Well,
while
they're
filing
in
I
I
just
like
take
a
moment-
and
this
is
quite
a
privilege
for
me
to
be
able
to
stand
in
front
of
you
and
bring
you
one
of
the
newer
members
of
our
fire
department
who
has
completed
his
12-month
probation-
it's
usually
reserved
for
the
chief
and
he
had
something
come
up.
So
it
fell
to
me-
and
this
is
a
great
moment
so
I'd
like
to
tell
you
something
about
our
newest
member
here-
firefighter
Chris
Moore.
He
is,
he
grew
up
in
the
northwest
suburbs
of
Chicago.
F
We
brought
him
down
past
IAT.
So
now
he's
one
of
us.
He
is
proud
to
continue
the
legacy
of
fire
service
in
his
family.
He's
guy
has
his
father
here
who
he
served
with
in
Prospect
Heights
now
in
Huntley
that
my
understanding
he
had
the
Chris
has
had
the
privilege
to
respond
to
Hurricane
Katrina
with
Mabus
division.
Three.
He
brings
a
lot
of
experience
with
him.
F
He
received
a
humanitarian
award
from
the
Illinois
Fire
Chiefs
he's
a
proud
father
of
Cameron
aged
four,
and
he
says
he
feels
very
blessed
to
to
be
here
and
we
are
very
blessed
to
have
him
here.
He
brings
a
lot
of
experience.
All
the
evaluations
that
have
come
back
from
his
officers
before
they
run
out
of
here
brings
a
lot
of
experience.
His
officers
have
indicated
that
he
is
going
to
be
a
true
asset
to
this
fire
department,
we're
hoping
that
he
stays
around
for
a
long
long
time.
H
B

