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.

Fraudulent business practices continuing to occur at Speedy Wrecker Services LLC, 3170 S. Walnut St., Bloominton, IN 47401. This business specializes in non consensual and predatory towing. Once the car is impounded, they only offer odd hours for pick up, demand cash only payments, and do not collect taxes. The price per tow is over twice the normal rate in town. My son was charged $240.00. He settled via small claims mediation. Two friends since that case have been charged $180.00 each for a tow that should cost $90.00. The Bloomington Police have been contacted on each incident but that doesnt seem to be enough for Speedy Wrecker Service to change their predatory business practices. Is this the type of business Bloomington wants to be known for? This company is a disgrace! I would like to see the Bloomington Parking Commission create some regulatory actions against predatory towing.

Juanita‘s restaurant has recently installed two of these LED security lights illuminating their parking lots. They produce at least 20,000 lm each. I live a block away, And I can literally read a newspaper from the light that comes through my window. I believe the luminosity of these lights is in violation of city code for lumens per acre.

There are multiple cars in various states of repair parked on the lawn at 800 N washington. Either they are turning this place into a junkyard, or some sort of car repair business.

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.

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.
