A
A
A
Jen
you
with
us
I,
am
you're
ready
to
hit
the
ground
running.
Yes,
all
right:
okay,
yes,
yes,
I
took
just
two
announced
for
work
purposes,
correct,
sorry,
I
think
I
did
did
that
drink
trust
to
the
the
township,
but
I
forgot
to
do
that
here.
Thank
you,
so
much
okay
for
she's
away
from
work
purposes,
so
that
is
consistent
with
our
ordinance.
A
Next,
we
have
appointments
recognitions
of
people
who
have
been
approved
appointed
by
the
mayor,
approved
by
the
council,
and
if
you
are
here,
if
you
would
please
stand
and
if
we
could
hold
the
applause
until
everyone's
recognized
appointment
of
Brittany
Burton
to
the
citizens
of
unification
committee
Brittany,
are
you
here,
don't
see,
Brittany
appointment
of
Jeffery
Pitzer
to
the
cultural
Commission,
Jeffery
appointment
of
Betty
Middleton
to
the
Bloomington
housing

Bay
Colton,
Sylvester
to
the
genom
Scott
Healthcare
Commission,
and
appointment
of
Edie
bright,
wiser
to
the
Transportation
Committee
Edie?
Okay!
A
Next,
we
move
to
public
comment
and
again
I
would
just
remind
everybody
that
if
you
want
to
to
get
answers
to
questions
or
perhaps
problem
solve,
we
meet
it
on
Fridays
from
4:30
to
5:30
for
a
mayor's
open
house
kind
of
like
a
town-hall
meeting
every
other
week
right
over
there
by
the
fishbowl
prior
to
a
regular
council
meeting.
So
if
you
want
answers,
you
want
to
talk
or
even
throw
ideas
out
to
your
fellow
citizens.
That's
the
place
to
do
it
here.
A
D
So
I
like
to
respectfully
request
that
you
approve
the
gaming
addition
to
some
new
licenses
coming
forward.
I
was
born
and
raised
here
as
been
in
business
in
town
with
a
high
integrity,
reputation
for
over
25
years,
and
we
applied
for
a
gaming
license
coming
on
close
to
a
year
ago.
I
understand
the
desire
to
put
some
kind
of
limit
or
basic
requirements
on
video
gaming.
You
know
coming
into
town,
but
my
business
is
a
classic
example
of
why
hard
and
fast
rules
for
new
licenses
can
be
detrimental
to
local
business
growth.
D
Instead
set
up
some
exceptions
that
sit
within
the
what
the
city
is
trying
to
accomplish,
rather
than
you
know
these
very
harsh,
across-the-board
moratorium
type
things
that
could
drive
businesses
away.
We
are
offering
a
unique
venue
for
customers
who
don't
want
the
environment
of
a
gas
station
or
a
bar.
Had
we
known,
we
would
have
had
these
kind
of
delays
based
on
our
business
being
specifically
game,
and
then
our
entertainment
oriented
we
very
well
would
have
actually
looked
into
moving
in
a
normal.
D
E
Good
evening
my
name
is
Peter
Pontius
I
am
the
director
of
loss
prevention,
compliance
for
B&B,
amusement
of
Illinois,
I
hope.
My
plaid
shirt
and
new
boot
is
in
decorum
for
the
meeting
this
evening.
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
talk
about
support
the
pilot
truck
stop,
which
is
one
of
our
clients
in
terms
of
a
large
truck,
stop
category.
E
That's
on
the
video
gaming
agenda
this
evening,
the
by
having
a
large
truck
stop
and
we
actually
have
to
in
town,
ta
and
pilot
by
not
allowing
those
two
establishments
to
have
the
maximum
ten
games
which
the
state
is
allowed.
The
city
will
be
passing
on
25,000
dollars
in
revenue,
upfront
from
their
own
application.
E
Fear
license
fee
for
terminals,
yet
alone
the
income
from
the
additional
five
games
at
each
location
in
terms
of
revenue
that
those
games
would
bring
in
and
then
also
the
revenue
from
transient
people
that
are
passing
through
his
truckers
fuel
tax
from
the
hundreds
of
gallons
of
Diesel's
that
they
pump
the
gaming
tax
that
the
city
receives
from
the
player
there.
The
sales
tax
in
their
CEO
can
be
hit
stores,
as
well
as
the
food
sales
tax
from
their
restaurants.
E
These
are
all
transient
people
passing
through
that
the
city
of
Bloomington
will
be
passing
on
that
revenue
and
allowing
it
to
go
down
the
road
to
additional
or
two
truck
stops
that
are
outside
of
the
city
limits:
McClain
Lincoln,
Maroa,
Chenoa,
Decatur,
farmer,
city,
Leroy,
an
and
list
goes
on.
All
those
municipalities
are
going
to
have
the
ability
to
have
ten
games
that
their
large
truck
stops,
which
they
all
do.
So.
Why
are
we
allowing
those
dollars
to
leave
Bloomington?
If
you
allow
the
truckers
to
stop
here,
their
money
will
stay
here.
E
F
Okay,
this
past
Monday
morning
there
was
another
torrential
downpour
which
we
needed.
However,
as
Jim
cars
gets
sick
and
tired,
he
hit
me
saying
the
inlets
could
not
handle
the
volume
of
water.
Naturally,
the
streets
flooded,
the
sidewalk.
It
was
over
the
sidewalk
or
up
the
drive
headed
for
the
house.
Fortunately
it
didn't
come
in
Terry.
You
know
it
makes
me
wonder:
when
are
these
sidewalks
and
streets
going
to
be
done?
I
know
you're
working
on
them,
but
not
fast
enough.
F
F
G
Hi
I'm
Nancy
Marciniak
some
observations.
I've
worked
alongside
many
immigrants.
In
my
life,
some
had
papers,
some
did
not.
In
20
plus
years
as
a
waitress
I
worked
with
immigrants
from
Mexico.
They
often
came
without
English,
starting
as
dishwashers
when
their
English
improved.
They
could
work
the
front
of
the
store
as
a
Busboys.
G
They
were
capable
hard-working,
had
good
family
values,
not
all
wanted
to
become
US
citizens.
Some
wanted
to
eventually
return
to
the
ties
of
home.
Some
did
pursue
legal
status,
which
opened
the
possibility
to
trade
as
a
cook.
A
cook
was
a
more
difficult
target
and
machinery
in
the
machinery
to
replace
and
short
notice
investments
couldn't
be
risked
and
a
person
who
might
suddenly
be
caught
up
in
a
raid
and
deported.
G
G
Years
later
different
job
paths,
I
worked
with
other
immigrants
educated
skilled,
able
to
create
their
own
niche.
It
was
a
small
business
designed
specialized
products
for
industry,
office
manager,
love
women,
Lebanese
electrical
engineer,
tall
shy
from
Belarus
one
woman
office
staff
from
Puerto
Rico,
a
mechanical
engineer,
Romanian
impish
sense
of
humor,
down-to-earth
family
man
played
classical
violin,
invited
us
all
to
a
free
concert
given
by
his
chamber
group
at
a
local
church.
