The City Council of Bruceville-Eddy held its regular meeting on June 26, 2025, addressing several key community issues and celebrating local achievements. The meeting commenced with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a roll call of council members and city officials.
One of the most significant highlights was a mayoral proclamation recognizing the fiftieth anniversary of the URJ Green Family Camp. The proclamation celebrated the camp's long-standing contributions to the community, including providing employment opportunities and serving as a resource during emergencies. Mayor Linda Owens announced that July 12, 2025, would be officially designated as URJ Green Family Camp Day in Bruceville-Eddy.
In community announcements, it was noted that the upcoming First Friday Bingo event would be canceled for July due to the holiday, with the next event scheduled for August 1. Additionally, the city is offering fans to residents in need, as many households lack air conditioning during the hot summer months. The city has also made bottled water available to residents affected by recent water main breaks.
During the citizens' presentation segment, Frank Warren from the Eddy Masonic Lodge presented the Community Builders Award to City Administrator Kent Matin for his dedication to the community. Matin expressed gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing the collaborative efforts of the city staff in improving Bruceville-Eddy.
The meeting concluded with reminders about upcoming city closures for Independence Day and a scheduled roll-off collection date on July 12, encouraging residents to utilize bulk pickup services for larger items.
Overall, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to community service and engagement, highlighting both local achievements and ongoing support for residents in need.
