Mayor’s Report January 2025
As we begin the new year, our winter weather has been colder and we have seen more snow than in previous years. Our Service Department is on call 24/7 to keep our roads cleared. They have done an excellent job. As residents, if there are areas of concern on your street, our Service Department can go out and resolve these issues. Please call our dispatch number listed below and they will send someone out. Please remember, if you have sidewalks, please keep these clear, allowing the children to use them instead of the street to get to their bus stop for school.
Our volunteer steering committee made up of residents continues to work with the Envision Group to share ideas on forming a comprehensive plan for our city. Results of the resident survey were shared by the Envision Group at the January 9th meeting. If you are interested in attending to listen to these ideas, the next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, February 20th at 7 PM.
On Wednesday, January 22nd at 7 PM in our Community Room, we will have an educational session on feral cats. A few of our local agencies will discuss how we can all get involved with solving the feral cat problem. This session is open to all residents who are concerned and we hope we can learn about how we can effectively manage this in our neighborhoods.
We have entered into a contract with Severino Construction to complete the Southland Road storm sewer project. We anticipate the project to start sometime in the spring and be completed before the end of the year. We continue to look for grants along with low interest loans to improve the drainage on the streets west of Andrews Road.
