C
Anyway,
you
don't
have
to
okay,
well
I'm
gonna
start
with
Mitchel
filarsky
the
police
officers
commissioned
by
authority
of
the
board
of
fire
and
police
commissioners
of
the
city
of
Bloomington
by
the
city
of
Bloomington,
City
Bloomington
in
the
county
McClain
in
the
state
of
Illinois.
We
do
hereby
certify
that
Mitchell
D
filarsky,
having
been
duly
sworn,
was
appointed
and
commissioned
as
a
police
officer
on
the
17th
of
April
2018.
As
evidence
thereof,
we
set
our
hand
to
this
seal
Mitchell
you
wanna
come
forward.
C
And
next
we
have
Taylor
Turner
again,
the
police
can
officers
commissioned
by
authority
of
the
board
of
fighter
and
police
commissioners
of
the
city
of
Bloomington
in
the
county
of
MacLean
in
the
state
of
Illinois.
We
do
here
certify
that
Taylor
de
Turner,
having
been
duly
sworn,
was
appointed
and
commissioned
as
a
police
officer
on
the
17th
of
April
2018
and
the
evidence
here
of
we
sent
our
hand
and
seal.
C
I
I
I
And
I'll
just
put
in
a
little
plug
for
the
Beautification
Committee.
Since
the
murals
been
done,
the
beautification
committee
has
been
working
on
cleaning
up
the
area.
Picking
up
the
trash,
we
planted
a
flower
bed
across
MIT,
the
hill
that
was
just
all
that
ragged
weeds.
We
got
all
the
trash
out
of
it,
so
it
could
be
mowed
and
we
have
further
plans
to
either
put
the
whole
thing
in
flowers
or
put
some
flower
beds
in
that
area.
J
I
L
I
I
C
Okay,
next,
we
move
right
along
to
public
comment
and
just
so
that
everyone
knows,
if
you
want
some
immediate
answers
to
questions.
You're
certainly
welcome
to
come
back
to
the
fishbowl,
to
the
table
that
we
have
back
there
on
Fridays
from
4:30
to
5:30
before
regular
City,
Council
meetings,
and
you
can
ask
questions
about
something:
that's
on
the
agenda
or
anything
else.
So
if
you
want
immediate
answers-
and
you
want
to
engage
with
us-
that's
the
opportunity
to
do
so.
There
are
others,
of
course.
C
If
you
want
to
give
us
a
phone
call
or
email
us,
but
public
comment,
our
general
policy
is
to
not
respond.
So
it's
basically
up
to
three
minutes
each
that
people
have
and
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
read
these
in
groups
of
three,
so
you
can
prepare.
So
we
can
move
through
this
as
expeditiously
as
possible
and
we
have
Dave
halt.
Serena
fish
and
Lea
Cline
father.
M
Honorable
service
of
this
community,
you
do
important
work,
but
personally
I
find
politics
as
enjoyable
to
watch
as
making
sausage
as
you've
all
heard.
I
try
to
be
politically
neutral
as
much
as
possible,
but
I
stand
before
you
asking
that
you
can
seriously
consider
slowing
down
what
seems
to
be
a
headlong
rush
into
the
cannabis
business.
M
We
do
not
know
enough
about
whether
or
not
this
business
is
a
right
fit
for
our
city,
a
term
that
I
have
heard
used
by
members
on
a
regular
basis.
We
don't
have
the
data
and
looking
at
the
law,
it
looks
like
we
lose
rule
by
allowing
cannabis
to
come
in,
unlike
liquor
and
restaurants,
with
liquor
licenses
and
facilities
to
sell
liquor.
We
don't
have
the
ability,
according
to
this
law,
as
I
can
read
it
to
say,
hold,
wait,
pull
the
license
or
any
of
that
everything
devolves
to
state
control,
state
licensing
and
state
regulation.
M
We
don't
have
enough
data
at
this
point
to
know
whether
or
not
this
is
the
right
fit
in
terms
of
the
health
and
welfare
of
our
community.
We
do
not
know
the
impact
of
selling
cannabis
legality.
Aside
selling
cannabis
in
our
city,
we
don't
know
the
impact
of
that.
There's
not
been
enough
time
for
other
communities
to
deal
with
all
of
the
issues
that
may
be
raised
by
this.
So
I'm
asking
you
on
behalf
of
our
city,
just
slow
down.
There's
nothing
lost
with
taking
time
and
doing
it
right.
M
It's
a
law
that
has
been
passed.
You
have
the
option
to
opt
in,
but
being
an
early
adopter
really
gets
us
nothing
if
it's
the
wrong
decision
and
the
wrong
fit.
Please
for
our
community
slow
down,
take
the
time,
empower
the
Zoning
Commission
to
really
investigate
what
is
important.
What
the
data
is
and
then
come
back
with
the
decision.
We
have
one
chance
to
get
it
right
and
if
we
get
it
wrong,
our
entire
community
will
pay.
Thank
you
thank.
D
G
I'm,
basically
going
to
echo
what
the
gentleman
before
me
said:
slow
down
time
was
short,
but
this
taskforce
chose
to
only
meet
three
times
when
they
could
have
met
two
or
three
times
a
week.
Instead
of
once
the
taskforce
presented
only
ten
opinions
from
ten
people,
they
had
lots
of
info
on
other
states,
but
almost
no
local.
G
They
had
almost
no
community
inputs,
educational,
religious,
neighborhood
or
Ward's
meetings
and
did
not
attend
when
invited
to
one.
Even
at
this
point
in
decision-making
for
the
city
of
Bloomington.
It
is
all
about
zoning,
taxing
and
legal
interpretation.
If
we
opt
in
and
win,
there
is
no
one
on
the
task
force
that
has
these
expertise.
So
I
would
recommend
city
staff
and
City
Council
go
forward
with
the
people
who
do
have
the
expertise
which
was
not
included
in
the
selection
of
the
original
task
force
members
and
consider
task.
G
C
G
N
Good
evening,
you'll
be
surprised
to
know
I'm
not
here
to
speak
about
cannabis.
My
name
is
Leah
Klein
and
I.
Am
the
chairperson
of
the
Historic
Preservation
Commission
I'm
at
the
podium
this
evening
to
lend
my
support
for
your
regular
agenda
item
8a
the
professional
services
agreement
with
a
Lakota
group
to
create
a
community
preservation
plan
for
the
city
of
Bloomington.
N
The
current
preservation
plan
for
our
city
dates
to
2004
as
part
of
the
city's
comprehensive
planning
process,
it
was
recommended
that
plans
such
as
these
be
revised
and
updated
every
five
years
as
such
a
revision
to
the
community
preservation
plan
is
well
overdue.
In
addition
to
its
age,
the
current
community
preservation
plan
has
several
limitations
that
we
seek
to
remedy.
N
With
this
new
plan,
the
new
plan
will
be
rooted
in
substantial
public
feedback,
something
that
was
really
not
the
focus
of
the
prior
plan
and
will
address
significant
elements
of
our
city's
historic
infrastructure
not
treated
in
the
current
plan.
For
instance,
route
66
is
not
mentioned
as
part
of
our
preservation
plan.
N
Lastly,
the
Lakota
plan
will
provide
us
with
actionable
items
to
help
us
make
informed
decisions
about
process
planning
and
zoning
ordinances,
as
it
relates
to
preservation
all
aspects
of
our
current
plan
and
working
order
that
had
received
negative
comment
from
residents
in
the
past
and
we
haven't
had
any
Avenue
in
order
to
fix
them.
As
hpc
commissioners,
we
see
the
opportunity
to
work
with
the
Lakota
group
as
a
significant
step
forward
in
our
efforts
to
meet
the
recommendations
of
bring
it
on
Bloomington
and
to
better
serve
the
interests
of
Bloomington's
residents.
N
Professional
work
on
plans
like
the
community
preservation
plan
is
expensive
and,
as
with
all
things,
you
get.
What
you
pay
for.
The
Lakota
groups
plan
represents
a
substantial
improvement
over
our
current
plan
and
knowing
that
this
cost
would
be
considerable,
the
community
develop
office
development
office.
Excuse
me,
preemptively,
sought
out
and
was
awarded
a
30,000
dollar
grant
from
the
Illinois
preservation
agency
to
offset
the
total
cost
to
our
city.
The
remainder
of
the
cost
is
already
in
the
Community
development's
FY
2020,
and
thus
it
does
not
require
the
approval
of
any
additional
monies
from
you.
N
While
I
understand
that
it
is
easy
for
some
to
see
the
preservation
of
historic
infrastructure
as
backward
looking,
I
hope
that
you
will
instead
see
this
plan
in
the
way
that
the
community
development
staff
and
the
HPC
commissioners
do
as
an
economic
development
tool.
That
is
very
much
forward-looking.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
E
You
know
15
20
bucks,
but
if
you
repeat
that
over
and
over
and
over
again
that
starts
adding
up,
that's
not
including
the
extra
income
from
people
that
get
the
munchies
they
want
to
run
down
to
Luke
grill
eat
a
pie
or
like
six,
you
know
like
you're
missing
out,
especially
you.
Two
like
I've
heard
y'all
on
a
radio.
Y'all
are
joke
yo
with
the
reefer
madness.
Ain't
never
cause
nobody
ever
to
have
schizophrenia.
E
Ever
that's
methamphetamine
and
cocaine,
and
heroin
you're
wrong
you're
dead,
damn
wrong.
It
has
never
done
that.
It's
safer
than
peanut
butter,
peanut
butter,
has
killed
more
people
than
pot
ever
has
because
nobody's
ever
died
from
pot.
Never,
and
you
guys,
are
missing
out
on
the
hugest
chunk
of
money,
it
might
be
3%.
We
tried
to
get
5,
but
it's
3%
and
you're,
not
looking
at
the
extra
income,
it's
not
even
about
making
it
a
weed
destination.
E
It's
about
bringing
in
in
that's
going
to
help
this
community
and
if
you
vote
against
it
you're
voting
against
this
town.
You
can
listen
to
this
church
guy
yak.
All
he
wants,
but
the
truth
of
it
is
my
spiritual
path,
came
through
cannabis
and
so
did
many
other
people,
there's
Rastafarianism,
there's
different
parts
of
Hinduism
that
have
cannabis
related
to
it.
So
it's
a
religious
thing
too,
and
you
haven't
done
any
homework.
C
L
L
Does
it
put
it
out
in
the
middle
of
nowhere,
but
the
zoning
meeting
comes
up
here
and
what
you
talk
about,
where
you
want
to
be
put
it
as
far
away
from
over
a
school
Church
and
everything
you
want
just
keep
it
inside
of
Bloomington.
The
revenue
could
be
used
for
many
things:
the
state
of
Colorado
all
but
or
is
entirely
I,
don't
want
to
misquote
funds,
their
Department
of
Education
through
the
sale
of
cannabis
and
the
taxation
on
it.
I'm
not
saying
that
we
can
do
that
here.
L
We
can't
do
that
because
we're
just
a
city,
but
that
3%
and
the
money
that
we
won't
be
turning
away.
It's
things
that
we
could
use
if
we
earmark
them
many
of
the
objections
I've
heard
of
concerns
for
children.
Why
don't
we
invest
the
3%
and
after-school
programs
for
our
less
fortunate
children
or
lunch
programs
for
the
kids
who
don't
get
to
eat
every
day?
There
are
things
we
could
do
with
that
money
in
ear
market
so
that
it
benefits
our
community
in
a
way
that
everyone
can
get
on
board
with
it.
L
We
don't
have
to
be
black
and
white
about
it.
I
understand
your
objections.
I
understand
that
you're
concerned
for
children,
but
kids
still
drink
alcohol
and
that's
on
every
street
corner.
There
are
liquor
stores
across
the
street
from
schools,
and
we
still
let
that
happen-
put
the
pot
on
the
outside
of
the
town
earmark
the
money
for
something
that
benefits
all
of
us
and
benefits
the
kids.
L
If
that's,
who
we're
really
worried
about,
let's
find
a
middle
ground,
let's
be
happy,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
an
alienating
issue
that
makes
all
of
us
hate
each
other.
