Storm Sewer

We have been working with the six agencies (Pleasant View, North Ogden, Ogden, Harrisville, Weber County and UDOT) that put water into the storm water system that makes it way out to the detention basin North of 2700 N. just East of the freeway.

This facility was built in in the late 90's for regional purposes by Weber County to accommodate growth and the storm events.

We have been monitoring this closely now and recently closed the gate to see how much the basin could hold and what it would do.

Here is a picture before...

 Here is the picture after we closed the gate.

I am working currently to get maintenance agreements from the other agencies to help with the maintenance and expansion of its capacity.

This should help with our detention within our existing system along with capacity to hold the water in a storm event to avoid the over flow of the canal along 4000 N. in Farr West where both this canal and the North Ogden Canal meet up West of the freeway.

It is important to note that this basin always has water in it and was constructed with the idea (at least on the original drawing) to be a water feature, and there is no reason it could not be an attractive feature to the future Commercial Development Area just on the South side of this basin.

Cleaning the Right of Way and the Canal

Cleaning out the City right of way in cooperation with the cleaning of the canal.

Humphreys Construction cut down and chipped the trees and we hauled them away.  Working together to save the City MONEY!  Plus, it helps the management of the water in a storm event to hopefully avoid flooding our residents.

The City is under financial obligation to help pay for the maintenance of the canal since we dump storm water into the canal.  

As you can see from the pictures, we cleaned up along the right of way for visibility on the road and uncovered an overgrown storm sewer inlet into the canal.  The water is still running and it has not rained in sometime!

A Charter School is coming to Pleasant View

Pleasant View will soon be home to a Charter School on the North end of Highway 89 on the West side, just below where Pleasant View Dr intersects Highway 89.

Development in Pleasant View!

It is starting to happen!

As I have mentioned before, we have a new Gas Station/convenience store/restaurant/car wash coming to Pleasant View at the North West corner of 2700 N and Rulon White Bl. just in time since UDOT will be installing a median on 2700 N. from the Freeway all the way to Rulon White Bl.  This business in cooperation with the City will be improving Rulon White Bl. to the North to the end of this property.

Since UDOT is moving ahead with the median on 2700 N. making Parkland Bl. a right in and right out only, we have many businesses in that industrial area that will be greatly impacted by the median.  The City has been working diligently with CSM to expedite their development of the property behind their facility and build Rulon White Bl. all the way to the North and intersect Parkland Bl.

Several businesses have come it to start building in the City out in the Stone Field Business Park on the West side of Highway 89 out on the North end.

First we have TJF Heating

Next we have Blue Sun

Last it is Arnold Machinery, in case you need a fork lift, parts or service.

Welcome to all of you!  I am looking forward to the ribbon cutting ceremony!

Pleasant View's Commercial Development Area (CDA)

Here is the map of our Commercial Development Area in a joint venture with Pleasant View City and Farr West City.  It is approximately 80 acres, with Freeway access and visibility along with an improved access off 2700 N. (a UDOT road) by way of a new signalized intersection at the boarder between Pleasant View and Farr West.

It is our hope that this will be a destination to attract retailer (sales tax generators) of all sizes and types, due to the excellent visibility, ease of access and location near the freeway to attract shoppers from up and down the I-15 corridor.

You will notice a large body of water just to the North of the orange area.  This is a regional basin for Pleasant View, North Ogden, UDOT, Weber County, Harrisville and Ogden City which I would like to incorporate into the development and use it as some type of water feature.

These are just a few of things we have been work on for you.

Sincerely,
Mayor Toby Mileski

Police Calls in Pleasant View

Many have asked why our police department is so expensive.
There are several reasons for that:
  1. Service, we are there when you call and without much delay (unless a major incident is going on)
  2. Wages and retirement are expensive for public safety employees (Pleasant View also pays at the top of the scale in Weber County - One is for quality of officers and two is for employee retention)
  3. The number and types of calls, below you will see the calls and type for June and July.

Weber 911

Here is a great news story on our local 911.
This is an independent agency and on your property tax bill.  It is governed by an Administrative Control Board to oversee the day to day operations.  This Board is comprised of seven members, three appointed by the Weber County Commission, a member from Ogden City, a member from Roy City and two appointed by the Weber Area Council of Government (WACOG).  Currently I hold an appointment from WACOG and I am currently the Chairman of the Board.
It is important to know this agency runs on the property taxes it collects and the 911 fees associated with the phone service.
I was recently able to get Morgan County to pay their fair share (just as you Weber County Tax Payers do) and added and additional $285,000 to our revenue.  Bottom line was… I was not willing to subsidize Morgan County at the expense of Weber County!
We have also nearly completed the construction of the new building well within our current budget and have provided the space and resources for those folks to provide top notch 911 service to you!

Sincerely,
Mayor Mileski
