B
A
Okay
and
second
by
council
member
Urban
Madam,
could
you
call
the
rule
correctly
this
time?
Yes,.
E
F
G
A
Can
hear
you
fine,
thank
you
so
I
know
from
time
to
time.
I
tend
to
forget
that
we
have
somebody
else
on
on
the
line.
So
don't
hesitate
to
you
know
to
chime
in.
If
you
you
need
to
you
know,
to
say
anything:
okay,.
A
We're
gonna
move
on
to
recognition
and
appointments
and
we
do
have
a
proclamation
for
National
Health
Care
decisions
day
as
requested
by
the
administration
department,
and
it's
my
understanding
that
chaplain
Kristen
McNeil
is
here
to
receive
a
proclamation.
So
if
you
want
to
step
up
to
the
podium
while
I
read
the
proclamation
and
and
then
I
will
give
you
a
an
opportunity
to
say
a
few
words
afterwards,
if
you'd
like
and
and
then
we
can
do,
the
the
nice
photo
op
with
the
proclamation.
If
you
have
somebody
taking
pictures,
okay,.
A
So
a
mural
Proclamation
for
natural
Healthcare
decisions
day,
whereas
National
Health
Care
decisions
day,
is
designed
to
inspire
and
educate
the
public
about
the
importance
of
Advanced,
Care
planning
and
empower
the
public
to
research,
Advanced,
Care
planning
resources
and
whereas
National
Health
Care
decisions.
Day
presents
an
opportunity
to
begin
the
important
conversations
and
to
seek
out
resources
which
clearly
communicate
a
person's
care
choices
and
who
can
speak
for
them
when
they
are
unable
to
speak
for
themselves.
And
whereas
the
state
promotes
the
importance
of
adults.
A
H
So
thank
you
for
bringing
this
to
the
attention
of
our
city
and
for
allowing
us
to
draw
attention
to
this
very
important
matter.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
A
Okay,
the
next
item
on
the
agendas
public
comment:
Madam
clerk:
do
we
have
any
public
comments.
B
A
B
First
off,
we
did
not
receive
an
emailed
public
comment
prior
to
the
meeting
and
we
have
no
one
registered
to
speak
remotely,
but
we
do
have
two
people
in
person.
The
first
will
be
Scott
steinling
and
then
Gary
Lambert
to
follow
after
your
statement.
Okay,
public.
A
Comment
is
an
opportunity
for
speakers
to
provide
their
reviews
and
feedback
to
the
city
council.
It
is
also
an
opportunity
for
the
city
council
to
listen
and
hear
diverse
points
of
views
to
maximize
the
impact
of
public
comment
and
show
respect
for
the
expression
of
All
Views.
Speakers
should
maintain
Civility
and
focus
on
City
issues.
Speakers
must
identify
themselves
for
the
record
but
are
not
required
to
give
their
address.
Each
speaker
is
given
the
floor
for
three
minutes,
and
the
council
does
not
respond
or
engage
in
debate.
A
J
Scott
steinling
this
past
weekend
it
was
Friday
after
five,
the
the
drain
started
to
this
rain
came
down
and
the
drains
could
not
handle
the
water
and
the
street
flood
again
it
was.
There
are
two
drains
across
the
street
one
in
front
of
my
house
and
I've,
been
after
this
city
and
after
him
and
after
him
to
please
put
a
four
inch
drain
beside
that
four
inch
drain.
It
doesn't
make
any
sense
to
rip
it
out
and
put
an
eight
inch
drain
in
there.
J
One
drain
four
inch
drain
cannot
handle
the
volume
of
water
that
comes
down
that
street
that
Hill,
so
consequently,
the
road
flooded
again.
If
a
emergency
vehicle
would
have
to
get
down
there,
they
couldn't
have
done
it
and
there's
no
excuse
for
that
on
another
issue.
The
curb
line
is
level
with
the
grass
in
certain
places.
J
This
is
no
sign.
This
does
not
speak
well
for
a
city
of
Bloomington,
it
had
been
a
whole
lot
less
expensive
to
do
these
address
these
when
they
were
first
brought
up
several
years
ago,
materials
were
a
heck,
a
lot
lower,
and
so
we're
so
is
labor,
but
I
forgot.
It's
tax
money,
it's
free
money,
isn't
it.
K
A
B
A
L
My
name
is
Zach
Carlson
Ward,
six
I
got
the
email
really
quick.
I
just
want
to
talk
about
a
couple
things
I
saw
on
the
agenda
and
a
few
things
that
are
happening
around
town
first
on
the
consent
agenda
F.
This
is
the
the
drones
for
police
departments,
we're
doing
three
drones
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
with
the
goal
of
a
fistical,
strong
neighborhoods
and
with
the
objective
of
feeling
safe.
That's
that's
in
the
notes.
Oh
well.
L
You
saw
that
I
just
want
to
state
that
that
doesn't
actually
prevent
crime.
The
grand
that
we
got
for
this
was
for
crime
prevention.
Drones
don't
prevent
crime,
they
only
help
catch
after
and
that's
if
you
get
them
up
in
the
air
right
after
that's
not
how
this
works.
That's
not
prevention
and
feeling
safe,
doesn't
objectively
change
safety.
Either
a
feeling
is
a
feeling.
It
doesn't
change.
The
objective
conditions
that
we
live
in
on
top
of
that
I
saw
natalongo
that
the
Sheriff's
Office
wants
to
work
with
BPD
to
get
their
own
SWAT
team.
L
L
So
when
the
agreement
becomes
it
comes
before
BPD
I
would
recommend
that
you
first
shoot
down
the
sheriff
not
actually
but
shoot
down
the
deal
and
and
strike
aft
from
the
consent
agenda
to
to
honestly
to
strike
that
all
together,
which
kind
of
brings
me
into
my
next
point,
is
that
we
just
displaced
at
least
six
homeless
folks
for
no
good
reason
that
doesn't
say
safe
to
me.
L
Gleason
claims
they
offer
to
help,
but
according
to
home,
sweet
home
Ministries,
they
offered
nothing
it's
in
the
GLT
article
from
a
few
weeks
ago,
they
were
kicked
out
for
simply
conversing
with
people.
That
was
the
first
claim
and
then
came
and
became
aggressive
says
who,
when
do
they
become
aggressive,
can
I
just
claim
that
my
neighbor
is
aggressive?
Getting
kicked
out
of
their
home?
L
L
B
A
Not
a
problem
I'm
gonna,
move
on
to
the
consent,
agenda
and
I
believe
Madam
clerk.
You
have
a
couple
of
edits
to
make
yeah.
A
B
Yeah
very
minor
so
to
the
first
one
item:
seven,
a
that
item
is
a
set
of
minutes
and
on
page
11
of
the
minutes,
council
member
crabill
pointed
out
that
there
should
be
a
statement
at
the
end
of
one
of
the
comments
that
he
made
and
I
do
agree
with
his
comments.
B
He
the
line
read
that
he'd
like
to
add,
encourage
the
city
to
add
additional
inspectors,
and
so
he
just
wanted
to
say
so
that
we
could
get
caught
up
on
inspections
of
city-owned
properties.
So
we
would
just
add
three
words
at
the
end:
city-owned
properties
there
so
I'd
ask
that
when
the
motion
comes
forward,
if
you
would
do
that
as
amended
for
7A,
please
and
and
then
the
second
one.
B
Actually
our
mayor
recognized
that
there
was
a
date
in
item
7-0
on
that
item
and
that
item
is
the
Community
Development
block
grant
action
plan
that
one
the
public
hearing
that
was
held
on
that
it's
stated
in
the
minutes.
That's
page
158,
as
March
23rd
and
the
public
hearing
was
held
on
March
27th.
So
it's
not
Material
in
terms
of
the
resolution
that's
being
brought
forward,
but
we
did
just
want
to
point
out
the
air
thanks.
A
That
was
good.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
as
amended.
A
Moved
by
council
member
Ward
and
then
second
by
council,
member
Bolin,
okay
and
we
have
a
link.
A
A
Okay,
so
the
consent
agenda
passes.
There
are
no
needs
to
announce
and
now
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
regular
agenda
with
item
8A,
a
consideration,
an
action
on
the
adoption
of
the
fiscal
year,
2024
budget
and
appropriation
ordinance,
as
requested
by
the
finance
department
and
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
city
manager.
Gleason.
For
some
introductory
remarks,.
M
M
It's
exciting,
because
this
is
a
budget
that
I
believe
captures.
The
vision
of
council
captures
the
desires
of
the
community.
You
know
we're
in
a
period
of
more
and
we're
very
fortunate
that
it
has
a
municipal
organization.
We
can
deliver
that
to
the
community.
M
Something
else
that
I'd
like
to
share
is
the
scrutiny
that
we
talk
about
being
stewards
of
taxpayer
dollars,
there's
no
greater
scrutiny
than
what
we
place
on
ourselves
as
City
staff.
Rathbun
is
the
finance
director
Chris
tomerlin
in
the
back
road
next
to
Chief,
simmington
and
the
entire
staff.
The
director
is
leading
their
departments,
it's
something
that
we
take
this
very
seriously,
and
we
hear
this
very
clearly
from
the
elected
officials
that
we
work
for
and
truly
an
exciting
evening.
M
Just
thinking
about
all
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
provide
this
community
a
process
that
truly
starts,
you
know
for
Scott
and
his
team
May
2nd
you
know,
and
for
the
deputy
city
manager
and
I,
and
then
it
Rose
within
the
organization
and
by
late
summer,
early
fall.
We
are
full-blown
preparing
for
the
next
fiscal
year,
all
the
while
assessing
the
current
fiscal
year
as
we
work
through
that
so
truly
an
exciting
evening.
You
know
gratitude
and
appreciation
of
Scott
and
his
Finance
team
and
before
I
turn
it
to
you.
N
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
it
and
really
I'll
be
brief.
I
just
I
was
thinking
back
to
a
couple
of
years
ago,
when
covet
hit
and
this
the
city
manager
recommended
and,
more
importantly,
this
Council
decided
to
make
the
decision
not
to
limp
through
covet
I
think
those
were
actually
the
works
that
were
used
to
continue
to
build
and
plan
for
that
day
when,
while
covet's
not
over,
obviously
that
we
returned
to
some
sense
of
normalcy.
N
This
budget
Builds
on
that
decision,
instead
of
having
us,
have
to
basically
start
from
scratch.
It
covers
a
multitude
of
different
things.
It
covers
the
things
that
cities
are
known
to
be
responsible
to
do.
Water
and
Sewer
improvements
and
critical
functions
like
police
and
fire
covers
those
things,
but
it
also
does
more
it.
It
continues
to
build
the
local
quality
of
life.
