In the Loop – August 10, 2026

Our Town Hall meetings are now all set. We’ll be holding 13 meetings throughout the city during September and October, with locations and dates established and two council members assigned to each area.

The purpose of these meetings is simple: The Council and I want to get out into the community, hear directly from you, and learn what concerns or priorities you think we should be addressing in the coming year. We’ll be sharing the schedule on the city website and promoting the meetings in several ways. I hope you’ll make an effort to attend and take advantage of this opportunity to visit with your council members.

On Saturday, August 22, I’ll be holding my Mayor’s Meet Up. This month, we’ll be making mini seed displays in preparation for Peach Days. If you’ve seen the beautiful seed displays at Peach Days, these will be smaller versions that fit on an 8½-by-11-inch sheet.

I’d love to see adults, kids, parents, and grandparents come out, have some fun, learn how the displays are made, and help continue this great Peach Days tradition. The children will also have the opportunity to create displays that can be entered in the Peach Days Seed Display Contest. Come spend some time with me and help us create a display for the city!

Peach Days is just a few weeks away, and it’s one of our community’s great traditions. I hope everyone will plan to participate and help make it a great event.

I’m also looking for nominations for the Mayor’s Awards, which I’ll present at Peach Days. I want to recognize people who go above and beyond to serve our community - neighbors who are always helping others, nonprofits making a difference, businesses that go the extra mile for their customers, and residents or organizations that take pride in our community.

If you know someone who deserves recognition, please text or email me. I need your eyes and ears to help me find those who are making Hurricane a better place. Thank you.

In the Loop – August 3, 2026

Thursday night, the City Council held a special meeting to interview seven applicants for the council seat vacated by Drew Ellerman. Following the interviews, the Council selected Merlin Spendlove to serve the remainder of Drew’s term. His seat will be up for election at the next election. We welcome Merlin and appreciate his willingness to serve our community.

I’ve received questions about the progress of Veterans Memorial Park. The project is moving forward. While we’ve faced some challenges coordinating volunteers, a contractor was on site this week, and additional concrete has been poured. We now have a schedule in place for the various crews and volunteers, so residents should continue to see progress over the coming months.

I’d also like to organize a community workday where residents can come together to help with the final landscaping, including laying sod and planting bushes and other greenery. We’ll keep you updated as plans come together, and I look forward to announcing a completion date and celebrating with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The City Council will hold 13 town hall meetings throughout September and October, with the community divided into 13 areas. Dates have been established, and locations are being finalized before the schedule is posted online.

These meetings will give residents an opportunity to share concerns, ideas, and priorities specific to their area. At least one council member, and possibly another council member or staff member, will attend each meeting. Residents are welcome to attend any meeting if they cannot attend the one scheduled for their area.
Our goal is to increase transparency, listen directly to residents, and better understand the needs of our community.

Keep an eye out for the upcoming schedule and locations.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact the City Office at 435-635-2811, Ext. 111, and you will be directed to the appropriate staff member, City Council member, or to me.

🎆 Good news, Hurricane!🎆

Fireworks ARE allowed for the 24th of July in Hurricane City's preapproved discharge areas!

After the restrictions for the 4th of July, we know many of you were disappointed. Thanks for hanging in there and helping keep our community safe during the higher fire risk. Now, with conditions allowing it, it's time to celebrate responsibly!

📍 Before you light the fuse, make sure you're in one of the City's preapproved discharge locations:
Spilsbury Park ball fields
American Legion ball field
Three Falls Park
Dixie Springs Park

A few friendly reminders:
🎆 Use only legal fireworks.
🌾 Discharge fireworks ONLY in designated public spaces.
🪣 Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby.
🧹 Clean up debris when you're finished.
❤️ Be respectful of neighbors, pets, and veterans who may be sensitive to loud noises.
Let's make this a celebration to remember for the fireworks, not for calling the fire department. 😉
Have a safe and happy Pioneer Day, Hurricane! 🎉🤠

In the Loop – July 6, 2026

I want to thank the citizens of Hurricane for your cooperation during the Fourth of July fireworks ban. I know it wasn’t a popular decision, especially during the 250th anniversary celebration, when many of us would have enjoyed continuing that tradition. I was pleased to hear how quiet the community was compared to past years, and I appreciate how well most people complied with the ban.

While I’m still waiting for the Fire District’s report, the police reported only two fireworks-related calls, and in both cases the individuals immediately put their fireworks away after learning about the ban. No citations were issued, which is exactly the outcome I hoped for. Our goal is voluntary compliance, not issuing fines. By comparison, there were 18 fireworks-related calls last year, so this year’s cooperation made a significant difference and helped protect public safety and reduce the risk of fires. Thank you for helping to make that possible.

I also want to let everyone know that City Council Member Drew Ellerman has sold his home and is moving to Texas to be closer to his children and grandchildren. He plans to submit his letter of resignation from the Council. Once his resignation is received, we will advertise the vacant Council seat and invite interested residents to apply. The City Council will interview applicants and vote to select Drew’s replacement.

Finally, I want to sincerely thank Drew for his dedicated service on the City Council. His planning experience, including his previous work with Washington City, brought valuable knowledge and insight that greatly benefited our Council and community. We appreciate his many contributions and wish him and his family all the best in this new chapter.

Thank you again for your cooperation and continued support of our community.
