Folks,
This is day 10 for the commercial
dumpster to be illegally stored in our
neighborhood. I took a pic again this
morning to share with you as proof. I
will share pics of proof daily, until you
finally get this situation under control.
The
renter with the commercial company running
his vendor business out of his rental
house in a residential neighborhood,
brings home the clean up work from his
customer, stores it in his commercial
dumpster and parks it in our neighborhood,
instead of getting rid of the customer
garbage and parking this illegal
commercial dumpster in a commercial
parking area. It is illegal in a
residential neighborhood.
The current pic is
the very last pic on the web page.
Code Enforcement, the Police Chief, and
City Council has degraded our
neighborhood beyond words. This
renter has been told many times by Code
Enforcement to move his commercial
dumpster. The renter does for a
short period of time.
Wherever that renter stores that
commercial dumpster he owns, he can
permanently store his dumpster in that
area and not in a residential area.
Sincerely,
Bev Beaufait

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.