I

A
We

a

the
contributions

and
women

A
Okay,

were

the

right.
If

please

Thank

A
Thank

Next,
the

here
we
want
to
give

Thank
you
for
her
effort
and
Kelby

to
the
property
maintenance
review
board.
Kelby.
Are
you
here?
I,
don't
see
him?
Okay,
thank
you.
Kelvin
at
this
time
would
go
to
a
public
comment
and
I
just
want
to
clarify
that.
A
For
those
of
you
who
are
interested
in
getting
some
immediate
answers
or
problem-solve
or
information,
we
do
have
a
mainers
open
house
on
Friday,
before
every
regular
Monday
city
council
meeting
from
4:30
to
5:30.
You
don't
have
to
make
an
appointment.
You
just
sit
around
come
on
over
to
the
fishbowl,
ask
questions
or
listen.
It
doesn't
have
to
deal
with
anything,
that's
necessarily
on
the
agenda.
A
It
could
be
anything
so
if
you
want
some
immediate
answers
or
if
you
want
to
engage
in
dialogue
with
your
fellow
citizens,
that's
certainly
where
I
would
recommend
that
you
come
in
terms
of
public
comment
or
our
policy
is
that
and
practice
that
we
do
not
respond.
So
at
this
point
you
have
up
to
three
minutes
and
to
address
the
council
and
the
public
and
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
begin
with
Dale
stress
on
bail.
H
K
L
K
You
Dan
thank
you
for
inviting
us
here
tonight.
My
name
is
Dale
Straus
I
am
I'm
very,
very
honored
to
come
tonight
and
speak
in
support
of
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
project
that
is
before
you
tonight.
I
had
the
real
privilege
of
working
there
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
and
had
the
privilege
of
meeting
staff
and
meeting
families
and
meeting
parents
and
meeting
all
the
children
that
were
there
because
I
served
there
for
about
six
months
and
in
that
time,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
see
the
amazing
things
that
happened.
K
It's
almost
universal
opinions
from
people
at
the
club
and
the
families
and
the
staff
and
the
board,
but
also
from
city
of
Bloomington
people
and
town
and
normal
people
on
how
much
they
look
forward
to
seeing
the
club
have
a
new
home
someday
on
the
west
side
and
I.
Just
here
to
say,
I
think
this
is
a
tremendous
opportunity
for
these
children
to
have
a
good
place
close
to
home,
where
they
can
be
an
environment
where
they
can
grow
and
learn
and
turn
to
be
really
productive.
K
M
I
would
like
to
say
that
it's
against
the
law
and
you
have
taken
an
oath
of
office
to
uphold
the
constitutional
law
and
putting
this
ordinance
in
place
is
not
doing
that.
In
my
opinion,
there
have
been
some
things
said
by
the
other
groups
that
have
been
trying
to
push
this
ordinance
their
stories
about
people
that
have
had
hard
times
and
struggled.
M
We
all
have
struggles
that
they're
not
they're,
afraid
that
they
may
not
be
able
to
go
to
the
police
departments
and
if
something
is
wrong
or
if
they've
been
hurt
or
if
a
crime
has
been
committed,
there's
already
something
in
place
for
them.
It's
called
it
u-visa
and
that
they
can
go
to
the
police
department.
The
u-visa
protects
them
from
being
deported
and
them
in
their
family
have
three
years
to
start
the
process
to
get
to
become
an
American
citizen.
So
that
just
seems
like
a
false
present.
A
presence
to
me.
M
I,
don't
know
this.
It
just
seems
like
this
is
all
being
brought
forth
about
feelings
and
feelings:
don't
trump
the
law.
This
has
to
be
done
lawfully.
In
my
opinion,
I,
don't
think
an
ordinance
is
needed.
There
is
nothing
that
is
wrong
with
what
is
going
on
right
now
and
I
see
that
it
could
bring
trouble
in
the
future.
If
it
is
passed,
federal
funding
cuts
ice
showing
up.
You
know
it
just
causes
a
lot
of
problems
in
the
future,
from
what
I
see.
So.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
N
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
fellow
council,
people
again,
as
stated,
my
name
is
Darrin
Brandt
I've
been
a
member
of
the
board
of
directors
for
the
Boys
&
Girls
Club
for
over
five
years,
with
total
involvement
at
the
club
for
nearly
15
years,
I've
seen
firsthand
the
increase
in
membership
at
the
club,
which
has
caused
the
club
to
burst
at
the
seams
in
recent
years.
Not
only
is
the
current
building
not
large
enough
to
accommodate
the
current
a
number
of
members,
it
will
obviously
not
allow
for
continued
increase
in
enrollment.
N
Additionally,
the
building
is
beyond
repair,
which
makes
it
financially
irresponsible
for
the
club
to
continue
to
put
money
into
making
repairs
or
to
expand
at
its
current
site.
Now
by
the
grace
of
God,
I
was
born
into
a
middle-class
family
and
didn't
have
to
go
without
much
of
anything
as
a
child
growing
up.
However,
the
kids
that
attend
this
club
truly
need
a
safe
and
welcoming
place
to
go
where
they
are
cared
for
by
loving
adults
who
only
want
what's
best
for
them.
N
The
club
is
also
a
place
where
they
might
receive
their
only
meal
of
the
day
during
summer
months,
by
voting
yes
to
allowing
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
to
lease
or
purchase
the
land
at
Sunnyside
Park,
thousands
of
future
kids
would
be
able
to
benefit
from
a
new
facility
that
would
be
built
within
walking
distance
of
many
of
these
kids
homes.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
O
Thank
You
mayor
Thank,
You,
alderman,
I,
guess,
first
of
all,
I
know
Tony
more
sadder
and
I
volunteered
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
It's
a
great
organization
and
it's
nice
to
see
the
new
facility
coming
to
fruition.
I
know
I
talked
to
Tony
about
that.
So
that's
that's
great.
Also,
I
wanted
to
I'm
sorry
jeff
kraebel,
Ward,
8
I
also
wanted
to
say
how
fun
Bloomington
101
has
been
I
want
to
thank
Nora,
duhkha
wits
for
a
great
program.
You
really
get
an
idea
of
what
the
city
is
about.
O
Think
I
directed
a
comment
to
aldermen
Schmidt
saying
her
conduct
was
shameful
and
I
apologize
for
that
and
I
know
it's
been
tough,
but
sometimes
emotions
can
can
get
the
better
of
us
and-and-and,
but
I
do
want
to
address
the
welcoming
city
ordinance.
We
had
some
people
outside
protesting
tonight,
which
is
great.
It's
always
good,
I
think
to
express
yourselves,
but
but
it's
also
okay
to
scrutinize
the
message
a
little.
So
the
message
is
sanctuary:
City
kills,
cities,
kill
and
and
I
think,
there's
some
improper
assumptions
with
that.
The
the
first
assumption
is
the
sanctuary.
O
Cities
will
attract
undocumented
immigrants.
The
second
assumption
is
that
undocumented
immigrants
will
commit
crime
and
will
kill
people,
and
there's
no
evidence
of
that.
If
you
noticed
a
couple
weeks
ago
in
the
pantograph,
there
was
a
column
by
Esther
Cepeda
that
cited
statistics
that
that's
actually
incorrect,
so
I
also.
O
So
this
is
another
pollutant
one
on
one
thing,
I
get
to
do
a
mock
council
meeting,
that's
Thursday,
and
this
is
what
I
got
to
read,
but
I
wanted
to
point
out
17
seconds,
okay
in
the
logo,
it
talks
about
modern,
progressive
style
diversity
in
our
community
community
that
is
friendly
and
safe,
and
the
mission
is
to
lead,
leads,
serve
and
uplift,
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
the
values
is
to
be
inclusive.
Thank
you.
Thank.
P
Unfort
sanctuary
city
ordinance
goes
through.
You
know
why
wasn't
this
not
put
to
the
voters
and
if
it
goes
through,
why
you
know
what
is
guarantee?
Do
you
have
that
the
crime
is
not
gonna
go
up,
I've
got
a
sister-in-law
that
she
was
born
in
another
country.
She
