Yes,
thank
you.
The
consent
agenda
passes
next
item
on
the
agenda.
Is
a
draft
budget
amendment
for
the
town
fit
fund
for
fiscal
year
fy21,
and
this
is
a
recommendation
by
the
township
supervisor
that
the
draft
president
amendment
be
accepted
and
placed
on
file
for
30
day
review
period,
township
supervisor
skill.
Do
you
have
any
comments
you'd
like
to
make
prior
to
emotion
or
no.

Asking
a
question
really
quickly:
I
I
just
wanted.
I
don't
know
if
it
needs
to
be
the
second,
you
do
meet
in
a
regular
council
meeting
on
august
9th.
So
if
you
wanted
to
align
that
you
could
actually,
if
with
if
a
supervisor
skill
road
is
okay
with
that,
I
don't
know.
If
it's
too
late
just
want
to
throw
that
out,
then
you
would
actually
align
your
meetings.
B
G
It
might
be
a
problem
because
bids
are
due
on
august
16th
and
they
need
extra
time
for
that,
so
we're
on
a
really
shortened
time
frame
on
this.
If
we're
going
to
be
aggressive
about
it,
so
I
prefer
it
if
we
could
make
it,
we
can
do
an
online
zoom
meeting
and
and
try
to
get
through
it
that
way,
if
that's
okay,
with
the
board.
F

We
did
have
some
issues
with
our
street
in
front
of
the
township
parking
lot:
it's
very
full
of
mud.
We
had
a
wash
away
of
some
debris,
but
we're
doing
pretty
good
in
this
area.
So
luckily
we
didn't
have
any
leaks.
So
we
do.
We
are
working
with
the
city
regarding
variances
on
the
the
project,
hoping
that
the
zoning
issues
won't
be
a
problem
and
that
the
variances
won't
cause
additional
delay,
but
we'll
be
working
with
city
manager,
tim
gleason
and
the
engineering
department.
For
that.
A
J
Hey
good
evening,
the
the
chart
that
I
provided,
you
was
the
is
the
the
tax
rate
for
the
city
of
bloomington
for
property
taxes.
The
formula
for
the
tax
rate
is
the
levy
divided
by
the
total
taxable
assessed
value
equals
the
tax
rate
and
to
get
your
tax
bill.
Is
the
assessed
value,
your
property
minus
any
exemptions
times
that
rate
equals
what
your
tax
bill
will
total
to
so
is
there
any
questions
on
the
chart.
F

E
Interim
county
administrator
has
shared
that
the
county
reports
16
new
cases
and
one
of
the
things
of
note-
and
I
didn't
realize
this-
but
we're
nearly
47
percent
vaccinated
completely
vaccinated
in
mclean
county,
and
that
puts
us
in
the
top
10
counties
for
the
state
of
illinois.
So
that's
actually
something
to
be
very
proud
of
as
a
community,
and
it's
going
to
be
our
best
defense
for
this
delta
variant
that
we
are
very
concerned
about.
E
It's
got
quite
a
bit
of
attention
in
the
news
recently
and
feel
that
there
could
be
a
late
summer
surge,
so
there
is
still
time
to
get
vaccinated
for
those
residents
in
the
community
and
in
the
county,
and
vaccination
site
is
still
up
and
running,
but
at
a
smaller
footprint
at
the
arena.
So
that's
all
at
this
time
here.
Thank
you.
B
All
right
thanks
so
we're
recognizing
the
appointment
to
john
m
scott
healthcare
commission.
We
have
catherine
crockett
elaine
hardy
adam
hoffton,
karen
schmidt,
brad,
secret
and
kyanna
wilkinson.
Next
up
to
the
citizens,
beautification
commission.
We
have
joni
painter,
johnny,
painter,
excuse
me
and
for
reappointment
to
the
technology
commission.
We
have
jennifer
brown
and
robert
davis
and
for
reappointment
to
the
transportation
commission,
ricky
lee
finicky
and
that's
all.
A
B
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
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
expression
of
all
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.
K
K
L
Hello,
my
name
is
noah
tang.
I
live
about
two
blocks
from
city
hall.
I'm
coming
to
talk
to
you
guys
to
tell
you
that
you
should
pull
the
item.
Eight
f
from
the
consent
agenda
at
least
discuss
it.
I
would
argue
that
you
should
vote
no
for
item
8f,
which
is
the
consideration
and
action
on
the
resolution
to
commit
to
financial
support
and
administration
of
funds
to
construct
the
hamilton
road
connection.
L
L
A
B
M
Okay,
thank
you.
My
name
is
leah
klein
and
I
live
on
west
macarthur
avenue.
In
addition
to
being
a
resident
of
the
west
side,
I'm
also
an
elected
member
of
the
mclean
county
board
representing
district
8.
district
8
encompasses
all
are
part
of
member
carrillo
member
matthew,
member
ward
and
member
emig
ward.
These.
C
M
That
we
represent
contain
a
fairly
high
concentration
of
historic
houses,
businesses
and
infrastructure,
like
so
many
residents
in
my
district,
I
got
an
unhappy
surprise
in
the
midst
of
the
downpours
on
friday
night,
while
my
basement
walls
were
not
letting
water
in
the
city
drains
were
I
had
ankle
deep
water
in
my
basement,
ankle,
deep
water
that
was
bubbling
up
from
the
city's
systems
at
an
alarming
rate.
This
presented
both
a
risk
for
my
house's
systems,
but
also
my
health
in
the
historic
neighborhoods.
M
Unlike
newer
construction,
these
drains
convey
both
runoff
and
sewage,
so
the
water
bubbling
up
in
my
basement
contained
all
sorts
when
the
water
finally
receded.
My
cleanup
did
not
just
involve
getting
rid
of
wilted
boxes.
It
involved
a
full
sanitary,
clean
of
everything
touched
by
the
sewer
laden
water
in
the
following
two
days.
M
I
heard
from
many
neighbors
and
district
residents
about
their
flooding
repeatedly.
I
heard
that
they
got
most
of
their
damage
from
water
that
came
up
into
their
homes
through
the
city's
system.
