Volunteers are referred to the City through this program only if they are required to do

provides over 1,500 hours of volunteer time, equating to over $16,000 in services to the city,
primarily in litter control at park sites. The volunteers that are referred are only those
individuals that are required to do community service as a result of committing non-violent
