Oakdale observes Memorial Day; opens award nominations
The Oakdale City Council held a brief Monday meeting primarily to announce the city's closure for Memorial Day and to open nominations for its annual landscaping award. The session also reminded residents about the city's water conservation rules.
Oakdale's city offices were closed on Monday, May 26th, in observance of Memorial Day. The city used the occasion to honor military members who made the ultimate sacrifice and encouraged residents to live with purpose and gratitude. Offices are scheduled to reopen on Tuesday.
In other business, the city announced that nominations are now open for the Acorn Award, a program that recognizes properties throughout Oakdale for excellence in landscaping. Both residents and businesses are encouraged to submit nominations, including for their own properties. The deadline to nominate is June 30th, and winning properties will be recognized by the City Council in the fall.
The council also reminded residents and businesses about Oakdale's water conservation policy. The city operates an odd-even watering schedule: properties with odd-numbered addresses may water on odd-numbered days, while those with even-numbered addresses may water on even-numbered days. Importantly, all watering is prohibited between 10 AM and 5 PM to help conserve water during peak heat hours. The reminder comes as water conservation remains a priority for the city.
