Mayor's Corner
A Word from Mayor Chuck
Here’s what’s happening in Crescent!
The new playground equipment is in place at the park. Additional concrete walkways should be completed in this same area soon.
It’s been a hot summer and we have many yards that are not being taken care of. Please keep your yards mowed to help keep our neighborhoods looking nice.
Again, we ask that you do not blow your clippings into the streets.
We have seen a few homeless people in town this summer. The sheriffs have been called many times. We haven’t seen any damage associated with them but do know that it has affected some of our businesses in town. We should all be watching out for ourselves and our neighbors. Please feel free to call the Pottawattamie County Sheriffs non-emergency number (712)328-5737 if you have any concerns.
I, myself had a conversation with one man a few weeks ago and told him that he should work his way back to Council Bluffs where there is food and shelters. He told me that wasn’t his plan. I informed him that his plan could not include staying in Crescent, since we do not allow sleeping on the streets, in the parks, or in residents yards.
Other than a few homeless people, it’s been a good summer and our town has been busy.
Kids are back to school, so keep that in mind when you are driving about. We want to keep them safe.
