Residents should not push leaves, grass clippings, or other debris into City streets - it's bad for our lakes and it's against the law.

• MPD Citizens Academy (learn how the police department works)
• MFD CERT (learn how to respond in a natural disaster)
• and can even attend the RPOW (rental property owner workshop)
