A
We've
got
enough
of
sebast,
emotion,
okay,
we
will
go
forward
and
I'm
gonna
turn
this
over
to
our
city
manager,
and
just
so
that
everybody
also
understands
you
know
we're.
Everybody
is
involved
in
this,
regardless
of
whether
or
not
you
know
some
once
the
local
city
hear,
his
report
has
gone
forward
and
declared
a
state
of
emergency.
A
We
have
discussed
this
I've
discussed
it
with
our
city
council
members,
but
we
do
have
a
city
manager
who
is
no
stranger
to
crisis
management,
having
been
city
manager
of
Washington
Illinois
in
late
2013,
when
they
had
the
tornado
hit,
so
that
plus
the
fact
that
our
our
County
Administrator
is
a
former
head
of
the
health
department
and,
given
her
background,
I
think
we
have
appointed
administrators
who
are
really
in
great.
You
know
we're
in
great
hands
and
I
just
wanted
to
do
to
preface
your
remarks
mr.
A
B
You,
mayor
and
city
council
into
the
community
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
provide
an
update
on
the
ever-changing
action
that
the
city
is
taking
in
response
to
the
Cova
19
pandemic.
I've
created
some
talking
points
I'm
going
to
try
to
be
brief,
but
there's
a
fair
amount
of
information
to
cover.
So
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
first
share
that
city
staff
have
been
in
conversations
internally
and
with
our
external
partners
for
weeks
prepping
for
the
likelihood
of
what
we
are
experiencing
as
a
nation
state
region
in
this
community.
B
Administrative
Court
was
postponed
until
May
Zoo
closing
will
be
on
Wednesday
March
18th,
which
is
the
day
after
the
primary
election
because
it
is
held
at
the
zoo
first
Friday
in
downtown
Easter
events
have
been
canceled.
Business
travel
for
employees
has
been
canceled
established
a
line
item
to
collect
all
expenses
associated
with
kovat
19
for
the
possibility
of
reimbursement.
So
if
we
have
staff
that
are
off
because
of
an
illness
orbic
as
a
child
cares
consideration
the
increased
cost
for
some
of
the
cleaning
supplies,
that's
something
that
we're
now
tracking.
B
You
know
in
the
finance
department,
through
a
line
item
that's
created
just
for
kovat
19
boards
and
Commission
meetings
that
can
be
suspended
have
been,
but
this
will
also
follow.
Any
changes
that
the
council
might
adopt
in
the
future
also
stood
up
a
direct
link
on
the
city's
website
to
the
CDC,
the
Illinois
Department
of
Public
Health
in
the
McLean
County
Health
Department
ramped
up
what
a
centralized
communication
strategy
would
look
like
internally
and
externally,
all
things
are
vetted
through
the
communications
manager.
Nora
Duke
awaits
considering
as
many
scenarios
recorded
regarding
city
employees
as
possible.
B
The
collective
bargaining
agreements,
child
care,
caring
for
other
family,
a
direct
exposure,
an
indirect
exposure,
work
at
home
or
telecommunication
or
telecommuting,
and
so
on.
I
have
actually
been
working
since
last
week,
really
Jeff
Jergens
been
the
one.
That's
been
running
the
lead
on
this.
We
will
have
an
executive
order
from
the
city
manager
will
be
finalized
tomorrow
and
it
puts
into
it
well
formalized
as
many
of
the
thing
that
I
was
sharing
and
that's
a
fluid
document.
That's
ever-changing
as
well!
B
Next,
considering
how
do
we
deliver
city
services
in
other
ways,
messaging,
the
current
online
options,
actual
physical
signage
facility
closure
to
limit
public
access
and
so
on?
Local
ongoing
discussions
with
McLean
County,
the
town
of
normal,
that
have
ramped
up
to
include
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
EDC
and
others,
and
this
is
at
my
level
local,
ongoing
discussions
among
staff
with
hospitals,
Public
Safety,
Emergency,
Management,
the
state's
attorney's
office,
our
insurance
carriers
for
things
related
to
our.
B
Coverage
and
others
other
ongoing
discussions
or
following
the
the
updates
that
they're
providing
with
the
Illinois
Municipal
League
the
state
of
Illinois,
the
President
of
the
United
States
and
his
administration,
and
then
also
as
an
alumni
for
the
center
of
homeland,
defense
and
security.
There's
an
alumni
site
for
a
lot
of
emergency
management
professionals
from
around
the
state,
United
States
are
tracking
what
their
best
practices
are
as
well
over
the
weekend.
D
B
18Th,
the
day
after
the
primary
and
until
May
1st
look
to
our
city
website
for
instruction
on
the
various
services
that
can
be
delivered
online,
we
will
be
suspending,
and
this
is
just
to
name
a
few
and
we'll
get
that
complete
list.
In
you
guys's
hand
when
we
have
that
water
shutoffs.
For
any
reason,
water
meter,
replacement,
fine
collection
and
again
we'll
provide
updates
to
follow
in
the
very
near
future,
we'll
be
providing
the
following
services
from
the
will
call
windows
at
the
Grossinger
arena
along
Madison
Street
and
then.
B
Saying
here
is,
while
we're
closing
the
facility's
City
Hall
and
the
government
center,
the
city
portion
of
the
government
center
we're
still
going
to
try
to
push
people
to
online
payment,
use
the
drop
box,
but
we
know
that
there's
those
needs
for
some
individuals
to
pay
in
person
or
to
have
that
direct
contact,
but
also
trying
to
maintain
the
separation.
We've
got
a
we'll
call
window.
That's
on
Madison
Street
at
the
arena.
B
There's
four
windows
that
it's
not
going
to
take
very
much
to
get
those
up
and
plan
on
getting
that
finalized
tomorrow
in
preparation
for
the
Wednesday
closure
action,
suppose
they
must
still
go
to
that
location.
We'll
have
the
clerk
step,
the
water
billing
staff
they'll
all
be
in
one
location,
we're
going
to
stand
up
a
covered
area
and
also
propane
tank
for
heat.
You
know
on
the
exterior
if
that
would
be
necessary.
