A
Okay,
good
evening,
everybody
we
are
gonna,
go
ahead
and
move
forward
with
our
ceo
bloomington
township
meeting
and
we're
going
to
start
with
a
public
hearing
first
and
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
at
5
31
and
we
need
to
take
record
of
attendance.
Correct.
B
That
is
correct.
Okay,
all
right
trustee,
matthew.
C
A
Okay
and
the
subject
today
is
the
the
proposed
fiscal
year
2023
budget
and
I
guess
we're
gonna
move
ahead
with
a
presentation,
quick
presentation
from
township
supervisor.
If
at
all,.
D
If,
at
all,
I
did
not
prepare
a
presentation,
it's
been
in
front
of
the
public's
viewing.
C
A
Okay,
I
understood
thank
you
and
I
guess
at
this
point
we're
going
to
move
ahead
to
comments
and
discussions
from
council
members
need
me.
E
E
You
and
I
sent
this
to
deb
before
the
meeting,
but
so
my
question
is:
it
shows
that
the
general
assistance
fund
will
be
below
200
000
by
the
end
of
2023,
and
then
you
know,
I've
seen
it
continually
drop
over
the
last
few
years.
Is
that
going
to
be
concerned
eventually
with
it
continuing
to
drop,
and
how
are
we
going
to
address
getting
more
money
and
the
appropriate
amount
of
money
in
that
fund?.
D
I
believe
that,
can
you
hear
me
okay,
can
you
hear
me.
D
Yeah,
I
I
I
don't
have
a
concern
for
that
at
this
time.
Our
numbers
for
the
year
end
this
fiscal
year
end
are
a
lot
lower
than
what
was
budgeted.
We
weren't
sure
how
covid
would
affect
us.
This
past
year
we
haven't
seen
the
the
amount
of
expenses
as
we
anticipated,
because
there
is
still
remaining
state
and
federal
funding,
there's
also
ides
overpayments
that
we
aren't
able
to
pay
on.
So
we
haven't
had
the
people
come
in
as
we
expected
to
see
so
that
will
roll
over
into
the
fund
balance
for
the
next
year.
F
Okay,
my
question
was
very
similar
to
yours.
I
still
look
at
the
same
number
and
yeah.
I
just
I
assume
that
was
maybe
deb,
because
we
were
helping
more
people.
You.
C
D
There
are
a
lot
of
factors
that
go
into
you
know
where
we're
at
today.
I
I
do
want
to
address
you
in
a
different
way
than
I
did
with
trustee
crable,
because
in
looking
at
the
numbers
each
year,
what
we
did,
if
you
notice
the
expenses
on
the
general
assistance,
you
see
that
those
numbers
basically
went
down
in
fiscal
year
21.
D
That
was
the
start
of
the
covid.
We
also
levied
less
in
that
2020
time
frame,
because
we
we
don't
necessarily
want
an
overabundance
in
the
general
assistance
when
we
can't
move
that
money
that
has
to
remain
in
there.
So
we
allowed
for
that
flexibility
to
move
into
the
general
town
fund.
That
was
for
this.
It
ended
up
being
for
the
serp
and
for
other
programs
such
as
our
workfare
program
and
then
also
for
our
building
maintenance.
We
were
able
to
not
bond.
D
You
know,
establish
a
bond
for
that
money
because
we've
been
saving
for
it
for
a
number
of
years.
So
with
that,
there's
just
a
lot
of
ebb
and
flow
of
things,
and
I
wanted
to
just
if
you
give
me
a
minute
just
to
touch
on
this
too.
D
In
the
report
I
pulled
some
reports
for
year
end
for
general
assistance
in
2000
you're
in
2020
fiscal
year,
and
we
had
many
more
grants
in
the
emergency
assistance
than
we
did
in
the
general
than
the
year
before,
both
in
numbers
and
dollars,
and
then
we
go
into
the
fiscal
year.
2021
year
end
we
had
23
thousand
dollars
less
in
the
work
fare
program
expenses
because
we
didn't
have
work
fare
anymore
because
of
covid.
We
had
other
funding
sources,
so
we
saw
a
lot
of
denials
and
emergency
systems.
D
You
see
there's
a
lot
of
different
factors
that
play
into
the
park.
We
had
1500
more
phone
calls,
though,
that
we
couldn't
assist
because
of
other
governmental
funding,
and
then
in
this
fiscal
year
end
we
have
rents
now
going
up
100
to
200,
you
know
per
landlord-tenant
relationship,
so
we're
anticipating
those
numbers
are
going
to
go
up
in
terms
of
client
needs.
D
Ammon
and
nicor
have
a
moratorium.
That's
being
lifted
now,
however,
lie
heaps
still
in
place
until
they
run
out
of
money.
At
this
point,
they're
not
out
of
money
but
cobdg
or
cdbg
monies
from
the
city
are
about
ready
to
run
out.
In
fact
we're
not
sending
any
more
to
them
right
now.
So
a
lot
of
things
fluctuate
we're
just
anticipating
and
preparing
for
the
need.
We
have
the
200
000
that
was
allowed
to
be
transferred
over
from
gt
that
really
hasn't
moved
yet
until
we
need
it.
E
It
keeps
going
off
sorry,
I'm
not
supposed
to
be
talking,
but
additional
funds
could
be
taken
from
the
the
general
the
townsh
town
fund
right,
if
needed.
Okay,.
D
A
C
A
G

their
commitment
to
our
community.
Thank
you.
Do
you
want
to
come
forward
and
get
the
certificate?
L
Think
I
think,
there's
a
handful
of
folks
that
are
happy.
I'm
not
here
for
public
comment
tonight.
I
just
want
to
bring
up
that
broadcast
education,
association,
signature
station
award,
it's
given
annually
by
the
bea
to
the
best
college
radio
station
in
the
world.
It's
an
international
competition
and
z
d
has
won
this
award
three
times
in
the
last
five
years.
L
There
are
over
700
college
radio
stations
in
the
country
and
countless
more
worldwide
so
and
we're
the
only
schools
ever
won
it
three
times
and
to
do
it
during
a
year
in
which
we
were
a
little
bit
handcuffed
by
covid
is
even
more,
I
think
special
for
all
of
us,
but
truly
this
is
their
award.
This
is
the
students
award
right,
I'm
just
the
guy
steering
the
ship
they're,
the
ones
with
the
oars.
So
briefly,
I
want
to
let
our
general
manager,
madeleine
moore,
just
say
a
couple
remarks.
M
A
N
A
N
N
Each
have
successfully
completed
an
intense
18-month
probation
training
which
consisted
of
a
12
or
14-week
illinois
police
academy
program,
approved
by
the
illinois
law
enforcement
training
and
standards
board
and
up
to
an
18-week
field
training
program
with
the
bloomington
police
department.
These
officers
chose
this
noble
profession,
which
requires
a
servant,
heart
high
integrity
and
tremendous
courage.
N
N
During
the
most
difficult
time
in
the
history
of
law
enforcement
and
its
profession,
these,
as
well
as
113
other
bloomington
police
officers,
chose
to
take
an
oath
to
serve
in
this
law
enforcement
profession
and
be
difference
makers
in
this
community.
I
am
very
thankful
for
their
sacrifices,
valiant
efforts
and
commitment
to
duty
on
a
daily
basis.
C
N
N
They
have
an
intent
to
get
married
may
of
2023.
That's
what
I've
been
told
right,
very
good.
Before
joining
the
bloomington
police

I'm

N
Samantha's
late

a
huge

of
law
enforcement,
especially
the
bloomington

She

have

yous

service.
N
A
Well,
thank
you
all
very
much.
We
definitely
appreciate
the
work
that
you
do
now
and
the
work
that
you
will
continue
to
do,
particularly
at
a
what
I
think
is
a
very
challenging
time
for
for
law
enforcement.
So
we're
very
appreciative
and
I
think
cement
that
gets
you
closer
to
your
30-30
pledge
right.
A
Okay,
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
our
public
comment
and
I
think
we
already
have
a
few
young
ones
who
want
to
give
public
comments.
It
seems
like
and
madame
clay.
Do
we
have
any
public
comment.
B
We
do
we
have
three
people
registered
scott
steinle
and
gary
lambert
and
dick
taylor.
If
you'd
like
to
start
with
your
statement,
sure.
A
A
A
A
O
Scott
steimling,
my
concern
is
the
roads
are
crumbling
under
our
feet:
the
fireworks
they
with
monies
that
are
spent
on
the
fireworks.
Why
can't
they
be
canceled?
They
were.
We
did
it
without
them
in
2019
and
20
and
21..
Why
can't
we
do
it
without
them
in
22
and
put
the
money
right
in
the
roads
where
they
belong?
The
the
storm
inlets
are
sunk
down,
solo
they're
below
the
curb
line
on
fleetwood
drive
in
front
of
201.
O
If
you
want
to
go
check
it
out,
that
is
absolutely
unforgivable.
I
mean
to
think
that
the
city
they
keep
raising
the
motor
fuel
tax,
they,
the
home
rule
tax
they've,
always
got
ideas
to
raise
revenue,
but
they
don't
keep
up
the
infrastructure
and
there
are
places
that
I've
washed
the
roads
washed
away
down
to
the
end
of
the
street,
where
I'm
at
and
I've
brought
hunks
of
the
road
to
the
meetings.
O
Hadn't
done
a
bit
of
good
they're,
still
getting
they're
getting
worse,
they're,
not
getting
any
better,
and
they
won't
get
any
better
without
attention.
But
the
city's
got
all
kinds
of
money
to
spend
on
everything
else.
We
don't
need
a
new
swimming
pool.
There
are
other
pools
in
the
city
of
bloomington
that
we
don't
need
to
spend
that
kind
of
money
on
a
swimming
pool
that
can
be
used
a
few
months
out
of
the
year.
O
O
So
you
know
I'm
still
waiting
to
see
the
day
that
those
are
addressed.
I
understand
the
force
is
like
three
months
away,
but
now's
the
time
to
stop
those
fireworks
from
not
on
the
third
of
july.
O
P
I
see
we're
spending
more
out
of
the
reserve
fund
on
the
pools
than
we
are
on
the
roads.
This
year
we
read
the
numbers
correctly.
Q
Evening
name
is
dick
taylor
from
bloomington.
I
wanted
to
come
to
the
council
meeting
and
a
friend
of
mine
is
here
with
me
and
I
didn't
put
his
name
down.
I
wasn't
sure
if
he
was
going
to
show
or
not
his
name
was
dad
sitting
right
there.
Q
We
had
an
issue
on
the
west
side
of
bloomington,
which
everyone's
aware
of
about
the
drainage,
water,
floods
and
people's
basement
and
everything
I
own
two
properties
on
the
west
side
of
bloomington.
I
won't
give
it
an
address
and
my
friend
ed
lives
over
there.
Also
we
were
giving
the
runaround
until
we
contacted
an
individual
by
the
name
of
dee
she's
on
the
council
right
there.
With
her
help,
we
were
able
to
get
things
going
in
the
right
direction,
which
they
said
that
they're
they're
going
to
redo
the
sewer,
my
understanding
as
time
permits.
Q
Q
Thank
you
very
much
and
without
her
help
we
were
pushed
to
the
side
and
I'm
a
taxpayer
just
like
ed
is
it's
just
like
everybody
in
this
room
is
a
taxpayer
and
so,
like
I
told
dee
before
and
I'll
say
it
again
in
front
of
everybody
in
here
it
takes
a
woman
to
do
a
man's
job.
She
got
attention
which
I'm
thankful,
and
I
I
appreciate
that
and
I'm
sure
that
I
wasn't
the
only
one
that
had
issues
with
the
drainage
and
the
flood
and
everything
everyone's
aware
of
that.
Q
So
I
don't
have
anything
else
to
say
I
did
meet
the
chief
of
police.
