Mayor's Message Bringing our Community Together

W

e hope you enjoy the inaugural launching of this monthly Roy City magazine. Each month we will provide information on the City’s community events, projects, need to know information, and residents who are making a difference. Our goal is to bring awareness to our community on important issues and programs. We appreciate local businesses taking advantage of advertising opportunities through this publication. This is one of many efforts we are working, let me share a few more!

Recently Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) began the Environmental Assessment on 5600 South that will hopefully address a major traffic issue within the City. In August they held a public meeting and requested resident’s input to this 15-month study. We will keep you informed as it progresses.

"We appreciate local businesses taking advantage of advertising opportunities through this publication."

You may have noticed we are working on the George Wahlen North Park with a plan to complete by year’s end with a re-dedication ceremony forthcoming. The enhancements within the park will provide a wonderful addition to our community. Once completed, we will be addressing and enhancing Municipal Park, which stands in need of improvements.

Business development is an important objective for the City and we are working a number of opportunities. I’m not in a position to provide too many details at this time, but know we are doing what we can to fill those empty store fronts. We are working to update our General Plan which will include ways to help modernize our Business District along 1900 West and develop our Frontrunner Station. Additional public input is welcomed!

Recently, a number of City Council meetings have been addressing changes in the recycling industry. Nationwide deviations in recycling requirements have reached all the way to Roy City as we contemplate the future of this program. Clearly with tighter contamination requirements, necessary inspections and the associated need of additional sorting, those of us who recycle will be expected to pay more. Latest projections indicate an additional $1.23 per month. It is important that you consider whether or not you want to continue your involvement in the City’s recycling program. More information is forthcoming on your ability to opt-out of the program, if you so choose.

Through input from concerned residents, UDOT has made and is in the process of changing a couple of intersections within the City. We now have a new stoplight located on 4300 West and 5500 South. A project has been submitted to reconfigure the intersection of 1900 West and 4000 South, which has been the scene of too many accidents. We are waiting for the environmental assessment to be completed along 4800 South at the railroad crossing, so that improvements there can be started.

I will have more to share with you through the upcoming months and will use this local magazine to help do that. Please stay connected and involved in local government. Your issues are our issues! Please shop local! Our business owners are our partners and we need to help keep them here!

-Robert Dandoy, Mayor

ROY CONNECTION // October 2018 3

from the Editor We are so pleased to be working with Roy City to bring you this new and improved community newsletter. We are Connection Publishing, a local company that helps create magazines for local cities.

Our team is a great group of people who really value working in and for local communities. As our name suggests, our goal is to create more connection for you and your City. This is a launch version of our magazine which is about half the size of our typical magazines, which will be 32 pages or more.

In order to reach that size and bring you a fun and useful magazine, we need your help. First of all, we want to tell the positive stories of Roy, the history, the unique offerings, the achievements of the residents and more. This magazine will contain all your City news, replacing your current newsletter, plus a community calendar, we will highlight students of the month, local businesses, and history. We will also have a recipe or two each month, along with great places to go, see or experience. How can you Melissa and Ryan Spelts help? For one, we want to know the stories both present and past that you know. Please reach out to us and tell us your stories so we can put them in print (No writing experience required). We also need advertisers. This magazine is a big undertaking and requires advertisers to fund it. Please tell your friends that own or work for businesses that serve this community about this new way to advertise. We are a phone call or email away and would love to hear from you. You can also follow us online at www.royconnection.com or facebook.com/royconnection.

CIT Y NEWS

City of Roy Updates WE ALL LIVE DOWNSTREAM This is a friendly reminder that discharging or washing antifreeze, motor oil, gasoline, paints, solvents, fertilizers and cement into the storm drain system is illegal. Antifreeze is also attractive and harmful to animals. Please dispose of hazardous materials in the proper manner and place. The Weber County Solid Waste Transfer Station, 801-399-8358, may be contacted for information on hazardous material disposal.

Roy City would like to thank the citizens who have assisted with storm water drainage by clearing leaves and debris from the gutters and the storm drain grates. Citizens can be a big help in the winter months also by clearing snow and ice away from the grates until the city crews arrive to clear them.

Please sweep up or use a blower to blow grass clippings and fertilizers that get onto driveways, sidewalk, and gutters or streets back onto your own lawn.

