Thank
you
very
much.
We
move
right
along
to
our
recognitions
and
first
we
start
with
a
recognition
of
achievement
to
Eric
Beale
assistant,
director
of
Parks
and
Recreation
and
cultural
arts
for
attaining
a
professional
designation
of
certified
Parks
and
Recreation
executive
Eric.
Where
are
you
come
on
down?
The
price
might
not
be
right,
but
come
on
down.
A
F
This
is
just
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
for
a
second
meeting
in
a
row
to
talk
about
our
staff
and
Erica.
Is
our
assistant
director
in
our
department
having
a
CPR
II,
now
he's
the
only
one
he's
the
only
of
three
downstate
that
has
that
designation.
So
it's
a
great
thing
that
he
has
completed
and
one
of
the
things
as
I'm
a
zoo
guy
who's
learning
how
to
be
a
parks.
Director
I
rely
on
his
expertise
to
help
me
move
the
department
forward
and
him
and
I
work
very
well
together
and
I.
F
G
A
A
Mister,
thank
you.
So
much
again,
this
is
the
proclamation
on
Arbor
Day
declaring
April
27
2008
een,
whereas
in
1872
J
sterling
Morton
proposed
to
the
Nebraska
Board
of
Agriculture
that
a
special
day
be
set
aside
for
planting
of
trees
and
whereas
this
holiday
called
Arbor
Day
was
first
observed
with
the
planting
of
more
than
a
million
trees
in
Nebraska
and
whereas
Arbor
Day
is
now
observed
throughout
the
nation
and
the
world,
and
whereas
trees
can
reduce
the
erosion
of
our
precious
topsoil
by
wind
and
water.
Cut
heating
and
cooling
costs.
A
Now,
therefore,
I
Terry
Renner,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bloomington,
do
by
here
proclaim
Friday
April
27
2018,
as
Arbor
Day
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
I,
urge
all
residents
to
celebrate
Arbor
Day
and
to
support
efforts
to
protect
our
trees
and
woodlands
and
further
I
urge
all
citizens
to
plant
trees,
to
gladden
the
heart
and
promote
the
well-being
of
this
and
future
generations.
Thank
you.
So
much
again,
congratulations
thank
you.
A
A
Well:
okay:
well,
let
me
go
ahead
and
read
this
comcast
cares
date:
April
21st,
1st
2018,
whereas
Comcast
remains
an
active,
committed
and
engaged
member
of
the
Bloomington
community,
as
demonstrated
by
10
years
of
Comcast
care
service
in
local
communities
and
well
over
6,000
total
hours
volunteered
and
whereas
Comcast
supports
the
core
American
value
of
volunteerism
through
partnerships,
grants
and
volunteer
activities
that
empower
individuals
at
organized
communities
and
whereas
Comcast
cares.
Day
is
a
celebration
of
service
and
commitment
to
year-round
volunteerism
and
has
become
one
of
the
nation's
largest
single-day
corporate
volunteer
efforts.
A
A
You
so
much
thanks
for
your
volunteerism
and
contribution
to
our
community.
Thank
you.
We
move
next
to
a
proclamation
declaring
May
6
2008
een
through
May
12th,
2018,
municipal
clerk's,
Week
and
cherry.
You
will
be
accepting
this
if
not
physically
virtually,
but
we
do
have
it
somewhere
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
read
the
this
Proclamation,
the
49.
A
So
next
year
we
won't
lose
it.
The
49th
annual
municipal
clerks
week
may
6th
through
May
12th,
whereas
the
office
of
the
municipal
clerk,
a
time-honored,
vital
part
of
local
government,
exists
throughout
the
world
and
is
the
oldest
among
public
servants
and
whereas
the
office
of
the
municipal
clerk
provides
the
professional
link
between
the
citizens,
the
local
governing
bodies
and
it
agencies
of
government
and
other
levels,
and
whereas
municipal
clerk's
have
pledged
to
be
ever
mindful
of
their
neutrality
and
impartiality,
rendering
equal
service
to
all
I
can
absolutely
attest
to
that.
A
The
first
full
week
of
May
recognized
the
essential
role
of
municipal
clerks
plans
in
local
government,
whereas
it
is
most
appropriate
that
we
recognize
the
accomplishments
of
the
office
of
municipal
clerks.
Now,
therefore,
I
Terry
Renner,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bloomington,
to
recognize
the
week
of
May
6
through
12
2018
as
municipal
crooks
week,
and
further
extend
appreciation
to
our
municipal
clerk
and
to
all
municipal
clerk's
for
the
vitality
of
the
services
they
perform
and
their
exemplary
dedication
to
the
communities
they
represent.
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you.
Cherry
for
all.
You
do.

Okay,
thank
you
all
for
your
willingness
to
serve.
A
I
I
So
I
have
a
short
presentation
that
will
review
with
you.
The
activities
of
the
Behavioral
Health
Coordinating
Council
for
the
last
year,
give
you
some
information
on
projects
that
are
underway
projects
that
we
anticipate
within
the
next
12
months.
I
always
like
to
use
this
slide
and
and
you'll
note
it
through
the
remainder
of
this
presentation.
It
talks
about
the
behavioral
health
action
plan
goals
and
you'll
notice
on
the
on
the
right
side
of
the
of
the
page.
I
Those
costs
are
beneficial
not
only
to
the
individuals
that
we
serve
and
I
must
note
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
populations
of
the
community,
but
our
benefit
to
everyone
because
of
the
savings
that
are
experienced
in
those
systems,
so
2017
18.
So
it's
a
you
know
it's
a
relatively
short
period
since
the
BH
CC
was
formed
in
mid
2016
and
a
few
things
got
underway
in
the
first
several
months
for
the
BH
CC
that
meets
quarterly
but
beginning
in
2017.
I
The
Department
of
Justice
mental
health,
criminal
justice
collaboration
grant
was
the
first
program
that
the
BH
CC
was
successful
in
in
obtaining
that
that
grant
application
went
in
in
the
summer
of
2016
and
funding
was
made
available
by
about
this
time
in
2017,
and
so
through
that
program
we
have
to
date.
Over
the
last
year,
in
2017,
more
than
a
hundred
public
safety
and
health
care
staff
have
been
trained
and
critical
incident
training.
I
I
This
begins
to
set
the
foundation
as
first
responders
are
in
the
field,
to
be
able
to
assess
individuals
who
may
have
behavioral
illness
and
to
be
able
to
determine
the
best
best
possible
strategy
to
get
them
assistance
and
and
many
times.
We
hope
that
that
won't
be
the
IDI
at
the
hospital.
It
won't
be
the
criminal
justice
system
and
that
we
have
alternatives
in
place
like
like
the
crisis
stabilization
center
at
chestnut
healthcare
that
can
provide
assistance
for
some
of
those
individuals.
I
We
also
were
successful
in
obtaining
an
assisted
outpatient
treatment,
training
program
for
a
team
that
included
individuals,
including
judge
Foley
from
the
circuit
court.
Individuals
from
advocate
BroMenn
and
chestnut
health
systems
that
that
went
for
assisted,
outpatient
treatment,
assisted
outpatient
treatment
is
the
civil
side
of
an
equation
for
attempting
to
get
people
assistance
in
treatment.
I
It
is
a
court-ordered
civil
system
that
assists
and
provides
for
treatment
of
individuals,
and
sometimes,
unfortunately,
individuals
are
are
resistant
to
treatment
and
in
a
in
a
behavioral
illness
condition,
and
with
that
many
times,
our
public
safety
personnel
find
that
the
only
alternative
they
have
today
is
to
utilize
the
criminal
justice
system
to
to
gain
treatment
for
those
individuals.
We
obviously
want
to
avoid
that
at
all
costs.
It's
not
we.
I
We
sometimes
refer
to
compassionate
incarceration,
and
you
know
I,
don't
think
it's
anything
that
anyone
wants
to
do,
but
until
we
have
systems
in
place
to
provide
otherwise
for
individuals
in
our
community
and
fortunately
it's
going
to
continue
to
be
an
alternative.
So
the
alt
program
would
be
a
new
program
introduced
into
the
community.
We
have.
I
I
There
there
are
two
things
as
we
talk
about
data
analysis,
data
sharing
that
are
our
parallel
goals
for
the
program
number
one.
Our
goal
is
to
be
able
to
share
data
so
that,
as
I
I,
previously
described
first
responders
in
the
field
can
make
the
best
decisions
possible
about
where
to
direct,
an
individual
and
so
to
do
that
in
the
most
effective
manner.
I
The
second
item
is
a
is
a
much
more
long-term
goal,
but
it's
a
goal
that
we're
committed
to
working
with
jurisdictions
from
across
the
country
on,
and
that
is
preventative
prevention
through
predictive
analytics,
and
this
is
going
to
require
a
tremendous
amount
of
data
analysis
and
data
acquisition.
But
ultimately,
it's
really
our
only
way
to
prevent
these
kinds
of
issues
to
identify
individuals
before
they
enter
a
state
where
they
become
a
super
utilizar
of
the
healthcare
system
or
the
criminal
justice
system.
I
So
predictive
analytics
are
extremely
important
to
our
long-term
goals
of
process
and
then,
finally,
we
have
continued
to
work
with
the
Illinois
State
University
Stevenson
Center
we've
been
working
with
them
for
about
seven
or
eight
years
now
under
a
contract,
and
they
have
begun
to
not
only
provide
criminal
justice
information
to
us
and
analysis
of
our
case
management
system
data.
But
we
have
also
introduced
work
on
the
behavioral
illness
side
as
part
of
their
work,
so
just
in
a
few
examples,
types
of
work
that
we're
doing
so.
I
I
So
this
was
an
assessment
of
whether
whether
the
reports
that
we
are
receiving
when
an
individual
is
books
are
consistent
with
what
we
ultimately
find
from
the
standpoint
of
other
metrics
that
we
use
to
evaluate
whether
a
person
has
a
mental
illness
has
a
mental
problem,
and
so
the
good
news
from
the
standpoint
is
that
the
caution
codes
have
been
very
consistent.
What
they
have
done.
I
What
they
show
us
is
that
that
caution
codes
as
as
a
part
of
the
system,
will
add
a
slight
multiplier
to
the
numbers,
and
that's
since
it
is
one
of
about
five
elements
that
is
included
in
this.
It's
exactly
what
we
would
expect
if
the
caution
codes
are
relatively
reflective
of
of
what
we're
seeing
from
the
other
other
metrics.
So
that's
a
that's
a
good
answer
and
that's
the
type
of
analysis
that
we're
beginning
to
do
bookings
and
mental
health
issues.
I
I
Now,
when
we
began
these
discussions
about
the
impact
of
mental
illness
on
the
community
in
the
criminal
justice
system,
I
asked
the
question:
are
we
just
better
today
at
identifying
mental
illness
than
we
were
ten
years
ago
15
years
ago
and
I
think
the
answer
is
yes,
we
are
better,
but
clearly
through
continuing
dialogue
with
practitioners
in
the
field,
those
public
safety
officers
officers,
those
individuals
working
in
the
jail
and
in
the
health
care
system.
There
is
a
significant
increase
in
the
number
of
individuals
that
they
are
seeing
with
behavioral
illness,
and
this.
I
This
portrays
that
this
is
the
percentage
of
individuals
and
number
of
bookings
for
individuals
with
mental
health,
health
issues
as
again
defined
by
about
five
or
six
different
metrics,
and
then
those
that
are
not
identified
with
mental
health
issues.
And
you
know
the
big.
The
big
impact
here
is
that,
as
you
can
see,
for
individuals
that
don't
have
mental
health
issues,
the
vast
vast
majority
of
those
individuals
are
booked
one
to
two
times
on
a
during
this
period.
I
This
is
a
this
is
a
density
hotspot,
map
of
bloomington-normal
and
mclean
county
done
in
the
lower
left
of
individuals,
and
these
are
in
persons
with
mental
health
problems
as
associated
to
the
criminal
justice
system.
So
this
is
not
reflective
of
all
people
with
mental
health,
mental
illness,
because
we
don't
yet
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
the
health
data
that
we
need
to
do
those
evaluations
we're
working
with
our
partners
in
the
health
field.
I
But
some
of
our
challenge
is
that
while
we
have
a
very
effective
spoken
hug
model
for
case
management
here
in
McLean
County,
we
have
all
the
RMS
data,
the
from
the
field
officers
we
have.
We
have
the
data
all
the
way
through
probation
from
from
soup
to
nuts
I
like
to
say
for
the
case
management
system
that
the
county
has
been
operating
for
for
decades.
Now,
the
healthcare
industry
does
not
have
a
spoken--
hub
model
for
health
information.
Each
one
of
them
maintains
a
separate
system.
I
There
are
many
times
different
systems,
and
so
the
challenges
is
for
us
to
be
able
to
evaluate
and
and
deal
with
these.
But
this
begins
to
give
you
an
idea
of
when
we
will.
We
look
at
localization
siting
of
facilities
and
activities
or
to
assist
jurisdictions
in
trying
to
assess
where
they
should
place
emphasis
for
assistance
and
of
enforcement.
Those
are
the
areas
that
we
would
look
to
and
again
the
same
for
this.
I
I
The
the
community
was
selected
for
as
one
of
four
jurisdictions,
along
with
Clark
County
Nevada
Salt
Lake
City
Utah
in
Columbia
Missouri,
to
participate
in
a
program
with
Corporation
for
supportive
housing
and
the
Lord
John
Arnold
foundation
for
data
sharing.