B
B
Have
let
me
back
up
and
say
this
a
different
way:
Public
Safety
is
one
where
the
exposure
or
the
possibility
of
exposure
is
probably
far
greater
for
any
of
our
employees.
So
I
want
the
council
to
understand
that
if
a
crew
and
the
fire
department
is
exposed,
what
is
chief
Moore
have
in
place
to
the
to
deal
with
that
on
the
police
side?
Just
as
one
example,
if
we
start
losing
police
officers,
what
what
happens
with
some
of
the
specialty
physicians
and
the
patrol
is
the
primary
focus.
B
If
you
know
we
get
to
that
point
and
he's
got
a
plan
in
and
that's
just
one
example
of
some
of
the
things
that
the
Chiefs
are
going
to
comment
to
legal
considerations,
I'm
going
to
call
up
Jeff
Jergens
after
the
fact
he'll
talk
about
what
we
prepared
as
an
emergency
declaration.
Also
some
OMA
considerations
and
we'll
walk
through
some
of
the
items
that
he's
got
prepared
to
present
communication.
B
Nora
Duke
wits
is
not
here.
I
tried
to
eliminate
as
many
staff
but
I
know,
she's
watching
us
on
the
livestream,
as
actually
the
other
directors
are
required
to
as
well.
But
Nora
is
our
central
point
of
contact
regarding
information
and
communication
internally
and
externally
am
I
going
to
get
the
gavel.
Okay,
all
right
if
there
was
ever
a
time
to
over
communicate
if
that
is
possible
with
the
most
up-to-date
information
that
is
ever-changing
and
fluid.
It
is
times
like
this.
B
Even
more
critical
is
controlling
the
communication
so
that
it
is
consistent
for
our
community's
sake,
respect
the
fact
that
media
has
limits
in
terms
of
space
and
a
news.
Article
may
be
time
in
a
radio
conversation
and
a
complete
message
can
be
lost.
We
do
not
have
that
challenge
and
we'll
be
communicating
via
our
social
media
sites
and
our
website
to
complement
and
complete
our
local
media.
So
Nora
in
her
role
truly
becomes
the
that.
C
B
That
central
point,
not
necessarily
the
PIO,
you
know
because
I'm
sure
you
guys
are
going
to
have
constituents
that
want
to
be
heard
from
you
as
elected
officials.
I'm
just
saying
Nora
is
that
person
that
provides
a
script.
If
you
will
that's
up-to-date,
provides
talking
points
and
then
definitely
internally
with
the
staff,
it's
one
where
any
media
outreach
or
any
questions
that
are
being
asked
of
us.
It
goes
through
Nora.
She
might
provide
the
response
or
she
might
provide
the
response
back
to
the
department
director
to
respond
to
the
media
requests.
B
So
those
are
a
number
of
things
that
we're
doing
internally.
Tomorrow
we
have
a
staff
meeting
that
will
finalize
what's
going
to
appear
in
my
emergency
order
as
a
city
manager
and
that's
really
the
personnel
type
of
stuff
that
we
need
to
consider
as
we
prepare
for
what's
here
today
and
what's
likely
to
come
next
one
thing
that
I've
talked
about
staff
and
I'm,
actually
very
I,
appreciate
the
comments
mayor
and
I
keep
touching
my
face
and
I
shouldn't
be,
but
very
much
appreciate.
The
comments,
but
I
have
been
very
impressed
with
the
department
directors.
B
Like
I've
said,
we've
been
prepping
for
this
for
the
last
handful
of
weeks,
and
you
know
these
guys,
I'm,
surrounded
by
a
staff
that
are
very
much
ready
for
something
like
this.
So
it's
made
it
a
lot
easier
on
me.
So
as
we
progress
through
this,
when
we
will
get
to
the
other
side,
you
know
as
a
nation
more
so
as
a
community.
B
It's
just
the
preparation
steps
that
we've
taken
up
to
this
point
so
definitely
pledged
to
council
that
we
will
keep
you
as
up-to-date
as
we
possibly
can.
Maybe
check
that
city
email
a
little
bit
more
often
than
you
typically
do,
and
if
there
is
something
that
is
urgent,
we'll
be
activating.
You
know
people
to
reach
out
to
you
guys
directly
via
cell
phones,
so
real
quick
I'm
going
to
read
an
email
that
came
from
the
county
administrator
Camille
Rodriguez.
There
was
a
request
that
she
present
to
Council
and
I
think
internally.
B
What
she
was
asked
to
do
from
the
county
side
was
to
prepare
a
memo
that
I'm
about
to
read
so
I'm
gonna
read
that
now
dear
city
manager,
Gleason-
and
this
is
again
from
Camille
Rodriguez,
the
County
Administrator
dear
city
manager,
Gleason
I,
want
to
share
an
update
regarding
McClain,
County,
goverment's
planning
and
response
you,
the
coronavirus,
ghovat
19.
First,
there
are
still
no
confirmed
cases
in
our
area,
but
we
are
thinking
ahead
for
County
administration.
B
The
last
two
weeks
have
been
full
beings
with
leadership
from
the
courts,
Sheriff's
Department
state's
attorney
and
public
defender,
nursing
home
jail,
medical,
juvenile
detention
center
and,
of
course,
the
Health
Department
to
receive
and
share
the
most
up-to-date
information
and
federal
and
state
recommendations,
our
request
requirements
regarding
information
about
Cova
19.
In
addition,
last
week
we
convened
an
emergency
meeting
of
the
McClain
County
board
to
change
the
location
of
two
polling
places
located
in
long-term
care
facilities.
B
We
are
reassured
by
the
preparations
by
the
county
departments,
as
well
as
the
collective
commitment
to
convene
and
collaborate
with
partners
like
city
of
Bloomington
town
and
normal,
the
mayor's
Association,
the
township
supervisors,
the
regional
office
of
education,
any
other
Kip
broman
and
OSF
hospitals,
as
we
only
have
a
gate,
this
new
territory,
health
and
public.
The
people
that
live
with
us
and
our
staff
is
the
driving
force
of
our
planning
and
decision
making.
