Adopt Fort Bragg City Council Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Agreements with the California Department of Transportation for the Fort Bragg Art and Recycle Beautification Project
Summary
Public Works Department staff are preparing an application for the Clean California Local Grant Program to support a City-wide beatification project to install new art wrapped or mural painted multi-purposed waste receptacles. This Fort Bragg Art and Recycle Beautification Project grant will provide funding for waste receptacle replacement throughout Fort Bragg in an effort to minimize the waste on our streets, in our storm drains, and on our beaches by strategically placing eye-catching waste bins throughout the city, replacing older waste bins, supporting a safer and healthier community, and encouraging recycling.
The Fort Bragg Art and Recycle Beautification Project will replace approximately 45 poorly designed and failing mixed-use receptacles located in the downtown area with new dual-purpose receptacles and provide 25 new dual-purpose receptacles for the local schools and parks. The primary goals of the project is to reduce the amount of waste and debris and beautify the public rights-of-way by emphasizing Arts as a means to connect residents and visitors to the natural surroundings of Fort Bragg.
