Address and Report: Attended the
Emergency Management Meeting on January 30 in Newton. Everything was approved for the budget.
Discussed an alternate contact person for our community. Meetings are held 2-3
times per year and last 30-60 minutes.
Looking for a volunteer to be an alternative representative. Ted Schultz agreed. Mayor Smith contacted Cessford's
about road updates. They will be on site on Wednesday evening. Would like suggestions on where we would like
top priority given. Council suggested
coming down on Fore Seasons Drive, including Parkview
Drive, if possible. Will keep looking at other options in the area.
