There will be no municipal elections this year in Harrisville. Those will be next year while the Weber county elections will be held in November. The council passed a new home- occupation ordinance at the July 22 meeting. According to Ordinance 467, “A home occupation is the use of a portion of a single family dwelling, and/or accessory building, for a business, office, daycare, preschool, personal services such as hair care, common trade, or homemade crafts.” In order to obtain a home occupation, different conditions must be met, such as: “All work of the home occupation occurs in an enclosed structure;” “No offensive noise, vibration, smoke, dust, odor, heat, or glare shall be produced; and activities shall not include any activities which create a nuisance or hazard,” among other items.
Also passed at the meeting was a new update to the City cabin reservation fees and rental agreement. The new rental fees are: $65 for a meeting with no food, $100 for a family party with food, $250 for a wedding/open house, and a $200.00 deposit required for a wedding/open house.

The City would like to thank all those who helped out with Heritage Days on August 2 and everyone who came out and had a fun time. There were many different activities for the whole family to enjoy including a pinewood grand prix, a glow in the dark 5K run, and a disc golf tournament.
Police notice for all citizens: “Please be mindful while you are searching the web for deals on products or even answering classified ads; regardless whether they are in a newspaper or on any website. Consumer Reports recently stated that the internet marketplace is full of counterfeit products and advertisements. As a consumer you need to make sure the sites you are visiting are selling legitimate products. In regards to classified ads, never provide personal information such as your full name, date of birth, address or phone number in an initial e-mail. No bank, credit card company or potential employer will call and ask for your personal or account information. If a caller asks for this information, it’s most likely a scam. If someone wants you to cash a check and return part of it with a wire transfer, it’s a scam. Remember that you are responsible for damages when you cash a money order or cashier’s check for a third party and the check is found to be fraudulent.” - Detective Dennis Moore
