A
Okay,
good
evening,
everyone
we
are
going
to
go
ahead
and
call
the
meeting
of
the
city
of
Bloomington
Township
to
order
if
everyone
could
stand
for
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
B
D
C
A
We
are
going
to
move
on
to
the
consent
agenda.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda.
C
F
A
G
So
the
McLean
County
Housing
Coalition
has
recognized
several
different
issues
in
the
community
regarding
housing
crisis
and
there
are
some
gaps
in
services
and
barriers
to
you
know,
meeting
the
needs
of
rental
assistance
and
some
other
ones
Township
resonated,
especially
with
the
one
associated
with
rent
housing.
Rent
what's
been
going
on.
G
Is
that
there's
not
much
funds
available
for
rent
assistance
now,
especially
to
cover
the
arrears
of
you
know
paying
down
what
people
owe
a
lot
of
that
comes
from
the
covid
kind
of
residual
covet
and
the
inflation
that
we're
in
right
now,
so
we
decided
to
put
together
a
new
program
called
here
here
is
housing.
G
Let's
see,
housing
eviction,
relief
efforts,
we
like
acronyms
attention,
so
this
program
is
utilizing
the
serp
funds
that
weren't
are
really
not
being
used
right
now,
so
moving
those
funds
over
into
this
program,
and
specifically,
if
you
address
it
in
your
packet
under
the
here
program,
we're
just
working
with
evictions,
housing
evictions,
rent
rent
assistance
and
or
mortgage
assistance,
okay,
but
we
find
that
a
lot
of
people
are
more
in
the
rent
issues,
utility
assistance
and
then
property
tax
and
property
insurance.
G
G
It
allows
a
little
bit
of
flexibility
with
who
we
can
provide
services
to,
and
that's
listed
in,
your
board
packet
and
I'll.
Just
repeat
what
they
are:
anybody
on
fixed
income
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
SSI
SSA
at
low
SSA
income
and
SSDI.
Are
you
familiar
with
all
of
those
terms?
Would
you,
like
me
to
say
those
sure?
G
Okay,
supplemental
security,
income,
social,
social
security
and
Social
Security
Disability,
though
the
SSA
and
the
SSDI
are
ones
that
are
earned
based
on
income
that
you've,
you
know,
you've
participated
in
work
program,
I
mean
work,
not
work
program.
So
that's
earned
income.
That's
what
what
you
would
get
in
terms
of
a
pension
or
disability.
G
The
SSI
is
for
the
very
low
income
and
there
are
usually
over
62,
and
there
is
a
need,
even
with
those
individuals
so
that
fixed
income
is
going
to
be,
or
this
income
from
the
here
program
is
going
to
be
available
to
anybody
on
a
fixed
income
for
age,
62
or
older,
that
is
very
low
income
and
class
X
or
class
one
drug
ability.
Those
are
the
ones
that
we
can't
serve
through
Township.
G
These
are
specifically
items
that
would
immediately
we'd
turn
down
if
they
came
and
approached
us
for
rent
assistance
and
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
it.
So
we're
opening
this
up
to
them.
This
will
be
three
thousand
dollars
combined.
If
they
qualify
for
general
assistance
emergency
assistance,
we
would
move
them
into
this
program
as
long
as
other
agencies
aren't
available
for
funding
right
now.
G
There
are
none,
that's
the
Gap
and
then,
when
we
reach
3
000,
and
that
can
be
not
a
one
time,
it
can
even
be
over
the
course
of
the
year
if
they
come
back
with
a
different
bill.
G
So
we're
hoping
to
make
some
progress
here
in
terms
of
helping
individuals
that
are
in
this
particular
crisis,
because
what
we're
seeing
and
forgive
me
if
I'm
talking
too
much
but
evictions
if
somebody
were
to
get
a
current
eviction,
it's
very
difficult
for
them
to
be
placed
into
another
rental
space,
because
landlords
don't
want
a
current
eviction
stat.
You
know
that's
like
a
a
screening
tool
if
you've
had
an
eviction,
a
current
one,
they're,
not
gonna,
necessarily
bring
you
in.
So
that's
that's
kind
of
the
need
that
we're
seeing
here.
G
So
we
have
maximum
on
this
that
we
think
we
can
spend
by
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year,
and
then
we
can
readdress
it
with
a
new
budget.
If
we're
seeing
that
that
the
need
will
still
be
there
which
I
I'm
presuming
it
will,
because
it's
going
to
be
a
couple
years
before
everybody
can
get
this
worked
out
anyway,
we
put
200
000
of
the
serp
monies
away
from
serpent
into
this
program.
If
you
approve
it,
and
that
would
start
immediately.
G
A
Any
questions,
thank
you,
questions,
trustee,
Ford,
yeah,.
G
G
G
F
Thank
you
and
and
Deb
will
this
be
publicized,
or
do
you
expect
just
to
use
it
based
on
the
normal
application
for
trustee.
G
G
F
And
how
quickly
will
this
have
to
run
through
the
normal?
You
know
process?
How
quickly
will
could
these
funds
be
dispersed
because
you,
you
know
somebody
gets
a
five
day,
late
notice
right
and
then,
if
that
isn't,
if
the
rent
isn't
met,
then
you
know,
then
you
have
an
eviction
file,
then
they're
going
to
have
to
because
this
isn't
going
to
pay
attorney
fees
or
court
costs
us
and
then
they'll
have
to
pay
those.
If,
if
these
funds
aren't
dispersed
quickly
enough
These.
G
Funds
can
be
dispersed
as
the
same
as
we
use
for
the
general
assistance
emergency
assistance
program,
because
what
would
we
be
doing
just
like
we
did
with
serp?
Is
we
we
vet
them
through
general
assistance,
emergency
assistance,
which
is
the
general
assistance
fund?
If
they
do
not
qualify,
many
of
those
would
not
qualify
immediately.
We
would
put
them
right
into
this
program.
They
do,
however,
it's
up
to
the
applicant.
H
A
H
I
G
All
right
and
the
serp
program
was
under
that
Community
agency
funding.
So
it's
just
a
line
item
move.
We
have
the
line
item
designated
as
grants
one
so
we're
just
moving
it
in
the
same
category.
A
A
Yes,
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
request
to
approve
the
project
Services
agreement
with
Farnsworth
group
to
provide
Professional
Services
for
city
of
Bloomington,
Township
office,
building
renovations
and
pep.
G
Hey
so
we're
we're
ready
to
move
to
the
next
step
with
Township
in
terms
of
the
design
and
all
of
the
schematics
that
go
with
working
on
our
office
project
condition.
Report
assessment
that
we've
done
in
the
past
we've
added
some
build
out
on
the
interior
for
the
assessor's
office,
they've
been
working
from
an
open,
open
space
with
some
cubicles
and
so
we're
positioning
their
office
to
be
more.
G
You
know,
quiet,
office,
settings
and
and
moving
them
into
more
of
an
office
environment
going
forward,
and
this
is
the
time
to
do
that,
while
we're
already
working
on
the
project.
So,
on
the
township
side,
we
are
making
I
mean
the
general
assistant
side,
we're
making
the
lobby
a
little
smaller.
G
So
this
particular
Farnsworth
group,
Professional
Services
agreement
I,
wanted
to
just
make
note
that
it's
for
the
design
and
development
creation
of
construction
documents,
the
bid
assistance
and
permitting
assistance
and
construction
Administration.
G
B
A
A
Yes,
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
emotion
to
accept
an
amendment
for
the
proposed
fiscal
year.
Fy
23
budget,
as
requested
by
the
township
supervisor,
yep.
G
Okay,
the
amendment
changes
are
listed
on
your
memo.
G
You
may
note
the
increase
in
the
capital
fund
Reserve,
that
is,
we
received
a
cost
estimate.
Cost
summary
cost
opinion
summary
is
what
it's
called
from
Farnsworth
group.
This
is
not
ex.
It's
not
an
exact,
it's
just
an
estimate
so
in
positioning
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
in
our
office.
G
What
we
are
asking
for
is
to
move
and-
and
this
has
all
been
prepared-
remember
that
we
intentionally
accumulated
these
dollars
over
the
last
five
years,
so
that
we
can
move
into
this
maintenance
and
repair
of
the
building
to
bring
it
up
to
speed
to
utilize
the
space
that
we're
had
unusable.
G
So
this
additional
money,
so
the
total
amount
that
was
on
the
cost
estimate
was
like
one
million
317..
We
already
had
409
to
be
exact,
409
729
in
the
amount
in
the
line
item
for
capital
reserve
and
so
we're
increasing
that
by
nine
hundred
and
eight
thousand
one
hundred
and
seventy
nine,
because
that
is
designated
for
this
move.
I
mean
for
this
repairs
and
maintenance
and
bringing
our
office
up
to
Park.
G
G
G
It
also
shows
it
begins
to
show
you
that
the
I
know
what
was
addressed
in
the
past,
with
the
board
that
we
don't
want
to
go
over
a
reserve
of
2.5
times
the
amount
of
expenses
over
three
years.
Does
that
make
sense?
Anybody
have
any
questions
about
that.
So
there
is,
let
me
see
if
I
can
find
the
Illinois
Township
Code
accumulation
of
funds.
G
It's
60,
it's
in
your
packet
under
Financial
for
the
amended
budget
accumulation
of
funds,
60
ilcs
185-65
states
that
the
township
funds,
including,
but
not
limited
to
general
assistance
and
Cemetery
and
including
all
capital,
excluding
all
capital
funds,
shall
not
exceed
the
amount
equal
to
or
greater
than
2.5
times
the
annual
average
expenses
of
the
previous
three
years
three
fiscal
years.
G
G
So
when
you
go
to
the
amended
budget
results
for
fiscal
year,
2021-22
and
23.,
and
you
factor
in
the
2.5
times
the
amount
of
what
would
be
spent
we're
well
under
that
2.5,
our
number
would
be
3
million
55
000.
total,
so
we're
staying
within
our
2.5
percent.
So
I
respectfully
asked
the
board
to
approve.
B
I
G
B
E
B
E
G
G
E
Yep
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
second.
B
J
A
A
C
A
G
Do
want
to
say
to
one
more
thing
that
this
is
the
public
hearing,
for
this
will
be
in
November,
because
it
has
to
be
published
to
the
public
for
30
days.
