City Scene March 2017 Spring cleaning: City tackles neighborhood eyesores Long-term efforts to clean up Marysville are moving into a new phase. Over the past few years the city has improved streetscapes and upgraded several parks including Ebey Waterfront Park, Comeford Park and neighborhood parks. With the help of the community, we’ve also made good progress on quickly cleaning up graffiti and improving neighborhoods with Community Beautification Grants. Next up is increased emphasis on code enforcement to respond to complaints of junk vehicles, excessive trash and similar neigh- borhood livability issues. Recognizing the need for additional focus, the Mayor and City Council added a new Code Enforce- ment officer in the 2017 budget. The unit now resides within the Police department. With this increased focus and resources, benefits over time will include better aesthetic appeal for residents and visitors, and increased property value for home and business owners. Mark your calendar for Shred-A-Thon in April On the home cleanup front, one of the most popular events is our annual Shred-A-Thon. This year it will be on Saturday, April 22 – that’s Earth Day! From 9 a.m. to noon that day, you can bring up to six boxes of paperwork to City Hall for shredding. Donations are accepted to help defray costs.
