Ms. Harris called our office on 1/26 complaining that her children were almost hit by a bus (bus #4, driver Glenn). She also complained that she was called the "n" word (which is a derogatory statement for an African American) by the bus driver), after she wanted to get off and he wouldn't open the doors for her and her children to get off the bus. She had stated that she was "very upset" by the service and names she was called by this bus driver.
Missed pick-up/trash: Trash not picke dup. It had tags on it & no notice left. Trash is picked up in back of house next to Dr's office. Maybe crews missed this.
Rec'd. a call from Mayor's Office. An anonymous caller stated to them that she was driving behind a yellow vehicle (611) when a piece of wood fell off. The driver did not stop to pick up wood - continued driving. Caller felt this was careless and wants to be sure all materials in back of trucks are tied down or secured in the future.
This lot is overgrown with weeds/shrubs/flowers. The weeds are obstructing a "No Parking" sign in front of the house and are starting to climb up the post of the stop sign at 6th & Elm. The weeds are over the sidewalk on 6th Street causing people to have to walk in the street. There are 2 junk cars parked in the sideyard on Elm Street.
Between 2903 & 3003 Browncliff Ln. the bushes are growing into the street causing problems. A citizen called the office about this.
Dr. Smith's office called and said the trash in the alley behind his office is bad -- large items such as mattresses are being dumped by the tenants in the apts.

FYI Faxed/ddh/ Martin, please call into the office about this one. Other/Trash/recycling: She wanted to make sure that we knew that her trash/recycling are out by the curbside - just in case we were already through this area. Martin called back - this area will not start getting pickup until 2/18/02. She had 20 bags - Martin took these but left a notice.
Mr. Young came into the office to report that the residents at this address have let the trash go for at least 3 months or so and it isn't getting any better. It has accumulated in that time and is looking bad.
