We had another assault in front of our office yesterday and had to call 911. We are also
continuing to see vandalism and theft from our property. Is the city planning onaddressing the situation or are the local businesses/residents going to continue to shoulder the
problem? We have had to continue to spend time and money to deal with problems and secure our
property. We cannot use our property as we intended. We have to keep our doors lockedduring business hours. Anything we try to do outdoors here puts our employees in harm's way
and we are worried about them getting to and from their vehicles. If it is not bolted down orlocked up apparently it is fair game for the unwelcome residents to use or take.
I hope you are losing sleep over this because you will be to blame when something worse
happens here due to your inaction.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I understand there is a clean up effort in the works to try and provide some temporary reliefin what we deal with daily and that is very much appreciated! This will help but we also
need a long term solution to help people in need without relying on existing residents andbusinesses to be the front line. The clean up efforts are needed to get the streets back into
working order but it will also only chase people around and they will likely return or morepeople will show up if we don't find viable locations for people to park or live.
We would really like to see some law adjustments or longer term solutions put in place to
help keep our city to the standards that we all love.
Thank You!
