B
We
do,
we
actually
have,
let's
see
eight
nine
people
registered
and
we
received
no
public
comment
via
email.
So
if
we
could
begin
with
ann
miller,.
B
A
Okay,
usually
it's
me
making
the
mistake,
so
it's
nice
right
exactly!
Thank
you.
Public
comment
is
an
opportunity
for
speakers
to
provide
their
views
and
feedback
to
the
city
council.
A
A
Speakers
must
identify
themselves
for
the
record
but
are
not
required
to
give
their
address.
Each
speaker
is
given
the
floor
for
three
minutes,
and
the
council
does
not
respond
or
engage
in
debate.
Any
speaker
that
engages
in
threatening
or
disorderly
behavior
will
be
deemed
out
of
order
and
their
time
ceased.
Thank
you.

We
are
looking
for
short-term
financial
compensation
now
and
a
long-term
solution
in
the
next
year
to
get
the
cso
in
front
of
our
homes
fixed.
I'm
grateful
to
be
here
to
speak
to
you
tonight.
We
do
not
compare
ourselves
to
true
disaster
victims,
we
are
alive
and
we
are
safe.
We
know
what
is
truly
important.
C
C
C
C
We
have
been
cleaning
our
home
for
over
three
weeks
now
and
there
is
not
a
finish
line
in
sight.
Rebuilding
is
another
story
altogether.
Financial
losses
continue
rising
for
each
of
us.
That's
a
given
we're
concerned
about
our
home
values,
but
there
is
no
value
can
place
on
peace
of
mind
and
the
comfort
of
home
on
the
love
of
our
community
and
our
neighbors.
C
C
D
We
have
a
couple
of
new
advocates
in
the
city
council
with
the
city
departments
that
we
met
on
saturday
at
the
mclean
county
meetings,
alex
rosas
tremendous
help
and
just
recently
tony
brown
who's.
The
administrator
of
the
overhead
street
grant
program
which
I'm
encouraging
everybody
to
look
into,
because
tony's,
a
really
stand-up
guy
and
the
I.t
department
of
the
city
of
bloomington
did
get
their
act
together.
E
Good
evening,
mayor
and
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
bob
sampson
and
I
live
at
403
grant
road
in
the
east
gate,
neighborhood,
just
east
of
mercer
between
washington
and
oakland
streets.
Our
home
was
flooded
twice
during
the
storms
of
june
25th
and
26th
with
storm
and
sewer
water.
Due
to
the
combined
sewers
that
crisscross
our
area
today,
the
city
engineering
department
provided
me
with
a
map
of
the
area
indicating
both
combined
sewer
lines
and
separate
sanitary
lines.
E
If
you
look
at
this
map-
and
I
apologize-
I
left
it
at
home,
but
I'm
sure
you
have
access
to
them.
If
you
look
at
this
map,
you
will
see
that
a
good
portion
of
eastgate
is
marked
by
red
lines,
indicating
combined
sewers
in
most
cases,
the
few
green
lines
separate
sanitary
sewers
sooner
or
later
dump
into
a
cso
line.
This
is
the
time
bomb
that
went
off
on
june,
25th
and
june
26th.
E
E
F
F
F
We
don't
have
a
finished
basement
and
you
can
see
why
I
called
the
water
department.
Every
time
we
had
a
four
inch
rain.
Their
story
was
that
when
it
rained
that
much
that
quickly,
the
sewage
treatment
plant
couldn't
keep
up
with
the
rain
water
and
the
surge,
and
when
I
first
started
calling
52
years
ago,
there
was
no
runoff
field
for
rain
water.
Everything
went
into
the
sewage
treatment
plant.
F
F
One
year
as
I
was
complaining
to
the
water
manager,
they
came
and
installed
a
pump
that
was
to
pump
the
water
up
to
the
ground
level.
It
did
not
help
they
put
a
big
hole
in
my
basement
floor
and
it
would
pump,
but
the
water
would
come
right
out
from
underneath
the
pump
that
metal
ring
that
the
pump
sits
on
so
all
these
years
since
the
pump
was
installed,
I
hear
long,
bang,
bang
and
it
was
emptying
when
there
was
no
rain.
G
G
G
Since
then
I
have
been
a
victim
of
the
city
co-mingling
sewer
with
the
rain
runoff
in
the
eastgate
in
2013.
When
we
moved
in
on
multiple
occasions,
my
street
was
so
flooded.
I
could
not
get
my
car
in,
and
out
of
people
would
have
to
come.
Pick
me
up
on
opposite
sides
of
the
street,
because
my
whole
front
was
filled
with
a
lake
all
the
way
up
to
my
knees
and
again
it
like
echoes
the
others.
This
was
not
just
one
time
we
would
get
seepage
in
our
basement
water.
G
G
We
decided
to
clear
out
our
savings
and
we
invent
vested
twenty
thousand
dollars
into
a
new
check
valve
and
a
complete
dewatering
system
which
has
helped.
But
again
this
was
twenty
thousand
dollars,
which
was
over
half
my
salary.
As
a
teacher,
our
since
we've
done
the
dewatering
system,
it
has
helped
nights
of
the
four
inches
rain.
We
stray
dry,
which
is
great,
but
on
june
25th
it
was
too
much
water,
the
streets
flooded,
so
bad.
I
was
afraid
it
was
going
to
come
up
to
the
front
part
of
my
house.
G
My
basement
was
dry,
but
it
was
coming
all
the
way
up
to
the
front
yard
and
getting
kind
of
scary
that
it
was
going
to
come
into
our
living
area.
A
truck
got
stuck
in
the
lake
that
I'm
talking
about
in
my
front
yard,
and
my
the
person
inside
was
asking
my
husband
to
help
try
to
clear
the
water.
He
cleared
it
with
a
rake
over
the
sewage.
G
It's
been
almost
a
month
later,
we
do
have
heard
no
acceptable
offers
to
resolve
this
issue
from
the
city
of
bloomington.
We
need
a
solution
to
get
to
the
answer
of
this
problem.
This
past
weekend
I
went
on
vacation
and
I
had
to
call
my
neighbor
several
times,
because
I
was
anxious
and
nervous
that
my
basement
was
going
to
flood
again.
Luckily,
my
neighbors
had
a
key
to
my
home
and
was
able
to
check
on
it
and
give
me
peace
of
mind,
but
I
am
still
super
nervous
for
my
future
and
need
this
figured
out.
B
H
Hello,
my
name
is
connie.
Bosnos.
Excuse
me,
I
came
unprepared
tonight,
so
thank
you,
council,
members
and
mayor
for
having
me
here
speak
today.
I
too
am
a
resident
of
eastgate
and
a
newer
member.
I
have
not
even
been
in
my
home
a
year,
so
some
of
these
stories
are
a
little
bit
scary
to
hear,
but
this
has
been
happening
for
50
years
in
some
cases.
H
So
as
as
you
all
know,
with
the
floods
on
june
25th
and
26th,
our
fully
furnished
basement
flooded
water
up
through
the
drain,
the
toilet,
the
shower
drain
as
well
as
a
previous
speaker
mentioned.
We
just
got
our
water
remediation
bill
and
it
is
going
to
cost
fifteen
thousand
dollars
to
pay
for
the
water
restoration
which,
again,
as
a
teacher,
is,
is
a
lot
a
big
portion
of
my
salary.
H
The
claims
adjuster
for
our
insurance
said
our
assessed.
Damage
was
about
twenty
seven
thousand
dollars
worth
of
damage,
so
you
put
those
two
together
and
that's
a
pretty
hefty
number.
H
So
I'm
here
just
to
speak
to
my
damage
and
to
hopefully
ask
the
city
to
take
care
of
this
problem
of
separating
out
the
the
lines
so
that
this
no
longer
occurs.
I
feel
bad
that
this
has
been
happening
to
these
people
for
so
long.
Hopefully
this
is
a
one-time
occurrence
for
myself,
but
that
is
in
your
hand,
so
I
will
let
someone
else
take
the
rest
of
my
time.
Thank
you.
I
Like
everybody
else,
I've
had
plenty
of
damages,
but
tonight
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
hope
that
the
members
of
this
council
have
spent
some
time
this
past
week,
considering
our
situation-
and
I
realize
it's
not
just
eastgate-
there
are
a
lot
of
problems
throughout
the
city
of
bloomington
and
they
all
need
to
be
taken.
Care
of
this
should
be
a
high
priority
for
the
council.
I
believe
I
realize
that
you
have
lots
of
issues
in
the
city
of
bloomington
to
address
and
to
take
care
of,
but
this
is
a
human
issue.
I
I
J
J
J
I
won't
talk
about
the
memories
that
doesn't
mean
anything
to
you
all,
but
it
does
to
me
when
I
retired
from
teaching
and
moved
back
to
bloomington.
I
picked
the
eastgate
neighborhood
because
it
was
so
beautiful
because
I
wanted
to
be
basically
on
one
floor,
so
I
could
not
deal
with
steps
for
the
last
three
weeks.
I
have
been
up
and
down
those
steps
more
than
I
have
in
the
last
seven
years,
photos
were
lost,
cabinets
were
lost,
I'm
an
art
teacher.
My
artwork
is
gone.
J
J
Starting
monday,
I
called
and
talked
to
them
because
they're
going
to
come
and
take
off
my
sheetrock,
my
baseboards
and
things
like
that
they
will
put
them
up
at
the
curb,
but
city
pickup
has
stopped
picking
up
bulk
I've
gotten
two
loads
out,
but
obviously
there's
more
that's
going
to
come
in
our
neighborhoods
as
recycle
as
people
are
refurbishing.
J
At
this
point
I
have
a
real
question
in
my
mind
as
to
whether
to
put
sheetrock
back
in
my
basement,
three-quarters
of
it
was
full
my
husband
trades
on
the
market.
His
computers
were
down
there.
Fortunately,
they
were
high
enough.
Unfortunately,
it
tripped
the
ground
fault
on
the
sump
pump
and
I
flooded
anyway.
J
K
K
K
We
get
to
maybe
hear
you
kick
around
some
ideas
and
some
thoughts
and
my
understanding
is
that
you're
going
to
hear
a
report
out
on
kind
of
the
city's
response
to
the
storm,
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
take
time
and
address
these
concerns.
You've
heard
from
your
residents
in
eastgate,
we
really
appreciate
hearing
your
position
on
what
we
are
talking
about.
K
Again,
I
encourage
you
to
use
your
time
today.
Please
carve
out
some
of
it
to
talk
about
what
you've
heard
from
the
residents
in
our
neighborhood
what
we
can
expect
from
you
as
a
council
moving
forward
to
possibly
accelerate
the
timeline
to
separate
the
sewers
in
eastgate
and
those
communities
of
critical
need.
Thank
you.
A
So
that
concludes
our
portion
of
public
comment.
Next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
consent
agenda
and
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda
as
presented.
A
To
approve
the
constitution
by
council
member
bowling,
okay,
second,
by
council
member
money.
Madam
kirk,
could
you
please
call
the
roll.
A
K
M
N
A
Okay,
thank
you.
The
item
passes
are
no
need
to
announce
next
item
in
the
agenda.
Is
our
regular
agenda
item
5a
presentation,
discussion
of
topics
related
to
the
recent
storm
events,
as
requested
by
the
public
works
department
and
the
administration,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
city
manager,
gleason.
O
This
was
going
to
be
our
first
opportunity
sure
this
last
week
that
this
would
be
a
presentation,
not
the
deep
dive
into
some
of
the
topics
that
have
been
raised
tonight
under
public
comment,
going
to
show
a
lot
of
pictures
of
the
recovery
and
the
response
of
city
staff
to
this
and
we've
allotted
public
works
director
kevin
kothe,
15
minutes,
and
then
I
believe
we
have
15
minutes
of
discussion,
but
just
a
reminder.
O
While
we
touch
on
the
storm
response
this
evening,
the
longer
more
in-depth
conversation
and
presentation
is
going
to
be
at
the
committee,
the
whole
meeting
in
august
kevin.
P
P
So
we're
all
aware
of
the
significant
storm
event
that
happened
the
last
weekend
of
june
start
friday,
night
and
then
again
another
big
rain
saturday
afternoon.
So
we
did
see
you
know
a
lot
of
areas
that
flooded
twice
in
bloomington
and
a
lot
of
different
types
of
flooding.
So
we
did
have
people
out
friday
night
in
in
response
to
you
know
the
emergency,
which
was
literally
you
know,
streets
flooded,
cars
stalled,
you
know.
P
As
you
know,
there
was
a
flood
warning,
a
flash
flood
warning
that
night
and
we
truly
did
see
those
things,
and
so
you
know
that
night
was
that
immediate
response
just
to
make
sure
to
keep
people
safe
and
thank
goodness
there
was
no
loss
or
life
or
you
know,
there's
certainly
enough
property
damage
and
enough
damage
to
different
parts
of
the
city.
But
we're
thankful,
no,
no
loss
alive
for
serious
injuries.
P
Saturday
public
works.
We
had
crews
out
trying
to
clean
up
what
we
could
and
you
know
extensive
effort
and
also
an
assessment
of
what
what
we
had
seen
the
night
before
and
and
so
you're
I'm
gonna
share
with
you
a
number
of
photos.
Some
were
taken
by
myself.
