HomeMy WebLinkAbout31-Public Comment CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 7, 2008
GOOD AFTERNOON AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.
MY NAME IS TIERNEY HARRIS, RESIDENT OF LITTLE AFRICA.
LET'S CUT TO THE CHASE, AS I KNOW MY TIME IS LIMITED.
LET ME START WHERE I WAS CUT OFF ON DECEMBER 3, 2007.
NOT ONLY DOES SAN BERNARDINO WELCOME AND ALLOW
SLUMLORDS, THIS CITY NURTURES THEM. SLUM CONDITIONS
STILL EXIST ON THE PROPERTY WHERE I AM PRESENTLY
LOCATED.
I HAVE GIVEN ALL OF THE ASSISTANCE I CAN AND HAVE SEEN
NO POSITIVE RESULTS FOR ME. THIS IS MY 3' EXPERIENCE
WITH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPT. - TWO PERSONAL AND
ONE BUSINESS. SINCE THERE IS NO CODE ENFORCEMENT HOW
CAN THERE BE CODE COMPLIANCE?
PLEASE DON'T SEND OVER ONE OF THE FOLKS HERE IN A PUBLIC
DISPLAY OF CONCERN AND CARE, BECAUSE NOTHING IS EVER
FOLLOWED THROUGH ON.
BY TURNING YOUR BACK ON THE CITIZENS WHO PRESENT
THEMSELVES TO YOU GUYS IN CHARGE FOR HELP, THE CITY IS
JUST AS MUCH AT FAULT FOR THE DETERIORATED AND
DELAPIDATED CONDITIONS THAT EXIST, AND THE SUFFERING
THE FAMILIES MUST ENDURE AS THE SLUMLORDS WHO GET
PAID TO INFLICT SUCH HARM.
I WILL BE RELOCATING SOON, BUT NOT TO WORRY. . .. I WILL
CONTINUE TO BE THE THORN IN THIS CITY'S SIDE BECAUSE
THERE IS NO REASON PEOPLE SHOULD BE FORCED INTO LIVING
IN SQUALOR - IN THIS CENTURY. YOU ARE VIOLATING YOUR
OWN PROPERTY MAINTENANCE ORDINANCES. YOU HAVE BEEN
I ;111
NOTICED AND INFORMED - VERBALLY, IN WRITING AND BY
PHOTO EVIDENCE.
LET'S GET ON TO THE NEXT PHASE OF THIS PROJECT.
HAVE A PRODUCTIVE AND EXCITING NEW YEAR. ....
