Councillor Lindsay Clark, who was at his first police board meeting, said one of the problems he has seen has been with vacant houses, and unoccupied homes become an issue again now that winter is here. “There’s nobody looking after them,” said Clark. “It just seems to be something that’s coming up with the snow, because you don’t notice until the snow comes, and then you see nobody has touched that house for quite a while. I think we are going to have some issues with that, especially when we have more snow come.” Councillor Shelly Veroba, also participating in her first police board meeting, noted there are areas in the city where one person goes down the block and removes the snow from the sidewalks. Other blocks, including some on Fourth Street, can be daunting to walk on, she said, because snow hasn’t been cleared.
