This reflected the feeling of the staff and all in attendance at the event. As a new city of almost seven years, Millcreek residents have a City Hall to be proud of where the community can gather to shop, enjoy some tasty food (in a couple of months), meet and mingle. The first floor Public Market was a hit and a great place to do some holiday shopping, the beautiful sixth floor Community Room will become the place to hold a special event or wedding. The seond floor includes an emergency operations center that is designed to continue to function even if the power goes out in the rest of the building. There is still more to come, a 450-stall parking structure is under construction and the 65' climbing wall on the outside of the building will open next March. ---PAGE BREAK--- Phase 2 of Millcreek Common is being planned that will cover the area to the north along the fault line and will include a mini-golf course, skate park, water feature, and much more. The offices on the second, fourth and fifth floor provide space for city staff, who are excited to have windows to help light their offices. The third floor houses the Millcreek Precinct of the Unified Police Department. We hear the UPD officers are happy to move into a building with adequate space for their needs that they don't have to share with a dentist office. The celebration was followed by a wonderful fireworks display to cap off an exciting and fun night! If you missed the Ribbon Cutting event, stop in City Hall and take a look around, we are sure you will be pleased with your city hall and the city center the residents have told us they wanted. ---PAGE BREAK--- Clean Up The Leaves Properly!! After your kids get through jumping in the leaf piles, remember to clean up your leaves properly. Leaves should be bagged and taken to a disposal drop off location. If you use a service to take care of your leaves, please let them know the rules. You can find the drop off locations on the Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling District website. These sites will be open until November 30th, do not dispose of leaf bags at these locations after that time. To make it even easier, stop in to City Hall at 1330 E Chambers Avenue to pick up a roll of free leaf bags. Why is this important? Leaves that have collected in storm drains are a major cause of flooding during rainy days or days with a big snow melt. Uncollected leaves from your yard may cause problems for a neighbor downhill or even your own property. DO NOT blow leaves into the street and DO check any storm drains around your property to see if they are clogged with leaves. If you see a problem, please take a minute to clear our the storm drain before any potential flooding can take place.
