FEATURED THIS WEEK 

City Hall Landscape Improvements
Over the coming weeks City staff will work to improve the safety and beauty of the landscaping surrounding City Hall and the fountain. This year City Hall celebrated 30 years of operation and the current trees surrounding the fountain have reached their life expectancy and are now creating maintenance and tripping hazards around the building. The trees will be removed and replaced with attractive, drought tolerant trees and plants. The project will start on October 13 and take six to eight weeks to complete.
