Comment; Subject; The City of Clovis Community Clean-Up program.
Issue; I am requesting the City Of Clovis provide street sweeping services on private streets, where the City of Clovis conducts the Community Clcan-up program. The service would be for the day of the semi annual pick-up. Residents litter the street directly during a semi-annual clean-up. Street sweeping is part of the Clean-Up program process, and it should be same for private streets. How do I move that agenda forward?