A
Next
item
is
a
recommendation
to
approve
the
estimated
fiscal
year
2023
tax
levy
for
year
for
tax
year
2022,
as
requested
by
the
township
supervisor.
Again
he's.
G
G
G
What
we're
seeing
here
is
a
decrease
in
Township,
because
the
eav
is
increasing,
you'll,
see
a
decrease
in
the
rate
tax
rate
for
the
township.
That's
all
I
have
to
say
about
that.
I
K
K
G
I
L
L
The
assessments
are
being
published
in
the
pantograph
and
will
be
done
on
October
26th.
What
that
means
is
it's
going
to
start
a
30-day
window
or
Property
Owners
to
file
complaints
with
the
County
border
review
if
they
don't
agree
with
the
value
that
we
placed
on
their
property
included
in
the
packet
with
my
stuff?
Is
the
County
board
of
review
rules
a
complaint
form
for
which
a
taxpayer
would
file
through
the
Border
review?
L
L
for
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
I,
believe
it's
a
rural,
Township
I'm,
not
sure
which
one
at
the
same
time,
the
county
did
place
a
1.257
multiplier
on
the
whole
city
of
Bloomington,
which
increased
everything
that
we
sent
to
them
by
that
much.
So
if
the
reason
of
this
informational
meeting
is
just
to
pass
on
information
on
how
to
file
complaints,
also
you
guys
were.
He
asked
me
to
invite
all
of
the
trustees
if
they're
interested
to
join
that
meeting
at
Wednesday
at
5
30
in
this
room.
D
I,
so
just
to
be
clear,
the
additional
multiplier
that
they
put
all
across
the
board
had
your
assessed
value
taken
into
account
that
Delta
I'm
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
if,
if
this
action
by
the
McLean
County
Board
is
in
effect
kind
of
layering
on
our
our
population.
Here.
L
Now
there's
been
a
this
multiplier
is
consistent
with
multipliers
that
were
put
on
all
the
townships
in
McLean
County.
There's
there
wasn't
too
many
that
fell
under
are
at
one
or
a
negative
multiplier
at
all
this
year.
So
that's
that's
why
the
informational
meeting
is
being
provided
by
the
county
because
of
the
increase
eav.
That
was
a
done
at
the
county
level
towards
all
the
townships.
D
L
It
it
is
market-based,
they
have
the
same
ratio,
our
assessment
statistics
that
we
have.
We
did
ours
and
made
adjustments
by
neighborhood
at
the
the
lowest
level.
L
L
We
made
our
adjustments
to
get
everybody
kind
of
equalized,
and
the
county
didn't
see
us
getting
enough
value
to
equalize
to
the
numbers
that
they
were
seeing,
so
that,
in
order
to
do
that,
they
just
raised
the
whole
Township
at
the
same
multiplier,
instead
of
small
pockets
to
get
to
the
the
threshold
that
the
county
needs
in
order
to
meet
the
metrics
of
the
Department
of
Revenue.
D
And
this
is
all
rear,
looking
as
opposed
to
what
you're
already
seeing
now
in
terms
of
value
starting
to
decline,
and
so.

No

also
an
opportunity
for
the

maximize
the
impact
of

Each

three
minutes,
and
the
council
does
not
respond

engage
in
debate.
Any

will
be
deemed
out

He

at
ISU
that
went

last
year
on
August

and
I
reported
him
missing
to

Bloomington
Police
Department.
As
you
know,
I
have
not
had
very
much
help
from
your
police
department
and
so
mayor
I.
This
is
mainly
addressed
for
you,
because
I'm
seeking
your
assistance,
I've
been
asking
questions
of
the
Jelani
day.
Joint
Task
Force,
which
the
blooming
the
Bloomington
Police
Department,
is
a
part
of
and
to
no
avail.
M
Bloomington
Police
Department
has
not
returned
any
of
my
calls.
I've
ex
I
have
requested
to
speak
to
the
officers
that
have
been
handling
the
case
that
are
supposed
to
be
the
contact
person
on
the
Bloomington
from
the
Bloomington
Police
Department
that
play
a
role
in
jelani's
on
this
task
force,
and
none
of
them
have
called
me
back.
This
is
October
of
2022.
I
have
not
spoken
to
a
Bloomington
Police
Department
Officer,
since
February
of
2022.
M
I,
just
I
sent
an
email
to
the
Peru
police
department
and
asked
them
about
jelani's
car
I'm.
Not
if
you're
not
aware
jelani's
car
was
transported
from
the
Bloomington
Police
Department
to
the
Peru
Police
Department,
where
Peru
back
in
August
started
outside
and
when
I
saw
it.
I
had
questions
as
to
why
my
son's
car
was
stored
outside
and
for
the
reason
as
to
why
there
was
still
evidence
all
throughout
his
car
I.
M
This
is
the
question
that
I
posted
through
Police
Department
I
said:
can
you
explain
how
the
Peru
Police
Department
stated
that
you
did
not
have
room
to
store
jelani's
car
but
to
but
your
secure
area
what
wasn't
as
empty?
And
you
had
this
major
piece
of
evidence
outside
in
the
elements
for
three
weeks
during
our
phone
call
and
for
quite
I'm?
M
Sorry
for
quite
some
time
per
the
officers
who
were
present
on
8
17
22,
while
I
was
on
site,
visiting
jelani's
car,
her
response
and
when
I
referred
to
her
I'm,
referring
to
deputy
chief
police
officer
in
Sarah
Raymond
in
Peru,
she
says
his
car
was
moved
to
storage.
When
you
arrived,
the
car
was
no
longer
in
stores.
The
car
has
since
been
placed
back
in
the
garage
I
said.
Can
you
explain
why
the
only
items
that
were
chosen
selected
to
determine
the
identity
if
there
was
DNA
or
fingerprints
in
jelani's
car
were
chosen?
M
She
said
this
question.
You
will
need
to
ask
the
state
police
and
the
Bloomington
Police
the
Peru
police
did
not
process
the
vehicle.
When
I
went
on
to
ask
her
about
documenting
the
things
that
were
done
initially
with
Jelani,
she
again
referred
me
back
to
the
Bloomington
Police
again
I've
not
been
able
to
speak
to
anybody
from
the
Bloomington
Police.
They
don't
return.
My
phone
calls
I'm
asking
you
as
the
mayor
since
you're
over
the
police
department.
I
mean
I,
know
I'm
I'm
asking
you.
M
If
you
could
please
make
sure
that
they
contact
me
that
I
can
find
the
answers
to
know
why
the
jelani's
car
wasn't
processed
the
way
it
should
have
been
processed
that
everything
that
was
in
its
car
when
it
was
pulled
about
from
that
Hill.
That
night,
when
I
was
there
with
Detective
Paul
Jones
is
still
in
his
car.
To
this
day
nothing
was
processed.
When
they
tell
me
the
only
thing
that
they
found
in
there
was
jelani's
fingerprint
and
his
DNA
I
now
know
why?
M
Because
they
only
selected
a
choice,
items
to
get
to
determine
this
and
from
what
I
understand
you
do
that
when
you
don't
determine
that
there
is
Foul
Play
So
since
Bloomington
took
the
role
and
said
that
there
was
no
foul
play.
They
did
not
process
his
car
correctly
and
so
I
need
to
know
as
to
why
they
took
that
took
that
stance
and
from
the
beginning,
this
whole
investigation
has
been
messed
up.
There
is
not
foreign.
A
Are
up
did
not
mean
to
cut
you
off,
but
that's
the
those
are
the
rules,
so
I
mean
if
you're
you
know.
If
you
want
to
say
more
at
some
other
time,
you
should
feel
free,
okay,
okay,
thank
you.
This
day.
C
All
right
next
up,
we
have
in
person
speaking
Serena
fish.
I
N
N
Two
roles
tonight,
as
Vice
chairman
of
the
pscrb
board,
we
were
able,
at
our
last
meeting,
to
hear
an
update
and
future
plans
things
to
do
with
the
flock
cameras
and
what
they've
already
accomplished
some
things
they've
already
solved,
So
based
on
the
presentation,
I'm,
hoping
that
you
will
be
as
open
as
we
were,
not
a
lot
of
dollar
increase,
but
it
seems
to
really
be
working.
N
My
second
role,
West
Side,
neighbors,
Association
administrator,
another
empty
building
people
coming
into
Bloomington
the.
Why.
N
And
an
empty
building
at
wood
and
I.
Guess
it's
Center
Street!
So
at
this
point
now
we
have
no,
why
no
ym
what
no
y
w
on
the
west
side
of
town
everything
is
close.
Oh
well,
basically,
almost
on
Veterans
or
east
to
there
and
I
think
that's
very
unconscious
to
the
boys
and
girls
and
seniors
of
West
Side.
N
It's
who
use
the
Y
there
on
I,
don't
know
sure
it's
Oakland
and
Center
or
MacArthur
in
center
and
connect
Transit
put
out
well,
they
can
take
a
bus
out
to
the
new
one.
Well,
connect
Transit
just
recently
downgraded
how
many
times
a
day
their
buses
are
running
there
now
because
they
don't
have
drivers
they're
now
on
Sunday
schedules,
so
I'm
just
letting
you
put
that
out
there
in
my
two
roles.
C
Thank
you.
The
last
person
to
speak
is
Jakari
Harris,
who
is
online
and
will
speak
remotely
jakara.
If
you
could
please
press
star
6
to
unmute
yourself,
you
have
three
minutes.
O
Good
evening,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
great.
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Jakari
Harris
and
I'm.
Just
I
really
want
to
say
that
I
am
deeply
concerned
with
the
leadership
of
Bloomington
Illinois,
especially
with
the
leadership
of
the
police
department.
The
fact
that
a
citizen,
a
human,
a
student,
a
young
black
man,
went
missing
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
Illinois
last
year
and
to
date
no
one
has
been
held
accountable.
O
It's
truly
sickening
and
it
doesn't
take
much
to
look
on
the
news
or
on
the
Internet
to
see
how
many
people
have
questioned
the
leadership
of
Bloomington,
Police,
Department
or
the
leadership
of
the
city
I
believe
each
of
you
are
educated
in
your
respective
ways.
