Weed/graffiti code violation enforcement

It is that time of year again when the rain comes and the weeds and grass are growing like (excuse the pun) "weeds". Remember, if you are having problems with surrounding property owners in regards to property maintenance send me an e-mail so I can contact you to resolve the problems. Also, everyone knows since being on the council I have truly been combating graffiti in our district and the City. We have taken this unlawful attack on our community very seriously and have made great strides in eradicating it from Loves Park. As stated in previous publications I have pushed for stricter guidelines for removal along with better police and code enforcement cooperation to reduce and eliminate this here in our city. As long as we work together to identify these areas we can remove it quickly leaving the criminals no canvases for their work. This is the best solution other communities have found. The criminals’ goal is for the graffiti to stand for all to view so it becomes useless for them to paint property only to have it removed. Once again if you see graffiti here in Loves Park please notify either me directly or City Hall.

We have already had a bit around the city this year, but it has been removed and we will continue to do so with your help.
