Answer
·  Does Centerville City provide a list for Eagle Scout projects?

No. Scouts are encouraged to be creative and develop a project that would be beneficial or useful in the community. We would be happy to meet with them to discuss ideas, to help provide direction, assistance, or determine the feasibility of their project. Appointments can be made with Randy Randall, Public works Director, or Bruce Cox, Parks Supervisor(295-8232) for more information or assistance.

·  What happened about the possible recycling program? We are interested but were unable to participate in requested response in showing our interest very timely.

The issue is not yet decided. The recycler needed to have some comfort that approximately 400 households would participate in the program. We are still taking information from those who may be interested. However, to date, we have only approximately 200.

In rear yard areas, all accessory buildings must be setback a minimum of three feet from any property line, six feet from any other structure, must not be higher than 25 feet, and must not occupy more than 20% of the total rear yard area. Contact Community development 292-8232.

We continue to get a count of potential interested households. We still have a long way to go. Wasatch Integrated Waste is considering placing community bins at no cost to the City or Residents.
