Officer Small reports code enforcement activity; proposes dual-use village truck with donated equipment
Summary
Officer Small reported two junk-car citations, multiple yard clean-up warnings and said the sheriff's office would donate a light bar, siren and control head if the village agrees to let the truck serve a dual police purpose during certain hours.
Officer Small delivered the law-enforcement report, saying enforcement actions included junk-car cleanup on Wall Street where "2 citations were issued for vehicles on Wall Street." He told trustees he has mailed six written yard-cleanup warnings with a July deadline and is holding unpaid-ticket letters until the clerk returns to work.
Officer Small asked the board to consider using the village truck as a dual-purpose police vehicle; he said the sheriff's office would donate a light bar, control head and sirens, and that the truck would generally be available between 4 p.m. and 6 a.m. Trustees discussed the request and possible use of a magnetic "Bloomington Police" sign for the vehicle at a later meeting.
