A
A
Thank
you
very
much.
We're
gonna
go
ahead
and
start
out
with
a
proclamation
and
I
wanted.
We
have
a
proclamation
celebrating
the
life
of
Reverend,
Frank,
McSwain
senior
and
declaring
December
8th
two
days
ago
to
be
Reverend,
Frank,
McSwain,
seniors
and
remembrance
day
yeah.
Are
there
members
his
family?
The
congregation's
would
like
to
come
forward
and
accept
this
award.
Excuse
me
a
proclamation,
please
thank
you
and
come
on
up
to
the
microphone,
especially
if
afterwards
you
want
to
say
anything.
You're
certainly
welcome.
A
Okay,
I
do
want
to
say
that
when
I
first
heard
of
Reverend
mix
Wayans
passing
it
was
certainly
a
shock
sad
moment
many
of
ways,
but
I
also
immediately
then
went
to
talk
to
staff
about
making
it
Frank
McSwain
day
and
I
was
told
that
you
can
and
I
said
what
the
bleep
do.
You
mean
we
can't,
and
that
was
because
there
already
was
a
Frank
McSwain
day
and
that
is
March,
8th
2009,
and
so
what
we
have,
if
you
will
note,
is
a
reverend
frank,
McSwain
senior
remembrance
day.
A
So
that's
how
we
got
through
all
of
the
legalities,
but
if
I
could
go
ahead
and
read
this
as
part
of
a
celebration
of
life
and
the
contribution
to
our
community
generally
and
to
social
justice.
Much
more
broadly
proclaiming
celebration
celebrating
the
life
of
Reverend,
Frank
McSwain
senior
and
declaring
Reverend
Frank
McSwain
senior
remembrance
day.
Whereas
reverend
frank,
McSwain
senior
was
a
Bloomington
resident
who
dedicated
his
life
to
many
important
community
initiatives
in
served.
A
Mount
Pisgah,
Baptist
Church
since
1984,
and
whereas
he
was
instrumental
in
and
not
in
our
town
movement
in
our
community,
the
Bloomington
Normal
chapter
of
the
n-double
a-c-p,
the
family
and
community
Research
Center
used
summer
jobs,
programs,
Westside
development
and
much
much
more.
And
whereas
he
was
a
tremendous
leader
for
social
change
and
social
justice
in
Bloomington.
And
whereas
he
received
several
distinctive
recognitions
over
the
years,
including
the
dr.,
Martin,
Luther,
King,
jr.
award,
cultural
fest
award,
Merlin
Kennedy
Community,
Service
Award
and
the
n-double-a-cp
Lifetime
Achievement
Award.
A
And
whereas
his
giving
and
compassionate
nature
transformed
many
lives
and
whereas
Reverend
McSwain
passed
away
from
this
world
on
Thursday
November
29th.
And
whereas
the
community
wishes
to
celebrate
a
life
lived
so
generously.
Therefore,
I
Terry
runner,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bloomington,
to
hereby
proclaim
Saturday
December,
8th
2018
as
Reverend
Frank,
McSwain
senior
remembrance
day
and
I've
got
extra
copies.
D
Just
would
like
to
say
thank
you
on
behalf
of
our
family,
to
you
all
into
this
community,
daddy
loved
bloomington-normal
with
all
of
his
heart,
and
there
are
many
times
I'd
be
in
the
car
right
down
the
street.
There
be
people
walking
down
the
street
like
that's
my
friend
this
and
that's
my
friend
and
I'm
like
okay,
but
he
truly
loved
this
community
and
I
knew
it
because
he
would
sacrifice
time
with
us
to
be
in
it
and
I
know
we
were.
You
know
his
top
priority.
D
So
while
it
hurts
my
heart
that
he's
no
longer
here,
it's
just
beautiful
to
see
the
impact
that
he's
had
on
so
many
life
and
outpouring
of
love
and
support
from
not
just
this
community
but
our
church,
my
pizza,
but
we
we
are
truly
honored
to
be
his
family
members
and
to
be
here
to
celebrate
with
you
guys,
and
we
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
One
thing
I
can
say
that
I
believe
I
mean
everyone
would
kind
of
recognize
and
acknowledge
about
what
we
need
in
this
world
is
love
and
peace,
but
the
love
comes
naturally,
love.
Isn't
it
should
be
natural?
That's
what
we
do.
We
live
to
love.
We
forget
that,
because
of
different
aspects
of
life
and
but
love
is
love,
is
something
that's
so
pure
that
it
should
not
have
to
be
a
struggle
to
do
it.
E
Peace,
it's
what
is
needed,
because
when
you
have
peace,
you
learn
love.
When
you
have
love,
you
want
peace,
it's
almost
like
yin
yang.
You
know
how
that
works,
but
what
I
want
everyone
to
leave
here
with
and
to
continue
to
live
with
it's
peace,
peace,
there's,
a
piece
about
this
whole
situation
he's
gone
physically,
but
peace,
peace.
E
Whatever
you
have
going
on,
I
I
I
speak
peace
into
everyone's
life
and
heart
to
this
community.
