110952 - Robert Sieglaff, 914 West Third Street, stated that in his neighborhood and other
neighborhoods cars park between the curb and the sidewalk and by fire hydrants
and are not ticketed by the Police Department. Mr. Sieglaff feels that the
Police Department should ticket these vehicles because one-third of the fines go
to the schools. Mr. Sieglaff stated that it used to be that a police officer had
to be physically fit; if the officer is having a hard time getting behind the
steering wheel, he is not physically fit. Mr. Sieglaff reported that he does
feel police cars should be driven out of town.
