Saratoga Springs’ new fire chief By Emily Zimmer Thompson Staff Writer Saratoga Springs has a new fire chief, Jess Campbell, who hails from Las Vegas where he served for nearly 24 years in the fire service with Las Vegas Fire and Rescue. He retired there at the rank of Assistant Fire Chief. During his tenure in Las Vegas, Chief Campbell worked his way up through a promotional and testing process from the rank of Firefighter, to Firefighter/Paramedic, and Fire Captain, where he spent seven years as the Haz-Mat Captain. He tested again and was promoted to Fire Battalion Chief, and then later was appointed as Assistant Fire Chief. Chief Campbell is also a family man, happily married for over 31 years to his high school sweetheart,
Deanna. They have five children and seven grandchildren. Chief Campbell has a very diverse background and work experience. He worked as a fry cook in his youth. Then he learned auto body repair and painting, followed by becoming a heavy equipment mechanic and welder at the world’s largest rare earth deposit at Mt. Pass, California. Chief Campbell is also a self taught and accomplished wood worker and had his own custom woodworking and cabinet shop. He is still passionate about woodworking and hopes to continue working in that field, as well. In the fire industry Chief Campbell is known for having one of the industry’s best collaborative minds. He has developed projects and tools to help with public safety and incident management. He created the
Unified Command-Incident Management Teams and became the point of contact for the Department of Homeland Security for the Nevada State Teams III Incident Management Teams. He is certified and has been extended and accepted the invitation to be a PEER Assessor for the Commission on Fire Accreditation International. When he was asked, “What is the difference between here and Las Vegas?” He said, “You just have to do
Las Vegas Fire College for the personnel of Las Vegas Fire and Rescue to attain formal education credits and degrees. He developed the NIMSICS compliant, Southern Nevada
more with less here. I’m excited to be here and be part of this community.” Chief Campbell replaced Tim Hay, who went back to Kansas where he lived before coming here. Jerry Lund was interim chief for the past year, but has now taken back his former duties as fire captain. Saratoga Springs has had several fire chiefs since the tragic death of Chief Mike Penovich who died in a vehicle accident.
Neptune Park’s first phase to be finished in November
EM Youth Council setting the standard By Emily Zimmer Thompson Staff Writer In an era when youth are expected to excel in their early years if they strive to be successful later in life, the Eagle Mountain Youth Council is providing a way for willing youth to gain valuable experiences. Founded with the intent to give local youth an opportunity to serve their community, the EM Youth Council sets the standard for all young people in the area. Advisor Alicia Hill, of the EM public safety department, shares that applicants to the youth council should be "good representatives and willing to work together." Twice-monthly meetings are held for the council in which the youth and their advisors discuss ideas for helping to make the city better. Some of the previous events that the youth have been involved with are helping Santa on the fire truck, planning the Valentines Dance for the adults, and sponsoring the youth dance. In addition to the special events that the youth council members help with, the main responsibility in helping the community each year is being very involved with Pony Express Days, particularly in helping with the parking assignments. In the upcoming holiday season, the youth council will be decorating and donating a tree to The Festival of Trees, which benefits Pri-
mary Children's Medical Center. The youth of the council will be working with the youth from the city's Exceptional Kids Program, a program that assists resident children who have special needs. The representatives will be spending time with the children in the program to make some of the ornaments that will used to decorate the tree. The council is composed of approximately 50 youth, with around 15 in attendance at each meeting. Hill indicated that during the school year when sports and other clubs keep the youth occupied in the hours after school, less youth are able to attend the bi-monthly meetings. However, she noted that they have full participation from their council members at the activities sponsored by the youth council. Hill, who is the group's advisor along with her husband Bob Hill, appreciates the effort that is expended by the youth towards the programs with which they become involved. She is also impressed by the skills they exhibit during the events that they are exclusively responsible for managing. Perhaps many of the management skills that the youth learn are gained by attending the yearly retreat which is held for all of the members in good standing. The group is allowed to attend a multiple-day retreat in which they learn important lessons and practice the skills which they will be called upon to use during the following year as they serve their community.
