The recording of the Candidates’ Forum will then be made publicly available beginning March 17, 2021, on the City of Kirksville’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/kirksvillecity.
City crews will begin picking up tree limbs and large brush on Monday, April 5, 2021.

Daylight Savings Time is almost here! On Sunday, March 14, 2021, at 2:00 am, be sure to move your clock forward one hour to 3:00 am. When you do, be sure to also change the batteries in your smoke alarms! We would like to remind you that a smoke alarm with a dead or missing battery is the same as having no smoke alarm at all! Here are some tips to help ensure your smoke alarm protects you, your family, and your home:
Test your smoke alarm every month.

Change the smoke alarm battery when you change your clocks.

If your smoke alarm is 10 years old or older, replace it.
