City announces Labor Day closure, back-to-school safety reminders
The Oakdale City Council held its Monday morning briefing on September 2, 2024, to announce a holiday closure and share important community updates as the school year begins and local events kick off this week.
All Oakdale city offices will be closed today in observance of Labor Day, with facilities reopening Tuesday morning at 8 AM. The council used the brief meeting to address several matters affecting residents.
With schools reopening, the council issued a public safety reminder to drivers. As Skyview Middle School and other district schools begin the academic year, officials urged motorists to slow down and stay alert in school zones and residential neighborhoods. Drivers are asked to watch for school buses and children walking to and from school, particularly during morning and afternoon hours.
The council also promoted two community events happening this week. The Oakdale Farmers Market will operate Wednesday from 2 PM to 6 PM at the City Hall parking lot, featuring fresh apples and other produce from local vendors. On Saturday, September 7th, members of Oakdale Professional Firefighters Local 5175 will hold their annual "Fill the Boot" fundraiser at Hy-Vee from 8 AM to 4 PM. The campaign raises money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
The brief meeting reflected the council's focus on community safety and engagement as the city transitions into the fall season.
