I have been a part of the CBD team since May, when I came on as a temp. during that time I pressure washed the gum off the sidewalks on Main Street and then particularly bad spots throughout the cbd. I maintained the roses and other flowers in the district, all the while, keeping the city as clean as I could. I worked independently much of the time, but was always ready to shift my focus to meet whatever challenges were assigned to me. Most recently I have been assigned to the Rapid Intervention Team, where I have, as part of a team, cleared many homeless camps. While performing this work I have strived to treat people with dignity and respect. As of Monday, Nov.13, I will be assigned to fill the position vacated in Beautification. I have done this job in the recent past, collecting the recyclables and maintaining the cleanliness of a large portion of the city. We keep the sidewalks clear of trash and other human waste, remove graffiti in a timely manner and report any problem areas in the city.
