And
we're
gonna
move
on
to
a
report
by
our
elected
officials
and
we'll
start
with
downshape
supervisor
dubs
Gilroy.
H
Thank
you,
I
wanted
to
update
you
other
than
my
supervisor's
report.
That's
in
your
packet
I
wanted
to
update
you
on
the
hair
program.
We
are
already
at
disbursing
10
717.11
one
was
for
a
mortgage,
five
were
for
rent
and
in
addition
to
helping
them
with
and
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
exactly
how
many
individuals-
it's
not
on
this
report,
but
we
also
helped
to
six
Utility
payments,
so
we
cleared
I
mean
we
were
able
to
break
people
out
of
their
rears
that
they
were
in
for
both
in
combination.
H
First,
we
run
them
through
the
emergency
assistance,
general
assistance,
emergency
assistance
program,
and
then
we
have
this
as
an
additional.
So
we've
been
pretty
successful
so
far
and
that's
just
been
since
the
end
of
November
after
our
board
meeting
so
I'll
have
an
updated
report
for
December
which
will
modify
these
numbers
in
January.
A
Thank
you.
Are
there
questions
okay,
seeing
none?
We
normally
would
move
to
Township
assessors
report,
Steve
Scott
of
it.

Opportunity
to
join
remotely
I
have
had
a
direct
covet
exposure
I'm.
Just
writing
the
other
side
of
the
wall
from
everyone
joining
this
way.
So
I'll
I'll
just
do
everything
as
we
normally
do.
When
you
call
on
me.
A
Public
comment
is
an
opportunity
for
speakers
to
provide
their
views
and
feedback
to
the
city
council.
It
is
also
an
opportunity
for
the
city
council
to
listen
and
hear
diverse
points
of
view
to
maximize
the
impact
of
public
comment
and
show
respect
for
the
expression
of
All
Views.
Speakers
should
maintain
Civility
and
focus
on
City
issues.
A
Speakers
must
identify
themselves
for
the
record
but
are
not
required
to
give
their
address.
Each
speaker
is
given
the
floor
for
three
minutes,
and
the
council
does
not
respond
or
engage
in
debate.
Any
speaker
that
engages
in
threatening
or
disorderly
Behavior
will
be
deemed
out
of
order
and
their
time
seized.
J
Hello
again,
so
my
name
is
Jackie
Beyer
and
I'm
here
as
a
board
member
of
back
the
blue
Central
Illinois,
as
you
make
the
decision
whether
or
not
to
approve
the
levy
for
the
pension
today,
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
know
that
a
fully
funded
pension
is
extremely
important
for
our
First
Responders,
not
only
to
retain
those
who
currently
serve
but
to
attract
those
who
are
interested
in
serving.
J
In
my
opinion,
the
city
needs
to
show
they
value
our
First
Responders
by
prioritizing
them
within
the
current
budget
and
allocating
the
new
newly
established
revenue
streams.
It
won't
matter
if
we
have
a
new
pool,
a
new
library,
a
new
streetscape
if
the
places
aren't
that
safe
and
I
hope
the
city
council
votes,
know
tonight.
If
the
city
council
votes
know
tonight,
the
city
will
still
fund
their
obligation
with
existing
funds.
K
Scott
steinlingward
five:
it
continues
to
amaze
me
that
the
city
of
Bloomington
continues
to
delay
resurfacing
and
raising
the
inlets
make
all
sidewalks
Ada
accessible,
which
was
a
federal
law
in
1990.
K
that
was
over
32
years
ago.
I
understand
that
as
they
are
replacing
the
sidewalks,
they
are
Ada
accessible,
but
I
wonder
it
took
32
years
to
get
there.
You
know,
I
saw
an
individual
that
has
since
moved
since
her
granddaughter
is
no
longer
living
with
him.
The
granddaughter
was
in
a
wheelchair
and
I
saw
the
little
grandmother
hike
that
wheelchair
up
over
the
curb
and
I
went
down.
I
said
you
are
out
of
your
mind.
K
I
said
I'd
call
at
that
time:
Jim
Carson's,
Public
Works
director
at
City,
Hall
and
I'd
raise
holy
net
and
they
were
out
there
the
very
next
morning
to
put
that
sidewalk
in
they
knew
they
were
in
violation,
I,
wonder
if
somebody'd
be
32
years
late
and
paying
the
property
taxes
take
32
years
to
sell
the
property,
you
know
good
and
well,
it
wouldn't,
and
maybe
Tim's
salary
should
be
frozen.
What
it
was
in
1990,
which
was
long
before
he
came
to
the
city
of
Bloomington,
that
was
long
before
covet
too.
K
K
It's
to
the
point
where
I've
ruined
tires
on
a
car
because
of
hitting
all
the
potholes
in
this
city,
as
you
enter,
the
city
of
Bloomington
say
welcome
to
Bloomington
Home
of
the
potholes
rotten
roads.
