For homeowners, that means a possibility of getting the discounted rates enjoyed when Buzzi was operated at full steam.

“But, again, no promises,” Curran said.

Mayor Dom Rivara also isn’t betting on rate relief just yet, but he is signaled he’s satisfied with GTI’s progress so far.

“We’re moving along,” Rivara said.

Separately, if you want to operate a golf court or ATV on city streets, keep an eye peeled for an announcement from city hall after New Year’s Day.

The council amended its golf cart ordinance and commissioner Jim Cullinan urged any interested residents (he knows of a dozen or so) who want to register their carts to watch for a notice after the holidays. The city has to inspect and register vehicles and is loosely eyeing a Saturday in early 2020.

Finally, the city is looking to hire another police officer, but it looks as if the department is another month or two from doing so.

Cullinan and police chief Jim Knoblauch expressed a mutual interest in bringing another officer on board to ensure all shifts are properly covered. A few candidates have been identified, but testing and interviews are pending.

Other matters:

•Rivara pronounced Sunday’s holiday event “such a success” and thanked the many volunteers

•Knoblauch announced $350 was raised for Cops 4 Cancer during “No Shave November,” a beard-growing fundraiser that drew participants from several departments

•Shop with a Cop also was pronounced a successful event
