Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: June 25, 2012
From: Karin Sturdy, Parks & Recreation Director
Through: Jim Hunt, City Manager
Agenda Item: ALPAR Litter Patrol Grant
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
Seward Parks and Recreation has again been awarded a grant from Alaskans for Litter Prevention and
Recycling ( "ALPAR "), in the amount of $2,500. 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. Due to
the Borough's fiscal year beginning July 1, we expect to receive funding after that time as we have
consistently for many years.
Last summer, the litter patrol consisted of adult leaders and a part-time crew of up to nine 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.
Council action is required to accept these grants, appropriate the funds, and to accept the litter patrol
budget. Work began June 4 and will finish as school begins in mid - August.
