RE: Library Park Neighborhood Updates
Purpose: This memo will provide a bi-monthly summary to strategies to
compassionately mange and address issues impacting the Library Park Neighborhood ,
including recent trends and communication efforts.
Updates from taskforce members:
Fort Collins Police Services receives regular reports about camping,
disturbances, and other criminal activity in the Library Park Neighborhood.
Officers respond and address the problems through verbal warnings, citations,
and arrests. The responding officers frequently find evidence of drug use and
suspects with arrest warrants. Officers provide extra patrolling in this area every
day to reduce disruptive behaviors and criminal activity.
Code Compliance has not issued citations in the neighborhood for rubbish or
other violations recently.
Social Sustainability has no updates to report.
Outreach Fort Collins (OFC) reports that engagement in Library Park
Neighborhood has seen a decrease since the opening of the shelter located at
1301 Blue Spruce Drive. The attached flyer is currently being distributed with
updated shelter information. Disruptive behaviors remain minimal. There have
been varying degrees of belongings and signs of camping (tarps, wiring, etc.) in
the neighborhood. OFC has not received a call for service or had to engage
Police Services in the area since the last update memo.
Please Note: The next scheduled memo will be in the January 21st Council
packet. If circumstances change an additional memo may be provided.
