City officials celebrate victory in cyanide limit battle

In a recent government meeting, significant progress was reported regarding the cyanide limit in local permits. Officials announced that after extensive efforts, the state has agreed to remove the cyanide limit, allowing for quarterly reporting without restrictions. This decision marks a notable victory for the team involved, who emphasized the necessity of this change.

The meeting also highlighted ongoing audits by the state board of accounts, which are currently underway. Additionally, the city is hosting its annual \"Taste of the City\" event, featuring local restaurants with special menus, aimed at boosting community engagement and supporting local businesses.

Upcoming events include a mayor's roundtable expected to draw around 70 participants, and a free educational session for children hosted by Indiana Wild, focusing on animal care. The city is also making strides in community projects, with the housing authority working on a rental registration program and the park board approving cost-saving measures for lighting installations at Eagle Park.

Concerns were raised regarding a proposed drug rehabilitation center, with a meeting scheduled to discuss community feedback. The tree board is planning tree planting initiatives for September, inviting community involvement.

Overall, the meeting underscored a commitment to community development, fiscal responsibility, and active engagement with residents on important local issues.
