Memorandum
TO: Mayor, City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Tracy Schaefer, Assistant to the City Administrator
SUBJECT: Operation Clean Up - Resolution of Appreciation
DATE: July 6, 2004
Introduction
City Council is asked to accept Resolution No. 6071, a Resolution of Appreciation to the
Shakopee Senior High Operation Clean Up for their downtown clean up services on
Saturday May 29, 2004.
Background
Shakopee Senior High Counselor, Paul Kelly, contacted me in May to find out how the
Senior High group, OPERATION CLEAN UP, could help the city. In an effort to
become more involved in the community and increase their peers' awareness of volunteer
opportunities, Shakopee Senior High's Diversity Groups founded OPERATION
CLEAN-UP, a new program that undertook its first challenge Saturday May 29th. The
group of Asian and Latino minority students and their advisor, Senior High Counselor
Paul Kelly, got together to clean the streets, sidewalks, and parking lots in Shakopee's
downtown (that's right, high school students on a SATURDAY morning!).
Counselor Paul Kelly and students Marco Risco, Doris Pedregura, Sergio Pedreguera,
Amy Chanthakhoun, Jim Revere, Alan Rojas, Kimheang Pao, Arturo Calleja, Isreal
Calleja, Gianina Rivera, Luz Pimentel, Olivia Sanaikone, Irene Viveros volunteered their
services to the city.
City staff provided the students with safety vests, garbage bags and the proper clean up
supplies and tools, but the students provide the human power behind this great project.
I would like to extend my gratitude to the students and Counselor Kelly for contacting the
city and their incredible clean up job for Shakopee's downtown. I hope that this can
become an annual tradition in Shakopee.