G
There
was
an
affiliated
business
next
door
with
a
sheet
metal
shop
that
fabricated,
our
consoles
all
Polish.
It
seems
to
me
that
being
a
good
citizen
has
little
to
do
with
paperwork.
Rather
it
has
to
do
with
ribbity
your
individual
efforts
to
the
whole,
even
when
circumstances
have
left
your
individual
potentials
unrealized.
G
It
also
seems
to
me
that
it
is
the
obligation
of
society
to
recognize
individual
effort
and
create
opportunities
that
allow
circumstances
to
change,
if
not
for
the
first
generation,
at
least
for
the
second
I,
do
not
want
to
see.
Any
group
of
people
become
a
permanent
underclass.
That
bears
repeating.
I
do
not
want
to
see
any
group
of
people
become
a
permanent
underclass,
but
in
a
populous
planet
with
ever
shifting
people's.
These
are
complicated
issues.
G
H
I'm
here
because
of
the
video
gaming
I,
do
not
believe
in
any
way
shape
or
form
that
and
I
say
this
with
all
due
respect.
Nobody
sitting
up
there
has
been
elected
to
tell
me
or
anybody
above
the
age
of
21
how
they
should
spend
their
discretionary
entertainment
dollar.
The
gambling
cat
is
out
of
the
bag.
There's
no
going
back.
You
have
to
let
the
market
dictate
how
this
is
going
to
work
and
I
see
no
reason
why
that
should
not
work.
H
When
I've
been
here
more
than
once
to
say,
let's
put
a
cap
on
liquor
licenses
and
that's
never
been
agreed
on,
because
everybody
in
that
only
this
City
Council,
the
past
city
councils
have
said
no.
The
market
will
dictate
the
number
of
liquor
licenses
we
need
the
market
should
dictate.
This
there's
absolutely
no
reason
why
it
shouldn't-
and
nobody
up
here
will
ever
convince
me
that
it
should
so
I
please
when
you're
voting
tonight
I
mean
I'm,
not
in
favor
of
a
cap
at
all.
Let
the
market
do
what
it's
going
to
do.
H
H
You
know
and
I've
been
here
for
42
years
with
a
liquor
license
I've
already
been
vetted
by
the
FBI
and
the
state
and
everybody
else
I'm
being
forced
to
take
over
another
bar
that
I
sold
20
years
ago.
I
have
to
take
it
back
now,
am
I
gonna
be
a
new
account
or
there's
already
machines
in
there
will
I
be
able
to
take
over
those
machines.
H
Nobody
understands
what
you're
trying
to
do
here
and
it
needs
further
explanation
and
one
little
last
point
last
week,
I
think
it
was
when
you
had
your
town
meeting.
There
was
a
a
lady
came
up
and
said
something
to
the
effect
I'm
not
going
to
have
the
numbers
write
that
in
the
month
of
July
a
hundred
and
or
a
million
dollars
was
lost
through
these
machines.
H
I
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
my
father,
Kenneth
Haas,
this
is
in
regards
to
the
Mackinac
River
pumping
basin.
Dad
would
like
to
buy
the
land
back.
The
following
is
a
statement
from
dad.
There
is
only
one
purpose
for
the
land
and
the
basin
emergency
water
supply.
There
is
only
one
purpose
for
the
cell
back
provision
the
resale
to
be
made
when
the
emergency
no
longer
existed.
I
was
not
in
the
negotiation
sessions.
Mr.
clay
me
and
my
lawyer
was
taking
care
of
that.
I
I
The
word
emergency
or
one
purpose
stated
and
makes
me
wonder
if
he
wasn't
in
the
negotiating
sessions
and
just
received
updates
as
I
did
that's
the
end
dad's
statement
so
back
in
89,
going
through
that
drought
I
can
see
why
the
city
wanted
to
do
this,
but
when
the
city
rates
and
level
of
the
dam
5
feet
that
should
have
negated,
the
emergency
need
right
there,
because
the
higher
volume
now
the
city
has
drilled
two
wells
in
the
st.
Peters
aquifer
for
blending
purposes,
but
there's
no
limit
to
when
you
can
pump
from
those
wells.
I
As
far
as
I
know,
the
pumping
basin
can
only
be
used
when
the
level
of
the
water
in
both
lakes
combined
are
down
8
feet
and
the
level
of
the
Mackinaw
is
at
a
certain
height.
The
problem
there
is
when
the
lakes
are
low,
so
is
the
Mackinaw
making
pumping
difficult.
In
the
last
two
years,
I
have
been
told
that
the
water
department
was
able
to
pump
from
the
basin
for
one
day.
One
day
in
two
years,
I've
been
told
that
the
basin
can
pump
1
million
gallons
of
water
a
day.
I
The
aquifer
pumps
can
pump
1
million
gallons
of
water
per
day
per
well.
If
those
numbers
are
correct,
if
the
city
ran
those
two
wells
every
day
for
two
years,
they
would
pull
1.4
billion,
gallons,
less
water
out
of
the
lakes.
Using
one
point,
four
billion
downs
less
far
outweighs
maybe
getting
1
million
gallons.
If
the
munitions
are
right,
I've
also
been
told
that
the
city
is
looking
at
another
six
wells
and
the
st.
Peters
aquifer
that
would
be
5.8
billion
gallons
left
out
of
the
lakes
in
those
in
those
two
years.
I
This
is
the
family
farm.
Where
my
dad
was
born.
The
city
took
half
a
farm
through
eminent
domain
when
they
built
the
lake
evergreen
in
late
60s,
then
in
89,
the
city
split,
the
last
hundred
acres
and
two
halves
when
they
bought
this
11
acre
tract.
Dad
would
like
to
have
the
farm
put
back
in
one
piece.
My
sons
and
I
agree
with
him.
The
need
for
the
pumpkin
basin
has
long
passed
now
that
the
level
of
the
lake
is
higher
and
you
have
wells
in
the
st.
Peters
aquifer.
I
My
grandfather
bought
the
land
in
1918.
It
has
been
in
the
family
for
over
a
hundred
years,
my
sons
and
my
desires
to
have
that
in
the
family
another
hundred
years,
the
provision
to
buy
the
land
back
was
included
in
the
deed,
because
it
was
meant
for
the
mayor
family
to
be
able
to
buy
the
land
back
once
the
emergency
need
was
over.
That
time
has
come.
I
J
I
just
have
a
few
things.
They
go
back
a
few
months,
I've
been
too
ill
to
get
here
to
address,
but
they've
been
bothering
me
about
the
town.
A
couple
of
things
about
alderman,
Carrillo
I,
understand
that
she
didn't
come
here
illegally.
She
is
now
a
legal
citizen
good
for
her.
She
really
needs
to
start
acting
like
she's
appreciative
of
being
in
a
republic
and
not
treating
people
citizens
in
this
town.
