City Manager/City Council Form of Government
The Vestavia Hills City Council commissioned a Study Committee to study the concept of converting the City's present Mayor/City Council form of government to a City Manager/Mayor/City Council form of government. Mr. Mark Hess, Chairman of the Study Committee, presented the Committee findings at the regular Council meeting of April 27, 2009. A copy of the report may be obtained by clicking the following link:

"Raking" A Difference
Great news! The athletic teams of Vestavia Hills High School are already "raking" a difference around the City. The players have been working after school raking yards and bagging leaves for senior citizens and disabled residents. (One yard required 160 bags!)
This means the special "Rake a Difference" day set for this Saturday will NOT be necessary. The athletic teams have committed to workon the yards for homeowners who have requested the service through next week.
If you would still like to volunteer as part of National Family Volunteer Day, please plan to help out a neighbor this Saturday. Leaf bags are available at City Hall.

Leaf Collection Changes and Guidelines
Effective Immediately
With this year’s fall season, change is in the air. Please know that effective immediately, all leaves prepared for collection must be bagged or containerized rather than raked to the streets.
This change is being implemented for many reasons:
• Accumulated loose leaves clog the storm water drain system and cause flooding and dangerous driving conditions.
• Blowing piles of leaves creates havoc and discontent on neighbors and their yards and public rights-of-way.
• Weekly collection of bagged/containerized leaves vs. once every five weeks for vacuum service (Nov–Mar only) is more convenient and will allow for more aesthetically pleasing, safe neighborhoods throughout the year.
• Vacuum leaf service is costly and less efficient while curbside bagged/containerized leaf service allows the City to maintain leaf collection at an economical cost with no fee increase to residents.
Guidelines:
• Place bagged or containerized leaves within four feet of the curb on your scheduled collection day (same as your garbage collection day).
• No single bag or container should exceed 50 lbs.
• There is no limit to the number of bags or containers you may place curbside for collection.
• All bags and containers should be placed curbside by 6:30 am on your collection day.
Thank you for your cooperation and transition to this new leaf collection system. Please know that this change has been made in the overall best financial, aesthetic and safety interests of our residents.
