Yes,
there
you,
there
ok,
I,
we
if
we
could
go
ahead
and
start
with
it.
Could
we
have
a
motion
to
authorize
ultimen
mathy
to
participate
virtually
because
he
is
our
way
on
business,
move
by
all
the
woman
Schmidt?
Is
there
a
second
second,
there
were
a
lot
of
seconds,
but
I
think
I
saw
alderman
Sage's,
while
I
light
up
was
that
a
second
ultimate
sage,
okay,
I'll,
give
all
of
them.
Sage
is
the
second
on
now
and
at
this
point,
madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
roll.
A
F
I
want
to
make
a
motion
that
changes
our
agenda.
This
is
with
regard
to
item
8c,
which
is
the
Memorandum
of
Understanding
regarding
the
beach
PPA
it.
We
realized
earlier
today
that
when
we
talked
about
this
memorandum
of
understanding
that
we
actually
had
agreement
among
the
council
that
emotion,
I
made
actually
asked
us
to
put
this
on
the
on
either
committee
the
whole
or
work
session.
F
A
Is
there
a
second
to
that
motion?
Second,
second,
by
all
the
woman
painter
any
discussion
of
that
motion?
Okay,
if
you
could
go
ahead
and
vote
all
the
min
Massey,
how
do
you
vote
on
that
affirmative?
Okay,
so
the
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce
madam
clerk,
and
that
will
be.
The
motion
to
table
has
been
passed
and.
G
A
By
all
the
woman
painter
any
discussion
on
that,
seeing
none
go
ahead
and
vote
on
that
motion.
All
of
Ann
mathy
affirmative.
Okay,
that
motion
passes
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce,
madam
Clerk
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much
now.
At
this
point
we
have
a
couple
of
recognitions.
There
are
two
appointments.
One
Gary
McGinnis
is
Gary
here
to
the
Bloomington
Human
Relations
Commission
Gary.
Thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
serve
appreciate
that
in
Robert
Garcia
to
the
property
maintenance,
Review
Board.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
say.
A
At
this
point,
we
have
public
comment
and
public
comment
and
I'm
not
going
to
count,
obviously
this
time
again
on
that,
but
we
have
up
to
30
minutes
and
you
can
have
up
to
three
minutes
apiece,
given
that
we
have
more
than
ten
people,
we
would
ask
you
to
be
as
expeditious
as
possible
and
and,
if
possible.
Obviously,
the
floor
is
yours,
but
to
not,
perhaps
repeat
in
too
much
detail.
A
What
maybe
have
someone
else
has
already
said
if
you
are,
and
if
some
of
you
are
here
from
the
hedgewood
subdivision
in
some
other
areas
are
concerned
about
the
particular
property
that
might
or
might
not
be
developed.
But
one
of
the
just
one
of
the
updates
is
the
the
participation
that
would
be
most
well.
What
would
be
potentially
legally
binding
if
I'm,
looking
at
my
attorney
to
make
sure
that
I'm
saying
this
correctly
would
be
at
a
possible
Liquor,
Commission
hearing
and
that's
what
I
would
encourage
you
to
attend.
A
Anything
that
could
be
said
here
is
fine,
but
it
is
just
part
of
our
public
comment
and
in
public
comment
we
do
not
respond
to
public
comment.
We
also
just
want
to
remind
everyone
that
they
do
have
an
open
house
every
other
week
and
we
can
you
know
I
can
get
questions
answered,
but
if
you're
here
for
that
particular
issue,
the
information
that's
binding,
I
as
a
liquor.
A
Commissioner,
when
I
went
to
here,
let's
say
eight
people
I'm
just
taking
a
number
from
the
audience
who
happened
to
live
in
an
area
who
are
opposed
to
it
and
let's
say
nobody
is
in
favor
of
it
from
the
area
that
is
clear
and
clear
and
substantial
evidence.
That's
my
terminology.
Is
that
a
fair
statement
or
if
there's
something
that
I
may
be
overstated?
Mr.
A
A
Correct
this
is
not
yeah.
There's
not
a
liquor
license
is
necessary
for
video
poker
right
just
so
that
everybody
understands
you,
don't
get
the
liquor
license.
You
don't
get
the
video
poker
and
correct
correct
just
to
to
clarify
all
of
those
things
is
it.
It
may
very
well
be
that
there
are
people
here
for
those
reasons,
and
it
doesn't
mean
you
can't
speak
it's
just
giving
a
little
bit
of
context
on
that,
because
I
am
a
little
concerned
that
we
may
not
get
to
everyone.
A
So
if
you
can
summarize
your
thoughts
in
less
than
three
minutes,
we
would
certainly
greatly
appreciate
that
all
right,
one
other
thing
I've,
just
because
we
have
to
this
and
I'm,
not
counting
this
against
public
comment.
We
have
a
former
mayor
mayor,
jesse,
smart
in
the
audience
and
former
councilman
jim
firoun
in
the
audience.
Thank
you.
It
is
a
very
long-standing
service
to
our
community.
We
want
to
thank
both
of
you
and
duty.
Stearns
who's
just
walked
in
the
door
as
well.
Okay,
thank
you
all
for
your
service.
H
H
Detailed
about
a
half
a
dozen
initiatives
which
taken
together
might
save
the
city
up
to
a
million,
perhaps
a
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
per
year,
if
all
were
to
pass,
muster
that
they
could
reduce
the
deficit
by
one
third
to
one
half.
Alas,
none
of
these
initiatives
are
possible,
given
the
funding
of
their
financial
structure.
Payback
on
such
projects
always
requires
more
than
one
year.
A
precondition
for
a
business
deal
is
a
multi-year
contract
and
city
policy
prohibits
multi-year
contracts.
H
What
does
this
mean?
It
means
that
we
are
forced
to
run
a
city
of
78,000
people
as
if
it
were
early
20th
century
cash
in
cash
out,
momsen,
pom,
Sakura,
Mommsen,
Pop's,
grocery
store.
It
means
that
department
chairs
are
forced
to
sign
a
single
year
contract
that
precludes
multi-year
contracts
that
involve
more
competition
and
lower
costs.
I,
don't
know
the
history
of
this
policy.
There
was
no
doubt
good
reason
and
good
intent
to
find
it.
Perhaps
there
were
costly
mistakes
in
multi-year
contracts.
The
ban
may
have
solved
this
problem,
but
it's
across
the
board.
H
Imposition
has
given
rise
to
other
more
serious
problems.
I
therefore
requested
you
review
this
policy
and
explore
more
flexible
alternatives.
There's
a
second
concern.
Some
citizens
doubt
the
city's
ability
to
spend
their
tax
dollars
wisely.
They
might
object
to
any
changes.
This
concern
also
has
a
solution.
Several
energy
companies
for
energy
service
companies,
what
are
called
esko's,
have
expressed
an
interest
in
doing
business
with
Bloomington.
These
companies
are
experts
at
slashing
utility
bills
and
other
city
expenses.
Esko's
can
provide
turnkey
solutions,
saving
cities
and
schools,
hundreds
of
thousands,
even
millions
of
dollars
per
year.
H
Energy
saving
contracts
represent
classic
win-win
public-private
partnerships
in
about
two
months
time
and
ESCO
can
develop
a
free
of
charge.
Business
case
with
ballpark
estimates
of
the
savings
Bloomington
would
get
under
a
contract
with
a
green
light
to
proceed.
One
ESCO
then
completes
an
investment
grade
audit,
after
which
they
will
legally
guarantee.
Let
me
stress
that
legally
guarantee
so
many
hundred
thousands
of
dollars
in
savings
per
year
for
the
life
of
the
contract.
My
second
request,
then,
is
that
you
empower
mr.
Rasmussen
and
his
staff
to
initiate
one
or
more
business
case
studies
by
ESCOs.
H
I
I'm
Jesse
smart
I'm
here
tonight
as
president
of
the
homeowners
association,
it
pray
Vista
and
strictly
to
thank
your
city
manager
and
Parks
and
Rec
director
we're
getting
things
underway
from
the
18th
hole
at
Prairie.
Mr.
golf
course
I
think
that'll
help
solve
some
of
your
revenue
problems
because
I've
had
so
many
people
that
don't
live
out
there.
Of
course
those
of
us
live.
They
don't
golf
like
the
people
from
other
places,
but
they
say
that
we
get
that
fixed
they'll
be
playing
there.
I
J
I've
done
a
bowl
and
I
live
in
Ward
2.
This
is
going
to
be
about
the
budget
and
I'm
very
thankful
for
mr.
Rasmussen
he's
been
doing
a
wonderful
job
and
I'm
very
thankful
for
mr.
Kersh,
because
he's
been
pushing
for
years
to
get
the
street
fund
it
and
also
patty
patty
Lynn,
because
she
also
does
a
wonderful
job
here
and
she's
been
saying
over
and
over
for
years.
That
revenue
is
flat
and
usage
is
down
and
nobody's
paying
attention.
J
I
have
a
recommendation
to
save
money
by
defunding
the
nonprofit's
they
already
receive
tax
benefits
and
instead
of
instead
of
funding
them
I
think
that
you
should
personally
go
out
and
support
them
and
solicit
support
of
your
friends.
Okay
and
I'm
also
going
to
ask:
where
is
streets
2.0
the
sewer
text
or
the
sewer
rates
were
increased
to
allow
Street
repair
and.
J
There
were
the
motor
fuel
tax
was
asked
to
be
increased.
My
concern
about
the
motor
fuel
tax
was
I.
Don't
want
to
lose
the
long
range
truckers
I
want
to
make
sure
they
come
in,
because
that's
out
of
town
revenue
that
we
can
use
and
I
don't
know
if
you're
aware
that
administrative
fees
are
taken
out
of
the
sewer
front
to
administer
I
guess
it
concerns
me
that
the
council
will
hesitate
to
raise
motor
fuel
tax,
but
will
consider
hiring
people
for
the
BC,
PA
and
I'm
just
wondering
priorities.
J
Please
reduce
funding
for
economic
development
and
apply
that
to
roads.
We
would
not
have
three
million
dollar
deficit,
but
for
the
purchase
of
three
million
dollars
of
land
downtown
the
TIF
districts.
Balance
is
negative.
Quality
of
roads
reflect
the
quality
of
city
leadership,
liquor,
license
fees
were
for
the
police
and
I'm
wondering
if
there
is
revenue
over
expenses
on
that
and
where
that
revenue
went
I
want
you
to
I'm
like
whenever
you
decide
on
something.
J
You
say
that
you
cannot
continue
just
to
cut
and
I
say
you
can
cut,
sell
or
any
benefits
and
I
say
you
cannot
continue
to
raise
taxes
because
the
tax
base
is
diminishing
and
I
refer
to
you
again
to
the
Salaf
liquor.
We
are
on
this
side.
Girls
is
going
down.
The
task
pace
is
going
down.
We
need
to.
We
need
to
cut
as
much
as
possible
down
to
the
bone.
J
After
observing
the
council
for
four
budget
cycles
and
the
budget
task
force,
I'm
very
disappointed
in
the
performance,
the
council's
so
far,
I
tend
to
I
tend
to
tie
people
to
what
they've
done
in
the
past
what
they
will
do
in
the
future
and,
hopefully
I'm
sorry
Donna
your
times.
Okay,
hopefully
I'll
see
Judy.
K
Thank
you
I'm
here
about
the
Alderman's
comments
from
last
council
meeting.
There's
a
little
rough
listening
to
it.
I
finally
found
out
what
would
outraged
the
council,
it
would
engage
them
and
it
turns
out
that
the
mayor's
comments
that
perhaps
you
were
celebrating
tabling
the
welcoming
ordinance.
That
was
an
outrageous
thing
and
were
you
surprised
when
there
was
a
very
unpleasant
exchange
between
mayor
and
aldermen
painter?
Did
that
surprise
you?
K
Shortly
after
that
we
heard-
or
we
read
the
prepared
written
remarks
to
a
local
blogger,
that
she
was
quote
a
human
piece
of
garbage
and
that's
a
compliment,
and
please
quote
me:
we
heard
that
too
and
the
excuse
that
she
had
attacked
his
son.
You
weren't
interested
in
knowing
whether
that
was
true
or
not,
nor
even
interested
in
discussing
it,
a
quick
ceinture
and
on
we
go
and
on
we
go
to
what
we
now
have
today.
K
Recently
there
was
a
letter
in
the
paper.
Some
of
you
may
have
seen
it.