Another
engineer
that
has
the
drone
license
to
fly
a
drone.
We
flew
a
drone
and
took
pictures
of
of
things,
so
we
could
understand
the
the
nature
of
the
flooding
across
the
community
because
it
wasn't
just
one
type
of
flooding.
P
It
was
multiple
impacts
to
different
neighborhoods,
and
so
that's
what
I'm
going
to
share
with
you
tonight
this
this
picture.
That's
in
the
background
is
sugar,
creek,
just
east
of
clinton,
and-
and
this
is
saturday
morning
the
water's
gone
down,
but
you
know
you
can
see
where
the
grass
got
matted
down
from
how
high
it
had
been
the
night
before
so
next
slide.
P
This
is
a
series
of
pictures
starting
friday
night
in
the
upper
left
is
e
street,
just
south
of
the
library
and
what
you're,
seeing
there
is
the
public
service
garage
and
in
the
upper
right
corner
of
the
picture.
Is
the
fuel
pumps,
the
fuel
island
that
was
surrounded
by
water,
that
night
water
did
get
in
the
no
lead
tank
and
so
saturday
it
had
to
be
pumped
saturday
afternoon
with
the
big
rain.
Again
it
flooded
again.
P
But
the
public
service
building
had
had
over
a
foot
of
water
inside
the
shop
areas
and
break
rooms
and
so
forth,
and
there
was
a
time
where
the
vehicles
we
had
available
to
us
were
the
ones
that
were
out
we,
you
know,
as
noted,
I
mean
electrical
issues
and
things
can
happen
in
flooded
waters,
so
we
couldn't
get
into
the
building
for
a
little
while
until
the
waters
went
down,
but
we
were
affected
too
and
in
the
upper
right
photo.
You
can
see
a
car.
P
This
is
a
zoomed
in
a
little
bit
more
to
a
car.
That
was
actually
stalled,
and
this
is
looking
looking
south
again
by
the
railroad
tracks
and
you
can
see
the
water
is
as
well
over
the
hood.
So
there
was
several
feet
of
water
across
that
that
whole
corridor
from
the
intersection
of
gridley
and
oakland
affected
home
sweet
home
mission.
We
all
know
that
so
so
in
this
area
you
see
the
combination.
Sewers
here
were
full,
but
we
also
had
surface
flooding.
P
So
we
had
people
in
a
whole
corridor
through
the
core
of
bloomington
that
had
both.
You
know
significant
backup
through
the
combination
sewers
in
excess
of
five
six,
even
seven
feet
and
the
surface
flooding
both.
So
you
know
showing
you
all
these
pictures,
so
you
get
a
sense
of
the
you
know,
impacts
community-wide
the
lower
left
is
a
picture
out
by
market
street
and
peggy
lane.
There
was
an
area
flooded
still
on
saturday,
a
business
was
impacted
back
there
and
then
the
lower
right
is
a
camera
during
the
storm.
P
This
is
clinton
and
clinton
and
washington
and
you
can
see
cars.
You
know
managing
to
get
through
the
intersection,
but
you
know
significant
flooding
in
the
intersection
which
you
know
our
intersections.
The
roads
tend
to
be
built
lower
so
that
they
take
the
runoff.
P
So
if
you
picture
you
know
your
homes
and
your
private
property
are
up
higher
the
rain
that
hits
the
roof
of
those
homes
has
to
go
somewhere
and
it's
it's
designed
to
head
out
and
and
head
to
the
streets
and
the
alleyways
and
and
the
swales,
the
drainage,
swales
and
those
lower
spots
are
going
to
take
more
water
than
they
can
handle
during
big
events-
and
you
know
that
was
the
case
here
and
and
people
need
to
recognize
most
of
the
time
intersections
aren't
flooded.
P
But
when
they
are,
you
know
we
encourage
people
to
to.
You
know
turn
around,
don't
drown,
type
of
thing,
because
you
don't
know
how
deep
it
is,
and
you
also
don't
know
the
impacts
that
the
water
may
have
caused
to
the
pavement
and
we'll
we'll
get
to
some
of
that
here
in
a
couple
more
slides.
So
next
slide,
please
this
the
upper
left
lake
bloomington
spillway.
P
It
was
well
over
the
spillway
on
saturday
and
we
get
to
a
certain
point.
We
have
to
start
monitoring
the
the
dam
every
four
hours
to
make
sure
there's
no
compromises
to
the
dam.
Well,
there's
an
emergency
action
plan
and-
and
we
monitor
it,
just
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
anything
that
would
impact
properties
downstream
upper
right,
clearwater
near
hershey.
Once
again,
this
is
a
low
spot.
P
P
But
once
again
you
know
encourage
people,
don't
don't
drive
through
these
things
when
you
don't
know
how
deep
it
is,
because
you
can
stall
your
car
lower,
left,
janet
drive
at
gina,
that's
over
by
sapphire
lake
and
and
the
detention
basins,
and
that
east
side
of
bloomington
were
working
hard
over
time,
both
friday
night
into
saturday
and
the
the
storm
saturday
afternoon.
This
is
later
in
the
evening.
This
is
probably
about
six
o'clock
and
it
kind
of
looked
like
a
big
lake
back
there,
but
the
detention
basins
worked,
they
helped
prevent
flooding
downstream.
P
The
lower
right
is
ge
at
airport.
That's
the
eagle
creek
basin.
So
if
you
picture
you
know
sapphire
lake
drains
to
the
west,
this
is
you
know,
there's
two
eagle
creek
basins
and
you
can
see
the
basin
was
pretty
full.
It
wasn't
going
over
the
top,
but
it
was
pretty
full
and
it
had
a
lot
of
property
owners
worried
out
there
because
they
had
seen
water
levels
higher
and
in
their
backyards
than
they'd
ever
seen
before.
So
next
slide.
P
This
is
out
the
east
side
of
bloomington
towards
the
grove.
This
is
saturday
morning.
This
is
well
after
the
storm
event,
but
before
the
afternoon
rains-
and
this
is
a
the
bridge
on
2100
east-
and
you
see
the
water's
still
almost
up
to
the
bottom
of
the
bridge.
At
this
point,
as
many
of
you
know,
the
storms
friday
night
tended
to
be
a
little
bit
heavier
towards
the
south
of
bloomington
hayworth
and
that
area
getting
heavy
flooding
and
then
it
kind
of
ran
on
an
angle
towards
ellsworth.
P
So
this
part
of
the
the
kickapoo
creek
drains
from
further
east,
and
so
we
were
seeing
a
lot
of
water
coming
coming
at
the
grove.
The
lower
right
is
another
picture
along
2100
east
that
shows
the
debris
line
from
the
corn
stubble
that
washed
across
the
road
that
that
whole
area
was
under
water.
The
bridge
was
under
water
during
the
night
and
then
the
grove
subdivision
the
flood
plain.
We
all
know
the
stream
restoration
out.
P
There
is
also
not
only
helping
with
water
quality
but
helping
to
be
a
detention
base,
and
you
can
see
still
on
saturday
morning.
It
was
really
full,
and
there
to
the
right
of
that
photo
was
a
trail
that
normally
you
can
walk
on,
but
you
know
was
under
water
at
the
time,
so
next
slide
impacts
to
public
property,
to
private
property
as
well.
The
upper
left
is
an
area
by
jackson
and
woodland,
not
not
real,
far
away
from
the
eastgate
area.
P
Just
large
lots
have
been
this
way
for
years,
there's
a
lower
area
in
those
backyards,
and
you
can
see
the
dead
grass.
I
mean
it.
It
held
water
just
like
many
of
the
farm
fields
have
in
the
country,
where
there's
lots
of
crop
damage
and
so
forth,
with
beans
that
were
lost
this.
This
holds
water
back
there
and
it
either
soaks
in
or
evaporates.
P
But
when
the
ground
is
this
saturated
from
this
much
rain
that
we
had
before
you
know
the
ground
can
be
like
a
sponge
to
absorb,
but
once
that
sponge
is
full,
it
can't
take
any
more
water.
It
just
oozes
out
the
cider,
you
know
just
runs
off
the
top
and
that's
what
what
you
see
with
the
ground,
it
couldn't
absorb
any
more
water.
At
the
point
of
the
storms,
and
so
it
pondered
back
there
damage
to
public
infrastructure.
P
The
upper
right
is
washington
street.
We
had
a
washout
there
by
the
inlet
we
had
somewhere
better
than
30,
cave-ins
and
sinkholes.
That
resulted
from
this
heavy
heavy
rain
that
we
had
another
example
that,
in
the
lower
left,
is
gridly
near
oakland.
That
picture
is
looking
to
the
north
along
gridley,
we're
just
east
of
home
sweet
home
mission.
You
know
the
sewers
might
have
had
a
hole
in
them.
P
You
know
at
some
point
and
we're
taking
in
some
dirt,
but
when
you
have
this
much
water
come
at
this
fast,
it
shows
any
weaknesses
in
the
system
and
just
can
compromise
it
very
quickly,
so
we'll
be
dealing
with
the
the
aftermath
of
getting
all
these
fixed
for
for
a
number
of
weeks,
if
not
months,
and
we
have
been
fixing
the
most
serious
ones
initially.
P
As
far
as
the
impacts
of
traffic
washington
street
was
one
that
we
addressed
right
away,
because
that
one
was
near
the
norfolk
southern
line
and
the
railroad
reported
it
to
us
because
they
were
worried
about
compromising
their
track
and
their
crossing,
because
it
was
so
close.
P
So
we
were
able
to
partner
with
the
railroad
and
get
get
that
fixed,
but
they
also,
while
we
had
the
road
close
fix,
their
railroad
crossing,
which
they
were
planning
to
do
routine
maintenance
to
it
and
they
just
accelerated
it
a
few
weeks
so
that
that
could
all
be
done
under
the
same
closing
lower
right.
The
the
pony
league
fields
on
ireland,
grove
out
by
tawanda
barnes
impacts
to
private
property.
You
can
see
it.
P
P
Some
other
pictures
of
of
sugar
creek
near
illinois,
wesleyan
upper
left
is
a
drone
shot
over
by
fell
bridge
and
the
right
is
clinton
bridge
near
sugar.
Creek
there
and
and
both
bridges
in
the
last
20
years
have
been
replaced.
They
were,
they
used
to
be
arch
bridges
and
the
arch
bridges
don't
allow
water
to
pass
as
efficiently.
P
So
years
ago,
there
used
to
be
more
flooding
in
these
areas,
but
the
newer,
more
modern
bridge
allows
the
water
to
pass
better
and-
and
so
one
of
the
things
we
were
doing
with
the
drone
was
getting
idea
of
how
high
did
the
water
get
along
the
creek
in
different
places,
because
you
know,
if,
if
you
have
you
know
a
hundred
year,
500
year,
rain
or
thousand
year
rain,
whatever
you
want
to
classify
it
is
the
the
floods.
Are
you
know?
P
Fema
flood
zones
are
100
and
500,
but
that
doesn't
necessarily
correlate
exactly
to
a
rain
event,
because
a
rain
event
is
not
a
flood
event.
If
you
think
about
a
town
like
peoria,
that
is
a
river
city,
you
know
they
can
get
a
flood,
that's
a
hundred
year
flood,
but
they
didn't
necessarily
have
a
hundred
year
reign
there.
So
they
don't
necessarily
correlate
one
for
one,
but
we
wanted
to
get
a
sense
of
what
did
this
storm
do
as
far
as
the
different
impacts
across
bloomington?
P
How
far
did
it
get
out
of
the
the
banks
of
the
creek
and
that
type
of
thing,
and
for
the
most
part,
sugar
creek
stayed
within
its
banks?
There's
a
few
places
where
we
know
it
exceeded,
but
you
know
when,
when
you
have
the
aftermath
of
these
events,
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
do
is
get
that
quick
assessment
to
see.
You
know
what
this
is
a
time
to
get
data
and
so
we're
getting
data,
but
we're
also
trying
to
do
triage
by
helping
get
roads
open
again
help.
P
You
know
what
we
could
with
the
different
situations
throughout
bloomington
and-
and
just
you
know,
get
that
quick
assessment.
While
we
still
had
the
opportunity
to
collect
the
data
next
slide,
please.
P
So
this
is
a
map
that
shows
with
those
triangles
the
claims
that
were
submitted
to
our
pma
adjusters
as
of
last
week.
This
is
not
as
of
today
but
as
of
last
week
and
and
what
this
shows
you
is
that
across
the
community
we
had
a
claim
submitted,
but
but
the
you
know,
vast
majority
of
the
claims
are
in
that
area
inside
veterans
parkway
inside
the
interstate,
because
you
can
just
see
the
density
there,
and
you
know
you
have
a
group
of
claims
over
by
eastgate.
P
You
have
paths
of
claims
that
are
closer
to
the
center
of
town.
You
know
south
hill,
a
bunch
of
older
neighborhoods
that
are
all
combined
sewers
and,
and
so
just
it
gives
you
a
sense
of
the
impacts,
the
community
and
and
even
though
it's
more
dense
there.
P
You
can
see
that
whether
you
know
it's
to
the
northeast
or
the
southwest,
with
fox
creek
impacts
in
different
places,
whether
it
be
you
know
too
much
water
coming
too
fast
came
in
through
the
you
know,
window
wells
or
the
egress
windows,
or
in
some
cases
even
basement
walls
collapsed.
