EM holds town hall to discuss utility bills By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer
Eagle Mountain held a town hall meeting last month in order to open a dialogue with residents concerning the much debated rise in utility bills. The standing room only meeting lasted for hours as Mayor Jackson, the City Council, City Administrator Ifo Pili, and residents tried to voice their concerns. The utility issue was first raised after the January bills were received in the mail. According to Public Information Director Linda Peterson, “On Saturday, February 9, utility bills arrived in mailboxes. Saturday afternoon someone posted on the city Facebook page asking if our utility rates had gone up. I posted an answer that rates hadn’t gone up and if they had questions about their account, they should contact our utility billing office on Monday. Then we got a couple more posts saying their bill was higher than expected and asking others if the same had happened to them. Eventually someone posted a link to website that was being shared around
on Facebook. On this website a resident had posted a 61 page report accusing the city of a “utility scandal” and saying the city is misusing funds collected from our utilities (Eagle Mountain is fairly unique among cities in that we own all of our utilities – power, gas, water, sewer, storm drain, and our residents are charged for usage of all of these on one bill, along with garbage collection from Ace Disposal).” By Sunday, February 10, the utility issue had jumped into high gear as a number of residents planned a meeting at City Hall and invited the media. Ifo Pili met with the group. Peterson states,” We knew rates had not gone up, and we knew the city’s management of the utility funds was not illegal, and followed common practices used by cities who own utilities. We also knew there had been a problem with our meter reading equipment during that billing period where the device used to read meters didn’t get reads on some meters and so our billing department had to use December’s gas and in some cases electric usage amounts as an esti-
mate until the equipment was repaired and we could get an actual read.” Peterson continues, “This really doesn’t factor in to those complaining about the higher bills because those with the higher amounts were the ones who had actual reads. So, with the city offices being closed and not having our utility billing staff there and access to individual accounts to answer questions, that was our initial response.” The city also looked at the unusually cold month as a contributor. On the other side concerned residents took to social media commenting on the Facebook page Eagleshare emcity. Next step was the town hall meeting where the city’s leaders tried to calm resident’s concerns. The meeting began with Mayor Jackson and City Council members making statements, followed by Ifo Pili showing a PowerPoint presentation and finally the residents were able to ask questions and make statements within an individual timed period. The meeting was recorded and can be viewed on the city’s website www.emcity.org, along with the

Two men sentenced in dump fire By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer
Kenneth Nielsen and Jeffery Conant were sentenced last month for their part in starting the “Dump Fire” last summer. Both men struck a plea deal which resulted in their receiving 12 months probation and a fine each of $5,000, plus additional interest, which must be paid in full by February of 2014. Neither man will receive jail time. Both Nielsen and Conant live outside of Utah. They were target shooting last June when the fire was started. One of the charges against them is that they were using a prohibited target which is a class B misdemeanor. The men entered a “no PowerPoint presentation. The city followed up the town hall meeting by sending out notices to residents. This notice included information such as how and why estimates were made on some resident’s bills, how residents could go on the city website to find out if their bill was an estimation and how the city offers an interest-free payment plan. It also states, “In response to residents’ requests for more detail on the utility bills, we will be mak-
contest” plea to the prohibited target charge which basically means that they are acknowledging the facts of the case without saying they are guilty. There was also a reckless burning charge filed against the men, a class A misdemeanor which was dropped as part of the plea deal. It remains to be seen if the men will have any civil suits filed against them. The Dump Fire started on June 21, 2012 and caused the evacuation of many residents from their homes, while burning many acres. It has also been suggested that the Dump Fire played a large role in the destructive landslides that effected Saratoga Springs homes the following September. ing changes to our bill format in coming months. We would like to include our rates, a consumption amount comparison from the same billing period the previous year, a breakdown of read information for budget billing participants, a one-year consumption history, and utility billing policies and procedures. We hope that providing a more detailed bill statement will help eliminate confusion and enable residents to better track their consumption.”
