In collaboration with Police Chief Justin Mayberry, I would like to clarify that the Weed Police Department remains open, despite the ongoing renovation and testing at City Hall. Because the department operates 24 hours a day, providing essential services including 911 dispatch, staffing is being managed to maintain complete continuity of service while keeping all city staff safe. It was my oversight not to include that in my public posts. For non-emergencies, you can reach the department at (530) 938-5000. As always, dial 9-1-1 for emergencies.
Hello everyone. Due to environmental testing at City Hall for the roofing project, we have decided to cancel this evening’s Public Hearing and Planning Commission meeting. The next Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for November 19, 2025, at 5:30 PM. Thank you for your understanding.
City Hall will be closed today from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm to provide lunch for the staff. We'll reopen at 12:30 pm. Thank you for your understanding.
With the increase in temperature, dead grass and hotter, drier conditions the Weed City Fire Department will be suspending burn permits for outdoor residential burning. We appreciate the communities work to create defensible space and clear your property of dead vegetation. Please continue to stay active in reducing your fire potential around your residence and staying fire safe. For additional information on how to create defensible space visit www.Readyforwildfire.org
The Weed City Fire Department will be suspending burn permits within the city of Weed on June 16th at 06:00 am.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community safe.
