7. Mayor’s Report
The water bills were mailed later than the date on the billing, and therefore will be due February 6 th rather than
February 2 nd . The reason for the delay is that apparently, a bulk mailing can only be dropped off at the Post Office Monday – Friday 10:00 – 2:00 for mailing. Therefore, when the City went to the Post Office we were turned away for mailing the water bills in time.
