Dear Sahuaro District Residents,
This week during Council Workshop, the City announced phase 1 of a customer service program dubbed "GlendaleOne". When fully implemented, GlendaleOne will provide a single point of interaction for the public to easily request service from the City of Glendale whether in person, by phone or electronically, regardless of what department is responsible for providing service.
While there will be methods for in-person, telephone, and electronic requests, GlendaleOne is designed to allow anyone from any department to enter a service request for a submitter without having to transfer a phone call or direct them to another area.
Full implementation is scheduled for January 2020 and will allow a person to input requests via the web, their cell phone, as well as the traditional methods of email and phone calls.
The Glendale Glitters lighting ceremony and program is scheduled for Friday, November 29th at 5:30 p.m. Due to the forecast for rain, check the City's website, glendaleaz.com, to find out if the weather causes any delays or cancellation. I hope to see you there!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Ray Malnar
Councilmember

Tree Maintenance at Sahuaro Ranch Park
The City is in the process of conducting an inventory/analysis of trees in our park system.
One of the first actions on the list was the pecan grove at Sahuaro Ranch Park, due to the age and condition of the trees. These trees, in the picnic area of the park located between the historic area and the sports complex, were found to have several issues relating to high use in that area of the park, restricted watering and a lack of soil nutrients.
The Parks Division is currently working on the plan to rebuild the flood irrigation system in the park which will improve irrigation and fertilizers have been applied to address the soil nutrient issues. However, nine of those trees must be removed because they are dead, or in serious decline. In addition, 22 trees require pruning to remove deadwood, which will help to reduce stress on the limbs and improve the structure of the trees.
This work, scheduled to begin on December 9th, will require some large equipment coming and going, and will be disruptive for park users during that time. The Parks Division appreciates your patience while this project takes place.
