This grant will fund a youth litter patrol in Seward, and reimburse personnel expenses from the project. Youth workers shall be paid minimum wage, $7.75 and the adult crew leader will be paid $13.30 per hour. Applications for crew positions will remain open throughout the summer. We have also made our request again to the Kenai Peninsula Borough - Solid Waste Division asking a matching $2,500 for our litter patrol program, and/or other litter control or beautification projects. Last summer, the litter patrol consisted of adult leaders, help from a program supervisor from SeaView Community Services and a part-time crew of up to six youth workers. Usually a minimum three crew members worked four hours per day, five days per week from June through August. The litter crews cleaned the downtown area, the beach, the harbor plaza, city parks and streets, parking lots, playgrounds and the Highway out to the Chamber of Commerce building. When time allowed, they cleaned residential areas. Youth crew members must be ages 14 to 17, as defined in the ALPAR grant requirements. On April 28, ALPAR awarded the City of Seward the "2010 Outstanding Youth Litter Patrol Award. Sebastian Kratz from our 2010 crew accepted the award. The Parks & Recreation Department supplies the bags, gloves and safety vests, litter sticks and various other tools or supplies. Council action is required to accept these grants, appropriate the funds, and to accept the litter patrol budget. We plan to begin work June 1 and will finish as school begins in late August.