The
way
that
she
has
treated
myself
I
wish
she
was
here
tonight,
physically.
J
J
J
J
Jen
texting
while
people
are
speaking,
it's
been
seen
many
times.
It's
been
talked
about
in
our
circle
or
you
know
about
it's
just
disrespectful.
When
people
are
talking,
they
should
be
at
least
act
like
you're.
Listening,
let's
see,
Oh
Jen
about
the
Gypsy
debacle,
I
am
purchase.
Ii
I
did
message
Jen.
When
this
all
came
down.
She
told
the
media
that
nobody
contacted
her
about
that.
That's
a
lie
and
I
told
her
that
I
would
be
addressing
it
at
City
Council
and
she
just
pulled.
A
A
A
Okay,
moved
by
her
first
or
in
chief,
although
in
the
long
way,
second
by
alderman
krehbiel,
if
everyone
will
go
ahead
and
vote
on
the
motion
as
presented
unless
there's
discussion.
Okay,
although
all
the
women
excuse
me
councilmember
crevel,
excuse
me
craven
council,
member
katyo.
How
do
you
vote
on
this?
I.
B
A
M
I
just
wanted
to
potentially
addressed
just
kind
of
the
criteria
that
we
use
and
make
sure
that
we
understand
it
and
and
just
I
look
through
everything
and
to
me
you
know
it
looks
like
it.
You
know,
I,
don't
see
any
concern
with
the
ownership
with
the
layout
of
the
store.
There
are
several
other
places
where
you
can
buy
liquor
in
that
area,
not
not
on
that
side
of
the
street
and
it
seems
to
fit
in
it's
a
business
area.
I
mean
a
retail
area
with
a
lot
of
other
retail
stores.
M
It's
not
really
close
to
two
residential
areas,
so
the
Liquor
Commission
unanimous
unanimously
approved,
as
so
based
on
that
I'm
a
I
would
vote
in
favor
of
it.
But
let
me
go
to
the
city
code,
which
I'm
looking
up
here
thanks
to
Leslie,
and
this
would
be
creation
of
a
new
license
and,
and
it
talks
about
the
creation
of
such
license.
As
I'm
sorry,
it's
six
106
a
and
then
B
as
the
standard,
so
such
City
Council
should
not
create
a
new
liquor
license
unless
it
has
previously
found.
M
M
The
concerning
ones
of
say,
b5h,
the
extent
to
which
other
businesses
are
licensed
to
sell
alcoholic
beverages
at
retail
in
the
area
under
consideration
and
then
number
six.
The
probable
demand
for
the
proposed
liquor,
establishment,
the
city,
so
I
guess
my
question
of
people
may
follow
up
would
be.
Are
these
just
in
essence,
criteria
to
consider
Jeff
and
not
necessarily
a
a
you
know?
Yes
or
no
hard,
hard
answer
kind
of
thing?
This
is
just
kind
of
within
our
discretion.
Considering
those
things.
N
N
A
These
are
the
things
that
we
would
consider.
One
of
the
other
things
it's
not
specifically
mentioned
is
whether
or
not
we've
had
objections,
and
we
had
no
objections
at
the
Liquor
Commission
meeting
and
I.
Think
that's
one
of
the
many
reasons
why
the
entity,
the
commercial
district
and,
as
you
note
the
layout,
we
would
definitely
take
a
look
at
the
layout.
There
were
questions
about
video
gaming.
That's
part
of
their
license.
That's
pretty
typical
question
to
ask
and
obviously
economic
impact.
You
know
generally
at
a
macro
level,
but
also
immediately
if
it
were
residential.
N
Other
than
I
would
just
say
this:
this
talks
about
things
that
that
you,
you
shall
consider,
there's
no
disqualifying
factor
per
se
in
here.
So
if
this
is
something
that
the
Liquor
Commission
they
flushed
through
all
of
these,
when
they
have
those
earrings
but
I'm,
not
aware
of
any
requirement
that
you've
got
a
detail,
each
single
one
of
them
I
was.
A
O
A
Yeah
I
think
several
of
us
do.
I,
don't
know
that
I
have
the
Sarina
liquor.
Commissioners
I,
don't
know
which
ones
I
would
at
least
I
had
seen
visited
the
site
not
at
the
same
time,
but
that
that
doesn't
matter
but
anyway
often
that's
the
case.
Do
we
visit
every
site
know
if
it's
a
if
it's
downtown
I
always
go
the
other
liquor.
Commissioners
may
or
may
not
it
that's
a
very
depending
on
who's
on
the
Liquor
Commission.
A
P
Thank
You,
mayor
and
city
council,
this
is
a
large
item,
and
so
it
is.
This
is
important
to
have
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
it's
going
to
put
everybody
to
sleep,
but
it's
very
important.
So
whenever
you
talk
about
a
water
distribution
system,
the
importance
of
clean
water
is
critical.
The
information
to
distribute
that
water
is
just
as
critical.
P
If
you
don't
know,
pressures
water
quality
at
the
different
points
of
the
water
distribution
system,
you
can't
provide
an
equitable
system
across
the
distribution
system,
so
SCADA
is
just
an
acronym
that
stands
for
supervisory
and
data
acquisition
system.
So
that's
really
all
it
is
so
the
it's.
The
ability
for
the
throughout
the
distribution
system
to
have
data
acquisition,
monitors
to
be
able
to
say
what's
the
chlorine
level
at
this
point
in
the
system.
P
What's
the
pressure
at
this
point
in
the
system
so
that
the
supervisors,
the
people
running
the
plant
can
make
sure
that
they
have
all
of
the
information
so
that
they
push
the
right
amount
of
water
through
the
system?
They
don't
push
too
much
too
little.
You
can
do
a
lot
of
damage
if
you
have
the
wrong
pressures
in
the
system.
You
can
blow
a
lot
of
main
and
have
a
lot
of
water
main
breaks
if
you
do
it
wrong,
so
this
is
really
important.
P
It's
20,
plus
years
old
in
many
of
our
places,
and
so
it's
high
time
that
we
start
to
replace
that
as
part
of
that
process,
the
Department
almost
three
years
ago
started
the
overall
master
planning
process
so
that
we
had
a
game
plan
to
be
able
to
move
forward,
and
so
this
is
in
line
or
wanting
to
start
some
of
those
pieces
that
are
in
line
with
some
of
the
information
that
we
learned
as
part
of
that
process.
Thanks.
K
And
I
wanted
to
shed
a
little
clarity
on
this
too,
because
you
know
I
represent
over
parts
of
town
with
a
lot
of
those
old
water,
mains
and
water
lines
all
over
the
place,
and
we
have
on
a
regular
basis,
breaks
where
we're
digging
things
up
and
we're
digging
roads
up
and
stuff
like
that
too.
