MAYOR TO MOW LAWN?
In support of volunteerism and cutting costs, the CM PRESS told the Council about a mayor back east who volunteers to mow a city owned lawn. Mayor Mansoor then said he'd have to leave the meeting early to mow City Hall's lawn. Should we hold our breath?

RESIDENTS WANT POOL TO STAY OPEN IN WINTER
To cut costs, the City wants to close the pool at the Downtown Recreation Center during the winter months. The CM PRESS suggested to the Council last night that it rent the pool to a private group for a buck a year (or for the winter months) and let them run it. We have a precedent in the Senior Center which is also rented to a private group for a buck a year.

  1. I agree 100% public officials should have their privacy and their personal lives are not our business.
