Public hearing to discuss the tax rate for the Weber Area Dispatch 911 and Emergency Services District. Chair Dearden, Chair of the Weber Area Dispatch 911 & Emergency Services District Board, stated that this item was on the tax approved by voters at the tax rate of 0.000387. The taxes are now diverted from the current municipalities to this special services district, and today’s item certifies the tax rate. The tax rate approved to start the district was 0.000331 and the tax rate suggested for approval at today’s public hearing was 0.000302. The commissioners emphasized that the tax had been paid to municipalities for the services and the municipalities had agreed to take that off their tax rate in each city. This tax rate, along with Weber County’s certified tax rate, is lower than expected because property values have increased. Debbie Mecham, Director of the Weber Area Dispatch 911 & Emergency Services District, had received telephone calls regarding this tax and the 911 telephone surcharge and wished to clarify that taxpayers were not being double taxed. She said that the district’s total budget was about $4.3 million and the amount that this tax supported was only about 54% of that entire amount; the 911 surcharge constituted the remaining. 4. Commissioner Cain moved to adjourn public hearings and reconvene the public meeting; Commissioner Bischoff seconded, all voting aye 5. Action on public hearings: F.2. - Public hearing on Zoning Petition ZP #09-2006 by Wolf creek Properties Commissioner Bischoff indicated the Commission’s intention to approve the rezone request by Wolf creek Properties to rezone property at approximately 3718 N. Wolf Creek Drive form CV-2 to CVR-1, from CV-2 to O-1 and from O-1 to CVR-1, and moved to direct staff to prepare the ordinance; Commissioner Cain seconded, all voting aye. F.3. - Public hearing to discuss the tax rate for the Weber Area Dispatch 911 and Emergency Services District Commissioner Cain moved to approve the certified tax rate of 0.000302 for the Weber Area Dispatch 911 and Emergency Services District; Commissioner Bischoff seconded, all vot5 tioner had rezoned the property to CV-2 and at that time entered into a Zoning Development with the County to allow them to build a condo hotel, however, the condo hotel was not a permitted use in that zone. To change or amend a zone it requires going through the zoning process and it invalidated that part of the Zoning Development Agreement that listed uses that were not allowed in the CV-2 zone. The best way to accomplish Wolf Creek’s goal was to go through this process of rezoning to CVR-1. Mr. Hamilton addressed the commissioners’ questions. The proposed building for this site is over the allowed height; it is proposed to be 44 ft. 9 inches. Neither zone accommodates the height Wolf Creek needs but both zones allow it as a conditional use. The CVR-1, as a permitted use, only allows 25 ft. height, the other zone has a permitted height of 35 ft. In similar cases in the past the county has reviewed the location of proposed buildings in the CVR-1 zone and because of the slope, has allowed the 25 ft. building height closer to the road with other buildings to not exceed 35 ft. towards the Pineview Reservoir. Mr. Hamilton stated that the Planning Commission unanimously Sonn approval of this item with the eats when the developer comes for site plan approval that the Planning Commission address the issue of height and that the developer not be held strictly to the architectural concepts. One of the concerns expressed by the public at the Planning Commission meeting was building height, however, the property has a slope and drops off to the east, thus the building will sit lower. Bob Dyer, Director of Planning & Development for Wolf Creek Properties, stated that they wished to build one 4-story condo hotel and the rezone request was only for that piece of ground where it would be located. He said that the CVR-1 allowed the condo hotel as a conditional use with a height greater than 25 ft. with approval by the Planning Commission. He displayed the 3-D drawings that had been shown at the Piastinig Commission including views from Wolf Lodge, Moose Hollow, Wolf Star, Worldmark, and from Wolf Creek Drive looking towards Snow Basin, stating that the 3-D drawings illustrated that the property was down the hillside and would have little to no impact. Mr. Dyer showed the area proposed to be rezoned to CVR-1 and two parcels (slightly more than a tenth of an acre) which zoning will simply be switched with each other because one of them would Note: Each Commission meeting is recorded on or audio tape, which is available to the public through the County Clerk's Office.

Deja Mitchell, the Eccles Community Art Center’s African movement instructor is enthusiastic about the Faces of Africa. She and her students will demonstrate dances, and then with the accompaniment of drummers, will present a communal dance. The public is invited to participate. Deja states, “Dance, music, and story are all an integral part of African tradition and culture. Traditionally, all ages of people take part in dance and song. The griots, or storytellers, were an important and revered part of the society. In this way, wh mythology, traition, and social ge have been shared and passed on since ancient time.” Deja continues, “The dances are as diverse as the land and people they come from. There are dances for the seasons, to help the crops grow and to bring rain, to tell the story of a peoples’ journeys to new land. There are dances to protect the people by appealing to divine power, and dances to demonstrate strength and warrior skill. There are dances for weddings, funerals, coming of age, for royalty, for when important people come to the village, and just to take a break from work and celebrate. Infused within the dances and movements are the experiences of the land and animals, the values of respect for the earth and ancestors, connection to higher power, routine duties of living, and acknowledging and celebrating a person’s community.” Starbucks will be serving African coffees: Kenya & Gazebo during the artist reception. Starbucks Coffee enjoys doing what they can to support local community events.

Julie Madsen, Michelle Martin, and Diane Ercanbrack belong to a small medical team who travel to the village of Ouelessebougou in Mali, West Africa to perform gynecological surgeries or women in Ouelessebougou and its surrounding villages. Madsen explains, women have no other medical resources. They need surgery for such things as fistulas and prolapsed uteruses. They are socially cast out of their villages because of these horrific problems. We must go and help them so they are able to return to their families and villages, and live life. This surgical expedition is self-funded. We must pay for our transportation, medical supplies, and medications needed to perform the necessary surgeries. We work 12 to 16 hour days in 100 degree weather. There are no running water or bathroom facilities. do we do it? Each year our surgical team departs for our journey to the village of Ouelessebougou; some of us on return trips, others experiencing Mali for the first time. For all of us, it is an incredible life changing experience. Living and working among the people of Ouelessebougou provides a rebirth of our souls. Our hearts are passionately opened to the women of Ouelessebougou and their families. We feel gifts of love, tenderness, empathy, respect, and honor for the humble and loving people of Ouelessebougou. For two weeks we become a part of their village. We learn many lessons as we serve one another, mostly lessons of love and gratitude. We are spiritually and physically connected. We need each other. We are women brought together from separate continents. We speak a different language but, together, we laugh, cry, and share. We are the same, and for this reason we find ourselves returning each year to help these beautiful women and children of Ouelessebougou.” Julie, Michelle, and Diane will be attending the artist reception and will be available to answer any questions about their time in Ouelessebougou and the medical mission.
