Yucca District E-News for...
September 24, 2020
Good afternoon Yucca Residents,
At this past Tuesday's City Council meeting, Mayor Weiers issued a proclamation naming October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the City of Glendale. In addition to the proclamation, Glendale City Hall will be lit up purple for the month of October.
As I've mentioned in past newsletters, the City will have four bond issues on the November 3rd General Election ballot. The City has a dedicated bond webpage to help answer your questions. There are several public meetings planned, as well. Tomorrow evening, Friday September 25th, Heroes Regional Park Library will host one of those public meetings from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. If you are unable to make that one, there are several more planned. Check out the calendar for dates and times of future meetings. You can also watch a previous public meeting by clicking here.
Another update on Glendale PD's efforts to stop street racing on our City streets this past weekend. This past Sunday's totals included 16 arrests, 80 violations, and 10 vehicle tows. This effort by GPD is to enforce traffic laws to keep Glendale citizens safe. This initiative will be in effect for the foreseeable future. GPD posted another video to their Facebook page to show the community what they are dealing with.
This is the last time you will hear me talk about the census as the September 30th deadline is quickly approaching. This information is vital to our community. Having an accurate count is critical because census figures are used to distribute more than $675 billion dollars in federal funds and each resident counted will equal approximately $3,000 yearly in state, federal, and regional funds for Glendale. These dollars support critical services in our community including public safety, education, healthcare, transportation, and housing. Because the census count is also used to determine state and federal electoral districts, an accurate count will also ensure that our community receives the appropriate number of representatives in the state legislature and Congress. And for the first time, this year residents will be able to respond to the census questionnaire online. Residents can also respond by phone or request a paper form.
For more information, please visit the city's census webpage.
Typically, the newsletter after a council meeting contains a short video on the highlights of the meeting. This video was not available at publication of this newsletter. It will be posted on the City's website sometime Friday, September 25th. If you would like to watch it, please check glendaleaz.com Friday.
Don't forget these important dates for voting in this year's election. The deadline to register to vote is October 5, 2020. You MUST be registered by that day to vote in the November 3rd General Election.
Wishing everyone a great and healthy weekend!
Joyce

 City of Glendale Facilities to begin Reopening October 1, 2020
Safety First
Those using public amenities will still need to abide by the social distancing measures that are in place, as well as making sure groups are not larger than 10 people. Our city park rangers and code enforcement officers will be monitoring these locations regularly and will be responsible for breaking up large groups and making sure people keep proper distance between themselves. Our employees will make sure that anyone in violation is informed about what measures need to be in place for them to be able to continue to use any of our public amenities. Visitors will also notice more frequent cleanings at all facilities.
For details about changes to specific facilities and services, please click on the links below:
Glendale Adult Center - While the Adult Center will remain closed at this time, the city continues to plan a reopening of the Glendale Adult Center while monitoring state benchmarks for the spread of COVID-19.

2020 Household Hazardous Waste Collection
RESERVE YOUR SPOT TODAY!
The City of Glendale's annual Fall Household Hazardous Waste collection (HHW) is approaching. Residents are provided the opportunity to have items such as paints, pesticides and old chemicals removed from their home at no additional cost. By keeping such chemicals out of the City's solid waste stream, it reduces the chance of a chemical reaction that might cause a fire, lessens the environmental risk at the landfill and reduces the potential for an exposure to citizens and city staff.
Residents may call customer service at 623-930-2660 to schedule an appointment, staring September 21 through October 16.
The collection of such HHW will be collected October 12 through October 30 for those residents who scheduled an appointment.
PLEASE NOTE: You must schedule an appointment in order to participate.
