Trash/Li tter proj ect update
Court Services begain organizing and supervising Trash/Litter projects in 1988, The first
Trash/Litter project was held March of that year. Since that date, probationers working
under the supervision of Court Services Officers have removed trash and litter from
county roads, city streets and state highways.
The following information is from 1988 to the present:
. 248 projects have been held.
. 2,426 probationers have worked on these projects.
. 7,278 community service hours have been completed.
. In excess of 12,000 bags oftrash have been removed from streets and roadways.
Coordination with the City of Salina and Saline County has been excellent. The City of
Salina has been very suppOliive and helpful in canying out this service. The city
Manager's office has suPPOlied the projects by providing resources to continue them.
Probationers meet at the Salina Police Department parking lot on Saturday mornings,
where they are met by the supervising officers of the project. General Services
Supervisor, Duane Zook and his staff continue to be extremely helpful in identifying sites
to clean and providing supplies and trash removal after the projects.
Currently the projects have been limited to City of Salina streets. Probationers under the
supervision of Salina Municipal as well as District Court; work community service hours
in these projects.
The Court Services staff continues to do an excellent job of advising probationers of their
responsibility to complete community service Trash/Litter projects, keep probationers
infoDlled of the projects, verify attendance and monitor credit given for the DUI
offenders towards court ordered fines. The staff has responded well to the need to
supervise projects and helped insure the success of the program.
Through the years, Trash/Litter projects have been involved in assisting special
community interest projects. Special City projects as well as, Crisis Hotline, organizers
of the River Festival, Neighborhood Clean Up Campaign and Civil Air Patrol have all
been assisted by the Trash/Litter crews.
Cooperation between all agencies and community businesses have continued to be very
positive. Businesses approached to provide parking on Saturday moming have been very
willing to do so, and have been very appreciative of the Project's effort.
Trash/Litter projects continue to be successful in providing a scheduled opportunity to
complete the probationer's court ordered responsibilities for community service, and has
been a positive program for the comi in the community.
Respectfully submitted this 13th day of March, 2006.