went
through
the
naturalization
process,
got
her
citizenship
legally,
she
didn't
crawl
under
the
fence.
P
The
roads
in
this
town
are
absolutely
pathetic
and
I
know
you
get
tired
of
me
hearing
this
and
Jim
gets
tired
of
me
talking
about
this,
but
the
roads
are
absolutely
terrible.
There's
a
hunk
out
of
a
road
and
I've
seen
I've
lost
a
hubcap
before
damaged
ruined
attire
just
from
driving
on
these
lousy
roads
and
I.
Wonder
if
they're
that
way
and
all
of
the
city
or
just
where
the
elite
elite
live,
you
know
I,
don't
know
Terry,
but
it
really
begins
to
make
me
wonder:
where
are
our
priorities?
P
You
know
I
know
you
don't
like
to
hear
this,
but
I
really
have
a
concern
about
the
roads
in
this
town
and
I
have
a
concern
about
the
sanctuary
city
ordinance
that
you're
trying
to
ram
down
our
throats
and
I.
Don't
think,
like
I
said
before,
get
the
people
that
get
their
citizenship
legally
and
don't
crawl
under
the
fence.
P
I
tell
you
what
you
took
up
a
good
share
of
the
time,
speaking
on
Friday
night,
and
it
may
have
without
extending
the
citizens
input
meeting
where
the
people
were
able
to
talk.
You
made
your
exit
in
3,600
seconds.
You
didn't
care
if
anybody
else
got
to
talk.
Just
so,
Terry
got
to
talk
and
I
have
a
problem
with
that.
A
big
problem.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
Q
Hi,
my
name
is
Holly
Houska.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
the
council.
I
am
the
Resource
Development
chair
for
the
board
of
directors
for
the
Boys
&
Girls
Club.
It
is
a
volunteer
position
that
I
have
held
for
the
past
three
years
and
a
volunteer
position
that
I
will
say,
could
equal
a
full-time
job
and
I
want
to
share
with
you
the
reason
that
I
devote
that
kind
of
time
to
this
organization
is
that
I
believe
in
it.
Q
So
fully
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
provides
services
to
use
in
our
community
that
are
unduplicated
by
the
numerous
other,
wonderful
social
service
agencies
and
nonprofits.
That
Bloomington
has
to
offer
our
mission
to
enable
young
people
to
reach
their
full
potential,
as
caring
contributing
citizens
of
our
community
is
a
pretty
powerful
one.
We
have
an
epidemic
of
children
at
risk
in
our
hometown
and
we
need
to
face
that
truth.
We
are
a
a
wonderful
community
and
there
is
a
a
very
unaddressed
population
on
our
west
side,
especially
that
really
needs
our
help.
Q
Q
Statistics
tell
us
that
students
who
are
not
reading
at
grade
level
by
the
completion
of
third
grade
have
a
25%
more
likely
chance
of
dropping
out
of
high
school.
Those
high
school
dropouts
have
a
68%
greater
chance
of
being
incarcerated.
So
when
you
couple
those
statistics,
we
realize
we're
not
just
helping
the
families
and
the
children
of
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
This
is
a
community-wide
issue
that
we
will
all
face
at
some
level
at
some
time.
Q
This
opportunity,
though,
unprecedented,
creates
a
wonderful
possible
precedent
for
the
city
to
step
up
and
recognize
our
underserved
our
underprivileged
and
to
lend
a
helping
hand
up
not
a
handout
to
those
who
are
trying
very
hard
to
realize
the
opportunities
that
some
of
us
have
in
life.
80%
of
our
parents
are
in
the
workforce.
Q
80%
of
our
parents
are
working
1
2,
sometimes
even
three
jobs
to
make
ends
meet.
Our
children
are
coming
home
as
latchkey
kids
to
empty
households
and
they
come
to
a
safe
haven
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
where
they
have
adult
mentorship.
They
have
educational,
tutoring
and
training.
They
have
a
CT
prep.
They
have
the
opportunity
to
succeed
that
I
think
we
all
want
for
our
youth,
so
I
encourage
you
greatly
to
consider
this
partnership.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
Thank.
A
R
S
A
A
I've
got
two
people
already
to
make
the
motion
on
seven
llama.
Okay,
all
them
in
black
will.
U
A
V
Thank
You
Marin
council
tonight,
I'm
not
gonna,
take
much
time
I
when
I
handed
over
to
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
This
is
another
opportunity
for
a
public-private
partnership
that
we'd
love
to
bring
to
you.
We've
had
multiple
meetings
with
the
staff
and
board
of
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
and
for
this
for
I
guess
the
audience
as
well:
Sunnyside
Park
and
what
the
land
west
of
Sunset
Park
is
the
is
for
the
discussion
tonight.
W
Good
evening
I'm
Rex
Shafer
I'm,
the
president
of
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
Board
of
Directors
and
I'm
here
to
put
forth
our
request
to
the
city
it
is.
It
is
for
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
and
the
city
to
enter
into
an
agreement.
That's
acceptable
to
both
for
the
use
of
3.25
acres
at
the
East
End
of
Sunnyside
park
too,
for
us
to
build
a
new
facility
that
that
least,
that
might
be
in
the
form
of
a
lease
or
it
could
potentially
be
in
the
sale.
W
An
outright
sale
determined
upon
what
is
in
the
best
interest
for
the
city
as
well
as
the
club
and-
and
we
will
leave
that
to
your
consideration
afterwards.
We
also
as
a
part
of
this
proposal.
What
the
one
item
that
would
that
is
currently
there
that
would
would
be
moved
is
a
softball
diamond
that
is
at
the
east
and
what
what
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
will
do
as
a
part
of
this
project
is
to
replace
that
diamond
and
grade
and
seed
the
land.
W
Just
to
the
me
at
west
of
the
of
the
area
that
we're
looking
at
the
third
piece
is
to
mean
that
we're
looking
at
with
this
is
also
that
we
will
maintain
the
flow
and
detention
for
water
and,
lastly,
the
relocation
of
existing
utilities
as
to
sewer
lines
that
are
currently
where
we're
going
to
build
with
that.
As
as
to
the
presentation
I'm
going
to
introduce
our
CEO,
which
is
Tony
Maurstad
er,
who
will
go
on
through
the
presentation.
Thank
you.
X
You
Thank
You
Rex
and
thank
you
Jay
and
Thank
You
Terry
and
the
council
for
having
us
come
in
and
speak
with
you
this
evening
as
Rex
laid
it
out
and
Holly
spoke
to
earlier.
Our
mission
is
to
empower
all
young
people,
especially
those
who
need
us
most
to
reach
their
full
potential
as
caring,
trusting
responsible
citizens
in
our
community.
X
As
you
can
see,
I
out
a
packet
I
know,
I
had
sent
something
earlier
last
week
and
I
had
made
some
modifications
to
that.
But
over
the
past
five
years
we've
seen
a
lot
of
growth.
Dramatic
growth
within
our
organization,
as
Darren
had
had
mentioned
earlier,
we've
reached
capacity
at
where
we're
at.
We
would
love
to
be
able
to
serve
more
kids
in
our
community,
but
we
have
to
do
that
in
a
safe
and
secure
way,
and
we
feel
like
the
size
of
our
building.
X
The
number
of
youth
that
we're
serving,
which
is
at
risk
of
providing
a
safe
environment
not
only
for
our
kids,
physically
emotionally,
but
also
for
our
staff
and
for
our
volunteers.
So,
as
you
can
see
in
the
packet
since
2013,
we've
increased
our
almost
doubled
our
registered
members,
as
Holly
had
mentioned,
we
serve
just
under
a
thousand
kids
in
our
community,
both
members
and
other
youth
in
our
community
we've
increased
our
staff.
You
know
in
order
to
serve
more
kids,
we
have
to
have
more
trained
young
adults
to
help
be
those
role.
X
Models
for
our
youth
we've
got.
Volunteers
haven't
changed
much,
but
the
community
is
amazing.
It
truly
is
my
wife
and
I
moved
to
Bloomington
in
2001,
and
we
wanted
to
raise
our
family
here
and
when
I
started
this