High
taxes
I
noticed
that
Bloomington
with
the
motor
fuel
tax
it
keeps
going
up.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Okay,
we
got
to
move
on
to
the
consent
agenda
because
there
are
no
recognitions
or
appointments.
Is
that
correct?
Okay?
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
Mr.
A
D
A
L
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
as
as
I
read
through
the
packet
here
on
7f
and
and
Cadillac
Jackson,
I
I
don't
live
too
far
from
Cadillac
Jackson
and
one
of
the
things
that
that
popped
out
at
me
as
I
read
through
here
that
and
I'm
I'm
curious
for
your
perception.
Mr
Mayor
of
of
when
Mr
Bentley
stated
that
if
we
did
not
approve
this,
that
he
would
continue
playing
music
until
11
o'clock
was
that
just
a
statement
that
he
was
making
or
did
you
feel
there
was
something
else
behind
that.
A
I
I
don't
think
there
was
necessarily
something
else
behind
it.
I
mean
the
the
compromise
based
on
his
request
is
for
him
to
stop
playing
music
at
10
o'clock.
Okay,
but
if
this
does
not
pass,
then
you
know
he
can
continue
to
operate
as
he
has
in
the
past
now
could
be
subject
to
noise
violation.
If
that
were
to
happen,
Okay.
L
Okay,
thank
you
that
was
that
was
my
question.
Should
music
continue
if
we
were
to
pass
this?
Should
music
continue
after
10
p.m,
and
and
I
would
hope
that
the
neighbors
would
not
be
sitting
there
going
it's
1001.
We
have
to
call
it's
a
violation.
You
know
if
the
band's,
in
the
middle
of
this
a
song
they're
in
the
middle
of
a
song,
things
like
that
I
mean
there.
L
L
midnight
that
type
of
thing,
how
quickly
would
it
be
that
he
would
lose?
Maybe
not
only
his
new
license
for
outdoor,
but
his
entire
license.
A
Well,
I
would
say
that
would
be
subject
we're
hearing,
okay,
you
know
so
I
mean
it's
complaint
based,
I
I,
think
you
know
the
and
that's
I
mean
to
me.
It
was
obvious
throughout
the
the
conversation
that
we
had.
The
goal
was
to
try
to
find
a
compromise,
okay
between
him
and
the
neighbors,
and
it
looks
like
he.
A
You
know
he
made
attempts
here
because
he
was
initially
reluctant
to
the
10
pm.
Okay,
but
eventually
he
agreed
to
do
that
in
the
spirit
of
compromise
and
prior
to
that.
He
actually
also
you
know,
communicated
with
a
number
of
the
neighbors
surrounding,
and
you
know,
provided
his
I
believe
his
number,
but
also
numbers
of
some
of
his
staff.
A
The
person
who
works,
I
think
the
DJ
or
the
person
who
handles
the
sound
so
that
people
can
you
know
can
let
them
know
is
this
too
loud,
and
this
is
all
in
the
spirit
of
compromise
you
know
trying
to
to
work
as
good
neighbors.
L
So
would
you
say
that
the
Mr
Bentley
and
the
neighbors
seem
to
have
come
to
an
understanding
and
an
agreement.
A
That
is
my
my
view,
because
we've,
given
this
a
couple
of
times
and
and
the
folks
who
there
was
one
person
who
showed
up
I,
think
each
time
and
and
I
think
at
the
at
the
end
of
these
last
this
last
hearing
the
person
seemed.
You
know:
okay,
with
the
compromise
of
10
pm
for
no
outdoor
music
as
a
okay
limit,
Jeff.
L
I
have
a
question
for
you.
Yes,
there's
only
three
directions:
we
can
go
here.
We
can't
make
an
amendment
to
this.
What
I'm,
what
I'm
thinking
is
I
would
like
to
make
I'm
gonna
call
it
a
conditional
amendment
that
we
do
this
for
one
year
to
give
Mr
Bentley
the
opportunity
to
show
that
he's
a
good
neighbor
I
think
that
would
be
a
fair
thing
to
do.
He
he's
shown
in
the
past
he's
really
not
willing
to
be
a
good,
neighbor
and
I
think
we
should
give
him
the
opportunity
to
do
so.
A
M
M
What
I
would
say
is
that
to
your
point
earlier,
certainly
the
license
could
be
at
stake
if
there
are
violations
to
it
or
violations
to
the
conditions,
so
that
would
certainly
be
one
recourse
if
he
did
not
live
up
to
the
to
the
conditions
regarding
the
music
at
10
o'clock,
a
second
recourse
could
be,
you
have
to
reapply
every
year
for
your
liquor
license.
M
So
if
there
was,
you
know,
for
some
reason
and
with
the
liquor
license
is
correct.
They
reapply
every
year.
So
if
there
was
an
issue
there,
there
could
also
be.
You
know
perhaps
some
question
as
to
whether
or
not
the
license
should
be
granted
or
reissued
or
or
extended
again.
