Mayor Email: Good afternoon, My name is Candi and I am the Maintenance Coordinator for a Real Estate Management Company in Bloomington. I have had problems with illegal dumping in several of our apartment complexes. When I call the Bloomington Police Department for illegal dumping, they send me to the HAND Department. When calling HAND, I get the answer of the affidavit that is attached below. On this affidavit, it states the owner of the property must sign, have notarized and returned to HAND with a document from the illegal dumping site that has a valid name and address of the person who is illegally dumping to show proof. Now, we have several owners that live outside the continental USA, along with owners in various states and owners that live in Indiana but are outside of the Monroe County area. If I send this affidavit to the owner to have signed and then notarized and the issue is taken to court and they have to be present for this court date: the owner will be held responsible for false information. Since the owner is out of State, Country or County, they will not be the person who witnesses the event of the illegal dumping. So how is this form going to stop the illegal dumping, if the owner cannot always be present to witness it? As the Management Company, having signed registration forms from the owners and giving to the HAND Department for their files, we should be able to do our jobs and report illegal dumping and it be taken care of. Please Help, Thanks, Candi

Candi, Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. The Title 6 Ordinance does allow registered agents to report illegal dumping. Please use the updated affidavit attached to this email to report any dumping. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you, Rosie
