MAYOR'S DISCUSSION First of all, everyone can see the two thank you letters that we partner with these organizations to provide services to our residents. Attended Pete Edlund's retirement party last week. It was a wonderful event and he will be missed. The Mayor of Parkville called and said that they would be forever grateful for the assistance Riverside Detectives gave during their murder investigation. FPAL pool party last week, the National Night Out, and the Y programs are all such wonderful programs and enhances everyone's quality of life. They are such great events for our residents. Deffenbaugh have been throwing recyclables in with the regular trash again. I would like to make a sustainability committee consisting of inembers from each ward along with Tom Wooddell, to address issues such as the trash and recycling. We would take all the information to the committee to begin reviewing the first part of September and they could bring their recommendation to us prior to the end of the Deffenbaugh contract. BOARD OF ALDERMEN Alderman Thatcher attended the National Night Out and it was a COMMENTS blast for the kids and me; I did recognize the water fountains are not properly working at the far side of the pool. Another concern is the relining of some sewer lines in our neighborhood. It caused some drying out of traps in the basements and caused odors in the homes. It would be great if we could find out their schedule ahead of time and let residents know. Public Works Director Tom Wooddell explained that he spoke the company and the proper procedures had not been followed, causing the problems and they were very apologetic, but if the process is properly followed there should not be these problems. Alderman Hurt — Nothing at this time. Alderman Super — Nothing at this time. 4 Alderman Fuller agrees how important the recycling program is and would like to see it exercised by all residents and would like to see bins with a lid system.
