I
A
Here,

Our
ward
7
appointment.
Excuse
me
electe
from
almost
eight
years
ago
I
had
nine
applicants
and
many
others
interested,
and
we
had
a
great
pool.
A
It
was
a
tough
decision
and
so
it's
great
to
be
able
to
choose
an
exceptional
person
from
a
group
of
exceptional
people
and
that
my
recommendation
to
the
council
is
molly
ward,
who
is
here
in
person
with
her
husband,
greg
shaw
and
at
this
point
I'm
going
to
ask
for
a
a
motion
on
this
appointment.

Moved

Any

the
roll.
L
M
N
A
Thank

very
much.
The
motion
carries
eight
to
zero.
There
are
no
days
to
announce
madam
clerk,
and
I
would
like
to
congratulate
council
member
now
council
member
award
and
she
needs
to
be
sworn
in,
though,
and
if
we
could,
how
do
we
want
to
do
this?
You
want
to
go
to
her
or
how
do
you
want
to
handle
that
madam
clerk.
A
C
J
J
J
A
We've
got
to
improvise
in
the
in
these
days
of
covid.
Thank
you
so
much
molly
and
welcome
aboard
and
we're
going
to

A
A
A
Thank

Thank

very
much
molly
and
thank
you
very
much,
madam
clerk.
We're
going

and
go
forward,
then.
Excuse
me
if
I
can
get
my
headsets
around
my
ears,
we're
gonna
move
to
the
update.
Oh
excuse
me
before
that.
No
excuse
me.
We
moved
to
update
by
our
city
manager.
M
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council
covet
update
for
this
week
is
we
know
that
the
numbers
are
trending
in
our
community
as
they
are
in
the
nation,
but
also
for
the
organization
see
a
little
bit
higher
number,
but
not
at
critical
levels
at
all,
but
we
do
see
an
uptick.
M
The
services
that
providing
the
community
are
the
priority
and
we
have
not
seen
any
negative
impacts
to
the
to
that.
At
this
point
separately,
the
cdbg
or
cares
act,
money
shared
last
time
that
the
business
allotments
are
allotted
for
and
then
on
the
personal
side.
We
do
have
grants
that
we
are
processing
and
then
we
have
an
additional
amount
of
money
under
the
cares
act.
That
will
be
a
public
discussion
with
council
sometime
here
in
the
near
future
as
to
how
that's
to
be
distributed.
A
Thank
you,
mr
police,
and
we
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you've
done.
Obviously,
in
these
consistently
very
difficult
times,
as
we
do
all
the
work
of
staff
on
these
difficult
times.
At
this
point,
I'm
going
to
start
with
a
recognition,
that's
not
exactly
on
the
agenda,
but
I'm
going
to
turn
to
former
alderman
mike
matica,
who
is
on
our
city
council
for
a
couple
of
decades
and
served
with
a
a
long
time.
A
D
Thank
you,
mayor
city,
council,
city
staff,
appreciate
the
opportunity,
because
I
wanted
to
say
a
few
words
about
a
a
dear
friend
and
a
very
dedicated
city,
employee
barb.
Atkins
too
often
public
employees
are
disparaged.
D
D
We
had
the
not
in
our
town
signs
erected
on
the
outside
of
our
community
teresa
o'neil,
the
executive
director
of
not
in
our
town
in
oakland,
california
blames
barb
in
bloomington
for
making
not
in
our
town,
not
just
a
one-time
film,
but
a
movement,
because
bloomington
was
the
first
community
that
really
took
it
and
ran
with
it,
and
barb
was
critical
to
that
effort
and
really
put
her
heart
and
soul
into
it.
She
was
a
great
human
rights
advocate
and,
at
the
same
time,
she
was
approachable
by
everyone.
D
D
D
So
for
those
of
you
who
didn't
have
the
opportunity
to
work
with
her
and
for
those
of
you
who
I
know
did
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
you
for
the
time
to
cherish
the
memory
of
this
good
woman
and
to
we
can
all
apply
ourselves
in
our
advocation
in
our
vocations
and
in
our
love
for
our
community
like
she
did,
we
will
all
be
a
much
stronger
nation
and
a
much
stronger
community
for
it.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
allowing
me
this
opportunity.
A
Thank
you
mike.
We
appreciate
that
and
we
certainly
you
know,
appreciate
your
involvement
in
recognizing
barb
and
we
certainly
are
going
to
miss
barb.
As
you've
mentioned,
she
was
certainly
an
incredible
jewel
to
our
community.
So
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
mike.
Thank
you
for
your
service
as
well.
A
Excuse
me
at
this
point
we're
going
to
move
to
proclamation
recognizing
november
18th
2020
as

day

requested
by
the
administration.
Again,
this
is
just

we
have

kevin.
Take
a
bow
dude.
I
A
P
I
appreciate
the
proclamation,
the
recognition,
because
this
truly
is
a
great
benefit
to
our
community,
and
you
know
I've
been
here
with
the
city
for
32
years
plus
and
when
I
started,
we
were
doing
you
know,
maps
paper,
maps
to
track
infrastructure
and
and
layers
like
the
precincts
and
wards,
and
the
zoning
was
all
done
by
hand
hand-drawn
maps
and
this
tool
has
really
you
know,
changed
the
way
we
do
things
and
has
made
us
much
more
effective
as
a
local
government
and
the
cooperation
you
know
between
the
town
and
the
city
and
the
county
is
just
tremendous,
it's
been
a
tremendous
blessing
and
a
big
benefit
that
started.
P
You
know
25
years
ago
in
the
1995
aerial
photography
and
it
grew
out
of
the
intergovernmental
group
where
staff
meets
and
talks
about,
planning
and
needs
across.
You
know
the
community,
and
that
was
our
first
digital
data
that
was
delivered
as
part
of
the
gis
and
and
there's.
P
Certainly,
a
lot
of
staff
over
the
years
have
been
a
big
part
of
this,
and
you
know
in
the
early
days
not
a
lot
of
cities
had
the
gis
25
years
ago,
like
like
we
started,
and
so
you
know
in
1998
we
were
presenting
a
paper
at
the
international
esri
users
conference
and
that
same
year
we
got
outstanding
gis
achievement
award.
P
So
in
closing
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
their
their
hard
work
with
this
a
lot
of
local
staff,
and
especially
our
own
troy,
olsen
and
joe
palma,
for
for
their
work,
continuing
work
on
the
gis
here
at
the
city
of
bloomington.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much
kevin
and
we
appreciate
all
that
you
do
and
all
that
everyone
has
done.
There's
a
last
recognition.
That's
a
special
recognition-
and
this
is
to
our
nearly
eight-year-serving
colleague,
scott
black,
who
has
dared
to
have
his
own
life.
It's
quite
annoying
when
people
do
those
things,
but
we
have
a
really
cool
plaque
and
I
kind
of
threatened
when
I
saw
it
to
say
you
know.
I
think
I
want
to.
A
Maybe
maybe
I'll
just
keep
this,
but
I
did
see
scott
black
a
little
earlier
today
and
I
did
let
the
cat
out
of
the
bag
and
say
that
there
might
be
something
waiting
for
him,
but
I
just
want
to
show
this.
I've
took
taken
a
picture
of
it
and
my
cell
phone,
it's
a
really
very
nice.
In
spite
of
budget
cuts
plaque
for
scott.
A
It
says
city
of
bloomington
illinois
presented
to
scott
black
in
grateful
appreciation
for
your
outstanding
service
and
leadership
as
aldermen
in
the
city
of
bloomington
to
2013-2020
and
that's
about
80
percent
of
his
actual
life.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you,
scott
great
job.
We've
got
this
plaque,
you
better
come
get
it
before.
I
steal
it
from
you.
Thank
you,
scott.
We
appreciate
everything
and
your
your
dedication
and
camaraderie
thanks
at
this
point,
we're
going
to
move
to
public
comment.
Madam
clerk,
do
we
have
anyone
for
public
comment?
A
Oh,
what
are
the
oh,
my
my
agenda
says
there
are
none.
C
C
Thank
you.
We
have
two
individuals
who
are
attending
in
person
in
the
fish
bowl.
I
will
start
first
with
serena
fish
and
then
scott
steinling,
and
then
I
have
about
13
on
the
call
that
we'll
move
to
after
that.
A
A
E
E
E
On
the
agenda
tonight
you
have
and
someone
presenting
something
on
the
ingenuous
person
who
is
not
indigent
indigenous
and
is
not
even
from
this
country
in
this
day
or
concept.
If
this
is
discussed,
the
people
for
whom
in
his
name,
should
be
consulted
on
the
views,
rights
and
directions
concerning
reconciliation,
recognition
procedures.
E
I
would
like
to
see
agenda
item,
move
to
further
consideration
and
contact
made
with
the
illinois
confederation
linowic
for
their
input
and
wishes
also
how
they
would
want
day
week
month
or
season
celebrated
you're
dealing
with
a
different
culture
and
some
things
that
you
might
think
are:
okay
aren't
so
I'm
not.
I
don't
think
it
should
be
called
that
I
think
there's
a
better
name
for
it,
but
I
would
also
like
that
we
have
consulted
the
people
that
it
concerns
for
how
we're
going
to
go
forward.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and.
J
Q
Q
Scott
steinle,
I
do
have
a
concern
regarding
the
privacy
glass
that
you
have
in
the
city,
council
chambers.
I
guess
this
is
another
expense.
It's
a
cit
could
go
to
the
roads
that
the
city
has
dreamt
up
that
you
know
you
can
do
it
some
other
way
as
regarding
the
leaves.
Q
Not
all
property
owners
are
raking,
their
leaves
to
the
street
or
they're
in
the
street,
not
on
the
parkway.
We
have
no
idea
when
the
leaf
vacuum
is
going
to
get
around.
Then
the
property
owner
gets
to
pick
these
up.
They
plug
up
the
inlets.
We
have
a
huge
rain,
come
down
terry
and
then
we,
if
they
don't
plug
them
up,
then
they
just
flood
the
house,
and
I
don't
really
appreciate
that
terry.
Q
Maybe
you
need
to
get
out
there
yourself
and
do
it.
You
think
you
always
have
time
to
do
it
over,
but
never
do
it
right.
The
first
time
raise
the
curb
and
the
inlets
repave
the
road
and
get
competitive
bids
regarding
the
citizens
convenience
center.
I
attended
several
taking
down
several
loads
of
leaves.
Q
There
was
one
time
that
the
black
gentleman
stopped
me
and
stopped
everyone,
and
the
cars
were
back
all
the
way
up
to
the
road.
But
I
guess
you
really
don't
care.
Do
you
and
mr
kelsey,
this
is
address
aimed
at
you
specifically.
Q
Q
Q
Maybe
we
need
to
get
get
something
done
today.
You
think,
or
are
you
gonna
wait
till
it
floods
again
terry,
and
I
I'm
so
thankful
that
you're
not
running
again
for
another
term
and
I'll
believe
it
when
I
said
petitions
actually
close.
