Marriott-Slaterville City History December 2010 The holiday season was here again! Councilman Delbert Hodson gave the city's Christmas Message in the December issue of The Pioneer Post, wishing all the citizens a Merry Christmas season and a happy and prosperous New Year. He encouraged all to remember people who are not as fortunate as many of us are~truly the tradition we should follow especially during this season. Breakfast with Santa was held on Saturday, December 11, 2010, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., featuring breakfast, fun activities, and a visit from Santa Claus. It was under the direction of Shauna and Stacee Meyerhoffer, with the help of elves Stacee Meyerhoffer, Rod and DeAnn Hufstetler, Tim and JoAnn Louth, Al and Ramona Farr, and Glen Meyerhoffer. Cereal, pancakes, ham, scrambled eggs, doughnuts, apple and orange juice, and regular or chocolate milk, were served at the great breakfast. About 90 adults and children attended, not all of them wanting a close and personal encounter with Jolly Old St. Nick. The results of the West Davis Corridor Level One Screening Process are now available. The process evaluated 46 alternatives for their potential to reduce congestion and delay. They were narrowed to 14, and can be reviewed on www.udot.utah.gov/westdavis/maps. The alternatives are being evaluated to assess their potential community and environmental impacts, and the results will be shared at open houses in February 2011, and on line. Comments are welcome on their website or telephone 877-298- 1991. Monthly e-mail updates can be received if residents sign up at westdavis@utah.gov. The Weber-Morgan Health Department has a drug disposal lockbox in the lobby of the Municipal Building for the proper disposal of unused and outdated drugs we may have in our home. At the December 16, 2010, City Council Meeting, a business license was approved for Welch's Nursery, 337 North 2000 West, for a nursery, produce, and crafts. Ryan Child and Steve Davis, independent auditors, attended the meeting, with Mr. Child reporting the results of the audit performed for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. He noted that the city is in good financial shape and still has no property tax. He made some suggestions on journal entries and internal control issues, advising that an additional person beside the one who prints checks, sign them, to prevent any risk of abuse. The city exceeded the 18% state cap on revenue, and about $52,000 should be transferred to capital projects. He complimented staff on obtaining grants to help the City financially. The Pioneer Special Service District is also operating within its budget. Following discussion on the audit, the council approved it unanimously.
