He noted that these included the <br /> following: <br /> 1. Street lights <br /> 2 . Licensing of Landlords <br /> 3. Requiring tenants to upkeep property <br /> 4. City-wide trash pickup <br /> 5. Law enforcement <br /> 6. Curbs and sidewalks improvements <br /> 7. Code Enforcement <br /> 8. Receivership program <br /> 9. Tree trimming <br /> 10. Restricted parking on such streets as Cushing. <br /> Mr. Oxian noted that in the area of law enforcement that <br /> improvements have been made. An officer now comes to each <br /> of the Near Northwest meetings, and there is a visible <br /> stepped up enforcement policy in the area. He noted, <br /> however, that speeding is still a problem especially on <br /> Lincolnway. He also noted that he believes that a Code <br /> Enforcement officer on weekends and evenings should be <br /> further discussed by the City. <br /> Council Member Duda stated that each of the ten concerns <br /> would be discussed with the committee. She stressed that <br /> input from the district council member as well as the at- <br /> large council members and the neighborhood committees should <br /> be ongoing, and would be continued on each of these items. <br /> Council Member Luecke stated that he believes that the <br /> overall list is complete and that he has been working with <br /> the Near Northwest Neighborhood group. He stated that <br /> special improvement districts have also been considered and <br /> that he is currently working with the Engineering Department <br />
