Three-year-old Mila Sprowl shouts “Ya! Ya!” while playing on the black stallion spring rider in Penny Park on Saturday as her dad, Mike Sprowl, looks on.
After being closed since last March due to the coronavirus pandemic, as of today, Silver City’s beloved playground, Penny Park, is finally open to the public again, according to Town Manager Alex Brown.
“We waited until the schools got the green light for [limited] in-person learning,” Brown said, adding that when town officials made the decision last May to reopen municipal parks and outdoor recreation sites like Fox Field and Scott Park Golf Links in accordance with Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s easing of coronavirus restrictions, they opted to keep playgrounds off-limits.
Santa Clara reorganizes code, boosts utility rates Written by Makayla Grijalva on January 20, 2021
During their regular meeting Thursday, Santa Clara’s village trustees approved amendments to municipal code chapters on public utilities that the village has been refining for the past few months. While the revisions do include a utility rate increase, touted as accounting for the increase in cost of living, last week’s move mainly took already existing ordinances and compiled them into a single resource.
※A great deal of work went into this a lot of research, a lot of background. I want to commend out legal counsel for doing such a tremendous job,” said Santa Clara Mayor Richard Bauch. ※It’s taken a great deal of time to put it all together, but I think we have a document that’s optimal for the village.”
