The Santa Clara Fire Department has staffed a summer wildland crew since the early 2000’s. This year we started one engine crew on the first of April, working them on fuels mitigation projects. This year is off to a busy start with the Grass Valley fire start-ing the first week in June. Our engine was released on June 15th. On June 17th, we sent Brush 32 to Circleville, UT for the Choke Cherry fire. The crews helped lay over 2600 feet of hose and suppressed hot spots in the rugged terrain. They spent 2 days on that fire before they were reassigned to the Brian Head fire. While driving to Cedar City they were rerouted to the Snowfield fire at mile marker 33 on I-15. They are, as of June 20, actively working the Snowfield fire. We will have another crew available in a few weeks as training is completed. Our wildland crews work very hard and we appreciate the way they represent our city.
If you look up on the heights, you will notice that a few homes have been removed. Two of these were on Cinnamon Circle. A total of four homes have been removed as part of the FEMA Landslide Stabilization and Mitigation project.
Café Rio has broken ground on the northeast corner of the intersection at Rachel Drive and Pioneer Parkway. Their target date to be open to the public is early Fall. Please visit and support our many awesome businesses here in Santa Clara and dis-cover the many goods and services our local merchants have to offer.
It has been a very busy year regarding new homes built in Santa Clara. The city has issued 177 new building permits during this past fiscal year (July 1st to June 30th), which is the most ever for Santa Clara City. The highest before this year was in FY 2004-05 when we had 168 permits. We anticipate another busy year as new construction doesn’t seem to be slowing down.
City Council approved the FY 2017-18 Tentative Budget on June 14th. We are proud to report that the city once again did not entertain a property tax increase and that the budget is lean and conservative with a strong general fund reserve.
Visit the city website at sccity.org and follow us on Facebook to stay informed regarding upcoming events and public hearings.
We hope you have a happy July 4th and 24th, and please remember to stay safe. Harmons will have a “Small” Fireworks Demo on Saturday July 1 from 8:30-9:30 pm.
Ed Dickie, City Manager

The Swiss Days theme for 2017 is “Hometown Heroes.” This year we will be honoring many of our community’s heroes with special displays set up in the Town Hall Banquet Room. We will have several tables set up to honor veterans, which will be separated into conflicts/wars that our veterans have served in. We will also have tables honoring police, firefighters, medical responders, and other local heroes.
We are asking for your help in creating these displays! We want to honor the heroes in YOUR family! We encourage you to look for a few photos or mementos of your family’s heroes and bring them for display. The displays will be set up Wednesday, Sept. 20th. Please contact us if you would like to participate as we would like to get an approximation of how many displays we will need room for. Please contact Brooke at sccityevents@gmail.com or call the City Offices for more information 435-673-6712.
With summer in full swing keep in mind that lawn clippings, yard debris, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides can significantly add to polluting our storm water system. Follow manufactures guidelines for application of chemicals and sweep up excess clip-pings and debris to prevent them from going down the drain. Keep it green and keep it clean. We can all make a difference.
To report spills, dumping emergencies, violations or suspicious activities please call (435) 673-6712 the main City phone number and after hours number, or the DCSWC Hotline at (435) 634-5730 so an investigator can respond and visit the problem site.

Keep August 4th open on your calendar for “Movies in the Park” at the Archie H. Gubler Park. Dallas Wood from Utah- RE with Equity is working togeth-er with the Santa Clara City Power Department and the Parks and Recreation Department to sponsor a family evening of fun and entertainment. The event will be a super fun and exciting last hoorah before the school year begins. There will be games and prizes along with a selfie booth and food vendors. And best of all, the movie is free. The fun begins at 6 pm with the movie beginning at 8:30 pm.
July 1 is the beginning of the new City Fiscal Year and your City Council has approved some much needed construction projects for our Parks. We have been working on Archie H. Gubler Park since 2003 and we are very near completion. This year the west Gubler parking lot from Jacob Drive to the pickle ball courts at the north end of the park will be completed and many of the unfinished landscaped areas will be upgraded along the walking trails. Other approved projects include trail sealing of La-va Flow Trail, restrooms at the Swiss Days Park across the street from Town Hall, and designing plans for Heritage Park on Chapel Street on land donated to the City by the Bruce Stucki family.
We would like to thank everyone who donated and helped with the construction of the Santa Clara Veteran’s Memorial. Your donations paid for the memorial with the help of City labor and private contractors. You can continue to pay tribute to a Santa Clara Veteran through donations. These donations will be used to maintain the monument and pay for additional engravings on the stones and pavers. We ask that each veteran only be recognized once by a single engraving on a paver or the large monument stone to save room for future veteran’s. Future engraving of the monument will be completed periodically solely based on donations. Thanks to you, Santa Clara has a beautiful memo-rial to honor our veterans.
