“ It does take a lot of time, but I love to do it, and I really feel like we are doing a good thing.”
Hansen said. Hansen has been the president for almost two years. Among the things he has done include; putting pots of flowers on main street, awarding they best yards in the city with many different categories, and made his own yard better.
“ I had to make my own yard look like better, especially if I was going to be judging all the yards in the city, I had to make my yard look better.”
The minutes for the meeting included many different things. Among of those were what to do about next years city Christmas Tree.”
There were many opinions involved in the light hearted debate. Among the most opinionated were those of council member Jeff Rich.
“ I really though that they would like the idea of having a real tree this year.” Rich said
Rich was one of the council members who thought that the time had come to have a real Christmas tree. The City has had only artificial trees.
“ It is just a little to risky to have a real tree. We just do not know what could be in the trees. With all the types of allergies that people have, you just do not know who is going to walk by the tree.” Hansen said.
“I feel that the committee makes an impact for the good of the City. We may not be as visible as are other committees, but we do our share. Many of the projects we do go un known by the general public, but if went for a small drive down Main Street you would be surprised just how much we have done.” Hansen said
