Sign changes OK’d
to help developers
FARMINGTON — Officials
are trying out a two-month
parking strip sign easement
to help strapped developers
in the area attract attention to
their homes and lots for sale.
Current ordinance forbids
such signage as A-frame
signs, small temporary
signs such as political signs,
property signs, service signs
or off-premises billboards
such as open house signs,
making it hard to attract
attention to struggling
developments.
Limits will still be in place
as to how many signs and
where developers may place
them, but the standards will
be relaxed for the time being.
“In these economic
times, I think we’ve got to
do all we can to help these
developers,” Councilman
Rick Dutson said of the
decision.
Mayor Scott Harbertson
said he hoped developers
would not take advantage of
the city’s decision, and would
police themselves well.
“I think it’s important to let
them know that if you mess
this up, it goes away,” he
said. The city will revisit the
decision in two months and
may extend it depending
upon economic conditions.

Bountiful renews
animal-control pact
BOUNTIFUL — The city
council has renewed its
contract with Davis County
for animal control for five
years.
The council voted
unanimously on Tuesday to
renew its contract with the
county for animal control
through 2014. The contract
establishes fees for certain
animal services. The city
spends approximately
$50,000 for animal-control
services, said Tom Hardy, city
manager.
Hardy said the new
contract is similar to what
the council approved last
year. It includes a critter
control fee to dispose of
raccoons and other wild
animals. Hardy noted last
year the city paid a fee on
disposal of 146 raccoons.
Until 2008, the county
had attempted to charge
residents for critters trapped
on private property, and now
that fee has been passed
on to the city. There is a $20
user fee per incident factored
into the amended contract.

FARMINGTON — The Davis
County Tourism Tax Advisory Board
will be taking a series of field trips,
beginning with the Davis Events Center, to gain a better understanding
of how the county’s tourism tax revenues are being utilized.
Board Chairman Stephen G. Handy
recommended at the board’s monthly
meeting they visit each facility receiving a portion of those funds.
The purpose of the advisory board
is to determine the most prudent use
of the $4 million generated annually
by the county’s tourism tax. The tax
consists of a 1 percent restaurant tax,
roughly a 9 percent vehicle rental tax
and a 4.25 percent to 5.75 percent hotel room tax.
“That’s a good place to start,” Handy said of the board holding its March
25 noon meeting at the Davis Events
Center, 151 S. 1100 West, Farmington.
The center is the host site of the
annual county fair.
The board often hears about the
events center, and holding its meeting there will help board members
get their arms around what the center offers, Handy said.
The center receives about $1 million of the $4 million in revenue the
tourism tax generates yearly, County
Clerk/Auditor Steve Rawlings said.
The county’s hope is the board,
through recommendations, will be
able to help enhance the activities
held at the center so they benefit a
wider range of residents, he said.
Those managing the center say the
amenities associated with it continue
to receive use.
The center hosts multiple events
each year. According to a news release issued through the county commission office, it has only two non-hol4FF5063*4.]1BHF#

A graduated late-application fee was
added for those who do not turn in the
application before the deadline. People

OGDEN — An outreach
center affiliated with Weber
State University could face
cutbacks or elimination if a
proposed budget passes in
the Legislature.
“In the two and half years
since the program started,
we’ve made a lot of progress,” said Brad Mortensen,
with WSU government relations. “It’s too bad to see that
come to a halt.”
The Northern Utah Tech
Outreach Office housed at
WSU is one of five outreach
centers that, along with the
state’s two major research
universities — Utah State
University and the University
of Utah — make up the statewide Utah Science and Technology Research (USTAR)
initiative.
If the current proposal
is passed, USTAR’s budget
for the upcoming fiscal year
would be cut a total of 43 percent, combining cuts already
made in November in a special
session and earlier this month.
The outreach offices bring
research from universities
and help local businesses turn
those new technologies into
jobs and marketable products.
They also provide entrepreneurial help and connect businesses with each other and
with academic support. The
office housed at Weber State
provides services for all of
northern Utah.
“Technology has to move
from a lab to the market,” said
USTAR spokesman Michael
O’Malley.
O’Malley said the Northern Utah outreach office has
helped more than 70 local investors, entrepreneurs and
existing companies in the last
year.
It also helped local businesses secure $3.85 million in
private funding.
If cuts are passed at the
proposed level, one option
could be consolidating the
outreach centers into one or
two locations.
“We feel it’s certainly
not in the best interest of
Northern Utah to have the
resources spread that thin,”
Mortensen said.
Created in March 2006,
USTAR projects are still in
initial phases, O’Malley said,
but have already seen profitable returns in both federal