I
don't
see
him
in
here.
He
must
have
left
and
I
introduced
myself
to
him.
That's
just
the
kind
of
person
I
am.
If
anyone
has
any
question,
if
you
want
to
ask
me
now,
is
your
time
to
ask
me:
I
got
45
44
seconds,
I'm
talking.
Yes,
mayor!
Okay,
thank
you.
Q
Q
A
A
H
B
Councilman,
remember
monty
has
voted.
It
just
needs
to
be
refreshed
on
the
screen.
A
Okay,
awesome
sounds
good.
Okay,
the
consented
agenda
passes,
there
are
no
nays
to
announce,
and
now
we
are
go
to
move
on
to
item
7i
and
council
member
cribble.
E
Thank
you
mayor.
I
had
moved
to
continue
this
item
from
a
february
meeting.
It's
an
ordinance
of
men
amending
the
bloomington
city
code,
chapter
2
and
chapter
29
regarding
collection
costs
and
a
couple
of
things
that
it
was
changing
was
any
fear.
Costs
incurred
by
the
city
with
respect
to
collection
agencies
should
be
charged
the
debtor
offender,
and
it
also
allows
fees
and
costs
incurred
by
the
city
with
respect
to
attorney
or
private
collection.
E
Agencies
retained
by
the
city
shall
be
charged
to
the
offender,
and
so
I
had
pulled
that
because
of
the
concern
it
might
have,
depending
on
the
person's
ability
to
to
pay
that
I
have
since
talked
with
our
city
attorney
jeff
jergens,
along
with
lori
bergner,
with
the
league
of
women.
E
Voters
who
made
a
public
comment
about
this,
and
I
do
believe
that
these
charges
are
charges
that
are
are
directly
related
to
the
charge,
the
city
for
collection
and
and
one
of
the
things
that
the
league
of
women
voters
is
concerned
about
or
that
sometimes
especially
in
the
criminal
realm.
People
are
charged
fees
that
have
no
relation
to
their
arrest
and
they're
used
to
charge.
Other
parts
of
the
court
system-
I
say
that
generally,
I'm
not
sure,
with
regard
to
mclean
county.
E
In
addition,
the
any
attorney
fees
again
will
be
related
to
a
particular
case,
also
any
of
the
city
attorneys
that
are
working
on
such
a
case
working
on
getting
a
judgment
against
someone
who
owes
something
to
the
city.
They
typically
don't
charge
attorney
fees
because
they're
already
being
paid
by
the
city
and
then
one
of
the
concerns.
I
note
that
alderman
matthew
mentioned
hey:
could
there
be
a
way
that
we
could
reduce
the
amount
someone
pays
based
on
their
income?
E
And
that's
really
going
to
be
something?
That's
always
going
to
be.
Put
will
always
be
a
part
of
this,
because
you
know
I
used
to
be
a
collection
attorney
in
the
former
life
for
banks
and
landlords,
and
you
get
a
judgment
that
doesn't
automatically
mean
you
get
paid
right.
You
got
to
collect
that
judgment
and
that
sometimes
that
can
be
time
consuming.
E
So,
ultimately,
one
of
the
considerations
that
are
made
when
you
try
to
resolve
something
with
a
debtor.
Is
you
know,
what's
your
ability
to
pay
right,
and
so
that's
always
going
to
be
something
that's
going
to
be
taken
into
consideration
and
if
they're
say
a
guard
garnishment
against
someone's
wages,
state
law
allows
them.
You
can
only
take
so
much
there's
a
minimum
that's
allowed
for
for
a
person's
take-home
pay.
So
with
all
that
being
said,
you
know
I'm
supportive
of
this
motion.
E
I
would
just
add:
I've
talked
to
our
city
manager
and
he
is
looking
into
the
400
towing
charge
that
is
charged
when
there
is
a
tow
related
to
a
police
item
and
helping
to
determine
if
that's
based
on
the
actual
cost
of
the
tow.
But
in
any
event,
I'm
going
to
move
to
pass
item.
Seven
j.
A
Okay,
so
motion
by
council
member
krabi
is
second
by
council
member
bowling.
Okay,
go
ahead
and
vote.
R
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
and
the
community,
the
finance
director,
and
I
do
not
have
any
additional
comments.
This
truly
is
a
culmination
of
the
fy
23
work
that
we've
put
together.
We've
communicated
this
several
times
in
public
meetings
using
the
media
itself
or
social
media
platform
also
posted
on
the
website.
This
is
a
statutory
requirement
of
note
after
this
meeting.
Our
next
council
meeting
is
on
april
11th,
and
that's
when
this
will
come
before
council
for
the
final
approval
and
adoption.
Thank
you
mayor.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you,
and
at
this
point,
do
we
have
anybody
sign
up
for
public
testimony?
We
do
not.
Okay,
we
do
not
well.
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
comments
from
council
members,
councilman
emig,
you,
you
have
your
light
up.
No,
okay,
no
comments.
Okay,
oh.
I
I
Yeah,
I
don't
know
if
this
is
the
appropriate
time.
I
just
want
to
put
this
into
the
record.
I
will
support
the
budget
as
presented,
but
when
it
comes
before
council,
but
with
the
asphalt
and
concrete
account
or
line
item,
we
have
a
street
plan.
I
believe,
and
in
my
personal
opinion
we
should
be
funding
the
plan,
not
the
other
way
around,
where
we
have
a
plan,
and
we
only
put
in
whatever
is
brought
forward
by
the
sales
tax
and
the
gas
tax.
I
I
just
want
that
in
the
record
related
to
the
budget
and
then
also
sorry
jeff,
but
with
the
grove,
I've
talked
to
or
asked
questions
of,
mr
cothy
and
and
the
city
manager,
I'm
not
in
favor
of
the
money
allocated
for
the
grove
and
because
I
don't
believe
it's
required
by
the
city
in
the
annexation
agreement
for
the
oversizing
and
the
expansion
of
the
road
and
unless
there's
an
immediate
need
because
of
the
developers
coming
in
there
to
put
in
all
sorts
of
houses,
I
would
rather,
that
funding
be
put
in
for
maintenance
and
repair
of
existing
sewers.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Seeing
no
other
comments,
then
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and,
oh,
oh
sorry,
I
didn't
see
you
like.
S
I
did
have
a
comment:
okay.
I
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
in
2016
we
ran
the
city
on
186
million,
and
this
year's
proposed
budget
is
269
million
on
a
flat
population
and
I
think,
as
we
look
to
the
future,
one
thing
that
might
be
helpful
is
if
we
are
to
look
at
how
much
money
do
we
want
to
spend
before
we
queue
up
projects
that
add
up
to
the
amount
of
money
we
end
up
budgeting
then
at
that
time.
S
E
Sir,
to
respond
to
alderwoman
bowen
yeah,
I
live
out
the
grove,
so
I'm
biased,
but
yeah
I
mean
honestly,
I'm
sure
some
people
out
there
don't
want
further
development
right
because
they
have
a
nice
backyard,
but
I
do
think
there
are.
E
There
is
interest,
that's
being
shown
to
build
in
those
additional
areas,
and
I
think
it's
just
something
we
have
to
decide
as
a
council
with
regard
to
policy,
are
we
going
to
allow
that
kind
of
development
and
growth
continue
on
that
side
of
town
versus
you
know
trying
to
get
more
infill?
I-
and
I
understand
that
also
I
just
wanted,
as
general
say
about
the
budget.
E
I'm
just
really
excited
you
know
about
what
we're
doing
with
the
library
with
o'neill
pool
projects
have
been
a
long
time
in
the
making
all
of
the
other
capital
projects.
You
know
really
excited
about.
E
You
know
I
I
just
remember,
having
been
called
to
a
meeting
at
eastgate
subdivision
and
people
saying
hey,
what
can
I
do
to
help?
You
know
push
this
thing
along
and
I
said:
well,
you
go
to
a
meeting
and
talk
and
they
talked
and
we
ultimately
compressed
things
and
and
getting
things
done
a
little
bit
earlier,
which
is
shown
in
this
budget,
but
I
think
also
you
know
it
seems
like
we're
starting
work
on
fox
creek,
road
and
hamilton
things
that
have
been
delayed.
E
You
know
quite
a
long
time
so
seems
like
we're
really
starting
to
make
progress
in
fy
2023.
So
thank
you.
G
Thanks
mayor
yeah-
and
I
I
just
wanted
to
tag
on
to
what
jeff
had
said
too,
I
have
been
vocally
critical
of
the
grove
for
many
years.
G
I
did
have
a
very
good
conversation
with
an
engineer
who
explained
to
me
why
the
grove
had
to
be
built
where
it
was
and
why
it
had
to
be
the
first
one,
which
is
basically
that
it's
right
next
to
kickapoo
creek
and
it's
the
lowest
point
in
the
entire
surrounding
area
around
bloomington.
And
so,
if
you
were
going
to
build
a
pump
station
and
you
were
going
to
have
any
subdivisions,
you
had
to
start
there
and
infill
backwards
towards
bloomington,
and
that
was
something
that
I
did
not
understand
previously.
G
I
think
there's
still
conversations
in
the
future
for
council
to
decide
if
they
want
to
backfill
and
how
much
backfilling
and
how
that
all
that
area
out
there
gets
created.
I
think
sprawl
is
a
very
dangerous
thing
and
it's
very
costly
for
this
for
the
the
city-
and
I
hope
the
good
conversation
can
be
had
concerning
how
future
development
for
the
city-
because
you
know
talking
with
the
edc
and
listening
to
them
and
seeing
the
jobs
report
numbers
come
through.
G
It's
obvious
that
we
are
direly
short
of
housing,
affordable
housing,
any
kind
of
housing,
rental
and
everything,
and
so
you
know
that
that
all
has
to
be
weighed
at
the
same
times
of
putting
everything
together.
I
also
wanted
to
say
mention
that
you
know
I'm
I'm
very
happy
again,
like
jeff
said,
with
the
the
progress
we're
making
towards
putting
infrastructure
dollars
in
our
older
neighborhoods,
our
older
neighborhoods
were
neglected
for
20
years.
G
I
feel,
as
we
built
out
the
east
side
in
a
rapid
fashion,
trying
to
keep
up
with
our
largest
largest
employers
and
their
needs
for
housing,
and
now
we're
finally
starting
to
put
some
attention.
We've
saved
and
scrimped
and
saved
for
many
years
to
make
some
of
these
projects
happen,
we're
finally
spending
the
money
to
improve
the
sewers.
G
You
know
we're
spending
money
to
improve
and
and
and
talk
about
water
and
water
mains,
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
have
safe
drinking
water
and
once
all
that
gets
done,
we're
building
the
roads
back
on
top
of
it.
So
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work
that
has
gone
into
making
sure
that
we
can
bring
our
older
neighborhoods
our
core
part
of
the
community
back
up
to
standards
thanks.
Okay,.
A
A
Awesome
and
we're
going
to
move
straight
into
the
regular
agenda.
Next
item
is
a
presentation
and
discussion
of
the
public
safety
and
community
relations
board
annual
report,
as
requested
by
the
administration
department.
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
city
manager
gleason
for
some
introductory
comments.
R
R
T
T
Some
highlights
include
a
review
of
monthly
and
quarterly
meeting
dates.
Presentations
too,
and
feedback
from
the
community,
a
report
on
complaints,
reviewed
and
action
items
so,
first
for
a
review
of
monthly
and
quarterly
meeting
dates.
The
pscrb
established
monthly
meetings
for
the
first
thursday
of
each
month
and
quarterly
meetings
were
scheduled
for
the
first
thursday
of
each
quarter.
T
The
bloomington
police
department
reported
that
for
2021
there
were
32
total
complaints
received.
This
is
compared
with
22
complaints
in
2020
and
11.
