A
Here,
I'm
ready
to
go;
okay,
all
right!
We're
gonna,
go
ahead
and
call
the
meeting
of
the
bloomington
city
council
to
order,
and
if
I
can
get
everyone
to
say
the
pledge
of
allegiance,
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
united
states
of
america
and
to
the
republic
for
which
it
stands.
One
nation,
under
god,
indivisible
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all
and
now
four
minutes
of
silence.
C
C
D
Here,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Everybody.
I
had
a
little
bit
of
difficulty
getting
back
on
today.
Thank
you
so
much
in
the
process
of
trying
to
get
my
trying
to
find
my
agenda.
D
B
D
E
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council,
and
for
the
community
wanted
to
provide
an
update
on
the
vaccination
center.
Our
arena,
in
conjunction
with
mclean
county
health
department,
camille
rodriguez,
county
administrator,
continues
to
you
know
just
make
sure
that
this
community,
and
especially
the
elected
officials,
know
how
much
she
appreciates
the
partnership,
and
we
also
think
that
there's
opportunities
for
us
to
ramp
up
what
we're
delivering
in
terms
of
the
resources,
the
people,
but
still
the
the
vaccination
supply,
is
a
concern
for
us
here
at
mclean
county.
E
But
I
do
know
that
our
local
state
delegation
is
involved
in
this.
I
had
a
conversation
with
representative
dan
brady
past
week,
actually
a
meeting,
and
he
really
is
at
the
forefront
with
the
governor's
office,
trying
to
get
us
more
supply
here
at
the
community,
and
I
know
chairman
mcintyre
is
as
well
so
jeff
gears.
One
thing
that
I
wanted
to
share
is,
as
we
approach
you
know,
possibly
a
spring
lifting
of
eviction.
The
suspension
of
eviction.
E
Another
item
mayor
I
want
to
share
some
of
the
homelessness
homelessness
numbers
and
while
we
do
not
have
any
2021
numbers
provided
to
us
from
path
for
january
and
february,
we
do
have
some
2020
point
in
time.
Count
is
what
they
call
it,
and
those
numbers
are
of
171
households
reported
again
in
2020
216
people
were
experiencing
homelessness
and
not
just
the
city
of
bloomington,
but
also
the
numbers
include
the
town
of
normal
about
52
percent
of
people
experiencing
homelessness
in
our
11
county.
E
Continuing
continuum
of
care
are
in
mclean
county,
and
I
want
to
say
that
again,
because
I
think
it's
sort
of
butchered
that
comment
of
about
52
of
all
people
experiencing
homelessness
in
our
11
county
continuum
of
care
are
in
mclean,
county
2021
point
in
time
again
the
state
has
not
prepared
yet
one
thing
for
those
that
are
suffering
from
homelessness.
E
So
that's
something
that
our
staff
is
working
with
ferry
state
legal
services
and
also
mclean
county
to
make
sure
that
our
our
residents
are
in
a
better
spot
when
that
day
comes
another
thing
wanted
to
share
that,
while
we
have
emergency
shelters
in
place
in
our
community
anything
beyond
this
capacity,
there
are
hotel
vouchers
that
mclean
county
will
issue
and
some
of
our
cdb,
some
of
our
cdbg
funding,
has
gone
to
fund
mclean
county
and
some
of
those
vouchers,
so
just
a
quick
overview
mayor,
but
wanted
to
provide
that
to
the
community
and
to
the
elected
officials.
D
Thank
you,
mr
police,
and
we
appreciate
all
of
what
you
do
and
obviously
all
of
what
you
and
your
staff
do.
It's
obviously
incredibly
difficult
intense
time
as
we're
moving
forward
and
trying
to
get
this
budget
passed.
Thank
you
at
this
point.
We're
going
to
go
to
our
under
six
recognition
of
appointments
to
boards
and
commissions.
Madam
clerk.
B
D
Great,
thank
you,
madam
corgan.
Thank
you
for
everybody,
who's
willing
to
step
forward.
Obviously
we
very
much
appreciate
it.
It's
really
really
critical
when
we
have
people
who
are
willing
to
deep
dive
into
many
of
the
issues
that
we
have
to
deal
with,
and
we
have
boarding
commission
members
who
really
give
us
some
information,
help
illuminate
the
possibilities
and
problems
and
issues
and
concerns
that
we
have
to
deal
with.
D
At
this
point,
we'll
move
to
public
comment.
Madam
clerk,
do
we
have
people
online
or
anyone
to
announce.
B
G
Yeah,
I'm
here
and
I'm
a
local
landlord
here
and
I'm
just
real
upset
about
the
city's.
I
know
this
is
a
city
ordinance
with
this
water
bill
thing,
which
is
totally
ridiculous
at
this
point,
and
the
gentleman
was
speaking
about
the
moratorium
and
the
evictions.
G
It's
all
kinds
of
stuff
out
there
for
the
tenants
doing
this
covert
thing,
but
then
they
all
say
because
of
covet.
They
can't
do
this.
They
can't
do
that,
but
at
the
same
time
the
water
bill
keeps
going
up
and
they
they
don't
shut
the
water
bill
off
because
of
the
covert
okay.
And
then
our
tenants
know
this.
G
G
We
got
to
fix
high
water,
we
got
to
pay
taxes,
we
got
to
do
101
other
things
that
that
the
tenants
not
even
aware
of
that
we
do-
and
you
know,
over
the
winter
we
fix
five
furnaces
and
if
we
hadn't
fixed
those
furnaces,
they
would
have
been
calling
down
to
the
city
and
the
inspectors
would
have
been
over
there
and
we
would
have
been
in
trouble
for
not
fixing
the
furnace,
but
at
the
same
time
we
don't
get
rent
we're
supposed
to
keep
planning
out
this
stuff
and
there's
nothing
out
there
for
the
landlords
to
get
assistance.
G
With
I
mean
it's
just
it's
it's
in
in
the
the
city
want
to
keep
charging
us
everybody,
nobody
paid
late
fees,
but
then
the
city
want
to
tackle
late
fees.
On
top
of
this
charges
with
somebody
else's
water
bill,
I
just
think
it's
absurd
and
we
need
to.
We
need
some
answers
and
we
need
some
stuff
changed
because
everybody's
using
this
pandemic
as
an
excuse
not
to
do
this
not
to
do
that,
but
at
the
same
time
the
city
and
the
water
department
keep
keep
on
like
like
it
was
before
the
pandemic.
G
So
if
everybody,
the
whole
world
was
in
a
pandemic,
including
the
landlords
and
we're
trying
to
make
it
places
for
tenants
to
live,
and
we
went
to
less
fortunate
people
and
then
the
guy
was
saying
something
about
after
this,
this
mandatorian
is
not
going
to
last
forever.
Just
like
the
pandemic
ain't
and
once
it's
lifted,
it
is
going
to
be
a
flocks
of
homeless
people
and
the
only
reason
is
because
of
you
know
we
got
to
pay
off.
D
I
just
just
want
to
clarify
that
as
a
comment
again,
we
don't
normally
comment
back
but
that
you
might.
D
Melissa
and
others,
because
we
do
have
programs
that
might
be
able
to
help
small
businesses.
You
might
want
to
take
care
of
that.
Sir
you're
absolutely
right,
and
I
I
wish
you
the
best
you
still
get
in
touch
with
who
melissa
hahn,
if
you
have
issues
just
call
me
and
we'll
get
you
in
touch
with
her.
Thank
you,
madam.
F
Is
the
water
department
or
more
recently
known
as
the
finance
department
has
refused
to
shut
off
the
tenants
water
and
we
have
a
tenant
now
who,
for
12
months
since
the
day
that
the
protection
came
on,
that
they
weren't
going
to
charge
late
fees
and
we're
not
shutting
off
water?
We
have
a
tenant,
hasn't
made
a
payment
since
we've
been
calling
down
to
the
water
department
hey.
When
are
you
guys
going
to
start
shutting
water
off?
What
are
we
going
to
do?
What
can
we
do
this
and
that
nobody
said
anything?
F
You
know
what
they
say:
they're
like
a
broken
record
down
there.
It's
an
ordinance,
I'm
sorry,
there's
nothing!
We
can
do
well!
You
know
what.
Last
month,
I
found
out
what
you
are
going
to
do
and
you
sent
me
a
letter
with
big
red
letters
in
the
bottom.
That
said,
this
is
an
attempt
to
collect
a
debt
and-
and
it
was
a
letter
saying
that
we
would
request
your
help
in
bringing
this
account
current
by
february
26,
in
order
to
prevent
a
possible
legal
action
of
a
lien
being
placed
on
my
property.
F
Okay,
first
of
all
that
letter
was
dated
february
12th.
I
did
not
receive
it
till
the
19th,
and
you
want
to
give
me
15
days
to
bring
a
delinquent
tenants
water
bill
current
after
he's
been
let
to
run
up
his
water
bill
for
12
consecutive
months.
His
bill
on
december
12
was
1873
and
the
city
finance
department
wants
to
send
the
landlord
a
letter
because
we're
jointly
and
severally
liable.
F
This
is
the
the
ordinance
that
you
that
has
been
being
referred
to,
and
so
you're
gonna
tell
me
that
a
year
of
these
coveted
courtesies
to
these
tenants
who
have
resources
available
to
them,
they're
not
even
going
to
ask
for
the
help,
because
there's
no
incentive
because
they
know
if
they
don't
pay,
that
water
bill
the
landlord
will
and
in
my
last
20
seconds,
I'm
here
to
let
you
know
we're
not
going
to
keep
taking
this
and
we're
going
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
to
take
the
proper
steps
to
get
that
changed
for
number
one.
D
D
B
D
D
D
D
I
J
K
D
Great,
thank
you
so
much.
Madam
clerk.
We
move
on
to
our
regular
agenda
under
number
nine
presentation
of
the
utility
billing
conversion
and
residence
engagement
interface
platform.
The
invoice
cloud
is
excuse
me,
as
requested
by
the
finance
department,
and
at
this
point
there
is
no
motion
required,
but
we
have
a
presentation
and
brief,
very
brief
council
discussion
of
five
minutes.
I'll
turn
this
over
to
mr
gleason
and
then
mr
rathman,
as
he
so
chooses.
Mr
gleason.
E
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
This
utility
billing
conversion
is
quite
a
big
deal
for
the
organization
I
wanted
to
have
scott
rathbun
prepare
a
presentation.
Billy.
Our
deputy
city
manager
is
working
on
a
communication
rollout
for
the
residents
of
the
community
and
there's
a
fair
amount,
that's
in
play,
and
this
is
actually
coming
up
very
soon.
Scott.
L
L
That's
been
in
the
process
for
nearly
three
years
now:
it's
not
just
a
system
conversion,
but
it's
it's
really
kind
of
a
changing
the
solution
related
to
utility
billing
and
then
a
further
extension
of
that
throughout
the
organization
related
to
this
invoice
cloud
payment
platform.
So
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen.
L
L
I
phil
was
was
attempting
to
show
me
how
to
do
the
screen.
Can
you
see
the
screen
now.
L
All
right
cool
teach
a
man
to
fish.
I
made
that
joke
with
him
as
opposed
to.
L
L
utility
billing
was
to
be
one
of
the
final
conversions.
It's
it's
a
very
complex
system.
We
have
over
30
000
accounts,
but
but,
as
I
mentioned
initially,
we
didn't
want
to
just
look
at
this
as
a
a
billing
system
conversion,
but
attempting
to
provide
more
of
a
global
solution
to
the
community,
enhanced
payment
options,
better
communications,
things
of
that
nature,
along
with
the
staff
efficiencies
that
we're
going
to
gain.
L
As
as
I
also
negated,
we
had
30
000,
plus
utility
accounts
and
we're
rolling
out
this
in
voice
cloud
platform.
A
very
major
undertaking
with
three
departments
involved-
probably
more
I.t
finance
public
works.
It's
something
that
that's
going
to
impact
the
community
related
to
benefits
on
the
other
side,
but
in
the
short
term,
we
are
going
to
have
a
bit
of
a
downtime
related
to
this
conversion
of
all
this
data.
L
Before
we
talk
about
the
downtime
and
that
conversion
I
wanted
to
just
briefly
go
through
the
benefits
that
we
went
through
in
november
related
invoice
cloud.
