Other: Hi Mayor Hamilton and the city of Bloomington, I am contacting you and your office regarding the problem with the deer in our neighborhood. Once again, the deer are a problem for us and they are outright dangerous. I am not sure what the city is planning on doing with the problem, but I almost feel like I want to hire a sniper (and I am an animal lover) to get them off of our property or now purchase a BB gun. I am not a violent person, but I am at my wits end regarding this issue. Will the city only do something once a deer kills a child? I have heard of stories of dogs being killed by deer as well as homes being trashed by deer who have somehow gotten into somebody's home. The latest is that my wife got a broken ankle because of a deer and it required a trip to the ER at Bloomington hospital along with missed work for both of us. Luckily we have health insurance, but for those who don't...it is a very expensive endeavor that could have been avoided if the city would do something to cull these animals. Lately we have seen a herd of 8 deer roaming around Somax. I would like your opinion on how you plan to fix this problem because I do see this as a problem in our city and especially our neighborhood. Also, I heard that the city has a 2 million dollar surplus this year and wondered if that meant we would finally get the sidewalk and repair of the dangerous culvert that has been promised to the former owners of our house as well as to us. Our taxes go up every year (Judy Sharp just assessed another increas of $50,000 to our home value which raised our taxes again quite drastically). We can't seem to ever get a break from her with her assessments every year and it is quite frustrating. Every year we pay more and more taxes and get absolutely nothing for it. Again, I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter. Thanks. Best, Ingrid Faber 1104 S. Covenanter Drive Bloomington, IN 47401

Ed, I'm reassigning this case to you so you can tend to the issue at 1104 S Covenanter.
Nancy, I am sending this uReport to you because of the citizen's compliant about the "repair of the dangerous culvert that has been promised to the former owners of our house as well as to us" which is at the bottom of his message. I wasn't for sure who to send it to at CBU, but if you're not the appropriate person, could you please forward it on. Thanks, Chris
Chris, I spoke with this woman about the deer incident. She stated that she sent the same or a very similar ureport to the Mayor's Office as well. I am forwarding it to you for the sidewalk piece.
Discussed deer issue. Deer huffed at spouse while spouse was walking. She looked up to see where deer was at and twisted her ankle. Feel deer issue is a safety issue with their numbers increasing. Encouraged her to carry a small airhorn when walking during fawn and breeding season to scare off deer. She is requesting a policy change for deer in the City.
