Background Information: There have been multiple complaints over the last 30 days from downtown merchants regarding a rising amount of homeless persons in the area and park. The merchants are complaining about their customers being accosted by constant panhandling, coming to their business to find persons camping in front of their business, having to clean up refuse and feces, as well as them using the park fountain to bathe. You look at the call records for the last 60 days and note a significant increase in calls to the area by merchants as well as the park regarding open drinking, parents complaining about the constant cursing, calls regarding physical disturbances, and several people being transported for drug overdoses. They have not come to the city commission meeting voicing their concerns to the mayor and commissioners and demanding that action be taken. The following map will give you an aerial view of the downtown area. The blue dots in the map indicate a call for service in the last 30 days, the red dots indicate an arrest for either panhandling or open container violation, and the orange dots represent where the drug overdoses have occurred.
