Please. The next time you do this give more than 1 day notice.
Knowing this last week would certainly helped me get things ready better to bring. Thank you.

Hope you do this more often.

I agree with the previous comment. I can’t make it on Saturday on such short notice because of a previous appointment, but if I had know about sooner than two days, I could have given my documents to my son to drop off.

Also, why such a very short two hour time frame???? Doesn’t leave residents very long to get involved. With only two hours, I can imagine what traffic will be like both on the street and in the high school parking lot.

There will be two more shred events this year; one in the summer and one in the fall. The dates have not yet been chosen but stay tuned to the News page and the eNewsletter for further information.

The City notified us about a 3 weeks ago. Nextdoor.com repeated it a couple times and the City had a shredding event last February also. It is only a 2 hour period as they have learned the longer periods just have a lot of people standing around on the payroll as the first 2 hours attract 90% of the FREE EVENT.
