The city's Public Works and Police departments will host open houses Saturday, May 17, offering residents opportunities to learn about municipal services and interact with staff.

The Public Works Department open house will run from 9 a.m. to noon, featuring demonstrations of equipment including the Multihog, a specialized vehicle used for clearing sidewalks and trails. Department representatives will showcase various tools and machinery used in daily operations.

The Police Department will hold its open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. the same day. The overlapping schedule allows residents to attend both events, as encouraged by department staff in promotional materials.

Officials invited community members to bring children and questions to the events. The open houses are designed to provide residents with firsthand looks at city operations and equipment.

Both departments emphasized the educational nature of the events, positioning them as opportunities for residents to gain insight into municipal services and engage directly with city personnel.