Please call Roy City Public Works before draining backyard pools. Chlorine levels need to be at 0 before the pool can be drained.

The Roy City storm water system runs through the Meadow Creek fishing pond. This water is vital to the pond and must be kept clean.

Please dispose of grass clippings, pet waste, paint, fertilizers, tree leaves and seeds etc., properly and help keep our city streets as well as streams and rivers clean.

What Kind of Contaminants Might Reach Our Rivers and Streams?

• Contaminants resulting from unwise landscaping practices such as over watering might include: dirt, leaves, grass clippings, fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides.

• Masonry and Paving: Fresh concrete and cement-related mortars that wash into lakes, rivers, and streams are toxic to fish and the aquatic environment. Disposing of these materials to storm drains or streams causes serious problems - and prohibited by law!

• Oil: Pour waste oil into an unbreakable container (plastic milk jug), seal and label. Do not mix other materials with oil. Call 801399-8381 or 1-800-458-0145 for disposal.

Please contact the Roy City Public Works Department to report violations at (801)744-1090 or (801)774-1098, if it is after hours please call Weber Dispatch at 801-629-8221. Our current storm water ordinance is on our website at www.royutah.org.

Irrigation Season Wrap-Up The 2018 secondary water season was certainly…interesting. Many of our customers learned the importance of filter maintenance due to an unwelcome visit to our system by clam shrimp. Because secondary water is untreated river water, naturally occurring aquatic and plant life is to be expected, although this year we saw an unusually high amount of the former. This is where regular filter maintenance becomes crucial, much like the filters you change in your furnace or vehicle.

While 95% or more of the connections in our system have a filter (usually by the gate valve), a lot of property owners are not aware it exists, that it is their responsibility to maintain, or how to clean it. Please take the time to locate your gate valve and filter, both of which are the property owner’s responsibility to maintain and repair. If the filter is dirty, remove it, take it apart, and clean it out completely. We have videos on our website at www.roywater.com/videos.php showing how to do this for 4 different kinds of filters.

Our employees are also very helpful and knowledgeable and willing to help locate your filter if you are unable to find it – just call our office at 801-825-9744 and we can schedule a time to meet.

Although we will be taking all the precautions we can to prevent clam shrimp and algae from taking up residence in our water lines next year, we have no control over the quality of water we receive from the reservoirs and river. With that in mind, it would be a good idea to get familiar with your filter as soon as you can!

Due to current drought conditions in our area, secondary water was turned off on October 1st this year. Depending on the Weber River drainage basin snowfall in the higher elevations this winter, secondary water supplies may experience a similar shutdown or other reductions in 2019. Many of you have done a great job conserving water, but we can all do our part to conserve a very precious resource. Thank you! Roy Water Conservancy District ROY CONNECTION // October 2018 5

WHAT IS CODE RED? The Public Safety agencies of Weber County are using CodeRED, a high speed mass notification system to keep you safe in the event of an emergency. They System allows us to deliver emergency messages to you via phone call to your landline or mobile device and through text and email. You will know you have received a codeRED alert when the number 866-4195000 appears on your caller ID. If you missed any message details you can always dial the toll free number back, as many times as you needed Sign Up Your Cell Phone and Receive Code Red Mobile Alerts Did you know that it is free to sign up your cell phone for codeRED? It is also very important to do, because if your contact information is not in the database, or if you do not have a landline phone in your home, then you will not receive alerts if an emergency were in your area.

Our Alert system utilizes telephone numbers that are landline based. If you do not have a land line telephone, you will not receive a notification. By registering your cell phone, the mapping program will geographically code you cell phone to the address of your residence, or work location. You will be able to tell the map where you want your cell phone to be tied to.

Go to https://public.coderedweb.com/CNE/11B885E194B7 ** If you need assistance to register your cell phone with CodeRED, or if you have questions please contact Weber County Emergency management at: 801-778-6686.

ROYCTC

COMMUNITIES THAT CARE

The Roy CTC Coalition is a caring community coalition that harnesses resources to support all youth by engaging families, schools and the community through education and connectedness.

The Roy Communities that Care (CTC) Coalition believes that together we can be one town, one team, one dream through creating and fostering a safe, healthy, and prosperous place to live, work, and play. Our community is a supportive place to raise a child, to be a child, to promote responsible and involved citizenship and to encourage lifelong learning. Included in the coalition are parents, grandparents, religious leaders, school personnel, law enforcement, local government, youth, healthcare, and youth serving organizations.

