C
A
Thank
you
very
much.
We're
gonna
go
ahead
and
start
with
our
recognitions
and
appointments.
The
first
is
a
proclamation
declaring
Central
Catholic
High
School
2017
as
a
national,
Blue,
Ribbon,
School
and
I
wonder
if
I
could
have
our
very
own
state
representative,
Dan
Brady
come
forward
as
well
as
Jim
throwin,
former
city
councilman
Jim.
D
A
E
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
I
mr.
Foster
on
offer
my
congratulations.
First
off
along
with
former
councilman
Jim.
From
what
year
did
you
graduate
from
Central
Catholic
High
School,
mr.
firoun,
1969
and
I?
Am
a
honored
graduate
of
1979
I?
Don't
know
why
you
hook
younger
than
I
do
but
anyway,
from
the
Illinois
House
of
Representatives
mr.
Foster,
and
an
entire
staff
and
student
body
at
Central,
Catholic,
High
School.
E
I
will
not
be
redundant
but
I'll
simply
say
on
behalf
that
the
Illinois
General
Assembly,
resolved
by
the
House
of
Representatives
of
the
100th
General
Assembly
of
the
state
of
Illinois,
that
we
congratulate
Central,
Catholic
High
School
on
its
2017
national
Blue,
Ribbon,
School
recognition,
and
we
recognize
the
dedication
of
the
faculty
and
staff
into
its
students
and
be
further
resolved.
That
a
suitable
copy
of
this
resolution
be
pers.
Then
an
into
principle.
Mr.
Sean
foster
of
Central
Catholic
High
School
has
an
expression
of
our
esteem
and
respect.
E
G
Wanted
to
take
a
brief
moment
to
thank
this
council
in
this
community.
One
of
the
things
that
I
shared
with
our
students
a
week
ago
at
we
had
a
ceremony
at
school,
is
that
it
is
the
work
in
support
of
our
predecessors
that
have
allowed
us
to
be
a
national
Blue.
Ribbon
School
this
year
and
I
would
extend
those
words
to
this
community
without
your
support
and
without
your
help,
it
wouldn't
be
possible.
Bloomington
is
known
for
great
education
and
we're
proud
to
partner
with
you
guys
in
that
endeavor.
So
thank
you
guys
very
much.
G
A
A
Okay,
and
just
as
we
may
have
had
a
few
people
lead,
we
might
be
able
to
accommodate
a
few
more
who've
come
in
I.
Think
we've
had
a
few
people
leave
for
recognitions.
If
you
can
let
some
of
the
people
know
that
they
can
on
the
outside.
We
want
I
think
we
might
have
a
couple
of
seats
actually
in
the
front
row,
we
have
four
seats
in
the
front
row
for
people
to
come
forward.
Okay,
I,
don't
know
who
the
usher
will
be,
but
we
still
have
a
few
more
seats.
A
A
On
the
City
Council,
we
will
have
a
special
meeting
of
the
Bloomington
City
Council
in
December
to
discuss
a
possible
resolution
as
a
welcoming
city,
and
we
certainly
invite
you
to
participate
in
that
as
well
and
depending
upon
the
outcome
of
those
discussions
of
our
of
the
City
Council,
we
will
add
a
meeting
shortly
thereafter
vote
on
a
resolution
for
Bloomington
as
a
as
a
welcoming
City
anyway.
So
at
this
point,
what
I
we
have
way
more
than
the
number
of
people
who
can
speak
within
a
half
an
hour,
and
that
is
the
time.
A
I
will
record
this
as
711.
So
I
would
ask
you
as
much
as
possible
to
when
you
come
forward
to
make
points
that
have
not
been
made
already
or
or
perhaps
just
reinforce
them,
and
I
will
call
these
in
groups
of
three
so
that
we
can
be
as
expeditious
as
possible
to
get
as
many
people
to
speak,
and
we
can
hear
from
as
many
of
you
as
you
can
now
actually
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
because
I'm
gonna
I
want
to
make
this
another
minute.
A
If
you
specifically
want
to
talk
to
me-
and
you
want
I
still
have
our
mayor's
open
houses,
actually
they
are
one-on-one
meetings.
They
are
every
Friday
before
a
regular,
Monday
City
Council
meeting
this
past
week
because
of
Thanksgiving.
It
was
a
Wednesday,
but
that's
extremely
unusual.
A
It's
almost
always
Friday
from
4:30
to
5:30
and
feel
free
to
sign
up
or
just
come
on
by
between
4:30
and
5:30,
and
sometimes
I
can
get
you
answers
or
solve
problems
in
real
time,
and
we
can
certainly
have
a
conversation
at
that
point
when
it
comes
to
public
comment,
our
practices
not
to
respond
okay.
So
at
this
point,
I'm
going
to
start
with
Patricia
Martin
and
then
Glen,
Ludwig
and
Jeff
Crowell
Krave,
oh,
is
that
a
Cray
bill?
A
H
Winter
is
now
here
and
I'm
most
concerned
about
the
location
of
bus
stops
near
our
local
hospitals.
Roman,
for
example,
has
a
long
upward
road
leading
from
the
bus
stop
at
University
to
the
main
hospital
entrance,
and
it
is
difficult
to
manage
in
the
summer
impossible
for
people
like
me.
In
the
winter,
the
hospital
has
redone
an
area
nearby
intended
from
the
disabled,
but
for
disabled
with
access
to
cars.
Why
can't
we
add
another
stop
on
Virginia,
where
the
original
stop
was
located.
H
Little
orthopedic
and
fitness
center
near
the
airport
likewise
requires
a
long
walk
from
the
bus
stop
once
more
across
a
large
parking
area
to
the
entrance.
This
will
be
equally
difficult
to
manage,
especially
when
covered
with
ice
and
snow
and
I
wouldn't
even
try
to
do
it.
However,
the
center
has
told
me
that
they
would
be
willing
to
have
a
bus
stub
near
their
front
door.
H
Os
F
has
somewhat
shorter
walks
to
the
hospital
from
the
north
and
south
sides,
but
once
more
across
busy
streets
and
with
no
streetlights
there's
a
parking
lot
on
the
south
side
and
another
sloping
driveway
leading
to
the
street
on
the
north
side
to
manage.
In
addition,
the
public
library
no
longer
has
any
bus
stops
nearby.
None
yet
again,
patrons
must
deal
with
ferocious
traffic
on
East
Street
turn
right
to
cross
more
parking
lots
and
go
down.
H
Another
slope
into
a
darkened
entrance
I
think
the
recent
suggestions
that
a
new
library
location
be
found
should
be
most
beneficial.
I
have
talked
to
connect,
connect,
connect,
transit
and
our
city
officials
about
this
at
meetings
and
receptions
and
I
appreciate
Isaac
Thorne's
willingness
to.
Let
us
speak
together,
but
these
issues
still
exist.
Transit
and
city
authorities
and
institution
manager
should
meet
to
discuss
and
work
out
plans
that
will
be
less
unnerving
for
our
bus
and
pedestrian
populations.
Please.
Finally,
the
front
Street
area
that
shelters
need
to
be
clean
more
frequently.
H
The
cubicles
are
often
used
for
purposes
other
than
those
for
which
they
were
intended,
as
are
the
bushes
behind
the
latter.
Also
serving
as
repositories
for
garbage
again,
the
removal
of
these
bushes
has
been
discussed
on
several
occasions
by
city
and
bus
authorities
and
patrons
mr.
Rasmussen.
However,
does
an
excellent
job
of
cleaning
up
the
area
two
years
ago
for
the
Jazz,
Fest
and
I
also
want
to
offer
my
very
best
wishes
to
mr.
Rasmussen
and
his
new
new
position?
H
I
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
the
City
Council
members,
Glen
Ludwig
23
our
story
away.
I'll
try
to
make
this
real,
quick.
This
evenings
meeting
I
believed,
might
become
a
training
ground
for
the
future.
I
say
that,
because
I
know
that
you've
got
a
very
challenging
budgeting
process
ahead
of
you
and
I
think
that
that
that's
going
to
cause
a
need,
create
a
need
for
priority
establishment
and
tough
decisions,
and
that's
what
I
wanted
to
talk
about.
Then
I've
got
some
questions.
I
I
Moving
on
to
small
business
development,
you've
got
a
action
to
take
there
and
I
think
it's
an
opportunity
for
you
to
with
regards
to
showing
where
you
stand
as
a
city
and
town,
neighborhood
or
metropolitan
area,
because
you've
got
a
chance
of
of
kind
of
taken,
the
let's
kiss
and
hug
and
get
along
or
you've
got
a
chance
of
well,
let's
stick
them
again
and
create
a
little
more
war.
I
just
hope
that
that
you
decide
to
meet
in
the
middle
somewhere.
I
Another
item
which
caught
my
eye
is
a
brick
Street
restoration,
the
commitment
of
time
and
money
into
going
through
this
multiples.
Many
page
studies
that
have
been
done
on
this
particular
project
must
have
a
six-figure
or
more
cost
brick
streets
kind
of
to
me,
as
a
looking
back
versus
looking
towards
the
future
situation,
I
think
that
I,
don't
I,
don't
support
the
idea,
although
I
know
I'm,
maybe
in
the
minority
I
think
it
creates
kind
of
a
privileged
neighborhood
and
I'm,
not
sure.
That's,
that's
good.
I
Iii,
really
wonder.
I
understand
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
effort
put
into
this,
but
I
wonder
why
we
make
it
or
making
decisions
about
this
in
a
time
frame
where
the
you
don't
even
have
the
money
budgeted
to
do
that
with
that
I'll
sit
down
and
give
somebody
else
a
little
bot
time.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
J
They
were
feel
fearful
because
they
heard
the
ice
director
says
say
that
undocumented
immigrants
should
live
in
fear,
there's
been
a
three-fold
increase
in
what
is
called
non
criminal
detentions
since
Donald
Trump
has
been
elected
and
that's
why
I
support
a
welcoming
city
ordinance
and
that's
what
I'm
here
to
promote
and
I?
Think
it's
important
to
note.
J
I
know
that
the
council
is
working
on
this
from
a
from
a
legal
basis
as
well,
but
the
ordinance
would
still
it
would
still
allow
the
city
to
honor,
federal
and
state
law,
with
continued
compliance
with
any
lawfully
mandated
activities,
but
would
not
voluntarily
cooperate
with
ice
or
CBP
in
any
way.
I
know
maybe
there's
a
risk
that
the
Department
of
Justice
would
come
after
Bloomington
as
it
has
with
the
city
of
Chicago,
but
I
think
the
undocumented
immigrants
in
this
town
deserve
that
this
town
take
a
risk.
Thank
you.
Thank.
K
K
As
someone
who
sees
these
challenges,
firsthand
I
want
to
urge
us
to
go
forward
as
a
progressive
and
compassionate
City
and
make
sure
all
of
our
residents
from
all
countries
know
we
value
them
both
as
citizens
of
Bloomington
and
of
this
country.
I
am
a
member
of
the
first
social
justice
committee
for
district
87
and
one
of
my
colleagues
and
members
of
that
committee.
Kim
Tabor
was
quoted
in
the
pantograph
when
district
87
earlier
this
year
put
forth
a
welcoming
school
resolution.
K
She
said
it
means
a
lot
that
the
resolution
was
so
strongly
supported
by
the
board.
We
want
to
see
the
students
feel
successful
in
a
country
where
they
don't
often
get
that
message
to
hear
it
straight
from
the
district
is
powerful.
Many
of
my
students,
I,
don't
think
realized
what
can
happen
to
their
parents
or
what
could
happen
to
them.
They
see
themselves
and
we
talk
about
what
they
want
to
be
when
they
grow
up.
K
L
My
name
is
Christina
Deutsch
and
I
am
an
immigrant
who
came
to
the
United
States
in
1964,
from
Bolivia
in
South
America,
when
I
moved
to
Bloomington,
because
I
married
a
bloomin
onion.
The
city
was
very
welcoming
very
appealing
and
very
made
me
part
of
it.
I
never
felt
discriminated
or
not.
None
wanted
in
I
was
privileged
to
work
in
a
community
center
where
they
have
a
program
to
welcome
immigrants
and
help
them
adjust
to
the
United.
L
So
Bloomington
has
always
been
a
welcoming
community,
however,
because
of
the
immigration
laws
are
so
far
behind
people
don't
know
that
you
cannot
apply
for
a
job,
employment
authorization
and
there's
waiting
lists
by
people
that
have
petitioned
their
family
members
long
long
years
and
years,
20
30
years
in
so
we
do
have
the
workers
that
we
need
working
in
our
community
undocumented
in
many,
are
well
assimilated.
Working
in
paying
taxes,
however,
they
are
sometimes
stopped
for
driving
without
a
license
and
because
ice
has
to
deport
so
many
people.
L
They
come
and
get
him
and
they
keep
him
for
three
weeks.
A
mother
and
I
know
many
of
them.
A
mother
of
small
children
was
taken
away.
We
couldn't
find
her
18
year
old,
who
never
had
any
criminal
charges
was
taken
away
and
the
Paras
were
devastated.
We
didn't
know
where
she
was
so
these
are
people
that
are
not
criminals.
L
Definitely,
we
want
police
to
definitely
take
the
criminals
out
of
our
area,
but
if
they
ask,
if
they
act
like
ice,
then
people
are
afraid
of
our
policemen
and
they're
not
going
to
report
and
they're
not
going
to
protect
themselves,
so
the
Coalition
for
keeping
families
together.
We
are
asking
the
city
to
please
some
pass,
the
ordinance
of
being
a
welcoming
committee
and
could
I
ask
everybody
that
supports
this
ordinance.
Stand
up
me!
M
Thank
you,
I'm
Tom
Cullen
I
live
at
Sun
Point
Court
in
Bloomington
I'm,
the
chairperson
of
the
steering
committee
for
the
central
Illinois
chapter
of
the
ACLU,
and
it's
on
that
and
that
role
that
I'm
appearing
to
you
this
evening.
Our
steering
committee
urges
you
to
pass
a
welcoming
city
ordinance
as
soon
as
possible
and
I'd
like
to
briefly
explain
our
reasoning
for
this
support.
Our
steering
committee
signed
on
to
support
the
welcoming
city
ordinance
presented
by
the
keep
families
together
coalition
last
spring.
M
The
dangers
presented
by
the
Trump
administration's
deportation
rhetoric
was
evident
to
our
committee
before
the
inauguration.
The
ACLU
has
a
long
history
of
standing
up
for
the
rights
of
immigrants
in
1920,
the
ACLU
stood
up
to
then
attorney
general
Palmer's
campaign
of
harassment
and
deportation
against
so-called
politically
radical
immigrants
in
1942,
the
ACLU
stood
up
again
against
our
government's
internment
of
Japanese
Americans.
More
recently,
the
ACLU
has
taken
stands
against
police
profiling
and
immigration.
Bans
based
on
the
primary
religion
of
the
country
of
origin.
M
The
ACL
u--'s
position
on
this
issue
is
based
in
part
upon
the
14th
amendment.
The
14th
amendment
guarantees
due
process
when
suffering
a
deprivation
of
life,
liberty
or
property
and
equal
protection
of
laws
to
all
persons,
not
only
citizens.
The
Equal
Protection
Clause
has
been
interpreted
by
the
Supreme
Court
to
include
protection
from
discrimination
on
the
basis
of
suspect
classifications,
including
race,
national
origin
and
immigration
status.
So
nationally,
the
ACLU
has
recently
launched
its
freedom
cities
campaign
with
model
policies
and
rules
suggested
for
making
communities
more
welcoming
and
immigrant
friendly
within
our
state.
