Make Way!









If you'd like to be one of the first to see how the Volunteer of the Year boulder looks unshrouded, then we invite you to come to City Hall TONIGHT at 5:30pm for the unveiling ceremony. Come and see past recipients acknowledged for their efforts by Mayor Richardson, and enjoy some light refreshments while you're here!
And don't forget, tonight is also the opening show for Concerts in the Park...so make way...the California Cowboys are coming to town! They'll be performing their best western tunes in the Community Park starting at 6:00pm, so be sure to pull out those cowboy boots (or why not, the whole get-up - we know it's there) and get ready to have a grand 'ol time!

Volunteers Testing Fire Hydrants Around Town


Thank you to William and Justin, who further give rise to the evidence that Brisbane's volunteer spirit is still what embodies this town and what its foundation is strongly built upon!

What you'll want to drop off and where you'll want to drop in!

Brisbane Police Chief Tom Hitchcock was approached by Supervisor Tissier about putting in a pharmaceutical disposal bin when City Hall and the Police Dept. were about to undergo a major remodel project. Now that the remodel has been completed, the Brisbane Police Dept. is home to its very own drop-off bin, with Tissier commending the Chief for "making good" on his promise.
You'll see the drop-off bin right when you enter through the Police Entrance, located on the back side of City Hall (there is a separate driveway entrance from Valley Drive). You may drop off your unwanted pharmaceuticals when the lobby is open, or simply press the yellow button for assistance. We applaud Supervisor Tissier's efforts and are glad to assist in the prevention of chemicals from pharmaceuticals entering the environment!

New Installations Around Town!
measuring...
drilling...

vacuuming...

hammering...

and doing some last drilling and vacuuming...



before he can apply the wrench to get those screws in tight!

With the removal of some protective covering, we are just about done...

and that, folks, is Brisbane Public Works proudly serving you!
On your next visit to City Hall, you'll also notice this sign that's been installed (also by Leland, and also in the same manner as above!) next to the rain garden.

Come and learn how the rain garden and bioswale (located on the opposite side of City Hall along Valley Dr.) are able to filter and clean stormwater before it enters Brisbane Lagoon and drains into the Bay. Check out this article from the San Mateo County Times that talks about our rain garden and where you can expect to see others like it popping up around the Bay Area!

Shining Year-Round

It's not just during the holidays that stars shine in Brisbane. Through July 31st, the Parks & Recreation Dept. is seeking dedicated, enthusiastic, and motivated teens to join the 2009/10 Youth Advisory Committee. If you or someone you know is a Brisbane resident between the ages of 13 and 18, and would like to provide input on the programs offered for youth and teens in Brisbane, then may we suggest you join the YAC! For an application, click here, returning it to YAC Advisor Steve Beaty no later than Friday, July 31st. For additional information, Steve can be reached at sbeaty@ci.brisbane.ca.us or 508-2144.
And just a reminder, those are the only lights that should be shining this weekend. Fireworks are illegal in Brisbane so please refrain from lighting them - they are dangerous and could cost you that summer spending money you've been saving!
