2021,
as
requested
by
the
administration
department,
and
I
know
council
member
bolin
has
been
working
on
this
quite
a
bit,
but
I'm
just
going
to
read
the
the
proclamation.
I
understand
you
have
some
comments
to
make
a
little
later
correct.
Thank
you.

A
Now,
next
item
on
the

is
recognition
of
appointments
to
various
boards
and
commissions.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Congratulations
both
of
you
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
public
comment.
Madam
clerk,
do
we
have
anybody
present
who
would
like
to
make
a
public
comment
or
virtually.
C
A
A
Public
comment
is
an
opportunity
for
speakers
to
provide
their
views
and
feedback
to
the
city
council.
It
is
also
an
opportunity
for
the
city
council
to
listen
and
hear
diverse
points
of
view
to
maximize
the
impact
of
public
comment
and
show
respect
for
the
expression
of
all
views.
Speakers
should
maintain
civility
and
focus
on
city
issues.
A
Speakers
must
identify
themselves
for
the
record
but
are
not
required
to
give
their
address.
Each
speaker
is
given
the
floor
for
three
minutes,
and
the
council
does
not
respond
or
engage
in
debate.
Any
speaker
that
engages
in
threatening
or
disorderly
behavior
will
be
deemed
out
of
order
and
their
time
ceased.
Thank
you.
Maybe
we're
ready
for
john
now.
C
All
right,
john,
is
actually
not
unmuted
or,
but
he
is
present
in
the
meeting,
so
we'll
just
move
on
and
we'll
circle
back
to
him
at
the
end,
that's
okay!
If
we
could
have
matthew
tosco
come
forward,
please.
G
H
Hello,
my
name
is
tina
scipula
and
I
live
it
with
my
husband,
bob
sampson
at
403
grant
road
in
eastgate
I'd
like
to
thank
all
of
you
for
not
only
listening
to
those
of
us
who
had
our
homes
ruined
by
the
flood
waters
in
late
june.
But
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
working
to
help,
alleviate
and
rectify
the
sewer
problem.
So
it
does
not
happen
again.
H
H
Whenever
there
is
a
prediction
of
rain.
Panic
starts
to
set
in
not
only
in
our
house
but
throughout
our
whole
neighborhood
throughout
the
whole
west
side
throughout
the
whole
town,
when
it
rains
at
night.
We
do
not
sleep,
we
cannot
go
see
our
grandson
on
the
east
side
east
coast
because
it
might
rain
and
our
home
may
flood
again.
H
H
I
I
I
I
They've
got
the
money,
do
everything
that
they
want
to
do,
but
they
don't
have
the
money
to
put
in
the
lousy
infrastructure,
and
I
did
over
a
thousand
dollars
of
damage
with
another
car
by
hitting
a
lousy
pothole
on
the
city
of
bloomington
street,
and
I
pointed
that
out
and
pointed
out.
Nothing
was
done.
J
Good
evening,
thank
you,
council
for
having
me
here
today
allowing
me
to
speak
on
behalf
of
my
neighborhood
I'd
like
to
read
you
a
couple
things
here.
J
I
went
around
to
our
neighborhood
and
collected
over
100
signatures
and
had
conversations
with
my
neighbors
and
realized
the
the
widespread
decimation
that
we
all
received
in
our
neighborhood,
and
I'm
here
tonight
to
represent
those
those
people
the
best
I
can
and
to
provide
you
with
our
petition
that
we
sign
along
with
this
letter.
J
As
you
are
all
aware,
well
aware,
the
volume
of
rain
we
received
june
25th
and
june
26
brought
severe
devastation
and
damage
to
certain
areas
of
the
city.
Our
neighborhood
and
adjoining
neighborhoods
were
especially
impacted
in
ward
1..
J
Now
that
this
event
is
unfolded,
we
residents
are
now
caught
in
a
very
precarious
situation
for
how
to
move
forward
with
respect
to
the
quality
of
life,
securing
our
personal
health
and
making
wise
investment
just
now
looming
threat
that
exists
over
us
first
off.
I
can
assure
you
this
is
not
a
hundred
year
reign
in
my
conversations
with
my
neighbors,
many
of
which
are
long-term
residents
here
since
the
70s
and
80s.
J
J
A
more
medium-sized
event
occurred
a
few
years
ago
in
2019,
and
this
now
major
new
one
in
2021
due
to
our
geological
surroundings
and
the
fact
that
we
sit
in
a
lower
elevation
plane.
The
current
sewer
infrastructure
is
incapable
of
handling
the
excess
runoff
pouring
in
from
the
railroad
to
our
west
and
from
the
developing
neighborhoods
that
surround
us
that
are
up
on
higher
ground
when
heavy
rains
fall.
J
This
overwhelms
the
sewer
system
and
causes
raw
sewage
to
back
up
through
basement
floor
drains
and
toilets.
Not
only
does
the
surface
runoff
produce
destruction
to
streets
yards
and
outer
foundation
walls,
but
the
raw
sewage
backflow
ruins
everything
it
comes
in
contact
with
in
our
basements
and
produces
health
hazards
to
the
homeowner.
J
A
K
Thank
you
for
listening
to
me.
I'm
mary,
gordon.
I
had
a
meeting
with
the
mayor.
Thank
you
mayor
for
listening
to
me.
I
appreciated
it.
You
are
very
nice.
I
appreciate
you
having
me
come
in
my
comment.
Is
it's
not
a
hundred
year
reign,
it's
happened
three
times
in
my
lifetime.
I
lived
in
that
house
for
53
years.
K
This
is
the
third
time
I've
lost
everything.
It's
not
going
to
be
the
last
time
because
it
keeps
happening
and
nobody
is
doing
anything
about
it.
Not
one
darn
thing,
I'm
sick
of
it.
I'm
tired
of
repairing
and
fixing
things
this
time
it
cracked,
my
basement
floors,
it
cracked,
my
basement
walls.
I
just
had
them
fixed
two
and
a
half
years
ago,
I'm
77
years
old,
I'm
going
backwards
instead
of
frontwards,
I'm
really
disgusted
with
it.
I've
lost
eleven
thousand
dollars
with
things
I
shouldn't
have
had
repaired.
K
K
K
K
K
K
K
L
Well,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight
again,
it's
it's
regarding
the
june
25th
reign,
and
it's
also
in
regard
to
the
last
item
on
the
agenda.
Regarding
the
acceleration
of
the
locus
colton
project.
I
live
in
the
eastgate
subdivision
and
our
home
was
affected
with
sewage
about
six
and
a
half
inches,
not
once
but
twice
and
anyway.
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
in
past
meetings
it
has
been
suggested
that
the
city
offer
targeted
relief
to
individual
homeowners
who
have
complained
of
damage
from
flooding.
L
The
locus
colton
project
cannot
be
done
in
any
other
way
than
by
city
planning,
engineering,
funding
and
contracting.
It
is
uniquely
oriented
to
a
fundamental
function
of
government
not
to
remedy
individual
complaints
which
may
be
affected
by
individual
property
condition
or
even
whether
a
complaint
was
made.
L
I
urge
the
city
council
to
to
support
the
acceleration
of
the
locus
colton
project,
the
two
previous
speakers
that
we've
heard
they
they
are
from
an
entire
neighborhood
that
was
affected,
just
as
we
were
so.
Projects
like
locus
colton
need
to
be
expanded
to
benefit
other
areas
of
the
city
that
are
negatively
impacted
before
I
leave.
I
also
want
to
remind
our
individual
city
council
members
that
we
collected
approximately
150
signatures
on
a
petition
urging
our
aldermen
to
support
the
acceleration
of
the
locus
colton
project.
L
M
M
Do
we
go
back
and
reimburse
those
how
about
people
who
didn't
even
bother
filing
a
complaint,
because
it
was
in
the
panograph
and
says
it's
no
need
filing
because
they're
all
going
to
be
turned
down
anyway?
Do
we
open
the
door
up
and
let
those
people
who
have
suffered
damages
but
haven't
previously
reported
it.
M
M
M
C
Thank
you
so
last
up
we
have
john
reed.
He
still
is
present
in
the
meeting
so
john.
If
you
could
press
star
six
to
unmute
we're
ready
for
your
public
comment.
A
A
O
A
A
C
C
O
C
I
O
A
N
N
N
I'm
I'm
happy
to
make
a
motion,
but
I
wonder
if
there
are
other
others
who
had
any
similar
thoughts.
There's
any
discussion.
A
Q
We
did
build
into
this
a
provision
that
allows
exemptions
from
from
the
off
process.
Okay,
so
if
somebody
truly
is
impacted
by
the
copa
19
pandemic,
similar
to
what's
happened
with
the
eviction
moratorium
on
the
state
level,
those
shutoffs
will
or
the
moratorium
on
those
shutoffs
will
continue.
Q
So
there
will
be
exemptions
built
into
this,
so
this
was
designed
to
allow
us
to
resume
the
process,
but
also
to
take
into
account
situations
where
somebody
truly
might
not
be
able
to
pay
their
utility
bill
because
of
the
pandemic.
