A
And
we'll
start
with
the
pledge
of
allegiance,
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
united
states
of
america
and
to
the
republic
for
which
it
stands.
One
nation,
under
god,
indivisible
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all.
If
we
have
a
a
moment
of
silence
and
if
we
could
particularly
dedicate
our
moment
of
silence
it
somewhere.
Along
of
our
thoughts
to
former
mayor
rich
buchanan,.
A
Thank
you
very
much
at
this
point.
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
mr
gleason
for
a
covet
19
update,
tim.
C
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
A
quick
update
over
92
000
doses
of
the
vaccine
have
been
administered
here
in
mclean
county
from
all
sources.
C
The
positive
cases
continue
to
rise,
164
new
cases
since
friday,
so
please
continue
to
be
following
the
public
safety
protocols
and
then
also
as
camille
rodriguez
county
administrator,
always
shares
before
our
council
meetings,
and
these
comments.
How
appreciative
the
county
is
that
the
city
is
providing
the
arena
as
a
vaccination
site.
Thank
you.
A
A
Excuse
me
now
we
have
recognitions
and
appointments
and
our
first
recognition
is
one
in
memory
of
a
wonderful
public
servant
and
we
do
have
judy
b
cannon
here,
the
former
first
lady
of
bloomington
and
judy
how
you
doing
judy.
Can
you
hear
us?
A
Thank
you.
You
can
unmute
yourself
because
anything,
you
want
to
say:
we'd
be
honored
to
have
you
comment,
but
there's
a
proclamation
member
of
frankly,
a
a
good
friend,
a
valued
colleague,
an
incredible
activist
who
we
will
really
miss,
and
that
is
rich
buchanan.
A
I'm
sorry,
whereas
the
city
reflects
on
the
life
and
accomplishments
of
former
mayor,
richard
buchanan,
who
passed
away
on
tuesday
march
30th,
2021
and
whereas
rich
is
fondly
remembered
for
his
community
service
guiding
our
city
as
mayor
from
1977
to
1985,
serving
on
the
city
council
for
two
terms
and
on
the
liquor
commission
for
more
than
three
decades,
whereas
through
his
astute
gift
for
listening
to
all
sides,
he
made
p
people
feel
included
and
heard,
even
if
they
were
on
opposing
sides
and
whereas
his
love
for
the
community
was
shown
through
his
presence,
support
of
business
and
his
energy
for
helping
others.
A
And
whereas
rich
and
his
wife
judy
were
honored
in
2019
as
mclean
county
history
makers
by
the
mclean
county
museum
of
history
and
whereas
even
as
rich
battled,
alzheimer's,
his
words
inspire
us
quote:
I
am
in
a
battle
with
alzheimer's.
There
is
no
cure,
I'm
going
to
lose
this
battle,
but
I've
already
won
the
war
unquote
and
whereas
we
extend
our
deepest
condolences
to
the
buchanan
family
and
we're
thankful
for
his
contributions
to
the
city
of
bloomington
and
now.
D
D
We
appreciate
it
and
thank
you
for
remembering.
A
And
judy,
thank
you,
we're
sending
hugs
and
kisses
to
you
as
well.
Thank
you.
We
really
appreciate
much
appreciate
rich
if
we
can
give
them
a
special
round
of
applause.
Thank
you
and
thank
you
judy
for
all
you've
done
and
we
appreciated
all
of
what
the
entire
buchanan
family
has
done
and
meant
to
our
community.
Thank
you.
A
A
We
have
in
our
community,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
I
terry
redder
made
of
the
city
of
bloomington
to
hereby
proclaim
april
18th
to
the
24th
2021
as
medical
laboratory
professionals
week
in
the
city
of
bloomington,
and
urge
you
to
join
in
the
city
in
commending
all
those
who
play
a
vital
role
in
our
health
care
delivery
system.
Thank
you
and
madam
clerk.
We
do
have
some
appointments
that
were
approved
in
the
last
council
meeting
to
announce.
B
A
B
Thank
you.
We
have
several
people
who
emailed
public
comment.
I
can
read
those
names
first,
that
was
laura
pritz,
william
prado,
javelin,
creel,
jessica
brooks
and
those
were
provided
to
council
earlier.
I
also
received
one
public
comment
but
did
not
receive
a
response
back
to
the
two
emails
that
I
sent
asking
for
a
name
so
just
wanted
to
mention
that
and
the
only
person
that
we
have
live
to
speak
tonight
is
tyson
moore,
tyson.
A
E
E
2
to
facilitate
a
developer
building
a
neighborhood
of
manufactured
homes.
I've
spoken
to
alderwoman
bowling
about
this,
since
it's
her
ward,
and
I
understand
that
she's
planning
to
prompt
some
discussion
on
the
topic,
and
so
I'm
speaking
here
to
provide
some
context
on
our
deliberations
at
plant
at
planning,
as
with
all
boards
and
commissions.
Typically,
we
prefer.
E
In
short,
the
homeowners
will
not
own
the
land,
they
will
just
rent
the
land
under
their
buildings,
which
creates
some
risk
for
them.
This
arrangement
helps
reduce
the
cost
of
the
property
and
could
make
it
more
affordable
for
them.
However,
there's
also
a
potential
downside.
If
something
changes
about
the
property,
for
example,
the
land
rent
costs,
the
land
rent
cost
increases.
E
If
the
landowner
does
is
not
responsive
to
their
needs,
if
neighboring
properties
are
not
maintained,
and
so
on,
the
solutions
they're
very
limited,
you
can't
move
a
manufactured
home,
it's
prohibitedly,
expensive,
the
market
for
use
manufactured
homes
is
not
conducive
to
selling
them,
so
the
homeowner
kind
of
becomes
trapped
in
a
bad
situation
with
no
way
out,
and
you
can
kind
of
think
of
it
like
if
you
were
living
in
a
dingy
apartment
with
a
bad
landlord.
But
the
only
way
you
could
move
out
is.
E
If
you
found
someone
else
to
take
over
your
apartment,
you
could
be
kind
of
stuck.
So
ultimately,
the
commission
voted
in
favor
of
allowing
this
change,
as
this
type
of
consideration
seemed
outside
of
the
scope
of
what
we
were
called
to
do
and
I'm
personally
hesitant
to
have
the
city
prevent
two
willing
parties
from
entering
into
a
financial
agreement,
even
if
one
side
might
suffer
from
it.
E
I
also
did
not
get
any
sense
from
the
developer
that
they
were
approaching
the
project
with
the
intention
of
taking
advantage
of
anyone,
but
if
it
does
raise
some
important
questions
about
the
types
of
housing
we'd
like
to
see
constructed
in
the
city,
and
if
the
council
would
like
to
take
the
opportunity
to
reflect
on
that
topic
of
manufactured
homes
and
ultimately
decide
to
reverse
the
decision
of
the
planning
commission,
I
wouldn't
find
that
inappropriate
and
I
don't
believe
the
commission
would
feel
undermined
at
all.
E
A
A
Ward:
okay,
thanks
molly
councilmember
crabill
did
you
have
something
you
need
to
unmute
yourself,
jeff.
A
As
in
david,
okay,
all
right
do
we
have
any
other
anything
else
to
remove
from
the
consent
agenda.
Council,
member
bolin.
A
Y
and
double
a
councilman
of
bolin,
okay,
anything
else,
councilmember
miller,
wombway.
A
You
need
to
unmute
yourself.
Yes,
a
z,
pardon
me,
z,.
A
Okay,
all
right!
Well,
that's
quite
a
few
all
right
at
this
point.
Do
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
as
presented
with
the
exceptions
of
item
8
w,
as
in
ward
8
d,
as
in
david
8
y
and
double
a
and
8
z,
so
those
are
a
total
of
five
differences
moved
by
council
member
matthew.
Is
there
a
second
I'll.
A
By
several
seconds,
councilmember
emig-
I
I
saw
the
first
at
this
point.
I
don't
see
any
discussion,
madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
role
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
as
presented
with
the
exceptions
of
the
items
that
we
mentioned.
C
J
J
H
A
Hey,
thank
you
very
much.
I'm
going
to
take
these
in
the
items
in
which
excuse
me
in
the
order
in
which
they
were
pulled.
I'm
gonna
turn
to
council
member
alderwoman
ward,
there's
item
w.
Molly
you've
got
the
floor.
G
G
There
there's
been
some
interest
in
my
ward,
in
particular,
about
about
using
that
money
in
other
ways,
potentially
with
regard
to
accessibility
issues,
and
I
just
would
like
to
have
a
little
bit
of
time
to
talk
that
through
and
see
what
the
possibilities
are
and
then
have
us,
take
it
up
and
discuss
it
in
a
couple
of
weeks.
A
K
L
L
H
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
so
this
that
will
be
tabled
just
to
make
the
record
clear
to
a
time
certain
which
is
two
weeks
from
this
evening.
We're
going
to
move
on
to
item
eight
d
and
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
councilmember
crabill
jeff.
H
H
A
H
Yes,
mayor,
if
I
could
start
please
and-
and
I
think
everybody
knows
the
situation,
I
hope
they
do
and
I'll
just
kind
of
explain
it
and
show
my
reason.
My
reasoning
there
was
an
august
4th
meeting
of
the
pscrb.
H
The
background
of
that
is
that
the
mayor
had
given
the
board
a
list
of
names
to
recommend
a
new
member
and
the
board
members
were
discussing
their
choices
of
who,
who
they
would
recommend.
H
Miss
fish
spoke
and
said,
quote
the
only
reason
I
would
I
don't
know
the
person,
but
because
this
board
has
to
continue
to
be
a
bridge
between
police,
community
stakeholders
and
we
have
to
constantly,
you
know,
be
very
transparent
and
I
won't
say
the
name.
Mr
hasb
blm
black
lives
matter,
science
in
his
yard.
H
So
for
that
reason
I
would
say
no
at
this
time
mr
taylor,
another
board
member,
asked
her
to
repeat
that
and
she
added
that
this
person,
who
is
a
black
man,
had
a
black
lives
matter
signage
in
his
yard,
which
at
this
point
we're
trying
to
stay
as
a
bridge.
H
So
I
don't
want
to
put
controversy
in
us
trying
to
help,
and
so
you
know
certainly
she's
entitled
to
her
opinion,
but
I
think
someone
with
that
opinion
shouldn't
serve
on
a
commission
that
is
supposed
to
represent
the
community
in
its
interactions
with
the
police,
so
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
A
Okay,
any
other
comments,
councilmember
bray.
M
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
and
I'll.
Just
simply
say
that
I
I
think
we
all
know
this
particular
community
member
serena
fish.
She
comes
to
us
frequently.
We
know
her
heart,
we
know
the
heart
she
has
for
community
and
the
love
that
she
has
for
others.
She
doesn't
engage
in
hate
speech
and
she
does
act
as
a
bridge,
so
I
would
say
that
that
this
I
guess
this
method
of
operating
by
council
member
crabill.
I
I
reject
the
notion
that
he
wasn't
able
to
reach
you
mayor.
M
M
So
in
this
regard,
we
have
a
valuable
member
of
our
community
who
has
served,
who
wants
to
continue
to
serve,
who
could
bring
institutional
knowledge
and
continued,
and-
and
you
continue
in
this
role
in
a
manner
that
has
been
exemplary
in
service-
and
I
find
this
kind
of
I
find
this
somewhat
disingenuous,
because
we
have
a
community
member
whose
agenda
doesn't
align
with
council
member
craig
bills,
so
I
will
be
supporting
this
I'll,
be
voting
no
to
this
motion.
Thank
you.
A
Just
just
to
clarify,
as
because
I
there
may
be
some
miscommunication
jeff
councilman
crabill
did
contact
me
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
asked
me
about
the
timetable
of
this
and
what
had
happened,
and
I
did
dig
into
this.
I
did
communicate
with
amy
overton
and
I
apparently
did
give
the
okay
without
specifically
mentioning
or
going
through,
the
details
of
who
was
being
appointed
at
that
point,
because
I
didn't
realize
what
the
circumstances
were
so
and
then
councilman
crabble
did
reach
out
to
me
today.
So
I
think
there
was.
A
M
A
H
Go
ahead
sure
you
know,
I
don't
know
beyond
what
you
know
what
she
said,
but
I
would
interpret
it
as
her,
not
believing
that
somebody.
You
know
that
supports
black
lives
matter
is
somebody
that's
appropriate
to
to
be
on
the
board.
L
A
J
M
A
Okay,
the
motion
fails
six
to
three
is
there
at
this
point,
I
would
accept
a
contrary
motion
or
not
contrary,
but
another
motion
excuse
me.
A
I
A
Okay,
is
there
a
second
one,
second,
by
councilmember
bray
at
this
point,
madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
roll-
and
this
is
to
approve
all
of
the
appointments-
not
just
serena
fish.
C
N
J
H
A
A
I'm
sorry
I
didn't
ask
for
the
nays
to
be
announced.
There
was
one
day
council,
member
carrillo.
Thank
you
at
this
point.
