A
Can
everyone
hear
me
good
with
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
and
we
have
a
flag,
at
least
in
our
minds,
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
United
States
of
America
and
to
the
Republic
for
which
it
stands,
one
nation
under
God
indivisible
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all.
Thank
you.
If
we
would
just
have
a
moment
of
silence,
I
appreciate
that.
C
A
A
Thank
you
very
much,
I
appreciate
that
we're
gonna
start
actually
in
a
slightly
different
way.
We
have
had
regular
city
manager
updates
before
public
comment,
but
mr.
Gleeson
and
I
spoke
and
I
thought
it
was
really
important
for
us
to
hear
not
just
from
our
city
manager,
on
covin
and
general
updates
before
public
comment,
but
also
from
our
chief
elected
executive
myself,
the
mayor
and
our
elected
all
the
men
and
women
before
public
comment.
A
D
D
The
covent
comments
for
tonight,
I
have
a
handful
of
the
Cova
testing
site
at
the
interstate
center
is
owned,
also
making
council
aware
that
there
are
potentially
two
violations
by
this
named
establishment
for
the
hours
of
operation
clause
in
the
emergency
order
that
will
come
before
or
the
liquor
commissioner,
which
is
the
mayor.
Are
you
guys
hearing
feedback
a.
D
I'm
gonna
continue
next
item
under
Kovac
comments.
We
are
seeing
an
initial
returns
on
read
on
revenues
during
the
kovat
timeframe
and
very
pleased
what
we
are
seeing,
at
least
in
these
initial
Cova
timeframe,
that
sales
tax
specifically
is
exceeding
what
we
put
as
a
50
to
50
percent
loss,
projection,
probably
attributable
to
box
stores
having
curbside
grocery
stores
and
liquor
establishments
being
open
as
well,
but
obviously
a
more
in-depth.
D
At
the
finance
directors
report
on
June
22nd
also
reminder
to
the
community
that,
with
the
approval
of
consent
item
11
F,
there
will
be
a
minimum
of
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
CO
vyd
related
community
aid
to
residents
and
businesses.
Four
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
of
that
is
CDBG
and
there's
a
minimum
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
with
the
township.
So.
D
Number
and
that
was
placed
on
consent,
and
if
my
manager
comments
would
have
been
at
the
end,
I
would
have
waited
until
after,
but
I
didn't
want
to
just
skip
over
how
great
an
opportunity
that
is
for
the
community
and
that's
at
the
hands
of
this
council
phase,
three
reopening
bars
and
restaurants.
Many
compliments
citywide,
but
especially
from
the
downtown
business
owners.
To
me
personally
and
through
you
guys,
this
was
an
all-hands-on-deck
moment
for
staff.
D
Businesses
needed
this,
as
did
our
community,
and
it's
gone
very
well,
but
with
that
said
more
to
come
with
lane
closures
that
have
been
talked
about
for
several
years,
we
target
wrapping
up
the
plan
by
this
Friday
and
completing
the
work
early
next
week,
and
that's
all
I've
got
a
mayor
and
council
under
the
kovat
comments.
Let's.
D
Gleason
Thank
You,
mayor
and
council,
a
handful
of
city
manager
comments
just
a
reminder
on
census.
2020,
it's
still
going.
You
know
please
reach
out,
try
to
get
as
many
people
to
the
census
website
to
complete
that
and
we're
still
ranking.
Mclean
County
is
still
ranking
among
the
highest
of
Illinois
counties.
Also
for
community
development.
In
our
city,
planner
Katie
Simpson
preservation
plan
update
in
light
of
koban
19.
We
have
pivoted
our
outreach
strategies
to
a
virtual
public
workshop.
The
workshop
is
posted
on
the
Planning
Division
homepage
and
would
be
shared
on
social
media.
E
D
The
vision
for
the
community
dead
space
belongs
to
my
elected
to
our
community's
elected
officials,
but
I
am
responsible
for
the
following:
ensuring
the
community
is
informed
and
our
primary
source
of
communicating
is
the
Bloomington
Police,
Department,
Facebook,
page
and
other
means,
and
also
in
keeping
the
immunity
safe.
