I hope by now all of us are taking this Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic very seriously. I expect you've heard the news reports about it's impact on China, Italy, Seattle, and now New York. So I will not belabor the subject except to say please, -- at a MINIMUM -- follow the CDC recommendations to wash or sanitize your hands often, practice social distancing of at least 6 feet, and avoid ALL group events (business, friends, and even family) of more than 10 participants.
Other than the few public buildings we have closed to protect the public's health (libraries, recreation centers, and the adult center) all city services are being provided just as you are used to. Police, Fire, Sanitation, Streets, Water, etc. are all fully functioning. And speaking of our great Water Services Department, please know that your city water will continue to be safe and reliable, just as always. However, some cities are having problems with clogged sewer pipes due to residents flushing wipes, paper towels, and other products down their toilets. Please, let's not have those problems here! I hate to have to say this, but please remember -- nothing but poo, pee, and TP should be flushed down your toilet!
I am happy to see that Glendale residents have responded to the plight of our local restaurants by continuing to order food for take-out and delivery. Other local businesses are feeling the same crunch, too. Gannet Newspapers has created a new website, supportlocal.usatoday.com, that will allow users to select local businesses in their community to support by buying gift cards for use at a later time. If a business you wish to support is not on the list, you can add it, and if you are a local businessperson register you can register your business on this site.
We are all under much more stress now than usual, so please do be even more kind than I know each of you already are. Reach out to friends and neighbors to see that they are well and have what they need. Just knowing that you care about them will help them more than you can imagine. TOGETHER we will get through this!
Have a Great Week!
(And don't forget -- there is a lot of good COVID-19 related information on the City's
website as well as links to other important websites as well.)

importance of driving safely on neighborhood streets.
They are
18" x 24" signs,
red on one side and yellow on the other.
Let me know if you'd like one for your yard.
