Budget info for Pony Express Days By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer
Eagle Mountain is gearing up for the 2013 Pony Express Days and part of getting ready is focusing on the budget. The city is already projecting a $64,510 loss on the event this year, which if correct would be lower than the two previous years. Last year the real net income loss landed at $67,252.57 and according to events director Angie Ferre practically all of that loss could be resolved if the city didn’t have to rent bleachers for the rodeo and demolition derby which came in at $62,000 dollars. The city is already looking into other options for the bleachers to continue to cut down on that cost.
Pony Express Days relies heavily on donations. Ferre states, “We get monetary and in-kind donations from area businesses in exchange for advertising at the festival. Our goal for 2013 is to raise $140,000 in monetary sponsorships. We are currently at $125,000.” This is already more than the sponsorships from last year which came in at $124,302. About this year’s event Ferre states, “As far as the events being offered, it will be about the same. Changes have been made in budgeting over the last couple of years to steadily decrease the amount of loss. We have increased the amount of revenue from sponsorships and decreased the amount of employee overtime by adjusting schedules and establishing a volunteer program to help staff the festival events. Last
year we sold out the demolition derby and saw higher attendance for the rodeo. We feel as time goes on and the event continues to grow in popularity, our revenue will steadily increase.” She continues, “Pony Express Days is a valuable marketing and economic development tool for the city. It brings a lot of businesses and people in and shows off our great community to people who may not otherwise have a reason to visit. Our PRCA Rodeo has received the Best Small Rodeo award from the Wilderness Circuit for the past two years, and I have been invited to speak at the PRCA convention twice, as well as the Utah Association of Fairs and Events. I have also been placed on the Wilderness Circuit Board as the committee representative.”

SS Theatre Company ready for inaugural season By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer
Last summer the Saratoga Springs Art Council presented “The Sound of Music” and was so pleased with the success of the endeavor that they formed the Saratoga Springs Theatre Company. Now the Saratoga Springs Theatre company is getting ready to kick off their inaugural season. First up will be “Opening Night: The Music of Broadway” which will take place on Saturday, April 20, at 7:30 at Westlake High School. This will be a fundraising event with funds going towards the new theatre company. Board co-chair for the company Tyler Hinton states, “We have a cast of over 40 local residents of all ages who have been rehearsing since February and are doing a wonderful job. Some of the performances will blow the audience away! A fun element of the concert is the premium seating, which includes chances to win amazing door prizes, including autographed Broadway and BYU sports memorabilia.” The night will feature music by well-known composers including Rodgers and Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim. Prices for the event will be $10 dollars for adults, $7 dollars for children under 12, or a family pass which could include two adults and up to four children for $35 dollars. The premium tickets, which will get you entered in the prize drawings are only slightly higher, for instance $12 dollars for an adult. The theatre company also has two additional plays planned for this season. In June they will be the first company in Utah, and one of the first in the nation, to produce “Shrek the Musical.” Followed by “Legally Blond the Musical” in October. Hinton states, “Anyone who enjoys the film versions of "Shrek" and "Legally Blonde"
will enjoy the musicals. But even if you don't love the movies, the musicals are still incredible. They are so much fun, but often surprisingly heartbreakingly beautiful. Both shows contain some of my favorite music of all time.” There are season tickets available which will include all three shows, and all proceeds from the ticket sales will go directly to the theatre and its offerings since the company is made up completely of volunteers. Hinton states, “Funds from the city will cover approximately 25 percent of the minimum annual budget for the theatre. The remaining 75 percent will need to come from ticket sales, sponsorships, and donations. More information can be found on our website or by emailing us. We truly appreciate any assistance that can be given us. An easy way to support performing arts in Saratoga Springs is by purchasing season tickets, which are on sale now. The season ticket prices (which include three shows) are about comparable to prices for just one show at other area theatres.” He continues, “Please let people know how important it is for our continued success to purchase season and single concert tickets ahead of time at sstheatreco.blogspot.com. There's a lot of other information available there, including content guidelines for the shows. We'd also like to welcome everyone to ‘like’ us on Facebook for up-to-date information and announcements.” Besides buying tickets there are a number of ways that residents can get involved in the theatre including not only performing, but also decorating sets, selling concessions, creating costumes, and many other things. There will also be a youth theatre camp this July. Besides checking the company’s website residents can also email them as sstheatreco@gmail.com for more information.

