Picture 1 is very early this morning.  Picture 2 is at about 9:30 a.m., when the renter got done with his "Handyman" job with the help of his employee.

These pictures today totally prove once and for all that this renter is operating a vendor commercial business with industrial equipment that is very much against the law in any neighborhood in our City.


The dumpster is gone at about 8:00 a.m. this morning. The renter and his "Handyman" helper took it away this morning only to bring it back a few hours later filled with this renter's customers' garbage!!!!

The "Handyman" truck was left behind in our residential and is parked in its place before 8 a.m., instead of at a vendor office in a commercial district, per our City laws, and it is obviously minus the ladder and advertisements.

Just because the ladder and advertisements are now gone, it does not mean that it is a "residential" vehicle.  My pictures from last month prove otherwise. 

My pictures also prove that Code Enforcement reads my e-mails, tells the renter about what complaints I have for a "commercial" vehicle in our neighborhood, and then the "Handyman" truck "fixes" the problem to be up to Code per  Code Enforcement. 

And Code Enforcement is trying to make it look like Code Enforcement's actions are legal, because I put in "verified statements" against Bruce Goodman and Bill Kingston. 

They are trying to cover up their illegal actions. 

Why do you break the law so much??????? 

Again I put in a "citizen's arrest" for Bruce Goodman, as he is obviously doing completely illegal activities in our neighborhood for months and months and months and months.  I have had it.

 

 


Heads Up Ward I and Ward III Reps!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

 
The Mayor is in charge of keeping public corruption from creeping into City Council, Police Department, and Code Enforcement.
 
When the Mayor and City Council know the laws and purposefully break them, they need to be impeached.
 
I only put in 2 "verified statements" involving City Council, the mayor and one of my Ward II reps. 
 
I named the Mayor in particular for allowing the Police Chief to allow Code Enforcement to knowingly break City Code Enforcement laws on the books.
 
If the Mayor cannot get this public corruption under control, I will have to put in 3 more "verified statements" for each Ward.
 
These other "Ward Reps" are allowing corruption in my neighborhood.  That action tells me that they would allow this to happen all over town.
 
That means that Ward I and Ward III representatives are breaking the laws, too.  It is not just my Ward II reps.
 
I tried to do "verified statements" on all of City Council in September, which our Boulder lawyer informed me is not allowed.
 
So, I broke it down.  I put in 2 "verified statements", one being the Mayor.  The other my Ward II rep.
 
It left me open to put in more "verified statements", if I noticed nothing being done, by holding the Mayor to task.
 
So, I have the options of more "verified statements" for City Council members.
 
My word has always been true and good.
 
I will await to see what outcome happens for the immediate removal of the illegal business to be operating and vendor vehicles being allowed to be stored, as if this rental house is a vendor business in a commercial neighborhood, and not in a residential neighborhood.
 
To me, doing "verified statements" and bringing folks to be accountable for their actions seems to be the only way to get things done legally in this City.

Over 50 days!!!! This renter has been allowed to run a commercial "Handyman" dumpster business for over 50 days in a row now!!!!! 
 
 
LEGAL
 

 

This person live on W. Elm St. two doors away from me.  Legal trailer for a "neighborhood" that is not a Category for "commercial" use.

Code Enforcement is doing illegal activities by turning the wrong way on W. Sycamore to be able to "red tag" and tow away the constant illegal business activities at 409 W. Sycamore Court, that this renter keeps on doing even he knows it is against the law, as he moves his commercial dumpsters, from time to time, when Code Enforcement tells him to do so, with my constant proofs that don't go away!!!!!!!

Can you understand the difference with pictures and laws right next to each other?
 
Is that easier for you to comprehend now that I painted the pretty picture?
 Our neighborhood is number 4.  ONLY!!!!

 Our neighborhood is not numbers 7 -9.

 
City Council allows Code Enforcement to break our residential laws for favoritism.  It is also against our ethics code for public servants...you folks.
 
Here are the pics from today for my proofs.  Updates will come daily until this is cleared up.
 
 
It is time to arrest the Police Chief for allowing Code Enforcement to allow illegal business vendor activity in our residential neighborhood on public corruption charges.
 
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.
