B.H.C.C. Vision The vision of the Bonneville Hills Community Council is to involve citizens in identifying issues, plans, and projects that enhance the beauty, safety, vibrancy, and human-scale character of Bonneville Hills neighborhoods, businesses, and historical and natural resources. The council sponsors, supports, and provides a voice on such issues to governing bodies, public and private service agencies, the community at large and any other organization or individual that may directly affect the vitality of the Bonneville Hills area and its residents.
The Bonneville Hills community is a safe and beautiful community of friendly, enlightened, caring and involved neighbors.
To accomplish our vision, B.H.C.C. mission action items are:
1. Educate the community about issues and activities concerning the B.H.C.C. and surrounding areas.
2. Encourage involvement of neighbors through monthly meetings, volunteerism, street fairs, and other
community events including block parties.
3. Encourage the improved walkability of neighborhoods by having maintained sidewalks and drainage systems, more trees, maintained yards and gardens and improved lighting.
4. Encourage places that support relationships among residents, including small business, coffee shops and clean recreation areas.
5. Support an adequate number of law/safety officers to meet the needs of the community, in combination with crime prevention programs and citizen involvement.
6. Supports historic preservation.
7. Support the increased maintenance and enhanced improvements of parks and areas that are for the multiple uses of all residents.

Salt Lake City Demographics Demographics Ask a newcomer to describe Utah residents and you'll hear words like friendly, industrious, and young. Ask Utah economists to describe Utah's population and they'll say healthy. Utah is the fourth fastest-growing state in the nation and ranks 34th in the nation in population. The state's rapid growth is attributed to both the area's high birth rate and to in-migration. Population Utah's population reached 2,233,169 in 2000. This was an increase of 510,319 people since 1990. With a growth rate of 29.6 percent, Utah is the fourth fastest growing state in the nation. The majority of new Utahns (58 percent) are born here. Migration accounts for the rest of the growth (42 percent). With Utah's young population and high fertility rates, fast growth should continue. Some projections put Utah at close to three million people in the next 15 years. Like other states in the American Southwest, Utah is growing more racially and ethnically diverse-especially in its largest cities. For example, the number of Utahns claiming Hispanic or Latino ethnicity grew 138 percent in the last ten years. Nearly one in every ten Utahns is now Hispanic. Excluding those who identified themselves in the census only as being from "some other race" or as being from "two or more races", the state's next largest racial minority was Asian, followed by American Indians and Alaska Natives, African Americans, and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Salt Lake City makes up a relatively small portion of the Salt Lake Valley. While Salt Lake County covers approximately 737 square miles, Salt Lake City covers only 111.1 square miles. Salt Lake City is the largest city in the state and has a population of 181,743. Salt Lake County's population is 898,387, making it the most populous region in Utah. Overall, Utah is expected to continue to have the youngest population in the nation. Utah's median age in 2000 was 27.1 years, well below the national figure of 35.3 years. Utah is first in the nation in the number of persons per household at 3.13, compared to the national average of 2.59. In addition, Utah's persons per family are 3.57, compared to the national figure of 3.14. Demographic Statistics All area codes are 801 unless otherwise noted.

Bonneville Hills Community Council
2009 - 2020 Objectives
1. What are your primary concerns for our community over the next:
1-5 years:
• A vision and a plan for the next 5-20 years.
• Dealing with crime, traffic and property issues (large homes and people who rent their homes and do not maintain them – like the home on the top of Sheridan at the corner with 1300 S. that is vacant and falling apart).
5 – 20 years:
• Some mechanism of continuous community infrastructure maintenance and home re-cycling to keep young families moving in to replace those of us who pass on.
• Continued high quality schools.
• Young families moving in to raise and educate their children.
• More mass transit.
• A movie theatre in Foothill village – not a megaplex, but maybe only the megaplexes make money in this day and age – too bad.
• And, I’m afraid the perpetual issues of crime, traffic and property.
2. What specific changes do you hope to see take place in this community in the future?
• More small businesses that provide a place for community shopping and gathering. The businesses at 1700 E and 1900 S should be given some kind of medal, but maybe just giving them our business would be the best thing we can do. It would be nice to see that kind of vitality along 2100 E from 1300 S to 1400 S. It does seem to be moving in the right direction though.
• Less traffic.
• Less crime.
• More sense of community (I’m a bit of a hypocrite on this one – there is a lot more I could do in this regard).
