HomeMy WebLinkAboutIR 9427INFORMAL REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS No. 9427
As a result of the new Public Education Coordinator, four new Nuisance Abatement Crewleaders
and the four new Code Enforcement Officers that were recently authorized, I can enthusiastically
inform you of a new city-wide project the Code Compliance Department is organizing. For the
past 26 years, the City has successfully organized the Cowtown Great American Cleanup each
spring. However, we've received feedback from residents and neighborhood groups requesting
that the City help facilitate cleanups on a more frequent basis.
The Fall Neighborhood Litter Stomp, set for Saturday, September 17, is the outcome of that need.
Code Compliance officers will be working with neighborhood associations to organize their clean-
up activities. While the Great American Cleanup primarily addresses clean-ups at parks,
greenbelts and school campuses, the Litter Stomp will be concentrating on neighborhoods.
The Litter Stomp is being held concurrently with the Fort Worth Trinity River Trash Bash • raise
awareness that litter in our neighborhoods ends up in our creeks and rivers. In addition, the Codt
Compliance Department, Waste Management, Inc., Transportation and Public Works Department
and the Trinity River Authority s and coordinating outreach and education
resources that will reduce costs and improve results.
In the coming weeks we will be advertising this new program and coordinating with
neighborhoods to get them ready! M