That
program
has
been
ongoing
for
about
a
year.
I
The
goal
again
is
data
sharing
and
in
combining
both
housing
and
criminal
justice
data.
We
we've
been
working
with
path.
Over
the
last
year,
they've
been
a
great
partner.
County
has
been
able
to
provide
some
assistance
relative
to
information
systems
and
hardware,
and
we've
worked
with
a
national
software
provider
that
provide
a
vast
majority
of
the
HMIS
data
for
local
entities
across
the
country.
I
On
setting
up
software
provisions
for
this
data
sharing,
so
I
think
there'll
be
a
benefit
to
the
two
communities
across
the
country
for
that
program,
and
we
provided
a
readiness
incubator
for
a
frequent
users
program
for
I
think
ten
nonprofits
here
in
the
community.
As
part
of
this
program,
the
tool
is
still
in
testing
the
data
sharing
tool,
and
so
I've
just
got
a
couple
of
screens.
I
You
know:
we've
we've
got
some
diagrams
here
that
start
to
show
the
population
and
you
can't
these
are
demonstrations,
so
they
don't
show
the
reality
to
the
community
right
now
we
have
not
been
able
to
download
data,
yet
we
believe
will
take
possession
of
the
tool
by
June,
and
so
those
are
examples
you
know
with
the
Venn
diagrams
I
suspect
we're
going
to
see.
We're
gonna
see
a
much
closer
relationship
to
those
the
two,
those
two
and
our
hope
is
to
bring
in
behavioral
health
in
the
near
future.
I
These
are
two
group
to
two
draft
documents
that
I've
provided
to
you,
but
they
show
our
work
with
Loyola
University's
criminal
justice,
research
policy
and
practice
Center,
and
we
are
sure
we
we
have
through
them
gained
access
to
state
data
that
will
provide
us
with
information
about
McLean
County
and,
as
you
can
see,
while
while
parole
has
is
actually
declining.
Individuals
on
patrol
in
McLean
County
is
declining.
I
Adults
in
prison
have
have
risen
slightly
and
adults
on
probation
have
risen
significantly
over
the
less
excuse
me,
seventeen
years,
I
think
a
large
part
of
that
is
our
our
attempt
to
try
and
make
sure
that
individuals
stay
out
of
jail
unless
they
are
a
threat
to
the
community
and
then
another
draft
document
talking
about
recidivism
and
individuals
who
come
back
from
do
see
and
looking
at
those
items.
Okay,
so
the
lawn
justice
center
expansion
project.
We
do.
We
do
anticipate
completion
of
the
addition.
I
There
will
be
a
most
of
the
renovation
of
the
Correctional
Facility
medical
facility,
the
the
the
the
pods,
the
new
pods,
the
treatment
areas
that
are
provided
on
site
adjacent
to
those
pods.
Those
will
all
be
available
to
us.
We
will
be
revamping
then
in
the
old
section,
I,
significantly
expanding
the
the
medical
treatment
facilities
as
part
of
the
program,
and
that
will
take
probably
another
nine
months
in
2019.
I
I
We
submitted
an
application
for
children's
mental
health
systems
to
the
care
initiative
to
the
Illinois
Children's
Health
Care
Foundation.
This
was
in
cooperation
with
our
youth
and
schools.
Work
group
for
the
VHD
see
this
is
a
seven
year
commitment.
We
will
not
hear
until
august
if
we
are
selected,
but
to
give
you
an
idea,
the
scale
of
the
program
the
program
will
require
us
to
to
hire
a
project
director.
I
And
I
skipped
one
here:
we
responded
to
an
Illinois
Department
of
Human
Services
division
of
mental
health
request
for
information.
They
made
a
request
to
six
counties
crossed
Illinois,
predominantly
the
collar
counties,
but
including
McLean
County
and
with
the
goal
their
stated
goal
of
providing
innovative
in
intervention
strategies
and
they've
expressed
a
willingness
to
work
with
those
in
those
with
two
to
three
counties
on
a
program
to
try
and
put
in
place
those
innovative
programs.
I
I
The
program
as
you
can
see
here,
the
program
draft
includes
a
buildup
beginning
with
ten
super
utilizers
in
nineteen
and
then
adding
ten
per
year
for
the
first
three
years
that
that
is.
That
is
the
program
that
we
have
drafted
and
built
out.
As
you
can
see,
the
combination
of
funding
results
in
about
a
million
dollars
a
year
being
expended
with
this
program
that
includes
housing
as
well
as
treatment,
services
and
case
management
services
for
the
individuals.
I
The
goal
of
the
program
would
be
to
scale
that
over
time
and
again,
starting
with
ten
in
the
first
year
and
building
that
program
to
ever
increase
capacity,
and
one
of
the
benefits
is
that
the
that
there
is
a
total
cost
avoidance
to
the
community.
Now,
as
you
can
see
from
this
graph,
a
vast
vast
majority
of
that
savings
is
in
the
healthcare
system
and
so
we're
working
through
that
the
healthcare
system
does
include
ambulance
and
EMS
response.
I
I
This
is
a
program
that
is
extremely
expansive
programming.
If
you
look
at
that
diagram,
everything
on
the
left-hand
side
is
what
an
AC
T
program
would
provide
for
individuals
and
I
can
say
that
it
is
a
a
relatively
high
cost
program.
The
staffing
and
loan
cost
seven
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
a
year
and
housing
medication.
A
K
L
L
I
Yes,
you
are
absolutely
correct.
You
know
I
I,
we
tend
to
say,
there's
no
use
blaming
the
blunt.
You
know
blaming
blaming
what's
preceded
us.
We've
got
to
solve
the
problems,
but
but
unfortunately,
much
of
the
the
funding
and
programs
that
were
historically
provided
by
the
state
of
Illinois
have
went
away
and
and
somebody's
got
to
step
in
and
so
I
think.
All
of
all
of
us,
with
this
initiative
have
accepted
that
there
there
needs
to
be
work
done
and
that
this
community
will
do
that
work
well,.
M
I
We
we
have
offered
annually
to
do
this.
I
think
we
we
did
make
reson
tation
a
normal
last
year,
we're
making
a
presentation
to
you.
This
year
we
said
we've
offered
to
both
entities.
I
think
it
is
helpful,
it's
helpful
to
understand
where
we've,
where
we've
been
and
where
we
can
go,
and
unfortunately
we
could
spend
hours
on
this.
M
And
I
would
just
say
that
that
I
would
echo
the
concerns
a
year,
you're
sharing
about
the
federal
and
state
level
funding
going
away
and
those
deep
concerns
and
and
I
would
just
add
on
that.
I
think
it's
disgusting-
that
our
federal
and
state
partners
don't
fund
these
programs
leaving
the
problem
for
us
to
solve
financially
and,
as
our
budgets
continue
to
dwindle,
we
don't
have
the
luxury
of
just
pushing
this
problem
to
somebody
else.
This
is
these
are
our
neighbors.
M
I
Know
I
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
that
that
we
are
getting
some
positive
responses
and
I.
Don't
think
anybody
can
disagree
with
the
fact
that
there
have
been
reductions
in
funding
over
the
long
term,
but
the
Department
of
Human
Services
mental
health
division
with
state
of
Illinois
has
expressed
a
willingness
and
desire
to
participate.
Samsa
has
been
very
active
with
us
over
the
last
two
years
and
we
hope
to
be
able
to
leverage
and
learn,
just
as
we
did
with
our
problem:
solving
courts,
first
drug
court
and
then
our
mental
health
court.
M
And
I
love
your
passion
on
this
project
and
I.
Just
remember
when
we
were
having
this
conversation
initially
when
it
came
to
sales
tax
revenue.
One
thing
that
really
struck
me
and
stays
with
me
today
is
that
the
folks
who
are
impacted
by
these
programs
will
never
be
here
advocating
for
themselves
and
it's
incumbent
upon
us
as
community
leaders,
to
make
that
that
happen.
So
I
appreciate
your
hard
work
and
thanks
for
the
update,
thank.
N
N
I
If
we
don't
understand
where
we
are
today,
and
we
understood
the
data,
I
mean
we
can
throw
money
out
there,
but
but
we
won't
know
how
successful
we
have
been
or
have
not
been
in
the
process
of
development
in
these
programs.
I
think
the
20-year
program
first
of
all,
obviously
provides
for
the
debt
service
for
the
largest
center
expansion.
That's
a
necessity
for
it
to
be
20
years,
but
I
think
20
years
provides
sufficient
time
for
us
to
learn
and
I've
discussed
a
couple
programs
where
experts
in
the
field
have
said
this
is
a
seven.
I
This
is
an
eight
year
program
right
to
get
there
develop
it
establish
it,
learn
about
it
and
learn
what
works
in
our
community,
because
not
every
community
is
the
same
either.
So
so
I
think
the
20-year
period
provides
that
opportunity.
It
provides
for
us
to
invest,
and
it
also
provides
for
an
opportunity
for
us
to
learn.
A
Other
questions,
okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thanks
for
all
you
do
appreciate
that
next
we're
going
to
move
to
public
comment
and
just
to
clarify
if
you
do
have
actual
issues
that
you
want
to
have
addressed
and
one
to
talk
to
myself
or
staff
or
others.
You
certainly
welcome
to
the
mayor's
open
house,
which
happens
every
other
week
right
over
there
in
the
fishbowl
public
comment.
We
don't
respond,
so
we
have
more
than
a
number
half
hours
worth
of
people
who
want
to
speak.
A
That
that's
correct,
they
didn't
get
to
speak.
The
last
regular
City,
Council,
meeting
right
and
and
I
did
talk
to
them
before
this
meeting.
So
essentially
you
have
up
to
three
minutes.
If
you
I
would
ask
especially
we
talking
about
the
same
topic
and
you're
being
repetitive
in
the
interest
of
having
as
many
people
as
possible
coming
forward.
I'd.
Ask
that
you
keep
your
comments
as
succinct
as
possible.
A
If
you
don't
really
need
your
three
minutes,
it
would
be
a
nice
gesture
to
others
to
not
use
your
entire
three
minutes,
so
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
start
now
and
we're
gonna
start
with
John
binning
and
Terry
Kirby
and
John
Brant
in
that
order,
and
so
it's
a
first
and
so
we
will
start
at
the
clock
at
853.
Excuse
me:
753,
not
853,
we're
not
there!
Yet.
O
Mayor
members
of
the
council,
thank
you
for
giving
me
this
opportunity.
I
was
really
prepared
to
speak
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
It's
a
special
session
about
the
dock
situation
at
Lake.
Bloomington
I
wanted
to
present
some
information
on
on
behalf
of
people
that
believe
that
the
enforcement
initiative
is
an
important
one.
O
I
wanted
to
talk
about
some
of
the
costs
of
unpermitted
docks
to
some
of
the
residents
of
like
Bloomington
I,
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
some
of
the
unsubstantiated
claims
that
people
have
made
and
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
history.
However,
I'm
more
than
willing
to
yield
my
time
right
now,
if
the
council
doesn't
need
to
hear
any
more
about
any
of
those
issues.
Well,.
P
Hello,
my
name
is
Terry
Kirby,
my
wife,
Beverly
and
I
fulfilled
a
lifelong
dream
when
we
purchased
our
home
on
Anderson
Road
at
the
south
end
of
Lake
Bloomington
on
the
Hickory
Creek
Basin
about
100
feet
from
our
home.
There
was,
and
it
is
a
well-maintained
dock
directly
contingent
to
our
back
yard
and
that
dock
has
been
there
since
the
early
1960s.
P
The
lots
of
homes
in
this
area
of
Lake
Bloomington
did
not
exist
when
the
lake
was
built
in
1930,
this
Hickory
Creek
basins,
marginal
land
and
lakefront
property
did
not
exist
prior
to
Lake
Bloomington's
dam
being
raised
in
1957
once
the
Lake
Dam
was
razed.
The
property
in
the
Hickory
Creek
Basin
essentially
became
lakefront
property.
In
my
estimation,
given
all
that
the
City
Council
has
the
opportunity
to
do
something
different
and
find
another
right
answer
for
our
Hickory
basin
homes
and
docks
this
other
right
answer.
P
When
you
vote
on
codifying
Lake
Bloomington
docks,
I
plead
with
you
to
add
one
of
these
additional
options
for
consideration,
allow
the
Hickory,
Creek
Basin
homeowners
to
lease
the
marginal
grounds
between
their
backyards
and
Lake
Bloomington.
So
we
could
be
granted
permits
to
keep
our
small
docks.
We
are
not
asking
for
the
right
to
build
on
city
land.
We
simply
seek
to
lease
the
bit
of
marginal
land
behind
our
homes,
for
the
sole
purpose
of
being
granted
permits
to
keep
our
small
docks.
P
If
this
option
doesn't
work,
please
consider
modifying
any
new
dock
codification
with
a
provision
to
grandfather
in
the
docks
on
rebasing.
Essentially,
we're
being
asked
to
do
something
unreasonable
and
we
do
not
agree
with
it.
Our
Doc's
are
not
troublesome.
In
my
estimation,
these
Doc's
are
not
harmful
to
the
lake
and
do
not
negatively
impact
water
quality.
