Here is the May 2026 Boards & Commissions meeting schedule. Please note that the Recreation Committee meeting scheduled for May 7 and the Planning Commission meeting scheduled for May 20 have both been canceled due to a lack of agenda items.

With spring underway, we’re seeing some promising changes in our resident eagle pair. They’ve been spending more time at the nest, reaching in as if feeding and actively rearranging materials, behaviors that can signal nesting season and the possibility of eggs hatching.

While we don’t have confirmation yet, this is an exciting time. In our region, eaglets typically hatch between late March and mid-summer, depending on when eggs are laid, and both parents share incubation duties.

As you watch and enjoy, please remember to keep a respectful distance, avoid loud disturbances, and never approach or feed the eagles. These small actions help give them the best chance for success.

Park improvements are underway at Rycenga Park! Our Public Works crew has been woodchipping and cleaning up the area as part of early preparation for upcoming court improvements, including pickleball and basketball. Thank you for your patience as we prepare this space for even more recreational opportunities!

Due to a lack of quorum, the Corridor Improvement Authority meeting at Barber School has been cancelled today.