B
We
continue
to
communicate
public
health
updates
and
any
changes
in
recommendation
like
the
hospitals
that
apartment
has
initiated
its
Emergency
Operations
Center
facilities
remain
open
with
some
changes
in
operations.
A
claim,
counting
complication
is
suspended
as
per
federal
guidance,
adult
detection
center
visitations
remote
video.
B
Mcclain
County
government
will
continue
to
share
the
most
current
kovat
19
information,
as
provided
by
the
state
and
federal
authorities,
including
what
people
should
do
if
they
think
they
are
sick.
You
can
find
that
information
on
the
McClain,
County,
Health,
Department's
website
and
social
media
feeds,
including
Twitter
and
Facebook.
B
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
share
this
Emperor
Marie
of
McLean
County
goverment's
efforts
as
we
promote
health
attache.
Please
find
an
unexhausted
list
of
community
resources
to
share
with
all,
and
that
was
in
the
attachment
that
I
sent
in
the
city
manager,
update,
I,
guess
a
couple
of
things
that,
as
I'm
setting
here
and
before
I,
pass
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
guys
to
the
Chiefs
first
and
then
to
Jeff.
You
know
some
of
the
things
that
we've
had
to
consider.
B
We
actually
had
a
couple
of
employees
that
are
returning
from
Europe,
so
they've
agreed
to
self
quarantine
for
14
days.
We
have
an
employee
that
not
a
direct
contact
with
a
confirmed
case
in
state
of
Illinois,
but
a
sibling
had
the
confirmed
contact
and
then
there
was
a
family
gathering
after
the
fact,
and
then
we
also
have
an
employee
that
had
a
direct
contact
with
one
of
the
confirmed
cases
in
the
state
of
Illinois.
B
So
it's
all
these
things
on
the
personnel
side
that
we've
had
to
consider
and
trying
to
be
ever
conscious
of
the
ghovat
19
considerations
and
then
also
the
health
and
safety
of
the
staff
to
the
elect
into
the
community.
So
those
are
some
of
the
reasons
that
the
decision
was
made
and
I
see.
You
know
I
shared
this
decision
with
the
county
and
with
the
town,
and
it
appears
that
some
of
the
other
municipalities
in
the
region
we're
going
to
have
facility
closures
as
well.
B
We
know
that
it's
important
for
some
for
some
residents
to
have
that
face-to-face
contact
and
that's
why
we
feel
that
we've
got
a
great
opportunity
with
the
arena
with
the
ticket
windows
that
apparently
are
not
used
but
still
intact,
and
have
the
phone
system
and
the
computer
systems
that
we
can
use.
It
just
was
a
perfect
fit
to
be
quite
honest,
so
that
will
be
effective
on
Wednesday
chief
doughnuts.
If
you
would
work
your
way
down
to
the
podium
and.
E
You
so
as
city
manager,
Gleason
indicated,
police
and
fire
are
in
a
unique
position
that
we
have
to
maintain.
We
can't
work
from
home
as
many
people
do
so
we're
preparing
to
make
sure
that
we
can
accomplish
that
and
through
a
variety
of
ways.
So
what
I've
done
is
I've
kind
of
broken
down
into
a
few
different
subject
areas,
some
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
to
try
to
minimize
our
exposure
and
our
risk,
but
still
provide
services
to
the
city
that
are
necessary.
So
the
first
one
is
a
shorter
one.
E
And
in
conjunction
with
that,
we
are
closing
the
osborne
room
for
public
functions
and
we
actually
started
that
last
week
and
contacted
people
that
had
reservations
already
to
let
them
know
and
we'll
continue
that
internally
inside
the
building
we've
stepped
stepped
up
our
touchpoint
cleanings,
including
over
the
weekend,
because
if
you
think
about
if
a
building
is
cleaned
at
these
touch
points
on
a
Friday
afternoon
and
get
Saturday
Sunday
Monday
morning,
you
get
two
and
a
half
days
where
that
wouldn't
necessarily
occur.
So
we're
also
going
to
do
that
over
the
weekend.
E
So
just
a
couple
notes
about
the
building
in
regards
to
officers,
so
we
are
provided
the
CDC
and
IDPH
recommended
protective
personal
protective
equipment
in
all
of
our
squad
cars.
So
what
is
that
consist
of
it's
goggles?
It's
a
ninety
five
mask
it's
tiebacks
suit
and
then
what's
the
fourth
one
I'm
forgetting
right
now,
oh
they're,
just
gloves
just
what
we
normally
wear
for
gloves.
So
that's
the
CDC
recommended
guidelines
for
law
enforcement,
as
well
as
the
Illinois
Department
of
Public
Health,
and
that
will
be
in
all
the
squad
cars.
E
So
they
have
those
available
we're
starting
a
protocol
to
have
the
officers
clean
their
squad
cars
before
every
shift.
So
first
shift.
Second
chef.
Third
shift
they'll
be
cleaning
their
squad
car
if
they
transport
a
person,
they'll
be
cleaning
that
area
and
they
will
be
cleaning
shared
workstations
every
time
they
use
them.
We're
also
going
to
go
to
a
kind
of
modified
approach
for
minor
reports,
so
in
other
municipalities
they
actually
provide
online
reporting.
We
don't
do
it
that
normal
does
Chicago
does
many
places.
E
Do
we're
going
to
have
not
online
reporting,
but
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
kind
of
evaluate
if
somebody
says
well,
somebody
keyed,
my
car
I,
don't
know
who
it
is.
There's
no
evidence
we're
going
to
take
that
report
over
the
phone
and
because
we
have
evidence
comm,
we
can
actually
send
an
invite
to
the
person
that
allows
them
to
share
pictures
of
it.
So
we
can
still
document
that
stuff
so
we'll
be
doing
that
as
a
way
to
minimize
some
of
the
contact.
E
Because,
again
we
need
to
preserve
our
officers
and
their
ability
to
show
up
for
work.
So
any
contact.
You
know
you
know
adds
to
the
possibility
that
they
could
be
become
infected.
So
it's
some
little
things
like
that.
We're
going
to
do
we're
gonna
when
it
comes
to
arrests,
minor
charges,
we
may
not
make
the
arrests
and
transform
to
jail.
