Congratulations to canine candidates Arlo and Hops! The election ended in a tie, and the Youth Advisory Board appointed both winners as co -mayors for a two-year term. Arlo is a Corgi who was rescued three years ago after being surrendered to a shelter from a bad situation that left him with some physical challenges. But that hasn't stopped him from spreading cheer everywhere! Hops is an amazing, partially -paralyzed 5-year-old terrier mix that was rescued after being hit bya car and scheduled to be euthanized. He is such a happy boy and an excellent representative for those who are differently abled. We're excited to have such PAW-sitive role models as our first Pet Mayors. Keep an eye out for Hops and Arlo around the City and leading the Pet Parade on Monday, Sept. 4. Thanks to all the pet candidates, voters, City Council, and everyone else who made this PAW-ssible! EQUITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION As we move into the summer, the City continues to focus on one of our core values: Respect. That means treating people with care and consideration, encouraging authenticity, and celebrating the differences which make our community a special place. In June, we'll again be celebrating Pride Month and honoring the contributions of our LGBTQ+ community members. We'll also be celebrating Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of slavery in 1865, on June 19. Come July, we'll be marking the 33rd anniversary of the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Finally, as the summer stretches into August, we'll again celebrate our community's rich Italian -American heritage.