It
wasn't
written
by
just
you
know:
Joe
Blow
on
the
street,
so
to
speak,
is
guy
and
within
Flickr
guy
is
known
internationally,
certainly
as
a
Lincoln
scholar
and
we've
an
held
office,
many
years
as
Township
Supervisor,
quite
honorably
here
in
the
city
and
that
township
of
Bloomington,
and
they
said
something
very
serious
about
the
state
that
this
council
and
this
mayor
has
reached
and
what
they
said
is
it's
gone
beyond
embarrassing.
It's
now
disgraced.
K
You
have
disgraced
the
city
and
and
I
agree
with
them.
100%
in
this
council.
Those
of
you
who
were
here
you
have
sat
by
and
watched
and
when
you're
interested
when
you're
interested
in
that
holistic
attack
occurred
on
me,
stop
you
had
intervened,
I,
think
Kevin,
Lauer
intervened
and
people
were
shocked,
but
what
happened?
Absolutely
nothing.
We
are
here
today
for
a
reason.
We
all
know
the
quote
that
came
from
Jewish
and
I
wasn't
Jew
yeah.
They
came
to
the
aldermen
that
came
after
a
local
blogger.
K
Somebody
came
and
viciously
attack
and
abused,
and
it
wasn't
you
so
it
was
okay,
okay
and
then
they
came
for
you.
Finally,
a
Tara
and
a
microaggression
count
something
or
other
and
many
were
interested,
but
there
was
no
one
left
to
speak
out
and
even
if
there
was
someone
left,
there
was
no
one
left.
L
L
Do
the
right
thing
to
do
it
right,
the
first
time
and
quit
doing
it
over
it's
a
patch
job?
That's
not
gonna
hold
I'm
embarrassed
for
anyone
to
see
the
streets,
how
they're
maintained
and
a
good
share
of
the
blame
goes
with
this
council
and
the
past
councils,
not
to
mention
the
former
administration
I
guess
it
concerns
me
that
the
mayor,
unfortunately,
does
not,
unfortunately,
one
another
term,
but
not
by
the
landslide.
That
he'd,
like
some
people
to
believe
the
former
city
manager,
had
a
solid
door
with
no
windows,
and
he
shut
that
up.
L
So
no
one
could
see
what
was
being
done
on
the
inside
indirectly
we're
paying
the
cost
of
the
city
share
of
resurfacing
the
streets
by
taxes
and
Home,
Rule
taxes,
sales
taxes
and
you
can't
get
enough.
It
seems
like
you
spent
every
colossi
dime
that
you
get
and
when
the
small
car
hits
a
pothole,
it
does
quite
a
bit
of
damage.
Yet
the
city
trucks
are
the
ones
some
of
them
that
are
causing
the
damage
and
not
as
much
as
construction
trucks.
L
I,
don't
see
the
city
doing
anything
about
it,
except
matching
it
up
after
people
scream
loud
enough,
the
sidewalks,
the
condition
of
the
sidewalks
is
a
tripping
hazard.
I
would
think
that
the
city
would
take
care
of
the
streets
and
sidewalks
and
stop
raising
taxes
if
they
have
to
take
it
out
of
your
entertainment
fund.
Terry
I
know
that
this
is
not
popular
with
you
and
I'm,
not
popular
and
I,
really
don't
care.
The
last
time
you
shot
me
off.
Thank
you.
That's
all
I've
got
to
say.
Okay.
M
Thank
you
and
I'll
keep
this
brief
as
well.
I'm
like
former
mayor,
smart
I'm,
the
past
president
of
the
Provost
of
men's
golf,
Association
and
I'm
here
to
express
our
support
for
reopening
the
18th
tee
as
it
as
it
was
designed
and
thinking
what
to
say
here,
kind
of
like
a
good
book,
we've
ruined
the
ending
on
the
book
and
when
you
finish
the
day,
you
leave
with
kind
of
a
sad
taste
in
your
mouth.
So
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
could
restore
that
and
give
it
the
ending
that
it
deserves.
N
N
N
All
right,
you
know,
I
would
like
to
bring
a
solution.
What
the
solution
is,
I
have
a
couple
and
I'll
share
them
with
you.
So
if,
if
it
means
to
go
harder,
tougher
fines
on
these
landlords
I'm
all
for
it
I'm
all
for
it,
if
it
means
that's,
gonna
shut
them
down.
Why
not?
Let's
do
it
these
this
apartment?
These
apartments
here
take
up
about
four
to
six
habitat
homes.
We
can
make
a
fort.
N
We
can
glue
some
affordable
housing
there
currently
MCC
a
project
guys
youth
build,
are
looking
for
a
whole
fordable
housing
for
young
adults.
This
is
a
perfect
location
for
it.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
if
we
can
do
that.
What
we
can't
do
is
continue
to
let
these
landlords
get
away
with
not
fixing
their
their
property.
N
There
was
a
I'm
gonna
quote
a
recent
article,
I
read
yesterday
that
disappointed
me
and
I
quote:
if
we
want
to
be
very
tough
on
them
and
shut
them
down,
I'm
thinking
steak
I'm
talking
about
the
landlords,
then
what
we're
doing
is
eliminating
some
of
the
housing
opportunity.
Opportunities
for
low-income
residents,
I
disagree.
N
N
That
is
disappointed,
disappointing
and
unacceptable
to
me
in
closing,
I
like
to
end
it
on
a
positive
note,
but
I'd
like
to
thank
the
Public
Works
staff
for
their
keeping
our
streets
clean
this
winter
with
the
snow
and
currently
furiously
trying
to
cover
up
all
those
potholes
I
want
to
thank
them
like
also
thank
the
Bloomington
Police
Department
for
the
recent
arrest
of
the
cocaine
and
heroin
distributors
in
town,
that's
great
news,
and,
lastly,
the
all
the
fire
departments,
especially
when
the
fire
department
on
the
response
to
the
Gettysburg
apartment
fires.
Thank.
M
M
O
Freelance
articles
and
Terry
Manor
mayor
Tara
Turner,
is
in
the
Wikipedia
article
and
I
bring
that
to
your
attention.
There
is
one
paragraph
in
there:
I'm
gonna
read
it
to
you.
It
says,
after
a
purchase
for
a
flight
to
Japan
for
his
lady
friend
Margot
Ehrlich,
that
she
reimbursed
the
city
for
over
two
months
before
the
trip
began.
Mr.
Rayner
or
mayor
Renner
comes
under
investigation.
O
There
is
always
I'm
going
to
show
this
here:
revision
history
out
of
Wikipedia,
of
all
that
information,
and
some
people
use
synonyms.
I
personally
have
revised
a
couple
things
in
there
that
was
in
November,
16th
and
October
24th
of
last
year,
but
I
think
it
just
behooves
us
knowing
that
this
is
an
incident
in
bloomington-normal
or
Bloomington,
that
the
council
needs
to
just
really
look
into
moving
on
I
know.
All
of
my
Schmidt
asked
for
tabling
of
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
the
Friends
of
the
BCP,
a
I
bring
up
my
public
opinion
to
this.
O
M
P
Go
ahead,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
and
thank
you
all
you
all
the
council
members
I
wrote
this
so
that
I
won't
run
on
like
I.
Usually
do
so
pardon
me,
but
I'm
gonna.
Just
read
this.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
Let
me
be
clear:
I
am
in
support
of
any
business
coming
to
Bloomington
Illinois,
whose
location
is
not
a
negative.
I
sent
each
one
of
you,
an
email
expressing
some
of
my
issues
against
the
concept
of
the
circle-k
at
the
corner
of
her.
She
rode
in
GE
road.
Also.
P
You've
received
an
email
with
some
in-depth
research
regarding
gas,
slash,
convenience
stores.
Hopefully
all
of
you
have
had
a
chance
to
read
that
in
case
you
haven't
been
able
to
do
so.
I'd
like
to
recap
some
of
the
information
included
in
the
research.
It
is
strongly
recommended
by
professional
organizations
that
a
minimum
separation
of
300
feet
between
gas
pumps
and
sensitive
land
such
as
daycare
centers,
that
can't
be
met
if
this
site
is
developed
as
indicated.
In
addition,
there
will
be
underground
tanks
right
next
to
a
flood
plain.
The
research
also
states.
P
Another
CERN
is
the
effect
on
the
health
of
the
children
at
the
daycare
that
is
immediately
next
door
to
the
project
gas
stations
produce
benzene,
while
cars
are
being
filled,
and
that
is
a
serious
threat
to
the
health
of
the
children,
as
well
as
the
adults
and
as
the
World
Health
Organization
states.
There
are
no
safe
levels
of
benzene.
P
All
of
these
do
not
address
the
issue
of
probable
increased
crime.
There
is
already
considerable
crime
that
can
be
associated
with
rainbow
Avenue.
One
block
from
this
site
add
that
to
the
data
about
increased
crime
at
free-standing,
gas,
/,
convenience
stores
and
the
negative
statistics
continue
to
grow.
According
to
a
report
by
the
National
Association
of
convenience
stores,
71
percent
of
robberies
at
convenience
stores
involved
handguns
that
we
want
to
take
the
chance
that
this
might
happen
immediately
immediately
next
door
to
a
daycare
center
that
was
established
in
1995.
P
A
D
Evening,
it's
hard
for
me
to
be
up
here
this
evening,
because
I
have
things
to
say
that
are
not
complimentary
and
you
all
know
me
and
that's
not
my
style,
but
because
I
went
home
from
the
last
meeting.
I
was
upset
over
things
that
went
on
I
lost
tonight,
sleep
over
it,
I
was
at
Walgreens
the
next
day,
I
heard
people
discussing
it.
D
I
heard
it
at
the
grocery
store
and
so
I've
put
a
few
notes
together
when
a
mayor
publicly
badmouth
his
council
through
papers,
press
and
the
public,
then
conveniently
forgets
what
he
said:
that's
bad
practice
and
deception.
When
you
interrupt
a
councilmember
while
she's
speaking
in
order
to
hide
the
truth,
that's
deception.
When
you
tell
the
press
that
she
screeched
at
you,
it's
a
lie.
She
didn't
screech
at
you.
She
raised
her
voice
in
order
to
be
heard.
D
She
had
the
floor
at
the
time
and
she
wasn't
able
to
say
what
she
wanted
to
say
in
these
things.
Terry
I
worry
because
it
shows
a
bad
face
on
character
and
it
bothers
me
greatly.
You
also
added
to
the
press
that
your
own
interpretation
of
why
both
Karen
and
Johnny
were
angry
with
you,
you,
you
changed
their
comments
and
their
reasons
to
suit
yourself.
That's
deception.
D
When
you
find
ways
to
rid
yourself
from
someone
on
a
commission
because
they
don't
agree
to
your
cut,
they
don't
agree
with
your
commands
that
not
only
shows
a
lack
of
courtesy
to
the
people
of
Bloomington,
but
also
is
very
a
deceptive
practice
when
you
want
bar
cavern
owners
to
dish
out
more
of
their
income
when
the
city
already
takes
enough
revenue
from
them.
It's
wrong.
D
The
police
department
knows
what's
best
if
they
think
it's
going
to
cause
more
issues
and
problems.
We
really
need
to
listen
to
him.
When
you
talk
about
frivolous
spending,
while
we're
almost
in
the
three
million
dollar
deficit,
we
should
really
be
questioning
why
we're
buying
lands
and
buildings
and
whining
lavish
schools
when
you
have
to
zigzag
through
the
streets
weaving
in
and
out
like
a
drunks
or
the
pot
Hills
potholes.
D
D
A
C
Just
introduced
myself
very
quickly,
my
name
is
Toni
Scarlett
in
the
real
estate
development
manager
for
mass
convenience
stores.
I
will
be
here
when
our
petition
is
her
later
on.
If
he
constable
has
any
questions
and
I
appreciate
your
time
tonight.
Okay,.
A
Q
My
name
is
Betty
torn
my
issues
concerning
a
circle-k
truck
stop
gas
station.
The
proposed
site
map
does
not
tell
the
whole
picture
pictures
tell
the
pictures
and
I've
submitted
things
to
you
guys.
The
site
is
30.
The
driveway
for
this
gas
station
is
30
feet
from
the
playground
of
the
daycare
center.
Q
That's
about
the
width
of
this
room,
you're
going
to
have
the
driveway
for
the
gas
station,
which
is
having
all
this
traffic,
the
trucks
etc,
and
that's
not
healthy
Jim
addressed
that
the
driveway
is
also
going
to
make
it
harder
for
the
workers
and
the
people
who
go
there
for
their
egress
and
and
going
into
their
parking
lot.
They
already
have
trouble
with
getting
in
and
off
and
on
to
her.
She,
the
Circle
K,
is
also
across
the
street
from
the
hedgewood
subdivision
park.
