Flu shots were available at the Senior Center on September 25, 2012, from 11:00 a.m. to 12 noon. At the September 20, 2012, City Council Meeting, a business license was approved for The Beauty Cafe, 1212 West 950 South, beauty services. Captain Earl Simmons, Utah National Guard, gave a slide presentation from the National Guard on the Community Covenant Program. He would like the city to participate in this program to help service members, veterans, and their families. The goal is to have each city and town in Utah hold a Community Covenant Signing Ceremony. The city is asked to designate a military liaison to help with this program. Resolution 2012-N, designating the City Administrator as an Environmental Certifying Officer in order to obtain CDBG funds, was approved by the City Council. This will apply to all federal program funds where required. He will certify environmental documents tor federal programs. The council approved Resolution 2012-0 supporting the Community Covenant program. This will recognize the commitment and sacrifices that military personnel and their families make in our community, by joining the Community Covenant Program. City Administrator Bill Morris will be the designated liaison for the city until the mayor designates another. Earnest Rowley, County Surveyor, advised that the state law was changed to add UCA17-23-1 (3)(a)(vii) that included in the duties of the county surveyor to administer city monument preservation activities. This interlocal agreement gives the county surveyor's office permission to enter the city and maintain city survey monuments, which is a statutory responsibility of that office. Monuments can be costly to replace, if destroyed, or a survey has to be reconstructed. The monuments can be put in a GPS system which would help locate the monuments in the future. The county monument program is tied into the Blue Stakes System. President Dennis Illum asked if there is a cost involved with this procedure. There is no charge to the city from the county, however, there might be a fee charged development that requires or affects a monument. Mr. Rowley said the county charges a fee when a developer comes to the county, and this money is held in escrow to cover the cost of the monuments. The agreement expires at the end of his term. Councilman Scott VanLeeuwen asked about the accuracy of the GPS system compared to the original. Mr. Rowley replied that there are problems with original monuments being off, and they do the best they can to alleviate the situation. After discussion, the council voted unanimously to approve Resolution 2012-P, Interlocal Agreement with Weber County for Survey Monuments. The council discussed Ordinance 2012-05 relating to Comprehensive Storm Water Amendments. Mr. Morris said this ordinance reflects some amendments to the Comprehensive Storm Water so it will conform with existing laws of the state relating to the implementation of Phase II of the Federal Clean Water Act. It incorporates changes to the General Permit issued by the State to the City. The City Engineers, Jones and Associates, prepared the Ordinance. After suggestion by Councilman Kim Slater, on rewording in a section on utility billing, the Council adopted the Ordinance unanimously. Mayor Butler said he was 99.5% correct about revenue tor last year. He also 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. Mr. Morris advised that cement is being 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. 146
