Nancy Dorsner sent a message about the Halloween Parade. New residents are especially encouraged to participate! It’s a fun event for everybody, adults included, to dress up in creative ways and then enjoy a party in Lake Claire Park. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Nancy at comm@lakeclaire.org
Joe mentioned the problem at 2058 Howard Circle. The resident at that property is in violation of the City’s zoning code because a large amount of junk accumulated in the back yard. However, the code enforcement department has not been able to serve a citation because the resident has been able to avoid being served. Nic said he would check into the situation to see what more can be done.
