Acting city manager Drew Hadfield said in a release that the top priority is public safety and staff are working diligently to get people home as soon as possible. At least 30 people remained out of their homes after two small slides last Tuesday on the hill behind the buildings. No one was hurt, but the mud and debris demolished a ground-level covered parking area behind one of the condo buildings.

Hadfield said he was happy to report the residents were able to return home over the weekend, and thanked them for their patience.Our in-depth journalism is possible thanks to the support of our subscribers.