So
it's
not
rocket
science
for
you
to
understand
that
any
human
or
parent
will
want
to
will
want
to
know
exactly
what
happened
and
what
went
on,
especially
if
it
was
your
loved
ones.
O
So
for
each
of
you,
so
for
each
of
you
to
carry
on
with
your
life
day
to
day
as
if
nothing
is
going
on
or
if
you're
not
not
enforcing,
but
you
are
not
demanding
for
answers
and
demanding
that
the
police
department
is
being
being
held
accountable
and
doing
their
jobs
to
the
fullest
extent.
It's
it's
definitely
sad
to
to
know
that
you
are
representing
this
city,
especially
that
the
family
of
the
learning
day
is
grieving,
partly
because
of
the
lack
of
leadership
in
the
police.
O
Department
and
I
truly
take
issue
with
that,
because
I'm
a
26
year
old,
educated
black
man
with
three
degrees
and
one
of
my
degrees,
so
happens
to
be
in
Emergency
Management.
So
when
I
tell
you
that
I
know
the
ins
and
outs
of
the
police
department
and
what
they're
supposed
to
be
doing
what
they
have
not
done,
I
know
what
should
have
been
done.
I
know
what
they
have
not
done
and
they're
going
to
be
held
accountable,
and
you
all
ask
elected
officials.
O
O
Accordingly.
Please
do
your
job
please
show
up
and
please
ensure
that
you
are
holding
the
police
department
accountable.
So
we
can
get
answers,
because
if
this
is
your
son,
if
this
is
your
daughter,
if
this
is
what
was
your
brother,
your
sister,
you
would
want
answers.
I
I
know
without
a
doubt
that
you
would
want
answers.
O
So
please
ensure
that
you're
governing
yourselves
accordingly,
because
if
I
have
to
March
and
protest
and
ensure
that
people
know
in
Bloomington
that
you
are
not
doing
what
you're
supposed
to
do,
you
all
will
not
get
reelected
and
you
all
can
guarantee
that
for
me.
So
thank
you
all
I
hope
you
all
have
a
good
evening.
A
A
And
so
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
consent
agenda.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda
anywhere.
A
C
Really
quick
about
item
7u,
so
council
member
crabill
was
thoughtful
enough
to
point
out
a
scrivener's
error
that
we
found
in
the
ordinance
that's
attached
and
I
just
wanted
to
publicly
let
everyone
know
the
council
was
provided
an
updated
ordinance.
It
had
to
do
with
the
daycare
definition
and
it
was
truly
just
a
scrivener's
error,
but
it
was
cotton
corrected,
and
so,
if
you
will,
when
you
move
forward
with
consent,
agenda,
adopt
7u
as
amended.
Thank
you
and
sorry.
Councilmember
Waltz.
I
A
H
H
I'd
like
to
please
pull
7e
is.
A
A
That
was
a
beautiful
motion.
Thank
you
so
motioned
by
councilmember,
Bolin,
second
by
council
member
crabill,
and
if
you
could
please
vote.
A
I
J
I
I
just
look
at
this,
and
this
has
been
around
for
years
and
years
this
entire
thing
and
I.
Just
wonder
why
the
purpose?
What
what
really
truly
is
the
purpose
of
this
extension,
I've
I've,
asked
I've,
never
received
answers
in
the
past
about
there
at
the
far
East
Side
there
why
we
can't
put
a
stoplight
at
150
if
the
intersection
is
so
dangerous
and
it
just
seems
that
exploring
something
like
that
might
be
a
better
use
of
City
dollars
and
taxpayer
dollars
than
you
know.
J
Here,
we've
got
you
know
a
hundred
and
twenty
hundred
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
a
study,
another
study,
and
then
we
have
no
idea
what
this
is
going
to
cost.
Now
it's
probably
going
to
be
north
of
10
million
dollars
for
the
Hamilton
Road
Extension,
and
you
know
it's
it's
another
road
that
we
have
to
upkeep
it's
another
road
that
we
have
to
plow.
J
It
would
be,
you
know,
10
million
dollars
in
the
long
term
that
we're
taking
away
from
the
rest
of
our
roads,
where
we
know
the
conditions
of
the
rest
of
our
roads
and
I.
Just
don't
think
that
this
is
a
good
use
of
taxpayer
dollars
at
all.
So
thank
you.
E
Okay,
okay
with
the
Hamilton
Road
Extension,
yes,
you're,
correct,
it's
been
in
the
on
the
in
the
works
for
30
years.
Correct
me,
Mr
called
the
if
I'm
wrong,
and
basically
it
is
an
extension
that
was
planned
quite
a
few
years
ago
to
connect
the
southwest
side
of
the
city
to
the
State
Farm
area.
E
Rhodes
Road
is
basically
a
county
road
that
would
need
to
be
updated
or
upgraded
anyway.
There
are
no
curbs.
There's
dishes
on
both
sides.
I
had
the
unfortunate
experience
of
being
on
that
road
during
rush
hour
when
a
fire
truck
had
to
go
through.
So
it's
not
just
safety
at
the
intersection,
there's
actually
safety
issues
when
you're
on
the
road.
This
is
the
use
of
motor
fuel
tax
state
motor
fuel
tax.
That
has
been
building
an
account
being
built
in
a
reserved
sense
to
pay
for
this.
So
it's
not
local
tax.
E
Yes,
it's
true
we're
going
to
have
to
maintain
it
going
forward,
but
do
we
maintain
Rhodes,
Road?
Okay,
we
maintain
Rhodes
Road,
so
that
is
not
really
any
difference
and
a
new
Road.
What's
20
years,
hopefully
you
know
the
lifespan
so
I
would
like
to
make
make
a
motion
to
approve,
as
presented.
A
Sure-
and
you
know
one
one
thing
that
I
would
add:
councilmember
Walsh
is
that
this
of
course,
has
been
studied
for
for
a
very
long
time.
There
is
a
an
extensive
amount
of
background
information
on
it.
That
is
available.
The
you
know
Hamilton
this.
This
you
know,
Bond
of
Commerce
connection
is
going
to
help
us
be
able
to
connect
the
city
going
from
east
to
west,
because
right
now,
there's
not
a
very
easy
way
to
go
about
it.
So
you
have
to
kind
of
meander.
A
You
know
through
through
the
town
and
with
the
you
know,
having
rivienne
and
also
you
know
forever
in
the
community.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
make
traffic
a
little
bit
more
efficient,
but
I
know
we
do
have
a
council
member,
sorry,
not
counselor,
I,
just
promoted
you,
director
of
Public
Works
Kevin
Cosi
here,
but
I
I,
don't
know
if
the
PDC
manager
tires
wants
to
make
some
some
remarks
as
well.
Kevin.
P
If
you
could
come
to
the
podium,
we
appreciate
it
you're
absolutely
right
in
that.
A
large
reason
for
the
the
project
is
just
as
the
two
council
members
have
explained
it's
to
provide
a
a
better
connection
from
the
East
and
West
sides
of
our
community,
especially
as
you
look
at
some
of
the
growth
that's
happened.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
that
each
part
of
our
community
has
access
to
the
other
in
an
easy,
easy
way
easier
way
than
there
is
now
frankly,
and
it's
not
just
about
a
State
Farm.
P
Q
Yeah
and
thank
you-
we,
we
are
quite
far
along
with
engineering
and
right-of-way
Acquisitions,
we're
we're
down
to
finalizing
like
the
last
six
right
away.
Acquisitions
we
need
that's.
What
part
of
the
supplemental
resolution
is
for
is
for
the
right
of
way
and
then
also
some
additional
engineering
fees,
but
we
are
getting
very
close
where
you
know.
We
hope
to
get
this
thing
out
to
bid
next
year
and
once
we
get
all
the
right
away,
we
can
move
forward.
Q
The
plans
are
pretty
much
done
and
this
has
been
in
the
planning
stages
for
many
many
years
and,
as
you
know,
when
you
look
at
Hamilton
Road
from
east
to
west,
there's
everything's
there,
except
for
this
piece
and
then
of
course,
Fox
Creek
Road,
which
is
still
in
the
works,
but
that
that
completes
an
arterial
Road,
basically
across
the
south
side
of
Bloomington
connects
east
to
west,
and
we're
just
excited
that
we're
getting
this
close
to
getting
it
done.
So.
E
Yeah
I'd
like
to
make
one
more
comment
once
that
road
that
you
said
it's
East,
West,
okay,
there's
a
pretty
good
likelihood
that
there
might
be
some
commercials
about
in.
J
True,
okay
and
I
have
a
question
real
quick:
where
are
we
at
on
the
at
grade
railroad
crossing
on
this
effort.
Q
Yeah
we've
got
tentative
agreement
with
Norfolk
Southern
for
the
at
grade
crossing.
We
haven't
filed
the
ICC
petition
yet,
but
we're
finalizing
the
the
cost
of
the
easement
and
stuff
with
Norfolk
Southern,
so
we're
very
close
to
getting
all
that
put
together
to
take
it
to
the
ICC
and
get
the
ICC
order
for
it,
so
that
that's
all
that's
all
been
in
the
works
for
years
and
and,
like
I,
said
we're
very
close
now
with.
Q
Yeah
part
of
that
agreement
has
been
negotiating
with
the
railroad
for
citing
relocation
and
there's
also
Incorporated,
with
the
agreement
closing
of
of
two
Crossings
in
the
city
to
existing
crossings
that
that's
been
talked
about
before
it's
been
a
few
years.
But
one
of
the
is
a
Western
Avenue,
which
is
you
know,
a
a
low
volume,
Crossing
just
west
of
Morris
and
then
the
other
one
is
I
believe
it's
Roosevelt,
which
is
south
of
the
Coliseum.
Q
The
the
street
doesn't
go
through,
but
there's
parallel.
You
know
streets
just
a
block
away
to
get
across.
So
that's
been
talked
about
a
number
of
years
ago
that
as
part
of
that
agreement,
so.
J
Okay
and
as
for
Commerce
opportunities,
you
know
here
we
are
making
an
expansion
as
we
like
to
continue
to
talk
about.
