• Kay Dickerson made a motion to add the Sheriff's report to the agenda. Seconded and approved.
• Brody Waldrum gave the Sheriff's report. Brody discussed the crosswalk at 9400 S and Poppy going North and South is Sandy City's responsibility. We need to be concerned about mail deliveries in White City because there have been a number of thefts of checks in the mailboxes both outgoing and in coming mail. We need to be cautious about putting these items in unsecure mailboxes and leaving them unattended. There has been some graffiti at well sites on Serpentine. We need to call in any tagging if we see it in the area. They are trying to coordinate with Sandy on some of the drug dealing going on in the area. Had a discussion about the cars not having the White City Township logo on them. Brody said he would check on our concern.
• Bev Uipi gave the Mayor's report. The Mayor wants to thank everyone on their support. A reminder that during this winter cars will be ticketed if on the streets at night during snowstorms that would hinder snow removal or create hazards for the plows. Not much to report with the Elections going on. Thanked everyone for the support in her job.
• Kay Dickerson gave a report on the election for 2008. Concerns about the voting areas not being at a polling place in their own precincts'. Voter turnout would have been better if voters were voting in areas were they normally vote rather that at other areas. Winners were the following: District 2 Ralph Cooley, District 6 Paul Smith, and At-Large Don Patocka. Gene Robinson made a motion to accept the election report. Seconded and approved.
• Paulina Flint gave a report on HB-40. Gave the secretary a copy of the final report for the record on the survey. She discussed the Legislative Dinner coming up. We need to let our representatives know our concerns and let them help.
• Greg Schultz gave a report on ACCT. Asked County to make technical corrections to Codes to better clarify for the average person. Area code overlays need to be worked within communities. Budget is out and is under review. Greg will get a copy of the line items on the budget. There is a hiring freeze within the County. Cities need to stay out of the business of Townships and let Townships work out their own business and planning. The school district split will affect Townships. Need to keep aware of budget planning and future taxes with the increase in Townships and unified services.
• New Business. Paulina discussed Township Days and if we want one next year. It was decided that we still want one next year. On January 10 there will be a training meeting for ACCT at the County offices. What do we suggest needs to be presented at this meeting? How about something in the Planning and Zoning area in depth training?
• Max Burdick was at the meeting and said thanks.
• Motion was made by Paul Smith to adjourn, motion carried.
