I am routinely seeing cars parked in front of the fire hydrant at 525 E. University St. Twice I've called the BPD to report it (other times I've left notes on cars or spoken directly to the car owners) and twice I've watched BPD drive by and do nothing. Each time BPD drove by about 10 minutes after my call which makes me think they got the call and just chose not to take action. In the very least the yellow paint in front of the fire hydrant needs to be redone, as it is very faint. I think it would be helpful if they painted the fire hydrant as well.

We have significant concerns with N. Smith just being repaved in that we just want to confirm the striping is not done. Bike lanes are not painted, which not only help bikes but slow traffic by narrowing the street. And even more importantly the dangerous Greenway intersection at N. Smith and Morningside is not repainted with crosswalks. Ideally we'd like to see crosswalk enhancements for bike/pedestrian traffic there, as currently many cars pose danger by Zooming through the stop signs currently there from N. Smith's side.

Please share with council ahead of tonight’s budget hearing: The “updated” budget released by administration does nothing for non-unionized, regular employees. These are the people who rely on council to advocate for them because they are not protected and eligible to negotiate via a representative. Instead they have to silently watch their continual fate because their bosses are in control of their pay without discussion every year via the administration’s budget. For a quarter of a billion dollar budget, the focus is not on the regular citizen or employee who in turn is the backbone of the local economy. In order for the budget to be as “progressive” as the administration claims, why do we not see a 9% minimum wage bump for those below pay grade 9 to adequately address stagnant wage growth. If you make what the mayor and his department heads make, 5% is great because they’re at almost 6-figures and above in pay. This information is public and is continually ignored by all hiring processes and “initiatives” by admin to recruit and retain employees. When you keep the majority of employees in low pay grades and will not adjust wages accordingly in times of high inflation or value education and experience, your administration keeps cycles of poverty ongoing. Questions have been raised that need addressed: what is the difference between the highest paid full-time salary worker and the lowest paid full-time salary worker?, how many employees live within city limits versus outside of city limits? How many employees in city limits have ownership of their home versus how many who live in city limits are renting? These questions provide information that shed light on the lack of wage to keep up with the cost of living in this city. The highest paid workers, including the mayor, are the only ones afforded the ability to own a home in city limits and utilize all services fully. This budget is tone-deaf and shows how only unionized worker groups and sections of city workers are valued - why do all employees not have access to assistance with home ownership or rent? Our neighbors in the county still are working for better wages, however they also have the privilege of more holidays per year, a clinic, and most employees work an hour less per day as the county closes at 4pm. Why does the city think it is acceptable to tell folks that one should accept a low wage because ‘benefits’ when the benefits aren’t reflective of “an employer of choice”? Bloomington should be more than matching the county but now you cannot keep up. Citizens and workers are asking of council to uphold our worth and advocate for actual, beneficial change. No one questions the ordinances for council and admin’s wage growth but the regular employee is forgotten.

City Vehicle #689 has a headlight out. When will the city have its employees make sure their vehicles are in working order. This has been about the 5th time I’ve reported city owned vehicles not in working order.

This is the Dunkin Donut drive through on east third street Sunday10/16/2023. Something needs to be done about these problems. When IU students quit coming here because of this all over town maybe you will do something. This is disgusting. Only in Bloomington. It’s gotten totally out of hand.

Bus 5, plate 81838, almost struck my car in the roundabout at Rogers/Sare. The bus entered late, failed to yield, and was speeding. This bus needs a safety class--this was reckless driving with passengers.

I believe there is a problem with distracted driving in Bloomington despite there being a state law about hands-free driving for a few years now. Please inform me what BPD is doing to directly address this danger to the public safety of this city. Thank you. Marnina Patrick

Does Eli McCormick still work for the City? It seems like if a uReport gets routed to Eli McCormick, it is lost. I had an issue previously with the City not updating its directory after an employee quit and Ureports were being assigned to that person and no one seemed to realize it. Case #181740 has not been touched in 14 days after being assigned to Eli. Case #181758 is at 9 days. Case #181718 is at 13 days. Case #181222 is approaching 2 months. Just checking in. . . There is a problem with a lot of trash around a bus stop and someone living in the bus stop basically, and nothing has been done about it for 2+ weeks now. Maybe Eli is working towards a resolution, or maybe Eli is no longer in town! Who knows. Thanks for checking.