E
We've
put
all
of
our
non
Patrol
sworn
personnel
and
noticed
that
they
may
be
required
to
handle
calls
for
service
an
event
that
a
large
wave
of
officers
get
quarantined.
We
hope
that
doesn't
occur,
but
if
it
does,
people
like
in
detective
Division
or
places
like
that
that
normally
don't
work
patrol
or
take
calls
for
service.
They
know
that
they
need
to
be
on
the
ready
officers
are
directed
to
clean
their
duty,
build
equipment
if
they're
in
close
contact
with
something
that's
suspected
to
be
positive.
E
We're
recommending
officers
change
their
uniforms
every
day
and
then
we're
also
recommend
the
use
of
the
patrol
van
to
transport
prisoners
that
are
showing
signs
of
kovat
19:00.
So
there's
no
signs,
they
can
still
transport
in
a
squad
car
plate
if
they
need
to
or
went
to,
but
if
they've
got
signs
showing
of
that,
we
want
to
have
a
singular
vehicle
that
we
utilize
for
that
purpose.
E
To
answer
questions
clarify
any
concerns
they
have
so
they've
got
that
one-on-one
to
know
where
they
stand
for
non
swerve
personnel,
we're
limiting
access
to
the
dispatch
center
to
dispatch
personnel,
supervisors
custodian,
so
no
officers
in
the
dispatch
center
because,
obviously
they're
you're.
We
can
work
in
an
environment
where
the
closed
environment,
nowhere
for
them
to
go
there
within.
Well,
they
probably
aren't
quite
within
six
feet
of
each
other,
but
they're
fairly
close.
E
The
community
service
officers
will
wear
gloves
if
they
have
to
transfer
anything
under
the
window
thanked
before
then
they
have
that
screening
window,
so
the
respiratory
transfer
doesn't
occur.
Interagency
wise
we've
shared
information
with
alias,
which
is
the
Illinois
law
enforcement
alarm
system.
If
your
knee
requests
are
required
by
them,
we
will
actually
go
through
our
County
Emergency
Management
Association,
which
is
a
little
bit
different
than
normal
and
then
we're
meeting
with
normal
PD.
Is
you
PD
Sheriff's
Department
and
the
state's
attorney's
office
on
Wednesday
Fiocchi,
which
is
a
software?
E
So
that's
just
kind
of
a
you
know
an
outline
of
a
little
bit
of
some
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
to
try
to
limit
the
exposure
of
officers
at
the
same
time,
be
able
to
still
do
police
work
and
make
sure
that
we're
taking
care
of
their
business,
but
balancing
those
two.
Those
two
aspects.
Thank
you.
B
More
one
thing:
Leslie
is
Royden
for
the
chief,
the
location
at
the
arena,
I'm
calling
it
the
will
location,
that's
actually
the
old
box
office
and
we'll
have
plenty
of
us
aging.
You
know
on
all
of
our
social
media
site,
use
local
media
and
we're
talking
about
physical
signage,
so
that
people
know
where
to
go.
Chief.
Thank.
F
You
so
again,
like
city
manager,
Gleason,
said
several
weeks
ago,
we
began
reviewing
the
McLean
County
EMS
pandemic
response
plan,
as
well
as
previous
plans
that
we
had
had
for
situations
similar
to
this,
such
as
h1n1
and
Ebola.
We
have
daily
meetings
with
our
command
staff
to
discuss
the
current
state
of
affairs
just
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
up
to
date
on
the
latest
and
the
movement
of
the
virus-
that's
been,
you
know,
moving
closer
and
closer
to
us,
hey
chief,
yes,
I.
G
F
Thank
you
so
then,
early
last
week,
McLean
County
EMS
activated
level
1
of
the
pandemic
response
plan,
which
again
makes
agencies
review
their
plans,
make
sure
that
you're,
looking
at
your
stockpiles
of
your
equipment,
your
personal
protective
equipment,
your
decontamination
supplies
and
and
then
reviewing
the
signs
and
symptoms
of
the
the
kovat
19
and
then
on
Tuesday
McClain
County.
Excuse
me,
roaming,
ttan
dispatch
began
asking
additional
questions
to
certain
patients
that
have
call
type
similar,
so
anybody
experiencing
flu
symptoms
difficulty
breathing.
F
Then
they're
asked
several
different
questions
which
would
help
to
identify
if
they
are
a
prime
candidate
that
could
be
a
potential
Kovan
19
patient
those
patients.
Then
we
increase
the
PPE,
that's
worn
for
our
staff
on
those
transports.
We
try
to
limit
the
exposure
of
our
staff
by
having
one
caregiver,
come
up
and
approach
the
patient
and
ask
questions
if
the
patient
does
exhibit
signs
and
symptoms
with
fie.
F
We
have
stopped
many
activities
that
we
would
typically
be
doing
and
try
and
really
focus
on
our
central
functions.
So
currently
we're
not
sending
companies
out
to
do
pre
plans
of
buildings
again
trying
to
limit
our
exposure.
We
are
not
doing
hydrant
testing.
Currently,
typically,
we
don't
start
that
till
April,
but
our
plan
is
to
hold
off
on
that.
Until
this
passes,
we've
stopped
giving
station
tours
and
our
limiting
visitor
access
to
the
stations.
F
We
have
canceled
student
ride-along
program,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
students
that
are
precepted
by
our
our
staff,
and
that
is
that
is
halted.
We're
getting
a
daily
summary
of
patients
that
warrant
that
extra
question.
So
we've
transported
numerous
patients
that
have
you
know
flu-like
symptoms
in
respiratory
difficulty
over
the
last
couple
days,
but
we're
tracking
that
watching
for
uptick
sit
in
that
we
met
with
union
leadership
leadership
to
discuss
contingency
plans.
Obviously
our
staffing.
F
Just
as
chief
Donna
said,
we
have
a
minimum
of
staffing
of
29
currently
with
our
second
ambulance
that
we're
putting
in
a
headquarters
at
31
during
peak
operational
periods.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
can
maintain
that
staff.
A
quarantine
similar
to
other
departments
could
be
devastating.
So
we
work
and
we
met
with
them
to
discuss
those
those
possibilities
and
ways
that
we
could
deal
with
that.
