Why was a massive CDBG amount given to a pantry based in Ellettsville as the primary donor, when CDBG is specifically for City Limits. Not just that but the pantry is based at a Missouri Synod church, well known for LGBT hatred, and so discouraging to LGBT patrons to utilize. Are there details that have not been made public as to how this specifically will benefit Bloomington? Who is the HUD contact I can report this to at the federal level for Bloomington?

Can the city conduct a review of the historic preservation board? There is little to no predictability, and I'm confused what purposes the city has for the group. Who do they represent? They don't seem to favor property owners or take cost into consideration but they also don't seem to favor the public by thinking what would the public want to save. And they don't favor the neighbors (and shouldn't because it shouldn't be just about making folks rich enough to own historic homes richer) as they don't listen to them either? Who do they listen to? And what are they saving for who? There should definitely be protection, I'd just like to know better what their goals are. I don't know if the group functions as intended.

The home that I rent had a city rental inspection conducted in November. I was home and neither did the inspector inspect everything that is listed on the pre-inspection addendum nor did they speak with me. There are a few issues that I would have pointed out if given the opportunity. Most notably, as listed in HAND's documentation, it states that All required openable windows shall be capable of remaining open on their own hardware. That is not the case in this home and that was not inspected. Can someone please explain to me what the procedure is for inspections? There are other issues as well that I had erroneously assumed would have been inspected since they are on the list of what is required of a rental property to have in good order.These are not issues that are perhaps directly impacting me at the moment but I do feel strongly that the house should be in actual full compliance so as to protect future renters. Property owners who rent their property should be held fully accountable to what the ordinances stipulate. Is it because of COVID that the inspector spent less than five minutes "inspecting" the entire house? Thank you.

Neighbors still leaving bags of trash on back porch, animals tear into them, getting trash all over the neighborhood, but mostly on my property. This bad has been on their back porch since Saturday. Found dozens of new pieces of garbage in my yard/street from them. I took a video, it's pretty obvious where all this trash is coming from. Do something more than tickets please, this is so far past ridiculous.