At the retreat, the representatives are taught leadership skills, and given the opportunities to work together. Most importantly, states Hill, the youth "learn to accept others and to be welcoming to all other youth, despite their personal circumstances." Another item that is an essential part of the retreat is to elect and vote upon the next council presidency. In addition to the leadership opportunities available to the members, Hill relates that the experience looks great on job and college applications. It is her hope that any youth who are interested in serving on the council, will take the opportunity to apply and become involved. The council is open to all youth between the ages of 14-18, in grades 9-12. It should be noted that the council is not limited to youth who live in Eagle Mountain alone. Representatives are also sought and welcome from the surrounding cities of Saratoga Springs, Cedar Fort, White Hills and Fairfield. There is no cost to be a member, and the youth are given T-shirts which they wear at each event to identify them as members. Applications can be found on the city website under the Elected Officials tab, and then by clicking on the Youth Council tab. Meetings are held for the council two times a month, on the first and third Wednesdays at 3:30 in the EM City Hall offices. The meetings generally last about an hour and a half.

Residents of Saratoga Springs will soon have the opportunity to experience a whole new type of park. Located in the Sierra Estates Subdivision, Neptune Park's first phase is projected to be finished by early November. The ten-acre park, which has been under construction since June, will be unlike any other park in the area. Entelen DesignBuild, LLC is the company that has been working on completing the first phase. The City Council chose the name "Neptune Park" because of the extremely large dome-like play equipment that is just one of the highlights of the park. Mark Edwards, the city's capital facilities manager, talking about the equipment, states, "This will be the first of its type and size in the western hemisphere. The Neptune XXL will be one of the many ‘out of the box’ type play structures built in this park." He continues, "The uniqueness of this park goes beyond the play ground equipment, from the modern
lighting to an outdoor civic events area that will include a raised stage with a shade sail to the amenities one would expect in a large park like restrooms and large pavilions to a basketball court that has turned out to be one of the most important elements to the park." After the park plans were approved, the city contacted Patti Balli, who is the director of community relations for the Utah Jazz, hoping to get some grant money to put towards the building of the park. She was immediately enthusiastic about the proposed ideas and the Jazz organization has since donated $25,000 for the project. The park's basketball courts will now carry the new Jazz logo. According to Edwards, "The concrete court was built with post tension construction methods and is scheduled to be painted the first of next week. The court is sized for regulation play from end to end, but is also designed to accommodate multiple half court games with six basketball hoops in all. The four side standards will be adjustable for future league play for the younger players.

Trick or Treat Village By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer
On October 29 Eagle Mountain will be hosting its first annual Trick or Treat Village from 12 p.m. until 4 p.m. in Nolan Park. The event promises a lot of fun and thrills and will include a "village" where local businesses will showcase their wares and will give out candy to the area's trickor-treaters. There will also be a pie contest, a pet costume contest (hosted by Eagle Mountain's own Friends in Need animal rescue), and the promise of creepy crawly critters that the little monsters in your life will get a kick out of seeing. According to Angie Ferre, Eagle Mountain's special events coordinator, "We are trying to do more events for the children in our area. We thought this would be a fun new activity for our community." Local schools are also getting the opportunity to get involved. There is going to be a scarecrow decorating contest that all Eagle Mountain school can participate in, the winner of which will receive a $500 dollar
gift certificate from Lehi's Partyland. Besides all the fun, the event will also combine with the Utah County Health Department in encouraging residents to "Clean out the cabinet" a program that encourages residents to collect all unused and expired prescription drugs, or over-the-counter drugs, and dispose of them in a safe, and designated location, which in this case will the Sheriff's office tent located at the park. Area schools will also be able to win extra points towards the Partyland gift certificate for each bottle that they bring to the sheriff's tent. Support of the event will help other good causes as well. States Ferre, "We have some local charitable organizations involved, like the Cupcake Charity and the Friends-in-Need animal rescue, so beyond providing entertainment, there are opportunities to support some worthwhile causes in the community." Those interested in finding out more about the Trick or Treat village can find information on the city's website, www.eaglemountaincity.com.
