In early 2017, the Bloomington Animal Shelter migrated management software from AnimalShelterNet to Shelter Manager. We attempted to preserve as much information as possible from the old system.

The outcome fields in animal shelter are scattered in multiple fields not just one, for example Dead on arrival, Put to sleep, Movement Type and others are all considered as part of outcome.

Work orders for the public works street department

The City of Bloomington Department of Public Works - Street Division recently contracted for a citywide assessment that analyzed the current condition of streets, sidewalks, sidepaths and Americans with Disabilities Act compliant accessible curb ramps. This project builds upon a similar effort that was last performed in 2017-2018 by the Public Works Department and updates the condition data that was collected at that time for these important transportation assets.

The City of Bloomington contracted with a firm to conduct a citywide survey of street pavement conditions. As part of this effort, real-time conditions regarding the City of Bloomington's approximately 15,000 street signs were also collected during the late fall of 2017. This was done through field inspections utilizing the use of Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology. LIDAR is much more time efficient than visual data collection, allows for real-time data collection and provides more uniform and accurate reporting.

Annual statistics about operations of the Parking Services Division of the Public Works Department. The Parking Services Division has responsibility for all parking operations, including meter enforcement and collections, meter maintenance, special events, customer service, the school crossing guard program, parking permit sales and distribution, citing illegally parked vehicles, and managing and maintaining the City's 4 structured parking facilities and 5 surface parking lots.

Several notes on these statistics:

The Parking Services Division formally began operations in January of 2021. It merged the former Parking Facilities Division of the Public Works Department (which was responsible only for managing operations of the City's parking garages) with the Parking Enforcement Division of the Bloomington Police Department. Additionally, customer support personnel for many parking functions had previously been members of the City Controller's Office, but were moved to the Parking Services Division beginning in 2021.

Data regarding the yearly operations of the Sanitation Division of Public Works. Sanitation is responsible for providing weekly collection and disposal of household solid waste and curbside recycling pick-up, as well as seasonal bi-weekly yard waste from residences inside the corporate City limits.

Sanitation also collects large items, such as furniture and appliances, from residences on a request basis. Additionally, Sanitation provides trash collection for City Hall, downtown containers, City parks, various City facilities and numerous special events in the community.

A couple of notes regarding these statistics:

The City of Bloomington Sanitation Modernization Program officially launched in October 2017. This program eliminated trash and yard waste stickers in favor of directly billing customers for their monthly trash cart rentals and yard waste pick-ups via their utility bills.

Also part of the modernized sanitation program, the City of Bloomington's recycling operations converted from co-mingled to single stream collection in 2017. This means that all recyclable materials (metal, cans, glass, fiber, paper, etc.) are now all collected together instead of separately.

Additionally, fiber and scrap rebates provided to the City of Bloomington by its recycling provider were effectively ended in 2017. This was largely due to major changes in international demand and fluctuations in the domestic commodities market.
