2. Request to put a street light at 4700 W. 2200 S. in Taylor, Weber County, UT

Nate Pierce, County Operations Director, referred to a petition from a few residents in the vicinity of
4700 West 2200 South requesting a street light. Mr. Pierce stated that a policy or directive needed to
be put in place regarding street light installation. Weber County currently had 107 street lights in the
unincorporated areas, leased 51 of the poles from Rocky Mountain Power, and owned 56 poles.

Weber County Sheriff Brad Slater noted that 4700 W. was State Road 134 and wondered if UDOT
would be willing to put the light in. He stated that 2200 S. was no longer a dirt lane servicing fields
but was a paved roadway servicing subdivisions. It was an entry to a highway and had increased
traffic, there was a significant number of school children in the area, and it was becoming a safety
concern. He added that lighted neighborhoods helped reduced crime. Mr. Pierce will contact
UDOT and notify neighbors for input, and he will then present the findings to the Commission who
will work toward establishing a procedure. The Sheriff’s Office will be included in these
discussions because of the safety concerns.

LSN 23-020-0002; LSN 23-020-0003

property owner between these two parcels desired to bid on them and Mr. Pierce said that his first
option would be to negotiate a sale.
Commissioner Dearden moved to declare surplus LSN 23-020-0002 and LSN 23-020-0003;
Commissioner Zogmaister seconded, all voting aye.

which time the county would be reimbursed.
