we'll
get
him

just
a
second
and
then
I
know
that
trustee
bray
is
absent
and
we
have
trustee

we

scott.
Thank
you

trustee

a
second
second
second
by
trustee
emig,
I'm
not
sure
who

was
there,

I
recognized
julie's
voice
at
this
point.
Madam

you
call
the
role?
Thank
you
trustee.
D
A
G

Yes,

Thank

I

So
second,
by
trustee,
milo
wamboy,
any
discussion,
okay,
saying
that
madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
role
play?
What
oh?
I'm
sorry
did
somebody
have
a.
C
B
B
Okay,
I
guess
I
just
want
to
know
I'm
looking
at
the
different
numbers
here
and
it's
not
clear
to
me,
which
is
an
expenditure
and
which
is
in
revenue.
So
I'm
looking
at
connect,
transit,
26
000
dollars.
Could
you
explain
is
that
the
the
township
giving
connect
transit
that
money
or
connect
transit
is
giving
the
township
that
money
could.
I
You
please
trustee
boland,
tell
me
what
page
you're
on
for
that.
B
It's
kind
of
near
the
end:
it's
combined
statements
of
receipts
and
disbursements.
I
don't
have
a
page
number.
I
C
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
trustee
bowlin,
any
additional
questions.
Okay,
is
therefore,
is
there
a
a
motion.
H
D
A
G
A
A
Do
we
have
a
motion
to
accept
this,
and
then
we
certainly
can
have
questions
or
further
comments
here.
Any
motion
to
accept
this
as
presented.
C
I
Okay,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
note
for
the
minutes,
so
it's
put
in
order
that
that
trustee
bolin's
question
really
came
from
this
particular
agenda
item.
A
D
E
D
E
A
Do
we
have
any
comments
for
the
record
on
this
issue
or
concerns,
etc?.
I
I
need
to
make
one
comment:
please,
on
the
ordinance
itself,
this
is
supervisor
deb.
The
number
five
on
the
ordinance
was
accidentally
omitted
from
the
from
the
ordinance
it
was
on
last
2016's.
It
just
needed
to
be
added
to
it.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
anything
else
either
for
the
record
or
concerns.
Excuse
me:
okay,
thank
you!
So
much
and
we're
there's
no
action
particularly
required
on
this
we're
going
to
move
to
our
reports
by
our
elected
officials
and
we're
going
to
start
with
ms
skillrood
and
then
mr
scudder,
ms
gilroy.
I
Okay,
thank
you.
I
wanted
to
make
note
a
couple
of
things
that
are
on
my
my
supervisors
report.
The
113th
annual
educational
conference
for
township
officials
of
illinois
is
coming
up.
I
There
is
a
day
for
trustees
on
that
and
it's
99
township
covers
it
and
it
is
virtual
this
year,
so
if
you're
interested
in
attending,
I
think
if
madam
clerk
is
okay
with
this,
that
maybe
she
collect
the
names
and
figure
out,
you
know
and
then
get
them
to
me.
So
we
can
register.
D
A
Please
please
contact
leslie
yoga,
I'm
sorry
miss
gilroy.
I
One
way
or
the
other,
the
other
thing
that
I
have
wanted
to
make
note
of-
and
I
apologize
for
not
doing
this
two
sessions
ago,
trustee
craig
last
that
I
update
you
on
covid
impact
and
how
worth
I
just
missed
talking
about
it.
So
I
wanted
to
explain
to
you
and
based
I
put
this
in
the
supervisor's
report-
that
the
general
assistance
program
really
hasn't
been
impacted.
Much
due
to
code.
K
I
Oh
okay,
okay,
so
there
there
is
no
impact
at
this
point,
it's
very
minimal,
if
anything,
we're
seeing
clients
the
way
we
have
always
seen:
clients
they're
restricted.
You
know,
based
on
state
statute
and
guidelines
that
we
have
we
did
send
out.
I
did
send
out
a
report
to
everybody
regarding
how
many
referrals
came
from
the
city
of
bloomington
and
then
what
we
did
with
them
at
that
point,
most
of
those
we
we
only
accommodated
a
small
number
of
them.
I
I
believe
it
was
somewhere
around
10
or
11,
and
then
the
others
due
to
restrictions
that
we
have
at
township,
such
as
somebody
being
on
ssi
or
their
class
x
class,
one
drug
felons.
Some
of
those
things
restrict
us
from
being
able
to
help.
So
we
forward
those
on
to
mid-central
community
action.
Mid-Central
community
action
is
taking
at
at
least
at
this
moment,
taking
the
most
of
the
burden
for
the
help
that's
needed
in
our
community.
I
So
I
did
want
to
say
that
between
all
of
the
agencies
and
then
there's
an
additional
funding,
I
think
the
need's
going
to
be
covered
for
quite
a
while.
Let
me
explain
that
a
little
bit
township
helps
initially
for
a
majority
of
the
individuals,
and
then
we
refer
directly
to
the
central
community
action.
If
we
can't
help
midcentral
comey
actually
can
handle
three
months
worth
and
then
city
of
bloomington
in
my
understanding,
talking
with
jennifer
tony,
they
can
help
with
six
months
worth
of
help.
I
Now
I
just
learned
today,
with
karen
zangerly,
a
path
that
they
are
granted
emergency
solutions
grant,
which
is
340
000
interjected
into
our
community
to
help
with
rent
and
assistance
with
utilities.
For
what
did
she
say
just
six
months,
six
months
ongoing,
so
we've
got
a
lot
of
help
in
the
community.
I
don't
know
in
the
end,
if
township
will
be
affected
until
all
of
the
other
federal
funding
and
state
funding
is
exhausted,
so,
but
we're
here
and
ready
to
serve
the
need.
I
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
questions
of
the
skill
root
at
this
point.
I
Okay,
property
condition
assessment.
I
do
want
to
say
that
farnsworth
is
the
firm
that
offers
architectural
and
engineering
services
and
their
rfp
that
they
provided
to
the
township
is
the
type
of
work
that
they'll
be
doing
at
townships.
So
I
wanted
to
make
note
in
the
minutes
that
the
illinois
professional
services
selection
act
applies
to
that
type
of
work.
The
city
of
bloomington
has
a
satisfactory
relationship
with
farms
with,
and
we
want
to
continue
working
with
them.
L
And
there
he
goes.
Can
you
hear
me
yep
go
ahead?
The
assessments
were
published
in
the
pantograph
on
the
25th
of
september.
L
L
For
this
year
I
have
attached
a
form,
a
complaint
form
and
all
the
rules
for
the
county
board
of
review
to
the
package.
If
you
have
any
questions
on
any
of
the
appeal
process,
please
let
me-
or
anybody
in
my
office
know.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
at
this
point
is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn
so
moved
moved
by
trustee
matthew.
Is
there
a
second
second
second,
by
trustee
black,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
aye?
Okay,
we're
adjourned
I'll.
Given
that
we're
in
transition,
we
will
start
in
one
minute
in
case
anyone
might
need
a
little
bit
of
a
break
and
we're
going
to
start
yeah.
It
does
602.
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you.
We're
adjourned
we're
going
to
wait
for
one
minute
in
case
anyone
needs
a.
A
A
Okay,
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
call
the
meeting
of
the
city
of
bloomington
city
council
to
order
at
this
point
if
we
could
have
a
begin
to
do
a
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag.
Thank
you.
I
pledge
allegiance
pledge.
C
A
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll?
Thank
you.
C
C
M
A
N
Yes,
I
am
mayor
and
thank
you
just
to
look
up
the
the
compliance
checks
continued
by
the
bloomington
police
department.
We
are
seeing
compliance.
N
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
just
fyi
on
the
heels
of
what
mr
gleason
said
just
so
that
the
council
understands
it
for
the
public
record.
There
still
are
some
a
few
concerns
and
complaints
from
a
few
of
the
proprietors
in
town.
They
are
not
serious
they're,
not
repeated
offenses
they're,
just
situations
where
people
were
encouraged
or
proprietors
were
encouraged
to
comply
and
according
to
the
police,
there
was
immediate
compliance.
A
So
just
just
to
let
you
all
know
at
this
point
we're
going
to
move
to
a
proclamation
recognizing
october
4th
through
the
10th
2020
as
fire
protection
week,
as
requested
by
the
administration.
A
Excuse
me,
excuse
me
october
4th
through
the
10th
2020,
whereas
the
city
of
bloomington
is
committed
to
ensuring
the
safety
and
security
of
all
those
living
and
visiting
bloomington,
and
whereas
fire
is
a
serious
public.
Safety
concern
both
locally
and
nationally
and
homes
are
the
locations
where
people
are
at
greatest
risk
from
fire,
whereas
fire
home
fighters
killed
more
than
2
630
people
in
the
united
states
in
2017,
according
to
national
fire
protection
association
and
fire
departments
in
the
united
states,
responded
to
350.
A
And
whereas
working
smoke,
alarms
cut
the
risk
of
dying
in
reported
home
fires
in
half
and
whereas
bloomington's
first
responders
are
dedicated
to
replace
reducing
the
occurrence
of
home
fires
and
home
fire
injuries
through
prevention
and
protection,
education
and
whereas
bloomington
residents
are
responsive
to
public
education
measures
and
are
able
to
take
personal
steps
to
increase
their
safety
from
fire,
especially
in
their
homes.
And
whereas
the
fire
prevention
week
theme
serve
up
fire.
Protect.
A
Excuse
me:
fire
safety
in
the
kitchen
effectively
serves
to
remind
us
to
stay,
alert
and
use
caution
when
cooking
and
reduce
the
risk
of
kitchen
fires.
Therefore,
I
carry
renter
mayor
of
the
city
of
bloomington.
Do
hereby
proclaim
october
through
the
10th
2020
as
fire
protection
throughout
the
state,
and
I
urge
all
people
of
bloomington
by
checking
their
kitchens
for
fire
hazards
and
using
safe
cooking
practices
during
the
week
2020
and
to
support
the
many
public
safety
activities
and
efforts
of
bloomington
fire
and
emergency
services.
O
To
make,
thank
you
mary.
Yes,
I
would
like
to
say
a
couple
things
I'd
like
to
recognize
our
public
education
officer,
eric
davison
fire
prevention
week
is
obviously
a
week
long,
but
it
truly
spends
most
of
the
month
of
october,
getting
around
and
working
with
the
local
schools.
O
O
That's
that's
live
not
only
that
I
have
a
prominent
message
on
facebook
and
we
have
over
12
000
followers
on
our
facebook
account
and
many
of
our
posts
are
seen
by
over
35
000
people
and
then
finally,
eric's
also
working
with
the
public
education
division
of
the
chicago
fire
department
and
an
additional
29
229
agencies
throughout
the
state
of
illinois
to
provide
a
full
40-hour
schedule
of
fire
and
life
safety
topics
for
any
student
in
illinois
to
tune
into
throughout
the
fire
prevention
week.
O
A
D
So
we
actually,
we
had
an
issue
with
email,
we
don't
have
anyone
online
live,
but
we
do
have
six
people
present
in
the
fishbowl
and
it's
a
little
unorthodox.
I
don't
have
full
names
because
we
were
coming
up
with
a
non-electronic
process,
but
I'll
just
call
their
last
names,
long,
hurley
and
then
garcia.
D
Hello
they're
just
approaching.
P
The
immigrants
and
custom
enforcement
agency
is
a
broken
system
that
has
done
irreparable
harm
on
immigrant
children
and
their
families
and
continues
to
haunt
our
communities
and
destroy
lives.
I
watched
one
of
my
own
students
see
one
of
her
parents
taken
away
during
the
pandemic,
with
no
warning
that
put
their
family
in
a
position
where
my
student
had
to
overnight
become
the
sole
income
earner
for
their
siblings
and
mom,
while
also
trying
to
continue
school
and
achieve
a
degree.
That's
not
right.
P
It's
not
right
for
families
to
be
torn
apart,
stuck
in
cages
and
alone
now
across
the
country
over
two
thousand
children
and
tens
and
thousands
of
adults
remain
in
immigration,
detention
and
now
young
women
are
having
their
uteruses
forcibly
removed,
robbing
their
right
to
joy
of
having
a
family.
