High-density housing issue to be on November ballot By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer
Residents of Saratoga Springs recently proved that the people can have a voice when a self-titled group, “Neighbors Against Density Abuse” or NADA, went to work getting enough signatures to require a vote this November on City Councilapproved high density housing. This particular city-growth issue was raised when a multihouse development was planned by Capital Assets Financial Services on land close to the Talon’s Cove golf course. Residents of the area had not been aware that multi-family housing would be part of the neighborhood and
have spent many hours fighting the development. Such fights have included showing up in large numbers to City Council meetings, emailing city leaders, and filing a legal case against the city. For now the development is on hold and will be until the residents have a chance to vote on the issue in the November election. To get this item on the ballot, NADA had to collect 2,309 signatures from residents of Saratoga Springs that are registered voters. NADA spread throughout the city to collect over 3,000 signatures, which have been certified by Utah County and the City of Saratoga Springs. Now the issue will rest with voters in the November election.

SS Polar Plunge 2013
SS officer receives commendation By LeeAnn Bohman Staff Writer
A Saratoga Springs Police Officer, Jason Ruch, was recently commended at a City Council meeting for helping to apprehend theft suspects. According to the commendation, “On December 30, 2012 at approximately 00:10 three shoplifting suspects were in Wal-Mart committing a crime. The same suspects have committed two other previous crimes at Wal-Mart and at several other Wal-Mart Locations in Utah and Salt Lake County dating back to January of 2012. The suspects have been so brazen as to have climbed over secured fences with duffle bags full of stolen property and onto facility rooftops to re-position CCTV cameras. Up to this point this organized group has managed to not be identified or apprehended.” It continues, “On the above date an alert overnight manager observed the activities of the three suspects while they were concealing large quantities of T-Mobile prepaid phones into a storage chest. The manager recognized the suspects from prior alerts our department has posted. He decided to deter the potential theft by paging a
security alert overhead and posting an associate at the front doors. The deterrence seemed to be successful. All three suspects abandoned their criminal activity and fled WalMart.” Officer Ruch happened to be shopping at that Wal-Mart when the announcement was made, and although he was off-duty, he exited and went to his vehicle, when he “observed three individuals wearing hooded sweatshirts exit Wal-Mart at a hurried pace. Officer Ruch acted on a hunch and recovered the plate information from the vehicle which was located towards the end of the east parking lot out of camera view.” He gave the information from the license plate to the manager of the store. The three suspects, after investigation, were found to be the individuals responsible for the previous incidents. It is reported that “the plate information recovered by Officer Ruch is the missing clue that will help crack this case. With arrests and charges pending, Detective Stidham, who has been working diligently on this case, will now be able to bring closure and justice.” The department was thanked for “their diligence and dedication.”

By Cpl. Shane Taylor, PIO The Saratoga Springs Police Department handled 367 reported incidents for the month of January, including 27 reported traffic accidents. The investigations division has been working 110 active cases during the month of January. Case sampling for January, 2013: Criminal mischief A Saratoga Springs resident notified the police department when a bomb ignited in her garage. The responding officer learned the resident could smell a strange odor in her garage and her throat was burning. The victim was evacuated immediately. The investigation revealed four to five juveniles running from the home prior to the loud noise, which sounded like a shotgun shell being fired from a gun. The investigators noticed a lingering odor and substance which appeared to be green in color and it was described to have a distinct smell like ammonia. There were wadded up pieces of tinfoil and green substance spread throughout the garage. The investigators located parts of plastic soda bottles. All the ingredients found in the garage are consistent to the makeup of a chemical bomb. The resident and her family were extremely fortunate, none of them sustained any injuries from the explosion and the property damage was minimal. The assigned investigators take these types of crimes very serious and this case is being pursued very aggressively to identify the person(s) responsible. DUI An officer from Saratoga Springs was patrolling in the business district when he noticed a vehicle drive into a parking strip and over landscaping rocks. The vehicle continued down the landscaped area, almost hitting a fire hydrant. The officer stopped the vehicle and made contact with the driver. The officer noticed several indicators of intoxication, including a strong smell of an alcoholic beverage coming from the inside of the vehicle.
