Caller indicated that he attended a ballgame @ Winslow Sports Complex and was told he could not have his 8 week old puppy with him. He was upset that there were no signs saying dogs not allowed.
Colonel Johnson says the wildflowers north of Miller Showers are too high and people can't see on-coming traffic. He says it is extremely hazardous (wants to make sure you check it from a car). Would like this taken care of.

Mr. Tarter had info. to pass on to a detective reg. a crime and says the dispatch office was rude to him when he was trying to help. Tarter continued to call and put through to the same recording and says after the third time the dispatcher, who refused to give his name, called him an "idiot." Tarter then wanted to speak to the dispatch supervisor who denied that the rude behavior took place and told him he would have to speak with Chief Kennedy.
Re: Thomson Park: the west border has tree grove with barbed wire fence. It's old and is piercing the trees. Some of the trees in bad condition. She wants someone to be aware and she would be happy to help remove it. She's very concerned about the condition of the trees.
Russ thinks we currently have a competent & polite inspection staff. His suggestion is that property owners be apprised when changes in code or policy affect rentals (ex. fire extinguisher, Smoke detector). Couldn't we take 35 cents out of our take from each registered owner and send them updated versions of addenda, or especially the "pre-inspection addendum?" Some landlords operating under permit would even upgrade their properties early if the code change makes sense for helath/safety (fx)
Caller reported that several softball players have been driving cars & trucks and racing down bicycle path after loading & unloading equipment @ Bryan Park. Children and pedestrians were around. This is not the first time. Caller is very concerned and does not think any vehicles but City vehicles should be allowed to drive inside the park boundaries. He is worried that someone will get hurt.
Mr. Lucas would like to know why new truck rt. (2nd & Allen) is NOT being used by trucks? He says that trucks use Allen St. b/c its a straight shot, w/ only 1 stop sign. He feels that trucks should be ticketed and fined so that they know "Blmgtn. has a police dept.". He says that the police need to monitor the speed limit, or someone is going to get hurt. This is a residential area, and he wants to see trucks using the appropriate route.
Mr. Crowe said he called 1 yr. ago in Oct. to Mayor's ofc., & 3 times since w/ NO response. This is regarding how dangerous it is for cyclists, joggers/walkers to use N. Dunn St. b/c Griffy Lake is "devouring" East side of Dunn. Also, brush along N. Dunn is literally hanging into road causing problems for motorists, as well as people. Brush scratches car, forced into oncoming lane to avoid people or brush - at this point feels city is liable if accidents of any kind occur. WANTS RESPONSE!
