Last night’s National Night Out in Parfet Park was delightful–very low key, lots of locals, free hot dogs, root beer floats, snow cones…and a helicopter! See the photos.
This is an election year for some of the City Council positions, including the Mayor and both districts (Marcie Miller and Saoirsa Charis-Graves). Marcie has announced that she will not run again for her District 2 position. Mayor Sloan and Councilor Charis-Graves are planning to run for re-election.
One of the District 2 candidates, Lauree Valverde, is holding a campaign kick-off party at Cannonball Creek from 6-8. We will announce other election events as we hear about them!

Planning Commission meets tonight at 6:30 in City Council chambers. They will hold a public hearing on a proposed change to the process for vacating streets. The change is designed to make the review process more rigorous. FYI, “vacating” a street means the city is agreeing to give it up as a public street. See the meeting packet for the details.
The Public Arts Commission meets tomorrow morning at 9. They will decide on a vendor to develop some medallions to be embedded in the sidewalk between the library and Clear Creek. They will discuss a possible art installation at the entrance to the Heritage Dells neighborhood. They will consider a first draft of an RFP for a major new piece to be placed in the roundabout at South Golden Road and Ulysses. See the meeting packet for the details.