F
Just
even
as
closest
rockford
had
a
quarantine
for
a
few
hours
of
several
firefighters.
So
we
that
nationally
as
well,
the
International
Association
of
Fire
Chiefs
has
a
dashboard
and
they're
asking
for
a
daily
survey
of
fire
departments
to
provide
information
on
exposures
and
quarantines
and
we're
filling
that
out.
F
F
Currently,
we've
had
a
couple
resignations
over
the
last
month,
which
puts
us
off
on
one
shift
compared
to
the
other,
so
we're
going
to
balance
those
this
week
in
an
effort
to
try
to
just
limit
the
overtime
and
also
spread
that
over
time
out,
we've
established
some
quarantine
procedures,
we're
reviewing
the
CDC
McClain
County
website
on
a
daily
basis
for
updates
again
communicating
with
McLean
County
EMA,
communicate
with
normal
Fire
Department
command
staff
on
a
daily
basis.
We
are
also
currently
working
on
a
plan
to
set
up
an
alternate
response.
F
Excuse
me
an
alternate
transport
unit,
so
an
ambulance
that
would
be
dedicated
only
to
transport,
a
Koba
19
confirmed
case
again.
We
don't
have
that
situation
right
now,
but
in
the
future,
potentially,
if
we
would
get
someone
that
is
isolated
at
home
and
their
situation
worsens
and
need
to
be
transferred
to
a
hospital,
we
would
have
a
single
ambulance.
It
would
be
dedicated
to
that
so
that
we're
not
continually
exposing
that
to
other
patients
right
well,
we've
met
with
several
stakeholders
just
to
discuss
plans
as
they
potentially
might
close.
F
How
that
would
impact
our
needs
and
and
particular
so
project
Oz
is
operation
safe
house
where
youth
can
come
and
have
a
safe
place
at
the
fire
station
till
we
can
get
a
counselor
there
to
help
them
if
they
were
to
close
their
doors.
That
could
possibly
do
an
uptick
well
for
not
allowing
station
visitors
how
we
handle
that
situation,
how
we
ask
questions
before
we
bring
them
in,
so
that
we're
not
contaminating
our
workspace,
isolating
them,
keeping
them
separate
and
comfortable
while
we're
waiting
for
someone
to
come
get
them.
F
As
from
our
office
personnel
in
our
administration,
looking
at
ways
to
decrease
impact
on
them,
so
on
a
daily
basis,
we'll
have
fire
fighters
come
through
the
administrative
offices
just
to
get
paperwork,
filed
paperwork
put
in
requests
for
turn
out
or
not
turn
out,
but
there
are
uniforms
and
we've
eliminated
that
we're
going
to
keep
them
in
their
workspace.
Separate
that
workspace.
Of
course,
we've
we've
increased
our
cleaning
on
a
daily
basis
as
well.
Are
the
firefighters
do
the
cleaning
of
their
stations?
F
They
also
do
clean
the
the
administrative
offices
and
have
always
done
a
good
job,
especially
during
like
flu
season
they're.
Well
aware,
you
know
how
that
impacts
us
from
a
staffing
need
is.
We
are
usually
on
the
front
lines
of
transporting
sick
patients
to
the
hospital.
So
with
that,
you
know,
they're,
always
cleaning
with
that
intent,
but
again
now
we're
cleaning
with
a
heightened
level
of
fairness.
B
Jeff,
if
you
would
work
your
way
to
the
podium,
jeff
has
done
quite
a
bit
of
work
and
I
want
to
take
a
couple
of
minutes
for
him
to
walk
through
the
different
types
of
emergencies.
You
know
one
that's
been
enacted
by
the
president.
You
know
not
not
a
an
in-depth
description,
but
just
trying
to
differentiate
more
so
for
the
community,
the
difference
between
a
national
emergency,
a
state
emergency
and
then
we've
prepared
the
documents
for
a
local
emergency.
If
we
get
to
that
point,
yeah.
I
I
think
everybody's,
probably
aware
of,
as
you
know,
there's
been
a
national
emergency
declaration
by
President
Trump
that
waive
certain
insurance
requirements
related
to
Medicare
and
Medicaid
also
talks
about
freeing
up
federal
funding
for
the
states
to
use
in
response
to
the
crisis,
helping
with
providing
tests,
medical
supplies
that
type
of
thing
then
we've
also
have
the
state
emergency
declaration
from
Governor
Pritzker
that
directs
state
resources
to
work
with
the
local
authorities
to
develop
strategies
to
address
the
the
public
health
crisis.
It
also
loosens.
Certain
procurement
rules
at
the
state
prohibits
certain
price
gouging.
I
You
know
for
the
medical
supplies,
those
types
of
things
and
proclaims
that
state
and
local
resources
are
not
sufficient
to
respond
to
the
emergency,
so
it's
been
requesting
that
national
assistance,
as
part
of
that,
so
we've
got
those
two
declarations.
We
have
also
gotten
or
received
several
executive
orders
from
Governor
Pritzker.
Today,
a
very
important
one
came
down
with
regard
to
the
Open
Meetings
Act.
That
waives
certain
provisions
of
it.
That
allows
a
little
bit
or
actually
a
lot
more
freedom
in
terms
of
allowing
electronic
attendance
at
our
meetings,
so
that
was
important
too.
I
You
know
everybody
was
scrambling
to
find
out.
You
know,
what's
the
authority
for
this
going
to
be
so
we
now
have
that
clear
authority
from
the
governor.
We
also
have
directives
from
the
governor,
as
everybody
knows,
on
the
closing
of
the
bars
and
restaurants
that
will
happen
tonight.
The
closing
of
schools
and
those
types
of
things
the
governor
has,
as
everybody
knows,
been
holding
press
conferences
every
day
he's
also
been
holding
phone
conferences.
I
Now
it'll
go
to
twice
a
week
where
we,
as
municipal
officials,
are
getting
direct
updates
from
the
governor's
office
and
from
the
Department
of
Public
Health.
So
we
have
been
participating
in
those
conferences
as
well
at
the
local
level.
We
also
have
the
ability
to
declare
a
local
state
of
emergency.