This
is
beyond
disturbing
and
unacceptable
that
anyone
is
treated
this
way.
We
need
our
local
municipalities
to
take
a
stand
and
refuse
to
work
with
ice.
We
need
a
welcoming
city's
ordinance
that
cuts
ties
with
ice
on
all
levels
of
government,
especially
local
police
work.
P
Coordination
with
ice
makes
our
local
government
complicit
at
nice's
crimes
and
against
humanity.
We
saw
the
town
of
normal
pass,
a
welcoming,
sydney's
ordinance
in
2018,
while
bloomington
failed
to
pass
one.
We're
asking
you
now,
as
isis
continue
to
destroy
people's
lives
and
separate
families
that
you
act
on
this
with
urgency
and
re,
introduce
the
welcoming
sydney's
ordinance
with
this
time
and
pass
it.
Thank
you.
Q
More
than
70
percent
of
people
held
in
detention,
centers
built
under
the
trump
administration
are
under
the
purview
of
the
new
orleans
field
office,
which
denied
99.1
percent
of
asylum
seekers.
Between
january
2017
and
march
2020
12
people
have
died
of
apparent
suicide
detention.
Centers
are
so
understaffed.
It
could
take
over
a
week
to
receive
any
medical
treatments
such
as
resetting
a
broken
bone
or
getting
a
life-saving
medication
such
as
an
albuterol
inhaler
for
an
asthmatic
such
as
myself.
Q
My
name
is
sarah
hurley.
I
am
a
resident
of
ward
6..
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
today.
I
stand
before
you
to
plead
for
an
acceptance
of
a
welcoming
ordinance
in
this
city.
We
have
seen
and
heard
the
atrocities
that
have
and
still
take
place
within
ice
detention,
facilities,
separating
families
losing
children,
rampant
disease
and
now
mass
hysterectomies
enough
is
enough.
The
trust
act
alone
does
not
protect
our
families,
our
friends,
our
co-workers
from
bias
from
racism
that
could
potentially
give
them
the
same
fate.
Q
So
I
call
upon
the
council
to
do
the
right
thing
because
to
call
this
city,
a
progressive
city
means
to
be
a
excuse.
Me
means
to
be
a
diverse
city
and
protect
all
of
the
people
who
live
here.
I
urge
the
council
to
act
swiftly
to
make
the
city
welcoming
not
only
for
the
business
owners
not
only
for
the
white
folks,
but
for
all.
Thank
you.
R
Garcia
hello,
my
name
is
sunny
garcia.
I
live
in
bloomington
in
ward
6..
I
am
here
today
to
implore
the
current
council
to
immediately
act
up
to
implement
a
welcoming
cities
ordinance
in
the
city
of
bloomington.
We've
been
fighting
for
years
to
protect
our
immigrant
brothers
and
sisters
that
live
here
in
bloomington.
We
have
mobilized
hundreds
of
mclean
county
residents
to
stand
up
demand
action
on
this
issue.
We
have
voted
out
a
20-year
incumbent
for
their
lack
of
courage
to
stand
up
for
the
rights
of
the
most
vulnerable
residents.
R
R
There
is
an
inherent
evil
and
violence
to
the
action
of
the
current
administration
and
their
modern
day,
brown
shirts.
They
systematically
dehumanize
human
immigrant,
men,
women
and
children
in
their
efforts
to
secure
more
votes
for
their
xenophobic
base.
Enough
is
enough.
It
is
time
to
it
is
time
to
officially
cut
all
ties
with
ice
on
all
government
levels
which
includes
city,
county
and
state.
We
expect
you
to
do
the
right
thing
and
pass
a
welcoming
cities
ordinance
by
the
end
of
2020.
Thank
you.
A
S
Scott
steimling,
ward,
five,
my
my
concern
is
I've
got,
I
know
an
individual
that
earned
her
citizenship.
She
came
from
another
country
and
this
is
absolutely
unforgivable
if
they,
if
they
want
to
earn
their
citizenship,
fine,
but
don't
let
them
just
crawl
under
the
fence.
S
S
It
amazes
me
that
we
have
had
several
quote
hundred
year,
reigns
recently
being
at
the
bottom
of
a
steep
hill.
These
plugged
the
inlets
up
one
time
it
got
so
bad.
It
was
started
up
my
drive
and
I
went
out
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
This
is
absolutely
unforgivable.
The
street
was
flooded.
S
This
shows
poor
planning
on
the
city's
part,
tim
gleason
applied
for
the
job
and
unfortunately
was
hired.
If
he
wants
the
job.
Fine
do
the
job.
All
sidewalks
were
to
be
a
d
accessible
in
1990,
which
was
30
years
ago
and
they
are
still
not
ada
accessible
and
consequently,
the
money
city
wasted
on
the
scoreboards
as
terry
refers
to
them
that
could
have
been
used
to
install
plus
the
privacy.
S
Glass
could
have
been
used
to
install
the
update
the
roads
and
it
could
have
been
used
to
raise
the
inlets
and
the
streets.
Terry
you've
got
this
city
thinking
what
you
want
them
to
think,
and
you
know
I
I'm
embarrassed
to
say
that
jerry
renders
mayor
of
the
city
of
bloomington.
S
The
drop-off
facility
does
not
have
to
be
manned,
which
is
another
expense,
whether
you
claim
it
does
or
not.
What
about
normal?
That's,
not
man.
Is
it
and
so
there's
another
in
other
ways,
taxpayer
dollars
terry.
If
you
would
really
be
concerned
about
the
expenses
in
the
city,
you
would
wake
up
and
realize
that
people
have
just
about
had
it.
S
Why
are
the
curbs
level
with
the
grass
you
know
and
tim
gleason?
He
can
go
back
to
decatur
where
he
came
from.
T
You
all
hear
me:
yes,
hello,
my
name
and
my
face
are
not
important,
because
it's
not
about
me
because
these
words
are
not
simply
coming
through
me,
but
through
all
who
stand
against
injustice
and
through
the
tears
and
the
pleas
of
the
victims
of
the
injustice
of
ice.
The
struggle
against
genocide
plus
past
and
present
is
one
that
we
cannot
simply
put
aside
is
not
our
problem,
one
that
can
be
solved
by
future
generations
or
federal
legislation.
The
issue
begins
here
locally
by
the
people
in
defense
of
our
most
vulnerable
residents.
T
When
I
say
past
and
present,
I
hope
this
contextualizes
our
issue
in
this
struggle.
What
was
done
to
american
indigenous
people
from
the
beginning
of
the
united
states,
history
to
manifest
destiny,
the
criminalization
of
indigenous
cultures,
languages
and
religions
under
american
law
until
1978
after
way
after
a
decade
after
the
civil
rights
act
and
the
epidemic
of
murders
and
rapes
and
disappearances
of
indigenous
women
and
children
is
a
direct
line
of
historical
events
that
lead
to
now
with
isis
detention
centers,
there
are
concentration
camps
and
that's
why
we
need
to
understand
this.
T
This
is
a
genocide
and
to
not
act
to
not
vote
means.
You
are
complicit
in
this
genocide
that
is
continuing
and
has
continued
for
over
400
years.
The
bigger
issue,
or
this
issue
is
bigger
than
trump.
It
is
in
his
administration,
bigger
than
simple
reforms,
but
we
must
begin
to
help
these
vulnerable
people,
or
else
there's
no
hope,
there's
no
hope
for
a
better
future
for
those
chapters
of
american
policy,
genocide
and
white
supremacy.
T
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Next
alvarez

U
Hi
good
evening,
I'm
charlotte
alvarez,
I'm
the
director
of
the
immigration
project.
We
also
echo
the
other
members
and
citizens
of
the
community
here,
asking
for
meaningful
passage
of
a
welcoming
city
ordinance.
We've
worked
on
this
issue
with
y'all
for
quite
a
while,
and
we
still
haven't
resolved
this
point
and
it
looks
like
it's
not
going
away
until
we
have
a
meaningful
reform
and
a
welcoming
city
ordinance
that
passes
and
protects
all
of
our
city.
U
Citizens
under
any
administration
under
any
national
government
ice
has
been
shown
to
be
duplicitous
and
to
continue
to
hurt
the
communities.
This
saying
that
it
serves.
We
cannot
be
part
of
the
system.
We
cannot
be
sending
people
into
detention,
centers
that
are
rampant
with
the
coronavirus
to
be
sent
back
to
communities,
and
we
cannot
be
part
of
the
separation
of
families.
So
we
asked
the
city
of
bloomington
to
pass
a
welcoming
city
ordinance
that
meaningfully
and
finally
reflects
a
commitment
to
our
immigrant
community
here
in
bloomington.
Thank
you.
A
D
A
A
Okay,
moved
by
council
member
bowling
second
by
council
member
black
with
his
peace
sign,
reminds
me
of
nixon
up
kidding
at
this
point.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
go
ahead
and
call
the
roll
thank
you.
Councilmember
matthew.
H
H
V
E
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
motion
carried.
Thank
you,
madam
clerk.
Next,
we
have
under
item
9a
presentation,
status,
update
and
discussion
on
comprehensive
update
to
bloomington's
sign
ordinance,
as
requested
by
the
economic
and
community
development
department
and
the
legal
department,
and
I'm
going
to
actually
turn
this
over
for
some
brief
comments
and
introductions
to
our
city
manager
and
then
we're
going
to
go
to
mr
hassell
from
hustle
and
levine.
N
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
First,
two
items
on
the
regular
agenda
are
presentations.
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
for
melissa
on
the
community
economic
development
director
to
make
the
inter
introduction
and
any
additional
opening
comments.
Melissa.
V
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
and
city
manager.
Yes,
tonight
we
have
before
you
an
update
to
the
sign
code
ordinance
and,
as
you
are
aware,
the
advertising
sign
code
in
chapter
three
regulates
a
variety
of
signs
with
the
intention
to
protect
the
public
safety,
investment,
property
rights
and
the
local
economy.
V
So
this
updated
draft
of
the
sign
ordinance
addresses
new
technologies
such
as
led
signs,
electronic
message
boards
and
reflects
recent
supreme
court
rulings
and
changes
in
federal
regulations,
and
so
at
this
time
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
katie
simpson,
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
more
about
the
public
outreach
process
moving
forward
after
tonight's
presentation
and
then
after
she's
finished
she'll
go
ahead
and
introduce
our
presenters
for
the
evening.
Thank
you.
W
Thank
you,
melissa.
As
melissa
said,
you
know
tonight
we're
not
asking
for
any
action,
but
we
will.
We
do
intend
to
come
back
with
a
resolution
initiating
a
public
hearing
process
to
to
open
up
that
that
public
discussion
about
the
with
the
planning
commission
about
the
sign,
ordinance
and
then
ultimately
come
back
to
council
for
action.
W
But
but
you
know
this
has
been
in
the
works
for
a
while
this
we
started
this
in
june
of
last
year
we
did
a
kickoff
meeting
and
then
held
a
few
public
outreach
sessions
with
residents,
business
owners
and
sign
contractors.
We
also
did
an
online
survey,
which
john
and
jackie
will
talk
about.
You
know
during
their
presentation.
W
The
survey
was
made
available
in
both
spanish
and
english
and
also
online
and
with
paper,
copies
available
upon
request,
and
then
we've
had
two
working
sessions
with
both
planning
commission
and
the
zoning
board
of
appeals.
So
tonight
is
just
kind
of
a
get
this
back
on.
Council's
radar
and
things
have
been,
there's
been
a
little
bit
of
a
hiatus
with
covid19,
so
we
just
want
to
continue
moving
this
forward,
and
with
that
I
will
hand
this
over
to
john
hauseill
and
jackie
wells
with
halsey
levine
associates.
X
Thanks
katie,
mr
mayor
and
commission,
our
city
council,
thanks
for
having
us
on
the
agenda
this
evening,
I
think
we're
gonna
get
a
presentation
loaded
up
here,
as
katie
said
we're
not
looking
for
action
this
evening.
