Hello, I'm Mayor Phil Good with your weekly update. I hope you can join us next Friday, May 30th, at the Prescott Public Library, from 5 to 8 p.m. for Fest in the West, the commemoration of Prescott Library's 50-year anniversary at the Goodwin Street location. Acquire and bring your library passport to receive tickets that can be used for prize drawings.

Check out the back lawn for unlimited bubbles, balloons, face painting with the teen advisory group, crafts, abundant photo

Of course, the Prescott regulators and their shady ladies will be in attendance as old West ambassadors of Prescott. The Prescott City Manager, Dallon Kimball and I, will kick off events on the main stage at 5.30 p.m., followed by line dancing and interspersed recognition events. Former Prescott Public Library employees are invited to join us on stage at 6 p.m., but Garso will emcee the event, and you can expect a great mix of tunes starting from the 70s. Food will be available from vendors at an additional cost. In the meantime, be sure. sure to check out the special display celebrating the history of Prescott Public Library and the library

throughout the month of May. The friends of Prescott Public Library who are sponsoring the event will also be holding a book sale and selling other fun items. I hope to see you there. The city of Prescott has started a water quality treatment program at Goldwater Lake. Water treatment pellets manufactured by AirMax called Muckaway will be deployed once a month throughout the summer months. The treatment pellets are safe and do not harm any aquatic life or pets. The treatment pellets will not disrupt any lake activity. Goldwater Lake will remain open as usual. Thank you for your understanding.

The Prescott Fire Department wants to remind you to test your smoke alarms monthly to make sure they're working properly. A working smoke alarm can cut the risk of dying in a home fire by nearly 50%. Just push the test button on the alarm to ensure it's operational. Test every alarm in your home and only take. takes a minute. Also, don't forget to replace batteries at least once a year, unless you have a 10-year sealed battery. As you work on your spring cleaning projects, you might be interested in the City of Prescott's Solid Waste Division, new appointment-based bulk program. Each residential trash customer qualifies for one complementary collection per calendar year. The required pre-registration

begins June 2, 2025. The new collection-based bulk collection is as easy as one. two, three. One, register online for your pickup. Two, get confirmation and instructions from our team.