I
don't
know
if
that
helps,
but
we
we
did
try
and
address
the
situation
of
you
know
trying
to
be
a
little
bit
more
sympathetic
to
that,
but
also
build
in
some
process
to
allow
us
to
to
exempt
those
individuals
truly
impacted.
N
Thanks
jeff
so
to
be
clear
at
the
at
that
date
september
30th.
Would
someone
then
need
to
apply
for
that
exemption?
Does
that
automatically.
Q
Q
There
are
income
thresholds
associated
with
that
as
well
sure,
but
if
somebody
could
demonstrate-
and
this
would
all
be
set
up
by
executive
order
from
the
city
manager,
but
if
somebody
could
demonstrate
that
they've
got
that
impact
and
that
you
know
they're
gonna
not
gonna
be
able
to
pay
their
water
bill
because
of
the
pandemic,
then
they
would
be
entitled
to
that
exemption.
N
Okay,
all
right,
if
that,
with
that
explanation,
I'm
willing
to
withdraw
my
motion.
Okay,.
A
L
A
Okay,
awesome
motion
carries
no
days
to
announce
next
item
on
the.
O
O
O
It
appears
that
the
hard
costs
are
construction
related
that
would
be
labor,
materials,
etc.
Is
that
correct?
Okay?
So
then
the
architect
fees
would
be
considered.
Soft
costs.
S
So
good
evening,
so
donna
the
yeah
soft
costs
are
more
of
the.
I
should
say
the
hard
costs
are
the
construction,
the
more
physical
things.
Soft
costs
are
some
of
the
some
of
the
equipments
that
might
be
inside
the
cassette
stand
or
items
like
that.
So
what
we're
asking
for
is
to
approve
the
contract
for
the
with
the
architects
that
we've
been
working
with
to
complete
the
project.
S
O
Yeah,
I
mean,
I
understand,
will
the
if
the
cost
of
the
project
goes
up?
That
means
the
soft
costs
from
the
architect
will
go
up.
This
7.5.
O
So
you're
saying
that
they,
what
is
it
the
11.7
million,
will
not
increase.
S
O
Okay,
so
the
800
885
well,
886
thousand
dollars
is
included
in
the
11.7.
S
So
where
we
are
right
now
for
our
for
a
project
is
we're
about
six
percent
over
budget
with
us.
That
includes
a
seven
half
percent
contingency.
So
if
nothing
goes
wrong,
we
don't
find
anything
that
we
didn't
expect
we'll
be
right
on
budget,
maybe
even
a
little
under
depending
on
that's
our
latest
estimates
going
back
to
july
and
we've
been
making
smaller
cuts
as
we've
gone
along
since
july,
so
we
should,
those
costs
should
be
the
highest.
They
are
in
terms
of
an
estimations.
S
O
S
We
don't
know,
there's
a
possibility.
Okay,
yes
with
you
know,
steel,
pvc
and
concrete
costs
are
high
and
obviously
this
project
has
a
lot
of
that,
but
we
believe
those
numbers
will
come
down.
But
again
you
know
it's
speculation.
O
S
O
Okay,
well,
I
just
wanted
to
remind
everyone
that
I
voted
against
the
pool
not
because
I'm
against
the
pool,
but
because
of
the
I
guess,
the
fiscal
impact
and
all
the
financial
information
that
I
would
like
to
have
had
before
voting.
A
I,
okay
sure,
can
I
get
a
second
then
after
that
we'll
go
to
other
questions.
Okay,
second,
by
council
member
award,
okay,
go
ahead
discussion.
N
T
T
If
the
cost
of
our
materials
go
up,
so
I
would
propose
a
different
solution
that
we
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
come
back
and
say:
how
can
we
bring
this
project
in
for
10
so
that
we
don't
have
to
update
the
architect's
fees
and
we
don't
have
to
use
that
contingency
in
all
honesty,
I'd
like
to
see
us
find
a
way
to
reduce
it,
because
we
need
that
money
in
other
places,
and
it's
just
with
all
we're
dealing
with.
I
don't
do
that
at
home.
My
costs
go
up.
T
S
There
are
parts
of
the
project
that
can
be
taken
out,
for
example,
the
skate
park
and
the
spray
park
are
are
isolated
enough
that
they
could
be
taken
out
of
the
project
when
this
was
brought
to
council.
Before
a
number
of
you
were
up
here,
it
was
deemed
to
move
forward
with
those
amenities
included.
R
Jay,
let
me
let
me
jump
in
here,
real
quick
and
maybe
comment
to
alderman
becker's
question
and
and
maybe
even
to
older
woman
bowling's
question
right
now,
with
this
project,
we're
still
operating
within
the
11.7
million
dollar,
pledge
that
we
made
to
the
community.
R
A
portion
of
that
was
the
contingency
that,
with
the
item
before
council
tonight,
the
majority
of
that
has
been
eaten
up,
but
we're
still
under
that
11.7
million
dollars
to
alderman
becker's
questions
about
the
project.
R
We
don't
know
yet,
what's
going
to
come
in
from
the
bids
on
the
construction
side
of
that,
and
if
we
find
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
many
things
that
are
beyond
our
control
pre-covered
and
the
impacts
of
covet
that
this
project
is
going
to
be
substantially
more
than
the
original
projection
of
11.7
millions.
That
is
11.7
million.
That
is
definitely
a
conversation
that
will
be
had
with
council
to
hold
those
costs.
D
I
just
can't
I
just
had
a
question
back
in
march
and
reviewing
the
discussion
that
the
council
had
at
that
time.
There
seemed
to
be
a
tremendous
amount
of
optimism
of
actually
beating
the
estimated
value
it
was
recorded
in
the
minutes
that
it
was
believed
that
the
project
would
come
in
under
budget.
D
Is
there
anything
else?
I
think
already
we
were
experiencing
the
challenges
with
supply
chain,
the
futures
on
a
lot
of
these
commodity
construction
products
was
already
high
and
effect
in
some
cases,
probably
higher
than
what
we
even
have
now.
But
I'm
just
wondering
if
something
about
the
sentiment
there
changed
or
if
there's
some
other
information
that
has
come
to
light.
S
Knowing
that
we're
right
on,
you
know
we're
right
there
so
to
to
help
us.
You
know
for
bids
to
come
in
under
of
where,
where
we're
at
from
a
budget
perspective
or
just
what
we
estimate
right
now.
So
I
don't
know,
if
anything
has
really
changed,
I
mean
some
costs
have
gone
up.
Some
have
come
down,
we're
still
dealing
with
high
costs
overall
for
construction.
S
So
I
don't
think
nothing
that
I
can
say
specifically
that
has
changed.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Councilman
ward,.
P
P
A
Thank
you
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
public
hearing
for
the
2020
community
development
block
rank
consolidated
annual
performance
evaluation
report,
as
requested
by
the
economic
and
community
development
department,
and
we
have
for
the
presentation,
melissa
hahn
from
director
of
economic
development
and
the
the
hearing
is
starting
at.
A
U
U
U
It
was
difficult
to
determine
appropriate
goals
related
to
the
cares
funding,
since
we've
never
allocated
resources
related
to
a
pandemic
response
before
so
you'll
see
in
the
caper.
There
are
some
percentages
that
we
were
way
way
over
kind
of
our
projected
goal.
That's
due
to
the
fact
that
we
really
didn't
know
how
to
set
those
goals
at
the
at
that
time.
U
But
overall,
our
coven
19
response
has
been
very
successful.
86
households
have
received
up
to
5
000
in
direct
aid
for
rent
or
mortgage
and
or
utilities
assistance.
We
have
also
assisted
60
small
businesses
with
small
business
grants.
A
hundred
percent
of
the
those
grants
awarded
to
small
businesses
went
to
businesses
where
either
the
owner
or
an
employee
qualified
as
low
income,
which
is
under
80
percent
of
the
area
meeting
income.
U
Due
to
the
coven
19
pandemic-related
construction
delays,
we
did
not
meet
our
goal
of
the
three
homeowner
housing
units
added,
but
habitat
does
currently
have
three
sites
that
are
under
construction
that
will
be
completed
at
this
next
construction
season
or
should
be
completed
in
2022.
U
We
also
did
complete
one
demo
this
year,
which
will
be
another
future
site
for
habitat
under
the
public
facilities
and
infrastructure.
We
were
able
to
provide
funding
for
mcca
to
complete
upgrades
to
their
building
for
ada
compliance,
and
the
city
was
also
able
to
make
improvements
to
evergreen
park,
including
new,
accessible
playground,
equipment
benches
and
drinking
fountain.
U
We
were
also
able
to
fund
a
variety
of
public
service
activities
such
as
piecemeals,
who
served
over
26
000
meals
to
233
individuals
who
were
extremely
low
income.
The
west
bloomington
revitalization
project
was
able
to
enroll
198
new
members
in
the
tool,
library
and
provided
86
beds
to
low
to
moderate
income.
U
U
P
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much.
That
was
that
was
very
informative
and
I
very
much
appreciate
the
good
work
that
you're
doing
with
this.
