Show The Pioneer Post Volume XVII Issue 8 Marriott-Slaterville City Newsletter August 2015 1570 West 400 North - Phone 801 -627-1919 - www.marriott-slaterville.org City Council Report Scott Van Leeuwen, City Council President Marriott-Slaterville City has two separate but equal branches of government. The executive branch is led by the Mayor. The legislative branch is lead by a five- member Council. The executive branch handles the daily operation of the city, appoints officials, proposes the budget, responds to violations and complaints, manages parks, implements policies and services, and does planning and zoning, among many other responsibilities. The City Council is the legislative branch of the city. The City Council 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. One member of the City Council is elected at- large. I am pleased to report that the City Council recently adopted the Mayor's balance budget for 2015-16. The City has no debt, no property tax, and no bonds. Our City Staff works hard on grants and other projects all year. Our roads are generally in good shape, our parks are maintained, our Planning Commission works hard controlling growth while affording property rights. This summer we have had a good water supply and have not needed to implement drought restrictions. However, as good practice, the City has cut back on watering parks so they look a bit more dry this summer. You are encouraged to implement water conservation practices as well. If you have legislative questions contact a member of the City Council. Otherwise, feel free to call the City Office at "01-627-1919. PLANNING COMMISSION TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 2015 - 7:00 P.M. 1.
