THURSDAY JANUARY 7, 2010
11:40 AM

The weather is bad in Wynne. We had some snow last night, but the problem is that the temperature is dropping and the high predicted for tomorrow is only 17.

Because of the weather we are not picking up trash today. We think that the streets are in no condition to have our employees and equipment on the streets. This will get us behind, but safety is the most important item to consider in these situations.

Jerry and I have discussed the possibility of purchasing a sand and salt spreader. We now have to put out sand and salt from the back of a truck with shovels. This is not a very safe activity and is not very efficient. We will probably purchase a spreader that can be placed in the back of our dump truck.

Pat's last day of work will be tomorrow. She was given that option yesterday, so January 8, 2010 will be her last day of work.

Mayor, I applaud your concern for your employees during the inclement weather. Maybe you could have a talk with the school superintendent. Apparently he does not share the same concern for the students. Thank you
