A
Of
the
ceo
bloomington
township,
if
everybody
could
stand
for
the
pledge
of
allegiance.
A
B
C
C
D
B
A
Motion
by
trustee
bowling
second,
by
trustee
becker,
are
we
doing
roco?
Yes,.
F
C
A
And
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
report
by
elected
officials
and
we're
going
to
start
with
township
supervisor
deb
skillroot.
C
D
We
are
working
with
path
now
to
get
on
the
hmis
system,
which
is
utilized
by
several
agencies
for
the
homeless
and
we're
going
to
help
them
facilitate
the
intake
process
with
them
so
that
they
can
utilize
their
esg
cv
funds
a
little
bit
more
efficiently
to
get
more
people
into
the
program,
so
they
did
just
today.
The
original
date
of
their
deadline
was
september
30th,
but
they
just
got
an
extension
until
next
year
so
july.
D
I
believe
I
can't
remember
the
date
exactly,
but
there's
enough
extension,
so
we'll
see
how
this
goes
and-
and
it
gives
us
a
tiny
bit
of
breathing
room
right
now,
because
they
were
really
struggling
to
make
ends
meet
and
see
all
the
individuals
that
they
needed
to
see
and
process
them
through.
So
we're
really
excited
about
the
partnership
with
them,
and
I
hope
we
can,
you
know
serve
them
to
a
capacity
that,
as
the
future
holds,
will
potentially
have
some
administrative
costs
associated
with
that
for
doing
the
work
with
them.
D
E
Would
there
be
it's
one
of
those
pay
me
now
pay
me
later?
If
you
in
the
future
plan
on
doing
oh,
you
know
heating,
cooling
space.
Would
that
cost
more
than
if
you
did
it
now.
D
The
whole
plan
was
to
open
up
our
lobby
area,
contain
a
room
that
was
a
good
size,
add
one
more
bathroom
in
the
front
lobby
and
then
have
access
to
access
to
new
flooring.
You
know
that
could
be
a
surface,
that's
usable
and
more
sanitary
and
and
then
we
would
have
to
have
somebody
kind
of
maintain
or
be
on
site
to
watch
during
after
hours.
G
D
Yeah
right
now,
my
judgment
was
that
if
the
other
facility,
the
building,
facilitates
those
around
us,
facilitate
this,
I
think
we
could
downscale
it.
If
we
had
to,
we
actually
could
even
potentially
just
bring
people
into
our
small
lobby
that
we
have
and
do
something
to
help
out
in
extreme
circumstances.
H
Thank
you
thanks
deb
yeah
those
you
answered
most
of
the
questions
I
had
about
the
warming
and
cooling
center.
What
was
the
planned
like
time?
It
would
be
opened
if
you
had
built
that.
D
Well,
depending
on
the
rfp,
would
be
the
next
step
to
go
out
and
we're
trying
to
shoot
for
that
for
the
next
couple
weeks.
And
then
the
plan
in
terms
of
getting
it
completed
would
be.
D
It
would
still
be
nine.
We
would
not
be
considered
an
overnight
facility
that
takes
a
whole
other
level
of
service
that
we
don't
have
the
capacity
to
do.
I'd
still
have
to
work
with
red
cross
to
determine
what
that
takes
to
be.
That
kind
of,
and
that's
why
originally
the
plan
was
so
is
so
extensive
is
because
I
was
preparing
to
be
that
kind
of
place
which
is
needed,
but
you
know
the.
I
don't
know
how
the
city
is
doing
with
utilizing,
maybe
the
coliseum
or
whatever.
D
D
D
There
we
had
held
a
meeting
with
caseworkers
and
their
staff
and
they're
really
behind
in
their
processing.
Because
of
the
the
extensiveness
of
intake,
I
mean
every
social
service
agency
has
to
have
certain
binding
document
or
documents
that
prove,
and
we
do
this
as
a
on
a
regular
basis
and
really
understand
the
system
and
during
covid
that's
what
what
we
created
was
a
shared
application
so
that
everyone
can
use
it,
and
you
know
we
know
how
to
handle
those
kinds
of
situations.
D
So
if
we
can
help
them
facilitate
that
and
provide
the
information
into
the
hmis
hmis
system,
that's
utilized
around
all
of
the
agencies
earmarked
for
homelessness,
then
we
could
just
make
it
happen
that
much
faster
with
them.
So
the
reason
that
we
were
offering
our
services
was
because
they
were
on
an
extreme
time
crunch,
but
setting
us
up
in
this
position
could
only
help
facilitate
all
of
the
agencies
in
the
community
by
being
on
the
hmis
system,
which
is
not
going
to
be
a
problem.
H
I
The
main
exemption
of
tax
relief
would
be
a
homestead
exemption
if
a
property
owner
lives
in
their
property
and
is
paying
the
taxes,
they
are
eligible
for
relief
on
their
tax
payment
of
reduced
assessment
by
six
thousand
dollars.
I
There
are
several
others
returning
veterans,
disabled
seniors.
Of
course,
these
exemptions,
don't
they
relief
that
property
owner,
but
it
just
shifts
the
burden
off
to
others
that
don't
have
the
same
relief
with
these
exemptions.
So
as
we
get
more
and
more
exemptions,
you
it's
hard
to
see
the
the
the
the
way
the
payment
amounts
massage
to
each
individual
property
owners,
but
individually
an
assessment
would
be
reduced
and
each
each
taxpayer
would
get
a
little
bit
of
tax
relief
with
one
of
these
exemptions.
E
Yeah,
could
you
list
the
ones
that
you
have
to
apply
for?
I
know
that
the
homestead
is,
is
you
sign
up
once
and
once
and
done,
but
some
you
have
to
apply
for
annually.
I
The
veterans
exemptions
with
the
disabilities,
they
need
to
document
service
disability.
I
believe
every
year
senior
freezes
they
have
to
document
income
with
the
county
every
year.
In
case
their
income
goes
over
the
threshold.
Once
you
get
the
senior
exemption
and
you
stay
in
the
property,
it
typically
doesn't
come
off
until
that
property
changes
hands.
So
if
they
they
have
the
exemption
on
file
for
a
senior
and
that
name's
still
on
the
deed.
It'll
stay
a
senior
exemption
and
the
homestead
sometimes
they're,
not
on
there.
I
If
a
rental
property
sells
to,
they
sell
a
rental
property
to
someone
and
they
move
in,
sometimes
it
takes
a
while
for
the
homestead
to
get
caught
up.
So
it's
a
good,
a
good
idea
to
keep
an
eye
on
the
homestead
in
case
the
county.
Doesn't
audit
and
just
takes
it
away,
but
typically
that
would
stay
there.
All
the
time.
A
Okay,
oh
council,
member
trusty,
eaming.
J
I
Well
it
it
could
help
them
reduce
their
taxes,
but,
like
I
said,
if
everybody
had,
the
homestead
everybody's
assessment
would
be
reduced
by
the
same
amount
and
the
taxes
stay
the
same
so
that
that
would
intend.
Ideally
it
would
just
create
the
same
level
of
taxes
for
each
person.
I
But
when
you
see
more,
people
are
seniors
and
falling
into
the
senior
categories
and
increasing
the
amount
of
senior
exemptions
or
disabled
veterans
come
back
and
start
getting
exemptions
and
those
exemptions
increase.
Those
exemptions
are
subtracted
from
the
whole
and
then
the
tax
base
is
leveled
out
across
everybody,
so
it
it
doesn't.
I
Lose
track
here,
but
it
doesn't,
it
doesn't
necessarily
reduce
a
large
amount.
It's
just
good
to
be
aware
of
that
tax
time,
because
the
assessment
notices
are
coming
out-
and
this
is
just
I
guess-
a
public
service
to
help.
People
understand
that
there
is
some
relief
after
your
assessment
may
get
increased,
that
it
may
be
reduced
with
one
of
these
exemptions.
If
you
don't
have
it
already.
So
I.
J
See
so
it's
a
way
to
reduce
the
what
is
audit,
what
what's
determined
or
assessed
as
being
owed,
correct,
correct
and
understood,
and
and
do
you
find
that
people
are
aware.
I
Most
most
people
are
aware
of
these
exemptions,
they're,
not
aware
when
they
call-
and
they
say
my
tax
bill
went
up-
maybe
two
or
three
hundred
dollars
for
some
reason,
and
then
we
see
that
maybe
an
exemption
was
removed
by
the
county.
So
then
the
count
they
can
go
to
the
county
and
they
can
file
and
get
a
refund
for
that
amount
that
they
were
owed.
But
that's
not
that
doesn't
happen
very
often,
but
the
county
is
good
about
paying
the
refund
quite
right,
real,
quick.
A
Okay,
is
there
a
second
okay,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
G
G
C
A
Thank
you.
Public
comment
is
an
opportunity
for
speakers
to
provide
their
views
and
feedback
to
the
city
council.
It
is
also
an
opportunity
for
the
city
council
to
listen
and
hear
diverse
points
of
view
to
maximize
the
impact
of
public
comment
and
show
respect
for
the
respect
of
our
views.
Speakers
should
maintain
civility
and
focus
on
city
issues.
A
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.
Any
speaker
that
engages
in
threatening
or
disorderly
behavior
will
be
deemed
out
of
order
and
their
time
ceased.
Thank
you
marty.
Please.
K
Hello,
I'm
marty,
seigel
I've
lived
in
bloomington
for
over
40
years,
and
I
recently
sent
an
email
to
the
council
expressing
my
concerns
about
recent
trends
and
zoding,
but
I
also
would
like
to
add
these
points
for
you
to
consider
with
the
current.
K
It
would
seem
to
be
in
the
interest
of
the
city
to
protect
our
neighborhoods
from
excess
speculation.
For
one
thing,
this
protects
the
tax
base.
Owner-Occupied
single-family
properties
in
my
area
are
often
assessed
higher,
sometimes
considerably
higher
than
multi-units
of
the
same
size
and
condition.
K
The
code
says
the
r2
mixed
residence
district,
which
is
what
I
live
in,
is
intended
to
accommodate
development
characterized
by
a
mixture
of
housing
types
at
a
high
single
family
and
low
multiple
family
dwelling
unit
density.
