PRESENTATION BY NANCY HORNSBY REGARDING A NEW ADULT PROBATION AND PAROLE PROGRAM SPONSORED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

Nancy Hornsby from the Adult Probation and Parole Program of the Department of Corrections explained a new parole program that was being tried in Roy. The goal of the program was to focus more positively on parolees and set a new pattern for success. Once parolees were employed everything else seemed to fall into place. They had a goal of 100% employment; right now they had 90%. She wanted the Council to know about these people in the community. In the near future they hoped to find a community project so the Roy group could do some community service.

Ms. Hornsby answered questions from the Council.

Councilman Cordova suggested that Al Poppell might be able to help with a beautification project. Councilman Smith asked that Ms. Hornsby contact him if there was someone who needed help with disabilities.

APPROVAL OF A QUIT CLAIM DEED TO TRANSFER A DETENTION BASIN IN MIYA ESTATES TO SLI COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

Blake Wahlen stated that when the Miya Estates Subdivision was constructed, the City required the developer to put in a temporary detention basin on Lot No. 11. The subdivision plat actually deeded the detention basin to the City. Since that time, the developer had connected the subdivision to the City's storm drain system, and the detention basin was no longer needed. Mr. Wahlen said the City did not want a vacant lot. The staff recommended that the Council authorize the Mayor to sign a quit claim, deeding Lot No. 11 in Miya Estates back to SLI Commercial Real Estate. SLI planned to build a home on the lot.

Mr. Wahlen hoped to have the position filled by September 1st.

Councilman Smith moved to authorize the Mayor to negotiate a contract to fill the Community Development Director position. Councilman Nakayu seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.

After a discussion, all of the Council members indicated that they were not interested in pursuing an amendment to allow more dogs in neighborhoods.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS

The Council discussed a recent editorial in The Standard Examiner about Roy City's animal control officer.

Councilman Smith stated that some of the business owners in Roy City did not feel their relationship with the Police Department was as strong as it had been in the past. Mr. Wahlen said the staff would have the Police Department make its presence more known.

Councilman Smith was concerned that someone would be hurt by those driving in the construction area on Airport Road. He felt that the road should be closed completely down.

Councilwoman Becraft stated that on September 14th at 6:30 p.m., the Fire Chief planned to have all of the CERT units meet together. If the Council members were interested in attending, they needed to let the Fire Chief know because dinner would be served.

Blake Wahlen reminded the Council about the annual employee party on Friday, August 24th. He asked that the Council members arrive at 5:00 p.m.

Councilman Nakayu stated that someone had suggested that the City put a fence around the perimeter of the cemetery. He asked that the staff let the Council known what a fence would cost.

Councilman Nakayu felt that the intersection of Airport Road and Riverdale Road needed to be realigned. Blake Wahlen said the City Council would have to condemn property to allow that to happen.

Councilman Cordova felt that a farmer's market in Roy would be a great asset to the community. He asked that the staff look into getting one started for next year. Councilman Smith suggested that be an assignment for the new Community Development Director.
