Yesterday was the first day that the city did not pick up class three and four trash. There were a few residents that went to the city shop to dispose of trash. They were told that the city no longer picks up or accepts the trash at the city shop.

The code enforcement officer was busy yesterday going around the city making a list of the citizens who are in violation of the ordinance relating to trash on the street. The plan is to issue a warning and give the citizens ten days to remove their trash. If no action is taken by the property owner a ticket will be issued after the ten days have passed and they will have to go court.

The damage on north Killough has not been repaired. The citizen told me that her insurance company will pay for the damage. The company has taken bids and authorized the work to proceed, but the contractor who got the job was on vacation last week. The citizen told me that the work would be done this week. I went on the street this morning about 8:00 AM and the work had not been started.

The street department is completing the patching in preparation for the chip and seal work to be completed this summer. The contractor plans to do the work next week.

Pat and I went to Amy's on Saturday. We had a good visit. The first thing that we did was as usual was eat. We ate at a Mexican cafe then went to the mall and then to a bookstore.

I will be attending the Woodruff Electric annual meeting tonight in Forrest City. The meeting will last only a few minutes and then the employees and spouces will be treated to dinner.
