ALLEN JOHNSON 31 Mr. Allen Johnson gave the Council an update on the Carbon-Free Power Project. He 32 presented the history of the project, the need for another source of carbon-free power generation, the 33 project’s proposed schedule, the City’s current position and upcoming decisions. The Council and 34 Mayor asked questions about how the funding and refunding processes would work if the project is 35 not viable at any point along the timeline. They asked Mr. Johnson about the likelihood of getting 36 enough subscribers on board and about how nuclear power compares in cost to other types of 37 renewable energy sources. Mr. Johnson also explained the discontinuation of the Joint Use Module 38 Project (JUMP) program and what that means for the participants moving forward. He said that the 39 next off-ramp available for the City will be in October 2020 and he will bring this item back to 40 Council in September for their vote on that matter. If the Council decides to take that off-ramp, the 41 $654,000 that has been paid so far will not be refunded. The next off-ramps will be in May 2023, and 42 then in December 2025 before construction begins. Councilman Higginson acknowledged that this is 43 a big decision and applauded Mr. Johnson and the Power Commission for being so proactive in 44 finding new energy sources and positioning the City to be at the forefront of good energy practices. 45 46 The work session was ended at 6:58 p.m. 47 Page 1 of 5 3 (City Council minutes July 28, 2020) 1 Regular Meeting – 7:00 p.m. 2 South Davis Metro Fire Station Conference Room 3 4 Mayor Lewis called the meeting to order at 7:02 p.m. and welcomed those in attendance. Mr. 5 Mike Mayfield led the Pledge of Allegiance and Ms. Paige Mayfield, a youth ambassador for “Better 6 Days 2020” and a junior at Bountiful High School, offered a thought. 7 Ms. Mayfield explained that the 150th anniversary of Utah women voting under the Equal 8 Suffrage Act is being celebrated this year, and the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment to the 9 United States Constitution which granted all women the right to vote. She said that Utah has led the 10 way in voting, noting that Seraph Young was the first woman to cast a ballot in 1870. She talked 11 about Dr. Martha Hughes Cannon, the first female state senator in the nation who served in Utah. 12 Mrs. Cannon beat her husband in 1896 to win a seat. Ms. Mayfield also spoke about Zitkála-Šá, a 13 Native American suffragist, activist, writer and musician who moved to Utah in 1903 and worked on 14 native suffrage issues. Zitkála-Šá also wrote the music and libretto for the Sun Dance opera about 15 Native issues. Ms. Mayfield said “I’m honored to live in Bountiful where we strive to hear women’s 16 voices and native voices.” She presented the Council with a Utah Heritage Box City Toolkit on 17 behalf of “Better Days 2020”, which includes buttons, posters and a banner and expressed her 18 appreciation for being allowed to present to them today. 19 20 PUBLIC COMMENT 21 The public comment section was started at 7:07 p.m. 22 23 Ms. Susan Becker (1188 East 1650 South) asked the Council to please review and update the 24 City Planning Code. Her neighbor was permitted to build an 18-foot tall cinderblock wall right on the 25 property line in order to level their property to build a pickle ball court. She feels this should be 26 reviewed since all other structures and fences have height and setback limitations in the Code. She 27 and her husband are considering moving out of their home because it is undesirable to live there now 28 and their property value has gone down. The other consideration she wished to make the Council 29 aware of is that the wall was built right on top of a sewer easement, which they received a waiver to 30 do. She worries that the sewer line will now be inaccessible if there is an emergency. 31 32 Ms. Angie Smith (1659 South 1175 East) also asked the Council to change the Planning 33 Codes. She fears that her neighbors will be allowed to do the same thing to her property line if the 34 problem isn’t fixed now. She brought a photograph to show Council what the cinderblock wall looks 35 like. She also asked Council to please find a solution to the parking problem along 1150 South by 36 Celebration Field. She said most months of the year there are cars parked on both sides of the street 37 which makes for a very narrow, dangerous street with poor visibility. 38 39 Mr. Carl Moore (Peaceful Advocates for Native American Dialogue) said he wished to 40 address the use of the Brave as Bountiful High School’s mascot. He said that using indigenous people 41 as mascots relegates indigenous people back in time and informs today’s culture that native people 42 are only natives if they look and act like this image that has been created of them.

    2020-2021 Region V ACTIVITIES MANUAL Region V Bountiful Braves Bonneville Lakers Box Elder Bees Farmington Phoenix Viewmont Vikings Woods Cross Wildcats “It has been said that athletics challenge the body, mind, and spirit. They bring out the best in people, because athletic competition engenders characteristics, dedication, determination, awareness, self-confidence, cooperation, and sensitivity to self and others. In Region V, we believe the very same principles apply to academics. Learning requires the same degree of energy and commitment as competitive sports, and yields comparable benefits for the individual. Because of this, we think athletics and learning go hand in hand to help the individual man or woman discover and realize their true potential in life.” Region V Activities Manual 2020-2021 --Anonymous The high schools of Region V recognize the important role that co-curricular activities and athletics play in the full development of a young person. As in all areas of our schools, Region V high schools are committed to the equitable opportunities for all young men and young women in activities and athletic programs. Activities and athletic programs are designed to be a complement to the academic programs and pursuits of young people. We hope that the self-discipline, commitment, teamwork and training of the mind and body in the arenas of the playing field and stage will effect similar skill development and success in the classroom. We believe that when structured and pursued with proper balance and perspective, athletics and activities can play a key and positive role in shaping the hearts and minds of our young people.

  • Fremont High School Student-Athlete Named Gatorade® Utah Boys Basketball Player of the Year
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [email protected] FREMONT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT-ATHLETE NAMED GATORADE® UTAH BOYS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR CHICAGO (March 26, 2020) — In its 35th year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, today announced Dallin Hall of Fremont High School as its 2019-20 Gatorade Utah Boys Basketball Player of the Year. Hall is the first Gatorade Utah Boys Basketball Player of the Year to be chosen from Fremont High School. The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Hall as Utah’s best high school boys basketball player.
