business ordinance at their regular meeting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, January 21st. A draft of the proposed home business ordinance is included with this newsletter.
DOG LICENSES: All dog licenses expired December 31st. Resolution 2009-6, approved and passed by the city council on December 10, 2009, sets the licensing fee for each dog at $12 for each calendar year commencing on January 1, 2010.
OVERNIGHT PARKING: JUST A REMINDER OF OUR SNOW ORDINANCE – NO PARKING IS ALLOWED ON CITY STREETS FROM DECEMBER 1ST THROUGH MARCH 1ST, BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 12 O’CLOCK MIDNIGHT AND 7 O’CLOCK A.M. THIS IS THE TIME WHEN MOST SNOW IS CLEARED FROM THE STREETS.
SNOW SHOVELING: The city would like to remind those out shoveling their sidewalks and driveways to not shovel the snow into the streets because once the plows have gone by it becomes a hazard on the street and often packs down and becomes difficult to remove. We recommend finding a good spot on your property to pile the excess snow. We also remind you that cleaning the ends of driveways at your homes is an extra benefit and is not to be expected. Sometimes the city crew is so busy clearing the streets of snow that they cannot provide this service to the residents.
STREETS: The city is considering doing some realignment to some streets in town: (1) 1st North to “B” Street; and (2) a more safe approach at the east end of town having to do with 7th East and Highway 33. Also, we will work towards a permanent solution to problems on 3rd South. When we get this information on the agenda, please respond and offer some suggestions.
As we look forward to the New Year, we hope for the economy to improve and general optimism to return.
The February newsletter will contain a State of the City message.
Mayor Glenn W. Dalling City Council and Staff
