City posts disaster relief contact and schedules storm‑cleanup after weekend flooding; community picnic set for anniversary
Loading...
Summary
City staff said a recent flooding disaster prompted a press release directing residents to call 211 for disaster relief, public‑works crews will collect storm‑damaged landscaping, and the city will host a community picnic as part of its 75th anniversary.
City staff reported to the Glendale Common Council that the city is responding to storm and flood damage from a recent weekend event.
The administration said it issued a press release directing residents seeking disaster assistance to call 211 and that the city will post a link for damage reporting. Public Works will collect storm damaged landscaping later in the week and staff said they have chippers and can accept material as long as items are manageable for crews to process. Staff asked residents to submit service requests for specific concerns.
The council was also reminded that the city’s 75th anniversary community picnic will be held next Saturday on the City Hall campus, with parkway closures, food trucks, live music, children’s games and scavenger hunts; staff and aldermen encouraged families to attend.
Why it matters: The flood relief information and cleanup plan provide immediate assistance options for affected residents; the picnic is a community event that will affect local traffic and use of public spaces.
Discussion and direction: Staff asked residents with heavy damage to call the city and submit service requests; they confirmed Public Works can chip manageable tree and shrub debris and will schedule removal. No formal council action was required for these informational items.
