months of implementation. City Manager Tom Hardy stated that this program attempts to balance the desires of those that enjoy the deer as part of the experi- ence of living in Bountiful and those who wish to use their property for raising gardens, flowers, shrubs and other plants in the City of Beautiful Homes and Gardens. The Division of Wildlife Resources is the state agency responsible for managing wildlife populations within the state of Utah, including the deer popu- lation. By working directly with the division, the City hopes to take advantage of their experience, professional- ism, and sensitivity to the ur- ban deer population in Bounti- ful, and to develop a program that the DWR could replicate in other cities that may face the same issue. Harvested deer will be donated to local food banks and shelters in cooperation with the Bountiful Community Food Pantry and the Utah Chapter of Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Homeless. The cost of preparing each animal for use is $60. If you are interested in donating to help with this expense, no part of which will be used for the deer management policy, please pick up a form at City Hall or online at www.bountifulutah.gov. Any excess funds will be donated to Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Homeless. A permission form for access to your property can be found in both places as well.

Councilwoman BETH HOLBROOK Planning & Zoning T he Bountiful City Council recently adopted a deer management policy to manage the urban deer population within the city limits of Bountiful in cooperation with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. The comprehensive program includes development of a web site for education of citizens on what they can do to protect their property from damage from deer, and a caution regarding the feeding of deer. Bountiful City is currently creating a list of property owners who are willing to allow their property to be used to access deer within the city limits. The program allows an evalua- tion of the effectiveness of managing the deer population by selectively thinning some of the deer on public property and on property where the property owner has consented to its use. The goal of the pro- gram is to effectively manage the wildlife population within the corporate lim- its of the City of Bountiful, said Mayor Johnson. What we are trying to do is develop a program where we tolerate a certain number of deer within the city limits, but manage that number so that they do not become a health, public safety or nuisance threat to our residents. Mayor Johnson was quick to point out that the program goal is not to eliminate the deer popula- tion within the city limits. We have always had deer within the city limits, and from time to time the deer population has been thinned. This thinning is simply an extension of an existing policy that has been utilized when the need has arisen. The City and the Division of Wildlife Resources will share the costs of this program, On Wednesday, December 1, and Thursday, December 2, Bountiful welcomes the Bar J Wranglers from Jackson Hole, WY for a Christmas concert at Woods Cross High School at 7:00 p.m.

Holiday Lighting Tips from Bountiful City Power T o ensure a safe and happy holiday sea- son, Bountiful City Power would like to share the following information: Always check for overhead power lines before stringing outdoor lights and stay at least 10 feet away from them. Any contact with power lines can be FATAL! If decorating outside, use lights and ex- tension cords designed for outdoor use. Use only lighting and cords approved by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL), an independent, nonprofit organization that tests electrical components and equip- ment for potential hazards. When hanging lights, make sure that nails and staples do not pierce or pinch wires. Check all indoor and outdoor decorative lighting for frayed cords, broken wires and loose connections. Discard damaged lights and cords. Follow the manufacturer's specification for the number of light strings that can be safely connected together. Turn off indoor and outdoor decorative lights when leaving the house and before going to bed. Consider using LED holiday lighting they are shatter- and shock-resistant, last much longer than conventional in- candescent bulbs, produce almost no heat greatly reducing the risk of fire and/or burns, and use much less elec- tricity than conventional incandescent bulbs so are less likely to overload a circuit.

Increasing BCL&Ps generation capacity would give the City more flexibility to cover these summer peaks. BCL&P will be making major renovations to its power plant during the next 18 months to increase generation capacity to approxi- mately 33 megawatts (MW).

I ts that time of year again when the citys winter parking ordinance goes into effect. In an effort to help our street department continue doing such an excellent job clearing the snow from the roadways, we are asking for your cooperation in not parking your vehicles on the street when prohibited as outlined below. Bountiful City Parking Ordinance 13-1-103 states: It is unlawful for any person who owns or has possession, custody, or control of any vehicle to park or allow to be parked any vehicle or trailer on any street be- tween the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. during the months of November, Decem- ber, January, February, and March. The ordinance also prohibits parking vehicles on the street when it is actu- ally snowing, or within twelve hours thereafter. This prohibition does not include Main Street between 500 South and 400 North. This ordinance assists the street department in keeping the streets plowed during the winter months. It is difficult for the snowplows to keep the streets free of snow if they have to maneuver around vehicles parked on the street. Bountiful also has many residential streets and cul-de-sacs that are impos- sible to plow if there are vehicles parked on them. The police department will enforce this ordinance as we have for the past several years. Offi- cers will be putting warnings on vehicles left parked on the street for the first two weeks of November. After that, officers will begin issuing parking citations on all vehicles that are left on the street in viola- tion of this ordinance. After the same vehicle has been issued two parking citations, that vehicle will be impounded at the owners expense. This includes all cars, trailers, boats, etc. The police department does not want to issue parking citations or impound vehicles, but we will do so to assist the street department in keeping the streets clear of snow and safe for our community. Please help us by keeping your vehicles off the street when prohibited. It is also prohibited to shovel or blow snow onto the streets when clearing it from your driveway or sidewalk.
