Yeah

really
quickly,

5
30,

okay
trustee
matthew.
D
E
F

A
H
Well,
our
previous

for
three
years
and
in
the
great
partnership
or
with
the
great
partnership
that
we
have
with
home
sweet
home
ministries.
We
asked
for
an
extension
of
the
three
years.
It's
it
would
take
quite
a
bit
for
us
to
find
a
new
place
that
we
wanted
to
secure
it
for
a
little
longer
and
we
did
ask
for
600
more
square
feet,
because
we
are
very
tight
in
that
spot.
H
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
this
item.

is
a
presentation
with
a
recommended
action
plan
of
property
condition,
assessment
prepared
by
farnsworth
group
by
supervisor
route
and
michael
burgess.
Other
funds
were
grouped
so
do
you
have
a
suit
yeah?
Let's
go
ahead
with
the
presentation,
then.
H
Okay,
so
minimal
investment
has
been
made
with
the
township
building
since
2003
when
it
was
built.
Since
2017
township
staff
has
been
preparing
up
the
purchasing
policy,
it
was
approved
by
the
board
and
we've
been.
We
set
us
carried
over
in
the
line
item
for
building
repairs,
that's
line
item
1044.,
we've
done
this
without
an
increase
in
the
levy,
and
we
do
not
plan
to
increase
the
levy
and
we
have
not
increased
the
levy
for
three
years.
H
The
board
I
mean
the
township's
chosen
barnsworth
as
to
develop
the
plan
for
the
township
building
in
this
site
and
and
that's
listed
in
your
memo,
for
the
reasons
why
they
were
the
the
the
I
mean,
not
the
builders
but
the
architects
for
this
building.
H
Originally
it
and
they're
very
well
known
in
the
community
and
done
a
great
job,
but
I
what
I'm,
what
I'm
asking
the
board
are
hoping
the
board
will
accept
a
proposal
timeline
that
was
partially
listed
in
the
in
your
memo,
and
I
kind
of
want
to
go
over
that
with
you
before
you
have
any
questions
and
before
I
introduce
michael
burgess
to
discuss
questions
and
and
talk
about
the
high
priorities
on
june
28th,
we
will
be
requesting
the
board
to
accept
to
propose
the
budget
amendment
to
address
the
property
condition
assessment
projects
that
we
plan
for
2022
fiscal
year.
H
So
it
wouldn't
be
an
inconvenience
to
the
board
of
trustees
on
june
28th
township's
going
to
present
and
seek
contract
approval
for
the
farnsworth
proposal
for
them
doing
the
bidding
assistance
and
construction
administration.
For
this
big
project,
foreign
farnsworth
has
agreed
to
prepare
the
bid
specs
and
send
them
out
for
bid
by
july
26th
august.
2Nd
meeting
is
when
we
are
asking
for
the
board
to
approve
the
amended
ordinance
budget,
ordinance
and
that'll
be
on
the
agenda
for
june
28th.
H
Now
I'm
going
to
go
through
a
little
bit
more
of
the
timeline
toward
the
end
there
august
4th
is
the
advertising
for
the
bids
for
the
parking
lot
and
the
ada
and
the
sidewalk.
Those
are
the
top
projects
we
plan
to
do
august.
16Th,
the
bids
are
due
august
23rd,
it
will
be
presented,
the
contract
for
approval
and
the
bid
awards
will
be
presented
at
the
august
board.
H
Meeting
township
intends
to
designate
a
capital
fund,
but
for
our
levy,
but
we
couldn't
do
that
until
we
had
a
plan
in
place
and
and
that
it
was
developed
and
now
tonight,
michael
burgess,
who
is
the
senior
project
architect,
is
going
to
share
with
share
with
you
the
highest
priorities
and
answer
any
questions
and
what
how
they
came
to
this
assessment.
H
So
anyway,
I
think
now's,
the
time
I
can
introduce
him
and
to-
and
maybe
he
can
talk
about
that
and
then
we
can
open
it
up
for
questions.
Does
that
sound
right.
C
I
C
I
Thanks
and
I'm
sorry
I'm
having
limited
capabilities
on
my
end
as
well,
I
don't
have
a
video
option.
I'm
not.
G
I
What's
going
on,
but
thank
you
deb
for
the
introduction
yeah.
So
we
completed
the
report
recently
identified,
co-deficiencies
maintenance
efficiencies
throughout
the
facility
and
prioritize
them
either
as
ada
as
one
year
two
year
or
ten
year.
Time
frames
for
suggested
mediations
of
of
the
highest
priority
items
in
there.
One
of
them
was
included,
was
the
site
which
I'll
let
jeff
talk
about
in
just
a
minute.
C
I
We
can
hear
you:
okay,
oh
and
I
have
more
capabilities.
Now
too
start
video.
Maybe
you
can
see
me.
I
know
that's
a
good
or
bad
thing,
all
right,
hi,
so
yeah
those
are
some
of
the
higher
priorities,
I'll.
Let
and.
L
I
The
direction
of
mrs
skillrood
we've
been
asked
that
our
the
first
thing
to
address
would
be
the
parking
lot
and
the
ada
curb
ramps
out
there
as
a
first
proposal
to
come
before
your
next
board
meeting
I'll
yeah.
I
I
I
guess
you
have
the
package.
Is
there
any
questions
about
what
was
presented
so
far
in
terms
of
priorities.
I
Yeah
yeah,
so
the
ultimate
findings
were
that
for
the
parking
lot.
At
least
you
know
the
concrete
panels
themselves
are
in
very
good
shape.
I
It's
the
joints
that
are
failing
and
that,
if
left,
will
continue
to
degrade
over
time,
the
ada
curb
ramps
do
not
meet
compliance
and
so
recommended
those
be
changed
and
there's
there's
a
few
other
cracks
and
damages
on
the
sidewalks,
so
that
if
the
parking
lot
is
holistically
redone,
I
suggest
doing
the
curbs
and
the
walks
all
at
the
same
time,
both
for
an
economy
of
scale
and
for
aesthetics,
etc.
I
Yeah,
we
examined
several
options
for
remediation
the
parking
lot
from
just
spot
joint
treatments
to
where
we
eventually
landed
with
a
whole
removal
and
replacement
of
the
concrete
panels.
We
looked
at
asphalt,
the
concrete
and
this
ultimately
turned
out
to
be
the
most
economical
and
the
most
desirable
by
the
township
we
have
jeff
gastel,
as
I
said,
is
our
civil
engineer
on
the
line.
If
you
have
any
specific
questions
regarding
pavement,
longevity
options
like
that
he'd
be
welcome
to
field.
H
No,
the
board
just
received
their
proposal.
They
may
have
questions
in
the
you
know
after
it.
There
wasn't
a
whole
lot
of
time
to
go
through
it.
H
If
there
are
questions
in
the
future,
certainly
I
would
ask
the
board
to
contact
me
or
michael.
Would
you
be
fielding
some
questions
that
way
too
is
fine,
but
they
can
come
through
me
and
then
we'll
forward
it
on.
If
I
don't
have
the
answer,
but
it
is
true
that
the
concrete
work
is
the
most
challenging
one
for
us
because
of
cost,
but
can
you
explain
how
we
can
increase
the
longevity?
H
If
there
is,
you
know
something
greater
than
what
we've
experienced
so
far
with
the
the
joints
of
the
concrete.
N
The
kevin
kothe
did
a
report
on
the
mixes
that
were
available
back
in
the
70s
and
he's
done
some
kind
of
a
correlation
to
to
possibly
influencing
some
of
the
problems
they're
having
today,
but
basically
it's
the
salt
that
gets
trapped
in
the
joint
and
if
there
was
any
joint
filler
in
at
the
time
it
was
poured
fine,
but
joint
maintenance
tends
to
go
by
the
wayside
and
the
salt
stays
trapped
in
the
crack
and
mixes
with
water
and
and
then,
when
you
drive
over
it,
it
deteriorates
the
joint,
so
regular
maintenance
of
the
joint
with
either
a
caulk,
a
self-leveling
caught
or
a
hot
poured.
N
Joint
sealer
every
couple
of
years
will
help
to
prolong
the
joints
and
and
then
the
integrity
of
of
the
of
the
panels.
The
panels
out
there
right
now
are
really
in
pretty
good
shape,
the
the
bulk
of
the
panels,
but
it's
the
joints
that
have
deteriorated
and
keeps
falling
every
year.
We
put
salt
on
it
and
it
just
keeps
getting
worse
and
worse
so
to
to
extend
the
life
of
of
the
concrete
pavement.
I
would
certainly
recommend
a
regular
joint
maintenance.
N
Every
every
couple
of
years,
or
maybe
every
five
years,
some
municipalities
do
it
every
five
years,
but
they
have
a
revolving
mft
fund.
For
that.
So
thank
you.
H
C
A
I
realize
that
one
of
their
hazards,
assume
goodness
so,
yes,
that
it
looks
like
we
have
a
couple
of
questions
here:
trustee
craybail,
matthey
and
ward
in
that
order.
F
E
F
A
D
I
appreciate
that
deb.
Thank
you
for
bringing
this.
This
is
something
you
and
I
have
talked
about
for
the
last
couple
of
years,
so
I
appreciate
you
bringing
this
forward.
I
got
a
question
for
either
michael
or
jeff.
There's
you
know
the
building
is
really
not
that
old,
but
you
have
a
whole
bunch
of
ada
deficiencies
listed
on
here
of
things
that
I
thought
were
in
the
ada
code
for
a
very
long
time
like
counter
top
heights,
and
things
of
that
nature
I
mean,
was
that
just
was
it
built
incorrectly
or
did
am.
D
I
No,
that's
an
excellent
question.
I'd
say
in
general,
things
were
built
incorrectly,
so
it
was
in
2003
and
full
disclosure.
Farnsworth
group
did
the
drawings,
but
also
full
disclosure.
I
It
was
sort
of
a
design
build
project
we
did
some
partial
drawings
is
handed
over
and
then
the
contractor
finished
up
with
none
of
our
construction
administration
oversight.
So
I
cannot
tell
you
what
happened
from
when
we
did
our
drawings
to
when
it
actually
built.
O
I
Not
probably
did
not
meet
co
at
the
time
several
of
them.
The
code
has
changed
since
then,
especially
the
illinois
accessibility
code,
which,
just
in
2018,
was
adopt
the
newest
one
to
become
more
in
line
with
the
international
building
code
like,
for
instance,
the
restroom
clearances
around
the
toilets,
did
meet
the
previous
unknown
accessibility
code
requirements,
but
does
not
meet
the
current
one.
I
D
Yeah
well,
there's
a
couple
of
high
dollar
total
ones
too,
like
the
window
controls
above
the
max
height.
That's
you
know
I
was
I
was
looking
at.
You
know
that
line
item
says
it's
twenty
nine
thousand
dollars
and
I
was
just
like
how
did
that
get
through
the
last
round
of
something
that
big
that
was
that
was
off.
You
know
that
much
so,
okay.
D
Okay
and
and
deb
I'd
be
curious
if
we
have
anything
where
we
could
go
back
to
the
contractor
to
if
they
were,
if
they
built
things
outside
of
the
specs
that
they
were
given.
You
know
just
something
worth
looking
at:
it
could
save
the
township
quite
a
bit
of
money
if
they
deviated
from
the
drawings
and
now
we're
having
to
fix
those
issues,
so
that
might
be
something
we're
talking
about
in
the
future.
P
Yeah,
I
have
a
question
also
with
regard
to
the
stakeholders
who
might
or
might
not
have
been
contacted
or
involved.
In
conversations
around
this,
I
noticed
that
it
talks
about
community
groups
and
interested
persons
contacted
that
township
staff
worked
with
legal
counsel
in
the
farnsworth
group.
Were
any
disability
groups
given
the
opportunity
to
offer
any
input.
I
B
I
Yeah,
no,
the
scope
of
our
investigation
is
based
solely
around
co.
Current
code
deficiencies
and
maintenance
deficiencies,
not
necessarily
a
polling
of
community
groups
and
stakeholders,
for
you,
know,
wishes
and
wants
and
other
desires.
P
Yeah,
I
I
guess
I'm
not
looking
at
it
so
much
in
terms
of
wishes
and
wants
as
it
is.
The
previous
question
seemed
to
to
raise
some
issues
that
perhaps
folks
who
are
in
the
disability
community
might
have
noticed
early
on,
and
so
I'm
just
lifting
that
up
as
maybe
moving
forward.
It
would
be
a
good
idea
to
involve
them
from
the
get-go.
H
The
I
can
interject
about
the
windows,
I
mean
no
one's
ever
from
a
handicapped
perspective,
no
one's
or
disabilities.
No
one's
ever
really
approached
us
at
all
on
that
that
was
the
first
we've
heard
of
it.
We
do
use
our
windows
and
open
them
up
occasionally
on
a
good
day
and
and
but
clients
or
or
the
public
when
they
come
in,
they
don't
have
that
ability.
The
biggest
concern
that
we
have
is
the
automated
doors
look
to
make
it
easier
for
them
from
an
outside
actuator
right
on
the
wall.
P
And
would
that
have
been
something
that
would
have
been
expected
to
have
been
in
place
when
the
building
was
built.
I
Sure
I
can
say
that
in
general,
automatic
door
operators
are
not
required
by
the
accessibility
code
if
they're
in
place
there's
a
couple
clearance
requirements
that
are
associated
with
those
and
those
are
addressed
in
the
report
and
in
general,
the
broader
question
I
would
say
offhand
that
most
users
of
a
building
may
prefer
something
that's
not
required
by
the
code
or
most
often
just
accept
something,
as
this
is
the
way
it
is
and
not
know.
That
is
not
meeting
code,
which
was
the
focus
of
our
report.
B
I
O
A
Thank
you
very
much,
and
I
believe
this
is
just
presentation
only
right,
so
emotion
did
okay
all
right.
Thank
you.
Next
item
on
the
agenda
is
reports
by
elected
officials,
so
we'll
start
with
township
supervisor
deb
stewart
you
have
two
and
a
half
minutes
and.
B
H
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
thank
you
for
bringing
mr
talgot
garrett
talgat
to
the
cemetery
board.
He
was
the
initial
appointment,
but
he
was
serving
dean,
lorch's
appointment
and
he
has
been
absolutely
wonderful
to
work
with
at
the
cemetery
as
good
insight
and
not
his
knowledge
of
oma
other
things
and
his
his
love
of
history
of
the
cemetery.
It's
just
been
really
wonderful,
so
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
have
a
point
for
another
six
years.
Thank
you
and
everything
else
that
I
have
is
in
my
board
report.
O
Good
evening
I
didn't
have
a
written
report
this
month,
I'm
more
interested
in
seeing
what
some
of
you
trustees
would
like
to
see
reported
on
the
assessment
and
property
value
side
in
the
months

