Junction City Commissioner Mick McCallister has a suggestion for a biannual city-wide cleanup.

McCallister made the suggestion during a Junction City Commission budget work session. “Folks that have suggested during this budget time things to look at…one of the main things that people have asked about and talked about was a cleanup day in the fall and in the spring. It seems that there’s a lot of folks that would like to do their spring cleanup and get rid of stuff. And they don’t because they don’t have the capability of hauling it off.”

McCallister noted there are other communities that do spring and fall cleanups. “I think it’s something that we need to look at.”

Other suggestions from commissioners during the work session ranged from planning for a long term playground ( park ) on the west side of town to placement of no littering signs at city entrances.
