Thank
you
very
much
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
start
with
recognitions
and
appointment
and
madam
clerk
do
you
have
the
actual
proper
physical
proclamation
for
Lucy,
Sanchez,
ok,
well,
I
know
she's
in
the
audience
and
she
can
come
forward
and
I
can
read
the
plot
Proclamation
and
we
will
be
sure
to
get
it
to
her
Lucy.
Would
you
please
come
forward?
Thank
you.
A
Yeah
once
you
come
on
up
yes,
of
course,
no,
this
is
your
public
body.
Thank
you.
Nice
tie
especially
be
give
me
your
tie.
You
can
come
up
proclamation
recognition
of
Lucy
Sanchez,
whereas
we
are
here
to
celebrate
the
recent
achievements
of
Lucy
Sanchez,
a
2017
graduating
senior
from
Illinois
Wesleyan
University,
and
whereas
in
the
senior
juried
student
art
exhibitions,
one
of
Lucy's
works
was
awarded.
A
A
So
much
and
actually
the
day,
a
week
ago
today,
Lucy
and
I
had
had
lunch
in
honor
of
this
and
that
morning
I
didn't
realize
Greg
Shaw
and
our
department
and
had
come
in
and
had
your
painting,
and
he
was
he
and
I
were
trying
to
stretch
it
on
to
a
canvas
or
a
wooden
structure
that
he
made.
But
anyway
it
was
absolutely
beautiful
and
people
walking
by
I
thought
that
it
was
extremely
talented,
Thank,
You
Lucy.
A
B
B
A
A
A
Reappointment
of
Loretta
Delgado
to
the
cultural
district,
Commission
Loretta
she's,
not
here,
okay,
then
we
have
reappointment
of
Thom
Weiland,
the
fire
and
police.
Commissioner
I
don't
see
Tom,
and
then
we
have
reappointment
of
nicole
CLE
Vick
and
Ryan's
screwed
slow
to
the
Planning
Commission.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
at
this
point,
we
have
public
comment
listed,
but
in
something
that
has
got
to
be
four
or
five
standard
deviations,
if
not
more
from
the
mean
we
have
nobody
who
wants
to
address
us
at
public
comment.
That's
why
I
fell
over
here,
simulating
a
heart
attack.
Okay,
now
we're
going
to
move
on
to
our
consent
agenda.
Are
there
any
items
that
anyone
would
like
to
have
remove
from
the
consent
agenda
anyway,
and.
D
A
A
A
A
A
B
H
I
I
could
address
that.
We
don't
know
whether
they'll
be
there
or
not,
but
they
were
outside
of
the
area
and
there
had
been
some
complaint
about
that
from
WG
LT.
But
in
talking
with
both
our
code
enforcement
officers
in
the
police
officer,
they
had
every
right
to
be
there
and
they
had
the
appropriate
permits.
I
H
F
Mayor
was
I,
went
back
then
I
probably
missed
it.
Did
this
come
before
the
Liquor
Commission,
okay,
I
missed
it
usually
there's
a
mention
in
though
there's.
A
A
Not
for
sick
amusement
with
anyway
I'm
going
to
call
the
public
hearing
to
order
on
the
annexation
agreement
by
Vale
Church
for
approximately
thirty
six
point,
one
three
acres
south
of
Ireland,
Grove,
Road,
east
of
Brook
stone
circle,
and
we
have
a
brief
presentation
and
this
actually
just
so
that
the
audience
understands.
We
will
take
public
comment
if
you're
interested
in
commenting
on
item
8a,
that
is
this
public
hearing
of
annexation.
A
Agreement
for
Vale
Church,
the
items
on
the
regular
agenda
items,
nine,
a
nine
B
and
nine
C
are
all
in
line
with
this
and
I
think
as
I
understand.
We're
really
wrapping
all
of
your
presentations
into
this
one
right
now.
Tom
is
that
right.
I
would
appreciate
doing
that.
Okay,
we
would
initially
by
expeditious
as
possible,
yeah
hit.
It
Tom
appreciate.
J
That
very
much
mayor
and
council,
this
is
several
items.
Yes,
the
annexation
annexation
agreement
rezoning
to
s2,
which
is
public
lands
and
institutions
for
the
property
that's
shown
in
yellow
outlined
in
yellow.
First,
is
the
public
hearing
submitted
by
Vale
Church
for
approximately
thirty
six
acres,
south
of
Ireland,
Grove
and
east
of
Brook
stone
circle.
You.
J
Was
mentioned,
we've
got
several
items
and
I
am
rolling
them
all
together,
so
I
might
jump
around
just
a
little
bit
for
the
record
want
to
state
this
clearly
that
all
the
required
notices
were
mailed
out,
the
legal
ads
were
were
published,
so
everything
is
in
good
shape.
There
Planning
Commission
also
heard
this
case
on
April
26,
and
everything
was
in
order.
There,
too
just
wanted
to
get
that
on
the
record
villagers.
A
J
So
village
church
has
acquired
this
land.
They
currently
are
located
on
Morrissey
Drive
and
have
an
average
attendance
of
about
400
people
at
two
gatherings
weekly.
They
are
looking
for
a
new
facility
that
will
allow
them
to
serve
their
1,600
members,
there's
just
a
little
bit
of
a
close-up
of
the
area
that
we're
looking
at.
You
can
see
the
residence
hall
that's
to
the
west
and
to
the
north
vacant.