Q
This
is
where
the
for
our
families
for
the
residents
of
town
and
we're
concerned
about
not
only
the
location
of
the
circle-k,
but
the
message
it's
sending
is
that
the
gaming
and
gambling
and
loitering
is
okay,
and
this
is
what
the
city
is
promoting
the
location
of
this
place
at
Hershey
and
GE.
It's
not
a
gas
station
desert
in
less
less
than
a
mile
away.
There
are
two
gas
stations
within
a
one-mile
radius.
There
are
seven
gas
stations
within
a
two
mile
radius.
There
are
ten
gas
stations.
Q
Another
circle-k
is
only
two
and
a
half
miles
east.
We
don't
need
another
gas
station,
especially
in
this
location.
Flood
plain
when
the
GE
Road
was
redesigned,
the
four-lane
went
in
the
railroad
bed
went
down
the
mayor,
we
were
the
residents,
we
were
said,
not
one
shovel
of
dirt
should
be
touched
or
moved
inside
the
floodplain
and
the
residents
and
contractors
complied
now.
The
city
economic
developer
coordinator
wants
to
cover
almost
two-thirds
of
this
lot.
Q
The
GE
Hershey
corner
lot,
which
has
a
designated
floodplain
and
they're
going
to
cover
it
with
cement
and
asphalt,
and
the
snow
they're
going
to
a
reserve,
remove
the
surface
absorption
areas
and
they'll.
We
increase
the
speed
and
flow
of
rain
and
snow
into
the
Sugar
Creek
and
it
could
possibly
may
negatively
impact
the
properties
both
upstream
and
downstream
street
repair.
Q
The
residential
city
streets
were
not
built
to
withstand
a
truck
stop
surfaces
at
this
intersection
are
currently
deteriorating
and
the
picture
shows
that
there
are
potholes
in
whatever,
and
so
Hershey
you
know
is
a
north-south
artery
ge
Road
as
an
east-west
artery
and
our
streets
are
not
designed
to
hold
this
kind
of
truck
diesel
fuel
kind
of
trucks.
Another
thing,
as
our
town
has
a
plethora
of
gaming
project
locations
there
in
restaurants,
bars
gas
stations,
convenience
stores,
clubs,
private
clubs,
etc.
They
surround
this
part
of
town.
We
do
not
need
another
gaming
right.
R
I'll
be
quick
I
just
wanted
to
advocate
in
your
discussions
on
the
garbage
fees
that
you
retained
the
$16
fee
for
the
35
gallon
tan.
There
are
many
households
in
the
city
with
one
in
two
occupants,
many
of
them
on
pensions.
I
was
reading
through
some
of
the
information
that
was
on
the
website
today
and
Jim
karch
had
a
meeting
with
some
of
the
employees
to
get
their
comments,
one
that
I
read
said
that
they
should
do
away
with
a
35
gallon
can
because
many
people
have
used
it
well,
there's
a
simple
solution
for
that.
R
Two
Saturdays
ago,
in
this
city,
so
the
last
five
times
I've
driven
by
this
area
as
you
leave
tonight,
and
you
go
up
the
parking
lot,
they're
turning
right,
there's
two
cans,
I
think
one
of
them's
a
recycle.
Can
it's
for
the
parking
deck
or
underneath
the
police
parking
deck
on
each
of
those
five
occasions.
Those
trash
cans
are
over
full
with
the
legs
up,
so
the
city
could
do
provide
a
little
better
example.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
F
F
A
A
S
In
reviewing
a
minute,
the
last
section
of
the
minutes
contain
an
area
called
Alderman
comments
and,
as
we
know,
we
participated
in
some
robust
comments
and
and
some
exchanges
of
ideas.
Those
are
not
reflective
reflected
in
the
current
version
of
the
minutes,
and
so
my
suggestion
is
that
we
strike
this
item
from
tonight's
agenda
for
revisions
that
are
more
reflective
of
the
exchanges
and
bring
that
back
at
another
time.
Thank
you
is.
S
S
T
U
I,
just
wanna
make
sure
I
understand
what
you
were
looking
for
autumn
in
Bray,
so
the
minutes
as
they
stand
or
a
general
overview
of
comments,
they're
not
terribly
specific,
which
is
our
standard
practice.
Are
you
asking
that
we
change
our
standard
practice
to
be
more
specific,
or
do
you
believe
that
the
current
summary
is
in
any
way
inaccurate.
B
S
I'd
like
us
to
have
an
opportunity
to
step
away
and
study
what
these
alderman
comments
are
supposed
to
represent,
which
would
be
accurate
statements
about
the
exchange.
I
don't
find
that
they
currently
do
that
so
I'd
like
them
to
be
pulled
from
tonight's
meeting,
and
everyone
have
an
opportunity
to
review
them
and
perhaps
knit
their
own
comments
of
what
was
exchanged,
and
then
we
bring
them
back
in
a
future
meeting.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
A
S
J
S
V
V
A
W
Our
packet,
we
have
an
option
to
replace
the
batteries
and
the
existing
cards
for
fifty
one
thousand
or
replace
all
of
them
for
a
hundred
and
fifty
five
thousand,
and
is
there
more
to
this?
Why
we're
making
the
choice
to
spend
that
extra
hundred
thousand
dollars
I'm
just
looking
for
some
clarification
here.
V
The
the
batteries
are
just
part
of
the
equation
that
carts
themselves
right
now
are
are
six
years
old
and
other
components
are
also
starting
to
fail
and
with
that
large
amount
of
money
going
into
those,
it
really
forces
those
to
keep
those
longer
than
what
we
would
want
to,
and
we
would
see
other
expensive
things
like
controllers
tires
need
to
be
replaced.
Other
things
would
really
start
to
add
up
with
that.
So
that
was
why
the
decision
was
made.
The
batteries
are
just
a
part
of
it,
but
other
things
are
starting
to
go
as
well.
V
W
V
A
Thank
you
at
this
point,
then.
Is
there
a
motion
on
the
floor?
Alderman
I
wouldn't
make
that
motion
motion
to
approve
as
presented
correct.
Okay.
Is
there
a
second
second
by
all
the
woman
Schmidt
any
further
discussion?
Seeing
none
go
ahead
and
vote
all
them
in
mathy
how's
your
vote.
How
do
you
vote
for
a
minute?
Okay,
the
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce
them.
A
Madam
Clerk,
all
right
now
we
move
on
to
our
regular
agenda
item
9a
and
discussion
on
various
ordinances
to
amend
chapter
21
of
the
city
code
and
we
have
three
possible
motions
here.
We
start
out,
though,
with
a
presentation
by
mr.
Clark
on
these
and
then
I
will
entertain
other
questions
or
motion
afterwards.
Mr.
carts,
you
have
the
floor.
Thank.
X
You
Marin
City
Council,
so
tonight
we
will
continue
the
solid
waste
dialogue.
The
last
council
meeting
on
February
12th,
the
council
directed
staff
to
bring
back
multiple
hybrid
options,
both
including
service
level
changes
and
fee
increases.
So
we
can
bridge
the
1.1
1.2
million
dollar
general
fund
subsidy
tonight,
all
three
of
the
options
before
you
do
provide
for
the
bridging
of
that
gap
of
the
general
fund
subsidy.
So
that's
that's
one
of
the
key
things
is.
X
Very
briefly,
we
have
been
making
modifications
to
our
solid
waste
website
and
then
another
a
couple
things
that
we
talked
about
thing
on
the
council
floor
of
providing
education
so
that
how
can
you
fit
more
of
you
know
some
of
the
bulk
that
is
put
on
the
curb
really
could
fit
into
the
cart
so
I.
So
some
of
these
we're
working
with
Nora
Dooku.
It's
our
Communications
Manager
on
trying
to
develop
some
additional
educational
pieces
on
how
we
can
better
leverage
our
existing
cart
system
to
be,
you
know,
be
able
to
partner
with
that.
X
So
we
are
trying
to
do
some
of
that
actively
and
then
I
would
like
to
highlight
Michael,
Brown
or
Akkad.
The
ecology,
Action
Center
executive
director
is
here
with
us
tonight.
He'll
be
making
a
presentation
in
just
a
little
bit
on
a
separate
item,
but
I
would
like
to
highlight
our
partnership
with
the
ecology,
Action
Center,
and
putting
emphasis
on
a
new
app
that
is
out
there.
It
is
a
recycle
coach.
You
can
go
on
Apple
or
I,
you
know
iTunes
or
your
favorite
Android
site
and
be
able
to
download
that
app.
X
We
want
to
highlight
all
of
the
ordinances
before
you
tonight
take
into
account
some
of
these
following
things
that
we
would
be
looking
to
do
in
the
next
few
years,
leveraging
some
of
the
Global
Positioning
System
GPS
on
our
different
trucks,
we're
looking
to
do
some
route
optimization
to
relook
at
our
even
our
existing
routes.
You
know
maybe
even
having
to
change
some
of
our
our
current
days
in
which
collection
is
done.
Those
are
major
endeavors
for
a
community,
but
are
there
opportunities?
We
have
to
look
at
that.
X
We
have
to
try
to
find
that
we
want
to
try
to
leverage
other
technology
in
this
next
year
of
or
whenever
we
have
new
substitute
drivers.
It
might
not
be
used
to
route.
That
might
be
helpful
if
we
look
at
on
call
demand
for
service.
Those
routing
software
would
really
be
helpful.
We'll
also
be
looking
at
trying
to
leverage
knuckle
booms
as
a
way
to
not
replace
the
fleet
in
one
year,
but
look
for
opportunities
to
add
that
to
to
supplement
that
one
person,
type
collection
system
for
maybe
brush
might
be
an
effective
thing.
X
We
can
look
at
that.
Roloffs
is
another
facet
at
our
drop-off.
We
might
be
able
to
leverage
some
additional
efficiencies
in
that
area,
and
then
we
be
looking
to
restructure
and
reclassify
some
of
our
existing
staff
so
that
we
can
better
utilize
the
cyclical
nature
of
the
solid
waste
industry.
There
are
times
of
the
year
where
it's
just
very
busy
and
we
need
extra
staff
and
then
there's
other
times.
X
We
might
be
able
to
put
them
our
employees
more
toward
the
needed
street
effort
that
we
hear
all
about,
and
then
the
other
facet
I
really
want
to
highlight
is
low-income
feed
discount.
There
was
an
error
in
the
packet
that
ordinance
one
struck
out
the
low-income
fee
section,
and
that
is
incorrect.
The
option
one
ordinance
one
in
your
packet,
all
of
them
include
the
low-income
feed
discount.
That's
an
important
clarification
for
you.
Let
me
continue
on
the
other
facet.
That
we
believe
is
very
important.
Is
this
ongoing
3%?
X
We
understand
that
can
be
difficult,
but
we
want
to
highlight
some
facets
of
why
that's
important,
instead
of
coming
back
after
you
know
a
few
years
and
trying
to
really
ramp
up
fees
when
they're
done
smorc
phul,
they
also
take
into
account
the
reality
of
our
operation.
We
want
to
highlight
the
fact
that
we
have
multiple
contracts,
our
landfill
disposal.
It
increases
on
an
annual
basis.
3%.
We
have
our
construction
and
demolition
contract
which
we'll
be
taking
to
the
council
within
60
days
for
another
renewal.
X
That
also
is
looking
to
be
an
increase
of
a
3%
on
an
annual
basis.
We
have
labor
costed
on
an
annual
basis
increase.
All
of
those
aspects
do
continue
to
increase.
The
other
facet
to
highlight
is
this:
is
an
enterprise
fund?
We've
talked
about
that
many
times.
It
is
never
paid
for
itself
once
if
the
council,
when
the
council
takes
action-
and
we,
unlike
sheriff
when
the
council
takes
action-
and
we
have
this
general
fund
subsidy
eliminated
you're,
just
bridging
a
one
gap.
There
is
no
reserve
fund,
there's
no
accounting
for
the
future.
X
With
our
equipment,
we
are
still
leasing,
equipment,
best
management
practices
to
start
building
up
your
reserve
once
you
purchase
that
to
pay
for
cash
instead
of
leveraging
lease
payments,
so
we
are
trying
to
make
sure
we
also
plan
for
the
future.
So
those
are
the
reasons
why
we
think
that's
important.
We
want
to
highlight,
for
you,
we've
heard
the
council
that
we
will
be
looking
to
bring
in
the
future
some
additional
ordinances
about.
How
do
we
deal
with
landlords?
Some
issues
with
potential
landlords,
I'm
thankful
for
Community,
Development,
they've,
been
great
partners.
