Neighbor burning leaves in backyard at 1034 East Azalea Lane. Aside from the smoke, which is unpleasant, this is a windy day.

Bloomington Fire Department Chief of Planning Tania Daffron couldn’t plan her way out of a paper bag. Her incompetence has repeatedly cost the department in reputation, dollars, and in wasted man-hours. She should have a performance review and her position should be terminated.
Transient man screaming and yelling outside City Hall first thing this morning (around 7AM timeframe). Individual was screaming about pointing guns at him and repeatedly talking to himself. Staff feel uncomfortable entering the building this early in the AM without other security measures in place. The individual then began approaching cars as more staff pulled up for the day to park and come inside City Hall. Again, it is uncomfortable as an individual to leave vehicle and walk alone with someone being unstable and yelling at you. Is there someone on site beginning around 7AM at all?
Having meeting in lemon room and the lighting is covered up. Please have this removed, it is unprofessional for public meetings and internal meetings. Thank you
FYI - Regarding https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=205604 - My wife and I collected 1 full city provided blue trash bag of trash on 5th and 7th between Union and Hillsdale after the trash pickup. Many residents of Green Acres are still leaving bagged trash, which is scattered by wildlife, or left, and sometimes in the road having missed the target when being dumped.
For City Council members to review: Per City when describing work experience, “Generally, internships, seasonal jobs, and temporary part-time (TPT) positions with the City -as well as internships and volunteer work outside the City- are not included”. How is that ethical or correct in any capacity? Paid labor whether seasonal or part time is just that - labor, work, experience. This notion clearly shows bias towards those with the privilege and advantage of not having to work part time to attain degrees, certifications, etc. in order to finally attain a full time role. How is one supposed to gain experience if the means of getting experience - internship, part time, or otherwise- is not counted as such? This seems like a very biased internal policy decision and means of discounting experience for employees accross the board. This should be highlighted and inquired about in the upcoming council meeting, regardless of outcome for the legislation to be read (no one wants to hold back employees even further).
Nicole Bolden has done a terrible job at being respectful/ responding to me via email. She apparently thinks she’s above me and has blatantly disregarded my email.
Something is wrong with the office of the mayor's phone line. It makes loud dial up noises in your ear when you call it. I've used multiple phones across multiple weeks, and I can't get a hold of them. It is very frustrating. I know this probably isn't the right place to report it, but please pass it along to someone who can help. Thanks!
The "Map Results" feature is missing from uReports. Is it a glitch?
This is a recurring problem. In the fall every time it rains, all the leaves come down to the lowest part Park ridge East that's in front of my house. The past 2 years they just come and clear out the actual grate and leave a pile of leaves around it. Which means next time it rains in about 5 minutes the grate will be clogged again. Also they pile the leaves up in my yard and kill my grass. These are not my leaves. They're from the street. Last winter we went around this and you guys ended up having to come with a dump truck after you put them all in the street and then the snow plows put them back in the grates and then they had to be pulled away from the drains and then they got plowed back into the grates and we had a ice shield here where it floods every time it rains more half inch. And I ended up coming with a dump truck and six people and carrying off all the leaves. The Men who cleared it this morning said this isn't the way they would do it if they had their choice. I've called the mayor's office and nobody has called me back. I gave you the day to do that. So now I'm reporting it on Ureport.
