Our Commissioners meeting was moved to last Friday and addressed the following agenda items: opening with prayer and the pledges, approved the previous minutes, approved payment of the bills, citizens forum (an inquiry was made regarding our chipper service), a new member for the EDC was approved, received department reports, approved appointment of Dale Curb to the Upper Leon River Municipal Water Authority Board, discussed promp and timely reporting of workers compensation claims, and the second reading approving the 2024-2025 City budget. The Mayor discussed the current projects under way in Gorman and then they adjourned. There will be a preconstruction meeting on the 13 th for the downtown revitalization project that will replace selected sidewalks and add some additional lighting downtown.
A question was raised at our meeting about the city chipping services. The City does have a chipper and offers the service of chipping fallen limbs that are under three inches in diameter. We only offer this service when the city crew has time to do it. It is not a priority. It is a free service when the crew can get to it after a request for the service has been received by the city office. Limbs should be neatly stacked curbside, no limbs over three inches in diameter and not in the street. If the pile includes large limbs we will pass it by. We are happy to offer this service when we can and will do our best to do it more often.
We will be having a Grand Reveal of the recent Library renovation June 22nd. Details will be in another article and posted on their new LED sign in their front window. We look forward to greater local use of our library!