Complaints
in
2019
topics
at
our
meetings
included
an
introduction
of
new
board
members,
training
and
recruitment
updates
from
bpd
officers,
taser
and
use
of
force
reports
from
bpd.
A
review
of
our
board
rules.
Discussion
about
the
role
of
the
pscrb,
a
weapons
awareness
demonstration
from
bpd,
in
which
assistant
chief
wansley,
showed
fake
and
toy
guns
that
had
been
confiscated
and
how
they
compared
to
real
weapons.
T
A
review
of
the
complaint
review
process,
a
discussion
about
the
traffic
stop
data
from
the
illinois
department
of
transportation
and
racial
disparities
and
traffic
stops
a
discussion
about
the
flock
system.
Automated
license
plate
readers,
a
presentation
from
school
resource
officers
about
their
roles
in
our
schools
here
and
feedback,
and
questions
from
the
community
were
received
by
the
board
and
actions
taken
from
those
suggestions.
T
Next,
a
report
on
complaints
reviewed
the
pscrb
received
one
request
for
review
that
was
in
july
2021
through
the
city
legal
department.
In
this
case
number
2021
r01
the
complainant
wanted
the
name
of
the
individual
or
individuals
who
had
made
a
complaint
that
resulted
in
a
car
being
towed.
The
police
department
is
not
privy
to
that
information
and
for
the
sake
of
confidentiality,
they
would
not
be
able
to
release
it
even
if
they
were
so.
The
pscrb
is
charged
with
reviewing
whether
or
not
police
personnel
followed
procedure.
T
T
Next
up
are
our
action
items
number
one,
the
pscrb
and
not
in
our
town
survey
update
as
discussed
last
year
in
our
annual
report,
the
pscrb
and
not
in
our
town
bloomington-normal
collaborated
to
release
an
online
public
survey
in
march
2021
on
citizens,
attitudes
towards
the
bloomington
police
department.
After
reviewing
the
data,
it
was
determined.
The
responses
on
the
survey
were
unreliable
and
lacked
validity
and
for
this
reason
would
not
be
used
to
make
any
assessments.
T
T
T
Three,
a
bi-annual
review
of
complaints
filed
by
pscrb
as
part
of
our
ongoing
community
outreach
and
educational
efforts
on
the
board.
Bloomington
police
department
will
provide
for
the
pscrb
a
compilation
of
all
complaints
filed
to
date
twice
a
year,
excluding
any
complaints
that
are
awaiting
adjudication
or
any
complaints
that
could
still
be
appealed
to
the
pscrb.
For
a
review
brochure
updates,
the
pscrb
was
a
brochure
was
updated.
I
believe,
for
the
first
time
to
correct
the
day
and
time
of
meetings
and
to
add
an
informational
line
for
those
requesting
review.
T
Five
youth
board
members
update
recruitment
efforts
do
continue
for
applications
from
potential
youth
board
members,
as
these
appointments
have
not
yet
been
filled.
So
the
board
would
also
like
to
request
that
if
anyone,
including
those
of
you
on
city
council,
knows
of
someone
who
might
be
interested
to,
please
encourage
them
to
apply
and
reach
out
to
the
chair
of
the

T
Six
idot
data
and
racial
disparities
in
traffic
stops
data
compiled
by
the
illinois
department
of
transportation.
In
2020
concluded
that
bloomington
police
department
stopped
black
drivers
seven
times
more
compared
to
white
drivers.
Discussions
surrounding
the
issue
of
racial
disparities
and
traffic
stops
on
the
board
included
what
the
data
does
and
does
not
include.
So,
for
example,
what
time
of
day
are
the
stops
happening
and
the
frequency
of
pretextual
stops
and
discussions
about
actions
to
reduce
disparities,
including
the
selective
traffic
enforcement
program
or
step
plan?

T
Seven
flock
system
automated
license
plate
readers
in
february
2022.
A
special
meeting
was
called
for
the
pscrb
to
hear
from
the
public
and
discuss
bpd's
acquisition
of
10
automated
license
plate.
Readers
chief
simmington
was
present
to
give
a
presentation
and
answer
questions
and
the
board
had
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions
of
bpd.
T
As
a
result,
the
pscrb
sent
a
motion
to
city
council
that
was
approved
by
all
of
our
members
present
that
the
police
department's
policy
should
be
updated
to
include
how
information
will
be
shared
externally
for
auditing
for
better
public
accountability,
and
transparency
noted
that
there
were
concerns
from
the
community
suggested
more
discussions
and
open
forums.
If
and
when
this
contract
is
up
for
extension
or
renewal
and
noted
that
the
pscrb
approved
of
the
cameras
as
a
crime
solving
tool
not
for
crime
reduction.
A
Thank
you,
dr
farmer.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
remain
at
the
podium
just
in
case
people
have
questions
for
you.
Do
we
have
any
questions
from
council
members?
Oh
okay,
councilmember
urban.
J
T
J
Okay,
thank
you
for
making
that
clear.
With
that
information
in
hand
now
I'd
like
to
just
kind
of
look
back
at
you
and
it
may
or
may
not
be
under
my
purview,
but
I
would
like
to
see
some
conversation
with
you
and
the
pscr
board
a
little
bit
more
openly
about
expanding
the
responsibilities
of
the
pscrb.
J
Initially
when
it
was
created.
I
believe
the
original
council
was
kind
of
doing
it
at
a
you
know:
let's,
let's
create
this
and
see
where
it
goes
so
now
that
we
can
see
where
it's
going.
I
think
that
it
may
be
time
for
us
as
a
council
to
look
at
and
consider
some
options
of
increasing
the
responsibility
of
the
pscrb
in
a
better
service
to
the
community,
as
well
as
a
better
service
to
the
bpd.
J
So
I
would
encourage
you
to
work
with
our
city
manager
and
the
appropriate
people
to
start
having
that
discussion,
and
perhaps
maybe
in
three
months.
If
city
manager
would
allow
for
you
to
come
back
and
give
us
as
a
council
some
ideas
of
how
you
can
increase
the
service
and
bridge
the
gaps
between
the
police
department
and
the
community.
T
Yes,
thank
you,
and
I
appreciate
that
because
this
was
something
we
discussed
at
our
meeting
last
month
in
march
that
role
at
the
pscrb
that
was
mentioned
here,
which
is
that
you
know
we
now
years
after
the
inception
of
the
board,
do
a
lot
more
than
just
review
complaints.
I
mean
we've
had
public
discussions
about
the
racial
disparities
and
traffic
stops
issue.
We
had
public
discussions
about
the
flock
system,
automated
license
plate
readers,
so
our
role
has
kind
of
expanded,
but
in
an
official
capacity
that
would
be
nice.
T
J
Get
it
let's
move
it
from
the
direction
you're
going
to
an
official
capacity,
and
that
requires
a
conversation
amongst
the
council
and
in
order
to
do
that,
we'll
need
you
to
open
that
communication
up
and
you
you
know
with
your
chief
diversity
officer
and
everyone
at
your
capability.
Let's
get
those
lines
of
communication
open
and
let's
look
at
bettering
and
furthering
our
community.
I
would
encourage
you
to
reach
out
to
many
of
the
organizations
that
are
on
are
available
to
you.
J
There's
naacp
project
oz,
I'm
sure
the
other
council
members
could
give
you
a
very
long
list
of
people
that
you
should
be
collaborating
with
to
to
begin
expanding
that
and
also
you'd
mention
needing
people
some
youth
for
the.
I
would
again
encourage
you
to
talk
to
get
in
touch
with
naacp
and
see
if
they
don't
have
people
that
would
come
alongside
with
you.
We
have
so
so
keep
keep
moving
in
that
direction
and-
and
let's
let's
see
you
back-
maybe
in
a
couple
of
months
and
get
some
further
movement-
okay,.
U
Councilmember
emic.
Yes,
thank
you
for
your
presentation,
dr
farmer,
and
I
just
want
to
applaud
that
that
I
do
see
a
lot
a
lot
of
expansion
here
in
terms
of
the
work
that
the
pscrb
is
doing,
and
I'm
also
interested
as
council
member
urban
requested
to
see
what
more
can
be
done
in
a
more
official
capacity
if
possible.
My
question
for
you
is
related
to
the
the
survey
and
the
survey
results
and
how
they're
they're
not
like
validity
and
reliability
are
challenging
metrics
are.
U
Is
there
any
conversation
of
having
another
survey
that
would
meet
that
standard,
etc?.
T
We
did
have
that
conversation.
The
problem
is,
you
know,
we're
volunteer
board
with
limited
resources,
and
so
we
can
only
do
the
type
of
modality
that
we
did,
which
is
an
online
survey.
We
don't
have
the
means
to
do
like
a
mail-in
survey
or
in-person
surveys.
So
that's
the
first
issue
with
an
online
survey.
T
T
T
So
we
had
that
discussion,
but
because
of
the
prominent
issues
with
validity
and
the
responses,
for
example,
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
what
I'm
talking
about,
it
was
discovered
that
one
person
had
taken
the
survey
90
times
they
had
just
left
the
same
comment
again
and
again
now
there
were
measures
in
place
to
prevent
that.
T
So
what
you
do
with
an
anonymous
survey
is
you
can
only
take
it
once
per
ip
address
right,
but
there
are
ways
around
that
with
like
a
vpn
which
is
pretty
easy
to
download
and
use
on
your
phone
or
your
computer.
So
someone
with
a
vpn
could
then
go
in
and
take
it
90
times
100
times,
and
once
we
discovered
that
it
was
an
issue
of
well
now
we
can't
guarantee
that
any
of
these
responses
are
valid,
because
the
vast
majority
of
people
did
not
leave
comments
on
the
survey
so
yeah.
T
To
answer
your
question
more
directly,
we
did
have
the
discussion.
One
thing
that
came
up
was
the
possibility
of
having
questions
added
to
public
surveys
or
community
surveys
that
are
already
happening
so,
for
example,
mike
matika
from
not
in
our
town
who
we
collaborated
with
mentioned
that
illinois
wesleyan
sometimes
does
a
community
survey
and
that
when
they
do
that
again,
if
they
do
that
again,
we
could
add
some
questions
to
that
survey
because
it's
already
established.
T
C
E
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
for
that
presentation.
So
a
couple
of
things
you
know.
I
know
there
were
some
problems
with
that
survey,
but
I
think
it
does
show
there's
a
pretty
overwhelming
support
for
the
police
and
the
community
right.
T
Yes,
most
of
the
comments
did
seem
to
come
from
individuals
and
they
were
generally
positive.
T
We
did
reach
out
to
the
high
schools,
but
I
think
we
did
discuss
actually
going
in
person
now
that
that
might
be
more
feasible
now.
That
covet
is
less
of
a
concern.
So
thank
you
for
that.
We
have
reached
out
to
them
to
give
them
information
to
pass
out,
but
I
don't
know
to
what
extent
students
have
seen
that.
E
I
do
think
the
pscrb
has
been
a
great
asset
to
the
community
in
a
number
of
ways.
E
E
You
know
changed
and-
and
also
I
I
thought
that
his
his
presentation
on
the
flock
cameras
was
good.
There
was
a
lot
of
you
know,
questions
from
the
members
of
the
pscrb,
and
I
think
you
know
that
helped
get
us
to
a
better
place
so
and
then
sorry,
one
other
thing.
I
think
people
get
confused
about
what
the
pscrb
does
and
so
the
pserb
there
are
complaints
made
to
the
police
department
and,
if,
whatever
happens,
let's
say,
the
the
department
finds
that
there
is
nothing
wrong
right.
E
They
finish
their
investigation
and
if
someone
wants
to
challenge
that
they
go
to
the
pscrb
now
the
pscrb's
role
is
not
to
determine
whether
say
a
particular
officer
did
something
wrong
like
say:
use
excessive
force
or
something
like
that.
