Special Projects Coordinator Kate Ryan dons her “guest hat” to paint a vivid picture of what to expect at the upcoming State of the City and Community Appreciation Night. We talk about what’s next for the Houghton Park and Play, how you can help with mowing safety, give a shout out to animal services, and share how to get pre-approved ADU plans. Plus, we recap the latest council meeting and tee up events like Conversations with Council, Junk in the Trunk, the spring recycling collection event, and the Senior Council Annual Art Show.
