I'm interested in getting a free wood chip drop for area tree companies. I was told there is a city platform to arrange a drop, but can't find it here. Do you know how that is working now days?

Hello, I have made a written suggestion today related to the requirement to be present in your Utilities premise (or file a paper form) to request a transfer of billing for water services. I suggested we should be able to do this online... I had to deal with the same issue today at Duke Energy (tenant left and needed to transferred billing back to me, the landlord). They told me of a very useful process they have setup called "auto turn-on", which lets them know that whenever a tenant requests a turn off, they should actually transfer the service back to the landlord instead of turning it off. I suggest you do the same thing for the water service! Thank you.
Today around 5:15 - 5:20 pm I had an unfortunate altercation with a City of Bloominton employee. He appeared to be 5’8” to 5’10” with short black hair, a blue city shirt and dark shorts. He was stopped at the garage near Scotty’s at Walnut and 7th street and had several garbage cans in the back of a City of Bloomington pick up truck as well as another worker who sitting in the bed of the truck with the trash cans. My wife needing to use the ATM stopped the car in the entrance and got out. This employee told her she couldn’t do this, so she said “ok” and got back into the car. At this point, still needing to use the ATM I hopped out to use the ATM myself while my wife circled the block. The city employee at that point moved toward me aggressively asking me several times if I “wanted a ticket”. My wife did not move the car yet because the employee moved in front of our car so rapidly and aggressively that she thought he was going to punch me. I explained that she was going to circle while I used the ATM, and he glared at me and walked away haughtily. I asked him for his name several times and he ignored me. This is unacceptable behavior from anyone, let alone a city employee. I felt threatened by this individual and do not think he should be working for the city I pay taxes to.
I am very concerned with the Mayor's comments about the Farmer's Market. You cannot have it both ways, you don't get to condemn white nationalists in one sentence and then welcome all in the next. I would like to see some clarification on what he meant by this statement. “As Mayor, I have spoken for our city to condemn white nationalism and white supremacists as a scourge on our country and our community, and to promise that we will do all we can to overcome their legacies and any current efforts,” said Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton. “We also want to assure that everyone knows that all are welcome in our inclusive Bloomington, and that our Farmers’ Market will embody those values of inclusion and welcoming, as well as be a safe space for all to gather, as our community expects every Saturday.” This reads like White Nationalists are welcome. My name is Joe Maley. I have lived in Bloomington since 1986. My cell phone is 812-821-8015

Does Bloomington have an ordnance requiring Land lords to do background check on tenants before entering into contracts either tenants? I’m told this help make landlords aware of crimes against children and sex offenders . Is this true if so can I have a copy of this emailed to me? I have looked and can’t seem to find any such ordinance . I’m hoping this is a real thing. I’d like to bring this to my town board to be put in place in my home town to help keep children safe as much as we can. Thank you for your help.

Thanks to the City’s recent quick action of cutting City’s dead tree in front of our house, now it looks much better. Here we just want to give City some advise in choosing the new tree plant location. It seems to us that the dead tree stump must be removed completely in order to replace a new one in the spot, due to the underground gas and water pipelines heavily laid around the tree stump, which makes it very difficult for you to chose another new plant location. We learnt this from the opposite newly house built situation. There were so many red flags around the dead tree stump. So in order to prevent from touching those gas line and cause the gas explosion, City must do it very carefully . Thank you very much for your prompt attention.
