I have a next-door neighbor they have firewood, stack inches away from my fence and laying on the ground and have been sitting there for two years with none of it being used is full of mice potential for termites and other critters called the health department and they came over and all they could do was suggest to her to Stack thefirewood because it wasn’t City code. I looked, it said, have the firewood stacked off the ground, which makes sense. I called the health department a couple days later and told him that I need to stack wood in my backyard and one of the regulations and they told me 12 inches off the ground and away from the property line, but then when I called her supervisor all he said is there’s not a City code. All we can do is make suggestions, but all I can find is where it says to put your wood off the ground. These people are lazy. They put the taxpayer beneath them act like we are peasants and they should be ashamed of their selves. And they should remember who pays their salaries

Gone there for years. Everything was fine, but today I got turned away when I went for my scheduled appointment. I can see that they have Changed their staff at the dental assistant desk. The previous staff were much more kind and mature. I am disappointed by today's events. I hope there will be more kind people in the dental department in the near future.

We had our entry medicals and the staff so friendly and professional 10/10 rating. So use to waiting hours and then dealing with unfriendly medical workers not here. Thank you so much.

This park is spacious and filled with trees. There is one sand volleyball area next to the baseball diamond. There is a gazebo work out area and playground. This park has (1) half court basketball area.

I called four separate times and spoke with Alyssa those four times regarding the website and getting my city alcohol permit, that I was directed to redo the ordinance reviews as well as the interactive exam. I proceeded to do so called back because I still could not get the exam pulled up to retake it and I was told that it would be allowing me to take the test, she ended up restarting my state training and did nothing for the city one when I reached back out I was told that the old website causes a lot of issues and I would need to Repay and Restart both of my permits as well as make a new account on the new website and I would be reimbursed weeks later. Continued to tell me the old website has this problem consistently, I would not have had a problem with repaying and making a new account if I would have been instructed to do so from the beginning or since the first call. Instead of wasting my time retaking the quizzes and reviews, do better at informing and directing people in the right direction.
