A
B
D
B
We
start
on
actually
with
a
proclamation
and
is
a
proclamation
declaring
july
twenty
second
2013.
That
would
be
today
to
be
peace
corps
day
and
we're
as
well.
Actually,
I
guess
I
would
need
a
motion
for
to
approve
this
one:
don't
I
before
I
read
it
I,
don't
okay,
just
go
ahead
and
sign
for
the
for
the,
whereas
for
the
third
time
in
less
than
five
years,
illinois
state
university's
program
for
current
and
returning
Peace
Corps
volunteers
has
earned
a
top-ranked
has
earned
a
top-ranking.
B
The
programs
are
located
in
the
Stevenson
center
for
the
community
and
economic
development
and
managed
by
Beverly
buyer
the
center's
associate
director
and
whereas,
since
the
Peace
Corps
was
formed
in
1961
more
than
500
is
you.
Alumni
have
served
as
volunteers
and
more
than
8,000
Illinois
residents
now
have
been
Peace
Corps
volunteers,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
July
22nd
2013
be
designated
Peace
Corps
day
in
the
city
of
Bloomington,
assigning
Terry
rendered
mayor.
Would
you
please
come
forward.
E
It
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
to
alderman,
fazzini
and
the
whole
council
for
this
opportunity
and
this
recognition.
The
students
are
really
extraordinary
people.
They
change
lives
around
the
world
and
here
in
bloomington-normal,
when
they're
here,
so
they
have
a
community
project,
design
and
management
class
in
the
fall.
They
work
with
a
local
organization.
Greentop
grocery
last
fall
united
way.
This
fall
and
then
the
individual
students
do
internships
and
assistantship
here
in
the
community
and
I
have
with
me
just
one
kind
of
given
the
timing
between
semesters.
This
is
Nancy
with
Drago.
E
She
just
finished
her
professional
practice
with
the
city
of
Bloomington,
with
the
fire
department
doing
some
important
work
on
performance
management
data
project,
and
we
have
student,
finishing
east
central
Illinois
area
agency
on
aging
one
starting
at
mid,
Central,
Community,
Action
and
they're.
Just
amazing,
amazing
people.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
this
recognition.
It
means
a
lot
to
all
the
students
alumni
staff
of
the
stevenson
center,
so.
B
B
H
C
C
I
B
G
The
concern
I
have
is
this
is
a
motion
to
increase
from
30,000
to
thirty-eight
thousand
dollars
of
an
expenditure,
and
that's
for
the
total
expenditure.
The
bloomington
portion
of
that
is
somewhere
around
two
thousand
dollars
and
I
counted
53
pages
of
justification
for
a
two-thousand-dollar
increase.
I
I
think
we're
spending
our
time
on
things
that
maybe
the
city
manager
should
have
the
authority
to
approve
on
his
own
and
as
we
do,
our
new
policy
I
believe
we
ought
to
expand
the
city
manager's
authority
to
include
at
least
items
like
this
and
probably
larger
curious.
G
B
H
H
Yes,
it
isn't
only
only
a
two-thousand-dollar
issue
that
we're
talking
about,
but
it's
important
I
think
for
the
people
to
to
bring
this
up
and
talk
about
it.
Just
briefly
so
I
do
agree
in
general,
but
in
in
terms
of
this
particular
item,
I
think
it
does
deserve
a
little
bit
of
our
attention
ultimate.
B
J
Would
just
echo
Alderman's
fuzzy
knees,
comments,
I,
believe
that
we
need
to
set
some
some
type
of
spending
authority
and
am
I
prepared
to
offer
an
amount
of
what
that
is,
but
but
I
think
Rob
makes
a
good
point
and
something
for
us
to
think
about
here,
as
we
as
we
move
forward
the
next
few
months.
So
in.
B
F
K
It's
25,000:
okay,
that's
on
the
furnace
and
commodities,
and
services
predicated
by
staff
is
his
contract
that
his
city
has
already
established
that
cap.
So,
unfortunately,
in
this
case,
council
has
to
approve
a
but
going
forward
in
the
new
proposed
procurement
policy.
I
am
going
to
recommend
that
there'd
be
some
additional
discretion,
given
the
city
manager
for
contract
amendments,
which
could
involve
something
like
this
in
the
future
and.
F
Thank
you,
25,000
on
services
and
professionals
consulting
and
such
understanding.
This
is
a
contract
and
I
was
just
simply
going
to
make
that
point
and
a
change,
a
change
order
in
essence
on
a
contract.
If
I'm,
not
if
I'm,
not
mistaken,
and
frankly,
you
know
it's
a
thirty-six
thousand
or
a
thirty
thousand
dollar
contract.
That's
we're
increasing
I
was
a
big
fan
of
doing
this
in
the
first
place
of
entering
into
this
agreement.
However,
for
me,
I
really
like
to
be
aware
of
changes
like
this
I,
you
know,
otherwise
it
it
would
never.
F
We
would
never
even
be
aware
of
it
and
it
could
be.
You
know
any
large
contract
I
like
to
I
like
to
be
very
much
aware
of
any
change
orders
and
any
contract
changes,
because
it
is
a
big
concern
that
I've
heard
among
constituents
and
citizens
of
wilmington
and
understanding.
You
know
why
and
when
and
how
contracts
are
changed
that
have
already
been
approved
and,
or
you
know,
money
being
spent
is
being
is
being
changed.
So
I'm
really
glad
that
this
is
here.
F
B
L
D
B
Motion
carried,
we
move
right
along
to
the
regular
agenda
item,
7a
your
presentation
on
Fire
Department
apparatuses,
and
we
have
allocated
approximately
10
minutes.
Mostly,
this
is
presentation
for
us
and
we
looks
like
Chief.
Kimberling
is
coming
up
here,
even
as
we
speak
to
talk
about
this
unusual
piece
of
equipment,
yeah
our
IT
departments
on
this,
like
white
on
rice.
Look
at
this
all
right,
they've
got
the
stuff
ready
for
us
chief
Kimberly
go
ahead
or
city
manager.
He'll
did
you
want
to
start
only.
K
To
say
we
thought
it'd
be
helpful
and
informative
for
the
council
before
you
vote
on
the
purchase
of
a
new
platform
truck
just
recap,
and
to
share
with
you
again
some
of
the
significant
apparatuses
a
city
has
uses
both
in
our
line,
frontline
and
reserve.
So
we'll
just
take
a
few
minutes
here
for
the
chief
to
kind
of
update
you
and
share
again.
Where
do
we
deploy
a
lot
of
this
very
expensive
but
very,
very
critical
and
vital
equipment?
The
firefighters
use
every
day
thank.
M
You
very
much
city
manager,
Hales
I,
think
the
the
purposes
conversation
is
just
to
kind
of
give
the
council
a
good
overview
of
what
we
have
in
stations.
What
kind
of
inventory
vehicles
we
have
all
time
it's
going
to
be
a
precursor
into
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
so
with
that
I
will
try
to
go
through
this
fairly
briefly,
and
let
you
know
what
it
is
we
have
in
each
of
our
stations.
First
of
all,
this
is
just
a
matter
for
pages.
We
have
occupied.
