I am quite concerned with the continued lack of on duty lifeguards at the Bryan Park Pool during swimming lessons. Three days ago (6/7/21), I almost ended up jumping into the water myself to save my actively drowning 3 year old because her instructor had taken a child to the bathroom leaving another instructor to watch both his and her classes, unsuccessfully. In my incident report, I stated that there needs to be a lifeguard on duty other than the instructors because they cannot reasonably be expected to see everything around them and it's not the parents job either. Mind you, I have many years of being both a lifeguard, aquatics director, swimming instructor, and outdoor educator under my belt when I say this. It's not just my opinion. I was told in a follow-up meeting the next day with the aquatics director, Shanda(?), that there would be a lifeguard on deck or in the chair from now on. This, unfortunately was not the case, yet again, at tonight's lesson. I have attached a picture (I hope) showing that there are no lifeguards in the stand or on deck anywhere near the active lessons. If the argument is that the instructors are also watching the kids, please refer to Indiana Health Code 410 IAC 6­2.1­35 Lifeguards (g). I am filing this complaint through the city not to be a pain, as I've dealt with my share of those over the years, but because I genuinely believe this is an unsafe situation based on experience. Furthermore, it clearly doesn't seem to be resonating at the facility level.

For years this was held at Bryan Park Pool. I'm glad that Mills Pool has hosted it for a while. I suggest that now the event location alternate between the pools

Please start providing fair of the arts at Saturday market again. It’s really hard for working families to go during the week. It was part of the Bloomington vibe that made the market special. Please bring it back, it is widely missed!

Vendor applications for the 2022 Junk-In-The-Trunk are next to impossible to access on-line (as has been the case for as long as the event has been in existence). Why can this not be corrected ?

I tried to attend the Strawberry Shortcake festival. All day on the radio they said there is a drive-through service to order and pick up food. Because I am handicapped, I expected to use the drive through. When I got there, there were signs saying DRIVE THROUGH CLOSED. Everyone was told to get in line. The line stretched across the parking lot. There is no way I could stand in line that long.

At the Farmer's Market, on Saturday, 12 August, I was surprised to see our "security" not only dressed as if he was about to go into battle, which makes me feel LESS secure, but also sitting around, not looking up from his phone screen. It was actually a vendor who first noted and grabbed a picture of this security guard. Is he mandated to come dressed for battle and shouldn't he be a presence in the market, keeping an eye on the market itself?

I would like to advocate an end to the % fee system for Food & Beverage Artisans. We need to support local food producers who are already competing with by stores such as Kroger etc. Let's spend our $ on locally grown food & take away another challenge that they are facing in trying to seel their products locally.
