CITY OF DUBLIN
AGENDA STATEMENT
• Meeting Date: August 9, 1982
•
SUBJECT: Street Median and Parkway Litter Control
EXHIBITS ATTACHED: None
RECOMMENDATION: Consider
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Estimated annual cost - $2772 - $3696
Sufficient funds are included in the 1982-83 budget for
this program
DESCRIPTION: At its meeting of July 26, 1982, the City Council requested Staff
to' discuss with the street sweeping contractor the feasibility of cleaning litter
from parkways and street median areas. Staff and the sweeping contractor have
determined that there are certain problem areas in the City in which it would be
feasible to utilize the street sweeping equipment to clean up litter. Those areas
identified were:
1 . San Ramon Road - Freeway 580 to Amador Valley Blvd. (parkway and median)
2. Village Parkway - Amador Valley Blvd. to Kimball Ave. (parkway and median)
3. Amador Valley Blvd. - Village Parkway to Railroad Tracks (median and parkway
adjacent to fenced areas only)
It was determined that all other areas are either the responsibility of adjacent
commercial or residential property owners who should accept responsibility for
cleaning, or are areas inaccessible with the sweeping equipment. The contractor has
indicated that such 'cleanup could be accomplished in about 6-8 hours, and recommends
that the City consider cleanup once every month or less if the services are not
required that often. The cost of providing the service would be $38.44/hr or
$231 - $308 per cycle. This cleanup service would be provided on a non-sweeping day.
If the City Council determines that this is a desirable service, adequate funds are
budgeted in the Street Sweeping account to undertake this litter cleanup program.