A
M
The
first
station
we'll
talk
about
is
a
headquarters
fire
station
at
310
north
lee
street
right
behind
the
pantograph
building
frontline
apparatus
in
this
building.
This
is
a
two
company
and
an
ambulance
station,
meaning
two
companies.
We
have
an
engine
company,
it's
actually
two
engine
companies,
one
ambulance
and
then
our
assistant
chief,
which
is
our
shift
commander.
Their
houses
in
this
building
and
those
are
all
frontline
apparatus
that
run
on
calls
every
day
in
reserve.
M
We
have
an
extra
engine,
an
extra
ambulance
and
what
we
call
utility
one,
which
is
basically
a
backup
to
the
shift
commanders
vehicle
or
to
our
EMS
unit,
which
we'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
later.
When
we
talk
about
station
to
what's
important,
to
realize
about
all
these
backup,
apparatuses
and
I.
Think
most
of
you,
Benton,
familiar
with
some
of
our
call
volume,
is
some
of
the
things
we've
talked
about.
M
We've
had
some
challenges
in
the
department
with
meeting
call
volume
and
I
always
like
to
go
back
to
the
Crocs
and
Street
fire
we
had,
which
has
been
about
six
months
ago.
Now,
during
that
fire
we
had
most
of
the
on-duty
piece
of
apparatus
were
on
it
seen
at
that
call
along
with
two
of
normals
engine
companies.
During
next
time,
we
actually
called
back
the
entire
department
and
we
ran
nine
more
calls
for
service
nine,
more
calls,
including
another
structure,
fire.
M
The
structure,
fire
response
in
our
community
initially
gets
three
companies,
two
engines
in
a
truck
and
then
the
shift
commander.
If
he's
available.
If
that's
a
working
structure,
fire
gets
upgraded,
you
get
an
extra
engine
and
extra
ambulance,
and
that's
that's
how
we
work.
So
you
can
see
that
if
we
go
to
a
fairly
involved
structure
fire,
especially
if
it's
a
multi-family
or
commercial
structure,
we
can
really
rapidly
deplete
the
resources
of
our
community.
M
What
that
means
is,
is
our
callback
personnel
have
to
come
back
in
and
then
staff
available
with
apparatus,
because,
as
you
all
know,
just
because
we
have
a
fire,
doesn't
mean
people
stop
calling
911.
So
that
kind
of
gives
you
an
overview
of
why
we
have
reserved
a
press
in
the
building
plus
whenever
we
do
maintenance
on
the
building
are
on
a
vehicle.
The
biggest
example
I
can
use.
Is
we
change
the
oil
on
the
fire
apparatus?
We
can't
just
go
to
a
jiffy
lube
in
20
minutes
or
less
and
get
it
done.
M
It
takes
most
of
the
day,
so
some
other
piece
of
apparatus
has
to
run
in
its
place.
So
we
have
to
have
ready
reserve
units
for
us
to
put
into
service
out
of
station
number
two.
We
have
engine
two
medic
to
EMS,
one
which
is
our
EMS
supervisor,
and
then
we
do
have
hazmat
one
squad
for
listed
here.
Those
are
frontline
apparatus
that
are
not
staffed.
Those
are,
as
calls
come
in
and
as
needed.
M
If
we
have
a
hazmat
call,
will
transfer
personnel
from
from
the
existing
engine
out
there
to
take
the
hazmat
vehicle
necessary
in
reserving
that
building
we
have
another
engine
and
one
medic
vehicle,
which
is
another
backup
ambulance
station
three
out
on
east
empire.
We
have
our
aerial
ladder
apparatus
truck
three,
its
100-foot
aerial
platform,
we're
going
to
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
later
on
and
we
have
medic
three
witches
named.
Oh
it's
only
two
companies
run
on
that
station.
Right
now
in
reserve.
M
We
have
truck
2,
which
is
a
20-plus
year
old,
midship
mount
platform
which
we
have
pictures
of
them
again
in
the
next
presentation
and
a
backup
ambulance
at
that
station
station
for
sorry
station
for
I'm
Morris
Avenue
has
an
engine
company
and
a
medic
vehicle
out
there,
and
they
have
a
backup
truck
out
of
that
building
and
then
6
station
is
our
crash.
Rescue
response
for
the
airport
and
covers
the
far
east
side
of
our
community.
Has
an
engine
and
one
crash
vehicle
has
a
reserve
of
an
engine
and
another
reserve
crash
vehicle.
M
B
Moving
on
to
the
item,
7b
is
replacement
of
a
fire
department,
100-foot
aerial
platform
truck,
and
we
have
allocated
approximately
10
minutes
to
this
discussion.
And,
coincidentally,
not
coincidentally,
we
have
our
fire
chief
as
you're
able
to
answer
questions
for
us.
Do
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
item
7b,
so
moved
moved
by
alderman
lauer?
Is
there
a
second
second
second,
by
ultimate
stage,
okay,
discussion
or
questions
of
a
fair
chief
chameleon.
H
Market
part
of
this
is
probably
because
I'm
new
and
I
haven't
been
out
for
the
tour
yet,
but
having
worked
in
a
number
of
industries
and
use
large
equipment
in
the
past,
I
know
that
when
a
business
or
you
know
an
entity
goes
out
to
purchase
a
piece
of
equipment,
especially
a
special
use
piece
of
equipment.
Like
this
a
lot
of
times,
we
have
to
have
a
number
of
tools
available
to
us
on
that
piece
of
equipment.
H
I'm,
just
just
to
make
me
clear
so
that
I
understand
what
we're
spending
money
for
and
on
here
is
this
piece
of
equipment
as
I
understand
it
is
not
special
ordered,
and
so
it's
actually
built
either
as
a
demonstrator
or
possibly
for
another
entity
that
didn't
accept,
etc.
We're
getting
a
break
on
the
price
on
the
thing.
H
What
does
that
vehicle
not
have
that
we
would
have
equipped
it
with,
and
what
might
we
be
equipping
it
with
later
on
down
the
road,
in
other
words,
we're
spending
960,000
some
odd
dollars
on
a
1.3
million
dollar
piece
of
equipment
or
more
if
we
had
it
special
ordered?
What
are
we
missing
here?
What
are
we
going
to
continue
to
spend
money
on
to
fully
equip
that
piece
of
equipment.
M
It's
realistically
in
terms
of
equipment,
nothing,
the
backup
apparatus
we
are
in
the
memo
you
read
about
a
selling.
We
will
take
that
equipment
off
of
those
pieces
of
apparatus
and
move
it
such
as
you
know,
scba
or
the
the
self-contained
breathing
apparatus
axes.
Pike,
poles,
ladders,
those
kinds
of
things-
I
think
that
the
difference
is
is
like
you
alluded
to
is
we're
buying
a
demo.
M
M
So
those
are
the
kind
of
things
that,
when
we
spec
out
a
truck,
we
would
have
asked
for
something
different,
but
we're
taking
that
break.
This
is
giving
an
opportunity
to
talk
a
little
bit
about.
You
know
this
piece
of
apparatus.
We
have
a
15
year
old
truck
out
here
at
this
building.