The
Bloomington
police
and
fire
are
the
best
and
that
I
turn
all
of
the
conversations
that
are
occurring
amongst
a
variety
of
passionate
and
engaged
groups
into
opportunities
to
build
upon
existing
efforts
and
to
continue
to
improve
this
great
community.
D
A
You
so
much
mr.
Gleason.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
that.
You've
done
in
this
very
difficult
time-
and
certainly
we
all
know
this
past
week
or
so
has
been
a
very
tumultuous
time,
to
say
the
least
for
Bloomington,
for
our
community
for
our
nation
and
just
as
we're
in
the
midst
of
of
trying
to
recover
from
the
Cova
crisis,
we
had
a
series
of
protests
in
the
wake
of
the
unspeakable
tragedy
and
murder
of
George
Floyd
in
Minneapolis.
A
However,
at
the
same
time,
it
should
be
clear
crystal
clear
that,
in
terms
of
our
law
enforcement
practices
and
relationships
with
the
communities
and
neighborhoods
in
our
great
city
that
we
can
do
better,
we
must
do
better
and
we
will
do
better.
We
cannot
have
a
militarized
violence
against
citizens
in
our
city.
That's
unacceptable
and
that's
why
I
made
a
pledge
over
the
weekend
that
was
requested
by
former
President
Barack
Obama
of
the
nation's
mayor's
to
promise
to
re-examine
and
to
improve
our
city's
law
enforcement
practices.
Now
we
have
made
some
progress
in
recent
years.
A
To
be
sure,
we
have
the
establishment
of
a
civilian
police
review
board.
That
is
extremely
rhetoric
amongst
the
nation's
cities.
We
have
the
use
of
body
cameras
on
police
officers,
that's
less
rare,
but
is
growing,
and
the
evidence
shows
us
nationally
that
at
least
there
is
a
tendency
for
both
police
officers
and
the
people
that
they
encounter
to
be
less
likely
to
be
harmed.
When
you
have
body
cameras,
it's
as
if,
when
you
know
somebody's
watching,
there's
a
permanent
record,
everybody
seems
to
behave
a
little
differently
now.
A
We've
also
had
the
establishment
expansion
of
the
youth
intervention
group
within
the
police
department,
the
establishment
of
an
at-risk
youth
summer
jobs
program,
although
that's
been
somewhat
delayed
because
of
covert
this
summer,
and
then
we've
had
some
movement,
although
modest,
of
course,
toward
diversification
of
our
police
force.
We've
had
movement
toward
de-escalation
training
and
improved
outreach
directly
and
through
social
media,
with
a
greater
emphasis
on
community
policing
in
our
city's
police
department.
However,
of
course,
there
is
always
room
for
more
progress
that
progress
that
we
can
make
for
the
future.
A
We
have
to
invest
in
preventive
strategies
and
invest
in
social
programs
in
our
citizens
that
will
reduce
the
likelihood
of
any
kind
of
tragedies
or
situations
or
friction
for
the
future
in
our
city
and
I.
Just
want
to
end
by
saying
doing.
Nothing
is
not
an
option
in
Bloomington
and
that
those
are
my
remarks
I'm
going
to
go
around
the
Dyess
as
if
we
were
in
the
Dyess,
and
we
have
councilmember
comments.
I
am
going
to
say,
I
kept
my
remarks
to
under
three
minutes.
That's
not
a
hard
and
fast
rule.
A
The
mayor's
presiding
officer
has
the
authority
to
decide
who
speaks
when
for
how
long
I've
never
tried
to
use
that
in
an
autocratic
way,
but
right
now,
I'm
gonna
ask
all
of
you,
as
you
are
speaking
and
I'm
gonna
start
from
war,
one
to
ward
nine
that
I'm
going
to
approximately
limit
you
to
three
minutes.
I'll
kind
of
give
you
a
warning
sign
and
say:
can
you
wrap
it
up?
