Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
B
C
C
D
C
Well
it
well,
I
mean
you,
obviously,
a
trustee
ward.
You
can
do
whatever
you
like,
but
we
it
would
not
be
automatically
assumed
unless
you
found
something
that
you
were
concerned
about,
that
you
had
to
remove
yourself,
but
that's
if
you'd
like,
if
you
feel
more
comfortable,
we
can
do
it.
However,
you
want.
This
is
no.
D
C
I
I
think
we
know
that
and
given
your
comments,
we
appreciate
your
honesty.
That's
meritorious
of
a
member
of
the
clergy
by
the
way.
At
this
point,
is
there
a
a
motion
to
approve
a
council
member
excuse
me
trustee,
bolan
and
trustee
painter.
I
see
fingers
in
the
air
and
they're,
not
a
single
digit,
so
I'm
assuming
they're
not
mad
at
me.
So
at
this
point,
madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
role
to
approve
the
consent
agenda
as
presented.
E
E
E
C
C
F
C
G
I
would
also
like
to
make
a
comment.
This
is
definitely
if
you
note
on
the
public
meeting
for
2021
for
the
township
on
december,
the
very
last
we
put
december
13th
or
20th,
because
we
don't
know
yet
what
the
city
is
planning
on
doing.
C
C
E
E
C
C
F
E
A
C
G
Okay,
township
covid
update
our
numbers
are
still
fairly
low.
We
do
have
a
moratorium
in
place
for
ameren.
G
We
are
seeing
some
some
cases
of
eviction,
notices
or
at
least
extremely
high
fees,
because
clients
are
unable
to
pay
due
to
no
job
and
so
they're
tacking
on
a
lot
of
fees.
We're
sending
all
of
those
individuals
that
we're
seeing
that
to
prairie
state
legal
for
their
advice,
because
I'm
sure
that
they
can
work
something
out
from
a
legal
perspective
to
fight
that
uphill
battle,
and
I
foresee
that
that's
going
to
occur
more
and
more
as
the
months
go
on.
G
G
G
I'm
not
sure
if
I
responded
to
this
last
month,
but
most
most
of
the
cases
are
now
going
to
the
city
for
help
and
that's
the
next
step
to
using
federal
funds
and
then
once
that
is
exhausted,
there
will
be
emergency
solution
funds
from
from
path
which
mid-century,
no
sorry
which
home
sweet
home
ministries
will
operate
and
administrate
sorry
and
then
we'll
still
have
our
funds
available
for
the
serp
program,
which
is
the
community
emergency
response
program.
G
H
You've
seen
my
report,
the
graph
just
states,
the
number
of
appeals
we've
had
over
the
past
few
years,
and
the
number
of
appeals
was
down
this
year.
The
the
assumption
in
the
early
part
of
the
year
would
be
high,
but
it
looks
like
everything
in
this
year
is
different,
so
they
trended
downward.
C
Thank
you
very
much
any
questions
of
mr
scott.
Oh
I'm
sorry
trustee
bolin.
I
I
have
I
have
a
question
for
miss
gilroyd.
Is
she
mentioned?
I
G
Mute
all
right.
Sorry,
I
actually
was
off
mute
and
then
turned
it.
I
mean
was
on
mute
and
I
mean
forget
it:
okay,
trusty
bolan,
the
fees
are
directly
associated
to
them,
not
making
their
late
payments
and
they're
they're,
saying
that
it's
five
dollars
a
day
for
every
day
that
they're
not
being
they're
not
paying
their
monthly
rent,
and
specifically
one
case
that
I'm
familiar
with,
is
that
the
landlord
is
charging
that
much.
G
G
J
C
A
K
Yes,
I
couldn't
actually
find
a
copy
of
the
agenda,
so
I
was
unable
to
actually
say
whether
or
not
I'm
sorry.
I
wasn't
able
to
say
whether
or
not
exactly
what
my
issue
was,
but
my
current
issue
had
to
do
with
the
actual
current
rising
rates
of
infection
of
covet
and
the
overall
situation.
C
Look,
thank
you
very
much
just
to
clarify
this
is
the
township
meeting,
which
is
a
different
governmental
body
than
the
city,
but
if
you
wanted
to
to
contact
any
of
us
feel
free
to
do
so
or
the
clerk's
office.
Thank
you
at
this
point.
Is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn.
C
C
Okay,
madam
clerk,
can
you
hear
me.
C
L
L
B
L
C
Okay,
all
right
at
this
point
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
to
our
distinguished
city
manager,
tim
gleason.
N
Just
a
couple
mayor,
thank
you
and
council.
N
Three
coveted
related
updates
wanted
to
share
that
the
cdbg
round,
two
of
money
that
we
received
into
the
tune
of
546
thousand
dollars
that
will
come
back
to
council
on
december
7th
in
the
form
of
a
public
hearing,
and
then
council
will
have
that
as
an
agenda
item
to
vote
on
december
14th
and
what
we've
done
and
we've
talked
about
this,
but
we've
increased
the
actual
amount
for
business
grants
from
4
500
to
5,
000
and
individual
assistance
is
built
into
there
as
well
and
as
we
heard
in
the
township
meeting
previously,
we
are
being
contacted
as
the
first
point
of
contact
as
some
of
the
funds
have
been
exhausted
at
the
at
the
different
levels.
N
Community
number
two:
this
past
weekend,
bloomington
police
department
has
continued
doing
enforcement
for
non-compliance
for
several
months.
But,
unlike
what
we
saw
two
weekends
ago,
this
past
weekend
was
relatively
quiet.
We
had
five
calls
that
bloomington
police
department
responded
to,
none
of
which
were
downtown
only
one
of
those.
There
was
a
non-compliance
report
that
was
completed
and
forwarded
to
the
health
department
and
then,
lastly,
a
community
fyi,
the
emergency
order,
that's
held
at
my
level.
N
C
C
We
move
on
to
recognitions
and
appointments
and
we
have
a
proclamation
recognizing
november
28
2020
as
small
business
saturday,
as
requested
by
the
administration,
and
I
just
want
to
read
this
proclamation.
Do
we
have
someone,
mr
gleeson,
a
romantic
clerk?
Do
we
have
do
we
know
if
someone
is
here
to
accept?
Oh.
C
C
Here,
sorry
about
that,
oh
oh,
oh,
I
thought.
I'm
sorry
that
I
thought
member
bowlin
was
like
hiding
her
face
because
she
was
ashamed
because
I
didn't
remember,
but
thank
you
donna
at
this
point
in
recognition
of
small
business
saturday
november
28th
2020.
That's
this
coming
saturday
and
as
usual,
there
are
a
whole
bunch
of
whereases.
C
Thank
you
very
much
at
this
point,
madam
clerk,
we
are
shifting
to
public
comment.
I
know
we've
had
some
via
email,
you
want
to
read
those
and
anyone
else
who's
online
prepared
to
comment.
Thank
you.
A
Yes,
thank
you.
So
we
had
four
individuals
send
emailed
public
comment.
That
was
sarah
greenberg
seth
mcintyre,
creighton,
budres
and
chyna
miller,
and
we
have,
I
believe,
six
that
are
online
and
ready
to
speak.
C
C
Actually,
up
to
three
minutes,
but
no
more,
madam
port.
O
Yes,
can
you
hear
me
allen?
Go
ahead
all
right!
So,
on
november
10th
an
activist
group
called
central
illinois
news,
a
member
organization
of
no
ammon
shutoffs
released
a
video
explaining
the
dire
circumstances
and
the
struggle
of
our
campaign.
O
We
are
now
49
member
organizations
strong
and
counting
on
november
11th,
a
member
of
one
of
the
no
american
shutoffs
organizations
asked
mayor,
tyree
renner
to
stop
utility
shutoffs,
which
he
responded
to
as
yes.
On
november
12th
councilman
jeff
crable
submitted
an
initiative
for
the
bloomington
city
council
to
begin
to
address
utility
shutoffs
on
november
16th.
O
You
all
on
the
bloomington
city
council,
voted
unanimously
to
approve
the
initiative
in
recognition
of
utility
shutoffs
as
a
pandemic
safety
issue.
Although
we've
passed
resolutions
in
multiple
counties
throughout
political
party
bodies,
you
were
the
first
municipal
government
to
provide
an
official
gesture
outside
of
champaign
county.
That
makes
a
difference.
O
The
next
day
on
november,
17th,
research
from
noam
and
shutoffs
was
published,
and
the
media
began
to
ask
governor
pritzker
about
his
financial
ties
to
power
utilities
in
the
state,
including
ameren
illinois,
wednesday
november
18th,
aaron,
illinois,
commonwealth
edison
and
people's
gas.
All
ceased
disconnections
ameren
even
claims
that
this
was
because
the
temperature
was
in
the
30s,
yet
the
24-hour
forecast,
which
is
the
only
forecast
relevant
for
the
state
statute
throughout
the
state,
was
in
the
40s
and
thursday
november
19th
was
in
the
60s.
O
O
The
underbelly
of
illinois
politics
is
not
so
difficult
to
overpower,
as
some
progressives
in
their
sphere
have
suggested.