They
do
not
negatively
impact
public
health,
safety
or
the
environment.
And,
lastly,
these
Doc's
do
not
have
any
complaints
of
any
sort
associated
with
them.
P
Our
Doc's
are
an
enhancement
to
the
quality
of
life
at
the
lake,
permitting
appropriate
leisure
and
recreational
access
to
one
of
central
Illinois
stab
you
lake
venues
when
buying
our
home.
We
trusted
in
the
good.
We
trusted
that
logic
and
common
sense
would
prevail
and
that
the
Bloomington
City
Council
would
not
leave
the
fate
of
so
many
homeowners
in
the
hands
of
one
or
two
individuals
that
do
not
represent
our
interests.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
Q
Famous
John
Brandt
and
my
reason
for
comment
tonight:
the
City
Council
and
the
city
government
you're
very
busy.
You
have
a
workload
that
is
extremely
heavy.
My
suggestion
is
in
approving
people
to
serve
on
committees
and
commissions.
I
would
suggest
that
you
make
part
of
their
job
to
make
time
available
during
the
year
for
them
to
hold
a
session
of
listening
to
citizens
and
explaining
what
all
their
Commission
is
doing
or
their
committee
is
doing
for
the
betterment
of
the
people.
Q
I
hear
many
complaints
about
people
that
think
that
government
doesn't
listen
and
I
would
have
to
say
in
coming
here
for
well
over
two
years,
I
haven't
understood
how
you
have
any
time
to
listen.
To
begin
with
and
I
say
to
you,
I
would
ask
you
to
consider
that
and
ask
these
appointments,
whoever
they
are.
Please
make
time
available,
not
just
you
mayor
on
Saturday.
They
can
pick
a
Saturday
or
a
Friday
afternoon
or
whatever
and
come
and
make
themselves
available
to
explain
what
they're
doing
what
their
plans
are
where
they're
going.
Q
B
B
We've
had
her
doc
there
for
12
years
the
lot
for
26
26
years,
and
we
took
a
permit
out.
We
went
through
all
the
processes
that
the
city
had
at
that
time
that
we
were
supposed
to
do
and
we
have
done
them.
I
talked
to
all
my
neighbors
at
the
time
when
I
did
it
that
I
shared
the
easement
with
and
my
neighbors
that
had
the
houses
there
and
what
we
were
wanting
to
do,
and
everyone
was
fine
with
it.
B
12
years
later
now
the
council
city
is
wanting
to
remove
I
think
that
the
City
Council
needs
to
think
about
themselves
and
not
what
the
city
staff
is
telling
you
guys
that
you
should
do.
This
is
a
big
impact
on
everyone's
life
that
has
a
doc
out
there,
because
it's
part
of
our
lives,
our
family
thanks
a
lot.
Thank.
R
R
The
issues
I
want
to
talk
about
number
one
is
whether
or
not
you
have
authority
to
reconsider
that
decision.
You
took
time
to
make
that
decision
and
you
casted
a
vote.
You
voted
for
option
1.
That
option
is
what
you
decided
so
there's
there's
no
reason
to
consider
and
there's
no
authority
to
consider
and
there's
been
no
sight
to
the
code
that
would
allow
you
to
reconsider
the
decision
tonight
over
what
you've
already
decided.
R
However,
if
you
decide
to
make
a
vote,
you
must
consider
the
fact
that
what
you'll
be
passing
is
a
sweeping
broad
measure
affecting
property
rights
of
all
the
citizens
that
have
these
dogs.
Many
of
the
docks
have
been
there
for
before
the
ordinance
was
entered
by
this
council
many
years
ago.
That
sweeping
measure
I
hope
that
all
of
you
had
an
opportunity
to
read
my
letter
that
was
emailed
within
24
hours
of
the
meeting
to
each
of
you.
R
Resolutions
by
this
council
have
to
be
specific
and
they
have
to
identify
the
specific
locality
and
other
descriptive
actions
of
what
you're
doing.
There's
nothing
in
the
code
that
says
that
the
city
of
Bloomington
can't
simply
use
the
code,
that's
already
established
to
issue
violations
that
they
think
a
violation
is
appropriate.
What
the
city
is
attempting
to
do
here
is
convince
you
of
entering
a
motion
and
a
provision
that
says
the
city's
going
to
decide
whether
or
not
your
dock
is
legal
or
not,
and
then
they're
going
to
issue
a
citation
on
your
decision.
R
The
difference
is,
is
whether
or
not
the
substantive
and
the
procedural
due
process
of
the
owners
of
the
docs
is
going
to
be
protected.
You've
already
spent
the
time
passing
an
ordinance
that
provides
for
those
protections.
It's
your
ordinance
statutes
and
the
compliance
Department
will
issue
those
if
one's
appropriate.
The
difference
is,
is
your
decision?
If
you
decide
to
move
on
this
resolution,
is
the
fact
that
they're
asking
you
to
decide?
R
Let
them
decide
whose
docks
are
lawful
or
not,
and
then
issue
a
citation
for
not
removing
their
dock
as
opposed
to
issuing
a
notice,
and
then
we
get
to
the
issue
of
what
was
the
policy
was,
was
the
permit
issued
on
a
handshake?
Was
it
issued
on
an
email?
Was
it
issued
on
a
permit?
All
of
these
factual
basis
be
considered.
Thank
you.
S
Hello
I'm
mark
Sperry
I
am
here
to
talk
about
I'm,
not
here
to
talk
about
docs
at
all
I'm
here
to
talk
about
item
number
F
when
a
regular
agenda.
I
am
one
of
the
owners
of
mechanical
devices
which
is
east
of
the
property
that
you're
looking
at
putting
the
circle-k
in
for
50
years,
mechanical
devices
was
located
on
Oakland
Avenue
next
door
to
a
slickers.
S
We
run
a
machine
shop,
that's
operating
heavy
equipment,
metal
cutting
and
I've
lived
firsthand
through
my
parents,
the
aftermath
of
being
next
door
to
a
liquor,
store.
I
know
that
Circle
K
is
not
going
to
be
a
liquor
store,
but
by
selling
liquor
and
having
their
operation
on
the
adjoining
property
line,
for
the
daycare
I
think
is
wrong.
S
S
T
No
I'm
already
going
what
you
guys
are
all
looking
at
is
a
FOIA
that
I
submitted
two
things
about
the
stock
issues
that
have
bothered
me
since
day.
One
is
that
I've
been
told
that
it's
a
water
quality
issue
because
of
the
boats
and
that
I
don't
have
a
permit.
So
the
picture
that
is
being
passed
around
is
a
picture
of
the
docks
that
the
city
of
Bloomington
installed
last
fall
after
this
project
had
already
started
the
FOIA
as
it
states.
T
The
very
first
question
I
asked
is
how
many
permits
are
there
at
Lake
Bloomington
right
now
there
are
32.
If
you
look
to
the
second
page
of
that,
FOIA
I
asked
how
many
had
been
granted
since
this
project
started:
February
13,
2017
27.
So
when
this
started
and
was
first
brought
to
Council,
there
was
five
total
permits
on
the
lake
you'll
see.
T
The
second
question
on
the
second
page
is
how
many
of
those
permits
were
given
to
non
lakefront
less
seats
to
so
at
the
time
this
started
40
percent
of
the
docks
that
were
permitted,
we're
not
in
lakefront
lessees,
as
you
go
through
the
spreadsheet,
which
is
what
I
got
attached
to
my
FOIA.
You
can
see
a
lot
of
them
that
are
highlighted.
Some
of
them
say
permit
not
required,
but
permit
for
a
pass
structure
was
obtained.
T
L
U
My
name
is
Betty
Toland
I
am
talking
about
the
Liquor
Commission
item
F.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
the
Liquor
Commission
for
wanting
to
pass
an
ordinance
which
prohibits
liquor
sales
next
to
daycare
centers
and
schools.
As
a
young
man
on
that
Commission
said
it's,
the
kids
and
I
agree
completely
as
a
mom
I
hate
to
think
of
any
business
selling
liquor
near
a
school
and
as
a
grandmother,
it's
scary,
to
think
of
a
place
selling
alcoholic
beverages
next
door
to
a
daycare
center.
U
We
need
to
protect
our
children,
those
who
have
no
voice
and
those
who
cannot
talk
to
the
council.
If
we,
if
we
don't
protect
them,
who
will
we
have
a
good
community?
We
need
to
keep
it
that
way
and
we
as
citizens
need
you.
The
council
together,
govern
our
community
in
a
way
that
encourages
wholesome
values
and
promotes
responsible,
behavior
liquor,
sales
and
daycare.
Centers
simply
do
not
go
together.
It's
in
congruous
that
these
two
businesses
would
be
adjacent
to
each
other,
especially
separated
by
only
100
feet.
U
People
have
enrolled
their
children
in
daycare
centers
and
sent
students
to
schools
based
on
expectations
that
the
surrounding
properties
will
remain
positive
and
safe
environments
allowing
nicob
nearby
liquor
sales
negates
this
expectations
because
of
all
the
accompanying
concerns
the
100-feet
bothers
me.
It's
not
enough
distance.
This
council
room
is
28
feet
wide
four
times.
This
would
be
less
than
100
feet
for
an
adjacent,
Liquor
Commission.
U
The
council
room
from
this
year.
Does
this
podium
to
that
back
wall
is
50
feet,
we're
talking
two
times
this
distance.
That
is
not
enough
to
space.
It's
close
to
close
to
innocent
children,
so
I
hope
that
the
council
will
vote
YES.
The
proposed
Liquor,
Commission
and
I
hope
that
they
I
request
fervently
that
they
amend
this
ordinance
to
restrict
liquor
sales
to
500
feet,
or
at
least
300
feet
from
daycare
or
a
school.
U
V
Scott's
timely
one
five
I
guess
my
concern
is
why
the
City
Council
issued
that
Proclamation
to
Comcast
this
evening.
I
was
with
Comcast
for
well
over
30
years
and
I've
had
nothing
but
grief.
Thankfully
I'm
rid
of
him.
The
bigger
these
companies
get
the
worse
they
get,
and
to
think
that
the
city
will
grant
them
a
franchise.
I
cannot
believe
it
a
sole
franchise
if
they
would
get
any
competition
in
this
town.
They'd
be
out
of
business.
V
V
To
think
that
Bloomington
are
normal
are
as
close
as
they
are
and
they
argue
like
they
do.
I
lost
a
wheel
disc,
while
driving
on
Bloomington
streets
and
I
know.
Jim
is
not
going
to
like
this,
but
we
have
potholes
all
over
the
city
and
I,
don't
Jim
keep
saying
I
keep
bringing
it
up
and
I
will
keep
bringing
it
up
until
it's
addressed.
We
all
we
have
money
to
do
everything
else,
but
we
do
not
have
money
to
take
care
of
our
streets.
V
I
would
like
to
know
why
Terry
are
they
very
nice
in
your
area
and
all
the
aldermen?
Are
they
paved
in
gold
and
you
let
potholes
go
with
the
rest
of
the
city.
I
had
a
storm
drain
right
out
in
front
of
my
house
that
they
are
going
to
address
10
years
ago
and
I'm
still
waiting,
I
wonder
if
I'd
be
10
years
late
with
comparing
my
property
taxes.
If
my
property
be
there
10
years
later,
you
know
good
well,
they
wouldn't,
and
to
think
that
this
the
city
has
they're
very
blessed
to
have
mr.
V
Rasmussen
as
this
interim
city
manager.
Let's
see
you
be
the
interim
mayor,
maybe
we
should
try
that
think
Terry
also,
you
know
the
the
fact
that
the
people
say
you
know.
Well,
it's
the
city
of
Bloomington,
whether
it
says
the
city
blemings
is
welcome
to
you.
It
should
say:
welcome
to
Bloomington
home
of
the
potholes
rotten
roads
and
Terry.
What
about
the
p-card?
You
know,
have
you
ever
forgotten
about
that?
Or
are
you
hoping
that
people
will
forget
about
that
and
just
fade
into
the
sunset.
W
Here
I
am
again
I
want
to
challenge
the
City
Council
I'm
talking
about
Jefferson,
Street
I.
Think
the
council
has
a
wonderful
opportunity
that
is
a
street
and
the
six
blocks
that
are
included
in
this
summer's
work
for
street
repairs
and
so
forth
is
actually
a
really
redefined
downtown
Bloomington.
Why
not
do
something
special?
W
You
have
apparently
agreed
to
overlay
that
with
asphalt,
you
are
putting
off
doing
something
special
for
downtown
Bloomington
for
20
years
by
that
action
there
is
so
much
more
possibility
and
I
think
that
with
given
some
time
and
some
more
temporary,
covering
I
understand
that
there
are
issues
with
that.
Street
I've
been
on
it
enough
times
to
know
that
there
are
potholes
and
there
are
some
safety
issues.
W
Just
think
of
what
it
would
be
is
a
visual
excitement
and
introduction
to
downtown
Bloomington
to
have
those
six
blocks
looks
special
I'm
sorry,
but
asphalt
isn't
special.
So
please
think
about
this
and
allow
you've
got
so
many
plans
going
so
much
work,
that's
in
the
in
the
works.
Now
that
will
make
this
downtown
Bloomington
planning
come
to
fruition.
This
could
be
a
wonderful
first
step
in
identifying
an
action
that
could
happen
in
a
relatively
short
period
of
time.