A
If
you
go
well
beyond
that
and
then
we'll
go
from
there,
we
do
have
public
comment
that
is
limited
strictly
to
three
minutes,
but
all
dramatic
comments
are
somewhat
have
been
historically
somewhat
more
flexible
but
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
try
to
target
your
remarks
to
300
minutes,
and
please
also
remember
there
is
no
redirect
this
is
as
if
we're
moving
around
the
Dyess
from
Ward
1
to
or
9.
If
you
have
something
to
say,
if
you
have
some
contributions
or
some
events
to
announce,
please
do
so.
G
G
Parks
and
Rec
Department
did
an
amazing
job,
cleaning
up
that
area
in
front
of
the
law
and
justice
center,
and
we
saw
what
an
important
space
thing
can
be
for
us
now.
So
I
think
that
was
that
was
pretty
awesome
to
see
all
the
folks
out
there.
I
love
the
messaging
from
that
Sunday
rally
in
which
to
the
you
know,
two
important
things
that
I
heard
were
one
fill
out
the
census,
because
we
need
everybody
to
be
counted.
G
I
think
that
the
census
representative
told
us
that
each
person
who
doesn't
fill
it
out
effectively
cost
the
city
about
a
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
over
ten
years
in
terms
of
grants
and
funding,
and
we
need
everybody
to
fill
that
out
to
be
counted.
So
we
can
run
the
programs.
We
need
to
keep
Bloomington
on
a
positive
path
and
they
also
talked
a
lot
about
the
importance
of
voting,
our
local
voting
not
only
for
local
elections
like
for
city
council,
but
even
you
know
this
November's
national
elections
and
county
board
elections.
G
A
A
E
Sure
can
everybody
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
thank
you.
The
murder
of
George
Floyd
was
a
tragic
event
to
say
the
least.
It
has
been
a
really
tough
week.
I
understand
the
pain
that
this
has
caused.
I
myself
have
been
at
a
loss
for
words
since
watching
the
video
and
the
best
that
I've
been
able
to
manage
is
tears
and
profound
anger
and
sadness.
I
found
the
level
of
cruelty
and
disregard
for
human
life.
E
I
saw
on
that
video
to
be
repugnant,
I'm
thankful
for
the
individual
who
shot
the
video
and
those
who
shared
it,
because
it
helped
change
the
conversation
not
just
in
the
United
States,
but
around
the
world.
The
conversation
is
no
longer
by
what
a
person
being
a
justified
police
action,
but
it
is
now
about
and
rightfully
so,
those
elements
within
police
forces
who
have
brutalized
black
people
and,
at
the
same
time
tarnish
those
of
their
colleagues
who
have
worked
hard
to
do
their
jobs
in
the
right
way.
E
I'm
thankful
for
a
local
organization
like
the
n-double-a-cp,
not
in
our
town,
our
faith,
leaders
who
have
stepped
up
to
right,
a
forum
for
us
to
express
our
collective
grief
of
the
community
and
also
the
analysis
as
act
of
violence.
We
also
I'm
also
thankful
that
here
locally,
our
Police
Department,
led
by
Chief
Donna
donors,
understood
the
gravity
of
the
moment
and
providing
protection
for
people's
right
to
protest
and
also
a
measured
response
to
the
instances
of
rooting
that
pregnant
ability,
legitimize
the
otherwise
peaceful
protests.
E
Now
comes
the
hard
part
for
us.
You
take
stock
of
what
we
learned
about
ourselves
and
the
nation
and
do
the
hard
work
to
make
progress,
and
as
we
do
that,
let's
remember
that
we
have
a
community.
That
is
an
envy
of
me.
While
it
is
not
perfect,
we've
all
seen
enough
good
in
it
to
want
to
move
here
and
plant
our
roots
here.
So
let's
continue
to
work
together
to
make
it
even
better
so
that
our
children
and
grandchildren
can
be
proud
of
us.
A
H
Yes,
good
evening,
Council
and
mayor,
thank
you
for
an
opportunity
to
speak.
There
isn't
a
lot
more
I
would
add
either
both
statements.
All
statements
ahead
of
me
have
really
emphasized
a
lot
of
what
I
want
to
say.
