                                  The renter's "Handyman" truck
                                    comes very early in the morning so
                                    nobody can see that this renter is
                                    operating an illegal business out of
                                    his renter residential house in a
                                    residential neighborhood.   
                                    
                                  That is exactly what the Mr.
                                    Rooter business did.   
                                    
                                  This was happening at 6:50 a.m.
                                    this morning. 
                                     
                                    The "Handyman" sign is gone off the
                                    worker's truck.  But with a
                                    ladder on the top it shows it is a
                                    "work" truck and not a residential
                                    truck.  The signs can be seen
                                    in the 9-25 and 9-28 pics, both
                                    sides. 
                                   
                                  Code Enforcement has informed
                                    this renter about our "advertising"
                                    on commercial vehicles in
                                    residential neighborhoods is
                                    illegal.  So the "Handyman"
                                    signs are gone off the vendor truck
                                    with the ladder on top. 
                                    
                                  Mr. Rooter does the same
                                    thing.  They have their white
                                    trucks with no advertising on them
                                    come to the house at the end
                                    of W. Sycamore Court to get
                                    their supplies.  This, of
                                    course, has been going on
                                    since 2012. 
                                    
                                  Somebody in our Code Enforcement
                                    Department obviously told the
                                    illegal vendors how to skirt our
                                    City laws.  That is so
                                    very publically corrupt. 
                                    Bribes???? 
                                   
                                    The renter leaves for the day
                                      with his commercial vendor truck
                                      and the "Handyman" truck with the
                                      ladder on top.  That
                                      makes the "Handyman" truck  
                                      a non residential vehicle, as
                                      nobody else in our neighborhood
                                      has a residential truck with
                                      a ladder on top all the time.   
                                      
                                        
                                   
                                    
                                  Just
                                        because you folks got rid of the
                                        dumpster, does not mean that you
                                        folks got rid of the renter
                                        operating a commercial vendor
                                        business out of a rental
                                        residential house in a
                                        residential neighborhood, which
                                        is totally illegal. 
                                    
                                  How
                                        many times do  you
                                        people have to be reminded of
                                        our City laws for operating
                                        vendor businesses out of

                                            suggests that others in our

                                              that this renter is
                                              operating an illegal

                                            Enforcement allow this

                                            down.  What a horrible
                                            way to run a City government
                                            that needs $$$ to fix roads
                                            and our golf course after
                                            the September floods. 
                                            These people who run our
                                            City are horribly corrupt,
                                            in my humble opinion.
