City
Council report
Street
plans, student programs on agenda
[NOV.
21, 2000] Several
topics relating to streets and improvements were addressed at Monday
evening's meeting of the Lincoln City Council.
|
Mark
Mathon, city engineer, told council members that the improvements to
be made on Union Street will begin this spring.
"The
contractor decided to start this spring instead of now, due to the
cold weather," Mathon said.
"Improvements
to Gavin and State streets are being concluded, with some finishing
jobs to be done to yards," he added.
"Plans
to resurface Wyatt Avenue, including a small portion of Primm Road,
will be submitted to the Illinois Department of Transportation about
the middle of February for approval," Mathon stated.
The
council also voted to install stop signs on Seventh through 11th
streets where they intersect with North State Street, making North
State a through street.
Rich
Ludolph, chief of police, and Rich Montcalm, community liaison
officer, presented tokens of appreciation to Northwest,
Central
and Washington-Monroe schools for their assistance when Officer
Montcalm recently presented a "violence prevention"
program to the students.

Montcalm
is currently presenting a program called the "Frilly
and Miller Show" to
students in area schools. The program is designed to instill in
students the importance of choices, respect and responsibility and
utilizes teacher participation in the presentation. Approximately
800 to 900 students have seen the program locally.
Both
Ludolph and Montcalm also expressed their appreciation to Mayor Joan
Ritter for making it possible for the programs to be presented.
Ludolph
also reported to the council that four students had been funded to
attend a meeting of the Drug Education Alliance on Monday and
Tuesday. The meeting consisted of 1,700 students and adults and
addressed the Teens Out Teaching Success (TOTS) program.

The
council also voted to hire Darren Coffee as fireman to replace Tom
Cecil who has retired. Coffee is next on the list of eligible
applicants and will begin employment on Dec 1.
In
other business, the council voted to accept the high bids on older
equipment that was being eliminated and also to accept bids for a
new 1-ton truck that would be purchased for the sewage treatment
plant.

[NOV.
21, 2000] Yes,
Mason City will be the place to enjoy the Christmas spirit.
Sunday evening Dec. 3, the annual Parade of Lights will again twine

to be all aglow as they walk, ride and bike along the parade
route.
|
Following
the parade the public is invited to make their way to the Civic
Center for special treats.
![](../../images/ads/LDN/when%20you%20see%20news%20happen%20copy.jpg)
A
new event, Parade of Trees, will be aglow throughout the Museum and
the Civic Center. Santa has been invited to pop in and visit
with the children if his schedule allows. The public will have
a chance to vote for their favorite decorated theme tree among the
eight entries on exhibit in the museum. The trees are being
sponsored by the Women's Club, Mike's Pizza, the Mason City
Historical Society, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the C.
L. U. B., Boy and Girl Scouts, and the city clerk’s office.
There
will be eight additional trees decorated in and throughout the Civic

very good purpose. As a service project the Brownies Mitten
Tree will afford warm gloves, hats and scarves for underprivileged
folks.

Committee
discusses
recycling costs, options
[NOV.
18, 2000] The
Logan County Waste Management Committee met Wednesday evening and
discussed various ways that could be explored in order to cut
expenses in the current state-mandated recycling program.
|
Kenny
Schwab, director of the programs for the committee, told board
members that expenses associated with pickup and processing of those
items make it difficult for the program to be anywhere near
self-sufficient.
"The
problem is facing many municipalities where they are having the same
problems in recycling items, specifically with glass
containers," he said.
![](../../images/ads/gcs/GCS-ad.jpg)
Schwab
attended a three-day conference in Cincinnati that addressed
national recycling programs and some of the steps that are being
taken in other areas of the country.
[to
top of second column in this article]
|
The
decision of Lake Area, a Springfield company where recyclable items
are taken, to begin assessing $75 for large loads of material and
$25 for pickup-size loads, will add about $7,800 to nearly $10,000
per year to the committee's budget.
![](../../images/ads/LDN/when%20you%20see%20news%20happen%20copy.jpg)
Grant
Eaton, Lincoln's representative on the council, will research other
ways pickup might be done, as well as other sources that would be
available for processing these items.
The
survey is to be done in December, with the board reviewing the
findings at its January meeting.
