Harold Evans e-mailed the department: this morning I read about one of your program offers in our local newspaper. Since I'm interested in water distribution in our city, I thought this tour of the many historical water sources in Bloomington could be worthwhile. The article directs us to sign up for this tour at our city website. There is no mention anywhere on that site about this particular event and many attempts to search for it were fruitless. I then contacted someone in your department by phone who didn't know anything about the event either. It seems to me that the signup process for events like this is so difficult that I really don't see how a sufficient number of people would ever be able to register in order to make the tour happen. If this is how you run your activity offers, I can see why you might look good to the city managers, but in fact, not be doing anything worthwhile at all. The way you are running your department, Mr. Renneisen, is a joke. It looks like this is another example of how our tax money is wasted on worthless politicians. Have a good and QUIET day. Dr. Harold F. Evans 812-330-1550.

Submitted on 11/11/10 by Sonya Thompson sonya727@yahoo.com: My husband and I are members at Twin Lakes Recreation Center. It is very nice, well maintained, and much cleaner under the Park and Rec than as Sportsplex. The equipment is great and each time I have had a questions, I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. That being said, I want to tell you about 11/6/10. My husband went to workout and there was a basketball league or tournament going on late in the afternoon. A group of men were standing directly in front of the doors and had absolutely no consideration about smoking there. I want there on Sunday morning and the entire front walk was strewn with cigarette butts. This is absolutely disgusting! Smoking should not be allowed on the premises and if smokers choose to smoke, they should have to do so in their cars or completely removed from the property. This is a health facility with youth programs and the city should do more to protect the rights of non-smokers and further uphold the strict non-smoking policies of our city. Thank you for your attention to my concerns.

Does this reference case #155817? Very disgruntled resident of condo community bordering Clarizz Blvd just called referring back to what I assume is case #155817. He said he called Streets Dept two days ago to report that the east side of Clarizz hadn't been mowed for weeks. He wanted to report to the mayor the "very rough job that can barely be considered mowing -- it still looks like a hay field. This is NOT Bloomington. I expect this will be taken care of and if not appropriately dealt with then I will go to the H-T." Could the mowing job be checked, please? Thanks for your help.

Anonymous caller reported that a business at the intersection of 2nd and Adams St. has recently mowed and blown all the clippings into the street. He believes it was the gas station and asked if there's an ordinance against this?

Called to report that construction started 6-8 weeks ago near the private park at the SW corner of Dunn and Wilson. Mr. Lennon said that workers left a very large hole in the corner of the park, a big bin was left behind in the hole, and work signs are also lying in the park. As well, the workers dug up strips of grass and gravel in his yard. He'd appreciate a call back. Thank you!

Stop sign issue. The stops signs on Rogers (intersection with Dodds) are not apparent enough, so people have a tenancy of blowing through the four way intersection. The suggestion is a red reflective strip on the sign pole, or another way of making the stop signs more visible in order to improve safety at the intersection.

Deer issue. They are present around the home, eating all the flowers in and out of their fence. It's been a huge economic expense to put up a fence and replant landscaping.
