Thank

and
thank
you.
It's
just
really
really
an
honor
and
thanks
again
at
this
point,
we
want
to
recognize
the
appointment
of
our
seasoned
Merle
Brown,
who
has
agreed

on
the
cultural
district,
is
Meryl
here
Meryl

just
want
to
direct
it.
You
don't
have
to
say
anything.
You
used
to
stand
up
and
recognize
you
and
we
class.
B
B
B
D
B
Motion
carries
unanimously,
and
now
we
move
on
to
the
regular
agenda
under
item
eight,
a
consideration
of
an
ordinance
amending
chapter,
six
of
the
Bloomington
city
code
to
create
a
new
liquor
license
classification
that
is
allowing
the
retail
of
packaged
beer
and
wine
for
consumption
on
or
off
the
premises
were
sold
and
amending
chapter
six,
and
this
is
a
continuation
of
something
that
we
have
dealt
with
at
a
previous
meeting.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Jergens
and
then
we
can
go
forward.
Yeah.
F
That's
right:
Thank,
You,
mayor
and
council
and
after
the
discussion
at
the
last
City
Council
meeting
about
this
potential
code,
amendment
to
the
liquor
code,
listening
to
feedback
from
the
council,
we
went
back.
We
added
some
more
provisions
to
restrict
this
license
a
little
more.
Those
two
provisions
include
that
the
license
will
only
be
available
where
packaged
or
prepared
food
is
the
primary
source
of
revenue
and
the
license
is
not
available
for
any
establishment
at
which
Motor
Vehicles
fuels
are
sold,
so
those
two
restrictions.
F
B
Just
to
again
just
to
clarify
this
is
really
more
of
from
the
standpoint
of
Liquor
Commission,
a
model
of
a
garlic
press,
type
of
liquor
change.
If
the
garlic
press
were
to
move
to
Bloomington,
not
saying
they
are,
we
would
have
had
no
license
for
them
and
we
obviously
had
retail
grocery
making
this
request.
But
this
is
not
a
green
top
grocery
category,
it's
just
a
category
that
would
fit
this
type
of
business
model.
That
could
be.
You
know,
sir
future
businesses
downtown
or
in
other
areas
of
our
community.
All
the
woman
in
Smith
I.
B
B
I'm
terribly
sorry,
I
didn't
announce
that
yeah.
We
we
have
audio,
we
don't
have
electronic
voting.
We
are
hoping
to
probably
have
it
by
the
next
meeting.
Okay,
I
apologize,
I
did
not
clarify
it.
That's
my
fault,
not
all
the
woman
law.
It's
cherry,
oh
Clark,
Clark
Lawson!
Would
you
please
call
the
roll.
D
B
We
move
on
to
item
8b
consideration
of
an
ordinance
amending
chapter
2,
section
15
of
the
the
Bloomington
City
Code,
changing
the
starting
time
of
regular
City
Council
meetings
from
7
to
6
p.m.
changing
starting
time
of
the
committee.
Your
whole
meetings
from
5:30
p.m.
to
6
p.m.
and
improving
a
change
in
the
annual
schedule
of
meetings,
as
requested
by
city
administration.
We
have
a
very
brief
presentation
by
a
mr.
Gleason
and
then
a
brief
council
discussion.
Mr.
police
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
You
mayor,
a
very
brief
discussion,
felt
that
this
was
an
opportunity
for
us
to
be
more
effective
and
efficient.
It
was
not
uncommon
to
have
special
meetings
in
front
of
council
meetings
and
the
Sorella,
not
special
meetings
and
council
had
a
very
strong
desire
that
if
we
did
in
fact
move
this
up,
it
was
not
so
early
as
to
not
allow
residents
to
come
home
from
work,
have
supper
visit
with
the
family
and
then
still
be
able
to
make
the
council
meeting.
H
So
we
are
proposing
that
the
council
meetings
move
from
seven
to
six
and
just
for
consistency
to
move
the
Committee
of
the
Whole
meeting
from
5:30
to
6:00,
and
the
special
meetings
will
be
treated
as
such.
There
will
be
special
meetings
when
the
need
arises.
Township
took
action
that
their
meeting
once
a
month
will
start
at
5:45
and
potentially
a
push
into
the
regular
start
time
of
our
council
meeting
if
necessary.
Thank.
B
D
B
We
move
now
to
last
item
under
our
regular
agenda,
presentation,
discussion
and
direction
regarding
additional
evaluation
and
implementation
of
several
proposed
insurance
programs
for
private
residential
sewer.
Excuse
me,
water
and
sewer
leak
protection,
water
service
line
protection
and
sewer
lateral
protection,
as
requested
by
the
water
and
public
works
departments,
I'm
assuming
that's
in
hand
and
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
for
a
presentation.
Thank
you.
H
Mister,
thank
you
appreciate
you
introducing
and
reading
that,
because
that's
a
mouthful
and
I
didn't
want
to
read
it
off
the
first
slide
so
good
evening.
I'll
start
the
presentation
with
just
a
few
minutes
of
introduction
to
these
three
programs.
It
is
accommodates
between
the
water
department
and
the
public
works
department,
as
well
as
administration
we
have
with
us
today
is
also
Sun
Belt
insurance
or
serve
line.
Chris
Schultz
will
be
following
me.
H
Up
do
most
the
presentation
and
Jerry
har
Steen
is
also
here
so
at
the
end,
you'll
have
four
of
us
to
ask
questions,
comments
and
discussion
with
that.
We'll
jump
in
first
one
is
leak.
Protection
I'll
summarize
that
down
to
leak
protection.
So
a
lot
of
our
leaks
from
a
residents
come
from
toilets,
though
there
are
other
I
on
many
occasions
have
had
that
opportunity
to
talk
with
most
of
you
around
the
horseshoe
as
well
as
the
next
two
is.
H
In
addition,
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
dealing
with
our
citizens
on
these
three
topics
and
usually
at
the
end
of
conversation.
Our
citizens
are
not
the
happiest.
Our
rate
study
does
not
leave
room
to
not
charge
for
the
water
that's
consumed,
even
when
the
residents
a
lot
of
times,
don't
believe
they
got
a
good
value
or
use
out
of
that
water.
If
it
was
leaking,
so
we
still
have
to
charge
them.
We
don't
necessarily
like
it,
but
that's
it's
we
have
to
produce
it,
distribute
it
pump
it
in
the
such
so
leak.
H
Protection
in
this
case
will
cover
four
different
charges
on
the
screen:
water
charges,
utility
tax,
which
is
the
utility
tax
on
the
water
charge
itself
or
consumption.
The
consumption
of
water
drives
the
sewer
as
well
as
bloomington-normal
water
reclamation
districts.
So
if
you
use
water,
you
get
charged
essentially
in
four
different
categories,
and
if
you
have
a
leak,
the
same
charts
come
so
it
will
address
those
charges.
Over
and
above
a
certain
limit,
we'll
go
through
some
six
and
provisions
of
that
as
we
go
ahead.
H
The
next
one
is
water
lines,
and
this
is
the
portion
of
your
private
water
service
line.
That
is
from
your
private
meter,
which
are
the
meter
from
in
your
basement
or
crawlspace
out
to
the
curb
shutoff.
So
the
curb
shutoff
is
usually
in
the
Parkway
between
the
curb
and
the
roadway.