You
know
downtown
downtown,
and
here
we
are
focusing
on
something
that's
away
from
downtown
once
again,
and
you
know
where
where's,
where
are
the
taxpayer
dollars
going
to
come
from?
J
R
F
Yeah
I
know
I
I
do
think
it's
good
to
you
know
every
time
this
comes
up
to
kind
of
revisit
the
history
keep
people's
minds
on
understanding
the
full
history,
because
there
has
been
a
history
there,
one
of
alderman
walch's
questions
that
wasn't
answered
is
if
this
would
take
away
from
other
work
and
I
had
the
same
question
and
the
answer
from
staff
today
was
staff
anticipates
probably
attractive
to
area
contractors
due
to
scope
and
size.
F
We
do
view
this
project
as
different
than
our
other
projects,
such
as
asphalt,
resurfacing
and
sidewalk
work.
The
Hamilton
Road
Project
will
likely
be
attractive
to
Major,
Earth,
moving
and
utility
installation
contractors.
Those
same
contractors
will
most
likely
sub
out
the
asphalt
paving
on
the
Hamilton
project
to
Paving.
Contractors
staff
doesn't
anticipate
the
asphalt
paving
for
this
project
to
negatively
impact
the
city's
other
projects.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
I
and
I
do
remember
Kevin
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
this
also
connect
Transit,
has
there's
a
connection.
You
know
with
connect
Transit
right
with
the
veterans
facility,
the
VA,
Clinic
and
I'm,
adding
a
a
stop
there
yeah.
Q
Connect
Transit
has
expressed
interest
potentially
in
future
access
right
now.
They
don't
have
a
route
that
runs
that
way,
but
they
don't
have
a
street
that
goes
through
either.
So
a
lot
of
you
will
remember
that
in
past
years
we
did
apply
for
federal
grants.
You
know
build
and
raise
and
so
forth,
and
they
were
very
supportive
of
our
Grant
application
and
that
it
connects.
You
know
potential
East-West
through
there
that
they
don't
have
right
now
that
opportunity.
K
Yes,
thank
you,
mayor
I,
just
want
to
say,
I
appreciate,
councilmember
Walsh's
concern,
you
know,
being
a
good
Steward
of
tax
dollars,
I
think
agreeing
with
council
member
Boland.
This
is
more
than
just
a
stoplight
fix.
K
I
think
this
is
what
20
30
years
in
the
works,
and
it's
something
that
this
community
really
needs
and
I
plan
to
support
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
Correct
me:
if
I'm
wrong,
this
is
State
motor
fuel
tax
I
mean
we
do
pay
motor
fuel
tax
to
the
state,
get
some
back,
and
my
understanding
is
that
State
motor
fuel
tax
is
primarily
used
for
Bridges
and
roads
like
this.
So
it's
not
the
low
local
motor
fuel
tax
that
is
used
for
Street
resurfacing.
That's.
Q
Correct-
and
we
also
have
the
surface
Transportation
Urban
money
in
this,
which
is
a
federal
allocation
so
that
that's
also
you
know
an
allocation
that
comes
to
the
mpo,
the
municipal
planning
organization,
which
is
McLean
County,
Regional,
Planning
Commission.
We
share
between
normal
and
County
and
Bloomington
dollars
that
come
in
that
way.
So
that's
also
besides
the
State
motor
fuel
tax,
we're
also
using
Stu
money.
They
call
it.
So.
Thank
you.
C
I,
could
sorry
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
councilmember
Bolin
did
you
was
your
motion
for
7M
and
in.
E
It
was
not
okay
would.
C
H
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
just
have
one
question
about
this,
not
specifically
about
this
item,
but
about
how
we
prioritize
purchase
of
playground,
equipment
and
if
I
could
get
some
clarification.
Is
there
a
list
is
there
is
something
along
the
lines
of
of
a
priority
list
and
how
that
works
and
and
how
one
gets
on
that
list.
It
would
be
helpful
to
me.
S
Well,
a
couple
different
ways
depends
on
what
type
of
playground
we're
purchasing
then,
just
in
September
I
attended
the
national
Recreation
Parts
Association
conference
in
Phoenix,
where
I
met
with
all
the
vendors.
They
actually
installed,
350
000
playgrounds
in
a
conference,
and
you
can
play
on
them
if
you're
in
the
that's,
where
you
meet
the
people
in
person
and
then
obviously
we
look
through
our
contractors
that
we
can
use
for
internally,
like
the
Omnia
Partners
contract
that
we
have
for
tonight
or
sourcewell.
S
But
then
we
go
back
to
this
example
for
this
evening,
which
you're
not
exactly
citing,
but
you
you're
mentioning
is
this
park
was
a
donated
playground
that
is
open
space,
so
we
have
a
clean
slate
and
so
for
this
playground
we're
trying
to
get
the
most
that
we
can
out
of
the
ages
from
three
to
twelve.
But
when
we
look
at
other
options
in
in
different
orders,
we're
either
replacing
playgrounds
or
we
are
trying
to
add
different
amenities.
So.
H
How
somebody
gets
in
line
for
their
playground
to
be
to
be
worked
on,
and
is
there
a
priority
list,
I'm
thinking
in
terms
of
the
way
we
have
the
the
algorithms
for
Street
repair,
for
example,
where
it's
not
just
that
you
know
I
call,
call
up
and
say:
well,
I
want
my
street
repaired.
H
H
S
The
better
answer
for
that
is,
Bobby
maze,
who's,
our
superintendent
of
parks.
He
and
his
team
go
out
and
evaluate
all
the
parks
in
addition
to
that,
the
ASTM
standards
that
come
with
the
park
playground
equipment
where
they
buy.
It
has
a
life
expectancy,
so
the
list
includes
variables
that
are
with
life
expectancy,
the
rate
of
deterioration
that
is
in
a
certain
area
of
town
and
then
also
if
we
get
complaints
and
also
if
we
were
to
get
needs
from
your
area
and
your
award
that
are
ahead
of
that
timetable.
S
F
I
tried
to
jump
in
there,
but-
and
you
may
have
answered
this
question
today,
but
I
thought
you
know.
Since
this
is
an
open
item
with
regard
to
we,
we
do
try
to
make
all
our
Parks
accessible
right
and
including
Sweeney,
Park
and
and
if
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
and
how
the
how
what
we're
doing
say
at
Sweeney
Park
is
different
than
what
what
happened
at
Rolling
Brook.
S
Okay,
well,
I
have
the
answer
to
your
question
right
here.
The
difference
between
this
one
and
Rolling
Brook,
though,
is
Rolling
Brook.
Wasn't
the
park
I
believe
you're
referencing
is
harmony
Park
in
Rolling,
Brook
Park.
It
is
an
inclusive
playground
which
all
of
the
equipment
in
there
is
designed
to
be
inclusive
for
persons
with
special
needs.
S
This
park
is
has
components
of
that
in
it,
but
it
is
not
necessarily
designed
to
be
an
inclusive
playground
in
this
area
in
particular,
which
we've
sought
out
grants
before,
which
was
an
Oslo
grant
that
we
didn't
get.
We
would
have
had
some
other
components
in
this
one.
We're
using
the
game.
Time
cares
Grant
and
that
will
allow
us
to
put
up
a
playground
that
serves
age
three
to
twelve,
but
the
highest
need
in
that
area
and
I'm
sure
Sheila
can
assist
me
with
this.
S
Is
we
have
high
density
residential
area
that
is
underserved
kind
of
behind
the
Avantis
and
going
over
to
Pamela
drive,
so
this
park
itself
is
a
neighborhood
park.
It
won't
have
parking,
so
it
has
to
be
within
walkability
of
distance,
and
we
believe
that
what
we're
putting
in
with
this
playground
meets
the
criteria
for
those
needs
and
includes
inclusivity.
D
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
the
park
district
for
their
work
in
this
area.
Precinct
51
is
a
very
high
density
Precinct,
with
a
high
population
of
immigrants,
children
who
are
currently
playing
in
the
streets.
They
don't
have
any
park
access
by
Sidewalk
to
their
neighborhoods,
and
this
has
been
on
the
books
for
a
while.
2019
was
the
time
that
a
neighborhood
information
section
session
was
held
with
these
folks
and
I'm.
D
A
Thank
you,
councilmember,
Monday
and
I
should
add,
because
I
was
there
when
the
some
of
the
conversation
started,
that
this
the
land
was
donated
by
The
Sweeney
family
of
which
the
one
of
the
members
used
to
work
at
the
library
actually
at
the
Bloomington
Public
Library.
So
it
was
just
a
it
just
it
felt
really
good
I
mean
it
was
great
to
have
that
to
have
this
opportunity,
so
it
was
fantastic,
very
happy
for
everyone
involved.
A
A
Starting
with
item
8A,
a
consideration,
an
action
to
approve
the
early
termination
of
the
existing
agreement,
with
accent,
axon,
excellent
Exxon
Enterprises,
and
the
approval
of
a
new
five-year
fixed
annual
cost
agreement
with
excellent
Enterprises
as
a
limited
source,
as
requested
by
the
police
department
and
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Deputy
city
manager.
Ties
for
introductory
comments.
Thank.
P
You
mayor
appreciate
it:
axon
provides
body
cameras
and
tasers
under
a
separate
agreement
to
our
police
department
and
they
provide
a
host
of
other
services.
If
you've
ever
seen,
TV
shows
where
they're,
showing
police
body
cameras
video.
You
probably
have
seen
the
name
of
the
company.
Well,
they
provide
us
with
with
that
equipment,
we're
operating
under
two
separate
agreements,
currently
one
for
some
of
the
the
body,
cameras
and
other
Associated
services
and
then
one
for
tasers,
which
actually
expired
at
the
end
of
September.
P
The
item
before
you
would
terminate
the
existing
agreement
for
the
body
cameras
and
the
associated
equipment
early,
and
we
would
enter
into
an
agreement
that
provides
more
necessary
and
critical
equipment
in
our
opinion,
for
the
police
department
to
be
able
to
do
the
work
that
they
do
each
and
every
day
for
the
last
several
months,
assistant
chief
Kenny
Bays
has
been
working
with
the
company
to
come
up
with
the
agreement
that
is
before
you
and
he'll.
