Volunteering

The Division of Community Maintenance is responsible for enforcing the zoning ordinance and other code sections which relate to the condition and maintenance of privately owned residential and commercial properties.  These include tall grass and weeds, trash and debris, rodent control, inoperable motor vehicles and others.  The Division also seeks to identify resources and volunteer services for homeowners in need of assistance to maintain their homes. The Community Maintenance Division also provides information and technical assistance to citizens and neighborhood groups interested in undertaking efforts to improve their community.



 Volunteers are essential to the success of the Community Maintenance Program. They assist with helping the elderly or disabled clean and maintain their homes.  Typical activities include:

 

• Yard cleaning such as cutting shrubs, raking leaves & cutting grass.
• Moving trash and debris to the curb for pickup during community cleanups.
• Painting, caulking and weatherproofing homes.
• Minor home repairs such as replacing exterior trim, fixing window screens and other light carpentry work.
