The Mayor and Common Council do hereby find and determine that in the area described in Subsection E, there is a concentration of multi family residential housing with an excessively high crime rate including robberies, shootings, murders, attempted murders, gang activity, and drug dealings, resulting in a higher than usual demand for police services, and a high concentration of blight, resulting in a higher than usual need for code enforcement, parking control, and other City services related to blight reduction. B. In the area described in Subsection E it is hereby determined that the excessive demand of City services is a cost that should not be borne by the general tax payers of the City, but should be the responsibility of those most directly involved who are responsible for the condition allowing such circumstances to exist and have the best opportunity to alleviate the problem. C. The Mayor and Common Council do hereby further find and determine that the existence of an effective homeowner's association tends to mitigate and reduce the existence of DAB/ses/Crime.ord March 12, 1991 1 ~/ o 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 / 28 o o - - o o the types of crime and blight described in subsection A due to being closer to the situation and directly involved with the people who are affected by the adverse affects of crime and blight, and are the recipients of improvements in such situations, and due to the fact that those who own or reside in residential property have a greater incentive to care for that property and to make it a safe environment in which to live.
