There is a homeless camp behind our subdivision, Shady Acres at 708 S.Cory Lane.
They have been walking through here to access the main roads.
This is a small subdivision with probably 60% widow and/or single elderly women.
We are requesting help in getting this camp removed.
Thank you.

To whom it may concern,
The following describes multiple code violations from Chandler Automotive that I noticed/experienced during the process of retrieving my towed car from their site. I have video/audio evidence of the violations, and I would prefer if someone reached out to me so I can submit these as proof. It will only allow me to upload images through this submission form. Thank you:
BMC 4.32.140(b): Called the number at around 5:30pm to ask to retrieve car, employee stated that she will not be able to get my car until about 9:30/10pm. This is in violation of part 1 of section B, as well as violation of part 2 of section B, since this was well outside the sixty minutes.
I recorded the phone call where the employee told me 10pm. Please reach out if you would like this evidence.
BMC 4.32.140(f): The invoice, see attached, is not itemized correctly pursuant to the requirements of I.C. 24-14-5-1. The invoice is missing/incorrectly accounted for the following:
- I.C. 24-14-5-1(4)(D) - No VIN number.
- I.C. 24-14-5-1(4)(C) - No year.
- I.C. 24-14-5-1(5) - License plate # is incorrect.
- I.C. 24-14-5-1(C) - No explanation is given for the additional charges incurred, which is required here.
BMC 4.32.130(a)(2) - The company attempted to charge me $185 for the tow. One $25 charge being a go jack fee, and the other being a dollies fee. Since a go jack fee is a special fee, the total for those should not be $50 according to the code, but a maximum of $25. They corrected this upon me providing them a copy of the code. However, I have audio recording of them attempting to charge me that amount, and being unable to explain these additional charges.
BMC 4.32.120(a) - As stated above, the towing company failed to comply with applicable state law in the invoice.
BMC 4.32.120(e) - The vehicle was not able to be claimed upon calling at 5:30pm on 4/18/2024. Please reach out for a copy of the evidence as I am not able to upload it here.
These laws were created by the legislature with the intention to be construed strictly due to the stated purpose of this chapter being to protect the public from unconscionable practices (BMC 4.32.010). Please reach out to me if you have any additional questions. I plan on following up in fourteen (14) days if I have not heard back from the city on this matter by that time. Thank you for taking the time to read this complaint, and I appreciate your enforcement of the laws of our wonderful city.
Respectfully,
Matt Shelton

adam See case #188221. Electric bicycle lying by the street. Which City Department is responsible for removal? How long can it stay there before it can be removed by anyone and sold for scrap?
Accessibility Problem
808 S Gatewood DR
- Case Date:

The City does not maintain the trees between the sidewalk and the street on Adams. The trees and brush are overgrown with invasive species and the local residents are spending hours and money trying to maintain the weeds/trees that are impeding their property. The sidewalk is not accessible because the City has not maintained their portion of the land between the sidewalk and the street.