Now
they
are
going
through
the
horrible
task
of
clearing
away
and
cleaning
up,
disinfecting
and
trying
to
make
their
homes
safe.
M
Furthermore,
I
hope
that
you
will
ensure
that
the
city
of
bloomington
staff
who
are
tasked
with
picking
up
this
refuse,
will
be
provided
with
appropriate
protective
gear.
As
I
mentioned
in
the
historic
neighborhoods
waste
removed
from
these
basements
has
been
soaked
in
water
that
came
up
through
sewers.
No
staff
members
should
be
asked
to
pick
up
this
without
proper
precautions
and,
lastly,
I
implore
you
to
finally
finally
get
serious
about
repairing
and
updating
the
infrastructure
and
historic
core
of
our
city.
M
This
is
not
a
new
problem,
but
it
is
a
problem
that
has
been
kicked
down.
The
road
or
slow
walked
for
decades
and
the
residents
are
paying
for
it.
It
should
not
take
a
500
year
flood
event
to
convince
you
that
this
is
not
just
an
infrastructure
problem,
but
it's
a
public
health
problem.
The
residents
of
all
parts
of
the
city
should
be
able
to
rely
on
proper
functioning
drainage
and
water
systems
systems
that
will
keep
sewage
from
regurgitating
into
their
homes.
M
B
A
B
B
Those
changes
they
basically
added
language
to
the
ordinance
so
that
things
that
were
already
present
in
the
plan
that
was
presented
as
exhibit
b
in
the
original
packet
they
tied
verbally
in
that
into
the
ordinance.
I
hope
that
that
makes
sense
anyway
for
the
public.
It
was
that
edited
ordinance
was
provided
to
council
earlier
today
for
their
review,
and
so,
if
council
would
like
to
move
forward
with
that
item,
we're
not
requesting
that
it
be
pulled
from
the
consent
agenda.
B
A
A
A
G
C
F
N
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
pull
it.
I
would
like
the
opportunity
to
vote
no.
I
do
think
that
noah
made
a
very
compelling
argument
and
covered
most
of
the
reasons,
but
I
I
wouldn't
implore
my
colleagues
to
consider
voting.
No,
especially
as
we
have
residents
coming
to
us
saying,
we
want
to
see
greater
investments
in
infrastructure.
N
A
H
H
The
second
one
is
the
revitalization
of
the
business
district
down
there,
where
the
new
road
path
would
go
through
and
that
business
district
you
know
revitalizing
all
that
area,
the
property
values
will
go
up
and
that
will
help
offset
costs
for
other
stuff
that
we
do
need
to
do
around
town.
I
know
there's
always
a
balance
that
we're
trying
to
achieve
between
direct
infrastructure
costs
and
and
working
into
business
areas
at
the
same
time,
but
we
need
to
if
we
don't
create
business
areas
and
increase
the
property
values
in
the
business
areas.
H
F
F
F
I
was
provided
some
traffic
data
on
veterans
between
commerce
and
morrissey,
and
in
the
last
I
guess
five
years
the
traffic's
been
about
the
same,
but
just
a
little
bit
of
concern
about
the
you
know
the
drop
to
some
degree
in
employment
by
state
farm
as
well
as
it
looks
like
there's
going
to
be
some
type
of
permanent
or
at
least
extended
work
from
home
right.
So
you
know
a
question
would
be
whether
you
know
it
would
be.
You
know,
still
needed,
and
so
you
know
our
cost
would
be
about.
F
You
know
three
thousand
dollars,
so
I
I
guess
I
you
know
I'm
gonna
vote
in
favor
of
it.
I
just
always
think
when
this
comes
up
and
we're
asked
to
you
know
basically
say
hey
we
we
agree.
We
want
to
continue
to
move
forward
with.
This
is
to
have
that
discussion
and
make
sure
it's
still
the
best
thing
you
know
for
the
city,
so
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
I
I
and
looking
at
this,
it
seems
to
me
that
there
was
the
railroad
asked
the
city
to
you
know
to
do
us
a
study
you
know
of
the
the
worth
wildness
for
lack
of
better
term
on
this,
and
it
just
seems
to
me
that
the
city
has
done
its
due
diligence
and
it
looks
like
from
my
perspective.
This
is
something
that's
good
for
that
area,
for
you
know,
for
the
reasons
that
have
been
stated
and
I
plan
to
vote
in
favor
of
it.
So
thank
you.
O
O
E
E
E
It
will
increase
their
routes
and
passage
in
that
part
of
our
community,
its
connectivity
to
the
east
side
of
the
community.
Also,
we
have
a
highly
used
va
clinic
that
you
can
only
access
from
one
direction.
This
would
open
that
up
as
well,
and
it's
it's
an
opportunity.
The
relationship
with
the
railroad
was
one
that
in
years
past,
we
had
not
completed
that
portion
and
that
relationship
and
agreement
is
nearly
complete
at
this
point.
O
O
So
I
I
am
somewhat
reluctantly
voting
yes
for
this
only
because
I
agree
that,
as
things
have
shifted,
it's
it's
important
to
revisit,
and
I
want
to
ensure
that
that
we
are
developing
those
parts
of
our
community
across
the
board.
But
I
know
that
folks
have
been
working
hard
on
this
on
one
boys
trips,
and
it
does
make
us
a
lot
of
sense
for
a
lot
of
the
reasons
named.
So
I
appreciate
the
the
time
you're
taking
on
this
topic.
Thanks.
D
I
yeah,
I
appreciate
everything
that
tim
said
and
and
alderman
matthew,
specifically
the
connect
transit
connection,
because
ward
2
does
not
have
any
bus
service
and
ryan
whitehouse
promised
me
that
he
was
going
to
work
very
hard
to
get
the
funding
support
for
that
funding.
So
we
could
get
connect
transit
into
ward
2.
and,
like
city
manager,
gleason
said
it's
not
just
about
state
farm.
D
I
had
the
misfortune
of
being
on
that
on
roads,
road
when
the
fire
trucks
were
trying
to
get
through,
and
everybody
had
to,
like.
