Resident raises concerns about activity at 608 Garfield; council to review
Summary
At the April 21 meeting, resident Drew Cushing said 608 Garfield houses several cats and a Fifth Wheel trailer with heavy traffic he described as possible drug activity; Mayor DeVere directed Clerk Luanne to place the item on an upcoming agenda for follow-up.
During public comment on April 21, resident Drew Cushing of 713 Garfield asked the council to investigate conditions at 608 Garfield, saying the property has several cats and that frequent traffic to a Fifth Wheel trailer suggested possible drug dealing. The minutes record Cushing's concern and the mayor's direction to place the matter on a future agenda.
The council did not take immediate enforcement action at the meeting but discussed authority to clear debris from town right-of-way. Council member Sandretto asked whether the town could remove garbage from the alley behind 608 Washington if the owner did not clear it; Town Attorney Jeff Slothower said the town may haul away material that is clearly garbage from the town right-of-way. The minutes list an ongoing Notice and Order to Correct Violation related to 608 Washington (Adcox) under unfinished business.
The council instructed staff to follow up by placing the complaint on an upcoming agenda, where options for code enforcement and right-of-way cleanup can be addressed.
