Show Volume XVII Issue XV The Ogden Valley news Page January 15, 2010 Huntsville Town 2010— A message from Mayor Truett In 2010 Huntsville Town will be facing many issues, some of which are listed below: • The integrity of our roadways and funding their maintenance. • Preparing for the opening of the south side of our cemetery. • The restoration of our town maintenance shops. • Finding the best solution for the future of the Valley School property • Working with developers for positive growth that protects our heritage and way of life. • Potential annexation of property to influence positive growth. • Maintaining the high quality of our culinary water system. Huntsville’s approach to these and other issues will be met with positive thinking from our new administration. Town Council members are motivated by a willingness to work and be creative throughout their new assignments, and their enthusiasm and compassion will be shared by all. Our Planning Commission is committed to working together with the Town Council in achieving these goals with the same compassion and determination to do what is right for Huntsville and its citizens. Our Town Council agenda has been revised into a format that emphasizes all residents’ viewpoints being heard and responded to. During meetings, there will also be a Weber County Sherriff’s Office Report updating us with all of the activity going on, not just in Huntsville, but within the entire Valley. Our meetings will continue to be on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Huntsville Town Hall. Jim McKay has been Huntsville’s Mayor for the past 16 years, and has put in countless hours helping to make Huntsville such a great place to live. Huntsville thanks him and his family for all that they have contributed. Our number one priority is Huntsville Town and its citizens. With that said, we understand that we are an integral part of the greater Ogden Valley community, and we want to reach out to our neighbors in Eden and Liberty to show them our willingness to stand up for issues that concern all in Ogden Valley. Huntsville Town is currently writing a resolution in support of Representative Gage Froerer’s Bill for disincorporation of Power Mountain Town. The resolution will be presented at our Town Council Meeting on the January 21 at 7:00 p.m., then will be passed on to the state’s legislators and lobbyists. We will also attend the Legislative meetings at the State Capital to show support for this Bill in behalf of Huntsville and the entire Valley. We want to get to know our Weber County Commissioners better and be more involved with their work on mutually important issues by strengthening our relationship via a proactive, positive approach. Huntsville and the entire Valley have so many attributes and assets that define who and what we are as a community. We look forward to capitalizing on them by sharing ideas with all residents, working together and striving towards making this valley an even more wonderful place—a place we all call home.
