The CPC is comprised of 15 representatives from various City departments, local non-profits, individuals and community groups. The activities of the CPC are focused in three primary areas: 1) monitoring/awareness/prevention, 2) clean-up, and 3) enforcement. The primary function of the CPC is to provide oversight, direction, leadership, resources and assistance to community groups and individuals while serving as the liaison between these groups and the appropriate City departments.
The CPC is expected to issue an annual report on its activities to the Mayor and City Council. In 2008 the first report was compiled establishing benchmarks in three primary areas thus initiating a process for us to follow henceforth.