All
it
takes
is
for
people
who
care
to
act,
and
for
that
I
say
thank
you,
unfortunately,
for
the
state
of
illinois,
water
shutoffs
continue
by
the
corporation
known
as
illinois
american
water.
O
O
The
last
thing
that
bloomington
city
council
can
do
is
to
advocate
for
the
mclean
county
board
or
the
public
health
district
to
use
their
emergency
services
and
disaster
agency
act
power
to
restore
public
utility
service,
as
enumerated
in
the
illinois,
emergency
services
and
disaster
act.
If
they
do
not.
The
only
other
thing
that
you
can
do
as
a
body
is
to
adopt
the
emergency
services
and
disaster
act,
which
springfield
has
which
jacksonville
has
which
peoria
has
which
champaign
has
and
which
urbana
has.
C
You
very
much
al
I
just
we
normally
don't
respond
to
have
a
response.
I
just
want
to
clarify
for
the
record
that
I
did
talk
to
the
mayor
of
urbana
a
few
days
ago
about
this
very
matter
and
other
things
and
people
from
the
illinois
municipal
league.
It
is
while
we
can
propose
resolutions,
we
do
not,
and
it's
possible
that
actually
the
govern
governor
may
not
have
the
authority
to
suspend
utility
shutoffs
as
unfortunate
as
that
is
just
fyi.
Madam
clerk.
Next,
please.
P
Thank
you,
mayor,
renner
and
members
of
the
council,
I'm
here
tonight
to
address
you
briefly
in
support
of
the
proposed
welcoming
cities
ordinance,
so
I'm
originally
from
living
to
normal,
but
I
I
moved
away
and
back
several
times
over
the
course
of
my
life
so
far,
and
I
just
recently
moved
back
here
what
I
think
is
for
good
from
texas,
and
so,
although
this
ordinance
has
been
under
consideration
for
quite
some
time,
I
think
there's
no
time
like
the
president
to
be
clear
about
my
support
for
it.
P
So
I
read
the
ordinance
with
my
lawyer
hat
and
I
don't
see
a
credible
argument
against
it.
I
also
read
it
with
my
non-lawyer
personal
hat
and
I
found
it
equally
convincing.
So
of
course,
most
of
us
are
immigrants
if
we
trace
our
lineage
back
far
enough,
but
also
this
ordinance
means
something
personal
to
me
for
for
two
additional
reasons.
P
I
married
into
a
family
that
is
more
recently
emigrated
than
my
own
and
is
identifiable
by
skin
color.
So,
to
be
frank,
my
in-laws
have
dealt
with
a
lot
of
fear
and
threats
over
the
last
several
years,
and
I
also
spent
several
days
in
2018
offering
pro
bono
legal
services
to
asylum
seekers
in
texas,
and
so
while
we
aren't
necessarily
talking
about
asylees,
I
think
the
experience
is
apropos
here.
So
I
want
to
share
a
little
bit
of
that
with
you
all.
P
Let
alone
try
to
describe
that
that
level
of
horror
that
they
experienced
in
their
lives-
and
these
are,
of
course,
our
brothers
and
sisters
and
they're
also
our
neighbors
here
in
bloomington
normal,
and
I
think
now
is
the
time
that
we
must
be
unequivocal
in
our
support
for
our
local
immigrant
community,
especially
in
this
season
of
gratitude
and
giving
and
a
season
that
celebrates
the
birth
of
an
immigrant
infant.
P
L
G
Q
Donna's
accusation
that
advocates
of
the
welcoming
cities
ordinance
have
been
using
fear-mongering
techniques
is
evidence
that
she
enjoys
a
privilege
that
the
immigrants
in
our
community
do
not
for
those
community
members.
It
is
a
reality
not
an
exaggeration,
that
their
livelihood
is
threatened
by
local
law
enforcement,
maintaining
a
relationship
with
ice.
I
don't
understand
how
donna
expects
the
cooperation
of
immigrants
in
our
community
without
an
ordinance
protecting
them
from
potential
for
harm.
It
is
insulting
to
our
immigrant
neighbors
for
donna
to
employ.
We
do
not
need
this
protection.
Q
Q
Sorry
illinois
people's
action
before
they
helped
bring
the
first
proposal
that
the
council
adopt
a
welcoming
city's
ordinance
executive
director
of
ipa.
Don
carlson
is
quoted
as
saying
as
much
as
the
bloomington
police
said.
It
wasn't
an
issue.
It
was
an
issue
through
emails
obtained
by
the
freedom
of
information
act.
Ipa
found
several
conversations
between
the
bloomington
police
department
and
ice
dating
back
to
2015,
to
include
particular
instances
where
bpd
sent
ice
information
on
citizens
that
had
not
committed
a
crime.
Q
I
doubt
the
community
members
involved
in
these
events
would
support
donna's
admittance
of
a
protective
ordinance.
I
also
have
questions
for
council
member
council
member
bray
about
her
opinion
of
the
welcoming
america
initiative.
I
want
to
know
how
an
immigrant
who
is
new
to
our
community
can
benefit
from
anything.
A
welcoming
america
platform
has
to
offer
if
they
are
in
fear
of
the
violence
perpetrated
by
ice.
The
welcoming
america
proposal
sounds
nice
and
that's
all.
It
is
a
facade
for
real
sanctuary
and
it
is
a
poor
replacement
for
what
your
community
members
are
asking
for.
Q
I
would
like
to
cite
that
request
by
your
community
members
as
quoted
in
that
vedette
article
again,
where
the
public
information
officer,
john
furman,
is
quoted
as
saying
the
issue
drew
local
attention
and
bloomington
residents
came
in
large
numbers
to
city
council
meetings
to
support
the
ordinance
council
member
bray.
I'm
curious
why
you
can
acknowledge
that
ice
has
committed
egregious
activities,
but
you
did
not
support
cutting
ties
with
them.
Q
It
is
suspicious
to
me
that
you
would
talk
about
them
being
bad
guys,
but
not
use
your
power
to
stop
them
from
hurting
your
community
members.
I
suspect
ulterior
motives.
What
are
they?
It
is
insulting
to
immigrants
in
our
community
and
to
me
that
you
claim
your
body
does
not
have
authority
to
pass
this
ordinance
when
you
clearly
do.
Q
Why
are
you
on
the
bloomington
city
council,
if
you're
going
to
say
let
the
feds
handle
it
about
an
issue
you
absolutely
have
leverage
over
and
finally
I
reference
again
the
vedette
quote
in
reference
to
council
member
matthew,
saying
he
has
not
heard
from
our
community.
Thank.
C
You
very
much
sorry,
catherine
next,
madam
part,.
R
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
council.
My
name
is
trayvon
gaffney.
I
am
here
also
to
speak
in
support
of
a
welcoming
city
ordinance
and
talk
about
the
welcoming
america
ordinance.
Our
welcome
welcoming
america
initiative.
Miss
alvarez
last
week,
told
you
how
people
throughout
the
state
have
already
come
together
to
determine
the
best
way
to
help
immigrants
in
communities
where
they
feel
like
they
are
not
being
properly
supported.
R
R
If
this
council
wishes
to
uphold
this
notion
that
our
community
cares
about
the
immigrants
in
its
community,
then
we
need
to
listen
to
them
when
they
speak.
It
would
be
more
offensive
to
act
like
we
want
to
help
immigrant
communities
than
to
do
nothing
for
them.
So
if
you
plan
to
put
words
and
niceties
into
action,
then
we
have
to
do
something
more
than
passiving.
Passing
a
welcome
welcoming
america
initiative.
R
We
have
to
stop
ice
from
being
able
to
communicate
with
bloomington
police
department
officers.
I've
stated
once
before
I
will
say
it
again:
it
is
an
egregious
waste
of
municipal
funds
to
spend
any
of
them
on
a
well-funded
organization.
Ice
is
a
well-funded
organization
that
makes
no
sense
that
we
would
in
any
way
need
to
help
them
more
than
the
last
administration,
and
many
special
interest
groups
are
already
helping
them.
R
There
is
nothing
in
our
city
that
represents
this
idea
that
we
should
keep
ourselves
safe
and
not
consider
those
that
have
come
into
this
community
seeking
refuge
seeking
assistance
seeking
asylum,
whatever
their
situation.
Is.
I
very
much
implore
every
member
of
this
council
to
think
about
the
privilege
upon
which
they
get
to
sit
on
this
council,
make
decisions
and
go
through
their
daily
lives
safely.
R
S
Hi,
so
I
would
also
like
to
speak
in
support
of
the
welcoming
cities
ordinance
that
has
been
discussed.
I've
of
course,
heard
a
lot
of
people's
opinions
on
this
particular
issue,
but
I
want
to
talk
first
about
evidence.
S
S
One
of
the
factors
to
be
considered
in
having
a
welcoming
cities
ordinance
is
that
it
helps
promote
cooperation
with
our
local
law
enforcement
agencies.
Among
the
people
who
live
here
and
residents,
especially
immigrants
then,
are
then
going
to
be
more
likely
to
report
crimes
to
the
police
to
come
forward
as
witnesses
with
the
police
to
even
report
their
own
victimization
to
the
police,
and
this
in
turn
fosters
more
trust
between
the
community
and
our
local
police
agencies
and
more
broadly
makes
us
safer
as
a
community.
