Message from the Mayor I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The winter parking rules are still in effect; do not park on the streets from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., which will allow Public Works to efficiently and safely remove potential snow. The Planning Commission met once in January and recommended amendments to our parking regulations relating to semi-truck and trailer parking. City Council reviewed those recommendations and made some changes to tighten the requirements relative to safety issues. City Council also approved Council Member Bill Bagley as mayor pro-tem. Council members were given the following assignments: Bill Bagley, commercial development; John Drew, finance; John Russell, parks and recreation; Ralph Call, development review committee; and Jeff Baldwin, planning. The City Council discussed paying off our present water bond. It was finally decided not to pay off the bond at this time but to use some reserve water money to make necessary water improvements to the Edgehill/Baur area. Public Works will initiate the preliminary engineering for a two-phase project. Engineering is also finalizing a secondary fail-safe design concerning overflow for the pond at Hampshire Park. We expect this project will be completed by late spring. Skarlet Bankhead was reappointed as City Recorder and Beth Munson as City Treasurer. Please feel free to contact any council member on their respective areas of assignment if you have concerns, and I am also available for any suggestions. It is an honor to be “your” mayor. Sincerely,
Mayor Don Calderwood Court is open every Monday from 4:00-6:00 pm (Excluding Holidays)
