A Letter From
Mayor Bryan Kennedy
March 18, 2020
Glendale Residents and Businesses:
As we work together to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, I'll be providing informational updates utilizing a variety of platforms. We know this global pandemic has uprooted society, testing our resources and operations on all levels.
I am working diligently with the six North Shore Community Leaders, the North Shore Health Department, and County/State/Federal Emergency Services to keep our community safe. To keep North Shore Residents informed, we've created a hub of COVID-19 Resources & Information at www.WELCOMETOGLENDALE.com.
You'll find up-to-date advisories, mandates, news, and resources.

We are monitoring the crisis closely . We're operating under the assumption that the virus will subside by August. This will be a very challenging situation for all of us, particularly our most vulnerable. Resources will be strained. My team is working on lining-up additional services. We may call on our residents and faith-based leaders to assist with food donations and errand-services.
Please stay willing to help your fellow neighbor.
In community,
Mayor Bryan Kennedy

Please Absentee Vote!
In order to reduce traffic at City Hall, we are encouraging voters to request a ballot via mail. You can login to  myvote.wi.gov  to request a ballot.  (The older population is able to select “indefinitely confined due to age/illness/disability”. This selection allows them to not be required to submit a photo ID.) If you do not have access to a computer, you can come to City Hall to early vote. Please refrain from coming to City Hall if you have experienced any flu like symptoms, been out of the State recently, or are just looking for a social outlet. We have a very small staff and in order to effectively administer this election, we need to keep our staff healthy.

Please Help!

  • Please check-on your neighbors...especially the elderly. Offer to run errands for those unable to leave their home.

  • Please visit the WelcometoGlendale.com page often. We have made this site a centralized hub for COVID-19 information and resources. We add breaking-news frequently.

  • Please be kind and considerate during this time. Unnecessary hoarding will only create panic and deprive others of essential staples.

  • Please support our local businesses. Purchase from local retailers' online stores, order restaurant food for pick-up, etc. Together, we can minimize the economic impact of this crisis.

  • Please follow the CDC guidelines for staying safe (listed below).

  • Please like the WELCOME TO GLENDALE Facebook Page for frequent updates.
