From our family to yours...
Please don’t drink and drive this holiday season. If you choose to indulge, be responsible and assign a designated driver. Another available option is to consider a ride-share. Making responsible choices can ensure you and your family can enjoy the holidays.
All City Facilities will close at 3:00 PM today.
Please have a safe and happy New Year!
We have been notified by OEMA that refuse service for Monday routes are running late...evidently there were a lot of good little boys and girls this year, resulting in a lot of Christmas wrapping paper and boxes slowing down the pickup process. Please be patient as they make their rounds safely through your neighborhood to get everybody's trash picked up.
This sweet pup is available for adoption at the Mustang Animal Welfare Center!