I
actually
think.
X
There's
some
really
good
opportunities
for
us
to
have
some
healthy
dialogue
moving
forward.
So
we'd
like
to
do
that
in
a
separate,
separate
basis,
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
dialogue
that
will
take
to
go
around
that
I
think
we're
gonna
need
to
interact
with
landlords
to
really
have
a
good
discussion
on
the
issue,
but
I
think
we
can
look
at
that.
We
can
also
look
at
other
aspects
of
our
program
that
are
more
business
related,
such
as
trailer
courts,
mobile
home
units
in
the
range
above,
for
there
are
many
communities
that
don't
serve.
X
Those
higher
units-
and
there
are
some
operational
issues
with
those
let's
get
into
ordinances-
the
three
options
you
have
before
you
tonight.
The
first
one
is
that
high
service
level
high
fee
increase
it's
a
flat
fee.
The
flat
fee
system-
we've
told
you
before
publicly
is
$26.
That
would
be
for
every
cart,
so
the
every
cart
would
cost
would
be
$26
across-the-board.
That
would
mean
if
the
council
were
to
choose
this
option
there
would
be
absolutely
no
changes
in
any
of
the
service
level
that
we
currently
have.
X
Everything
would
stay
the
same
as
we
as
we
have
right
now,
bi-weekly
from
bulk
brush
and
weekly
for
garbage,
and
so
again
nothing
would
change
with
the
drop-off
facility
as
well.
Ordinance
number
two
is
where
we
do
have
some
changes
to
our
service
level,
and
we
also
have
some
fee
increases,
but
not
as
as
dramatic
in
that
way.
So
we're
trying
to
balance
that
the
reason
why
we
say
it
is
not
as
drastic
with
some
of
the
service
level
changes
is.
X
We
are
offering
free
spring
and
fall
collection
of
bulk
waste,
with
no
limit
of
what
you
put
out,
but
then
the
key
is
in
January.
It's
it's
not
the
spring.
It's
a
very
low
cost,
for
if
somebody
can't
bring
it
to
the
drop-off
for
extended
hours
at
$25
for
a
bucket,
that's
really
we're
trying
to
keep
the
cost
significantly
below
what
it
would
be,
our
actual
service
charge.
X
If
we
were
to
do
full
cost
recovery
so
trying
to
balance
that
out
of
some
trying
to
encourage
residents
to
do
some
of
the
getting
something
that
hopefully
you've
got.
Not
everybody
has
access
to
truck.
Not
everything
can
fit
in
an
trunk.
So
if
you
don't
have
that
ability,
you
can
still
put
it
the
curb
for
a
reasonable
price
brush.
There
would
be
no
change.
We
would
be
looking
at
the
drop-off
to
extend
those
hours
to
try
to
make
it
more
accommodating
and
more
like
longer
into
the
evening.
X
So
it's
better
for
people
that
maybe
have
that
nine-to-five
type
job,
so
they
can
still
take
their
material
there
as
well,
and
that
would
be
a
four
dollar
increase
on
the
sixty-five
gallon
and
the
95
gallon
next
year,
with
no
change
in
the
35
gallon
and
the
low
income
fee
will
move
on
to
op
ordinance,
3
ordinance
3.
Is
that
one
where
we're
having
more
impact
to
our
services
and
we're
having
less
increase
in
our
fees?
X
And
so
this
would
be
the
spring
and
fall
pickup
with
the
first
bucket
free
$25
per
bucket
after
that
and
outside
of
that
it
is
full
cost
recovery.
If
you
know,
if
we
go
to
your
site
and
be
on
demand,
we
would
charge
what
it
costs
the
city
from
a
labor
equipment
disposal
standpoint.
We
also
a
feedback
from
our
employees,
but
we
see
some
value
in.
We
think
it's
some
benefit
for
our
brush.
X
We
would
be
looking
at
first
and
second
bucket
free,
but
anything
over
that
for
brush
many
times
our
employees
have
found
that's
contractor
work,
unfortunately,
not
always
but
many
times,
they're
finding
that
that
might
have
been
work
done
over
the
weekend
or
something
to
where
that
we,
maybe
not.
We
didn't
see
that,
but
when
you
get
to
a
whole
tree
line
of
brush
there
there's
a
lot
of
times.
That
can
be
something
beyond
what
a
regular
citizen
could
do.
X
So
we
want
to
try
to
encourage
more
of
that
behavior
to
for
people
then
start
bringing
you
know
start
paying
for
some
of
that
cost.
So,
but
a
one
in
two
buckets
is
quite
a
bit
of
material
if
you've
ever
seen
how
much
we
can
get
in
a
bucket,
this
would
have
less
fee
increase
of
$3
and
$3
for
both
the
65
and
95
again
with
no
change
in
the
65
gallon
cart
and
as
well
as
the
low
income
fee.
X
So
we
also
wanted
to
provide
the
the
the
facet
of
the
to
shift
collection
for
garbage
and
recycling.
We
call
that
split
shift
again.
We'd
have
to
really
work
out.
Some
of
the
details
of
that
and
then
we
would
also
charge
for
additional,
recycle
carts
right
now.
We
provide
you
know
additional,
recycle
carts
at
no
additional
charge
we
charge
for
those
additional
recycle
cards,
but
this
would
also
include
that
free,
unlimited
drop-off
with
that.
Let's
talk
really
briefly
about
the
town
of
normal
action.
X
Currently
they
are
looking
at
some
some
changes
with
with
some
of
their
drop-off
facilities,
but
that
they
are
currently
just
evaluating
that
they
did
implement
some
fee
increases.
You
can
see
up
on
the
screen
that
they're
going
in
the
future
up
to
even
$32
in
fiscal
year.
22,
that's
really
off
the
chart
to
the
right,
so
they
are
increasing
their
flat
fee
structure
systems.
So
what
that
means
said
where
we
entertain
any
716
seconds
left
to
go
entertain
any
council
discussion.
Ok,.
Y
Thank
you
and
thank
you
Jim
for
this
information
here.
If
you
could
go
back
to
yes
option
number
2
there
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
get
the
conversation
started,
that
we
move
to
approve
ordinance,
2
the
3%
per
year,
automatic
annual
increase,
so
everything
an
option:
2
the
3
percent
annual
increase,
and
that
like
to
make
some
remarks
advocate
there's
a
second.
Is
there
a
second
to
that
motion.
U
Y
At
this
point
in
time,
we've
really
dissected
solid
waste
and
nauseum
I.
Don't
think
that
there's
any
more
information,
it's
a
political
decision
that
we
have
to
make
here
and
and
I
want
to
advocate
very
strongly
for
option.
2
I'd
like
to
advocate
very
strongly
for
option
2
for
a
couple
of
reasons,
number
one.
It's
a
fair
compromise
piece
I
think
it
captures
what
I
think
staff
has
heard.
Y
The
council
say
is
let's
some
efficiencies,
but
it
also
speaks
to
kind
of
the
the
cost
that
we
haven't
really
been
able
to
address
over
the
last
few
years.
What
I
really
like
about
option
two
is:
it
does
allow
for
that
35
gallon
$16
per
month
flat
fee
and
in
my
mind,
if
you
are
producing
more
trash,
you
should
pay
more
for
it,
and
we
raised
the
fee
on
the
the
water.
Recently,
that's
gonna
be
taking
effect
in
May.
We
start
talking
about
adding
10
dollars
per
month
to
people
who
have
the
smallest
card.
Y
Y
We
cannot
make
more
trash
and
I
feel
like
a
system
in
which
every
cart
fee
is
exactly
the
same.
Those
focuses
why
would
I
just
get
them
the
biggest
cart
and
just
produce
more
trash?
There's
no
incentive
to
recycle,
there's
no
incentive
to
cut
back
this
to
me
is
a
fair
compromise
between
both
drastic
reductions
and
service
and
not
allowing
for
outrageously
increases.
Z
Y
Three
percent
of
sixteen
bucks
or
even
twenty
nine
bucks
is
not
a
lot
of
money,
but
I
want
to
show
the
public
that
we
are
serious
about
how
we're
going
to
look
at
our
program
to
find
every
little
nickel
and
dime
looking
cranny
savings
that
we
possibly
can
and
I.
Think
that
that
taking
that
piece
off
for
now
is
a
way
to
do
that.
AA
AA
What
we
talked
about
it
about
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
because
I
was
worried
about
complacency.
You
know
not
to
be
critical
of
the
staff,
but
I
think
we
we
can
have
a
tendency
to
do.
You
think
that
if
the
money
keeps
coming,
then
you
know
everything's
gonna
be
okay,
so
I
guess
Jim.
Maybe
you
can
talk
to
us
about
and
I
wish.
I
would
have
given
you
a
heads
up
prior
to
this,
but
is
there
a
particular
number
that
you're
trying
to
achieve
you
know
I
I,
don't
want
to
increase
things.
AA
You
know
fees
for
people
but
at
the
same
time
the
idea
of
having
a
reserve
so
that
we
don't
have
to
be
operating
in
emergency
mode.
All
the
time
is
appealing
to
me
so
I
I'd
like
to
know
if
there's
a
particular
number
that
you're
trying
to
achieve
that
would
make
you.
You
know
I
guess
operate
more
soundly
sure.
X
And
this
is
direction
from
our
counsel
that
enterprise
funds
should
have
a
15
percent
reserve
fee
set
aside,
and
that's
that's
the
concern
and
I
appreciate
and
understand
what
what
you're
saying?
Even
if
you
approve
whatever
you
approve
tonight
with
a
three
percent
we
the
goal
for
us,
is
to
increase
efficiency.
So
we
can,
we
can
create
that
reserve
fund.
We
can
and-
and
it
will
take
us
multiple
years
at
that
rate,
even
if
we
we
find
multiple
efficiencies
and
we
save
that
money.
It
will
take
us
a
while,
and
we
can
revisit
that.
X
The
council
has
full
access
to
that
every
year
on
an
annual
basis.
If
the
reserve
fund-
and
you
don't
see
the
efficiencies-
that's
where
you
have
to
hold
as
a
staff
hold
me
accountable
for
not
coming
through
on
what
we're
telling
you
we
will
do
but
I
personally.
That's
why
we're
asking
for
so
that
every
year
this
doesn't
become.
You
know
just
that
solid
waste
churning.
It
allows
us
to
to
have
the
ability
to
fix
this,
this
from
an
efficiency
standpoint
and
get
those
healthy
practices
in
place.
Thank.
AA
You
and
another
thing
that
I
wanted
to
talk
about
I.
Think
in
our
email
conversation
we
it
it's
a
little
bit
difficult
at
times.
Looking
at
the
packet,
you
know
trying
to
bring
that
out.
So
can
you
talk
about
the
fact
that
you
know
in
with
motion
you're
actually
getting
more
value
out
of
it?
You
know
I,
yes,.
X
Well,
let's
talk
about
ordinance
and
number
two,
the
the
one
that
there
has
there's
been
some
support
for
so
far.
So
with
this
one
of
the
facets
that
there
can
be
some
benefit-
and
you
know
we'll-
have
to
see
all
of
these
options-
it's
difficult
from
a
citizen
behavior
standpoint
I
mean
we
can
we
can
throw
these
out
there,
but
how
citizens
will
respond?
You
know
we'll
have
to
see,
and
you
can
project
that,
but
boy
those
are
tough
to
project.
So
with
this
issue
there
are
people
currently
who
pay
for
bulk.
X
That
is
put
out
at
the
curb
for
more
than
one
bucket.
We
have
that
in
place
now
for
anybody
who
puts
to
multiple
buckets
of
mid
bulk
at
the
curb
they're
paying
$25
for
every
additional
bucket.
So
in
this
case
there
are
some
people
that
that
might
be
able
to
say:
oh
I
can
wait
for
the
spring
cleaning
until
you
come
around
in
April
and
then
I
can
I
can
put
that
those
multiple
buckets
at
the
curb
and
that
that
works
for
me
I
can
be
patient
for
that
or
in
the
fall
before
the
winter.
X
X
U
X
Reality
is
the
majority
of
the
cost,
for
us
is
not
in
the
volume
at
the
curb.
The
majority
of
the
vast
majority
I
wish
I
had
a
percentage,
but
I
would
guess
very
high
is
just
to
get
to
that
point.
The
actual
collection
of
the
car.
It
doesn't
cost
that
much
more
from
a
plastic
standpoint
to
make
a
bigger
card.
The
disposal
material
of
the
card
size
isn't
that
much
more
from
a
from
a
weight
standpoint.
So
so
really
the
issue
for
us
is
is
getting
getting
to
the
point
so
that
that
is.
