Commissioner Brown indicated Ball Horticultural held their cleanup event as scheduled on October 9,
2020. She was able to assemble nine volunteers. They had good weather and the event was very
successful.
Pumpkin Recycling Event
The event is scheduled to be held at First United Methodist Church parking lot at 643 East Washington
Street, from 9:00 a.m. — 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, 2020. Some members questioned if the City
was currently advertising the event on social media and the message board at Main and Neltnor.
Holiday Light Recycling
There was discussion about drop off locations possibly not being open to the public due to the pandemic.
It was determined most would still be open. Mr. Wilcox will check to make sure there is no issue having
City Hall as a drop off location and check with Rosemary about advertising for the recycling. Dates for
collection would be Friday after Thanksgiving November 27, 2020 — January 17, 2021
