Your Village in 3 minutes, 31 July

Friends,

1.  Salado Plaza is about to be re-surfaced.  Mill Road will also receive a re-surfacing in the near future.  This is part of FY15 Road Plan.  While this is being done, cracks in other roads are being sealed with hot tar.  Crack sealing is necessary to keep the roads in good repair while waiting to be resurfaced.  Thanks to Mike McDougal's committee, the 5-year plan is underway.  More roads will be re-surfaced in FY16.

2.  Thomas Arnold Project is underway with curbs.  Soon it will be surfaced, too.  The re-surfaceing will go from Main Street on the East side to West Village Road on the West Side.

3.  James Construction is reviewing the contract to add pay for our Policemen to work overtime during the day while I-35 traffic is being re-routed.  There may be a need to pay for other off duty Policemen from local communities to help with the traffic when school starts.  If the contract allows it, James Construction will pay the same rate as they do at night.  There will be no charge to the Village.

4.  Instead of shops closing, buildings are selling for new shops. The yellow house and cottage (formerly known as Essengees) on the road going into Pace Park has sold.  The building on 110 Main Street has sold also.  Charlottes of Salado has sold also.  There are rumors that other buildings have sold also but this has not been confirmed.  Old Town Salado has no empty stores as they are full.

5.  The next Evening with the Mayor will be for service organizations and religious institutions.
Held in the Municipal Building, 11 August, 6 P.M.  An Evening With the Mayor has no agenda.  Its format is questions and answers with suggestions and recommendations.

6.  BLUE MOON SHOPPING IS TONIGHT, 31 JULY.  GREAT TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT THAT GIFT FOR A SPECIAL SOMEONE OR BIRTHDAY OR CHRISTMAS.  SUPPORT OUR STORES, PLEASE.  IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US. 

6.  Snow Cones with the Mayor for children (age, that depends on you) will be 22 August from 10 A.M. until Noon.  Made especially by the Mayor's Family, they are free.