You
know,
like
cockroaches,
go
into
the
ditch
so
that
the
fire
engines
could
go
through
out
to
the
southeast
side
so
and
additionally,
the
primary
source
of
property
tax
in
ward
2
is
residential.
D
A
A
H
O
O
P
F
F
A
E
We
have
been
operating
under
an
emergency
ordinance
for
several
months
now
and,
as
we
see
an
end,
not
entirely,
but
you
see,
most
municipalities
throughout
the
state
are
asking
their
council
to
in
the
emergency
ordinance
that
many
communities
have
been
operating
under.
That's
going
to
be
our
ask
this
evening,
but
also
with
that,
we
see
some
opportunities
to
change
some
of
our
code.
E
I
know
council's
been
prepped
by
corporation
council
jeff
jurgens,
but
we
see
an
opportunity
for
that
to
be
adopted
as
well
as
part
of
this
potential
motion
and
I'm
going
to
turn
the
floor
over
to
corporation
council
jeff
jurgens
to
walk
through
for
the
community's
sake.
Some
of
those
changes
that
we're
proposing
jeff.
Q
Thank
you,
city
manager,
as
as
the
city
manager
said
about
it's
been
about
15
months
ago,
a
little
over
15
months
ago,
that
the
city
council
approved
the
emergency
ordinance
in
response
to
the
pandemic,
and
that
ordinance
has
allowed
us
a
certain
flexibility
in
terms
of
operations
and
helping
the
city
to
cut
some
bureaucratic
red
tape.
For
example,
it
streamlined
the
outdoor
dining
approvals.
Q
Q
Q
H
H
What
I
had
said
is
the
I
wanted
to
know
if
there
was
a
way
to
make
it
easier
for
people
to
participate
virtually
if
they
were
traveling
for
work,
our
old
methodology
was,
you
had
to
wait
until
we
were
into
the
meeting
and
then
the
mayor
had.
This
do
a
vote
to
see
if
everybody
was
okay
with
somebody
participate
virtually
and
that
in
in
light
of
what
we've
done
in
the
last
15
minutes,
that
just
seems
kind
of
silly
as
a
procedure
going
forward.
H
Jeff
told
me
that
as
a
future
meeting,
if
everybody's
kind
of
on
board
and
we'll
do
a
a
maybe
a
whip
around
later
on
ideas,
but
that
we
could
change
that
procedure
to
say
that
unless
somebody
objects,
it's
just
assumed
that
everybody's
good
with
it
for
the
future,
to
streamline
that
virtual
participation
so
jeff.
I
would
like
you
to
bring
that
back
to
us
at
some
point
in
the
future
or
at
least
bring
an
idea
to
council
to
talk
about
for
a
future
meeting.
H
F
F
O
F
Q
Well,
yeah,
so
a
great
question.
So,
first
of
all,
the
repeal
is
not
going
to
be
effective
until
the
end
of
june
so
july,
one
and
at
that
time
the
emergency
ordinance
all
the
orders,
all
the
powers
go
away
that
were
enacted
under
that
emergency
ordinance.
So
the
prime
example
there
that
you
raised
was
the
utility
shut
off
moratorium.
That's
been
enacted
by
the
council.
Q
This
companion
ordinance
keeps
that
alive
through
the
month
of
july
and
allows
the
city
manager
to
enact
repayment
terms
and
as
long
as
somebody's
you
know,
in
good
standing
on
a
repayment
agreement,
their
utilities
are
not
going
to
be
shut
off
and
they're
not
going
to
be
charged
penalties.
And
if
the
council
wants
to
do
something
different
than
that,
then
we've
got
the
month
of
july
to
enact
something
different,
but
that's
at
least
kind
of
the
stop
gap
scenario
to
get
us
through
that.
Q
The
other
things
you
know,
there's
really
not
going
to
be
a
lot
of
changes
that
we
anticipate,
because
the
the
ordinance
allows
the
city
manager
to
continue
the
outdoor
dining.
As
is
the
ordinance
allows
the
mayor
to
continue
the
curbside
liquor
delivery
and
to
go
as
allowed
by
state
law,
so
that's
going
to
continue,
as
is
at
least
until
we
get
more
permanent
updates
considered
in
front
of
the
city
code.
So
some
of
the
you
know
the
businesses
shouldn't
really
see
any
changes
and
staffing
it.
Q
One
of
the
things
that
we
we
did
when
we
first
passed,
the
emergency
ordinance
was
to
create
kinds
of
you
know
clear
lines
of
succession.
If,
if
the
city
manager
was
going
to
be
gone,
the
deputy
city
manager
would
sit
in
and
and
so
on
this
this
we
did
add
a
provision
in
this
ordinance
under
the
current
city
code.
It
says
if
the
city
city
manager
is
unavailable.
It
says
the
mayor
serves,
we
did
add
a
provision
saying
the
ma.
F
Great,
thank
you
jeff.
My
next
focus
is
on
our
questions
or
about
the
the
water,
the
water
payment,
a
repayment
issue-
and
I
apologize.
I
didn't
ask
this
before
the
meeting,
but
some
questions,
I
guess,
would
be:
how
much
is
the
total
back
owed
as
of
now?
What
is
the
average
amount
people
owe
and
how
many
people
you
know
are
are
behind
any
ideas
on
that.
Even
just
rough
estimates-
and
I
understand
this-
wasn't
asked
before
the
meeting.
So
if
you
don't
have
those
numbers,
that's
perfectly
fine.
I.
F
C
Q
No,
that's
a
good
question
and
my
recommendation
to
council
member
matthew
was
that
we
wait
because
I
I
want
to
look
at
some
of
those
provisions
that
some
other
communities
have
done
and
that's
going
to
be
kind
of
a
different
massage
of
that
policy.
So
my
recommendation
is
it's
best
to
get
that
back
in
front
of
you,
so
you
can
actually
see
all
the
details
of
that,
rather
than
amending
it
on
the
on
the
fly
or
even
trying
to
put
it
together
today.
