Hello everyone!
I hope you're all doing well and are enjoying the cool fall weather and beautiful changes in the environment.
Speaking of environment, as you all know, Flagstaff is big on helping preserve the natural beauty that surrounds our lovely mountain town. To help out, we at the city are a new program where we are giving away FREE reusable bags at locations across the city to help reduce the waste paper and plastic bags can cause. Until November 4, you can pick up a free reusable bags at several grocery stores around town and can contribute to this worthy cause. Check out the official city Web site at: http://www.flagstaff.az.gov/ for a complete list of stores and locations you can get your free bag.
On another note, as the weather cools and snow storms become more likely, the Streets Division crews will be working hard to clear streets to make your drive safer during the winter months. To help them out, from November 1 to April 1, 2008, the annual winter parking ordinance will be in effect. This means that you cannot park on city streets or alleyways from midnight to 7 a.m. every night. Some downtown streets have a no parking between 3 to 7 a.m. policy.
I know it's a pain, but if you ignore the ordinance, you may end up getting a ticket or even towed if it is snowing (the ordinance is in effect whether it's snowing or not). So, be sure to park your cars off the streets. If you have issues doing so, contact your property manager to make arrangements. For more information on specifics, contact FPD at 556-2319.
And, lastly, in case I don't blog before Halloween, I hope you and yours have a safe and scary Halloween! Here's some events you could look forward to for family-friendly Halloween fun:
“Howl-o-Ween” at the Thorpe Park Bark Park is a dog friendly event that includes pet costume contests, pet adoptions, pet related merchants and lots of canine tricks and treats! The event will occur from 1 to 3 p.m., Sat., Oct. 27 at Thorpe Bark Park. Any donations received will benefit the Second Chance Center for Animals.
The Flagstaff Recreation Center will host its annual Halloween Carnival from 5 to 7 p.m., Sat., Oct. 27. Admission is free and the event is designed for children ages 5 to 15.
Have a great one!

Hello everyone,
Long time, no blog. In case you missed the last couple of entries last month, this is Michelle Talsma, the PIO intern for the City of Flagstaff. So, hello from our beautiful little mountain town!
Anyways, we first of all wanted to thank everyone who came out to last week's first annual CityFest here at City Hall. The event was a big success with plenty of public attendance and input. We really appreciate all those who were able to make it! Your input means a lot to us. And, in case you weren't able to make it, no biggie! Kim Ott (the city's PIO) was on the scene interviewing all of the department gurus about the info they had for Flagstaff residents. Those interviews and more will be airing on local Channel 59 next week, so tune into Channel 59 for times of the show.
In other City news, nominating petitions for the Mayor (who serves a two year term) and City Councilmember (who serve four year terms) positions are now available. Candidates for these positions must be registered voters and live within Flagstaff city limits. Petitions are due by Jan. 11 and must contain between 473 and 945 signatures from qualified voters... so if you or someone you know is looking to run for one of these positions, you should get started right away! Nomination petitions are available at City Hall and for more specifics, call Margie Brown, City Clerk, at 779-7607.
And, since it is now October and the sounds of ghouls and goblins are in the air, there are some exciting Halloween events just around the corner:
If you want your pooch to enjoy Halloween, take him or her to the "Howl-O-Ween" festival at Thorpe Park on Sat., Oct 27. It is a dog-friendly event with activities for both pets and their humans.
Be sure not to miss the Halloween Harvest, on Halloween, from 4-8 p.m., at the Jay Lively Ice Arena. It will be a fun event full of trick or treating, a costume contest, ice skating, games and more!
That's about all from your favorite City Hall... have a great and safe fall!