M
The
ACLU
of
Illinois
has
given
its
explicit
support
to
our
steering
committees:
participation
in
this
coalition.
We
have
members
of
this
community
who
are
scared
to
call
the
police.
We
have
children
who
go
to
school
in
this
community,
who
are
scared
that
their
mother
or
father
will
not
be
there
when
they
get
home.
This
isn't
who
we
are,
or
at
least
it's
not
who
we
used
to
be
until
very
recently
and
I.
Don't
remember,
being
asked
to
vote
that
change
to
our
national
identity
and
our
character
as
a
nation
of
immigrants
primarily
and
their
descendants.
N
Again,
I'm
Julian
Western
out
of
East
Monroe
Street
I'm
here
tonight,
primarily
to
talk
to
you
about
brick
streets
got
up
this
morning
and
was
feeling
nostalgic
in
January
2007.
My
wife
and
I
purchased
our
house
on
East
Monroe
Street
and,
in
that
cold
day
of
closing,
I
stood
in
the
middle
of
Monroe
Street
and
I
clicked
the
photograph
heading,
one
direction
up
the
street
and
a
photograph
heading
down
the
street.
The
other
direction.
N
I
looked
at
those
photographs
this
morning
and
the
difference
between
that
Street
ten
years
ago,
ten
and
a
half
years
ago-
and
today
is
what
dramatic
and
then
I
thought
about
it.
You
know
I
thought
gosh.
This
street
has
really
degraded
more
than
it
should
have
and
I
thought
about
the
process
where
I
went
before
the
Historic,
Preservation
Commission
and
then
the
Planning
Commission
eight
years
ago,
when
we
were
trying
to
get
a
brick
streets
plan
passed
which
did
not
ultimately
get
adopted
by
the
city
and
I
thought.
N
You
know
a
lot
of
the
damage
to
our
street
and
to
the
brick
streets
throughout
the
community.
The
ones
that
are
left
are
because
we
have
had
no
policy
from
the
city
on
how
these
things
should
progress,
so
as
the
street
has
degraded,
as
there
have
been
repairs.
As
things
have
happened,
the
street
has
been
patched.
It
has
not
been
maintained
properly
and
we're
in
that
situation,
and
our
streets
are
in
poor
condition.
I
think
that
the
plan
that
has
been
put
forth
and
has
been
developed
is
an
extremely
good
plan.
N
That's
very
well
thought-out
that
ranked
streets
on
their
need,
and
it
is
certainly
not
something
that,
unlike
the
plan
from
eight
years
ago,
which
was
sort
of
based
a
lot
on
neighborhoods,
this
is
really
on
needs,
and
indeed,
where
I
live
on
East
Monroe
Street.
It
is
not
a
fancy
neighborhood,
it's
a
it's
a
very
oh,
it's
one
of
the
oldest
streets
in
town,
as
I've
told
you
before
it
was
originally
North
Street
planted
in
1834.
N
It's
it's
got
a
lot
of
history
there,
but
it's
very
much
a
working-class
neighborhood
with
a
lot
of
interesting
houses
and
a
lot
of
interesting
people.
But
what
you
have
before
you
is
a
really
good
plan,
and
certainly
it
comes
with
costs.
I
would
also,
if
you've
read
your
packet,
you
notice
that
a
lot
of
those
costs
are
for
things
beyond
the
brick
streets.
You
know
this
if,
if
the
brick
streets
in
in
our
case
are
done,
it
also
involves
things
like
replacing
the
water
main.
N
You
know,
which
is
something
that
certainly
is
going
to
have
to
be
done
sooner
or
later.
It
certainly
makes
sense
if
you're
going
to
reconstruct
a
brick
street
to
replace
the
water
main,
but
that
is
a
large
portion
of
this
one
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
plus
dollars.
Sidewalks
curb
cuts
all
of
these
sorts
of
things.
It's
a
reconstruction,
but
again
I
would
remind
you
that
our
brick
street
dates
to
the
1920s
and
has
basically
seen
virtually
no
maintenance
in
those
ninety
years,
and
this
is
something
that
is
worth
doing.
N
It's
worth
doing
and
worth
doing
right
and
I
urge
you
to
adopt
it
and
to
provide
funding
at
the
very
least
for
maintenance
and
really
keep
those
three
and
a
half
miles
of
streets
in
good
shape
as
much
as
they
can
going
forward
at
all.
So,
in
my
last
five
seconds
like
to
say
that
as
the
child
of
immigrants
and
I
strongly
support
the
welcoming
cities
to
reso
organized.
Thank.
A
O
Hi,
my
name
is
Clarissa
Kasner.
This
is
my
daughter,
Vera
and
my
husband,
Gabriel
human,
is,
is
over
there
taking
pictures.
We
are
here
today
to
speak
as
community
members
and
members
of
IPA
that
we
would
like
to
also
support
the
welcoming
city
ordinance.
We
speak
out
because
we've
personally
lived
through
the
immigration
system.
It
is
a
broken
system,
there's
a
lot
of
great
area,
so
my
husband
status
was
uncertain
for
almost
two
years.
O
He
you
know,
even
though
I'm
a
citizen,
and
we
also
have
dreamers
in
our
community
who,
little
by
little
their
statuses,
are
becoming
kind
of
in
that
gray
area.
Now
we
can
kind
of
hide
behind
the
term
illegal,
but
people
have
mentioned
that
there
been
things
in
our
past
in
United
States.
That
legal
doesn't
always
mean
it's
the
moral
thing
to
do
so.
It's
definitely
not
the
moral
thing
to
do
to
separate
families
or
to
even
have
families
living
in
fear.
O
I
know
we
say
that
our
police
don't
work
with
immigration,
but
I
know
in
this
last
year,
I
people
have
been
asked
about
their
last
name,
so
maybe
they
should.
The
police
should
call
immigration
because
of
the
last
name,
they've
been
asked
where
they
are
born
and
with
those
experiences
being
shared
around
people
are
afraid
to
go
to
the
police.
When
something
happens,
I
was
encouraged
not
to
press
charges
against
an
attempted
assault,
because
my
husband
was
going
through
immigration,
so
those
are
things
that
are
really
happening
in
Bloomington.
O
That
I'd
like
to
just
say
that
I'd
like
to
change
it
breaks
my
heart
when
people
would
call
me
and
ask
me,
does
my
driver's
license?
Is
that
still
valid
now
can
am
I
safe
to
drive
my
children
to
school?
It
breaks
my
heart
to
see
my
friends
when
there's
a
knock
at
the
door.
It
breaks
my
heart
just
to
know
that
they
won't
stand
up
and
say
they've
been
a
victim
of
a
crime
here,
just
because
of
that
fear
so
I.
O
Thank
you
guys
very
much
for
the
work
that
you
do
and
I
know
that
maybe
the
ordinance
has
taken
a
while
to
come
about.
We've
been
talking
about
it
for
almost
a
year
now,
and
there
are
families
still
living
in
fear.
I
know
that
you
know
meetings
are
a
month
away
a
month
away,
but
each
of
those
months
there's
people
that
do
live
in
fear,
there's
dreamers
that
are
falling
into
that
gray
area
and
so
I
would
just
really
like
to
see
Bloomington
be
a
welcoming
city
where
everyone
can
feel
safe
in
their
town.
O
Good
evening
my
name
is
Charlotte
Alvarez
I'm,
the
executive
director
and
a
staff
attorney
at
the
immigration
project,
members
of
the
City
Council
I'm,
asking
for
your
leadership
and
urging
you
to
pass
a
welcoming
city
ordinance.
The
states
in
clear,
simple,
concise
terms
that
our
city
will
not
spend
its
resources
on
immigration
enforcement
that
tears
our
communities
apart
being
undocumented,
is
actually
not
a
crime.
It
is
a
federal
civil
violation
like
federal
copyright
law
or
some
forms
of
corporate
tax
evasion.
Enforcement
of
civil
immigration.
O
Laws,
which
are
harsh,
complex,
full
of
extreme
consequences,
are
best
left
to
federal
functions,
should
not
be
performed
or
engaged
in
in
any
way
but
I
by
our
local
law
enforcement.
In
fact,
any
connection
on
any
level
between
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
ice
undermines
trust
with
undocumented
immigrant
community.
A
welcoming
city
ordinance
increases
Public
Safety
by
fostering
that
trust
and
cooperation
between
police
and
the
immigrant
community
that
they
are
here
to
serve
every
day.
Individuals
in
this
community
are
deciding
whether
to
avoid
the
police
or
cooperate
with
them.
You
may
not
see
them.
O
Bloomington
Police
Department
may
not
see
them,
but
we
had
the
immigration
project
see
them.
We
know
individuals
are
much
less
likely
to
report
crimes.
If
there's
any
chance,
it
will
put
them
or
their
relatives
in
danger
of
the
portation.
If
the
Bloomington
Police
Department
is
able
to
decide
to
cooperate
with
ice
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
there
will
continue
to
be
a
reasonable
fear
in
those
immigrant
communities
that
reporting
crimes
will
result
in
deportations.
We
need
to
get
rid
of
that
fear.
We
need
a
clear
bright
line
rule
separating
our
police
from
immigration
officials.
O
Approximately
one
in
ten
children
in
Illinois
is
a
US
citizen
living
with
at
least
one
undocumented
family
member.
If
one
of
those
children
witnessed
a
crime
or
was
the
victim
of
a
crime,
do
you
really
want
them
to
feel
they
have
to
choose
between
doing
the
right
thing,
reporting
in
that
crime
or
turning
in
their
family
or
keeping
them
together?
A
welcome
city
ordinance
is
needed
and
it
is
legal.
Under
our
system
of
federalism
enshrined
in
the
US
Constitution
federal
government
cannot
force
local
officials
to
perform
federal
functions.
O
Several
other
cities
across
the
state,
from
Skokie
to
Carbondale,
have
passed
similar
ordinances
when
the
executive
branch
has
challenged
these
policies
in
larger
cities,
not
in
smaller
communities
they
lose.
Just
two
weeks
ago,
the
federal
court
ruled
in
in
Philadelphia
that
these
policies
were
legal
I'm,
not
saying
there's
no
risk
at
all
to
our
city,
but
sometimes
what
is
a
little
risky
is
also
right.
O
Just
and
legal
s,
any
council
members,
you
decide
if
ice
will
receive
our
the
help
of
our
police
in
tearing
families
apart
or
if
our
police
will
stand
up
for
our
families
and
tell
ice
to
do
their
own
jobs.
You
decide
if
sexual
assault
will
continue
to
be
unreported.
It's
on
you
and
if
you
do
nothing,
that
is
a
decision
to
thank.
P
Q
Laurie
Berkner
from
502
Blair,
drive-in,
normal
and
I'm
here
as
a
board
member
of
the
League
of
Women
Voters
of
McLean
County,
so
the
League
of
Women
Voters
in
McLean
County,
has
based
its
support
of
the
welcoming
city's
ordinance
on
the
League
of
Women
Voters
u.s.
position
on
immigration.
The
League
of
Women
Voters
of
the
US
president
Chris
Carson,
has
stated
the
following:
the
League
of
Women
Voters
is
opposed
to
deportation
of
non-criminal
undocumented
immigrants.
Q
The
league
supports
cities,
towns,
counties
and
states
that
makes
a
decision
not
to
cooperate
with
federal
deportation
and
enforcement
actions
that
include
non
criminal,
undocumented
immigrants.
Moreover,
the
Trump
administration's
orders
of
are
of
dubious
legality
kind.
Words
are
great.
We
can
say
that
we're
welcoming,
but
in
combination
with
policy
that
is
much
much
more
effective.
That
really
is
what
matters
and
it's
much
more
meaningful.
Q
R
O
O
They
were
still
afraid
every
time
he
were
to
go
to
work
and
it
just
it.
It
just
creates
you
know.
Lifelong
trauma
for
these
families
and
I've
also
witnessed
a
lot
of
people,
not
reporting
sexual
assault
and
domestic
violence
for
fear
that,
because
they're
undocumented
a
lot
of
times,
their
abusers
will
use
their
undocumented
status
against
them
and
then
they're
afraid
to
call
the
police
and
so
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
all
know
that
I'm
in
support
of
this
ordinance
thank.
S
Good
evening
buenas
noches,
my
name
is
Maura
Thoreau,
Morin
and
I
come
to
you
as
an
educator
in
our
community.
I
am
a
native
of
Puerto
Rico.
Our
community
prides
itself
and
for
good
reason,
with
two
first-rate
universities
to
community
colleges
and
a
host
of
high
ranked
state
schools.
Last
semester
I
introduced
my
students
to
the
stories
of
several
documented
students
from
Atlanta
Georgia.
One
in
particular
was
heartbreaking.
In
fact,
she
was
featured
in
the
front
page
of
the
New
York
Times
as
well.
Her
name
is
indy
de
islas.
S
Indeed,
us
threw
herself
into
her
studies
because
she
wanted
to
be
like
her
parents,
a
doctor,
her
parents,
both
doctors
had
escaped
violence
of
the
native
state
of
guerrero.
She
was
a
4.0
high,
achieving
student,
but
as
she
began
to
contemplate
the
transition
from
high
school
to
college,
she
realized
that
the
dream
of
becoming
the
doctor
was
in
jeopardy.
She
could
not
attend
any
other
state
schools
in
Georgia,
because
a
state
bar
undocumented
students
from
attending
the
state
schools
she
worked
really
hard
and
find
out
what
she
could
to
become
a
doctor.
S
After
a
lot
of
struggles
and
through
a
program
funded
by
private
efforts,
she
was
able
to
find
a
primarily
African,
University
Delaware
State
in
Dover,
who
welcomed
her
with
open
arms.
In
fact,
28
other
students
went
also
to
the
Delaware
State
University
that
most
cherished
to
the
transition
of
taking
your
child
to
get
settled
in
college
with
the
deny
to
her
parents,
because
they
too
were
undocumented.
They
could
not
afford
to
drive
that
farm
in
the
earth.
S
Parents
are
part
of
hard-working
highly
educated
Mexican
immigrants
who
now
live
in
the
shadows
and
soon
Indira
will
leave
in
the
shadows
as
well
because
of
the
regressive
and
unjust
immigration
policies
of
the
current
administration.
Yet
even
from
the
shadows,
they
managed
to
contribute
to
their
communities
by
raising
their
children
to
believe.
In
the
American
dream,
yesterday,
I
opened
the
first
page
of
the
New
York
Times
to
learn
that
there
has
been
an
arrest
surge
in
the
state
of
Georgia
Atlanta.
In
particular,
the
picture
caption
in
the
New
York
Times
is
actually
of
a
man.
S
David
Martinez
who,
for
all
accounts
and
purposes
could
be
India's
father.
It
used
to
be
the
federal
guidelines
focus
only
on
serious
criminals.
Now
the
Trump
administration
has
raised
those
guidelines
allowing
eyes
to
arrest
and
deport
anyone.
This
is
unacceptable,
is
unjust
and
is
outright
an
American.
I
am
here
to
ask
you
to
send
a
message
around
the
world
and
to
the
nation
by
your
actions,
stay
to
the
world
loud
and
clear
in
our
community.
Our
wealth
is
measured
by
how
much
we
care
for
each
other.
S
Our
wealth
is
calculated
by
how
we
invest
in
each
other's
well-being.
Our
wealth
is
determined
by
how
we
embrace
our
diversity
and
the
polarity
of
our
lives
say
to
the
world
and
to
the
US
loud
and
clear
that
we're
not
going
to
submit
to
guidelines
that
are
capricious
and
intended
to
hurt
our
neighbors,
our
families,
our
friends,
our
children.
