Ups and Downs

Last week had some ups and downs. On the down side, it is budget time and the City Manager has been preparing her budget for presentation to the City Council tonight. The proposed budget includes layoffs and a wage freeze. Some of our co-workers were notified last week that their positions are proposed to be eliminated or changed to part-time. Times are tough all over, but it is really hard when it hits home.

On the up side, the Community Center Atrium is filled with a wonderful art display of clocks and lamps created by Randall Cleaver. It is worth coming in to see them! Many have switches to turn on the light or get some whimsical part moving.

Another up, of course, is the weather. Get out and play!

Finally, if you haven’t sent back your Census form, please do so. It is so important! If you have any questions, stop by our Census Questionnaire Assistance Center in the Community Center Atrium. It is staffed Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 pm and mid-day Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 am to 1 pm.
