Yucca District E-News for...
October 8, 2020
Good afternoon Yucca Residents,
One thing I have learned during this pandemic is that dates, deadlines, and schedules have become exceedingly fluid. I sent a special edition of the newsletter on Monday, October 5th reminding people to register to vote as that was the deadline. After the newsletter went out, the courts extended the registration deadline to October 23rd. As I write this, an appeal has been filed to reinstate the original October 5th date. I suppose the only thing we can do is stay tuned. For the most current information, check with the Maricopa County Elections Department.
Another issue that has been confusing with all the date changes is the census. The deadline has been extended to October 31st. The date went back and forth for a while but it appears it is now set in stone. Glendale historically has pretty good participation in the census. Let's make it even better! It is required of every household in the country, information is confidential, and for the first time, this year citizens are able to fill out their information online. If you don't fill it out either online or send it through the mail, you will get a knock on your door. So make it easy on yourself, go to www.2020census.gov, answer nine simple questions, and check it off your To-Do list.
Residents of Glendale will have the opportunity to voice their opinions on four important bond questions in the upcoming general election to be held on November 3, 2020. If approved by voters, questions one through four will make $187,900,000 in new bond financing available for infrastructure improvements in existing parks, street reconstruction, expansion of the Glendale landfill and storm drain improvements. There have been several public meetings to inform Glendale residents. There is one more public meeting scheduled for 10am Monday, October 12th at the Main Library located at 5959 W. Brown Street or you can watch a previous public meeting by clicking here. Each bond question is a separate ballot item. For a complete breakdown of each bond question and for more information, please visit the City's bond webpage at Bond2020.
And finally, please beware of a phone scam. The city has received complaints of scammers calling citizens and telling them that they are "Glendale City Government" and asking for their credit card information. When residents question the caller as to why they are asking for the credit card number, the caller hangs up. Glendale City employees will never call to solicit credit card information from residents. Please do not give out any personal information to solicitors calling you.
Wishing everyone a great and healthy weekend!
Joyce

Do you need help with your utility bills or know someone who does?
The City of Glendale may be able to help.
Our community partners at SRP, APS, and Southwest Gas are doing their part to help utility customers experiencing difficulty paying their bills during the pandemic. It is critically important that households with past due accounts contact their provider right away to avoid shut-off or other penalties. Disconnect policies and assistance programs vary by provider and customers should communicate circumstances as soon as possible to have their account notated and discuss options to avoid service disruptions. In addition to options from the utility companies, qualified households may be eligible for utility assistance through our Community Action Program, apply online at www.glendaleaz.com/cap or call 623-930-2854 for assistance.
