The City occasionally receives requests from community groups who wish to
adopt" certain areas of beach and clean these areas on a regularly
scheduled basis. It is the City's intent to encourage such community
cooperation within the guidelines set forth below.

to the City ]Nana er. The letter should include a description of the
organization. The number of volunteers available to clean the area,
and the frequency with which they intend to work. The organization
may also include the particular area they wish to adopt; however,
the City ]Manager has the final approval on the designation of areas.
The organization may be a civic, service, homeowner, or community
organization; application by commercial entities will not be
approved.

collected litter and debris; however, the Department shall be
contacted in advance of the collection day to ensure the debris is
deposited in an area accessible to City collection vehicles. The
City will not provide tools such as rakes, cans, etc.
3. The organization must agree to pick up litter and debris from their
assigned section of beach at least quarterly, although more frequent
cleaning is encouraged.
4. The organization must agree to executing a hold harmless agreement
that would indemnify the City. Only volunteers from the organization

quarters in a calendar year, the organization's agreement may be
terminated for nonperformance.

efforts of each sponsor and report the results to the City ]Manager
for a decision on the continuation of a particular beach assignment.