The officer, during his traffic investigation, administered field sobriety tests and it was determined by the test results the driver was impaired to the degree of not being able to operate a motor vehicle safely. The driver was placed under arrest for driving under the influence and taken to the police department for a chemical test. The breath test showed the driver was well over the legal limit. The driver was taken to the Utah County jail for processing. Formal charges have been filed with the Saratoga Springs Justice Court. Drugs A concerned mother came home earlier from work and found her son downstairs. She smelled an odor that resembled marijuana. The mother asked her son if he had been smoking marijuana. The son denied smoking anything. The mother pressed the issue until her son relented and admitted to smoking marijuana. The son went to a closet and picked up two tinfoil packages containing small amounts of marijuana. The mother was completely upset with her son so she transported him to the police department, where she spoke with an officer. The drugs were confiscated and the son was issued a citation for possession of a controlled substance. The son signed the citation with the promise to appear in the Fourth District Juvenile Court. Weapons offense A Saratoga Springs officer responded to a suspicious circumstance where a homeowner found what appeared to be bullet holes in his outdoor shed and cinder block wall. The officer found a total of eight bullet holes in the shed and cinder block wall. One of the bullets were recovered and collected for future comparisons. It was determined the rounds were fired sometime during New Years Eve. This case has been turned over to the Saratoga Springs detectives for further investigation. Criminal mischief A Saratoga Springs officer responded to the report of graffiti on the side of a vehicle. The graffiti spelled out very obscene words with inappropriate drawings. Photographs were taken of the scene. This case has been turned over to detectives for further investigation.

SS City Council Notes By Jennifer Klingonsmith Staff Writer
February 5, 2013 The City Council meeting began at 6 p.m. Those present included Bud Poduska, Michael McOmber, Jim Miller, Shellie Baertsch, Rebecca Call, Mayor Mia Love, and city staff. Public comment A Harvest Hills resident thanked council members for encouraging the handsome architectural details on a recently opened tae kwon do studio on Harvest Hills Boulevard. She hoped surrounding commercial areas would be developed in a similar fashion. She also thanked city staff for its efforts in procuring permission for a pedestrian canal crossing for Riverview Elementary students. She acknowledged that the agreement between the city and the canal company was a long time in coming. Policy items Consent calendar The consent calendar was unanimously approved, with Section B removed. Public hearing: Budget amendment for fiscal year 2012-2013. City staff reported that at the end of Fiscal Year 2011-2012, there was an overage of $600,000 in funds. Staff recommended spending some of those funds on the following items: hiring a new public relations employee, buying additional software, and making adjustments to the servers and firewalls in the public works building. The remaining funds would be deposited in the capital projects fund.
The budget amendment was unanimously approved. Proposed concept plan for Sugar Plumb, located at approximately 4300 South Redwood Road, Paul Watson, applicant. City staff reported that the R-2zoned development was south of Lake Mountain Estates and would contain 99 lots. She noted that the plan included a debris basin, as well as a storm drain retention pond. These improvements would protect homes should there ever be another wild fire and subsequent burn scar above the development. Staff expressed concern about the number of driveways on the main collector road that ran through the development. Councilman Michael McOmber suggested some of those driveways be loop driveways so that cars would not be backing onto the busy road. Councilwoman Rebecca Call complimented the developer on the large 14,000 to 20,000 square-foot lots and the trail that connected Sugar Plumb with an adjoining development. Councilwoman Shellie Baertsch asked that the development agreement reflect the council’s desire that cars coming out of driveways all be facing forward on the collector road. No action was taken on this development, as it was a concept plan. Police department awards and commendations Police Chief Gary Hicken presented Officer Zachary Beglarian with the Lifesaving Award. Beglarian earned this award for superior judgment and professionalism when responding to a medical call for serv-
ice in the wee hours of Christmas morning, 2012. When Officer Beglarian arrived at the residence, he found the patient unconscious, not breathing and with no pulse. He learned that medical personnel were delayed because of a snowstorm. Beglarian then began CPR and continued for over ten minutes. Because of his efforts, the patient was resuscitated and breathing on his own with a pulse. The police chief and the City Council congratulated Beglarian on his award and outstanding service. Resolution R-13-4 (2-5-13): A resolution adopting City Council Bylaws, Rules of Order, and Procedures. City Attorney Kevin Thurman reviewed some of the topics covered in the proposed changes. Those included who can put items on the agenda, removing the requirement of fining a City Council member who is out of order at a meeting, and the number of council members needed to remove a fellow council member from a meeting (three). The changes were unanimously approved. Reports Mayor Mia Love reported that she had been up at the State Capitol, lobbying to get the maximum amount of city reserves bumped from 18 percent to 25 percent. She also noted that the men charged with accidentally starting the Dump Fire were given $5,000 fines. She commented that the fines seemed small in comparison to the damage done, especially when considering the subsequent mudslide last September.
