He owns the lot at the corner of <br />Washington and Iowa near LaSalle Park. He stated that there is a <br />constant problem of people stopping their cars and littering on <br />his property. Mr. Williams advised that the Department of Code <br />Enforcement sent him a bill for cleaning up the property, which he <br />claims they did not do and he presented pictures to the Board. He <br />would like to request that No Parking and No Stopping signs be <br />placed so the Police Department could then enforce, possibly <br />helping the littering problem. Ms. Barnard advised that her <br />Department did pick up some litter, but it probably accumulated <br />again in a couple of days. She also stated that a property owner, <br />even of a vacant lot, has the responsibility of taking care of <br />their property. Mr. Williams said he would like to hire a couple <br />of kids to clean his property, but would like the City's help in <br />keeping some of the litter from getting there in the first place. <br />Mr. Leszczynski advised Mr. Williams that the Bureau of Traffic <br />and Lighting would look into the possibility of having No Parking <br />and No Stopping signs installed on Washington Street and he would <br />talk to the Police Department about enforcing no parking in the <br />alley. Mr. Leszczynski also advised him that he is still required <br />to clean his property and if he did not it would be cleaned by the <br />City again and he would get another bill. <br />
