SUMMARY
The Strategic Roadmap for Fiscal Years 2024 to 2025+ includes the priority to Enhance Community Safety and Quality of Life, which lists Project Q15: Expand litter collection services (like the Downtown Streets Team) to pick up litter through the City. The Council-adopted FY 2024 budget includes a one-time allocation of $100,000 from the General Fund to implement Project Q15. Staff recommends releasing an RFP for completion of Projects Q15 to ensure the project cost-effectively addresses the high-priority areas of the City. Staff is seeking input from the CSC regarding specific areas of the City that should be targeted for extra litter collection efforts.
