Incident Report – Improper Towing of Vehicle Date of Tow: February 25, 2024 Location: 429 S Walnut St, Bloomington, IN Incident Description On February 25, 2024, my vehicle was towed from 429 S Walnut St, Bloomington, IN, without my consent. The towing company did not obtain my explicit authorization before removing my vehicle, making this a non-consensual tow in potential violation of Bloomington Municipal Code Chapter 4.32 (Non-Consensual Towing Businesses). At the time of the tow, my vehicle was properly registered with the apartment complex’s parking system. My license plate was on file as having a valid parking permit, but I had not been issued a physical parking sticker by management, which was outside of my control. Despite my valid registration, my vehicle was still towed, suggesting improper enforcement of parking regulations. Additionally, maintenance personnel were occupying my assigned parking spot the last time I drove. This forced me to park elsewhere in the lot, which may have contributed to the towing error. Signage Review The posted signage did include the following legal requirements: A clear statement that unauthorized vehicles would be towed. The name and contact information of the towing company. Information on where towed vehicles could be retrieved. A schedule of towing and storage fees. However, the signage also stated that parking was reserved for residents of Kirkwood Management, which I was not at the time, even though my vehicle was registered with the complex and I had been assigned a parking spot. Violation of Ordinances Lack of Consent (BMC § 4.32.100(a)) The tow was conducted without my authorization. Bloomington Municipal Code 4.32.100(a) states that it is unlawful to tow a vehicle from a parking lot unless the parking lot owner or an authorized agent, present at the time of the tow, signs a written authorization for that specific vehicle. If this requirement was not met, the tow was unlawful. Valid Parking Permit Not Honored My vehicle was registered with the complex’s parking system, but I had not received a sticker from management. Since my plate was on file as having a valid permit, my vehicle should not have been subject to towing. This indicates an error in enforcement, either by the property management or the towing company, leading to an unjustified tow. Claim & Request for Action Given that my vehicle was towed despite being properly registered and that the signage at the location failed to recognize my valid permit, I formally request the following: A full refund of all towing and storage fees incurred. Confirmation that my valid parking permit is properly recognized moving forward to prevent future incidents.

When is the electronic billboard case going to move forward in court? This has been non compliant for so long, is an eye sore, and sets a precedent for more distracting and tacky signage to enter this county and city. Please provide the public an update so we know that the same issues are still being addressed in the new year

This is more of a question really. A neighbor has claimed quite a bit of land that is listed as city property, but claims because she mows it, it is hers. It seems the city agrees, because for years they've allowed only her to use the site. Is this true? I have close to half an acre behind my house the city isn't using it maintaining at all. I would really like to expand my current property into that area. I'd hate to put all that work in though before knowing if I would get the same deal with the city my neighbor has.

People are living year-round in an RV parked on an unimproved surface at 220 S. Maple Street. They have been there for about 18 months. I previously reported them to H.AN.D. and the city's legal department. There are also 3-5 other cars parked in the small property lot at all times. The man is apparently fixing cars for others. Various articles and garbage bags are often strewn about. Their has been many domestic violence and nuisance reports to the police and fire department during this time.

This picture was taken on 10/10 at 12:24 AM at the corner of Kirkwood/Dunn. The truck is called, "Smoked," and I do not see them as a registered truck on the list. I talked, "Ken," who said he and his wife own the truck and showed me a valid handicapped permit. I didn't get Ken's contact info or license plate.