U
U
So
don't
sugarcoat
it
so
my
concern
is
and
number
one
it
was.
A
three
percent
proposed
increase
mataki
about
cost.
We
have
no
control
over
all
right,
so
efficiencies
we
can't
capture.
So
the
landfill
disposal
cost
I
mean
I
I'm,
guessing
that
we
have
no
ability
to
make
that
process
more
efficient,
the
better
the
cost
is
going
to
go
up.
I
think
you
said
on
average
three
percent
per
year,
regardless
of
what
we
do
is
that
correct.
U
So
we
go
with
the
lowest
bid,
but
there,
but
traditionally
there's
been
a
3%
increase
per
year
and
that
in
the
class
event,
so
so
I
well
I'm
very
sympathetic
and
think
that
we
always
need
to
looking
for
efficiencies.
I
think
that
those
pressures
will
continue
to
be
there
because
of
what
else
you
said
and
that
we
we
don't
have
a
fund
balance.
U
Maybe
it
wouldn't
take
another
seven
years,
but
if
it
did,
we
would
be
it
would
be
a
disservice
to
the
residents
in
our
community
who
want
us
to
have
a
balanced
budget,
so
I
know
others
want
to
talk,
but
I'd
like
to
go
ahead.
It
sounds
like
we're
moving
in
the
direction.
Let's
go
ahead
and
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve.
The
motion
is
presented
for
ordinance
2
as
presented
so.
A
F
X
Do
have
enforcement,
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I'll
tell
you
if
I'm
a
benefit
of
talking
to
Bob
Mart,
our
interim
Community
Development
Director,
there
are
some
mechanisms
in
place.
I
think
we
do
need
to
bring
back
to
the
council.
Some
additional
enforcement
modifications
in
our
code
that
well
I
was
very
I,
was
very
impressed.
They
had
some
good
ideas.
F
Glad
to
hear
that
I
am
NOT
going
to
support
an
ordinance
with
an
automatic
3%
increase.
I
think
I
are
very
compelling
for
why
we
need
this
and
why
we
want
to
build
a
reserve,
but
at
this
point
you're
also
going
to
be
be
bringing
forward
to
us
some
other
modifications
that
have
to
do
with
landlords
and
changes
in
bulk
waste
for
I.
F
F
We
have
not
even
had
a
chance
to
evaluate
yet-
and
you
know
so-
maybe
when
you're,
when
you're
beginning
to
price,
that
some
of
the
bulk
ways
for
landlords,
for
example
you
might
you
might
consider
that
in
your
calculations,
so
I
think
that
there
are
many
other
ways
that
we
might
get
to.
That
reserve
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
get
that
first
year,
underneath
our
belts
and
really
understand
that
we
balance
this
we're
paying
for
what
we
need
to
pay
for
and
that
we
may
in
fact
have
an
over
it.
S
X
True,
but
it
is
what
we
have
always
done
with
our
program,
as
we've
always
tried
to
to
encourage
and
incentivize
whenever
we
started,
we
encourage
recycling,
and
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
for
the
tears.
So
you
are
correct,
that's
the
main
driver,
but
we
do
always
want
to
encourage
that
that
recycling
being
the
foundation
of
what
we
do
so.
S
So
the
labor
costs
are
fixed
because
we
have
our
our
Public
Works
works.
Folks
on
on
the
trucks
going
down
the
streets,
regardless
of
how
much
trash
is
in
that
bin
they've
got
to
be
present,
they've
got
to
be
paid,
so
that's
that's
a
big
driver
for
cost
and
then
secondly,
the
equipment,
another
big
driver
having
the
trucks
and
the
like,
so
that
the
concept
that
it's
based
on
volume
I
want
to
reject
that
I
really
don't
think.
That's
that's
the
driver
for
our
costs
and
I.
Don't
see
this
as
a
user
fee.
S
Correlation
problem
for
us
to
solve.
I
see
it
more
as
a
flat
fee
problem
for
us
to
solve,
because
everyone
benefits
the
same
by
having
their
trash
collected
and
by
having
a
clean
community
and
then
finally
I'd
like
to
say
that
I
think
we
should
incentivize
cleanliness
and
clean
community
by
encouraging
folks
to
continue
to
put
out
the
trash
and
have
the
trash
removed
regularly.
I've
lived
in
other
communities
where
you
did
not
have
bulk
included
and
unfortunately
they
were
dumped
sites
that
began
to
grow
up
around
the
community.
S
And
you
come
out
one
morning
and
someone
has
dumped
on
your
property
and
it
creates
conflict
in
neighborhood
and
and
it's
not
attractive
so
as
I
look
at
this
flat
fee,
I'm,
finding
that
I'm
more
favorable
to
ordinance
one
and
when
I
see
the
flat
fee
at
26,
and
you
share.
You
know
a
side-by-side
community
with
us
that
these
are
going
to
look
very
similar,
that
that
is
looking
to
me
like,
like
something
that
probably
matches
just
what
these
costs
really
are
and
the
fairest
way
to
distribute
it.
S
G
Thank
you,
I'm
considering
motion
one
as
well.
I
think
that
it
is
fair
for
everybody
to
pay
the
same
amount
for
our
trash.
Pickup
I
also
know
that
when
we
considered
privatizing
most
everybody
that
I
heard
from
loved
our
garbage
service
and
they
want
to
have
bulk
collection
every
other
week
and
I
just
you
know,
I
think
the
three
percent
is
a
bit
much
I
would
not
want
to
have
that
on
the
motion.
AB
You
I'm
vacillating
between
the
three
percent
and
not
three
percent,
but
given
our
history
with
wages
going
up
every
year,
two
and
a
half
to
three
percent,
we're
gonna,
be
we're.
Gonna
be
coming
back
asking
for
at
least
three
percent
each
year,
just
based
on
salary
increases,
so
I
support
the
motion
to
as
it
stands,
reluctantly
because
we
just
approved
Lake
Bloomington,
getting
privatized,
trash
collection.
A
Y
I
won't
take
too
much
time
here,
I,
just
as
we
vote
on
this
and
I
would
like
to
just
add
a
piece
that
maybe
one
year
from
now,
we
we
mark
on
a
committee
of
the
whole
that
we
talk
about
how
these
this
program
is
working.
Is
it
doing
the
things
that
we
think
that
it's
going
to
be
doing?
Is
it
going
to
be?
Are
we
seeing
our
neighborhoods?
You
know
people
piling
up
trash
in
their
in
their
yards.
Y
G
Also
like
to
remind
everyone
that
the
three-tiered
system
was
one
of
the
ways
that
we
all
fell
apart
on
our
efficiencies,
the
first
time
we
went
through
this,
and
you
know
we
have
asked
the
garbage
department
for
efficiencies
and
not
received
them.
I
would
like
to
double
down
on
making
sure
that
they
do
what
they
say.
They've
been
asked
to
do
so
anyway.
I
just
wanted
to
add
that.
Thank
you
all.
U
A
A
U
A
W
To
me,
the
ordinance
option
number
one
there
I
feel
like
that.
You
know
I
Jim
said
something
that
really
struck
home
for
me,
which
is
there's
no
incentive
for
recycling
in
that
particular
ordinance
at
all.
If
it
doesn't
matter,
you
know
if
everybody's
paying
the
same
rate,
we've
enhanced.
Why
even
bother
with
that?
Why
make
any
effort
whatsoever
to
recycle
the
greater
purpose
of
the
greater
portion
of
your
household
waste
and
try
to
get
that
taken
care
of
you
know,
while
I'm
sympathetic
to
concerns
about
the
$25
per
bucket
pickup
charge
as
well,
Jim.
W
You
know
at
this
point
with
even
this
minuscule
$25
charge
we're
actually
only
asking
residents
to
cover
20%
of
our
actual
costs.
You
deliver
that
service
and
I
mean
that
seems
more
than
generous
to
me.
So
you
know
while
option
one
I,
don't
know
that
option.
One
just
sits
wrong
with
me
and
then
in
regards
to
options.
The
the
3%
automatic
increase
I
mean
how
many
countless
hours
have
we
spent
talking
about
trash
and
even
before
I
was
on
the
council.
W
You
know
we
we
spend
so
many
so
much
staff
time,
and
so
many
you
know,
thought
hours
dealing
with
waste
disposal
that
there
are
other
bigger
picture
concerns
I,
think
that
we
can
be
worried
about
on
how
to
better
optimize
other
city
services
on
how
to
increase
transparency
for
our
citizens
and
how
to
better,
engage
our
citizens
as
opposed
to
keep
talking
about
the
same
subject
over
and
over
and
over
again.
Okay.
U
U
That's
okay,
I
mean,
if
you
don't
mind,
if
I
could
think.
U
U
AA
AA
You
know
there
is
something
in
each
one
that
I
that
I
like,
but
there
is
enough
in
the
two
that
I
don't
like
that:
I'm
not
willing
to
support
those.
So,
for
example,
motion
number
one.
As
Jaime
stated,
it
really
does
not
incentivize
people
who
to
to
produce
less
trash.
In
my
opinion,
you
know
I
even
in
number
two
I,
you
know
I
I,
don't
like
the
fact
that
we're
getting
rid
of
people
being
able
to
just
put
trash
out.
AA
You
know
at
the
curb
you
know
bulk
waste
I
took
at
the
curb
and
have
it
be
picked
up
and
I
wish.
We
could
do
some
of
that
in
motion
too,
but
you
know
it
looks
like
it's
not
gonna
be
no
process
and
I
and
I.
Also
don't
don't
want
to
tinker
too
much
with
what
staff
has
offered.
You
know,
let's
just
go
with
it,
because
I
think
you
know
especially
I
know
that
we
don't
do
so
well
when
we
try
to
tinker
with
things
on
the
floor.
Now.
AA
X
AA
Z
Say,
thank
you.
I'll
be
brief.
Again,
I
will
I
think
align
myself
with
with
what
I've
heard
Scott
suggests,
and
that
is
I
mean
I'm
willing
to
support
motion
to,
but
I
get
a
little
concerned
that
just
adopting
the
3%
puts
us
on
some
kind
of
a
trajectory
right
away
where,
where
I'm
not
sure
we're
going
to
be
as
mindful
for
pro
finding
some
of
those
efficiencies
that
I
think
I
think
we're
going
to
find
I.
Think
that's
a
good
point.
Z
I
think
the
better
point
is
the
one
that
Karen
made,
and
that
is
there
are
other.
There
are
other
recommendations
coming
back.
In
addition,
addendums
to
the
solid
waste
program
on
issues
like
landlord
cleanouts,
some
of
those
other
more
costly
aspects
of
this
in
and
Agana
I
feel
like
we
benefit
when
we
see
more
of
what
the
the
total
cost
benefit.
Z
Analysis
of
this
is
and
and
so
have
not
being
able
to
see
that
and
being
interested
what
you're
going
to
come
back
with
with
some
additional
ordinance
enhancements,
I'll
be
supporting
number
2
without
the
3%
and
voting
for
the
motion
or
voting
against
the
motion.
That's
on
the
floor.
Thank
you.
Okay.
Well,.
A
Given
what
ultimen
Sage
has
just
said
and
I
think
he
kind
of
actually
am
in
many
ways
summarizes
a
little
bit
of
the
conversation
area.
Obviously,
we've
got
many
moving
parts.
We
have
a
motion
on
the
floor.
That
is
s
presented.
That
does
include
the
3%.
If
that
does
not
receive
five
votes
before
we
get
rid
of
option
two,
it
seems.
We've
got
the
other
moving
part
of
actually
Scott's
original
motion,
which
was
option
two
without
the
3%
and
then,
if
that
doesn't
get
five
votes,
then
we
can.
We
can
move
on
all
right.
A
A
A
A
We
move
on
to
number
excuse
me
the
letter,
B
presentation
of
proposed
budget
by
interim
city
manager,
Steve
Rasmussen.
We
have
a
brief
presentation
in
Scott,
Rathburn,
Scott
reference,
Scott,
rappin
and
then
a
brief
council
discussion.
There
is
no
action
here.
This
is
just
for
informational
purposes.
Only
as
an
update
on
the
budget,
that's
correct,
Steve!
That's.
O
O
Okay,
the
first
thing
I
want
to
do
I
like
to
talk
about
the
calendar
again
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
time
is
marching
on
there
today,
I'd
like
to
consider
the
possibility
of
of
doing
a
potential
council
work
session.
We
talked
about
March
10th,
but
we
did
a
doodle
poll
on
that
and
Scott.
Can
you
pass
that
out?
