DISCUSSION The Council Committee for Neighborhood Improvement/Code Enforcement (NICE) has met with staff to develop alternatives for improving the cleanliness of the City. The following is a proposal that the committee members (Councilmembers Bist and Christy) recommend for consideration by the City Council . Currently the City has limited resources available for removal of illegally dumped debris in alleys and parkways . The Maintenance Division has two part-time personnel to remove items from the 330 alley segments and parkway areas . Due to the volume of debris, the part-time crew is responding to requests for alley clean up on a first call, first served basis and is responding to an average of five calls per day. Waste Management and City staff developed and reviewed a number of alternatives . Based on the low cost of these alternatives, the Committee is recommending the following for implementation. Parkway Clean-up One Week Following Garage Sales • Garage sales are held on the first full weekend of the months of March, June, September and December. The next garage sale will be held on the weekend of September 7-8, 2002; added clean-up will occur the week of September 9-14th (Monday through Saturday) . Page 181 25 . 0 .