S
I
do
research
on
police
and
police
community
relationships
myself,
so
I
think
this
is
incredibly
important.
Studies
on
crime
rates
in
cities
with
these
ordinances
have
found
either
a
null
effect,
so
crime
rates
really
have
not
changed
at
all
or
an
effect
where
some
crime
rates
actually
decreased,
specifically
for
property
crimes.
Evidence
also
shows
that
diversity
helps
the
economy.
S
I
know
people
also
have
a
lot
of
opinions
about
the
necessity
of
such
an
ordinance
here,
but
having
a
welcoming
cities,
ordinance
in
place
does
more
than
just
provide
a
solution
when
it
comes
to
cooperation
with
ice
on
undocumented
immigration.
It
shows
that
we
value
this
entire
community
and
every
single
person
who
lives
here.
Thank
you.
A
Mayor,
that's
the
last
of
our
public
comment
for
this
evening.
I
did
have
a
list
of
three
people
who
had
registered
but
are
not
present
present
in
the
meeting.
That's
crystal
abell
chyna
miller
and
john
reed.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
Next
to
our
consent
agenda
under
item
number,
eight,
any
items
that
any
member
of
the
city
council
would
like
to
have
removed
from
the
consent
agenda
for
separate
consideration.
Council
member
carrillo.
M
Yeah
I'd
like
to
remove
f,
please.
C
C
M
Yes,
I
think
that
we
could
benefit
from
a
little
bit
more
time
working
on
this,
based
on
some
letters
that
were
received
since
the
last
time
that
we
discussed
this.
So
I
want
to
make
a
motion
that
we
tabled
this
until
the
december
14th
meeting.
C
Okay
is
that
a
second
council
member
ward?
Okay,
I
did
have
council
member
matthew
who
had
his
hand
up
before.
I
called
the
role
on
this
or
debate
jamie.
F
C
Thank
you
very
much
any
other
comments
about
the
motion
to
refrain
this
till
the
next
meeting.
Oh
excuse
me,
council,
member
emig.
T
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
I
too
have
received
a
lot
of
communication
about
this
initiative
and
I
want
to
just
reiterate
that
a
lot
of
constituents
really
like
that
we're
moving
towards
this
zoning
provision,
but
have
some
concerns
about
the
permitted
versus
special
use,
and
I
think,
there's
just
an
opportunity
to
to
come
to
some
agreement
about
where
which
way
to
go
forward.
C
Sorry,
thank
you
councilman
emig.
I
apologize
no
one
else,
I'm
adam
clark,
then,
would
you
call
the
role
for
the
motion
made
by
councilmember
carrillo
to
postpone
this.
E
C
Motion
carried
no
names
to
announce
madam
clerk,
and
we
did
note
council
member
matthew
that
you
had
abstained.
We
moved
next
to
the
regular
agenda
and
this
is
under
item
9a,
consideration
and
action
on
a
resolution
awarding
the
request
for
proposal.
I'm
gonna
read
that
you
know
2021-17
for
the
fiscal
year,
2020
tax
exempt
capital
equip
equipment
lease
to
clayton
holdings.
C
N
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
Scott
rathbun
finance
director
is
going
to
have
a
quick
presentation,
but
one
thing
that
I'll
note.
This
is
business
that
we
do
every
single
year
and
but
one
thing
that
we've
done
the
last
couple
of
years
is
we're
trying
to
transition
out
of
leasing
as
much
as
we
had
in
the
past.
And
that's
something
of
note.
I
think
scott's
going
to
comment
to
that,
but
it's
a
position
that
we're
trying
to
put
ourselves
in
financially
and
think
that
it's
the
better
approach
and
councils
in
the
past.
U
Thank
you
tim.
I
really
don't
have
a
presentation
this
evening.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
couple
of
comments.
This
is
a
recurring
agenda
item
each
fall
that
we
do
we've
been
doing
since
roughly
2012.
I
have
to
look
at
the
memo.
I've
forgotten
the
exact
date
where
we've
been
utilizing
the
capital
lease
to
fund
our
rolling
equipment
stock
in
2020
we
strategically
allocated
about
a
half
million
dollars
of
cash
purchases
to
begin
that
process
of
of
weaning
ourselves
off
of
financing
for
this
purpose,
2021
was
649.
U
U
U
U
We
go
for
the
financing
the
year
after
we
made
the
purchases
so
that
we
know
the
exact
amount
that
we
want
to
borrow
on
the
capital
lease
in
the
past
there's
been
times
where
we've
set
up
the
lease
ahead
of
time
and
we've
basically
overborrowed
and
had
to
fund
that
or
pay
that
debt
service
back
on
dollars
that
we
did
not
need
and
then,
along
with
that
process,
we
know
we're
going
to
do
that.
U
So
we
make
assumptions
when
we're
going
into
the
next
budget
year
and
we
build
the
debt
service
into
the
budget
year
for
the
funding.
So
with
this
year
I
don't
have
the
exact
rates
in
front
of
us,
but
I
know
they're
much
higher
than
0.85
percent
and
1.25
percent
that
we
utilize
utilize
for
the
fy
21
budget
for
these
purchases
made
in
20,
but
we
should
realize
some
savings
in
the
21
budget
related
to
that.
U
That's
it
and
I'll
take
any
questions.
Now,
if
you
have
any.
C
Oh
councilmember
matthew
thanks
mayor.
F
The
most
vocal
about
getting
rid
of
these
leases
over
the
years.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
on
this
chart:
that's
in
the
packet
there
were
rates
for
five
year
and
ten
year.
What
were
you
looking
at?
You
wanted
to
do
this
year?
Were
you
looking
at
the
tenure,
or
I
mean
where
I
guess
I
I
didn't
quite
understand
what
we
were
saying
in
the
packet.
Okay,.
U
We
split
the
purchases
basically
and
they're
based
on
useful
life,
so
most
of
our
purchases
fall
under
the
five-year
useful
life
category
so
of
the
4.3
million
dollars.
Roughly
we
have
three
million
dollars
allocated
to
the
five-year
there's,
there's
an
equipment
list
or
schedule
as
part
of
the
memo
in
the
packet,
and
so
the
only
component
on
the
10-year
is
the
police,
portable
mobile
and
car
radios.
U
F
F
F
You
know
for
the
entire
city,
so
thank
you
for
all
your
work
to
to
start
heading
us
down
that
path.
I
appreciate
it.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
matthew
at
this
point,
then,
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
proposed
resolution?
C
C
E
O
C
Motion
carry
no
names
to
announce.
Madam
clerk
would
go
to
the
next
item
and
that
is
item
nine
b,
as
in
boy
consideration,
an
action,
a
resolution
authorizing
waiting
and
technical
bidding
requirements
and
approving
an
agreement
with
invoice
cloud
and
company,
and
we
have
a
presentation
that
by
our
city
manager
and
scott
scott
rathbun
again
in
about
a
15-minute
council
discussion.
So
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
our
city
manager.
Mr
gleason.
N
Thank
you
mayor
and
council,
scott
and
craig
macbeth
is
director
going
to
present,
and
this
is
going
to
be
about
a
15-minute
presentation
with
15
minutes
comments
from
council,
but
I
know
I
sent
some
prep
material
to
council
on
city
manager
update,
but
this
is
an
exciting
project
and
it's
one
that
we
want
to
talk
through.
N
We
do
need
resolution
approved
by
council
if
that's
your
desire,
but
want
to
share,
what's
coming
next,
more
so
with
community.
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
scott.
You
were
craig
going
first.
U
It's
not
numbers
driven,
it's
not
exactly
my
wheelhouse,
but
I'm
gonna
give
it
a
shot.
So
can
you
bring
up
the
presentation?
Please.
U
Okay,
thank
you,
as
jim
said,
we're
excited
to
present
this
bill
and
payment
interface
platform.
This
evening,
finance
and
I
t
and
public
works
have
been
looking
for
years
for
a
solution
to
address
a
lot
of
the
manual
workflows
inefficiencies
we
have
primarily
in
utility
billing.
This
is
this
is
something
we
want
to
apply
city-wide
as
city-wide
applications,
but
I'm
going
to
speak
be
speaking
primarily
to
its
applications
towards
utility
billing
this
evening.
U
U
So
before
we
launch
into
that,
though,
I
wanted
to
make
one
comment:
first,
that
if
this
is
approved,
the
utilization
of
this
system
by
our
residents
will
be
strictly
voluntary,
so
no
one's
going
to
be
forced
to
go
paperless
or
to
pay
via
credit
card
or
some
other
electronic
trans
transaction
method.
So
I
wanted
to
make
that
perfectly
clear
before
we
start
so
next
slide.
Please.
U
Thank
you
invoice
cloud.
It
started
in
in
2009,
they
have
about
2
100
clients
and
in
2019
they
processed
over
13
billion
dollars
in
e-transactions.
You
can
see
in
that
first
line.
It
says
invoice
provides
a
complete,
secure,
electronic
bill,
presentment
and
payment
solution.
Well
what
that
means?
It's
it's!
It's
a
digital
platform,
it
it
sits
kind
of
on
top
of
our
financial
accounting
system,
tyler
munis,
which
we're
going
through
a
major
conversion,
a
utility
billing
conversion.
