Thank

Is

discussion?
First
of

C
B
D
A
Okay,

with
township
supervisor
skill
route.
Deb,
you
have
the
floor.
E
Okay,
thank
you.
I
apologize
for
not
being
visual
today,
but
I'm
having
trouble
with
connecting
so
I
figured.
G
E
Just
first
off
thank
trustee
trustees,
brave
renter
and
painter
for
their
service
in
the
number
of
years
that
they
served.
We.
E
Am
I
cutting
out?
Yes,
yes,
can
you
hear
me,
we
can't
know.
E
Braver
and
painter
think:
okay,
you
can
okay,
that's
great.
I
want
to
thank
the
trustees
that
will
be
leading
us,
as
this
is
their
last
meeting
today,
trustee
bray,
trustee,
renner
and
trustee
painter.
Thank
you
for
your
service
to
our
community.
We
wish
you
the
township
wishes
you
the
best
in
your
future.
Endeavors.
E
Are
you
still
able
to
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
I
want
to
continue
then,
with
going
to
the
system
activity
report.
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
a
couple
things
from
last
year
to
this
year:
you'll
notice,
there's
a
big
change
in
the
amount
of
general
assistance
that
we've
provided,
and
I
believe
covet
has
really
made
that
change
evident
in
our
workfare
program.
We've
not
presented
any
workfare
expenses
because
workfare
didn't
exist
and
then
number
of
calls
versus
face
to
face.
Definitely
the
calls
have
been
it's.
E
Basically,
the
numbers
have
swapped
around
there's,
not
very
much
face-to-face
interaction
right
now,
we're
hoping
to
get
that
back
as
things
open
up.
E
C
E
Yes,
that
is
exactly
correct,
and
you
know
I
might
add
too
that
in
terms
of
the
rural
townships,
taking
the
rural
townships
on-
and
this
is
just
a
change-
but
it
reflects
with
what
torma
does
all
of
the
townships
that
we're
currently
in
intergovernmental
agreement
to
provide
assistance
in
assessing
the
general
assistance
emergency
assistance
they
all
are-
are
also
paying
into
torma
and
use
torma
as
their
risk
management
pool.
A
Can
you
sorry
that
it
looks
like
all
of
the
trusty
craybill
has
a
question,
so
I
don't
know
if
you
are
done
with
your
comments
or
we
can
wait
or
would
you
like
to
ask.
E
Me
I
have
one
more
comment
and
then
I
would
be
happy
to
address
trustee
cravel.
I
wanted
to
make
note
and-
and
I'm
not
sure
if
everyone
understands
the
significance
of
deb
white's
passing
at
central
community
action.
We're
very
you
know,
disheartened
by
that,
and
we
wish
our
family
well.
E
I
do
want
to
say
that
township
has,
in
the
past,
been
very
open
in
our
communications,
with
midcentral
community
action
to
help
with
assessments
of
any
of
this
cdbg
monies
that
maybe
or
the
csbg
whatever
we
can
do
to
streamline
efforts
in
our
community
with
the
covid
response,
and
so
with
this,
with
her
passing
and
with
the
probably
the
turmoil,
that's
happening
in
terms
of
just
regrouping
with
mid-center
committee
action
or
even
with
the
city.
E
If
there's
any
struggles,
we
are
here
and
if
there's
anything
that
we
can
do
at
township
to
do
the
assessment,
we
do
have
a
qualified
staff
to
do
that.
Our
number's
a
little
lower,
because
I
believe
that
the
federal
funding
and
the
state
funding
that
exists
hasn't
been
exhausted,
so
township's
at
a
lull
at
this
point
and
ready
to
respond
in
any
way
that
we
need
to.
E
And
then
well
trustee
crable,
I'm
ready
for
you
as
well.
D
Thanks,
steph
and-
and
you
may
have
just
answered
this
question,
but
going
back
to
the
system
activity
report,
you
know
I
did
notice.
There
was
a
decrease
between
fiscal
year.
You
know
2020,
you
know
which
was
basically
before
covet
started
to
fiscal
year
2021.
That
was
right
in
cobit
that
the
amount
of
general
assistance
provided
was
less
and
then
same
with
emergency
assistance.
Is
that
just
because
there's
other
aid
available
or
because
of
the
moratoriums?
E
I
would
say
it's
both
trustee
crabill,
the
moratoriums,
once
they're
lifted,
that
we'll
be
seeing
a
lot
more
happening
and
with
the
water
bills
we're
we're
prepared
to
help
in
any
way
we
can
with
water
bills
as
well.
But
at
this
point,
federal
funds
and
the
moratoriums
are
at
federal
and
state
and
then
moratoriums
equally
are
taking
taking
care
of
what
the
needs
are
and
that's
why
we're
ready
to
assist
if
we
have
to
or
need
to,
and
because
we
know
that
the
cdbg
funds
are
being
hit
hard
in
terms
of
this.
E
So
we
do
have
restrictions.
Obviously
the
serp
program
is
not
being
utilized
yet
because
you
know
we're
waiting
for
funds
to
be
exhausted
in
other
agencies,
but
we
are
aware
of
that.
Torm
township
is
a
major,
not
a
major
one
of
the
housing
coalition
members
and
we
are
working
together
to
try
to
solve
those
problems.
E
H
A
Thank
you.
We're
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
township,
assessor
steve
scutter,
for
his
comments.
I
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
all
right,
my
presentation
was
from
the
annual
meeting
some
things
instead
of
going
through
each
slide
individually.
I
The
state
has
given
us
and
the
county
by
not
giving
a
multiplier
to
the
city
of
bloomington
in
the
amount
of
years,
but
at
33
and
a
third
33.33
is
the
department
of
revenues
measurement
for
metric
for
measuring
equity
between
property
assessments
and
sale
prices
and
they're
using
the
sales
prices
of
the
year
after
the
assessments
are
published,
so
we're
predicting
a
sale
price
in
the
future
and
to
maintain
the
level
of
uniformity,
keeping
up
with
sales
prices.
I
I
A
Okay,
I
guess
we're
gonna
move
on
to
the
last
step
of
our
meeting,
which
is
adjournment,
but
I
see
trustee
renner
made
a
grand
entrance,
so
I'm
gonna
give
him
the
honor
of
adjourning
us.
Maybe.
A
J
A
J
A
J
G
J
Okay,
we're
going
to
go
ahead,
and
can
everyone
hear
me
we
good
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
call
the
meeting
of
the
bloomington
city
council
to
order
we're
going
to
start
with
the
pledge
of
allegiance
and
then
remain
well
in
observance
for
a
moment
of
silence
start
with
pledge.
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
united
states
of
america
and
to
the
republic
for
which
it
stands.
One
nation,
under
god
indivisible
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all.
Thank
you.
We
have
a
moment
of.
J
B
L
G
J
H
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council,
quick
update
that
the
vaccination,
the
jansen
or
the
johnson
and
johnson
is
being
administered
at
the
clinton
county
vaccination
site,
which
is
our
arena
and
then
also
just
to
call
a
reminder
to
the
community.
H
J
Thank
you
very
much
and
it
just
just
if
I
could
underscore
that
we're
not
out
of
the
the
woods
yet
so
please
everybody
don't
take
unnecessary
risks.
J
I
think
that's
something
that
we
could
all
agree
on
at
this
point:
we're
going
to
move
to
recognitions
and
appointments
and
they
have
the
service
of
myself
that
I
I
believe,
mayor
pro
tem
mila
wambway
is
going
to
deal
with,
and
then
council
members,
johnny,
painter
and
kim
bray,
and
we
have
council
member
bray
in
the
council
chambers
here
and
so
she's
going
to
directly
receive
her
plaque
and
we'll
make
sure
that
johnny
gets
hers.
But
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
maboka.
A
Sure,
thank
you,
mayor
renner.
I
I
thought
it
would
be
a
little
bit
awkward
for
you
to
present
a
plaque
to
yourself,
so
I've.
A
A
Public
service,
I
know,
is
in
your
blood
and
I'm
sure
you
will
continue
to
serve
the
community
in
many
other
ways,
and
we
certainly
look
forward
to
interacting
with
you
in
whatever
new
role
you
choose
for
yourself.
So
I,
on
behalf
of
all
of
the
council,
but
also
the
the
community,
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
very
much
for
your
eight
years
of
service.
K
J
J
I
appreciate
it
and
I
have
the
distinct
honor
of
presenting
two
plaques
and
in
the
order
of
awards,
one
we'll
start
with
the
johnny
painter
who
actually
had
appointed
back
in
the
winter
of
2014,
when
council
member
jennifer
mcdade
resigned
and
then
johnny
won
two
terms
on
in
her
own
right,
two
years
and
then
four
years
later,
and
so
this
is
presented
to
johnny
painter
in
grateful
appreciation
for
your
outstanding
service
and
leadership
as
council
member
for
the
city
of
bloomington,
and
certainly
we
very
much
appreciate
your
clear,
direct,
honest
approach
and
dedication
to
a
broad
range
of
issues
in
the
entire
time
you've
been
here
so
on
the
on
behalf,
also
of
not
only
the
city
council,
the
city
staff,
the
city
of
bloomington,
but
all
of
our
residents.
J
K
J
I've
got
another
one
here,
and
this
is
for
council
member
kim
bray,
also
in
grateful
appreciation
for
your
outstanding
service
and
leadership
as
council
member
for
the
city
of
bloomington
2017
to
2021,
and
the
beauty
of
this
is
kim-
is
right
here
she's
here
to
to
to
accept
this
and
we're
I'm
going
to.
If
you
want,
you
want
to
come
over
and
get
it
okay,
so
it's
a
kind
of
a
tight
screen,
but
everybody
see
she's
wearing
red
come
on
over
here.
Oh,
I
gotta
put
my
mask.
J
Okay,
again
to
to
council
member
bray
who
was
elected
in
2017,
she
served
ward
9
for
four
years
and
it's
really
been
great
to
have
your
legal
perspective
in
the
legal
profession
and
analytical
thoughts
and
perspectives
on
everything
from
the
downtown
task
force
and
commission
to
all
of
the
things
that
you
have
contributed
to
and
in
service
of
your
award
and
in
particularly
one
of
the
things
that
was
obviously
been
really
critical
to
your
award
has
been
the
you
know.
J
J
We
have
a
proclamation
recognizing
april
as
fair.
Excuse
me,
national,
fair
housing
month
as
recognized
by
the
administration,
and
here
this
is
let
me
in
order
here:
do
we
have
brandon
shaffer
online,
accepting
this
award
brandon?
J
Thank
you
mayor,
oh
good.
Thank
you.
So
much
appreciate
your
your
willingness
to
come
and
accept.
This
is
really
critical,
especially
in
in
light
of
the
the
fact
that,
even
though
our
housing
prices
in
bloomington,
generally
speaking,
are
affordable,
we're
not
alone
many
places,
much
more
expensive,
much
more
difficult,
but
even
in
bloomington
with
a
high
cost
or
excuse
me,
high
average
income,
median
income
and
comparatively
modest
housing
prices.
We
still
have
serious,
affordable
housing,
a
crisis
and
other
kinds
of
issues
related
to
that.
J
But
I'm
going
to
move
for
my
editorial
comments
to
the
proclamation
says,
whereas
the
city
of
bloomington
illinois
finds
that
safe
and
affordable
housing
is
part
of
the
american
dream
and
a
goal
of
illinois
residents,
whereas
individuals
in
the
state
of
illinois
have
the
right
to
choose
where
to
live,
purchase
or
rent
property
without
discrimination
based
on
race,
color,
religion,
age,
sex,
familial
status,
marital
status,
national
origin,
ancestry,
disability,
sexual
orientation,
gender
identity,
military
status,
unfavorable,
military
discharge
and
protection.
J
Now.
Therefore,
I
terry
runner,
mayor
of
the
city
of
bloomington
illinois,
do
proclaim
april
2021
as
national
fair
housing
month
in
bloomington,
and
establish
our
community
as
an
open
and
inclusive
community
committed
to
fair
housing
and
to
promote
appropriate
activities
by
private
and
public
entities
intended
to
provide
or
advocate
for
integration
and
equal
housing
opportunities
for
all
residents
and
prospective
residents
of
our
county.
Thank
you
so
much.
We
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
M
Yeah,
I
would
like
to
thank
you
mayor,
as
well
as
the
city
council
and
the
city
staff
that
assist
us
all
the
time
with
all
of
our
real
estate
needs
when
it
comes
to
the
community.
I'm
brandon
schaefer,
I'm
the
president
of
the
mid-illinois
realtors
association
and
I'd
like
to
congratulate
and
thank
you
for
recognizing
april,
as
fair
housing
month
with
your
proclamation
and
to
just
share
a
sliver's
worth
of
information
about
realtor
efforts
to
affirmatively,
further
fair
housing
as
real
estate
professionals
realtors.
M
M
M
J
Thank
you.
So
much
again,
we
appreciate
all
that
you
do
and
at
this
point
we're
going
to
move
to
our
next
proclamation,
which
is
declaring
may
2021
national
historic
preservation
month,
and
I
understand-
and
this
is
going
to
be
a
shock
to
everyone
that
greg
koos
is
online
to
accept
this,
my
gosh
greg.
Can
you
hear
me.
J
Thanks
this
is
declaring
may
2021
national
historic
preservation
month,
whereas
historic
preservation
is
relevant
for
communities
across
the
nation,
both
urban
and
rural
and
for
americans
of
all
ages,
all
walks
of
life
and
ethnic
backgrounds.
And
whereas
it's
important
to
celebrate
the
role
of
history
in
our
lives
and
the
contributions
made
by
dedicated
individuals
in
helping
to
preserve
the
tangible
aspects
of
the
heritage.
That
has
shaped
us
as
a
people.
Whereas
historic
preservation
is
an
effective
tool
for
managing
growth.
J
Now,
therefore,
I
terry
renner
may
of
the
city
of
bloomington
illinois
do
proclaim,
may
2021
to
be
national
historic
preservation
month
in
the
city
of
bloomington
and
ask
I
call
upon
the
people
of
of
bloomington
illinois
to
join
their
fellow
citizens
across
the
united
states
in
recognizing
and
sharing
this
special
observance.
Thank
you
very
much
and
we'll.
We
appreciate
this
and
all
the
work
that
you
do
some
comments
that
you
might
have
greg.
N
Thank
you,
terry.
The
I'm
accepting
this
on
behalf
of
your
bloomington
historic
preservation.
Commission,
I'm
vice
chair
of
that
the
city
of
bloomington
has
a
healthy
and
well-managed
historic
preservation
program.
The
staff
support
to
the
commission
is
superb,
first
rate,
really
developed
a
very
fine
set
of
people
to
work
with
us
on
these
issues.
N
N
If
you
add
the
housing
from
before
1950,
you
pick
up
another
300
square
blocks,
or
so
so
it
is.
A
big
chunk
of
your
city
is
historic.
The
commission
is
pleased
that
the
city
has
funded
the
grant
programs
which
allow
individual
homeowners
to
show
leadership
in
the
techniques
and
the
effects
of
historic
preservation
properly
conducted.
N
So
we
end
up
creating
model
examples.
We
end
up
creating
and
working
in
neighborhoods
where
people
can
see
the
overall
impact
of
well-managed
and
well-preserved
homes,
and
so
the
investment
that
the
city
makes
in
individual
properties,
whether
they're
downtown
or
whether
in
your
historic
districts,
have
a
much
broader
impact.
They
show
confidence,
they
show
appreciation
and
they
show
the
seriousness
of
the
city's
efforts
to
preserve
its
historic
environment.
So
again,
I
would
like
to
thank
you
all
for
engaging
and
for
supporting
these
activities.
J
Thank
you
again
greg.
We
appreciate
it
very
much
and
we'll
make
sure
that
you
get
a
copy
of
this
or
not.
You
copy
us.
I'm
sorry
that
you
get
the
the
a
presentation
here.
Excuse
me.
I
got
to
grab
my
glasses
okay.
Next
we
are
celebrating
arbor
day
and
we
do
have
carol
gunning
carol.
Are
you
there.
J
Moderate
the
temperature
clean,
the
air
produce
life-giving
oxygen
and
provide
habitat
for
wildlife
and
whereas
trees
are
a
renewable
resource,
giving
us
paper,
wood
for
our
homes,
fuel
for
our
fires
and
countless
other
wood
products
and
whereas
trees
in
our
city,
increase
property
values,
enhance
the
economic
vitality
of
business
areas
and
beautify
our
community
and
whereas
trees,
wherever
they
are
planted,
are
a
soil
source
of
joy
and
spiritual
renewal.
Now,
therefore,
I
terry
renner,
mayor
of
the
city
of
bloomington
illinois,
do
proclaim
april
30th.
J
That's
this
friday,
2021
as
arbor
day
in
the
city
of
bloomington.
I
urge
all
citizens
to
celebrate
arbor
day
and
to
support
efforts
to
protect
our
trees
and
woodlands.
Thank
you,
and
I
also
excuse
me.
I
urge
all
citizens
to
plant
trees,
to
gladden
the
heart
and
promote
the
well-being
of
this
and
future
generations.
O
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
say
we're
very
excited
to
celebrate
arbor
day
with
our
d.a.r
chapter
by
planting
a
tree
in
honor
of
helen
killian,
who
some
of
you
may
know
at
the
david
davis
mansion
this
friday.
I
also
want
to
thank
mayor
mayor
renner
and
the
whole
city
council
for
issuing
this
proclamation
for
us.

