I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July, celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday and truly realizing how great it is to live here and enjoy the freedoms that are often taken for granted. Our Independence Day parade was a huge success with many of our citizens in attendance. It was one of the best parades we’ve ever had in my opinion.
I also hope everyone is enjoying your summer and staying as cool as possible. We’ve had to get a couple of things repaired at the Splash Pad recently, but it is getting busier than ever, which was the goal when we built it.
As many of you have probably heard, Police Chief Gene Dodson is retiring from his position at the end of July. He was honored and recognized for his many years of dedicated service at our last council meeting. Also, congratulations to Brian Snead, who will take over as our new Police Chief on August 1st.