It
is
definitely
a
time
of
anger
and
grief
on
a
personal
level,
and
certainly
for
those
of
us
in
the
community
and
in
this
country
and
I
would
like
to
charge
our
PSCR,
be
the
lead,
a
conversation
to
make
policy
recommendations
about
what
we
can
do
just
to
continually
study
ourselves
and
and
be
better
there's.
H
H
Community
outreach
and
innovation
to
vote
to
be
counted
as
in
on
the
census
and
I
was
especially
and
humbled
by
the
words
of
the
youth
who
have
taken
to
the
streets
locally
and
and
really
across
the
nation,
and
what
what
the
young
people
are
telling
us
and
what
their
vision
is
for
our
future
and
one
of
them
jasmine
was
quoted
in
an
article
in
wgl.
Tea
I
definitely
want
the
system
to
be
changed.
This
is
not
about
one
man.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Amy,
obviously
very
powerful
councillor.
Thank.
C
This
conversation
is
way
past
overdue
in
our
country,
and
I
certainly
hope
that
we
don't
lose
the
momentum
that
has
begun
now,
I'm
glad
that
people
are
speaking
up
and
having
difficult
conversations
about
race,
and
hopefully
some
hearts
have
been
turned
and
some
minds
have
been
changed.
I
just
don't
want
this
to
wither
and
die
like
it
has
so
many
other
times.
We
need
to
keep
moving
forward
and
we
need
not
forget
what
has
happened.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
Yeah
I
am
NOT
going
to
try
to
top
anybody
just
to
be
very
transparent.
You
know
I'm
I'm,
still
a
mess
about
what
has
happened
to
me,
even
even
the
word
murder.
I,
don't
think
justify
is
what
we
saw
in
that
video.
That
was
a
public
execution
in
broad,
daylight
and
I,
think
it
served
as
a
real,
sobering
wake-up
call
for
a
lot
of
people,
and
it
made
way
for
a
lot
of
people
that
have
been
saying
this
for
a
long
time
to
finally
be
believed
and
I'm
happy
about
that.
I
So
you
know
I,
you
know
made
some
statements
that
got
me
in
a
little
bit
of
hot
water
and
I
want
to
just
take
this
moment
to
explain
a
little
bit
and
I.
You
know
I
had
this
conversation
with
Chief
Donath,
you
know
a
lot
of
this
national
movement
is
calling
on
us
to,
instead
of
increasing
funding
towards
our
police
departments
every
year
to
actually
begin
to
decrease.
I
A
You
so
much
councilmember
Kenny,
oh
yes,
absolutely
we
can
underscore.
We
don't
want
to
lose
the
momentum
that
we
have
here,
because
that
appeals
to
the
best
part
of
humanity.
Thank
you.
Let's
see,
ward
7
councilmember
black
thank.
J
J
We've
been
doing
that
over
the
last
few
years,
I
was
really
moved
by
the
cheeks
message
that
he
posted
last
week
and
yeah
I.
Think,
keeping
the
dialogue
open,
figuring
out
ways
to
turn
this
passion
into
action
is
something
that
we
we've
done
and
hope
to
see.
More
of
so
I'll
just
be
quiet
and
keep
listening,
and
just
know
that
you
know
I'm
always
willing
to
make
a
space
and
find
ways
to
make
things
happen.
Thank.
A
F
You
mayor
black
lives
matter,
those
three
words
are
so
important,
yet
they
are
words
we
need
to
galvanize
and
take
action
around
the
words
black
lives
matter.
Just
like
we
have
galvanized
around
the
around
the
world
pandemic
pandemic
has
been
around
for
just
six
months,
but
institutional
racism
has
been
around
in
this
country
for
400
years
as
a
white
person,
I
can
say
that
I
trust
our
law
enforcement
to
do
the
right
thing,
because
that's
all
I
know
but
I
know
my
experiences
at
odds
with
the
black
members
of
the
community.
F
I,
listen
to
those
in
that
community,
as
best
I
can
I
hear
of
unwarranted
stops
and
arrests
of
black
men
and
women,
young
or
old,
rich
or
poor.
