Caller complained that the playground at Country View is in disrepair: grass growing under the equipment, inadequate equipment, etc. I'm not even sure this is city property -- obviously not a Parks & Rec-maintained park. Also complaints about crumbling sidewalks, unpaved parking lots, etc.
Citizen called frustrated that Ferguson Dog Park hasn't yet been mowed this season. Complained about it being a breeding ground for ticks, going to start a petition, etc.
Constituent called frustrated by the lack of mowing at the dog park -- difficulty with ticks, cleaning up after dogs, finding balls, etc.
Frequent visitor to Building Trades Park reported many issues while setting up for a Labor Day family picnic. Two homeless men sleeping under the shelter and one sleeping on the ramp. Two homeless men locked themselves into the bathrooms for 30+ minutes, making the bathrooms inaccessible to anyone else. Left the bathrooms a wet mess, threw up on the side of the building. Visitor called police (non-emergency) and left after 35 minutes when police still hadn't shown up -- moved her family picnic to another location.
Limestone Rail Trail: Ms. Tilford walked the trail and reported barriers and no trespassing signs behind Dillman Treatment Plant. She asked if that area is private property. Farther south she said cows are grazing on the right-of-way. She asked if the Rail Trail Conservancy might be able to help. She is a member and trail supporter.
BACC: Disappointed w/location & appearance of the center. Had friend who came to visit and refused to retire here due to the center. "Empty storefront" appearance. Has complained before and would like a call back on this. Should visit Lafayette - it is nice.
Ms. Hessman called Chris Truelock to offer free paint and other materials for the BBCC. When Chris went to Lowe's to pick upthe goods - Gayla said she called the BBCC because her two sons had gone there for various programs and had a great time. She said she found their experiences very positive.
Truck #876 - hauling limbs - caught limbs in her back windows. Says he needs to be more careful when hauling debris, maybe load his truck better!
Farmers Market: Dr. Walcher has gone to the market twice. Both times he saw dogs. This is unacceptable - wants signs posted that this is against board of health regulations. (Dr. Walcher is a retired physician and has worked for the board of health in the past). If the number of pets at the market doesn't improve, he will be very upset.
Bryan Park - Henderson: Playground equipment - the shovel that you sit on and move is broken. Her child was playing there over the weekend and had to be taken to the ER w/a gash on his head from it. Just concerned that someone else might get hurt.