We
we
moved
to
council
member
bowling,
I'm
going
to
turn
the
floor
over
to
in
just
a
second.
She
is
pulling
item
8
y
and
8
a
a
related
to
the
development
that
we'd
heard
in
public
comment.
Donna
go
ahead.
I
I
still
have
some
well
I've
gotten
a
lot
of
different
feedback
from
various
people
and
I
still
am
conflicted
with
a
making
a
final
decision,
and
I
would
like
to
draw
on
the
collective
wisdom
of
the
council
and
have
a
more
extensive
conversation,
and
I
don't
I
don't
want
to
waste
the
time
now,
since
it's
on
the
consent
agenda.
So.
A
I
Like
to
make
a
motion
to
postpone
until
the
next
meeting
to.
A
Again
to
time
certain
two
weeks
from
this
evening,
there's
a
second
by
council
member
bray.
Any
discussion
on
that
motion
cnn,
madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
roll.
B
And
just
to
clarify,
we
are
tabling
eight.
I
know
eight.
C
J
J
M
A
Thank
you
very
much,
no
needs
to
announce.
Madam
clerk.
We
move
to
item
eight
z
as
in
zoo
and
I'm
gonna
turn
this
over
to
councilmember
miller,
wombway.
O
Okay,
sorry,
so,
as
I
stated
previously,
you
know,
residents
in
the
area
expressed
concern
about
the
proposed
zoning
of
rezoning
to
r3a,
but
they
were
open
to
r2
zoning
and
when
we
tabled
this
item
previously,
it
was
with
the
hope
that
a
solution
could
be
worked
out
and
we
would
see
a
modified
proposal.
A
H
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah.
I
would
I
would
vote
in
favor
of
this
and
the
reason
I
would
I've
listened
to
both
both
public
hearings
in
front
of
the
planning
commission.
H
H
Is
there
will?
I
know
people
have
talked
about
the
lack
of
a
park.
I
know
they're
building
a
park
in
that
area,
and-
and
so
I
know,
we've
done
similar
zoning
changes.
There
was
a
zoning
change.
We
did
at
harvest
point
and
also
at
the
grove,
there's
not
been
no
evidence
that
this
would
decrease
property
values
and
actually
traffic
would
be
less
than
a
residential
development,
even
an
apartment,
complex,
and
what
you
know
then
than
any
business
type
of
development
that's
allowed
in
b1.
H
This
is
just
zoning
we
can.
The
developer
will
have
to
come
back
to
the
planning
commission
for
final
approval
for
layout
design
density.
I
also
want
to
note
that
you
know
this
is
a
minority-owned
business.
This
developer,
he
owns
other
businesses
in
the
community.
H
He
served
as
past
president
of
the
mclean
county
india
association
and
serves
on
the
board
of
directors
for
the
chamber
of
commerce
and.
A
Okay,
anything
else
as
a
comment
before
we
vote
councilmember
bray.
M
M
Who
is
seeking
to
have
a
deviation
from
that
we've
asked
for
community
conversation
that
has
not
occurred
to
the
satisfaction
of
the
sitting
alderman
in
regards
to
his
constituents
that
are
directly
affected
by
this
change,
and
you
know
folks
rely
on
that
zoning
when
they
make
one
of
the
biggest
investment
decisions
that
they
make
in
their
lives,
which
is
purchase
of
a
home,
and
so
the
idea
that
we
have
a
developer.
M
That's
not
following
the
zoning
and
in
addition
to
that,
has
not
followed
through
with
the
community
conversations
that
were
requested
and
then
finally
is
seeking
a
zoning
which
does
not
align
with
what
he
says
he's
going
to
build
if,
in
fact,
he's
going
to
build
townhouses.
That
is
the
zoning
he
should
seek.
The
zoning
he's
seeking
here.
R3
is
apartment
building,
and
so,
therefore,
that
does
is
not
even
a
match
to
what
he
purports
to
wish
to
build.
So
for
all
these
reasons,
I'll
be
voting
now.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
All
right
at
this
point,
these
are
the
these
are
definitely
kinds
of
that.
We
see
and
obviously
also
in
ward,
two
and
sometimes
as
we,
those
of
us
have
been
on
the
council
for
a
while,
certainly
know
that
sometimes
there
are
legitimate
concerns.
Sometimes
there
are
concerns
that
may
be
overstated.
The
thing
that
we
don't
want
to
do
is
to,
I
would
say,
urge
the
council,
generally
speaking,
to
overreact
to
things.
If
it's,
because
people
who
don't
fit
a
particular
economic
class
might
move
within
their
particular
realm.
A
P
Thank
you
mayor.
I
think
you
really
nailed
it.
That's
that's
exactly
what
I
was
going
to
raise,
so
I
won't
spend
more
time
on
it.
I
just
would
like
council
member
mulamboy
to
restate
his
his
motion
so
that
the
motion
is
to
reject
right
or
to
deny
the
application
so
voting.
A
Okay,
because
we
one
of
the
things
that
we
do
want
to
do,
irrespective
of
this
issue
or
the
issue
in
ward
2,
but
is
clearly,
we
have
gotten
national
recognition
for
our
progress
and
affordability
of
our
housing
and
affordability
of
our
housing,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
don't
need
more
affordable
housing
in
our
community
for
people
who
have
not,
who
do
not
have
the
ability
to
pay.
A
So,
regardless
of
that,
madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
roll?
Oh,
I
still
have
two
hands
up.
Oh
I'm
sorry,
three
hands
three
hands:
council
member
emig.
I
see
yours
and
council
member
painter
and
then
we
will
go
back
to
council.
Oh
excuse
me,
this
is
a
different
word.
Okay,
in
this
order,
start
with
your
julie
and
then
we'll.
N
All
right
I'll
I'll
be
quick.
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
the
planning
commission
has
heard
this
now
a
couple
of
times
and
by
and
large,
they
think
that
the
rezoning
does
make
good
sense
for
the
city
and
the
findings
of
fact
stand
and
the
concerns
that
were
raised
were
discussed
considerably
and
it
was
determined
that
it,
the
rezoning
that
is
being
proposed,
is
appropriate.
N
A
You
thank
you
next,
then,
council,
member
painter
and
then
bolan.
L
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
the
people
that
live
in
that
area
are
livid
about
this,
and
at
no
point
in
time
was
it
ever
stated
that
this
is
going
to
be
affordable,
housing,
it's
going
to
be
expensive
apartments,
so
I
just
don't
buy
into
the
argument
that
people
are
saying
that
we
need
to
have
more,
affordable
housing
here,
because
it's
not
going
to
be
affordable
anyway.
A
Except
just
to
clarify
all
the
one
pain
I
was,
I
was
trying
to
make
that
at
a
500
foot
point
not
necessarily
for
this
specific
particular
project.
I
haven't
done
a
deep
dive
into
this,
but
very
often
my
experience
has
been
again.
I
don't
know
the
details
of
this.
In
terms
of
I
haven't
spoken
to
people
on
the
ground
at
length.
A
Sometimes
that
is
the
reaction,
and
we've
certainly
had
that,
not
just
in
many
of
our
awards
where
people
may
react
to
something
but
you're,
probably
right,
it's
hard
to
imagine
that
something
would
be
inexpensive,
affordable,
housing,
perhaps
at
that
location,
council,
member
bolin.
I
A
I
apologize
councilman
bolton.
That
was
absolutely
not
my
intention
I
was
talking
about.
I
was
talking
about
the
broader
issue
and
I
was
saying
that
these
are
two
examples
of
things
where
there
may
be
some
opposition
that
are
based
on
things
we've
seen
those
in
the
past.
That's.
I
A
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Obviously,.
A
I
just
I
was
muted
sorry,
we
all
take
each
other
words,
and
I
appreciate
that
and
I
apologize
that
was
not
my
intention.
I
was
talking
about
the
broader
issue
and
we
deal
with
these
things
all
the
time.
In
fact,
when
I
go
to
the
u.s
conference
of
mayors,
the
and
maboka
is
going
to
be.
You
know
privy
to
all
this
quite
shortly.
A
There
are
constantly
issues
of
developments
that
sometimes
people
don't
always
understand
the
nature
of
it,
because
there
may
be
a
visceral
reaction.
I'm
not
saying
that
that's
the
case
here,
but
those
are
at
least
things
for
us
to
keep
in
mind
as
we're
making
these
kinds
of
decisions,
and
obviously
you
did
not
say
that
you
oppose
it
just
for
the
record
to
make
it
clear
council
member
bowling.
It
was
a
a
motion
to
defer
to
the
next
council
meeting
again.
That
was
not
my
intention
and
I
apologize
any
misinterpretation
of
that.
A
K
N
H
A
A
Okay
at
this
point,
though,
then
we
are
in
the
quandary
where
we
have
defeated
something.
Do
we
have
a
positive
motion
moved
by
council
member
matthew
and
second
by
council
member
carrillo?
M
Yes
mayor,
so
I'd
like
to
understand
what
it
means
that
someone
has,
I
guess
received,
is
going
to
receive
approval
for
overzoning
their
project,
so,
for
instance,
there
it's
my
understanding
that
people
are
going
to
vote
yes,
because
they
believe
that
there's
only
going
to
be
a
townhouse
as
presented
a
townhouse
development
when
the
actual
request
for
the
zoning
is
overzoning,
it's
r3,
which
is
apartments
so
I'd
like
for
jeff
jurgens,
to
inform
us
what
does
that
mean
to
us
as
a
community
in
understanding
how
you
connect
the
dots
now
going
forward.
A
Q
Yeah,
so
so,
once
you
zone
something
the
zoning
any
any
use
within
that
zoning
district
is
allowed,
and
I
I
know
that
apartments
are
allowed
in
r3.
I
I'm
not
sure
if
townhomes
are
allowed,
that's
something
I
think
melissa's
here
she
could
talk
to
probably
better
than
I
could
as
to
all
of
the
different
uses,
but
once
you
zone
something,
then
any
use
within
that
zoning
district
is
permissible.
A
Councilmember
middleway.
A
L
A
O
Okay,
so
this
is
a
question
for
jeff
as
well,
so
what
do
we
make
then
of
the
developers?
I
guess
I
would
say
assertions
that
he
would
only
build
town
homes.
A
Q
No,
I
mean
what
so
once
once
the
zoning
is
granted
any
use
within
there
is
is
permissible
unless
they're
seeking
a
special
use,
or
something
like
that.
I
I
do
think
there
are.
You
know
they
you've
talked
about
plans
that
will
eventually
be
submitted
and
different
things
like
that,
but
as
far
as,
as
far
as
the
uses
within
a
zoning
district,
though
any
use
is
permissible.
A
Do
we
have
do
we
have
any
jeff?
Do
we
have
any
reason
to
believe
that
that,
in
spite
of
the
fact
that
this
person
that
the
developer
is
asking
to
build
townhouses
that
there's
an
apartment
project,
that's.
A
Yep
yeah
councilmember
crabill
and
then
we'll
go
ahead
and
vote.
I
think
that's
the
last
hand.
I
have.
A
J
L
A
Think
if
you
could
answer
that,
I
guess
the
general
question
do
we
have
any
reason
to
believe
that
they're
I
mean
the
developer
is
presenting
to
us
a
a
townhouse
project
and
that's
the
reason
why
there's
a
a
request
for
rezone
do
we
have
any
reason
to
believe
that
there
would
be
apartments.
J
Not
to
my
knowledge,
to
my
knowledge,
he
is
stating
that
he
is
plans
to
build
a
single-family
attached,
housing.
H
Okay
and
and
and
mayor,
if
I
could
ask
a
question
to
melissa:
go
ahead:
she's
online,
yeah
melissa!
If
you
can
answer
what
is
the
benefit
then,
to
obtaining
an
r3a
zoning
versus
an
r2
in
in
this
situation?
Doesn't
it
have
to
do
with
buffer?
I'm
not
saying
the
right
word
right.
You
understand
what
I'm
saying.
J
H
J
H
The
r3a
is
the
town.
Homes
do
not
have
to
be
pre-approved.
H
A
B
A
J
G
H
A
Thank
you
very
much
at
this
point,
then
we
move
to
our
regular
agenda
and
the
first
item
on
our
regular
agenda
is
consideration
and
action
on
the
adoption
of
the
fiscal
year,
2022
budget
and
appropriation
ordinance
as
requested
by
the
finance
department,
and
we
start
with
a
presentation,
and
then
we
have
a
council
discussion
and
motion
or
motions
after
that,
we're
going
to
start
with
scott
rathman.
I'm
going
to
start,
though,
turn
it
over
to
our
city
manager,
mr
gleason,
who
will
introduce
the
the
discussion
and
provide
some
initial
remarks.
Mr
gleason.
C
C
Obviously,
scott
and
I
start
the
budget
process
honestly,
you
know
the
very
week
that
it
goes
into
effect,
so
that
first
week
of
may
we're
already
talking
about
fy
23,
that's
upcoming,
but
the
public
conversation
occurred
a
little
bit
sooner.
