very

council

whereas
yoga
is
an
ancient
process

human
mind
and
body
in
good
health,
which
spiritual
training
being
considered
a
part
of
physical
training
from
ancient
times
in
India,
and
whereas
the
Sun
Salutations
Surya
Namaskar

a
special

breathing
techniques

B
G
My,
dear
mayor
of
Bloomington,
dr.
Terry
Rainer,
and
then
my
dear
city,
council,
members
and
audience
it's
my

today's
Proclamation
Health

every

is
organizing
this
yogathon
all
over
the
country
and
thousands
of
people
in
hundreds
of
cities
actively
participate
in
this
yogathon
in
Bloomington.
Hundreds
of
residents
are
actively
participating
in
each
year,
so
we
are
doing
it
here
for
more
than
13
years,
so
this
year
also,
we
already
organized
two
major
events
on
TV
or
a
second.
G
We
have
final
concluding
event
happening
in
YWCA
at
4,
o
clock
in
the
evening,
so
a
LOF
you're.
Welcome
to
that
event,
and
then
from
the
community
people
of
different
races,
different
age
groups,
all
the
backgrounds
are
participating
in
it.
So
our
main
aim
is
make
sure
that
the
the
health
is

yoga.
We
want
to

wellness
in
the
community.
G
So
that's
what
we
are
trying
to
do
all
of
our
volunteers
are
helping
different
community
members
to
learn
yoga
in
general
and
some
sanitation's
in
particular,
and
then
also
they
are
encouraging
them
to,
but
practice
it
every
day.
So
through
that
our
community
can
get
have
health
as
well
as
peace.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your

Your
support
encouragement
in
issuing
the
proclamation.
This
will
have
a
lot
of
positive
impact
in
our
community.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
B
Next,
we
have
recognition
of
the
appointment
of
Michael
Strasse,
the
Board
of
Zoning
Appeals
Michael.
Are
you
here
in
the
audience
to
be
recognized,
but
let's
go
ahead
and
give
a
round
applause.
Thank
you,
Michael
for
learning
to
serve
next.
We
have
public
comment
and
as
I
preface
public
comment
in
the
past.
B
If
you
want
to
sit
and
talk
to
myself,
or
perhaps
some
member
of
the
administration
or
other
members
of
the
city
and
get
direct
answers,
we
meet
around
the
fishbowl
in
the
back
and
then
they
have
the
mayor's
open
house
kind
of
like
a
regular
town-hall
meeting
from
4:30
to
5:30
on
Fridays
before
regular
council
meetings.
If
you
want
to
voice
their
opinions
without
response,
that's
the
situation
that
we
have
with
respect
to
public
comment.
H
Okay
about
7:30
this
morning
there
were
two
city
dump
trucks
plus
a
clam
bucket.
They
had
the
entire
intersection
of
Fleetwood
at
Parkview,
Drive
blocked.
If
emergency
personnel
would
have
had
to
get
down
there
or
a
school
bus
was
waiting,
they
could
not
have
done
it
now.
There
is
no
excuse
for
this.
Had
that
had
they
not
been
city
of
Bloomington
vehicles,
I'll
bet
they
would
have
gotten
a
citation,
but
because
they
were
sitting
a
Bloomington
vehicles.
That
was
fine.
H
The
other
item
was
when
the
we,
the
yard
waste
Christmas
waste-
that's
to
be
placed
in
the
parkway,
not
on
the
street
when
they
put
it
on
the
street.
We
have
a
big
rain
that
comes
down
plugs
up
the
lousy
inlets
and
the
inlets
were
plugged
so
bad.
One
morning
at
two
o'clock
in
the
morning,
I
had
to
go
out
and
I
looked
out
and
the
water
was
coming
up
the
drive
there
is
no
excuse
for
that
start.
H
Handing
out
citations,
I'll
bet,
you'd
get
some
results
after
I
brought
just
shortly
before
I
came
down,
there
was
somebody
that
was
walking
along
on
the
sidewalk.
There
was
ice
on
there
and
they
down
they
went
and
I
was
just
coming
back
from
City
Hall
I
asked
I
said:
are
you
okay?
They
said
yes,
but
I
mean
that
does
not
so
that
doesn't
look
good.
The
storm
inlets
are
well
below
where
they,
where
the
curb
should
be,
and
there
is,
it
just
shows
poor
management
on
the
city's
part.
H
When
we
tend
all
this
brush,
let
Tim
Gleason
Billy
tie
us.
Let
yourself
Jim
Karsch,
let
some
of
the
department
heads
get
out
there
and
help
the
people
that
are
working
so
hard.
You
know,
I,
don't
know
Terry
what
it's
going
to
take
those
for
the
city
to
wake
up,
but
things
keep
going
further
and
further
and
further
and
further
and
further
in
the
red,
and
you
keep
spending
more
and
more
and
more
and
the
taxes
go
up
and
up
and
up
you'll
never
be
able
to
tax
enough.