Please
support
the
welcoming
city
ordinance.
A
To
make
it
clear
that
we
will
be
discussing
this
at
a
special
session
in
December
with
several
different
options
and
want
to
make
sure
that,
obviously
you
all
stay
involved,
and
at
some
point
after
that,
I
can't
promise
a
specific
date.
When
we
would
ask
when
we
would
act
it,
some
of
it
will
depend
on
what
the
nature
of
the
discussion
would
be
on
in
in
December.
Some
of
would
also
depend
on
what
are
the
things
that
we
have
between
now
and
the
end
of
the
year,
but
I
as
I
have
said
before
many
times.
A
I
do
strongly
support
a
welcoming
city
ordinance
as
the
mayor
and
everybody
should
be
welcome
and
should
feel
safe.
Thank
you
at
this
point.
Were
I'd
like
us
to.
We
need
to
move
on
to
our
consent
agenda,
and
you
are
all
certainly
welcome
to
stay.
Although
the
consent
agenda
is
really
riveting,
we
may
have
some
interesting,
so
we
have
consent.
Are
there
any
items
that
any
member
of
the
Bloomington
City
Council?
Sorry.
T
A
P
P
Counsel,
Jeff
Juergen
help
me
put
this
together
and
really
it's
very
simple,
I,
don't
know:
if
does
everybody
have
this
copy
of
this
okay?
Good
Diana?
Do
you
have
it?
Okay,
all
right,
good,
okay,
and
what
basically
the
the
change
is.
You
know,
rather
than
simply
where
it
says
no
manager
pro
tempore,
however,
may
appoint
will
remove
a
department
director
have
asked
Jeff
to
add
or
any
other
employee
that
reports
directly
to
the
city
manager
pro
tempore,
because
I
I
thought
you
know
it
was
kind
of
reflective
of
the
conversations
that
we
we've
had
before.
P
A
A
A
U
There
it
if
I,
could
make
a
comment
that
since
I
am
involved
in
this
I
appreciate
that
friendly
amendment
and
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
both
here
in
this
position
and
in
the
three
cities,
where
I've
been
us
city
administrator
I,
never
would
consider
doing
anything
opposite
to
this
anyway,
have
always
consulted
with
City
Council
and
always
will
and
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
so
much
Steve.
Okay.
At
this
point,
we
move
on
to
our
regular
agenda
that
apparently
isn't
quite
as
exciting,
given
the
nature
of
the
audience
inside
the
audience.
We
move
on
to
item
eight,
a
consideration
of
a
resolution
approving
the
Small
Business
Development
Center,
funding
agreement
between
the
city
of
Bloomington,
the
town
of
normal
and
the
Bloomington
Normal
Economic
Development
Council
and
Illinois
Wesleyan,
University
and
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
mr.
Graham.
W
Well,
good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
we
last
discussed
this
topic
last
week
at
exciting
Committee
of
the
Whole
meeting
last
week,
and
it's
back
on
the
agenda
tonight.
As
you
advise
staff
at
last
week's
meeting
staff
recommends
that
the
city
financially
support
the
iaws
VDC
on
the
city's
economic
development.
Strategic
plan
emphasizes
the
importance
of
supporting
regional
economic
development
efforts,
including
a
small
business
development
center
with
the
goal
of
assisting
startup
and
the
development
of
new
businesses
in
the
community.
W
Also
at
last
week's
committee
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
staff
was
directed
to
prepare
the
funding
agreement
with
two
different
options,
and
there
are
two
potential
recommended
motions
for
the
council
to
consider
option.
One
is
a
50/50
split
between
the
city
and
the
town
of
normal
for
the
funding
of
the
municipal
portion
of
the
joint
funding
of
the
SBDC
option.
Two
is
a
60/40
split.
W
There
is
a
slight
typo
in
both
of
those
that
should
say
in
the
certain
amount
in
2017
a
certain
amount
in
20
18
in
both
of
that
alternate
wording
has
been
provided
to
you
on
paper.
They
have
Kyle
ham,
the
CEO
of
the
economic
development
council
here
with
us
this
evening
and
also
Karen
both
shown
the
executive
director
of
the
Small
Business
Development
Center
at
Illinois,
Wesleyan
University
as
well.
To
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
X
You
and
thank
you,
awesome
Kyle
for
putting
this
together,
and
we
talked
about
this
at
length.
Last
meeting
and
I
always
appreciate
when
we
talk
about
something
in
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
then
it
comes
back
and
only
inner
meeting
I.
Let's
just
go
ahead
and
make
a
motion
that
we
approve
option
1
as
presented.
Okay.
A
X
Guess
that
question
directed
to
me
I
would
just
say
that
there's
no
I
haven't
seen
any
evidence
to
suggest
that
the
impact
will
be
based
on
population,
so
somebody
could
conceivably
all
be
in
normal
good
could
see,
bleep
I'll
be
in
Bloomington
or
one
community
50/50.
This
is
an
excellent
opportunity
for
us
to
have
make
a
major
economic
impact.
We
talked
about
that
last
week.
I
think
5050
is
the
way
to
go.
Y
Question
but
and
I
understand
that
I
think
that's
very
illogical.
We
don't
know
where
the
economic
impact
of
this
this
facility
will
be
where
these
businesses
will
locate,
but
we
do
know,
there's
a
differential
in
terms
of
population
and
so
by
a
50/50
split.
What
we
are
saying
is
town
of
normal
residents
should
pitch
in
more
per
capita
than
gu10
city
of
Bloomington
residents.
X
X
B
R
I
know
I
can
pitch
in
and
dress
some
of
this.
As
far
as
my
second
is
motion,
there
isn't
any
structure
around
how
much
the
effort
is
spent
towards
a
Bloomington
population
versus
a
normal
population
and
I.
Don't
think
anyone
has
recommended
that
I.
Don't
think
anyone
here
recommends
that
so,
if
there's
no
guarantee
that
any
of
this
will
come
to
fruition
as
Bloomington
payback,
if
you
will,
then
we
have
as
much
skin
in
the
game
as
anybody
else
and
that's
50/50.
R
It's
a
50/50
chance,
two
players,
two
towns
and
we'll
see
who
you
know
who
gets
some
of
this
relief
and
assistance,
and
we
hope
that
it'll
be
equal,
but
it
could
all
go
north.
So
for
that
reason,
I
think
it's
just
just
kind
of
a
chance
for
the
two
communities
to
work
together
and
and
I'm
voting
5050.
Z
A
Our
intergovernmental
agreements
are
all
over
the
place,
but,
generally
speaking,
there
has
been
a
60/40
split
in
population.
One
would
assume
that
if
there
is
an
increase
over-
let's
say
a
10
year
period
in
economic
development,
because
you
can't
really
do
it
in
one
year
to
the
next
that
the
community
with
the
larger
population
would
get
roughly
a
proportionate
share
of
those
proceeds.
But
obviously
that's
a
policy
decision
that
this
council
right
now
has
to
make
all
them
in
the
Laxus.
You
yeah
make
them
own
causing
trouble
over
here.
X
Yeah
I
just
hope
we
don't
get
lost
in
this
discussion
that
the
positive
impact
the
SBA
will
make
I
mean
looking
at
last
week's
report
and
it's
11
years
of
operation,
it's
served
more
than
750
small
businesses
and
2,000
people
attending
workshops
and
seminars
create
117,
187,
new
businesses
and
889
new
jobs,
or
retain
about
1600
jobs,
increasing
sales
for
clients.
So
this
is
a
huge
impact
to
our
community.
You
know,
I
I,
don't
know
where
those
numbers
break
down
balloons,
normal
I,
don't
think
about
it.
That
way
were
one
community.
W
I
could
maybe
elaborate
on
some
of
the
comments,
and
you
know
when
this
draft
agreement
originally
was
was
working
its
way
between
myself
and
my
counterpart
at
the
town
of
normal.
You
know
we
talked
about
a
number
of
different
things
in
the
way
that
the
agreement
could
be
structured,
but
then
the
funding
agreement.
You
know
it's
proposed
even
from
Wesleyan
was
you
know
using
that
default
metric
of
6040,
but
as
I
look
at
the
city's
budget
for
economic
development?
W
You
know
we
have
our
funding
for
the
economic
development
council
and
it's
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
$100,000
from
the
the
town
of
normal,
so
5050.
So
I
thought
well,
wouldn't
the
same
sort
of
apply
here
in
that
we
don't
necessarily
put
restriction
on
the
be
any
EDC
that
they
must
spend
a
certain
amount
of
more
time
with
city
of
Bloomington
businesses,
or
you
know,
maybe
maybe
they'll
be
years
where
City
businesses
benefit
more
than
than
town
of
normal
businesses,
difficult
to
say,
but
we
know
and
going
into
it.
W
You
know
an
equal
sharing
with
the
EDC
now
additional
research
that
was
done
here
at
the
city
was
looking
at
other
funding
agreements
of
between
cities
and
small
business
development
centers,
and
we
found
evidence
where
one
city
required
a
certain
amount
of
investment
and
time
would
be
spent
by
the
Small
Business
Development
Center
in
a
certain
neighborhood
of
a
city.
So,
of
course,
if
we
were
to
potentially
if
the
city
were
to
put
more
of
assistance
to
the
SBDC
here,
perhaps
maybe
we
would
want
to
put
in
a
requirement
in
the
agreement
to
say
well.
W
The
SBDC
must
spend
more
focus
on
Bloomington
or
a
certain
neighborhood
of
Bloomington
I.
Don't
think
that
we
should
necessarily
do
that.
I
think
it
should
be
open
and
observing
of
who
all
is
there,
but
again
getting
into
that
would
be,
in
my
opinion,
more
of
an
equal
sharing
again
also
looking
at
whoopsy.
Sorry
I
lost
my
train
of
thought
there,
but,
oh
historically,
looking
back
through
the
archives
of
the
pantograph
I
found.
W
Evidence
of
you
know
different
businesses
that
were
helped
by
the
SBDC,
both
located
in
the
city
and
in
the
town
of
normal,
and
even
in
Pontiac
was
the
one
that
was
successfully
mentioned
now,
there's
probably
many
dozens,
others
that
were
very
successful
in
other
communities
and
and
here
in
the
city
and
in
the
town
that
were
held
by
the
ISU
SBDC
back
in
the
day.
Those
just
didn't
get
the
positive
media
coverage
that
those
select
few
did
the
length
of
the
proposed
agreement.
W
That's
what
I
was
going
to
say
is
three
years
so
and
actually
including
this
year
that
we're
currently
in
two
more
years
in
the
future.
If,
after
the
two
years
from
now,
we
look
back
through
which
all
businesses
have
been
supported
in
which
areas
and
we
decide.
While
we
need
to
majorly
shift
this.
That
could
be
an
opportunity
there,
but
it
would
be
my
recommendation
to
do
the
50-50
at
this
point
in
in
this
Agreement.
Here.
T
Way
thanks.
The
only
other
thing
I
want
to
add
with
Illinois
Wesleyan
is
in
Bloomington,
and
it
would
be
a
way
of
supporting
not
that
we
don't
support
I
issue,
but
a
way
for
us
to
support
the
University.
That's
located
here
in
our
cider,
without
trying
to
sound
like
making
a
division
any
bigger
than
it
already
is.
W
Have
not
voted
on
it,
we
are
taking
the
lead
on
it
and
spending
the
staff
time
and
resources
to
put
it
out.
First,
the
comments
that
I've
heard
from
staff
the
town
normal
is
that
they
would
prefer
the
60/40
split.
I,
don't
know
if
that,
if
you
adopted
tonight
and
it
gets
sent
up
north
of
Division
Street
that
they'll
reject
it.
If
they
reject
it
or
amend
it,
we
could
bring
it
back.
You
know
send
it
in
the
house
type
of
thing,
sad
to
see
and.
A
Nine
thousand
city
managers
Steve.
U
Rasmussen
one
one
thing
that
might
one
fact
that
might
help:
if
you
have
that
is,
we
talked
about
there
being
a
hundred
and
eighty
seven
small
businesses
help.
How
does
that
break
out?
You
gave
some
some
numbers.
There
are
some
in
both
places,
but
do
we
know
what
what
percentage
of
businesses
have
been
helped
in
Bloomington
versus
what
percentage
have
been
helped
in
normal
I.
X
I
just
got
to
say,
I
appreciate
the
question
that
information
is
irrelevant
to
my
decision
here,
because
when
I
mean
whether
even
if
it
were
75
percent
in
normal
and
25
percent
in
Bloomington
people,
don't
look
at
Division
Street
on
where
they're
working
those
jobs
that
are
created.
What's
important
to
me
is
that
we
get
this
organization
funded
in
a
way.
That's
consistent
with
our
philosophies
and
I.
Think
5050
is
the
way
to
do
it
and
I'm
ready
to
vote.
Okay.
A
It,
let's
all
make
it
clear
we're
there
is
no
question
about
the
value
of
the
economic
tile
in
the
center.
Okay,
all
right.
At
this
point
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor.
That
is
50-50,
and
the
question
is
just
whether
or
not
we
want
to
accept
a
50/50
funding
plan
or
if
this
motion
fails.
I
would
certainly
be
willing
to
accept
a
60/40
vote
or
motion
okay.
So
everyone
will
please
vote.
A
A
Next,
we
moved
to
consideration
analysis
of
proposal
and
approval
the
parking,
Street
Garage
access
control
improvements,
contract
with
Heartland
parking,
and
this
is
in
the
amount
of
nine
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars,
and
so
Ross
Waller.
You
were
the
lucky
person
who
gets
ten
minutes
to
tell
us
why.
D
Thank
you
very
canceled
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
this
proposed
improvements.
Much
needed
I
think
the
packet
spoke
pretty
clearly
as
to
the
need
for
this.
So
I'm
not
gonna,
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
that,
obviously
will
address
questions
you
might
have
with
regard
to
that
after
I'm
done.
I
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
show
you
the
essentially
the
proposed
improvements,
some
of
the
improvements
that
are
we're
planning
on
doing
and
then
also
the
financial
benefits
of
doing
it,
potential
financial
benefits
and
then
also
the
potential
financial
consequences
of
not
doing
it.
So.
D
D
That's
probably
the
most
noticeable
change
to
the
to
the
entire
thing
and
just
want
to
kind
of
give
you
a
feel
for
what
that
would
look
like
here's,
the
actual
devices
that
are
being
proposed
to
be
installed.
You
have
an
entry
device,
essentially
it's
no
different
than
the
tickets
bidder.
We
have
right
now
where,
as
you
would
enter,
you
pull
a
ticket
to
be
able
to
then
exit
pay
on
foot
device.
So
that
is
one
of
the
big
changes.
D
Also
is
that
instead
of
the
parking
attendant
sitting
in
the
booth,
people
could
go
to
a
pay
on
foot
device.
One
would
be
located
in
every
single
garage.
You
would
pay
for
your
the
amount
of
time
you
parked
there
and
then
you
would
have
allotted
amount
of
time
to
exit
the
garage
and
it
would
let
sense
of
that
ticket
with
a
child
or
also
have
the
exit
device.
Some
of
those
will
actually
be
pay
on
exit
so
for
persons
that
didn't
want
to
go
use
the
pan
foot,
which
will
accept
all
denominations
coin.
D
You
know
money
and
credit
and
debit
cards,
people
that
don't
want
to
pass
with
that.
If
they
actually
choose
to
pay
on
exit
device,
they
can
exit,
but
they'll
have
to
be
used
a
credit
card
or
debit
card.
So
those
are
the
proposed
of
devices
that
you'd
see
exiting
so
onto
one
of
the
other
big
reasons
that
we're
proposing.