Q
P
P
I
think
making
making
public
comment
accessible
by
remotely
makes
it
more
accessible
frankly
to
people
who
have
a
hard
time
getting
to
council
meetings,
and
then
I
would
also
just
simply
say
that
that
I
would
strongly
support
us
revisiting
forgiving
the
the
utility
bills,
especially
given
you
know
the
events
of
the
last
few
days
in
terms
of
the
flooding
there's.
A
lot
of
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
are
are
hurting
right
now
and
and
this
just
you
know,
the
flooding
adds
salt
to
that
wound.
D
When,
when
you
brought
back
up
the
idea
of
remote,
I
think
I
had
mentioned
this
to
city
manager
gleason
in
the
past,
I
think
it
might
be
worthwhile
considering
adding
a
virtual
recording
of
planning
commission.
Can
you
check
into
that?
I
know
the
planning
commission
is
statutory,
but
they
meet
at
four
o'clock
in
the
afternoon.
People
are
still
at
work
and
a
lot
of
those
topics
are
very
important
and
people
find
out
kind
of
too
late
after
the
fact.
Q
A
A
B
G
F
F
A
B
O
F
A
E
We
continue
to
trend
well,
so
I
think
I
would
phrase
this
as
cautiously
optimistic
how
the
community
has
supported
itself
and
we've
seen
the
numbers
over
the
past
several
months,
but
it
does
not
take
much
to
upset
that
and
scott's
going
to
provide
the
june
finance
director's
report,
but
scott
not
putting
you
on
the
spot.
If
you
possibly
have
a
response
to
the
last
agenda
item,
maybe
kick
it
off
that
way
and
then
transition
into
your
monthly
report
thanks.
R
Gleason
we
have
some
statistics.
One
issue
we
were
currently
confronted
with
is
that
with
the
utility
billing
conversion
that
we
went
through
in
march,
we
kind
of
had
a
reset
of
our
past
due
everything
was
re
really
reset
to
current.
So
we're
now
just
kind
of
approaching
that
60-day
threshold,
where
people
our
accounts
would
be
considered
in
shutoff
status.
But
you
know
when
we
went
into
the
pandemic,
I
started
gathering.
We
started
gathering
some
stats
and
we
looked
at
prior
years
too.
R
So
just
as
some
context
on
average
in
2019,
we
would
send
out
1250
shutoff
notices
per
month.
We'd
only
end
up
shutting
off
on
average
161
accounts,
so
the
shut
off
notices
were
effective.
In
that
regard,
that's
just
a
statistic:
I'm
not
making
a
a
comment
as
to
what
that
might
result
in
with
this
pandemic
related
issue
that
we're
confronted
with
right
before
covet
hit.
R
When
I
checked
last
week
that
60-day
category
was
a
little
north
of
1.3
million
right
now,
so
it
is
kind
of
it's
kind
of
leveled
off
somewhat,
but
it's
1.3
million
versus
pre-covered
was
300
000
and
the
number
1
350
versus
you
know
somewhere
around
2
300
accounts,
so
that
those
are
the
kind
of
the
current
statistics
that
we
have
related
to
the
past
due
accounts.
That
would
be
in
shutoff
status,
which
is
over
the
60-day
category.
R
Before
we
move
on
to
the
the
finance
director's
report,
are
there
any
questions
about
that?
This
really
on
the
average,
the
average?
Is
we
calculated
this
in?
I
think,
may
the
first
time
or
june.
We
brought
forward
an
idea,
the
idea
of
reinstating
the
shutoffs,
and
it
should
be
about
the
same
a
little
over
five
hundred
dollars
per
account
related
to
those
ones
over
60
days.
R
A
I
F
Thanks
mayor
and
thank
you,
scott,
you
had
all
the
numbers.
That's
awesome
just
curious.
I
know
that
the
situation
that,
if
a
a
tenant
who
is
supposed
to
pay
their
water
bill,
doesn't
then
it
goes
it
becomes.
The
responsibility
of
the
landlord
so
is
are
some
of
the
past
due
amounts
owed,
the
2300,
potentially
landlords
that
are
past
due,
as
well
as
individual
residents.
R
F
S
Hi
scott,
it
seems
like
in
listening
to
the
council's
prior
discussions
around
this
topic.
The
staff's
recommendation
included
empowering
the
staff
to
make
decisions
on
a
case-by-case
basis
for
forgiveness,
which
would
allow
the
opportunity
to
help
those
who
most
need
the
forgiveness
without
a
blanket
forgiveness
for
everyone,
including
as
as
jeff
mentioned,
the
other
population.
Is
that
correct.
R
We
we
have
not
made
any
recommendations
for
forgiveness.
At
this
point,
I
would
think
that
we
would
need
to
have
a
very
specific
guidelines
related
to
who
would
qualify
and
who
wouldn't
related
to
staff's
assessment
of
that
you
know
that
would
have
to
come
from
an
administration
in
the
city
council
that
would
dictate
you
know
who
would
qualify
versus
you
know
a
blanket,
so
we
we
have
not
recommended
a
blanket
relief
in
that
regard.
R
S
The
only
other
observation
I
have
is
that
if
we
did
provide
a
blanket
forgiveness,
we
could
present
a
challenge
where
we
have
people
who
have
worked
very
hard
to
maintain
current
under
dire
circumstances.
That
would
be
disproportionately
affected
by
us,
making
a
blanket
forgiveness
for
that
entire
population
who
wasn't
able
to
pay
or
did
not
pay.
A
R
Can
we
go?
Let's
just
go
back
to
the
thank
you
title
page.
First,
a
couple
opening
comments,
we're
I'm
going
to
cover
year
in
2021
again
this
evening
and
next
month,
as
well
as
last
month,
we
were
only
11
months
in
as
far
as
some
of
our
revenue
categories
recall
that,
with
our
sales
tax
revenues,
those
are
we
get
those
two
months
after
the
effective
month.
So
we
we
just
got
a
our
early
second
week
of
june
our
revenues
that
were
associated.
R
You
know
that
we
booked
back
to
april
for
sales,
our
home
rural
sales
tax
and
state
sales
tax.
So
we
will
be
continuing
this
conversation
one
more
month.
