                               our community events from April to August. As you look through our city
General Information            calendar, we have a lot of events planned for this year. But as you know,
                Pages 8 - 9    information remains fluid, and changes daily, so please stay updated by
                               visiting our website at www.florissantmo.com and all of our social media

                    Page 10    I hope everyone is well and doing the best you can under the
                               circumstances we all have faced this past year, and continue to face. We
Parks Amenities                have all had to make many adjustments to our everyday lives during these
                               pandemic times. Always remember that we are in this together, and as a
                    Page 11    community, we have always come together when it was most important.
Outdoor Aquatics               Economic Development continues to be strong in our city and we need to
              Pages 12 - 13    continue to support all of our small local businesses because they have been through some trying times.
                               Patronizing our small local businesses, will help them continue to be successful, and we need them to be
Indoor Aquatics                successful because they are the economic back bone of our community.
                    Page 14    I sincerely appreciate the cooperation and the patience of all our residents. We continue to be proactive
Health & Fitness               and take precautionary measures to help ensure the safety of our Florissant community and employees
                               while providing the highest level of city services.

Athletics                      area and will continue as more vaccines become available. As we all know, we have all faced some very
               Pages 16 - 18   unsettling and frustrating times. We are all in this together, and we all have a role to play. Mask up, wash
                               your hands, and and follow all the social distancing guidelines so that we can keep businesses open and
Special Programs               keep our community safe. The City of Florissant is here to support you throughout these difficult times
                               and will be doing everything possible to ensure the health and safety of our community. It is important
                    Page 19    that we remember our community’s values of being safe, inclusive, and welcoming.
Youth Camps                    If we all work together, the current mandates, that have been set forth by the County Executive, will
              Pages 20 - 21    hopefully soon be lifted with safety protocols in place, and we can all get back to enjoying our community
                               events that we have scheduled for this year.

                               Numerous street projects are still on course to be completed this year. Recently, the Lafayette Street and

Special Events                 safe as you drive through the work zones.
              Pages 23 - 25    As your Mayor, I promise to continue to put our great city and the people of our wonderful community
                               first. We are proud of our past and dedicated to continue to build strong relationships together to make

The first Inclusive Playground in North County is coming to the City of Florissant!
  The playground will be located in Manion Park here in Florissant. A St. Louis
County Municipal Park Grant will be funding a portion of the playground. However,
    the city is looking for additional funds to be donated towards the project.
                                                                                                                                 Robert Parson Jr.

  passed an ordinance to allow Accessible Play, Inc. the use of Manion Park as
   the site that would be known as Angie’s Playground. In 2017, the city began
  applying for St. Louis County Municipal Park grant to begin the process of turning Manion Park into a park that could          Tommy Siam
    accommodate an Inclusive Playground. Thus in 2018, a new enlarged parking area and water retention work was
    completed. In 2019, a new larger accessible restroom and seating areas were added. The city is now entering the
                                                                                                                                 Ward 9

 This Inclusive Playground will be for ALL children in Florissant and in North County a first of its kind in the area. It will   ward9@florissantmo.com

 established to recognize homeowners who take pride in the appearance of their home and community.

 In order to be eligible for the contest a home must be an owner-occupied single-family dwelling. Residents may
 nominate either their own home or other homes in the city. The judging criterion includes, but is not limited to,
 landscaping, attractive exterior, overall curb appeal, and maintenance of the property.

 One winner will be chosen from each of the city’s nine wards. The winners will receive recognition from the City
 Council, including a certificate of appreciation and a Beautiful Home yard sign. Previous winners must wait three
 (3) years before consideration for another award.

 Nominations must be submitted with a current photo and may be mailed, hand delivered to the Community

     Home Safety Tips For While You Are On Vacation
  With vacation season quickly approaching, the Florissant Police Department wishes to pass along a few tips to keep your home secure while you are on your trip:

  Don’t talk about it. Be cautious about who you tell about your trip. It is okay to tell a neighbor that you trust, but be careful about letting your whole neighborhood know that your
  house will be empty for an extended period of time. Also, don’t post comments of social networking sites that you are leaving for a trip, or post comments while you are on vacation.
  You never know who is seeing those comments, and you don’t want to advertise the fact that no one is at your house.

  Use timers. Hook up timers to lights, televisions, and radios, and adjust the timers to your normal routine. This will help hide the fact that no one is home.

  Lock up. Before leaving, make sure all of your doors, windows, garages, and sheds are secured.

  Remember your mail. It is a good idea to request the post office to hold your mail while you are on vacation. This can be done either thru their website, or you can fill out a form
  at your local post office. Another option is to ask a trusted neighbor to collect your mail and newspapers while you are away.

  Remember your answering machine and email. Don’t tip anyone off that you will not be home by creating a new outgoing message for your answering machine saying that
  you are on vacation. Also, be cautious on what you put in automatic reply email messages.

  Lock away your valuables. Keep valuables and important documents in a fire safe box or a safe deposit box. Also, it is always a good idea to record the serial and model
  numbers for your valuables so you can accurately report them missing if needed.

  Park a car in the driveway. Give your home an appearance that someone is living there by asking a trusted neighbor to park his or her car in your driveway while you are away.

  Outdoor lighting. Consider motion sensing lights on the outside of your house. Criminals typically do not want to be seen, so if a light comes on as they are walking around your
  house, it may prevent you from becoming a victim.

  Make notifications. If you have an alarm system, make sure that they know how to get ahold of you while you are away. This can also be said about the trusted neighbor who is
  picking up your newspapers and mail, and who is parking a car in your driveway.

  Complete a Vacation Check Form. The Florissant Police Department offers a free program to its residents where we check your house daily while you are on vacation. You
  can complete this form on our website at www.florissantmo.com/police or you can fill out a form at the Florissant Police Department.

  The Florissant Police Department wishes all of the residents of Florissant a safe and happy summer! For any questions, call Officer Steve Michael, the police department’s
  Community and Media Relations Officer, at 314-830-6042 or smichael@florissantmo.com.