What
we're
going
to
talk
about
tonight,
I
just
want
outline,
is
between
that
shutoff
valve
and
the
meter
inside
your
home,
covering
that
oftentimes,
as
the
water
department
has
to
have
that
difficult
conversation
with
individuals
or
send
letters.
H
H
So
the
directions
you'll
hear
more
about
tonight
cover
that
section
of
the
private
sewer,
lateral
and
providing
the
homeowner
if
they
opt
into
that
program
to
have
some
peace
of
mind
and
insurance
program
on
that
portion
of
the
private
service.
With
that
I'm
gonna
step
away,
ask
Chris
Schultz
to
come
up,
walk
you
through
serve
line,
walk
you
through
the
three
programs.
A
little
bit
more
in
detail,
use
some
some
lowdown
on
that.
J
J
The
program
itself,
what
it
does
is,
obviously
it
recaptures
the
lost
revenue
for
the
customers
with
respect
to
their
water
bills.
It
pays
their
bills.
It
reduces
one
of
the
aspects
of
this
program
that
can
be
really
helpful
for
the
utility,
and
this
is
a
program
that
is
for
the
utility
to
present
and
bring
to
the
customers.
Is
that
will
reduce
a
lot
of
the
workload
because
we're
you
guys
are
getting
calls
all
the
time
the
water
department
about
people
that
have
leaks
or
have
issues
want
help,
and
what
have
you
with
serve
line?
J
The
customer
will
call
serve
line
direct
with
respect
to
their
leak
issues.
I
want
to
move
on
here.
What
we're
going
to
address
there.
There's
three
aspects
to
this
program.
The
first
and
I
want
to
address
the
the
kind
of
the
most
important
and
the
one.
That's
the
base
of
the
program
is
the
leak
adjustment
portion
and
what
this
actually
can
become
and
I
know
that
you
at
one
time
about
five
years
ago,
did
have
a
leak
adjustment
policy.
Well,
you
did
share
with
their
customers
and
have
decided
to
kind
of
dump.
J
That
I
know
that
you
know
we
always
help
out
the
customers
when
we
can,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
customers
that
need
that
help
and
that's
why
this
program
was
developed
now.
The
way
it
works
is
the
utility
is
presenting
the
program
and
is
the
conduit
to
your
customer.
You
decide
what
limit
you
want
covered
for
your
customers,
five
hundred
a
thousand
dollars
or
twenty
five
hundred
that
amounts
to
what
would
be
covered
for
each
customer
one
time
per
year.
Now
with
that
again,
this
is
the.
J
This
is
a
decision
that
the
utility
would
make
with
five
hundred
dollar
coverage.
You're
the
rate
would
be
to
the
customer
would
be
a
DA
would
be
a
dollar
five
per
month,
so
the
customer
would
pay
a
dollar
five
per
month
for
this
coverage.
They
would
have
up
to
five
hundred
dollars
of
coverage.
The
way
it
works
is
if
they
have
a
leak
and
they
call
serve
line,
they
would
call
Direct.
J
There
would
be
a
circumstance
where
there
would
be
a
direct
phone
line
from
what
might
even
be
a
local
call
to
you,
but
it
would
go
to
serve
Lange,
they
would
call,
and
they
would
then
say
that
they
have
a
leak.
The
serve
line
staff
would
ask
what
it
was
and
whether
it
was
repaired.
Okay
then
they
would
call
the
utility
here
in
Bloomington
and
ask
what
the
average
leak
was
for
that
customer
per
over
the
12-month
period
and,
let's
say
it's
$40.00,
and
they
have
a
$500
leak.
J
The
customer
is
still
responsible
for
the
$40.00,
but
the
serve
line
would
then
send
a
check
to
the
utility
for
the
remaining
portion,
the
four
hundred
and
sixty
dollars,
so
that
would
be
covered
and
the
customer
would
be
taken
care
of
it.
Kind
of
enhances
a
leak
adjustment
policy
that
you
have
and
it
becomes
a
leak
adjustment
policy
more
or
less
for
the
utility.
Now
the
customer,
one
of
the
most
important
aspects
with
respect
to
the
leak
is
that
each
and
every
one
of
your
customers
has
the
opportunity
to
opt
out
this
program.
J
They
don't
have
to
be
on
the
program
they
can
opt
out,
they
must
call
to
opt
out.
This
is
something
that,
in
the
initial
stages
of
putting
this
thing
together,
a
lot
of
utilities
were
consulted,
as
was
the
National
World
Water
Association,
and
they
felt
it
was
very
important
to
make
sure
that
everybody
was
on
the
program
to
start
with,
because
so
many
people
would
not
probably
wouldn't
sign
up,
wouldn't
know
it
existed.
And
what
does
happen
from
time
to
time
with
all
utilities?
J
So
that's
one
of
the
aspects
of
the
program
that
is
very
interesting
because
across
the
board,
with
all
the
the
utilities
that
we
have,
we
have
a
96%
participation
rate,
so
the
rate
is
high,
even
in
areas
where
there's
a
lot
of
lower
income.
It's
it's
amazing,
but
those
people
feel
like
in
many
cases
that
they
they
need
it
most.
It's
it's
easier
to
pay
a
dollar
dollar
50
than
it
is
to
pay
a
500
or
a
thousand
dollar
bill.
There's
no
deductibles!
J
J
M
First
of
all,
he's
not
that
much
younger
than
me,
so
this
father
thing
they're
the
the
first
12
months
of
the
program.
If
a
person
is
not
aware
that
on
the
program
and
doesn't
want
to
be
on
the
program
and
they
paid
into
it,
we'll
reimburse
them
for
whatever
money
they
have
paid
in.
We
do
not
want
the
customer
to
be
hurt.
The
program
was
established
to
protect
the
customer,
so
we've
gone
to
all
lengths
and
they
can
get
out
at
any
time
and
they
can
get
back
in
after
they
wait
30
days.
M
B
G
In
that
order,
sorry,
maybe
questions
for
Bob.
You
know
our
does.
This
include
the
water
overage
alert
that
we
have
given
in
the
past.
You
know
what
so
at
one
point,
we
were
alerting
people
that
their
water
usage
was
had
spiked,
and
then
we
were
eating
the
cost.
As
long
as
we
as
long
as
it
was
repaired,
then
we
switched
it
as
I
understand
it
and
we
still
get
that
alert.
We.
H
H
G
N
You
thank
you
for
this
information.
Just
a
question
in
regards
to
the
statement
enhances
your
current
leak
policy.
What
what
does
is
that
talking
about
other
insurance,
that
this
is
another
insurance
of
Stax
with
perhaps
other
insurance
they
have
perhaps
under
their
homeowners?
Is
that
what
that?
Well.
H
This
is
this:
is
the
league
policy,
so
usually
homeowners
insurance
don't
cover
this
and
I
should
have
mentioned
this
beginning.
We
searched
high
and
far
and
low
and
wide
for
a
leak
protection
insurance
like
this.
This
is
the
only
one
that
staff
could
find
that
offers
something
very
similar,
I
think
don't
dov'è
test
that
in
future
slides
the
only
other
way
to
do
it
is
to
build
it
into
our
rates
and
anticipate.
Each
user
is
going
to
use
pay
so
much
more
per
month
and
we
administer
it
ourselves.
H
N
Me
go
into
that
just
a
little
bit.
Yes,
the
policyholder
has
purchased
such
a
product
that
provides
some
coverage
under
their
homeowners
policy.