N
I
was
in
a
meeting
the
other
day
with
the
manager
and
others
where
the
question
was
asked
describe
where
the
city
of
Bloomington
is
now
or
describe
the
current
condition,
and
the
answer
was
it's
fantastic.
We
continue
to
grow
and
people
continue
to
choose
us
as
a
place
to
invest
and
to
build
their
business
and
to
come
and
live.
You
know.
Recent
census
numbers
indicated
that
we
had
some
level
of
of
minimal
growth
over
the
last
10
years,
10
11
years,
whereas
other
communities
throughout
the
state
did
not
so
I.
N
Think
that
says
a
lot
about
us
and,
quite
frankly,
a
lot
of
the
work
to
make
that
happen
happen
with
you
all
as
a
council
in
terms
of
the
decisions
you
had
made,
and
so
what
we're
proud
of
the
of
this
budget,
as
Tim
said
as
a
manager
said
it's
an
exciting
time.
It
covers
the
basics
like
I
talked
about,
but
it
also,
you
know,
covers
major
projects
that
you
all
have
gone
through
some
public
discussion
over
the
last
several
years
to
make
happen.
N
You
talk
about
the
work
with
Locust
Colton
and
the
the
the
associated
drainage
basin
working
to
address,
funding
flooding
issues.
This
budget
continues
to
cover
that
type
of
work.
One
of
the
complaints
that
we
get
often-
and
you
know
it
is
when
are
you
going
to
do
something
about
the
roads?
N
So
it
does
the
basics
and
it
does
more
and
addresses
the
addresses,
the
issues
that
the
public
has
said
that
they
expect
from
us
and
so
again
we're
very,
very
proud
of
this
budget,
not
to
steal
any
of
Scott's
Thunder.
But
again
it
took
a
lot
of
work
and
we
appreciate
that
work.
Scott.
O
Thank
you
tough
to
build
on
on
that.
As
far
as
an
intro
goes,
it's
hard
to
imagine.
It
was
just
six
quick
months
short
months
ago
that
we
started
this
process.
I
mean
literally
it's
like
six
months
on
six
months
off
six,
but
we're
doing
the
budget
year
round,
as
a
city
manager
mentioned
so
tonight
we're
pleased
to
present
the
adoption
for
Council
we'll
be
recapping,
some
of
the
same
slides
that
we've
went
over
previously
I'm
a
strong
believer.
O
You
know,
although
it
may
be
boring
and
redundancy
when
it
comes
to
going
over
these
financials,
so
that
we
build
understanding
what
the
structure
of
the
city
and
the
use
of
these
dollars.
O
First
I
wanted
to
comment
quickly,
though,
on
the
location
of
these
presentations.
It's
been
changed
slightly
from
the
last
last
month.
We've
had
the
web
cities
website
updated.
So
if
you
can
see
in
the
lower
left
hand
corner
there,
the
presentations,
the
monthly
presentations
and
all
the
fy24
presentations
are
now
located
on
the
finance
page
under
annual
budget
documents.
O
Fy
2024
and
just
a
quick
note
to
council
there's
a
there's,
a
couple
of
slight
edits
on
some
of
the
descriptions
and
some
of
the
slides,
no
material
changes
from
what
was
sent
out
previously
just
very
immaterial
changes,
but
we
did
update
a
couple
of
items
next
slide,
please
so
in
recapping,
the
largest
city-wide
budget
that
has
been
presented
at
290
million,
a
21
million
dollar
increase
over
the
prior
year,
but
as
you
can
see,
for
capital
projects,
we're
nearly
70
million
in
capital
projects
and
that's
an
increase
of
12.8
million.
O
So
the
majority
of
that
increase
for
the
city-wide
budget
is
made
up
of
those
caterpillar
projects.
There's
a
there's,
some
other
variances
in
other
funds
within
the
financial
structure
of
the
city,
but
the
library
and
the
arena
kind
of
make
up
about
seven
million
dollars.
Of
those
other
changes.
The
library
experienced
the
grant
related
to
a
state
grant
for
their
expansion
is
coming
in
in
fy24
they're
going
to
be
that's
going
to
be
a
contribution
to
their
reserves,
that's
shown
as
an
expenditure
believe
it
or
not
in
our
budgets
and
then
the
arena.
O
We
have
a
full
budget
for
the
entertainment
Division
and
so
that's
a
gross
up
of
their
expenditures,
even
though
there's
offsetting
revenues
and
that
counts
for
the
remainder
of
that
the
general
fund-
129
million-
that's
45
percent
of
our
city-wide
budget.
The
general
fund
is
the
largest
fund
of
our
financial
structure,
we'll
be
going
through
some
of
the
details
of
that
in
a
moment
and
general
fund
fund
balance.
The
reserves
projected
this
is.
O
This
is
a
kind
of
a
moving
number
as
we
as
we
proceed,
you
know
through
finalizing
FY
23,
but
right
now
you
know
for
the
end
of
FY
24
we're
looking
at
dollars
in
the
mid
mid
middle
40
million
dollar
range-
and
this
provides
us,
as
I
mentioned
previously,
the
flexibility
to
have
some
larger
discussions
about
fire
stations,
downtown
seascaping,
the
fleet
garage,
which
is
a
need.
O
You
know
for
our
mechanics
and
and
the
needs
of
other
funds,
some
of
the
funds
that
you
know
like
Golf
and
and
Lincoln
garage
that
can't
that
have
trouble
supporting
some
of
those
larger
capital
projects
and
then
the
other
highlight
on
this
page
paying
cash
for
equipment
weaning
ourselves
off.
Using
borrowing
for
our
Rolling
Stock,
the
general
fund
has
been
paying
cash
for
at
least
three
years
now,
and
you
can
see
that
there's
a
drop
in
interest
expense
on
those
exhibits
when
we
get
to
those
next
slide.
O
Please
by
this
exhibit
we've
gone
over
several
times.
This
shows
the
budget
growth.
It's
trying
to
kind
of
drill
down
into
what
a
net
growth
looks
like
for
the
city
from
2016
up
through
today,
after
adjusting
for
capital
projects
which
can
vary
from
year
to
year
significantly,
and
we
have
strategic
addition,
such
as
the
McLean
County
Health
contribution
and
the
non-recurring
items
such
as
American
Rescue
plan
act
dollars.
So
this
exhibit
shows
that
we've
been
roughly
growing
at
approximately
three
percent
annualized
rate
since
2016.
next
slide,
please.
O
So
our
major
tax
revenues,
the
general
fund
is,
is
primarily
funded
by
by
tax
revenues.
These
are
driven
up
and
down
based
on
the
the
economy.
So
that's
why
we
provide
a
lot
of
scrutiny
on
these
revenues
versus
Waters,
who
are
storm
which
are
more
fee
generated
and
usage
and
consumption
generated
so
for
FY
23
we're
projecting
a
13
million
dollar
positive
variance.
We've
been
discussing
that
at
the
monthly
reports,
but
for
fy24
we
do
believe
that
some
of
those
revenues
will
stay
elevated.
O
The
economy
is
still
running
pretty
hot,
but
we're
only
capturing
about
a
five
million
dollar
increase
versus
a
13
million
dollar.
Variance
that
we're
looking
at
23.
so
trying
to
be
conservative
going
into
24
with
the
projection
on
those
revenues,
but
still
recognizing
that
there
should
still
be
some
residual
increases
going
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
Next
slide,
please
so.
The
general
fund
general
fund,
Parks,
Rec,
Public
Safety,
we'll
be
going
through
some
of
those
categories
in
just
a
moment,
but
the
largest
fund.
What
I
want
to
highlight
here
is
you
know.
O
We
have
been
fortunate
related
to
Major
tax
revenues
and
some
of
the
positive
direction
that
they've
been
headed,
and
so
you
can
see
our
use
of
reserves.
We
are
targeting
these
3.4
billion
dollars
and
if
you
look
to
the
right
in
the
notes
and
we're
utilizing
the
majority
of
that
to
a
system
of
our
other
Enterprise
funds
for
taking
care
of
what
we
have
and
then
also
we're
doing,
a
million
dollars
for
streets
and
sidewalks.
O
For
this
coming
year,
two
million
dollars
will
be
utilized
for
American
Rescue
plan
act
to
to
kind
of
hit
our
10
million
dollar
Target
for
asphalt
and
concrete,
but
we
are
committed
to
hitting
that
10
million
dollars
in
the
future
years
and
utilizing
the
general
fund
to
subsidize
asphalt
and
concrete
the
tax
line.
You
can
see
that
seven
point
almost
two
million
dollars
increase
over
the
prior
year
at
the
previous
exhibit
showed,
including
the
levy
about
6.9
million.
O
You
know
the
interest
rate
environment,
you
can
see
an
investment
income.
You
know
we
had
a
budget
of
a
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars,
that's
all
for
FY
23
and
we've
budgeted
1.8
million.
We
might
be
light
in
that
that
line
item,
but
a
1.6
million
dollar
increase
in
interest
income
for
the
general
fund.
You
don't
want
to
make
plans
based
on
interest
and
investment
earnings
when
you're
talking
about
public
funds,
but
but
we'll
take
that
as
I
mentioned
previously
we're
fortunate
to
have
that
occurring
next
slide.
O
Please
general
fund
expenditures
just
to
highlight
you
know
three:
three
categories:
here:
salaries,
we've
talked
about
an
increase
in
staff.
There
has
been
an
increase
in
staff.
This
3.6
million
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
couple
items.
You
know
four:
four
staff
for
inspectors:
rental
inspectors,
building
inspectors.
You
know
boots
on
the
street
out
there
taking
a
look
at
the
assets
in
the
community
and
then
two
human
resources
staff,
editions,
a
recruiter
and
a
training
officer,
retention
and
recruiting
are
challenges
for
all
business.
O
All
people,
all
companies,
Municipal
governments,
Etc
and
we
are
not
exempt
from
that
and
so
taking
care
of
the
people
that
we
have
and
try
to
recruit
more
to
be
able
to
provide
the
services
to
the
community.
That's
been
an
emphasis
here
strategically
in
this.
You
know
initiative
within
the
city
management
and
then
the
principal
expense
and
interest
expense.
O
You
can
see
that
that's
decreasing
is
300,
000
decrease
for
a
principal
and
forty
three
thousand
dollar
for
interest
and
that's
related
to
removing
ourselves
from
borrowing
forth
equipment,
and
so
those
those
leases
are
rolling
off.
And
you
know
this
number
will
get
smaller
a
reduction,
but
you
know
it's
coming
down
every
year.
What
we're
spending
on
on
interest
so
we're
being
able
to
fund
are
those
those
purchases
with
our
cash
reserves
and
and
the
cash
and
the
tax
revenues
that
are
coming
in
and
then
you
can
see
the
transfers
out.