We
I've
kind
of
went

or
interesting

might
want
presented
for

to
make
any
decisions

I
wanted

point.
We
will
have
our
city
managers

provide
a
cougar
19
update.
J
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council,
a
couple
of
updates
with
the
cdc
ruling
about
two
weeks
ago.
J
About
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
we
made
some
changes
with
our
city
operations
and
wanted
to
share
those
with
the
selected
body
and
also
the
community
from
now
on,
with
our
facilities
that
have
been
open,
the
hub,
which
is
a
city
clerk's
office
that
can
be
located
at
the
government
center
at
115,
east
washington,
that's
been
open
to
the
public,
the
foyer
at
the
bloomington
police
department
and
other
venues
and
arenas
that
the
city
has
are
in
fact
open.
J
J
Arena
or
facility
at
the
zoo
that
they
will
wear
masks
signage
is,
is
there
for
the
patrons
as
well
for
city
employees
following
cdc
guidelines,
those
that
have
been
vaccinated
do
not
have
to
wear
a
mask
and
do
not
have
to
socially
distance
and
then,
as
an
organization
effective
tuesday,
june
1st
day
after
memorial
day
weekend,
the
employees
up
to
60
percent
will
be
returning
to
in
person.
J
That's
a
rough
number
allowing
my
department
directors
to
decide
what
capacity
they
need
for
their
individual
departments
and
of
that
sixty
percent,
the
those
that
are
vaccinated
do
not
do
not
count
towards
that
total.
So
just
want
to
provide
those
two
updates
regarding
mike
over
portion
of
the
update
and
then
real
quick.
The
arena
still
open
for
vaccinations.
J
A
C
And
there
were
no
public
comments,
commenters
that
registered
or
emailed
this.
A
Okay,
well
moving
right
along
then
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
move
to
our
consent
agenda.
Are
there
any
items
on
the
consent
agenda
that
any
member
of
the
council
would
like
to
have
removed
for
further
discussion.
D
Thank