Green Thumb by Jennifer Klingonsmith
Three ways to maximize curb appeal The weather is warming and spring is officially here. It’s at this point that most people start thinking of an outdoor project. But what to do? Why not consider something that will not only improve the look of your landscaping, but also add to the long-term value of your home? Here are three of my top project choices that could pay dividends down the road. Plant large-growing trees. When you drive through established neighborhoods, one of the attractive features is mature landscaping. Nothing says “home” like a large shade tree in the backyard. Too often, however, I see residents fill their yards with trees that will max out at 25 feet (with local soil conditions, this often means maturity at about 15 feet). This is unfortunate on two levels. For one, neighborhoods will not have that “established” look and miss out on the related increase in home values. Second, current homeowners
miss out on benefits of shading their house and savings on cooling costs. So consider planting a large tree, one that reaches 50 feet or more. Two that I recommend are the “Shademaster” Honey Locust and Sycamore trees. They grow quickly and easily adapt to local conditions. Some advice when planting large trees: think seriously about tree placement. Where would the shade most benefit your family, for outdoor living and for cooling your home? Plant large trees at least 15 feet away from your home and mulch a large area under the tree. Create usable spaces. Is your yard usable? Do you have spaces to gather outside or to grow a vegetable garden? If not, consider adding a patio or some box planters. Another popular option is adding a fire pit area. Any of these options will give purpose to your yard and add value to your property. Use mulch. If your landscaping
could be compared to a cake, mulch is the frosting. Whether you use decorative rock or bark, mulch will brighten your landscaping and highlight your plants and flowers. I am always amazed at the difference this quick improvement can add to a home’s curb appeal. Mulch has benefits that go well beyond cosmetic. It is one of the best things you can give your plants and trees: mulch moderates soil temperature, helps retain moisture, controls weeds, and improves your soil over time. Lay down three to four inches for best results. Your landscaping is a long-term investment. So have a plan, think about usability, and invest in your home’s future.

EM City Council Notes By Danielle Palmer Staff Writer March 19, 2013 On March 19, 2013, at 7:08 p.m., City Council meeting opened with a prayer and Council member Ochsenhirt led the company in the Pledge of Allegiance. Announcements Spring Clean-Up Dumpsters will be located at 2545 N Pony Express for the disposal of large waste, not including electronics or appliances. The Spring Street Fair will be April 20 from 12-4 p.m. Register online to set up your booth display. Informative presentations Gas and electric rate study Sawvel & Associates presented information on the rate study performed on Eagle Mountain utility rates. As part of the presentation, it was shown that Eagle Mountain has 81 percent of electricity going to residential clients, nine percent to commercial and 10 percent municipal. For natural gas, 94 percent goes to residential units, five percent to commercial and one percent municipal. There was projected a need for increased electric revenue requirements. There were comparisons presented between existing rates and the costs of service rates. There was a suggestion to use Riders to collect costs and make adjustments to compensate for the big fluctuations in costs year to year. Other recommendations were made to help keep costs more level and low. The presentation can be viewed online at the city website—go to Agendas and Minutes, City Council Meeting Documents, 3-19-2013 Meeting Documents, and Gas and Electric Rate Study Presentation. The presen-
tation includes official costs and numbers. Burn permits Fire Chief Rand Andrus presented information about the new policies for burn permits. Changes have been made and information can be found at the UFA website, where you can also find the application for permits. Burning is permitted from March 30 until May 30, but permits will not be issued to areas of less than an acre. The fee will be $25 per burn instead of per year from now on. They are working on the big changes, but he strongly recommends using the available clean-up dumpsters instead of trying to burn everything. Council member Burnham asked about other types of fires, for example, to roast marshmallows. The Fire Chief responded by saying cooking fires, barbeques, and recreational fires (no bigger then 3 feet wide and 6 inches high) would not require a burn permit. Public comments Justin Loera wanted to readdress his earlier comment about amending City Council meetings and wanted to know when it would be placed on the agenda. He also expressed appreciation for the presentation on the utility rate study, as it was very helpful and answered many questions. The mayor stated that they are still working on a process for making changes. Marianne Smith expressed concerns about the connection of Lake Mountain road with Pony Express, stating that it was deteriorating and in need of a good legal connection with a light or a sign. The mayor stated that they looked into light costs and they would be about $39,000, but they are still looking into the costs for a solar power option and will keep looking
