What does Corey Branch hope to gain from setting up a meeting between us and the owner?
Does anyone here think we will benefit from it?
From my current point of view, I have zero interest in talking with them but am open to
another perspective. To me, it’s as simple as they either fix the problem and we are happy
or they don’t and we keep calling in complaints.

Thank you for this update Krista.
I have called when I hear it and Lt. Borneo has been to my house.
I will continue to do so when music is heard.
Neighbors: Let’s continue to call in so we can give the COR Police what they need to help
us with this issue. I know it’s a pain when we all just want to enjoy our evening instead
of being tied up in a complaint, but it is important. And this is what the Police want
from us.
Thanks to all our wonderful neighbors!

Hi, all.
I despise spending my evenings calling in noise complaints about Bowstring and waiting to
speak to cops but wanted to do more of my part (and the music was inescapable both inside
and outside of my house) so I spent two nights this week texting with Lt. Borneo and Corey
Branch and spoke with three responding officers last night.
The result is that Corey Branch is going to try to set up a meeting with us and
Bowstring's owner. He has also spoken to both the City Manager and City Atty this
week. Lt. Borneo as well as the three responding officers empathized with the fact that
neighbors are getting tired of calling in complaints and don't want to spend our time
this way but that their ability to respond is increased if they are acting on the
complaints of citizens. I have also been emailing with Maylor Cowell and the person in her
office who is responsible for the research behind the new ordinance that is going to be
proposed in October.
I am going to be gone tonight so I am looking for a couple of people who are willing to
call in a complaint when you hear them tonight. It would be best if you asked that they
come to your home BEFORE going to Bowstring so that they know what it sounds like before
Bowstring is asked to turn it down. Take them to wherever you hear it the loudest. Make
sure you point out that you are way further than 300 feet away from the venue.
For those of you who have done this before, thank you! For those of you who have yet to
take the time to do this, could you please take a turn tonight?
We can slowly educate enough people so that the actual issue will be better understood by
the time the City Council meets in October. Stay tuned for a plan to go speak to them
ahead of that meeting.
Krista
Midwood and Dennis
