they were taking out their anger on him and the council. If the council gave him approval to do so, he will set up a mediation, but felt that it may not be of help if the residents are too upset to seek resolution. President Dennis Ilium thought that the city could offer mediation between the two sides. Staff contacted concerned citizens by letter, seeking to do this. A mediation session took place, and the matter was resolved, at least for the present. We were advised in The Pioneer Post about road closures in July 2012. The Mill Creek Subdivision road was closed for about 24 hours on July 10. The Spencer Farms road likewise was closed on July 23, for 24 hours. Holbrook Asphalt applied a High Density Mineral bond to these roads as part of the maintenance schedule to extend the life of the road and prevent potholes and cracking. It needed time to properly cure. Residents had to park on streets outside the subdivision for the closure period, and walk to their homes. Other road projects required attention by residents. Weber County patched pot holes in the city as weather permitted. This summer 1200 West was chip-sealed between 12** Street and 400 North, requiring traffic delays. Councilman Delbert Hodson, concerned about heavy truck traffic on 1200 West, called England Trucking, identified as one of the big users of the road, and the traffic now seems less. At the September 2012 City Council Meeting, President Ilium expressed concern about the use of ATVs in the storm water detention basin on 700 South. He would like signs posted that no ATVs are allowed, and also would like to see the canal fenced. He is also concerned about the safety of students walking from the Wahlquist Seminary to the Venture School. Councilman Delbert Hodson, at the request of Rob Smout, in May attended a Weber County Farm Bureau meeting. They are beginning to clean the debris out of the Weber River. Weber Basin wants to enlarge the Willard Canal and cement it, which would increase the capacity to carry twice the amount of water. This would impact some of the roadways. It would be an eight year project, and should help eliminate flooding problems in the western part of the county. Activities and All That Fun The March 2012 issue of The Pioneer Post, was a harbinger for Spring, and its many associated activities. One to look forward to was the annual Easter Egg Hunt scheduled for Saturday, April 7, 2012, at the Slaterville Park, beginning at 10:00 a.m. It was for kids ages 1 - 8. There were about 120 happy and excited children in attendance. The Easter Bunny made a special appearance, a great photo opportunity. Angela Erwin filled 1300 Easter eggs, all found and accounted for (hopefully). It was sponsored this year by the Les Olson Company, Jay Carnahan State Farm Insurance, and our city. Marriott-Slaterville joined with Harrisville for an affordable youth recreation program. Baseball and softball sign-ups for grades K-9 ran March 1 through March 31, 2012. The Marriott-Slaterville Tennis Association, in conjunction with Harrisville City and Marriott-Slaterville City sponsored FREE Play Tennis Days for children 5-10, from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m., on April 7, 14, 21, and 28. It was held at the Harrisville tennis courts, 1350 North Highway 89. No lessons were given. The Play Days were just for the children to have fun playing tennis, experienced or not. Summer tennis lessons for children and adults are again available at the Harrisville Tennis Courts, starting June 4, 2012. Playing twice a week for two months is $30 per family (2 or more children, with accompanying parent) for children 5-11, and $25 for adults (2 or more), 12 and over. Registration closed May 26, 2012.
