Montgomery Quarter water main project expected this summer

0
0

The “Gateway Watermain Replacement Project” has been approved and awarded to Ford Development Corporation.  The project consists of upsizing water main located in Montgomery Road between Cooper Road and Hartfield Place to increase the water flow and pressure necessary to support the Montgomery Quarter development project.

As with most infrastructure projects that provide long-term benefit, short-term headaches and inconveniences will be realized.  To help reduce the headaches, some of the work will be completed during nighttime hours.

Please be patient as we complete this very important utility improvement project.  Construction is expected to take place this summer and to be completed in September, weather dependent.

 

Regular construction updates are provided on the City’s website as work progresses.  For additional information on this or other projects, please contact Gary Heitkamp, public works director, at gheitkamp@montgomeryohio.org or 513-792-8321.

yard waste pickupSpring brush collection has concluded for the year.  The fall brush collection program will start again on September 9 and the schedule will be published in the September Montgomery Bulletin.  The fall brush collection schedule is also noted in the annual City Calendar.

For the remainder of the summer and fall, the following guidelines should be used for limited yard waste pickup.

  • Yard waste is collected on a weekly basis at no charge from March through October for all one- and two-family residential homes.
  • Yard waste is limited to three bags, cans, or bundles or one 90-gallon yard waste toter.
  • During limited yard waste pickup, additional bags, cans, or bundles require a $2.00 Rumpke Waste Sticker per item.
  • Rumpke waste stickers are available for purchase at Montgomery City Hall or the Montgomery Kroger.
  • Unlimited yard waste collection starts on Nov. 4.
  • Yard waste should be placed in either 30-gallon trash cans, paper leaf bags or yard waste toters, which are available through Rumpke.
  • Yard waste toters or cans must be labeled as yard waste, and those not labeled will not be picked up. There is a 75-pound weight limit on the 30-gallon cans or toters as they cannot be emptied if over 75 pounds. Brush can extend no taller than 12 inches above the top of the can.
  • Place the yard waste on the opposite side of the driveway from the regular trash and leave the lids off the cans. No plastic bags will be accepted.
  • Brush should be bundled in sizes no more than four feet in length and two feet in diameter and fastened with cotton twine. Limbs also need to be cut into 4-foot lengths and can be no larger than 6 inches in diameter.

Waste and Recycling Toters

Residents are reminded that trash, yard waste and recycling containers should not be placed at the curb earlier than 5:00 p.m. the day before pickup is scheduled and containers should be removed from the curb by 9:00 p.m. the day of pickup.  Homeowners may contact the City of Montgomery at 513-891-2424 for information regarding trash, yard waste, or recycling collection.

Large-item pickup

Residents who have items too large to fit in their waste toters (such as furniture or carpeting) can call Rumpke for a large-item pickup.  Large items are picked up on Thursdays for the entire city, regardless of your normal trash day.  Residents must call Rumpke by noon on Wednesday of that week for a large item pickup on Thursday.  The Rumpke phone number is 513-742-2900 or go to rumpke.com to place an online request.

Cardboard recycling

A cardboard recycling program is held on the third Saturday of each month from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Montgomery Public Works Building, 7315 Cornell Road. Residents may drop off unlimited amounts of cardboard for recycling and there is no need to cut and bundle the cardboard. Cardboard may also be placed curbside in 3 feet by 3 feet bundles to be collected as part of the weekly recycling service.

Proper display and retirement of U.S. flag is patriotic duty

U.S. Flag

On Memorial Day, May 27, many take a moment to hang their U.S. flag and reflect on the commitment to service and country.  Did you find that your flag may not be in the best of shape?  In observance of Memorial Day, and Flag Day on June 14, here is some information on the proper way to display and retire a flag if it no longer is in a condition for proper display.

According to Title 4 of the United States Code, these are some reminders on how best to display one’s patriotism and flag.

  • The custom is to display the flag from sunrise to sunset. If displaying the flag for 24 hours, it must be properly illuminated during the hours of darkness.
  • The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously.
  • The flag should not be displayed during inclement weather unless it is an all-weather flag.
  • The flag should be displayed daily.
  • The flag should not be displayed on a float in a parade except on a staff.
  • The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, or water.
  • It is prohibited to use the flag as a costume or athletic uniform. Military and safety services professionals may affix a patch of the flag to their uniform.
  • When the flag is no longer in a condition for proper display, the flag should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

If one has a U.S. flag that is no longer in a condition to display such as worn, tattered or frayed, consider some options for proper retirement.

As the U.S. Code states, “The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning”.

The American Legion, Halker-Flege Post #69, located at 9000 Reading Road, conducts periodical flag retirement ceremonies. Drop flags off at their location on Fridays to have the flag properly retired. Contact Facility Manager Jack Burg at 513-733-1916 for further information.

Every spring, Boy Scout Troop 258, sponsored by the Montgomery Presbyterian Church, has a flag retirement ceremony to dispose of flags no longer suitable for display. Contact Scoutmaster Ray Habib at 513-377-8613 to arrange for pick up or drop off of a flag for retirement.

