Hello City of Bloomington - I want to suggest that you learn about and advocate for the City to join the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) - https://www.racialequityalliance.org. It's a national network geared to local and regional government agencies. We know white supremacy is a systemic problem, not unique to B'town. The City should work in coalition and learn from other govt. entities committed to progressive social change. Mayor Hamilton and other City leaders know about GARE but have never joined. We're not a progressive city. BUT we could make a serious move towards being one if we take bold, strategic action. Joining GARE is a start. Thanks for taking seriously this suggestion. Sincerely, Trish Kerle'

John Hamilton is not performing well. Here are some failures:
1) high speed internet
2) clueless about military vehicle acquisition
3) UDO and more generally his `3-ring binder' nonsense
4) mismanagement of farmer's market strife
I have never voted for a Republican in 38 year but I'm writing
to the GOP to see if they can put forward a moderate.

I thought the Bloomington police handled themselves well Saturday at the market. They were put in a bad position needing to enforce the parks department decision to trespass a protester. The officers were calm, courteous, and professional throughout despite being yelled at and called names. Thanks for keeping us safe and civil as best you can given the circumstances. I'm sorry people are taking out frustrations on you.

Ref: Saturday Farmer's Market
I implore the mayor of Bloomington to not resort to the extreme action of closing the Saturday Farmer's Market as a solution to calming the tensions around a particular market stand at the farmer's market. Bloomington's farmers market is at its peak time of year late July/early August. I have arranged for out of town company to be in Bloomington this weekend in large part because the market yields such a wonderful market Saturday dinner. I myself am making a trip into town from DC for the weekend to host my out of town guests.
The city MUST find a less destructive way of calming the tensions than that of closing the market.
Sincerely,
Beth Plale

Referencing case #168961 which was filed 6/14/19. I contacted Lee Huss several months even before that. I just spent $4000.00 on tree work and am about to spend another $4000.00 to remove and prune old and dangerous trees on my property. All I have asked of Forestry is to remove one City tree. ONE. It's an Ash that is covered with vines and is 1/2 dead if not completely dead. Not only is its health an issue, but there has been no question in the past about removing City Ash trees because of the emerald Ash borer. Lee Huss told me that it would be removed, but it has not. I am ready and willing to clear and reseed the area once the tree and stump are removed. I have been patient because I realize that I'm not the only tree in the City. However, I also realize my tree is in an area of the City that often gets dismissed. I would like to have the sick, invasive vine-covered, and potentially infested, City tree (including the stump) that is restricting my ability to landscape and improve my property to the level that I wish, removed. Thank you.
The tree is on the City right-of-way at the back (northeast) corner of 712 N. Oolitic St. - where the gravel alley intersects with W. 12th Street.

I don't see the point in using this reporting system AT ALL if issues sit around for a month and no one takes care of the problem. See issue 169137 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=169137

Referencing Case #168961
Actual address is 712 N. Oolitic but the GIS won't pinpoint there - city Ash tree back corner beside alley.
Any updates? I am more than ready to re-seed the area once the tree and stump are removed.

Do the new water meters finally mean we can be billed by the gallon as opposed to the present archaic system of thousands of gallons, which is exceptionally adverse to water conservation incentives as well as basic economic fairness. Please say yes. It's such an easy change to make. Even X for every hundred gallons is a vast improvement and perhaps easier to transition to.

52,000 dollars for a Night Mayor (Nightmare more like it). Thanks for nothing B-town. More like IU Student Housing City, IN. I suppose Mayor "Default" Hamilton can't function after 5pm or he'll turn into a pumpkin.
