HOA board meeting with Detective Stewart on 4/30/2024
Present: Scott Dastrup, Scott Ingham, Brent Anderson, Jean Stephenson along with Detective Marie Stewart
Special meeting scheduled with SLC detective Marie Stewart to increase communication with the city and the police department and find out what we can do as homeowners to help improve the neighborhood.
Detective Stewart is the community Liaison for Districts 3 and 4. She reported that homeless issues and drug use are a result of the cleanup of the Rio Grande District.
She reported that police patrols have increased. Two shifts of police are now assigned to our block. One shift is during the day and the other is 4pm to 2am. This later shift is a bike squad. Goal is to take out the drug dealers and these deals usually happen during daytime.
Biggest drawback is the court system, which allows those involved to get right back out on the street.
Salt Lake City police also have a homeless squad program. (HOST)

The city is looking at leasing the park strips in the front, which would make it easier to deal with some of the homeless issues. In the meantime, please call the Police non-emergency line if there are tents on the park strips. (801-799-3000)
Scott Dastrup is asking our lawyer to write a letter to the corporate landlord for the 7-11 asking them to take responsibility for cleaning up their property.