It's
currently
a
vacant
property
to
the
east
is
also
vacant.
J
J
This
is
a
fairly
diagrammatic
explanation
of
the
site
plan.
There's
an
entrance,
that's
planned
in
phase
one
for
Bell
belly
across
from
Ballyshannon
Drive
phase.
One
is
largely
just
the
sanctuary
in
the
parking
and
some
childcare
for,
while
they're
in
place
or
while
services
are
going
on
phase
two
would
be
an
expansion
of
the
same
set
of
uses,
there's
a
property
to
the
south,
we're
asking
that
they
reserved
this
some
kind
of
stretch
of
of
area
so
that
we
can
assure
access.
J
There
are
utilities
on
the
southern
end
of
that
property,
as
well
as
a
future
extension
of
Constitution
trail.
They
have
no
plans
for
that
property
right
now.
They
do
own
it,
but
there's
nothing.
Nothing
planned
in
terms
of
their
phasing
of
the
development
detention
is
at
the
north
end
that
is
required.
The
annexation
agreement
establishes
deadlines
for
the
developers
obligation
to
do
things
like
construct
a
sidewalk
along
the
north
side
of
property
along
Ireland
Grove
Road.
There
is
a
dormant
and
we've
been
doing
this
with
all
of
these
lately.
J
There's
a
dormant
special
services
area
also
proposed
to
be
over
the
property.
It's
part
of
the
annexation
agreement
to
provide
for
these
on-site
kinds
of
public
improvements.
Should
they
not
be
carried
out
and
we
can
institute
special
service
area,
collect
the
money
and
pay
for
the
for
the
city
to
do
it.
The
it
is.
There
are
links
to
the
Comprehensive
Plan
here
that
is
a
colored
site
plan
kind
of
roughly
drawn
site
plan.
J
There
are
links
to
the
Comprehensive
Plan
in
terms
of
creating
opportunities
for
social
engagement,
interaction,
strengthening
in
social
networks,
which
is
really
the
role
of
one
of
the
roles
of
the
churches.
It's
also
a
Tier
two
infill
development
priority.
The
land
is
contiguous
to
the
city
immediately.
Contiguous
and
utilities
are
also
available
on-site
with
that
be
happy
to
try
to
answer
any
questions
again.
This,
oh
by
the
way
the
Planning
Commission
met
April,
26
and
voted
so
nothing
I.
Just.
J
A
Right
at
this
point,
questions
all
right
if
you'll
have
a
seat:
okay,.
L
Yeah,
so
the
existing
church
doing
have
any
idea
or
plans
what's
going
to
happen
with
that
facility
once
they
move
I
mean.
Does
that
even
been
talked
about
at
all,
yeah
I'm,
just
curious
and.
L
A
If
you'll
have
a
seat
just
in
case
that
some
people
have
questions,
is
there
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
at
the
public
hearing?
You
would
have
up
to
three
minutes
on
this:
okay,
seeing
none
any
other
comments,
I'm
going
to
declare
the
public
hearing
closed
and
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
our
regular
agenda
and
in
discussions
with
mr.
A
Jergens
he
did
say
as
long
as
there
was
no
objection,
we
could
handle
items
9
a
B
and
C
as
part
of
one
motion,
because
what
it
wouldn't
probably
make
much
logical
sense
to
vote
one
and
not
the
other.
Does
anyone
have
any
objections
to
considering
item
9,
a
B
and
C
together?
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
items?
9
a
B
and
C
somewhere.
M
A
A
The
motion
carries
9
to
0.
There
are
no
names
to
announce.
Madam
clerk.
We
move
right
along
to
item
9
D
consideration
of
an
ordinance
amending
chapters,
2
&
29
of
the
Bloomington
Municipal
Code
for
a
Transportation
Committee
tack,
and
we
have
a
brief
presentation
by
Geoff,
Jenkins
and
I'm
sure.
All
the
woman
Fergus
is
about
ready
to
sing.
I
have
overcome.
N
I
will
not
be
singing
tonight.
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
couple
of
the
quick
changes
from
the
last
time
we
presented
this
first,
the
effective
date.
We
have
added
any
heard
that
this
would
be
effective.
The
Commission
wouldn't
be
in
place
upon
their
appointment.
So
until
that
time
we
would
continue
to
operate
kind
of
under
the
old
system.
If
there
needed
to
be
approving
ten
tissa
pate,
it
would
take
a
long
time
to
make
those
appointments.
We
did
want
to
make
that
clarification
under
Section
300.
N
N
So
we
kind
of
added
advising
in
there
it's
in
the
ordinance
a
couple
other
times,
but
just
again
to
make
sure
that
the
role
is
clear
and
here
on
under
Section
301,
for
there
was
a
question
or
comments
at
the
last
meeting
about
whether
or
not
the
chairman
of
the
Commission
should
be
able
to
add
agenda
items,
and
we
did
remove
that
from
this.
So
now
it
is
is
just
essentially
staff
and
the
elected
officials
that
would
have
a
process
to
add
things.
N
N
We
added
under
Section
304
three
that
the
they
can
make
recommendations
on
complaints
that
are
received
again,
just
adding
that
in
there
for
clarification
purposes
and
then,
finally,
in
section
305,
as
we
added
in
there
that
the
as
to
the
staff
that
would
be
designated
that
the
city
manager
would
designate
that
staff
based
on
the
issue
before
the
Transportation
Commission,
but
we
specify
that
that
could
include
but
not
be
limited
to
community
development.
