A
D
D
A
E
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
I've
got
a
handful
of
updates,
but
I'll
move
through
these
quickly
covet
testing
that
deputy
city
manager
tyus
shared
it's
going
to
turn
into
a
mobile
testing
out
in
the
rural
areas
of
mclean
county
and
that's
something
that
morsel
want
to
share
with
community.
If
they've
got
family,
the
mobile
testing
is
something
that's
going
to
be
stood
up
very
soon.
E
I
think
most
might
have
seen
this
in
the
media,
where
a
normal
fire
department
has
some
covet
positive
cases
and
some
other
firemen
that
are
in
quarantine.
I
know
that
fire
chief
brian
moore,
is
talking
to
chief
humor
in
normal
and
definitely
have
spoke
to
one
another.
You
know
trying
to
figure
out
what
a
backup
plan
might
be,
because
that
is
a
large
number
for
a
smaller
department
and
we
want
to
be
there
for
our
twin
city.
E
The
other
item
that
I
want
to
share
is
that
our
cdbg
cares
act
money.
There
is
a
personal
side
and
I
think
that's
around
275
thousand
dollars
that
we
have
set
aside
for
program
and
for
the
individual
type
assistants
right
now.
We're
processing
over
150
applications
that
jennifer
tony
amy,
overton
and
others
are
working
on
to
get
those
processed.
E
I
don't
think
we've
received
any
applications
yet
and
are
working
on
using
that
money
potentially
for
job
training,
which
is
an
allowable
use
of
the
money
so
reaching
out
to
some
of
the
partners
in
the
community
to
see
if
that
might
be
money
that
could
be
used
for
true
placement
into
a
coveted
type
of
position
to
get
somebody
employed
and
actually
that's
a
great
opportunity
where
we're
talking
about
permanent
employment
potentially
and
it's
a
workforce
development
improvement
again.
E
Another
opportunity,
under
this
covid
19
situation
that
we're
in
another
area
that
we
potentially
could
use
the
cdbg
kirzak
money
on
the
business
programming
side
is
life
cell
shared
a
week
or
so
ago.
Some
concerns
that
they
had.
I
don't
think
that
there's
been
any
community.
Complaints
doesn't
need
to
be,
but
life
still
brought
forward.
E
E
Another
last
comment
is
we
continue
to
track
our
financial
impacts,
as
it
directly
re
relates
to
covid
and
we're
continuing
to
trend
better
than
our
negative
projections,
so
they'll
still
always
going
to
be
that
negative
impact
as
it
relates
and
is
due
to
covet,
but
we
are
doing
better
than
what
our
conservative
projections
were
early
on
so
more
to
come,
not
out
of
this
yet,
but
continue
to
track
fairly
well.
Thank
you,
mayor.
A
Thank
you,
mr
police,
and
thank
you
not
only
for
the
report,
but
all
the
hard
work
that
you
and
our
staff
are
doing
to
try
to
help
make
our
community
safer.
We
do
move
next
to
the
item
of
recognitions
and
appointments,
and
these
are
recognitions
and
appointments
to
the
police,
pension
board
and
the
john
m
scott
health
care
commission,
and
I
wonder
if
we
I
can
turn
this
over
to
our
clerk.
A
Oh,
yes,
we've
already
got
them
up
there,
dean
messinger
and
we
had
john
scott,
too
okay,
angie,
shisenski
and
judy
new
brander
philly
sebastian
and
karen
stipp.
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
C
Yes
matter
mayor,
we
do
have
two
people
registered
diane,
hollister
and
zachary
get
rich.
We
could
start
with
diane.
D
F
I
have
yes,
I
have
three
safety
concerns.
First,
one
is
I'd
like
to
thank
the
bloomington
police
department
for
their
support,
empathy,
commiseration
and
concern
provided,
particularly
for
me,
during
in
light
of
the
fourth
of
july
festivities
that
have
been
going
on
for
quite
a
while.
Thank
you
to
the
police
department
for
their
patience
shown
in
light
of
the
complaints
regarding
the
overzealousness
of
those
who've
decided
upon
celebrating
independence
day,
one
month
before
and
one
week
after
the
observance
of
the
national
holiday.
F
I
rarely
phoned
the
police,
but
this
year
with
the
disturbance
I
just
it's
been
over,
the
top
all
the
noise.
My
family,
neighbors
friends,
have
voiced
complaint
about
the
revel
rebel
revelry,
becoming
a
nuisance
to
people
who
have
to
work
the
next
day
because
it
goes
on
until
one
in
the
morning
my
pets
and
are
disturbed
children
in
infants
are
their
sleep,
is
disturbed
by
being
awakened
and
a
lot
of
times.
People,
not
the
police,
but
people
say
well.
F
Boys
will
be
boys
or
live
with
it
alternatives
to
these
fireworks,
but
I
don't
think
it's
acceptable.
I
realize
that
the
era
of
covet
has
served
as
an
excuse
or
a
reason
for
some
people
to
go
off
steam
during
this
these
times,
but
july
3rd
and
4th
they're,
just
fine
to
celebrate
other
days
of
disturbances
are
not.
F
Could
we
please
have
some
plan
in
place
for
fireworks
2021
before
next
year
or
hopefully,
miller
park
will
be
back
open
by
then,
but
a
plan
for
or
some
plan
set
in
place
to
discourage,
revelers
or
face
fines
would
help
cease
this
constant
noise,
this
din
and
I
think
that
hitting
people
in
the
pocketbook
probably
going
to
be
the
only
way
to
wake
people
up,
and
this
is
a
safety
concern,
because
in
the
wrong
hands
with
people
who
are
amateur
fireworks,
people
in
the
neighborhoods
it
can
be,
it
can
be
wreak
havoc
because
people
can
really
get
hurt.
F
F
Is
it
possible
for
bloomington
police
department
and
normal
police
department
to
look
into
pooling
resources
to
obtain
a
shot
spotter?
It's
a
detection,
detection
equipment,
that's
put
around
the
city
to
determine
where
shots
are
coming
from
and
it
does
have
something
sensitivity
enough
to
to
detect
which
the
among
the
three,
if
it's
a
shot,
if
it's
a
firecracker
or
a
car,
backfiring
peoria
has
the
system
in
place
and
it's
been
widely
accepted
because
I've
looked
it
up.
G
Hear
me:
yes,
you
can
excellent.
First
off
to
older
person,
emig
an
older
person
painter
I've
been
trying
to
reach
out
to
you
about
an
interview,
I'll,
go
ahead
and
send
you
an
email
with
my
contact
information.
G
I
want
to
talk
briefly
about
policing
and
throw
out
a
couple
of
questions.
I'd
like
you
to
cogitate
on.
Is
it
necessary
that
every
traffic
stop
be
answered
by
someone
with
a
gun
couldn't
that
job
be
performed
by
an
unarmed
person?
99.99
of
traffic
stops
have
no
need
for
deadly
force.
The
person
we're
paying
as
taxpayers
get
paid
more
because
they're
armed,
so
an
unarmed
person
could
perform
the
same
function
while
saving
the
city
money.
This
unarmed
individual
could
still
have
the
power
to
make
arrests.
G
They
could
still
arrest
someone
for
intoxicated
driving
or
whatever
the
offending
action
is
in
fact,
most
civilized
nations.
Don't
even
use
armed
officers
for
traffic
stops
their
amount
of
civilian
deaths
by
cops
and
police
deaths
by
civilians
are
much
lower
than
ours.
Some
might
even
consider
america's
way
of
policing
as
particularly
barbaric
or
savage.
G
If
there's
a
homeless
person
trespassing
somewhere,
is
it
necessary?
The
person
that
responds
be
armed
or
even
be
a
law
enforcement
agent,
would
it
not
be
more
efficient
and
less
likely
to
escalate.
If
we
had
a
homeless
advocate
address
this
situation,
there
can
still
be
law
enforcement
available
like
around
the
corner
in
case
the
situation
does
indeed
escalate,
but
it's
not
necessary
that
an
armed
police
officer
is
the
first
to
respond
to
a
minor
or
non-violent
situation.
G
The
mere
presence
of
the
police
is
often
is
enough
to
escalate
any
situation.
I
believe
the
community
would
be
better
served
if,
instead
of
the
first
person
called
the
police
were
the
third
or
the
fourth
calls
to
defund.
The
police
are
not
the
same
as
disbanding
police
or
abolishing
the
police.
If
someone
murders
or
attacks
someone
else,
we
all
expect
the
state
to
use
violence
to
apprehend
that
individual
and
punish
them,
but
minimizing
the
use
of
these
extreme
forms
of
violence
is
also
necessary
and
cost
effective.
G
A
few
years
ago
in
peoria,
I
had
to
get
orders
of
protection
against
my
roommates.
The
police
were
the
ones
who
showed
up
and
threatened
them
with
the
rest
if
they
didn't
leave.
At
this
point,
I
had
stopped
caring
about
these
people's
well-being,
and
I
personally
couldn't
have
cared
less
if
they
had
slept
under
a
bridge,
but
even
I
recognized
it
would
have
been
a
better
situation
if,
when
the
police
were
kicking
them
out,
they
also
offered
them
temporary
housing.
That
would
have
been
a
better
situation
overall.
G
Reducing
how
much
is
spent
on
policing
allows
us
to
invest
in
affordable
housing,
drug
addiction
and
mental
health,
and
yes,
social
workers
too.
It's
about
reducing
how
much
homelessness
and
drug
addiction
and
other
of
these
petty
and
often
non-violent
crimes
ultimately
cost
our
community.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
C
I'm
sorry
to
interrupt.
Could
I
please
read
the
names
of
the
individuals
that
emailed
public
comment.
C
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
we
do
have
several
people
I'm
going
to
start
with
council
member
bray.
You
want
to
remove
something
from
the
consent
agenda.
A
Okay,
council,
member
carrillo.
D
A
Okay,
councilmember
black.
A
Ooh,
okay,
we're
gonna,
go
ahead
and
start
then,
with
let's
see
I
forgot.
Let's
forgot:
who
was
what
were,
I
think,
was
council
member
bray.
I
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
start
with
you.
A
A
Yes,
thank
you
again
now
we'll
start
with
my
bad
memory
of
who
started
first,
but
I'm
going
to
start
with
council
member
bray.
You
pulled
item
I
and
I'm
gonna
turn
that
over
to
you.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
I'll
be
recusing
myself
as
well.
Okay,
yeah!
Can
we
thank
you?
Can
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
this
item
as
presented
no.
A
Second,
by
council
member
carrillo,
madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll.
A
C
There
he
is
okay:
okay,
councilmember
boland;
yes,
councilmember,
milla
wombway;
yes,
councilmember
emig;
yes,
councilmember
painter;
yes,
councilmember
carrillo;
yes,
councilmember
black!