Make
people
think
that
they're
outraged,
because
reefer
madness
is
gonna.
Take
over
our
town.
It's
not
they're.
Gonna
still
smoke
they're
going
to
it's
going
to
be
legal
here,
no
matter
what
we
do.
So
why
would
we
turn
away
the
money
that
we
could
actually
use.
O
L
P
Hello
again,
my
name
is
Tyler
Hargis
and
I'm.
One
of
the
members
of
your
community
I've
been
born
and
raised
here
and
cannabis
has
provided
me
a
second
opportunity
at
life
after
I
started
having
seizures
when
I
was
21.
It's
now
provided
me
a
career
path
as
well
as
an
opportunity
to
create
a
nonprofit
community
group
that
I
try
to
do
to
help
create
opportunities
in
your
community
and
to
build
up
the
community.
P
So
that's
I
mean
if
we're,
if
we're
talking
about
how
we
can
help
help
our
community
I'm,
trying
my
best
with
the
opportunity
that
I
have
while
using
cannabis
to
do
so.
I
keep
hearing
people
discuss
edibles
as
an
issue,
maybe
making
them
taste
negative.
Well,
there's
children
out
there
such
as
a
couple
that
I
met
that
have
seizures
and
having
that
medicine
tastes
appetizing
as
part
of
the
reason
why
they
use
it
because
they
have
lost
their
appetite
due
to
severe
illness.
P
And
if
you
do
that,
it's
an
unnecessary
thing,
because
I
could
go
use
a
concentrate
or
an
RSO
oil
and
make
my
own
edibles.
So
the
reason
I
bring
that
up
is
as
those
stop
looking
to
make
unnecessary
like
examples
or
unnecessary
issues.
Whenever
the
issue
shouldn't
even
be
brought
up
in
the
first
place,
we
should
be
focusing
on
how
we
can
make
revenue
by
being
this
by
bringing
in
cannabis
and
opting
in
for
it.
We
should
be
looking
at
opportunities
where
we
can
help
build
for
our
kids.
P
We
do
keeps
bringing
up
children,
but
the
reason
that
kids
have
access
to
cannabis.
A
black
market
system
bring
in
recreational
cannabis
and
you
have
it
regulated
where
they
can
only
get
it.
If
you
are
21
and
you
have
an
ID
to
receive
it,
that
makes
it
harder
for
kids
to
get
it
whenever
you,
whenever
you
create
boundaries
for
that
black
market
comes
in
and
fills
in
that
gap,
and
that's
how
kids
are
getting
that
cannabis.
P
Sorry,
if
we're
looking
for
data,
there's
plenty
of
other
states
out
there
that
have
data
and
have
plenty
of
examples
on
how
they've
built
their
communities
while
having
cannabis,
become
recreationally
legal
in
their
state
and
I.
Think
we
just
need
to
look
at
those
things.
It's
not
hard
to
go,
google,
those
things
we
have
access
to
so
much
data.
We
just
need
to
go
out
there
and
look
for
it.
It's
not
hard
to
look
for
those
things.
We
also
have
plenty
of
dispensaries
that
have
paperwork
they
have
if
they
have
information
for
your
terpenes
cannabinoids.
P
The
actual
medicinal
benefits
for
these
things.
If
you
guys
go
to
these
places
that
are
already
up
and
established,
they
have
the
information
you're
seeking.
So
if
you
want
the
info
go,
seek
it
I
accidentally
created
this
nonprofit
community
group.
Every
single
event:
I
do
is
aimed
at
building
the
community
by
raising
money
for
different
programs
in
our
community
education
to
the
public,
so
they
can
learn
about
terpenes
and
cannabinoids
and
building
a
community.
So
let
that
stuff
happen
it's
already
here.
P
G
Good
evening,
I'm
Deb
Carter
I'm
a
45
year
resident
a
bloomington-normal
25
of
those
years,
has
been
spent
in
Ward
3
I
want
to
announce
that
I
personally
believe
in
abstinence.
This
is
my
personal
and
strong
belief
as
an
addiction
therapist,
however,
abstinence
does
not
work
for
everyone
and
there
are
ers
treatment,
facilities
and,
frankly,
cemeteries
that
are
full
of
people
with
failed
attempts
at
abstinence
treatment
facilities
are
beginning
to
use
what
they
call
ma:
T
medically
assisted
treatment
for
those
addicted
to
serious
drugs
like
opiates.
This
involves
pharmaceuticals.
G
Physician
monitoring
and
treatment
now
this
is
also
called
harm
reduction,
similar
to
when
a
heroin
addict
would
take
methadone,
be
prescribed
methadone.
Instead,
it's
a
stepping
down
cannabis
can
also
be
used
as
a
harm
reduction
for
those
more
addictive
substances,
as
a
quality-of-life
using
legal
cannabis
as
a
form
of
harm
reduction,
would
give
the
patient
control
over
what
they
need
to
have
in
a
legal
and
systematized
way.
It
would
cut
out
the
big
pharma
and
it
would
give
the
patient
more
autonomy.
G
What
we're
talking
about
in
my
antidotal
opinion
and
whatever
roughly
estimated
from
my
25
years
in
addiction,
is
about
30
to
40
percent
of
our
Bloomington.
Adult
residents.
Use
cannabis
right
now,
surprised
it's!
Your
friends.
Is
your
coworkers
there's
a
great
number
of
white
upper-middle-class
professional
people,
lawyers
Baker's
people
that
you
wouldn't
know
the
reason
why
you
do
not
know
this
is
because
of
the
stigma
it's
illegal,
but
these
people
are
all
buying
it
on
the
black
market.
G
When
the
novelty
is
there
and
the
newness
is,
we
will
see
a
bump
and
a
using
cannabis
January
first,
but
I
challenge
you
has
anybody
had
trouble
finding
a
parking
space
and
hi
v--
lately
I
haven't
when
it
opened,
you
couldn't
even
turn
on
to
go
in
the
parking
lot,
I
believe
in
allowing
and
regulating
our
recreational
dispensaries
in
bloomington-normal.
This
gives
us
power
and
I
urged
the
council
to
be
proactive
and
think
about
this
seriously.
Q
Hello,
my
name
is
SEC
Garrett
I'm,
a
long
time
fan
first
time
stand
her
up
or
I
live
in
Ward
7
on
the
west
side.
I
wanted
to
talk
about
some
of
the
conversations
about
cannabis.
Older
person
Brea
stated
last
week
that
70
to
80
percent
of
Illinois
jurisdictions
were
opting
out
of
cannabis
sales,
supporting
a
more
prohibition
of
stance
now
I
reached
out
to
her
about
the
source,
but
I
received
no
response.
I
can
only
assume
she
didn't
get.
Q
My
email
I
did
try
and
do
a
bit
of
research,
but
I
couldn't
find
that
specific
statistics
that
she
had
mentioned.
My
hunch
is
that,
even
if
it's
true
that
70%
of
counties,
towns,
villages,
however,
they
self-identify
are
opting
out.
If
you
cross
check
this
with
population,
you'd
probably
find
a
super
majority
of
the
populace
supports
ending
prohibition,
while
a
minority
of
the
population
still
supports
prohibition,
which
is
pretty
much
what
we've
seen
in
the
last
several
years,
that
beef
being
said,
I
think
it's
high
time.
Pun
intended
always
intend
to
your
puns.
Q
It's
not
fair
to
leave
your
puns
hanging.
Bloomington,
move
forward
on
legalizing
cannabis
sales.
Send
this
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
let's
get
the
ball
rolling.
You
have
a
little
over
two
months
to
get
this
done.
At
the
same
time,
I
recommend
you
extend
the
mandate
of
the
cannabis
task
force
to
continue
being
included
in
this
process.
Now,
I
share
all
the
personal
wamba's
reticence
towards
unelected
boards
and
commissions
composed
of
volunteers
and
or
bureaucrats.
Q
However,
I
think
in
this
instance,
the
cannabis
task
force
task
force
has
proven
itself
as
a
very
dedicated
group
of
community
members
who
are
willing
to
look
at
all
sides
of
the
issue,
even
if
they
don't
necessarily
agree
with
it.
In
a
mere
three
weeks,
they
perform
their
due
diligence
and
came
back
with
an
extensive
report
fairly
addressing
as
many
concerns
as
they
could
I
think
it
would
behoove
us
to
continue
their
valuable,
constant
contributions
in
the
zoning
process,
taxation
and
where
the
taxes
should
go.
R
Kelly
Dyson
from
Bloomington
last
weeks
and
members
from
the
council
raised
concerns
about
youth.
If
we
were
to
opt
in
and
allow
recreational
dispensary
here
in
Bloomington,
their
concerns
were
the
visibility
and
availability
of
cannabis
to
use
a
separate
comment
called
for
all
edibles
to
taste
like
medicine
and
no
other,
no
other
flavoring,
so
as
not
to
appeal
to
youth
I'd
like
to
address
those
comments.
Here.
First
I'd
like
to
point
out
the
availability
and
visibility
of
alcohol
in
Bloomington.
There
are
plenty
of
liquor
stores
in
Bloomington.
There
are
plenty
of
bars
in
Bloomington.
R
Those
aren't
the
only
places
alcohol
is
sold
are
consumed.
It's
also
sold
it.
Almost
all
the
gas
stations,
usually
in
the
same
line
of
coolers,
were
juice
and
soft
drinks
are
sold
and
in
restaurants,
family
restaurants,
even
she's
ever
been
a
Red
Lobster.
They
have
an
entire
section
in
their
menu
with
pictures
of
summer
style
cocktails
with
colors
and
fruit
and
umbrellas
and
tiny
plastic
swords,
and
if
you're
under
21,
you
can
actually
still
order
that
drink.
If
you
put
the
word
virgin
in
front
of
it,
an
eight-year-old
can
order
a
virgin
daiquiri.
R
They
sell
alcohol
at
grocery
stores,
there's
a
whole
line
of
flavored
beer
made
to
taste
just
like
pop
called.
Not
your
father's
root
beer,
not
your
mom's
cream
soda,
not
your
mom's
iced
tea,
not
your
mom's
orange
soda.
It
goes
on
like
this.
Several
more
flavors
hard
off
or
hard
liquor
has
all
sorts
of
flavored
vodkas
and
wines
that
follow
suit.
R
They
also
sell
beer
and
wine
at
Chuck,
E,
Cheese,
again
I'm,
not
here
to
demonize
alcohol
or
say
that
the
current
restrictions
or
allowances
regarding
alcohol
are
bad,
not
arguing
that
cannabis
should
even
have
the
same
visibility.
I'm
just
asking
you
to
consider
the
hypocrisy
of
the
argument.
Children
could
be
exposed
to
it
and
think
that
it's
okay
to
consume.
Therefore,
it
should
not
be
filled
in
the
community,
no
one's
advocating
for
additional
visibility
or
marketing
of
cannabis.
R
In
any
way,
no
child
would
even
see
any
recreational
cannabis
product
sold
because
they
would
need
to
be
21
to
enter
the
facility
to
be
clear,
no
one
is
advocating
or
condoning
youth
consumption
of
cannabis
to
address
the
call
for
a
medicine,
flavored
edibles
a
bit
further.
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
I've
taken
anti-nausea
medication
in
conjunction
with
medical
cannabis
for
almost
four
years
due
to
an
autoimmune
disease,
the
medication
I
take,
is
called
zofran.
The
specific
for
my
take
is
dissolvable
and
tastes
like
cherries.
R
S
Yes,
Mike,
my
concern
is
with
the
marijuana
or
the
cannabis
the
medical
portion
may
have
been.
I
may
be
able
to
accept
that
we've
got
people
in
the
medical
community.
We've
got
people
in
religious
community,
they're,
saying
it's
not
a
good
thing,
and
who
is
the
council
to
sit
up
there
and
say?
Well
we
think
it
is.
S
S
S
You
can't
believe
it
and
I
think
everyone
on
the
council
got
got
a
copy
that,
because
you
know
it
cuts
it
down
from
to
a
one
lane
road
indirectly
and
there's
going
to
be
a
cart
accident,
a
big
good
one
sooner
or
later
now,
what's
what's
to
keep
people
and
all
these
sidewalks
were
supposed
to
be
a
DI
accessible.
