We just have a few updates for the summer season.

PETS
Please be sure to clean up after your pets while you are out for a walk, and be sure to keep them on a leash. If you use a lead in the front yard, please keep it short. A lead that allows a dog to almost reach the sidewalk can be intimidating for pedestrians or dogs passing by.

LAWNCARE
As the season goes on, please be mindful of branches drooping low over the sidewalk and prune them as necessary so as not to interfere with those passing by; and please remember to clean up the sidewalk and curb after cutting the grass.

DRIVE 25
Kids are out of school now, so please slow down so that you can stop in time should someone dart into the street in front of you. The speed limit is 25 miles per hour on our streets, please keep that in mind.

SECURITY
Please be sure to keep your car & home doors locked, and keep the garage door closed, too. A garage door opener left in a vehicle that is parked outside is an easy way in, so the door from the garage to the house should be locked, too. It might help all of us if we kept more porch lights on whenever possible, and you may consider adding motion activated lights near the rear entrance to your home.

ANNUAL PICNIC
Mark your calendars for September 26^th. We will hold our annual picnic at Vogt Brothers Park. Please let us know if you’d like to help plan this event.

FIREWORKS
It shall be lawful for any person to set off, use, burn, explode or fire off non-rocket, non-missile or aerial fireworks that do not contain a stick or fin, firecrackers, fireworks, torpedoes, bombs, rockets, pin wheels, fire balloons, Roman candles, toy cannons, toy pistols or other fireworks of a like kind within the municipal boundaries of the City between the hours of 12:00 P.M. and 11:00 P.M. on July third (3rd) and fourth (4th) of each and every calendar year.

YEARLY ASSESSMENT
If you have not yet paid the yearly assessment that was due in March, please do so soon. This money is used to pay for utilities at the entrance to the neighborhood, landscaping, social events, etc. Thanks!

BOATS & RVS
Please remember that it is against city ordinance to keep a boat or RV in front of your home, unless loading or unloading. The Mayor’s Office will occasionally lift this restriction if the river rises and floods storage areas used for boats and RVs. Please keep yourself informed on when this restriction is in place, and when it is suspended. When the restriction is in place, code enforcement officers will patrol the area and write citations as needed.