I
speak
peace
to
this
world,
I
speak
peace
to
what
I
don't
see.
What
I
don't
know:
I
speak
peace,
because
that's
what
we
need
love
is
not
there.
Love
is
man,
it
should
be
natural.
There's
a
lot
of
love
that
you
can
give
agape.
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
different
forms
of
love,
but
peace
is
what
is
needed.
Peace
of
mind,
peace
of
heart,
peace
of
spirit,
peace.
E
E
E
Piece
and
I
believe
that
every
heart
in
here
can
say
that
there's
a
piece
about
you
that
you
can't
understand
it,
I
I
I
I'm
going
to
speak
it
into
everyone's
life,
I'm,
going
to
speak
it
into
the
world
piece
because
that's
what's
needed,
the
love
should
have
been
my
my
father.
Wasn't
teaching
us
love
that
he
wasn't
doing
that
everybody
has
a
heart.
My
father
was
not
the
last
person
to
leave
here
who
was
so
impactful.
Who
was
that?
No?
No?
No!
No!
No!
No!
E
E
A
A
We
had
a
mayor's
open
house
in
the
mayor's
open
house.
You
can
come
in
every
Friday
before
City
Council
meeting
from
4:30
to
5:30
and
get
answers
to
your
questions.
You
can
talk
with
your
neighbors
about
certain
kinds
of
issues,
maybe
get
answers
or
problem-solve
on
the
spot,
and
so
I
certainly
welcome
you
to
that.
When
it
comes
to
the
public
comment
portion
of
our
business
meeting,
our
policy
is
to
not
respond
regardless
of
the
comment.
So
at
this
point
we
have
three
people
who
have
filled
out
public
comments.
A
F
F
If
they
have
to
raise
the
inlets
fine,
do
them
then
do
the
street?
Do
it
at
one
once
and
don't
do
it
three
or
four
times,
and
then
the
city
wonders
why
say
they're
running
out
of
revenue?
I,
don't
the
thing
with,
and
this
happened.
Friday
was
my
a
garbage
day.
They
somebody
just
reached
in
there
and
grabbed
it
went
out
to
get
the
can
and
there's
still
garbage
in
it.
So
they
stripped
Jim
send
the
truck
out
on
Saturday,
which
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
F
I
can't
do
it
the
first
time,
even
with
the
automated
trucks.
I
can't
do
it
and
the
tax
in
this
city
keep
going
up
and
the
services
keep
going
down.
Now
there
are
people
that
are
just
leaving
the
city
again,
I,
wonder
how
many
more
people
are
gonna
leave
the
city
there
they
go
out
of
the
state.
There
goes
the
state
revenue.
There
goes,
the
city's
revenue
in
the
city
can't
control
their
spending.
I
would
suggest
they
start
learning
to
live
within
their
means.
F
What
happens
in
your
private
households,
when
your
expenses
exceed
revenue
you're
in
deep
trouble
right?
What
happened
in
the
city's
case?
They
just
raise
taxes,
and
then
you
wonder
why
people
are
getting
fed
up
and
leaving
the
city
right
there.
The
other
issue
is
the
potholes
in
this
town
and
I
know,
there's
a
pothole
line
and
they're
all
over
the
city.
F
You
know
the
thing
is:
we've
got
when
they
said
they
were
gonna
raise
the
gas
tax.
It
was
gonna
solve
the
problem.
It
didn't.
You
just
read
distributed
the
money.
You
wanted.
The
leaves
right
to
the
curb
we
had.
They
were
right
to
the
curb
and
we
had
a
big,
strong
wind
and
it
came
and
redistributed.
And
then
then
you
wonder
why
people
are
upset
right
there.
Let
Tim
Gleason
get
out
and
do
it
himself
if
they
have
to
have
help.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
G
G
G
The
most
recent
was
about
a
week
ago
and
all
have
been
out
of
town
outfits
that
I
know
nothing
about,
and,
since
my
property
might
in
insurance
terms,
be
considered
one
with
a
pre-existing
condition.
I
would
suggest
that
it's
difficult
to
imagine
that
any
company
really
wants
to
insure
my
property
at
all,
and
I
would
also
suggest
that
maybe
there's
it's
not
gonna
they're
not
going
to.
They
don't
want
to
do
it,
so
we
I
think
we
need
to
know
what
all
this
means.
G
I,
don't
understand
why
the
city
would
be
getting
into
the
insurance
business
in
the
first
place,
I
mean
they're
supposed
to
be
making
money,
I
think,
but
I
think
the
public
first
needs
to
be
clearly
informed
about
the
current
policy
regarding
responsibility
for
water
and
sewer
lines.
Just
exactly
what's
paid
for
and,
for
example,
are
the
lines
under
the
street
and
the
parkway,
the
responsibility
of
the
city
or
the
homeowner,
the
street
and
the
Parkway.
G
Also
when
there's
flooding
in
our
streets
and
the
water
backs
up
into
our
basements
who's
responsible
for
the
damage.
