All city checks need to be signed by two city officials. In other business the council agreed that city hall will be closed on Dec. 24, Christmas Eve day. As with all holidays, public works will be on call.

She said the sidewalks and paving are complete on Elder, Quaid and Center streets and the chip seal on Hager will be done this spring. The council also heard a report from Doherty, who said the city had to replace a 20-foot section of sewer line on Willow Drive that included in the ceremony and on the tree, nor does the person who requested the remembrance need to be present at the ceremony. Disque says the idea came from a similar, more w id esp read , cam paign that helps raise funds for hospice programs. “There’s a Light Up A Life campaign they’ve been doing for many years, but its more of a national thing,” she says. “(Lights of Hope) is kind of based had filled with roots to the point that the line had become plugged.