A
A
R
Ahead
allen,
so
my
name
is
alan,
I'm
from
urbana
so
I'll
try
to
be
brief
to
allow
more
bloomington
residents
to
speak
tonight.
The
main
thing
is
that
I
want
to
note
first
off
that
there
was
gis
day
as
a
proclamation.
The
city
didn't
even
bat
an
eye
at
affirming,
and
I
think
that
that
is
good,
and
I
think
that
we
should
do
more
things
like
that.
R
The
other
thing
that
I
want
to
mention
is
right
wing
tokenism,
as
was
demonstrated
from
the
earlier
commenter,
especially
with
the
heavily
loaded
comment
about
a
person
whose
citizenship
has
been
established.
So
I
don't
think
that
that
is
a
good
faith
engagement
with
the
city
council,
and
I
would
ask
people
to
seriously
reflect
on
that.
Lastly,
the
main
thing
that
I
want
to
say
is
that
I
know
some
folks
who
are
deeply
traumatized
by
their
experience
as
bloomington
residents
themselves.
R
Pardon
me
that's
another
meeting
zoom
is
weird,
and
so
the
thing
is
that,
even
though
she
isn't
comfortable
returning
to
the
city,
her
daughter
goes
to
school
here
and
it'd,
be
very,
very
good
of
the
city
to
make
a
just
decision
that
the
her
daughter
would
be
able
to
see
in
public
school
as
part
of
the
civics
classes
there,
that
the
city
would
make
the
tiniest
of
gestures,
to
affirm
indigenous
people's
right
to
exist
and
equality
with
gis
data
day.
At
the
very
least,
thank
you.
H
I
I
was
wanting
to
take
this
time
to
speak
in
solidarity
with
the
other
people
trying
to
raise
the
issue
of
changing
a
perverse
holiday
like
columbus
day
into
something,
inclusive
and
reflective.
Like
indigenous
people's
day,
the
indigenous
people
have
come
together
and
absolutely
agreed
on
a
day
that
would
better
commemorate
something
that
happened
to
them
and
not
us.
I
So
if
we
do
not
take
this
time
to
act
on
those
past
injustices
and
transgressions,
it
is
something
that
goes
against.
The
very
you
know,
fabric
of
our
nation,
the
very
least
we
could
do
for
the
living
native
peoples
that
have
to
go
through
the
tragedy
of
seeing
a
person
like
christopher
columbus
celebrate.
It
is
take
time
once
a
year
to
acknowledge
some
of
that
suffering,
and
I
would
like
to
yield
the
rest
of
my
time.
A
A
T
Awesome.
Okay:
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight,
so
I
wanted
to
echo
some
other
people's
comments
as
well.
Regarding
replacing
columbus
day
with
indigenous
people's
day,
I
feel
like
in
the
united
states.
We
give
recognition
to
maybe
the
wrong
people
and
indigenous
people
are
just
as
important
as
you
know,
many
other
historical
figures
right,
but
they
tend
to
be
not
discussed
as
much
columbus
was
a
you
know,
awful
human
being.
T
Who
did
you
know
terrible
things
to
a
peaceful
population
of
people,
and
I
would
like
to
urge
the
council
to
draft
an
ordinance
to
formally
recognize
indigenous
people's
day
and
I'll
go
ahead
and
release
the
rest
of
my
time.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
H
F
I
really
think
that
bloomington
should
pass
the
welcoming
city's
ordinance
and
formally
protect
members
of
our
community
from
being
detained
and
put
into
ice
custody,
and
we
must
also
recognize
the
holiday
of
indigenous
peoples
day.
For
far
too
long,
we've
dismissed
the
violent
history
that
is
500
years
of
colonial
oppression
at
the
hands
of
european
explorers
and
settlers.
F
We
have
to
stop
excusing
the
fact
that
columbus
day
is
celebrated
on
the
basis
of
a
lie
and
the
only
reasoning
in
favor
of
columbus
day
claims
that
it
should
remain
a
holiday
because
it
would
be
replacing
one
culture
with
another.
Well,
what
actually
replaced
one
culture
with
another
was
columbus
when
the
genocide
and
colonization
set
in
motion
by
him,
and
we
as
white
people,
continue
to
reap
the
benefits
of
this.
F
F
With
this
council
we've
seen
older
woman,
gen
cudio
shamelessly
attacked
on
social
media
over
and
over
again
by
racists
in
our
community
and
too
many
of
you
have
said
absolutely
nothing
on
this
I'll
remind
you
that
racism
does
not
begin
and
end
with
people
using
the
n-word,
and
I'm
just
disgusted
that
so
few
of
you
have
taken
the
time
to
show
support
for
your
fellow
council
member.
We
really
can
do
better.
Thank
you.
U
V
Robert
hi
thanks
yeah.
I
want
to
urge
the
council
to
please
move
forward
with
replacing
columbus
day
with
indigenous
peoples
day
for
two
simple
reasons:
columbus
is
not
worthy
of
celebration
and
native
americans
are
first
columbus
is
not
worth
celebrating.
We
know
that
christopher
columbus
did
not
discover
america.
He
was
met
by
native
americans
who
were
already
here
and
he
treated
them
with
violence
and
brutality
on
his
first
day
in
the
new
world,
after
landing
on
a
caribbean
island
first,
they
ordered
six
of
the
natives
to
immediately
be
seized.
V
Writing
in
his
journal
that
he
believed
they
would
be
good
servants,
the
horrors
that
people
faced
that
they
were
subjected
to
all
began
with
christopher
columbus.
He
sent
thousands
of
peaceful,
tango
indians
from
the
island
of
espanola
to
spain
in
order
to
be
sold
as
slaves.
Many
died
in
root.
Those
that
survived
the
journey
were
forced
into
slave
labor
for
european
prophets.
This
is
not
a
man
we
should
be
celebrating
or
honoring,
especially
not
the
local
city
government.
V
He
did
not
discover
america,
he
was
lost
and
he
was
those
who
were
already
here
met
him
and
suffered
greatly
at
his
hands
once
he
arrived.
Instead,
we
should
proceed
with
adopting
indigenous
people's
day.
This
will
allow
us
to
become
truth-tellers
to
combat
the
systemic,
educational
and
academic
racism
of
historical
whitewashing.
V
Our
community,
like
much
of
the
nation,
is
attempting
to
heal
right
now.
We've
just
come
out
of
the
most
divisive
and
bitter
election
cycle
of
our
lifetime.
Those
wounds
are
still
healing.
We
have
too
many
people
who
have
been
misled
to
believe
that
freedom
of
speech
means
you
have
the
right
to
harm
anyone.
You
feel
like.
We
need
our
community
to
heal,
and
we
can't
do
that
as
a
society.
V
S
Well,
can
you
guys
hear
me.
S
All
right
well
mayor:
I
am
a
bit
taken
back
by
barb
atkins
passing
and
I
just
want
to
recognize.
S
The
work
and
and
the
honor
that
she
represented
and
it's
hard
to
it's
hard
to
lose
it's
hard
to
lose
people,
and-
and
I
I
certainly
my
prayers-
are
with
the
family
and
those
of
us
that
have
worked
with
her
in
the
past.
I
also
want
to
address
this
business
with
the
indigenous
people,
though
you
may
not
understand,
may
not
know,
but
my
family
history
involves
a
number
of
indigenous
folks
that
have
been
are
married.
S
W
S
Girls
have
indigenous
blood
in
their
bloodstreams
and
we're
very,
very
proud.
We're
also
both
very
aware
of
what
christopher
columbus
really
represents,
and
that's
not
so
much
all
this
business
that
you
folks
keep
bringing
up,
and
I
and
I
don't.
S
S
I
S
A
H
H
A
S
H
X
Sorry,
okay,
my
apologies
technical
difficulties.
A
few
weeks
ago,
I
started
to
comment
on
the
importance
of
bloomington's
official
recognition
of
juneteenth
before
I
ran
out
of
time,
I'd
like
to
finish
and
expand
on
what
I
didn't
get
to
say,
because
it
is
equally
relevant
for
the
holiday
ordinance.
You
will
begin
considering
today
this
year
has
been
a
peak
in
mounting
tensions
over
racial
racial
inequity
in
our
country,
scientists
can
validate
the
evidence
of
the
long-term
effects
of
generational
trauma
that
our
minority
neighbors
endure,
especially
our
indigenous
and
black
neighbors.
X
I
feel
that
significant
reparations
are
due
to
these
americans.
The
city
of
bloomington
should
take
pride
in
leading
the
way
by
honoring,
a
group
of
americans,
without
which
our
country
would
not
be
what
it
is.
The
history
of
our
country's
founding
and
development
is
recklessly
abbreviated
and
whitewashed
in
most
textbooks
used
throughout
our
public
education
systems.
Some
of
the
most
harmful
spins
are
on
the
character
of
the
indigenous
people,
who
were
discovered
here
when
europeans
came
to
conquer
what
they
called
unclaimed
territory
in
the
past.
X
These
inhabitants
were
mostly
referred
to
and
described
as
savage
more
recently.
They
are
not
so
misrepresented,
but
still
not
represented
nearly
enough.
It
is
a
disservice
to
all
americans
that
we
don't
talk
about
the
generosity,
navigation
skills,
democracy,
hospitality
and
respect
for
nature,
food
cultivation
and
countless
other
lessons
that
the
indigenous
people
taught
to
their
conquerors,
not
all,
but
the
most
dangerous
of
our
ancestors
and
founders
first
attempted
to
buy
and
steal
land
from
its
inhabitants.
X
When
those
inhabitants
refused,
we
attempted
to
exterminate
them.
Unfortunately,
we
will
never
know
what
a
more
peaceful
compromise
might
have.
Looked
like
recognizing
indigenous
peoples
day.
Officially
is
a
crucial
step
in
making
reparations
for
the
violence
and
horror
we
ungratefully
brought
to
the
human
beings
living
here
before
us.
I
look
forward
to
seeing
the
way
bloomington
can
be
a
leader
in
the
reparations
due
to
our
indigenous
neighbors
after
this
first
step.
Thank
you.
C
Next
up
is
matthew
to
tosco.
H
W
A
C
B
A
B
Go
ahead:
yeah,
my
name
is
matt
tosco,
I'm
a
lifelong
resident
of
bloomington
normal.
I
fully
support
making
indigenous
peoples
day
an
official
city
holiday
columbus
day,
free
of
historical
scrutiny
and
widespread
knowledge
of
the
absolute
monster
the
holiday's
namesake
was
has
been
observed
for
far
too
long
in
this
country.
B
In
my
opinion,
the
right
thing
to
do
is
to
formally
recognize
october
12th
as
indigenous
people's
day.
Excuse
me
and
actively
replace
the
immoral
celebration
of
a
thoroughly
flawed
evil
man's
conquest,
with
a
joyful
celebration
of
the
noble
and
beautiful
cultures
he
works
so
cruelly
to
completely
subjugate.
B
S
First
of
all,
I
just
have
a
couple
questions
about
indigenous
people's
day,
so
you
want
to
get
rid
of
christopher
columbus,
understood,
he's
a
monster
but,
like
kevin
lauer,
said
he's
responsible
for
a
lot
of
navigational
pluses
which
doesn't
negate
that
fact.