Could
you
could
you
just
clarify,
given
how
many
of
the
the
items
that
you
see
you
described
are
going
to
individuals
and
and
small
businesses
and
so
forth?
Can
you
can
you
talk
just
a
little
bit
about
what
the
public
good
in
in
those
projects
is
and
spending
that
money
on
for
for
individuals
is
what
what
is
some
of
the
public
good.
U
So,
through
the
the
different
public
service
activities,
as
I
described,
you
know
we,
we
have
an
application
process
where
local
agencies
can
apply
for
assistance
for
their
programs
and
so
because
we're
able
to
help
fund
those
programs
they're
able
to
provide
assistance
for
people
in
need.
As
I
mentioned,
recycling
for
families,
is
able
to
provide
furniture
and
home
furnishing
furnishings
for
a
lot
of
people
who
are
coming
out
of
homelessness
into
permanent
housing,
also
with
piece
meals.
U
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Okay,
council
member.
A
F
Thank
you
mayor
thanks,
melissa,
yeah.
I
think
that
you
know
you
and,
and
your
office
has
done
a
great
job.
You
know
handling
so
much
so
many
additional
things
during
covid
and
some
things
just
couldn't
be
done
because
of
covid
right
and
and
some
of
those
things
that
I
saw
in
the
caper
report
were
like
elimination
of
slum
and
blight
conditions.
Rehabbing
rental,
u
units
or
homeowner
units
are
those
things
that
you
think
looking
into
the
future.
That
kind
of
we
can
kind
of
improve
those
numbers.
U
Definitely
I
think
that
throughout
you
know
our
strategic
plan
goals
over
the
next
five
years.
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
meet
those
goals,
but
I
don't
think
anybody
could
have,
as
I
said,
really
estimated
what
that
impact
would
be
with
the
pandemic.
So
I
hopefully
I'm
I'm
hopeful
we'll
be
able
to
get
caught
up.
I
think
the
fact
that
we've
already
got
three
construction
projects
underway
for
the
new
housing
is
a
good
sign
that
we're
headed
in
the
right
direction.
U
U
U
A
A
Okay,
next
item
on
the
regular
agenda
is
a
presentation
and
discussion
of
priorities
and
recommendations
for
associated
projects
related
to
city
infrastructure
and
recent
storm
events,
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
few
comments.
First
of
all,
I
wanted
to
to
thank
staff
for
their
patience
and
their
their
expertise,
working
to
provide
options
that
the
council
can
so
that
the
council
can
respond
to
the
public's
aspirations.
A
A
A
And
I
know,
even
though
you
know
the
this
solution,
I
think
is
not
going
to
to
happen
necessarily
right
away,
but
at
least
we
can
put
forth
a
a
plan
in
motion
and
begin
to
execute.
So
again,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
patience
and
like
to
pass
it
on
to
a
city
manager,
gleason.
R
We're
going
to
cover
several
different
areas
on
this
go
and
pull
up.
The
first
slide,
please
phil
and
we're
going
to
cover
several
different
areas
and
presenters
is,
are
going
to
are
going
to
be
public
works
director,
kevin
kothe,
deputy
city
manager,
billy
tyus,
is
going
to
have
a
portion
and
then
also
corporation
council,
jeff
jergens.
There's
only
15
slides
here
appreciate
the
audience
staying
and
allowing
us
to
present
this
to
you.
R
You
know
in
person
and
look
forward
to
the
conversation
afterwards
again
with
this
presentation
we're
trying
to
address
some
of
the
issues
that
have
been
discussed.
I
know
that
I've
said
this
before
locus.
Colton
is
a
nine-phase
project,
infrastructure
project
and
it
was
set
in
motion
a
few
years
ago.
Three
of
the
nine
phases
have
been
complete
and
if
we
maintain
the
current
rate,
completion
is
targeted
at
2029.
R
Something
else
that
we're
going
to
hear
about
is
the
and
you've
heard
about
it
in
the
past,
but
we're
going
to
highlight
a
portion
of
this,
because
we
feel
that
this
is
the
best
use
of
taxpayer
dollars
and
and
running.
Parallel
to
the
locus
colton
project
is
going
to
provide
the
greatest
impact
in
a
positive
way
for
a
larger
portion
of
the
community,
and
that
is
hydraulic
modeling.
R
It
was
in
the
2014
master,
sewer,
sewer
master
plan
and
that's
an
area
that
we're
going
to
highlight
and
think
this
will
work
towards
a
solution
for
for
this
issue.
Next
slide
phil
and
at
this
point
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
kevin
kothe
with
the
recommendations
and,
I
think,
slides
three
through
seven
kevin.
Thank
you.
V
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
city
manager.
This
is
a
slide
that
you'll
recognize
from
prior
presentations,
but
just
to
review
that
part,
that's
red
dash
is
those
phases
of
locus
colton
that
are
complete.
V
V
That
design
is
complete
and
we've
heard
you
know
from
the
epa
that
we're
in
line
for
the
funding
and
so
we'll
be
bidding
that
in
the
next
few
months,
that
project
will,
you
know,
get
underway
with
construction
next
season
and
then
the
two
shades
of
green
there.
Four
and
five,
that's
what
we
talked
about.
You
know
combining
and
delivering
those
at
the
same
time
as
opposed
to
sequentially
and
then
phases.
Eight
and
nine
are
the
two
shades
of
purple.
V
That
area
south
of
oakland
is
eight
and
then
that
area
up
by
the
athletic
fields,
just
south
of
locust,
is
phase
nine.
So
next
slide,
please.
V
With
each
phase
is
the
estimated
construction
costs
and
what
we've
looked
at
is
you
know
the
opportunity
to
combine
faces
four
and
five
together,
which
you
know
phase
four
engineering
is
currently
under
contract
phase
five
engineering,
we're
working
on
getting
scope
and
feet
put
together
to
bring
that
to
you
at
a
future
meeting
and
that
way
we
can
get
the
engineering
design
construction
plans
put
together
for
phases,
four
and
five
to
be
bid
together,
deliver
that
sooner
time
frame,
and
then
you
know,
phases
eight
and
nine
bringing
those
forward
a
little
bit
quicker
and
then
you
know
basically
shaving
a
few
years
off
the
project
delivery
so
that,
in
instead
of
construction,
complete
in
29
construction
could
be
complete
at
the
end
of
26.,
you'll
see
that
the
bar
charts
go
a
little
bit
past
the
end
of
the
year,
while
there's
some
project
close
out.
V
V
Please
another
thing
that
was
talked
about
in
the
2014
master
plan
and
there
was
some
hydraulic
modeling
done
at
the
time,
but
you
know
that
that
core
of
bloomington
being
able
to
provide
some
relief
in
that
core
area
that
goes
right
through
the
south
end
of
downtown
all
the
way
to
the
west
side
of
wilmington
and
the
first
part
of
this
we're
suggesting
would
be
to
do
some
additional
hydraulic,
modeling
and
then
move
into
engineering,
design
and
construction
documents
for
what
was
called
pawn
one.
V
In
that
study.
We
would
think
that
it'd
be
appropriate
to
name
as
an
e
street
basin
so
that
everybody
can
identify
with
where
it's
at
and
we
would
be
we're
working
to
get
a
scope
of
services
and
fee
put
together.
V
But
the
core
area,
like
I
said,
is
kind
of
along
the
railroad
tracks,
the
norfolk
southern
line-
and
you
know
another
part
of
that
also
involved
pond
two
and
next
slide.
Please.
V
You
can
see
the
ovals
there,
where
we've
got
identified
just
south
of
downtown
to
the
east
of
main
street
is
the
east
street
basin.
Pond
two
is
over
to
the
northwest
over
by
the
between
the
up
line
and
washington
street,
that
pond
too,
we
are
working
to
get
a
meeting
set
up
with
nycor
and
their
engineers
to
try
to
see
what
the
next
steps
are
to
be
able
to
work
out.
Turning
that
site
potentially
into
a
basin
as
well.
V
There's
other
factors
involved
there,
because
nicor
is
remediating
the
site
under
an
high
epa
permit,
and
so
they're
also
involved
in
this.
So
there's
some
logistics
to
work
out
there,
but
we
are
pursuing
that
as
well
and
we'll
see
how
that
goes.
But
since
we
own
the
land
there
by
the
e
street
basin,
land
act
is
not
an
issue
moving
forward
with
that
aspect
to
be
done
pretty
quickly.
So
the
map
you
see
has
the
triangles.
As
the
pma
claims.
V
The
circles
are
the
mclean
county,
ema
surveyed
locations
that
people
responded
to
with
flooding
complaints,
and
so
you
can
see
that
that
core
concentration
of
impacted
residences
and
businesses,
you
know,
really
does
follow
that
trunk
sewer.
That
is
parallel
with
the
norfolk
southern
track
through
a
good
section
of
bloomington.
V
So
if
we
can,
you
know
take
that
that
water,
that
excess
storm
water
and
convey
it
and
store
it
somewhere
safely,
so
that
it
doesn't
back
up
in
people's
basements
or
in
some
cases
these
people
also
got
surface
flooding.
They
got
it
both
ways,
so
providing
relief
will
do
a
lot
of
good
for
those
older
parts
of
bloomington
next
slide,
please.
