Article by Bette Sharpe – Glendale Daily Planet
Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers gave his annual State of the City in front of the Glendale Chamber of Commence at the Renaissance Glendale Hotel and Spa. About 400 more local business and government leaders were in attendance.
Glendale has a “stable infrastructure” and the city’s economic growth looks more positive this year. The Glendale community works hard and plays hard to create and maintain a vibrant community.
“Economic growth and opportunity that comes with a vibrant community, is within Glendale’s reach.”
“I see these business owners as public servants with a stakes in the community just like myself. They bring us jobs, they bring us tax revenues, and their success is our success.” Mayor Jerry Weiers
The city worked hard and successfully hosted the Super Bowl at the beginning of February. It is estimated that over 100,000 fans and visitors attended festivities in Glendale’s Sports and Entertainment District. From Weiers’ address, “The Super Bowl is the only event that receives a National Department of Homeland Security special event assessment rating of 1. There is only one other type of event that receives a higher rating than that – a presidential visit.”
Mayor Weiers state of the city included several of his charitable funding events thought the past year. Some charitable initiatives included in the mayor’s State of the City address on Thursday, February 26, 2015 were: Stand up for Veterans raised scholarship funds, a Teddy Bear Toss at a Coyotes game collected bears for first responders who work with children facing a crisis and the Hometown Christmas Parade raised $10,000 for Hope for Hunger
Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers congratulates Mel Strahl on his service to the community. Mel Strahl was recognized as the 2015 Mayor’s Citizen of the Year at the 2015 State of the City Address and Annual Dinner. Mr. Strahl is being presented with a plaque and a challenge coin (for his distinguished community service) which is a Key to the City. The Event was hosted by the Glendale Chamber of Commerce and was held at the Renaissance Glendale Hotel & Spa.
In September of this past year, several families living in southwest Glendale were hit with unprecedented flooding. Mel Stralh, owner of Stralh Custom Homes, took immediate action to come to the aid of his neighbors. In an e-mail written to Councilman Chavira on September 14th, Glendale Fire Captain Mark Mann Described Mel’s Activities like this.
“He obtained water pumps the morning of the flooding and used his crews to start the process of pumping water from the basin. He did this out of his own pocket.
Yesterday he went to Home Depot and rented floor and carpet fans for the homeowners so they could start the drying process.
Today he showed up with one of his construction crews to start cutting drywall from the houses affected and then went to Home Depot and purchased 6 additional fans at a cost of over $900 because there were no rental fans available.
One of the homeowners asked what they owed his so far and he replied with, ’There is no charge’.”
When we asked his for further comment about Mel’s Activities Captain Mann Added:
“In addition…he also assisted with helping move 2 large homes and put their belongings into storage units.”
He did this with his truck and trailer and provided a large portion of the labor, both through workers, family and friends. For weeks he did what he could for them. At lunch, you guessed it – he would either order pizzas or have subs delivered to keep the volunteers fed.
When threatening weather was again coming in and the city was short on sandbags he called a local gravel company and had 25 tons of sand delivered and then went and purchased bags to fill all with his own money.
Then he organized a group of neighbors to fill and distribute the bags to the neighbors’ doorways to prevent any additional flooding.
Every time I turned around he was paying for something or donating labor to the cause.” (Source: printed text of mayor’s speech)

How cool is this? The Coyote’s Howler helps the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Commission sell boxes of special edition Cerreta’s chocolates at the Mayor’s State of the City Address on February 26, 2015.
Bette Sharpe/Glendale Daily Planet no. 2475.
Howler is joking around. He is not biting into the special edition boxes of Cerreta chocolates. The chocolates were $20.00 each, and the money went to MYAC Mayor’s Youth Advisory Commission). The special edition chocolates sold out in minutes!