position.
Last
year,
last
Jan
you
I
really
got
a
true
feeling
of
how
blessed
we
are
to
live
in
bloomington-normal.
Our
community
is
amazing
and,
as
you
can
see,
I
mean
just
four
hundred
volunteers,
help
support
our
organization
and
there's
so
many
more
organizations
in
our
community
that
they
support
support.
X
X
Last
year
we
served
over
350
teams
in
our
community
and
we
want
to
continue
to
grow
not
only
serving
teens
but
serving
our
K
through
fifth
graders
or
our
six
through
11
ten
year
olds.
So
you
can
also
see
a
number
of
meals
served.
Every
one
of
our
members
get
a
meal
when
they
come
in
off
the
bus,
they
put
their
backpacks
away,
they
go,
they
wash
their
hands,
and
last
year
we
served
just
under
thirty
three
thousand
meals
to
the
youth
in
our
community.
X
Some
more
statistics
about
our
2017
membership
and
families,
we're
pretty
close
to
about
fifty
percent
female
fifty
percent
male,
the
the
there's
three
things
that
really
strike
me
and
that
I
that
I,
we
as
an
organization
pride
ourselves
in
and
that's
a
hundred
percent
of
our
members,
advance
to
the
next
grade
level.
Over
the
past
three
years,
that's
been
consistent
over
the
past
three
years,
a
hundred
percent
of
our
seniors
have
graduated
and
moved
on
to
the
workforce.
X
Back
in
2014,
the
city
of
Bloomington
conducted
their
copper
or
created
their
comprehensive
plan,
and
in
that
comprehensive
plan
it
was
identified
that
there's
a
lack
of
affordable
activities,
after-school
activities
for
our
low-income
or
disadvantaged
youth,
and
that's
what
that's
what
the
Boys
&
Girls
Club
is
about.
It
costs
us
roughly
five
hundred
twenty
three
dollars
a
year
to
provide
programs
for
our
members.
We
charge
our
families
twenty-five
dollars
a
year,
but
we
don't
turn
any
families
away
so
we're
here.
We
appreciate
what
all
of
our
staff
do
and
we
try.
X
As
Darren
said
earlier,
we
have
to
be
good
stewards
of
our
funds
in
order
to
serve
more
kids
Jay
had
mentioned
earlier.
We
have
been
in
several
meetings
with
the
city
of
Bloomington,
the
parks
and
recs
and
cultural
arts
department
to
discuss
the
potential
of
a
partnership
at
Sunnyside
Park.
What
does
that
look
like
in
the
future?
X
The
Boys
&
Girls
Club
operates
in
the
evening,
we're
2:30
to
6:30
in
the
evening
we're
an
after-school
program.
There
are
some
evenings
that
we
have
teen,
Club,
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays
are
a
little
bit
later,
but
during
the
day,
it's
just
the
administration
or
the
administrative
staff.
So
there's
an
opportunity
for
partnership,
potentially
in
the
future,
to
provide
senior
programming
or
programming
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
During
the
day.
X
Last
Tuesday
we
hosted
a
Sunnyside
neighborhood
meeting
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
just
to
get
a
feel
for
what
our
neighbors
had
to
say
about
our
vision
for
new
Boys
and
Girls
Club
in
our
community,
and
we
didn't
get
a
lot
of
turnout
at
that
meeting.
But
as
we
were
walking
around
the
neighborhood
knocking
door
door-to-door
or
speaking
with
our
neighbors,
there
wasn't
a
single
one
of
them
that
were
that
was
against
this
idea.
X
They
were
very
appreciative
of
everything
that
we've
done
up
to
this
point,
not
only
for
our
kids,
but
for
our
community
I
will
say
there
was
the
only
the
only
concern
that
I
heard
was
one
of
our
neighbors
that
had
lived
there
for
60
plus
years
she's
she's
concerned
of,
what's
going
to
happen
to
the
building,
and
we
reassured
her
that
that
we're
concerned
about
that
too,
and
and
there
we
have
other
ideas
for
our
current
space
as
well.
X
X
So,
as
we
discussed,
we
talked
about
Sunnyside
Park.
This
image
right
here
is
a
rough
one
to
see
with
the
glare,
but
on
the
corner
of
Illinois
Erickson
street.
There's
a
softball
baseball
field
in
the
five
years
I've
been
involved
in
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
I
may
have
seen
that
ball
diamond
used
three
times
outside
of
Boys
and
Girls
Club
programming.
X
X
So
that's
an
aerial
view
and
then,
if
you
look
at
the
shadow
here,
that
would
be
a
potential
future
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
and
what
we
were
asked
to
do
is
create
an
updated
space,
needs
analysis
and
we
dreamt
big
and
we
didn't
want
to
have
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
say
you
know
we
forgot
this
or
we
didn't
include
this.
So
so
we
looked
at
everything
we
came
up
with
what
our
dream
look
like.
X
We're
also
working
with
city
officials
and
as
we
consider
this
project
Rex
had
mentioned
that
we
will
relocate
utilities.
We
will
help
align
ourselves
with
the
city
of
Bloomington,
Comprehensive
Plan
and
redevelop
3.27
plus
acres
of
green
space
on
the
far
west
side
of
Sunnyside
park,
and
that
would
be
where
the
blue
kind
of
curve
is
and
the
yellow
line.
In
addition
to
that,
we're
looking
at
detention
and
the
water
flow
and
all
that
will
be
based
and
approved
through
city
city
officials
in
the
city
engineers.
X
So
again,
what
we're
asking
to
the
City
Council
is
that
you
consider
leasing
or
selling
3.27
acres
of
the
east
side
of
Sunnyside
park
to
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
for
a
future
home,
not
only
for
our
community
but
for
our
kids
before
I.
Before
we
close
our
presentation,
I
want
to
introduce
the
council
to
our
2017
youth
of
the
year
desi
Adams.
Y
For
a
long
time,
I've
been
dreaming
of
having
a
new
building
for
us
to
go
to.
The
club
is
like
a
second
home
for
me,
the
club
for
me
and
for
the
rest
of
the
kids
at
the
club.
They
help
us
in
education
and
developing
our
own
personality
and
characters.
They've
helped
teens
get
jobs.
They
help
the
kids
with
homework
and
succeed
in
school
and
I
feel
like
with
the
new
building.
We
can
definitely
open
up
doors
to
a
lot
more
people
and
be
able
to
provide
that
opportunity.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration.
Y
L
A
T
Z
Staff
right:
yes,
that's
right!
We're
looking
for
direction
tonight
to
pursue
an
agreement,
I
think
staffs
initial
recommendation
is
it
would
look
more
like
a
long-term
lease
that
way
we
would
maintain
control
of
the
land
we
put
within
the
least
the
you
know,
the
applicable
provisions
for
the
use
and
our
use
and
all
of
those
details.
But
if
the
council
felt
strongly,
we
could
look
at
other
options
for
that
as
well,
but
we
are
looking
for
direction
from
the
council
as
to
whether
to
go
back
and
work
out.
Those
details
with
the
club.
Z
So
some
of
the
reasons
we've
we've
kind
of
talked
about
a
lease
is
that
we
would
still
own
the
parkland
and
that's
something
that
I
think
has
been
important
to
the
parks
department
that
we
would
still
technically
own
the
land
and
within
this
lease
we
envision
terms
being
worked
out
about.
As
the
club
talked
about
you
know,
we
may
have
some
joint
use
of
this
building.
That
would
be
worked
out
within
the
within
the
lease,
and
this
would
be
an
opportunity
for
us
to
also
work
out.
Z
You
know
there
will
be
some
some
strange
boundaries
to
this.
We've
talked
about
maybe
trying
to
subdivide
this,
but
it's
it's
going
to
be
a
kind
of
a
unique
boundary
line
to
it
as
well.
So,
just
all
in
all
the
thought
being
that
we
would
we
would
go
with
the
lease
if
we
went
with
a
sale.
You
know
that's
it.
You
know
we
divest
of
the
property
we
we'd
have
to
have
some
sort
of
provision
in
there.
Z
Obviously
