Officer Small reports enforcement activity; board discusses dual‑use village truck for policing
Summary
Officer Small reported junk vehicle citations, yard and sump pump warnings, sidewalk obstruction action, and proposed converting the village truck to a dual‑purpose police vehicle if donated equipment is accepted by the board.
Officer Small presented a routine enforcement report, saying two citations were issued for junk cars on Wall Street and six written yard‑cleanup warnings were mailed with July deadlines; he noted some warnings dated from the prior year. He said a homeowner on Canal Street agreed to stop blowing clippings onto the sidewalk after being contacted. "He stated that he will keep his sidewalk clean," Officer Small said.
Officer Small raised the possibility of using the village truck as a dual‑purpose police vehicle if the sheriff's office donates a light bar, control head and sirens; he noted updated emergency communications reduce the need for other electronics. He also asked about a Bloomington officer polo for clear identification; the board said it would consider vehicle signage and apparel at future meetings.
