Message from the Mayor:
City Hall 5160 Yellowstone / PO Box 5604237-2400
November 2012
It was a tremendous experience to be involved in the Grand Opening of the Herbergers Department Store last
week. They have certainly added a vitality to the Mall and we wish them every success in their venture here. If
you haven't yet had the chance to visit them, I would encourage you to do so. Their success is dependent on our
patronage. They are a wonderful addition to our retail business community.
I hope that November 6th is an important date to you and you are already planning to vote. If you have any ques-
tions related to the voting process, call the county elections office (236-7330). It is also important to get informa-
tion on the candidates and issues to be voted on. Please decide to vote and then make sure you follow through
with those plans. One vote can make a difference.
Our Chubbuck Police and Fire Departments will again be sponsoring a "trunk or treat" activity on Halloween
Day in the Pineridge Mall. We express our appreciation to all who made donations for this event. Some of the
Mall Businesses will also provide for "trick or treating" during the same hours with most of the stores participat-
ing. They ask that masks, heavily painted faces or hoods not be worn and that no fake or toy weapons will be al-
lowed. The fun will begin at 6:00 PM. Again this year we are asking those in neighborhoods that would prefer
children NOT come to their door to please leave their porch lights off. We encourage either an adult or older sib-
ling to accompany little ones. Let's do all we can to make sure Halloween is safe and fun..
We have had an early taste of winter weather in October. As we head into another winter season lets all be
aware of those in our neighborhoods who may need some assistance with their winter "chores". I again thank you
for your efforts to make Chubbuck such a great place to live and do business.

A Note From Our Police Department:
With the approach of the holidays we need
to keep in mind a few issues that may save
the day. When shopping this season avoid
Et,
leaving valuables in your vehicle in plain ,
sight. Keep your vehicle doors locked
while gone and keep an eye out for suspicious behavior around you. At home,
lock your doors and if away consider using a timer on your lights at night.
Animal issues sometimes arise when our four footed friends create nuisances
such as barking and running at large. Please be mindful of your neighbor by
keeping your animal's noise levels at a respectful minimum and by keeping them
on your own property. Barking dogs if found to be an annoyance whether it both-
ers the owner or not can result in a citation. Please be aware and courteous of
your neighbors' right to reasonable peace.
If we can keep these issues in mind and abide by these laws we can continue to
enjoy this wonderful place to live. You may clarify these codes by
going to http//www.cityofchubbuck.us/cpd/codeenforcement.aspx
or by calling 237-7172 asking for Code Enforcement.
