City staff warn residents about paving scams and preview July 6 parade
Summary
Staff and officials warned about recurring door-to-door paving scams targeting seniors—one incident likely would have cost a homeowner more than $10,000—and reminded residents of the July 6 parade and other summer events.
City staff and elected officials used the June 24 meeting to remind residents about summer events and to warn about recurring scams. A staff member reported that "Irish paving fraud crews" have returned to the area and described multiple recent reports; staff intervened in one case and said they prevented a contractor from charging a homeowner roughly $10,000 for inadequate work.
Officials urged residents to be cautious when approached at their door, to ask for identification and to call the police to verify suspicious activity. Staff also promoted the July 6 parade (10:30 a.m.) and related events, encouraging residents to register and noting staging and volunteer support.
No council action was required; staff asked residents to call non-emergency police numbers if they suspect a scam.
