Bpy Cop’s ©wow KW ponmlkjihgfedcba • * The orcliiiciricc stTtcs th<it no one I want to address several things this month. First, the City Ordinance concerning nuisanc . without keeping them can dismantle a vehicle on any property within the city limits. This also goes for having many vehicp^ke running or licensed. This ordinance also covers items such as swimming pools. A swimming pool attractive nuisance. ‘ Therefore anyone having such a swimming pool is subject to fines and law suits from any swimming pool. This also works for vehicles that have been sitting for extended periods of tune with trash but suc h g p borhood them moved to a junkyard. Vehicles not moved could face fines of up to $250.00 per day. Take pride in your o I have noticed several people driving around without seatbelts. I am giving everyone this warning ... p ease the penalty of a $89 citation. We had an auto accident out on Fish Lake Road and none of the occupants were wearing seat e . They were fortunate that they weren ’t killed. Every occupant was under 18 years of age. Two of the occupants were un er years o age. All were out after mid-night. Parents need to take charge of their kids. I am not here to baby sit the lads of our town. I s *-° the parents to ensure that their child is in compliance. On a good note, I do want to thank the lads that helped pull the picnic ta e ac < to it’s original spot at the falls. You always hear about the bad things that lads do. Rarely do you hear about the good things that are done. This was a very good effort of these youngsters and they should be proud. A new police officer has been hired. Officer David Teresi will begin work on May 1, 2000. David has several years experience in law enforcement, especially working with our youth. David will be a very welcome addition to our staff. Take time to say hello and introduce yourself. Who sleeps with a pig? Answer next month. Who got his 4X4 stuck in the mud last week. These compelling questions next issue in our continuing saga Public W orks; News By Pete Vorbeck WATER, VANDALS, THE GOOD AND THE BAD The DELIVERY part of the Town ’s new water system has been completed. All service connections to individual properties have been installed. Everyone is now receiving water through the new (and improved) water system. A cleanup crew has already begun restoring areas affected by the construction process. This includes Town rights-of-way, as well as private properties. Cleanup and restoration depends on the weather, but the work is expected to be finished early in May. Preliminary work on the STORAGE part of the new system began the last week of April. Site Preparation for the 500,0000 gallon reservoir tank is underway. No completion date has been set yet. As with cleanup; the weather is in charge ODDS AND ENDS Butte Falls racked up two big ZEROS last month. Public Works had hoped for some volunteer help with the Town park project. ZERO! A Public Hearing on the Town ’s Charter revision was held but the PUBLIC was a no-show. Only those who put the new Charter together and a couple of others attended. A virtual ZIP ! The Dork Vandals from the Land of DUH were about their work again last month. The Falls Park viewing platform was damaged. Also, one of the picnic tables, which was attached to a buried concrete block by chain, was uprooted and pushed over the bank It probably took several individuals to move the weight of the table and concrete. And the Good and the bad? Wise guys from ancient times to the present have observed that one goes with the other. If s a package deal. Iftrashing Falls Park is the bad, whafs the good> The good appeared in the form of a group of Butte Falls students who were in Big Butte canyon to work on a trail construction project They did not like what they saw from the viewing platform. The picnic table was hung up on a bush halfway down the slope between the platform and n r v They took it upon themselves to GRUNT the table, concrete block and all, inch by inch back to the top of the b k W ‘ h Utte themselves because of the steep rocky embankment. A hearty THANK YOU to all of you! Your spirit is noticed and 1 '^ecL
