Dear Mount Pleasant residents and business owners,
Happy Fall! I hope your school year and fantasy football teams are off to a great start. I'd like to take a minute and recognize everyone who worked before, during and after Hurricane Dorian to ensure that our Town was prepared, safe, and back to business as soon as possible. Our debris removal efforts are finishing up, and we appreciate your support as we handle the massive amount of vegetative debris left by the storm. We have a strong and resilient community and I am grateful for the community's efforts in this regard.
We are excited to focus on our community's youth this month with the Annual Children's Day Festival at Park West Recreation Complex on October 20th. We will also soon be accepting applications for the new Town of Mount Pleasant Youth Council. Please keep reading below to learn more about this exciting new initiative.
There are several other upcoming meetings and events scheduled for the next month, so I invite you to sign up to our Notify Me module and stay updated on the latest Town news, projects, and events. For more information about all that is happening in the Town of Mount Pleasant, please visit us online, engage with us on Nextdoor, like us on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter.
Best Regards,
Our Mission Statement
"To deliver superior performance in a manner that is distinctive and impactful to each person served and that establishes a standard for quality that endures for generations."

Street Sign Replacement Program

To meet Federal Highway Administration requirements, the Mount Pleasant Transportation and Public Services departments have partnered in a joint street sign replacement program. The capital improvement project will replace about 7,500 signs over the next five years. The Street Sign Replacement Program will include all street signs within the Town, with the exclusion of private roads and sideways. Existing signs will be removed if they are considered redundant or do not meet standards. Additional signs may be added where deemed applicable.

| Calling all high school aged citizens in Mount Pleasant. Applications for the brand new Youth Council will be available online in mid-October. The goal of the youth council is to better our town by gaining a new perspective of what needs to be done to foster an inclusive community for our teens, and to give students who aren't of voting age, a way to voice their opinion. The overall mission is to empower the youth to make decisions and lead change about topics important to them. Applications will be due back in November 2019. Click HERE to learn more. |

| Monthly Stormwater Tip- Don't Pour Fats, Oils, or Grease Down Drains |
REMEMBER:
- Fats, oils and grease can clog pipes when poured down the drain
- These clogs can lead to sewer overflows which can contaminate our waterways.
- Don't put fatty food scraps or oil down a garbage disposal.
- Use a bottle or can to collect FOG's from your kitchen and put them into your household trash.
