As a member of the City’s P.A.C.E. program (Parks and Code Enforcement), Mr. Cicchelli volunteers with the Code Enforcement Division of the Community Development Department. One of his duties is to collect illegal signs that are littered throughout neighborhoods. Each week, he collects about 300 signs and in the three years he has volunteered, it’s estimated that Mr. Cicchelli has collected nearly 47,000 illegal signs posted in City right of ways, on trees, and utility poles throughout Corona. For his service, Mr. Cicchelli was recognized as an “Extraordinary Volunteer”.
