SUBJECT: CO)MMITY GROUPS AND LITTER CONTROL ON COUNTY ROADS:
ADOPT-A-ROAD OR PARK PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKOROUNO AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Request the Environmental Affairs
Committee, in consultation with the Public Works Department, to
consider establishing an "Adopt-A-Road" Program and an "Adopt-A-Park"
Program whereby community groups may volunteer to carry out litter
control along specified county roads and in particular neighborhood
parks and the county would post signs acknowledging the community
groups .
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:- A community leader, Ms. Fran Jommen
of the Contra Costa YWCA, recently inquired about the feasibility of
establishing an "adopt-a-road" program so that community groups could-
volunteer to assist the county in litter control and in exchange be
acknowledged by the county posting signs. Similar programs have been
developed for allowing community groups to adopt a park or favorite
landscape median strip. These kinds of programs could stimulate
community pride and accomplish a great deal of beautification and
maintenance work that otherwise could not get done as regularly as we
would all like. Donations of trees or other park equipment can also
be recognized by special plague or sign.