Now
so
it
would.
This
voice
cloud
would
be
populated
by
our
building
system.
U
So
it
would
include
all
the
building
data
for
all
the
residents
of
the
city,
whether
it
was
utilized
or
not,
and
then
kind
of
jumping
down
to
the
bottom
and
some
of
the
features
you
know
saving
time
and
costs,
it's
it's
really
designed
to
promote,
self-service
and
and
and
promote
paperless
receipt
of
bills,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
efficiencies
to
be
in
cost
savings
to
be
made
for
the
city
in
that
regard,
and
it
also
provides
to
the
consumer
a
pay
whenever,
wherever
ability
that
we
don't
currently
have
pay
by
tax
pay
by
web
set
up
schedules
for
payments,
multiple
payments
within
one
month
in
case
you,
you
want
to
spread
your
payment
over
a
couple
of
different
paychecks
for
the
city.
U
U
This
is
kind
of
the
typical
spread
of
payments,
but
a
lot
of
these
processes
are
diff
with
different
banks
and,
and
we
have
to
upload
that
information
into
the
system
and
post
it
to
our
utility
account
so
credit
cards,
bank
debits,
walk-ins,
the
lock
boxes,
checks
mailed
in
so
there's
no
centralized
platform
to
capture
these
payments
and
automatically
apply
them
to
accounts
solution
needed
I've
kind
of
covered.
This
address
these
manual
workflows,
provide
efficiency,
community
sort
of
modernize
that
that
experience
that
consumers
nowadays
are
looking
for,
and
you
know
where
are
we.
U
Why
is
this
coming
up
now?
Well
we're
18
months
into
a
utility
billing
conversion.
It's
a
major
conversion
from
our
legacy
system
to
our
main
erp
system,
tyler,
muniz
and
tyler's
billing
functionality
is
robust,
we're
looking
forward
to
utilizing
that
from
the
legacy
system,
but
it
just
can't
provide
that
that
desired.
U
Next
slide,
please
and
craig
jump
in,
and
I
I
I
may
ramble
on
here,
so
invoice
cloud
seemed
to
check
all
the
boxes
for
us.
You
know
customer
engagement,
electronic
bill
percent,
that's
a
fancy
title
for
a
system,
but
it
actually
actually
captures
it
fairly.
Well
too
extensive
customer
portal
for
residents
to
be
able
to
view
24
months
of
billing
payment
history.
They
can
store
their
bank
account
in
their
secure
method.
U
L
Pay
I.
U
I
had
to
kind
of
check
into
this
see
how
this
this
works,
but
the
one-time
pay.
This
the
system
will
be
automatically
populated
with
with
billing
information.
So
if
someone
wants
to
do
a
one-time
pay,
they
don't
have
to
go
in
and
set
up
an
account.
The
system
will
prompt
them
for
a
couple
of
key
pieces
of
information
like
their
account,
maybe
their
address
their
street
address
and
then
walk
them
through
a
payment,
and
so
it's
it's
very
intuitive
for
the
the
residents.
U
It's
very
easy
to
use
and
it
also
kind
of
helps
everyone
keep
on
track
and
it's
a
constant
way
of
reminding
residents
that
their
bills
are
coming
due.
They
can,
they
can
sign
up
for
paperless.
U
This
is
just
kind
of
a
visual
representation
of
some
of
the
things
that
I've
already
mentioned,
starting
upper
right
hand,
corner
the
intelligent
communications,
email
notifications,
everyone
will
receive
an
email
notification
and
when
their
bill
is
coming
to,
if
they
haven't
paid
it,
so
you
won't
get
an
email
if
you've
already
paid-
and
you
know
clog
up
your
inbox-
you
can
sign
in
for
text
messaging,
you
can.
You
can
set
this
up
on
a
calendar
via
the
system
and
it
will
automatically
populate
whatever
type
of
calendar
method
that
you
use.
U
You
can
see
on
the
bottom,
all
the
different
methods
for
pain,
online,
mobile
ivr.
I
wanted
to
comment
on
ivr.
This
multiple
languages
are
available
here
too
for
our
residents
that
don't
speak
english
well
and
then
there's
an
outbound
component
to
ivr
that
isn't
functional
yet,
but
it
should
be
functional
by
the
end
of
the
year
whereby
we
can
utilize
this
to
call
residents
where
there
might
be
a
water
main
break
so
so
very
interactive
tool
for
both
the
city
and
the
resident
standpoint,
local
retail
cash.
U
This
is
where
someone
can
pay
their
utility
bill
at
a
retail
location.
Such
as
walmart,
so
you
take
it
in
your
stub,
you
throw
it
in
with
your
everything,
your
purchases,
it
gets
scanned,
you
pay
for
it
all
at
once,
and
the
city
gets,
gets
the
payment
and
it's
automatically
applied
to
your
account
without
any
intervention
by
my
staff,
and
then
the
csr
customer
service
representative
assist
that's
interactive
for
our
city
staff.
So
if
someone
calls
in
and
they
can
ask
them
hey,
are
you
calling
by
your
with
a
cell
phone
you
know?
U
U
Next
slide,
please.
The
next
slides
are
just
going
to
be
some
screenshots
of
how
the
system
looks
and
some
of
the
you
know
the
intuitive
use
of
them.
It's
it's
not
difficult
to
figure
out.
It
prompts
you
to
through
the
menus.
So
here
here's
a
a
screen
where
you
can
select
how
you
want
to
be
notified.
You
know
via
outlook
text,
reminder
and
other
different
methods,
and
then
it
has
an
example
of
an
email
that
you
would
receive.
Notifying
you
hey
your
utility
bills.
U
U
This
is
another
example
of
how
simple
the
system
is
to
navigate
and
make
your
selections.
So
this
this
window
on
the
left
here
is,
is
what
I
was
referring
to
earlier.
The
kind
of
constant
reminders
of
hey.
Would
you
like
to
sign
up
for
auto
pay?
I
will
you
know,
would
you
like
to
sign
up
for
paperless?
You
know
paperless
is
it's
it's
a
benefit
on
so
many
levels.
U
You
know
costs
for
the
city,
the
environment,
etcetera,
so
the
system
is
really
really
focused
on
driving
people
to
kind
of
accept
this
e-format,
but
you
don't
have
to
e-adoption
is
the
term
that
they
use
that
that's
what
that's,
how
they
sell
their
model:
they're
they're
they're,
big
on
e-adoption
of
of
receiving
your
bills,
communications
and
paying
your
bills
next
slide.
Please.
U
This
is
what
I
was
referring
to
earlier.
The
customer
service
rep,
our
customer
service
reps,
can
manually
put
the
payment
into
the
system
for
someone
or
they
can
run
through
a
process
and
ask
them
you'll
notice.
The
bottom
says:
customer
service
rep
can
trigger
text
messages
pairs
on
demand.
So
again,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
asking
whether
or
not
someone
has
a
cell
phone,
can
I
send
you
a
text?
U
This
is
just
an
example
of
of
some
further
flexibility
that
the
system
has.
I
thought
this
was
an
interesting
slide
that
they
presented
to
us.
So
if
we
were
to
ever
decide
that
we
wanted
to
have
a
philanthropy
that
we
wanted
to
provide
a
conduit
via
the
utility
billing,
we
could
do
it
this
way.
This
is
you
know,
would
you
like
to
make
a
donation
today,
and-
and
I
think
you
can-
you
can
pick
multiple
programs
for
which
they
can
choose
and
it
will
just
add
it
to
their
bill.
U
Now
I
don't
have
a
screenshot
in
here,
but
there's
there's
an
another
resource,
that's
going
to
make
it!
It's
almost
like
a
shopping
cart,
where
residents
can
pay
different
types
of
bills
that
they
have
with
the
city
that
we'll
be
exploring
in
great
detail
so
that
we
kind
of
have
that
single
one-stop
shop
of
the
hub,
the
kiosk.
You
know
the
they
call
this
craig.
What
is
a
single
pane
of
glass
relationship
with
the
city,
so
you're
just
really
dealing
with
one
functional
platform.
U
V
Slide
you're
right
scott-
that
was
where
I
was
going
to
go
with.
That
is
that
is
that,
in
fact,
that
single
pane
of
glass-
and
I
didn't
want
to
disrupt
your
flow
on
that,
but
going
forward,
you
know,
while
we
are
just
focusing
on
utility
billing
for
this
particular
use
case,
there
are
many
other
use
cases
even
with
inside
of
munis,
that
we
want
to
implement
and
integrate
with
this
solution
to
provide
that
single
pane
of
glass.
V
That's
the
term
that
keeps
getting
floated
out
there
so
that
way,
citizens
can
go
to
one
interface
or
one
portal
and
see
all
the
bills
that
they
have
ready
to
go
for
the
city
of
bloomington.
While
we
are
going
to
focus,
you
know
primarily
on
the
munis
transactions.
To
begin
with,
you
know,
there's
definitely
opportunities
to
integrate
other
to
separate
systems
as
well
into
this.
This
interface.
U
U
U
We
selected
them
a
couple
years
ago,
as
kind
of
a
pavement
solutions
provider
because
of
their
their
strong
relationship
with
munis
and
tight
integration.
