Councilmember Christensen asked if the City had received any significant damage from yesterday’s storm. Mr. Fluhart said a number of trees had fallen. He said there were still problems with traffic signals. He said there were still fallen trees and limbs in yards and parks which needed to be cleaned up. He said approximately $7000 had been spent so far on cleanup.

Councilmember Love asked about the trail where the Olympic rings had been located being blazed by ATV’s. She asked what the City was doing to stop the four wheelers. Mr. Fluhart said the Administration had been working with neighbors, a real estate agent, and a developer who owned property to better secure the area. He said police were patrolling the area more frequently and were attempting to write citations.

Councilmember Love asked if the neighbors knew that if they called the police, they would respond quickly to enforce the law. Mr. Fluhart said that was the intent, but the Police Department was busy and would not always be able to respond quickly.

Councilmember Saxton said a $10,000 bond for the rings had been requested from the Salt Lake Organizing Committee (SLOC). She asked if the bond was still intact or if it had been returned.