This
is
something
we've
been
working
on
with
katie,
with
george,
to
ensure
the
correct
legal
perspective
and
other
staff
members
in
the
community
and
public
to
bring
your
sign
ordinance
sort
of
where
it
needs
to
be
from
a
technological
and
legal
perspective.
X
So
what
we're
going
to
go
through
is
sort
of
the
highlights
on
what
it
is
that
we
did
and
why
we're
not
going
to
get
into
a
high
level
of
granularity
because
there's
a
lot
to
cover.
But
we
want
to
give
you
a
sense
of
what
we've
been
working
on
over
the
last
several
months
with
city
staff
and
the
public.
X
So
the
main
purpose
of
updating
the
sign
ordinance
is
to
align
it
with
bringing
on
bloomington
your
comprehensive
plan
to
review
the
existing
code
for
suitability
to
the
downtown's
character,
as
sort
of
the
emphasis
on
downtown
is,
even
more
so
than
it
has
been
in
the
past,
to
adapt
code
to
encourage
signs
that
are
visible
to
pedestrians,
to
bicyclists,
making
sure
that
everything
is
not
geared
toward
only
really
large
signage.
X
Just
for
automobiles
at
higher
rates
of
speed
and
to
adapt
a
sign
code
to
discourage
sign
placement
and
sizes
that
detract
from
the
downtown's
character.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
signs
were
more
appropriate
depending
on
the
commercial
character
of
where
they
happen
to
be
placed
in
the
city.
X
X
Some
aspect
became
non-compliant
because
a
lot
of
sign
ordinances
out
there
had
at
least
some
components
of
regulations
that
were
based
on
the
content
of
the
sign
and
bloomington
was
no
exception.
So
we
had
to
go
through
and
do
a
sort
of
a
content.
Audit
of
your
sign,
ordinance
your
sign
code
and
rewrite
certain
sections
so
that
it
wasn't
regulated
based
on
the
content
of
the
sign,
but
on
the
type
of
sign
or
placement
of
sign.
Things
like
that.
X
So
I
clarified
the
commercial
signage,
non-commercial,
signed
copy
is
protected,
speech,
free
speech
and
the
hell
that
science
cannot
be
treated
differently
because
of
what
they're
communicating
or
the
content
of
the
sign.
So
these
are
the
two
main
reasons
we
really
had
to
take
a
look
at
your
signed
ordinance.
We
had
to
from
a
legal
perspective
and
then
an
alignment
with
your
comprehensive
plan
perspective.
The
next
slide.
X
Slow
transition,
so
we
did
this.
We
did
not
do
this
in
a
vacuum.
We
did
this
working
extensively,
so
we
had
a
plan
commission,
a
project
kickoff
and
a
workshop
with
the
plan
commission
back
in
june
2019.
We
had
four
focus
group
meetings
to
discuss
this.
During
the
month
of
july,
we
had
a
joint
plan,
commission
and
zba
workshop
september
11th.
X
We
had
online
questionnaires,
as
katie
just
said,
both
in
english
and
in
spanish
online,
allowing
people
to
look
at
what
we
were
talking
about
to
select
their
preferences
to
say
what
they
liked
and
what
they
didn't
like,
and
this
included
participation
from
residents
as
well
as
business
owners
and
operators.
So
it
wasn't
just
business
owners
and
it
wasn't
just
residents,
but
it
was
a
mixture
of
the
two
and
then
we
had
a
plan
commission
working
session
in
february
11th
to
go
over
this
as
well.
X
So
we've
tried
to
be
and
have
been
very
transparent,
as
we've
evolved
through
this
process
to
make
sure
we
gauge
input
along
the
way.
Based
on
that
fee
book,
we
feedback,
we
developed
initial
ideas
and
recommendations.
We
then
put
those
recommendations
and
idea
out
there
to
the
public
based
on
feedback.
We
made
another
round
of
revisions
to
recalibrate
it
a
little
bit
more
based
on
what
we
were
hearing
from
the
public.
X
So
some
of
the
major
changes
that
we're
proposing
is
to
revise
some
of
the
sign
areas
to
allow
for
more
proportional,
proportional
signs
based
on
buildings
that
they're
located
on
I'll.
Give
you
an
example
a
little
bit
later,
but,
for
instance,
your
existing
sign
code
allows
in
your
downtown
on
a
building
a
historic
building,
even
if
it's
a
small
building
a
wall
sign
up
to
300
square
feet.
X
Well,
imagine
in
your
council
chambers
right
there
a
sign
that
went
from
floor
to
ceiling
30
feet
long,
that's
a
massive
sign!
That's
a
300
square
foot
sign!
Well
by
the
time
you
put
a
sign
like
that
in
a
historic
building,
downtown
you've
covered
up
windows,
cornices
architectural
features.
It
doesn't
proportionately
fit
the
character
of
the
community,
so
we
wanted
a
really
sort
of
right,
size
or
proportional
size
of
science.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
different
sign
types
and
regulations
were
based
on
different
commercial
areas.
X
The
best
example
of
this
is
regulations
for
signs
on
veterans
parkway,
where
the
traffic
is
a
higher
rate
or
speed,
primarily
vehicular,
larger
properties
set
back
from
the
front
lot
line
signage.
There
cannot
be
the
same
as
signage
in
your
downtown.
It
just
would
not
fit.
It
doesn't
make
sense.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
signage
was
appropriate
depending
on
the
different
environments
of
town
and
your
comprehensive
plan
did
a
very
good
job
of
establishing
the
character
of
the
different
places
of
town.
So
we
had
a
good
footprint.
X
We
wanted
to
improve
the
temporary
sign
regulations.
These
are
signs
that
are
not
permanently
affixed
to
billings
or
intended
to
be
up
all
the
time,
but
look
around
your
environment.
There
are
temporary
signs
all
over
the
city
that
get
used
on
a
regular
basis.
We
have
to
allow
these
but
regulate
them.
X
We
also
wanted
to
take
a
look
at
new
technologies.
There's
a
lot
of
new
technologies
out
there,
primarily
with
changeable
copy
or
video
or
words
or
digital
signs.
That
can
change.
So
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
those
and
then
we
need
to
make
the
ordinance
more
user
friendly
to
both
concise
text
and
better
graphics.
X
So
an
idea
of
some
of
the
things
that
we
went
through
and
also
some
of
the
things
that
we
put
online
in
our
questionnaire.
We
made
some
of
the
questionnaires
components
very
visual,
so
what
you'll
see
there
on
the
left
is
the
type
of
building
you
might
see
on
veterans,
parkway,
big,
huge,
large
standalone
building.
Maybe
you
have
parking
in
front
of
it,
so
we
took
a
look
and
proportionally
did
sign
sizes
on
those
walls
that
you
might
see
on
veterans
parkway.
What
would
a
5
sign?
Look
like
a
10
sign.
X
Initially
we
were
coming
in,
I
think
around
the
five
percent
mark,
but
after
feedback
and
visualizing
it
we
impr
doubled
what
we
initially
came
out
with
five
percent
to
ten
percent,
because
that's
the
one
that's
the
middle
one.
You
see
there
that
people
seem
to
be
most
comfortable
with.
This
is
a
pretty
large
sign
for
the
building
some
communities,
it's
less
than
10,
but
10
worked
on
veterans
parkway.
So
this
is
the
type
of
question
we
had
for
veterans,
parkway
and
the
type
of
signage.
X
X
If
you
look
at
the
images
on
the
right
of
your
screen,
you'll
see
a
typical
downtown
building
a
historic
building
right
at
the
sidewalk.
The
adjacent
buildings
were
right.
Next
to
it,
and
again
we
looked
at
signs
that
were
5
10
or
a
sign
that
was
reflective
of
your
current
standards
and
put
it
out
there
and
said
what
did
you
find
most
appropriate?
X
What
we
had
found
is
and
what
we
kept
our
recommendation
was
the
first
one
you
see
on
the
left
there,
which
is
a
five
percent
max
wall,
sign
coverage.
It
fits
the
architecture,
nothing
covers
up,
it's
scaled
appropriately
for
the
building
as
the
building
gets
bigger.
The
sign
gets
bigger
because
it's
five
percent
of
the
wall
area,
so
there's
not
one
specific
size
of
sign.
It
varies
with
the
size
of
the
building,
so
it
stays
proportional.
X
What
you
see
on
the
far
right
is
how
big
a
sign
can
be
in
your
downtown,
which,
if
signs
were
built
as
of
right
as
big
as
they
could
be
in
downtown,
you
would
start
to
see
a
lot
of
signs
that
would
cover
up
architectural
features
and
just
look
disproportionately
huge
for
a
walking
pedestrian
environment.
So
these
are
the
types
of
visuals
that
we
put
out
there
into
the
community
to
get
feedback
on
on
the
questionnaires
online
and
again
in
some
of
them.
X
X
The
other
thing
that
we
took
a
look
at
was
changeable
copy
signs,
and
this
is
you
know,
case
of
lacroix
399
at
walgreens
or
mcflurry
is
back
at
mcdonald's,
and
the
message
may
change
all
the
time
and
I'm
a
business
owner.
X
I
get
the
need
for
businesses
to
be
able
to
communicate
through
signage
and
when
a
lot
of
these
ordinances
were
written,
that
technology
didn't
exist
and
now
it's
not
only
static
changeable
copy
signs,
but
some
advertising
can
be
literally
tv
screens
where
it's
animated
video
I
mean
of
anything
and
everything
and
imagine
if
you
had
a
300
square
foot
video
monitor
next
to
the
street.
If
it
was
just
running
video.
X
Well,
imagine
if
you
had
a
whole
bunch
of
those
imagine
if
every
store
had
a
300
square
foot
tv
monitor-
and
you
can
imagine
the
worst
case
scenario.
So
we
took
a
look
at
account,
but
we
want
to
accommodate
the
technology.
It
is
crucial
to
businesses
to
be
able
to
communicate
and
advertise,
and
we
fully
understand
that
so
our
initial
take
on
this
and
we've
done
this
in
other
communities-
was
that
you
could
have
changeable
copy
sign.
It
had
to
be
static
imagery,
so
it
wasn't
animated.
X
It
was
a
static
image
that,
after
a
set
period
of
time,
could
rotate
to
another
static
image.
So
the
message
could
change
on
a
regular
basis,
but
it
wasn't
like
a
video
screen
where
there
was
animation.
You
know
movie
tv
type
stuff,
so
our
initial,
I
think
we
initially
started
out
at
about
a
two
minute
static
image.
We
then
went
to
a
30
second
static
image
and
where
we
ended
up
was
a
10
second
standard
gym
static
image.
X
So
we
looked
at
some
of
the
other
communities
that
you'll
see
here,
and
this
is
what
you'll
see
on
the
screen.
So
they
range
anywhere
from
like
four
seconds
down
to
the
small
lens,
there's
a
three
second
one,
all
the
way
up
to
10
or
30
seconds,
and
most
of
these
they
don't
allow
animation.
They
don't
allow
anything
to
be
flashing
or
strobing
or
scrolling.
X
So
our
recommendation
go
to
the
next
screen.
This
is
just
more
of
these
again
we
looked
at
a
ton
of
these
and
where
we
ended
up
again,
we
started
out
with
a
two-minute
static
image
transition.
We
went
from
there
to
30
seconds
and
ended
up
with
our
recommendation
being
10
seconds,
so
an
image
could
flash
up
10
seconds
later,
a
dead
image
could
go
away
and
another
image
could
go
up
so
I'll
go
to
the
next
one.
So
that's
part
of
our
technology,
immigration,
stuff,
our
integration
stuff.
X
X
If
you
have
a
building
that
has
200
feet
of
frontage
versus
a
building
that
has
50
feet
of
frontage,
if
you
have
a
300
feet
of
frontage
and
a
huge
building,
you
will
be
allowed
to
have
a
slightly
we'll
have
a
larger
sign
than
a
50
foot
wide
parcel
with
a
small
little
bitty
building,
so
it's
proportional
with
with
minimums.
