Resident asks Auburn to review 'no dumping' signage near brewery ruins on Brewery Lane
Summary
Charlie Engen told the council five new 'no dumping' signs near the old brewery ruins appear disproportionate to observed conditions and asked staff to follow up; Mayor Kelly Davis asked staff to do so.
Charlie Engen, who identified himself as a resident who recently retired to Auburn, told the council that on March 3 he noticed five additional "no dumping" signs at the old factory/brewery ruins on Brewery Lane and that in four years of daily use he has not observed debris constituting illegal dumping.
"In these 4 years, I have never observed any debris or evidence that would suggest this area is experiencing a pattern of illegal dumping," Engen said, asking staff to evaluate whether the signage level is proportionate and to follow up with neighbors. He said he had shared photographs with staff and that a retired police officer maintains vegetation on the adjacent city land.
Mayor Kelly Davis asked staff to follow up on Engen's request. A council member also asked staff to ensure the resident who spoke receives a response.
No action was taken; staff committed to follow up with Engen and investigate whether the signage could be reduced or clarified.