It
is
running
in
service
every
day.
It's
got
a
lot
of
miles
on
it's
a
very
heavy
piece
of
equipment,
we're
already
looking
at
a
couple
maintenance
issues
that
are
coming
up.
M
This
was
an
opportunity
we
had
this
in
the
budget
for
last
year.
You
know
with
everything
else:
it's
a
balancing
act
for
budget,
so
it
was
removed.
We
kind
of
waited
to
see
what
the
financial
picture
of
the
city
was
going
to
be.
When
the
finance
director
came
back
and
said,
you
know
we
in
a
deficit,
are
we
in
a
surplus?
Is
this
an
opportunity,
and
we
also
went
back
and
said?
Okay?
How
can
we
make
this
work
to
be?
M
You
know
fiscally
responsible
for
the
city
and
find
something
that
maybe
saves
us
some
money
and
that's
that's
what
we
did
here.
Is
it
always
the
best
fit?
No,
it's
not
I.
Think
in
this
case,
given
the
piece
of
equipment,
this
piece
of
equipment
is
probably
has
some
upgrades
that
are
guys
would
say
are
better
than
the
truck
they're
driving
now
so
I
think
that's
a
that's
a
fair
trade.
B
C
B
B
You
very
much
thank
you
again.
Motion
approved.
We
move
on
to
item
7c,
solid
waste
program.
Analysis,
final
draft
report,
presentation
we
have
on
this
is
30
minutes,
that's
total
for
question-and-answer.
We
as
a
couple
you've
suggested.
Do
we
really
need
that
much
time?
We
don't
have
to
take
that
much
time,
of
course,
but
that's
the
the
projection
here,
but
this
is
for
our
consideration
and
ultimately,
staff
will
continue
to
refine
this.
B
K
Want
to
thank
Alex
McElroy,
our
assistant
city
manager
and
many
of
the
other
management
staff
and
employees,
Jim
karch
public
works
director
and
many
others
who
have
been
involved
in
working
on
this.
This
particular
project
has
been
all
in-house
there
was.
We
really
tried
to
keep
our
costs
down
but,
as
you
may
recall,
as
Alex
will
show
in
this
PowerPoint
presentation.
K
This
goes
back
a
year
during
a
prior
budget
discussion
and
unfortunately,
there
is
going
to
be
some
policy
issues
for
the
council
to
consider
in
the
future,
hopefully
in
a
couple
of
months
on
future
financing
for
the
solid
waste
services
and
some
of
the
very
expensive
components
of
that.
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
turn
Alex
kind
of
go
through
this
Creek
PowerPoint
presentation,
giving
some
highlights
where
we've
been
where
we
are
and
where
we're
going
with
this
particular
report,
Thanks
Thank,
You
velux.
Thank.
N
You
well,
as
David
said,
this
has
been
a
significant
number
of
staff,
have
contributed
this
report,
not
just
the
staff
that
were
denoted
on
the
cover
of
the
of
the
analysis,
but
also
we
have
a
miscellaneous
texty
varney
in
the
public
works
department
that
did
a
great
job,
contributing
and
I
know
that
Colleen
winterland,
the
public
works
department
also
contribute
a
lot
to
the
report.
So
to
summarize,
the
97
page
document
I
thought
we'd
just
take
it
page
by
page
and
make
a
slide
out
of
it.
So
here's
starting
the
97th
slide,
I'm.
N
N
We
want
to
provide
counsel
with
plenty
of
time
to
reflect
on
all
the
information
and
make
sure
you're
comfortable
with
where
we're
headed
and
what
we're
recommending
so
far
and
also
provide
us
with
some
input
of
what
you
might
want
to
see
in
that
now
final
report,
that's
going
to
be
coming,
and
also
we
in
the
document
you
know
put
a
date
of
august
31st
for
the
final
draft.
If
it's
not
set
in
stone,
that's
just
the
count,
that's
as
a
staff
recommendation
that
you
know
keeping
us
honest
on
a
timeline.
N
So
if
council
feels
as
if
you
need
more
time
and
are
comfortable
that
something
that
certainly
can
be
flexible
so
for
the
benefit
of
all
council-
and
you
know,
especially
some
council
members
that
are
new
and
have
come
on
and
haven't
necessarily
been
privy
to
some
of
the
interim
reports
that
we've-
that
we've
issued
acquis
a
quick
history,
purpose
and
approach.
Obviously
the
purpose
the
deliverable
was
to
provide
counsel
with
comprehensive
analysis
for
future
decision-making.
Let's
do
this.
We
focus
on
five
major
studies.
We
survey
nine
municipalities
sharing
similar
economic
and
demographic
environments.
N
We
provided
a
cost
analysis
on
each
of
the
services
provided
within
the
solid
waste
program.
Delineate
it
within
those
parenthesis
solicited
is
an
input
utilizing.
We
did
a
postal
survey,
we
did
an
online
survey
after
we
had
our
postal
survey
out
for
a
little
while,
and
we
also
held
focus
groups
the
fourth,
we
analyzed
operational
challenges,
issues
such
as
transition
to
automated
collection
and
both
recycle
and
garbage
collection,
and
we
researched
national
trends,
national
trends
and
solid
waste
management,
as
well
as
national
trends
and
landfills.
N
Current
progress,
it's
as
city
manager,
Hills
that
pointed
out,
it's
been
a
year
now,
we've
issued
to
interim
reports
along
with
an
inception
report,
are
we're
now
discussing
our
final
draft
report.
That's
been
shared
with
council
and
our
final
draft
report
is
still
to
come
and
that
report
we
plan
to
have
a
fee
analysis
and
fee
recommendations
and
I'll
talk
again
briefly
at
the
about
that,
at
the
very
end
of
the
presentation,
some
reasons
for
the
study.
Why
why
council
directed
staff
to
look
at
the
solid
waste
program?
N
We
were
continually
needing
to
raise
our
user
fees
to
help
aid
with
the
costs.
We
want
to
provide
fair
and
equitable
costs
from
spartacus
services,
provided
the
city
was
transitioning
to
recycle
and
refuse
collection
services.
We
we
had
already
previously
identified.
The
bulk
waste
was
a
significant
cost
factor
for
the
city.
N
The
city
was
had
transition
in
2011
to
an
Enterprise
Fund
with
a
solid
waste
program,
and
there
were
general
fund
subsidy
levels
that
were
being
discussed,
some
other
some
other
issues
that
were
out
there
that
were
being
considered
environmental
sensibility,
public
expectations
for
efficient
services,
landfill
issues
or
landfills
expected
expire
in
2013.
Our
contract
ended
march
2013.
N
We
sent
to
renew
that
for
one
year
and
landfill,
tipping
fees,
operational
costs
for
the
city
to
provide
these
services
are
continually
to
needing
to
rise,
and
some
of
the
reasons
that
fees
were
needing
to
continue
to
rise,
a
brief
snapshot
on
our
solid
waste
program.
We
have
approximately
twenty-six
thousand
customers.
They
we
provide
weekly
household
curbside
collection.
We
provide
now
bi-weekly
single
stream
recycling
curbside.
We
have
weekly
bulk
waste
collection.