So
no
one's
going
to
be
proportioned
out
of
signage.
X
We've
tried
to
accommodate
technology
both
in
reader
boards
changeable
copy,
as
well
as
other
types
of
signage,
and
have
made
sure
that,
for
instance,
a
real
estate
sign
could
be
regulated
in
the
past
by
side
or
a
political
yard
sign.
When
you
talk
about
politics,
that's
content.
When
you
talk
about
a
real
estate,
sign,
that's
content.
We
can't
do
that
anymore.
X
So
a
real
estate
sign
or
a
political
yard
sign
can
be
classified
as
a
yard
sign
a
type
of
sign
and
we
can
regulate
that
type
of
sign.
We
cannot
regulate
it
based
on
the
content,
so
we
can't
have
regulations
for
political
signs.
We
can't
have
regulations
for
high
school
booster
signs.
We
can't
have
regulations
for
real
estate
signs
if
it's
a
yard
sign
it
doesn't
matter.
What's
on
it,
it's
a
yard
sign,
so
we
had
to
change
the
way
those
regulations
were
written.
So
in
many
cases
it
wasn't
about
making
signage
bigger.
X
In
many
cases
it
wasn't
necessarily
about
making
signage
smaller
or
less
restrictive.
We
tried
to
be
realistic.
We
try
to
be
proportional
context,
sensitive
and
accommodating
of
new
technologies.
So
that's
why
we
took
a
look
at
your
sign
code
and
those
are
the
areas
of
signage
that
we
changed.
So
I
guess
with
that.
Mr
mayor,
before
I
go
on
to
r3b,
I
guess
it's
another
agenda
item.
X
I
would
open
it
up
to
any
questions
you
might
have
for
me,
george
katie
or
jackie,
an
associate
with
our
firm
who
is
really
heavily
involved
with
this
along
the
way
as
well
and
she's
on
the
phone
or
the
call
as
well.
A
D
Mayor,
you
have
council,
member
matthew
and
councilmember
bolin
with
their
hands
up.
A
H
Thank
you
appreciate
the
presentation.
Do
we
have
a
proposed
final
draft
of
this
available
online
for
our
business
community
to
start
reading
and
going
through
this?
Is
this
available
somewhere?
Yet
yes,
and
where
is
that,
can
you
explain
yeah?
Thank
you.
W
Jamie
I
can
address
that
this
is
on
the
city's
website.
Under
the
the
planning
and
zoning
page,
we
have
a
link
to
the
new
draft,
as
well
as
all
the
the
meeting
minutes
and
results
of
the
survey.
So
there's
a
separate
I'll
email,
the
link
to
city
manager
gleason
to
share
with
you.
H
Thank
you
appreciate
that
I've
also
gotten
a
significant
amount
of
reach
out
from
the
business
community
as
well
and
before
we
can
vote
on
this,
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
a
presentation
in
coordination
with
the
chamber
of
commerce
to
get
this
final
draft
out
there.
H
There
are
a
lot
of
questions
I've
been
receiving
from
businesses
that
want
to
know
how
this
is
going
to
affect
them
from
property
owners
who
want
to
know
how
this
is
going
to
affect
them,
and
I
can't
think
of
a
better
way
to
reach
a
vast
majority
of
them
at
one
time
than
to
coordinate
a
meeting
with
the
the
the
the
chamber
of
commerce.
And
so
then
we
can
then
get
feedback
from
residents
about
that
after
they
hear
the
meeting
and
they
get
a
chance
to
ask
their
questions.
H
X
X
I
don't
know
if
that
was
done
through
the
chamber
or
directly
to
the
business
community,
but
we
did
hear
from
them
pretty
robustly
early
on
in
the
process
to
get
their
opinion
at
the
beginning.
Before
we
even
started.
H
Okay,
that's
awesome.
I
I
just
I
heard
from
a
lot
of
businesses
that
did
not
get
the
invitation
to
that
meeting
and
they
want
to
have
a
chance
to
waste
their
opinion.
Once
and
I
said
well,
let's,
let's
see
a
final
draft
before
you
get
upset
about
anything,
let's
look
and
see
what's
in
it,
and
then
we
can
have
that
conversation
about
what
they're
what's
there
and
how
it's
going
to
work
going
forward.
A
Thank
you
very
much
and,
as
I
understood
madam
cook,
you
said,
councilman
bolin
was
interested.
B
Okay,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
appreciate
all
the
aspects
that
you
took
into
account,
but
I
just
want
to
echo
what
aldwin
matthey
said,
because
I've
gotten
some
pushback
and
feedback
from
the
business
community
also-
and
I
just
would
like
to
have
them-
have
a
second
chance
to
have
some
input.
So
thank
you.
Yep.
E
I
would
also
like
to
thank
you
for
the
presentation
echo,
the
comments
of
older
persons,
matthew
and
bolin.
I
I
do
have.
I
have
heard
similar
concerns
from
business
owners
and
I
guess
I
do
have
some
some
concerns.
I
know
I
think,
there's
a
grand
father
clause
or
something
in
there
for
current
sign
owners,
but
I
I
don't
want
this
to
somehow
cause
a
lot
of
business
owners
to
have
increased
costs
because
they
have
to
take
down
their
sign
and
put
something
you
know
put
something
else
up.
E
I
know
that
we
needed
to
address
the
supreme
court
decision
and
technology,
but
it
seems
like
the
proposal
goes,
goes
beyond
that
and-
and
I
agree,
we
should
have
the
chamber
of
commerce
involved
in
that
and
then
you
know
the
67
survey
results.
I
I
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
good
reflection
of
the
community
part
of
those
were
from
residents,
I
think
only
about
39
were
from
businesses,
and
I
don't
know
if
we
specifically
targeted
minority
business
owners
to
get
their
thoughts
on
these.
K
Thank
you.
I
was
just
wondering
about
similar
issues.
I
do
appreciate
the
attention
to
being
proportional
and
uniform
and
we
certainly
did
have
to
update
given
scotus's
ruling.
I
wondered
if,
if
the
response
rates
that
we
received
were
typical-
and
I
would
also
urge
urge
this
group
to
look
look
very
seriously
at
a
phased
in
approach,
no
matter
what
we
we
end
up,
deciding
to
do
with
with
the
signs.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
anyone
else
or
lee.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
don't
really
need
it
in
a
specific
action
on
this
item,
but
we're
going
to
move
to
the
next
item
and
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
our
city
manager
and
and
for
some
initial
comments
before
we
move
to
people
from
house
of
levine
and
that's
consideration
and
action.
A
N
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
I
think
we're
going
to
go
straight
to
mr
levine,
unless
melissa
and
or
katie
have
opening
comments.
X
Okay,
so
I'm
gonna
I'll
jump
into
this
one
again.
So
this
is
one
that
really
was
done
in
response
to
residents
and
neighborhoods
coming
out
toward
the
end
of
the
creation
of
the
zoning
ordinance
that
we
worked
on
with
the
city
last
year,
and
this
is
we're
looking
specifically
at
the
r3b
district
analysis.
X
The
direction
because
of
resident
concern
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
with
the
zoning
ordinance
was
that
the
city
take
a
look
at
this
area.
Come
back
after
the
zoning
ordinance
had
been
adopted
to
specifically
look
at
this
area
separately
and
that's
exactly
what
the
city
did.
So
the
city
adopted
it
with
the
direction
to
go
back
and
look
at
this
area.
X
So
we
did
a
couple
of
things
one
so
we're
looking
at
this,
because
during
the
zoning
ordinance
update,
which
is
about
a
year
ago
or
so
two
years
ago,
a
lot
of
residents
expressed
concern
about
the
comprehensive
plan
which
was
done
not
by
us.
X
But
previously
the
recommendations
regarding
the
neighborhood
surrounding
the
downtown
and
the
comprehensive
plan
really
sort
of
entailed
this
as
a
high
density,
zoned
area
and
the
zoning
did
as
well
designated
a
lot
of
the
areas
and
the
emphasis
of
this
area
to
be
pretty
high
density,
residential
redevelopment
and
a
lot
of
residents
didn't
like
the
comprehensive
plan
designation
or
the
zoning
designation.
X
So
the
plan
commission
recommended
and
city
council
approved
the
zoning
ordinance
under
the
condition
that
we
go
back
for
further
study
to
look
at
the
appropriate
policy
for
these
neighborhoods
from
a
planning
perspective
and
then
once
the
policy
was
examined,
then
what
resulting
zoning
should
put
in
place
to
deliver
that
policy?
So
it
was
really
going
back
and
looking
at
the
planning
component
from
a
while
ago
and
carving
out
and
looking
a
hard
line
at
zoning
for
the
area.
So
the
city
council
adopted
the
resolution
initiating
the
study
back
in
april
2019..
X
So
we
did
this
in
direction
of
city
council,
which
did
it
in
response
to
residents
concerns
so
go
to
the
next
one.
So
the
r3b
zoning
district
analysis.
The
existing
policy
for
this
area
is
there's
a
preservation
area
which
is
balancing
preservation
with
market
demands
for
demolition
and
or
conversion,
and
the
regeneration
area
was
a
comprehensive
and
collaborative
approach
to
revitalization
and
we're
talking
about
also
a
policy
existing
in
the
west
bloomington
neighborhood
plan
and
the
dimmitts
grove
neighborhood
plan.
X
So
these
are
the
two
areas
that
you'll
see
here.
Their
regeneration
area
is
in
pink
and
it
is
on
the
western
area
of
downtown
and
the
area
preservation
area
that
is
on
the
right
side
or
the
east
side
of
downtown
is
that
yellowish
orange
area
that
you
see
with
the
purple
asterisk
being
downtown.
This
is
generally
the
area
we're
talking
about.
Only
some
of
this
was
r3b,
but
these
are
the
two
areas
we're
talking.
X
About
so
the
r3b
zoning
district,
as
it
read
as
it
reads
now,
which
caused
some
of
the
concern
was
the
intent
of
the
r3b
resident
district
is
to
allow
for
the
areas
of
highly
concentrated,
multi-family
residential
development.
X
This
district
provides
for
more
intense
land
usage
in
areas
where
lower
density
and
development
is
deemed
neither
appropriate
nor
economical,
and
then
it
goes
on
further
to
say
that
it
allows
densities
of
up
to
7
0
dwelling
units
per
acre,
so
the
area
in
terms
of
zoning
was
really
targeted
for
high
intensity,
concentrated
multi-family
infill
redevelopment,
and
that
was
the
existing
zoning
ordinance
for
this
area.
Go
to
the
next.
X
Y
Being
supposed
to
clarify,
the
first
statement
was
what
the
code,
the
purpose
for
the
district
before
we
had
to
write
revised
originally
and
that's.
X
Y
X
Right
so
so,
while
supportive
of
the
overall
historic
character
of
the
neighborhood,
so
we
really
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
changed
r3b
district
really
got
at
what
is
on
the
ground.
Now
a
mixed
residential
neighborhoods,
a
lot
of
single-family
homes,
a
lot
of
duplexes,
a
lot
of
historic
character,
the
old
intent
for
the
district
had
none
of
that.
The
district
allows
for
a
maximum
of
70
dollar
units
per
acre
that
may
be
applied
in
areas
best
suited
for
such
intense
development.
X
X
So
this
is
the
what
you
see
in
red
here
is
the
r3b
district
study
area.
So
these
are
all
the
parcels
that
are
zoned,
r3b,
multi-family
residence
district
in
the
city's
zoning
map.
Right
now,
these
are
the
properties
that
we
took.
A
look
at
this
is
the
r3b
district
that
we
were
charged
with
examining,
but
you
can
see
how
they
surround
the
downtown
not
completely,
but
in
in
pockets
both
to
the
east
and
to
the
west,
with
a
couple
of
more
isolated
areas,
a
little
bit
to
the
north
of
the
core
downtown
area.
X
So
again,
we
held
workshops
in
both
the
different
neighborhoods
one
for
the
regeneration
area
workshop
one
for
the
preservation
area
workshop.
I
think
maybe
the
biggest
differentiation
between
these
two
areas
is
the
preservation
area
workshop
represents
the
neighborhood
on
the
east
side
of
the
downtown.
