Council OKs $6,000 anti-litter campaign transfer, police to lead school outreach
Summary
Henderson Council approved a $6,000 transfer of federal forfeiture funds to support an anti-litter campaign tied to a community task force; Police Chief Marcus Barrow will lead school-based outreach and coordinate with the city’s upcoming Spring CommUNITY Cleanup.
The council approved Ordinance 24-09 to transfer $6,000 of Federal Asset Forfeiture funds to an account designated for an Anti-Litter Campaign. City Manager Edward T. Blackmon said the campaign is part of Representative Frank Sossamon’s Community Development Task Force and that Police Chief Marcus Barrow agreed to lead the effort.
Chief Barrow said the campaign will include school engagement to develop slogans and signage and to make students role models for litter-free behavior; the city’s Spring CommUNITY Cleanup event is scheduled for April 26 and the campaign timing supports that event. Councilmember Sara Coffey noted local real-estate companies expressed willingness to assist. The ordinance passed unanimously.
The transfer funds community outreach and campaign materials; details on specific vendors or contracts were not provided in the transcript.
