Why I am having to report this is beyond me. City employees and police definitely have to slam into these holes daily.

This is a prime roadway in our city. Right near the main shopping areas and a throughway for residents
What exactly causes the city to overlook these LOOOOOOOOOOONNNG lasting problems??

Sorry everyone, I'm new here.
I don't understand how can this issue can be closed when it is not fixed? Shouldn't Haltom City be saying "acknowleged and / or reported" and then when it is fixed, close it?
Donthackme thanks for the info. And by the way, would you happen to have the Mayor or City Managers email?

When an issue is closed on this website, it doesn't necessarily mean that the issue has been resolved.
It simply means that the issue has been referred to the appropriate department for resolution. Because of the sensitive
nature of some issues, we can't always post the steps we have taken on this website. Additionally,
citizens may not always visually see things taking place while issues are being worked and some issues may
take several months to be finished. Please remember that we take each concern seriously and make every
effort to make sure it is resolved as quickly as possible.
You are welcome to contact us by phone and request more details about issues that remain unresolved.

It seems that Haltom City Staff have chosen to take the low road even with an idea as good as seeclickfix. In reading about this site I see that Haltom City is the Licensee with sole control over what issues are closed .
Too bad they abuse the citizens only online connection to their government. A funny think happened on the way to a better city, Haltom City. The Staff has used this site to promote their own agendas. Not only does the City close discussion prematurely, they have been known to completely delete threads that they are embarrass by. When Innocent Bystander talked about City properties not in compliance the entire thread disappeared!
It seems that this site has been a great revenue generator for the City. As we note things.
The City tickets our neighbors.
The City has even seen fit to budget for more tickets and Court costs as a way to make ends meet. Thanks no doubt to us writing here on SeeClickFix.
Tickets are such an easy revenue stream that City is PLANNING to raise $2,064,742 in 2011 ( see the City Budget ) through issuing tickets. This is a 37.5 % increase over last year’s ticket receipts.
37.5 % Is a really big jump! $559,000 more
Those tickets have come from somewhere. If the budget is not met, cuts in STAFF and /or salaries , will have to be made. The easiest, most practical way to increase ticket revenue is simply to write more tickets for code violations. It difficult and expensive to place more licensed police officers catching more speeders in an effort write more tickets. Besides the citizens expect the police to catch real criminals. That places the revenue grabbing responsibility on the code officers.
On a recent scheduled Court docket 69 of the 82 items to be heard were CODE violations. Code tickets START at $250 dollars.
That is why ladies and gentlemen, issues like street potholes are quickly closed and city properties in violation are deleted.
The City LOVES this site, it has control over what is heard and what is NOT heard.
The REASON they suggest you call them is there will be no more PUBLIC scrutiny and plenty of room for later denial.