N
We
offer
a
drop-off
recycling
collection,
we
have
a
drop-off
large
item
collection,
which
is
on
East
Street
down
here,
and
we
have
yard
waste
collection,
sticks,
leaves
and
branches
solid
waste
program.
History
just
highlight
of
the
history,
the
best
of
our
knowledge,
the
city's
always
provided
household,
refuse
collection
in
1990,
the
city
began
collecting
recycled
materials
separately
in
2009.
The
city
began
limiting
the
number
of
bulk
loads
prior
to
2009.
It
was
unlimited.
N
What
we
did
was
we
put
a
two
front-end
loader
cap
on
it
and
we
charge
$25
additional
for
each
scoop
for
each
week
in
december,
two
thousand
nine.
We
also
eliminate
the
collection
of
sod
dirt
rock
concrete
and
singles
materials
that
are
typically
generated
by
construction
activities
in
2011.
The
programmer
is
removed
from
the
general
fund
as
freely
mentioned,
and
we
established
an
Enterprise
Fund
in
2012.
We
purchased
for
automated
recycle
trucks
costing
290,000
per
vehicle
in
August
2012.
N
N
Cart
collection
for
our
automated
trash
that'll
be
coming
up
soon
as
well
and,
finally,
in
2013,
the
city
purchased
our
seven
automated
trucks
for
a
total
investment
of
2.13
million
five,
automated
trucks
with
right
side,
arms
costing
295
per
vehicle
and
two
dual
arm
mean
they
can
pick
up
on
both
sides
for
our
one-way
streets,
you're
into
26,000
per
vehicle.
So
our
total
inventory,
we
have
seven
garbage
trucks.
Seven
automated
garbage
trucks
which
the
automated
garbage
trucks
are
expected
to
write
arrive
sometime
in
August,
we'll
head.
N
We
already
have
our
four
recycle
trucks
implemented
running
routes,
but
this
leaves
us
with
an
inventory
without
a
backup
vehicle.
So
we
have
our
11
vehicles,
but
if
one
were
to
go
down
for
operational,
you
know
issues
had
to
go
to
the
shop
right
now.
We
would
not
have
a
backup
and
we
would
have
to
do
a
manual
collection
or
have
our
services
decrease
or
suffer
because
of
that
loss.
N
Some
trends.
These
were
providing
the
first
interim
report,
but
they're
updated
for
this
report
and
our
trend
has
continued
in
the
direction
we
presented
them.
Less
bulk
tons
of
continue
to
decrease
again
some
contributing
factors
of
that
could
be
the
2009
policy
decision
to
reduce
the
number
of
bucket
loads,
as
well
as
eliminating
the
collection
of
free,
the
free
collection
of
sad
dirt
rock
on
Cretan
singles.
We
do
still
collect
it,
but
we
assess
a
fee
and
we
charge
per
weight,
so
it
is
costed
out,
but
that
service
is
still
provided.
N
It's
just
cost
at
what
it
cost
the
city
to
collect
it.
Total
tons
garbage
daily
again
is
beginning
to
decrease.
You
can
notice
in
twenty
twelve
to
twenty
thirteen.
It
has
a
quite
significant
drop
air,
some
contributing
factors
again,
the
city's
recycling
initiative.
We
have
over
seventy
percent
well
right
at
seventy
percent
or
almost
ten
percent
participation
rate
in
our
recycling
program,
which
is
quite
significant.
N
What
this
means
of
the
city
in
2007,
based
on
our
now
tipping
fee,
it
would
have
been
nine
hundred
and
seventeen
thousand
two
hundred
eighty
six
dollars
for
the
amount
of
trash
generated
in
fiscal
year,
2013,
basically
on
total
tonnes
generated,
it
would
be
7,
180
6810.
So
that's
a
costly
130,000
from
2007
to
2013,
based
on
our
current
tipping
fee
again,
recycling
collection
has
continued
to
increase
74.9
eight
percent
and
total
collection
tonnage
from
2007
to
2013.
N
N
It's
significant
savings
from
2007
to
2013,
we've
had
one
hundred
and
twenty
two
percent
increase
in
the
amount
of
recycle
materials
collected,
which
means
the
cost
savings
for
the
city
instead
of
going
to
the
landfill
and
paying
at
Civic
Theatre
city
is
taking
it
to
its
processing
center
and
based
on
the
rates
at
the
time,
may
be
receiving
a
commodity
rate
for
the
material
historical
fees
for
service.
We
start
in
2004
with
a
five
dollar
fee
2008
we
increase
it
two
dollars.
N
N
In
2010
when
the
fee
was
doubled,
the
amount
of
revenue
collected
was
pretty
much
doubled
and
then
in
2013,
when
we
increased
two
dollars,
it's
about
500,000
that
we
were
able
to
collect
from
that
22
dollar
increase
our
general
fund
transfer
to
the
solid
waste
program
you
can
see
in
2011
when
we
first
moved
it
to
an
enterprise.
It
had
a
general
fund
subsidy
of
1.7,
just
over
1.7
million
and
2012
that
was
decreased
to
1.5
million
in
2013.
Again
it
was
reduced
to
1.3
million
and
for
our
2014
budget.
N
We
have
begin
budgeted
for
1.3
million
being
transferred
from
the
general
fund
to
the
solid
waste
program
to
cover
the
costs
of
providing
the
services
within
it.
Some
contributing
factors
to
that
decrease
again.
Our
recycling
program,
the
amount
of
waste
that's
being
diverted
from
the
landfill
is
both
in
bulk
and
regular.
Household
collection
are
being
diverted
now
toward
the
recycling
process
center.
So
that's
a
savings
of
the
city
is
able
to
experience.
N
As
for
a
cost
analysis,
this
was
a
cost
analysis
that
was
provided
for
our
fiscal
year.
2012
cost
analysis
for
labor
investments.
What
you
see
before
you
are
days
invested.
We
have
40
employees
working
solid
waste
program.
These
are
their
days
invested,
so
you
can
kind
of
see
at
the
total
where
we
have
8,000
297.
That
makes
sense
in
that
first
bullet
that
I
have
where
you
have
40
employees
working
average
of
two
hundred
thirteen
days.
That's
how
you
get
about
that
8,000
297,
so
bulk
waste.
N
Obviously
the
outlier
there,
representing
over
sixty
percent
of
the
amount
of
Labor
invested
in
providing
that
service.
What
that
means
in
dollars
the
program
costs
3.4
million
to
provide,
which
is
a
significant
amount.
Given
that
garbage
collection
is
about
1.4
62
million
and
to
put
that
in
perspective
and
all
the
services
provided,
you
can
see
in
that
pipe
for
visual
presentation,
both
ways
again.
A
significant
amounts
snippet
pulled
from
our
postal
survey
about
the
bulk
waste
collection.
N
Almost
forty-eight
percent
of
the
customers
surveyed
said
on
a
typical
monthly
basis.
They
use
a
service
zero
times,
not
to
say
they
never
use
it
throughout.
The
year,
but
they
said
on
a
typical
monthly
basis,
they
use
a
zero
and
of
those
that
shows
respond
on
the
survey
forty-one
percent
said
on
a
typical
monthly
basis.