Just
don't
make
it
asphalt
this
summer.
Please
thank.
X
Bloomington
needs
to
pass
a
welcoming
city
ordinance
for
boat
docks,
I've,
you've,
unpermitted
boat
docks
to
be
similar
to
illegal
immigrants
in
the
u.s.
without
documentation.
The
boat
docks
are
simply
undocumented,
it's
not
their
fault.
The
city
makes
the
documentation
process
too
hard
for
boat
docks.
The
boat
docks
have
been
here
since
they
were
first
built.
X
A
A
A
A
K
Y
In
answer
to
that,
a
couple
things
that
we've
looked
at
in
the
past,
but
these
are
the
similar
things
we've
looked
at.
We
love
it
when
people
compost
any
of
their
grass
there
they're,
you
know
kitchen
waste.
All
of
those
things
can
be
composted
locally
in
your
backyard.
So
all
of
that
still
remains
for
us,
though.
Thirty-Five
thousand
what
we
have
found,
we
have
not
found
cheaper
alternatives
whenever
we
look
at
the
firing
range.
That
was
something
we
had
talked
about:
a
staff
for
some
of
our
brush.
Y
Some
of
our
leaves,
as
we
looked
further
into
that
that
can
still
be
problematic
with
the
iepa.
We
were
hoping
that
that
might
not
be
an
issue.
We
have
found
that
there
was
some
hurdles
we
had
to
get
through
that
we
wanted
to
at
least
allow
for
some
time
to
look
into
that.
I'm
still
hopeful
long
term,
I'd
still
like
to
look
at
something
with
some
of
our
brush
from
a
composting
standpoint.
It
is
ideal
when
you
can
compost
some
of
that
material
problem
is
currently.
Y
We
have
no
permitted
composting
place
in
the
city
of
Bloomington.
That
is
something
that
is
in
the
20-year
solid
waste
plan.
The
town
of
normal
does
haul
their
leaves
up
to
the
ISU
farms
even
further
away,
but
it
is
not
just
and
they
also
pay
they'll
also
pay
for
their
leaves
to
be
disposed.
One
facet,
though,
is
that
even
if
we
took
it
to
our
own
farm,
some
of
the
issues
for
us
is
you
have
to
distribute
that
you
have
to
take
that
and
you
have
to
still
land
apply
it.
Y
That's
really
the
essence
of
the
problem
for
the
leaf
disposal.
Finding
a
farmer
that's
willing
to
take
it,
and
then
one
that's
willing
to
you
know
again
spread
that
they
have
the
right
spreading
equipment
to
be
able
to
do
that
for
the
grass
and
leaves
so
we
that's.
Why
I
also,
we
went
out
for
a
public
bid,
we'd
love
to
be
able
to
have
some
additional
people
to
be
able
to
speak
into
that,
but
we
are
thankful
that
we
do
have
a
farmer
that
is
willing
to
continue
participation.
That
has
been
good
to
work
with.
Y
That
has
also
an
accessible
farm
because
some
say
oh
great
call
it
right
into
the
middle
of
the
field,
spread
it
for
us
and
we'll
take
it
well,
we
don't
have
the
equipment.
We
also
have
to
be
careful
with
our
trucks.
Once
you
get
off
road,
they
sink,
they
have
problems.
We
have
to
have
a
hard
place
to
be
able
to
dump.
So
we
still
are
open
and
want
to
find
other
alternatives,
but
we
have
not
found
something
cheaper
than
what
we're
providing
to
you
tonight.
Okay,.
A
Motion
carries
9
to
0.
There
are
no
names
to
announce,
madam
clerk.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
move
on
to
our
regular
agenda
and
we
have
item
9,
a
consideration
of
the
purchase
of
100,
complete
assets,
jacket
and
pants
of
globe.
Custom
G,
extreme
3.0,
firefighter
turnout
here
in
the
amount
of
282
thousand
two
hundred
and
three
dollars
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
our
chief
and
we're
bringing
this
to
you,
because,
primarily
because
of
the
dollar
amount.
Yes,.
Z
A
Z
Mayor
City
Council
tonight
I'm
seeking
the
approval
of
purchase
for
the
hundreds
of
firefighter
turnout
gear.
Fire
firefighting
has
always
been
dangerous
occupation.
Most
of
my
career
training
has
been
focused
on
how
to
manage
risk
and
how
to
minimize
risk.
Typically,
this
was
focused
on
fire
fire.
Excuse
me
firefighter
survival
operating
in
the
hazard
zone
or
operating
an
environment
that
is
immediately
dangerous
to
life
and
health.
Z
Over
the
last
10
years,
there's
been
an
increased
focus
on
the
relationship
between
fire
fighting
and
cancer,
NIOSH
National
Institute
of
Occupational
Safety
and
Health
reports
that
firefighters
have
a
14
percent
greater
chance
of
dying
from
cancer.
General
preventional
excuse
me,
then
the
general
public
and
are
twice
as
likely
to
get
skin
cancer
testicular
cancer
mesothelioma.
Z
Why
research
suggests
that
an
increased
exposure
to
known
carcinogens
and
smoke
contribute
contribute
to
contributes
to
these
statistics.
Chemicals
from
smoke
permit
permeates
our
PPE
chemicals
from
smoke.
Excuse
me,
the
gear
that
is
designed
to
protect
us
from
fire
becomes
contaminated
with
these
contaminants
and
then
are
absorbed
into
our
into
our
skin
or
are
off
gassed
and
and
inhaled.
Z
We
freak
with
clean
hoods
during
the
recycle
and
rehab
operation,
removing
gross
contaminations
from
our
gear
on
scene
before
returning
to
the
station
keeping
contaminated
gear
out
of
our
living
quarters
and
out
of
our
apparatus,
good
laundering
procedures,
VAR
p,
our
PPE,
as
well
as
our
uniforms
and
then
last
but
not
least,
showering
as
soon
as
possible.
Following
an
exposure
contaminated
PPE
needs
to
be
laundered
after
every
exposure
to
a
working
fire
for
live
training
exercise.
A
Z
Z
That's
why
this
one
time
around,
but
you
know
I
I
personally
prefer
in
the
future,
if,
unless
it's
not
cost-effective,
if
we
could
just
spread
the
payment
outs
a
little
bit
and
get
a
few
sets
every
year,
because
there's
probably
some
sets
that
you're
gonna
need
along
the
way
that
aren't
gonna,
make
it
to
a
10-year
life
cycle
anyway.
So
we
can
include
those
into
that
percentage
that
we
replace
every
year,
otherwise
I
think
this
is
completely
necessary,
so
certainly-
and
just
address
that
in
the
past
we
were
at
a
five-year
replacement
program.
Z
So
there
are
you:
can
you
can
use
turnout
gear
up
to
ten
years
as
long
as
it
passes
the
field
test
which
we
perform
on
a
monthly
basis,
but
we
extended
that
to
seven-year
replacement
a
few
years
ago.
So
now,
if
we
were
to
continue
at
that,
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
get
enough
life
cycle
out
of
that
gear
again,
I
believe
if
we
get
back
to
the
five-year
replacement
schedule
after
this
purchase.
Obviously
there's
gonna
be
some
challenges.
Z
We're
gonna
have
turnover
that
some
of
that
gear
will
be
put
back
into
our
cache
of
equipment.
That's
stored
in
in
the
main
supply
room,
but
again
I
believe
the
same
thing.
I
would
rather
not
do
it
this
way,
but
I
saw
this
is
an
opportunity
at
this
point
in
time
to
where
we
could
have
this
well,
a
health
and
wellness
initiative
passed
makes
sense
to
me.
Okay,.
A
A
The
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce,
madam
clerk.
Thank
you
Miss
thinking
about.
For
chief
next,
we
move
to
item
9b
consideration
of
an
ordinance
and
issuance
of
the
sale
of
tax-exempt
general
obligation,
notes
in
the
amount
of
nine
hundred
seventy
thousand
dollars
and
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
Scott.
As.
H
Everyone
knows
the
purchase
of
the
frontier
Lots
originally
targeted,
with
the
goal
of
providing
additional
parking
for
the
PC,
PA
and
downtown
was
approved
by
council
April
24
2017
for
nine
hundred
sixty
one
thousand.
At
that
time.
The
financial
impact
section
of
the
memo
said
financing
would
be
reviewed
by
the
department.
The
purchase
was
closed
in
February
of
this
year
and
the
city
paid
cash
from
the
general
fund.
There
was
some
discussion
when
we
brought
forward
a
request
to
seek
financing.
Why
weren't
we
paying
cash
and
upon
discussion
with
Patty
and
some
others.
H
We
think
the
conversation
related
to
that
was
revolving
around
the
sewer
and
the
storm
water
cash
for
capital
designated
revenue
related
to
capital
projects.
This
is
a
large
purchase
that
came
out
of
the
general
fund,
so
the
finance
staff
recommends
that
we
do.
We
actually
finance
it.
It
gives
us
mechanism
to
manage
our
reserve
balances
for
the
general
fund,
the
15%
with
Clayton
Holdings
LLC,
which
is
Commerce
Bank.
There
are
no
Redemption
issues
there.
We
can.
We
can
pay
it
off
at
any
time
they
had.
The
best
rate
rates
are
still
really
good.
H
The
blended
rate
is
under
3%
for
this.
We
we
sent
out
a
proposal
to
many
local
banks.
We
have
five
back
we're
recommending
that
we
go
forward
with
Clayton
Holdings
Commerce
Bank
they've
been
very
good
to
work
with
in
the
past
and
again
I
think
this
really
gives
us
the
flexibility
to
manage
our
reserves,
get
that
almost
a
million
dollars
back
into
the
general
fund
and
give
us
that
opportunity
to
pay
it
back.
This
is
a
ten
year
payback
at
a
very
good
rate.
L
H
L
D
To
reiterate
that
I'm
I'm
disappointed
that
when
we,
when
this
was
brought
to
us
initially,
we
were
told
not
to
worry
about
how
we
were
going
to
pay
for
it.
We
had
the
money
to
pay
for
it.
I
didn't
realize
when
I
voted
to
purchase
this,
that
we
were
going
to
be
financing
the
property,
so
I
just
want
to
voice
my
disappointment.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
Okay,
the
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce
Madame
clerk.
We
move
right
along
to
the
next
item
and
that
is
item
9c
consideration
resolution
waiving
the
formal
bidding
process
to
approve
a
contract
with
mid-illinois,
mechanical
and
company
up
to
two
hundred,
ninety
thousand
eight
hundred
and
seventy
five
dollars
and
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
Russ
Waller.
I
I'm
presenting
on
the
replacement
of
the
brian
piping
system,
where
some
of
the
brian
piping
system
at
pepsi,
I
senator
grossing
of
motors
arena,
just
for
some
clarification,
this
project
was
bid.
We
did
bid
the
project,
we
did
not
receive
any
bids
so
that
we
need
not
to
one
of
the
vendors
and
negotiated
a
price.
Basically,
as
indicated
in
the
memo,
it
was
just
poor
timing.
They
had
a
lot
of
projects
going
on,
and
so
we
didn't
get
any
bids.
I
From
that
reason,
just
a
little
explanation
of
how
a
typical
ice
floor
is
constructed
a
pictorial
here,
the
main
thing
we're
concentrating
on
tonight
is
actually
the
piping
below
the
concrete.
It's
actually
embedded
in
sand
below
the
the
floor.
It's
the
warm
brian
piping
system.
I
know
there's
some,
maybe
some
Oh,
some
of
the
stuff
I
read
in
the
paper,
was
a
little
misconstrued.
It's
not
correct
the
piping
that
is
has
to
be
replaced.
It's
not
this
piping,
that's
below
the
floor.
I
It's
actually
the
piping
that
feeds
the
the
warm
brian
system
below
the
floor,
the
cold
floor
system
that
actually
makes
the
ice
is
embedded
in
the
concrete
floor.
We're
not
having
any
problems
with
that.
It
is
the
warm
brain
piping
like
I
said
it
is
the
piping
that
feeds
this
whole
system.
It
is
not
anything
within
the
floor
or
anything
that
we'd
have
to
tear
up
the
ice
rink
to
do
the
repairs,
it's
actually
the
feeder
piping.
That
takes
the
warm
material,
the
warm
solution
from
the
ice
plant
out
to
the
floors.
I
Just
to
give
you
a
little
more
examples,
so
this
is
once
again,
you
have
the
two
systems:
there's
the
cold,
barn
piping,
that's
actually
embedded
in
the
concrete
in
the
floor.
Here's
the
warm
bryant
piping!
That's
that
you
would
see
is
embedded
air
buried
in
sand
below
the
floor.
This
wouldn't
get
installed
first,
and
then
they
would
install
this
here's
the
headers
that
feed
all
of
that.
So
this
still
is
not
the
material
we're
talking
about
the
pipe
we're
talking
about
is
actually,
from
this
point
back
to
the
ice
plant
that
we're
looking
at
replacing.
I
I
I
Deeper
and
deeper,
and
eventually
you
could
result
in
basically
of
the
entire
floor
being
destroyed.
So
here's
just
some
examples:
I
do
not
have
any
pictures
of
an
actual
ice
for
that
has
been
destroyed,
but
this
is
a
garage
that
I
found
online.