I
I
Approximately
eight
months
ago,
at
one
of
our
board
meetings,
an
opportunity
came
up
to
participate
with
a
connect,
transit
connect
to
the
Future
working
group
and,
having
been
at
several
council
meetings
that
I
had
simply
attended
and
listened
to
the
cry
of
some
of
the
residents
in
the
community.
This
opportunity
became
available
and
I
said.
This
is
a
good
way
for
me
to
serve
my
community
and
to
serve
my
city,
so
I
signed
up
and
became
a
member
of
the
connect
to
the
Future
working
group
for
connect.
Transit.
I
I
am
happy
to
tell
you
that
eight
months
of
learning
more
about
public
transit
than
I
ever
wanted
to
know.
We
have
completed
a
series
of
recommendations
that
will
be
coming
your
way
very
soon
and,
of
course,
I
believe
Tim
Gleason
and
his
staff
will
get
them
first
and
I'm
sure
that
they
will
forward
them
all
on
to
you.
But
now
that
we
can
say
that
our
connect
and
our
working
group
has
completed
and
I
can
bring
my
report
back
to
the
W
BR
p,
so
that
West
Bloomington
can
get
to
work
on
it.
I
B
B
Other
than
items
7,
C
and
G
are
there
any
other
items
that
any
member
of
the
council
would
like
to
have
removed
for
separate
consideration.
Seeing
none
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
as
presented
with
the
exception
of
items
7
in
order
of
which
they
were
pulled
G
and
C,
some
of
moved
by
a
council
member
katyo?
Is
there
a
second.
B
C
B
B
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
item
7
G,
some
oak
moved
by
councilmember
black
second
by
councilmember,
cradles
no
I
have
a
question.
Oh
you
have
a
question
well
before
us
a
is
there
a
second
okay?
So
we
have
a
second
by
councilmember
danger,
so
the
motion
does
not
die
of
a
second,
no
council
member
cradle.
Thank.
M
B
H
B
D
You
mayor
I
just
had
some
questions
on
7
c.
7C
is
a
contract
for
scheduling
software
to
help
the
water
department.
We've
had
a
long
term
project
to
replace
water
meters
throughout
the
city
and
and
I
had
some
questions,
I'm,
not
sure
if
we
want
anybody
from
the
water
to
come
up
to
answer
those
Tim.
That's
your
call
on
that
one,
but
do
I
should
launch
into
this
or
do
or
not,
I'll.
M
D
I
think
that
the
big
one
for
me
is,
you
know
the
price
on
this
is
not
in
substantial,
but
the
way
the
contract
is
written
is
that
this
is
going
to
be
an
open-ended
contract
that
I'm,
assuming
we're
going
to
keep
using
the
scheduling
software
until
we
finish
replacing
all
the
meters
that
need
to
be
replaced,
and
one
of
my
questions
is
how
much
longer
is
that
we've
been
doing
roughly
10%
per
year
as
my
understanding,
but
how
far
in
the
process
are
we?
How
many
years
of
the
software
are
we
going
to
need.
F
One
of
the
things
I'll
say
is
that
the
media
replacement
process
will
be
an
ongoing
thing.
I
mean
it
won't,
be
something
that
will
end.
As
you
know,
as
Meters
age,
we're
gonna
continually
have
to
replace
them.
Having
said
that,
I
don't
know
that
the
use
of
this
software
will
be
required
for
the
complete
future.
So
it's
a
situation
where
we
have
to
continue
to
replace
meters
what
that'll
never
be
a
thing
with
that.
We
don't
do
if
that
gets
to
the
part
of
your
question
that.
D
F
And
the
thing
about
it
as
part
of
it
is
related
to
scheduling,
but
a
part
of
the
use
of
Ferguson
as
an
entity
is
for
that.
It's
also
for
inventory
management
that
it's
a
situation
where,
by
will,
this
system
will
be
able
to
help
us
to
better
manage
inventory.
The
inventory
of
the
meters,
the
other
thing
that
it
does
is
that
it
it
it
there's
an
app
attached
to
it.
F
D
Thank
you
for
that
I
guess.
One
of
my
other
questions
to
go
with
this
is
we've
had
a
process
we've
been
doing
this
since
2005,
and
we've
had
people
that
have
been
assigned
to
do
this.
What's
going
on
with
those
people
that
have
been
working
on
this
in
the
past,
so
we've
had
scheduling
people,
we've
had
people
sending
out
the
letters
and
everything
Ladd
and
I'm
just
I'm
curious
how
there
are
there
offsets
that
we're
looking
at
here.
Are
there
people
I
know
in
the
past?
We've
done
this
for
people
that
have
taken
in
retirements.
F
Of
the
things
that
that
is
believed
by
the
department
is
that
staff
can
be
used,
but
existing
staff
can
be
utilized
to
do
other
things.
Some
of
those
things
can
include
ready,
be
able
to
work
in
maintenance.
Some
of
the
other
work
would
also
include
like
monitoring
hi
users,
so
that
we
can
tell
that
there
is
leakage
in
the
field
or
in
the
system
which
will
help
us
to
recover
water
loss,
but
also
to
help
with
with
identified.