There's
many
more
options
for
payment.
I'll
just
highlight
a
couple
here:
the
mobile
text
text
payment
and
we're
going
to
have
an
ivr
solution
for
residents
to
be
able
to
call
in
and
make
a
payment
anytime
day
or
night,
with
also
an
option
for
our
spanish
speaking
residents.
L
The
other
component
I
wanted
to
emphasize
related
to
the
new
system
is
that
it
is
really
user
friendly.
There
there
may
be
concerns
related
to
you
know,
learning
the
new
system
getting
adjusted
to
it,
but
you
know,
as
you
can
see
here
in
this
screen
once
once
you're
in
this
system.
It
it
fairly
just
prompts
you
through
you
know,
send
me
a
pres,
a
pay
by
text.
Message
like
to
sign
up
for
auto
pay
would
like
to
sign
up
for
paperless.
L
Of
course,
you
know
our
our
staff
at
the
at
the
city
here
will
be
available
to
help
guide
people
through
this
system,
but
essentially,
once
we
go
live
there
will
be
a
link
on
our
website.
Just
as
there
is
now
online
payment
portal
that
will
basically
provide
you
an
option,
two
options:
a
one-time
payment
or
a
login
type
kind
of
option,
but
this
one
will
be
fairly
easy
and
walk
you
right
through
it.
L
L
Okay,
I
think
phil's
intervening
on
my
behalf
at
this
point,
so
what
residents
need
to
know,
in
my
apologies-
we'll
get
this
figured
out
before
budget
presentation
we're
going
to
have
the
system
that's
going
to
be
down
starting
march
12th.
All
of
the
account
numbers
and
bill
formats
will
change,
and
the
auto
payment
and
e
delivery
options
will
will
need
to
be
reset
as
well.
We'll
go
through
these
in
detail
in
just
a
moment.
L
Next
screen
phil,
if
you're
doing
this
for
me
system
down
time,
so
we're
going
to
need
to
take
the
system
down
march
12th
at
4
30,
and
it's
going
to
be
down
for
an
entire
week.
This
means
we
won't
be
able
to
process
bills
or
payments
during
this
during
this
time.
L
However,
if
you
mail
in
your
bill
or
if
you
drop
off
payments,
we'll
still
we'll
still
be
able
to
accept
those
and
we'll
post
them
to
your
account
after
the
conversion,
given
this
sort
of
temporary
pause
in
the
processing
and
considering
that
there
will
be
a
learning
curve
for
the
community,
we're
not
going
to
assess
any
late
penalties
from
march
12th
through
april
30th
to
account
for
this
transition
next
slide.
Please.
L
The
new
bills
will
be
sent
out
the
beginning
of
march
29th
if
you're
scheduled
to
have
a
bill
being
processed
the
week
of
march
15th
during
our
downtime,
we're
actually
going
to
accelerate
that
processing
and
get
your
bill
out
to
you
early
this
week.
The
due
date
will
still
be
the
same,
but
we're
going
to
try
to
get
ahead,
so
we
won't
have
kind
of
a
backlog
of
payment
or
a
billing
post
conversions
within
those
new
bills.
We're
going
to
have
a
how
to
read
your
bill.
Insert
the
bills
will
look
completely
different.
L
L
L
The
key
component
for
the
conversion
host
conversion
will
be
those
consumers
and
residents
that
have
signed
up
for
auto
payment
and
e-delivery
we're
going
to
have
to
ask
everyone
to
reset
their
credit
card
and
direct
debit
debit
processing
instructions
and
the
need
for
this
is
really
related
to
pci,
compliant
compliance
payment
card
industry.
Compliance.
Basically,
we've
been
given
authorization
to
process
payments
via
a
certain
credit
card,
processor
or
direct
debit,
as
we
process
them,
but
in
the
future
everything's
going
to
be
processing
through
invoice
cloud
and
their
processor.
E
L
Going
to
be
available
online,
but
what
we
need
to
emphasize
is
you
cannot
do
that
until
after
we
go
live
on
march
march,
23rd
you're
going
to
need
your
new
account
number
and
we
won't
have
those
until
we
actually
go
live
so
at
the
bottom.
There
we
have
the
bold
instructions
in
order
to
do
anything
online.
L
You
must
have
your
new
account
number
and
you
can
wait
to
get
your
first
bill
for
that
or
you
can
call
into
the
city
and
we'll
provide
that
to
you
and
then
the
other
option
related
to
online
activity
as
it
stands
now
is
for
those
consumers
or
residents
that
are
signed
up
for
paperless.
L
We
want
to
encourage
our
residents
to
sign
up
for
paperless
it's
good
for
the
environment.
It's
cost
savings,
but
we
are
asking
the
residents
to
re-enroll
post
conversion,
we'll
have
instructions
on
how
to
do
this
after
our
online
after
conversion,
we
have
about
20
of
our
emails
that
get
kicked
back
so
we're
looking
at
the
need
for
fresh
data
related
for
this
next
slide.
Please.
L
So
I
want
to
apologize
for
the
inconvenience
of
both
the
conversion
and
this
presentation
I
phil
did
his
best
to
to
teach
an
old
dog
a
new
trick
here,
and
I
apologize
for
that.
I
want
to
communicate
to
the
residents
it's
going
to
be
well
worth
this
transition
period,
a
more
robust,
robust
solution,
easier
to
utilize
from
home.
I
mean,
if
you
mail
in
your
payments,
nothing's
going
to
change.
You
know
again.
L
We
have
a
well-trained
staff
that
can
walk
everyone
through
this
process.
We're
going
to
make
all
this
information
available
during
the
down
week
on
our
website.
There's,
there's
information
out
there
now
as
to
the
same
topic
that
we
just
went
through
a
press
release
is
coming
out,
we'll
be
sending
out
another
email
blast
to
everyone
and
try
to
keep
everyone
really
informed
as
we
go
through
this
process
and
be
available
for
any
phone
calls.
L
So
I'll
pause
now
to
see
if
there's
any
questions
related
to
our
transition
to
this
new
utility
billing
solution.
F
E
I
do
want
to
reiterate
that
online
billing
is
not
available,
4
30
on
friday
until
the
22nd
and
there's
no
late
fees.
L
That
is,
that
is
correct.
We
do
do
not
want
anyone
to
try
to
do
this
process
early.
You
need
your
new
account
number
before
you
can
do
your
any
kind
of
payments
via
the
online
portal,
so
we're
going
to
go
down
friday
afternoon
at
4
30.
The
old
portal
will
be
disconnected
at
that
time
and
then
on
the
23rd
we'll
be
live
with
the
new
one.
H
Yeah,
I
just
have
a
simple
question:
do
you
know
how
much
savings
overall?
This
will
provide
the
city.
L
But
the
offset
is
really
going
to
be
felt
over
the
shorter
term
related
to
driving
people
to
sign
up
for
paperless
the
longer
term
will
be
more
efficient
operations
from
staff,
and
that
kind
of
thing,
so
I
don't
have
a
concrete
number
related
to
savings.
Okay,.
D
D
E
This
is
an
exciting
presentation
with
an
action
item
that
comes
right
next
as
item
9c,
and
if
you
will
recall
that
you
know
it's
based
on
this
council's
vision,
to
increase
the
emphasis
on
asphalt,
concrete
streets
and
sidewalk
projects
for
the
city
and
we've
done
that.
E
One
thing
that
we
found
this
year
is:
we
saw
a
reduction
in
local
motor
fuel
tax
revenues,
which
is
the
primary
source
of
funding,
but
it's
one
where
this
council
and
it's
not
adopted
yet
in
the
budget,
but
it's
one
that
this
council
wanted
to
maintain
that
level
that
we've
promised
a
couple
years
ago
to
the
community
of
about
seven
million
dollars
in
total
projects
in
any
given
construction
season.
E
This
is
one
where
we
try
to
message
as
often
as
we
possibly
can.
The
website
that
we
created
a
couple
years
ago
was
updated
last
year
when
we
presented
year.
One
of
this
three-year
road
plan
we're
now
in
year
two
and
kevin
kothe,
the
public
works
director
and
his
team.
I
have
done
an
excellent
job
with
scoring
kevin's
about
to
share
that
and
talking
about
improving
some
of
the
efficiencies
in
our
relationship
with
the
contractor
to
get
more
bang
for
the
taxpayer
dollar.
N
Thank
you
c
manager,
gleason,
mayor
and
council.
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
here
with
you
and
walk
through
a
small
presentation
about
our
proposed
resurfacing
for
fy,
22
and
fy23.
N
As
we
get
started
with
this.
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
that
this
is
for
work
proposed
work
for
this
coming
summer.
This
does
not
include
work,
that's
already
under
contract.
So,
as
many
of
you
know,
the
fy
21
resurfacing
contract
is
not
finished,
yet
we
still
have
some
work
to
do
on
hershey
road
and
also
on
woodbridge
boulevard.
N
Those
streets
have
not
been
finished
yet,
but
once
the
spring
weather
sticks
around
a
little
bit
longer,
it's
a
beautiful
day
today,
but
it's
not
time
yet
for
the
asphalt
plants
to
get
into
production,
but
once
they
do,
we
will
be
expecting
rhode
to
finish
up
the
work
from
last
year's
contract.
So
this
resurfacing
this
year
is
just
focused
on
what
we'll
be
putting
under
contract
for
this
summer.
N
So
the
breakout
for
the
program,
as
mr
gleason
said,
really
we're
still
at
7.2
million
dollars
overall
project
and
the
way
that
splits
out
here
is
basically
five
million
for
resurfacing,
and
then
we
also
have
money
allocated
for
payment
preservation
and
for
our
emergency
multi-street
alley
and
sidewalk
repair
contract,
so
total
dollars
for
pavements
is
6
million
and
then
about
1.2
million,
also
for
the
sidewalks
and
ramp
work.
N
And
so
that's
what
you
see
on
the
other
parts
of
the
pie
chart
everything
from
the
sidewalk
and
ramp
work,
which
will
be
a
separate
contract
to
also
the
the
sidewalk
vertical
displacement,
which
is
a
very
effective
way
of
correcting
vertical
displacement
issues
for
a
much
more
effective.
You
know
as
many
as
three
to
five
times
more
effective
than
the
cost
to
replace
the
concrete
sidewalk.
So
we
we
try
to
utilize
the
available
funds.
N
The
best
we
can
to
make
the
dollars
go
as
far
as
possible
and
as
as
noted,
it's
really
the
same
same
type
of
dollars
as
last
year,
but
that
was
even
though
the
locomotor
fuel
tax
is
off
about
25
from
what
we
were
hoping
for.
N
So
with
the
streets
that
were
proposing
for
fy
22
and
fy
23,
the
map
was
in
your
council
packet,
and
this
is
a
slight
adjustment
from
some
of
the
streets
that
were
seen
for
the
fy
2021
fy22
map
and
some
of
those
streets
were
adjusted
by
moving
them
out
instead
of
22
to
23
in
in
a
one
case,
push
back
a
little
bit
further
because,
as
we
were
looking
for
efficiencies,
meaning
the
you
know,
contractor
is
much
more
cost
effective
when
they
can
do
a
longer
section
of
street
or
several
streets
that
are
adjacent
to
each
other.
N
We
realize
that
coming
up
in
the
fy
24
like,
for
instance
on
washington,
there's
some
longer
stretches
of
washington
that
are
going
to
be
coming
up
in
the
future
years.
So
we
move
that
section
of
washington
near
veterans
out
a
little
bit
further
to
to
match
up
with
those
other
washington
street
projects.
So
we
can
just
get
that
all
done
at
one
time.
N
N
The
resurfacing
of
veterans
from
from
washington
commerce,
we're
also
looking
at
our
local
streets
of
you
know
the
washingtons,
the
oaklands,
the
lincolns
and
trying
to
get
those
intersecting
streets
also
resurfaced,
and
we
had
originally
planned
on,
like
I
say
those
for
fy22,
we
moved
them
to
fy23.
N
For
a
couple
reasons,
and-
and
that's
what's
shown
on
your
map
here,
we
also
added
some
other
streets
that
weren't
shown
initially
on
the
fy
22
map
to
make
longer
stretches,
for
instance,
springfield
road.