We
also
provided
videos.
We
had
the
budget
101
series
that
scott
and
chris
tamerlan,
the
budget
manager
provided,
and
then
videos
are
provided
updates.
You
know
that
coincided
with
the
different
steps
that
were
presented
to
council
at
the
council
meetings
as
well.
C
Something
else
that
I
want
to
share
is
while
we're
up
about
60
million
dollars
in
capital
projects,
the
operating
budget
is
actually
down
a
little
bit
more
than
one
percent,
and
what
that
means
is
the
true
operating
costs
for
the
organization
itself
staff.
You
know
different
things
like
that.
We're
actually
down
to
109
million
dollars
of
that
260
million.
I'm
sorry,
250
million
dollar
budget-
that's
before
council
tonight,
so
we
we
find
a
way
to
live
within.
Our
means,
I
guess,
is
what
I'm
sharing
so
government
is
not
getting
bigger.
C
The
60
million
dollar
increase
is
for
capital
projects.
A
lot
of
that
is
infrastructure
things
for
economic
development,
and
it's
something
that
I
think
this
council
has
put
a
lot
of
work
into.
I
know
staff
has
and
excited
to
bring
that
before
council
here
in
a
little
bit
and
then
also
you'll
notice
that
a
9b
item
that
is
for
alderwoman
emig
in
her
full-time
capacity
at
the
mclean
county
museum
of
history,
she
holds
the
executive
director
position
there.
Well,
we
donate
forty
five
thousand
dollars.
C
We
contribute
rather
forty
five
thousand
dollars
to
fund
portions
of
that
operation.
So
rather
than
ask
alderwoman
evening
to
abstain
from
the
entire
fy
22
budget,
we've
put
this
in
a
way
that
9a
will
adopt
everything,
except
for
that
45
dollar
line
item.
That
will
be
the
next
item
that
comes
before
council,
then
we'll
ask
older
woman
emig
to
abstain,
but
definitely
wanted
her
to
be
a
part
of
this.
It's
very
important
and
very
exciting.
C
I
think
scott,
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
for
your
last
presentation
on
fy22.
Take
it
away
and
nice
job.
F
Thank
you,
sir.
I'm
going
to
try
not
to
repeat
too
much
what
the
scene
manager
just
said,
but
some
of
it
does
bear
repeating,
but
I'm
pleased
to
present
the
fy
22
budget
tonight
for
adoption.
This
is
a
culmination
of
six
months
or
more
of
efforts
by
staff
council
community.
You
know
countless
hours
of
work.
Research,
discussion
review
has
gone
into
this.
F
I'm
proud
of
our
staff,
proud
of
everyone.
That's
had
input
into
this.
A
lot
of
challenges
presented
themselves
to
us,
the
least
of
which
is
not
covet.
You
know
everything
being
done
virtually
and
the
revenue
challenges
that
we
had
we've
rebounded
nicely
during
the
year,
but
we
still
thought
it
was
a
good
thing
to
be
cautious
going
into
this
budget.
As
tim
mentioned,
it's
it's
it's
a
record-setting
budget
of
252
million,
but
it
doesn't
represent
a
growth
in
government.
61
million
of
that
is
for
infrastructure.
F
A
significant
portion
of
that
is
being
paid
from
accumulated
reserve,
so
reserves
have
been
accumulated
over
the
prior
year,
so
we
could
execute
these
projects
in
an
efficient
manner.
You
know
an
example,
being
you
don't
want
to
repair
a
water
line
and
then
do
a
road
and
then
repair
a
water
line
and
have
to
redo
the
road.
So
a
lot
of
planning
goes
into
this,
these
the
execution
of
these
projects.
F
F
F
To
start
off,
we
have
to
explain
the
differences
between
the
proposed
budget,
which
was
200
250.3
million,
and
what
we're
adopting
this
evening
in
total.
So
the
total
budget
has
gone
up
approximately
1.4
million
dollars
between
the
proposed
and
this
final
adoption
being
presented,
and
that
is
attributable
to
the
o'neill
park
and
pool
plan
that
was
approved
on
march
22nd
for
11.7
million
net
of
the
contingency
that
was
around
100
000
11.8
in
the
financial
impact
of
that
member.
So
we
had
10.3
million
dollars
in
the
proposed
budget.
F
We've
increased
that
to
11.7,
so
we've
had
a
net
increase
to
the
overall
budget
between
proposed
and
adopted
of
1.4
million
next
slide,
please
just
recapping
the
totals
this
will
be
the
total
combined
budget
after
we
adopt
the
two
items
for
the
evening,
nearly
252
million
dollars
for
the
city-wide
increase
of
21.4
million.
But
if
you
skip
down
to
the
capital
projects
line,
you
can
see
there's
an
increase
of
20.4
million
over
the
prior
year,
accounting
for
most
of
that
increase.
F
The
general
fund,
109.1
million,
as
the
city
manager
indicated
in
the
introduction-
and
this
is
actually
a
decrease
over
prior
years
of
1.2
million
or
1.1,
and
then
the
last
line
you
can
see
that
we're
still
moving
forward
with
the
effort
to
wean
ourselves
off
the
capital
equipment
lease
and
we
have
600
000
targeted
for
cash
for
equipment
in
the
general
fund.
F
A
few
moments
ago
we
did
determine
it
was
it
was
best
to
enter
2022
with
caution
related
to
residual
impacts
from
covid.
We
took
the
major
tax
revenue
category
categories
down
by
nearly
3.6
million
21
to
22..
F
General
fund
revenues
just
to
highlight
here
that
the
tax
line
that
I
just
referred
to,
the
3.8
million
dollar
decrease
over
prior
year
does
not
match
exactly
to
the
prior,
exhibit
related
to
other
taxes
that
we
include
in
this,
but
overall,
just
a
1.2
million
dollar
decrease
in
the
over
all
general
fund
revenues
and
we've
had
to
bump
up
our
use
of
fund
balance
for
restricted
pension
reserves
to
2.8
million.
F
Most
of
that
due
to
underlying
assumption
changes
for
the
public
safety,
pensions,
the
mortality
rate
tables
and
some
tier
2
benefit
increases
related
to
the
state
consolidation
plan.
Next
slide,
please
general
fund,
but
budget
expenses,
just
a
modest
increases
in
some
categories
decreases
another
overall
decrease
of
1.1
million
dollars
year
over
year.
You
can
see
the
the
line
item,
other
intergovernmental
expense,
and
that's
where
we're
reflecting
the
increase
in
the
public
safety
pensions
next
slide.
Please.
F
Budget
by
a
department,
category
administration
is
legal
finance,
hr,
et
cetera.
Most
of
the
other
categories
are
self-explanatory.
The
layout
of
this
exhibit
shows
the
comparisons
year
over
year,
again,
public
safety,
an
increase
related
to
the
pension
increases
and
the
assumption
changes
all
the
way
down.
You
can
see
that
the
grand
total
is
still
a
net
decrease,
and
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
which
we
went
over
during
the
proposed
budget
is
that
we
have
offsets
to
some
of
these
categories.
F
We
we
describe
the
budgets
in
totals
either
total
revenues
or
total
expenses.
But
when
you
look
at
a
net
budget
for
a
department
and
I'm
going
to
pic
pick
on
parks
here
highlight
parks,
I
should
say
they
have
a
total
overall
budget
of
11.7
million
dollars
targeted
for
fy22.
But
if
you
look
to
the
far
right,
the
net
targeted
expense
budget
for
parks
is
really
6.6
million,
which
you
know
indicates.
F
To
5.2
million
dollars
in
offsetting
revenues
that
come
in
for
the
parks
departments.
You
know
a
significant
component
of
that,
like
the
highlight,
is
bloomington
ice
on
one
of
our
programs
that
actually
sometimes
makes
money
or
breaks
even
next
slide.
Please.
F
This
is
just
a
graphical
depiction
of
the
departments
of
the
previous
slide
next
likely.
F
Moving
on
to
the
citywide
budget
same
exhibit
from
prior
from
the
proposed
other
than
the
increase
related
to
o'neill
pool,
but
to
highlight
the
use
of
fund
balance
for
2022.
You
can
see
it's
34.6
million
of
that
roughly
3
million
of
that
is
related
to
the
general
fund
and
the
pensions.
F
So
really
we
have
about
31
million
dollars
of
fund
balance
of
reserves
being
utilized
for
those
infrastructure
projects.
We've
been
discussing
so
again
accumulated
reserves
going
against
those
infrastructure
projects
on
the
miscellaneous
revenue
line.
That's
where
we
have
a
placeholder
related
to
borrowing
for
o'neill
pull
we've
taken
that
up
from
10.3
to
11.7,
so
you
can
see
that
our
total
revenue
increased
21.4
million
year-over-year
next
slide.
Please.
F
On
city-wide
total
expenses,
I'm
looking
halfway
down
the
exhibit
the
capital
expenditure
line,
increase
of
22.8
million,
we've
reflected
the
increase
in
o'neill
pool.
If
you
look
all
the
way
down
to
the
bottom,
from
the
total
increase
year
over
year,
you
can
see
the
total
increase
is
21.4
million.
Yet
we
have
a
22.8
million
dollar
increase
in
capital
expenditures,
so
you
can
see
again
that
our
infrastructure
spending
and
a
significant
portion
of
being
funded
from
accumulated
reserves
is
accounted
for.
Most
of
the
increase
related
to
the
city-wide
budget.
F
F
Most
of
the
increases
related
to
the
other
funds
you
can
see
in
the
far
right
column
are
related
to
capital
projects,
motor
fuel
tax.
That's
the
state
motor
fuel
tax
fund,
the
capital
funds,
where
we're
targeting
an
o'neill
pool,
that's
gone
up
by
1.4
million
over
proposed
the
only
fun
that's
gone
up,
essentially
not
due
to
projects
material
anyway
is
the
insurance
and
internal
service
funds
and
that's
really
related
to
health
premiums.
F
But
the
comment
I
wanted
to
make
about
that
is:
those
expenses
are
actually
allocated,
then
to
all
the
departments.
So
in
effect
that's
built
into
the
general
fund
and
the
city-wide
budgets
departmental
budgets-
and
you
know
those
have
been
help
holding
pretty
steady.
So
we
we
basically
control
our
costs
and
other
categories
to
offset
these
increases
and
our
health
insurance
next
slide.
Please.
F
This
is
the
capital
projects
detailed
by
fund.
F
I
wanted
to
highlight
a
little
bit
more
information
down
at
the
bottom,
we're
trying
to
direct
the
community
to
where
resources
can
be
found
related
to
all
this
information,
and
we
want
to
highlight
that
in
in
our
budget
books
in
the
second
budget
book,
the
other
funds
and
capital
improvement.
There
is
a
tremendous
amount
of
detail
related
to
capital
projects.
F
There's
there's
summaries
that
just
indicate
the
titles
of
the
projects
and
then
there's
detail
sheets,
and
I
went
over
these
during
the
proposed
budget,
where
there's
pictures
indication
of
if
it's
a
multi-year
project
etc,
just
a
wealth
of
information
to
really
see.
What's
what
kind
of
services
are
going
to
be
provided
to
the
city
in
the
coming
year?
F
This
is
where
we
need
to
break
down
the
total
budget
into
our
two
components
for
the
evening.
So,
as
the
city
manager
mentioned,
you
know,
we
have
supported
the
mclean
county
museum
with
a
tomb
of
about
45
thousand
dollars.
So
we're
going
to
back
that
out
of
this
the
main
adoption
for
this
agenda
item,
so
that
is
paid
out
of
the
general
fund.
So
that's
why
you're
seeing
this
shown
in
two
places,
because
we
typically
highlight
the
city-wide
and
the
general
fund.
So
it's
not
two
times
forty
five
thousand,
it's
just
you
know.
F
F
This
is
a
very
busy
slide,
but
I
wanted
to
include
it
in
the
documentation
just
as
a
resource
for
the
community.
This
lists
all
of
our
29
funds.
The
grade
column
is
total
budgets
for
each
fund.
You
can
see
the
grand
total
at
the
bottom
is
the
same
number.
I
I
just
highlighted
the
251
690
and
this
this
fund
also
or
this
exhibit
also
shows
our
reserve
balances
and
our
projected
reserve
balances
for
the
end
of
2022.
F
F
Our
resources
again,
we
have
a
budget
and
brief
that
we
issue
every
year
this.
This
will
not
come
out
until
after
may.
First,
we
have
to
wait
till
the
property
tax
rates
are
finalized
by
the
county
and
that's
when
the
target
time
frame
is
so
we'll
we'll
have
that
out
available
soon.
F
After
may
1st,
and
then
the
budget
books,
our
target
date
is
to
have
those
available
online
by
may
31st
2021
and
we've,
given
some
examples
here
of
some
of
the
information,
the
pertinent
information,
the
two
books,
so
that
the
community
can
know
where
to
look
for
the
things
that
are
of
interest
to
them
and
then,
as
at
the
bottom
as
well.
