MONA CITY COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 8, 2020 6:00 PM COUNCIL CHAMBERS MEETING WAS CALLED BY MAYOR WILLIAM M. MILLS AT 6:00 P.M. PRESENT: William M. Mills- Mayor Amy Stanley - Councilmember Frank Riding - Councilmember Jay Mecham - Councilmember - Absent Micheal Stringer - Councilmember Randy Christensen - Councilmember GUEST: See the attached sign in sheet for the list of guest ALSO PRESENT: Myrna Trautvein - Times News Reporter Director of Finance Everd Squire, Michelle Dalton Secretary/Treasurer, Lyla Spencer, City Recorder, Chad Phillips Water/Gas, PUBLIC HEARING: Amending Mona City Code 6-2 Noise of Certain Vehicles within City Limits & Related Matters. Mayor William M. Mills open the public hearing for Mona City Code 6-2 Noise of Certain Vehicles Within City Limits & Related Matters at 6:00 p.m. Mayor Mills introduced the above topic on Mona City Code 6-2 to the public body. Forty Five plus attended the hearing leaving standing room only. Thirteen attendees' shared their remarks with the council and those present. Those addressing opinions are as follows: Joshua Davis, Jematisa Anderson, Wade Woolestenhume, Jeff Walker, Terry Lynn, Dan Woodland, Cory Ballow, Abe Hansen, Janene Kay, Jeanette Southworth, Brandon Kay, Kurt Shelley, Jana Hardy, Leanna Wilson, & Tyson White. Most of those that commented had concerns that Mona City is trying to take away the rights, privileges and fun for the city's youth. Other said we need to address the speed limit & noise level; we need to put new regulations in place, enforce the laws that are already in the city's code/ordinances. Barking dogs seem worse than the noise and speed of motor cycles and ATV's, if you have a problem talk with those who are violating the ordinance, (note: please be civil). Some liked the idea of having the kids out riding rather than sitting in the basement playing video games. What is the percentage of those complaining compared to Mona City's population, is there just a small number? What does Mona City offer for the youth ages 13 and up? There is a lot to do for young kids but not for the older kids. Safety concerns for the kids. Law Enforcement in Mona City is doing a great job with the large area they are serving. As long as the law is being obeyed why complain, safety should be enforced. The MONA CITY COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 8, 2020 kids do ride fast, but usually they slow down when asked to. Noise is not a problem; let law enforcement do their job as far as speed. Kids need to learn the rules of the road; it is the adult's responsibility to teach their kids the rules of the road, maybe an afterschool program?? (The city has offered ATV classes each year with very little public interest). Not necessarily the ATV's & motorcycles but speeding vehicles. Respect your neighbors, enforce the law. If my kid is disobeying the law I want to know. We need to teach our kids what is right and what is wrong. Deputy Brent Pulver ended the session by telling those present that safety is the main concern for the kids and residence in the city, and not to take away privileges and their bikes. He also stated people are not willing to write a written complaint on the offenders. Mayor Mills said there will be no more warnings; tickets will be given from this point on. He also asked those present if they would support the city's ATV class. There was no decision or vote from the council on the above proposed ordinance. Mayor William M. Mills closed the public hearing at 7:20 with no further comments.