We
know
of
at
least
at
least
10
claims
with
basement
walls
that
have
collapsed
in
the
community
and,
of
course,
once
again,
that's
just
so
much
water
in
the
ground.
P
P
This
is
the
pma
claims
overlaid
on
top
of
a
sewer
map,
and
so
the
the
the
colors
there
for
the
sewer
map
show
in
in
green
the
sanitary
lines.
Those
are
just
dedicated
sanitary
lines,
light
blue
is
the
storm
lines
and
the
purple
that
you
see
kind
of
in
the
core
of
bloomington.
P
Those
are
the
combination
sewers
and
we
still
have
you
know
roughly
85
miles
of
combination
sewers
in
bloomington.
So
it's
not
just
east
gate.
It's
not
just
downtown.
It's
a
large,
a
large
area
of
bloomington
is
still
served
by
combination
sewers
next
slide.
Please
this
lets.
You
see
the
sewer
layer
a
little
bit
better,
the
the
ones
that
kind
of
look
like
yellow
in
there
there's
also
sump
pump
drain
lines.
P
The
newer
parts
of
bloomington
tend
to
have
sump
pump
drain
lines,
which
gives
a
place
for
people
to
connect
their
sump
pumps,
to
which
also
can
help,
because
we
know
that
in
some
of
the
older
parts
of
bloomington
particular
sump
pumps
might
be
tied
into
the
sewer
system
and
that
just
aggravates
the
problem.
Not
only
is
it
against
city
code
and
against
national
standards,
but
it
can
actually
cause
more
issues
when
they're
tied
in
like
that.
So
next
slide
please.
P
So
this
was
just
a
real
quick
overview
tonight
of
some
of
the
things
that
we've
seen
and
you
know
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
of
you
know
the
different
types
of
whether
it
be
you
know,
basement
backups
from
you
know,
combined
sewers,
whether
it
be
sump
pump,
failures,
groundwater
coming
in
surface
flooding,
we've
seen
all
those
different
combinations
of
things,
and
so
we're
collecting
the
data.
P
Pma,
there's
still
claims
being
turned
into
them.
We've
worked
with.
You
know:
mclean
county
emergency
management,
we've
partnered
with
them
to
try
to
provide
them
data
so
that
when
they
did
their
survey
they
know
where
what
neighborhoods
to
go
to
to
talk
we're
going
to
get
data
back
from
them
at
some
point
and
try
to
map
that
we've
been
tracking
calls
that
have
come
into
public
works
that
came
into
dispatch.
P
We
didn't
show
all
that
to
you
tonight
we're
going
to
do
an
analysis
and
do
a
deeper
dive
in
august
to
show
you
in
more
detail
as
we
analyze
these
things
all
the
different
impacts,
because
there's
no
one
quick
answer
for
all
this
stuff.
The
the
you
know,
quick
answer
for
the
combined
sewers
would
be
the
overhead
sewer
program,
as
was
mentioned
tonight,
and
that-
and
that
is
a
program-
that's
administered
through
economic
and
community
development
and
it's
available
to
people.
P
But
you
know
there's
a
lot
more
with
this
whole
topic
that
we
could
go
into
and
just
wanted
to
give
you
that
overview,
that
you
know,
there's
a
I've
given
you
a
little
bit
of
education
night,
but
not
not
very
much
just
a
little
bit,
but
we
want
to
get
into
some
of
the
more
details
and
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
june.
Storm
event.
P
You
know
the
sanitary
system,
the
storm
water
infrastructure,
what
we
can
do
to
help
residents
that
short-term
the
long-term
picture
review
city
codes,
because
there's
some
things
that
was
with
city
codes,
that
you
know
some
adjustments
might
help
and
so
a
lot
of
different
things
to
consider,
and
certainly
any
other
items
that
you
might
might
have
for
us
to
look
into,
but
we're
in
the
midst
of
collecting
and
analyzing
data.
We
just
haven't
got
all
the
data
collected.
Yet
where
we
can
analyze
it
get
you
all
the
answers
yet.
P
A
Thank
you
very
much
kevin
that
was
very
informative.
Do
we
have
any
questions?
It
looks
like
I'm
sure.
Yes,
okay,
go
ahead,
council,
member
ward.
Q
Thank
you
that
was
the
most
helpful
part
of
that
I
found
was
to
be
able
to
see
the
map.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
that
to
especially
to
see
the
map
with
all
that
purple,
which
is
very
distressing
because
there's
a
lot
of
purple,
and
I
am
curious
if
you
could
give
us
just
a
little
bit
of
background
on
how
the
priority
was,
how
how
areas
have
been
prioritized
for
attention,
because
I'm
hearing
the
concern
that
that
some
areas
are
not
happening
until
2029
for
some
kind
of
remediation.
Q
O
P
P
But
the
the
locus
colton
cso
study
was
done
like
in
2007
time
frame
and
and
came
up
with
recommendations
on
how
to
get
rid
of
a
combined
sewer,
overflow
and
the
city
took
the
recommendation
to
go
ahead
and
separate
the
sewers,
because
that
not
only
benefits
the
environment
from
eliminating
combined
sewer
overflow,
but
also
benefits
the
residents
in
the
long
term,
because
the
sewers
are
separate.
Now,
just
like
the
you
know.
P
Most,
the
side
is
where
you
you
minimize
impacts
from
you
know,
basement
backups
through
floor
grains
and
that
type
of
thing,
so
that
that
report
lined
out
the
process
to
go
through,
because
you
have
to
start
at
one
end
and
work
your
way
to
the
other
to
to
be
able
to
have
sewers
to
receive
the
flow
as
you
separate.
So
that's
all
lined
out
in
that
that
report
about
how
to
proceed
through
that.
P
Most
and
we'll
go
into
that
deeper
dive
with
the
csos
there
was.
The
city
had
a
lot
of
csos
at
one
time
and
there's
only
basically
locus
colton
and
maysfield
are
the
two
csos
that
are
left
and
we
have
a
permit
from
the
iepa
to
operate
those
csos,
but
the
one
at
locust
overflows
more
than
four
times
a
year,
and
so
they
said
you
can't
do
that
anymore.
You're
gonna
have
to
get
rid
of
it.
So
there
was
the
pressure
from
the
epa
to
get
rid
of
the
locust
cso.
P
Well,
like
I
say,
we'll
go
into
the
deeper
dive,
but
in
essence
what
it
is
is
a
spot
where
the
combined
sewer
can
overflow
into
a
body
of
water
like
like
sugar
creek,
so
it's
a
spot
where
it
gets
so
full
overflows
into
the
creek.
So
you
know,
everybody's
you
know
recognizes
that
the
basements
get
the
back
up
right.
P
P
P
And
recognize
too,
that
most
communities
of
our
size
and
age
have
combined
sewers
and
and
certain
communities
end
up.
You
know
getting
in
trouble
with
the
epa
and
have
a
consent
decree
where
they're
ordered
to
spend
so
much
to
eliminate
the
csos,
not
the
combined
sewers
but
the
csos.
And
so
those
can
be
different
approaches.
You
can,
you
can
eliminate
the
cso,
but
you
can
still
have
combined
sewers,
which
still
can
cause
a
basement
backup
so
and.
Q
Is
there
any,
is
there
any
possibility
that
eliminating
a
cso
in
one
neighborhood
then
or
a
cs
in
one
neighborhood
then
has
an
impact
on
somebody
downhill?
Q
So
when
you,
when
you
eliminate
one,
do
you
potentially
cause
more
problems
elsewhere,
I'm
struck
by
the
difference
in
the
the
amount
of
of
water,
that's
in
various
basements
and
so
in
in
some
basements
in
ward
7,
for
example,
on
at
least
three
streets
that
I
can
think
of.
People
were
measuring
the
sewage
and
water
in
feet,
not
inches,
so
not
six
inches
but
six
feet
and
in
their
their
houses
and.
P
Yeah
yeah
and
we'll
get
into
that
more
in
august
because
we're
you
know
collecting
that
data
analyzing.
I
know
you
want
all
the
answers
tonight,
but
it's
suffice.
It's
safe!
For
now.
You
know
water
runs
downhill
right.
So,
as
as
you
follow
the
mississippi
out,
you
know
right.
It
starts
with
the
illinois
and
then
sugar
creek
runs
into
illinois
and
sangam
and
all
that
stuff
and
it
gets
bigger
and
bigger,
as
it
goes
right.
P
So
as
you
head
to
the
west
side
of
bloomington,
the
sewers
are
all
running
downhill
along
with
all
the
water,
so
it
they
get
bigger
and
bigger.
So
those
are
bigger
sewers,
but
as
that
water
gets
more
massive,
you
know
like
along
the
mississippi
and
illinois.
When
you
have
those
big.
You
know
like
the
93
flood
and
stuff
like
that,
you
see,
you
know
the
the
impact
of
all
that
water
hitting
a
spot.
P
It's
kind
of
the
same
way
that
you're,
seeing
on
the
west
side,
where
those
bigger
pipes
are
there's
more
impact
because
all
the
water
is
headed
that
way,
and
so
you
not
only
have
like
I
say,
the
combined
sewer
surcharging,
but
you
actually
have
surface
flooding
where
it's
not
just
an
intersection
that
flooded,
because
all
the
everything
is
draining
to
it.
It's
actually
draining
across
the
city,
because
those
combined
sewers
in
general
followed
the
old
waterways.
You
know
across
the
city
and
so
you're,
seeing
both
happen.
There.
Q
Yeah,
well
I
I
guess
I'm
I'm
distressed
by
that,
because
probably
80
to
90
percent
of
the
people
on
one
of
the
worst
his
streets
in
on
the
west
side.
They
don't
have
any
kind
of
insurance.
So
there's
there's!
No,
you
know
claim
to
be
put
through
to
anybody,
except
for
us
as
as
a
city
and-
and
I
think
we
owe
them
more
than
than
what
we're
we're
doing
and
I'm
not
saying
you
personally,
I'm
not
saying
you
personally,
I'm
saying
that
we
as
a
city
owe
them
better
than
that.
A
Minutes,
okay
sounds
good.
Madame
claire,
could
you
please
call
the
roll.
B
S
B
A
Okay
motion
passes,
went
out
so
again
go
ahead.
Q
So
I
just
want
to
say
that,
though,
the
other
thing
that
I
two
other
broad
areas
that
I
want
to
want
to
ask
about,
have
to
do
with
detention
base
and
possibilities.
Q
So
can
you
make
a
point
of
addressing
those
in
the
august
meeting
if
you
can't
address
that
now,
but
one
in
particular
that
you
and
I
have
already
spoken
about
mr
kothi-
has
to
do
with
the
old
nykor
plant
there
south
of
sheridan.
You
know
I
had
residents
who
literally
had
feet
and
feet
and
feet
of
water
up
to
the
the
door
handles
of
their
their
cars.
You
know
and
and
suvs
along
that
area.
Any
anything
you
can
say
about
detention
basins
on
the
west
side,
in
that
that
regard.
P
Yeah
and
and
we'll
get
into
that
more
at
the
august
meeting.
You
know
that
because,
as
as
you
know,
you
know,
the
older
parts
of
bloomington
don't
have
much
for
detention
basins,
and
so
you
know
having
detention
basins
has
helped,
I
think,
with
the
east
side,
and
then
you
know
with
the
rest
of
sugar
creek,
because
you
know
I
grew
up
in
the
community.
I
I
was
born
and
raised
or
I
went
to
bhs.
P
I
remember
you
know
personally
seeing
the
floods
in
the
70s
and
stuff
and
sugar
creek
well
out
of
its
banks
and
stuff
and
then
in
general,
with
this
storm
we
didn't
see
much
of
sugar
creek
going
out
of
its
banks.
There
was
a
few
places
it
did
and
you
know
we
were
trying
to
check
the
systems
and
you
know
we
saw
a
couple
detention
basins
that
went
over
and
stuff
like
that,
but
in
general,
for
the
most
part,
a
lot
of
things
did
really
well.
P
Q
Yeah
yeah
and
then
what
has
the
experience
been
in
the
city
with
over
the
overhead
sewer
program?
I
know
that
when
you-
and
I
talked
you
said
this
is
a
very
under
utilized
program
and
it
doesn't
surprise
me
given
how
hard
it
is
to
find
information.
When
I
raised
this
with
the
council
with
my
fellow
council
members
a
week
ago,
nobody
seemed
to
have
heard
of
it
and
even
struggled
they
struggled
to
even
find
information
about
it.
So
what
has
been
the
experience
have
have,
how
much
have?
Q
How
frequently
have
people
use
this,
and
is
there
any
concern
about
one
house
doing
the
overhead
sewer
program
and
then
the
house
across
the
street
having
problems?
I'm
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
any
track
record
in
that
regard,
because
the
last
thing
I
want
is
for
one.
You
know
if
I,
if
I
go,
get
the
overhead
sewer
thing
in
place,
I
don't
want
my
next
door
neighbor
or
my
across
the
street
neighbor
now
to
suddenly
have
problems
when
they
didn't
have
it
before.