AYTON — New and
experienced small business
owners Thursday talked
to each other about how they are
surviving the current economy along
the Wasatch Front.
“Business has been steady, but I
could use more,” said Kody Killian,
owner of Pantry’s Plumbing in
Layton.
Killian’s was one of 72 businesses
represented at the second annual
Davis Business-2-Business Expo
at the Davis Conference Center in
Layton on Thursday.
Killian opened his business in
September. His booth was close
to Robert Love Heating & Air
Conditioning.
Robert Love has been in business
in Layton for 30 years.
in Bountiful.
Breitenbeker said coming to the
expo helps get his name out in the
community.
“You have to be seen,” he said.
Gus Peterson, owner of Gold Star
Awards & Engraving in Clearfield,
said every year his business sees a
15 percent to 17 percent increase.
But in 2008 his business saw only a 5
percent increase.
“The industry overall saw a 20
percent decrease,” Peterson said.
He attended the event last year
and it brought him several new
clients.
It is also a good opportunity
to “brainstorm and do a lot of
networking,” he said.
Besides businesses attending
the event, several colleges and
universities were there.
“I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t be
here if the economy was great and
booming,” Love said.
He wanted to get the word out
that Questar is offering rebates for
attic and duct insulation.
Love said last year he was so
busy he did not offer the insulation
services, but business slowed so he
looked into the program so he could
keep his staff employed.
“I didn’t want to lay off my guys
who have families and rent to pay
because the traditional work was no
longer there,” he said.
Besides letting attendees know
about the insulation services and the
rebates offered by the gas company,
Love said he wanted to talk to other
small business owners to learn more
ways to market his business and get
through the slow times.

New rules affect gatherings, food permits

EMFXJT!TUBOEBSEOFU
OGDEN — An increase in people applying for temporary gathering, mass
gathering and temporary food permits
led to an information session Thursday
at the Weber/Morgan Health Department.
Department director Gary House
said the meeting was held to inform
organizers and food handlers of some
recent changes in the permit process
and to make them aware of the rules
involved in holding temporary gather-
ings, such as fairs and festivals.
In 2008, the health department issued 29 mass-gathering permits and
113 temporary event permits, an increase from 10 mass gatherings and
six events in 2007. Temporary foodhandling permits are $35.
Sherrie Waters, environmental health
scientist, said any group of 500 or more
people that gathers for more than two
hours must get a temporary massgathering permit and have available
things like water, first aid and rest rooms.

BOUNTIFUL — Bountiful City
Light & Power has a new policy in
place to facilitate renewable energy
production.
The policy, formally approved this
week by the city council, establishes a
net metering policy, which allows the
local utility to bill customers on their
net electrical energy usage. That becomes critical for residents with renewable energy equipment, such as
solar panels. The policy takes effect
immediately.
Earlier this month, the state Public Service Commission increased the
amount of credit Utahns who have
their own energy-generating equipment will receive when they upload
excess power to the state’s electrical
grid. Currently only solar generation
would be allowed under existing city
guidelines.
Allen Johnson, director of BCL&P,
said the new policy allows a customer’s meter to run backward during
periods of excess generation and run
forward when the generation is insuf-
ficient for their needs.
Johnson said the net metering
might result in a credit for eligible
homeowners for some months during
the year, which would then be applied
to future months. The utility’s billing
department will handle the credits
manually. Once a year any remaining
credit will be paid to the customer, he
said.
Currently there are no homes with
the meter in place to take advantage
of the new policy, said Mark Athay,
an engineer for BCL&P.
The new BCL&PC policy falls in
line with a state mandate requiring
the state’s power companies to offer
a net metering program.
The policy also outlines the process
for a customer to set his or her own
solar-generating system in place. A
customer will be required to obtain a
conditional-use permit, a building permit and apply for net metering and
pay a connect fee prior to the start of
construction. That fee is $300.
Customers will also be required to
install a meter base and a disconnect
switch-in-line with a bi-directional
meter.

