Visit With A Council Person:
Councilman Ryan Burger will be at the Grimes Public Library on the first Tuesday of every month from 5:30 to 8pm. He is there to listen to you as to what you want out of your city government in Grimes, any ideas you might have to make it even better, and help put you in touch with the right people with any concerns you have. No appointment necessary, just stop in and enjoy some time talking with a member of your city government. Ryan is also available through email at rb@burgers50111.com .

Water Notice - Friday April 13th:  Over the next few days the water chemistry will change as a new pump is being put in place in the Jordan Well. The water may be harder and may taste different but is safe to use and drink. We expect that the possible change could continue through Tuesday.

Road Closure: CTI has requested closure, again of SE 19TH Street eastbound from Hwy 141 to Gateway Drive on Thursday April 26th from 9am to 3pm. The contractor will be providing traffic control during this time. Westbound traffic on SE 19th should not be affected.

Help Prevent Crime - A reminder from the Polk County Sheriff's Deputies that as the weather warms, please be sure to lock your vehicles and close your garage doors at night. Installing motion detection lights will also deter crime. Report any suspicious activity to 515-286-3333 or 911.
