This program is intended for organizations or
individuals that want to participate on a more regular basis to monitor and maintain a specific street or area of the city.

Organizations sign up to clean a specific
area of the city at least four (4) times per year.
Adopted areas must be ½ a mile long or more. As part of the program, the city will provide a one-time training, cleanup supplies and help with coordinating trash pickup.

1. Application Process.The organization shall identify a representative(s) to serve as the primary contact person who will meet with Public Works and a Housing and Economic Development (HEDD) representative to review program requirements and identify the area(s) that the group would like to adopt. Provide Commercial General Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate covering all bodily injury and property damage arising out of its members’/employees’ participation in the program. The organization will complete the “Adopt-a-Place Application” (A) the “Adopt-a-Place Agreement”, (B) and the “Adopt-a-Place Indemnity Form – Group/Organization Form”, (C) review "Safety Guidelines", (E) Complete "Signage Recognition" form, (F) and identify an area no less than 1/2 a mile long from the "Preferred Areas" list, (H) Organizations will be recognized via their name/logo on the permanent sign or banner for participation in the “Adopt-a-Place” program within thirty (30) days after the first cleanup and submitting their “Event Summary”.

2. Collection Schedule.The participant will
provide the City with dates that litter collections will be held in order to track progress. Although litter collection is normally done away from traffic, advanced notification will allow the City to alert police and other City officials about the activity.

3. Supplies.Participants will receive a cleanup kit that includes safety vests, a broom, shovel bags, gloves, dustpan, bucket and a litter grabber. Since this is an ongoing effort, the organization is encouraged to reuse gloves and vests as much as possible.

4. Disposal of Litter.The City will identify with the organization specific locations where bagged litter will be placed for the City to promptly collect and dispose of after each collection event. Alternatively, the organization may arrange for small amounts of bagged litter to be set out for collection through the City’s weekly residential trash collection program or at the organization or
participant’s place of business.

5. Work Safely.Participants must follow the
guidelines listed on the “Adopt-a-Place Safety Guidelines” (E). The work of volunteers should be a positive experience, but dealing with trash and litter in public areas has risks. Since the safety of volunteers is crucial, the City urges participants to use common sense and care
when participating in the “Adopt-a-Place”
program.

6. Report Results.
Reporting volunteer hours and the amount of material collected is a key part of measuring success. Organizations should complete and submit the “Adopt-a-Place Event Summary” (G) after each event.

7. Leadership Changes & Discontinue Adoption. The primary contact person must notify the City and update records if there is a leadership change. If the organization desires to discontinue the adoption, the primary contact person should notify representative from Housing and Economic Development and the agreement will
be terminated
