Subject: Notice and constructive feedback regarding trash collection at the stated address I am writing to report a recent sanitation issue and to constructively suggest a structural change to prevent future occurrences. On 6/17/2026, responsible parties at the stated address did not follow collection guidelines and piled extra bags on top of their full bins. During pickup, the collection crew left one of these excess bags on the ground. Because the bag remained on the curb overnight, local wildlife tore it open. This scattered rotting food waste is now creating a possible health hazard and a severe mess for the neighborhood. Additionally, bins on the street remain at the curb more than 24 hours after collection. To ensure our neighborhood stays clean and safe, I would like to suggest two updates to current practices: * Enforce a strict "Tag and Leave" policy: Instead of leaving a loose bag on the ground where animals can access it, crews could leave the bag inside the bin with an educational warning tag. * Issue reminders for bin removal: Send a neighborhood-wide notice regarding the local ordinance that requires bins to be stored away within 24 hours of collection. *Have a means to take the extra bags and charge extra for the service. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Three dogs behind fence never stop barking day and night. They are a nuisance and a danger as they are neglected all day to annoy an entire neighborhood- they are the only dogs that do this in neighborhood. I’m constantly awoken because of their viscous barking. Please give the owners notice of codes, and that lawsuits can be filed for negligence which I’m thinking about. The entitlement and selfishness of destroying the peace and quiet of an entire neighborhood because you suck as dog owners or like disturbing your neighbors is completely is not what I signed up for. Totally irresponsible and city of bton is not doing enough. This barking dog syndrome is all over this town. It needs to stop.

We would like to request a welfare check for a dog that has been barking incessantly and disturbing the peace of at least ten homes in the neighborhood for years, with the problem getting worse in recent weeks. Some occupants have lately vacated the property, and the dog seems to be increasingly neglected. At least two dogs have been observed on the property, with one dog that barks for hours on end. The dog(s) is frequently left out in the freezing cold, in extreme heat and humidity, and during thunderstorms, intensifying the poor creature’s anguish and barking. Most nights, the dog barks for hours, and on June 15, the dog barked throughout the day, then constantly from 6 p.m. until well beyond 2 a.m., making it impossible to sleep. Please investigate this unfortunate situation. We are at our wit’s end with the continual barking and are extremely concerned about the dog’s well-being, as it is clearly in distress.

Not sure which category this belongs under. Lots of gravel at the intersection of Grant and 11th Streets. Makes it difficult for bicycles to navigate across. Likely washed down 11th from the messy demolition site to the west.

I liked the idea of Bloomington sponsoring a Godzilla festival last year, and enjoyed the one movie I went to, which was so bad it was campy. This afternoon, my plans for the day fell through so I thought I would catch the 2:15 Mothra show. I was disappointed to learn that Buskirk was not selling individual movie tickets but only festival tickets for $32. I can’t imagine many people want to see enough movies in two days to make that affordable. Maybe I’m wrong. I hope you publish your profits and ticket sales. I know I did not pay anything like that amount to see one movie last year. Please reconsider your pricing scheme so you can appeal to other than die-hard fans. Thanks.

There is trash in the driveway and random chairs along the end of the driveway toward the road and a pile of empty cardboard boxes by the road next to the mailbox. The recycling and trash bins are overflowing. It’s a mess. Can you please talk with them about the expectations and rules of keeping things clean. They are student renters and they may not be aware or understand how these things affect a neighborhood. Thank you.
