-The City has sent out its first set of dog license renewals since the State got out of the business. Fortunately, City Clerk Donna Dutton had been maintaining a City set of records over the past several years, so when the State dropped out, the transition was seamless. Other towns in Jefferson County have also opted to keep the dog licenses local. My dog Zeppelin is registered.
-Look for debt to be a possible issue in this year's City elections with requests being made to look at several years of bond ordinances. While the City has a self imposed cap on borrowing, and has reduced the scale of borrowing from previous years, the level of debt compared to some other city's is still on the high side.
-I did some research on parking tickets following last week's complaints about chronic day parkers on the south side of Public Square. I am beginning to think people who just choose to ignore tickets is an issue. As for the spots in question, many were vacant today, but that could be due to the post holiday week. More on all that at Monday's meeting.
-Longtime City Council attendee Wayne Zimmer sent City Council a tin of fudge from his new home in Tennessee.
-Got a letter from Senator-elect Ritchie today thanking me for my congratulatory note sent after the election. We look forward to working with her.
