Mayor Steven Lambert and Trustee Christina Stark reported the Christmas in the Park event succeeded and highlighted community engagement metrics (47 e‑statement signups, 21 auto payments); trustees discussed potential Wi‑Fi at the Community Center and restarting a village business directory.
Mayor Steven Lambert opened the Jan. 8 Village of Loami Board meeting and thanked organizers and residents for the village’s Christmas in the Park celebration, saying he received positive feedback from attendees.
Trustee Christina Stark told the board that 47 residents have signed up for e‑statements and 21 have enrolled in automatic payments.
