Marriott-Slaterville History April 2011 The film company has asked about hotels; Ms. Bodily is advising people to reserve a hotel in Marriott- Slaterville City. This should be an opportunity to promote the arts and cultural events for Marriott-Slaterville 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. Dates of the event are May 6, 7, 8, 12,13, 14, 15, 20, 21, and 22. They feel that attendance should equal last year's. Resolution 2011-D, adopting the renewal of an Interlocal Agreement with Weber County for road maintenance services, was adopted unanimously by the Council. The Spring Clean Up was a disappointment as the dumpsters were not used properly. One dumpster at the Slaterville Park was filled with hay; the other one was filled with materials from a barn someone demolished. Councilman Rob Smout suggested it needs to be made clear that there is no dumping of hazardous material, tires, paint, etc. Perhaps an article in the city newsletter would help, requesting the people to be courteous and not take advantage of this program. The rising price of produce has increased interest in gardening. The Ten Basics of Square Foot Gardening were given in the April issue of The Pioneer Post. Even those with little space can be successful gardeners in this form. Mr. Smout said the sign for Venture School has been hung, and thanked Mr. Meyerhoffer for his help in putting the sign up. He thanked Councilman Scott VanLeeuwen for his donation to the Venture School. He feels it is good for the city to help the people in the community. The communities of Farr West, Marriott-Slaterville, and Plain City hosted an Emergency Preparedness Fair on Saturday, April 30, 2011, from 9:00 a.m. until Noon, at the Farr West Elementary School, 2190 West 2700 North.

With a letter dated April 20, 2011, the Boyer Company sent a copy of a DVD containing the historical information related to the Cowan-Buck Farmstead in our City. This DVD contains the research on the history of this property which was required prior to the construction of the IRS Building on the site.