Yes,.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
ocean
carries
no
names
to
announce.
Madam
clerk,
again,
I'm
not
100
sure
this
is
the
exact
order
in
which
they
were
pulled,
but
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
to
council
member
carrillo,
for
I
believe
you
pulled
item
8c.
A
Okay,
all
righty
is
there
a
motion
either?
Yes
or
no.
I
I
move
that
we
reject.
A
Second,
second,
council,
member
craybill,
okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second,
madam
clerk.
Would
you
please
call
the
roll
I'm.
J
I
Yeah,
so
my
understanding
is
that
this
is
a
replacement
vehicle,
but
I
personally
have
made
a
pledge
not
to
continue
providing
resources
that
increase
the
volume
or
the
the
size
of
the
police
department.
So
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
vote
now.
C
And
mayor
mayor
also
corporation
council,
jeff
jergens
has
his
hand
up.
N
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
this
action
is
actually
we're
recommending
to
reject
the
bids
correct.
So
so
approval
of
this
item
is
rejecting
the
bids
right
now.
The
reason
the
reason
we're
recommending
that
is
because
we
can
buy
them
cheaper
from
another
source.
So
a
motion
not
to
rejec.
You
know
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
and
see
if
there
any
question.
I
Okay,
so
then,
when
we
get
new
bids,
we'll
have
another
motion
that
we
need
to,
or
we
will
have
another
item
on
the
agenda
that
we
need.
N
No,
it
actually
wouldn't
come
back
to
the
council
because
it
would
be
under
the
threat
the
financial
limit
it
wouldn't
have
to
come
to
the
council
and
it'd
be
through
a
joint
purchasing
agreement.
A
O
Could
I
yeah,
could
I
make
a
I'm
just
gonna
try?
Could
I
move
to
amend
the
motion
and
how
do
you
imagine
the
emotion?
O
I
would
ask
that
a
move
to
amend
so
that,
when
this
item
is,
is
brought
back
that
that
this
item
be
brought
back
and
put
in
front
of
the
councils
on
the
council
agenda
to
consider.
A
I
think
that's
what
council
member
craigville
was
saying
as
well.
I
C
I
C
A
All
right
at
this
point
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
start.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
role.
D
D
D
A
Okay
motion
carries,
I
believe
there
were
two
no's
to
announce.
Madam
clerk.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
apologize
all
right.
We
then
moved
to
item
b
and
I
believe
council
member
craig
bill
pulled
that
councilor
craig.
O
A
Second,
by
council
member
carrillo,
and
so
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
that
would
approve
this
group,
except
for
ryan
whitehouse.
O
And
and
mayor,
can
I
make
it
just
a
procedural
point
sure
and
maybe
jeff
jurgens
can
confirm,
but
after
assuming
this
passes,
then
somebody
could
make
a
motion
to
approve
ryan
whitehouse.
Is
that
it?
I.
A
Said
that
is
that
the
case
mr
jurgens,
yes,
okay
and
but
if
it
does
not,
then
we
go
back
to
the
possible
original
motion.
So
we'll
see
at
this
point
council
member
brave
excuse
me
did
you
did
you
have
something
to
add?
I'm
sorry.
H
So,
yes,
I
wanted
our
council
jeff
jurgens
to
speak
to
the
manner
in
which
the
motion's
been
called
in
the.
That
is
the
manner
in
which
we
can
proceed,
or
if
did
he
have
another
recommendation.
N
No,
I
I
think
I
think
that
motion's
in
order
it's
you,
don't
have
to
take
the
motion
that's
presented,
and
so
this
is
just
to
approve
the
other
appointees
and
as
mentioned,
if,
if
it
does
pass,
then
a
motion
is
still
in
order
on
mr
whitehouse,
okay,.
H
So
just
follow
up
on
that.
So
what
I'm
hearing
you
say
is
that
we
could
vote
no
to
this
motion
and
then
turn
around
and
do
a
motion
to
grant
the
pat
the
full
panel
of
appointees
separately.
Is
that.
J
N
A
So
much
okay!
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay.
At
this
point,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
pull
call
the
question
metalcore.
Could
you
call
the
roll
please.
B
M
I
D
A
H
Yes,
mayor
now,
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
approve
the
slate
of
candidates
to
the
appointments
as
outlined.
A
A
second
by
councilmember,
bolan,
sorry,
okay,
and
then
we
do
have
councilmember
cradle.
You
wanted
to
speak
to
this.
Yes,
I'd
like
to
have
the.
O
Opportunity
to
to
note,
while
I'll
be
voting,
no
against
this
motion
and
it's
it's
really
again
for
the
purposes
of
voting
against
ryan
whitehouse,
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
few
things
about
why
I'm
doing
that.
I
know
that
he
served
for
eight
years
and
he's
being
sought
to
reappoint
for
another
four
years.
I'm
grateful
for
anyone
that
chooses
to
serve
for
our
city
as
a
volunteer,
but
I
think
it's
important
whether
a
person
fits
with
the
needs
of
the
board
they're
serving
on.
O
I
understand
from
others
that
mr
whitehouse
played
a
large
role
in
making
connect
transit
more
fiscally
responsible.
The
question
now,
though,
is
whether
his
appointment
continues
to
serve
the
needs
of
the
community.
There's
a
petition
posing
this
reappointment
that
has
more
than
200
signatures.
I
believe
we
need
somebody
on
the
board.
O
When
the
board
decided
to
cut
routes
and
increase
fares,
the
writers
and
their
advocates
had
to
rise
up
and
have
their
voices
heard.
Only
then
did
the
board
listen
and
appoint
a
working
group.
Also,
mr
whitehouse
is
part
of
the
board
when
the
route
structure
was
changed.
That
cut
a
lot
of
stops
in
many
of
our
awards.
Did
the
changes
have
benefits
sure
route
timeliness
has
greatly
increased,
for
instance,
but.
O
Writers
who
no
longer
have
access
ryan
has
been
a
part
of
the
leadership
of
the
board,
as
we
have
focused
on
compliance
with
the
iga
I'll
note
that
the
board
has
or
and
connect
transit
have
failed
to
submit
the
annual
budget
by
the
the
end
of
their
fiscal
year,
as
required
by
the
iga,
and
so,
as
a
council
we've
been
unable
to
exercise
our
condition,
fiduciary
responsibilities
with
the
money
that
we
provide
to
connect
transit.
O
P
O
B
I
had
a
very
long
conversation
with
both
the
mayor
you're
aware
of
that,
and
also
with
ryan
whitehouse.
I've
been
involved
with
the
with
connect
transit
for
years,
and
I
went
to
all
the
meetings
for
the
connect
to
the
future.
B
Ryan
was
not
chair
during
all
these
issues.
There
was
somebody
else
who
was
chair.
I
specifically
spoke
to
ryan
when
I
met
with
him
last
week,
and
I
shared
my
expectations
very
clearly
and
I
will
hold
his
feet
to
the
fire.
He
has
a
value
to
the
board.
At
this
time,
we
currently
will
have
two
seats
that
will
address
the
special
needs
of
the
disabled
on
the
board.
B
Now,
so
two
out
of
seven
votes
will
address
those
needs,
and
I
think
that
the
makeup
of
the
board,
as
is,
is
going
to
be
valuable
for
moving
connect,
transit
forward.
That's
my
opinion.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Councilmember
baldwin
we're
going
to
go
to
council
member
carrillo
and
then
council
member
bray.
I
I
think
we
have
talked
about
this
at
length
last
year,
so
I'll
keep
my
comments
short
as
an
old
disability
rights.
Slogan
says
nothing
about
us
without
us.
So
I'd
really
like
to
see
our
connect
transit
board
be
led
by
a
paratransit
driver,
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
listen
and
center.
The
voices
of
people
who
are
most
directly
and
significantly
affected
and
members
of
the
disability
community
have
have
expressed
serious
reservations
about
this
appointment
and
so
I'll
be
voting.
I
No
specifically
in
relation
to
mr
whitehouse's
appointment,
although
I
think
him
for
for
his
service
over
the
past
eight
years.
H
Yes,
thank
you
mayor,
and
I
made
this
motion
to
prove
this
slate
of
candidates.
I
think
that
that
you've
done
a
fine
job
in
putting
together
teams
on
these
various
boards
and
commissions
of
people
who
are
postured
to
be
successful
and
represent
a
broad
swath
of
our
community,
and
I
thank
you
for
that
and
I'm
just
excited
tonight
to
vote
for
these
candidates.
So
thank
you.
L
O
A
A
Okay,
I
think
I
still
have
two
more
items
on
our
consent
agenda
here:
council
member
miller,
wombway,
you
pulled
item
f.
A
Okay
made
by
council
member
bowling.
Is
there
a
second.
A
And
second,
by
council
member
painter,
seeing
no
questions,
I
don't
see
anybody
matter
of
fact.
You
call
the
role
on
this
issue.
D
A
Q
C
Sorry
you're
fine
thanks,
councilmember
painter,
yes,
councilmember
carrillo,.
M
D
D
A
Motion
carries
I'm
going
to
go
now
to
item
k
and
I
believe,
council
member
black
pulled
that
consideration
of
an
ordinance
or
especially
permit
to
allow
chicken
keeping
council
member
black.
That.
J
Is
correct,
I'll,
be
making
a
motion
here
in
a
moment
to
reject
as
presented?
I
I've
heard
concerns
from
the
neighborhood
about
this
location
and,
as
I
understand
it,
if
this
motion
were
to
fail,
we
would
revert
to
the
original
motion
of
approval
and
I'd
be
voting.
No
on
that
to
provide
the
residents
of
voice
who
have
expressed
some
concern.
A
Can
you
state
it?
I
don't
want
it
to.
J
Reject
the
reject
item
8k,
as
presented
as.
O
A
B
I
I
would
like
an
elaboration.
I
did
get
the
email
and
read
it
from
a
few
people
that
were
opposed.
Could
you
explain
a
little
more
detail?
Yeah.
J
Absolutely
so
a
number
of
folks
are
cons
that
they
wanted
to
well.
They
participated
some
participated
in
the
public
hearing.
The
zoning
are
the
planning
public
hearing,
and
then
we
saw
the
public
comment
that
came
tonight,
and
you
know
there's
also
some
concern
about
some
other
folks
who
would
express
some
concern
to
me
one
off
about
this
permit
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
their
voices
are
reflected
at
the
very
beginning
of
when
we
started
talking
chicken
coops.
You
know
I.
J
I
certainly
am
not
the
biggest
fan
of
them,
but
my
my
thought
process
was
that
the
neighbors
don't
care,
I
don't
care,
and
in
this
case
we
have
immediate
neighbors
who
who
care
and
are
concerned
about
this.
So
given
that
you
know,
I
would
respect
everybody's
opinion
if
they
think
that's
okay
to
proceed,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
those
folks
have
a
voice
in
in
this
process.