This
is
someone's
patio,
but
just
to
give
you
an
example
of
what
consequence
we
could
do
we're
not
moving
forward
this
project,
some
other
ideas,
just
overnight
ideas,
but
additional
research,
we've
done
on
other
rinks
that
have
had
this
problem.
So
this
is
not
an
uncommon
problem.
I
I
G
I
Again,
some
consequences
of
not
moving
forward.
This
project
is,
like
I,
said
the
heaving
of
the
floor.
Some
of
the
costs
that
work
that
occurred
from
those
other
projects.
You
look
at
about
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
to
replace
the
entire
floor.
If
we
do
get
to
that
point
and
that
is
per
floor,
we
have
two
rinks
over
there
you're
looking
at
about
a
five
million
dollar
project.
Also
the
potential.
G
A
D
W
A
By
all
the
woman
Schmidt,
any
any
discussion,
I
was
about
to
say
further
discussion,
but
okay,
if
everyone
will
go
ahead
and
vote
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce.
Madam
clerk,
we
move
on
to
item
9
d,
very,
very
efficient
mr.
Ted
sloth.
This
is
consideration
in
the
purchase
of
new
golf
maintenance
equipment
from
the
ER
B
turf
equipment
in
the
amount
of
250,
4420,
$19.97
and
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
you
for
a
brief
presentation
and
then
brief
counsel,
discussion.
Thank
you.
F
Guys
can
see
that
so
I'm
trying
to
be
very
brief
here.
This
is
money
that
was
budgeted
in
this
year's
golf
enterprise
fund.
It
is
basically
typical,
its
basic
its
routine
in
nature.
As
most
consent
items
have
been
the
past
with
the
dollar
amount,
it's
was
moved
to
the
regular
agenda
and
we
lump
sum
together.
I
know
all
the
math.
You
said
the
question:
we
try
to
lump
our
purchases
together
to
get
our
most
bang
for
the
buck
and
the
majority
of
this
equipment
we're
buying
is
three
times
three
times
past
life
expectancy.
F
F
F
AA
M
A
The
mowers,
if
everyone
will
go
ahead
and
vote
motion,
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce
madam
Clerk,
and
we
move
right
along
to
actually
the
next
item
and
Thank
You
mr.
Carter
for
once
again
being
very
efficient,
especially
in
a
long.
An
agenda
with
a
long
agenda.
Excuse
me
a
night
with
a
long
agenda,
and
this
is
item
9e
on
our
agenda,
and
this
actually
involves
several
projects.
A
We're
bringing
all
of
these
a
through
G
to
the
council,
small,
a
through
small
G
to
the
council
because
of
the
dollar
amounts,
so
you're
going
to
kind
of
summarize
each
of
these
and
we
can
and
I'm
looking
over
at
our
legal
counsel.
We
can't
take
these
like
consent
agenda,
as
we
didn't
have
done
in
the
past
as
a
as
a
block
if
the
council
so
desires.
Okay,
thank
you,
mayor
City,.
Y
Council
first
I'd
like
to
give
credit
city
manager
Rasmussen
that
this
was
a
good
idea
to
lump
all
of
these
projects
together.
Why
are
we
trying
to
do
all
this
at
once?
We
are
trying
to
in
totality
bring
these
to
you,
because
as
a
staff,
this
is
for
the
next
fiscal
year,
starting
May
1st.
We
want
to
try
to
bid
as
much
work
as
we
can
early
in
the
construction
season
so
that
we
can
be
proactive
and
have
as
much
of
that
work
done
throughout
the
construction
season
as
possible.
Y
So
in
summary
we
are,
we
are
lumping
together.
As
the
mayor
said,
we
are
lumping
together.
Street
resurfacing,
work,
sidewalk,
work
and
then
maintenance
contracts,
all
in
seven
total
contracts.
So,
yes,
we
will
hit
briefly
resurfacing
sidewalks
and
then
I'll
summarize
for
you,
some
of
the
maintenance
contracts
and
we'll
try
to
be
done
in
well
under
time.
So
with
that
being
said,
we
we
do
have
many
streets
that
we
are
we
put
out
there.
There
are
online
for
citizens
to
look
at.
Y
Y
They
publicly
said
that
they're
struggling
to
try
to
be
as
proactive
as
they
want
to
be
with
the
resource
level
they're
at
we.
Thankfully,
the
council
provided
us
resources,
starting
May
1st,
where
we
will
have
additional
funding,
so
we
hope
to
be
more
proactive.
Moving
forward,
we've
reached
about
the
end
of
our
useful
ability
where
we
can
get
proactive
with
our
sewers,
so
so
the
the
rate
increase,
we're
seeing
is
just
at
the
right
time
for
us
to
continue
our
proactive
stance
with
our
sewers.
Y
Y
He
is
the
person
I've
told
you
about
before
that
manages
our
street
resurfacing
program
a
one
individual
that
rates
everything
puts
together
the
contracts
reviews
the
contracts
inspects
the
what
the
work
that
the
contractor
does,
if
the
amount
not
just
that
the
pavement
preservation,
the
coordination
with
the
utility
companies,
the
day-to-day
coordination
of
all
that
happens,
he
got
the
engineering
technician
of
the
Year
award
in
the
state
of
Illinois
through
our
professional
organization.
So
a
big
credit
to
him.
He
will
be
coming
before
you.
I
will
embarrass
the
heck
out
of
him.
Y
Whenever
we
get
to
the
point,
we
can
bring
him
before
you,
but
just
want
to
give
him
credit
for
his
year-after-year
efforts
with
our
program.
As
you
know,
we
have
all
of
our
streets
rated
in
town
we've
said
this
so
many
times,
but
we
bring
before
you
objective
performance
measure
based
recommendations
and
that's
what
we
really
try
to
do
as
a
staff.
We
say
worst
first
approach,
but
that's
with
the
caveat
that
that's
when
we
have
the
infrastructure,
the
underground
infrastructure
assessed
and
in
a
condition
where
we
can
take
care
of
it.
Y
So
we
are
looking
at
a
couple
different
projects
that
Jefferson
Street.
You
might
want
to
talk
more
about.
That's
great
Fairway,
Drive
Empire!
That's
one
I
want
to
give
you
the
heads
up
that
we
are
still
having
to
work
with
it
is
in
the
program
you
are.
We
are
acting
on
it.
We
want
to
have
that
done.
Y
We
are
still
having
to
work
with
the
Illinois
Department
of
Transportation,
it's
in
there
right
away
for
Empire,
so
we
still
are
having
to
work
with
the
idot's
on
that
that
road,
because
we're
having
to
you,
know,
jump
through
some
some
bureaucratic
hoops
right.
That's
that's
one
thing
that
has
to
happen
so
we're
we're
working
with
that.
We
still
want
to
try
to
get
that
done
within
the
construction
season,
but
I
do
see
that
as
a
concern,
so
we'll
have
to
keep
monitoring
that
and
bring
it
back
to
you.
Y
So
with
that,
you
can
ask
questions
once
we
get
to
that.
Let
me
jump
to
our
sidewalk
program
again.
This
is
an
award-winning
sidewalk
program
that
we
won
the
management
Innovation
Awards
statewide
for
this
sidewalk
master
plan
that
the
council
approved,
of
which
we
are
in
year,
four
of
ten.
So
tonight
we're
asking
you
to
vote
on
year.
Four
of
ten
you've
been
fully
funding
our
sidewalk
master
program.
So
after
this
year
six
more
years
we
will
have
all
of
our
sidewalks
to
where
they're
they're
serviceable
they're
in
a
good
condition.
We
are.
Y
We
will
be
a
much
better
shape
in
this
community
within
six
years,
because
the
council
has
courageously
taken
that
year-after-year
action
of
fully
funding
a
staff
generated
master
plan.
So
a
couple
things
that
we're
doing
we
we
do
have
still
have
a
50/50
program.
Our
first
preference
is
residential
properties,
but
then
we've
even
expanded
that
to
make
sure
we
utilize
all
that
money
to
nonprofits
commercial
properties
toward
the
end
of
the
year.
We
really
want
to
leverage
that
as
much
as
we
can
so
we've
tried
to
again
be
proactive
with
those
things.
Y
A
couple
highlights
for
you,
I'd
like
to
talk
about
some
different
philosophy.
Steve
Arnie
is
another
one
of
our
engineering
technicians.
Just
hear:
compliments
from
him
about
him
all
the
time
from
from
folks
in
the
downtown
right
now,
just
doing
a
yeoman's
job
of
working
with
the
line
of
the
stakeholders.
Y
Building
a
lot
of
consensus
will
see
different
planners
and
we
give
a
lot
of
credit
to
our
parks,
recreation
and
cultural
arts
department
for
for
their
efforts
in
the
downtown
you're
gonna
see
a
lot
of
those
improvements
on
Front
Mulberry
you're,
seeing
even
some
they'll
be
coming
this
year
on
Jefferson,
so
just
a
lot
of
great
improvements
that
we
continue
to
make
in
the
downtown.
So
thanks
to
our
staff
for
that,
but
in
the
past
what
we
had
to
do
is
we
got
a
complaint
about
a
property.
We
go
out
to
that
property.
Y
We
fix
the
panels.
We
had
to
have
tunnel
vision,
and
so
we
said,
oh
okay.
We've
got
this
complaint,
we're
just
going
to
deal
with
with
this
this
house,
because
of
what
the
council's
been
doing
when
really
been
sticking
with
that
block
by
block
approach,
so
I
just
a
couple
different
areas
on
Mill
walnut
Chrysler
to
where
we
don't
just,
we
might
get
a
complaint
in
one
area,
but
we
deal
with
the
whole
block.
Y
We
have
to
put
a
stop
at
some
point,
but
instead
of
just
looking
at
the
one
property
that
complain,
we
try
to
take
more
of
a
holistic
approach
so
that
we've
seen
as
a
very
big
positive
improvement
and
gotten
a
lot
of
support
from
residents
on
that.
The
next
thing
I'd
like
to
highlight
is
our
expansion
of
our
saw
cutting
our
grinding
whenever,
as
many
of
you
know,
sidewalk
lasts
for
a
very
long
time.
Y
You
know
a
whenever
we
see
sidewalk
that
can
last
50
years
plus,
but
the
problem
is
trees,
sewer,
sewer
trenches
and
then
sometimes
just
that
as
rusted
point
out,
sometimes
there's
just
the
soil,
he
that
happens,
but
most
of
the
time
it's
trees
and
sewer
sewers
that
cause
those
those
vertical
displacements.
That
can
be
a
tripping
hazard
so,
instead
of
if
the
sidewalk
panels
are
in
good
condition,
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
in
our
sidewalk
master
plan
is
to
expand
this
grinding
concept.
That
really
is
more
cost
effective.
It's
about
half
the
cost.
Y
If
you
had
to
replace
all
of
it,
it
makes
sense
that
most
people
say
well
sure
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
We
utilized
it
extensively
in
the
downtown
all
of
the
red
areas
we
looked
at
and
did
us.
We
looked
at
trying
to
utilize
a
grinding
contract
in
downtown
Bloomington
to
try
to
make
that
more
safer
for
our
pedestrians,
and
we
really
got
again
a
lot
of
positive
feedback
from
many
of
our
downtown
constituents.
That
really
saw
that
as
a
positive
movement.
Y
This
year
we
intend
on
completing
all
of
the
work,
at
least
that
we
can
do
with
grinding
in
the
downtown
so
that
that
is
a
very
positive
step.
So
we
just
want
to
highlight
some
different
streets
and
areas
that
we
have
again
utilize,
that
grinding
contract
tonight,
you're
going
to
be
approving,
hopefully
a
grinding
contract
where
we
specifically
specifically
broke
it
out,
where
we
just
didn't
want
to
have
it
part
of
the
sidewalk
contract.
We
hoped
we
could
get
better
bids.
Y
If
we
broke
out
a
separate
contract,
thankfully
we
were
able
to
get
very
good
bids,
so
we
hope
to
maybe
continue
to
do
that.
So
tonight
we
are
looking
at
street
work.
We've
talked
about
that
sidewalk
contracts,
the
last
item
that
I
don't
even
even
pull
up
any
slides
on
well,
first
I
guess
let
me
say
this
with
sidewalks.
Let
me
finish
this
out.
We
are
on
track.
We
are
attractive.
The
council
I'll
give
want
to
give
credit.
The
council's
consistently
followed
the
practices
of
that
sidewalk
master
plan.
Y
So
with
that,
let
me
quickly
my
life
for
you.
The
maintenance
contracts
very
simply
advance
the
mechanism
that
staff
uses
that
we
are
trying
to
address
this.
The
items
that
come
out
throughout
the
come
up
throughout
the
year.
We
don't
always
have
those
planned
as
a
community.
We
know
that
that
things
happen,
we
can't
plan
for
them
and
if
we
just
said
oh
I'm,
sorry,
we
can't
deal
with
that
cave
until
next
year.
I'm
sorry,
we
can't
handle
that
failure
of
a
payment
till
next
year.
That
would
not
go
well.
Y
Our
maintenance
contracts
allow
us
to
deal
with
traffic
signals.
Even
seeding
and
grass
streets,
sidewalks
sewer
work
all
of
those
things
it
gives
staff
the
flexibility
to
to
bid
that
bid
the
work,
but
also
have
the
flexibility
to
say
hey.
This
has
come
up.
We
have
to
deal
with
this.
