Who should I call if there is a dead animal in the street? My wife and I are adding on to our house. Do we need a building permit? If so, how much will it be? I know Spencer is known for being an agricultural community that is close to the City, but I often find large animals running loose in the community. This is very dangerous. Who do we call so no one gets hurts? There are also stray dogs running loose on my street. Who do I call to get them picked up? I think my neighbor is dealing drugs on our street. We have a lot of children on our block and I am very concerned. Who should I speak to about this? There are several pot holes in our street. It makes for a very bumpy ride and I am concerned of its wear and tear on my vehicle. How do I get them fixed? The stop sign on our street is faded. Is there any chance we can get it replaced? There are trees obstructing the view of traffic signs on my street. Who is responsible for keeping these signs visible? There's a water leak near my meter can. Am I being charged for that? Who fixes this problem? My neighbors are noisy. I don't want to get anyone in trouble, but how do I handle this? What do I do if there's sewer back up in my home on the weekend when the offices are closed? Someone keeps dumping trash in the City's easement in front of my house. Do I have to pick that up?
