Tire Collection day – City Council agreed we should continue to do it, it was decided that it should be done the same day as bulk trash.
Lecompton United Methodist Church would like to put a food pantry collection box in the City Office, the council discussed it, and it was decided that yes, one could be placed in the City Office.
Cyndi Treaster with PRIDE provided an update. Weight Watchers will start to hold meetings on Wednesdays in the PRIDE building. The lounge is up and running. The community library still has some work to be done, but it is close to completion, it will probably be ready to open after the rummage sale. Enough volunteers have agreed to work the library so it can be open about 25 hours a week. The PRIDE group got the message to only have City Superintendent Justin VanWinkle blow down the boiler, they ask that he continue to write in the notebook when he does it.
