The City of Lacey held its latest meeting on July 4, 2025, focusing on community engagement and essential updates for residents. The primary agenda item was the final phase of the 2025 comprehensive plan update, which serves as a 20-year roadmap for the city's growth, development, and public investment. Residents are encouraged to provide input on the draft goals and policies until July 30, emphasizing the importance of community participation in shaping Lacey's future.
In addition to the comprehensive plan discussions, the meeting highlighted an upcoming event: the Lacey Museum's "Great Lacey Adventure" scavenger hunt scheduled for Saturday, July 19, from 10 AM to noon. Participants will start from the Lacey City Hall community room and explore significant sites throughout the city while learning to navigate using Google or Apple Maps. Teams of six or fewer are encouraged to register for this engaging community activity.
The meeting also addressed the ongoing mandatory watering schedule due to the hot weather, which will remain in effect until September 30. Residents with odd-numbered addresses are assigned watering days on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, while those with even-numbered addresses will water on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Fridays are designated as no-watering days to allow city reservoirs to replenish. This schedule aims to manage water demand and keep costs down during the summer months, with exemptions available for certain cases.
Overall, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to community involvement and resource management, inviting residents to actively participate in shaping Lacey's future while adhering to essential water conservation practices.