We
we
tied
in
a
section
of
low
street
to
make
that
a
longer
stretch
and
be
more
efficient
with
our
money,
so
the
adjustments
made
in
general.
N
The
map
is
similar
to
what
you
saw
last
year,
but
the
adjustments
made
were
to
increase
efficiencies
and
get
the
most
bang
for
our
buck,
and
so
that's
a
an
overview
of
that
map.
The
process
that
we
go
through
for
the
street
selection-
this
is
very
similar
to
what
you
saw
last
year-
is
that
we
rate
our
payments
on
a
paiser
scale.
That's
one
through
ten,
ten
being
the
highest
brand
new
street
and
we've
been
doing
that
consistently
for
a
number
of
years.
N
We
then
use
that
input
is
into
our
optimization
software
decision.
Optimization
technology
is
the
software
we
used
for
the
first
time
last
year
and
again
this
year
and
and
that
combines
the
ratings
with
other
factors
such
as
the
functional
class
and
the
service
type,
the
surface
type
adt
and
and
analyzes
it
systematically
across
the
whole
city,
and
then
we
also
enter
in
budget
constraints.
As
we
know,
we
have
a
budget
to
work
within,
and
then
we
also
plug
in
some
other
considerations
for
infrastructure
improvements.
N
We
delayed
the
resurfacing
until
we
got
the
water
main
finished
on
sunset,
road
and,
and
you
know
now,
the
neighborhood
has
a
new
water
main
and
a
newly
resurfaced
road
and
it
looks
really
good,
and
so
we,
you
know,
look
for
those
opportunities
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
get
the
cart
in
front
of
the
horse
so
to
speak
by
resurfacing,
a
street
that
has
some
needed
utility
repairs
before
we
get
to
it.
N
So
those
are
some
of
the
reasons
that
we
might
move
the
streets
around
a
little
bit
just
to
make
sure
that
we
have
everything
in
the
proper
order
tonight,
as
as
part
of
the
presentation,
there'll
be
also
a
action
item.
Just
after
this
and
we're
gonna
ask
that
you
consider
waving
bids
again
this
year.
N
We
did
this
last
year
and
our
our
normal
bidding
process
does
take
a
little
bit
longer
than
if
we
just
negotiate
and
as
as
noted
in
the
council
memo
row,
which
is
a
division
of
ucm
united
contractors.
Midwest
they've
been
this
sole
bidder,
basically
from
2012
to
2019,
and
then
we've
also
negotiated
with
them
in
2009
2011
and
in
2020.
N
We're
asking
for
your
permission
to
do
that
again.
We
feel
that
not
only
does
the
does
the
process
go
quicker
to
get
this
awarded,
but
it
also
gives
us
that
opportunity
to
talk
with
the
contractor
and
and
discover
ways
to
improve
the
delivery
of
of
the
work
as
well
as
do
it
more
cost
effectively.
N
A
straight
out
bid
process
is
very
rigid,
and
while
they
can
ask
questions,
the
bidders
can
ask
questions,
there's
limited
amount
of
dialogue
back
and
forth
through
formal,
addendums
and
so
forth,
and
so
we
feel,
like
the
the
bid
waiver,
allows
us
some
more
opportunities
to
seek
the
getting
the
best
product
for
the
best
cost.
And
so
that's
that's
why
we
do
that.
N
It
currently
has
information
about
last
year's
program
on
it
because
we
still
haven't
finished
that
one
yet,
but
once
once
we
move
along
with
getting
the
list
of
streets
approved
here
tonight.
We
will
work
on
updating
that
with
current
information
for
the
upcoming
season
as
well
and
during
the
construction
process,
we
try
to
keep
the
information
current
as
to
what
streets
have
been
started.
N
What
streets
have
been
finished
and
it
can
be
a
great
resource
for
our
citizens
to
see
where
things
are
at
so
at
this
point,
I'll
open
it
up
for
comments
or
questions.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you
so
much
kevin
for
this
great
presentation.
I
just
was
wondering
what
kind
of
money
do
you
have
set
aside
for
emergencies,
like
in
case
the
street
caves
in
somewhere
or
all
the
potholes
we
have
or
raising
the
manholes
up
that
have
sunk.
N
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question:
we
we
use
several
different
resources
so,
depending
on
what
the
the
issue
is,
of
course,
you
know
potholes
and
permanent
pothole
patching
are
public
service
streets
and
sewers
division
they're
out
there.
You
know
working
to
fill
the
potholes
as
soon
as
they
get
reported
to
us,
as
well
as
in
the
summer,
doing
permanent
pothole
patching
and
they
also
do
concrete
panel
replacements.
N
We
also
have
some
utility
maintenance
contracts,
one
of
them
being
the
street
alley
and
sidewalk
repair
contract,
which
is
200
000.
That
gives
us
ability
to
go
fix
things
that
we
didn't
anticipate,
or
you
know
more
more
for
smaller
type
repairs,
but
then
we
also
have
if
it
is
a
issue
with
a
manhole
or
a
sewer,
we
have
a
utility
maintenance
contract
that
is
related
to
those
utilities.
So
those
repairs,
if
it
involves
a
sewer
or
manhole,
would
be
done
out
of
that
contract.
N
M
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
mr
kofi,
so
I
have
two
questions
and
the
first
is
is
just
related
to
how
you
make
a
determination
about
which
parts
of
town
get
priority,
and
I
just
would
appreciate
hearing
from
you.
You
know
if
there's
an
area
of
my
neighborhood
and
I'm
thinking
of
one
that
I've
already
written
to
you
about
today
is.
M
Is
there
a
way
for
representatives
and
our
constituents
to
get
feedback,
for
example,
on
where
they
might
fall,
especially
if
they're
disappointed
that
they're
not
seeing
evidence
that
their
streets
are
going
to
be
revisited
and
resurfaced
anytime
soon?
M
So
that's
my
first
question
and
my
second
question
is
in
reference
to
the
the
brick
streets
master
plan
that
was
passed
in
2017,
and
I
would
just
like
a
commitment
that
we
can
revisit
this
plan,
perhaps
in
conjunction
with
the
historic
preservation
commission,
given
where
we
are
now
in
the
reality
and
and
just
make
it
a
determination
going
forward
about
how
that's
going
to
work.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you,
councilmember
amy.
As
you
know,
the
software
that
we
use
the
decision
optimation
technology
software
is
is
not
looking
at
words.
It's
looking
across
the
entire
city,
all
our
streets,
all
our
infrastructure
and
making
recommendations
based
not
by
area
but
based
on
the
the
streets
and
the
volumes
and
the
whether
it's
a
collector,
arterial,
local
road
and
so
forth.
So
it's
kind
of
trying
to
balance
the
benefits
across
all
those
different
types
of
facilities,
and
so
it
really
is
not
looking
at
one
particular
award.
N
If,
if
one
area
the
city
feels
like
it,
it
gets
more
preference
in
one
year
versus
another,
that's
more
of
a
of
a
randomization
as
opposed
to
any
anything
deliberate
on
our
parts
to
select
certain
streets.
Now
we
do
try
within
neighborhoods
to
do
multiple
streets
while
we're
there,
just
because
of
the
mobilization
costs
our
our
contractor
is
moving
big
equipment
around
to
do
the
work
and,
and
that
mobilization
is
a
cost
factor
to
them.
So
we
can
get
more
done.
N
If
we're
you
know,
allow
them
to
have
their
equipment
on
the
ground
for
multiple
blocks
in
the
neighborhood.
So
we
do
try
to
group
where
we
can
that
to
get
those
efficiencies.
As
far
as
you
know,
years
out,
we
we
re-rate
the
streets.
We
we
try
to
look
at
every
street
at
least
once
every
three
years.
Some
we
look
at
maybe
a
little
bit
more
often
than
others.
N
If
it's
a
brand
new
street
or
newly
resurfaced,
we
don't
need
to
look
at
it
right
away,
but
we
try
to
get
that
eyes
on
the
ground,
reassessment
on
a
regular
basis
and
update
that
in
the
software,
because
we
know
that
you
know
the
winners
in
central
and
white
can
be
harsh
and
they
don't
do
any
favors
to
our
streets,
and
you
know,
for
whatever
reason:
streets
don't
always
perform
exactly
the
same
way,
and
so
where
one
street
might
might
look
like
it's
really
ragged
and
in
bad
shape.
N
It
might
actually
last
much
longer
than
another
street
that
had
looked
a
little
bit
better
a
few
years
before.
So
we
don't
want
to
project
out
way
too
far
in
the
future,
where
we
commit
to
a
street
that
you
know
is
actually
holding
together
where
another
one
fell
apart.
So
we
we
try
to
reevaluate,
you
know
with
the
software
where
those
priorities
need
to
be
so
it's
difficult
to
project
way
out
and
know
where
we
land
say
four
years
from
now.
N
The
software
will
do
it,
but
then
the
ratings
might
change
between
now
and
then
so
we
we
do
reevaluate
to
your
to
your
second
point
on
the
brick
street
master
plan.
That
is
something
that
we
should
be
revisiting.
Obviously
you
know
brick
streets
were
identified
as
as
something
that
bloomington
has
a
few
left
and
and
so
where
that
falls
in
terms
of
funding
and
priorities
and
and
how
we
can
do
that
needs
to
be
discussed
with
the
larger
group.
D
H
Yeah
thanks
kevin.
This
is
really
great.
I'm
always
glad
to
see
infrastructure
taken
care
of.
Could
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
preservation?
Have
you
changed
the
methodology
or
the
company
that
is
processing
that
right
now.
N
Yeah,
thank
you,
council.
Member
bolan.
I
didn't
speak
too
much
about
president
the
payment
preservation
night.
That
is
certainly
a
component
just
like
it
was
last
year
and
it
is
allocated
there.
We
have
not
put
that
information
together
as
far
as
what
streets
or
you
know
how
we'll
divvy
that
up,
but
at
this
point
we're
planning
to
use
the
some
of
the
same
products,
the
the
reclamite
really
has
not
been
controversial.
N
The
only
one
that
has
maybe
been
the
controversial
is
the
c85
and
we
will
be
putting
together.
You
know
the
streets
for
that
program.
We're
also
you
know
our
city
engineer.
Craig
shonkweiler
is
new
to
the
city.
He
has
he's
been
in
central
illinois.
N
He
was
a
city
engineer
for
urbana
for
a
number
of
years
and
in
bloomington
indiana,
and
we're
very
fortunate
to
have
him
on
staff
and-
and
he
has
some
good
ideas
that
he
would
like
to
try
here
for
pavement
preservation
as
well,
so
I
think,
there's
some
different
opportunities
as
we
move
forward,
not
only
with
using
the
vendors
we've
we've
been
using,
but
also
to
even
look
at
some
other
things,
and
at
this
point
we
have
money
allocated
for
that.
You
know
in
the
budget,
but
we
haven't.
N
We
haven't
worked
out
the
details
on
it.
Yet.
D
Just
just
to
if
I
could
clarify
that
before
we
move
on
you,
you
mentioned
kevin
reclinite
isn't
controversial,
for
who
I
I
tend
to
get
every
time
we
do
anything.
I
tend
to
get
at
least
some
pushback.
I
don't
mean
that
it's
inappropriate
or
it's
the
wrong
way
to
do
it.
But
what
do
you
mean
by
it's
not
controversial.
N
Well,
what
I
mean
mayor
is
that
the
the
reclamite
is
what
we
do
on
the
on
the
brand
new
streets.
It's
a
lighter
oil
that
goes
down.
We
don't
really
get
complaints
about
it.
We
have
had
complaints
about
the
c85
before
because
that
that
is
the
product
that
we
use
the
lime
screenings
on,
and
it
tends
to
create
dust
and
that
type
of
thing,
so
there
have
been
more
more
concerns
expressed
by
citizens
about
the
c85,
the
reclamite.
Really
we
don't
get
complaints
on
cool.
Thank
you.
So.
O
Yeah
so,
mr
cothie,
I
really
appreciate
the
the
presentation
and
particularly
as
a
newer
member
of
the
council,
it's
really
helpful
to
understand
the
process
that
you're
going
through.
