<br />with the City of CentervlDe. While I
<br />had. a very chaiktngmg and rewarding

<br />expand my knowledge of municipal
<br />administration far beyond what I ex-
<br />pected.
<br />I now find myself truly challenged and
<br />hope tI1at I can ,meet the challenge and
<br />provide the CIty"of Centervllle with a
<br />high level of professionalism, a dedica-
<br />tion to the principle of open govern-
<br />ment through clear and timely comm~
<br />nIcatIons and a commitment to provid-
<br />Ing the -a&st Service Possible- to the

<br />fire station discussed
<br />
<br />WIth the new. parking lot
<br />and sidewalks around the
<br />new City Hall and FIre, Sta-
<br />tion, It Is a tempting loca-
<br />tion for children to ride
<br />bike., roller blade or, just
<br />play. However, when a tire or
<br />rescue call comes In, the fire
<br />~. and resoue personnel must arrive
<br />quickly and leave with heavy vehicles,
<br />sometimes In the dark.'
<br />
<br />In order to prevent a very unfortunate
<br />accident, the City Is asking that par-
<br />ents keep children ,off the parking lot
<br />and driveway are.., especially after
<br />dark. There Is no good time for chil-
<br />dren to play In this area 81nce an
<br />emergency call can come In any time,
<br />day or. night. '
<br />P___ care for your .children's safety
<br />and help our fire and ~ personnsl.
