Barrel District Weekly Update

Glendale's Barrel District
February 11, 2022
The next City Council Workshop and Voting Meeting will be
February 22nd.
View City Council meetings, agendas and minutes here.
Greetings!

In our Workshop on Tuesday, the Council discussed the future of the City-owned 1.48-acre parcel on the northeast corner of 55th Avenue and Northern which was formerly the clubhouse and parking lot for Glen Lakes Golf Course. The Council has decided to offer the parcel for sale for future commercial or office use. This will require a General Plan Amendment and rezoning, which includes holding public meetings to receive community input. I will post the dates, times, and location of the meeting(s) when they become available.

Last week I invited you to share with me your thoughts about Glendale as we head into the FY ‘22-‘23 budget process. Happily, I have heard from several residents, but I would like to hear from more of you. What would you like to see added, enhanced, deleted, or reduced in the services the City provides to our residents? How can we improve our community in ways that would make being a Glendale resident even more rewarding? Have programs been cut or delayed in the past that you would like to see restored? What do you see in other communities that you wish we had or did here in Glendale? Please send me your thoughts!

As you can see from the notices farther down in this newsletter, there are a wide variety of events happening across the city this weekend! To this list, I would like to point out the Glendale Historical Society will be hosting tours of the 1898 Guest House at Sahuaro Ranch Park on Saturday from 10am to 2pm. Together with the Antique Engine and Tractor Show also happening on Saturday at the park one can enjoy a family-friendly step back in time and experience some of Glendale’s early history!

Have a great weekend!

Free Feral Cat Resources for Glendale 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. To contact someone to assist with a Feral cat issue in your neighborhood at no cost, please click Here. Once you complete the online TNR form, someone will follow up with you within two business days. For additional questions or concerns, please contact my office at (623) 930.2221 .
