City of Omaha Parks, Recreation and Public Property

7 city workers came onto my property after valiant efforts To comply with city ordinance. Worker never came back out to see the progress made on a litter citation. They came for an RV and Volkswagen, which had already been removed from the property and began to take things of value, Art, Tools (new ones) Sculpture, My current painting along with the easel. Bronze and copper ingots. My lawnmower, Two e bikes . And then they called the cops on me when I hit him with the water hose. They act like a bunch of thugs. It wouldn’t surprise me if all of them were on work release or had some kind of criminal background because they act like gangsters.. this ordeal has traumatized me, And I have a deep sense of loss every time I walk out to my yard, My property, my business, my tools, a power wall of batteries (expensive) for a solar unit, cat homes, Live traps, My kids basketball hoop which I was moving to accommodate the new fence that we’ve been Installing all week …. Yeah fellas , I’m pissed. All of this because two houses down is getting flipped and yes, that RV was an eyesore, but it wasn’t even mine. We gotta stop calling on each other and start working together as neighbors as a community. I truly believe had city worker Ed the person who started working with us on the complaint in the very beginning, If he had been there that day he would’ve stopped the workers and told them this guy and his wife has done quite a bit since we’ve been here. Let’s cut them some slack on the tools and Art it’s his Livelihood… Here’s my 2 questions, 1. Does the city hire thugs with criminal records to exploit their unique talents in knocking down homeless shelters, and what they deem as litter or trash? 2. Who ultimately decides and matters concerning art what goes in the dumpster and what doesn’t. I had some sculptures stay, while Others were crushed in a bulldozer. Are your city workers qualified to make that assessment does policy need to change if you’re on my property taking my maybe you should have cameras on, Mine were….

We moved in 4 years ago along the Mission Park trail. This tree has been absolutely dead the full time. There are piles of deed trees that are never removed! These are fire hazards. Yesterday, these trees came down across the path, they are liability & danger to walkers. Us & our neighbors have tried to remove dead & dangerous trees, we are not adapt to clean this up. I called yesterday & the Parks Department would not answer their phone & left a message. I called the Mayor's hotline to get through. Many grade school & middle school children walk this path to school daily. It is not safe

I am writing in concern to the constant popping of the noise from the skeet range. This should be considered noise pollution. It needs to be further out somewhere where neighborhoods don't have to listen to it. I have complained before but it fell on deaf ears. As long it's not bothering their space it seemed ok with them.

If I could give zero stars I would. The staff that works at the park are rude and harassed us the entire visit. He even tried stealing other campers equipment. The park supervisor just yelled when I informed him of that and told me that's the way it is here at this park. Had to call the mayor's Hotline to inform them of the scandalous activities here at lake Cunningham campground. None of the employees will give you there name and are not suited to work with customers. Stay at your own risk of rudeness and theft by the employees.

They have so many great and affordable programs, and the instructors are always so kind and fun. We've done swim lessons and summer camps and children's events and day hikes and I'm always impressed with the quality.
