The City is Your Partner; Civic Engagement is Key
|
|
Help Beautify Your City
Goodyear's "Adopt-A-Street" program gives local groups and organizations an opportunity to be involved in the community by controlling litter and weeds in an assigned segment of a city street.
Private corporations, non-profit or for-profit groups, clubs and organizations are all eligible to participate; or put together your own group of interested individuals.
Each team will receive safety and procedure training by the city, as well as safety vests to be worn while on duty. At least four times a year, the Team will pick up litter, pull or cut weeds and remove any light debris such as home-made signs. Large or heavy objects, or hazardous materials, will simply be reported for later removal by city staff.
Serve on the Rate Review Committee
The city of Goodyear is looking for residents to serve on the Rate Review Committee. Up to eleven positions are currently open and committee members will serve six to eight months, not to exceed more than one year. The committee is scheduled to meet once a month.
Goodyear’s Rate Review Committee is currently working on the review of water, wastewater, and solid waste rates; as well as identifying the need to develop a rate of the operation and maintenance of the storm water system. This is an opportunity for residents to provide input and assist Public Works staff with developing priorities associated with all operational and capital needs for these utilities within Goodyear.
Applicants must live in the city of Goodyear and be at least 18 years of age.
Applications are available in the city of Goodyear Boards and Commissions page at
www.goodyearaz.gov.
Help design the new Goodyear Community Library
On August 19, 2019, Goodyear City Council unanimously approved the development agreement for Goodyear Civic Square at Estrella Falls. Civic Square will feature a new city hall, library, and a park and will serve as a highly desirable community-gathering place for events such as festivals, concerts, and parades – creating a true sense of community. The new and innovative 20,000 square foot community library will feature comprehensive library services, enhanced collection materials, multiple community rooms/study areas and collaboration spaces. Goodyear Civic Square at Estrella Falls is expected to be completed by mid-2022.
We are asking Goodyear residents to complete a survey sharing with us what you would like to see added or expanded at your new and improved library at Civic Square.

Be a Good Neighbor... Follow the Codes

Goodyear Animal Control Leash Law
|
Top 4 reasons to keep your pet on a leash while on a walk:
1. It’s the law – the city of Goodyear
requires that dogs be restrained by a leash, not more than six feet in length, and of sufficient strength to control the action of the dog on public streets, public parks or public property.
2. Safety of your dog – a dog can become trapped, injured or bitten by bees or a snake and even become exposed to poison ivy or ticks. Also, a loose dog could get hit by a car.
3. Safety of people – some people are afraid of dangerous dogs. Even friendly dogs that are loose can scare a person or knock someone down, especially a small child. Additionally, an off-leash dog can cause a car accident.
4. Decrease fights with other dogs – an off-leash dog could come across as a threat to a leashed dog or wander up to an unfriendly leashed dog causing a fight.
