If HR is going to answer questions now, here are some they are familiar with but have never answered. 1) Is it professional for a director to sit in HR required goals and growth and threaten employees with termination? And threatened with firing everyone, burning the whole department down and starting over? 2) Is it considered professional for a director to sit on those same goals and growth meetings and badmouth employees to their co-workers? And also tell employees who they want to get rid of or fire? 3) When the director hears one of those employees inviting a person who was discussed in that meeting inviting them to join them for their semi annual after work on Friday beers. Is it professional for the director to ask a program manager to follow them to the place they meet and see if they are talking bad about that director? A program manager that has never been invited to join them no less. 4) If an employee who rarely misses work and does not abuse their PTO calls in, is it professional for a director to have their mommy call around to try and find that employee? And when the director is caught in a lie about it is it professional for the director to then retaliate against that employee? 5) Is it professional for a director to create a supervisor position for someone who did nothing to earn or deserve that position? (A position that was never posted internally or externally) And then put that person over a group of employees who have done their job for as many as 30 years when that person has no knowledge whatsoever of what their job entails? When the council was asking the director of HR about this position was it professional for the director to be less than honest when answering? 6) Is it professional to allow those two “supervisors” who combined have zero leadership skills,qualities or traits to destroy the morale and attitude of and entire department with their shared lust for control and pettiness? 7) When a director posts a program manager position and a person with 30 years of service to the city and 20 of those years in that very program applies for that position, is it professional for the director to hire someone with zero experience simply because that person worked for the directors mommy and daddy? 8) Is it professional for a director to allow one half of the department to show up when they want, leave when they want and take as much time off to care for family or anything outside of the office by saying they are “working” from home? While the other half of the office gets micro managed about every single minute of every single day and every minute of required PTO? More on that later 9) Is it professional for the director to tell a group of 7 employees that they have and must report to 5 supervisors while the rest of the office only has 2? And again can come and go as they please 10) When an employee who files for FMLA to care for a parent during a extremely scary health issue (A employee who isn’t allowed to come and go as they please) comes back to work when the parent is getting somewhat better, is it professional for a director to call that person out in front of the entire office during a staff meeting to embarrass and humiliate that person? That person then ran out of the meeting in tears! Is that professional!?! 11) Is it professional for a director to alter or manipulate employees submitted timesheets without speaking to those employees? All of this has been reported to HR and these questions have all been asked of HR with nothing being done or questions not being answered. So the last two questions are for the current administration. 1) Does this qualify as professional behavior from the HR department? 2) Does the current administration believe that an extremely hard working, dedicated professional group of ADULT employees should be talked to and treated this way on a daily basis? Or does the number of zeros on a campaign donation check trump professionalism and maturity? We hate that it has come to this but when nobody will listen or care, why should we? People are pissed off and tired of being talked to and treated like 5 year olds in a daycare. And that daycare is ran by a middle school clique. This problem was not inherited it was created

I am a resident in the area of Pete Ellis Drive and Discovery Parkway in Bloomington, Indiana, and I am writing to strongly urge you not to proceed with cutting down the trees along these roadways. These trees provide far more than aesthetic value. Mature urban trees offer shade that reduces pavement temperatures, lower surrounding air temperatures by several degrees, and help combat the urban heat island effect. They reduce energy costs for nearby buildings, improve air quality by filtering pollutants, absorb carbon dioxide, and help manage stormwater runoff by intercepting rainfall before it reaches drainage systems. Removing them increases runoff, erosion, and strain on municipal infrastructure. These trees also serve as critical habitat for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife, helping maintain local biodiversity. Beyond environmental benefits, numerous studies show that trees improve mental health, reduce stress, support public safety, and increase property values. Tree-lined streets encourage walkability and community engagement, contributing to overall quality of life. Mature trees cannot simply be replaced with saplings and expected to provide the same ecological, environmental, and economic benefits for decades. A replacement ratio of less than one-fifth does not meaningfully offset the long-term loss of canopy coverage. It takes 20–40 years for newly planted trees to begin delivering comparable benefits. Urban tree canopy is an essential part of climate resilience planning. Many cities are investing heavily in expanding — not reducing — their canopy to meet sustainability and climate goals. Removing established trees runs counter to these broader environmental objectives. I respectfully ask that you reconsider this proposal and explore alternatives that preserve as many existing trees as possible. If removal is deemed absolutely necessary, a significantly higher replacement ratio and a clear canopy restoration plan should be implemented. Protecting our urban canopy is an investment in the long-term health, sustainability, and livability of Bloomington. Thank you for your consideration.

Trees on Pete Ellis Drive marked for removal Hi there—I just read the article in the paper about this issue. Please work with the state to not remove all of these beautiful old trees. Surely some compromise can be made to save some of them! Thank you!
