Hello Everyone,<\/p>\n
RIVERFEST<\/a> is coming this weekend, get out and watch or even better, participate in the fun, ENJOY!!<\/p>\n Congratulations Lee Olsberg on your retirement and for investing 48-plus years in our Public Works Department working for the Citizens of Valley City.\u00a0From all of us, thank you Lee.<\/p>\n Gosh this drought is persistent!\u00a0Caring for our yards, plants and buildings is really challenging. \u00a0While Valley City is a naturally beautiful city, we need to give a little extra to cultivate said beauty under these conditions.\u00a0The weeds and volunteer trees seem to grow readily so pull, cut or spray the ones on your properties.\u00a0Remember to include the care of your alleys uptown and at home.\u00a0Please keep your properties as nice as possible; thank you.<\/p>\n House numbers help mail carriers, package carriers and emergency personnel find your house in minimum time.\u00a0A house number\u2019s size, contrasting color to background and positioning of the numbers are critical for them to be seen.\u00a0Good house numbers benefit you and are supported by City Ordinance, so please help.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is moving from east to west across the United States and is likely to threaten our area though it has NOT invaded Valley City to date.\u00a0If\/when EAB is threatening, our County Extension Office and State Forest Service will be keeping us informed.\u00a0Currently there are some in southern Minnesota and SE South Dakota.\u00a0Take a few minutes and read a bit about the EAB. \u00a0http:\/\/www.emeraldashborer.info\/about-eab.php<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
