Craig Eckles City/P&Z Administrator- Stated Kimberly Clean Up Day is scheduled this
upcoming Saturday May 16, 2026 from 9-4 here at City Hall. Residents are reminded to bring
proof of residency and that they will be responsible for loading and unloading their own items
into the roll offs. Residents are allowed 2 dumps. There is always a great turn out. There are
bids out for about 200,000 tons of reclaimed asphalt that the city is hoping to get. This will help
rehab some of the alleys, like behind the Senior Center is a good example. Lots of areas in town
will benefit from this. The new park will not be using this. There is gravel down to ensure
proper drainage. Canyon Glen and Big Sky are moving along nicely. Patiently waiting on
Holland Hills.
Brain Reed City Engineer/Public Works Director- Stated his crew is busy with street
maintenance to prepare for pot hole repairs and putting up signage for Olsen Farms. They have
paved. Big Sky started Phase III, and looks like they may be completing it all at once. Canyon
Glen is moving along nicely, but have ran into quite a bit of rock when laying sewer lines.
Carrie Kimball City Clerk- Stated nothing further tonight.