Our
is
the
link
to
the
budget
videos
that
hopefully
highlight
some
of
the
background
and
the
details
that
we
put
into
the
budget
next
slide.
Please.
F
So
I
guess
I'd
like
to
you
know
just
take
this
moment.
I
want
to
thank
council
staff,
the
community
for
all
the
countless
hours
that
have
gone
into
you
know
discussing
this,
reviewing
the
budget
putting
it
together.
F
J
A
Second,
by
council,
member
bolin,
and
now
we
of
course
can
can
move
to
our
questions
and
discussion
sessions.
So
we'd
have
a
motion
by
councilmember
wombway
second,
by
council
member
bowling
comments.
Questions
concerns,
I
see
bulk
albums
start
with
you
and
then
councilman,
crabill
and
bray.
H
Thank
you
mayor.
I
want
to
ask
scott
if
we
have
any
idea
at
this
point,
how
much
sales
tax
revenue
we're
receiving
from
the
new
cannabis
dispensary
in
town.
F
Jeff,
I'm
good
since
we
I
have
to
kind
of
like
do
a
little
preload
to
this,
because
it's
it's
one
dispensary,
and
by
indicating
the
sales
tax
revenues
we
could
be
indicating
that
yeah
the
amount
of
money
there.
H
Yeah
yeah,
let
me
ask
it
differently:
just
is
the
sales
tax
revenue
reflected
in
what
you're
showing
us
on
a
monthly
basis,
yet.
F
No
well
on
the
month
before
the
budget,
we
included
we're
getting
a
tax
component
for
the
cannabis
and
we've
included
about
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
the
fy
22
budget.
We
have
not
included
any
of
the
dispensary
sales
tax
revenues
in
the
2022
budget.
When
we
were
entering
going
into
proposed,
we
had
no
indication
at
all
what
the
dollar
amounts
were.
We
just
got
visibility
on
those
basically
last
week,
so
we
we
thought
it
prudent
just
to
leave
those
off.
H
Gotcha
gotcha,
okay
and
I
wanted
to
then
point
out.
You
know.
K
H
Thought
there
was,
you
know,
a
lot
more
public
engagement,
at
least
attempts
of
public
engagement.
You
know
I
was
disappointed
kind
of
at
the
end
when
there
was
no
one
that
made
public
comment
when
we
had
the
public
hearing-
and
I
and
I
want
to
see-
if
maybe
we
can
have
a
discussion
about
do,
do
we
try
to
have
something
about
the
budget
and
bring
the
public
in?
H
You
know
about
the
same
time
that
we
start
talking
about
the
departmental
budget,
so
that
you
know
we
don't
end
up
in
a
situation
where
you
know
we
feel
like
the
budget's
already
kind
of
baked
in
and
it's
gonna
be
hard
to
change
things.
So
I
just
wanted
to.
You
know
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there
and
then
the
final
thing
I
wanted
to
amend
the
motion
that
maboka
made.
H
D
H
A
Just
okay:
first
we'll
see
if
you
get
a
second
and
then
we'll
I
need
to
talk
to
mr
jurgens
about
the
logistics
here,
there's
a
second
by
council
member
carrillo,
mr
jurgens.
At
this
point,
we've
got
a
counter
motion,
so
we
need
to
vote
on
that
first.
Is
that
correct?
Well,.
Q
Yeah
so
councilmember
crabbles
made
a
motion
to
amend
the
motion
on
the
table,
so
you
can
yes,
you
can
now
he
can
explain
it,
but
yes,
you
vote
on
that
motion
if
it
passes
that
becomes
the
motion
on
the
table.
Okay,
approval
of
the
budget
with
that
new
number
for
the
police
funding.
A
So
we
need
to,
we
need
to
make
any,
have
any
debate
and
comments
and
vote
on
that
motion
before
we
continue.
The
amendment
motion.
Correct.
Excuse
me.
No,
we
we've
got
an
amended
motion.
Don't
we
need
to
deal
with
that?
First?
Yes,
that's
what
I
was
saying:
okay,
I'm
sorry!
Okay,
at
this
point,
any
comments
on
the
amended
motion
before
I
ask
for
a
a
roll
call:
let's
see,
council,
member
bray
and
then
craybill
again.
This
is
I've
got
you
in
the
queue
on
the
other
motion.
M
Thank
you
mayor
and
I
will
not
be
supporting
this
amended
motion.
It
goes
back
to
my
comments.
I
was
going
to
say
initially
that
I
I'm
very
supportive
of
this
budget.
It
shows
the
collective
work
not
only
of
of
our
finance
department
but
of
the
community.
M
We
have
regular
discussions
about
the
budget
for
those
who
attend
both
our
council
sessions,
as
well
as
our
three-in-one
meetings,
and
I
just
I
find
that
you
know
very
informative
and
also
giving
us
opportunities
to
shape
the
budget.
So
I
reject
the
notion
that
we
haven't,
nor
has
the
community
had
opportunity
to
weigh
in
and
then,
when
I
look
at
this
concept
of
focusing
in
on
reducing
the
police
budget,
I
look
back
to
I
believe
it
was
our
third
quarter.
M
Our
community
had
a
panel
discussion
which
included
leaders
of
of
our
community
talking
with
our
police
chief,
both
of
normal
and
bloomington
and
others.
We
had
the
naacp
represented
there.
We
had
black
lives
matter
represented
there.
M
We
had
social
services,
folks,
representative,
that
that
discussion
was
moderated
by
a
very
respected
member
of
the
administration
at
isu,
and
I
attended
that,
as
did
other
council
members,
both
virtually
and
personally,
and
the
conclusion
of
that
community
discussion
was
that
there
was
a
good
partnership
between
our
community
groups
and
the
police
and
that,
happily,
the
very
sad
situation
in
some
other
states
and
some
other
communities
is
not
here
in
bloomington
and
finally
out
my
last
comment.
It
goes
like
this.
M
In
fact,
what
we
heard
in
that
community
conversation
for
those
who
participated
and
were
listening
was
that
that
these
groups
that
go
in
and
and
are
come
to
various
calls.
You
know
within
the
community,
they
they
need
the
assistance
and
the
security
that
the
police
officers
are
providing
and
they
found
that
they're
off
their
assistance,
appropriate
and
helpful,
and
so
for
that
reason
I
I
would
not
support
this
amended
motion.
Thank
you.
A
Just
just
to
just
also
to
clarify
just
in
terms
of
the
general
budget
conversation
I
think
council
member
crabill
is
correct,
and
that
is
it.
It
would
be
nice
to
get
more
people
involved
earlier,
because
sometimes
people
don't
realize
I
mean
we
do
on
the
council,
but
people,
often
the
community,
don't
realize
that
a
lot
of
these
decisions
really
need
to
begin
to
just
be
discussed
in
late
summer
and
fall
rather
than
at
the
last
moment.
But
especially
if
we're
thinking
about
as
we
do
have,
we
have
you
know
resource
counselors.
A
We've
got
money
in
the
budget
for
at
risk
youth
summer
job
program,
many
things
that
are
that
are
helpful,
but
we
have
been
all
har
are
not
harmed
but
hindered.
I
suspect
in
discussing
this
because
of
covet
this
year
and
that's
not
a
typical.
This
is,
you
know,
not
obviously
not
a
typical
year.
It's
it's
unprecedented
in
many
ways,
but
that
is
certainly
something
that
in
the
future
the
mayor
elect
and
the
new
council
members
certainly-
and
our
city
manager
I
know-
will
be
all
keeping
these
things
in
mind
before
I
move
on.
A
Do
the
people
who
have
their
hands
up?
Are
you
interested
in
speaking
on
this
amended
amendment
to
the
motion
before
I
call
that
question
council,
okay,
councilman
crabill
has
spoken
already
I'll,
come
back
to
you,
jeff,
so
council
member
bolan?
Did
you
want
to
speak
to
the
amendment.
I
Yes,
I
do
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
about
going
back
to
last
year's
budget.
We
were
well
we're
under
staff
for
the
police.
First
of
all-
and
I
believe
just
recently,
three
or
four
officers
have
applied
and
have
gone
through
the
training,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
cover
those
expenses
and
we're
also
going
to
have
to
cover
expend
expenses
from
the
mandates
coming
out
of
springfield,
which
we
have
no
idea
what
that's
going
to
cost
us.
I
O
So
I
I
won't
support
this
amendment
either,
because
I
I
do
believe
that
the
the
staff
has
taken
quite
a
bit
of
time
to
put
this
together.
They
they
put
together
a
very
thoughtful
process
where
many
of
us
had
an
opportunity
to
to
weigh
in
I.
I
understand
that
sure
you
know
with
provide.
O
There
was
some
some
challenges
as
far
as
resident
involvement,
but
I
do
think
that
many
of
the
aldermen
had
an
opportunity
to
to
provide
feedback
throughout
the
process
and
plus-
I
I
think
you
know,
as
the
staff
put
this
together,
they
were.
They
took
into
consideration
many
things,
including
the
expenses
that
the
the
police
department
would
have
to
incur.
O
So
I
I
don't
think
it
is
appropriate,
particularly
this
late
in
the
game,
to
to
come
up
with
these
kinds
of
these
kinds
of
amendments,
and-
and
I
want
to
say
I
do
I
do
feel
like
you
know-
the
police
department
does
a
does
a
great
job
and
it
would
not
be
a
good
thing
for
us
to
do
at
this
particular
time.
A
Okay,
all
right,
if
there's
no
objection
to
calling
the
question,
let's
go
ahead
and
call
the
question
and
then
mayor,
I
would
object.
You
would
object.
H
A
To
extend
time
you
can
at
this
point
yes
because
at
this
point
we're
almost
out
of
our
entire
time
and
we're
only
focusing
on
this
one
amendment
right
now
and
I
would
just
urge
us
to
to
to
be
surgical.
I
think
every
I
know
we
want
to
say
things
for
the
record,
but
I
think
everybody
probably
knows
how
they're
probably
going
to
be
voting
on
this
anyway,
but
for
the
record
councilman
crabill.
Are
you
as
recommending
a
specific
time?
A
How
about
we
extend
time
to
how
about
10
minutes
on
this
point
and
then
we're
going
to
need
to
extend
our
comments
if
we
have
debate
on
the
actual
final
passage
of
the
budget,
is
that
is
that,
okay,
we're
starting
just
10
minutes
yeah,
so
moved
mayor?
Okay?
Is
there
a
second
to
council
member
craig
bill's
motion,
second
by
council
member
matthew?
Madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
role
to
extend
this
so
we'll
go
from
seven
eleven
to
seven
twenty
one.
J
J
A
Okay,
well,
we
have
10
minutes
on
this
piece
and
I'm
going
to
start
with
well
in
the
order
that
I
see
them
here:
councilmember,
ward,
emig,
bolin
and
painter
and
again
just
recognizing.
We
are
only
talking
about
this
one
amendment.
A
G
I'd
like
to
defer
and
ask
council
member
crayville
to
explain
the
motion
first
and
then
then
I
would
like
to
claim
my
time
back
at
the
end.
Okay,.
A
I'm
sorry
councilmember,
we
don't
that's
not
part
of
our
those
aren't
part
of
our
rules
actually
in
in
the
united
states
congress
and
other
things
they
do
allow
that,
but
we
don't.
We
don't
have
that
as
our
provision.
So
your
your
time
is
yours.
G
My
question
is
this:
I
have
a
question:
can
I
get
an
explanation
of
where
council
member
craybill
is
expecting
to
put
the
money
that
would
be
saved
by
this
cut.
A
Okay,
I
think
that's
a
fair
question
and
I'm
going
to
use
the
chair's
prerogative
to
to
to
jeff
you
have
about
a
minute
or
so
to
clarify
that.
H
H
So
at
that
point
I
think
amendments
to
the
police
budget
can
then
be
made
warranted
after
that
review,
and-
and
so
basically,
this
money
would
go
back
into
the
general
fund
until
you
know
such
time
as
it's
determined
that
additional
money
should
go
into
the
budget
after
we
have
that
that
review
and
discussion.
A
Does
that
answer
your
question?
Councilmember
ward,.
G
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
council
member
emic,
I'm
just
going
in
the
order
in
which
you
mentioned.
N
Yes,
thank
you
for
that.
That
added
comment,
alderman
cravill.
I
think
that
what's
most
important
here,
at
least
to
me
is,
is
that
going
forward.
We
commit
to
having
conversations
about
our
priorities
and
funding
and
and
just
as
importantly,
if
if
we
decide
down
the
road
that
data
warrants
moving
money
from
the
police
budget,
that
that
it
makes
sense
that
we're
investing
it
in
another
way
that
complements
whatever
it
is
that
we
need
to
get
done.
But
I
don't
see
why
we
can't
amend
in
the
future.
N
A
L
Yeah,
thank
you.
You've
had
the
better
part
of
a
year
to
address
this
situation,
and
you
have
two
big
budget
books
that
line
by
line
it
shows
what
the
money
is
doing
and
where
it's
going.
It
has
a
nice
little
narrative.
