Yucca District E-News for...
August 29, 2019

This week the City Council Workshop agenda had two items:
  1. Discussion of the Downtown Strategic Leadership Group's recommendations for events in downtown Glendale. I applaud the effort of this group and support their recommendations.
  2. Discussion regarding the sale of the Glendale Cemetery. This discussion was a follow up answering more City Council questions as well of those generated by the public after viewing the first workshop discussion on the subject.

The Heroes Regional Park Library is in the running for two Arizona Forward Environmental Excellence Awards! The newly opened library is among Arizona projects under consideration for the "Buildings and Structures" award category celebrating contributions to design and sustainability. Additionally, the public art at the facility, Neighborhood Roots: Sugar Beets to Cotton and Beyond, by artist Pete Goldlust, is under consideration for an award in the "Art in Public Places" category celebrating outstanding works of art visually accessible to the public. I am looking forward to the Arizona Forward dinner to learn if we won for either or both categories!

It's still very hot so be sure to protect yourselves, your children and your pets when outside. Please do not leave children or pets in the car. 
  
Sincerely, 
Joyce
