No report on the Oct. 25 meeting

I was out of town for the October 25th meeting, the only meeting I have missed since being elected. The audio file will be posted on the City website before long, here.
Added 10/27: The audio file was posted by Jennifer Canady, City Secretary, on Tuesday (10/26), one day after the meeting.

Pet Microchip Day

The City of Woodway will be holding a Pet Microchip Day on Saturday, November 13th from 8 am until noon. This allows permanent ID for dogs and cats, and helps get pets returned if they are lost. The cost will be $15 per pet, which I think is lower than the cost elsewhere. If you have questions, contact Animal Control Officer Albert Lopez at 772-4470.

Agenda for October 25th meeting

The agenda for the next meeting has been posted on the City's website here. It looks likely to be a short one.

Children's Garden Fair a success

The fair was well-attended, with about 600+ visitors by the halfway point. There were a wide variety of booths, from making hats with newspaper to the life of bees to identifying bugs, and many more. Also in attendance was "Carl" the cardinal (see photos below), who I found out was really Emily Zakhary, daughter of our City Manager Yost Zakhary. A good time was had by all. Arboretum Director Janet Schaffer and assistant Megan Salinas did a good job organizing this event. And thanks to all of the volunteer groups that set up and staffed the booths.

Audio of meetings now available

Thanks to Natalie Edwards (Assistant to the City Manager), the audio recordings of City Council meetings have begun to be available on the City website. You can find the link here. So far, only the October 4th meeting is available.
