MAYOR’S MESSAGE
A Warm Start to Spring in Huntsville
It has been a mild winter, and before we know it, our kids will be hunting for Easter eggs! Last month, we hosted two fantastic events - the Winter Carnival and the Grand Opening of our new Town Hall and Community Center, now officially known as The Huntsville Hall. Both events saw a great turnout, and I want to extend my sincerest thanks to everyone who helped organize them, as well as to all who attended. The Winter Carnival is always a community favorite, and after three attempts to find the perfect date, Mother Nature finally cooperated with fresh snow and cool temperatures. It was wonderful to see so many families enjoying the festivities! As we look ahead to spring, stay tuned for more upcoming events and opportunities to connect with your neighbors. Thank you for being a part of our vibrant community!
Opening Obstructed Alleys
When Huntsville was originally platted in the late 1800s, nearly all blocks included a 33-foot-wide alley. Over time, some of these alleys have become obstructed by vehicles, trees, buildings, or fences. To improve accessibility to properties and maintain our Town’s historic layout, the Town Council and Planning Commission are working with residents to reopen obstructed alleys. We kindly ask for your cooperation in ensuring your alley remains clear of obstructions. Your efforts will help enhance safety, ease of access for other property owners, and the overall appearance of our community. If you are not sure if an official Town alley is adjacent to your property you can check your Weber County Plat map with the first 6 digits of your parcel number at:www3.co.weber.ut.us/gis/pop_up_plats.php. Thank you for your support!
Recognizing Our Town’s Dedicated Team
Running a town, no matter the size, takes a dedicated team of employees and volunteers working behind the scenes to ensure everything functions smoothly. From maintaining our infrastructure to handling essential services, these individuals play a vital role in keeping our community thriving. Recently, a resident mentioned that the town has only two part-time employees. While we do have part-time staff, our operations rely on many more people, including part-time employees and dedicated volunteers. If you don’t frequently visit our office to pay a water bill, require assistance from our maintenance team, or interact with our water operators and cemetery sexton, you may not have had the opportunity to meet the incredible individuals who keep things running. We encourage residents to take a moment to appreciate the unseen work that happens every day to support our Town. Whether it’s ensuring clean water, maintaining public spaces, or handling administrative duties, our team is committed to serving you. Thank you to all our employees and volunteers who make our town a great place to live!
Sincerely,
Richard L. Sorensen, Mayor
