Hello, Mr. Hamilton. I have a student graduating from IU next fall. We put our names on a waitlist for Hilton Hotel two years prior. We just received the quote for the three night stay---3,000 which does not include parking or taxes. I wrote them and said this is highway robbery. We thought it would go to 500 per night and expected 1500 rates for the 3 days, however, them going up to 900-1000 plus a night is uncalled for. The sales manager, Diana Thomas, at Hilton Garde Inn wrote me back and said it is 'unfortunately, a market thing with occupancy going way up at graduation driving market.' I understand that rooms are in demand....that is why we booked two years ago. However, do you think, as mayor of your town, that upping the room rate to 900-1,000 per night....which is about a 400-500% increase is reasonable? I think this is something to be looked into. There has to be some sort of regulation or assistance in this college town. As parents, we are already flying in, going to your restaurants, paying for school/tuition and paying for housing and groceries for our kids. This is complete greed and gouging to me and I wanted to make you aware. (Sadly, we and our 6 other parent groups had to cancel due to this unreal price hike.) Thank you for reading. (Which I do hope you, as the mayor read this and not an assistant or tech person.) Appreciate that. -Wendy Deutsch

I can't believe that you're gonna make a law against feeding deer because some neighbors disagree. What are we gonna have a law every time neighbors disagree.

Asking permission to establish a small perenial planting area at the base of the Park Ridge park sign on the corner. I and some neighbors wish to plant a small area to add to the park beauty. We plan to plant perennials so they may flower through the warmer seasons. This will be maintained by there Invasive removal team members, I am a member and have completed the volunteers orientation. We will also loop in our recently appointed Park Ambassador. We will use plants from our own yards. We might add a small stone border but make it low to not impede lawn mowing activity. I will not proceed until I receive your permission.

The two stop lights allow pedestrians to push a button so they can cross College Mall Rd while traffic in both directions wait. But the little red “hand” signs at both intersections no longer turn green, when it’s time to do so, after pushing the button.

Trash is still all over the driveway and into the yard. This has been this way for years. I will help with the cleanup if the city provides a dumpster or two.

New idea/request for City consideration: Currently all of the city's EV chargers are in paid garages, which contrains their use by city employees, county employees, dimension mill members, and local business employees that already have a paid city parking permit for downtown surface parking. MANY more people would likely use the EV chargers if they didn't have to double-pay (downtown parking pass + parking garage hourly rates) to use the chargers. Can you create a system that allows employes and patrons with downtown surface parking permits to use the available chargers without paying for their monthly/annual permit, paying for charger use, and also paying for hourly parking to get access to the garaged chargers? The current system creates a significant disincentive to use the City's daytime-generated solar power for EV charging, as numerous communters that park downtown are not by default paying for garage access (but are already effectively paying for other/surface parking spots). Thank you for the consideration! Joel
