Thanks to everyone who came out for the Holiday Celebration and Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony. The Girl Scouts sang and the New Milford High School Band provided us with wonderful music. Our honorary tree lighters were the Sofia family, Donna Colucci and Danielle Petrolia. For a change, it was not the coldest night of the year.
Leaves….every year they fall to the ground, get raked to the street, and picked up and disposed of by our hard-working DPW crews. This year, some feel that it is taking longer than usual. However, that is not the case. Because of our rainy summer, the leaves were green longer, and fell later. Hence, they will be picked up later. In addition to that we had to deal with Snow-tober. If you want to see the amount of work the DPW has done you should take a ride to the Swim Club Parking lot. There was enough brush to fill the entire lot and the pile was over 15 feet high. That has to be chipped and removed, yet. We have hired 4 temporary workers from the work force center to help the DPW and they have incurred emergency overtime for the staff. Please be patient. As they always do, DPW will be there to get your leaves.
May I take this opportunity to wish you and your family a healthy and happy Christmas/Hannukah/Holiday season.
Sincerely,
Ann
Mayor Ann Subrizi
