FIVE THINGS: Council, Planning Commission to Hold Meetings

1-    City council will hold a work session tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Dogwood Room inside City Hall.

2-    The Planning Commission will hold a regular meeting at 7:45 p.m. inside City Hall in city council chambers.

3-    The City of Falls Church has waived fees for brush pick-up through Nov. 7. The city requests residents do the following to prepare both leaves and debris for collection: Place brush at the curb; do not obstruct the sidewalks or right-of-ways. Leave the gutter pan clear of all debris; Do not combine leaves and limbs. Rake or bag leaves independently from branches and other large yard debris; Cut large tree limbs into segments no longer than 5 feet; brush that exceeds this length requires additional manpower and resources. Smaller debris can be bundled or placed in brown, compostable yard-waste bags and Leave only vegetative matter for pick-up; this collection is exclusively for tree limbs and brush downed by Monday’s storm. Fee waivers do not apply to special trash collections

4-    Leaf collection continues in the City of Falls Church. Check here to see when it will happen in your neighborhood.

5-    If you are celebrating a birthday on Nov. 5, you share it with cowboy actor Roy Rogers, NBA Hall of Fame player Bill Walton and singer Art Garfunkel. Happy birthday!
