Director Ready asked about the big semi's on Via Arriba. Every night they are parking on Via Arriba. She asked whose responsibility it is to ticket these vehicles. Finton noted that both the sheriffs and the CHP can ticket these vehicles. He stated that he would alert patrols in the area about the trucks so that could try and take care of this problem.
