My star rating is a 2.5,
Mayor Katrina is an approachable person and my interactions with her have been positive; however, it is the people at city hall and especially at public works that ruin her ability to truly be the best she can be
From down right rude to patronizing, my first interaction after purchasing my first property here was getting literally (not figuratively) yelled at when I asked about waste removal by the public works director and have been met with the utmost disrespectful responses by public works employees.

Well, the next day between one of the two vendors that I made purchases with, stole my debit card information on their pay system. It's sad when a vendor could then go the very next day and spend $153.89 at Costco of your hard earned money with no concern of what that does to the victim. There should be away to vet the vendors and their pay systems being use so that unsecured pay systems are not being used. The park was full with village workers and police officers, but there is nothing in place for unsuspected people who are just there to support the venue and have a good time. First and last time for me to support any other event that Broadview Village would ever sponsor. I might be the only person that feels this way, but word of mouth is a real thing and I will be...