He
and
chief
Jamal
Simington,
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about.
T
Thank
you,
deputies,
Deputy
city
manager,
good
evening
city,
council
mayor,
and
we
certainly
thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
T
It
is
imperative
that
we
continue
to
push
the
police
department
forward
with
our
technology,
this
piece
of
technology
and
the
entire
contract
targets
five
of
the
sixth
century
21st
century
policing,
initiative
pillars,
which
is
the
foundation
of
our
strategic
plan
for
the
next
three
years,
that
it
will
touch
on
building
trust
and
transparency,
policy
and
oversight,
technology
and
Innovation
crime
reduction
and
professionalism.
I'll
turn
this
over
to
assistant
chief
Kenny
Bays
for
further.
U
Thank
you,
Council
mayor
assistant
city
manager,
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
go
over
some
of
the
systems
that
assistance,
City,
managaius,
referenced,
axon
provides
body,
worn
cameras.
They
provide
in-car
camera
systems,
which
we
also
have
they,
as
you
will
see
they
will.
They
provide
interview
systems
which
this
new
contract
is
an
upgrade
to
include,
be
inclusive
of
those
and
then
evidence.com
and
a
lot
of
the
magic
takes
place
in
evidence.com
and
the
integration
stitch
in
time
saves
nine.
U
There's
several
stitches
alongs
the
way
you
know,
and
we
realize
those
Time
Savings
as
we
go.
There's
a
prosecutor's
module
which
allows
us
a
seamless,
almost
instantaneous,
transfer
of
digital
exhibits
with
the
prosecutor's
office
and
an
ability
to
track
receipt
of
those
and
access.
U
So
the
officers
don't
have
to
revisit
and
when
you
consider
I
think
we're
on
target
for
65
000
calls,
and
some
of
those
calls
could
involve
every
single
officer
on
shift
and
then
some.
So
that's
a
number
of
videos
that
we
would
be
going
back
and
manually
updating
if
we
didn't
have
the
auto
tagging
feature
common,
combining
the
contracts
as
City
assistant
city
manager
ties
reference.
The
tasers
actually
expired
as
far
as
the
warranty
on
them.
U
At
the
end
of
this
last
September,
then
the
concern
is
raised
about
being
able
to
rely
on
it
to
be
effective
and
not
require
an
escalation
of
force
due
to
their
failure
in
the
field.
So
it's
it's
very
important
to
us
that
we
have
the
current
technology
and
reliable
products
in
the
hands
of
our
officers
out
there.
U
Cost
incentives
were
realizing
a
significant
number
of
constances
and
excuse
me,
incentives
in
addition
to
possibly
shielding
us
from
the
inflation
we've
seen
over
the
last
recent
months
last
year,
or
so
much
the
same
as
the
four-year
contract
that
we're
at
the
five-year
contract
that
we
completed
four
years
old
with
body
cams
also
offered
us
some
sort
of
protections
from
those
over
time
and
another
addition
that
we
will
be
getting
with
this
new
contract
that
we
don't
currently
have
is
the
unlimited
third
party
data
that
answers
a
host
of
problems
and
challenges
that
we
encounter
on
a
daily
basis
when
we're
trying
to
manage
and
store
all
of
this
digital
evidence,
we'll
just
be
able
to
put
it
in
the
cloud
with
criminal
justice,
information,
security,
compliance
server
and
redundancies
built
in
with
the
company,
and
we
won't
spend
a
lot
of
time
here,
locally,
trying
to
recover
data
that
may
have
been
lost,
corrupted
or
otherwise
the
increases
we
will
see
from
our
original
contract.
U
Now,
as
we've
been
successful
in
getting
officers
to
come
on
board,
we're
going
to
be
up
to
128
body,
worn
cameras,
128
taser
systems,
eight
interview
room
systems,
which
is
in
addition
to
replacing
a
our
current
in
in-house
recording
system
for
interviews
that
I'm
actually
fighting
with
recovering
a
video
now
it's
there,
it
just
doesn't
want
to.
Let
me
pull
it
off
the
system
yet,
but
that
will
take
care
of
that
and
automatically
up
those
into
active
caseloads.
U
So
with
all
that,
I
appreciate
your
consideration
and
I
just
know
that
we've
been
very
happy
with
the
service
that
we've
had
again
for
five
years,
because
the
first
year
we
had
it
for
free
as
a
trial
period,
we
actually
had
almost
an
entire
year
of
full
deployment
trial
testing
with
this
company
before
we
decided
to
go
with
them
after
having
tried
another
vendor.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
B
U
Like
to
I
did
I
forgot
this,
so
our
current
annual
cost
for
tasers
bodyworm
cameras
and
squad
cars
is
is
I'm.
Sorry,
yeah
annual
cost
is
239.
With
this
new
contract
and
the
added
features
I
referenced.
That's
the
increase
that
we
will
realize,
keeping
in
mind
we're
adding
the
number
of
body
worn
cameras
and
we're
we're
adding
tasers
to
the
contract,
but
the
numbers
should
should
come
out.
True
to
you,
the
five-year
difference
is
the
727
000.
U
A
V
I'll
make
a
quick
comment:
if
you
don't
mind:
okay,
in
in
my
past
work,
life
I've
had
a
lot
of
experience,
researching
digital
evidence,
management
and
I
just
want
to
say
and
I.
Don't
know.
I've
said
this
to
you
before,
but
you
guys
are
more
on
top
of
it
than
any
organization
that
I
worked
with
or
that
I
was
researching.
V
The
the
technologies
that
you're
looking
at
are
the
ones
that
everyone
else
is
using
and
I
I
think
you're
doing
a
better
job
of
presenting
it,
knowing
what's
going
on
and
managing
it.
So
I'm
fully
in
support
of
this
obviously
so
great
job.
T
Well,
we
are
targeting
the
offenders
and
there's.
K
T
Offender
piece
that
allows
us
to
take
a
diligent
case
before
a
prosecutor
and
when
prosecutors
prosecute
cases
generally,
it
leads
to
a
layer
of
deterrence
accountability
for
for
that
person
who
may
be
involved
in
in
criminal
behavior
and
then,
additionally,
the
the
body
camera
when,
when
it's
live
and
recording
again,
it
deters
bad
conduct
and
it
allows
the
officer
to
to
have
that
layer
of
of
reference
memorialized
on
the
body
cam,
which
leads
to
better
Behavior.
As
we
carry
out
our
mission
from
day
to
day.
F
U
I'm,
if
I
understand
your
question
so
axon
has
a
technology
called
signal.
The
current
ab3s,
which
I'm
currently
wearing
as
well
as
the
chief,
have
the
ability
for
shot
detection,
which
is
different
than
a
taser.
It's
more
designed
to
detect
the
discharge
of
the
officer's
firearm
within
within
six
feet.
Now
they
do
make
devices
that
can
be
attached
to
our
firearm
holster
to
activate
our
camera
when
it's
drawn
that
that
actually
would
be
inclusive
of
this
and
our
tasers
when
we
power
them
on,
they
activate
the
body,
worn
cameras.
U
F
F
I
may
not
have
asked
the
question:
well,
maybe
I
missed
it
I'm,
sorry,
but
see
so.
An
officer
has
a
gun
on
his
holster,
as
well
as
a
taser,
correct
and
and
the
Heat
of
the
Moment.
What
makes
him
they
want
to
pull
the
the
taser
versus
the
gun.
How
do
they
mate?
Is
there
something
that
helps
them?
Tell
the
difference.
U
There
there
is
not,
but
best
practices
is
to
have
a
cross
draw,
or
we
can
draw
of
the
taser
and
in
our
in
our
con
in
our
training,
for
the
taser.
That
is
a
one
of
the
components
is
to
assure
that
that
crosstraw
component
is
in
there.
If
you
look
at
most
all
of
our
officers,
it'll
be
either
in
a
cross,
draw
or
a
weak
side
opposite
their
firearm.
That's
the
best
practices
for
now.
F
Okay
and
thank
you
and
then
on
page
567,
it
was
like
delivery
of
items
that
mentions
Fleet.
Three
alpr
license:
One
camera
quantity
37..
Could
you
explain
what
that
is.
U
So
the
fleet
3
system
has
the
ability
to
have
a
alpr,
but
we
don't
have
to
activate
it
and
those
actually
would
not
be
delivered
for
approximately
13
months
from
the
from
the
go
live
on
the
contract
of
January
1..
It's
a
it's
an
optional
feature
that
comes
with
that
system,
already
integrated
into
the
aopr.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Yes,.
H
Yes,
thanks
for
this
presentation
and
I
particularly
appreciate
the
clarification
about
the
from
our
earlier
conversation
about
the
annual
budget
difference
I
I
see
the
you
know
that
this
is
gonna
cost
some
money
I
see
this
as
an
investment
in
transparency
and
accountability,
and
and
for
me,
that's
worthwhile
and
every
year
when
we
have
budget
talks,
the
question
always
comes
up.
H
You
know,
why
is
it
that
that
our
budget
goes
up
every
year
as
a
as
a
city
council,
and
why
is
our
budget
so
high
and
I
simply
want
to
to
draw
attention
that
this
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
that
the
budget
goes
up
because
we
do
invest
in
accountability
and
transparency
and
that's
seems
like
a
worthy
expenditure
of
City
funds,
but
it
also
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
budgets
increased
from
year
to
year.
That
makes
sense
to
me,
but
thank
you
for
giving
us
that
information.
E
Yeah
I,
just
I,
appreciate
the
presentation
and
everything
you're
doing
I
know
there's
mandates
coming
down
from
the
state
and
what
I
really
appreciate
is
your
financial
management
of
of
what
you're
doing
here
kind
of
getting
ahead
of
the
game
as
far
as
keeping
the
costs
down.
So
thank
you
very
much.
K
Thank
you
mayor.
Yes,
thanks
again
for
the
presentation,
I
I,
don't
have
council
member
Becker's
expertise
in
technology,
but
but
I
just
wanted
to
say,
I
really
appreciate.
You
know
the
Bloomington
Police
Department
really
moving
forward
to
bring
new
technology
and,
as
I
said
in
my
another
discussion,
things
like
act
on
citizen.
Those
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
seem
to
me
to
increase
accountability
and
allow
your
officers
to
do
a
job.