N
They
use
it
about
one
time
a
month,
so
recommendations
to
dates,
kind
of
highlight
what
staff
has
has
highlighted
as
their
recommendations
to
date
reduce
the
number
of
free
buckets
collected
from
two
to
one
increase
the
charge
of
the
buckets
collected.
Currently,
it's
a
$25
per
bucket,
eliminate
bulk
waste
at
the
city's
drop-off
facility,
again
providing
another
little
snippet,
which
is
one
tool
that
we
have
to
kind
of
give
some
insight
on
citizen,
satisfaction
and
citizen
use
on
these
services
that
we
provide.
This
is
on
a
typical
month.
How
many?
N
180
thousand
containers
are
about
ten
new
new
employees
to
be
able
to
operate
the
vehicles,
so
those
are
some
of
the
struggles
and
challenges
that
we've
tried
to
highlight
and
the
report,
and
in
the
picture
you
can
see.
That's
if
kind
of
imagine
if
that
was
just
you
know,
garbage
collection,
what
if
it
was
recycled
day,
you'd
have
twice
the
amount
of
carts
there.
N
So
that's
those
are
some
of
the
logistical
issues,
so
staff
had
recommended
for
and
under
to
continue
participation
in
the
program
and
5
and
above
we
thought,
maybe
just
too
difficult
to
be
able
to
provide
service.
So
what's
next
again,
our
final
report
is
still
to
come.
We'll
still
welcome
and
encourage
any
more
input
from
counsel,
given
all
the
information
that
we've
provided
to
you
today.
What
we
plan
on
cluding
in
that
report
is
alternative
fee
structures,
with
options
and
scenarios
again
both
waste
bucketload
charges,
variable
costs
for
variable
size,
carts.
N
We
have
65
and
ninety
five
gallon
carts.
You
know
the
decision
will
have
to
be
made
is:
is
the
person
that
uses
the
65
gallon
cart
every
week
and
pay
the
same
that
a
person?
That's
filling
up.
The
95
gallon
cart
pay.
So
those
are
some
decisions
in
the
future
again
how
many
carts,
and
should
there
be
charges
for
additional
carts,
should
we
overly
are
not
overly,
but
should
we
encourage
and
incentivize
recycling
by
not
charging
as
much
for
an
additional
recycle
card
as
we
would
for
a
garbage
cart?
N
So
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
we're
going
to
try
to
highlight
and
give
counsel
some
insight
and
then
provide
them
an
opportunity
to
make
some
of
those
decisions
and
then
future
council
decisions
again.
Your
task
would
be
to
provide
the
level
of
services
provided,
decide
upon
the
fees
for
the
services
that
are
provided
and
the
appropriate
level
of
general
fund
subsidies,
if
it
even
applicable
but
not
97,
slides
I
thought
I
got
well.
B
K
B
K
That
variable
fee
schedule
will,
you
know,
take
into
account
someone
who
only
puts
out
a
65
gallon.
You
know
household
garbage.
We
see
that
they'll
pay
a
you
know,
reduced
rate
because
they're
generating
less
volume,
less
weight
so
anyway,
I
just
wanted
to
finish
up
with
that
and
mayor's
you
and
I
talked.
We
thought
that
maybe
with
this
particular
report,
it
might
make
sense
to
send
this
back
to
the
infrastructure
committee
to
not
only
begin
some
of
this
discussion
and
the
various
policy
options
to
bring
back
later.
K
Together
with
you
know,
we
anticipate
having
the
final
report
together
with
those
final
specific,
as
well
as
options
as
many
as
we
can
see.
So
again,
we
thank
staff
for
their
their
work
on
this
I.
Think
there's
some
very
good
information,
including
you
know.
What
are
the
cities
are
doing
in
the
area
of
solid
waste
collection
that
are
in
some
ways
is
different
from
ours,
especially
both
your
waist
continues
to
be.
K
That's
so
called
Cadillac
service
that
it's
hard
to
find
in
any
municipality
that
has
goes
at,
but
there's
a
lot
of
citizens
support
to
have
that
service
continued
to
be
provided
and
I.
Think
we
see
it
in,
especially
how
clean
our
community
is
kept,
because
people
have
that
ability
put
that
out
every
week,
but
it
comes
at
a
very
significant
cost.
So
thank.
B
You
we
have
about
nine
minutes,
actually,
just
the
30
wasn't
perhaps
as
as
long
as
we
thought,
but
certainly
thank
you
also
alex
and
I'm
sure
on
the
bath
account
cyl.
This
is
very
important.
Thank
you,
professional
with
it.
You
did
it
in
the
kinds
of
information
you
have
here.
You've.
Certainly
given
us
a
lot
to
think
about.
G
Excellent
analysis
not
only
in
depth
but
in
breadth
of
looking
at
everything
else
before
you
just
started
looking
at
us.
So
this
is
a
fine,
a
piece
of
analysis
work
as
I've
seen
in
my
two
years,
so
good
job
Alex,
the
increase
for
having
extra
garbage,
pickup
or
extra
recycled
pick
up,
I.
Think
on
the
surface.
If
you
have
two
of
them,
you
should
pay
twice
as
much,
which
is
what
first
comes
to
mind.
G
If
you
really
do
the
analysis,
we
wouldn't
want
to
do
it
on
a
variable
rate,
but
on
a
total
cost
rate
and
that
you
find
out
I,
think
analysis.
I
did
it's
about
a
ten
percent
difference
by
having
two
instead
of
one,
because
you
have
to
have
the
truck
you
have
to
have
the
person
and
they're
on
the
router
ready,
so
almost
everything
you're
doing
is
going
to
be
there.
G
All
it
means
is
picking
up
one
more
and
that's
a
very
small
difference,
so
whether
it's
a
35-pound
or
a
65-pound
same
thing,
very
little
different,
so
I'd
be
real.
Careful
of
going
on
charging
a
lot
more
for
having
bigger
or
multiple
recycles
and
I.
Ask
a
question
of
Jim
carts
at
one
point:
will
the
fact
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
automated
garbage
give
us
another
opportunity
to
push
up
that
seventy
percent
number
on
recycling
an
opportunity
to
get
to
the
public
and
say
hey
now's,
your
chance?
That's
that's
it!
For
me.
Okay,.
F
F
Looks
like
it
would
have
taken
a
very,
very
long
time
and
I
do
have
a
couple
of
things:
I'll
definitely
keep
it
to
two
minutes
or
try
for
less
the
pay.
Is
you
throw
it's
extremely
encouraging
to
see
the
cost
savings
with
the
recycling
that
has
really
increased?
I
mean
that
to
me
is
huge,
it's
something
that
I
think
well.
This
feels
a
lot
like
talking
about
the
managed
competition.
F
It
feels
like
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
years
and
years
and
for
all
that
time,
I
have
been
talking
by
Ashley,
Morton
Illinois
and
how
they
have
a
page.
You
through
I
know
it's
it's
much
much
different,
but
when
you
incentivize
recycling
it
is
just
amazing
what
the
cost
savings
there
and
to
me
it's
a
huge
win,
win
too,
and
people
if
you
read
it
and
I
did
I
read
all
of
it.