and
I'm
going
to
go

Actually,
council
city
manager,
gleason.
J
J
But
after
the
agenda
had
been
published
on
friday
morning,
and
now
we
requested
of
the
united
states
postal
service
to
shorten
that
lease
term
from
36
months
down
to
18
months.
They
were
agreeable
and
the
clerk,
I
believe,
has
the
language
for
the
amendment
and
that's
before
council
for
approval,
as
amended
at
a
term
of
18
months
for
the
lease
agreement
for
the
post
office
downtown
office
at
the
market
street
garage.
A
Okay
motion
by
council
member
emig:
is
there
a
second,
I
see
a
council
member
jamie,
madame
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll.
J
E
F
F
A
Okay,
the
item
passes,
and
there
are
no
names
to
announce
next
item
on
the
agenda-
is
a
public
hearing,
a
public
hearing
for
the
2021
annual
actual
plan,
as
requested
by
the
economic
and
community
development
department,
and
the
public
hearing
is
now
open,
as
of
6
10
p.m.
A
Madam
coach
is
there
anybody
registering
to
speak.
C
So
we
do
not
have
anyone
that
registered
to
speak.
We
do
have
jennifer
tony
on
to
give
a
presentation.
B
Q
Q
Q
I
want
to
share
a
little
bit
of
information
about
the
2021
community
development
block
grant
annual
action
plan
as
we
go
through
this.
I
just
ask
everyone
keep
in
mind
that
we're
talking
about
our
new
programs
for
2021,
I'm
not
really
going
to
address
much
of
our
covet
programming
program
that
we
have
going
on,
because
those
are
actually
20.
20,
20,
20
activities
that
will
carry
through,
but
we
won't
have
any
new
funding
going
to
those
so
they're,
not
actually
added
into
this
action
plan.
C
Q
Thank
you,
you
can
move
phil
sorry,
I
thought
I
would
have
control.
So
when
we
do
the
cdbg
programming
every
year,
we
do
an
annual
action
plan,
which
is
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
tonight,
but
there's
a
bigger
document.
Q
That's
our
2020
consolidated
plan,
and
that
is
our
guiding
document
that
we
address
all
of
our
action
plans
tied
back
to
that
plan
and
the
2020
annual
action
plan
is
actually
the
second
year
of
our
five-year
plan
and
tonight
what
we'll
do
is
I'm
just
providing
an
overview
and
we'll
open.
Have
I
have
an
open
public
hearing
for
the
public
to
pride
comment
we
officially
open
up
for
public
comment
tomorrow.
Q
So
when
we
talk
about
our
five-year
plan,
these
are
the
goals
that
we
said
we
would
address.
We
did
a
very
robust
outreach
campaign
and
a
lot
of
data
analysis.
Q
We
partner
with
the
town
of
normal
and
the
clan
county,
regional
planning,
commission,
and
when
we
went
through
all
of
that,
we
came
up
with
these
five
goals:
the
preservation
of
existing,
affordable
housing,
stock,
elimination
of
slum
and
blight
conditions,
supporting
the
provision
of
public
service
activities,
provide
quality
services
and
public
facilities
for
all
residents
and
administer
the
cdbg
program
in
an
efficient
and
cost-effective
manner.
Q
Next
slide,
please,
in
addition
to
the
goals
we
had
to
establish
some
high
priority
areas
and
we
have
some
medium
priorities
as
well,
but
we
usually
can
meet
all
of
our
high
priority
areas
with
the
pro
with
the
funding
that
we
have.
Q
So
this
slide
shows
all
of
our
high
priority
priority
areas
for
our
public
services,
but
those
that
are
in
orange
are
the
ones
that
this
year's
action
plan
addresses
so
we'll
be
addressing
homeless
services,
housing
discrimination,
services,
renter
assistance
and
senior
services
through
our
public
services.
I
do
want
to
mention
that
our
public
services
are
capped
at
15
and
so
we're
a
little
bit
limited
on
the
the
amount
of
funding
that
we
can
provide
for
these
types
of
activities
next
slide,
please!
Q
So
then,
the
other
area
that
we
have
high
priorities
identified
for
is
public
facilities,
infrastructure
improvements
and
housing
activities.
Again,
those
in
orange
are
the
ones
that
were
we're
focusing
on
this
action
plan,
so
accessibility,
improvements,
affordable
housing,
preservation,
business
support,
demolition
of
blighted
structures,
homeowner
housing,
rehabilitation
and
sidewalk
improvements.
Q
When
we
look
at
how
we're
going
to
select
our
activities
for
each
annual
action
plan
several
years
ago,
we
went
to
a
competitive
process,
and
so
that
involves
a
request
for
proposals
or
an
rfp.
Every
year
this
year
we
released
the
rfp
in
the
about
the
middle
of
february,
letting
people
know
that
applications
will
be
accepted.
Q
Through
the
month
of
march,
we
advertised
in
the
pathogram
the
city's
website,
the
city,
social
medias,
other
social
sites
such
as
grid
and
I've
drawn
a
blank
on
what
that
stands
for,
but
I
know
it's
grants
and
research.
So
a
lot
of
providers
that
are
interested
in
grants
use
that
site,
and
then
we
did
a
press
release.
Q
So,
as
I
said,
applications
were
available
for
submission
via
our
neighborly
software.
It's
a
grants,
management
software
that
we
use
through
the
month
of
march.
Q
Q
So
from
there
we
take
the
scores
for
each
individual
application
and
we
take
the
average
score
of
for
all
of
their
reviews
and
give
that
particular
application
an
average.
And
then
we
look
at
the
average
for
each
category
and
if
an
application
scores
at
or
above
the
average
for
that
category,
we
consider
them
for
full
funding.
Q
If
our
our
funding
is
not
exhausted,
once
we
finish
that
process,
then
we
move
down
the
line
and
start
looking
at
applications
that
scored
below
the
average.
So
with
cdbg,
our
revenues
always
have
to
match
our
expenses,
so
we
need
to
know
going
into
the
process
how
much
money
we're
going
to
have.
Our
21
allocation
is
547
296
dollars.
We
estimate
30
000
in
program
income
and
then
125
000
and
carry
forward
funding
from
previous
years.
Q
So
our
our
budget
for
this
year
is
just
a
little
over
700
000.
Then
we
start
considering
the
the
two
caps
that
we
have
to
keep
our
funding
within
public
services
are
capped
at
15
of
our
annual
allocation
and
administration
is
capped
at
20
percent
phil.
Q
So
for
our
annual
action
plan
goals,
they
tie
directly
back
to
our
consolidated
plan
goals,
so
preservation
of
ex
of
the
existing
affordable
housing
stock
is
where
the
majority
of
our
money
goes,
which
is
pretty
standard
across
all
of
our
action
plans.
The
cdbg
program
is
supposed
to
be
a
housing,
primarily
a
housing
program.
So
that's
where
we
put
most
of
our
money.
We
will
do
some
rehabilitation
on
rental
housing.
Q
The
housing
units
that
we
will
address
this
year
through
that
activity
will
be
two
properties
owned
by
bloomington
housing
authorities,
so
public
housing
units
that
will
get
a
new
boiler
systems
and
then
mayor's
manor
has
26
supportive
housing
units
and
they
need
new
hvac
and
ada
improvements,
so
we'll
be
focusing
on
those
three
activities
for
that.
Q
And
then
we
have
rehabilitation,
soft
costs
as
well
so
about
407
000
is
what
will
we
we're
dedicating
towards
preservation
of
existing
housing
stock,
so
the
elimination
of
conditions
in
slum
of
blight
and
slum
and
blight?
This
is
our
demolition
program.
Q
Our
demolitions
have
typically
for
cdbg,
have
been
down
over
the
past
few
years,
because
we've
been
ever
able
to
leverage
other
sources
of
funding,
so
we
probably
will
do
about
three
demolitions
this
year
and
two
will
be
dedicated
to
habitat,
to
humanity,
for
construction
of
new,
affordable
housing
and
then
one
and
we'll
just
be
removing
it's
probably.
It
wouldn't
be
a
buildable
lot
so,
but
we
still
need
the
funding
to
take
it
down,
take
the
property
down,
so
that
is
our
demolition
program
bill
for
the
public
services
at
90
554.
Q
We
are
right
at
our
15
cap
with
that.
Typically,
a
lot
of
our
grants
that
we
have
every
year
and
the
ones
that
score
really
high
because
they
meet
not
only
a
high
priority
need,
but
they're
also
identified
in
our
comprehensive
plan
are
the
bottom
one.
Two
three
five
ktb
financial
is
the
is
a
new
grantee.
This
year.
They
provide
financial
services
for
low-income
individuals,
things
like
budgeting,
helping
you
know
with
with
jobs
and
and
connecting
to
resources
such
as
you
know,
other
sources
of
financial
assistance.
Q
So
we're
excited
to
be
able
to
offer
the
add
them
to
the
portfolio
for
this
year,
phil
for
the
quality
services
and
public
facilities.
Q
So
that's
the
activity
that
we'll
be
putting
additional
funding
into
and
then
the
west
wilmington
sidewalk
improvements
is
sidewalk
improvements
for
ada
compliance
along
west
washington
and
then
also
I'm
sorry
west
market
and
on
the
corner
of
washington
and
allen
phil.
Q
So
the
final
goal
is
to
administer
the
cdbg
program
in
an
efficient
and
cost
effective
manner.
So
we
have
three
activities
that
were
programs-
I
guess
are
sorry
projects
that
we'll
fund
under
this
we
have
our
general
administration,
which
is
what
you
would
think.
It's
staff,
professional
development
travel
and
postage
advertising
those
types
of
things,
but
then,
under
the
cdbg
administrative
programs,
we're
required
by
regulation
to
meet
several
different
types
of
regulations
through
cppd
as
a
hud
re
funding