We've
got
that
paperwork
prepared
in
case
we
get
to
that
point.
Really.
What
that
does
at
the
local
level
is
allow
certain
emergency
powers.
Should
we
need
it?
You
know
the
type
of
things
that
you
know,
one
that's
being
talked
about
now.
I
Some
is
imposing
the
curfew,
we're
clearly
not
at
that
point
yet,
and
a
lot
of
our
directives
have
been
coming
from
the
state
the
state's
been
taking
the
lead
on
a
lot
of
these
issues.
So
you
know
what
they've
been
mandating.
Obviously
you
know
we're
following
and
were
we're?
Okay
with
that
so
right
now
we
have
the
emergency
declaration
drafted
in
case.
We
need
it
in
case.
The
mayor
needs
to
sign
it.
The
mayor
can
sign
that
as
be
effective
for
48
hours.
He
can
then
renew
it
for
another
48
hours.
I
The
next
step
would
be
for
the
city
council
to
pass
an
ordinance
declaring
the
emergency
and
we've
got
that
document
drafted
as
well.
So
if
we
get
to
the
point
where
we
need
to
start
perhaps
exercising
some
more
emergency
powers,
we
have
those
documents
ready
to
go.
But
at
this
point
our
code
also
allows
the
city
manager
to
issue
executive
orders,
and
our
code
also
sets
it
up
so
that
the
city
manager
has
you
know
various
authority
and
powers
to
handle
a
lot
of
these
situations,
including
emergency
purchases.
B
I
guess
in
closing
mayor
just
couple
of
additional
comments:
definitely
will
keep
the
elected
officials
up
to
date
with
you,
information
ever
changing
I
think
I
kicked
out
three.
Maybe
four
city
manager
updates
today
and
that's
just
the
environment
that
we're
in
currently
I
don't
know
if
we
will
call
this
a
silver
lining,
but
given
the
pandemic
and
the
times
that
we
are
in
staff,
know
to
look
for
opportunities
and
all
of
this
as
well.
Do
we
address
our
gasoline
contract?
It's
extremely
low
right
now,
with
some
of
the
stuff?
B
That's
happened
regarding
interest
rates,
you
know.
So
this
is
not
just
you
know
the
negative
side
trying
to
be
responsive.
The
department
director
is
also
are
taking
some
opportunity
to
be
proactive
and
see
if
there's
opportunities
out
there.
That
might
be
hard
to
believe,
but
that's
the
crew
that
we've
got
working
for
us
appreciate
the
time
mayor
and
council
definitely
more
to
come
great.
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
all
the
department
heads
and
have
all
of
our
staff
for
really
being.
On
top
of
this.
We
very
much
appreciate
it
moving
right
along
that
under
number
6.
We
have
presentation
discussion,
the
future
agenda
topics
here,
and
this
is
presentation
and
discussion
of
FY
2021
and
FY
2022
resurfacing
projects,
as
requested
by
the
public
works
department,
and
we
have
a
20-minute
presentation
and
up
to
a
30
minute
council
discussion
this
evening
and
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
start
I'll
turn
it
over
to
well
I
guess
mr.
D
B
Him
really
minute
Kevin
sorry
interruption
there
were
there
was
no
public
comment
is
what
city
clerk
wanted
me
to
share
with
everybody
just
to
keep
things
in
order
and
then
real,
quick
on
Kevin's
presentation.
You
know
this
is
something
when
we're
talking
about
streets
in
construction,
20,
construction,
21,
because
we're
talking
about
a
two-year
plan.
B
This
is
something
that's
been
shared
with
council
already
in
three
on
one's
and
I
have
asked,
and
we
can
change
this
right
now,
but
the
original
amount
of
time
I
had
asked
Kevin
to
shorten
the
presentation,
but
and
that's
what
he's
going
to
do.
But
obviously,
if
there
are
questions
comments,
we'll
take
as
long
as
council
wants
to
I
just
want
to
share
that
if
you're,
if
you're
sensing
a
condensed
presentation,
it's
because
I
asked
them
to
earlier
today,
thanks
Kevin
thanks.
D
Kevin
Thank
You
city
manager,
Gleason,
yes,
so
my
presentation
is
a
little
briefer
than
we
originally
planned
on,
but
I
did
want
to
address
the
council.
As
was
said,
we've
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
in
our
three-on-one
meetings,
but
there's
been,
you
know
some
discussion
about.
What's
the
budget
look
like
for
the
proposed
construction
season
this
summer?
This
is
the
FY
2021
proposed
budget
for
gas,
vault
and
concrete,
and
we
have
just
over
eight
million
dollars,
that's
programmed
in
the
budget.
D
This
will
be
adopted
in
April
and
at
the
top
you
can
see
the
Lutz
Road
constructions
programmed
in
there
just
under
a
million
dollars
and
then,
as
we
go
down
the
left
side,
you
can
see
the
sidewalk
vertical
displacement.
That's
what
we
call
the
grinding
contract,
where
we
correct
vertical
displacements,
with
grinding
as
opposed
to
having
to
do
full
panel
replacement
and
then
the
sidewalk
and
curb
ramp
program
at
a
million
dollar
1.1
million
dollars,
and
then
the
emergency
multi
year
street
and
alley
and
sidewalk
repairs
at
two
hundred
thousand.
That's
a
contract.
D
We've
been
as
well
that
allows
us
to
do
some
repairs
as
needed
to
different
streets
that
we
didn't
necessarily
anticipate
and
then
pavement
preservation
at
eight
hundred
thousand,
which
that
is
more
than
double
what
we
did
last
year.
We
did
just
under
four
hundred
thousand
and
pavement
preservation
and
then
five
million
in
resurfacing.
D
Those
projects
on
the
Left
that
I
mentioned
from
Lutz
Road,
all
the
way
down
to
the
emergency
multi
year,
are
out
for
bid
right
now.
Our
intention
is
to
bring
that
before
the
council
in
April
and
get
those
ready
to
go
by
May
1st
and
so
the
payment
preservation,
as
you
know,
that
is
being
done
by
just
one
vendor
and
over
the
last
number
of
years,
we've
wave
bids
for
that
one
and
negotiated
that
contract
this
year
as
well
we're
going
to
be
talking.