Like
letting
people
know
hey,
you
may
have
a
leak.
F
You
might
want
to
check
this
and
deal
with
it
so
that
you're
not
continually
spending
money
on
water
that
you're
not
using.
So
there
are
other
tasks
that
can
be
taken
on
by
the
existing
staff
outside
of
the
manual
entry
of
both
requests,
but
also
of
scheduling,
appointments
to
go
out
and
do
the
work.
Okay,.
D
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
talked
about
a
lot
is
I
would
like
to
see
us
move
to
a
system
where,
right
now,
we
are
only
aware,
if
there's
a
leak
in
arrears
right
by
the
time
that
somebody
is
notified,
there's
a
leak
in
their
system.
They
probably
already
lost
a
whole
bunch
of
money
from
the
month
past.
We
do
have
water
line
insurance
now
and
and
leak
prevention
that
will
help
that,
but
is
there
a
path
forward
that
we
can
see
from
spending
money
on
this
software?
What
it
does
where
we
can?
D
Actually,
you
know
where
we
can
take
more
often
more
frequent
readings
and
let
people
know
before
they
generated
a
final
bill.
Then
you
know
right
now
we're
doing
readings
once
a
month
after
the
month
is
over.
Is
there
a
path
forward
where
we
can
change
some
things
up,
or
we
can
do
more
often
more
frequent
readings
and
let
people
know
before
the
whole
month
is
past
and
they've
encumbered
that
bill.
One.
F
Of
the
things
that
this
should
be
able
to
do
and
I
will
double
check,
to
make
sure
that
this
is
something
that
staff
can
do
going
forward
is
when
you
talk
about
the
spring
up
staff
to
do
other
things,
that's
one
of
the
things
that
they
did.
It
could
actually
work
towards
doing
the
other
thing.
I
know
and
I.
Don't
know
that
we
do
this
or
not
is
that
there
are
companies
out
there
that
do
leak
detection,
and
so
we
could
going
forward
if
we
don't
even
already
and
I
I'm.
F
Sorry
I,
don't
know
whether
we
do
or
not
is
to
to
work
with
companies
that
go
out
and
do
that
so
that
we
could
identify
system
leaks
on
the
front
end,
which
is
going
to
help
everybody
frankly,
but
to
your
specific
question,
this
would
free
up
staff
to
be
able
to
do
more
of
that
type
of
work.
What
that
looks
like
I,
don't
know
up
here:
okay,.
D
Last
question
then,
is
and
I
appreciate
that
answer.
I
would
like
more
information
on
that.
But
last
question
then,
is
the
way
this
is
written
says
that
the
budgeted
amount
is
going
to
change
every
year.
Does
that
mean
that
we
are
going
to
get
an
annual
update
where
we'll
know
what's
going
on
or
what
the
status
is?
We.
D
F
I
think
that's
absolutely
fair.
I
think
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
clear
that
this
contract
would
be
for
the
entirety
of
the
year.
So
it's
for
up
to
$75,000.
So
my
understanding
is
that
going
forward.
It
would
be
if
we're
continue
to
work
with
Ferguson.
It
would
be
through
renewing
contracts
and
so
we'll
make
sure
that
we're
clear
with
you
as
an
elected
body
as
to
where
we're
going
I'm.
D
F
Me
make
sure
I
I
said
what
I
meant
in
that.
We
will
make
sure
that
we're
monitoring
what
they're
doing
to
determine
whether
or
not
we
want
to
auto
to
renew
so
that
if
we
want
out,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
a
clear
with
you
as
to
what's
happening
with
the
company
and
be
providing
proof
to
you
that
it's
worth
continuing
with
this
company
and
the
work
they're
doing.
Okay,.
B
L
F
L
You
and
when
Jamie
talked
about
the
10%,
do
you
think
that
replacement
rate
will
lessen
when
we're
just
upgrading
technology
versus
the
manual
to
technology
ones?
Absolutely
absolutely.
Okay,
it'd
be
good
to
know
what
that
change
rate
will
be
because
I'm
assuming
it'll
lessen
the
contract,
maybe
that
we
have
with
this
company.
We.
F
B
C
B
Motion
carries
a
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce,
madam
clerk,
and
now
we
can
move
on
to
our
regular
agenda
and
our
regular
agenda
for
since
informational,
only
its
consideration,
action
of
unclassified,
IMR,
F
retirement
awareness,
as
requested
by
the
human
resources
department
and
again,
this
is
informational
only
and
I'm,
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
our
city
manager.
Mr.
Gleason
Tim.
M
Thank
You,
mayor
and
council,
we
have
two
retirements
and
related
payments
that
we
need
to
disclose
under
the
local
government
wage
increase
transparency
Act
the
Act
requires
the
city
disclose
certain
items.
We
have
two
retirements
to
provide
disclosures
tonight,
Dave
Young,
who
is
a
facilities
and
events
coordinator
at
the
BC,
PA
and
Dave's
in
the
audience,
and
also
Greg
Calavera,
is
a
civil
engineer
for
the
city.
