- In lieu of landscaping debris pickup, the City has agreed that our contractors may drop this type of debris in the City dump just south of town. Previously this has not been allowed. However, the City wants to ensure that those contractors fully understand and are willing to fully comply with the rules for usage. Violation would cause this right to cease. Therefore, any member wanting this service would have to have his or her contractor contact Pat Elliott for an orientation.

- The City will run its street sweeper on our roads once in the spring after the snow melts.
