City Commission Meets Monday

MondayResidents can find agendas for city commission meetings on the city's website.

Please note, meeting agendas are often revised at the last minute, so please recheck the agenda prior to the meeting for any changes.

Leaf Collection Is ending soon. Now’s the time to make a plan for your remaining leaves!

IMPORTANT: After December 19, leaves and yard waste will not be collected curbside or on your regular refuse day.

Here are your options:

• Hold onto your leaves/yard waste until collection resumes April 6, 2026
• Take a limited number of bags to SOCRRA between Dec. 22, 2025 – Mar. 30, 2026
• Or simply leave the remaining leaves in your yard until spring — it’s actually great for soil and pollinators

PLEASE DO NOT rake or blow leaves into the street once the crews have made a SECOND pass through your neighborhood. They clog catch basins, create slippery conditions, and make a giant wet mess no one enjoys. 

Every attempt will be made to complete a third pickup, but that’s entirely weather-dependent. Michigan likes to keep us humble. It’s best to plan as if there won’t be a third pass — and then be pleasantly surprised if the weather gives us a lucky break.