If
you
recall
in
1990
they're
all
up
ad
accessible
around
City
Hall,
the
library
in
any
government
building,
but
they're,
not
ADA,
accessible,
no
and
the
residential
areas.
S
You
know,
I,
don't
understand
it,
I
really
don't
now,
we've
got
everybody
sitting
up
there.
That
they're
looking
at
me
like
what
in
the
heck
are
you?
What
planet
do
you
come
off
of?
You
know
I
wish
I
wish.
You
would
really
really
seriously
consider
that
the
sidewalks
and
the
roads
and
the
storm
drains
be
raised
and
I
know.
Jim
gets
tired
of
hearing
this,
because
somebody
is
really
really
gonna
hurt
themselves.
Yet
the
the
other
day
somebody
was
going
past.
They
said
these
sidewalks
are
terrible.
S
I
said,
don't
tell
me,
told
Jim
cars
and
then
they
tried
the
roads
and
the
roads
were
worse.
They
went
back
to
where
they
came
from.
One
was
from
Bloomington
a
neighbor,
the
other
one
was
I,
don't
know
where
they
were
from,
but
they
were
from
bloomington-normal
and
I
would
think
that
would
really
be
of
concern
to
you
regarding
this
medical
cannabis.
You
know
there
is
absolutely
no
excuse
for
this
there.
It
really
is
not
the
only
thing
you're
looking
at
is
the
bottom
line
and
I.
Think
I
made
my
point
very
clear.
C
T
C
U
C
T
So
I
had
pulled
this
at
the
last
meeting
and
it
was
tabled
to
be
brought
back
this
week.
My
concern
was
that
we
ended
up
going
with
an
out
of
town
company
when
there
was
a
local
company
that
wasn't
too
far
off
in
terms
of
the
pricing.
So
I
had
some
questions
about
whether
there
had
been
considerations
about
so
that
I
think
that
the
price
of
the
assessment
and
the
price
of
the
actual
tests
were
different.
So
for
one
company
one
was
higher
and
then
the
reverse
was
true
for
the
other
company.
T
So
I
was
curious.
If
that
was
something
that
was
taken
into
account
when
the
bid
was
taken.
So
I
asked
those
questions
to
Tim
and
then
also
we
weren't
sure
whether
we
were
legally
bound
to
go
with
the
lowest
bid
possible
and
so
I
think
Tim
did
some
digging
and
found
some
answers
for
us.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
him
to
tell
us
all.
V
Right,
thank
you.
Yes,
this
was
an
agenda
item
on
October
14th.
Some
of
the
council
members
had
some
questions
earlier
in
that
day
and
then
raised
some
questions
out
of
mate
and
just
ran
out
of
no
problems
with
the
agenda.
Item
just
ran
out
of
time
to
get
the
appropriate
answers.
The
first
question
about
did
staff.
Consider
you
know
some
of
the
pricing
that
was
including
the
art
being.
T
Yeah
and
I
think
just
to
a
comment
that
Tim
had
made
at
a
previous
meeting.
I
I'm
gonna
yeah
continue
to
bring
this
up
and
hold
us
to
to
revisiting
how
we
can
maximize
the
amount
of
dollars
that
are
being
spent
locally
and
and
going
to
local
contractors
versus
out
of
state
or
out
of
town.
So
I
hope
that
we
can
continue
that
way
and.
V
C
W
You
know
to
put
it
into
the
different
tanks
and
things
in
the
city,
so
we
spent
a
lot
on
fuel
each
year
and
I
know
that
it
was
mentioned
in
the
agenda
description
with
regard
to
how
we
try
to
use
biofuel,
which
is
definitely
good,
but
I,
think
we
need
to
continue
to
look
for
ways
to
reduce
our
fuel
consumption.
Due
to
the
impact
you
know,
the
impact
of
climate
change.
W
W
I
know
that
Jim
karch
is
looking
at
information
on
different
idling
technologies
and
and
I
know
that
Public
Works
staff
is
coordinating
with
the
police
department
to
do
in
the
review
of
those
technologies
and
determining
feasibility
for
our
fleet
and
and
so
I
appreciate
that
I
think
that's
good
for
the
city,
but
just
wanted
to
to
make
those
comments.
Okay,.
V
And
that
is
accurate.
Alderman
kraebel
commented
that
Jim
carts
public
Jim
carts
public
works
director
is
working
with
police.
Those
are
the
primary
users
and
that's
something
that
will
report
back
every
time
that
we
have.
You
know
a
purchase
like
this.
It
comes
before.
Council
will
also
include
the
process
that
we've
gone
through
and
looking
at
some
of
these
new
technologies
or
new
ways
of
doing
business.
Point
taken,
I.
C
W
V
That's
also
true,
when
we
tried
to
look
at
the
bloomington-normal
market
for
anybody
that
had
a
landscaping
business
you
know
and
was
in
the
business
of
mowing.
We
found
a
little
opportunity
parks
did
provide
for
the
remainder
of
this
mowing
season
and
for
next
year
they
stepped
up
and
provided
the
opportunity
to
fill
that
gap.
That
was
unexpected.
V
C
W
You
mayor
this
has
to
do
with
the
proposal
to
spend
two
hundred
thousand
on
chemicals
for
pro
golf
courses,
and
that
was
a
high
number
and
I
that
that
bothered
me
with
regard
to
how
much
in
chemicals
we
would
likely
putting
into
our
golf
courses
and
and
who
knows
where
it
goes
from
there.
So
I
did
a
little
digging
I
checked
with
william
rao.
Who
is
an
expert
on
environmental
issues.
He
put
me.
W
He
gave
me
information
on
the
Audubon
cooperative
sanctuary
program
for
golf
courses,
and
that
is
cooperative.
That
certifies
golf
courses
that
meet
certain
conditions,
including
the
reduced
use
of
chemicals
and
water
and
I,
spoke
with
the
cooperative
today.
There's
about
800
courses
in
the
United
States
that
have
been
certified.
200
of
those
are
public
courses
locally.
W
Why
bring
a
tie
shoe
is
certified
and
the
Dennett
Fox
Creek
from
staff
learned
that
they
were
certified
in
the
early
2000s.
That's
when
we
had
a
certified
golf
course,
superintendent
for
the
city.
He
left
the
city
and
at
that
point
the
certification
was
allowed
to
lapse
the
cost
to
certify
at
least
just
the
certification
itself
as
$300
per
course.
W
It's
unknown
really
at
this
point.
If
it
would
cost
more
to
become
do
everything
it
would
take
to
be
certified
or
it
would
actually
cost
less
so
the
same
if
we're
saving
money
on
chemicals
and
water,
but
I
would
like,
although
I'm
going
to
move
to
approve
the
agenda
item,
I
would
like
us
to
explore
what
Weibring
is
doing
and
potentially
what
costs
there
may
be.
I
wouldn't
think
you
would
need
a
certified
superintendent
necessarily
to
get
this
type
of
certification
and
I.
So
I
asked
Tim.
W
Y
Really
quick,
you
know,
I'm
very
supportive
of
the
questions
that
are
being
raised
around
golf
and
our
procurement
process,
and
you
know,
as
we
move
into
our
budget
cycle-
and
you
know
probably
a
few
months
here,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
focused
on
keeping
cost
down,
and
we
we've
talked
about
doing
things
that
increase
costs.
So
I
want
us
to
remember
this
conversation
where
we
are
talking
about
spending
more
money
in
some
of
our
things,
which
is
fine,
but
then
I
don't
want
us
to
be
six
months
of
now
saying.
Y
Why
is
golf
cost
more
money,
because
it's
the
direction
that
we
have
given
from
a
policy
level
to
staff
and
if
it
ends
up
costing
us
more
to
have
more
eco-friendly
chemicals,
not
saying
that
we
don't
currently
then
willing
to
remember
this
this
conversation.
So
we
know
that
we
are
being
intellectually
honest
between
now
and
at
that
point
in
time.
Thank.
W
I
totally
agree,
you
know,
with
with
with
those
statements
and
like
I
said,
we
may
be
doing
a
lot
of
those
things
already.
It
may
not
cost
any
more
and
I
think.
Ultimately,
you
find
out
what
the
cost
would
be
and
you
that
kind
of
cost-benefit
analysis-
and
we
say
hey-
you-
know
we're
spending
enough
on
golf
courses.
That's
not
something
we're
willing
to
do
right
now.
That's
not
okay!.
Y
I
guess
it
would
have
been
back
in
the
day,
Jim
FRU
and
advocating
I.
Guess
it'll,
be
me
now,
but
as
I
guess,
the
golfer,
our
golf
courses
are
gems
in
the
community
and
are
really
well
kept
up.
I
mean
IHSA
comes
down
here
and
does
their
tournaments.
It's
a
tourism
drive
for
us,
so
I
was
getting
nervous.
We
start
talking
about
doing
new
things,
just
making
sure
that
the
quality
is
the
same
from
now
and
down
the
road,
but
if
we
can
do
it
more
eco-friendly,
why
not.
C
W
Yes,
mayor
I've
heard
some
concerns
from
community
members
about
this
establishment
having
a
gaming
license.
Some
concern
expressed
with
what
they've
done
in
other
communities.
I
don't
have
specifics
on
that,
but
I
just
wanted
to
raise
those
and
I'm,
not
sure
I.
Don't
think
that's
something
that
has
been
brought
up
to
the
Liquor
Commission
or
has
it
even
gone
before,
though
well.
C
Z
C
X
Comments
first,
please
so
I
was
going
to
pull
this
one
as
well.
So
thank
you
Jeff.
This
is
this
property
is
great
I
would
love
to
see
it
developed
I
think
that
we've
had
aspirations
to
have
something
there,
since
the
mr.
quicks
was
torn
down
15
17
years
ago
now,
but
this
design
is
treading
dangerously
close
to
the
gaming
parlor
model.
X
You
know
that's,
we
have
restaurants
and
we
have
bars
that
happen
to
have
gaming
in
them,
but
advertising
that
your
your
facility
is
called
pizza
and
gaming
I
think
is
pushing
the
envelope
a
lot
further
than
most
of
us
are
comfortable
with
so
I
will
vote
YES
for
this
today
to
move
forward,
but
I
will
not
vote
for
liquor
license
that
involves
that
name.
So.
C
Just
to
clarify
again,
this
is
just
this:
is
the
site
plan
there's
a
separate
vote
on
that
the
Liquor
Commission
did
get
it
according
to
and
I'll
turn
to
Jeff
in
our
liquor
code
and
we've
talked
about
this
before
as
a
liquor
Commission,
we
have
no
particular
authority
to
deny
something
because
we
don't.
We
have
problems
with
the
name,
because
there
is
there
anything,
there's
nothing
in
our
liquor
code
or
ordinances,
correct,
okay,
but
we
do
have
provisions
to
stop
gaming
parlors
if
they
exceed
fifty
percent
of
their
revenues.
AA
AA
C
Justjust
also
to
clarify
the
the
the
Liquor
Commission
and
then
our
liquor
code
has
no
provisions
whatsoever
for
any
any
special
designation
for
any
member
of
the
City
Council
who
have
whose
ward
it
happens
to
be
in
if
they
certainly
are
free
to
come
in,
to
testify
in
front
of
the
Liquor
Commission
as
part
of
the
evidence.
But
we
don't
necessarily
know
that.
That's
the
case
well,.
C
AA
C
AA
C
C
Have
never,
first
of
all,
we've
never
had
an
issue
with
that
in
my
six
and
a
half
years
that
has
been
mentioned
by
Commissioner
Jordan,
but
that
has
not
that
wouldn't
really
apply
in
a
case
like
this.
No
because
it
wouldn't
you
if
some
is
claiming
to
be
a
restaurant
but
they're
really
a
bar.
That's
when
the
invoices
might
matter
because
they've
got
any,
they
may
have
an
incentive
to
say:
hey,
I,
didn't
I,
don't
really
buy
this
much
liquor
in
this
situation,
they're
they.
