-Mayor Bybee and Mr. Eric Householder
-Mayor Bybee and Mr. Householder reviewed the information in the handout “Weber County Storm Water Coalition” and noted that the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement Between Weber County Cities and Weber County for UPDES General Permit must be updated and renewed every 5 years with 2013 being the end of the last agreement.
-With each renewal, each city must provide training for its individual contractors. The training can be provided by each city individual city or can be provided through the coalition. Mayor Bybee thinks it would be more beneficial to have each of the cities work through the coalition.
Who is the Weber County Storm Water Coalition?

responsible for its part of the implementation and funding.

-Mr. Householder said yes.
-Mayor Bybee suggested putting one city in charge.
-Tom Hansen from Washington Terrace: This agreement consolidates the resources in the county. It makes it more
affordable. We should start looking at legislative possibilities for providing safe storm water.

1. Headquarters U.S. Air Force has selected Hill Air Force Base (AFB) to take part of an enterprise-wide
Air Force Encroachment Management Initiative. As part of the initiative, Hill AFB will develop an
Installation Complex Encroachment Management Action Plan (ICEMAP). Marstel-Day, LLC, with
offices in Fredericksburg, VA, has extensive knowledge and experience in such reports and has been
contracted to conduct this study.
2. The ICEMAP will analyze crucial encroachment data as the underpinning for recommendations to
sustain compatible mission and community growth through targeted action steps. The ICEMAP’s goal is
to arrive at solutions and create a joint partnering path beneficial to all stakeholders, both at the
installation and in the neighboring communities.
4. Hill AFB values its relationship with our surrounding communities and recognizes that the
installation’s activities impact the community just as the community’s activities impact the installation.

Recycling is Saving Money
Cities that recycle have, in effect, reduced their disposal costs by $4-5/ton.
According to the EPA, nearly 65% of all plastic and 75% of all paper is being produced from recycled material.
Cost savings to individuals are already estimated to far exceed the recycle fee
