Summary

Board members reported illegal dumping behind a liquor store and discussed signage and camera installation as deterrents. A bin-company manager (Greg Nester) agreed to provide a no-dumping sign and explore camera options; police noted enforcement is limited without signage or evidence.

The board reviewed a recurring illegal-dumping problem behind a liquor store property and discussed mitigation steps.

A board member said he found dumped furniture and that the property’s bin company manager, Greg Nester, had agreed to place a clear ‘no dumping’ sign and to explore purchasing a camera to deter future incidents. The manager said he would work out fees and recording arrangements and that he would try to install a camera to capture dumpers.

Board members and police-identified staff explained enforcement is difficult without signage or evidence; if a sign is posted and the police obtain video or witness evidence, they are more able to pursue charges. One board member said he could file reports and testify in court if needed to pursue repeat offenders.

The board considered but did not assign fines at the meeting; the immediate follow-up was installation of signage and exploring camera deployment to gather enforceable evidence.