O
2.9
Million.
This
is
associated
with
the
subsidies
that
that
I
explained
in
the
revenue
section.
So
we
have
a
use
of
reserves.
O
You
know
we're
showing
that
that
Revenue,
you
know
it's
not
real
Revenue
it's,
but
it's
a
use
of
Reserve,
so
we're
balancing
our
budget
showing
the
use
of
those
savings
and
here
in
the
expenditures
we're
showing
those
transfers
going
out
to
those
other
funds
and
I've
described
this
previously,
as
this
kind
of
doubles
up
our
our
budget
somewhat,
because
we
have
a
transfer
out
of
the
general
fund
transfer
in
using
Lincoln
garage
as
an
example,
and
that
will
show
Revenue
as
a
transfer
in
and
then
utilizing
those
funds
at
Lincoln
garage
for
the
capital
project.
O
We
have
that
double
up
whenever
we're
doing
subsidies
and
transfers
next
slide,
please
so
the
general
fund,
the
general
fund
by
function,
because
it
is
it,
is
the
largest
fund,
it's
47,
of
our
entire
city-wide
budget,
and
this
highlights
the
kind
of
the
buy
category
you
know
where
these
dollars
are
being
utilized
and
kind
of
highlight
some
of
the
I
guess
the
more.
What
I'll
refer
to
as
the
direct
touch
points
with
the
community,
so
you
can
see
for
Public
Safety,
you
know,
Public
Safety
is
a
large
concern.
O
Obviously,
you
know
64.8
million
dollars
for
police
and
fire
public
mental
health.
You
know
the
McLean
County
Health,
that's
for
public
Mental,
Health,
Services,
2.9,
Million,
public
transportation.
Almost
a
million
quality
of
life
was
mentioned
by
the
deputy
city
manager.
You
know
15.1
million
dollars
for
for
parks
and
rec.
You
know.
So
that's
that's!
Almost
84
million
dollars
in
what
I'll
refer
to
as
kind
of
like
direct
touch
points
from
the
general
fund
expenditures
and
then
the
Highlight.
O
The
right
side
of
this
exhibit
a
lot
of
these
departments,
do
have
offsetting
revenues,
police
and
fire
ambulance
or
fees
Towing
that
resource
officers
and
Parks.
You
know
charging
for
the
zoo
and
the
programs,
so
you
can
see
you
know
net
of
their
revenues.
You
know
the
parks
department
goes
from
a
15.1
million
dollar
gross
expenditure
down
to
about
11.3
million
dollars.
So
we
present
our
budgets
in
terms
of
total
expenditures,
but
I
just
want
to
highlight.
You
know
there
is
offsetting
revenues
related
to
some
of
these
departments
and
categories
next
slide.
O
Please,
and
then
we
move
on
to
the
Citywide.
So
this
is
all
funds
included,
but
just
giving
some
perspective
use
of
reserves,
use
of
fund
balance,
43.7
million
dollars,
a
10.7
million
dollar
increase
over
prior
a
year.
You
can
see
some
of
the
categories
where
we're
utilizing
reserves
again
reserves.
You
know,
accumulated
savings
so
that
we
can
address
capital
projects
more
efficiently.
You
know,
accumulate
those
reserves
execute
those
projects
all
at
once,
investment
income.
Here
you
know
2.8
million
city-wide
increase
over
prior
year.
O
You
know
we'll
take
that
as
I
mentioned
previously
next
slide,
please
Citywide
expenses,
5.2
million
we
just
highlighted
3.6
million
of
that
was
for
the
general
fund.
We
have
5.6
million
dollar
increase
for
contractuals.
You
know
some
of
that
is
due
to
inflation,
but
also
you
know
the
arena
with
the
entertainment
division.
Basically
really
coming
back
online.
O
You
know
we
have
a
1.3
million
dollar
increase
related
to
to
that
activity.
You
know
artist
fees,
Etc,
Capital
expenditures.
You
know
you
can
see
the
10.8
million
dollar
increase
in
the
in
the
notes.
It
shows
the
12.8.
That's
the
overall
capital
projects
increase,
but
not
all
of
that
is
included
in
that
line.
We
have
design
and
things
of
that
nature
that
are
in
the
contractuals
line,
so
our
capital
projects
are
split
up
a
little
bit
from
a
general
ledger
standpoint.
O
So
just
want
to
highlight
that
and
then
transfers
out
you
can
still
see
you
know
these
are
the
subsidies,
what
it's
referring
to
previously
with
the
general
fund,
the
transfers
out
from
a
city-wide
basis.
Next
slide,
please
and
then
the
city-wide
by
fund.
It's
a
it's
a
complex,
Financial
structure.
I've
indicated
previously
we
have
29
funds.
You
can
see
the
general
fund
at
the
129
million,
a
6.8,
roughly
million
dollar
increase
over
the
prior
year,
the
library
about
3.2
million,
most
of
that
being
a
contribution
to
reserves
related
to
that
state.
O
Grant,
coming
in
I'm
gonna
highlight
Capital
Improvement
asphalt
and
concrete
a
three
million
dollar
increase
over
prior
year
and
as
I
mentioned
previously,
our
commitment
is
to
is
to
hit
that
10
million
dollar
capture
that
amount
in
our
out
years,
our
future
years
as
part
of
this
budget
and
sourcing,
those
extra
funds
from
the
general
fund
going
forward
and
then
the
eurita
fund,
a
3.5
million
dollar
increase
a
big
like
half
of
that
is
related,
probably
to
the
entertainment
division.
But
we
have
had
an
increase.
O
The
rooftop
unit
project
was
budgeted
in
23,
it's
rolling
at
24
and
it's
being
an
increase.
So
you
know
3.5
million
dollar
increase
in
the
arena
fund
from
prior
year.
Next
slide,
please
the
capital
projects,
you
know:
FY
24,
69.7
million,
a
12.8
million
dollar
increase
asphalt,
concrete
just
highlighting
that
three
million
dollar
increase
over
prior
year.
The
significant
dollars
in
capital
projects
for
water
sewer,
storm
Etc
next
slide.
Please
so
winding
down
the
presentation
we
we
are
going
to
adopt
basically
adopt
the
budget
and
two
components.
O
This
evening,
a
council
member
email
and
her
role
with
the
museum
we,
the
city,
contributes
45
000
to
the
McLean
County
Museum.
So
we
were
pulling
that
out
officially
for
the
appropriation,
so
the
adoption
tonight
will
be
a
290
million
89
570,
highlighting
the
general
fund,
because
that
contribution
is
part
of
the
general
fund
as
well,
but
for
the
appropriation
it's
going
to
be
the
290
089
570.
O
next
slide.
Please,
and
where
can
all
this
information
be
found
and
further
understanding
about
the
budget
and
how
our
financial
structure
is
organized?
It's
all
online.
We
do
have
hard
copies
of
the
proposed
budget
at
the
at
the
Hub
and
Library.
Just
to
give
some
context
about
the
budget
books
themselves.
The
budget
book
number
one
is
really
related,
mostly
to
the
general
fund.
It's
a
summary
of
revenues
and
expenditures,
but
it
also
has,
if
you
look
at
the
third
bullet
there,
the
department
fund
narratives.
O
O
Has
our
debt
information
related
to
bonds,
but
the
most
interesting
part
is
really
there's
a
lot
of
information
about
our
capital
projects.
All
the
detail
sheets
are
are
located
there
in
that
second
book
and
then,
if
you
look
at
the
last
bullet,
we
have
the
budget
video
series,
there's
a
PDF
or
a
PowerPoint
I
think
it's
a
PDF
that
goes
along
with
that
that
you
can
just
read
our
annual
report.
O
You
know,
as
I
mentioned
it's
six
months
of
effort,
to
pull
this
all
together,
a
tremendous
effort
by
Council
staff
and
the
community,
it's
early
in
all
hands
on
deck
kind
of
thing,
but
we
think
we're
producing
a
strong
budget
things
that
will
impact
the
community
directly
and
just
highlighting
some
of
the
those
items
here.
O
You
know
if
you
combine
asphalt
and
concrete,
and
the
State
motor
fuel
tax
fund
I
mean
it's
nearly
37
million
dollars
related
to
Road
and
Street
and
sidewalk
infrastructure
over
20
million
dollars
in
water
and
sewer
infrastructure
products
for
delivering
those
those
key
services
to
our
community
and
then
of
the
69.7
million
at
the
12.7
million
taking
care
of
what
we
have.
You
know:
facility
maintenance,
quality
of
life
for
parks
and
rec.
You
know
even
trying
to
address
some
of
those
more
forward-thinking
components
like
Environmental
Studies
for
solar
and
EV.
O
You
know
so
trying
to
you
know,
hit
hit
the
hit
the
components
that
will
really
hopefully
impact
our
community
and
then
the
other
highlights.
You
know
we
are
funding
the
public
safety
pensions
at
the
100
Target.
That's
12.3
million
dollars
of
our
general
fund
budget
is
really
to
Public
Safety
pensions.
If
you've
seen
this
number
7.2
million
for
cash
for
equipment
for
the
general
fund
is
a
hundred
percent
funding
for,
or
cash
for
equipment,
and
then
some
some
items
that
we
went
through
during
the
proposed
budget
related
to
your
budget.
O
The
community's
budget
dollars,
were,
you,
know,
89,
000,
police
and
fire
service
runs
that
occurred
in
the
last
year
that
they
captured
the
data.
For
you
know,
over
a
thousand
miles
of
sewer
and
water
lines
are
maintained.
Four
billion
gallons
of
water
provided
annually,
17
000
tons
of
trash
and
recycling,
all
this
34
million
pounds
and
then
adding
up
all
the
visitors
for
Parks,
attendees
cultural.
You
know,
bcpa
library,
is
600,
000
visits
and
attendees.
You
know
that
that
the
budget's
going
to
be
addressing
so
your
hope
is.
O
You
know
this
really
has
a
very
tangible
direct
impact
on
the
community
and
that
everyone
sees
that
their
dog,
their
their
dollars,
are
being
put
to
use
and
our
ultimate
goal,
as
a
city
manager
mentions
being
good
stewards
of
the
taxpayers
funds
with
this
budget
next
slide.
Please
two
minutes
so
having
said
that,
my
recommendation
is
to
adopt
the
fy24
budget
as
presented
in
the
amount
of
290
million
dollars,
89
570
dollars
next
slide.
Please
with
that
we'll
take
your
questions
and
or
comments.
A
Thank
you,
Scott,
a
very
efficient
presentation,
we're
down
to
two
minutes.
I
think
the
two
minutes
are
What's
Left
Right
of
your
presence.
Okay,
thank
you
so
questions
from
Council
Members,
so
we
have
councilman,
Walsh
monthly
and
then
Olin
and
Ward
and
Crumpler.