K
So
I
know
that
it's
top
of
mind
for
all
of
us
that
we
need
to
fix
the
infrastructure
under
the
street
before
we
put
new
pavement
on
top
of
the
street,
because
the
worst
last
thing
we
want
to
do
is
we
don't
want
to
dig
the
anything
up
we
just
repaved
right,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
on
the
right
path
and
just
for
again
just
for
clarity.
The
way
that
this
is
written
is
right.
K
Now
we
don't
actually
know
100%
the
scope
of
work,
so
we're
approving
an
amount
without
knowing
the
scope
of
work.
Yet
because
some
of
that
is
going
to
depend
on
once.
You
start,
you
know
I
own
I
own,
an
old
house
once
you
open
up
the
walls
to
fix
one
thing:
you
never
know
what
you're
gonna
find
inside
of
those
walls
and
I
made
that
same
analogy
to
somebody
today
that
once
we
start
working
on
this,
we
don't
necessarily
know
every
bit
we're
gonna
uncover
along
the
way.
K
P
Is
correct?
There
are
times
when
we
know
exactly
the
steps
that
need
to
be
taken
to
accomplish
a
goal.
In
this
case,
we
don't
complete,
we're
being
transparent.
We
don't
completely
know
what
will
be
the
first
thing
that
we'll
have
issues
with.
We
know
we've
set
some
goals
for
this
year.
As
far
as
some
software
and
hardware
issues,
we
know
there
are
some
complete
failures
with
some
of
our
remote
detection.
But
beyond
that,
we
know
that
there's
just
this
is
a
maintenance
contract.
P
That's
trying
to
allow
up
to
accomplishing
certain
goals
and
for
a
length
of
time,
there's
always
the
ability
for
the
city
on
an
annual
basis
if
we're
having
issues
and
we've
communicated
properly
to
get
out
of
the
contract.
But
this
really
gives
us
that
that
ability
to
maintain
the
system
we
have
that's.
K
Awesome
Jim.
Thank
you
now
the
one
thing
that
you
know,
hopefully
we're
going
to
have
a
technology
commission
that
has
put
it
in
place
soon
and
once
we
get
there,
I'm
gonna
have
some
requirements.
I'm
gonna
want
to
talk
to
you
about
as
we're
looking
at
open
data
and
as
a
future
topic
and
what
kind
of
analysis
we
can
do
with
our
partners
at
research.
Universities
which
happen
to
be
located
fairly
close
to
us
around.
K
Some
of
the
you
know
what
they're
looking
at
engineering
programs
that
they're
bringing
in
there
could
be
some
partnerships
there
in
the
future,
but
that's
a
couple
years
down
the
road,
so
that'll,
just
top
mine
awareness.
That
that'll
be
something
we're
talking
about
in
the
future
of
how
the
city
functions
on
an
open
data
platform
to
which
things
we
allow
access
to,
in
which
we
don't
and
but
there's
still
many
many
iterations
to
happen
before
so
they.
P
A
Second,
by
councilmember
painter
any
further
discussion.
If
everyone
go
ahead
and
vote,
then
council
member
katyo
aye
motion
carries
9
to
0.
There
are
no
names
to
announce
madam
clerk,
and
we
move
on
to
our
next
items,
which
are
regular
agenda
and
the
first
is
action
on
an
ordinance
approving
a
real
estate
contract
with
the
Boys
&
Girls
Club.
We
have
approximately
10
minutes,
budgeted
for
the
city
manager
and
approximately
10
minutes
of
council
discussion
on
this
and
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Gleason
Thank.
L
You,
mayor
and
council,
this
is
an
exciting
item
and
I
don't
say
that
too
often,
but
this
one
rises
to
that
level.
I
stepped
into
this
position
July
of
last
year.
This
had
been
in
the
works.
This
discussion,
this
public-private
partnership,
had
been
something
that
had
been
talked
about
for
a
little
while
and
council
made
it
very
clear
that
you
know
they
want
to
dis,
addressed
and
try
to
find
a
way
with
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
L
That's
to
the
West
that
butts
up
to
the
east
side
of
the
been
word
property
for
future
opportunities.
So
while
this
thing
has
been
discussed
for
the
last
year-plus
and
really
you
know,
we
were
getting
down
to
dotting
the
I's
crossing
the
t's
over
the
past
year.
It's
taken
this
amount
of
time
because
there
were
a
number
of
things
to
consider.
L
You
know
as
an
example,
the
original
site,
where
we
were
going
to
put
water
retention
or
detention
was
in
the
location
of
the
community
gardens
that
were
out
there
in
exploring
this
and
looking
at
this,
we
found
that
if
we
moved
a
little
bit
to
the
south
that
water
detention
area,
that
would
expand
opportunities
for
the
community
gardens
to
in
fact
grow.
So
we
made
that
change.
L
So
there's
just
a
number
of
things
along
the
way
that
we
were
in
partnership
and
discussion
with
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
and
I've
got
about
seven
minutes
left
and
what
I
would
like
to
do.
There's
many
people
that
have
been
involved
in
this,
but
in
my
mind,
no
one
more
so
than
Terry
Reid,
and
also
the
executive
director
of
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
Tony
Maurstad
er.
And
if
you
don't
mind,
I'd
like
to
call
them
to
the
podium
and
they
can
share
some
additional
comments.
L
Q
Thank
you,
Tim
Thank,
You,
mayor
Renner
and
the
City
Council.
Thank
you
for
being
patient
with
us.
I
know
it's
been
a
long
time.
We've
had
some
amazing
conversations.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
partnership
that
we're
building
with
the
city
of
Bloomington
is
a
is
a
great
partnership.
We're
excited
about
the
opportunity.
We're
excited
about
continuing
this
partnership.
Q
I
do
want
to
say
that
this
is
an
amazing
time
for
us.
In
the
past
year,
we've
had
a
waiting
list
from
our
second
week
of
our
some
after-school
program.
This
year
we
started
off
our
program
the
week
before
we
started
our
program.
We
had
a
waiting
list
where
we're
excited
about
the
opportunity,
not
only
for
the
Sunnyside
neighborhood
community
but
Bloomington
and
normal
combined.
Q
We
know
that
there's
more
kids
in
our
community
that
that
need
a
safe
place
to
be
after
school
there's,
families
that
need
to
know
that
their
kids
are
safe
after
school
and
that's
what
we're
here
for
we
appreciate
your
guys's
support
in
this.
We
appreciate
all
the
staffs
every
staff
member
that's
been
involved
in
this.
It's
been
a
it's
been
a
true
partnership
and
we
can't
thank
you
guys
enough.
R
A
O
A
Thanks
anybody
anything
else.
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor.
Then,
if
everyone
to
go
ahead
and
vote
councilmember
cutter
yo,
how
do
you
vote
hi,
okay,
I'm,
not
shocked,
I
just
wanted
to
ask
okay.
The
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
needs
to
announce
mental
product.
Thank
you.
Both
Thank
You,
Terry,
Thank
You
mr.
