Fall Leaf Pick-Up Extended
Due to the snow, the city did NOT come by last week to vacuum up leaves. THIS Monday, November 2nd, the City will begin Week Two (November 2nd thru 6th) of leaf pickup (and FINAL pickup) and luckily we are getting some sunshine to dry out the lawns and leaves prior to the weekend to rake (or re-rake!!!) to the curbs. If you can't do it, or your trees still have their leaves - you can always bag and haul down to the compost/brush dump located on North Hiawatha past the Pipestone RV Campground on the East side of the road.
Election Day
Where do I vote? Free and fair elections? Assistance and accessibility? Need to register on Election Day? Do I need to bring ID? Tips for new voters.
