This document is posted to help you gain knowledge. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think about it! Share it to your friends and learn new things together.
My name is Craig Northup and I have been chosen to be your new Woodland Hills Fire Chief. I would like say what an honor this
is. I also realize that I have some big shoes to fill from all of the Chiefs before me. Val Wilding, being the most recent, did some wonderful
things for this city and has now taken the role of Medical Training Officer. I would like the residents to know that we are very fortunate to
have the medical staff that we do. The training and knowledge they possess is some of the best in the county. But the most important thing
is, they care about the residents and love what they do.
Thanks you guys
I am excited to announce that I have chosen
Clint Mower to be Assistant Chief and Tyler Weddle to
be our Fire Training Officer. The two of them will bring
so much energy and many ideas to the team. The very
wise Mac Baldwin will remain Station Captain.
Although the Fire Chief has changed, our goals
as a department have not. Our top priority is to help you
as quickly and as safely as possible in times of need. I
always like how Val would say “If we can make a
difference in someone’s life in that time of need, then
we have succeeded.” We also have been concentrating
on fire prevention and fire preparedness. These are very
important tasks that were initiated by the fire department
but carried out by the residents. Most of you are familiar
with the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP)
and the amount of brush that was removed from the city
in the spring. Thank you for responding to the task. This
is the kind of help we need to make our city a safer place
to live. This will remain a top priority for the fire
department and fire council.
If you have anything that we can do to help,
please feel free to contact me or let any one of our
department members know and we will take it into
consideration. We are here for the residents and we
enjoy what we do. I would also like to publicly thank all
the members of the departments within the city that have
donated their valuable time to train and respond to the
needs of others.
Please remember that we are moving into the
driest time of the year. We have been fortunate to receive the quantity and perfect timing of our rainfall this year. Let’s not let our guard
down. Please get familiar with our brush ordinance (go to http://woodlandhillsutah.org/, city standards, Public Safety, Chapter 3, pages 6-9)
and make sure your property is in compliance. IF YOU SMELL SMOKE CALL 911. The quicker we get on the fire the better chance we
have. Thank you for your time and have a great day.

Proposed Salt Storage Building by Councilman Fisher
Salt is a necessary evil in Woodland Hills. It is essential to keeping our roads open in the winter but it is a challenge to handle. Over
the last three years we have used an average of about 400 tons per year.
Our current approach of stockpiling salt along the access road from Woodland Hills Drive to the lower wells is only a temporary
solution. The adjacent environment is negatively impacted and the exposure to the elements causes handling problems.
Searching for a permanent solution has been a nagging problem. The best solution appears to be adding a salt storage building onto
the lower, east side of City Building where there are a lot of infrastructure supports that helps reduce the cost:
Use existing city property
The parking apron and storm water collection system will essentially eliminate fugitive material from getting into the
environment
The existing building will form one wall of the Salt Storage Building
Coordinate the landscaping
The more central optimum location within the city will improve snow removal time.
Protecting the salt from the elements eliminate the lumps that form when salt gets wet. This will increase the efficiency of spreading
the salt on the roads. Thus, salt usage will be reduced with a resulting cost savings. The exact saving is difficult to quantify, but
Corbett Stephens estimated that Elk Ridge saved 20% upon covering their salt pile. For us this would amount to an annual savings
of $2,500.
An engineering rendering of front (as seen from Woodland Hills Drive) and side (looking west from the retention basin) elevations
are shown in the accompanying figure. We have tried to make the appearance be compatible with the existing structure and
surrounding environment. The facility is estimated to cost about $60,000.
Yes, this will probably be one of the best looking salt storage structures in the country. But considering the alternatives of doing
nothing with the resulting negative environmental impact or purchasing property plus the infrastructure expense, this approach seems
to make sense.
We anticipate this project will be up for approval at the September 14th City Council Meeting. Since it is a lot of money, please let
us know what you think.

Recycle Update:
Steel Cans Added to List Our partnership with the South Utah Valley Solid Waste District, SUVSWD, has
been a huge success. Three bins are being hauled away each week. This is amazing
progress. A ton of recycle means less waste going to the landfill (extending its life)
and a modest income for SUVSWD both of which helps keep our costs down
Steels cans have been added to the list of all plastics, cardboard, paper, and aluminum. The only
major component we are not able to recycle at this point in time is glass. Recyclables do not
need to be segregated and can be put into any of the doors on the blue recycle
bin. The only requirement is that they are clean and dry.
We can improve the efficiency of the operation by collapsing boxes, crushing
cans and plastic bottles.
Thanks for your support. It is making a difference.