Gleason,
and
thank
you
staff,
because
this
has
been
a
very,
very
long
multi-year
project.
So
thank
you
appreciate
that.
A
Excuse
me
now
we'll
go
to
item
B
and
that's
consideration
of
action
to
approve
an
ordinance
amending
chapter,
seven
of
the
city
code
to
implement
new
video
gaming
license
requirements
within
the
city
and
to
an
ordinance
setting
a
date
for
acceptance
of
video
gaming
license
applications
both
as
requested
by
the
city.
Excuse
me
by
the
administration,
department
and
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
mr.
Gleason.
And
then
we
have
a
presentation
by
mr.
Gleason
and
mr.
Jergens.
That's
about
five
minutes
and
at
least
in
theory
a
council
discussion
of
ten
minutes.
L
Thank
You
mayor
and
council
not
going
to
use
my
entire
five
minutes,
I
promise.
Well,
this
has
been
something
that
had
been
discussed.
Moratorium
was
in
place
it
rolled
in
to
some
considerations.
At
the
state
level,
fair
amount
of
staff
time
has
been
spent
on
his
very
important
topic.
The
elected
input
has
been,
you
know,
obviously
very
much
appreciated,
giving
us
direction
and
at
the
end
of
it
all
and
tonight
before
council
is
the
action
item.
L
We
think
that
we've
delivered
something
that
all
council
members
can
vote
in
favor
of
their
strong
opinions
for
quite
a
bit
of
community
input,
which
was
not
dismissive
of
that
either.
We
truly
think
that
we
have
an
ordinance
that
can
be
considered
by
council,
potentially
approved
some
of
the
quick
items,
increase
the
video
gaming
terminals
and
be
capped
at
60
establishments.
Video
gaming
revenue
for
each
licensed
establishment
cannot
exceed
50%
of
the
establishments
total
gross
revenues
similar
to
liquor.
License
establishments
will
be
limited
to
5
video
gaming
terminals,
except
for
large
truck
stops.
L
Establishments
will
have
to
meet
certain
requirements,
including
at
least
5
customers.
Seats
per
video
game
terminal
be
in
operation
for
at
least
12
months,
with
certain
exceptions
prior
to
getting
a
video
gaming
license
not
be
located
within
a
residential
zoning
district.
The
sale
of
cannabis
will
be
prohibited
at
establishments.
Sports
betting
will
be
prohibited
at
establishments
except
for
truck
stops.
L
L
Capping
at
five
video
gaming
terminals
versus
the
ten
video
gaming
terminals
for
all
those
that
meet
the
different
provisions
of
the
sale
of
50,000,
gallons
of
gasoline
and
other
items.
So
we
have
five
as
outlined
by
the
gaming
statute,
but
we
only
have
two
currently
that
meet
that
provision
and
I
got
a
minute
and
a
half
left
and
I
am
done.
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
back
over
to
you,
mayor
and
the
council
for
open
discussion
and
questions.
So.
T
T
N
To
how
you
approach
the
zoning
ordinance,
the
recommendation
would
be
to
get
the
actual
ordinance
on
the
table
and
then
there
would
be
a
motion
to
amend
so
there'd,
be
a
motion
and
a
second
to
approve
the
ordinance
and
there'd
be
a
motion
to
amend
it,
and
that
would
be
one
by
one
on
that.
Yes,
okay,.
A
K
R
A
T
A
S
V
A
V
V
A
N
A
Other
distal
questions:
if
we
can
go
ahead
and
vote
then
on
the
amended
motion
and
that
would
be
to
lower
the
fee
for
nonprofits
all
the
woman.
Excuse
me:
council,
member
creel,
confident-looking
Council
member
carrillo.
How
do
you
vote
on
this?
I?
Okay
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
needs
to
announce
madam
clerk
and
are
there
any
other
amendments.
K
A
W
A
O
K
One
of
my
thoughts
on
this
is
is
I.
Think
a
lot
of
it
goes
to
the
equitable
treatment
that
you
were
talking
about,
but
there's
also,
once
you
put
a
hole
in
the
dam,
you
can't
plug
it
back
up
right.
So
this
is
something
that
if
we
actually
determine
that
you
know,
we've
heard
from
a
couple
people
that
ten,
the
truck
stops,
are
going
to
hurt
the
local
businesses
we've
heard
from
a
couple
people
that
tend
that
the
truck
stops
is
going
to
drive
truck
drivers
to
different
truck
stops
in
the
area
right.
K
So
we've
heard
both
sides
of
the
argument
and
right
now,
I
haven't
seen
anywhere
where
we've
gotten
any
proof
or
any
sort
of
numbers
either
way.
But
if
we
vote
this
in
right
now
and
we're
wrong,
we
can
always
go
back
and
change
it
later
right.
We
can.
We
could
say
you
know
what
the
numbers
went
down.
We
want
to
change
how
we
do
this
and
we
can.
K
We
can
fix
this
later,
but
if
we
allow
it
now,
we
I
don't
think
that
there's
really
a
good
mechanism
where
we
can
roll
this
back
and
say
no.
No,
we
allowed
you
to
spend
a
whole
bunch
of
money
to
make
changes
to
your
facility
to
allow
for
10x
or
the
extra
machines
at
your
facility.
Take
all
that
out
now,
I'm
sorry,
you
spent
that
money,
but
so
sorry
right
so
that's
kind
of
where
I'm
at
on
that.
T
You
yeah
we've
talked
about
this
topic.
You
know
a
lot
and
I
want
to
thank
Tim
and
staff
for
putting
together
this
Mis
compromise
and
and
the
the
ordinance
has
presented
with
the
amendments.
You
know,
I'm
not
sure
anything
I'm
going
to
say
to
this
can
convince
anybody,
but
I
have
that
a
lot
of
feedback
from
folks
that
had
said
we
don't
necessarily
care
about
the
truck
stops
and
I
want
to
reflect
that.
I'm
not
gonna,
be
supportive
of
this.
S
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm,
an
agreement
with
council
member
black
that
I
think
we
have
heard
different
sides
of
the
arguments
but
in
my
sense,
the
the
truck
stops
and
based
on
the
feedback
that
I've
gotten
are
in
direct
competition
with
some
of
the
establishments
that
people
visit
for
a
lot
of
other
reasons.
Besides
the
video
gaming,
that
may
be
one
feature
that
attracts
people
to
to
the
business,
but
it's
ultimately
the
the
environment
of
the
business
that
keeps
them
coming
there.
S
V
However,
if
we
take
the
other
model
and
we
increase
now,
it
will
be
very
difficult
to
unring
the
bell
to
pull
it
back
and
reduce
the
number
of
these
PG
T's
at
any
location.
As
we
know,
we've
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
that
and
that's
been
an
issue
as
we've
taken
on
this
topic
of
taking
away
something
from
the
business
model
that
you
know
that
are
valuable
business
businesses
put
together
and
we're
trying
to
respect
that.
