AGENDA TITLE: Presentation of the Community Improvement Award
MEETING DATE: June 7, 2000
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Mayor present Darrell and Candice Drummond with the
Community Improvement Award to recognize the improvements that they
have made to the property located at 734 Virginia.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This is a property which was once a nuisance due to the unsightly
and overgrown yards filled with garbage, weeds and debris. There
was also an in -ground pool located in the rear yard that contained
stagnant water that presented not only a mosquito breeding ground,
but also a danger to children who could wander through deteriorated fencing. It should be noted that
this property is located directly across from Vinewood School, so the potential for victims of such an
attractive nuisance were plentiful.
The property has subsequently been bought and completely transformed from a distinct eyesore to one
of the best looking properties on that street.
For their efforts, Economic Development Coordinator Tony Goehring nominated this property and upon
review the Eastside Improvement Committee unanimously agreed that Mr. & Mrs. Drummond were
deserving of the Community Improvement Award.
