Description

The Citizens’ Beautification Committee serves as an advisory body to the Mayor, City Council, City Manager, and other City officials in developing plans for projects involving City beautification.

The Citizens' Beautification Committee’s goal is to enhance the beautification efforts within the City of Bloomington on public and private property. The Committee encourages partnerships with local individuals or groups that have similar goals.

Annually, the Committee hosts the City’s Arbor Day Celebration. In addition, each summer the committee awards Beautification Awards to residential and non-residential property owners throughout the City.

The Committee consists of twelve (12) persons appointed by the Mayor with the consent of the City Council. Terms of members shall be three (3) years in duration on a staggered basis. A staff member serves as an advisor and a liaison for the City.

History

The Citizens' Beautification Committee was created by ordinance on April 23, 1973 (and amended on October 23, 1984), which indicated “it is in the best interest of all citizens of Bloomington to enhance the appearance of the City.” The Citizens' Beautification Committee was formed “as a reasonable means by which aesthetic improvements to the City may be facilitated.”
