Daddy Daughter Dance, first Adult Prom both sold-out events
Prescott Valley's Daddy-Daughter Dance has been a popular local event for years, and it was sold out again this year.

Town Parks are popular places for recreation after snowstorms
Bob Edwards, Viewpoint and Mountain Valley Parks were popular places after recent snowstorms for some sledding and other snow fun. Schools were out for a couple days and families took full advantage to spend the day with some quality time in the snow.
Streets crews meet challenges to clear roads after series of wind and snow storms
PV Streets crews met the challenge in late February when two snowstorms and a wind event that saw gusts of more than 50 mph created dangerous conditions. One storm brought rain, snow, and then a hard freeze overnight. Crews were out early laying cinders to make the morning commute safe. The next week, 5-6 inches of snow fell in a several-hour time frame. Crews plowed and re-plowed arterial streets during the storm, and then spent the next day clearing remaining snow.
Council directs staff to draft code change for chickens/rabbits
Town Council conducted a public hearing and discussion about allowing chickens and rabbits on residential lots during a regular meeting, and then directed staff to pursue possible amendments to the Town’s zoning code to allow the animals. Staff will draft changes to the code and return them to the Council for future consideration. Prescott Valley code currently does not allow chickens or rabbits on residential lots less than one acre. Earlier in February, the Town conducted a public survey regarding the question. The survey garnered 1,037 responses, with 73 percent in favor of allowing a limited number of chickens or rabbits on residential lots, and 27 percent opposed. Sixty-six percent of respondents agreed that the Town should prohibit roosters, with 34 percent saying roosters should be permitted. Thirtyseven percent of respondents said the number of chickens or rabbits should be limited to four to six; with 32 percent saying the allowed number should be 10 -12. Most respondents, 79 percent, agreed that the Town should adopt standards for sanitation and setbacks from a neighbors. A draft ordinance is expected to be retu Council in late March.
Public Works completes project to adjust 90 manholes Town-wide
Prescott Valley has completed work to bring manholes on community roads to pavement level. The project includes 90 manholes and 38 water valve cans (smaller manholes). This work was in response to citizens who expressed concerns that the manholes made for rough travel after streets were resurfaced, leaving the manholes lower than street level.