we
we
assume
that
they're
going
to
be
successful
and
they're
fundraising,
but
you
know
we'd
want
some
provisions
in
there
about
that.
They'd
have
to
start
construction
within
so
many
days,
and
you
know
so
that
that,
in
some
situation-
and
this
would
be
true
with
the
lease
to
that-
it
would
revert
back
to
us
that
they
were
not
successful
in
getting
this
program
to
go
forward.
So
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
other
questions.
But
those
were
some
of
the
initial
thoughts
that
we
had.
Thank.
U
R
You
I
had
an
opportunity
to
visit
the
club
with
Tony
and
I
had
to
agreed
that
the
the
conditions
there
are,
let
me
see,
trying
to
find
a
good
word
precarious,
but
yet
you're
doing
a
excellent
job.
You
know
with
what
you
have
so
I
had
to
agree
that
something
needs
to
be
done.
I
wanted
to
know
how
many
more
you
know,
kids
and
teens
you
know
are
you're
expecting
to
serve
after
this
building
is
built.
Yes,.
X
G
I've
had
the
good
fortune
to
be
able
to
volunteer
at
the
club
as
well,
like
all
the
mom,
Lee
and
I
I
really
appreciate
you
know,
given
that
I
have
no
kids,
that
they,
let
me
help
in
the
team's
own
and
not
the
little
kids
area.
So
that
was
great
for
me.
I
could
just
help
with
some
homework
questions
and
stuff,
but
I
guess
this
is
more
question
for
Jai.
Maybe
Jeff.
Are
there
any
downsides
to
leasing
versus
selling
right
there's
positives,
but
are
there
any
downsides?
Yeah.
Z
So
certainly,
if
we
lease
it,
we're
still
going
to
be
the
owner
of
the
property.
So
if
somebody
gets
hurt
on
the
property,
the
city
is
going
to
be
named
in
that
lawsuit
now,
I
think
our
liability
and
through
the
lease
terms,
would
be
mitigated,
but
I
I
could
not
stand
up
here
and
guarantee
to
you
that
we
would
not
be
part
of
that
type
of
a
lawsuit.
You
also,
then,
have
a
situation
where
you
know
you've
got
now.
Z
You
know,
presumably
20
30
years
down
the
road,
a
building
on
here
that
might
be
aging
or
40
years
down
the
road,
and
so
you
know
the
upkeep
of
that
and
that
type
of
thing
you
you're
essentially
taking
on
the
role
of
a
landlord.
We
have
not
sat
down
with
the
club
and
started
working
through
all
the
individual
details
and
and
all
of
the
different
things
that
we'll
be
at
at
issue
here.
So
that's
why,
in
the
on
the
agenda,
we
kind
of
table
listed
it
as
a
lease
and/or
sale.
Z
Z
D
Could
I
add
one
thing
to
that,
and
that
is
that
staff
is
going
to
work
to
make
sure
that
this
Boys
and
Girls
Club
is
going
to
be
a
hundred
and
fifty
percent
successful.
But
you
never
know
what
might
happen
in
50
years
from
now
and
the
parks
master
plan
is
going
to
call
for
us
to
want
to
have
more
green
space
on
the
west
side
rather
than
less
and
so
by
leasing
it.
D
G
S
Want
to
pursue
this
sale
versus
lease
and
all
of
our
preliminary
conversations
leading
up
to
tonight,
we've
talked
about
it
in
terms
of
ohi's.
This
is
really
a
question
for
Rex
and
for
Toni,
and
maybe
Holly
in
terms
of
you
know,
are
there
benefits
or
negatives
in
terms
of
fundraising?
And
you
know
it's
it's
a
fight
for
financing
for
this,
like
if
you
owned
it,
does
that
make
it
easier
or
is
a
collaboration,
more
I.
X
Think
either
way
you
look
at
it,
there's
opportunities,
I,
agree:
I
would
say
whether
we
lease
or
purchase
we
J
and
I
have
spoken.
Eric,
Beale
and
I
have
spoken,
and-
and
we
are
the
parks
and
recs
program
at
Sunnyside
Park
as
we
look
at
the
future
of
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
I
think
that
there
still,
whether
we
own
the
property
or
we're
leasing
it
from
the
city,
I,
think
there's
still
opportunity
to
collaborate
and
partner
at
the
Sunnyside
park.
All.
S
AA
All
of
them
sage
thinks
this
is
a
great
project
and
I
know
countless
hours
of
work
went
into
this,
and
some
of
my
thanks
to
you,
my
thanks
to
the
board
and
I
mean
I'm
in
favor
of
it
the
I
guess
initially,
I'm
more
in
favor,
I.
Think
I'm
more
in
favor
of
release
and
justice
is
probably
a
question
for
you
in
terms
of
I
have
maybe
some
concern
about
some
some
setting
a
precedent
here
for
future
organizations
that
might
want
to
come
and
purchase
land
and
do
that
type
of
thing.
AA
I
think
I,
like
a
little
bit
more
of
the
continuity
associated
with
with
the
lease
in
terms
of
us
retaining
control,
I'm
wondering
what
conversation
there
was
about
some
potential
future
impact
on
other
organizations
that
might
come
and
and
does
Elyse
provide
a
little
bit
more
continuity
for
us.
Yeah.
Z
Z
This
isn't,
you
know
a
situation
where
we're
looking
at
expending
city
funds
in
this
situation,
and
what
made
this
the
most
appealing
was,
or
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
made
this
appealing
was
this
idea
that
the
land
to
the
west
could
be
developed
and
we're
really
not
out
any
green
space
in
this
situation
plus
we've
got
then
a
great
immunity
partner.
That's
going
to
be
putting
up.
You
know
multi-million
dollar
facility.
So
from
our
perspective,
we
did
not
feel
like
this
was
setting
a
bad
precedent
at
all.
Okay,.
A
D
Forcing
the
guidance
of
the
calm,
but
at
the
risk
of
causing
Jeff
to
do
some
more
work.
Perhaps
what
we
could
do
is
we
come
back
next
time
with
an
option,
a
and
B
that
gives
you
all
a
chance
to
think
about
it
to
read
over
the
terms
of
it,
and
then
we
could
bring
it
back
with
an
A
and
B
for
you
next
time.
Okay,.
A
A
AC
The
first
is
a
meter,
there's
water
in
it
from
which
factory
testing
but
you'll
see
it's
rotating
between
the
amount
of
water
through
it
and
then
the
flow
rate.
The
next
time
I
pass
around
a
new
tating
disc,
which
is
really
inside
of
most
meters,
just
a
larger
scale.
From
a
bigger
meter,
I
promise
the
water
is
clean,
I.
AC
Was
well
I
was
trying
to
go
the
direct
opposite
and
I
promise.
There's
there's
clean
water
in
the
meter
and
I
if
scrubbed
up
the
new
tating
disk
so
with
the
disk
water
goes
in
one
side
and
comes
out
the
other,
it
spins
it
and
recognizes
amount
of
water.
So
you
can
see
the
inside
with
that
as
well,
and
I'll
leave
Jim
with
the
handouts.
You
don't
want
to
touch.
I've
listed
a
number
of
things
on
the
slide
in
front
of
you,
we'll
cover
the
top
for
tonight.
AC
The
bottom
four
are
in
different
programs
and
parts
of
the
meter
program,
particularly
a
fixed
point
data
collection
system,
which
is
very
exciting.
It's
a
pilot
project
will
create
efficiencies,
reduce
staff
time
and
also
the
right
information
to
our
consumers.
Bench
testing,
which
allow
us
to
focus
on
meters.
Some
large
meter,
testing,
large
meter
upgrades
you'll,
see
a
chart
in
the
bottom
right.
You'll
see
a
couple
more
of
those
later.
You
see
it
cost
23,000
to
do
that,
but
the
return
on
investments
less
in
two
years,
I'll
touch
base
through
some
other
ones.
AC
Your
briefly
I
will
point
that
cost
water
cost
only
as
the
consumption
goes
up
for
water.
It
also
increases
sewer
and
Benward
and,
some
might
say,
great
you've
increased
our
revenue,
but
you've
increased
the
cost
to
our
customers.
No,
that's
just
allowing
people
to
pay
for
the
water
use,
allowing
us
to
keep
our
rates
where
they
should
be
an
equal
for
everybody
here
system
outline
and
very
briefly,
in
a
couple
of
slides.
We
have
about
thirty
one
thirty,
two
thousand
meters
in
the
system.
If
you
think
about
that
for
a
minute.
AC
Thirty
two
thousand
meters
is
quite
a
bit
you're,
gonna,
say
Bob.
What
is
$900,000
do
for
us,
and
I
will
say
that
it's
not
a
new
