<br />
If you live in the Pioneer Addition HOA, send you comments to qmsutah@aol.com. <br />
<br />
It is the opinion of All Things Eagle Mountain that now isn't the right time to build such a facility. ATEM feels that $20 a month is a reasonable amount to charge for monthly HOA dues and building such a facility would mean an increase in monthly HOA dues. During these economic times when people are struggling to pay mortgages and foreclosures and short sales surround us, now is not a responsible time to burden a community with such a project. <br />

<br />
Instead of paying your HOA dues monthly, they would now like residents to pay quarterly or all up front. <br />
<br />
So here's the breakdown. Instead of paying $20 a month, you will now pay $60 every three months. <br />
<br />
If you would like to save money, you can pay a full year up front and recieve a 10% discount. That would make your dues $216 for a full year. <br />
<br />

<br />
The city council has fallen prey to the hype that the only way to get something done in Washington is to hire an inside wheeler-dealer.<br />
<br />
This could well turn out to be a big waste of money, given the mounting pressure in Congress to cut government spending. The freeway is a worthy project, but it can wait. Besides, Utah County's delegate to the House of Representatives, Jason Chaffetz, doesn't like earmarks.<br />

<br />
Applicants to the program need not be based in Eagle Mountain, and will be judged on:<br />
<br />
• Innovative business models<br />
<br />
• Leadership/management proficiency<br />
<br />
• Potential for job creation<br />
<br />
• Market growth capability<br />
<br />
• Well-defined products and services<br />
<br />
• Ability to secure appropriate financing<br />
<br />
• Being receptive to sharing ideas and learning new skills<br />
<br />
Businesses will be expected to graduate from the incubator within two to five years, and commit to relocate to Eagle Mountain afterward. The application will be on the city's website early this week, posted in the economic development section, said Linda Petereson, city spokeswoman.<br />
<br />
For its part, the city will provide up to 5,120 square feet of office space. The city got the office space for free by trading another parcel, which was gifted to the city by another entity, with Direct Communications.<br />
<br />
"They will be given basic phone and internet services at no cost, upgraded services at an exclusive nominal rate, as well as access to critical multimedia tools, information, contacts and services which may otherwise be inaccessible or unaffordable to start-up entrepreneurs," said Pili. "They will also have access to shared resources, such as a reception area and conference room, copy and fax equipment, audio visual equipment and a break room. The facility will be divided into private offices, cubicles and light assembly/manufacturing areas."" -<a href="http://www.heraldextra.com/news/local/north/eagle-mountain/article_ee764e83-7988-5424-906e-3eaa30102026.html">Daily Herald</a>Chasehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00643497763761191599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183065407711166213.post-27689188562048018472010-12-03T09:55:00.000-08:002010-12-03T09:56:15.247-08:00Eagle Mtn: Clint Black to Headline Pony Express Days"Clint Black will headline the annual Pony Express Days Concert and Fireworks at SilverLake Amphitheater in Eagle Mountain City on Saturday, June 4, 2011. <br />

<br />
The city will spend $180,000 in the spring to build a splash pad -- a zero-depth water feature that children can run through and cool off during summer. In a recent meeting, elected officials voted to authorize the city to apply for a matching grant from the state. If awarded, the grant would effectively allow the city to double the size of the splash pad, adding extra water features and amenities.<br />
<br />
The splash pad will have a western theme and will be built at Nolan Park, the location of the city's annual Pony Express Days celebration, she said. The Pony Express will be part of the western theme.
