Business:
1. Update on the Pleasant View City Recreation Program. (Presenter: Steve Moore)
Steve Moore, Recreation Director, gave an update on the recreation program. Steve Moore: six years ago there were 90 participants in the baseball/softball program and it has grown to 430 participants. There are four fields being used. We would like to get lights at Barker Park. Basketball six years ago there were 85 participants and it has grown to 240 participants. I would like to start discussions with the school district when the new elementary school is built that it includes a gymnasium. We have had requests for volleyball. We are partnering with Weber High School and will begin a program next February or March. We have been tracking football numbers of those playing in North Ogden City. Last year there were 28 kids from Pleasant View playing in North Ogden City at all levels. I would suggest that the city consider charging AYSO for the use of the playing fields.
2. Public Hearing – Adopt an ordinance changing the zone from RE-20 to CP-1 on property located at approximately Lomond View Drive and Pleasant View Drive (the site of the Lomond View Nursery). (Presenter: Bruce Talbot)

Voting Aye: CM Boehme, CM Ferguson, CM Hjorten, CM Walker, and CM Humphreys. Motion passed.
Bruce Talbot: the proposal is to clarify the exact boundaries of the actual Lomond View Nursery. Bruce Talbot showed the site plan. The intention of the General Plan is for commercial. The planning commission recommended it. At the public hearing, parking was an issue. The Hales’ have committed to working with their clients and direct them to the parking areas and limit the party size. The city could look into ‘no’ parking signs. Mayor Clifford: what triggered this request? Bruce Talbot: they were consolidating for tax reasons and realized it was all not the right zone. Mayor Clifford asked for comments from the public. Brent Hales: in the original zoning there was a drawing but the legal description did not match it. CM Hjorten: the nursery is a conditional use in the CP zone. Bruce Talbot: we are making it all CP and not changing anything but where the zoning is at. Mayor Clifford: I have had comments on the parking from citizens. I want to make sure there is not continual parking by homes. What are the plans for rear parking? Brent Hales: for receptions there is a notice in the invitations noting the parking in the rear. They fill up the street first. We will try to educate them on the rear parking. The Barn Golf Course also has overflow parking on Pleasant View Drive. We are open to city options. Bruce Talbot: Lomond View Drive is the biggest issue. It is a narrow street. Paul Ellsworth: we could post no parking. I haven’t notice many parking problems on the streets even when snow plowing.

3. Country Fields Subdivision Phase 1 – request conditional acceptance (Presenter: Bruce Talbot)
Bruce Talbot: this one fell through the cracks. There is a letter dated June 20, 2008 from Ben Slater (Jones & Associates) on the release. Mayor Clifford: some home owners didn’t want the trees. CM Humphreys: the trees that would be planted would be over gas lines. Mayor Clifford: could the tree be placed elsewhere? Bruce Talbot: originally the trees were to create a streetscape. Mayor Clifford: we need to discuss the criteria in the RE-15 zone at a later time. CM Boehme: are we going to hold the guarantee for one year? Bruce Talbot: their escrow/contractual agreement is for two-years. We could go with the new state law and give the one-year guarantee. We need to be consistent with everyone.

6. Adopt a resolution to create a North View Fire Service District. (Presenter: Mayor Clifford)
Mayor Clifford read the proposed resolution. Mayor Clifford: the same amount of tax paid to the service district will be reduced by the cities. We feel, as the three mayors, that this is an important step to take in fire protection and let North View Fire set their direction without funding by the cities. There will be a board. CM Boehme: what is the cost to create the district? Lynn Froerer: there is the publication for the public hearing, the election cost, which should be minimal because we are adding to the already election process, and attorney fees. Mayor Clifford: there was a proposal to go with the Weber County Fire District which was not economical. CM Humphreys: what would be the tax the city would collect. Lynn Froerer: it would be $127 less than what it is now. Mayor Clifford: that is the type of information that we need at the public hearing. CM Hjorten: the more information that we can get to the public the more informed the decision will be.
Motion was made by CM Hjorten to adopt the resolution as presented to create the North View Fire Service District (Resolution 2008-D). 2nd by CM Humphreys. Roll call vote. Voting Aye: CM Boehme, CM Ferguson, CM Hjorten, CM Walker, and CM Humphreys. Motion passed.
