Plants and Gardens.Tuesday, April 28, 2020 - Posted by Craig, in General News., Events and announcements
Just wanted to let everyone know that if you need plants (even
if your budget says no), we have some available at what we
believe are very fair prices, donations are accepted.
Zucchini, Cantaloupe, Okra, Tomato, Cucumber, Beets, Broccoli, Cauliflower etc... Prices start at $1 for 2" x 2" planters, $4.00 for one gallon pots, larger pots are a bit more. Ready to go tote gardens start at $20.00
We are adding to
the selection every morning. It is a pretty humble operation, but
we pray it might be a blessing to others as much as it is a
pleasure to offer them. We expect to be adding veggies next
month.

City Wide Clean UpMonday, April 10, 2017 - Posted by Coleman Connected, in General News., Events and announcements, City news
City wide Cleanup Planned for City of Coleman
A clean up campaign has been planned for Coleman beginning May 6-13. This project is
a result of planning by the community pride committee of Vision Coleman. A grant in the amount of $9,975 from 4-B is seeding funding for the effort. Additional grants are being pursued at this time. Costs for disposal are expected to reach some $25,000. The Coleman City Council voted 4-0 to back the effort by waiving fees at the convenience center for the duration of the week of the event. Liz Campbell, City Utilities Director has arranged for placement of 3 additional dumpsters at the Convenience center and 4 others at a central location in the city. Dennis Stroebel owner of The Shopping Basket has volunteered use of vacant property located on East Walnut for placement of the 4 Dumpsters. Jody Payne, Street Supervisor for the city is directing efforts on street sweeping, brush chipping and convenience center operations for the event. David Martinez, Fire Chief of the City is at work Identifying debris and structures that could threaten public safety, and Connie Echols as Code Enforcement officer is notifying property owners who are in violation of City Code. City Manager Paul Catoe will serve as overseer of all city government efforts as well as compliance with existing statues. Mary Griffth, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, has volunteered to serve as a call center for elderly or disabled persons who need assistance in cleaning their property, or who have brush that needs to be chipped. The telephone number for The Chamber is 625-2163. Volunteers are being sought to assist those in need and can call this number to have their name placed on the list of helpers in the project. Church Groups and Civic Clubs are encouraged to be involved. It should be noted that the dumpsters and use of city facilities and services are by law limited to use by residents of the City of Coleman. It should be noted that tires, batteries, paint, oil, chemicals, rocks, and appliances are not allowed in the dumpsters. Negotiations are underway with recycling companies to dispose of these items and announcements of central disposal locations for them in the next week. Residents of the city are encouraged to remove unsightly items from their properties during the cleanup as well as mowing tall grass and weeds from their area. It is the goal of this effort to improve the appearance of the city. |

Max needs a new home.Friday, May 8, 2015, in General News., Events and announcementsHi, I'm Max. Ain't I handsome?!
Well, I've got the goods to go with my looks. I've been to school and
try real hard to be a good boy. I've been a house dog, but I'll stay in
the yard if I have to as long as you've got a nice shelter and dog house
for me. I'm not sure what breed mix I am. Dad may have had some
Chow-Chow in him since I've got some black spots on my tongue. Mom?
Probably some Setter or Retriever. Doesn't really matter. I'm just Max,
and I'm waiting for you to reply to this post or call Sue at the Humane
Society 325-636-8945 so you can come take me home. I'm neutered,
house-trained, current on my vaccinations, about 5 years old, and ready
to roll.

Electrical petitions will be on the city council agenda this ThursdayTuesday, May 5, 2015 - Posted by Craig Allen, in Events and announcements, City news
The actions that are possible are: Table the discussions for a future date.
Vote on and adopt (pass) the two petitions (ordinances) as they are without
change.
Vote to put the two ordinances on a ballot within 90 days to
allow the citizens to vote on these items.
Add their own version of the ordinance(s) and place theirs
along with the citizens’ version on the ballot.
Ignore or deny the petition(s) and simply refuse to put the
ordinances on the ballot by trying to say the people do not have a right to petition on this subject as it is too complex of an issue for people to understand and they do not have enough facts.
This last choice is strictly against Coleman’s charter, but
it very likely that this is what they will do even though the people have
shouted clearly and are demanding that they be allowed to vote.
This is a critical time for Coleman. You have spoken up by signing the petitions;
it is now important that you contact your council member and let them know you
want these petitions to go to the vote of the people.
That is what democracy is all about. You have asked our city
leaders to allow you to vote on these very important maters, and this is what
you expect them to do. Uphold the
charter, and bring these items to the vote of the people.
Here the email addresses of the city council members and city manager. Mayor Kay Joffrion -- kjoffrion@verizon.net Councilman Johhny Needham -- councilmanneedham@yahoo.com Councilman Danny Jameson Danny.jameson@Colemanisd.net Mayor Pro-Tem Gary Payne glpayne1@verizon.net City Manager Paul Catoe -- paul@web-access.net Link to the two petitions that have been signed by more than 500 people (each) http://colemanconnected.com/forum/uploads/6/ElectricalPetitions.pdf Please visit the forum to comment on this post (the comment section below is very limited.) http://www.colemanconnected.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=526&PID=864͠ |
