Action Requested
Staff is requesting that the City Council continue funding Clean-Up Weeks in the Spring and Fall along
with the Clean-Up Day at the end of April. This is a very successful program that residents look forward
to participating in each year. This year's Spring events experienced a significant increase in participation
from Spring 2006.
Staff expects that the reduced prices (as well as the beautiful weather on Saturday) kept participation
brisk. As a result, staff is recommending that prices be maintained at the spring rates for the Fall Clean-
Up Week (October 15'" -19'h) to be able to deliver the same level of service to the residents.
Background/Discussion
The following is a break down of the financials and materials collected from the City's Spring Clean-Up
day held on the last Saturday in April (April 28'h) at the Public Works Department and Clean-Up Week
(April 23 - 27) at the Elk River Landfill. These events served 395 households (105 during the week and
290 on Saturday).