I'm
not
going
to
ask
you
for
comment
on
that
now,
but
by
the
time
we
get
the
end
of
my
presentation
here
in
about
10
minutes.
O
We
can
take
a
look
at
it
if
the
council
would
like
to
have
a
Saturday
work
session,
we've
done
a
doodle
poll
and
you
see
the
numbers
there,
and
we
of
course
stand
that
at
your
service
to
do
that
on
whatever
day
you
might
want
to
do.
I
just
put
that
out
so
that
we
can.
We
can
talk
about
it
if
you'd
hold
that
then
in
reserve,
until
we
get
done
and
you
can
decide
where
you
would
like
to
go
with
that.
O
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I'd
like
to
go
to
the
next
thing,
which
is
the
proposed
budget,
highlights
two
things
we
have
here.
Is
we
have
a
balanced
budget
by
doing
a
combination
of
the
council
targeted
items?
Those
were
the
items
that
you
suggested
we
look
at
when
we
had
our
November
4th
retreat
and
I'll
go
through
that
in
detail.
We
were
not
able
to
get
the
entire
amount,
and
so
we
went
back
to
the
individual
departments
and
we
got
some
additional
cuts,
which
I
will
talk
about
that
as
well.
O
We
also
have
nearly
26
million
dollars
in
capital
improvements
which
are
incorporated
into
that
and
much
of
what
the
way
we
did.
That
was
by
going
back
and
making
sure
we
cut
enough
out
of
the
departments
to
ensure
we
had
enough
for
capital
improvements
and
when
I
say
we
went
back
and
cut
out
things
from
the
department's
to
a
large
degree.
O
Each
department
comes
back
each
year
with
requests
for
increased
funding,
and
so
when
we
go
back
and
cut
it
out,
what
we've
done
is
we
have
really
as
much
not
approved
the
increase
as
much
as
we've
cut
it
out,
and
much
of
that
is
what
allows
us
to
do.
The
the
capital
improvement
that
are
in
the
budget
and
I
would
like
to
call
these
the
operating
capital,
because
they're
those
things
that
we
will
continue
to
do
as
part
of
the
operational
budget
and
I
want
to
differentiate
that
from
the
five-year
capital
improvement.
O
Those
are
those
big
projects
that
we
talked
about
and
we'll
come
back
to
you,
based
on
your
guidance
last
week
in
you
know
in
a
month
or
two,
and
we
can
talk
about
the
capital
improvement
plan.
These
capital
items
are
the
ones
that
are
incorporated
into
the
department's
operating
budgets
and
then
the
bottom
line
there,
of
course,
is
a
general
fund
balance
that
remains
a
production
15%
which
will
be
15.8.
O
Okay.
The
next
item
here
was
the
famous
2.9
percent
and
the
2.9
percent.
We
were
able
to
close
that
gap
here,
and
so,
if
you
go
down
to
the
second
chart,
there
you'll
see
how
we
did
that
those
council
targeted
items,
are
cost
recovery,
and
that
has
a
lot
to
do
with
recovering
the
the
fees
for
our
service
that
we
provide.
We
have
some
business
registration
in
there
and
that
will
come
back
with
some
details
on
it.
O
We
have
some
parking
that
we
can
adjust
and
there,
of
course,
is
1.1
million
in
solid
waste,
and
then
we
have
vacancy
savings
and
I'm
going
to
go
through
that
again.
In
a
little
more
detail,
and
then
those
departmental
operating
costs
that
I
talked
about
to
seven
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
that
made
up
the
difference
to
the
2.9
million
dollars.
O
Okay,
now
here's
the
way
that
that
looks
and
you've
seen
this
chart
before
one
of
the
reasons
we
came
back
and
talked
about
solid
waste
today
is
I
have
gotten
from
the
council
that
you
did
not
want
to
put
in
the
1.1
million
in
solid
waste
until
you
saw
what
it
looked
like
tonight,
we
saw
what
it
looked
like
and
now
we've
got
it
in
there.
Those
three
items
up
above
there,
though,
are
flexible,
in
other
words,
cost
recovery
fees.
O
Two
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
will
bring
that
back
to
you
an
ordinance
here
in
a
in
a
month
or
so
that
shows
what
that
is
well,
there's
I,
think
and
Bob
can
can
I
think
there's
eight
hundred
fees
in
there
and
there's
more
if
we
can
conclude
the
the
police
department,
the
fire
department.
So,
for
example,
we
take
we
charge
$25
for
fingerprinting,
okay,
maybe
we're
going
to
charge
30,
or
maybe
we
lower
it
to
fifteen.
O
It's
important
for
public
safety,
and
so
it
is
not
just
simply
a
money
grab,
but
what
happens?
It
allows
us
to
do
a
number
of
things
and
recover
much
of
the
business
that
we
do
already
that
cost
us
money
now.
What
will
happen
is
we'll
come
back
to
that
again.
Maybe
that's
a
hundred
dollars
for
two
thousand
businesses.
Maybe
we
do
it
every
year.
O
Maybe
we
don't
do
it
every
year,
but
what
happens
we'll
come
back
to
you
as
you
directed
last
week,
with
an
ordinance
in
that,
and
that
number
of
course
fluctuates
as
well
parking.
We
came
back
with
400,000
dollars.
The
first
time
when
we
implement
our
new
automated
parking,
if
we
charge
parking
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
we
get
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
out
of
it.
Well,
there
was
some
reluctance
to
do
that.
O
We
cut
it
back
to
two
hundred
thousand
because
we
maybe
would
have
free
times
in
times
we
want
to
promote
the
downtown
businesses
and
then,
when
we
went
back,
we
did
a
careful
scrub
on
I
think
we
came
out
with
a
hundred
and
forty
thousand.
We
came
back
to
a
hundred
thousand,
but
but
that's
variable
because
it's
kind
of
about
that,
but
you
will
have
an
opportunity
to
later
on
to
tell
us
how
much.
How
often
do
we
want
to
charge?
How
much
do
we
want
to
charge?
O
And
we
can
do
that
because
we've
got
an
automated
system.
So
we
put
that
number
in
it's
about
right
when
we
come
down
to
vacancy
savings,
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Well
we're
going
to
look
at
every
position
that
we
have
to
come
in
and
some
of
these
positions.
We
may
not
need
to
fill
some
of
them.
We
will
need
to
fill,
but
that
amounts
to
only
about
30
percent
of
the
vacancies
will
fill
2/3
of
the
vacancy,
but
the
HR
department
and
I
will
look
at
that.
I
get
it
just
by
the
way.
O
O
O
Well,
I've,
given
you
a
breakdown
there,
which
shows
you
what
that
is,
and
by
the
way,
if
you'd,
like
a
further
breakdown
that
on
that
it's
in
your
packet,
but
for
for
brevity
here,
I
just
want
to
show
you
those,
because
some
of
those
are
in
there
and
you're
going
to
look
at
some
of
those
and
say
how
are
we
going
to
cut
some
of
those
things
out?
In
fact,.
O
So
I'll
just
show
you
and
you
can
ask
me
these
questions
you'd
like
when
you
take
a
look
at
that
and
say
two
hundred
and
eighty-five
thousand
dollars
in
fire.
How
are
we
going
to
cut
that
out
of
overtime
and
professional
development?
Well,
there's
an
answer
to
each
one
of
these
questions:
I'm
going
to
ask
a
cheap
assistant
chief
bond
to
ask
that
question
I'm
going
to
ask
him
the
question
that
you're
gonna
ask
him:
go
ahead.
V
You
were
gracious
enough
in
the
last
budget
to
provide
us
with
funds
to
hire
six
additional
firefighters.
That
is
a
program
that
we
are
currently
working
on
with
when
we
become
full
staff
and
we're
still
working
towards
that
in
establishing
tests
and
so
on,
and
so
forth.
That
will
be
will
allow
us
to
bring
that
overtime
down
now
as
far
as
professional
development,
what
we're
looking
at
is
really
reducing
a
lot
of
the
training
that
we've
been
going
out
to
do
we're
going
to
bring
that
in
and
make
it
homegrown.
V
We've
got
a
lot
of
talent
within
the
department
that
we're
going
to
be
using
a
lot
more
of
our
hope
with
that
is,
as
we
hire
these
individuals
we're
really
going
to
take
a
strong
look
at
the
training
that
they've
already
been
coming
in
with
and
if
we
don't
have
to
send
them
to
a
fire
academy,
and
we
can
do
that
in-house
to
get
that
same
certification
levels.
We're
going
to
attempt
to
do
that,
the
best
we
can
so
we're
really
looking
at
some
creative
ways
as
far
as
special
development.
O
I
also
want
to
make
a
note
that
is
important
and
that
is
2.9
million
dollars
doesn't
seem
like
a
big
deficit.
If
we're
talking
about
a
two
hundred
million
dollar
budget.
Why
are
we
struggling
with
that?
Well,
it's
interesting,
because
if
you
go
back
and
you
look
at
two
hundred
million
dollar
budget,
if
you
look
at
a
hundred
million
dollars
in
the
general
fund,
how
much
of
that
do
we
really
have
any
control
over?
Not
much?
O
In
fact,
it's
about
five
percent-
maybe
seven
percent-
it's
hard
to
believe
that
that
much
money
is
committed
and
we
don't
have
much
say
on
it,
but
we
don't
and
it's
because
much
of
it
is
committed.
We
don't
have
any
strength
over
it.
I
remember
when
I
was
my
first
job
in
city
government
was
an
assistant
to
the
city
manager
like
melissa,
has
and
I
asked
the
same
question
I
couldn't
believe
it
I
said
we
can
get
more
money
than
that.
O
Surely
the
old-time
city
manager
said
no,
you
can't
5%,
so
he
gave
me
a
little
job
and
for
two
weeks
I
went
out.
I
went
through
line
by
line
in
every
departments
budget,
and
you
know
what
I
came
up
with
5%.
That's
about
all
you
have
control
of
and
I'll
give
you
an
example
of
this.
We
can
go
through
many
of
it,
but,
for
example,
we
have
9.2
million
dollars
in
state
motor
fuel
tax.
Well
great!
Well,
how
about
using
some
of
that?
O
Well,
you
can
only
use
a
state
motor
fuel
tax
on
state
road
and
bridge
improvements.
Well
like
what
well
like
Fox
Creek
Road,
for
example.
Well,
even
if
you
wanted
to
go
out
and
change
that
which
we
don't
want
to,
there
are
7.2
million
dollars
that
we
have
no
control
over,
because
it's
committed
to
those
state
funds,
and
we
can
only
use
the
state
funds
on
that.
So
we
go
back
through
through
a
a
budget
of
a
hundred
million
dollars.
O
You've
only
got
maybe
seven
million
Scott
came
out
with
7
million
I
looked
at
5
million,
but
that's
about
how
much
we
have
with
funds
that
we
have
some
discretion
over.
So
when
you
look
at
2.9
million
3
million
dollars,
that's
about
half
of
all
of
our
discretionary
funds,
and
so
going
back
and
looking
at
that
and
taking
these
things
out,
we've
taken
a
great
deal
out
of
the
funds
that
we
have
discretion
and
the
vast
majority
of
the
budget
is
really
committed
to
those
things
like
Fox
Creek
Road.
O
A
O
And
what
I'm
showing
you?
This
is
because
this
is
what
we're
going
to
build
into
the
budget
when
the
finance
department
goes
out
now
and
prints
the
books,
and
so
we
would
want
any
comments
that
you
may
have
and
then
we've
come
back
in
the
adopted
budget,
we'll
make
the
necessary
adjustments
to
it,
but
I'm,
just
showing
you
now
how
we
propose
how
we
came
up
with
a
balanced
budget.
O
I
grabbed
it
sounded
like
a
conclusion:
I
appreciate
it,
but
I
had
two
more
slides,
oh
sure,
sighs.
Okay,
sorry,
you
got
two
more
slides,
okay,
great-
and
this
is
one
you've
seen
in
the
newspaper-
and
that
is
that
and
I
do
need
to
make
an
explanation
on
this.
Because
what
happens?
Is
you
see
that
in
FY
2018
last
year
we
had
214
million
dollar
budget,
and
this
year
we
only
have
a
207
total
budget,
so
we
have
an
increase
with
six
million
dollars.
O
I've
been
asked:
where
did
that
six
million
dollars
go
because
what
we've
said
is
we
had
a
status
quo
budget?
The
amount
of
money
were
taking
in
in
the
amount
of
money
we're
spending
out
was
the
same
this
year
as
it
was
last
year
and
I
wanted
to
explain
some
of
that,
because
it's
accounting,
its
municipal
accounting
and
again
I'll,
give
you
one
example
of
that
and
we
could
go
through
all
of
the
six
million
dollars.