V
So
I
like
this
idea
of
staying
with
five
and
then
let's
monitor
and
see
what
happens
and
finally,
I'll
say
again.
Thank
you
Tim
and
thank
you
Jeff
and
Billy
and
staff
for
the
process
that
you
initiated
to
bring
about
this.
This,
frankly,
is
a
compromise.
I,
don't
think
everybody
got
everything
they
wanted
in
this,
but
it's
what
the
process
worked
very
well
and
I
like
to
replicate
this
process
for
some
other
topics
that
are
going
to
be
coming
up
as
well.
A
Thank
you
all
for
working
through
a
very
difficult
topic
that
we've
been
discussing
for
a
long
time
that
there
are
lots
of
different
opinions
on,
and
this
is
a
compromise,
as
I
believe
I
had
maybe
said,
I
think
was
to
Maria
the
pantograph
there's
something
here
for
everybody's
like
and
not
like,
and
that's,
unfortunately,
the
way
that
things
work
you
in
a
compromise,
I
also
want
to
say,
as
I
have
said
before,
even
though
I
have
I
tend
to
side
with
mr.
Hubbard
and
others
who
have
said
that
we
should
let
the
market
determine
this.
A
This
is
a
compromise.
It's
a
compromise.
I
think
that
I
can
live
with
I.
Don't
particularly
I.
Don't
support
the
this
particular
amendment,
but
I
would
not
lie
or
item
veto
it
even
if
it
passed
five
to
four.
This
is
a
compromise
and
so
I
think
we're
all
at
the
table
saying
we're
not
going
to
get
what
we
want,
but
we're
trying
to
you
did
a
masterful
job
in
trying
to
find
something
that
everybody
at
least
could
live
with.
Even
if
we
don't
like
it,
if
that
makes
sense,
so
yes,
councilmember
Enoch,
I,
agreed.
U
That
document
reflects
a
yeoman's
effort
to
compromise
here.
I
have
decided
I.
It
was
challenging
for
me,
as
council
member
Bolin,
indicated
to
make
this
decision
because
the
input
last
week
we
knew
that
we
were
adding
this
amendment
in
the
spirit
of
equity,
but
what
I
finally
came
back
to
was
realizing
that
the
state
had
already
made
some
determination
that
truck
stops
were
different
from
local
establishments
or
they
wouldn't
have
allowed
a
different
maximum
amount
of
gambling
gambling
video
gaming.
Sorry
to
take
place
so
I'm
not
sure
that
the
the
equity
issue
is
applied.
U
Given
that
there's
already
such
a
distinction
and
councilmember
black
also
pointed
out
that
we
are
asking
truckstops
to
pay
more
per
terminal.
So
what
there's
some
recognition
that
this
is
a
different
beast,
but
I
do
appreciate
all
of
the
effort
and
respect
that
we
might
have
a
different
view
and
just.
A
I
may
have
misspoken
I
I
was
would
notice
what
I
said.
I
was
on
the
side
of
all
in
black.
You
know
in
terms
of
the
amendment.
I
did
I
say
that,
or
did
I
say
the
reverse.
I
did
say
that
okay,
hey
I,
wouldn't
yeah
did
whatever
happens,
happens.
Yeah
doesn't
matter
give
regardless
of
my
personal
preferences
on
a
council
member
at
Boleyn.
We.
O
A
K
A
B
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay.
At
this
point
now
we
move
to
the
main
motion,
which
has
two
changes
and
two
amendments,
one
that
would
reduce
the
fees
for
nonprofits
and
one
that
would
lower
the
number
of
video
gaming
terminals
at
truckstops
to
five,
not
ten,
and
so
that
is
the
main
motion.
As
it
has
amended,
both
amendments
passed,
councilmember,
crevel.
M
What
happens
to
the
applications
that
have
been
submitted
during
the
moratorium
and
logistically
based
on
my
review
of
the
ordinance,
so
there's
two
of
us
coming
in
you
know
to
try
to
get
a
license
and,
and
so
who
determines
who's
there
first
or
second
by
the
second
of
the
minute
it
gets
stamped.
How
is
that
process
going
to
work.
L
N
So
the
the
second
ordinance
will
actually
set
the
date
for
accepting
applications
at
September
15th,
so
that
will
get
staff
time
to
get
the
new
application
forms
created,
get
the
process
and
everything
in
place
in
terms
of
what
do
you,
what
happens
if
you've
got?
You
know
multiple
people
that
are
there
ready
to
file
the
documents,
call
for
it
to
be
on
a
first-come,
first-served
basis.
N
So
it's
it's
going
to
be.
Whoever
is
in
line
when
the
clerk's
office
opens
at
8:00
and
it
might
be
one
of
those
situations
where
similar
to
where
you
file
your
nominating
petitions
with
the
State
Board
of
Elections.
You
know
we
create
a
line,
and
you
know
we,
you
know
number
that,
but
it's
going
to
be
a
first-come,
first-served
basis.
The
applications
all
have
to
be
time,
stamped
they've
stamped
everything
like
that,
and.
B
A
S
A
A
X
Wear
my
sneakers
next
time,
first
of
all,
well
quick
comment
about
closing
up
FY
19
no
exhibits
for
this
evening,
but
we're
still
trending
right
in
that
mid,
two
million
dollar
surplus
range
a
little
under
two
and
a
half
two
point
three
to
two
point:
four.
So
no
major
changes
now
from
audit
but
thought
it's
still
ongoing,
so
we'll
be
finalizing
that
in
the
next
45
days,
but
we're
still
looking
at
a
very
positive
finalization
for
the
year.
X
This
exhibit
it's
going
to
be
very
similar
to
last
month
because
last
month,
I
did
a
snapshot
during
the
middle
of
July.
This
one
is,
as
of
the
end
of
July
what
you
may
notice
right
away,
and
this
is
going
to
be
a
bad
reference
and
he's
spinal
tap
fans,
but
when
Tim
and
I
first
met,
he
asked
me
to
come
up
with
the
you
know:
the
top
ten,
and
basically
we
just
did
those
on
the
annual
budget
size.
But
now
we've
gone
to
11
here,
Scott,
all
right,
we've
added
a
replacement
tax.
X
The
budget
for
the
year
is
1.6
million,
it's
even
with
hotel-motel,
and
it's
trending
very
well.
So
I
asked
him
if
I
could
add
that
to
the
exhibit,
and
he
said
yes,
so
that's
going
to
be
represented
here,
going
forward
replacement
tax
I've
mentioned
this
before
that
was
you
know,
I
think
back
in
the
70s,
when
a
personal
property
tax
was
that
right
was
removed
from
municipalities,
so
the
state
started
imposing
the
tax
on
LLC's
and
corporations
and
they
passed
that
through
to
municipalities.
So
it's
a
form
of
income
tax,
the
payment.
X
The
timing
is
a
little
different
than
our
income
tax
payments
from
the
state
which
we
get
twelve
again
one
every
month
replacement
tax.