program.
This
is
a
continuation
of
a
program.
We
would
expect
this
to
continue
for
years.
We
need
the
meters
to
be
upgraded
to
a
certain
level
of
accuracy
and
Nick
O'donoghue's
who's.
Behind
me
of
the
meter
services
superintendent
will
fill
in
the
gaps
if
I
misspoke.
So
last
year
we
purchased
about
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
worth
of
meters.
AC
You
can
see
about
1700
of
them
where
the
five
eighths
by
one
half,
which
is
exactly
what
we
passed
around,
mostly
your
residential
meters,
with
a
smattering
of
a
couple
hundred
other
kinds.
We
continue
to
add
meters
to
our
system,
which
our
users,
which
is
a
good
thing,
but
the
nationwide
trend
is
people
use
less
water,
so
it
kind
of
offsets
itself,
distribution,
meter,
distribution,
size
again,
most
of
them
reside
in
the
residential
range.
Most
of
them
are
pretty
aged.
AC
AC
Ask
me
at
one
point:
what's
the
life
expectancy
of
a
meter
I'm
going
to
tell
you
it's
between
10
and
20
years
generally,
I'll
walk
you
through
some
graphs
here
in
a
little
bit
and
kind
of
pinpoint
a
little
bit
more
of
what
we're
focused
on,
but
you
can
see
we
have
a
lot
of
older
meters
in
our
system,
water
consumption
by
sector
that
high
blue
one
is
residential.
The
middle
one
is
commercial
inside
the
city
which
comprises
most
of
our
water
use.
AC
You'll
see
we
only
have
one
a
1/8
inch
meter
if
your
eyes
are
eagle-eyes
top
right
hand,
graph,
there's
a
very
low
blue
line
skirting
around
the
bottom,
it
dives
down
to
nothing.
Late,
2015.
You
can
guess
what
that
meter
was
accuracy
testing,
so
generally
meters
slow
down.
This
is
a
number
of
different
ways
to
say
what
that
is
to
show
what
that
is.
I
pulled
some
samples
and
goebbeis
top
left
is
a
meter
testing
program
about
1,500
meters.
AC
The
same
size
I
passed
around,
showing
that
at
low
flows
it
drops
off
more
dramatically
than
medium
and
high
flows.
Those
flow
rates
are
based
on
industry
standard
test
guidelines,
it's
based
on
the
amount
of
water
through
them.
So
we
like
to
talk
in
years
really
it's
focused
on
amount
of
water,
the
water
quality
and
the
pressure
of
the
water
system.
So
over
time
it
will
slow
down
bottom
bottom
right.
Rule
of
thumb
is
about
a
half
a
percent
a
year.
AC
We're
supposed
to
by
industry
standard
tests
are
meters
based
on
a
certain
frequency
with
the
size
of
the
meter
we
have
in
the
budget.
If
we
go
back
to
my
second
slide,
a
meter
test
bench
upgrade,
we
have
immunity,
since
it's
not
operational,
hasn't
been
for
a
lot
of
years,
so
we're
going
to
bring
that
back
in-house,
be
able
to
test
those
be
able
to
focus
more
on
the
meters
we
need
to
test
and
replace
based
on
our
results
right
now.
AC
AC
We
hear
a
lot
about
RF
meter,
conversions.
You
can
see
over
time.
We've
dramatically
drops
the
good
news.
Is
we
about
550
left
to
go
the
bad
news?
Is
we
knock
on
doors
we
drop
fliers?
We
do
mailers,
we
make
phone
calls.
We
have
gotten
people
to
stop
responding.
That
translates
dramatically
to
our
level
of
effort
and
efficiency
of
our
staff,
so
these
are
550
ish
dots
that
we
have
to
walk
door-to-door,
essentially
basement
wall
to
basement
wall
and
touch
our
reader
to
the
pad
on
every
house.
AC
So
it
takes
our
time,
takes
our
effort
and
reduces
the
ability
to
do
other
things
effectively.
We'll
still
continue
to
focus
on
that,
but
if
you'd
like
to
encourage
your
constituents
to
call
the
water
department
we'd
love
to
switch
out
their
meter
meter
changes.
So
in
addition
to
the
RF
change-outs,
we
simply
change
out
meters
based
on
age
based
on
composition.
The
meters
I
mean
a
lot
of
our
meters
are
older.
They
still
they're
lead-free,
based
on
the
definition
at
the
time,
but
really
still
had
lead
in
those
meter
bodies
as
well.
AC
So
we
look
to
trade.
Those
out
you
can
see
in
the
bottom
left
they,
the
staff,
really
put
a
focus.
The
first
quarter
2018
and
did
more
than
they
did
in
all
2017.
So
as
our
change
outs
kind
of
nosedive,
we
picked
it
up
by
trying
to
replace
our
old
meters
a
couple
final
thoughts.
We've
talked
a
little
bit
about
residential.
These
are
more
top
left.
AC
As
a
restaurant
institution,
you
can
see
these
cost
a
little
bit
more
as
far
as
meter
costs,
but
the
return
on
investment
is
generally
under
two
years,
so
we
can
upgrade.
Our
meters
collect
the
revenue.
We
should
be
collecting
again
feed
some
more
revenue
into
our
other
services
and
everybody's,
paying
their
fair
share.
U
AC
We
there
is
at
all
them
at
home,
and
there
is
we.
We
try
to
approach
most
everything
with
the
point
of
our
heart
in
the
middle
of
what
we
do
and
we've
been
doing
a
great
effort
of
trying
to
outreach,
but
we're
getting
to
a
point
and
I
learned
in
my
early
career
to
put
slides
after
the
questions
and
answer
so
bear
with
me
here.
So
if
you
see
anything,
you
want
me
to
come
back
to
I
will,
but
here's
a
couple
of
ordinance
quotes
top
left
is
by
the
most
pertinent.
AC
AC
Trying
not
to
get
to
that
point,
but
that's
essentially
we
do
have
that
right
to
do
that
to
access
our
part
of
the
system
and
upgraded.
So
today
we
have
not
suggested
that
in
recent
years
to
the
city
manager
or
anybody
else
to
do
that.
But
yes
there's
that
opportunity.
If
we
can't
get
the
last
few
hundred.
AC
U
G
A
question:
first,
as
as
we're
going
to
these
wireless
meters,
are
we
going
to
get
to
the
point
where
people
will
have
like
the
Maya
Bloomington
app
and
they
could
see
their
water
usage
I've
gotten
I'm
only
asking
I've
had
constituents
who
have
found
out
the
hard
way
that
they
have
a
leaking
toilet
that
develops
or
something
that
nature
when
their
water
bill
spikes.
Suddenly,
at
the
end
of
the
month
and
I'm,
you
know
I'm,
just
thinking
from
a
technology
point
of
view.
Can
we
get
a?
G
AC
We
are
this
year,
we've
included,
I,
believe
it's
$50,000
in
the
capital
equipment
budget
for
the
first
pilot
project
for
our
fixed
point,
data
collectors.
So
essentially,
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
will
put
fixed
point
collection
system,
so
we
essentially,
we
hopefully
not
have
to
walk
up
to
everybody's
houses.
Eventually,
we
don't
have
to
drive
routes.
We
can
set
it
to
collect
data
every
every
day
with
that
allows
us
to
upgrade
our
meter
software,
because,
right
now
our
meter
software
doesn't
have
the
ability
to
do
that.
AC
We
can
dump
the
data
we
have
in
for
contact
information.
They
can
recognize
trends,
it
can
recognize
differences
and
automatically
notify
people
with
robo
calls
or
emails
of
a
consumption
increase
right
now
at
best
we're
collecting
data.
Once
a
month,
we
download
it
to
an
obsolete
system
which
is
uploaded
to
another
obsolete
system,
and
then
we
manually
print
reports
and
sometimes
we're
weeks
after
we've
actually
built
it
that
we
have
a
chance
to
look
through
personal
to
do
it.
D
Okay,
couldn't
could
I
add
one
thing
to
that
place,
I'm
doing
a
letter
right
now
to
a
prominent
citizen
who
had
a
bill
that
was
in
the
many
thousands
of
dollars
range
and
just
again,
and
that's
why
I'm
moving
forward
with
this
kind
of
thing
is
very
important
and
just
to
show
you.
We
have
probably
300
to
500
requests
every
month
for
for
leak,
adjustments
of
some
sort,
and
that
would
be
in
the
50
to
$100
range
right
now.
D
What
the
ordinance
provides
for
is
that
whatever
the
water
goes
through
the
meter,
the
resident
pays
for.
We
also
have
probably
20
to
30
a
month
that
would