This
is
actual
reports
and
there's
a
whole
lot
of
data
here.
I'm
just
trying
to
show
you
all
of
the
potential
reports
and
I'm
not
even
include
all
of
them.
D
There's
hundreds
upon
hundreds
of
reports
that
we
can
get
out
of
this
our
current
system.
We
can't
get
in
reports,
so
you
want
to
know
how
many
people
are
using
the
parking
garage.
We
can
give
you
an
estimate
based
on
what
people
are
paying,
but
it's
inaccurate
data
the
system
were
using
now
is
obsolete.
D
So
just
a
couple
of
examples:
the
occupancy
report,
which
is
kind
of
what
I'm
talking
about
us,
you
know
who's
using
the
garage,
are
they
daily
Parkers
or
the
monthly
Parkers
which
that
we
have
a
good,
accurate
count
on,
because
those
people
are
paying
monthly,
but
the
daily
Parkers
we'd
have
no
idea.
We
could
also
give
you
information
on
okay.
How
long
are
they
staying?
You
know,
so,
if
they're
pulling
into
the
garage
what's
the
likelihood
or
they
stand
an
hour
two
hours,
they
stand
all
day.
D
All
of
this
information
can
be
used
and
be
brought
back
to
you
later
on
to
make
some
decisions
on
how
we
want
to
operate.
The
garage
potentially
change
the
operations
of
the
garage
sample
parking
tickets
when
you
pull
in
basically
that'd
be
a
ticket
that
you'd
get
that
you'd
scan
to
pay
a
foot
or
pay
an
exit
to
get
out
revenue
and
time
report
basically
says:
okay,
here's
once
again
how
many
people
are
staying
and
for
how
long
and
what
kind
of
money
do
we
make
on
that?
A
shift
report?
Essentially.
D
So,
if
you
take
for
an
instance
of
one
day
or
a
whole
week,
you
could
run
a
report
and
it
would
tell
you
basically
anybody
that
parked
in
that
garage
they're,
basically
the
percent
of
time
they
were
there,
the
amount
of
money
we
got
from
them,
whether
it
be
a
daily
Parker.
We
also
have
some
account
parks,
people
that
have
set
up
accounts
and
basically
are
paying
for
multiple
people
to
park
in
the
garage.
D
So,
there's
a
lot
of
data,
a
lot
of
reports
we
can
get
out
of
that
which
currently
we
can
I
get
so
moving
on
to
the
potential
revenue
increases.
Well,
first,
the
slide
I
showed
you
was
the
removal
of
that
parking
booth.
Well
right
now
an
attendant
sits
there.
When
that
attendant.
Should
we
move
forward
this
that
attended
with
a
no
longer
route
card
to
sit
in
that
booth,
we
can
get
him
back
out
on
the
street,
doing
it
for
sment.
D
So
what
I've
done
is
shown
you
here
the
history
of
the
parking
citations
up
until
2015,
we
actually
had
four
parking
enforcement
officers
and
that
in
2015
one
of
them
took
a
job
in
a
in
the
facilities
department
and
that
position
has
not
been
replaced.
So
what
I
did
is
I
extrapolated
that
data
from
2010
to
2015
showing
they're,
basically,
the
three
people
providing
citations
versus
four
people,
citing
providing
citations
extrapolate
that
into
2016
and
2017,
to
give
you
an
idea
of
the
additional
potential
citations
that
could
be
issued.
D
D
Is
next
so
the
citations
were
there
that
was
just
a
potential
for
citations
with
the
additional
enforcement.
Now
we
have,
what
I
got
is
a
figure
for
the
actual
revenue.
This
is
current
revenue
summary,
so
did
a
five-year
average
you're,
looking
at
a
grand
total
about
six
hundred,
seventy-five
thousand
dollars
per
year,
five-year
average
for
all
facilities
combined
once
again,
I
extrapolated
that
so
it's
approximations-
and
this
is
if
council
chose
to
move
the
garages
to
a
24/7
operation
which
is
similar
to
what
the
town
of
normal
does.
D
If
we
chose
to
do
that,
I
basically
took
some
figures
put
in
their
approximations
on
additional
parking
customers
we
might
receive
by
doing
that,
and
there
you
see
the
six
hundred
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
again.
The
additional
revenue
for
changing
that
to
a
24/7
operation
could
be
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
is
also
only
if
you
choose
to
move
it,
for
we
are
not
proposing
to
make
any
change
that
tonight,
we're
just
looking
at
changing
the
obsolete
system
that
we
currently
have
and
then,
obviously,
with
that
data
we
could
get
from
that
new
system.
Y
D
It
would
be
comparable
to
like
your
computers,
which
obviously
their
lifespan
is
maybe
a
month,
but
this
is
a
similar
type
of
system.
It's
all
electronic
based.
You
get
obviously
a
longer
term
than
a
computer
out
of
this,
but
there's
so
much
turnover
in
this
industry,
where
they're
always
coming
out
with
new
improvements,
new
and
better
ways
to
sensitive
for
people
to
access
other
garages
that
that
you
know
it's
typical
and
it's
not
so
much
that
we,
you
can't
fix
it.
We
can
fix
it.
D
We
just
can't
find
parts
anymore,
so
we're
now
we're
robbing
stuff
out
of
the
Pepsi
I
Center
garage
to
fix
the
other
ones,
and
so
you
know
we
can't
continue
to
do
that.
The
next
time
we
have
a
major
issue,
we're
done
we'll
have
to
open
the
garage
and
collect
no
revenue,
whatever
garage
gets
impacted,
the
worst
and
unfortunately
they
all
seem
to
act
together
with
the
exception
of
Pepsi
ice,
since
it's
no
longer
functioning
but
market
and
Lincoln.
When
one
goes
down,
they
all
go
down
so
well.
D
Z
Thanks
for
putting
this
together
Russ,
if
there's
such
a
thing
as
a
guaranteed
lifecycle
at
all
so
I
know,
for
instance,
in
the
computer
industry,
for
a
lot
of
the
high-end
servers,
they
will
say
that
we
are
going
to
continue
this
line
with
parts
available
to
make
repairs
and
stuff
for
10
years.
You
know:
is
there
such
a
thing
that
exists
for
these
sort
of
parking
meters,
not.
D
So
much
than
that,
there
is
no
guarantee
that
they'll
continue
to
make
parts
for
that
that,
like
the
period
I,
you
know
I
suspect
they
will.
The
one
thing
that
is
included
in
this
proposal
is,
we
did
kind
of
think
of
what
you're
exactly
you're
talking
about
here
is
worrying
about
okay,
what
happens
when
this
becomes
obsolete
or
what
happens
with
problems
so
into
this
proposal?
D
D
I
didn't
I,
don't
think
I
provided
a
complete
breakdown,
but
we
could
provide
that
if
he
wanted,
I
was
actually
not
a
whole
lot
of
money.
For
that
additional
warranty,
essentially
I
think
but
goes
to
speak
that
they're
expecting
the
system
the
last
a
long
time
not
expecting
to
have
problems
with
it.
So
the
additional
cost
for
the
extended
warranty
was
minimal.
It's
a
couple
hundred
thousand
dollars,
but
based
on
the
total
price
that
was
reasonable.
We
thought
that's,
obviously
something
if
you
chose
to.
Z
Second
question
I
had
was
with
the
numbers
that
you
showed
the
revenue
numbers
so
right
now
the
Market
Street
Garage
the
bottom
floor
is
four
hours
free
parking,
and
then
you
can't
access
the
top
floors
unless
you're
a
monthly
subscriber
to
the
garage.
Do
you
envision
changing
that
to
allow
access
to
the
upper
floors
yeah.
D
Z
I
was
just
curious
on
that
one
and
then
the
I
just
not
necessarily
a
question,
but
just
a
general
statement
that
I
would
not
support
go
into
24/7
parking
in
the
garages,
because
we
have
an
awful
lot
of
people.
People
right
now
that
we
have
tried
to
encourage
to
say
if
you
are
going
to
consume
adult
beverages,
maybe
it's
best
to
park
in
the
garage
and
get
a
ride
home
at
night
and
I.
Don't
want
to
kind
of
change
that
mentality.
I
want
to
put
your
car
in
a
garage
it'll
be
safe.
Z
D
Yes,
you
will
be
able
to
that,
will
take
some
changes,
I
think
in
house
that
we
have
to
modify.
But
yes,
the
system
is
capable
of
modification
paying
online.
You
can
actually
the
system
allows
you
to
log
in
pre
purchase
your
parking
ticket,
so
you
know
you're
coming
you
got
someone
coming
and
you
want
to
pay
for
them
to
come
and
park
downtown.
You
can
log
in
and
pay
that
I
think
I
know
we
can
get
there.
Our
anion
but
that'll
be
some
changes.
We'll
have
to
make
it's
just
not
the
way.
P
D
Are
and-
and
we
thought
about
that
option
is
basically
not
providing
the
pay
on
foot.
The
problem
we
have
is
okay,
someone
because
there
are
still
a
few
holdouts
that
don't
carry
credit
cards
and
don't
believe
in
that,
and
so,
if
we
get
a
customer
that
comes
in,
you
know
poses
ticking,
goes
in
and
then
has
no
way
to
exit.
You
know
because
he
didn't
have
enough
credit
card,
we
can't.
Unfortunately,
we
can't
eliminate
that
option
and
save
some
money.
AB
D
Yeah,
it's
not
free.
Obviously,
so
if
we
did
choose
to
remove
the
gradual
inking,
any
other
garage
is
quite
honestly
from
service.
You
would
be
able
to
take
those
out
put
them
in
storage,
repurpose
them
in
a
different
light
or
a
different
garage.
Any
that's
possible.
It
just
obviously
comes
with
the
cost.
They're
contractors.
AC
D
Going
to
warranty
that,
essentially
that
we
would
have
to
pay
an
additional
cost
for
that
service.
If
I
came
up
in
the
future,
but
yeah
there
did,
nothing
is
essentially
it
is
mounted
you
know
essentially
permanently
anyway.
It's
not
you
know.
Somebody
can't
walk
off
with
it,
but
it's
still
it's
it's
removable
and
repurposing.
Okay,
thank.
AD
A
O
D
A
X
You
and
thank
you
for
putting
this
together,
there's
a
appreciate
just
how
detailed
that
presentation
wasn't
what
we
saw
on
the
pack
on
how
different
criteria
everything
was
evaluated.
I'll
just
share
my
opinion,
which
is
that
I
think
we
do
this
backwards.
You
know
a
lot
of
cities
what
they
do
to
combat
some
traffic
issues
they
charge
for
parking
on
the
street
and
they
open
up
free
garages
to
get
people
to
park
in
those
garages
and
then
walk
to
their
destination.
Ideally,
we'd
get
people
using
uber
and
eventually
self-driving
cars
are
going
to
be
here.
X
X
Choice,
Wow
but
I
mean
every
major
city.
I
go
to
has
this
sort
of
technology
and
we
should
be
doing
more
of
this
types
of
automation.
You
know
we
can
get
our
staff
doing
some
other
things.
Besides.
Just
parking
enforcement
I
know
that
downtown
task
force
is
gonna,
be
having
some
recommendations
that
go
along
with
these
sorts
of
things
at
some
point
in
time
in
the
future.
X
So
I
hope
that
we
consider
that,
because
I
think
parking
downtown
is
always
a
hot
topic
and
I
continue
to
hear
people
say:
there's
no
parking
when
that
isn't
necessarily
the
case,
and
you
can
do
things
where
you
charge
for
street
parking
in
front
of
businesses,
never
the
case
exactly.
You
can
charge
for
street
parking,
and
then
maybe
you
have
you
scan
your
receipt
with
a
cue
code
code.
If
you
buy
an
item
from
a
business
there
that
creates
a
traffic
flow,
I
mean
high
cost
of
free
parking
check
it
out
it
walks.
X
The
problems
that
we've
created
for
ourselves,
when
it
comes
to
parking
in
a
piece
I
would
say,
is
that
I
remember
a
couple
years
ago,
suggestion
was
made
that
the
parking
lot
across
from
the
government
center
right
between
Anzio
and
epiphany
and
the
government
center
that
those
city
vehicles
in
the
weekends
park
in
the
garage,
perhaps
in
the
top
story,
because
it
tends
not
to
be
as
crowded
during
the
weekends.
Is
that
something
that
we
can
just.
X
X
X
To
say
about
that
is
that
that's
that
something
that
people
talk
about
a
lot
I'm
glad
that
we're
discussing
that,
but
ultimately
I
know
that
we
talked
about
the
two
hours
people
moving
it
every
little
bit
to
avoid
that
sort
of
thing,
but
that
would
make
a
big,
dramatic
increase
in
visible
parking
on
the
week
and
then
to
ultimate
math.
These
points,
discouraging
people
from
from
taking
a
ride
home
after
enjoying
our
wonderful
downtown.
X
T
Thanks
for
the
information
and
what
you've
done
here,
I
like
I
guess,
like
my
question,
is
I
emailed
Patti,
because
I
was
late
in
getting
through
the
packet
today
for
tonight's
meeting
and
I
asked
her.
If
we
make
money
on
our
parking
garages
and
garages
street
parking
monitors,
you
know
fees
for
parking
violations
and
I-
don't
have
specifics
here,
but
she
said
we
bring
in
less
than
we
spend
and
market
in
the
Pepsi
Center
and
Lincoln
garages
hit-or-miss.
T
AE
D
The
Lincoln
garage
itself,
we
don't
home
Lincoln
groj-
is
owned
by
the
public
building
Commission
and
in
order
to
do
what
you're
proposing
to
basically
make
have
to
get
them
to
approve
that
essentially
an
the
county
to
approve
that
and
I
doubt
they're
probably
willing
to
do
that,
because
their
expectation
is
we
make
enough
money
in
a
Lincoln
garage
to
pay
for
its
repairs
for
its
upkeep
and
that's
I.
Think,
as
you
found
out
with
your
discussion
with
Patti
Lynne.
D
D
Debt
service
and
that's
a
report
that
the
county
had
been
asking
for,
and
we've
been
providing
now
monthly.
If
you
remove
the
debt
service,
it's
it's
about
a
wash,
so
we
we
do
make
enough
money
to
essentially
kind
of
upkeep
and
maintain
it.
It
does
not,
unfortunately,
at
this
point
make
enough
to
do
major
repairs
like
the
one
we're
talking
about
here,
or
we
have
to
do.
A
major
improvement
will
be
capital
improvement.
We
don't
make
that
kind
of
money
on
it.
Unfortunately,
okay
thanks.
R
R
You
thank
you
very
much
for
the
information
and
so
just
kind
of
a
check-in
on
approaching
this
problem,
and
the
solution
that's
presented
here
is
to
purchase
these
very
expensive
machines.
To
do
to
do
this,
parking
is
tracking
and
collection
and
the
like.
Is
there
no
market
for
leased
machines
rather
than
this
big
big
by
this
big
purchases
over
nine
hundred
thousand,
we.
D
D
They
will
install
the
machines,
they
do
everything
and
then
they
take
their
cut
off
the
top
to
make
sure
they're
actually
making
enough
money
to
pay
for
those
machines
to
pay
for
their
time
to
pay
for
their
staff,
and
so
quite
honestly,
then
you're
giving
all
the
potential
revenue
that
you
could
make
off
of
that
to
this
company
to
manage
it.
That's
a.
C
D
Not
exactly
the
way
the
town
Omer
works,
but
it's
similar.
They
do
have
Heartland
parking,
manage
their
entire
parking
system
or
parking
garages,
but
they
actually
do
do
the
capital
expenses
and
pay
for
the
equipment
themselves.
