Joe McMenamin, Alderman, Ward7
Joe met with Springfield Police and the Leasing Office Staff and Maintenance Office staff of the MacArthur Park Apartments recently. The 2-year picture is one of problems trending up, and some units are in bad shape. The owners will consider adding a clause to the lease to more easily evict problem tenants.

Joe mentioned that the owners of the previous Kmart building plan to come to Springfield in June. He said he conducted a ride around Ward 7 with the new Public Works Directory Mark Mahoney and is researching use of sweepers and water tank trucks to keep streets & sidewalks cleaner. He intends to keep constituents informed of upcoming ordinance votes and to let MBBA and other neighborhood groups comment on ordinances. Joe will officially open his constituent’s office in South Side Christian Church every Monday night from 7:30 to 9pm and every Saturday morning from 10:30 to noon. The starting date is to be determined. Constituents will be welcome to stop in and talk with Joe.