But
if
you
wanted
to
actually
add
a
condition
like
that,
I
I
would
actually
suggest
that
you
table
this
until
the
next
meeting,
so
that
we
can
properly
determine
whether
or
not
how
we
would
do
that
and
how.
We
would
write
that.
Okay.
L
I
I
think
that,
with
the
the
knowledge
that
they
have
to
reapply
yearly,
I
think
that
covers
that,
in
my
mind,
I
do
correct
all.
M
D
So
liquor
licenses,
along
with
all
of
our
licenses
with
the
city,
have
to
renew
their
license
annually,
so
Cadillac
Jacks
would
have
to
renew
their
license
next
November
for
the
2024
calendar
year.
Okay,
so
we
can
review
it
at
that
time.
A
I
Thank
you
mayor
and
Council
just
a
reminder
to
the
community.
This
is
a
two-part
agenda
item.
One
portion
is
for
the
city's
portion
of
the
property
tax
levy
and
then
the
second
portion
is
for
the
library
and
I
know
that
there
are
brief
presentations
by
Scott,
Rathbun,
Finance,
director
and
Jeannie
Hamilton,
the
library
director,
but
just
as
a
reminder,
this
is
roughly
between
the
city
and
the
library.
Depending
on
the
school
district.
That's
attached
to
the
city
property
tax
bill.
I
We
are
15
or
16
of
the
total
property
tax
bill
for
the
city
portion.
We
are
proposing
that
we
maintain
the
property
tax
rate
but
capture
the
additional
revenues
generated
by
the
growth
in
the
community,
so
the
number
of
units
that
are
assessed
and
then
also
of
those
properties
that
were
reassessed,
the
increased
value
and
for
the
city's
portion,
that's
roughly
1.4
million
dollars
that
will
be
pledged
and
dedicated
to
paying
down
some
of
the
pension
obligation
for
both
the
police
and
the
fire
pensions.
I
And
if
there's
any
follow-up
questions
after
the
presentations,
we
as
staff
stand
ready,
Scott.
N
Thank
you,
city
manager,
mayor
council,
yes,
great
introductions
by
the
mayor
and
the
city
manager,
presenting
the
final
Levy
for
adoption
this
evening
for
the
library
and
the
city
as
third
Public
Presentation.
We
did
the
estimate
on
November
21st
and
had
a
public
hearing.
Hearing.
Excuse
me
on
December
5th.
Next
slide.
Please
so
what's
being
presented
is
a
1.4
million
dollar
increase
for
the
city
to
as
the
city
manager
mentioned,
would
be
restricted
for
utility
or
excuse
me
for
Public
Safety
pensions.
N
As
indicated
in
the
parentheses,
there
we've
been
utilizing
our
utility
Reserve
over
the
last
couple
years
and
that
is
currently
depleted.
The
library
168
000
for
operational
expansion
needs
as
a
reminder.
The
library
exists
pretty
much
solely
off
the
tax
levy
revenues
they
do
not
do
not
have
a
diverse
Revenue
base,
like
the
city
does,
with
our
sales
taxes
Etc
so
to
keep
Pace
with
inflation.
N
You
can
see
that
it
inflation-
you
know
eight
roughly
eight
percent
or
the
prior
year
that
this
is
someone
of
a
need,
and
then
the
library,
Debt
Service,
the
final
bond
for
the
expansion,
including
the
pool
the
O'neill
pool,
came
in
with
a
higher
rate
that
was
anticipated
last
year
during
this
Levy
time.
Next
slide,
please
so
for
the
city
to
just
dig
into
the
details,
slightly
we're
proposing
1.4
million
dollars,
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
dedicated
to
each
police
and
fire.
N
As
I
indicated,
we've
been
utilizing
over
a
million
dollars
in
the
utility
tax
Reserve.
Since
FY
2019.
I've
made
a
mistake
recently,
I
think
I
referenced
that
that
was
put
into
effect.
A
utility
tax
Reserve
utility
tax
increase
in
2016
was
actually
2014.
so
that
Reserve
built
over
a
few
years
and
we
started
using
it
back
in
2019.
N
N
So
you
know
a
couple
of
additional
comments:
utilizing
the
levy
to
to
fill
in
that
shortfall
that
does
provide
additional.
This
is
somewhat
budget
commentary
here,
but
it
does
provide
us
additional
dollars
available
to
address
roads
and
streets.
So
we're
trying
to
look
at
an
extra
two
to
three
million
dollars
above
ask
or
excuse
me
above
local
motor
fuel
tax
and
the
sales
tax.
So
it
provides
us
some
flexibility
there.
N
It
sends
a
strong
message
to
the
community
and
the
First
Responders
and
investors
that
we
are
serious
about
addressing
our
pension
liability,
which
is
coming
down
significantly,
but
it's
still
at
118
million
dollars
in
this.
