St. Clair honors parade volunteers, plans holiday lighting contest and swears in new officer
Summary
At the Dec. 15 meeting the mayor and staff praised volunteers who ran the Christmas parade, announced a holiday lighting contest and a planned City Hall closure for a funeral, and Chief Sites swore in a new police officer.
City officials on Dec. 15 recognized parade volunteers, announced a holiday-lighting contest, and swore in a new police officer during the St. Clair Board of Aldermen meeting.
An administrator (identified later in the record as Jason) thanked Amanda Fox and parks staff for coordinating the Christmas parade after the previous coordinator stepped back. “I would not have been able to get it done without Amanda’s help,” he said, and the board noted public praise for the Main Street lights. The administrator said scoring sheets for a holiday lighting contest were distributed to board members and that the city will post contest details online.
The administrator also told the board that, once the date is confirmed, city officials intend to close City Hall so staff may attend a funeral and to honor the memory of the deceased.
Chief Sites led the oath of office for a newly sworn police officer; the transcript records an oath exchange and applause as the officer was photographed for the city website. A board member presented an evergreen to the Sykes family in memory of Alderman Sykes.
The board noted it will dispense with a December meeting and expects to meet regularly beginning Jan. 27; public comment was invited and no speakers came forward. The meeting closed with holiday greetings.