recipient.
Q
So
for
many
years,
we've
partnered
with
the
bloomington
housing
authority
to
provide
section
3
training
for
their
public
housing,
residence
and
housing
choice,
voucher,
program
participants.
So
that's
one
of
the
activities.
The
second
is:
we
have
to
affirmatively
further
fair
housing,
and
so
we
have
partnered.
Q
This
will
be
the
third
year
with
prairie
state
legal
services
to
provide
a
house,
a
fair
housing
program
and
this
past
year,
in
addition
to
representing
clients
and
providing
outreach
and
education
in
2020,
they
added
in
a
testing
component
to
do
fair
housing,
testing
and
we'll
continue
that
into
2021
as
well,
and
then
for
the
planning
activities.
We
do
partially
fund
a
planning
position
at
the
mclean
county,
regional
planning,
commission
that
helps
with
kind
of
our
long-range
planning
for
how
to
make
sure
that
we
are
maintaining
our
affordable
housing
stock.
Q
Looking
at
supportive
housing
and
those
types
of
things
at
85
000,
we
are
under
our
20
cap
by
quite
a
bit
phil,
so
that's
kind
of
a
high
level
overview
of
the
action
plan.
It
is
available
on
the
website.
If
anybody
really
wants
to
dig
into
the
whole
plan,
and
so
now,
if
we
could
open
it
up
for
questions
and
comments,
and
then
I
guess
there
was
nobody
wanted
to
talk
at
the
public
hearing,
so
we're
good.
There.
F
Thank
you
mayor
and
thanks
jennifer
for
that
presentation
and
and
just
kind
of
looking
through
what
you've
presented,
looks
like
when
we,
you
know
one
of
the
priorities
was
homeless
services,
and
I
noted
that
there
was
some
money
given
to
path.
Is
there
anything
in
what
we're
giving
other
than
that
for
homeless
services.
Q
Yeah,
the
recycling
furniture
for
families
also,
we
is
addressing
homeless
services,
so
they
are
a
resource
that
can
be
used
when
someone
is
housed,
but
has
no
furniture
to
fill
their
apartment.
So
they've
got
a
new
apartment,
they
can
go
to
we
fund
part.
Will
we
find
a
part-time
warehouse
staff
position
so
that
there's
someone
there
to
make
sure
that
the
the
family
that's
exiting
homelessness,
does
have
housewares
for
sure
those
types
of
things.
F
Great
and
then
also
a
priority
was
housing.
Discrimination
services
is
that
the
program
you've
got
with
prairie
states.
H
F
Okay,
that's
what
I
thought
and
in
in
part
of
it
part
of
your
presentation.
You
were
referencing.
The
number
of
homes
that'll
be
rehabilitated
rental,
housing,
yep
47
for
this
year.
Do
you
have
a
universe
of
like
you
know
like
how
how
much
housing
is
in
need
of
that
like?
If
we,
you
know,
had
more
money
to
to
to
give
to
that
like?
What's
the
universe
of
of
rental
housing
that
needs
improved
in
the
community.
Q
Yeah,
I
don't
have
that
information
in
front
of
me,
so
the
47
units
are
primarily
those
income,
qualified
units
for
they're,
the
public
housing
units
and
then
mayor's
manner.
Q
The
additional
20
units
that
we're
going
to
address
just
with
what's
left
of
this
fiscal
year
will
be
units
that
we're
also
going
to
put
blood
hazard,
control
and
then
healthy
housing
money
into,
and
we
expect
to
kick
that
off,
hopefully
later
this
summer,
we'll
be
ready
to
start
taking
applications
for
that
and
we
anticipate
the
need
is
going
to
be
pretty
big
and
since
it's
a
that
program
is
a
pretty
heavy
lift.
Q
We
actually
are
going
to
start
with
owner
occupied
housing,
because
that
is
those
programs
are
a
little
easier
to
manage.
There's
not
as
many
restrictions,
so
our
lead
hazard
control
grant
is
42
months,
so
for
the
first
year,
we're
going
to
focus
on
owner
occupied
and
then
we're
going
to
branch
out
rental
and
multi-family.
Q
So
we
fully
anticipate
that
as
long
as
we
do
a
good
job
with
that
grant,
we
will
have
many
cycles
of
that
grant
before
we
address
all
the
need.
In
addition
to
lead,
we
can
address
address
other
issues
that
our
health
and
safety
concerns.
F
Q
It's
big
and
that
we're
working
towards
trying
to
come
up
with
the
programming
that
we
can
handle
with
the
staff
that
we
have
to
try
to
address
those
start
addressing
those
needs,
because
it's
not
an
area.
We've
really
addressed
much
in
the
past.
P
Yes,
thank
you
just
a
couple
of
questions
about
the
demolitions.
P
Q
I
prove
I'm
sorry
I
could,
but
how
does
that?
Compare
to
previous
years
yeah,
it's
pretty
comparable.
I've
been
with
the
city
about
six
and
a
half
years,
and
we
used
to
do
about
six
to
eight
demolitions
a
year
through
cdbg.
Q
But
since
then
we
have
brought
in
other
sources
of
funding
that
we
can
do
demolitions
with
and
so
by
not
using
our
cdbg
funding
for
demolitions
and
leveraging
those
other
sources.
Then
that
frees
us
up
to
do
other
programming
such
as,
like
the
rental
housing,
I
would
say,
through
our
abandoned
property
program
and
with
that
and
cdbg
combined
we're
probably
still
doing
about
the
same
number
of
demolitions
so
like
between
four
and
six
a
year.
Q
P
And
then
one
other
question
about
the
demolitions,
the
ones
that
are
on
this
list
I
mean:
do
you,
do
you
know
where
they
are?
Can
you
tell
us
that.
Q
I
do
not
have
that
in
front
of
me,
but
I
can
give
you
a
list
of
I
can.
I
can
send
it
out
separately
I'll,
have
to
look
and
see
what
we
still
have
hanging
out
there
on
my
list
that
we
think
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
this
year.
R
Thank
you
mayor
and
thanks
so
much
for
your
work
and
the
presentation.
Jennifer,
I'm
wondering
just
a
little
bit
more
a
big
picture
wise.
How?
R
How
is
is
the
the
funding
for,
let
me
start
again
is
the
funding
for
cdbg
only
provided
through
external
applicants.
In
other
words,
does
the
is
the
city
empowered
at
all
to
make
some
determination
about
how
these
funds
might
be
spent
if
they
meet
the
criteria
that
has
been
designated.
Q
Are
you
just
talking?
Are
you
referring
to
the
applications
that
come
in
via
the
the
rfp
yeah.
R
So,
for
example,
you
know
you
were
you
talked
about
sidewalk
improvements
at
the
corner
of
washington
and
allen,
allen
yeah.
How
is
something
like
that
determined.
Q
And
we
actually
even
ask
our
other
city
departments
to
apply
for
funding,
and
that
way
you
know
we
use
that
grant
management
software
program
to
well
to
manage
the
grants
from
application
to
closeout.
So
by
having
our
even
our
own
departments
apply
for
funding.
Everything
is
in
one
place
and
it's
easier
to
keep
track
of.
R
A
A
Okay,
so
moving
on
to
the
regular
agenda
item
10a
consideration
and
to
an
action
to
approve
an
agreement
with
road
construction
for
the
fy
2022
general
resurfacer
program
in
the
amount
of
5
million
129
000
185.05
dollars,
as
requested
by
the
public
courts
department.
And
at
this
point
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
city
manager.
Gruesome.
J
This
item
every
year
is
typically
just
on
the
consent
agenda,
but
this
year
we
thought
that
we'd
move
it
to
the
regular
agenda,
know
that
this
is
probably
one
of
the
top
two
or
three
items
that
you
as
elected
officials
hear
about
is
the
condition
of
our
roads
very
proud
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
the
amount
of
money
that
we
have
put
in
the
improvements
of
our
roadway
and
the
preservation
of
the
roads,
but
then
also
just
trying
to
take
an
opportunity
of
telling
our
story
sharing
the
progress
in
the
website
that
was
created
and
presentations
by
public
works
definitely
are
a
key
part
of
this
so
thought
I
would
turn
this
over
to
the
public
works
director.
J
S
Thank
you,
city
manager,
gleason,
mayor
and
council.
This
is
something
that
you
saw
back
in
in
march
when
we
went
before
you
with
the
selection
of
streets,
then
also
asking
for
the
permission
to
negotiate
directly
with
rope
construction
for
our
resurfacing.
S
This
map
is
also
available
on
bloomington
street's
website,
and
you
know
this
year
we
we
have
many
more
sections
of
streets
listed,
because
we
we
have
quite
a
few
more
in
the
residential
areas
this
year
last
year.
If
you
remember,
we
had
some
big
major
arterial
roads
such
as
hershey
and
stryden.
You
know
six
points
in
some
different
locations
that
were
bigger
longer
stretches
this
year.
We're
focused
a
lot
more
in
some
neighborhoods.
We
still
have
some.
S
You
know
streets
in
you
know
arterial
and
collector
locations,
but
but
a
lot
more
in
the
residential.
So
this
list
of
streets
is
much
longer
than
last
year
and
as
we
go
along,
we'll
update
bloomington
streets
with
information
for
the
public
about
what
streets
are
coming
up
and
what
streets
have
been
completed
and
also
you
know,
pictures
from
the
progress
being
made
and
then
the
next
slide.
If
I
can
get
it
to
switch
here,
yeah
there
we
go
breaks
out
the
funding.
S
This
year
we
had
7.2
million
in
the
budget
total
and
and
we
break
that
out
into
the
different
aspects
of
resurfacing
and
sidewalk
repairs,
payment
preservation,
and
so
this
pie
chart
shows
you
how
the
7.2
million
this
year
is
being
split
between
the
different
contracts
tonight
you're
considering
the
general
resurfacing
for
just
over
1.5
or
5.1
million
dollars.
S
But
previously
we
had
the
sidewalk
