Cigarette Litter Prevention Program and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to accept $1,500.00 from Keep America Beautiful (KAB) for the Cigarette
Litter Prevention Program; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations up to
$1,500.00 in the Special Trust Fund subject to receipt of the funds.

Keep America Beautiful (KAB) will be selecting a limited number of communities to receive $1,500
donations and 1000 Pocket Ashtrays to support program implementation of a Cigarette Litter Prevention
Program (CLPP) that is being sponsored nationally by PhillipMorris USA.
Keep Fort Worth Beautiful, the City sponsored local KAB affiliate, has applied for this program and will
create a CLPP team with representatives from businesses, government, residents and other organizations
with a stake in this community improvement program.
Keep Fort Worth Beautiful commits to implement the four strategies for reducing cigarette butt litter:
• Reviewing local litter laws, including cigarette litter, and encourage enforcement;
• Educating the public using public services messages and advertising;
• Placing ash receptacles at "transition points," spots where smokers must stop smoking before
proceeding; and
• Distributing pocket ashtrays to adult smokers.
The CLPP Team will conduct two Cigarette Litter (CL) Scans (before and after program implementation) by
counting cigarette butts in an area downtown near municipal buildings and report the results online to KAB.
Results from the scans can help direct program resources and assess impact after start of a Cigarette Litter
Prevention Program.
If awarded, Keep Fort Worth Beautiful will utilize the $1500 for additional cigarette disposal containers and
education materials.