into what can be done for the area. Council member comments Ireland wanted to discuss whether a council meeting on the second of April was indeed needed. Mayor Jackson responded saying there are plans anticipated that she does not wish to delay and so she would anticipate the meeting be needed that day. Painter left the meeting at this time. Burnham expressed appreciation to the public for the change in tone from accusatory to respectfully seeking answers through emails of late. Steinkopf wanted to encourage city residents to take the opportunity to advertise how great our city is by going online to vote for our city as the best at the Daily Herald. He also encourages all to tell their neighbors. Appointment Council member Ochsenhirt moved to appoint Justin Loera as a part of the Economic Development Board until 2014. Council member Steinkopf seconded and voting was unanimous. Loera was then sworn into office by the city recorder. Consent agenda Council member Ireland moved to remove item 13, the final plat for SilverLake Plat 8, off the consent agenda and add it to the regular agenda for discussion, and moved to approve the consent agenda. Burnham seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. The final plat for SilverLake, Plat 8. The concern was about a specified area where a few homeowner properties were located over a sewer line. Ochsenhirt expressed concerns over making sure the homeowner that moves into the property would know they are responsible for their own replacement costs if the city ever
needs to cause damage to the area in order to make any repairs to the city property. Jeremy Cook agreed that it would be the homeowner’s responsibility and they would buy the property at their own risk. Ireland was concerned that this would forever be an issue for the area, not for just one homeowner, but for all future homeowners to the property. The mayor discussed making the
plot that has the smallest buildable area a model home lot. Tony Trane informed the council they are already making adjustments to the plan to shift the lots so they don’t have as much area located over the sewer line. Mayor Jackson suggested tabling the item until the adjustments that are being made can be presented Please see EMCC NOTES on page 7

SS City Council Notes By Jennifer Klingonsmith Staff Writer
The City Council meeting began at 7 p.m. Those present included Jim Miller, Shellie Baertsch, Rebecca Call, Michael McOmber, Bud Poduska, Mayor Mia Love, and city staff. Public comment A Harvest Hills resident expressed disappointment in the city’s care of the irrigation canal that runs through his neighborhood. He stated that it was overgrown with weeds and created a danger to young children. He also wanted to know the city’s costs to maintain the canal. City staff noted that the fire department would soon be doing controlled burning to clean weeds out of the canal. They also noted that the city maintains the canal in return for residents having access to the area and adjoining walking path. An Eagle Mountain resident who teaches at Westlake High School asked the City Council to consider being a co-applicant on a grant to build a trail running along Pony Express Parkway. He noted that track athletes frequently ran along the roadside and he didn’t feel it was safe for them to do so. Policy items Consent calendar The consent calendar was unanimously approved, removing Section A., for further discussion. Section A: Preliminary Plat for The Benches Plat 9 located at approximately 600 West Valley View Drive, Edge Homes, applicant. City staff reported that the parcel contained four acres of open space. According to the master development agreement, the open space would contain a cement trail and native landscaping. Councilwoman Rebecca Call expressed concern that the “native” landscaping would mean overgrown weeds that would take over the trail. Past experience has taught us that that weeds become overgrown, residents complain, and then the city is left with more extensive maintenance than originally thought. Taxpayers would then need to pay for the increased maintenance, she concluded. Call’s comments then began an extended discussion on whether there was landscaping with maintenance requirements somewhere between that of weeds and of turf grass. City staff responded saying the city needed to balance the expenses of maintenance and water usage with having affordable open space. He thought many residents enjoyed areas of native landscaping throughout the city. Having every bit of open space manicured and professionally landscaped would make Saratoga Springs look like any other town, he concluded. Councilman Bud Poduska agreed with staff, saying some areas of native open space needed to be preserved. Councilman Michael McOmber added that effort should be taken to improve the city’s weed abatement program. An Edge Homes representative said he would be willing to work on additional solutions with
his team. The preliminary plat was unanimously approved. Consideration for adoption of a resolution of the City Council of the City of Saratoga Springs, Utah, authorizing the issuance and sale of not more than $6,500,000 aggregate principal amount of water revenue bonds, series 2013, and related matters. City Manager Mark Christensen explained that the city was refinancing a bond as well as bonding for additional projects including a new water line along 800 West, culinary water improvements, secondary water improvements, and building a Central Utah water turnout. Christensen clarified that the City Council was not obligated to borrow the entire $6.5 million, but that the bond could go up to that amount. He added that with this bond, the city would have funding for all needed projects at once. The City Council agreed that the city should avoid debt whenever possible and discussed ways to possibly pay off the