Upcoming City Council Workshop and Voting Meeting and will be

Greetings!

Well, our summer hiatus is over and it’s time to get back to work! Our next Workshop and Voting Meetings are this coming Tuesday, August 10th. You can find the agendas for both meetings by clicking on the link in the left column.

It seems like this year’s monsoon season has been the wettest we’ve had in the last decade or two. While the moisture is certainly welcome, the combination of high heat and humidity can be very dangerous. Please be extra careful about working or exercising outdoors over the next several weeks — and of course, never leave a pet, child, or vulnerable adult in a parked car, not even for “just a minute”.

There is a reason this time of year is called “the dog days” of summer — but it might not be why you think! Click here to find out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_days .

As always…
Keep Cool and Stay Hydrated!

Feral Cat Resources for Residents

Outdoor cats include community cats (stray lost and abandoned pet cats and unsocialized feral cats) as well as owned cats that are allowed to roam. Reducing the number of community cats and managing their care is the goal of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs. The goal of the TNR programs is to get as many of these outdoor cats, spayed and neutered as possible to control breeding.

For information on how to get a cat colony under control in your neighborhood, click here for some resources that are available to you.
I introduced an idea designed to remind drivers of the importance of driving safely on neighborhood streets. 
They are 18" x 24" signs, red on one side and yellow on the other. 
Let me know if you'd like one for your yard.
