Badger Books have come to Glendale!

What is a Badger Book? It is an electronic poll book. They are used to check in voters, print voter numbers, enter registrations, and record absentee voters.

These electronic poll books work the same as paper poll books and registration forms. For instance, just as a voter would sign the paper poll book to get a voter number in order to get a ballot, the voter will sign the Badger Book. The election inspector will still look up the voters’ names in the poll book, voters will still sign the poll book, and voters will still get a voter number. The only difference is that all of this will be done electronically using the Badger Books.

The actual process of voting does not change at all. Voters still vote on paper ballots and still place those ballots in the tabulator. The tabulator is not connected to the Badger books in any way.

The Badger Books are not connected to the internet or to any other outside source. They are connected to a server through a router within each polling place that allows the books to talk to each other. They communicate only with each other.

The Badger Books will be used at City of Glendale polling places for the General Election. 

The City of Glendale will pick up leaves beginning mid October through November 2022 (contingent upon the weather) provided the following procedures are followed:

1. Leaves raked to the curb, gutter, and road shoulder areas by November 13th will be collected by the City of Glendale Department of Public Works. 

2. Leaves placed on the City right-of-ways for City pickup should be raked in long narrow piles that are within reach of the leaf vacuum tube. 

3. Piles should not extend into traffic lanes, thereby creating traffic hazards. 

4. Leaves should not be placed around obstacles such as mailbox posts, sign posts and light poles. 

5. Crews will not pick up leaves mixed with debris, logs, branches, rocks, plastic, metal or glass containers, or any other type of refuse. 

6. Leaves should not be placed on City cul-de-sacs, vacant land or City property except on the public right-of-way along the curb and gutter, and road shoulder areas. 

Roadways with Curbs and Gutters: 
Leaves should be placed on the pavement on the roadside of the curb. To prevent street flooding, do not place leaves on top of storm sewer grates. 

Roadways with Shoulders:
Leaves should be placed on the shoulder of the road and not extend into the roadway. 

Roadways with Ditches:
Leaves should be placed no farther than 4 feet from the edge of the pavement, but in no event shall they extend into the water flow line of the ditch. 

Alley Collection:
Leaf collection will not be made from "dead end" or "no outlet" alleys. 

WARNING: Drivers should be alert from children playing in leaf or brush piles. 

• Residents can place no more than three (3) cubic yards of Yard Waste at the curb for pick-up. The Yard Waste collection program is not a tree removal service. 
• All Yard Waste must be placed in sturdy paper bags suitable for containing Yard Waste or in other suitable containers clearly marked "YARD WASTE," excluding carts or plastic bags. The weight of each container must not exceed fifty (50) pounds. If Yard Waste is not placed in a suitable container, the branches shall be tied in a bundle weighing not more than fifty (50) pounds. 
• NO GRASS CLIPPINGS will be collected. Residents are encouraged to use mulching mowers or compost their own grass clippings. 
• YARD WASTE MIXED WITH TRASH WILL BE REJECTED. 
• The following materials WILL NOT be collected: stumps; root systems or parts of roots attached to brush; brush mixed with garden debris; brush generated from site clearing activities; materials resulting from tree pruning or removal at an address other than the collection point; and tree branches greater than 4" in diameter and 4' in length. 
• Yard Waste must be placed at the edge of the road, curb or alley (the same location as garbage pick-up) abutting your property only, not extending onto pavement. 
• Yard Waste collection ends the week of November 13, 2022, and will start again the week of March 27, 2023. All other times, during the year, yard waste may not be placed at the curb or in the City's right-of-way. Residents will need to make special arrangements for yard waste removal during these times. You may also store it on your property and out of public view until the regular collection schedule resumes. 

All property owners are reminded that Glendale City Ordinance requires all public sidewalks and curb ramps to be kept clear of snow and ice within 24 hours from the time snow ceases to accumulate. 

After each inclement weather event, the City will inspect all sidewalks and curb ramps to ensure they are safely passable. If a sidewalk or curb ramp is not safely passable, a notice may be posted or otherwise placed at the property indicating the need to comply with the snow and ice removal requirement within a specific time. 

Upon re-inspection, any sidewalk or curb ramp not properly cleared will be cleared by the City with all costs and expenses, including administrative fees and/or ice and salt/sand costs, charged to the property owner or manager as a special assessment. Residents are also asked to help keep area fire hydrants cleared of snow to allow easy access in case of a fire.
