SUBJECT:
Expanding Litter Collection Efforts in Hayward - Discussion and Direction to Staff
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council Sustainability Committee (CSC) reviews and comments on this report and provides direction to staff in determining areas outside of Downtown to conduct litter collection prior to the release of a request for proposals (RFP) for enhanced litter collection in Hayward
SUMMARY
The Strategic Roadmap for Fiscal Years 2024 to 2025+ includes the priority to Enhance Community Safety and Quality of Life, which lists Project NP2: 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 NP2. 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 to select two areas of the City that should be targeted for extra litter collection efforts from four areas identified by staff.