F
Why
wouldn't
we
recycle?
Why?
Wouldn't
we
encourage
recycling
in
every
possible
way?
We
can
because
we
get
paid
for
recycle
and
we
pay
for
landfill.
So
it
concerns
me
that
we're
taking
anyone
out
of
recycle
I
think
we
should
get
as
much
recycles.
We
can't
sell
it
all
profit
from
it
and
let
that
profit
from
recycle
you
know
so
to
speak,
pay
for
landfill
and
so
on,
and
that
is
very
much
supported
in
the
facts
which
I
see
here
in
terms
of
the
increased
recycle
and
the
increased
savings.
Another
thing,
though,.
F
1112
on
11
and
12,
frankly,
I
think
the
demographics,
the
socioeconomic
factors
and
such
and
these
cities
are
very,
very
different.
I
understand
we
always
use
you
know:
springfield,
decatur,
etcetera,
etcetera,
but
to
me
Bloomington
is
Bloomington
and
we're
extremely
unique
privatization
considered
I
see
it's
virtually
no
occur
everywhere,
except
we're
saying
currently
under
consideration
in
Bloomington
and
I
believe
we're
looking
at
a
you
know,
a
situation
that
I
think
has
been
resolved
so
I
don't
think
we're
looking
at
that
I
think
we
are.
J
To
echo
something
that's
already
been
said:
Alex
Jim,
the
other
folks
that
are
listed.
This
is
this,
is
precisely
what
what
I
think
the
console
asked
for
a
year
or
more
ago,
when
we,
when
we
asked
for
you
to
put
this
information
under
our
fingertips,
so
kudos
to
you
for
that.
Just
some
feedback
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
that
that,
with
our
solid
waste
program
we
be,
we
have
started
the
transition
over
the
years
away
from
everybody
paying
the
same
versus
something
that
reflects
a
little
bit
more
of
a
user-centric
fee
structure.
J
It
appears
to
me
that
that
with
recycling
and
refuse,
that's
going
to
still
be
probably
for
the
most
part,
most
most
folks,
paying
the
same
or
approximately
the
same.
The
the
opportunity
I
think
for
for
the
bulk
waste
portion
of
this
is
especially
if
we're
going
to
begin
to
discuss
at
some
point
about
changes
to
the
fee
structure
is
I.
J
Think
it's
really
imperative
that
that
our
residents
are
citizens,
see
that
that
we
are
exercising
some
real
diligence
in
that
space
to
say
the
more
bulk
waste
that
you
generate
and
specifically
the
stuff
you
put
on
the
curb.
Because
again
you
listed
a
number
of
activities
associated
with
bulk
waste.
We
still
would
look
for
citywide
service,
I
think,
but
relative
to
the
to
the
items
that
we
put
out
on
a
curb
with
it,
that
we
see
something
that
it's
a
little
bit
more
user
centric
in
the
charges.
J
For
that,
I
think
that's
really
important
again,
especially
if
we're
going
to
talk
about
it,
justment
stew,
the
fees
going
forward
because
then
our
residence,
I
think,
we'll
be
able
to
better
see
that
we're
trying
to
ask
folks
who
use
this
more
to
pay
more
for
some
part
of
the
solid
waste
service.
But
again
my
congratulations
and
thanks
to
the
staff.
This
is
an
excellent
example
of
completed
staff
work.
You.
L
Thank
you
not
going
to
take
too
much
time,
but
I'll
echo
what
everybody
has
said.
Thank
you
Alex
for
a
very
good
report.
This
is
exactly
what
we
had
been
asking
for
in
the
past,
at
least
so
that
we
can
make
decisions
not
just
to
increase
things
as
a
matter
of
fact,
but
based
on
some
solid
information.
A
couple
of
things
that
I
noted
in
here
is
that
it
seems
like
there
were
in
terms
of
public
input.
There
were
some
pockets
of
people
who
participated
actively
and
I.
L
Think
you
reference
something
about
age
in
the
report
as
well
and
and
so
I
I
hope,
like
with
many
of
these
things,
when
we
do
come
to
the
point
where
we
have
to
make
some
decisions
and
people
have
to
face
those
decisions.
At
some
point,
people
will
decide
that
they
want
to
be
involved
when
they
see
a
an
increase.
L
A
possible
increase
reported
in
the
newspaper,
so
I
hope
it
will
continue
the
the
pattern
of
public
information
as
much
as
possible
so
that
you
know
people
have
a
at
least
an
opportunity
to
consider
the
facts
before
we.
It
comes
to
Louisville.
Eventually,
the
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
mention
to
I
know
that
others
we
use
the
program
more
heavily,
especially
in
terms
of
household
garbage,
could
come
from
larger
families.
You
know
that
is
also
something
to
consider.
L
So
I
hope
I
do
understand
you
produce
more
garbage
when
you
have
a
larger
family,
but
at
the
same
time
I
hope
that
we
we
have
something
that
does
not
necessarily
penalize
those
people
for
simply
having
a
larger
family.
You
know
so,
and
I
have
a
large
one
myself,
so
I'm
not
speaking
for
myself,
but
I
want
to
think
about
others.
You
know
for
me,
it's
okay.
I
mean
I
be
fine,
but
I
think
there
are
others
who
may
not
be
as
fortunate
as
I
am
to
be
in
that
position.
So,
but.
O
You
mr.
mayor
Alex,
great
job,
this
is
fantastic.
I
echo
everybody's
comments
across
the
board
and
how
thorough
and
thoughtful
and
just
the
critical
analysis
is
very
helpful
from
a
council
members
perspective,
and
I
also
like
to
that.
We
got
it
up
on
the
website.
We
have
it
in
the
agenda
here
I
mean
something
that
is
easily
accessible
information.
This
is
what
we
should
be
striving
for
more
across
the
board.
I
just
have
a
comment,
and
then
I
guess
a
question.
O
My
comment
would
be
that
definitely
going
some
of
the
things
altima
Huawei's
noted
you
know.
For
some,
we
need
to
be
continuing
focus
on
people
who
don't
have
families
who
live
in
apartment
buildings.
We
have
a
large
college
population,
I
think
it's
incumbent
upon
the
city
to
be
aggressive
in
making
sure
that
apartment
buildings
have
recycling
services,
not
because
the
stereotypes
with
college
students,
but
they
do
produce
a
lot
of
easily
recyclable
materials,
and
I
can
say
that
you
know
sing
a
number
move
out
days
and
move
in
days.
O
B
O
B
I
think
the
process
as
I
understood
it.
It
would
be
to
process
this
information
and
these
are
the
people.
You
know
the
three
members
of
that
committee
who
are
going
to
have
something
greater
degree
of
specialization
than
the
rest
of
us
and
they'll
in
a
perhaps
more
efficient
route,
be
able
to
come
up
with
some
recommendations
to
bring
back
to
us
as
elected
officials.
So,
in
other
words
it's
after
our
a
point.
You
know
our
staff
have
worked
on
this.
Our
elected
officials
get
a
take
on
it
and
say
what
do
we?
B
What
do
we
believe,
and
especially
if
it's
you
know,
if
it's
unanimous,
that's
perhaps
different
than
it
was
a
divided
committing.