P
Yeah
and
once
again
we'll
go
into
that
more
in
august
too,
but
in
general,
the
experience
with
the
overhead
sewer
program
for
those
that
have
done
it
has
been
very
positive,
but
there
can
be
impacts
to
other
other
neighbors,
because
you
know
traditionally
the
lowest
house,
the
lowest
basement
is
going
to
get
it
first.
P
As
far
as
the
sewer
backup
right
and
then
you
know,
if
they
do
the
overhead
sewer
now,
the
next
door
neighbor
might
get
it,
and
we
have
seen
that
before
in
neighborhoods,
there'll
become
a
point
where,
if
enough
people
do
it
on
the
block,
then
it
just
it
takes
care
of
it
and
it
doesn't
happen
anymore
as
far
as
getting
other
neighbors
affected.
But
but
it
can.
D
Q
P
The
the
program
offers
you
know
up
to
forty
five
hundred
dollars
per
single
family
residence
of
funding
from
the
city.
So,
if
you
have
forty
thousand
you're
talking,
you
know
basically
nine
under
the
current
funding,
but
certainly
you
know
the
as
the
council
and
his
staff,
we
could
recommend
you
know
perhaps
some
budget
amendments
or
using
some
money
or
whatever
to
fund
that
I'm
sure
the
demand
is
going
to
increase.
Given
the
you
know
like
like,
we
should
showed
you
the
over
500
claims
from
pma
or
2
pma.
P
You
know,
and
a
in
a
good
chunk
of
those
could
be
helped
by
the
overhead
sewer.
I
was
out
with
the
you
know,
group,
on
sunday
out
at
the
junior
high
and
a
lot
of
the
people
that
came
in
on
saturday
and
sunday
to
speak
with
us.
A
lot
of
them
could
benefit
from
the
overhead
sewer
program,
so
I
think
there'll
be
a
lot
more
interest
than
we
have
funding
for
in
this
budget
year.
P
Q
Last
question:
I
know
I'm
dominating
things
here,
but
I'll
I'll
just
throw
this
out
here.
What
is
the
reason
it
takes
so
long
to
deal
with
this?
Is
it
a
question
of
a
lack
of
will
a
lack
of
means?
Does
it
take
a
long
time
to
get
it
physically
finished?
P
Q
P
Multi
multi
parts
that
answer.
Obviously
funding
is
a
big
component.
We
have
to
have
the
funding
in
place
to
be
able
to
do
the
whole
thing.
The
you
know,
design
permitting
and
then
construction
that
can
take.
P
You
know
a
few
few
years
to
get
that
all
going,
but
then,
when
you
get
a
very
large
construction
project,
sometimes
our
local
contractors
may
or
may
not
have
the
wherewithal
to
be
able
to
take
to
do
something
like
that
in
a
year
or
two
and
then
there's
also
a
lot
of
impacts,
the
neighborhood,
when
you
do
it
all
at
once,
you're
you
know,
I'm
sure
some
of
you
have
heard
you
know
like
at
mercer
in
washington,
where
we've
been
working,
there's
been
a
number
of
complaints
about
people
can't
get
to
their
homes
and
stuff
and
have
to
walk
a
block,
and
that
type
of
thing
when
you,
when
you
do
all
that
underground
work,
you
tend
to
be
very
disruptive
to
neighborhoods,
and
so
the
more
you
disrupt
at
one
time,
even
the
further
people
have
to
walk
or
whatever,
and
that
type
of
thing,
so
it
was
laid
out
in
the
study
way
back
when
in
various
phases
that
could
be.
Q
M
Thank
you
and
you
might
have
to
be
patient
with
me
as
well.
You
know
the
the
residents
of
eastgate,
who
have
been
here
two
weeks
in
a
row,
have
expressed
their
concerns
and
their
questions,
and
you
know
I
understand
their
frustration
that
they're
not
getting
their
answers.
You
know
as
as
quickly
as
possible.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
some
questions.
I
really
really
think
alderwoman
ward
asked
some
great
questions,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
get
these
questions
out.
M
So
is
it
possible
that
the
the
that
the
locus
colton
cso
work
could
be
done
at
a
quicker
pace?
Is
it
possible,
assuming
there
was
funding
assuming
you
know
that
you
had
capacity
from
contractors?
Is
it
possible.
P
M
And
is
it
true
that
that
these
the
phases
that
have
been
going
on
for
the
for
the
csos?
M
M
And
then
so,
I'm
going
to
follow
up
on
the
overhead
overhead.
Whatever
you
call
it
lines
sewer
program,
if
is
there
limitations?
Can
anyone
that
has
a
combined
sewer?
M
P
Each
home
is
different
if
you
will
it's
built
and
constructed
and
so
forth.
When
somebody
applies
for
the
program,
tony
brown,
who
has
mentioned
before,
gets
involved
and
there's
a
number
of
assessments
that
are
made
with
a
plumber
to
assess
the
sewer
service,
lateral
that
goes
from
the
house
to
the
street.
The
way
the
plumbing
is
set
up
in
the
house
and
to
try
to
figure
out
a
way
to
make
it
work,
so
it's
not
necessarily
one
size
fits
all
and
exactly
you
know.
P
Well,
and-
and
you
know
there
may
some
other
work
that
has
to
be
done,
like
there's
things
called
whole
house
traps
that
were
used
back
in
the
day
when
you
do
the
overhead
sewer,
you
have
to
take
those
out,
so
there
may
be
some
other
modifications.
So
I
don't
want
to
say
that
just
the
overhead
sewer
by
itself,
but
in
combination
with
whatever
upgrades,
need
to
be
done.
P
P
P
P
The
the
combined
sewers,
the
overwhelming
you
know,
because
because
when
a
sewer
is
surcharged
right,
then
it
backs
up.
You
know
it
was
mentioned
about
you,
know,
cleaning
and
televising.
We
we're
doing
that
a
lot
more
than
we
used
to
ten
years
ago,
with
the
cleaning
and
televising
you're.
All
aware
that
you
know
in
the
last
year
year
and
a
half
ago,
we
did
a
big
cctv
contract.
B
M
P
P
You
know
the
the
idea
there
is
that
having
a
good
flood
route
and
and
that's
something
else
we'll
cover
in
august,
because
some
people
on
the
east
side
have
landscaped
into
the
flood
route
or
put
a
fence
and
it
interferes
with
the
flow
of
water
that
wants
to
get
away
and
we'll
talk
about
that
more
in
august,
but
the
the
combined
sewers
you
know,
like
I
say,
in
the
old
parts
of
bloomington,
where,
especially
to
the
west
side,
we
not
only
saw
the
the
basement
back
up,
but
also
the
surface
flooding
right,
as
as
we
we
saw
in
some
of
the
pictures
tonight,
yeah
and.
P
The
basement
backups
are
the
result
of
the
combined
sewers
getting
overwhelmed.
Now
we
did
have
in
a
few
cases,
sanitary
sewers
that
got
overwhelmed
and
actually
backed
up
in
people's
homes
on
the
east
side
too.
Those
are
those
are
much
rarer
and
usually
there's
something
else
going
on
there,
and
so
we're,
like.
I
said
we're
collecting
data
points
on
all
these
different
things
and
it
takes
time
to
look
and
analyze
each
one,
but
but
certainly
the
combined
sewers.
I
mean
that
that's
something
that's
been
known
for
a
long
time.
P
M
Okay,
I'm
gonna
gather
myself,
maybe
have
a
few
additional
questions
and
pass
it
for
now.
A
Sounds
good,
thank
you.
So
next
we
have
council,
member
carrillo.
R
R
I
guess
you
know
when
I
echo
councilmember
ward's
statement
that
our
residents
do
deserve
answers
and
answers
with
the
level
of
urgency
that
they
are
feeling
as
their
basements
are
covered
in
sewage,
and
so
I
guess
one
question
for
us,
and-
and
I
guess
maybe
for
tim
I
mean
is
the
reason
that
we
have
to
wait
till
august
is
because
there's
just
not
another
meeting.
R
Could
we
have
a
special
meeting
where
we
talk
about
this
sooner
than
august,
or
is
it
a
matter
that
we're
waiting
on
something
to
come
in
that
isn't
going
to
come
in
until
august,
because
it
does
feel
like
a
really
long
time
to
wait
to
to
get
into
some
of
these
things.
O
O
O
So
I
feel
that
that's
my
responsibility
as
city
manager,
so
we
were
asking
for
time
to
one
clean
up,
also
assess
what
the
damages
were.
If
you
want
us
to
move
this
up
to
a
sooner
date,
council
meeting
next
week
or
the
first
council
meeting
in
august,
I'm
fine
with
that.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
provide
the
accurate
information,
tell
the
entire
story
so
that
council's
on
the
firmness
ground
to
make
the
decisions.
That's
before
you.
R
I
appreciate
that
yeah,
and
I
mean
I
certainly
would
be
supportive
of
moving
that
up
to
the
next
council
meeting,
with
the
understanding
that
we're
not
going
to
have
all
the
answers
then,
but
that
something
is
probably
better
than
nothing
and
that
this
should
be
an
ongoing
conversation
and
not
a
you
know,
not
a
one-and-done.
So
certainly
I
would
be
supportive
of
that,
but
you
know
maybe
that's
something
we
can
get
a
temperature
check
from
other
folks
around.
R
I
guess
my
other
question
is
the
overhead
sewer
program
you
know
sounds
like
it
could
be
beneficial
to
some
residents,
but
again
the
funding
is
limited
and
the
number
of
projects
that
can
be
taken
on
is
also
limited.
So
my
question
I
guess
to
mr
kothi-
is
like
yeah.
If
money
was
no
object
right,
like
we'll,
we
can
figure
out
how
we
get
funding
for
this,
but
what
would
be
a
less
individualized
solution?
R
P
That's
a
great
question
and
there's
not
necessarily
one
size
fit
fits
all
answer
to
that,
because
each
neighborhood
and
the
way
it
lays
you
know
with
the
terrain
and
everything
is
slightly
different.
I
I
think
that
we
have
potentially
some
ideas
that
might
might
help
some
of
those
more
severely
impacted
areas,
as
was
you
know,
mentioned
about
the
possibility
of
partnering
with
nycor
in
their
remediation
site.
P
To
you
know,
if
you
have
a
detention
base,
and
then
you
have
a
place
for
the
water
to
go
and
sit
without
flooding,
anybody
that
benefits
not
only
the
the
people
upstream,
but
also
downstream,
because
now
you're
not
sending
too
much
water
too
fast
downstream,
either,
where
things
can't
handle
it.
So
I
I
think
you
know
detention
basins
that
have
been
built
because
detention
basins
are
a
fairly
new
thing
that
that
started
in
the
80s
really
with
the
city,
and
we
can
see
now.
P
You
know
40
years
later,
that
the
detention
bases
have
had
a
tremendous
impact
I
think,
on
on
flooding,
and
we
want
to
tell
that
story
too.
That's
part
of
collecting
all
this
data
and
I
I
think
that
there
may
be
some
other
opportunities
there
and
we're
not
prepared
at
all
to
address
that
tonight,
or
maybe
even
next
week
or
whatever.
But
there's
there's,
certainly
things
that
could
be
considered.
R
R
I
guess
I
will
just
make
some
space
for
other
folks
to
ask
questions,
but
but
thank
you
and
yeah
would
appreciate
it
if
we
could
continue
the
conversation.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Okay,
go
ahead.
T
Thanks
kevin
so
first
I
do
support
the
idea
of
having
more
meetings
or
not
necessarily
more
meetings,
but
an
ongoing
conversation.
I'm
going
to
be
traveling
for
the
next
couple
weeks,
and
I
won't
be
here
but
I'll,
be
watching,
and
I
think
that
people
do
want
more
answers.
T
I
was
going
to
ask
about
the
detention
basins
as
well.
I
know
that
the
the
plan
that
we
have
right
now
for
the
locus
colton
has
a
couple
of
detention
basins
specifically
just
to
the
south
of
the
public
works
garage
is
one
of
the
locations
and
I
think
there
was
another
one
on
the
west
side
near
an
old
nycor
location,
I
think,
is
what
it
called
out
for
those,
and
you
know
I
was
gonna,
ask
the
question
to
put
on
your
list
of
agenda
items.
T
How
fast
can
we
get
those
built
and
well,
I
guess
one,
what
would
be
the
impact
of
building
those
to
hold
that
that
water
before
it
goes
to
the
west
side?
You
know
obviously
home
sweet
home
is
in
ward
one
and
that
entire
area
around
that
the
entire
corridor
down
oakland
avenue
was
a
river
at
at
a
certain
point.
T
T
So
I'd
like
to
see
that
on
the
agenda
as
something
we're
talking
about,
but
the
probably
the
two
most
important
things
that
were
on
your
list
of
things
were
how
much
and
how
soon
right,
I
think
we're
all
one.
We
all
want
that
information.
Without
that
basic
information,
we
can't
make
educated
decisions.
T
I've
never
seen
a
plan
that
addresses
any
sort
of
water
drainage
for
the
west
side.
If
there
is
one
I
would
love
to
see
it.
I've
never
seen
that
happen
at
all.
Yet
so,
if
you
have
that,
please
send
it
to
us,
but
that's
kind
of
where
I'm
at
is.
You
know
I'm
going
to
be
gone.
The
next
couple
weeks
I'll
be
watching
the
videos,
but
how
much,
how
long
and
will
those
detention
basins
that
are
in
the
plan?