That's
really
difficult
and
really
important.
Thank
you.
R
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
can't
say
enough
and
I
say
it
often
how
proud
I
am
of
our
of
your
of
the
officers
and
and
for
these
things
that
you
bring
forward
like
this.
The
way
that
you
are
changing
the
way
community
policing
works
is
phenomenal.
I,
look
forward
to
seeing
your
beautiful
pictures
on
the
front
of
Time
magazine
in.
R
A
Thank
you
and
I
I
would
add
to
that.
You
know:
councilmember
Urban
talked
about
community
policing,
so
I
think
it.
You
know
we
have
all
noted
a
lot
of
the
efforts.
You
know
we
see
you
out
and
about
and
in
the
community,
quite
a
bit
so
I
think
the
department
you
know
moving
forward
and
doing
positive
things
is
not
just
about
the
technology.
You
know
it's
about
the
many
other
things
that
you're
doing
and
and
a
lot
of
people
have
noticed,
and
they
mentioned
that
to
me
in
the
community.
A
We
saw
them
at
an
event.
You
know,
and
the
interactions
are
are
very
Pleasant.
You
know
with
a
lot
of
the
the
police
officers.
The
other
thing
that
I
would
add
is
that
I,
you
know
way
back
when
you
know
because
I
I
was
on
Council.
We
were
talking
about
body
cameras,
but
that
was
before
the
safety
act
legislation.
So
we
were
ahead
of
the
game
when
it
comes
to
that
and
I
think
this
is
also
another
example
of
how
we're
getting
ahead
of
the
game.
A
The
item
passes,
there
are
no
names
to
announce
and
we're
going
to
move
on
to
item
eight
B
A
consideration
an
action
to
approve
as
a
limited
source
to
Tyler
Muniz
upgrade
and
software
as
a
service
agreement
and
SAS
migration,
payment
with
Tyler
Technologies
for
various
munis
modules
of
the
Cities
enterprise,
resource
planning
system,
Cloud,
hosted
systems
and
storage
data,
migration
and
project
management
in
the
amount
of
371
460
3
dollars,
as
requested
by
the
information
technology
department
today,
is
like
a
technology
day.
Are
you
excited
councilman
Becker.
P
Thank
you,
mayor,
I'm,
going
to
leave
the
details
of
this
to
IIT
director
Craig
Macbeth,
but
really
quickly.
Tyler
Muniz
is
it's
the
background
and
it's
the
support
system
for
almost
everything
that
we
do
in
this
organization.
Everything
from
billing
and
payments
to
HR
functions
to
Personnel
functions.
You
name
it
Tyler
Muniz
has
is,
is
supporting
it
and
backing
it
up
and
it's
it's
based
on
that
system.
P
Craig
has
been
working
on
the
details
of
the
recommended
upgrade
for
tonight
and
also
migration
of
our
existing
systems
to
a
cloud
base
which
is
going
to
allow
us
to
do
some
really
special
things
with
his
staff
as
well.
Again,
it's
not
exciting.
It's
not
well.
Maybe
you
or
it's
not
sexy,
but
it's
critical
to
what
we
do
every
day
and
so
Craig.
V
Thank
you,
Deputy
city
manager,
tyus,
and
thank
you
mayor
and
Council
for
this
opportunity.
Us
in
the
iot
department
and
several
departments
throughout
the
city
have
been
working
on
this
for
some
time.
So
so
we
are
excited
about
this.
To
finally
get
this
to
you
for
your
approval,
as
as
WC
manager
Tice
mentioned,
this
is
core
functionality
for
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
I,
won't
repeat
everything
that
he
said,
but
every
department
is
impacted
by
the
Tyler
munis
system.
V
So
the
first
question
you
know:
why
do
we
need
to
upgrade
so
Phil
if
you
want
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
the
Beyond,
just
the
simple
definition
of
why
we
need
to
upgrade
and
stay
current.
Several
security
enhancements.
You
know,
come
with
continual
upgrades.
V
We
are
currently
on
a
version-
that's
several
years
old,
because
we've
had
to
delay
the
upgrade
due
to
coven
pandemic
and
focus
needed
to
be
on
keeping
lights
on
in
in
business
operational
in
that
aspect,
so
we're
kind
of
going
back
to
to
try
and
get
our
systems
up
to
date
and
and
current
as
possible.
What
we've
also
heard
from
this
vendor
is
that
all
future
releases
for
this
will
only
be
available
in
in
the
SAS
model
or
the
cloud-based
model,
while
they
will
provide
Point
releases
and
things
like
that.
V
For
this
current
version
all
future
releases,
all
future
enhancements
will
only
be
available
in
the
SAS
model,
also
currently
we're
all
on
premise
for
for
this
environment.
So
it's
comprised
of
several
servers
and
a
lot
of
storage.
V
This
will
free
up
all
that
storage,
computing
power,
resources,
backup
and
maintenance
from
City
staff
and
that'll
that'll
go
to
the
Tyler
Services
model,
the
biggest
thing,
or
one
of
the
biggest
things
is
that
this
is
going
to
allow
a
shift
in
it,
resources
from
performing
all
those
tasks
to
maintaining
the
systems
and
upgrades
to
truly
focus
on
improving
business
processes
within
the
immune
system.
So
we
can
get
full
efficiency
out
of
that
system.
V
Several
benefits
you've
kind
of
heard,
some
of
them
already
from
our
Police
Department
of
going
to
a
cloud
model.
A
couple
highlighted
big
benefits
for
us
for
the
city
of
Bloomington
is
disaster.
Recovery
The
Disaster,
Recovery
Services
that
come
in
the
SAS
model
is
much
greater
than
we
have
today
on-prem.
It
allows
us
the
stability
to
back
up
and
restore
systems
and
test
those
very
efficiently.
It
also
provides
another
layer
for
ransomware
protection
with
immutable
backups
and
a
couple
other
mechanisms
there.
The
other
big
benefit
for
the
the
SAS
model
is
a
subscription-based
license.
V
So
for
those
of
you
that
are
aware
and
and
have
been
around
for
some
time
like
I,
have
the
Tyler
model
is
currently
a
Perpetual
license,
so
we
bought
the
license
and
we
pay
maintenance
every
year
for
those
licenses.
V
In
doing
so,
we've
we've
bought
several
models.
Modules
of
Licensing
and
you
know,
have
gradually
implemented
those
over
the
years.
So
there's
An
Occurrence,
where
sometimes
we'll
be
paying
for
things.
We
don't
necessarily
fully
utilize.
Yet
so
by
going
to
a
subscription-based
model,
we're
going
to
truly
pay
for
what
we
use
next
slide
film
so
quickly.
The
decision
making
process
we've
reached
out
to
multiple
clients
that
currently
use
Tyler
munis,
both
on-prem
and
on
the
SAS
Cloud
Model.
We
got
their
feedback.
V
We
interviewed
very
various
local
municipalities
about
their
experience
and
things
that
they
have
learned
things
that
we
should
to
take
their
experience
with
and
and
make
improvements
on
our
end,
we
reviewed
those
feedbacks
and
findings
with
the
Bloomington
technology
commission.
We
had
two
readings
basically
for
that,
one
on
January
25th
and
the
other
one
on
February
22nd
answered
several
questions
with
them
and
have
technology
commission
support
for
this
move
and
with
that
I
got
that
three
slides
there.
So
any
questions
you
have
I'd
be
happy
to
take.
A
F
You
so
when
you
talk
about
the
ability
to
to
focus
on
business
process
improvements,
can
you
give
an
example.
V
Yeah,
so
one
of
the
things
that
that
we
have
done
with
our
tallest
Tyler
Mina
system
is
it's
very
specific
customization
or
implementation
for
each
department,
whether
it's
financials
or
APS,
or
accounts,
receivable
or
general
billing
permitting
inspections,
Utility
Billing.
Those
are
very
specific
to
meet
our
needs
and
while
we've
gone
through
that
implementation
back
in
2009
for
several
of
those
modules,
a
lot
of
those
modules
have
been
upgraded
over
the
years.
V
So
we
haven't
really
had
a
chance
to
truly
understand
if
there
was
additional
benefits
or
additional
features
that
we
may
have
that
we
truly
don't
understand
yet
and
also
to
work
with
those
departments
to
understand
if
their
business
processes
have
changed
at
all
from
the
original
implementation.
And
how
can
we
make
things
better
to
to
truly
evaluate
that
and
understand
that.
F
Thank
you
and,
and
then
how
do
we
make
sure
that
Tyler
is
taking
the
steps
to
prevent
and
address
any
data
breaches.
V
Good
question
great
question:
actually,
as
going
to
a
cloud
model
that
is
certainly
a
risk,
is
you
lose
some
of
that
control?
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
put
in
place
with
them
is
a
process
where
which
we
can
get
copies
of
our
data
back
routinely.
So
that
way
we
can
maintain
our
critical
data.
So
in
the
instance
that
that
does
occur,
that
we
will
have
the
ability
to
still
function
and
do
business
but
to
directly
answer
your
question
about
you
know
the
monitoring
or
oversight.
V
We
have
just
basic
audit
reports
and
and
certification
reports
from
them
that
show
that
they're
Meeting
those
those
certain
security
requirements
and.
F
I'll
note
that,
as
part
of
the
agreement
that
that
you
can
ask
for
an
additional
security
audit
and
then
and
you
can
also
request,
for
instance,
a
client-specific
disaster
recovery
test
or
those
things
that
you're
looking
to
do
absolutely.
V
Yeah
I
mean
that's,
that's
one
of
the
the
benefits
I'm
really
hoping
to
gain
and
and
and
leverage
quite
extensively,
because
while
we
do
have
backups
and
we
maintain
those
backups
for
our
current
system,
we
don't
have
a
good
way
to
test
those
very
effectively
so
being
in
a
cloud-based
model.
You
know
we're
going
to
be
a
much
more
better
position
to
to
test
those
and
leverage
those
Audits
and
great.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
this
presentation.
A
couple
things
I
want
to
I
want
to
ask
about
the
the
Dr
exercise
and
in
the
contract
here
where
it
says
that
you
can.
