New Bancroft resident asks about police citations, sidewalks and mailboxes; council explains part-time policing limits
Summary
New resident Mike Ragon asked why there were only six police citations, who must repair sidewalks, whether he could trim trees and why residents do not have mailboxes; Chair Brian Barnum replied that officers are part-time and limited to 30 hours per week and answered the other questions.
During the public comment period of the Sept. 11 meeting, new resident Mike Ragon asked several procedural questions about local services.
Ragon asked why there had been only six police citations. Chair Brian Barnum responded that the village’s police officers are part-time and are allowed up to 30 hours per week, which he cited as context for citation counts. Ragon also asked whose responsibility it is to repair sidewalks, whether residents have the right to trim trees, and why residents do not have mailboxes; Barnum addressed these questions during the comment period, according to the minutes.
The minutes record that Officer Mark Schmitzer presented the police report earlier in the meeting but do not include details of that report. The council did not take further formal action during the public comment period.
