The first “Operation Clean Sweep” for 2012 will begin on Monday, May 7,
targeting the Whittington Valley neighborhood, where there are approximately 300
structures. Operation Clean Sweep is the city’s three-week, multi-departmental,
concentrated cleanup effort in the target area.
Week One - Beginning Monday, May 7, two-person teams from the Planning
Department’s Neighborhood Services Division will distribute information packets
door-to-door. The packets contain important information concerning various city
services offered during and after Operation Clean Sweep. The packets will also
include a violation notice for properties identified as violating the city’s
property maintenance ordinance.
Week Two - Beginning Monday, May 14, the Sanitation
Department’s CAPS (Clean, Attractive Property Service) trucks will visit the
neighborhood daily, collecting items placed curbside by residents. The city
street sweeper will travel through the area, and Alternative Service workers
from Hot Springs District Court will augment the cleanup efforts.
Week Three – Beginning Monday, May 21,
Neighborhood Services inspectors will follow up on the violation notices issued
during the first week and address any remaining violations. The Police
Department will provide additional neighborhood patrols, targeting drug
activity. Fire Department personnel will address fire safety concerns identified
during the sweep. Animal Services will assist with any animal issues arising
from door-to-door visits and inspections.