There are conditions:
The dogs must be licensed
therapy dogs and the owner
must be a licensed therapist
and obtain an animal-related
business license in the city.
The city council passed
the ordinance amendment
unanimously on Tuesday. The
change came after resident
Mark Robertson approached
the city council two months
ago because he owns four
therapy dogs for his work as
a licensed therapist. Under
North Ogden’s ordinance, he
was allowed to have only two.
City Attorney Bruce Evans presented the changes
to the city council Tuesday
night. “The amendment does
not address service dogs,
just therapy dogs. Therapy
dogs don’t really help those
with a handicap.”
City Councilman Richard
Harris wanted to make sure
there were no loopholes in
the ordinance. “I think we’re
going to get a lot of folks trying to get dogs.”
Evans said the amendment is pretty clear — the
limit is four therapy dogs,
and the person with the therapy dogs has to be a licensed
social worker or therapist
and prove the dogs are for
the job. Because the owners

Salvation Army volunteers recognized with dinner

OGDEN — Salvation Army
volunteers, many of whom
serve food to the hungry six
days a week, will themselves
be treated to a meal at a recognition dinner next month.
Employees from Labor
Ready in Ogden presented
the Salvation Army with a
$500 check on Thursday to
help with the cost of the dinner for volunteers, who they
say regularly provide the
same people who come to
them for temp work with a
hearty breakfast.
“If someone is going to do
a hard construction job, we
hope they’d have a good meal
in their stomach,” said Joe
Garcia, Labor Ready district
manager, explaining why the
company decided to give the
money to the center.
The recognition dinner for
roughly 300 volunteers will
be held March 19 at St. Joseph Catholic High School.
Junior class students will
staff the event to help pay for
their senior prom, said Salvation Army Major Richard W.
Greene.
“This will be for those who
volunteer year-round to help
accomplish our objectives,”
Greene said. “This donation
will help us to recognize these
volunteers and their efforts.”
The four employees in Labor Ready’s Ogden office also
will volunteer for two days
next week. Two will help with
the Salvation Army’s weekly
Monday dinner and, on Tuesday, two more will serve
breakfast.
Labor Ready provides an
average of 100 jobs for people in Weber County every
day, Garcia said.
Garcia said the company
and the Salvation Army have
been working together for
years now in a dual role to provide jobs and services for those
who need help, but now as both
organizations are trying to keep
up with an increase in need, the
partnership is more necessary
than ever before.

apt to do a good job and get

keep the job,” Greene said.
Greene said more people
are struggling to provide for
themselves and many have
lost their jobs. As a result,
many are now living in their
cars or are banding together to rent small apartments.
Money for food is more difficult to come by, he said.
The Salvation Army in
Ogden traditionally had
served only breakfast on
Mondays through Saturdays,
leaving the needy to rely on
other nonprofits in Ogden
for daily lunch and dinner.
Now, the Salvation Army is
offering a dinner on Monday
nights to keep up.

existing Utah companies to
help those companies grow

O’Malley said.
O’Malley said cutting the
USTAR budget from an original $19.4 million to $10.9 million
will have significant impact.
“In terms of downstream
impact, budget cuts could
make it more difficult for our
researching universities to recruit the kind of high-powered
researchers we’ve been able
to attract to date,” he said.

Bruce Davis, director
of Weber State University’s Davis campus, said his
campus has also seen an increase in enrollment. Many
of the new students are
those who have had their
hours reduced or have been

can become more marketable, he said.

The other question came
out of the idea that two therapists could be living under
the same roof. The ordinance allows for only four
therapy dogs per residence,
not per license, Evans said.
Evans said he conducted
a lot of research on therapy
dogs. “The industry is unregulated in regard to therapy
animals.”
He believes the city is
charting new territory, but
will find success with the ordinance.
Since the therapy dog issue surfaced, several other
residents have voiced concern over the number of
dogs they may have. The
city’s current ordinance now
states there can be no more
than two dogs per residence
unless they live in a zone that
allows kennels or the dogs
are therapy dogs. Puppies
may also be kept for no more
than six months.
Residents have also questioned whether both an
apartment and home in the
same structure could have
two dogs. Evans pointed out
the only case in which that is
viable is if residents are living in a zone that allows for
multifamily or a zone that allows basement apartments.
If not, that idea won’t work.
Evans worked closely
with Robertson to make the
situation work for him.
