Preparation for Winter Weather

In preparation for winter weather this week, we wanted to make citizens aware of some schedule modifications if the predictions really occur:

  1. All city offices are already scheduled to be closed tomorrow, February 17th, for President’s Day. 
  2. The regular council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 18th, will be postponed to a later date (and will be published when a new date has been set). 
  3. Mondays trash is scheduled to be picked up on Tuesday due to being closed for President’s Day. We may be delayed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays routes due to snow and below freezing temps. Worst case scenario, we will be caught up on all regular trash days next week. We will not be charging anyone for trash overages for next week or the following week.

All updates and modifications will be posted on the City website and Facebook page. Dispatch will run 24/7 regardless of weather. Again, this is solely in anticipation for severe winter weather. If we do not get what is predicted then it will be business as usual. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we (hopefully) close out the winter season. Check in on your friends, family and neighbors during this cold stretch. And keep our first responders and city lot crew in your prayers as they brave these cold days. 

Take care,

Ashley Qualls Groves