Okay
and
then
those
those
that

group
other
than
the
first

were
all
reappointments
just
to
clarify.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Now
we
move
to
public
comment.
Madam
clerk,
do
we
have
anyone
present
who
has
registered
for
public
comment
to
speak
directly
to
us.
B
We
do
we
have
two
individuals
who
register
for
public
comment
and
are
in
person,
and
we
have
two
who
registered
for
public
comment
and
are
on
the
line.
If
you
wouldn't
mind,
you
can
start
with
those
who
are
in
person.
P
Q
Generations
to
come
that
will
never
be
able
to
pay
down
this
debt.
Do
you
recall
that
you
referred
to
a
bloomington
residence,
the
worthless
piece
of
garbage?
Do
you
recall
the
fact
that
you
used
a
city
credit
card
to
entertain
your
girlfriend
and
the
only
reason
you
got
paid
it
back?
Was
you
got
caught?
Q
I
would
have
thought
that
when
you
called
diane
benjamin
a
worthless
piece
of
garbage,
that
would
have
been
grounds
for
removal
from
office
right
then,
just
because
the
city
did
not
have
an
ordinance
addressing
that,
then
you
got
a
hold
of
throwing
a
fit
letting
alderman
carrillo
throw
a
fit
because
some
of
the
people
she
wanted
elected
didn't
get
it
elected
and
that's
like
ass,
acting
acting
well
beneath
an
old
one.
Q
Q
But
I
guess
you
really
don't
care?
Do
you
and
you
know
I
guess
the
thing
is
the
the
city.
Basically
has
no
competition
on
garbage
water.
I
brought
this
up
before
and
they
keep
raising
rates
and
it
used
to
be
that
a
water
bill
would
be
around
10
and
now
it's
over
70.,
but
you
keep
adding
all
these
lousy
things
in
there
that
we
were
getting
included
in
our
taxes,
such
as
garbage
such
as
storm
water.
Q
It's
criminal
that
the
fact
that
you
can
sit
there
and
laugh
about
all
this
and
terry.
I
don't
think
it's
funny.
I
really
don't.
Q
R
Hi,
my
name
is
alan
max
axelrod,
I'm
the
campaign
lead
of
a
group
called
no
american
shutoffs,
we're
a
zero
dollar
all-volunteer
grassroots
coalition
of
53
organizations
and
counting
spanning
the
state
of
illinois,
north
and
south
east
and
west.
We
have
won
four
utility
shut
off
moratoria
in
lieu
of
rehashing
all
of
the
pandemic
data.
R
Two
days
later,
ammon
illinois
lied
about
the
weather
and
stopped
utility
shutoffs
or
announced
that
they
would
stop
utility
shutoffs
on
november
18th.
The
24-hour
forecast
is
the
only
thing
that
governs
whether
or
not
a
corporation
can
actually
engage
in
utility
shutoffs
and
they
misrepresented
those
facts
april
19th.
Last
week,
2021,
you
all
unanimously
passed
an
initiative
on
utility
shutoffs
because
they
have
resumed.
R
The
attorney
general
last
month
said
that
there
are
over
800
000
households
at
risk
of
utility
shutoffs,
so
that
does
some
good,
but
nowhere
near
enough,
the
illinois,
commerce
commission
is
the
body
that
ultimately
regulates
utilities
but
doesn't
have
the
power
to
enact
a
moratorium.
It's
the
governor.
B
S
Yes,
I
can
I'm
here.
I
appreciate
the
appreciate
the
time
this
evening,
mr
mayor
and
council
members.
My
comments
tonight
are
in
regards
to
items
o
and
p
on
the
agenda.
S
Rezoning
and
pud
approval
request
for
the
land,
just
north
of
fuller
court
along
bike
road,
I'm
an
adjacent
property
owner,
I'm
also
work
professionally
with
property
valuation
and
finance
and
have
a
history
of
actually
owning
a
similar
type
of
property
that
is
being
proposed
to
be
put
in
there
and
basically,
I
just
kind
of
want
to.
S
I
know
I
emailed
everyone
some
concerns
and
a
kind
of
a
lengthy
letter
attached
there,
but
I
just
wanted
to
vocalize
my
opposition
to
those
to
those
proposed
chainings
and
just
kind
of
reiterate
the
poor
financial
investment
that
that
type
of
home
can
be,
and
I
most
the
biggest
problem
is
most
people
don't
even
realize
how
bad
of
an
investment
it
is
until
they
actually
go
to
sell
it
and
just
kind
of
other
items
of
concern.
S
Obviously,
the
whole
purpose
of
the
zoning
regulations
is
for
some
sort
of
orderly
development
within
the
city,
not
necessarily
just
a
checkerboard
zoning
of.
S
If
somebody
was
willing
to
build
it,
then
let
him
do
it,
but
to
do
it
in
orderly
fashion,
and
I
I
didn't
find
anywhere
else
where
you
have
an
r4
zoning
sandwich
between
two
residentially
zoned
areas
such
as
being
proposed
here
I
did
go
and
I
spoke
to
a
number
of
my
neighbors
and
they
were
overwhelmingly
opposed
to
the
proposed
change,
a
number
of
my
neighbors
and
people
who
bought
along
fuller
court
back
when
that
was
originally
built
when
those
were
new
construction.
S
I
talked
to
a
couple
of
people
who
bought
those
homes
new
who
said
that
their
builder
told
them
that
at
the
at
when
they
bought
it
originally
that
those
homes
would
be
act,
there
would
be
a
park
that
would
be
built
either
along
fuller
court
or
in
the
area
or
in
this
vacant
lot,
which
is
adjacent
to
it,
which
is
actually
the
subject
of
of
the
thing
and
just
kind
of
want
to
point
out
that
the
you
know
there
is
very
limited
recreation
in
the
area
as
well.
S
Obviously
you
know
there's
the
bike
trail,
which
runs
adjacent
to
bike
road,
which
is
a
55
mile,
an
hour,
speed
limit,
which
is
you
know,
almost
unwalkable,
because
it
you
know,
you
walk
the
whole
time
with
your
head
turned
over
your
shoulder
waiting
for
a
car
to
come
off
the
road
to
hit
you.
So
you
know
adding
this
number
of
homes
with
bringing
in
families
and
a
poor
financial
investment.
It
all
adds
up
to
something
that
I
don't
think
is
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city.
Thank
you
for
thank
you
for
your
time.
J
T
G
U
Yeah,
okay,
I
live
in
ward
five
and
I'm
happy
that
candidate
nick
becker
was
elected
to
the
position.
The
city
council
and
I
intend
to
call
in
next
week
also,
but
I'm
also
saddened
that
we
again
have
too
much
drama
in
bloomington,
normal
or
bloomington
centered
around
candidates
and
politicians
and
stuff,
and
my
opinion
then
today
is
that
I
appreciate
the
city
council
taking
some
action
against
one
of
the
members
there.
U
I
also
want
to
give
my
public
opinion
that
you
know
maybe
that
maybe
really
need
to
dig
deeper
and
see.
What's
going
on.
I
I
actually
think
the
media
has
a
part
to
blame
in
this.
U
I
think
the
media
has
been
biased
and
unfortunately,
when
bias
in
the
media
happens,
you
don't
get
abacus
advocacy
of
truth.
U
So
so
I
I
speak
my
opinion
both
to
the
city
council
and
to
the
media
that
the
conduct
of
one
of
the
members
there
alder
alderman
creo
that
it
is.
You
know
it
goes
far
near
far
and
wide.
You
know,
and
and
it's
just
sad
that
again
bloomington
is
caught
up
in
some
drama,
and
I
don't
know
when
this
is
all
gonna.
U
Come
down,
but
I
just
encourage
the
city
council
to
be
ever
vigilant
on
this
and
plus
any
media
that
they
give
true
media
coverage
and
not
just
their
biases.
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay,.
J
V
Yes,
I'd
like
to
ask
that
item
number
or
letter
n
to
be
removed.
J
N:
okay,
anyone
else
council,
member
bolan.
S
J
All
right
anything
else,
madam
kirk,
I'm
trying
to
see.
If
I
I
don't
see
anybody
else,
okay,
that's
it!
Okay!
So
do
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
as
presented
with
the
exception
of
items
n,
o.
J
H
D
J
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
going
to
turn
to
councilman
ward
she's,
the
first
one
and
you
had
pulled
item
in
molly,
go
ahead.
V
Yes,
I
would
like
to
I
asked
for
this
to
be
removed
because
I'd
like
it
to
be
amended,
I
would
like
to
move
that
the
amount
of
hundred
82
eighty
four
dollars
be
reduced
to
fifteen
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifty
three
and
that
the
remaining
67
131
be
returned
to
the
general
fund
for
use
during
fiscal
year,
22
on
improvements
at
street
crossing
areas
to
make
them
ada
compliant.
V
J
Second
by
council
member
bray?
At
this
point,
I'm
going
to
return
to
the
maker
of
the
motion
anything
else.
You
would
like
to
add
molly.
V
Yeah,
I
I
am
not
against
brick
street
improvements.
I
have
brick
streets
in
my
own
neighborhood,
I
one
of
the
very
first
things
I
ever
spoke
to
the
council
about
had
to
do
with
brick
streets
years
and
years
ago.
I
have
nothing
against
brick
streets.
At
the
same
time,
I
can't
in
good
conscience,
vote
to
spend
this
amount
of
money
on
brick
streets
when
we
have
so
many
street
crossings
and
other
issues
regarding
ada
compliance,
I
have
neighbors
who
cannot
safely
get
to
the
grocery
store,
who
cannot
safely
get
out
to
vote?
V
It's
a
safety
issue
and
it's
an
accessibility
issue,
and
I
think
that
by
this
kind
of
a
compromise
we
are
allowing
for
us
to
send
a
signal
that
ada
accessibility
is
important
to
us.
We
have
not
updated
the
the
the
plan,
which
is
still
in
draft
status,
the
accessibility
transition
plan
since
2015
so
six
years
now
that
that
hasn't
been
updated
for
the
last
three
years
we
have,
we
have
shifted,
we've
reallocated
money,
that's
been
left
over
from
the
rust
grant
programs
to
brick
streets.
V
We've
spent
89
000
since
fiscal
year,
18
on
this,
and
we
can.
We
can
cover
some
sidewalk
curb
cuts.
For
example,
the
average
sidewalk
curb
cut
is
runs
about
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
a
piece
and
we
can
cover
quite
a
few
of
those
with
some
of
the
money.
That's
that
we're
talking
about,
and
I'd
like
to
see
us
be
intentional
about
that.
So
that's
my
thinking.
V
F
J
F
You
and
thank
you
for
the
the
very
thoughtful
rationale
I
just
want
to
register
that
it's
too
bad
that
we
have
to
think
about
funding
for
ada
compliance
versus
funding
for
brick
streets.
I
wish
there
were
a
way
that
it
didn't
seem
to
be
an
either
or
proposition,
and-
and
I
have
a
question
just
about
the
nature
of
the
historic
preservation
funds
is-
are
we
able
to
reallocate
those
funds
to
the
operating
budget
in
the
way
that
alderwoman
ward
has
suggested?
F
I
mean,
in
other
words,
my
understanding
is
that
the
rust
grant
is
is
used
in
a
very
particular
way
and
that
funding
was
for
historic
resident
or
people
who
live
in
historic
residences
to
apply
for
a
grant
to
be
supported
through
rest
funds.
For
those
ada
upgrades.
H
I'm
not
sure
that
I
have
the
answer.