O
But
if
you
look
down
under
the
line,
you'll
see
there
from
2018
to
2019
you'll,
see
the
number
that
says:
2.2
million
dollars,
use
of
employee
health,
insurance
for
capital,
one-time
use
of
fund
balance
and
I
wanted
to
explain
to
you
how
that
accounting
works.
So
when
we
say
we
have
the
same
budget
as
we
did
last
year,
you'll
understand
it
well
what
we
did
was.
Last
year
we
took
2.2
million
dollars
out
of
the
health
insurance
fund
because
we
had
it
there.
O
That
was
a
little
bit
excess
of
what
we
needed
to
keep
in
that
fund
and
we
wanted
to
use
it
for
some
capital
projects.
So
what
happens?
We
essentially
took
it
out
of
one
pocket
and
put
it
in
another,
but
the
way
municipal
counting
goes
is
when
you
take
that
money
out,
it
has
to
count
as
a
revenue
and
then
when
we
go
back
and
spend
it,
it
has
to
count
as
expenditure.
So
it
looks
like
it's
2.2
million
dollars
more
than
we
did.
The
real
amount
was.
O
It
was
zero
sum
gain
and
you'll
see
each
of
those
and
in
Scott
and
Patty
could
go
through
and
explain
all
of
the
6.2
million
dollars,
but
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
an
example
of
that,
so
that
when
we
say
that
we
have
the
same
budget
this
year,
what
did
last
year
we
get.
We
took
in
about
the
same
number
of
real
dollars
in
taxes
and
fees
that
we
had
last
year
and
we
put
the
same
amount
out
in
expenditures
as
last
year.
O
It
just
looks
like
it's
six
million
dollars
less,
but
it
isn't
it's
the
same
as
last
year
and
that's
just
accounting,
and
we
can
explain
that
to
you.
If,
if
you
need
to
take
a
look
at
it
so
now,
having
said
that,
I've
gotten
through
all
of
the
slides
that
I
wanted
to
and
I
talked
to
you
about
those
items
and
I
would
now
encourage
you
to
look
back
in
the
additional
items
we
had.
A
O
A
O
The
only
one
I
wanted
to
have
I
said
I
had
two
more
because
I
wanted
to
show
you
the
slide
on
the
total
capital
funds.
I
I
said
I
had
a
total
of
about
twenty
six
million
dollars
that
we're
doing
the
funded
capital
projects
in
the
capital
budget.
That
is
not
the
budget,
that
is
the
five-year
capital
improvement
plan.
O
This
is
just
the
what
I
would
call
the
general
operational
capital
projects
and
that's
where
those
twenty
six
million
dollars
and
includes
a
number
of
those
that
we've
talked
about
like
if
you
look
up
at
one
of
your
favorites,
the
third
one
down
is
state
motor
fuel
tax.
Nine
point
two
million
dollars
in
which
is
a
trees,
bridge
yeah.
Z
Maybe
more
a
couple
comments
and
Steve
you
alluded
to
this
and
but
again
I
think
this
is
something
that
you
say
more
than
once
in,
and
that
is
when
you
were
talking
about
some
of
the
restrictions
that
are
placed
on
motor
fuel
tax.
It's
it's
almost
a
derivative
of
a
larger
issue,
and
this
is
one
thing
that
I
appreciate.
Melissa
has
done
exceedingly
well
with
our
priority
based
budgeting
and
it
is
identifying
how
much
of
our
expenses
are
related
to
mandates,
state
mandates
and
federal
mandates.
Where
we're
you
know,
I
oftentimes
will
hear
from
folks.
Z
You
know
say
well,
well
you
just
don't!
Do
that!
That's
silly!
We
ought
not
do
that.
You
know,
and
it's
in
its
you
know
with
some
fluff
industry,
like
the
you
know
or
Department
like
the
EPA
or
something
where,
where
they
say
well,
we're
just
not
going
to
do
that
and
we've
seen
examples.
You
know
here
in
central
Illinois
where
it
doesn't
work
out.
Z
Well,
if
you
don't
don't
abide
by
EPA
decisions,
so
so
thanks
for
kind
of
reinforcing
that
again
and
and
there's
an
educational
opportunity
there,
when
you
say
we
don't
we
don't
have
discretion
over
large
amounts
of
money,
because
a
lot
of
these
are
mandated
programs.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
do
was
just
give
a
shout
out
to
the
fire
department
because,
as
I
was
sitting
here
when,
when
the
chief
was
talking
about
we're
going
to
do
some
of
this
training
in-house
and
stuff
I
was
reminded
to
that.
Z
A
couple
of
years
ago,
we
spent
money
on
some
technology
upgrades
that
allowed
training
to
be
done
in
the
fire
houses
fire
stations.
Instead
of
sending
you
know,
firefighters
out
to
to
you,
know
some
remote
locations
for
training
and
and
so
again
that's
just
a
trend.
I
was
reminded
that
the
fire
department
is
like
so
many
of
our
departments.
They
they
do,
look
for
some
ways
to
reduce
their
cost
and
as
developing
the
in-house
training
just
builds
on
the
technology
changes
that
were
implemented
a
couple
of
years
ago.
So
thank
you
and.
O
In
in
light
of
that,
when
we
come
back
here
in
in
a
month
or
so,
and
we
talk
about
the
capital
improvement
program,
we're
going
to
go
through
all
of
those
they're,
the
things
that
we
call
our
donations
they're
the
things
that
we
call
our
consultant
fees
and
we'll
look
at
all
of
those
for
potential
cuts
in
order
to
fund
some
of
the
capital
improvement
programs.
And
that's
one
that
we're
coming
back
to
you
and
I
owe
you
all.
Y
You
Thank
You,
Steven
and
I
really
enjoyed
this
process
of
walking
us
through,
and
these
touch
points
many
many
times
and
giving
us
an
opportunity
to
provide
feedback
and
also
have
the
public
way
and
on
some
of
these
things,
I
feel
as
though,
because
we're
so
engaged
in
this
process.
Growth
income
come
out
with
a
better
budget
at
the
end
of
this
process
and
I
hope
we
can
use
this
as
a
model
for
future
budget
cycles.
Y
Just
a
couple
of
things
that
kind
of
come
to
mind
here,
I
forget
what
it
is,
but
we
usually
have
our
state
legislature
session
with
the
City
Council.
It's
always
you
know.
We
say
hello,
it's
very
nice,
but
perhaps
staff
could
outline
some
of
these
mandated
state
laws
that
we
can
ask
for
support
to
either
rescind
or
have
the
state
take
a
look
at
I.
Y
Think
people
are
really
surprised
when
they
find
out
some
the
things
that
we
have
to
do
by
state
law,
and
then
it
always
helps
when,
when
people
come
to
us
with
things
that
they
are
very
specific
in
targeting
them,
we
can
do
some
of
the
legwork
for
our
state
legislators
to
really
hone
in
on
things
that
will
save
us
money
in
the
long
term.
In
addition,
I
know
that
the
biggest
business
registration
fees
is
up
there.
You
know
I've
had
some
concerns
about
that
in
the
past.
Y
I'd
love
to
get
some
when
we
finally
vote
on
that
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
potentially
to
weigh
in
on
that,
maybe
in
the
form
of
a
letter
or
some
feedback
from
Charlie
or
somebody
I,
just
want
to
hear
what
the
feedback
would
be
before
moving
forward
and
then
as
I'm.
Looking
at
this
budget
as
a
whole,
I
am
reminded
of
Bill
Rao's
comments
about
multi-year
budgeting
and
and
how
we
kind
of
position
ourselves
and
a
couple
of
years
back.
Y
O
Glad
you
asked
that
question.
We
had
a
meeting
just
today
where
we
talked
about
the
energy
issues
and
the
long
term
contracts,
and
there
are
some
things
that
we
have
to
do
on
a
yearly
basis,
because
we
only
have
a
one-year
budget.
So
what
we
do
is
if
we
have
contracts
that
last
farther
than
that.
It
has
a
note
in
that
that
says,
but
it's
subject
to
an
annual
appropriation
by
the
City
Council,
so
we
do
have
to
move
forward.
That
way.
Certainly.
Y
Because
I
think
at
this
point
in
time,
no
stone
unturned
should
be
kind
of
our
motto
and
anything
that
we
can
do
to
maybe
save
money
in
the
long
term.
With
these
multi-year
contracts,
if
that's
even
a
possibility,
we
should
definitely
consider
exploring
I
remember
we
took
a
walk
with
Jim
through
the
Public
Works
building
and
we
talked
about
some
of
the
spray
hoses
on
the
bottom
of
the
trucks
to
get
the
salt
off.
That
increases
the
the
longevity
of
that
equipment.
O
O
One
of
the
things
we
need
to
do
is
we
will
manage
the
council
targeted
items
and
aggressively,
because
we
need
to
get
that
two
point,
one
to
five
million
dollars
as
well
as
the
775
that
I've
talked
about
the
third
item
down.
We
are
concerned
about
what
may
happen
in
the
state
of
Illinois.
You
know
there
have
been
threats
for
a
hold
back
on
tax
distribution
and
also
there
may
be
a
freeze
on
some
funds,
and
so
that
may
affect
us
as
we
go
forward
and
we
were
watching
that
very
carefully
the
other
item.
O
If
the
next
item
down
says,
we
must
continue
to
work
on
reviewing
controllable
revenue
sources.
Two
growing
expenses
and
council
has
alluded
to
that
a
number
of
times
down.
Here
we
have
to
control
our
revenue
because
there
are
expenses
that
are
going
to
go
up
as
sure
as
the
Sun
comes
up
tomorrow,
they're
going
to
be
raises
in
cost
that
we're
going
to
have
to
cover,
and
so
we're
going
to
watch
our
revenue
sources
that
we
can
control
against
those
expenses.
O
As
we
can,
we
also
put
up
that
operational
cuts
won't
work
in
the
long
term
term.
We've
done
some
of
that,
but
we
can't
keep
doing
that
over
and
over
and
over
again,
we
do
have
one
of
the
goals
that
the
council's
give
us
and
as
a
sustainable
budget,
and
so
we
will
continue
to
work
that
the
last
item,
though,
is
the
good
news.
Is
we
have
a
great
staff,
great
council,
great
community,
and
we're
going
to
move
forward
and
be
successful
in
all
of
these
things?
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
A
A
Okay,
all
right.
Moving
on
to
the
letter
D,
we
have
a
twenty-year
materials,
recovery
and
resource
management
plan
from
McLean
County
Bloomington
and
normal
Illinois,
as
requested
by
the
public
works
department.
We
have
a
presentation,
brief
presentation
and
a
very
brief
counsel
discussion
good
evening.
Michael.
AC
Members
of
council
I
know
it's
late.
My
presentation
should
be
very
short,
and
this
all
should
be
very
familiar.
We
talked
about
this
back
in
October,
so
just
try
and
hit
some
of
the
highlights
here.
So,
of
course,
the
ecology
Action
Center.
We
are
a
service
provider
for
the
city
of
the
town,
the
county,
acting
as
a
environmental
agency
nonprofit
agency,
providing
resources
such
as
salaries
planning
among
other
services,
Jim
kind
of
stole.
AC
My
thunder
earlier
with
the
recycle
coach
app
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
here
check
it
out
at
recycle,
recycle,
be
an
org
if
you
don't
already
use
it
so
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
solid
waste
plan
which
has
been
in
the
works
for
about
two
years
now
we
have
a
good
amount
of
data.
That's
been
collected
assembled
over
this
past
two
years.
That's
led
us
to
this
proposal
and
one
of
the
major
sources,
data
and
most
important
variables
here
is
in
the
clean
county
landfill,
which
is
reaching
capacity.
AC
You
can
see
here
on
our
chart
that
capacity
dropping
down
very
closer
as
we
get
into
2018.
The
most
recent
estimates
look
at
August
of
this
year
that
the
McClain
County
landfill
will
reach
capacity,
and
so
that
is
one
of
our
our
big
pieces.
Information,
of
course
as
well.
Recycling
has
been
improving
increasing
for
four
decades,
but
while
we
have
in
the
past
year
so
finally
reached
our
community
wide
recycling
goal
of
40
percent,
things
have
been
stagnated.
AC
If
we
look
at
the
the
past
10
years
or
so,
really,
we've
only
been
hovering
and
that's
upper
30
cent
percent
range
and
so
really
to
go
further.
We
need
to
do
more
and
that's
what
this
proposal
does.
