NEWSLETTER * APRIL 2008 * CITY OF BADGER
City Wide Garage Sale and Clean-up Day is Saturday May 3, 2008. Anyone wishing to have their garage sale address listed on the city map needs to stop at the City Clerk’s Office and sign up. A $3.00 registration fee covers the cost of advertisement. Lots of people attend these garage sales, so make plans now to clean out your closets, attics and garages. Your trash is someone’s treasure. Sign up deadline is April 28th. Clean-up Day is also May 3rd. A dumpster will be located by the recycling area from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Some restrictions apply.

Spring is here. Now is the time to clean up the yard and get rid of the junk vehicles and other nuisances. They need to go before a formal letter is sent. Badger is a great town to live in and we should all be proud to call it home.

Do you know your address? Please display your house and building numbers! They are very important tools for emergency vehicles to locate you. It may even save your life. State and City code requires numbering of all buildings in a conspicuous place to the street in figures not less than two and one-half inches (2½) in height and of a contrasting color with their background. Failure to comply within thirty (30) days, the city may proceed to place the assigned number on the principal building and assess the costs to you or the property owner for collection in the same manner as a property tax. This is your written notice to place or cause to be installed your house address numbers.
