III - ORDINANCE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS REPORT - JULY 2012Item III `' COST A MESA Q 09aZA ... an Independent SpeciafDistrict Memorandum To: Scott Carroll, General Manager From: Isidro Gallardo, Ordinance Enforcement Officer �A�a Date: August 7, 2012 Subject: Ordinance Enforcement Report — July 2012 This report summarizes major points for three ordinance enforcement topics covering Scavenging, Graffiti, and Trash Container Enforcement. Scavenging: In the month of July, there was one call to the District HQs to report scavenging activity. A resident living in the 200 Blk. of Virginia PI, called to report scavenging on his /her street. The offender was gone upon arrival but, I will continue to monitor the area in the future. In addition, there were several incidents I observed directly; the majority of the scavenging incidents listed below were not individuals who are trying to make a business from recycling materials. Attached are several pictures I took to help the Board get a better idea of the scavenging activity that is most common; people on foot, usually pushing a shopping cart, strollers, or riding a bicycle. After questioning the offender for several minutes, the information I gather from them is typically the same. They have no jobs or can't work, they tend to start scavenging early in the morning on trash days, and have no idea it is illegal in the city of Costa Mesa. Also, the majority of this activity takes place on the "Westside ". On streets (or alleys) like Avocado St, Charle St, Hamilton St, Wallace Ave, and Joann St (and surrounding streets). There were no citations issued in the month of July. Areas and times were scavenging was observed by the OEO: DATE TIME ADDRESSES Citation Issued 07/02/2012 06:35am 600 Blk of Joann St No 07:40am 2250 Blk of Miner St (alley) No Trotecting our community's heaCth andthe environment 6y providing sofidwaste andsewer coffection services. www. crosdca.gov Ordinance Enforcement Report August 7, 2012 Page 2 of 2 07/09/2012 06:45am 2000 Blk of Palace Ave No South of Wilson St. 08:15am 2000 Blk of Wallace Ave No 07/10/2012 08:30am 400 Blk of Magnolia St (alley) No 07/20/2012 08:20am 900 Blk of Mission Dr No 07/23/2012 07:20am 2100 Blk of Thurin Dr No 07:55am 2000 Blk of Rutgers Dr No 07/25/2012 07:00am 110 Blk of Lisa Ln No No Graffiti: CR &R maintenance staff has completed the removal of graffiti found on approximately 13 -15 trash bins on the 700 block of Scott PI (between Wallace Ave & Placentia Ave).
