In the Regular Meeting, the ordinance was presented to adopt the new water and sewer rates. Soon after the motion was made, McDonald read a prepared statement (author unknown) about why he and his do not support the water rate.
As soon as he was finished, Rowland was surprised McDonald didn't bring his concerns up sooner after working on this with Zions Bank for so long... Once again, trying to appear as the "people's choice" when it comes to increased fees. Even though these fees are necessary to the future of Heber's infrastructure.
The vote was taken and what should have been a unanimous vote came out to four YES and one NO.
Thanks a lot McDonald... I'll make sure everyone remembers this come election time.
Councilman Rowland in a reconvened Work Meeting presented a youth violence prevention program for the city. The cost of the program would be about $9,000 and Heber City would be the first city to promote such a community initiative of this kind.
The idea was to work with parents to replace violent video games with outdoor healthy activity.
Called UNPLUGGED.
They all agreed to fund $3,000.
I heard after the fact that the $3,000 will be coming from the Board Money Rowland refuses to accept and instead turns over to the city. Now that my friends is LEADERSHIP!