P
P
O
No,
that
includes
the
State
motor
fuel
tax
fund
as
well.
So
that's
the
26.7
million
motor
fuel
tax.
So
that's
a
Fox
Creek
Road
and
Bridge
improvements,
Hamilton
Road
up
on
the
street
to
Morrissey
drive.
So
basically,
if
you,
if
you
kind
of
combine
it
into
Road,
Street
sidewalk
infrastructure
in
total,
that's
that
that's
the
30,
the
36.7.
P
But
okay,
so
when
we
get
into
the
bridge
placement
there
on
Fox
Creek
the
whole
building
out
a
brand
new
road
for
Hamilton
Road,
you
in
in
the
acquisition
of
land
and
in
the
rare
Road
rights
and
all
that
stuff
we
get
into
36
million
dollars,
but
in
reality
we're
spending.
You
know
if
you
take
that
away
of
what
we're
doing
new
we're
spending
10
million
dollars
in
Asphalt
and
concrete
to
do
streets
and
sidewalks,
yes,
correct.
M
There
we
go
that's
going
to
be
tough
in
any
given
year
to
be
able
to
describe
that
accurately,
and
this
is
ground
that
Kevin
kothy,
our
Public
Works
director
Craig
shankweiler,
the
assistant
I,
have
described
in
the
past.
So
when
we
bring
before
Council
the
needs
and
the
condition
of
our
roads,
you
know
it
might
be
a
resurfacing
which
is
a
thin
letter
layer
that
sort
of
protective
code
coding
that
gets
us
much
more.
M
P
Thank
you.
Moving
on
from
there
O'neill
pool
it
looks
like
it's
a
wash
500
M
500
out
on
there,
but
with
that
not
opening
this
year,
it's
not
going
to
happen.
Where
do
where?
Are
we
just
writing
that
as
a
wash
in
there?
Why
do
we
still
have
that
in
the
budget?
When
we
know
that's
not
going
to
happen.
M
And
that's
part
of
our
April
17th
Committee
of
the
whole
presentation
is
just
sharing
an
update
on
the
O'neill
pool
and
that's
something
that
truly
was
a
very
recent
decision
with
all
the
involved
stakeholders.
So
we're
going
to
update
the
community
next
week
on
that
project.
But
we
had
held
on
to
Hope
up
until
mid
late
March
that
it
was
going
to
be
open.
P
Thank
you
and
then
page
five.
Please
of
the
slide
presentation.
P
Thank
you,
I'm
confused
here
you
put
a
plus
1.4
million
for
the
police
and
fire
pensions
are
we
are
we
actually
putting
an
additional
1.4
million
in
than
what
we
normally
would
have,
or
are
we
meeting
the
obligation
that
we
had
said
in
in
the
council
had
set
years
ago
and
saying
we're
going
to
meet
this
obligation
this
year
this
year
this
year,
Etc?
Or
is
this
an
additional
1.4
million
on
top
of
that
this
year?
Because
of
the
increase
in
the
assessed
value.
O
I'll
have
to
answer
that
in
kind
of
in
two
pieces.
This
particular
line
item
is
just
related
to
the
tax.
The
tax
revenue
increase,
so
1.4
million
of
the
full
7.2
million
tax
increase
was
related
to
the
levy
being
increased
so
that
that
1.4
million
on
that
line,
I
am
is
this
related
to
the
tax
increase.
The
1.4
million
of
the
levy
went
to
fill.
We
had
a
1.8
million
dollar
hole
related
to
the
actuarially,
determine
contribution
to
keep
us
on
the
100
Target
by
the
year
2040.
The.
G
O
Million
so
there
was
a
1.8
million
dollar
hole
related
to
restricted
revenues
from
the
levy
utility
tax
and
then
a
small
replacement
tax
component.
So
the
1.4
million
went
to
fill
up
the
1.8
million,
so
was
it
in
it
wasn't
to
increase
the
contribution
it
was
to
have
the
funds
available
for
the
contribution.
O
P
But
down
on
the
bottom,
in
our
total
and
our
total
revenue,
we're
adding
we've
got
seven
million
extra
in
our
general
fund
122
to
well
that's
from
last
year,
122
to
129
million.
Where
what's
what
is
our
projected
increase
in
Surplus
for
fiscal
year
2024.?
We.
O
Are
actually
anticipating
if
you
look
at
the
Top
Line,
we're
anticipating
using
3.4
million
okay
of
reserves,
so
we're
actually
reducing
our
reserves
in
24.,
so
the
correlation
between
that
increase
in
revenues
you'd
have
to
go
to
the
expenditure
exhibit.
So
if
we
went
to
the
next
slide,
please
there's
a
6.7
million
dollar
corresponding
increase
in
expenses
related
to
the
increase
in
revenues.
O
But
3.4
million
of
that
increase
in
revenues
was
related
to
well
that
that
was
the
total
630
000
was
an
increase
in
the
use
of
reserves,
but
we're
actually
talking
about
using
reserves.
Next
year,
all
things
being
held
equal
if
the.
If
the
actuals
come
in
exactly
like
the
budget.
C
Just
to
follow
up
on
that
that
last
conversation
are
you
saying
that
we
would
have
not
met
the
required
pension
funding
requirements
or
the
police
and
fire?
Had
we
not
made
this
change.
O
No
I
mean
the
city's
commitment
is
to
fund
at
a
hundred
percent,
so
we
we
were
low
and
then
by
utilizing
the
levy
to
make
up
that
whole.
It
freed
up
revenues
to
address
other
things
like
roads
and
sidewalks.
So
if
we
had
not
done
that,
we
we
would
have
still
Source
revenues,
but
we
may
not
have
been
able
to
do
other
things.
C
So,
just
processing
that
for
a
minute,
sounds
like
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
we
we,
we
moved
the
obligation
to
this
tax
levy
and
then
redirected
the
funds
that
were
freed
up
toward
other
things,
and
if
that's
the
way
it
is
I
I.
You
know
just
just.
Let
me
know
that
I
know,
as
we've
discussed
before
I
left,
with
the
impression
in
December
that
we
were
increasing
our
contributions
to
the
public
safety
pensions
by
the
amount
of
the
eav.
C
As
per
seeing
the
plus
1.4
on
many
of
our
documents,
and
it
sounds
like
maybe
there's
a
footnote,
but
that
might
not
be
exactly
a
correct
understanding
on
my
part.
O
Yeah,
if
it,
if
it
came
off
that
way,
I
apologize,
but
the
exhibits
that
we
presented
during
the
levy
show
the
12.3
million
dollar
contribution
that
was
prepared
and
calculated
by
our
actuaries
to
keep
us
on
track
for
the
100
funding
Target
and
then
the
revenues
related
that
we
had
restricted
that
we
were
expecting
and
then
it
showed
a
1.8
million
dollar
deficit.
And
then
there
was
a
secondary
column
that
showed
what
the
deficit
would
be
if
we
were
to
increase
the
levy
by
1.4
million.
O
O
C
So
was
that
called
out
at
all
by
the
auditing
firm
that
reviews
the
pensions
for
our
funding
process?
I
haven't
read
the
full
report,
but
in
preparation
tonight
I
did
pull
it
up
to
see
you
know.
Was
there
any
lag
indicated
that
we
had
a
shortfall
that
we
needed
to
to
address
through
capturing
this
additional
tax.
O
As
long
as
we
make
that
contribution,
there's
there's
no
flag,
that's
created
related
to
that
I
mean
it's
just
that
the
communication
is.
We
have
certain
revenues
that
are
restricted
for
pensions
right
and
in
the
past,
like
back
2016,
we
had
extra
funds.
We
were
setting
aside
extra
funds,
so
we
had
a
reserve
built
up.
We
started
being
short
a
few
years
ago
and
I
communicated
that
to
council
that
we
were
utilizing
Reserves,
that
utility
tax
Reserve
to
fulfill
that
contribution.
C
Well,
it's
my
impression
that
others
left
with
that
belief
as
well.
I'll
set
that
aside,
though,
but
I
do
have
some
other
questions
about
the
budget,
just
starting,
even
with
the
context
shared
tonight
that
it's
exciting
that
we're
in
a
period
of
more
and
talking
about
the
quality
of
life
that
we're
investing
in
on
behalf
of
our
residents
and
the
first
thing
that
that
causes
me
to
do
is
just
step
back
and
reflect.
C
Is
that
our
definition
of
where
we
are
or
what
our
residents
believe
from
their
perspective?
They
are
in
their
households
in
a
period
of
more
and
the
quality
of
life
that
they
would
like
to
have
for
their
families.
C
You
know
is:
is
it
from
their
perspective
as
well?
Is
that
how
they
would
see
things
and,
and
that's
more
of
a
rhetorical
question
as
I
look
at
the
budget
Trends
over
these
last
few
years,
a
person
that
owns
a
home
some
years
have
to
buy
a
new
roof.
That's
a
capital
expense,
but
they
can't
back
that
out.
If
they're
total
financial
situation
and
kind
of
grade
themselves
differently
on
that,
they
have
to
balance
and
find
balance
in
capital
expenses
and
in
Saving
for
things
that
they
need
to
do.
C
That
certainly
applies
to
us
as
well.
You
know
when
I
think
about
the
people
who
live
here,
I
mean
one
thing
that
we
could
do
to
improve.
Their
quality
of
life
would
be
to
allow
them
to
keep
more
of
their
own
money.
I
mean,
as
we
look
at
things
like
utility
tax
with
built-in
inflation
writers,
where
we
have
the
benefit
of
allowing
our
operations
to
receive
a
three
percent
increase
by
charging
our
customers
more
year
over
year.
C
When
we
talk
about
roads,
we
talk
about
them
in
terms
of
how
much
money
we're
spending,
but
I
believe
that
we
can
link
that
to
what
we
are
getting
or
that
spend
I
I
think
that's
a
gap
in
how
we're
running
our
operations
today
and
yes,
I
agree
with
the
city
manager
that
there's
a
high
degree
of
variability
and
a
high
degree
of
variability
exists
throughout
work
being
performed
in
all
kinds
of
environments
in
every
department.
But
we
still
have
to
have
a
framework
for
understanding
and
managing
that
I
mean
as
we
sit
here
tonight.
C
It's
you
know
we're
a
week,
or
so
after
seeing
news
reports
in
our
neighboring
area
that
the
community
of
Pekin
has
chosen
to
spend
17
million
dollars
on
their
roads
over
this
fiscal
year
coming
up
and
I'm,
not
saying
that
it's
right
or
wrong,
or
that
the
amount
we're
spending
is
right
or
wrong.
But
what
I
am
saying?
