Snow Plowing and Leaf Collection Don’t Mix

Snow plowing in several neighborhoods has been suspended for leaf collection.

Crews will not plow streets that still have leaves to collect. Plowing these streets would pile more snow on the leaves and further impede the program. The City Leaf Collection Program will resume when Public Services determines it can continue without damaging equipment.

This may delay ice rink set up. If the rink is not up by Dec. 28 for the Harry Potter skate event, the event will be moved to Jan. 4.

2020 Census

The U.S. Census Bureau will mail information regarding the 2020 Census to all residents in March 2020. Census forms need to be completed and returned to the Census Bureau by April 1, 2020, preferably online.

Why is the Census important? The information helps the federal, state and local government plan for the services they require and provide to residents. The population of each city and state help determine congressional representation, funding and state revenue sharing to local communities. The higher the population, the more funding and representation the city will have at the state and federal level. When residents don’t complete the survey form, the City misses out on crucial funding that cannot be adjusted until the next census in ten years.

If you’re interested in working for the Census, go online or call 1-855-JOB-2020.
