Journal. Mr. DeForest asked how often the alleys are swept and whether
there had been any changes. The Secretary would report back. Mr.
DeForest felt that alley sweeping should be regularly scheduled.
Mr. Nelsen suggested that the parking enforcement officers could be
used to enforce Chapter 10 of the Code along the alleys. A periodic
citation program with simplified procedures could reduce the trash and
weeds found along the alleys. The program should include enforcement
of required number of cans and that they be properly marked.
Mr. DeForest asked how many complaints are received regarding the
alleys and whether or not house numbers are required in the alleys.
The Secretary will obtain the information.
It was suggested that street sweeping be scheduled to coordinate with
trash pick up. It was also suggested that the trash collector could