3. Are you aware of the purpose that the Bonneville Hills Community Council serves?
(If so, please describe briefly) I assume there is a vision statement, but I cannot recall it. I would assume it is a group of concerned and committed citizens who want to see their community be even better than it is.
35 20
4. Please describe what a successful neighborhood community is like. • Diverse culturally, ethnically and age wise.
• Tolerant
• Environmentally healthy
• Good schools
• Walkable
• Safe
• Attractive
• Quiet
• A community many people would like to be a part of as well as live in.
5. Fund Raising or Membership Drive Fund raising or a membership drive for funds to operation the Council. Up to this point in time expenses have been paid for by the Officers of the Council. There are three ways funds could be generated: 1. Yearly membership to B.H.C.C. $ 5.00 - $ 10.00 per family 2. Advertising on our web page and in newsletter 3. Donations from residents
6. Block Captains for all Blocks
B.H.C.C. has block captains for 60% of our area. The remaining areas still require Block Captains. (see attached map)

Family/Community Emergency Response Guide
In the time of a disaster, whether natural or man made, many of us are not prepared to meet our most basic needs. In this guide are suggestions to help you prepare for any emergency.
It is impossible to accurately predict when disasters may occur along the Wasatch Front. Therefore it is essential for each family within the Bonneville Hills Community Council neighborhoods to prepare an action plan so that we not only take care of ourselves but will be ready to help our neighbors who might be in need of assistance.
Our preparation is like purchasing an insurance policy we hope to never use. If a disaster happens the emphasis will be to prevent death and injury, and to protect property.
This emergency response guide will help us be better citizens by minimizing our fears concerning disaster.
Remember, when we are prepared we have no need to fear.
Sincerely,
B.H.C.C. Officers

GAS & ELECTRICITY GUIDE
Disasters have prompted people to ask how to turn off the gas and electric service to their houses.
• The first rule is to “STIFLE THE IMPULSE”. Don’t shut off gas and electric services unless there is evidence of damage to your house piping and wiring. Use the “Sniff Test” for natural gas.
• If you shut off your electricity unnecessarily, you lose the vital services of Refrigeration, lighting, and in many cases, cooking and heating. You might also miss important news and official announcements carried on radio and television.
• If you shut off gas service at the meter, it should not be turned on again except by an expert, such as a gas company serviceperson. If the service is restored by an untrained person, dangerous accumulations of gas could be released into your home.
However, when a dangerous situation arises in your home, it is advisable to shut off gas and/or electricity.
When and how to shut off gas service to your house: • Shut off gas service at the meter if house piping has been broken, or if a strong
odor of gas is present. • The main shut-off valve is located on the inlet pipe next to your gas meter. Using a
wrench or other suitable tool, give the valve a quarter turn in either direction, so that it is crosswise to the pipe.
• Don’t light matches or operate electric light switches or motors in areas where gas is leaking or is suspected of being present.
• Get the assistance of a plumber or some other qualified mechanic to repair the
35 29
damaged house piping and to turn gas back on. Call the gas company if further help or advice is necessary.
When and how to shut off electric service to your home: • Fuses or circuit breakers should automatically shut off house service or service to
one or more branch circuits in the event of electrical trouble. • Do not attempt to restore this service if there is evidence of heat damage to wiring or to the fuse/circuit breaker
box. • If there is no evidence of damage, restore service by replacing the fuse or closing
the circuit breaker. • Call the power company or an electrician if you cannot restore service or if it seems too dangerous.
WATER PURIFICATION & STORAGE
The following information obtained through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Minimum water storage is ½ gallon per day per person for drinking and food preparation, and ½ gallon per day for cleaning and miscellaneous. (2 week supply = 14 gallons per person) Storage When emergency disinfection is necessary, examine the physical condition of the water. Disinfectants are less effective in cloudy water. Filter murky or colored water through clean cloths or allow it to settle, and draw off the clean water for disinfection. Water prepared for disinfection should be stored only in clean, tightly covered, containers, not subject to corrosion. There are three general methods by which small quantities of water can be effectively disinfected. Boiling Boiling is the most positive method by which water can be made safe to drink. Vigorous boiling for 1-3 minutes will kill any disease-causing microorganisms present in water. The flat taste of boiled water can be improved by pouring it back and forth from on container to another (called aeration), by allowing it to stand for a few hours, or by adding a small pinch of salt for each quart of water boiled When boiling is not practical, chemical disinfection should be used. The two chemicals commonly used are chlorine and purification tablets. Chlorine Bleach Purification The treated water should be mixed thoroughly and allowed to stand for 30 minutes. The water should have a slight chlorine odor; if not, repeat the dosage and allow the water to stand for and additional 15 minutes. If the treated water has too strong a chlorine taste, it can be made more pleasing by allowing the water to stand exposed to the air for a few hours or by pouring it from one clean container to another several times. Amount of Water Clear Water Cloudy Water 1 quart 2 drops 4 drops 1 gallon 8 drops 16 drops 5 gallons ½ teaspoon 1 teaspoon Purification Tablets These are available at any drug store. Simply follow the directions on the package.