But
then
they
have
Heartland
parking
manage
the
rest
of
it.
They
manage
the
gates,
they
manage
as
a
maintenance
of
it.
The
minor
maintenance
not
major
and
just
take
care
of
all
the
operations.
So
there
are
some
hybrid
type
systems
kind
of
what
you're
talking
about,
but
I'm,
not
a
run
across
anywhere.
You
can
just
lease
the
equipment.
D
AC
D
Like
that,
especially
with
the
public
building
Commission
involved
with
the
process
they
their
expectation,
is
we
make
money
to
pay
for
the
maintenance,
and
so
the
best
way
to
do
that
is
to
actually
invest
in
the
you
know,
the
existing
building
the
existing
facility
and
then
to
be
able
to
take
as
much
revenue
out
of
as
we
can
and
so
purchasing
equipment
and
then
being
able
to
recoup
of
that
with
either
24/7
operation,
which
I
know,
is
mixed
feelings
here,
but
that
would
be
the
best
opportunity
to
gain
more
revenue
from
the
system
is
to
turn
in
a
24/7
operation
to
recoup
as
much
money
as
we
can
so.
D
V
I'm
very
sympathetic
to
the
comments
that
Scott
and
Diana
made
and
want
to
know
what
would
happen
if
we
perhaps
didn't
install
this
in
the
Market
Street
garage
suppose
we
went
with
Lincoln
and
Pepsi
Ice
Center
and
we
opened
up
market
and
to
see
what
would
happen
if
it's
free,
we
still
putting
people
out
on
this,
not
you
know
out
doing
parking.
Enforcement
were
presumably
attracting
people
to
park,
not
on
the
street
but
in
a
garage.
So
what
are
the
dynamics
of
that?
What
are
what
am
I
missing?
V
D
That's
definitely
an
opportunity,
so
I
think
right
now,
the
Market
Street
garages,
it's
about
550
spaces,
about
350
to
400
of
those
spaces
are
leased.
We
actually
have
lease
agreements,
no
monthly
clients,
so
I
think
that
would
be
your
biggest
problem
right.
There
is,
if
we
essentially
said,
are
no
longer
going
to
leave
spaces
in
the
market
Raj
it's
kind
of
a
free-for-all,
but.
V
D
You
could
do
a
hang
tag.
The
problem
with
a
hang
tag
is
that
when
you,
when
you
combine
that
many
cars
in
one
spot,
you
pretty
much
have
to
devote
a
person
to
police
that
garage
24
hours
a
day,
or
at
least
during
the
time
that
you're
essentially
leasing
the
spots
because
for
someone
who
actually
drives
to
their
garage
or
walk
through
that
garage
consistently
to
ensure
that
we're
honoring
and
basically
holding
enough
spaces
for
the
people
that
are
going
to
lease
it
you're
devoting
a
whole
person
to
that.
Essentially
that
operation.
So
then
you're.
D
Once
again,
it's
really
no
different
than
what
you
have
right
now
with
Lincoln
garage
you're
taking
that
person
off
on
the
street
and
that
their
enforcement
maybe
can
be
better
used
similar.
So
that
to
me
that's
your
biggest
issue
is
that
all
of
those
people,
the
leased
spaces,
will
truly
be
upset
because
they
now
know
have
no
guarantee
that
the
spot
that
they're
paying
$50
a
month
for
is
going
to
be
there
for
and
I
think
opening
up,
making
it
free
and
be
real
tough
to
ensure
that
those
people
have
spaces.
D
Even
with
someone
dedicated
to
that,
because
guess
what
it
comes
into,
is
you
would,
in
addition
to
having
hangtags,
you
would
almost
have
to
mark
the
spaces
as
reserved,
because
if
it's
free
parking-
and
you
don't
have
anything
marked
as
reserved
the
people
that
come
there
and
park
there
leave
their
vehicle
there,
there's
no
right
to
tow
them.
Yeah.
V
And
I
don't
want
to
waste
a
whole
lot
more
time
on
this,
but
and
there
are
no
options
to
allow
people
with
lease
basis
to
go
through
with
a
far
less
complicated
system
that
doesn't
require
payment
or
anything
like
that.
But
actually
is
you
know
some
recognition
of
here's.
You
know
when
here's
my
QR
code
or
whatever
we.
D
D
A
T
You
I
move
that
the
unit
prices
and
contract
with
Heartland
parking
Inc
for
the
parking
garage
access,
control,
improvements,
RFP
20:18,
oh
nine,
in
the
amount
of
nine
hundred
nine
hundred
and
ten
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
five
dollars
and
73
cents
be
approved
and
authorized.
The
city
manager
and
city
clerk
to
execute
necessary
contract
documents
is.
A
AA
C
A
D
Take
ten
minutes
on
this
one:
this
is
pretty
simple
once
again,
I
think
the
packet
explained
kind
of
the
need
for
what
we're
doing
here
so
here,
I'm,
going
to
just
I'll,
explain
a
little
bit
of
that,
but
I'm
going
to
go
on
to
some
of
the
other
inconsistencies.
That
I
think
we
need
to
correct
in
this
lot,
but
we
were
approached
by
the
McLean
County
government
about
what
we're
gonna
call
parking
shuffling.
Currently,
the
code
says
that
two
hours
parking,
but
there
is
nothing
that
defines
that
you
can
only
Park
once
per
day.
D
We
have
that
another
Lots,
the
major
Butler
a
lot
is
at
the
lower
level,
the
Market
Street
Garage
is
and
the
differences
those
are
four
hours
and
the
Pepsi
I
Center
garage.
Those
are
once
per
day
for
up
to
four
hours
and
those
other
two
Lots.
So
the
only
difference
we're
proposing
here
is
it's
the
same
kind
of
once
per
day
parking,
but
it's
only
limited
to
two
hours
per
day,
and
that
essentially
is
to
allow
people
that
are
coming
to
the
government
center
for
business
to
have
ample
places
to
park.
D
So
here's
an
entry
sign
one
of
two
entry
signs
to
the
lot
anything
I'm
showing
there's
is
to
me:
that's
confusing.
It
says
free
parking,
free
parking.
So
do
you
pay
other
times.
It
also
has
it's.
Basically,
the
operations
are
6:00
p.m.
to
7:00
a.m.
that's,
essentially
when
it's
free
parking,
but
so
from
those
off
times
is
when
you
either
pay,
or
it's
only
for
government
center
employees.
So
that's
a
very
confusing.
D
Obviously,
there's
some
much-needed
changes
on
the
lot,
regardless
of
this
code
change.
There's
some
changes.
We
need
to
make
to
the
signs,
so
we
go
from
this
sign
to
some
of
the
interior
signs.
So
on
the
previous
sign,
it
was
from
believe
it
was
a
back
up,
make
sure
yeah
6:00
p.m.
this
one's
5:00
p.m.
so
we're
not
even
consistent
in
our
signs
and
then,
if
you
look
at
the
top
sign,
basically
it's
it's
a
restricted
parking
or
non
restricted
parking,
basically
those
times
and
then
the
to
our
parking
below
it.
D
So
once
again,
I
think
we
have
some
very
confusing
signs
in
that
lot.
The
one
you
can't
read
is
is
a
lot
of
the
signs
and
there's
multiple
signs
on
that.
That's
a
long
lawns,
you
all
that
is,
is
the
same
sign
that
you're
looking
above
there
where
it
says
non,
restricted
parking.
It
does
not
have
the
two-hour
parking
sign
below
it
on
any
of
those
spaces
on
anjou.
So,
quite
honestly,
that's
non
restricted
parking.
We
don't
really
have
a
proper
signage
and
a
lot.
D
D
Do
that,
regardless
of
your
decision
on
the
code
change,
we
need
to
do
that,
but
we
don't
say:
don't
want
to
repeat
it.
So
assuming
you
do
approve
the
code
change
and
we
could
do
a
all
encompassing
improve
it.
Some
more
signs,
the
one
thing
here.
We
do
have
some
evie
parking,
so
that's
that's,
obviously
those
would
stay
and
those
would
be
restricted
to
the
two
hours
once
per
day.
Unless
that's
something
that
you
wanted
to
amend
the
proposal
we
weren't
planning
on
making
these
special
accommodations
for
the
two
EB
spaces
that
are
there.
D
D
So
one
of
the
problems
we
have
there
is
that
there
are
employees
from
the
county
and
the
city
that
are
not
government
center
employees.
They
drive
in
from
other
locations
by
rights
they're
not
allowed
to
park
there.
So
we're
trying
to
clean
that
up,
because
the
the
point
of
the
government
sort
of
the
EM
plates
is
to
allow
people
that
are
travelling
to
a
meeting
at
the
government
center
to
have
a
of
a
space
to
park
for
a
short
period
of
time
for
a
quick
meeting.
So
that
needs
to
be
addressed
and.
D
Again,
an
oyster
in
hours
now
that
the
proposed
change
and
I
can
get
to
that
right
here.
So
what
you
have
there
on
my
left
is
the
existing
parking
layout.
So
the
blue
is
the
M
plate,
there's
31
spaces,
currently
on
the
lot
that
are
designated
for
M
plate
and
that's
essentially
during
business
hours,
and
it's
either
essentially
7:00
a.m.
to
5:00
p.m.
or
7:00
a.m.
to
6:00
p.m.
D
depending
on
what
sign
you
read
and
then
the
yellow
ones
are
the
two
hour
spaces,
and
then
we
also
and
I
did
not
correct
that
this
one
right
along
here
was
supposed
to
be
a
different
color.
Unfortunately,
I
didn't
get
that
changed,
but
that
is
actually
employee
parking.
There
are
seven
spaces
there,
that
is,
for
the
Parks
and
Rec
and
recreation
employees.
D
So
what
we
are
proposing
to
change
in
addition
to
the
2
hour
limitation
once
per
day,
is
we're
going
to
take
of
the
31
spaces
we're
going
to
take
all
but
10
of
those
and
move
them
to
the
Lincoln
Log.
So
we
do
want
to
leave
some
M
plate
spaces
in
there,
as
I
explained
earlier
for
those
out
of
town,
whether
it
be
a
government
of
McLean,
County,
government,
employee
or
a
city
employee
that
are
coming
from
a
different
office.
D
We
want
to
give
some
spaces
for
them
to
come
to
a
two-hour
meeting
and
to
be
able
to
park
reasonably
and
not
have
to
to
get
into
the
deck
and
worry
about
paying.
That's.
Essentially,
they
are
going
to
be
limited
to
that
won't
be
by
sign
that
will
be
by
policy
we're
going
to
limit
them
to
two
hours
and
other
than
that.
If
they're
parking
there,
they
need
to
be
parking
in
there
and
no
Lincoln
Dec.
So
those.
I
D
Get
moved
those
additional
spaces
will
get
moved
to
the
Lincoln
garage,
the
parks
direct
employee
parking
that
was
here
will
get
removed
and
there
will
be
a
move
to
the
Lincoln
garage,
so
we
are
going
from
58
to
our
spaces
to
propose
86
to
our
spaces
great
and
then
the
last
thing
which
also
is
in
this
proposed
change,
is
the
temporary
parking
permit.
I.
D
D
So
if
they
have
a
job
going
down
to
take,
for
instance,
the
work
that's
going
on
with
the
dnieper
gas
upgrade
there's
they
do
use
parking
spaces
and
they
do
get
ticketed
if
they
don't
come
in
and
get
a
permit,
but
that's
very
inconvenient
they're
constantly
have
to
move
their
vehicle.
They
can't
get
a
whole
lot
of
work
done,
so
we
allow
them
to
come
in
to
purchase
a
temporary
parking
permit.
D
D
We
will
issue
them
is
for
a
month
that
way
after
a
month,
they
have
to
come
back
and
either
renew
it
and
pay
for
another
one,
but
essentially
what
it
does
is
it
avoids
the
time
limitations
in
downtown,
so
they
can
park
in
a
spot,
not
worried
about
their
vehicle,
giving
ticket
or
towed
and
essentially
get
get
the
work
done
in
a
efficient
manner.
So
that
was
an
issue
that
we're
just
trying
to
clean
up
in
the
code,
because
there
was
nothing
in
code
for
a
process
that
we're
currently
doing.
D
This
was
discussed
that
our
standing
downtown
traffic
committee
meeting-
obviously
she
did-
have
concerns
with
some
of
the
impacts
to
businesses.
But
you
know
she
was
supportive
of
the
two-hour
because
that
provides
turnover
in
that
lot.
So
anybody
come
into
the
gun,
Center
or
nearby
would
have
time
to
come
and
do
business
a
two
hour.
Time
limit
seems
to
be
a
reasonable
amount
of
time
to
come
in
and
do
business
kind
of
standard
business.
D
T
A
A
AE
City
Council,
whenever
I
started
in
2008
as
the
public
works
director,
it
wasn't
more
than
a
year
later.
Whenever
we
really
put
forward
the
first
master
plan,
we
tried
in
2009
to
craft
a
brick
Street
master
plan
kind
of
going
off
this
whole
premise
that
we've
been
very
consistent
in
Public
Works.
We
need
to
rate
what
we
have,
so
we
can
have
a
plan
of
where
we're
going
over
these
years.
AE
We've
done
that
consistently
time
after
time
with
different
pieces
of
infrastructure,
in
this
case
we're
bringing
math
to
an
upgraded,
very
improved
brick
Street
master
plan
in
the
back
Michael
Hill
I'll
give
a
full
credit
to
him.
He
has
just
done
a
tremendous
job
in
our
Department
of
upgrading
of
a
very
poor
original
master
plan,
my
first
shot
at
a
master
plan.
He
really
upgraded
that
significantly.
So
all
in-house
our
own
staff
did
this
work.
No
consultant
dollars
were
paid.
April
24th.
AE
You
as
a
council,
gave
unanimous
approval
for
us
as
a
staff
to
craft
this
master
plan.
We
have
gone
through
a
robust
process
with
both
citizens
and
different
boards.
Sherry
grayling
was
a
ridge
up.
Thank
you
very
much.
Yes,
she's
right
in
the
front
row
now
originally
was
in
the
back.
She
came
to
the
front
my
thanks
to
her
and
then
she's
representing
the
Historic
Preservation
Commission.
As
the
chair
woman,
she
will
also
did
a
wonderful
job
throughout
the
process.
We
had
multiple
meetings
with
them.
AE
There
was
a
unanimous
approval
from
the
Historic
Preservation
Commission
on
this
plan,
and
then
we
also
received
unanimous
approval
from
the
Planning
Commission
and
so
again
tonight,
we've
we've
already
had
a
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
with
you
and
so
we're
asking
tonight
for
your
approval
of
this
plan.
We'll
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
it,
but
the
the
intention
is
to
be
very
systematic
in
our
ratings
of
everything
and
be
able
to
provide
a
long-term
plan
of
what
we
do
with
our
Brook
streets
over
the
long
haul.
AE
We
are
looking
at
a
7.4
million
dollar
cost
for
this
plan,
but
what
I'll
tell
you
is
that's
very
preliminary
we'll
get
into
that
a
little
bit,
but
it's
very
preliminary
because
in
Bloomington
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
examples
of
what
we
can
go
off
of
sidewalks.
We
have
a
lot
of
dollars
street
resurfacing.
We
have
a
lot
of
dollars
all
of
those
things
bricks,
there's
not
a
lot
of
tangible
things.
We
can
go
off
of
to
really
give
you
good
cost
estimates.
AE
In
this
plan.
We
look
at
doing
philosophical
changes
to
how
we
assess
the
brick
streets,
preserving
what
we
have.
We
are
looking
at
ordinance
changes.
