Council announces yard waste collection schedule, band performance and election filing reminder

Council members used committee reports to make brief community announcements: Alderman Dorset told residents that the no‑sticker fall yard waste collection starts Monday, October 5 and runs through Friday, November 27 and reminded listeners the service is not free. The council also announced an additional performance by the MCOME Municipal Band on the front lawn of city hall, with an amended start time of 6 p.m. and an expected end time around 7:30 p.m.

Members also reminded residents that several council seats—first ward, third ward, fourth ward and an at‑large position—are open for election filing and encouraged interested community members to submit signature sheets and candidacy packets. The meeting then adjourned.