I
mean
thats
Sarah
types
of
things
we
see
in
other
boards
and
commissions,
but
obviously
it's
us.
It's
our
colleagues,
our
elected
officials
who
are
producing
this
document
so
much
like
you'd,
see
on
the
county
board.
Sure.
O
B
Do
I
go
in
one
end,
the
matter
would
we
want
to.
Maybe
if
we
could
could
we
make
it
if
I
just
give
us
a
little
bit
of
a
room
to
breathe
here?
If
we
could
just
have
a
motion
to
send
it
back
to
committee,
you
know
with
the
prompt
response:
I
mean
I,
like
timetables.
You
know
that.
But
in
this
case
maybe
we
date.
B
B
K
Want
to
say,
though,
there
will
probably
a
several
different,
you
know,
recommendations
making
their
way
back.
One
of
the
first
will
be
the
fee
schedule
we'd
like
to
recommend
the
council
adopt
that
prior
to
implementation,
the
household
refuge,
but
some
of
the
others
could
come
within
the
next
30
to
45
days.
K
So
I,
as
the
mayor
said,
I
think
we
want
to
bring
those
each
portion
or
collectively
just
as
soon
as
we
can,
but
we
do
have
just
a
little
bit
more
final
analysis,
but
definitely
the
infrastructure
committee
in
their
August
meeting
can
begin
that
process
and
dealing
with
as
many
as
are
comfortable
with
that
month
and
but
more
than
likely
they'll
need
another
meeting
or
two
to
finalize
all
aspects
of
this
program.
So.
O
C
O
B
I
Only
comment
this
applies
to
all
their
work
that
we
passed
around
back
and
forth
to
each
other
in
all
the
committee's
right
now.
Does
anybody
know
what's
on
the
agenda
for
the
infrastructure
committee
next
week
or
next
month,
I
mean
what
do
we
have
on
the
plate
already?
This
is
important
to
move
forward,
but
we
got
to
be
careful
when
we
bounce
things
back
and
forth
that
that's
not
the
only
thing
going
on
any
respective
committees,
so
low
sensitivity,
I
think
to
staff
preparation.
We've
been
at
this
a
long
time.
I
D
B
K
Just
like
to
repeat
a
you
know
what
showed
up
in
press
release
for
the
city,
and
that
is
our
US
cellular
coliseum
under
management
mice.
I
am
ended,
the
past
fiscal
year
with
the
highest
operating
profit
and
again
this
is
an
unaudited
profit,
but
we
provided
that.
I
think
it
was
around
170,000.
But
furthermore,
since
the
coliseum,
open
based
on
the
formula
used
by
the
convention
and
visitors,
bureau
and
others
called
CM
has
generated
a
98
million
dollar
local
economic
impact,
and
that
has
done
a
lot
of
good
to
helping
our
downtown
businesses.
K
So
there
was
just
some
very
positive
news,
together
with
some
of
the
high
ratings,
so
I
think
it's
just
another
indication
of
continued
progress
and
improvement,
and
not
only
the
financial
aspect
of
the
operations
of
the
Coliseum.
But
how
continues
to
add
to
our
overall
local
economy
other
than
that
mayor?
I
have
nothing
else
for
you
just.
B
All
so
we
just
in
terms
of
good
news
and
that
bloomington's
on
the
move,
we
were
rated
the
11th
fastest-growing
cities
economy
in
the
United
States
I
forgot
by
who,
but
we
were
rated
11th
so
I
want
to.
Let
us
know
we're
on
the
move.
I'll
have
more
of
that
information.
I've
got
all
kinds
of
stuff
to
to
champion
next
month.
What
I
also
want
to
do
is
to
once
again
recognize
our
distinguished
state
representative
Keith
summer.
He
attended
our
township
meeting.
Welcome.
B
We
really
appreciate
it
and
very
happy
that
you're
here
and
are
concerned
about
our
city
and
our
current.
You
know
situations.
Thank
you
and
you're
always
welcome.
Although
will
understand,
if
you're
not
always
here,
thanks
again
moving
right
along
I
just
want
to
give
a
regular
update
on
the
open
house,
we
had
a
comparatively
small
number
of
people,
but
I
think
still
robust
discussion
I
around
a
dozen
or
so
on
that
counting
staff
and
myself
I'd
have
been
a
little
more.
B
We
did
have
Rachel
Wells
join
us
to
from
the
pantograph
and
I
think
we
had
wide-ranging
discussions.
We,
the
two
I,
think
that
that
hit
most
actually
were
some
of
the
things
that
we
have
on
our
plate:
fixing
streets,
infrastructure,
the
bond
issue
and,
of
course,
the
downtown
plan,
and
we
had
I
think
not.
B
Everybody
agreed,
but
we
had
very
thoughtful
civilized
discussion,
respectful
discussion,
respectful
of
staff,
which
is
also
import
as
well,
and
we
had
actually
quite
a
few
staff
present
as
I
recall
and
I
appreciate
that
barb
I
think
Alex
was
there
and
our
city
manager
I
very
much
appreciate
it
and
for
racial
for
coming
and
covering
it
for
the
media.
Beyond
that,
the
main
thing
I
want
to
do
is
to
give
some
congratulations
tonight
for
accommodations.
B
First
of
all,
or
thank
you
first
of
all,
thank
you
to
rob
fazzini
Alden
fazzini
for
handling
a
ribbon-cutting
this
week
and
he's
going
to
be
handling
some
more
as
well
as
all
the
woman
Schmidt
coming
forward.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
past
present
and
future,
actually,
the
the
one
that
we
did
the
other
day
we
started
in
a
meeting
that
Rob
was
in,
he
went
and
did
the
ribbon
cutting
and
we
were
still
going
and
he
came
back
and
finished
the
meeting.
So
that
was
definitely
above
and
beyond
the
call
of
duty.
B
B
So
I
appreciate
to
all
of
you
who
are
filming
in
you
know
in
the
upcoming
few
days,
I
want
to
thank
also
alderman
sage
and
ultimate
Schmidt
for
their
great
work
in
helping
me
understand
and
move
forward
with
a
proposal
series
of
proposals
to
perhaps
change
some
of
our
board
and
Commission
terms
appointment
procedures.
Yet
it
was
very,
very,
very
helpful
and
at
this
point
I'm
the
one
who
needs
to
get
his
act
together
to
get
the
stuff
back
to
clear
it.
B
With
them
and
then
we're
going
to
send
it
to
legal,
but
thank
you
ultimate
stage.
Thank
you
all
smit
and
I
think
this
is
really
really
critical,
as
we
you
know,
move
forward
to
try
to
make
our
our
boards
and
commissions
accountable,
but
fair,
balanced
experience,
institutional
knowledge
with
new
blood
and
so
I'm
really
confident.
We
had
extremely
productive
conversations.
So
more.
B
It's
not
done
yet,
but
it
seems
like
we're
at
the
light
lightest
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
and
finally,
last
but
not
least,
all
the
man
throwing
you
have
the
best
billboards
in
town,
so
I
just
want
to
say
you
you're,
going
to
have
name
recognition
that
Keith
summer
and
the
mayor
and
all
of
us
are
going
to
be
envious
of
but
and
your
cell
phone
is
now
the
worst
keep
kept
secret
in
McLean
County.
