Community Announcements

Fire Station #3 – Matt Davy

This month’s message is earthquake preparedness. They would not be able to respond as usual. Suggests a 96 hr kit in every home because it takes FEMA about 96 hours to get in to help and local resources would not be able to help. More at SLCFIRE.com

Great shake up drill in hospitals and other agencies.

District 7 CIU Detective – Cooper Landvatter

Not much to report. Citywide aggravated assaults are up. Car prowls are still an issue. Spread word with neighbors Silver Expedition with paper over plate, please call.

Lighting in neighborhoods is an issue, but it’s a challenging balance. The best solution is to keep a clean car. Don’t hang earbuds over mirror or leave wallet in console (very common). People don’t think it will happen to them.

On schedule, and will be turned over to U of U in August. About to pave roads. A lot is happening quickly. First week of May building three breaks ground.

Thanked residents for patience.

Jani Iwamoto – District 4 Senator

Update on legislative session. Water bank bill is a way for farmers wo put their water rights up for “rent” without losing them. They can make money in the process. Campus Safety Bill is getting support.

Who is responsible for maintenance? UDOT vs Local. All bridges that carry a state road the state is responsible. If it carries a local road, the local authority maintains the pavement portion.

They shared slides on maintenance responsibility. It is clearly complicated and there are exceptions.
