Staff will be presenting several interesting projects to City Council in the near future. Here are a few notable ones:

On a different note, it’s my pleasure to announce the appointment of the Glendale Police Department’s new Chief, Manuel Cid, and to welcome him to the Glendale family! Chief Cid is a widely respected leader in law enforcement and has a proven record of community-centric policing and progressive leadership that will guide and shape the future of the Glendale Police Department.
