I am in total agrement with you on ticketing and fines to those who litter. As you say above, the persons who litter should have to clean up roadways as the fine. My point was that we are paying the lessercity department workers all year, and in the slower times of the year, these workers should be utilized to clean up this litter. It makes good economic sense and would also help keep the workers healthy and active in the slower months of the year.

I am in total agrement with you on ticketing violators. I would love to know the last time a ticket for littering was issued in the city. We, the taxpaying citizens of Hampton are paying for the support departments workers anyway, so during the slower times of the year, the workers should be utilized to pick this up. The city has the trucks and safety equipment needed to block the lanes while the litter is being collected. It would be a cost effective way to ge the job done.

Only Public Works can preform this job! The lesser support departments are innefective to handle this high priority job!

I do not belive that the smaller departments are innefective, I do understand that public works staff has alot of talent and training tand hat makes these many varied tasks much easier to complete for them. The support departments do not seem to have the training and the talent to effectivly do these tasks. That being said, It seems that this area has been cleaned up. Thank you again public works. You guys are great!