I
hope
the
council
will
promote
the
intent
of
the
code
and
work
to
maintain
this
fragile
and
important
balance.
Thank
you.
L
Scott
steimling
ward,
five:
I
realize
that
the
speed
hump
at
the
library
is
to
slow
cars.
Down
that
I
do.
There
was
an
individual
recently
that
tripped
on
that
speed.
Hump
fell.
There
was
blood
all
over
everything.
Fortunately,
someone
with
medical
training
came
out
and
assisted
the
guy.
You
know
we
could
have
had
a
disaster.
I
don't
know
if
the
city's
waiting
for
somebody
to
break
a
neck
and
really
hurt
themselves
before
they
remove
that
or
not
we've
got
the
police
department
right
across
the
road.
L
You
know,
I
don't
know
all
the
departments
are
involved,
parks
and
rec.
I'm
sure
why
not
take
that
money
that
is
spent
with
the
fireworks
going
on
and
put
that
into
the
cotton
picking
roads
that
are
crumbling
under
our
eyes.
L
M
A
Next
item
on
the
agenda
is
recognition
and
appointments.
I
believe
we
do
have
some
to
display
clark.
C
We
do
like
to
recognize
and
if
you
are
present,
please
feel
free
to
stand.
We
have
jennifer
aurora
to
who
is
appointed
to
the
citizens,
beautification
committee
and
deborah
johnson
also
appointed
to
the
citizens
beautification
committee,
margaret
kraft,
citizens,
beautification
committee,
kimberly
howard,
public
safety
and
community
relations
board.
A
All
right,
thank
you
all
very
much
for
taking
the
time
to
to
volunteer.
We,
as
the
council
do
rely
heavily
on
members
of
those
boards
and
commissions
to
help
us
to
the
work
of
the
city,
so
we're
very
thankful
for
you
taking
the
time
to
to
do
this
and
assist
us.
So
thank
you
and
clap
once
again.
Thank
you.
A
A
Okay
motion
by
council
member
urban
and
then
second
by
a
council
member
bolin.
A
So
we're
going
to
do
online
vote
right.
Okay,.
A
A
Having
so
much
fun,
this
was
distracted
for
a
second
sorry,
so
the
consent
agenda
passes
are
no
nice
to
announce.
Thank
you.
A
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
public
hearing
for
the
program
year.
2021
cdbg
consolidated
annual
performance
evaluation
report,
as
requested
by
the
economic
and
community
development.
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
call
the
hearing
to
order
at
the
let's
say:
6
13
and
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
the
city
manager.
Listen
for
introductory
remarks.
O
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
This
is
a
public
hearing
that
the
mayor
just
did
open
presentation.
I
think
that
we
have
a
powerpoint
by
michael's
senate.
He
is
the
community
enhancement,
division
manager
for
melissa,
hahn's
economic
community
development
department.
Michael
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you.
P
Appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
This
report
is
just
kind
of
a
quick
summary
of
our
our
caper,
our
consolidated
annual
performance
and
evaluation
report.
I'm
just
going
to
run
through
the
slides,
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
what
we've
accomplished
in
in
20
program
year,
21
and
some
of
the
challenges
that
we
face
during
that
year,
as
we
head
into
our
into
our
new
program
year.
P
So
the
caper
covers
the
city's
2021
program
year.
So
that's
april
1st
of
21
to
april
24
april
30th,
2022
and
again,
like
I
said
it
just
provides
a
snapshot
of
of
what
we
accomplished
over
in
the
program
year.
Next
slide.
Please
thanks!
P
P
Six
public
service
projects
were
funded
in
this
last
year,
two
public
facility
improvements
and
we
were
able
to
get
some
sidewalk
replacement
and
repair
in
the
west
corridor.
Next
slide,
please.
P
So
the
total
that
we
spent
in
2021
was
461,
000
and
change.
We
do
have
a
remaining
balance
of
117
000,
which
puts
our
total
project
expenditures
for
last
program
year
at
six
hundred
twenty
dollars
and
twenty
one
cents
next
slide.
P
So
the
breakdown
of
that
category
is
is
that
we
spent
two
hundred
forty
five
thousand
dollars
roughly
on
housing
rehab
activities.
The
one
demo
that
we
were
able
to
to
get
done
last
year
was
a
little
over
20
000..
Our
public
services
came
in
at
about
75
000
public
facility
in
our
infrastructure
activities.
This
is
where
we
have
our
remaining
balance
of
117
000.
P
We
have
signed
off
and
spent
41
almost
42
000
of
that,
but
we
are
waiting
to
spend
the
other
117
000
and
then
for
fair
housing,
community
planning
and
section
3
training
activities.
We
spend
a
little
over
56
000
and
then
the
admin
for
our
cdbg
program
comes
in
at
just
over
21
000
for
the
year
next
slide.
P
We
do
have
supply
chain
issues
which
puts
a
higher
price
on
materials
and
delays,
the
delivery
and
installation
of
those
materials,
and
then
we
do
have
a
limited
number
of
contractors
for
rehab
activities,
which
continues
to
be
an
issue
next
slide,
so
the
notice
of
public
comment
period
and
and
public
hearing.
So
we
open
that
on
july
11th,
the
comment
period
runs
from
the
12th
to
the
28th.
Obviously
the
public
hearing
tonight
and
the
caper
is
available.
P
There
are
three
hard
copies
one
at
the
hub,
one
at
the
bloomington
public
library,
one
in
our
department
up
on
the
sec
down
on
the
second
floor,
and
then
you
can
also
access
a
copy
on
the
website
and
of
course,
next
slide.
Please,
and
of
course,
if
you
have
any
questions,
comments
or
concerns,
you
can
always
reach
out
to
me
at
the
information
listed
on
the
screen.
A
Okay,
thank
you
michael
at
this
time
we
will
ask
anyone
from
the
public
that
wants
to
speak
to
come
forward.
Individuals
will
be
allowed
to
speak
only
once,
and
we
ask
that
you
keep
your
remarks
to
five
minutes
or
less
so
that
we
can
get
through
everyone
that
desires
to
speak.
Is
there
anybody
who
registered.
A
Q
Thanks
for
the
overview,
just
a
couple
of
questions,
how
many
structures
are
on
the
list
for
demolition?
Are
you
able
to
say.
P
Right
now,
I
know
that
we
have
one
that
we
are
in
a
step
two
process
with
strong
communities,
funding
a
different
section
of
funding
that
we
have
and
then
I
believe
we
have
two
more
on
the
list
to
to
get
done
before
march
of
next
year.
So
three
total
okay.
P
Essentially,
finding
someone
to
take
a
take
a
structure
down
has
been
more
challenging
and
it
just
takes
time
running
through.
If
we,
if
it's,
if
it's
in
a
historic
area,
we
have
to
apply
for
the
funds,
we
have
to
list
out
all
the
tax
information.
This
stuff
all
has
to
be
reviewed.
It
has
to
come
back
to
us.
It
has
to
go
through
the
proper
zoning
and
boards,
and
so
it
just
is
a
process
that
that
takes
time.
Q
Okay
and
then
one
last
question
you
mentioned
co
ongoing
covered
challenges.
What
are
some
of
the
challenges
that
you
face?.
P
So
most
I
think,
with
covid
are
supply
chain
issues,
installation
issues,
so
it
puts
us
behind
schedule.
Windows
is
a
big
one
right
now,
there's
a
six
to
eight
month,
delay
from
ordering
windows
to
the
times
that
windows
come
in.
So
what
happens
there
is
that
we
have
the
program
year.
P
But
I
would
say
it
just
was
from
a
logistics
standpoint,
but
it
was
just
a
little
bit
of
a
bigger
issue
than
what
we
anticipated.
H
H
H
Okay,
so
may
1st,
so
we've
had
a
little
over
two
months
in
the
new
year.
How
is
it
going
so
far
in
the
new
year.
P
P
H
P
I
think
it
is,
it
does
add
up.
We
do
carry
over
a
little
bit
because
the
agreements
with
cdbg
aren't
always
finalized
by
the
new
program
year.
So
to
get
things
started,
we
do
carry
over
a
small
percentage
from
year
to
year
to
pay
those
invoices
when
they
come
in.
Just
in
case
there's
a
couple
month
lag
between
signing
agreements
with
the
government.
H
P
Yeah,
so
the
total,
for
that
is
ten
thousand
dollars.
There
is
a
priority
given
to
housing
housing
authority
residents,
so
we
turn
those
monies
over
to
bha
for
job
training
programs.
As
far
as
looking
into
and
doing
more,
I'm
sure
there's
always
an
opportunity
to
do
that.
There
is
no,
you
know,
administration,
our
our
admin
is
kind
of
maxed
out
for
where
it
is
that
we
want
to
keep
that
percentage
low.
So
we
can
put
more
monies
into
projects
around
the
city.
P
I'm
sure
that
we
can
always
look
into
what
other
funds
are
available,
but
as
of
right
now,
we've
not
done
that.
R
Thank
you,
mayor,
hey,
thank
you,
michael
for
coming
and
speaking
with
council.
This
evening
I
noticed
in
your
report.
You
talked
about
a
shortage
of
contractors.
Is
that
just
because
of
the
competition
in
the
community-
and
I
wonder,
do
you
is
there
any
strategy
that
you
know
you
are
thinking
about
that
might
help
you
pick
up
more
contractors
to
do
the
work
that
you're
trying
to
do.
P
Yeah,
so
I
think
a
couple
of
things
one:
it
contractors
are
busy
right
now
and
when
you're
looking
at
the
size
of
project
that
the
city
can
offer
for
single
family
rehab,
it
doesn't
match
what
they
can
make
on
a
60,
000
kitchen,
renault
or
redoing,
multiple
bathrooms.
In
the
same
in
the
same
house,
it's
faster
work
they
get
paid
faster.
P
Our
structure
is
also
a
little
bit
different,
where
some
of
the
upfront
costs
has
to
go
out
of
the
contractor's
pocket,
and
then
we
reimburse
at
the
halfway
point-
and
the
finish
I
think
also
there
was,
I
think,
there's
also
some
misconception
that
is
part
of
our
plan
to
maybe
clear
up
around
the
city
about
prevailing
wage.
What
that
looks
like
so
I'm
new
to
the
city.