vertical
displacement
contract
at
just
under
90
000,
the
sidewalk
and
curb
ramp
replacement
program
at
just
over
1.1
million,
and
then
the
emergency
multi-street
alley
and
multi-year
street
alley
and
sidewalk
repairs
for
for
just
under
200
000..
The
one
remaining
that
hasn't
been
brought
before
you
yet
is
the
payment
preservation,
we're
still
working
on
that
list
of
streets
for
this
year
and
I'll
be
coming
to
the
council
later,
but
the
the
remaining
budget
is
is
basically
just
under
700
000
for
that.
S
So
this
is
how
it
breaks
out
this
year,
we're
able
to
make
the
list
of
streets
work
with
our
negotiation
with
row
construction
and
make
it
work
within
the
budget
and
we're
excited
to
get
this
project
move
forward.
So
a
real
brief
presentation
tonight,
just
these
two
slides
and
we'll
open
it
up
to
any
questions
you
might
have.
A
Well,
that's
awesome
kevin
right
at
five
minutes
very
impressive,
so
we
have
questions
from
council
members
in
this
order:
council,
member
motni,
council,
member
craybill,
councilmember,
matthew
and
councilmember
ward
and
remember:
we
have
five
minutes
discussion,
so
we
might
have
to
extend
if
you'd
like
me
to.
M
Hi,
thank
you
kevin
your
pavement
rating
software.
What
percentage
and
number
of
the
city
streets
are
rated
at
four
or
below.
S
That's
a
a
great
question.
I
don't
know
that
off
top
my
head,
I'd
have
to
look
and
see
what
that
is,
but
we
we
can
get
that
for
you.
M
Okay,
and-
and
I
I'm
this
is
not
a
scientific
hypothesis
here,
but
just
at
a
quick
look
of
your
rating
software
relative
to
what's
queued
up
for
improvement
it.
It
looks
like
there's
a
whole
lot
of
red
out
there
that
doesn't
make
the
cut
for
improvement.
S
The
the
the
street
ratings,
you
know,
we
we
go
out
and
try
to
rate
roughly
one
one
third
of
the
city
streets
every
year.
We
don't
you
know
just
to
drive
every
street
and
and
get
a
new
rating
every
year
would
take
too
much
staff
time.
So
we
reevaluate
basically
every
street
every
three
years,
the
ones
that
are
lower
in
the
rating
we
might
evaluate
every
year.
Just
because
of
the
you
know,
winters
can
be
hard
around
here
and
streets,
don't
all
deteriorate
at
the
same
rate.
S
But
there,
as
you
know,
there
is
a
need
out
there
and
our
you
know
ratings
then
are
plugged
into
a
software
program
that
helps
to
prioritize
the
different
streets
and
the
different
types
of
treatment
from
payment
preservation
to
resurfacing
and
all
that
type
of
thing,
and
we
do
have
a
breakout
of
of
that
stuff
available.
As
noted
on
bloomington
street's
website,
people
can
look
at
individual
ratings
as
well
on
streets,
but
I.
M
Okay,
so
I
understand
the
algorithm
of
that
software
also
weights,
how
much
traffic
that
street
gets,
which
is
reasonable,
but
if
one
is
on
a
street,
that's
rated-
and
I
guess,
there's
not
a
one
rating
at
least
based
on
looking
at
your
website.
It
looks
like
the
lowest
might
be
a
two.
It's
conceivable
that
a
street
could
be
a
two
for
a
long
time,
maybe
and
not
get
attention,
because
maybe
it's
not
a
street,
that's
traveled
often.
Would
that
be
correct.
S
That's
correct
because
you
know,
as
you
know,
streets
that
have
a
much
lower
volume
such
as
in
a
residential
area.
They
can
hang
on
in
in
a
rough
condition
for
quite
a
few
years,
but
but
those
streets
that
are
the
you
know
the
the
streets
that
carry
a
lot
of
the
city
traffic
also
carry
a
lot
of
truck
traffic.
Typically
and
those
streets
will
will,
you
know,
deteriorate
much
quicker
once
they
get
to
a
certain.
S
You
know
level
of
maintenance,
we're
out
there
all
the
time
on
some
of
the
arterials
to
you
know,
constantly
filling
potholes
and
that
type
of
thing
where
a
residential
street
that
might
only
have
a
hundred
cars
a
day,
doesn't
take
the
same
abuse
as
the
you
know.
The
arterial
so
yeah
the
software
factors
in
in
you
know
the
traffic
volumes
and
and
the
classifications
as
part
of
that
analysis,.
M
Okay
and
while
we've
budgeted
and
we're
spending
money
according
to
that
budget
that
doesn't
catch
us
up,
there
are
still
a
whole
lot
of
streets
out
there.
That
will
be
rated
twos,
threes
and
fours.
That
you
know
are
kind
of
enduring
in
that
state
is.
Is
that
correct.
S
There
there
is,
and-
and
you
know
just
because
the
streets
of
four
depending
on
what
it
is
you
know
as
far
as
a
local
street-
that's
not
necessarily
a
bad
rating.
I
mean
that
that
can
be
a
a
four
can
be
a
street.
That's
you
know
in
a
residential
area
with
with
just
a
few
potholes
that
have
been
filled,
and
it
can
be
at
that
level
for
a
long
time
and
you
know
be
successful.
Does
it
look
brand
new?
S
No,
but
you
know
we're
trying
to,
like
I
say,
use
the
software
to
prioritize.
What
what
will
you
know
give
the
no
stud
you
know
bang
for
the
buck,
so
to
speak.
M
Right,
so
it's
really
those
twos
and
threes
that
I
should
be
looking
at
and
thinking
about
as
people
have
inquired,
you
know,
if
they're
a
two
or
a
three,
maybe
they
have
a
shot
at
making
the
list.
S
Yeah
and
and
remember
to
you
know,
we
try
to
use
the
software
to
group
the
streets
together
as
much
as
possible,
because
our
local
contractor
does
give
us
better
pricing.
If
streets
are
you
know,
contiguous
or
in
the
same
neighborhood
at
least
so
that's
also
something
that's
factored
into
that
selection
process.
A
Thank
you,
councilman
mccready,.
F
Thanks
mayor,
this
will
be
quick.
The
residents
of
of
ward
8
are
very
happy
that
hershey
road
is
being
worked
on.
You
can
see
real
progress
and
so
much
appreciated
thanks
kevin
you're
welcome.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
I
see
that
we
still
have.
We
have
at
least
three
more
hands
up
and
we
should
probably
have
a
motion
to
extend
time.
Ten
minutes.
A
D
A
D
Thank
you
thanks
kevin
for
presentation.
As
always,
you
have
a
remarkable
insight
into
how
we've
got
things
set
up
here.
I
was
just
curious.
I
know
in
the
past
you
have
told
us
that
one
of
the
considerations
into
redoing
a
road
is
whether
or
not
there's
are,
is
infrastructure
underneath
the
road
that
we
need
to
repair
first,
which
totally
makes
sense.
D
I
wondered
if
there
was
a
way
that
we,
as
the
council
members,
could
see
which
roads
kind
of
are
have
been
set
aside
or
pulled
off
of
the
repair
list
temporarily
because
they
have
been
identified
as
there
is
a
foundational
infrastructure
that
we
need
to
repair
first,
so
we
can
communicate
that
with
residents
of
you
know
we
we
always
do
get
a
lot
of.
You
know.
Why
is
my
road
not
on
the
list?
It
hasn't
been
worked
on
in
20
years.
D
If
I
have
the
ability
to
say
well,
we
have
water,
that's
got
to
get
done
or
we
have
sewer.
That's
got
to
get
done
and
we're
working
on
a
plan
to
do
that.
You
know
that
helps
them
understand.
What's
going
on
a
little
bit
is:
is
there
a
way
where
you
can
help
us
find
which,
which
roads
that
that's
you
know,
we've
got
to
have
other
things
fixed
first
before
paving
can
happen.
S
We
could
provide
something
in
that
regard.
Alderman
matthew,
as,
as
you
know,
like
meadowbrook
subdivision,
is
an
example
of
that.
Right
with
you
know
the
roads
and
curb
and
gutter
and
sidewalks
everything's
in
in
really
bad
shape,
but
we
want
to
get
in
there
and
fix
the
stuff
underground,
first,
new
water,
main
and
so
forth.
S
So
we
do
have
that
factored
into
the
software
we
use
that
holds
us
until
we
can
get
those
projects
done
and
we
could
we
can,
if
you,
if
you
think,
it'd
be
worthy,
we
can
probably
even
get
that
out
on
the
bloomington
streets
website.
If
you
want.
D
Yeah
I
mean,
I
think,
that'd
be
good
for
people
to
know
that
why
their
road,
you
know
right
now,
it's
public
access
and
anybody
can
see
reds
or
greens
on
the
bloomington
streets.com
site
a
plug
plug
for
that
for
you
guys,
but
if
we
could
get
the
other
part
that
says
these
ones
we
we
know
we
have
work,
we
got
to
do
first
and
then
people
can
contrast
and
compare
to
go.
D
L
P
The
presentation,
a
couple
of
questions
about
the
sidewalk
budget:
how
of
the
of
what
you
were.
P
To
tonight,
how
much
of
that
is
the
50
50
arrangement
and
and
how
much
of
it
isn't.
S
Yeah,
the
the
sidewalk
50
50
program
is,
is
typically
in
that
50
60
000
range
for
citizen
participation,
so
overall
we're
usually
looking
at
about
a
hundred
thousand
some
years.
We
have,
you
know
a
great
deal
of
participation
in
other
years,
not
so
much.
We
use
all
the
money,
that's
budgeted
in
the
public
budget,
but
obviously
money
goes
a
little
bit
further
if
we
have
private
partners
in
it,
and
so
that's
why
we
do
include
that.
S
P
S
We
do
have
a
layer
in
the
gis
internal
that
we
use,
for
you,
know
our
sidewalk
ratings
and
I
don't
know
that
we
have
it
out
on
bloomington
street.
So
I
can
look
into
that
and
see
that
a
sidewalk
rating
isn't
updated
quite
as
frequently
as
the
streets
and
so
forth.
But
you
know
a
lot
of
the
sidewalk
aspects.
Deal
with.
S
S
They're
going
to
be
resurfaced
and
while
we're
there,
we
also
work
diligently
to
make
sure
that
the
sidewalk
mid
block
is
all
ada
accessible
as
well,
because
when
we
leave