C
AA
C
Have
we
have
not,
and
what
we've
done
is:
we've
looked
to
finance
and
Finance
has
given
us
their
data
and
what
they
pay
taxes
on
and
we
haven't
had
any.
We.
We
really
only
had
one
real
situation
where
somebody
who
was
really
operating
a
bar
claimed
to
be
a
restaurant
and
that
institution
no
longer
exists,
but
we
did
have.
We
have
had
a
place
that
in
effect,
was
a
gaming
parlor.
It
wasn't
their
invoices
they're,
their
actual
receipts,
made
it
quite
clear.
C
X
For
clarity
that
stretch
of
Washington
Street,
the
north
side
has
Ward
4
and
the
south
side
has
award
one
and
I
have
had
significant
number
of
people
in
the
dim
inscribed
neighborhood
area
reach
out
to
me
to
ask
what's
going
on
and
how
this
got
approved,
the
the
500-foot
notification
district,
the
zone
doesn't
extend
it's
weird
when
you
look
at
in
the
map
of
where
it
targeted
and
most
of
the
area
around.
There
is
apartments
that
are
more
transit
of
nature.
X
So
that's
why
they're
a
lot
of
people
didn't
weren't
notified
and
weren't
aware
this
was
coming
in
front
of
the
Liquor,
Commission
and
and
but
they've
been
reaching
out
to
me.
So
there
I
have
heard
significant
amount
from
the
community
that
if
this
was
going
to
be,
the
people
are
gonna,
be
watching.
If
this
was
going
to
turn
into
some
sort
of
a
gaming
parlor
people
are
concerned
so
and.
C
Then
that
is
something
that
I
think
that
we
probably
the
Liquor
Commission
would
probably
want
to
have
the
council
perhaps
reconsider?
Maybe
we
go
to
a
thousand
feet
or
something
like
this,
so
we
don't
have
situations
after
the
evidence
that
we're
dealt
and
we
take
a
look
at
the
evidence
and
we
come
up
with
a
recommendation
and
then
there's
sort
of
ex
post
facto
when
the
word
gets
out
and
and
maybe
maybe
the
maybe
it's
a
thousand
feet.
The
clerk
is
probably.
G
D
Answer
your
question
so
there's
two
ways
that
somebody
would
once
they
had
a
liquor
license
qualified.
They
would
have
to
be
open
for
12
months
or
they
could
go
under
the
replicated
way,
which
is
what
the
will
see
this
one
come
forward
with.
The
other
thing
is:
is
that
when
they
apply,
they
will
have
to
submit
actual
financial
documents
from
the
business
that
they're
replicating
to
show
that
that
business
has
also
stayed
under
the
50%
and
then
all
businesses
when
they
do
a
renewal,
that's
also
something
that
they'll
submit
to
us.
D
So,
yes,
there
are
other
measures
to
the
liquor
license
that
we
can
do
it,
but
every
year
when
they
want
to
re-up,
they
have
to
come
forward
with
their
financial
documents
to
show
that
and
that
gaming
portion
and
just
remind
you,
will
not
come
back
here.
That
will
be
approved
in
my
department
through
the
review
process,
but
you
guys
are
pretty.
D
There's
there's
two
way,
so
if
you,
if
you
have
a
previous
or
an
existing
business,
that
has
been
open
for
12
months,
then
they
can
go
through.
There's
a
variety
of
factors
like
six
factors
that
they
present
to
us
that
show
that
they
would
be
replicating
something
that's
already
in
existence.
One
is
that
their
sales
have
been
under
50%,
there's
a
floor
plan
and
kind
of
all
the
other
things
literally,
where.
D
C
W
Yes,
a
you
can't
have
gaming
in
the
name
or
something
related
to
gaming
in
the
name:
okay,
okay
and
then
this
is
just
off
at
a
left
field
here,
but
I
was
seeing
some
site
plans
in
the
agenda
and
I
know
that
they
call
for
a
certain
number
of
AD
a
accessible
parking
spots
and
I.
Just
wonder
what
do
we
do
it
for
compliance
just
to
look
and
make
sure
that
they
are
compliant
when
they
actually
finish
it.
C
AB
W
W
AB
C
Thanks,
thank
you
and
at
this
point
did
we
we
don't
have
a
motion.
Do
we
have
a
motion,
but
you
did
oh
I'm,
sorry,
okay,
this
point,
so
everyone
go
ahead
and
vote
on.
The
motion
to
approve
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce
madam
Clerk,
and
we
have
one
more
item:
seven
H.
Oh.
O
There
is
notice,
there's
no
description
for
the
tractor
they're
ordering
a
tractor
in
addition
to
that
office.
Supply
thing
that
they
need
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
the
$5,000
is
a
typo,
because
I
don't
know
if
any
tractor,
and
that
would
cost
$5,000
and
without
of
Israel
I
just
would
like
to
know.
Okay,
the
board
approved
it.
The
library
board
approved
this,
but
I
just.
J
It
is
not
a
typo,
it's
a
tractor
that
they'll
they'll
drive
around
to
do
snow
plowing,
so
it
does
cost
more
because
it
needs
to
be
able
to
withstand
the
weight
of
snow
and
in
our
past
one
was
under
the
threshold.
I
think
we
put
that
in
the
memo.
So
that's
why
we
didn't
budget
for
it
as
a
fixed
asset,
but
I
think
also
just
for
is
in
I'm.
O
Assuming
with
the
cost
of
fights
I'm,
not
questioning
the
cause,
I'm,
just
it's
described
as
a
tractor
no
picture
was
provided.
So
in
my
mind,
if
it
costs
5,000
I'm
thinking
of
those
little
things
that
have
treads
with
a
little
shovel
that
will
open
that
one.
Okay,
Bobcat
go
up
and
down
the
sidewalks
that
might
cost
5,000.
But
if
it's
something
larger
for
a
park,
I
would
think
that
it
would
cost
much
more
and
that's
the
only
question.
I
have
it's.
J
O
J
C
C
If
I
could
just
if
we
could
do
things
in
the
future
like
if
we've
got
unusual
purchases,
maybe
provide
pictures
or
anything
that
we
can
and
that
if
we
have
questions
so
we
don't
actually
spend
the
better
part
of
an
hour
on
the
consent
agenda
that
we
try
to
get
these
questions
answered
beforehand
so
that
we
can
deal
with
the
matters
that
are
more
substantive.
Obviously,
if
there
are
questions
on
consent
agenda
legitimately
we
want
to
pull
them
of
course,
but
we
don't
really
want
this
I,
don't
think
to
be
common
practice.
C
At
this
point,
let's
move
on
to
a
regular
agenda
which
is
item
7.
Excuse
me
8
a
consideration
of
approving
a
professional
services
agreement
in
the
amount
of
forty
nine
thousand
eight
hundred
ten
dollars
with
Lakota
group
and
I'm,
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
mr.
Gleason,
who
and
I
think
is
going
to
turn
it
over
perhaps
to
mr.
mark,
and
then
we
have
a
brief
council
question
answer.
Okay,
actually,.
V
Mayor
and
council
we've
got
KC
Simpson,
a
city
planner
is
going
to
present,
but
this
is
one
that
actually
didn't
need
to
be
in
the
regular
agenda,
but
we're
celebrating
a
win
of
the
forty
nine
thousand
that's
listed
under
the
description.
Thirty
thousand
is
coming
from
the
Illinois
Historic
Preservation
bless.
You
then
also
other
comments
from
the
chair
from
the
Historic
Preservation
Lea
Cline.
They
were,
they
were
spot
on
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Katie
Katie.
Welcome.
AC
Yeah,
just
to
echo
exactly
what
Tim
said
in
June
of
2019
City
Council
adopted
a
resolution
entering
into
an
agreement
with
the
state
of
Illinois
to
receive
these
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
do
the
preservation
plan,
our
portion,
that
was
in
our
grant
application
with
twenty
thousand.
We
expected
the
project
to
be
fifty
thousand,
maybe
more
sometimes
it
can
be
more
expensive.
After
we
had
that
agreement
between
the
council
and
the
state,
we
went
back
into
the
NAR
FP
request
for
proposals.
We
had
three
bids
come
in.
All
of
them
are
under
fifty
thousand.
AC
The
Lakota
group
is
the
group
that
we're
recommending
it
had
their
proposal
addressed
everything
that
we
are
looking
for.
Expenses
public
outreach.
They
had
a
lot
of
experience
with
community
preservation
planning
for
this
scale
and
also
looking
at
preservation
as
an
economic
development
tool,
not
just
as
a
way
to
keep
landmarks.
But
how
can
we
reuse
these
properties
and
make
them
feasible,
and
so
everything
that
Tim
said
everything
that
miss
Kline
said
earlier?
O
AC
Actually,
that's
a
great
question
and
a
great
point,
so
we
have
a
preservation
plan
right
now,
but
it
was
adopted
in
1983
and
so
it's
not
really
in
our
comprehensive
plan.
It
was
updated
in
2004.
The
goal
would
be
to
bring
the
goal
the
goals
and
recommendations
from
our
comp
plan,
weave
it
into
the
preservation
plan
and
then,
when
we
go
back
and
update
our
comp
plan,
we'll
have
a
relevant
document
that
we
can
then
weed
back
into
the
comp
plan.
But
we
want
the
two
to
align.
O
U
AC
U
Definitely
would
be
in
favor
of
getting
rid
of
the
old
preservation
plan.
I'm
really
excited
about
this.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
presenting
this,
and
putting
this
together.
I
was
impressed
for
for
a
couple
of
the
reasons
you
mentioned,
that
I
see
the
connection
to
the
comprehensive
plan,
so
so
clearly
in
this
document,
because
preservation
was
a
big
cornerstone
of
that
I
mean
this
will
give
us
a
map
as
to
how
I
love
their
community
engagement
piece.
U
It's
really
impressed
with
that
and
that
looking
at
preservation
as
an
economic
driver,
but
the
other
reason
why
I
think
this
plan
is
really
good
and
worth
supporting
is
that
they
also
were
looking
at
implementation.
So
I
think
often
we
we
plan,
and
we
don't
really
move
and
I,
see
that
this
group
has
a
history
of
not
just
planning
but
engaging
in
concert
with
the
community
and
the
staff
to
see
that
these
things
can
be
put
into
place.
So
I'm
really
excited
about
this.
U
AA
C
W
W
I
guess
the
the
concern
I
have
and
then
I'll
ask
a
question
is
just
a
note
that
would-
and
maybe
it
was
a
mistake
on
page
274,
the
packet
it
asks.
Has
the
company
developed
a
read,
an
equal
opportunity
plan
and
I,
assuming
that
meant
with
regard
to
a
diverse
workforce,
and
they
said
no,
which
I
found
odd,
but
certainly
not
that's,
not
anything
that
would
prevent
me
from
from
voting
for
this
is
the
question
I.
Have,
though,
is,
could
you
say
a
little
bit
more
I
mean?
Why
do
we
need
can't?
W
AC
AC
What
areas
right
now
we
have
six
neighborhood
local
districts
for
which
are
on
the
National
Register,
there's
certain
incentives
that
come
with
having
things
on
the
National
Register.
In
order
to
do
that,
we
have
to
do
an
inventory
and
an
assessment
of
those
properties,
and
so
how
do
we
be
efficient
with
our
resources
and
and
come
up
with
where
we
should
be
doing
where
we
should
be
spending
that
time?
You
know,
for
example,
the
the
warehouse
district,
for
example,
there's
a
lot
of
old
buildings
there.
None
of
them
are
on
the
National
Register
right
now.
AC
None
of
them
have
local
designation.
Our
current
historic
preservation
plan
doesn't
really
address
how
to
make
them
vital
again
and
so
having
the
plan
that
kind
of
guides.
Our
policy
that
can
help
council
decide
if
you
want
to
allocate
resources
to
doing
a
National,
Register
district
nomination,
which
makes
it
eligible
for
state
tax
credits,
or
you
know
things
like
that
to
help
help
guide
our
decisions
and
then
having
the
public
input
piece
to.
It
is
important
because
we
are
talking
about
property,
and
these
are
assets
for
the
future
of
Bloomington.