V
This
is
convenience
center
is
located
and
north
of
the
tracks,
that's
just
the
general
location
of
what
we're
looking
at
there.
So
that's
the
last
of
my
slides
I'll
turn
it
back
to
c
manager.
R
Thank
you,
kevin
and
really
before
we
move
on
to
the
next
portion
of
this
presentation.
Just
to
recap,
locus
colton
again
is
a
nine
phase
project.
Three
phases
are
already
complete
and
there
had
been
some
discussion
or
a
call
of
city
staff
city
leaders
to
compress
that
into
a
2024
2025
completion.
R
R
The
area
due
south
of
the
library
and
to
the
southeast
is
an
area
that
we
know
that
any
investment
in
this
regarding
hydraulic
modeling,
alongside
two
phases
of
locus
colton
being
compressed,
which
brings
the
other
four
faces
to
construction
sooner
with
the
targeted
2026
date.
We
feel
that
that
is
a
greater
impact
and
an
investment
of
taxpayer
dollars
for
the
entire
community,
because
it
pulls
water
from
the
east
westward
from
the
southeast
to
the
northeast,
I'm
sorry
to
the
northwest
and
then
it
causes
it.
R
It
adds
as
a
relief
for
everything
that's
on
the
west
side
of
the
community
and
it's
just
the
first
step
regarding
hydraulic
modeling.
But
we
are
confident
that
this,
alongside
the
locus
colton
project,
truly,
is
the
best
investment
of
taxpayer
dollars
and
is
going
to
offer
that
relief.
That
we've
talked
about
sooner
next
slide.
Please
phil
and
this
portion
is
going
to
be
done
by
deputy
city
manager,
tyus
billy.
W
Thank
you,
mayor
members
of
the
council,
one
of
the
things
that,
as
we've
talked
about
the
enormous
amount
of
work,
that's
going
to
be
happening
over
the
next
several
years,
is
how
do
we
figure
out
how
to
not
let
the
process
get
in
the
way
of
keeping
the
work
moving
with
certain
limitations?
W
That
would
be
necessary
for
the
work
that
we're
going
to
be
doing.
It
allows
the
mayor
and
the
manager
to
to
sign
off
on
those
jointly,
and
one
of
the
things
it
does
is
that
it
allows
us
to
not
have
to
be
at
the
mercy
of
schedules
of
meeting
schedules.
W
I'll
say
it
that
way:
here's
the
thing
it's
only
for
those
items
that
you
would
have
already
approved
as
part
of
the
budget
process,
so
the
things
for
which
you
would
have
already
approved
the
funding
for
first
of
all,
the
other
thing
that
it
is
is
that
we
still
have
to
follow
rules
for
procurement
and
bidding,
etc,
etc.
So
we
still
follow
those
rules.
It
just
allows,
in
certain
circumstances,
for
the
mayor
and
the
manager
to
sign
off
on
some
of
these
agreements.
W
One
of
the
things
that
we
believe
is
that
it
will
it
will
that
I'm
sorry
excuse
me,
one
of
the
things
that
I
forgot
was
that
the
manager
will
also
be
required
to
return
to
you
once
those
things
have
occurred
to
report
back
to
you
during
an
open
meeting
that
those
things
have
been
signed
off
on,
if
approved
next
slide.
Please
phil
one
of
the
things
we
also
discovered
during
our
our
conversations
is
that
we've
had
an
overhead
tour
program
for
some
time,
but
unfortunately
there
wasn't
an
awareness
of
it.
W
First
of
all,
and
second
of
all,
it
wasn't
highly
used,
maybe
in
part,
because
people
weren't,
aware
of
it
frankly.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
expect
as
we
move
forward,
is
that
more
people
will
use
the
program
and
so
in
in
seeing
that
we
are
going
to
recommend
that
we
increase
funding
to
250
000
for
the
program
versus
the
current
40
000.
W
The
other
thing
is
that
you
know
like
I
said
we
expect
that
there
will
be
more
usage,
but
we
don't
know
so.
We
would
recommend
the
increases
going
forward
in
increments
of
250
000
based
on
usage
just
so
that
there
is
appropriate
funding
for
the
program.
If
people
choose
to
use
it,
one
of
the
other
things
that
we
are
recommending
is
we
currently
provide
up
to
forty
five
hundred
dollars
for
for
the
projects.
W
W
One
of
the
reasons
for
that
is
that
the
cost
of
these
projects
can
vary
greatly,
based
on
what
we
find
when
we're
on
site
and
the
work
starts
or
the
work
is
being
proposed
to
start.
Some
projects
will
be
more
costly.
Some
projects
will
be
less
costly
and
so
doing
a
percentage
of
the
cost
versus
this.
This
dollar
amount
we
feel
is
more
equitable
to
people
who
maybe
have
higher
costs
projects
versus
some
who
maybe
have
some
of
the
smaller
ones.
W
The
other
thing
is
that,
even
with
that,
we're
investigating
and
probably
going
to
suggest,
we
allow
for
an
installment
program
to
pay
for
residents
to
pay
the
rest
of
those
costs
and
here's
why,
even
though
the
city
would
be
covering
two-thirds
of
the
project
costs
with
certain
limitations,
you
know
even
some
of
these
smaller
dollar
amounts
that
are
left
to
the
resident
can
be
a
big
bite
to
take
for
some
residents.
I
mean
some
folks
frankly
can't
afford
it.
So
how
do
we
make
it
easier
for
people
to
use
the
program?
W
One
of
the
things
that
we
would
recommend
and
going
forward
is
to
maybe
have
an
installment
program
to
allow
for
residents
to
pay
in
installments
for
the
rest
of
the
funding,
either
through
your
traditional
program
or
even
potentially
as
part
of
a
property
tax
bill.
If
that's
allowed
that
way,
it's
it's
a
part
of
the
bill
that
people
get
every
year
in
in
and
those
that
cost
could
be
broken
up
into
monthly
installments.
R
Next
slide,
phil
and
as
we
transition
this
will
be
the
slide
that
corporation
council
jeff
jurgens
is
going
to
walk
through,
but
this
is
regarding
public
purpose,
public
funds.
This
is
a
conversation
that
we've
had
in
a
variety
of
meetings,
and
you
know
behind
the
scenes
with
the
elected
officials.
R
What
you've
seen
up
to
this
point
is
the
charge
from
the
elected
officials.
You
know
come
up
with
a
solution.
Is
there
a
better
way,
also
find
a
way
to
provide
that
support
and
you've
seen
that
in
the
special
bulk
waste
pickups
that
we've
done
as
a
community?
You
see
this
with
some
of
the
things
that
the
deputy
city
manager
just
did
present,
but
the
idea
of
the
city
and
and
I'll
I'll
I'll
describe
it.
This
way
it's
been
described
this
way
in
the
past
and
I'll
just
follow
the
suit.
R
R
G
R
That
way,
if
we,
if
it
was
challenging-
if
we
did
this,
if
that
was
the
marching
orders
that
I
got
from
this
council,
his
city
manager,
to
set
up
this
program
and
it
was
challenged
and
we
went
into
court.
Basically,
we
would
hang
our
hat
on
90
000
year
old
case
law
and
that's
what
we
would
try
to
use
to
defend
ourselves.
R
We
may
not
be
successful,
given
the
examples
that
we
would
cite
are
so
old.
Also,
you
do
not
see
this,
this
kind
of
activity
out
of
a
municipal
or
a
county
government
regarding
public
funds,
so
one
to
share
that
this
was
very
much
a
topic
that
we
needed
to
cover,
and
tonight
was
the
night
for
that
and
jeff.
Please
continue.
Q
Thank
you,
city
manager,
and
just
I
guess,
to
start
off
in
the
piggyback
on
some
of
that.
We
first
looked.
You
know
there
are
all
these
ideas
and
different
discussion
to
what
type
of
programs
can
we
come
up
with
to
help
these
residents
that
are
in
need
and
so
and
direct
aid
being
one
of
those
types
of
ideas
went
to
the
municipal
code
tried
to
see
if
there
any
programs
kind
of
built
in
that
we
could
build
upon
or
that
we
could
utilize
did
not
find
anything
there.
Q
So
then
we
come
to
what
the
city
manager
is
talking
about
in
terms
of
okay.
If
we're
going
to
create
our
own
type
of
program,
is
it
you
know?
Is
it
serving
a
public
purpose,
which
is
what
we
are
tied
to
when
we're
expending
public
funds,
and
so
have
done
some
research
into
that
still
working
on
a
lot
of
those
issues
but
wanted
to
share
in
the
slide
up
there
give
some
of
the
highlights
of
you
know
the
different
legalese
when
you
do
some
research
on
public
purpose.
Q
What
you're,
looking
at
in
terms
of
you
know
it
really
has
to
be
to
further
that
public
purpose,
and
it
it
can
only
the
private
benefit,
can
only
be
incidental.
Q
So
all
of
this
is
a
fancy
way,
or
maybe
a
long
way
of
saying
if
a
program
like
that
is
going
to
be
developed
by
the
council,
the
council
will
need
to
identify
and
define
the
public
purpose,
and
so
that
is
something
that
would
encourage
the
council
to
look
at
and
to
work
on.