They
have
with
them
number
four
improve
customer
communications.
That's
that's
an
efficiency
for
for
both
us
and
the
residents.
The
paperless
program
and
number
six
of
reducing
inbound
calls.
I
mean
this
is
a
staff
utilization
thing.
You
know.
If,
if
we're
not
taking
a
lot
of
calls,
we
we
can
utilize
staff
in
other
regards
in
other
respects
and
then
on
the
final
one
down.
It's
really
if
I
had.
U
If
I
stretched
in
the
invoice
cloud
I'd
rewrite
this
one
and
say
that
pay
whenever
and
however,
you
would
like
they.
They
are
very
proud
that
you
can
do
a
one-time
payment
without
setting
up
an
account.
I
mentioned
this
earlier
that
their
system
is
capable.
It
includes
all
the
information
for
all
bills
or
for
all
accounts,
and
you
can
not
log
in
you
can
make
a
payment.
Just
with
a
couple
of
data
point
confirmations
within
the
system.
U
Please,
and
this
just
kind
of
summarizes
and
puts
down
some
statistics
as
to
the
benefits
for
the
city
and
some
of
the
efficiencies
to
be
gained
two
to
three
times
as
many
epa
payments
60
decreases
in
annual
call
volume,
seven
times
more
enrollments
and
paperless
billing
100
percent
higher
e-adoption
increase
in
one
year,
but
I
did
write
another
note
here
related
to
the
benefits
to
residents.
U
You
know,
aside
from
all
the
flexibility
and
options
that
they
have
for
payments
and
communications.
They
provided
a
statistic
that
research
indicated
35
of
late
payments
are
due
to
just
people,
forgetting
they
just
forget
to
pay.
You
know
they
bury
the
bill
or
something
like
that.
So,
with
all
the
the
alerts
and
the
artificial
intelligence,
you
know
whatever
you
want
to
refer
to
it,
the
constant
communication
that
the
system
is
really
built
to
provide
it
saves
the
consumers,
late
fees
as
well
as
improving.
U
Next
slide,
please
so,
as
we
discussed
we're
looking
at
the
application
city-wide,
but
from
from
the
outset
the
utility
billing
is
going
to
be.
You
know
the
very
obvious
material
component
to
this.
The
cost
structure
of
the
platform
is
a
an
e-transaction
cost
structure.
U
As
I
indicated
earlier,
we
have
32
000
accounts
and
there's
28
000
bills.
Mailed
per
month
we
have
very
high
costs
related
to
printing
and
mailing.
You
can
see,
there's
245,
000
related
to
printing
and
mailing
per
year.
Check.
Processing,
lock
box
is
around
60
thousand
dollars,
so
total
hard
cost
is
not
including
inefficient.
Workflows
is
305
thousand
dollars.
U
Initial
estimates
for
invoice
cloud
costs
for
e-transactions
from
day
one
not
including
the
conversions
of
to
e-payments
and
paperless
is
105
000,
which
would
be
spread
between
our
four
main
enterprise
funds,
water,
storms,
sewer
and
solid
waste,
utilizing
information
from
invoice
cloud
from
some
of
their
other
customers
and
confirming
those
with
those
customers.
I
did
that
two-year
estimated
conversion
savings
is
around
seventy
thousand
dollars
so
estimated
third
third
year
cost
around
thirty
five
thousand
dollars
and
at
the
bottom
there
I
put
in
some
of
the
some
of
the
data
related
to
savings.
U
The
bulk
of
the
savings
really
comes
in
the
form
of
converting
residents
to
paperless
that
that
is
a
significant
cost
for
the
production,
the
mail
and
then
the
lock
box
costs
for
for
processing
those
manual
checks
and
right
now,
I'm
going
to
kick
it
back
over
to
craig
and
and
talk
and
ask
him
to
talk
about
the
staff
utilization
as
far
as
I.t
and
pci
compliance
and
some
of
the
benefits
of
utilizing
a
platform
such
as
invoice
cloud
can
provide
there.
V
Right
thanks
scott,
so
you
mentioned
automated
merchant
services,
that's
the
the
company
that
does
the
payment
collection
and
processing,
and,
as
scott
mentioned,
you
know,
we
did
partner
with
them
back
in
2018
for
all
of
our
munis
transactions.
V
Credit
card
payment
transactions,
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
get
to
in
the
near
future,
is
evaluating
all
of
our
merchant
accounts
that
we
have
through
various
banking
institutions
and
try
and
get
those
single
homed
into
the
automated
merchant
services
group.
Many
benefits
for
that.
One
of
the
benefits
is,
of
course,
the
more
transactions
we
get
into
that
service.
The
cheaper.
V
The
overall
rate
is
we
get
a
better
rate,
but
one
of
the
bigger
soft
benefits
that
that
scott
was
talking
about
was
just
the
sheer
number
of
man
hours
that
are
saved
for
reconciling
all
these
different
bank
accounts.
If
we
have
a
singular
payment
provider
that
we
can
run
through
and
have
that
common
reporting
interface,
we
get
not
only
more
accurate
numbers,
but
it's
much
quicker,
much
more
efficient
to
process.
Those
scott
also
mentioned
pci
compliance
being
a
big
part
of
this
time
that
we
have
a
merchant
account
that
processes,
credit
card
transactions.
V
The
the
payment
card
industry
or
pci
requires
us
to
go
through
a
certain
certification
to
make
sure
that
we're
meeting
certain
obligations
and
requirements
that
annual
assessment
that
we
have
to
do
for
every
one
of
those
merchant
accounts.
It
also
takes
up
quite
a
bit
of
staff
hours
and
time
to
get
that
submitted
and
do
the
the
successful
security
audits
and
everything
that
are
necessary
for
each
bank
account.
U
We
have
a
lot
of
accounts
set
up
that
where
we
automatically
debit
their
account
and
the
process
now
and
it
will
be
when
we
even
when
we
convert
to
munis,
is
we'll
have
to
export
that
information
out
of
our
billing
system
and
then
import
it
into
the
banking
system
that
we're
using
in
this
case
bucy
and
then
process
the
ach
processor
transaction
and
then
once
it
settles,
you
know
we
post
those
payments
back
into
the
system
by
utilizing
a
solution
such
as
invoice
cloud
and
having
the
accounts
set
up
on
invoice
cloud
for
the
direct
debit.
U
They
will
process
automatically
on
the
dates
that
the
residents
select
post
to
their
accounts
and
then
deposit.
You
know
and
want
a
bank
account
in
consolidated
reconciliation
fashion.
So
that's
an
example.
Very
specific
example
of
an
efficiency,
so
is
a
I
can't
see.
The
presentation
is:
is
anyone
else
seeing
it
now?
Gonna
be
brought
back
up
just
for
the
final
two
screens
so
next
screen?
Please?
U
So,
just
to
summarize,
you
know
our
goal
is
convenience,
modernization,
efficient
operations,
you
know
that's
for
the
city
and
the
residents
needs
of
32
000
utility
accounts
and
customer
service
hub
city-wide,
centralization
of
all
our
processes
and
the
timing,
utility
billing
information
to
go
live
in
march
and
have
another
other
application
as
soon
as
possible.
The
utility
billing
component-
it's
the
implementation
for
this
platform-
will
take
a
couple
of
months.
So
that's
that's!
It's
a
now
thing,
but
we're
not
looking
to
go
live
until
march
of
2021.
U
N
C
F
Thanks
mayor
thanks
scott
and
craig-
and
I
think
you
guys
knew
that
I
was
gonna-
have
a
whole
list
of
questions,
and
I
do
so
the
the
first
thing
that
I
wanted
to
ask.
Actually
you
answered
right
at
the
end
there,
scott
so
ach
is
still
going
to
be
a
possibility
for
this
system,
and
actually
it's
going
to
be
an
easier
to
use.
Possibility
for
this
system
than
we
had
before,
because
I
know
ach
is
always
cheaper
than
credit
card
processing.
U
True,
yes,
and
and
via
this
method
too,
we'll
be
taking
out
a
whole
component
of
manual
staff
processing
as
well.
F
F
One
of
the
bigger
questions
I
had
is:
how
does
this?
How
do
you
see
this
working
with
the
my
bloomington
app,
because
I
was
on
the
invoice
cloud
website
last
night
and
it's
not
an
app
that
I
can
see
it's
simply
a
mobile
responsive
website.
So
how
do?
How
do
you
envision
the
my
bloomington
app
interacting
with
this
in
the
future,
or
has
that
been
talked
at
all
yet.
V
Yep,
thank
you
alderman
matthew,
so
the
my
bloomington
app.
While
it's
a
very
good
system,
we've
used
it
for
probably
the
last
six
seven
years.
Now
it
is
becoming
an
aging
system.
V
That
solution
actually
is
becoming
deprecated
and
they're,
coming
out
with
multiple
solutions
to
replace
that,
so
we're
not
really
looking
to
integrate
directly
with
the
my
bloomington
app,
but
we
are
looking
at
what
that
next
step
needs
to
be
whether
it's
with
the
same
company
or
we're.
Also
looking
at
the
new
tyler
munis,
upgrade
offering
some
of
that
same
functionality
that
we
may
be
able
to
leverage
and
keep
it
within
sight
of
that
tyler
system
and
make
it
much
easier
to
communicate
with
both
ams
and
for
invoice
cloud
as
well.
