Stop the snow. ** WH Prepping for Potential Flooding We are grateful for the additional moisture we have received this year. We are currently 193% of median snowpack with a couple of weeks left until median peak. In other words, we have a lot of snow and have the potential for more! We will continue to keep a close eye on the current conditions, reassess our risks, and provide updates as needed. We love our beautiful city and will do all we can to keep it safe.

Meetings are on the 1st Tuesdays of the month at the WH City Center. Next meeting April 4th at 7:00pm. ** Using Sandbags to Protect your Home ------------------------------------------------------------ Sandbags placed in appropriate locations around your home can reduce the impact of flooding. Sandbags will not stop the water completely, but can reduce the amount of water entering. We have not yet determined if we will be using sandbags in Woodland Hills. If your personal property is experiencing water flow, especially in your basement window wells, we encourage you to buy filled sandbags at a hardware store such as Tractor Supply, Cal Ranch, Lowe's, or Home Depot. Watch this video ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) provided to us by our friends in Madison, Wisconsin on how to properly fill and place your sandbags. ** Have you signed up for the Everbridge Emergency Alerts? ------------------------------------------------------------ Sign up ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) for text, calls, and email alerts to get notifications from WH.

For more information contact WH city 801-423-3900. ** Sorry, No Easter Bunny this Year ------------------------------------------------------------ With limited city resources we are not able to bring the Easter Bunny to town this year. If you are interested in helping with future city events contact Janet Lunt janet(a)woodlandhills-ut.gov. ** SHHS Ballroom Team Takes the Win! ------------------------------------------------------------ A big Congratulations to the SHHS ballroom dance team at their first ever National Competition. They received the highest rank of Superior Plus in Swing and Latin Fomation routines getting a 1st place in Swing and 5th place in Latin! Congratulations Ballroom! ** Woodland Hills Revenues and Expenditures ------------------------------------------------------------ At our recent Townhall meeting we showed this video ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) highlighting the city's revenue and expenditures. If you have questions call the city offices at 801-423-3900.

Here are some simple reminders ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) to help prevent a li-ion battery fire in your home. ** Salem City Updates ------------------------------------------------------------ Spring Sports are now available through Salem Recreation.

City Prepping for Potential Spring Runoff
by Hilarie Orman 27 Mar '23

27 Mar '23

Forwarded from City of Woodland Hills <noreply(a)everbridge.net> Subject: City Prepping for Potential Spring Runoff Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2023 19:56:40 +0000 (UTC) https://www.woodlandhills-ut.gov/news/city-prepping-for-potential-spring-ru… March 27, 2023 Dear Woodland Hills Residents, We are grateful for the additional moisture we have received this year. We are currently 193% of median snowpack with a couple of weeks left until median peak. In other words, we have a lot of snow and have the potential for more! With that said, there is considerable statewide atention on potential flooding. We are mindful of your concerns. We still have 1 - 2 more months until we reach high water stage. Any risks to Woodland Hills are dependent on future weather and timing. I have met regularly with county emergency management, county public works, and other specialists to gather information and make the necessary preparations. Last week, our public works director and I met with Glen Merrill, a senior hydrologist with the National Weather Service, to discuss our risks and possible additional preparations. I have ordered sandbags to use if necessary. We anticipate above-normal precipitation this week, with the possibility of 6 - 8 more storms before the end of April. Yes, more snow! The seasonal outlook for temperatures through June will be below normal. That is good news for us as it would allow for a slower snowmelt, meaning less chance for flooding. Historically, Woodland Hills has not had city-wide flooding. If flooding has occurred, it is usually localized or nuisance flooding - basements, window wells, or natural pools of water in low-lying areas of yards. We have not yet determined if we will be using sandbags in Woodland Hills. If your personal property is experiencing water flow, especially in your basement window wells, we encourage you to buy filled sandbags at a hardware store such as Tractor Supply, Cal Ranch, Lowe��s, or Home Depot and place them according to the information sheet we have atached. Please do not place sandbags on city property or on the city right-of-way along the streets. If sandbags are needed on city infrastructure, our public works department will place them. We will continue to keep a close eye on the current conditions, reassess our risks, and provide updates as needed. We love our beautiful city and will do all we can to keep it safe. Please let us know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Kari Malkovich City Council Emergency Manaer 801-822-9149

Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2023 12:59:56 +0000 Maple syrup from Maple trees in your own neighborhood. WH Town Hall tonight! View this email in your browser (https://mailchi.mp/7ec468a2220b/wh-update-15575473?e=143b5b47cb) Tuesday, March 14, 2023 Photo Credit: Shauna Theobald ** WH - Town Hall TONIGHT What does WH spend money on?

TODAY, March 14 at 7:00pm (after the City Council meeting which starts at 6pm) In person: WH City Office Zoom link ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) ID: 418 658 6561, Passcode: WH2022 ** Congratulations Sheriff Smith ------------------------------------------------------------ Congratulations to our Utah County Sheriff, Mike Smith, for winning Sheriff of the Year! We are so grateful for all you do for WH. The partnership we have with UT County for law enforcement is invaluable. (Thank you for letting us keep Deputy Dutson, too!) ** Pick up after your furry friends! ------------------------------------------------------------ WH is not as rural as it once was, so if everyone could clean up after their dogs, that would be much appreciated! A neighbor buried their dogs poop with snow yesterday, but I don't think they realize that, once the snow melts, there is still a pile of poop there. Once the snow starts melting back, I see pile after pile of poop along the roads which makes a walk less pleasant. We are all so lucky to live in a BEAUTIFUL area so let's all be good neighbors and clean up after our furry family members! ** Penny for Your Thoughts* ------------------------------------------------------------ Concerned about flooding? Take our Be Ready WH Emergency Management questionnaire ( https://woodlandhills-ut.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2ffdbabb491f279… ) .

Next meeting April 4th at 7:00pm. *No pennies will be given out (even if you give us your thoughts) ** Bigtooth Maple Syrup Project ------------------------------------------------------------ Have you heard of the Big Tooth Maple Syrup project that WH is doing with Utah State University?
