City crews used a double-team of dump trucks to push huge piles of snow down Platte City’s Main Street Monday morning. City crews worked 157 hours of overtime throughout the holiday weekend removing snow, city officials said.
Earlier this month, Riverside City Clerk Louise Rusick called roll before the city’s board of aldermen for the last time. Rusick has worked for the City of Riverside for more than 16 years. Thursday will not only be the last day of 2009 but it will also be Rusick’s last day with the city. “I’m just getting tired of working and it’s time to go while the body is still in one piece,” Rusick told The Landmark last week. She began with the city in August of 1993 as a sewer billing clerk before working her way up to city clerk.
Cub Scouts of Pack 248’s Den 10 toured City Hall in Platte City Wednesday afternoon and practiced their skills of holding a mock session of local government with Platte City Mayor Frank Offutt. The Cub Scouts addressed the upcoming changes in refuse service that begin Jan. 4 and the closing of the Main Street overpass (Exit 19 at I-29) later this spring. Each scout received a model recycling container that Platte City earned for its “Excellence in Reycling Effort” awarded earlier this month by the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC).
