It’s the first Sunday of the NFL season, but here in Cloverdale, our hometown Eagles are already making noise!

While this promo for next week features a few highlights from last week’s 35-0 victory over Upper Lake, their focus has shifted to their next opponent who's making the trip up from Alameda.

This Friday 9/18, the Cloverdale Eagles take flight against the Encinal Jets. It’s aerial warfare on the gridiron while the cheerleaders’ jungle theme takes over the stands. Channel your inner Tarzan (Camouflage and cheetah print look good on you).

The City of Cloverdale and the Cloverdale Police Department are proud to support our student athletes (and a few of our staff are coaches!), and we encourage the community to come out and do the same. It all happens Friday night under the Cloverdale lights. JV at 5 and Varsity at 7.

Eagles football. Welcome to the Jungle!

The City Council will hold public hearings on Wednesday, October 7, also at the Cloverdale Veterans Memorial Building, and Wednesday, October 14 at the Cloverdale Performing Arts Center.

Public Works & Parks has been busy doing the kind of work you really notice when it doesn’t get done.

Crews continued cleaning storm drains ahead of more rainy weather, repaired a water service leak in one of the City’s high-pressure zones, and tackled irrigation leaks throughout City-maintained landscaping.

Over at the Cloverdale Community Garden, things are taking shape. City staff installed filter fabric for erosion control and w**d suppression, then added approximately 120 cubic yards of redwood chips. The park continues to be constructed in-house by our Public Works & Parks team, with more improvements still to come.

The team also prepared traffic-control equipment, barricades, signage, and street closures for the annual Cloverdale Car Show.

A big thank-you to our Public Works & Parks staff for balancing maintenance, repairs, park construction, storm prep, and community events, all in another week’s work.

Friendly reminder, Cloverdale: Thursdays look a little different at City Hall this September.

City Hall will be closed every Thursday from 12 to 5 p.m. Staff from multiple departments, including some of our front desk staff, will be all hands on deck processing public records requests.

If City Hall is on your Thursday to-do list, plan for the morning. Thanks for giving our team some focused time to work through the requests.

On September 11, we pause to remember.

Northern Sonoma County Fire invites the community to join them for a 9/11 remembrance ceremony at the Cloverdale Station. Together, we will honor the 343 firefighters, the 2,977 lives lost, and all those forever affected by the events of September 11, 2001.

Friday, September 11 at 8:46 a.m.
Cloverdale Station, 451 S. Cloverdale Blvd.

While this is not a City-sponsored event, the City of Cloverdale is proud to support the Northern Sonoma County Fire District and our community in honoring the lives lost, the first responders who answered the call, and the enduring significance of this day.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Have no fear, the August Pet of the Month, Ginger, is finally here!

Yes, it’s September. Yes, Ginger is technically our August Pet of the Month. And yes, we firmly believe that municipal multitasking should never stand between a good dog and the digital fame she was promised (But between the time-sensitive projects and the many other duties that keep City Hall moving, last month's announcement got bumped down the to-do list). Especially when that dog has apparently been doing a little multitasking of her own...

According to her family, Ginger likes to help crochet stuffed animals. We use the word “help” somewhat generously, as her latest shift got a little tangled. Somewhere between supervising production and lending a paw, Ginger became part of the project. We’re told a stuffed animal was the intended outcome. Ginger appears to have had creative differences. Some may say unspooling several feet of perfectly good material and wearing it as an accessory is not in the job description, but Ginger is an innovator.

Whether she eventually masters crochet or continues specializing in yarn-based performance art remains to be seen. Either way, this hardworking apprentice has officially earned her slightly belated title as Cloverdale’s August 2026 Pet of the Month!!

Is your pet ready for bragging rights and digital fame, as soon as April or May? Enter them to be inducted into the Cloverdale Pet of the Month hall of fame! Whether you work, live, or play in Cloverdale, we want to see your furry, feathered, scaly, slithery, and even the slightly alarming pets! Direct message their photo, name, and a brief description (don't worry, we will jazz it up) to us on social media (), or by emailing it all to [email protected]. Show the world (well, mostly your neighbors) why your pet is the cutest, weirdest, or most photogenic Cloverdalian!
