Good morning, Goodyear.
Today during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, New Life Center – one of the largest domestic violence shelters – calls on the community to support survivors with both immediate shelter and long-term safety plans.
CEO Kate Thoene said the center will address physical, emotional, and financial abuse to help victims build lasting stability.
Goodyear city manager Wynette Reed will retire on March 6 in 2026 after a 39-year career in public service.
Officials will form a subcommittee — a national search will soon begin — to find her replacement.
The Goodyear Public Works Department was recognized with the Best Safety Innovation Award by SWANA for launching a pilot program that uses a thermal imaging system on trash trucks to alert drivers when temperatures reach 200°F—providing more time for safe load disposal.
The city will continue using the system and educating residents on proper battery disposal to reduce fire risks.