This
is
more
important
in
this
in
the
Central
City,
because
we
have
combination,
storm
sewers,
we're
combination,
so
it's
different
there
and
that's
important.
It's
an
important.
These
I
believe
are
the
properties
that
are
being
targeted
with
this
insurance.
G
The
question
will
become
more
important,
as
the
city
pursues
more
redevelopment
in
the
city
in
the
Central
City,
in
the
addition
of
more
paved
land
will
certainly
affect
the
amount
of
runoff
that
we
have,
which
in
turn
is
going
to
affect
the
flooding
in
our
properties,
so
I
I
really
feel
as
though
this
is
a
cart
before
the
horse
situation.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
H
The
track
record
so
far
is
very
good.
Obviously,
there
are
problems.
There
are
concerns.
You
know
some
of
them
in
this
community
when
the
question
is
raised
about
tiny
houses,
but
the
track
record
is
very
good
in
these
communities
of
maybe
five
to
six
such
homeless
people
are
doing
a
great
job
of
keeping
their
own
rules,
keeping
out
alcohol
and
illegal
drugs
showing
pride
in
the
property
and
moving
out
from
transitional
to
permanent
housing
and
new
jobs.
H
A
I
A
A
I
So
this
is
the
water
leak
protection
and
the
waterline
and
sewer
lateral
protection
insurance
we've
had
to
public
conversations
about
this.
I
know
that
the
company
has
come
back
and
answered
a
number
of
questions
and
that's
been
valuable,
as
we've
grown
closer
to
tonight.
To
voting
on
this
I
began
getting
more
and
more
inquiries
about
exactly
what
this
was
all
about,
which
encouraged
me
then
to
reach
out
and
ask
for
more
input
and
I
think
that
there
are
still
some
misunderstanding
and
some
questions
that
need
to
be
answered.
I
L
Think
we
could
do
it
by
making
a
motion
to
amend,
to
simply
authorize
the
city
manager
to
engage
with
Sunbelt
insurance
for
water
leak,
protection
and
and
deleting
references
in
the
ordinance
and
in
the
policy
to
private
water
line,
protection
and
private
or
lateral
protection.
Having
said
that,
I
am
not
aware
of
because
of
Sao
Paolo
mentor,
Parliament
airily.
We
can
do
that
I'm,
not
aware
if
that
affects
what
our
position
is
with
respect
to
Sun
Belt
in
terms
of
negotiations.
I'd
leave
that
to
mr.
carte.
L
A
A
A
M
The
leak
protection
insurance
is
the
foundation
for
the
discussion,
so
that's
that's
the
that
that
is
the
it's
not.
That
is
not
something
that
they
offer
as
an
opt-in.
That's
only
an
opt-out
with
the
benefit
that
again
for
that
first
year,
somebody
has
the
ability,
within
that
first
year
of
the
program
we'd
be
looking
at
the
council
that
approve
it
soon,
we'd
be
looking
at
may
1st
of
2019
between
then
and
May
1st
of
2020.
M
If
somebody
said
I
didn't
see
it
I'd
like
to
opt
out,
they
could
get
up
to
12
months
of
that
money
given
back
to
them
for
their
leak
insurance.
What
we
so
that
the
other,
though,
is
an
opt-in
for
sewer,
lateral
and
water.
Nobody
is
only
they
would
choose
it
only
if
they
wanted
to.
We
showed
a
lot
of
research
which
provided
a
lot
of
other
insurance.
Companies
vary
on
what
level
and
what
they
offer.
Some
people
do.
M
A
I
A
I
A
I
A
A
There
a
second
to
all
the
woman
from
its
motion.
Oh
yes,
well,
let's
see
if
we
have
a
second
second,
but
we
got
a
couple
seconds
there
of
all
the
men
stages
the
one
that
I
heard,
even
though
I
saw
all
the
woman
break
starting.
Yes,
you
want
to
address
it
now
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second,
so
it's
relevant
what.
L
I
was
describing
was
a
little
bit
different.
Okay
was
saying.
I
was
saying
that
you
could
consider
a
motion
to
amend,
to
authorize,
to,
to
amend
this
item,
to
authorize
the
city
manager,
to
engage
in
the
water
leak
protection
and
to
omit
from
the
ordinance
references,
the
authorization
for
privates
or
lateral
protection
and
residential
and
sort
I'm,
sorry
and
the
privates
or
protection.
So
you
could
take
a
motion
to
amend
the
item.
L
I
C
A
We
have
a
separate
vote
on
this
on
that
George
I
mean,
in
other
words,
if
we
accept
all
the
woman
Schmidt's
motion
that
was
seconded
by
alderman
sage
right
and
let's
say
that
what
or
does
it
doesn't
pass
can't.
We
then
have
a
second,
because
it's
on
the
agenda
second
vote
on
the
489
44
per
month,
etc.
The
other
portion
of
the
ordinance
it's
on
the
agenda
just
to.
A
The
motion
that
was
made
is
to
approve
what
is
presented
in
front
of
us,
except
for
the
the
opt-out.
Give
me
the
opt-in
portion
of
the
motion
so
that,
except
for
484
per
month
and
660
per
month,
all
the
woman
sage
excuse
me
all
the
woman's.
