Message from the Mayor
April 2006
I appreciate this opportunity to communicate with you every month. We are trying to make the
information not only timely, but easy and fun to read. If you have not visited our city website at
www.cilyofchubbuck.us we encourage you to do so. It is not only informative, but gives you an easy
way to communicate with us.
We have just completed registration of those interested in our youth baseball and girls softball
programs. We appreciate those who participate in any way in these valuable activities. Later in the
spring and early summer they will be regularly playing games in our city facilities. Take some time
to come out and watch. It is GOOD entertainment.
We encourage you to spruce up the exterior of your homes and yards as weather permits. We will
be participating in an area -wide Spring Clean-up on May 6ffi. It will include formulating groups to
"pick-up" designated areas of the city. If you would like to participate either individually or as a
group, please let us know. More information on this activity will be forthcoming.
Thanks to all of you who make Chubbuck such a marvelous place to live and do business.

Branch Chipping This Spring
As a courtesy, each spring season the
Maintenance Department will come to
your home and chip smaller branches
trimmed from bushes or trees until the
end_ These branches must be no
more than 4 inches in diameter at the
base and must be placed in your front
yard behind the sidewalk. When you
are ready, just call Public Works at 237-
2430, and we will put you on our list
for chipping. It may take a day or two,
depending on how busy our
Maintenance crew is at the time.
Remember, this service is only through
June 30``'! Also consider the Spring
Cleanup on May 6`' for getting your
property looking sharp.

along your street were
lower or reduce crime in
the neighborhood. We count on our
residents to report lights that are not
working, and the city is paying for
them whether they burn or not. They
are not metered for kilowatt hours.
You can help us keep this important
service running for your convenience
and security. Please call Public Works
at 237-2430 about any street lights
that are broken or burned out. We will
notify Idaho Power so they can fix it,
which may take up to two weeks.
Your New Cleanup Connection
We are happy to announce the city has arranged
with the county landfill to waive charges related to
our cleanup truck. In the past, this dump truck was
brought to households for an initial fee of $28,00
per load, Beginning April 1, this new arrangement
will allow a household to use the cleanup truck
ONCE per year at no charge. The name for this
new program is Cleanup Connection,
All rules regarding waste that is restricted still apply.
In general, hazardous waste and construction
project materials, such as shingles and concrete,
are not allowed in the truck or in any of our
sanitation containers at all. We encourage citizens
to take advantage of this opportunity to make their
yards or neighborhoods cleaner and more
attractive at no cost! To check available dates,
call Public Works at 237-2430, but you must visit in
person to reserve our Cleanup Connection truck,
Tell It To City Hall
In our democratic form of government, city employees are public servants, We are anxious to serve you the best
way we can. There are many maintenance and operational problems that are faced daily. City employees find
many of these problems and take care of them before citizens become aware of them. Other times, you may
spot something we have missed. We encourage you to tell us about these problems, so we can fix them for you.
There are also times you might wish to pass on a good word to city workers. We invite you to use this form to "Tell
It To City Hall":