Will
they
help
sooner
than
later?
U
So
I
want
to
add
one
thing
to
to
council
member
matthew's
question
how
much
and
how
soon,
but
what
is
the
capacity
for
work
right?
Yeah?
You
mentioned
that
before
so
knowing
how
much
is
possible
is
really
important
and
then
I
wanted
to
add
one
thing,
and
I
think
others
have
said
it
pretty
well,
but
I
want
to
make
it
maybe
more
specific.
U
In
the
absence
of
communication,
that's
the
biggest
frustration
for
people
and
when
we
say
maybe
the
right
answer
is
we
should
wait
till
august
to
have
some
portions
of
these
discussions,
but
when
they
sit
here
and
hear
we'll
wait
till
august,
we'll
wait
to
august
when
you're
dealing
with
something
that
level
of
stress
really
hurts
people.
I
think
we
need
to
find
a
way
to
be
communicating
whatever
little
step
we
do,
whatever
action
is
being
taken
even
on
a
daily
basis.
I
think
catherine
did
a
lot
around
the
bulk
pickup
as
an
example.
U
So
I
think
the
the
improvement
in
the
communication
has
got
to
be
a
step
that
we
take
sooner
just
to
help
people
to
just
see
the
progress
and
to
see
what's
happening.
It's
a
little
easier
to
wait
when
you
know
that
something
is
moving
when
you're
just
sitting
back
and
nothing
is
there.
V
J
V
So
I
I
agree
that
we
need
to
have
this
conversation
earlier.
I've
I've
read
enough
epa
reports
just
to
be
a
little
bit
dangerous.
V
I'm
just
adding
to
the
kind
of
information
that
that
would
be
useful
for
me
is
something
about
long
term
and
short
term,
but
that
midterm
that
council
member
ward
brought
up
earlier
that
there
are
nine
minimal
controls
that
you
can
investigate
in
order
to
keep
this
this
thing
from
happening
and
then
there's
a
long-term
planning
approach,
and
that
this
is
really
systemic,
that
it's
not
just
about
the
sewers.
V
But
it's
there's
so
many
other
levers
that
we
might
be
able
to
push
and
that,
of
course,
ties
into
getting
the
information,
and
I
appreciate
that.
That's
what
you
want
to
do
and
determining
from
that.
You
know
how
we
can.
We
can
think
about
how
soon
how
much
what
the
capacity
is
and
the
immediacy,
certainly
just
just
being
part
of
the
conversation
and
pushing
forward-
is
really
helpful.
V
The
other
thing
I
I
want
to
bring
up
other
than
communication
being
critically
important
around
everything
from
the
the
overhead
program
to
to
just
information
about
the
the
process
of
reviewing
claims
and
how
that's
going
is
the
the
notion
that
we
consider
other
funding
options
for
people
who
have
experienced
such
great
loss
like
is
there?
Is
there
some
grant?
Is
there
some
mechanism
for
folks
to
apply
for
for
some
support
to
support
what
just
happened
and-
and
I
think
that
would
be
really
valuable
for
us
to
consider.
Thank
you.
S
S
And
based
on
the
information
that
was
available
online,
it
looked
like
phase
two
concluded
in
2013,
but
then
phase
three
or
I
may
have
these
two
or
phase
one
was
completed
in
2013,
but
phase
two
didn't
bid
out
until
early
this
year.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,.
P
Yeah
there's
the
the
original.
You
know,
nine
phase
plan
was
slightly
adjusted
in
in
the
original
phase.
One
project
we
added
more
to
it
back
in
that
time
frame.
There
was
stimulus,
money
available
at
25
principle,
forgiveness,
and
so
we
jammed
into
that
phase.
One
project
was
was
more
than
the
original
want
to
include
it.
P
Like
part,
seven,
I
I
can't
tell
specific
thought
my
head
on
that,
but
it
have
more
packed
into
it
than
the
original
phase
one
and
then
you
know
the
funding
approach
that
has
been
used
today
has
been
to
use
the
epa
low
interest
loans,
the
state
revolving
fund.
They
call
it
and
and
that's
a
money
set
aside
to
help
communities
like
us,
deliver
you
know,
improvements
to
sewer
systems
like
to
separate
them
or
even
in
water
systems
and
stuff.
P
Those
are
two
different
pots
of
money,
one
for
portable
water
and
the
other,
for
you
know,
sewage,
and
that
type
of
thing,
so
we've
in
general,
been
you
know,
have
to
put
our
plan
together,
submit
it
to
the
epa
for
permitting,
but
also
submit
it
for
a
loan
authorization
and,
and
that
can
take
you
know
it's
a
process
you
and
there's
only
so
much
money.
Then
we're
told
well,
you
didn't
make
it
this
year.
You
have
to
wait
till
next
year,
type
of
thing.
S
I
mean
I,
I
saw
something
online
that
and
I
don't
want
to
put
a
number
out
there.
That's
not
correct,
because
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
material
out
there
on
this,
but
I
I
saw
a
number
somewhere
that
alluded
to
the
fact
that
around
8
million
would
conclude
the
execution
of
all
of
this
work
on
the
locust
colton
project.
I
don't
know
if
that
sounds
in
the
ballpark
to
you.
P
We
we
just
internally
revamped
some
numbers
and,
like
I
said
that
be
part
of
the
larger
deeper
dive
with
and
we
can
accelerate
that
too.
I
just
I
don't
have
that
from
you
tonight,
so
I
don't
want
to
say
without
you
know,
without
having
the
actual
numbers.
S
So
would
part
of
the
reason
that
these
next
phases
is
drawn
out
over
such
a
long
period
of
time
because
of
your
prior
experience
with
being
funded
to
move
from
phase
one
which
ended
in
2013
to
phase
two
which
started
and
is
going
to
be
executed.
It
sounds
like
by
the
end
of
21.,
so
it
sounds
like
within
that
one
calendar
year
you're
going
to
go
from
bid
to
complete.
P
Right
so
so
part
of
you
know
the
the
sewer
and
the
sanitary
are
enterprise
funds
and
supported
by
revenues
from
principally
the
utility
bills.
P
In
order
to
get
the
low-interest
loans
from
the
epa,
you
have
to
show
that
you
have
sufficient
funds
to
repay
the
loan,
and,
if
you
remember
a
few
years
ago,
we
did
a
you
know
a
rate
increase
for
sewer
and
storm.
It
wasn't
until
that
rate
increase,
that
the
storm
got
healthy
enough
to
actually
be
able
to
support
getting
another
loan
type
of
thing.
So
there's
a
lot
of
things
at
play.
P
S
So
this
is,
though,
a
permitted
use
of
funds
from
the
relief
plan.
Isn't
it
the
combined
sewer
overflow
work
yeah,
so
that
would
be
it
sounds
like
maybe
a
game
changer
for
you
if
you've
been
having
to
depend
upon
piecing
together
various
opportunities
to
borrow
money
over
the
years.
S
You
know,
as
we
think,
about
the
use
of
that
money.
We
can
spend
that
money
or
we
can
invest
that
money
and
the
locus
colton
plan
is
one.
I
believe
that
it
stated
in
the
materials
you
have
to
do
anyway.
It's
just
a
matter
of
when
so
you
know
that
would
seem
to
be
an
opportunity
for
us
to
consider,
as
this
conversation
continues.
L
P
P
You
know
through
the
vhs
ball
field
and
stuff,
you
may
have
remembered
seeing
that
all
tore
up
it's
been
several
years
ago
now
and
then
across
the
country
club
and
that
that
establishes
a
separate
sewer
for
the
sanitary
and
a
separate
sewer
for
the
storm.
From
you
know,
the
source
type
of
thing
is
what
we're
working
on
until
we
get
the
whole
thing
done.
We
can't
fully
complete
the
separation
sure.
D
P
Start
downstream
and
then
work
our
way
upstream.
Okay
and
that's
specific
to
you-
know
that
east
side
area
that
that
drains
towards
locust
colton
there's
plenty
of
other
combined
sewers,
as
you
saw
on
the
map
throughout
the
rest
of
bloomington,
that
don't
drain
that
way,
they
drain
other
directions
and
that
type
of
thing.
L
Okay
and
sort
of
along
the
lines
of
some
of
the
other
comments.
How
much
did
locus
colton
cost.
L
A
A
A
N
Thank
you
mayor,
thank
you,
kevin
for
being
with
us
this
evening
and
for
your
you
know
for
your
patience
and
answers,
and
I
know
it's
a
complicated
problem.
I
appreciate
the
detailed
questions
from
my
colleagues
councilmember
ward
and
krabill,
and
I
guess
I
I
want
to
make
a
comment
thinking
about
the
future.
Two
things
that
have
really
stood
out
for
me
this
evening
was
are:
are
the
long
standing
historical
problems
that
we've
heard
from
the
residents
of
eastgate?
N
This
has
been
going
on
a
long
time,
and
so
much
of
this
seems
to
be
tied
to
funding,
and
so
I
mean
I
guess,
given
the
tremendous
losses
that
the
residents
of
eastgate
have
described
to
us
in
the
last
two
sessions
of
this
council
meeting
and
the
other
areas
that
have
been
experienced,
I
really
want
to
strongly
urge
this
council
to
investigate
committing
resources
from
the
american
recovery.
N
American
resources
act
to
really
accelerate
the
work
in
these
areas
to
accelerate
the
replacement
of
these
outdated
and
inadequate
sewer
systems
for
the
neighborhoods
that
have
been
that
have
been
devastated
by
these
clubs
and
I
think
to
not
do
this
is
simply
unacceptable.
Thank
you.
M
Sure
I
think
you
know
this
meeting
goes
to
show
that
you
know
when
you
show
up,
and
you
make
your
voices
heard.
You
know
whether
it's
city,
council
or
staff
for
city
leadership,
you
know
we
listen,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
you
all
coming
out
twice
now
and
and
so
just
just
a
few
follow-up
questions
on
this.
How,
when
will
we
know
with
regard
to
whether
the
city
will
pay
any
of
the
claims?
M
Do
whether
that's
city
manager,
gleason
or
you
kevin?
Do
we
have
any
idea
of
when
those
decisions
might
start
to
be
made
to
give
some
idea
to
the
people
that
have
made
claims?
I.
O
Actually
shared
that
in
this
last
week's
city
manager
update
to
the
elected,
we
fully
expect
bma
to
start
sending
those
letters
out
this
week
this
week,
okay,.
M
And
and
then
on
that,
since
this
is
a
you
know,
it's
the
city,
self-insured
and
the
pma
is
our
third
party
administrator.
Who
is
making
the
decisions
with
regard
to
what
is
paid
or
not
paid.
O
That's
what
we've
hired
pma
to
make
those
decisions?
Gotcha,
okay,.
M
Would
any
you
know
we
fairly
recently
approved
an
insurance
policy
program
for
this
city?
Would
any
of
the
city's
coverage
apply
to
the
the
flooding
events
that
happened.
M
O
O
We
have
illinois
emergency
management,
that's
been
on
ground
on
the
scene,
doing
the
assessment
and
we
will
apply
for
a
public
assistance
declaration
through
fema
that
denial
or
approval
should
come
at
some
point.
I'm
not
sure
what
the
time
frame
is,
but
let's
say
we
do
not
hit
that
threshold,
which
it's
actually
very
high
for
the
state
of
illinois
in
large
part
because
of
the
population
in
chicago
and
cook
county.
O
M
Thank
you,
city
manager,
gleason.
I
also
just
wanted
to
mention.
There
was
one
person
in
public
comment
saying
that
they
weren't
able
to
get
their
bulk
waste
out
and
and
they're
actually
having
people.
Volunteers
help
them.
So
I
just
want
to.
I
just
hope
that
maybe
at
least
maybe
on
a
one-off
and
when
people
contact
the
city-
and
they
have
still
have
waste
related
to
the
storms-
that
the
city
will
pick
that
up
without
charge.
O
O
My
thunder,
because
that
was
coming
under
my
city
manager,
comments
that
going
to
wrap
up
bulk
ways
tomorrow.
This
special
bulk
waste
run,
and
that's
definitely
council
member
cradle.
That's
what
we're
going
to
do.
Okay,.
M
P
Yeah-
and
you
know
the
big
contract
that
we
awarded
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago
that
televising
that's
televising
and
cleaning,
so
we've
been
out
there
doing
that
and
the
city,
you
know
with
our
vactor
trucks
and
our
camera
trucks.
P
And
you
know,
with
with
the
television
you
can
see,
if
it's
you
know,
got
problems
in
the
sewer,
whether
it's
you
know
grease,
grease,
plugs
or
other
types
of
defects
and
we're
trying
to
get
those
addressed
as
soon
as
we
can,
but
in
in
general,
you
know
those
combined
sewer
areas.
The
backup
was
just
because
of
all
the
all
the
water
all
at
once,
right,
the
ones
that
we've
gone
to
check
out
in
general
haven't
shown
any
any
anything
in
them.
P
As
far
as
being
blockages,
we
do
have
the
30
60
90
program,
which
is
locations
where
we
know
there's
a
recurring
problem
and
we
go
out
and
check
those
every
every
30
and
60
and
90
days
on
a
continuing
basis,
and
once
we
find
that
there's
a
continuing
problem
which
tends
to
be
more
of
a
grease
or
a
root
problem,
as
opposed
to
anything
else,
we
do
a
regular
cleaning
there.
