Emergency Phone Alerts

Last Wednesday at 5:00 pm the city tested its new telephone emergency notification system.  If you have a telephone landline you should have received a phone call.  This is another way the city will notify its residents of emergencies.  As we are heading into storm awareness time, it is important to review all these safety issues again.  Sirens are in working order, but are only required to be heard outside of one’s home.  If you are in your home, everyone should have a weather radio and be aware of weather conditions.  

Construction Begins Again

Spring and Easter has arrived and along with it comes construction season.   The construction crews and city are making every effort to keep residents informed as to what is happening in their streets.  The neighborhood meetings will continue as the project continues.  There are construction meetings every Wednesday afternoon at city hall at 1:00 and 3:00 with the contractors and any resident is invited if they have concerns.  I would encourage residents to share their thoughts with foreman on site, if there is some issue that can easily be resolved.  This is a very large project and it will be with us for the entire summer so let us work together as we improve our city.