But
let's
talk
about
indigenous
people,
of
which
I
am
one,
I'm
part
native
american,
my
grandfather's
side
and
my
father's
my
mother's
side,
my
father's
side,
both
my
family's,
been
in
this
country
for
almost
400
years.
S
S
Just
keep
rolling
your
eyes
just
telling
you
it's
how
it
is
so
you
know,
and
as
far
as
covet.
Mr
mayor,
when
are
we
going
back
to
meetings
in
person,
you
can
avoid
all
this,
your
muted
stuff?
If
you
go
back
to
meetings
in
person,
I
mean
seriously
just
curious
to
know
when
we're
going
to
do
that.
If
we're
going
to
run
scared.
A
Thank
you
very
much
may
have
last
comment
next,
madam,
for
around
under
three
minutes.
A
H
H
A
Okay,
we're
gonna
have
to
move
on
that.
Mr
etheridge
last
call
here:
okay,
madam
clerk.
Next
in
line.
H
Y
H
Y
Y
I
had
a
lot
more
prepared,
but
then
I
heard
the
last
comment
and
I
was
completely
blown
away.
I
think
that
not
being
conscientious
of
what
is
happening
in
our
world
today
is
very
alarming.
I
think
that
more
people
need
to
be
aware
of
what
happens
with
kovid
and
what
we
need
to
do
in
order
to
stay
safe
from
it.
I
think
the
reason
why
this
country
is
escalating
is
because
of
a
lot
of
people.
Thinking
like
john
reed
over
there.
Y
It
is
yes
good
job,
crisper
columbus
for
figuring
out
how
to
sail
a
ship
and
navigation,
but
that
is
not
worth
the
price
of
what
he
did
to
the
people
of
this
country.
It
is
enraging
to
hear
people
support
that,
because
it
is
an
absolute
blatant
lie.
We
are
20
20.
A
You
megan
and
I'm
going
to
use.
We
are
actually
out
of
time,
but
I'm
going
to
use
the
chairs
discretion.
We
have
only
one
person
left
according
to
madam
clerk,
who
has
signed
up
who's,
not
here
to
speak
and
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
recognize
that
person.
Madam
clerk,
could
you
continue
please
thank
you.
Z
Hi,
my
name
is
becky
swann
and,
of
course,
I'm
the
last
person,
so
I've
been
able
to
hear
most
everyone
speaking
and
I'm
glad
that
I
was
able
to
hear
robert
garcia
want
the
truth.
According
to
him,
I
would
like
the
council
to
know
this
is
the
same
robert
garcia,
who
promised
civil
unrest
if
trump
pence
was
to
take
office
against
so
moving
on
to
when
leah
said
that
john
carlo
is
shamelessly
attacked
online.
Z
What
she's
referring
to
is
her
city
council
page
in
which
jen
willy-nilly
posts,
whatever
she
wants,
that
she
feels
for
the
day
and
all
comments
and
posts
are
still
there,
except
for
the
one
she
made
about
strazza.
She
pulled
that
down
immediately.
I
did
get
a
screenshot
of
that.
However,
if
you
would
like
to
go
visit
her
city
council
page,
you
can
see
all
comments
that
people
make
and
there's
a
racist
comments.
Z
In
fact,
the
comments
that
people
make
two
weeks
ago,
you
were
visited
by
sunny,
garcia
and
crystal
label,
and
they
spoke
about
a
group
of
people
who
speak
about
jen
carrillo
and
here's
the
problem
that
we
have,
and
it
is,
it
happens
right
there
in
your
council
meetings.
You
know
that
your
council
meetings
are
on
video.
You
know
that
they're
available
on
youtube.
You
know
that
you
have
two
council
members,
but
right
now
you
have
one
council
member
who
refuses
to
say
the
pledge
of
allegiance,
so
jen
carullo
has
no
respect
for
the
flag.
Z
Has
no
respect
for
america,
however,
he's
trying
to
change
laws
that
are
federal
and
trying
to
change
holidays
that
are
federal
on
on
bloomington
level.
So
I
say:
maybe
you
guys
should
revisit
indigenous
day
when
your
councilwoman
can
start
showing
respect
to
the
country
in
which
you
all
showed
respect
to.
Z
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Okay,
at
this
point,
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
on
our
next.
Oh,
yes,
I'm
sorry!
C
A
A
A
Moved
by
council
member
bolan
second
by
several
people,
can
I
have
another
hand
of
some
form
jen
carrillo
and
madam
clerk.
Would
you
call
the
role.
A
AB
Yes,
yes,
thank
you.
I
I
wanted
to.
You
know
speak
to
this,
because
I
know
we
have
received
a
public
comment
from
mr
etheridge.
This
is
in
my
awards
in
the
harvest
point
subdivision,
and
I
and
I
do
understand
from
from
his
standpoint
that
there
are
a
few
issues
that
he
is
concerned
about.
That
would
make
him
not
want
to
support
development.
AB
I
I
was
on
the
receiving
end
of
a
couple
of
other.
You
know
communications
between
mr
etheridge
and
simpson.
I
don't
know
if
he
is
on
the
line
and
I
was
hoping
that
he
could
address
who.
AB
A
Katie
there
she
is
okay,
awesome
there
she
is
go
ahead.
Okay,
okay,
can
you
clarify.
AB
AB
Yes,
exactly
that's
what
I
wanted
from
her
just
to
kind
of
provide
some
clarification,
because
I
I
do
understand
there
was
some
communication
between
her
and
mr
etheridge,
and
also
it
explain
about
the
the
preliminary
plan
you
know
and
how
that
kind
of
comes
into
play.
With
this
particular
issue.
W
Thank
you,
and
just
to
I
just
want
to
point
out
too
that
kevin
cothy
is
on
the
line
and
so
is
melissa
hahn.
If
there's
any
additional
questions,
there
might
be
some
things
they
can
speak
to
as
well.
But,
yes,
we
had
the
planning
commission
had
a
public
hearing
on
the
resulting
request.
W
If,
if
approved,
there
would
then
be
a
preliminary
plan
which
is
a
layout
for
a
subdivision,
it's
kind
of
like
a
general
concept
plan,
that's
valid
for
three
years,
showing
where
lots
and
utilities
go.
That
would
have
to
go
before
the
planning
commission
and
then
come
back
to
city
council
for
approval
before
any
any
residential
development
could
take
place,
and
so
that
that
has
not
been
submitted.
We've
not
received
that.
W
I
believe
the
developer
is
waiting
to
see
if
the
zoning
map
amendment
would
be
approved
tonight
before
moving
forward
with
any
additional
subdivision
plans
and
then
and
then
after
a
preliminary
plan,
is
reviewed
and
acted
on
by
council.
Then
the
developer
could
also
move
forward
with
a
final
plot
that
matches
that
concept
plan.
W
Those
are
kind
of
the
steps
required
for
development,
so
there
are,
there
are
other
phases
and
kind
of
checkpoints
that
need
to
happen
before
any
development
could
occur
at
this
spot.
Is
there
anything
else
that
that
I
can
address.
AB
Yeah
well,
if
you
could
address,
maybe
some
of
the
communication
you
had
about
the
different
issues
that
were
raised
by
mr
etheridge,
and
it
seemed
to
me
at
least
from
what
I
understood
was
that
we
were
that
through
the
preliminary
plan
that
was
also,
there
was
also
an
opportunity
to
further
address
them.
W
Sure
so
the
the
this
this
came
up
at
the
public
hearing
too,
that
the
the
property
that
the
subject
property-
that's
before
council
has
an
existing
annexation
agreement.
That
kind
of
outlines
some
of
the
developer
obligations
for
this
subdivision.
And
so
you
know
the
the
developer
is
aware
of
those
obligations
and
is
working
towards
meeting
them.
There
are
a
few
things
that
that
are
still
in
the
works.
This
is
along
illinois
route
9,
which
is
a
state
route.
W
But
but
mr
mr
etheridge
had
expressed
some
concerns
about
some
outstanding
development
obligations,
addressing
detention,
addressing
ingress
into
the
property,
and
so
you
know
as
as
explained
to
him
in
our
conversations
those
those
items
are,
are
pending
and
they're
the
developers
working
on
them
and
before
moving
forward
with
any
final
plots
or
any
additional
phases
of
development
city
council
can
ensure
that
those
have
been
completed
and
accepted
by
the
public
works
department
to
mean
that
they
meet
our
standards.
V
A
Is
there
a
second
second
by
council
member
bolin?
I
saw
her
fingers
go
up
with
the
not
nixon
but
churchill
peace
sign.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
role.
A
AC
D
A
Thank
you
motion.
Carry
no
names
to
announce,
madam
clerk,
we'll
go
move
on
to
our
regular
agenda
and
this
is
under
10
a,
and
this
is
consideration.
An
action
to
approve
the
2020,
probably
tax
levy,
estimate
for
the
city
of
bloomington
and
the
bloomington
public
library
is
requested
by
the
finance
department.
We
have
a
very
brief
five-minute
presentation
by
mr
rathman
in
a
very
brief
five-minute
council
discussion.
I'm
actually
going
to
start
with
mr
gleason
any
preparatory
comments.
Tim.
M
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
tis,
the
time
of
the
year
where
we
start
talking
about
the
property
tax
rate
finance
director.
Scott
rathbun
is
going
to
walk
through
the
schedule
of
events
through
approval
at
a
council
meeting
in
december,
but
I
will
share-
and
it's
been
a
council
initiative
over
the
past
handful
of
years,
that
the
property
tax
rate
for
the
community
for
this
community
has
remained
flat
on
the
15
portion
that
belongs
to
the
city
of
bloomington
and
the
library
approximately
15
percent.
Of
that
total
bill.
Scott.
A
AD
AD
So,
as
the
city
manager
indicated
we'll
be
going
over
the
the
city
and
the
library
estimated
tax
levies
this
evening,
the
final
will
be
presented
on
december
7th.
AD
I
want
to
spend
a
little
time
just
giving
some
definitions
and
explanations
it's
referred
to
as
the
2020
property
tax
levy,
because
that's
when
the
final
is
that's
what
the
final
assessed
values
will
be
based
on
is
12
31
20,
but
it
is
for
our
fy
22
budget
year,
as
those
receipts
will
be
coming
in
next
may
and
afterwards.
AD
AD
We
we
have
to
adopt
an
estimate
at
least
20
days
prior
to
the
final,
and,
if
we're
over
five
percent
increase,
which
of
course
we
won't
be,
we
have
to
have
a
public
hearing
since
a
couple
of
the
larger
projects
have
been
discussed
recently,
like
the
library,
expansion
and
neopool
excuse
me
are
still
being
reviewed.
We
still
have
no
visibility
on
the
pension,
consolidation,
the
state
pension
consolidation
and
these
are
all
other
and
the
impact
of
the
community
related
to
cobit
19.
AD
AD
That's
the
property
tax
dollar
total
that
is
adopted
by
each
tax
in
body
and
then
that
versus
the
eav.