This
most
recent
audit,
between
police
and
fire
and
and
for
the
new
revenues,
really
those
have
been
allocated
to
new
staff
and
again
we're
trying
to
utilize
some
of
those
towards
roads.
O
So
the
the
library
Levy
is
request
is
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
over
last
year,
so
the
majority
of
that
is
going
towards
the
14.2
million
dollar
bond
for
the
library,
expansion
and
renovation
that
was
approved
in
March.
O
The
way
a
bond
works
is
we're
supposed
to
have
pre-fund
each
Year's
costs,
and
so
last
year
we
were
a
little
short,
so
the
library
used
reserves
to
fill
in
the
Gap,
and
then
this
next
year,
looking
forward
we're
asking
for
the
levy
to
cover
that
that
increase
over
what
we
had
anticipated
at
this
time
last
year
and
then
the
the
rest
we're
asking
for
a
167
thousand
dollar
Revenue
growth
for
our
operating
budget,
as
Scott
mentioned
inflation's
at
eight
percent,
and
that
is
a
3.3
increase
in
property
taxes
for
our
operating
budget.
O
N
Okay,
next
slide,
please
so
while
they
are
two
separate
levies,
we
reference
the
combined
amounts
quite
often
so
this
this
exhibit
shows
a
combined
total
for
the
city
and
library
of
the
28.6
million
1.084
rate
for
the
city
0.3046
for
the
library-
and
you
can
see
there
with
the
projections
and
the
estimates
right
now,
we're
looking
at
a
slight
actual
decrease
in
the
rate
and
the
city
manager
mentioned
on
a
comparative
basis.
N
I
don't
have
the
dollar
bill
on
this
on
this
presentation,
but
it's
about
15
to
16
cents
or
percent,
depending
on
how
you
look
at
it
of
the
dollar
bill
when
we
show
those
dollar
bills
related
to
the
district
87,
taxing
total
and
the
unit.
Five
next
slide,
please.
N
So
at
this
point
in
time,
the
library
in
the
city
recommend
the
2022
final
Levy
be
approved
as
presented
and
we'll
pause
for
questions
and
discussion.
A
Sure
so,
at
this
time,
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
20
minutes
for
Council
questions,
discussions
and
like
to
know
how
many
people
would
like
to
speak,
at
least
so
that
we
have
a
reasonable
amount
of
time
for
everybody.
Okay,
okay,
so
we
have
one
two
three,
so
you
each
have
about
6.66
minutes
this
week.
E
B
C
A
E
F
Left,
thank
you
mayor
and
I'll.
Try
to
get
through
this
briefly
here.
F
So
the
argument
is
on
the
on
not
approving.
F
This
is
that
we
shouldn't
capture
the
full
eav
increase
in
our
property
tax
levy,
but
pay
for
first
responder
pensions
from
our
reserves
and
in
support
of
that
argument,
normal
is
given
as
an
example
of
a
community
that
did
not
take
the
increased
eav
value,
but
the
argument,
the
normal
lowered
its
rates,
so
we
should
too
gets
really
blown
up
when
we
look
at
normals
finances,
normal
has
an
operating
budget
of
77
million,
with
51
million
in
rent
reserves
compared
to
Bloomington
normals
bloomington's
budget
of
122
million,
which
is
50
million
more
than
normal,
with
only
reserves
of
36
million.
F
We
have
always
captured
the
eav
increases
in
our
Levy,
at
least
since
2019.
So
this
is
nothing
new.
We
also
know
that
inflation
just
doesn't
hit
our
residence,
but
the
city
as
well,
for
example
in
commodity
prices,
vehicle
prices
almost
any
purchase
yet
this
year,
instead
of
using
the
captured
increase
in
eav
value
for
expected
inflation.
The
city
is
using
this
for
our
first
responder
pensions.
Therefore,
we
may
need
to
use
our
reserves
to
pay
for
these
increased
costs
caused
by
inflations
inflations.
It's
not
about
too
much
taxes.
F
It's
about
what
services
are
received
for
the
taxes
that
are
paid
more
than
50
percent
of
our
operating
budget
goes
to
our
First
Responders.
We
are
just
talking
about
making
a
further
investment
and
our
First
Responders
and
the
pensions
they
are
entitled
to
by
passing.
This
will
be
at
a
higher
percentage
than
normal
and
having
our
pension
liabilities
fully
funded.
Our
residents
once
just
want
to
support
the
heart
and
sometimes
dangerous
work
of
our
First
Responders
by
supporting
them
after
they
retire.
F
So
then,
going
on
to
the
library,
tax
levy
and
and
Jeannie
talked
about
that,
and
and
basically
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
a
range
of
three
dollar
increase
for
a
fifty
thousand
dollar
home
thirteen
dollars
for
a
200
000
home,
and
let's
go
back
at
how
this
was
funded.
We've
got
a
5.68
million
Grant,
4.1
million
Library
Reserve
1.25
million
in
donations
and
then
the
4.2
million
bonds.
