Mr. Kadish lives across from 9th St. Park & there are 12 bright lights for parking lot which is very bothersome & disruptive for he & his family. He feels it's wasting energy & producing light pollution. He proposed the option of a timer to shut off lights at time park closes thru to next evening (which they do in NJ where he moved from). With park being closed at certain hour no reason for lights to be on.
Mrs. John's is extremely disturbed at the idea of the D.A.R.E. program NOT being continued in the shools. She feels this is an extremely important program and doesn't want to see it come to an end. "It's unimaginable!" (Talked to Elaine Helms who explained that Chief Kennedy is the person she needs to speak to but that he's gone until 10/18. Elaine said we could put her through to his voice mail.) I told Mrs. John's the information that Elaine told me and forwarded her to his voice mail.
Bryan Park Pool: Would like to see more lanes opened up for recreational swimming and fewer lap lanes.
Complaint with the phone system and how when she called with an emergency that she could not get through to the dept. and was forwarded to utilities and then public works.
She feels that there is a lack of police presence when it comes to theft. She is upset with how they delt with her daughter's situation and that something should be done. SEE ATTACHED EMAIL.
9th Street Park: Says there is dog poop all over the park - she is tired of cleaning it off her kids shoes. So upset over this, she has talked to dog owners who don't pick up - showed them the disposal areas, etc. Was told today "it is better I let him poop here rather than in someone's yard." Wants to know if anything can be done to these rude people.
