Hearing on $65M bond for Weber School District draws none

Last updated Wednesday, May 16, 2012 - 11:29pm

OGDEN — No members of the general public spoke out against the Weber School District’s proposed $65 million bond Monday night. And no one spoke in favor of the bond either.

The public hearing was not attended by any members of the general public.

“There’s been very little public input,” said Jeff Stephens, Weber School District superintendent. “I’ve made more than 40 presentations to various groups, and the response has been very positive.”

FARMINGTON — City leaders will be true to their word in paying off a $1.9 million bond used to build a new road within three years. The bond helped the city finance building Station Park Way.

City Manager Dave Millheim recently outlined plans to pay off a 2009 bond package, just three years after the city bonded to build what was then dubbed as the “road to the north,” linking Station Park and Park Lane Village to the rest of the city.

The early payoff is due to a $1,768,754 payment the city received from CenterCal, which is developing Station Park.

Morgan suspends animal control project

MORGAN -- The Morgan County Council has a bad case of buyer's remorse, so even though it has already spent nearly $100,000 to build an animal control facility, the council will return a bond and scrap current plans.

The council unanimously voted to halt all work on the project, pay all outstanding debts to architects and contractors, and return a $600,000 bond. The council has already spent $95,200 for the project.

"The budget is extremely tight this year. Right now there is no way to make the numbers work," said Councilman Ned Mecham, who opposed incurring the debt since taking his seat on the council in January 2011. "There is no way the county can do it."

NORTH OGDEN -- Residents won't be voting next month on whether they want the city to bond to build a new public works complex and may have to wait as long as two years for their voices to be heard.

The city released a statement saying there is just not enough time to follow all the correct protocols to get the issue on the ballot for the Nov. 8 election.

Late last week, the city received a petition with nearly 3,000 signatures verified by the county, but when officials looked at the next several steps to complete the election process, they found it wouldn't work.
