Often it is confusing about who to contact in the City about street, sidewalk, drainage, trash, and many other issues.  Following is a simple procedure that is likely to get the quickest response or at least to log your concern and document it if action is not forthcoming.

1. The first and best stop should be the MAC, the Mayor’s Action Center:  http://maps.indy.gov/RequestIndy/

Your complaints may fall into one of the many categories at the site which are easy to select.  The major categories include Most Common; Animals; Streets, Signs & Signals; The Environment; Trash, Graffiti & Dumping; Zoning Violations & Abandoned Vehicles; and Additional Request Information.  Many complaints are quickly handled this way.

Each submittal is acknowledged and assigned a reference number and the map helps you locate the precise spot where the problem exists.  You may also request a follow-up call about your issue too.

2. The second option is to call or FAX the MAC to explain your problem.  The MAC can be contacted at 317-327-4622 or FAX a written explanation to the MAC at 317-327-5424.   You may also request a follow-up call about your issue too.

3. In the event that your issue does not fall into an easy category for MAC, is more complicated, or an issue which may be outside of the norm, you should contact the Mayor’s Neighborhood Liaison, Mark Warner by email at Mark.Warner@indy.gov or by phone at (317) 327-5380 or cell at (317) 429-7807.  Photographs of the issue in question and its exact location are extremely helpful in such situations.  Mark can then forward your issue to the proper City department.

When writing Mark Warner, it would be appreciated useful if you could copy the MKNA Infrastructure Committee at bookmanjerrey@yahoo.com or call us at 317-201-5095 so that we can follow-up with Mark Warner about your concern.

The above approach will speed your issue to the right department or people within the City and in particular within the Department of Public Works (DPW)

Thanks for your concern and involvement about maintaining Meridian-Kessler’s infrastructure.  Please know that you may be the only person who knows of an issue until you make the contacts outlined above.  You are seeing it!