D
We
talked
about
that
for
the
general
resurfacing
contract
that
we
want
to
in
the
essence
of
time,
and
the
fact
that
we
for
the
last
number
of
years
have
only
had
one
bidder
for
general
resurfacing,
we'll
find
it
more
efficient
to
negotiate
that
to
try
to
gain
as
many
advantages
as
we
can
with
the
contractor
in
terms
of
the
cost
efficiencies.
So
I
just
wanted.
There's
a
lot
of
detail.
I
gave
you
on
that
slide,
but
there's
a
lot
to
say
there.
D
So
the
streets
for
two
years,
21
+,
FY,
21
22,
which
would
be
this
summer
in
the
following
summer.
We've
changed
the
color
code
to
make
it
a
little
bit
easier
to
see
between
the
two
shades
of
red.
Sorry
about
that
and
that
that
process
to
pick
these
streets
we've
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
before
you
know
this
year.
D
For
the
first
time,
we
used
a
software
program
from
infrastructure
solutions
called,
do
T
decision,
optimization
technology,
and
that
was
a
big
learning
curve
for
our
staff
and
and
we're
still
learning
as
we
go
with
it.
But
you
know
we
still
radar
our
streets
based
on
the
Pazar
scale
of
one
to
ten,
ten
being
the
best
one
being
the
worst.
D
We
put
that
information
into
our
GIS
and
input
that
into
the
software
and
that
software
has
a
number
of
settings
that
includes
things
like
functional
class,
whether
it's
an
arterial,
a
collector
or
a
local
street,
the
roadside
environment,
the
different
types
of
surfaces
and
service
type,
the
ADT
and
the
pays.
A
rating
system,
of
course,
are
the
inputs
into
that.
There
is
no
provision
in
the
software
up
until
now
to
be
able
to
do
it
by
wards.
D
So
that
was
a
question
about
street
selection
is
done
as
a
entire
C,
so
the
software
is
looking
at
all
the
streets
that
are
the
cities,
we're
not
considering
private
streets
or
state
routes.
Only
the
streets,
the
city
maintains,
but
as
the
software
makes
its
recommendation,
it's
based
on
the
toll
sea.
So
just
to
be
clear
about
that,
and
then
of
course
another
input
to
that
is
the
budget
constraint.
D
So
it's
trying
to
optimize
the
right
trying
to
pick
the
right
treatment
for
the
right
time
is
what
it's
doing,
in
addition
to
those
constraints,
and
we
also
constrain
it
further
by
putting
in
projects
that
we
know
are
coming
up
so,
for
instance,
the
locust
Colton,
the
different
phases
of
sewer
and
water
main
work
on
locust,
Colton
or
water
main
replacement
projects.
We,
when
we
know
that
those
are
coming
up,
we
put
those
projects
into
and
lock
them
in
for
a
certain
year,
so
that
the
program
doesn't
try
to
do
a
resurfacing
the
year
before.
D
One
of
the
things
that,
as
we've
gone
through
and
reviewed
the
streets
in
more
detail
for
because
we
still
put
together
plans
and
specifications
that
we
work
with
the
local
contractor
to
come
up
with
pricing
on.
We
realize
that
there
were
some
streets
in
the
list
that
we
shared
with
you
before
that,
where
it
was
recommending
for
resurfacing
there
to
be
more
cost-effective.
If
we
do
some
other
types
of
pavement
preservation
to
it
right
now,
so
we've
tweaked
that
list
a
little
bit
so
for
for
the
FY
21.
D
So
just
wanted
to
give
you
that
kind
of
overview
of
what's
going
on
with
that
the
bid
waiver.
We
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
already,
but
normally
this
in
this
process
we
normally
go
out
for
bid.
We
put
together
plans
and
specifications
go
through
a
bidding
process.
Bids
are
open
to
the
public
bid.
Opening
public
works
evaluates
the
business,
comes
to
you
for
recommendation,
so
a
fairly
lengthy
process.
D
What
we're
looking
at
is
the
bottom
process,
which
is
a
little
bit
more
streamlined
to
be
able
to
work
with
the
contractor
and
find
cost
efficiencies
that
we
still
have
to
come
to
you
for
the
bid
waiver.
We
still
have
to
come
to
you
to
approve
the
contract
with
that
contractor.
So
that's
all
part
of
the
process
and
then
will
be
pushed
putting
all
this
information
out
on
the
Bloomington
streets
website.
I
think
you're,
all
familiar
with
that.
D
J
J
While
you're
pulling
that
back
up
I'll
just
say
that
it
didn't
past
budget
iterations
we've
had
a
lot
of
success
rates
with
rolling
out
the
map
to
the
public,
getting
feedback
before
make
any
adjustments
and
I
like
that.
You
had
shown
the
resurfacing
approval
process.
So
if
there
are
desires
from
the
community
or
questions,
we
can't,
if
there's
still
time
to
adapt
our
policy
or
our
plan
for
21
and
22.
Is
that
correct?
Mm-Hmm,
yes
cool
so
I
just
say
if
we
sit
on
this
one
for
a
while.
This
gives
folks
at
home.
J
H
D
This
slide
that
talks
about
the
1.1
million
for
the
sidewalk
and
curb
ramp
replacement
program.
That's
all
that
rolled
in
together.
So
there
is
a
part
of
that
that's
allocated
for
the
50-50
program,
there's
a
part
of
it.
That's
that's
for
the
curb
ramp
says
you
know.
When
we
resurface
streets,
we
have
to
bring
any
curb
ramps
into
compliance
with
a
DA
and
then
there's
some
money
in
here
that
just
as
upgrading
the
sidewalks
along
the
blocks
that
we're
doing
or
addressing
complaints
from
from
you
know,
citizens
and
so
forth.
D
D
D
But
not
not
a
lot
more.
We
some
some
years.
We
don't
have
enough
requests
from
citizens
to
use
all
the
50:50
money
from
that
aspect,
but
you
know
when
we
talk
about
the
50-50
program,
we're
able
to
leverage
additional
dollars
to
get
more
done
type
of
thing.
