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.</div><div>-David</div><div><br>On Aug 27, 2013, at 8:43 AM, "Jonathan W.

Sometimes people need to be reminded what it means to be a good neighbor. 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.
