Topics of Discussion included Code Compliance Issues ( see previous post). Roosevelt Williams III is our contact person with District 4/ City Council President, Anthony (Tony) Young. You can reach him at 619-236-7010 with questions, complaints or concerns. He told us that our entire district only has 2 designated Code Compliance Officers, so it is usually slow in responding. Having Roosevelt get involved will speed up the process, and he is great at following through.
Roosevelt mentioned that there is an initiative to revamp our curbs and street signs in the district. We need to let him know what we need- fresh paint on curbs and on the ground in front of stop signs, new signs, etc. He is working with the Street Director to improve our area. Please keep him informed. Gayle Reid, Emerald Hills Neighborhood Council President is also helping to compile the list of needs. You can email her at greid007@aol.com .
Our district is also getting large photo murals of students in graduation caps and gowns to help promote college and graduation for our diverse community.
Sheila, our local CNC (Coalition of Neighborhood Council's) rep noted noted that there are people living near the trolley tracks near Merlin and the Valencia Industrial Park. There's also quite a bit of trash there.
The graffiti near and on the concrete drain by the trolley tracks between the Encanto /62nd Street and Euclid Trolley stops have gotten much worse. In addition, the area heading up to Geneva from the Euclid Trolley Station has also gone downhill.
We're still looking for a responsible adult to take care of locking up the Emerald Hills Neighborhood Park each night, and reopening it in the morning. This would help us with the issues of late night potential crime/drugs/ prostitution that occurs there. Unfortunately, the RSVP (Retired Seniors Volunteer Police) does not have the people-power to do the job.
It was also noted that our park has been used as a really-long break spot for city employees. Please write down their vehicle numbers and department, and send it to Roosevelt. Our tax dollars should be spent on WORK, not laziness.
We had a teacher from Johnson School attend, with a request for awards for the Johnson School Safety Patrol. Roosevelt stated that he could help out in that.
Frustrations about illegal businesses on public and private properties was brought up by several members-
