Mayor Van Leeuwen said it is $1,500.00. Mr. Phipps had requested $10,000 in order to provide necessary items for the City and CERT representatives in case of an emergency. Mr. Phipps said he is going on a mission and is resigning as the CERT coordinator. He said he will continue to help with CERT, but feels the budget needs to increase.

Discussion/action on Resolution changing the name of the 'Marriott-Slaterville City Community Development and Renewal Agency' to the 'Marriott-Slaterville City Community Reinvestment Agency' as provided in Utah Code Annotated §17C-1-201.5. Mr. Morris explained that the Utah State Legislature changed the name of the Marriott-Slaterville City Community Development and Renewal Agency, so this process is just to update the change.

Holley expressed concern that there were several exceptions listed in the Dark Sky Ordinance, so Mr. Morris reviewed the recommended ordinance it with the Council page by page. He reviewed the exemptions and noted that the City cannot typically regulate State and Federal government entities so they are exempt. This Ordinance grandfather's existing facilities, new construction and reconstruction will need to comply. Pres. Holley feels everyone should comply and feels the ordinance should be more strict. Vice-Pres. Illum feels we should approve the Ordinance at this time and then review it in the future. Motion by Mr. Hodson to approve Ordinance 2018-06. Seconded by Vice-Pres. Illum.

Please complete the Registration Form and return to Dana by August 24th. b. Trunk-or-Treat Due to decreased attendance we will no longer charge an entrance fee this year and there will be no fence installed. The only charge will be $3 for the meal. The Youth Council will be in charge of serving the food and drinks. We will have canned pop this year instead of the bottles. Pres. Holley asked why we hold this event at the Slaterville Park rather than the Marriott Park. She feels the limited parking at the Slaterville Park is very dangerous. Staff review the history of this event at Slaterville Park. c.

Discussion/action on event review: Fourth of July. Feedback from Council members was favorable. Dee suggested there be a breakdown as to how much money was brought in from the raffle and games and how much was spent. He also asked about financial accountability. Staff reported on the financial accountability and security of the funds collected. 10. Officer reports and legislative oversight. Mayor Van Leeuwen thanked everyone for their concern during the recent loss of his grandson. Mr. Morris informed the Council that our phone system is no longer working and we are in the process of getting bids to purchase a new one. Hopefully it will be installed soon. Mr. Morris brought up the recent murder of a Code Enforcement Office in West Valley. This is a concern for all cities, including ours. As Elijah is our Code Enforcement/Violation Officer we are naturally concerned for his safety. As a result of this incident West Valley City now handles all of their Code Enforcement by mail and their officers do not go out by themselves unless they have a law enforcement officer present. We had an incident last week when the building was rented for a wedding and the client was extremely abusive to staff. Mr. Morris mentioned if an officer is present when this happens we would like them to intervene. Mr. Morris met with the contract cities at the Sheriff's Office regarding our contract. Some cities want to pay by how many hours the deputies spend in our City. Because our city is centrally located in the county they use our facilities as a precinct office and our contract would increase dramatically. He also mentioned that some cities are evaluating the possibility of establishing a unified police district. They plan to meet with Ryan Arbon, the incoming sheriff-elect, to discuss ideas to help decrease the cost of law enforcement. Mr. Meyerhoffer said chip sealing was completed on 2800 West and 700 South this week. A different chip is used this time which should last longer. The same chip was used on 1600 West a couple of years ago as a test and performed well. Mr. Hodson said mosquitoes carrying the West Nile Virus have been discovered in Weber County. He reminded Council members that the public can call abatement and request that they come and spray. Mr. Hodson said a head gate on the Perry Ditch located in the BDO was not shut one night after someone watered and it ended up causing a flood. He feels we need to educate the shareholders in the irrigation companies so they understand how to water. Mr. Hodson brought up the issue of noise from an exhaust fan at the Honeyville warehouse located at BDO. He has contacted Blake Wahlen about it and was told that Mr. Wahlen has a plan he is working on. Mr. Hodson said the fan is in violation and a noise wall will have to be installed. Mr. Hodson also said he contacted Google Maps regarding the truck traffic on 1200 West and informed them that road is not a truck route. Google said they will update their map and notify him when a change is implemented. Dennis thanked staff for all their good work. Pres. Holley also expressed her condolences to Mayor Van Leeuwen and thanked staff for all of their hard work. 11. Adjourn until September 20, 2018. Being no further business, Pres. Holley adjourned the meeting at 7:38 PM.
