July 2021
Hello Friends, Happy July 4th! I hope you enjoy a safe and special holiday with friends and family! My great grandmother came to this country looking for a new and more secure future after surviving the Armenian Genocide of 1915, which makes July 4th always a meaningful holiday to me.

A reminder that city council meetings are the first and third Tuesday of the month at 7:00pm. Meetings are in-person and public comments are heard at the beginning of the meeting for items not on the agenda. City Hall is located at 30111 Crown Valley Parkway.
