Voters will decide April 8, 2025 whether to extend the Transportation Trust Fund Sales Tax, a 1/2 of one percent sales tax that has been renewed every five years since 1995 to improve the city's street network.

Regular schedule for curbside trash and recycling over the holidays. Through Jan. 10, we will be picking up a reasonable amount of extra trash. Christmas Tree disposal options available.

Personal fireworks allowed only Dec. 31 from 11:30 p.m. until Jan. 1 at 12:30 a.m.
