Dear City of Bloomington Staff, Thank you for your excellent service! Bloomington is very well-maintained and I feel very much at home here. I am a regular user of the Winslow Woods Park at 2120 S. Highland Ave. Just outside the tennis courts, there is a water fountain. I was wondering, is there a way you could install a hydration station there? They have them at my campus (Indiana University) and they provide clean, filtered water to students. If a hydration station is impractical, could a Brita Hydration System (http://www.britahydrationstation.com/) be an alternative? I drink regularly from the fountain and would very much appreciate a source of clean, filtered water there. Thank you very much, Olivia Lograsso

I live on the east side of town and frequently drive through the Hillside Drive roundabout. There is an irrigation system around the roundabout which seems like a terrible waste of money and water by the city. This is particularly true when the sprinklers are working despite the ample rain of the last few months. Also, if you drive through the roundabout around 8pm you will notice that the sprinklers in the north east corner of the roundabout spray out over the traffic lane which is an additional waste of water all to keep a little bit of grass green. I think the city should have landscaped this and all other roundabouts using native and drought tolerant plants and little if any grass so that money and water are not wasted keeping the area green.

THIS WAS TO GO TO MS MCKENNY AT HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSON THERE SITE CONTACT NOT COMING UP, NEITHR IS MAYOR OFFICE PLEASE FORWRD To LEGAL AID JUNE 20 15 I requested your services once more regardind CFC Properties beaurocratic abuse of my current lease that owner of 200 S Madison St #209. Ms wenzler did contact someone at CFC on 8th Street, reqarding their demand of instant payment of 225.00 from my daughter Kathy for an unsubstantiated claim and action against a harmless insect their hired dog handler claimed his dog smelled. Mrs Wenzler appears to favor the CFC lease clauses over the HAP Title 42 Federal Housing Agreement between the owner and the housing section 8 subsidy which pays the tenants rent ? It is my understanding that the HAP Agreemet subhumes the local contact lease, which is not a standardized lease, prepared by CFc Lawyers to protect their CFC Properties, a subdivision of Cook Group, a 1.6 Billion investment group of unkinonw address or owenrship ,as is the CFC properties. That is the value to determine through legal aid services state supported by grant, to provide legal services to the 'poor', and seeking protection of her housing rigths through counsel application of the laws governing her existance at apt 209 these past 18 months. Tenant does not have a copy of the HaP agreement between housing and CFC that pays the rent under Federal Title 42. She was under the understanding that this agreement has a specific number of Complex requirements to be met by the Owners of the rental units that they are required to compy with in order to receive rental subsidy from the tax funds applied to section 8 programs. And that one of these clauses should cover the complex responsiblity to keep the premises they are renting for profit, free of insects and other harmful building pests. This complex apparently has a contract agreement with a company owned by a Young of Michigan which calls itself 'yes' and maintains offices in Bloomington on Second Steet near the ES Electrical services etal. This company under contract to the CFC properties not the tenant, has not appeared to spray the complex here ,of 100 apartments on a regular basis since i have moved in. However they have a year ago, heat treted three apartments in the a and c buildngs by throwing out the tenants, and placing a heat blower though a window from the outside of the building which is highly noticabe, and there fore there are or were bugs in the building ,know to CFC for years if not Months. Of the 33 complexes in bloominton city ,I believe, that have been approved for section 8 subsidy payment from the federal treasury, I believe all are regularly sprayed their premisis for pests, and this cost is born by the complex or the government. This CFC apparently feels it may receive government tax money and remain out of compliance with the rest of the city complexes with regard to resonponsibility to keept their premises free of pest as best controlled. The lawyer with legal aid ,thus far seems willing to advise the Complex residential leasing agent, ms Rudnak ,that tenants hold a protection in state law since 99 that does not permit them to: lock out the tenant, confiscate tenants goods, threaten tenant with letters in the door enter the premisis without a notice to tenat give the master key to the complex apts to annonymous workmen employed with 'Yes' company, collect money from relatives inquiring as the nature of the abuse they are applying, and not notifying tenant or relatives of the programs