140' X 20' parcel located at approximately 1550 Douglas Street
#04-022-0017
#04-022-0016

Nate Pierce, County Operations Department Director, asked that the above items listed with land serial numbers be removed from today’s agenda. They will be handled when legal descriptions are finalized.

In 1995 a strip of Weber County property, on the east end (south side) of Douglas Street consisting of about 140' X 20', was sold to the abutting property owner to the west. At that time, Wilford & Genine Hale had identified a similar parcel to purchase on the north side of the street, however, the Hales did not conclude the sale due to extenuating circumstances. Mr. Hale has now approached the county desiring to purchase the property. The county has no future need or intended use of this property, which is not developable. Mr. Pierce said that the one condition the county would require of this property owner is to do a lot line adjustment and incorporate this property into his existing parcel.
Commissioner Dearden moved to declare surplus the 140' X 20' parcel located at approximately 1550 Douglas Street; Commissioner Zogmaister seconded, all voting aye.

5. Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of Weber County to execute an agreement establishing the Weber County Justice court and Municipal Affiliates as part of the Roy Justice Court - Resolution 13-2010

6. Interlocal Agreement with Roy City for Justice Court Services - Contract C2010-56

Reed Richards, Deputy County Attorney, addressed the two above items. He stated that the volume of the County’s Justice Court cases has been significantly decreasing for a number of years, due in part to Ogden City setting up its own justice court a few years ago. This item affects the affiliated municipalities that use the county’s justice court (such as Hooper, West Haven and Huntsville).

This contract represents negotiations that have been taking place for about a year with Roy City, which will operate a separate division in Roy City to handle cases from the county and the affiliated municipalities. Mr. Richards noted that there has been discussion to have satellite locations. The contract is effective April 1. Roy City will keep 50% of the fines for operating the court and the county and municipalities will get 50% of the fines for doing prosecution work. Mr. Richards stated that this was the uniform system used throughout the State. His ideal solution for the county would be to have one master justice court that incurred all the expenses and divided those equitably.
Commissioner Dearden moved to adopt Resolution 13-2010 approving Contract C2010-56, Interlocal Agreement with Roy City for Justice Court Services; Commissioner Zogmaister seconded.