The
equalized
assessed
value,
which
is
a
value
calculation
for
the
city,
determines
the
rate
and
then
the
rate
gets
finalized.
Basically
around
january
first.
After
all,
the
tax
challenges
have
gone
into
effect,
so
we
can
have
slight
variations
between
the
estimated
rate
and
the
final
because
it
really
the
rate
is
driven
by
the
taxes
that
are
adopted.
AD
Some
of
the
confusion
comes
in.
We
we
use
this
term
equalized
assessed
value.
Really.
The
the
state
statute
is
just
trying
to
smooth
out
the
values,
and
so
essentially,
that's
just
one
third
of
the
assessed
total
value,
but
that's
what
we
base
our
rate
and
all
of
our
calculations
on.
So
you
hear
that
term.
A
lot
eav
equalize
assess
value.
So
the
example
here
hopefully
highlights
how
that
works.
AD
So
a
house
valued
at
165
thousand
dollars,
the
eav
is
going
to
be
one
third
of
that,
so
the
55
thousand
dollars
our
final
tax
rate
combined
for
the
city
and
library
last
year
was
1.3524,
so
the
tax
applied
to
that
55
000,
not
the
165,
would
be
743
and
82
cents.
So
hopefully
that
example
highlights
how
it
works.
For
the
average
citizen
we
we're
able
to
realize
some
increase
in
tax
levy
dollars
each
year,
because
there
is
new
construction
going
on.
AD
Not
everyone
has
their
house
assessed
every
year,
but
we're
going
to
highlight
in
the
next
slide
next
slide.
Please.
AD
So
the
full
assessed
value
for
the
city,
and
these
are
big
numbers,
so
I
want
to
actually
just
kind
of
zero.
In
on
the
percent
change
I
mean
the
total
assessed.
Value
is
5.7
billion
dollars,
but
over
on
the
right,
you
can
see
that
from
2017
through
2020
you
know,
we've
had
modest
gains
so
I'll.
Take
those
I
mean
they're
they're
not
going
backwards.
So
you
know
half
percent
up
to
one
percent
gains
per
year.
AD
That
is
a
positive
indication
of
the
values
in
the
economy
of
the
city.
Next
slide,
please
so
this.
This
is
essentially
mathematically
one-third
of
the
full
assessed
value.
So
these
equalized
assessed
values
those
those
numbers
in
the
middle.
That's
one!
Third,
the
change
over
the
right,
the
same
change
factors.
What
I
want
to
highlight
is
in
2020
the
prelim
eav
1.839389
billion
versus
the
one
eight
eight
one
or
one,
eight
two
for
2019.
AD
That's
a
12.3
million
dollar
increase
between
the
final
assessed
value
for
2019
and
the
preliminary
equalized
assessed
value
for
20..
You
know
of
that
eight
million
dollars
is
commercial
and
four
million
dollar
residential.
So
you
know
you,
you
can
look
around
the
city
and
you
can
see
you
know,
there's
still
new
construction
going
on
and
there
are
still
a
lot
of
improvements
going
on.
So
once
again,
positive
indications
for
the
city
next
slide,
please
so
this
this
slide.
I
I've
simplified
it
a
little
bit
this
year.
AD
The
detail
for
the
city
related
to
the
categories
within
that
levy,
if
they're
in
the
memo
and
we're
going
to
show
a
graphical
representation
of
them.
But
this
is
the
historical
and
the
proposed
tax
levy
for
the
city
in
the
library.
If
you
look
at
the
2019
column,
basically
right
in
the
middle,
you
can
see
that
the
estimated
tax
for
the
final
tax
credit
excuse
me
for
the
city
was
1.0901
for
2019.26230
for
the
library
and
then
the
1.3524
total
for
the
city
and
the
library.
AD
Now
focusing
on
the
2020
proposed
levy
column,
you
can
see
keeping
those
rates
exactly
flat
with
prior
years,
fine
1.091,
0.2623
and
1.3524.
Now
the
dollar
increase
so
going
back
up
to
the
top
right.
Underneath
the
total
tax
levy
for
the
city
of
20
million
645
000,
you
can
see
134
000
increase
in
the
levy,
so
that's
being
realized
from
the
increase
in
values,
so
that
that's
an
important
factor
for
our
budget
that
we're
able
to
realize
some
increase
related
to.
Hopefully,
new
builds
and
improvements
around
the
city
to
help
compensate
for
increased
costs.
AD
The
library's
budget
is
primarily
driven
by
the
levy
and
so
that
32
000
is
very
important
to
them,
highlighting
the
rate
changes
and
the
totals
you
can
see
that
they
vary
slightly,
and
that
is
that's
due
to
the
final
value
change
between
the
prelim
and
the
final
each
year.
But
if
you
look
at
2016,
you
can
see
that
the
tax
rate
was
1.3366
percent
and
for
2020
we're
estimating
one
point.
Three.
AD
Five,
two,
four,
that's
a
point:
zero
one,
five,
eight
percent
in
the
increase
in
the
rate-
and
it's
really
it
plays
to
eight
dollars
on
the
165
thousand
dollar
home.
So
essentially,
we've
kept
it
flat
and
it's
written.
I
I've
checked
in
the
in
our
audit,
which
goes
back
10
years.
It's
been
essentially
flat
going
back
to
at
least
that
time
frame
next
slide.
Please,
scott.
A
AD
About
finished,
so
this
is
just
a
graphical
representation
of
the
detail
for
the
levy.
The
details
for
this,
or
some
are
mentioned
down
at
the
bottom
of
this
exhibit
and
then
the
details
are
in
the
memo
as
well
for
the
46
percent,
that's
for
the
fire
and
police
protection
and
the
police
pensions,
and
then
the
library
is
the
19
at
5
million
next
slide,
please.
AD
This
is
the
representation
of
how
the
how
a
dollar
bill
is
split
between
the
local
taxing
bodies,
as
was
referenced
earlier,
the
city
is
roughly
13
cents
of
the
dollar
and
the
library
is
three
cents,
so
together
they're
between
15
and
16
cents,
some
rounding
in
there
and
that's
that's
where
we
get
the
15
cents
or
15
of
the
total
taxing
tax
levy
rate
for
the
city
again,
we'll
bring
this
forward
for
the
final
on
december
7th.
A
Let's
see,
do
I
have
any,
let's
see
julie,
do
you
have
a
question
or
am
I
misunderstanding?
Okay,
craig
bill
and
bolin
in
that
order.
Jeff
and
donna.
N
Thank
you,
mayor
and,
and
thanks
scott,
a
great
presentation.
I
think
it's
really
important
for
our
residents
to
know
how
much
of
their
property
taxes
which
are
really
high,
go
towards
the
city.
You
did
a
really
good
job
of
explaining
that
and
how
important
those
taxes
are,
because
almost
half
of
them
go
towards
public
safety.
One
question
I
did
have
is:
what
does
general
corporate
stand,
for?
I
saw
that
in
the
packet
scott.
AD
That's
that's
like
our
miscellaneous
tax
revenue,
so
just
general
taxes
for
the
city.
It
hasn't
been
designated
for
any
particular
category
like
all
the
other
categories
or
bonds
and
interest.
So
at
one
point
in
time,
just
additional
tax
dollars
were
needed
and
that
so,
if
we
have
any
variances
in
our
bond
and
interest
lines
right,
we'll
just
roll
those
to
the
general
corporate
for
the
year
and
that
kind
of
fluctuates
up
and
down.
AA
I
don't
really
have
a
question.
I
just
would
like
for
the
public
information
that
you
make
a
list
of
what
the
property
tax
covers.
I
know
the
answer,
but
I
would
like
you
to
share
it
to
the
public.
A
Great
at
this
point
is
there
a
motion
to
accept
the
property
levy
estimate
some
moved
moved
by
carrillo
and
second
by
councilmember
craybill
any
further
discussion.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
role
please.
L
K
K
A
Madam
clerk,
thank
you
motion
cares,
no
needs
to
announce.
We
go
to
item
b
and
we
have
a
brief,
three-minute
discussion,
presentation
by
council
member
carrillo,
and
this
is
on
indigenous
people's
day,
and
you
can
just
clarify
this.
What
we're
asking
for?
We
have
another
20-minute
follow-up
for
discussion.
A
G
Great
thanks
so
much
so
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
reground
us
all
in
what
this
proposal
is.
G
It's
about
acknowledging
as
a
community
the
dehumanizing
treatment
that
first
nations
peoples
have
received
since
the
arrival
of
colonizers
to
the
americas,
so
that
we
don't
continue
repeating
the
evils
of
the
past
and
it's
about
celebrating
the
strength
and
resilience
of
indigenous
peoples
who
have
continued
to
fight
for
their
survival
in
a
world
which
has
sought
to
erase
them
completely,
and
it
is
about
being
grateful
for
the
many
contributions
that
natives
have
made
to
our
ways
of
life
without
which
none
of
us
would
be
here
today.
G
This
is
not
about
cancel
culture,
and
it's
certainly
not
about
substituting
one
culture
for
another,
as
one
council
member
implied.
Although
the
irony
of
this
comment
isn't
lost
on
me,
given
that
forcibly
substituting
one
culture
for
another
is
exactly
what
christopher
columbus
did
and
is
precisely
why
I
am
asking
that
we
stop
celebrating
him
and
honor
the
people
that
he
murdered.
Instead,
the
arrival
of
columbus
and
the
americans
marks
the
beginning
of
a
really
long
and
deeply
painful
history
of
atrocities
against
natives.
G
In
which
countless
native
women,
men
and
children
have
been
massacred,
enslaved,
infected,
tortured,
raped,
kidnapped
and
more.
This
is
the
original
sin
of
our
nation,
which
shows
up
for
most
of
us
as
just
a
brief
chapter
in
our
u.s
history
classes.
But
it
is
not
just
a
sin
of
our
past,
as
some
ill-informed
public
commenters
have
stated,
the
consequences
of
colonization
and
the
injustices
to
native
americans
are
still
felt
to
this
day.
G
History
teaches
us
that
wounds
can't
begin
to
heal
until
a
past
harm
is
acknowledged,
so
it
is
in
the
spirit
of
acknowledgement
and
of
healing
that
I
am
bringing
this
proposal
forth,
given
that
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
much
interest
from
this
body
and
making
indigenous
people
say
a
paid
city
holiday
for
our
workers
at
this
time,
and
in
light
of
the
fact
that
we
have
a
new
presidential
administration
taking
over
in
january.
G
My
proposal
for
now
is
that
we
pass
an
ordinance
that
would
declare
the
second
monday
of
october
indigenous
people's
day
and
that
we
would
replace
any
mention
of
columbus
day
in
our
city
documents
that
this
ordinance
would
also
state,
like
the
juneteenth
ordinance,
our
desire
to
work
in
partnership
with
the
human
relations
commission
and
the
museum
to
sponsor
or
partner
in
an
annual
celebration
of
this
day,
and
that
we
also
pass
a
resolution
urging
our
state
and
federal
representatives
to
co-sponsor
or
support
legislation
that
would
replace
columbus
day
with
indigenous
people's
day
as
the
national
level.
