| City Manager Cody Thompson speaks to the City Council yesterday evening. |
Jason Grizzle from E.ON requested repair of the sewer line behind E.ON and Crop Production Services on East Broadway. City Manager Cody Thompson said that City workers had been there earlier in the day and replaced about 120 feet of six-inch sewer line. He said he believes the line is fixed now but for E.ON to let him know if anything else needs to be done.
Thompson also said that City workers replaced about 100 feet of sewer line on Fourth Street and scheduled other sanitary sewer repair on Sycamore Street and at RCISD between Sixth and Seventh Streets. The sanitary sewer grant project was held up because of the government shutdown, but it should be back up soon, assuming no other shutdowns.
City workers have also been dealing with water leaks. More water line improvements will be discussed at next month’s City Council meeting. Thompson also reported a major water leak at the Eagle Railcar facility. While doing some dirt work on their property, Eagle Railcar workers accidentally destroyed a 2-inch water meter and a 6-inch water line.
Carl Childers’ old cotton house across the street from the Lumberyard will be restored soon. The Lumberyard has also been undergoing repair and restoration, which should be complete in a couple of months.
Police Chief Felix Pantoja gave the Police Report for the month of January. There were 98 calls, 12 traffic warnings, 4 citations, and one vehicle crash. He also requested that the Council approve an application for an NIBRS (National Incident-Based Management System) grant, which the Council did.
City Auditor Ricky Bowman presented the annual audit report to the Council and explained and advised on several points. After hearing Bowman’s report, the Council approved it.
The Council then ordered a City election to be held on May 4 to elect a Mayor and one Council Member as the terms of Mayor Pete Porter and Council Member Susie Alford are expiring. The Council approved Sheila Santiago as election judge, Helen Perry as alternate judge, and Donna Parker and Belinda Ince as early voting judge and clerk for the May 4 election. The two twelve-hour early-voting dates will be April 29 and 30.
The Council then approved a resolution that sets necessary civil rights and fair housing policies for the CDBG (Community Development Block Grant).
It set the date for this year’s July 4th Celebration for Saturday, July 6, and the City’s annual Spring Clean-up from Thursday, March 21, to Thursday, March 28, with hours of operation from 9am to 7pm.

WEATHER REPORT: COOLER WEATHER, A LITTLE RAIN
 |
| Puddles in the street after Monday's light rain. |
Today should continue the warming trend with a high of 65°, and then it’s back to the seventies again with a high of 77° tomorrow, 78° Friday, and 72° Saturday. As you might expect, however, these warmer temperatures will be accompanied by strong southwest winds. That will change on Sunday when a norther blows through, dropping the high to 53° and down into the mid-forties the first half of next week.
There is little chance of rain until next Tuesday. Currently, the forecasters are giving us a 40% chance of precipitation then.

† RACHEL RUTH WIMAN
Ruth Wiman, beloved aunt, teacher, and friend,
had a glorious and long-awaited homecoming on Tuesday, January 29, at
the age of 103 years.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, February 16, at First Baptist Church, Roscoe. Reverend David Draper will preside at the service; Reverend Bill Wiman of Bryan will deliver the message.
Born on May 11, 1915, in Roscoe, Rachel Ruth Wiman was the 12th of 14 children born to Tom Dick and Mary Alice Wiman. She grew up in Roscoe, where she graduated from high school in 1933. She attended Hardin-Simmons College and Texas Tech College from which she graduated in 1940, earning a degree in Home Economics Education. She taught at Roscoe High School from 1946 to 1976. She was known as a practical, caring teacher who was a positive influence on the lives of many students, including several nieces and great-nieces who were students in her classes. Ruth was a life-long Baptist, with membership in the Wastella Baptist Church as she grew up. Her family eventually joined the Roscoe First Baptist Church, where she was a loyal and active member. She taught Sunday School for 30 years. In September of 1989 she moved to the Baptist Memorial Retirement Center in San Angelo where she lived and enjoyed a great number of good friends. She was a member of First Baptist Church of San Angelo at the time of her death.
Ruth lived her life in a most inspiring, humble, and servant-hearted manner. She always looked to the interests of others; she sacrificially provided compassionate care for aging parents and siblings for many years of her life. For her family and friends, she served as a wise counselor and a patient teacher. She enjoyed travelling; she accompanied many loved ones on adventures around the world. Having her along always made the journey more fun. She had such a joyful spirit; she loved to laugh and take the time to make each person feel special. Her faith in God and her relationship with Christ was evident in the fruit of her life. She did not pursue material possessions or fame; her life was focused on her walk with Christ.
She has left a legacy of godly living and deep family love as an example for all who knew her. She is survived by 32 nieces and nephews and three generations of great-nieces and great-nephews, in addition to many caring friends and caregivers.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Baptist Retirement Community, (903 N. Main Street, San Angelo, TX 76903), to the Ruth Wiman Endowment Scholarship at Hardin-Simmons University (P.O. Box 16100, HSU, Abilene, TX 79698), or to the donor’s favorite charity.