C
Motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce
madam
clerk
and
we
move
right
along
to
item
7b
and
that's
consideration
and
an
action
on
an
inter
government
agreement
with
the
Department
of
Health
Care
and
Family
Services,
to
participate
in
a
federal
program
to
receive
supplemental
Medicaid
payments
to
ground
emergency
medical
transports,
as
requested
by
the
fire
department.
And
we
have
a
brief
presentation
and
then
brief
council
discussion,
Thank
You.
V
Mayor
and
council
I'm
gonna
call
there.
He
is
fire
chief
Moore
to
the
podium,
but
this
is
actually
an
interesting
topic,
something
that
Brian
and
his
staff
ever
on.
The
lead
on
the
Illinois
fire
chiefs.
Association
is
partnering
with
the
Department
of
Human
Services
at
the
state
level,
and,
and
the
opportunity
here
is
to
collect
a
portion
of
the
uncollected
amount
for
ambulance
rides.
Basically,
it's
an
area
that
we
do
not
receive
reimbursement
for
Medicaid
and
it's
a
cost,
but
it's
one
that
we
accept
to
provide
this
service
to
our
community.
Z
Basically,
the
dis
called
the
ground.
A
G
mat
program,
a
ground
emergency
medical
transport,
the
Department
of
Health,
Care
and
Family
Services
is
the
Illinois
department
that
manages
the
Medicaid
payments
for
through
the
state
of
Illinois.
This
newly
proposed
plan
will
help
provide
a
supplemental
payment
that
will
help
offset
and
offset
that
cost
to
provide
the
transport
service
to
Medicaid
patients.
Z
Currently
there
are
several
states
that
are
already
participating
in
plan
similar
to
this
state,
such
as
Missouri
Iowa,
Colorado,
Florida
and
Massachusetts.
Illinois's
plan
has
been
modeled
after
massachusetts
in
florida's
plan.
The
Department
of
Health,
Care
and
Family
Service
anticipate
that
this
plan
will
be
approved
by
the
end
of
this
year.
So
again
it's
a
bit.
The
plan
is
a
proposed,
but
not
yet
approved.
They
don't
believe,
there's
any
reason
why
this
plan
will
not
be
approved.
Just
put
it
in
context.
Last
year,
Medicaid
ambulance
transports
made
up
34%
of
our
ambulance
transports.
Z
Z
The
fire
departments
required
to
submit
an
annual
cost
report
to
the
department,
Health
Care
and
Family
Services,
along
with
this
inter-government
agreement,
they're
trying
to
get
departments
to
participate
in
this
so
that
they
can
start
to
acquire
the
data
that
they
need
to
decide
how
much
those
supplemental
payments
will
be
and
those
our
costs
will
be
looked
at
regionally,
so
there'll
be
like
an
average.
That's
that's
that
comes
up
with
that.
What
that
up,
Mainland!
AD
C
Wow
seconder
in
chief
council
member
a
long
way
further
questions
comments:
okay,
seeing
none
if
everyone
to
go
ahead
and
vote
motion
carries
9

no,

Madam
clerk,
Thank
You
chief
appreciate
your
help.
Thanks.
Where
do
we
move
to
our
last
regular
item?
Item
8c,
and
this
is
consideration
and
an
action
on
a
resolution
to
initiating
a
text
amendment
to
the
city
of
Bloomington
zoning
code.
Chapter
44
to
allow
can
adult
use
cannabis,
business
establishments
in
the
city
of
Bloomington,
as
requested
by
the
Community
Development
Department.
C
Let
me
just
clarify,
since
we
had
quite
a
few
people
commenting
and
public
comment,
this
is
a
very
narrow
vote
by
narrow
charge.
This
is
not
whether
to
opt
in
opt
out.
It
was
something
that
seemed
to
be
unanimously
agreed
to
by
the
the
council
in
the
last
meeting,
and
that
was
to
move
ahead
with
the
zoning
process.
If
we
moved
in
that
direction,
is
that
a
fair
statement?
Mr.
Gleason,
you.
C
AE
Right,
Thank,
You,
mayor
and
council,
and
you
guys
basically
took
care
of
my
first
slide,
which
is
this-
is
just
the
formal
process
under
our
zoning
code.
The
first
step
in
doing
a
tax
amendment
is
to
initiate
it
and
you
do
that
by
resolution
or
motion.
We
have
a
resolution
in
front
of
you
tonight.
If
it
is
approved,
then
there
would
be
a
hearing
in
front
of
the
Planning
Commission
on
November
13th.
The
impact
of
this
this
is,
as
was
just
stated,
simply
moving
the
item
forward
to
the
Planning
Commission.
AE
AE
That's
in
the
text
amendment
we
followed
a
similar
process
with
the
then
what
we've
done
with
other
tax
amendments
in
the
past,
including
the
comprehensive
zoning
overhaul
that
we
did
last
October
in
2018,
where
we
actually
have
a
sample
tax
amendment
attached
as
an
exhibit
to
the
resolution.
So
you
see
that
in
the
packet
tonight
a
couple
of
so
it's
basically
a
starting
point.
AE
We
understand
that
the
council
might
change
it
that
might
have
some
changes
through
the
Planning
Commission
process
to
the
public
hearing
process
once
it
even
goes
through
that
you
might
have
some
additional
changes
to
it.
But
this
is
a
starting
point
based
on
the
IML
model,
ordinance
reviewing
other
ordinances
that
communities
throughout
the
state
are
doing
other
kind
of
feedback,
best
practices,
those
types
of
things.
AE
So
a
couple
of
key
provisions
that
you
see
in
this
text
amendment
is
that
it's
all
designed
any
use
would
be
by
special
use,
so
that
would
require,
if
somebody
wants
to
start
a
business
establishment
that
they
would
have
to
go
and
get
a
special
use.
That
would
require
a
public
hearing
through
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals
and
then
ultimately,
approval
by
this
council.
So
any
type
of
business-
and
you
know,
there's
the
four
or
five
different
business
establishments
would
have
to
go
through
that
process.
AE
All
business
establishments
would
have
to
be
500
feet
from
the
property
line
of
schools,
churches
playgrounds,
those
types
of
things.
We
also
have
a
requirement
that
it
would
be
at
least
250
feet
from
the
property
line
of
any
residential
zone
district.
So
you
know
you
see
these
types
of
restrictions
and
a
lot
of
these
ordinances
that
communities
are
approving,
so
those
are
what
we
have
in
this
potential
draft
amendment.
We
also
have
in
this
amendment
that
on-site
consumption
or
youths
would
be
prohibited.
AE
AE
Advertising
is
linked
to
the
act.
There
are
specific
provisions
for
both
of
these
in
the
in
the
cannabis
Control
Act,
for
example,
advertising.
You
know
you
can't
have
cartoon
characters,
you
can
have
advertising,
that's
designed
toward
minors,
you're
going
to
see
pretty
signs,
and
things
like
this
are
going
to
be
pretty
plain
and
generic.
We
link
that
into
the
special
use
provisions,
because
if
there
were
to
be
a
violation
of
that,
then
we
could
go
after
the
special
use
permit
and
not
necessarily
rely
on
the
state
going
after
their
licensing.
AE
We
we
have
kind
of
component
factors,
for
you
know,
in
addition
to
the
all
the
other
special
use
requirements
that
somebody
has
to
go
through
if
you're
going
to
have
a
cannabis,
this
establishment.
There
are
some
other
factors
that
you
look
at
to
decide
whether
or
not
they're
going
to
get
the
special
use.
One
of
them
is
the
number
of
other
existing
cannabis
businesses
that
are
already
in
operation.
So
you
know
if
you're
looking
at
a
proliferation
or
if
you
you
know,
if
there's
a
decision,
that
there
are
too
many
establishments
within
the
community.
AE
That
is
a
factor
that
can
be
considered
and
in
the
impact
on
those
establishments
also
the
impact
the
proposed
establishment
would
have
on
existing
or
plan
uses
within
the
vicinity
of
the
subject
property.
So,
for
example,
if
somebody
is
is
planning
to
put
one,
you
know
right
next
door
to
maybe
it's
not
a
church
or
you
know,
falls
within
the
definition
of
a
school,
but
maybe
it's
a
similar
type
use.
You
know.
That
is
something
that
could
be
considered
when
deciding
on
the
special
use,
just
generally
the
timeline.
AE
If,
if
the
council
were
to
vote
on
to
initiate
this
process
tonight,
as
I
said,
this
would
go
to
the
Planning
Commission
for
a
public
hearing
on
November
13th
notice
of
that
will
actually
be
in
the
newspaper
tomorrow,
because
we
had
to
make
the
that
deadline,
that
that
could
be
one
public
hearing,
though
it
could
be
continued
if
they
need
to
have
multiple
public
hearings
on
it.
If
it
were
to
be
wrapped
up
in
time,
then
potentially
the
council
could
vote
on
that
at
one
of
the
meetings
in
December.
AE
AE
This
is
you
know,
kind
of
the
schedule
to
do
that,
but
again
that
that's
kind
of
a
self-imposed
deadline
that,
if
you
want
that
the
other
we
will
be
taking
up,
you
know
potentially
other
cannabis
items
in
relation
to
updating
the
misdemeanor
provisions
of
our
city
code.
That
really
don't
have
anything
to
do
with
zoning
or
businesses,
but
more
on
the
violations
for
having
you
know
over.
You
know
so
many
grams
of
cannabis
and
those
things
that's
a
separate
process
that
will
come
separate,
but
also
before
the
end
of
the
year.
AE
C
AD
AE
AD
I
should
thank
you
for
that.
So
if,
if
we
had
a
collective
consensus
here
that
we
had
some
interest
in
exploring
certain
kinds
of
businesses
for
a
community
for
now,
but
other
businesses
later,
what
would
we
be
able
to?
So
if
we
said
we
wanted
to,
let's
say,
stay
in
to
do
a
distribution
center,
but
opt
out
of
a
cultivation
center?
Could
we
later
go
back
and
revisit
the
cultivation
center
opt
out?
Yes,.
AE
So
if,
if
you,
for
example,
if
you
opt
out
on
some
business
establishments
now,
then
certainly
you
can,
you
know,
go
back
through
the
same
process
and
zone
those
and
approve
those
repeal
your
prohibition
ordinance
those
types
of
things.
It's
really
you
know
and
again
this
is.
This
has
not
been
tested
by
any
communities
yet,
but,
based
on
my
read
my
understanding
of
the
law
at
this
point
that
you
would
be
allowed
to
do
those
types
of
things,
there's
a
Home,
Rule
community.
AD
And
I've
heard
some
things
in
the
legal
community
and
actually
talked
to
Senator
Derek
Mann
about
this
issue
about
what's
happening
with
that
trailer
bill
and
as
of
the
end
of
last
week,
I
heard
the
trailer
bill
will
be
pushed
into
the
next
legislative
session
rather
than
appear
in
the
November
session.
Are
you
hearing
similar
the.
A
AD
AD
C
A
AD
A
city
to
zone
and
pick
and
choose
what
which
of
these
businesses
fit
our
community
if
any
and
then
which
that
we
would
reject
and
we're
looking
at
asking
our
Planning
Commission
to
take
on
a
whole
list
of
things
that
I'm
not
sure
at
this
juncture
that
this
body
has
an
appetite
to
jump
in
to
all
these
businesses.
Maybe
we
want
to
only
send
to
Planning
Commission
one
or
two
to
map
out
for
us
and
take
an
incremental
approach
as
we
look
at
both
our
zoning
and
what
these
propositions
you
know.
Are
this
emerging
business?
AD
There's
a
lot
to
be
learned
in
this
space.
There's
awful
lot.
We
don't
know,
and
while
you
know,
we've
received
some
information
from
mark
one
citizen
group.
We
have
other
groups
too
yet
here
from
and
so
I,
we
just
again
say
that
you
know
I
think
maybe
we
we
might
want
to
just
I'm
interested
here.
What
other
folks
think
about
that?
But
I
really
would
like
to
kind
of
introduce
the
concept
that
maybe
we
pick
two
to
send
over
to
zoning
and
have
those
come
back
and
then
again
adopting
an
incremental
ISM
approach.
