City of Franklin Litter Prevention Strategy
body
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning a strategy to prevent litter.
Background
At the April 7, 2017 Sustainability Commission meeting, concerns were raised about the presence of litter throughout the community. Members of Board of Mayor and Aldermen have also raised concerns regarding litter in certain areas of the community. Since that time, City staff in conjunction with the Sustainability Commission, have developed a strategy to increase awareness and prevent roadside litter and construction related trash and debris. Several City departments have contributed to the creation of the strategy and will work together in the future to ensure its success.
Financial Impact
The financial impact is expected to be minimal and any costs associated with this effort can be absorbed within the existing budget.
Recommendation
rec
Staff recommends board members provide feedback and guidance on the proposed litter reduction strategy.