It's
only
to
make
sure
that
the
investigative
procedure
of
the
police
department
was
followed.
Is
that
accurate.
G
Thanks
mayor
so
I'll
be
honest
at
first,
I
thought
you
were
going
to
ask
us
all
to
sign
up
for
the
youth
position,
and
I
was
really
appreciative
that
you
thought
was
that
young.
So
thank
you
for
that.
No,
I
was
actually
going
to
add
the
clarification
that
jeff
did.
So
I
appreciate
that
when,
but
going
back
to
the
idea
of
the
surveys,
you
know
you
said
that
a
print
survey
wasn't
available
to
you.
G
I
was
wondering
if
there
was
a
way
to
maybe
insert
the
survey
into
the
water
bill
right
that
would
be
we'd
ensure
that
it
got
distributed
to
the
majority
of
households.
G
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
get
a
physical
or
print
bill
anymore,
but
if
it
went
out
with
the
email
bill,
if
that
was
something
we
could
do,
that
could
be
a
way
to
at
least
increase
awareness
and
and
try
to
isolate
some
of
the
survey
results
to
maybe
get
you
some
better
data
to
operate
from
right.
That'd
be
one
thing
because
we're
we're
printing
them
anyway
for
the
most
part.
So
why
not
add
that
to
it?
G
And-
and
that
was
really
my
only
comments-
I
just
I
just
really
appreciate
what
you
and
all
the
members
of
the
board
do.
So.
Thank
you
all
for
your
service.
T
And
thank
you
for
that
suggestion.
If
it's
possible,
I
think
that
would
be
fantastic.
We
probably
know
at
least
the
number
of
people
who
get
a
paper
water
bill.
So
as
far
as
sampling
goes,
it
could
be
much
more
scientific.
In
that
respect,.
G
Yeah-
and
I
did
think
I
had
one
more
thought
with
those
youth
roles
it
might
be
worth
reaching
out
to
western
avenue
community
center
or
the
boys
and
girls
club
they
have
both
of
them
have
extend
extensive
team
programs
and
there
might
be
you
know,
participants
in
there
that
that
would
be
interested
there
too.
V
A
Okay,
thank
you
see
no
other
questions.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
again
for
your.
Not
only
your
presentation,
but
also
for
being
a
member
of
the
board,
I
know
being
a
volunteer
is
not
easy.
It's
it's
it's
a
lot
of
time
and
we
definitely
appreciate
all
of
you.
I
know
a
couple
of
your
board
members
are
here
present
if
you
want
to
wave
your
head,
so
we
can
see
you
okay.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much.
A
A
The
next

on
the
agenda
is

524
829.
R
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
and
community
exciting
night
tonight.
This
could
have
been
a
simple
agenda
item
just
to
approve
the
item
that
the
mayor
just
did
comment
to,
but
we're
not
going
to
miss
an
opportunity
to
celebrate.
What's
before
council
tonight,
park's
pcrc,
director
eric
veal,
has
a
presentation.
It's
very
brief.
R
It's
something
that
the
community
has
seen,
but
again
we're
not
going
to
miss
the
opportunity
to
share
this
with
the
community
again,
the
one
thing
I
ask
in
addition
to
the
presentation
eric,
I
would
like
you
to
recognize
the
park
staff
that
are
present
tonight
because
they're
here
in
full
force.
So
at
some
point
thank
you.
W
Great,
I
will
do
that.
Thank
you,
council.
Thank
you,
mayor
city
manager,
good
evening,
and
I
am
glad
to
be
here
to
present
on
the
o'neill
pool
and
park
project.
This
is
something
we've
been
working
on
for
four
years
and
on
behalf
of
my
staff.
Right
now,
we'll
recognize
we
have
mo's.
W
W
When
I
say
that
this
is
a
park
project,
the
things
that
are
hard
to
see
in
that
initial
rendering,
because
the
pool
is
a
prominent
focus,
is
actually
on
the
upper
left
side.
Hidden
in
the
trees
there
there's
going
to
be
a
splash
pad.
The
parking
lot
is
moved
to
the
east
and
is
expanded,
includes
another
handicapped
spot
and
more
parking
and
beyond.
That
is
the
skate
park
so
we'll
get
to
some
of
those
in
the
future
slides.
W
C
W
So,
let's
go
through
this
aerial
view
of
the
majority
of
what
this
project
can
become
on.
The
lower
left
is
the
pump
house,
which
is
the
lifeblood
of
the
operations
of
a
facility
such
as
this.
The
two
buildings
in
the
middle
and
on
the
right
are
the
bath
houses,
and
each
of
them
has
an
all
gender
changing
room
on
the
right
side
of
the
right
bath
house.
There
will
be
a
concessions
area
and
that
concessions
area
is
intended
to
serve
the
pool
and
the
park
itself.
W
That
way,
we
can
serve
more
people
with
this
concessions.
We
have
only
had
vending
machines
in
the
past,
so
this
is
a
big
step
up
for
us
on
the
left
side
of
the
middle
building.
There
is
a
community
room,
and
in
that
community
room
we
will
host
birthday
parties
and
other
events
during
the
pool
hours.
W
The
prominent
focus
right
there
in
the
middle
is
a
lazy
river.
Why
is
that
important?
Because
that-
and
the
slide
were
what
the
community
said
they
wanted
to
us.
A
lazy
river
is
not
available
in
a
public
pool,
but
there
are
private
ones
in
bloomington,
so
we
want
to
be
the
first
one
to
have
the
lazy
river
and
then,
with
the
slide
tower,
which
is
behind
it.
You'll
see
one
slide
that
one
side
is
what
comes
with
the
project
that
you
would
approve
tonight,
but
it
is
able
to
accommodate
two
more
slides
in
the
future.
W
As
you
see
on
the
middle
right,
that
is
a
zero
depth
entry
area,
the
thing
that
you
don't
see
on
this
rendering
that
is
coming
with
the
project
as
well,
though-
and
I'm
going
to
read
this-
it
is
a
water
tot
play
feature
with
slide
water
curtain,
dumping
buckets
and
bubblers,
which
is
awesome
for
kids.
That
will
be
an
attraction
for
them
and
an
enjoyment,
there's
a
shade
structure
and
there
is
a
pool
in
the
the
back
there.
That
is
our
lap
pool,
which
we'll
talk
about
in
another
slide.
W
W
Illinois
wesleyan
university,
their
math
class,
has
put
together
data
and
analytics
that
we're
going
to
use
now
and
in
the
future
that
we
will
measure
the
success
of
this
project
even
in
years
to
come.
The
people
in
the
photo
are
from
the
boys
and
girls
club,
the
ymca
and
some
residents
from
right
around
the
area.
W
One
thing
of
note
and
mr
gleason
may
want
to
talk
about
afterwards.
At
this
event,
we
announced
that
there
was
going
to
be
an
endowment
of
20
000.
That
would
help
with
scholarships
for
people
that
need
help
getting
a
pool
pass
in
the
future.
Since
then
that
has
grown
to
32
275
dollars
and
we
hope
it
continues
to
grow.
W
W
The
beauty
of
having
a
pool
separate
from
the
main
pool
is
that
we
can
now
host
swim,
meets
and
activities
or
lessons
so
that
we
don't
have
to
close.
The
pool.
O'neill
was
one
pool
before
and
we
had
to
close
the
pool
to
accommodate
events.
Now
we
wouldn't,
we
can
have
swimming
events
in
this
pool
and
still
keep
the
main
pool
open
for
the
public
next
slide.
Please
this
slide.
I
love
the
most.
This
represents
what
we
do
in
parks,
recreation
and
cultural
arts.
W
I
don't
mean
the
words
on
the
left,
although
they're
very
important
and
we'll
talk
about
them
too.
This
is
a
young
gal
she's,
a
youth
she's,
a
member
of
a
family
she's,
a
member
of
our
community,
and
she
is
hopefully
a
citizen
or
a
friend
of
one
of
our
citizens.
And
so
what
does
that
mean?
And
what
does
it
represent?
W
W
Next
slide,
please
and
finally,
community
investment.
This
is
reinvestment
in
our
community
and
in
addition
to
that,
this
is
in
a
regional
park
that
needed
a
rejuvenation.
So
once
again,
this
is
not
a
park
and
pool
project,
even
though
I
mean
this
is
a
park
and
pool
project
and
we're
not
just
focusing
on
the
pool,
even
though
that's
the
prominent
feature.
So
if
you
see
there
in
the
middle,
that
is
a
representation
of
a
young
gal
on
a
splash
pad,
the
upper
right
is
a
representation
of
a
skater.
W
The
boys
there
that
are
either
playing
baseball
or
t-ball,
represent
what
we
have
already
in
the
park
and
will
help
get
better.
We
are
partnering
and
already
do
partner
with
the
bngsa
and
the
bnba,
which
are
local
clubs,
that
help
work
the
softball
and
baseball
fields
that
we
already
have,
and
now,
of
course,
down
there
in
the
right.
We
got
concessions
again
because
that's
something
new
that
we
wouldn't
have
before.
W
So,
once
again,
mentioning
that
this
is
a
regional
park
rejuvenation
with
the
culmination
of
the
roads
of
route
150
and
route
9
coming
together
at
the
intersection
almost
of
this
park,
it
will
allow
people
to
come
in
from
the
outside
in
addition
to
our
citizens
and
residents.
So
what
do
I
think
this
will
do
for
our
community?
W
A
Thank
you
very
much
eric
for
the
wonderful
presentation,
wonderful
project.
Do
we
have
questions
from
council
members?
Okay,
let's
start
with
councilmember
becker.
H
H
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
crumpler
and
then
bowling
and
then
ward.
F
Thank
you
mayor
eric,
thank
you
so
much
for
this
presentation.
I
was
at
that
fall
meeting
at
o'neill
park
and
I
saw
the
excitement
in
the
community.
You
know,
and
I
recognized
at
that
time.
You
know
that
this
was
something
to
benefit
the
entire
city
of
bloomington.
As
you
pointed
out,
and
I
plan
to
support
the
o'neill
pool
and
I've
been
excited
about
it
from
the
beginning.
I
did
have
a
couple
of
questions.
I
wondered
in
terms
of
cost.
F
Was
there
any
attempt
to
go
back
to
the
to
the
to
the
company
that
put
in
the
bid
that
we're
looking
at
tonight
to
ask
them
if
they
could
do
it?
For
you
know,
for
what
was
closer
to
the
original
amount
budgeted
for
the
pool?
I
know
we
talked
about
that
in
some
of
the
three-on-one
discussions
we
had.
R
Then
also,
if
approved,
we
plan
on
very
strict
oversight
of
the
project
included
in
the
total
amount,
is,
I
believe,
about
600
000
in
contingency
that
we
hope
not
to
use.
But
you
know
we.
We
know
that
that
is
in
fact
a
contingency.
R
F
And
and
a
related
question,
and
that
this
could
be
for
you,
tim
or
eric,
you
know
in
we
also
talked
about
using
some
of
the
city's
reserves
to
you
know
to
help
defer
the
cost
of
taxpayer.
F
R
It's
also
an
agenda
item
for
this
evening,
yet
with
the
additional
nearly
two
million
dollars
that
it
came
in
over
what
the
original
estimate
was
going
to
be.
We
have
we
are
proposing
that
we
pull
nearly
eight
million
dollars
from
reserves
to
lower
the
bond
amount.
That's
coming
before
council
very.
F
Good,
thank
you
and
then,
if
you'll
indulge
me
just
one
more
question-
and
I
believe
I
know
the
answer
to
this-
but
just
to
get
into
the
record
as
councilmember
boland
says.
I
hope
that
the
city
is
actively
I'm
talking
with
businesses
about
contributing
to
the
o'neill
park,
to
secure
naming
rights
to
the
splash
pad,
for
example.