I
would,
I
guess
I
would
put
in
a
word
for
not
completely
throwing
out
the
human
factor
in
terms
of
decision
making
about
which
streets
to
focus
on
when
I
appreciate
very
much
the
desire
to
to
be
as
objective
as
possible-
and
you
know
using
the
software
and
so
forth.
O
But
I
I
guess
the
thing
that
sort
of
catches
my
attention
is
that
the
reality
is.
I
avoid
certain
streets
because
they're
so
so
difficult
to
drive
on.
Frankly,
and-
and
I
could
imagine
that
that
could
affect
traffic
patterns-
and
you
know-
people
not
going
down
certain
streets
because
they're
they're
not
they're,
not
well
maintained,
and
so
I
I
would
hate
for
it
to
be
a
self-fulfilling
prophecy
that
a
particular
street
doesn't
get
any
traffic,
because
it's
not
well
maintained.
J
O
Therefore,
it's
not
well
maintained
because
it
doesn't
get
any
traffic
and
particularly
in
in
older
neighborhoods.
That's
that's
an
issue
for
us,
so
please
don't
throw
out
the
the
human
factor
and
I
hope,
moving
forward
we
can
have
have
you
know
public
input
taken
into
account
as
well.
D
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
councilmember
ward.
I
totally
agree,
and
I
just
want
to
re-emphasize
the
human
factor
in
addition
to
everything
else.
Councilman
ward
did
an
incredibly
effective
job
at
clarifying
that
I
almost
every
day,
maybe
not
every
day,
but
almost
every
day
in
one
of
my
latest
midlife
crisis
cars,
I
hit
a
pothole
or
several
and
I
think
damn
that
mayor
get
the
the
streets
fixed.
So
at
this
point
we're
going
to
move
to
council
member,
milo
wambley
and
then
council,
member
carrillo.
A
Sure,
thank
you
just
a
couple
of
things.
One
thank
you
kevin
for
a
very
you
know,
insightful
and
informative
presentation.
I
wanted
to
also,
I
guess
you
know
piggyback
on
what
councilmember
ward
said
about
the
human
factor.
I
think
it's
it's
very
important.
You
know,
although
we
try
to
be
as
objective
as
we
we
want
to
be,
but
you
know
you
also
have
to
remember
that
for
some
people
who
drive
on
the
same
street,
you
know
come
out
of
their
neighborhood
on
the
same
street.
A
If
that
street
is
not
fixed
after
five
six
years
or
something
like
that,
I
think
you
know
it
definitely
impacts
the
way.
They
view
the
kind
of
job
that
we're
we're
doing.
So
I
would
say
there
should
be
some
some
consideration
to
that.
You
know
so
that
we
can
figure
out
what's
the
best
way
to
to
address
their
their
concerns,
because
it
can
leave,
I
would
say,
a
bitter
taste
in
people's
mouth.
A
N
That's
a
hard
number
to
determine
exactly,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
we,
we
have
run
up
against
it
in
the
past,
and
you
know
when
we
talk
with
with
row
about
where
we
can
save
money,
that
that
is
one
of
the
things
that
they've
identified
time
again,
that
if
we
group
the
streets
together,
we
get
better
pricing
and
if,
if
we
make
them
run
all
over
town,
that
is
not
cost
effective
for
them
and
they
up
the
price
so
that
we've
heard
that
directly
from
the
contractor.
N
And
we
we
have
it's
been
a
number
of
years
ago.
But
even
when
tom
hamilton
was
still
here
as
the
city
manager,
there
was
a
time
where
we
had
to
go
back
with
with
row
even
after
the
contract
was
awarded
to
try
to
get
some
of
those
efficiencies
back
because
we
had
really
high
prices.
So
I
remember
that
from
a
number
of
years
ago,.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
then
the
last
thing
that
I
would
say
is
I
I'm
not
sure
I
try
to
look
at
the
website
to
see
how
things
are
structured
a
little
bit
so
bloomingtonstreets.com,
but
I
I
think
it
would
be
good
for
for
us
to
to
kind
of
keep
a
running
tab
of
all
the
streets.
You
know
that
we're
we're
doing
not
just
from
one
season
to
the
next,
but
several
seasons
all
together,
so
people
could
actually
see
the
volume
of
work,
that's
been
completed
and
I'm
not
sure
it
may
be
there.
A
But
I
you
know
just
you
know
at
a
quick
glance.
I
I
couldn't
I
couldn't
tell,
but
I
I
do
think
if
you
put
five
or
six
years
together,
I
think
it's.
It
really
shows
a
a
much
bigger
picture
of
what
you
know.
What
we're
doing.
D
A
Right
exactly
not
just
one
season,
because
I
can't
tell
from
the
website
that
it's
more
than
just
last
year
or
or
something
like
that.
D
And
then,
if
I
could
so
so,
that
would
just
indicate
what
has
already
been
done.
Is
that
what
you're
asking
for.
D
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you.
Councilmember
carrillo.
P
P
I
want
this
road
done
and
I
want
this
road.
Like
I
mean
it's,
the
thing
that
I
think
is
the
unifier
throughout
the
whole
city
that
people
want
to
see
their
streets
resurface.
I
think
that
the
so
like
the
past
human
involvement
had
not
been
totally
reliable.
P
But
I
totally
agree
with
council
member
ward
that,
like
some,
we,
the
pendulum
sort
of
swung
too
much
the
other
way,
and
so
I
mean
I
guess
rather
than
just
saying
you
know
how.
How
do
we
insert
some
human
element,
because
I
I
would
hate
for
that
to
be
to
go
back
to
being
decisions
that
are
made
without
public
input.
I
yeah
I'd
like
to
see
us
think
about
how
how
that
human
element
can
be
reinserted
into
this
process,
but
in
a
way
that's
really
open
and
transparent
and
out
in
the
public.
P
D
Thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
that
anything
else
that
I
can
see.
Thank
you
we're
gonna
go
at
this
point.
Oh
sorry,
we
need
a
oh
sorry,
okay,
midwest
contractors.
I'm
sorry
we
don't
need
a
motion.
B
D
D
E
All
right,
thank
you
mayor.
I
don't
have
anything
additional.
I
think
kevin
cued,
this
up
but
we'll
hand
it
over
to
him.
N
Kevin
you
hear
us.
Yes,
I
do
and
thank
you,
mr
gleason
yeah,
the
the
the
presentation
really
covered
everything,
and
I
appreciate
the
comments
that
feedback
from
the
council
and
we'll
take
that
under
advisement
and
see
what
we
can
do
to
may
incorporate
some
of
that
in
the
website
and
also
look
to
how
we
can
be
better
with
the
people
factor
and
transparency
for
for
next
year.
N
But
at
this
point
we'll
turn
it
back
to
you
mayor,
so
that
you
can
move
forward
with
the
resolution
and
the
motion.
D
Thank
you
very
much
thanks
kevin.
I
appreciate
that
at
this
point,
let
me
pull
the
map
over
here.
Do
we
have
any
do
we
have
a
motion.
D
Very
much
motion
to
prove,
as
presented
by
council
member
matthew
second
by
council
member
emic,
further
discussion
comments,
questions
I'm
looking,
madame
clerk.
Do
you
see
anybody.
D
Matt
go
ahead
and
call
the
roll
call.
Thank
you,
madam
clerk.
I
K
D
E
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council
and
and
for
the
bloomington
community.
This
is
an
exciting
night,
not
at
the
point
of
adoption.
Yet
this
is
truly
presenting
the
proposed
fy
22
budget
fiscal
year
may
1st
of
21
through
april
30th
of
22..
E
The
next
meeting
is
committee
of
the
hole
on
the
15th.
Nothing
will
occur
related
to
fy
22
at
that
meeting,
and
then
there
will
be
a
public
hearing
on
march
22nd
that
council
meeting
and
then
the
first
council
meeting
in
april.
That
is
scheduled
to
be
the
night
that
we
adopt
fy22
have
received
a
fair
amount
of.
E
I
guess
praise
positive
comments
from
those
in
the
community
about
this
process
that
started
a
couple
of
months
ago.
E
It
included
the
creation
of
a
video
library
that
we're
calling
budget
101
that
will
be
an
ongoing
document
that
can
be
updated
as
needed,
but
it's
a
good
document
for
you
know
one
has
these
different
sections
or
chapters
four
or
five
different
sections:
the
budget
presentations
that
scott
and
chris
tommerlin
are
budget
finance
or
I'm
sorry,
our
budget
manager
throughout
the
course
of
the
last
couple.
Two
and
a
half
months
have
created
those
are
posted
on
the
website
as
well.
E
We
try
to
message
this
as
much
as
we
possibly
can
in
media
interviews,
making
ourselves
available
and
very
excited
about
the
work.
That's
been
done,
proud
of
staff
proud
of
this
community.
That
has
put
us
in
a
position
that,
while
the
operating
budget
holds
very
similar
to
what
it's
been
in
the
past
couple
of
fiscal
years,
the
one
thing
that
we're
doing
and
it's
the
council's
vision
is
increasing
our
infrastructure,
and
I
know
that
we
say
it
and
we
say
it
this
way.
E
It's
not
the
sexiest
thing
in
the
world
to
talk
about
when
you're
talking
about
municipal
government
or
the
organization,
but
it's
something
that
truly
is
the
backbone
of
of
our
community
and
what
we
can
provide
in
terms
of
business
expansion
and
then
also
those
new
opportunities
and
the
trailing
opportunities
for
existing
businesses
here
in
the
community.
E
L
L
Stick
to
my
expertise,
so
this
is
an
official
component
of
our
budget
cycle
proposed
budget.
We
are
dictated
by
code
to
present
this
to
the
community
and
council
council
by
march
15th.
Of
course,
it
can
be
amended
before
the
adoption
on
april
12th.
L
The
theme
for
this
year's
budget
is
really
almost
one
of
status
quo,
but
I
almost
hate
to
say
it
or
put
it
in
a
context
of
that,
because
we
do
have
this
emphasis
emphasis
on
infrastructure,
nearly
60
million
dollars
in
infrastructure,
that
kind
of
shines
a
light
on
what
the
city
is
trying
to
provide
to
the
community
and
finding
a
way
in
this
times
of
cova,
to
bring
the
services
forth
that
are
needed
in
the
community.
So
next
next
screen,
please
phil.
L
So
it
is
a
city
city
record
to
250
million
dollars,
but
I
want
to
highlight
that
this
is
not
an
indication
of
an
expansion
or
a
growth
in
government.
L
The
20
million
dollar
increase
over
2021
is
all
related
to
capital
improvements
for
capital
projects.
Under
other
highlights,
you
can
see
our
capital
projects
total
nearly
60
million
dollars.
Without
that
you
know,
we'd
be
below
200
million
dollars
in
a
city-wide
budget,
so
a
year
over
year,
we'd
actually
be
down.
We
are
down
in
the
general
fund.
The
general
fund
again
is
is
the
largest
fund
of
our
corporate
or
our
city
structure,
financial
structure.
That's
the
fund
that
we
provide
our
general
services
out
of
such
as
public
safety
and
parks
and
rec.
L
It's
really
funded
primarily
with
tax
revenues
and
service
fees.
You
can
see
that
we
have
a
slight
decrease
of
1.2
million
dollars
there
and,
and
some
of
that's
related
to-
I
guess
most
of
it's
related
to
some.
What
we're
seeing
is
you
know
a
residual
impact
from
covid.
We
still
think
it's
prudent
to
go
into
next
year,
taking
that
into
account
next
slide.
Please.
L
Are
the
major
tax
revenues
settle
into
the
general
fund?
As
I
just
indicated,
we
think
it
is
prudent
to
go
into
next
year
considering
a
residual
impact
from
covet
19..
However,
these
are
not.
These
reductions
are
not
impacting
the
services
that
we're
being
able
to
provide.
L
L
Next
slide,
please
the
general
fund.
Again,
this,
the
general
fund
is
where
we
produce
the
services,
the
general
services
of
the
city,
such
as
public
safety
parks
and
rec.
All
the
administrative
departments
are
in
the
general
fund
for
revenues.
You
can
see
that
we
are
filling
our
budget
with
a
use
of
fund
balance
of
restricted
reserves
of
2.8
million.
