I am again seeing announcements for new hires for items like safe and civil cities with ZERO mention of the significant LGBTQ community in this town. All deserve safe and civil cities, including LGBTQ residents. A community under intense threat at the highest levels in years. What is the City doing to specifically serve and protect queer community members? Who is the staff member assigned to have expertise and devoted time to this task? And bigger question, what is the City doing to prepare for the Trump administration taking power and attacking the LGBTQ community. What plans are being made? What is the City doing to pledge and realistically defend the rights and livelihood of queer people as politicians attempt to destroy such families and eradicate this group from existence? Don't be blindsided. This will be where queer people go for those who remain in Indiana, some without choice.

The impact of the recent construction projects on traffic patterns is hard to bear. Could we get some information about why these projects are happening now instead of the summer?

To whom it may concern Hello, I’m writing to express my concern regarding an incident that happen on 10/16/24. My vehicle had an electrical fire down town on 4th street in front of the India restaurant. I am a single mother of three daughters who I’m struggling to greatly to afford with the cost of food continuing to raise. I work at a CNA during the day while my children are in school but it doesn’t always provide enough. I was doing uber the night of so I could feed my family. My family is my responsibility and I take that very seriously. After the electrical fire, I had no way of moving the vehicle. The officer on scene gave me permission to leave the vehicle parked until I could get ahold of my insurance company. It was not in the road way, it wasn’t blocking traffic, the restaurant owner was not concerned about it being left there, he told me himself that I could park it in his parking space behind the restaurant. unfortunately it could not be moved without a tow truck. the vehicle was left in a parking place and the officer stated that adjustments could be made due to the Circumstances. The next morning I spoke with insurance and the vehicle was supposed to be picked up. I informed the parking enforcement department that it would be moved. Also explaining that it was not possible for me to pay for a tow at that time. I understand the inconvenience of the situation and I apologized over and over. The woman I spoke with got nasty with me several times and hung up on me twice while I was trying to explaining to her my situation and how limited I was but I was doing everything I could. I called the insurance company over and over explaining the importance of the vehicle being moved. The last phone call I got from the parking enforcement woman was the nastiest. She was extremely aggressive and was using her job tittle as a weapon. She told me after this call I will ticket the vehicle every hour until it’s moved and then proceeded to hang up on me yet again. After about the second call I realized the woman’s aggression was progressing so I recorded the last two phone calls for the purpose of bringing her behavior to the attention of anyone above her. The way that I was treated was uncalled for and more importantly it was cruel. To be ridiculed, threatened and quite frankly bullied should not be accepted and I get the feeling it’s not her first time. I will go as far as I need to if this situation is not handled, because there is no humanity in kicking someone while they are down. I not only was given the ticket but treated with so much disrespect. Her position gives her the power to bully the citizens of this community and someone needed to bring attention to it. She said her name was Jessica and she worked on 10/16/21.

County is getting 16 paid holidays and discussion of 8.5% COLA raise with starting salaries already at a higher wage than most comparable positions within the City, in addition to many roles working 8am-4pm. Will this continued deficit in pay and benefits be addressed in the upcoming budget decisions for City staff?

Not sure if folk were trying to be nice with a one-size fits approach but with new salary adjustments department heads like CFRD have very little grant/regulatory/technical needs compared to Planning and HAND for instance. And staff sizes such as Clerk and HR also should be a consideration.

This is admittedly a minor issue, but why in the world has this sign been posted on the trail, outside, in late December 2024? Weird!

Snow Plow issue last week. My street, Cedarwood Drive, gets one pass with the snow plow down the middle of the street. It is a two lane street. This pushes all of the snow in front of my sidewalks, street, driveway and mailbox. This makes it impossible for me to move all of that snow to use my area for parking on my street in front of my house, impossible to access my mailbox by me or the mailman and impossible for me to place my garbage cans in front of my house for pick up. A few years ago, the plows would come both ways and do a better job. These past few years they are doing a very poor job. We did have a lot of snow last week, but since then it has been clear. I can see why they needed to do one quick pass initially, but they should have time to make a second pass and clean up the mess they made. I intentionally did not have any cars parked in front of my house for the reason to keep it clear for the snow removal plows. There is no reason they needed to leave five feet of snow on the street in front of my house.

I went to the county library down town, to my surprise to see so many people use it for winter protection. It’s nice to give them somewhere warm and be able to sleep, but it totally lose the purpose of a library. Luckily I took a mask at the entrance, the whole place is so unhealthy.