P
I've
only
been
here
for
about
10
months,
so
just
kind
of
getting
the
finger
on
the
pulse
of
what's
happening,
establishing
some
relationships
with
contractors
and
just
being
more
present
in
the
community,
so
that
they
know
that
the
city
you
know,
has
an
open
door
and
wants
a
wants,
a
working
relationship-
and
I
don't
know
that
that
didn't
happen
in
the
past.
But
I
can't
speak
to
that,
so
my
plan
is
simply
just
to
be
more
out
active
and
be
marketing
our
programs
and
the
benefits
they
have
for
the
community
in
our
residence.
J
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
you
mentioned
challenges.
You
know
with
the
supply
chain,
in
particular
in
copen
19,
and
we
all
feel
that.
But
I
wondered
if
you
could
speak
to
needs
that
you
have
identified,
because
you
are
in
a
position
to
see
sort
of
the
layers
of
need
in
the
community,
and
this
is
just
your
point
of
view.
But
what
do
you
think
the
greatest
needs
are
right
now.
P
Yeah,
you
know,
I
think,
to
the
same
needs
that
kind
of
always
have
been
right.
We
are,
we
are
looking
at
rehabilitation
because
we
want
people
to
age
in
place.
P
We
want
to
provide
funds
for
those
who
can't
or
don't
necessarily
have
the
fund
for
funds
for
general
upkeep
of
their
home
and
maybe
haven't
over
the
course
of
10
to
12
years.
So
the
house
has
fallen
farther
in
disrepair.
The
idea
is
to
invest
these
monies
into
a
community
so
that
the
that
we
are
raising
the
the
ascetic
we're
raising
the
bar.
We
have
the
expectations
that
bloomington
as
a
whole
is
a
great
city
to
live
in
right.
P
So
I
I
don't
know
that
my
assessment
is
any
different
than
what
it
would
have
been
or
that
it
would
be
in
any
community.
These
needs
are
always
present.
P
F
You
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
and
I
wanted
to
go
back
to
council,
member
cradle's
idea
and
and
questions
about
the
section,
three
job,
training
and
then
kind
of
tack
on
with
councilmember
crumpler.
F
I
job
trip
well
his
lack
of
of
contractors
and
what
about
an
idea
of
of
partnering
with
the
current
contractors
to
do
job
training
so
that
they
can
get
more
employees
and
it
would
help
your
it
could
help
out
with
your
contractor
shortage
and
it
could
also
piggyback
on
and
do
some
additional
job
training
for
people
and
that
type
of
idea,
kind
of
think.
Outside
the
box
there.
On
that.
P
Yes,
so
I
think
that's
a
valid
point.
I
don't
know
that
the
lack
of
contractors
for
the
city
or
the
county
exists.
There
are
lack
of
contractors
that
are
actively
working
with
the
city.
So,
yes,
I
think
that
looking
into
those
funds,
seeing
if
there's
an
expansion
there,
thinking
outside
the
boxes,
is
not
an
alien
concept
to
to
myself
or
anyone
who
works
in
the
division,
so
I
think
that's
an
avenue
that
we
could
move
towards.
P
I'm
also
just
looking
for
what
we
can
do
now
to
spend
the
funds
that
we
have
now.
So
it's
it's
a
dual
path
right.
We
can
explore
this
option,
but
I
need
to
find
ways
to
spend
these
funds
in
a
timely
fashion
where
we
don't
carry
over
so
that
we
don't
anger
hud,
so
we
don't
have
any
penalty
so
that
we're
making
sure
that
we're
also
turning
over
and
that
we're
providing
the
services
to
neighborhoods
that
we
said
we
were
going
to
in
our
annual
action
plan.
F
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
bolin
and
then
ward.
E
Yeah,
I'm
probably
gonna,
send
you
some
emails
with
the
questions
that
I
have,
but
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
in
your
report
that
what
we
received
in
the
packet,
there
was
a
lot
of
talk
of
different
groups
that
you
work
with,
and
all
that
do
you
do
you
really
feel
that
there's
a
sense
of
collaboration
and
working
toward
the
common
goal.
P
So
I
I
guess
I'll
go
back
and
say:
10
months
is
not
enough
time
for
me
to
have
been.
I
have
started
to
wade
in
those
waters.
I
would
say
I'm
not
actively
swimming,
so
there
is
always
room
again
for
our
department
to
be
more
interactive
to
be
more
collaborative.
I
think,
if
I'm,
if
I'm
to
offer
a
sort
of,
if
I'm,
if
I'm
asked
to
take
sort
of
a
cursory
glance
and
to
make
an
assessment,
I
think
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
the
community.
P
I
think
the
need
right
now
far
outweighs
capacity
of
some
of
our
organizations
to
do
which,
in
my
opinion
and
historically
throughout
my
career,
has
created
other
organizations
reinventing
the
wheel,
which
now
you
have
three
or
four
organizations,
doing
the
exact
same
thing,
but
none
of
them
are
doing
them,
maybe
to
the
best
of
their
ability
when,
if
if
the
one
could
have
increased
capacity,
maybe
that
would
have
been
sure.
P
E
P
P
I
would
say
our
limitations
are.
We
are
all
new
to
our
position.
The
grant
the
grants
department
has
is
is
all
sort
of
new
three
people
in
that
division,
including
myself
that
have
been
here
for
less
than
a
year.
We
are
in
the
midst
of
creating
new
policies
and
procedures
where
some
did
not
exist
before
we
are
also
trying
diligently
to.
P
If
you
can
imagine
three
things
happening
simultaneously
right.
We
are
addressing
issues
from
previous.
We
are
trying
to
continue
to
move
the
program
forward
and
then
we're
dealing
with
challenges
such
as
carryover
supply
chain
and
the
remnants
of
the
covet
19
pandemic,
so
not
to
make
an
excuse
or
to
stand
up
and
make
an
excuse,
but
I
think
that's
a
lot
for
any
division
to
handle.
I
I
think
I
think,
joni
and
and
william
both
handle
it
very
well,
and
we
are
in
the
process
of
sort
of
handling.
P
All
of
that,
while
moving
forward
and
trying
to
be
proactive,
where
I
think,
from
day
one
we've
we've
been
predominantly
reactive,.
B
B
Q
This
and
I'm
at
you,
know
you're
saying:
we've
got
money
we
need
to
spend
and
I've
had
constituents
and
neighbors
who
would
be
happy
to
help
you
with
that,
and
I'm
just
I'm
just
saying
at
this
point
I
would
put
a
plug
in
for
that.
If
there
is
any
possibility
of
that.
P
So
yes,
while
I
I
definitely
appreciate
and
understand-
and
I
I
came
in
right
about
the
time
that
all
this
was
going
down-
we
did
establish
the
overhead
sewer
program
a
little
bit
separately.
A
rehab
specialist
who
is
also
under
me
in
the
same
division,
has
been
working
on
and
handling
that
stat
wise.
I
don't
have
those
numbers
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
know
that
they
are
addressing
those
issues
now
so.
Q
P
G
A
Okay,
at
this
point,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
the
public
hearing
and
it
is
now
6
35
and
we
are
going
to
move
to
the
regular
agenda
and
we'll
start
with
item
9a,
a
consideration:
an
action
to
approve
a
contract
with
afscme
local
699,
who
represents
workers
at
the
bloomington
public
library,
as
requested
by
the
bloomington
public
library,
and
I
am
going
to
turn
it
over
to
city
manager.
Gleason
for
introductory
remarks.
O
S
Thank
you.
I'm
pleased
to
present
you
with
this
tentative
agreement
that
was
ratified
by
the
library
workers
union
on
june
30th
and
approved
by
the
library
board
on
july
19th.
It
just
some
of
the
highlights.
It
is
a
three-year
agreement.
It
does
set
the
groundwork
for
future
expansion
of
operating
hours
of
the
library.
S
S
It
does
have
a
one-time
bonus
for
employees
with
10
or
more
years
of
service.
It
adds
a
floating
holiday
for
veterans
day,
but
this
leaves
the
library
open
increases
annual
vacation
carryover
that
employees
are
allowed
to
do
add.
Sick
leave
for
part-time
employees
with
two
or
more
years
of
service
adds
a
wellness
day
off.
If
staff
complete
wellness
requirements,
improving
the
health
of
our
employees
adds
parental
leave
of
20
work
days
and
removes
accelerated
sick
leave
accrual.
S
In
the
first
year
of
employment,
we
do
plan
to
relieve
strategic
vacancies
this
year
to
offset
unbudgeted
increases,
and
we
really
hope
that
future
eav
increases
will
absorb
the
increases
in
the
future
years
of
the
contract.
But
we
are
confident
that
operational
budget
management
will
accommodate
any
differences
that
we
don't
realize
in
that.
S
I
I
did
not.
I
apologize
if
I
misspoke,
but
we
did
not
do
anything
with
sickly
buyback.
Okay,
a
few
years
ago,
we
addressed
in
the
sickly
buyback
issues
that
we
have
it.
Perhaps
vacation
carryover,
yeah,
so
vacation
carryover
is
just
each
year.
You
have
to
use
your
vacation
within
that
year
and
then
they
they
used
to
be
able
to
carry
over
only
24
hours
if
they
didn't
use
it,
and
we
increased
that
to
40
hours
that
they
can
carry
over.
A
Okay
sounds
good.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
correct.
Yes,
so
if
we
go
ahead
and
vote
online.
A
The
next
item
of
on
the
agenda
is
item
9b
consideration
and
action
on
a
resolution
establishing
a
framework
for
the
use
and
expenditure
of
american
rescue
plan
funds
for
the
city
of
bloomington,
as
requested
by
the
administration
department,
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
senior
manager
gleason.
For
a
introductory
remarks
and
presentations.
O
This
is
a
quick,
very
brief
conversation
regarding
the
american
rescue
funds
that
we
received
and
actually
were
in
receipt
of
the
entire,
nearly
13.4
million
dollars
from
the
federal
government.
As
a
community.
You
might
recall
we
had
a
presentation
at
the
committee
of
the
hole
in
may
where
we
as
a
community.
