Unfortunatley, for the residence of Fredericksburg City, this is status quo for how they deal with complaints; if they deal with them at all. The only way I have found to get unpleasantries handled is to blog about them. I've been asked to call the city before I post anything else to my blog in the future. Well, that's not going to happen. My husband's been calling the city for 3 years about an alley issue and we've never been called back. I'll be blogging about that in the near future. Thanks for you comment about this matter!

The ISSUE here is City officials not knowing the ordinances they enforce on the rest of us, and the fact that the contractor was working outside the boundaries of the ordinance. Also noticed was that although told he could work until 9 PM, he was Still working well beyond THAT time limit. That in my book would deserve a fine if you are applying your own rules fairly.

I take issue with paying defaulting borrowers money if they fail or their lender fails to approve a short sale. Short sales are not a scheme. There is no magic bullet. It is a very serious transaction and shouldn't be treated like an infomercial. Shut the front door!

Especially if the seller signs anything that might keep the door open for the bank to come back years after the transaction looking for their money. Huh? Well, it's complicated...

As we discussed, I had been told in the past that the parking lot in question was for official city vehicles. This was a conversation that was had several years ago. Since moving closer to the Community Center I have observed that the majority of the time the parking lot is solely occupied by offical city vehicles. I also find it amlost unforgiveable for a Public Works employee to not be aware of the city noise ordinance. If I had made the same mistake while my home was under construction I'm sure I would have heard from the city and been subject to penalties. If I'm not mistaken, this is the same noise ordinance that the city uses to promote another ordinance pertaining to more than 3 unrelated people living in a dwelling. (I've blogged about this in the past, as well). I do appreciate the apology and the action you took to make sure that the neighborhood would not be subjected to the same activity the following night, but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. I'm sure you would feel the same if you were living in my house. Thank you Mr. Fawcett for calling me on Friday to discuss my concerns about the late night construction.

A member of the Public Works Department erroneously told the contractor that work was permitted until 9pm. No waiver of the noise ordinance restrictions was issued by the City Manager. The contractor has been directed to cease work at the site by 7pm this evening (August 12) and that work may begin no earlier than 9am tomorrow. The project should be completed tomorrow. Finally, reference is made in the post to the parking lot being reserved for City vehicles. This is incorrect. The lot is open to those attending classes, events or meetings or otherwise conducting business at the community center.