All
of
the
information
the
city
is
required
to
disclose
is
in
the
packet
and
there's
also
up
on
the
screen
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Questions.
M
And
I'll
do
some
filler.
You
know
this
is
one
of
the
sickly
buybacks
initiatives
that
council
gave
very
clear
direction
and
have
been
addressed.
So
we're
gonna
see
more
of
these,
probably
more
so
starting
in
February,
March
and
April
council
meetings,
because
we
have
handful
retirements
that
will
be
effective.
April
thirtieth,
Josh.
N
We'll
have
three
classified
non-union.
Employees
will
go
through
this
process
similar
to
what
we're
doing
tonight.
We'll
also
have
five
Union
folks,
who
are
also
impacted
and
then
actually
will
be
doing,
negotiations
with
Lodge
1000,
the
water
group
in
particular.
That
will
happen
this
spring
for
a
similar
process
to
follow
within
the
coming
year.
Thank
you
sure.
Any
other
questions.
D
Before
you
get
away,
I
just
think
it's
worth
repeating
that
the
steps
that
we
took
in
October,
we
knew
that
there
was
gonna,
be
a
cost
and
we
knew
that.
Unfortunately,
some
people
were
going
to
take
retirement
sooner
than
we
want
them
to,
because
I
don't
think
Dave
young
should
ever
be
allowed
to
retire.
But
we
know
we
did
an
analysis
at
that
time
that
the
estimate
would
be
a
potential
impact
of
about
three
to
three
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
early
retirement.
D
But
if
we
didn't
do
this
now,
the
impact
in
ten
or
twelve
years
from
now
could
be
as
much
as
thirteen
to
fifteen
million
dollars.
So
I
just
think
it
that's
worth
bear
repeating
that
we're
seeing
a
whole
bunch
of
people
retire
now
and
it
is
going
to
cost
us
money,
but
it's
not
costing
as
much
money
as
it
would.
If
we
took
no
action,
that's.
D
N
Even
with
these
accelerated
payments,
these
are
estimates
based
on
the
tools
we
have
made
available
that
are
provided
to
us
by
MRF.
Again,
it's
an
estimate
about
three
months
after
someone
retires,
we
actually
get
the
true
bill
in
the
mail
we
pay
those
and
typically
they're
within
five
or
ten
percent
of
what
we
see
but
sometimes
they're,
all
lower,
sometimes
they're
a
little
higher.
Just
like
you
give
it
any
bill.
But
yes,
you're,
correct.
B
M
B
This
is
just
for
information
only
okay.
Next
we
move
on
to
something
and
if
you're
ready
to
make
a
motion,
you
can
do
that.
The
council
member
black-
and
that
is,
we-
have
consideration
and
action
on
a
resolution
authorizing
the
initiation
of
map
amendments
to
the
official
zoning
map
for
properties
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
to
amend
errors
and
make
the
map
consistent
with
the
previously
adopted
comprehensive
text.
Amendment
for
the
Bloomington
zoning
ordinance
chapter
44-
and
we
have
Katie
here
I-
would
first
turn
it
over
to
Tim
and
Tim
I
guess:
Katie.
M
E
So
I'm
gonna
go
briefly
through
a
little
bit
of
background.
Talk
about
how
we
got
here
and
then
talked
about
next
steps.
Like
Tim
said
this
could
have
been
on
the
consent
agenda,
it's
fairly
routine,
but
we
welcome
any
opportunity
to
educate
everybody
about
the
changes
that
happen
in
March
2019
already
in
2020.
Aren't
we
so
for
the
planning
department
we
have
to
to
real
tools
with
respect
to
zoning,
we
have
the
zoning
text,
which
is
kind
of
the
written
regulations.
These
apply
to
all
properties
within
the
city
of
Bloomington.
E
The
text
spells
out
and
defines
the
districts.
It
defines
development
standards
in
some
cases
like
our
gap
districts,
it
might
design
kind
of
building
features
and
architectural
features,
but
it
applies
uniformly
throughout
and
then
we
have
the
map,
which
is
a
visual
representation
of
the
text,
and
so
every
year
by
March
31st,
the
city
is
required
to
adopt
an
official
map
that
shows
all
of
the
changes
that
happened
to
the
map
in
the
previous
calendar
year,
and
so
the
map
really
shows
what
the
zoning
is
for
a
specific
property.
E
When
we
do
changes
to
the
map,
it's
not
affecting
the
other
properties
in
the
city,
when
we
do
changes
to
the
text,
it
does
affect
other
properties
and
it
affects
the
map,
so
changes
to
the
map.
No,
no
change
on
the
tax
changes
to
the
text.
Changes
on
the
map,
like
I,
said
we
have
to
adopt
an
official
map
by
March
31st,
so
we're
getting
ready
to
start
that
process
and
we
just
want
to
clean
up
any
errors
that
might
be
in
the
current
map.
Right
now.
E
E
So
that
is
now
shown
on
this
map,
and
then
we
had
a
piece
of
property
on
East
Towanda
barns
that
was
owned
from
b12
agriculture
and
that
came
I
think
it
was
in
September
that
we
saw
that
and
then
we
also
had
about
400
properties
that
were
affected
by
the
zoning
text.
