HomeMy WebLinkAboutVol 1 Issue 1 Greetings, I hope you all had a great holiday season. It truly is a wonderful time of the year. There are 2 issues that I would like to talk to you about in this new letter. First, I have been working closely with the Post Office to see that we have appropriate service in our community. They have been positively responsive from Washington DC, our regional hub in Salt Lake City and our local folks. I hope these efforts will restore mail delivery service to our area that is acceptable. If any of you have issues that need to be addressed by the Post Office please make my office aware of them so that we can see that they are brought to the attention of those who can fix them. I do not believe that things are as they need to be yet, but I do believe service has gotten better over the last few weeks as we have worked with them. I will stay on top of this issue as long as it takes to get it right. Second, it has become necessary for the city to discontinue use of the free recycle roll off containers located at City Hall and the two elementary schools. The company we contract with to provide these services has let us know that the price per ton they can get for recycled materials has dropped substantially and they have had to pass those costs on to the City. In the month of October these free services created a loss to the City of $2,474 .00. It is our hope that City residents that have been using these containers will consider signing up for a residential cart and continue participating in the recycle program. With warm regards, Mayor Kevin England January 2016 Important Dates to Remember *Dec.31-City Office Close early *Jan. 1-City Office Closed Jan. 6-City Council Work Study/4PM Jan. 6-City Council Meeting/6PM Jan.12-LUDC Meeting/7PM Jan.15-Utility Bill Due Holiday & Garbage Service Notes * The City Offices will be closed for the New Year Holiday on Thursday, December 31st at 12:30pm and will open Monday, January 4th at 7:30am.

Quarterly Newsletter Please always have your garbage and recycle can out by 7:00 AM January 2016 Message from the Mayor: Snow Removal Policy Just a reminder about parking and snow removal! Please be courteous by removing snow and ice from walkways, sidewalks and parking lots under your care. City Code ( 08-28-030) requires owners or renters of properties to provide “all weather passage” to pedestria ns, which means you must shovel your snow. You can be cited for not shoveling your snow! We ask that those who plow, shovel or blow snow into city streets, please do not. Please place your snow on your property and not on the city street . Winter parking is a problem when those who park on the streets (legally and illegally) are in the way of snow removal equipme nt. Please park all vehicles off the street if at all possible during winter to facilitate snow removal. If a snow emergency is declared by the mayor, failure to remove vehicles from the street may result in the vehicle being towed to an alternate location and paying a tow bill. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Chubbuck Police Code Enforcement at 237-7172. Volume 1, Issue 1 Please give us your opinion on this newsletter!

Please contact Wendy Butler by calling 237-2430, or go to “Tell It to City Hall” on our website or on Facebook to let us know your thoughts.