T
Of
questions
for
Jeff,
so
one
is
there
any
way
that
we
can
pull
up
the
zoning
map
like
to
visualize,
where
these
areas
would
be
it's
coming.
Okay,
great
and
I
would
like
to
put
in
the
request
that
normal
has
one,
and
we
can
have
nice
things
too.
So
I
would
like
for
us
to
have
one
for
our
residents
to
look
at
like
if
this
proposal
were
adopted.
As
is
then
like.
What
would
that
look
like
in
terms
of
areas
that
that
came.
T
AE
These
are
the
this
is
kind
of
the
initial
work
by
by
city
staff
and
specifically
the
planner
Katie
Simpson.
He
shows
shows
a
few
of
the
districts
or
the
districts
that
these
types
of
establishments
would
be
allowed
in
now
this
doesn't
take
into
account.
You
know
the
250-foot
requirement
to
be
away
from
residential
or
the
500-foot.
You
know
from
a
school
or
a
church,
or
something
like
that,
but
there's.
T
AE
That
you
see
colored
up,
there
is
yes
and
staff
did
a
zoning
matrix
on
this,
and
so
we
actually
I
think
have
a
map
for
each
different
type
of
business
establishment,
because
there
might
be
some
types
of
businesses
that
are
better
for
agricultural,
then
you
know
for
your
downtown
district.
So
not
all
businesses
are
the
same,
but
this
is
you
know.
This
is
all
of
the
different
types
of
districts
that
would
allow
some
type
of
business
establishment.
So.
AA
D
T
AE
AE
A
T
We
decided
to
go
with
the
IML
language
that
prohibits
it.
Did
we
look
into
any
other
possibilities?
I
guess
my
concern
is
making
prohibition
the
default
or
I
guess
in
the
reverse,
making
approval
of
on-premises
use
the
default
like
I,
don't
know.
Is
there
some
way
that
we
can
tell
its
own
in
Commission
that
they
should
look
at
on-premises
use
without
setting
a
standard
like
a
default
of
yes,
we're
allowing
or
disallowing
I.
AE
Would
say:
that's
really
completely
up
to
the
council
is
to
you
know
what
what
you
want
to
do.
I
mean
we,
you
can.
Certainly
you
can
send
me,
you
know
messages
or
we
can
tell
the
Planning
Commission
there
were
there.
Were.
You
know,
council
members
that
want
to
look
at
this
aspect
or
that
aspect.
So
we
can.
We
can
really
approach
it.
However,
this
council
wants
to
approach
it,
but
you
know
again,
as
you
said,
you
know
we
kind
of
followed
the
IML.
AE
T
T
AE
C
C
W
AC
AE
W
We'd
also
change
the
the
distance
for
schools
and
that
kind
of
thing-
yes,
okay
and
then
I
was
a
little
unclear
on
the
timeline.
So
I
know
that
that
potentially
there
would
be
public
comment
in
front
of
the
Planning
Commission
on
November
13th.
But
then
the
plan
Commission
Planning
Commission-
needs
to
vote
right.
So
when
would
that
be?
It.
AE
Could
be
on
the
same
date
so
typically
the
the
the
public
hearing
you'll
have
you'll
start
that
and
you'll
have
people
who
will
provide
testimony.
People
who
will
want
to
you
know
provide
comment
on
the
text.
Amendment
I
think
there
will
probably
some
sort
of
a
staff.
The
Planning
Commission
members
that
will
then
debate
talk
about
the
various
aspects
of
it
and
they
could,
if
they're
ready,
they
could
vote
at
that
meeting
or
if
they
need
more
time
or
if
they
have
questions
it
could
be
continued
to
another
meeting
and.
W
AE
Right
and
I'm
actually
trying
to
pull
that
provision
up,
because
I
don't
want
to
tell
you
wrong
specifically
on
once.
They
recommend
that
to
the
City
Council
sometime,
there
are
provisions
that
say
you
can
reject
and
send
it
back.
Sometimes
there
a
provision
saying
you
can
change
it.
So
I'm
gonna
pull
that
up
as
we're
talking
here,
but
but
generally
yes,
that
they
will
take
a
look
at
this.
They
may
make
recommendations
that
you
know
certain
businesses
be
in
different
districts.
You
know,
and
that's
really
what
the
process
is
supposed
to
do.
AE
F
F
So
this
is
just
starting
to
process.
I.
Definitely
appreciate
that
one
there's
a
couple
of
things
that
I'm
you
know
I've
said
before
I'm
very
interested
in
the
revenue
implications
for
for
the
city,
so
for
us
to
explore
that.
So
to
that
extent,
you
know
going
back
to
something
that
the
mayor
said:
I
think
it
would
be
in
the
interest
of
time.
F
It
would
be
wise
for
us
to
make
sure
that
certain
topics
are
covered
during
the
the
Planning
Commission
hearing
and
on
the
subject
of
the
Planning
Commission,
the
hearing,
I
I'm
a
little
concerned
that
you
know
I
mean
it
looks
like
we're
moving
in
the
direction
of
allowing
probably
more
discussion.
So
it's
not
just
one
meeting,
because
I
do
feel
like
for
something
that
is
for
one.
The
legislation
is
so
large,
I
think
it's
taken
so
much
time
to
develop.
F
F
C
Thank
you
very
much
and
at
this
point,
since
we've
got
a
couple,
people
who
want
to
still
want
to
speak,
can
we
have
a
motion.
This
really
is
supposed
to
be
a
very
narrow
discussion
of
whether
or
not
we
just
move
ahead
with
the
planning.
You
know
process
and
that's
what
we
unanimously
agreed
on
last
week.
But
let's
can
I
have
a
motion
to
extend
our
time
because
we've
expended
by
ten
minutes
move
by
councilmember
Boland
second
by
councilmember,
Cuddy
Oh.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
roll
Oh
what
I
think?
Oh
I'm?
Sorry?
C
AA
Thanks
I
just
have
a
comment
of
it:
I
think.
Whatever
we
do
moving
forward,
we
need
to
look
at
what
normal
does
and
sort
of
do
it
in
a
partnership
with
them,
because
you
were
one
community
and
we
have
several
colleges
and
I
think
that
it
would
be
really
to
our
benefit
to
make
sure
that
we
work
together
on
this
and,
secondly,
I
think
that
as
long
as
we
are
going
through
this
whole
zoning
process,
we
should
do
it
for
everything,
including
craft
growers,
and
everything
like
that.
AA
O
O
All
so
there
is
a
clause
or
whatever
spirit
of
the
law
that
is
related
to
social
justice
and
I
also
have
been
attending
all
the
connect
transit
meanings
and
they
talk
about
having
bus
service
for
the
purpose
of
economic
development.
So
I
would
suggest,
or
maybe
ask
that
at
least
dispensaries
be
along
a
bus
row
more
accessible
by
easily
accessible
by
bus
route,
because
everybody
should
be
able
to
that
want
it.
If
it's
legal
should
be
able
to
access
it
and
for
people
that
maybe
want
to
work,
there
should
be
able
to
access
it.
O
Oh
yeah,
the
only
other
thing,
and
this
pretty
much
for
the
public
record
to
zoning
meanings
are
at
four
o'clock
majority
people
in
this
community
are
at
work
from
my
experience
at
attending
zoning
meetings.
Very
few
people
attentive
voice
their
opinion.
My
concern
is
that
we
will
not
get
very
much
feedback.
The
consensus
that
I
have
gotten
both
pro
and
con
bottom
line
is
not
my
backyard,
so
I
just.
X
Johnny
and
Donna
stole
two
of
the
things
I
wouldn't
talk
about.
One
was
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
working
in
partnership
with
the
town,
because
every
time
we
do
something
different
for
them,
we
keep
drawing
barriers
and
it
exacerbates
problems,
and
then
the
second
one
Donna
said
was
working
with
connect
transit
on
this.
You
know.
We
know
that
the
earlier
connect
transit
gets
involved
in
any
development
project.
The
better
the
outcome
is
for
people
that
might
want
to
work
there.
X
AE
Right
and
Katie
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
on
this,
but
for
purposes
this
that
would
not
be
treated
as
residential
if
it's
actually
in
a
business
district
am
I,
correct,
so
and
I
think
the
thought
process
behind
that
is
is
if
somebody's
living
in
you
know
that
type
of
a
zone
district
then
and
there's
already
commercial.
You
know
establishments
around
them
that
that
you
know
there
would
not
be
that
distinction,
so
it
would
not
be
considered
a
residential
zone,
property
and.
X
Then,
just
one
last
comment
is
when
we're
drawing
the
maps
of
potential
locations
and
I
think
the
default
is
500
feet
from
schools
and
churches.
I
would
appreciate
if
it's
not
a
ridiculous
amount
of
work
to
also
see
what
750
or
a
thousand
feet
Maps
look
like
at
the
same
time,
so
that
we
can
kind
of
make
some
differentiation
there.
I
don't
know
how
much
work
that
is,
but
I
think
that'd
just
be
good
information
to
have
thank.
Y
Yet,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Jeff
is
everybody's
favorite
topic
yeah,
so
I
want
to
revisit
something.
You
said
earlier
about
the
process
in
that,
so
zoning
and
planning
will
or
will
say,
planning
is
going
to
take
a
look
at
this
and
there's
some
zoning
recommendations
run
a
special
use
permit,
which
I
totally
support.
Y
AE
AE
AE
AE
So,
for
example,
if
they
make
a
recommendation
to
you
and
let's
say
that
their
recommendation
is
to
you
know,
also
prohibit
any
business
in
the
you
know,
the
AG
districts
and-
and
this
council
was
very
concerned
about
that
I
think
you
could
probably
remand
it
back
and
say
we
want
you
to
take
another
leak,
look
at
this
component
of
it
and
then
they
would
and
maybe
ultimately
say.
Okay,
we
recommend
it
now
to
include
AG
districts
so.
Y
Y
A
Y
Level
here
when
looking
at
this
map,
this
is
very
helpful
and
anything
we
can
do
that
makes
this
not
look
like
it's
a
color
blind
test.
I
would
appreciate
so
I
see
you
know.
I've
heard
a
lot
of
feedback
from
folks
Ward
7
is
has
a
lot
of
area.
That's
lit
up
right
now.
Some
of
it
is
like
a
block
or
two
from
my
house
and
that's
part
of
what
I
would
envision.
Y
Know
it
does
not
bother
me
because
I
look
at
it
like
this,
that
if
we
have
a
special
use,
permit
process
in
place
and
the
neighborhood
gets
their
way
in
and
there's
no
concern
from
the
neighborhood,
then
why
should
I
have
a
concern
and
as
a
resident,
if
somebody
were
to
put
a
dispensary
near
my
home?
I'd
have
some
questions
about
what
the
security
looks
like
what
the
process
looks
like
I
weigh
in
on
that
through
the
the
younam's
owning
Board
of
Appeals,
and
then
hopefully
my
concerns.
Y
Y
So
and
I've
also
heard
a
lot
about,
you
know
some
of
the
growing
cultivation
centers
and
some
of
the
issues
around
like
the
odors
that
come
from
them.
You
know
what
that
looks
like
all
of
that.
That
process
could
be
encapsulated
during
a
zba
conversation
and
the
neighbors
could
weigh
in
or
not
weigh
in
or
whatever
their
thoughts.
And
then
we
don't
make
that
determination.
Correct,
that's
correct,
okay,
yeah!
So
to
Kim's
point
from
earlier.
Y
C
We're
once
again
out
of
time
and
I
do
want
to
reiterate
what
all
of
and
black
is
it
weird
we're
talking
about,
as
we
did
in
the
last
meeting
unanimously
just
to
begin
the
process,
the
planning
process,
where
we
would
get
all
of
this
information,
and
so
I'm
gonna,
ask
a
last
time,
but
just
what
I'm
going
to
say
five
minutes
remember
we're
not
making
any
decisions
other
than
to
start
the
planning
process.
I
forgot
who
said
it.
C
This
is
everybody's
favorite
topic,
but
we
got
a
cut
bait
on
this
one
yeah
we're
not
gonna
make
any
real
decisions
other
than
starting
the
planning
process
that
everybody
seemed
to
agree
on
in
the
last
meeting.