Jeff
would
you
know
anything
about
the
uses
of
the
funds
and,
if
not
that's
an
answer,
I
could
provide
prior
to
the
next
council
meeting.
L
I
would
want
to
confirm
as
well
I
I
thought
that
the
russ
grants
were
funded
through
the
general
fund,
but
I
hate
him
also
shaking
her
head.
Yes,
so
I
think
that's
correct,
so
if
it
is
funded
through
the
general
fund,
then
the
next
component
of
this
I
think,
according
to
council,
member
ward,
is
when
this
comes
back
to
the
council
for
a
council
amendment
we'll
also
address
that,
but
this
motion
on
the
table
will
just
lower
that
that
brick
to
that
fifteen
thousand
dollar
amount.
J
I
actually
just
wanted
molly
if
I
could,
along
these
lines
relative
to
something
that
councilmember
emig
mentioned.
Why
is
there
a
trade-off
necessarily
between
brick
streets
and
making
ada
compliance.
V
I'm
not
saying
don't
do
anything
for
brick
streets
this
year
that
the
15
653
represents
seven
utility
repairs
that
that
were
on
a
list
as
as
kind
of
high
priority
for
this
year,
and
that's
how
how
I'm
coming
to
that
that
amount
and
that
there
I
guess
there
are
16
pending
brick
street
repairs,
and
so
with
that
15
hundred
and
fifty
three
we
would
knock
out
seven
of
them
and
so
I'm
not
proposing
it's
an
either
or
I'm
suggesting
it's
a
both
and
and
that
we
can
put
some
toward
brick
streets
in
addition
to
the
89
000
that
we've
done
over
the
last
three
years
from
the
the
rust
grant
leftover
money,
but
that
perhaps
it's
also
time
to
send
a
signal
that
ada
compliance
is
also
something
that's
important
to
us.
V
Over
the
years,
we've
made
the
decision
that
that
the
rust
funds
could
be
used
toward
accessibility.
So
far,
nothing
has
been
spent
from
those
rest
funds
toward
accessibility.
V
J
H
I
can
pull
that
up
see
if
I've
got
a
recent
email
that
I
could
do.
H
Real
quick
mayor,
I
I
didn't
see
economic
development
and
community
development
director
melissa
hahn
on
melissa.
Do
you
want
to
take
a
stab
at
the
original
question
that
jeff
and
I
passed
on.
P
J
J
Okay,
thank
you.
I'm
gonna
turn
to
councilmember
cradle.
D
Thank
you,
mayor,
yeah,
great
question.
You
had
and
I
look
forward
to
to
the
answer
on
that
molly.
D
I
really
appreciate
the
comments
that
that
you
made
and
I
I
generally
agree
with
them,
but
I
just
want
to
kind
of
touch
a
little
bit
on
on
the
original
purpose
of
of
the
russ
grants
and
making
you
know
downtown
businesses
more
accessible,
and
I
don't
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
you
know
forgetting
about
that
and-
and
just
you
know,
like
you
said,
I
think,
keeping
in
mind
that
you
know
this
is
for
the
benefit
of
the
people
with
disabilities
so
that
they
could
fully
live
their
lives
like
anyone
else
and-
and
I
think
things
like
you
know-
sidewalk
cuts
those
types
of
things
to
make
those
ada
accessible.
D
That
should
be
from
that
that
should
be
paid
for
whether
it's
through
streets
or
sidewalk
budgets,
not
through
a
grant.
You
know
same
thing
with
bricks
right.
You
know
we
set
aside,
saying
we're
going
to
do
this
type
of
work
and
we
should
have
this
shouldn't
be
coming
from
grant
money
for
accessibility.
I
mean
that's
just
just
my
opinion
but
I'll
leave.
It
at
that
anyone.
J
Else:
okay,
james
councilmember,
matt.
C
V
Foremost,
in
my
mind,
has
to
do
with
simply
having
curb
cuts
that
allow
people
who
are
not
able
to
easily
navigate
stepping
down
from
a
curb
or
stepping
up
from
a
curb
to
get
across
the
street.
That's
what
I'm
talking
about
with
street
crossing
areas.
There
are
also
other
issues
with
regard
to
street
crossings
that
that
need
to
be
attended
to,
and
that
has
to
one,
for
example,
has
to
do
with
with
having
audible
signals
at
street
crossings,
so
that
people
can,
who
are,
are
visually
impaired
are
able
to
safely
cross
the
street.
V
There
are
numerous
issues
with
that
in
the
downtown
area
as
well,
and
the
the
street
crossings
in
terms
of
the
curb
cuts
and
so
forth
are
are
just
they're
overwhelming
in
terms
of
of
how
much
of
a
problem
that
is
so.
Those
are
the
two
things
that
that
I
was
primarily
referring
to.
C
V
I'm
fine
with
doing
that
too,
but
at
this
point
we
have
this
amount
of
money.
Why
not?
Why
not
put
the
brick
streets
in
the
in
the
street
repair
budget?
It's
the
same!
It's
by
by
that
way
of
thinking.
We
should
be
allocating
a
million
dollars
for
for
brick
street
repairs
from
the
the
the
street
repair
budget.
C
Okay,
so
I'm
gonna
be
voting
no
to
this
one,
not
because
I
don't
think
accessibility
is
important,
but
I
think
that
we
should
just
better
prioritize
the
way
that
money
is
already
budgeted.
You
you're
right
that
we
could
budget
money
for
brick
streets.
However,
that
has
not
been
the
will
of
council
to
actually
fund
the
master
streets
plan
of
brick
streets
plan
that
we
we
passed
years
ago,
so
getting
a
little
bit
of
money
to
provide.
C
C
It
seems
unfair
to
me
to
take
money
away
from
one
group
and
move
it
someplace
else
when
we
already
have
a
pot
of
money
that
is
set
aside
specifically
for
sidewalks
I
get
where
you're
coming
from.
I
I
just
think
that
you
know
this
is
not
the
right
pool
of
money
to
move
and
we'd
be
better
served
by
just
reprioritizing
how
the
sidewalks
are
repaired
in
the
city.
C
If
there
are
issues
that
you
believe
you
know,
I
would
fully
support
an
amendment,
your
your
council
amendment
when
you
get
to
it
to
say
we
want
to
prioritize
these
things
in
our
sidewalks,
using
the
money
that
we
already
allocated.
100
percent
behind
you.
I
just
don't
think
that
this
is
the
pool
of
money
that
I
would
allocate
to
that.
J
I'm
going
to
turn
to
come
to
city
manager.
Gleason
he's
got
the
answer
to
the
early
question.
Mr
gleason.
H
H
There
is
1.2
million
dollars
budgeted
annually
for
the
sidewalks
about
20
percent
of
the
budget
goes
to
making
corner
ramps.
Ada
compliant
about
60
percent,
goes
removing
a
replacing
and
replacing
lengths
of
sidewalks
along
city
blocks,
and
the
remaining
20
percent
of
the
budget
goes
to
addressing
specific
ada
complaints
and
spot
locations
where
the
sidewalks
have
shifted
vertically.
J
Okay,
all
right
anybody,
anyone
else
before
we
call
the
question
here,
madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
role
please.
B
J
Okay,
customer
bowling.
W
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment,
real,
quick,
that
it's
my
understanding
every
time
they
resurface
streets
that
they
have
to
replace
the
ramps,
so
that
would
be
part
of
the
street
or
asphalt
concrete
type
work.
That's
allocated
from
the
gas
tax
right.
X
Yeah,
I
am
in
agreement
with
council
member
ward
that
the
80,
like
I
don't
think
the
point
that
she's
making
is
that
we
aren't
spending
any
money
on
ada.
But
it's
that
if
this
is,
I
don't
she's,
not
the
person
who's
proposing
that
we
reallocate
this
money.
We
got
a
proposal
from
staff
about
this
money
being
repurposed
for
something
else,
and
I
think
that
I
think
the
thing
the
thing
to
do
here
is
is
to
prioritize
ada.
X
But
I'd
really
like
to
see
us
keep
this
money
downtown
as
much
as
possible
and
have
it
go
towards
businesses
who
struggle
to
to
make
their
facilities
ada
compliant.
We
already
offer
matching
programs,
so
I
think
that
that
would
be
a
good
compromise
for
a
place
that
this
can
go.
That
can
that
can
benefit
us.
So
I
guess
the
question
is
for
council
member
ward
about
how
whether
she
would
be
open
to
amendments
or
whether
she
wants
the
the
proposal.
V
You
know
I'm
I'm
open
to
to
businesses,
making
helping
businesses
become
more
ada
compliant,
but
at
this
point
no
none
of
the
businesses
applied
for
that
opportunity.
The
rust
grant
already
allows
them
to
do
that,
and
nobody
did
that
this
year,
and
apparently
very
few
of
them
did
that
since
2018
and
so
the
money.
That's
why
the
money
is
there
to
begin
with.
X
X
Well,
maybe
the
reason
that
folks
aren't
coming
through,
particularly
in
in
the
times
of
a
pandemic,
but
you
know
that
those
updates
aren't
their
biggest
priority
and
if
we
could
contribute
a
bigger
piece,
then
folks
would
take
us
up
and
would
be
willing
to
put
in
a
quarter
if
we
could
put
in
three
quarters.
So
that's
something
that
I
would
be
interested
in
in
exploring.
I
guess
sorry,
if
I
didn't
make
that.
V
X
Would
be
open
to
that
amendment
yeah
so
then
I
I
can
I
make
that.
J
Go
ahead
and
if
we
have
a
second,
if,
if
the
maker
of
the
motion
is
is
okay
with
this,
the
the
amendment
and
then
we'd
ask
the
seconder.
L
Jeff
yeah,
just
for
a
point
of
clarification,
I
think
the
the
motion
on
this,
though,
is
reducing
the
contract
amount
with
george
gildner
and
then
the
next
discussion
through
an
initiative,
will
be
on
the
use
of
the
remaining
funds,
and
things
like
that.
So
I
just
want
to
clarify
if
it's,
if
it's
still
the
intent
to
lower
the
the
amendment
to
that
15
000
and
some
change
that
you
mentioned
or
if
it's
now
more
than
just
that,
just
to
get
that
clear
for
the
record.
J
Yeah,
I
think
this
is
it's
getting
increasingly
confusing
here.
Councilman
reward,
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
you.
Do
you
understand
what
the
question
is
then?
The
concern
by
legal.
V
Certainly
and
I'm
happy
to
to
amend
the
amendment
to
move
that
the
amount
of
eighty
two
thousand
seven
hundred
and
eighty
four
dollars
be
reduced
to
fifteen
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifty
three
and
that
the
remaining
67
131
be
returned
to
the
general
fund
for
use
during
fiscal
year.
22
on
increasing
the
amount
that
the
city
will
provide
businesses
seeking
grants
in
order
to
be
more
ada
compliant.
L
L
Yeah
and
I
apologize
since
that's
not
specifically
on
the
agenda,
my
my
recommendation
would
treat
this
in
two
parts.
The
first
part
tonight
being
lowering
this
award
to
fifteen
thousand
six
fifty
three
and
then
we
can
come
back
later
with
the
budget
amendment
and
the
that
designation
of
the
use
of
funds.
If,
if
that
is
all
right,.
X
J
Okay,
so
the
who
was
the
second
of
the
motion.
Oh
a
council
member
bray.
Are
you?
Okay
with
that
amendment
kim.
J
So
we
have
a
motion
that
is
amended
on
the
floor,
which
is
