Approaching Winter Storm and Garbage Cans
by Hilarie Orman 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

Forwarded from City of Woodland Hills <noreply(a)everbridge.net> Subject: Approaching Winter Storm and Garbage Cans Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2023 21:47:34 +0000 (UTC) With the approaching storm, please bring your garbage and recycling cans away from the road's edge. There is no parking of vehicles or trailers on any city road or cul-de-sac during or after a storm. As always, use caution going up and down the hill, and if slick or snowing, please have AWD or 4WD and good tires to avoid creating a dangerous situation for yourself and others. Plows will be out before and during the storm. The worse the conditions are, the longer it will take to get to all the roads, as the main roads and arteries are our priority. Please plan accordingly, and as always, be safe.

WH - Snow, Avalanche Danger, and Upcoming Community Events

Please be cautious when walking on the switchback trails, obey signs, and report signs of snow activity to the WH City Offices (801-423-3900) during city office hours or the Sheriff Non-Emergency Number (801-794-3970) after hours. (Read more ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) .) ** WH Needs Fire Hydrant Help ------------------------------------------------------------ Clear your fire hydrants! As per WH Ordinance 5-4-2 ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) , residents have to keep the fire hydrants located on their property clear of debris and snow. Why do I need to keep my fire hydrants clear during the winter? So firefighters can respond quickly to you or your neighbor's structural fires (houses still burn in the winter). Looking for a family / youth group service project? Please pick a fire hydrant and clear an area 3' around the hydrant (with snow being removed to a depth of 8" or less). Thank you for your help in keeping our community safe! ** City Council passed a resolution supporting the Creation of a Safe, Family-Friendly paved trail system ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) throughout Utah ------------------------------------------------------------ Woodland Hills City Council supports investing in constructing high priority, regionally important "active transportation" (i.e., biking and walking) projects throughout the state, with the goal of completing a core backbone of safe and family-friendly active transportation facilities serving communities across Utah. ** WH Ordinance Highlight: Snow in Roads ------------------------------------------------------------ Narrow Roads: Snowplow crews are working hard to keep our roads clear. As time permits, they will also go back to widen roads. Please be patient and courteous as some roads may be narrower than others. We just received our second shipment of salt! Help us not spend more money on city salt by NOT pushing snow from your driveway onto the street. Ordinance 6-1-5 ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) states that you cannot push snow into the road. It also makes the roads slick and potentially dangerous. Please place garbage containers off of roadway: It is unlawful for garbage containers to be placed upon a city street at any time which may interfere with snow removal. ** Salem Hills High School Happenings ------------------------------------------------------------ SHHS Broadway Best 2023 Concert, "Children Will Listen", Feb. 8-9, 7:30pm in the SHHS Auditorium. This concert features the combined SHHS Choirs and Chamber Orchestra, featuring songs from MATILDA, MARY POPPINS, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN, and many more, all sung by a 170-voice choir and accompanied by a dazzling 42-piece orchestra! Purchase tickets here for Feb. 8th ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) or Feb. 9th ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) . ** Looking For Volunteers for WH EM ------------------------------------------------------------ What is EM?

But now we need to clarify that you can't park on the sides of the road (with your tires technically a hair off the asphalt). Although I love the attempt at rule following, this is still no bueno. Why? Because we want to make sure emergency vehicles can get by and according to our current ordinances, vehicles aren't allowed to be parked on not-driveways for more than 8 consecutive hours, nor ever during the hours of 1am to 5am. (Read the entire unabridged ordinance ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) .) What if I choose not to? Then you could get a ticket, or even towed, which would be a bummer. So, instead, let's park on driveways! ** Did you (or anyone else) clear brush on WH property? ------------------------------------------------------------ Help our city receive grant money to help pay for next year's chipper!

Better understand our 2023 budget via pdf, infographic, movie, or written explanation. And read more for more info about a WH resident who is ON TV tomorrow too! ** WH - Truth in Taxation ------------------------------------------------------------ TONIGHT (NB, it was on Tuesday, August 9) WH City Council is holding a Truth in Taxation Meeting. Interested in understanding the 2023 budget or learning more about the teenie tiny tax increase that our city needs to continue functioning? Come join us in person or online starting at 6pm Zoom ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) ID: 418 658 6561 Passcode: WH2022 Busy tonight?