This
cannot
wait.
Every
year
we
fully
utilize
our
maintenance
contracts
and
have
projects
waiting
it,
so
they
are
fully
utilized
and
it's
been
a
very
positive
thing.
We've
we've
over
the
years
tried
to
find
the
best
ways
to
do
it.
Y
Z
Jim,
do
we
have
any
sort
of
a
mechanism
from
year
to
year
or
we're
tracking
complaints
would
be
one
concern
as
well
as
anybody
who's
coming
back,
that's
a
bid,
and
then
they
come
back
with
scope
or
work
changes
or
or
increasing
bids.
Do
we
track
those
things
from
year
to
year
and
then
use
that
in
our
evaluation
process
of
who
we
award
future
bids?
Yes,.
Y
And
no
so,
yes,
we
do
track
some
mill
complaints
from
for
specifically
for
contractors
and
so
specifically
for
contractors
it
they're
either
sustained
or
unsustained,
because
sometimes
you
know
in
reality,
there
are
complaints
that
that
we
were
not
able
to
find
factually
that
we
wanted
to
hold
that
against.
You
know
we
felt
that
that
was
appropriate
to
hold
against
the
contractor.
We
do
have
the
ability
and
we've
actually
had
those
conversations
with
with
contractors.
Those
those
heart-to-heart
conversations
to
say
look.
This
is
this
is
unacceptable.
Y
You
need
to
deal
with
this
and
honestly,
most
of
the
time
they'll.
We
have
a
lot
of
give
credit
where
credit
is
due
when
it's
those
hey
this
the
contract
says
this
and
we
you
have
to
do
it.
The
time
they'll
come
through.
There
have
been
times,
we've
had
court
cases
where
we've
had
to
go
and
have
conversations
of
contractors
to
ensure
that
they
comply
with
the
contract,
so
that
is
part
of
the
contractual
process
of
us
dealing
with
them.
But
your
question:
yes,
we
can.
Y
We
haven't
utilized
that
where
we
have
precluded
a
contractor
from
being
able
to
bid,
we
call
it
the
apparent
low
responsible
bidder,
and
so
we
could,
as
staff
say,
I'm
sorry.
This
contractor
was
the
low
bidder,
but
we
do
not
deem
them
responsible
and
then
we'd
have
to
go
through
that
that
argument
as
to
why
and
so,
but
we
do
keep
track
of
the
complaints
and
if
they
reach
that
level,
we
would
be
able
to
utilize
that,
in
conjunction
with
our
legal
staff,
Jeff
I
don't
know
where
George.
If
that's
fair,
okay.
Z
As
long
as
we're
tracking
it,
I
was
just
thinking
of
several
incidents
that
I
dealt
with
personally
last
year
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
know
I'm
only
dealing
with
the
stuff
in
more
than
one
I'm
getting
those
phone
calls
I
don't
know
if
the
same
contractors
are
having
issues,
in
other
words
as
well.
So
that's
why
I
want
to
know.
If
you
guys
are
tracking,
you
know
our
how
we're
bidding
the
the
contractors
that
we're
accepting
from
the
entire
community.
Z
Y
Appreciate
the
support
from
the
council,
we
realize
that
you
would
be
supportive
if
we
brought
that
to
you.
The
other
facet
that
sometimes
you'll
have
with
contractors
is
timeliness,
and-
and
that
can
happen
as
well
to
where
you
you
just
say
hey.
You
know
you
have
to
complete
X
amount
of
work
by
August,
1st
or
October
1st,
no
event
whatever
it
might
be
a
deadline,
and
so
there
are
signs
where
we
have
to
have
those
serious
conversations.
We
provided
the
data
to
you.
Y
N
You
and
I
actually
I
had
a
similar
question,
so
you
kind
of
asked
and
answer
my
question,
but
I
I
wanted
to
take
a
look
at
it
from
a
different
angle
as
well.
As
you
know,
what
would
you
say
about
the
quality
of
materials
that
I
use
because
I
know
every
year
we
hear
the
same
thing
about
pie,
holes
and
you
know,
and
the
weather
and
all
kinds
of
things
so
I.
You
know
maybe
I
like
for
you
to
kind
of
educate
us
very
quickly
again
on
the
science
of
potholes
and
why
they
happen.
N
Y
Family
that
excites
me,
okay,
so
anyway,
I
get
I,
love
that
so
potholes
potholes
are
just
a
symptom
of
poor
pavement.
Right
I
mean
if,
if
the
payment
was
healthy
in
healthy
condition,
we
would
not
see
potholes.
That's
why
we
always
say
at
a
rating
of
4
and
less
that's
where
you
start
seeing
potholes
and
it
doesn't
guarantee
you
can
have
a
street.
That's
a
three!
That's
absolutely
alligator!
That's
failed
that
it
doesn't
have
the
deep
craters,
but
but
there's
a
lot
of
times.
Those
deep
craters
which
you'll
see
is
that's
a
base.
Y
Failure
when
you
have
a
point,
failure
like
that
that
is,
that
is
just
where
the
base,
the
gravel
or
the
the
dirt
underneath
was
mush
in
it,
and
it
just
can't
sustain
the
heavy
truck
traffic.
So
that
can
happen,
but
a
healthy
pavement
system
that
we
have
and
are
maintaining
it
and
keeping
our
streets
rated
well
and
we're
being
proactive
with
our
pavement
preservation.
We
would
not
be
seeing
the
potholes
that
we
that
we
do
see,
and
so
staff
is
aware
of
that
we
do
try
to
provide
objective
criteria.
You'll
also
notice.
Y
This
year
we
are
expanding
our
pavement
preservation
program.
That's
key!
We
were
actually
stretching
Jeff
Jeff
coal
for
the
accolades
I'm,
giving
him
also
stretching
them,
because,
because
that,
whenever
you
say
$350,000,
that's
a
large
area
that
covers
and
so
we're
trying
to
find
ways
to
allow
him
to
one
person
to
be
able
to
keep
up
with
all
this
work,
because
we're
kind
of
stretching
him
out
but
pavement
preservation
is
another
key
to
keeping
potholes
and
stretching
the
life
of
the
pavement.
Does
that
help.
M
I
guess
my
remarks
tonight:
them
are
going
to
be
tailored
a
little
bit
more
higher
level
for
maybe
some
future
conversations
but
plant
some
seeds
here,
number
one
is
I'm
glad
we've
ended
here
with
the
sidewalk
master
plan
and
5050
program
at
some
point
in
time.
I
think
we
should
take
a
look
at
or
think
about
seriously
if
that
program
is
what
we
want
to
do.
M
Perhaps
we
encourage
more
folks
to
participate
in
that
program,
and
that
comes
in
the
form
of
maybe
we
float
a
loan
or
it's
a
no
interest
type
thing.
You
know
there's
other
C's
that
do
these
sorts
of
type
that
these
programs-
perhaps
this
council,
be
interested
in
looking
at
that
to
help
encourage
more
participation
in
that
program.
So
you
don't
even
respond
to
that.
But
I
know
that
in
the
past
we've
talked
about
that.
There's
been
some
concern
about
how
we
would
administer
that
type
of
a
new
loan
program,
but
just.
A
Just
to
literally
the
day
after
I
was
a
first
elected
the
previous
city
manager
I
talked
to,
but
that
was
one
things
we
talked
about.
He
said
he
didn't
think
that
there
would
be
a
serious
problem
of
administering
that
through
water
bills,
so
I
and
again
I
don't
put
in
words
in
mr.
Rasmussen
Smouse
or
you
know
the
where
we
go
in
a
council
but
and
I
forgot
all
of
what
he
said,
but
that
that
would
certainly
have.
That
would
certainly
be
one
possibility
yeah,
but.
M
I'm,
not
sure,
I
really
have
a
good
answer,
not
sure
that
you
would
have
one
either
because
I
know
we
try
to
always
focus
on
stretching
our
resources
and
that's
one
spigot
of
money
that
we
can
use
for
those
types
of
projects,
but
I,
guess
in
a
philosophical
level,
I'd
love
to
see
a
shift
more
towards
using
our
regular
budgeted
resources
for
those
types
of
projects,
as
opposed
just
whenever
CDBG
money's
available.
That
seems
to
typically
hit
some
of
our
older
historic
areas
more
and
that's
why
the
funding
is
there.
M
But
ultimately,
when
we
talk
about
spending
almost
$400,000
on
a
new
intersection
across
the
community
versus
the
same
amount
of
money
to
fix
a
dilapidated
street,
it
becomes
a
question
of
priorities.
So
you
know
I'll
be
voting
in
support
of
this
and
those
you
and
your
staff
have
done
an
amazing
job
with
all
of
this
and
the
rating
systems
and
the
methodology
that's
gotten
into
all
of
these
decisions.
But
since
we've
got
that
kind
of
taken
care
of
I'm.
M
AB
You
Jim
for
your
presentation.
I,
usually
ask
this
question
every
year
and
I
apologize,
couldn't
ask
you
about
it
ahead
of
time,
but
we
have
I.
Think
one
of
the
slides
showed
about
five
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
in
contract
work
going
out
on
one
end
of
that
continuum.
Then
we
have
the
paper
preservation.
We
also
have
a
pretty
robust,
permanent
patching
program
that
we
do
in-house
and
I'm
just
curious.
AB
What
do
we
know
and
if
you
have
to
get
back
to
me
out,
that's
fine
I'll,
understand
kind
of
what
kind
of
money
we
budget
in
house
for
the
permanent
patching
program
because
it
fills
a
it
fills
a
nice
little
space
there
in
our
pavement
management
program
where
we
can
extend.
Otherwise,
you
know
stretches
of
street
by
just
doing
some,
some
permanent
patching
again
with
some
folks
inside
the
Public
Works
Department.
So
the
point
where
I'm
going
with
that
is,
is
that
we
have
about
five
and
a
half
million
dollars
of
contract
work.
AB
AB
Y
What
I'd
like
to
say
is
a
couple
things
to
you
I
always.
This
is
a
good
visual
for
people
and
residents.
If
you're
driving
on
business,
51
and
you're
headed
northbound,
you
most
people
know
where
that
salt
dome
is
at
that
inverted
cone
our
crews
hand
throw
hot
asphalt.
Half
of
that
amount
that
that
that
dome
will
hold
6,000
tons
of
salt.
If
half
of
that
dome
is
3,000
tons,
that's
how
much
just
to
ride
around
that
amount
is
how
much
our
crews
hand
throw
hot
asphalt
a
year.
Y
That's
staggering,
so
the
the
type
of
work
that
they
do.
That's
another
that
that's
another
amazing
aspect
of
what
our
crews
and
and
folks
will
do.
3.6
million
dollars
is
what
the
council,
on
an
annual
basis,
a
lots
towards
street
maintenance
that
includes
more
than
just
from
the
pothole
program
that
does
incorporate
a
lot
of
our
our
concrete
panel
work,
because
it's
not
just
and
just
as
you
said,
alderman
sage,
it
isn't
just
our
permanent
pothole
patching
program.
We
have
concrete
panel
work
that
we
also
do
extensively.
We
even
do
some
other.
Y
You
know
sidewalk
work
or
other.
You
know.
Other
types
of
curb
when
we,
when,
whenever
we
hit
it,
but
it's
one
of
those
things
to
where
our
crews
really
do,
try
to
do
the
best
they
can
to
keep
up
with
a
lot
of
the
work.
So
what
you
see
up
here
is
a
portion
of
the
maintenance
work,
but
we
also
have
our
own
crews
that
also
keep
up
as
well.
AB
G
A
L
We
talked
about
Tricia
stiller,
leading
some
stakeholder
conversations
about
how
we
might
be
the
most
creative
that
we
could
be
with
that
block.
So
I'm
wondering
in
terms
of
I,
don't
want
to
derail
what
you
presented
to
us
here
but
I'm
wondering
if,
as
we
think
about
how
we
staged
this,
that
we
allow
Tricia
and
her
group
to
begin
to
lead
those
conversations
so
that
we're
not
getting
ahead
of
what
she
could
be
doing
with
the
downtown
division.
Maybe
making
some
other
suggestions
and
I
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
what
others
think
about
that.
L
Y
Are
taking
right
now
the
council
direction
from
last
week?
That
said,
you
know
we
are
to
resurface.
Jefferson
again,
you
know
at
some
point.
We
have
to
either
pull
the
trigger
or
not
do
it.
So
you
know
we
do
not.
Have
you
know
again
from
a
staff
perspective?
All
that's
fine.
We
can.
We
can
take
that,
but
there
does
come
that
go
no-go
step,
and
so
you
know
that's
important
to
note
as
well.
L
C
I
help
answer
that
question:
I
know
what
we're
what
we're
talking
about.
Maybe
what
we
could
do
is
allow
us
a
little
bit
of
flexibility
to
have
those
conversations
by
putting
a
Jefferson
Street
at
the
end
of
the
the
summer,
instead
of
at
the
beginning
and
see
if
we
have
some
of
that
discussion
and
find
out,
maybe
there's
something
else
we
might
want
to
do
Jim.
Can
we
so
organize
it
or
so
we
put
it
at
the
end
right
in
the
beginning,
we.
Y
A
A
A
This
was
approved
unanimously
by
the
Liquor
Commission
and
I
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
go
forward
for
here
from
here,
and
let's
also
be
clear
at
this
point,
madam
clerk,
we
are
really.
