Mike Chmielewski welcomes the new/old Palmer Mayor Jim Cooper.

Mike and the Mayor discuss the City Council meeting of October 28th. The Palmer City Council approved a measure banning camping or sleeping on public property. Violators may be connected with resources and could face fines of up to $300.00. A separate proposal banning sleeping in areas that block access to public spaces, such as private driveways and sidewalks, was delayed for legal review. The council unanimously approved a $12.08 million contract with Wasilla-based H5 Construction to build the new Palmer Library. Shane Auginaush was sworn in as Palmer Police Department’s newest officer.
