Thanks. Due to the apparent widespread nature of this problem in certain
parts of Ward One, I am passing along your explanatory message. Bests CM

I typically answer emails before 9 AM on weekdays. If you email me after
that, it is likely that you will hear from me the next weekday. If there
is a need to communicate prior to that, you may wish to call me.

Ms Dalichow
CM Graham

I apologize that DPW has not picked up your trash.  Hopefully, we did
get to it sometime on Saturday.  Over the past two weeks, DPW has had
some challenges with staffing.  We are working with the staff and the
union to address these issues.  I am hopeful that by the end of this
week we will have the issues resolved.

Again, I apologize

Thanks

Bill

I've been waiting a week for recycling to pick up the
stuff we put out.

Is public works on vacation or what?
