Caller is outraged that the program @ the Banneker Center has been eliminated. His child, Rory, cried when he was told the news. Doesn't feel that this was discussed w/user group. Child is in 3rd grade @ Fairview. Father will be contacting his Council rep. Feels this was very irresponsible.
Disappointed that after school programs for her son, age 2 and daughter, age 6, @ the Banneker Center will be discontinued this fall. She spoke with Sherry Franklin, who was very nice and explained the situation -- giving her other possible resources. She now feels unwelcomed in the "community center" and fears programming will be geared only to older children in the future.
Mr. Crowe said he called 1 yr. ago in Oct. to Mayor's ofc., & 3 times since w/ NO response. This is regarding how dangerous it is for cyclists, joggers/walkers to use N. Dunn St. b/c Griffy Lake is "devouring" East side of Dunn. Also, brush along N. Dunn is literally hanging into road causing problems for motorists, as well as people. Brush scratches car, forced into oncoming lane to avoid people or brush - at this point feels city is liable if accidents of any kind occur. WANTS RESPONSE!

Resident of condos west of Southeast Park found "pot smoking device" on the basketball courts. He took the device to the Police Dept who in turn contacted Parks. He reported that becasue the grass is high, people can stay hidden. Said you can't see the footbridge for the growth. Concerned that children could get ahold of this stuff.

Re: Kid City Outdoor Camp - Broadview. Andre's son, Derek Goodman, was enrolled in the camp 1st session. He really enjoyed it and wanted to continue, however, the session was full. Mrs. Erwin was very pleased with the staff and the program. She said she & Derek were greeted each day and the staff took time to talk with them.
Suggestion: Crestmont Gardens - too much clay in soil. Wants a couple of dump trucks full of soil or composted wood chips to help aerate the soil.
