Super Neighborhood Alliance members raised three enforcement and public‑safety concerns at the meeting: uneven solid‑waste service and illegal dumping, whether the city’s threshold for opening warming centers should be raised after several cold‑weather deaths, and proposed legislation to authorize constables to enforce municipal ordinances.

Multiple residents described heavy trash and illegal dumping in medians and vacant lots and said 311 complaints are sometimes closed without visible action. Council Member Sally Alcorn said the city has hired private contractors to reduce the backlog and that a consultant, Burns & McDonnell, was contracted last May to examine solid‑waste operations; she said officials expect recommendations but acknowledged residents’ frustration.

On warming centers and extreme cold response, a resident asked whether the threshold for activating warming centers could be changed after at least one person was found deceased at a sheltered transit stop. Council Member Twyla Carter said the issue is on the resiliency committee agenda and that the current temperature threshold (mentioned by speakers as 24 degrees) will be part of that discussion. Carter said the city is working to equip resiliency hubs and that residents should bring specific questions to the committee meeting.

Separately, Stacy Fairchild and other residents urged support for House Bill 1517 (refiled by State Representative Ana Hernandez), which would allow certain constables to enforce municipal ordinances. Fairchild asked Alliance members to support outreach to the mayor and council; Council Member comments indicated there is active coordination with the bill’s sponsors and that council staff and advocates plan to testify in support.

Speakers also discussed enforcement at nightlife establishments and the role of off‑duty (“extra job”) officers. Council comments noted the city has general orders requiring off‑duty officers to enforce laws, but residents and council members said compliance and oversight vary.

The Alliance did not pass a formal resolution on these items at the meeting; members pledged to follow up with council offices, the Planning Department and department liaisons to press for operational improvements and to raise the warming‑center question at the resiliency committee meeting.
