Public Works update

The city's Public Works Department installed traffic signs last week, along the Hand Avenue construction project route. They also repaired asphalt on Willis Drive.

Stormwater crews removed a dead tree from a ditch along Division Avenue and removed old concrete from the ground at Fortunato Park, to make room for the installation of a hanging swing.

Summer camp registration

Registration for the Ormond Beach Summer Connection Day Camp Program has started.

The camps will be for children ages 6 through 13 (as of Sept. 1, 2013) and will be held at the South Ormond Neighborhood Center, 176 Division Ave. There will be two 4-week sessions: June 17 to July 12 and July 15 to Aug. 9

Each session will cost $200 for Ormond Beach residents (proof of residency required), and $300 for non-residents.

Completed enrollment packets, which can be downloaded at www.OrmondBeach.org or picked up at the Ormond Beach Leisure Services Registration Office, 399 N US 1, can be dropped off at the registration office. Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis until all camps are filled.
