Teens are paid through a federal grant to work for local business or the city. Last year, I utilized 7 youth to clean, landscape and paint 4 parks in the 5th District.
This year a new group is attempting to tackle cleaning up the 44 alleys in the 5th district. One of my council staff supervises their work.
This is a great use of funds and a good work experience for these young people -- all of whom attend Long Beach high schools.