The
audit
will
be
going
on
through
september,
but
most
of
the
material
adjustments
should
be
made
by
next
month
and
we
should
have
some
relatively
final
numbers.
Numbers
are
going
to
be
very
close
this
evening,
so
this
should
give
you
a
good
gauge,
but
there
is
that
potential
for
things
to
to
continue
to
change.
R
R
Just
in
one
month,
they've
gone
from
you
know
a
negative
under
budget
from
the
prior
month
to
exceeding
budget
the
last
month,
and
our
assessment
here
in
finance
is
really
that
has
that
has
to
be
a
federal
stimulus,
dollar
related
having
an
impact.
So
you
know
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
there
are
many
many
residents
and
businesses
that
have
been
negatively
materially
impacted
by
the
pandemic,
but
the
city
has
been
somewhat
fortunate
related
to
the
federal
relief
we
got
last
year.
The
local
cure
grant
the
3.2
million
the
federals.
R
So
this
has
helped
the
city
it's
going
to
have
a
positive
impact,
I
believe
on
our
final
year
end
and
that
will
help
us
going
into
2022
address
some
of
the
goals
that
we've
been
discussing,
such
as
paying
cash
for
equipment,
and
we
have
o'neill
pool
that
we
basically
just
put
a
large
borrowing
on
in
the
budget
for
this
for
2022,
and
so
you
know,
extra
dollars
that
we
may
realize
coming
out
of
fy
2021
are
going
to
be
able
to
help
address
those
needs
next
slide.
Please
thank
you,
phil,
I'm!
R
So
I'm
going
to
highlight
the
far
right
column
first,
so
you
can
see
that
home
rule
sales
tax.
The
very
last
revenue
budget
month
of
the
year
for
april,
was
12.85
over
budget
the
prior
month
it
was
11
under
budget,
so
that
was
a
487
thousand
dollar
swing
in
one
lied
item
between
our
projection
and
the
realized
revenues,
so
very
significant
material
impact,
I
believe,
is
from
the
federal
stimulus
dollars.
R
We
are
also
seeing
the
impact
it's
taken
through
this
later
spring
this
year
early
summer
for
us
to
really
get
some
visibility
on
it,
but
the
internet
sales
tax
legislation
changed
as
of
january
1st,
where
online
retailers
were
to
begin
charging
the
local
taxes
as
part
of
that
assessment,
instead
of
just
a
statewide
tax.
So
we
are
seeing
home
rule
tax
dollars
from
those
online
retailers
as
well,
and
so
that
is
having
a
positive
impact
as
well
sales
tax
state
sales
tax.
R
You
can
see
that
it
was
nearly
30
percent
over
budget.
The
prior
month
was
positive
as
well,
although
we've
been
trending
negative
through
much
of
the
year,
so
that
was
a
491
000
swing
in
our
projection.
You
know
just
from
a
month
ago
versus
what
we
realized
state
sales
tax.
If
you
slide
over
to
the
left.
R
You
know
that
we
have
to
be
cautious,
because
I
think
a
major
component
of
these
tax
revenues
are
the
federal
stimulus
dollars
at
work.
So
we
want
to
be
cautious
about
not
applying
this.
You
know
to
the
coming
year,
I'm
just
running
down
the
year-to-date
variance
column,
we've
discussed
before
income
tax.
You
know
finishing
the
year,
nearly
1.3
million
dollars
over
budget
local
use
tax.
This
is
internet
sales
tax,
primarily
a
million
dollars
over
budget,
a
replacement
tax,
another
type
of
income
tax,
346
thousand
dollars
over
budget.
R
You
know
home
rule
sales
tax
did
finish
the
year,
2.6
million
under,
but
very
positive
trends
towards
the
end.
I
skipped
one
in
the
right
column.
I
want
to
bounce
back
over
there
before.
I
comment
on
my
note
at
the
bottom
here:
food
and
beverage
tax,
the
final
month
of
the
year,
1.79
percent
over
the
monthly
budget.
This
is
the
first
time
we've
had
a
positive
variance
to
the
food
and
beverage
tax
line
item
for
the
entire
year.
R
So
I
was
very
very
very
pleased
to
see
that
not
only
for
the
city's
sake,
but
obviously
for
our
local
restaurants
and
businesses.
Hopefully,
you
know
positively
impacting
their
their
business
operations
so
going
back
to
the
year-to-date
dollar
variance
column.
So
there
are
some
significant
negative
variances,
but
we
do
have
some
significant
positive
variances
as
well.
My
note
at
the
bottom
I'd
like
to
explain
that
a
little
bit
so
our
major
tax
revenues.
These
are
our
top
11
tax
revenue
categories.
R
We
have
other
tax
revenue
categories
as
well,
but
local
motor
fuel
tax
and
10
of
our
home
rule
sales
tax
are
transferred
out
of
the
general
fund
to
our
asphalt
and
concrete.
So
I
don't
want
to
downplay
those
reductions
because
those
do
impact
our
streets
and
sidewalks,
but
from
a
general
fund
standpoint,
if
you
add
up
the
variances
in
that
column
and
you
net
out
the
local
motor
fuel
tax
and
the
homeworld
sales
tax
of
10
264
000
we've
had
a
negative
net
impact
of
1.4
million
dollars
from
kovac.
R
So
in
hindsight
you
know
looking
back
to
some
of
the
projections
we're
using
earlier
in
the
year.
You
know
that
that's
a
very,
I
think
positive,
a
number
to
to
exit
2021
with
next
slide.
Please
thank
you.
Phil
I
re
reduced.
This
exhibit-
and
I
forgot
to
mention
I'm
just
covering
the
general
fund
this
evening.
The
enterprise
funds
are
finishing.
R
The
year
revenues
are
on
target,
so
I
wanted
to
primarily
focus
on
the
general
fund
for
the
evening,
since
this
is
where
we've
realized
100
of
the
year
12
months
or
remove
the
projection.
Column
simplified
the
exhibit,
but
I
want
to
highlight
basically
the
variance
to
budget
column
and
kind
of
give
a
high
level
view
of
how
the
general
fund
finished
the
year
and
we're
going
to
have
another
slide.
