For the Mayor & City Council

The Bills

Councilmember Thomas is scheduled to review the bills for the August 2, 2017 City Council meeting.   
Neighborhood Gatherings the Focus of National Night Out 2017
The La Vista Police Department will participate in a series of neighborhood gatherings in celebration of National Night Out on Tuesday, August 1.
 
In the past, La Vista's National Night Out celebration was one larger event, but this year the Police Department wanted to focus on smaller, neighborhood-level interactions. Several neighborhoods throughout the City will be hosting gatherings and the Police Department will be stopping by each one for a neighborhood roll call.
 
Beginning at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, August 1, the Police Department will be visiting neighborhoods throughout the City at these locations in this order:
  • Hunter's Creek - 67th St. Cir.
  • Ardmore - 71st St.
  • Crestview Village - by the leasing office
  • Apple Grove - Ivy Ln.
  • 78th St. and Park View Blvd.
  • Southwind - 90th St. and Granville Pkwy.
  • Val Vista - 103rd St.
  • Val Verde - 97th and Val Verde Dr.
 
At each location, Officers and Command Staff will meet with residents for 20 to 30 minutes and visit about crime prevention and other topics.  Those who live in La Vista are invited to find a location closest to their home and join the Police Department for National Night Out 2017.