And
this
anchors
back
to
23
months
now
of
being
on
this
Council,
my
starting
point
in
our
earliest
meetings,
which
is
we
need
to
create
a
framework
for
managing
the
operations
that
creates
transparency
into
the
work?
C
That's
getting
done
and
align
our
resources
around
that
so
that
we
can
answer
the
questions
emphatically
with
confidence
if
we
are
accomplishing
more
at
the
same
or
less
cost.
I
continue
to
see
that
as
a
gap
and
I
think
that
Gap
I
will
continue
to
bring
up
because
I
believe
it's
unambiguous
in
its
opportunity
for
us.
You
know
with
that.
You
know
one
other
thing
and
we're
going
to
talk
about
this
a
little
bit
later.
C
But
you
know
when
we
look
at
feedback
from
our
residents
and
I
can
only
speak
to
the
ones
who
call
me
and
share
concerns
about
their
perception
of
City
operations
and
things
of
that
nature.
We
have
opportunity
to
improve
in
things
like
trash
pickup
in
downtown
Bloomington.
All
of
us
received
a
note
about
that
in
the
last
week
or
two
and
the
same
thing
with
Russian
leaf
pickup
and
our
routine
operations
along
the
way.
C
C
In
my
experience
to
know
how
many
people
you
meet,
you
need
to
know
how
your
work
is
being
performed
and
what
work
you
have
to
be
performed
with
Precision
to
develop
a
model.
My
last
question
for
you
relates
to
that
in
the
comments
along
the
way
about
being
at
the
2010
headcount,
tell
me
more
about
how
that
was
arrived
at
and
what
analytics
support
the
needs
for
Staffing
at
that
level.
M
The
my
predecessor
cut
the
organization
I
think
that
there
was
a
need
to
do
that
and
that's
the
reference
to
the
2010
number
so
over
the
course
of
the
five
years
that
I've
served
here
the
first
year
or
so
we
actually
combined
Department.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
I
think
we're
down
to
three
minutes
here
and
we
have
what
still
have
one
two
three
four
people
who
would
like
to
speak.
There.
R
A
Oh
good,
second,
okay,
all
right
roll
call
right.
A
A
Thank
you,
councilman
bowling.
D
Yeah
thanks
Scott
I
appreciate
you
going
over
this
many
many
times,
because
every
time
you
do
I
learn
and
see
something
else.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
my
major
concern
going
forward
just
like
the
item
that
was
in
the
for
the
facility
out
by
the
lake
labor
materials,
is
going
to
go
up
and
up,
and
my
concern
is
that
many
of
these
capital
projects
will
suffer
and
definitely
affect
the
budget.
O
Well,
it's
difficult
to
see
how
high
prices
are
going
to
go
and
if
things
are
going
to
stabilize
I,
think
there's
a
compounding
of
things
or
supply
chain
issues,
but
everything's
just
still
really
hot
too.
So
contractors
are
still,
you
know
not
interested
unless,
unless
you
pay
for
a
higher
amount,
so
you
know
there's
a
hope
that
it's
going
to
stabilize
and
normalize.
O
You
know
I've
mentioned
that
you
know
you
can't
control
expenses,
but
hopefully
you
can
manage
them
through
the
short
term,
and
this
is
that's
an
example
of
managing
expenses
by
you
know,
seeing
if
we
can
put
off-
or
you
know
utilize,
other
resources
buy
some
time
if
you
will
so,
if
you
know
you
know
we,
we
have
to
take
a
snapshot
in
time
for
the
budget
related
to
the
plan
and
which
projects
we
can
address
and
what
you
know.
We
hope
they're
going
to
cost.
O
If
we
start
going
down
that
path
and-
and
we
see
that
prices
have
sustained
at
a
higher
rate-
will
have
to
readdress
reprioritize
and
you
know,
look
at
our
available
resources.
So
it's
it's
going
to
be.
You
know
eyes
on
constantly
kind
of
operation,
but
we're
you
know,
that's
that's
what
we
do
anyway.
Okay,
well.
D
Yeah
I'm,
just
if
you
think
things
are
going
to
go
up,
30
percent
I
mean
that's
a
possibility.
It's
let's.
You
know,
let's
say
the
the
the
flood
control
stuff.
You
know
it's
budgeted
at
this
amount,
but
it's
actually
going
to
cost.
Maybe
30
percent
more.
Would
that
come
out
of
the
reserves
or
would
it
then
be
moved
down
the
road
at
some
point?
Well,.
O
O
But
you
know
you
know
what
the
those
larger
projects
are
in
the
Enterprise
funds
and
one
of
the
benefits
of
having
that
nice
Reserve
balance
in
the
general
fund,
especially
during
this
environment,
is
to
kind
of
be
a
backstop
for
that
other
activity,
so
kind
of,
like
we've,
we've
discussed
utilizing
some
cash
from
the
general
fund
for
Locust
golden
and
saving
interest
expense
for
those
funds
that
could
be
elevated
at
a
level.
I
guess
to
addressing
cost
increases.
O
It's
just
kind
of
a
weird
environment
and
I
think
you
know
Genie
the
library
you
know
there.
It
seems
like
their
costs,
are
coming
in
pretty
close
to
what
they
were
expecting.
You
know
it's
a
lot
of
it's
locked
in
and
stuff
like
that,
but
I
haven't
heard
from
her.
You
know
any
Rumblings
from
the
contractors
Etc
et
cetera,
so
I
access.
My
point
is
I'm
still
remaining
hopeful
that
you
know
there's
going
to
be
stabilization
related
to
some
of
this
activity
and
these
price
increases.
O
Well,
I
I
think
there's
you
know
just
like
the
the
items
coming
before
council
tonight.
You
know,
there's
always
going
to
be
that
opportunity
for
Council
to
weigh
in
and
help
prioritize.
So
you
know
with
this
particular
situation.
I
mean
Kevin
could
speak
to
it,
but
there's
flexibility
within
this
this
plan.
You
know
that
that
can
be
utilized
some
other
projects
or
might
not
be
that
flexibility.
Okay,.
Q
Thank
you
for
all
your
work
on
this
and
for
leading
us
through
this
and
giving
us
guidance.
Can
you
clarify
just
a
couple
of
of
things?
For
me,
the
10
million
dollars
for
asphalt
and
concrete
is
primarily
for
repairs
and
and
maintenance
right,
as
opposed
to
new
projects,
and
the
other.
The
other
26.7
was
that
is
that
number
right
is,
is
for
newer
projects
right.
H
O
Those
are
two,
the
two
large
projects
right
like
the
Fox,
Creek
Road
and
Bridge
and
Hamilton
Road
I,
don't
know
if
I
have
a
split
between
new
versus
repair
and
on
the
road
component.
I
mean
okay,
I,
guess
in
a
way,
it
kind
of
depends
on
how
you
define
new
versus
repair.
You
know
I'm,
not
sure,
for
but.
Q
Q
Okay,
but
we
get
to
decide
how
to
spend
that
right.
Okay,
so
we're
spending
it
the
other.
The
other
point
that
I
want
to
just
clarify
the
water
sewer
and
storm.
What
we're?
What
we're
spending
on
that
comes
to
about
20.3
million
dollars?
Is
that
right?
Yes,
okay,
so
roughly
25
of
this
budget
that's
proposed
is
for
capital
projects.
Roughly
25
of
this
budget
is
for
Public
Safety
right,
so
we
live
in
a
community.
We
are
not
a
bunch
of
individuals.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Yeah
Let's
see
we
have
council
member
Crumpler
I'll.
Take
note
that
you
you're
making
a
motion
but
go
ahead.
Okay,.
F
Thank
you,
mayor,
Scott
I
wanted
to.
B
A
N
A
F
Okay,
so
it's
been
seconded
all
right,
so
Scott
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
to
you
and
your
staff
providing
early
drafts,
comprehensive
budget
books
and
continued
updates
on
the
fy24
budget
process
and
I
want
to
say
key
for
me
to
understand
that
process
has
been
listening
to
the
diverse
views
of
my
colleagues
on
this
body.
F
Does
the
budget
move
forward
and
I've
really
learned
a
lot
from
these
discussions
and
greatly
appreciate
all
of
them
overall
I
see
evidence
of
of
responsible
fiscal
planning
on
priorities
for
improvement
and
investment
in
the
future
of
this
community
and
I
will
vote
to
adopt
this
budget.
I
G
Thank
you,
mayor
and
I'll.
Try
to
be
quick
and
not
too.
A
G
Check
because
I
took
a
bunch
of
notes
but
yeah
thank
you
to
Scott
Chris,
the
whole
financial
team.
Thank
you
to
all
the
directors,
Billy
and
Tim
for
all
the
work
on
on
this
and
yeah
just
to
highlight.
You
know
we're
spending
64
million
in
public
safety,
75
million
on
on
our
infrastructure
and
I.
Think
I
saw
what.
I
G
Spending
15
million
on
Parks
so
just
to
go
to
show
one
or
whatever,
or
what
our
priorities
are
and
then
yeah
with
regard
to
Staffing
I
I
think
that
you
know
how
it's
increased
since
2010
I
think
you
can
compare
that
with
the
roadwork
by.
I
G
At
some
past
statistics
you
know
we
yeah,
we
were
doing
we're
doing
basically
nothing
for
Road
Improvement
around
that
period
of
time,
and
so
that's
increased
on
the
way
to
10
million
expect
sample
to
increase
at
that
time.
At
that
pace
as
well,
I
think
Staffing
increases
matches
at
the
initiatives
that
we've
approved.
G
You
know
and
I
know
our
residents
appreciate
all
the
infrastructure,
that's
being
done.
I.
M
G
For
instance,
in
Eastgate
appreciate
the
acceleration
of
the
Lucas
Colton
project
and
also
other
member
other
residents
of
the
city.
With
regard
to
you
know,
with
regard
to
the
water
basin
and
and
I
think.
G
Going
back
to
Scott's
Point
since
2016
the
budget's
only
gone
up
three
percent
per
year,
which
is
a
very
reasonable
amount
and
then,
with
regard
to
a
police
pension.
G
Don't
think
that
was
ever
a
discussion
with
regard
to
increasing
the
amount,
because
we
already
pay
100
and
we
only
have
to
pay
90
for
pensions
and.
G
In
one
of
the
prior
meetings,
if
you
take
the
last
nine
years
that
extra
10
it
equals
16.2
million,
basically
we
were.
O
G
We
be
part
of
our
property.
Tax
levy
goes
to
pension,
so
we
were
increasing.
You
know
that
amount
and.
G
I
think
you,
you
know,
I
think
you
look
at
the
elections
and
it
shows
you
that
people
do
believe
that
we're
on
the
right
path
with
expanding
our
library.
You.
G
I
G
The
west
side,
with
O'neill
pool
and.
