MARYSVILLE – Mayor Jon Nehring read a proclamation at Monday night's town council meeting.
Josh Estes, whose daughter Reese had cancer, spoke, claiming she had been cancer free for a year.
With his wife Kelly, he thanked the city for being a leader in childhood cancer awareness.
But there is still much to be done, adding that only 4% of the amount spent on cancer research is dedicated to studying childhood cancer.
Also during the meeting, during the public comment period, the city was asked to stop using Roundup on weeds. Leah Houser said she saw workers in the city without any protection by spraying Roundup, which can cause cancer. She said it was not good for the environment, for example for animals or streams. Lawsuits have been filed against her use, which the city can not afford, she said. She added that many cities have ended their use and are now using non-toxic alternatives.
There was also a question about where trucks can park in the city without being ticketed. Nehring said Public Works would work on both of these issues.
Finally, Parks Director Jim Ballew said the Farmer's Market, which was set to run until the end of the month, had its last event this year.
In addition, he said the recent junk is probably the last of the city in September due to the low turnout.
