That she serves on the Energy and Commerce committee she is interested in our municipal power challenges and all of today\u2019s energy needs. With her expertise from serving as North Dakota Public Service Commissioner, hearing her overview of issues was invaluable. One noted need is to generate enough energy to supply large load industries as there is no excess energy on the market at this point. Missouri River Energy Services (MRES) representatives from Sioux Falls, Hillsboro, and a good contingent of Valley City Department Heads attended.\u00a0All were invited to share concerns and ask questions. Thank you to all who facilitated the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently someone appears to have gutted a deer on a large piece of cardboard, left the guts along with a chunk of meat on the cardboard and placed it in one of the bins at the Recycling Center.\u00a0Really folks, that is wrong!\u00a0The good news is, a name is on the cardboard. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations to all the folks in our Valley City Finance Department as the department received a positive independent\u00a0 audit from the Grand Forks office of Brady Martz &amp; Associates. Thank you to all for your work, \u201cdoing the next right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2025 Salvation Army Kettle Campaign is right around the corner. Bell ringing will begin Monday, November 24th and continue through Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your convenience, the Valley City Transfer Station is now accepting payments with credit cards.\u00a0The garbage pickup times may vary some days, but pickup begins at 7:00 a.m.\u00a0 If your containers aren\u2019t out by 7:00 a.m. you are at risk of being missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your safety, the turn signals on your vehicle are to warn people you will turn.\u00a0Give them a chance to miss you, turn your signal \u201con\u201d before you touch your brake. Be safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to all who provide and proof material for this column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cKindness and politeness are not overrated at all.