Economic
development.
N
K
Them
sage,
thank
you,
so
Jeff
I
want
to
I
want
to
clarify
a
little
bit
further
on
301
number
four,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
the
phrasing
there
that
says,
but
not
limited
to.
So
there
are
a
number
of
staff
positions
outlined
there,
and
it
also
includes
the
mayor
and
city
council
members
may
request
when
it
says,
but
but
not
limited
to
what
what
is
is.
What
is
the
significance
of
that?
Are
there
other
other
positions
or
other
roles
that,
besides
those
that
are
enumerated
there,
that
could
submit
agenda
items.
K
I'm,
just
asking
no
I.
K
My
concern
is:
is
that
to
this
point
we
have
used
a
a
staff
driven
approach
to
things
that
would
come
to
boards
and
commissions
and
and
I
know
that
there
was
a
comment
made
that
the
the
cultural
district
may
do
some
things
differently,
but
but
I
guess
I
want
to
be
sure.
I
understand
that
with
something
related
to
public
safety,
why
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
understand
the
rationale
for
the
access
point
not
not
being
coming
through
professional
staff
first,
as
opposed
to
first
coming
to
the
Commission
I
mean
that
to
me.
K
That's
almost
analogous
of
the
Planning
Commission
you
would.
An
annexation
agreement
would
come
to
the
Planning
Commission
before
it
was
reviewed
by
staff,
so
it
maybe
help-
maybe
maybe
I'm
misunderstanding
or
misinterpreting
that
so
I
want
to
be
sure
that
I'm
I'm
clear
on
that
there
would
be
no
staff
touch
points.
Initially.
This
would
come
to
the
to
the
to
the
traffic
Advisory
Commission
and.
N
I'm
not
sure,
that's
what
that
intends
I
think
I
think
the
intention
there
is
that
before
there's
a
policy
decision
on
something
like
that,
it'll
come
first
before
the
Commission
and
then
go
to
the
council,
but
I'm
not
sure,
that's
to
say
that
there
wouldn't
be
staff
people
who
are
working
with
the
with
the
Commission.
That
would
would
be
involved
as
something
gets
filed.
K
And
again,
this
is
this
is
a
matter
for
me.
It's
a
matter
of
Public,
Safety
and,
and
so
I
want
to
just
be
sure,
I
understand
the
process
here,
because
I've
made
assumptions
on
some
other
times
when
I
should
have
been
more
clear
in
my
questioning
and
understanding.
That's
what
that's
what
I'm
going
to
do
here
now
so
so
this
is
the
ordinance
right.
K
So
we
need
some
clarity
around
what
the
process
is
going
to
be,
and
so,
if
the
process
is
that
the
entry
point,
the
access
point
will
be
the
Commission
and
then
really
clearly
see
here
what
you
know
what
the
process
is
that
suggests
to
me
that
it
there's
no
touch
point
with
staff.
First,
no,
no
review
nothing
else
as
there
would
be.
You
say
for
it
with
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals
or
the
Planning
Commission
or
any
of
our
other
boards
and
commissions
and
I.
N
I
E
And
I
think
I
think
that
if
you
look
at
the
ordinance
on
the
whole
would
the
goal
here
is
to
create
something
similar
to
zoning
or
planning
where
it
goes
to
staff.
First,
there's
an
application
or
a
process
to
get
it
on
the
agenda
and
and
then
it
goes
to
that
Commission,
along
with
a
recommendation
of
staff,
which
is
discussed
specifically
in
that
in
that
in
that
paragraph,
that
any
any
decisions
are
non
mining
but
have
to
made
a
consideration
with
laws.
E
Safety
standards
which
includes
the
city,
safety
standards
and
the
recommendation
of
the
traffic
engineer.
So
I
think
it
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
clarify,
but
I
believe.
The
goal
definitely
is
that
this
is
reviewed
by
staff.
First
is
put
together
in
a
packet
so
that
the
Commission
has
the
information
they
need
from
which
to
base
a
decision
or
recommendation
and
then,
and
only
then
is
it
presented
to
them
and.
K
And
I
appreciate
that
I
I
I
think
right
well,
I
appreciate
the
though
that
the
goal
of
it
is
what
the
ordinance
says
is
all
transportation
matters
concerning
the
placement,
removal
or
change
of
traffic
signs
traffic
signals,
parking
zones,
bicycle
routes,
sidewalks
or
related
traffic
matter,
which
I'm
not
sure
what
that
is,
shall
first
go
to
the
Transportation
Committee
commission
for
consideration
in
review.
I,
don't
see
any
reference
there
to
first
contact
with
staff.
Well,.
E
It's
really
it
comes
later
in
the
paragraph
and
later
in
the
ordinance.
This
would
be
a
simple
I
suppose,
if
you
want
to
make
a
quick
amendment,
I
suppose
we
could
say
for
consideration
interview
prior
to
final
consideration
by
the
City
Council,
to
clarify
that
their
role
is
to
to
deal
with
these
issues
before
City
Council,
not
before
staff
and.
E
It's
the
very
next
sentence.
This
is
all
such
reviews
should
be
not
be
any
made
in
consideration
with
the
recommendation
of
traffic
engineer.
That
to
me
implies
that
the
traffic
engineer
is
involved
in
that
process
from
the
first
first
point
as
well
as
then,
there
is
an
entire
section
on
assistance
and
cooperation
from
city
officers
and
again
that
goal
is
to
make
sure
that
the
Commission
has
has
that
expertise
to
rely
on
and
is
not
out
there
on
their
own
trying
to
make
decisions
and.
