E. Presentations:

1. Statement of Support of the National Guard and Reserve

Weber County Sheriff Brad Slater introduced William Wrappley with Employer Support of the
Guard and Reserve (ESGR). Mr. Wrappley recognized and introduced many that were present.
Scott Baker, ESGR’s Employer Outreach Representative, outlined some of the rights we have as
Americans noting that our country has some men and women putting their lives on the line to
protect those rights. Approximately 40% of those protecting us are members of the National
Guard or of a Reserve Unit and when they get called up one of the entities affected is the
employer. Mr. Baker noted that when a reservist from the Sheriff’s Office gets called up it takes
an officer away that was protecting the community. ESGR tries to identify those companies that
hire Guardsmen and Reservists to ensure they understand regulations that pertain to these men and
women and honors them. In this case, the ESGR identified the Sheriff’s Office and the way they
take care of their family in the Reserves, going above and beyond the requirements.

Mr. Wrappley stated that today we were witnessing the pledge of that support with the signing of
a “5-Star” Statement of Support as well as receiving the Above and Beyond Award by the Weber
County Sheriff’s Office. Retired Brigadier General James G. Martin congratulated Sheriff Slater,
invited him to sign the “5-Star” Statement, and presented him with the Above and Beyond Award.
Less than 1% of employers of Guardsmen and Reservists in the U.S. have achieved this level of
recognition by the Department of Defense. Sheriff Slater stated that these men and women come
back with additional training, knowledge, and discipline and excelled in their regular jobs. He
thanked the Commission for supporting the men and women of the Sheriff’s Office who also wear
the uniform for the military. Chair Dearden commended the Sheriff for helping these men and
women in the military.

 2. Presentation of Kevin Burton, new Captain at County’s Correction Facility

Weber County Sheriff Brad Slater recognized Kevin Burton in his advancement to Captain.
Sheriff Slater thanked Captain Burton’s wife, Patty, for her support. Captain Burton expressed
appreciation for the support he has received from his office.

3. Presentation on 2006 Governor’s Quality Growth Award of Merit for Planning
Design

Jim Gentry, County Planning Department, stated that this year the Recreation Element project of
the Ogden Valley General Plan had won an award at the Utah Governor’s Quality Growth
Commission where they recognized exemplary projects and communities that keep Utah beautiful,
prosperous and neighborly for future generations. Commissioner Cain said it was wonderful that
the award had been noted by the Governor, Quality Growth, and Envision Utah because something
great had been done for the citizens of Weber County and it was something to be proud of. The
three commissioners thanked Mr. Gentry and Kevin Hamilton for their efforts.