O
And
I'll
just
add,
I
mean
I
think,
they're
just
concerns
with
regard
to
you
know
what
kind
of
wild
animals
that
this
chicken
coop
could
bring.
You
know
how
close
their
properties
are,
and
you
know
concerns
about
what
they
know
about
the
tenant
that
were
expressed
with
regard
to
her
ability
to
you
know
to
keep
animals
on
on
her
property.
That
type
of
thing.
A
Great.
Thank
you
very
much
council
member.
I
Hypothetically
speaking,
if
this
motion
was
to
fail
and
if
the
permit
was
approved,
what
recourse
does
the
city
have
if
things
go
wrong
so
like
if
we
approve
the
permit
for
the
chicken
coop,
and
then
you
know
a
couple
months
down
the
line
that
you
know,
the
neighbors
have
documented
complaints.
N
If
the
chicken's
trying
to
take
over
yeah
so
with
the
special
use,
they've
got
to
continue
to
meet
all
the
conditions
of
the
special
use
and,
if
not,
that
special
use
can
be
revoked
and
katie
may
be
able
to
speak
a
little
bit
to
that.
It
hasn't
happened.
I
don't
think
in
my
tenure
with
the
city,
but
and
it's
it's
pretty
rare,
but
they've
got
to
continue
to
meet
those
conditions
of
the
special
use.
Katie.
N
P
I
I
agree
with
jeff,
you
know
if
we
get
complaints
about
odors
or
noise
or
smell,
or
they
decide
to
have
more
than
four
chickens
on
the
property,
we
can
use
the
special
use
permit,
revocation
as
a
mechanism
for
enforcing
the
code.
You
know
we
can
also
use
other
parts
of
our
ordinance,
the
nuisance,
ordinance
and
and
other
parts
of
city
code
that
are
enforceable
as
well.
I
A
At
this
point,
we're
going
to
go,
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
that
is
to
deny
this
as
presented.
That
is
a
motion
made
by
a
council
member
black
and
second
by
council
member
craybill.
I
believe
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
call
the
royal
madam
clerk.
K
So
sorry,
hey,
so
a
yes
is
denying
it
right.
A
yes.
L
H
D
A
The
motion
carries
and
we
have
how
many
nays
to
announce.
C
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
So
the
choices
aren't
gonna.
A
About
a
chicken
coo,
that's
true!
Okay,
at
this
point,
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
move
to
our
regular
agenda,
and
the
first
item
of
which
would
be
9a
is
consideration
and
action
on
the
ratification
of
the
telecommunicators
contract,
as
requested
by
human
resource
department
and
the
police
department,
and
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
mr
gleason
for
a
five
minute
presentation
and
up
to
a
five
minute
total
council
discussion,
mr
gleason.
E
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
This
will
fall
into
the
category
like
other
collective
bargaining
agreements,
that
relatively
short
process
very
positive
process
with
the
union
and
the
union
leadership.
I
would
categorize
this
as
a
win-win,
the
telecommunicators
that
we
have
that
work
in
the
communication
center.
They
are
represented
by
the
pbpa.
E
E
It's
a
little
bit
shorter
because
it's
a
part
of
a
an
ongoing
conversation
for
possibilities
with
our
communication
center
a
long
way
to
go,
but
it's
one
that
I'm
actively
involved
with
other
entities
that
we
have.
The
agreement
provides
for
a
two
and
a
half
percent
pay
increase
both
years
slight
adjustment
to
how
soon
you
accrue
vacation
and
then
also
these
employees
are
covered
by
imrf,
and
this
is
truly
the
last
collective
bargaining
agreement
regarding
sick
leave
buyback,
while
no
employees
would
have
fallen
under
that.
E
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you,
mr
gleason,
for
all
your
work
on
this.
At
this
point,
council
members
concerns
issues,
questions
or
a
motion.
A
Second,
by
council
member
ray
any
discussion
seeing
none,
madam
clerk,
as
you
call
the
roll.
D
C
A
A
There
is
no
recommended
motion
tonight.
This
is
staff,
doing
some
of
their
work
and
there's
a
a
presentation
by
mr
gleason
and
ms
han
and
then
we'll
have
a
council
discussion
following
that,
and
this
would
be
to
give
staff
direction.
A
Do
they
when
they
bring
something
back
to
us,
they
may
be
bringing
a
couple
of
options.
They
bring
one
option:
what
do
they
where
they
do
so
their
staff
is
looking
for
direction
on
this,
so
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
mr
gleason
tim.
E
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council
we're
going
to
work
as
you'll
see
on
the
screen
from
the
october
2017
downtown
bloomington
task
force
final
report,
and
this
report
was
not
adopted
and
we're
going
to
hold
on
this
screen
for
a
couple
of
minutes
we've
allocated
for
myself
and
for
economic
development,
director,
melissa
hahn,
15
minutes
and
then
we'll
turn
this
over
to
council
for
a
30-minute
discussion
and,
like
the
mayor
said,
this
is
council,
member
matthews,
council
initiative
and
we're
at
this
point
in
the
council
initiative
process,
where
staff
provide
some
feedback
and
responds
to
some
of
the
questions
that
have
occurred
in
previous
meetings.
E
Regarding
this
council
initiative,
the
final
report
was
submitted
for
consideration
october
2017..
The
downtown
revitalization
was
very
much
a
topic
in
my
city
manager,
recruitment.
Once
I
started
and
the
position
in
july
of
2018.
E
This
was
something
that
I
met
with
the
elected
officials
very
much
a
topic
for
me
to
be
aware
of
because
this
had
just
occurred
six
months
prior
where
the
task
force
completed
their
findings
turned
it
into
a
final
report.
But
it
was
not
approved
by
council
and
I
guess
I
would
categorize
this.
E
Obviously
I
wasn't
here
in
the
fall
of
2017,
but
I
didn't
necessarily
categorize
this
when
I'm
meeting
with
the
elected
officials
individually
as
controversial
just
difference
of
opinion,
and
with
that
I
thought
this
is
a
great
document,
because
I
reviewed
it
and
thought
that
this
was
something
that
I
could
address,
because
council
very
much
placed
a
high
priority
on
the
development
of
our
downtown.
It's
28
blocks
of
historic,
beautiful
charm
and
we
have
opportunities
there.
E
That
council,
I
think,
shared
some
frustration
that
we
study
things
to
potentially
to
nauseum
is
a
term
that
I
had
heard
and
felt
very
much
in
this
document
that
we're
going
to
walk
through
that
there
was
an
opportunity
for
low
to
no
cost
and
what
I
would
categorize
as
low-hanging
fruit.
But
there
were
things
that
I
needed
to
do.
First,
I
needed
to
assess
the
team
of
plays
to
accomplish
these
tasks.
E
E
You
know
that
I
had
you
know
set
for
myself
also
when
I
talk
to
other
downtown
stakeholders,
and
even
some
of
the
members
of
the
dba
is
when
I
first
heard
the
idea
of
formalizing
a
downtown
commissioner
board
that
would
be
appointed
by
the
mayor
potentially
approved
by
the
council
members
and
then
obviously
dba
would
continue
a
very
important
piece
in
all
of
this,
but
they
would
be
an
advisory
component
potentially
to
the
downtown
border
commission.
But
that's
when
I
first
heard
about
this.
So
that's
something
else
potentially
to
consider
in
the
future.
E
I
felt
that
there
were
areas
that
we
were
deficient
but
more
could
be
improved
on
and
created
the
economic
development
department
with
melissa
hahn
as
the
director
and
this
occurred
in
march
of
2019.
city
citywide
function.
Obviously,
but
first
couple
of
years,
heavy
focus
on
the
downtown
and
melissa
definitely
accomplished
that
in
2019
and
except
for
cove
at
19
got
in
the
way
of
some
of
the
plans
that
we
had
for
summer.
E
2020,
but
we're
not
letting
that
get
in
the
way
we're
still
trying
to
do
some
exciting
things
in
our
downtown
if
we
would
phil
advanced
at
the
next
page
this
right
here,
you
look
at
the
members
here.
It
was
a
great
roster
of
people
that
were
made
up
of
this
team
to
work
on
the
downtown
task
force.
So
impressive
group
page
three
phil
the
document
you
will
have
to
the
side.
E
If,
if
it
is
it's
dated
as
a
having
a
shelf
life
of
three
to
five
years,
this
document
was
created
in
the
fall
early
winter
of
2017,
so
actually
we're
approaching
that
three-year
mark.
In
no
opinion,
I
just
am
highlighting
what
the
intended
shelf
life
of
this
document
was.
You'll
see
in
this
page
that
there
are
three
categories
under
place:
making
where
we're
talking
specifically
in
the
area
downtown,
that's
madison
e
street
market
and
front.
It
was
very
targeted
when
this
group
talked
about
these
different
possibilities
in
the
downtown.
E
We
have
the
place-making,
beautification
public
art,
deputy
city
manager.
Tyus
is
actually
working
on
this
public
art
topic
trying
to
formalize
this
process
so
that
there
is
a
protection
that
the
speech
that
we're
communicating
or
the
art
that
we
are
displaying
is
one
that
has
been
vetted
and
approved
by
the
city
council.
E
E
Melissa's
portion
of
this
is
going
to
actually
share
with
community
stuff
that
has
already
occurred.
You
know,
I
mentioned
in
my
opening
comments
that
this
was
a
great
document
for
me
to
use
as
a
template
whether
it
was
adopted,
whether
it
wasn't
adopted
whether
we
tweaked
this
document
today,
whatever
course
council
takes.
This
has
actually
been
what
I've
been
using
the
last
two
years
to
do.
E
Many
of
the
things
that
we've
already
seen
occur
in
the
downtown
and
much
more
to
come
and
much
more
to
come,
because
I
know
that's
the
desire
of
this
elected
body,
and
I
think
the
community
has
been
very
welcoming
to
the
changes
that
we've
seen
over
the
past
couple
of
years.
Next
slide,
please
just
some
different
pictures
and
possibilities
and
examples
was
part
of
this
document.
E
E
Public
parking
is
an
area
that
is
an
ongoing
conversation
for
us
many
opinions
on
opening
the
deck.
You
know
that
that
there
is
a
wide
variety
of
opinions,
which
is
one
reason
last
fall
when
we're
about
ready
to
do
the
striping,
because
we
had
completed
the
downtown
paving
in
some
areas.
We
stopped
that.
E
Kova
definitely
has
got
in
the
way
of
this
city
staff
were
doing
a
downtown
parking
survey.
It's
not
a
complete
document,
because
our
parking
and
driving
patterns
have
changed
dramatically
through
the
course
of
covid.
So
that's
nearly
four
months
now,
but
there's
many
conversations
whether
it's
you
know
a
parking
meter
like
you
see
in
some
of
the
larger
communities
for
the
on
street
parking
or
some
of
the
on-street
parking.