F
F
I
also
want
to
throw
out
that
another
large
reason
why
people
are
paid
late
on
paying
making
their
water
bill
payments
is
because
their
credit
card
expired
and
they
didn't
realize
it
and
that
that's
what
happened
to
me
last
year
and
I
saw
that
part
of
the
presentation
on
their
their
website.
F
The
last
question
I
I
have
right
now
is
revolving
our
contract
with
lockbox
the
company
that's
been,
providing
the
check
handling
services
for
us
is
so
that
contract
is
that
a
per
item
they
process
for
us
per
check
they
process
and
it's
not
like
a
flat
fee
contract.
No.
F
C
Thanks
helen
matthew,
councilmember
bolin
and
then
ward.
I
C
Thank
you
that
was
quite
succinct,
councilmember,
ward,.
U
Yes,
that
that
a
question
came
up
today,
I
tried
to
reference
it
early
early
on
in
the
presentation.
C
Thank
you
is
that
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
Let's
see
is
there
anybody
else
all
right
at
this
point.
Is
there
a
motion
council,
member
painter
and
then
ward
councilmember,
painter.
C
C
Is
that
what
you
were
attempting
to
second
councilmember
ward,
it
is
okay.
Thank
you
so
much
at
this
point,
I
don't
see
any
hands
up.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
role?
Thank
you.
E
E
C
Thank
you
very
much.
Next
we're
going
to
move
to
item
c
on
our
agenda
and
that's
consideration.
Potential
action
regarding
ordinance.
2020-19
excuse
me:
18
an
ordinance
declaring
a
local
emergency
due
to
the
covet
19
virus
and
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
mr
gleason.
We
have
about
a
five
minute
presentation
up
to
that
and
up
to
a
five
minute
council
question
answer
discussion,
mr
gleason
go
ahead.
N
U
U
I'll
go
ahead
and
lead
with
it.
We
we
did
receive
our
local
cures,
the
full
allotment,
the
check
today.
They
they
sent
it
to
the
state
senate
via
a
check,
3.2
million
dollars,
local
cures,
funding
related
to
our
submission
about
a
month
ago.
So
great
news
for
the
city
related
to
some
relief
from
our
revenue
revenue
issues
that
I'm
about
ready
to
talk
about.
U
U
There
you
go
next
side,
please,
okay,
we
are
six
months
into
the
year,
but,
as
I
discussed
many
times,
you
know
certain
revenue
categories
lag.
You
can
see
a
home
rule
state
over
on
the
right
number
of
months
collected
or
just
at
four
months.
You
know
so
there's
a
lag
in
those
revenue
calculations.
U
I'm
going
to
kind
of
take
this
from
a
different
angle
this
evening,
a
little
bit
if
you
look
at
the
year-to-date
dollar
variance
column,
home
rules,
negative
1.5
under
budget
state
408
under
budget
income
tax
is
694
above
budget,
but
you
know
a
half
million
plus
of
that
is
really
related
to
the
push
out
of
the
due
date
from
april
15
to
july
15th.
So
it's
not
really
an
indicator.
I
mean
part
of
it's
an
indicator
because
we're
over.
U
We
thought
that
was
around
a
half
million
and
we're
at
694
and
monthly
we're
coming
in
over.
But
that
is
really
not
an
indicator
of
the
year
right
now:
local
motor
fuel
tax
that
is
under
due
to
covet
food
and
beverage
that
is
under
due
to
covet
a
local
use
tax
407
over
budget.
I
am
going
to
say
that
that
is
due
to
covet
partially
anyway,
because
residents
are
you
know,
consumers
are
shopping
online.
U
That's
that's
our
basically,
our
internet
sales
tax
revenues
versus
going
to
the
brick
and
mortars
and
then
obviously
the
last
hotel
motel
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
under
budget
year-to-date.
So
taking
the
categories
that
I
just
mentioned,
I'm
going
to
exclude
income
tax
and
some
of
the
smaller
categories.
U
That's
a
total
of
about
a
2.7
million
dollar
impact
related
to
covid
year
to
date,
so
that
kind
of
puts
it
in
perspective
a
bit.
Fortunately,
we
had
that
push
out
for
income
taxes
here
and
income
tax
is
coming
in
over
budget
each
month.
U
I
keep
expecting
that
to
drop
off,
but
it's
still
performing
well
state
sales
tax.
If
you
look
out
to
the
right,
you
can
see.
The
last
month
was
three
point:
nine
four
four
percent
over
budget,
so
we've
had
a
couple
of
months
in
a
row
where
state
sales
tax
has
actually
been
over.
Budget
people
are
buying
cars.
Our
vehicle
use
tax
is
way
over
budget.
U
We
don't
get
home
rule
on
those,
but
we
did
state
sales
tax
and
there's
also
groceries
drive
that
so
that
one
is,
is
hanging
in
there
now
now
related
to
the
most
recent
changes
in
the
mitigation
rules,
we're
expecting
food
and
beverage,
some
of
those
local
taxes
that
start
taking
a
heavier
hit.
Again,
you
can
see
food
and
beverage.
U
The
last
month
was
11
under
budget
and
we
predicted
it
to
be
17,
so
it
did
better,
but
with
the
changes
that
have
occurred,
we're
thinking
that
it
might
trend
a
little
bit
more
back
to
what
it
was
in
june
and
june.
It
was
32
under
budget
which
was
126
000
under
budget
and
the
other
large
impact.
You
know,
video
gaming
isn't
on
our
list.
These
are
like
the
top
11
right
here.
Video
gaming
taxes
are
850
000
annual
budget
for
us.
U
So
that's
you
know
75
000
a
month
that
will
go
down
to
zero
for
a
while,
depending
on
how
long
this
lasts.
But
you
know
we're
kind
of
trying
trending
evenly.
You
know
between
some
going
up
and
some
going
down
a
local
use,
income,
tax
or
kind
of
offsetting.
Some
of
those
other
ones
in
general,
we
were
doing
better
than
our
projections,
which
we
will
update
for
the
next
month
until
the
recent
mitigation
changes
went
into
effect.
U
I'm
please
of
like
disappointed.
I
didn't
make
more
of
a
fan
for
fare
out
of
that
3.2
million.
You
know
I
kind
of
just
said
it
like
there,
you
go,
but
we
had
built
it
into
the
projection
column.
Last
month
you
can
see
the
grant
covered
relief,
I'm
going
to
focus
on
this
projection
column
a
couple
more
months,
we're
going
to
update
it
next
month,
but
the
3.160
that
is,
the
local
cures
allocation
that
the
city
received
and
we
actually
proceeded
today
in
the
form
of
attack
right
now.
U
If
you
go
all
the
way
down
to
the
bottom,
you
can
see
using
the
numbers
we've
produced
from
our
latest
last
projection.
We
had
260
000
surplus.
Well,
I
mentioned
this
last
month.
I
want
to
mention
again
that
this
this
projection
still
incorporates
all
the
savings
that
we
put
into
place
related
to
covet
going
into
the
year
all
the
holdbacks.
The
equipment
hold
backs
that
I
mentioned
previously
related
to
the
capital
lease,
so
that
number
you
have
to
take
that
in
context,
depending
on
which
way
the
mitigations
might
be
trending
next
month.
U
We
might
build
back
in
some
of
those
expenditures,
but
we
will
be
changing
that,
so
it
doesn't
look
like
there's
a
surplus
because
that's
it's
kind
of
a
false
indicator
of
how
we're
doing,
because
it
has
all
those
savings
built
in.
I
will
comment
on
one
particular
lines
line:
item
salaries.
U
So
even
with
that
in
there
we're
trending
under
budget
and
again,
this
is
really
due
to
vacancies
and
public
safety,
some
of
it's
due
to
the
seasonals
from
from
parks
and
well
mostly
from
parks,
but
the
arena.
Well,
not
the
arena.
This
is
general
fun.
Excuse
me
bcpa
things
of
that
nature
where
we
shut
those
down
due
to
covet,
but
that
that
line
item
is
under
budget
again
for
this
year
next
slide.
Please.
U
Enterprise
funds,
revenue
trend:
this
is
a
line
down
towards
the
bottom,
so
we're
we're
six
months
of
the
year,
so
our
revenue
should
be
at
least
50
percent.
You
can
see
that
for
the
main
enterprise
funds
of
water,
sewer,
storm
solid
waste,
we're
either
at
50
percent
or
above
one
thing
related
to
enterprise
funds.
We
book
those
revenues
on
a
cash
basis
during
the
year,
so
we
do
have
rising
delinquencies
related
to
the
moratorium
on
shutoffs,
but
they
are
not
having
a
material
impact
on
the
revenues.
U
U
So
in
summary,
I
guess
you
know
we're
holding
on
we're
weathering
this
storm,
the
general
fund.
You
know
with
the
local
use
being
over
budget
income
tax
being
over
budget
other
ones
trading
over
budget,
and
then
that
puts
us
in
a
position
to
kind
of
weather
out
whether
this
next
mitigation
phase
through
we
have
the
strong
reserves.