If someone pulls over (or if chains are dragging or anything else sparks) fire would spread rapidly to all our homes. Questions?

2023 City Budget Report
by Hilarie Orman 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Subject: 2023 City Budget Report Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2022 16:32:16 +0000 (UTC) The 2023 City Budget Report from the "Transparency Committee" is at https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:5b82cb5c-9b9b-3f… That version has some decorative graphics that are not included in this text-only rendition of the report. ----- Community of Woodland Hills City Report NOTE: Opinions and information published by the Transparency Committee are not official City positions. They represent the perspective of the Transparency Committee, and of the person(s) quoted or interviewed. While we strive to publish the most accurate information possible, plans and decisions can change quickly as new information is acted upon by City officials. Accordingly, the following information is accurate as of the date of publication, but beyond that time some details may become outdated. Let's look at our 2023 budget. Where can I find the budget to review it? The budget is posted on the city web site. Here's how to access it: Use this direct link to get to the city documents page: https://www.woodlandhills-ut.gov/documents . Once there, click on Woodland Hills City Code and Ordinances and scroll down to Ord. 2022-18 Adopting 2023 Fiscal Year Budget. This is the ordinance adopting the temporary version of our budget, and you'll find its full text in this document. How accurate are our budget numbers? As in any budget, many of the numbers are estimations. For example, we don't find out exactly how many tax dollars we'll receive from the county till well after the end of the fiscal year. So the amount we budget could actually be quite a bit different than what we actually get. There are also a couple of computing errors in this version of the budget that will be corrected before final approval. What factors have caused our biggest expenditures? Three main things have boosted our costs for 2023: . Inflation �� Particularly construction inflation, which can run up to four times the rate of standard consumer inflation. . Roads �� Road repair and maintenance have always been costly. This budget calls for $86,000 in city funds for general road maintenance. . Legal Costs �� Based on trending expenses, the city has budgeted $150,000 for 2023 attorney fees. A portion of those funds will be used in the creation of the Summit Creek development agreement. But the majority of the cost comes from legal action against the city arising from an ongoing neighbor dispute. Will I find city employee salaries in the budget? No. The budget only shows blanket accounts for salaries and wages, and each of those accounts pays for multiple employees. But the salaries of local government employees is considered public information. If you're interested, our city information can be found at this site: https://transparent.utah.gov/ . Is this the final budget? No. It was passed as a temporary budget in order to submit it to the state by the required deadline. However, because the city is requesting a tax increase, we will hold a Truth in Taxation hearing on August 9 at 6:00 PM at the City Center for resident questions and input. City council members will have the chance to respond to that hearing and make changes to the budget before they vote to finalize it. So how much will our property tax increase? There are a couple of ways to look at this question. If we just look at budget numbers, the 2022 budget shows a requested property tax of $790,000 . But to balance the 2023 budget we need $857, 239, which is a tax increase of about $67,000 over last year. [Comment by newslist moderator: a better way to state this is that taxpayers will see their tax increase over last year due to increased valuations AND a very small increase in the tax *rate*.] However, that doesn't show us the whole picture. Here's why: The county charges taxes according to a specific tax rate. And if we use exactly the same tax rate as last year, we actually get more than the $790,000 that was budgeted for 2022. The reason? There are more homes in Woodland Hills now, and many of our homes have increased in value. So now, last year's rate yields $821,278. That means we actually only need a tax increase of about $36,000 to balance the 2023 budget. (This is what Councilman David Pratt explained in a recent email the city sent out.) For each of us as residents, our tax increase will depend on the value of our individual homes. Either way, the Woodland Hills portion of our tax bill will only be a small percentage of the total charged by the county. [Comment by newslist moderator: "small" is usually about 20% to 30%.] Watch this video to get a more detailed look at our budget: It's an 11- minute video giving a line-by-line explanation of our most significant budget items, along with background information about them. You'll find it at this link: https://youtu.be/ofKCHd3WnyI This report and video were produced by Glenn Anderson for the Woodland Hills Transparency Committee.