Now,
as
a
white
member
of
the
City
Council
I
pledge
to
use
the
power
that
I
have
to
help
implement
systemic
change
in
our
community
and
law
enforcement,
I
will
give
the
most
weight
to
those
solutions
coming
from
our
black
community
I
pledge
to
advocate
for
their
solutions
and
work
with
others
to
make
that
happen.
Thank
you.
Thank.
K
You
mayor
and
thank
you
to
all
my
colleagues
for
your
heartfelt
comments,
I
come
to
you
today
and
just
share
that
you
know
all
of
our
hearts
were
broke
and
seeing
and
learning
about
the
census
staff
and
mr.
George
Floyd.
My
heart
goes
out
to
his
family
and
to
all
those
who
mourn
his
death
was
senseless
and
cruel,
as
many
have
been
in
this
nation
that
stemmed
from
similar
causes.
In
the
past
two
weeks,
we
have
found
ourselves
faced
with
increasing
issues
about
the
Minneapolis,
Police,
Department
and
other
police
departments
around
this
nation.
K
There
are
not
enough
words
to
express
the
concern
and
sadness
felt
by
me
and
others
that
I've
observed
throughout
our
community,
and
we
have
seen
the
reaction.
The
outpouring
of
grief,
protests,
protests,
marches
speeches
and
messages
that
reflect
a
true
desire
to
address
racism
in
our
community
and
across
the
nation.
I
am
supportive
of
these
protests,
because
black
lives
matter
racism,
the
destructive
forces
that
drive
it
and
the
incidents
that
stem
from
it.
Even
if
incidental
must
be
addressed,
garnering
ideas
and
ultimately
putting
into
practice
those
ideas
necessary
to
address
racism
is
of
utmost
importance.
K
I
do
believe
that
it
is
the
city's
role
to
listen
and
work
together
with
the
community
to
bring
about
change.
I
have
not
in
this
limited
time
available
spoken
all
my
thoughts
and
intentions
and
nor
have
I,
and
these
few
sentiments
can
conveyed
shared
them
in
a
perfect
manner.
I
cannot
say
Oh
that
needs
to
be
said
or
convey.
K
The
deep
convictions
felt
here
at
this
time,
but
know
this
I
have
been
listening
and
I
will
continue
to
listen
as
a
city
leader,
I,
look
forward
to
hearing
your
voices
I
will
continue
to
listen
and
work
with
city
staff,
other
city
leaders,
community
leaders
and
organizers
and
organizers
for
the
benefit
of
this
community.
Thank
You
mayor
thank.
A
B
A
B
B
Right,
Chris,
Herrmann,
Lindsey,
wasowicz,
Patrick,
Mahoney
and
Eric,
pin
and
then
also
I
just
wanted
to
remind
the
public
and
our
citizens
that,
in
order
to
speak
at
public
comment,
they
go
to
City,
BLM
org
backslash
register
and
they
can
register
to
speak
at
public
comment
there.
That
link
is
also
available
on
the
city's
website
and
on
each
council
member
agenda
and
they
register
through
that
link
just
15
minutes
in
advance
and
we'll
get
them
all
set
up
so
other
than
that
there
is
no
one
registered
to
call
in
and
speak
thanks.
A
A
A
B
A
A
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
as
presented
with
the
exception
of
the
item
that
councilmember
mathy
removed?
Okay,
I
see
a
motion
by
councilmember
bowl.
In
fact,
I
see
her
Ann
before
I
see
her
face
and
I
see
a
second
by
council
member
of
cradle
any
discussion
on
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
as
presented
with
the
exception
of
item
11
H.
B
A
G
A
J
B
Can
actually
comment
to
that
councilmember
black
at
the
Liquor
Commission,
the
motion
for
the
recommendation
actually
included
that
it
was
contingent
upon
the
status
of
Cove
it
at
that
time.
As
does
the
motion
that's
before
you
tonight.
It
just
reads
contingent
upon
the
organization's
compliance
with
all
executive
orders
relating
to
public
gatherings
and
all
building
health
and
safety
codes.