R
A
lot
of
that
was
bcpa,
but
a
lot
of
their
rep
programs
professional
development.
So
that
not
a
lot
of
training
occurred
during
the
year
just
to
reduce
you
know,
travel,
etc,
commodities
parks
and
rec
416
000
under
budget
for
the
year,
and
then,
fortunately,
we
just
had
some
reductions
in
other
commodities
line
items.
Salt
fuel
electricity
has
been
trending
down
for
the
last
two
years,
so
you
know
we're
going
to
look
at
the
budget
for
2022.
We
may
have
some
savings
in
the
budget
for
2022
going
forward
so
again.
R
The
miscellaneous
revenues-
the
2.5
million
dollar
loss,
which
is
driven
primarily
by
the
charges
for
services,
revenue
line
at
2.07
million,
which
is
primarily
parks
and
there's
a
lot
of
other
stuff.
You
know
a
lot
of
its
parks
and
other
other
fees
was
offset
by
the
the
reduction
in
expenditures
and
then
in
the
other
expenditure
line,
we
had
savings
with
economic
rebates.
So
on
you
know,
that's
that's
actually
a
an
item.
We
don't
really
like
to
see.
That
means
our.
R
You
know
the
agreements
we
have
in
place.
Our
retailers
did
not
make
their
their
benchmarks,
so
we
saved
money
in
rebates
there,
but
the
ambulance
insurance
adjustments.
I've
talked
about
this.
This
is
a
program
that
chief
moore
got
us
into
the
ground:
emergency:
emergency,
medical
transport,
federal
state.
It's
a
supplemental,
supplemental,
medicaid
program.
R
We've
realized
significant,
I'm
going
to
call
them
savings
because
essentially
we
bill
out
a
normal
ambulance
run,
and
then
we
adjust
based
on
the
medicaid
rules
or
criteria
related
to
those
those
runs
and
we've
always
had
significant
write-downs
of
our
insurance
and
this
year
there's
been
a
1.3
million
dollar
adjustment.
Positive
adjustment.
R
To
that
we
have
to
share
some
of
those
revenues
with
the
department
of
health
and
family
services,
but
the
dollar
amounts
that
we've
been
having
to
share
have
been
significantly
lower
than
our
projection,
so
a
very,
very
positive
result
for
the
year
for
that
line
item.
So
at
this
point
in
time
you
know:
we've
incorporated
we've
reclassified
our
equipment,
expenditures
from
the
least
paying
cash
we've
been
able
to
incorporate
that
a
transfer
related
to
being
able
to
do
some
arena
repairs
and
we're
still
showing
a
1.191
potential
surplus
exiting
the
year.
R
A
E
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
I've
got
some
general
comments,
but
then
the
majority
of
my
comments
this
evening
are
going
to
be
related
to
the
storm
this
past
weekend.
Phil,
I
think
I
have
two
slides.
Can
I
see
the
first
one?
Please
and
downtown
farmers
market
also
get
your
fix
on
route
66,
that's
the
july
first
friday
for
the
route
66
event,
and
then
our
downtown
farmers
market.
They
continue
to
be
well
attended
and
they're
every
saturday
morning,
downtown
7
30
a.m
to
12
p.m.
E
And
here
we
go
saturday
is
on
the
square.
This
is
a
free
show.
Althea
grace
will
be
performing
on
july.
24Th,
look
forward
to
the
various
events
that
I
know,
melissa
hahn
and
her
economic
development
team,
her
downtown
staff,
samantha,
milott
and
katherine
dunlap
have
provided
the
community
and
rory
from
the
castle.
Theater
is
providing
several
that
we've
entered
into
a
partnership
with
so
excited
about.
E
Those
next
item
that
I
wanted
to
comment
to
was
council
meetings,
the
city
clerk
and
I
leslie
are
at
the
city
hall,
109
east
olive,
and
this
will
actually
be
the
last
council
meeting
that's
conducted
here.
So
our
first
council
meeting
in
july
is
actually
on
monday
july,
12th
same
time,
6
p.m.
But
it's
going
to
be
at
the
government
center
that
we
share
with
mclean
county,
and
that
is
115
east
washington
street,
and
this
will
resume.
This
will
be
very
similar
to
a
pre-coven
meeting
no
partitions.
E
The
residents
of
the
community
can
attend
we'll,
have
hand
sanitizer
that
kind
of
stuff
and
we'll
have
seats
that
are
distance
if
a
person
chooses
to.
But
this
really
is
very
similar
to
a
pre-covered
council
meeting,
except
for
in
a
new
location,
and
this
has
been
a
part
of
trying
to
occupy
that
space
that
we're
a
co-tenant
with
the
county.
E
The
public
building
commission
is
the
actual
owner,
and
this
is
the
next
step
in
that
long-term
transition
and
and
project
for
the
city
I'm
going
to
transition
to
the
storms
that
occurred
this
past
weekend.
A
lot
of
comments
that
have
been
received
a
fair
amount
of
staff
preparation.
I
know
you
as
elected
officials,
have
taken
you
know
several
calls
from
constituents
very
much
appreciate
your
support
and
patience
as
we
work
through
something
that
we've
not
seen
in
decades.
E
You
know,
while
I'm
not
going
to
say
it's
common,
but
it's
not
unusual
to
have
a
rain
event
where
you
might
get
five
six
seven
inches
of
rain,
but
it's
over
the
course
of
a
five
six,
seven
day
period,
where
you
have
that
kind
of
rain
event.
We
had
this
rain
event,
the
first
round
over
the
course
of
a
couple
of
hours.
E
E
When
I
talked
about
the
patients
of
the
elected
officials,
many
of
you
reached
out
definitely
was
talking
to
the
mayor
over
that
48-hour
period.
Quite
often-
and
I
was
out
and
about
as
he
was-
and
I
know
many
of
the
elected
officials
were
as
well
just
checking
out
the
community,
but
those
during
those
storm
events.