You
know
on
a
regular
basis,
all.
Q
One
question
and
one
comment:
the
question
is
that,
and
you
may
not
have
this
at
your
fingertips,
yet
I
would
love
to
know
how
much
the
city,
how
much
this
flood
is,
has
cost
the
city
already
just.
Q
I
think
we
all
do
and
then
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
the
efforts
to
do
the
bulk
trash
pickup,
particularly
the
overtime
this
weekend,
and
I
I
thank
assistant
city
manager,
billy
tyus,
for
his
role
in
that
as
well.
I
don't
know
who
all
was
involved
in
making
that
decision,
but
thank
you
for
that.
The
extra
work
in
ward
7
anyway.
A
Okay,
don't
go
yet.
A
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
kevin
because
she
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
answering
questions
for
a
presentation
that
was
supposed
to
last
only
15
minutes.
So
we
really
want
to
thank
you
provided
a
lot
of
good
information.
I
I
do
have
a
I.
I
want
to
get
answers
very
quickly
to
folks,
but
at
the
same
time
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
answers
are
accurate
and
that
you
have
enough
time
to
to
prepare.
So
I'm
not
sure
you
know
it
would
help
us
to
go
too
quickly.
A
I
mean
we
might
go
a
little
quicker
than
the
committee
of
the
whole
in
in
august,
but
I
don't
know
that
next
week
you
know
you'll
be
ready.
Do
you
think
you'll
be
ready
to
provide
more
information.
A
A
P
A
P
All
have
asked
you
know
very
good
questions
and,
and
you
can
see,
there's
a
lot
to
it,
even
just
the
short
introduction
I
had
so
you
know.
Maybe
you
know
we'll
we'll
approach
it
in
pieces
or
something
like
that,
but
we'll
work
that
out.
Okay.
A
A
Next
item
on
our
agenda
is
5b
update
on
the
american
rescue
plan
act
and
city
manager,
gleason.
O
O
We
wanted
to
just
simply
update
the
council
and
community
on
where
we
stand
with
the
american
rescue
plan,
the
funds
that
we've
received
to
date
of
the
total
funds
that
we
expect
and
then
what
we
know
up
to
this
point
on
how
we
can
use
those
funds
and
infrastructure
is
definitely
one
of
those
allowable
expense
allowable
expenses,
finance,
director,
scott
rathbun
is
going
to
walk
us
through
what
we
know
to
this
up
to
this
point
and
more
detail
to
come
in
the
future,
but
wanted
to
have
this
conversation
tonight,
scott.
W
Thank
you,
city
manager,
mayor
and
council,
not
to
go
backwards,
but
we
are
tracking.
The
expenses
for
the
storm
special
project
code
has
been
set
up,
we'll
have
to
use
some
assumptions
related
to
overtime,
landfill
fees.
You
know
that
kind
of
thing,
but
you
know
we'll
do
our
best
to
to
ascertain
what
the
cost
of
that
event
is
for
the
city.
So
starting
off
with
that,
as
the
city
manager
mentioned
you
know,
tonight
we
haven't
received
a
lot
of
new
information.
W
The
treasury
was
accepting
feedback
on
the
guidance
that
issued
up
until
july
16th,
so
it's
still
kind
of
a
moving
target
target
as
to
the
what
the
final
form
of
the
guidance
will
be
but
they've,
given
a
really.
You
know
pretty
good
general
framework
for
the
for
the
available
use
of
funds.
So
we'll
go
over
recap
of
what
the
plan
is
tonight,
where
we
are
what
we've
received,
what
we
know
about
the
further
guidance
and
and
kind
of
leave
it
at
that.
W
That's
that's
kind
of
like
the
technical
approach
that
we'll
take
to
the
american
rescue
plan
and
what
we
know
right
now.
Next
slide,
please!
So
what
is
the
american
rescue
plan?
It's
a
it's!
A
1.9
trillion
dollar
covert
relief
package
that
was
approved
on
march
11th,
there's
350
billion
dollars
that
was
set
aside
for
local
governments.
W
A
significant
amount
of
money
is
to
be
received
by
the
city.
I'll
show
you
that
in
a
second
it's
about
13.4
million
dollars,
but
it's
really,
you
know
to
support
the
economy,
support
relief
for
people
that
were
impacted.
What
is
this
stimulus
package
done
so
far?
I
don't
have
it
up
on
the
slide,
but
the
gross
domestic
product,
the
growth
rate
for
the
first
quarter
of
the
year,
was
approximately
six
point.
Four
percent.
So
you
know
that
averages
maybe
more
around
two
percent.
W
There
was
actually
a
reduction
in
the
growth
rate
in
the
rate
last
year,
during
covid
they're,
expecting
the
forecast
they're
expecting
a
nine
percent
growth
rate
during
q2
we're
seeing
here
at
the
city,
you
know,
revenues
reflective
of
that
stimulus
package.
So
it's
really
have
a
positive
impact
and
these
american
rescue
dollars
that
we
we're
getting
in
the
city
will
have
a
very
direct
impact
for
the
city,
just
an
additional
fyi,
our
unemployment
rate.
As
of
may
was
4.2,
the
high
last
year
was
12.9,
so
we're
seeing
a
good
rebound
there.
W
W
This
is
the
the
dollar
amounts
that
I
was.
I
was
mentioning
previously
same
dollar
figures
that
I
reported
on
in
may,
a
total
of
13.4
million
dollars
has
been
allocated
to
the
city
as
soon
as
the
portal
was
open
at
the
treasury
we
put
in
our
application,
and
we
received
our
our
first
tranche
they're,
referring
to
it
on
may
19
2021
for
almost
6.7
million
dollars.
We
should
receive
the
second
6.7
million
dollars
in
approximately
12
months.
W
That's
what
the
guidance
is
saying
now
they
may
change
that,
but
that's
the
expectation
at
this
point
in
time
and
and
then
you
can
see
the
bottom
line
of
the
slide.
We
have
a
lot
of
time
to
figure
out
what
we
want
to
utilize
those
dollars,
for
they
must
be
obligated
by
2024,
so
a
contract
in
place,
encumbered,
as
we
say
in
the
finance
department,
with
those
dollars
actually
spent
by
2026.,
so
very
material
dollars.
We're
looking
at
have
a
very
material
transformational
impact
to
the
city.
W
If
you
will,
depending
on
how
they're
utilized
next
slide,
please.
This
is
the
same
slide
that
we
reviewed
in
in
the
prior
community
of
the
whole.
Just
example:
uses
of
funds
there's
four
to
six
categories,
typically
and
most
of
the
information
they
put
out.
You
see
four,
but
this
one
shows
a
couple
of
additional
ones.
I
just
the
first
category.
Upper
left
corner
is
really
just
to
reimburse
communities
for
expenses.
They
have
related
to
mitigating
covid,
to
the
right,
addressing
negative
economic
impacts,
so
this
could
be
considered.
W
Relief
to
residents
and
businesses
could
take
many
different
forms
at
the
bottom
left
corner,
replacing
public
sector
revenue
laws.
This
is
probably
the
most
versatile
category
related
to
how
we
can
use
the
funds.
There
has
been
more
guidances.
That's
come
out
related
to
this
and
I'll
go
over
that
in
a
moment,
those
dollars
must
be
used
for
the
provision
of
government
services,
but
that's
a
very
broad
and
general
guideline
that
the
treasury
is
issued.
W
Our
advisors,
our
auditors,
you
know
basically
keeping
it
between
the
the
guard
rails-
was
a
term
that
was
utilized
for
that,
so
very
versatile,
lineup
or
a
category
that
we
can
utilize
the
funds
for
and
then
premium
pay
for
essential
workers,
so
essentially
for
the
front
line
people
you
know
that
risked
their
lives,
whether
or
not
you
wanted
to.
We
wanted
to
go
back
and
look
at
giving
them
premium.
Pay
next
slide.
Please
and
here's
a
subject
that
we
were
just
that
was
discussed
previously.
So
a
very
specific
category
is
water
and
sewer
infrastructure.
W
We
have
broadband,
the
equity
focused
services,
sort
of
leveling
the
playing
field
for
economically
challenged
areas
of
the
city.
We
utilize
it
for
that,
and
one
thing
I
did
I'm
going
quickly.
I
know
a
lot
of
time
has
been
spent
tonight.
I
want
to
get
through
this,
give
time
for
council
to
discuss
one
a
question
I
have
reached
out
to
the
treasury
on
is
related
to
do.
We
need
to
utilize
these
funds
for
unbudgeted
items
with
the
cares
act
that
was
very
specifically
ineligible.
W
So
if
you
had
dollars
that
were
budgeted
in
your
operating
budgets,
you
could
not
utilize
those
dollars
for
that.
They
came
back
later
and
said.
Well,
scrap
that
you
can
use
it
for
public
safety
and
that's
how
we
were
able
to
access
our
3.2
million
dollars
for
the
cares
act.
Public
safety
compensation
expenses
were
allowed,
but
otherwise
no
budget
items
for
the
american
rescue
plan
budgeted
items
are
eligible.
So
if
we
have
something
in
our
lid
on
a
budget
for
the
year,
we
can
utilize
those
funds
for
that
project.
W
Next
slide,
please,
so
this
slide
is
kind
of
you
know
what
we've
learned
recent
over
the
last
month
and
some
steps
we're
looking
at
taking
so
the
loss
revenue
calculation.
You
know
this
was
getting
a
lot
of
attention
initially,
as
I
mentioned,
because
it
was
considered,
maybe
the
most
versatile
category
to
utilize
our
funds,
a
lot
of
the
webinars
I
attended.
This
was
a
very
important
topic
that
was
discussed.
A
lot
of
questions
came
out,
so
the
the
guidance
came
out
and
defined
how
the
the
calculation
should
be
done.
W
W
So
I
consider
that
kind
of
like
a
gift
from
the
treasury,
I
mean
they're
trying
their
best
to
make
sure
these
funds
are
available
for
communities
to
use
not
at
will,
but
giving
you
a
lot
of
flexibility
with
that
now
they
do
need
to
standardize
their
reporting
component
components,
so
they
have
that
base
here.
It's
based
on
your
fiscal
year,
but
the
calculations
are
then
based
on
a
calendar
year
going
forward.
W
So
we've
only
been
able
to
calculate
our
revenue
impact
through
december
2020
and
again
it's
for
operating
revenues,
so
these
are
kind
of
our
operating
funds,
excluding
utilities,
so
that
category
where
we
can't
include
water
or
sewer
storm,
but
that
can
be
included
in
the
water
sewer
infrastructure
category.
So
there
you
know,
there's
no
question
there.
This
is
if
we
wanted
to
utilize
dollars
for
the
pool,
o'neill
pool
or
something
of
that
nature.
So
as
of
right
now,
our
calculations
show
that
we
have
about
8.1
million
impact
related
to
these
guidelines.
W
W
we've
got
more
guidance
on
treasury
reporting,
so
we
know
we're
going
to
have
to
issue
an
interim
report
on
august
31st
that
the
reporting
period
is
through
july,
31st
2021,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
issuing
a
zero
report
or
no
activity
report
there
and
then
we're
gonna
have
to
report
quarterly.
Thereafter,
I
haven't
been
through
that
whole
set
of
screens
related
to
how
that
is.
W
It's
going
to
be
online,
it's
done
through
the
treasury
portal,
but
we're
keeping
our
eyes
on
the
requirements
of
the
act,
making
sure
we're
in
compliance
at
all
times
and
trying
to
just
watch
watch
for
the
updates
from
accounting
controls
internal
standpoint.
W
We
we
set
up
project
codes
right
away
at
the
beginning
of
covid.
They
started
with
a
seven
those.
You
know:
that's
our
coven
project
code
for
the
revenue.
I
think
this
one's
7
500..
So
we
have
the
american
rescue
plan.
We
booked
the
revenue
into
our
accounting
system
and
with
a
project
code
of
7
500.
So
any
funds
that
are
expensed
related
to
that
act
that
plan
will
be
utilizing
that
project
code
too.
So
we
can
track
it
easily
report
on
it
easily
to
you
in
the
community
full
currency.
W
We
have
to
obviously
report
to
that
to
the
treasury
as
well
the
funds.
So
it's
it's
at
a
minimum,
it's
an
interest.
Bearing
accounts.
We
use
a
pooled
cash
for
the
city,
so
our
funds
are
in
several
different
banks
and
but
we're
accounting
for
it
separately.
If
that
makes
sense,
interest
rates
are
extremely
low
and
I'm
sure
that's
not
a
surprise
to
anyone.
W
The
illinois
funds
rate.
That's
a
that's
a
fund,
that's
administered
by
the
state
of
illinois,
the
treasurer
that's
like
at
0.02
right
now.
You
know
our
sweep
accounts
for
like
money,
market
accounts
or
0.01.
So
we
are
reviewing
engaging
an
investment
advisor
not
just
related
to
the
current
rate
interest
rate
environment,
but
it
is
kind
of
push
that
project
along
to
see.
