City’s home design award winners to be honored Thursday evening

The design awards program started in 1995 to recognize excellence and highlight design standards in the community.

A community celebration will be held on May 5 at Hampton Field to honor his 36 years working with Piedmont families.

Unlike the license plate readers, public safety cameras survey larger swaths of ground for whatever may happen within their view.

Council voted to spend up to $30,000 to hire Peckham and McKenney Inc. to recruit the successor to Benoit.

Benoit, who has been Piedmont's top manager for five years, will retire at the end of June.

Only trees that would be unavoidably impacted by demolition or construction for the new school buildings will be removed.

City says four Eucalyptus trees and one Monterey Pine pose significant fall risks, endangering public safety in the well-used park.

No one was hurt in the two-alarm fire just outside Piedmont.

Robberies also went up, but the city still ranks among the safest in the state.

Paul Benoit is most proud of helping bring good staff to the city -- people who are “good, smart and work as a team.”