It
seems
to
me
any
business
in
this
community
should
feel
proud
to
invest
in
the
west
side
of
this
city,
and
I
hope
that
that's
something
that
we
can
if
we,
if
it's
not
out
there
now.
F
I
hope
we're
really
actively
doing
that
in
the
near
future,
and
thank
you
for
your
presentation
this
evening.
R
Into
that
comment,
alderman
crumpler-
it
was
a
perfect.
You
know
if
this
perfect
segue,
if
this
is
approved
tonight
that
definitely
will
occur,
felt
that
it
would
be
premature
to
ask
local
businesses
to
consider
that
without
it
being
approved
by
council.
But
that
definitely
will
happen.
A
Okay
and
I
had
council
member
bolin,
you
were
next
right:
okay,.
I
Yeah
I
have
to
turn
my
mic
off
because
otherwise
I
can't
hear
so.
I
noticed
on
the
the
the
the
amendment
to
the
budget.
Let's
see
use
of
unbalance
capital
improvement
fund
general
fund
park
construction.
What
is
the
300
000?
I
W
I'm
sorry,
the
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
for
the
ff
and
e
furnitures
fixtures
and
equipment.
It
was
in
this
year's
budget,
but
because
the
got
moved
to
next
year,
that
also
needs
to
be
moved
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
scott
is
that
right.
W
X
X
As
part
of
the
11.7
million
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
f
and
e,
so
we're
just
amending
the
budget
just
for
the
construction
costs.
The
ffe
is
getting
pushed
out
to
2023
and
we
we
we
added
that
to
the
2023
parks,
budget
and
lowered
another
expenditure
so
that
the
budget
stayed
the
same
for
now.
But
it
was
part
of
the.
I
Okay,
but
it
says
for
architectural
engineering
services
is
that
related
to
the
contract.
X
X
The
the
original
300
000
was
for
furniture,
it's
being
removed
from
that
account.
I'm
not
sure
about
this
description
right
here.
This
architectural
engineering
services,
because
we're
we're
taking
300
000
out
of
one
expense
account
and
lumping
it
into
the
project
for
the
total
project
cost
it's
more
of
like
a
journal
entry
tracking
mechanism,
because
originally
it
was
for
furniture.
I
X
It's
not
going
to
the
front
the
furnitures
and
equipment,
that's
what
we
took
it
out
of
I.
I
don't
have
the
split
on
the
on
the
project
cost,
so
the
300
grand
might
get
pushed
into
that
account.
I
I
don't
have
those
details
right
now,
because
I'm
sure
the
architectural
engineering
was
probably
at
least
organic
right.
X
I
I
I
To
what
you're
asking
the
architect's
contract,
if
the
cost
goes
up,
10
is
added
to
the
project
according
to
the
contract,
and
I'm
asking
if
this
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
has
to
do
with
the
22
million
increase
in
cost.
R
No,
it
does
not
and
actually
the
the
architectural
and
there
was
a
question
that
came
up
in
three
on
ones,
and
it
was
a
great
question:
where
is
this
project
scalable,
and
will
it
trigger
scalable
downward
to
reduce
some
of
the
cost
but
still
provide
the
exact
footprint?
R
Would
that
trigger
that
architectural
fee?
And
it
would
not
because
we
are
not
it
would
in
that
example,
because
we're
changing
what's
being
presented.
What
was
originally
presented
now
under
this
plan?
If
we
chose
to
remove
a
slide
or
two
lanes
of
the
pool,
that
might
not
be
a
good
description,
but
if
we
were
to
remove
an
amenity,
it
would
not
trigger
the
architectural
fee.
Okay,.
S
Sure,
thank
you.
I
mean
it
was
a
very
nice
presentation
too,
and
I
I
really
agree
and
support
that
the
west
side
of
bloomington
should
have
a
pool.
I
have
some
questions
following
review
of
prior
meetings
from
2018
2021.
S
W
W
We
have
some
issues
over
there
with
underground
water,
but
we
have
fixed
those
our
crew
back
here
in
the
back.
They
fixed
those
in
the
past
and
we
will
continue
fixing
them
until
we
we
can't
anymore.
So
the
benefit
of
this
park
and
pool
project
if
we
were
to
go
down
to
one
pool
is
that
this
is
bigger
and
better
than
the
previous
one
and
would
accommodate
our
citizens.
C
S
I'm
I
guess
I'm
asking
to
affirm
if
that's
kind
of
what
I'm
hearing
since
it's
at
that
50-year
mark
as
well.
O
S
The
other
thing
that
I
heard
in
one
of
the
discussions
that
I
hadn't
really
thought
about
in
the
recent
discussions
is
a
phase
two
for
the
o'neill
park.
Complex.
C
W
Sure
some
of
the
options
that
we
could
include
in
phase
two
would
be
pickleball
tennis
court.
We
could
think
we
could
include
a
dog
park
over.
On
the
other
side,
there
could
be
a
coin
operated,
softball
machine
where
you
could
practice
and
things
like
that.
Those
are
all
discussed
during
the
planning
process
and
can
be
incorporated
into
phase
two,
including
walking
trails.
As
this
project
has
developed.
You
know
things
have
come
forth
that
are
not
confirmed
at
this
time,
but
people
have
offered
in
the
community.
W
Businesses
are
looking
forward
to
maybe
this
happening,
and
then
maybe
they
will
contribute
in
the
future.
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
them
tonight,
but
here's
what
I
can
speak
to
since
this
project
started.
Grants
have
come
back.
There
was
almost
three
or
four
years
well
the
where
the
idnr
illinois
department
of
natural
resources
grants
went
away
and
they
are
now
back.
We
have
ozled
grants
which
are
open
space,
land
acquisition
and
development
grants
that
weren't
available
that
we
can
apply
for
for
phase
two.
S
So,
just
overall
impression,
in
return
kind
of
goes
to
my
comment
earlier
about
budget
in
general,
agreeing
to
an
amount
of
money
and
then
working
back
from
there
as
opposed
to
the
aggregation
of
amenities
to
get
to
a
cost.
That
now
is
approaching
50
above
what
was
talked
about
in
2018,
where
the
number
10
million
was
discussed,
and
then
you
know
on
to
11,
4
and
now
13
870
and
I
believe,
we've
already
spent
about
800
000
in
design
and
other
costs,
which
is
not
included
in
that.
S
So
this
is
a
significant
investment.
I
mean
that's
my
point
in
up
50
percent,
and
yet
we
haven't
yet
broken
ground.
There's
some
concern
there.
Given
that
every
week
you
go
to
a
store,
the
prices
are
increasing
like
crazy.
So
again,
my
concern
remains
the
cost
structure
we
had
with
the
prior
council
approved
an
amount,
and
you
know
here
we
are
requesting
more.
I
I
do
think
again.
The
pool
is
important,
but
at
what
cost?
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
montany.
I
think
at
this
point
we
have.
The
time
has
expired.
However,
if
we
have
more
folks
who
would
like
to
speak,
then
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
all
second,
okay,
ten.
I
A
G
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
I
think
councilmember
matthew.
What's
next.
G
Eric
you
mentioned
something
about
some
kids
dump
buckets
or
something.
What
was
that
again.
W
W
P
G
No,
I'm
just
I'm
just
messing
eric
up.
No,
I
I
just
really
wanted
to
say
that
you
know
I've
been
on
console
this
entire
time
as
we've
worked
through
this,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
follow-through
you
and
your
staff
have
done
an
amazing
job
on
this,
and
you
know
the
whole
world
has
gotten
more
expensive
on
us
as
we've
gone
through
this
process.
G
You
know
I'm
sure
that
you
would
turn
that
clock
back
if
possible
or
or
hurry
everything
forward
right.
We
got
delayed
by
a
global
pandemic
and
it
kind
of
slowed
us
down
for
a
while.
So
I
just
really
appreciate
you
guys
the
professional
follow
through
and
the
way
that
you've
communicated
through
this
whole
process.
Thank
you
for
that.
U
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
have
one
question
and
a
quick
comment
in
in
the
course
of
implementing
this.
If
the
the
cost
does
rise
above
the
contingency,
wouldn't
we
have
to
approve
a
change
order.
You
know
and
yeah
it
just
and
make
decisions
and
having
recently
shepherded
a
huge
construction
project
that
was
idnr
funded.
C
U
They
got
it
in
2013
and
finally
could
spend
it
in
2021
we
every
change
order
had
to
be
approved
and
there
were
things
we
decided
not
to
do
because
they
got
too
expensive
or
more
expensive
than
what
we
had
initially
signed
on
for.
U
Okay,
so
that
that
was
my
question
and
my
comment
is
I
I
maintain
that
that
we
do
have
the
money
and
I
agree,
it
is
a
question
of
priorities
and-
and
we
have
hearty
debate
about
what
to
prioritize
and
how
to
go
forward,
but
I
do.
I
believe
this
is
a
community
investment.
I
think
the
the
funds
that
we're
investing
in
this.
This
is
our
money
that
is
coming
back
to
our
community
and
that
that's
a
priority.
U
I
don't,
I
don't
see
it
as
something
that
diminishes
the
other
responsibilities
we
have,
but
it's
it
enhances
the
whole
community.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
C
V
Yes,
thank
you
for
this
presentation,
mr
veal.
I
really
appreciated
it.
I
also
especially
appreciate
your
emphasis
on
a
couple
of
things,
one,
the
the
point
that
you
made
about
how
long
it
has
been
since
we
have
had
a
pool
in
our
community
and
really,
I
think
that
that
underscores
the
the
lack
of
attention
to
the
core
of
the
community
for
so
long.
I
think
that
really
highlights
that.
V
I
I
kind
of
hate
that
word
amenity.
I
love
all
the
amenities
that
are
involved
in
this,
but
I
think
that
sometimes
the
word
amenity
downplays
just
what
impact
this
can
have
on
the
community,
and
I
think
that
that
we
need
to
take
into
account
legitimate
impact
such
as
jobs,
that
you
also
mentioned
that
this
will
generate
for
people
in
the
community
not
just
summer
jobs
for
for
kids
working
as
lifeguards,
although
that
is
significant
and
relevant,
particularly
in
this
neighborhood.
V
I
think
it
also
speaks
to
to
jobs
for
people
building
the
pool
and
maintaining
the
pool
in
the
park
in
the
community
and
those
are
dollars
and
cents
in
the
community
and
for
the
community,
and
I
don't
think
we
can
ignore
that.
Finally,
I
think
it's
also
essential
that
we
pay
attention
to
the
message
that
this
project
sends
to
our
community
about
how
much
we
value
diversity,
how
much
we
value
accessibility,
how
much
we
value
safety.
V
E
B
Can
we
also
sorry
just
clarify
that
we
are
moving
to
approve
as
presented
both
ordinances?
Yes,
okay,
thank
you
and
the
seconder.
I
I
Yes,
you
can
argue,
we
have
the
money
and
we're
spending
it
for
a
project
that
we've
wanted
and
for
a
long
time
and
the
previous
council
approved
by
majority
vote
that
this
was
to
go
forward.
I
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
comment
and
I'll
I'll
just
add
very
quickly,
and
I
know
some
of
it
has
been
said
already
but
again
I
I
want
to
reiterate
that
this
you
know
and
commend
the
park
staff,
because
they've
done
a
a
wonderful
job.
It's
you
know.
We
you
definitely
have.
A
You
are
a
tremendous
asset
to
the
community,
because
when
I
look
around
the
community
I
look
at
the
quality
of
parks
and
and
how
well
maintained
it
is
we
have
a
number
of
people
who
actually
do
come
from
other
areas
to
come
to
some
of
our
regional
parks.
So
that's
something
to
be
very
proud
of,
and
I
look
forward
to
the
work
that
you're
going
to
do
on
this
park.
It's
been
a
long
time
coming
for
the
west
side.
