River
Heights snow plow should be back at work by Monday
By Paul Kelley
January 23, 2008 | RIVER HEIGHTS -- Residents of River
Heights will notice the snow being removed from their
streets a lot faster now.
For three weeks the city has had only one working
snow plow. Kent Parker, public works supervisor for
the city, reported to the City Council Tuesday that
"the broken truck has now been fixed." The truck is
having the sander shaft fixed now, and is expected to
be ready to plow by Monday.
A motion was presented to the council to support the
White Ribbon Against Pornography proclamation. The council
approved that motion.
Mayor Bill Baker said the city is in the process of
looking for a backup generator for the city water pumps.
The generator would be used in the case of a power outage.
A 400-kilowatt generator will be needed.
Councilman Blake Wright said he was contacted by an
AT&T representative about a possible cell phone tower
in the city. Wright said AT&T had told him there is
a dead cell phone spot in River Heights, and the tower
would help fix the problem. The council took no action
regarding the tower; it was presented for information
purposes only.
Other city news:
-- Planning commission will meet Tuesday, Jan. 29 at
7 p.m.
-- There will be an emergency preparedness meeting Jan.
29 at 7 p.m. in the basement of the city office building.
