So should we give the program a little more time to be effective? Or do you just want to squash it and have absolutely nothing in this town as far as enforcement or détournement again? Short of this city getting a huge infusion of money, and a fullly staffed police dept., what would you suggest? Even when the city does something that you’ve been hounding them to do, it’s still not good enough. What do you want? Can you possibly suggest something feasible?

What a relief it was an error in the cost of clean up.
The Times Herald edited the article:
**Editor’s note: This article was updated on Thursday, Jan. 10 to remove a line about the amount of money Butler’s illegal dumping cost the city. The figure provided by the city was incorrect.

Yep, the same thing happened to me. Turned in photos of illegal dumper in the act, including his vehicle license plate number and his face. Followed up my post on SCF with several comments asking the progress, and was reassured that they were investigating. Then after seeing city codes allowing you to claim half the fine as your reward, I asked about it at the City Manager’s office. No one had any clue about the code I was referring to or how I would claim that reward. That’s when I found out that Vallejo was not prosecuting illegal dumping at the time. The City’s attorney couldn’t recall one case coming through the system. So I realized if they don’t prosecute you can’t claim your reward. That’s when I went on my illegal dumping campaign here and on next-door. In about six months, codes were revised so you only can claim half the PAID fine, and they kicked off the IDEAL Program by hiring Officer Gomez. I would like to see the program succeed also. But even when following up with Officer Gomez in person CSS about iDeal’s successes, he was not able to give any numbers. ( honestly I don’t know why he couldn’t tell me) Once again I was referred to the city manager and city attorney. That’s when I got the numbers of seven cases coming through the pipe. The city attorney was very forthcoming about every case that was in the pipe right now.
So iDEAL’s one year anniversary will be coming soon and really need to examine the program’s successes and weaknesses. Budgetarily is the position justified? Would that position be better utilized in another area of the city that is short on staff or policing? Would the money be better spent on buying cameras, placed throughout notorious dumping locations? Or maybe the city could buy one of those mobile camera towers that move to high crime areas? I want the program to succeed, but accountability and follow up need to happen.