Letter to the editor The Crossroads Journal printed an article on October 6, 2011 that generated a great deal of interest titled “A lesson in law: Can a City Council remove a justice court judge?” Jennifer Klingonsmith reported that two candidates, Ryan Peltekian and Lorin Pratt, said Judge Stoney should be removed for being harsh. I asked both candidates if Judge Stoney should be removed for being harsh. They both said "No, he should be removed for trampling on the citizens rights." Both Judges Low and Laycock ruled in lengthy findings that Stoney/the City of Saratoga Springs had violated citizens’ constitutional rights and committed multiple improprieties. Below is a little more information on the details and statutes of dissolving a court. In addition, the Utah Code sections that Klingonsmith mentioned are available at www.voterinfo.info as well as further discussion on these issues. So, what role does the judiciary play in ensuring our freedom? Judge Thomas Low, Utah fourth District Court judge, quoted Thomas Jefferson and other great thinkers and instructed a jury to “remember that they, the jury, were more important than him.” He also said “a jury is the ‘firewall’ that protects the citizens.” If a jury is important, what about a judge? So important is it to keep a judge free from city leaders' pressure that may compromise his decisions that a firewall is also placed around him. But what happens when a judge needs to be removed and the city leaders do nothing? Is it possible for the people to get past that firewall? Every six years there is a retention vote. Saratoga Springs voted Judge Stoney out, but other cities in the county were unaware of his abuse and he was retained. As I called more authorities, Paul Vance at the Fourth District Court, sent me to Rick Schwermer, assistant Utah court administrator. He said it was his understanding that the Saratoga Springs City Council was very supportive of Judge Keith Stoney. If our City Council is supportive, not only will Keith Stoney remain on the bench, but he will continue
exactly as he has been doing. In light of the difficulty involved in removing a judge it might be better to ask “How carefully did our city council consider his appointment?' Why would he throw a woman in jail for using her cell phone in court? Why would a higher court find Stoney's action in jailing that woman improper and a breach of due process? Who pays for such errors when lawsuits are filed? Klingonsmith also said her research on Utah Code Title 78 Chapter 7 subsection 207 leads her to conclude that Judge Stoney must be paid his full salary through 2016 even if the justice court is dissolved. Constitutional lawyer Jerry Salcido said that his initial impression is that the code Klingonsmith is quoting has to do with a continuing court and does not address what happens if the court is shut down. He also noted a private contract between the city and Stoney may be an issue as well. Klingonsmith also asks the million dollar question,"Could we ever do without the court?" She then answers it: "No." Why? Because the cases would then be sent to the district court. However, Spencer Kyle, Saratoga Springs assistant city manager is quoted, saying, “The district court would most likely refuse the cases, thus forcing Saratoga Springs to contract with another city's justice court for services." However, the Fourth District Court in American Fork said class A crimes would be tried in the American Fork court and class B and class C crimes would be tried by Utah County. I called Paul Vance at the Fourth District Court in Provo and he opened the statute and verified what the American Fork court had said. "Can the A.F court or the county refuse those cases?" I asked. "Nope," he said. "It is statutory." Private citizens approached an independently wealthy law professor of constitutional law regarding taking over the Saratoga Springs justice court and he has said that if his terms were met he would be the judge for Saratoga Springs without salary as a service to the principles of freedom.

SS City Council Notes By Jennifer Klingonsmith Staff Writer
October 4, 2011 The City Council meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. Those present included Bud Poduska, Jim Miller, Michael McOmber, Cecil Tuley, Brent Call, Mayor Mia Love and city staff. Public comment A representative from Team Veteran presented a Statue of Responsibility. He said he hoped to see his program in local schools soon. Resident Rebecca Call stood in behalf of Neil Bryce (of Bryce Media) to thank the City Council for working with TV Saratoga. After public comment, Mayor Mia Love swore in Saratoga Springs’ new fire chief, Jess Campbell. Previous to his appointment, Campbell had worked in Las Vegas as assistant fire chief. He comes to Saratoga Springs with 24 years of fire-fighting experience. Policy session Resolution R11-33 (10-4-11): A res-
olution appointing Jess Campbell as the fire chief for the City of Saratoga Springs. The resolution was unanimously approved. Consent calendar Councilman Cecil Tuley asked that city vehicles be maintained and repaired whenever possible within city limits to support local businesses. City Manager Mark Christensen stated that he would look into having repairs done locally, but that the city always tried to get the best value. The consent calendar was unanimously approved. Resolution R11-36 (10-4-11): A resolution appointing members to the Citizen Finance Committee and establishing an effective date. Finance Committee member Stephen Wilden reported that one member had moved and another had been deployed to Afghanistan. His committee proposed that alternate member David Funk becomes a permanent member. Kevin McMillian and Lincoln Pead were asked to be the new alternate members. All have strong economic backgrounds,

