Follow up to Griffey comment. The woman working Saturday night was nice and had no issues though.

Disappointing checkout experience at Griffey Lake boat rental Saturday evening (12th) with male worker. I was with a group of strangers I had never met before for a function. In other words we were independent paddlers who did not know each other's names, etc. before today but happened to paddle together to make new friends. Worker was very rude about not wanting to make us change independently and refused to do so despite us requesting it. He said he only gives ones to "people who need it." A person I was with asked, "People like us?" And he said no. He did not know our situation and rushed to judgment. There is likelihood we will never see each other again and yet he only gave a single large bill and told us to deal with it. He should have tried solutions like asking if anyone had credit, asked what change people had to try to figure something out, etc. but instead assumed we were college kids who could figure it out while his ones were saved for folks he felt deserved them more. Again, we paddled together but did not drive together and did not know each other prior to today. One of us isn't even from the country. We paid independently. He also admitted the problem with ones was known to him yesterday. So he should have found a solution if was a known problem earlier. Not end of the world but a bad way to end an experience and disappointing lack of care and customer service from a public servant being a public servant myself. Please have a talk about trying to better find solutions for customers and making them feel respected with this worker. Thank you. His assumption was not crazy but he was not open to correction. He did not ask us if we were ok with splitting change or even apologize to my recollection. Don't fire this worker of course, not that the City would, but he needs to improve.

Hi -- I live at 811 S. Fess Ave., and we have a hazardous street tree situation. Specifically, one of our street trees has several dead branches that are hanging over the street and sidewalk -- as such, we worry about a branch falling and injuring a pedestrian or car. I think the branches could be easily pruned with an extended trimmer -- we don't have one, though. Thank you so much for your attention to this matter -- best wishes, Geoff & Shari Sprinkle.

I work for the Columbus, IN Parks and Recreation Department and have a few questions about how you process payments from vendors for your Farmer's Market. I see that you have Vermont Systems, RecTrac and was wondering what module you use to track vendors. If you could let me know that would be great!

Hello. We've been enjoying Ferguson Dog Park with our one-year-old puppy. Thank you! It's a good crowd of dogs (and owners) and, with our tiny yard in Elm Heights, it's been a wonderful place to let Teddy run around. In talking with my many dog-owning/dog-walking/tiny-yard neighbors, we have wondered if it would be possible to have an area of Bryan Park fenced off for dogs. I'm sure cost would be an issue but perhaps Bloomington residents could contribute matching funds? Besides cost, are there other prohibitive restrictions that would make a dog area an impossibility? Thank you for your time. Best, Cate Racek

Hi, Is Hilltop still a part of the Bloomingto Parks and Rec. Department? Visited recently and was really surprised to see how far the program has drifted from its original mission as a youth gardening program. With the money provided by Dr. Shalucha and the funds raised for the new gardening house and greenhouses, I feel that the youth gardening program should be the major focus of the garden and not a free family gardening spot. Any way to bring the original Hilltop back? Mary Hursh
