There have been lots of complaints about the recycling dumpsters.  When they get full, the wind blows everything onto yards and the people are getting tired of picking it up.  Would you want this in your backyard?  Please flatten your cardboard before you put it in the dumpster.  It saves room.  Please be respectful.  If the dumpster is full, take it home with you and bring it back when the dumpster has been emptied.  The City and surrounding residents will thank you. 

A copy of the golf cart ordinance can be viewed on the city council page under minutes.  Be advised that according to our code and Iowa Code, you must be a licensed driver and have a bicycle safety flag and have a slow moving vehicle sign on your golf cart.

No glass in the recycling!!  The recyclers are finding glass in the recycling bins. We do not accept glass in the recycling, only paper, plastic, cans and cardboard. Please take your glass elsewhere!

Just a reminder.  Now that the snow is finally here, please remember to move your cars so that it will be easier for the plows to clear the streets.  In the case of lots of snow coming, remember to watch or listen to the area stations to see if a snow emergency has been declared.  If a snow emergency is declared, all cars must be off of the street.