N
I
think
that
staffs
understanding
or
thinking
behind
this
is
that
that
those
much
like
Planning
and
Zoning
those
petitions,
those
requests,
would
go
through,
be
funneled
through
staff
they'd
be
put
on
the
agenda,
three
staff
recommendations
would
be
coming
up.
I
know
one
of
the
things
that
city
manager,
Hales
I,
think
said
the
last
time
we
discussed
this.
N
You
know
this
is
kind
of
a
framework
that
we
might
have
to
come
back
and
put
some
more
provisions
in
fine-tune
as
we
go
along,
but
as
long
as
staff
has
that
same
understanding-
and
the
council,
you
know
is
okay
with
that.
I
think
you
know
we'll
be
all
right
there,
but
we
could
certainly
clear
that
up
a
little
bit
too.
If
you.
K
If
you
dip,
the
council
well
and
I
would
appreciate
that,
because,
because
again
one
of
my
other
comments
when
we
talked
about
this
during
the
committee,
the
whole
was
my
understanding
was
when,
when
we
left
the
Committee
of
the
Whole
meeting
in
January,
that
my
understanding
was
based
on
council
comment
that
we
were
going
back
to
to
open
up
the
staff
process
for
more
transparency
and
a
lot
more
public
comment.
That
was
my
understanding.
Then
what
came
back
was
not
that
what
came
back
was
a
complete
overhaul
and
a
new
commission.
K
So
so
forgive
me
if
I'm
not
totally
clear.
In
my
mind
what
the
understanding
is
versus
what
the
wording
says
of
the
ordinance
inside
I
appreciate
that,
maybe
not
you
I,
don't
know
who
that
would
be,
but
but
I
like
some
additional.
You
know
specific
wording
laid
out
there
to
avoid
misunderstandings.
Oh.
L
O
Thank
you
for
asking.
Yes,
it
actually
has
gone
out
for
a
bit.
It's
been
on
our
city
website,
it's
gone
in
the
APWU,
a
black
engineers,
women
engineers
associations
really
trying
to
get
a
broad
base,
good
pool
for
us
to
find
some
selection.
That
process
is
closed.
We
are
looking
to
do
some
interviews
so
we're
we're
thankful
wanting
to
move
this
forward.
Hopefully,
the
timing
will
coincide
with
some
of
what
we're
doing
with
the
Transportation
Commission.
Okay,.
O
A
full-time
position
that
was
budgeted
in
the
current
budget,
so
what
these
city
managers
asked
for
us
to
do
is
to
look
at
any
supplemental
type
services
that
might
be
needed,
so
so
a
full-time
person.
You
know
there
might
be
some
other
additional
services
that
are
needed
beyond
what
this
person
can
provide.
That's
where
we
look
to
have
that
kind
of
go
out
for
a
consultant,
and
we
currently
have
some
contracts
that
the
city
has
underway,
that
we
can
utilize.
Okay,.
M
F
F
I
did
know
first,
any
sellers
David.
For
me,
roads
are
public
safety
and
I,
don't
feel
that
ordinary
citizens,
such
as
myself,
are
adequately
equipped
to
make
these
decisions
section
301
one
people
on
the
commission
would
have
demonstrated
interest
knowledge
or
experience,
and
traffic
management
or
transportation
whoa.
F
So
I,
just
I
just
questioned
finding
people
that
are
qualified.
We
have
qualified
staff,
we
do
hold
public
hearings
about
roads
and
speed
limits
when
they
come
up.
We
have
several
master
plans
that
impact
our
roads
already
and
finally,
I
haven't
I've.
Had
several
people
contact
me
and
none
have
been
positive
about
this
particular
commission.
K
K
So
that's
why
again,
I'm
not
I'm
going
to
work
I'm
going
to
be
much
more
diligent
going
forward
and
making
sure
that
I
get
answers
to
my
questions
and
that
there's
there's
clear
communication
to
the
to
the
staff
on
on
what
console
direction
is
so
so
so
Jeff
is.
That
is
that
what
we've
said
here
I
mean:
is
that
sufficient
from
from
an
ordinance
perspective
and.
N
I'm
not
sure
if
we
might
want
to
say
after
filing
with
the
traffic
engineer
all
transportation
matters
blah
blah
blah
you
know
and
to
make
that
even
clearer.
If
we
desire,
because
I
think
that
the
division
is
the
traffic
engineer
will
be
the
staff
person.
That
is,
you
know
the
touch
point
for
all
of
this
drew.
O
That
I'm,
aware
of
the
the
point
is,
is
some
of
this
is
going
to
be
in
talking
with
the
city
manager.
Some
of
this
we
are
going
to
be
working
through.
This
is
it's
a
fair
question
because
we
haven't
had
this
before
and
so
from.
What
at
staff
we've
been
talking
about
is
some
of
our
intention
would
be
it
should
funnel
through
its
staff,
it's
similar
to
the
Planning
Commission.
This
should
funnel
through
staff,
to
provide
that
recommendation
to
the
Transportation
Commission
and
in
turn,
then,
that
advisory
board
gives
that
to
the
council.
O
There
needs
to
be
a
mechanism
and
a
process
that
mess
Edison's
can
do
that.
