t shall be unlawful
(a) Engage in public nudity;
(b) display pornographic material such that others are unwantingly exposed to the same or that minors are able to view the same;
(c) display the flesh of one’s rear-end, behind, or backside during stationary or movement within the city limits;
(d) wear pants, trousers, or shorts such that the known undergarments are intentional displayed/exposed to the public.
Law enforcement officers have been authorized to give a verbal warning to anyone’s first violation of the ordinance.
Upon a second violation of the “no sagging” law, the cops can issue a written warning and the offender’s name may be placed in a law enforcement registry.
If the violators still refuse to pull up their pants, they shall be issued a citation and a fine ranging from $100 to $600, as determined by a city judge.
There’s nothing cute or attractive about sagging britches in public. Now, it could be quite costly for those who refuse to obey the ordinance.I

I heard of a city in Arizona that has a program that puts their homeless work cleaning city owned lots and other jobs that don't take top priority and can be done by the homeless. they'd be paid either by the day or week and housed by the city until they can get back on their feet. By putting the homeless to work young and old & paying them for the work done they would have a sense of self worth, the old and young people that are homeless would be building a good work ethic and would feel good about themselves. There'd be weekly clinics to help with mental issues, alcohol and drug abuse. By doing this we would be helping the homeless to become productive members of society.

My fiance and I live on Monroe in Central Springfield just two blocks north of Oak Grove. Our neighbors and I have been bombarded with incessant train horns all throughout the day and night. I realize this is a safety feature, but when the horn is being blown every 15 seconds at 4am it's enough to give a woodpecker a headache. It's driving us all insane! Please do something.

Is there any way to be deputized as a fire marshal just to write the tickets on these people who illegally park in fire lane?

Instead of giving Greene County a million dollars a year for three years for a temporary jail, why not keep the money renovate an older building that has been abandoned by the railroad tracks in the downtown area and make a permanent Municipal Jail? No contract with Greene County. No headaches or arguments with the County about housing inmates. This would create much needed jobs.

Implement a program to reward good behavior in the community.
In Richmond, Canada, officers give out “positive tickets” to youth caught doing the right things, like crossing at a crosswalk, wearing a helmet when riding a bike, speaking respectfully, etc. They partner with local businesses so the positive tickets include coupons for free food, movies, or something fun, which not only provide a reward but also an alternative to hanging out on the streets and possibly getting into trouble.
If successful, a program like this could reduce youth-related calls, build relationships between the police department and our community, and give officers more reasons to smile while on duty. I hope that you find this idea worth researching further.

I passed two firetrucks this morning on my way to work and it was dawn, sun not completely up. I was blinded by this twirling light in the darkness. The car in front of me pulled over in a lot and I asked them if they were okay because they were weaving after the truck went by and he said that light on the front of the truck blinded me and I can't see my vision is blurry. This stupid light puts you in a trance and there is no where to look but straight into it. We have all gotten used to the bright LED lights they think they have to use but like the guy in front of me I just about went off the road after passing the firetruck. This is a major hazard for oncoming cars.