E
The
possibility
to
open
up
our
garages
is
something
else
that's
been
discussed
and
the
idea
is,
employees
have
free
parking,
pushed
them
to
the
parking
decks
and
then
the
consumers
would
be
able
to
park
for
a
period
of
time
in
the
different
parts
of
the
community.
You
know
or
I'm
sorry,
the
downtown,
but
then
also
another
discussion
is
closing
streets.
You
know
lane
closures
also
making
that
more
walkable
walkable.
E
We
also
have
the
outdoor
dining
that
we're
experiencing
now
amitzkovid
and
even
the
angle
of
parking,
while
there
might
have
been
a
best
practice
that
engineering
has
provided,
which
is
exactly
what
they
should
do
for
the
community.
Maybe
there's
an
adjustment
or
something
different
that
the
residents
want
for
downtown
parking.
So
that's
something
else
to
be
considered
as
well.
Next
slide.
E
The
catalyst
project-
this
is
the
one
that
probably
had
the
most
attention
and
a
couple
of
areas
that
I'd
like
to
discuss
that
we
saw
was
we
we've
discussed
the
connect,
transit
downtown
transfer
station
for
bloomington,
and
this
has
been
something
that
connect
transit
has
discussed.
It's
something
that
found
its
way
into
this
document
and
where
we
stand
today
with
connect
transit
and
the
transfer
station
is
actually
they
have
identified
locations
in
the
city
with
council
approval.
E
You
know
it
didn't,
require
any
sort
of
formal
council
approval,
but
with
council
discussion,
we've
offered
up
two
sites
as
potential
sites
for
the
downtown
transfer
station.
Knowing
that
we
have
high
users,
you
know
transit
users.
I
believe
the
study
shows
that
they
are
high
users
of
the
library,
the
law
and
justice
center
for
mclean
county,
the
bloomington
police
department,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
city
hall
itself
109
east
olive
street
has
been
offered
up
as
a
possibility,
and
also
another
area
is
market
street
garage
as
a
possibility.
E
So
these
are
these
are
areas
that
are
yet
to
be
determined
in
connect
transit.
I
believe,
with
their
consultant,
expect
to
have
a
completed
document
to
start
sharing
publicly
on
what
the
final
locations-
let's
say,
the
top
two
or
three
will
make
its
way
to
the
public.
I
believe
that
will
be
in
august
next
month,
so
it's
coming
very
soon.
Next
slide.
E
E
I've
had
several
meetings
with
them
and,
along
with
the
elected
officials,
and
we
feel
that
the
solution
lies
right
in
the
space
that
they
currently
are,
and
there
are
so
many
possibilities
that
we
fill
for
expansion,
so
maybe
the
30
million
32
million
dollar
new
location,
new
building
that
had
been
previously
discussed
might
not
fit
for
the
community
right
now
in
terms
of
fit.
I'm
talking
about
the
cost,
a
change
in
a
location
and
a
more
modest
expansion
of
very
much,
not
shortchanging.
E
The
the
employees
not
shortchanging
the
residence,
but
a
modest
expansion
to
meet
all
of
those
needs
where
it's
an
improvement
of
the
facility
itself,
because
it
does
need
to
be
improved
and
then
also
additional
space
to
meet
the
community
needs.
Do
we
have
that
possibility
in
the
current
location
and
that's
exactly
what
the
bloomington
library
is
working
through
a
process
with
their
consultants?
E
Currently,
we
have
an
expanded
parking
opportunity:
jackson
street
that
runs
east
west,
maybe
there's
a
potential
for
that
to
be
vacated,
but
again
the
opportunity
possibly
lies
right
in
the
space
that
they're
currently
at,
but
this
was
very
much
a
topic
and
a
consideration
that
was
in
this
downtown
task
force
document
next
slide.
Please.
E
Is
there
one
more
fill,
and
here
we
go?
I
got
the
conclusion
and
what
I've
done
just
to
recap
and
I'll
turn
my
time
over
to
or
turn
this
over
to
melissa
here
in
a
minute
to
walk
through
what
we
have
actually
accomplished
in
the
downtown
that
the
credit
truly
goes
to
the
elected
officials
and
also
this
document
that
really
has
been
used
as
a
template
and
where
we
go
next
on
a
document.
That's
nearly
three
years
old
portions
of
the
document.
E
There
is
tremendous
support
I
believe
in
talking
with
the
elected
officials
that
will
be
up
to
you,
but
I
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
few
minutes
to
walk
through
the
task
force
document,
the
16
pages
of
it
that
I
think
everybody
is
well
versed
in
even
in
the
community
and
then
also
turn
this
over
at
this
time
to
melissa
hahn
the
economic
development
director
to
share
the
accomplishments,
melissa.
R
R
This
is
not
an
all-encompassing
list,
but
we're
trying
to
hit
on
some
of
the
highlights
over
the
last
year.
The
first
one
being
is:
is
the
task
force
report
recommended
for
the
parks
department
to
make
some
improvements
in
our
public
areas
downtown,
including
the
law
and
justice
center,
and
so
that
was
completed
in
the
spring
summer
of
2019.
The
parks
department
was
able
to
make
those
landscaping
improvements
in
front
of
the
law
and
justice
center
and
then
also
along
front
street.
R
With
the
improvements
there
and
the
raised
planter
beds,
we
were
able
to
add
some
additional
landscaping
there
as
well.
Also,
we
do
use
the
public
space
on
the
museum
property
as
much
as
we
possibly
can
as
well
for
the
farmers
market
in
different
events
that
we
have
around
the
square,
so
we're
very
grateful
for
any
green
space
that
we
get
downtown
and
try
to
use
it.
The
best
that
we
can.
R
The
next
item
was
that
the
public
works
department
was
able
to
complete
the
front
street
streetscape
improvements,
including
installation
of
additional
electric
conduit
along
there,
where
opportunity
allowed.
There
were
two
additional
conduits
and
empty
conduits
installed
for
future
electrical
usage
for
the
decorative
lighting,
as
well
as
other
amenities
that
we
will
be
able
to
install
downtown
as
funding
allows.
So
that
was
done
once
again
in
that
summer
of
2019.
R
throughout
the
time
when
the
the
season
has
allowed
sidewalk
and
ada
ramp.
Improvements
have
been
made
throughout
the
downtown,
as
well
as
resurfacing
of
main
street,
from
front
to
mulberry
and
monroe
street,
from
madison
to
east
and
once
again
with
those
improvements,
public
works
were
able
to
go
in
and
add
some
additional
spare
empty
conduit
for
when
we
have
the
opportunity
to
do
addition,
additional
electric
decorative
street
lighting
and
in
order
to
allow
for
addition
of
more
outlets
for
us
to
use
throughout
the
downtown
we're
also
installed.
R
High
visibility,
crosswalk
and
signage
was
installed
at
center
street
and
monroe
with
some
pedestrian
signage
for
that
intersection.
I
know
it's
been
an
area
of
concern
for
downtown
business
owners
and
residents
as
well,
so
we
were
able
to
get
that
installed.
Also
in
2019,
we
were
able
to
expand
the
holiday
decorations
throughout
15
blocks
of
the
downtown.
R
So
we
added
some
additional
new
things
and
then
also
expanded
where
we
had
holiday
decorations
in
the
downtown,
and
we
hope
to
continue
that
once
again
as
funding
allows
to
make
it
quite
the
occasion
down
there
during
the
holidays.
R
We
also
purchased
and
installed
94
self-watering
planters
throughout
the
last
year
to
help
cut
down
on
the
need
for
staff
to
go
down,
and
water
and
they've
worked
out
very
well
we're
very
happy
with
them
and
it's
definitely
improved
the
look
and
feel
of
downtown.
R
We
also
installed
new
spring
and
summer
banners
this
season,
so
hopefully
you've
been
able
to
get
down
there
and
see
those
trying
to
brighten
things
up.
We
hope
to
have
them
sooner,
but
ovid
cove
had
slowed
us
down
a
little
bit,
but
we
were
able
to
get
those
done
and
we'll
continue
to
change
those
out
with
the
seasons
we're
continuing
to
provide
power
washing
of
the
sidewalks
in
the
spring
summer
of
every
year,
and
then
also
we
have
expanded
our
partnership
with
mark
first
for
litter
and
leaf
cleanup
throughout
the
year.
R
Programming
was
another
thing
that
was
noted
in
the
report,
and
so
to
that
we
did
held
56
events
in
2019.
That
was
in
the
calendar
year.
We
had
57
events
scheduled
for
2020.
We
were
very
excited
had
some
new
things
coming
and,
unfortunately,
kovit
kind
of
held
us
back
a
little
there.
So
we're
hoping
to
continue
that
as
soon
as
we
can,
we
did
expanded
programming
at
the
farmers
market.
We
average
about
three
thousand
patrons
downtown
during
the
summer
months.
R
You
know
we're
out
there
every
saturday
with
the
farmers
market,
and
we
were
also
able
to
develop
curdside
farmers
market
to
facilitate
an
online
store
with
curbside
pickup
during
covid19,
which
has
been
a
great
benefit
to
our
farmers
as
as
well
as
the
businesses
downtown.
We
also
partnered,
with
public
works,
to
install
a
new
electrical
outlets
at
the
base
of
the
decorative
lighting.
Around
the
square,
this
will
help
our
farmers
market
vendors,
as
well
as
providing
better
accessibility.
R
When
we're
having
events
when
we
can't
have
events
on
the
square
again,
we
also
applied
for
a
bloomberg
asphalt,
grant
on
a
route
66,
parklift
downtown
and
we've
coordinated
with
businesses
to
utilize
parklets
during
special
events
and
then
also
with
the
outdoor
dining
during
covid
for
outreach
and
advertising.
We've
improved
our
social
media
presence
for
the
downtown
we've
got
about
a
thousand
new
followers
on
multiple
channels
and
platforms.
R
We've
also
updated
our
marketing
materials,
which
includes
new
kiosk
inserts,
as
well
as
a
new
downtown
wayfinding
map,
and
also
a
new
visitor's
guide,
which
I
hope,
you've
all
had
the
opportunity
to
look
at
it's
on
a
flip
book
on
the
downtown
bloomington
website.
So,
if
you
haven't,
please
check
that
out.
It's
a
great
guide
for
our
downtown
we've.
Also
increased
advertising
through
our
billboards,
connect,
connect,
transit
bus
banners,
geo,
fencing
and
social
media
in
regards
to
public
parking.
R
Once
that
started
to
begin
with
covid
and
the
shutdown
we
were
able
to
make
that
accommodation
for
a
lot
of
our
business
owners
and
we've
received
great
feedback,
and
some
of
them
would
like
to
continue
that
even
beyond
covid,
because
it's
worked
out
really
well
for
them
and
provided
a
new
opportunity
for
their
business.
