Re: After being denied a solution, I would like to clarify that this is CITY property. I do not understand how and why I should “contact the county regarding this” because the City of Bloomington owns this property. As an employee am I supposed to contact the County regarding issues at my workplace? No! That’s why I’m filling out this report. There is an invasive species on the CITY OF BLOOMINGTON’s property of which they have vowed to remove in recent initiatives. This is the responsibility of the city, not the county. I feel like you didn’t even actually read what I wrote and just looked at the address and said “NOPE! Not my responsibility” Bradford Pears (invasive species) located at Monroe Water Treatment Plant. The two trees are located at the discharge point of a surface drain. More importantly, the trees are located directly adjacent to the Hoosier National Forest, which is just a mere 50ft away (across Shady Side Dr). Currently, the trees are bearing fruit. It appears that these fruits' seeds have the opportunity to traverse the slope and end up in our watershed, tainting the Hoosier National Forest, as an invasive species. The trees should be removed ASAP, as part of the City's initiative to systematically remove Bradford Pear trees from public property. Given the proximity to the National Forest and in the confines of the Lake Monroe watershed, this is a priority site.

I moved out of this property in January due to unsafe living conditions. There was a cracked foundation and slumping overhang. Our former neighbors have since reported that no outdoor work was done to the home.

Came home after new stairs were unexpectedly put in. The bottom step is way too tall (about a foot off the ground), none of the “support posts” line up, screws either not all the way in or broken, main posts at base are not very secure, wood is untreated and splintering. Top stair has an unsecured middle piece, and it wobbles when you walk down it.