O
You
know,
like
many
communities,
they've
taken
different
pathways
to
include
the
community
and
how
the
funds
could
and
should
be
spent
ours
in
the
may,
committee
of
the
whole
presentation
was
to
present
to
council
the
idea
of
adopting
a
resolution
that
had
three
categories:
broader
categories
that
we
felt
fit.
The
conversation
that
council
members
had
had
and
the
community
input
that
we've
received
and
what
we
included
in
this
was
three
categories.
One
was
social,
economic,
one
was
economic
development
and
one
was
infrastructure,
broadly
categorized.
O
For
us,
it
was
very
obvious
that
the
community
and
the
council
held
a
very
strong
opinion
that
infrastructure
should
be
funded
the
most
and
in
fact,
what
was
presented-
and
it
remains
the
same
tonight
in
this
proposed
resolution-
is
9
million
dollars
of
the
nearly
13.4
million
dollars
will
be
obligated
and
not
obligated,
but
will
be
used
for
infrastructure
during
the
timeline
that
we
have
to
expend
these
funds.
That's
nearly
70
percent
of
the
total
funding
amount
that
we
received
from
from
the
federal
government.
O
O
So
that's
what's
before
council
tonight,
I
know
that
there
has
been
a
fair
amount
of
council
or
peer
conversations
regarding
this
topic.
This
is
a
single
resolution
capturing
these
three
broader
categories,
with
those
funding
amounts
and
again
just
to
repeat
myself.
O
Every
individual
project
has
to
be
brought
back
to
council
for
approval
and
then
also
you
know
this
is
a
resolution,
and
if
we
find
that
there
is
a
higher
priority
or
a
change
in
the
vision
by
the
elected
officials,
we
can
make
that
change.
But,
like
many
communities
you
know
we
we
were
asked
and
the
expectation
by
the
community
to
show
what
value
are
we
placing
on
these
funds
that
we
received
from
the
federal
government?
O
So
that's
what
you're
seeing
tonight
in
the
form
of
this
resolution,
something
else
to
share
is
that
we
have
nearly
five
million
dollars.
That's
already
either
been
truly
expended
or
is
obligated
of
the
13.4
million
dollars
150
000
recently
from
you
know,
for
the
coral
mobile
health
unit.
O
That
would,
if
this
has
passed,
would
fall
under
the
socioeconomic
category
and
then
on
the
infrastructure
side.
We
have
5
million
dollars,
that's
either
been
expended
or
obligated,
and
that
number
could
be
7
million
of
the
9
million
that
we
are
dedicating
to
infrastructure
and
the
breakdown
of
that
very
quickly
is
the
locus
colton
combined
design
work
that
we've
talked
about
the
hydraulic,
modeling
design,
work
that
we've
talked
about
and
then
council
placing
a
high
priority
on
asphalt
and
concrete
on
our
sidewalks
and
our
roads
in
the
community.
O
At
the
local
level,
we've
already
have
project
budgeted
of
nearly
seven
million
dollars.
Council
wanted
an
additional
2
million
dollars
in
this
construction
season
22
and
that's
going
to
come
from
the
arp
funds.
O
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
mayor
to
you
and
council
to
see
if
there's
any
additional
questions,
but
this
truly
is
a
result.
A
couple
of
months
after
the
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
in
may
of
this
year,
thank
you.
A
T
T
So
when
we
say
we're
going
to
use
the
these
funds
for
those
projects,
do
we
guarantee
that
the
budgeted
funds
are
still
available
in
that
same
category?
So,
if
we're
taking
arpa
money
and
putting
it
into
roads
which
relieves
budget
money
here,
are
we
also
guaranteeing
that
we
can
still
use
that
that
we
are
going
to
still
use
that
budget?
O
It
does
this
is
not
a
takeaway
from
anything
else
that
was
budgeted
or
forecast
to
be
budgeted.
We're
truly
treating
this,
and
this
was
at
the
council's
direction
that
this
was
an
unexpected
opportunity
from
the
federal
government,
and
this
is
extra
to
anything
that
we
currently
would
fund.
T
I
don't
want
money,
that's
sitting
in
that
category,
to
not
be
able
to
be
used
such
that
we
would
forfeit
it.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
an
opportunity
to
take
that
money
and
shift
it
elsewhere
outside
of
the
three
buckets
or
across
buckets.
If
we
don't
have
enough
that
again
will
qualify
if
that
makes
sense,.
O
It
definitely
makes
sense,
and
that
definitely
will
not
happen.
Something
else
that
I
should
have
shared
is
on
the
social,
economic
and
on
the
economic
development
side.
Staff
are
currently
working
on
a
template.
You
know
sort
of
a
guideline
similar
to
cdbg,
where
applications
can
be
made
to
use
these
funds.
This
is
something
that
staff
are
working
on
and
while
it
won't
need
council
approval,
council
has
definitely
made
it
clear
that
they
want
to
see
something
like
that.
F
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
I
want
to
go
back
to
something
that
council
member
becker
was
was
talking
about
there
and
guaranteeing
that
the
you
know
that
you
know.
We've
got
this
this
13
plus
million
dollars
here
and
making
sure
that
you
know
push
comes
to
shove,
that
you
know
we
were
actually
able
to
use
all
the
funds
and
what
I
would
like
to
see
in
an
ordinance
like
this,
and
you
know
where
we've
got
the
9
million
for
infrastructure,
the
the
2.1
and
the
2.1.
F
For
for
the
other
two
items,
I
would
actually
like
to
see
in
the
ordinance
I'm
going
to
use
the
term
a
drop
dead
date
that
says,
if
we
haven't
spent
the
money
by
this
time,
we
automatically
shift
it
to
you
know
so,
using
the
the
economic
development.
If
we
haven't
spent
the
money
by
you
know
this
date,
it's
automatically
shifted
to
infrastructure
and
something
like
that
that
we
automatically
shift
the
money
if
it's
not
spent,
and
I
think
that
would
give
some
encouragement
to
to
maybe
spend
it
on
the
economic
development.
F
And
then
you
know
it
is
there
and
we
know
it
can
be
used
immediately
and
it
kind
of
puts
that
emphasis
that
hey
it
is
already
allocated,
because
we
know
we
have
to
make
sure
the
money's
allocated
and
so
and
then.
My
second
point
that
I
would
like
to
see
and
and
mr
city
manager,
you
touched
on
it
with
the
staff
putting
together
guidelines.
F
One
thing
that
I've
heard
from
from
from
city
city
leaders
in
business
is
that
they
would
like
council
to
have
more
input
in
codifying
and
putting
into
ordinance
the
guidelines
and
so
honestly,
before
I
think
we
should
vote
on
something
like
this
and
saying
you
know
we're
going
to
spend
this
money
on
economic
development
and
this
money
on
socioeconomic
opportunities.
F
I'd
like
to
see
those
guidelines
of
you
know
these
are.
These
are
the
ten
thick
criteria
you
must
meet
in
order
to
qualify
for
the
funds
and
I'd
like
to
see
that
in
there
and
then
my
last
point
would
be
the
city
infra,
the
infrastructure.
F
We
we
we've.
You
know
our
public
works
department
has
identified
that
we
have
an
issue
with
getting
contractors
here
to
because
of
our
blooming,
to
prefer
the
preferred
part
of
the
ordinance
that
should
be
part
of
this
that
any
of
the
money
we're
spending
out
of
this
arpa
funds.
For
you
know,
for
for
infrastructure,
we
should
waive
that
portion
so
that
we
can
get
the
work
done.
F
We
aren't
going
to
get
the
work
done
if
we,
if
we
have
to
solely
rely
on
those
here
locally,
we've
we've
got
to
reach
out
to
other
communities,
and
we've
got
to
reach
out
to
to
be
able
to
reach
out
to
other
contractors
in
order
to
get
the
work
done.
So
I
think
it's
important
that
we
waive
that,
and
I
think
it
should
be
part
of
the
ordinance,
let's
put
it
all
in
together.
Let's
get
let's
let's
plan
it
and
do
it
and
and
get
it
all
done
all
parts
in
there
together.
So
thank
you.
U
I
would
just
like
to
reiterate
a
couple
of
the
points
that
were
made
and
it
goes
back
to
the
presentation
earlier,
which
was
really
good
and
for
a
new
person.
You
seem
exceptionally
competent.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
that,
but
the
national
objective
and
qualifying
people
there's
a
lot
laid
out
in
this
final
rule
that
we
were
provided
from
the
department
of
the
treasury,
but
still
there's
a
lot
of
subjectivity
in
terms
of
meeting
a
linear
connecting
point
for
approval.
So
I
think
that
stop
gap,
just
you
know,
directionally,
to
understand.
H
Thank
you
mayor
a
couple
of
points.
I'd
like
to
make
you
know,
I
I
do
think
that
you
know
we
have
the
opportunity,
as
tim
said,
to
be
flexible.
You
know,
I
I
think
if
we
have
some
kind
of
stop
gap
for
infrastructure,
it's
just
gonna
all
be
the
infrastructure
right,
because
we
can
all
think
right
now
what
to
spend
it
on.
So
why
not
just
spend
it,
but
we
have
other
needs.
H
You
know,
I
think
people
you
know
would
rather
have
a
roof
over
their
head
and
and
not
have
a
great
street.
You
know.
So
I
think
we
need
to
be
splitting
this
up
and-
and
I
I
do
think
we
maybe
be
putting
too
much
money
in
infrastructure,
but
you
know
I
would
vote
for.
I
will
be
voting
for
this,
so
a
question
as
I'm
talking
here.
What
is
it
looking
like
right
now,
tim
with
regard
to
spending
that
extra
2
million
dollars
for
this
year.
O
That's
something
that
council
made
it
very
clear
to
myself
and
the
public
works
department
that
you
wanted
an
addendum
to
the
project
work
that
was
going
to
occur,
this
construction
season.
That
will
be
let
here
very
soon,
and
we
do
expect
to
do
two
million
dollars
of
additional
work.
The
arp
funds,
this
construction
season.
H
Right,
thanks
tim,
I
just
kind
of
looked
through
the
the
document
from
the
department
of
treasury
kind
of
the
final
report
or
guidelines.
H
I
wanted
just
to
note
that
some
of
those
requirements
include
assisting
with
applying
for
services,
which
I
think
goes
back
to
the
community
navigator
position.