I
A
Okay,
so
the
item
passes
or
two
days
to
announce.
A
And
thank
you
very
much
Scott
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done,
that
it's
a
tremendous
coming
back
here.
What
how
many
times
six
seven
eight
times
so
I
want
to
thank
you
and
you
and
your
staff,
and
also
city
manager,
Gleason
and
staff,
for
all
the
work
you've
done
on
this
okay.
So
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
item
8B
consideration,
action
on
an
ordinance
amending
the
budget,
ordinance
and
I.
Basically,
we'll
call
this
the
Julie
Emig
item
right,
Amendment,
you're,
very
important
when
you
have
an
amendment
named
after
you.
A
A
Okay,
we're
going
to
move
on
to
item
8C
of
a
consideration,
an
action
on
an
ordinance
approving
a
site
plan
and
a
special
use,
with
a
variance
to
allow
a
restaurant
use
with
a
drive-through
in
the
B1
General
commercial
in
B2,
local
commercial
district
for
property
located
at
1609
West
Market
Street,
as
requested
by
the
economic
development
and
Community
Development
Department
C
magic,
Gleason,.
M
Thank
you,
mayor
and
Council
before
I
turn
this
over
to
the
economic
community
development
director,
Melissa,
Hahn,
I
guess
I
just
want
to
share
something:
she'll
speak
to
the
specifics
of
this
project
and
development,
but
I
want
to
I,
guess,
speak
to
and
celebrate
the
process
itself.
This
is
not
development
for
development's
sake.
Plan
commission
receives
this
first
and
they
did
their
due
diligence
and
saw
some
issues
or
some
concerns
that
was
passed
on
to
the
developer.
M
The
developer
was
very
supportive
and
heard
those
concerns
that
came
out
of
planned
commission
Melissa
and
her
team
took
this
and
turned
this
into
a
project.
That's
before
Council
this
evening,
with
the
recommendation
to
adopt
this
communication,
that's
occurred.
You
know
back
to
the
plan
commission
what
had
occurred
with
the
developer.
I
truly
think
that
this
is
a
process
that
worked
and
again
I
would
like
to
celebrate
that,
along
with
you,
know,
running
aside
Melissa's
presentation,
where
she's
going
to
actually
talk
about
specific
specifics.
S
Thank
you
and
good
evening,
mayor
council
and
city
manager,
we're
very
excited
to
have
before
you
this
evening,
this
ordinance
for
a
site
plan
with
special
use
and
a
landscaping
variance
to
allow
a
restaurant
with
a
drive-through
at
1609
West
Market,
as
the
city
manager
mentioned.
The
reason
this
item
is
on
the
regular
agenda
is
because
it
did
not
receive
a
positive
recommendation
from
the
Planning
Commission
how
it
was
originally
presented.
S
After
that
Planning
Commission
meeting
the
petitioner
went
back
and
provided
some
modifications
to
the
site
plan
to
address
the
concerns
that
they
heard
from
the
Planning
Commission.
Those
modifications
include
removal
of
five
parking
spaces
at
the
west
side
near
the
vehicle
entrance
to
the
site
to
improve
Vehicles
exiting
they're,
also
adding
the
drive-through
bypass
lane,
and
that
was
originally.
They
had
requested
a
variance
to
not
install
that
bypass
lane,
but
they
have
now
installed
the
bypass
lane
to
their
site
plan
and
that
completely
removes
the
need
for
that.
A
Second,
okay
motion
by
council
member,
not
in
the
end
in
second
by
council
member
Ward,
are.
Q
Q
D
I
yeah
I
have
a
question
about
the
floor.
Plan
is
not
included
in
the
packet.
What
is
the
seating
capacity.
S
I,
don't
know
that
I
know
the
full
seating
capacity
I
believe
we
do
have.
It
is
2200
square
feet
in
size.
D
D
I
did
read
the
packet
and
I
understand
that
Starbucks
has
a
standard
of
parking
around
40.
spots
or
six
to
eight
employees.
Usually
those
Starbucks
have
a
seating
capacity
of
about
15..
You
know
the
one
on
Washington
Street
I,
considering
that
that
area,
and
especially
on
the
west
side
in
Ward
7,
has
flooding
issues.
I
would
prefer
to
have
all
the
parking
spaces
removed
on
the
near
the
entrance.
D
D
and
that
that
great
infrastructure
be
replaced
with
green
infrastructure,
so
that
there's
permeable
surfaces
I,
don't
know
what
the
the
what
Alderman
Ward
and
Alderman
montany
think
about
that.
But
I
I
would
like
to
I.
Don't
know
what
the
procedure
would
be,
but
I
mean
I
would
ask
what
they
think
about
that
I'm
in
favor
of
the
development
I'm
concerned
about
the
you
know,
the
traffic
flow,
although
it
was
approved
by
idot,
but
I,
am
concerned
about
so
much
great
infrastructure
in
an
area
that
doesn't
have
good.
D
S
D
D
You
know
feedback
from
the
people
that
made
the
motion
to
see
if
they
what
they
think
about
this
suggestion.
Q
So
it's
my
understanding.
There
are
only
34
spots
to
begin
with.
Is
that
is
that
not
right,
because
that's
what
it
says
here
at
34
parking
spaces.
So
if
I'm
not
sure
how
many
you're
talking
about
removing
but
I
would
not
be
in
favor
of
that,
the
the
location
of
the
site
is
different
from
the
the
Starbucks
on
Washington.
Q
It's
right
near
the
interstate
I.
Could
imagine
people
wanting
to
get
off
the
road
and
go
to
the
bathrooms
stretch,
their
legs
and
so
forth,
and
and
it's
a
different
location
altogether
than
the
the
Starbucks
on
Washington.
D
Think
the
34
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
Melissa
the
34
parking
spaces
are
to
the
east.
I
guess
I
mean
in
the
larger
section.
S
That
would
be
down
to
41
spaces,
so
they're
they're
going
to
come
in
now
and
remove
those
additional
spaces
in
the
front
of
the
five
spaces.
They
also
need
to
accommodate
staff
right
for.
I
S
Their
employees,
parking
and-
and
so
my
concern
would
just
be
that
with
this
site,
there's
not
going
to
be
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
on-street
parking,
and
we
also
wouldn't
want
people
to
park.
You
know
illegally.
You
know
whether,
where
there
isn't
parking
available.
C
So
in
response,
I
support
council
member
Ward's
comments,
I
agree
that
we
should
leave
the
spaces
I,
think
you
summed
it
up
well
in
terms
of
people
pulling
off
the
highway
there
and
also
needing
parking
for
all
those
people
in
Ward
7.
Who
would
love
to
have
a
place
to
go?
Get
coffee
right.
A
Yeah
go
ahead,
Jeff
and
then
we'll
go
to
councilman
Urban.
Oh.
G
I'm,
sorry,
I'm,
sorry,
okay,
so
my
two
I
guess
made
comments.
You
know
I
I'm,
not
sure
you
know
the
the
developers
seem
to
be
pretty
quick
after
the
Planning
Commission
vote
to
say,
yeah
we'll
put
in
a
bypass.
I
G
Presented
a
Planning
Commission,
they
said
hey,
you
know
this
is
going
to
make
it
infeasible.
We've
got
to
talk
to
FEMA,
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
could
have
pushed
before
the
Planning
Commission
meeting
push
a
little
bit
more
on
the
bypass
getting
getting
approved.
Secondly,
just
a
little
bit
concerned
about
the
process
because,
as
they.
I
I
G
Hamilton
cycle
crosswalk,
since
the
Planning
Commission
we
see,
appears
beginning
to
additional
evidence.
You
know.
I
G
From
the
developer,
both.
I
G
Then,
even
just
you
know
being
told
that
Planning
Commission
members
are,
you
know
agreeable
with
you
know,
with
with
these
changes
versus
maybe
the
proper
process
of
sending
it
back
to
the
Planning
Commission
on
the
part
of
their
approval.
So
but
that's
all
I
have.
T
You
so
my
first
question:
Melissa
did:
did
Planning
Commission
or
staff
actually
go
out
to
the
site
and
look
at
the
site.
T
Okay
and
they
there
is
an
access
road
right
next
to
this
corner
lot,
and
this
is
the
road,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
that
they
could
not
negotiate
to
get
access
for
people
to
go
in
there.
There
is
nothing
to
keep
people
from
actually
going
in
there
when,
when
you
drive
out
there,
it's
not
unusual
to
sit
out
there
and
watch
people
just
go
straight
across
and
after
they've
gone
over
to
where
the
Chase
Bank
sits,
then
they
go.
Oh
wait
I'm
in
and
then
they're
turned
back
around
to
traffic.
T
One
of
the
things
that
I
don't
want
to
see
is
traffic
backed
up
on
Market
Street,
while
people
are
waiting
to
pull
into
the
slot,
and
and
so
that
that
is
definitely
a
concern
as
well,
because
you
know
as
much
as
I
I
agree
that
I
would
like
to
pull
in
there
and
get
coffee
if
the
line
is
all
the
way
back
to
Henshaw
I'm,
probably
not
going
to
be
very
happy
because
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
get
through
so
I
I
definitely
have
a
lot
of
concerns
about
the
traffic
flow
and
the
fact
that
they
didn't
even
want
to
put
a
bypass
lane.
T
So
lots
of
red
flags
for
me
and-
and
that
concerns
me
because
I
have
been
I-
went
out
there
and
looked
at
it
because
I
was
like
you
know
what
what
road
were
they
talking
about
between
Chase
there,
so
very
concerning
and
I,
but
I
also
want
to
bring
back.
You
know
like
Donna
said
this
is
a
lot
of
gray
space.
This
is
a
lot
of
concrete.
T
You
know,
and
and
I
get
that
we
need
concrete
for
most
things,
but
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
Julie,
Emig
and
I
both
we're
very
driven
to
more
green
space
in
our
plans
and
I
agree
with
council
member
Bolin.
We
kind
of
are
taking
that.
You
know
previous
agreement
that
we
needed
more
green
space
and
we're
throwing
that
aside
to
create
a
traffic
jam
and
one
of
the
most
heaviest
driven
roads
out
there
and
it
seems
like
we're
creating
possibly
more
of
a
problem
than
a
solution
and
I'm
quite
concerned
actually
about
it.
T
So
if
I
sit
here
and
I
go
yes,
you
know
I
want
Starbucks,
which
I
I
do
but,
let's
be
honest,
I'm
a
huge
coffee
fan.
On
the
other
hand,
I
could
be
inconveniencing
a
lot
of
people,
let's
stop
and
think
about
the
fact
that
Washington
Street's
still
closed
and
we're
still
rerouting
all
that
traffic
out
there.