This
really
was
about
life
and
safety,
health
and
safety
type
of
rescue
missions,
and
in
some
cases
that
was
the
case
where
we
had
bridges
overflowing.
E
We
had
roads
that
were
overflowing
and
we
were
trying
to
prevent
some
a
loss
of
life.
I
mean
you
get
water
moving
that
quickly.
That
is
very
much
a
possibility,
and
then
in
between
the
storms,
you
know
something
that
we
might
travel.
You
know
every
day
that
doesn't
appear
to
really
be
a
bridge,
but
it's
over
a
a
runoff,
but
actually
is
a
bridge,
and
there
is
a
structural
component
to
it.
E
You
found
that
the
public
works
engineering
staff
worked
in
between
those
two
storms
trying
to
make
sure
or
confirm
that
the
structural
integrity
of
some
of
these
roadways
and
bridges
was
still
intact.
So
that
was
the
concern
and
then
trying
to
remove
the
mud
so
that
the
street
sweepers
could
come
by
and
do
you
know
their
work
to
clean
up?
The
roadways
knew
that
there
was
going
to
be
flooding
knew
that
there
was
going
to
be
large
amounts
of
debris
to
clean
up
after
the
storm
if
it
was
not
blocking
the
road.
E
It
was
not
something
that
we
handled
immediately
when
the
second
storm
ended
and,
throughout
the
course
of
yesterday,
the
question
became.
What
are
we
going
to
do
with
the
large
amount
of
debris?
That's
in
the
personal
homes,
and
can
we
start
taking
those
out
to
the
curb?
Can
we
start
messaging
that
we're
going
to
pick
that
material
up
immediately
and
how
was
that
going
to
occur?
E
Well,
what
we're
finding
and
not
surprising,
to
a
degree,
but
I
am
surprised
to
the
degree
that
we're
finding
this
public
works
staff
are
out
addressing
30
plus
sinkholes
throughout
the
community,
and
this
is
day
one
post
event.
So
we
fully
expect
that
that
possibility
is
going
to
increase.
You
know.
One
of
these
sinkholes
is
adjacent
to
one
of
the
railroads,
so
we're
working
in
combination
with
one
of
the
railroads
in
the
community.
E
I
fully
believe
that
the
different
entities
were
working
very
well
together
while
trying
to
handle
and
manage
their
own
disaster
event,
and
that's,
I
think,
the
right
way
to
call
this
what
we
are
doing
and
it's
something
that
many
of
the
elected
officials,
the
mayor,
said
something
early
sunday
morning
when
we
connected
is
the
bulk
pickup,
and
that
is
something
that
the
city
is
going
to
commence.
We've
already
been
messaging
this
starting
this
afternoon
needed
to
make
sure
that
I
had
the
blessing
of
the
elected
officials
assumed.
E
I
knew
the
answer,
but
it
was
still
a
step
that
needed
to
be
considered,
and
the
mayor
reached
out
to
you
guys.
I
was
part
of
those
responses,
so
felt
comfortable
that
we
were
going
to
message
and
do
this
pickup
as
a
special
bulk
pickup
event
for
free
of
charge.
It's
the
right
thing
to
do
by
the
community.
It's
the
direction,
the
leadership
of
the
council
that
they
gave
me
and
that's
something
that
will
start
on
july
6th,
so
that
is
tuesday
july
6th.
E
That's
something
that
we
will
definitely
message,
but
at
this
point
we
see
that
the
start
date
is
going
to
be
tuesday
july
6th.
That
also
gives
us
time
to
create
a
map.
Much
like
we
do
for
any
other
bulk
ways
to
pick
up
showing
the
different
parts
of
the
community
when
we're
going
to
be
in
your
neighborhood
and
we're
going
to
do
our
best
to
keep
up
with
that
messaging,
we're
very
fortunate.
E
You
talk
about
being
thrown
right
to
the
frying
pan,
our
new
communications
manager,
catherine
murphy
was,
and
she
did
an
excellent
job,
and
now
you
know
we'll
also
assess
what
our
responses
staff
was
to
this
event.
You
know
not
just
the
communication
piece,
but
also
the
employees
that
were
out
on
scene.
You
know
I
was
out
quite
a
bit
again.
As
I
know
many
of
you
were.
E
I
don't
even
know
the
young
man's
name,
but
I'm
down
at
the
bloomington
municipal
credit
union,
which
is
by
the
township
building
on
sunday
morning,
so
it
would
have
been
the
corner
of
gridley
in
east
jackson.
Jackson
he's
out
with
a
shovel
moving
that
dirt
working
his
way
to
the
storm
great
to
clean
that
out.
For
us,
I'm
sure
he
didn't
have
a
clue
who
I
was
but
rolled
down
the
window
and
gave
them
a
thumbs
up
for
helping
our
city
crews
that
are
definitely
overwhelmed.
E
So
I
know
that
there
might
be
comments
under
the
aldermanic
comments
and
the
mayor's
comments,
but
I
think
what
I
really
want
to
communicate
is
we
have
a
plan,
we're
working
that
plan.
That
plan
could
change
and
if
it
does
change,
we
will
communicate
that.
But
this
this
was
a
disaster
type
of
storm
and
health
and
safety
was
the
first
priority
we're
in
damage
assessment.
Now
that
will
continue
and
then
we're
going
to
be
rolling
into
the
cleanup
phase
again
no
cost
to
the
resident.
E
That's
something
that
the
council
very
much
and
I'm
talking
to
the
community
more,
so
that's
something
that
the
council
very
much
supported
and
that
will
kick
off
if
nothing
changes
tuesday
july
6
and
we
plan
on
that
being
a
two
possibly
a
three
week,
event
to
get
everything
cleaned
up
for
the
residents
definitely
more
to
come.
But
that's
what
I
can
report
at
this
point.
Thank
you
very
much
mayor.
A
Well,
thank
you
city
manager,
gleason,
for
providing
this
update
with
a
great
level
of
detail.
I
know
a
number
of
folks
in
in
the
community
were
waiting
to
to
find
out
what
is
staff's
assessment
of
what's
going
on
and
we
we
do
look
forward
to
you
know
further
assessment
from
the
staff.
