Budgets for GAS ONLY will be starting in June. The Budget Plan will be from June to next April. The Budget Plan is paying equal monthly payments.

If you are interested in getting on the Budget Plan, call City Hall right away, as I will be figuring the amounts for each household soon.

NEW CONSTRUCTION: Any resident doing any new construction, removal or repair work (that includes putting up a fence or car port) must get a building permit.

Special note received by the City dated 4-14-16: I am so grateful for the kindness & professionalism of our RL rescue squad. What a great group of guys. You responded quickly, which eased my anxiety. I know I would have been panicky if I had needed to wait for the ambulance. You worked in a tight, cramped, almost impossible spot, yet never caused me increased pain. Your service is invaluable to our community. Thank you for your kind & professional care and thank you for your service to our community. Signed, Faye Bush.