If
you
don't
want
to
read
line-by-line
budgets
that
goes
along
with
all
of
it.
The
police
would
talk
to
you
anytime
you
wanted
to,
but
you
haven't
done
that
and
to
make
this
motion
at
the
last
minute.
M
A
I
Yes,
I
would
like
to
agree
with
ultimate
older
woman
emeg.
I
do
think
that
this
needs
to
be
given
a
lot
of
thought.
We
did
agree
to
have
a
deeper
conversation.
I
I
would
like
to
have
some
alternatives
in
place
before
we
start
switching
money
around
I'm
very
familiar
with
other
places
that
have
programs,
but
you
need
to
have,
let's
say
the
mental
health
component
in
place.
You
need
to
have
other
components
in
place
before
you
start
shuffling
money
around,
so
I
would
rather
do
that
than
to
make
any
kind
of
decision
tonight.
Thank.
A
You-
and
I
just
just
as
a
last
point
as
we're
we're
going
to
vote
on
this
amendment,
but
I
I
think
that
the
many
in
our
police
department
certainly
the
most
impassioned
speech
that
I've
heard
in
favor
of
o'neill
pool
was
by
our
previous
police
chief,
who
said
please
pass
this.
This
will
make
our
job
easier.
So
it's
not
as
if
that
there
are
not
many
people
in
law
enforcement
that
would
be
interested
in
in
addressing
some
of
those
social
concerns
that
that
are
some
of
the
root
causes
of
crime.
A
At
this
point,
we're
going
to
call
we're
going
to
call
the
question
on
the
motion
by
council
member
carrillo.
Excuse
me
councilmember,
craybill
seconded
by
council
member
cardio.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
roll.
B
Yes,
thank
you.
This
is
the
amended
budget.
Reducing
the
police
department
with
the
numbers
stated
council,
member
matthew,
no
councilmember
bolin,
no
councilmember,
mila
juan
plane.
L
J
J
A
Okay,
now
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
go
back
to
the
the
the
original
motion
that
we
had
that
was
made
by
council
member
milla
wambwe,
and
that
is
to
approve
the
budget.
We
have
actually
talked
about
staff's
work.
We've
talked
about
the
budget
process.
Public
input
are
there
any
other
points
that
we
need
to
make
before
we
vote
on
the
final
budget
council
member
bolin.
I
The
only
thing
that
I
would
like
to
say,
I
came
to
speak
at
public
comment
for
what
four,
maybe
five
years,
and
I
usually
was
the
only
person
that
came
to
the
public
hearing
to
speak
about
the
budget.
So
that's
an
official
thing
that
we
have
to
have,
but
there's
plenty
of
opportunities
to
speak
to
to
their
aldermen
or
to
come
to
the
public
comment
after
they've
reviewed
the
budget
as
after
presented.
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
point.
Thank
you.
K
Wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
scott.
I
thought
that
this
entire
process
was
very
well
done.
The
budget
101
series
of
videos
was
more
informative
and
gave
more
information
in
easy
to
understand
terms
to
people
than
we've
ever
had
before,
and
the
the
ongoing
powerpoint
slides
that
add
just
an
additional
level
of
complexity.
A
Thank
you
very
much
at
this
point.
Councilman
carrillo.
P
P
But
in
spite
of
that,
I
do
want
to
thank
scott
and
his
team
and
all
of
the
staff
really
for
for
all
the
work
that
has
happened
in
the
ways
that
we
continue
to
improve
public
engagement
through
these
processes.
So
really
appreciate
that
thanks.
A
And
obviously
I
I
won't
be
mayor
or
on
the
council,
but
one
thing
that
I
would
certainly
urge
is
that
as
you
go
through
the
next
cycle,
especially
hopefully
post
covid,
that
the
beginning
of
discussion,
involvement
of
trade-offs
and
discussion
amongst
council
members
with
their
constituents
really
begin
as
soon
as
possible
and
actually
in
2015,
we
began
it
on
may
1st.
That
is
the
day
after
the
budget
was
passed,
and
then
we
established
a
budget
task
force
and
and
really
began
that
budget
discussion
as
early
as
possible.
A
So,
madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll
on
the
motion
that
was
made
by
councilmember,
milo
wompway.
J
J
G
A
There's
one
day
to
announce,
madam
clerk
council
member
korea.
Okay,
thank
you.
Very
much
motion
carries
eight
to
one
at
this
point:
we're
going
to
move
to
item
9b,
and
this
is
also
this
is
pulled
out.
I
think
it's
quite
clear,
because
council
member
emig
of
course
worked
for
the
history
museum.
There
was
a
45
000
annual
contribution,
so
this
was
pulled
out
for
separate
consideration
and
at
this
point
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
mr
jer.
A
Well,
mr
gleeson
and
mr
jurgens
for
a
brief
comment
about
this,
and
then
we
have
a
three
minutes:
three
minute
council
discussion
again.
This
is
the
just
the
the
city's
contribution
to
the
mcclane
county
history
museum,
which
also,
of
course,
involves
the
primarily
the
operation
of
the
route,
66
visitors,
center
and
museum.
Mr
gleason,
any
preparatory
comments.
C
Very
few
mayor,
thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
We
thought
that
we
would
provide
corporation
council
jeff
jurgens
an
opportunity
just
to
explain
and
be
open
to
any
questions
on
this
jeff.
Q
Not
really,
I
think
it's
it's
been,
you
know
pretty
well
explained
if
anybody
does
have
any
questions
happy
to
answer
them,
but
just
out
of
an
abundance
of
caution
carve
this
out.
We
could
have
done
this
in
a
way
that
maybe
required
this
expenditure
to
come
back
to
the
council,
but
it,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
thought
it
best
to
just
carve
it
out
of
the
budget,
and
so
that's
why
it's
in
front
of
you
now
separately.
A
Okay,
is
there
are
there
any
questions
of
excuse
me?
I
was
about
to
sneeze
any
questions
of
mr
jurgens
or
a
motion
council
member
craybill.
I
moved.
A
Seeing
that,
madam
crook,
would
you
call
the
role
on
this
mclean
county
history,
museum
motion.
A
L
R
H
A
Function
carries
there
are
no
names
to
announcement
clerk.
We
move
on
to
item
9c
and
there's
a
memo
of
understanding
and
a
resolution
authorizing
us
to
enter
into
this
with
the
town
of
normal
mclean
county
illinois,
state
and
illinois
wesleyan
university
to
support
innovation
throughout
the
region.
We
have
a
brief
presentation
by
our
city
manager
and
deputy
city
manager
and
then
up
to
a
10-minute
council
discussion.
Mr
gleason.
C
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
This
is
an
item
that.
O
Sorry
can
I
sorry
I
need
to
recuse
myself
because
of
isu
okay.
C
Jeff
a
question
across
the
table:
employees
of
wesleyan
and
isu
on
an
item
like
this:
do
they
need
to
recuse
themselves.
Q
That's
been
our
practice
that
that
we
have
employees
can
have
conflicts.
This
I
don't
know,
I'd
have
to
go
back
and
look
at
this
specific
agreement.
I
don't
think
there's.
I
think
this
is
a
cooperation,
I'm
not
sure
if
there's
funding
in
here
or
not,
but
just.
A
To
clarify
with
that,
you
know
jeff.
I
have
never
done
that.
I
have
never
accused
myself,
you
know
unemployed,
illinois
wesleyan
or
have
refused
to
sign
the
documents.
That's
just
at
my
end.
I
think
that,
for
the
reasons
you've
mentioned
and
also
it
it's,
I
don't
know
that
I
have
a
financial
vested
interest
in
it.
I'm
a
tenured
full
professor.
So,
no
matter
what
I
do,
I'm
I'm
sort
of
stuck.
Q
Yeah,
it's
really
a
case-by-case
analysis,
but
certainly
nothing
wrong
with
an
abundance
of
caution
and
and
doing
that.
As
as
to
what
the
council
member
did.
Okay.
C
Q
C
Thank
you
jeff.
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
since
we
had
two
other
employees,
and
I
did
not
think
that
they
needed
to
recuse
themselves
on
this
item.
Real
quick.
This
is
something
that
we
wanted
to
celebrate
as
a
community.
The
deputy
city
manager
has
run
the
lead
on
this
from
the
staff
side
and
then
all
also
alderman
matthew
is
someone.
That's
been
very
engaged
in
this
as
well.
C
I
wanted
to
do
this
as
a
resolution
just
to
shine
some
light
on
the
efforts
that
are
occurring
cooperatively
with
the
different
entities
on
this
topic.
Billy.
S
Thank
you,
mr
manager.
Again,
as
the
manager
said
actually
for
some
time
now,
there
have
been
a
number
of
different
entities
who
have
been
working
together.
Really,
though,
to
build
upon
the
hotbed
of
innovation
that
that
we
we
currently
exist
as-
and
I
don't
think
that's
an
overstatement
of
what's
happening
here.
There
are
a
number
of
different
entities
who
are
here,
as
we
mentioned,
the
universities
and
the
community
colleges
they're.
S
There's
a
lot
of
stuff
happening
as
it
relates
to
technological
innovation.
I
mentioned
the
universities
and
colleges,
including
the
community
colleges.
I
think
there's
been
a
lot
of
news
about
what's
happening
at
rivian.
S
The
insurance
entities
that
exist
here
as
well
are
going
to
play
a
major
role
in,
as
we
start
to
talk
about
self-driving
vehicles
and
innovation
related
to
that
they're,
going
to
play
a
major
role
in
that
as
well
and
again
we
over
the
last
year
as
a
as
a
city
government,
we've
brought
several
items
to
you
related
to
how
we
can
better
use
technology
to
serve
residents
and
meet
them
where
they
are
so
there's
a
lot
happening.
This
memo
memorializes
that
and
provides
a
framework
for
how
we
will
operate
together.
S
It
does
not
represent
a
commitment
of
funding.
It
does
not
represent
our
saying
we
will
commit
to
any
specific
projects.
It's
just
us
working
together
to
to
to
show
the
world
all
that
we
have
the
offers.
It
relates
to
technology
and
innovation
and
again
the
manager
mentioned
older
person.
Matthew
has
been
heavily
involved
in
this
and,
in
the
beginning,
really
led
a
lot
of
the
efforts
and
has
led
a
lot
of
the
efforts,
and
so
I'll
assume
he'll
speak
to
this
as
well.
But
we're
excited
about
this
and
what
it's
going
to
represent
if.
A
Approved
sorry,
thank
you.
Is
there
a
motion
or
before
we
move
to,
although
alderman
matthew
motion
to
approve
okay?
Is
there
a
second
second
by
council
member
painter,
any
discussion,
jamie
yeah.
K
Thanks
mayor
and
thank
you,
tim
and
billy
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
craig
macbeth,
our
director
of
it
he's
been
involved
in
this
and
helping
along
as
we've
gone,
started
out
with
some
conversations
that
imboka
and
I
had
at
iml
the
illimoi
municipal
league,
I
think
three
years
ago,
and
we
started
with
a
smart
street
lighting
initiative
and
it's
just
continued
to
grow
from
there,
as
we
have
worked
significantly
with
the
town
of
normal
in
the
county
and
and
really
just
trying
to
make
sure
everybody's
on
the
same
page
as
we're
driving
technology
forward,
so
that
you
know,
while
we
may
not
always
work
together
in
the
same
projects,
if
everybody's
on
the
same
page,
in
terms
of
what
we're
working
on,
we
might
not
have
redundancy
of
efforts
right.
K
One
example
of
that
would
be
body
cam
testing
and
the
the
town
and
the
city
ended
up
on
two
different
technology
platforms
for
body
cams.
When,
if
we
had
this
framework
in
place
earlier,
we
might
have
been
able
to
do
some
testing
together
and
end
up
on
a
single
platform
that
might
would
have
been
easier
for
everybody
to
use
in
the
entire
area.
There's
just
a
lot
of
positive
things
that
I
think
are
going
to
come
out
of
this.
K
I
think
our
5g
design
efforts-
you
know
initially
came
out
of
this,
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
thank
you
to
council
member
kevin
mccarthy
from
the
town
of
vasu
and
city
manager.
Pam
reese
up
there,
charlie
charlie
etimala
from
illinois,
state
and
craig
jackson
from
illinois,
state
and
also
regional
planning
in
the
edc,
and
the
chamber
of
commerce
have
all
been
involved
in
this
as
well.
K
K
So
we
want
to
be
part
of
that
framework
and
and
be
able
to
work
within
metro
lab
as
well,
and
we
needed
an
mou
in
place
that
we
were
going
to
cooperate
work
with
the
universities
as
the
next
step
to
apply
to
metro
lab
again,
we
don't
have
any
projects
lined
up
100
right
now,
but
we
have
a
wish
list
of
things.
We
would
like
to
try
to
do
in
the
future,
and
everything
will
have
to
come
back
before
council
before
we
do
that.
K
But
you
know,
like
I
said,
the
5g
and
the
smart
street
lighting
are
both
kind
of
part
of
this
project
right
now
and
council's
already
approved
those
and
we're
already
working
on
both
those
efforts.
