FYI Faxed/ddh/ Martin, please call into the office about this one. Other/Trash/recycling: She wanted to make sure that we knew that her trash/recycling are out by the curbside - just in case we were already through this area. Martin called back - this area will not start getting pickup until 2/18/02. She had 20 bags - Martin took these but left a notice.
Citizen stated that there is a line of sight problem at the intersection of W. Dodds Street & Morton Street. There is weeds, etc.. that is overgrown on the stop sign post as well as the light pole. There is also weeds/brush that is overgrown near the railroad tracks. It is very difficult to see coming off of Morton Street turning onto Dodds Street.
Between 2903 & 3003 Browncliff Ln. the bushes are growing into the street causing problems. A citizen called the office about this.
Missed pick-up/trash: Trash not picke dup. It had tags on it & no notice left. Trash is picked up in back of house next to Dr's office. Maybe crews missed this.
Cortney from Ferguson's office called to have us check out the alley between this and 615 n. washington st. There is trash left out and is all over the place.

Hi Mayor Hamilton and the city of Bloomington, I am contacting you and your office regarding the problem with the deer in our neighborhood. Once again, the deer are a problem for us and they are outright dangerous. I am not sure what the city is planning on doing with the problem, but I almost feel like I want to hire a sniper (and I am an animal lover) to get them off of our property or now purchase a BB gun. I am not a violent person, but I am at my wits end regarding this issue. Will the city only do something once a deer kills a child? I have heard of stories of dogs being killed by deer as well as homes being trashed by deer who have somehow gotten into somebody's home. The latest is that my wife got a broken ankle because of a deer and it required a trip to the ER at Bloomington hospital along with missed work for both of us. Luckily we have health insurance, but for those who don't...it is a very expensive endeavor that could have been avoided if the city would do something to cull these animals. Lately we have seen a herd of 8 deer roaming around Somax. I would like your opinion on how you plan to fix this problem because I do see this as a problem in our city and especially our neighborhood. Also, I heard that the city has a 2 million dollar surplus this year and wondered if that meant we would finally get the sidewalk and repair of the dangerous culvert that has been promised to the former owners of our house as well as to us. Our taxes go up every year (Judy Sharp just assessed another increas of $50,000 to our home value which raised our taxes again quite drastically). We can't seem to ever get a break from her with her assessments every year and it is quite frustrating. Every year we pay more and more taxes and get absolutely nothing for it. Again, I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter. Thanks. Best, Ingrid Faber 1104 S. Covenanter Drive Bloomington, IN 47401
