<br /> gy-~ - "At the February 22, 1977 City Councili-~m~ting, the complaint from Mr. John F.
<br />Bailey concerniBg trash and garbage accumulating at West~rove Apartments was referred to the
<br />City M~ng~er for investigation and report back. The Public Health Department and the Public
<br />Works DePartment have contacted the owner as well as individual tenants over the past month
<br />or two. The owner and tenants have been instructed to place such items as mattresses, furni-
<br />ture, etc. at the curb for pick-up and not at the dumpster. The owner and tenants have been
<br />advised that durbside pick-up is on Wednesdays only.
<br />
<br /> A new dumpster container was placed at the apartment on March 3, 1977, and a site visit
<br /> on March 4, 1977 revealed that the premises were clean. The owner does employ a person
<br />(tenant in one of the apartments) part-time to clean-up the premises. The owner was.advised
<br /> that failure to keep the premises clean would result in court action. No court action waS
<br /> initiated because the owner did take steps toc~i.e, direction to maintenance man'and
<br /> request to tenants to place trash and ~ebris in proper places. The premises were cleaned.
<br /> The latest problem involved a mattress. Information provided me is that the mattmess was
<br /> placed at the curb once or twice, but was moved back onto the premises by several children
<br /> who used it to jump on.
