Trash piled up against west side of building in full view of Runcible Spoon customers and staff. This is a recurring problem. Also, junk and broken furniture in the front yard, and couches *still* on porches after multiple reports this year.
Tree down across the road on north side of 6700 S Victor Pike between there and Tramway.
Trash in yard and couches on porch (still - already reported earlier this year.)
Tenant at 2370 S Henderson St is smoking marijana all hours of the night. 4 young kids at home. What can be done?
Multiple reports have been made about this, not all associated with the correct address. The problem is at 620 N. College. This is a Chickering rental. The problem has been caused by various vehicles (Indiana, Illinois, NJ), but all are at the same address - rich, entitled students renting from a rich, entitled rental company.

Mayor Thomson has asked that we let our voices be heard about the Hopewell PUD. My voice says that the administration should not be rushing ordinances through that have not had the proper time to be reviewed. Is this a good proposal? Maybe! But follow the letter of the law. Mayor Thomson’s letter was tantamount to bullying council for following the law. We get enough of that at the federal level. Please do better in the future and think about tone and process more than looking good to campaign donors.
The street storm drain is completely covered. During the storm last night the street was completely flooded about 15-20 feet from the drain (south).
Reported by BikeSmith (112 S College) a homeless shelter made out of cardboard was erected on their rear deck, between 113 S Gentry and 117 S Gentry, next to 119 S Gentry. The cardboard has been cleaned up. The individual(s) are no longer on site. We wanted the issue documented by the City of Bloomington. Thank you. Mike at Olympus Properties
Yesterday's press release from Mayor Thomson is so inappropriate. City council followed the law with regard to delaying the reading of the ordinance for the Hopewell South PUD. It's truly incredible that the mayor, and her staff apparently, believe it necessary to publicly attack council members for doing their due diligence and following procedures clearly laid out in city code. These kinds of public attacks are not engaging in good faith. Furthermore, to claim that the concerns raised by council were merely procedural in nature is simply dishonest. Cm. Stosberg raised valid concerns about the PUD document itself, citing incorrect references and inconsistent requirements. Those seem like pretty important concerns that might impact the "merit of the product", as the mayor put it. "We are in a housing crisis, and the community should demand that its elected officials respond with urgency." The mayor is also an elected official. As a community member, I would like to demand that the mayor refrain from playing an immature blame game while attempting to rush a poorly prepared PUD through civic process. And yes, I am aware that the mayor stands by her statement.