We
can
request
an
additional
Dr
exercise
outside
their
normal,
where
they
would
do
their
entire
data
center
I'm.
Assuming
if
we
were
to
request
a
one-off
type
of
thing,
there
would
be
additional
charges.
J
E
A
So
we're
gonna
move
on
to
item
8C,
a
consideration
and
action
to
approve
a
resolution
waving
the
formal
bidding
requirements
and
approving
the
necessary
agreements
with
opengov
ink
to
provide
a
Citizen
Services
platform
for
the
economic
and
Community
Development
Department,
as
requested
by
the
I.T
and
economic
and
Community
Development
departments
and
Deputy
seed
manager.
Tyus.
This.
P
Is
really
exciting?
Okay,
so
really
it
actually
is,
and
what
this
does
is
it
becomes
a
it's
a
platform
that
becomes
a
24
7
door
to
our
economic
and
Community
Development
Department,
where
residents
and
contractors
and
developers
can
interact
with
the
department
at
any
time
through
the
through
this
platform.
Folks,
looking
for
to
obtain
permits
and
Licensing
or
who
need
an
inspection
or
there's
a
Code
Enforcement
component
people
who
want
to
make
payments
for
permits,
etc,
etc.
They
can
do
it
on
their
own
time,
which
we
we
are
really
really
excited
about.
P
It's
you
know
it's
got
parts
of
it
that
will
allow
applicants
to
request
inspection
dates
online,
so
things
like
that.
It's
things
where
currently,
where
you're
looking
to
have
someone
come
out
and
look
at,
do
a
site
inspection
for
you
there's
a
component
that
allows
you
to
do
things
like
upload
photos
on
a
tablet,
so
there
can
be
real
time
back
and
forth
conversations
with
with
our
staff
so
that
it
saves
time
and
money
for
both
staff,
but
also
for
a
developer
or
a
contractor.
So
what
we've
heard?
P
Obviously,
we
don't
have
this
system
yet
because
you're
considering
it
tonight,
but
what
we've
heard
is
that
the
permit
application
process
happens
up
to
five
times
faster
than
it
does.
With
your
traditional
manual
system.
We've
also
had
some
communities
who
have
reported
an
80
decrease
in
foot
traffic
for
permitting
as
well.
P
So
it's
one
of
those
things
that
we
are
expecting
will
make
us
more
efficient
will
allow
us
to
work
better
faster
together
internally,
but
also
for
the
for
the
community,
who
is
out
there
doing
development
and
the
contractors
are
out
there
who
need
these
things
done.
It'll
allow
them
to
do
that
more
efficiently
and
on
their
own
time
and
for
residents
as
well,
who
perhaps
need
a
permit
to
put
on
a
deck
or
do
other
things
it
allows
them
to
do
that
more
rapidly
and
more
efficiently.
So
Craig
back
to
you
thank.
V
You
Deputy
Cyrus,
you
really
covered
the
whole
slide
that
I
had
so
great
job
there
Phil,
if
you
want
to
just,
go
to
the
next
slide.
So
this
is
another
exciting
project
like
Billy
mentioned,
you
know,
while
munis
is
kind
of
the
back
end
side
of
the
house,
this
is
the
public
facing
side.
V
This
is
this
is
how
we
make
it
easier
to
do
business
with
the
city
of
Bloomington,
The,
Economic,
Development,
Department,
Melissa
Hahn,
and
it
had
been
working
on
this
all
this
year
to
evaluate
several
solutions
to
find
out
what
is
going
to
streamline
and
automate
the
processes
that
Billy
outlined.
This
will
provide
us
that
enhanced
customer
service
portal
that
anybody
can
go
to
24
7,
to
be
able
to
permit
pull
a
permit
or
seek
an
inspection
or
just
even
communicate
effectively
with
the
city
Bloomington
customers.
V
They
can
drafts
a
bit
pay
for
applications
online,
which
is
another
piece
that
we
do
do
not
have
today.
Is
the
online
payment
portion?
Customers
will
be
able
to
make
and
track
and
communicate
with
City
staff
like
I
just
mentioned
the
the
big
benefit
with
the
system.
It's
it's
proven
to
be
very
flexible
in
in
designing
workflows
that
can
meet
multiple
other
needs
within
the
ecd
department
and
even
across
other
departments.
V
So
we're
really
excited
to
kind
of
get
into
that
space
and
again
make
it
easier
for
citizens
to
do
business
with
us.
Opengov
is
another
cloud-based
solution.
Many
of
the
similar
benefits
that
we
just
spoke
of
with
Tyler
munis,
but
they're
going
to
be
able
to
maintain
and
update
that
system
and
software
and
provide
the
security
fixes
for
us.
V
V
Several
of
those,
including
Decatur
Bowling,
Brook
Deerfield
Bartlett,
are
just
a
few
in
the
area,
so
there
is
a
growing
user
base
with
the
solution.
We
also
currently
have
a
partnership
with
opengov
with
our
procure
now
software,
so
we
already
have
an
existing
relationship
they
their
procure.
Now
software
has
been
very
positively
received,
with
City
staff
for
both
functionality
and
support
and
again
I
can't
highly
recommend
enough
working
with
opengov
on
this
endeavor.
A
Okay
awesome:
when
Deputy
city
manager,
Tire
said
you
know,
people
can
submit
things.
24,
7.
I
looked
at
the
ecd
staff
back
there
like
they
seem
kind
of
worried.
No
I
know
you
guys
can
manage.
V
No
not
directly
so
the
the
my
Bloomington
app
is
more
of
a
citizen
request
system,
so
we're
looking
and
seeking
for
certain
information
about
a
request
or
request
type
I
think
there
is
a
module
of
the
citizen
service
platform
that
will
be
available
to
us.
That
could
do
some
of
that,
but
that
is
not
the
primary
use
case
for
this
right
now.
V
Certainly
as
we
we
expand,
you
know
the
capabilities
of
the
citizen
service
platform
and
open
it
up
to
additional
permits
and
inspections
and
business
licenses
processes.
Then
we
can
begin
to
look
at
certainly
the
the
my
Bloomington
aspect
and
if
there
is
duplication,
you
know
what
is
the
best
software
to
do
that.
E
K
E
Thank
you.
I
would
like
to
make
a
comment
about
this
over
the
years
and
I'm
sure
Melissa
is
well
aware,
developers
and
Realtors
and
all
those
people
out
there
have
been
frustrated
with
the
speed.
So
the
fact
that
you're
taking
this
on
and
gonna
increase
efficiency
is
great.
A
Now
we're
gonna
move
on
to
Finance
director
report.
W
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah,
so
thanks
same
old
same
old
from
the
finance
guy.
So
having
said
that,
I'm
going
to
mix
things
up
a
little
bit.
Sorry
Bill,
since
we're
we're
five
months
into
the
the
year,
42
you're,
going
to
see
that
Trend
stat
on
the
reports,
but
really
only
three
months
in
with
some
revenues.
W
I'm
just
going
to
make
a
couple
of
quick
comments
about
tonight's
Council,
if
I
make
so
to
council
member
Ward's
request
to
Parks
about
you
know:
requests
for
projects
we're
going
to
be
meeting
with
Council
I
think
some
in
early
December
or
some
time
in
December
to
review
the
project
submission
list
from
the
Departments,
so
that
Council
can
provide
input,
see
what's
on
the
list,
things
of
that
nature
for
fy24,
so
I'm
going
to
try
to
get
that
earlier
in
the
process
related
to
those
projects.
W
You
know
the
parks
Etc
related
to
the
police
and
the
Exxon
cameras
Etc,
so
just
putting
the
budget
in
context.
So
you
know
increase
of
145
Grand.
What
was
in
the
memo
reference,
the
the
Cannabis
State
share
the
use
tax.
So
that's
not
related
to
our
dispensary.
W
That's
dollars
of
the
state
of
sharing
of
their
sales
tax,
coming
back
to
local
governments
to
be
used
in
the
mitigation
of
crimes
related
to
cannabis,
Etc.
So
not
that
that
you
know
we
got
that
revenue
and
you
know
made
this
decision
based
on
that,
but
it
shows
that
you
know
there's
Revenue
to
offset
that.
But
when
we're
talking
about
our
budget,
the
the
budget,
we
always
reference,
the
the
expense.
You
know
just
the
total.
So
when
there's
revenues
to
offset
it,
it
kind
of
It
kind
of
disconnects
a
little
bit.
W
You
know
our
budgets
could
be
going
up,
but
we
have
a
revenue
Source,
that's
kind
of
covering
some
of
this
thing,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
comment
and
then
related
to
Craig
and
SAS
for
munis
and
the
rating
agencies,
with
the
the
latest
round
of
bonds
that
we
went
after
for
the
library
and
the
O'neill
Park
and
Pool
they're,
asking
they're
asking
questions
about
cyber
security,
so
I
was
able
to
provide
them
some
information
from
Craig
and
what
what
his
plan
was
for
the
coming
year,
boom
right
right
past
that
so
you
know
it
just
kind
of
goes
to
show
that
a
lot
of
this
you
know
comes
together,
impacts
the
city
in
a
lot
of
different
ways.
W
You
know
it's
it's
good
for
the
residents,
it's
more
efficient
operations,
but
it
has
a
financial
impact
as
well.
So
that's
my
intro
next
slide.
Please
to
mix
it
up
so
this
this
month,
I'll
cruise
through
these,
it's
the
same
position
that
we've
been
in
the
last
couple
of
months.
You
know
revenues
are
trending.
Well,
you
know
again.
I
I
just
want
to
keep
repeating
this.
W
You
know
acknowledging
that
inflation
driving
prices
up
local
community,
strong
economy,
people
still
making
the
same
amount
of
purchases
paying
more
for
those
positive
for
the
for
the
city
and
in
terms
of
sales
tax
revenues.
Understandably,
you
know
a
negative
impact
for
our
local
consumer.
I
want
to
highlight
home
rule
sales,
tax,
year-to-date
budget
variance,
596
000
up
myself
and
Chris
Tomlin
the
budget
manager.
