A Code
Enforcement truck with a orange
signal on top drove by my house at
6:50 a.m. and turned onto Sycamore
Court.
They saw
the illegal storing of the commercial
dumpster, with the garbage from one of
their customers in the back of their
commercial dumpster in their renter
driveway illegally for 11 days now.
Why is it
still there?
The
"Handyman" vendor truck drove by my house
at 6:55 a.m. this morning and pulled up to
the driveway behind the commercial
dumpster, with their customer's garbage
still stored in our residential
neighborhood, to pick up their daily
supplies.
I did not
take a pic of them at this corner house,
as it was raining. (I won't take
pics if it is raining heavily.) They
don't load up at my corner anymore, as I
can see what they are illegally
doing.
It is
exactly like what you allowed Mr. Rooter
to do for months on end. Imagine
that.
This is
an exact repeat situation. You folks
just don't learn, do you.
I just
won't stop reporting illegal activities in
our neighborhood, whether it is by Code
Enforcement or neighbors.
I did not
stand on my front porch for a few
minutes. I never saw the "Handyman"
truck or the Code Enforcement truck with
the orange signal leave our neighborhood,
as they did not drive by my house.
There are
no commercial vendor businesses allowed in
any residential neighborhood. You
folks know our Municode laws.
So, what
are you doing?
Why are
you allowing this illegal behavior to
continue by both Code Enforcement and
neighbors in my neighborhood?
It is the
last pic on the web page.Sincerely,
Bev Beaufait

This is from our Ethics
Code
"Open Government & Ethics

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.
