Mrs. Thomas gave a brief history of the Roy Junior Posse to the Council. She stated that the Roy Junior Posse was founded in the Spring of 1955, and Roy Tullis plowed part of his fruit orchard for the arena. Frank Eliason used his land for the Roy Junior Posse from 1964 through 1966. The City then set aside an area above the Heritage Care Center where the current ball diamond is and was used until the present location was donated in about 1981. Several Miss Rodeo Utah's have come from the Roy Junior posse, as well as a Miss Rodeo America. Not only do the youth use this arena, but also several adult riding clubs as well.

There is a large demand on the posse grounds: each week night there is at least one club that uses it, and on two week nights, it is double booked. Money is contributed by the people who use the grounds for the portable toilet facilities, grooming of the arena, and any repairs that are needed. The city contributes the lighting of the arena, which is minimal.

The need for an arena in Roy City speaks for itself. 60% of the 275,000 horses owned in Utah are in Salt Lake, Weber, Davis, and Cache counties. These horses are used for pleasure and youth riding activities.

Mrs. Thomas stated that the city has a concern that more nonresidents than residents use the facility. She stated that she spoke with Virg Howe at the Roy Recreation Complex, and 55% of their pass holders are nonresidents. She stated this shouldn't be an issue because the income still comes into the City in the form of fuel and food when people use this arena.

Mrs. Thomas stated that Gerry Adair and Mike Sumner had done some title searches on this property. She stated that years ago the land was donated by the Weber County Commission for the use of the youth in the Junior Posse.

Gerry Adair asked the council what they would be doing with this property if it wasn't going to be used for the posse. Mayor Burnett stated that it was being studied at this time, but it could possibly be soccer fields, baseball diamonds, or a parking lot. It could also remain posse grounds. He stated that Roy City does need to build parks, but we also need places for those who own horses. He asked the City Council to consider keeping this ground for the posse.

Council member Nakayu stated that he would support the posse, but that maybe this wouldn't be the best location to keep it. The reason for this is that if the posse stays at the current location, there would be a disruption of use because the landfill will need to be capped at some point in the future.

Mrs. Thomas stated that the problem with that is there isn't land anywhere for this arena. Mr. Wahlen stated there is a possibility that the neighbors across the street might be interested in selling some of their property for this purpose. Mr. Wahlen stated that it wasn't the intent of the Council to pass a motion at this time. The city will continue to look at property west of the current area for an arena.

Gerry Adair asked where this arena would be put, and Mr. Wahlen stated that it could potentially be put west of 4300. There is nothing wrong with Roy City owning property in Hooper.

Council member Nakayu asked if the city was under a time constraint to get the landfill capped, and Mr. Wahlen stated that we were not. The park will be developed in several different phases. A master plan will be developed, and funding will be addressed according to each phase of the park.

RENEWAL OF CONTRACT WITH SECOND DISTRICT JUVENILE COURT FOR GRAFFITI REMOVAL

a. APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 723 APPROVING AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE OF UTAH SECOND DISTRICT JUVENILE COURT PROVIDING FOR GRAFFITI REMOVAL AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT.

Mr. Wahlen stated that Roy City has a program with the juvenile court where those who create the graffiti are involved with the cleanup of the graffiti. Mr. Wahlen stated that he is proposing a renewal of that contract with the juvenile court. This program has worked effectively in the past.

Council member Tafoya moved to approve Resolution No. 723 renewing the contract with Second District Juvenile Court for graffiti removal. Council member Cordova seconded the motion.

Council member Cordova asked whether the graffiti incidents had increased or decreased this past year. Mr. Wahlen stated that it fluctuates, but they have been consistent over the past couple of years. The first year the contract was $9,000, and this year it will be renewed for $5,500.

A roll call vote was taken: Council members Smith, Tafoya, Becraft, Cordova, and Nakayu voted "aye." The motion carried.

Chief Zimmerman stated that Utah Olympic Public Safety Command has been involved with securing volunteers to help with the Olympics. There are more police officers needed to work the venues than are in the state of Utah, and will be brought in from other states. Chief Zimmerman stated that UOPSC is asking every police agency to step forth and help with the
upcoming Olympics. Chief Zimmerman has been asking UOPSC for the funding to make sure Roy City is covered during this time.