We
got
the
3.2
million,
so
we're
you
know
knock
on
wood,
we're
in
a
pretty
good
position
to
deal
with
these
things,
even
though
we're
still
being
cautious
in
all
regards.
U
As
far
as
expenditures
go
we're
fortunate
that
we've
had
you
know
our
past
financial
success
related
to
putting
those
reserves
in
place
and
and
realizing
the
local
cures
grant
from
the
state.
So
I
will
take
any
questions
at
this.
U
N
Am
I
transitioning
to
city
manager
comments
and
I
see
actually
I
see
jamie
waving.
C
F
Yeah
thanks
scott,
first
of
all,
yay
on
the
3.2
million,
so
there's
your
fanfare
yay.
That
is
awesome
and
thank
you
guys
for
getting
that
applied
for
because
that's
gonna
make
a
difference.
Of
course.
I
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
understood
something
that
you
said,
which
was
that
you
know
you
were
showing
the
surplus
of
the
the
260
000
in
there.
What
you
were
saying
is
we
had
all
that
money
that
we
had
put
into
the
budget.
F
We
were
supposed
to
be
spending
which
we
had
decided
that
was
part
of
our
process
of
how
to
how
to
weather
this
was.
We
were
just
not
going
to
spend
and
do
those
particular
projects
we
weren't
going
to
buy
that
those
particular
equipment.
That
was
the
savings
of
everything
we
did
back
in
march.
I
think
that
was
or
maybe
april
when
we
went
through
that,
so
we're
we're
a
little
bit
ahead
of
that
which
was
our
worst
case
scenario
for
dealing
with
covet.
That's
what
you're
saying
right!
Yes,.
U
F
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
were
saying
it
the
right
way
for
people
that
might
be
watching
is
we
projected
things
were
pretty
bad
and
it's
a
little
bit
better
than
we
projected
that
it
was
going
to
be
that's
that's
kind
of
yes,
that's
a
great
way
of
putting
it.
Okay
that
that's
all
I
had
is.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
was
clear
for
anybody
who
might
be
watching
maboka.
B
Yeah
just
a
quick
question
and
scott,
I'm
sorry
if
I
I
missed
this,
but
I
I
wanted
to
know:
where
do
we
stand
in
terms
of
our
reserves
at
this
point.
U
N
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
I
have
a
handful
of
comments.
All
of
them,
I
think,
are
awesome
phil.
If
you
would
give
me
the
first
slide
season
of
small
celebrate
shopping,
small
all
season
long
november,
28th
to
december
24th.
I
know
that
we've
had
council
members
comment
to
this
in
the
past.
As
a
as
have
I,
let's
support
our
small
business
just
find
the
way
they're
getting
creative
on
their
end,
the
least
we
can
do
is
come
out
and
support
them
as
well.
N
Next
slide,
this
is
sort
of
a
busy
slide,
but
really
in
a
nutshell
here:
the
national
league
of
cities.
We
had
a
relationship
and
we
were
a
partner
in
a
previous
project.
N
I'm
gonna
say
that
they
were
so
impressed
with
us.
You've
got
melissa
hahn,
her
team,
katie
simpson,
jennifer
toney,
that
the
national
league
of
cities
selected
us
for
this
cities
and
health
systems
community
of
practice,
and
we
have
partners
that
are
listed
down
at
the
bottom
of
the
slide,
but
we
were
only
one
of
12
communities
nationwide.
N
So
this
is
a
big
deal
and
credit
truly
goes
to
the
staff
that
were
involved
in
this.
Our
partners,
obviously
in
the
community,
so
national
league
of
cities,
as
you
guys,
are
aware,
you
know
that's
you
know
that's
one
of
the
bigger
municipal
type
of
entities
here
nationally
and
then
next
wanted
to
share-
and
I
might
have
said
this
at
the
last
council
meeting
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
clarify
what
our
remaining
council
meetings
are
for
the
month
of
december.
N
Our
next
council
meetings
are
two
weeks
from
today,
so
that's
december
7th
and
then
we'll
have
a
council
meeting
the
week
after
that
on
december
14th,
no
committee
of
the
whole,
typically
for
the
month
of
december.
So
we
have
two
council
meetings
that
will
have
action
items
on
december,
7th
and
december
14th,
another
one
that
made
the
news
earlier
this
week
and
it's
huge
ferraro
the
upgrades
and
expansion
to
the
plant
75
million
dollars.
N
I
believe
that
we
were
one
of
three
that
they
were
considering
landing
their
chocolate
manufacturing
production
lines
here
at
the
city
of
bloomington.
Huge
credit
goes
to
patrick
hoban,
edc,
executive
director,
and
I'm
going
to
go
right
back
to
melissa
and
her
team.
This
is
one
that
has
a
huge
impact,
so
congratulations
to
the
community.
This
is
a
big
deal
for
us
and
then
another
win
for
us.
N
Governor
pritzker
announced
that
there
was
about
22
million
dollars
in
department
of
natural
resources
grants
and
we
had
made
an
application
for
at
the
miller
park
zoo
for
the
south
american
exhibit
and
it's
a
one
million
dollar
project,
and
we
knew
that
we
weren't
going
to
construct
this
unless
we
were
able
to
fund
it
in
a
you
know,
in
a
ulterior
funding
source
and
we
put
in
for
a
750
000
grand,
oh,
we
got
it
and
credit
to
j
his
team
writing
the
grant,
but
also
credit
goes
to
our
lobbyist
julie,
curry,
down
the
home
stretch.
N
She
had
contacts
with
the
governor's
office
and
sure
enough
we're
one
of
the
few
communities
that
actually
received
this
grant.
So
three
quarters
of
a
million
dollars,
250
000,
is
going
to
be,
has
already
been
pledged
by
the
miller
park,
zoo
society,
so
zero
city
funds
and
we're
going
to
build
this
exhibit
for
the
community.
So
that's
exciting
and
then.
Lastly,
I
got
a
got
to
land
on
this.
One
happy
thanksgiving
to
everybody.
C
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
gleason.
I
appreciate
that
and
all
of
what
you
do,
and
at
this
point
I
did
want
to
just
say
once
again:
congratulations
on
the
natural
resources
grant,
that's
fantastic
news,
and
perhaps
even
more
fantastic
news
related
to
moving
forward,
especially
amitskovid,
where
our
economic
development
efforts
have
are
really
been,
have
really
been
difficult,
not
just
here
but
throughout
the
united
states.
C
Understandably,
given
that
many
investors
are
reluctant
to
invest
or
can't
invest
amidst
the
circumstances,
the
75
million
ferrero
situation
is
just
fantastic
because
it
can
be
helpful
not
just
to
jobs
and
to
help
putting
us
on
the
map,
but
even
some
of
the
physical
development
issues
of
our
west
side.
Now
that
we've
got
rivien,
that's
expanding
toward
the
west,
we've
got
ferrero
expanding
to
the
right
of
the
west.
C
A
capital
investment
will
attract
even
more
capital
investment,
and
this
is
just
fantastic.
So,
thank
you
all.
Thank
you
staff.
I
I
did
want
to
say
that
also
we
did
have
a
well
a
fairly
well
publicized
liquor
commission
meeting
on
friday,
and
there
have
been
there
were
lots
of
misunderstandings
about
it.
I
not
going
to
go
into
the
details
of
it.
If
anyone
has
further
details,
I
want
further
details.
C
There
were
certainly
some
conflicting
reports,
and
that
was
the
backdrop
for
the
12
complaints
for
or
12
establishments,
not
12
complaints
for
last
friday,
some
of
them
were
fairly
minor.
Most
of
them
actually
were
comparatively
minor,
but
we
did
want
to
make.
I
didn't
want
to
make
clear
as
mayor
liquor,
commissioner,
that
at
this
point
we
have
not
just
a
pandemic,
but
we've
got
an
incredible
spike
that
we
have
not
had
in
the
past,
not
just
in
this
community
in
our
state
but
in
our
nation.
C
So
we
do
have
to
move
forward
and
we
would
do
that
anyway.
If
there
are
complaints
that
people
are
violating
and
putting
into
public
health
risk
our
citizens,
we
are
going
to
act,
we
have
to
act,
we
will
act,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
was
clear.
I
think
it
is
as
crystal
clear
as
possible
my
understanding
and
talking
to
our
our
staff
and
many
of
the
bloomington
police
department,
members
of
the
department
that
we
had
substantial
compliance
this
weekend.
C
This
weekend
was
not
like
the
previous
or
several
weekends
before
and
that's
important
for
us
as
we're
trying
to
contain
this
until
we
get
the
vaccine
in
our
community,
because
that's
the
most
important
thing
that
we
do
is
obviously
to
protect
public
health.
So
I
do
want
to
make
that
clear
if
people
want
to,
if
they
are
aware
of
things
and
are
willing
to
testify
or
have
evidence
of
infractions,
then
they
can
certainly
contact
at
this
point
either
our
city
legal
department
or
the
state.
C
So
we
we
do
have
those
issues,
but
let's
be
clear,
we
are
limited.
The
city
is
limited
to
establishments
that
have
liquor
licenses.
If
you
don't
have
a
liquor
license,
we
don't
really
have
tools
in
our
toolbox
right
now
and
that's
unfortunate.
