Help Protect our Waterways
Roy City would like to offer a friendly reminder that the gutters and storm drains are for runoff waters only (sprinklers, rainwater, etc.). When you are mowing your lawns, please sweep up or use a blower to blow grass clippings and fertilizers that get onto the driveways, sidewalk, and gutters or streets back onto your own lawn. Grass clippings can plug the storm drains and cause flooding; they also decompose in our streams and pond and cause unnaturally high levels of nutrients that can harm aquatic wildlife. The Roy City storm water system runs through Meadow Creek Pond. This water is vital to the pond and must be kept clean. Please properly dispose of grass clippings, pet waste, paint fertilizers, tree leaves, seeds, etc., properly and help keep our city streets, as well as streams and rivers, clean. Please contact the Roy City Public Works Department to report violations at 801-774-1090. If it is after hours, please call Weber Dispatch at 801- 629-8221. Our current storm water ordinance is on our website at www.royutah.org.

Council's Corner
BY JAN BURRELL
This year, celebrating community and neighborhood spirit has required a new level of creativity and commitment to service. In a unique way, ROY DAYS will be observed with our families and limited close acquaintances, and with a dedication to remaining healthy and safe and helping others to do the same. Can we stay devoted to our city and the values that make Roy great? Of course! We do that by encouraging and supporting our city workers, by helping our neighbors, by being the positive and collaborative humans that bring us together as remarkable partners. Our city has always been a place of pride, hard work, and a willingness to work through difficult situations. I couldn’t be more proud to serve our citizens and our staff and remain focused on the grit that has been, and continues to be, the motto of our people during this unprecedented time. Roy City can only be as great as the folks who live here. I hope we continue to treat each other with respect and kindness, despite frustrating and difficult circumstances. You probably hear this often and may consider it trite, but we truly are in this TOGETHER!
City Council Meetings
This month's meeting will be available on YouTube. For those who wish to make comments, please email admin@royutah.org for a link to the Zoom chats.
