City staff report: spring drop-off busy, 395 seniors signed up for discount program; Arbor Day and volunteer pickup dates set
Summary
Director for public service and safety Mr. Fox told the council the spring drop-off program has been busy and reported 395 seniors signed up for a discount program. He announced an Arbor Day event on the 24th and an employee volunteer pickup on the 25th; council also asked about potential water-table impacts from a nearby data center and staff said they do not expect an effect.
Mr. Fox, the city's director for public service and safety, told the St. Marys City Council that the spring drop-off kicked off last week and "it's been very busy." He said, "as of close of business today, we've had 395 seniors sign up for the discount" program noted in the staff report; the transcript uses the phrase "refugees rate," but the meeting record does not specify the formal program name or eligibility criteria.
Mr. Fox also announced an Arbor Day event at Bill Park on the 24th and an employee volunteer pickup day on the 25th. A council member asked whether a nearby data center would affect the local water table; staff responded they did not expect an impact and noted the Taz River Valley flows toward Fort Wayne rather than north of town.
Councilors praised a new sidewalk on Indiana Avenue and discussed plans for an elected-officials open house and a later public open house to preview the nearly completed grist mill.