or availablity of their lease clauses of the tenants responsibilty to pay their hired control progam. The Lawyer ms Wenzler sites a bloomington ordinace saying this ordinace requires the owner to spray for pests, but makes no mention who should pay for this ordinace enforcement which has as yet not been produced as to coverage or effect. She also state that a section of the CFC lease signed by tenant in January 14 and continued on Jan 15 and this year, as originally made on move in ,that a division of this lease [4] allows the owner to pay for pest or other repairs from the deposit of first months put down on move in. This provision from 2 years ago, would naturally not be in the brain tip of a tenant after this amount of time. However the resident manager and leasing agent this Rudnak did not advise the Inquirer, My daughter kathy of this lease or any other lease arrangments between herself and the owers. In fact she did not even identify herself to the inquirer kathy, but did tell her she was required to pay out of pocket 225.00 on the spot to keep her mother safe? This is criminal shake down used by the mob for centuries, and this poor young working woman of 57 years of age, paid this person from her debit card, recieved only a reciept for the 225 without any substaintiation of what it was for. As the lease CFC was not abided by, their own sections, this woman ,I believe ,was not qualified to begin with. The demand for immediate payment from a complete stranger to her for this kind of money for an unidentified service, and thus kathy was 'suckered' what does a billion dollar group member need 225.00 from a stranger for? drugs or buying illegal guns to create murder an maymen . Legal aid lawyer has so far made no effort to obtain the ceo or or board of this cfc propeties, their contact witht this 'yes' company ,their attorneys who prepared this cfc lease, to protect their company interests, or the HAP agreement from housing, which tenant was not been provided on entry in 2013. They need to complete an investigation of the existing and extensive laws, state, federal and contract, which should control the renting of these properties, so tenant has knowledge of the persons and agencys who control her life and have the ability though negligence, ignorance ,greed manipulation and political motives ,to cause her and her goods ,and now her family, bodily, economic, anxiety and distress, and put her in jeprody of distruction ,including, health and life of their victims the tenants. They create battlefield conditions for the tenants, rather than being honest with these residents as to their rights and needs. As to the bloomington city ordinace, which are unchecked ,they are unjust laws ,where they attack a particular natural life form for distruction and demand a real estate developmemt anialate a bug or else. What is the or else, cyclone b in the shower, and let us have your teeth and gold at the door. This is natsi docrine and hitlerism hysteria. If the city damands an ordinace to eradicate species created by the maker called God ,they must bring their own poison with their own money and not put the burdon of their desires to kill on the rest of the population who disagree with this holistic atitutude. This particular bug ,attacked by humans in bloomington rental units, and that may only be low income rental units, not the 1000 a month jobs that allow pets- seems to be a member of the 'climet lectularius' which does not seem to have a natural preditor listed in its life cycle, and this not probable . what is probable is that this bug, which was a tree bug in natural setting climbed the tree bark ,sucked blood from birds and monekys living in the trees and was then eaten by a annonymous preditor ,which we probaly have made extinct ,thus creating a surplus of bed bugs not gobbled up in their natural enviornment and having simply found shelter in the two by four and plywood dwellings created by cutting down their forests to build developments, and leaving the creature in the developers new and expensive complexes to survive. These bug as well ,like all insects known to man ,build resistance as do virus and bacteria to chemicals used to treat them. The adult treated may die, but the second or third generation they have produced has a natural antibody immunity to these spray. Therefore the spraying done and paid for may be useless ,and it may just as well not affect the bugs in future leaving a pattern for man of constantly changing of chemical compositons to spray dwellings to rid this pest from their wood environment they occupy, and its profitable apartments. Therefor it is unrealistic for the CFC to expect a tenant to continiously pay large sums of money to it, for its hiring of a insectiside company like YEs. or Terminex or any other. If they hire a company and contract with them without the tenant being listed as a owner/ occupier as well, that contract is between the CVC company or Group and the Yes pest sprayer. The tenants did not hire the Yes