Clovis help line -- it works

I wrote over the weekend about the new Clovis online automatic message form. I sent in two messages to the city - one complimenting them on the beautiful wildflowers and an inquiry about some campaign related graffiti on a block wall along Clovis Avenue - and I promised to report back on city officials' responsiveness.

I have to say I'm impressed with the results.

I sent in my messages to the city late Saturday night, before 11 p.m. When I got up and checked my email Monday morning, I had a thank-you response on my flower compliment waiting for me, before 8 a.m. And I just checked my personal email and see that the other issue has been resolved as well: "The wall has been painted over and the graffiti is no longer visible."

Of course, I'll have to drive by to make sure that's the case, but assuming it is, that's a pretty effective response time, I think. It's all part of the "Clovis way of life."
