This is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together to honor our veterans and their
service and sacrifice. I encourage everyone to attend and show your support. As the weather begins to
change, Prescott residents are encouraged to check smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and
vehicle winter readiness. These simple precautions can make a big difference in safety for your home and
family. The fire department reminds residents to take advantage of available safety resources,
including guidance for safe fireplaces and heaters. Meanwhile, our Prescott Police Department reminds everyone
to remain alert while driving, particularly during early morning and evening hours when daylight
is limited, and to watch for pedestrians and bicyclists.
A Recreation Service Department continues to advance the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, which
ensures that Prescott's parks, trails, and open spaces continue to meet the needs of residents
and visitors alike.
The West Granite Creek Park Conceptual Site Plan, which will be reviewed by the city,
Council this week represents an important investment in accessible outdoor spaces for families,
sports programs, and community events. These improvements reflect our ongoing commitment to maintaining
a healthy, active, and connected community. That concludes this week's update. Thank you for
staying engaged with our city government and for your continued participation in our community's
events and decisions. I'm Mayor Phil Good and I'll update you.
again next week. Thanks so much for watching.
