Comments or Questions for the Mayor and Council:
Colette Virgil: What happened with the Wikstrom bill, the building inspector, and what about the police expenses compared in the Sentinel Newspaper? Mayor Wheelwright: Wikstrom have been contacted, the bill will be paid later this month, and in the meantime Nevin Limburg will follow-up with individuals on their willingness to pay a portion of it, and a proposal will be presented to the council for the moving of funds. At the last city council meeting, the building inspector position was approved for funding to the end of this fiscal year. It will be addressed during the budget process. I have not read the Sentinel Newspaper, so I am not prepared to comment.
Terel Grimley, president of the North Ogden Irrigation Canal, general manager of Pineview: there is a lot of flooding along the canal. The problem is growing overtime with growth. There is 14 ½ miles of canal from the Ogden Canyon to the Hot Springs. Ogden City dumps a lot of water into the canal, and the canal picks up additional water from North Ogden with 30 locations dumping into it. We try to maintain it. We are asking the communities, since we receive run off water from them, to help with maintenance, cleaning, getting rid of more water, or funds. I would like to measure the amount that each city is putting into the canal. Mayor Wheelwright requested a list of things that Terel would have the city participate in. Pleasant View City puts in and takes some out of the canal and the net contribution into the canal from Pleasant View is virtually zero.
Consent Items:
Motion was made by CM Call to approve only the business licenses to Carolyn Christofferson for a beauty salon and Brett Miller for a lawn care business. 2nd by CM Bailey. Voting was unanimous in favor.
Business:
1. Update on the Mosquito Abatement. (Presenter: Richard Lewis).
Richard Lewis, Mosquito Abatement Representative, reviewed the 59th annual report with the council. Mayor Wheelwright thanked Richard for his dedicated service and willingness to serve.
2. Request the purchase of two police vehicles. (Presenter: Scott Jackson)
Scott Jackson: I am requesting one vehicle and an emergency purchase later on if needed. The cost on the State bid is $23,000 to $24,000 under the lease program with an approximate yearly payment of $8,500. A 4-wheeldrive vehicle recoups two times more than 50% of resale.
Motion was made by CM Call to approve the request to purchase one police vehicle not to exceed $25,000. 2nd by CM Bailey. Voting was unanimous in favor.
3. Set procedure to fill the unexpired term of the office of city council.
Mayor Wheelwright read the procedures from the State law. We have flexibility on the procedure. I have talked with Rich Jones and Jody Burnett. Rich Jones emphasized being flexible, fair, reasonable, and decide whether it is done by motion or ballot. I recommend by motion. Four individuals have filed for the position. The set procedure is outlined as follows: 1) Candidates will be given a three minute presentation time done in alphabetical order. 2) Questions and comments can be asked from the community with a one minute response time for each candidate. We will spend 10 minutes on this step. 3) Allow the public to address the city council about the candidates and allow 10 minutes on this step. 4) Convene to a closed session. 5) Motion. If the decision is narrowed down to two then the council can question the candidates for 5 minutes each. And then convene to a closed meeting again. All the candidates were okay with the procedure set.
Motion was made by CM Call to adopt the procedure outlined above. 2nd by CM Clifford. Voting was unanimous in favor.
4. Fill the unexpired term of the office of city council.
Each candidate gave their presentation. They were all thanked for throwing their hats into the ring and their willingness to step up. The public asked questions of the candidates. The public addressed the city council.
