1:37

Details can be found on the city's website.

1:40

I think the right term to search for is the talent bank application.

1:44

That should bring you to a form where you can submit your application for consideration.

2:04

Uh just one quick update.

2:06

Uh last month, uh, we had a policy discussion related to the opening of the new and expanded uh city brush site, which will be opening on Tuesday, April 7th, uh, next month, less than a month away.

2:19

Uh, in conjunction with all the work that's been going on to automate that site, uh staff's been working hard uh five days per week to get the system in place, and uh we will be making brush site permits available for sale to the public starting next Monday, March 16th, both here at City Hall as well as our uh public works facility over on Industrial Drive.

2:43

Residents interested in purchasing a brush site permit for 2026 will need to visit either City Hall or Public Works to obtain a key card which will provide automatic automated access to the site six days per week, except Mondays through early December.

3:01

In connection with this process, applicants and residents will need to complete a short enrollment form for the new system, which is available online and via cell phone or at City Hall or the public works facility.

3:15

We anticipate uh some lines for the next few days uh when we open up uh sales uh starting next Monday, and uh residents can certainly shorten their wait if they fill those forms out ahead of time.

3:28

It'll include uh an applicant's name, address, email address, and up to two license plate numbers that can use the key card per the policy approved by the common council last month.
