Theft of City Property - Police Requesting
Public's Help
Over the last several months, a number of city
sprinkler valves have been cut and the brass fittings have been stolen. These
valves operate the city sprinkler systems for the parkways along our city
roads. The valves are most likely being stolen for the value of the brass.
Suspects are cutting the brass out with a Sawzall type tool.
City signs are also being stolen at an increasing
rate. Suspects are steeling stop signs, street name signs, street sweeping
signs and speed limit signs. Police are requesting help from the public to
report crimes and help catch these thieves. These suspects may even appear to
be contractors servicing the equipment.
If you see individuals tampering with any of these
items, please call police immediately.

Tip of the Week
Get Home Safely
From Your Cinco de Mayo Celebration - Stay Safe and Sober
If you are hosting a party for Cinco de
Mayo:
*
Remember, you can be held liable and prosecuted if
someone you serve is involved in an impaired driving crash.
*
Make sure all your guests designate a sober driver
in advance or help arrange ride-sharing with other sober drivers.
*
Serve lots of food and include lots of
non-alcoholic beverages at the party.
*
Keep the phone numbers for local cab companies
handy and take the keys away from anyone who is thinking of driving impaired.
If you are attending a Cinco de Mayo
Celebration Party:
*
Designate a sober driver before the party begins
and give that person your car keys.
*
If you do not have a designated driver, call a cab,
sober friend, or family member to pick you up.
*
Never let a friend leave your sight if you think
they are about to drive drunk.
*
Always buckle up.
Alcohol not only dangerously impairs your driving
skills, it impairs your judgment. If you see a friend under the influence of
alcohol - don't let them get behind the wheel.