If
that
is
something
that
is,
is
desired
without
there
being
other.
You
know
direct
cases
on
point
without
there
being
a
program
in
the
statutes
on
something
like
this.
Q
I've
sometimes
talked
about
this
as
looking
like
a
spectrum
and
on
one
end
of
the
spectrum.
You've
got
where
it's
a
very
clear
public
purpose
say,
for
example,
when
the
city
did
the
bulk
cleanup
after
the
initial
flooding
event,
when
you're
you
know
you're
serving
that
purpose
of
the
health
and
sanitation
and
general
welfare
of
the
public.
You
know,
I
think,
that's
a
very
clearly
identifiable
public
purpose
that
is
very
defensible
on
the
other
end
of
the
spectrum.
You
know
maybe
you've
got
some
sort
of
reimbursement
for
furniture
or
something
like
that.
Q
Is
that
serving
a
public
purpose,
or
is
that
serving
more
of
a
private
purpose?
And
that's
you
know
if
if
the
program
was
going
to
look
like
that,
that's
where
we
would
have
to
get
into
the
clearly
definable
public
purpose,
and
I
think,
as
as
was
discussed
some
tonight.
Q
There
are
a
lot
of
different
things
and
up
here
it
talks
about
the
customary
use
you
know.
Sometimes
cor
courts
will
look
at
that.
There
are
a
lot
of
different
functions
that
the
city
does
and
that
the
city
uses
programs
that
that
it
offers,
and
so
certainly
things
like
that
can
be
looked
at,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
the
council
will
have
to
come
up
with
and
we'll
have
to
define
what
is
that
public
purpose
and
make
sure
that
the
private
benefit
is
only
incidental,
so
that
is
basically
all
I've
got
on
that.
R
We
have
five
more
slides
next
slide,
please
phil
and
then
before
I
turn
this
over
to
the
deputy
city
manager.
You
know
this.
This
was
also
a
highlight
of
council.
You
know,
find
the
assistance
that's
available,
there's
a
quite
there's
quite
a
few.
There
is
quite
a
bit
of
assistance
that
is
already
out
in
the
community.
R
We
think
that
we
have
found
a
couple
of
opportunities
that
we're
extremely
excited
about
as
staff
sharing
this
with
the
community,
something
else
that
I'll
say
in
these
conversations
that
started.
You
know
a
little
bit
more
than
two
months
ago
is,
I
think,
all
of
us
have
watched
the
national
and
international
events
regarding
weather.
R
We
purposely
have
spoke
very
little
about
this.
I
mean
there
was
relevance
and
it
fit
in
some
of
the
conversations
that
we've
had,
but
we
did
not
talk
about
everything
that
was
occurring
every
everywhere
else,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
this
is
about
the
city
of
bloomington.
This
is
about
the
bloomington
residents
and
the
elected
officials
made
it
very
clear
in
our
presentations
as
staff
to
the
community
to
them
and
the
community
that
this
was
about
trying
to
find
what
we
can
offer
our
bloomington
residents.
W
Thank
you,
mr
gleason,
one
of
the
things
that,
as
the
manager
said,
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
did
was
reminded
the
public
of
some
of
the
assistance
that
has
been
available,
but
also
that,
in
some
cases
is
still
available
available
for
people
who
may
be
still
be
in
need
next
slide.
Please
phil.
W
I
think
a
lot
of
folks
are
aware
of
the
sba
disaster
loans
and
we
wanted
to
remind
residents
that
the
sba
loans
are
still
being
accepted,
and
this
is
a
great
resource
for
some,
not
for
everyone,
but
for
some.
I
also
think
it's
worth
noting
that
there's
been
more
than
1.2
million
in
aid
given
and
that's
not
an
insignificant
amount.
W
I
just,
I
think
it's
important
to
to
outline
that
that
you
know
these,
like
these
loans
are
helping
a
lot
of
people
in
our
community
and
providing
a
lot
of
funding
to
our
community,
the
realtors
relief
foundation.
I
believe
this
is
a
conversation
the
mayor
had
with
this
organization
and
they
they
wanted
to.
They
wanted
to
help,
and
so
we
would
recommend
that
people
if
they
have
a
need
for
assistance
contact
them.
W
Next
slide,
please
a
couple
other
programs
and
I
won't
read
all
of
them.
Obviously,
the
salvation
army
has
not
always
done
a
lot
of
great
work
for
communities
across
the
nation,
nyquir
gas
and
american
illinois
mechanical
assistance
program.
W
They
will
provide
an
assessment
of
some
of
the
hvac
systems
in
people's
homes,
water
heaters,
sewers,
etc,
etc.
Furnaces
and
based
on
those
assessments,
incomes,
income,
qualified
individuals,
can
ultimately
receive
help
in
replacing
funding,
replacing
furnaces
and
water
heaters
specific
to
flood
affected
customers.
Central
air
conditioners
could
also
be
replaced
so
again.
Another
program,
that's
out
there
that's
available
that
people
may
not
know
about
next
slide.
Please
phil,
there's
a
three
three
programs
there,
but
a
particular
note,
I
believe,
is
the
illinois
baptist
disaster
relief
agency.
W
I
think
that's
been
one
of
the
unheralded
sources
of
assistance
in
our
community.
They
traveled
from
around
the
state
to
come
and
help
people
who
are
in
need
at
no
charge.
They
helped
with
the
removal
of
some
of
the
debris
that
was
that
had
to
be
removed
from
people's
homes,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
and
so
I
think
it's
worth
mentioning
that
the
manager
also
mentioned
earlier
the
city's
bulk
waste
pickup
program.
W
Again
it
was,
it
is
a
a
source
of
direct
assistance
where
we
we
disposed
of
nearly
more
than
two
million
pounds
of
debris
that
had
been
damaged
by
flooding
and
again,
you
can
see
the
total
cost
on
the
screen
as
well.
W
Finally,
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
been
working
to
determine
it's
not
on
the
screen
is
for
the
last
three
years
we
have
participated
in
a
program
through
the
illinois
housing
development
authority.
You
should
have
an
email
that
I
was
sent
late
today
is
the
illinois,
housing
development
authority,
single
family
rehab
program,
and
it's
designed
to
assist
low
and
very
low
income
residents,
not
just
persons
who
may
have
experienced
funding,
but
people
who
experience
experience
flooding.
W
I
apologize
it's
not
just
for
persons
who
experience
flooding,
but
persons
who
experience
flooding,
who
met
certain
stipulations
could
be
eligible,
would
be
eligible
and
it's.
The
funding
is
designed
to
provide
rehab
projects
to
make
repairs
that
replace
costly
maintenance
items
to
remove
health
and
safety
hazards,
which
I
would
think
in
some
of
these
cases.
That
is
the
case
in
some
of
the
homes.
W
We
believe
that,
with
the
funding
that
you
approved
tonight
for
us
to
receive
plus
funding
from
past
years
that
has
not
yet
allocated
or
in
process,
etc,
etc.
We
could
have
roughly
six
hundred
forty
thousand
dollars
to
assist
low
to
very
low
income
residents
with
housing,
rehabilitation
needs.
And
again
I
I
I'd
ask
for
for
some
level
of
patience
as
we
work
through
the
ins
and
outs
of
how
we
can
utilize
the
funding,
etc,
etc.
W
But
we
think
this
is
a
very
positive
thing
to
have
discovered
as
it
can
go
towards
helping
some
of
the
folks
who
are
low
income
or
a
very
low
income,
and
people
would
need
to
to
meet
hud
standards
for
for
income
for
for
household
size
and
but
those
those
those
levels
aren't
as
low
as
you
may
think,
and
so
more
to
come
on
that.
But
we
think
it's
a
positive
that
we
have
been
able
to
identify
the
possibility
of
utilizing
that
funding.
R
Thank
you
billy
and
the
last
slide.
Phil
and
I've
just
got
a
few
more
comments:
real
quick
on
the
the
ida
opportunities
that
the
deputy
city
manager
was
talking
about.
R
That
really
does
speak
specifically
to
in
part
alderwoman
wards,
council
initiative
and
then
also
you
know
the
desire
and
the
wishes
of
many
of
the
council
members
as
well.
So
that
was
one
that
there's
more
information
to
follow,
but
that's
over
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
that,
if
you
fit
the
financial
criteria,
it
will
go
to
repairs
and
it
definitely
does
apply
not
specific
to
a
storm
event.
R
But
the
repair
portion
is
definitely
something
that
would
apply
also
in
the
conversations
that
we've
had
with
you
know:
state
elected
officials.
So
we
have
four.
We
have
two
state
senators.
We
have
two
state
representatives
and
then
also
with
the
governor's
administration
through
our
lobbyists
through
the
mayor.
R
Having
conversations,
we
have
explored
countless
opportunities
to
see
if
there
was
any
relief
at
the
state
level.
Cdbg
is
one
area
that
we
talked
about.