This
is
for
the
pension,
public
safety
pensions
we're
having
to
dip
into
the
utility
tax
reserves
at
a
2.8
million
dollar
rate.
For
this
year,
pension
reserves
have
gone
up.
L
Two
million
dollars
related
to
some
negotiated
benefits
from
the
state
consolidation
and
some
more
mortality
rate
table
changes.
You
can
see
the
tax
line
down
3.8
million
over
the
prior
year
that
that
coincides
with
the
previous
exhibit
not
a
dollar
for
dollar,
as
some
of
those
tax
revenues
are
not
highlighted
in
that
previous
exhibit
one
point:
almost
2
million
decrease
in
total
revenue
year
over
year
for
the
general
fund
next
slide,
please
general
fund
expenses.
You
can
see
that
we've
done.
L
L
We
have
a
large
vacancy
savings,
we're
realizing
every
year.
So,
given
the
history
of
that,
we've
begun
to
incorp
begin
to
incorporate
that
into
our
budget
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
capital
expenditures,
we've
we've
added
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
cash
for
equipment
instead
of
allocating
that
to
the
capital
lease
to
try
to
maintain
our
trajectory
towards
weaning
ourselves
off
the
capital
equipment
lease,
the
borrowing
for
equipment.
L
L
This
is
a
new
exhibit
for
the
evening.
This
highlights
our
general
fund
by
functional
area
so
that
the
community
can
see
in
the
general
fund
of
the
109
million
dollars.
What
are
the
primary
components
of
that?
So
I'll
just
run
down
this
list
quickly
and
walk
through
the
comparisons
over
prior
year.
The
administrative
department-
that's
not
a
department.
Administrative
category
includes
administration,
city
manager,
legal
finance,
hr
the
clerk's
office.
L
We
have
a
649
000
increase
over
the
prior
year,
some
of
that's
related
to
increased
expenditures
in
it.
Some
of
it's
related
to
increased
expenditures
in
utility,
billing,
related
card
fees
and
invoice
cloud.
Those
do
get
passed
on
are
allocated
to
the
enterprise
funds,
so
some
of
that
is
kind
of
a
wash
for
the
general
fund,
a
public
safety.
This
is
our
fire
and
police
departments,
including
the
communication
center
for
police,
a
2.1
million
dollar
increase.
L
Most
of
that
is
related
to
the
pension
increase
that
I
just
referred
to
I'll
skip
down
a
couple
to
public
works.
We
actually
have
a
decrease
in
that
category
of
over
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars.
These
are
all
related
to
commodity
decreases.
L
Projected
from
our
managers
in
the
public
works
department,
asphalt
and
concrete
839
000
decrease
in
the
transfer
okay,
so
the
transfer
is
related
to
the
major
tax
revenues
depositing
into
the
general
fund,
so
home
rule
sales
tax,
our
local
motor
fuel
tax,
the
asphalt
and
concrete
gets
100
of
the
local
motor
fuel
tax.
It
gets
10
of
the
home
rule
sales
tax.
So,
since
we're
budgeting
decreases
in
those
revenue
categories
for
next
year,
there's
a
decrease
in
the
transfer
to
that
fund.
L
Now
we
are
keeping
the
expenditures
in
that
fund
at
the
7.2
million
that
kevin
cothy
just
referred
to.
We
have
some
fund
balance
in
that
fund.
We
try
to
maintain
fund
balance
in
that
fund,
as
our
expenditures
usually
occur
early
in
the
year
and
the
revenue
comes
in
later,
but
we
are
going
to
alloc
or
budget
the
full
expenditures
going
in
and
we
think
that
is
what's
needed
for
the
community
to
maintain
our
road
infrastructure.
L
A
capital
improvement
fund
transfer
we're
not
doing
any
transfer
this
year.
We
do
have
fund
balance
in
that
capital
improvement
fund,
so
that
helped
us
out
tremendously
for
the
general
fund
that
we
did
not
have
to
transfer
dollars
into
the
capital
improvement
fund
and
still
we're
going
to
be
able
to
address
capital
projects
within
that
fund.
L
L
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
some
of
the
general
fund
departments
actually
kind
of
provide
revenues
related
to
their
fees
and
kind
of
help
pay
for
themselves.
So
for
public
safety,
you
can
see
the
the
gross
expenditures
budgeted
for
the
year
58.6
million,
but
the
net
is
52.1
the
revenues
coming
into
the
public
safety
category
of
primary
ambulance
fees
of
over
five
million
dollars
and
then
for
police
department.
We
have
towing
resource
officers,
officers
for
the
schools,
it's
about
a
200
thousand
dollars
each
just
to
highlight
a
couple
other
ones.
L
Economic
development
goes
from
5.2
million
down
to
3.6
million.
This
is
primarily
related
to
construction
permits
and
then
parks
and
rec
the
11.7
million
dollars
in
total
expenditures
for
the
year.
But
you
can
see
that
net
of
revenues-
it's
really
6.6
million.
That's
a
5.2
million
dollar
revenue
resource
for
that
category.
L
You
can
see
the
departments
that
bring
in
significant
revenues
ice
the
zoo,
the
programs
themselves,
aquatics
bcpa,
the
hockey
the
bloomington
ice.
That's
one
of
the
departments
that
actually,
in
some
years,
pays
for
itself.
They
do
very
well
there
next
slide.
Please!
This
is
the
general
fund,
total
expenditures
or
total
budget
by
functional
area.
You
can
see
public
safety
at
58.6
is
a
larger
component
of
the
general
fund.
Next
slide.
Please.
L
City
wide
budget
same
exhibit
that
we've
used
in
the
last
couple
of
presentations,
highlighting
the
use
of
fund
balance
is
the
use
of
our
reserves.
Accumulated
reserves,
a
change
of
16
million
dollars.
You
can
see
in
the
notes
that
13.5
is
related
to
motor
fuel
tax
projects.
11.7
million
of
the
full
34.6
million
dollars
is
related
to
water
projects
and
then
skipping
halfway
down
miscellaneous
revenue.
L
You
can
see
a
significant
increase
in
the
budget,
but
that's
primarily
due
to
our
placeholder
for
borrowing
for
o'neill
pool
I've
mentioned
before
that
we
use
cash
accounting
when
it
comes
to
our
budget
process,
even
if
we're
borrowing
for
needs,
we
show
that
as
revenue
as
opposed
to
a
liability
and
the
same
for
expenditures
on
fixed
assets
and
things
of
nature,
that
would
normally
hit
on
the
balance
sheet
those
hit
expenses
so
that
we
can
visibly
see
the
dollars
coming
in
and
dollars
going
up
next
slide.
Please.
L
Citywide
expenses:
I
want
to
highlight
salaries
as
I've
done
in
the
past.
It
actually
shows
a
decrease.
This
is
related
to
bringing
the
management
of
the
arena
the
entertainment
side
of
the
arena
in-house
to
the
parks
and
rec
department,
so
900
000
of
seller
expense
that
was
in
the
venue
works,
but
it
was
still
part
of
the
city
budget
was
removed.
L
We
added
four
contractual
employees
in
the
contractuals
line,
but
even
with
that,
you
can
see
there's
only
just
a
modest
increase
on
that
line
of
106
capital
expenditures
fairly
large
increase
year
over
year,
21.4
million
all
of
our
capital
projects.
We've
been
discussing
jumping
down
to
the
bottom.
You
can
see
the
year-over-year
total
expenditures
have
gone
up
by
20
million,
so
in
effect
that
capital
expenditure
line
is
really
what's
driving
the
increase
year
over
year
and
without
that
we'd
be
we'd,
be
at
a
lower
budget
in
22
as
compared
to
21.
L
next
slide,
please.
This
is
another
new
exhibit
for
the
evening,
highlighting
the
city-wide
budget
by
fund.
So,
as
with
the
general
fund,
we
described
it
by
department
most
fun.
Other
funds
within
the
city
are
not
structured
in
a
departmental
breakdown
other
than
the
water
fund.
So
when
we
look
at
the
city-wide
budget,
we
organize
it
by
fund.
So
you
can
see.
The
general
fund
is
109
million.
That's
43.5
percent
of
the
total
city-wide
budget
down
one
point:
almost
two
million
dollars
we've
discussed
and
then
you
can
see
the
individual
fund
increases
down
the
list.
L
A
solid
waste
had
a
399
000
increase
related
to
some
of
their
disposal
fees,
recycling
fees,
those
actually
jumped
on
us
a
year
or
so
ago,
but
those
are
increasing
this
year,
they're
leases,
it's
a
equipment,
heavy
need
in
the
solid
waste,
so
their
their
lease
expenditures
are
going
up
as
well,
and
then
I
also
wanted
to
comment
on
the
grocer
motors
arena.
Excuse
me:
the
arena
has
an
increase
of
120
000..
Now
that's
two
divisions
in
that
in
that
fund.
Basically,
the
building,
slash
maintenance,
side
and
the
entertainment
side.
L
The
entertainment
side
is
actually
realizing
a
245
000
net
decrease
related
to
bringing
the
management
in-house
to
parks.
That's
what
we're
projecting
for
2022,
so
that
increase
is
related
to
the
maintenance
of
the
building.
It's
an
aging
structure
and
the
maintenance
costs
are
getting
higher
and
higher,
and
then
the
final
fund
that
we'll
highlight
is
actually
several
funds:
our
internal
service
funds,
our
insurance
funds.
L
This
is
the
way
we
account
for
our
insurance
activity.
It's
paid
out
of
individual
funds,
this
kind
of
grosses
up
our
budget,
because
we
we
charge
the
other
funds
for
these
for
the
health
insurance
premiums.
L
You
know
the
water
fund,
the
sewer
fund
for
the
employees,
that's
so
this
basically
ends
up
being
a
revenue
and
the
internal
service
fund,
and
then
those
expenditures
or
those
payments
are
made
to
the
insurance
providers
out
of
those
internal
service
funds-
and
you
can
see,
we've
got
a
pretty
material
increase
of
about
1.2
million,
primarily
related
to
increases
in
health
insurance.
Clocks.
Next
slide,
please.
L
L
During
the
president,
previous
presentation,
we
had
the
directors
come
up
and
speak
to
the
individual
projects
within
all
the
separate
funds.
So
this
is
just
a
summary.
You
can
see
the
fy
22.
We
have
the
59.9
million
dollars
in
total
capital
expenditures,
and
then
you
can
see
the
difference.
L
L
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
the
information
that's
available
related
to
the
individual
projects,
I'm
not
going
to
speak
to
these
projects,
but
I
wanted
to
give
the
community
an
indication
as
to
what
information
we
provide
and
the
level
of
detail
that
our
director
is
going
to
when
planning
these
projects.
This
information
is
in
the
second
book
of
the
of
the
budget
volumes
which
is
posted
online.
L
Now
there
there
are
pictures,
graphical
representations
of
the
projects,
there's
write
up
if
it's
a
multi-year
project,
it
shows
the
expenditures
that
are
expected
over
the
next
couple
of
years,
a
few
years
depending
on
how
long
the
project's
gonna
last.
This
is
the
capital
improvement
fund.
The
constitutional
trail
extension
a
little
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
this
project
next
slide,
please,
the
state
motor
fuel
tax,
the
largest
project,
the
hamilton
road
bun
street
to
morsi
drive
a
little
over
11
million
dollars
for
this
project.
L
Next
slide,
please
water,
fun,
capital
projects
and
there's
an
exhibit.
There's
details
like
this
on
every
project.
If
you're
curious
to
see
the
need
and
the
extent
of
the
project
itself,
the
fort
jesse,
ground,
storage,
tanks,
one
and
two-
I
just
have
a
picture
of
one
here.
It's
a
six
point:
two
million
dollar
project
slightly.
L
Sewer
capital
projects,
the
gray,
avenue
sanitary
sewer
a
little
over
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
project
next
slide,
please
and
then
you're
the
arena.
This
is
the
rooftop
units.
These
are
the
hvac
units.
On
top
of
the
arena,
they're
very
large,
I
think
they're
like
about
the
size
of
a
trailer
on
the
back
of
a
semi.