So
those
all
events
that
are
approved
until
then
will
be
reassessed
as
they
get
closer
yeah.
Thank.
J
J
A
You
very
much
motion
carries
are
known
as
Fornell
sign
of
pork,
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
go
to
our
regular
agenda
and
the
first
item
does
not
require
any
action.
It
is
the
brief
presentation
organized
by
our
city
manager,
mr.
Gleason
brief
5-minute
council
discussion.
So
just
remember:
that's
not
five
minutes
per
person,
but
this
is
regarding
just
an
update
on
our
potential
action
regarding
ordinance,
20
20-18,
on
a
local
emergency.
So
there
are
no
modifications
that
are
being
made
or
recommended
at
this
time,
but
I'm
gonna
turn
this
over
to
mr.
A
D
A
J
Something
I
just
wanted
to
thank
Timmy
mention
it
in
his
city
manager,
remarks
about
the
staffs
work
on
getting
the
permits
and
such
for
outdoor
dining
very
quickly.
A
lot
of
really
good
feedback.
That
I
heard
I
mean
we
moved
lightning
fast,
and
that
was
a
testament
to
your
leadership,
Tim
and
I've,
heard
from
a
lot
of
folks
that
they
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
get
back
out
I'm
sure
our
businesses
do
as
well.
Thank.
A
You
for
that
council,
member
black
you're,
absolutely
correct
and
I
probably
should
have
said
that
in
my
mayoral
comments,
but
I
was
concerned
about
other
things,
but
you're,
absolutely
right.
Tim
you
get
accolades
to
the
10th
power
for
making
stuff
happen.
See
I
am
educable,
I
can
use
a
different
s.
Word
takes
a
while,
but
I
can
do
that,
but
maybe
thank
you.
A
Jim
no
I
have
heard
nothing
but
positive
reviews
over
the
last
week
and
a
half,
and
so,
as
we've
gone
through
this
in
this
past
weekend,
things
seemed
to
go
out
without
a
hitch.
Excuse
me
without
a
glitch
is
maybe
an
establishment
or
two
that
need
to
be
reminded
of
some
things
and
we're
working
on
that.
But
thank
you
so
much
we'll
move
on
to
item
12
B
and
this
point
is
consideration
direction.
On
extending
the
hours
of
operation
for
parking
enforcement
in
downtown
Bloomington
as
a
requested
by
the
City
Council.
A
There
is
a
recommended
motion
and
that
staff
be
directed
to
draft
an
ordinance,
extending
downtown
parking
enforcement
to
6:30
p.m.
and
place
it
on
a
future
agenda.
So
that
would
be
the
recommended
motion.
Obviously
there
could
be
any
number
of
record
of
the
actual
motions,
but
we
were
going
to
start
with
three
minutes
by
councilmember
mathy,
and
this
was
councilmember
Matt
councilmember
math.
He
gets
as
many
as
the
entire
rest
of
the
council
combined
because
this
was
his
proposal,
so
I'm
gonna
turn
this
over
to
councilmember
mathy.
G
Thank
You
mayor,
so
this
is
the
first
of
three
council
initiatives
that
I
submitted
at
the
our
last
work
session.
The
basis
of
this
is
that,
right
now,
parking
enforcement
ends
at
4:30
p.m.
with
90-minute
free
parking
anywhere
in
the
downtown.
That
means
that
any
car
that
arrives
downtown
at
3:01
p.m.
G
Yet
there's
a
conflict
arising
between
residents
and
businesses
where
businesses
need
some
place
for
customers
to
park
at
the
same
time.
So
the
the
idea
behind
this
proposal
is
if
we
we
back
up
enforcement
until
6:30.
That
means
that
anybody
arrives
in
downtown
after
5
p.m.
ie,
normal
business
hours
can
park
and
then
stay
in
the
places,
and
that
gives
customers
of
the
RET
of
the
restaurants
and
bars
and
retail
establishments
a
an
opportunity
towards
some
of
those
parking
spots
as
well.