Is
there
additional
funding
that
could
be
received
in
addition
to
the
city's
allotment
that
we
have
already
received,
and
the
answer
to
that
is
no.
R
It's
very
desirable
going
to
the
open
market
you
know
is
only
1.8
percent,
but
when
you're
talking
about
bill
borrowing,
hundreds
of
thousands
millions
of
dollars-
you
know,
seven
tenths
of
a
percent
on
a
loan
is
something
that
can
add
up,
and
that
is
an
ongoing
conversation
and
feel
confident
that
we
can
capitalize
on
that
with
the
compression.
R
Even
with
the
compression
that
we're
suggesting
in
tonight's
presentation,
then
representative
dan
brady,
you
know-
I
think
everybody
knows
that
you
know
his
passion
for
the
community
born
and
raised
here,
and
he
seems
to
be
everywhere
and
and
that's
just
what
he
does
he
he,
along
with
other
state
representatives
in
a
budget.
A
state
budget
a
couple
of
years
ago,
got
a
six
hundred
thousand
dollar
grant
administered
through
dceo
department
of
commerce
and
economic.
R
And
while
this
would
you
know
the
it's
intended
to
benefit
just
his
ward,
he
has
shared
with
the
mayor
myself
and
others
that
any
any
any
greater
use
for
the
entire
bloomington
community
he's
open
to
repurposing
that
dco
grant.
So
these
are
things
that
are
in
play
and
very
much
appreciate
the
partnership
with
him
and
others
as
well
future
action
items.
There
are
no
action
items
that
come
tonight.
This
was
a
presentation
with
staff
recommendations
and
then,
in
two
weeks
from
now
the
expedited
ordinance
will
come
on
the
27th.
R
A
Okay,
thank
you
tim
again.
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
doing
a
great
job
under
very
difficult
circumstances,
so
and
coming
up
with
some
some
items
for
us
to
consider
and
before
I
turn
it
over
to
council.
I
know
this
was
a
lot
of
information
and
I
just
want
to
to
be
sure
that
everyone
gets
an
opportunity
to
ask
their
questions,
so
I
would
ask
you.
G
A
F
A
Well
now
we
can
kind
of
go
around,
so
everybody
gets
a
chance.
F
F
Okay,
so,
okay,
I
gotta
decide
which
one
to
ask.
F
So,
just
to
kind
of
confirm
on
locus
colton
we're
doing
work
this
year,
we're
set
to
do
work
next
year
and
it
looked
like
from
one
of
those
slides
that
it's
almost
a
three-year
reduction
in
time
what's
proposed
because
actually
it's
currently
projected,
I
saw
the
first
two
quarters
of
2030
in
that.
So
so
we
were.
We
would
be
reducing
the
time
by
three
years
and
then
I'll
just
ask
right
now.
F
V
V
So
if
we
can
get
the
water
instead
of
into
the
combination
sewer
where
it
surcharges
it
get
it
safely
to
route
to
detention
basins
like
the
east
side
has
we
can
alleviate
the
flooding
that
comes
from
the
you
know
basement
or
the
combined
sewer
surcharging
into
people's
basements
by
trying
to
get
that
storm
water
to
go
to
basins
and
and
be
released,
you
know,
ultimately,
to
have
a
separate
pipe.
All
the
way
to
the
west
side
of
town
would
be
the
goal,
but
you
can
only
do
that
in
certain
steps.
V
So
the
idea
here
is
to
get
the
water
to
that
basin
and
then
release
it
slowly
back
into
the
combined
sewer
system.
After
the
main
storm
has
passed.
So
the
goal
is
and
that's
exactly
what
the
basins
do.
Is
they
take
that
peak?
I
I
showed
a
hydrograph
in
one
of
the
presentations
in
august.
They
take
that
peak
off
the
storm
by
storing
it
in
the
basin
and
releasing
it
slowly.
So.
The
goal
here
is
not
just
the
basin
but
also
getting
pipes
that
can
convey
that
water
to
the
basin
and
release
it
slowly.
P
Mr
jergens,
thank
you
for
for
offering
more
clarity
on
public
purpose,
and
I
wonder
my
question
has
to
do
with
that.
I
think
it's
been
established.
It
seems
like
that
homelessness,
eliminating
homelessness,
eliminating
hunger,
eliminating
slum
and
blight
dealing
with
historic
preservation
and
so
forth
seemed
to
serve
the
public
purpose.
P
Can
you
speak
to,
and,
and
perhaps
deputy
city
manager
tyus
could
weigh
in
on
this
as
well,
but
could
either
of
you
speak
to
the
idea
of
how
the
overhead
sewer
program,
given
that
it
would
be
grants
made
to
individuals
how
those
would
also
serve
the
public
purpose
and
where
that
fits
into
the
picture.
Q
Certainly
and
I'll
I'll
start
it
if
that's
all
right,
wcca
manager,
I
think
it
first
starts
because
it's
an
infrastructure
project,
so
the
I
believe
within
the
plans
of
the
city,
would
like
to.
O
W
That's
exactly
right
and
kevin
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
an
overhead
sewer
program,
I
believe,
also
helps
the
entire
drainage
system.
In
that
it
it
helps
to
direct
water
into
the
places
that
it's
supposed
to
go
it
it.
It
helps
to
improve
the
entirety
of
the
system.
I
may
not
be
saying
that
correctly.
V
Well
it
it
does
provide
relief
in
in
a
different
way
than
you
know,
like
the
detention
base
basin
would,
and
it
provides
a
in
a
lot
of
cases,
a
more
quicker.
You
know,
relief
to
the
to
the
issue
of
basement
backups.
P
Okay
promise,
just
one
would
would
something
that
affects
public
health
in
the
midst
of
a
pandemic,
when
our
hospitals
are
overloaded,
with
with
other
patients
right
they're
already
there's
already.
Pressure
on
on
hospitals
and
a
limited
number
of
beds
in
hospitals
would
something
that
improves
public
health,
be
a
public
purpose.
Arguably,.
Q
Yeah
generically,
I
think
I
think
so
I
mean
you'd-
have
to
look
at
the
details
of
specifically
what
you're
talking
about
but
generically
when
you're
talking
about
public
purpose,
you're
talking
about
things
that
are
are
for
the
public
good.
They
are.
You
know
a
lot
of
times:
public
health
related
general
welfare,
getting
people
out
of
poverty,
keeping
people
safe,
the
core
needs
of
the
city,
streets,
infrastructure,
things
like
that.
Those
are
a
lot
of
times
kind
of
the
common
public
purpose
things.
N
Yes,
this
is
a
question
for
deputy
city
manager.
Tyus
I
was.
I
was
really
interested
in
in
the
the
resources
that
you
talked
about.
You
know
that
might
provide
individuals
who
have
been
devastated
by
this
flooding
and
the
last
one-
and
I
don't
know
if
I'm
going
to
get
the
name
right,
but
it's
the
illinois
house
housing
fund,
the
sixth,
the
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
N
And
I
realize
that
you're
just
beginning
to
sort
of
explore
that
and
find
out
what
the
criteria
are
and
how
it
might
work.
But
I'm
really
wondering
in
in
your
estimation
of
looking
at
it
so
far,
would
that
be
a
fund
that
might
help
support
some
of
the
our
neighbors
from
eastgate
and
the
west
side,
who
have
spoken
so
passionately
in
these
last
few
meetings?
Would
that
be
something
that
they
could
apply
to
in
hopes
of
getting
some
support
for
the
devastation
that's
been
done
to
their
homes.
W
Well,
our
current
levels
of
funding
are
designated
for
low
income
to
very
low
income
individuals.
So
if
individuals
met
those
that
those
those
qualifications
then
absolutely
again,
a
lot
of
that
is
going
to
be
income
dependent.
Now
there
may
be
other
ida
programs,
and
I
don't
know
for
sure
maybe
melissa
does,
but
there
may
be
other
item
programs
that
we
can
investigate
to
see
if
that
might
be
a
possibility
for
other
programs.
D
I
have
a
question
for
kevin
looking
at
the
map
of
the
locus
fulton
project,
if
your
street
is
in
one
of
the
colors
that
was
on
your
chart
as
accelerating
through
the
three
four
and
five
if
your
street
is
addressed
on
that
chart
by
2024.
D
Does
that
address
the
concerns
for
that
particular
street.
R
D
D
V
O
Yeah,
I
would
I
want
to
address
some
of
the
public
funding
issues
or
questions.
O
Most
of
the
public
funding
that
was
mentioned
in
the
presentation
is
either
state
or
federal
funding
is,
is
my
understanding
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
focus
on
the
proper
leak
use
of
municipal
funding,
since
we
can't
really
print
money
locally,
and
I
have
in
front
of
me
here
some
of
the
some
of
the
I
went
and
looked
up
some
of
the
information
regarding
local
funding
and
it's,
let's
see
I'll,
read
this
little
section.
O
O
A
Thank
you
thank.
E
You
mayor
so
I'm
gonna
go
back
to
the
basin
pond
and
I
I
just
want
to
know
more
specifically
if
you
can
articulate
how
that
project
might
be
related
to
green.
