Mr. Nierotka suggested conducting a final inspection after trees
are removed in the City; a lot of debris is left behind. The Department of
Public Works will follow-up.
Resident Dorothy Vels addressed the City Council regarding large garbage items
left at the side of the curb for long periods of time. The issue does not seem to
be with the disposal company, but rather with residents who put o u t
the items too early. Code Enforcement will address the issue.
Residents Kelly Fitzgerald, Emmeline Guest, Laura Taccona, Annie Healy, Josh
Thvedt, Zachary Stellberg, Wayne Serbin and Jason Dean addressed the City
Council regarding the city's re -branding effort and the "Good Move" tag- line.
Residents expressed their disappointment that there was not more public input.
The residents are not opposed to the re -branding effort, but rather to using
"Good Move" over the "City of Destiny." Mayor Bogusz offered to set up a time
in the next few weeks and asked those interested in discussing the matter in more
detail to attend. Mayor Bogusz noted nothing would be put up or taken down
with the regard to the new campaign. Resident's contact information will be
obtained.
Resident Brian Burkross addressed the Council to inquire what is involved in the
Fire Station #61 Roof Rehabilitation Project that will cost $202,000. Director of
Public Works and Engineering Oakley informed Mr. Burkross the project
involves much more than a roof replacement. Mayor Bogusz asked City Manager
Bartholomew to forward the bid documents to Mr. Burkross for his review.
The Frisbee Center is hosting their 14th annual Christmas lunch on Friday,
