Happy Monday Morgan Hill!
On behalf of the City Council and all City Teammates, we hope you and your family had a warm and happy Thanksgiving!
We experienced some good rain over the weekend which is forecast to continue throughout the week. The City has been fairing well with only minimal temporary flooding in isolated locations. We encourage the entire community to assist with helping to clear storm drains in your respective neighborhoods that may be blocked by leaves and other debris. This will greatly decrease the chance of future flooding for you and your neighbors.
Please join Mayor Rich Constantine for coffee this Saturday morning, December 7, from 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
The Mayor buys the coffee and you bring your comments, suggestions and questions for discussion in a comfortable and informal environment. All are welcome. We hope to see you there.
The year-end holidays are upon us and wouldn't be complete without the Holiday Lights Parade and Tree Lighting in downtown Morgan Hill, this Saturday, December 7. Come see your friends and neighbors, plus Santa, too. Full details can be found below.
Have a wonderful week ahead. Stay dry and enjoy the holiday lights!
