Our Condolences to the family of Jay Roylance
|
|
It is with great sadness that we report of the passing of lifelong resident Jay Roylance...
Gail Ahlstrom stated, "Jay served our community for several years as the caretaker of the Huntsville Landfill. He was an excellent employee and was a welcome and friendly face to all who visited the landfill. We hope he and Jeff enjoyed it as much as our citizens enjoyed seeing them. We will certainly miss his contagious smile and his willingness to help all those that he could."
Our sincere condolances go out to Jay's family.

Ron Gault Honored as Citizen of the Year
|
During the town employee Christmas party, Ron Gault was honored as the “Citizen of the Year.” Ron has continually and unselfishly served the town since 1994 as a member of the planning commission, Town Council and he currently serves as the Chair of the Planning commission. Ron also wrote the town ordinances a few years ago and has written several grant requests that have resulted in funds well in excess of $100,000.
We are fortunate to have Ron on our team as he is extremely busy, working two jobs in addition to his town gig. When not briefing Generals at the Pentagon, he is busy working for the residents of Huntsville.
One of Ron’s greatest attributes is that of humility. When being presented the award, Ron was visibly embarrassed of the limelight, but we can assure you that no one in the last 20 years has been more deserving. Thank you Ron!

Ogden Valley Justice Court
|
Ogden Valley Justice Court coming to Huntsville Town in early 2011.
As you know, Huntsville Town used to have a Justice Court for violations written in Huntsville Town. Due to fewer citations being issued, the Huntsville Justice Court was disbanded in 2009 since the court was losing money.
Early in 2010, Weber County allowed Roy City to take over the Weber County Justice Court system for the greater Weber County areas. Since then, Huntsville has been working with Roy officials to create an extension of the Roy City Justice Court which would be located in the Huntsville Town Hall.
When complete, any violations written in Huntsville Town, unincorporated Huntsville, Eden, Liberty and Ogden Canyon will no longer have to travel to Roy to pay or dispute a violation. Instead, these violations will be handled in Huntsville at the newly created extension of the Roy Justice court.
This will accommodate all who reside in the Ogden Valley.
There are many details to still work out, and we look forward to continuing to work with Roy’s Mayor Richie and his staff early in 2011. We also are looking forward to a great partnership with Roy City, Weber County, and Weber County Sheriff’s Department to make this transition a very smooth one.
This is truly a win for the residents of Ogden Valley and Huntsville Town.
More to come. We will keep you posted.