We
discussed
last
week
also
on
page
153,
but
programs
are
services
to
support
long-term
housing
security,
including
development
of
affordable
housing
and
permanent
supportive
housing.
H
H
What
I
see
that
as
meaning
is
that,
right
now
you
know
the
the
hud
provides
vouchers
section,
8
vouchers
that
allow
recipients
to
pay
for
rent.
Typically,
though,
rent
is
higher
in
in
in
some
parts
of
the
city
versus
others,
and
something
like
this
would
allow
people
to
live
in
all
parts
of
our
community,
not
just
some
and
then
finally
I'll
mention
that
you
know
we.
I
do
believe
we
have
a
food
desert.
H
Both,
I
don't
know
we
say
the
historic
west
side,
but
also
just
the
west
side
in
general,
including
war
ii,
that
we
can
address
with
this.
So
just
I
know
everybody's
thinking
about
these
things,
but
those
are
the
things
that
I
saw
when
I
review
the
document.
Thank
you.
B
Q
Thank
you,
city
manager.
I
would
really
really
appreciate
it
if,
when
we
get
the
presentation
on
on,
you
know
the
applications
and
so
forth,
that
included
in
that
will
be
some
real
emphasis
on
how
how
we
will
market
the
availability
of
these
funds
to
organizations
and
people
who
are
interested
in
addressing
socioeconomic
and
development
needs,
because
my
my
biggest
concern
with
what
council,
member
walsh
is
proposing
and
and
council
member
montney
is
also
talking
about
in
terms
of
a
drop-dead
line.
Q
It's
not
like
they're
walking
up
to
the
city
and
saying
here's
this
big
budget
line
that
already
exists
as
in
for
roads
and
sewers
and
infrastructure,
and
here's
this
this
city
system,
that's
already
in
place
to
do
this
they're
having
to
make
this
up
from
scratch,
and
so,
if
we
don't
market
the
availability
of
these
funds,
I
think
what
we're
doing
is
setting
ourselves
up
for
the
very
strong
likelihood
that
nobody's
going
to
know
to
tap
into
them
and
we're
going
to
just
have
another
rest
grant,
for
example,
where
this
money
sits
there
or
the
overhead
sewers
for
that
matter,
and
the
money
sits
there
and
nobody
knows
about
it
and
nobody
can
tap
into
it.
Q
And
so
I
hope
that
we
can.
We
can
include
in
whatever
application
and
process.
We
create
a
serious
effort
to
market
this,
rather
than
just
sort
of
allow
it
to
the
clock
to
tick
out,
and
then
it
goes
to
to
potholes.
I
need
potholes
fixed,
I
believe
in
potholes
being
fixed.
I
don't
think
potholes
are
nearly
as
important
as
the
combined
sewers
and
and
that
needs
to
come
to
the
top
of
the
list
before
potholes.
Q
A
Okay,
thank
you
before
we
go
any
further.
I
think
we're
going
to
need
a
little
bit
more
time,
I'll.
A
C
Yeah,
just
real
quick
council
member
walsh.
T
H
R
Thank
you,
mayor
I'll,
be
brief.
I
was
really
interested
on
page
21
of
the
federal
guidelines.
It
says
technical
assistance,
counseling
or
other
services
support
business
planning
and
I'm
hoping
that
in
the
economic
development
category
within
this
category,
we
could
include
what
could
be
included
with
supporting
new
development
opportunities,
for
example,
a
grocery
store
on
the
bloomington's
west
side
if
there
were
an
appropriate
interest
from
a
qualified
developer
with
a
well-developed
business
plan.
So
that's
all
I
had
to
say
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
bolin
and
then
last
but
not
least,
councilman.
E
Well,
first,
I
want
to
ask
melissa:
are
you
taking
notes?
Okay,
I'm
kidding
yeah,
I
do
say
I
do
think
this
framework
is
the
best
way
to
go.
I
went
back
and
looked
at
the
youtube
video
from
the
committee
the
whole
and
there
was
a
lot
of
good
input.
I
think
it
was
repeated
tonight
regarding
the
costs
and
the
deadline.
E
According
to
the
final
rule,
the
money
needs
to
be
obligated
by
2024.
So
when
we
get
into
that
budget
cycle
previous
to
that,
we
can
evaluate
for
that
matter.
We
can
have
a
annual
report
brought
before
us
the
status
of
the
arpa
to
address
some
of
the
concerns
over
here,
whether
or
not
it's
being
spent
at
a
fast
enough
pace
and
then,
of
course,
it
has
to
be
spent
by
2026.
E
So
we
have
a
lot
of
flexibility
timewise
here-
and
this
is
a
resolution
tim
mentioned.
This
is
not
an
ordinance.
This
is
not
put
in
stone,
there's
going
to
be
flexibility,
moving
forward
as
needs
come
up
and
the
whole
idea
council
is
presenting
the
what
or
approving
the
what
tonight,
which
is
the
umbrella,
and
then
staff
does
the
how
which
it
put
together
some
kind
of
application.
E
Look
through
the
final
group
rule,
like
alderman
crumpler,
said
and
said:
oh
yeah.
These
are
good
ideas.
These
are
good
ideas.
Let's
try
to
promote
this,
so
I
think
that
I'm
in
favor
of
this,
I
just
wanted
to
make
some
comments
about
the
comments
that
I
had
heard
up
here.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you
mayor.
I
was
going
to
comment
on
the
2024-2026
timeline
as
well.
I
think
that
there's
a
built-in
deadline
about
about
using
the
funds
but,
more
importantly,
the
framework
allows
us
to
create
the
next
step,
which
I
think
was
really
important,
that
you
brought
up
alderman
walsh
that
we
need.
J
We
do
need
the
guidelines
and
we
do
need
a
process
for
making
those
decisions,
but
this
framework
creates
the
an
opportunity
for
that
next
step,
because
now
we
know
the
categories
within
which
those
proposals
can
be
developed
and
vetted,
and
I
don't
want
to
determine
that
if
we
don't
spend
on,
we
don't
spend
all
the
funds
by

I
don't
want
there
to
be
a
foregone
conclusion
that
we're
then
going
to
direct
money
in
some
other
way.
I
I
want
us
to
to
be
deliberate
and
intentional
about
about
how
we
make
those
decisions.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
I
think
that's.
This
is
everybody
that
we
we
have.
F
Very
quick
question:
the
dates,
the
timelines,
the
2024
and
the
2026.,
the
2024
for
allocating
the
funds,
and
so
if,
after
that
point
it's
like
wait,
you
know
what
we've
allocated
too
much
here
and
not
enough
here.
Can
we
reallocate
that
in
2025.
O
No,
we
can't
the
the
funds
truly
have
to
be
obligated
in
their
entirety
by
2024
and,
as
I
was
listening,
alderman
walsh
to
your
comment
and
then
listening
to
everybody
else's.
O
O
So
you're
going
to
know,
along
with
an
annual
report
like
alderwoman
bowling,
was
suggesting
we're
not
going
to
get
to
a
point
to
where
these
funds
are
not
obligated.
You
know
to
your
initial
comments,
alderman
becker,
so
maybe
that
satisfies
that
I
capture
a
running
total
and
each
of
the
project.
You
know
projects
that
come
back
for
council
approval.
C
Yeah
just
as
a
reminder,
we
have
council
member
bolin
made
the
motion
and
it
was
seconded
by
councilman.
A
There
are
no
days
to
announce.
Thank
you.
We're
going
to
move
to
item
9c
consideration
and
action
on
ordnance
amending
chapter
2,
section
13,
setting
the
boundaries
of
the
cities;
nine
awards,
as
requested
by
the
city
clerk
department
and
the
administration
department,
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
city
manager,
gleason
or
introductory
remarks.
O
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
This
is
a
follow-up
to
the
presentation
that
was
made
last
week
at
the
committee
of
the
whole
staff
presented,
two,
I'm
sorry,
four
total
maps,
but
out
of
that
conversation,
two
maps
appeared
to
become
the
top
choices.
If
everyone
recalls
map
number
two
staff
map
number
two
seemed
to
be
the
one
that
captured
the
most
support
by
council,
followed
by
staff
map
number
three.
O
But
at
the
end
of
the
conversation
there
was
a
request
to
bring
back
an
additional
map
and
that's
what
we've
done
and
that's
what's
going
to
be
discussed
tonight.
So
that's
going
to
be
staff
map
number
five
that
will
be
brought
forward
and
we
look
to
council
if
they're
able
to
decide
on
one
and
if
not,
we
can
always
bring
this
back
with
additional
follow-up
staff
work
for
the
august
8th
council
meeting,
but
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
real,
quick
to
share
just
the
players.
O
I
know
our
city
clerk,
leslie
yoakam
was
one
that
presented
last
week
and
I
know
that
she
mentioned
several
times:
troy
olsen,
our
gis
person
in
public
gis
employ
and
public
works,
just
an
amazing
job.
On
the
part
of
what
he's
done
and
if
I
had
known
that
he
was
not
going
to
be
here,
I
would
have
made
sure
he
was
going
to
be
here
because
he
needs
to
be
recognized
and
pointed
out
to
the
community,
but
the
deputy
city
manager
oversaw
this
entire
project.
O
C
All
right,
thank
you
and
keep
troy
in
your
thoughts.
He
hasn't
been
feeling
well
or
we
were
gonna,
have
him
here
so,
but
we
will
pass
that
on
to
him.
So
I'm
not
gonna
go
through
everything
that
we
went
through
last
time.
I
know
through
that
we've
been
through
it
publicly
a
couple
of
times
now
so,
just
as
a
reminder,
we're
looking
at
really
three
factors:
two
that
come
to
us
from
the
statute
and
then
one
from
case
law,
so
compactness,
contiguousness
and
population
deviation.
C
The
city
manager
nailed
it
when
he
said
exactly
what
we're
going
to
do.
We're
just
going
to
briefly
look
at
two
three
and
then
I'll
highlight
five,
which
is
that
combo
plan,
and
then
we
also
did
the
overlays
that
you
requested
and
so
we'll
look
at
the
comparisons
of
each
of
those
and
then
as
you've
seen
in
the
packet,
we
included
three
different
versions
of
the
ordinance
so
that
if
at
the
end
of
the
presentation
you
are
inclined
to
approve
a
plan,
then
the
motion
will
just
include
that
particular
plan's
name
moving
forward.