That
means
only
50
of
the
library
Renovations
are
funded
through
bonds.
That
is,
the
library
being
fiscally
responsible.
F
F
You
got
a
family
small
family
with
children,
you
know
and-
and
you
know,
you're
gonna
need
to
purchase
entertainment
on
things,
so
you
might
want
to
learn
about
transgender
rights
or
how
to
be
an
anti-racist.
Maybe
you
want
a
prescription.
That's
going
to
cost
you
fifty
dollars,
Christmas
movies,
like
Christmas
miracle
or
Die
Hard.
F
F
The
older
child
may
want
to
get
a
graphic
novel
about
the
gods
and
then,
of
course,
the
younger
children
too.
Small
Tola
would
be
good
for
girls
and
then
you
could
talk
about
Little
Shack
written
by
Shaquille
O'neal,
and
so
this
all
I
looked
it
up.
You
know
if
you
want
to
buy
it,
it's
like
200,
200,
okay.
F
O
F
And,
and
so
what
the
this
Library
expansion
is
doing,
is
giving
a
bigger
opportunity
for
people
to
get
things
that
they
made
of
not
otherwise
afford,
and
also,
if
you
look
with
this
expansion,
it's
more
of
a
destination
that
it
can
be
right.
So
you
don't
have
to
go
pay
money
for
a
movie
you're
going
to
have
expanded
children's
space.
Teenager
Space,
Nine
group
study
rooms,
maker
lab,
recording
studios,
Discovery
Zone.
It
goes
on
and
on
and
what
was
your
circulation
like
pre-pandemic,
like
1.2
million?
Something
like
that?
O
We
can
run
reports
on
that,
but
it's
it's
substantial
and
usually
I've
done
a
return
on
investment
for
the
community
and
I.
Think
last
time,
I
did
it.
It
was
about
four
four
to
one
so
for
every
dollar
invested
in
the
library
we
return
four
dollars
to
the
community.
It.
F
A
Thank
you,
councilman
award.
P
A
A
So
okay
motion
by
councilman
award
and
then
second
by
council,
member
Crumpler.
P
First
off
it
allows
us
to
be
faithful
to
our
pension
obligations
to
people
who
we
call
on
to
be
faithful
to
us
as
a
community
people
who
put
their
lives
on
the
line
every
hour
of
the
day,
just
as
I
was
coming
over
here
to
this
meeting
this
evening,
one
of
my
neighbors
had
a
first
responder
vehicle
outside
of
their
house.
I
hope,
she's.
P
I
am
voting
in
favor
of
this
because
the
library
serves
the
constituents
of
this
community
all
of
us,
but
especially
those
who
need
it
the
most.
In
terms
of
of
things
that
we
need
a
brick
and
mortar
place
in
terms
of
shelter,
it
was
pretty
darn
cold
today
and
I
was
really
glad
to
be
able
to
get
home
to
a
warm
house
and
I.
I
know
for
myself.
If
I
didn't
have
a
warm
place
to
be,
the
library
would
be
one
of
the
the
best
places
to
go
and
would
be
a
sacred
place
to
go.
P
It
would
be
a
clean
place
that
would
be
a
safe
place.
It
would
be
a
place
where
my
mind
would
be
nourished
as
well
as
my
body
kept
safe.
P
It
would
give
me
access
to
technology
if
I
couldn't
afford
it
myself.
I
am
so
grateful
for
the
opportunity
when
I
run
out
of
a
book
to
be
able
to
go,
buy
a
book
because
I
want
to,
but
better
yet
to
be
able
to
to
tap
into
it
through
technology
whenever
I
want
to
the
other
resources
that
are
available
along
those
lines
in
terms
of
Technology
the
educational
opportunities
for
people
who
need
it.
The
most.
P
Those
of
us
who
who
seem
to
be
complaining
about
this
oftentimes
are
not
the
ones
who
need
it,
the
most
the
people
who
who
need
access
to
these
resources.
I,
don't
see
them
standing
here,
complaining
about
about
what
we're
proposing
to
do
places
to
meet
safely
for
our
community
to
have
have
open
meetings
and
and
open
discussions,
a
place
where,
where
the
community
can
go
and
I,
don't
think,
there's
a
charge
for
those
meeting
spaces
right.
Where
else
can
you
go
to
to
as
a
community
member
that
doesn't
charge
you
to
to
gather?
P
I
think
we
need
to
all
take
into
account
the
fact
that,
yes,
inflation
is
high
right
now,
and
the
city
is
not
immune
from
inflation.
Costs
are
rising
for
City
Services
for
the
things
that
we
need
to
purchase.
Just
as
much
as
it
is
for
anybody
else,
it's
not
free
to
put
salt
on
the
road.
For
example,
it's
not
free
to
to
to
fill
potholes
many
people
week
after
week
raise
those
issues,
those
things
cost
money
and
those
those
prices
go
up.