We
also
coordinated
with
public
works,
to
facilitate
the
expanded
outdoor
dining
and
have
conducted
a
downtown
parking
survey
of
business
owners,
residents
and
visitors.
R
This
will
information
will
be
provided
in
addition
to
the
parking
study
that
the
facilities
department
is
also
currently
working
on.
So
those
were
some
of
our
accomplishments,
and
here
are
some
things
that
we
are
still
currently
working
on
that
we're
looking
forward
to
complete
in
2020..
The
first
is
a
new
downtown
website.
R
It's
definitely
on
a
platform.
That's
reached
its
its
final
days,
so
we're
looking
forward
to
that.
Having
a
much
more
user-friendly,
downtown
website,
make
it
easier
for
people
to
navigate
and
and
bring
people
downtown.
R
We're
also
looking
to
implement
a
downtown
parklet
program
for
businesses
that
will
be
available
every
year
and
just
a
reoccurring
thing,
as
we
do
with
a
lot
of
our
other
type
of
outdoor
cafes
and
things.
We're
also
going
to
update
the
amenities
and
the
electrical
such
as
the
decorative
lighting
as
funding
allows.
So
as
we're
able
to
do
that
when
we
have
funding
available,
we
are
looking
at
those
opportunities,
as
well
as
the
addition
of
the
wayfinding
signage
currently
being
installed.
R
We
are
also
looking
at
painted
crosswalks.
We
had
hoped
this
summer
we
were
going
to
have
some
of
the
crosswalks
painted
in
a
couple
different
designs
and
have
people
come
down
and
vote
on
them
while
they
were
coming
down
for
events.
Unfortunately,
since
we've
not
been
able
to
have
those
events
to
have
people
downtown
looking
at
them,
we
put
that
on
hold.
For
the
time
being,
we
really
want
to
give
the
public
an
opportunity
to
vote
on
the
type
of
design
and
color
that
they
would
like
to
have
in
the
crosswalks
downtown.
R
So
we
look
forward
to
making
that
available
as
soon
as
we
can
have
more
people
downtown.
We're
also
looking
to
continue
to
expand
the
outdoor,
dining
opportunities
with
the
parklip
program
and
other
potential
ideas,
as
well
as
new,
upgraded
dual
trash
and
recycling
bins.
Once
again,
as
funding
allows,
we
look
to
update
and
improve
those
amenities
throughout
the
downtown
to
increase
beautification,
and
that
will
include
some
additional
wayfinding
kiosks.
R
One
of
the
recommendations
of
the
report
was
to
provide
canopy
lighting
downtown,
which
we're
very
excited
about,
but
we
had
reached
out
to
some
of
the
property
owners
who
were
not
interested
in
us
connecting
lighting
to
their
building.
So
we
are
looking
at
some
alternatives
to
some
new,
updated
new
and
improved
decorative
lighting
throughout
the
downtown.
So
we're
very
excited
on
those
things
that
we
have
coming
up
for
throughout
throughout
the
next
year,
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
any
questions.
A
Questions
at
this
point
questions
commentary
we're
going
to
start
with
council
member
carrillo
and
then
matthew.
I
Thanks
a
lot
yeah
and
thank
you
for
that
presentation
that
was
super
super
helpful
and
I
think
what
a
lot
of
folks
told
me
they
were
hungry
for
was
revisiting
that
report
and
seeing
what
are
those
things
we
had
checked
off
the
list
and
what
things
are
still
in
the
works.
I
So
I
guess
first
a
question
around
a
process
question
about
how
this
is
going
to
come
back
to
council,
and
so
I
guess
my
question
is:
if
we're
approving
and
accepting
the
downtown
report,
does
that
mean
we
are
basically
co-signing
on
all
of
the
recommendations
included
in
the
report
or
we
are
picking
this
up
as
a
as
a
starting
point?
Just
so
just
that.
A
A
It
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
we're
committing
to
any
specific
dollar
amounts
and
any
one
of
those
would
have
to
be
approved
by
the
council
as
we
go
forward
or
if
somebody
in
our
tif
district
in
in
downtown
came
in
and
said,
hey,
I'm
gonna
put
in
a
50
million
dollar
hotel
and
whatever
I
need.
I
want
these
kinds
of
incentives
through
the
tiff
money
that
all
has
to
be
approved
by
council.
So
this
is
really
just
and
again
we're
not
voting
tonight.
Exactly
we're
we're
not
that
those
are
plans.
A
Plans
are
always
subject
to
some
move
and
loosey-goosey
changing.
Mr
gleason.
Do
you
want
anything
to
that?
Is
that
I
I
know
I
I'm
I'm
a
little
more
loosey-goosey
in
using
my
language
than
you
are,
but
tim.
E
I
Yeah,
so
just
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
that
we're
basically
accepting
the
work
of
this
committee
and
accepting
the
report
that
they
presented
to
us,
but
that
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
every
single
one
of
the
recommendations
are
things
that
we're
going
to
move
forward
on
without
bringing
back
to
a
public
discussion,
because
I've
gotten
that
question.
I
guess
the
second
question
is
from
melissa.
I
So
I
heard
you
say
several
times
as
funding
allows,
and
I
am
you
know,
I
get
a
lot
of
emails
with
folks
asking
like
why
we
aren't
moving
faster,
why
we
aren't
doing
more,
and
so
I
just
want
to
get
your
perspective.
What
do
you
think
are
the
primary
barriers
to
us
getting
more
done
downtown,
in
other
words
like?
What's
keeping
us
from
being
able
to
do
more
faster.
R
So
I
think
it
goes
to
the
question
of
more
and
what
what
that
entails.
So,
for
instance,
you
know
with
the
new
wayfinding
signage
going
along
center.
We
looked
at
there's
really
not
anything
beyond
that.
You
know
we
really
that
the
decorative
lighting
hasn't
been
installed.
There
hasn't
been
a
lot
of
of
trees
planted
and
so
for
any
of
those
types
of
projects.
R
It's
not
something
that
we've
necessarily
got
the
money
currently
in
the
budget
for
us
to
do
those
things.
So
you
know,
as
we
have
funding
that's
available
for
those
types
of
of
projects,
then
then
we
will
move
to
you
know
when
we
are
doing
the
resurfacing
or
installing
the
wayfinding.
We
would
be
able
to
put
those
the
decorative
lighting
and
an
additional
amenities
throughout
the
downtown.
I
Is
probably
the
primary
barrier,
and-
and
I
ask
because
you
know
I
do
get
those
questions
and
I
think
it's
important
for
downtown
stakeholders
to
know
what
to
advocate
for
right,
so
is
is
the
problem
that
we
don't
have
agreement
or
consensus
on
the
council
about
the
direction
going
forward.
So
is
it
a
political
problem?
Is
it
a
funding
problem
because
you
know,
I
think
folks
want
clarity
as
to
like?
Where
should
they
get
to
work
if
they
want
to
see
more
significant
improvements
in
our
downtown?
I
So
I
appreciate
that
I
guess
the
last
question
is
again
going
back
to
process.
You
know
I've
already
committed
to
to
support
us
receiving
this.
I
think
it's,
the
least
that
we
can
do
to
acknowledge
the
tremendous
amount
of
work
that
went
into
putting
it
together
by
so
many
bright
people
who
volunteered
to
do
this.
I
guess
my
only
source
of
tension
and
conflict
is
like
that.
I
We
are
closer
to
the
three-year
mark
on
that
shelf
life
and
that
it
feels,
like
you
know,
we're
starting
at
a
deficit
in
that
you
know
we
should
have
adopted
this
years
ago.
Folks,
who
are
saying
yes,
we
should
adopt
this
as
a
first
step,
and
I've
got
folks
who
are
saying
like
we
should
just
do
this
process
all
over,
and
so
I
guess
I'm
curious
to
hear
from
tim
and
and
just
the
staff
like
whether
you
feel
this
is
a
good
starting
point
for
us
to
like
build
upon.
E
E
This
is
an
area
that
you
know
the
projects
that
we
talk
about,
and
I
think
that
this
was
one
of
the
bigger
reasons
for
councilman
matthews
council
initiative
was
to
discuss
and
prioritize
this.
I
think
he
is
going
to
speak
next,
but
this
was
a
priority
for
us.
We
knew
that
we
needed
to
find
funding
to
do
some
of
the
things
that
we
were
talking
about
downtown
so
with
our
state
representatives,
so
senator
bill,
brady,
senator
jason,
barrickman,
definitely
representative
dan
brady
and
representative
keith
summer.
E
That
was
one
of
our
capital
project,
asks
that
we
made
last
year
for
sort
of
a
global
high
level
allowance
and
the
ask
was
three
and
a
half
million
well
an
interesting
number
three
and
a
half
million
over
the
course
of
five
different
projects
are
appropriated
now
for
the
city
of
bloomington
in
the
state
of
illinois
fy21
budget.
Now
it's
for
infrastructure
can
be
used
different
locations
throughout
the
state,
but
I
think
our
our
ask
has
been
heard
because
that
number
is
identical
to
what
the
infrastructure
I'm
sorry.
E
The
capital
project
asked
was
so
again,
and
I
know
that
alderman
matthew
is
going
to
speak
next,
but
we
we
just
look
to
council
to
make
that
decision,
whether
it's
the
adoption
of
this,
whether
you
pull
out
two
or
three
projects-
and
you
say,
city
manager-
you
make
this
happen,
that's
what
we
look
for.
You
know
maybe
this
evening
or
follow-up
conversations.
What
are
the
priorities
and
whatever
you
adopt
again,
you
know
that
that's
up
to
you,
mayor.
A
Council
member
yeah,
thank
you
so
much,
mr
police,
and
I
do
certainly
very
much
appreciate
that.
Obviously,
this
is
a
a
step
forward
to
being
somewhat
more
strategic
in
the
things
that
came
out
about
this.
It
doesn't
mean
that
it's
necessarily
immediately
up
to
date,
but
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
go
to
council
member
matthew.
Since
it's
your
initiative
and
you're,
I
see
your
hand
up
we'll,
go
mathy,
emig
and
painter
jamie
thanks.
L
Mayor
so
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
wanted
to
bring
this
back
is
you
know:
I've
been
kind
of
involved
in
stuff
with
the
city
of
bloomington,
as
both
direct
and
indirect
participant
for
about
16
years
and
12
of
those
years.
Downtown
was
listed
as
a
top
five
priority
for
the
city
council
over
and
over
and
over
again,
and
nothing
happened
for
for,
like
12
of
those
years
or
or
very
very
little
happened
during
that
12-year
period
of
time.
L
You
know
I
do
appreciate
the
report
from
melissa
and
tim,
because
more
has
happened
downtown
in
the
last
two
years
than
you
know,
many
for
well
a
decade
and
a
half
prior.