So
can
I
have
one
last
motion
for
five
more
minutes:
five
minutes,
Selma
move
by
a
council
member
katyo.
Is
there
second,
second,
second,
by
a
council
member
crave?
Oh
oh,
oh
she's
me,
madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
roll
councilman.
C
T
I
guess
maybe
just
a
clarifying
question
for
a
Scott,
so
when
you
say
that
you're
not
interested
in
the
in
considering
on
premises,
use
you
mean
as
part
of
this,
you
don't
want
to
see
it
in
this
purple.
I
just
want
to
clarify
what
that
means,
or
that's
just
not
something
that
you'd
like
you.
If,
even
if
the
Zoning
Board
came
back
and
recommended
it,
you
would
not
be
supportive
of
it
or
are
you
just
saying
you're,
not
supportive
of
amending
the
language.
T
AD
You
mayor
and
thank
you
for
bringing
at
that
point
and
I
would
that
go
all
the
men
blacks
comments
on
on-site
consumption
I
would
not
be
supportive
of
that
now
or
at
any
time
so
Jeff
a
quick
question.
You
dad
you
were
asked
about
a
process
and
how
we
would
try
to
exercise
control
over
these
locations
and
if
there
was
a
bad
actor
or
bad
things
were
happening,
a
particular
location.
Some
of
the
activities
that
we
would
take
and
the
like
could
could
the
business
prostitute
against
the
city
for
taking
that
action?
Well,.
AE
So
we
don't
usually
go
in
under
special
uses.
We
haven't
in
my
10
year
for
for
somebody
violating
that,
but
that
would
actually
be
an
action
that's
initiated
by
the
city
and
somebody's
taking
this
special
use.
They
know
the
conditions,
it's
part
of
part
of
the
whole
process.
So
you
know
it's
it's
something
that's
going
to
be
initiated
by
the
city.
I,
don't
know
what
any
kind
of
counterclaim
would
be.
They
might
argue.
Well
we're
not
violating
this,
but
a
courts
ultimately
going
to
decide.
Are
they
violating
this
condition
or
are
they
not?
AD
AE
AD
So
we
all
know,
litigation
can
be
expensive
and,
as
a
good
steward
of
the
monies
that
are
entrusted
to
us,
I
again
think
that
we
need
to
bring
our
due
diligence
to
bear.
While
there
are
those
in
the
community
they're
very
bullish
for
these
opportunities,
I'll
tell
you
that
I
represent
a
word
that
is
not
bullish
for
this
opportunity
and
I've.
AD
There
are
many
many
people
who
have
grave
concerns
it
from
various
walks
of
life.
When
you
take
a
look
at
this
map,
there's
this
echo
what
alderman
Bolan
has
said.
There's
this
idea
of
not
in
my
backyard
right,
yet
some
folks
say
we'll
just
Park
it
out
in
the
end
as
a
town.
Well,
when
you
look
at
the
edge
of
town
and
I'll
just
show
you,
our
ward
9
is
up
here
in
the
far
right
corner.
We
have
executive
homes,
which
we
have
a
very
high
assessed
value
and
we
benefit
from
the
taxes.
AD
AD
If
you
will,
because
this
value
proposition
has
not
yet
proved
out
so
so
what
I
would
say
is
that
I
think
our
due
diligence
requires
us
just
to
go
slowly.
I've
heard
hear
that
folks
are
supportive
of
the
distribution,
some
folks.
What
are
the
distribution,
centers,
the
sale,
centers
and
the
craft
centers,
but
I
don't
know
that
anyone
is
supportive
of
the
of
the
AG
centers
and
the
processing
centers.
Necessarily
we've
not
really
taken
any
testimony.
We.
AD
We
put
our
efforts
of
our
citizens
to
work
on
trying
to
zone
out
some
things
that
may
be
something
for
which
we
have
no
appetite.
I
would
make
a
recommendation
and
actually
make
a
motion
that
we
amend
this
proposed
referral
over
to
the
Planning
Commission,
and
we
just
asked
them
to
go
to
work
on
two
pieces,
one
being
the
adult
used
cannabis,
business,
establishment
and
the
second
one
being
the
adult
use
cannabis
grass
craft
grower.
AD
C
AD
AD
C
C
C
C
C
V
AF
Good
along
evening,
so
I'll
move
quickly.
Trends
are
still
positive,
but
I
wanted
to
highlight
user
Mouse
here,
I've
added
a
column
for
context
off
to
the
right
here,
the
FY
19
budget.
We
do
have
information
that
highlights
the
year-over-year
but
I'm.
When
I'm
discussing
our
20
variants
to
budget.
It
might
be
helpful
to
keep
in
mind
where
we
were
for
2019.
AF
For
example,
local
youth
tax
is
seventy
nine
thousand
dollars
better
than
budget
year
to
date
through
five
months,
but
you
can
see
that
we
took
budget
up
to
two
three
five
Oh
from
point
nine,
so
we
increase
the
budget
by
450,000,
so
a
$79,000
Inc
budget
variance
for
the
year.
That's
still
a
good
number,
but
when
you
put
that
in
the
context
of
how
what
we
were
budget
at
last
year,
it's
a
very
good
statistic.
So
obviously
I've
talked
about
that
a
lot.
That's
the
online
sales
tax
legislation
that
went
into
effect.
AF
That's
going
to
ramp
up
next
July
to
include
local
taxes.
We
want
to
be
conservative
going
into
budget
on
that
line,
but
that
that
that
number
should
should
keep
improving
that
as
we
move
along
moving
back
to
the
prior
year
today.
Variance
column,
I,
just
I,
just
got
sprouts
told
me
to
do
this,
so
they
can
see
it
online.
We
only
have
two
categories
that
are
under
from
prior
year
compared
comparison
home
rule.

You
know,
you're
talking
about
a
budget
of
twenty
three
million
dollars
so
being
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
under
the
prior
year
is
I
hesitate
to
say
immaterial,
but
that
could
that
could
change
in
one
month
and
then
utility
tax
significant
decrease
over
the
prior
year.
Once
again,
as
I've
mentioned
previously,
that's
all
telecom
going
down
the
2020
budget,
variances
food
and
beverage
continues
to
do
very
well.
137
thousand.
We
took
that
budget
up
slightly
year
over
year.
AF
Four
point:
three
million
versus
four
point:
two
three,
so
people
are
going
out
and
enjoying
themselves
I
view
that
as
a
good
attitude
towards
the
economy,
you
know
which
is
reflected
in
our
income
tax
and
our
replacement
tax
numbers
being
an
over
budget.
The
other
line
I
wanted
to
highlight
tonight
is
the
hotel-motel
tax.
I.
Rarely
speak
talk
about
this.
We
actually
took
that
budget
down
year-over-year
that
that
category
has
been
somewhat
declining.
AF
AF
The
general
fund
income
statement
I
wanted
to
highlight
these
variance
notes
that
I've
added
over
here
most
of
these
are
based
on
comparison
of
prior
year.
I'm
going
to
start
updating
this
projected
column
next
month
will
be
six
months
in
we'll
have
some
good
data.
At
that
point,
where
we
can
start
projecting
trans
to
things
to
highlight
tonight
the
licenses
category
you
can
see
that
we're
177
178
year
today
versus
93
thousand
dollars
last
year.
That's
due
to
the
video
gaming
terminal
fees
that
were
new
for
2020,
so
we
budgeted
125
thousand.
AF
It
came
in
about
123
5
a
little
under,
but
that's
the
material
difference
there.
The
benefits
line,
our
trend,
remember
annualized
trend,
that's
where
five
months
through
the
year,
so
that's
42
percent.
If
we
straight
lined
every
category
which
is
exactly
42
percent
through
each
category,
well,
we're
seasonal
with
cyclical
in
the
city,
benefits
and
salaries
can
go
up
and
down,
but
benefits
you
can
see
is
over.
AF
AF
Enterprise
funds
I've
updated
some
data
points
on
this
worksheet
I
put
in
the
beginning
fund
balance
for
the
year,
so
we've
got
the
current
year.
Activity
I
was
asked,
you
know
about
the
negatives
the
Reds,
so
I
want
to
highlight
water,
twenty-eight
million
dollars.
Twenty
seven
point:
eight
million
dollars
in
beginning
fund
balance.
AF
The
budget
includes
a
use
of
fund
balance
of
eight
point:
three
million
capital
projects
budgeted
for
the
year
two
point:
five
million.
So
if
everything
rolls
out
exactly
as
budgeted
the
total
year-to-date
gain
loss
will
be
eight
point:
three
million
dollars,
so
we're
gonna,
see
you
know,
it'll,
look
as
if
the
fund
lost
money,
but
there's
a
planned
use
of
fund
balance.
Water
has
been
accumulating
fund
balance
over
the
years
and
and
now
they're
beginning
some
major
projects.
So
it's
a
shame
layout
for
the
rest
of
the
funds.
AF
Moving
down
to
charges
for
services
I
like
to
highlight
you
know
how
our
revenues
are
trending
for
the
enterprise
funds.
You
know
that's
really.
What's
driving
things,
everything's,
really
trending
pretty
much
on
track!
Golf
again
is
a
little
under
prior
year.
One
point:
six
million
almost
last
year,
year-to-date
1.4
through
here
and
then
the
arena.
The
charges
for
services
I
have
a
little
note
in
here.
It
says
all
arena,
entertainment.
That's
venue
works,
ok,
so
otherwise
the
other
side
of
the
arena
there's
two
divisions
in
the
arena.
AF
Fun
you've
got
the
facility
side
with
all
the
debt
service
and
the
maintenance.
And
then
you
have
the
venue
work
side.
It's
all
one
fun,
but
we
split
into
two
divisions.
So
the
only
charges
for
service
revenue
that
we
have
in
the
arena
is
related
to
venue
works
653,000
there
year
a
bit
they
budget
is
467,
so
they're
having
a
good
year.
So
far,
that's
concluding
my
presentation
for
the
evening.
I
wanted
to
run
right
through
that.
Any
questions.
Questions
oh.
T
One
quick
comment
from
somebody
who's:
an
avid
watcher
of
these
council
meetings
on
youtube,
wondering
if
there's
any
way
that
we
can
make
these
materials
easier
to
see
or
like
available
because,
like
there
are
people
who
want
to
follow
along
and
even
folks
in
the
audience
here
today
like
it's
too
far
away
for
them
to
see,
and
so
then
they're
not
as
engaged
as
they
could
be
so
I,
don't
know
what
we
can
do
about
that.
But
if
it's
something
that
you
can
spend
some
time,
thinking
about
I
would
sure
appreciate.
AF
T
I
mean
even
one
thing
would
be
like
if
even
if
you're
working
up
to
them
like
right
up
to
the
so
while
this
meeting
is
happening,
it's
like
there
can
be
like
a
link
like
you
know
they
could
they
get
uploaded
somewhere
and
there's
a
link,
and
you
just
tell
folks
if
you
want
to
follow
alone
along
go
to
this
link,
even
if
that
link
isn't
made
available
until
like
right.
When
you
stand
up
there,
then
people
can
pull
out
their
phones
and
follow
along
there.
Just.
V
Cap,
real
quick
on
the
budget
before
I
move
on
to
a
couple
of
additional
comments.
Like
Scott
said
and,
like
we've
said
the
past
several
months,
the
economy
appears
to
be
healthy
in
Bloomington,
but
it
just
takes.
You
know
a
small
amount
to
adjust
those
numbers
that
it
looks
like
we're
on
a
winning
track
now,
but
that's
definitely
where
we
stand
currently
so
potentially
provides
us
in
the
FY
21
budget,
we're
currently
in
FY
2008
when
t1
to
catch
up
on.
V
You
know
different
projects
that
maybe
have
been
postponed,
for
you
know
obviously
financial
reasons,
all
right.
A
couple
additional
items
we
had
Rene
Nesler
the
business
agent
for
asked
me
$6.99,
come
up
in
public
comment
and
speak
and
as
promised,
when
I
commented
at
the
last
meeting
I'm
going
to
also
comment
this
meeting,
we
have
a
city,
employee,
Public,
Works,
Rolla,
Boyd,
not
loved
by
everybody
that
works
with
this
man.
