As you are no doubt aware, Governor Ducey's Stay-at-Home order expires at midnight tonight. You will see more restaurants, retail stores, and service providers open for business, but with social distancing, face masks, and increased disinfection in place. Obviously, every individual gets to decide for themselves the extent to which they choose to enlarge their social and business circles at this time. I plan to take things slowly, and to continue to protect myself and others as best I reasonably can - by washing my hands often, avoiding group gatherings, and wearing a mask when I'll be in close proximity to others.
The public will once again be welcome to attend City Council and Board and Commission Meetings in person beginning next Tuesday, May 26th. For the time being, the Council will be holding our meetings at the Glendale Civic Center where we will be better able to observe social distancing guidelines. Playgrounds and courts in our parks, and dog parks will be opened tomorrow, with restrooms and the Hero's Park splash pad open later in the week. Some library service has already begun, with additional services being phased-in over the coming weeks. Other buildings and services not mentioned above will be opened to the public over the next several weeks and into June and July. There is no reopening date for the Adult Center projected at this time.
The Council voting meeting this week featured more annexation activity in the Loop 303 area, including the Allen Ranches annexation request which would include an industrial development on 614.6 acres and a variety of single-family homes on 250 acres. The proposed residential zoning designations include R1-4, R1-6, & R1-8. You can read the staff report on this proposal HERE and watch the meeting video HERE.
Often in this space lately I have encouraged you to be extra patient and kind during this time of stress. I was touched earlier this week by a story I read in the Arizona Republic about a kindness payed during a time not so different than this, and that kindness repaid to others in need more than 170 years later. Read the story HERE.
Stay Well,
(And don't forget -- there is a lot of good COVID-19 information at arizonatogether.org as well as the City's