A
C
B
N
M
A
Motion
carries
eight
to
zero.
There
are
no
needs
to
announce.
Madam
clerk
maboka.
You
can
come
back
man
there.
We
go
all
right
at
this
point:
we're
going
to
move
on
to
item
9d
and
it's
consideration,
action
to
approve
the
purchase
of
air
burners,
and
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
mr
gleason.
We
have
a
brief
presentation
from
public
works
and
then
a
brief
council
discussion.
Mr
gleason.
C
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
Our
public
works
director,
kevin
cothy
has
a
brief
presentation.
It's
a
continuation
of
the
three
prior
presentations
regarding
our
solid
waste,
our
bulk
pickup,
some
of
the
challenges
that
we're
facing
financially.
C
This
is
truly
the
first
step
to
try
to
correct
some
of
the
shortfall
on
the
budget
side,
the
expense
side
versus
revenues
and
then
just
as
an
fyi
there's
going
to
be
presentation
number
four
next
week
at
the
community
of
the
whole,
with
other
staff
recommendations,
kevin
floor's,
yours.
T
T
This
is
very
exciting
to
get
to
this
point
where
we
can
look
at
actually
saving
some
money
by
purchasing
our
own
air
burner
and
tonight
I'm
gonna
share
some
details
about
what
an
air
burner
is
and
what
that
looks
like
and
the
next
slide
here
here
we
go
so
the
proposal
is
to
obtain
an
iepa
permit
and
implement
an
air
curtain
burner,
and
the
picture
there
in
the
lower
left
is
about
the
size
of
a
large
dumpster
and
it's
a
self-contained
apparatus,
and
you
can
see
the
picture
on
the
right
is
an
air
burner
that
is
is
operating
and
burning
and
by
doing
this
disposal
work
ourselves
we'll
be
able
to
eliminate
a
private
vendor
that
we
currently
use
for
that
purpose,
and
the
initial
estimated
cost
is
basically
164
000
to
purchase
the
air
burner
and
get
it
in
place,
and
then
our
estimated
annual
cost
for
operating
it
is
just
under
9
000.
T
So
you
can
see
in
this
graph
that
we've
been
spending.
You
know
upwards
of
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
last
several
years
as
actual
expenses,
and
our
budget
is
three
hundred
thousand
this
year
and
for
next
year
for
brush
disposal.
That
is
just
the
cost
that
we
pay
the
vendor
to
receive
our
brush.
T
We
deliver
it
to
him,
and
here
is
a
chart
that
shows
the
annual
savings
based
on
our
costs.
You
can
see
the
cost
of
the
air
burner
the
ash
rake
the
different
pieces
that
we
need
to
go
with
it,
including
fencing
around
it,
but
we
had
in
the
budget
this
year
to
purchase
a
tub
grinder
and
the
tub
grinders
are
very
expensive.
We
had
460
000
in
the
budget
this
year.
T
Well,
you
can
see
that
the
the
cost
savings
just
implementing
the
air
curtain
burner
is
significant,
and
so,
when
we,
when
we
look
at
the
you
know
savings
in
the
future,
you
can
see
that
that's
going
to
make
a
big
difference
on
our
expenses
for
our
solid
waste
budget.
T
The
air
curtain
burner
this
graphic
kind
of
explains
what
it
does.
T
T
The
upper
right
is
that
air
curtain
that's
blowing
across
the
burn
box
that
makes
the
fire
burn
very,
very
hot,
very
quickly
and
very
completely
containing
the
smoke
in
the
lower
left.
You
can
see
also
there's
there's
just
no
smoke
coming
off
that
that's
really
visible
and
then
in
the
lower
right.
You
can
see
what
they
call
the
ash
rake
pulling.
The
the
ashes.
What's
left
of
the
burn
out
and
and
those
ashes
are
a
product
that
can
be
used
on
fields
as
a
type
of
fertilizer.
T
So
the
the
benefits
of
the
air
burner
include
that
it
releases
less
particulate
matter
than
the
wood
grinders.
So
about
a
fourth
of
the
particulate
matter
that
a
wood
grinder.
Does
you
don't
think
about
the
wood
grinders
that
much
as
far
as
making
a
particulate
matter,
but
in
their
grinding
operation
they
do
give
off.
You
know
the
wood
chips,
but
also
wood
dust
off
of
that
and
so
forth.
So
about
a
fourth
the
amount
compared
to
a
wood,
wood
grinder,
the
air
curtain
burners.
T
They
have
a
lower
opacity
limit
from
the
epa,
so
the
opacity
is
less
than
10,
so
that
what
that
means
is
the
smoke
that
you
see
very
little
smoke.
It's
it's
not
something
that
obstructs
the
vision
like
a
traditional
firewood
and
then
waste
reduction
95
to
98
percent
waste
reduction,
meaning
a
hundred
tons
of
wood
would
equate
to
about
two
to
five
tons
of
ash,
so
very
effective
at
reducing
that
wood
pile
the
ash
can
be
used
as
a
soil
additive.
T
Wood
chips
require
additional
processing.
Quite
often,
wood
chips
are
actually
run
through
a
grinder
at
least
twice
to
make
them
something
that
people
would
want
to
use
for
mulch
releases
of
nitrous
oxide.
That
depends
on
the
fuel
source
type
of
equipment.
These
air
burners
do
the
one
that
we're
looking
at
uses
a
small
diesel
engine
and
we'll
get
to
that.
But
the
amount
of
fuel
and
operating
you
know,
fuel
that
is
needed
to
run
it
is,
is
much
reduced
because
you're
just
running
a
blower.
T
The
biogenic
carbon
dioxide
release
is
the
same.
In
other
words,
the
carbon
dioxide
contained
in
the
wood
itself
is
is
no
different,
whether
it's
released
immediately
or
whether
it's
released
through
composting,
and
then
the
air
burner
uses
significantly
less
fuel,
meaning
that
to
power
a
fan
of
59
horsepower
diesel
engine,
we'll
use
about
eight
and
a
half
liters
per
hour
and
burn
eight
tons
of
brush
an
hour,
whereas
the
grinder
needs
a
bigger
engine,
a
thousand
horsepower
and
uses
113.5
liters
per
hour
for
about
16
tons
of
brush
per
hour
capacity.
T
The
location
we're
looking
at
to
place.
The
air
burner
is
on
the
west
side
southwest
side
of
bloomington,
and
you
can
see
the
star
is
at
the
end
of
riven
motorway
off
of
six
points.
Road
heartland
hills
is
up
in
the
north
west
corner.
T
One
of
the
requirements
for
the
epa
permit
is
that
the
air
burner
needs
to
be
at
least
a
thousand
feet
away
from
any
residential,
and
so
this
this
map
is
pre-zoomed
out
and
so
the
the
farm
to
the
left
of
the
star
that
is
well
over
a
thousand
feet
away
and
the
residences
to
the
east.
T
Those
are
are
much
more
than
a
thousand
feet
away
and
we
plan
on
using
that
rivian
motorway
as
as
a
place
to
store
the
brush
during
the
week
and
then
run
the
air
burner.
Typically,
once
a
week
is
what
we're
thinking
to
dispose
of
the
brush
that's
been
accumulated
and
then
the
ash
can
be
disposed
of.
We
even
had
an
offer
from
the
farmer
out
there
already
that
would
like
it.
T
T
The
farmer,
obviously,
is
the
closest
resident.
So
we've
spoken
to
him,
we
haven't
been
able
to
speak
to
everybody
yet,
but
I've
started
that
conversation
and
once
we
have
permission
to
move
forward
with
this,
we'll
go
ahead
and
submit
the
iep
permit
the
lead
time
on
that
is
about
90
days.
They
have
to
turn
around
the
permit
and
the
air
burner
itself
the
lead
time
on
it
can
be
up
to
four
months
to
get
it
delivered.
T
A
So
much
kevin.
We
appreciate
your
hard
work
on
this
and
same
thing
with
you,
mr
gleason,
and
all
their
staff.
At
this
point,
questions
comments
or
a
motion:
councilmember
matthew,
thanks.
K
Mayor
kevin,
I
had
some
people
who
reached
out
to
me
in
the
last
couple
of
days
and
I
apologize
for
not
sending
you
an
email
on
this
earlier,
but
there's
two
primary
concerns
from
one
group.
They
were
concerned
about
trash
that
might
be
getting
mixed
in
with
the
brush.
K
It's
pretty
common
to
see
on
the
side
of
the
road
that
we've
got
bulk
brush
and
branches
put
out
there,
and
then
there
ends
up
being
trash
mixed
into
that
just
from
blowing
around,
and
is
that
or
how
is
that
sorted
out
prior
to
being
loaded
in
the
machine?
K
So
that
was
one
question,
and
the
second
question
was
on
staffing
and
and
how
how
this
was
going.
Was
this
actually
going
to
save
money
when
you
took
into
a
fact
that
you've
gotta
now
take
the
brush
and
drive
it
a
couple
of
miles
outside
of
town
and
you've
got
that
time
plus
fuel
to
get
it
out
there
and
then
one
or
two
people
on
site
to
run
this
thing:
where
did
you
guys
come
up
with
the
you
know?
The
question
is:
is
that
9
000
a
year
to
operate?
K
Is
that
including
staff
time
for
or
is
that,
just
like
the
motor
and
maintenance
of
the
motor
I
mean
because
I
think
that's
all
part
of
this
roi
right,
our
labor
for
our
employees
is
our
single
biggest
expense
in
the
city.
So
how
did
you
guys
figure
that
in.
T
We
were
figuring
on
using
the
existing
staff
to
to
run
that,
and
you
know
yes,
the
you
know
distance
out.
There,
we've
looked
at
that
as
well,
and
it's
it's
pretty
similar.
You
know
it
just
depends
on
where
you're
coming
from
and
what
part
of
town
and
in
some
ways
it's
closer
than
where
we're
taking
it
today.
In
other
cases,
it's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
farther,
but
overall
the
idea
is
is
that
we
would
use
the
existing
staff
to
to
run
it.
T
Obviously,
we
need
a
operator
out
there
to
run
the
loader
and
and
possibly
a
labor
to
help,
like
you
said,
to
pick
out
trash
or
whatever
might
be
dumped
in
with
the
load.
If,
if
that
is
necessary,
but
we
were,
we
were
looking
that
we
could,
you
know,
use
our
existing
staff
under
our
existing
time
to
to
operate
that.
T
There
may
be
times
that
you
know
like,
for
instance,
with
the
big
storms
where
we
had
the
all
the
extra
brush
to
collect
that
we're
gonna
have
to
run
it
more
days
and-
and
there
might
be
a
little
bit
of
overtime
with
that
to
to
get
all
that
disposed
of,
but
under
the
regular
brush
pickup.
We
think
that
we
can
use
our
existing
staff
just
fine
and
get
that
burned
on
a
weekly
basis.
T
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Any
councilmember
emic.
N
Yes,
thank
you.
I
got
some
questions
too
right
before
I
came
here
and
you
answered
one
of
them,
but
could
you
just
reiterate
that
this
particular
process
is
environmentally
sound.
T
Yes,
the
air
burner,
like
I
say,
is
very
efficient
with
the
the
air
curtain
in
containing
the
smoke
and
doing
a
complete
burn
of
everything.
That's
in
there.
You
know,
there's
I've
reached
out
to
some
others
like
michael
brown,
for
comments
and
that
type
of
thing,
but
you
know,
there's
some
differing
opinions,
obviously
on
wood,
wood
chips
versus
air
burning,
but
honestly,
there's
there's
so
much
wood
chip
material
that
even
parks,
I
I
checked
with
dave
lamb
and
they
have
wood
chip
available.
T
For
you
know
our
citizens
for
free.
It's
not
the
finer
chip.
That's
been
shipped
twice
it's
shipped
once,
but
they
can't
even
get
rid
of
it.
So
it
really
part
of
this
becomes
an
issue
of
just
disposing
of
all
the
material.
You
know
there's
just
so
much
brush
that
we
collect,
especially
from
like
an
ice
storm,
that
type
of
thing
that
you
know
it.
T
It
takes
extra
effort,
like
I
say,
to
ship
it
twice
to
really
get
a
product
that
people
really
want,
and
so
there's
extra
costs
involved
with
with
the
wood
grinder
with
the
tub
grinder
as
well
to
make
that
better
product.
And
so
you
know
this
is
a
very
efficient
way
to
reduce
the
material
to
ash
that
can
be
used
for
fertilizer
on
fields.
I
Yeah,
I
have
a
few
comments.
This
is
going
to
be
located,
not
exactly
in
my
ward,
but
in
that
the
county
right
outside
my
ward,
there's
there's
an
elementary
school
there.
Is
that
farther
out
than
what
is
it
a
thousand
feet
or.
I
Okay,
okay
and
the
other
thing
as
I
was
considering,
was
safety.