I've
got
a
fund
raiser,
he
has
brain
cancer.
Fundraiser
is
on
November
3rd
from
12:00
to
5:00
p.m.
V
V
Melissa
Han
and
her
team
as
well
did
a
great
job
and
it's
my
understanding
that
the
numbers
of
the
trick-or-treaters
were
somewhere
in
the
thousand
to
1200
range.
So
you
know,
and
we've
got
the
space
for
it
in
the
bigger
better
downtown
of
Bloomington.
So
I
was
well
attended
more
to
come.
The
last
item
that
I
was
going
to
talk
about
another
win.
Well,
real
quick.
We
have
some
events
that
are
up
on
the
screen.
A
V
V
Trolls
everybody's
heard
of
the
children's
show
trolls
trolls
live,
is
actually
going
to
take
the
next
couple
of
weeks
and
prepare
for
their
nationwide
tour
and
they're
doing
all
that
preparation
work
with
their
first
show
on
a
couple
of
weeks
or
mid-november
at
the
arena,
but
it's
a
huge
opportunity
for
us
to
show
that
we're
capable
of
helping
hosting
this
kind
of
prep
work
hopefully
gets
out
to
the
the
industry
out
there
that
a
good
starting
point
is
right
here
in
Bloomington.
That's
all
I've
got
mayor
and
council.
Thank.
C
You
very
much
I
just
very
very
quickly
because
obviously,
the
the
time
is
late
and
we
still
have
an
executive
session.
I
just
wanted
to
congratulate
the
clerk's
office
on
winning
the
chili,
cook-off
and
I.
Also
it's
the
first
one
that
I've
missed
I,
had
a
line
of
students
and
I
wasn't
able
to
come,
but
I
had
my
eat
it,
but
I
always
ago,
as
Captain,
America
or
or
Thor.
So
I
have
my
Captain
America
costume
ready,
but
I
was
not
able
to
use
it
I'm.
Some
people
probably
happy
about
that.
C
But
I
do
want
to
thank
councilmember,
Boland
and
councilmember
Enoch
for
dressing
up
as
and
actually
Oh.
Oh,
you
were
Oh
kevie,
oh
yes
for
our
Halloween
trick-or-treat.
It
was
just
amazing
when
I
first
came
to
you,
I
thought
what
the
hell
isn't
genie
doing
your
business
and
then
I
realized.
Oh,
it's
I
thought.
Maybe
you
were
like
giving
away
$100
treats
or
something
given
how
many
people
were
coming
into
your
place,
but
anyway
it
was
just
a
wonderful
time.
C
I
want
to
thank
staff
too
for
all
that
they
did,
and
it
really
did
a
great
and
they
did
a
great
job
when
closed
off
streets.
Nobody
mutated,
nobody
grew
extra
arms.
We
had
a
great
event
that
night
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
regardless
of
whether
or
not
people
agree
or
disagree
with
the
cannabis
taskforce.
I
want
to
thank
them
again
for
their
work
that
has
concluded
and
I
just
wanted
to
I've
seen
in
about
three
weeks.
C
X
Yeah,
thank
you
to
city
staff
and
Downtown
Development
Division
for
the
the
work
they
did
for
the
downtown
trick-or-treating
I.
Think
the
favorites
I
heard
of
the
night
were
the
police
and
fire
departments
requested
to
set
up
next
to
each
other
and
spent
the
entire
evening
photobombing
each
other.
So
everybody
had
a
great
time.
X
The
kids
were
having
an
amazing
time
coming
around
after
that
that
we
did
have
double
the
attendance
that
we
had
last
year,
so
yeah
between
eleven
and
twelve
hundred
and
the
downtown
businesses
are
already
working
on
how
to
make
it
bigger
next
year.
The
next
thing
I
wanted
to
give
another
shout-out
to
the
DC
PA.
Last
week,
I
mentioned
that
beautiful
was
coming
to
the
BC
PA
and
that
did
completely
sellout.
X
There
was
a
waiting
list
of
about
75
people
that
was
still
wanted
to
go,
but
unfortunately
we
can't
put
more
people
in
the
building
past.
A
certain
point,
so
that
was
awesome
wanted
to
also
mention
that
deputy
city
manager,
Billy,
Tyus
and
I,
went
to
Aurora
a
couple
weeks
ago,
and
while
we
were
up
in
talking
to
them
about
some
of
their
smart
city
initiatives
and
what
they're
doing,
we
also
saw
that
her
urban
equities
properties
had
invested
in
and
just
done
a
groundbreaking
for
a
reclaiming,
an
older
building
in
Aurora
as
well.
X
X
V
No
doing
of
ours,
it's
trying
to
coordinate
a
spokesperson
for
that
group
to
come
present.
The
neighborhood
plan
I
think
we're
going
to
have
that
come
at
the
committee
of
the
whole
in
November
make
the
presentation
the
council
is
what
we've
cued
up
and
would
be
an
agenda
item
for
the
last
meeting
in
November
Thank.
O
O
The
philosophy
really
is
to
make
towns
sustainable,
primarily
small
towns,
which
we
would
qualify
for
and
I've
been
following
him
for
several
years
and
I
pretty
much
have
adopted
his
policy
and
I'm
going
to
well.
I
can't
really
push
it
on
the
council,
but
I
will
continue
to
advocate
to
me
because
it's
philosophy,
common
sense
and
it
will
put
the
community
on
solid
financial
footing,
and
that
is
my
goal.
I'm
a
bean-counter
I'm
very,
very,
very
fiscally
responsible
and
he
is.
U
I'm
also
a
fan
of
strong
towns,
as
you
know,
just
by
the
way
I
don't
know
if
anyone
has
listened
to
pod
BN,
which
is
a
local
long
form,
interview
show,
put
on
by
Tyson
Moore
and
Justin
Boyd
and
at
one
point
Tyson
interviewed
Chuck
maroon,
like
in
the
last
year
to
talk
about
bloomington-normal.
The
other
thing
about
them.
That's
great
is
that
his
staff
is
so
they
represent
such
a
diverse
political
point
of
view,
which
is
really
incredible:
I
loved
Halloween,
I
loved
the
dinosaurs.
Do
they
come
from
your
shop
Jamie,
the
walk-in
dinosaurs?
U
But
on
a
very
serious
serious
note,
I
just
I
want
to
say
a
big
thank
you
to
Bob
Mart
of
Community
Development
and
Chris
hazel
and
I
attended
a
walkthrough
of
an
apartment.
Last
week
on
Douglas
and
a
residence
mom
had
had
communicated
the
state
of
this
and
I
got
in
touch
with
community
development
and
was
invited
to
go.
U
I
was
very
impressed
with
the
professionalism
and
care
that
that
Chris
Hazel
took
as
he
walked
through
the
the
building
that
was
also
kind
of
devastated
and
what
poor
shape
it
was
in,
and
it
was
a
good
reminder
to
me
to
just
pay
more
attention
around
my
ward
around
this
community
about
places
where
people
may
not
be
able
to
advocate
for
themselves
and
that
I
just
I'm
pledging
to
to
do
a
better
job
and
I.
Wanted
you
all
to
join
me
in
that.
Thank
you.
T
AD
T
And
then
also
another
fun
thing
that
happened
cm
a
promotion
gave
us
a
bunch
of
whoopie
cushon.
So
we
got
to
explain
to
kids
who
didn't
know
what
whoopee
cushions
were
what
like
what
they
use
them
for.
It
was
awesome,
so
thanks
to
those
folks
for
giving
us
those
the
other
what
this
was
a
big
success
and
love
supporting
the
museum
and
the
work
that
they're
doing
so
want
to
highlight.
One
of
the
events
is
the
opening
of
a
community.
AC
T
Which
maybe
resonates
with
some
of
us
up
here,
November
7th,
is
the
November
9th
is
the
opening
and
one
of
the
people
that
will
be
present.
There
will
be
the
person
who
was
the
recipient
of
our
indigenous
peoples,
Day
proclamation
and
I'm,
not
gonna,
say
more,
but
it's
gonna
be
awesome,
and
so
you
all
should
check
it
out.
W
Kuriboh
Thank
You
mayor
so
I
just
want
to
say:
I
have
a
lot
of
questions
typically
for
these
meetings
and
and
I
always
get
folsom
and
quick
responses
to
my
question.
So
I
don't
think
I
can
thank
Tim
and
Leslie
and
staff
enough
for
what
they
do
so
I
want
to
make
that
known
and
then
I
want
to
ask
and
just
thought
kind
of
occurred
to
me
with
regard
to
connect,
transit
and
the
intergovernmental
agreement.
I
think
we're
supposed
to
be
receiving
monthly
reports.
Are
we
receiving
monthly
reports
I?
V
It's
it's
probably
been
a
couple
of
months,
but
but
I
do
know
that
some
of
our
representatives
are
more
than
willing.
If
we
want
to.
If
we
want
them
to
have
a
placeholder,
let's
say
at
a
committee
to
hold
meeting
at
a
private
provide
an
ongoing
update.
They
would
do
that.
I
know,
Judy,
Buchanan
would
and.
W
V
Do
it
whatever
way
you
want,
I
was
actually
talking
about
a
placeholder,
and
you
know
until
completion.
You
know
at
the
Committee
of
the
Whole
meeting,
an
actual
agenda
item
or
I
could
provide
updates
via
email
to
everybody.
But
given
the
topic,
what
imagine
the
community
is
interested
I
could
do
that
under
my
city
manager,
update,
okay,
I
will
do
that.
I
will
find
a
way
and.
W
And
then
I,
just
a
couple
things
I
didn't
get
to
say
in
the
cannabis
discussion
released.
One
I
know
that
we
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
there
may
be
things
that
we
as
a
city
are
limited
and
regulating,
but
the
state
has
pretty
stringent
regulations
and
they
will
come
down
heavy
on
a
business,
any
type
of
cannabis
business
that
does
not
comply
with
the
statutory
requirements.
W
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
make
that
known
and
then
I'll
just
kind
of
say
this
at
the
end
here
but
and
I'm
guilty
of
this,
sometimes
of
being
overzealous.
Both
I've
done
this,
both
before
I'm
on
council
and
after
and
and
I,
think
that,
while
certain
members
of
the
community
are
very
passionate
about
some
issues,
I
just
don't
know,
and
certainly
they
have
a
right
to
say
whatever
they
want
to
say
and,
however
they
want
to
say
it.
But
but
sometimes
you
know
that
that
can
be
kind
of
counterproductive.
W
C
Well,
actually,
there
there
are
some
limits
that
they
excuse
me
that
the
chair
of
the
meeting
mayor's
can
do
if
they
go
and
I
think
we
were
kind
of
on
that
borderline
people
raised
voices
and
specifically
picking
out
members
of
the
council
I'm
not
going
to
have
them
sit
down
if
they're
they're
criticizing
the
mayor.
But
if
they're
going
after
council
members
and
their
voices
are
raised,
I
think
that
there
that
that
can
be
curtailed,
come
from
the
brain.
AD
I
wanted
to
thank
all
the
math
you
for
calling
out
the
musical
beautiful,
because
I
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
and
I
think
I
bought
one
of
the
very
last
tickets,
but
I
still
had
a
really
good
seat.
It
was
a
really
great
performance
and
I'd
like
to
see
us
replicate
that
more
JTED,
sauce
and
Friends
of
the
BCP,
a
big
shout
out
to
them
and
shout
out
to
Jay
for
a
great
job
in
bringing
in
that
talented
group.
We
just
need
more
because,
obviously
we're
going
to
support
it
as
community.
C
Right,
thank
you
very
much
at
this
point.
We
are
going
to
go
into
executive
session
and
we're
going
to
just
have
a
brief
minute
or
two
as
we're
going
to
make
in
that
transition.
You
are
all
welcome
to
stay
for
our
really
exciting
motion
to
adjourn,
but
we
are
not
going
to
do
anything
public
after
this
and
we're
not
even
going
to
say
the
word
cannabis.
