Home My WebLink About07Quarterly Newsletter Volume 1, Issue 3 CHUBBUCK July 2016 i n n H n Message from the Mayor: Greetings, I was going to start by saying, don't you just love this time of year? And then I realized I love every time of year as I am sure each of you do to. The changing seasons are beautiful, each in its own way. Now as to why I was feeling this way about the middle of June. Summer is here. We have just experienced a wonderful Spring where things begin to green up and grow. New life is all around us. Now for a lot of Summer time fun in the sun. Family picnics and outdoor adventures will be plentiful. I hope you each have some great plans for your Summer months. Just remember that Summer time efforts will bring greatly anticipated Fall feasts. The topic of community beautification comes up often in many circles. Do we have some areas of need to have a healthy, safe, and attractive city? Yes, we do. Now the question becomes; who has responsibility to see to these needs? It is my opinion that government should have a limited role in this. Where health and safety are concerned and in proper encouragement government has a role. Aside from this the business community, neighborhoods, neighbors, friends, and family can accomplish the larger portion of this work. Each of us, individually, should assess for ourselves where we feel these challenges exist and then determine what we may be able to properly do to be part of the solution. It needs to start by each of us who own property having the commitment to keeping our little piece of this community orderly and attractive. Now that is an interesting standard. Who should determine the level of that standard? It is my suggestion that individual property owners need to set that standard for themselves. We should each maintain properties that we, and our community can be proud of. If the business community, neighborhoods, neighbors, friends, and family see that some have set that standard to low, or are having difficulty maintaining that standard, they should find ways to encourage, inspire, and assist. There will be those who have financial and physical limitations. This community has always shown the desire and commitment to reach out to those in need. We have had some individuals from our business community step up and make a commitment to help beautify our Main Streets. How exciting. In the coming days you may notice some beautification efforts in this area if they can secure the needed permissions. I would like to offer my personal thanks, and as the Mayor, the thanks of the City of Chubbuck for this effort by �.. those involved. Let's allow this mind set to inspire us to recommit to doing our part. We at the city will put our best efforts into modeling this standard. What a wonderful community we live in.
