Hi and hello! Cassie here with your newsletter. It's been quite a busy week, but it's important to appreciate the simple moments. Check out this double rainbow I saw the other day while driving around town!
COVID and other illnesses grow among MMH staff amidst staff shortage: There have been several resignations due to the vaccine requirements, which is leaving the hospital in a tight position as demand for services grows. "We are slowly starting to see it (COVID among employees) pick up and just other illness on top of it," CEO Jeff Mengenhausen said Tuesday, Oct. 5.
"Right now, we have about 40 caregivers who are out sick. Eleven of them would be COVID; five more are just having reactions to the COVID vaccine. We've had a little more sickness, but it's not all COVID."

City Council met this week: City Council members and staff met fo a work session and regular meeting on Monday and Tuesday this week. I covered Tuesday's meeting last night through live updates on our NABUR platform and have compiled a more comprehensive roundup today! City Councilors considered a number of items during the short session, including: - Setting a Nov. 16 hearing date to approve the annexation of the Grace Community Church Addition II
- Amending the municipal code to reflect state laws around what defines a family residential childcare facility. This would provide more access to childcare.
- An ordinance to rezone Lot 1 and Outlot A of the Yocum Subdivision
- The award of $75,900 for the Hawk Parkway sidewalk extension construction contract
Keep an eye out for a financial report on city spending and proposed spending this week!