That's
some
key
things
that
we
don't
have
in
the
master
plan,
we'll
set
the
stage
for
us
to
bring
back
to
these
ordinance
changes
in
December
and
January.
Looking
at
some
key
things
that
it.
Hopefully
you
will
pass
this
tonight
and
when
you
do,
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
bring
back
is:
how
do
you
deal
with
those
utility
cuts,
how
you
stop
and
just
preserve
what
we
have?
AE
Even
if
we
don't
do
massive
overhauls
or
add
new
bricks
routes,
how
do
we
just
preserve
what
we
have
and
then
look
to
the
future
and
a
better
funding
becomes
available?
Well,
utility
cuts
and
patching
is
one
of
the
key
damages
to
our
brick
streets,
and
so
we
need
to
be
able
to
stop
that
and
find
some
way
to
be
able
to
deal
with
that
on
an
annual
basis.
AE
We
also
want
to
deal
with
Complete
Streets
and
how
that
ties
in
and
then
truck
routes
we've
dealt
with
that
and
on
a
case
by
case
basis,
as
staff.
We
recommend
coming
back
and
dealing
with
trucks,
trucks,
heavy
trucks
do
a
lot
of
damage
to
Brook
streets,
they
damage
the
basin,
so
we
want
to
restrict
through
truck
movements
on
our
brook
streets.
So
we've
looked
at
every
one
of
our
37
brick
streets.
We
have
a
extensive
data
in
this
again
at
58
57
page
document.
AE
We
do
as
a
staff
plan
on
taking
this
to
the
National
APW
a
as
we
did.
We
want
an
award
with
our
sidewalk
master
plan
that
was
done
in-house.
We
plan
on
doing
the
same
exact
thing
with
this
Brook
Street
master
plan,
we've
talked
to
other
communities
and
others
feel
like
this
is
one
of
the
best
plans
they
have
seen.
So
we've
already
have
other
communities
coming
and
using
this
document,
because
we've
really
kind
of
reached
out-
and
you
can
see
our
references-
we've
reached
out
to
a
lot
of
others.
AE
This
plan
isn't
an
end-all
be-all
though
I
will
say
it
is
a
start.
There
are
other
facets.
We
were
not
able
to
be
comprehensive
in
every
facet.
We
did
the
best.
We
could
to
be
able
to
come
up
with
a
quick
plan,
but
then
in
the
future
there
are
other
things
we
can
do
as
opportunities
arise,
as
funding
arises
if
interest
arises,
but
we
wanted
at
least
set
the
stage
and
get
a
foundation
level.
So
we
can
have
some
policy
for
staff
to
go.
Also.
AE
AE
It
took
a
couple
years
to
be
able
to
define
how
do
we
want
to
deal
with
this,
but
staff
as
a
whole
is
really
looking
for
some
direction
on
this,
as
a
piece
of
this
is
a
piece
of
infrastructure,
and
we
did
what
the
council
asked
and
we're
bringing
this
back
to
you
so
again,
where
the
next
item
we're
separating
this.
The
next
item
on
the
on
the
agenda
is
going
to
be
Monroe
and
we'll
talk
about
that.
AE
Z
Z
AE
Fair
from
a
council
perspective
I
need
you
to
know
that,
even
if
you
change
that
from
a
year
one
or
put
years
on
it,
take
that
off
phase
one
phase,
two,
it
doesn't
bind
you.
These
are
recommendations.
They
can
be.
You
know
they.
It's
gonna
eventually
be
policy
level
decisions
for
our
council.
So
great
point,
the
other
facet
I
would
ask
of
this.
AE
If
you
did
pass
this
tonight,
even
if
there
are
no
streets
immediately
addressed
a
key
piece
of
it,
that
does
need
to
happen
if
it's
passed,
we're
asking
for
$100,000
maintenance,
contract
I
think
that's
a
small
dollar
that
would
allow
us
to
address
this.
Last
year,
I
put
the
end
to
replacing
brick
streets
with
concrete
patches.
If
they're
dug
up
now,
there
are
multiple
streets
with
gravel
patches
that
we're
waiting
for
this
to
be
passed
and
we'd
like
to
be
able
to
have
some
sort
of
a
maintenance
contract.
AE
Z
V
AE
AE
V
Y
While
it
may
be
aspirational,
I
think
we
as
a
council
need
to
know
what
we
are
looking
at
here
in
order
to
preserve
brick
streets,
so
that
we
can
be
ready
to
determine
whether
or
not
we're
truly
ready
to
commit,
because
what
we
cannot
do
is
pass
the
plan
with
no
intention
of
seeing
it
come
to
fruition.
That's
not
fair
to
the
residents
on
the
streets
and
it's
not
fair
to
the
residents
of
the
city
period
and
I.
Y
Y
T
T
Julian
said
in
in
public
comment
that
he's
seen
his
street
Kateri
deteriorate
over
the
10
years.
So
my
concern
is,
if
we
passed
this,
but
we
don't
know
where
the
fundings
going
to
come
from
is
like
it's
just
I
I'm
not
connecting
the
dots
there.
So
I
have
two
questions
related
to
funding
and
we
may
be
off
the
topic
a
little
bit,
but
are
there
other
funding
sources
available?
T
AE
A
couple
different
questions
in
there,
so
alderman
Helmut
I'll
try
to
address
some
first
grants.
We
have
tried
to
look
at
that.
We
will
continue
to
see
any
opportunities.
We
can
an
approved
master
plan
as
the
baseline
for
any
sort
of
a
grant
application.
So
so,
yes,
we'll
continue
to
you
know
to
look
at
that
as
an
option.
We
don't
know
of
one
right
now,
but
even
things
like
CDBG
funds
can
be
used.
There
can
be
some
other
funding
sources,
but
those
are
always
coveted
dollars.
AE
There's
so
many
different
things
you
could
use
them
for
I
will
say
bypassing
this
and
if
the
council
passes
us
tonight
as
a
staff,
I
would
be
no
matter
what
bringing
that
hundred
thousand
dollars
into
the
budget
for
consideration
next
year
for
maintenance
contract,
because
that
would
provide
just
a
baseline
for
us
to
kind
of
stop
the
bleeding
so
to
speak,
of
our
brick
streets.
Allow
for
there
to
be
a
baseline.
AE
If,
if
you
look
and
we'll
do
in
the
next
presentation
from
Munroe
I'll
show
you
pictures
and
you'll
get
a
see,
some
of
what
Julian
had
talked
about
with
his
Street
and
showing
some
of
the
areas
that
have
been
patched
and
you
can
see
how
they've
been
pervasive
and
and
this
this
maintenance
contract
would
kind
of
it
wouldn't
be
the
end-all
be-all.
But
it
would
start
to
give
us
data.
It
would
start
to
give
us
some
numbers
in
the
future
and
then
your
last
question
dealt
with.
AE
T
AE
Was
originally
in
the
first
2009
master
plan,
consideration
that
can
be
controversial,
and
so
honestly
we
pulled
it
out.
It
was
one
of
those
it
didn't
have
a
lot
of
it
had
variable
support
someone
in
it
some
didn't
again.
This
is
not
an
end-all
BRF.
Our
council
passed
this
and
wanted
to
look
at
that
as
a
policy
level
decision
that
can
happen.
AE
That
could
happen
regardless
there
is
a
B
Illinois
state
law
allows
for
an
SSA
if
51%
of
the
people
wanted
to
put
forth
and
move
forward
with
that
they
could
do
that,
regardless
of
any
policy
action
by
our
council.
But
that's
why
we
said:
well,
let's
not
even
put
it
in
there,
but
if
you
wanted
that
in
the
future
and
a
Frieda
and
a
future
consideration,
we
absolutely
could
look
at
that
and.
T
T
Well,
if
this
may
be
cost-effective,
inefficient
for
brick
streets,
but
in
terms
of
the
number
of
streets
that
we
have,
that
need
resurfacing,
I'm,
not
sure
it's
the
best
use
of
money
and
then
well-planned
city
with
necessary
services
and
infrastructure,
again
I'm,
just
having
a
difficult
time
with
with
brick
streets,
given
the
other.
All
the
other
needs
that
we
have
sorry
dopamine's.
AD
AD
First
of
all,
if
memory
serves
me
right,
I'm
not
sure,
do
we
have
other
master
plans
that
have
have
a
spending
plan
embedded
in
them
or
do
we
simply
have
master
plans
that
that
kind
of
talk
about
the
watts,
if
you
will
and
then
staff
goes
in-
and
you
know
kind
of
tender
parcels
out
the
different
parts
of
the
comprehensive
plan
and
brings
those
backers
as
budgeted
items
and
so
forth.
I
I,
don't
really
recall
seeing
another
master
plan
that
has
a
10-year
proposed
spending
in
it,
but
maybe
I
could
be
wrong.
No.
AE
No,
it's
okay,
we,
it
does
vary
yeah.
You
are
correct,
some
do
and
some
don't.
We
did
the
brick
Street
master
plan.
We
modeled
it
after
the
sidewalk
master
plan
that
went
well,
it
was
successful.
We
reused
a
lot
of
the
different
pieces
and
kind
of
that
template
and
the
sidewalk
master
plan.
I
think
honestly
has
been
extremely
successful,
well-received
by
citizens.
AE
It
is
very
it's
a
policy
level
document,
but
also
sets
a
ten-year
spending
plan
that,
after
ten
years
we
even
let
the
council
know
if
you
consistently
meet
this
spending
plan
here,
who
you
will
be
so
we
said
service
level
existing
we
set
proposed.
That
was
a
staff
driven
document
and
you
as
a
council,
have
been
needing
close
to
close
to
meeting
those
funding
levels
and
I.
Think
that
because
of
that,
we've
been
able
to
be
responsive
with
sidewalk
expenditures
and
requests,
and-
and
so
it's
been
very
well
received,
so
this
would
be
similar.
Okay,.
AD
AE
This
is
going
to
be
in
the
next
item
that
is
going
to
be
tied
it
to
Monroe.
So
if
it's
okay,
we,
this
is
dealing
with
the
master
plan.
Now
the
next
piece
is
going
to
be
that
first
first
year,
first
phase
and
that's
that
piece
is
going
to
be
the
engineering
services
associated
with
the
design
and
construction
inspection
of
that
first
and
highest
priority
Monroe
Street
from
Robinson
McClinton.
So
that
will
be
addressed
in
our
next
council
item.
Is
that
what
you're
talking
about?
But.
AD
AD
I'm
concerned
that
that
leaving
the
Pretender
spending
but
proposed
ten-year
spending
inside
of
the
plan
creates
what
will
create
unrealistic
and
and
and
quite
quite
candidly,
unfair
expectations
for
people
who
who
reside
on
brick
streets.
They
will
not
hear
they
will
not
hear
the
conversation
and
everything
that
we've
had
here.
They
will
look
at
the
plan.
AD
They
will
see
the
ten-year
plan
embedded
in
there
and
they
will
as
I
think
most
of
us
probably
would
if
we,
if
we
didn't
have
you
know
access
to
this
level
of
conversation
that
we're
having
here,
they're
gonna
say
that
this
is
going
forward,
and
so
you
know
back
to
back
to
Jamie's
point.
This
has
to
be
part
of
a
lot
in
Dianna's.
As
well,
it
says
because
it
have
to
be
part
of
a
larger
conversation
as
far
as
our
budget
priorities.
AD
Therefore,
I
am
I
am
not
comfortable
with
leaving
leaving
it
in
there
I
mean
we
could
simply
delete
section
eleven
point
two
from
the
plan
leave
everything
else
intact,
but
and-
and
we
can
put
the
spending
plan
in
a
parking
lot,
we
can.
We
can
set
it
aside
as
part
of
our
budget
or
larger
budget
conversation
I'm
just
concerned
about
again
leaving
it
in
the
plan.
It
suggests
that
that
the
dollars
are
going
to
be
there
and
and
we're
simply
a
long
way
from
that
room.
You
know
it's.
AE
A
fair
point:
if
I
could
put
the
suggestion
of
staff
suggestion
forward,
you
can
pass
this
with
changing
11.2
instead
of
years
to
say,
phases
and
and
I
and
I've
heard
a
couple.
Different
people
say
that
that
way,
there's
no!
You
know
misconception
about
the
fact
that
this
is
year
one
year,
two
you're
guaranteed
spending.
If
you
change
it
to
phases,
then
you're
dealing
with
it
when
the
opportunity
and
the
funding
level
arises,
but
it
still
allows
for
prioritization,
because
I
still
will
go
back
to
from
a
staff
perspective.
AE
We
like
the
policy
and
the
perspective
of
the
the
prioritization
matters
to
us,
so
we
can
also,
though,
deal
with
residents.
Well,
yes,
you
may
not
be
in
year
three
but
you're
in
phase
three
and
we
haven't
even
gotten
to
phase
one.
So
there's
no
expectation
as
far
as
kind
of
people
understand
where
they're
at
but
but
but.
AD
AD
The
principle
here
is:
is
that-
and
we
talked
about
this
at
the
committee-
the
whole
meeting
is
that
that
brick
streets
need
to
be
factored
in
to
all
of
the
other
infrastructure,
along
with
all
of
the
other
infrastructure
needs,
and
and
and
some
of
them
are
massive
as
part
of
our
budget
prioritization
and
our
in
the
development
of
the
next
fiscal
year
budget.
That's
my
concern
with
leaving
the
spending
plan
in
within
the
plan.
Okay,
actually.
A
At
this
point,
we
are
so
far
over
budget
in
terms
of
time
can
I
have
a
motion
to
give
us
an
extra
10
minutes,
at
least
to
wrap
up
this
part
of
the
discussion
moved
by
all
the
woman
Schmidt.
Is
there
a
second
second
second
by
all
them
in
black?
If
everyone
would
just
quickly
vote
on
that
procedural
motion,
because
we
are
way
beyond
what
we
had
budgeted
nine
to
zero.
M
X
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
Jim
and
Amelia
for
your
work
on
this
and
I
feel.
Like
we've
talked
about
this
in
a
couple
different
occasions
and
at
the
risk
of
getting
a
jimp
through
an
email
tomorrow,
you
know
probably
never
at
all.
You
know,
I
would
say
that
you
know
I,
think
about
my
time
on
council
and
I
really
do
genuinely
believe.
We
are
one
community
and
I
think
in
the
experience
that
I've
had
over
15
years
ago,
20
and
20
years
ago,
15
years
ago.
X
The
attitude
of
the
city
was
to
invest
in
neighborhoods
and
subdivisions
that
were,
and
the
outskirts
of
our
community
right
or
wrong.
That
was
the
case
and
in
my
time
here,
I
have
voted
on
several
agreements
and
one
of
which
I
did
not
vote
for
we've
had
to
pay
out
large
sums
of
money,
millions
of
dollars
as
part
of
agreements
that
we
made
a
long
time
ago-
and
we
all
sit
around
here
saying
how
do
we
get
to
this
point?
X
And
and
it's
not
a
wart
issue-
word
seven
or
a
stork
or
versus
the
East
Side
west
side
north
side.
It's
an
issue
of
people
who
believe
that
they
have
been
left
behind
and
the
policies
of
the
city
are
not
focused
on
them
and
what
I'm
hearing
here
is
a
conversation
about
priorities
and
I'm
with
you
on
that
one
I
read
in
our
comprehensive
plan.
X
It's
very
hard
for
me
as
an
alderman
to
go
back
to
a
resident
who
says
I
live
on
a
brick
street
and
it
looks
like
trash
I've
moved
here.
I
mean
you
put
the
the
cheapest
material
could
here
as
quickly
as
possible,
because
you
want
to
have
a
quick
fix
or
worse.