G
Other
things
you
know,
while
many
people
can't
identify
some
indigenous
history
in
their
bloodline,
that
doesn't
necessarily
make
them
indigenous
people.
Nor
does
it
make
them
a
ruling
authority
on
this
topic,
because
that
would
be
as
if
I
started
walking
around
saying
I'm
african-american
after
my
ancestry.com
tells
me
that
I
have
five
percent
african.
G
In
my
background,
it's
silly,
but
we
do
know
that
we
are
wouldn't
be
the
only
city
there's
over
130
cities
and
14
states
that
already
have
replaced
columbus
day
with
indigenous
peoples
day
and
then
the
other
pieces,
like
some
folks,
have
suggested
that
we
should
celebrate
indigenous
people's
day,
but
that
we
should
do
so
while
preserving
columbus
day
and
to
me
this
is
a
paradox
and
a
contradiction
of
values.
G
So
I
think
it's
important
to
know
your
roots
and
I
would
happily
support
an
initiative
to
celebrate
italian
heritage,
to
remember
the
11
italian
americans
that
were
lynched
in
new
orleans
in
1891
or
to
honor
the
legacy
of
another
notable
italian
figure.
There
are
many
many
to
choose
from
and
to
honor,
but
let
us
come
out
of
here
today
in
agreement
that
christopher
columbus
is
not
one
of
them
and
let
us
cease
to
allow
italian
italian-american
pride
to
be
used
as
an
excuse
to
preserve
a
symbol
of
white
supremacy.
G
It
has
no
place
in
our
community
in
2020,
so
I
think
I
am
over
time,
but
that
you
know
so
that
would
be
my
you
know.
Buried
in
there
is
my
sense
of
where
we
go
from
here.
I
think
that
it
would
take
the
shape
of
both
an
ordinance
very
similar
to
the
juneteenth,
as
well
as
a
resolution
asking
our
representatives
at
other
levels
of
government
to
support
replacing
columbus
day
terry
you're
on
mute.
A
Just
to
clarify,
then
you're
asking
for
the
council
to
express
a
motion
to
direct
staff
to
do
something
similar
to
the
juneteenth
as
an
ordinance
and
that
we
have
a
resolution
that
we
would
send
to
our
state
and
federal
representatives
suggesting
that
they
follow
suit.
Is
that
correct
yeah?
I.
A
Okay,
just
just
before
you
do
that,
just
to
clarify,
as
I
understand
from
jeff,
we
they
are
looking
for
direction,
and
so
it
would
be
best
to
have
some
sort
of
motion.
So
jen
I'm
going
to
accept
what
you're
suggesting
and
see
if
we
have
a
second,
would
you
put
what
you
suggested
in
the
form
of
a
motion,
then
we're
going
to
begin.
The
other
council
discussion.
G
A
G
And
also
moved
to
pass
a
resolution
or
to
write
a
resolution
that
would
encourage
state
and
federal
lawmakers
to
replace
columbus
day
with
indigenous
people's
day.
Okay,.
A
Q
A
There
a
second
to
councilman,
carrillo's
motion.
A
A
A
AA
A
Well,
this
this,
as
I
understand
and
again
jeff
if
you're
there,
if
you
could
clarify
jeff
jurgens
this
is
this-
would
not
be
a
resolution
to
pass
it
right
now.
This
is
just
a
a
motion
that
would
direct
staff
consistent.
AA
With
what's
written
there,
so
I
understand
that,
but
the
way
the
process
works
is
that,
and
this
initiative
gets
put
before
council
right
and
what
we
end
up
doing
is
giving
direction
from
the
initiative
and
from
the
initiative.
There's
nothing
referenced
to
a
resolution.
So
I'm
confused
and
would
like
to
have
some
clarification.
There.
AE
Yeah,
I
I
think
that
this
is
really
just
flushing
this
out
a
little
bit,
so
this
initiative
was
brought
forward
to
recognize
and
switch
out
columbus
day
for
indigen
or
switch
out
indigenous
peoples
day
for
columbus
day,
and
I
think
it's
part
of
that.
What
councilmember
carrillo
is
suggesting
that
there
also
be
a
resolution
encouraging
the
other
government
bodies
that
you
know
maybe
do
celebrate.
You
know,
or
the
state's
got
columbus
day
the
school
maybe
has
columbus
day
as
a
holiday.
AE
So
a
resolution
would
just
accompany
this
to
encourage
them
to
do
the
same,
because
the
city
doesn't
actually
technically
have
columbus
say
on
our
books
or
that
we
formally
have
as
a
city
holiday.
So
I
think
it's
just
a
companion
piece,
that's
being
proposed
along
with
this.
AE
AA
Okay-
and
I
would
also
like
to
address
the
fact
that
at
least
unit
5,
if
not
district
87
already
has
a
separate
columbus
day
and
indigenous
people
day
and
if
there's
concern
about
the
quality
of
the
curriculum
and
what's
taught
people
need
to
go
to
the
school
board.
AA
A
Thank
you
other
comments
on
the
motion
council,
member
emig
and
brayan
crabill.
AC
Thank
you
mayor.
I
I
reached
out
to
a
member
of
the
kickapoo
who
reminded
me,
or
at
least
his
reaction
to
this
initiative
was
why
I
thought
this
already
happened.
AC
Didn't
you
guys
already
do
this
and
then
I
thought
about
it
and
kind
of
went,
went
hunting
and
we
do
have
a
proclamation
for
indigenous
people's
day
on
october
14
2019,
and
it
was
resolved
that
the
city
of
bloomington
shall
recognize
indigenous
people's
day
on
the
second
monday
in
october
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
indigenous
people's
day
shall
be
used
to
reflect
upon
the
ongoing
struggles
of
indigenous
peoples
on
this
land
and
to
celebrate
the
thriving
culture
and
value
that
indigenous
people
add
to
our
city.
So
it
looks
it.
AC
It
was
interesting
that
that,
from
his
perspective,
we
had
already
changed
it
and-
and
I
found
a
piece
of
his
testimony
just
in
terms
of
giving
giving
voice-
and
this
is
this-
is
kickaboo
tribal
chairman
lester
randall,
and
this
was
read
on
the
floor
by
tory
moore
who's.
The
curator
of
digital
humanities
at
mcmh.
AC
The
painful
history
of
native
americans
in
this
country
is
one
that
cannot
be
erased
or
forgotten,
but
the
narrative
of
those
experiences
can
be
reshaped
and
it
is
imperative
that
the
truth
be
acknowledged
by
changing
the
second
monday
in
october
to
indigenous
peoples.
Day
communities
demonstrate
their
awareness
of
the
rich
history,
culture
and
traditions
of
the
indigenous
peoples
of
america
and
the
resident
indian
tribes
in
our
state.
AC
So
it
may
be
worth
thinking
about
making
that
bridge
transparent
between
the
last
proclamation
that
was
passed
with
with
or
the
with
an
ordinance
that
mirrors
what
we're
doing
with
june
teens.
And
what
I
like
about
the
juneteenth
plan
is
that
it
really
does
focus
on
education
and
reconciliation.
AC
Another
thing
and
I'll.
Let
alderman
matthew
speak
for
himself,
but
but
we
were
speaking
about
this
earlier
and,
and
he
found
some
communities
that
had
elected
to
celebrate
indigenous
peoples
day
and
italian-american
day,
as
kind
of
a
compromise
that
it's
not
so
much
about
columbus,
whose
history
is
disputed
to
say
the
least,
but
that
you
have
an
opportunity
to
acknowledge
the
sort
of
the
historic
and
cultural
nature
of
that
day.
AC
At
the
same
time
and
I'll
close
with
the
rockford
public
schools
in
illinois,
interestingly-
and
this-
this
is
how
folks
can
can
push
our
school
boards
to
to
do
something
similar,
but
they
actually
decided
that
instead
of
celebrating
columbus
day,
they
would
go
to
school
that
day
and
give
them
and
give
everybody
election
day
off
like
this
is
really
let's
make
it
more
about
the
resurgence
of
a
democratic
movement
anyway,
I'll
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
AC
I'm
certainly
in
support
of
investigating
ways
that
that
we
can
honor
indigenous
peoples
in
our
community.
A
AE
AE
The
difference
with
the
proclamation
is
that
that's
just
the
mayor
proclaiming,
and
so,
if
you
do
a
formal
ordinance,
it's
going
to
have
the
full
weight
of
the
council
behind
it
and
I'm
not
you're
talking
about
tying
it
a
little
bit
to
juneteenth.
A
Great
thank
you
and
again
this
ordinance
just
to
clarify
mr
jurgens.
This
is
just
direction
to
the
council.
Excuse
me
from
the
council
to
staff
to
come
up
with
an
ordinance
that
we
would
consider
at
a
later
meeting
and
possibly
a
proclamation
to
our
intergovernmental
neighbors
at
a
later
meeting.
Is
that
correct?
Mr
chairman?.
AE
Yeah
the
way
I
understand
the
motion
is
that
we
would
draft
the
ordinance
similar
to
what
we
did
with
juneteenth
and
that
also
we
would
prepare
a
resolution
encouraging
the
other
government
bodies.
The
both
of
those
would
be
brought
back
to
the
council
for
further
debate.
Consideration
and
formal
action.
A
K
Oh
thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
for
the
comments
of
of
my
colleagues
here
and
for
the
folks
who
have
weighed
in.
I
also
received
quite
a
bit
of
input
from
the
constituents
of
ward
9
in
regards
to
this
particular
initiative
and
I'll
just
share
that
what
I've
heard
overwhelmingly
from
ward
9
is
that
constituents
there
don't
favor
removing
columbus
day
they
don't
favor
the
methodology
of
decrying,
certain
cultures
or
people
in
this
way.
K
Instead,
they
would
prefer
to
honor
indigenous
peoples
with
their
own
day,
and
so
I
I
heard
some,
I
think,
maybe
there's
maybe
space
there
for
us
to
work.
Consensus
on
that,
and
I
think
what
I'm
hearing
here
now
with
this
idea
of
mirroring
juneteenth
you'll,
remember
juneteenth
is
not
replacing
anything.
It's
not
replacing
the
fourth
of
july.
It's
it's
not
replacing
other
holidays
that
other
cultures
or
americans
enjoy.
Instead,
it
was
an
add-in
and
again
focusing
on
like
julie's
comments
about
focusing
on
education
and
and
also
restoration.
K
So
you
know
I
I
hear
I'm
hearing
kind
of
that
from
my
ward
and
I
wanted
to
share
that
with
you
and
and
I'll
also
share
that
folks
have
been
very
positive
about
what
has
been
established
for
gt.
So
I
think
maybe
that
might
be
a
road
map
for
us
as
we
look
at
these
things.
K
I
do
want
to
comment
procedurally
on
where
we
are
right
now,
because
we
had
an
initiative
that
talked
about
the
concepts
of
an
ordinance
and
giving
some
guidance
back
to
staff
on
how
to
write
an
ordinance.
