Please Keep Fire Hydrants Clear
The fire and public works departments are asking for your help. Please remember to shovel out around fire hydrants after each snowfall. It is very important for residents and business people to keep hydrants clear of snow and visible from the street. If the fire department has to spend time trying to find a fire hydrant under the snow, they lose precious time needed to fight fires. Please help us out by keeping your fire hydrants clear of snow. The house you help save may be your own.
Online Voter Registation Now Available
Minnesotans will now be able to apply online to register to vote, or update their existing registration, thanks to an application developed by the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State and accessed at mnvotes.org . The online process will deliver convenience to voters, reduce errors in voter rosters, and deliver significant cost- and time-savings for local election officials.
No Bike Collection
PLEASE NOTE: Bikes for Kids will not be collecting bikes at the monthly recycling dropoff day until April of 2014! See page 7 for more information on Blaine’s monthly recycling drop-off day.
