There is a skunk outside of the property that they would like removed. She has called Animal Control twice and was unable to reach a staff member.
Ms. Cunningham called with a concern about a raccoon in the Gentry Quarters dumpster and how she had been treated by Animal Control. She called the landlord, Health Dept, and Animal Control and was given the runaround at all 3 about the raccoon. She claims to have been told by Animal Control that "we're closed today and don't have anyone to help you." She's expressed concerns that the landlord leaves the JB's Disposal dumpster lid open, inviting in the raccoon, and HAND hasn't been helpful with the tenant-landlord complaint. She was quite frustrated -- not only to not get answers to her questions, or help with the raccoon, but to feel like she'd been brushed off and given the run around by so many departments. As soon as I hung up with Ms. Cunningham, I took a second call from another Gentry Quarters resident with concerns about the raccoon. Is Animal Control available to assist with the raccoon? Thanks for your help.
The woman at this address has a dog that has been running loose and leaving excrement on the neighbors' properties. Several complaints have been filed since the first incident on Thanksgiving, but the woman still refuses to put her dog on a leash. Woodlands Winding Brook has a By Law that requires dogs to be on leashes. According to the constituent who reported this, several other incidents related to this dog and dog-owner have already occurred. I would suggest getting into contact with them for the entire story. Constituent would like to be notified when this matter has been resolved, and would like it to be resolved as soon as possible.
Multiple (20+) cats being fed behind property. Attraction seems to be concentrated in neighborhood.
Resident (Janeene 812-325-0369) called stating that her recycling had been perfectly sorted but homeless people had been digging through it overnight and had messed up the five bins that the recycle crew did not pick up (crew did pick up two bins). I told her that we could likely do a one time courtesy pick up once I had spoken with the crew about the recycling. When the crew (946) came back in from the route I was informed that the recycling had been mixed and that there had been shoes, pants, and other trash mixed in with it as well. I called the resident back at that time and advised that we would not be able to pick up her recycling as a courtesy due to the state that the recycling had been in.

Dead raccoon in the street, stinking up the neighborhood, attracting vultures and maggots. The residents want it gone as soon as possible. Reported by Charles Billings, 812.334.2900. He has called 3 times to try to get the raccoon removed.
Resident of Gentry Park strongly disagrees with the decision not to put the dog down (previous dog attack, dog is now being quarantined in the owner's home). Citizen thinks the dog should be put down.