But
what
I've
heard
now
is
that
there's
now
a
second
piece
about
communicating
to
state
and
federal
representatives
about
a
call
for
people
to
do
whatever
it
is
we're
doing,
and
I
frankly
I
think
that's
premature.
K
I
don't
think
that's
something
what
you
know
that
was
part
of
this
initially,
unless
I
misunderstood
it
or
missed
a
line
when
I
read
it
over,
so
I
would
think
we
need
to
go
a
step
at
a
time
here.
Let's
see
where
we
can
build
consensus
on
how
we
can
honor
those
people
that
live
in
our
community
and
and
their
heritage.
K
I'm
very
proud
to
say
that
I
have
a
great
grandmother
who
was
from
an
american
indian
tribe
and
within
my
immediate
family
we
have
two
tribes
represented
with
people
who
are
grandparents
and
just
great
grandparents.
So
it's
not
that
far
away
for
many
of
us
that
we
are
embracing
these
roots
and
and
yet
I
won't
decry
my
european
heritage
and
and
and
pick
and
choose
which
part
of
my
blood
or
which
part
of
my
cultures
that
I
think
were
bad
or
good.
K
I
think
that
many
americans
are
comprised
of
many
backgrounds
and
we
we
like
to
pull
forward
the
good
and
bring
that
into
community,
and
so
that's
what
I'd
like
for
us
to
do
here.
I
don't
want
us
to
go
to
conflict
over
these
issues.
I
don't
want
us
to
name
call
on
these
issues.
I
want
us
to
talk
about
this
in
a
real,
caring
manner
with
one
another
about
how
we,
who
it
is
that
we
want
to
honor
and
how
we
honor
them,
and
we
don't
have
to
dishonor
others
to
do
that.
K
So
that's
where
I
would
be
in
this
regard.
So
I'm
not
I'm
not
ready
to
vote
yes
on
emotion,
that's
postured
in
this
manner,
but
certainly
would
be
interested
in
more
conversation
about
some
other
action
in
this
space.
Thank
you
all
for
listening.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much,
councilmember
crabill
and
then
councilmember
ward
and
then
we're
going
to
call
for
a
vote
unless
there's
another
someone.
N
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
just
first
of
all
want
to
start
out
with
some
comments
made
in
public
comment
by
serena
fish
referencing,
that
an
alderman
happened
not
to
be
born
in
the
u.s
and
that
should
somehow
put
into
question
what
she
says
or
does.
As
someone
married
to
an
immigrant,
I
find
that
offensive
and
disgusting
and
I
can't
believe
someone
with
those
of
you
serves
on
our
public
safety
and
community
relation
board.
N
I
am
supportive
of
this
initiative
and
I
think
we
should
celebrate
it
similar
to
juneteenth
and-
and
we
should
know,
I
think
it
recognition
of
the
state
pushes
back
on
the
invisibility
of
native
peoples
and
and
takes
away
that
invisibility
to
start
also.
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
we
don't
recognize
columbus
day
now,
so
we
would
not
be
replacing
another
holiday
similar
to
juneteenth
and
I
think
on
the
resolution.
N
I
think
it
would
be
good
for
staff
to
draft
that,
and
you
know
we
can
ultimately
vote
on
whether
we
want
the
ordinance
whether
we
want
the
resolution,
whether
we
want
both.
But
let's
just
have
that
in
front
of
us,
and
I
don't
think
we're
saying
any
culture
is
bad.
I
think
we're
basically
saying
that
columbus
was
bad.
N
They
arose
as
a
result
of
visibility
of
american
indians
in
a
very
different
time
period
during
the
civil
rights
movement,
this
red
power
movement,
as
they
called
it,
aimed
to
make
american
indian
people
politically
visible
in
american
society,
and
this
advocacy
culminated
in
the
late
1980s
with
south
dakota.
First
passing
the
resolution
to
celebrate
indigenous
people's
day
I
in
it
and
as
it
would
not
be
unusual
for
us
to
celebrate
it
more
than
150
cities
already
recognize
the
holiday.
N
A
U
A
Okay,
20,
okay,
this
is
well
again
remember.
This
is
just
directing
staff
if
everybody
can
understand
this,
we're
just
directing
staff,
so
I'm
obviously
making
motion
for
20
minutes,
but
before
we
go
down
the
path
of
another
20
minutes
before
we
even
begin
to
think
about
this.
Let's
remember
this
is
just
directing
staff.
So
is
there
a
second
to
council
member
matthew's
motion,
second
by
council
member
bowling?
Madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
roll.
Y
N
A
Okay
and
I'm
going
to
hold
this
very
tightly
to
this
time
frame.
So
at
this
point,
councilmember
matthew
go
ahead
and
then
councilmember
ward
and
painter.
U
And-
and
I
just
didn't
want
us
to
get
in
a
situation
where
we
did
10
minutes
and
10
minutes
and
five
minutes,
and
we've
done
that
before
so
I
thought
it
was
faster
to
do
this.
Yeah
julie
and
I
had
a
great
conversation
talking
about
this
and
trying
to
kind
of
work
out
some
concepts
in
our
own
minds
as
we
were.
You
know,
because
there's
a
lot
of
various
factors
that
are
in
play
right
and
I
I
think
that
to
me
you
know
one.
U
I
think
that
yeah
I
would
like
to.
I
found
it
very
interesting
when
julie
told
me
that
when
she
reached
out,
you
know
the
the
that
gentleman
from
the
kickapoo
thought
we
hit.
This
was
already
done
and
that's
you
know
because
people
said
well,
why
aren't
our
indigenous
people
in
the
area
coming
forward?
They
thought
we
already
did
this
right
and
I
I
think
that
that's
an
interesting
addition
to
the
conversation
that
you
know.
U
So
if
we
want
to
between
now
and
the
next
meeting
reach
out
again
and
just
say,
hey,
you
know,
given
the
scope
of
where
we
are
right
now,
you
know
what
do
you
think
and
what
do
you
feel?
Let's
certainly
bring
our
local
folks
back
into
the
conversation
as
well,
and
I
so
I
think
that's
a
good
thing.
I
think
that
there
we
can
reach
some
sort
of
a
compromise.
U
You
know
I
in
my
readings
I
found
multiple
different
cities
where
they
celebrated
indigenous
people
days
and
italian
culture
day
or
italian
heritage
day.
On
the
same
day,
you
know,
there's
also
a
couple
states
that
celebrate
indigenous
people
and
christopher
columbus
day
on
the
same
day,
and
that
does
seem
weird
to
me
at
best
I
personally,
where
I
would
go
with
all
this
is.
U
I
would
be
in
favor,
even
either
in
indigenous
people
day
or
in
indigenous
peoples-
slash
italian
americans
day,
because
while
it
was
certainly
not
as
long,
I
think
that
there
was
definitely
some
very
valid
concerns
of
why
columbus
day
was
brought
forward.
U
I
don't
want
to
discount
that
you
know
there's
different
time
periods,
but
it
doesn't
matter
right,
that's
bad,
and
so
let's
celebrate
the
heritages
of
both,
but
to
me
personally,
I
don't
think
I
think
that
having
christopher's
columbus
name
attached
to
it
in
any
way
shape
or
form
is
and
difficult
to
actually
the
entire
goal
of
anything
that
we're
talking
about.
So
I
you
know
if
it's
italian
heritage
day
great,
but
if
it
I,
I
think
that
we
definitely
need
to
make
sure
that
the
columbus
is
removed
from
the
picture.
U
Yes,
he
was
maybe
he
was
a
great
navigator.
He
certainly
was
not
the
first
navigator.
He
was
hundreds
of
years
behind
the
first
navigators,
if
not
even
longer,
in
the
south
pacific.
So
you
know
lots
of
great
navigators.
Lots
of
people
did
great
things,
but
very
few
thing
people
did
such
bad
things
on
an
epic
scale.
So
that's
my
thoughts.
O
Yeah,
I
just
have
a
point
of
clarification
and
I'm
not
sure
who
can
perhaps
give
this,
but
I've
heard
a
number
of
people
talking
about
replacing
columbus
day
with
indigenous
people's
day.
But
it
was
my
understanding
that
this
isn't
a
city
holiday
to
begin
with,
and
so
I'm
wondering
if
someone
could
clarify
for
me
what
it
is
we're
replacing.
A
G
Thank
you
for
that
great
question.
Yeah.
I
think
it's
it's
about
intention
right,
technically
columbus
day
is
not
a
city
holiday.
G
However,
I
think
the
secondary
piece
like
because
there
is
something
as
as
council
member
matthew
said
that
it's
strange
about
like
on
a
state
and
federal
level
celebrating
columbus
day
and
then
on
a
city
level
celebrating
indigenous
people's
day,
hence
the
second
part
about
like.
Can
we
encourage
our
state
and
federal
legislators
to
also
replace
the
day
and
and
yeah?
So
I
hope
that
that
clarifies.
O
Absolutely
I
just
I
wanted
to
give
voice
to
that,
because
it
does,
it
seems
confusing
to
me
to
continuously
refer
to
something
being
thrown
out
when
when,
in
reality,
it's
not
here
to
begin
with,
so
that
that's
helpful
and
the
other.
The
other
thing
that
I've
been
kind
of
looking
at
as
we've
been
talking
is
you
know,
the
chevron
represents
service
rank
and
authority,
growth
and
diversity.
O
The
the
values
of
our
city
are
service,
centered
results
driven,
inclusive,
and
so
it
seems
to
me
that
that
whatever
we
wind
up
asking
the
staff
to
do
and
whatever
they
come
up
with
needs
to
go
back
to
those
values
that
we
have
as
a
city
that
we've
already
claimed
it's
right
there
on
on
the
front
of
the
agenda.
A
Thank
you
very
much
councilmember
ward
and
we're
going
to
move
to
councilmember
painter,
johnny.
L
Thank
you,
I'm
glad
the
way
that
this
is
shaking
up
a
lot
of
my
concerns
have
been
addressed.
I
think
that
it's
fine
to
recognize
indigenous
people's
day.
L
I
just
want
it
very
clear
that,
like
molly
had
asked
about,
we
are
not
replacing
columbus
day
with
another
thing,
because
that
really
is
a
lot
of
people
consider
that
to
be
cancelled
culture-
and
I
want
no
part
of
that-
that's
not
inclusive
but
anyway,
and
I'm
I'm
confused
because
you
know
a
lot
of
people
keep
saying
that
columbus
began
slavery
in
the
us,
and
I
don't
think
that's
true
at
all.
L
I
don't
think
columbus
ever
set
foot
in
the
u.s
and
slavery
has
been
around
a
long
long
time
and
we
have
to
recognize
that
I
mean
george
washington
kept
slaves,
thomas
jefferson
kept
slaves,
adams
kept
slaves,
you
know,
and
we
can't
pretend
like
they
weren't
the
founders
of
our
country,
I'm
all
about
teaching
the
truth,
and
I
don't
think
getting
rid
of
anything
and
and
not
discussing
it.
Anymore
is
going
to
be
very
beneficial
moving
forward
because,
hopefully
we're
moving
forward
and
we
don't
have
institutionalized
slavery
any
longer
things
are
getting
better.