L
This
is
just
highlighting
the
deterioration
that's
occurring
there
in
the
in
the
kind
of
documentation
that
is
done
when
a
budget
request
is
put
in
the
next
slide,
please
I
won't
go
through
all
these,
but
I'm
trying
I'd
like
to
kind
of
bring
to
life.
You
know
the
budget,
what
the
budget
dollars
mean
to
the
community
and
and
what
some
of
the
touch
points
to
the
community
related
to
these
these
all
these
dollars.
L
These
large,
you
know
buckets
that
we
we
talk
about
so
easily,
sometimes
well,
you
can
see
this
is
of
the
last
12-month
data
that,
for
we
have
for
these
these
categories.
This
a
lot
of
this
information
is
available
in
our
annual
audit
in
the
statistical
section,
but
the
police
they
they
service,
50
over
56
000
calls
in
one
year
fire
over
11
000..
You
can
see
that
parks
with
that
budget.
The
the
numbers
of
attendees
they've
had
related
to
their
different
programs.
L
L
You
know
just
to
highlight
a
couple
more:
you
know
the
trash
and
recycling
hall,
24
000
tons,
48.4
million
pounds
of
trash
and
recycling.
Now
that's
quite
an
undertaking,
but
that's
that's
what
the
actual
budget
dollars
are
doing
for
the
community,
the
sewer
and
water
system.
You
know
1100
miles
are
maintained
in
administration.
You
know
the
previous
presentation
I
did
this
evening
talked
about
30
000
utility
billing
accounts,
we're
producing
360,
000
utility
bills
and
related
payments.
L
L
So
next
steps
I
mentioned
that
the
budget,
the
books
are
online
as
we
speak
at
cblm.org,
slash
budget,
there's
two
books:
I've
given
some
some
indication
here,
we've
given
some
indication,
you
know
if
you
want
to
just
get
a
real
high
level
sense
of
the
budget.
You
know
some
some
good
sections
to
look
at
is
the
budget
overview
section
book,
one
year-over-year,
summary
of
revenues
and
expenditures
book,
two,
the
capital
improvement
section.
You
know
what's
going
to
be
going
on
in
the
city
to
ensure
that
our
infrastructure
stays
intact.
L
You
know,
there's
there's
all
that
information.
I
was
just
going
over
the
detail
and
all
the
projects,
a
list
of
the
projects
and
then
both
the
books
include
department
and
fund
narratives.
So
what
are
the
challenges
for
each
department?
What
are
they
looking
to
accomplish
in
the
coming
year?
So
some
of
that
background
information
is
what's
going
to
be
occurring
and
as
a
senior
manager
mentioned,
you
know
additional
resources.
We
have
the
budget,
101
series,
video
series,
our
end,
believe
it
or
not
our
audit,
our
comprehensive
annual
financial
report,
the
back
section.
I
L
Things
of
that
nature
and
all
these
can
be
found
on
our
website,
so
want
to
highlight.
There's
information
out
there.
L
Just
you
know,
try
to
take
it
a
bite
at
a
time
it
can
be
overwhelming
by
the
volume.
But
you
know
look
at
the
table
the
table
of
contents
and
look
for
stuff
that
might
interest
you
and
hopefully
it'll,
be
helpful
in
understanding
the
financial
structure
of
the
city.
As
the
senior
manager
mentioned,
we
have
a
proposed
public
budget
public
hearing
march
22nd
and
then
the
final
adoption
on
the
12th.
D
K
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
so
much
for
this
presentation.
Scott,
it's
very
thorough-
and
you
know,
as
you
mentioned,
these
slides
are
not
new
to
us
in
large
part,
appreciate
the
work
that
you've
done
and
the
presentations
and
the
information
you've
given
us
all
along
the
way,
because
it
is
a
lot
to
absorb,
and
so
I
appreciate
the
thoroughness
and
what
you've
done
that
and
you've,
given
us
opportunities
for
all
kinds
of
interaction
and
discussion
over
these
last
several
months.
K
K
We
see
that
we
have
a
20
million
dollar
increase
in
the
budget
year
over
year,
and
so,
as
I
took
my
notes
over
the
months
that
we've
talked
about
this
and
and
we've
consensed
about
where
our
priorities
lie.
There
were
three
things
that
that
I'd
that
I'm
going
to
say
back
to
my
constituents,
but
I
want
you
to
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
so
the
three
things
that
I
think,
I'm
going
to
say,
are
your
20
million
dollars.
K
Your
increase
are
going
to
an
increase
in
taking
care
of
water,
taking
care
of
our
roads
and
then
replacing
a
vital
piece
of
recreation
and-
and
you
know,
life
quality
over
in
o'neill
pool
are
the?
Would
those
be
the
three?
L
No,
I
I
think,
you've
captured
it.
I
mean
our
roads
expenditures
if
you
include
like
the
motor
fuel
attacks
as
part
of
the
roads,
I
mean,
because
that
is
kind
of
road
related.
Our
asphalt
and
concrete
are
steady,
but
we've
increased
significantly
the
state
motor
fuel
tax,
so
water
and
pool
spot
on
roads.
Yes,
I
agree,
but
I
just
wanted
to
throw
in
a
little
caveat
there.
H
Yeah
I'd
like
to
thank
scott
for
all
the
work,
the
hours
and
the
staff
that
does
all
the
preparation
prior
to
dumping
it
on
scott,
to
figure
out
how
to
put
it
together,
and
I
do
like
the
way
it
is
presented
not
only
to
the
council
but
to
the
community.
I
think
it's
very
important.
The
transparency
that
you've
put
forward.
D
P
You,
yes,
I
can
hear
you.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
go
ahead,
so
scott,
just
a
quick
question
to
make
sure
that
I'm
not
getting
my
math
wrong
here.
So
I
know
that
I
had
shared
some
questions
around
the
the
police
budget.
P
If
approved,
this
proposed
budget
would
result
in
over
30
million
dollars
spent
on
police
in
fiscal
year.
22
is
that
is
that
correct.
P
P
Oh
got
it
okay,
and
and
what
percentage
of
the
overall
budget
is
that.
P
Okay,
gotcha
so
yeah,
so
I
I
guess
I
have
a
a
a
question,
something
I
want
to
raise
to
fellow
council
members
and
then
ask
for
the
city
manager.
P
It's
I
was
reflecting
on
this
and
it's
a
little
hard
to
believe
because
it
feels
like
we've
lived
in
a
time
warp
forever,
but
it
has
been
less
than
a
year
since
george
floyd
was
killed
by
the
minneapolis
police
and
you
know
I
think
a
lot
of
folks
want
to
say
that
that
was
an
isolated
incident
that
doesn't
have
anything
to
do
with
us.
P
Nonetheless,
cities
across
the
united
states
started
looking
at
their
police
budgets
as
a
response
to
this,
and
you
know
I
heard
many
folks
around
the
diocese
at
the
time
you
know
say:
black
lives
matter
say
that
they,
you
know,
expressed
disapproval
of
what
had
happened
to
mr
floyd,
and
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
have
part
two
of
that
conversation
so
just
prior
to
moving
forward
with
the
budget.
P
I'd
like
to
ask
that
we,
as
a
council
have
a
conversation
about
what
this
increase
in
the
police
budget
means.
What
role
we
play
in
perpetuating
or
disrupting
institutional
racism
and
what
role
we
want
to?
We
see
ourselves
playing
in
the
police
reform
movement
overall.
That
has
picked
up
traction
in
the
last
number
of
years.
P
So
I
just
don't
want
us
to
sign
off
on
another
increase
to
the
police
budget,
which,
I
think
is
already
you
know,
makes
up
a
pretty
sizable
amount
of
our
overall
budget
without
first
having
a
serious
conversation,
that's
anchored
around
the
budget.
I
think
we
owe
it
to
our
constituents
all
of
our
constituents,
but
especially
to
our
black
constituents
and
our
constituents
of
color,
and
so
you
know,
I
also
you
know.
As
I
was
listening
to
kevin
in
the
previous
piece.
P
You
know
I
was
thinking
about
how
much
time
we've
spent
and
the
level
of
detail
that
we
have
gotten
in
terms
of
a
breakdown
of
budgets
and
and
different
projects
that
we're
looking
at,
and
it's
occurred
to
me
that
we
just
have
never
heard
a
similar
presentation
from
the
police
department.
P
So
I
know
that
I'm
hungry
for
that
information
and
a
number
of
people
are
as
well,
because
I
it
just
doesn't
feel
fair
to
have
a
com.
I
mean
I
have
a
lot
of
questions
that
I'd
like
to
ask
about
it,
particularly
as
I
now
have
the
numbers
in
front
of
me,
but
it
doesn't
feel
feel
like
a
fair
conversation
to
have,
without
interim
chief
scott,
on
the
line
to
to
be
able
to
speak
on
behalf
of
his
department,
so
yeah
open
to
how
we
want
to
handle
it.
D
Well,
thank
you
jen.
I
appreciate
that
just
to
to
interject
and
happy
to
defer
to
the
city
manager
if
he
wants
to
add,
but
we
have
obviously
had
lots
of
very
tense
situations,
not
just
within
our
community
within
our
culture
that
we
had
the
george
floyd
since
incident,
I'm
sorry.
Last
summer
it
was
no
decent
human
being,
regardless
of
their
race,
their
creed,
their
religion,
muslim,
christian,
jewish,
hindu,
whatever
that
might
be.
That
was
that
was
horrible,
and
that's
something
that
we
have
to
work
for.
We.
D
H
I
can
hear
you
I
I'm
unmuted.
I
believe
that
that
there
was
a
question
asked
of
city
manager,
gleason
so
I'd.
Let
him
answer
that
and
then
I
will
speak.
D
H
E
Yeah,
it
really
becomes
the
wish
of
the
council.
We
have
20
minutes
allotted
for
discussion
about
the
entire
fy22
budget.
That's
been
proposed.
If,
at
this
point
the
budget
process,
we
want
to
take
a
deeper
dive
into
the
material
that
has
been
presented.
That's
entirely
the
wish
of
the
council.
I
do
have
some
comments.
I
know
I
did
not
ask.
C
E
Police
chief
greg
scott
to
join,
but
I
think
I
can
handle
any
questions
related
to
the
police,
budget
or
other
departments
for
that
matter.
P
Yeah,
I
guess
it's
just
a
question
of
of
whether
we
can
actually
I
mean
I
think
you
had
said
that
during
the
committee
of
the
whole
we
weren't
planning
on
looking
at
at
anything
budget
related.
I
don't
know
whether
that's
we
can
carve
out
some
space
to
have
the
conversation
there,
so
folks
can
be
more
more
prepared,
and
so
the
chief
can
be
there.
If
this
is
going
to
be
our
only
opportunity,
then
I'm
I'm
happy
to
ask
my
questions,
but
I
just
wanted
to
to
put
that
out
as
an
option.
D
Let
me
just
suggest
we,
the
the
this
is
not
the
only
opportunity
for
you
or
other
members
of
the
council
to
ask
questions
about
the
budget
or
the
process
before
during
or
after
it's
developed.
I
think
we're
we're
kind
of
about
10
months
into
the
process.
So
what
ever
you
want
to
ask
is
still
quite
appropriate
at
this
point,
I
see
councilmember
matthew
go
ahead.
H
Thank
you,
jamie.
I'm.
D
H
H
H
Anyway,
I
don't
know
where
to
start
here
the
process
for
the
doing
the
budget.
H
As
I
understand
it
begins
in
august,
maybe
where
the
departments
start
evaluating
every
all
their
needs
and
and
such
and
as
alderman
alderwoman
carrillo
said,
the
incident
with
george
floyd
happened
in
august,
and
it
would
seem
to
me
that
it
would
have
been
appropriate
to
maybe
bring
forward
this
kind
of
discussion.
So
there
could
be
time
for
the
council
and
the
department,
the
police
department,
to
discuss
the
kind,
this
kind
of
well
to
discuss
the
topic.
H
If
the
budget
is
due
to
be
passed
by
april
30th,
I
don't
see
a
whole
lot
of
time
to
make
major
adjustments.
We've
had
ample
opportunity
for
input.
It's
been
presented
to
to
us
multiple
times,
both
in
private,
in
the
three-on-ones
and
in
public.
At
these
meetings
and
to
me
this
is
a.