The Boy Scout Troop 674 at Church of the Saviour will collect flags at any time. They plan flag retirement ceremonies at their monthly campouts. Contact Scoutmaster Rob Smith at 513-376-4775 to make arrangements.

City of Montgomery recognized for Tree City USA achievement

From left, Public Works Supervisor Mike Rogers flanks Greg Guess, deputy chief of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, as he presents the Tree City USA award to City Council Member Lynda Roesch. Public Works professional Scott Schulte (in back) looks on.

The City of Montgomery was recognized as a Tree City USA on April 26 during the Southwest Ohio Tree City USA awards ceremony hosted by the City of Centerville. This is the twenty-third time the City of Montgomery has been honored with this nationally recognized award and the twentieth time the City will receive the Growth Award.

The title of “Tree City USA” is bestowed upon the Montgomery community for its ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the quality of life through a comprehensive street tree management program.  The program is guided by the Beautification and Tree Commission, Montgomery City Council, and staff. A community must meet four standards in order to achieve the title and the honors:

  • A tree ordinance;
  • An active tree commission or forestry department;
  • A comprehensive urban forestry program supported by a minimum of two dollars per capita; and
  • An annual Arbor Day proclamation and public observance.

The State of Ohio currently boasts the highest number of Tree Cities in the country with a total of 249 communities. Southwest Ohio boasts 49 communities that are Tree Cities. For additional information about the Tree City USA program or the Arbor Day Foundation, visit arborday.org

For more information about Montgomery’s tree programs, contact City Arborist Terry Willenbrink at 513-792-8320 or twillenbrink@montgomeryohio.org. Visit this page on the City website for more information.

Topic: Turning Adversity into Opportunity
Date: Thursday, August 8, at 7:00 p.m
Location: Terwilliger Lodge

The City of Montgomery Diversity and Inclusion Committee launched a community education series on the diverse cultures of Montgomery residents.  The lecture and discussion series will cover a range of timely human relations and cultural topics.  It is free and open to the public.  The second speaker in the “Know Your Neighbor” series will be Shane DiGiovanna, talking about turning adversity into opportunity.  

Shane was born with an extremely rare genetic skin condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa, which causes fragile skin that results in large open wounds that require hours of painful bandaging each day. Shane is also deaf and has cochlear implants. His passion for exploring and contributing to the world has allowed him to endure these debilitating conditions, which have required dozens of surgeries. Despite all odds, Shane is now in college at Rice University striving to help people and design the world of tomorrow. 

The “Know Your Neighbor” series, sponsored by the City of Montgomery’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee, is a part of the City’s #IamMontgomery campaign.  Now in its second year, the Diversity and Inclusion Committee promotes community awareness, education, and appreciation of Montgomery’s diverse cultures, positive intercultural relations among Montgomery residents, and a welcoming environment for all those who live, work, visit and recreate in Montgomery. The committee is inclusively composed of more than two dozen Montgomery residents.

Reminder to remove containers from right-of-way

Rumpke trash totersResidents are reminded that trash and recycling containers should not be placed at the curb earlier than 5:00 p.m. the day before pickup is scheduled, and containers should be removed from the curb by 9:00 p.m. the day of pickup.

Why does this matter? When trash cans are left out:

  • Views from driveways can get blocked, resulting in a safety issue;
  • More debris gets into gutters and storm drains.

Finally, placing trash containers back where they are stored during the week keeps neighborhoods clean and safe.

Homeowners may contact the City of Montgomery at 513-891-2424 for information regarding trash collection. More information is also found here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

City of Montgomery honored as Top Workplace

0
0

The City of Montgomery is honored to be recognized by the Cincinnati Enquirer as a 2019 Top Workplace in the small business category.  The Top Workplace lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by a third party research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. This year, 2019, is the first time the City has received this designation.

This award tells our community that our employees feel professionally fulfilled and are personally committed to our mission of providing superior services and engaging with citizens to enhance the community.  The dedication and commitment of all City employees is evident in the care and stewardship that they provide to the community. City Council recognizes the efforts of City staff by providing them the resources to create such a positive work environment and provide a high level of service.

“I could not be more proud of all the City staff members. Their commitment to the Montgomery community and each other is commendable,” said Mayor Chris Dobrozsi.

Through thoughtful and supportive leadership and teamwork by all employees, the City has been able to create a high-performance work culture built on a foundation of creative problem solving, open communication, integrity, respect, initiative, and leadership at all levels of the organization. It is this unique work culture that allows City staff to provide such a high level of service to the community and commitment to each other.

“When I was appointed as city manager in 2018, I knew our staff was exceptional.  To see our team approach and support for each other rise to new levels has been rewarding to witness, and the Top Workplace award is confirmation of the success of our workplace culture,” said City Manager Brian Riblet. “It was important for us to get good feedback from our employees to continue to move the organization forward and to provide the very best in public service to our community.  With the support of our City Council and the dedication of our staff, I feel there isn’t anything we can’t accomplish.”