C
So
if
we
could
have
the
next
slide,
please
all
right.
So
here
we
have
plan
two.
The
only
thing
I'm
really
going
to
kind
of
focus
on
is
the
upper
right
hand
corner
so
the
northeast
and
then
the
southwest,
where
we
see-
and
this
one
is
horizontal
and
we
see
in
the
top
corner.
This
is
the
one
where
ward
3
had
85
26,
which
allowed
us
to
bring
together
some
larger
neighborhoods
and
then
also
consider
future
growth
switch
to
plan
three,
please.
C
The
difference
in
this
plan
is
that
the
the
southwest
is
shown
in
that
vertical
configuration
and
plan
the
upper
right
hand
corner
switches
toward
three
where
it
goes
to
9102
and
divides
some
of
the
larger
neighborhoods
plan.
Five,
all
right.
So
this
is
the
new
plan
and
the
really
thing
the
things
to
focus
on
are
again
the
bottom
left,
so
the
configuration
of
words
one
and
two
there
we've
got
it
in
the
vertical,
which
seemed
to
be
kind
of
that
preferred
look.
That
was
the
one
that
was
carrying
over
from
plan
three.
C
C
So
some
of
the
factors
we
had
pointed
out
that
we
tried
to
do
pulling
the
downtown
area
under
a
single,
primarily
a
single
council
person
and
then
utilizing
veterans
parkway,
is
that
clean
line
as
well
and
just
as
a
reminder,
the
hashed
precincts
are
the
ones
where
a
council
member
and
we
will
continue
on
please
thank
you.
Go
one
more
all
right.
So
here
are
the
overlap
maps
this
one
as
you
can
see
at
the
top.
This
is
plans
two
and
three
and
really,
as
we
were
going
through
them.
C
I
kind
of
pointed
out
the
the
big
things
so
plan
two
would
be
shown
or
is
shown.
If
you
look
at
the
legend
in
the
top
right
plan,
two
is
outlined
with
the
thick
black,
the
precincts
and
their
population
totals
are
in
red,
and
then
these
are
all
the
changes
from
plan
three.
C
So
this
particular
one
it
impacts
the
let's
see
so
we've
got
the
upper
right
hand
corner
there's
the
difference
because
of
that
change
that
we
talked
about
with
the
one
considering
the
growth
for
ward,
three
and
then
the
bottom
right
is
in
the
vertical
I'll.
Leave
it
there
for
just
a
second
and
we'll
keep
going,
and
we
can
come
back
to
these
and
next
slide.
Please
all
right.
So
when
you
compare
two
and
five
and
you'll
see
the
same
on
the
next
slide,
the
only
difference
is
that
bottom
left-hand
corner.
C
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
and
here
the
difference
between
three
and
five
is
the
upper
right-hand
corner.
So
truly
five
is
a
combination
of
of
the
two
other
maps,
the
two
and
three
you're,
basically
just
keeping
the
vertical
on
the
bottom
and
you're
able
to
keep
the
growth
and
the
neighborhoods
together
when
looking
at
the
upper
right.
T
So
a
couple
comments
here.
First
of
all,
I
just
one
quick
one
that
the
process
again
was
awesome.
In
my
opinion,
we
took
input
from
the
public.
We
took
input
from
many
many
versions
of
maps
from
you
guys
and
then
also
the
discussions.
So
this
is
about
the
most
well-vetted
thing
that
I've
seen
in
a
while,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
because
of
that,
I
just
make
a
motion
that
we
go
to
number
two
and
be
done.
A
That
motion
okay,
so
council
motion
by
council
member
becker
second
by
council
member
bolin,
are
there
other
comments?
Councilmember
krebel.
H
H
H
I
also
wish.
Maybe
we
could
have
had
a
special
meeting
or
something
to
have
try
to
have
more
public
input.
You
can
only
give
you
know
an
opportunity
right
and
we
have
given
given
them
an
opportunity,
but
sometimes
it's
good
to
have
more
more
than
one
or
just
just
keep
trying.
H
H
I
think
the
current
map
has
good
solid
representation
on
the
for
the
west
side
in
wards
six
and
seven
work,
and
now
ward
six
moves
further
east.
I
do
think
under
map
two.
It
will
be
difficult
for
residents
of
ward
one
to
feel
in
any
way
cohesive,
as
it
stretches
from
veterans
parkway
to
I-55
on
the
west
side.
H
Also,
I
I
do
think
there
is
an
advantage
to
have
three
older
persons
representing
downtown
to
support
downtown
interest
and
and
just
to
kind
of
go
back
in
history
and
and
give
out
give
a
shout
out
to
kelby
cumston,
who
always
gives
us
his
opinions.
H
The
wart
system
was
created
in
in
like
1980,
and
the
reason
it
was
created
was
for
rep
was
that
residents
of
the
west
side
did
not
feel
that
they
were
adequately
represented
on
that
current
council
and
I
do
feel
we're
a
little
bit
at
least
going
away
from
that.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
yeah
council,
member
ward,
crumpler
and
e-making.
Q
Thank
you
as
well
for
all
the
work
that
you've
put
into
this,
and
I
especially
appreciate
the
opportunity
for
us
to
at
least
see
this
proposed
board
redistricting
plan,
five,
which
I
actually
see
as
something
of
compromise,
which
would
have
been
nice
to
have
been
able
to
consider
more
fully
in
what
feels
like
an
often
polarized
climate.
Q
I
it
was
refreshing
to
to
have
an
opportunity
to
have
a
compromise.
I
do
see
plan
five
as
as
the
best
option
among
those
that
we've
talked
about
at
this
point.
I'm
not
supportive
of
plan.
Two
for
some
of
the
reasons
that
council
member
craybill
raised.
Q
We
talk
about
how
important
it
is
to
have
affinity
within
a
with
an
award.
We
talk
about
how
important
it
is
to
have
neighborhoods
be
connected
to
one
another,
we're
talking
about
it
with
regard
to
downtown
we're
talking
about
it
with
regard
to
the
north
east
side,
but
somehow
that
doesn't
seem
to
matter
with
the
west
side
under
plan
two.
I
see
plan
five
as
an
option
to
compromise
and
to
come
together
and
say
what's
good
for
the
northeast
side.
R
I
agree
with
councilman
rebecca
that
I
really
leslie.
I
commend
you
for
the
process
and
billy
and
troy
all
of
you
have
done
just
an
outstanding
job,
presenting
these
to
us
these
last
few
weeks.
R
For
me,
I
do
plan
to
support
on
plan
2.,
it's
my
understanding
that
conversations
have
taken
place
with
west
side
residents
and
they've
expressed
support
for
plan
two,
and
I
have
to
to
say,
as
an
elected
official,
I
believe
it
is
the
primary
responsibility
to
listen
to
constituents
and
vote
accordingly,
and
so
I
will
be
supporting
plan
too.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
who
was
next
was
that
you,
okay
yeah.
I
think
you
were
next
okay,
councilman.
J
I
always
do
that,
and-
and
I
I
say
this
first-
I
let
me
be
clear-
I'm
this
is
this
is
genuine.
I
I
think
that
in
a
lot
of
respects,
all
of
the
maps
are
really
good
right.
They
meet
all
the
redistrict
redistricting
requirements.
J
J
Finally,
the
ultimate
deciding
factor
is
that
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
arguments
that
have
been
made
in
favor
of
maintaining
wards
in
the
spirit
of
what
is
called
communities
of
interest
or
neighborhoods
that
share
an
identity
such
as
some
of
our
old
west
side
neighborhoods,
and
I'm
not
suggesting
that
any
map
will
forego
that,
but
rather
that
I
want
to
amplify
voices
that
I
I
recognize
as
legitimate
in
this
community
and
as
a
representative,
I
think
that's
one
of
my
roles
to
to
communicate
that
and
I
think
the
the
minimal
change
map
one
the
current
structure.
J
It
does
allow
for
good
representation
across
all
of
bloomington,
while
maintaining
all
of
the
requirements
and
that
it
it
provided
an
opportunity
to
maintain
that
that
representation,
so
I
I
felt,
along
with
or
having
studied
the
maps
and
considered
it
along
with
alderwoman
ward,
I
thought
that
map
five
was
a
great
compromise,
so
I
also
appreciate
the
work
that
you
did
on
that,
so
I
will
not
be
supporting
map2
this
evening.
Thank
you.
E
E
So
the
integrity
I
believe
on
the
west
side
is,
is
the
same
or
hasn't
changed
very
much
and
in
relation
to
the
stretching
of
ward
1
to
the
east
side,
I
would
like
to
remind
you
that
the
state
farm
headquarters
are
located
in,
I
believe,
precinct
21.
So
again,
a
lot
of
this
stretching
has
to
do
it's
not
related
to
residential
and
that's
the
people
that
we
represent.
E
C
And
just
so,
we
can
clarify
really
quick,
so
we
had
a
council
member.
I'm
sorry,
yes,
but
I
just
want
to
clarify
the
motion,
so
the
motion
would
be
the
proposed
ordinance
be
approved,
with
exhibit
a
proposed
plan.
Two
correct,
okay,
thank
you.
A
O
Very
quickly
and
thank
you-
this
is
the
finance
director's
report
he's
going
to
be
commenting
to
fy22
in
the
first
quarter
of
23,
and
I
got
that
right
a
little
bit
and
I'm
going
to
turn
the
floor
over
to
scott
rathbun.
V
Thank
you,
city
manager,
gleason,
this.
This
is
kind
of
like
the
the
tweener
time
of
year
for
us
we're
not
quite
far
into
fy
23
because
of
the
delay
in
revenue.
V
V
For
the
month
of
may,
those
tax
filings
aren't
due
until
june
25th,
and
so
it
isn't
until
early
july
that
we
know
those
revenues.
So
we'll
be
doing
one
final
look
at
fy22
and
then
we
won't
be
revisiting
that
until
the
audit
reports
will
be
which
will
be
sometime.
This
fall
audit
literally
takes
six
months
to
complete,
there's
a
lot
of
activity
related
to
the
public
safety
pension
funds,
the
independent
sort
of
boards
that
we
have
with
the
library
and
the
zoo,
etc.