H
I
I
think
my
comments
echoed
donna's
quite
a
bit
that
what's
being
talked
about
from,
is
more
policy
change
on
how
we
move
forward
with
policing
in
the
community
and
what
that
looks.
Like
that's
more
substantive
conversation
than
just
talking
about
the
budget.
I
I
I
don't
know
that
we
have
enough
time
to
get
through
and
process
through
completely
changing
policy
in
that
nature,
when
you
know
we're
this
close
to
the
end
of
the
budget,
I
think
that's
something
that
could
have
been
brought
forward
a
long
time
ago
or
even
started
when
we
started
having
these
budget
presentations
in
january.
I
You
know
we
we
could
have
had
a
lot
more
time
now
we're
down
to
the
end
of
the
wire
I'm
happy
to
have
those
conversations
I'm
going
to
be
on
the
council
for
next
year
and
well
at
least
next
year
as
well.
So
I'm
perfectly
happy
to
have
these
conversations.
I
encourage
us
to
talk
about
those.
It
just
seems
that
this
is
a
more
subsidized
conversation
than
we're
gonna
cram
in
in
one
meeting
next
week
for
committee
of
the
whole
in
order
to
change
how
we
structure
the
police
budget.
K
K
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
I
attended
virtually
a
community
discussion
that
was
hosted
by
pscrb
and
correct
me
if
I'm
mistaking
that
city
manager,
please
if
you
know,
but
you
know,
we
had
a
community
conversation
among
multiple
stakeholder
groups,
including
our
interim
chief
scott,
and
you
know
that
was
very
much
you're,
tailored
to
our
experience
in
bloomington
how
our
police
are
delivering
those
services
and
how
the
companion
resource
groups
are
weaving
together,
their
response
to
calls
and
the
like-
and
it
was
my
understanding
coming
out
of
that
panel-
that
there
was
no
call
for
any
such
reduction
of
police
resources,
because
those
resources
were
considered
valuable
and,
in
fact,
let's
face
it.
K
We
have
some
directives
coming
out
of
springfield
telling
us
that
we've
got
to
spend
more
money
on
police
and
equipment,
to
enhance
the
transparency
and
make
sure
that
they're
doing
you
know
have
the
resources
they
need
to
do
the
job
that
we
want
them
to
do.
So,
just
this
idea
of
of
just
cutting
police
due
to
some
political
agenda,
just
really
isn't
a
match
for
what
bloomington
is
experiencing.
K
I
think
that
that's
just
a
fair
statement
of
where
how
our
community
worked
the
issue
up
to
date.
Don't
don't
think
that
that's
a
you
know
dispositive
working
of
any
issue
things
things
are
dynamic,
but
to
think
that
today,
that
we
think
we
need
to
have
more
conversation,
I'm
not
I'm
not
seeing
it
this
time.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
so
much
council
member,
milo
lomboy.
Thank
you.
A
Yes,
thank
you.
I
I
I
guess
I'm
I'm
going
to
agree
with
some
of
what's
been
said
already.
Is
that
I
I
I
feel
like
this.
This
is
it
happens
at
a
at
a
time.
That's
that's
a
little
bit
too
late.
A
We
we,
we
only
have
about
a
a
month,
a
month
and
a
half
and
to
me
some
of
the
police
functions
which
are
you
know,
it's
public
safety,
and
it
is
something
that
I
I
take
very
seriously
and
I
and
I
do
think
if
you're
going
to
have
these
kinds
of
conversations
you
you,
you
need
to
fully
understand
what
the
ramifications
of
what
would
be
proposed
in
terms
of
changes
and
how
it
impacts.
A
You
know
people
in
the
community,
you
know
you,
you
heard
scott
raffan
in
his
great
presentation,
talk
about
the
fact
that
the
police
handles
you
know.
55
000
calls.
So
you
know
what
would
happen.
You
know
if
we
were
to
make
some
changes.
I
you
know
at
this
particular
time.
What
would
happen
to
those
calls?
You
know
where?
Where
do
those
go?
You
know
who
handles
those.
You
know
I
I
do
think
we
we.
A
We
do
need
to
you
know
it's
not
something
that
we
can
have
a
discussion
about
in
in
a
month
and
a
half.
You
know,
I
just
don't
think
that's
the
that
is
the
the
right
way
to
to
go
about
things,
and
I
would
say
you
know
yes,
I
you
know
I
like
what
happened
to
george
floyd
was
was
terrible
was
unfortunate,
but
we
we.
A
We
have
to
be
sure
that
if
we're
talking
about
something
we're
talking
about
what
happens
in
bloomington,
you
know
and
we
we
cannot,
we
cannot
conflate
what
happened
other
places
with
what
is
happening
in
in
in
bloomington.
So
I
you
know
for
that
reason
to
me.
I
I
don't
think
this
would
be
the
right
time
to
to
have
this
conversation.
D
P
I
mean,
I
guess
you
know
back
to
this
question
about
what's
happening
locally.
I
think
that
we
have
you
know.
P
We've
had
multiple
reports
come
out
in
the
last
number
of
years
about
use
of
force,
about
different
outcomes
for
for
different
people
of
different
races
in
terms
of
our
policing
and
the
way
that
they
receive
it,
and
so
that
is
that's
local
and
to
continue
to
put
money
into
that
without
questioning
without
questioning
it
is
us
essentially
continuing
to
co-sign
on
that,
and
I
mean
this
is
not
an
issue
that
I
own
anybody
could
have
had
this
conversation
ever.
P
Anybody
could
have
brought
this
up
at
any
point
since
george
floyd
before
that,
so
I
don't.
I
don't
understand
why
it's
like
oh
well,
jen.
Why
are
you
bringing
this
up
now,
like
every
single
one
of
us
has
a
responsibility
to
be
accountable
for
what
is
happening
in
our
city
and
any
person
that
was
paying
attention
this
past
year
should
have
been
grappling
with.
What
are
we
going
to
do
moving
forward
in
terms
of
how
we
fund
the
police
and
how
police
operate
in
our
communities?
So
I
mean
the
onus.
P
Is
not
on
me
and
I
I'm
proposing
that
we
actually
have
a
conversation
about
it.
People
are
gonna
vote
on
the
budget,
we're
gonna
vote
on
the
budget
regardless,
but
there
is
no
reason
that
we
shouldn't
have
a
detailed
look
about
what
is
being
proposed.
I
guess
I'll
also
say
that
this
is
the
first
day
that
we
actually
have
an
official
budget
proposed
that
we
can
comment
on.
So
that's
what
I'll
say.
D
D
We
can't
cut
our
pension
obligations,
we
can't
cut
lots
of
things,
and
so
this
is
the
kind
of
thing
we
should
really
have
been
talking
about
a
year
or
more
ago,
last
summer,
after
george
floyd
whatever,
but
it
doesn't
mean
you
can't
have
it
now.
Of
course,
please
don't
misunderstand
me
it
just
it's
it's
harder
to
have
it
now,
because
I
don't.
I
could
not,
as
a
mayor,
I'm
telling
you
I
I
would
have
to
veto
any
change
in
the
budget
that
was
not
clear,
precise
and
surgical,
we're
about
ready
to
wrap
this
up.
D
O
Yeah
so
thanks,
but
I
actually
would
defer
to
council
member
emig
because
I
think
she's
been
waiting
the
longest
and
then
I
would.
I
think
I
was
next
and.
D
M
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah
I
unmuted
successfully,
so
I
think
I
think
that
that
there
are
two
questions
on
the
table
and
they're
getting
conflated.
One
is
is:
is
the
discussion
even
needed
right?
Is
it
worth
having
this
conversation
about
our
priorities
and
and
the
relationship
between
the
police,
department
and
the
community
and
how
that
does
influence
budgeting
and
policy?
M
And
then
the
second
question
is
whether
or
not
we
would
make
a
change
on
this
year's
budget,
and
I
I
would
like
to
keep
those
separate,
because
I
do
think
it's
worth
having
the
conversation
and
I
do
hold
myself
accountable
as
as
is
important
in
terms
of
thinking
through
what
I
I
can
do
to
to
be
a
better
servant
for
this
community.
M
So
I
would
propose
that
we
think
about
how
this
could
become
an
initiative
or
a
way
of
examining
the
nature
of
the
needs
in
this
community.
How
they're
being
addressed?
What
are
the
multiple
ways
of
funding?
I
mean
it
almost
sounds
like
it
could
be
a
task
force
or
a
commission,
or
some
anointed
body
from
this
council
to
create
some
data-based
concrete
proposals
going
into
next
year.
Next
fiscal
cycle,
so
that
we
can,
you
know
we
can
make
adjustments
based
on
what
we
determine
to
be
valuable
and
important.
O
O
But
you
know
just
as
there's
not
any
kind
of
a
good
time
for
for
some
conversations.
You
know
people
put
off
having
a
certain
conversations,
because
it's
not
a
comfortable
time
or
you
know,
there's
not
time
to
have
the
conversation.
I
think
that
the
conversations
need
to
happen.
There's
never
going
to
be
a
good
time
for
the
conversation.
There's
never
going
to
be
a
time
when
we're
not
busy
when
there's
not
a
lot
of
stuff
on
the
agenda
when
there's
not
a
budget
to
deal
with.
O
So,
let's
commit
as
a
counsel
to
having
the
conversation
at
the
soonest
possible
time
and
to
having
it
right,
that's
not
to
say
that
we
have
to
rush
into
anything,
but
the
time
is
now
to
have
the
conversation
while
we're
talking
about
it.
So
I
I
would
like
to
see
us
commit
to
at
our
earliest
convenience
and
I'm
requesting
this.
O
Maybe
this
isn't
the
the
smoothest
way,
but
I
am
requesting
city
manager
that
we
put
this
on
on
a
very
soon
agenda
to
talk
about
and
whether
we,
as
the
council,
choose
to
make
a
decision
in
time
for
this
budget
cycle.
That's
that's
another
question
and
and
can
be
raised
and
discussed,
but
but
having
the
conversation
about
what
we
need
to
do
in
a
comfrey
comprehensive
way.
O
I
think
can't
just
wait
until
well
when
we
have
the
time
we
need
to
to
commit
to
having
that
conversation
and
getting
the
conversation
started
and
and
to
commit
to
doing
it
in
a
comprehensive
way,
unless
we
just
want
a
band-aid
or
or
something
that
that
really
is
is
meaningless.
So
I
want
both
of
those
things.
I
want
a
meaningful
conversation
and
I
don't
want
to
kick
the
can
down
the
road
so,
let's
commit
to
having
it.
D
Thank
you
so
much
councilman
reward.
I
very
much
appreciate
that
and
I
think
not
just
myself.
I
I
haven't
talked
to
every
council
member
in
the
last
11
milliseconds,
but
I
can
tell
you.
I
can't
imagine
that
what
you've
just
suggested
is
not
our
charge
moving
forward.
That's
absolutely
incredible
incredible!
Thank
you!
So
much
molly.
D
D
J
You
thank
you
mayor.
Yes,
I
think
this
is
definitely
something
that
we
need
to
talk
about
and
have
a
comprehensive
conversation
as
soon
as
we
possibly
can.
I
think
that
it's
too
late
to
put
it
in
the
budget,
but
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
discuss
this.
I
know
in
my
ward.
In
the
last
couple
of
years
there
have
been
six
murders
and
one
just
over
the
weekend,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
black
and
brown
people
in
my
ward
want
increased
police
protection.
They
don't
want
it
to
go
away.
J
They
don't
want
to
defund
the
police.
However,
they
do
want
to
be
treated
respectfully
when
they
do
encounter
the
police
and
brace
yourself
for
another
wacky
analogy
from
johnny.
But
you
know,
if
you
can't
play
the
piano
very
well,
you
wouldn't
cut
off
your
fingers.
J
D
Thank
you
councilmember
painter.
Last
but
not
least,
of
course,
donna
johnny
admit
yourself.
H
Yeah,
I
hear
you,
thank
you.
Sorry,
there's
a
couple
things.
Instead
of
looking
at
the
police.
First,
I
think
we're
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse.