You
talk
about
some
of
the
gravel
areas.
X
Why?
Meanwhile,
we
are
looking
to
make
turn
lanes
larger
to
accommodate
little
bits
of
traffic
here
and
there,
so
people
are
mildly,
less
and
mildly
less
inconvenienced.
We
talk
about
sewer,
oversizing
projects
for
residents
that
have
not
even
moved
here
for
homes
that
have
not
even
been
built
in,
and
that's
just
part
of
what
we
do
and
as
I've
sat
up
here.
We've
talked
about
these
things
and
we
talked
about
priorities.
Where
are
we
putting
our
dollars
I'm?
X
There
is
no
doubt
about
that
in
each
one
of
those
areas,
we
are
going
to
be
short.
We're
gonna
have
to
make
those
tough
calls
and
I
want
to
do
it
fully
informed
of
the
policies
that
we
have
passed,
because
I
think
that
the
time
has
come
for
us
to
treat
people
fairly
in
our
historic
core
who
have
for
decades
now
really
bankrolled
a
lot
of
sprawl
that
has
negatively
impacted
their
community.
X
This
isn't
again
I
don't
want
to
be
framed
up
to
Scott
black
is
saying
the
east
side
is
bad,
not
at
all
it's
an
issue
of
fairness,
we'll
talk
about
garbage
fees
and
and
how
it's
consistent
throughout
our
entire
community.
That's
I,
get
it
but
I
hear
feedback
that
says
it
cost
the
city
less
money
to
get
to
my
house
in
the
core
when
it
cost
the
city,
probably
two
three
times
as
much
to
get
out
to
the
far
far
reaches
of
our
our
community.
X
Why
don't
they
pay
more
for
that
service,
I'm
glad
to
keep
it
fair
and
consistent
I
get
it
cost
us
more
money
to
pump
out
to
our
residents
and
there
fringes
of
our
community.
That's
right!
Okay!
I
have
no
problem
with
that.
But
now
is
the
time
we
have
to
invest
back
in
our
historic
or
the
city
made
a
choice.
Elections
have
consequences
we
are
advocating
for
investing
in
in
a
measurable
way.
That's
going
to
impact
our
city's
investments.
Our
property
owners
are
going
to
be
able
to
get
a
increase
in
value.
X
We
can
look
at
with
pride
at
some
of
our
historic
areas.
I
was
just
in
Charleston
last
week
and
they
do
a
great
job
of
historic
preservation
in
a
way
that
I
don't
think
we
would
want
to
do
here,
but
you
see
how
people
love
those
types
of
areas.
Those
are
the
photogenic
spots
of
our
community.
Franklin
Park
is
one
of
our
biggest
assets
right
there.
You
know
we
I
see
yoga
classes,
I
see
our
community
picnic
out
there.
X
These
are
things
that
bring
people
into
our
historic
core,
making
it
look
nice,
it's
a
solid
investment
for
our
future
and
that
way
people
when
they're
looking
where
they
want
to
move
in
our
community.
They
have
options,
they
can
live
in
the
suburbs
of
the
the
fringes
of
our
community.
They
can
live
in
a
hard
store
core
and
they
can
make
an
educated
choice.
They
don't
have
to
make
that
choice
of.
Why
is
this
street?
X
Look
like
it's
been
patched
up
a
hundred
times
and
what's
the
city
gonna
do
about
it
as
an
alderman,
I'll
have
to
say
I,
don't
know
with
this
I
can
point
to
saying
we
are
being
a
making
an
aggressive
policy
we
have.
We
are
looking
here
that
it's
methodical.
This
is
how
we
go
through.
This
is
one
of
the
best
reports
I've
ever
seen
and
I
prefer.
X
We
call
it
an
action
plan,
but
that's
my
own
opinion
and
if
we
make
a
decision
come
budget
time
that
we
have
to
shave
some
off
for
year,
one
because
we
have
to
move
it
to
some
other
need
I'm
comfortable,
taking
the
heat
fed,
because
that
accountability
is
back
on
me.
But
this
sets
a
a
bar
for
me
to
go
to
that
protects
our
historic
or
improves
the
investments
and
drives
our
local
economy
and
it
fits
within
the
comprehensive
plan.
P
X
P
You
know,
I
I,
definitely
appreciate
your
comments
and
actually,
as
you
were
speaking,
you
know,
it
just
kind
of
helped
me
reflect
a
little
bit.
I
think
the
plan
is
it's
it
a
good
plan.
You
know
I,
like
you
know
how
how
it
looks,
but
my
and
I
should
mention
actually
that
back
in
the
early
70s
and
lived
on
a
brick
street
in
Congo,
so
anytime,
I
Drive
by
a
brick
Street.
You
know
I
still
have
that
I.
P
P
P
P
It
did
happen,
you
know,
and
they
saw
it
in
the
plan.
Well,
this
is
what
we're
going
for.
You
know.
You
said
it
wasn't
a
plan.
You
said
you're
going
to
do
it
and
therefore
I
expect
you
to
do
it
and
at
this
point
I
I
do
feel
like
the
numbers.
Our
I
don't
seem
to
be
quite
accurate.
It
seems
like
we're
we're
pretty
tentative
with
that,
so
my
my
preference
personally
would
be
to
you
know
we
have
Monroe
Street
coming
up,
you
know
in
in
2018,
so
let's
take
a
look
at
that.
P
You
know
let's
work
on
it
and
then
maybe
we'll
have
a
a
better
sense
of
you
know
what
things
are
going
to
look
like
for
other
streets
in
the
future.
I
hope
that
that
makes
sense,
but
I
just
feel
like
things
are
at
this
point,
it's
just
like
a
shot
in
the
and
we're
we're
not
exactly
100%
sure
how
much
things
are
going
to
call
us
and
plus
the
ten
years
to
me,
a
ten-year
plan
seems
to
be
kind
of
daunting.
Those
are
my
concerns
that
I
have
with
this
I.
AE
Would
say
that
it's
it's
not
not
a
shot
in
the
air
it
is.
It
is
actually
based
upon
estimates
from
Springfield,
Columbia,
Missouri
and
then
also
a
common
area
engineering
study
from
Hanson.
So
we
did
try
to
to
give
some
numbers
to
it.
The
best
estimates
that
we
could,
but
we
also
want
to
be
transparent.
It's
not
exact,
and
so
we
really
do
think
we
still
will
stress.
We
really
feel
strongly
that
that
we
need
some
sort
of
philosophical
decision
by
the
council
of
policy.
Then
it's
a
matter
of
you
can
make
changes
later
on.
AE
We
can
tweak
it,
we
can
bring
back
like
we
did
the
bicycle
master
plan.
We
passed
it.
We
found
a
new
opportunity,
we
brought
it
back
to
our
council,
it
was
passed,
we
implemented
it.
Those
are
the
way
master
plans
are
they
should
never
be
one
and
done
they
should
be
revisited
and
looked
at
and
I
think
we're
trying
to
say
that
with
this
one,
so
we
would
still
ask
for
that
sort
of
direction.
AE
V
I
want
to
say
thank
you
Scott
for
your
eloquence
about
this
I
certainly
agree
with
us.
Living
with
the
sort
of
the
sins
of
the
past.
I
am
uncomfortable
with
I
would
hate
not
to
pass
this
plan.
I
would
hate
to
pass
a
plan
that
has
numbers
embedded
in
it.
That
I
think
at
this
moment
are
dishonest
of
us,
because
we
haven't
had
that
bigger
conversation
for
all
I
know.
You
know
we
may
decide
to
bond
some
money,
and
this
is
we'd
like
to
put
more
in
brick
streets.
V
It
feels
like
trying
to
set
the
money
into
the
plan.
Is,
is
a
false
signal
at
this
moment
in
time,
so
I
would
much
rather
pass
the
plan
without
a
ten-year
spending
plan,
go
ahead,
I'm
very,
very
supportive
of
the
Monroe
Street
changes
and
fold
this
into
our
larger
conversation
about
all
of
our
other
infrastructure
needs
and
all
of
our
other
capital
improve
plan
needs
I,
I,
don't
it!
This
feels
like
it's
being
done
in
isolation
of
that
bigger
conversation
which
we
absolutely
have
to
have
so
motion.
A
R
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
for
your
input
and
yeah
being
new
now
as
an
alderman
and
getting
through
this
packet
in
this
information.
I
have
a
lot
of
questions
about
where
we've
been
and
where
we're
going,
and
so
one
question
I
have
is
Jim
these
expenses
and
the
cost
to
do
these,
get
these
materials
and
do
these
repairs
it's
being
driven
by
the
fact
that
these
streets
are
obsolete.
Is
that
right,
this
technique
and
all
these
materials?
It's
not
the
way
streets
are
done
anymore,
they're.
AE
Not
typically,
the
way
streets
are
done
anymore,
but
what
I
would
say
is
a
lot
of
these
streets
have
been
patched
over
time
and
we'll
see
that
in
some
of
the
next
photos
in
the
next
item
they
all
have
a
lot
of
them
reached
by
you
know,
they're
the
end
of
their
useful
life.
Munro
is
kind
of
we've
been
debating.
We
debated
whether
you
could
patch
it
and
make
it
kind
of
extend
the
life
a
little
bit
of
it.
AE
R
AE
We
had
actually
pulled
it
this
time.
The
data
is
still
there.
The
data
is
still
relevant
and
there
are
many
different
types
of
funding
sources.
Ssas
there
used
to
be
some
of
those
different
types
of
districts
in
in
the
in
the
city.
Actually,
that's
a
lot
of
the
way
that
infrastructure
districts
are
some
of
the
ways
that
it
was
paid
for
in
the
past.
Historically,
what
I
would
say
with
that,
though,
is
tying
that
to
just
street
resurfacing.
AE
I
do
want
to
say
that
from
a
staff
perspective,
it
is
really
important
that
that
we've
talked
to
you
about
the
needs
for
street
resurfacing
and
our
funding
level
out
there
I
will
I
wanted
to
bring
these
numbers.
I
presented
these
to
you
in
the
past,
a
capital
improvement
plan
as
part
of
that
this
is
and
shouldn't
be
new.
We've
done
this
in
previous
presentations,
but
on
an
annual
basis,
we're
needing
between
eight
and
nine
million
dollars
a
year
for
our
resurfacing
and
what
we
have
been.
My
thanks
to
this
council.
AE
There
was
a
there
was
a
large
spending
flux
in
2014,
but
again
we've
we've
been
talking
about
and
I
appreciate.
Some
of
that
continued
discussion
about
the
infrastructure,
the
importance
of
our
streets,
but
it's
underfunded
right
now,
so
I
really
would
caution
continued.
No,
the
the
you
know,
spending
out
of
that
and
taking
away
friends
from
that,
I
realize
that's
hard
because
brick
streets
are
a
Street,
and
so
how
do
you
separate
those
two?
AE
R
You
for
that,
so,
from
my
perspective,
I
mean
there.
There
are
some
things
that
that
we
could
flesh
out
in
regards
to
some
funding
options.
There's
some
things
about
the
priority
priorities
as
far
as
setting
this
up
as
a
ten-year
plan
as
well
as
identifying
streets
in
a
particular
order.
That
may
not
be
valid
if
we
add
in
the
pieces
about
where
the
money
is
coming
from
and
who
wants
to
to
buy
in.
Z
One
super
fast
thing
is
I
will
say
that
brick
street
technology
is
not
obsolete.
It's
actually
being
used
all
over
Europe,
currently
their
reef,
putting
a
lot
of
streets
back.
So
that's
not
a
concern
of
mine
and
if
you
flip
that
it
lets
slide
with
your
expected
life
cycle
on
there,
it
says
local
streets
have
a
life
cycle
of
27
years.
Z
Well,
what
would
our
funding
model
and
that
necessarily
look
like
if
our
life
say
expectancy
was
90
years
on
all
of
our
Lowell
streets,
the
whole
conversation
with
the
different,
so
just
it's
a
perspective.
We
do
have
priority
discussions,
but
if
we
change
some
of
those
ideas
of
how
we
look
at
things
as
a
long-term
perspective,
it
could
be
drastically
different
scenario.
We're
talking
about
right
now
at.
A
V
C
Y
AE
Are
various
other
pieces
of
the
document
that
reference
back
to
that?
In
summary
aspects,
we
could
take
that
council
direction
absolutely
and
remove
any
reference,
or
we
could
just
add
something
that
the
you
know
we
could
we'll
we'll
deal
with
it
from
a
staff
perspective.
That's
fine,
but
be
very
clear.
Council
action
approve
this
without
that,
and
so.
V
We
can
make
those
changes
is
is
at
least
my
intention
about
this
is
to
make
sure
that
we
are
talking
about
brick
streets
as
as
part
of
our
infrastructure
funding
and
and
not
not
to
just
say
we
have
a
nice
plan
a
little
set
it
off
on
the
self.
So,
however,
that
what
that
means
in
terms
of
stripping
specific
tenure
spending
plan,
I,
think.
AE
AE
AE
X
X
A
I
think
I
think
it's
more
than
plan
that
sits
on
a
shelf
I
think
it's
a
policy
without
specific
dollars,
but
it
says
that
when
we
make
our
decisions
for
it's,
as
all
the
men
say,
Jie
said
when
we
were
looking
at
the
priorities
of
all
of
our
expenditures.
In
all
our
capital
plans.
Brick
streets
is
at
the
table
and.
A
I
think,
as
you
put
it,
you're
willing
to
take
the
heat
for
saying
no
well
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
meet
the
hundred
percent
of
that
we're
gonna.
Take
some
of
that
out
or
we're
gonna
prioritize.
We've
got
to
put
money
into
sewers.
We've
got
to
put
money
into
regular
street
resurfacing.
We've
got
to
put
money
into
a
lot
of
stuff,
but
that
that
this
would
be
at
the
table
as
I
see,
it
is
a
conceptual
500-foot.
X
So
III
hear
it
and
and
I
understand
the
motion.
I'm
rebuilding
no
on
it,
because
I
like
to
put
my
money
where
my
mouth
is
and
I
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
that
piece
in
there
and
maybe
it's
phases
or
stages
or
whatever
you
want
to
call.
It
I
think
that
takes
out
kind
of
the
core
of
what
we're
up
to
because
I.
Imagine
there's
a
final
published
version
of
this
would
just
be
this
plan
without
11.2
in
there,
which
kind
of
takes
out
the
meat
of
the
the
sandwich.
A
AD
A
I
can
and
I
can
summarize
looking
with
the
the
maker
of
the
motion,
who
can
smack
me
if
I'm
incorrect?
This
is
a
motion
which
says
we
have
a
brick
streets
plan.
We
are
committing
to
that
conceptually
at
500
feet,
that's
going
to
be
at
the
table
when
we
consider
all
of
the
issues
that
we
have
to
consider
when
we
put
together
this
budget
when
we
put
together
the
next
budget
when
we
put
together
the
budget
after
that,
just
that
it
is
a
priority.
These
are
the
goals,
ideally
that
we
would
achieve.
AE
Could
I
make
a
suggestion
sure,
if
possible,
why
don't
we
as
a
staff,
make
the
tweaks
to
it?
Let's
make
the
adjustments
to
the
plan,
there's
nothing
that
says
you
have
to
pass
this
tonight,
while
as
a
staff
I
hesitate
in
the
past.
When
we
haven't
passed
something
in
one
night,
it
doesn't
happen
sometimes
for
a
long
time
I
will
I
am
thankful.
Our
city
manager,
Steve
Rasmussen,
will
ensure
that
we
get
this
done.
I
know
he
will.