Amendments
that
we
adopted
in
March,
so
with
that
text
amendment
just
kind
of
a
recap.
E
What
we
did
is
we
consolidated
a
lot
of
our
business
districts,
ones
that
were
redundant
and
then
we
got
rid
of
the
B
3
district
in
the
down
town
and
created
three
new
downtown
districts.
So
this
is
a
little
hard
to
see.
Let
me
pull
it
up
there.
For
you.
The
b1
district
was
combined
with
the
c3
district.
E
The
c2
district
was
combined
with
the
B
b2
district
and
then,
like
I,
said
we
eliminated
b3,
which
is
mostly
downtown
and
created
three
new
downtown
districts,
the
d1,
which
is
like
a
central
core
and
then
the
d2,
which
is
a
transition,
and
then
d3,
which
is
the
Arts
and
warehouse
district,
and
so
there
are
about
four
hundred
and
one
affected
properties
throughout
the
city.
This
map
is
the
map
that
was
included
in
all
of
the
different
public
hearing
meetings.
We
had
three
public
hearings
throughout
this
process.
This
was
presented
to
council.
E
It
was
included
in
your
council
packets,
back
in
March
kind
of
really
showing
those
areas
that
were
impacted
in
those
new
districts
that
were
created
downtown
but
of
those
four
hundred
and
one
properties
affected,
only
372
were
notified
and
we
figured
this
out
by
going
back
and
kind
of
updating
our
databases
and
so
the
city's
main
mapping
databases
is
our
GIS
system.
It's
called
the
geographical
information
systems.
I,
don't
know
how
many
people
have
used
it
before,
but
it's
really
based
on
different
layers
of
data,
and
so
the
layers
might
have
different
shapes.
E
They
might
have
different
textures.
One
way
to
think
of
it
is
like
a
taco
dip.
So
right,
I
know
it's
everybody's.
Getting
hungry,
I'll
hurry
this
up,
but
you've
got
different
layers
and
they're
different
textures.
And
so,
when
you
go
to
extract
data,
you
go
to
scoop
into
your
taco
dip.
You
might
get
some
tomatoes
that
you
didn't
want.
E
You
know,
because
they're
touching
and
and
they're
there,
you
might
also
decide
that
you
want
more
beans
or
more
meat,
and
so
you
got
to
go
back
and
clean
it
up
and
that's
what
we're
doing
right
now.
So
when
we
scooped
to
get
our
data
were
to
pull
it
out,
we
found
that
that
there
are
43
properties
that
were
affected
of
those
14
were
included
in
the
original
notification,
but
we
didn't
want
them
to
be
so.
Those
are
like
those
runaway
tomatoes
that
really
want
right.
E
So
we're
gonna
go
change,
those
back
to
the
original
zoning
29.
We
didn't
even
get.
They
just
didn't
come
in
in
the
query,
so
we're
going
to
go
back
and
notify
those
property
owners,
and
let
them
know
that
that
the
zoning
had
been
changed.
The
texts
have
been
changed
and
then
that
that
has
some
implications
for
their
zoning
on
their
property,
and
we
found
that
the
reason
we
didn't
get
them
is
because
a
lot
of
them
are
condominiums
and
so
our
parcel
layer,
our
taco
seasoning,
whatever
layer,
doesn't
even
have
onions
in
it.
E
You
know
so
these
these
this
data
is
not
even
in
there,
so
we
had
to
cross-reference
it
with
another
database.
So
I
think
it
was
a
really
good
learning.
Experience
about
you
know
some
efficiencies
that
we
can.
We
can
implement
to
make
it
more
effective
and
now
everybody's
hungry,
so
just
to
ghost,
go
through
really
quickly
of
property.
Parcel
pertains
to
a
piece
of
land
that
maybe
has
an
address
with
it.
E
Kind
of
many
impartial
might
pertain
to
units
within
a
building,
and
so
our
layer
has
the
property
parcels
doesn't
have
all
the
condominium
parcels,
so
you
might
have
one
building
with
one
address
that
has
multiple
things
associated
with
it.
So
when
we
talk
about
that,
one
hundred
and
ninety
seven
ten,
it's
not
necessarily
a
hundred
and
ninety
seven
properties
or
one
hundred
ninety
seven
different
owners.
It's
just
one
hundred
and
ninety
seven
different
units.
E
Next
steps
counsel
would
tonight
we're
asking
you
to
adopt
this
resolution.
That
starts
the
publication
process,
and
then
we
would
mail
notices
to
all
the
property
owners.
We
have
a
public
hearing
in
February
with
the
Planning
Commission.
Anybody
who
wanted
to
comment
on
anything
would
have
a
chance
to
share
their
views
at
that
time,
and
then
we
would
bring
this
back
to
you
in
March
for
final
action
and
then
adopt
our
official
zoning
map,
which
is
clean
and
shows
all
the
changes
by
March
31st
of
this
year.
So
with
that,
that's
a
recommendation.