There
are
such
things
out
there.
How
will
this
product
work
in
tandem
with
that
as
a
stacked
limit,
or
will
it
split
on
a
pro-rata
basis?
Do
you
do
you
have
that
I
think.
H
N
M
Question
is:
who
do
they
want
to
pay
into
both
and
and
I
promise
you
if
they
look
at
coverages
of
anything
else
out
there.
This
will
protect
them
much
deeper
than
anything
else,
much
broader
coverage,
but
but
it
doesn't
interfere
with
that
and
the
enhanced
thing
I'll
just
add
to
it.
It
is
the
enhance
wording
was
intended
to
say
we're
not
coming
in
saying
cookie
cutter,
here's
the
package,
it's
what
do
you
have
as
a
package?
M
N
E
E
M
H
Done
that
and
I
think
in
your
council
pack,
if
I'm
going
by
memory
at
the
moment
and
actually
I
want
I'll
flip
it
open.
This
is
an
estimate
because
we
don't
actually
have
hard
numbers
aldermen
everybody
people
call
in.
We
talk
to
the
policy.
Our
frontline
staff
deals
that,
and
we
kind
of
go
to
the
next
question.
H
So
an
approximate
is
that
out
of
the
adjustment
requests
we
get
there's
about
60%
that
are
less
than
five
hundred
dollars
and
then
looks
like
85%
would
be
covered
by
a
thousand
and
ninety-five
percent
covered
by
twenty
five
hundred.
So
there's
very
frequently
and
frequently
does
it
go
above?
A
thousand
most
of
them
are
less
than
five
hundred,
but
it's
that
thousand
dollars
would
cover
most
everybody,
but
the
incremental
cost
difference
between
a
thousand
is
twenty.
H
H
E
M
Well
we're
from
Tennessee
and
we
just
can't
handle
it.
It
really
is
just
more
complicated
and
it's
easier
for
each
city
to
decide.
So
everybody
gets
a
fair
coverage
and
the
reality
of
our
people
call.
You
know
right
away,
answering
the
phones
and
addressing
thing
they
want
to
work
from
one
number
and
if
they
start,
if
everybody
gets
a
different
one,
it's
hard
for
us
to
price
it
it's
hard
for
us
to
manage
it,
and
and
if
we
did
the
other
side
of
it,
we
did
look
at
that.
The
cost
goes
up.
M
E
H
You
up
I
think
this
is
probably
a
question
for
Bob
and
I
apologize
if
I
missed
it
in
the
packet,
I
looked
for
it
and
maybe
I
just
missed
it,
but
how
many
leaks
do
we
have
each
year
that
would
be
covered?
Let's
say
we
did
$1,000
coverage,
I
mean
how
many
people
in
town
will
be
talking
about
that
that's
going
to
save
them.
Some
heartache
and
I
know
that
there
are
people
in
DIMM,
it's
Grove
and
in
areas
of
Ward,
one
that
this
has
happened.
H
I
talked
to
those
people
and
I
know
that
they're
very
unhappy
when
it
happens,
but
you
know
how
many,
how
many
times
is
realistically
happening
in
the
course
of
a
year
in
the
city
I'm
going
to
estimate-
and
you
did
not
mention
the
packet
because
I'm
apprehensive
to
put
number
to
that,
because
most
of
our
requests
simply
come
to
frontline
staff.
Frontline
staff
talks
them
through
the
the
scenario
lets
them
know
what
the
policy
is
and
there's
no
other
follow-up.
H
There
are
people
that,
like
that,
want
to
I
guess,
submit
the
written
adjustment
request
that
we
have
numbers
on,
but
we
talked
to
you
know
a
dozen
or
more
people
a
day
that
want
some
sort
of
adjustment
request,
so
it
can
impact
you
know
hundreds
or
thousands
of
people
every
year
we
just
don't
have
definitive
numbers
to
lay
out
for
you
in
graphical
format.
Okay,.
H
My
next
question
then,
would
go
back
to
you.
Sir
I
apologize
I
was
just
I
was
looking
at
that
initial
slide
with
all
the
different
organizations
that
had
on
there
is
serve
line,
a
non-profit
company
that
partners
as
like
a
conglomerate
of
other
companies
or
serve
line
a
for-profit
company.
Where
were
you
guys,
will
fall
on
that
spectrum?
We're.
M
For
profit,
we're
almost
there
the
the
objective
was
this:
is
we
weren't
in
it
for
a
short-term
profit?
We
were
in
it
for
the
long
term,
and
so
that's
why
we
partnered
with
all
the
different
states
in
the
National
Organization,
but
we
are
a
for-profit
organization,
but
that's
why
we
keep
the
cost
low.
It's
the
only
way.
We
can
do
it
as
we
spread
it
around
the
country.
Okay,.
L
Says,
thank
you
and
thanks
for
the
information,
I
I
appreciate
it.
Your
added
comment
about
people
being
able
to
opt
out
after
a
year
and
get
a
full
refund,
because
that
was
I.
Think
one
of
them
may
be
the
smaller
misgivings
I
had
about
the
program.
Talk
with
me
a
little
bit
about
how
you
set
the
premiums
so
is
this.
Is
this?
Is
this
like
term
life
insurance?
Is
this
the
premium
that
people
are
going
to
pay
or
do
you
have
the
ability
to
come
back
in
and
reset
this
in
a
year
two
years?
M
A
real
good
question:
the
the
premiums
are
established
based
on
history,
so
the
history
in
a
lot
of
cities
and
states
don't
exist,
so
we
do
a
national
average.
We
try
to
come
up
with
a
number
that'll
work.
Then
the
premium
is
good
for
a
year,
so
in
all
honesty,
in
a
year
the
rates
could
go
up.
So
I
want
to
be
upfront
about
that.
M
M
We've
not
had
one
increase,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
that
we
do
a
pretty
good
job
of
looking
across
the
country
to
see
what
those
you
know,
what
the
numbers
are
to
make
sure
that
people
are
protected
and
that
we're
protected
in
the
utilities
practice.
So
we
look
at
how
did
how
those
numbers
stack
up
now.
M
The
three
that
went
down
were
because
they
didn't
have
any
history
and
when
we
were
able
to
spend
time,
maybe
a
year
or
two
and
looked
at
their
numbers.
We
said
okay
you're
not
running
at
a
high
enough
number,
so
we
need
to
lower
your
rate.
So
we
look
at
it
to
make
sure
that
they're
being
charged
fairly
and
I,
don't
know
many
programs
that
you
can
say
that
the
only
the
only
change
was
three
went
down.
So
we
we
guard
against
increases
and.
L
M
Love
you,
okay,
no,
it's
it's
spread
across
the
country,
okay,
so
we
absolutely
look
at
the
rates
across
the
country
and
the
reason
that
we
can
keep
these
rates
low
is
that
it
might
be
a
badger
weather-wise,
a
lot
of
broken
lines
in
one
area
of
the
country.
We,
you
know,
we
balance
that
against
another
part,
that's
not
having
that
proper.
In
surprisingly,
the
part,
the
area
the
country
we
have,
the
most
problem
is
down
in
New
Mexico
I
would
have
never
guessed
that,
but
the
problem
is,
is
that
you
know
the
desert.
M
It
goes
cold
in
the
night
and
warms
up
in
a
day
and
it's
all
rocky
and
it
grinds.
