This post is in response to recent complaints from residents that received warnings for having their trash containers at the street too early or too late. I realize that trash was delayed due to the holiday, but residents are still responsible to follow the City code. Only warnings were issued and they serve as a reminder to follow the ordinance in the future. We do not want to issue citations and have not cited anyone for this in the past.
We have two school resource officers that have been tasked with addressing quality of life issues around the City. These issues include junk vehicles, trash, grass clippings in the street, etc. Many may think that these are petty issues but there are just as many residents that want them cleaned up. They were enacted by City Council to keep our City clean, safe and beautiful. Please do not demean or be critical of the individual officers for only doing what they were ordered to do. If you have a question or concern, please direct it to me. I would be happy to discuss it with you.