Positive peers equals positive outcomes By DVAR Press Release
The fun and excitement of sports teams vying for the top spot and highest levels of achievement has found its way into the classroom. Twenty-four teams, from Wasatch and Timpanogos Elementary Schools, spend their day earning points for good behavior, turning in assignments, and being on time to class. “Student motivation has been an elusive component in education,” says DVAR Institute Director Greg Strong of Eagle Mountain (DVAR stands for Diversity of abilities and interests, Valuing those abilities, meaningful Accomplishment, and Recognition of accomplish-
ment). “Peer group pressure has been a term parents and teachers have dreaded for decades. The DVAR Academic League was developed to entice and reward students for productive behaviors in a peer-supported team environment.” The DVAR Academic League was formed after seven years of studies and research at Timpanogos High School and Willowcreek Middle School and found peer groups could motivate student success much better than “authority figures.” Teachers often have a difficult time with classroom behavior, student preparedness and punctuality, and the personal responsibility of getting assignments in on time. Strong explains, “As students develop, adults tend to take a back
seat to the level of influence they have in their lives and, naturally, they are replaced by peer influences. With this knowledge, it only makes sense to form positive peer groups that can satisfy the basic social needs of acceptance, identity and meaningful accomplishment in pro-social behaviors and tasks like homework and common associations at school.” DVAR Institute Program Director Ben Reaves, also of Eagle Mountain and a program manager for Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health, spends a great deal of time counseling high risk and delinquent teens. “Through the Institute we are able to structure environments where all students can find meaningful success and inclusion in academic settings,” states Reaves.
“Some of the highest risks amongst our youth and community are low commitment to education and feelings of depression from loneliness and poor selfimage. Finding acceptance among peers is vital to the social, mental and academic well-being of a student.” “When students are rewarded for their contributions at school, they are less likely to be involved in substance abuse and other problem behaviors,” states Communities That Care Coordinator Caryn Nielsen. “The DVAR Academic League provides a way to reward our students for their efforts in school which, in turn, will strengthen our youth and community.” The League also encourages students with a competitive team
element, but focuses the point values on levels of achievement that come from effort, not grades. “Not everyone is as smart as some in the class,” Strong adds. “In order for each student to contribute equally to the team’s success, importance is placed on tasks and behaviors that all can accomplish. This builds cohesion and camaraderie among the team members as they strive toward a common goal.” The DVAR Institute will spend the remainder of the school year presenting to School Community Councils in Eagle Mountain, Saratoga Springs, and Provo, instructing how their teachers can join the League.

As spring approaches, warmer weather lures many of us (myself included) to home improvement stores and nurseries to peruse the many green and growing things. We find it hard to resist a pretty face, and eagerly snap up a flowering shrub here, a stunning perennial there, often without even thinking of where we would plant it. Over time, this impulsive shopping can lead to a yard that looks haphazard at best and rather dead at worst (as much of what is sold is not suited for our heavy clay soil and relentless winds). If your yard consists of bare dirt, or if you find yourself with a haphazard yard, use the following five principles of landscape design to create a plan that will give you a balanced, beautiful yard. Determine functionality. Think about how you want to use your yard. Do you need large areas for children to play? Do you want garden space? Do you have plans for a patio or other hardscape features? Plan these areas in advance and you will avoid having to tear out landscaping later on. Note areas of sun and shade. This important step is often overlooked when planning a yard. Determining sun/shade areas will not only help you decide what plants will grow but also where you might want to place trees for needed shade. Desired maintenance level. Do you enjoy yard work or despise it? This question should be answered honestly and be an integral part of your plan. Perennial flowers may look pretty in the nursery, but if you don’t invest
the time to deadhead regularly and occasionally divide them, they will end up looking weedy and unattractive. Plant a few pots of annuals for color instead. Landscaping style. Do you like formal gardens or a more relaxed, natural look? The type of plant material you select as well as how it is arranged will be determined by your personal preference. Balance size, shape, and texture. Balance can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Symmetrical is where plant material mirrors itself from side to side. Asymmetrical balance is achieved by using different elements to create an informal equilibrium. For example, using a group of small shrubs to
counterbalance a large tree on the opposite side. In a mixed border, small round shrubs can be balanced with some taller ornamental grasses, and some broad-leafed material can be accented with a few fine-leafed perennials. Keeping these principles in mind will help you create a usable outdoor space where form and function come together to create a beautiful yard to be enjoyed for years to come.