The Roy CTC is hoping to have a tremendous impact on the community by using the evidence based coalition model of Communities that Care (CTC). The Social Development Research Group from the University of Washington has research showing that youth from communities that implement CTC were 25% - 33% less likely to have health and behavior problems than youth from control communities.

SPECIFICALLY:

25% LESS LIKELY to have initiated delinquent behaviors

35% LESS LIKELY to have initiated the use of alcohol

The coalition helps every aspect of the community, especially the youth. Reducing substance use, suicide rates, and other risk behaviors beneďŹ ts everyone. Studies from the Social Development Research Group shows that CTC is a great investment. For every dollar invested in CTC, $5.31 is returned in the form of lower criminal justice system, crime victim, and healthcare costs, and increased earnings and tax revenues. More importantly, if the coalition can help save one life by teaching individuals in our community to know how to recognize if someone is suicidal and how to intervene, or prevent a youth in our community form going down the road to addiction, it will be well worth it.

How can people help? Get involved! The coalition’s success is dependent on local residents getting involved. There are opportunities for all levels of commitment whether it be serving on the Community Board, a work-group, or helping at an event.

BE THE CHANGE...

33%LESS LIKELY to have initiated cigarette use

The coalition is in the process of completing a community assessment to identify community concerns, strengths and what resources are available.

Priority Risk/Protective Factors: Suicide Related Indicators, Early Initiation of Antisocial Behaviors, Interaction with Prosocial Peers, Rewards for Pro-social Involvement.

Risk Behaviors: 1. Depression and Hopelessness 2. Underage Drinking 3. E-Cigarettes With this information, we will be developing our strategic plan based on the results of the assessment to implement evidence based prevention programs and strategies in our community.

Recycle Rate Increase The Roy City Council has approved a monthly rate increase of $1.23 for recycle, effective November 1, 2018.

They arrived in Riverdale in October and William immediately took on the role of being the man of the family and found a farm they could rent. It is so amazing to me how families worked together then to create a home from nothing, everyone pitched in.

ATTENTION! ARE YOU ON MEDICARE?

S YOUR PLAN COSTING YOU TOO MUCH? IS YOUR PLAN STILL THE RIGHT PLAN FOR YOU? The wrong plan can cost you plenty of money even if the plan has a $0 premium.

The 2018 Annual Open Enrollment Period is from October 15th through December 7th. During this window, you have the opportunity to switch your plan if needed. Because Medicare has so many parts, and can often be confusing, expert advice is helpful to make sure you have the lowest overall cost.

You can choose from Medicare Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D. Original Medicare consists of: Part A - Hospital Insurance, and Part B - outpatient and physician services. Part C combines Parts A & B and usually offers more benefits. Most also have a Part D component which is prescription drug coverage.

Unfortunately, Original Medicare can leave you at considerable financial risk but there are ways to lessen your personal financial risk. One of these is through a Medicare supplement and standalone prescription drug plan(Part D). This can limit your out of pocket expenses, but there are substantial premiums associated with Medicare Supplements, sometimes called Medigap, and standalone prescription drug plans.

Another solution to help control costs is Medicare Advantage. It combines Part A and Part B and usually Part D and is administered through private health insurance companies. Some have

low premiums and can sometimes even have $0 premiums. These plans are typically offered by Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO’s) or Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO’s). This means that they have a network of providers that accept their insurance. If you go outside the network, you will most likely pay more.

These plans are required by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), to cover all the same benefits that Original Medicare covers.

However, they may also cover additional benefits.

These benefits can include dental, vision, transportation, and wellness benefits such as a gym membership, acupuncture and more.

Medicare Advantage Plans also usually include prescription drug benefits.

As you can see, Medicare can be very confusing.

Making a correct decision concerning your Medicare plan is critical. By choosing the correct plan you can save yourself hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year. On the other hand, choosing the wrong plan may cost you.

I will review your needs and figure out which plan will best serve your needs. My biggest goal is to help you find the plan that will result in the lowest out-of-pocket expense. The best part is my services cost you $0. I am paid by the insurance companies, so no charge to you.
