Citizen says she has been trying since beginning of December to get cable tv service. Says she has called TCI (including Scott Cooley and "Larry") and none of her phone calls are returned. Says all they will tell her is that they'll leave a doorhanger when they're ready. She's concerned about storm warnings etc, and thinks she should be able to get cable now, or at least a response from TCI.

Mr. Brunetti has problem with Neighborhood Dev. reg: inspections. Lives in NW IND., didn't know about compliance of insp. until this year. Problem: he feels that HAND is forcing him to either take day off, or hire someone to manage properties for him to meet inspections. He said he spoke to Susie J. to make exception (to meet on Sat.'s), her response was 1) wasn't in budget, 2)noone wld probably meet then. He askes, "who is off M-F between hrs of 8a-5p?". (Owns Varsity Villa #428 & 375).

Yeakel paid son's pkg tickets & next day a deputy came with writ for her arrest. Yeakel plans a vigorous "anti Bloomington/IU" campaign to expose B'ton as money sucking, illegal pkg operation. (Per Michael Flory, first notice sent 1995 with many notices (& a promise from Yeakel to pay during the last few years. Arrest after payment situation rarely happens. In Monroe County, writs are only used when one is pulled over for speeding or other moving violation.)
Debris Removal (Sand, General Street Debris)
401 N Morton ST

Mr. Walls is very happy that sand on the streets is removed once not needed, especially for children riding bikes etc., but he wonders why the city doesn't "filter/screen" it to recycle it for use during the rest of the winter season? He noted the method of "screening" for re-use - has street dept. considered this? He thinks it would be more cost-effective. If screening for re-use is NOT feasible, could sand be recycled for use as "fill material" for other city projects (Utilities dept.)?

In regard to Mayor's S.O.C. address: Mr. Berkey "shutters" at thought of CORNER CURB EXT.'S around town w/ streets as narrow as they are. "They take away a car's turning radius, slow traffic, just not working well." (ie., sw crner of M.C. Library block projection-light pole on it,crner has been extended, cars can park in it - "it's awkward & uncomfortable to make turn." He basically suggests NO MORE CURB EXT.'S!

Russ thinks we currently have a competent & polite inspection staff. His suggestion is that property owners be apprised when changes in code or policy affect rentals (ex. fire extinguisher, Smoke detector). Couldn't we take 35 cents out of our take from each registered owner and send them updated versions of addenda, or especially the "pre-inspection addendum?" Some landlords operating under permit would even upgrade their properties early if the code change makes sense for helath/safety (fx)

Re: Thomson Park: the west border has tree grove with barbed wire fence. It's old and is piercing the trees. Some of the trees in bad condition. She wants someone to be aware and she would be happy to help remove it. She's very concerned about the condition of the trees.
