She said the sidewalks and paving are com plete on Elder, Quaid and C enter 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 o f sewer line on Willow Drive that included in the ceremony and on the tree, nor does the person who requested the rem embrance need to be present at the ceremony. D isque says the idea came from a similar, more w id e s p re a d , c a m p a ig n that helps raise funds for hospice programs. “T h e re ’s a Light Up A Life campaign they’ve been doing for many years, but its more o f a national thing,” she says. “(Lights o f Hope) is kind o f based off that to honor people in our own area. We wanted to do something more local.” “It’s just nice to know it’s for here,” she adds. “We w anted to do som ething sp ecial for the area we serve.” Disque also mentions that the home health and h o sp ic e did so m e th in g sim ilar several years ago but that it didn’t catch on.

It was also reported that the city hired a new p a rt-tim e p u b lic w o rk s p e rso n . T h e re w ere 11 “good applications,” it was reported.