X
More
historic,
I
guess
slightly-
doesn't
suffer
as
much
from
some
deferred
maintenance,
a
little
bit
more
robust
awareness
and
maintenance
of
the
history
of
the
development
of
those
areas
over
time,
whereas
the
regeneration
area
workshop
for
the
west
side
of
the
downtown
neighborhood
had
seen
historically,
more
conversions
of
single-family
homes
into
duplexes
or
multi-family,
through
sort
of
chopping
up
the
houses
internally
to
accommodate
multi-family
purposes
in
historically
single-family
structure,
so
a
little
bit
more
internal
utilization
of
housing
stock,
not
the
way
it
was
developed
intended
to
be
used,
but
we
met
with
the
neighbors
in
both
of
those
neighborhoods.
X
The
policy
direction
that
we
heard
and
that
we
think
was
most
important,
was
to
create
a
zoning
district
that
promotes
the
following
preservation
and
viability
of
the
existing
housing
stock.
The
people
that
live
here
love
living
here.
They
love
the
small
homes.
They
love
the
mix
of
big
homes
and
small
homes.
They
love
the
fact
that
there's
some
single-family
attached
and
duplexes
mixed
in
with
single-family
they
like
that
eclectic
mix
of
residential
product
type.
They
didn't
view
that
as
a
open
table
for
people
to
come
in
and
just
do
broad-scale
intense
multi-family
development.
X
So
the
policy
was
to
preserve
the
viability
of
existing
housing
stock,
the
preservation
of
existing,
affordable
and
missing
middle
options,
while
limiting
illegal
conversions
or
conversions
that
are
too
dense
the
preservation
of
the
neighborhood's
overall
character
and
feel
as
a
mixed
residential
neighborhood
and
to
accommodate
appropriate
in-field
development
where
it
was
appropriate
and
in
some
cases
needed
as
opposed
to
inappropriate
development
available
everywhere.
So
a
much
more
responsive
approach.
X
So,
if
you
take
a
look,
we
took
those
r3b
and
we
broke
them
down
into
these
district
recommendations,
an
rd
downtown
residence
district.
That's
the
brighter
pink
colors
that
you
see
on
both
sides:
r2
mixed
residential
district
up
on
the
north
to
the
east
of
the
downtown
and
the
d2
downtown
transition
district,
that
larger
parcel
up
there
on
west
mulberry
street
at
the
sort
of
the
northern
just
western
tip
of
the
downtown.
X
So
the
existing
r3b
district
promotes
high,
concentrated
multi-family
deems
lower
density
development
as
neither
appropriate
nor
economical.
That's
what
it
says
now,
which
was
sort
of
not
appropriate,
and
residents
didn't
like
it
so
again
deemed
it
is
lower
density
development
is
neither
appropriate
nor
economical,
encourages
multi-family
dwellings
in
mid-rise
structures
for
those
persons
desiring
to
live
in
such
an
environment
and
allows
residential
densities
up
to
7-0
dwelling
units
per
acre.
X
So
that
was
the
existing.
Our
recommendations
for
the
rt
neighborhood
district
is
to
preserve
I'm
going
to
elite,
delete
that
okay
preserve
a
mixture
of
housing
types
and
scales,
including
large
and
small
lot
single
family
detached
as
well
as
homes
as
a
low
density.
Multi-Family
prioritize,
extending
economic
life
of
existing
structures
through
the
conversion
to
multi-family
or
office
uses
in
certain
areas
and
under
certain
conditions,
encourage
new
development
and
redevelopment
in
the
district
shall
be
supportive
of
the
overall
historic
character.
X
So
it
can't
just
come
in
and
wipe
things
out,
but
has
to
do
to
a
more
sensitive
manner
and
allows
densities
of
up
to
43
dwelling
units
per
acre
with
a
minimum
lot
area
of
1
000..
So
before
it
was
70
units
per
acre
with
a
minimum
lot
area
of
only
622
feet,
so
you
can
see
here
it
wasn't
all
high
density,
high
concentration,
devaluing
historic
structures
and
devaluing
low
density.
We
changed
it
to
a
much
more
responsive,
historically
sensitive
mixed
residential
approach,
lowering
the
intense
development
potential
of
multi-family
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
X
So
the
r3b
recommendations
were
minimum
lot:
frontage
of
60
feet,
minimum
mod
area,
5500
lot,
coverage
of
80,
front
yard,
setbacks
of
20,
max
building
height
and
six
stories.
Minimum
parkings
were
two
spaces
per
unit
design
guidelines.
There
were
none
multi-family
and
office.
Conversions
were
pigmented
by
right
with
no
oversight.
That's
what
it
is
right
now.
So
you
can
see
here
you
could
cover
80
of
your
lot
with
a
building.
X
Buildings
could
go
six
stories
high,
but
there's
nothing
over
there.
That's
six
stories
high,
it's
pretty
out
of
context,
and
if
you
wanted
to
put
in
multi-family
or
or
convert
something
to
office,
there
were
no
regard
regulations
or
guidelines
to
ensure
that
those
conversions
were
being
done
sensitive
to
the
existing
character,
the
neighborhood.
So
what
we
did
was
and
the
minimum
lot
frontage
of
60
feet
a
lot
of
the
properties.
X
X
What
we
recommended
was
43
dwelling
units
per
acre
max
relative
compared
to
the
70,
so
not
half,
but
considerably
less.
The
minimum
lot
frontage
was
determined
by
the
average
for
that
block
because
it
varied
block
by
block
by
block,
and
we
didn't
want
to
make
anything
not
fit
the
character.
The
minimum
lot
area
per
block
was
done
on
a
block
average.
X
X
X
Previously
there
had
to
be
two
spaces
per
unit
and
that
just
didn't
work
for
some
of
how
the
adaptive
reuse
was
taking
place.
We
created
design
guidelines
for
architectural
guidelines
required
material
for
new
construction,
so
there
are
some
guidelines
for
new
investment
that
would
not
allow
for
the
erosion
of
the
character
of
the
neighborhood
and
multi-family
and
office.
Conversions
were
fermented
as
a
conditional
use,
so
an
applicant
could
not
do
conversion
of
single
family
as
of
right.
X
X
X
Breaker
and
four.
Only
four
stories
in
height
you've
got
some
three-story
structures
out
there
now,
so
it
is
now
a
what
we're
recommending
is
a
mixed
residential
development
that
will
encourage
and
accommodate
investment,
but
safeguard
the
character
and
the
maintaining
of
the
existing
residential
neighborhoods.
You
see
there
today,
and
that
was
what
was
most
important.
So
that's
the
balance
we
struck
that
we
think
achieves
both
of
those
objectives.
A
Thank
you
very
much
questions
or
comments
by
members
of
the
council.
We're
going
to
start
our
time
for
council
questions
at
this
point.
A
Okay,
in
that
order,
council,
member
matthew
and
keller
painter,
I'm
I'm
kind
of
scoping
the
the
the
video
of
you.
So
thank
you,
madam
clerk.
H
So,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
I
really
appreciate
it,
especially
since
my
house
is
one
of
the
properties
identified
in
this
presentation.
I
think
that
you
really
in
terms
of
the
scope
of
what
we
were
trying
to
do.
You
really
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
and
trying
to
preserve
the
feel
of
the
character.
H
Lower
density
was
not
encouraged
in
this
area,
and
I
think
that,
from
my
perspective
and
from
talking
to
residents
of
the
dimmitts
grove
area,
which
is,
of
course,
the
east
side,
I
think
that
you've
actually
achieved
almost
all
of
the
goals
that
we
had.
You
know
we
had
some
scenarios
where
we
did
have
properties
that
were
torn
down
and
some
well
fairly
ugly,
multi-family
high-density
properties
put
in,
especially
in
the
south
part
of
dimmits
grove
that
people
were
really
unhappy
about.
So
I
really
think
that
you
have
achieved
what
we
wanted.
H
However,
people
were
caught
off
guard
by
the
fact
that
this
was
a
presentation
and
then
an
adoption
tonight,
and
so
I'm
gonna
actually
make
a
motion
to
table
the
adoption
of
this
until
our
second
meeting
of
october
to
give
residents
in
the
area
some
time
to
give
feedback
on
this
because,
like
I
said,
a
lot
of
people
were
just
caught
off
guard
that
this
was
coming
back
as
here's
our
final
recommendation
and
oh
by
the
way,
we're
actually
going
to
adopt
this
or
vote
on
this
tonight.
They
just
want
time
to
read
it
study.
H
It
maybe
ask
some
more
questions
along
the
way,
but
I
I
think
that
you
guys
did
a
great
job
here.
Overall,
thank.
A
You
so
much
okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
by
councilmember
matthew.
Is
there
a
second
to
council
member
matthew's
motion
can
wait.
I
saw
several.
I
I
saw
a
council
member
emic.
I
see
okay
at
this
point.
Is
there
a
discussion
on
the
motion
by
council
member
matthew
to
postpone
this
until
our
or
our
october
meeting.
A
Okay,
I'm
sorry
I'm
sorry
johnny.
I
was
looking
around
and
I
did
not
see
your
hand
up,
but
thank
you,
madam
clerk.
For
letting
me
know.
Councilmember
painter
go
ahead.
Well,.
G
Thank
you,
and
I
would
like
to
echo
what
jamie
said.
I
just
wanted
to
second
what
he
was
saying,
because
I
have
heard
from
members
of
the
demons
grove
neighborhood
in
particular
that
have
more
questions,
and
they
just
want
to
have
a
few
things
answered,
and
I
think
it's
totally
in
order
to
table
this
to
a
time
certain,
so
they
can
have
their
concerns
addressed.
Thank.
A
You
thank
you
councilmember
painter,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
a
time
certain
any
other
discussions.
I
any
discussion.
Excuse
me.
Oh
mr
gleason,
you
wanted
to
say
something.
N
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
everybody
was
clear.
N
Occurring
tonight,
the
resolution
tonight
is
to
initiate
the
public
hearing
process
we're
going
to
go
back
to
the
planning
commission
and
go
back
counsel
for
final
adoption.
There
is
outreach,
what's
scheduled
for
the
planning
commission
meeting,
I
believe,
is
october
28th.
A
Okay,
but
just
to
clarify
then
councilman
matthew
did
you
mean
for
your
motion
then,
to
postpone
the
entire
entirety
of
this
until
october.
H
No,
I
apologize,
then,
if
I
I
read
it
as
we
were
actually
adopting
this
tonight
and
if
that's
not
what
we're
doing,
if
we're
sending
this
for
public
hearing
and
more
feedback
at
planning
commission,
then
I
apologize.
I
read
that
incorrectly
yeah.
X
A
Okay,
I
think
it
was
council
member
emic,
because
I
think
both
of
you
did
try
to
second
it.
But
at
this
point
then,
I'm
going
to
turn
to
council
member
matthew.
Since
you
made
the
initial
motion.
Would
you
like
to
make
a
motion
then
for
us
to
to
proceed
with
this
as
presented,
which
would
begin
the
process
of
public
interaction,
yeah.
A
H
E
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
motion
carries
we
appreciate
that
and
thank
you
to
our
staff,
city
manager
and
house
of
levine
for
all
the
work
you
put
into
this.
We
very
much
appreciate
that
and
we
look
forward
to
continued
public
input
and
final
resolution
of
this.
At
this
point,
we're
going
to
move
on
to
consideration
and
action
on
the
local
coronavirus,
urgent
remediation
cure
support
program
and
that's
a
certification
on
an
ordinance
pertaining
to
the
local
cure
program,
as
requested
by
the
finance
department.
A
N
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
My
quick
comments
are
this:
this
is
before
council
tonight
as
an
ordinance
to
be
adopted
at
the
recommendation
of
the
illinois
municipal
league
and
what
this
is.
The
cure
application
is
to
be
reimbursed
for
so
some
of
the
coveted
related
impacts,
we're
allocated
up
to
3.1
million
dollars
and
the
final
certification
for
the
period
of
march
1st
to
december
31st,
we'll
come
back
to
council
for
that
final
approval.