again
jeff.
You
can
clarify
to
reduce
this
amount
to
15
000
or
whatever
the
amount
was
161.31
that
was
cited
earlier
and
that
the
determination
of
that
will
be
made
at
a
later
point
in
terms
of
how
that
is
allocated.
Is
that
correct,
okay?
Madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
role
on
the
motion
as
amended.
J
Council,
member
painted
yeah
okay
we've.
Actually,
this
is
we've
actually
spent
more
time
on
this
franklin
than
we
spent
on
the
entire
budget
council
member
painter
go
ahead.
A
B
D
J
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
We're
gonna
next
go
to
the
items
that
were
pulled
council,
member,
bolan,
item
o
and
then
item
p
o
is
in
ostrich.
Oh
well,
council,
member
matthew,
I'm
sorry.
J
W
W
I
start
with
p
and
it
has
to
do
with
the
zoning.
Mr
taylor
made
the
public
comment
about
this
particular
item.
He
also
attended
both
commission
meetings
and
he's
been
sending
emails.
I've
gotten
several
emails
from
residents.
I've
done
a
lot
of
due
diligence
on
this.
I
reached
out
to
all
the
council
members
with
what
I
call
my
novella.
It
was
a
two-page
summary
with
all
the
background
and
most
of
the
stuff
was
a
negative
feedback.
W
So
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
make
a
motion
to
reject
the
zoning
amendment,
but
I
would
like
to
also
have
some
discussion.
J
Okay,
I'm
sure
there
will
be-
let's
see
if
there's
a
second
to
that.
Is
there
a
second
to
that
motion?
I'm!
I
can't
see
everybody
here,
madam
quirk.
However,
I've
got
this
second
by
councilmember
bray.
I
I
just
have
a
quick
question.
Customer
the
the
the
negative
feedback.
The
did
mr
taylor
speak.
Was
he
at
in
the
zoning
board,
because
his
only
board
approved
this.
J
And
I
would
just
like
to
say,
because
I
wasn't
at
the
zoning
board,
but
this
is
proposed.
This
proposed
development
was
something
that
was
discussed
to
me
again.
This
is,
of
course,
hearsay.
The
zoning
board
couldn't
consider
this
anyway
by
one
of
the
most
responsible,
aggressive
developers
bobby
veracella,
that
we
have
in
our
community.
You
know
quite
a
while
quite
some
time
ago,
and
we
I
saw
some
of
the
concerns
and
I'm
just
gonna
turn
it
to
you.
Donna,
I'm
still
confused
as
to
what
the
concerns
are.
J
J
Assuming
assuming
something
like
that,
could
I
think
something
like
that
you
could
probably
boil
down
to
three
sentences
right.
What
does
the
two
or
three
things?
What
what
are
they
concerned
about?
Is
it
just
that
they
don't
want
frankly,
you
know,
did
they
not
I?
This
is
the
rough
way
to
put
it.
Is
they
not
just
want
poor
people
near
them.
W
It
donna
first
of
all,
both
the
both
the
the
comprehensive
plan
and
the
zoning
ordinance
says
that
there
needs
to
be
orderly
development
and,
if
you
look
at
that
that
stretch
of
land
along
bike
road,
it
starts
with
manufacturing
with
the
ferrero
and
the
new
way.
The
next
plot
of
land
is
a
c1
which
is
medium
density,
single
family
housing.
The
next
plot
of
land
is
that
I
said
c2
the
first
one
is
c2.
The
next
one
is
c1
which
allows
for
single
family
detached
and
duplexes
and
triplexes
so
multi-family,
and
then
so.
W
W
W
O
W
Both
I
mean
I
went
to
the
zoom
on
both
meetings.
I
talked
to
the
well,
I
talked
to
bobby.
I
talked
to
the
realtor,
that
is
on
the
other
side
of
the
sale,
I'm
very
concerned
and
sympathetic
with
habitat
for
humanity,
because
they're
the
ones
that
are
trying
to
sell
the
property
so
that
they
can
use
it
to
build,
affordable
housing,
and
you
know
on
individual
plots
closer
to
the
core.
Now
also
my
issue
is,
and
again
this
goes
back
to
the
comp
plan
and
the
zone.
Zoning
ordinance,
the.
W
W
The
the
developer
presented
to
the
planning
commission
that
the
closest
type
of
the
same
type
of
development
along
bike,
road
was
prairie
place
and
prairie
place
is,
is
zoned
as
rh1,
which
is
for
the
purpose
of
manufactured
housing
on
permanent
foundations,
where
the
lot
is
owned
by
the
homeowner
manufactured
home
parks
are
manufactured,
houses,
put
on
a
slab
and
rented
from
the
developer.
W
W
J
Oh,
I
I'm
asking
you
questions.
So
thank
you.
Anybody
anybody,
other
questions,
comments,
council,
member,
craybill
and
bray.
D
D
I've
reviewed
all
the
planning
commission,
packets
and
listened
to
both
planning
commission
meetings,
because
you
know
I'm
all
for
affordable
housing,
but-
and
this
is
shown
in
and
don,
I
don't
know
if
you
mentioned
what
strong
town
says
about
these
types
of
developments,
but
I
am
concerned
about
the
people
that
would
live
in
the
park.
D
They
don't
own
the
land
and-
and
there
has
been
examples
in
this
community
where
those
homeowners
have
been
abused
me
financially,
because
these
homes
don't
appreciate
in
value
they
decrease
in
value
right
and
so
and
what
there's
been?
You
know
what
I've
been
told.
You
know,
of
course,
not
with
mr
versely,
because
he
doesn't
own
one
yet
or
built
one
yet,
but
others
that
have
you
know?
D
Basically,
you
know
when
you
want
to
sell
your
house,
you
want
to
leave
right,
it's
you
know
you
have
to
find
another
owner
and
they
have
to
be
approved
by
the
owner
of
the
property
and
the
owner.
D
Can
abuse
that
privilege
by
saying
oh,
I'm
going
to
reject
that
new
that
buyer
I'm
going
to
reject
this
buyer,
but
you
can
sell
it
to
me
for
about
10
000
less
if
you'd
like
and
then
eventually
it's
a
rental
property
right
and
then
you
know
how
well
is
is:
are
they
going
to
maintain
that
rental
property
for
people?
You
know
people
coming
in,
so
I
just
think
it's
it's
a
bad.
C
Y
Bray
you
mayor-
and
I
I
seconded
this
motion,
because
I
I
too
spent
some
time
reviewing
this.
Certainly
we
do
have
a
community
member
who
has
you
know
really
performed
well
in
in
development
in
our
city,
and
we
certainly
appreciate
that
and
and
just
that,
that
kind
of
professionalism
and
and
and
the
work
that's
done
there.
But
at
the
same
time
we
can't
go
at
this
from
the
standpoint
of
personality.
We
have
to
look
at
the
project
and
I
spent
oh
gosh.
Y
Two
three
hours
down
visiting
the
site
also
visited
the
the
site
that
was
or
the
particular
park
that
was
set
out
as
an
example
and
had
the
opportunity
to
interview
some
of
the
folks
that
are
living
in
that
particular
park.
Again.
That
was
used
as
an
example,
and
I
believe
the
person
that
I
one
one
of
the
people
that
really
impressed
me
was
someone
who's
lived
in
that
particular
park
for
decades
and
made
mention
that
he's
he's.
Y
He
can't
sell
his
property
and
I
also
did
some
measurements
and
there's
just
difficulty
selling
them
because
of
the
value.
I
believe
it
did
some
research
after
that
and
found
out
that
those
particular
homes
were
going
to
sell
around
eighty
thousand.
Seventy
eight
eighty
thousand
dollars,
but
yet
this
park
is,
is
talking
about
150
000
that
didn't
quite
seem
to
match.
That
park
has
those
folks
own
their
own
ground
the
proposed
park,
the
folks
won't
own
their
own
ground.
I
don't
really
see
this
as
an
affordable
housing
issue.
Y
I
see
it
as
a
mismatch
between
you
know
a
project
idea
in
this
particular
site
and
so
for
that
reason
I'll
be
voting
no.
J
You'll
be
voting
well,
but
the
proposed
that
the
motion
is
to
is
to
deny.
V
Yeah
I'd
I'd
like
to
speak
up
in
favor
of
of
allowing
this
project
to
go
forward
based
on
the
impact
that
it
will
have
on
habitat
for
humanity's
efforts
to
provide
affordable
housing,
keep
in
mind
that
the
property
is
undeveloped
now
because
they
because
habitat
doesn't
have,
you
know,
have
the
means
to
to
develop
it
and
that
they
can
use
the
funds
from
the
sale
of
this
to
provide
affordable
housing
in
the
core
and
I'd
like
to
to
not
let
that
go
go
without
comment,
because
I
think
that,
if
we're
talking
about
wanting
to
further
the
goal
of
affordable
housing,
it's
an
open
field
right
now.
V
J
Z
Z
But
since
this
is
habitat,
you
know
they
could
build
some
really
fine,
affordable
housing,
and
it
would
not
be
a
problem
for
the
neighbors.
We
would
have
you
know
a
good
tax
base
there.
I
think
in
the
long
run
it
would
be
a
wash.
So
I
I
just
I'd
like
you
to
consider
that
as
well.
J
Thank
you
anybody
else.
I
I've
got
council
member
emic.
F
Yeah,
thank
you.
This
has
been.
This
has
also
been
a
really
challenging
issue
for
me
for
all
the
reasons
everyone
is
mentioned,
I
I
just
want
to
point
out
too,
that
the
the
location
of
of
these
manufactured
homes
they're
not
really
accessible
to
a
grocery
store
or,
or
you
know,
just
public
transportation
as
well,
and
that's
just
another
consideration.
F
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
some
of
the
feedback
I've
received
suggests
that
real
estate,
the
market,
is
changing
significantly,
that
these
kinds
of
ohms
might
in
fact
be
really
reasonable
investments
as
they
improve
and
become
more
sustainable
in
terms
of
energy,
and
that
it
won't
so
much
be
a
loss
of
of
your
equity.
F
But
but
in
the
end,
it
does
seem
that
there
are
enough
concerns
about
about
having
a
land
landowner
be
be
responsible
for
that,
and
I
really
appreciate
what
what
alderman
bray
said
about
the
the
fit
like
finding
the
right
thing,
and
so
I
I'll
I'll
not
support
this.
But
I
also
encourage
us
to
really
therefore
think
about
what
affordable
housing
can
and
should
be
in
this
community
and
how
to
do
it
so
that
that
we
really
are
thinking
about
the
long-term
ramifications.
W
W
So
that's
the
definition
of
affordable
housing
and
actually
there's
a
trend
coming
along.
I
believe
it's
in
hayworth
that
I
found
out
from
the
realtors
that
modular
homes
are
becoming
very
popular
they're,
also
affordable.
Just
like
the
manufactured
homes
they
can
be,
they
can
be
set
up
rapidly
like
a
manufactured
home
and
you
place
them
on
a
lot,
that's
owned
by
the
homeowner,
and
that,
for
me,
is
the
biggest
thing,
because
that's
the
philosophy
of
habitat
for
humanity.
J
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
This
is
the
again
the
the
motion
and
second,
is
a
motion
to
deny
so
a
madam
clerk.
Would
you
call
the
role.
G
D
J
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
so
jeff
we
don't
have
to
do
anything
since
p
was
was
denied
we
don't
have
to
