This year's event will be held in room 151 of the Inter-Professional Education (IPE) building (more commonly known as the Dental School) on the campus of A.T. Still University. Candidates will be available to speak with the public at 5:30 pm, and the forum will begin at 6:00 pm.
City crews will begin picking up tree limbs and large brush on Monday, April 6, 2020.
Then, on Tuesday, April 7, 2020, citizens registered to vote will have the opportunity to select two individuals for the City Council. The candidates for City Council, in the order they will appear on the ballot, are: Rick Steele, Kevin A. Alm, Chuck Long, and Dana (Danny) McDowell .

Daylight Savings Time is almost here! On Sunday, March 8, 2020, 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
We 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, your family, and your home:
@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.
