City Public Works to address underpass trash and rats
The Enterprise notes and quotes City Public Works Director Joe Mitchell saying the underpass is cleaned on an as needed basis and extra effort will be made during heavy rains when flooding brings in more debris. Officials were unaware of the rat issue but will address it alongside cleanup efforts. Community members ask for action and guidance on tree frost protection. County Agent John Carroll warns sustained freezing below 15 F harms fig trees and recommends wind breaks straw covers and non airtight protection. temperatures below 5 F likely kill back the tree even with protection.