McOmber noted that the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) had divided the local district, and that Saratoga Springs was now a part of the “Porter Rockwell District.” McOmber had recently been asked to be a part of the BSA nominating board for a new district leader. Call reported on the Jordan
River Commission. She noted that the commission had recently received a grant to better inform developers about buffering between developments and sensitive lands, managing invasive species, and mitigating developments’ impact on the environment. The meeting then entered into closed session.

EM City Council Notes By Danielle Palmer Staff Writer
February 5, 2013 Eagle Mountain City Council held the scheduled policy session on February 5, 2013.Their earlier work session went overtime, and the policy session did not begin until 7:47 p.m. After announcing the upcoming city events, Mayer Jackson expressed her apologies for their lateness. Council member Painter was absent. Announcements: Be aware of city policies for parking on the streets during the winter to make way for snowplows. No public comments or City Council member comments were made. Consent agenda Council member Ochsenhirt moved to approve the consent agenda, including minutes from City Council meetings in January. Council member Steinkopf seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Resolution accepting the Camp W.G. Williams Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) Final Report and endorsing and supporting the strategies therein as recommended by Camp Williams JLUS Policy Committee The JLUS is a joint effort between the cities of Bluffdale, Eagle Mountain, Herriman, Lehi, and Saratoga Springs, and Utah and Salt Lake County and Camp Williams, in an effort to guide planning and development in local governments surrounding Camp Williams. The study contains recommended strategies to deal with compatibility issues between the base and surrounding communities. It is not a regulatory document. Ochsenhirt moved to accept the resolution and Steinkopf seconded his motion. The motion carried by unanimous vote. Motion to classify a “Settlement Agreement” under the Provisions of Title 63G-2-305 as a “Protected Record.” This was removed from the agenda. Consideration and approval of the said “Settlement Agreement.” The administration has negotiated a settlement agreement as discussed in a closed session held by the City Council. The agreement should be classified as a protected record under the statute cited in the motion. Ireland moved to table the recommendation to a following City Council meeting for further discussion. Council member Burnham seconded the motion. Ochsenhirt then stated the motion was a significant movement in need of action soon, and he
wanted to clarify that by tabling the motion there would be the understanding that it is for concern and prudence. The council is not trying to delay the motion, but would like to have full clarity on the details. He and Ireland asked Ifo Pili if it would be possible to allow for more detail and further action over the next couple of weeks. Pili answered that he could not appropriately discuss the details in an open session. Ochsenhirt moved to adjourn to a closed session for further discussion of the item at hand. Steinkopf seconded the motion. Council member Ireland and Council member Burnham voted no. Council member Steinkopf and Ochsenhirt voted yes. Mayor Jackson broke the tie vote by voting yes, and the meeting was immediately adjourned to a closed session at 7:58 p.m. The meeting reconvened at about 8:50 p.m and Burnham immediately motioned to not approve the agreement, and Ireland seconded her motion. Council members Ochsenhirt and Steinkopf voted no, Burnham and Ireland voted yes, and Mayor Jackson broke the tie with a no vote. The motion failed and Ochsenhirt moved to approve the agreement and Steinkopf seconded the motion. Ireland voted no, Council member Ochsenhirt and Steinkopf voted yes, Council member Burnham voted no, and to break the tie Mayor Jackson voted yes. The motion carried and the agreement was approved. Ochsenhirt commented on the board reports stating that they met as a board and discussed ICSC and discussed someone attending. They
