How does Bloomington determine the appropriate lifeguard-patron ratio for the city's public pools? How often is a responsible staff member actively evaluating safety needs during the course of the pool hours?  (Seeking an actual response, as I notice that recent U-reports asking this question have been closed despite zero answers.) On August 10-11, there was an alarming disconnect between lifeguards and actual use of the facility. Despite a hot, sunny weekend with dozens of patrons in and around the main pool (including plenty of small children), there was only a single lifeguard on duty sitting on the ground level staff bench for the **entire main pool**.  At least on Aug 17-18, the west end of the main pool was closed, reducing by half the active scan area for the single on duty lifeguard. It would be terrible to have a safety emergency at the city pools worsened by underestimating the need for lifeguards on duty.

I submitted case 189100 and received a response on TH thanking me for bringing the issue to their attention. Parks crews cleaning weeds on the median on Sayre road without blocking the lane. It's really just a safety issue, I would not want someone to get hurt. We close lanes all over town for construction. TODAY, I drove the same route and there are two park people "spraying" for weeds, I guess. Tip toeing on the curb while cars a flying by. Not smart.

Just a Thank You to Tim Street for addressing an issue. I wrote that I thought the folks landscaping the median on Sayre Rd should be afforded some "safety cones" or lane closings to prevent injuries. I noticed last week that cones have been added to protect workers. I really appreciate you reacting to my concern. Thanks so much.

Vendor applications for the 2022 Junk-In-The-Trunk are next to impossible to access on-line (as has been the case for as long as the event has been in existence). Why can this not be corrected ?

There is a new sign in the parking lot at the Butler Community Garden on a pile of rotted wood chips that has been aging for a couple of years. The sign warns that the material is infested with invasive jumping worms. If that's the case, shouldn't this be removed and disposed of? If the sign is vandalized or destroyed and the material is used, what is the danger to the community garden plots?

I would like to advocate an end to the % fee system for Food & Beverage Artisans. We need to support local food producers who are already competing with by stores such as Kroger etc. Let's spend our $ on locally grown food & take away another challenge that they are facing in trying to seel their products locally.

The fees for food vendors are too high and are driving vendors away from the market. That also means that the market is less interesting to patrons. The local food vendors are important to those who come. Please lower these fees.