But
hopefully
you
know
this.
F
F
The
YMCA
proposal
coming
to
us
as
a
formal
proposal,
whereas
the
school
system
now
I
understand,
connect
transit,
may
have
a
request
so
I'm
trying
to
get
my
my
hands
around
I
think
we
need
to
understand
where
these
are
and
how
we're
going
to
vet
them
and
what
the
timetable
is
and
when
we
get
to
ask
all
of
their
really
important
questions
that
I
think
we
all
have
about
these
as
a
body
and
not
just
as
individuals.
Talking
with
us
one
one-on-one,
so
big
questions,
nice.
K
Let
me
just
briefly
mention:
I
have
not
received
a
request
verbally
or
in
writing
for
the
individuals
who
were
advocating
for
the
soccer
complex
and
YMCA
to
come
and
address
the
council
formally
now.
Maybe
the
mayor
might
have
some
additional
information
on
that.
Furthermore,
I
I
do
have
a
meeting
coming
up
with
the
general
manager
of
the
transit
and
their
chair,
woman
I
think
they're
going
to
be
providing
some
information,
but
I
haven't
received
any
as
of
yet
so
that's
kind
of
what
I
know
so
far
and.
K
That
that
appears
to
be
moving
ahead.
I
think
everything
I've
heard
from
the
school
superintendent
say
in
10.
If
the
county
board
McClain
County
Board
passes
an
appropriate
as
I
understand
and
resolution,
or
something
that
particular
sales
tax
increase,
question
would
be
placed
on
next
year's.
I
believe
it's
april
ballot
marsh
is
a
Margaret,
O'connor,
garsh
ballot.
So
to
my
knowledge,
that
would
not
require
any
action
by
the
City
Council's,
it's
more
action
by
the
county
board,
but
that's
I
believe
we've
kind
of
been
waiting
for
them
to
kind
of
issue.
B
And
my
understanding
is
exactly
the
same
as
the
city
managers
that
the
the
school
systems
are
moving
forward,
that's
happening
and
that,
although
I
have
met
twice,
including
once
with
Chris
Koos
on
the
people
advocating
the
soccer
complex,
it
there's
not
really
a
proposal
yet
and
of
course
again
we'll
we'll
begin
to
see
that
if
a
proposal
emerges
and
then
there
are
all
kinds
of
issues
and
concerns,
I'm
sure
that
will
raise
at
that
point.
I
believe
next
I
have
all
the
woman's
turns
and
then
all
demand
fazzini
thanks.
F
F
Everybody
should
absolutely-
and
I
also
want
to
mention
first
I-
guess:
I
Oh
David
an
apology
in
a
way
because
I
didn't
read
my
email
carefully
enough.
I
saw
that
the
bids
were
in
and
I.
You
know.
I
was
like
okay
good.
The
bid,
German
and
frankly
I
expected
this
to
come
through
council
and
not
to
fly
under
the
radar,
because
it's
under
the
your
allotted
amount,
so
you
can
just
approve
it.
F
Many
years
ago,
although
an
Terry
admins
is
certainly
one
of
them,
but
he
was
not
on
the
original
committee,
his
name's,
not
on
the
monument,
but
he's
you
know,
he's
wonderful
to
have
involved
anyway.
I
wondered
mayor
in
her
if
I
could
maybe
sit
down
with
you
and
with
David
and
understand
what
this
painting
of
the
names
is
going
to
look
like
I
just
wanted
to
would
that
work.
I'll.
F
F
K
F
But
not
my
very
good
view
of
the
Oviatt
one,
and
that's
fine
I
mean
that
wasn't
expected
what
I'm
saying
at
this
point,
I'd
like
to
be
aware
of
how
that
process
is
going
to
work,
bring
these
other
groups
in,
as
well
as
the
groups
that
city's
been
in
touch
with
and
make
it
all
happen,
absolutely
okay.
Thank
you
ultimate.
G
Because
of
the
newness
of
the
leadership
in
the
township
pass
mayor,
appointed
alderman,
Schmidt,
no
long
way,
myself
to
be
a
transition
committee,
and
so
far
things
have
been
going
very
well
and
I'd
like
to,
on
behalf
of
all
three
of
us
thank
barb
Atkins
for
helping
with
the
intergovernmental
agreement.
That's
in
process
for
IT
and
I
think
that's
going
to
help
both
government
entities,
we're
always
looking
for
ways
for
intergovernmental
cooperation,
and
it's
especially
nice
when
we're
so
close
to
this
one.
G
So
Thank,
You,
Barbara
I,
appreciate
that
on
the
soccer
complex
and
the
quarter
percent
sales
tax
increase,
there
been
so
many
emails,
I'm
not
sure
I
got
them
all,
but
there's
a
lot
of
confusion
as
to
whether
or
not
individual
alderman
ought
to
be
meeting
with
people
to
talk
about
a
proposal
to
increase
sales
tax.
When
there
is
no
proposal
and
there's
confusion
on
all
of
our
parts,
I
think
as
to
should
we
even
be
meeting
with
these
people
until
they
actually
make
a
proposal
and
I.
G
B
They
want
to
the
to
change
our
you
know,
making
a
Bloomington
flag,
they
want
to.
You
know,
make
the
TG
fly
or
insect.
You
know,
I
mean
you
could
meet
with
anybody,
but
I
at
that
point
that
there's
a
proven.
You
need
to
have
proposal
right.
Yeah
I
meet
with
everybody
pretty
much
thick
and
nobody
has
said
they
wanted
to
make
the
TG
fire
our
city.
G
B
I
I
would
never
try
to
suggest
anything
to
the
contrary.
Anyway,
okay
I'm
gonna
be
in
trouble
for
another
week
after
this
david
did,
you
have
your
light
on.
Did
you
have
any
last
words?
Okay,.
B
O
The
point,
given
the
amount
of
public
input
that
we've
gotten
thus
far
regarding
the
soccer
complex
and
it's
overwhelming,
I
would
say,
between
10
and
12
emails
a
day,
isn't
reasonable.
I
mean
we
see
at
the
City
Council
level,
city,
council,
city,
Bloomberg,
that
we
be
we
whenever
the
proposal
comes,
if
it
were
to
come,
make
sure
that
we
publicize
that
in
a
more
aggressive
way
than
we
typically
would
otherwise
just
so.
We
because
I'm,
seeing
as
a
thread
and
ultimately
alluded
to
where
there's
some
misinformation,
some
misunderstanding
as
to
how
the
process
works.
B
H
H
B
You
and
just
just
as
FYI
I,
don't
think
that
there's
any
question
but
that
the
current
facility
of
the
Y
is
inadequate,
but
there
are
any
number
of
other
things
that
we
might
be
able
to
do
in
not
just
private,
by
name
even
public,
to
leverage
things
if
there's,
if
they
have
another
location
that
the
council
may
or
may
not
be
supportive
of,
but
there
are
other.
There
are
other
public
options
too,
rather
than
a
sales
tax.
