Beautification Committee Mission Statement
Purpose
The Beautification Committee serves as an advisory committee/focus group to City Council for the purpose of researching, developing, and proposing plans to improve the appearance of our City through creative initiatives. Representatives from various City staffs and the public meet periodically to make suggestions, brainstorm ideas, and promote follow-through. The Committee works with departments and the Arts Council, and utilizes various social media and the Roy City website to keep the public informed.
Goal
The goal of the committee is to promote beautification, cleanliness, and quality of life throughout the City, promote citizen – and city - involvement in beautification efforts, and to be an example to neighboring communities.
Roy City "Yard of the Month"
We are pleased to announce that the Roy City Council has approved a new awards program, proposed by the Beautification Committee: Roy City Yard of the Month
We want to celebrate examples of beautiful front yard landscaping throughout our town. The recently-approved Roy City General Plan identified 8 broad "neighborhoods" in the city, based largely upon when the area was developed, so there will be 8 winners each month. This year the judging will be done in early July, August, and September. Winners will be selected by the Mayor and Council as they explore assigned areas of our town, using the following criteria: use of plants/color, maintenance, water efficiency, and overall design.
Each winning front yard owner will receive a certificate to keep, and will be asked to display a sign in their yard for 30 days. The yards will be listed on the Roy City Facebook page and shared to relevant groups, featured in Roy Connection magazine, and possibly displayed permanently on the City website.
