Arkansas River Advisory Committee

Committee members coordinate and assist with the Annual River Trash Round Up every May.

The Arkansas River Advisory Committee provides a two-way communication link to the diverse elements within the community and river basin; serves as a liaison to organizations or interest groups; assists in building a consensus for the various programs that will be initiated to reduce pollution in the river; assists in the review and implementation of a public education program; provides input on the development of a long range River improvement plan; examines issues relating to building partnerships with various stakeholders impacting the River Quality; identifies and evaluates Best Management Practices information; develops effective legislative support for Arkansas River initiatives; and performs in other advisory capacities.

In, 2000, the City Council created a River Advisory Committee and the City Manager formed a Technical Task Force to examine river issues from a technical perspective.

Committee members organize public education events such as the River Ambassadors program.