We
can
as
well
look
at
the
actual
composition
of
our
waste
as
it
goes
as
it
is
being
way
instilled
a
lot
of
this
being
recoverable
material
that
we
are
literally
right
now,
bearing
it
into
a
hole
in
the
ground.
AC
The
more
detailed
analysis
of
those
materials,
including
those
waste
streams,
including
some
very
specific
numbers,
on
how
much
recoverable
material
that
could
Prada
provide
some
economic
benefits
that
we
are
again
varying
in
the
ground.
So,
within
this
new
waste
plan,
we
have
six
new
priorities
to
try
and
identify
these
gaps.
AC
Essentially,
that
are
leaving
so
much
recoverable
material
not
recovered
and,
at
the
same
time,
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
bring
that
to
economic
benefit,
instead,
commercial
recycling
being
a
big
one:
construction,
demolition,
recycling
apartment
recycling,
food
waste
composting,
otherwise
known
as
organics
recycling,
a
permanent
household
hazardous
waste
collection
facility
to
build
upon
the
great
success
that
we've
had
as
a
community
in
hazardous
waste
collection
and
then,
of
course,
to
support
this.
All.
It
really
is
going
to
take
more
work,
more
outreach,
more
efforts
to
make
it
all
happen.
AC
So
we
have
gone
through
a
public
hearing
process.
Public
comment
period,
which
is
actually
mandated
by
the
state
of
Illinois
for
solid
waste
plans.
Very
overwhelming
response.
In
terms
of
the
volume
of
responses
we
received
48
written
public
comments,
47
of
those
in
favor
of
the
plan
is
written.
One
was
in
opposition.
Eight
verbal
couple
comments
at
the
public
hearing,
all
in
favor
of
the
plan.
A
petition
was
submitted
with
2333
signatures
in
favor
the
plan.
So
overall
we
have
two
thousand
three
hundred.
AC
Eighty
nine
public
comments
submitted
99.9%
of
those
in
favor
of
the
solid
waste
plan.
So,
to
address
one
possible
concern
or
question
that
may
come
as
it
has
come
up
elsewhere.
The
inclusion
of
Ordinances
as
a
possibility
within
this
plan
keep
in
mind
this
plan
is
a
vision.
It
is
a
road
map
displaying
ease,
not
binding
on
the
city
of
the
town
or
the
county.
AC
So
big
picture
we're
talking
about
these
points.
The
landfill
is
closing.
This
solid
waste
plan
is
a
proposal
for
the
next
20
years
to
help
us
transition
to
essentially
be
a
post
landfill
community.
This
been
developed
through
a
collaborative
stakeholder
process
looking
at
the
needs
for
the
future,
bring
together.
AC
Z
Them
things
thank
you
and
thanks.
Mr.
Brown's
talk
with
me
because
one
thing
I
consistently
here
and
you've
alluded
to
it,
but
I
guess
I'd
I
would
encourage
you
to
speak
a
little
more
specifically
about
kind
of
the
the
I.
Don't
know
if
I'd
call
it
a
conflict,
but
certainly
a
conundrum
between
the
mandates
and
voluntary
participation
and
a
concern
that
that
I
know
has
been
expressed
to
me
and
not
suggesting
it's
prevalent
majority
I'm,
just
saying
as
a
concern.
How?
AC
You
know:
pilot
programs
volunteer
efforts,
increasing
kind
of
technical
assistance,
the
hands-on
you
know
trying
to
work
with
the
rental
companies
in
order
to
help
increase
that
route
densification
and
the
biomaterials-
and
maybe
you
know,
working
with
them
to
help
provide
services
and
that's
that
middle
ground
between
them
and
the
waste
haulers.
So
we
can
help
deliver
services
to
them
in
a
cost-effective
way,
hopefully
without
any
mandates,
and
so
all
that
is
outlined
in
here
that,
yes,
that
is
the
preference
and
in
most
cases
here,
and
so.
AC
On
the
other
hand,
you
know
the
bigger
picture.
What
we're
talking
about
is
economics.
Roi
I
mean,
as
we
have
to
send
our
waste
further
and
further
away,
and
so
the
the
burden
of
that
over
the
next
20
years
unknown.
You
know
costs,
and
so
this
is
about
asserting
a
certain
cost
controls
into
that
process.
We
don't
have
as
money
so
the
burden
of
those
potential
costs
that
are
unknown
versus
the
burden
of
some
regulation,
and
so
that's
really
what
it
came
comes
down
to.
Z
So
I'm
not
trying
to
paint
you
into
a
corner,
but
I
do
but
I
want
to
have
a
kind
of
a
credible
understanding
here,
and
so
would
it
be
fair
to
say
that
that
that
we
are
some
number
of
years
away
before
before
there
would
be
consideration
given
to
mandates.
We
have
a
lot
of
other
options
that
we're
going
to
to
explore
we're
going
to
look
at
we're
going
to
try
we're
going
to
experiment
with
be
before
the
the
hand
of
government
comes
down
on
solid
waste
right.
That.
Z
AA
Thank
you,
my
my.
My
question
relates
to
energy
production.
I
know
we
do
produce
quite
a
bit
of
trash
and
I.
You
know,
I've
had
conversations
with
other
folks,
I
think
we're
here
in
the
audience.
Dr.
Rao
is
one
of
them.
You
know
and
talking
about
the
economics
of
energy
production.
So
can
you
I
know
it
hasn't
happened
here
yet
and
and
I
don't
know
how
far
away
we
are
from
that?
Is
it
feasible?
AC
AC
You
know
plasma,
electrolysis,
anaerobic
digestion
and
there's
this
there's
all
sorts
of
pros
and
cons
all
along
the
way.
There's
all
sorts
of
you
know
costs
or
benefits,
and
so
what
this
plan
does?
It
doesn't
really
suggest
anything
specifically,
except
for
it
does
based
on
the
traditional,
solid
waste
management
hierarchy.
AC
F
A
Is
there
a
second
to
that
motion?
Second,
second,
by
all
of
women
helman
any
further
discussion
for
voting,
okay,
obviously
and
I,
is
in
favor
of
this
20
year
plan
alderman
Massey.
Did
you
have
any
questions
or
comments?
No,
are
you?
How
do
you
vote
on
this
affirmative?
Okay,
the
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
needs
to
announce,
madam
clerk.
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay
and
we
move
on
to
item
D,
which
is
discussion
on
an
action.
A
AD
You,
mayor
and
council
and
I'll
try
to
be
even
briefer.
This
is
a
continuation
of
our
discussion
from
last
week.
This
is
an
ordinance
that
implements
licensing
regulations
on
video
gaming
within
the
city
of
Bloomington.
That's
something
new!
We
haven't
done
that
before
these
regulations
mirror
the
town
of
normal.
However,
they
do
not
include
a
licensing
fee
based
on
the
feedback
that
we
received
at
the
last
council
meeting.
AD
So
there's
no
licensing
fee,
the
penalties
for
violating
the
licensing
are
a
little
tougher
than
what
the
town
of
normal
provides,
but
we
felt
that
that
was
necessary.
Otherwise
it
is
pretty
close
to
mirroring
this
regulations
also
provide
that
there
will
be
a
one-year
moratorium,
the
issuing
of
new
video
gaming
licenses.
AD
This
means
that,
during
this
one-year
period,
city
staff
will
be
able
to
evaluate
and
come
back
to,
the
council
with
recommendations
on
whether
or
not
there
should
be
a
ultimate
cap
on
the
number
of
video
gaming
machines
within
the
city,
as
well
as
whether
additional
regulations
are
necessary
and
whether
there's
any
type
of
fee
that
should
be
considered
by
the
City
Council.
So
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
this
one.
A
One
quick
question:
let's
say
that
this
did
you
know
if
the
council
was
divided,
but
it
didn't
quite
pass.
I
patek
I
have
absolutely
no
idea,
but
it
can.
The
Liquor
Commission
recommend
a
license
with
the
stipulation
that
they
cannot
have
video
gaming,
or
is
that
not
possible
once
you've
opened
the
door
you're
stuck.
AD
Once
you
once
you've
opened
the
door,
so
it's
our
opinion
that
we
need
to
have
a
structure
in
place
within
the
city,
some
sort
of
licensing
structure
if
we
then
want
to
implement
any
provisions
on
regulating
those
licenses.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
communities
within
the
state
that
have
implemented
these
moratoriums,
while
they've
they've
had
they've
seen
kind
of
an
explosion
of
terminals
within
their
communities
and
they'll
put
a
stop
on
that,
so
that
they
can
take
a
step
back
and
take
a
look
and
see
what
types
of
regulations
are
right
for
their
community.
AD
G
I'm
going
to
be
in
favor
of
this,
because,
even
though
last
year
we
got
about
750,000
dollars
from
these
gaming
terminals,
the
net
wagering
activity,
the
money
that
was
drawn
out
of
our
local
economy,
was
almost
16
million
dollars.
So
I
don't
really
see
an
up
to
these
terminals
at
all,
so
I'm
going
to
be
voting
in
favor
of
this.
Thank.
A
S
A
G
U
You
so
in
general,
I
think
more
regulation
is
good.
I
think
we
all
have
should
be
concerned
about
the
proliferation
of
these.
These
devices
within
our
community
and
I
think
that's
a
wise
but
widespread
question
that
needs
to
be
asked,
but
I'm
curious,
if
perhaps
whether
it's
you
Jeff
or
other
on
council
can
explain
to
me
why
a
moratorium
is
a
desirable
path
forward
right
now,
because
number
one,
it
seems
a
little
bit
abrupt
to
me
and
I.
U
You
know
I'm
sure
there
are
many
businesses
in
the
process
of
getting
up
and
running
and,
and
you
know
they
were
had
a
business
plan
in
place
that
they
were
trying
to
move
forward
with
and
suddenly
we
say.
Oh
now,
there's
a
moratorium
and
so
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
that
there
would
be
a
feeling
that
we
pulled
to
the
rug
out
underneath
for
people
there
and
I,
don't
have
anything
specific
in
mind,
but
I
just
contemplate
as
a
possibility.
Because
again
this
seems
a
little
abrupt
and
number
two
the
length.
U
A
AD
AD
Whenever
you
implement
the
moratorium,
you're
going
to
have
people
that
were
in
the
process
or
maybe
thinking
about
getting
in
the
process,
we
did
work
provisions
in
there
that
if
they
had
a
application
in
with
the
the
gaming
board
that
they
could
be
potentially
grandfathered
in
as
well
as,
along
with
everybody
else
that
already
has
existing
gaming
terminals
so
that
we
did
try
and
take
that
into
account
a
little
bit
the
rest
of
it
as
to
the
length
of
the
moratorium.
Again,
that's
purely
a
policy
decision.
AD
U
AD
A
AD
A
A
Oops,
excuse
me:
the
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
nays
to
announce,
madam
clerk,
so
we
have
a
moratorium
on
video
gaming.
Next
we
move
to
item
F
and
as
I
understand
it
though
mr.
mark
is,
is
there
a
you
have
a
brief
presentation,
but
there
is
a
an
issue
about
voting
are
on
the
plant
tonight.
A
E
The
plat
so
I've
been
asked
to
present
the
final
platform:
okay
subdivision
it's
located
at
the
corner
of
Hershey
Road
and
GE
Road,
and
its
1611
North
Hershey
Road.
What
you'll
see
is
the
afford
half
acre
tract
at
the
court
of
southeast
corner
of
the
intersection
across
the
street
is
the
country,
financial
building
and
the
daycare
to
the
south
and
residential
neighborhoods
to
the
north.
The
zoning
for
the
property
was
changed
in
October
of
last
year
from
c2
to
be
to
the
plat
is
in
general,
conformance
with
the
city
of
engineering
standards.
E
There
were
some
questions
raised
about
setback
issues
on
the
plat
and
I.
Think.
What
we
could
talk
about
this
evening
is
there
is
there
is
provisions
within
your
subdivision
ordinance
that
does
allow
the
City
Council
to
refer
this
back
to
the
Planning
Commission
for
interpretation,
and
that
would
be
a
recommendation
that
staff
would
agree
with
at
this
time.
Just
for
some
additional
information
on
the.
If
you
have
any
questions,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer.
Okay,.
Y
E
Some
questions
regarding
the
setbacks
that
were
placed
on
the
plat,
that
was
a
concern
by
they
were
raised
this
afternoon
by
an
alderman
and
that's
something
that
we
can
probably
look
at
and
there's
some
interpretation
issues.
If
you
look
at
the
way
the
plan
is
structured,
it
clearly
says
that
there
that
it's
not
completed
in
this
one
section
regarding
the
front
yard
setback
along
her,
she
wrote
I.
