Dear Mayor Hamilton- Three months ago I sent you an email asking about the installation of assisted listening devices at speaking venues, especially where the city and county councils and various public advisory groups hold meetings. Also at the courthouse and other places where the public engages the judicial system. While many facilities including churches and the Monroe County Public Library have responded affirmatively to this need, the Buskirk-Chumley and the Waldron Arts Center have not; they are badly in need of assisted listening device to replace their present antiquated systems. I never received a response to my earlier email but I hope this is an item you have on your mayoral agenda. Attached is a copy of a guest column about this subject that appeared in the Herald Times. Thank you, Robert Woodley

Ferguson Dog Park -- LOVE the place! But there are DEEP holes everywhere - twisting ankles and had my dog not been just walking, she stepped in such a deep one it would have snapped her leg if she had been running! I would be happy to help fill these holes! VERY dangerous! Signs posted to not let the dogs dig holes would be great to see! I don't need a DR bill or a vet bill just from running my dog!

Homeless people on our back porch again David Webb <spiderwebb103061@yahoo.com> Tue, Jul 12, 2016 at 9:48 PM Reply-To: David Webb <spiderwebb103061@yahoo.com> To: "mayor@bloomington.in.gov" <mayor@bloomington.in.gov> Dear Mr. Mayor Once again tonight one of my managers had to kick another homeless man off of our back porch area. This same man was warned about trespassing on our property just a week ago and was told that if he came back on our property that he would be arrested. Officer Kevin Frank was the responding officer after we had to call a second time to get anyone to respond. Officer Frank talked to the man and just let him go warning him again that he was trespassing once again and then informed my manager that since the officer didn't see him on our property that he couldn't do anything about it. The Man admitted to the officer that he had been on our property again tonight but nothing again was done. I don't understand why the police are not able to do anything even after this man has been warned that the next time he would go to jail. I'm sympathetic but when my employees are being threatened and spit on things are getting very much out of hand! What is going to take? Maybe one of my employees getting hurt before anything gets done with this problem?One of my customers told me she works in the poplars building and she is doesn't feel comfortable walking to Cafe Pizzaria for lunch in the middle of the day! Things a really out of hand and if one of my employees gets hurt because of this problem I am going to be very upset that nothing is being done. I don't know what the answer is but I do know that our police chief has reached out to us and I appreciate this very much but when nothing happens after warnings have been issued ... Very frustrated with our city government! Thank you for hopefully taking the time to read this, Sincerely, David Webb/Cafe Pizzaria,Inc.

It has been brought to my attention that the sanitation trucks have been operating all summer without air conditioning. It has supposedly been reported to several different departments and no action has occurred. Thank you for your time.

Mayor Hamilton, wonderful editorial in the New York Times. Couldn't agree with you more. Thanks for stepping up and putting this issue on the big national stage.
