CITY COUNCIL
DISCUSSES LIEN
-Continuedfrom PAGE ONE
H ealy as an a u th o rize d
check signer and add the
public works director Chad
Doherty as a check signer.
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.
The council heard an
update from Cutsforth on
city construction projects,
and she said the B arratt
Blvd. project is completed,
with the handrails being
installed and the last o f
the landscaping complete.
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.
She and Di Salvo agree
that they w ould like to
continue from this point
members who have loved
ones they’d like included
on the tree, we’d be happv
to include them, whether
th e y ’re hospice or not.
Disque says.
A n y o n e w ho has a
loved one they would like
rem em b ered during the
Lights o f Hope ceremony
on Dec. 5 can call Pioneei
Memorial Home I lealth and
Hospice at 54l-67<i-2d4o

been reminding people to
insulate their water meters.
He said one o f the best ways
to do it is take some regular
R ll insulation available at
the hardware store, put it in
a plastic bag and place the
bag over the water meter.
“ D o n ’t use p a c k in g

make a big mess.”
Doherty told the council
public works was also in the
process o f m oving some
“good dirt” from the Sperry
Street project over to Hager
Park to use to even out
around the sidewalk, and
also make for better soil for
the lawn.
It was also reported
that the city hired a new