L
So
you
know,
let's
keep
moving
forward
in
a
positive
direction
and
thank
you
julie
for
doing
such
good
homework
about
the
kickapoo.
I
I
was
thinking
about
reaching
out
to
them
myself.
I
know
they
have
powwows
every
year
in
ellsworth
and
I'm
I'm
very
interested
in
knowing
what
they
would
want
us
to
do
to
celebrate
their
their
heritage.
L
So
thank
you.
I'm
I'm
ready
to
explore
this
further.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
wouldn't
we
have
okay
wow.
We
have
four
people
council
member
in
this
order:
emig
carrillo,
milla,
wombway
and
bolan,
and
go
to
julie.
AC
Thank
you,
mayor
I'll,
be
quick.
Just
the
there
is
an
initiative
in
the
state
legislature
by
state
representative
ramirez
that
to
push
this
forward
at
the
state
level,
so
things
are
happening
elsewhere,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
it's
really
important
to
me
that
we
not
conflate
what
it
what
it
means
to
celebrate.
Someone
and
honoring
cultural
history.
AC
You
know
I
I
don't
I
I
agree
that
we
we
have
to
look
at
the
entire
spectrum
and
as
an
educator,
it's
more
important
than
ever
to
teach
our
students
how
to
be
very
critical
of
the
historical
record.
AC
G
Yeah
just
a
couple
of
quick
points,
yes
to
council
member
emig's
comments,
but
like
it
doesn't
mean
we're
not
going
to
talk
about
columbus
anymore,
but
we
certainly
shouldn't
be
celebrating
columbus,
and
so
maybe
we
can
reshape
the
the
narrative
that
we
use
to
talk
about
this
part
of
history.
I
think
that
you
know
the
chairman
of
the
kickapoo
nation,
lester
randall,
has
also
supported
in
his
own
state
and
has
testified
in
favor
of
replacing
columbus
day
in
the
state
of
kansas.
G
So
I
don't
think
we
have
to
take
a
wild
guess
about
what
he
would
say
about
this
particular
situation.
As
I
said
before,
they're,
it's
a
paradox.
It's
completely
contradictory
to
both
celebrate
columbus
and
and
indigenous
people
say
like
those
things.
We
cannot
reconcile
those
two,
those
two
pieces.
That
said,
as
I
mentioned
in
my
opening
comments,
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to
celebrate
italian
heritage
day
if
that's
something
that
folks
feel
like
they
they
want
to
do.
G
I
don't
feel
like
I'm
the
person
to
say
that,
because
I'm
not
italian
but
it'd,
be
something
that
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
support,
though
I
guess
my
preference
would
be
that
we
do
it
on
different
days,
just
so
that
people
can
dedicate
themselves
like
and
not
have
to
be
choosing
between
celebrations-
and
I
guess
yeah.
I
guess
the
very
last
thing
is
that
actually,
I
think
piecing
this-
I
don't
think
procedurally,
there's
a
problem
with
it
and
actually
putting
this
into
two
different
buckets
gives
us
options
right.
G
So,
if
you're,
supportive
of
a
ordinance
that
mirrors
juneteenth
to
honor
indigenous
people's
day
officially
and
with
the
support
of
the
whole
council,
then
great
one
step
further
is
for
us
to
advocate
for
the
recognition
and
the
replacement
of
columbus
day
at
a
state
and
federal
level,
and
if
that's
something
you
feel
you
can
support,
then
great.
A
And
just
to
clarify
jen
the
we're.
The
only
thing
we're
voting
on
here
tonight,
if
it
passes,
is
to
give
direction
to
staff
to
prepare
those
things
to
bring
back
to
us
just
to
clarify
so
we're
we're
not
voting
or
passing
anything
other
than
providing
direction
to
staff.
At
this
point,
I'm
going
to
move
to
council
member
wombway
and
then
bowlin.
AB
Yes,
yes,
yes,
sorry,
I'm
sorry
so
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
say
briefly.
I
I'm
glad
that
you
know
we
are.
It
seems
like
we're
heading
towards
somewhat
of
a
compromise,
and
I
want
to
reiterate
something
that
jamie
said
about
you
know
reaching
out
to
the
tribes
and
just
to
see
the
local
trucks
and
see
what
they
what
they
think.
AB
You
know,
because
I
think
that
would
be
extremely
helpful
and,
and
probably
we
might
learn
something
you
know
it
would
further
inform
what
we
want
to
do
and
the
other
thing
too
I
I
do
know
I
mean
there's
quite
a
bit
of
passion,
about
the
issue
and-
and
it
seems
to
me
what
came
across
is
that
there
is
a
a
broad
array
of
you
know,
understanding
about
christopher
columbus
and
who
he
was
and,
and
things
like
that,
so
I
think
it
it
might
benefit
us.
AB
You
know,
and
the
staff
to
to
also
maybe
further
explore
that
you
know
with
someone
who
might
be
an
authority
on
the
subject.
You
know
we
do
have
a
number
of
individuals
who
live
in
the
community.
You
know
we
have
two
educational
institutions
with
historians
and
things
like
that
that
might
be
able
to
shed
further
light
on
this
and
educate
everyone.
So
thank
you.
A
AA
Oh,
the
last
word:
no,
no
I've
been
no.
I've
been
listening
to
all
the
different
comments
and
everything,
and
I
appreciate
all
the
feedback.
I
have
a
little
quote
here,
I'm
going
to
read
and
then
I'll
go
on.
History
is
not
here
for
you
to
like
or
dislike
it's
there
for
you
to
learn
from
it,
and
if
you,
if
it
offends
you
even
better
because
you
will
not
repeat
it,
it's
not
ours
to
a
race
and
it
belongs
to
all
of
us.
AA
All.
Cultures
have
good
bad
and
ugly
chapters
and
referring
to
history.
This
is
just
a
broad
history.
I
don't
like
to
focus
on
individual
events.
I
asked
my
question.
I
asked
myself
the
question:
why
did
columbus
do
what
he
did?
Why
did
he
go
on
this
voyage
and
it
really
started
with
the
north
african
slave
trade
who
invaded
europe
and
captured
the
trade
route
to
the
east.
AA
The
european
trade
route
to
the
east,
which
then
caused
europe
specifically
spain
to
fund
columbus's,
travels
westward
in
order
to
trade
and,
unfortunately
the
consequences
were
death,
but
the
primary
consequences
were
from
infectious
diseases
that
just
like
now,
there's
no
immunity.
The
indians
did
not
have
immunity,
so
that
is
part
of
the
equation
also,
and
what
I
would
support.
I
really
would
prefer
separate
days
to
give
each
topic
historic
topic,
adequate
information,
and
I
would
like
to
somehow
reach
out
to
the
school
board.
AA
A
Okay,
thank
you,
okay.
That
was
supposed
to
be
the
last
word,
and
I've
got
two
people
who
I
want
to
speak
again:
okay,
I'm
going
to
we're
going
to
run
up
against
the
clock,
but
I'm
going
to
give
each
of
you
about
a
minute,
the
councilmember,
carrillo
and
then
bray.
If
you
could
be
as
succinct
as
you
can,
let's
go
ahead.
I.
G
Just
need
two
seconds
and
council
remember
bowling.
I
appreciate
your
intentions.
We
should
refer
to
people
who
are
not
indians,
as
indian,
like
people
from
india
are
indian
native
peoples.
Indigenous
peoples
are
the
folks
that
we
are
talking
about
when
it
pertains
to
this
resolution,
and
you
know
as
we're
talking
about
history
and
keeping
the
record
straight
like
that
needs
to
be
acknowledged.
That's
not
it.
K
So,
thank
you,
council,
member
carrillo
on
that
piece,
because
one
of
the
things
that
comes
to
my
mind
is
you
know.
I
think
we
need
to
get
some
thoughts
around.
Who
are
we
honoring
here?
I
might
my
family
they're,
american,
indian
and
and
we
refer
to
them
as
american,
indian,
perhaps
you're
referring
to
some
other
groups
and
and
that's
fine
too,
let's,
let's,
let's
just
figure
out
what
this
is.
But
procedurally
your
motion
steps
into
saying
you
you
do
want
to
replace
columbus
day
with
indigenous
peoples
day.
K
So
that's
what
we're
being
asked
right
now
and
not
only
to
do
that,
but
also
to
go
forward
and
tell
our
state
and
federal
representatives
to
do
the
same,
and
so
I
don't
you
know,
I'm
thinking
that
this
motion
as
it
exists.
I
don't
think
that
it
represents
the
consensus
that
we've
just
reached
here
today,
so
I'm
going
to
stop
there
because
I
intend
to
vote
no
because
of
the
way
this
is
postured
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
A
C
Sure
the
motion
on
the
floor
is
for
staff
to
be
directed
to
bring
back
an
ordinance
to
consider
indigenous
peoples.
They
referencing
also
that
columbus
day
be
replaced
and
that
a
resolution
be
brought
forward
to
give
direction
to
state
and
federal
and
local
peers
to
replace
columbus
day
with
indigenous
peoples
day.
A
Okay
and
just
to
clarify
mr
jurgens
just
to
clarify,
since
we
really
aren't
replacing
columbus
day,
because
we
don't
celebrate
columbus
day,
does
this
still
stand
on
its
own?
Mr
jurgens,
as
it's
as
it,
the
motions
made
you're,
muted,
jeff.
A
A
Yeah,
okay,
go
ahead;
jeff
just
wanted
to
say,
because
that's
the
way
the
motion
was
made
and
and
consistent
with,
I
think
what
all
the
woman
bray
had
suggested.
But
if
this
passes
since
we're
really
not
replacing
it
is
that
something
that
we
could
would.
AE
A
And
then
okay
and
our
our
follow-up,
so
at
this
point
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
vote
on
the
motion
and
irrespective
of
how
it
was
phrased,
since
we
don't
support
columbus
day
right
now,
this
would
be
direction
to
staff
to
develop
an
ordinance
recognizing
indigenous
people's
day
and
then
possibly
a
separate
follow-up
as
a
which
something
actually
the
mayor
could
do.
I
could
send
out
a
note
myself,
I'm
not
going
to
do
that
without
the
council,
suggesting
it
but
to
other
governmental
agencies.
A
AB
N
N
A
Thank
you
very
much.
We're
going
to
go
ahead
and
go
on
to
item
c
10c
on
a
regular
agenda
and
that's
considering
excuse
me
consideration
and
potential
action
regarding
ordinance,
2020-18,
that's
declaring
a
local
emergency.
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
mr
gleason
to
give
us
some
updates
and
any
questions
council
may
have
mr
gleason.
Thank
you.
M
A
Okay,
seeing
that
under
mayor's
discussion.
First
of
all,
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
we're
certainly
going
to
it's.
A
real
great
loss
to
our
community
with
the
passing
of
barb
adkins
she'll,
certainly
be
well
remembered
for
a
very
long
time.
She
was
very,
very
well
dedicated,
as
mike
matika
had
mentioned
earlier.
