Subject: Re: uReport Case #162510 - 3433_E._Third_St._property_needs_owner_attention Mike Arnold -- An update from a coupe weeks past on this address, I have been been busy or else would have sent a message sooner. 2/10/18: I reported to Bloomington Police the north, back of house, doors open. Lower door wide open, upper door open but storm door closed. Officers (six) arrived and cleared the house, Windows are still unlocked and storm windows may be opened as they are not closed in place on nearly all windows. Please make contact with the owner and request that they close all windows and check the two doors so they may be closed and locked. I have mentioned to you in the past, on the lower door, stone wall has fallen and mud prevents storm door to close. This needs attention. Please be more aggressive in your home owner contact. Monitoring this house and follow up on securing the house is now using Police time and resources. Plus my time and others neighbors concern that the house is being entered by homeless and others trespassers. It appears a mess inside and needs attention. If you cannot get results on this homeowner's negligence, see history back to 2004 where the city has sited issues, I will follow up with the Mayor and City legal. This needs to be solved to hold the homeowner accountable for action before something bad happens; house fire, frozen water pipes, trespassers cause issues. If you can, please tell me who the homeowner is and their contact information. I am willing to contact them to discuss issues (as the Neighborhood Association representative) - plus Bloomington Police wish to make contact. By the way - the house has not been occupied since December 2016. See attached photos Thanks - Steve Akers 3449 E. Longview Ave. ________________________________________ From: uReport <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 8, 2018 10:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: uReport Case #162510 https://bloomington.in.gov/crm/tickets/view?ticket_id=162510 Closed by Mike Arnold Have driven by the property.

They fly across the street, at night, through the crosswalk, no lights, no warning, wearing black. This has happened in front of me three times in the last 6 weeks. I am an extremely safe driver--I actually go the speed limit. I stop feet before the stop line. I look both ways multiple times, even with a green light, yet I almost hit three of them. I hate them, they make the city look cheap. I am from Seattle and have seen how bad that city and the cities surrounding it about 30 miles have gone down in the last 6 years. Bloomington is well on its way to being like those cities, somewhere people will not want to send their kids to college. Scooters is just one more reason to avoid Bloomington. I have a teenage son, 9th grade, and are making college plans, but I don't really want him at IU due to the downtown problems with the homeless and panhandlers, etc.--it's not safe. We are looking at other colleges.

Resident (Janeene 812-325-0369) called stating that her recycling had been perfectly sorted but homeless people had been digging through it overnight and had messed up the five bins that the recycle crew did not pick up (crew did pick up two bins). I told her that we could likely do a one time courtesy pick up once I had spoken with the crew about the recycling. When the crew (946) came back in from the route I was informed that the recycling had been mixed and that there had been shoes, pants, and other trash mixed in with it as well. I called the resident back at that time and advised that we would not be able to pick up her recycling as a courtesy due to the state that the recycling had been in.