So
we
didn't
expect
that,
but
that's
one
of
the
problem
areas.
We
have
ok
interesting
enough,
thank
you,
sir,
but
on
the
opt-out,
I
just
want
to
making
those
we
work
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
found
the
right
answer
to
protect
the
customer
and
and
all
the
interviews,
and
that
that
we
do
with
utilities.
This
was
the
only
way
we
could
find
to
do
that
and
make
sure
the
customer
is
protected.
That
was
ok.
Thank.
B
M
Exactly
right,
yeah
we
and,
and
we
don't,
then
they
were
not
protected,
and
and
so
you
know
the
way
that
this
works
is
pretty
straightforward.
You
know
more
people
in
the
broader
the
risk
and
we
can
absorb
ups
and
downs,
and
so
that's
why
we're
across
the
country
and-
and
it
has
worked
exactly
that
way.
Thank.
H
H
We
talked
about
eighty
dollar
bill
going
to
a
500
dollar
bill
and
I've
heard
multiple
cases
of
that
happening,
but
can
we
at
least
get
some
numbers
where
you
know
an
eighty
dollar
bill
had
become
a
160
dollar
bill,
or
you
know
something
like
that
where
we
can
see
that
there
was
a
big
jump.
Can
we
just
look
across
user
data
and
just
look
for
those
spikes
like
that?
Can
we
pull
any
reports
to
try
to
get
some
numbers
to
see?
You
know
other
than
the
anecdotal
stories.
H
We
all
have
how
many
actual
instances
there
were,
and
maybe
it's
maybe
it's
not
200-
maybe
it's
300
percent
or
increase,
or
some
massive
spike
like
that
I
think
so
we
have
an
idea
of
like
just.
How
often
is
this
really
happening?
Certainly,
we
run
reports
each
each
month
and
look
for
those
types
of
things.
I
was
explained
earlier,
it's
very
manual
process,
but
we
do
the
data
dumps
in
the
report.
B
B
H
B
Is
all
demand
Matthew
suggested
be
nice
to
have
more
than
anecdotal
evidence,
because
I
hear
it
all
the
time
I
don't
want
to
say
not
a
week
goes
by,
but
there
are
some
times
where
a
week
goes
by
that
I
hear
more
than
once,
where
people
are
complaining,
they're,
not
double
or
triple
they're.
Five
hundred
a
thousand,
we
had
a
very
local
prominent
politician.
Try
to
get
in
touch
with
both
me
and
mr.
B
M
I'll
just
make
one
comment
that
across
the
country,
what
we
see
in
terms
of
the
percentage
of
people
that
have
leaks
per
city
per
year
is
ten
percent
or
greater
and
I
had
a
discussion
in
similar
setting
or
that
was
challenged
as
10
percent.
Is
that
really
that
big,
a
deal
and
I
think
it
comes
down
to
the
fact
that
water
is
one
of
those
things
that
folks
don't
maybe
appreciate
or
take
for
granted
until
they
have
a
leak?
You
know
they
turn
the
faucet
on
the
water
comes
out,
and
this
fellow
says
that
10%.
M
You
know
a
big
bill
from
us:
the
water
department,
that's
ten
percent
of
the
folks
that
are
not
happy
with
us,
because
they
only
get
one
piece
information
from
us
every
month
and
that's
a
bill,
and
now
it's
got
a
big
bill
and
then
ten
percent
are
unhappy
with
us
in
five
years.
Half
our
populations
not
happy
with
us
so
put
in
perspective.
That
was
one
of
the
comments
one
made
that
helps
any.
B
M
Well,
I:
will
we
covered
a
lot
of
this
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
each
slide,
the
water
line
in
the
sewer
line?
Those
are
two
separate
programs,
but
they
operate
similarly,
so
I'll
cover
those
together
and
and
some
of
its
similar
to
the
the
leak
in
that
there's
no
cost
utility.
There's
no
deductible-
and
you
know
the
public
relations
piece
I
want
to
point
that
out.
If
you
and
I
know
your
group
has
talked
to
a
lot
of
the
people
that
use
it.
M
M
The
sewer
line
is
the
same
way.
It's
$10,000
per
incident
all
the
way.
So
if
there's
a
road
cut
and
I
think
you
have
Road
cuts
correctly,
that
would
be
covered.
So
that's
a
that's,
a
four
or
five
thousand
dollar
charge
to
a
customer
right
there,
if
it
if
it
has
to
be
replaced
into
the
sewer
main,
so
those
are
all
covered.
M
So
that's
why
that
says:
no
limit
to
repairs
in
a
year,
so
you're
you're
all
covered
the
the
monthly
charge
you
can
see
for
those
is
it's
four
dollars
and
forty
cents
and
they
think
they're,
adding
the
44
cents
administrative
fee
for
484.
The
sewer
line
is
six
dollars
and
then
60
cents
administrative
fee
for
660.
M
That
program
is
requires
the
customer
to
call
in
and
ask
to
be
part
of
the
program
because
that's
not
tied,
you
know
it's
not
a
an
effect
on
the
utility,
the
water
utility,
it's
the
customer
completely.
So
the
way
that
works
is
the
customer
call
in
and
asked
for
the
program
and
get
signed
up
and
if
they
have
a
repair,
that's
needed,
and
that
happened
to
me
last
December
call
in
talk
to
the
serve
line.
Folks,
I
didn't
tell
him
who
I
was
I
wanted
to
make
sure
it
worked
the
same
way.
M
So
they
asked
how
it
happened.
Ask
word
occurred
when
it
occurred
and
they
said,
send
me
an
invoice,
sent
him
an
invoice
and
in
my
case
it
was
about
seven
days
later.
I
got
a
check
to
check
comes
directly
to
me
now
or
the
customer
I
wish
they
all
came
to
me,
but
just
so,
whereas
the
water
loss
that
check
goes
directly
to
the
utility.
So
those
are
the
doses
sort
of
the
differences
that
you
see
between
the
two
programs.
M
B
M
Are
limits,
there's
a
limit
I,
think
of
five
hundred
dollars
for
a
lawn
and
that
type
of
thing
landscaping,
I,
don't
know
of
too
many
exclusions,
earthquakes,
I,
think
hurricanes,
I,
don't
think
are
covered.
We
went
to
a
great
length
on
this
and
the
coverage
is
a
good
question
because
there
are,
there
are
warranty
programs
out
there.
We're
not
a
warranty.
I
want
to
distinguish
between
warranty
and
insurance.
M
Insurance
covers
all
three
programs:
warranties
can't
they're
not
allowed,
but
but
the
warranties
have
a
limited
coverage
and
I
think
I,
don't
know
if
we
have
a
slide
with
that,
it's
the
next
one.
There
we
go.
This
one
shows
warranty
programs
coverage
and
you
can
see
on
the
right.
The
serve
line
is
much
broader.
The
level
of
detail
we
went
to
make
sure
the
customer
is
protected,
probably
is
best
exemplified
in
the
middle,
where
it
says
defective
or
recalled
materials.
M
When
we
interviewed
the
utilities
about
40
utilities,
we
interviewed,
they
said
warranties
requires
you
to
know
what
pipes
you
have
in
the
ground,
because
if
you
have
a
defective
or
recalled
pipe
and
you've
been
paying
into
a
program-
and
you
call
up
and
the
plumber
says
well,
it's
this
blue,
poly
or
whatever's
recall
that
we
don't
cover
I've
been
paying
into
it.