A
A
I
do
like
the
fact
that
this
is
you
know
eric
mentioned
it
is
community.
A
I
look
forward
to
people
having
an
opportunity
to
mingle
with
one
another
you
know
in
in
this
particular
area,
because
it's
going
to
be
attractive
and
we'll
have
people
from
all
areas
of
the
community
coming
together
to
swim,
to
to
have
a
good
time
and
to
skate
and,
and
who
knows
what
happens
after
you
know,
with
phase
two
or
three
and
then
the
other
thing
that
I
I
wanted
to
to
to
mention
that
eric
you've
also
mentioned
is
the
opportunity
for
us
to
engage
donors
in
the
community.
A
We
already
have
one
that
we
know
who
chose
to
remain
anonymous,
and
you
know
it
was
at
twenty
thousand
dollars.
Now
we
are
at
thirty
two
thousand
dollars
and
I'm
hoping
that
many
other
people
will
will
come
forward
and
it
doesn't
matter
what
the
amount
is,
but
just
to
come
forward
and
support
this
project
and
give
opportunities
to
to
folks
who
may
not
be
able
to
to
participate
otherwise
to
to
be
able
to
purchase
a
ticket
to
to
to
the
park.
So
I
think
this
is
great.
A
It's
a
great
way
to
to
bring
the
community
together
and
with
that
I
think
we
can
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
to
vote
before
everybody
falls
asleep.
A
Next
item
on
the
agenda
is
item
9c,
a
consideration,
an
action
on
an
ordinance
amending
a
the
budget
ordinance
for
the
fiscal
year
ending
april
30
2022
as
it
relates
to
library,
maintenance
and
operating
budget
in
the
amount
of
21
million
dollars.
266
838,
as
requested
by
the
bloomington
public
library
and
the
finance
department,
and
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
city
manager
gleason
for
some
comments.
R
Thank
you,
mayor
council
and
the
community.
We're
gonna
continue
this
positive
stories
tonight
on
projects
that
have
been
in
queue
for
several
years
and
this
one
actually
even
longer.
I'm
going
to
turn
the
floor
over
to
library,
director,
jeannie,
hamilton,
jeannie.
Y
Y
Y
Y
In
january
we
released
a
request
for
construction
bids
and
then
on
march
8th
those
bids
were
due
and
on
march
15th,
the
library
board
authorized
a
contract
with
the
lowest
bidder,
who
was
emily
dickerson,
which
is
contingent
on
the
city
council
bond
authorization
tonight
and
then,
hopefully,
in
april,
we
will
break
ground
and
start
phase
one
in
phase
one
we'll
renovate
the
west
half
of
the
building
and
add
two
thousand
or
twenty
thousand
square
feet
to
the
west
side
of
the
building
and
then
in
june,
of
2023,
we'll
move
on
to
phase
two
and
renovate
the
east
half
of
the
building
and
hopefully
we'll
be
completing
the
project
in
september
of
2023
next
slide.
Y
Our
project
cost
came
in
less
than
estimated
in
december
of
2021
and
we
have
raised
620
000
in
pledges
and
donations
for
this
project.
And
last
week
we
launched
the
public
phase
of
our
capital
campaign
and
this
agenda
item
before
you
right
now
is
a
budget
amendment,
because
our
library
board
approves
the
budget
in
october
before
the
the
year
starts.
So
the
2022
budget
was
actually
approved
in
october
of
2020,
and
we
didn't
know
the
project.
Y
R
Did
have
a
quick
one
mayor
I
just
wanted
to
share.
You
know
we
we've
had
quite
a
bit
of
conversation
about
this
and
the
board
president
julian
westerhout
is
in
the
back
row
and
has
just
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
both
he
and
jeannie
the
entire
board,
and
you
know
we're
not
going
to
miss
this
opportunity
to
tell
an
exciting
story
to
the
bloomington
community
again
about
something
that's
been
discussed
for
several
years.
So
I
just
want
to
say
job
well
done.
A
Thank
you,
council
members,
any
questions,
okay,
councilmember
matthew
and
then
councilmember,
crumpler
and
roland.
G
Very
happy
we
got
this
done.
I
think
I
went
to
the
first
meeting
to
talk
about
this
in
like
2008
or
something
like
that.
2009
far
before
I
was
ever
involved
with
city
council.
So
I'm
very
happy
that
we're
here
we're
getting
this
done.
Just
a
technical
question:
can
we
put
9c
and
9d
together,
like
we
did
last
time
since
they're,
both
dealing
with
the
library
or
do
they
need
individual
votes?
G
R
K
G
So,
okay,
then
I'm
I
move
that
we
approve
nine
cs
presented
thanks.
Second,.
A
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
by
council
member
matthew
and
a
second
by
council
member
ward.
Is
there
any
other
discussion.
I
F
F
F
A
A
R
Thank
you,
mayor
I'll,
combine
my
comments
for
both
item
90
and
9
e.
At
this
time,
these
will
be
discussed
by
finance
director
scott
rathman.
The
first
one,
like
the
mayor
said,
is
the
intergovernmental
agreement
that's
required,
and
then
we
go
on
to
the
bond
approval.
Scott.
X
Thank
you,
city
manager,
that's
correct!
I'm
going
to
incorporate
the
iga
the
intergovernmental
agreement,
and
this
presentation
is
actually
at
the
end
of
the
presentation
because
we're
discussing
the
bonds
first
and
then
you
know
how
we're
going
to
process
the
debt
service
on
those.
So
it
kind
of
is
more,
has
more
continuity.
If
we
do
it
in
that
order,
but
we
will
need
you
will
need
to
vote
on
them
separately,
so
so
the
fun
part.
X
Now,
since
the
projects
were
approved,
how
do
we
pay
for
those
has
been
discussed
via
bond
fundings,
the
library
at
14.2
million
and
the
the
pool
at
5.8
million
funding
the
rest
of
it
with
the
use
of
reserves
that
we
have
available
being
fortunate
over
the
last
couple
years
to
accumulate
those
so
tonight,
we'll
we'll
cover
some
of
the
details,
we're
doing
a
competitive
issuance
this
time.
X
So
we
won't
know
there's
going
to
be
a
competitive
auction,
that's
coming
in
the
next
month,
so
we
we
have
a
range,
an
estimate
from
our
financial
advisor,
but
just
to
kind
of
take
this
opportunity
and
do
a
little
bit
of
a
debt
update
related
to
the
city's
holdings
and
kind
of
give
some
perspective
on
that.
So
next
slide.
Please.
X
Okay,
so
what
is
a
bond?
Basically,
a
bond
is
just
a
packaged
loan.
You
know
for
us
for
a
municipality
underwriters
package
that,
in
a
form
where
investors
can
take,
you
know,
get
a
piece
of
the
of
the
of
the
note
from
the
municipality.
It
can
be
structured
in
various
different
ways,
terms,
etc.
X
General
obligation
is
a
kind
of
municipal
debt,
it's
normally
backed
by
the
issuer's
credit
worthiness
and
with
municipalities,
that
is,
the
property
tax
levy.
So
there's
really
kind
of
three
basic
methods
of
taking
a
bond
to
market
market
issuance
a
competitive
public
sale,
which
is
what
we're
looking
at
for
this
issue,
because
it's
kind
of
it's
larger,
it's
20
million
dollars
as
it's
written
on
this
exhibit
here
primarily
used
for
larger
transactions.
X
The
issuance
costs
are
a
little
higher,
but
that's
expected
to
be
offset
by
getting
a
better
rate,
we'll
be
doing
rating
agencies
presentations
just
to
confirm
our
current
or
try
to
get
a
better
one.
But
I've
been
told
that
you
know
we're
really
that
double
a
is
really
where
we're
at
right.
Now
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
in
a
moment,
a
competitive,
direct
placement.
This
is
what
we've
done
over
the
last
couple
years
related
to
refundings.
X
This
is
where
we
do
an
rfp
and
typically
you
know.
The
whole
issue
is
bid
on
by
in
the
past,
it's
been
mostly
by
banks,
so
lower
issuance
costs,
but
you're
dealing
with
a
smaller
pool
of
potential
investors
there
and
then
a
good
negotiated
is
dealing
with
an
underwriter.
Usually,
these
are
for
municipalities
that
are
in
a
unique
situation:
they're
they
have
poor
credit,
etc.
So
going
out
to
market
in
general
is
not
going
to
be
quite
as
effective
for
them.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
we're
proposing
doing
a
competitive
public
sale.
X
X
Their
responsibility
is
to
provide
us
the
most
cost,
effective
method
of
procuring
capital,
and
so
you
know,
they're
the
ones
that
really
recommended
this
competitive
method
of
going
to
market
for
us
next
slide.
Please.
X
So
how
will
investors
view
the
city,
the
rate
rate
agencies
you
can
see
in
this?
Exhibit
we
have
moody's,
standard
and
poor's
and
fitch
have
all
rated
the
the
city
what
we
refer
to
as
a
solid
double
a
rating.
So
what
does
that
mean?
That
means
we
have
access
to
capital.
We
get
the
attention
of
investors,
we're
a
solid
risk,
and
this
affects
the
interest
costs
that
were
allocated
so
this
graph
on
the
on
the
left.
X
It's
a
little
hard
to
read
so
I've
written
some
notes
here.
It
really
just
kind
of
defines
some
spreads
between
what
you
would
receive
as
a
municipality
aaa
versus
double
a
versus
a
and
triple
b.
So
essentially
it
kind
of
boils
down
to.
We
have
about
a
two
percent.
You
know
additional
markup
over
a
triple
a
a
rated
municipality,
but
if
we
were
a
it'd
be
point,
five
percent
and
triple
b
is
point
eight
percent.
So
you
know
that
can
be
significant
when
you're
dealing
with
these
larger
dollar
amounts.
X
So
we
are
doing
well
as
a
municipality.
Our
pension
liabilities
are
a
little
high.
You
know
considering
that
for
that
aaa,
but
we
can
dig
into
that
at
a
different
time,
but
that's
really
kind
of
what's
driving
the
differences
in
our
rating
right
now.
But
as
everyone
knows,
you
know
we
are
addressing
those
pension
liabilities.
X
You
know
currently
at
the
100
percent
target.
You
know,
as
for
the
2040
legislative
mandate,
that
you
know
all
municipalities
are
looking
at
now
so
next
slide.
Please.
X
So
with
a
competitive
auction,
which
is
it's
an
online
auction,
I
think
there's
various
there's
well,
there
are
various
platforms,
but
mesrow
commented
that
probably
you'd
be
using
a
website
called
muni
auction
for
this.
X
But
you
know
they:
they
are
the
professionals
they're
they're,
looking
at
the
structure
of
the
bond,
the
rates
that
are
in
existence
now
like
transactions
that
are
occurring,
so
you
know,
they've
been
able
to
provide
us
an
analysis
and
estimates
and
a
structure
for
what
they're
looking
at
for
the
bond.
X
So
our
ordinance,
that's
before
council
this
evening,
shows
a
not
to
exceed
rate
of
5.5.
Now
that's
a
significant
rate.
So
I
wanted
to
comment
on
that
and
the
way
the
the
the
bond
issuance
is
being
structured
is
really
at
on
a
on
a
premium
basis.
So
we're
looking
at
being
paid
over
100
percent
per
dollar
that
we
borrow
so
for
an
example.
We
might
borrow
19
million
dollars.
X
We
get
20
million,
we
only
pay
19
million
back,
but
we'll
pay
a
little
bit
higher
rate
than
the
current
market
existing
current
market
rates.
So
our
financial
advisor
has
told
us
that
this
will
provide
stability
and
going
to
market
and
really
the
effective
rate.
The
true
interest
cost
is
what
they
refer
to
it
is
is
really
at
that
three
percent,
so
it.
