MAYOR’S MESSAGE Month of Gratitude November has always been the month of GRATITUDE for our City. We shepherd in the holiday season with the annual Interfaith Service (view the adjacent ad for details) with a message centered around GRATITUDE. This can be a difficult concept to tackle in light of all we see occurring around the world. But I believe my friends and colleagues on the Interfaith Council would argue that it is the perfect time to pause and take inventory of the many blessings we share as citizens of this great country. It’s important to acknowledge that there is reason to be grateful for our own mental health and well-being, even when the messages we are bombarded with seem bleak. In keeping with this overarching message, allow me to express my gratitude for the opportunity Joni and I have had to serve the citizens of Holladay for going on 10 years. It has blessed our life beyond measure. I’m grateful to live in a country that allows everyday citizens like me to serve as your Mayor. It’s a rare privilege; an honor not available to citizens across the globe. We have never taken it for granted! I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside an amazing staff, competent, compassionate, and fully committed colleagues on our City Council, and too many to mention relationships with local volunteers and elected officials serving on the front lines to make our communities a better place to live. I wish you could all see what I see on a daily basis. It’s in complete contrast to what you might expect from the information we receive through daily news feeds. Countless individuals finding ways to be of service, working selflessly under the radar to strengthen our communities. Their motivations are pure. As long as “these” individuals continue to be willing to step into the arena, I have high hopes for the future of this great nation, our State, and the City of Holladay. As Thanksgiving approaches, I hope you can find some time to pause and reflect on all that blesses your life. By acknowledging, showing, and sharing your gratitude, we strengthen relationships with our family, friends, and community. Councilmember Matt Durham will compose our December Journal article. So, I’ll take this opportunity to wish everyone a holiday season filled with love and laughter, and a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2024—CHEERS!!! —Rob Dahle, Mayor
Elections Cancelled for Districts 2 & 5 The only candidate who declared their candidacy for Holladay City Council District 2 was Matt Durham. Similarly, Emily Gray was the sole candidate for Council District 5 after her opponent withdrew. As these races were uncontested, the City Council decided to cancel the elections in accordance with Utah law and Holladay Resolution 202327, thus saving approximately $15,000 or 66%, from the budgeted amount for elections this year. The City Council District 4 race with Drew Quinn and Matthew Tracy will be on the ballot for the General Election on November 21st. Additionally, some residents will receive a ballot for the Mt. Olympus Improvement District Board of Trustees at-large member. All eligible, active, registered voters will be mailed a ballot on October 31st and are encouraged to vote and return that ballot in a timely manner so that it may be counted. Election Day Vote centers are also available for voters who prefer to vote in person. Early voting will take place on November 13-17 from 3:30-7:00 pm. You can also drop your ballot off in the ballot box located at the northwest corner of City Hall. Please visit ww.slco.org/clerks/elections for more information on early vote centers and election day locations.

CITY INFORMATION
Bad Holiday Foods for Fido By Salt Lake County Animal Services The holidays are around the corner. Here’s a few quick tips on what to keep out of your pet’s mouth. Those tasty, fatty, rich foods from the holidays can cause some serious upset tummies, or even worse, a visit to the emergency vet.
AVOID: • Candy: Chocolate contains a substance, theobromine, that can be toxic to pets. Dark, semi-sweet, and Baker’s chocolate can be lethal to pets if ingested. • Drippings: Those fatty leftovers from your meal can cause vomiting and diarrhea. • NO BONES: Do not give your pet bones from leftover holiday birds, they can splinter once ingested and cause internal injuries, even death. • Stuffing, pudding, relish, pickles, sauces, and anything with onions, grapes, raisins. Your pet can eat some holiday foods in moderation BEFORE they’ve been prepared with spices: sweet potatoes, white potatoes, pumpkin (before adding fatty things like cream), cranberries, chard, kale, green beans, and a wee bite of turkey, ham, or other meats. If you have additional questions, please consult with your veterinarian.

It’s a great day to check the stormwater catch basin grates on your street! If there are leaves or debris covering the catch basin grate, rake them up now. Don’t sweep or blow your leaves into gutters or canals. If you have a catch basin in your neighborhood, adopt it and keep it clear of leaves and debris. Could someone on your block use a hand with their leaves? Adopt their catch basin to help. Keeping drains clear is a simple way to prevent flooding and keep our waterways healthy!
