Resolution may be located in Superior, but the company continues to show that it is a good neighbor to all the communities in the Copper Corridor.
At the Mammoth Town Council meeting held on Thursday, June 18, Resolution Copper donated $9,226.50 to the Town of Mammoth. Dave Richins, Government and Community Affairs Advisor for Resolution Copper, presented the check to Vice-Mayor Frances Wickham. The money is to be used for the swimming pool’s summer swim program and waste filtration system.
In other discussions and actions the Town Council passed an ordinance concerning recall from office and the ineligibility of a recalled official to run for office again for a set period of time. An ordinance regulating use of ATV and off road vehicles within town limits was approved. The Council voted to approve a request from local Veterans of Foreign Wars to maintain and clean up the Old Mammoth Cemetery. In return, Veterans of the Tri-Community will be allowed a burial plot at no cost. Details will be worked out concerning this.
The Council voted to authorize staff and Council members to explore costs and regulations to expand the cemetery and create an interment area for non-residents and to create a policy on fees for non-residents to be buried in the proposed section of the expanded cemetery area. Permission was also granted to research a grant for a mini-water park at the swimming pool and renovation of the pool.