EM City Council Notes By Danielle Palmer Staff Writer
February 19, 2013 Eagle Mountain City Council scheduled a policy session on February 5, 2013, at 7 p.m. Public Comments Nikki Wickman talked about the storm drain fees being unneeded for subdivisions without storm drains. She also addressed the fees for the city to mow grass that it hasn’t mowed and requested the fees be removed. Road repairs are needed on Ranches Parkway specifically and other areas. She asserted that utilities and roads should be the city’s first priorities. She requested that a street sweeper be maintained, as there is trash building along the streets, and also that signs be re-evaluated since some are repetitive and falling apart. Better directions are needed on some signs as well. The mayor responded and said copies of Whitman’s concerns will be given to those responsible for the areas of concern. Justin Loera requested improving the communication procedures during city meetings, asking for a further Q&A type set-up, allowing the public to respond with follow-up questions after being heard. He also requested further actions be taken to obtain more grocery stores or concessions into the city. He asked about the number and uses of city vehicles. Lastly, he asked about the revenue and expenses pertaining to Pony Express Days and, calling the event a loser, asked if it would be canceled. The mayor responded by saying
she would look into adding a Q&A to procedures at the meetings. She had Ifo Pili give further details on the city vehicles numbers and uses. Mayor Jackson then addressed Pony Express Days and said that their goal for sponsorship is almost half way there. Painter wanted to take the opportunity to clarify his stance on adding businesses in the city. He encouraged Loera, with his wealth of experience, to further participate. He said the lack of businesses in the city always falls back on the overall economy, as well as the traffic and locations of the businesses. Ochsenhirt affirmed that as council members, they want more businesses to come, but are at a disadvantage as most businesses see Eagle Mountain not as an ideal location for businesses to be successful, as traffic is not ever passing through, but only going to the city. But he reiterated his desire for more businesses to become a part of the city. Patrick Murphy had proposed changes for the utility discounts for members of the military, including deployed military members be the first priority, extending the discounts out 30 to 90 days after their return to help with the transition to work. He also wanted to include disabled veterans in the discounts, including veterans going through medical discharges. Speaking as a representative for others, he also wanted to address Pony Express Days and suggest the concert be held on the rodeo grounds to perhaps save on money for lighting and seating. He also asked about the mayor’s Christmas party and why it was paid for in part by the city’s
Costco membership. Mayor Jackson asked permission to further contact Murphy about the military discount options. She also stated that the rodeo grounds had been considered for concerts, but there would be limited seating there. A sponsor has been providing the fencing and portable bathrooms for the event and they are always looking into further ideas for cutting costs. About the Christmas party, the Costco membership was not a budgeted item and this was the reason they felt they could use it because they didn’t feel comfortable using the taxpayer dollars. Sara Snow discussed code enforcement for the continued economic development of the city. She expressed concerns for the safety of the citizens of the city, especially children, at excavation sites throughout the city being left unattended. She reminded the council of photographs she had sent to them in emails. She expressed that there is a need for better monitoring hazards. She encouraged a more unified standard with the developers and set the bar to make sure everyone is adhering to what is needed. In particular, she pointed out locations near Ranches Parkway and Nolan Park needing improvement. She also discussed impact fees and inspection fees. The mayor asked for further clarification on the issues stated and expressed that she also has noticed many roads needing to be corrected that have only just been repaired. Some of these roads are still under warranty and they will look into getting these corrected. City Council comments Burnham thanked those who
commented and encouraged anyone to send her emails or phone calls. Steinkopf addressed the recent Town Hall meeting and stated that it was long and a little rough, but he felt it was a good meeting. He hopes the citizens understand that they are working hard and will work harder. Painter submitted 24 items of feedback from emails to the minutes. He wanted the city residents to know that they are heard, and to stay tuned. Ochsenhirt allowed that there have been mistakes made. He stated his surprise to the attendance and that he assumed the smaller number in attendance means that the town hall meeting was better than he had thought. He stated his intention to be clear in answering questions and hoped to listen better and defend less in the future. Ireland reiterated what was said and expressed that there is a need for more people to be involved and better the city. If your questions have been answered, he advises you to find more questions to ask. Mayor Jackson thanked those attending and admitted that the city hall meeting had been quite intimidating. She explained that, being from the east coast, she sometimes seems too forward and straight to the point. She wanted city residents to know that she never intends to offend and will continue to work on being better. Consent agenda Burnham moved to approve the consent agenda, Ochsenhirt seconded the motion and it carried unanimously, with Painter abstaining vote because he had been absent. Resolution and motion pertaining to Jacob’s Well Plat D, Final Plat. The resolution would approve the exchange of property with Patterson Construction, Inc for property adjacent to Jacob’s Well, Plat C. The
Page 3
