Oakdale Announces Movie Night, Night to Unite Registration Deadline
The city of Oakdale will host its first Movie in the Park event Friday at the Walton Park Bandshell, featuring a screening of Moana 2 beginning around 9:15 p.m.
Oakdale Recreation and the Police Department are organizing the event, encouraging residents to bring chairs and blankets for the outdoor screening.
The city also issued a final call for Night to Unite registration, with the deadline set for Friday. The community event, scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 5, allows residents to invite Oakdale Fire, Police and elected officials to neighborhood gatherings. Residents planning to host events and requesting official visits must register on the city website at oakdalemn.gov.
City officials addressed recent resident concerns about increased power outages during severe weather. Trees near above-ground power lines were identified as a leading cause of outages. While Xcel Energy maintains vegetation within 10 feet of power lines, residents are responsible for trees beyond that distance, particularly dead and dying trees.
The city emphasized that maintaining reliable power service requires cooperation between the utility company and property owners in managing vegetation near power infrastructure.
