THOUSAND OAKS : Funds OKd for ‘City Beautiful’ Contest
Thousand Oaks will hold its second annual City Beautiful competition this spring to recognize residents’ efforts to spruce up their properties, Councilman Frank Schillo has announced.
The City Council on Tuesday allocated $4,500 to fund the awards program, which offers prizes in 12 categories, including most environmentally sensitive landscaping, most improved exterior and best mini-mall. Homeowners can also win for creative design and good upkeep of their houses, condominiums or apartments.
Entry forms will be available at City Hall starting Monday. The application deadline is April 1. Judges--including representatives of garden clubs, homeowner associations and the Thousand Oaks Arts Commission--will prowl the streets throughout April, scrutinizing entries from the curb.
Aside from sponsoring the contest, the city will encourage the Chamber of Commerce to hold a home and garden show, Schillo said.
For more information, call the city manager’s office at 496-8601.
