The 2012 Edmond Neighborhood Summit is scheduled for Saturday. City leaders are scheduled to talk at the free summit at the Multi-Activity Center in J.L. Mitch Park.
An occasional perk for those who don’t mind winter fishing is the occasional sighting of our national bird, the bald eagle. Arcadia Lake’s annual Eagle Watch event provides the opportunity for others to see the majestic birds in the wild.
The annual Arcadia Lake Eagle Watch is set for January 6-8 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Eagle Watch visitors start at the Lake Park Office where they will be given maps of the lake. Spotters will help locate the eagles and lake staff will pass along information to guests about where the eagles have been spotted.
The Edmond Neighborhood Summit is a fun event co-sponsored by the ENA, City of Edmond and the Edmond Economic Development Authority (EEDA). At the summit you will have the opportunity to learn more about our community and its resources’, and get HOA management information and education. This is always a great networking experience, with the opportunity to meet your neighbors and our elected officials.
We look forward to sharing more information as we plan our 18th annual summit to be held in Feb. 2012.
Much of the actual City Council agenda during the past year was dominated by variances for Commercial Signs and reports from the Sign Ordinance Committee.
Police Officers and civilian employees of the Edmond Police Department have found themselves in a tight spot after years of growing as a Department to meet the needs of a growing city. The tight spot is due to the fact that they have outgrown just about every area of the Police Station.
The current site of Police Headquarters is a renovated City hall with a 2nd floor addition. The Police Department moved into this building in 1980 when Edmonds population was 34,600 and there were only 49 sworn Police Officers.
The Edmond Kiwanis Club is planning Edmond's Second annual "Santa on a Fire Truck" toy collection for the HOPE Center. This year, Kiwanis plans to expand from three to six neighborhoods. Last year was a great success.
Edmond Kiwanis Member Charles Jorge from Oaktree Park Addition will again head up this project in partnership with Century 21 Goodyear Green, who own a 1950's era Fire Truck. Santa rides into the neighborhoods to visit younger residents. There is a special collection plan which collects toys for the Center and the kids.