The
health
department
does,
I
think,
was
clear
before
the
sangman
county
decision
last
week
or
two
weeks
ago,
but
it's
definitely
clear
now,
and
so
we
we
do
have
to
move
forward.
With
this
I
mean,
as
I
said
in
our
liquor
commission
meeting
on
friday.
C
C
If
we
were
to
go
down
that
path.
So
I
do
want
to
make
it
clear
that
this
is
a
very
complicated
situation,
but
we
also
I'm
so
glad
that
our
city
manager
has
talked
about
the
situations
where
we
are
moving
forward
to
have
a
more
aggressive
grant
program
to
try
to
get
our
small
businesses
through
this
extremely
tough
time,
and
obviously
individual
citizens
who
live
paycheck
to
paycheck
that
are
struggling
is
probably
putting
it
mildly.
And
that's
the
thing.
C
If
you're
a
mayor,
you
got
to
look
business,
people
and
individuals
who
are
living
paycheck
to
paycheck
in
the
eye
and
and
talk
to
them
and
try
to
explain,
what's
going
on
and
try
to
get
them
through
and
that's
not
an
easy
thing.
So
I
hope
that
we
get
this
vaccine
as
quickly
as
possible.
C
This
has
been
a
very,
very
difficult
time
for
all
of
us
and
I
just
hope
that
we
band
together
and
become
stronger
as
a
community
because
of
it.
That's
all.
I
have
I'm
going
to
go
around
the
diocese,
councilmember
matthew,
anything.
F
A
couple
things
mayor,
thank
you
so
questions
that
I've
been
getting
recently.
So
one
is
yes,
we
are
still
picking
up
leaves.
There
is
actually
an
interactive
map
on
the
public
works
part
of
our
website,
where
you
can
see
where
they're
scheduled
to
be
in
the
city
and
what
days
they're
going
to
be
there.
So
you
know
I've
been
getting
that
question
quite
a
lit
quite
a
bit,
because
we
are
tree
city,
usa,
which
comes
with
leaf
city,
usa.
F
The
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
is
that
there's
an
awful
lot
of
restaurants
in
town
that
have
been
doing
everything
the
right
way
and
you
can
support
them
by
buying
gift
certificates
or
just
by
getting
curbside,
take
out
to
take
the
food
home
and
there's
an
awful
lot
of
people
that
need
our
help.
F
There's
a
facebook
group
called
curbside
restaurants,
blownell
that
has
usually
what
every
restaurant
specials
of
the
day
are,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
support
our
local
restaurants
and
and
the
workers
that
work
there,
that's
an
easy
way
to
do
it.
Just
by
continuing
what
seems
to
be
bloomington's
favorite
hobby,
which
is
eating.
F
Got
one
more
thing
there?
Oh
I'm
sorry
go
ahead.
I'm
gonna
keep
my
running
gag,
going
that
I've
been
sending
to
all
of
you,
which
is
a
lot
of
people.
Don't
know
that
bloomington
was
actually
voted,
the
happiest
city
in
america
last
month,
and
so
now
it's
the
happiest
city
in
america
and
we
have
chocolate.
I
Yeah
tonight
I
guess
it's
going
to
be
the
coven
night.
I
believe
that
we
as
the
community
need
to
practice
personal
and
collective
responsibility.
I
We've
been
we
have
been,
and
should
continue
to
be
educated
about
coven
continually
offer
reminders
to
the
about
the
health
and
economic
consequences
of
not
following
the
cdc
recommend
recommendations
for
limiting
the
spread
of
infectious
disease,
the
city
leaders
we
as
city
leaders,
need
to
model
and
promote
the
community.
We
want
to
be
by
providing
clear
expectations,
blaming
and
shaming
our
counterproductive
and
resultant
conflict.
I
I
Hands
covering
mouth
distancing
when
you're
inside
quarantine,
when
you're
sick
wearing
the
face
covering,
can
give
a
full
sense
of
security
so
hand
washing
before
and
after
placing
a
mask
on
your
face
is
very
important
and
cloth
masks
need
to
be
washed
every
day,
based
on
the
current
studies.
If
only
80
of
the
population
wear
masks
properly,
the
infection
rate
will
decrease
substantially.
I
Our
goals
should
be
80
percent
participation
at
least,
and
this
month
the
world
health
organization
reported
that
lockdown
should
not
be
used
necessarily
as
mitigations,
because
there
are
unintended
consequences,
including
mental
health
issues,
issues
etc.
So
that's
all
I
have
to
say
about
colvin,
but
I
would
like
to
make
another
comment.
I
I'm
pretty
friendly,
even
though
people
may
not
think
so,
but
when
I
am
sitting
on
the
dice
I
would
have.
I
would
greatly
appreciate
being
addressed
as
alderman
bolan.
If
you
want
to
call
me
on
the
phone
write
me
an
email,
you
may
call
me
donna,
I'm
not
offended
that
by
that.
You
can
call
me
by
my
nickname,
although
I
won't
tell
you
what
it
is,
but
I
do
appreciate
the
respect
of
the
elected
office.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
very
much,
although
huawei
any
comments.
B
Just
briefly,
I
just
wanted
to
commend
staff
on
the
initiative
with
ferrero.
You
know,
having
chocolate
in
a
chocolate
factory
in
the
city
is
absolutely
awesome
and
I
think
it's
it.
It
is
amazing
that
we
are
able
to
attract
something
of
that
magnitude
and
the
city
in
the
midst
of
covet.
So
just
you
know,
congratulations
to
staff
to
patrick
over
with
the
edc,
for
a
wonderful
job.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
very
much
again,
just
because
I'm
going
around
the
diocese
with
this
doesn't
mean.
Usually
not
everybody
makes
a
comment,
so
you
don't
have
to
so
at
this
point,
councilmember
emic,
ward,
4.
T
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
I
just
want
to
say
to
listen
to
the
good
doctor,
ezekiel
who's,
the
head
of
our
illinois
state
public
health.
I
think
her
advice
is
always
really
powerful
and
she
did
note
that
that
we
would
have
people
who
were
missing
from
our
thanksgiving
tables
this
year
due
to
covid,
but
that
the
fight
needs
to
remain
strong,
and
I
encourage
you
to
practice
all
of
the
guidelines
that
you've
heard
us
say
over
and
over
again
it
really
does
work.
I
think
our
our
name
might
be.
T
C
Thank
you
very
much
council
member
painter,
councilmember
carrillo.
M
Yeah,
I
guess
the
one
reminder-
and
I
have
a
friend
who
reminds
me
of
this
often,
but
that
it's
like
you
know
she
asks
me
remember
when
we
were
all
really
panicked
about
covid,
because
it
was
a
brand
new
thing
and
folks
were
staying
home
and
taking
all
of
the
most
care
to
make
sure
that
they
were
not
exposing
themselves
or
other
people
to
that
risk.
M
Well,
things
are
much
worse
now
in
terms
of
the
infection
rate,
so
so
all
those
precautions
that
we
were
taking
just
because
we
are
sick
of
being
at
home
and
we
are
sick
of
not
being
able
to
live
life
as
we
used
to
doesn't
mean
that
we
are
safer,
and
so
we
have
to
remain
vigilant
and
we
have
to
hold
each
other
accountable
to
that.
M
M
So
that's
all
I
have
to
say
on
that
and
then
I
guess
today
was
the
last
day
for
for
filing
for
office.
So
I
know
in
the
spirit
of
thanksgiving
just
wanna
offer
some
gratitude
to
some
of
the
folks
that
aren't
going
to
be
joining
us
at
council
next
in
2021,
so
mayor
runner
and
alderwoman
painter
and
elder
woman
bray
thanks
so
much
for
all
that
you
have
done
so.
That's
it.
C
Thank
you
councilman
at
this
point,
ward,
7,
councilmember,
ward,.
D
Yeah
in
the
roughly
94
minutes,
since
we
had
our
moment
of
silence
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting,
approximately
79.7
people
in
the
united
states
have
died
of
coven,
and
so
I
would
just
ask
my
fellow
council
members
and
mayor
to
just
pause
for
a
moment
of
silence
in
memory
of
those,
not
quite
80,
people
who
have
died,
who
were
all
beloved
of
someone
at
some
point
in
their
life.
C
J
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
and
I'll,
just
echo
the
sentiment
set
here
tonight
about
folks
remaining
safe.
J
I
also
wanted
to
say
again
thank
you
to
our
staff
for
all
of
their
work
and
the
way
that
you
push
through
at
difficult
times
to
find
focus
and
and
the
track
and
congratulations
to
those
who
filed
and
are
willing
to
take
on
the
mantle
of
serving
a
municipal
government.
It's
a
unique
position
and
congratulations
to
you
for
stepping
forward.
C
Thank
you
so
much
and
absolutely
this
is
an
important
day
again.
This
was
just
everyone
knows
from
the
16th
of
november
to
the
23rd
of
november.
You
could
have
filed
for
council
or
for
mayor
at
this
point,
we're
moving
forward
and
I'm
sure
we
will
all
do
our
best
and
the
new
council
and
new
mayor
will
do
a
great
job
as
well.
Thank
you
very
much
at
this
point.
Is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn
moved
by
council
member
bowling,
second
by
council
member
matthew,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