P
Finally,
I
just
want
to
say
in
echoing
of
a
couple
of
people
who
spoke
last
week:
I
also
don't
like
to
have
to
pay
more
for
taxes.
I,
don't
like
it,
I,
don't
like
it
when
my
tax
bill
goes
up.
L
L
L
M
So
I
I
believe
the
motion
from
council
member
Ward
and-
and
you
can
correct
me
if
I
I
was
wrong,
but
was
just
for
the
the
city
Levy
and
the
library
Levy
or
what
are
both.
M
And
so
your
intent
is
the
library
and
the
city
Levy
would
both
be
approved
at
the
same
time.
Yes
and
the
second
was
council
member
Crumpler
and
you
were
okay
with
that
and
approved
that
second,
yes,
okay,
so
if
so,
that's
the
motion
on
the
table.
If
that
fails,
so
let's
say
you
want
to
vote
against
one
of
them,
but
not
the
other.
M
L
My
question
is
having
them
both
on
the
agenda
at
the
same
time,
I'm
concerned
that,
should
this
pass,
someone
would
be
able
to
come
back
and
say,
since
these
were
two
separate
public
hearings,
and
these
were
two
set.
These
are
two
separate
taxing
issues.
Can
we
have
them
on
an
agenda
as
one
item
which
is
how
they
are
listed
on
the
agenda.
M
L
L
M
It's
not
uncommon
for
us
to
have
one
agenda
item
but
to
have
multiple
things
under
that
agenda
item,
so
this
would
be
just
be
an
example
of
that,
so
the
the
jit
look
at
it
as
this
is
the
general
item
is
the
levees
and
then
we've
got
the
city
Levy
and
we've
got
the
library
Levy
okay,
so
that
that
is
how
that
would
be
viewed.
Okay,.
L
Thank
you
Scott.
L
Are
there
other
ways
in
which
we
are
currently
paying
pension
obligations
so
to
and
I
asked
that,
because
it's,
this
is
being
portrayed
that
those
who
are
against
this
seem
to
be
against
First
Responders
and
that's
wrong,
that
and
and
that's
being
completely
wrong
and
how
that's
being
portrayed
and
I
take
great
offense
to
that.
So
are
there
ways
Beyond
property
taxes
that
this
increase
to
the
pension
fund
can
be
paid.
L
N
E
K
N
Away
so
we
have
to
make
that
up,
and
so
the
question
then
becomes
to
make
it
up.
You
know
versus
other
Council
initiatives
or
desires.
Do
we
want
to
do
two
to
three
million
dollars
more
in
roads,
et
cetera,
et
cetera?
Then
that's
where
the
discussion
comes
into
play?
Okay,
but
but
you
we
could
utilize
other
revenues.
How.
L
N
I
I
can't
say
that
right
now,
revenues
are
doing
really
well
we're
having
a
delayed
impact
on
it
from
inflation.
So
that's
if
we're
gonna
I'll
make
a
couple
comments.
So
last
year's
add
to
reserves
to,
in
my
opinion,
was
an
anomaly
related
to
the
federal
stimulus,
so
income
taxes
replacement
taxes,
which
is
a
form
of
income
taxes.
All
tax
revenues
were
through
the
roof.
You
know
the
economy
was
hot.
That's
why
the
fed's
doing
what
it's
doing
now.
So
that
is
not
a
consistent
addition
to
to
reserves.
N
We
were
averaging
a
little
over
like
2.5
2.6
million
dollars
in
the
prior
prior
couple
of
years
to
last
year
in
adding
to
reserves
this
year.
Our
revenues
are
doing
they're,
they're,
pretty
hot
right
now,
because
of
inflation,
so
people
are
still
buying
the
same
quantity
of
items
they're
paying
more,
but
you
know
the
who's
going
to
drop
on
that,
in
my
opinion,
at
some
time,
so
the
cost-
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
items.
We
can't
even
buy
right
now,
eventually
we're
going
to
have
to
try
to
find
a
way
to
buy
those.
N
So
looking
at
the
revenues,
it
looks
like
we're
going
to
add
to
reserves
this
year,
but
I
still
think
that
inflation
is
really
going
to
come
back
and
hit
us
hard
and
and
I
don't
have
any
idea
right
now,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
my
opinion.
Professional
I
guess
comment
is
last
year's
Reserve
edition
of
reserves
was
kind
of
a
one-time
deal
related
to
the
federal
5
trillion
dollars,
which
hasn't
even
all
gone
out
yet
in
stimulus
dollars.
So.
L
You
need
to
worry
about
the
loan
I'm
gonna
skip
for
just
a
second,
because
I
need
to
piggyback
here
for
just
a
moment
in
the
next
item.
Are
we
being
asked
to
pay
7.3
million
dollars
in
bonds?
No.
N
No
that's
jumping
ahead,
so
abatements
so
like
when
we
issue
bonds,
part
of
the
the
the
compliance
the
language
and
those
ordinances
says,
we're
going
to
utilize
our
strongest
form
of
Taxation,
which
is
the
levy
to
pay
for
those
bonds.