go
to.
Oh!
Is
that
correct.
K
J
Oh
jen,
okay,
madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
roll.
G
D
J
Motion
care
is
no
need
to
announce
madam
clerk,
and
we
move
on
to
our
regular
agenda,
and
that
is
9a,
and
that
is
consideration
and
action
to
approve
the
arthur
gallagher
proposal
of
insurance
in
the
amount
of
one
million
eight
hundred
eighty,
eighty
four
thousand
five
hundred
seventy
six
dollars,
and
we
have
a
a
brief
ten
minute
presentation
by
the
staff
and
mike
nugent
and
then
a
brief
council
discussion.
I'm
gonna
turn
over
to
mr
gleason
tim.
H
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
This
is
the
annual
renewal.
Every
year
we
ask
that
my
nugent
prepare
presentation
for
the
community.
I
know
that
there's
been
discussions
with
council
prior
to
this
and
asked
for
approval
once
the
presentation
is
complete.
Also,
we
have
alex
rosas
with
the
human
resources
department
alex.
Do
you
want
to
kick
this
off
before
mike
starts.
AA
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor
and
council
and
city
manager
gleason.
So,
like
you
mentioned
every
year,
we
undergo
these
city-wide
insurance,
renewals
and
we've
been
fortunate
over
the
years
to
collaborate
with
nugent,
consulting
and
mike
nugent
the
owner
and
he's
just
been
a
tremendous
asset.
AA
You
know
to
the
city:
he's
got
40
plus
years
of
experience
in
the
insurance
field
and
with
this
being
an
especially
challenging
year
due
to
covid
in
the
market,
we're
still
able
to
navigate
that
needed
coverage
with
less
impact
that
was
anticipated
initially
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mike,
and
he
can
walk
us
through
the
processes
and
the
challenges
that
we
face
this
year.
T
So
alex
said,
I
have
40
years
experience.
Obviously
I
started
when
I
was
10,
not
when
I
was
22
so
just
to
clarify
that
so
every
year
we
sit
down
roughly
in
october,
although
not
so
much
sitting
down
this
past
october,
more
zooming,
to
talk
about
renewal
plans.
This
was
following
a
really
difficult
renewal
in
2020
that
resulted
in
a
24
increase
in
the
insurance
costs
and
increased
some
deductibles
on
some
of
the
lines
of
coverage.
T
The
market
in
2020
hadn't
really
even
factored
in
covid.
Yet
as
you
as
you
remember,
the
the
shutdown
really
was
about
march
13th
or
so,
and
this
renewal
was
april
first.
So
we
excuse
me
may
1st.
So
we
had
figures
coming
in
before
insurers
really
had
a
chance
to
wrap
their
arms
around
the
impact
of
of
covet
on
so
many
lines
of
insurance,
and
that
has
been
somewhat
dramatic.
T
So
we
had
our
october
sit
down
on
zoom
again
this
past
october
and
unfortunately
I
had
to
inform
staff
that
the
market
was
actually
worse
this
october
than
it
was
the
previous
october,
partly
covid,
partly
a
lot
of
other
stuff
that
we'll
get
into
once.
We
get
into
the
meat
of
the
presentation,
and
we
continue
to
update
january
february
and
march
that
the
biggest
dynamic
in
this
market
or
the
biggest
challenge
in
this
market
is
the
fact
that
it
is
such
a
dynamic
market.
T
It's
changing
constantly
in
the
middle
of
february.
The
cyber
market
completely
collapsed
out
of
nowhere,
although
it
should
have
been
foreseen.
Insurers
were
kind
of
unprepared
for
the
extent
of
ransomware
that
has
really
ratcheted
up
during
covid.
T
So
what's
changed
the
property
market
actually,
which
was
really
bad
in
2020,
seemed
to
be
leveling
off
a
little
bit.
So
I
I
was
somewhat
optimistic
about
the
the
property
renewal
and
then
the
texas
storms
hit
and
as
anybody
who's
been
involved
in
the
insurance
for
bloomington
in
the
past,
you
realize
that
storms
throughout
the
country,
in
fact
in
fact,
impact
everyone
in
the
country,
so
you
may
have
florida
hurricanes.
You
may
have
california
fires
or
texas
storms.
T
We
all
pay
for
that,
and
so
the
market
that
seemed
to
be
settling
down
a
little
bit
went
right
back
into
a
tail
spin.
T
T
In
addition
to
the
challenges
the
market
has,
we
had
our
second
large
property
loss
in
2020
and
alex.
If,
if
anybody
wants
the
details,
alex
has
a
pretty
good
thumb
on
those,
but
we
we've
had
two
substantial
property
losses
that
have
been
paid
by
insurers.
T
T
I
can
give
credit
to
our
insurance
broker
gallagher
because
they
were
able
to
explain
the
uniqueness
of
the
two
losses
we've
had
over
the
last
three
years
and
the
fact
that
they're
they're,
you
know
unusual
enough
where
it's
not
a
trend,
it's
not
lack
of
maintenance,
it's
not
lack
of
care
by
the
city.
These
are
just
accidents
and
that's
why
you
buy
insurance,
so
we've
got
a
decent
result
on
property,
given
our
our
lost
portfolio.
So
that's.
That's
also.
T
Good
news
may
not
feel
like
it
when
you
look
at
the
pricing,
but
it
is
and
then
the
other
challenge
was
in
the
fall
of
last
year
we
were
told
that
the
the
coliseum
would
no
longer
purchase
its
own
liquor
coverage
that
we
needed
to
take
that
over
in
our
primary
casualty
insurer.
Who
doesn't
really
do
liquor
liability?
T
It's
it's
normally
a
separate
coverage
agreed
to
do
it
for
no
charge
for
to
get
us
through
renewal
and,
as
we
got
closer
to
renewal,
they
really
don't
have
any
interest
in
providing
the
coverage,
so
we
had
to
go
out
and
get
separate
coverage
for
the
liquor
coverage
not
just
for
the
coliseum,
but
for
the
golf
courses
as
well,
and
that
added
some
cost
to
the
program
that
wasn't
necessarily
part
of
this
program
a
year
before.
So
let
me
move
my
visual
here,
so
this
is
a
summary
of
the
renewal
2020
renewal.
T
What
the
total
cost
was
960
935
dollars.
The
budget
throughout
this
process
was,
for
a
30
increase
again
credit
to
gallagher
for
coming
in
with
better
terms
than
the
30
percent
that
I
projected.
But
on
the
other
hand,
if
you
look
down
at
the
bottom,
we
are
seeing
a
significant
increase
in
the
police
and
fire
workers
compensation,
self-insured
retention,
which
is
the
amount
the
city
pays
on
a
per
claim
basis
before
it
gets
to
insurance.
T
That's
actually
where
the
market
has
been.
You
have
had
outstanding
experience
on
work
comp
in
those
higher
layers.
You
might
feel
like
from
an
aggregate
standpoint.
You've
got
a
lot
of
police
claims
and
we've
and
fire
claims,
and
we
spent
a
fair
amount
on
those
claims.
But
from
a
large
claim
standpoint,
we've
had
pretty
good
experience
and
that's
what
allowed
us
to
keep
the
600
000
self-insured
retention
for
the
last
few
years,
but
now
it's
not
about
bloomington's
experience
anymore.
T
It's
about
the
market,
it's
about
the
insurers,
taking
an
opportunity
to
push
further
away
from
having
to
pay
a
claim
and
there's
just
no
other
option
out
there
versus
the
750.
So
I
am
disappointed
in
that
aspect
of
it
and
that's
partly
why
the
that
you
can
see
the
workout
premium
actually
went
down
because
we
pushed
back
and
said:
look
if
you're
gonna
raise
it
from
600
to
750.
You've
got
to
give
us
a
little
bit
relief.
T
Their
first
renewal
quote
was
in
the
350
000
range,
with
this
big
increase
in
self-insured
retention,
and
that
was
just
a
non-starter.
As
far
as
I
was
concerned,
we
have
an
option
too,
which
I'll
explain
is
reducing
this
excess
liability
limit
from
21
million.
So
you
actually
have
a
total
of
20
versus
21..
T
The
21
million
appeared
kind
of
accidentally
about
six
or
seven
years
ago
when
we
changed
insurers
and
they
had
a
little
bit
different
structure
and
instead
of
the
20
million,
we
got
this
extra
1
million
dollars
for
free,
and
then
we
just
continued
to
renew
that.
My
recommendation
is
that
our
target
had
always
been
20
million.
We
we
didn't
want
an
extra
1
million,
it's
kind
of
an
odd
number
anyway,
and
the
savings
in
this
environment
I
think,
is
worthwhile.
T
So
I'm
recommending
option
two
which
takes
the
overall
increase
down
to
13.
So
again,
just
to
recap,
the
the
liability
rate
from
our
primary
casualty
insurer
is
flat.
It's
increases
in
exposures
that
have
raised
that
premium.
T
The
property
rate's
up,
15,
which
I
expected
more
given
our
loss
portfolio
and
given
what's
going
on
in
the
market.
The
cyber
insurer
is
new
but
better
coverage.
I
mentioned
the
self-insured
retention.
I
mentioned
option
two
and
then
the
one
thing
that's
not
in
detail
here
is
that
the
city
does
have
some
very
old
underground
storage
tanks.
It's
actually
not
unusual
and
the
insurance
market
is
pulling
away
from
those
as
well
saying.
T
J
I'm
okay,
I
was
I've,
got
two
screens
and
the
the
cursor
was
on
the
other
screen
and
I
couldn't
bring
it
over
at
this
point,
a
questions
or
a
comments
or
a
motion.
C
Thanks
mayor
mike,
I
was
wondering
if
that
big,
the
big
solarwinds
hack,
that
happened
in
february,
was
that
also
something
that
contributed
to
the
the
crazy
price
increase
in
cyber,
because.
K
C
T
Yeah
huge
part
of
what's
happened
in
the
cyber
market.
Is
solar
winds
without
a
doubt.
It
just
completely
is
undermined
any
confidence
in
system
security.
T
You
know
the
insurers
right
now
and
we
got
past
this,
but
you're
in
pretty
good
shape,
but
right
now,
if
you
don't
have
multi-factor
authentication
for
remote
access
to
your
system,
you
will
not
get
cyber
coverage
in
2021,
so
it
is
absolutely
is,
has
been
a
huge
driver
and
flipped
the
the
cyber
market
on
its
on
its
head.
T
A
Sure
I
had
a
question
and
the
question
could
go
to
either
mike
or
staff,
I'm
intrigued
by
your
mention
of
underground
storage
tanks,
and
so
I'm
curious
what
what
is
needed
from
us
do
we
have
them.
How
many
do
we
have
and
what
is
needed
from
us
to
remove
that
sort
of
exposure
in
the
future.
T
You
do
have
them
and
I'll
alternate
alex,
you
do
have
them
and
like
most
municipalities,
they're
older,
I
mean
that's,
they
weren't
meant
to
be
replaced
every
five
years
or
so
so
some
of
them,
I
think,
are
in
the
30-year
range
and
just
in
the
last
two
years
the
insurance
market
has
pushed
back
on
an
older
tank.
So
if
you
want
my
advice,
my
advice
is
to
use
your
capital
budget
over
the
next
couple
years
and
try
and
replace
the
older
ones,
but
again,
given
the
environment,
I
don't.
K
J
J
Is
there
a
second
by
council
member
bolin
with
the
two
okay
further
discussion,
seeing
that,
madam
clerk,