We
do
not
have
an
application
okay,
so
this
is
a
hypothetical
application
on
this
side.
At
this
point,
it's
still
a
vacant
lot
with
nobody
asking
for
any
okay.
Thank
you.
I
knew
that
the
answer
to
that
question
last
week,
I
just
wanted
to
be
sure
that
that
was
still
the
case.
Mr
Boyle,
we'll
turn
it
to
you
all.
AC
Right
Thank,
You,
mayor
I,
know
we're
getting
into
our
three,
so
I
will
try
to
be
brief
and
available
for
questions
that
mr.
karge
is
a
very
tough
act
to
follow.
But
I'll
do
my
best
section
5
of
the
city
of
Bloomington
liquor
code
currently
provides
the
no
license
shall
be
issued
for
the
retail
sale
of
alcohol
at
a
tavern
package,
liquor
store
or
other
business
at
which
the
sale
of
liquor
is
the
primary
business.
AC
AC
For
the
property
line
measurement-
and
that
is,
if
it's
to
a
church,
it's
from
the
property
on
the
proposed
establishment
to
the
part
of
the
church.
That's
used
for
education
or
worship,
say
worship,
services
with
respect
to
the
daycare
provision,
it's
similar
to
ordinances
in
normal,
which
also
has
a
location
restriction,
not
exactly
the
same
but
similar
Peoria
and
Springfield
and
other
places
that
said
I'm
available
for
questions
and.
A
There
was
some
concern
about
the
design
and
perhaps
traffic
as
if
I
think
that's
a
fair
statement,
because
I,
don't
remember
and
I
said
this
in
the
Liquor
Commission
any
time
in
five
years,
where
you
had
some
five
year
old,
coming
out
with
a
12-pack
of
Bud
that
wasn't
really
the
issue
it
was.
It
was
the
nature
of
clientele
that
might
be
attracted
to
a
particular
site
and
perhaps
the
traffic
flow
adjacent
to
certain
types
of
establishments.
I.
Think
that's!
If
that's
a
fair
statement,
mr
Boyle,
is
that?
Because
you
were
there.
K
This
has
brought
several
things
to
a
head,
but
as
far
as
video
gaming
goes,
I
know
that
the
council
has
discussed
that
Oh
two
years
ago
last
year
and
finally,
we've
decided
to
do
something
about
it
and
as
far
as
liquor
sales
next
to
daycares,
we
had
incorrectly
thought
that
the
state
had
a
provision
that
prohibited
that.
But
that's
not
the
case,
so
we
looked
into
what
normal
had
done
and
what
other
communities
nearby
had
done
and
we
sort
of
modeled
it
after
that.
K
It
would
just
be
taking
from
one
piece
of
the
pie
and
adding
it
to
another,
and
it
would
actually
decrease
the
value
of
a
lot
of
the
homes
that
are
in
this
residential
area.
So
we
would
be
losing
tax
money
from
that
aspect
and
then
you
know
somebody
said
well.
You
know
there
are
other
things
that
could
go
there,
such
as
tattoo
parlors
and
adult
type
things,
and
actually
our
current
ordinances
do
address
most
of
those
issues
and
for
the
ones
that
haven't
been
addressed.
K
There
is
the
spot
down
the
road
that
I
think
would
be
very,
very
agreeable
to
having
circle-k
come
there.
I,
don't
know
if
it's
still
for
sale,
but
it
was
at
least
a
year
ago,
and
it
already
has
the
infrastructure
there.
It
is
the
old
GE
plant
and
it's
not
in
a
floodplain.
It
is
away
from
school
and
children
and
they
could
have
everything
they
wanted.
There
is
if
the
person
was
agreeable
to
selling
it
that
owns
it.
K
Currently,
you
know
the
only
thing
that
they
couldn't
have
is
gaming
and
we're
just
holding
off
on
that.
Seeing
yes,
we
want
to
stop
the
rapid
proliferation
of
gaming
parlors
in
Bloomington,
because
we
won
an
award
for
having
so
many
of
them
and
that's
not
an
award
we
want
to
have.
But
you
know
if
some
of
them
drop
off,
then
perhaps
we
could
revisit
this
issue
at
a
later
date,
but
you
know
I
just
want
to
make
it
very
clear
to
circle-k
that
we
do
not
want
to
discourage
you.
K
A
J
First
I
have
a
question
about
liquor
licenses
or
the
process
for
granting
new
liquor
licenses.
So
can
the
Liquor,
Commission
and
ultimately
City
Council,
take
into
account
the
nature
of
the
neighborhood
and
the
surrounding
community
when
determining
whether
or
not
to
give
a
light
liquor
license
to
a
new
establishment,
yeah.
AC
J
AC
It
has
not,
and
I
would
have
to
review.
You
know
the
things
that
the
Planning
Commission
can
do
are
dealt
with
in
chapter
44,
article
13
in
the
Bloomington
City,
Code
and
they're
enumerated,
and
there
may
be
a
general
catch-all
that
would
apply
here.
But
I.
Don't
know
for
sure
that
this
type
of
ordinance
would
do
that.
J
And
I
would
I
would
be
curious
on
whether
or
not
it
could
and
I
think
it
would
be
inclined
to
support
a
motion
if
Alderman
Hammond
wanted
to
make
one
referring
it
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
because
it
does
have
an
impact
on
land
use
and
I'm
curious
about
what
their
input
would
be.
So,
but
with
the
bigger
picture
and
this
particular
proposal,
that's
before
the
ordinance
change,
I
I,
don't
have
the
information
yet
to
know
if
I
am
for
or
against
it
and
and
here's
the
reason
why
number
one.
J
This
is
a
very
broad
change
to
the
ordinance
as
it
currently
stands,
and
it's
my
understanding,
based
on
our
previous
conversation
with
mr.
Boyle,
that
it
would
include
things
like
grocery
stores
that
have
liquor
licenses
for
packets,
sale
and
packaged
alcohol,
which
is
pretty
common,
I.
Think
I,
can't
think
of
a
single
Russia
store.
I
know
that
doesn't
do
that.
J
The
other
thing
that
concerns
me
a
little
bit
is
we
don't
really
have
I
would
like
to
see
more
from
which
we
can
make
a
decision,
so
the
packet
and
the
information
we
have
is
basically
just
the
proposed,
or
we
also
have
a
Liquor
Commission
meeting
where
there
were
two
people
who
testified.
We
don't
have
any
data
about
whether
or
not
this
is
a
problem.
You
know
what,
if
the
problem
we're
trying
to
solve,
is
this
the
best
way
to
solve
it?
J
Is
there
a
concern
here
so
I'm
not
four
against
it,
but
in
the
in
the
in
the
absence
of
that
information,
and
perhaps
if
it
went
to
the
Planning
Commission,
we
can
get
that
information
and
they
could
have
eight
us
there.
I
was
inclined
not
to
vote
for
approval
tonight,
just
because
I'm
concerned
about
the
breadth
of
it
and
potential
unforeseen
complications
with
passing
something
so
broad.
Just.
A
Rifai
because
they,
the
the
response
to
mr.
Boyles
question,
means
that
the
council
or
the
Liquor
Commission,
because
the
council
has
created
a
liquor
license.
The
Liquor
Commission
cannot
refer
it
to
the
council,
but
one
of
the
variables
we
can
take
into
consideration
is
its
impact
on
the
neighborhood
already,
without
changing
the
ordinance
and
the
in
its
immediate
surroundings.
That.
A
If
we
were
to,
if
the
Liquor
Commission
were
to
say
no,
you
wouldn't
see
it
again.
This
is
all
hypothetical
because
we
don't
have
one
or
if
then,
even
if
the
Liquor
Commission
said,
yes,
the
council
can
say
no
under
a
curtain
or
is
that
the
point
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
response.
I
think
that
was
a
critical
response
just
so
that
everybody
understands
what
we're
talking
about
here.
Okay,
just.
AA
AB
Several
comments
here,
first
of
all,
mayor
I,
wanted
to
say:
I
appreciated
the
deliberation
of
the
Liquor
Commission.
Did
you
hit
you
had
a
public
hearing,
you
took
public
testimony
and
I
think
the
Liquor
Commission
made
the
correct
choice
made.
It
made
the
correct
decision
in
saying
that
that
we're
going
to
you
know
we're
in
favor
of
supporting
this.
AB
That's
you
know
that
this
propulsion
night
I
mean
to
me.
That's
that's
reasonable.
Secondly,
again
I,
don't
know
that
I
see
it
necessarily
as
some
broad
sweeping
change
I
mean
we
already
have
schools
in
there
and
and
I.
Don't
know
that
I
see
a
lot
of
difference
between
a
daycare
center
and
a
school
in
and
so
I
mean
in
a
minute.
AB
Obviously,
I'm
gonna
support
the
motion
here
in
a
minute
because
I
offered
a
second
for
it,
but
but
again
I
think
that
that
those
two
and
plus
the
fact
that
you
know
having
don't
talk
a
lot
about
this
but
I
mean
I
serve
on
the
Planning
Commission
for
seven
years
we
never
heard
of
liquor
license.
You
know
proposal
come
to
the
Planning
Commission.
That
was
the
that
was
the
purview
of
the
Liquor,
Commission
and
and
so
again
appreciate.
The
you
know
appreciate
the
process
that
we
followed
here,
because
it
seems
appropriate.
Z
So
you
know
the
old
adage
is
you
can
get
anything
passed
if
it's
for
the
children
or
fighting
terrorism
I'm
inclined
to
want
to
support
this,
but
I
feel,
like
others,
information,
I,
don't
know
to,
and
specifically
talking
about
the
Planning
Commission
I.
Don't
think
that
I'm
we're
talking
about
the
actual
liquor
license
itself,
but
we're
talking
about
land
land
use,
because
what
I'm
concerned
about
is
you
know?
Existing
grocery
stores
are
perfectly
fine,
but
we
know
that
we've
got
a
huge
food
desert
which
encompasses
the
majority
of
the
entire
Westside.
Z
If
we've
heard
them
weigh
in
on
it.
You
know
what
this
might
look
like
to
I'm
inclined
to
want
to
support
it,
but
I
I'm
I
want
to
be
careful
of
unintended
consequences
of
actions
that
we
might
take
today.
You
know
that
one
intersection
I
can
see
exactly.
You
know
where
we
have
this
long-established
daycare
center.
That's
right
there,
where
maybe
it
doesn't
fit
that
particular
intersection,
but
I'm
I'm
more
concerned
about
the
long-range
problems
we
might
cause
into
the
food
desert
on
the
southwest
side
of
town.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you,
I
did
notice.
I
was
trying
to
notice
roughly
the
order
in
which
people
asked
to
speak,
so
I'm
gonna
go
all
the
woman,
howlman
bray
and
then
sage
and
painter.
D
AD
You
George
for
information
so
following
up
on
ultimate
Mattie's
question
in
regards
to
whether
or
not
this
ordinance
would
preclude
the
kind
of
project
that
he's
outlined
and
from
from
happening
in
the
future.
It
isn't
there
a
process
for
variants
and
granting
variances
that
could
either
is
already
in
place
that
would
apply,
or
that
could
be
written
into
this
well.
AC
AC
The
state
statute
has
numerous
exceptions
built
into
it.
I'm
not
sure
I
would
advise
that
way
of
going
about
it,
but
the
legislature
hasn't
asked
me
as
far
as
don't
hold
your
breath,
George
yeah,
but
the
point
is
the
variance
way
would
not
work
because
that
pertains
to
zoning
kinds
of
determinations,
not
liquor
like
I,
say
it's
possible
to
say
that
something
could
be
tweaked
down
the
road.
AA
AA
AA
AC
AD
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
one
other
question
you
made
mention
that
there
are
other
communities
that
have
that
they're
very
similar,
very,
very
similar
ordinance
and
that
you
know
it
talks
about
schools,
daycare,
centers
and
I.
Think
you
made
mention
of
churches
as
well,
and
our
proposal
doesn't
include
churches.
Was
there
particularly
churches.
AD
D
You
yeah
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
when
I
asked
about
it
going
back
to
the
Planning
Commission.
It
wasn't
this
particular
item
going
to
the
proposed
gas
station
at
this
corner
going
to
the
Planning
Commission,
but
the
idea
of
an
ordinance
prohibiting
that
and
while
I
understand,
I'm
sorry
that
I
don't
know
what
that
land
currently
generates
in
property
taxes,
but
it's
it
would
need
to
be
I'm
sure
we
would
be
getting
more
in
property
taxes
from
that
property.
A
AB
Certainly
all
the
ones
that
we
have
here,
and
even
one
that
we
didn't
have
here
in
terms
of
looking
at
some
new
grocery
store
opportunities
in
south
and
south
way.
Bloomington
IN
and
I
will
tell
you
that,
given
the
the
economic
climate
that
that
we've
been
in
the
last
couple
of
years,
they
they
have
all
said
very
clearly
that
that
they're
not
interested
in
expanding
you
know
into
into
those
areas,
and
we've
looked
at
I-
think
some
very
realistic
locations
in
south
and
southwest
Bloomington,
particularly
in
south
Bloomington.
AB
But
but
I
will
tell
you
that
those
conversations
were.
