Mayor reports contractor complaints over fiber work, urges residents to support unified ZIP code and lists community programs
Summary
In the mayor's report the mayor said the administration is working with fiber contractors to address yard disruptions, encouraged residents to submit comments in support of a unified ZIP code, announced the 2026 Green Leadership Class and public events, and listed openings for seasonal and full‑time city positions.
During the mayor’s report the mayor told the council that residents have complained about yard and property disruption during the citywide high‑speed fiber installation. The mayor said the administration is using its right‑of‑way oversight to hold contractors accountable, meets regularly with the provider and is drafting legislation to give the city more authority over contractor responsiveness. He asked residents to contact the provider directly and to call his office if matters aren’t resolved.
The mayor urged residents to support a unified ZIP code and said he will meet with congressional staff in March; he encouraged residents to use an online form the city created to submit letters of support.
He announced the 2026 Green Leadership Class (18 participants listed), said income-tax forms will be available online rather than mailed, and outlined seasonal and full-time job openings (summer day-camp staff, sports field monitors, park groundskeepers, road maintenance crew members; full-time positions include income tax administrator and service-worker levels 1 and 2). He also opened applications for the City Tree Advisory Commission (residents only; deadline March 2) and promoted upcoming community events including the Green Schools Foundation’s “Battle of the Slice” on Feb. 28.
The mayor concluded by inviting residents to a morning meetup on Feb. 27 and noting city offices will be closed for Presidents’ Day on March 16.