be
approaching
the
thousand
dollar
level,
and
occasionally
we
have
some
that
are
the
many
thousand
dollars
level.
So
something
like
this
is
very
important
to
the
residents
if
we
can
identify
a
spike
ahead
of
time
and
we're
also
talking
about
working
for
a
leak
adjustment,
Insurance
Program,
that
would
kind
of
pay
for
some
of
those.
D
N
S
K
S
To
try
I'm,
just
thinking
about
this,
my
landlord
had
on
that.
You
know.
I
may
have
tenants
to
pay
their
own
water
bills,
but
when
it
comes
to
letting
somebody
come
into
the
building
and
actually
swap
out
meters,
I
mean
you
might
do
a
little
bit
of
cross
mapping
there
and
see
if
you
might
get
to
the
property
owner
as
opposed
my.
AC
A
AD
Not
that
it
was
actual
walking
anyway,
we're
here,
J,
Tesla
and
Michael
her
and
brought
came
to
us
and
asked
if
we
would
be
able
to
assist
them
in
seeking
a
new
naming
rights
partner
for
the
Pepsi,
Ice
Center.
And
so
we've
got
a
wonderful
salesperson
on
staff
at
the
arena
and
he
is
out
talking
to
businesses
every
single
day.
And
we
would
love
to
add
this
as
an
opportunity
that
we
would
be
able
to
sell
for
the
city.
And
that
is
why
we
are
here
and
looking
for
approval.
Okay,.
A
U
A
The
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce.
Madam
clerk.
Thank
you.
Miss
Canada.
Thank
you.
Now
we
move
to
our
last
item
on
our
regular
agenda
for
this
evening
and
that's
consideration
of
resolution
dissolving
the
intergovernmental
agreement
for
operation
of
Scott
and
excuse
me:
John
M,
scott
healthcare
program
approved
proving
new
bylaws
and
directing
the
filing
of
amended
trust
documents,
as
requested
by
the
administration
and
legal
documents
and
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
our
corporate
counsel.
Mr.
Z
I
will
try
not
to
take
the
entire
ten
minutes.
Mayer
just
wanted
to
briefly
run
through
the
changes
and
the
latest
in
this.
As
the
council
knows,
we've
been
working
on
this
and
talking
about
this
it'll
actually
be
two
years
in
August.
So
we've
gone
through
a
lot
of
process,
a
lot
of
different
variations
and
a
lot
of
different
discussion.
So
we're
happy
tonight
to
actually
bring
back
something
for
you
to
act
on
a
resolution
that
we'll
get
to
here
in
a
second.
Z
This
was
the
resolution
will,
among
other
things,
authorize
the
attorney
for
the
trust,
some
her
to
file
a
petition
to
amend
the
declaration
of
trust
and
the
primary
change
that
the
new
trust
will
provide.
Is
that
it's
going
to
go
to
a
grants
only
system
and
that's
something
that
the
council
has
talked
about
for
a
number
of
months
now
and
that'll
be
what
the
new
declaration
of
Trust
provides.
The
the
petition
will
also
authorized
under
this
new
declaration
of
trust,
new
new
bylaws
for
the
sky
Commission.
Z
The
bylaws
will
provide
that
the
Commission's
made
up
of
11
members.
It's
the
same
number
that
is
currently
made
up
of,
but
it
changes
the
positions
a
little
bit.
There
will
be
five
from
various
health
care
professions:
multiple
disciplines
like
primary
care
and
mental
health.
There
will
be
experts
in
finance,
grant
administration,
those
that
help
the
underserved
populations
so
before
we
had
Commission
members
coming
from
different
organizations
within
the
community,
so
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
shift
now
to
kind
of
the
different
disciplines
out
there
that
that
primarily
work
with
the
trust.
Z
As
a
prefect
Ori
mater,
yes
I
think
so
the
the
bylaws
provide
that
the
Commission
and
the
trust,
the
amended
Declaration
of
Trust
provides
that
the
Commission
will
be
a
purely
advisory
body
to
you
as
the
trustee
of
the
Scot
Commission
or
of
the
sky
Commission
trust,
they
will
have
various
functions
to
recommend
changes
in
the
bylaws
appointments
and
annual
budget
investments.
They'll
be
responsible
for
helping
to
identify
unmet
community
needs,
they'll,
recommend
allocation
of
funds
to
the
various
organizations
and
community
initiatives
and
any
other
matters
that
you
want
them
to
take
up.
Z
So
they
will
make
these
recommendations
to
you
as
the
trustee.
You
will
then
make
the
final
decisions.
The
the
bylaws
provide
that
the
city
administrator
or
the
we
will
have
a
city
administrator
as
kind
of
that
staff
liaison
so
Jennifer
Toni
who's,
the
current
grants,
administrator
and
she's
here
tonight.
If
there
are
specific
questions
she'll
take
over
as
kind
of
the
role
of
the
administrator
of
this
program,
so
she'll
be
kind
of
the
conduit
between
the
Commission.
The
Commission
will
recommend
this
budget
or
these
grants.
Z
She'll
then
come
present
this
to
you
as
the
trustee,
and
you
will
make
that
final
decision
as
to
how
to
proceed
with
that
budget
with
those
grants
etc.
The
Commission
members
will
serve
for
three-year
terms.
They
can
also
appoint
ad
hoc
members
themselves
to
kind
of
help
if
there's
a
need
in
a
certain
area.
These
appointments
to
the
Commission
will
meet
be
made
by
resolution,
a
formal
resolution
that
will
come
forward
and
will
be
approved
by
the
council,
and
we
also
continue
to
have
language
in
there
that
the
township
is
an
eligible
grant
recipient.
Z
You
might
remember
there
was
some
discussion
about.
You
know
some
unmet
needs.
Some
direct
service
needs
that
township
supervisor
skill
read
discussed
with
you,
and
so
she
can.
She
can
put
that
in
as
an
eligible
grant
to
be
considered,
and
then
you
could
potentially
fund
that
as
direct
services
that
would
come
directly
from
the
township
so
again
the
functionality
of
this.
How
this
is
going
to
work
again,
we
will
have
a
grants
coordinator
that
will
serve
as
the
administrative
staff.
Z
Z
So
what
are
the
next
steps?
The
resolution
tonight
it
dissolves
the
current
intergovernmental
agreement
with
the
city
of
Bloomington
Township,
that
is
an
intergovernmental
agreement,
provides
that
the
township
is
the
one
that
administers
the
program,
the
trust
program.
So
this
this
resolution
will
approve
the
dissolution
of
that
IgA
and
also
directs
Tom
her
as
the
attorney
for
the
trust
to
file
a
petition
to
amend
the
declaration
of
trust
with
the
Circuit
Court
that'll
go
to
court.
The
resolution
also
approves
the
new
john
m
scott
commission
bylaws.
Z
We
will
then
once
that's
approved
and
and
that's
all
contingent
upon
the
circuit
court
approving
this
this
requested
relief.
We
will
then
transition
that
to
the
city's
new
grant
coordinator.
We
will
also
be
we're
in
the
process
right
now
of
negotiating
a
new
IgA
with
the
township
for
some
of
the
services
that
are
in
the
existing
IgA
that
we're
dissolving
like
mowing
and
snow
removal
at
the
township
building,
also
the
provision
of
some
IT
services.
Z
Some
lighting
work
that
Jim,
Koch
and
Public
Works
provides
so
we'll
come
back
within
the
next
few
weeks
with
a
new
IgA
that
talks
about
those
other
services
that
are
not
related
to
the
John
M
Scot
trust,
so
that
is
kind
of
the
big
picture
overview
a
lot
of
people
here.
If
you
have
specific
questions,
we
go
rodas.
You
still
here,
yes,
Deb's.
Z
S
S
Then,
in
the
staff
memo
it
says
that
the
trustee
may
also
appoint
one
member
to
represent
the
township,
attentive
supervisor
for
City
Bloomington
or
someone
else
to
or
another
designee
that
would
represent
McClain
County
Township
supervisors.
So
they
don't
quite
line
up
so
I
just
wanted
a
little
clarification
about.
Z
That
yeah
so
I
abbreviated
that
last
bullet
points.
Oh
okay,
represent