All
the
men,
Schmidt
seconded
by
alderman
sage
approved
that
piece
of
what
is
to
be
presented
in
front
of
us.
L
N
Actually,
my
question
is
for
Jim
when
you
said
that
the
the
the
water
leak
protection
was
foundational.
That
wording
suggests
to
me
that
no,
they
would
not
consider
these
if
we
could.
The
serve
line
would
not
consider
them
separately.
So
I
guess
to
Karen's
question
is
in
a
hypothetical
situation.
The
council
did
not
want
to
do
the
water
leak
protection.
Could
we
still
do
that's
exactly
what
I
thought
you
know.
M
No
foundational
means
that
you,
if
you
vote
for
the
leak
protection,
let's
say
you
say:
no,
we
don't
want
the
leak
protection.
Then
you
don't
have
an
option
to
do
the
opt
in
sewer,
lateral
and
water
line
protection.
If
you
did
the
leak
protection,
you
don't
have
to
do
the
other
I'm,
not
sure
why
you
would,
because
then
people
have
the
choice
to
whether
they
would
choose
to,
but
you
could
choose
to
not
offer
that
as
an
option.
So
so
that's
that's
the
the
choices.
Yes,
okay.
So.
A
A
O
Always
get
worried
when
I
see
the
mental
gymnastics
on
the
floor.
I
am
wondering:
if
is
there,
could
we
wait
until
next
Monday
and
just
kind
of
make
sure
that
we
are
all
on
the
right
track
or
how
time-sensitive
is
this
because
I'm
just
seeing
us
going
back
and
forth
back
and
forth
and
people
clarifying
Andry
clarifying
and
that
worries
me
I
think.
K
What
I
would
offer
is,
if
there's
cleanup,
to
bring
these
as
two
separate
agenda
items
we
can
do
that
on
the
17th.
It
was
my
understanding
that
really
none
of
the
questions
or
concerns
from
the
community
or
anything
that
has
not
been
covered
in
the
two
previous
presentations,
but
there
might
be
value
tonight
to
walk
through
this,
yet
one
more
time.
So
really
the
decision
falls
back
to
you
guys.
K
If,
if
you
want
this
cleaned
up
to
bring
separately
at
the
next
meeting,
we
can
do
that
if
there's
a
way
for
us
communicate
again,
basically
the
same
information
as
in
the
past.
We
can
do
that
as
well,
if
there's
a
decision
or
somewhat
of
a
consensus
out
of
council,
and
we
think
that
the
insurance
portion
of
what
is
being
discussed
or
has
been
discussed
and
what's
before,
council
tonight,
that
there's
not
a
lot
of
interest
in
that
I
just
do
not
even
bring
it
before
council.
If
it's
going
to
get
voted
down,
we.
A
Do
have
the
first
motion
and
then
that
that
can
perhaps
give
some
sort
of
indication,
but
I
do
if
I
get
asked
all
in
the
wrong
way.
I'm
not
sure.
What's
not
clear,
you
can
opt
in
or
you
can
opt
out.
I
mean
we've
been
talking
about
this.
As
you
say,
I
don't
know
what
giving
another
week
would
hold,
but.
O
A
Q
Q
What
our,
what
our
potential
vote
is.
That
was
terribly
worried
that
we'll
have
to
vote
so
basically,
they'll
be
the
first
motion
to
bifurcate
it
or
they'll
be
the
first
vote
to
bifurcate
it
then,
after
that
I
was
him
assume.
There's
a
second
motion
to
approve
the
first
portion
of
the
bifurcated
motion
that
what
you're,
foreseeing
cuz
I
just
wanna,
make
sure
I'm
I.
I
C
A
Q
Confused
about
what
we're
voting
on
over
the
overall
big
picture,
I'm
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
the
motion,
because
I
would
be
my
preference
to
vote
on
the
mass
presented.
So
if
this
were
simply
to
change
how
we're
voting
I
might
be
more
likely
to
No.
However,
I
support
both
proposals,
so
I
don't
want
to
accidentally
voters.
A
R
R
I
will
tell
you
one
thing
that
hasn't
been
talked
about
the
two
previous
conversations
and
it
was
conversation
that
I
had
with
Jim
after
the
last
public
conversation
was
that
and
I
recalled
that
about
five
or
six
years
ago
staff
came
to
the
council
and
wanted
to
develop
a
policy
now
in
terms
of
who
was
going
to
be
responsible
for
the
sewer,
lateral
and
the
water.
You
know
the
water
laterals.
R
M
So
I've
been
a
public
works
director
for
ten
years
over
the
10-year
period.
The
intent
of
the
code
is
clear.
It
says
that
the
the
sewer
lateral
line
up
to
and
including
the
tee
is
the
private
property
owner
the
practice
that
I,
whenever
I
started
with
the
two
city
managers
ago.
It
was
that
when
there
were
instances
that
caused
the
safety
of
citizens
such
that
the
walking
public
or
the
driving
public
had
any
sort
of
concern
with
impact,
the
city
would
go
in
and
try
to
repair
that
line.