I
realized
we're
supposed
to
get
that
one
open,
but
we
kind
of
I
don't
want
this
to
become.
Hindsight,
is
2020.
T
right,
so
I
have
a
lot
of
hesitation.
I
think
that
if
the
emotioner
and
the
seconder
are
willing
to
amend
and
say,
let's
clean
this
back
up
and
put
some
green
space
in
here
where
people
can
stop
and
stretch
their
legs,
take
their
dog
over
to
the
Green
Space.
Let
them
go
to
the
potty,
whatever
they
got
to
do,
to
take
care
of
their
business.
T
I'd
be
a
little
bit
more
inclined
to
say
yes,
but
my
knee-jerk
reaction
right
now
is
I
would
have
preferred
to
have
sent
this
back
to
Planning
Commission
and
let
them
have
another
go
look
over
it
before
they
before
I
put
a
rubber
stamp
on
it,
so
I'm
not
going
to
rubber
stamp
it.
Unless
we
can
get
green
space
put
back
into
here
to
allow
for
those
people-
and
hopefully
we
won't
have
so
many
impatient
people
that
were
stuck
in
traffic
for
45
minutes
just
to
get
to
our
destinations.
T
A
I
was
just
going
to
ask:
how
does
that
impact?
You
know
their
ability
to
to
do
things
I'm.
My
concern
is
we're.
It
seems
like
there's
a
there
would
be
a
lot
of
moving
Parts.
You
know
when
you're
you're
telling
somebody
okay
reduce
the
space
and
so
I'd,
rather
for
that
to
be
looked
at
a
little
bit
more.
If
that's
the
direction
that
we
want
to
go
as
a
whole,
you
know
and
not
to
just
make
a
decision
today,
right
here
and
say
hey.
I
B
So,
just
procedurally
I'm,
not
100,
that
we
have
a
motion
to
amend
on
the
floor.
We
did
have
council,
member,
Ward
and
councilmani,
who
do
have
an
active
motion
on
the
floor
say
that
they
were
not
willing
to
amend
their
motion.
I'm,
not
sure
if
that's
changed.
B
If
council
member
Bull
in
your
intention
was
to
make
a
motion
for
the
amendment
and
councilmember
urban,
you
were
going
to
Second
it.
We
would
take
the
amendment
first
make
a
decision
on
that
and
then
go
back
to
the
original
amendment
by
a
council
member
Ward
and
council
member
Monty.
So
just
for
procedure,
there's
that's
where
you're
at.
G
D
I
ask
a
question
of
of
you:
how
can
we.
U
Yes,
so
I
think
councilmember
Craig
will
raised
a
a
good
point
of
not
bringing
in
new
testimony
okay,
so
we
have
had
a
change
in
the
proposal
and.
I
U
D
Sorry,
yes,
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
amend,
I,
think
I.
Think
the
primary
purpose
of
this
is
a
drive-through
for
people
to
that
might
be
coming
off
the
highway
to
get
their
Starbucks
fix
and
then
get
back
on
and
if
all
they're
doing
is
going
into
stretch
your
legs
and
use
the
restroom.
You
know:
okay,
they
can
park,
but
they're
not
going
to
be
sitting
there
in
the
parking
spot
for
an
hour
as
if
you're
going
in
to
eat.
D
D
Don't
know
what
the
seed,
how
many
seeding,
what
the
seating
situation
is,
but
I
do
know
in
the
other
Starbucks
in
town,
there's
a
dozen
or
15
seats
so
having
34
parking
spots
or
36
whatever
the
number
is
in
that
larger
area
of
parking
should
be
adequate
I'm
concerned
about
the
flooding
I'm
concerned
about
yeah
I'm
concerned
about
the
traffic
flow
too,
on
Market
Street,
but
that's
a
whole
other
story.
S
Yes,
to
remove
those
as
well
and
I
will
just
add:
I
mean
it
was
included
in
the
packet,
but
this
has
to
be
reviewed
by
idot
as
well.
So
there's
been
additional
oversight
there.
Okay,
because
Market
Street
is
I,
you
know
idot's
jurisdiction,
so
they've
reviewed
and
approved
the
original
and
reviewed
and
approved
the
modified
you
know
for
for
their
business
model.
S
You
know,
they've
got
a
standard
amount
of
parking,
it's
been
reduced,
you
know
due
to
our
accommodations,
because
that's
our
goal,
you
know
with
the
with
the
zoning
updates
that
we
did
is
to
reduce
some
of
that
parking
and
allow
you
know
for
additional
things
like
the
bike
parking
as
well
as
carpooling
access
to
public
transit
to
help
reduce
those
parking
numbers,
so
so
we're
not
having
as
much
concrete
and
that
we
are
having
more
Green
Space.
So
we've
we've
made
those
adjustments
as
well.
S
D
No
I
understand
that.
That's
the
question
I
was
going
to
ask,
but
that
you
know
that's
fine
I'm
more
of
a
fan
of
parking
minimums.
You
know
that's
kind
of
the
way,
I
lean
where
you
know
only
what
you
need.
You
know
during
peak
hours
and
more
green
space
to
care,
carry
that
runoff
and
and
limit
the
flooding.
That
would
happen
so
anyway
can.
A
R
Like
in
second
so,
what's
the
emotions
may
I
make
a
suggestion
to
for
everyone
to
consider
sorry
to
stir
the
pot
even
more,
but
it
sounds
like
wait.
Wait
my
colleagues
have
brought
up
are
more
questions
and
the
motion
to
eliminate
some
of
the
parking
spaces
and
potentially
create
more
green
space
is,
is
just
one
attempt
to
respond
to
a
concern?
Would
it
would
it
be
better
for
the
whole
to
table
the
vote?
Have
it
go
back
to
Planning
Commission,
and
then
we
we
would
have
to
go
back
and
re
redo.
R
The
initial
motion,
but
that
way
the
Myriad
of
issues
that
have
come
up
would
have
an
opportunity
to
go
through
the
process
and
that
and
instead
of
just
amending
to
to
add
another,
you
know
question.
D
Well,
I
do
know
that
there
was
a
lot
of
conversation
on
the
Planning,
Commission
and
yeah.
They
were
struggling
with
a
lot
of
these
issues
and
that's
why
the
vote
turned
out
the
way
it
did.
I
don't
see
a
value
of
sending
it
back.
We
would
end
up
having
the
final
say
anyway,
so
yeah
I
would
motion
to
amend
and
second,
whatever
I
mean
whatever
the
vote
turns
out,
it
is
what
it
is,
but
I
wanted
to
get
that
out.
There.
P
I
mean
there's
concrete
that
it's
permuted
permeable
I
can't
say
the
word
that
that
the
water,
some
water,
not
all
water,
but
water,
soaks
through
which
is
often
used
to
help
with
flood
control.
What's
the
plan
here?
Is
it
in
the
plan.
S
Q
I
mean:
do
we
trust
what
the
what
city
staff
have
done
or
not
I
mean
most
of
the
time
Council
I
hear
us
saying
we
need
to
trust
our
city
staff
to
do
their
job.
They
are
the
engineers
they
are
the
the
planners.
We
are
not
and
I,
hear
us
throwing
these
things
out
now
and
they've
done
due
diligence
here.
This
has
come
before
us
once
before
and
now
it's
being
booted
out
again,
the
idea
is
to
boot
it
out
again.
M
Thank
you,
mayor
and
Council
I
just
was
going
to
ask
Kevin
as
Public
Works,
director
John,
as
working
with
Melissa's
team,
of
what
you
heard
from
Council
and
and
the
goal
here
is
to
put
them
on
firm
ground
so
that
they
can
make
an
informed
decision.
Is
there
anything
that
you
heard
that
was
Astra
commented
to
that?
You
would
like
to
add
any
additional
information
and
then
to
the
developer.
M
Corporation
Council
said
that
you
can't
introduce
anything
new,
but
between
the
path.
You
know
the
pathway
between
the
original
proposal
that
plan
commission
turned
down
into
what
council
has
in
their
packets
tonight
to
consider.
Is
there
anything
that
you
would
like
to
comment
to
again
guarding
against
adding
any
new
information
foreign.
V
I
think
I
can
address
that
pretty
quickly.
You're
issues
with
the
additional
parking
or
the
lack
of
there's
41
spots
that
were
was
in
the
original
site
plan.
We've
reduced
five
of
those
or
actually
we've
reduced,
actually
more
with
the
addition
of
the
drive
lane
the
skip
the
pass
by
Lane,
which
was
an
operational
issue
to
begin
with,
that
Starbucks
typically
likes
to
have
in
their
projects
this
location.
They
did
want
additional
parking,
so
they
actually
gave
us
the
leeway
to
do
a
project
without
the
drive
lane
and
AD
parking,
which
again
was
at
41..
V
So
what
we've?
Since
done?
With
the
Planning
Commission
comments,
we
have
reduced
the
parking
of
the
five
that
was
to
the
west
of
the
entry
Access
Road
in
we
have
reduced
that
that
becomes
Green
Space.
What
we
also
had
to
do
is
reduce
some
parking
in
the
main
parking
field
because
of
the
additional
Drive
length.
V
The
good
news
is:
is
we've
actually
impervious
to
to
your
question?
It's
all
asphalt.
It's
all
asphalt
with
a
concrete
drive
lane,
so
it's
it's
not
pervious,
it's
all
impervious,
but
we
have
reduced
the
amount
of
impervious
because
of
the
reduction
of
the
parking
to
the
west
of
the
the
Access
Lane.
So
from
a
net,
we've
actually
reduced
the
overall
net
area
of
impervious
with
this
new
design.
A
W
I'll
just
say
that
engineering
staff,
you
know,
has
reviewed
everything
as
far
as
you
know,
traffic
drainage
and
so
forth
and,
as
a
you
know,
approved
moving
forward
with
this.
W
The
only
other
thing
that
you
know
I'll
note
is
that
part
of
the
site
is
in
the
flood
plain,
as
was
noted,
and
you
know,
but
the
building
itself
is
set
up
high
enough.
It
doesn't
affect
the
flood
plain.
The
flood
plain
has
been
managed
appropriately,
so
the
net
change
in
in
flood
volume
is
is
neutral,
and
you
know
at
such
time
as
a
site,
floods,
water
itself
is
impervious.
So
you
know
it's
you
can
say
before
the
big
flood.
W
B
All
right
council,
member
Walsh,
council,
member
crabill,
council
member
enig,
council,
member
ward,
council
member
Becker,
council
member
Crumpler,
council
member
Motley.
A
I
B
A
As
in
done
consideration
and
action
on
an
ordinance
amending
chapter,
2,
chapter
16,
chapter
23
of
the
Bloomington
city
code
relating
to
Deputy
city
managers,
as
requested
by
the
administration
department
and
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
city
manager.
