Homeless people on our back porch again

Dear Mr. Mayor
Once again tonight one of my managers had to kick another homeless man off of our back porch area. This same man was warned about trespassing on our property just a week ago and was told that if he came back on our property that he would be arrested. Officer Kevin Frank was the responding officer after we had to call a second time to get anyone to respond. Officer Frank talked to the man and just let him go warning him again that he was trespassing once again and then informed my manager that since the officer didn't see him on our property that he couldn't do anything about it.
The Man admitted to the officer that he had been on our property again tonight but nothing again was done. I don't understand why the police are not able to do anything even after this man has been warned that the next time he would go to jail. I'm sympathetic but when my employees are being threatened and spit on things are getting very much out of hand! What is going to take? Maybe one of my employees getting hurt before anything gets done with this problem?One of my customers told me she works in the poplars building and she is doesn't feel comfortable walking to Cafe Pizzaria for lunch in the middle of the day!
Things a really out of hand and if one of my employees gets hurt because of this problem I am going to be very upset that nothing is being done. I don't know what the answer is but I do know that our police chief has reached out to us and I appreciate this very much but when nothing happens after warnings have been issued ... Very frustrated with our city government!
Thank you for hopefully taking the time to read this,
Sincerely,
David Webb/Cafe Pizzaria,Inc.

It has been brought to my attention that the sanitation trucks have been operating all summer without air conditioning. It has supposedly been reported to several different departments and no action has occurred. Thank you for your time.

Mayor Hamilton, wonderful editorial in the New York Times. Couldn't agree with you more. Thanks for stepping up and putting this issue on the big national stage.

On east side of Ballantine Street, between Atwater and E. Third St., there is a large pothole. It was repaired several months ago, but is even larger now.

Dear Mayor Hamilton,
Thank you for your op-ed piece, “Pistols in the Pool, Machine Guns on Parade and Nothing We Can Do,” published in the NY Times. You message was clear, passionate, and eloquent while posing the crucial question of how to keep our town safe and clarifying how we’ve arrived at these untenable circumstances. Your timing for pointing out Republican Vice President nominee Mike Pence as the source of this situation in particular is appreciated. My husband and I are so glad your message was given this platform. As parents of a son in law enforcement, we were also glad you addressed how hazardous the lack of gun restrictions in Indiana is for police officers.
Thank you for taking this stand. Please know you have my support.
Sincerely yours,
Melissa Keller