will have more information in a couple of weeks. He also wanted to express as a witness that the actions taken during this meeting were discussed thoroughly as far as they could with the information they had. It was a significant trial to find the balance between personal thoughts and commitment and obligation to the city and judiciary duty. He hoped the agreement will mend things that were broken and they can move forward in a positive light. Council member Steinkopf also agreed it was a very difficult decision to make but that he felt the action was what was best for the city. There were no other comments and after a motion to adjourn, the meeting was adjourned at about 8:55 p.m. After the meeting it was released via the city Facebook page that the approved settlement agreement with Cedar Valley Water was over litigation stemming from a contract that was memorialized in 2000. The dispute has been long standing, initiated in 2002, and the city has finally come to a resolution. They want city residents to know the city is prepared to cover the costs of this agreement without having increased rates or taxes so residents will not be impacted. To view further details of the settlement agreement, go online to the city website under Government Transparency, City Contracts/Bids Awarded. Video and audio recordings of all City Council meetings can now be found online at the city website. Be sure to check it out, as some details may not be included in these Crossroads articles.

If you are looking for a new Sunday dinner favorite, this might be it. A tender cut of pork takes on a savory twist with paprika, oregano, and garlic. But the piece de résistance is the yummy, super easy red pepper pesto sauce served with the pork. I could eat it by the spoonful! Pairs nicely with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. 5 cloves garlic, cut into thin slivers 1 Tbsp. oregano 2 tsp. paprika 2-lb. pork tenderloin
5 Tbsp. olive oil, divided 6 large red sweet peppers, cut into wedges 2 large onions, cut into wedges 4 additional garlic cloves, whole
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, toss pepper and onion wedges and the 4 whole garlic cloves with 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Spread the mixture evenly on a large, greased cookie sheet. Set aside. 2. In a small bowl, combine oregano, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Brush pork with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Rub spices on pork, then gently press garlic slivers on roast. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan (a broiler pan works well). 3. Place pork on top rack on one side of oven, place vegetables on lower rack on the opposite side. Both racks should be as
close to the middle of the oven as possible for even browning. 4. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 degrees in the center of the roast. 5. Stir vegetables once during cooking time. Vegetables are done when soft and lightly browned (about 35-40 minutes) 6. Cover meat with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, remove half of the roasted red pepper wedges and the whole garlic cloves and set them in a blender or food processor. Keep the remaining vegetables warm until ready to serve. 7. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to food processor and process until a pesto-like consistency. If necessary, add additional olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 8. Serve sliced pork with red pepper pesto and roasted vegetables on the side. Serves 8.
Home and Lifestyle
So the holidays have passed, and now it’s just cold and icy. It’s cold when I pick up the kids from school; it’s cold when I go shopping for groceries, and when I get the mail. I know spring is around the corner, but I don’t plan on waiting that long to brighten my week. I thought I might share some of my own simple ideas on how to not only beat, but skip past the winter blues. Just a few simple changes within my home and lifestyle can help brighten my day. My new kitchen hobby is
tarts. I started with a spring inspired quiche, which is technically and traditionally a German tart. Now, I’m moving on to fruit tartlets. I enjoy looking through Pinterest for delicious recipe ideas. Hmmm, what shall I try? Perhaps I’ll try making lemon custard tartlets with sliced strawberries. I also made a floral arrangement in light spring colors for my home. I purchased a “happy lamp” for the dull and dark, sunless winter days. I changed my home scent to orange and lemon, and I’m updating my

I love gathering with friends, so I’m planning a “ladies night in.” A simple gathering with a spring nail polish color change and a few highlights from the salon can do wonders in the winter, so I’m on to that next. But first, I think I’ll try window shopping for spring gardening ideas, as well as spring wardrobe changes…why not? For now, even my warm, winter yellow scarf brightens my outfit. Remember to dress the part, and enjoy a cup of warm herbal orange tea!
