Pleasant View

PLEASANT VIEW — Concerns about children’s safety have surfaced regarding the way a walking path ends on Pleasant View Drive.

Two former council members, Mae Ferguson and Tim Hjorten, recently brought pictures to city officials to illustrate their concerns.

PLEASANT VIEW -- The street project on 600 West will move forward, according to City Administrator Melinda Brimhall, who said the city representatives plan to meet soon with property owners.

“We are trying to preserve trees and minimize the impact on property owners,” said Brimhall. “The road will meander back and forth as much as it can, to minimize the impact on individual property owners.”

Brimhall said the city wants to initiate dialog with property owners and survey crews have been out surveying the land.

PLEASANT VIEW — The city council has approved up to $500 in funding for the Weber High School alcohol- and drug-free senior party at Toad’s Fun Zone. The donation will depend on the amount left in the police department budget.

PLEASANT VIEW -- The city has hired a new chief administrator.

There are new faces on the city council as three new council members were sworn in recently. Jerold Burns, Mel Marker and Toby Mileski are now on the city council.

Mayor Doug Clifford thanked outgoing council members Tim Hjorten, Mae Ferguson and Todd Walker for their service to the city.

“I appreciate the time that I had serving on the city council,” said Ferguson. She served for six years and said the city staff and office employees had been so good to work with. She said she hoped the new council members would enjoy being on the city council as she had. Ferguson also made one request, that the walking path be completed with benches and trees.

Walker also said he had enjoyed serving on the council and said Pleasant View was a great city to live in. Hjorten was not present in the meeting.

PLEASANT VIEW -- With an excess in the city's general fund of approximately $135,000, the fiscal year budget for 2011-12 was amended, with council members voting to move $45,400 into the roads and sidewalk fund, and $6,500 into the equipment and fleet project fund to pay for radar equipment for the police department.

PLEASANT VIEW -- A fire station on 4300 North would quicken response times in a fast-growing residential part of town, North View Fire District Chief Lynn Froerer told the city council recently.
