This past Monday was Memorial
day, the day we take time to remember those that have served all of
us so that we may have the freedoms, rights and lifestyle we
currently enjoy. During our extra day off it is important to keep our
armed forces personnel in our thoughts and prayers. The city was
decorated with our flags and many of my neighbors have the
Kasson-Mantorville flags flying in their yards.
If you were unable to remember those that have paid the ultimate
price of freedom this past weekend I encourage you to do so this
week. While it is never enough to just say thank you, a heart felt
“Thank You” does go a long way to mend a heart wounder by war and
or separation. On behalf of the City and from myself, I extend a warm
and must deserved Thank You! To all of our service personnel.
The City engineer will be at the next
regular City Council meeting to discuss street repairs as well as our
waste water treatment plans. We are looking at doing two street
projects this year as well as the waste water treat project. The City
is planning on opening bids for awarding some of the work at our June
6 “special meeting”.
The City has formed a ad-hock one time
committee to expedite the review and proposed changes to our zoning
and ordinances. Specifically we are looking at what a “transitional”
zone is allowed to contain as well as what is allowed for accessory
structures in R1 and R2 areas. Those that would like to make
suggestions, have questions or would like to share an idea can send
me an email, leave a post on my blog or attend a City Council
meeting. After the sub committee looks at possible areas to change
the work will be returned to the full council and we will have many
more meeting about this and will post a public hearing notice prior
to any formal adoption of any proposed change.
Finally just a reminder that the cliff
is still eroding and the City and County are looking into corrective
measures. I pointed out in my last article that the cliff has become
even more unsafe over this past winter and that the situation has
changed from what it was in the past. Please do not attempt to swing
off the cliff!
Yours
in service,
Chuck
