Summary
A Paradise resident urged the board to address abandoned vehicles in the county, saying removal is slow and the problem encourages further blight; the comment was recorded during the meeting's general‑public comment period.
During the general‑public comment period of the Paradise Town Advisory Board meeting on July 29, resident Derek Day urged the board to look for ways to accelerate removal of abandoned vehicles across the county.
"This is a problem all over the county," Day said, describing repeated abandoned vehicles in front of his apartment building and slow response times for removal. Day said he had reported the matter several times and that vehicles had been removed in batches over months but that at least one remained. He warned of a "broken‑window" effect if abandoned vehicles are not addressed.
Day asked the board whether the town could help the county clear abandoned vehicles or otherwise streamline reporting and enforcement. The advisory board did not take action on the public comment (no action or vote is permitted during the general‑public comment period), but the remark was entered into the record for follow‑up through the appropriate county code‑enforcement channels.
