Keep Markesan Grand
A community effort ...
The committee was established to promote the aesthetic appeal of the City while maintaining a safe environment in the City. Core duties of the committee:
- Assess the Public and Private properties within the City of Markesan to ascertain whether they are being kept free from trash and refuse.
- Advocating for a high standard of community cleanliness, maintenance, and attractiveness.
- Encouraging and promoting partnership, participation and pride of residents in improving our community.
- Recommending to the City Council methods by which the City can improve public properties.
- Serving as a liaison and resource for residents, school, churches, businesses, organizations and city government to work cohesively to improve our community.
- Coordinating groups and individuals to connect with those in need of assistance with property maintenance tasks.
The committee has begun evaluating properties and public right of ways around the City and will continue to do so over the winter months. The focus of the committee will be properties and/or conditions that violate City ordinance(s). For properties where potential life safety concerns are identified, property owners will be notified sooner than later to establish a remediation process.
