City Planning and Development Director Amanda Jarratt said the second Opportunity Clean Sweep campaign ended successfully.

"We feel like it was very successful," she said today. "We hope the citizens continue to work with us to keep the city clean."

Jarratt said the campaign is important because it calls attention to Chapter 96, the city's nuisance ordinance, attention that normally people don't think about.

The first letter campaign ended with 178 being sent, notifying residents of violations, according to information from the Public Works Department. There were 35 violation letters sent and 201 letters notifying residents they had either complied or were granted extensions to clean up nuisance violations.

Approximately 25 tons of material was picked up at a cost of more than $1,200, according to Public Works. There were 15 demolished outside storage sheds picked up and five were removed and demolished by the owner.

There are still 12 owners that have not complied, three who have been given extensions. Six are dilapidated out buildings which the city must remove and three deal with grass and weeds which will be taken care of in the spring.
