Abracadabra – it’s fixed……
Craig Gernhardt mentioned the highlights of the CAPS meeting Monday night, one was when Tom Westgard marched in and unceremoniously plunked a hunk of iron on the table. O’Neill’s expression was priceless – too bad no one had a camera out.
Anyway…..
Tom came in, woke us all up from the drone fest, and announced the BROKEN MANHOLE COVER…the head table told him to call 311….911 Tom?
After the meeting, this picture was taken of the coverless manhole. That was Monday night.
So, the call couldn’t have gone to the city until Tuesday, I’ll confess I didn’t look Wednesday, but today…..
IT WAS FIXED!!! It got fixed so fast is that because:
Its normal?
Tom has pull in city hall?
CAPS has pull in City Hall?
We have excellent city employees?
It’s an alert and conscientious DevCorp employee?
It’s an election year?
You decide…..but to whomever was responsible congrats on fixing this hazard for any child in our community.
