Candidates will be available to speak with the public at 5:30 pm, and the forum will begin at 6:00 pm. Then, on Tuesday, April 2, 2019, citizens registered to vote will have the opportunity to select up to three individuals for the City Council.

Daylight Savings Time is almost here! On Sunday, March 10, 2019, at 2:00 am, be sure to move your clock forward one hour to 3:00 am. When you do, be sure to also change the batteries in your smoke alarms!
@kirksvillecity
The Fire Department would like to remind you that a smoke alarm with a dead or missing battery is the same as having no smoke alarm at all! Here are some tips to help ensure your smoke alarm protects you and your family:
@kirksvilleparks
Test your smoke alarm every month.
@kirksvillePD
Change the smoke alarm battery when you change your clocks.

If your smoke alarm is 10 years old or older, replace it.