N
Before
it's
submitted,
also
of
note,
we
actually
started
tracking
and
created
a
line
item
for
coveted
related
expenses
before
the
state
was
shut
down
so
that
week,
prior
to
I
believe,
march
17th.
This
is
something
that
we
set
in
motion
as
city
staff.
D
Thank
you,
city
manager,
gleason,
an
email
went
out
earlier
today
and
it
was
the
attachment
in
the
packet,
the
city
of
bloomington
local,
cure
certification.
It
was
included
in
the
packet
incomplete.
There
are,
let's
see,
on
page
seven
of
that
certificate.
There's
three
questions
that
were
answered.
The
answer
to
question
one
was
yes
and
the
answer
to
questions
two
and
three
were
no.
Those
were
forwarded
to
council
earlier
today
and
that
certificate
is
referenced
in
the
ordinance,
so
just
wanted
to
draw
that
to
your
attention.
D
A
Okay
at
this
point,
then,
is
there:
if
could
I
have
a
motion
in
a
second
and
then
we
can,
you
know,
start
our
three-minute
discussion
or
so
on
the
proposed
certification
ordinance
that
it
be
approved.
Is
there
a
motion
to
that
effect.
A
It's
all
moved,
oh
sue,
moved
by
council
member
black.
Is
there
a
second
second
second
council
member
matthew,
I'm
not
sure
who
else
that
was,
but
I
I
recognize
his
voice
discussion
on
this
item.
Any
comments.
H
G
V
E
A
Thank
you
so
much
motion
carried.
Thank
you,
madam
clerk.
We're
going
to
move
to
item
9d
consideration
and
action
on
an
ordinance
amending
chapter
7
of
the
bloomington
city
code
to
implement
updated
video
gaming
licensure
requirements
within
the
city,
as
requested
by
the
clerk's
department.
Now
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
our
city
manager,
and
then
I
guess
madame
clerk,
a
brief
presentation,
five
minutes
and
a
five
minute
council
discussion,
or
so
mr
gleason,
we'll
start
with
you.
D
All
right,
he
told
me
just
to
go
right
ahead,
so
we'll
jump
we'll
jump
right
in
so
basically
the
ordinance
change
that
or
city
code
change
that
we're
proposing,
there's
three
different
changes.
There's
the
video
gaming
license
currently
there's
a
60-day
cessation
period.
So
a
business
for
a
variety
of
reasons
can
seize
operations.
D
Their
video
gaming
license
is
put
on
hold.
They
have
to
receive
an
approval
from
the
city
prior
to
that
cessation
and
then
the
time
clock
starts
running.
We
do
a
similar
thing
with
liquor
license.
However,
the
cessation
timeline
is
180
days
and,
as
you
all
know,
the
liquor
license
for
most
all
video
gaming
is
a
requirement
for
having
a
video
gaming
license.
So
it's
our
recommendation
that
we
align
the
two
the
video
gaming
license
and
amend
the
60
days
to
allow
180
days
cessation.
D
One
of
the
things
I
would
like
to
point
out
is
that
the
liquor
license
also
allows
for
an
additional
request
of
an
of
another
180
day
period.
We
are
not
recommending
that
we
do
that,
but
we
are
asking
that
we
amend
the
code
which
would
allow
for
a
180
80
day
cessation
period
for
video
gaming,
aligning
it
with
the
liquor
license
code.
The
second
change
is
the
application
process,
and
it's
one
of
the
things
that
are
kind
of
a
either
you
take
advantage.
D
I
guess
of
the
momentum
that
comes
out
of
covid
and
there
are
some
little
bonuses,
one
of
which
is
being
able
to
do
a
lot
of
business
electronically
and
we've
been
trying
to
widespread
that
across
all
of
our
applications,
and
one
of
them
is
video
gaming.
So,
in
our
code
right
now
we
require
that
a
paper
floor
plan
be
attached
to
any
applications
that
are
received.
D
They
also
have
to
submit
it
already
in
electronic
format,
but
it
requires
that
a
paper,
a
fuller
plan,
be
submitted
at
a
minimum
of
an
11
by
17
size.
So
what
we're
asking
here
is
to
amend
the
code
so
that
the
paper
floor
plan
is
no
longer
required,
but
that
it
would
be
made
available
upon
request
by
the
city
and
again
that
electronic
version
still
comes
and
is
computer
generated
drawn
to
scale
et
cetera.
So
just
trying
to
streamline
our
processes
and
then
the
last
one.
D
So
council
had
approved
a
lower
video
gaming
terminal
fee
for
fraternal
organizations
and
veteran
organizations,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
didn't
think
exactly
through
at
that
time
was
what
requirements
that
we
would
require
of
the
organizations
coming
forward,
basically
just
documentation
to
verify
that
they
qualify
for
that
reduced
rate.
We
also
had
some
other
things
with
truck
stops
with
the
amount
of
fuel
that
they
have
to
sell
and
the
size
that
they
have
to
be
to
maintain
their
status.
D
So
all
we're
doing
here
is
just
asking
that
we
make
amend
the
code
to
require
particular
documentation
so
that
we
can
validate
that
as
businesses
come
forward,
underneath
these
different
types
of
license
that
we
can
get
the
information
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they're
well
suited.
And
if
you
have
any
questions
great.
A
D
No,
I
don't
again
so
the
second
change,
with
the
not
requiring
paper
just
streamlining
the
process.
So
I
think
that's
a
great
one
and
we
still
can
make
that
request
to
have
a
paper
copy
if
needed
is
really
something
that
when
we
handle
retention
of
documents
and
whatnot
in
my
department,
the
eliminating
paper
just
helps
streamline
everything
across
the
board.
So
that's
a
good
one
and
then
the
verification
of
documents
definitely
needing
that
and
to
me
aligning
video
gaming
with
liquor.
A
D
We
do
have
sorry
to
interrupt
mayor
council,
member
painter
with
her
handout.
A
G
Yes,
that's
why
I
had
my
hand
up.
I
thank
you
leslie
for
for
your
work
on
this.
I
think
all
of
these
changes
make
sense
and
I'm
glad
that
it
will
streamline
things
and
make
things
easier
for
you
as
well
so
good
work.
Thank
you,
and
I
would
like
to
move
to
approve
this
as
presented.
A
H
E
A
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
clerk,
and
thank
you
everyone.
I
will
move
on
to
item
9e
consideration
and
action
on
an
ordinance
amending
chapter
2
of
the
blinking
city
code,
to
create
a
public
arts
commission,
as
requested
by
the
administration
department,
and
we
have
a
very
brief
presentation
and
a
very
brief
council
discussion,
and
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
mr
gleason
tim.
N
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
Last
week
we
heard
a
presentation
from
deputy
city
manager,
tyus
there's
a
culmination
of
a
year
and
a
half's
worth
of
work
for
him.
I
stepped
into
this
position
a
little
bit
more
than
two
years
ago,
and
this
is
something
that
was
a
priority
for
many
in
the
community
and
I
will
say
specifically
in
the
downtown
area.
N
Alderman
matthew
was
someone
that
I
heard
from
as
well
as
other
council
members,
a
former
older
woman,
howman
eaton's
and
the
tiltons,
and
we
think
that
we're
ready
to
bring
this
cross
finish
line
the
presentation
last
week.
There's
no
deviation
to
the
presentation
last
week.
This
would
be
a
seven
member
board,
that's
advisory
and
there
are
three
members
from
the
public
and
this
would
be
for
two-year
appointments.
N
N
Something
else
that
we
talked
about
was
the
funding
component.
I
think
that
there
is
a
priority
to
allocate
money
every
year.
You
know
one
through
private
donations,
but
also
a
cindy
city
funding
component.
There
is
some
unclear.
N
It
is
unclear
the
full
impacts
that
covet
might
have
on
us
so
rather
than
capture
a
specific
area
in
what's
before
you
tonight,
we
just
acknowledge
the
fact
that
this
will
be
a
part
of
the
budget
process
every
single
year
and
the
desire
is
to
actually
fund
and
allocate
allocate
money
towards
this
public
art
program
for
the
city,
I'll.
Take
any
additional
questions
or
comments.
Deputy
city
manager,
tyus,
is
on
the
line
as
well
and
stand
ready
to
respond.
A
C
F
I'll
make
a
motion
yeah
if
you'd
like
council
member
black
goes
well.
My
motion
will
be
that
we
we
table
this
validate
uncertain
depending
the
conversation
that
we're
about
to
have.
F
My
motion
is
that
we
table
this
item
to
a
date
uncertain
based
and
then
for
items
to
be
brought
back.
Based
on
this
conversation,.
A
I
see
okay,
is
there
a
second
to
council
member
black's
motion?
Second,
second
by
council
member
bowl
and
I
see
her
hand
in
the
air
any
discussion
on
the
motion
to
table
this
to
a
time
uncertain
customer
block.
Could
you
clarify
just
for
the
record
briefly
why.
F
Yeah
yeah,
so
it's
always
interesting
to
me
how
we
can
spend
millions
of
dollars
on
water
infrastructure
and
nobody
said
anything,
but
when
we
talk
about
an
arts
commission
that
the
public
feedback
is
robust,
which
is
good,
and
so,
since
last
week's
conversation
I
think
there's
been
a
lot
of
interest
in
this
topic.
Some
things
I'd
be
interested
in
seeing
some
verbage
about
just
about
kind
of
the
membership
is.
F
Is
there
a
way
that
we
could
do
something
like
temporary
ex-officio
members
to
ensure
that
people
who
are
people
in
the
neighborhood
can
weigh
in
as
part
of
the
process
on
this
this
type
of
public
art?
I
know
that
when
we
did
the
the
west
market
street
mural,
there
was
a
lot
of
concern
from
from
some
people.
You
know:
what's
gonna
go
on
this
wall,
I
gotta
drive
past
it
every
day
and,
and
you
know
that
person
may
not
be
represented
chosen
for
the
commission,
so
that
might
be
a
solution.
F
You
know
I've
heard
other
pieces
of.
Like
you
know,
maybe
we
do
like
a
public
hearing.
You
know
before
anything
comes
before
council
that
they
have
to
conduct
a
public
hearing
very
similar
to
what
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
would
do.
You
know
same
public
notification
process,
and
I
know
this
is
a
year
and
a
half
of
work
here
in
billion
and
tim's
done
just
a
phenomenal
job
very
important
conversation,
so
I
figure
you
know
a
little
bit
more
time
to
get
this
ironed
out
would
be
good
for
the
community.
A
Thank
you
very
much
any
further
comments
on
the
motion
before
I
ask
for
a
vote.
H
Yeah,
why
a
date
uncertain
can't
we
put
a
number
on
the
calendar
because
I
would
like
to.
I
would
just
like
to
see
this
keep
moving
forward.
I
I
don't,
like
dates,
uncertain
and
have
something
just
fall
into
a
nebulous
gray
area.
Again
I
mean,
can
we
can
we
pick
a
you
know
a
date
six
weeks
out
or
something
or
something
of
that
nature,
but
as
just
anything
other
than.
A
That's
totally
out
of
order
right
now,
but
we
appreciate
it.
So
is
the
second
of
the
motion,
okay,
with
the
amendment
to
say
from
date,
uncertain
to
date,
certain
october
26th.
B
D
Mayor,
you
do
have
council
member
korea
with
her
hand
up.
J
Yeah,
I
just
wanna
second,
what
scott
mentioned.
Those
are
two
things
that
I'd
like
to
see
be
brought
back
as
part
of
this
ordinance,
and
perhaps
we
just
get
a
couple
of
options
to
look
at,
but
certainly
I
think
both
the
ex-officio
members,
as
well
as
a
public
hearing,
can
help
address
some
of
those.
Some
of
the
issues
that
I
raised
last
time
around.
A
B
Yeah,
I
actually
I
I
think
I
might
have
started
part
of
this
conversation,
because
I
would
like
to
see
a
separate,
robust
discussion
about
the
funding
and
make
it
very
clear
the
process
of
that
we
would
go
through
for
the
funding,
I'm
not
against
the
this
particular
ordinance,
but
it
specifically
says
for
the
creation
of
a
public
arts
commission.