We
just
get
eight
so
that
big
blip.
We
saw
at
the
end
of
2019
an
income
tax.
That's
kanaeva
reflected
in
the
first
month
of
the
2020,
so
you
can
see.
Year-To-Date
were
two
hundred.
Seventy
five
thousand
dollars
over
budget
in
replacement
tax
and
compared
to
last
year,
is
152
over
so
I
kind
of
wanted
to
zero.
X
In
on
that,
it's
an
it's
a
new
line
item
for
tonight
and
going
forward
it's
doing
very
well,
as
I
mentioned
last
month,
every
category
right
now
for
the
budget,
except
for
the
two
in
the
middle
of
their
income
tax
and
utility
tax,
our
training
above
budget
for
the
year
prior
year,
utility
tax
is
under
I
mentioned
that
that's
solely
due
to
telecom.
Well,
electric
was
down
a
little
bit,
but
we've
made
we're
going
to
be
making
that
up.
X
Do
the
hot
July
that
just
hasn't
hit
yet
so
I'm,
anticipating
making
up
a
little
great
bit
of
ground
next
month.
Hotel-Motel
were
a
little
under
last
year,
but
we
took
that
budget
down
and
so
year-to-date
we're
doing
fine
right,
they're,
jumping
back
up
to
income
tax,
just
a
little
preview.
On
next
month
we
made
up
that
$56,000
undred.
X
X
You
know
for
the
city,
so
it
makes
this
this
report
a
lot
easier
when
that's
happening
it's
it's
a
little
early
to
you,
know
kind
of
depict
any
trends
with
the
general
fund
statement,
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
seasonality
in
the
general
fund,
with
Parks
and
Rec
in
the
summer,
going
kind
of
going
back
to
some
of
my
original
comments.
When
we
first
started
doing
this
report,
we
show
that
annualized
trend
of
25
percent-
that's
really
just
the
percentage
of
the
year.
That's
been
realized
to
date
through
July,
so
May
June
July.
X
That's
you
know.
Three
months
out
of
the
year,
so
there'd
be
25%.
If
everything
was
just
straight
lined
you'd,
look
across
that
we
could
say,
percent
of
the
budget
used
would
be
25
percent
right
down
the
column.
Well,
it
just
doesn't
work
that
way,
but
it
kind
of
gives
you
some
bearing
you
know
it
gives
us
something
to
discuss
in
comparison.
X
What
I
will
say
is
you
know
salaries
we
put
in
that
large
vacancy
savings
this
year
kind
of
we
were
we're
acknowledging
history,
1.2
million
dollars
in
vacancy
savings
was
put
into
the
budget,
and
you
can
see
that
we're
we're
still
slightly.
You
know,
coming
in
slightly
under
on
salaries.
Benefits
were
slightly
over.
X
X
So
that's
reflective
of
the
additional
charges
that
were
pushing
out
to
the
enterprise
funds,
not
additional
expense
overall
for
the
city,
but
it's
just
it's
just
the
way
the
numbers
are
flowing
now,
we've
got
in
the
general
fund
so
that
the
salaries
and
benefits
you
know,
that's
where
that
department
is
being
reflected,
commodities
and
contractuals.
You
know
for
the
the
amount
of
money
we
spend
on
sending
out
the
bills
etc,
but
then
we're
charging
it
back
out
via
the
transfers
in
it
is
another
kind
of
sidebar.
X
Next
month,
I
wanted
to
talk
to
Tim
I'll,
send
out
a
just
a
description
or
a
little
cheat
sheet
on
what
these
these
lines,
what
are
included
in
those
lines
like
it's,
not
real,
clear
transfer
out
other
expenditures,
other
intergovernmental.
You
know
what
is
included
in
those
line
items
so
I'll
send
you
out
a
cheat
sheet
and
you
can
kind
of
get
a
little
bit
more
understanding
as
what's
catching
it
was
like
other
intergovernmental.
You
know
that's
a
huge
line
item.
Most
of
that
is
due
to
public
safety
pensions.
X
Enterprise
funds
just
going
to
talk
about
revenue.
This
is
typically
what
I
do
for
the
enterprise
funds:
the
trend,
twenty
five
percent.
You
can
see
we're
a
little
under,
and
water
sewer
and
storm.
Excuse
me
Water
and
Sewer.
You
know
that's
consumption
base
for
water
wet
spring
I,
don't
know
if
that
you
know
that
may
have
driven
some
of
those
lower
consumptions
in
water,
solid
waste
training
perfectly
at
25
percent
golf.
It
should
be
higher
in
the
summer
months.
So
it's
a
hedge
of
the
straight-line
trend.
Thirty,
five
percent,
the
arena.
X
You
know
the
venue
side
with
venue
works,
it's
a
slow
time
for
them.
You
know
the
summer
all
the
outdoor
venues
are
kind
of
taking
that
business,
they're
really
getting
ready
to
ramp
up
so
that
that
11
percent
they're
actually
doing
better
than
planned
as
of
right
now.
So
no
concerns
there
at
all
Golf.
You
know:
I
I
put
that
year-over-year
reference
there.
You
can
see
FY
19.
We
were
at
a
million
in
revenue
through
July,
right
881,
so
we'll
keeping
an
eye
on
golf.
X
X
Well,
I,
don't
have
the
asterisks
in
there
yet
or
like
when
we
were
doing
FY
19,
there's
there's
a
lot
of
these
funds
have
budgeted
use
of
fund
balance.
So
when
you
see
a
total
year
today,
gain
or
loss
I
mean
like
with
water,
with
with
the
capital
improvement
projects
that
we
have
planned.
You
know
it's
budgeted
to
lose
money
for
the
year,
so
the
commitments
and
POS
you
know
those
are
the
encumbrances,
so
they
have
an
it
hit.
We
haven't
actually
paid
for
those
projects
or
those
commitments
yet,
but
it's
an
expense.
X
So
that's
in
red,
so
water
year
to
date,
including
encumbrances,
is
that
a
1.8
million
dollar
loss.
But
it's
not
it's
not
a
surprise.
You
know
so
the
the
negatives
on
the
enterprise
funds
I,
don't
want
to
say
they're
meaningless,
but
especially
when
we're
budgeting
capital
projects
and
we
have
a
budgeted
use
of
fund
balance.
I'll
get
those
references
in
for
next
month,
so
that
we'll
get
a
little
bit
more
clarity
on.
If
we
see
a
negative
and
the
total
year
to
gain
gain
loss,
it's
okay,
because
we've
budgeted
that
the.
Y
O
L
You,
mayor
Scott,
there
we
go,
we
have
the
upcoming
events
are
on
the
screens
around
us
and
then
real
quick
going
back
to
the
finance
directors
report.
This
is
something
that
we
started
a
year
ago,
again
quite
a
quite
a
bit
of
community
input
when
I'm
out
and
about
let's
say
that
they
appreciate
the
snapshot.