E
Or
what
we
could
intend
to
experience
right
if
you
create
this
huge
swath
of
water
at
that
part
of
our
community,
and
if
you
know
it
in
light
of
a
lot
of
legislation
around
creating
green
jobs
and
looking
at
a
lot
of
really
interesting
design
metrics
in
other
communities
to
deal
with,
with
these
combined
sewer
problems
that
are
more
expedient,
less
expensive
and
environmentally
friendly,
can
you
draw
a
relationship
between
what
this
basin
can
be
and
how
it
can
be
that
a
mixture
of
that
green
and
gray
infrastructure?
That's
so
important,
yeah.
V
And
you
know
we'll,
obviously
you
know
employ
a
consultant
who
you
know
has
some
experience
with
both.
You
know
the
hydraulic,
modeling
and
also
base
and
design
and
green
infrastructure,
so
we'll
try
to
incorporate
what
components
we
can
and
you
know
a
base
and
a
surface
basin
like
this
would
be
designed
for
storm
water
to
come
to
it,
and
you
know
we
haven't
designed
the
base
and
we
don't
know
exactly
what
it
looks
like
yet,
but
you
know
there's
an
opportunity
there.
You
know.
Potentially
this
is
a
wet
bottom
basin.
V
You
know
that
could
be
a
feature
I
mean
you
know
this.
This
area
is
currently
the
you
know:
the
citizens,
convenience
center
and
a
public
works
yard,
but
you
know
potentially
is
a
amenity
just
south
of
the
library
I
mean
it.
Could
you
know
it
backs
up
to
the
trail.
It
could
be
a
nice
amenity
not
only
functioning
as
a
storm,
water
and
and
flood
control,
but
also
potentially
a
nice
amenity
to
an
area
of
town
that
frankly,
doesn't
have
that
much
for
for
a
parks
or
you
know,
a
green
space.
V
Of
course,
the
trail
is
a
great
amenity
to
town
cuts
through
there,
but
it's
it's
kind
of
stark
as
you
walk
through
an
area,
that's
mainly
kind
of
an
industrial
at
that
point,
but
we'll
certainly
look
at
out
any
opportunities
we
can
to.
You
know,
besides
it
being
somewhat
green,
to
incorporate
green
other
green
infrastructure
components
as
we
go
through
the
process.
B
I
wouldn't
go
back
to
the
detention
basin
idea
again
you
and
I
and
bob
had
a
conversation
after
the
committee,
the
whole
meeting
for
august-
and
I
said
you
know
we
need
to
understand
which
order
of
all
the
things
that
could
be
done
are
going
to
have
the
biggest
impact
in
the
shortest
amount
of
time,
and
one
of
the
things
that
you
came
back
with
was
the
detention
basin,
because,
ultimately,
the
flooding
was
caused
by
the
sheer
amount
of
water
coming
from
the
upstream
parts
of
town,
the
on
the
top
of
the
hill
pushing
down
low
right.
B
It
makes
sense
water
grows
from
high
to
low
and
then,
when
it
ran
into
an
area
where
there
was
so
much
water
there
was.
There
was
nowhere
else
for
it
to
go.
That
pressure
is
what
caused
the
back
up
into
all
the
basements
right.
So
the
idea
behind
the
detention
basin,
where
you're
talking
about
it,
the
citizens
convenience
center,
would
catch
or
give
a
different
route
for
a
lot
of
that
storm
water
to
go
by
capturing
into
the
basement
into
the
basin.
B
A
lot
of
the
basins
have
a
huge
inlet
emptying
in
there,
but
a
very
small
outlet
going
out.
So
we
change
the
pressure
and
move
the
water
out
of
the
normal
flow
and
move
it
into
an
area
where
it
can.
We
can
control
it
a
little
bit
better
right.
That's
the
basic
principle
of
what
we're
talking
about
here,
so
the
whole
area.
You
know
a
large
part
of
ward,
one.
B
Two
big
parts
are
along
the
fremont
street
area
in
sodium
and
then
along
oakland
avenue
are
in
the
route
of
the
water
routes
of
what
we're
talking
about
right
now.
So,
potentially
we
could
drain
all
the
not
all
of
it,
but
a
lot
of
the
water
into
a
usable
place
or
a
manageable
position
to
keep
it
from
backing
up
in
that
area.
That's
kind
of
the
goal.
B
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
pushing
the
hydraulic,
modeling
and
the
basin
idea
forward.
We
know
that
we
want
to
finish
locus
colton,
but
I
think
that
this
has
the
potential
to
benefit
more
homeowners
at
a
faster
pace
than
we
can
finish.
The
very
complex
work
of
cso
elimination.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
and
everybody
on
the
team
that
kind
of
brought
this
idea
forward,
because
this
is
you
know,
I've
I
did
about.
B
We've
all
been
doing
a
ton
of
research
and
reading,
and
I
shared
with
the
rest
of
city
council.
The
I
actually
found
plans
where
japan
is
having
this
exact
same
issue.
So
when
we
were
building
cso
combined,
sewer
storm
water
systems
in
the
united
states,
jaban
was
doing
the
exact
same
thing,
and
I
found
a
japanese
manual
with
diagrams
that
are
almost
exactly
identical
to
what
you
showed
us
of.
B
Why,
where
the
problems
are,
why
it
happens
and
the
detention
basin
system
is
exactly
it
was
one
of
their
primary
strategies
for
moving
water
to
where
they
could
control
it,
while
they
were
working
on
other
systems
which
we're
going
to
take
a
lot
longer
to
implement.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
work
kevin.
Thank
you.
T
Jamie
kind
of
hit
what
I
wanted
to,
and
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
for
everybody
out
here-
that's
listening.
I
know
some
were
conceptually.
You
know.
The
idea
of
the
basin
seemed
contradictory
to
what
you
wanted,
and
the
idea
that
locus
colton
is
the
full
solution,
and
it's
not
it's
a
big
part
of
the
solution,
but
the
basin
and
the
other
things
that
we
can
do
must
be
put
together
with
it
to
get
the
maximum
impact.
T
V
F
Right,
thank
you
mayor.
I
just
want
to
make
something
clear.
The
public
purpose
doctrine
is
something
in
the
illinois
constitution.
Correct,
jeff,.
F
So
if
representative
brady
is
going
to,
you
know
give
some
of
the
money
he's
allotted
for
disaster
victims
he's
got
to
make
sure
it's
a
public
purpose
right.
R
Let
me
jump
in
here,
I
I
don't
want
to
offer
any
confusion.
I
mean
there
are
guidelines
on
this
dco
grant
and
it's
infrastructure
related,
and
I
should
have
been
clear.
I
would
imagine
in
my
previous
comments,
so
that's
what
representative
brady
is
saying
anything
that's
going
to
serve
the
city
of
community
better,
but
it
has
to
be
infrastructure
related.
F
Okay,
and
so
while
I
I
like
the
idea
that
deputy
city
manager
tyus
talked
about
and
is
exploring,
I
would
not
see
why
we
could
not
individually,
as
a
city,
add
to
that
using
the
same
criteria,
because
if
it's
a
public
purpose
for
the
ihda
it
would,
it
would
also
be
a
public
purpose
for
the
city.
F
V
F
V
F
V
That's
a
little
bit
of
a
loaded
question
from
the
standpoint
that
some
of
those
neighborhoods
have
the
the
sewers
in
the
street
right.
Sometimes
it's
in
the
backyard
so
depending
on
the
phase
and
stuff
determines
whether
it's
the
backyard
sewer,
that's
being
helped
or
the
street
sites
who
are
being
held.
But
you
know
like
like
when
you
talk
about
markings
in
the
street,
that
that
typically
is
when
they're
doing
survey,
work,
picking
up
the
utilities
and
everything
for
the
design.
So.
A
Okay,
so
our
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
city
manages
the
discussion.
R
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
have
a
few
slides
welcoming
week.
I
know
that
there
was
a
proclamation
earlier
this
week
or
earlier
in
the
session,
but
wanted
to
share
that
then
also
we'll
have
a
stand
again
at
this
upcoming
saturday's
farmer's
market
next
slide
dance
classes
through
the
bloomington
parks.
I
think
deputy
city
manager
tyus,
is
signed
up
and
next
slide.
R
Animal
crackers,
education
classes
at
miller,
park,
zoo,
that's
24th
and
25th.
So
that's
two
weekends.
From
now
for
the
second
weekend
from
now
next
slide,
please
downtown
bloomington
farmers
market
again.
This
runs
saturday
morning,
7
30
to
12
o'clock,
well
attended
a
lot
of
appreciation
from
the
residents
and
the
vendors
that
are
represented.
R
I
try
to
go
there.
Often
myself
next
slide.
Please
tour
the
chocolate
that's
coming
up
this
friday
and
also
have
incorporated
and
in
memory
of
mayor
markowitz
and
mayor
buchanan,
now
with
their
recent
passing
next
slide.