company or have any deed to the property declaring them owners thereto, or any investment money as in cooperatives to give them stock holding in CFC properties. Therefore the probablity that this section 4 CFC deamaned for payment is not legally inserted to begin with, unless they have the tenants all of them, as a collective group, listed as partial owners of the real estate complex. However the immediacy of taking Kathys mortage money to help me survive a few days can be immediatley relieved by Legal Aid demanding this Ms rudnik credit Kathys 225.00 back to her debit account ,and place this deamanded charge to myself ,under section 4, CVC Lease, and remove it from the original deposit of 455.00 us ,made on move in. This is the procedure she should have followed when kathy asked her, assuming it was she, the problem of need to pay this fee immediatly arose I image her motivation was simlpy greed and avarice ,as the deposit plans of CFC would be naturally ,to keep this money on move out claiming damages without proof, as is customary in bloomington corporate complexes, like arbor glen ,and she wanted more money. The bilking of passerby Kathy, so they could keep the last months rent intact. why. That is the question What is the motivation these people follow is it evangalistic religion, military malitas , female supremancy, politics or simply a desire to harm an ethnic person they dont like . I aint black I aint Italian I aint muslim, but I am catholic Irish descent from ulster ,and they may not like ethnic Irish we have no information we can prove. The nature of the tactic applyed however in this case, suggests a collusion between company to harm and distroy CFC-Yes. perhapes duke energy . Thus killing off the enemy without getting caught. And being well paid to do it. Because I am 78 years old, and not strong enough anymore, to physically resist these hate crimes and petty thefts ,and mob style criminal intent, I am vunerable to these attacks as they are trying to accomplish distuction and theft by annonymous abuse, and creating fear and anxiety. The 3rd part Legl Aid need to address in the immediacy for my economic safty and security in the homeland ,is their ability to repeat the crime of dog- accuse -spray and charge just rendered and still not resolved within a few weeks or month creating as countinuation of the orignal abuse now ongoing. I see nothing in the CFC lease that denies the complex from continiously bombarding the tenants with demands for payment and continiously spraying their targeted apartments . If this protection is not offered in th HUD/ HAP agreemnts to protect the Poor from economic exploitation and disasterous death alway nearby, the victim is subject to a pattern of continious terrorism from these juvenile types . I have no paper which states that CFC will not repeat the bombardment in a day or two, and legal aid need so to have a written paper from these exploiters, that they will not try the crime again in future. Or that the govenment will pay for their criminal exploitation under the 'what do i care' phylosphy con in america that your not paying for it. The taxpayers are. By govenment grant. A Ms Keck, employed by Centerstone, a Tennesee psycological company ,tells kathy orally, i guess they have telephone communication, I dont know ,but that a grant can be obtained, either by the individual, or a company to cover this spray charge, and I am supposed to go down to her and get these application. In the first place, Ms Keck social worker is not on a walk in basis an appointment has to be made, and that may take month I have i hope, requested an explantion of her announcement, that a grant form can be filled out, and if there is such a form ,she can post it to me online or send it to me in the us mails. I dont think individuals in this country have any rights to a grant, except the student doing advanced research in science. I imagine from past experience with ms Keck, that she means the township Trustee help. I do not qualify, or need the township trustee services now, or last year to pay rent, come up with the deposit or buy food. and I doubt the township trustees are authorised to pay bug sprayers and dogs at their income level 225,00 got 25 minutes is worse than doctor O D with medicade, and the comptuter service retail of 99.00 an hour. But since she told Kathy this, she should follow through with the paper application ,if one exists. As legal aid is a state funded help agency with a cause to be sure these citizen basic rights are complied with, it is not qualified to obtain comspensation ,or remove the defects as they stand. Neither are the existing elitist govenment. Therefor, we must work around these distructive forces and compromise to stay alive. The spray used was unknown to the annonymous sprayer working for Yes company of Michigan, but did know what product retail name called transport This comes up on google as Transport Micron Insectiside consiting of a bifentharin/ actamiprid prepared by FMC Agricaultural