I
think
that
we
would
need
to
have
something
in
place
from
my
understanding
of
all
the
discussions
that
have
gone
on
and
the
demands
being
made
over
the
summer
to
take
some
of
the
non-police
activity
off
the
shoulders
of
the
police.
H
So
we
would
definitely
need
to
have
some
kind
of
mental
health
social
work
system
in
place
before
we
take
that
off
and
defund
the
police
and
I've
had
several
conversations,
one
with
chief
donath
and
several
with
interim
chief
scott.
Regarding
this
particular
issue
and
the
most
recent
question,
I
asked
him
other
than
you
know
what
it
would
look
like
with
the
defunding.
H
H
Currently,
we
have
less
than
our
allotted
number,
which
is
128.,
so
we
are
basically
short
staffed
at
this
point.
The
reason
that
we're
evaluated
with
a
lower
number
of
police
than
would
be
required
by
this
model
is
because
of
our
location
in
central
illinois,
the
size
of
our
city
in
relation
to
the
closest
city
and
the
fact
that
we
do
have
relatively
low
crime,
but
that
that
doesn't
mean
we
need
less
officers
right
now.
H
P
Yeah
there's
a
lot
of
mental
gymnastics
happening
there,
but
I
guess
I
will
just
wrap
us
back
up
to
say.
Is
this
a
conversation
that
we
are
able
to
have
I
so
the
question?
Some
of
the
examples
of
the
questions
I
have
is
you
know
we
have
a
line
item.
That's
special
police
services.
P
What's
that
about,
and
why
is
there?
You
know
why
is
there
I
think
we
budgeted
120
000,
the
actual
spent
has
been
9
000
390..
We
have
a
category,
that's
like
other
supplies
that
has
250
dollars.
We
had
school
resource
officers,
fees
go
up
even
though
school
has
not
been
in
session
so
anyway.
So
just
I
just
have
a
number
of
questions
like
that.
P
D
Thanks,
I
I
think
we
can
have
this
conversation
at
any
point,
but
I'm
going
to
turn
to
councilmember
bray,
and
then
I
will
refer
back
to
the
city
manager
jen
before
we
finish
this
situation
and
and
conversation
councilmember
bray.
Thank
you
excuse
me.
Thank.
K
You
mayor
and
one
I
want
to
make
mention
of
the
fact
that
there's
a
lot
of
homework
that
goes
into
this
job
of
being
a
city
council
member
part
of
that
homework
is
really
knowing
not
just
maybe
what
lofty
goals
may
be
or
what
political
agendas
may
be
with
our
own
individual
politics,
we're
called
to
service
of
the
city
of
bloomington
and
we're
called
to
put
on
a
governance
hat
a
non-partisan
governance,
hat
point
of
order,
so
we're
we're
in
a
situation
right
now,
where
we're
going.
D
I'm
sorry,
I'm
sorry
can't
I
just
what's
the
point
of
our
councilmember
cardio.
D
K
Exactly
so,
the
point
is
this:
that
this
idea
of
discussions
is
something
that
we
all
carry
as
our
homework
and
and
the
work
we
should
do.
We
should
be
talking
to
one
another
individually,
and
I
know
I
do
that
and
we
should
be
having
phone
calls
with
one
another
individually.
K
You
know
discussions
and
the
work
that
we
do
is
all
preparation
to
come
to
these
business
meetings
and-
and
I
I
reject
the
notion
that
folks
can
only
talk
about
these
important
issues
when
there's
a
media
present
or
there's
a
microphone
in
front
of
their
face.
These
are
issues
that
we
should
all
have
on
our
hearts
and,
as
mentioned,
you
know
the
disrespect
shown
here
tonight
to
council
member
bolton.
D
I
I
think
we
just
need
to
thank
you
councilmember
bray,
because
councilmember
carrillo,
I
I
know
you
are
we're
all
here-
we're
not
here
for
the
money
we're
here
to
try
to
do
the
best
thing
and
I'm
I'm
sorry,
I'm
gonna
shift
gears,
so
we
don't
go
too
far
with
that
councilman
reward.
I
see
your
hand
up
and
we
are
actually
way
above
time.
So
we
need
to
stop
this
molly.
You
got
the
last
word.
D
Okay,
good
question
so
noted
we
will
be
back
in
touch
and,
let's
all
clarify
this
tim,
you
hear
this.
Can
you
thumbs
up?
If
you
hear
this.
E
A
couple
of
things
floating
around
out
here,
at
least
what
I'm
hearing
and
it's
not
uncommon-
that
I'll
replay
a
council
meeting
to
make
sure
I've
got
a
level
of
understanding
of
what
the
majority
want
to
the
question
I
think
older
woman
carrillo
had
about.
Can
this
be
in
the
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
next
week?
No
way,
there's
way
too
much
on
some
of
the
topics
that
we're
talking
about,
but
the
specific
questions
about
the
line
items
that
all
the
woman
careel.
E
Has
you
give
me
those
questions
and
I'll
respond
to
them?
The
pathway
that
this
is
taking.
This
is
not
something
that
I'm
going
to.
Let
fall
on
the
shoulders
of
an
interim
police
chief,
I'll
I'll
run
the
lead
on
this.
If
it's
something
that
I
need
to
do
a
budget
video,
because
it
falls
into
that
category,
I'll
get
the
questions
I'll
get
the
answers.
I'll
turn
this
thing
around.
E
That's
one
that
we're
staffed
to
the
level
that
we
are
blow
staffing
like
older
woman,
bowen
said,
and,
to
be
quite
honest,
I'm
surprised
how
the
men
and
women
of
the
bloomington
police
department
do
the
job
that
they
do
at
the
staffing
levels
that
they
are
at
now.
If
we
were
at
full
capacity
at
128,
which
we
hardly
ever
are.
That
would
be
one
thing.
We
also
have
revenues
out
there.
E
I'd
want
to
have
a
full
understanding
of
the
sales
tax
component,
that's
funding
the
law
and
justice
center
and
some
of
the
other
social
services
that
we're
providing
to
the
community.
E
Something
else
that
I
want
to
share
and
I'm
not
suggesting
anything
is
impossible.
It's
just
too
soon
for
me
to
make
a
comment
or
a
presentation
on
funding.
You
know
another
hat
that
the
city
allows
me
to
wear
on
a
part-time
basis.
Is
I
just
completed
a
two-year
term
as
the
chairman
for
the
illinois
law
enforcement
training
standards
board
very
involved
in
the
conversations
of
police
reform,
with
the
attorney
general
kwame
rahul
and
the
chief
sheriff's
association,
the
black
caucus
for
the
state
representatives.
E
It's
actually
going
to
add
to
the
amount
that
we
need
to
address
or
to
be
able
to
accomplish,
what's
been
mandated
again,
not
impossible,
it's
just
something
that
I've
not
fully
been
able
to
digest
and
be
able
to
prepare
for
mid-year,
this
budget
potentially
going
into
next
year's
budget.
So
if
all
the
woman
carillo
gets
me,
the
questions
I'll
get
an
answer,
I'll
turn
it
into
a
video.
E
D
B
D
Okay
right
moving
on
and
we
now
have
a
I'm
sorry
presentation.
I'm
excuse
me.
D
Excuse
me:
I'm
gonna
turn
this
over
to
our
city
manager.
Tim
gleason
go
ahead.
E
Now
make
it
quick
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
provide
some
city
manager
updates
to
the
mayor,
the
elected
and
also
to
the
community
phil.
Can
you
roll
the
first
slide,
please
12
months
of
covet,
19
remembrance.
E
This
is
something
that
we
can
join
at
the
mclean
county
museum
of
history
via
facebook,
and
this
will
be
march
13th
from
five
to
5
30.
and
it
has
been
a
year.
It's
been
a
very
quick
year.
It's
one
that
on
this
very
date,
you
know.
E
A
year
ago
I
was
celebrating
my
wife's
birthday
with
our
family
at
the
bakery
and
pickle,
and
you
know
you
blink
and
we've
been
through
this,
so
it's
something
that
I
plan
on
logging
into
and
enjoying
and
would
recommend
the
community
to
take
advantage
of
this
as
well.
Next
slide,
I
can't
april
is
first
friday
and
we
have
can
you
find
a
golden
egg
april,
2nd
2021
and
that
will
be
from
5
p.m,
to
8
p.m?
E
Something
else
that
I
do
need
to
mention.
We
skipped
over
a
regular
agenda
item
e.
There
was
nothing
additional
being
proposed
in
the
emergency
ordinance,
then.
The
other
item
that
I
wanted
to
add
is
another
comment:
is
it's
international
woman's
day
and
we,
the
month
of
march,
is
women's
history
month,
and
I
guess
I'd
like
to
show
my
appreciation
to
the
leadership
of
the
all
the
women
that
set
on
this
council.
E
I've
got
a
city
clerk.
That's
sitting
right
across
from
me,
appreciate
her
leadership
and
the
executive
staff
for
the
city
of
bloomington.
So
today's
your
day,
but
you
get
every
other
day
as
well,
so
I'm
not
getting.
I'm
not
gonna
get
in
the
way
of
that.
So
congratulations,
but
one
to
recognize
that
as
well.
E
Something
else
couple
of
quick
statements
about
the
city
moving
to
an
online
bidding
and
procurement
platform.
The
city
is
in
the
process
of
moving
to
an
electronic
platform
for
bidding
known
as
procure
now.
E
This
will
streamline
the
city's
bidding
process
and
help
the
city
reach
a
broader
audience,
and
this
is
one
of
the
advancements
that
we've
made
at
the
city
and
think
that
it's
going
to
be
a
quality
product
in
terms
of
procurement,
something
else
that
we
are
doing
just
for.
You
is
another
product.
It's
a
secure
online
portal
designed
to
streamline
for
foia
requests
and
for
those
in
the
community
that
might
not
be
familiar
with
that.
That
is
a
freedom
of
information
act.
E
A
request
can
be
submitted
anonymously
or
with
an
established
law
login
allowing
tracking
by
the
requester.
All
records
can
now
be
distributed,
digitally
even
large
video
files
and
then
staff
time
spent
on
foia
requests
is
now
easy
to
track,
which
will
help
us
all
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
impact
boys
have
on
city
staff.
E
Let's
see,
I
think
I've
covered
everything
and
I
okay
yeah
productive
meeting
very
much
appreciate
everybody's
time,
we're
a
little
bit
longer
in
two
hours,
but
we've
covered
a
lot
of
ground
for
the
city.
So
thank.
D
D
Oh
you
can't
hear
me
now.
Okay,
thanks,
I
I
was.
I
usually
don't
do
that.
I
have
the
opposite
problem,
not
meeting
myself.
That
would
be
much
better,
I
suppose
in
the
long
run,
but
anyway,
thank
you
so
much
at
this
point
we're
going
to
turn
this
over
to
our
city
manager.
If
I
I'm
looking
at
the
agenda,
mr
gleason,
oh
madam
clerk,
did
you
have.
E
Actually
mayor,
I
just
did
comment
to
that's.
D
The
equivalent
of
comment-
okay,
you
did
we
wrapped
that
off.
That's
I.
I
was
looking
at
leslie
and
I
I
could
usually
tell
okay.
I
didn't
do
something
right.
She
she
didn't
flip
me
off,
but
I
knew
something
was
up:
okay,
so
that
was
it
okay
in
terms
of
mayor's
discussion.
Thank
you
so
much
I.
I
have
really
nothing
to
add,
except
thank
you
so
much
to
our
staff
to
leslie,
as
well
as
all
of
our
city
administration,
for
just
doing
an
incredible
job.
D
We've
made
this
great
transition
from
city
hall
that
was
built
about
the
time
that
dinosaurs
roamed
the
earth,
which
is
about
the
time
I
was
born.
As
my
kids
will
tell
you,
and
now
we
are
on
the
fourth
floor.
Large
admin
is
on
the
fourth
floor
of
the
city
county
building,
but
thank
you
all
for
this
and
they
did
a
fantastic
job.
Any
of
you
who
have
not
come
up.
You
should
do
so
and
realize
what
a
great
job
was
done.
D
At
this
point,
I
am
going
to
turn
this
over
once
again
to
oh,
I'm
sorry,
our
city
manager
has
council
members
any
comments.
If
you'll
raise
your
hand
or
if
you
have
any
okay.
