Citizen Questions Competence of City Administration

Another citizen, who asked that I not publish his name, emailed me with this complaint:

"I have been after Chuck Cornett to investigate and enforce the City Ordinance for illegal dumping at two residences on N. Inwood Drive (541 & 561) for over four weeks – not one thing has been done and none of my emails, which included photos of the debris, or phone calls have been acknowledged. Two Councilmen have been notified, Cal Kent, who is from my district, and Paul Farrell, at large member. Only Farrell responded to say I should contact Brandi Jones. This is an example of the lousy leadership and administration of our city. All it would take is a 30 minute commitment to inspect these situations, issue a citation to the respective property owners, collect the fines and publish this in the newspaper. There is no accountability and a total lack of intent to carry [out] their responsibilities."