If,
if
there's
City
dollars
left,
we
go
ahead
and
spend
that
by
the
end
of
the
year,
but
if,
if
there's
a
partnership
that
we
can
work
to
make
that
money
go
further,
we
like
to
do
that.
Okay,
thank.
K
Yes,
I
just
want
to
read
or
reiterate
something
that
we
discussed
earlier
in
our
3
on
1,
and
you
made
a
distinction
between
resurfacing
versus
preservation
and
I.
Just
want
to
make
that
that
noted
that
what
may
look
like
resurfacing
to
a
constituent
is
actually
the
preservation
process
when
a
road
is
is
in
pretty
good
condition
and
the
preservation
extends
its
life
in
a
cheaper
way,
and
sometimes
when
people
see
that
happening,
they
wonder
like.
Why
are
you
resurfacing
this
very
nice
loading
Street?
Yes,.
D
K
You
also
take
into
account
other
factors.
In
other
words,
this
isn't
just
that
a
computer
tells
you
what
to
do,
but
you're,
looking
at
a
more
holistic
approach
to
assessing
and
evaluating
the
state
of
the
city,
streets
and
and
I
appreciate
that,
including
waiting
if
there
are
projects
ready
to
happen
or
packaging,
so
you're
doing
a
whole
bunch
of
streets
at
a
time.
Thank
you
for
adding
Clinton
to
the
list,
because
that
is
in
need,
and
many
of
my
constituents
are
really
happy
about
that.
K
And
then
the
only
other
thing
I
want
to
comment
on
is
going
forward.
I
think
it's
really
hopeful
that
there
will
be
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
have
comment.
There
are
a
lot
of
very
ancient
alleys
in
my
ward,
so
I
appreciate
that
you're
working
to
find
alternatives
that
are
affordable
to
make
those
alleys
accessible
and
finally,
when
things
settle,
I
will
be
in
touch
with
you
to
schedule
an
appointment
to
talk
about
the
brick
streets
plan
so
that
we
can
figure
out
a
way
to
look
at
how
that
fits
into
the
hole.
L
Ancient
alleys
I
think
that's
gonna,
be
the
name
of
my
next
band
Kevin.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
work
on
this
really
appreciate.
You
know
the
transparency
and
and
the
explanation
to
how
this
came
together.
I
want
to
echo
Scott's
comments
that
it
would
be
good
to
put
this
out
into
the
public
and
get
some
feedback
before
we
move
forward
on
it.
I
shared
with
you
a
question
via
email
and
just
out
of
curiosity,
we
took
the
projected
cost
for
each
of
these.
L
These
projects,
and
actually
jeff
kraebel,
is
better
at
math
than
I
am,
and
so
we
just
crunch
these
numbers
just
to
see
how
they
did
break
down
by
Ward.
Out
of
curiosity
and
Ward
8,
it
looked
like
like
26%
of
the
funding
over
the
next
two
or
the
two
years
that
we're
talking
about
would
be
spent
in
Ward,
8
and
I.
Just
am
curious,
like
so
I
know
that
the
computer
system
doesn't
decide
based
on
wards,
but
I'm
curious
about
whether
there
is
something
about
the
projects
in
that
Ward.
L
D
I,
don't
have
a
good
answer
for
that,
because
you
know
we
didn't
really
as
we
prepared
this
like
I
said
we
didn't
consider
the
ward
boundary,
so
we
just
looked
at
the
city
as
a
whole.
So
why
that
why?
That
fell?
That
way?
I
can't
really
say
it's
a
possible
Hershey
Road
or
some
of
the
major
arterials
that
that
can
factor
in
absolutely
and
yeah,
because
we
do
have
you
know
the
the
bigger
roads
that
yeah.
G
A
H
Why
the
cost
of
mobilization
right?
So
could
you
explain
a
little
bit
for
the
public
why
it
makes
more
sense,
because
for
some
folks
you
know
they
might
see
that
yes,
as
actually
a
cluster
of
streets
in
one
particular
area,
but
because
of
mobilization,
that's
probably
the
most
efficient
way
for
us
to
do
that
and
get
the
most
bang
for
our
buck.
So
could
you
kind
of
expand
on
that
a
little
bit?
Yes,.
D
D
D
You
know
the
the
the
for,
like
the
you
know,
street
resurfacing
a
lot
of
times
we
figure
in
the
neighborhood
of
thirty
to
forty
five
dollars,
a
square
yard
for
the
work
in
its
entirety.
But
just
for
you
know
like
milling
and
resurfacing,
you
know
we
could
possibly
see
you
know
ten
ten
to
twenty
percent
price
reductions
by
grouping
stuff
together,
as
opposed
to
having
them
move
all
over
Bloomington
and
having
to
pick
up
equipment
and
crew,
and
you
know
even
moving
a
few
blocks.
D
A
Okay,
just
as
I'm
I'm
balling
it
I,
it
seems
like
it's
not
just
Hershey,
but
it's
right,
astride,
which
would
be
fairly
costly,
I
guess
as
well,
and
just
the
record
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
fact.
I
live
right
near
there
and
I'm
not
going
to
be
living
every
long
but
anyway,
but
that's
interesting.
Thank
you
for
kind
of
doing
that
kind
of
analysis.
It's
important
for
us
to
see
us
to
see.
You
know
the
redistributed
effects
of
policies
that
were
that
were
passing
any
of
the
our
councilmember
kraebel
mathy
bray
questions.
C
This
can
break
no
questions.
Just
thank
you
to
the
director
for
walking
us
through
the
very
logical
approach,
as
well
as
bringing
a
financially
responsible
approach
to
to
our
streets
and
and
the
requests
of
our
many
constituents
to
to
take
care
of
our
streets
and
sidewalks.
So
thank
you
for
your
talent
and
the
tone
of
your
team's
and
bringing
them
to
us.
G
Ahead,
ine,
sorry
about
that.
No
that's
fine
well
I
was
gonna,
say
pretty
much
the
exact
same
thing
that
Kim
did
that
I
appreciate
the
new
methodology
that
we're
using
here.
It's
we're
basically
