I wanted to voice my frustrations with some of the new policies that negatively impact the high school golf programs that compete/practice at Cascades Golf Course. First, my understanding is that there is a new policy that the high school team and players cannot schedule tee times in the afternoon during their practice period on any day other than Mondays or Tuesdays. My son has a junior annual membership at Cascades (and has for the last 8-10 years), yet because of his participation on the high school golf team, this policy would presumably prevent him from being able to reserving a tee time on Wednesday-Friday from 3-5:30 p.m. Any other junior annual member who isn't on the team can reserve a tee time during that same time slot. My son pays the same amount for his annual membership as any other junior, but he is presumably denied access because of his participation on the golf team. If that is in fact the policy, that is wrong, unfair, and should be changed immediately. On another note, from what we have been told, I find it disappointing that many of the changes that negatively impact the golf programs (higher prices for range balls, new restrictions to practice space, restrictions to permissible days to schedule matches, etc.) were made without any dialogue with the coaches and/or high school administration. While I fully appreciate that Cascades Golf Course is a business and changes like these are necessary at times, it would seem that the longstanding relationship that the Bloomington North H.S. golf programs and players have had with Cascades would have made a discussion appropriate. That type of discussion would have at least provided an opportunity for the coaches/school to express how some of these changes negatively impact the team (i.e., how viable is it to have a JV team if practice space is so limited?) and how it negatively impacts the growth of the sport. I think a municipal city course should be striving to encourage local youths to play golf, and not making changes that discourage them from doing so.

There is a half-fallen-down branch in the tree plot in front of 212 E. 2nd Street. The leafy branches of that still-connected branch make it hard for cars to have good visibility when making left-hand turns from S. Lincoln onto 2nd Street. That branch needs to be removed before there is an accident.

Cheyenne Bowlen recently indicated the following request is not a city issue. Her assessment is incorrect. East Winslow Farm Drive IS a city street. The pothole in question has previously been repaired by the city. She may have assumed that the address I provided was on the "semi-circle drive" that extends off the main road. The pot-hole is located on the CITY street side. Please have someone do an on-site visit if you are unable to determine the location of the very seriously deep pot-hole. We would appreciate your immediate attention to this matter. The following is a record of our correspondence. I initially wrote: "There is a significant pot hole at the end of the driveway at 521 E Winslow Farm Dr. The area in question is an "eyebrow" and several of us need to turn unto E Winslow Farm Drive from this semi-circle. The hole is rather large and deep and it has become a serious problem to avoid. The hole is located on the city street of E Winslow Frm Drive. Thank you for your attention to this matter." The response indicates it was "Assigned to Cheyenne Bowlen" with her response as follows: Most tickets of this type should be closed within 7 days, although some cases may be longer. 0 days have already passed. History 4/29/2026 12:04:41 Closed by Cheyenne Bowlen Sandy, The City of Bloomington does not maintain these areas. This would be the responsibility of the HOA.

The taste/smell in the water supply has been a problem for years. The last time I brought up the subject to the City, they sent someone out to flush the water line--turn on a nearby fire hydrant. Of course, after a few days the water returns to smell/taste. So, what is being done to solve the problem? What is the position of the Health Department?
