MUNICIPAL ELECTION
LAST CALL FOR COMMISSIONERS AND CHARTER REVISION CANDIDATES. SEPTEMBER 15 IS THE FINAL DAY TO SUBMIT PETITIONS FOR OFFICE! 　 HOLIDAY
Be sure to participate in all the events of the holiday weekend. There is the festival, music, ball games, antique gatherings…and really good food!! The Public Safety Department personnel will be doing demonstrations for family day Saturday at the park, (seatbelt use, Officer Jesse the horse, fire safety equipment, etc.) BALDWIN STREET BRIDGE
Engineering work needs to continue to keep this important project in the MDOT queue. A grant will be sought from the Fremont Foundation to assist with the engineering analysis of the bridge project aimed at taking the Riverwalk under the new bridge. The TS&L (type, size and location report) is anticipated to be completed by February 2010 for $28,750. We are looking for $20,000 from Fremont. After acceptance by MDOT of the TS&L report the more significant and expensive engineering work can begin probably in 2011, 2012. TUBA BACH
