Code
Enforcement,
This is day 4 for the
commercial truck and commercial dumpster
being parked/stored at the stop sign on W.
Elm Street and Sycamore Ct., where the
renter lives.
With Code Enforcement
allowing renters' commercial dumpsters and
commercial trucks to be parked/stored in
driveways on Sycamore Ct., other renters
will follow suit, obviously. Or did
you not think of that?
This renter lives on
Sycamore Ct. right across the street from
where you allowed a commercial truck and
dumpster to stay parked in the driveway for
days on end.
This is what happens, when
Code Enforcement picks and chooses when and
where to enforce City Parking Codes.
I will be reporting the
scofflaws on day one of the problem.
When a problem like this is not taken care
of immediately, it leads others to think it
is OK to do, as Code Enforcement leaves the
impression that this is OK to do.
When will you ever
learn?
I will not stop reporting
these problems, until Code Enforcement gets
this situation under control, with the help
of our City Council, who we in our
neighborhood call "The Do-Nothing Congress".
Flash News Item: Our
neighborhood is not for commercial business,
as it is a residential neighborhood.
This renter lives right next
door, to the west, of the house in the
picture with the red garage door.
Sincerely,
Bev Beaufait
P.S.

This
is from our Ethics Code
"Open Government & Ethics Pamphlet
2013
Other Ethics Rules of Interest
Page 7
It
also prohibits acts of advantage or
favoritism and, in that regard,
prohibits special considerations, use
of employee time for personal or
private
reasons,
and use of City vehicles or equipment,
except in same manner as available to
any other person (or in manner that
will substantially benefit City)."
"Last
night we heard from
the owners of the
truck. It
belongs to a couple
who recently moved
to Louisville and
who just purchased
the vehicle.
The husband and wife
are a little
distressed about why
the selective
enforcement against
them.
Commander Kingston
will speak with them
and convey our
assurances that this
is all quite routine
and innocent. "
This
quote is from a May 25,
2012 e-mail to me from
Bruce Goodman, Police
Chief. He knows
the rules. He
applies them when he
wants. He is a
bully. He does not
do his job that he is
paid to do. He
should be fired on the
spot. If he did
his job correctly, the
first time he contacted
the owners, he would not
be backed into a
corner to save
face. Now, he will
not do his job, just to
try to prove he is
correct, when he is so
very wrong.
