Here are some recent questions and feedback:
Question: What is the City doing about the trash problem at properties? Rats are not cool.
Answer: The comment has been passed to the Code Enforcement Department. Rubbish and animal harborage (including rats) is a violation of the adopted International Property Maintenance Code which requires that the “Exterior property and premises shall be maintained in a clean, safe and sanitary condition” (Section 302.1) Section 302.5 specifically states that “structures and exterior property shall be kept free from rodent harborage and infestation” and Section 308.1 states that “exterior property and premises, and the interior of every structure, shall be free from any accumulation of rubbish or garbage.”
Question: When is the City going to put water back in the Mill Pond?
Answer: This is a project that has been prioritized and finally there is an update on how this can happen. The 501c3 Recreation Foundation applied for a Congressionally Directed Spending Request in 2023. As soon as the paperwork is completed at the federal level, the Rec Foundation and the City can move forward with plans to restore this important Caribou landmark. Stay tuned!
