You can obtain the discount tickets at the Owners Association office Monday-Friday 8:00-5:00 p.m. There is no purchase necessary when you pick up the ticket. Each ticket is good for up to eight people.

Bus Stop at the Information Center

Volunteers that help direct traffic before and after school for the grade school busses need your help. Drop-off and pick-up at the Information Center has become very congested. It has made it difficult for the busses to enter and exit Village Green Circle and get the children to school on time. To help reduce the congestion, traffic volunteers ask that you treat the Village Green as a one way road entering from Traverse Ridge Road and exiting out Deer Ridge Drive. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Neighborhood Watch Program Update

In the happenings mailing on 9-25-09 we talked a little about Neighborhood Watch Programs. If you are interested in starting a neighborhood watch group for your neighborhood please visit the following website for instructions on starting www.draper.ut.us. Once on the website, select Public Safety then Police then Neighborhood Watch.

Fire Hydrant Snow Removal

The colder weather is here and the snow is close behind. Please remember that if you have a fire hydrant in front of your home you are responsible to keep it clear of snow by city ordinance. The city ordinance states that there must be a three-foot clear space around the circumference of the fire hydrant. For more information please see Draper City’s website at www.draper.ut.us.

“Good Night Chairs”

Now is a good time to be cleaning, covering, and storing your patio furniture and outdoor grill. If you can, get in that one last barbeque, but then safely shut off the propane tank, store the charcoal briquettes in a safe place, and learn to make S’mores inside. Be sure to drain any portable fountains, and carefully shut down your outdoor water features (or have a professional do so). Any leaks should be addressed NOW, before winter freezing has a chance to enlarge them.

A Message From Greg Powers

A message to the residents of SunCrest from one of the candidates, Greg Powers, who is running for City Council:

I am running for Draper City Council and would appreciate if you could help me get the word out to SunCrest residents about where I stand in regards to their situation. If you could forward this message on to the members of your group I would appreciate it.

As of now we are in litigation and I don't know how it will turn out. I'm sure we will find many things the council could have done better in hind sight, but I'd like to address the future of SunCrest.

The council members are elected at large, therefore the city as a whole is responsible for their election. It was mistakes and misunderstandings between the council and SunCrest and Zions that would cause us to have to pay out a settlement, not mistakes from SunCrest residents. They are no more responsible than any other Draper resident who voted for the council members who made the mistake.

Whatever it turns out the mistakes were what got us into this, we all voted for those who were involved in the misunderstanding, whether we live in SunCrest or not we are responsible. So if there is a settlement between Draper and Zions all of Draper needs to pay it. The residents may not like it, but if they don't they should be upset with the council, not SunCrest residents.

I have a long time family friend who lives in SunCrest and I visit there often, we are all part of one community and we need to stand up, take responsibility for who we elected, and slug this out together. We are not SunCrest residents and Draper Residents.

WE ARE ONE DRAPER!