They
said
how's
the
customer
really
know
what
kind
of
pipe
they
have.
So
we
cover
any
defective
or
recalled
pipes.
That's
not
the
customers
responsibility.
H
You
want
to
clarify
when
you
say
tree
roots
a
lot
of
times
tree
roots
will
clog
the
sewer
and
back
it
up.
If
it's
just
cleaned
out
from
roto-rooter
I
understand,
that's
not
covered,
it
actually
has
to
be
a
repair.
So
I
has
to
dig
and
point
repair
replace
a
piece
of
pipe
to
be
kind
of
covered
under
this.
So.
N
M
O
M
O
G
Think
my
observations
or
questions
are
probably
along
the
same
lines
as
the
other
two
I'm
looking
at
a
sentence
and
some
of
the
material
that
was
presented
to
us.
That
says-
and
this
has
to
do
with
like
removing
clogs
and
plugs-
and
you
know
no,
it
doesn't
cover
absolutely
everything
in
the
sentences
for
a
complete
list
of
coverage
and
exclusions.
Please
call
Anna
phone
number
and
I
guess
that
leads
me
to
my
feedback
on.
G
This
is
cautiously
positive,
but
I
would
also
like
an
opportunity
to
get
some
of
the
information
that
Jamie's
asked
for
to
have
a
lot
of
clarity
about
what
this
covers
for
our
residents
and
then
have
a
little
bit
of
time
for
that
to
percolate
out
and
for
us
to
get
feedback,
because
I
really
feel
like
there's
I
just
think
we
need
in
in
the
clearest
possible
language.
We
need
to
be
able
to
share
with
people
what
they,
what
they
could
get
and
what
they
might
not
get
out
of
and.
M
H
Can
take
I
think
you're
reading
from
the
FAQ
sheet?
That's
in
there
alderman
smitten.
We
can
certainly
take
that
and
expand
that
more
specific
questions
that
we're
hearing
around
the
horseshoe
tonight
or
some
instances.
We
might
just
pull
some
of
the
serve
line
staff
to
to
answer
some
of
the
typical
questions
they
get
so
that
we
anticipate
what
those
would
be
if
were
to
have
those
same
if
the
program
was
implemented.
I.
G
Did
think
of
one
other
question
so
suppose
you
sign
up
for
this
and
you
have
a
water
line
or
a
sewer
line
that
breaks,
and
then
you
repair
anything
you
kind
of
got
a
new
sewer
line.
Now
I
got
a
new
water
line,
I'm
going
to
cancel
it.
Can
you
cancel
it,
but
you
can't
split
at
any
time.
It's
not
are
you
signing
up
for
a
year
you
signing
up
for
and.
M
M
I
H
We
chose
10%
to
present
and
discuss
tonight.
There
will
be
some
effort
from
city
staff
to
manage
enroll
and
make
certain
network
charging
collecting
and
remitting
the
payment.
So
it'll
be
a
not
only.
The
water
department
interacts
but
also
takes
some
time
from
finance
and
other
departments
to
still
administer
the
program,
even
though
the
calls
for
some
of
this
will
go
straight
to
serve
line.
For
instance,
to
set
this
up,
we've
got
28,000
individuals
to
add.
That
is
quite
an
undertaking,
especially
with
the
system
we
have
in
place
now.
H
So
if
you
were
to
tell
me
to
go
and
implement
it
now,
it
would
take
us
several
months
to
even
get
to
that
point
and
then
it's
a
very
in-depth
process
to
make
sure
it's
accurate,
tracked
and
appropriate.
So
we've
chosen
10%,
you
can
choose
to
tell
us
5%,
you
can
choose
to
tell
us
to
add
it
as
a
service
with
our
current
tasks
and
we'll
go
in
that
direction,
but
it
was
just
an
acknowledgement
that
it
will
still
take
us
effort.
It's
an
added
program.
H
L
Say,
thank
you
was
so
just
up
just
a
maybe
a
small
reaction
to
what
you
just
said.
I
mean
it.
It
is
possible
right
that
it
will
take
us
a
year
to
get
this
set
up,
and
then
we
really
won't
have
that
much
administrative
work
to
do
on
it.
After
this
thing
is
up
and
running
I
mean
the
giant
share
of
it
will
be
done.
Let's
say
in
the
first
year
most.
H
L
And
I'm
not
suggesting
that
we
don't
have
any
percentage
there
I'm
just
saying
we
can
let's
be
clear,
that
the
giant
share
of
the
work
is
going
to
be
done
after
that,
and
then
the
10%
in
the
out-years
is
more
maintenance,
but
probably
less
time.
That
is
correct.
Okay
and
someone
I'll
follow
up
on
what
what
Karen
said,
because
I
think
she
makes
a
good
point
and
again,
this
is
for
for
our
staff,
and
that
is
I
may
be.
Let
me
be
even
a
little
bit
more
specific
right.
L
What
will
help
me
be
able
to
to
to
more
clearly
be
comfortable
voting
to
approve
this
is?
Is
this
communication
document
not
fa
Q's,
not
not,
because
we
basically
have
two
different
coverages
here
right
I
mean
we
have
a
mandatory
coverage
and
we
have
an
optional
coverage.
If,
if
people
you
know
choose
to
take,
it
is
to
have
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
if
it's
a
matrix
or
if
we
take
this
schematic
that
that
was
here
earlier,
that
that
shows
okay,
this.
This
is
what
this
insurance
covers.
L
You
know
is
this
part
of
the
line.
You
know
if
we're
gonna
do
something
on
this
line.
It's
covered
under
the
buck
forty
a
month,
if
in
Escott,
suggests,
if
I
rent
that
one
the
one
slide
correctly.
If
you
pick
up
the
full
optional
coverage,
you
could
be
looking
at
up
to
ten
dollars
a
month.
Extra
I
believe
right.
So
we
need
to
be
very
clear.
L
Make
make
sure
that
there
is
absolutely
a
little
room
for
misunderstanding
and
misinterpretation
as
possible
as
to
what
what
those
specific
coverages
are
and
do
it
in
such
a
way
that
it's
it's
much
easily
a
you
know
very
easily
understood
rights.
I,
don't
know
if
we
want
to
do
with
pictorial
or
a
matrix
or
whatever,
but
it
needs
to
be
I
would
suggest
on
a
single
sheet
right,
so
the
whole
forth
and
conquer
pop.
You
know
I.
H
M
H
M
Example
in
the
packet,
which
would
go
out
to
explain
the
program
and
I
will
promise
you
this
across
the
country.
We've
not
had
any
issue
with
people
being
confused
and
I'll
just
I'll
just
use
this
as
an
example.
If,
if
a
program
exists,
a
leak
adjustment
program
exists
with
the
utility,
and
this
is
this-
represents
the
number
of
folks
that
are
using
it
currently
in
that
city.
Once
the
program
goes
up
every
city,
the
usage
goes
up
significantly,
so
they
understand
how
it
works
and
they
understand
how
to
use
it.
M
H
E
One
one
quick
question
of:
maybe
not
quick,
so
we'll
see
I
wanted
you
to,
because
I
want
to
be
able
to
kind
of
visualize
how
it's
going
to
work.
So
take
me
from
the
moment
that
I
have
an
issue
in
you
know
my
my
front
yard
whatever
and
I
and
I
make
the
call.
Then
what
happens
next
kind
of
take
me
step
by
step.
