Disappointed that after school programs for her son, age 2 and daughter, age 6, @ the Banneker Center will be discontinued this fall. She spoke with Sherry Franklin, who was very nice and explained the situation -- giving her other possible resources. She now feels unwelcomed in the "community center" and fears programming will be geared only to older children in the future.
YARD NEEDS REPAIRED
Caller is outraged that the program @ the Banneker Center has been eliminated. His child, Rory, cried when he was told the news. Doesn't feel that this was discussed w/user group. Child is in 3rd grade @ Fairview. Father will be contacting his Council rep. Feels this was very irresponsible.
Wiring in Cascades South shelter is substandard. The wiring has been torn out by vandals and bare live wires exposed. Feels apparently the city can get around passing inspection -- he also contacted BPD.
The open drainage ditches along the ten hundred block of S. Grant Street is a health/safety issue. The ditch serves no purpose for drainage since they are filled by tenants with tree limbs and are not maintained. The neighborhood would like the ditches filled in as part of the street repair project going on at this time.
IMI (Irving) truck dumped excess cement/gravel in City drainage easement next to her house. Not related to any City project. JA looked at it, spoke w/ John Staggs who IMI was apparently working for. Staggs said truck "washed out" equivalent of a 5 gal bucket, he did not want ill-will from City or neighborhood and would clean out what was dumped if asked. JA left message for citizen, said we'd talk to IMI and would have Engineering check the drainageway for problems.
WANTS YARD LEVELED, RE-SEEDED, REPLACE CLOTHELINE & SPLIT RAIL FENCE FROM THE SIDE IS GONE

On 8/25 cable was disconnected for nonpayment, sub called TCI & was told payment was due 8/22, she will have to pay bill in full plus 1 mo and they will reconnect when they can get to it(will waive reconnect fee). Sub has child, needs cable, feels TCI should honor arrangement agreed to, let her pay $60 now & reconnect her asap.
Citizen says City required Jim Ray to put sidewalk in front of his house, work is going on right now. Sidewalk installation has lowered water meter, now water runs into meter box when it rains, meter box needs to be raised.
