MAYOR COMMENTS Mayor Elumbaugh reminded everyone that they should have already received their 2010 census in the mail. He urged everyone to complete their census and mail it back in a timely manner. The Mayor said the grant that we applied for to help in the cost to move the dispatch department was not approved, but he did say there were enough funds in the CMRS fund and he would like the council's approval to start the work. The council agreed to start the construction to relocate the Dispatch Department. The Mayor announced that there will be a vacancy on the Parks Commission. He encouraged anyone interested in serving on the Parks Commission should contact City Hall. The vacancy is a City position.