Wilden concluded. The new members were unanimously approved. Vehicle purchase approval (landscape truck) City staff reported that this purchase had been budgeted for this fiscal year. Two bids were received and the bid was awarded to Wasatch Isuzu. The lease agreement allowed the city to own the vehicle after four years. The purchase was unanimously approved. Capitol Lease contract for public works equipment City staff reported that this contract included the purchase of an RTV, two mowers, and a Ford Ranger truck. The city received an excellent lease rate of 2.4 percent over four years. Councilman Micheal McOmber noted that the city was purchasing this equipment because it was needed for the many parks that are currently under construction. The contract was unanimously approved. Resolution R11-34 (10-4-11): A resolution to recertify the Saratoga Springs Justice Court. Resolution R11-35 (10-4-11): A resolution regarding the temporary appointment of justice court judges. Christensen reported that court recertification was something the city was required to do every four years. He also noted that the city needed an ordinance allowing a temporary judge should Judge Keith Stoney be ill, at a conference, or unable to perform his duties. A temporary judge would only
be allowed to rule in the justice court for 30 days at a time. Mayor Love stated that the recertification ordinance had nothing to do with Judge Stoney’s term—as voters approve that every six years. She stressed that addressing legal issues locally is good. Independence is better than dependence on courts elsewhere, she concluded. Resolutions R11-34 and R1135 were unanimously approved. Discussion of the Parks, Recreation, Trails, and Open Space Master Plan A consultant from Landmark Design gave a presentation on the results of a study of the long-term park and open space needs of Saratoga Springs. She reviewed projected population growth, resident priorities (as demonstrated in a recent survey) and a long-term plan and cost analysis of improvements. Landmark Design stated that the current population was 17,700 people. In 2030, that number would increase to 70,000, and in 2050 the population was projected at 94,000. The consultant reported that 95 percent of residents own their own home. She also described the majority of residents as being between 25 and 44 years of age and living in neighborhoods with HOAs. The average household contained 4.65 people. Landmark Design reported that the parks survey was successful, with over 20 percent of surveys returned. Because of the high return rate, she thought the city had received an accurate picture of what residents like and dislike about city parks and what they would like to see more of in the future. The consultant stated that residents most enjoyed playgrounds, sports fields and trees in parks. The
city currently has 80 acres of developed parks. To keep the ratio of residents to acreage of parks unchanged, the city would need to have 311 acres of park space by 2030. She recommended the city do less pocket parks (those less than an acre in size) and keep all new parks to a minimum of 20 acres. When residents were asked about what recreation activities they most wanted in the city, residents listed swimming, aerobics and dance at the top of their lists. They also desired a recreation center, a pool, water park and interconnected trails. Landmark Design suggested the city have three long-term recreation goals. Those included setting aside land for future open areas, connecting current trails, and planning for a future pool/recreation center. The price for all these improvements? Landmark Design estimated the city would have to spend $47 million for parks and open space improvement through 2040. The consultant discouraged building an aquatic center (with an estimated price tag of $35 million) until the population reached 40,000 people. If the city wished to build a pool sooner, the consultant suggested partnering with a private entity to share the cost. Mayor Love pointed out that the Lehi Legacy Center almost always ran in the red and needed subsidies to keep the facility open and running. Assistant City Manager noted that it was important for the City Council to determine the level of service the city wanted to provide its residents, as the service level determines impact fees. The meeting then entered into closed session.

EM City Council Notes By Michelle Vongphakdy Staff Writer October 4, 2011 The Eagle Mountain City Council meeting was called to order at 7:05 PM. Those present at the meeting include Donna Burnham, Jon Celaya, Nathan Ochsenhirt, John Painter, Ryan Ireland, Mayor Heather Jackson and city staff. Information items and upcoming events Road work on Pony Express Parkway from Bobby Wren Boulevard to MidValley Park will continue until mid- to late November while a sewer line that is being installed. Traffic is limited to one lane during the construction. Please use caution while driving through the area. There will be an electronics recycling collection event on Saturday October 15 from 9:00 a.m. to noon at Smith Ranch Park (by Pony Express Elementary) and from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Public Works building (2545 N. Pony Express Parkway). A picture ID and utility bill are required for proof of residency. For a list of fees see the city website. A Trick or Treat Village will be held on Saturday October 29 from noon to 4:00 p.m. at Nolan Park. Vendor applications are being accepted. See the city website for more details. Public comments Several residents of the Pioneer subdivision voiced both support and disapproval for the proposed opening of the budget to consider adding improvements to their neighborhood park. A couple of residents are opposed to the HOA donating funds to the city. They claim that the comingling of funds may present legal
