Subscriber says he inadvertently missed paying his December bill by a few days and was charged a late fee of $3.50 on an $11.26 bill (the bill was low due to a TCI overbilling error the previous month). Understands he missed the due date but thinks it is ridiculous and unfair that he should be charged so high a fee on so small a bill. TCI took care of the billing misunderstanding.
Russ thinks we currently have a competent & polite inspection staff. His suggestion is that property owners be apprised when changes in code or policy affect rentals (ex. fire extinguisher, Smoke detector). Couldn't we take 35 cents out of our take from each registered owner and send them updated versions of addenda, or especially the "pre-inspection addendum?" Some landlords operating under permit would even upgrade their properties early if the code change makes sense for helath/safety (fx)
Mr. Raymond is a westside neighbor and was dissapointed to discover that the weight lifiting equipment @ BBCC was removed.
Commendation: Mr. Frohman wrote Department to thank them for responding to his initial complaint about disorderly conduct at Frank Southern Center. He indicates that things have gotten MUCH BETTER!
Objects to spending $250,000 on farmers market shelter when it will be used by people from out of the county. His taxes have gone up the last two years and he is on a fixed income. As a taxpayer, he is disappointed with this "runaway" taxation.
Farmers Market was fine for years. Ms. Jackson against spending large amount of money for new shelter--was waste of taxpayers' money. She is taxed to death and yet the City won't pick up her leaves. This is simply mismanagement.
Re: Thomson Park: the west border has tree grove with barbed wire fence. It's old and is piercing the trees. Some of the trees in bad condition. She wants someone to be aware and she would be happy to help remove it. She's very concerned about the condition of the trees.

Water runing out of a pipe in a stone wall along 6th St and into the alley. Ms. Hawkins is worried that the water will freeze this winter and be dangerous. The outlet discharges are not rainfall based according to Ms. Hawkins.
Citizen is TCI subscriber who receives most premium services. Says except for HBO, reception is usually bad - double images, not sharp quality, etc. TCI has come to check and told her the problem was with the "traps" they use but nothing could really be done. Feels she should be able to get a better picture for the cost of the premium channels. At the time, TCI was trying to improve the quality of picture.