O
O
D
Agree,
you
know
even
from
the
beginning
of
the
process,
you
were,
you
guys
were
doing
a
lot
of
the
public
hearings
and
everything
that
there
was
a
lot
of
communication
upfront
and
a
lot
of
analogies
that
had
been
used
over
time
to
you.
What
describe
why
we're
doing
this
so
I
agreed
with
the
process.
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
could
share
an
update.
We
had
some
the
border
edge,
the
western
edge
of
dim
its
Grove
neighborhood.
We
had
said
we
were
going
to
do
a
separate
study
on
and
and
how
that
affects
we're.
E
I
have
recommendations.
The
consultant
was
working
on
that
I'm,
hoping
to
take
those
to
the
Planning
Commission
in
February
or
in
March
I.
Think
the
way
the
recommendation
is
going,
we're
going
to
look
at
creating
a
separate
zoning
district
for
that
area.
That's
kind
of
more
specific
to
the
older
neighborhood,
okay
for
anything
on.
D
It
while
I
thought
this
was
a
good
opportunity
to
get
an
update
and
then
we're
still
got
a
sign.
Amendment
signs
own
change.
That's
coming
forward
to
I
know
we're
working
through
the
process
on
that
as
well.
So
definitely
looking
forward
to
seeing
updates
on
as
well,
because
I
get
a
lot
of
questions
on
the
signing,
1
2
and
nobody
else
has
any.
You
have
a
question
again.
Thank.
K
K
E
No
I
think
one
thing
that
we
can
do
to
improve
is
try
to
look
at
one
of
the
layers
that
we
have
in
there
and
kind
of
the
data
and
fill
in
those
gaps
from
the
data.
I
think
it's
probably
going
to
be
an
ongoing
project
that
we
can
work
on
and
see
if
we
can
bring
in
some
interns
or
see
if
we
can
get
some
other
other
people
to
help
with,
but
definitely
trying
to
improve
the
taste
of
the
taco
dip.
You
know,
I,
move
that.
B
C
B
M
P
There
we
go
so.
Fortunately,
the
positive
trends
continue
with
our
revenues,
which
are
actually
you
know
there
I
discussed
last
Monday
was
Tuesday,
are
translating
into
the
21
budget.
Trends
are
still
positive,
our
rotten
tomato
telecom
that
is
actually
from
what
we're
seeing
actually
stabilized
so
we're
roughly
realizing
about
a
$33,000
per
month
under
budget
in
in
telecom,
and
that's
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
annual.
P
That
goes
to
the
pensions
it's
about
40
percent,
so
you
know
forty
percent
of
that
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
gonna
affect
what's
going
towards
the
pension
so
about
$160,000
I
forgot
to
mention
you
know
it's
the
same
same
exhibit
every
month,
so
I'm
gonna
try
to
highlight
some
of
the
nuances
and
some
of
the
you
know
behind
the
scenes
or
technical
components
like
that
each
month.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
comment
on
I'd
like
to
talk
about
local
use.
Tax
I've
talked
about
that
every
month,
but
you
look
up
at
home
roll.
P
You
know
we
went.
We
had
twenty
three
point:
two
million
dollars
budgeted
for
the
year
the
prior
year
was
twenty
two
point
seven,
so
we
took
it
up
a
little
bit,
but
it's
it's
running
under
budget
yeah,
but
it's
it's
still
doing.
Well,
it's
ten
thousand
dollars
under
the
prior
year,
but
local
use
tax.
That's
that
online
internet
retail
sales
that
we're
getting
related
to
that
change.
You
know
the
expansion
of
the
legislation
that
happened,
October
18th.
You
know
that
that's
really
I
mean
it's
working
well
for
the
city.
P
You
can
see
in
2019
oops
point
here:
use
the
mouse,
so
people
watching
see
one
point:
nine
million
dollars
budgeted
and
we
took
it
up
to
almost
2.4
million
and
we're
$141,000
ahead
of
budget.
So
you
know
it's
not
compensate
I
mean
it
is
compensating
fairly
well
for
any
drop
in
the
brick-and-mortar
home-rule
sales
that
we
may
be
suffering
from
stores
closing,
so
that
expansion
is
going
to
continue.
I've
mentioned
this
before
January
21
online
retailers
that
meet
certain
criteria
are
gonna,
have
to
start
collecting
the
local
component
of
those
taxes.
P
So
we're
gonna
continue
to
see
some
benefit
from
that
Franchise
Tax
I.
Don't
talk
much
about
that
we're
over
budget
for
the
year.
For
that
and
that's
really
related
to
the
newest
Cable
Metro
net.
We
weren't
really
sure
what
that
was
going
to
be
realized.
So
we
were
conservative
on
that
one
and
so
we're
pretty
pleased
with
that
and
then
local
motor
fuel
tax.
P
I
know
this
is
still
small:
we've
removed
a
column
I'm
going
to
work
with
Scotts
brows
for
the
next
one,
maybe
put
this
into
a
PowerPoint
to
see
if
we
can
expand
it.
So
let
me
comment
on
the
format.
