josh and muleDowntown BID Maintenance Program Going Strong
 
Summer is in full swing and downtown has never looked better, thanks to the Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) maintenance program.  Over the years the BID maintenance program has grown to this year include one full-time and one part-time employee, Josh Minalga and Kyle Gallagher.

Josh Minalga can be seen all over downtown doing a variety
of projects to keep downtown clean and inviting.  Seven days a week from June through September, Josh and Kyle water the beautiful flower baskets and empty the trash receptacles.  Five days a week Josh is undertaking a multitude of additional tasks including:
  · Pick up garbage from storefronts, doorways and 
    sidewalks
  · Clean up Soroptomist Park and wipe down tables and  
    benches
  · Remove stickers and posters
  · Remove graffiti tags
Speaking of graffiti, in June and July alone, Josh vigilantly removed over 150 graffiti tags throughout the business improvement district.

In addition to all of these responsibilities, Josh also maintains the light pole banners, assists with DBA special events, takes care of Soroptomist Park, and waters trees.  The BID maintenance team utilizes the beloved Mule ATV and pick up truck to perform many of the day-to-day tasks.

The goal of the BID maintenance team is not only to keep downtown in top shape, but also to ambassadors.  They often can be seen advising visitors where to grab a bite to eat or how to find the library.