They
were
very
clear
when
they
said
that
they
are
they're
not
looking
to
expand
into
those
areas,
because
they
just
don't
see
that
that
the
traffic
counts
and
so
forth
in
those
areas
to
generate
those
those
types
of
of
new
business.
So
I
just
share
that
with
us
context
just
because
you,
you
I,
think
you
were
asking
a
question
in
good
faith.
You
know
and
I
think
you're
just
sharing
some
that
information
back
with
you
Thanks.
A
K
N
N
N
J
We
into
what
I
wanted
to
clarify
so
and
George.
Please
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
this
this
proposal
does
two
things
number
one
there's
the
existing
ordinance,
which
deals
with
two
classifications
of
liquor
licenses,
which
are
the
tavern
liquor
licenses
or
those
facilities
that
serve
alcohol,
on-site
for
consumption
on
site
and
and
if
all
we
were
doing
was
with
amending
the
current
ordinance
to
add
daycares
I
would
support
that.
My
concern
is
the
ordinance
does
a
second
thing.
J
That
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
but
when
we
start
bringing
in
these
other
ones,
I'm
just
a
little
concerned
about
whether
or
not
we
fully
know
what
we're
getting
into
and
if
we're
being
too
restrictive-
and
we
just
heard
how
difficult
it
is
to
recruit
grocery
stores
to
some
neighborhoods,
would
we
make
that
even
more
difficult
and
and
is
it
necessary
to
solve
whatever
problem
we're
trying
to
solve?
And
if
that
problem
is
very
specific
to
a
location
or
a
single
proposal.
J
AC
A
K
K
A
Alright,
do
we
have
a
motion
to
extend
I
think
we
have
two
comments,
but
we
we
have
gone
so
far
over
what
we
said
we
were
going
to
do.
Can
I
have
a
motion
to
extend
this
for
five
more
minutes,
a
move
move
by
alderman
black
second
by
all
the
woman
Schmidt
and
if
you'll
go
ahead
and
vote-
and
this
is
purely
just
to
extend
our
conversation
with
five
more
minutes,
because
we've
really
gone
way
beyond.
Okay
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
M
But
that's
okay,
because
in
that
time
you
know
what,
when
this
first
came
up,
I
get
the
idea
you
want
to
have
neighborhoods,
decide
kind
of
what
what
their
future
looks
like
and
I
was
reminded
of
a
neighborhood
meeting.
We
had
a
couple
years
ago
regarding
some
license.
Holder
changes
some
grandfathering
and
it
was
a
very
impassioned
meeting
about
what
what
the
neighbors
wanted
their
their
community
to
look
like
and
I
suspect
the
same
as
going
on
for
ver
Johnny
right
now,
I
get
I.
Guess
it
at
a
higher
level.
M
I
feel
like
we're,
making
this
decision
a
little
bit
of
a
vacuum
in
a
way
that
I'm
not
used
to
seeing
from
staff
yeah
I
guess
in
my
mind.
In
the
past
I've
seen
these
types
of
changes
come
back
with
like
maps
with
with
areas
of
where
schools
our
churches
are,
and
this
is
the
areas
that
would
be
impacted.
M
Z
M
M
A
A
I
Though
there
was
on
there
for
action
and
direction
that
night
we
had
given
notice
staff
had
given
notice
to
a
lot
of
the
residents
that
we
were
not
going
to
take
final
action
until
this
meeting
on
the
23rd.
So
we
thought
we
would
use
this
as
an
opportunity
to
actually
put
in
writing
exactly
the
process
that
we
would
follow
and
to
provide
a
formal
resolution
to
the
council
to
consider
on
that.
So
this
essentially
follows
the
action
that
you
took
at
the
meeting.
I
Within
the
council
memo,
what
exactly
our
process
would
be,
assuming
that
the
resolution
is
approved
tonight,
the
legal
department
and
water
department
will
conduct
a
final
review
of
any
non-compliant
docks
and
begin
preparing
the
necessary
notices.
We
would
first
send
compliance
notices,
compliance
orders
to
the
docks
that
are
not
non-conforming
again.
These
are
docks
that
do
not
have
a
permit
at
Lake
Bloomington.
They
will
then
have
30
days
to
remove
the
docks.
If
they
do
not,
we
will
then
issue
the
summons
and
the
violation
notice
we
that.
I
I
Typical
housing
cases
or
behavioral
behavioral
cases,
so
on
August
29th
we'd
be
looking
at
having
the
Administrative
Court
to
begin
the
process
of
hearing
some
of
these
cases,
as
was
discussed
at
the
last
meeting
as
our
compliance
would
be
our
ultimate
goal
here.
So
as
long
as
anybody,
that's
not
conforming
removes
their
dock.
AA
AA
I
I
M
AA
AA
AA
So
I
see
if
bob
has
a
different
response
than
what
I
would
have,
but
it's
my
understanding.
We
did
get
complaints
on
these
non-compliant.
Docs
I
think
that's!
You
know
part
of
part
of
this,
so
you
know
I
know
that
that
the
city
has
received
complaints
and
I
would
ask
him
to
kind
of
address
that
a
little
further
yeah.
AE
The
piece
actually
started
before
I
became
the
water
director
based
on
some
complaints,
discussion
with
the
interim
city
manager
at
the
time
and
other
water
department
staff.
We
considered
continue
to
receive
some
complaints
throughout
the
process
throughout
the
process.
Others
have
said:
well,
why
are
you
focused
on
mine?
Go
look
over
there,
so
we
look
comprehensively
and
created
a
much
larger
list
based
on
several
conversations,
complaints
that
started
the
process.
Okay,
if.
C
I
could
add
one
more
thing
to
that,
and
that
is
sometimes
we
are
complaint
driven.
But
when
the
city
staff
is
aware
that
there's
a
violation,
then
whether
there
is
been
a
complaint
or
not
the
city
count.
The
city
staff
is
obligated
to
follow
through
to
take
the
action
necessary
to
enforce
the
ordinance
that
makes.
L
To
clarify
Jeff
what
I,
what
I
heard
you
say
about
this
process?
There
are
obviously
individuals
who
feel
that
they
have
the
correct
documentation
that
would
back
their
claims
for
their
docks.
This
is
their
opportunity,
one
by
one,
to
make
their
case
and
and
to
be
heard
by
a
third
third
party,
not
by
city
staff,
but
by
by.
I
L
L
I
AA
AA
So
once
we
get
through
and
them
those
those
compliance
orders
might
not
even
be
sent
until
you
know
next
month
at
some
point
so
we'll
you
know,
take
a
final
review
of
everything
that
we
think
is
either
compliant
or
not
compliant
get
those
compliance
orders
out,
fines
aren't
accruing.
Yet
if,
at
the
end
of
that
30-day
period,
somebody.
I
Z
My
I
hear
what
you're
saying
Jeff
my
my
concern
with.
That
is
that
we
have
people
who
feel
like
that
they
have
permit
to
the
dock
to
have
a
dock
on
the
lake,
but
they
could
have
60
to
90
days
worth
of
fines
accruing
before
they
even
get
their
chance
to
go
to
administrative
court
to
present
their
case.
Z
AA
City
would
not
be
looking
to
collect
six
or
nine
thousand
dollars
in
something
like
that.
We've
got
the
ability
to
to
lower
the
fines
to
a
more
reasonable
amount,
but
on
the
flipside,
if
there's
no,
you
know
potential
for
fines.
You're
not
gonna,
get
necessarily.
You
know
just
like
in
any
other
code
compliance
issue.
If
the
fines
out
there
you're
not
going
to
get
somebody
to
comply.
So
at
some
point
there's
got
to
be
a
number
that
might
be
associated
with
your
refusal
to
remove.
I
AA
AA
I
A
AB
So
Jeff
I
I
know
that
Jamie's
just
made
this
motion
here
but
again,
I
think
you
asked
a
question
a
little
while
ago.
What
intent
unintended
consequences
might
be
of
that
change,
and
so
Jeff
is.
Is
there
anything
that
that
you
can
see
that
that
might
impact
the
process
that
we
previously
have
laid
out
here?
If
Jamie's
amendment
is,
is
supported?
The.
AB
AB
I
A
A
A
C
You
very
much
Jim.
Would
you
put
up
that
first
slide
for
me,
please.
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
I.
Just
had
two
things
to
talk
about.
One
I
would
like
again
to
list
all
of
the
upcoming
items
that
we
have
in
downtown.
I
have
these
coming
to
the
next
month,
and
what
we'll
do
is
each
council
meeting?
We
will
take
off
the
two
weeks
that
are
just
passed
and
add
the
next
two
weeks
on
and
I
will
give
those
out
in
my
weekly
update
as
well,
and
the
second
thing
is
on
the
first
of
May.
Y
Is
just
background.
This
is
only
so
that
you
know
next
Tuesday.
As
a
reminder,
we
have
done
all
of
this
effort
as
a
communication
strategy
to
update
our
citizens
on
what
we're
doing
for
our
spring
collection,
so
on.
All
of
our
citizens
can
actually
go
to
our
website.
Full
credit
to
our
I
asked
Department
they're,
allowing
us
to
utilize
that
same
thing
that
we
do
for
snow.
Y
The
snow
sections
we're
doing
that
same
thing
with
bulk,
so
that
people
can
go
out
and
they
can
see
where
we
haven't
been
where
we
actively
are
and
where
we're.
Where
we
have
completed.
That
means
said
all
citizens
need
to
have
their
bulk
out
by
6:00
a.m.
that
May
first,
because
we
are
planning
on
having
a
no
holds
bar
all
of
our
crews,
we're
throwing
five
different
crews
at
it
with
many
trucks.
Six
different
and
rear
packers
we're
putting
a
full
effort
to
try
to
collect
now
we're
giving
a
grace
period.
Y
So
we
can
try
to
encourage
this
change
of
behavior.
This
is
really
gonna
be
hard
for
a
lot
of
folks.
So
what
we're
doing
is
we're
actually
having
stickers
and
door
hangers.
So
that
our
brush
collection
is
continuing,
nothing
changes
with
our
brush
as
drivers
go
around
and
they
see
oh
somebody
put
out
a
couch
and
they
they
didn't
call
do
they
call
it
in
no
slap
a
sticker
on
it,
put
something
on
the
door,
letting
people
know
practice
has
changed.
We're
not
touching
it
give
you
two
weeks.
Y
You
know
up
until
the
next
time
we
come
around
with
our
brush.
You
can
take
it
off
the
curb,
bring
it
to
our
citizen
convenience
center
and
which
is
our
drop-off
I
love,
that's
a
great
name.
It
is
we'll,
have
a
will,
have
a
ribbing
ribbon,
cutting
whether
you
want
to
come
or
not,
because
I'm
really
happy
with
it
we're
wrapping
we're
we're
wrapping
it
we're
making
it
look
really
pretty
so
and
we're
so
all
of
that
all
come
on.
That's
good
stuff
right
there.
So.
Y
L
Y
All
are
dealing
with
the
same
thing
on
Wednesday
we're
going
to
be
recording
myself,
michael
brown,
facebook
lives
kind
of
that
interactive
video
to
really
blast
out
there.
We're
we're
doing
everything
we
can.
It
was
on
WABC
this
morning
talking
with
Scott,
Laughlin
and
Kevin,
so
we're
trying
to
to
get
that
out
as
much
as
possible.
I
know
the
pantograph
will
be
covering
it
sure.
Glt
are
there
every
every
major
outlet
I'm
sure
will
be
covering
this.
But
again,
that's
why
we
have
this
all
right.
V
Y
At
one
of
the
other,
the
other
thing
that
we
don't
have
up
there
is
we're
actually
even
utilizing
our
message.
Boards
by
this
week
we're
putting
gonna
put
out
our
message
boards
out
on
major
routes.
I
mean
we
will
do
everything
we
can
do
with
its
couple
s
alderman
black,
juggling
on
the
corner.
If
we
could,
whatever
it
takes
to
get
attention
to
where
we
will
do,
that'd
be
great.
So
so
we
are
making
every
effort.
Ok,
ultimen,.
A
Z
Z
She
probably
has
already
communicated
to
this
to
you,
but
she
wants
to
make
sure
that
whatever
data
that
we're
collecting
is
looks
the
same
as
county
or
town
a
normal
data,
so
that
we
have
apples
to
apples
when
we're
looking
at
things
as
a
total
community,
that's
it
I,
just
I
I
thought
of
it.
Ten
seconds
ago,
I
thought
it
throw
it.
Z
D
AD
Thank
you,
mayor
I,
just
wanted
to
thank
everyone
for
the
opportunity
to
represent
our
city
of
Bloomington
on
the
revision
trip
last
Monday
April
16th.
It
was
part
of
a
delegation
from
our
community
and
visited
the
Rivia
n--
business
center
there
in
Plymouth,
Michigan
outside
of
Detroit
I,
think
that
our
delegation
represented
the
community.
Well,
we
had
very
strong
interactions
with
the
Rivia
noop.
AD
They
had
a
well
executed
program
for
us
that
day
they
were
very
prepared
to
shared
a
lot
of
information
with
us,
very
impressive
operation
and
and
very
impressive
people
associated
with
Vivian
and
I,
look
forward
to
sharing
some
more
specific
and
detailed
information
with
the
city
in
some
closed
sessions
that
would
comport
with
the
non-disclosure
agreement
that
I
find.
So
again,
thank
you
for
that
opportunity.
It
was
just
a
fascinating
day.
