New Binford Resident – Novato Side

Letter to the Chief of Police from a Concerned Citizen

Dear Chief Naugle,

I called about this new resident on Binford Road (city side) to your dept. this morning.  I was told by dispatch I was the second call in this regard.

Dispatch referred me to a website.  As I am working nonstop to pay taxes, I don’t have the time to go to a website (again) about all of the challenges on Binford Road.  That is your job.

I respectfully ask again that the law be followed.  Novato has created a precedent that needs to stop.  Please have the tents removed on the city side of the property and enforce the parking laws AND littering laws.  Our wildlife continues to be destroyed by oil spills, garbage and human waste.

Other cities in California are having successes.  Novato can too.

City of Novato – “Report An Issue” website

You can use this to report any issues wrt Binford on the Novato side.

At the City of Novato, we use a coordinated service request process to ensure all departments work together to handle these concerns. I recommend using our service request feature on the City of Novato website, found at this link: https://www.novato.org/community/report-an-issue.

You may upload a photo of the issue to help city staff evaluate what services are needed and which staff members (police, public works, homeless outreach) would be best suited to handle it.

Jim Naugle, Novato Chief of Police
