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.

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. Here are some examples: https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=208779 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=208690 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=207150 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=208687 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=207557 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=208686 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=208777 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=207646

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.

My understanding is that this establishment is not legally allowed to have a liquor license due to their proximity to a church. The HPC rejected their application to become an historic district, and they have no other avenues to legally sell alcohol I am aware of. Please let me know if I am mistaken, or if they are flagrantly violating the law.