B
A
A
B
D
Mayor
just
so
you're
aware
you
have
council,
member
painter
with
her
hand
up
and
city
manager.
Gleason
would
also
like
to
just.
A
G
I
agree
I
would
like
to
see
this
table.
I
think
some
details
still
need
to
be
hammered
out.
G
You
know,
for
example,
I
think
that
it's
great
that
people
from
the
neighborhoods
get
to
weigh
in,
but
I
think
rather
than
having
two
or
three
people
from
whatever
neighborhood
is
affected,
they
need
to
have
a
public
hearing,
so
it's
very
transparent
and
everyone
that
wants
to
come
can
can
come
and
weigh
in
on
on
that
sort
of
thing,
and
I
also
think
that
the
the
funding
at
this
point
in
time
needs
to
be
discussed
more
in
detail,
because
I
know
that
some
people
are
quite
upset
during
this
time
of
colvid
that
we're
even
discussing
this,
and
I
think
that
it
needs
to
be
handled
quite
delicately,
and
you
know
I'm
all
for
public
arts
and-
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
great
idea,
but
I
think
that
there
are
a
lot
of
details
that
still
need
to
be
discussed.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
painter,
and
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
mr
gleeson.
Mr
gleason
wanted
to
make
a
comment,
but
before
I
do
just
to
make
it
clear
regardless
of
covid,
this
this
is
is
always
for
for
the
record
and
for
public
consumption,
there's
always
a
separate
process
for
public
funding
through
the
regular
budgetary
process,
something
like
we
might
pursue,
and
I
would
also
say,
because
I've
received
some
of
the
the
the
points
that
councilman
painter
and
some
others
have
suggested
that
we
shouldn't
even
be
considering
this.
A
We
don't
want
to
hunker
down
into
a
corner
in
a
fetal
position.
Just
because
covet
is
happening.
That
doesn't
mean
we're
allocating
any
money,
but
we
need
to
move
forward
with
things
like
this,
so
we
can
begin
to
think
about
that
because
again,
we
probably
all
receive
similar
kinds
of
feedback.
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
mr
gleason,
mr
gleason.
You
had
some
comments.
N
I
do,
I
think
one
I'm
going
to
ask
for
clarity
of
what
is
being
asked
of
the
staff.
Alderman
black's
comments
about
a
public
hearing,
and
I
think
that
was
supported
by
alderwoman
carrillo,
that's
something
that
could
be
added
to
the
document
tonight
or
amendment.
If
that's
what
you
so
choose
the
conversation
or
the
the
wording
on
the
funding
it
was
to
give
some
latitude.
N
N
A
F
I
I'm
looking
as
opposed
to
trying
to
throw
an
amendment
on
the
floor
that
isn't
worded
in
the
correct
way
was
more
about
making
sure
that
we
can
take
this
conversation
as
you're,
starting
to
see
some
some
folks
that
want
to
see
a
public
hearing
at
least
start
there
get
the
wording
right
so
that
the
ordinance
is
is
presented
clean,
so
we're
not
trying
to
amend
it
and
not
put
the
right
verbiage
in
there
because
I,
like
I
said
I
would
envision
it
being
very
similar
to
like
a
zba
process
and
then,
as
for
like
ex
officios,
there's
a
couple
of
questions
that
might
come
out
of
that.
F
So
maybe
it's
an
option.
You
know
option
a
option
b
and
then
we
can
pick
from
those.
It
would
be
very
difficult
for
us
to
amend
that
properly
during
a
live
session,
and
since
this
isn't
just
urgent,
you
got
it
yeah.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
any
follow
through
on
that
before
I
ask
for
a
vote
on
the
motion
and
second.
B
Yes,
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
that
I'm
very
happy
with
the
the
process
of
the
commission
setting
up
the
commission
and
betting
and
all
that,
so
that
part
of
the
ordinance
that's
presented
here
is
is
fine
with
me.
I
understand
that,
should
it's
an
open
meeting,
there
will
be
public
comment
opportunity
for
people
to
voice
their
opinion,
regardless
of
the
award
they're
in
it
doesn't
really
matter
to
me,
but
I
just
would
like
that
funding
component
in
part
d
clarified,
rather
than
leaving
it
flexible
for
variable
interpretation.
B
I
would
just
like.
I
want
to
get
rid
of
the
flexibility
in
a
sense
like
itemize
that
it
can.
You
know
that
we're
going
to
have
look
for
private
funding,
we're
going
to
you
know
reach
out
to
older
former
older
woman,
hauman
she's
set
up
in
a
an
account.
You
know:
how
is
she
gonna
manage
that?
How
will
that
fit
into
a
public
private
conversation?
Does
that
make
sense.
A
Makes
sense
to
me
council,
member
bowling,
anybody
want
to
clarify
what
councilmember
bolton
has
suggested
any
concerns.
Okay.
So,
oh
I'm
sorry,
council,
member
painter,
I
see
she's
good,
look
at
that
hand
wave.
G
G
G
You
know
all
the
time
for
for
public
art,
so
you
know
as
an
example,
I
know
someone
who
set
up
a
donor-advised
fund
in
atlanta
illinois
to
plant
tulips
all
over
atlanta
and
everybody
loved
it
so
much
that
they
all
a
lot
of
people
donated
money,
and
now
they
have
a
an
account
with
a
community
foundation
called
endow
atlanta
and
they
can
use
that
money
for
all
kinds
of
beautification
in
the
the
town
of
atlanta.
V
G
So
that's
what
I
would
like
to
see
encouraged,
mostly
and
and
use
tap
into
these
public
private
partnerships.
So
thank
you.
J
Thank
you.
I
know
we
are
talking
about
this
as
part
of
one
motion
that
is
basically
giving
us
more
time
to
hammer
out
the
details.
J
I
do
what
think
that,
when
we
come
back
to
look
at
what
we're
gonna
actually
pass,
then
these
two
issues
should
be
treated
separately
and
should
be
decoupled,
because
I
think
that
there
are
those
who
feel
strongly
about
how
the
commission
is
is
put
together
and
who
makes
up
the
commission,
and
you
know
what
the
public
hearing
process
is,
but
don't
want
to
see
that
flexibility
in
terms
of
the
funding
go
away
and
actually
want
to
see
the
city
play
a
role
in
the
funding,
and
then
there
are
folks
who
really
care
about
the
funding
piece
and
are
less
interested
in
what
the
makeup
of
the
commission
is.
J
So
I
guess
that's
just
from
my
perspective,
that's
what
I'm
hearing
in
this
conversation,
and
so
I
think
as
a
note
to
staff.
I
think
you
will
make
our
lives
easier
if
you
bring
those
options
back
to
us
in
a
way
that
we
can
vote
individually
on
on
each
of
those
pieces.
D
G
A
Yes,
great,
thank
you
so
much
madam
florida.
Thank
you
so
much
to
staff
and
others
we'll
move
on
to
next.
The
item:
nine.
Last
item
on
the
regular
agenda:
nine
f:
there's
no
vote
on
this
there's
a
brief
presentation.
I'm
gonna
turn
over
to
mr
gleason
in
a
second
and
then
a
brief
council
discussion.
Mr
gleason
go
ahead.
N
Very
brief:
there
is
nothing
new
to
be
considered
under
the
emergency
ordinance.
A
Given
that
really
brief
presentation,
is
there
a
really
brief
council
discussion.
A
F
So,
thank
you
tim.
One
of
the
things
that
I
I'm
starting
to
hear
more
is
the
concern
about
the
cold
weather
and
who
knows,
if
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
it
more
indoor,
dining
or
what
the
world's
going
to
look
like.
F
So
one
thing
to
keep
on
the
radar
is:
how
will
the
city
allow
for
outdoor
dining
in
the
winter
and
if
that
means
more
permanent
tents
and
structures,
or
if
we
need
to
make
some
changes
to
how
we
set
that
that
policy
up
those
allowances,
those
permits?
We
should
have
that
conversation
before
it's
cold,
because
that's
quickly
approaching.
A
Well,
I
think
it's
just
the
freeze,
your
ass
off,
if
you
decide
it
amendment,
but
mr
gleason
go
ahead.
N
Actually,
alderman
black,
that's
on
our
radar,
we're
I'm
not
so
sure
that
the
emergency
ordinance
doesn't
allow
for
attempt
with
heaters
already,
but
we're
making
sure.
Secondly,
what
are
the
impacts
for
snow
removal?
So
if
we've
got
these
outdoor
dining,
it's
probably
going
to
translate
to
smaller
plow
trucks,
making
smaller
runs.
You
know,
instead
of
getting
the
larger
truck,
you
know
with
the
momentum
from
one
end
to
the
other,
we're
just
going
to
have
to
adapt
and
definitely
something
we're
working
on.
F
Totally
and
and
I've
seen
that
from
the
team
a
lot-
and
I
can
already
hear
some
people
saying
you
know
who's
gonna
go
dine
outdoors
in
the
winter.
Well,
if
we
want
to
support
our
local
businesses,
you
want
to
make
sure
that
we
allow
them
to
be
able
to
do
that.
So
thanks
tim
yeah.
A
So
as
long
as
we've
got
heaters
out
there,
maybe
it
isn't
the
freezer
ass
off
ordinance
so
cool.
Thank
you.
Everyone
we're
going
to
go
to
the
finance
directors
report,
I'm
going
to
turn
that
over
to
mr
gleason.
First,
I
don't.
If
you
had
your
preparatory
remarks
before
mr
rathman
starts
tim.
N
I
do
thank
you,
mayor
and
council
finance.
Director
rathbun
has
a
shorter
discussion
this
evening,
but
we
continue
to
trend
well
compared
to
other
to
other
illinois
communities,
and
that
is
not
suggesting
that
kova
has
not
had
a
negative
financial
impact
to
to
us
because
it
has
but
we're
beating
our
projections.
N
The
community
really
is
coming
out
and
supporting
the
community
itself.
So
with
that
said
scott,
I
see
you
handing
this
over
to
you.
M
Thank
you,
city
manager,
gleason
good
evening,
council
and
mayor
august,
it's
four
months
into
the
fiscal
year.
Typically
we're
not
getting
a
lot
of
visibility
on
how
the
year
is
going,
but
for
this
year
every
single
month
that
goes
by,
we
anxiously
await
the
revenues
that
post
and
it
gives
us
more
visibility
on
the
covet
impact
to
our
revenue.
So
you
know
we
have
these
delays
in
our
revenues,
especially
with
sales
tax
two
month
delay.
M
M
So
before
I
get
into
august,
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
real,
quick
moment
and
recap:
the
july
projection
that
was
amended
from
the
april
projection
where
we'd
gone
through
a
model
where
we
we
took
the
covet
impact
and
we
broke
it
down
into
quarantine
months,
and
then
I
call
it
a
recessionary
tale
for
the
rest
of
the
year.
So
we
went
through
all
the
revenues,
came
up
with
assumptions
for
reductions
or
impacts
on
those
revenues
and
then
took
a
inflationary
impact
for
the
remainder
of
the
year.
M
Eight
and
a
half
percent
modeled
out
three
scenarios
may
june
july
lift
dates,
so
we
essentially
ended
up
with
two
months
of
quarantine,
and
in
july
we
had
our
first
visibility
on
sales
tax,
so
we
amended
our
projection
for
sales
taxes.
As
an
example,
we
we
had
projected
in
april
that
home
real
estate
sales
tax
would
have
a
50
reduction
for
quarantine
months.
M
The
home
rule
came
down,
31
percent
had
a
31
percent
and
state
was
23.,
so
we
amended
our
projection
in
july,
went
through
all
the
categories
once
again
and
at
that
time,
using
those
assumptions,
we'd
come
up
with
an
8.5
million
dollar
impact
to
the
city.
M
So
at
this
point
in
time,
we're
actually
trending
a
little
bit
better
in
most
of
our
categories
compared
to
our
projection,
but
we're
cautiously
optimistic.
