Citing sanitation issues, city officials ask Occupy Dallas protesters to clean up or move on

— City Manager Mary Suhm said in a letter Tuesday that the protesters in the Occupy Dallas camp have had "numerous, ongoing, and material breaches of [the] settlement agreement" between the city and the occupiers. In response to the letter, the protesters have agreed to abide by the city's rules.
See the city's letter below.
According to Suhm, protesters have until 5 p.m. Saturday, November 12 to fix four issues. The city alleges the protesters have: used City Hall facilities without permission, failed to remove trash from their camp, damaged temporary fencing protecting trees on the property, and put up structures and signs on the property.
"If participants in Occupy Dallas continue to breach the agreement or disobey the law, either between now and Saturday at 5 p.m or thereafter, the city reserves the right to terminate the settlement agreement and enforce all laws on the property, including removing any tents and other obstructions on property that are not promptly removed by Occupy Dallas after receipt of a request to do so by the city," Suhm wrote.