Chief Zimmerman stated that the Roy City Police Department will be sending 12 officers to help with the Olympics. Their pay will come out of budgeted police department funds, so there will not be any requests for additional funds. Chief Zimmerman will look at ways in which the City can do without their services. UOPSC has committed to pay for overtime for every officer we send them, plus pay 96 hours of overtime to the city for that 3 week period to make sure our city is covered. Lt. Whinham is confident that with that guarantee we can continue to offer the type of public safety to our citizens and be able to allow 12 of our officers to work and allow the city to be represented at the Olympics. This will be included in next year's budget.

Update on outdoor pool

Mr. Wahlen gave the Council an update on the Roy City Pool. There was to be a meeting held today between the potential property owners and potential buyers, but it has been postponed. Mr. Wahlen stated that the acquisition of property for this pool has been out of his control, and asked the Council for direction as to whether they wanted him to pursue pool sites other than Roy Park.
Council member Cordova stated that the decision for this pool has been pushed back several times, and asked Mr. Wahlen how things looked as far as an alternate site. Mr. Wahlen stated the alternative location looked fairly favorable, but that it will take some time to do this. Mr. Wahlen stated that it is uncertain as to how much time will be needed, but construction could still begin this year.

Council member Cordova stated that it was his opinion that this be pushed back until the next City Council meeting, and if things are not decided by then, a decision could be made at that time regarding the Roy Park site. Council member Smith agreed that a decision needed to be made at the next Council meeting if the prognosis still looked bad for the alternative sites. Mr. Wahlen stated that if the prognosis still looked bad for the alternative sites, the people who were most opposed to the pool being built at Roy Park needed to be notified that the decision will be made at the next Council meeting. The Council agreed to table this until the next scheduled City Council meeting.

Mr. Wahlen stated that he had a landscaping plan for Common Cents, and would leave it out for the Council to view. The approval for this can be handled administratively, and does not need to be approved by the Council.

Council member Smith asked about the vacant lot to the East of the Common Cents, and Mr. Wahlen stated that it is currently a vacant lot, with the landscaping to be installed on the frontage of the property. Council member Smith also asked if the site plan had been approved for the property behind Big O Tires. If the contract is awarded to the current developers, it will be on the next Council agenda.

Mayor Burnett stated that there are currently 3 railroad lines that run through Roy. The Denver and Rio Grande lines are proposedly being bought by the state for a trail, and light rail is proposed in the corridor of the Union Pacific. Mayor Burnett asked if there were any plans for the third set of tracks on 5600 South, east of 1900 West. Mr. Wahlen stated that there were no plans for the third set of tracks at this time.

Mayor Burnett stated that he had no items to discuss at this time.

Council member Tafoya stated that the citizens of the Crest asked him to report to the Council that they don't receive their water bill and newsletter like the rest of the citizens of Roy. They proposed a marquee be installed in front of the fire station that would contain updated city information. Mr. Wahlen stated that this is something that could be included in the budget if the Council desired. Mr. Wahlen suggested that city newsletters could be made available to the subdivision in the future.

Council member Nakayu stated that this Saturday there is a fund raiser at the school for the Deaf and Blind which is sponsored by the Leadership Northern Utah Group.

Tim Slack, a member of the audience, asked the Council about the status of the construction on 1900 W and 5600 S. Mayor Burnett stated that UDOT is putting fiber optics in their roads to coordinate their signals. This originated in Clearfield, and will end at 2nd Street; it will continue until it is completed. Mr. Slack also asked about the status of light rail. The Council stated that it will be some time in the future, but will be a few years away from completion.

Council member Smith stated that the Chamber of Commerce is offering a small stipend for minority women in business to be involved with the Chamber.

Council member asked if the Boys and Girls Club had a new director. Council member Cordova stated that Ginger Paxman was hired as the new full time director. The Boys and Girls Club is currently open 3 days of the week, and has 250 members.

Council member Becraft moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:05. Council member Nakayu seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.
