CPR Classes
The St. Robert Fire Department continues to provide CPR
and First Aid classes every first and third Thurs-days of
the month. These classes are provided as a service for our
community at no cost except the cost of the card and supplies
totaling $5.00 per person. Our certification comes through
the American Heart Association. We currently have 6 certified
instructors for these classes.
Our Fire Prevention program led by our Inspector Felton Shoemaker
and Firefighter Laura Arrington continues to educate our citizenry
in areas of prevention and safety.
If you would like more information about a Fire Prevention
presentation or to schedule a CPR or First Aid class contact
our office at 573-451-2000 ext. 3103.
Safe Driving
The St. Robert Police Department would like to take this
opportunity to thank our citizens for their careful driving
habits over the past two years. Thanks to you, we as a community
have been able to decrease our accident rate for the last
two years, and the City of St. Robert has not recorded a fatality
accident in two fiscal years. We have also observed an increase
in seatbelt usage. These accomplishments are a direct result
of our community being better defensive drivers and more alert
drivers. I would also like to thank our Police Officers for
their consistent enforcement of our driving laws and their
never ending mission to educate drivers in our community.
In closing I would like to ask for your continued ef-forts
as we continue to make St. Robert a safer community. Come
grow with us.
Park Development
Paddock Estates Neighborhood Park, located behind First State
Bank, will be seeing improvements during 2012. The City of
St. Robert recently purchased a playground structure for the
park. The playground is planned to be constructed on the Northwest
corner of the property between the new access road constructed
in 2010 and the large oak tree. It will have three slides,
monkey bars, and other climbing & play features. Picnic
structures are also planned for installation next year, located
to the South of the new road and on the Eastern side of the
property.
Work will also commence on a small athletic field to accommodate
youth soccer to the East of the property. We would again like
to thank First State Bank for their donation of this property
to our park system, and know our residents will get many years
of enjoyment from its use. If you have any questions or suggestions
for any of the St. Robert Parks, please contact Betheny Martin
at 451-2625 or by email at bmartin@saintrobert.com.
Cut Down on Your Utility Bills
As a valued customer, the City would like to offer some tips
to help you not get the bills that cause your head to hurt.
During the winter, it is advised that you should set your
thermostat around 68 to 70 degrees and leave it. During the
summer, it is recommended that the thermostat be set between
70 to 72 degrees. If you have any rooms that are not being
lived in and contain no plumbing, either completely or partially
close the vents to that room/s.
Regardless of the time of year, a water leak, dripping faucet,
or running toilet can cause a spike in your water bill. If
you look at this chart, you can see how many gallons are used
by the different size of leaks. This does not include your
normal usage. If you have a drip the size of the largest drop
on the chart, in one month the leak alone would cost $1,341.68.
If you hear a toilet running or see a faucet dripping get
them fixed as soon as possible.