Solitions, and used primarily for field spraying and fruit spraying to keep down insects who live on these crops. It is listed as a carsinogn and appoved by the EPA. The dosage is not given on line nor the time it remains in effect, and if it is water soluble etal. Therefore it is not a threat to public health, as are misquitos ticks ,ants, fleas and flys etal . crickets and locusts may be killed by it as well as the near extinct sarving birds, who naturally feed on these sparyed creatures. If ms wenzler can induce this manager to return kathys 225.00 us to her bank account and take her demanded charges from the 455.00 last months rent deposit hold and will agree to refrain from any repeat or follow through of the alleged bug problem, and will accept the July rent as required in the current lease ,the immediate threat to safty, goods and person will be relived, except for any payment for future sprays. This CFC must have a board of directors behind the employees on 8th street and it must have a retained legal firm, that can be delt with reguarding the future and interpretaion of the tenants rights. I cannot afford to live in a places where these extra add on charges are planned upon me, and I do need a security of tenure at a fixed rate in conformity with my limited money income. Thus it is probably more secure to try and find lodging outside the city of bloomington, where bugs are not in city manadated ordinances. I also would like to know the background on the dog hander and his team ,and their identity, as well as the persons who run this CFC properties ,and what their structuer is , and who licenceses their business, state or city or federal governments. There is no information on their web site, an also if they use the sniffer dog in all 8 of their rental complexs scattered over the city ,or if just bicycle is targeted, and if I myself was targeted . If they sprayed 5 or 6 apts on monday past, that would be over 1000 dollars for 6 hours of work and no one know how much the 'yes' pays wholesale for chemicals, both of which are on amazon .com to determine a 225.00 charge for a prodcut they paid 50 cents for, is fraud. This particular bug, like ebola, seems to be a war propaganda bug, the military uses to create hysteria in an enemy before it is attacked. This created fear of a harmless situation is a wr tacktic . I am not giving a notice that I am willing to end the present lease, but thinking ahead, that it may not be wise to renew the exising lease in january '16 if I live that long. The cost of looking for an apt in bloomington is also an expense not availabe to the low income group, young or old need to contact each of the section 8 complexes listed want a 25 or 30 dollar fee to check the credit of the applicant before they give you the application. This for 33 coplexs is $850.00 ,a thousand dollars to look for a corporarte apt. This is what is called unfair and price gouging There is no solidarity in the us There is only survival of the fittest and the money we have is printed 24/7 under the present administration, so it if valueless. jd 20 '15 judidonnelly bloomington indiana 47404 judiann22@gmail.com PS I woke up at 5am this day and Fitzgerald 'Great Gatsby' in in the head with the Daisy protection by Tom, when she kills a poor woman ,hit and run, and this is the attitude and law that applies. They are very careless people', and aint we got fun. I have the book but no time to read it over, and kathy is a doer not a reader, so cfc needs to return her cash. I think it would be cheaper for the Company to allow the tenants to pay the water bill very month and they pay their pest control . 'In the meantime in between time, aint we got fun. jd And what 'ill I do when you are gone from me, o what 'ill I do What 'ill i do. Nothing like a song before breakfast.

Just wanted to thank you for a job well done. I am an avid walker and my route frequently takes me by the north end of Southeast Park. For quite some time, the sidewalk running along the north side of the tennis courts near Moores Pike has frequently been covered with water and mud, becoming a nuisance for walkers, joggers, dog owners, cyclists and even tennis players. Recently the city trimmed the trees back, regraded the slope and created a drainage channel. I am happy to report that even during this wet summer, the fix seems to be working and so far the sidewalk has remained clear and passable. Many thanks! btw, compliments to park staff as well for the fine job they do of keeping the doggie waste bags well-stocked, and the timely job they do of emptying trash receptacles. Dog owners and non-owners alike appreciate it.

I am on the Gentry Qtrs.HOA board and wanted to compliment and thank the work crew who fixed the water leak at Gentry Quarters Condominiums on College Mall Road on 10/20/2015. The crew did a great job of fixing the leak and cleaning up the muddy mess that was the result and did so in a reasonable time. Its nice to see that kind of service from our city workers.

