Greetings neighbors and friends.  At this writing, we will have come through a couple of times where we had to plow the road as well as salt.  We thank you for your cooperation and patience in getting this snow and ice taken care of.  Remember, please refrain from pushing your snow out into the City streets as it does two things, it hinders Public Works from cleaning the roads and equates to more overtime spent cleaning the roads.  Again, with your help we can get through this.
At out regular City Council meeting, February 4, 2013, there will be a public hearing in regards to the proposed lift station upgrade on South Mississippi Street.  If you have any questions or concerns, please plan on attending the meeting or you can call the Chair of the Sewer Committee, Lisa Smith.
I am still working on a Safe School initiative in regards to the terrible incident in Newtown, CT.  I will be working closely with all the departments as well as the School Administration to compile information present to our community.  More information will follow.
Don’t forget to adopt our Volunteer Fireman and sign up to provide a simple meal as a way to say Thank you for all that they do.  Please contact Fire Chief Brian Seamer.
Please plan on attending your City Council meetings held on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month.  Your input is needed.
Please remember our men and women in uniform; because of what they do and what they have done I am able to write this letter.  God bless each and every one of them.
In closing, I would like to add that it is an honor to serve this community.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free contact me at City Hall 381-4700 or the City cell phone 349-1359, or my home phone at 381-2803.

Sincerely,
Brinson L. Kinzer, Mayor of the City of Blue Grass
