Nibley residents think mayor's 'to do' list is just
for show

March 13, 2008 | NIBLEY -- Mayor Gerald Knight continues
to work toward completing the goals and visions he made
for 2008. Knight has an ambitious list of seven goals
he would like to complete this year and has already
started working on most of them.
This list is as follows:
1) Complete Nibley City's Parks and Trails Plan by July
2008.
2) Complete and pass the update of the General Plan
by 6 December 2007. This will include an update of the
Land Use Plan (zoning map.)
3) Summarize Nibley City notification requirements and
Land Use Authority by 3 January 2008.
4) Approve the new Conservation Subdivision Zone by
February 2008.
5) Approve an updated Planned Unit Development Ordinance
by February 2008.
6) Approve an updated Commercial Design Standards Ordinance
by April 2008.
7) Create more opportunities for citizen involvement
to develop a sense of community pride.
Some residents believe the list could include more
important issues and was made simply to be checked off
as quickly as possible.
John Olsen, a Nibley resident, said she feels the
mayor's goals aren't what she had expected. "I was hoping
the goals would include specific details about how the
city council expects to create more of those opportunities
for citizen involvement. I felt like that was just added
for show."
Knight continues to prove that most of the list is
underway and he knows he can accomplish all of his goals
this year.
Knight said in a monthly newsletter, "I am excited
for the positive change this will create in Nibley City.
I again thank everyone that has contributed to this
process."
