OOTM received an anonymous complaint today about open trash in the front yard at 1305 W. 6th Street. The caller said the loose trash is blowing all over the neighborhood and the homeowner doesn't seem to care.
Mike Trescone called OOTM on 9/29 to complain about his neighbor's dog. He said the dog is usually left outside between 2:00 and 8:00 p.m. and barks constantly. He doesn't know the name of the family that owns the dog, but said their home is directly behind his house at 3421 N. Windcrest. I called Laurie Ringquist and she promised to follow up on this complaint.
Anonymous caller said we should add two porta potties to People's Park.
Mr. Michael called on 11/28 to complain about unfair treatment by the local court system. He was very angry and began cussing at Diane. When it became apparent he was not going to stop his profanity-laced rant, she hung up on him. Mr. Michael then called back and left an angry voicemail message. At the end of the message, he said someone better clean up this (expletive) or he will...and "that's a promise." Diane forwarded the message to Chief Diekhoff.
Anonymous complaint from a woman who lives on S. Wilton in Green Briar Hills. She said drainage from Arden Place runs through their neighborhood and right now, there is a lot of water, leaves and trash along the street. She would like someone to come out and pick up the leaves in the next few days.
Penny Dillon (219.5445) called the night of 9.22 to complain about the loud music at Lotusfest. She said she could hear it inside her house, a mile away from downtown. She said it's "not good for the community to be put through this every year" and she doesn't care if it does bring business to the area. She asked for a call back so she could discuss the matter in depth.
Jeff Ellington called on 9.26 to voice her frustration over something that had happened that morning. He was removing a tree that had fallen on a house on E. 11th St and the homeowner, Phil Stringfellow, had to move his car to accommodate Jeff's service truck. The homeowner had no other choice but to park on the street while the roof was being fixed, but still received a parking ticket. Jeff didn't think that was fair and said the parking enforcement officer "should have used some common sense."