AE
A
AD
C
C
C
Y
A
V
M
AD
I
always
appreciate
our
attorneys
on
the
board
right.
Here's.
What
I
thought
Karen
said
was
that
references
11.
That's
why
I
asked
for
clarification
to
say:
are
there
references
elsewhere
in
the
plan
that
that
either
call
out
specific
spending
or
reference
11.2,
I'm
saying
those
need
to
be
removed
and
and
and
that's
what
I
thought
Karen
said?
AD
That's
why
Amelia
jumped
on
that,
because
she
was
she
was
seeing
if
it
was
locked
down
to
just
11
point,
2
and
and
and
what
I'm
saying
is
that
it
doesn't
seem
to
me
to
give
us
much
credibility
if
we
remove
11.2
and
leave
references
elsewhere
in
the
document
to
11.2
that
this
doesn't
seem
seem
reasonable.
So
can.
Y
AD
Y
Concern
so
I'll
be
very
explicit
about
my
concern
is
when
you
say
that
we
should
move
any
references
to
spending
or
estimates
that
that
potentially
impacts
a
large
portion
of
this
plan.
That's
informational
about
you
know
our
best
estimates
of
cost
I
I,
don't
see
a
need
to
remove
those
based
on
what
Karen
said.
Is
that
incorrect.
AD
A
C
R
I'm
just
unclear
how
you
can
vote
on
a
document
that
isn't
marked
fully
that
I'm,
not
sure
that
it
has
your
full
philosophy
in
it.
It
certainly
does
in
10.5
set
out
the
particulars
of
whichever
properties
are
identified,
and
if
you
have
an
overall
brick
philosophy,
how
does
it
incorporate
that
I'm
just
unclear
how
you
go
forward
and
vote
if
I'm.
R
R
A
As
we
understand
11
point
up
there,
okay,
if
as
I,
understand
and
then
I-
will
because
we're
still
clarifying-
as
we
are
voting
that
if
we
removed
eleven
point
two,
it
is
just
its
expenditures,
not
necessarily
estimates
and
I
believe
that's
way.
Alderman
sage
put
it
he's.
Okay,
I
think
we're
all.
Some
are
okay.
With
estimates
wrap
it
up,
you're
right,
I'm,
trying
to
do
that,
but
but
between
not
stepping
on
people's
toes
so
okay.
At
this
point,.
V
V
I
would
hope
that
the
spending
would
be
larger
than
smaller,
but
I,
don't
think,
as
I
said
before,
I
think
it's
a
dishonest
of
us
to
say:
okay,
we
got
a
plan
here
for
eight
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
we
don't
even
know
how
big
the
puddle
of
water
is
that
we
have
to
spend
on
everything
that
has
to
be
part
of
another
conversation.
For
me,
okay,.
A
AA
AE
C
AE
Part
of
the
Monroe
Street
brick
discussion.
This
is
the
first
phase
year,
the
highest
priority.
Brick
Street
out
of
the
recently
passed
and
approved
Brook
Street
master
plan,
the
heat
our
water
director,
Bobby
L,
is
here
in
the
front
because
this
also
has
water
infrastructure
impacts,
and
so,
if
there's
any
questions,
he'll
be
available
for
those
as
well.
From
this
standpoint,
what
we're
talking
about
is
again
in
the
the
highest
priority.
Brick
street
out
of
the
master
plan
is
Monroe
Street
from
Robinson
to
Clinton.
Again,
whenever
we
look
at
this,
we
look
at
pictures.
AE
So
again,
when
we
look
at
those
photos,
here
is
an
area
that
we
really
want
to
highlight
on
Monroe
up
a
Z
at
the
intersection
at
Clinton,
s'en
you'll
see
there's
a
lot
of
rutting.
That
happens
and
that's
one
of
the
the
issues
long-term
of
the
brick
streets,
we're
trying
to
accommodate
in
the
design
any
time
you'll
drive
at
Brook
Street.
That's
why,
on
Elm
or
chestnut
there
were
some
changes
that
went
to
concrete,
because
then
those
brick
streets,
the
they
need
the
trucks
as
they
would
come
up
to
the
intersection.
AE
The
force
from
those
trucks
breaks
up
the
underneath
underneath
the
base,
and
so
that's
what
causes
this
failure
in
this
rutting,
and
so
we
have
to
be
able
to
deal
with
that
long-term.
So
the
the
estimated
cost
of
nYSSA's
from
some
preliminary
work,
this
done
by
Hanson,
is
eight
hundred
and
thirty
six
thousand
dollars.
Let's
break
that
down,
though-
and
this
is
this
deals
in
addition
with
sidewalks
some
of
the
also
the
different
pavements
that
go
into
the
driveway
approaches
for
four
houses.
It
also
deals
with
that.
AE
So
the
127,000
that
you're
referencing
before
alderman
sage,
it
was
for
this
item
dealing
with
both
the
design
and
construction
engineering
associated
with
this
section
of
Monroe.
And
so
then
we
move
on
to
the
water.
Whenever
the
water
department
looked
at
this
section,
while
they
wouldn't
have
improved
the
water
main
next
year,
you
know
that
it's
not
something
that
was
high
in
their
priority
list.
Unfortunately,
though,
if
you're
gonna
do
a
brick
street,
that's
the
time
to
do
any
improvement
underneath
of
there
it's
gonna.
AE
If
it's
gonna
last
a
hundred
plus
years,
you've
got
to
make
sure
what's
underneath
gets
fixed,
otherwise
you're
right
back
to
all
the
of
the
patchwork.
So
so
mr.
Yale
appropriately
said
well
I
need
to
move
this.
If
the
council
approves
it
as
part
of
the
same
action
item
so
but
I
want
to
make
sure
to
separate
the
two
you
can't
you
know,
tie
that
together
and
say
that
total
cost.
AE
It
was
another
piece
of
infrastructure
and
so
again,
if
we
break
down
the
design
services
as
part
of
what
we're
talking
about
it's
one
hundred
twenty
seven
thousand
plus
the
fifty
two
for
the
water
main
design
and
construction
engineering.
So
all
of
that
does
bring
this
this
block
of
Monroe
a
two
over
a
million
dollars,
but
you
have
to
take
into
account
that's
that
block-to-block
mentality
that
we've
been
discussing.
A
AE
That
were
approved,
then
the
design
would
begin
and
then
the
what
would
happen
is
as
part
of
the
budget
process.
Then
the
council
would
consider
the
remainder
of
Monroe
to
be
budgeted
in
the
next
year
and
that's
what
we
discussed
that
last
and
there
8d,
and
so,
if
you
approve
the
designs
tonight,
we
would
go
ahead
and
move
forward
and
look
to
get
the
plans
completed,
see
if
it's
in
the
budget
bid
the
project
and
then
have
some
better
cost
dollars
approving
this
tonight.
AE
These
can
consulting
services,
does
not
commit
the
council
to
approving
the
construction
budget.
I
think
that's
important
to
note
so
that
doesn't
say
by
approving
this.
If
you
did
that
we
have
to
move
forward
to
the
construction.
It
just
takes
that
first
step
to
get
the
work
designed.
So
at
that
point
would
take
any
questions
that
you
have
all.
Y
Z
AE
Y
A
very
big
number,
ultimately
it's
a
very
big
number
and
and
I
think
you
know
we
can't
get
to
the
final
cost
until
we
do
some
engineering
studies,
because
we
just
don't
have
enough
information,
so
I
think
that's
helpful
to
keep
in
mind,
but
equally
important
I
think
is
the
lifecycle
cost.
So
we've
touched
on
a
lot
tonight
how
these
streets
have
a
longer
life
cycle
by
far
compared
to
asphalt
and
when
you
do
the
life
cycle,
analysis
and
I.
Y
Did
this
and
I
had
someone
check,
my
math
actually
had
two
people
check
my
math
to
make
sure
I
got
it
right
and
when
you
do
the
life
analysis
on
this
portion
of
Monroe.
Looking
at
your
estimates
from
last
year
for
asphalt
resurfacing
and
putting
it
out
over
a
hundred
years
and
I
only
used
three
percent
interest,
I
know
you've
in
the
past.
That
says,
six
percent
is
closer
to
what
asphalt
increasing
by,
but
I
was
conservative
over
that
time
period.
Y
Y
I,
wouldn't
necessarily
take
that
as
gospel,
but
again
I
did
have
someone
check
my
math
based
on
a
three
percent
increase
and
we
use
a
twenty
year
in
a
row.
Instead,
a
thirty
year
interval,
cuz,
I,
think
20
years,
but
manin,
and
certainly
that's
the
number
that
perhaps
in
the
future
staff,
should
double-check
it
and
look
at
itself.
Y
Y
This
doesn't
look
like
a
rational
decision,
but
when
you
take
it
out
over
that
time
period,
it
is
a
more
rational
decision,
especially
when
you
bring
into
consideration
the
the
other
aspects
to
this,
which
is
that
number
one?
If
we
don't
do
this,
it's
gone,
we
there
is
no.
There
is
no
plan.
There
is
no
preservation,
but
hopefully
you
know
if
council
decides
to
move
forward
getting
more
information.
We
can
begin
to
introduce
some
of
that
conversation
about
what
does
the
long
term
implications
look
like
for
these
streets
and
is
there
a
cost
parity?
T
If
we
do
the
design
work
without
a
sense
that
we're
going
to
continue
with
that,
it
seems
to
me
it
seems
inappropriate.
It's
just
a
comment
and
then
I
have
another.
But
I
do
have
a
question
too,
and
that
is
if
the
streets
last,
if
at
a
brick,
Street
lasts
up
to
ninety
to
ninety
to
a
hundred
years.
How
long
is
just
half
as
long
as
the
water
main
last.
T
AE
AE
Information
to
add
that
just
using
our
own
data
in
this
community
on
city
streets,
this
is
pavement
condition
over
time.
Right
now,
the
council
for
local
streets
has
a
rating
that
we
don't
want
to
get
lower
than
three,
and
so
our
data
shows
that
our
streets
reach
that
in
twenty-two
to
twenty-seven
years,
and
so
the
from
that
standpoint
and
then
the
the
estimate
from
2016
when
the
residents
did
want
to
have
this
resurfaced.
AE
C
AE
The
sidewalks
and
the
other
one
dealt
with
the
driveway
aprons
as
well,
and
so
normally
we
don't
touch
driver
aprons
and
so,
as
part
of
that
over
when
you
do
a
complete
overhaul
of
the
street,
like
we
did
on
Linden,
for
example,
sometimes
you
have
to
adjust
and
deal
with
driveway
aprons,
that's
fairly
standard
but
resurfacing.
You
don't
typically
I'm.
R
Just
struggling
with
how
this
this
is
the
city's
bill,
I'm
just
having
a
real
hard
time
with
that
and
the
reason
being
that
when
these
streets
were
put
in,
they
were
the
common
construction
and
today
they're
no
longer
the
common
construction
and
so
you're
paying
premium
prices
to
try
to
figure
it
all
out
and
seems
to
me.
Surely
there's
some
other
solution
that
is
somehow
more
more
cost-effective
and
still
gives
residents
the
streets
that
everyone
else
has.
R
X
You
thank
you
again
to
me.
This
is
why
voting
having
the
spending
piece
in
the
plan
is
important
and
why
I
voted
against
it,
because
here
we
are
talking
about
where
it
lines
up
and
in
our
phases,
and
this
is
all
part
and
parcel.
As
we
talked
about
earlier
yeah,
we
don't
know
what
the
ultimate
outcome
might
be.
We
have
to
do
some
of
this
design
work.
I
think
this
is
a
priority
for
a
key
area.
That's
going
to
be
a
signature
for
the
neighborhood.
Yes,
it's
a
little
expensive.
X
Yes,
we
can
do
it
on
on
the
cheap,
but
I'm.
That's
not
that's!
Not
the
approach
I
want
to
take
in
this
case.
I
think
this
is
an
example
of
us
trying
to
protect
our
historic
neighborhoods,
invest
in
them
appropriately.
Maybe
it'd
cost
a
little
bit
more
and
and
it's
hard
to
say,
44
large
plus,
then,
whatever
the
other
cost,
you
talked
about
our
being.
X
A
AE
Me
back
up:
let
me
back
up
here
too,
because
again,
that's
really
more
of
that
44,000,
the
construction
costs
of
the
700,000.
That
700,000
also
includes
sidewalk
work
and
some
driveway
aprons.
So
it
did
to
be
fair.
I
don't
want
this,
that
those
numbers
seem
very
inequitable,
but
you
don't
want
to
make
sure
you
got
the
full
picture
too.
Okay,.
A
Y
A
U
You
very
much
mayor
and
to
make
sure
that
we
get
through
this
quickly.
I
will
be
brief,
but
I
did
want
to
make
one
note,
and
that
is
that
the
signage
committee
has
been
working
for
the
last
two
months
and
they
would
like
to
bring
the
new
signage
designs
forward
to
the
City
Council
at
the
work
session
at
the
next
date
of
the
City
Council
meeting,
which
would
be
the
11th
that
I'm
not
going
to
present
that.
Could
you
please
turn
that
off
nice?
Try,
though,.
A
U
U
That's
what
they
would
like
to
do
and
I
wanted
to
give
you
that
as
a
preview,
if
that
would
seem
like
it
work,
ok
with
you
and
I'd
be
happy
to
take
comments
now
or
later
on
that
and
then
we're
interested
in
doing
that,
so
that,
once
you
get
a
vote
on
it,
then
we
can
send
that
out.
So
that
we
begin
to
get
the
design
specifications,
so
we
can
actually
commit
for
the
expenditure
of
the
funds
in
this
year's
budget.
U
So
we
I
hope
everybody's
had
a
chance
to
look
at
those
to
see
what
the
public
is
voted
on
and
we
wanted
to
bring
it
back
to
a
work
session
on
the
11th
and
then,
since
we've
already
put
that
up
what's
happened
is
the
council
and
members
of
the
public
have
asked
before
what
are
the
downtown
events
that
are
coming
about?
The
newspaper
usually
presents
them
after
they've
happened
and
people
say
gee
I
wish
I
would
have
known
about
that.
U
A
The
title
the
summer
fun
downtown,
so
I
look
forward
to
January
fun
downtown.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
anything
else.
Okay,
actually
I.
The
only
thing
that
I
have
I
would
like
to
thank
all
the
woman
howlman
for
going
to
the
National
League
of
Cities
and
representing
us.
I
do
as
a
result
of
that
I
do
want
to
issue
a
a
friendly
competition
for
next
year
with
our
town
of
normal.
As
I
recall,
they
had
five
and
we
had
one
can
we
try
to
reach
five
Perley
next
year?
They.
B
A
I
didn't
realize
that
they
offered
that
to
you.
Okay,
they
never
offer
that
to
me,
but
anyway,
it's
certainly
a
great
conference
to
be
able
to
to
to
network
as
well
as
to
have
people
that
you
can
commiserate
with
or
a
call
I
can't
tell
you
how
great
it
is
to
call
mayors-
and
you
know,
even
if
you're,
just
calling
and
venting
or
saying
whatever,
and
sometimes
they
have
good
ideas.
T
Helmet
just
to
follow
up
on
and
I'll
see
the
the
agenda
finally
came
out
late
Friday
afternoon
and
I've
forwarded
information
to
each
of
you
in
there
was.
It
was
a
consent
agenda.
There
was
only
one
item
pulled
and
I
can't
even
now
tell
you
what
it
was.
It
got
tuned
a
votes
out
of
the
150
or
200
people
that
were
voting
delegates,
so
obviously
it
wasn't
earth-shattering
it.
So
there
really
isn't
anything
to
report
in
terms
of
action
that
they
took.