So
I
really
appreciate
all
the
stuff
that
we've
gotten
done.
Downtown
continues
to
be
a
growing
tourist
destination.
L
I
was
walking
through
downtown
this
morning
and
a
couple
asked
me
for
directions
and
they're
from
washington
dc,
and
I
don't
know
that
I
agree
with
them
that
they
decided
that
cove
at
19
was
a
great
time
to
drive
all
of
route
66,
but
they're
doing
it
anyway,
and
so
they
were
in
town
today
in
bloomington
as
part
of
their
trip.
They're
going
all
the
way
to
california,
I'm
not
sure,
that's
the
destination.
I
want
either
right
now,
but
hey
power
to
them,
but
I've.
L
I've
talked
to
people
from
poland,
from
russia,
from
germany
from
all
over
the
united
states
that
are
stopping
here
as
part
of
their
route.
66
experience,
so
that's
growing,
I
think
downtown
is
increasingly
a
or
has
been
for
years,
a
small
business
incubator.
L
Many
companies
that
started
downtown
that
have
moved
to
other
locations
around
the
city
as
they
outgrew
and
needed
bigger
spaces,
and
I
think
that
it's
a
it's
a
home
for
many
many
people,
you
know
estimates
say
between
800
and
a
thousand
people
live
downtown
and
I
love
to
see
the
progress
we're
doing.
I
just
I
was
bringing
the
report
back
to
make
sure
that
that
focus
stays
there.
You
know,
if
there's
different
directions,
we
want
to
move
forward
where
we
can
keep
the
focus
going
forward.
That's
awesome!
L
After
the
rest
of
you
write
it,
and
I
think
some
of
the
big
pieces
for
me
that
are
still
outstanding
you
know,
a
priority
for
me
is
streetscaping
is
one
of
the
huge
things
because
it
lends
to
the
tourism
it
lends
to
the
business
and
it
lends
to
the
the
sense
of
home,
and
we,
we
had
one
rough
streetscaping
plan
from
a
few
years
ago,
which
involved
putting
trees
in,
and
we
put
some
decorative
lights
in
and
the
decorative
lights
made
it
and
we
got
some
trees
and
it's
better,
but
the
default
in
downtown
is
still
asphalt
and
cement
and
at
a
certain
point
you
know
one
of
the
re.
L
One
of
the
things
in
the
report
is
that
we
wanted
to
declare
the
entire
downtown
as
a
park.
The
reason
for
that
was,
you
know,
to
increase,
plantings
and
see
a
change
as
we
do
projects
and
as
we
make
repairs
to
see
a
change
where,
instead
of
we
fix
something,
and
then
we
pour
some
new
cement,
can
we
fix
something
and
then
incorporate
that
into
a
new
bed
of
plantings
of
flowers?
Of
of
you
know,
perennials
that
are
coming
back.
Every
year
automatically,
how
do
we
take
that
next
step?
L
I
think
covet
19
has
offered
us
some
unique
perspectives
as
well
in
the
fact
that
now
we
see
what
it
looks
like
when
we've
closed
down
some
places
where
we've
closed
down
an
entire
lane,
and
you
know
all
the
people
that
were
shouting
doom
and
gloom
of
oh,
my
gosh,
you
can't
close
down
a
lane
of
traffic
because
nothing's
going
to
work
right.
It's
working
great
one
of
the
attorneys
stopped
me
the
other
day
to
say
that
he
feels
like
with
the
outdoor,
dining
and
seating
and
the
bars
that
are
out
there.
L
So
the
the
outdoor
activities
have
been
simply
amazing,
and
you
know
one
of
the
things
so
I'd
say
streetscaping
is
a
major
goal
for
me
and
then
I
know
that
it
seems
weird
and
I
keep
bringing
up
electrical
conduit,
but
there's
a
a
couple
of
really
important
reasons
for
that
and
one
of
the
biggest
ones
is
we
have
this
this
company
in
town
that
has
just
got
a
two
and
a
half
billion
dollar
additional
round
of
funding
to
build
electric
vehicles
in
bloomington
and
we've
got.
L
I
think,
three
charging
stations
across
two
different
garages
that
I'm
aware
of
there's
we're
gonna
get
to
a
point
at
some
point
in
the
future.
Where
we're
gonna
need
to
say
hey,
we
should
put
some
electrical
charging
stations
next
to
the
museum
because
it's
a
tourist
destination,
as
I
talked
about
before-
and
you
know
we're
going
to
need
additional
lighting,
and
you
know
things
like
canopies
and
everything
else
that
we're
doing
so.
L
I
don't
know
I
guess
I'll
stop
talking,
but
I
I
think
that
downtown
development
division,
economic
development
is
doing
an
amazing
job.
I
think
some
of
the
ordinance
changes
that
we're
looking
at
for
parklets
and
outdoor
events
on
a
more
permanent
basis
are
going
to
help,
but
the
the
streetscaping
and
parking
are
two
big
areas
that
I
want
to
see
us
keep
driving
forward
on
and
of
course,
then
we
need
to
plug
in
the
connect
transit
wherever
whenever
they
finish,
their
recommendations
cough
cough.
Take
it
three
and
a
half
years.
L
What's
going
on
cough
cough,
so
yeah,
but
thank
you
everybody
for
humoring
me
and
listening
and
let's
keep
rocking
it
forward.
M
Yes,
thank
you
and
thanks
council
council
person
matthew
for
bringing
this
back
up,
and
I
appreciate
the
report
from
city
staff.
It
was
really
nice
to
to
hear
again
all
emphasized
that
we've
accomplished.
M
I
I'm
not
the
only
one
on
council
who's,
a
fan
of
strong
towns
and
while
they
advocate
for
small
incremental
change
by
many
hands,
they
also
suggest
when
you
develop
a
strategic
plan,
which
is
what
this
is
that
you
also
you
find
opportunities
for
some
big
aspirational
change,
and
I
like
that,
this
plan
embodies
both
that
we've
already
gotten
started
on
it.
The
city
staff
have
already
pushed
it
forward.
M
M
I
like
that
there's
an
opportunity
to
to
think
about
what's
in
section
four,
not
the
catalyst
project,
necessarily
that
was
recommended,
but
I
don't
see
in
the
plan
that
it's
committing
us
to
a
catalyst
project.
It
creates
a
framework
that
can
guide
future
action.
M
Indeed,
it
states,
if
inclusion
of
the
library
in
this
project
is
not
feasible
or
desirable.
The
city
could
alternate,
alternatively,
consider
a
mixed
use
facility,
and
this
is
in
reference
to
market
street
garage,
including
housing
or
office
space,
and
I
also
would
say
that
it
might
be
useful
to
look
at
the
concerns
that
surface
from
this
group.
Given
library
expansion,
recommendations
just
to
be
more
informed
about,
you
know
how
we're
going
to
go
forward
to
implement
this
approach.
M
So
I'm
very
much
in
favor
of
this
plan
and
I've
spoken
with
many
many
downtown
business
owners
and
residents,
and
they
are
very
glad
to
see
it
come
back
and
really
are
suggesting
strongly
that
this
council
put
put
the
plan
into
the
you
know,
rear
view
mirror
we
passed
it
now
we're
ready
to
to
move
forward.
Thank
you.
Q
Member
painter,
thank
you
and
thank
you,
everyone
for
your
input.
I've
really
appreciated
this
whole
discussion.
Thank
you,
jamie
for
bringing
it
forward.
Q
You
know,
thriving
downtowns
are
an
economic
driver
and
crumbling
downtowns
are
a
tax
dollar
money
pit
and
with
the
mall
closing
down,
I
think
it
behooves
us
to
put
a
lot
of
attention
into
downtown.
I
am
very
much
in
favor
of
this
plan.
I
think
that
we
need
to
adopt
it
and
then
we
need
to
set
our
priorities
and
in
the
next
budget
cycle
we
need
to
budget
for
it.
Q
We
need
to
lay
out
a
plan
on
how
we're
going
to
pay
for
it
and
I'm
not
really
sure
where
covet
is
going
to
take
us
on
this,
but
that
shouldn't
stop
us
from
at
least
making
a
plan.
I
think
it's
really
a
good
thing
and
a
good
platitude
to
plan
your
work
and
work.
Your
plan,
that's
the
way
you
get
there,
so
I'm
very
much
in
favor
of
this,
and
I
am
voting
in
in
favor
of
accepting
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
B
One
thing
I
want
to
be
careful
with
is
to
not
add
too
much.
I
want
to
focus
on
the
the
infrastructure
of
the
historic
buildings.
I
don't
want
to
camouflage
them
with
a
lot
of
what
I
would
call
frou-frou.
B
A
You
so
much
council,
member
bowlin
and
at
this
point
council
we
we
are
getting
to
the
point
of
running
out
of
time.
I
think
council,
member
matthew,
you
have
your
hand
up,
but
that
may
have
been
an
old
hand.
So
I'm
going
to
go
to
council
member
bray
in
middle
of
wombway
and
would
ask
us
to
be
his
expeditious
if
possible.
If
we
need
to
extend
the
time,
then
fine,
so
councilmember,
bray.
H
So
thank
you
mayor
and
just
some
reactions
or
thoughts.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
the
downtown
task
force.
H
I
was
a
matter
of
the
committee
and
certainly
it
was
a
lot
of
sessions
and
discussions
on
what
were
some
good
ideas
for
where
we
were
in
the
town
at
the
time
in
our
city
at
the
time
and
what
were
the
things
that
we
needed
to
really
focus
on
and
so
like
matthew,
who
also
served
on
the
task
force
with
me
just
so
excited,
and-
and
thank
you
to
melissa
hahn
and
her
group
that
they've
worked
with
this
as
a
a
resource
and
and
moved
forward
into
the
spaces
that
we
were
really
excited
about
some
of
the
ideas
that
are
they're
there,
we've
grown
past.
H
H
We
we
also
have
the
connect
transit
study
coming
our
way
very
soon,
as
mentioned,
and
so
the
idea
about
the
market
street
garage
catalyst
project
has
has
has
kind
of
moved
on
if
you
will
so
that
that's
that's
dated,
but
I
I'm
supportive
of
pushing
forward
as
alderman
matthew
made
mention
of
pulling
out
pieces
of
this
report
and
getting
some
focus
around
the
streetscaping
and
the
lighting
solving
for
our
parking
and
then
I
think,
there's
new
ideas
servicing
I
too
have
had
conversations
and
had
input
for
from
from
citizens,
and
there
are
some
really
exciting
opportunities
to
think
about
architectural
I'll
call
it
an
architectural
commission,
that's
a
common
thing
that
you
see.
H
Now
I
don't
I
don't
recall
us
having
the
opportunity
and
jamie
please
get
me
on-
is
having
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
that
or
or
incorporate
that
into
our
thoughts
at
the
time.