A
X
Gone
up
materially
since
fall
when
we
were
first
discussing
this,
which
was
more
like
around
the
two
percent
area,
but
everyone's
aware
that
interest
rates
have
gone
up
significantly
over
the
last
few
months,
related
to
some
of
the
fed
moves,
et
cetera.
So
using
that
package,
a
an
estimated
true
interest
cost
of
approximately
three
percent,
we'll
just
run
through
the
table.
Here.
The
library
expansion
wanted
to
highlight
the
fact.
X
You
know
that
they're
between
grants,
savings
and
donations,
contributing
raising
11.1
million,
so
financing
for
14.2,
with
the
pool
just
rounding
up
the
14
million
utilizing
savings
of
8.2
million
borrowing
5.8,
and
so
you
can
see
our
estimated
debt
service
is
990
000
for
the
library
about
410
000
for
the
pool
and
we
have
designated
you
know
sources
of
funds
for
that:
the
property
tax
for
the
library
being
theirs.
Of
course,
they
did
it
850
000
for
the
coming
year.
X
X
So
where
do
we
stand
from
a
peers
perspective
and
I've
got
a
table
here?
Also
for
a
data
point
that
moody's
uses
there's
a
lot
of
different
angles
and
perspectives.
You
can
you
can
use
to
to
look
at
a
municipality's
debt.
I
won't
roll
through
all
this,
but
the
direct
debt.
You
know
the
double
asterisks
direct
debt
is
a
total.
It's
total
debt
bonds
loans
leases
leases,
including
only
governmental
activities,
so
our
funds
are
kind
of
separated
between
governmental
and
business
activities.
Business
activity
funds
are
typically
our
enterprise
funds.
X
X
The
final
line
on
the
exhibit
shows
moody's
medium
for
illinois
cities
for
double-a
rated
is
one
percent,
so
currently
we're
slightly
under
that.
The
addition
of
the
proposed
20
million
geo
bond
will
increase
this
to
approximately
1.2,
so
we'll
be
slightly
over
that
median,
but
still
within
the
range
and
still
in
very
good
standing
compared
to
some
of
our
peers.
X
This
is
a
maturity,
sort
of
a
maturity
schedule.
This
is
an
exhibit
that
we
put
in
our
budget
book
so
that
the
total
geo
debt
here
is
not
going
to
equal,
the
previous
exhibit,
which
was
based
on
all
these
municipalities
latest
annual
reports-
annual
audits,
so
that
our
for
us
that
was
the
end
of
2021.
This
is
going
into
2023..
X
So
I
just
wanted
to
highlight.
You
know
the
fact
that
we
do
have
a
lot
of
debt
rolling
off
in
the
next
few
years.
You
know
we're
we're
in
pretty
good
position
and
not
to
speak
like
lightly
of
debt,
but
you
can
kind
of
you
can
look
down
at
the
bottom
and
see
what
these
different
series
funded
so
the
first
column,
the
2013,
a
refunding
bonds.
That's
a
general
fund,
335
000
will
be
rolling
off
here
in
the
next
year
or
so.
The
next
next
column,
1.2
million.
X
We
we
pre-fund
debt
service
into
the
bond
funds
a
year
in
advance,
and
so
these
numbers
it
says,
therefore,
debt
service
payments
seen
above,
are
accounted
for
in
the
previous
fiscal
year.
So
these
are
the
payments
when
the
payment's
going
to
occur,
but
we
actually
incorporate
that
incorporate
these
numbers
into
our
budget
in
the
previous
year
next
slide.
Please.
X
So
the
intergovernmental
agreement
we
discussed
this
with
the
resolution
back
in
november
illinois
library
act.
Libraries
cannot
issue
bonds
on
their
own.
So
how
do
we
work
this
from
a
city
standpoint?
So
the
city
issues
the
bonds,
the
library
is
going
to
levy
for
their
portion
of
the
debt,
and
so
we
we
needed
to
have
an
intergovernmental
agreement
kind
of
outlining
how
the
dollar
is
going
to
flow,
and
this
is
an
assurance
to
investors.
X
You
know
basically,
the
city
is
is
stating
that
we're
going
to
use
our
full.
You
know
full
taxing
ability
to
pay
for
these
bonds.
X
In
addition
to
you
know,
we
have
this
component
related
to
the
library
and
they're
going
to
be
utilizing
their
levy
as
well,
so
it
just
it
provides
all
the
guidance
to
staff
on
on
what
we
need
to
do.
So
when
the
bonds
settle,
we'll
do
an
allocation
proportional
allocation
between
the
city
and
the
library,
we'll
transfer
the
library,
their
funds,
they'll,
execute
their
project
and
then
we'll
go
forward
each
year
according
to
the
debt
schedule
with
the
levy,
and
so
all
that
will
be
known
upon
the
sale
of
the
bonds
here.
X
If
you
read
the
ordinance
why
there
was
a
kind
of
a
high
rate
indicated
in
there,
but
our
our
targeted
total
our
effective
interest
cost
is
three
percent
a
little
perspective
on
where
we
are
compared
to
our
peers
and
where
we
are
compared
to
our
maturity
of
our
some
of
our
other
debt.
So
at
this
point
in
time
you
know
I'd
recommend
those
two.
The
agreement
and
the
bond
ordnance
be
approved,
but
we'll
take
any
questions
right
now
as
well.
H
One
quick
one:
should
we
get
any
grants
or
or
donations,
are
you
going
to?
How
do
you
plan
to
account
for
those
in
these?
Are
they
going
to
come
directly
off
of
the
amount
that
we
we
bond,
or
how
would
you
deal
with
that?
Well,.
X
H
X
An
option
is
we
could
set
that
aside
for
bond
for
debt
service
in
the
future,
so
we
could
lower.
These
are
options.
You
know
that
could
come
before
council.
So
if
a
large
grant
came
into
the
library
not
to
speak
for
the
library,
but
an
option
is
that
that
dollar
amount
could
be
set
aside
into
the
bond
fund
and
utilize
for
future
debt
payments,
and
that
would
offset
the
the
need
for
the
levy
in
the
future.
Some
of
the
levy
costs.
H
Okay,
thank
you
just
a
quick
comment.
Obviously
everybody
knows
I
like
the
two
projects.
I
don't
like
the
cost
right,
but
I'm
not
going
to
be
silly.
The
projects
have
been
approved.
I
think
this
is
a
good
way
to
fund
it.
Given
that
I
think
I
will
support
this.
H
A
Thank
you,
councilman
monty.
S
Sure,
last
year,
at
this
time
we
were
the
last
few
days.
You
know
before
the
local
elections,
and
you
know
it
was
a
really
humbling
experience
to
go
door-to-door
and
meet
with
so
many
people,
property
tax
increase.
S
I
remember
vividly
conversations
with
people
who
had
worked
hard
throughout
their
careers
to
pay
off
their
houses
and
then
felt
that
they
have
a
continual
mortgage
and
we're
considering
moving
out
of
state.
So
when
I
think
of
a
slide
like
the
one
we
are
showing,
that
shows
our
peer
communities,
peoria,
springfield,
etc.
S
You
know,
illinois
is
now
number
one
in
overall
taxation
of
its
people,
we're
number
two
in
property
taxes.
As
we
went
through
these
iterations
this
year
and
discussing
these
projects,
my
position
had
been:
let's
find,
then
the
offsetting
reduction
in
other
ways.
Obviously
you
know
we're
spending
as
discussed
before
you
know,
45
more
than
than
just
a
few
years
ago
on
a
flat
population.
S
It's
that
impact
to
our
people
when
we're
excited
about
these
projects,
and
I
can
feel
the
excitement,
but
I
believe
it
has
to
be
tempered
with
the
recognition
of
the
burden
that
this
place
is.
I
was
told
by
so
many
you'll
never
be
able
to
make
a
difference
in
taxes,
and
my
response
was
well.
I
can
commit
that
I
won't
vote
to
continue
increasing
them
as
step
one.
S
I've
appreciated
the
projects
tonight
and
I
appreciate
you
know
nick's
comment
about.
It's
a
done
deal
now.
We
have
to
finance
it
right,
but
I
just
wanted
to
share
that.
You
know
we're
losing
population
for
the
very
reasons
that
we're
talking
about
here
in
increasing
property
taxes
in
our
community.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
council
member
matthew,.
G
Thanks
mayor,
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
motion
that
we
approve
this
as
presented.
Second.
A
C
A
Okay,
all
right
so
item
9e
passes.
There
are
no
names
to
announce
you
all.
Moving
on
to
item
9f
consideration
and
action
on
a
resolution
approving
a
policy
relative
to
redistricting,
as
requested
by
the
legal
department,
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
city
manager.
Gleason.
R
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
We
have
corporation
council
jeff
jerigins
is
going
to
walk
us
through
the
redistricting
in
the
city
of
bloomington
and
it's
driven
by
the
2020
census.
This
is
our
part
by
way
of
resolution
and
also
there's
components
with
mclean
county
and
the
bloomington
election
commission
as
well.
I'm
going
to
turn
the
floor
over
to
jeff.
Z
I
think
he's
city
manager
and
council,
and
just
to
piggyback
on
what
the
city
manager
said.
So
there
has
been
a
population
increase
with
the
2020
census
and
every
time
we
have
a
a
census
like
this,
it
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
go
back
and
reevaluate
and
look
at
the
wards
and
the
boundaries
and
and
make
sure
that
they
are
equal
and
those
kinds
of
things.
Z
Z
Well,
looking
at
the
2020
census,
data,
a
standard
ward
would
be
or
a
balanced
ward
would
be:
8
749,
8742
people
with
our
current
map
and
population.
If
we're
using
that
as
the
balance,
we
have
two
awards
that
are
out
of
sync
with
that
or
that
are
more
than
10
ward.
7
has
too
few
people
with
a
little
over
7,
700
and
ward
8
has
10
973
to
many
people.
Z
So
what
we
need
to
do
is
reconfigure
those
boundaries
so
that
the
populations
are
as
nearly
as
equal
as
possible
and
unfortunately,
because
these
words
are
it's
not
like
they're,
just
right
next
to
each
other.
We
can't
just
take
a
few
from
this
word
and
put
them
in
this
other
ward.
They're
they're,
you
know,
separated
out
we're
going
to
have
to
adjust
several
of
the
awards
to
get
that
done.
Z
So
what
we
are
proposing
tonight
is
basically
to
use
a
gis
data
driven
process
that
we've
got
staff
on
with
the
city
that
can
use
gis.
Z
They
can
put
in
the
numbers
that
can
you
know,
change
the
boundaries
all
they're
looking
at
is
the
population
and
making
sure
that
they're,
compact
and
contiguous
and
using
a
gis
process
based
on
the
principles
that
we
set
forth
in
this
resolution,
and
this
is
a
a
resolution
that
the
city
of
champaign
has
used
in
the
past,
where
they
kind
of
set
out
what's
important
to
them
and
and
following
good
practices
for
creating
and
drawing
new
districts.
So
our
proposal
is
that
the
council
approve
this
resolution
setting
forth
what
the
process
is
going
to.
Z
Z
But
then
we
get
those
maps
back
to
you,
as
the
council
at
the
committee
of
the
whole
in
june,
have
some
opportunity
for
discussion,
get
public
input
and
then
put
on
the
july
agenda
for
approval
and
action
on
approving
one
of
those
maps,
the
deadline
or
the
clock.
So
to
speak
that
we're
running
against
is
the
august.
What
I
think
is
the
august
30th
date
to
start
circulating.
Petitions
for
the
election
that'll
take
place
in
april
of
2023.
Z
Thinking
about
you
know
the
the
election
in
april
of
2023,
but
that
process
will
start
late
this
summer
and
so
we'd
like
to
get
the
map
in
place
the
new
district's
drawn,
so
that
candidates
can
start
to
circulate
petitions
and
know
what
wards
you
know,
they're
going
to
be
able
to
run
in,
and
things
like
that.
