dates in July..." However, cities have authority to regulate the discharge of fireworks and firearms in places that may present a fire hazard. Fireworks can be discharged between 11:00 a.m. and 11 p.m. between July 1 and July 7, and July 21 and July 25, and until midnight on July 4 and 24. Firearms cannot be used within 600 feet of a structure and may be limited further in dry areas. Marriott-Slaterville did not impose additional restrictions, but encouraged residents to be mindful of surroundings and neighbors when using fireworks and firearms, keeping away from dry material. An article in the Standard Examiner on May 16, 2012, announced the placement of bridges by West Haven and Marriott-Slaterville over the Weber River which connect a new trail segment. The paved trail begins just west of 1-15 and goes past 1900 West, and is scheduled to be opened this year. The August 2012 issue of The Pioneer Post told us that a Weber County R.A.M.P. grant was received to extend the river trail system from West Haven on 1-15 to 1900 West in Marriott-Slaterville. In conjunction with West Haven City, two bridges have been installed, one on 17th Street and the other at 1-15, and cement decks poured. The asphalt trail was finished this summer. Trail enthusiasts from all over the county have thanked our community for its dedication to trails and improvement of the river corridor. A Trail Grand Opening was held on November 13, 2012, at 4:00 p.m. at the new trail bridge by 1-15 on the Weber River, 1723 West 1350 South, with a ribbon cutting. This is a section of the Centennial Trail along the Weber River. The 27-mile Centennial Trail follows the Ogden and Weber Rivers and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, connecting Ogden and Weber canyons. Ogden resident Eddie Harbertson, who donated some of the property needed to complete the one-mile stretch of the trail, preformed the ribbon cutting. West Haven Mayor Brian Melaney and Marriott-Slaterville Mayor Keith Butler spoke, as did representatives of Weber Pathways and RAMP. Refreshments were available at Marriott-Slaterville City office building. About 35 people were present for the event. A bonus from the new trail was announced in the October issue of The Pioneer Post. Free fire wood day was on Saturday, November 10, 2012 , from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at 1755 west 1350 south. It comes from the trees removed during construction of the new trail, and could be obtained at a person's own risk, and providing your own equipment needed. At the September 20, 2012 City Council Meeting, Mr. Morris advised that cement had been poured around the Bowery at the Marriott Park, in order to widen it. Councilman Scott VanLeeuwen asked about vandalism at the parks, and was advised it has not been bad this past year. Mayor Butler indicated that the parks are closing soon for the year, which has been a busy one for the parks, and one that has seen few problems. At the April 19, 2012, City Council Meeting the moving of the old Smout cabin on Frank Blair's property was discussed. Possibly it could be moved across the ditch and placed on cement so it can be secured, and may be relocated to a future museum or elsewhere at a later date. Residents Problems and Concerns At the January 19, 2012, City Council Meeting, Mr. Morris and Mayor Butler reported that the city held a meeting for last year's flood victims, and discussed the easement programs offered by the USDA and NRCS. They also talked about FEMA and that Weber County hopes to get the debris cleaned from the river. A continuing problem exists between the Miller Kennels and neighboring residents. At the August 16, 2012, City Council Meeting, several residents in attendance, Margie Long, Marion Long, Mike Scholsser and Zane Kofoed, spoke on the barking problems, and felt that the city could intervene and help. Mr. Miller is in compliance with city regulations. Staff advised that animal control should be involved; also each resident can seek civil court remedies. Mr. Morris had met with some residents regarding the barking dogs. He felt that 13