you
call
the
role.
H

J
J

Thank
you
mayor
and
council
and
the
members
of
the
pscrb.
I
know
that
we
have
staff
representatives
with
michael
hurt
and
assistant
chief
wansley,
but
really
do
appreciate
the
efforts
of
this
team
that
serve
our
community.
H
I
haven't
seen
the
presentation
but
did
see
the
results
of
the
survey,
the
police
chief
selection
survey
recently
and
when
I
first
heard
that
there
were
over
11
000
respondents-
I
I
figured
I
just
you
know
misheard
the
number,
but
that
is
correct.
It's
quite
impressive
and
appreciate
the
comments
and
the
work
on
the
part
of
the
pscrb
for
a
decision.
H
J
I
think
it's
listed
on
heroes.
I
think
it
goes
to
rob
robert

you
you
want
to
start
sure.

AB
AB
J
Thank
you
very
much
other
comments
from
other
staff
members
for
the
staff.
AC
I'll
go
real,
quick
here
good
evening.
Everyone
like
I
said
I
just
want
to
thank
chairman
basquez
for
the
report
and
how
thankful
I
am
to
work
with
chairman
vasquez,
as
well
as
the
rest
of
the
pserb.
AC
This
board
as
a
whole
is
very
good
at
reviewing
all
the
facts
and
data
that's
available
prior
to
making
any
of
their
decisions.
Second
thing
I
just
want
to
mention
real
quick
is
all
the
reports
that
I
prepare
for.
AC
Pscrb
will
now
be
available
on
the
city
of
bloomington
website
following
the
monthly
meetings
and
lastly,
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
say
this
and
I'll
probably
embarrass
chairman
bosco's
a
little
bit,
but
your
your
leadership
and
your
decisiveness
and
your
experience
is
definitely
gonna,
be
missed
as
we
go
forward
with
this
board.
So
thank
you
for
your
service
to
this
board
and
that's
all
I
have
thank
you,
sir.
J
Thank
you.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
chairman
bosquez
for
all
of
his
hard
work,
that's
and
on
behalf
of
the
city
and
and
elected
officials,
we're
giving.
K
W
Yeah,
I
just
I
have
a
question
because
it
seems
that
a
lot
of
the
feedback
is
coming
from
the
downtown
area.
And
there
are
portions
of
ward
2
where
there
is
police
activity.
AB
So
yeah,
when
we
reach
out,
we
reach
out
to
everybody
the
whole
city
I
mean
in
all
wards:
it's
not
just
basic
downtown.
You
know.
I
know
this
past
year
has
been
difficult
with
having
virtual
meetings,
so
some
of
that
information
has
not
been
received
due
to
some
difficulties
through
virtual
meetings.
However,
for
the
future,
hopefully,
once
we
get
back
to
meeting
in
person,
we
will
definitely
again
make
sure
we
push
out
through
our
board
members
through
city
council
and
the
police
department
to
you
know,
involve
everybody
and
anybody
in
bloomington.
J
Okay,
other
comments,
questions
see
another
woman,
thank
you
again
and
to
thank
to
staff
and
the
police
appreciate
all
that.
You've
done
and
thank
you
best
best
wishes
to
you.
Robert
appreciate
everything
you
do
next,
we
move
to
if
I
can
grab
my
glasses
item
9c,
and
this
is
consideration
action
on
the
resolution
declaring
continued
utility,
just
disconnection
illinois
to
be
a
pandemic
safety.
There
is
a
proposal
presentation
we.
This
was
pursuant
to
the
council
initiative
by
councilmember
crabill.
J
We
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
councilman
crabill.
You
have
up
to
five
minutes
and
then
council
discussion
is
approximately
five
minutes
and
at
that
time
we
will
will
want
a
motion.
Councilmember
crevo.
D
Thank
you
mayor
and
I'll
be
brief,
because
we
just
discussed
this
last
week
and
last
week
there
was
unanimous
support
to
move
forward
with
this
resolution
and
put
it
on
this
week's
agenda,
which
I
I
very
much
appreciate,
and
basically
the
resolution
is
saying
that
there's
still
a
pandemic
risk,
especially
if
people's
power
or
other
utilities
are
turned
off,
so
that
so
asking
the
governor
to
use
his
power
in
issuing
a
moratorium,
as
well
as
asking
for
our
state
body
legislator,
legislature
to
pass
house
bill.
D
D
You
know
two
utilities,
two
landlords,
you
know
cutting
out
a
step
in
the
process
which
may
lessen
the
need
for
shut-off
shut-offs.
You
know
like
like
city
manager,
gleason
and
mayor
renner,
said
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
You
know
we
had
162
new
cases
over
the
weekend,
so
we're
still
in
this
pandemic
and
and
people
still
still
need
help
and
so
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
move
to
approve
the
resolution
as
presented.
J
Such
a
second
second
by
councilman
carrillo
at
this
point
comments.
J
Okay,
seeing
none
madam
clerk,
would
you
call
it?
Oh
I'm
sorry,
council,
member
bolin,
sorry,
sorry.
W
No,
that's,
okay,
the
only
thing
I
want
to
add
I
don't
I
got
an
email,
I
have
nikor
gas
and
I
got
an
email
that
they
have
set
up
a
a
program
for
it's
not
necessarily
wiping
out
or
whatever,
but
it
is
a
program
if
you
wish
to
apply
to
set
up
a
payment
schedule,
and
I
think
that
I
just
want
to
put
it
out
there
that
there
are
a
lot
of
available
resources
that
people
could
draw
on.
But
I
appreciate
what
you're
doing
john.
D
Cool
thanks
don
for
mentioning
that.
G
B
J
J
H
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
No
modifications
recommended
at
this
time.
C
Thanks
mayor
tim,
I
was
wondering
of
our
next
meeting.
Could
we
get
an
update
in
terms
of
where
we're
at
with
the
both
the
residential
and
the
business
relief
programs
we
put
in
place?
C
And
you
know
I
also
I've,
heard
a
few
comments
from
both
residential
and
business
that
people
felt
like
that
they
were
rejected
when
they
shouldn't
have
been
because
they
met
the
qualifications.
So
I
was
wondering
if
we
could
get
a
breakdown
of
why
people
are
being
rejected
in
either
program
and
if
there's
things
that
we
could
do
to
modify
those
to
make
it
access
to
those
funds
easier.
H
We'll
do
it
we'll
have
it
for
the
council
meeting
may
10.
C
J
H
Thank
you
mayor.
We
continue
to
trend
very
well
as
a
community.
We
are
stronger
than
most,
which
is
not
suggesting
that
there
is
not
a
financial
impact,
a
negative
financial
impact
because
of
covens,
but
we're
we're
doing
very
well
compared
to
many
other
illinois,
municipalities,
scott,
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
you.
Thank
you.
AD
Thank
you,
city
manager,
gleason,
very
correct.
In
that
we
are
doing
well
tonight.
You
know
we're
going
to
run
through
the
numbers
relatively
quickly,
we'll
spend
a
little
bit
more
time.
Next
month.
We
are
11
months
into
the
fiscal
year.
However,
due
to
some
of
our
major
revenue
categories
and
the
sales,
the
sales
taxes
specifically
on
a
two-month
lag
are
really
just
nine
months
in
on
on
some
of
those
major
revenues.
So
we
still
have
a
ways
to
go
to
get
complete
visibility
on
how
we're
going
to
end
of
the
year.
AD
But
it's
looking
very
favorable
right
now.
Tax
revenues
are
either
doing
well
like
income
tax
and
replacement
tax
and
use
tax
or
they're
rebounding
nicely
from
cove.
At
this
point,
and
you
combine
that
with
the
the
cure
grant
the
3.2
million
dollars
that
we
got
from
from
the
local
cure
grant
and
the
lowering
of
expenses
throughout
the
year,
you
know
we're
looking
very
positive
for
year-end
and
being
able
to
allocate
some
of
those
those
funds
to
our
capital
equipment
cash
for
purchases
instead
of
the
lease.
AD
So,
staying
on
that
strategic
trajectory
for
that
enterprise
funds
are
very
fairly
fairly
well,
you
know:
there's
been
some
comments
related
to
solid
waste
and
and
I'll
just
point
out.
You
know
how
we
went
into
21
related
to
solid
waste.
Just
phil.
Can
you
bring
up
the
presentation?
Please.
AD
So
so,
just
briefly
briefly,
excuse
me
you're
going
to
see
you
know.
We
always
include
the
number
of
months
collected
out
to
the
right.
If
you
see
11
we're
11
months
in
really
those
categories
that
are
showing
11
right
now
are
finalized.
For
the
year
a
property
tax,
a
replacement
replacement
tax
is
kind
of
an
oddball.
We
only
get
like,
I
think
it's
eight
payments
during
the
year
and
so
that's
finalized
as
well,
but
you
can
see
for
home
rule
and
state
sales
tax.
AD
Through
march,
we've
only
received
nine
nine
months
so
far
to
highlight
home
rule.
It
has
been
trending
up
at
the
start
of
the
pandemic.
Our
worst
month
we
were
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
under
budget
in
one
month
and
our
latest
month
we
were
just
seventy
thousand
dollars
under
budget,
so
we're
trending
up
in
that
category,
very
optimistic
about
that
state
sales
tax.
If
you
look
out
to
the
far
right,
you
can
see
what
our
last
month
variance
was
was
actually
positive
1.11.
AD
AD
So
so,
there's
I
mean
part
of
the
I'd
say
about
a
half
million
to
six
hundred
thousand
of
the
income
tax
overage
so
far
year
to
date
is
related
to
the
push
out
last
year
of
the
due
date
for
for
income
taxes,
but
you
can
still,
even
if
you
take
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
off,
that
million
we'd
be
turning
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
ahead
and
then
we
finished
year,
165
166
thousand
dollars
ahead
and
replacement
tax.
AD
The
second
line
from
the
bottom,
so
many
businesses
out
there
are
still
doing
fairly
well
in
a
lot
of
pandemic
delivery
businesses.
You
know
big
box
stores,
things
of
that
nature.
Local
motor
fuel
tax.
I've
commented
several
times
that
this
could
have
a
lingering
concern
for
what
for
us
with
the
remote
workforce.
AD
However,
this
is
this
is
starting
to
trend
up
a
little
bit
as
well
far
right
calm.
You
can
see
the
last
month
nearly
13
under
budget
we've
been
trending
more
like
16
17
18
under
we
were
16.
The
prior
month,
so
a
positive
increase
there
and
then
local
use
tax,
a
million
dollars
over
year-to-date.
This
is
primarily
our
internet
sales.
Tax
allocation,
we're
starting
to
see
part
of
that
local
component
up
in
the
home
rule,
but
this
million
dollars
that's
primarily
related
to
december
sales.
AD
I
guess
I
I'll
I'll
back
up
on
that
local
use
component
or
local
component
for
a
second
that
hasn't
gone
to
effect
as
a
march
yet
or
march
numbers.
It
went
into
effect
in
january,
we're
not
seeing
it
yet
so
that
local
use
that
a
million
dollars
over
we
had
a
200
000
overage
in
the
in
the
prior
month
and
that's
primarily
related
to
december
and
the
holiday
sales
that
was
84
over
budget
for
that
month.
So
you
know,
people
are
using
the
internet,
they're
still
spending
money
very
the
community.
AD
AD
The
the
left-hand
portion
is
the
budget
and
how
we're
proceeding
through
the
year,
and
then
we
have
our
adjustment
to
budget
related
to
our
projection,
we're
starting
to
dial
this
in
a
little
bit
as
we
go
through
the
year,
I'm
just
going
to
talk
at
high
levels
again,
we're
really
looking
at
that
projected
column.
Projected
budget
adjustments
really
breaking,
even
as
as
we
see
some
of
these
revenue
categories
increase
we're
allocating
the
savings,
if
you
will
into
the
capital
expenditures
line
where
we're.
AD
AD
The
enterprise
funds
of
note
you're
going
to
look
at
the
revenue
trend
charges
for
services
line
near
the
bottom.
Now
you
can
see
that
our
target
11
months
through
the
year
should
be
92.
We
had
been
trending
over
now
we're
a
little
under,
and
this
is
just
related
to
an
accounting
timing
issue
that
we're
looking
at
related
to
going
live
with
our
utility
billing
conversion,
