Implementation:
The program will be administered by Code Enforcement, as they have the most contact
with residents as it relates to code compliance and city-wide beautification compliance
efforts. Applications for consideration should be completed and submitted to Code
Enforcement for review. Once the application is reviewed and approved, the paint can
be picked up by the resident at the City's Public Works Department. If the resident is not
able to pick up the paint due to extenuating circumstances, Public Works should be made
available to deliver the materials to the resident.
