Pleasant View

WILLARD — Authorities initially declined to explain what specifically caused a Willard police officer to shoot and kill a motorist Friday night on Interstate 15, but on Monday, Pleasant View Police Chief D. Scott Jackson issued a news release, based on “information that was obtained on scene immediately after the tragic incident” involving the man identified as 49-year-old Cody J. Ramseyer, of Sandy.

Jackson’s release states that Ramseyer, in acting aggressively, refused to exit the vehicle or show his hands as instructed by the officers and began yelling back at the officers’ commands.

The release further states that upon getting out of the vehicle and moving toward the officers through the trees/brush, Ramseyer “indicated that he had a gun, indicated that he was going to kill the officers and told the officers to kill him.”

Phase Two of Pleasant Fields Subdivision was approved unanimously by council members. The subdivision is located at approximately 1375 W. 3100 North.

Community Development Director Bruce Talbot said originally Phase Two was approved by the planning commission, but never came forward to the city council to get final approval. Talbot said that was in 2007 at a time when nearly all development was disappearing.

PLEASANT VIEW — Green-waste vouchers will be available to residents again this year. In years past, the city had a pick up day it would pickup resident’s green waste from the curb, but they discontinued that practice last year and provided a one-day-use voucher to dump green waste at the Weber County landfill instead. To receive a voucher, residents need to call city offices at 801-782-8259 and request the voucher.

PLEASANT VIEW — The city council approved renewing the contract with Econo Waste for garbage and recycling services.
