Apparently, there was; 83 adults and one baby—a standing room only crowd—packed the private school where the meeting was held, surprising members of the committee who hosted the meeting. Some abstained from voting, waiting for more information before making a decision. Eden Planning Committee Chair Steve Clarke stated in response to the crowds, “I’m very pleased that so many people came to express their feelings, and to learn about the issues.” Robert Fuller stated, “The large turnout of Eden residents is a symptom of the discontent the community feels with the current way the county is being governed. For instance, there is too much uncertainty in the zoning decisions that are being made.” Many at the meeting stated that they were not for or against incorporation but wanted to find out more information about the process, and the feasibility of incorporating. A question on the minds of many, “Would taxes be increased if Eden became a city?” After a question and answer, and comment session from the audience, a straw vote was taken. Of those attending, 43 voted to pursue an incorporation feasibility study for Eden; 9 voted to leave things the way they were; and no one voted for pursuing a township option. Before ending the meeting, the Eden Planning Committee asked for volunteers to sit on subcommittees that would move the process along. Approximately 50 volunteers signed up to participate in the process and were divided between six different committees. Clarke, stated, “Again, I am overwhelmed and pleased at the number of people who signed up to volunteer!” While the Eden Planning Committee facilitated the original meeting, members were abstaining from holding leadership positions on committees. Eden Planning Committee member Dick Manley stated, “As a committee, we want to remain outside of the process, maintaining our apolitical position. From here on, the process will be solely a com- munity effort.” On January 22, volunteers met and were given more information about the process of petitioning for a feasibility study from Weber County. Volunteers were then able to choose from the following committees to serve on: Boundaries, Government Structure, Business Forum, Eden 20/20, Services, and Outreach. These committees then selected a chair and co-chair. The chairs of each committee then organized to create a steering committee that will oversee and manage the process. Chuck Millet was voted to chair the Steering Committee at a meeting held January 25. The Incorporation Feasibility Study Steering Committee will host a public meeting for the community on Thursday, February 6, 2003 at Snowcrest Jr. High School. An open house will be held from 7:00 to 7:30 p.m., where Valley residents can visit with subcommittee members at different stations and discuss the activities and progress of their various efforts. Refreshments will be served. The general public meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m., where the process of pursuing an incorporation feasibility study will be further explained, and where residents can ask questions about the process. Residents will also be able to visit with individual committees, again, after the formal meeting. Volunteers are still welcome to participate in this civic process.