W
If
we,
you
know
to
what
we
can
really
realize
from
the
funds,
you
know
the
funds
are
an
asset
for
the
city
to
make
sure
that
we're
realizing
the
largest
yield
that
we
can
given
the
toughness
of
this
interest
rate
environment
right
now.
W
Next
slide,
please
pause
for
questions,
but
so
this
presentation
and
the
one
done
in
may-
we
don't
have
an
american
rescue
plan
page
on
the
website.
So
I'm
going
to
have
I've
asked
it
to
put
these
presentations
under
the
finance
documents,
we'll
set
up
a
coven,
19
link
and
then
once
we
start
expensing
the
funds
we
might
have
a
page
just
dedicated
to
that
specifically,
but
in
the
interim
at
least
these
presentations
will
be
out,
but
just
fyi
for
the
community
for
council
mayor
the
the
treasury.
W
If
you,
google,
treasury
american
rescue
plan,
there's
a
really
really
nice
home
page
that
they
have
they're
doing
an
excellent
job.
They've
got
all
the
the
current
documents
with
links
to
them.
There's
a
frequently
asked
questions
guide,
quick
reference
guide.
I
have
all
listed
up
there
eligible
uses.
There's
the
interim
final
rule.
You
know.
I
think
I
joked
about
that.
W
During
the
last
meeting
you
know
stringing
those
words
together
to
me
is,
I
don't
know
interim
final:
that's
that's
the
the
guidance
that
they
took
feedback
on
through
july
16th
and
so
they'll
be
finalizing
that,
after
they
analyze
all
the
guidance
from
all
the
municipalities
etc
on
that,
but
in
the
interim
they
call
the
interim
final
rule.
That
has
a
lot
of
these
details
and
I
looked
at
that
today
and
actually
it
looks
worse
than
it
did
a
month
ago.
So
I'm
not
sure
they.
They
condensed
it
all
into
less
pages.
W
But
it's
harder
to
read
now.
So
I'm
not
sure
what
you
know
how
that's
forward
progress,
but
the
information
is
out
there
and
available
if
anyone
wants
to
take
a
look
at
the
details,
but
those
main
categories,
I
think,
are
relatively
self-explanatory:
the
use
of
lost
revenue
gets
a
little
murkier,
but
as
long
as
it's
for
the
for
the
provision
of
government
services,
you
know
we
can
utilize
those
lost
revenue
dollars
towards
you
know
miscellaneous
categories,
so
I
went.
I
went
through
that
quickly.
W
W
You
know
to
make
sure
we're
in
compliance
and
at
that
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
council
or
city
manager
for
questions
or
comments,
more
discussion,
step
back.
U
Hopefully
a
quick,
easy
one.
I
want
to
make
sure
I
understood
this
just
for
flexibility
of
how
it's
used
when
you
said
that
it
could
be
used
for
a
budgeted
line
item.
T
Yeah,
I
guess
my
question
tags
along
with
nyx,
you
said
that
the
we
could
calculate
a
4.1
percent
increase
off
of
the
last
calendar
year
not
affected
by
covid.
Is
that
based
off
of
the
total
budget
or
the
or
would
that
be
based
off
of
our
general
fund
budget?.
W
So
the
last
fiscal
year,
yeah.
I
W
Kind
of
it
switches
on
the
way
the
guidance
works
is
you
have
to
your
base
year?
Is
your
last
full
fiscal
year
prior
to
coding,
and
then,
after
that,
you
calculate
your
loss
on
calendar
year
so
that
everyone's
reporting
the
same
to
the
treasury
so
that
they're
getting
the
same
set
of
worksheets.
From
from
all
municipalities,
we
reviewed
the
guidance
and
it
said
operating
revenues.
It
kind
of
had
some
definitions,
excluding
utilities,
so
we
basically
looked
at
all
of
our
what
we
call
operating
funds
so
the
general
fund.
W
Now
we
included
golf,
that's
an
enterprise
fund,
but
it's
not
a
utility.
We
included
the
arena
and
and
that
so
so
it's
not
just
the
general
fund.
So
we
took
it
across
all
those
because
obviously
we
had
significant
revenue
reductions
in
the
arena.
You
know
not
necessarily
reductions
in
net,
but
reductions
in
revenue.
T
T
Okay,
okay,
that
was
my
yeah.
That
was
in
terms
of
how
we
could
use
it
and
stuff.
Next
question
was
my
number
one
question,
so
that's
number
two
so
that
that
does
give
us
a
significant
amount
of
flexibility
to
fix
things.
So,
okay,
thanks.
L
Yeah,
I
understand
the
questions
that
you
know
asks
and
I
understand
how
that
would
be
great.
You
know
the
federal
government
pays
for
this
and
then
we
take
our
money
and
you
know
use
something
else,
but
I
read
that
42
page
thing
and
over
and
over
again
they
keep
saying
related
to
covet
related
to
cova.
So
how
much
flexibility
I
mean
we're
going
to
have
to
report
and
prove
that
the
the
way
the
money
is
allocated
truly
fits.
What
the
you
know.
The
act
is
meant
to
serve
so.
W
So
there's
a
lot
of
times,
there's
not
a
connecting
line
through
those
categories
from
the
way
we're
looking
at
it,
but
I
I
even
I
think
on
one
of
those
slides
in
that
corner
up
by
the
relief
I
have
my
show
at
covet
impact.
So
if
you
set
up
a
grant
program-
and
again
this
goes
to
council
member
becker's
question
and
I'm
cautious,
I
answer
this,
but
you
know
I
think
the
treasury's
real
intent
is
that
they
want
you
utilizing
the
funds
they
want.
You
spending
them.
Okay.
W
So
if
we
use
the
dollars
for
a
budgeted
line
item
and
then
we
use
them
somewhere
else-
and
we
just
don't
save
that-
I
think
we
would
be
in
compliance.
Our
auditor
said:
well,
it
wasn't
our
otters.
One
of
our
advisors
said:
keep
it
between
the
guard
rails.
You
know
and-
and
you
know,
there's
there's
more
flexibility
in
this
act.
So
I'm
sorry
to
ramble
on
about
it.
L
Okay,
so
then,
the
discussion
here
is
about
capital
projects,
not
really
setting
up
a
grant
program
for
helping
businesses
and
and
individual
households.
W
That's
to
your
discretion,
I
mean
because
grant
programs
for
businesses
have
been
affected
by
covid,
that
a
grant
program
could
be
set
related
to
these
categories
in
the
allowance,
but.
W
I'm
not
sure
I
follow
you
like,
because
we
we
can,
you
can
do
economic
relief,
so
we
could.
We
could
set
up
programs
to
businesses
that
were
impacted
by
covet
and-
and
you
know,
we've
taken
in
6.7
million
dollars
in
revenue.
We'd
have
dollars
expenditures
going
out,
grant
related
expenditures
to
businesses
related
to
a
program.
However,
we
design
that
what
qualifications
loss,
revenues
etc.
L
Okay,
and
do
we
actually
have
to
put
a
written
plan
together
to
submit
to
the
federal
government
before
we
start
spending
the
money.
L
And
the
last
question
is
about
administering
the
whole
program.
I
remember
with
the
cares
act
administration.
We
ended
up
having
to
hire
another
employee
because
it
was
pretty
much
overwhelming
and
we
don't
have
jennifer
here
anymore.
So
is
there
going
to
going
to
be
a
need
for
hiring
and
is
that
going
to
be
able
to
be
covered
by
the
federal
funding.
W
Well,
I
guess
I'll
have
a
two-part
answer
to
that.
It
depends
on
the
direction
council
decides
to
go
with
the
funds.
W
So
if
it's,
you
know
I'll,
say
a
one
and
done
you
know:
you're
gonna
throw
put
put
them
up
dollars
towards
a
couple
of
large
capital
projects,
there's
really
minimal
administration
as
far
as
tracking
and
reporting
those
dollars
go
to
the
treasury,
we'll
handle
that
in
finance
no
problem,
if
there's
a
grant
program
that
you
want
to
have
established
for
relief
to
citizens,
residents
or
businesses
and
there's
you
know,
qualifications
and
you
have
to
be
reviewing
tax
statements
and
that
that
kind
of
thing
I
I
I
guess
I
would
say-
maybe
you
know
that
you
and
then
for
your
last
question
about
you
know:
can
you
include
that
cost
in
the
plant?
S
Hi,
thank
you,
scott,
so,
with
the
discussion
that
we
had
previously
the
the
locust
holton
fund,
I
understand
that
we've
already
committed
that
within
the
next
nine
years,
we're
going
to
do
that
work
so
just
at
least
that's
my
understanding.
So
if
we
were
to
consider
accelerating
that
front
loading
that
work
and
getting
it
done
as
quickly
as
possible,
essentially
kind
of
to
nick's
point,
we
would
be
freeing
up
not
only
money
that
we
would
have
been
having
to
set
aside
over
the
next
nine
years,
but
likely.
S
N
R
W
S
Right
right
right
I
mean
so
that's
my
point.
I
mean
if
we
know
we
are
going
to
spend
that
money.
I
mean
we've
committed.
You
know
with
regard
to
our
remediation
plan
or
whatever
naming
convention
is
appropriate
for
the
commitment
to
handle
this
epa
concern
so,
and
the
the
secondary
opportunity,
then,
would
seem
it
would
very
much
simplify
admin.
This
is
a
honorable
use
that
would
allow
us,
though,
to
have
opportunities
in
the
future
as
a
result
of
this
infusion
of
money
to
the
community.
A
Thank
you.
I
know
I
had
seen
yet
do
you
want
to
yield
your
time
to
her?
First?
Yes,
oh,
yes,
okay,
okay,
okay,
councilman,
carrillo,.
R
Great,
thank
you
yeah
one
question,
or
I
guess
one
one
thing
for
us
to
keep
in
mind.
I
would
be
really
interested
in
in
seeing
what
we
can
do
to
set
up
a
means
of
public
input
outside
of
the
you
know
the
meetings,
whether
that's
a
pretty
simple
survey.
I
know
sometimes
we
kind
of
over
complicate
things
and
make
them
more
cumbersome
than
they
need
to
be,
but
I
would
be
really
interested
in
seeing
how
the
community
weighs
in
about
how
this
money
should
be
spent.
R
I
do
think
you
know
there
is
something
to
be
said
about
why
equity
is
one
of
the
pieces
of
this
of
this
plan
right
and
that
that's
that
systemic
racism
and
systemic
inequities
have
made
it
so
that
the
impacts
of
the
pandemic
have
been
have
been
hardest
for
the
communities
that
are
always
left
out
right,
and
the
same
is
true
of
flood
events
and
the
increasing
events
related
to
climate
change
on
and
on,
and
so
I
do
think
that
I'm
glad
to
see
that
that's
a
part
of
this
and
I
and
I
encourage
us
to
keep
that
in
the
front
of
our
mind,
like
we're
very
rarely
gonna
get
money.
R
You
know
kind
of
fall
out
of
the
sky
that
is
actually
intended
to
help
us
address
some
of
those
inequities,
and
you
know
the
west
side
certainly
has
been
a
place
that
has
not
gotten
its
fair
share
over
the
years,
and
so
I
I
would
like
to
see
us
keep
that
in
mind.
As
we
talk
about
expenses.
Q
Yeah,
just
briefly,
I
I
I
really
like
the
idea
of
of
spending
money
in
ways
that
can
move
things
along
speed.
Things
up,
and
I
want
us
to
be
really
careful
not
to
put
not
to
lose
opportunities
to
spend
money.
Q
That
then,
will
not
come
again
and
what
I'm
getting
at
is
that
if,
if,
for
example,
the
money
is
already
there
for
us
to
be
able
to
spend
for,
for
instance,
the
csos
from
from
a
certain
pot
of
money
and
we're
not
able
to
spend
that
pot
of
money
on
any
other
project,
I'd
hate
for
us,
then
to
put
the
money
this
money
into
that
and
then
not
be
able
to
spend
this
money
on
another
project.
If
that
makes
any
sense.
A
Okay,
well,
thank
you
and
I
think
that's
something
that
will
explore
our
staff
at
a
later
time
right
so
council,
member
grebel.
M
M
Yeah
so
kind
of
the
point,
I
think
that
other
woman
ward
was
making
is
I
I
certainly
see
some
benefit
in
in
accelerating
some
projects
right,
but
I
do
you
know,
and
but
I
don't
want
us
to
then
forget
about
the
money
we
were
going
to
set
aside
anyway
right
and
had
that
go
to
someplace
else.
Who
knows
where
I
don't
want
us
to.
You
know,
use
us
this
money
to
do
o'neill
pool
you
know
I
mean
we
should
already
have
money
set
aside
for
that
right.
M
So
so
I
wanted
to
make
that
point
also.
You
know
there
are
deadlines
for
us
to
decide
how
to
spend
the
money
and
and
when
we
have
to
spend
it
right,
but
there
are
no
deadlines
on
when
we
can
start
deciding
how
to
spend
it
and
spend
that
correct.
M
We
could
do
it
next
week
if
we
wanted
that's
right,
okay,
and
so
I
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we,
you
know,
put
a
process
in
place
where
we're
getting
as
much
public
input
as
possible
that
we
are
working
with
the
county
and
the
and
the
town
on
maybe
bigger
ways
we
could.
We
could
spend
that
money
just
as
options
right
and
and
but
make
those
decisions
not
wait
until
the
end
to
make
those
decisions
make
those
as
quickly
as
we
can.
