Wake Up TriCounties Mayor Rich Volkert

The Mayor of Galva, Rich Volkert, joined Wake Up Tri-Counties on Wednesday to discuss Monday's Galva City Council Meeting. One big topic was road repair as the City of Galva looks to maintain roads now to save on repairs down the road. The Mayor also addressed another incident in which a train blocked a portion of the City while stopped. The Mayor says he's received complaints regarding stopped trains but he admits, there is not much that the City of Galva can do regarding the trains other than invite residents to contact the railroad owners directly with complaints regarding stopped trains. The Levitt Amp Galva Concert Series has opened their 2022 fundraising season to match the money provided by a grant from the Levitt Amp Galva Concert Series. And the Mayor discussed the upcoming cemetary clean up in Galva which will take place in the month of March. Mayor Volkert reminds everyone that if you have decorations up at a local cemetery that you would like to keep you should go to local Galva Cemeteries this week to recover the items. Otherwise, items left at grave stones will be removed by City employees.
