There is a voucher program for the Sanitation Department for the community for the use of dumpsters. Each voucher is good for two dumpsters. Dumpsters will be in White City September 15 thru 17. Vouchers for the Communities will be available for $5300 soon so will be able to go forth with our Township days.
  • Mayor Corroon talked about Budget. He feels we have hit the bottom of economic times and we should see gains. Budget balanced for 2009 but we will need to work the 2010 Budget. Telecommunication fund lost about $3 million and sales taxes were down. Interest income is way down. Property taxes are pretty stable but School District split may cause some increase. There will be a special Budget meeting on 27 august in the council chambers to explain Budget to residents. Looking at infrastructure in the unincorporated areas. Bonds or other ways as well as park improvement and regional parks. Wayne Johnson has met with Sparta Soccer people to see if the scheduling problems could be worked out. He feels the discussion should help the problem.

  • Sheriff’s Report-Brody Waldrum-Sent around Stats report. Bikes are now covering patrols in the area. Moses Fernandez, a Deputy, who was leading the bike patrol in the area, is leaving this month. Jeremy Christensen asks Brody to write up thoughts from the two deputies in the Sheriff’s office who visited to Bear Park last evening about the crowd and how the situation was handled. A discussion was held about a recent ABC-4 News report on crime in White City and it was noted that the Sheriff’s Office and Sandy City does not report to Crime Stats for crime in the area therefore the report they used was not accurate.
