Residents told to call police about overnight semi parking; mayor warns area could become a truck stop
Summary
Council members raised concerns about semi trucks parking overnight in vacant lots. The mayor advised residents to call the police and offered to coordinate with the department; he noted the area is not zoned for truck stops and continued parking could create further problems.
Residents asked about semis parking overnight in vacant lots near the Sportsplex and other areas. A council member said he had received multiple calls and asked about enforcement.
The mayor replied that residents should report parking to the police and offered a more immediate escalation: "why don't you call my office in the morning? We'll set something up with PD." He added a zoning observation: "that area is not zoned right," and warned that repeated overnight parking could escalate into an informal truck stop with attendant problems.
The exchange produced no formal motion or ordinance; it was a staff-direction-level discussion that resulted in the mayor offering to coordinate with the police department on enforcement steps and advising residents to report incidents to 911 with specific locations when they occur.
