Street Sweeping Parking Enforcement Suspension Continues
|
|
The Signal Hill Police Department will continue to suspend street sweeping parking enforcement through at least May 31. City staff will evaluate the situation on an ongoing basis. We kindly ask you to move your vehicle when you can on your sweeping day, as street sweeping is important for our community’s health, safety and stormwater management.

Prepare Building Water Systems Before Re-Opening Closed Facilities
|

Business owners and building managers: if your facility has been closed for an extended period of time, the Signal Hill Water Department recommends freshening your water system before re-opening. Please take a moment to review
guidance from the CDC on how to safely prepare your water system for re-opening. You may need to flush your water system and perform other recommended tasks. If you have questions or concerns, please call the Signal Hill Water Department at 562-989-7250.

Pride Flag Commemorates Harvey Milk Day, Pride Month
|
|
May 22 is Harvey Milk Day. To honor his legacy and to commemorate LGBTQ Pride Month in June, the Pride flag will be raised on May 22 at City Hall, the Signal Hill Public Library, and the Signal Hill Police Department. It will fly through June 30.
Harvey Bernard Milk was the first openly gay elected official in California, having served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. His courageous work to end discrimination against the LGBTQ community in the 1970s is seen as a catalyst for the gay rights movement. Milk was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
