A resident who identified himself as Mr. Mange asked the committee for help with standing water and garbage in the alley behind the 11th Street houses, saying the puddles are producing mosquitoes that can transmit diseases such as dengue and malaria. "I request you to help," the resident said, providing his contact information to staff.
