Committee From Chair Dave Jorgensen: We will be having the Public Safety Committee meeting on Thursday, June 4, at 7pm at the West End Community Center. We will be discussing car break-ins and thefts, as well as increased drug activity at Elizabeth Park and the impact this activity is having on the surrounding sectors. Please attend if you are interested in any of these issues or if you have anything else to be addressed. The purpose of the meeting is to get together to organize and brain storm ways to improve our community through beautification, such as planting of flowers & trees, placing of welcome signs at the neighborhood’s several entrances, improved cleaning efforts, code enforcement, etcetera. The main goal is to make the West End a more attractive and beautiful place to live, protect our investment and improve our community.
