Public Works crews are gearing up for the warmer months ahead by preparing city parks and athletic facilities for the spring season. The department is actively cleaning pickleball and tennis courts throughout Oakdale and installing nets to get the facilities ready for use. However, restroom facilities at city parks will remain closed until temperatures warm up sufficiently.

Meanwhile, residents should expect to receive property tax statements and valuation notices from Washington County in the coming weeks. The county's Assessor's office has begun mailing these official documents to property owners. Anyone who has questions about their property valuation or wants to dispute their assessment should contact the Washington County Assessor's office directly for assistance.

The city also announced the launch of a comprehensive 2025 events calendar designed to help residents stay informed about upcoming activities and programs. The calendar highlights several new initiatives, including an Eco Fair scheduled for next month and a new holiday tree lighting event planned for December. The calendar is available as an online resource for the public to browse and plan ahead.
