Hurley cleanup day scheduled

HURLEY, Wis. — The Hurley Chamber of Commerce presented updates on city events to the Hurley City Council at Tuesday night’s meeting.

Rita Franzoi, marketing director and events coordinator for the chamber, said she would like local residents to help on Monday, during scheduled clean up day.

“We’ve got our big Memorial Day rallies coming up and we want everything to look nice,” she said.

Beginning at 4 p.m., the event takes place downtown at the motorized trail behind Silver Street.

“When people come they see a nice presentation rather than everything that gets blown around in the winter,” Franzoi said.

The chamber submitted a letter to the council of Hurley’s Ordinance number 6-2-1, which states, “No owner of occupant shall allow the sidewalk abutting on his/her property to be littered with rubbish or dirt. If such owner or occupant shall refuse or fail to remove any such rubbish or dirt when notified to do so by the Common Council, or its designee, the city may cause the same to be done and report the cost therefore to the city clerk-treasurer who shall spread the cost on the tax roll as a special tax against the premises, pursuant to Sec. 66.0627, Wis Stats., or such cost may be recovered in an action against the owner or occupant.”

Franzoi said both the Ironwood — Hurley Rotary Club and the chamber will be assisting with the clean up. She said pasty’s will be provided to volunteers helping with the clean up.

In other business the council:

—Approved a conditinal use permit to Gerry Nasi for a storage building to be located at 104 4th Street S.

—Thanked retiring Don Packmayer for his year of service to the police department.