A few months ago, my 5yr old son and I moved into a house located at 620 West 15th Street in Bloomington, Indiana. The landlord Michael Stone stayed he was in the process of remodeling and investing in the House. It has been apprx four months now and the trash and other hazardous gas/propane has been growing more and more outside the house, behind the house, and along side of the garage {which not only making the house look filthy but also has brought all kinds of bugs inside and out of the house and HUGE living critters such as possums, raccoons, and mice living right under our deck that wraps around a majority of the house. These critters are not only HUGE in size but they also fight with my outdoor cats and are fearless of humans and scare my company and children. I have brought the critters and the bug problem to my landlords attention on numerous times and he is very aware of such issues but refuses to do anything other than continue to add to thee trash and thee rubbish outside of the house. Further more, I have just recently moved into the basement part of the house where the landlord had converted it into a two bedroom/one half bath for more space for me and my children. When I moved down to the basement, the landlord claimed he was in the process of laying carpet down and adding a drop ceiling, however I did not realize how bad of shape the basement truly was in when me and my kids moved from the upstairs bedroom to the basement "apartment". I have been renting in the basement part of the house now for appxly three months now and the landlord has not fixed anything as he stated he would when I moved down there. {example: the whole furnace and water heater is exposed with wires of all sort and kinds, there are several different outlets, wires, pipes, and vents that are outdated and exposed with no covers or any type of coated insulation. Only part of the basement has a drop ceiling that covers small portions of wires, pipes, and light fixtures {most of which area is falling in and a portion of the drop ceiling has actually fallen in on top of my five yr old son } I have brought all of these violations and improper safety issues to the landlord on numerous times since moving in and the landlord continues to ignore any/all of the issues and concerns I have brought to his attention. I wish I could find another place to live but I am disabled and have a very limited income and can not find anything in our price range at the current moment. In December, things were really tight with the Holidays and all and I had to go to thee Trustees office for rental assistance that month; Although, I received a letter from the Trustees office stating they could not help me due to a number or reasons concerning the Landlord and something to do with the HANDS inspection people. I spoke with my landlord in person and showed him thee Letter from the Trustees office and I wanted an explanation and if the landlord had any knowledge of why the Trustees office stated the written reasons why they could not assist with this particular location.. At first, the landlord denied any wrong doing and then he finally admitted to me and my father that he was NOT a licensed Landlord and HANDS (code enforcement or whoever inspects rentals) did NOT in fact, inspect the basement in which he has been renting out to me. The Landlord also stated to me and my father that the upstairs rooms that he has been renting out was supposedly approved by HANDS as only a "one family" house and only adults were approved to live up there (yet he had my kids and I living in one room for a few months before moving us down to the basement) According to the landlord, supposedly only one family house to be rented out only consist of three adults. The landlord was renting out to Me, my kids, and another room mate; all at the same time that the landlord, his girlfriend, and the girlfriends' two children were also using the same bathroom, shower, kitchen, laundry washer/dryer, and the entire house at the same time that the landlord was also renting the upstairs and basement out. NOTE: I have pictures, videos, written complaints, and the landlords' verbal acknowledgment recorded of his scandal and neglectful ways with this house he has been renting out. I am hoping to find a new place to live soon but in the mean time, these are just a few things that this slum lord has done and continuous to do.

I just received a call from Louisa Purcell who lives on Kirkwood Ave. She was very distraught because she saw someone in a white city truck watering "little" trees on Kirkwood. She feels that we should be conserving water because if we don't in these dry conditions we will have a water emergency! She just wanted to pass along that complaint!

Our next door neighbor (to the west) have a giant pile of garbage and a separate pile of kitty litter in his back yard. Both piles are several feet tall and several feet wide. You can smell the piles around the neighborhood. They are also hazardous since they are right next to an open water drainage ditch. I know that these same people have been reported to the city several times before about the same thing (by the previous owners). What can be done to address this issue?
