The City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), headed by Engr. Noel Hechanova, was directed by Mayor Jerry P. Treñas to start with the clean up operations, especially in areas that are being subjected to inspection.
The mayor, likewise, urged the support of the community in keeping their respective areas clean.
Among the sites to be inspected are the city hall building, public market, schools with botanical gardens, plazas, plant nursery, day care centers and slaughterhouse.
The documentation is slated this September while the inspection and evaluation will be held in October.