Well.
M
That
to
me
is
that
was
I
wanted
to
make
sure
we
were
clear
if
the
the
city
code
and
the
practice,
hence
we've
provided
some
trying
to
let's,
let's
clean
that
language
up
and
to
make
sure
we
were
clear.
So
yes,
that
that
was
the
past
conversation
that
we
had
had,
and
so
hopefully
that
makes
it
sense.
So.
R
R
This
with
is
that
you're
asking
residents
to
be
responsible
for
water
and
sewer
lines
underground
that
they
have
no
control
over
whether
it's
working
the
street,
whether
it's
work
in
the
Parkway,
they
have
no
control
over
how
that
work
is
done,
whether
their
water
lines
and
sewer
lines
are
properly.
You
know,
guard
it
and
protect
it
that
there's
not
some.
You
know
incidental
negligence
by
people
doing
that
work.
So
so,
when
we
we
are
in
effect
and
I.
M
To
be
clear
tonight
as
a
staff,
we're
not
suggesting
a
change
in
or
have
we
said
that
in
in
a
packet,
a
change
in
our
current
practice
or
the
city
code.
This
is
a
voluntary
opt-in
program
for
people
to
to
be
able
to
address
their
private
laterals.
So
so
no
tonight
is
not
a
night
where
we're
suggesting
a
change
in
that
or
clearing
it
up
or
anything
of
that
nature.
Oh,
so,
if.
M
The
criteria
that
I
just
got
done
saying
we
have
a
lot
of
times
where
people
are
responsible
for
their
sewer
lateral.
There
are
many
times
when
they
are
by
code
responsible
for
their
sewer,
lateral
again.
The
practice
of
what
we
have
done
is
that
if
it
impacts
the
traveling
driving
public
or
the
walking
public
on
the
street
of
the
sidewalk,
that's
where
our
staff
has
gone
in
to
make
those
repairs.
Originally
it
was
being
done
to
protect
our
citizens
and
the
safety
of
our
citizens
for
people
who
didn't
fix
necessarily
their
sewer
lines.
R
So
where
does
this
word
is
to
practice
that
the
city
applies?
Where
does
that
happen?
What
is
that?
What
is
the
area
between
the
main
and
and
someplace
else?
Where
then,
the
city
says
our
practice
is
not
to
fix
it
from
past.
This
point:
is
it
you
know,
under
on
the
other
side
of
the
sidewalk
anywhere.
M
M
But
the
laterals
have
to
get
to
the
mains,
and
so,
if
the
sewer
main
is
on
the
far
side
of
the
street,
that
I
think
is
what
you're
suggesting
so
it
within
the
right-of-way
that
the
city
controls
it
is
anywhere
within
that
right
away.
Still,
the
lateral
is
for
the
intent
and
purpose
of
the
people
who
use
it.
So
it's
kind
of
like
a
driveway.
Your
driveway
is
your
responsibility
and
the
same
way
your
sewer
lateral
is
there
to
serve
your
house
and
your
house
alone.
It
is
your
responsibility.
I.
R
Must
have
a
sewer
block
here
of
some
kind,
because
I
am
not
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
understanding
this.
If
are
you
telling
me
that
I'm
accountable,
you
know,
this
is
because
I
urge
me
to
talk
so
theoretical
about
this.
If,
if
a
contractor
does
work
in
the
street
and
damages
my
water
line,
am
I
up?
Am
I
accountable
to
have
that
fixed
and.
M
M
M
M
R
Been
our
so
so
so,
even
though
it
goes
under
the
sidewalk
city,
property,
the
parkway
city,
property,
the
street
city
property,
if
they're
sections
of
that
lateral
before
it
gets
to
the
main
I
am
responsible
for
fixing
those.
Yes,
that's
what
the
policy
says,
but
that's
not
been
our
practice.
So
the
city
code
says
that's
what
the
city
code
says,
but
that's
not
been
our
practice.
Okay,
our.
M
A
I
Want
to
speak
directly
to
the
water
leak
policy,
the
opt-out,
one
for
a
dollar
five,
and
we,
when
we
talk
about
the
water
leak
protection
policy,
we're
talking
about
from
the
water
main
into
your
house.
This
is
the
leaky
toilets.
The
you
know
dripping
faucets
that
you
ignore,
or
all
those
kinds
of
things
and
I
I
have
to
say
that
I
was
kind
of
surprised
at
the
responses
that
I
got
people
were
either
passionately
like.
This
is
a
fabulous
idea
because,
like
Jamie
they've
had
these
spikes
in
their
water-
or
this
is
a
terrible
idea.
I
Why
are
you
forcing
us
to
take
this
insurance
and,
as
as
I've
worked
through
it
logically
I
want
to
support
this,
because
if
we
don't
have
the
leak
protection,
then
all
the
people
who
are
so
enthusiastic
will
never
have
that
opportunity,
which
then
leads
me
to
what
can
we
do
as
a
city
and
I
don't
want
to
hammer
this
out
tonight?
