I am currently attending the virtual City of Bloomington Board of Park Commissioners meeting via Zoom. I am disappointed by the city’s negligence to make this meeting more accessible for those with hearing barriers. Why don’t ALL virtual city meetings have closed captions and/or live signing?
Currently, the city only has one method for filing noise complaints, which is to call the number listed on the city's website. Having only one reporting method is extremely ineffective, and limiting the reporting method to only verbal communication creates a barrier for accessibility. There are individuals who cannot communicate over the phone - like me. Illness stole my voice years ago, but my hearing was not impacted - I still hear the noise. I just can't report it. Not sure what an adequate fix would be, as it would have to be something that is regularly monitored. (Address provided is rough estimate of area where heavy bass plays frequently, it could be one of these houses or an apartment building - I needed to put a location on the map, so I included that one.)
The information on your page re: Healthy Indiana [ http://bloomington.in.gov/documents/viewDocument.php?document_id=2334 ] is not correct. My daughter read that and waited the specified 6 months to apply for health insurance. She went to the City building to get an application. And then she learned that it is only for people WITH DEPENDENTS. Please re-read your page and note that no where on that page does it say you need to have a dependent. It is wrong and misleading and needs to be corrected.
Has anyone looked lately at the employment section of the website. It seems as if it hasn't been updated in a good while -- there are references to 2010 on firefighters' jobs and to last March on politce jobs.
This is great! You guys are doing a wonderful job. Keep up the good work. I hope you're ready for the deluge of requests that is certain to come from me and some of my nutty neighbors!
Tried to pay utility bill on line with credit card. Asked for zip code but did not recognize it when input.
http://bloomington.in.gov/water-faqs#much has an addition error, it totals $67.28 for 2 person house.
There appears to be a typo with an email address on this page: http://bloomington.in.gov/documents/viewDocument.php?document_id=6947 I believe it should be hand@bloomington.in.gov. It has a "period" instead of an "at" symbol. Thanks.
I like being able to submit my complaint, but wish I could review my comments, but this web page won't let me scroll back. Please contact me if you have any questions.
At the url address of: http://bloomington.in.gov/documents/viewDocument.php?document_id=912 In the section of "What to do if you receive a citation" it refers making payment to Monroe County Clerks Office with address of 301 N. College Avenue. MN does not have a Monroe County. Should the first and third bullet points be changed? Thanks for your time.