The
other
thing
we've
talked
about
that
that
we
think
needs
to
be
flushed
out
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
work
with
the
city
manager
and
assistant
city
manager
on
is
every
single
handicap
sign.
You
know
every
single
little
issue.
O
We
really
think
that
would
be
very
cumbersome
what
we
are
looking
for
policies,
what
we're
looking
for
a
high
level
sort
of
you
know
kind
of
direction
for
staff
to
in
to
implement,
but
we
need
some
we're
going
to
continue
to
work
on
to
make
sure
we've
got
that
clearly
spelled
out.
We
think
that
process
can
be
can
be
helpful.
We
want
this
to
be
a
benefit,
not
a
burden,
and
so
that's
where
we
think.
If
we've
got
clarity
from
clarity
on
policy
direction,
we
can
we
can
be
effective
in
what
we
do.
H
You
and
thank
you
for
all
those
answers.
You
know
when
I
originally
read
through
this
and
not
read
it
the
same
way
that
alderman
staged
it,
but
now
I
understand
what
he's
saying
and
having
set
up
here
for
some
time.
I
know
that
we
have
some
folks
that
will
read
the
letter
and
will
want
the
Commission
to
do
certain
things
that
perhaps
you
didn't
intend
it.
So,
even
if
we
have
this
conversation,
it
still
may
not
play
out
the
way
we
want
it
to
do.
H
I've,
seen
versions
and
other
municipalities
for
similar
types
of
commissions,
but
also
different
ones
where
they
do
things
were.
Like
suppose.
Let
me
just
play
a
scenario
here
that
there's
a
neighborhood:
they
want
to
lower
their
speed
limit.
They
pass
around
petitions,
they
don't
tell
anybody
they're
doing
it,
get
their
signatures.
Let's
even
get
they
get
150,
they
show
up
to
a
Transportation
Committee
meeting
and
they
present
the
petition
and
say
what
are
you
going
to
do
about
it?
H
Nobody's
reviewed
it
and
so
I've
seen
mechanisms
in
some
of
these
these
ordinances
and
commissions,
where
the
Commission
can
formally
receive
the
information
and
then
refer
to
staff
and
I,
wonder
if
that
would
speak
to
the
concern
that
alderman
sage
is
raising,
but
also
perhaps
I,
don't
not
saying
satisfy.
But
please
address
the
concern
that
that
hypothetical
citizen
would
have
in
that
scenario.
E
D
E
At
some
point
in
time
on
his
future
agenda,
given
the
opportunity
for
that
staff
overview
again,
that's
that's
the
goal
here
and
I
appreciate
the
clarification
for
mr.
karge
that
we're
looking
at
policy
level
issues
here,
not
engineering
specifications,
not
not
those
little
details
that
council
would
never
be
involved
and
we're
looking
for
those
bigger
policy
level
issues.
E
H
Yeah
my
so
then
the
scenario
that
I'm
throwing
out
there
in
the
way
that
I'm
reading
is
I,
guess
I,
could
have
someone
that's
and
I
rates
this
in
the
states
that
they
were
told
that
you
know
that
would
be
considered
at
that
meeting,
but
you're
correct
in
the
open
meetings.
I
think
think
of
that
piece.
But
the
frustration
that
I
hear
from
people
about
these
types
of
issues
is
that
they
don't
know
where
to
turn
and
I
hope
that
the
chairman
of
this
commission
would
be
empowered
to
at
least
have
that
conversation.
H
You
know
in
a
formal
manner
and
I've
heard
nothing
but
positive
comments
by
now
that
we
have
a
wide
variety
of
citizens
that
that
weigh
in
on
these
issues,
which
is
a
good
thing,
but
I
just
wanted
that
to
be
known.
That
instance.
Well,
there's
some
concerns.
We
got
to
work
through
some
of
these
challenges.
A
The
main
thing,
certainly
in
the
interactions
that
I've
had
there,
have
been
a
couple-
people-
maybe
one
even
at
just
before
public
comment,
not
public
comment.
We
didn't
have
it
today,
sir,
before
the
mayor
is
open
house
it
once
it
was
explained,
you're
not
making
engineering
decisions.
This
is
basically
a
move
toward
more
open
government,
more
participation.
O
Correct
again,
it's
the
way
that
some
of
the
wording
was
we
wanted
as
a
staff
level
as
well,
making
sure
that
you
know
every
single.
This
is
that's
why
we
like
that
level,
that
policy
level
kind
of
discussions
where
it
needs
to
be.
We
still
think
there's
a
lot
of
benefit.
Aldermen
Schmidt,
just
like
you
said,
and
somebody
being
able
to
say,
hey
I,
need
a
handicapped
spot
in
front
of
my
house.
I
use
that
as
an
example
that,
if
it
complies
with
the
policy,
we've
done
that
shouldn't
go
through
a
larger
process.
O
Let's
just
get
that
done
that
becomes
cumbersome.
It
becomes
unnecessary.
We
should
be
responsive
when
we
can,
when
we
can
be,
and
so
I
think
the
there
should
be
a
standard
form
that
people
can
still
fill
out
and
then,
if
it
is
not
in
compliance
with
the
policy
that
we
have
and
the
person
then
does
not
agree
with
it.
That's
a
wonderful
thing
for
Transportation
Commission.
If
they,
if
they
choose
to
take
up
that
as
a
policy
issue,
so.
G
O
Is
so
this
is
where
I
city
manager,
Hales
and
I
have
been
talking
about
that,
because
that
language
did
we
wanted
about
that
as
a
staff?