As
far
as
can
some
teenager
that
is
going
to
turn
into
an
arsonist,
go
out
there
and
have
access
to
you
know
the
limbs
that
are
sitting
out
that
could
have
a
brush
fire
that
was
not
intended.
T
The
you
know
the
road
at
just
south
of
six
points.
The
road
is
actually
gated.
T
Yeah,
so
you
know
it
would
it
would
not
be
impossible
to
do
it,
but
it'd
be
very
difficult,
because
the
the
that
is
gated
and
closed
off,
and
it's
out
it's
really.
If
you
drive
out
there,
you'll
notice
that
the
the
road
drops
off
as
you
head
south.
So
there's
you
know
right
there
by
six
points,
there's
actually
a
little
bit
of
a
rise
in
the
hill,
and
you
can't
even
see
really
all
the
way
back
down
there.
T
So
it's
really
kind
of
kind
of
hidden
from
sight
and,
like
I
say
we
plan
to
you,
know,
run
it
on
a
weekly
basis,
and
you
know
some
some
of
the
brush
is
a
little
bit
green
too.
That
gets
taken
out
there.
Some
of
it's
drier,
wouldn't
say
it's
impossible
that
it
could
happen,
but
we
think
that
we
have
it.
You
know
pretty
well
secured.
Okay,.
I
A
Kevin,
I
just
have
one
question:
how
confident
are
you
about
the
the
cost
savings.
T
We've
worked,
you
know
it's
not
just
myself,
but
our
staff
has
looked
at
it
extensively
and
talked
with
other
communities
and
we're
we're
comfortable
that
we
can
make
this
work
with
our
existing
staff.
A
Okay,
are
there
is
there
a
motion,
then
moved
by
council
member
painter?
Is
that
a
is
that
correct
second,
by
council
member
bolin?
Is
that
correct?
I
see
the
the
two
already
any
discussion
comments.
Seeing
that,
madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll.
N
N
B
J
A
Thank
you
very
much
we're
going
to
move
to
item
e
now
and
that
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
mr
gleason
in
a
second,
we
have
a
brief
presentation
and
brief
five
minutes:
five
minutes
council
discussion
and
presentation
on
the
kova
19
amendment.
Excuse
me
local
emergency
ordinance
regarding
water,
shut-offs
and
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
mr
gleason.
C
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
I
know
that
information
was
provided
to
the
council
about
this
amendment,
but
it
is
regarding
water
shutoffs,
some
of
the
bloomington
numbers
that
we
wanted
to
share
from
march
of
2020.
C
Under
the
revised
plan,
shutoff
notices
would
start
going
out
with
the
first
shutoffs
not
occurring
until
june
1st
of
2021,
so
here
in
a
couple
of
months,
knowing
that
this
will
impact
a
number
of
residents,
amendment
also
authorizes
you
myself,
as
city
manager,
to
issue
an
executive
order
establishing
relaxed
repayment
terms
to
avoid
shutoffs.
C
Some
of
the
other
issues
concerns
with
continuing
the
suspension.
Residents
will
continue
to
fall
further
and
further
behind
more
people
are
falling
further
behind,
despite
improvement
in
the
unemployment
rate
in
april
of
2020,
it
was
13
february
of
this
year.
Unemployment
rate
was
down
to
a
5.1
percent.
We
realize
that
that's
not
a
catch-all,
and
that
does
that's
not
indicative
of
some
of
the
true
hardship
cases
that
are
out
there
in
the
community.
C
Landlords
are
also
jointly
liable
for
water
bills
and
have
no
recourse
if
their
tenants
are
not
paying
the
water
bill.
We've
heard
some
public
comment:
we've
received
some
outreach
via
email.
I
know
the
elected
officials
have
as
I
and
I
think,
scott
rathbun
and
other
staff
members
have.
There
is
currently
assistance
available
to
assist
customers
that
are
behind
we're,
not
sure
when
this
funding
will
not
be
available
any
longer
from
some
of
the
other
entities.
C
C
The
city
would
simultaneously
offer
more
generous
repayment
terms
to
avoid
shutting
water
off
via
the
city
manager
executive
order.
If
it's
approved,
these
terms
would
also
include
lowering
the
city's
standard
down
payment
of
15.
Fifty
five
zero
percent
of
the
total
utility
bill
to
twenty
five
percent.
C
The
city's
current
informal
repayment
terms
will
also
be
laid
out
in
executive
order
that
includes
giving
residents
six
months
to
pay
back
the
amounts
waiving
any
interest
if
the
repayment
agreement
is
fulfilled,
waiving
any
penalties
if
the
repayment
agreement
is
refilled
as
well.
I
know
I
went
through
that
quick,
it's
something
that
council
had
in
hand
prior
to
the
meeting,
but
wanted
to
read
that
and
open
this
up
to
questions
comments
might
ask
jeff
jurgens
to
also
assist
if
there's
questions
of
corporation
council
mayor.
A
Just
just
to
clarify,
if
there's
been
some
discussion,
I
don't
know
what
the
council's
pleasure
might
be,
but
if
we
do
receive
money
from
grant
money
that
we
expect
from
the
federal
government,
we
could
use
a
small
portion
of
that
to
defray
some
of
these
expenses
at
a
later
point,
regardless
of
what
we
decide
tonight.
Is
that
correct?
Mr
gleason?
A
Yes,
it
is
okay.
Thank
you
very
much,
questions
comments
or
a
motion.
P
Yeah,
I
mean,
I
guess,
while
some
of
the
unemployment
numbers
are
are
looking
up.
I
guess
I
I
just
it
bears
repeating
that
poverty
is
compounding,
and
so
folks
that
have
fallen
behind
on
certain
payments
have
had
to
spend
more
money,
paying
late
fees
and
interests
and
on
and
on
and
so
like.
P
It
isn't
a
thing
that
it's
just
gonna
clear
out
just
because
somebody
is
able
to
like
you
know,
have
a
job
again
after
the
pandemic,
and
so
this
feels
very
much
like
we're,
like
rushing
into
yeah
and
back
into
a
punitive
system
when,
when
a
good
bunch
of
our
community
is
still
in
crisis,
and
so
I
saw
an
email
from
council
member
matthew
suggesting
something
similar
to
what
was
what
you
just
mentioned
mayor
around
using
some
of
that
federal
money
to
zero
out
the
balances.
P
I
think
that
that
would
be
hugely
beneficial
to
those
folks,
because
while
we
can't
help
with
everything
and
know
that
folks
have
not
been
able
to
qualify
for
assistance
on
a
lot
of
things
like
this
is
the
one
thing
that
is
in
our
hands.
It's
the
one
utility
that
is
still
publicly
owned
and
so
like.
We
should
use
that
as
much
as
possible
to
to
help
our
residents
out,
and
I
just
don't
you
know.
1.2
million
is
a
lot
and
also
in
as
we
just
discussed
the
budget,
which
is
a
huge
amount
of
money.
P
Like
I
mean
relatively
speaking,
it
isn't
that
much,
and
I
know
that
it
would
be
a
meaningful
contribution
to
a
lot
of
those
households
that
have
fallen
behind,
and
so
I
would.
I
would
prefer
that
we
hold
off
on
this
and
not
vote
to
resume
shutoffs
until
we
explore
the
possibilities
for
for
some
kind
of
debt
forgiveness
program.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you
other
comments
or
a
motion
council
member
bray.
M
I
I'm
thankful
for
the
city's
careful
approach
to
this.
I
think
there's
a
good
balance.
It's
been
struck
here
at
this
time,
perhaps
pursuing
what
federal
money
might
do
and
what
kind
of
qualifying
criteria
would
be
appropriate
because
we
must
account
for
the
federal
funds,
of
course,
that
are
given
to
us.
It
could
be
an
exercise
done
at
a
later
time,
but
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
accept
this
as
presented
by
staff.
A
Okay,
is
there
a
second
to
this
motion?
Second
by
council
member
bolin,
further
discussion.
H
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah.
I
I
to
reiterate,
what's
been
said:
I
would
be
against
any
shutoffs
at
this
time.
I
think
people
are
still
hurting
getting.
Aid
to
people
is
taking
time
so
that
they
can,
you
know,
get
caught
up.
You
know
with
their
with
their
bills.
You
know
the
the
unemployment
rate
is
still
pretty
high
when
it
was
2.8.
I
think
before
you
know
this.
H
The
the
pandemic
I'd
like
to
wait
to
see
if
we
can
get
some
federal
or
state
funds
even
to
to
help
the
city
out
with
with
that.
But
but
at
this
point
I
would
be
against
any
starting
any
shutoffs.
K
And,
first
of
all
clarification,
we
said
that
we
were
gonna,
suspend
shutoffs
and
you
know
late
payments
and
stuff
for
water.
What
date
did
we
originally
say?
We
were
gonna,
suspend
that
through
did
we
do
we
ever
set
a
date
on
that
originally
jeff.
Q
Q
Of
originally,
we
did
two
different
things:
we
stopped
interest
and
penalties.
We
resumed
those.
There
was
an
amendment
back
where
we
resume
those,
and
I
I
have
to
look
at
my
book
here,
but
I
think
it
was,
and
scott
rathbun
can
probably
correct
me
off
the
top
of
his
head,
but
I
think
we
started
charging
interest
and
penalties
around
the
end
of
september
he's
shaking
his
head,
yes
of
2020.,
so
this
would
again
be
a
you
know.
K
Okay
and
yeah-
I
guess
I'm
I'm
still
leaning
towards
agreeing
that
may
31st
seems
a
little
bit.
K
Quick,
I
mean
is
the
goal,
then:
is
that
we're
trying
to
get
people
to
sign
up
for
some
sort
of
a
plan
where
they're
going
to
work
and
and
set
a
priority
that
at
some
point
they
can
start
paying
this
off?
Is
that
really
what
the
intention
is
here
that
we
say
that
you
know
we're
trying
to
emerge
from
the
the
turtle
shell
of
cobid
and
create
a
plan
of
how
to
get
people
back
on
their
feet?.
C
It
is
accurate,
alderman
matthew,
it's
giving
quite
quite
a
bit
of
latitude
to
negotiate.
I
I
guess,
if
you
will
different
plans
with
residents,
trying
to
avoid
being
punitive
by
allowing
repayment
under
different
options
and.
C
Then
also
one
of
the
questions
that
you
had
alderman
matthew
was
how
to
use
the
federal
funding,
that's
always
an
option
and
as
we
get
clarity
on
how
the
money
that
we'll
receive
at
some
point
in
the
future,
that's
a
larger
discussion
on
the
use
of
that
money
for
the
city.
But
that
is
also
an
option.
K
C
I'm
not
comfortable
saying
that
you
know
we
watch
all
eyes
are
on
springfield
and
d.c.
We
reach
out
to
the
congressional
delegation
and
we
don't
have
that
date.
I
wish
we
did
okay.
K
Not
knowing
that,
then
I
would
say
that
I
am
not
comfortable
supporting
this
right
now.
I
would
like
to
know
more
information
from
the
federal
government
in
terms
of
what
that
looks
like
I.
I
know
that
we
need
to
do
something,
but
I
I
guess
I
just
want
to
see
a
little
bit
more
time
until
we
get
some
information
on
that
relief
coming
our
way
and
how
we
could
use
that.
A
G
Hand
up
I,
I
am
really.
G
In
getting
more
information
before
I'm
deciding
to
to
cut
things
off-
and
this
is
another
instance
of
that-
it
feels
to
me
like
like
there-
are
some
unanswered
questions
about
federal
and
state
dollars.
It
feels
like
there
are
some
some
fuzzy
areas
about
what
other
sources
of
funding
there
might
be
from
either
the
township
or
from
you
know,
other
ngos,
and
it
seems,
like
those
those
pieces
of
information,
need
to
be
in
place
if
we're
going
to
actually
put
a
payment
plan
in
place
for
people.
G
I
really
appreciate
that
the
you
know
the
efforts
to
try
to
come
up
with
a
a
good,
solid
way
of
creating
payment
plans,
but
it
feels
like
a
responsible
way
to
act,
and
it
includes
has
to
include
some
some
answers
to
those
questions
and,
frankly,
the
pandemic
isn't
over.
Yet
we're.
You
know
we're
at
a
place
where
our
hospitals
are.
You
know
seeing
more
coveted
patients
than
than
we
have
in
a
very
long
time,
and
I
think
that
we're
fooling.
G
I
Yeah
the
reason
I
seconded
this
was
primarily,
I
think
it's
good
to
have
a
payment
plan
in
place,
so
I
mean
I'm
speaking
personally.
If
I
know
that
I
have
a
payment
plan
in
place
like
putting
something
on
layaway,
and
I
know
that
I
can
you
know,
start
pla
paying
it
off
that
gives
kind
of
a
peace
of
mind
and
to
get
to
plan
ahead.
I
I'm
not
saying
that
there
should.
I
A
Yeah,
it
seems
clear
to
me
donna,
okay
and
if,
if
anybody
else
needs
to
talk
we're
way
over
time,
so
I'm
going
to
need
to
extend
this.