M
So,
in
both
cases,
once
you
identify
a
problem,
whether
it's
I've
got
a
water
high
water
bill
and
it
needed
to
be
fixed
or
I,
have
a
leaky
pipe
and
it
needs
to
be
fixed
either
way
a
call
would
be
place.
Some
people
will
call
the
utility,
as
Bob
mentioned
some,
but
but
everything
gets
directed
to
us
sooner
or
later,
so
they
call
in
they'll
talk
to
a
claims
person.
They'll
explain
the
question
the
problem
as
it
occurred
to
me
it
was
okay,
you
have
a
leak
one.
When
did
it
happen?
Well,
I
found
it.
M
You
know,
how
did
you
find
it
I
identified?
It
I
told
him
how
identified
they
said.
Well,
okay,
where
did
it
occur
and
I
said
well,
the
plumber
found
it
and
it's
three
feet.
You
know
this
side
of
the
house.
Okay,
well,
anything
else.
You
can
tell
me
about
it.
Well,
no,
it's
just
the
one
connection
broken,
and
so
once
that's
explained,
then
all
that
happened
on
the
line
fix
was
send
me
a
copy
of
the
invoice
on
a
leak.
You
caught
it.
Okay
on
the
leak
part,
they
will
say:
did
you
fix
it?
M
Yes,
it's
been
repaired,
okay
and
we
will
contact
utility
to
ask
them
what
the
average
bill,
because
they
were
using
water
that
month.
So
let's
say
it
was
$40,
as
Chris
said,
so
they
asked
for
the
$40
to
be
paid
they.
So
our
people
contact
a
customer
and
explain
to
them.
Your
average
bill
is
$40.
We
will
pay
the
remainder.
So
if
it
was
$1,000
bill,
then
we'll
pay
the
960
and
we
explain
we'll
send
that
check
to
the
utility
and
you're
taking
care
of
you.
You
have
no
other
costs
than
your
average
bill
straight.
B
A
B
D
D
I
Want
to
get
some
feedback
now
that
I've
heard
some
of
the
discussion
and
I
think
there's
been
a
lot
of
good
questions,
especially
when
it
comes
to
the
details
of
how
this
would
work.
There's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
here.
The
public
education
portion
of
it
will
be
very,
very
important
to
make
sure
under
people
understand
what
their
options
are,
whether
it's
opt-in
or
opt-out
and
understand
all
that.
I
But
that
being
said,
I
am
I'm
very
optimistic
that
this
type
of
program
could
provide
a
level
protection
and
peace
of
mind
to
a
residents
that
they
currently
do
not
have,
and-
and
this
is
the
concern
I
hear
and
I
know
others
do
from
residents
about
you
know
if
there's
a
leak,
they
don't
find
out
about
it
till
they
get
that
bill.
You
know,
there's
not
very
little.
They
can
do
to
protect
themselves
when
it
comes
to
sewer
and
water
lines.
Again,
that's
that's
a
pretty
catastrophic
event
and
it's
very,
very
expensive.
I
It's
hard
to
plan
for
it's
hard
to
protect
yourself
against,
so
to
offer
our
constituents
an
option
to
have
a
program.
That's
been
vetted
by
city
staff
and
it
has
been
I
was
very
encouraged
that
city
staff,
as
we
shot
to
other
communities
who
currently
work
with
serve
line
and
it
received
positive
feedback
on
this
program
and
the
benefits
are
provide
to
the
community.
I
H
H
That
has
not
been
replaced
by
me,
except
for
the
sewer
line
to
the
street
and
the
water
line
out
to
the
street
and
I
do
kind
of
have
some
long-term
paranoia
that
that
there's
a
bush
in
the
front
yard
that
seems
to
be
growing
faster
than
the
other
bushes
around
it
and
I'm
wondering
where
the
roots
go.
For
that
thing,
so
I
also
say
that
I'm
also
of
optimistic
on
this
I,
like
numbers
Bob,
you
guys
I've,
beat
up
all
of
you
guys
for
just
hard
numbers.
H
M
I,
could
your
comment
and
as
well
the
beauty
of
this
and
and
Bob
and
his
crew
has
done
a
good
job,
but
many
utilities
call
other
utilities,
call
other
cities
and
we're
very
open
to
that.
That's
the
beauty
of
it
is
we
have
nothing
to
hide,
I
mean
we
want,
as
you
said,
to
the
customers
to
be
educated,
but
it's
also
important
that
you
all
are
educated.
So
you
know
the
feedback
from
people
that
use
it.
I
think
are
very
important.
M
O
Bray,
thank
you.
This
is
more
for
staff.
So
so
thank
you
to
kind
of
give
Direction
feedback
on
this
I
think
the
program
has
a
lot
of
merits.
I
think
we
should
be
exploring
it
more.
Some
of
the
in
the
weeds
questions
we've
gotten
this
evening
show
that
we
should
be
a
little.
We
bring
back.
A
final
proposal
have
some
of
those
details
ironed
out
specifically
in
terms
of
what
my
Boca
was
talking
about
with,
like
the
process
specifically
like
what
would
happen
for
a
Bloomington
resident
if
their
waterline
broke
or
they
had
a
leak.
O
How
would
that
play
out?
So
whenever
that
this
comes
back
a
couple,
different
examples
with
our
staff
and
viewed
into
the
process
would
be
helpful
for
me,
I
would
seriously
like
to
explore
what
it
looks
like
price-wise
for
the
premiums
to
combine
all
three
services.
What
kind
of
discount
does
that
get
with
the
same
kind
of
parameters
of
residents?
If
they
don't
want
to
pay
it,
they
can
opt
out
and
they
have
that
option,
but
there's
this
number
in
my
head:
oh
I'm,
sorry!
Oh
that's!.
O
What
what
that
would
look
like
I
for
me
also
I,
think
that
there
should
be
some
consideration
for
landlords
that
they
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
opt
out
if
they
have
a
multi
dwelling
needed
house.
A
lot
of
my
calls
come
from
landlords
who
have
issues
and
tenants
who
have
issues
with
their
landlords,
paying
not
paying
for
some
of
these
bills,
and
we
don't
want
to
get
caught
up
in
that
and
for
such
a
nominal
fee.
I
think
that's
something
we
should
definitely
explore.
O
At
the
end
of
the
day,
though
I'm
very
supportive
of
the
concept,
I
think
it
has
a
lot
of
Merit
and
it
kind
of
speaks
to
a
larger
conversation.
I've
had
with
some
of
my
colleagues
up
here
and
staff
that
our
current
water
bill
is
a
missed
opportunity
to
explain
what
the
city
services
are
and
and
I
think.
This
conversation
could
trigger
other
conversation
about
how
we
design
documents
that
go
to
the
public,
so
the
alderman
sages
comments
matrix
or
something
that
explains
it.
O
That
I
look
at
this
and
I'm
like
okay,
but
for
the
average
resident.
You
know
if
they
are
in
this
program
and
they
have
a
water.
You
know
overage
and
cause
of
a
leak,
or
they
have
a
sewer
line.
Break
they're
going
to
want
to
know
is
it
covered?
Is
it
not,
and
and
if
we're
not
being
crystal
clear
about
that
every
single
month
by
design
we're
gonna
have
headaches
later
on,
so
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
redesign
that
whole
form.
N
You
and
I
also
favor,
making
these
coverages
available
to
our
citizens.
