Sweeting year. To the end of 1989 she handied 64 complaints. In a year Sweeting says the: percent’ — involved the ‘city is” Bylaws-and-the remainder were” primarily noise . complaints. Sweeting: reports no complaints - under the city’s No Smoking By- law. She says 58 percent. of the complaints. handled were viola- tions of the Nuisance Bylaw and many of these were a direct . result of her patrolling, every city street and most allies.

In addition to simple infractions, Sweeting says that with the cooperation of the Fire Department and Build- ing Inspector some structures have also. been. slated’ for destruction.or removal. . Another unsightly problem identified by Sweeting is rusting, derelict vehicles. She says many people park unused or unwanted - vehicles on their. property and - suggests that the city:.consider their removal during their next city-wide clean-up campaign. Back alleys are also a problem, - .says Sweeting. Many residents. use: them’ as disposal sites, and these eyesores could also become a clean-up target. One problem identified by Sweeting that will have to wait for the city’s updated Communi- ty Plan is a lack of conformity to zoning bylaws. One example is residential properties being used for commercial, purposes. “‘These irregularities distract * from the general beauty: of the ‘residential areas,’’ she says. . :One area of Sweeting's duties that didn’t work out to be quite as simple as it sounded, says city administrator Bob Hallsor, is enforcement of the city’s Street and Traffic Bylaws.
