Chief Briefs #5
With the Blight season upon us, the City Manager, Kate, and I would like to thank those that have taken pride in cleaning up their property of any unwanted junk or garbage. We appreciate your individual effort in making Iron River cleaner.
In the past two weeks I have had been threatened, I have had a State Representative call me, and someone that wanted to file a complaint on me, all because we have asked people, respectfully to clean up their property. We have knocked on doors, sent letters, left door hangers, made phone calls, and unfortunately have written warning citations. We have done all this respectfully. We have asked people in the city for compliance versus writing citations. Yet, the handful of people, adults, who decide to threaten me or file a complaint because they are asked to clean up their yards is baffling.
We will not stop enforcing the Blight ordinance. The good people living in Iron River deserve to live in a clean community. The quality people are not the people who are complaining, they just clean their property because they are adults.
We continue to ask for all homeowners and business owners to walk around your property and clean up your unwanted garbage or junk.
Thank you for your help!
Chief Curt T. Harrington
