I would like the council members to have current photos of themselves on the website, not photos from 15 years ago.

Comment from Josh Conway on Facebook: How about getting a sidewalk on N Crescent rd between Marquis and fountain drive??? I see people forced to take wheelchairs up and down that section of city road. People in cars just keep buzzing them.

Sidewalk is blocked by overgrowth of shrubs. A great amount of pruning is needed.

At the corner of Valley Blvd and Cedar Ave, there is a landscaped area with a large sign that says City of Bloomington Welcome, with benches and a tribute to the high school class of 2020. The plants that were put there as part of the landscaping are DEAD OR DYING. There is garbage everywhere. There is a shopping cart filled with trash and filthy blankets. There is an ad for repossessed houses real cheap on metal stakes stuck into the landscaped area. Can you water the plants? Remove the garbage? Maintain it a little bit? It looks like an urban wasteland and is not a fitting tribute to the high school class that just graduated nor to the "City of Bloomington". It looks terrible. How hard is it to water and pick up the garbage twice a month? Also, along Cedar Avenue from there going, I guess, north toward the Fontana Courthouse on Arrowhead, visible along the entire way are usually mattresses, couches, refrigerators, today a poor little dead PUPPY in the middle of the road, GARBAGE everywhere, dead tumbleweeds on the sidewalks, broken baby strollers, automobile SEATS apparently removed from the interior of the car, blown tires for, apparently, big rig trucks. I dont know, the tires are so huge they look like truck tires. We see this detritus EVERY SINGLE DAY for months on end. How are you not aware of it? if you are employed to maintain the streets, maintain them. And please don't tell me it's not your jurisdiction. Just pass this on to whomever has jurisdiction over the aforementioned areas. People are trying to walk on these streets, especially in the early morning, trying to get some exercise. Should children have to grow accustomed to this kind of urban landscape, to think that this is the best it can be here? PLEASE WATER THE PLANTS that were put in the little landscape by the freeway. Or else take them out and give them away. Thank you.

Disheartened to see council members intentionally amend resolution to raise the base pay of the clerk. This goes against the whole idea of modernizing this archaic system and keeping up with the economy.

A question for information that can't find on the City website. Probably my lack of skill searching. Who are the current CAPS commissioners? And, specifically, when was Jason Michálek appointed? Thanks in advance.

The date noted for Resolution 22-02 (TO ESTABLISH FOUR STANDING COMMITTEES AND ABOLISH CERTAIN OTHER STANDING COMMITTEES OF THE COMMON COUNCIL) at https://bloomington.in.gov/council/legislation/Resolution/2022 is January 19, 2022. The correct date appears to be January 12, 2022.

Nazis called in to a city council meeting. I believe it is on the record that Nazis are cowards. If we were to react by changing how you can interact with the city government, they would win. We do the same thing we did last time which is pass on all the information to law enforcement. I am not scared of a disruption during public remarks. Hijacking a public forum is normal for extremists. I caution changing rules. I believe the city council can survive three fucking Nazis.

Amendment 4 would decrease density and housing options, the exact opposite of what the City should be doing. It additionally poses a real threat to the viability of actual families being able to live in such units. HUD and the law strongly disfavor eliminating housing options for larger families. Please pass my remarks along, as most resident such as myself can't go to nightly 6 hour meetings . . .

City council members get paid thousands to make decisions about the quality of life for the citizens of Bloomington and the employees who work for them. However, they do not consistently show up to do the work. This is unacceptable as all employees are required to show up to work or are fired, and given the current climate and time of year - the council is not raising pay consistent with inflation (only 5%?) but is hearing budgets to use funds in other ways? Very confused about the hypocriticism. You all should be keeping up with the adjacent county meetings also as they stated on record they expected to keep with inflation at 9.5%…. Yet funnily enough all the fees in town should be raised and yet both governments aren’t putting that money back into the pockets of the local economy by sticking at a much lower rate. If we are gonna keep paying council to not show up for work and just assert their opinions and vote for personal gain, then at least be fair and use funds for all employees.