We
hoped
that
would
not
mean
that
every
single
one
we
think
that'd
be
a
burden
to
our
citizens,
as
opposed
to
the
benefit.
What
my
intention
was,
and
so
the
we
think
there
is.
We
were
hoping
that
the
implementation
of
this
would
be
as,
as
I
publicly
stated,
in
seeing
head
nods,
I'm,
hoping
that
that
is
your
elected
body,
also
interpretation
of
the
language,
so.
G
N
G
That
just
make
clear
up
some
of
the
questions
we
have
here
and
then
on
section
304
to
I
had
asked
last
time
about
the
downtown
parking
committee
Commission
whatever
it
is.
I
noticed
in
here
that
now
the
downtown
master
plan
is
part
of
some
of
the
plans
that
can
be
considered
and
I
didn't
know
whether
I
had
convinced
anybody
that
maybe
we
don't
need
a
downtown
traffic
committee
or
am
I
just
wishful
e-reading
here
that.
G
O
Much
of
the
much
of
the
downtown
traffic.
You
know
that
that
discussion
about
downtown
traffic
is
still
at
a
staff
level.
It's
include.
Some
stakeholders
include
some
other
stakeholders,
but
I
there
might
be
I
think
where
city
manager,
Hills
was
kind
of
responding
back
to
that
is,
there's
still
some
benefit.
We
don't
want
to
take
away
the
ability
for
us
on
that
that
the
lowest
level
to
get
the
work
done
is
still
beneficial.
We
can
get
things
done
quicker.
O
O
We
don't
want
to
take
away
that
dialogue,
I,
think
a
lot
of
the
stakeholders
in
the
downtown
appreciate
the
ability
to
maybe
get
some
things
done
quickly,
and
so
we
don't
want
to
remove
that,
but
we
want
to
still
allow
that
mechanism
that
they
can
still
submit
issues
that
there's
questions
through
that
same
process.
Does
that
answer
your
question?
It.
K
K
That
that
doesn't
suggest
that
staff
can
deal
with
that
at
the
lowest
level,
the
most
efficient
and
the
most
effective
level.
What
the
ordinance
reads
is
those
will
all
come
to
the
Commission,
and
so
those
seem
to
be
the
principle
of
trying
to
handle
things
at
the
at
a
low
cost
level
in
the
organization
in
engaging
the
perhaps
the
people
with
the
least
amount
of
time.
That
probably
don't
need
to
be
involved
with
placement
of
a
sign.
K
K
N
As
mr.
karge
was
saying,
you
know
as
along
with
with
what
your
you're
talking
about
that's
the
kind
of
thing
that
we
would
probably
want
to
remove
out
there
or
modify
because,
as
you
said,
that's
currently
what
the
ordinance
would
require
now,
conceivably,
the
Commission
you
know
could
adopt
the
policy
or
something
and-
and
this
council
eventually
a
policy
kind
of
you
know,
setting
certain
regulations
or
exempting
certain
things,
but
certainly
another
way
to
approach
that
would
be
to
come
back
with
some.
You
know
revised
language
scraps.
N
O
I,
if
I
could
oh
hey
to
do
this
on
the
floor,
but
if
I
could
make
the
recommendation
we
could
very
easily
you
could
table
this
until
date.
Certain
June,
13th,
June
12th.
Excuse
me
I.
Think
is
the
next
meeting
take
action
on
it.
On
that
night
staff
could
make
the
tweaks
we
could
actually
even
prepare
the
form
that
could
go
online
for
the
reviews,
so
that
so
the
council
could
see
that
it
and
maybe
even
kind
of
better
to
find
that
I
think
that
would
help
everybody
involve.
So
that
process
would
be
clear.
O
A
Yeah,
just
as
I
as
I'm
going
back
through
it
again
just
the
first
section
300
since
this
there
is
hereby
establish
a
transportation
committee
to
assist,
inform
and
advise
administrative
and
elected
officials
of
the
city
on
matters
pertaining
to
the
transportation
of
people
materials
in
the
city.
The
primary
areas
of
focus
are
the
Transportation
Commission
says:
focus
shall
consist
of
advising
on
policy
metal.
You
know
level
matters
involving
streets
and
highways.
If
it
seems
like.
That's
seems
like
that
to
me:
it's
500
feet,
I,
don't
think
it
says.
A
E
No
I
think
it's
I
think
that
if
we're
going
to
be
making
a
significant
change
as
this
is,
we
should
be
comfortable
with
the
language
and
I.
Think
it's
fine
to
clarify
that,
and
you
know,
as
impatient
as
I
can
be
I
think
it
would
be
best
at
this
point
time,
because
I
think
these
are
good
concerns
to
work
on
the
language.
A
little
bit.
More
sounds
like
what
we
need
to
do
is
make
sure
that
the
staff
versus
the
Commission
roles
are
clear
and
I
would
also
suggest
if
we're
going
to
open
this
up.
E
That
I
think
one
thing
that's
missing
from
here
that
would
be
useful
is
a
line
saying
that
nothing
will
prevent
the
city
from
taking
immediate
action
in
the
interest
of
Public
Safety,
because
that's
what
another
area
I
think.
We
all
conceptually
understand
that
if
there's
a
public
safety
issue
that
need
to
be
rectified,
we're
not
waiting
for
a
meeting.
