0001. Policies to discuss would include the maximum number of plots that may be sold per person, and charging for plots for resident versus non-residents. Councilman Scott VanLeeuwen requested that an article be printed in the city newsletter, regarding the possibility of creating a cemetery district to see what kind of feedback the city gets from residents. Councilman Delbert Hodson wants the city to advertise this as much as possible so the citizens are aware that if the cemetery district is formed there will be a property tax. The property tax initially may be $35-65 per year. Information was given in the newsletter about what would be involved in its establishment. Estimated costs of $35-$65 per year for the cemetery district property tax on a $250,000 home would be in effect until the cemetery was developed, possibly 5 years. It is ultimately up to the voters in the city to decide if they want a cemetery district.nov The question of whether to hold an election or gather names on a petition for the creation of a cemetery district was asked the Council. If the city gets 67% of the residents/property owners to sign a petition in favor of the cemetery district, an election would not have to be held. Mr. Steve Mecham has volunteered to take a petition around the city. Councilmen Kim Slater and Delbert Hodson both felt that it would be better to have this issue on the ballot instead of a petition. It would be more formal and allow people to vote their conscience privately. The Council directed staff to prepare a resolution for the December 15, 2011, regular meeting and to set a public hearing on January 19, 2012, to take public comment on the proposed creation of a cemetery district, by a unanimous vote. Resolution 22011-M, to initiate the process for creation of a cemetery district and set a public hearing for January 19, 2012 was approved unanimously at the December meeting. Activities And All That Fun The annual city Easter Egg Hunt for children 1 - 8, was announced in the March 2011 issue of The Pioneer Post. It was held on Saturday, April 23, 2011, beginning at 10:00 a.m. at the Slaterville Park. It was sponsored by the Les Olson Company, Operation Happy Kids, the City, and through Darren Erwin, Larry H. Miller of Riverdale. Fortunately, although cool, it was a much better day than last year's threatening weather. Over 100 children participated, gathering the 1,400 eggs filled with candy. Prizes, including small toys, were given, and a "candy toss" gave out even more candy. The highlight of the event was a visit by the Easter Bunny. We thank Darren and Angela Erwin, and all others, who brought about the fun event. Rabies Clinics were held at the Weber County Animal Shelter on April 2 and 16, from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. Rabies shots were $13.00. Dog licenses were available: $10.00 spayed/neutered, $25.00 unaltered, and $5.00 for spayed/neutered owned by persons over 65. Susan Bodily gave the City Council information about the upcoming Utah Renaissance Festival and Fantasy Faire. Now in itsS*1 year, it has been held at 3109 West Pioneer Road in previous years. When it became obvious that the flooding on this site precluded it being held there, Bill Morris assisted in obtaining a site for it this year and it has been moved to 1723 West 1350 South, behind Advanced Paving and Construction in the Riverside Industrial Park. Ms. Bodily thanked the City for their assistance. The National Geographic will be filming the jousting group about May 15, 2011. The resulting footage will be part of a five part special on the resurgence of jousting as a sport in the United States, and will highlight the Knights of Mayhem. As yet, the time and date of the national airing of the special is not known. The film company asked about hotels; Ms. Bodily advised people to reserve a hotel in Marriott- Slaterville City. This should be an opportunity to promote the arts and cultural events for the City. Last year there were about 10,000 attendees at the event, some from as far away as California. This year, the Faire will run ten days to accommodate the crowds, with four days dedicated to school field trips. 20