35 30
SANITATION During neighborhood alerts, and family drills, sanitation has been one of the more serious problems. Without running water this problem is immediate and acute. It is strongly suggested that this be an area that should not be put off preparing for until the problem arrives. Tips for preventing sanitation problems during an emergency loss of toilet facilities:
1. The “toilet” should have an air-tight lid.
2. Don’t depend on plastic bags without support of some kind.
3. Whatever you use, try to find something that uses little or no water. Your supply will be very limited.
4. You must have a large container with a tight fitting lid to empty the small container into until you can bury the refuse.
5. When you bury refuse, it must be buried 12 to 24 inches underground to prevent animals and rodents from digging it up and spreading disease.
6. Have a good reserve of plastic bags, newspapers, toilet tissue, soap, and disinfectant.
7. Allow for some means of privacy in using your emergency toilet.
Check into all kinds of sanitation facilities and find one that suits your family’s needs, and then move on your decision.
35 31
EMERGENCY PLANNING FOR THOSE WITH IMPAIRED MOBILITY
During an emergency, your mobility may be. Debris may block your exit and elevators may not work. Before an emergency:
• Plan ahead by letting neighbors and colleagues know you may need their assistance in vacating your home or workplace.
• Work out alternative exit routes. If you use a wheelchair, make more than one exit from your home wheelchair accessible in case the primary exit is blocked.
• Develop an escape plan by drawing a floor plan of your home. Show the location of doors, windows, stairways, large furniture, your evacuation kit and utility shutoff points. Indicate at least two escape routes from each room.
• Mark a place outside the home where family members should meet.
• Secure objects (particularly large furniture items) that might fall and block your path.
• If you use supplies such as catheters or bladder pads, keep extra supplies. Toilets may not work after a disaster.
• Teach those who may need to assist you in an emergency how to operate the necessary equipment, such as lifts or scooters.
During an emergency:
• In an earthquake or tornado, if you are in a wheelchair, stay in it, move away from windows, high furniture and other dangers and seek cover in a doorway. Be careful about the door swinging back onto you.
• Position yourself away from outside walls, at a point where walls intersect, or in a washroom or closet.
• Lock the wheels of the wheelchair.
• Once you are in a safe and protected position. Cover your head with your hands.
• If you are out of your wheelchair, seek cover under the bed, a table or desk. If there is a space between your bed and interior wall, try to get down to the floor there.
In my home, the safest location would be: ___________________________________________________________________ After an emergency:
• If trapped, do anything to attract attention. your neighbors will be looking for you.
Listen to your emergency radio for information.
EMERGENCY PLANNING FOR THE DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING The deaf and the hard of hearing must take special precautions in emergency situations. You will have a difficult time communicating. Telephone services may be out and consequently telecommunications devices for the deaf may not work. If the electricity is also out, your means of communication my be your flashlight. In addition, people may not realize that you cannot hear evacuation warnings and instructions and consequently could leave you behind. Here’s what you should do in order to be ready to face emergencies.
35 32
Before an emergency: • Remind neighbors and colleagues that you may not hear an evacuation order, and
ask for help.
• Ask a neighbor or colleagues to be your source of emergency information, as it becomes available.
• Make sure you have a flashlight with good batteries in every room.
• Light sticks are also recommended. These are sold at sporting goods, camping stores, and safety equipment suppliers, and offer light for up to 12 hours without generating any heat or flame. In addition, they do not deteriorate when stored.
• Keep a pad and pencil next to your bed and in all rooms in your home.
• Store extra hearing aid batteries at home and at work. During and emergency: • Watch for falling debris as well as seeking cover and protecting your head with
your hands.