Gleason
for
his
comments.
M
Thank
you,
mayor
and
Council
I
know.
The
council
has
been
prepped
with
this
request
that
I'm
making
tonight
and
would
recommend
approval,
but
for
the
community,
why
this
ask
and
why
I
feel
that
there
is
a
need
when
I
stepped
into
the
organization
five
years
ago,
I'm
going
to
use
the
word
more
in
a
different
context
and
I
used
it
earlier,
and
that
is
my
expectation
of
more
the
department,
directors
and
every
single
case.
M
So
we
have
12
divisions
or
departments
within
the
city
organization
and
I
have
a
total
of
15
direct
reports.
That
report
to
me
that
the
deputy
city
manager
tyus,
is
very
essential
in
helping
manage
those.
M
The
expectation
that
I
shared
is
one
that
I
knew
that
early
on
the
organization
could
support
two
Deputy
city
managers.
In
fact,
it
had
that
at
one
point
several
years
ago.
This
is
an
organization
of
650
plus
full-time
employees,
nearly
1100,
if
you
count
part-time
and
seasonal,
the
expectation
again
of
the
individual
departments
and
the
directors
that
run.
Those
departments
is
such
that
we
know
that
we
have
the
capacity
and
the
bandwidth
and
my
expectations
city
manager
to
provide
more.
M
But
there
is
an
accountability
component
to
this
and
with
a
second
Deputy
city
manager,
it
will
increase
I,
believe
the
efficiency
and
the
ability
for
us
to
keep
up
and
maintain
the
expectations
of
the
city
organization
and
I'll.
Take
any
additional
questions
if
there
are
any.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
E
More
more
comment
than
a
question
is:
is
city
manager.
Gleason
said:
we've
talked
about
this
he's
presented
the
idea,
knowing
a
little
bit
about
managing
people
at
the
level
he's
talking
about.
I
find
the
the
idea
of
a
span
of
control
of
15
kind
of
silly,
so
I
do
agree
that
there
is
a
need
for
this
person
and
I
and
I
think
that
this
person
can
help
us
to
use
your
word
achieve
more
and
get
more
results.
E
But
what
I'm
going
to
say,
I,
hope
and
what
I've
said
to
city
manager
Gleason
before
is
I
want
this
person
to
achieve
more
accountability
across
the
organization.
I
want
them
to
help
achieve
more
efficiency
across
the
organization,
so
that
the
next
budget
we
come
to.
We
can
say:
yes,
we
are
completing
all
these
capital
projects,
but
we're
doing
it
in
a
more
efficient
way,
because
we
have
a
stronger
management
team
controlling
all
of
the
planning
processes
and
working
together,
so
I
believe
it's
necessary.
E
A
Okay,
I
think
we
have
council,
member,
Motley,
Crumpler
and
then
Emig
and
bear
in
mind
the
time
here.
So
we
have
three
thirty
three
minutes
and
30
seconds.
C
I
just
like
to
build
on
the
comments
that
have
been
made.
Changing
a
reporting
relationship
doesn't
in
itself
create
any
efficiency,
changing
a
reporting
relationship
and
narrowing
the
span
of
control
in
this
case
can
certainly
help
with
bandwidth,
but
a
framework
for
accountability
in
a
systematic
way
of
managing
the
operations.
I
believe
is
a
gap
that
exists
everywhere,
not
just
here
in
our
community,
there's
always
a
gap
in
terms
of
the
opportunity
to
improve
how
work
is
done.
I
would
highly
recommend
the
person
who
is
selected
for
this
role.
F
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
agree,
I,
really
appreciated
councilmember
Becker's
points,
you
know
talking
about
efficiency
and
accountability
and
I
think
there's
a
large
potential
for
a
second
city
manager
to
do
that.
I
also
agree
with
council
member
excuse
me,
council,
member
montney's
call
for
a
development
plan.
F
I
think
that's
critical
for
this
person
and
then
I
would
like
to,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
this
is
a
potential
for
an
organization,
but
excuse
me
an
organizational
shift
that
is
much
more
in
line
with
a
Distributive
shared
model
of
leadership,
which
I
think
will
be
real
positive
for
the
community.
Thank
you.
A
R
You
I
just
want
to
add
that
that
I
think
this
will
improve
responsiveness,
because
in
in
I
would
say
the
abundance
of
what
I
have
observed
and
experienced
over
the
last
four
years
is,
as
constituents
really
appreciate
and
reasonably
ask
for
a
certain
level
of
responsiveness
from
City
staff
and
I
think
that
this
configuration
will
make
that
much
more
likely
to
happen.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
council
member
crabill,.
B
Actually,
I
apologize,
we
don't
have
a
motion
or
a
second
don't.
A
We
don't
yeah,
okay,
sorry,
okay,
I'm,.
I
A
So
who
made
a
motion?
Okay,
Ward
and
then
second,
okay,
Crumpler
there
you
go
okay,.
A
Okay,
the
item
passes
there
are
no
days
to
announce
awesome,
we're
gonna,
move
on
to
city
managers,
discussion.
M
Thank
you
mayor
and
Council
I'll
be
very
brief,
but
I
do
have
a
couple
of
slides
and
then
an
additional
comment
about
committee.
The
whole
next
week,
slow
art
day
on
Route
66.
This
is
April
15th
and
not
this
coming,
but
yeah
I'm.
Sorry,
it
is
this
coming
Saturday
and
next
slide.
Please
Farmers
Market
opening
day
is
May
6th,
and
that
is
here
in
the
downtown
we'll
be
shifting
to
our
spring
and
summer
events.
M
So
very
much
looking
forward
to
that
third
slide:
please
red
carpet:
Corridor
Festival
goers
will
enjoy
Savory
barbecue,
delicious
drinks
and
class
classic
cars,
and
that's
coming
up
on
May
6
downtown
Bloomington.
This
will
be
a
very
good
event
if
you're
into
food
live
music
and
classic
cars
next
slide,
please.
M
This
is
a
biggie
right
here.
Thank

Dispatchers
you've
got
Chief
simmington
in
the
back
row.
You've
got
Chief
West
with
the
fire
department.
The
dispatch
communications
center
is
run
by
Darren
wolf
and
we
have
a
tremendous
Communication
Center.
So
this
is
the
week
that
we
formally
celebrate
what
they
do,
which
I
know
we
do
that
every
single
day,
but
a
little.
You
know
additional
comment
about
our
communication:
Center.
They
receive
recognition
awards
at
State
and
National
level.
Individual
telecommunicators
receive
that
and
I
know
what
I'm
talking
about
here.
M
Having
a
public
safety
background,
they
truly
are
worth
their
weight
in
gold
and
truly
are
that
Lifeline
for
the
Community
member.
That
a
lot
of
times
is
having
their
worst
day
and
we're
trying
to
get
the
the
resources,
police
or
Fire
EMS
to
them
come
to
assist
them.
So
this
is
their
week
and
hats
off
to
them.
I
think!
That's
it
Catherine.
M
Manager
is
going
to
present
on
the
minority
business
Enterprise
with
the
expectation
or
hope
that
that
will
come
before
this
Council
on
April
24th
for
adoption,
but
a
presentation
first
and
then
also
bringing
back
the
Ada
presentation,
hopefully
again
with
the
adoption
before
this
Council
on
April
24th
and
then
lastly,
connect
Transit
is
going
to
come.
M
A
Thank
you
and
on
the
mayor's
discussion,
I
want
to
thank
mayor,
Pro,
tem,
Donna
Bowlin
for
filling
in
for
me,
March
24th,
while
I
was
in
Italy
great
trip
again
great
great
country
made
me
realize
even
more
the
importance
of
historic
preservation.
They
have
a
lot
of
it.
It
was
amazing,
so
I
would
recommend
that
to
anyone
and
I
also
learned
that
not
all
olive
oil
are
made
equal,
so
it
was
fantastic
and
then
I
wanted
to
highlight
an
event
that
happened.
A
This
Saturday
in
downtown
Bloomington
called
holy
moly,
which
was
a
a
an
event
celebrating
the
holy
festival,
and
it's
a
it's
an
Indian
celebration.
The
the
wonderful
thing
about
it
is
that
it
was
put
together
by
Southeast
Asian
students
at
the
nchs,
so
I
was
their
event.
I
think
they
had
a
little
bit
of
support
from
the
city
of
Bloomington
in
terms
of
you
know,
barricades
and
things
like
that
and,
and
then
their
advisors
at
their
school.
But
it
was
fantastic.
A
People
had
a
lot
of
fun
and
they're
hoping
to
make
it
an
annual
event.
So
look
forward
to
that
next
year
and
they've
already
inspired
others
to
to
do
the
same
in
downtown
Bloomington,
so
I
think
you're
going
to
see
a
lot
more
events
in
downtown
Bloomington
and
I.
I
A
I
also
want
to
I
know
we
had
an
election
last
week,
so
I
also
want
to
congratulate
the
incoming
council
members
and
looking
forward
to
working
with
all
of
them.
So
that
is
it
then
do
we
have
a
Council
comments?
Okay,
councilman
award,
I.
Q
Know
it's
late,
and
so
I
won't
take
a
lot
a
lot
of
time,
but
I
do
want
to
speak
on
behalf
of
certainly
council,
member
Bolin
and
myself,
but
I
think,
probably
Chief
simmington
and
maybe
even
Sergeant
nauers
as
well,
who
all
of
us
were
were
hosted
by
the
Islamic
Center
of
McLean
County
a
week
ago,
this
past
Sunday
for
a
Ramadan
iftar,
which,
if
you
aren't
familiar
with
what
that
is
it's
a
Breaking
of
a
fast
for
the
day.
Q
Anyway,
the
ongoing
Ramadan
fast
continues,
but
we
were,
we
were
hosted
in
fine
style.
It
was.
It
was
really
a
very
lovely
evening
and
I
personally
learned
a
lot
and
and
really
appreciated
the
opportunity
to
spend
time
with
with
people
in
the
community
and
felt
felt
very
honored
to
have
been
invited
to
that
actually
by
the
new
one
of
our
newest
members
of
our
cultural
commission,
Mr
Faisal
Rasheed.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
D
Yeah,
the
only
thing
I
want
to
add
to
that
was.
The
hospitality
was
just
outstanding
for
someone
that
had
fasted
for
18
hours
and
then
had
to
smile
on
their
face
and
served
us
with
graciousness
and.
D
For
being
a
different
culture,
there's
so
much
similarity
and
I,
just
love
that
and
one
of
the
all
the
women
got
gifts.
We
all
got
beautiful
scarves
to
take
home
and-
and
that
just
speaks
to
the
hospitality,
so
I
appreciate
being
invited.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
I
think
with
that
said,
then
I'm
gonna
entertain.