But
if
we're
going
to
change
language,
let's
go
ahead
and
put
that
in
there
as
well,
and
hopefully,
alderman
sage
can
perhaps
provide
a
little
beefy
back
to
Jeff
and
Jim
about
what
you
know.
E
C
The
the
question
I
had
for
you,
Jim
and
the
staff
in
general
is
because
this
seems
like
a
pretty
significant
change.
I'm
always
concerned
about
the
administrative
side
of
things.
You
know:
how
is
the
staff
going
away?
So
how
is
this
stuff
going
to
be
able
to
handle
this?
You
know.
Is
that
going
to
require
more
staffing
for
you
or
are
there
things
that
we
will
not
be
able
to
do
because
of
this
I'm,
just
curious
of
all
the
behind
the
scenes
stuff
that
will
happen.
I
mean
this
is
nice.
C
O
Tough
to
say
what
I
will
thank
the
council
for
is
you
have
done
what
we
as
a
staff
would
ask
if
you
asked
to
add
something
to
us,
you
provided
the
resources.
We
hope.
The
traffic
engineer
that
you
approved
as
part
of
this
budget
will
be
the
critical
point
person
for
this
commission,
and
so
we
are
hopeful
that
that
will
give
us
the
resources
to
be
able
to
accomplish
this.
So
you
know
we
will
find
out.
O
A
lot
of
people
are
going
to
be
excited
about
tackling
some
things
and
so
we'll
try
to
get
as
much
done
as
we
can
quickly,
and
so
the
concern
will
be
some
patience
in
the
very
beginning,
so
we
can
maybe
stretch
out
and
prioritize
what
we
want
to
pick
first
as
far
as
policies,
but
then,
as
with
anything
over
time,
you
hope
those
level
out
and
you
kind
of
have
some
general
policy
level
direction.
But
a
fair
question.
I
think
by
filling
the
traffic
engineer,
engineer,
role,
that's
budgeted!
A
H
K
We
have
some
some
relation
to
to
how
the
process
is
going
to
work
with
staff.
First,
those
first
contact
points
being
being
through
staff
as
they
are,
as
I
suggested
through
the
CBA
Planning
Commission
or
two
that
come
to
mind.
I
think
those
are
the
ones
that
I
touched
on
I.
Think
Scott
mentioned
one
I
think
Amelia
I'm
Amelia
mentioned
one
about
related
to
fast
action
on
Public
Safety,
or
this
idea
pushing
it
down
in
the
organization
is
that
is
that
everything
that
that's.
A
A
Okay,
the
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce
madam
Clerk,
okay,
I'm,
going
on
to
our
last
item
on
our
agenda
for
this
evening.
I
get
back
to
my
agenda
and
that's
item
II
consideration
of
resolution
to
approve
the
city
of
Bloomington
submission
to
the
McLean
County
Regional
Planning
Commission
for
the
fiscal
year
2018
2022
Transportation,
Improvement
Program
for
the
Boeing
to
normal
urban
eyes
dariya,
and
we
have
a
brief
presentation
by
mr.
karch
and
then
tenth
council
discussion.
Thank
you.
Hopefully,.
O
This
can
be
very
brief.
We'd
like
to
be
able
to
beat
the
record
here
for
a
little
while,
so
tonight
we're
going
to
be
talking
a
little
bit
about
the
tip
of
the
transportation
improvement
plan
program
that
we
have.
This
is
something
that
is
is
happens
every
year
through
McLean
County,
Regional
Planning.
They
are
our
partner
they're,
the
the
vehicle
in
the
arm
by
which
we
submit
this.
O
It
is
in
compliance
with
a
litany
of
federal
requirements
that
are
listed
in
the
packet
and
then
also
on
their
website,
but
this
is
something
to
where
it
is
in
compliance
with
their
already
passed
budget.
This
is
putting
out
there
what
if
the
council
has
approved
in
next
year's
budget
and
in
some
of
the
out
years,
it's
fiscally
constrained,
it's
just
putting
out
there
of
what
we
are
looking
to
do
from
a
capital
perspective
from
a
transportation
and
transit.
Now
the
tip
includes
not
just
Bloomington
but
also
normal
transit
idot.
O
So
it
includes
a
lot
of
other
different
communities,
in
fact
normal
and
the
city
town
of
normal
and
McClain
County.
They
don't
provide
a
resolution.
We
are
just
as
a
staff
trying
to
provide
this
as
a
touch
point
for
our
council
to
know
that
the
this
is
occurring
so
again,
this
isn't
mandatory
for
you
to
do
we're
trying
to
bring
this
before
you,
just
as
that
that
making
sure
you've
seen
this
as
part
of
the
process.
There
is
a
policy
and
a
technical
committee
of
which
the
city
manager
and
mayor
are
part
of
many.
O
C
A
quick
question
and
I
grabbed
you
in
the
parking
lot
earlier,
but
I
realized.
So
the
island
Grove
I
think
it's
2022
year,
2022
fiscal
year,
2022,
Island,
Grove
and
stride
Drive
and
actually
in
2021.
There
is
a
project
cost
of
fifty
five
thousand
dollars.
Is
that
for
a
study
traffic
signal
installation,
then
in
2022
it
goes
up
to
five
hundred
thousand.
C
O
We
go
so
in
2020.
That
is
where
again
so
does
she
is
the
construction?
So
again,
he
is
where
we're
going
to
be
doing
more.
That's
why
it's
again
with
under
2021
stride,
drive
and
Island
Grove
Road
traffic
signals
fifty-five
thousand.