Township,
so
right
now
Deb
skill
reserves
that
you've
got
the
Township
Supervisor
serving
on
the
Commission.
So
you
can
you
can
continue
with
that.
You
could
you
know
if
you
want
somebody
else
from
Bloomington
Township
on
there
or
if
you
want
somebody
else
to
represent
all
of
the
townships
in
McLean
County
or
if
you
want
to
say
to
the
supervisor
here
you
know
you
need
to
represent
all
of
them
and
and
and
that's
happening,
so
it's
really
pretty
open-ended.
Okay,.
Z
Yes,
technically
anybody
that
was
going
to
provide
the
services
you
know
that
were
that
are
allowed
under
the
trust
they
could
apply
for
a
grant.
The
reason
that
we
spell
that
out
specifically
for
Bloomington
Township
is
because
there
was
some
discussion
on
this
council
about
you
know.
There's
this
debate
about.
You
know
a
need
for
some
some
continued
direct
services,
but
also
a
you
know.
Maybe
it
made
more
sense
to
go
to
the
grants
only
so
we
just
wanted
to
keep
in
there
at
the
forefront
that
you
know.
Z
If
there
are
some
direct
services
that
Bloomington
Township,
you
know,
believes
you
know
should
be
provided
that
they
may
be
applying
for
a
grant.
So
you
know
it
doesn't
necessarily
give
them
any
special
rights
they
would
still
have
to
go
through
the
process
make
the
case
you
guys
would
formerly
have
to
approve
that,
but
yeah
in
theory,
any
Township
you
know,
could
apply
for
a
similar
grant
and.
Z
Right,
yeah
and
I
don't
want
to
misspeak
on
this,
but
you've
already.
We've
already
approved
a
budget
for
this
this
fiscal
year,
but
I
think
what
they
would
look
at
doing
is
going
back.
They
might
amend
that
they
might.
You
know
once
the
court
approves
this,
there
might
be
some
additional
changes
to
the
existing
budget.
G
This
I
mean
we're
gonna,
have
a
grants
administrator,
but
can
we
put
any
sort
of
language
into
this
once
we're
getting
going?
For
instance,
you
know
one
of
the
big
things
going
right
now
is
when
you
get
a
grant,
is
having
to
report
back
health
outcomes
from
those
grants
I
mean.
Can
we
make
those
things
like
conditions
that
you
know
if
you're
awarded
a
grant
you
can
get?
We
we
expect
to
see
health
outcomes
reported
back
on
from
that
process.
Jennifer.
Z
AB
AB
A
D
D
So
it's
a
little
bit
bigger
and
then
I'll
also
include
that
every
two
weeks
in
the
in
the
weekly
update,
so
you
have
a
hard
copy
of
it
and
we'll
make
sure
that
goes
out
on
the
on
the
city's
website,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
things
going
on
and
when
people
say
there's
nothing
going
on
in
Bloomington.
You
can
look
at
this
and
there's
more
things
and
you
can
possibly
do
so.
There's
a
lot
of
things
downtown
and
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
to
do.
Okay,
great.
D
H
Let's
give
a
collaborative,
it
feels
good
to
be
done
with
the
first
spring
collection
that
we
have
completed
full
credit
to
our
crews.
They
worked
so
hard.
We
we
took
everybody,
we
had
and
we
treated
it
like
a
snow
event
as
what
we
said.
We
just
threw
every
piece
of
equipment
we
had
at
it.
We
we
treated
it
almost
like
an
emergency,
had
five
to
six
crews
every
day
you
know
for
for
dump
trucks,
/
loader.
H
Again,
that's
a
lot
of
equipment
on
a
lot
of
manpower
being
put
toward
it,
but
within
seven
days
we
got
through
the
entire
town
actually,
but
at
beginning
of
the
seventh
day
we
were
done
so
it
almost
close
to
six
days
really
great
effort,
we're
gonna
be
celebrating
our
department
and
then
we're
also
going
to
be
figuring
out.
How
can
we
do
it
better?
We're
now,
looking
for
lessons
learned,
how
can
we
communicate
even
better?
We,
we
were
using
some
innovative
things,
this
time
that
were
deemed
very
successful,
such
as
electronic
message
boards.
H
We
play
some
of
those
out
on
some
of
our
major
roads,
non-state
routes
as
a
way
to
really
try
to
get
that
message
out.
In
addition
to
you
know
water
bill
inserts,
you
know
the
media
was
wonderful.
You
know
the
pantograph.
All
of
the
different
news
stations
also
had
a
lot
of
good
coverage
about
it,
so
we
had
a
lot
of
it
out
there
so
moving
forward
we're
also
taking
a
lot
of
efforts
to
try
to
educate
stat
of
people,
because
we
understand
citizens.
This
is
a
change
for
them,
so
we
are.
H
H
So
this
is
a
really
good,
really
good
way
that
we're
reaching
people
directly
it's
hard
for
them
to
miss
that,
and
so
we
see
this
as
the
best
way
that
we
can
get
the
word
out.
The
other
thing
I
just
really
want
to
encourage.
We
are
also
driving
the
my
Bloomington
app
because
every
effort
is
being
done
now
to
everybody.
Now
99%
of
folks
have
smartphones,
no,
not
everybody
there.
You
know
again
I'm
not
trying
to
insult
our
flip
phone
folks,
but
still
the
the
smart
phones
are
so
prevalent.
H
You
can
get
this
on
the
Android
I,
the
iPhones,
all
of
those
different
ones
that
my
Bloomington
app
is
the
way
to
drive
that
that
lessens
call
volume
allows
for
people
to
take
pictures.
It
also
allows
them
to
have
their
email
address,
we'll
give
them
updates,
we'll
give
them
an
update
when
we
collect
it,
we'll
give
them
an
update.
When
it's
been
billed
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
interaction
that
can
happen
to
that.
H
D
Going
to
ask
Jim
two
questions
here,
which
I
think
will
help
one
is
we
reported
in
the
penta
graph
that
during
this
this
first
spring
pick
up,
we
picked
up
15%
of
the
tonnage
that
we
had
done
all
last
year.
Well,
we
have
a
spring
and
a
fall
pickup
that
would
be
15%
in
the
spring
and
15%
in
the
fall
that
makes
30%
what
happens
to
the
other
70%.
Well,
thankfully,.
H
We
have
to
work
with
the
EPA
I
didn't
want
to
jump
the
gun
and
allow
our
nonprofits
to
get
there
before
the
EPA
approved
it,
but
we're
working
toward
even
EPA
approval,
and
we
think
this
is
a
great
way
to
say:
don't
just
throw
it
out,
allow
other
people
to
reuse
it.
So
we're
really
trying
to
find
ways
to
improve
the
way
that
we
look
at
waste
you're
not
going
to
be
serving
mocha
lattes
I'll
try
to
juggle.
If
I
can
I
can
do
balloon
animals
and.
D
I'm
thinking
what
we're
getting
on
that
other
70%
is,
people
will
be
taking
care
of
it
themselves,
they'll
be
taking
to
the
citizens,
convenience
spot
or
they'll,
be
paying
to
have
it
be
picked
up
for
$25
to
pick
up.
In
any
case,
it's
less
work
for
the
Public
Works
Department
of
dividend,
which
means
less
tax
dollars
are
going
out
to
pay.
For
that.
My
second
question,
Jim,
was
how
many
complaints
have
you
got
so
far?
We.
H
Actually
have
hardly
we've
had
less
complaints
than
we
thought
we
are.
We
have
not
been
we've
been
very
pleased
with
the
amount
of
actually
some
positive
feedback.
We've
had
some
people.
Of
course
we
normally
get
complaints
on
a
daily
basis.
So
so
this
we're
seeing
about
the
regular
type
of
trend
that
we've
had
so
this
huge
upsurge
might
still
be
coming
when
people
realized
wow,
I
missed
it.
There
will
still
be
some
folks
that
this
has
been
a
tough
change
for,
but
overall
this
has
been
a
very
positive
change.
H
H
L
A
Else,
thank
you
very
much
anything
else.
Steve.
Okay,
the
only
thing
that
I
would
like
to
do.
There
were
a
couple
things
on
the
consent
agenda
just
wanted
to
call
people's
attention
to
and
that
it's
obviously
our
annual
wgl
tea
concert
that
we'll
be
having
in
the
heart
of
beautiful
sparkling,
downtown
Bloomington,
and
also
something
that
one
of
our
downtown
establishments
has
decided
to
propose,
and
that
is
a
Rock.