However,
I
see
that
the
coverage
that
you've
quoted
is
that
actual
cash
value,
meaning
there's
a
deduction
for
depreciation
based
on
the
age
of
the
line
I
would
imagine,
is
how
that
would
translate.
Based
on
your
policy
language
that
you've
included
here
so
I
wonder
if
you
could
quote
as
a
premium
for
replacement
cost
coverage
as
well.
N
Then
it
indicates
that
the
valuation
provision
is
that
the
value
of
the
covered
property
is
based
on
actual
cash
value
at
time
of
loss
with
a
deduction
for
depreciation.
It's
a
common
phrase
right
in
the
insurance
industry.
So
that
would
mean
that
if
I
had
a
20
year
old,
sewer
pipe
that
broke
and
sewer
pipes
live,
you
know
usually
or
have
average
life
of
40
years.
I
have
a
50
percent
deduction
for
depreciation,
and
my
payment
is
really
if
it's
a
$10,000
replacement.
My
payment
is
$5,000.
M
N
M
B
We
could
have
considered
them
separately
or
together
at
this
point,
seemed
like
we
did
is.
Is
there
a
consensus
on
the
council
for
staff
to
move
forward
and
I've
heard
several
people
say
they
want
some
more
information,
perhaps
certainly
well
some
step
up
from
the
and
I
ripped
this
out
just
so
that
I
have
this
at
the
next
open
house,
because
I'm
sure
I'll
get
questions
about
it.
B
B
B
And
then
that's
I
think
that's
one
of
things
that
we
need
and
I've
got
several
interviews
a
couple.
Radio
interviews
over
the
next
24
hours.
I
can
try
to
make
that
point
as
clear
as
possible.
Okay,
anything
else.
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
All
right
at
this
point.
I
turn
things
over
to
our
city
manager,
city
manager.
Mr.
Gleason
thank.
H
You
very
much
mayor,
Scott
finance,
director,
Scott
Rathbun
is
going
to
present
the
first
finance
directors
report.
As
he's
walking
up
to
the
podium
two
things.
We
normally
show
the
events
for
the
community
in
the
upcoming
week.
We
did
not
load
that
this
week,
so
I
apologize
and
then,
secondly,
with
the
passage
of
agenda
item
number
two
just
a
reminder
to
the
community.
Our
next
council
meeting
on
September
10th
will
start
at
6
o'clock
Scott
real,
quick
Scott.
H
Is
our
finance
director
everybody's
aware
of
that
no
longer
interim,
and
this
is
something
that
I'm
very
excited
about.
Obviously
elected,
get
the
information
on
a
monthly
basis,
but
this
is
a
30,000
foot
view
of
some
of
the
you
know.
Some
of
the
things
related
to
revenues
and
expenses
fully
expect
to
you
know,
have
additional
questions,
but
you're
gonna
see
this
on
a
regular
basis.
P
The
executive
summary
always
includes
these
comments
about
well,
you
know
all
the
major
revenues
lag
by
two
to
three
months,
so
the
trending
does
not
correlate
with
where
we
are
in
the
year
and
how
do
we
accommodate
that?
So
the
first
schedule
we
have
here
is
the
major
revenue
summary.
As
you
see
on
the
right,
we've
got
all
these
different
number
of
months
collected
months
of
revenue
realized.
This
makes
it
very
challenging
to
do
the
financial
reports
because
munis
we
can
only
load
in
the
annual
budget
and
the
munis
reports
always
gives
us
this
trend.
P
P
We
have
10
to
12
years
of
historical
data
that
is
used
to
do
seasonality
through
the
entire
year,
so
the
major
revenues
are
budgeted
by
month
for
the
year,
but
we
just
can't
get
that
out
of
minutes,
so
we're
just
going
to
manually
put
it
in
here
so
that
we
can
have
a
good
review
each
month
of
where
we
are
in
comparison
to
our
budget.
Our
expectations,
so
I'm
gonna
jump
right
to
the
red
I'm.
Sure
everyone's
eyes
are
going
right
to
those.
P
So,
although
I
don't
want
to
skip
home
row
sales
tax,
you
know
that
that
was
$24,000
over
for
the
first
month,
state
sales,
tax,
65
grand
under
income
tax,
eighty
one
thousand,
but
with
revenues
we
received
in
August
Home
Rule
sales
tax
came
in
two
hundred
twenty
two
thousand
dollars
over
budget.
In
the
single
month,
state
sales
tax
came
in
thirty
two
thousand
dollars
over
budget
and
income
tax
came
in
sixty
thousand
dollars
over
budget,
so
of
those
I'm
gonna.
P
P
So
if
we
take
that
into
account
and
kind
of
look
down
this
line
or
this
column
excuse
me
I'm
going
to
jump
down
to
food
and
beverage
52
thousand
dollars
over
budget
sixty
one
thousand
dollars
over
the
prior
year,
I'm,
seeing
those
as
some
encouraging
indicators
that
the
local
economies
cook
along
pretty
good
I,
mean
to
me
the
food
and
beverage
is
one
I
kind
of
keep
an
eye
on
our
building
permits,
which
is
not
on
this
report.
We
only
want
to
show
the
top
ten
but
I'm
going
to
comment
on.
P
It
is
way
down
it's
under
budget
under
budget,
it's
under
the
prior,
your
budget
by
eight
hundred
eighty
or
ninety
thousand.
But
when
we
looked
at
last
year,
we
compared
that
to
2016
a
lot
of
that
report
done
on
a
calendar
year
to
date
last
year
was
just
a
stellar
year
as
far
as
like
new
construction
goes,
so
the
information
I've
seen
recently
from
the
Bloomington
Normal
Realtors
Association,
so
there's
a
lot
of
activity
for
resale.
It's
just.
P
It
seems
to
me
I'm,
not
a
big
real
estate
guy,
but
it
seems,
like
you
know,
we're
we're
at
capacity
as
far
as
the
number
of
homes
that
are
needed
in
the
community
as
far
as
building
goes,
but
there's
still
a
lot
of
activity
occurring,
so
in
general,
if
I
just
wrap
this
up.
If
you
look
at
the
one
month
here,
you
know
there
may
be
concerned,
but
when
I
add
those
comments
in
about
August
I'm
feeling
pretty
confident
that
things
are
trending
positively
for
the
city
through
this
time.
Any
questions,
oh.
E
L
You
Scott
I'm,
just
curious
I'm
interested
in
how
we're
going
to
be
able
to
line
up
these
trends
with
with
our
budget
development
process
for
next
year.
So,
for
instance,
I
mean
we're
going
to
probably
start
looking
at
some
at
some
preliminary
numbers
for
the
next
fiscal
year
budget.
Probably
sometime,
this
fall
right,
I'm
just
ready
what
are.
L
L
What
type
of
revenue
you
know
records
will
have
by
the
time
we
start
to
develop
that
budget,
to
the
point
where
we
will.
We
have
three
months
or
four
months.
Well,
we
have
something
that
can
can
really
offer
some
insight
and
in
terms
of
projecting
into
the
following
your
budget,
what
we
think
the
revenues
are
going
to
be.
It's
gonna
be
a
little
bit
hard
to
budget.
If
we
have
a
two
month
sample
that
were
that
we're
working
from
or
you
know
a
three
month
sample
or
something
is
you
right.
P
You
understand
what
I'm
saying
so
through
August.
You
know
using
Home
Rule.
