QUINCY Selecting board members will be the next step in the formation of the Quincy Valley Regional Parks District. Quincy City Council members approved an interlocal agreement for the city’s participation in the district’s governing board April 2.
The agreement must be approved by all three governing entities that make up the district, which includes the cities of Quincy and George and Grant County. The proposed district was approved by voters in November 2023.
QUINCY The new Quincy Valley Regional Parks District could start holding its first meetings in April.
Quincy City Administrator Pat Haley said the formation of the new district’s board is underway.
QUINCY The current and future status of a section of B Street Northeast, and possible work on A Street Northeast, brought residents and business owners to a public hearing during the Quincy City Council meeting Tuesday.
QUINCY The proposal is still under review, and when it’s done Quincy officials will submit a proposal for design and construction standards to the Quincy City Council. A separate series of city standards would be a first for Quincy.
QUINCY The Quincy Animal Shelter hours may change temporarily as city officials work to add new staff.
Municipal Services Director Carl Worley told Quincy City Council members Tuesday that it’s difficult for the existing staff to manage both the animals and the current hours.
“The animal shelter is currently shorthanded until temporary employees are hired,” he said. “I think we’re down to pretty much two people at this point. So it’s sometimes difficult for them to meet the public at the door. Sometimes they’re in the back and don’t hear it.”