R
Please-
and
I
think
the
other
thing
that
I'll
say
additionally
is
you
know,
I'm
sorry
saturday
was
9
11.,
it's
this
generations,
pearl
harbor,
and
just
remembering
all
those
that
have
been
affected
by
that
there's
many
stories
right
here
in
bloomington
illinois
and
a
very
nice
event
out
at
the
corn
crib
commemorating
the
20th
anniversary.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Next
item
on
the
agenda
is
mayor's
discussion
and
I
want
to
reiterate
the
9
11
event
that
I
attended
at
the
corn
crib.
It
was
a
great
opportunity
to
say
thank
you
not
only
to
those
first
responders
in
the
community,
but
as
well
as
the
remember,
commemorate
the
individuals
who
lost
their
lives
on
that
tragic
day,
so
it
was
a
great
event.
A
The
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
to
mention
is
that
I'm
continuing
to
look
at
applicants
for
ward
6.,
and
by
that
I
mean
that
I'm
reviewing
all
of
the
information
that
I've
received,
that
I
had
an
opportunity
to
interview
all
of
them
and
I
certainly
appreciate
their
their
willingness
to
to
step
up,
because
it's
not
easy
to
be
in
the
public
layer
and
I
may
reach
out
to
two
candidates.
N
I
would
just
like
to
say
this
sunday
on
the
19th
of
september
for
first
baptist
church
is
by
bringing
catherine
harris
who
is
a
harriet,
tubman
reenactor
for
presentation
at
three
o'clock.
N
She
is
a
nationally
known
speaker
we'll
be
at
gettysburg
later
this
fall,
I
was
invited,
and
I
would
I
would
like
to
reach
out
to
any
other
council
members
who
would
be
interested
in
going
on.
Please
contact
me,
and
I
can
tell
you
more
about
it.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
wonderful
event.
So
thank
you.
O
So
I
thought
that
was
really
great
and
the
main
purpose
of
the
farmers
market
was
just
to
make
public
awareness
about
welcoming
america
what
it's
about
and
to
showcase
the
community
coalition
of
churches
and
other
social
agencies,
the
immigration
project,
the
people
that
have
feet
on
the
ground
and
have
been
working
with
the
immigrants
over
the
years
and
specifically
with
the
challenge
of
covet.
O
So
that
was
the
purpose
of
the
this
past
on
saturday
and
this
coming
saturday
at
the
farmers
market.
Now,
during
this
week,
saturday,
no
tuesday
and
wednesday,
there
will
be
a
free
cpr
course
on
tuesday
it'll
be
in
spanish
and
on
wednesday,
it'll
be
in
french,
be
held
at
the
community
health
care
clinic
in
normal.
On
thursday,
the
16th
there's
going
to
be
an
ice
cream
social
at
the
immigration
project
normal
on
the
17th.
O
There
will
be
a
virtual
immigration,
trivia
and,
let's
say,
and
then
on
saturday,
the
18th.
In
addition
to
the
farmer's
market,
there
will
be
an
illinois
illinois,
wesleyan,
university
language
and
cultural
festival
at
the
illinois,
wesleyan
university
quad.
I
can't
take
credit
for
any
of
this.
These
are
all
from
the
community
coalition.
O
That's
doing
all
the
work,
and
I
also
went
to
the
my
first
mclean
county,
behavioral
health
coordinating
council
meeting
and
I'm
just
really
impressed
with
all
the
different
initiatives
they're
putting
forward
district
87
is
going
to
have
what
they
call
a
wraparound
program
to
meet
the
needs
not
only
of
the
children
but
also
the
family
put
them
together,
because
that's
where
the
solution
is
the
entire
family
heartland
community
college
is
training
peer
resources
because
people
that
have
gone
through
and
have
experienced
mental
illness
or
trauma,
or
whatever
are
the
best
to
understand
to
talk
to
people
and
then
there's
a
another.
O
It's
called
cat,
and
that
too,
is
a
team
effort
to
meet
the
needs
of,
I
believe,
10
to
18
year
old
children
within
the
school
and
to
keep
them
out
of
the
criminal
justice
system.
O
And
mclean
county
ems
was
present
specifically
talking
about
the
interaction
between
the
police
and
people
with
mental
illness.
They
are
very
much
aware
of
the
successful
legislations,
that's
coming
down
the
pike
and
they
are
working
on
the
details
and
what
else?
Oh,
that's
all
in
that's
in
addition
to
the
virtual
forum,
that's
held
six
times,
there'll
be
six
sessions.
O
This
addition
to
the
fuse
program,
triage
center
trauma
informed
initiative
and
there
will
be
a
neuro
restorative
school
it'll
be
coming
down
the
pike
on
the
agenda
located
at
fox,
creek
and
veterans.
Parkway
it'll
be
coming
before
the
council
in
a
couple
weeks.
I
believe
so
a
lot
going
on.
We
should
be
proud
of
mclean
county.
It's
ahead
of
the
curve.
E
Thank
you
mayor
just
to
to
continue
the
theme
of
being
ahead
of
the
curve.
Last
weekend
was
probably
the
the
biggest
cultural
series
of
events.
I've
ever
seen
in
this
community
with
make
music
normal
in
the
black
dirt
festival
got
a
little
bit
of
both
and
it
was
it
was
really
pleasurable.
E
I
just
want
to
say
quickly
to
let
everyone
know
if
you
don't
already
that
october
9th
is
the
ecology
action,
center's
annual
household
hazardous
waste
collection,
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
take
care
of
things
that
are
hazardous
in
your
homes
and
there's
they're,
not
asking
for
donations
this
year.
E
They
are
looking
for
volunteers,
however,
to
help
guide
the
traffic
and
you
can
sign
up
by
appointment
only
and
just
to
make
sure
that
the
traffic
can
be
regulated
and
that
worked
really
well
in
the
last
iteration
to
prevent
long
waits,
don't
bring
your
latex
pla
paint
and
the
it's
possible
with
a
partnership
with
the
illinois
epa,
the
city
of
bloomington,
town
of
normal
mclean,
county
and
binward,
and
it's
just
a
good
example
of
what
we
can
do
to
if,
if
we
work
in
collaboration
across
all
of
our
municipalities.
P
Yes,
I'd
just
like
to
remind
everyone,
especially
those
who
were
interested
in
the
discussion
on
o'neill
park
and
poole,
that
we
do
have
a
meeting
kind
of
an
open
house
on
thursday
evening
from
5
to
6
30
p.m.
P
At
the
o'neill
park,
gazebo
in
case
of
rain
it'll
be
in
the
white
oak
park
community
room,
but
the
idea
is
to
have
some
city
officials
there
to
answer
some
questions
and
give
updates
on
what
is
going
on
in
terms
of
phases
of
construction
and
so
forth.
So
please
put
that
on
your
calendar.
If
you
have
any
interest
at
all
in
o'neill
park
and
pool.
F
Thank
you
mayor.
As
many
of
you
may
know.
Recently,
the
in
the
illinois
department
of
transportation
released
data
on
traffic
stops
and
pedestrian
stops
for
all
law
enforcement
in
illinois,
and
the
one
of
the
statistics
for
bloomington
police
department
was
that
for
traffic
stops,
a
black
person
was
6.2
times
more
likely
to
be
stopped
than
a
white
person.
So
this
is
a
little
bit
higher
than
it
was
last
year.
I'm
sure
some
of
it's
covered
related
it's
a
little
bit
higher
than
the
state
average.
F
It's
just
a
number
that
needs
to
be
analyzed,
but
this
thursday,
as
well
at
seven
o'clock,
the
naacp,
is
having
a
town
hall.
It's
going
to
be
virtual
and
I
can
share
that
if
it's
on
my
facebook
page,
if
you
want
details
of
that,
I
also
believe
the
pscrb
is
looking
at
that
they're
going
to
work
with
our
department
just
to
make
sure
that
if
there's
anything
that
needs
to
be
changed,
you
know
we
can
change
it.
So
that's
it.
B
Thanks
mayor,
so
I
just
want
to
share
saturday.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
have
a
long
conversation
with
two
workers
from
well
when
they
started
it
was
bike,
and
then
it
was
nestle
bike.
Then
it
was
nestle
and
now
it's
ferraro
and
they
both
worked
there
over
30
years,
each
and
just
it
was.
B
It
was
really
interested
to
hear
from
a
line
worker
how
excited
they
were
about
all
the
changes
that
are
coming
out
there
and
the
new
plant
they
actually
haven't
broke
ground,
yet
so
just
what's
happening
inside
of
the
plant
and
the
excitement
inside
of
the
plant
just
under
the
new
ownership.
So
I
just
wanted
to
share
that.
B
That
was
pretty
interesting
and
the
second
thing
I
wanted
to
say
is:
I
just
wanted
to
say
publicly
thank
you
to
my
wife
for
being
very
generous,
because
today
is
our
anniversary,
and
this
is
the
second
time
I've
had
a
city
council
meeting
on
the
night
of
our
anniversary.
So
thank
you
sweetie.
I
love
you.
A
Our
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
executive
session
and
if
I
could
get
a
emotion
for
us
to
enter
into

session

two
of
c
one
of

to
discuss

matter.
C

and
also
just
to
specify
jeff
did
ask
me
to
clarify
that
it
is
for
compensation
and
review
of
a
specific
employee.
C
All
