Rob Evans, a resident of 22 Sun Street, told the council he has observed motorcycles and four-wheelers driving recklessly on Second Street and near a bridge at the bottom of a hill, and asked the city to address the problem.

Council members responded that residents should file incident reports with the police to create official records that justify increased patrols or detective assignments. A council member asked residents to call police when problems occur so the department can document incidents and consider additional enforcement. The council president also called for a committee meeting on Sept. 2 to follow up on neighborhood safety concerns.

Council speakers thanked responding city safety personnel for recent rapid responses to incidents and encouraged residents to continue reporting problems so the city can monitor trends and allocate resources.

Rob Evans and council members were the only speakers recorded on the topic during the public-comment and council-response portion of the meeting.
