This effort would allow youth to be a <br /> part of cleanups and beautification with payment such as incorporated into the leaf raking <br /> project. <br /> In order to secure funding, there must be an active Keep America Beautiful Chapter. The <br /> attached resolution / agreement gives the mayor authority to sign in order that the transfer of the <br /> former Keep Decatur Macon County Beautiful to Decatur Community Partnerships and its <br /> environmental management team can occur. Representatives from the former Keep Decatur <br /> Macon County Beautiful organization are on the new team. <br /> Linda Kehart of Decatur Community Partnerships will be available Monday evening to <br /> answer any questions. <br /> Attachment <br />