But
what
can
we
do
as
a
city
to
make
it
crystal
clear
to
people
and
their
water
bills?
However,
we
do
it,
you
know
for
several
months
that
hey
you
don't
want.
I
You
don't
have
to
pay
this
dollar
five.
If
you
don't
want
to
I,
think
there's
a
sense
that
people
are
going
to
just
not
look
at
their
water
bill
city
services,
bill,
see
the
dollar
five
and-
and
you
know
not
even
necessarily
pay
attention
to
it.
So,
whatever
we
can
do
in
terms
of
public
relations
and
education
about
what
this
is
and
and
how
it's
set
up,
so
that,
if
somebody
has
a
water
spike,
they're
dealing,
the
the
city
is
dealing
with
serve
wine
directly.
I
mean
I.
I
I
A
I
I
M
I
Whatever
we
can
do
in
our
in
our
bills
and
and
the
other
part
of
that
is
making
it
very
clear
to
people
how
we
can
how
they
can
look
at
their
water
usage
so
that
they
can
see
the
kind
of
graphs
like
that
Jamie
showed
and
shared
with
us.
The
other.
The
other
day
of
you
know
that
water
spike
that
you
don't,
maybe
that
that
visual
is
a
powerful
one.
It's
a
little
hard
to
find
on
our
website
from.
M
A
communications
manager
standpoint
nor
dooku-
it's
already
has
been
signed.
This
he's
already,
you
know
she's.
On
top
of
this,
she
is
she'll
hit
a
home
run
with
it.
She's
already
been
working
with
our
team
to
be
able
to
get
ready
to
be
able
to
address
that.
So
we
definitely
see
that
as
a
win.
That's
what
she'll
do
she'll
do
a
great
job
of
it
and
so
I
think
that
will
hopefully
address
that
concern.
A
A
That
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
needs
to
announce,
madam
clerk.
Okay.
Now
we
have
the
other
portion
of
this
that
we
could
act
on
or
not
either
positively
or
negatively,
and
that
is
the
opt-in.
So
if
you
want
anybody
who
wanted
this,
it's
definitely
not
forced,
because
you
have
to
make
the
phone
call
the
service
line.
Is
that
correct
mr.
karge?
Okay,
so
is
there
a
motion
either?
Yes
or
no
for
the
484
and
660
per
month.
A
Q
Briefly,
I've
heard
a
lot
for
my
residents
in
my
ward
about
this
particular
portion
of
it
their
support
for
both,
but
in
this
one
there's
broad
support
for
it
because
it
brings
another
option
to
residents
because
residents,
especially
in
older
neighborhoods,
are
aware
of
their
potential
liability.
I
know
been
different
ways
that
the
code
has
been
interpreted
over
the
year
when
it
comes
to
that
public
right-of-way
portion,
but
no
matter
what
everyone
is
still
responsible,
if
they've
a
failure
under
their
own
property-
and
so
this
just
it
provides
another
option.
Residents
want
it.
Q
The
only
thing
I
would
just
say
again,
which
I
said
last
time
is
I.
Think
during
our
education
program.
Assuming
this
passes,
we
need
to
make
it
clear
that
this
is
not
people's
only
option,
but
that
we're
just
bringing
it
just
bringing
another
option
to
our
residents
and
that
they
should
vigorously
explore
what
their
best
option
is
and.
R
S
A
A
If
I
could
ask
mr.
Carson
and
I
will
get
to
all
the
woman
Brae,
just
one
a
quick
question,
if
you
know
the
the
few
times,
I've
had
conversations-
and
it's
actually
been
several
years
because
we
did
have
an
older
woman
years
ago-
suggest
that
we
take
ownership
over
all
of
the
water
mains
and
I
did
ask
other
I
could
not
find
a
mayor
who
had
a
city
again
needs
to
be
Metro
mater's,
but
you
know
who
had
a
city
where
they
covered.
Everything
is
that
your.
M
Experience
our
experience
in
Illinois
is
that
within
the
right-of-way
it's
almost
always
people's
sponsibility
and
in
the
sewer
master
plan
we
actually
had
them
look
at
that
and
it
was
an
eighty
million
dollar
liability.
If
the
city
said,
we
want
to
take
all
of
that,
the
city
that
the
city
code
currently
frees
us
up
from-
and
so
that
was
a
that-
was
a
big
concern
from
staffs
perspective.
When
we
looked
at
that
from
a
liability
perspective,
so
we'd
actually
done
extensive
research
into
other
communities.
What
are
the
general
practices?
What
are
the
different
options?
T
A
B
A
U
A
U
U
Just
throwing
that
out
there
as
a
suggestion.
Perhaps
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
regular
inspector,
maybe
there's
another
classification
if
it's
too
expensive
for
the
city
to
employ
a
lot
of
more
people.
But
it
does
seem
that
a
lot
of
the
problems
that
violations
had
been
around
for
a
very
long
time
and
I
know
it's.
The
people
who
are
doing
the
job
are
working
really
hard
and
it's
hard
for
them
to
get
around
to
everything.