V
But
tonight
we
do
have
some
some
23
revenues
that
we'll
run
through
quickly
and
kind
of
talk
about
the
process
on
how
we
budget
those
and
track
those
and
use
seasonality
from
the
last
15
years
to
run
those
those
budgets
through
the
year.
Once
we
come
up
with
the
annual
number
estimate
for
for
our
fiscal
year,
so
next
slide
please.
V
So
this
is
just
a
re-review
of
the
major
tax
revenues
for
fy22.
This
exhibit
has
only
changed
by
eighty
one
thousand
dollars
since
last
month
with
when
budget
manager
chris
tomlin
presented,
I
will
highlight
local
motor
fuel
tax
did
come
up.
Some
of
the
local
taxes
were
finalized
with
accruals
etc.
V
Related
to
the
audit
came
in
right
at
that
four,
basically
right
at
that
four
million
dollar
mark,
which
is
roughly
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
lower
than
you
know
where
we've
been
trending
pre-covered
we're
going
to
show
you
where
we're
at
with
23,
and
it's
kind
of
looking
like
that,
4
million
number
might
be
what
what
we're
settling
in
at
for
now
next
slide.
Please
general
fund
total
revenues.
V
These
went
up
156
000
over
last
month,
along
with
the
taxes,
there
were
some
adjustments
to
the
charges
for
services
about
57
thousand
dollars
out
of
that
12.8
million
dollar
year-to-date
number,
just
some
adjustments
related
to
final
accruals,
etc
and
those
service
categories
next
slide.
Please
expenditures!
No
material
changes
here
as
well
went
up.
47
000..
I
want
to
highlight
the
structure
of
this
slide,
one
more
time,
the
year-to-date
actual.
You
can
see
that
there's
117
117.8
million
dollars
in
total
expenditures.
V
If
you
run
down
that
column,
a
beginning
fund
balance
for
the
year
year
is
27.7
million
and
then
adding
in
the
current
activity,
which
would
be
the
revenue
less
the
expenditures
we
can't
see.
The
revenues
on
this
slide
would
be
the
15.6
million,
but
then
we
have
encumbrances.
So
when
we're
talking
about
with
arpa
funds
and
obligated,
typically
an
encumbrance
there's
been
an
authorization
by
council
or
there's
a
po
issued,
so
it's
not
invoiced
in
the
system,
so
it
actually
hasn't
hit
our
financials.
V
But
it's
in
the
system
as
an
encumbrance
and
from
a
budgetary
standpoint,
we
recognize
that
as
an
expense.
So
that's
3.4
million.
Now
that
number
has
been
included
in
the
projection:
slash
budget
adjustments
column
so
that
we,
you
can
see
the
the
the
budgetary
adjustments
per
category.
So
even
though
those
haven't
been
booked
the
second
to
the
right
column
that
3.4
million
has
been
allocated
in
there.
V
So
just
you
know
for
those
that
crunched
the
numbers
on
these
exhibits,
the
year-to-date
actual
total
of
117.8
million,
plus
a
3.4
million
dollars
in
encumbrances,
will
equal
the
far
right
total
expenditure
column
of
121.2
million,
and
you
can
see
that's
about
105
000
under
budget
other
than
that
explanation.
V
The
total
predicted
projected
reserves
for
the
general
fund
are
still
right
at
that
38
million
dollars.
It
came
up
slightly
from
last
month.
Our
targeted,
you
know,
gfoa
standards,
say
two
months
out
of
12
for
reserves.
That's
roughly
17
percent
of
120
million
dollar
budget
that'd
be
20
million
dollars
of
115
million
dollar
general
fund
budget
that'd
be
about
19.6
million,
so
really
really
about
20
million
dollars.
So
you
can
see
we're
coming
in
really
well
for
the
year.
V
That's
about
a
33
reserve
amount
or
percentage.
Excuse
me
next
slide.
Please
just
no
material
changes
here.
You
know
we
focus
on
that
solid
waste
number.
You
can
see
that
it
actually
came
in
with
the
surplus
related
to
you
know
the
the
brush
burner
and
some
of
those
rebounding
financials,
we've
seen
related
to
recycling.
V
So
next
slide,
please
so
again
for
fy
22,
no
material
changes
from
from
last
month,
very
positive
year.
For
the
most
part,
revenues
really
exceeded
budgets
by
tremendous
amount
and
expenses
held
pretty
pretty
solid
for
us.
Obviously,
there's
inflationary
concerns
that
we're
looking
at
this
year,
you've
seen
some
items
come
through
council
meetings
in
the
last
couple
of
months.
You
know
some
of
those
expenditures
are
running
15
to
30
percent
up
and
what
some
of
those
items
we
have
control
over
though
we
could
delay
those
expenses
we
can
buy.
V
Half
you
know,
that's
the
revenues,
though
you
know
where
we
don't
have
control
over
those
revenues.
So
seeing
those
revenues
come
in
and
continue
to
come
in
which
I'll
show
you
now
here
in
a
moment
is
really
a
positive
thing
for
the
city.
So
a
little
fy
2023
preview,
just
some
revenue
categories
very
briefly
here.
So
next
slide,
please
home
rule
sales
tax.
I
just
want
to
comment
real,
quick
quickly
on
the
note
says:
the
city
receives
these
funds
approximately
two
months
in
arrears.
Well,
our
revenue
recognition
policy
is
only
back
date.
Two
months.
V
We
really
receive
those
revenues
three
months
later
and
then
we
back
date
them
two
months
later
it
gets
a
little
complicated.
But
the
point
is:
there's
a
there's,
a
tremendous
delay
in
the
in
the
receipt
of
our
revenues
related
to
sales
taxes
far
left
column
at
the
bottom.
You
can
see
for
the
year
we
we
budgeted
27.8
million.
The
fy
22
budget
was
22
million.
22.1
million
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
this
during
the
budget
presentations
earlier
this
this
year
last
spring
the
online
retail
cannabis
drove
that
increase.
V
We
used
15
plus
years
of
monthly
data
to
kind
of
seasonalize
our
annual
amount.
So
our
annual
amount
we
use
trends.
We
look
at
iml's
estimates,
economic
indicators,
that
kind
of
thing,
so
we
come
up
with
a
27.8
million
dollars,
it's
kind
of
a
gross
number
and
then
we
seasonalize
it
related
to
our
budget
tracking
and
that's
what
you're
seeing
here-
and
this
is
how
we
track
our
revenues.
V
So
we
came
in
you
can
see
about
the
fourth
column
over
eighty-eight
thousand
dollars
over
what
we
were
budgeting
and
that
was
up
about
183
000
over
the
far
right
column
you
can
see.
Last
year
we
had
about
2.25
million
in
fy
2022.,
so
very
positive
results
so
far
with
one
month
in
fy,
23.
next
slide,
please
state
sales
tax,
don't
bottom
highlighting
6.5
million
dollar
budget
for
the
year
fy
22
budget
was
14.5
million.
So
we
took
that
up
by
two.
V
V
They
are
puzzled
to
even
iml
and
I've
been
contacted
by
the
county
bin
word,
etc.
You
know,
what's
going
on
with
pprt
and
income
taxes
they're
just
through
the
roof,
there's
companies
out
there
that
are
really
doing
well.
You
know
in
this
environment
they
have
been
in
the
last
two
years,
so
we
are
already
I'll.
Just
start
from
the
beginning.
Here,
far
left
corner
bottom
corner:
nine
million
dollar
budget,
eight
million
dollar
budget
the
prior
year.
So
we
took
that
up
a
million
year
to
date
we're
473
000
ahead
of
budget.
V
So
far
now
this
is
a
little
under
the
prior,
but
that's
the
prior
year
is
when
they
pushed
out
the
irs,
the
deadlines
for
tax
filings,
so
it
kind
of
pushed
out
some
of
those
revenues
into
the
next
year.
So
we
are
doing
really
well
in
income
tax
revenues
a
year
to
date
and
replacement
taxes,
but
I
don't
have
that
slide
today.
Next
slide,
please
food
and
beverage
taxes.
This
is
always
a
good
indicator
of
our
local
economy.
You
can
see
bottom
left
corner
4.5
million
budgeted.
V
We
had
four
million
dollar
budget
in
fy,
22.
fy
22
is
coming
in
at
5.1
million,
so
it's
coming
in
way
over
budget.
So
we
feel
good
that
the
budget
is
4.5
for
23
89
000
over
budget
for
the
month
and
then
that's
up
about
50
grand
over
prior
year,
so
again
a
good
indication
of
a
strong
local
economy.
V
Next
slide,
please
local
motor
fuel
tax,
so
bottom
left
corner
4.1
million.
We
budgeted
4
million
in
2022.
We
just
discussed
with
that
major
tax
revenues
for
the
fy22
that
we
are
coming
in
right
at
4
million
and
you
can
see
in
may
you
know
we're
about
11.5
11.5
thousand
dollars
under
budget.
We
just
straight
line
these
calculations
for
local
motor
fuel
tax.
We
don't
seasonalize
it.
It
does
vary,
and
this
is
down
thirteen
thousand
dollars
from
the
prior
year
mays
activity.
V
Now
this
can
be
affected
by
late
filings
by
you
know
some
of
our
gas
stations
etc.
But
this
kind
of
indicates
to
me
that
we
were
really
you
know,
kind
of
on
track
or
kind
of
stabilizing
at
that
four
million
dollar
number.
So
you
know
there
there's
been
discussions
about
increase
the
favorable
variances
we've
seen
in
some
of
our
other
taxes.
V
You
know,
and
so
we
can
see
that
the
local
motor
fuel
tax
is
kind
of
holding
that
four
million
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
about
finding
more
revenue
dollars
for
for
our
roads,
so
taking
into
you
know
this
could
be
something
council
considers
in
future
discussions
during
the
retreats
et
cetera
how
positive
our
other
revenues
are
doing,
but
this
one
it's
kind
of
stabilizing
at
that
four
million
dollars,
700
500
to
700
000,
under
where
we
were
trending
at
prior
to
that
next
slide,
please
and
then
just
to
pat
our
backs
a
little
bit
in
finance
department.
