Proposed New Trash Rules – Jan 17 City Hearing

Susan Stern — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:29:49 +0000

By Susan L. Stern

(Omaha, NE) – The City is talking trash, per say. Councilman Chris Jerram is proposing an amendment to city ordinances that mandate how long garbage cans can be kept in front of properties, and require bins be placed at least 20 feet away from a sidewalk.

If Jerram’s proposal becomes law, rulebreakers who are caught would face a first-offense $100 fine, and $500 for each offense after that. The amendment will be the subject of a Jan 17th public hearing.

Susan Stern — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 16:09:49 +0000

(ECC) – There is no scheduled 2011 4th of July parade this holiday in the Elk Creek Crossing Omaha neighborhood. Why? No one has come forward to help plan the popular family event. The volunteer who planned last year’s event is – unavailable due to family commitments.

The ECC Homeowner’s Association is still looking for a social chairperson.

Additionally, the Annual end-of-summer ECC Picnic is still up in the air depending solely on planners coming forward to spearhead this volunteer project. If you are interested in the social chair position, please send a note herein to this website, and HOA President Eric Oxley will contact you to discuss. The Volunteer who comes forward can count on help – co-planners Lisa Graper-Fuller and Susan Stern will support the Social Chair efforts, depending on their schedule availability.
