Message from the Mayor
With the new year upon us the city council is looking forward to things we can do to enhance our community. With that in mind, we had a goal setting meeting earlier this month and discussed some exciting projects coming up and wishes for the future. Some things discussed were completing the downtown beautification projects, the ASR water conservation project, and bigger wishes such as updating our city park. You are invited and encouraged to attend council meetings and give us your thoughts for future goals for the city. Your input and ideas are always welcome.
The city is currently exploring a grant for a digital message board to replace the manual one that is in the Pocket Park. A digital message board would help inform citizens of upcoming events such as school events, services the city has available and when they occur such as Senior Meals and Food Bank days of operation, and special events that happen in our community. To receive grant money for this project, community support is crucial. A letter of support is posted at the Merc, the Post Office, and City Hall. If you want to give your support to this project, please sign one of the letters. There is also a survey on the city’s Facebook page where you can sign your name in support.
The Water Project has hit a bump in the road with bids coming in substantially higher than the original amount. The city is currently looking into ways to find funding to bridge that gap. More information about this project is available at City Hall.
Reminder: if you have an ordinance complaint, please come to City Hall and make a formal complaint. This will ensure that our ordinance officer is informed, and action can be taken.
City Council meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month in the Jeanne Burch Building at 7:00pm. They are broadcast on KFSL Thursday evening and Sunday noon following the meeting.
—Terri Hunt, Mayor
