Easter Egg Hunt

Peter Cotton Tail is making his way down the bunny trail to the City of St. Robert for our Annual Easter Egg Hunt. The hunt will be held on Saturday, March 31, 2012, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. The egg hunt will be at the Municipal Ball Field next to the Community Center again this year. As al-ways, there will be four age groups: New-born to 2 years old, 3 to 5 years old, 6 to 8 years old, and 9 to 12 years old. The New-born to 2 year old group and the 3 to 5 year old group may have a parent aid them in hunting eggs. The Easter Bunny will be present for photos. Remember to bring a basket to collect eggs and a camera for photos with the Easter Bunny. If you have any questions about the event, please contact Betheny Martin at 451-2625 or by email at bmartin@saintrobert.com. We look forward to seeing every-one hop on out to the Annual St. Robert Easter Egg Hunt.

St. Robert Fire Department Mission

The mission of the St. Robert City Fire & Rescue continues to be protecting the lives and property of the citizens of our city. In order to fulfill this mission we are continually responding to motor vehicle accidents, medical first responder calls and naturally fire alarms which you will often see us responding to. In addition to seeing us during these responses you may notice us traveling around the city to help our Inspector as he inspects new construction or even annual inspections of our area businesses. Most often you may see us around the city in some capacity of our ongoing training. As a matter of fact, we train in some capacity on a local level every day unless we are actually working an alarm. Other times we are sending various members of our department to schools or hosting schools from MU or the Division of Fire Safety. It is difficult to maintain our skills and we certainly don't want to see any of you, our citizens, having a disaster in order for us to sharpen those skills, but we do want to be prepared to take care of your needs when the occasion happens to arise.

We are also available for providing educational programs to our schools about fire safety, etc. Everyone expects to see us doing these programs during Fire Prevention Week, but this is actually a year round program.

The public is also provided with many other services by our department. Last month I mentioned our CPR and First Aid classes each first and third Thursday of the month and these continue to be kept full each session. Our department also provides a service installing child restraint seats in vehicles. Our technicians install these seats for you at no charge and sometimes that's not an easy task, but each child is very important to us and their safety is our first concern.

Property Maintenance Regulations

The beautiful weather we have had reminds us that spring is fast approaching and with the enjoyable activities also comes the sometimes less enjoyable yard work. As a re-minder, the City of Saint Robert has codes and ordinances pertaining to the maintenance and up keep of personal property. The staff will be con-ducting weekly inspections for property maintenance violations, some of the nuisances that become a problem are cutting of grass, weeds and vegetation. Grass, weeds and other types of vegetation must be cut and maintained to be of a height no greater than ten inches. All exterior property and premises shall be maintained in a clean, safe and sanitary condition. All accessory structures, including detached garages, fences and walls shall be maintained structurally sound and in good repair. Buildings shall have approved ad-dress numbers placed in a position to be plainly legible and visible from the street or road fronting the property. These numbers shall contrast with their background. Numbers shall be a minimum of four inches high with a minimum stroke width of half an inch. If you have any questions whether a property is in violation of the City of Saint Robert codes and ordinances or if you know of an address that is in violation, please contact the city at (573) 451-3320.