We
don't
do
that,
though.
N
It's
like
the
sewer,
if
the
sewer
has
some
bonds
they
pay
for
that
out
of
sewer
fees,
we
raise
the
sales
tax
back
in
2016
portion
of
that
was
for
the
arena
Bond
and
for
the
bcpa
bond,
so
those
bonds
are
paid
with
sales
tax
and
then
we
just
source
for
the
rest.
So
that
is
we're
basically
telling
the
investment
Community.
We
got
seven
million
dollars
available
from
other
funds.
Besides
the
levy
to
pay
for
these
bonds,
okay,.
L
L
Right,
thank
you.
I
just
go
back
to
feed
me
we're
becoming
you
know.
My
We
are
Becoming
Audrey
too,
and
and
there
there
is
no
comparison
to
to
normal
it'd,
be
interesting
to
see
the
tax
per
citizen
when
you
compare
Bloomington
to
normal.
So
thank
you.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you
so
at
this
point
we
have
reached
the
end
of
our
time
on
this
item,
but
is
there
emotion
to
continue
I.
A
E
A
You
is
there
a
second.
A
All
right,
we.
E
C
A
B
In
2016,
the
city's
budget
was
in
the
180
million
dollar
range
that
came
to
78
343
or
on
a
population
of
78
343
people
that
was
about
2
306
dollars
per
person
that
we
were
running
the
city
of
Bloomington
this
year
with
the
current
budget
that
has
increased
to
269
million,
which
is
per
person,
3
436
dollars.
B
I
I
just
offer
that
as
context
absent
a
constraint
or
any
shared
belief
system
that
there
should
be
some
boundaries
upon
which
it
is
fair
to
tax
the
folks
who
live
here
that
we
should
come
to
some
consensus,
that
we
should
look
for
opportunities
to
reverse
that
Trend.
That
Trend
far
exceeds
inflation,
and
it
certainly
far
exceeds
what
I
think
we
could
be
running
the
city
operations
for
and
doing
an
outstanding
job
in
turn.
So
I
just
offer
that
for
context,
there
are
other
opportunities
for
us
to
fund
fully
the
public
safety
pensions.
B
N
I
I
actually
have
run
those
numbers
you
asked
about
that
before.
So
just
I
don't
want
to
get
into
Point
Counterpoint
I,
but
I
do
want
to
emphasize
that
the
total
budgets
include
the
capital
projects.
So
that's
what
the
huge
deviation
between
2016
and
2023
is
a
20
million
dollar
capital
projects
total
for
2016
and
a
57
million
dollar
capital
projects
total
for
2023..
So
when
you
adjust
for
those
capital
projects
it
it
does
normalize
that
growth
quite
a
lot.
So
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
in
context.
Okay,.
Q
Just
real,
quick
and-
and
these
points
have
been
made
but
I
think
councilmember
crabill
made
this
point
early-
is
that
you
know
at
the
retreat.
We
all
agreed
that
we
want
to
support
our
First
Responders,
and
everybody
has
said
that
so
acknowledging
that
and
also
acknowledging
councilmember
Walsh,
who
said
that
a
vote
against
this
is
not
a
vote
against
that,
because
we
as
a
council
will
support
the
pensions
for
our
First
Responders
I
I,
don't
see
any
way
that
that
doesn't
happen.
Q
Second
comment
is:
is
more
in
line
with
council
member
montney,
where
I
believe
that
we
can,
because
of
the
Excellence
of
our
finance
staff-
and
that
is
meant,
is
a
true
compliment.
We
can
manage
this
without
that
increase.
Q
I,
really
believe
we
can
in
the
businesses
that
I
run
I
manage
them
that
way
by
decreasing
costs
and
and
increasing
efficiency,
rather
than
trying
to
raise
the
revenue
in
some
cases,
when
you
have
no
choice
so
I
believe
there
are
alternatives
to
this
increase
and
I
believe
it
can
be
done
and
still
provide
the
same
level,
the
same
Services
even
at
a
better
level
for
less
money.
That's
why
I'm
against
it.
A
Okay
sounds
good,
I
think
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
vote
now.
A
E
A
A
resolution
abating
tax
levy
for
rent
payable
and
the
lease
agreement
between
the
public
building,
commission,
McLean
County
and
the
city
of
Bloomington
for
the
old
Champion
building
and
the
expansion
of
the
parking
garage,
as
requested
by
the
finance
department
and
I,
am
going
to
turn
it
over
to
city
manager.
Gleason
for
introductory
remarks,.
I
Thank
you
mayor
and
Council.
A
very
brief
comment.
This
is
ground
that
Scott
actually
had
covered
a
little
bit
and
I
know
he
might
have
some
additional
comments,
but
8B
is
similar
to
8A
in
that
there
are
two
resolutions
that
can
be
found
in
your
packets,
like
there
were
two
ordinances
that
could
be
found
in
the
packet
under
8A.
