Resolution 2009-L, extended the current interlocal agreement for animal service with Weber County, retroactive to June 30, 2009. On October 13, 2009, City Administrator Bill Morris reviewed the projects within the 2009-2010 Capital Improvement Plan, pointing out that most of the completed projects were done with grant funds. The 2009-2010 Capital Improvement Plan was approved unanimously by the council. The findings of the 2009 Report Update of the Moderate Income Housing Plan were reviewed by the staff, and discussed by the council. The report was approved by the council with all voting in favor. Unusually rainy weather during May and June delayed some gardening, but plants and grass already in place appreciated the precipitation which came quite regularly and brought a healthy green to our surroundings. Gardeners also were grateful that less watering was necessary. The water conserved helped the outlook for the ensuing hot and dry season. Though the temperature rose, we didn't see the over 100° we experienced last summer. The July 2009 Pioneer Post contained a message from Mayor Keith Butler. He reported there were only a few flooding problems which occurred during the spring. The storm water basin on 700 South is operational and will relieve storm water stress on the Marriott Ditch and 12th Street. Several storm drains were cleaned to prevent clogging of the drains. Special Assignments Mayo Butler was approved to serve again on the Bona Vista Water Board and the Central Weber Sewer, and Scott VanLeeuwen on the Weber Fire District Board. Mr. Van Leeuwen said that the Weber Fire District purchased a new fire engine, and is trying to obtain ambulance service for this area as well. Councilman Kim Slater again represented the city with Mosquito Abatement. He had a video regarding West Nile Virus available which anyone interested could watch. There were no human cases of West Nile Virus in Weber County; only one case involving a horse. The Mosquito Abatement did a good job this year, spraying more often since they purchased their own airplane. They placed some mosquito eating fish in the storm water basin at the city park to help keep the mosquito population down. Mr. Slater said there has been an excessive amount of gnats this year, but the Mosquito Abatement District does not have the mandate to address this problem. He felt the gnats were coming from the sewer district; possibly when they removed the trees at the sewer plant the gnats gathered at individual homes. He also provided a copy of the Mosquito Abatement annual report to the council. Councilman Delbert Hodson reported that the Ogden Nature Center had a lake across from his house and he was concerned about mosquitos. The Nature Center responded by letter on the spraying of mosquitos which is done at the center. Trent Meyerhoffer has contracted with the State Fish and Wildlife to trap and relocate beavers which have been causing problems in the irrigation ditches. Alerts The city has a scrap metal clean-up drive, with a dumpster placed in the rear parking lot of the city for junk metal of all kinds. No non-metal junk was accepted. The city raised several hundred dollars from this drive and the funds will be usedfor parks and beautification. Clean Up Days with a dumpsters at the Marriott Park and the Slaterville Park in April and November were very successful. The complimentary service is sponsored by the city and Waste Management. Residents were asked to be sure that all material was completely inside the dumpster and not left on the ground. The Weber-Morgan Health Department has placed a drug disposal lockbox in the lobby of the Municipal Complex for disposal of any outdated or no longer needed pharmaceuticals a resident has. The lockbox has become very popular, with 12 pounds of expired/unwanted drugs being collected in the first few weeks of use.