So
that's
a
a
brief
overview
happy
to
answer
any
questions
as
to
what
we're
looking
at.
But
our
recommendation
is
to
approve
this
resolution
that
will
set
forth
and
start
that
process
in
place.
V
I
just
have
a
question:
can
you
can
you
speak
just
briefly
to
your
thinking?
Why
go
this
route
as
opposed
to
having
a
community-wide
discussion
similar
to
the
counties,
red
white
and
blue
process.
Z
And
we
could,
I
think,
there's
there.
I
think
you
usually
see
you
know
any
number
of
different
types
of
process
for
something
like
this.
Our
thought
was
just
to
keep
this.
You
know,
data
driven
and-
and
I
I
believe
they
they've
in
the
past,
they
used
the
city
used
to
utilize,
a
state
farm.
Actually
they
had
some
software
and
they
helped
create
different
maps
for
the
city.
Z
E
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah,
I
don't
know
if
we
could.
You
know,
I
don't
know
if
what
you
said.
This
is
a
part
of
it,
but
you
know
public
hearing,
maybe
once
the
three
maps
are
out
something
like
that.
Maybe
also
isn't
part
of
this
that
the
bloomington
election
commission
is
creating
new
precinct
maps.
Z
Right
so
originally
the
bloomington
election
commission
was
going
to
have
new
precinct
maps
before
we
went
to
this
process,
but
they
do
not
believe
their
process
is
going
to
be
complete
for
this.
So
we're
going
to
base
our
new
awards
on
the
existing
precincts.
E
And
then
so,
I'm
trying
to
understand
the
timing
right
so
like.
When
would
we
vote
like
say,
vote
to
approve
a
map
about.
Z
It
right
so
originally
this
this
process
would
have
us
give
us,
you
know
a
month
or
two
to
get
the
maps
together
to
get
the
data
out
there.
You
guys
the
council
look
at
it
in
at
the
committee
of
the
hole
in
june
and
you
you
can
take
the
process
from
there.
Maybe
you're
ready
at
the
last
meeting
in
june,
we're
contemplating
that
it'd
be
at
a
meeting
in
july,
but
you
could
also,
if,
if
it
needs
several
renditions
or
you
decide,
you
all
want
more
public
hearings.
Z
E
Z
You
know,
I,
I
don't
think,
that's
a
dumb
question
at
all.
That's
a
great
question
and
I
think
I
believe
the
answer
is
it'll
take
effect
at
the
time
of
the
next
election
and
that's
partly
why
one
of
the
principles
in
here
is
that
the
incumbents
are
to
be
included
within
the
war,
because
we
don't
want
to
end
up
with
a
map
where
all
of
a
sudden
there's
a
ward
with
no
representation
in
it.
So
that
might
seem
a
little
funny
at
first,
but
there
really
is
logic
behind
that.
G
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
I
appreciate
how
early
this
is
coming
forward,
because
the
first
time
I
ran
for
election,
I
had
to
convince
half
of
ward
one.
No,
I
know
you
just
voted
but
you're
in
ward
one
now
you
used
to
be
in
four
now
you're
in
one
and
that
that
there
is
some
time
it
takes
the
public
time
to
really.
You
know
when
they're
not
watching
what
we
do
every
week
they
take.
It
takes
some
time
for
people
to
understand
that
we've
changed
things
right.
So
thank
you
for
doing
this
early.
A
B
A
Okay,
so
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
our
finance
director's
report
and
city
manager
gleason
any
introductory
comments.
R
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
scott
rathbun
finance
director.
This
is
the
end
of
month,
financial
report
not
to
be
confused
with
fy
23
conversations.
This
is
the
fy
22
monthly
report,
scott.
X
Back
there
I
forgot,
I
was
coming
back
up
so
I'll,
be
quick,
there's
no
material
changes
from
from
last
month,
acknowledging
that
you
know
the
conditions
of
the
economy
while
they
they
may
have
positive
impacts
for
the
city
related
to
sales
taxes.
They
they
do
impact
residents.
So
are
aware
of
that.
So
any
comments
I
make
about
how
well
we're
doing
just
wanted
to
put
that
in
context.
X
Initially
next
slide,
please
so
I've
just
highlighted
the
you
know,
trying
to
pick
out
a
couple
of
categories
each
month
to
highlight
home
rule
sales
tax,
the
the
two
highlighted
items.
You
know
we
took
down
the
the
budget,
1.4
million
million
dollars
going
into
22
from
21
concerned
about
residual
covet
impact,
we're
3.8
million
dollars
ahead
of
budget.
So
you
know
if
everything
just
froze
right
now,
we'd
end
up
2.5
million
dollars,
positive
variance
in
that
category
local
motor
fuel
tax.
X
We
took
the
budget
down
by
seven
hundred
thousand
we're
sixty
thousand
dollars
ahead.
So
you
know
if
we
froze
where
we
were
or
where
we
are
right
now
you
know
we
we
allocate
ten
percent
of
home
rule
sales
tax
to
asphalt
and
concrete,
so
that's
250,
000
plus
the
60..
You
know
I'm
going
to
round
this
to
about
you
know
three
or
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
X
We
took
local
motor
fuel
tax
down
by
700
000,
so
you
know
we're
fortunate
in
a
way
that
the
home
rule
is
picking
up
an
offsetting
a
majority
of
that
local
motor
fuel
tax
reduction.
So
things
are
starting
to
pick
up
on
the
local
motor
fuel
tax
side,
but
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
highlight
the
perspective
of
of
the
trend
related
to
those
two
revenue
sources
as
of
today.
X
The
other
highlighted
item
is
just
the
total
for
these
categories:
a
12.6
million
dollars
that
will
have
some
some
meaning
here
on
the
next
slide.
Next
slide,
please
so
just
to
recap:
we've
added
a
projection
column
we'll
spend
a
great
deal
of
time
on
that
projection
column
next
month,
we'll
be
about
11
months
in
to
the
year.
While
we
still
have
many
revenue
categories
that
lag.
X
This
should
give
us
some
good
visibility
on
where
we
might
end
up,
so
that
highlighted
item
on
the
previous
sli
exhibit
correlates
to
the
taxes
line
where
we're
showing
a
17
million
dollar
positive
variance
on
that
line.
Item
next
slide.
Please
really
no
changes
here
in
the
projection
column
from
prior
month
other
than
we
did
add
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
the
commodities
projection
related
to
fuel
cost
increase.
That
is
materializing.
X
Now
I
mean
everyone
feels
that
so
we're
feeling
that
the
city
a
lot
of
that
it's
under
contract,
but
we're
having
to
source
for
those
additional
funds
now,
so
it
didn't
really
didn't
really
materially
impact
the
year
end
as
we
have
projected
it
so
far.
X
But
the
last
thing
I
wanted
to
highlight
is
this:
exhibit
only
includes
what
we
were
estimating
to
use
for
reserves
for
neopoll
prior
to
tonight's
meeting,
so
that
was
six
million
dollars,
so
we
just
approved
usually
using
8.2
million
dollars
of
reserves
for
the
pool,
so
all
things
being
held
equal
and
we
know
there's
going
to
be
changes.
We'd
still
look
at
finishing
this
fiscal
year
in
that
30
to
32
million
dollar
reserve
area
or
range.
I
should
say
next
slide,
please
just
real
quickly.
X
I
only
want
to
highlight
one
thing
here
this
and
that's
solid
waste.
So
it's
always
comes
up
a
lot.
A
few
months
ago,
back
in
october,
that
year-to-date
gain
loss
number
was
very
sizable.
X
It's
just
an
opportunity
to
kind
of
comment
on
how
we
report
budgetary
balances,
the
commitments,
slash
pos,
some
we
refer
to
those
as
encumbrances
many
times
that
line
item,
I'm
going
to
repeat
it
again
this
month,
when
we
sign
those
contracts
for
landfill,
et
cetera.
All
of
that
is
is
hit
against
the
budget
from
day
one
so
we'll
have
an
expense
being
shown
with
pending
revenues
coming
in
over
the
next
months.
But
you
can
see
that
now
the
year-to-date
gain
loss
is
just
down
to
81
000
for
solid
waste.
X
The
the
brush
burner
is
doing
is
doing
very
well
as
well.
As
you
know,
recycling
we're
actually
getting
revenues
from
recycling
now,
as
opposed
to
a
net
expense
last
year
at
this
time.
So
a
big
turnaround
on
that
fund.
Very
fortunate,
all
the
revenue
trends
are
are
on
target.
I
guess
also
highlight
your
date
gain
loss
for
golf
105,
000,
doing
very
well.

R
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
catherine.
I
have
just
a
couple.
This
friday
is
first
friday
april
1st
and
it's
the
hunt
for
the
golden
egg.
I
was
asked
last
time
what's
in
the
golden
egg,
I
cannot
reveal
that
at
this
time
next
slide,
I
do
not
know.
R
I
have
deniability
slower
day
on
route
66,
that's
a
saturday
downtown
bloomington.
Yet
another
event,
I
think
we
have
70
plus
events
scheduled
for
downtown
bloomington
in
2022.,
so
great
job
by
melissa
and
her
crew
next
slide,
and
I
think
that
was
it.
I
just
had
two
additional
comments.
R
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Next
is
mayor's
discussion,
and
just
for
the
sake
of
brevity,
I'm
gonna
spare
everybody.
I
know
it's
pretty
late
and
we'll
move
on
to
a
council
member
comments.
G
G
G
G
Thanks
to
the
rest
of
my
colleagues
and
council,
I
appreciate
the
time
you've
given
me
and
the
interesting
discussions
we've
had
and
thank
you
to
tim,
billy
and
the
rest
of
bloomington
staff.
You
do
far
more
for
our
residents
than
anyone
who
is
not
part
of
this
organization
can
actually
understand,
there's
a
reason
why
bloomington's
won
so
many
awards,
including
happiest
city
in
america
and
best
place
to
live
post
covet.
We
have
an
amazing
community
and
we
are
on
an
upwards
trend
that
many
cities
are
jealous
of
love
living
in
bloomington.
G
A
Okay,
it's
a
bit
of
a
shocker,
but
we
definitely
understand
that
you
you
have
to
do
what
you
need
to
do
for
yourself,
your
family
and
as
well
as
your
your
employees.
I
I'm
sure
there
will
be
a
different
time,
an
opportunity
to
to
celebrate
your
service
in
a
way
that
is
more
appropriate,
not
so
off
the
cuff,
but
definitely
want
to
say.
Thank
you
it's
you
know.
I
think
it's.
A
It's
been
a
lot
of
fun,
working
together
through
the
highs
and
the
lows,
but
only
highs
tonight,
the
only
low
is
you
leaving.
So
again.
We
want
to
thank.
X
C
A
Amount
of
time
that
you
you've
spent,
you
know.
C
A
With
with
all
of
us,
and
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
you're
you're
gone
you'll
be
right,
downtown
and
I'm
sure
everybody
knows
you
know
if
jamie
has
an
opinion
he'll,
let
you
know
so
we
definitely
look
forward
to
you
know,
hearing
from
you
and
because
you're
the
experience
that
you've
acquired
not
only
on
the
council
but
also
living
in
downtown
bloomington,
has
been
extremely
valuable.
So
thank
you.
K
J
What
an
honor
to
have
the
opportunity
to
sit
here
next
to
you
even
for
this
short
time,
and
thank
you
for
everything
you've
done
for
the
city
for
inspiring
us
as
a
people
moving
us
forward.
What
an
honor
to
have
had
you
in
our
you
know
on
council
and
to
serve
the
community
as
you
have.
We
are
all
gonna
feel
the
loss
of
you
having
to
step
away
and
godspeed.
God
bless
my
friend.
