Yucca District E-News for...
September 5, 2019

This week's city council workshop had two agenda items:  Discussion of a downtown special event strategy and further discussion regarding the sale of the cemetery.
 
The downtown Strategic Leadership Group made some advisory recommendations to Glendale's senior management which then presented the ideas to city council for consensus on direction. The most important outcome was the direction given to move the Chocolate Affaire to the Civic Center. This common sense idea secured unanimous council consensus if for no other reason than presenting chocolate in an air conditioned venue seems to make a lot of sense.
 
Council received further clarification and answers to questions about the sale of the cemetery that arose at the last workshop. A new reversionary clause will be added to the sale contract allowing the cemetery property to revert to the city should there ever be an issue with the purchaser.
 
Look for slightly cooler temps to arrive in the Valley by next Wednesday where we will finally see a daytime temperature under 100 degrees. I think we're all ready for that even though it may not last very long.

Sincerely, 
Joyce
