Mayor’s Message

Hello again, Good South Weber Residents,

It is finally finished! The crowning

piece of our South Weber digital

sign was just placed, and after 3

years of construction, the digital

sign is finally complete! Thanks so much to Mike and Jill Bastian

and family for donating the beautiful metal plates atop the digital

sign that reads, “South Weber City, Settled 1851.” This good family

joins the countless number of residents who have donated time,

resources, and supplies to make this sign possible. I feel so blessed

to be a part of such an awesome community. Thank you all!

Our City Engineer is working with UDOT to make the lines on this bridge more bicycle and pedes-

trian friendly. It’s nice to see the construction of so many needed projects come to fruition. You

saw the construction of curb & gutter and sidewalk on the south side of South Weber Dr. across

from Sky Haven Cove, and now we’re working on completing the curb & gutter and sidewalk on

the north side of South Weber Dr. just east of 475 E. These projects are to be completed prior to

UDOT’s mill and overlay of South Weber Drive. Please take the time to drive slowly and cautious-

ly through these construction zones, as safety is South Weber City’s #1 priority!

And, finally, a word on our property tax increase. Thanks to all of you who have taken time to

review the many reasons the City has laid out on social media, the City Website, and in our

monthly newsletter to justify the increase. Please feel free to contact David Larson, our City

Manager, me your Mayor, or any of the City Council Members with any questions or concerns

you might have. We will also present the information at an open house on July 16, and we will

have a Truth in Taxation Hearing on Aug. 13. This is a painful subject and a very difficult decision

for any council to make; an action that is never popular and often contentious. And yet, all six

members of the Council feel obligated and compelled to take a stand and stop the downward

slide. Such a unified Council is a strong indication of the dire necessity for such an increase.

Don’t forget to register for Country Fair Days! I hope you are all having an awesome summer!

- Mayor Jo

Fire Department

Please adhere to the special fireworks restrictions for

our city. You can find the restrictions map on our Fa-

cebook page as well as the city’s website.

There were no changes from last year and it will be strictly enforced by the Sheriff’s office. Please be safe when discharging any type of firework and remember that a few minutes of fun can quickly turn into inju-ries that perhaps last a lifetime. The State mandates the legal time period for sales and discharging of fireworks and there have been strict measures taken for enforcement by all local law enforcement agencies.

All vehicles staying longer than 24 hours will be required to have a permit that can be issued with approval of the city.
