A severe thunderstorm warning from the National Weather Service said that winds near 70 mph were discovered by Doppler radar in the storm that traveled eastward at 45 mph over Northern Utah. Scott Van Leeuwen, City Council President, explained the two separate branches of government within the city. The Executive Branch is led by the Mayor, which handles the daily operation of the city, appoints officials, proposes the budget, responds to violations and complaints, manages parks, implements policies and services, and takes care of planning and zoning. The Legislative Branch is led by a five-member Council which makes laws, adopts the budget, authorizes contracts, sets tax rates, confirms appointments, and exercises oversight. Two members of the City Council are elected from the East District, and two from the West District, with one member being elected At-Large. President Van Leeuwen reported that the City Council recently adopted the Mayor's balanced budget for 2015-16. The City has no debt, no property tax and no bonds. City Staff work hard on grants and other projects all year. Our roads are generally in good shape, our parks are maintained and our Planning Commissions works hard to control growth while still affording property rights. This summer we have had a good water supply resulting in no need to implement drought restrictions. Everyone is encouraged to implement water conservation practices as well.