our
utility
billing
system
and
munis,
going
more
to
an
accrual
basis.
We've
reversed
our
accrual
as
of
the
end
of
the
year
last
year.
AD
So
this
this
is
going
to
true
true
up
at
the
end
of
the
year,
but
you're
just
seeing
a
little
bit
of
a
dip
there
below
the
trend,
but
no
concern.
That's
going
to
true
up
once
we
finalize
a
year
as
part
of
the
audit.
AD
I've
been
kind
of
commenting
lately
on
how
well
golf
is
doing
compared
to
prior
years.
You
can
see
you
know
it's
83
of
budget,
whereas
in
20
you
know
the
pandemic
was
hitting,
we
were
shut
down.
I
mean
we're
only
67
percent
there
and
it's
and
it's
actually
doing
a
little
bit
better
than
we
had
been
doing
in
2019
as
well.
AD
So
that's
very
positive
and
then
the
way
this
is
a
very
high
level
summary
exhibit,
but
we
have
a
budgeted
use
a
fund
balance
line,
it's
right
in
the
middle
of
the
page,
primarily
for
most
of
the
enterprise
funds.
That's
going
to
be
use
of
fund
balance
that
was
budgeted
related
to
capital
projects,
but
for
solid
waste.
It
does
not
have
capital
projects
so
that
207
thousand
dollars
was
basically
a
budgeted
use
of
unbalance
for
the
deficit,
which
you
know,
kevin
cosey.
AD
The
public
works
director
has
been
speaking
to
every
the
community
and
council
about
lately.
A
much
larger
number
than
this,
but
as
he's
commented
on,
what's
not
included
in
the
current
year
and
21
is
is
really
the
the
capital
equipment
needs
of
solid
waste
is
very
capital
equipment
intensive
and
those
have
been
delayed.
AD
AD
Culture
that
we
have
within
the
city
is
also
impacting
things
in
a
positive
way
for
us
as
well
other
news.
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
real,
real,
quick
comment
on
the
utility
billing
conversion.
I
understand,
and
I
know
this
was
a
little
difficult
for
some
of
our
residents.
I
kept
mentioning
during
many
of
the
presentations
that
it
would
be
worth
it
on
the
other
side
and
we're
starting
to
see,
see
the
corner
being
turned
just
some
statistics.
AD
Prior
to
the
conversion
and
the
use
of
our
new
payment
portal,
we
had
about
4
400
accounts
signed
up
on
paperless.
We
already
have
4
700
accounts
signed
up
on
paperless,
I'm
just
you
know
a
month
into
utilizing
the
new
system
we
have
almost
8
000
accounts
registered
online.
Already
prior
we
were
at
14.5,
so
we're
already
more
than
halfway
there,
getting
a
account
set
up
online
for
the
residents,
but
they're
doing
it
themselves,
and
then
we've
had
852
accounts
sign
up
for
pay
by
text.
AD
You
know
and
that's
that's
taking
advantage
of
some
of
the
new
efficiencies
in
our
system,
so
it
was
really
good
to
kind
of
see
those
statistics
and
the
utilization
of
that
new
system.
So
I
think
once
the
dust
settles,
you
know
everyone's
going
to
kind
of
realize
it's
a
positive
move
for
the
city.
Hopefully,
in
the
long
term,
it's
going
to
be
a
cost
savings
and
more
efficient
way
of
doing
business
with
the
city.
AD
J
J
Take
care
mr
gleason
city
managers,
report.
H
Thank
you
mayor
before
we
pull
up
the
slides.
I
guess
I'd
like
to
say
on
behalf
of
myself
staff,
very
much
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
have
been
able
to
work
with
you,
mayor
and
older
woman,
johnny
painter
and
to
my
right,
older
woman,
kim
bray,
very
much
appreciate
all
three
of
your
leadership
and
it's
been
a
quick
nearly
three
years
for
me
and
I
no
longer
for
many.
But
thank
you
very
much,
and
I
wish
you
the
best
and
next
item
I
wanted
to
share.
H
Is
that
as
we
look
for
the
direction
and
guidance
on
how
we
can
use
the
covid
relief
money
city
of
bloomington's
set
to
receive
about
14
million
dollars,
I
think
the
number
is
13.8
million.
But
we
do
look
to
both
of
our
state,
I'm
sorry,
senators,
duckworth
and
durbin
their
staff
and
then
our
local
congressman,
lahood
and
davis
for
direction.
H
But
I've
got
targeted
one
way
or
another
having
a
work
session.
A
discussion
at
our
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
on
may
17th
and
we'll
provide
any
updates
that
we
can
hopefully
have
a
clearer
picture
on
how
we
can
use
the
the
funds
that
will
be
coming
our
way,
phil.
If
you
would
put
up
the
first
slide
hires
in
april,
we
have
troy,
justin
and
frederick.
I
like,
showing
these
off
and
welcome
these
guys
aboard
to
the
city
organization.
H
Farmer's
market
this
saturday,
it's
open
downtown
again.
Ask
that
everybody
be
very
cautious
again
follow
the
guidelines,
the
cdc
guidelines,
but
we're
open
for
business
downtown,
and
I
think
the
weather
forecast
still
looks
pretty
good
hope
to
see
people
down
there.
Next
slide.
H
It
should
be
may
1st
friday,
it's
may
7th,
and
this
is
unleash
unlock
a
piece
of
history.
It's
5
p.m,
to
8
p.m,
the
first
friday!
So
that's
not
this
coming,
but
next
next
slide.
H
Free
vista,
we
have
all
three
courses
are
open
for
the
season
and
they
have
been
busy
as
I've,
driven
by
all
three
of
them
different
times
of
the
week.
They
are
well
attended
and
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
people
excited
about
being
able
to
get
out,
and
just
you
know,
enjoy
the
open
air
and
the
quality
golf
courses
that
we
have
at
city
of
bloomington.
H
That
might
be
it
is
there
more
phil,
and
that
is
it.
Thank
you
again,
mayor
and
alderman
bray
and
all
the
older
woman,
bray
and
older
woman
painter.
Thank
you
again.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
tim
and
it
was
been.
It's
been
a
great
a
pleasure
not
only
working
with
you
tim,
but
our
my
council,
colleagues
and
staff
again
very
much
appreciated.
I
did
have
some
remarks
I
didn't
want
to
they're,
not
not
extensive.
J
I
did
want
to
didn't
want
to
make
them
at
the
receipt
of
the
the
the
recognition
plaque,
but
we
certainly
had
lots
of
challenges.
Over
the
last
eight
years,
we've
made
lots
of
progress.
One
of
the
things
when
I
ran
I
talked
about
was
open
government
opening
the
doors
to
city
hall.
J
The
metaphor
I
used
was,
I
was
hoping
that
we
could
have
a
city
hall
surrounded
by
windows
windows,
so
that
anyone
one
from
any
part
of
town
could
come
up,
look
and
see
what
they're
paying
for
and
we've
had
large
amount
of
success
with
that,
and
that
is
you
don't
have
to
be
in
a
position
where
you
have
to
fight
city
hall.
Sometimes
people
have
suggested
we
went
from
having
an
f
from
the
illinois
policy
institute
for
openness
and
transparency
to
an
a
plus
100
percent.
J
We've
had
mayoral
open
houses,
bloomington
101
and
our
board
and
commission
members
at
are
now
a
group
of
people,
the
couple
hundred
or
so
that
look
like
bloomington
there's
people
who
are
people
from
the
east
side,
west
side,
people
of
color
people
who
are
caucasian
young
people,
people
who
are
my
age
and
older,
and
it's
not
because
there's
an
affirmative
action
program.
It's
because
if
we
have
more
diverse
inputs,
we're
going
to
make
better
decisions
in
the
future
for
this
community,
and
these
are
people
who
can
be
especially
with
our
younger
people.
J
The
board
and
commission
members
can
be
the
future
city,
council,
members
and
mayors
or
community
leaders
of
tomorrow,
and
that's
really
important.
We
we
need
to
continue
to
reflect
the
increasing
diversity
of
our
ever-changing
city.
We've
certainly
had
lots
of
changes
in
working
with
our
intergovernmental
partners
and
a
economic
development
council
and
our
businesses
with
economic
development
and
smart
growth
policies,
and
one
of
these.
J
So
one
of
the
most
important
things
has
been
helping
us
to
take
full
advantage
of
the
route
66
being
on
route.
66.,
pontiac
and
many
other
cities
that
are
much
smaller
than
us
had
been
taking
advantages
for
a
very
long
time
and
the
town
of
normal,
and
we
have
certainly
have
made
some
progress
there.
J
One
of
the
earliest
things
we
got
was
the
the
route
66
visitors
center
and
a
grant
from
the
state
and
put
other
money
together
from
the
cbb
to
make
that
happen,
and
we're
literally
on
the
map
now
and
an
area
that
people
don't
drive
around
when
they
go
from
pontiac
to
atlanta
illinois.
That's
really
a
critical,
critical
part
of
making
sure
that
our
cultural,
historic
core
our
downtown
thrives
as
well
as
obviously
general
job
creation
and
economic
activity
for
our
community.
J
We
have
a
viable
downtown
strategic
plan
and
signage
and
lots
of
other
strategic
improvements
and,
of
course,
lately
we've
seen
as
a
byproduct
of
perhaps
of
covid
a
a
renewed
energy
in
outdoor
dining
and
renewed
vibrancy
in
our
downtown,
and
it
is
of
one
of
curse,
our
greatest
assets,
we're.
We
know
that
we're
going
to
have
in
the
southeast
part
of
downtown
a
library
expansion.
J
We
provided
money,
along
with
the
town
of
normal,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
sunday
service
and
a
really
important
mobile
workforce
for
the
future,
so
people
can
get
from
point
a
to
point
b
in
our
community,
we've
got
an
award
winning
the
best
connect
best
transit
system
in
a
small
metropolitan
area
in
all
of
north
america
just
a
few
years
ago,
and
with
some
specific
projects.
Of
course,
we've
had
lots
of
success
with
the
early
on
hyvee.
J
You
know,
with
a
nearly
abandoned,
landmark
shopping
center,
which
has
become
a
magnet
for
other
kinds
of
of
jobs
and
activity.
They
had
empire
crossing
with
tim
tiff
money
and
in
the
old,
the
also
nearly
abandoned
colonial
plaza.
The
old
bloomington
junior
high
school
with
senior
apartments
was
certainly
a
victory,
not
just
for
economic
development
but,
of
course,
also
for
historic
preservation.
J
Some
of
the
other
things,
of
course,
is
the
downtown
mental
health
facility
in
the
jail
that
this
council
and
the
town
of
normal
stepped
up
to
the
plate
and
funded
these.
This
facility,
that's
administered
by
the
county,
we've
had
green
top
grocery
the
first
multi-million
dollar
investment
in
bloomington,
a
constitution
trail
and
along
with
the
attempt
to
try
to
revitalize
our
older
neighborhoods
and
and
downtown
other
places.
J
We
had
an
improvement
in
our
rental
inspection
program
by
two
previous
older
women
who
take
the
took
the
lead
on
that
and,
of
course,
the
establishment
of
administrative
court
back
in
2015
it
with
the
word
on
the
street.
Was
you
can
get
away
with
anything
in
bloomington?
You
can't
get
away
with
much
in
normal.
That's
not
the
case
anymore,
and
in
fact,
when
I
had
come
in
one
things,
I
asked
legal
at
that
time
how
many
cases
had
we
filed
in
circuit
court
in
the
previous
decade.
J
That's
also
one
of
the
things
that's
helped
us
across
the
board
was
the
great
wisdom
in
hiring
tim
gleeson.
As
our
city
manager,
who
gets
stuff
done
notice.
I
said
stuff,
I'm
trying
to
clean
up
my
act
at
least
a
little
bit
and
some
other
really
important
projects.
One
of
the
most
important
neighborhood
projects
we've
had
in
decades
is
the
new
o'neill
pool
aquatic
center.
J
We've
had
improvements,
of
course,
in
east
side
parks,
including
harmony
park,
which
now
provides
access
for
all
of
our
types
of
residents,
regardless
of
whether
they
are
able-bodied
or
not
to
provide
some
recreational
facilities,
and
we
have
also
worked
for
improving
a
9-1-1
service
in
some
of
our
east
side
wards
that
had
really
unacceptable
high
response
rates
for
fire
and
police
service
and
protection
in
law
enforcement.
We've