I
I
want
to
thank
you
know
all
of
you.
A
You
know
the
staff,
you
know
who
worked
very
hard
during
these
last
couple
days
and
I'm
sure
will
continue
to
to
work
even
harder
over
the
next
couple
of
weeks
as
we
we
continue
to
to
clean
up.
This,
you
know
again,
like
you
said,
was
a
an
unprecedented
event
and-
and
I
have
the
the
perspective
of
having
been
in
other
places
where
we
would
be
talking
about
loss
of
life
in
a
situation
like
this.
H
H
Last
year
things
got
busy
and
a
little
crazy
with
covid,
but
you
know
the
yes.
This
was
a
500
year
event
for
storm
water,
but
unfortunately
this
is
a
kind
of
a
common
occurrence
for
a
bunch
of
the
residents
in
the
south
and
central
portions
of
the
city,
where
we
have
the
combined
sewers
in
stormwater.
So
you
know
if
we
could,
please
make
this
a
priority
to
get
this
presentation
done
and
revisit
that
plan
and
look
at
it
for
august.
H
I'd
appreciate
that,
on
a
positive
note,
the
one
positive
thing
that
I
had
for
the
weekend
is
that,
for
some
reason
the
sun
came
out
at
5
pm
and
pride.
Fest
happened
in
downtown
bloomington
and
even
people
that
I
know
their
houses
flooded
over
the
course
of
you
know
friday
to
saturday
still
came
out
and
celebrated,
and
it
was
amazing
event,
and
so
thank
you
to
jan
at
the
bistro
and
all
the
volunteers
that
she
corralled
together,
everybody
that
pulled
that
event
off.
H
O
O
C
So
I
also
you
know
I
don't
want
to
be
redundant,
but
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
folks.
I
I
talked
with
one
of
our
our
firefighters
and
he
told
me
that
the
number
of
calls
over
the
the
weekend,
it
was
anecdotal
right,
was
the
most
he'd
seen
in
his
career,
and
he
just
talked
about
the
number
of
rescues
and,
and
things
like
that.
C
That
were
just
amazing
to
me
how
much
they
were
able
to
accomplish.
So
I
think
that
needs
to
be
acknowledged.
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
also
the
the
comments
that
came
in
from
the
ward,
as
as
alderman
matthew
stated,
you
know,
I
talked
to
an
awful
lot
of
people
via
email
or
or
whatever,
whatever
method
they
wanted
and
there's
one
thing
that
you
mentioned,
or
I
think
city
manager
gleason
mentioned,
was
communication,
and
I
think
that's
something
that,
though
we
we
got
out
some
press
releases
about
what
we're
doing.
C
I
think
the
community
asked
very
clearly
when
talking
to
me
that
we
have
a
central
place
for
updates,
so
that,
when
things
like
this
happen,
we
know,
and
in
that
central
place
it
needs
to
not
just
say
hey
what
we're
doing.
But
this
is
what
you,
as
a
community
community
member,
should
do
if
you're
seeing
problem
a
don't
report
it
we
got
it
under
control,
just
wait.
If
you're
seeing
problem
b
or
there's
anything
urgent,
take
these
steps
call
this
number
go.
C
They
wanted
more
specific
instructions
as
to
how
they
could
respond
than
I
think
they
had
at
that
moment.
So
I
think
that's
something
we
should
really
look
at,
because
people
will
rally
if
they
have
the
right
leadership
and
the
right
information
in
front
of
them.
So
if
we
can
find
a
little
more
information
for
them,
I
think
that
would
be
great.
C
I've
had
an
uncountable
number
of
comments
on
that
lately,
where
everyone
is
very,
very
concerned
with
our
our
future
vote
on
that
I
have
yet
to
find
one
person
that
was
in
favor
of
it,
of
reducing
the
the
collections
and
I've
even
had
multiple
people
reach
out
to
say
that
they
were.
You
know,
okay,
with
paying
in
some
situations
even
more,
so
I
think
they're
encouraging
us
very
much
to
find
a
a
different
way
to
approach
that
financial
challenge.
So
that's
what
I'm
seeing
and
that's
all
for
now.
S
Hi,
I
briefly
just
want
to
also
thank
the
public
works
employees
for
the
work.
This
weekend.
I
had
a
compliment
on
one
who
met
with
a
resident
on
saturday,
and
she
was
really
grateful
for
the
sensitivity
and
the
good
ideas
that
the
employee
shared
with
her.
So
I
appreciate
that,
and
also
thanks
to
the
people
of
bloomington
for
helping
each
other.
Over
this
weekend,
there
were
some
wonderful
stories
of
neighbors
helping
neighbors
and
that's
a
testament
to
this
community
that
we
live
in.
N
What
resources
can
they
tap
into,
or
you
know
I
know
we
have
posted
about
the
covid
relief
funds
that
we've
made
available,
but
any
other
funds
that
folks
could
maybe
look
into
if
they've
incurred
just
major
expenses
over
the
last
couple
of
days.
That
would
be
helpful
and
then
happy
bride.
Everyone
pride
was
great
fun
as
always.
D
So
that
will
also
aggravate
when
there's
flooding
on
the
street
and
then
also
I
notice
with
calls
and
emails
and
even
on
facebook.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
that
are
not
very
informed
about
our
solid
waste
and
bulk
waste
process
and
program,
and
when
we
do
begin
to
talk
about
it
in
the
future,
I
would
like
to
get
some
some
of
the
clarification
and
facts
out
there,
so
that
the
community
has
a
better
understanding
of
what
what
actually
is
provided.
I
Well,
thank
you.
You
know
just
to
echo
all
the
appreciation
that's
been
expressed
so
far.
You
know,
particularly
it
was
my
understanding
that
our
our
firefighters
and
emergency
services
folks
rescue
people
in
cars,
I
think
someone
in
somebody
or
several
people
in
an
elevator
and
even
some
family
businesses.
So
I
just
am
so
appreciative
to
have
that
group
of
first
responders
working
for
us.
Like
several
other
people
who
have
spoken
this
evening.
