It’s always hard to say goodbye to amazing employees, especially when they've been a part of your work family for a combined 42 years. This week, elected officials, city staff, family and friends gathered for a special retirement luncheon to celebrate two incredible pillars with our Public Works Department: Vincent Hicks (23 years of service) and Robert Thomas (19 years of service).

Vincent and Robert... we say thank you for all the early mornings, late nights and the countless ways contributed to the success of our wonderful city. Public Works definitely won't be the same without you, but you’ve more than earned this next chapter!

Lets give both Vincent and Robert a HUGE Forest Park round of applause for a job well done. Happy Retirement!

🌞🏡 Summer is here, and it's the perfect time to help keep our city looking its best! Check out these few simple steps that can make both a big difference and a lasting impression:

🌱 Mow It, Don't Grow It: Keep grass and weeds under 6 inches to maintain a neat and beautiful neighborhood.

🗑️ Trash the Trash: Remove junk, debris, and accumulated waste from your property to help keep our community clean and healthy.

♻️ Hide Those Bins: Store garbage and recycling containers on the side or rear of your property when they're not out for collection day.

🚗 Park Smart: Vehicles should be parked on approved surfaces like driveways. Not on grass or unpaved front yards.

Together, we can keep our neighborhoods safe, clean and welcoming all summer long! 📞 Questions about code compliance requirements? Contact Code Compliance at (404) 366-4720 for or visit www.forestparkga.gov/codecompliance.
