This was reported many times. Start issuing stay away orders. These folks know exactly what they are doing. It's time to say no more.

I bike around the lake often and see the same 3-4 tents there. More garbage and trash is building up and they smoke and drink in the playground. I do not go to that playground anymore with my kids now. I just called non emergency police and they are sending an officer out there to talk to them.

The City need to aside a "Park" for people who want this life style and out of the parks the tax payers have had created. I f they want to enjoy the parks that fine but they cannot live there, litter there and defecate where please. Time to move on.

What is the city council members doing about this issue. Don't tell me they don't drive by these issues. It's the same places they've been told to leave over a dozen times before. GOOD GRIEF