It's
an
example:
we've
got,
we've
got
two
months
right
so
by
the
time
we
hit
October
are
going
to
have.
You
know
some
time
two
more
months,
four
months,
so
it's
not
a
great
sampling,
but
if
it
if
it
provides
us
with
a
trend
that
we
can
apply
to
the
budget
process,
I
mean
that's,
that's
the
kind
of
thing
we
have
to
do.
P
P
Will
make
one
comment:
ambulance
fees
usually
surprised
people.
You
know
four
point:
nine
million
dollars
in
ambulance
fees;
there's
there's
a
large
offset
to
that
category
related
to
insurance
adjustments
and
bad
debt.
That's
almost
fifty
five
percent
of
that
category,
so
the
net
for
ambulance
fees
usually
ends
up
being
about
half
that.
P
Okay,
this,
if
you're
familiar
with
the
monthly
reports
and
I
forgot
to
mention
that
all
these
schedules
are
going
to
be
in
the
monthly
report
that
gets
posted
to
the
city
website
under
the
transparency
link,
this
one
we've
expanded
to
include
the
prior
year
and
the
projected
for
the
coming
year.
So
this
is
a
similar
issue
that
I
already
mentioned.
As
far
as
the
revenues
go,
we've
got
the
budget
column.
Obviously
the
year-to-date
you
can
see
down
at
the
bottom
here
we're
at
a
negative
three
million
dollars
for
current
year.
Year-To-Date.
P
That's
because
of
these
lagging
revenues,
then
we've
got
the
revised
budget
remaining
and
there's
this
percent
that's
been
used
or
realized,
comparing
that
to
the
twenty
five
percent.
That
really
doesn't
do
us
much
good
when
it
comes
to
projecting
or
realizing
where
we
are
in
the
year,
so
we've
put
in
this
prior
year
so
that
we
can
look
at
comparisons
year
over
year
and
then
as
a
year
progresses
we'll
start
updating
this
projection
column
so,
for
example,
salaries.
P
If
we,
if
we
start
having
some
significant
vacancies,
we'll
start
adjusting
that
downward
it's
a
little
too
early
to
do
that
now,
although
we
do
have
some
vacancies
that
have
been
reported
charges
for
services
that's
down
over
prior
year,
some
of
that
has
to
do
with
the
ambulance
fees.
Those
are
down.
The
Pepsi
Ice
Center
was
closed
for
a
month
for
for
repairs,
so
it
just
gives
us
a
point
of
reference
to
do
comparisons
to
see
if
we're
trending
or
if
we've
got.
P
P
The
other
comment
I
wanted
to
make
was
this
use
of
fund
balance
in
the
budget.
This
confuses
a
lot
of
citizens
so
that
I
have
people.
Ask
me:
I
can't
make
heads
or
tails
out
of
your
income
statement,
because
it's
you
know
it
always
comes
to
zero.
You
know
for
the
budget.
Well,
you
know
us
as
individuals.
If
you
had
you
know,
if
you
made
a
hundred
dollars,
you
spent
ninety.
You
saw
a
ten
dollar
loss
at
the
end
of
the
year
for
a
balanced
budget.
P
The
way
we
reflect
that
is,
we
were
planning
to
use
four
hundred
ninety
thousand
dollars
of
savings,
so
it's
reflected
that
almost
as
a
revenue,
so
that
our
about
our
budget
is
balanced.
Using
those
terms,
someone
could
say
most
unbalanced,
but
that's
that's
the
way
we
do
it
at
the
city.
We
show
it
as
a
use
of
fund
balance
to
balance
the
budget
over
here
on
the
projected
year-end.
It's
not
actual
dollars.
Those
are
savings
we
at
our.
P
P
P
You
know
we
had
fee
increases
for
sewer
storm,
solid
waste.
We
budgeted
those
to
begin
in
May
and
we
realized
you
know.
There's
a
billing
cycle
delay
the
bills
reflect
the
fee
increase
that
gets
sent
out.
The
cash
starts
coming
in
so
we're
kind
of
watching
that,
but
we're
seeing
we're
seeing
the
reflection,
the
effects
of
those
fee
increases.
The
initial
month
was
like
a
little
alarming,
but
then
we
realized
that
that
was
the
issue,
so
everything
is
trending.
Just
fine.
P
You
see
these
commitments
these
POS
a
lot
of
these
are
related
like
solid
waste,
$51,000
positive
year-to-date,
so
the
expenses
are
down
already
1.2
million
dollars
in
POS.
Well,
that's
you
know:
disposal
commitments,
landfills
and
that
kind
of
thing
you
know
that's
going
to
be
used
up
as
your
progresses,
so
this
will
start
to
zero,
get
closer
to
zero
and
then
hopefully,
we'll
have
you
know
some
fun
balance
being
created
there.
L
P
And
that
that's
very
similar
to
this
comment,
I
made
here
for
the
general
fund,
four
hundred.
Ninety
thousand.
So
if
everything
worked
out,
we've
actually
budgeted
a
loss.
A
four
hundred
ninety
grand
because
we're
gonna
use
savings
our
projection
during
the
budget
process
last
year,
so
that
we
were
going
to
have
a
surplus.
So
we
decided
to
use
one
or
ninety
thousand
dollars
started
out
to
be
about
380
for
additional
capital
expenditures
for
the
enterprise
funds.
Water
has
significant
fund
balance.
P
They
have
budgeted
the
use
of
fund
of
fund
balance
for
projects,
so
at
the
end
of
the
year,
they're
total
year-to-date
gain/loss
will
be
a
negative.
They
will
have
lost
money
because
they
spent
more
than
they
made,
but
that
was
the
plan
because
they
had
if
they've,
built
up
savings
and
fund
balance
over
the
years.
So
we've
budgeted
fund
balance
used
some
water
golf
and
the
arena.
The
arena
we.
F
L
You
kind
of
alluded
to
this,
but
but
I
want
you
to
say
it
clearly,
because
I'm,
an
elected
official,
so
I
need
for
you
to
speak
slowly
in
you
small
words
right
does
this.
Does
this
mean
when
we
say
a
fund
balance?
This
means
these
enterprise
funds
had
money
transferred
into
them.
No
they've
accumulated.
L
P
L
H
B
G
Glad
I
wanted
to
extend
thank
you
to
Bob
Mart
and
Katie
Stinson
Izzy
Rivera
Trisha,
Stiller,
Katherine
Dunlap,
and
then
some
of
us
were
also
at
the
downtown
intake
session
yesterday
afternoon
and
the
blazing
heat
was
very
productive,
really
enjoy.
It
was
very
creative
engagement
with
downtown
stakeholders
and
I
appreciate
them.
Putting
it
on
I,
don't
want
to
put
you
on
the
spot.
Mr.
Gleason,
but
I'm
interested
in
knowing
where
we
are
now
with
moving
ahead
on
some
of
the
accidents
on
the
downtown
task
force.
H
G
H
H
B
B
Oh,
oh
I,
didn't
I,
haven't
checked
that
okay.
Thank
you
so
much
so
that
at
this
point,
all
we
need
is
a
motion
to
adjourn
whoa.
Oh,
that
was
lightning
fast.
Move
by
all
the
movement
is
a
Schmidt
and
seconded
by
at
least
one
other
person.
Is
there
a
second
to
adjourn?
We
all
the
woman
helman
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
okay,
we're
adjourned.
