View Agenda for this Meeting

Grab your baskets, bags and boxes and make your way to the Iowa City Farmers Market to load up on local handcrafted, homemade and homegrown goods and produce. As in years past, Iowa City's Farmers Markets will be held on Wednesdays and Saturdays at Chauncey Swan Ramp, 405 E. Washington Street. This year, due to construction on the Chauncey building, Market Music and seating will be available to the east of the ramp and near City Hall.

The Iowa City Human Rights Commission will honor the following individuals and organizations during its 36th Annual Human Rights Awards Breakfast later this month:

Jesse Case: The Isabel Turner Award for working for the rights of individuals to get fair treatment.

Elizabeth Bernal: The Rick Graf Award for long-term commitment to a specific cause for the benefit of a specific group of persons.

Angie Jordan (South District Neighborhood Association): The Linda Severson Award for contributions to human rights by an individual in a service organization.

Trick-or-treat!

It's almost Halloween once again, so get the costumes in order and get those buckets ready for some serious candy. Soon, kids will set-off for Halloween fun in neighborhoods throughout the City of Iowa City.

To ensure there are only intentional scares, and everything goes smoothly during Trick-Or-Treat Night (5:30-8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 31, 2019), here are some important Halloween safety tips!

1. Costumes should be safe for walking.
2. Wear sturdy shoes.
3. Be visible; carry a flashlight or wear something lighted.