bond prematurely. The bond was unanimously approved. Approval of the Joint Federal Aid Agreement for Pony Express Trail. This agreement came before the City Council at the last meeting. The council members rejected the agreement at that time, but instructed city staff to further research the ramifications that such an agreement would have on the city long-term. Eagle Mountain was the other applicant on the agreement. Assistant City Manager Spencer Kyle reported that Saratoga Springs would be required to maintain the trail, costing about $600 annually. He also indicated that the trail would connect Silver Lake subdivision to Redwood Road. McOmber said that he appreciated city staff’s additional research on the grant. He was glad to hear that the grant was paid for by the federal gas tax (something all residents pay each time they fill up their gas tanks). He still questioned the costs of maintaining the trail 30 years down the road. Councilwoman Call stated that if the city did not take the grant, Utah County would award the grant to the next project on the list. The county saw a local need for the trail, that is why it was offering the grant to Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs. Mayor Mia Love referred back to earlier comments about the Westlake track team running on Pony Express Parkway. She noted that the road was a major arterial and not an appropriate place for students to be running. On a separate matter, Love stated that she was currently working with Representative Jason Chaffetz on a bill that would help keep more local money in the local economy. She thought it was concerning that the federal government takes money (like the federal gas tax) then doles some of it out telling local entities exactly how to spend it. Concerning the grant, Love suggested Eagle Mountain be responsible for maintaining the trail until the Pony Express widening project was complete.
Saratoga Springs would maintain the trail after that. Councilman Jim Miller liked the idea of a trail connecting Eagle Mountain with Saratoga Springs. He noted that connecting trails to the Jordan River trail system was one of the city’s goal. Poduska noted that the research done made his decision easier. He wondered which city’s residents would use the trail more, but agreed with the project. McOmber asked if the trail would be lit; he thought lighting was an important safety feature for those walking on the trail. He also urged track students to not run on busy roads.
Baertsch asked that staff to write a maintenance agreement for Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain. The agreement was unanimously approved. Joint Agreement between UDOT and the City of Saratoga Springs (Pony Express Widening). City Engineer Jeremy Lapin noted that there was existing conduit between 200 West and 800 West that ran along Pony Express Parkway. He said that if money remained after the widening was complete, the conduit could be used to add lighting to the road/new trail. The construction would take place during Spring 2014. The agreement was unanimously approved. Reports
Page 5
Miller reported that a citywide clean-up effort would begin in April and that dumpsters would be placed in various locations. McOmber reported that the recently formed Porter Rockwell District (Boy Scouts of America) was looking for volunteers to fill various positions at the district level. Call noted that the Boy Scouts were also looking for nearby parcels of land to build a summer camp. Scouts would then not have to drive as far to attend summer camp. Baertsch stated that Camp Williams was planning to host a race on its property. This hasn’t been done in many years. Cattle are also grazing on the land as a way to mitigate wild fire danger. The meeting then entered closed session.

He plead with the council not to table the item. Cook pointed out that because of the depth of the sewer lines being at 14 feet, if there was ever a need to dig in the area it would effect the entire neighborhood and not just these particular lots. The mayor called for a vote on the motion to table and the motion failed with all voting no except a yes from Council member Ireland. Ochsenhirt motioned to approve the item subject to specific revisions in addition to the reductions to the specified lots as named and allowing a specified amount no more then five feet within the easement of the sewer lines. Cook warned the council that if the motion was
approved, they would be getting whatever they got. Council member Burnham seconded the motion and all voted yes except Council member Ireland. The motion carried. The next item, a resolution for the Clearview Master Development Agreement, was removed from the agenda. Bid Award for the Construction of a Steel Natural Gas Pipeline. The asphalt plant will require more natural gas than can be supplied with the current infrastructure. It is therefore necessary to extend the existing steel pipeline approximately 10,000 feet to SR 73 from where it currently ends at the Holiday Oil gas station. Council member Ochsenhirt moved to award the bid, and Council
To place a classified ad call 801-407-1340 member Steinkopf seconded. The motion carried unanimously. As last comments, Council member Ochsenhirt noted the Economic Board meeting scheduled for the following evening. He also stated there were good decisions made during the meeting and gave a shout out to the city employees for their good work. Council member Steinkopf gave a last reminder to talk to the neighbors and give a good name for our city by voting online. The meeting adjourned at 8:47 p.m. Video and audio recordings of all City Council meetings can now be found online at the city website!