So
you
know
that
that's
something
as
a
direct
result
of
you
guys
saying
that
you
wanted
I,
think
we
lost
him.
We
lost.
L
Me
got
it
and
it's
just
something
that
I
actually
receive
fair
amount
of
comments.
Very
supportive,
very
appreciative
of
this.
This
was
something
going
back.
A
year
ago,
the
council
made
it
very
clear
you
wanted.
You
know
a
little
deeper
look
into
the
city's
finances
and
we're
actually
you're
into
this
now
so
real
quick.
Those
are
the
events
that
are
upcoming
and
then,
regarding
the
agenda
item
involving
me.
Thank
you
very
much.
L
A
Thank
you
very
much.
A
few
things
I
just
wanted
to
read
the
text.
All
the
woman
Korea
had
to
get
off
said
I'm.
So
sorry
I
have
to
head
back
into
work.
Please
think
the
rest
of
the
council
for
allowing
me
to
participate
in
the
meeting
remotely,
so
that
was
at
7:06
in
terms
of
a
couple
of
other
things.
I
certainly
had
a
great
last
weekend
at
this
past
weekend.
The
weekend
before
in
downtown
with
the
music
fest
I
went
there.
I
was
there
at
one
o'clock,
then
I
had
to
go
to
something
else.
A
I
came
back
at
around
five
o'clock
and
then
it
came
back
at
around
8
o'clock
and
it
was
really
hopping
downtown,
so
that
was
wonderful
used
to
be
called
the
Jazz
Fest,
but
it's
just
a
third
time
that
we've
had
that.
Also
just
to
remind
everybody,
if
you
want
to
march
in
the
Labor
Day
Parade,
we
can
give
candy
out
can't
throw
candy,
but
we
do
it.
This
is
this:
is
the
candy
parade
so
just
FYI?
A
The
other
thing
in
a
bit
of
reversal
I
did
talk
to
the
city
manager
of
at
length
and
I
am
affect.
You
already
have
the
emails
to
this.
I
am
going
to
submit
to
the
council
appointments
to
boards
and
commissions
the
several,
but
that
that
will
essentially
allow
the
technology
committee
to
be
formed,
Transportation
Committee,
to
operate,
and
then
there
were
a
couple
of
other
minor
additions
there.
So
you
should
have
that
in
your
box
fourteen
days
in
advance.
So
at
this
point
other
questions
comments,
alderman
black
and
then
councilmember
Bray
yeah.
T
Thank
you,
so
alderman
sage
would
do
this
in
the
past
and
I
figured
that
that
I'll
just
jump
on
board
and
do
it
now,
don't
presume
to
be
just
like
him,
but
I
like
the
practice.
So
we
did
your
performance
evaluation
this
evening.
We
didn't
talk
about
during
the
consent,
agenda
and
I'm,
certainly
not,
presumably
to
speak
for
council.
So
I'll
just
speak
for
myself
and
just
say.
Thank
you
for
your
hard
work
over
the
last
year.
T
As
someone
who
was
initially
very
skeptical
about
hiring
from
the
outside,
we
really
done
we've
done
a
that
was
a
very
smart
move
on
our
part,
but
it's
also
a
testament
to
your
leadership
and
performance.
You
know
you
look
at
the
trends.
Nationwide.
Fewer
and
fewer
people
are
willing
to
be
involved
in
public
service.
If
you
interfere
people
wanting
to
be
involved,
the
city
manager
level
it's
a
very,
very
difficult
job.
It
takes
a
lot
of
time.
A
V
That
was
completed
and
simply
let
everyone
know
that
the
council
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
in
the
mayor
talking
through
what
was
the
performance
of
our
city
manager
and
we
developed
a
process
to
go
through
that
and
walk
through
that
very
intentionally
and
came
to
consensus
on
this
rating
and
on
the
salary
bump,
as
well
as
additional
benefit
for
time
off,
because
it
was
well
deserved
and
we're
just
really
excited
about
what
your
two
brings
and
I
would
be
remiss
without
thanking
all
my
peers
here
that
we
rolled
up
our
sleeves,
and
we
did
some
good
work
here
in
hiring
this
guy
and
then
now,
with
the
with
the
review
and
and
I'm
hopeful
that
that
will
continue
to
have
that
synergy
as
we
move
forward
into
some
really
exciting
work
and
I
want
to
thank
Jeff
Jergens
for
helping
us
walk
through
that
process,
as
well
as
Scott
took,
took
a
lead.
V
A
Councilmember
mathy
and
then
middle
play
so.
K
Kim
and
Scott
stole
almost
everything.
I
was
going
to
say.
The
one
thing
I
was
going
to
add.
I'll
add
to
that
is
that
when
we
were
looking
at
setting
year
two
goals,
there
was
a
significant
amount
of
synergy
amongst
the
council
of
what
we
all
thought
were.
The
priorities
were
for
the
city,
and
you
know
I
think
that
we
were
all
on
board
of
what
you
did
really
well
and
I
just
thought.
It
was
an
interesting
take
to
to
see
how
much
our
goals
for
the
future
and
all
lined
up
so
I
thought.
K
That
was
a
great
part
that
was
revealed
during
this
process
as
well.
So
like
they
said.
Thank
you
to
him.
The
other
thing
I
just
wanted
to
touch
base
on
really
briefly
is
that
ticket
sales
for
the
new
season
for
the
Center
for
Performing
Arts
opened
up
last
week,
and
if
you
haven't
looked
yet
I
think
there's
22
shows
or
something
like
that
that
are
coming
up,
and
some
of
them
look
really
amazing
and
so
I
just
think.
It's
worth
everybody's
time
to
look
to
see.
We
have
some
incredible
talent.
K
That's
going
to
be
available
like
six
blocks
from
here
that
you
can't
buy
tickets
to
some
of
these
things
because
they
sell
out
in
Chicago.
They
sell
a
lot
in
New
York
and
we
have
the
opportunity
to
visit
them
and
locally.
You
know
one
of
the
ones
I'm
super
excited
about
is
black
violinists
coming
back
again
this
year
for
the
third
visit
and
those
guys
are
simply
amazing.
W
Thank
you
all
the
man
math
he
stole
the
additional
thing.
I
was
going
to
say
about
the
goals,
but
I
I
have
to
say
that
it
was
very
exciting
to
see
how
much
synergy
there
is
amongst
ourselves,
but
also
with
the
city
manager,
so
I'm
very,
very
excited
about
the
goals
that
you're
upset
for
for
yourself
and
and
for
the
city
and
I.
You
know
when
we
set
out
to
to
make
the
decision
to
hire.
W
You
I
thought
at
the
time
that
this
was
the
probably
the
most
important
decision
that
I
would
be
making
as
a
councilmember
and
and
boy
was
I
right.
You
know,
because
I
think
your
performance
has
been
excellent
and
we
are.
We
really
are
looking
forward
to
what
you
know
the
future
brings
for
for
the
city.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
