The City of Glendale Takes Steps to Improve Cell Phone Communication Capabilities

For some time, the City of Glendale has experienced weak cell phone reception in various parts of our community. One of these weak reception areas is the City Hall itself, which provides public safety services to the citizens of Glendale and houses our emergency operations center. The City has also received numerous complaints from residents as to the generally poor cell phone coverage in the City.

Mosquito Fogging Begins May 20, 2008

Beginning Tuesday, May 20, 2008, and continuing every Tuesday and Thursday evening (weather permitting) through the Fall of the year, the Public Works Department will be fogging for mosquitoes. Fogging usually begins around 9 PM and lasts until all streets have been sprayed, usually about three (3) hours. The department will soon begin placing larvacide tablets in the creeks and storm water drains every 30 days to help control mosquito infestation in areas where there is standing water. If you have any questions regarding our fogging or larvacide procedures, please contact City Hall at (314) 965-3600.