V
Gfoa
has
a
recognition
program
for
the
budget
document,
there's
some
very
stringent
guidelines
and
criteria
that
they
they
use
to
to
grade
your
your
budget
document.
There's
I
think
I'm
going
to
get
this
wrong
four
to
six
reviewers.
It
might
be
four
for
every
fiscal
year.
We
get
comments
from
them.
Chris
tommerlan
does
a
tremendous
job
and
we're
reviewing
the
comments.
Updating
the
budget
document.
V
You
know
to
acknowledge
those
requests
from
the
gfoa
or
suggestions,
and
we've
already
received
our
award
for
fy23
for
the
for
that
budget
document.
So
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
that
as
well
and
then
next
slide.
Please
we'll
wrap
it
up
and
just
a
reminder
to
the
community
that
these
presentations
are
located
on
the
website,
along
with
our
budget
documents
or
on
the
finance
page,
and
then
we
do
have,
and
I
brought
one
with
me
tonight-
we
have
the
budget
and
brief
document
this
year.
V
H
V
You
are
reading
that
right
so
that
this
was
some
of
the
strategic
additions,
especially
going
into
fy23
and
related
to
it,
staff
right.
H
V
V
Acknowledge
but
we
didn't
want
to
hit
each
department
and
force
those
departments
into
those
guidelines,
but
we
catch.
We
started
doing
this
four
or
five
years
ago
capturing
a
vacancy
savings,
which
is
a
common
practice,
but
we
just
do
it
on
one
line
item.
So
even
though
we
had
a
2
million
vacancy
savings
built
in-
and
you
know
that
we
ended
up
with
that,
437.
O
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
Very
brief.
I've
got
two
slides
first
one
please
what's
happening
downtown.
There
are
several
events
always
happening,
but
we
have
brought
some
bags
on
august
5th
saturday's
on
the
square
august
6th
and
then
bloomington's
pride
fest
is
on
august
13th
next
slide
downtown
dog
days
august.
1St
friday
is
coming
up
not
this
friday,
but
next
and
then
the
downtown's
far
downtown
farmers
market.
I
say
this
every
time,
but
it's
so
true.
O
It's
extremely
well
attended-
and
this
is
a
perfect
segue
into
my
one,
and
only
comment
besides
the
slides
is
bloomington
made
the
top
100
list
for
livability
this
past
week.
I
think
we
are
number
64
out
of
all
the
communities
in
the
united
states
and
our
downtown
outdoor
farmers
market
was
mentioned
as
one
of
the
many
reasons
why
we
made
the
top
two
thirds
of
that
list
of
100.
So
it's
yet
another
recognition
for
the
community
truly
a
great
community.
Thank
you,
mayor.
A
Thank
you
and
under
mayor's
comments,
I
wanted
to
echo
what
the
city
manager
said
about
downtown
and
the
downtown
farmers
market.
If
you
haven't
been
there,
it's
it's.
It
just
feels
really
good
to
see
so
many
people
out
there,
and
in
addition
to
that,
I
would
say
some
of
the
the
concerts
around
the
square
has
been
have
been
a
lot
of
fun
to
attend.
So
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
do
that.
I
wanted
to
thank
mayor
protem
donna
boland
for
filling
in
for
me
on
on
the
11th.
A
As
some
of
you
might
know,
my
my
dad
passed
away,
so
I
had
to
travel
to
attend
the
funeral
so
and
it
looks
like
we
didn't
miss
a
beat,
so
that
was
fantastic,
and
I
want
to
also
thank
the
the
staff
and
and
council
members
as
well
who
have
reached
out
to
offer
their
condolences
so
it
it
means
a
lot
to
to
be
thought
of
in
that
way,
and
I
think
that
is
all
I
I
have,
and
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
our
council
members
to
see.
If
anybody
has
comments.
Councilman
becker.
T
So
I
just
want
to
share
a
couple
thoughts
from
the
criminal
justice
coordination
council,
which
I
now
sit
on
and
I
attended
the
first
meeting
since
I
joined
that
council
last
week
and
I
think
people
really
need
to
be
aware
of
what's
happening
and
the
good
things
that
are
happening
in
our
community
with
all
these
people
working
together.
T
This
commission
started
as
it
was
related
to
just
prison
overcrowding,
but
it
then
shifted
to
how
do
we
prevent
violence?
How
do
we
work
together
and
how
to
reduce
the
recidivism
rate
and
there's
a
couple
numbers
that
I
want
to
share,
and
I
don't
want
to
go
too
long.
I
know
people
don't
want
to
hear
a
lot,
but
in
a
10-year
period-
and
this
this
council
gets
all
of
its
data
from
the
stevenson
center
and
isu
and
dr
frank
back,
who
is
completely
unbiased
right?
T
It's
just
data,
but
in
a
10-year
period
there
were
500,
I'm
going
to
get
it
close,
roughly
530
juveniles
that
hit
the
juvenile
detention
center
and
less
than
half
of
those
later
on
at
the
adult
detention
center
in
a
community
this
size
for
mclean
county
those
numbers
are
astronomically
low.
We
are
doing
some
really
good
things
to
take.
The
people
that
got
into
the
system
once
went
through
programs
now
didn't
ever
get
back
into
the
system
again
and
that's
what
we
really
want
is
violence
prevention
and
support
there.
T
So
there
is
some
fabulous
work
going
on
right
now
and
I
think
we
just
need
to
be
aware
of
all
these
groups
that
are
working
on
it.
In
addition
to
isu,
we've
got
a
doctor
from
loyola,
that's
presenting
data
and
working
with
us
on
the
the
the
safety
act.
That's
going
into
effect
in
january.
T
U
Yeah,
I
just
had
a
suggestion
for
consideration
for
the
future
about
a
quarter
of
our
packet
tonight
around
50
pages
related
to
two
transfers
at
lake
bloomington,
and
I
understand
that
that
process
requires
effectively
a
project
within
the
city.
Each
time
we
go
through
it
and
while
I
haven't
gone
back,
you
know
infinitely
in
the
past,
I'm
not
aware
of
any.
Where
there's
been
an
issue
of
contention,
that's
had
to
be
discussed
by
the
council.
U
So
might
this
be
an
opportunity
for
us
to
look
and
see
if
there's
a
chance
for
these
to
actually
be
empowered
by
staff
to
handle
and
then
only
escalate
to
the
council
when
and
if
needed,
for
some
extraordinary
circumstance.
N
N
It
was
a
spectacular
and
beautiful
event
of
many
people
in
the
neighborhood
coming
together
without
argument,
without
without
any
questions
and
just
loving
each
other
and
having
food
and
games
and
excitement,
and
it
was
really
an
honor
to
be
able
to
attend
that
event
and
participate.
N
In
that
event,
and
just
thanks
to
everyone
who
came
out
and
showed
support
for
the
event,
I
I'm
overjoyed
that
we
could
do
that
and
I'm
already
looking
forward
to
doing
west
fest
again
next
year,
so
kudos
to
kristin
and
all
the
staff
there
and
thank
you
all
for
coming.
Q
Yes,
I
would
just
like
to
acknowledge
that
tomorrow
is
the
32nd
anniversary
of
the
americans
with
disabilities
act
and
want
to
celebrate
that
fact
and
would
request
respectfully
that
within
the
next
month,
we
could
get
an
update
on
where
our
own
transition
plan
stands
and
processes
for
for
lifting
up
issues
related
to
that.
H
Thank
you.
We
have
another
fun,
entertainment,
food
type
of
event.
This
saturday
july
30th
at
miller,
park
the
cultural
fest
that'll
be
from
12
to
6,
with
performances
all
the
way
along.
You
can
meet
disney
princess
tiana
in
the
kids
zone,
boot
trucks,
vendors
and
it's
free
to
attend.
E
E
It's
the
tracy
drive
neighborhood,
it's
off
of
south
main
street
and
veterans,
and
you
can
check
out
the
report
and
the
photos
on
their
facebook,
page
they're,
always
kind
of
entertainment
with
their
entertaining
with
their
comments,
but
many
of
the
buildings
are
actually
condos,
which
means
it's
an
opportunity
for
home
ownership
and
wealth
building.
E
So
I
think
that
people
may
not
be
aware
of
that,
and
the
apartment
buildings
are
currently
under
new
own
ownership
and
management,
and
I
noticed
walking
through
this
past
week
that,
yes,
the
appearance
of
the
buildings
have
improved.
There
are
new
windows.
E
It
will
be
much
more
attractive
for
people
that
want
to
move
in
there.
The
police
basically
said,
and
even
the
residents
said
that
the
the
monkey
business
has
diminished
over
the
past
two
or
three
years,
which
is
really
very
good
news
and
the
property
owners
are
working
toward
family-friendly
community
management.
E
So
I
didn't
know
that
I
learned
something-
and
this
is
going
to
be
to
mr
gleason-
he's
not
going
to
want
to
hear
that
we
approved
minutes
this
morning
or
to
be
this
morning
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
from
committee,
the
whole
from
february
18
2022,
and
it
was
the
connect
transit
presentation
and
in
those
minutes,
council
member
emeg
asked
about
the
status
of
the
connect
trans
iga
and
I've
been
asking
about
the
status
of
that
every
month.
E
K
J
I
just
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
who
supported
me
in
participating
in
20
stars
for
life,
which
is
a
fundraising
program
to
help
at-risk
adolescents.
High
school
students
stay
stay
for
for
all
four
years,
and
I
really
want
to
thank
donna
and
jeff
for
attending
with
me.
J
There's
a
little
more
pomp
and
circumstance
than
I
enjoy,
but
having
good
good
company
made
it
worth
it
and
just
a
quick
shout
out
to
public
works,
a
constituent
contacted
me
recently
about
needing
attention
to
an
issue,
and
when
we
were
speaking
on
the
phone
he
said
you
know
those
guys
came
out
and
fixed
a
water
main
break
in
the
dead
of
winter.
It
was
only
eight
degrees.
I
felt
terrible
for
them.
They
were
so
nice
and
good
about
it.
Just
in
the
spirit
of
wanting
to
call
out
the
things
that
work.
A
Okay,
I
I
think
that
is
enough
fun
for
tonight.
Is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn.
A
Okay,
I
was
in
favor
singing
five
by
saying:
aye.
Okay,
we're
adjourned.
