Reason you may have missed them? Because one of the best things about the new lights are they shine directly on the field and limit light pollution on the surrounding houses. Lights that illuminate just the actual field? Well there's a novel idea.

Stop Sign Face Lift
Did you notice new hardware on a stop sign or light pole near you and wonder if they are beaming signals to the government? Well you would be right. It's not a big brother thing...it is a water meter thing! In addition to new water meters being installed throughout the City, these antennas will be sending the reads back to City Hall. Reduced staff time on reading meters equals more money into maintaining and improving our system. The Utility Department recently
posted pictures of the hardware on their new, official Facebook page.

JUST IN TIME
Take the survey!
We are currently evaluating the sign regulations in our zoning ordinance and would like your input. Citizen participation is essential for valid results. Please take a few minutes to participate. Don't know anything about our sign regulations? We want to know that, too. Please take the survey! There are two different surveys: one for residents and one for business owners. If you are both, please take both!
Spring Pick-Me-Up has arrived!
Get in there! No more procrastinating about the garage that has swallowed your car. Instead of the usual once a week debris removal, City crews will be picking up brush and small household items daily throughout the City all next week. We've even reduced the cost for the big stuff. Then, next Saturday there will be a City-wide clean-up event in trails, parks and neighborhoods. We need volunteers! Kids are welcome! We even feed you.