G
G
Monday
through
Friday
and
then
free
all
weekend
long,
but
this
is,
it
just
helps
solve
and
create
a
better
balance
between
the
residents
that
are
living
downtown
and
the
the
retail
establishments
and
the
bars
and
the
restaurants,
so
that
everybody
can
maybe
work
a
little
bit
and
harmony
together.
Just
as
a
perspective
when
Kelly
and
I
opened
the
bakery
in
downtown
in
2005.
G
The
estimates
at
the
time
were
about
a
hundred
and
eighty
people
lived
throughout
the
entire
downtown
area
and
the
last
number
that
I
heard
is
it's
over
a
thousand
people
that
live
down
there
now,
as
building
owners,
have
kept
restoring
more
and
more
the
upper
floors
of
the
buildings.
So
that's
where.
A
I'm
at
thank
you
very
much
and
that
I
can
certainly
confer
I,
don't
recall
the
data
from
2005,
but
so
that's
what
we
see
now.
That's
certainly
consistent
with
everything
that
I've
hurt
just
as
parenthetic
reference
to
what
councilmember
mathy
has
mentioned.
At
this
point,
we
have
approximately
three
minutes
for
total
council
discussion.
Unless
there's
more
or
emotion,
do
we
have
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
to
this
or
make
a
motion.
B
A
C
You
I
just
wondered
Jamie,
have
you
pulled
the
downtown
business
owners
like
we
discussed
at
the
less
time?
This
was
brought
up.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
all
on
board
with
this,
because,
as
I
said,
I
have
never
heard
them
complain
about
this,
but
they
have
complained
about
the
people
giving
tickets
lurking
around
their
businesses
and
scaring
away
their
patrons
if
they're
on
board,
with
this
I'm
all
on
board,
with
it
too,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they
are.
G
Yes,
so
there
is
actually
a
survey,
that's
going
on
right
now
that
the
Community,
Development
or
actually
probably
Downtown
Development
Division,
has
been
working
on
collecting
feedback
at
this
time.
So
there
is
a
downtown
business
owners,
Facebook
group
and
that
group,
the
members
of
that
group
are
supportive,
but
that
is
not
everybody,
so
we're
trying
to
reach
out
to
additional
businesses
to
get
them
all
on
board.
So,
okay,
we're
working
on
it
right.
A
And
I
think
I
think
we
all
want
would
want
those
results
and
even
again
tonight
we
would
not
be
passing
anything.
This
is
just
a
motion
to
places
on
a
future
agenda
so
that
information
would
be
accessible
to
us.
I
mean
no
sooner
than
in
two
weeks
from
tonight.
In
other
words,
we
would
not
be
acting
any
sooner
than
two
weeks
from
tonight.
Let's
see
councilmember
Kenny,
yo
Jen
well,.
I
I
I
have
two
questions:
I
guess.
The
first
question
is
on
timing
right,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
much
go
bid
set
us
back
in
terms
of
when
we
could
expect
feedback
from
that
parking
survey
back,
but
it
seems
like
it
makes
sense
for
us
to
await
those
results
and
then
then
act
on
this,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
there's
some
reason
Jamie
while
you're
thinking
that
it
has
to
happen
the
other
way.
I
So
that's
one
piece
and
then
the
other
piece
which
I
named
in
an
email
which
I
apologize
I
sent
like
a
half
hour
before
we
got
started
here,
is
that
you
know
my
two
cents:
are
that
I'm,
supportive
of
what
alderman
Massey
is
trying
to
do,
but
I
think
we
do
need
to
come
back
to
the
table
to
reevaluate
it.
So
I
don't
want
to
see
this
get
changed
permanently
without
a
commitment
or
a
sunset
clause.
I
That
brings
us
back
to
to
talk
about
how
it's
working
first-
and
you
know,
speaking
from
personal
experience,
I
spend
a
lot
of
time.
Downtown
and
I
understand
why
folks
wanted
part
clothes
I'm,
usually
by
myself
and
I,
would
be
reluctant
to
use
our
garages,
which
I
think
tells
me
that
we
need,
before
we
start
pushing
folks
to
to
use
them.
