"COME GROW WITH US"
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.
