I would like to report unlawful practices, and a violation do ordinance of 20-03. My car was towed, without the requirements being met for a non-consensual towing. I had parked, my with the expectation that it was lawfully parked, as there were no conspicuous signing stating otherwise. I retuned to my car 2 hours later to find that it had been towed by chandler's towing service. According to 4.32.110 of the municipal code "it shall be unlawful for any tow business or tow truck operator to tow a vehicle unless the parking lot in which the vehicle is parked has signage, posted in plain view and visible to the public at each entrance and exit" the parking lot where I had parked did not have any signage indicating that the lot was permit parking only. This code, addresses it's intention, that being the protection of the communities most vulnerable members. following this event I have $60 to live off of for the next two weeks.

A colleague recently shared a list of “essential businesses” that are still open:
Andrew Davis Clothiers.
Bloomingfoods East.
Bloomingfoods Near West Side.
Bloomington Hardware.
Black's Mercantile.
Caveat Emptor.
Feast Market & Cellar.
Goods for Cooks.
Mirth.
The Book Corner.
The Briar & The Burley.
Tivoli Fashions.
Vance Music Center.
I am wondering how some of these businesses are still open in this serious healthcare crisis, per the Indiana state list of essential businesses: https://coronavirus.in.gov/2496.htm. I’m very supportive of local business, but lax interpretation of these rules puts our whole community at risk.

Hello. I'd like to report that BUGS Gymnastics is advertising a drive by parade this Friday and I find that a bit disturbing given the lockdown situation. I think this falls under non-essential travel and activities and think this even should be shut down to keep people safe and from spreading the virus.

There are too many houses owned by too few people that some of us who don't want to be rent slaves can't buy our own places. Please disallow house hoarding.

Pavillion Properties owns the empty parking lot to the north of us. It always collects trash, needles, etc. No one cleans it up and its reflecting on our business (Vanished Aesthetics and Contouring) next door. Is there anything that can be done about this?

I am hopeful that I am not the first to complain about the volume at which OrangeTheory plays music and the trainers yell on the microphone. My wife and I were walking from a store on kirkwood and wanted to grab lunch at the Farm. As we passed OrangeTheory we were surprised how loud the session was as we had to cover our own ears. When arriving at the Farm the music was still very loud and disturbing that we chose to walk farther away to The Tap (nothing like workout music to and yelling to ruin a peaceful lunch outside). It would be devastating if my favorite street in Bloomington continues to have loud disruptive music and yelling that would certainly drive business and casual visitors away. I am an IU alum (Masters of Science 2011, Doctorate of Philosophy 2015) and love the city of Bloomington.

The workers are being illegally stripped of their earnings by the management. In an incident that occurred Saturday ( June 19th), I believe, a waitress had a large party of 15 guests walk out on her without paying the bill. The manager then made her pay their bill out of her own pocket which was hundreds of dollars. This is also not the first time I have heard of this restaurant doing such a thing. This is not only Illegal but extremely abhorrent behavior. I am emailing and contacting as many governmental authorities as I can so that something can be done about this. If you have any better leads on where I can talk to the right people about this abuse of power please let me know.