a
neighborhood
we'd
like
to
have
everything
accessible,
you
know
for
for
the
neighborhood
when
we're
done
there,
but
there
certainly
is
a
lot
of
need
across
the
city
on
sidewalks
as
well
as
you
know,
and
you
know,
beyond
the
you
know,
resurfacing
program
in
50
50.
S
We
try
to
prioritize
the
remainder
of
the
money
for
people
with
with
needs,
and
you
know
try
to
get
to
the
complaints
and
the
needs
as
quick
as
we
can.
P
Well,
I'd
really
just
like
to
encourage.
You
know
posting
that
kind
of
a
map,
because
I
think
giving
people
an
idea
of
what
to
expect
is.
It
could
be
really
useful.
S
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Councilmember
ward,
councilman
becker.
E
S
That
that
is
based
on
you
know,
yeah
the
research
and
studies
we've
done
yes,
so.
E
That
means
that,
because
we
didn't
start
at
a
level
playing
field,
that
the
7.2
isn't
enough
to
keep
us
going
in
the
right
direction,
therefore,
if
what
is
the
limiting
factor
on
the
work
we
do,
if
I
told
you,
you
had
10
million,
could
you
get
the
subcontractor
to
do
more
this
year
or
is
time
and
resources
also
part
of
it?
Besides,
money.
S
It
can
be
a
factor
of
all
those
things
there
is,
you
know
competing
interests,
not
just
at
the
city
of
bloomington,
but
you
know
whether
it's
the
town,
normal,
the
you
know,
state
of
illinois
there's
other
work
going
on
around,
so
that
does
factor
into
how
much
can
get
done
in
a
year,
but
in
general
the
contractor
locally
has
resources
to
do
it.
But,
like
I
say
there
is
competing
interests.
S
Well-
and
you
know,
there
is
a
combination
of
strategy
there
as
well
with
you
know,
pavement
preservation
and
you
know
newer
technologies
there
as
well,
as
you
know,
resurfacing
out.
Obviously
everybody
wants
a
new
street,
but
you
know
there's
ways
to
extend
the
life
of
the
payment
as
well,
and
so
that's
why
we
try
to
balance
the
budget
to
include
payment
preservation
strategies
as
well.
E
Okay,
one
last
quick
one,
and
thank
you
for
that
similar
to.
I
think
it
was
jamie
that
brought
it
up.
I
get
a
lot
of
questions.
You
went
down
my
street
four
times
last
year
and
you
cut
up
a
square.
You
know
a
20
by
20
square
in
four
different
places,
but
the
road's
still
awful,
and
you
left
things
that,
were
you
know,
20
feet
down
the
road
in
horrible
condition.
I
know
there's
reasons
I
grew
up
in
a
concrete
family.
I
know
a
little
bit
about
that.
E
Can
we
get
that
information
out
as
to
why
we're
doing
what
we're
doing
where
we're
doing
it?
So
when
it's
in
tipton?
Oh,
this
was
to
fix
a
water
main.
This
was
to
fix.
You
know
a
sewer.
This
was
to
that
information
would
really
help
us
keep
support
for
the
city
and
the
workers
that
are
doing
good
work
because
we
could
answer
with
good,
solid
data.
So
if
you
could
get
us
a
little
more
information,
I
think
that
would
be
helpful.
S
We'll
we'll
see
what
we
can
do
there
alderman
becker.
I
can't
promise
anything
real
quick
because,
as
you
know,
you
know,
city
crews
go
out
and
and
at
streets
for
a
number
of
reasons,
and
so
adding
that
to
our
tracking
list.
We
will
something
we'll
look
at
working
on,
but
can't
promise
you
anything
real,
quick
on
that.
E
M
S
We
we
don't
track
that
right
now,
you
know
not
every
injury
is
reported
to
the
city
either.
You
know
some
file
claims
against
the
city's
insurance
and
so
forth.
Some
might
file
a
lawsuit,
but
not
every
case
is
reported
to
the
city
when,
when
they
do
report
it
to
the
city,
we
work
very
quickly
to
get
barricades
placed.
S
You
know
where
the
hazard
is
that,
hopefully
no
one
else
gets
injured
before
you
know
we
can
get
there
to
fix
it
type
of
thing,
but
you
know
obviously
there's
you
know
across
the
city
a
lot
of
sidewalk
distresses
that
you
know
could
cause
somebody
to
trip
or
fall,
and
you
know
when
we
find
out
about
them.
We
try
to
take
care
of
them
as
quick
as
we
can.
S
Yeah
not
not
in
particular,
you
know
we'll
we'll
do
the
you
know.
The
vertical
displacement
contract
is
to
help
eliminate
those
trip
hazards
and
we'll
go
through
a
neighborhood
with
you
know
that
contract
and
work
to
eliminate
all
those
in
a
certain
neighborhood,
but
but
across
the
city
city-wide
we
don't
track
those.
S
B
A
Okay,
thank
you
see
no
other
hands.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
item
as
presented.
D
F
F
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
The
item
passes
are
no
names
to
announce
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
consideration
and
action
on
an
ordinance
authorizing
a
lease
agreement
between
the
sea
of
wilmington
and
the
livington
normal
area
convention
and
visitors
bureau
for
the
respace
at
the
arena,
as
requested
by
the
administration
department,
city
manager,
gleason.
J
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
We're
actually
very
excited
about
this
item.
This
is
something
that
started
late
last
summer.
Early
fall
credit
for
the
idea
actually
goes
to
the
former
chairman
of
the
cbd
board
former
counts
county
board,
member
carlo
robistelli
and
then
also
our
former
alderman
scott
black.
So
the
conversations
started
then
cbb
is
currently
located
out
at
the
central
illinois.
J
J
J
We
also
have
the
executive
director
crystal
howard
on
on
the
call,
if
there's
any
questions
of
her,
but
this
is
a
lease
for
the
administrative
space
that
was
formally
occupied
by
venue
works
and
also
provides
a
retail
opportunity
at
the
street
level,
not
the
ticket
windows,
the
secondary
ticket
windows,
but
that
retail
space
that,
if
anybody's
ever
been
there
for
past
hockey
events
it's
where
some
of
the
items
were
purchased
sold
out
of
that
location,
I'm
going
to
not
necessarily
turn
it
over
to
crystal
or
the
deputy
city
manager.
J
But
if
there's
any
questions
they
are
available
for
response
excited
about
this
and
our
request
approval.
Thank
you,
mayor.
K
Yeah
I
had
the
little
sketch
in
front
of
me
and
I'm
assuming
that
on
exhibit
a
the
pink
or
coral
colored
is
the
office
space,
the
large
office
space,
that's
going
to
be
converted
for
the
the
employees
and
then
above
above
that
is
a
yellow.
Looking
thing
I'm
assuming.
That
is
the
suite
that
will
be.
No.
Could
somebody
tell
me
what
that
is.
J
Go
ahead,
billy
or
crystal.
T
Mayor
and
council
members
that
is
actually
conference
room
space
that
is
available
to
be
utilized
for
meetings
and
other
events,
but
it
is
not
the
sweet
space.
It
is
a
space
that
is
immediately
adjacent
to
that.
K
Okay,
so
the
coral
is
like
the
offices
like
they
had
at
the
airport
and
then
the
the
yellowest
conference.
Where
would
the
suite
be
located
or
is
that
just
a
temporary.
T
Option
there
are
suites
throughout
the
arena,
space
that
are
often
leased
for
events
and
the
thought
for
use
of
those
by
the
cvb
is
when
you
have
someone
in
town
looking
to
sell
them
or
using
the
the
arena
that
those
suites
could
be
utilized
to
to
to
bring
them
in
and
show
them.
You
know
what
you
can
do
there,
but.
K
Okay,
so
there's
not
going
to
be
a
specific
suite
set
aside,
it's
just
going
to
be,
if
there's
one
available
right,
okay
and
then
on
exhibit
b
that
orange
space,
I
guess
is
that's
that's
where
you
used
to
be
the
concession
or
where
you
could
sell
stuff
that
you
were
referencing
correct.
T
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Councilmember
monty
has
a
question.
M
How,
if
it
all,
would
this
impact
future
marketability
of
the
space
to
another
tenant
say,
for
example,
if
the
ushl
hockey
team
came
forward
again,
you
know,
looking
back
at
some
of
the
financials,
it
almost
looked
like
with
a
better
agreement.
They
could
have
provided
kind
of
a
bread
and
butter
income
stream.
J
Alderman,
older
woman
monteney,
this
was
definitely
an
area
that
staff
took
into
consideration
along
with
the
cbb
board.
This
is
one
that
they
want
to
know.
What
was
the
long-term
use
of
the
arena
going
to
be?
We
feel
very
confident
that
we
can
share
this
space
as
we
are
looking
at
what
the
long-term
viability
of
the
arena
is.
The
management
company
of
the
arena
if
it
is
actually
going
to
be
outsourced
at
some
point
in
the
future,
that
we
have
additional
space
that
we
could
turn
into
administrative
sweet
space
within
the
arena.
M
Well,
I
would
think
you
know
a
win-win
there
for
people
who
do
travel
in
to
have
the
opportunity
to
visit
the
the
bureau.
I
think
that
would
be
wonderful.
I
mean
I've
been
to
the
location
at
the
airport
and-
and
this
would
be
great
to
have
it
in
a
location
where
people
could
see
all
that
they
have
to
offer
promoting
the
community.
A
Okay,
thank
you
councilman
vermont.
Next,
I
believe
we
have
council,
member
matthew,
correct.
D
Yeah
I
was
going
to
I
just
agree
with
what
sheila
said:
I've
been
involved
in
some
of
the
plans
to
try
to
get
people
to
move
to
the
area
or
bring
their
events
to
the
area
in
the
past,
and
I
just
think
this
is
a
brilliant
idea
and
just
wanted
to
say
congratulations
to
billy
and
crystal
and
everybody
else
who
made
this
happen
because
you
know
everything
about
this
is
a
is
a
win-win
scenario,
