Summary
City staff previewed several upcoming community events: a Police Operations open house (Sept. 30), a food truck festival at Quarry Point Park (this Saturday noon–7 p.m.), a fall cleanup day (Oct. 20) and a separate paper‑shredding event (Oct. 11).
During staff and council communications on Sept. 11, Apple Valley staff announced several community events and logistics.
Police Chief Nick Francis invited the public to an open house at the Police Operations Building on Tuesday, Sept. 30, from 5 to 7 p.m.; he said parking at the site is limited and staff arranged for parking at Eastview High School stadium with crossing assistance. "We're gonna have some food. We're gonna have some fun. There's self guided tours. There's a scavenger hunt," Chief Francis said.
Eric Carlson, Parks and Recreation Director, announced the FaunaFall Food Truck Festival at Quarry Point Park on Saturday from noon to 7 p.m., encouraging residents to attend for food and music.
Charles Grogg previewed the fall cleanup day scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 20, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Aquatic Center parking lot (Splash Valley). He said the event accepts nonhazardous items (appliances, tires, scrap metal, furniture, remodeling debris) with unit or weight‑based fees and that the city aims to break even. Grogg said shredding will not be part of cleanup day this year because of site and safety constraints, and that a separate shredding event will be held Saturday, Oct. 11, from 9 a.m. to noon; shredding will be free but limited to about four grocery‑sized bags per vehicle.
Grogg also warned residents not to arrive before the 8 a.m. opening time to avoid long early morning queues and noted a detour around Johnnycake Road due to construction. Payment options for cleanup day include cash, check and credit card.
All event details and schedules are available on the city website, staff said.
