Beware of the vehicle following the sweeper

Street sweeping has been under way here in Columbia for a few weeks, but not on a regular basis and the little police vehicle, which follows the sweeper, hasn't been seen.
It was explained at Monday's borough council meeting, the person who normally follows the street sweeper has been assigned to other duties, but that is changing.
At Monday's meeting,  council responded to questioning about the vehicle after being questioned by resident Frank Doutrich.
"He is doing work as a parking enforcement officer and crossing guard," said Council President Mary Wickenheiser.
But Monday, council took steps to hire additional employees so that the eployee, who follows the sweeper can resume work.
Mayor Leo Lutz said the vehicle should resume following the sweeper either later this week or early next week. For the first week, the borough will issue warnings for those vehicles not moved for sweeping, after that grace week, they will be ticketed.
Lutz said the borough is considering changes in the sweeping rotation, but nothing definite has been finalized/
