Show I NORTH OGDEN Jack Vogt, representing the Concerned Citizens said the intent of Weber Countys sensitive ordinance is clear and well defined Mr Vogt said according to reports from the Wasatch Front Regional Council which he has studied, the sensitive ordinance from Weber County explains the intent of the ordinance well. He says it tells the developer exactly what hes up against. However, Mr. Vogt said, the intent of the sensitive ordinances from North Ogden and Ogden City are not clear and therefore not as good. Sensitive ordinances are the ordinances which explain where any geological hazard may be and also define what can and cannot be built on hazardous ground. Mayor Eldon McColley asked Councilman Alan Christiansen to look into the sensitive ordinances for Weber County and Ogden City to see if the ordinance in North Ogden couldnt be defined better. Mr. Vogt also told the council two of Rep. Genevive Atwoods bills concerning earthquake hazards had made it through the House of Representatives in the Utah State Legislature. He said the other had been defeated but he added she planned on resubmitting it to the house in hopes of its passage. Rep. Atwood spoke to citizens of Northr Ogden on Jan. 13 to explain geological hazards throughout the state. Her two bills which passed in the house were one dealing with the inspection of federal dams by state officials and one setting up a committee to deal with education and safety aspects of earthquakes. Her bill which did not pass, deals with the state helping communities map areas for geological hazards. Councilman Alan Christiansen North Ogden, Utah Vol. 2 No. 3 praised the efforts of the Concerned Citizens in getting Rep. Atwood to speak. He said it was a good speech and a good crowd attending the speech. Councilman Eldon Orton said everyone should get behind Rep. Atwood and call their local representatives and urge them to vote for house bill no. 48.

He made the statement during his annual report to the city during the council meeting of Jan. 25. Chief Call said the monetary loss was $132,465. This averaged out to $12 04 per capita which is below the national average. The major monetary loss for the city was due to two fires, one of which was arson and the other is still under investigation. One of the two major fires caused $15,000 worth of damage. The other was the fire at the Utah State Industrial School. Damage reportable to North Ogden City in that blaze was estimated at $112,000. The reason Chief Call gave for part of the Industrial school damage being reported with North Ogdens fires was the property line goes through the middle of the barn which burned down. He said if it hadnt been for these two fires, monetary damage would have been near nothing. Chief Call thanked the council for their support of the stations effort, to which Mayor McColley replied the city should thank the fire department for their continued support. Chief Call asked if the council would consider helping the fire department out if they applied for a federal matching funds grant. He said the grant received last year by the fire department went towards buying hose, training books and a ladder. Chief Call told the council that if it were agreeable to them, the fire department would ask for matching funds to purchase a mini pumper also known as a quick attack truck. He explained to the council although the truck costs $20,000, the federal funds would cover $10,000 of that. He added the fire department already has $7,000 towards the purchase leaving $3,000 to be split between North Ogden and Pleasant View. Mayor McColley said he would get togethre with officials of Pleasant View on the matter.
