Man oh man do I wish this was our last zoom meeting. I guess we just still don't know! This one was a little bit of fun though. We did a zoom background contest to spice things up a little bit, and the results were pretty hilarious in my opinion. Take a gander and see who you think won!
Below is the agenda.
You can watch the live streaming to Youtube below, or by clicking here.
Alright, let's dive in:
•Covid-19 updates: Mayor Jo related that Governor Herbert will likely be moving our state from a red zone to an orange zone starting May 1st. More details will be forthcoming. She also related that there has only been 1 confirmed Covid case from South Weber. There was at one time 2, though the second turned out to be a false positive.
•General Plan Timeline: As discussed in early April, the general plan open houses were postponed due to Covid-19. The council decided to plan for open houses to resume starting in late May. While we won't know what measures will need to be in place at that time, it will be determined that some sort of adjustments will likely take place to maintain social distancing. The council also received all the feedback from the survey participants and found their perspectives very helpful and changes are likely to be further made to the survey based off their suggestions.
•Dog Park: The retention basin for Harvest Park (near the Posse grounds) will be utilized as a dog park. The 4 acre basin will be fully fenced and have a walking trail along the outside of it. The council reviewed the rules and parking. The Parks and Rec committee will continue to work on adjustments or changes as needed. The park is planned to be opened sometime in late July or early August.
•No on-street parking on 2700 East: This discussion came before the council after being reviewed by the public safety committee - which was reviewing concerns of on street parking after a 'park-n-protest' was held in early September of 2019. The committee decided to redstripe both sides of 2700 E from South Weber Drive to Deer Run as soon as possible. The committee also determined there were other streets that needed to be looked into, specifically South Weber Drive in front of Highmark, Cottonwood Drive, and Canyon Meadows among others. The council decided some changes in the city code will regarding parking to be changed, no longer allowing trailers/dumpsters and other large vehicles to be parked on the side of the street for longer than 24 hours (down from the original 48 hours). The committee will be meeting shortly to further discuss the increase of parking on Cottonwood Drive due to the trailhead nearby.
•Davis County Sheriff's Office: The contract that was signed with DCSO had the ability to renew for 2 more years at the same contracted rate as the previous year and original contract amount. The council approved this renewal.
New Business:
•Fellow resident Diana Hyer would like to add some cheer to the residents at Peterson Farms Assisted Living. Diana is organizing a drive by wave to help ease the loneliness due to isolation measure resulting from Covid-19. Come and wave hello and give encouragement. Meet at Canyon Meadows Park at 1 pm. Decorate the passenger side of your door and prepare to share some cheer!
Council Reports:
Mayor Jo: She has recently met with Curtis and Dave regarding the Rec Center and plans that will be in place once they are given more direction. More details will be forthcoming.
Councilwoman Alberts: The Country Fair Days committee met. The organizers are moving forward with what they can but have decided that they need clarification on whether large event gatherings will take place by June 1st. They felt any time after that date would not give them enough time to get everything prepared and vendors and money raised. In the event that we will not able to do large gatherings, fireworks will likely proceed with proper distancing measures in place. However, anything else would likely be cancelled though they will continue to look into what they can.
Councilman Winsor: The Municipality Committee will be meeting soon to review the contract with Job Corp on the pipeline replacement. He will be reporting details of that contract to the council when he has them.
And that's a wrap my peeps! Just a reminder the council will not meet again until May 12th at which time we may or may not be able to meet at City Hall. Regardless of where we meet, live streaming will continue.