First
of
all,
there
used
to
be
a
column
right
here
that
was
just
the
net
between
the
budget
and
the
year-to-date.
That
essentially
was
a
calculation
that
showed
what's
remaining
of
the
budget.
If
we
were
to
spend
or
earn
all
the
revenues
or
the
expenditures
and
zero
out
the
budget,
what
would
be
left
well?
P
We
really
don't
typically
speak
to
that
column,
so
I
removed
it
for
visuals
sake,
so
that
the
more
important
columns
are
easily
more
easily
seen.
I
wanted
to
comment
also
on
the
projection
column.
Last
month
we
I
just
highlighted.
We
were
updating
the
material
changes
that
we're
aware
of
well
as
part
of
the
budget
process,
the
coming
year
budget
process.
We
work
through
every
single
line
for
the
current
year,
so
the
projected
420,
it's
part
of
the
twenty
one
budget
process,
where
we
load
into
the
system
a
projection
for
every
single
account.
P
You
know
four
thousand
accounts,
citywide
I'm,
not
sure
exactly
how
many
for
the
general
fund.
Now
you
know
some
of
these
can
really
they
can
still
change
significantly
before
the
end
of
the
year.
I'll
use
an
example
of
the
Economic
Development
rebates.
So
whether
or
not
you
know
these
developers
meet
those,
you
know
we
could
have
a
few
hundred
thousand
dollars
swing
before
a
year
end.
But
at
this
point
in
time
our
best
estimates,
you
know,
revenues
up
by
a
million.
You
can
see
the
categories
here
in
the
expense
salaries
vacancy
related.
P
You
know
almost
a
million
under
and
then
benefits.
You
know
nearly
two
million
dollars
over
and
you
know
really
most
of
that's
related
to
the
sickly
buyback.
You
know
that
was
just
discussed
previously.
It
was.
It
was
expected
based
on
the
decision
by
the
council
and
part
of
it.
The
buyer
Mari
MRF
rate
increase
that
went
into
effect
on
January
1st
I.
P
P
That's
part
of
that
net
use,
so
the
restricted
funds
that
we
were
using
for
the
year
worth
the
BC
pas
last
creativity,
center
roof
repair
originally
budgeted
seven
hundred
seventy
five
thousand,
but
it's
coming
in
at
around
a
half
million,
and
then
the
pension
reserve
used
for
the
year,
which
was
originally
budget
around
three
hundred
thousand,
but
it's
gonna
be
higher.
We're
gonna
use
more
of
that
reserve
because
of
Telecom,
so
about
a
million
sixty
five
of
restricted
fund
balance.
So
really
our
total
available
fund
balance
for
the
general
fund
started
the
year.
P
Twenty
two
point:
1
million
nearly
as
of
right.
Now
it
would
end
up
about
twenty
two
point:
nine
million,
even
though
we're
showing
a
net
use
of
fund
balance,
because
a
large
component
of
that
is
restricted
so
we're
using
restricted
to
cover
the
expenses,
those
expenses
so
a
little
bit
of
accounting.
But
you
know
at
the
end
of
the
year
when
we're
reporting
on
our
audit.
P
Forgot
to
mention
that
last
month
we
were
at
a
million
net
use
of
fund
balance.
We're
at
you
know
roughly
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
right
now.
Really
a
lot
of
that
is
related
to
you
know,
revenues
continue
to
grow
and
you
know
the
expenses
are
coming
in
under
I
mean
those
are
stating
the
obvious,
but
the
trends
and
the
revenues
can
we
start
conservatively,
and
then
we
start
when
we're
seeing
each
and
every
month
that
comes
through.
We
get
more
confidence
that
we
can
bump
those
up.
P
My
typical
typical
comments
on
this
are
related
to
revenues
because,
with
the
enterprise
funds
we
have
these
budgeted
use
of
fund
balance.
Eight
point:
three
million
three
hundred
seven.
You
know
all
capital
projects,
so
we're
really
we're
really
budgeting
for
those
funds.
They're
gonna
show
a
use
of
fund
balance
or
you
know
a
deficit
for
the
year,
but
it's
planned
for
the
capital
projects.
The
revenue
is
all
coming
in,
we've
got
a
little
bit
under
is
in
sewer.
We
think
that's
really
because
we
just
there
was
a
budgeting
issue
with
that.
P
So
a
little
bit
of
over
estimation
there,
but
everything
else
coming
right
in
the
arena.
This
is
the
venue
works
component
they're
at
a
million
million
0:46.
Their
year-to-date
budget
is
one
point
two.
So
this
month,
they're
actually
a
little
under
four
venue.
Bene
works
at
the
arena,
but
their
year-to-date
loss
budgeted
was
441,
441
thousand
and
they're
at
353,
so
this
is
kind
of
showing
the
expense
controls
that
are
that
are
occurring
there
at
the
arena
on
the
entertainment
side.
P
M
Thank
You
mayor
there's
the
events
for
the
upcoming
couple
of
weeks
on
the
board,
then
a
reminder
to
the
community
more
so
this
Saturday
right
here
we
will
have
a
special
meeting
or
dis
lady
of
update
senators,
Brady
and
Berkman
and
representative
summer
and
Brady
will
be
in
attendance.
