Tavares council praises utility crews for freeze response, hears youth council and community event updates
Summary
Council members and staff praised utility crews for responding to about 80 freeze‑related calls over three days, heard from a mayor’s youth council member about the program, and got event notices for an African American Heritage Festival concert at Mary’s Library on Feb. 6.
City staff and council members used their reports to thank departments and to publicize upcoming events.
The city administrator (speaker 10) thanked utility crews and staff for responding during a three‑day freeze, saying the city answered roughly 80 calls to assist residents with frozen private water lines and helped coordinate repairs and referrals. Council members commended staff for the response and noted the effort likely saved replacement and training costs by retaining employees through operational support.
A staff member (speaker 11) promoted the African American Heritage Festival concert at Mary’s Library on Friday, Feb. 6 at 6:30 p.m., featuring Willie Green and the Soul Therapy Band. The mayor’s youth council member Gab (speaker 12), a senior at Tavares High School, described the mayor’s youth council as an educational experience and encouraged others to consider participation.
Council members also reported on their recent Tallahassee trip to meet state delegation and DOT officials about local projects and office hours scheduled for community outreach.