We
need
to
be
thoughtful
about
what
resources
we
can
invest
in
them,
so
that
they
are
spaces
that
folks
want
to
use
and
so
yeah.
A
G
Well,
a
couple
of
thoughts,
so
first
yes,
I'm,
absolutely
open
to
talking
about
doing
this
for
a
six
month,
trial
run
or
whatever
that
looks
like
I
have
no
problems
with
that
whatsoever.
So
that
was
one
of
the
questions.
The
second
question
is
around
the
the
garage
of
themselves.
I
I
have
two
thoughts
on
that
one
I,
you
know
I
see
that
our
esteemed
Director
of
Facilities
Russ
is
on
the
line
with
us
as
well,
and
I
know
that
we
have
about.
G
A
year
ago
we
invested
a
significant
amount
of
money
in
LED
lighting
inside
of
the
garage
it
I
parked
down
there
every
day
and
at
nighttime
it
practically
glows.
It's
so
bright.
I
know
that
used
to
be
a
concern
for
people,
but
it's
that's
really
it's
there.
Maybe
that's
an
old
perception
of
the
garage.
However,
at
the
same
time,
we
we
just
had
a
vote
a
couple
months
ago.
It
seems
like
seven
years
ago,
but
the
reality
was
was
like
February
or
March
at
this
point
and
to
talk
about
some
needed
life.
G
Safety
upgrades
to
that
garage
and
I
know
that
alderman,
black
and
I
are
on
the
same
page
that
we,
rather
than
continuing
to
best,
invest
in
that
garage.
I
would
rather
I
see
Scott's
thumb
creeping
up.
We
would
rather
tear
that
garage
to
the
ground
and
put
a
new
garage
up.
That
is
welcoming
and
is
something
that
people
are
willing
to
use
because
they
do
feel
safe.
They
and
it
is
more
convenient
for
them.
G
A
L
L
E
L
L
A
You
much
mr.
wallet,
we
very
much
appreciate
all
you
do
at
this
point.
We
I
do
need
a
motion
of
some
form
that
did
sound
like
Oliver
Matthew
was
open
to
possibly
a
consideration
of
this
again.
This
is
not
passing
this
tonight.
This
is
just
a
decision
to
put
this
on
a
future
agenda
which
could,
of
course,
conceivably
be
amended
at
that
future
agenda.
No
sooner
than
two
weeks
from
tonight,
the
problem
would
be
doing
something
right.
Mayor.
B
A
H
Thank
you
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
on
out
on
the
record
that
I
think
it
does
make
sense
to
have
a
trial
run
just
to
see
how
it
how
it
plays
out
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
the
data
from
the
parking
survey.
But
I
will
just
one
more
quick
question
of
clarification
for
Jamie.
You
would
mention
that
that
this
is
in
largely
due
to
the
fact
that
we
have
more
residents
living
downtown.
H
G
H
G
You
look
at
the
pride
retail
time
where
most
of
the
businesses
in
downtown
do
their
their
prime
shopping
alley
right
now,
there's
a
balance
of
the
residents
are
getting
priority
over
the
businesses
and
by
changing
the
timing
of
it.
I
think
we
kind
of
bring
everything
back
into
balance
where
everybody.
H
H
A
A
D
Actually,
a
couple
of
things
to
comment:
there's
a
labor
component
here,
because
the
parking
attendants
are
represented
and
I
would
expect
that's
what
mr.
Eric
Penn
was
going
to
comment
to
tonight,
but
just
didn't
log
in
properly
and
then
the
next
item
is
the
parking
survey.
The
downtown
survey
actually
is
what
it
is
called,
was
led
by
Melissa
Hahn,
it's
going
to
the
Transportation
Commission
first
and
then
the
results
of
that
will
be
shared
with
this
body
with
all
of
you
elected
officials.
A
A
Rady,
thank
you
so
much.
There
are
no
names
to
announce,
madam
clerk.
At
this
point
we
do
not
have
an
executive
session
and
we
do
have
a
possibility.
I'm
going
to
look
to
alderwoman
Boland
to
start
this
one
because
I
know
she's
usually
quite
exception.
There
quite
excited
about
making
this