issues and goes against their CC&Rs. Other residents support using the funds to help improve the city and their neighborhood and state that there is no other playground within walking distance of their homes. City Council/ Mayor's items Donna Burnham said that she has received several complaints about the traffic light at the construction site on Pony Express Parkway. It is timed equally in both directions, which isn't efficient especially during rush hour when traffic is heavier in one direction than the other. Chris Trusty, city engineer, responded. He said that he has asked inspectors to talk to the contractors about adjusting the timing on the light. He noted, however, that the light has to be adjusted manually and may require multiple adjustments each day. He is still waiting to hear back from inspectors. Policy items Consent agenda The consent agenda was unanimously approved. Public hearing Ordinance - Consideration and adoption of an ordinance of the City Council of Eagle Mountain City, Utah, amending Section 16.35 Development Standards for Required Public Facilities. In an effort to encourage developers to complete neighborhood parks that meet the needs of the residents, the City Council has proposed an amendment to the City Code that would allow developers flexibility in design while requiring certain amenities such as garbage receptacles, picnic tables and shade structures. The amendment would also increase the fee-in-lieu to $5.75 per square foot and adjust the timing of the fees as an incentive to developers to complete
the neighborhood parks. Councilman Ryan Ireland asked if Steve Mumford, the planning director, had received any feedback from the Planning Commission regarding the City Council's feedback and concerns. Mumford responded that their only concern was whether or not the fee-in-lieu was fair and consistent with what other cities are charging. Mayor Jackson noted that the city strongly encourages developers to put in their own park rather than paying a fee-in-lieu. Nathan Ochsenhirt voiced concern that the 100 percent payment of the fee-in-lieu at the time of recording (for subdivisions with only one phase) may be too restrictive. He asked whether the Planning Commission had heard any feedback from developers regarding the issue. Mumford said there haven't been any comments so far. Resident Lee Morrison asked whether a bond covers developers who go bankrupt before completing their contracted parks. Mayor Jackson said that while a bond covers public property, private property (such as that owned by an HOA) cannot be bonded. Chris Trusty added that oftentimes bonds are illegally dropped and that it is very difficult and time consuming to go after the contractor when this happens. The ordinance was unanimously approved. Motion - Consideration of request to schedule a public hearing to amend the Capital Projects Fund and amend the fiscal year 2011-2012 budget. The City Council is considering opening the budget to include funding from the Capital Projects Fund to pay for playground equipment and development of the Pioneer neighbor-
hood park, as requested by the Pioneer HOA. The Parks and Recreation Board has reviewed the proposal, along with supporting information and bids. They recommend waiting to consider funding of the improvements with the 2012-2013 fiscal year budget. John Hendrickson, the city administrator, noted that there are several legal concerns with the bid submitted by the HOA. Donna Burnham said that there are other considerations for opening the budget besides the bid, namely that donated HOA funds may not be available if the City opts to wait until next year. Burnham also noted that if they proceed now, the playground could be in the ground and ready to use sooner. Koki and Marion Kline, residents of the Pioneer subdivision, presented the Pioneer park proposal, which compared the neighborhood park to other large parks in the city, including Nolan Park. Councilman Jon Celaya praised the couple for their wellresearched efforts and assured them that it won't be wasted, regardless of whether or not the motion passes. He said, however, that he doesn't understand why the project can't wait until next year. The Pioneer HOA voted to hold the funds until the end of 2011 and one of the companies they have been working with has offered to discount any work done before the end of the year. Currently, Pioneer Park is fourth in priority on a list of park improvements that the city is planning. It is scheduled to be completed after improvements to Walden Park, MidValley Park and Eagle Point neighborhood park. The Council may decide to rearrange priority, however, due to the additional funds from the HOA. The motion was rejected with John Painter, Ryan Ireland and Jon Celaya opposing. Donna Burnham left the meet-

76 6-8 200 ing at 8:00 p.m. Bid Award - Consideration and award of bid to Terra Works for tree landscaping. Terra Works bid $25,000 for the completion of improvements to Smith Ranch Park. The city has allocated $18,000 for the project, including approximately $4,100 that was used to pre-purchase trees. Chris Trusty, the city engineer, recommended removing the installation of trees and shrubs from the bid and awarding the bid in the amount of $16,854.90 for installation of rock mulch, irrigation and curbing. Trees, flowers and shrubs could then be installed by the city. Nathan Ochsenhirt expressed concerns about planting maple trees, which do not typically grow well in Eagle Mountain. Hendrickson said that the species they purchased are a very hardy variety and should thrive well here. Trusty added the trees have a warranty on them. The bid was unanimously approved for $16,854.90. The meeting was adjourned at 8:23 p.m.
