If
you find that a condition does not meet your expectations,
please complete a complaint form

matter and give feedback as to whether the activity or condition
complies with existing regulations. Your complaints are always
confidential.
Our mission is to make Riverbank a better place by maintaining
an environment that people are proud of and enjoy. Enforcing
rules and regulation may be comforting but it is not our prime
objective. Education and pro-active community involvement is the
key towards making Riverbank a great place for residents,
businesses and visitors.
Our guiding principles include:
- Pursuit of excellence
- Partnerships
- Integrity
- Customer service
The unique sense of place is a key
ingredient in the sense of pride evident in the community. This
in turn leads towards the increased property values found within
the community. The goal of this division is keeping Riverbank a
clean and beautiful place. Towards this goal, this division
plays a central role in the Anti-Graffiti educational
presentations, spring cleaning, as well as other functions.
