Hello Captain Stampfl,
Thank you very much for your introduction and your thoughtful, information letter to us. We all wish you the best of luck and fulfillment in your new position as North Precinct Captain! We also really thank Captain Sano for his great leadership and wish him the best.
I recently visited the North Precinct to drop off a No Parking sign that my son and I found in the Victory Creek Park wetland when we were cleaning it regularly as creek stewards. I had meant to return it earlier, but somehow it ended up in our storage shed and I just rediscovered it. I noticed that the North Precinct is still closed for visitors. I am wondering if it will reopen soon and/or if you have a suggestion of what I should do with that sign.
I appreciate your information on the homelessness situation and agree with you that at least a minimal police presence is necessary for encampment clean-up, even if only as a back-up to a different social services agency. I think that the agency that takes on this task is going to discover this soon enough and hopefully we will arrive at an accepted procedure.
Respectfully yours,
Eric Madis
Former Pinehurst Blockwatch Captain and Victory Creek Steward