so
good
job,
everybody.
A
A
A
Arm
wrestle
for
it
virtual,
no,
okay,
all
right!
So,
madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll
council.
D
R
R
C
E
B
C
F
A
Okay,
thank
you.
The
item
passes
there
are
no
needs
to
announce.
Next
item
is
item
c
and
consideration.
Potential
action
regarding
ordinance,
2028
bonus,
extended
local
emergency
due
to
covet
19
virus
and
enacting
various
emergency
measures,
and
I
do
not
believe
we
have
any
changes.
Is
that
correct,
jason.
J
No,
we
don't
mayor,
but
I
did
have
a
couple
of
comments
regarding
this
in
light
of
some
of
the
updates
out
of
the
cdc
and
state
of
illinois.
If
I
could
have
just
a
couple
of
minutes
sure
right
now,
I
think
everybody's
seeing
the
updates
from
the
cdc
we're
in
that
bridge
phase
for
the
state
of
illinois,
as
directed
by
governor
pritzker,
some
might
be
asking.
So
when
does
the
emergency
ordinance
go
away
at
some
point
in
the
future?
J
It's
definitely
not
what
we're
recommending
at
this
time-
and
I
think
I
want
to
share
with
the
community
and
with
the
elected
body
here
that
when
we
first
enacted
the
emergency
ordinance,
a
lot
of
this
was
to
streamline
and
make
possible
things
to
accommodate
the
business
community.
Our
emergency
ordinance
was
not
about
enforcement
and
any
of
this
with
pandemic
so
some
day
when
the
emergency
ordinance
goes
away,
some
of
the
things
that
were
brought
forward
and
used
primarily
for
the
business
community.
J
We
are
working
to
formalize
those
processes.
J
This
is
something
that
would
come
before
council
at
some
point
in
the
future,
but
then
the
other
thing
that
I
was
going
to
share
very
quickly
is
some
questions
regarding
in-person
council
meetings,
we're
still
under
the
original
governor
pritzker
administrative
order
or
emergency
order
regarding
meetings
and
it's
still
a
10
person
capacity,
which
is
why
you
see
our
council
electing
to
remain
virtual.
I
just
want
to
share
those
two,
like
the
mayor,
said
no
requested
modifications
to
the
emergency
ordinance
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
to
the
manager
jason.
At
this
point,
we
are
going
to
move
to
the
next
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
a
finance
director's
report
and
scott
is
caught
on
the
line.
I'm
assuming.
J
Finance
director
was
on
the
line
there,
and
this
is
the
end
of
month,
the
last
council
meeting
of
the
month.
We
always
have
the
finance
director's
report
for
the
new
members
to
the
council.
J
This
is
one
that
was
created
about
three
years
ago,
where
we
provide
a
snapshot
and
a
lot
of
times
when
we're
talking
the
fy
22
budget,
coveted
numbers,
but
our
actual
current
fy
21
financial
summary
and
our
current
fy
22
budget.
This
is
that
snapshot
that
we
talked
about
at
a
30,
000
foot
level
and
can
definitely
take
this
a
little
bit
lower.
J
If
that's
the
request
of
council
also,
we
continue
to
trend
very
well
for
a
community
amidst
a
pandemic
and
again
I
say
that
saying
that
there
is
a
negative
financial
impact
to
our
community,
but
we
are
doing
very
well
compared
to
many
other
communities
and
that
credit
does
in
fact
go
to
the
community
coming
out
and
consuming
and
supporting
over
the
course
of
15
16
months
amidst
the
pandemic,
scott,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you.
U
Thank
you,
city
manager,
gleason.
I
I
was
going
to
make
a
couple
of
general
announcements.
U
Initially
we
did
receive
our
first
installment
tranche
if
you
will
of
the
american
rescue
plan
for
6.7
million
dollars,
so
we
put
in
our
application
for
that
and
that
has
been
received
related
to
the
presentation
we
went
through
last
week.
So
more
conversations
to
come
related
to
that,
but
an
update
there,
the
fy
2022
final
adopted
budget
we
committed
to
having
that
online
by
the
end
of
the
month,
and
we
are
on
schedule
for
that.
U
It
is,
may
we
we
just
ended.
Q
U
Fiscal
year,
which
ends
on
april
30th,
but
I
want
to
highlight-
and
that
is
why
I
underlined
the
word
preliminary
here
on
this
first
screen-
we
have
lagging
revenue
categories,
our
sales
taxes
won't
be
finalized
until
next
month
in
june,
and
there's
actually
a
three
month
lag
in
sales.
Tax
activity.
U
The
month
of
the
sale
occurs
the
next
month
the
retailer
remits
to
the
state.
The
state
then
takes
a
month
to
compile
the
information,
and
then
we
receive
our
tax
receipts
that
third
month,
our
revenue
policy
only
allows
us
to
back
date,
60
days
so
that
it
even
adds
more
confusion
to
the
situation.
U
So
our
june
receipts
will
actually
be
from
march
sales
activity,
but
we'll
be
back
getting
those
to
april.
So
this
report
is
going
to
be
consistent
with
the
ones
we've
done
previously
through
the
year.
In
other
words,
this
will
be
for
activity
that
was
booked
by
the
end
of
april
next
month.
When
we
do
the
the
financial
director's
report,
we
may
spend
a
little
bit
more
time,
we'll
be
doing
a
period
to
date.
U
Report
so
revenues
that
were
received
at
the
beginning
of
june
for
sales
tax
will
include
those
we're
going
to
do
this
same
financial
report
again
next
month.
So
again,
this
is
preliminary
year-end
we're
still
using
projections
because
we
have
a
couple
more
months
to
go.
We
do
have
some
visibility
on
may,
but
we
won't
be
able
to
finalize
and
give
you
a
somewhat
close
number
until
next
month.
Next
slide,
please.
U
So
so
to
highlight
what
I
just
explained:
if
you
you
know,
if
you
look
out
to
the
right,
you
see
the
number
of
months
collected,
you
can
see
that
the
the
state,
the
sales
taxes
are,
you
know
a
month
lag
behind.
Most
of
our
other
revenue
categories.
U
Having
said
that,
our
revenues
are
really
stabilizing,
if
not
rebounding
very
well.
If
you
look
at
the
far
right
column,
you
can
see
the
last
month's
variance.
You
know
home
rule
sales
tax,
just
3.86
under
budget.
You
know
in
home
rule
we're
budgeting
up
to
two
million
dollars
a
month.
In
that
category
you
can
see
state
sales
tax
was
actually
12
over
budget
for
the
last
month.
Out
of
the
eight
months
were
reported
here
for
state
sales
tax.
U
U
We
are
anticipating
that
a
majority
of
that
1.2
million
dollars
that
we
had
budgeted
as
that
final
income
tax
payment
for
the
year
will
get
pushed
out
into
fy
2022
due
to
the
the
deadline
postponement
same
as
last
year,
but
when
we
did
the
budget
for
fy21,
we
did
not
assume
that
that
deadline
would
get
pushed
out
again,
but
we
actually
beat
the
budget
for
the
month
for
income
tax,
so
that
was
a
kind
of
a
tremendous
swing
in
what
we
were
expecting
that
income
tax
category
has
done
very
well
for
us
for
the
year
income
tax
and
replacement
tax.
U
Those
two
categories
combined
they're
finalized
income
tax
is
not
reflected
as
finalized
here,
but
with
the
may
activity.
Those
two
categories
have
come
in
1.6
million
dollars
over
budget
year-to-date.
So
many
businesses
in
the
pandemic
have
fared
very
well.
You
know
the
big
box
stores
on
online
retailers
etc,
and
that
has
had
a
tremendous
positive
impact
on
the
community.
U
So
you
know
we
we
keep
our
projections
pretty
conservative
throughout
the
year,
but
when
we're
getting
down
to
this
this,
this
part
of
the
fiscal
year
with
basically
one
more
month,
you
know
we
get
some
confidence
in
adjusting
those
projections,
so
you're
going
to
see
that
in
a
moment
with
the
general
fund,
we've
adjusted
our
projections
upward
for
the
year
with
that
one
month
remaining
next
slide,
please
so
I'd
like
to
draw
your
attention
to
the
one
two
three
fourth
column
with
the
red
projection
budget
adjustments,
so
these
are
anticipated
of
variances
from
budget.
U
As
of
now
now
we're
still
being
conservative.
At
this
point
in
time
we
still
have
another
month
of
revenues
to
recognize
and
those
those
sales
tax,
approximately
three
million
dollars
a
month,
so
they
could.
They
could
swing
dramatically
at
this
point
in
time.
If
you
look
all
the
way
down
at
the
bottom,
we
have
changed
our
projection
to
show
a
1.3
million
dollar
positive
variance
from
budget
the
prior
month.
U
We
were
basically
a
break,
even
but
now,
with
with
the
recent
developments
in
income
tax,
we're
moving
at
the
1.3
million
roughly
now
I
want
to
highlight
in
that
column
you
can
at
the
very
top.
You
can
see
that
there's
3.16
million
dollars
in
local
cure
funds,
so
without
that
local
cure,
we
would
be
at
a
1.8
million
negative
variance
to
budget
now
the
column.
Next.
To
that
to
the
right
is
our
projected
year-end
totals
for
those
categories.
U
U
I
know
I'm
jumping
around
on
this
exhibit,
but
the
planned
use
of
fund
balance
upper
left
corner
very
first
line,
734
000.,
so
a
use
of
fund
balance
is
basically
a
planned
deficit,
so
we're
using
our
reserves
to
pay
for
our
activity,
and
that
was
related
primarily
to
the
pension,
restricted
pension
reserves
to
fund
our
pensions,
so
we're
showing
a
positive
1.3
million
dollar
variance
to
budget.
But
within
that
we
had
a
734
000
planned
deficit
for
the
year.
So
that's
why
we're
at
the
599
net.
I
hope.
U
The
comment
I'd
like
to
make
right
now
is:
you
know