If
we
need
to
talk
about
this
more
councilman
middlewarm
play.
O
Sure
I
what
I
wanted
you
know,
city
management
gleason
to
speak.
To
is
one
what
the
terms
of
the
repayment
plans
would
be.
I
mean
I
don't
want
to
get
too
much
into
the
weeds,
but
I'm
kind
of
curious
about
how
you
know
we
would
communicate
to
residents.
You
know.
Is
it
one
time,
second
time
if
we
don't
hear
from
them,
because
sometimes
I
know
when
we
do
mail
things
or
communicate
with
residents,
you
know
people
might
not
get
it.
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
understand
how
the
process
would
work.
C
Tim,
thank
you.
I
I
probably
covered
that
too
quick.
So
I'm
just
going
to
go
ahead
and
read
that
portion
of
the
email
that
I
shared
with
everyone,
the
special
repayment
terms
to
take
into
consideration
the
impact
of
the
pandemic.
The
city
would
simultaneously
offer
more
generous
repayment
terms
to
avoid
shutting
water
off
via
the
city
manager
in
an
executive
order.
If
that's
granted,
these
terms
would
include
lowering
the
city's
standard
down
payment
of
50
percent
of
the
total
utility
bill
to
25.
C
The
city's
current
informal
repayment
terms
will
will
also
be
laid
out
in
an
executive
order
that
includes
giving
residents
six
months
to
pay
back
the
amounts
waiving
any
interest.
If
the
repayment
agreement
is
fulfilled,
waiving
any
penalties
if
the
repayment
agreement
is
fulfilled,
the
city
manager
would
also
have
the
authority
to
settle
accounts
in
special
circumstances.
C
But
as
we
look
at
other
communities
that
are
con,
looking
at
some
utility
billing
we're
seeing
that
some
of
the
communities
see
that
this
is
a
point
to
at
least
do
something.
And
it's
not
suggesting
that
we're
done
with
this
yet.
And
it's
not
suggesting
that
the
federal
funding
at
some
point
will
have
clarity
and
that
discussion
can
come
before
council
to
see
if
the
uses
would
be
permissible
for
this
as
well.
But
we
just
thought
that
the
timing
might
be
right,
but
also
leaving
open
that
understanding.
O
A
C
O
A
Isn't
normal
right?
Okay,
all
right
at
this
point,
unless
we
have
a
motion
to
extend
because
we've
gone
instead
of
five
minutes
where
it's
almost
17
minutes,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
unless
there's
objection
to
call
the
question
on
the
motion
that
was
made
in
front
of
us.
Madam
clerk,
could
you
please
call
the
roll.
C
J
L
N
J
G
J
B
A
Thank
you
very
much,
and
this
obviously,
I
think,
based
on
what
we've
heard
this
evening,
that
this
is
something
that
especially
if
we
we
get
a
little
bit.
We
know
a
little
bit
more
as
the
new
mayor
and
council
take
over
that.
A
This
might
very
well
come
back,
especially
if
it's
combined
with
some
sort
of
clarity
in
terms
of
the
kinds
of
assistance
we
might
be
able
to
provide
from
the
federal
government,
and
at
this
point
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
mr
gleason
for
a
city,
manager's
report
and
again
we
have
us.
The
only
items
we
have
left
are
city
managers,
comments,
mayor's
comments
and
then
council
member
comments
and
then
we'll
adjourn.
Mr
gleason.
C
C
Unlock
a
piece
of
history
celebrating
the
history
of
downtown
bloomington
during
national
historic
preservation
month
may
1st
may
1st
friday,
which
is
may
7th
and
that
will
be
5
p.m,
to
8
p.m.
And
then.
C
I
would
like
to
make
this
announcement
and
it's
an
exciting
one.
I
think
everybody
knows
or
recalls
that
fire
chief
brian
moore
retired
in
november
of
last
year
and
eric
west
had
filled
the
interim
position.
We
started
the
recruitment
about
six
weeks
ago.
It
was
a
national
search
that
drew
applicants
from
you
know
all
across
the
united
states.
We
had
40
qualified
applicants,
interview
team
interviewed
applicants
and
the
decision
was
made
to
appoint
eric
west
as
the
fire
chief.
C
The
interview
team,
real
quick,
was
made
up
of
the
deputy
city
manager,
hr
director,
nicole
albertson
chief
diversity
and
inclusion
officer,
michael
hurt
and
then
also
decatur's,
fire
chief
called
on
him
to
participate
in
this,
and
while
we
had
very
qualified
candidates
from
across
the
country,
eric
rose
to
the
top.
We
had
a
couple
of
internal
candidates
and
they
both
were
extremely,
but
eric
was
the
one
that
I
selected
and
congratulations
to
him
eric
do
you
want
to
say
a
couple
of
words.
F
R
I'd
like
to
thank
you
thank
the
city
manager
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
lead
the
the
members
of
the
bloomington
fire
department.
I
know
he
had
many
good
candidates
to
choose
from
and
I'm
truly
honored
to.
He
chose
me
as
almost
a
30-year
member
of
this
department.
I've
seen
a
lot
of
changes
in
the
last
20
years
29
years,
and
I
can
tell
you
right
now.
R
The
city
of
bloomington
fire
department
is,
if
not
the
best
is
one
of
the
best
departments
in
the
state
and
I'm
excited
to
be
the
next
fire
chief
of
the
department,
I'm
very
fortunate
that
the
last
two
fire
chiefs
did
a
lot
of
work
to
get
the
department
to
where
we're
at.
At
this
point,
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
work
ahead
to
maintain
the
level
and
my
staff,
and
I
will
continue
to
work,
look
for
ways
to
keep
improving
and
moving
the
department
forward
to
provide
the
best
service
possible
to
the
citizens
of
bloomington.
R
I
also
know
that,
without
the
support
of
the
mayor,
council
and
city
manager,
the
department
would
not
be
in
such
a
good
shape.
As
we
are
myself.
My
staff
members
of
the
department,
thank
you
for
that
support.
I
know
there
are
items
that
will
need
to
be
brought
before
the
council
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you
as
we
continue
to
look
to
improve
the
department.
Again,
I
want
to
thank
city
manager
gleason
for
the
opportunity.
A
C
Tim
thanks
mayor
two
other
things
wanted
to
share,
and
I
think
people
saw
this
on
social
media
in
the
media
realtor.com
nationally,
internationally
known
company
ranked
the
city
of
bloomington
as
number
one
for
affordable
housing
in
a
you
know,
the
an
age
group
I
think
it's
like
24
to
35..
C
I
mean
number
one
out
of
all
the
different
communities
that
they
could
have
chose.
I
think
there
were
800
total
and
we
were
number
one
and
that's
something
to
be
very
proud
of
the
deputy
city
manager,
billy
tyus.
I
want
to
share
with
everyone
that
he
was
recently
appointed
to
the
illinois
city
managers,
association,
board
of
directors.
So
congratulations
to
billy
as
well,
representing
the
city
of
bloomington,
extremely
well,
so
congrats
billy.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
that.
Congratulations,
elsa
to
billy
and
one
of
my
comments,
my
comment's,
going
to
be
very
brief.
I
did
want
to
note
that
about
realtor.com
being
number
one
out
of
800
or
so
communities
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
can't
do
more
things
that
we
don't
have
people
that
are
struggling,
but
we
know
that
it
also
means
that,
given
the
size
of
our
community,
we
can
do
more.
We
can
do
a
lot
better
to
be
a
model
for
other
communities
to
follow.
A
I
did
want
to
again
congratulate
last
time.
I
spoke,
we
didn't
know
who
was
going
to
be
the
mayor
and
we
had
one
congratulate
mayor,
elect
mavoco,
milo
wamboy,
and
there
will
be
a
transition
ceremony
swearing
in
ceremony.
May
1st
I'll
call
the
meeting
to
order
maboco
will
be
sworn
in
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
him,
as
the
other
council
members
are
are
sworn
in.
I
want
to
congratulate,
although
we
had
a
really
tough,
tough,
really
close
race.
A
I
want
to
congratulate
jamie
matthew
and
barely
squeaking
out
and
also
council
member
ward
for
winning
in
her
race.
You
know,
congratulations
to
you
and
then
the
the
new
council
members
in
wards
three
five
and
nine
and
we
certainly
look
forward
to
having
them
sworn
in
on
may
1st.
That's
all.
I
have
any
aldermanic
comments.
A
I'm
sorry,
councilmember
bowen.
I
Yeah,
I
guess
it's
kind
of
ironic
that
the
new
fire
chief
was
put
into
place
because
the
saturday
before
easter
there
was
a
fire
in
the
house
across
the
street
from
us,
and
the
response
was
very
quick.
Everyone
escaped
the
pets
were
rescued.
I
I
Those
guys
are
great
and
then,
additionally,
a
constituent
reached
out
to
me
or
reached
out
to
the
fire
department
and
then
reached
out
to
me-
and
she
spoke
with
someone
by
the
name
of
eric
davidson
and
as
she
put
it,
was
extremely
helpful,
very
informative
and
kind.
O
Yep
sorry,
hazard
of
being
on
zoom
yeah
mayor.
Thank
you.
I
I
wanted
to
kind
of
take
a
moment
to
address
the
comments
that
were
made
by
council
member
carrillo
towards
her
future
colleagues,
shermany
and
nick
becker
on
election
night.
O
In
my
opinion,
the
the
behavior
the
comments
and
becoming
of
a
council
member,
and
I
believe
that
we
we
have
the
opportunity
to
reiterate
what
we
think
are
appropriate
standards
for
our
behavior
as
council
members
and
again,
I
want
to
point
out
that
this
is
not
a
personal
thing
at
all,
but
but
I
do
believe
that
council
members
have
a
responsibility
to
use
their
words
wisely.
O
O
What
I've
seen
in
the
past
few
days
is
that
our
community
has
rallied
and
expressed
outrage
against
the
behavior
and
the
comments
that
were
made.
People
who
ordinarily
did
not
pay
much
attention
to
the
liberations
of
the
council
have
reached
out
to
me
and
said
you
know
they've
had
enough.
O
They
do
not
want
to
see
this
kind
of
behavior
out
of
our
council
members,
so
I
believe
it
is
important
for
us
to
act.
If
we
do
not
act,
you
know
it
would
amount
to
a
tacit
approval
of
the
behavior
and
the
comments.
O
So
what
I
would
like
to
to
propose
is
you
know
two
things
for
the
staff
to
work
on
immediately.
One
is
to
provide
the
council
with
an
instrument
that
we
would
consider
at
a
special
need,
which
would
allow
us
to
the
council
to
formally
express
our
disapproval
of
those
comments
and
actions
in
the
strongest
terms
possible.
A
Thank
you
in
order
to
make
that
happen,
the
the
process
would
be.
You
need
to
fill
out
a
a
council
request
form
at
this
point
you
you
can.
Obviously,
after
may
1st,
you
can
call
a
special
meeting
on
your
own,
but
those
are
the
two
options
that
you'd
have
at
this
point.
So,
but
you
do
have
the
the
option
you
know
over
the
next
few
weeks.
If
you
choose
to
have
a
council
request,
form
put
forward.
Okay,.
A
We
we
adjourn
because
I'm
not
seeing
this,
who
cares
actually
councilmember
carrillo.
P
Yeah,
thank
you
for
your
concern.
I'm
I'm
quite
fine
with
the
example
that
I'm
setting
for
young
people
in
the
community.
So
thank
you
for
your
concern
and
I
think
your
disapproval
is
clear:
there's
no
need
to
waste
anybody's
time
with
some
formal
process.
I
don't
think,
but
if
you
want
to
do
that,
then
that's
your
prerogative.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
bray
and
again,
let's
be
clear
that
that,
by
the
way
these
we're
this,
this
council
member,
I
apologize
councilmember,
I
will
get
to
you.
This
is
not
point
counterpoint
here
and
council
member
altermatic
comments
are
supposed
to
be
announcements
and
isolated
situations,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
to
councilman
bray.
At
this
point,
I
think
you
have
the
last
word.
M
M
It
is
a
tough
thing
to
run
and
there's
a
commitment
there
to
community
that
should
be
honored
as
well,
but
again
congratulating
those
who
won
ward,
three
sheila
monteney
world
five,
nick
becker,
ward,
nine
tom,
crumpler
and-
and
I
know
I've
spoken
with
with
most
and
of
course
also
our
mayor
pro
tem
mayor,
elect
maboka
milibabway,
we're
a
community
that
wants
to
care
for
one
another,
and
so
I'm
thankful
for
our
our
new
fire
chief.
M
He
has
a
long
history
of
caring,
and
so
I'm
I'm
appreciative
of
that.
He
will
now
serve
in
this
important
role.
I
would
also
say
that
I'm
in
agreement
with
the
comments
and
the
approach
outlined
by
mayor
pro-tem,
mayor-elect
milima,
I
support
the
city
council
moving
forward
to
address
the
matter.
That's
been
outlined
because
this
is
what
my
constituents
and
the
majority
of
the
community
is
calling
for
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