Of
course
we
don't
know
what
the
lingering
impact
might
be.
You
know
if
this
goes
on
into
2022,
but
for
right
now,
with
what
we're
seeing
21
when
we
update
the
projection
which
we're
looking
to
do
next
month,
we
should
be
looking
at
a
better
number
than
that
4.7
million
dollar
impact.
So
we
can
bring
up
the
presentation.
Please.
M
This
is
this
will
be
the
key
exhibit
going
for
the
next
few
months.
We've
added
a
column
here
off
to
the
right
that
shows
the
reduction
or
the
impact
on
our
monthly
budget
for
these
particular
categories.
So
this
I'm
hopeful
that
this
will
give
some
visibility
on
the
most
recent
month,
we've
recorded
for
the
month
we're
reviewing
and
the
reason
I'm
making.
That
comment
is
we're
reviewing
august
right
now.
M
Now
we
we've
had
some
revenues
post
for
september,
but
to
keep
things
consistent,
you
know
we're
just
for
this
exhibit
we're
going
to
show
through
the
month
that
we've
closed.
So
as
an
example,
I'm
going
to
look
at
home
rule
sales
tax.
So,
for
the
mo
the
month
of
august
I
mean
the
late
the
last
month
that
we
had
budgeted.
We
had
a
26.36
impact
under
budget
for
that
month.
Now
we
had
projected
utilizing.
M
The
july
number
is
31,
so
we're
doing
a
little
bit
better
against
our
projection
state
sales,
tax,
13.83
percent
reduction
in
in
the
most
recent
month
reported
we
had
projected
23
percent
income
tax
is
kind
of
an
anomaly.
M
We
had
that
that
push
out
for
the
due
date
from
april
to
july
and
that
pushed
some
revenues
out
into
fiscal
year
21..
Now
we
incorporated
that
into
our
projection
in
july.
So
it's
it's
going
to
skew
our
variances.
So
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
that
briefly,
so
the
125
percent.
You
know
over
budget
for
that
month.
That
was
when
we
got
the
revenues
from
the
state
related
to
the
july.
15
tax
returns
local
motor
fuel
tax.
Now,
there's
one
that's
trending
a
little
under
it.
M
It's
it's
into
the
recessionary
tale
because
we
get
those
numbers
monthly.
There's
no
delay
like
we
do
with
this
sales
tax.
So
with
our
recessionary,
tail
estimate
of
eight
and
a
half
percent
local
motor
fuel
tax
is
dragging
a
little
bit
behind
that
at
the
14.7
percent
kind
of
the
same
message
with
food
and
beverage.
It's
another
local
tax
that
you
know
we
review
and
get
monthly.
We
projected
eight
and
a
half
percent
using
our
recessionary.
M
It's
at
12.7
there's
a
lot
of
creativity
out
there
in
the
city,
so
you
know
we're
looking
to
increase
in
that
category
every
month.
But
that's
that's
one
of
the
ones
you
know
we'll
have
to
be
watching
and
doing
everything
we
can
here
at
the
city
to
aid
our
local
businesses
replacement
tax.
It's
it's
another
one
of
those
income
tax
categories.
I
was
telling
city
manager,
the
deputy
city
manager
that
I
keep
expecting
for
income
tax
and
replacement
tax
to
start
trailing
off.
M
M
This
is
one
where
we
we,
we
actually
increased
the
reduction
when
we
did
our
july
revision.
So
at
that
time
we
assumed
that
it
was
just
going
to
be
a
recessionary
tale.
We
saw
the
impacts
that
were
occurring
in
hotel
motel,
so
we
reviewed
the
revised
projection
to
50
and
for
the
last
month
it
came
in
50
under
our
budget
so
that
one's
hitting
right
at
our
projection.
M
I
wanted
to
circle
back
and
talk
about
local
use
tax.
If
you
look
into
the
middle
of
the
screen,
you
can
see
year-to-date
variants,
217
thousand
dollars
better
than
budget
year-to-date
and
as
a
reminder,
local
use
taxes
where
we're
capturing
our
internet
internet
sales,
tax
that
has
gone
up
every
month,
so
folks
are
shopping.
Online.
I've
commented
on
that
every
month.
M
I
wanted
to
comment
again
that,
as
of
january
1st,
online
retailers
that
meet
certain
limits
are
required
to
start
collecting
the
local
portion
of
sales
of
their
internet
sales,
retail
sales
tax,
we're
going
to
have
a
little
bit
of
a
an
accounting
issue
to
to
explain,
because
some
of
those
taxes
will
actually
roll
up
into
a
home
rule
at
that
point
in
time.
So
we'll
have
to
revise
our
budgets,
but
that's
going
to
be
a
positive
impact
for
us.
M
So
again,
the
message
at
this
time
is
that
compared
to
our
projection
that
we
prepared
in
july
where
we
had
a
4.7
million
dollar
estimated
impact
and
again
that's
that's
using
a
lot
of
assumptions.
We
are
trending
better
than
that
in
revenues.
Now
next
slide,
please
not
going
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
on
this
exhibit
this
evening.
I
just
want
to
point
out
that,
under
the
projection
budget
adjustments
column,
if
you
go
all
the
way
down
to
the
bottom,
that's
the
4.7
million
dollars
projected
impact
that
we
came
up
with
in
july.
M
M
So,
in
a
way
that's
that's
accounted
for
aside
from
the
coveted
impact.
So
that's
why
those
two
numbers
differ
so
again:
revenue's
trending,
better
expenses
are
trending
under
our
vacancy
savings,
is,
is
coming
in
way
under
year-to-date.
There's.
I've
mentioned
this
several
times
in
the
past.
There's
a
good
expense
control
culture
in
the
city.
We
in
the
finance
department
communicate
monthly
with
all
the
department
heads
I'm
always
emphasizing.
M
You
know
to
be
prudent
this
year
and
better
to
wait
and
see,
and
it's
a
you
know,
a
needs
versus
wants
scenario
for
the
city
and
everyone's
really
rising
to
the
occasion.
Next
slide,
please.
M
Enterprise
funds-
typically,
I
just
focus
on
the
revenue
trend,
so
revenue
trend
charges
for
services,
annualized
trend
target,
the
line
regulars
through
august
is
33.
That's
essentially
four
months
out
of
12
we're
33
percent
of
the
way
through
the
year.
Enterprise
fund
revenues
should
track
pretty
closely
just
to
the
trend,
and
you
can
see
right
across
the
board.
M
M
Golf
is
at
54
percent
a
trend,
and
you
know
golf
is
seasonal,
so
54
compared
to
33,
doesn't
really
doesn't
really
provide
an
apples
to
apples.
So
if
you
look
down,
you
see
fy
2020.
M
There
golf
was
at
48
percent
of
trend
through
august
and
20.,
so
people
are
anxious,
apparently,
to
get
out
enjoy
themselves
and
utilize.
The
golf
courses
here
in
the
city,
so
that
was
really
a
positive
thing
to
see
with
the
financials
as
of
the
end
of
august.
So
to
kind
of
finalize,
I
wanted
to
comment.
We've
gotten
our
preliminary
eav
numbers
equalized
assessed
value
from
the
county
were
up
compared
to
the
preliminary
last
year,
just
slightly
1.5
million.
M
Out
of
1.9
billion,
but
at
least
it's
up
and
and
we'll
take
that
as
of
now
so
again,
final
summary
trending
better
than
projection,
we'll
look
to
update
that
projection
next
month,
we'll
have
one
more
months
of
copen
impact
to
utilize
for
that
and
potentially
have
a
longer
presentation
with
an
updated
projection
next
month.
M
N
Understood
just
moving,
and
I
I
need
to
keep
up
if
you
would
craig
throw
up
slides,
please
farmers,
market,
7,
30
to
noon
downtown
next
slide.
N
I
think
this
one's
gonna
yep
the
october
activities
and
as
a
quick
aside,
we're
still
discussing
internally
what
the
possibilities
are
for.
Trick-Or-Treating
know
that
traditional
trick-or-treating
is
not
going
to
occur,
but
do
we
still
have
other
opportunities
like
a
trunk
and
treat
some
things
that
other
communities
are
considering
we're
looking
at
as
well?
But
this
right
here
is
the
october
activities
downtown
next
slide.
N
Since
it's
2020,
it's
been
extended
through
october
31st,
so
you
know
please
take
the
opportunity.
This
is
more
so
me
talking
to
the
community
to
take
advantage
of
this
reach
out
to
friends
and
family
neighbors.
N
I
believe
that's
the
last
slide,
just
a
real
quickie
o'neill
pool,
it's
been
demoed,
we're
cleaning
that
side
up
the
pantograph
covered
that
very
well
for
us
and
then
also
the
this
past
weekend.
Nice
update
on
the
library,
expansion
discussion
and
that's
something
that
will
work
its
way
in
front
of
council
at
some
point
in
the
near
future,
but
that
that's
all
I've
got
mayor.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
Mr
gleason
appreciate
that
tim
and
your
great
assistant,
mr
tyus.
At
this
point,
the
only
things
I
wanted
to
do
was
to
thank
mr
gleason
and
others
for
exploring
options,
because
I've
had
lots
of
questions
about
halloween
and
what
the
contours
that
might
look
like.
So
thank
you
again
for
your
work
on
that.
I
do
want
to
thank
outgoing
counsel.
Excuse
me,
a
convincer's
convention
and
visitors
bureau
chair
carlo
robistelli
for
all
his
work.
A
There
he's
also
been
out,
obviously
on
the
county
board,
we're
sad
to
see
him
go
and
leave
our
community,
but
thank
you
for
your
work.
I
also
want
to
thank-
and
he
has
a
few
more
meetings
for
me
to
needle
him
on-
is
councilmember
black.
A
We
came
on
the
council
and
the
mayorship
at
the
same
time.
Seven
and
a
half
years
ago
I
had
very
little
gray
hair.
A
You
had
some,
oh,
I
guess
you
still
do
I'm
sorry
and
so
we're
very
appreciative
of
all
your
work
and
also
thanking
you
for
your
work
on
the
cbb
and
many
other
organizations,
but
we
do
have
a
date
to
a
time
certain
october
26th
to
to
continue
to
harass
you.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I'm
going
to
see
if
we
have
any
aldermanic
comments,
anyone
from
the
any
aldermen
or
women.
D
Mayor,
you
have
council,
member
bolin,
council,
member
matthew
and
councilmember
crabill.
A
Okay,
I'm
going
to
start
with
councilman
matthew,
because
I
he's
ward
one
and
then
it
was
craybill
and
bowlin
well,
so
we'll
do
a
mathy
bowlin
crabill
in
order.
Thank
you.
H
I
just
was
thinking
that
for
halloween,
what
we
could
really
do
is
we
could
get
everybody
the
like
a
little
diagram
to
build
catapults
and
we
can
just
launch
the
candy
at
the
kids
as
they
walk
by
on
the
sidewalk.
So
you
know
this:
maybe
it's
the
guy
who
owns
the
game
store
coming
out
in
me
there,
but
you
know
we're
socially
distanced
right.
So.
A
It's
socially
distancing,
that's
right
and
we
could
probably
wipe
all
the
candy
off
or
flush
it
out
if
it,
depending
on
what
kind
it
is
right.
Yeah
awesome!
Thank
you,
council
member.
Next,
we
move
to
council
member
bowling
and
then
cradle.
B
Yeah
I
want
to
piggyback
on
what
alderman
black
said
about
outdoor
dining.
It
seemed
to
be
very
successful
with
the
curbside.
So,
if
we're
having
trouble
with
putting
up
tents
and
heaters
and
snow,
I
think
that
people
are
really
good
about
going
to
that
curbside.
They
don't
want
to
cook
at
home.
They
want
to
get
some
food,
and
the
other
thing
I'd
like
to
talk
about
is
please
reach
out
to
your
physician
and
ask
them
about
getting
their
getting
your
flu
shot.
B
A
E
Just
briefly,
I'm
having
another
town
hall,
this
wednesday
september
30th
at
6,
00
pm.
You
can
check
my
facebook
page
for
the
zoom
details.
That's.
