The city is now using one knuckle boom truck full time and we are using another one when the driver is free from other duties to remove class three trash from the residents homes in Wynne. This new system seems to be working well. I hope that using this system allows us to stay up with the volume of trash that is being place on the streets.

The city started operating our new residential garbage truck on Monday. We are sending a crew in front of the truck and making sure that the carts are placed on the street properly. If the carts are not properly on the street this crew is placing them on the street in a position so that the can will be properly emptied. They are also placing a note on the can informing the resident that this is the only time this service will be provided. Beginning with their next trash day if the can in not properly placed on the street it will not be emptied. We had not planned to put the new truck in to operation until next Monday, but we thought that we would give the residents one more chance to comply with the new regulations and if they were not in compliance, we would leave them a note. The new truck is working well.

Amy accepted a job yesterday. She is excited about returning to work in the funeral industry. She will be able to live in her home and not have to move to work for this funeral home. Please keep Amy in your prayers as she begins a new chapter in her life. Also thank you for your concern for her during this most difficult time in her life.

Pat went back to the doctor on Monday. He told us that she was making good progress and that if progress continues, she will be able to return to work in a month. Thank you for your concerns, food, calls and prayers during this time accident and recovery for Pat.