U
So
that
was
one
thing
I
wanted
to
suggest,
because
a
lot
of
low
income
and
middle
income
people
are
impacted
by
the
lack
of
let's
say
care
on
the
part
of
the
people
who
own
the
buildings
and
I
think
that
would
be
good.
Another
thing
I
thought
about
would
be,
and
this
comes
up
when
I
thought
about
how
the
district
87
is
contributing
some
money
to
the
move
of
playground,
equipment
from
the
west
side
of
O'neil
Park
to
an
area
closer
to
share
it
in
school.
U
But
that
was
a
very
positive
move
and
it's
a
nice
way
to
have
differ.
Government
entities
contributing
something
I
hope.
That's
safe
I
worry
about
the
kids
having
to
cross
the
street
there,
but
then
it
brought
up
it
to
mind.
For
me,
the
need
for
more
parks
with
playgrounds
and
I
live
close
to
White
Oak
Lake,
where
there
is
a
playground
in
the
South
section
and
has
been
for
about
15
or
20
years.
U
But
when
I
first
moved
there
about
28
years
ago,
we
had
a
very
nice
playground
on
the
north
side
of
the
park
as
well.
There
are
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
children
who
lived
near
the
park
and
they
took
away
the
playground
about
20
years
ago
and
when
I
called
to
complain
about
that,
I
was
told
that
there
were
complaints
from
the
people
in
the
condos
nearby
or
whatever.
It
wasn't,
even
a
big
playground.
U
But
now
that
I
have
grandchildren
who
come
to
visit
me,
it's
a
long
trip
to
get
to
the
South
section
and
a
lot
of
people
can
only
access
the
southern
playground
in
White
Oak
Lake
at
White,
Oak
Park
by
driving
there
and
I
think
it
would
be
nice
to
make
it
more
walkable.
It's
an
opportunity
for
people
from
the
area
to
the
north.
V
All
right,
I
saw
this
on
a
story
on
wdl
tea
and
I
thought.
This
would
be
very
fruitful
for
both
Bloomington
and
normal
ty
County
to
work
together
kind
of
develop
this.
This
action
plan
a
kind
of
transition
people
who
are
currently
renting
in
poorer
communities
inside
our
our
twin
cities
to
homeowners.
V
A
You,
okay,
anyone
else:
funds,
CDBG,
I'm
gonna,
go
ahead
and
declare
the
public
hearing
closed.
We
move
on
then
to
our
regular
agenda
and
our
first
item
under
a
regular
agenda
is
consideration
of
a
resolution
adopting
a
revised
public.
Excuse
me:
citizen
participation,
plan
containing
policies
and
procedures
for
public
involvement
and
stakeholder
consultation
in
the
consolidated
plan
process
in
the
use
of
Community
Development
Block
Grant
CDBG
funds.
A
K
Correct,
actually
we
have
staff
jennifer
tony,
is
our
grants
administrator
with
the
city
and
the
Community
Development
Department
and
she's
got
a
brief
presentation
that
Jennifer,
if
you
would
step
to
the
mic,
but
the
work
that
we're
doing
now
in
the
public
hearing
that
we
just
did
here
is
in
preparation
for
our
next
five-year
plan
that
won't
be
effective
until
2020,
but
with
HUD.
We've
got
some
work
to
do
to
be
prepared
for
that
day.
Jennifer.
X
The
citizen
participation
plan
is
not
the
plan
of
how
we're
going
to
spend
our
money
and
I
appreciate
the
time
of
the
folks
that
came
out
tonight
to
kind
of
start
the
ball,
the
ball
rolling
on
that,
but
we're
not
quite
there.
Yet.
This
plan
is
the
plan
that
tells
us
how
we
have
to
plan
for
the
plan.
Tennis
yeah.
Yes,
so
there's
a
reason
why
there's
confusion
out
there,
but
essentially
what
this
does
is
it's
a
policy?
X
Looking
at
what
the
community
feels
that
they
need
so
there's
some
changes
that
are
necessary
right
now.
First
of
all,
the
plan
that
we
have
in
place
we're
required
by
law
to
have
one,
so
we
have
one,
but
the
current
plan
is
from
2012.
So
it's
always
nice
to
take
a
look
at
it
every
once
in
a
while
to
make
sure
that
it's
still
in
compliance
with
the
regulations,
so
that's
one
reason
why
we
want
to
update
it
now.
The
second
reason
is
that
we
will
begin
planning
for
the
2020
consolidated
plan
early
in
2019.
X
X
There's
not
a
ton
of
changes
in
the
actual
content.
We
reviewed
it
with
the
help
of
the
McLean
County
Regional
Planning
Commission,
and
it's
we're
still
in
compliance,
but
the
biggest
thing.
There's
two
big
things
that
I
want
to
point
out.
First
of
all
is
the
way
that
it
looks
if
you
notice
in
the
packet
it's
actually
a
document
now
that
you
might
want
to
pick
up
and
read,
and
that's
all
on
behalf
of
McLean
County
Regional,
Planning
Commission,
so
kudos
to
those.