certainly
stepped
up
to
the
plate.
Early
on.
J
We've
also
had
some
improvement
in
very
aggressive
liquor
enforcement,
not
just
in
downtown
to
promote
public
safety
but
throughout
throughout
the
city,
and
these
are
things
that
we
we
can
certainly
be
proud
of
along
the
way
we've
been
fiscally
responsible,
and
that
is
not
just
with
our
aforementioned
pension
funding.
But
we've
had
stable
finances
for
many
years.
J
We're
delivering
more
public
services
to
more
people
with
several
hundred
fewer
employees
than
we
did
eight
to
ten
years
ago,
and
that's
in
no
small
part
because
of
great
leadership
by
this
council
by
elected
officials
as
well
as
obviously
our
staff
and
our
our
current
city
manager
and
other
previous
occupants
of
city
manager
and
deputy
city
managers
were
certainly
more
efficient
and
effective.
J
We
managed
to
even
plug
the
hole
in
trash
after
talking
trash
for
many
years,
we
managed
to
balance
the
enterprise
fund
and
move
forward,
and
we've
dealt
with
some
obviously
very
controversial.
Things
like
cannabis,
and
we've
reached
a
compromise
on
a
welcoming
city's
community
recommendation
and
ordinance
the
again,
mr
gleason.
J
It's
been
an
honor
not
only
to
work
with
you,
but
we
certainly
appreciate
many
of
your
contributions,
but
we
do
have
lots
of
challenges,
obviously
for
the
future,
and
those
include
a
constant
effort
on
our
cultural,
historic,
core
downtown
in
revitalization
and
improvements
in
renovation.
J
Another
very
underperforming
area
on
the
east
is
eastland
mall,
which
has
just
been
very,
very
difficult.
The
biggest
worry
eight
years
ago
was
not
eastland
mall.
The
biggest
worry
was
across
the
street,
with
colonial
plaza.
Well,
now,
we've
got
empire
crossing
and
we've
got
a
more
serious
issue
with
respect
to
attempting
to
to
revitalize
and
remake
eastland
mall
and
we've.
At
some
point.
J
One
of
the
things
that
I
hope
that
we
also
do
is
to
pursue
some
open
good
government
kind
of
open
government
initiatives.
Former
governor,
pat
quinn,
is
actually
proposing
and
working
with
cities
to
adopt
the
kind
of
ordinance
that
arlington
heights
has
in
illinois
and
that's
proposing
initiative
and
referendum.
J
J
But
in
in
closing,
just
as
we
face
these
challenges,
I
would
urge
all
of
our
elected
leaders
to
reimagine
our
city,
services
and
policies
for
an
increasingly
diverse
and
dynamic
community,
because
that's
that's
going
to
continue
and
what
will
count
for
the
future
is
not
how
many
extra
zeros
that
we
may
have
in
our
bank
account,
but
rather
what
we've
done
to
make
a
difference
of
lives
of
other
people,
and
especially
our
children,
and
again
this
has
been
an
honor
of
a
lifetime.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
Are
there
council
comments?
J
I'm
gonna
start
with
ward
one.
Oh
thank
you.
Thanks
also,
remember
matthew.
Anything
I'll
go
around.
I'd
go
around
the
diocese,
okay,
councilmember
bolin
word
two
anything.
W
Oh
well
yeah,
I
would
first
of
all
I
would
like
to
say
van
runner.
I've
had
a
much
more
pleasant
experience
working
with
you
in
the
past
two
years
than
the
contentious
experience.
I
had
on
the
other
side
of
that
on
the
other
side
of
the
podium,
and
I
and
I
appreciate
that-
and
I
think
that
has
to
do
with
getting
to
know
you
better.
So
I
appreciate
that
too,
and
to
alderman,
bray
and
alderman
painter,
I'm
going
to
miss
you
on
the
council.
W
I
appreciate
all
your
honesty
and
mentorship
and
I
just
want
to
share
alderman
alderman
painter
has
such
a
direct
and
honest
approach
that
when
the
the
citizens
were
attacking
or
harassing
alderman
carrillo,
she
had
the
nerve
to
call
them
up
and
tell
them
to
knock
it
off
so
kudos
to
aldermen
painter,
and
I
appreciate
the
public
service
beyond
the
council
that
both
of
you
add
to
the
community.
A
Okay,
let
me
I
mute
myself
here,
so
I
I
have
a
a
couple
of
things
to
say,
so
I
hope
you'll
you'll
indulge
me,
so
I'm
gonna
start
with
what
might
seem
well,
not
as
fun
but
important
and
then
I'll
finish
with
the
more
fun
stuff.
To
finish
on
a
positive
note,
so
I
wanted
to
take
just
a
moment
to
address
public
comment
that
was
directed
at
the
council
member
carrillo
last
week.
A
A
A
So,
as
a
result,
I've
asked
staff
to
come
up
with
a
statement
that
will
be
read
at
the
beginning
of
public
comment
in
order
to
help
frame
what
we
expect
from
each
public
commenter,
if
that's
a
word,
while
still
remaining
true
to
the
value
of
freedom
of
speech
that
we
all
hold
dear
so
dear
in
our
country,
and
I
was
all
I
would
also
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
say
a
word
about
our
discourse
on
social
media.
A
I
think
it
is
clear
to
me
that
social
media
has
had
an
incredibly
negative
impact
in
how
we
interact
with
one
another
and
not
just
in
our
community,
and
therefore
I
want
to
add
a
word
of
caution
about
it
and
encourage
us
to
be
kind
to
one
another
and
not
just
on
social
media.
But
you
know
anytime.
We
interact
with
one
another
and
I
think
we'll
be
better
for
it.
A
As
a
community
so
now
to
the
more
fun
part,
I
also
wanted
to
say
you
know
thank
you
to
council,
member
painter
and
council
member
bray
for
their
service
on
the
council.
I
I
do
remember
a
council
member
painter,
you
know
having
seven
years
of
service
and
being
the
one
member
on
the
council,
who's
had
to
run
twice
in
two
years,
which
was
not
fun,
but
she
she
did
so
admirably,
and
you
know
we.
A
I
think,
we're
glad
that
you
you
you
did
it
because
you,
you
helped
us
on
the
council
achieved
quite
a
bit
and
then
some
of
the
achievements
that
we
we
have
been
able
to
to
to
witness
are
things
that
you
should
also
be
proud
of,
because
it's
not
just
you
know
one
council,
member
or
it's
not
just
the
mayor,
it's
all
of
us
together
as
a
group
so
and
and
just
like
council
member
bolin,
said
you're
you're
very
direct
and
you've
told
me
sometimes
when
you
disagree
with
me
and
that's
something
that
I
I
definitely
appreciate
about
you
and
and
also
council
member
bray.
A
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
four
years
of
service
and-
and
you
know
like
mayor
renner
said
you
know
you,
you
brought
a
a
you
know
a
legal
perspective
and,
and
you
know
to
to
your
work
here
and-
and
I
know
many
of
us
have
learned
a
lot
from
that
and
that's
the
beauty
of
having
a
council
with
so
many
different
perspectives
is
that
we
we
can
learn
from
from
each
other,
and
you
know,
even
though
you
only
serve
one
term,
I
I
think
the
it
was
evident
from
the
beginning.
A
You
know
that
you
you
were,
you
brought
a
lot
of
passion
and
I
remember
at
your
first
one
of
the
events.
You
know
you
had
balloons
and
t-shirts
and
things
like
that
and
that
you
know
it
was
the
the
first
time
that
I
had
seen
that
you
know
from
a
a
candidate,
but
I
I
think
it
was
the
same
passion
that
you
brought
to
to
the
council
and
I
and
I
definitely
appreciate
it
so
to
both
of
you
again.
A
J
Thank
you,
council,
member
julie,
any
anything.
F
J
Council
member
peter.
Z
Yeah
thanks,
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone.
Who's
stepped
up
to
serve
the
city
of
bloomington,
and
thank
you
to
all
who
ran
and
to
all
who
were
elected,
running
for
office
has
become
a
grueling
affair
and
thanks
to
you
all
for
putting
yourselves
out
there.
I
also
want
to
thank
my
constituents
who
elected
me
twice,
as
well
as
the
whole
community
for
informing
me
and
encouraging
me
in
so
many
ways.
It's
truly
been
a
pleasure
and
an
honor
to
serve
you.
I've
met
so
many
good
people
from
all
walks
of
life.
Z
I
want
to
give
a
special
shout
out
to
nick
becker
who
will
be
taking
my
place.
I
know
he
has
a
heart
to
serve
he's
younger
than
me
and
full
of
energy
to
learn
and
do
good
work
for
all
of
his
constituents
in
the
city
of
bloomington.
Thank
you.
Nick
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart,
bloomington
has
a
city
manager
and
staff
who
are
second
to
none.
I
have
found
them
wonderful
to
work
with.
They
have
educated
me
in
so
many
ways
on
ride-alongs
with
the
police.
Z
You
get
a
chance
to
have
a
different
perspective
of
the
challenges
of
their
job.
On
visits
to
the
water
reclamation
district.
You
learn
that
all
the
stuff
that
you
have
to
deal
with
on
a
daily
basis
pales
in
comparison
to
the
stuff
they
process
every
day
and
the
water
treatment
plant
makes
clear
how
lucky
we
are
to
live
in
a
city
that
values,
water,
water,
quality,
arbit
arbor
day
tree
plantings
are
a
small
reminder
that
we
can
each
do
something
about
global
warming.
Z
Z
Thanks
for
affording
me
those
opportunities
and
being
an
alderman
has
also
afforded
me
the
opportunity
to
resolve
constituent
problems,
to
work,
to
get
more
funds
for
street
and
road
repairs,
water
and
sewer
repair
and
waste
management
to
work
to
bring
new
businesses
like
dick's
sporting
goods
and
hyvee
to
bloomington,
while
realizing
and
trying
to
help
with
the
challenges.
The
pandemic
has
brought
to
existing
businesses
to
work
for
mental
health
through
the
efforts
such
as
serving
on
the
bhcc
and
to
work
to
ensure
public
safety
for
all
constituents.
Z
I
know
you
are
going
to
do
a
great
job
as
mayor.
Your
intelligence
and
temperament
will
be
a
wonderful
asset.
Thank
you
for
your
patience
and
tutelage
during
the
past
seven
years.
I'm
excited
and
grateful
that
you
decided
to
do
this.
I
know
that
bloomington
will
be
in
good
hands.
I'm
convinced
that
all
of
the
newly
elected
will
do
their
very
best
to
serve
all
their
constituents
and
move
the
city
forward
in
the
best
ways
possible.
X
Yeah,
I
guess
just
thanks
everybody
for
your
service,
appreciate
it
gonna
miss
you
all,
and
I
guess
you
know
I
wasn't
going
to
say
anything
but
council,
member
maloney.
I
appreciate
the
the
sentiment
behind
your
comments
today
and
I
mean
I
guess
the
only
thing
is
you
know
that
that
rhetoric
isn't
new.
X
I
I
wish
that
we
had
spoken
up
about
it
sooner
and
I
hope
that
you
know
if
that's
the
standard
that
we're
holding
ourselves
to
then
that
that
standard
is
is
applied
equally
to
everyone
so
but
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
for
your
comments
and
thank
y'all
for
your
service.
V
Yeah,
I
would
echo
thanks
for
service,
and
I
wish
that
I
had
had
an
opportunity
to
to
serve
with
you
longer,
but
look
forward
to
to
continuing
to
benefit
from
your
service
and
your
wisdom
in
years
to
come.
Blessings.

continuously
overwhelmed
by
the
graciousness,
the
professionalism,
the
hard
work

I
see
in
our
city.
Y
On
behalf
of
of
so
many,
the
work,
that's
done
by
so
few
when
you
think
about
our
staff,
you
think
about
our
public
servants,
our
uniformed
officers
and
the
sacrifices
that
people
make
in
this
city
every
day
to
make
it
better
for
everyone,
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
city
manager,
tim
gleason,
sir.
It's
just
been
this
absolute
privilege
to
watch
you
and
see
it
done
by
a
true
professional,
and
I
I
I
mean
that
and
not
not
denigrating.
Y
Anyone
else
who
has
served
or
who
I
worked
with,
but
this
city
is,
is
so
well
served
by
you,
and

the
rest
of
the
staff.
Y
My
council,
my
fellow
council

I
hope

had
an
opportunity

have
a

most
of
you
and
I
thank
you

that.
I've
grown.
I

Thank

Thank

last
thing

165
years
old

oldest
part,
