City Council Meeting - Citizenship in the Community MB

Our patrol made up more than 70% of those in attendance on the September 16th Riverton City Council meeting.

They talked about the tax impact that the large retail stores have on the city (i.e. WalMart) and spent a lot of time discussing some changes that could be on the horizon with how the Sheriff's department is structured and how that would effect the City's manner and ability to interact with that 'independent' department. Of interest, a little known ordinance was brought up regarding Alarm Systems... In order for the Sheriff's department to respond, every alarm MUST be issued a permit. Councilman Tingey brought up a complaint that a Riverton resident had with the sheriff not responding to an alarm when he was out of town. Because his alarm did not have a permit, the sheriff refused to go to his property despite the homeowner's request.

Council meeting was a little dry for most of the scouts - the topics were not too contraversial to keep their attention for too long... But it was a good learning experience!