A
I
also
want
to
say
that
we're
going
to
miss
scott
black,
even
though
he's
moving
closer
to
city
hall,
so
we
I
will
make
sure
scott
if
you're,
listening
that
you
get
your
plaque
as
soon
as
possible
or
sooner
than
I'm
willing
to
try
to
steal
it
from
you
and
then
we
welcome
councilmember
molly
ward
to
replace
scott
for
the
these
next
six
months,
and
we
very
much
appreciate
your
willingness
to
serve
and
thank
you
so
much
very
much
appreciate
you
and
your
contributions
already
this
evening.
Thank
you
and
maboka.
A
We
hear
you're
not
running
dude.
You
like
that
darn
mayor
or
I
should
say
damn
mayor,
that's
better
who's
wanting
to
have
his
own
life.
That's
really
it's
really
kind
of
annoying
maboka,
but
we're
going
to
miss
you
too,
and
at
this
point
council
discussions
we're
going
to
start
with
ward
one
and
we'll
go
around
the
diocese.
If
you
were
all
here,
councilmember
matthew,
any
comments
or
announcements.
C
Sorry
mayor,
if
I
could
please
interrupt,
we
skipped
over
city
managers,
discussion.
A
J
M
Phil,
can
you
pull
the
first
slide
indoors
farmers
market
november
21st,
it's

the
arena
from
9
a.m,
to
1
p.m,
and
we've
had
great
attendance
over
the
course
of
the
summer
and
expect
this
to
be
well
attended
as
well.
Next
slide
season
of
small
celebrate
shopping
small
all
season
long.
M
This
is
celebrated
through
the
holiday
season
that
begins
november.
28Th
runs
through
christmas
eve
day
december
24th
and
then,
additionally,
all
former
alderman
scott
black
did
want
to
share
with
everyone
that
he
is
watching
and
appreciates
the
recognition
earlier
in
the
council
meeting
and
then
also
I
want
to
share
next
week
at
the
community
of
the
whole
library
is
going
to
make
their
presentation.
M
That's
been
shared
with
this
elected
body
this
past
week,
but
they're
going
to
make
their
presentation
to
the
community.
It's
the
very
first
peak.
If
you
will
at
what
the
new
and
improved
library
exten
expansion
proposal
will
look
like
and
then
fire
chief
brian
moore
his
last
day
is
tomorrow
retiring,
effective
monday,
but
after
nearly
30
years
of
service,
brian
wish
you
well
and
then.
Lastly,
I
want
to
say
to
the
community
to
the
staff
to
the
elected
happy
veterans
day.
Thank
you
for
your
service
on
wednesday.
M
U
I
was
actually
gonna
make
a
snarky
comment
that
I
was
willing
to
bet
money.
Scott
was
not
watching,
but
apparently
that
was
not
true,
so
I
guess
he's
once
a
glutton
for
punishment,
always
a
glutton
for
punishment,
but
just
a
reminder
to
everybody.
Leaf
vacuuming
is
happening
in
the
community
and
you
know
the
weather's
nice
until
tomorrow
afternoon,
so
you've
got
a
couple
more
hours
to
get
things
taken
care
of
before
things
turn
illinois
on
us.
So.
A
AA
Yeah,
I
have
two
things
actually
I'd
like
to
welcome
alderman
ward
to
our
group.
You
contributed
quite
a
bit
this
evening.
I
appreciate
that
and
the
other
thing
is
wash
your
hands
and
get
a
flu
shot.
I
know
that
it's
expensive,
if
you
don't
have
insurance,
but
the
health
department
offers
it.
Hopefully
they
have
it
inside.
A
Thank
you
donna
appreciate
that
any
comments.
AB
Yes,
I
just
want
to
congratulate
all
the
woman
born
upon
being
voted
into
the
council.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
in
a
way
I'm
a
little
bit
jealous,
because
I
I
never
got
a
nine
or
no
vote.
A
A
Thank
you,
and
what
for
julie,
have
anything.
AC
Yeah
welcome
molly.
You
might
be
rethinking
your
your
decision
after
this
evening.
I'm
kidding
it's
really
great,
to
have
you
as
a
member
of
our
council
and,
let's
see
yeah.
I
just
want
to
also
acknowledge
that
barb
atkins
is
an
amazing
individual.
I
had
very
little
interaction
with
her,
but,
as
you
can,
you
can
expect
the
museum
staff
today
was
very
sad
because
she
worked
with
us
and
and
just
an
incredible
beacon
of
light.
So
you
know
grace
and
goodwill
and
may
we
all
be
like
her.
AC
Is
there
anything
else?
I
don't
think
so.
AC
There's
a
veteran's
day
ceremony,
it's
you
know
reduced
because
we're
very
covet
aware
at
the
museum
on
on
veterans
day
this
week,
so
there
will
be
acknowledgement
and
what
what
older,
older
woman
bolan
said?
Wash
your
hands.
Wear
your
mask,
be
smart!
Get
your
flu
shot!
All
of
that
good
stuff,
right
power.
L
Yes,
first
off,
I
would
like
to
echo
everyone
in
giving
a
warm
welcome
to
molly
ward,
we're
very
happy
to
have
you
on
board
and
also,
I
would
like
to
give
a
shout
out
to
public
works
because
they
have
been
very
busy.
Picking
up
leaves
this
year
and
I've
even
seen
them
employ
some
different
methods
and
they've
been
right
on
it,
and
I
I
really
appreciate
that,
and
I
know
my
constituents
do
too
and
also
I
would
like
to
give
a
shout
out
to
parks
and
rec
their
forestry
division.
L
They
have
resolved
a
number
of
problems
in
my
ward,
with
trees,
uprooting
people's
sidewalks
and
driveways,
and
and
they've
been
right
on
it
too,
and
also.
Lastly,
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
think
the
downtown
pots
look
great
so
anyway.
Thank
you.
A
I'll
pass
that
along
johnny
to
bill
who
was
the
head
of
a
b
hatchery.
He
was
asking
me
about
it
yesterday
and
of
course
I
told
them,
I'm
sure
they
look
great,
but
councilman
carrillo
yeah.
G
Just
echoing
the
welcome
to
councilmember
ward
also,
I
just
wanted
to
address
some
of
the
comments
that
were
brought
up
in
public
comment,
because
some
folks
were
asking
me
about
it.
So,
as
of
the
the
past
couple
of
months,
I
have
been
subject
to
a
lot
of
questions
about
my
citizenship,
and
that
is
what
a
lot
of
the
public
commenters
were
asking
about.
G
Some
folks
saying
that
the
proof
that
I
provided
of
my
citizenship
to
the
city
was
not
sufficient
or
was
fake,
that
I
just
like
bought
a
passport
for
500
somewhere
all
kinds
of
really
ludicrous
conspiracy
theories
that
mirror
what
president
obama
went
through
in
the
in
the
times
of
when
the
brother
movement
was
after
him
and
so
yeah.
You
know
really
disappointing
to
see
that
in
our
community,
but
definitely
know
that
that
doesn't
represent
the
majority
of
us
and
yeah.
G
I
really
want
to
thank
folks
who,
who
stepped
up
and
did
public
comment.
It
was
a
surprise
to
me-
and
I
remember,
being
like
a
young
person
in
this
community,
getting
my
hands
all
sweaty
to
go.
Read
my
public
comment
and
so
appreciate
know
that
it
takes
courage
to
to
step
up
like
that
and
then
I
really
appreciate
the
discussion
around
indigenous
people's
day.
I
think
there's
much
to
learn
on
that
topic
and
then
yeah.
I
think
that's
pretty
much.
I
think
that's
pretty
much
all
I
have.
A
O
Good
evening,
and
and
thanks
to
all
of
you
for
the
really
warm
welcome
it's
it's
great
to
to
join
you
and
to
hopefully
be
a
voice
for
ward
7
and
you
know,
represent
my
neighbors
in
this
community.
O
I
wanted
to
actually
tonight
just
take
a
moment
to
point
out
that,
if
you're
out
driving
about
tonight-
and
you
happen
to
be
in
the
neighborhood
of
the
synagogue,
you
might
see
some
lights
on
at
the
synagogue
all
night
long,
because
tonight
is
the
commemoration
of
kristallnacht
or
the
knight
of
broken
glass
which,
as
hopefully
most
of
you
know,
was
marked
a
pretty
pretty
sad
part
of
of
german
history
back
in
the
1930s.
O
And
so
the
the
congregation
in
solidarity
with
with
other
congregations
around
the
the
the
world
is
lighting
up
the
synagogue
all
night
long
and
inviting
other
houses
of
faith.
To
do
the
same.
And
I
would
like
to
to
invite
my
fellow
members
of
the
council
and
other
people
who
might
be
listening
to
this
to
stand
in
solidarity
with,
with
with
our
neighbors
against
messages
of
hate
and
leave
a
light
on
tonight.
O
Whether
it's
your
porch
light
or
if
you
have
a
kitchen
window
or
wherever
leave
a
light
on
tonight,
the
message
that
they're
sending
out
is
that
you
know
hate
still
exists
in
our
world.
It's
not
a
matter
of
history.
It's
now
hate
exists,
as
I
think
many
of
us
have
experienced
even
just
tonight
so
light
and
light
tonight
against
the
darkness.
O
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
ward,
we're
gonna
go.
A
N
Thanks
mayor
also,
congratulations
to
alder
roman
ward,
welcome
and
also
thank
you
for
our
veterans.
I
have
my
next
town
hall
on
november
19th
at
6
pm.
Please
join.
N
So
far,
it's
it's
a
little
over
38
000,
so
we've
got
quite
a
bit
available
for
people,
and
so
you
can
check
on
our
website
under
the
covid
resource
page,
for
information
to
apply,
and
I
believe
you
can
also
dial
2-1-1
to
get
the
path
and
they'll
get
get
you
to
the
right
place,
and
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
to
ask
is:
I
know:
we've
expended
150
000
for
business,
but
is
there-
and
you
mentioned
tim,
some
additional
funding
coming?
N
Is
it
possible
for
some
of
our
bars
and
restaurants
to
get
some
additional
funding
so
that,
because
I
think
the
safest
thing
is
for
them
to
be?
You
know
closed
right
now,
but
it,
but
certainly
we
don't
want
them
to
to
to
lose
out
and
and
to
go
out
of
business.
You
know
that
that
type
of
thing
is
that
potentially
in
the
future.
A
M
Definitely,
yes,
that's
something
that
staff
is
working
on.
It
could
be
a
version
two
of
the
forty
five
hundred
dollar
grants
that
were
already
allotted.
K
Yes,
thank
you
mayor,
and
I
too
would
like
to
say:
welcome
to
molly
ward,
we're
so
glad
you're
here
on
city
council
and
serving
ward
7,
and
thank
you
for
your
contributions
this
evening
and
I
look
forward
to
to
those
in
the
future.
K
A
Thank
you
again,
all
the
woman
brave.
Thank
you
all
of
you
for
bringing
up
wonderful
points,
and
I
very
much
appreciate
it
and
at
this
point
I
will
look
for
a
motion
to
adjourn.
I'm
looking
over
at
council
member
ward
moved
by
councilman
reward
second
by
council
member
bolin,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I.
