Marriott-Slaterville History November 2008 The United Methodist Church sponsored a 5K run on November 1, 2008, which was a bright, warm fall day. The run was plotted through BDO, beginning and ending just west of the nearest depot warehouse to 1200 West. It was under the direction of Marty Smith (who has run the Boston Marathon), and Ray Christian. About 30 runners signed up for the event. The city was well represented in the winners circle, as residents Michael Hancock finished first, with Jonathan Spencer, second and Zachary Spencer, third. Winners in their respective age categories were Brian Snyder, Quentin Carter, Michael Hancock, Jonathan Spencer, and Brady Spencer (the youngest entrant). Women winners included First, Toby Nishikawa, Second, Brandi Lierd and Third, Marty Smith. Annie Spencer won in her age group. Pastor Alane Currier Griggs, and Associaate Pastor Michelle Perry, welcomed participants and spectators to the event. Many prizes were awarded to the runners by drawing. Vern Blair was in charge of the chili cook-off, with Mayor Keith Butler and Greg Lewis as two of the judges. Karleen Warner was a chili entrant from our community. Throughout the morning, the band, Evidence of Grace, entertained. Thanks to all those who sponsored this fun community event. UDOT has installed the freeway signs indicating Marriott-Slaterville for the 12th Street exit. The Central Weber Sewer plant is hosting a barbecue for residents on December 6. The Sewer District will hold a public hearing on December 15, to present the proposed sewer rate increase needed for expansion of the sewer plant. Treatment fees for our residents are proposed to increase from $7.50 to $15.00 per month, starting in January 2009. Mr. Slater inquired about the new pipe line construction from the Pioneer Road sewer plant at 2800 West. Mayor Butler advised that the construction will start in December and finish around April. The new line will be installed from the river backward to the sewer plant. The November issue of The Pioneer Post, expressed the thanks of the city to Corey Combe for his donation of eleven trees to the new city office park. The annual fall clean-up was announced in the Post. A dumpster was located at both the Marriott Park and the Slaterville Park from November 14 to 16. It was a free service to residents so that fall waste could be disposed of. It was requested that waste be placed entirely in the dumpster and not left on the ground. The service was sponsored by the city and Waste Management. The project went well. It is that time of year! Santa will be coming to the Senior Center on December 13, 2008, from 9:00 to 11.00 a.m. Breakfast will be served for $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for children 12 and under, by reservation. The Marriott-Slaterville Branch of America First Credit Union and the city are sponsoring the activity. America First donated $500.00 to support the Breakfast with Santa which enabled the price to be lowered for both children and adults. A reminder of the opportunity to nominate someone for the annual community awards was also in the Post. This is a chance to recognize those who have made outstanding contributions to our community.
