Clean City Commission schedules adopt-a-highway cleanup, votes to partner with youth advisory group
Summary
The commission confirmed upcoming Adopt-a-Highway and recycling events on April 19, discussed future spring/fall cleanups, and approved a motion to collaborate with the Cayman (Kayak) Youth Advisory Committee on a fall cleanup.
The City of Kingman's Clean City Commission confirmed a busy events calendar and voted to pursue collaboration with the city's youth advisory group on a fall cleanup during its April 17 meeting.
Staff member Keelan reviewed upcoming events including an Adopt-a-Highway cleanup tied to United Way’s Day of Caring on Saturday, April 19; a Mohave Community College technology-recycling drive the same morning; and Mohave County’s free residential household hazardous-waste collection on Saturday, May 3. The Adopt-a-Highway pickup will begin at 8 a.m. at the Public Works facility, 3700 E. Andy Devine Avenue, and covers both sides of Andy Devine (Route 66) from Flying J to the public-works yard.
Why it matters: The scheduled events offer residents multiple ways to dispose of hazardous materials and recycle electronics while providing visible community cleanup activity tied to the commission's mission.
Commissioners discussed adding a second, fall cleanup to pair with Earth Day activity and suggested outreach to local schools. Commissioner discussion led to a formal motion to ask a commissioner to coordinate with the Cayman Youth Advisory Committee (referred to at the meeting as “Kayak”) to plan a possible fall cleanup. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with members saying “aye.”
Commissioners also agreed to staff-led promotion of First Fridays and other outreach opportunities, and discussed moving promotional materials to the public-works office so multiple volunteers can access them. The commission said it will finalize a fall cleanup date at its next regular meeting in July.
Votes at a glance: - Motion to approve collaboration with the Cayman Youth Advisory Committee (Kayak) for a fall cleanup: moved and seconded on April 17; approved by voice vote (all in favor, “Aye”). - Motion to approve the January 16, 2025 meeting minutes (recorded earlier in the meeting): moved, seconded, approved by voice vote.
Staff asked commissioners to identify additional events that would benefit from commission participation; commissioners volunteered for First Fridays promotional tables on a voluntary basis.