final plat replaces a portion of Jacob’s Well Plat C. The motion would approve the final plat. After Steve Mumford presented information, Ireland moved to adopt the resolution, Ochsenhirt seconded, and it passed unanimously. Ireland then moved to approve the motion, Ochsenhirt seconded, and it also passed by unanimous vote. Resolution to adopt the issuance and sale of not more than $3,000,000, aggregate principal amount of water and sewer revenue bond anticipation notes. The city will be issuing water and sewer bond anticipation notes for the purpose of providing funds to pay for the acquisition of well #1 acquired by the city from Cedar Valley Water Company through certain purchase and settlement agreements. It is currently contemplated that the bonds will close and funds be made available to make the first initial payment on February 26. Ifo Pili allowed that it is not the easiest decision to make. He felt it was his responsibility to give the council members all of their options, and this is one of them. He stated they could liquidate their CDs, but then they would not longer have it as cushion. He felt this was a viable option to protect them, but it would be very tight. Lara Lewis came forward to give more information to the council. Mayor Jackson asked for a reasonable number. Ochsenhirt asked about rates and there was much discussion on the decision at hand. Painter ultimately moved not to adopt the resolution and this was seconded by Ireland. There was further discussion on the details of the resolution and on liquidation of their CDs. Ochsenhirt talked about paying for the costs with future development. Please see EMCC NOTES on page 5

SS City Council Notes By Jennifer Klingonsmith Staff Writer
February 19, 2013 The City Council meeting began at 6 p.m. Those present included Jim Miller, Shellie Baertsch, Rebecca Call, Mayor Mia Love, and city staff. Michael McOmber and Bud Poduska were absent. Policy session Police Chief Gary Hicken presented some community service awards. He presented one award to Wal-Mart for its annual support of the Polar Plunge (a fundraiser for Special Olympics). Another award was given to a Saratoga Hills woman who organized the volunteer effort for the Polar Plunge. Hicken noted that over $30,000 was raised at the 2013 Polar Plunge, making it the most successful Special Olympics fundraiser in the state. Mayor Mia Love surmised that the Polar Plunge served as an example of the success of finding solutions at the local level. She encouraged residents to shop local so that some of that money is reinvested in local causes. Resolution R13-5 (2-19-13): A resolution of the City Council of the City of Saratoga Springs accepting

the Camp W.G. Williams Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) final report and endorsing and supporting the strategies therein as recommended by the Camp Williams JLUS policy committee. The resolution was unanimously approved. Ordinance 13-3 (2-19-13): An ordinance of the City Council of the City of Saratoga Springs, Utah, changing SR 73 to Crossroads Boulevard; and providing an effective date. Councilwoman Shellie Baertsch asked if the name “boulevard,” was appropriate, since other boulevards in the city were secondary streets in residential areas. City staff reported positive feedback concerning the name and didn’t think it would be confusing. The ordinance was unanimously approved. Resolution R13-2 (2-19-13): A resolution amending the consolidated fee schedule for the City of Saratoga Springs and establishing an effective date. City staff reported that the time and cost of processing a records request had been studied. Staff found that it took an average of 30 minutes for the records clerk to locate and copy the requested infor-
mation. When employee pay and printing costs were considered, it was decided that residents requesting records should be charged a $13 fee. The resolution was unanimously approved. The extension of The Villages at Saratoga Springs Master Development Agreement. City staff reported that the developers needed more time, as seven of them were working together on a single development. An additional six months was needed. The extension was unanimously approved. Concept Plan for River Heights located at approximately 250 East Alhambra Drive, Randy Rindishbacher, applicant. City staff reported that the developer had reworked the plan to include some townhomes and some single-family homes. It also included a tot lot and large centralized park. The River Heights and Summer Village HOA’s would also be combined. The streets would be private, but the storm drain connections would be public. No action was taken on this item. The meeting then entered into closed session.
would turn to unless absolutely necessary. Finally, the vote was taken, and the motion not to adopt passed with Ireland voting yes, Burnham voting yes, Steinkopf voting no, Painter voting yes, and Ochsenhirt voting no. Ordinance to enact Title 4 of the municipal code in the Administrative Code Enforcement Hearing
Program, which establishes a comprehensive code enforcement system that uses a combination of civil, judicial, and administrative remedies to gain compliance with city regulations. As it stood, there was no formal process to the code enforcement and it was proposed to establish a better system. Jeremy Cook presented
information, and Steinkopf expressed concerns about issues coming from the notices being lost in the mail. He wondered if mailings should be certified to make sure the notices are received, and people cannot claim they didn’t receive them. Further discussion was made on how to take action. Cook recommended adopting the ordinance as is
and then making amendments later as it comes up. Painter moved to adopt, adding his additions to reevaluate it after one year as a council. Ochsenhirt seconded the motion. He talked then about the reasonable costs and concerns of conflict of interest. Burnham Please see EMCC NOTES on page 7

expressed concerns about any possibilities of being too close to the any situations with neighbors. The mayor suggested tabling the ordinance, as hasty action is not necessary. She called for a vote and the motion to adopt failed with all votes no excepting Painter. Ochsenhirt then motioned to table to ordinance, and Burnham seconded this motion.
