GEORGETOWN RD WATER MAIN BREAK UPDATE: Repairs have been made and crews are flushing the system at the hydrants on both sides of the road. Water will be restored within the hour. Once water service is back on, we advise all residents to flush their water systems by running cold water from their taps for a few minutes. This will help clear any air pockets or discoloration that may have occurred during the service interruption.

REMINDER: Tonight — Mon, July 15 — is the monthly meeting of the Board of Commissioners, which was rescheduled due to the holiday weekend. The meeting will take place at 7 pm at Carslake Community Center and is also available via Zoom at the link below. On tap this month are several new policy proposals that the City is eager to gather public feedback on. Chief among them are: 🗳️ A non-binding referendum that would place a question on the ballot this November asking voters to decide if they would like to move the City’s May municipal election to November, when turnout is historically much higher, while remaining nonpartisan. 🌳 A binding referendum that would place an additional question on the ballot this November asking voters if they would support the creation of an Open Space Tax ranging from .01 - .04 cents annually (per every $100 of assessed home value), which would be dedicated specifically to funding citywide recreation improvements, park maintenance and upgrades, and historic preservation projects, as prescribed by state law.