That
is,
for
more
of
the
design
for
us
to
be
able
to
move
that
project
forward.
You're
going
to
see,
then
in
2022
that
project,
then
for
the
city
of
Bloomington,
is
out
there
for
500,000
for
traffic
signal
installation
with
the
C
in
that
a
middle
column.
That's
for
the
construction
of
it.
O
So
the
es
for
engineering
C
is
for
the
construction.
It
is
a
little
bit
confusing
keep
in
mind.
This
hasn't
been
approved
by
the
council,
but
these
are
in
the
out
years,
and
so
this
is
what's
currently
in
some
of
that
capital
improvement
plan,
that's
yet
to
be
brought
before
the
council.
So
my
guess
is
next
year
when
we
have
the
tip
we'll
modify
it
to
me.
Whatever
the
council
approves
in
the
five
year
budget,
so,
for
example,
traffic
signals
there's
a
few
out.
There
sometimes
account
we've
looked
at
traffic
signals
as
a
okay.
O
E
Just
curious
how
you
determine
which
projects
are
pulled
out
and
and
listed
separately
and
which
ones
are
not
because,
obviously,
our
capital
and
our
own
capital
improvement
plan,
which
is
in
the
draft
form,
is
something
has
a
lot
more
detail
as
to
what
we're
up
to
so
I'm
just
curious
about
this
process.
The.
O
L
First
in
Boca
I'm
sorry
I
was
actually
going
to
ask
the
questions
about
the
one
the
traffic
signals
in
2020
and
2021.
You
were
looking
at
21
22,
Jim
I
was
just
going
to
ask
when
I
was
on
council.
Four
years
ago.
We
were
looking
at
traffic
signals
then,
and
I'd
swear
that
I
remember.
The
number
that
we
were
using
for
traffic
signals
was
250,000,
and
now
it
appears
our
number
has
become
500,000
to
put
in
a
traffic
signal
and
I
was
just
you
know.
L
L
O
O
So
a
lot
of
times
whenever
you're,
looking
in
the
out-years
before
we
get
it
engineered
we're
trying
to
put
a
hot
dollar
figure
on
it.
That
is
more
reflective
of
some.
In
anticipated
improvements
we
don't
know
the
500,000
is
just
a
best-guess
trend
of
a
placeholder.
Until
we
get
more
of
the
the
better
engineering
costs
nailed
down.
It's
very
difficult
before
you
have
an
intersection
design
study
that
projects
out
those
20
years,
as
mandated
for
us
to
really
get
a
good
cost
estimate.
Okay,.
A
G
It'd
be
short,
Pacific
question
in
2018,
Jim,
there's
an
item
for
intersection
improvement
at
Towanda
barns
and
Ireland
Grove.
Is
that
the
same
improvement
that
the
County
Board
had
a
conversation
about
and
I
thought
that
the
resolution
was
they
thought
we
wanted
it
and
we
thought
they
wanted
it.
And
so
what
is
this?
That's.
O
The
same
item
is
currently
in
the
approved
budget
music.
It's
in
the
council
approved
budget.
Currently
it
will
come
back
as
any
budget,
as
any
budget
item
does
for
your
approval,
but
it
isn't
looking
to
be
done
during
this
current
construction
season.
It
would
be
looking
to
be
done
under
the
next
year's
construction
season,
and
my
understanding
from
talking
to
the
county
engineer
Stokes
is
that
the
county
is
they're
the
ones
driving
the
project
but
they're
looking
at
it
because
of
current
operational
issues,
not
because
of
concerns
of
any
developments
further
to
the
east.
O
It
is
really
dealing
with
current
southbound
right
turn,
issues
and
they're,
seeing
if
they
can
work
with
the
Illinois
Department
of
Transportation
I
dot
on
making
changes
to
their
requirements
because
again
they're
falling
under
those
same
issues
of
you.
You
have
to
project
that
twenty
years
out
and
so
they're
mandating
certain
changes
to
that
intersection
which
are
very
costly,
so
they're
looking
to
see
if
they
have
any
of
their
options
before
they
bring
it
back
through
their
transfer.
O
O
Tonight
does
not,
and
just
you
know
tonight
doesn't
this
doesn't
bind
you
to
any
of
these
projects.
These
projects
are
just
these
are
just
descriptive
in
nature.
These
are
not.
These
are
not
binding
for
you.
You've
approved
these
in
the
budget
for
2018
in
the
out
years.
You
haven't
approved
them
yet,
and
so
those
will
be
approved
in
as
time
comes
along.
Okay
is
there.
A
A
motion
then,
to
approve
this
plan
vote
move
by
ultimate
black.
Is
there
a
second
second
several
seconds?
Second,
by
all
the
woman
Bray
disappoints.
If
there
is
no
are
no
more
discussion,
then,
if
you
go
ahead
and
vote
motion
carries
Wow,
we've
had
a
series
of
unanimous
votes
and
nobody
in
public
comment
Wow.
H
Blunt,
this
is
our
last
formal
council
meeting
prior
to
the
Taste
of
the
West,
which
will
be
held
at
the
Coliseum
this
year
on
June
2nd,
so
it's
at
5:00
p.m.
it
starts,
and
it's
going
to
be
bigger
than
all
previous
year's
know
that
I've
seen
other
aldermen
there.
It's
a
great
event
and
I
want
to
remind
everybody,
great
food,
be.
