FINE increase and HIRING more enforcement officers good. Let us not pretend we don't have major littering issues, or the fact that these issues bring a large amount of disrespect, or disregard to community or has a factor in playing a role to crime. How is it that other cities don't have the same issues? Because what we don't enforce leaves community vulnerable in areas we know this city cannot afford. I 100 percent support officers. I 100 percent believe in parks, and recreation positive protective factors.  They play major roles in safe, strong community. Yet we are less than diligent in our works to assure clean, safe community. The fact we expect officers to be everywhere, do everything is unfair. The fact people punish them for the lack of our due diligence is unfair. My suggestion is for improvement in both areas. Allowing park systems to enforce tickets is good. Many council members NOT Dana voted to sell parks to development at tax exempt. We need to focus now on solid solution