So
I'm
ready,
as
several
have
said,
to
move
forward.
I
don't,
I
don't
think
you
know
kind
of
hamstringing
ourselves
with
what
ideas
from
three
years
ago
is
the
best
way
to
go.
H
I
think
we
pivot
into
what's:
what's
next,
we
pull
out
what's
left
over
and,
and
we
come
up
with
some
some
really
good
ideas
as
we
move
forward,
and
so
again
I
appreciate
that
we
now
have
a
structure
in
place
of
the
city.
To
do
this,
we
have
our
our
economic
development
division
and
with
our
focus
on
the
downtown
and
and
so
that
that
would
be
my
thought
and
how
we
would
get
get
this
important
work
done
I'll
stop
there.
Thank
you.
A
Councilmember
and
then
councilmember
wombway.
K
Okay,
thank
you.
I
I
want
to
take
a
moment
also
to
to
thank
those
members
of
the
council
and
the
community
who
participated
in
this
important
work.
I
know
that
it's
time
that
they
will
never
get
back,
but
you
know
it's
definitely
very
very
appreciated.
K
D
K
Had
seen
being
on
the
council
for
all
these
years
was
that
the
the
downtown
was
everybody's
problem
and
nobody's
problem
at
the
same
time.
So
I
think
by
now
having
a
downtown
economic
development
division
or
someone
whose
clear
focus
is
on
that
is
extremely
helpful,
and
I
think
that's
why
we're
we're
sitting
here
today
and
having
talked
about
some
of
the
successes
and
similarly
to
what's
been
said
earlier
by
council
member
matthew
and
as
well
as
councilmember
gray.
K
I
I
think
you
know,
in
the
spirit
of
even
more
success,
is
for
us
to
kind
of
pull
out
those
elements
that
we
can
work
on
right
away
and
and
try
to
make
progress,
because
I
I
do
think
a
lot
of
these
plans
sometimes
are
daunting
and
that's
why
they
sit
on
the
shelves.
So,
let's
figure
out
what
it
is
that
we
can
do
and
address
right
away
those
small
manageable
pieces
and
then
before
we
know
it
and
we'll
have
something
much
bigger
to
celebrate.
So
that's.
A
It
whoops,
oh
sorry,
my
bulka,
so
at
this
point
I'm
assuming
the
direction
that
we
have
is
seems
to
be
because
we're
not
doing
a
vote
approval,
but
maybe,
as
this
is
brought
back
to
us,
if
there
are
some
obvious
things
that
are
no
longer
relevant
relocation
of
library
and
maybe
some
things
that
maybe
we've
already
accomplished,
those
could
be
somewhat
surgically
removed.
A
Sounds
like
that
at
that
this
point
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
item,
because
we
don't
act
on
that
to
item
c
and
this
I
gather,
is
a
a
pretty
quick
housekeeping
chore.
It's
consideration
and
potential
action
regarding
ordinance,
2020-18,
an
ordinance
declaring
a
local
emergency
due
to
the
cobit
virus,
as
requested
by
the
legal
department.
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
tim
gleason
and
at
this
point,
he's
not
recommending
any
modifications,
but
he
has
five
minutes
and
we
have
five
minutes
to
respond.
A
No
updates
at
all,
okay,
any
questions
of
mr
gleason
on
on
the
covet
situation.
I
don't
see
any
so.
Mr
gleason,
you
still
have
the
floor.
B
Yeah
the
only
question
I
have
since
we're
in
phase
four
and
there's
no
nothing
in
the
near
future.
That
says
we're
gonna
move
into
phase
five.
How
long
is
this
ordinance
really
going
to
stay
in
place?
Can
we
begin
to
set
it
aside?
I
guess
that's
my
question,
mr.
A
E
My
recommendation
would
be
that
it
remain
until
we
truly
are
in
phase
five.
I
don't
see
many
changes
that
will
occur
in
phase
four,
but
they
could,
but
I
do
think
it
appropriate
for
it
to
remain.
O
Yes,
I
wanted
to
ask-
and
I
emailed
you
back
and
forth
a
little
bit
tim
about
this
with
regard
to
ada
compliance
with
the
outdoor
dining
and
just
looking
at
the
outdoor,
dining
and
bar
service
operation
rules
which
require
ada
compliance,
and
I
know
that
for
a
lot
of
places.
O
That's
that's
not
the
case
and
and
if
you
could
talk
about
how
we're
we're
trying
to
work
with
the
business
businesses
to
make
them
compliant-
and
I
think
that
has
to
do
with
you-
know-
ramps
to
the
outs,
outdoor
dining
areas,
proper
level
heights
on
tables.
That
type
of
thing.
E
Yeah,
thank
you
in
in
my
comments.
I
I
probably
covered
this
a
little
bit
too
quickly
under
the
covid
comments
earlier,
but
this
is
an
area
that
staff
you
know
we.
We
stood
this
up
amitzkova
to
provide
for
the
outdoor
drive
up
service
that
then
turned
into
outdoor
dining,
and
we
have
staff
that
are
assessing
what
some
of
the
ada
challenges
are
and
then
the
opportunities
you
know
so
under
the
covid,
you
know
try
to
find
the
opportunities
that
we
have
in
the
cdbg
funds.
E
The
cares
fund
the
155
000
for
businesses,
while
there
might
be
fixes
in
the
interim
for
outdoor
dining.
This
could
also
lend
itself
to
a
longer
permanent
type
of
solution
to
provide
some
of
the
ada
ramps
that
businesses
might
not
have
been
able
to
pay
for
previously
and
were
grandfathered.
I
mean
well
within
their
right
not
to
provide
that
but
trying
to
create
a
more
accessible
and
welcoming
downtown.
This
is
all
part
of
it
and
trying
to
seize
an
opportunity
amidst
covet.
E
S
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
no,
I
wouldn't.
I
know
that
staff
has
actually
been
going,
not
just
through
the
downtown,
but
also
citywide,
as
we
want
to
make
sure
that
any
accessibility
improvements
are
covered,
citywide,
we're
studying
that
they
will
come
back
with
what
they
find
and
then
we're
going
to
work
directly
with
the
business
owners.
S
L
Keep
trying
to
skip
me
mayor
tim,
I
was
just
going
to
say
not
just
downtown,
but
the
whole
city,
I'm
hearing
a
lot
of
people
commenting
on
how
much
they
like
this
new
shift
to
outdoor
dining-
and
I
just
was
thinking
that
it
might
be
worth
looking
at
what
do
do
we
need
to
do
something
from
a
long-term
zoning
perspective?
L
I
know
that
some
of
that
probably
drops
onto
the
lap
of
the
mclean
county
health
department
at
some
point
too,
but
is
there
things
that
we
can
do
to
make
the
zoning
easier
to
make
outdoor
dining
places
a
lot
easier
for
even
the
temporary
ones
like
we
have
tents
and
stuff
right
now
to
make
that
easier
for
restaurants
and
bars
to
do
after?
E
Yeah,
I
think
we
know
that
this
is
going
to
turn
into
something
permanent
and
and
again
I'll,
go
back
to
the
document
that
we
were
talking
about
earlier
on
the
downtown
task
force.
You
know
the
there
were
components
of
this
that
we
we
thought
that
there
was
an
opportunity
to
seize
an
opportunity.
I
should
say
amitsgovin
fully
expect
that
this
is
going
to
have
so
much
support
that
it's
going
to
turn
into
a
permanent
opportunity
for
downtown
different
parts
of
the
community
and
and
I'll
say
very
candidly.
E
You
know
this
phase
four
and
actually
to
the
question
that
all
or
one
alderwoman
bowling
asked
about
the
emergency
order.
You
know,
I
think
that
we're
gonna
be
in
phase
four
for
quite
some
time,
I'm
going
to
use
that
to
my
advantage
so
that
we
can
continue
working
towards
what
downtown
outdoor
eating
looks
like
and
opportunities
post
cove
at
19..
E
So
we
are
actively
working
towards
that
jamie
and
that's
something
that
actually
deputy
city
manager
tyus.
It's
a
priority
for
him.
L
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
just
looking
at
just
at
downtown.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
eat,
you
know
kind
of
like
in
a
tent
that
was
set
up
on
one
of
the
restaurants
out
off
of
veterans
parkway,
and
it
was.
It
was
great
sitting
out
there,
nice
breeze,
good
weather
and
everything,
and
we
just
really
enjoyed
that
in
an
area
that
is
traditional
parking
lot
right.
L
So
they
it
was
a
it's
an
older
building
where
this
restaurant
is
and
they
don't
have
an
outdoor
seating
area
and
the
it
was
just
nice,
even
under
the
temporary
tent.
So
you
know
I
just
like
to
make
sure
we're
looking
at
the
whole
community
when
we
do
that
too.
A
And
I
think
once
we've
got
the
the
the
horse
has
gotten
out
of
the
barn,
we're
not
shutting
the
door.
Is
that
a
pretty
safe
way?
To
put
it?
Mr
gleason.
E
It
definitely
is
and
alderman
matthew
I
you
know,
I
need
to
be
careful
in
my
messaging,
because
this
is
not
just
about
the
downtown.
Definitely
looking
at
the
citywide
opportunities,
definitely
getting
the
kind
of
feedback
from
the
entire
community
and
all
the
different
locations
of
the
community
that
we're
on
to
something
here,
and
it's
only
going
to
get
better.
A
E
Very
quickly,
mayor
and
council,
I
want
to
recognize
public
works.
The
bulk
waste
pickup
is
going
extremely
well.
Today
is
the
first
nice
day
in
july
that
we've
had,
or
at
least
since
the
bulk
waste
started
july
6th.
E
While
there
might
be
some
complaints
out
there
that
I'm
not
aware
of
tremendous
amount
of
support
and
compliments
for
what
the
public
works
team
is
doing
regarding
bulk
waste
pickup.
I
very
much
appreciate
the
community's
patients
for
us
pushing
this
off
two
months,
but
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do
real,
quick
committee
of
the
whole.
E
You
know
I
don't
expect
a
long
meeting,
but
we
have
some
good
presentations
that
are
coming
up.
Older
woman
bowling
talked
about
the
reappointment
of
ryan
whitehouse.
Well
he's
the
current
chairman
of
the
connect
transit
board,
and
one
thing
that
is
a
byproduct
of
that
meeting
that
she
was
sharing
is
that
connect
transit
is
going
to
come
and
present
at
the
committee
of
the
whole
covet
update
a
finance
update
to
the
city
council.
E
Next
item
is
going
to
be
the
pscrb
year-end
review,
we're
going
to
have
that
presentation
and
then,
lastly,
we're
going
to
have
the
water
master
plan
presentation.
This
is
actually
very
exciting.
We're
talking
about
infrastructure
improvements
that
we've
been
working
towards
for
quite
some
time.