So
we
can
start
making
changes
in
our
community.
W
I
didn't
want
to
clarify
one
thing
real
quickly.
If
I
interpreted
what
you
were
saying
just
the
sewer
funds
like
if
we
free
up
like
if
we
spend
american
rescue
plan
dollars
for
locust
coals,
sewer
dollars
will
still
be
the
sewer
dollars.
Okay,
so
sewer
revenue
sewer
revenue
that
never
gets
transferred
over,
so
we
could
do
additional
sewer
projects,
then
in
the
future,
so
those
those
remain
sewer
dollars
that
that
rate
increase
that
went
into
effect
in
2018
kevin
referred
to
that's
what
assisted
some
of
the
more
aggressive.
W
However,
we
want
to
say
it,
the
the
plan
being
put
in
place
helped
fund
these
epa
loans
and
things
of
that
nature.
That
was
a
pretty
material
increase.
I
think
it
was
a
50
increase
back.
Then
the
funds
were
not
available
to
approach
these
kinds
of
projects
back
then,
but
sewer
funds
or
sewer
funds,
water
funds
or
water
funds.
A
V
What
helps
me
is
it's
counter-intuitive
it
when
it's
green,
you
think
you
can
talk,
but
it's
actually
the
opposite.
It's.
R
V
It's
like
it's
hot,
the
mic
is
hot
anyway.
That
helps
me.
I
I
was
going
to
to
bring
up
the
community
development
block
grants
process,
because
I
do
remember
that
there
was
a
big
part
of
that
where
community
input
was
collected
in
terms
of
having
some
guidance,
ultimately
in
how
those
funds
could
be
spent.
So
I
agree
that
it
would
be
good
to
get
some
indicator
of
of
public
feedback
and
back
to
the
locus
colton
project.
The
epa
is
funding
a
percentage
of
that,
and
am
I
right
about
that
that
it's
it's.
V
V
Thank
you
for
that.
I
was
trying
to
figure
it
out
based
on
the
the
information
on
the
website.
So
that's
that's
really
helpful
and
I'm
I'm
just
wondering
too
what
what's
the
next
step
for
us
in
general
in
terms
of
a
process,
how
are
we
going
to
make
this
determination
and
what
what
do
we
need
to
do
to
provide
input
as
representatives
of
our
communities.
O
Really
tonight
was
just
an
update:
there's
not
a
lot
of
additional
clarity,
but
wanted
to
have
this
piggy
back
off
of
the
presentation.
That
was
just
prior
many
of
the
suggestions
that
came
from
council
and
has
come
from
council
and
past
conversations.
O
O
A
Okay,
so
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
council
initiative
presented
by
council
member
matthew
regarding
a
two-year
trial
program
to
send
mental
health
crisis
counselors
out
on
emergency
and
on
emergency
calls
in
addition
to
police
or
firefighters,
first
responders.
T
Thank
you
yeah,
so
this
aldermatic
initiative
is
just
to
start
the
ball
rolling
to
say
that
I
think
that
we
should
create
a
process
and
a
program
as
a
trial
to
exactly
what
it
says
to
send
out
mental
health
crisis
counselors.
Well,
first,
we
need
to
identify
what
types
of
calls
we
should
send
them
on
and
then
partner
with
an
organization
in
town,
possibly
path,
possibly
the
fuse
program
or
something
of
that
nature
and
with
the
goal
of
being
to
send
out
crisis
counselors
where
appropriate.
Right.
T
We've
seen
some
programs
around
the
united
states
in
oregon
and
in
the
denver
area
that
are
starting
to
move
towards
this
possibility
of
looking
and
seeing
are
there
types
of
calls.
We
should
send
crisis
counselors
out
as
the
first
step,
with
the
hope
of
defusing
a
situation
and
keeping
people
out
of
the
emergency
room,
keeping
people
out
of
jails,
and
so
my
initiative
was
to
use
city
staff
and
fire
department
and
police
department
and
and
the
experts
that
we
have
already
hired
to
start
fleshing
out
this
idea
of
what
would
this
look
like?
T
If
we
did
this
in
the
city,
how
would
we
implement
this
and
create
real
trackable
numbers
so
that
we
have
educated
numbers
to
make
long-term
informed
decisions
off
of
now?
That
being
said,
all
this
might
be
completely
moot
at
this
point,
because
the
general
assembly
signed
in
well.
They
they
passed
a
law
up
called
cesa
that
could
actually
take
this
off
our
plate
by
requiring
we
do
this
under
state
law.
T
Anyway,
I
leslie
reached
out
to
me
to
ask
if
I
still
want
to
continue
to
move
this
forward,
and
I
did
because
governor
pritzker
hasn't
actually
signed
it
yet
or
if
he
did,
I
missed
it.
I
tried
to
find
in
the
news
if
anybody
knows,
but
I
I
don't
think
he
signed
it
yet
if
he
doesn't,
we
we're
going
to
need.
I
think
we
should
do
something
if
he
does.
A
Okay
sounds
good,
so
I
should
have
said
this
in
the
beginning,
but
you
we
basically
have
three
options
here.
This
is
not
up
for
a
major
discussion,
but
we
just
want
to.
We
have
three
options.
A
So
at
this
point
I
guess
I'm
gonna
leave
it
up
to
you
jamie,
to
propose
a
emotion
and.
T
Well,
and,
and
one
of
the
things
I
wanted,
I've
gotten
a
bunch
of
questions
on
this
from
other
council
members.
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
get
back
to
everybody
as
well
from
the
community.
I.
This
is
not
the
world
that
I'm
an
expert
on.
I
am
proposing
that
we
use
our
staff
and
the
experts
we
have
hired
to
start
building
an
idea
and
a
framework
out,
so
my
ideal
solution
would
be
staff
would
prepare
an
analysis
and
start
looking
at
this.
T
I
know
that
the
bloomington
fire
department
has
already
been
talking
to
path
in
the
past
about
doing
the
same
program,
but
path
didn't
have
funding,
and
so
in
this
I
actually
propose
one
of
the
possible
sources
of
funding
could
be
the
tax
revenue
coming
in
from
legalized
cannabis
sales.
Since
we
there
was
a
conversation
we
had
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
this
did
something
positive
for
the
community,
and
I
think
this
is
one
of
those
possibilities.
T
A
R
And
I
guess
my
question
is
whether
the
initiative,
like
the
the
initial
and
the
initial
intent
of
the
initiative,
can
change
based
on
this,
the
analysis
that
staff
does
and
the
discussion
that
happens
on
council,
especially
if
the
act
is
signed
in
between
then.
Could
we
then
say:
okay
well
now
we
want
to
use
this
model
to
explore.
R
T
Yeah,
I'm
fine
if
it
morphs
right,
I
mean
some
of
this
is
going
to
be
taken
out
of
our
hands
potentially,
if
it
morphs
into
something
different.
I
am
willing
to
talk
about
it
cool.
I
think
that
it
is
going
to
take
a
little
while,
for
us
to
figure
out
state
is
going
to
have
to
figure
out
how
to
implement
what
they,
what
the
general
said
in
the
past,
and
that
could
be
a
multi-year
thing,
while
they're
trying
to
sort
it
out,
but
I'm
okay
with
the
idea
personally.
S
Is
there
any
boundary
to
how
much
staff
time
we
would
be
willing
to
invest
in
this,
as
we
vote
on
this,
I'm
just
thinking
about
the
fact
that
we
do
have
this
state
legislation
pending.
And
secondly,
you
know
I
you
know
this.
This
would
kind
of
take
away
opportunity
costs
toward
other
things
that
the
staff
may
be
currently
facing.
If
we
don't
kind
of
box
it
in
to
you
know
a
high
level
analysis
or
a
directional
analysis,
as
opposed
to
a
deep
dive.
A
T
Realistically,
to
do
this
correctly
is
going
to
take
some
time
in
terms
of
so
I
am
okay,
the
the
governor
has
60
days
to
either
sign
or
veto
what
the
general
assembly
sent
him.
If
we
wanted
to
wait
and
see
what
happened,
I'm
willing
to
delay
this
to
wait
to
see
if
he
signs
it
or
not.
I'm
fine
with
this.
T
I
just
like
I
said
I
submitted
this
and
then
they
passed
it
like
three
days
after
I
sent
it
in
tim,
so
I
I
wasn't
prepared
for
them
to
actually
take
action
and
move
that
fast.
So
I'm
okay
waiting
and
then
we
could
have
a
conversation
in
the
past.
We
have
brought
these
back
a
second
time
with
maybe
a
quick
update
to
them,
and
we've
had
a
little
bit
further
council
discussion
and
I'm
fine
with
that
idea.
If
that's
what
everybody
would
like
to
do,.
A
T
X
Did
you
have
to
withdraw
the
initial
motion
and
then
make
a
motion
to
table
this
for
either
in
general
or
for
a
date,
certain
you're,
probably
better
off?
Maybe.
A
T
True
yeah,
I'm
fine
with
that
I'll,
withdraw
this
and
to
be
resubmitted
for
next
community.
The
whole
hoping
we
know
something
more
from
the
governor
okay.
T
U
But,
given
that
we
have
a
lot
on
the
agenda
for
august
anyway
in
the
committee
of
the
whole,
I
would
say
targeting
september
might
just
be
and
to
focus
on
councilwoman
monty's
opinion
of
we
got
a
lot
to
do.
Can
we
just
target
september
and
make
it
easy.
Q
I'd
just
like
to
make
the
comment,
though,
that
if
it's
brought
up
again
at
the
committee
of
the
whole,
even
in
august,
we
don't
have
to
have
a
big
long
discussion
about
it.
It's
just
giving
staff
direction,
so
it
seems
like
if,
if
we
have
the
possibility
of
moving
forward,
it
would
be
nice
to
be
able
to
do
that
as
opposed
to
waiting
yet
another
month.
Q
B
I
don't
mean
to
also
muddy
the
waters
but
kind
of
to
what
councilman
reward
is
saying,
often
when
these
move
forward.
It's
done
with
the
flexibility
that
the
city
manager
kind
of
directs,
what
happens
in
that
conversation
and
how
it's
fine-tuned
for
how
it
moves
forward.
So,
if
that's
helpful
at
all,
you
could
also
just
decide
that
we
could
go
with
the
previous
motion.
That
staff
would
prepare
an
analysis
and
bring
it
back
at
which
time
the
city
manager
and
mayor
would
determine
when
that
comes.
L
B
T
A
N
U
A
M
A
O
O
Let
me
shift
and
go
to
the
new
employees,
so
we
have
robert
washington
that
started
with
public
works.
Susan
high
with
bcpa
do
not
recognize
this
last
person,
catherine
murphy,
our
communications
manager
talk
about
being
thrown
right
right
into
it.
She
has
and
she's
done
an
excellent
job.
Next
slide,
please
dog
days,
that's
our
first
friday.
That's
coming
up,
not
this
friday,
but
the
following,
and
then
the
downtown
farmers
market.
O
It's
been
extremely
successful
and
that's
every
saturday
morning,
7
30
to
noon,
and
I
think
that
was
it
for
the
slides,
the
special
bulk
waste
pickup.
We
expect
to
complete
this
on
wednesday.
We
followed
the
same
traditional
map
for
the
different
zones
and
areas
picked
it
up
in
the
same
order
as
we
do
on
any
other,
given
bulk
waste
pickup.
O
But
the
comment
that
was
made
earlier,
I
was
going
to
share
that.
We
know
that
there
is
still
a
fair
amount
of
flood
damage,
type
of
debris
and
we're
finalizing
what
we
will
communicate
to
the
community
on
how
we
will
pick
that
up.
Is
it
going
to
be
another
full-blown
special
bulk
waste
pickup,
or
is
it
going
to
be
these
one-offs
as
we
are
notified
to
come
out
and
pick
those
up
and
again,
you
know
we
would
ask
the
community
not
to
mix
you
know
stuff.
That's
obviously
not
the
flood
damage
this.
O
This
really
is
about
taking
care
of
the
storm
victims
and
then
also
just
communicating
to
everyone.
So
what
gives
you
know
as
far
as
public
works
and
what
they're
doing
you
know
all
hands
on
deck
with
these
special
folkways
pickup?
So
what
are
they
not
doing
and
what
they
are
not
doing
is
the
alley
maintenance,
the
mowing
that
we're
responsible
for
that
also
includes
the
state
routes,
because
we
do
that
for
idot.
O
So
if
you
see
a
little
bit
taller
weeds
or
things
that
are
unkept
and
they're
typically
maintained
to
a
high
degree
in
this
community,
that's
what's
given
in
in
this
storm
event,
and
I
think
that's
it.
Oh
real,
quick,
I'm
sorry,
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
the
staff
that
were
represented
at
the
mark,
the
multi-agency
resource
center.
This
is
something
again
under
the
emergency
authority
at
the
county
level.
They
stood
this
up.
O
It
was
a
great
resource
for
our
community
and
it's
one
of
those
opportunities
that,
even
if
we
don't
have
all
the
answers,
it's
an
opportunity
to
listen
and
we
were
extremely
well
represented
by
staff,
and
I
know
some
of
the
elected
officials
were
there
as
well,
and
this
was
for
the
community.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
