[RP TownTalk] *** PHISHING ***Re: Litter Pickup

[David Lingua]

Thank you CM Ebbeler for the deference, however the area, more likely, is a "part" of either ward 2 or ward 4. 
I use part generally, as the jurisdiction of the area described is under M-NCPPC. This is not to infer it is their issue to deal with, as the town does work with the commission on issues which affect the town. Last evening I discussed with Chief Morris the indigent population residing along the northeast branch. Chief Morris said he would bring the issue up later this week with Park Police Chief Brownlee. I have confidence in both departments working together to address this issue as they have to address others in the past. It would not surprise me to see other county departments / agencies become involved as well.

The indigents hang out there drinking, socializing, bathing, and washing their cloths.  I believe folks live there in the summer months because I've seen what appears to be tents and make shift shelters.

It does the entire town a disservice by not reporting code violations like debris/trash piling up in yards and businesses, peeling paint, illegal parking etc.  I have received a handful of emails in regards to some of these issues and the people coming forward almost seem reluctant or hesitant to say anything.  These are precisely the emails or calls I hope to receive more of since it escalates an issue that town staff or your elected representatives are often times totally unaware about.  The issues can usually be remediated very quickly when they are known – but they have to be known.  The best way to handle these issues is to address the email as follows:
