Winter parking and snow regs go into effect

Submitted by admin on Thu, 11/25/2021 - 12:02am

Humboldt city residents are reminded that there is a "no parking ordinance" in effect on any city street between the hours of 3-7 a.m. during the months of December, January, February and March.

The holiday Season is a time for family and celebration. This is also a time of the year when local weather can quickly become dangerous and unpredictable. The city of Humboldt enacted several ordinances to mitigate the dangers this weather creates for pedestrian, and vehicle travel. The Humboldt Police Department reminds citizens of the following winter ordinances and appreciates in advance the community’s compliance.

69.11 WINTER PARKING RESTRICTIONS
No person shall park any vehicle on any street between the hours of 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. of any day during the months of December, January, February, and March.

City of Humboldt sells garbage stickers

Submitted by admin on Thu, 11/25/2021 - 12:01am

The yellow and blue garbage bags for the City of Humboldt are in short supply. The bags are sold out at Hy-Vee and Fareway and only a few remain at Humboldt City Hall. As an alternative, the city is asking citizens to purchase stickers at the customer service counters at local supermarkets or City Hall. They are 6 for $5.

This is how to properly attach the sticker to your existing plastic garbage bag.

Humboldt City Hall reports that there is still a shortage of yellow and blue garbage bags available.
Humboldt City Clerk Gloria Christensen reports that Waste Zero, the city’s contracted supplier, says there is a shortage of resin needed to produce the colored city of Humboldt garbage bags and does not know when more will be produced.
As a solution, Hy-Vee, Fareway and Humboldt City Hall are selling garbage bag stickers. They are sold as a six-sticker pack for $5. They may be attached to any clear or opaque commercially sold plastic garbage bag. Attach to the top draw string of the bag by folding over. One sticker per bag please. There is a 50-pound limit for the contents of plastic garbage bags.
Citizens are encouraged to purchase the stickers and utilize them if they do not have a blue or yellow city of Humboldt garbage bags.
Any questions may be directed to Humboldt City Hall at (515) 332-3435.

The Iowa Print Sportswriters Association, in conjunction with the Iowa Football Coaches Association, this week announced their all-state teams and Humboldt has six players selected in Class 3A.
Wildcats named to the first-team include senior quarterback Caden Matson, senior offensive tackle Ben Kuehnast and junior wide receiver Will Orness. Matson, who was among the state leaders in both passing and rushing, was selected as offense utility.
