Show Resolution 2010-B for the 2010 Public Facility Fees and Policy Amendments was discussed. City Administrator Bill Morris explained the changes under this resolution. Activity at the building is limited to one private activity rental per day, limits a person to one activity per quarter in a calendar year. This limit does not apply to classes or activities sponsored by the city or where it is deemed a public service by the city administrator. The fees were raised from $50.00 to $75.00 for the main rental category for the building and generates an additional $25.00 per reservation for cleaning. The Resolution was adopted unanimously on March 18, 2010 Resolution 2010-C: A major change in the Justice Court was necessary. For most of the city's history, Marriott-Slaterville has been part of the Weber Justice Court. Budget deficits and personnel problems have resulted in the county closing that court and asking Roy City to take over future actions. Roy City does not use the county sheriff for law enforcement, while our city does. Therefore, we will not use the Roy City Justice Court, except for cases prior to April 1, 2010. The city originally hoped to join with the Farr West Justice Court. The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) informed Marriott-Slaterville that they would likely require costly court upgrades for a merger with Farr West, so that course was abandoned. Marriott-Slaterville opted to join Washington Terrace, who also uses the county sheriff, but is further away. Most Justice Court cases involve non-residents. As a convenience, residents receiving a non-mandatory appearance citation can contact the City Attorney at 801-627-1919, ext. 205, to see if a plea arrangement can be reached on a case-by-case basis, without having to appear in Court. Otherwise, all new cases after April 1, 2010, are handled at the new "Washington Terrace/Marriott-Slaterville Justice Court" located in Washington Terrace. The Justice Court shall retain 50% of the fines remitted before the last day of each month for the prior month. Washington Terrace will handle all clerical work and the prosecution for Marriott-Slaterville cases. There is a 180 day termination clause in the agreement should a change be desired later. Resolution 2010-C entering Interlocal Agreement with Washington Terrace City for a consolidated Justice Court was approved March 18, 2010. Three public hearings were held in conjunction with the June 17, 2010, City Council Meeting. The first concerned Resolution 2010-D on FY 2009-10 final budget for the Pioneer Special Service District, which has not changed significantly since last year. No public comment was offered. The hearing was closed, and after the resumption of the public meeting, Resolution 2010-D was passed unanimously. The second public hearing on Resolution 2010-E on adopting the FY 2009-10 amended city budget, was opened. No public comment was offered. The public meeting was opened and Resolution 2010-E was unanimously approved. The third public hearing on Resolution 2010-F on adopting FY 2010-11 final city budget was opened, and again no public comment was offered. At the ensuing public meeting, Resolution 2010-F was passed unanimously. On August 16, 2010, Resolution 2010-G, concerning an interlocal agreement with Weber County for the purpose of operating a consolidated Weber County Animal Shelter was discussed. Lt. Ferrin with Weber County Animal Services explained the new operation. It is an agreement between Weber County, Ogden City, and Roy City, for a 20 year bond. Each city has a voice in the decisions. Beside Ogden and Roy, West Haven, Hooper, Harrisville, Huntsville, North Ogden and Farr West have signed on to the contract. Pleasant View and South Ogden each have their own facility. The fee is proposed to be $88.00 per animal, with the figures taken from last years' amounts. If the city signs the contract, it will pay for the full 20 years from fees for animals that are picked up, as confirmed by Commissioner Dearden in a phone call to Ken Martin. If no animals are picked up, there is no fee other than the $1,625 per month to cover the cost of the animal control officers. If the city gives a 180 day advance notice, they can opt out of the contract. 7 |
