Good evening,
Spring is here, and if you're looking for a way to make a difference in your community, we recommend

apply today. Applications will be accepted until March 30.
In addition, we've also been getting reports on coyote sightings in the community. If you'd like to learn more, or if you see or encounter a coyote, please read
this guide on the City's website.
Now, here's what's making news for the week of March 21, 2018.

Prevent smoke alarm failures by performing periodic checkups