That
starts
at
nine
o'clock.
We'll
have
a
light
breakfast
that
served
at
8:30
and
while
there's
really
not
set
agenda
items,
the
discussion
topics
that
we
expect
are
all
four
of
them.
With
the
101st
General
Assembly
starting
this
week.
M
It
will
give
them
an
opportunity,
maybe
to
speak,
to
us
about
what
their
expectations
are
out
of
this
General
Assembly
out
out
of
this
session,
then
also
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
reaffirm
what
our
four
capital
project
asks.
Our
of
the
state
of
Illinois
that
we
submitted
last
year.
That's
all
I've
got
you.
B
Great,
thank
you
very
much
Thanks
at
this
point.
The
only
thing
I
want
to
do
is
to
you
know,
stated
with
it
what
a
incredible
job
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
seemed
to
do
every
year
in
their
gala.
They
seem
to
up
the
ante,
and
that
was
on
Saturday
and
also
another
event.
I
was
trying
to
clone
myself
and
be
three
places.
B
At
the
same
time,
there
was
a
series
of
celebrations
throughout
Bloomington
actually
for
the
Chinese
New
Year,
which
was
also
Saturday
evening
and,
of
course,
the
series
of
celebrations
over
the
last
week
on
Martin
Luther
King
and
the
national
holiday
for
Martin
Luther
King
commemorating
the
the
civil
rights
movement
in
America.
At
this
point,
that's
all
I
had
members
of
council
any
comments.
Councilmember
Boland.
J
Last
week,
I
had
an
opportunity
to
bring
a
boy
scout
through
into
the
chamber
and
they
were
put
in
charge.
They
sat
in
your
seats
here
and
they
voted
and
their
parents
had
to
sit
out
in
the
audience
and
I
think
everyone
had
some
fun
and
then
more
on
a
serious
note.
I
would
like
to
speak
to
our
public
comment
policy
in
relation
to
Olivia
bus
comment
about
why
or
how
we
don't
respond.
J
I,
don't
know
if
most
of
you
know,
for
five
years,
I
stood
on
that
side
of
the
podium
talking
and
so
I
have
a
lot
of
compassion
for
the
courage
that
it
takes
to
get
up
and
speak
in
public
but
I'm.
Several
of
you
remember
when
the
public
comment
was
only
15
minutes,
and
now
it's
a
half
an
hour,
so
I
think
that
we
moved
forward
quite
a
bit.
J
B
D
Thanks
mayor
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
big
shout
out
to
the
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau
for
all
of
the
work
that
they
did
in
organizing
and
running
the
event
for
the
route,
66
eSports
tournament,
and
it's
very
easy
to
see
how
they
have
maintained
the
sheer
number
of
events
of
large
scale.
Events
that
we
get
like
the
basketball,
tournaments
and
cheer
and
dance
state
competitions,
because
the
events
are
just
run
very,
very
professionally
and
all
the
I's
are
dotted
and
the
T's
are
crossed.
And
so
the
event
went
really
well.
L
Thank
You
mayor
just
going
forward
I
wanted
to
remind
people
about
a
cool
event
coming
up
this
weekend
at
the
BC
PA.
It's
actually
three
theatre
performances
run
through
the
coalescence
theater
project.
It's
going
to
be
this
Friday
at
7:30
p.m.
and
then
two
other
shows
a
Sunday
at
2:30
and
7:30,
and
just
some
description
of
it.
I'll
read
from
here.
L
Let's
see
the
coalescence
is
proud
to
present
the
sampling
of
some
of
the
incredible
works
that
are
being
written
by
talented
women,
trans
femme
and
non-binary
playwrights
from
around
the
world.
There's
also
going
to
be
some
local
actors
in
those
it's
only
$10
for
each
performance
or
25
for
all
three,
so
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
great
performance
for
a
low
price
right
here
in
Bloomington.
Thanks
thank.
Q
Just
a
reminder
that
the
first
community
conversation
that
is
being
hosted
by
the
McLean
County
Museum
of
histories
is
tomorrow
at
6:45
and
then
that
particular
conversation
will
be
centering
around
labor.
Then
February
7th
is
towards
the
chocolat.
So
don't
miss
that
plan
to
spend
your
Friday
downtown
with
us,
February
8th,
so
the
next
day
at
Mount
Pisgah,
the
Market
Street
Council,
which
is
the
group
that
has
been
organizing
to
get
a
grocery
store
on
the
west
side,
will
be
doing
an
update
and
I
believe
that
meeting
is
open
to
the
public.
Q
K
K
This
is
hosted
by
BCA
I
school
of
arts,
and
the
focus
is
really
to
provide
the
community
a
free
conference
that
is
about
self-protection,
so
there's
everything
from
cybersecurity
to
kind
of
living
with
trauma
and
how
to
be
resilient
in
the
face
of
that
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
it
on
your
radar
and
I
can
send
out
more
specific
link
information.
Just
for
you
to
share
thank.