That
are
long
overdue,
but
this
is
a
targeted
plan
of
what
the
next
20
years
looks.
E
A
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
gleason.
Thank
you
again
for
all
you
do
first,
I
it
just.
I
will
be
as
brief
as
possible,
but
there
are
two
very
quick
things
and
one
is
is
well
they're.
Both
important
one
is
the
utmost
importance
because
it
involves
the
core
of
our
community,
and
that
is
yesterday.
We
had
some.
We
had
a
hate
group
that
is
over
a
century
and
a
half
old
in
the
united
states,
that
is
a
cancer
in
the
united
states
that
was
distributing
leaflets
in
our
community
hate,
oriented
messages
and
well.
A
That
is
part
of
your
first
amendment
right.
If
anybody
wants
to
act
on
those
things,
that's
a
felony.
If
you
want
to
terrorize
people
or
scare
people
or
hurt
people
or
murder
people,
this
organization
has
been
littered
with
murders
in
its
150
plus
year
history
that
congress
passed
a
law
150
years
ago
this
year,
1870
that
the
the
federal
government
attempted
to
try
to
do
what
they
could
to
stop
the
terrorizing
of
our
citizens
by
this
organization.
A
And
it's
it's
sad
that
it's
here,
but
it
does
not
reflect
the
values
of
bloomington.
We
embrace
america's
values
of
being
a
melting
pot,
regardless
whether
you're,
whatever
your
religion,
whatever
your
race,
whatever
your
ethnic
background,
we
welcome
all
people
and
that's
the
strength
of
america,
so
this
has
just
been
quite
disturbing.
A
So,
on
the
other
note,
a
much
lighter
note,
tim
gleason,
happy
anniversary,
dude,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
at
this
point.
I'm
going
to
go
to
council
members
discussions
and
I
see
council,
member
crabill
and
carrillo
we'll
start
with
you
two
and
we're
going
to
go
around
council
member
carrillo.
I
Just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
for
speaking
out
again,
some
of
those
leaflets
that
you
know
got
widely
shared
yesterday
and
just
want
to
encourage
us
to
both
be
outraged,
as
we
should
be,
that
explicit
forms
of
white
supremacy
are
still
very
much
alive
in
our
community
and
also
examine
the
more
subtle
ways
that
all
of
us
participate
in
that
culture.
Every
day.
A
Thank
you
very
much
council
member
email.
Excuse
me
craig
bill
e-mig
and
matt
councilmember.
O
Craig
thank
you
mayor
two
things
I
wanted
to
point
out
in
the
consent
consent
agenda.
There
was
an
ordinance
that
was
changed
related
to
public
indecency
that
referenced
it
being
a
misdemeanor
to
dress
in
a
in
a
different
dress
than
than
the
the
sex
that
you
are
basically
and,
and
so
I
wanted
to
thank
the
city
staff.
This
was
something
that
was
actually
brought
up
to
me
in
the
community
that
this
still
existed,
don't
know
when
it
was
actually
enacted.
O
I
think
this
is
something
that
that
we
can
do
now,
and-
and
so
I
appreciate
him-
you
know
putting
this
on
the
agenda,
appreciate
jeff,
jurgens
working
on
the
language,
and
you
know,
and
even
though
this
is
not
something
that
I
don't
know
if
it's
ever
been
enforced,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
the
for
the
community
to
to
know
that
it's
no
longer
in
existence.
O
So
I
certainly
appreciate
that
on
on
the
second
note,
I
guess
just
sorry
a
little
bit
more,
a
negative
you
know
in
in
in
talking
with
disability
advocates
and
how
you
know
what
we're
doing
with
regard
to
outdoor
seating
and-
and
you
know
what
they're
telling
me
and-
and
I
wouldn't
necessarily
disagree
is
that
you
know
you
know
like.
O
You
know
ada
compliance
and
and
making
sure
spaces
are
available
for
those
with
disability.
Accessibility
issues
are
an
afterthought
and
I
I
just
don't
think
that
should
be
a
case
where
you
know
businesses
should
should
consider
complaints
as
being
a
nuisance
right.
O
You
know
it's
about
fairness,
and
you
know
and
they're
telling
me
that
you
know
we've
got
residents
in
our
downtown
with
mobility
issues
and
they
hear
about
the
outdoor,
seating
and
they're
very
excited
about
it
and
and
then
they
go
and
they
find
out
that
you
know
that
it
wasn't
built
for
them
and
and
so
they
either
have
to
go
back
home
or
you
know
even
go
up
to
normal
where,
where
you
know,
apparently
they've
done
some
things
up
there.
O
So
I
like
what
I
heard
tonight
tim
and
billy,
and-
and
I
agree
let's-
let's
try
to
use
some
of
that
cdbg
money.
You
know
to
make
things
accessible.
You
know
for
our
for
our
for
everybody
in
our
community,
so
just
wanted
to
make
that
one.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much:
councilmember
granville
councilmember,
emic,
matthew
and
black.
M
Thank
you
mayor.
I
also
want
to
thank
public
works
for
the
bulk
waste
pickup.
I
got
a
big
thumbs
up
from
the
neighborhood
association
at
founders,
grove
that
they
were
very
impressed.
So
thank
you
to
the
staff
for
that.
I
have
a
couple
of
comments
to
make
larger
comments
to
close
out
our
discussion
earlier
about
connect
transit.
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone
that
the
intergovernmental
agreement
with
connect
transit
is
going
to
be
amended
and
the
goal
there
is
just
to
provide
more
direction
and
accountability
for
future
policy
and
transactions.
M
So
that's,
I
think,
that's
a
positive
move
forward
and
I'm
also
really
delighted
that
we
are
making
actively
making
appointments
to
the
transit
board
that
do
better
represent
our
residents
and
their
needs,
and
I'm
very
enthusiastic
about
that
change.
I
think
that's
important
to
note
my
second
and
or
last
comment.
I
should
say
I
guess
this
is
in
a
series
of
three.
I
I
want
to
make
a
very
brief
remark
or
series
of
remarks
about
the
flyers
that
were
distributed
this
weekend.
M
The
southern
poverty
law
center,
which
I
check
every
so
often
just
to
kind
of
refresh
my
my
sense
of
what's
going
on
nationally,
has
been.
They
say
that
the
klan
has
been
greatly
weakened
by
internal
conflicts.
M
However,
while
some
factions
have
preserved
an
openly
racist
and
militant
approach,
others
have
tried
to
enter
the
mainstream
cloaking
their
racism
as
mere
civil
rights
for
whites,
and
I
think
that's
a
lot
of
what
we
saw
this
weekend.
My
family
found
flyers
left
by
the
loyal
white
knights,
a
self-proclaimed
kkk
group,
and
we
were
very
sad
given
the
historical
racial
violence
demonstrated
by
this
group,
but
at
the
same
time
we
see
the
act
as
rather
a
desperate
attempt
to
sow
discord
and
dissidence,
and
I
say
the
best
way
to
counteract
these.
M
These
actions
is
to
demonstrate
within
our
own
action
and
policy
and
work
that
this
is
truly
an
inclusive
community
and
just
for
residents
at
least
that's
where
we're
working
towards
and
if
you
do
find
any
of
these
flyers
notify
the
police
so
that
the
incidences
can
be
documented
and
then
move
on
with
the
important
work
of
uplifting
the
community,
because
we
do
have
a
lot
of
work
left
to
do,
and
I
would
say
that
I
would
argue
it's
not
so
much
that
we're
a
melting
pot,
but
rather
a
community
that
has
great
strength
in
our
diversity.
A
You
so
much
council,
member
matthew,
black
and
bowlin,
and
then
we're
done.
L
Thank
you,
julie,
thank
you
for
that.
That
was
a
great
way
of
saying
it.
I
really
appreciated
that
also
congratulations
to
julie
on
your
new
job.
So
that's
that's
pretty
exciting.
That's
right!
Yeah!
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
jen
and
I
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
a
group
of
hopeful
next
generation
leaders
in
our
community,
the
next
gen
initiative
at
miller
park
and
somehow
the
rain
didn't
hit
miller
park
when
it
was
apparently
torrentially
downpouring
in
the
rest
of
bloomington
normal.
L
So
that
was
good.
It
looked
very
ominous,
but
it
never
rained
on
us
and
it
was
great
conversation.
I
think
that
the
average
age
there,
if
you
excluded
me,
was
probably
like
25.
I
I
probably
raised
it
quite
a
bit
myself.
Unfortunately,
but
great
conversation
had
you
know
lots
of
people
from
various
local
governments
in
our
area
were
there
school
boards
and
in
county
and
candidates
for
office
and
stuff.
L
So
it
was
a
lot
of
great
conversations,
and
it
just
reminds
me
sometimes
that
not
everybody
understands
what
local
government
does,
what
we're
supposed
to
do
and
what
we
can
do
and
so
that
it's
incumbent
on
all
of
us
to
keep
doing
our
best
to
provide
education
in
terms
of
what's
the
difference
between
city
council
and
the
county
board
and
the
school
districts
and
there's
you
know.
L
Didn't
have
the
slightest
clue
what
the
difference
was
and
what
we
were
responsible
for
and
where
their
tax
money
was
going
for.
So
I
think
it's
all
of
us.
We
need
to
keep
working
to
make
sure
that
we
reach
out
to
you,
know
the
the
next
generation
who
will
hopefully
be
sitting
on
this
board
in
you
know
some
some
point
in
the
future
and
doing
awesome
things.
So
I
was
just
really.
L
J
J
But
it
heartens
me
to
hear
that
more
folks
are
getting
involved
and-
and
you
know
I
I
read
today-
that
the
the
pcsr
or
the
police
review
board
was
talking
about
adding
some
youth
members.
I
think
that's
a
great
idea
carve
out
some
seats
for
those
folks
and
that's
that's
a
great
way
for
us
to
to
help
get
people
involved,
engage
in
the
community,
learn
how
things
work
and
then
take
their
their
ideas
for
reform.
So
that's
really
good.
J
I'm
just
going
to
note
here
briefly
that
you
know
I
look
forward
to
staffs
update
to
us
in
the
near
future
about
the
west
market
street
plaza.
I
know
they
got
some
some
press.
I
know
there's
been
a
lot
of
questions
about
where
that
project
sits
and
what
that
will
look
like.
You
know
trying
to
be
very
careful
in
public
remarks.
As
you
know,
we're
currently
involved
in
litigation
so,
but
I
know
that
a
lot
of
us
have
strong
interest
in
that
project,
especially
myself,
and
if
you.
J
Opportunity
to
watch
hamilton
such
a
great
show
and
watch
it
again
this
weekend.
It's
it's
fantastic
and
I
I
hadn't
listened
to
that
show
in
a
long
time,
and
it
just
was
wonderful.
So
if
you
get
the
chance,
take
a
look.
