OKC LAUNCES NEW APP TO HELP SOLVE NEIGHBORHOOD PROBLEMS by Zach Nash Oklahoma City officials recently launched a new mobile app that makes it easier for residents to report code violations. The app, OKC Gov, is available to download free on Android and Apple devices from www.okc.gov/action or from the Android or Apple app stores. With OKC Gov, residents can report code violations such as tall grass and weeds, graffiti, potholes, yard parking, illegally placed signs, park concerns and junk and debris. The app uses global positioning to determine your location and allows you to take a photo of the problem to submit with the report. The report will be sent to the appropriate City department. You can also enter an address or intersection to better help inspectors locate the violation. “The app will help fulfill City Council’s priority to improve City neighborhoods,” Mayor Cornett said. “The OKC Gov app is just one more tool for residents to easily report code violations and beautify their neighborhoods.” OKC Gov also connects residents to information about City services. Residents can read news releases, report missed trash, find a job, adopt a pet, see the bus schedule, view the ward map, watch Channel 20, and get disaster preparedness information. Residents can also report code violations by logging on to okc.gov/action, by emailing [email protected] or calling (405) 297-2535. PLEASE DON'T FEED THE PIGEONS by Anne Zachritz Many folks in Mesta Park are battling pigeons. Two pest control companies who observed food put out for pigeons have said that we will not solve this problem while the pigeons are being fed. They damage property, and solutions are very expensive! Please do not feed them. Thank you. PAGE 2 Get Proud! NEW MESTA PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION MEMBERS by Amanda Harding Following are the names of new MPNA members since our last newsletter report.