X
So
we've
taken
a
very
boring
word
document
that
even
I
don't
like
to
read
and
made
it
something.
That's
that's
engaging.
So
that's
the
one
of
the
things,
but
the
most
important
thing.
That
is
the
change
that
this
is
we're
proposing
a
joint
plan
between
the
city
and
the
town
of
normal.
So
our
comprehensive
plan
supports
it
through
the
goal:
h1
dot,
one
eye,
creating
a
regional
housing
plan
to
address
housing
issues
in
bloomington-normal
in
McLean
County,
so
we've
already
kind
of
started
that
process
in
our
department.
X
So,
since
the
town
in
the
city
are
already
partnering
on
that
project,
it
just
made
sense,
since
both
of
our
consolidated
plans
have
a
housing
component
in
it
that
we
would
have
a
joint
document
on
how
we're
going
to
engage
our
risk.
Our
residents
there
will
be
portions
of
the
plan
of
the
consolidated
plan
that
will
be
combined,
so
we
will
have
public
meetings,
public
hearings,
neighborhood
outreach
focus
groups,
we'll
do
surveys
and
the
pieces
that
make
sense
for
us
to
do
as
do
jointly.
X
We
will
cuts
down
on
a
lot
of
work
and
hopefully
we'll
get
us
some
more
meaningful
information.
There
will
be
pieces
that
will
be
individualized
for
our
community.
Obviously,
we
aren't
necessarily
going
to
invite
residents
to
a
neighborhood
meeting
that
we
have
in
West
Bloomington,
because
you
know-
and
they
are
not
really
going
to
have
a
lot
of
input,
and
nor
would
I
expect
that
we
would
want
our
residents.
X
So
this
this
plan
will
help
allow
that,
as
an
entitlement
community,
each
community
will
continue
to
submit
their
own
Kassala
consolidated
plan
to
HUD
will
have
some
goals
that
are
community
based,
very
specific
to
Bloomington,
but
there
are
going
to
be
some
areas
of
it
that
will
overlap
and
that'll
be
combined.
So
we
don't
know
a
hundred
percent
wants
us
to
look
like
it
until
we
get
into
it
and
we
get
the
template
for
the
next
plan.
X
T
A
A
X
C
A
N
I
thought
it
was
a
good
discussion
on
the
idea
that
we
don't
know
if
participation
is
because
everybody's
happy-
or
we
don't
know
if
participation
is
low,
because
people
don't
know
we're
doing
this,
and
so
the
idea
that
we're
revamping
it
trying
to
get
more
people
to
weigh
in
on
what's
important,
I
thought
that
was
really
good
conversation
on
the
radio.
So
thank.
A
K
Actually,
just
a
couple
of
items
and
then
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you
mayor
Scott.
Do
we
have
a
schedule
of
events
for
the
upcoming
week
and,
in
the
meantime,
leaf
collection
update?
It's
my
understanding
from
public
works
director
karch
that
we
have
made
one
entire
pass
of
the
city
and
we're
beginning
our
second
pass
here.
If
we've
not
done
it
already,
it's
coming
very
soon,
there's
an
also
regarding
leaf
collection.
K
The
update
the
map
will
be
updated
tomorrow,
so
I
want
to
share
that
with
community,
also
one
this
year
that
as
a
practice
for
council
meetings,
when
we
have
new
board
members
appointments
stuff
like
that
for
committees
or
boards
of
the
city,
those
will
be
done
at
a
meeting
and
then
the
second
meeting
or
the
meeting
after.
Under
the
mayor's
comments,
those
individuals
will
be
invited
but
do
not
have
to
attend
a
meeting,
but
something
very
similar
to
the
events.
K
A
Of
all
I
want
to
thank
all
the
woman
Schmidt
for
handling
the
mayor's
open
house
and
also
I
gathered
the
tree
lighting
ceremony
as
well.
I
was
I
was
another
100
percent
sure
it
was
like
about
five
thirty
one.
When
I
was
coming
back
into
town,
I
was
doing
a
taped
television
show
with
Chris
Koos
and
Public
Television
in
Peoria
and
I
thought.
A
Okay,
would
it
be
look
rude
if
I
came
in
a
little
late
or
did
ya
didn't
come
in
at
all,
so
I
had
to
make
one
of
those
calls,
but
thank
you
so
much
and
I
do
want
to
get
called
special
attention
to
our
distinguished
city
manager
who-
and
we
want
to
congratulate
him
because
he
has
just
been
named-
the
chairman
of
the
Illinois
law
enforcement
training
and
standards
board
just
as
past
week.
Congratulations,
mr.
police.
A
And
that's
all
I
have
anybody
else.
Is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn?
Then?
Oh,
oh
I'm,
sorry,
someone
hit
her.
Oh,
yes,
bad
mayor,
okay,
we
are
going
to
we
entertain
a
motion
for
executive
session
and
just
a
sort
of
the
media
and
the
public
knows
you
are
absolutely
welcome
to
hang
around.
But
all
we're
going
to
do
is
adjourn
when
we
come
back
and
if
you
it
could
be
riveting.
You
never
know.
