Appreciation again for our Councilperson Parker Agelasto and his wonderful assistant Ida Jones. Thanks to them, a new trashcan has been installed at Idlewood Avenue at Belvidere. This was one that Oregon Hill neighbors had been requesting for sometime (See ‘#9’). When the City’s Department of Public Works told them there was no money in the budget to install new trashcans, Parker and Jones transferred money from the 5th District Discretionary funds to pay for them. These funds typically support communication and community outreach efforts such as National Night Out. In this instance they decided it was important to pay for a City operation.
