Mowing season is moving into leaf raking season. Leaves may be burned in ditches, bagged for trash pickup, or taken to the City's designated burn pile. Please do not bag if you are taking to the burn pile. There is still some mowing to be done. Remember, property owners/tenants are responsible for mowing/maintaining ditches and alleys.
You are responsible for your dog at ALL times. If you let your dog out in the morning or evening, you are still responsible for it not leaving your property or control. If you are still in the house, the animal is NOT in your control. Also, please respect your neighbors and pick up after your pet and keep it under your control at ALL times.
