1 AYSVILLE CITY KUTAH S HOMETOWN EST 1850 Mayor Steve A. Hiatt l Coucil Members Susa Lee, Chris Sell, Larry Page, Dave Adams ad Jake Gar CITY EMBRACES THE PROCESS AND ROOM FOR DIFFERENCES: the process is workig ad stable a message from your Kaysville City Maager As I atted cofereces ad iteract with either elected city officials throughout our state or other city maagers, part of our coversatio as we greet each other is almost always a compariso betwee the commuity that they serve ad i my case Kaysville. Ievitably, there are iitial questios about what s ew i my commuity or theirs ad what either oe of us may have read about the other i the prit or broadcast ews media. May times these are opportuities to tease each other about recet happeigs or cotroversies i our respective cities. Deep dow there may be a compariso goig o as part of these coversatios. Perhaps, whe thigs are t goig as well as they could, a setimet of misery loves compay might prevail o either side. If we are hoest with ourselves, i Kaysville we curretly have a challegig dyamic at the city coucil level. There are may issues upo which our elected officials do ot agree. Disagreemet, i ad of itself, is ot a bad thig. It is actually most ofte a very effective ad productive thig. I have bee part of cities where elected leaders were ucomfortable with 3-2 votes, feelig like they somehow failed if somethig did ot pass uaimously. I do t believe this is the case or curret feelig i Kaysville. A majority vote, 3-2 or 4-1, is just as powerful as 5-0 i passig our local legislatio. 3-2 votes usually brig about the most robust discussio ad allow coucils ad the mayor the opportuity to get ito the true cotiued page 2 You are ivited to Kaysville s Aual Fire Prevetio OPEN HOUSE Kaysville Fire Departmet 175 South Mai Street 6:00-8:00 pm Come joi i the festivities. fire egie rides, tours of a medical helicopter, public safety iformatio ad more WED OCT 11 Hope to see you there!

4 Stormwater What is stormwater? It is the water from storms, i the form of rai or sowmelt, which flows oto hard surfaces ad ito the storm drai, comprised of a udergroud pipe system, called the collectio system. The water flows i the pipes where it will outfall to a creek or wetlad. Why is stormwater importat? Before cars ad vehicles, there were o streets, parkig lots or driveways, or was there a eed to pave or create may hard, impervious surfaces for these vehicles to drive o. The roads that did exist were mostly dirt ad pervious surfaces, so whe the rai hit the groud it was absorbed or ra to the side of the road where it was quickly absorbed ito the groud. Now, with all of the developmet that has take place, water hits cocrete ad asphalt surfaces ad, rather tha absorbig, it collects. As water flows over these hard surfaces, it picks up dirt, grass clippigs, trash, oils, chemicals ad other debris. Ad oce they are picked up by the stormwater, debris is discharged directly ito the earest creek or wetlad. ab ab So ow you ask, Kaysville City discharges stormwater to four primary places: Kays Creek, Holmes Creek, Bair Creek ad the west border of the Nature Coservacy. Get your mid i the gutter, let s keep it clea. ab ab What ca I do to help keep stormwater clea? Here are a few simple thigs that you ca do to help us keep stormwater clea: Keep the gutter clea i frot of your house (sweep do t spray). Blow or sweep grass clippigs back oto the grass. Wash the car o the law or at a commercial car wash. Keep trash picked up, ad the lids closed o the dumpsters. Pick up pet waste ad dispose of i the trash. Adjust your spriklers so they oly water the ladscape. Fix or stop ay oil/ fluid leaks to your vehicles ad dispose of all fluids ad parts properly. The gutter is ot a place to wash paitbrushes, mop buckets, or aythig else. Keep trash piles or other storage piles off hard surfaces that would allow water to flow to the street. What is the City doig to protect stormwater? Cleaig the collectio system Ispectig all costructio sites to esure they are doig their part Sweepig the roads Keepig city-owed facilities i check Actively ivolved with the Davis Couty Stormwater Coalitio Traiig ad educatio Plaig ad costructig projects that improve stormwater quality PHOTO CONTEST Kaysville City, Utah l City Ceter 23 East Ceter Street l l Help Wated KAYSVILLE CITY WANTS TO COMMUNICATE BETTER.