our
fund
balance
is
is
in
very
good
shape.
We
started
the
year
24.9
million
dollars
right
now,
due
to
that
local
cure
funding.
For
that
grant
that
we
received
last
year,
we
could
potentially
looking
be
looking
at
an
addition
to
fund
balance,
but,
depending
on
how
we
finish
the
year
and
discussions
with
with
the
city
manager,
we
may
be
recommending
doing
a
transfer
related
to
capital
projects.
U
We
have
big
funding,
needs
that
are
coming
down
the
road
at
the
arena,
the
rooftop
units
there,
one
million
dollars
each-
are
in
very
bad
condition,
so
that
might
be
a
use
of
those
funds.
Once
we
get
a
better
visibility
on
our
surplus
next
month,
as
opposed
to
just
adding
that
to
fund
balance
designated
those
two
specific
capital
projects
at
council's
discretion.
U
U
We
are
not
anticipating
utilizing
that
fund
balance
a
lot
of
those
projects
got
rolled
from
year
to
year
over
on
solid
waste
pertaining
to
some
of
the
discussions
that
we've
had
recently
related
to
some
of
the
struggles
for
that
fund.
U
The
other
highlight
I
wanted
to
point
out
is
golf
a
very
positive
year
for
golf
93
percent
revenues
versus
budget.
I
I
think
that
is
something
to
celebrate.
You
know,
there's
been
a
resurgence
in
golf
chris
tamerlan,
the
budget
manager
was
commenting
on
an
article.
You
read
about
nationally,
there's
been
a
resurgence,
so
it's
a
good
thing
for
that
fund
and
for
the
community
in
general.
U
And
that
is
it
for
tonight
any
questions
at
this
point
in
time
again
we
will
be
doing
april
next
month
or
april,
we'll
be
doing
fy
2021
again
next
month.
We
will
have
complete
visibility
on
all
the
revenues
to
that
point.
So
a
pretty
good
idea
of
where
we're
going
to
end
the
year
I
mean
the
audit
takes
it
literally
takes
five
months
five
to
six
months,
for
the
audit
to
get
complete,
so
number
will
be
moving
for
some
time,
but
probably
not
materially
after
after
the
beginning
of
june.
A
I
do
not
see
any
hands
up.
Thank.
B
A
Questions:
okay,
awesome
all
right!
Thank
you
very
much.
Scott
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
our
city
manager's
discussion,
the
amenity.
J
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council
just
a
couple
of
quick
comments.
Phil
if
you
would
display
the
first
slide,
downtown
farmers
market
it's
every
saturday
morning,
7
30
to
12.,
I've
actually
been
down
there.
We've
had
decent
weather,
and
hopefully
that
continues.
These
are
well
attended
and
you
can
tell
they're
very
much
appreciated
by
the
farmers
and
the
other
vendors
down
there,
and
also
the
residents
of
the
community.
J
Next
slide
could
be
first
friday,
yes
june
4th
5
to
8
p.m,
cogs
and
corsets.
This
is
one
that
is
a
highlight
for
the
downtown
and
hopefully,
in
light
of
some
of
the
changes
from
the
cdc.
J
This
is
very
well
attended,
so
this
is
coming
up
on
not
this
friday,
but
next
any
other
slides
phil,
and
I
do
not
think
so.
One
thing
that
I
wanted
to
share
real
quick
is:
we
just
did
finish
up.
Public
works
recognition
week
last
week,
so
very
appreciative
to
all
the
work
that
the
public
works
team
does
for
kevin
cothy
as
the
director
and
that's
all
I've
got
tonight
mayor.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
City
manager,
gleason
under
mayor's
discussion,
just
wanted
to
thank
city
manager,
gleason
and
the
staff
for
navigating
through
a
very
difficult
set
of
circumstances.
A
A
He
and
I
had
exchanged
with
last
week
where
we
discussed
the
best
course
of
action,
and
I
believe
what
he
just
shared
tonight
reflects
what
best
works
for
bloomington
prioritizing
safety,
the
safety
of
all
of
all.
With
that
in
mind,
I
I
again
would
encourage
those
that
have
not
been
vaccinated
to
do
so
as
soon
as
possible
and
for
those
who
have
not
been.
A
And
for
those
also
for
those
who
have
not
been
vaccinated
to
wear
a
mask,
wherever
indicated
out
of
concern
for
the
folks
who
are
vulnerable
to
the
virus
and
the
folks
that
we
all
care
about.
So
the
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
mention
remind
people
that
next
monday
is
memorial
day
and
well.
We
do
not
have
a
parade
planned
due
to
prove
it,
which
is
one
that
I
always
look
forward
to
every
year.
A
I
hope
everybody
has
an
opportunity
to
honor
the
lives
of
those
who
died
once
while
serving
the
us
military,
and
that
is
all
I
have
for
tonight,
so
we'll
move
next
to
council
members,
discussion.
A
And
let's
see
councilman
matthew.
D
Thank
you
mayor
first,
I
just
wanted
to
let
everybody
know
that
council,
member
creo
did
send
an
email
in
that
she's
been
having
internet
issues
and
you
might
have
seen
her
connect
and
disconnect
like
five
times
as
she's
been
fighting
with
internet
issues
trying
to
stay
online.
So
just
a
few.
If
people
wondered
why
she
was
popping
in
and
out
she
let
us
all
know
that
it
was
a
problem
she's
been
experiencing
tonight.
D
I
also
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
everybody
in
finance
and
administration
who
got
us
through
the
craziness
that
was
the
2021
budget
year.
We
had
to
do
some
fast
pivoting
and
changes
on
the
fly
and
they
made
it
happen
and
we
came
out
of
it.
You
know
some
of
the
projections
that
they
put
forward
early
on.
I
was
like,
oh
god.
D
I
hope
that
doesn't
happen,
but
you
know
we
were
pretty
spot
on,
so
it
really
says
something
to
about
the
the
group
of
people
that
just
kind
of
nailed
that
whole
process
there
and
made
it.
So
we
had
realistic
information
to
operate
from
throughout
the
year
as
well,
and
then
the
final
yeah.
I
saw
that
julie.
Thank
you,
yeah.
Everybody
should
be
clapping
for
them
for
for
making
it
so
that
this
worked
out
pretty
well
and
then.
D
The
final
thing
I
was
just
gonna
say,
is
you
know
once
we
get
back
to
meeting
in
person
there,
I
really
hope
that
we
can
figure
out
a
way
to
give
people
traveling
on
business
the
option
of
using
zoom
to
connect
in
because
as
somebody
who
travels
and
had
to
miss
several
time
meetings
a
year
or
dial
into
them.
D
This
experience
is
so
much
better
than
the
old
dial-in
system
that
we
had
to
use
before,
and
so
you
know,
I'm
really
hoping
that
craig
and
the
it
team
can
come
up
with
a
way,
and
it
probably
involves
jeff
as
well
to
make
it
so
that
we
can
legally
use
zoom
or
something
similar
to
this
to
connect
in
for
people
who
are
traveling
on
business.
So
because
this
I
was
just
reflecting
the
other
day
of
how
bad
the
prior
experience
was
compared
to
and
that's
it.
D
I
hope
everybody
is
has
a
great
weekend
coming
up
and
and
thank
you
for
pointing
out
the
remembrance
part
of
imoka
on
memorial
day.
G
Actually
yeah,
this
is
a
actually
a
follow-up
to
jamie's
comment.
I
guess
I
wondered
in
terms
of
going
back
to
meeting
in
person
and
maybe
city
manager
gleeson
could
answer
this.
Are
we
just
waiting
for
the
governor's
change
of
instructions,
or
is
this
something
that
the
group
has
some
input
in?
I
guess
I'm
just
wondering
what
the
process
is
for
moving
back
to
a
face-to-face
meeting
format.
J
Alderman
crumpler,
we
do
have
the
ability
now
that
if
any
of
the
elected
officials
chose
to
be
in
person,
we
can
make
that
accommodation,
even
the
current
diets
here
at
the
city
hall,
where
the
city
clerk
and
myself
have
been
this
entire
time.
If
I
had
all
of
my
council
members
choose
to
return
to
in
person,
we
could
set
this
up
with
plexiglass
and
sort
of
stretch
out
a
little
bit
into
the
walkway
area
so
that
we're
safely
distanced
for
the
blend
of
those
that
have
been
vaccinated
or
have
not
been
vaccinated.
J
So
it's
really
it's
up
to.
A
Okay,
council
member
cradle.
F
F
I
also
wanted
to
note
in
remembrance
the
tomorrow
marks
the
one
year
since
george
floyd
was
murdered
by
a
minneapolis
police
officer
and
since
then
181
black
people
have
been
killed
by
police.
F
So
we
can
continue
to
try
to
to
do
better
and
also
wanted
to
point
out
that
you
know
interactions
between
the
police
and-
and
you
know,
isn't
just
heart
necessarily
sometimes
harmful
to
community.
It's
also
harmful
to
our
police
officers,
noting
the
the
tragic
death
of
champaign
police
officer
chris
oberheim
over
the
past
week,
related
to
a
domestic
disturbance.
F
So
I
hope
we
can
look
at
you
know
as
a
nation
as
community
on
ways
that
we
can
reduce
those
interactions
or
or
make
them
safer
and
one
last
thing
juneteenth
celebration,
I
believe,
starts
on
june
14th,
which
is
the
monday
of
our
next
meeting
through
june
19th.
It's
going
to
be
virtual.
F
There's
going
to
be
presentations,
I
believe
6
p.m.
Every
night
and
then
saturday
there's
going
to
be
a
panel
discussion.
F
Where
do
we
go
from
here
and
then
some
celebration
performances,
I'm
not
sure
if
those
will
be
virtual
or
in
person,
but
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
and
hopefully
some
more
information
will
be
shared,
so
the
community
can
can
join
as
well
and
that's
all
I
have
thanks.

Okay,
thank
you,
councilmember
craybill,
I
do
not
see
any
other
hands
and
I
believe
we
do
not
have
an
executive
session.
So
at
this
point
I
will
entertain
a
motion.