W
We
reviewed
some
reports
from
the
the
State
Department
of
Revenue
that
shows
where
the
origination
of
sales
tax,
you
know
the
retailers,
and
so
we
were
able
to
kind
of
look
at
those
online
out
of
state
home
rule
that
tax
dollars
that
are
new
since
January
1st
of
2021
I've
been
referencing
the
new
revenues,
and
it's
really
it's
tracking
at
about
a
3.2
million
million
dollar
annual
level
for
home
rule
sales,
tax
related
to
out-of-state
online
retailers.
W
So
in
the
last
two
years
those
are
new
revenues
and
and
the
state
component
state
sales
tax.
We
were
getting
some
use
tax,
that's
voluntary
submission
of
people
buying
stuff
from
out
of
state,
but
most
of
that's
really
coming
from
businesses.
So
our
state
sales
tax
is
being
positively
impacted
from
that,
as
well
other
highlight
on
the
on
the
major
tax
revenues
utility
tax.
You
know,
while
we've
taken
it
down
the
budget
year
year
to
year,
because
the
Telecom
is
going
down,
it's
been
going
down
steadily.
W
It
is
over
budget
a
year
to
date
and
again
it's
the
double
message.
Natural
gas
prices
are
going
way
up.
We
have
part
of
our
utility
tax.
Is
it's
a
natural
gas
utility
tax
3.75
on
gross
receipts?
That's
about
124,
125,
000,
positive
variance
here
today,
so
that's
driving
most
of
that
variance
that
positive
variance
there
and
then
again,
I
just
like
to
highlight
this.
Every
month
the
food
and
beverage
tax,
you
know
just
really
strong
indicator
of
our
local
economy
economy.
W
320
000
almost
dollars
over
year
to
date,
again
that's
being
driven
by
higher
pricing
things
like
that,
but
still
a
just
a
good
measure
of
our
local
economy.
Next
slide,
please,
with
with
the
next
two
exhibits:
I,
really
wanted
to
kind
of
talk
about
the
impacts
of
timing
and
how
it
affects
our
financial
statements
and
makes
them
it's
a
little
tough
to
kind
of
get
your
head
around
them
at
this
point
in
time.
In
the
in
the
fiscal
year,
the
tax
the
taxes
line
is
showing
you
know
versus
our
Trend.
W
Where
we're
you
know
five
months
into
the
year,
we
should
be
42,
it's
45
percent
positive.
Well,
we
only
have
three
months
of
sales
taxes
versus
five
months,
so
you
think
we'd
be
down.
Well,
we've
gotten
almost
all
of
our
property
taxes
here
today.
So
together
that
kind
of
skews
the
timing,
so
I
just
wanted
to
keep
the
context.
You
know
related
to
these
numbers
kind
of
in
front
of
everyone
that
that
timing
and
where
we
are
in
the
fiscal
year,
really
impacts
our
financials
permits
the
same
way.
You
can
see
the
comment.
W
We're
56
percent
of
our
budget
has
been
recognized
so
far,
whereas
we're
only
42
through
the
year,
but
you
know
we're
heavy
into
the
construction
season
now
with
building
permits
and
then
the
same
for
charges
for
services
we're
at
60
of
the
annual
budget
already
but
Park
programs.
You
know,
that's,
that's
really.
What's
driving
that
so
far
year
to
date,
next
slide,
please
and
then
on
the
expenditure
exhibit.
If
you
go
down
to
the
other
intergovernmental
expense,
you
can
see
that
we're
53
percent
we're
we're
ahead
of
the
annualized
42.
W
Oh
see
the
33.
It
should
be
42
at
the
top
there
53,
that's
because
our
police
and
fire
pension
payments,
those
are
based
on
the
property
taxes,
so
we've
gotten
all
of
our
property
tax
payments
for
the
year
for
the
most
part
other
than
the
final
ones
in
December
and
we've
pushed
those
out
to
the
police
and
fire
Pension
funds.
So
those
happened
early
in
in
the
fiscal
year
and
kind
of
drive
drive
some
of
that.
That
anomaly.
W
You
see
there
related
to
the
trend
next
slide,
please
and
then
just
kind
of
an
FYI.
Here,
I'm
having
discussions
with
the
city
manager,
I
think
I
mentioned
this
last
month
that
we
want
to
start
highlighting
one
of
the
Enterprise
funds.
We
may
be
doing
that.
You
know
each
month
like
we'll
go
water,
maybe
just
kind
of
rotate
in
them,
but
we
may
do
that
during
the
committee
of
the
whole.
Instead
of
making
this
presentation
longer
our
Enterprise
funds,
the
revenues
are
trending
right
with
the
annualized.
W
You
know
the
40
42
percent
water's
over
right
across
the
board
there
and
then
been
kind
of
using
Solid
Waste
as
an
example
of
how
we
book
encumbrances,
those
are
POS
land,
the
landfill.
You
know
we
show
those
an
expense
right
away.
Last
month,
the
year
to
get
year-to-date
gain,
loss
was
715
000
and
now
it's
538
933
dollars.
W
So
that's
coming
down
as
the
revenues
come
in,
but
we
we
recognize
that
expense
all
in
the
front
front
end
of
the
year
related
to
that
commitment
related
to
those
POs
next
slide,
please
and
then
just
want
to
remind
the
community.
You
know
that
these
reports
and
all
the
budgetary
reports
and
budget
videos
Etc
are
available
on
the
city's
website.
So
pause
it
and
see
if
there's
any
questions.
P
Discussion,
thank
you.
Mayor
I,
just
got
a
couple
of
slides
for
tonight
downtown
trick
or
treat
it's
that
time
of
year,
October
28th
from
5
to
8,
P.M
in
downtown
Bloomington,
hope,
you'll
all
turn
out
next
slide.
Please
a
couple
of
things
here:
outdoor
Farmers
Market
season,
this
there's
one
farmer's
market
left
and
well
from
what
I've
heard
from
Melissa
and
Kimberly
and
her
team
is
that
it's
been
a
fantastic
season
for
farmers
markets.
P
We've
got
great
turnout
and
it's
just
been
been
good
for
for
our
community
last
one
is
or
the
last
outdoor
one
will
be.
This
Saturday
from
7
30
a.m,
to
12
p.m,
and
then
we've
got
shop
small
and
give
thanks
November
4th
from
5
to
8
P.M,
and
that's
all
we
have.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
we're
going
to
move
on
to
mayor's
discussion
and
just
wanted
to
say
by
now
I
think
most
people
have
heard
about
the
council
member
Emig
so
just
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
keep
her
in
your
thoughts
and
and
prayer
and
looking
forward
to
her
coming
back
healthy.
A
The
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
mention
just
kind
of
relative
to
a
comment
that
was
made
earlier
about
the.
Why
I
don't
know
if
I
guess
most
people
are
probably
not
aware,
but
an
announcement
was
made
that
Eastview
has
purchased
the
Y
for
and
we'll
be
using
that
for
Community
programming.
So
that's
just
wanted
to
share
that
and
other
comments
from
councilmember
councilmember
crabill.
Thank.
F
You
just
a
real
brief,
just
something
I
wanted
to
note
on
the
consent
agenda
and
commend
the
fire
department
and
and
I
think
I'll
be
able
to
explain
this
right,
but
for
EMS
charges
this
the
city
was
handling
the
credit
card.
F
You
know
charges,
but
then
we're
not
charging
the
customers,
and
but
there
went
to
a
third
party
to
do.
The
charging
and
the
fire
department
insisted
that
customers
not
be
charged
a
credit
card
fee.
So
one
just
wanted
to
commend
the
fire
department
for
that.
K
Thank
you,
mayor
on
Friday
October
14th
I
had
the
opportunity
to
walk
through
a
neighborhood
in
Ward
9
with
assistant
chief
pays.
We
knocked
on
numerous
doors
and
were
able
to
talk
with
residents
in
a
really
informal
setting
boy.
There
were
more
families
home
than
I
expected.
You
know
they
asked
great
questions
and
made
really
insightful
comments
about
the
area
and
things
that
the
city
could
hopefully
improve
and
things
that
the
city
was
doing
well
and
the
response
was
really
overwhelmingly
positive
and
I.
K
Think
you
know
this
community
event
is
really
allowing
the
Bloomington
Police
Department
to
build
trust
and
improve
rapport
with
residents
throughout
the
city.
I
think
it's
a
great
initiative
on
their
part.
A
E
Yes,
last
week,
the
city
hosted
help
me
out
Melissa
by
the
Main
Street
Main
Street
yeah,
my
brain
Sprite
Main
Street
America
conference
here
in
Bloomington
and
I
attended
several
sessions
and
I
learned
quite
a
bit
and
like
yeah
Melissa
was
there
if
we
Implement
some
of
the
things
that
they
presented.
I
think
that
it
would
be
really
very
valuable,
so
just
wanted
to
mention
that.
H
So
nationally,
this
is
spiritual
care
week
and
it's
a
week
in
which
institutions
such
as
Healthcare
institutions
and
hospices
and
nursing
homes
recognize
chaplains,
who
provide
spiritual
care
and
support
to
patients
and
residents
of
their
their
facilities
and
I,
want
to
congratulate
my
colleagues
on
that
and
thank
them
for
their
hard
work,
particularly
over
the
the
pandemic.
H
It's
become
apparent
that
people
have
more
than
just
physical
needs,
but
also
spiritual
and
emotional
needs
and
chaplains
have
really
stepped
into
the
Gap
over
the
last
few
years,
ministering
to
people
of
all
Faith
traditions
and
no
particular
Faith
tradition,
helping
them
to
make
meaning
of
their
experiences
and
connect
with,
what's
sacred
so
to
them.
So
I
congratulate
my
fellow
chaplains
on
spiritual
care
week.
C
Thank
you,
man,
I
I,
just
had
one
thing,
I
meant
to
mention
under
public
comment.
We
did
have
one
person
register
through
the
online
Link
today
William
Gustafson
and
to
speak
remotely,
but
unfortunately
the
email
bounced
backed
or
bounced
back
for
us,
so
I
just
wanted
to
publicly
announce
that
just
the
importance
of
including
a
valid
email
there
for
us
and
if
not,
you
can
register
in
person
or
email
us
as
well
for
additional
instruction,
but
just
wanted
to
recognize
that
person
too.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
A
Okay,
councilman
reward
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
aye.
We
are
adjourned.
We
will
see
you.
