There is always something happening in the City — from infrastructure projects and park improvements to community events and City Commission actions.

That's why the City publishes The Bay Brief, a weekly e-newsletter designed to keep residents in the know.

Each edition includes updates on:
• Current projects
• Commission highlights
• Upcoming meetings
• Community events
• City accomplishments
• Important announcements

A transparent government isn't just about making information available but also communicating proactively.

If you'd like City news delivered directly to your inbox each week, consider subscribing to The Bay Brief and stay connected with what's happening throughout our community.

Loose Leaf Pick-Up begins Monday, October 19 in City neighborhoods, starting on the west side and moving eastward over 5 to 7 weekdays. Crews will then return to the west side to repeat the process.

Follow the progression map that divides the City into six zones. Leaf collection will begin on the west side in Zone 1 and progress eastward through all zones. Residents can view the map to identify their zone and prepare for leaf pickup accordingly. Due to weather conditions and the unpredictability of leaf fall, exact dates for each zone's pickup will not be provided. The City encourages residents to be ready by having their leaves gathered before collection starts in their zone.
