I spoke with IT and we are able to have a dedicated email, however, I will need to get a better understanding of how you want to use it. If it is manned by a current city employee it would be relatively easy. CDBG and what are their needs. CDBG would like to better connect with older adults to help with minor home improvements/repairs such as painting, furnace repairs, window and door replacements, weatherization improvements, etc. On a side note- Code Enforcement is working on the creation of a Snow Angels program that will assist those who are physically unable to shovel after a snow fall. We hope that this will also turn into a full year-round service that is funding through resident volunteers, CDBG, or the Code Enforcement's abatement budget. 5. Upcoming Events /Announcements 8.