This
could
be
approved
by
two
motions
for
two
resolutions,
or
one
motion
for
both
resolutions
is
the
only
comment.
I
was
going
to
add
Scott.
N
Thank
you,
city
manager.
Next
slide,
please,
as
I
indicated
previously,
the
the
ordinances
and
the
covenants
related
to
issuements
of
bonds
and
leases.
Many
times
reference,
the
city's
Avail
available
ability
to
Levy
taxes
and
the
levy
is
the
strongest
tax
available,
and
so
those
those
are
always
incorporated
into
those
documents.
So
every
year
we
have
this.
This
housekeeping
these
housekeeping
resolutions
so
related
to
the
total,
that's
captured
and
all
those
some
of
them
are
very
old
documents.
N
N
Just
so
it's
it's
more,
it's
clear
to
the
the
community,
so
it
basically
says
that
we
have
we
even
those
were
captured
in
the
original
covenants.
We
have
to
legally
provide
these
resolutions
saying
we're
not
going
to
pay
them
from
the
levy
so
I
mentioned,
we
have
sewer
bonds,
we
have
sales
tax
part
of
the
home
rule
increase
in
2016
was
related
to
the
arena
and
the
bcpa.
N
So
this
is
just
a
housekeeping
resolutions
that
we
have
our
bond
Council
review
and
update
for
us
and
improve
them
every
year,
because
we're
only
we're
levying
for
about
960
I,
think
969
thousand
dollars
worth
of
bond
payments,
because
there's
substantial
amounts
that
are
being
paid
by
other
Revenue
source.
So
again,
sorry
about
that
this.
This
has
no
impact
on
the
levy
itself.
It's
just
a
legal
document,
a
legal
housekeeping
item
that
we
have
to
go
through
every
year.
So
next
slide
please.
N
So
my
recommendation
is
that
we
approve
the
levy
tax
abatement
for
a
total
of
7.3
million
dollars.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
We
have
allotted
three
minutes
for
questions
on
this
one
so
divided
by
nine.
That's
20
seconds.
Each.
A
G
N
No,
no,
it's
not
it's
not
coming
out
of
anything.
It's
just!
It's
just
a
legal
message
to
the
investment
community
that
we're
refining,
seven
million
dollars
from
other
sources
other
than
the
levy.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
there's
there's
sewer
payments
there's
the
arena,
so
it's
coming
from
various
funds
coming
from,
but
it's
I
mean
these
are
these?
Are
debt
payments
they're
just
not
being
paid
from
the
levy.
N
Part
part
of
it
so
like
the
PBC
lease
there's
an
exhibit
in
there
that
that
is
like
part
of
the
original
Lisa
Mouse
we're
down
to,
because
it
was
an
estimate,
the
the
lease
is
basically
paid
off,
but
it's
the
Opera
operations,
management
or
maintenance.
I
can't
get
the
word
out
so
we're
down
to
like
a
half
million.
So
even
though
it
says
we're
abating,
917
thousand
dollars,
our
our
budget
is
a
half
million
dollars.
N
N
F
Very
quickly,
I
just
want
to
emphasize.
You
were
talking
about
Investors
right,
looking
at
the
study
using
other
funds
right
other
than
debt
right
or
bonds
to
pay
right
and-
and
this
looks
better
to
investors
more
likely
for
them
to
invest
in
our
bonds
and
potentially
also
help
with
whatever
interest
rate
am
I.
N
Well,
I
made
that
comment
related
to
The,
Levy
and
and
showing
I
I
have
made
that
the
dedication
to
pensions
and
because
that
is
a
highly
reviewed
part
of
the
rating
process.
You
know
your
pension
liability,
these
abatements,
they
don't
necessarily
impact
investors,
but
you
need
to
file
them
so
that
they,
you
know
they
say
they
see
you're
in
compliance
with
your
original
documentation.
You
know
you're
keeping
up
to
date
on
everything.
So
you
know
your
tried
and
true
kind
of
gotcha.
F
L
L
Thank
you,
I'm
still
trying
to
wrap
my
head
around
this
one
educate
me.
So
we've
got
7.3
million
there
in
in
payments.
That
we
need
to
make
give
or
take.
Is
that
correct,
I'm.
N
Gonna
I'm
gonna
use
the
the
PBC,
which
is
the
government
center
right
and
the
link
as
an
example,
so
in
the
original
documentation,
the
legal
documentation
that
was
signed
and
file
with
the
county
clerk,
it
said
for
this
coming
year,
we'd
owed
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Okay,
okay,
we
only
our
expectation
is,
is
going
to
be
something
different
than
that
based
on
maintenance,
but
that
documentation
reference
that
we'd
be
paying
for
that
out
of
our
Levy,
that
we
would
Levy
for
it.
N
So
what
we're
doing
here
is
just
saying
we're
not
going
to
love
you
for
this
we're
going
to
find
the
money
somewhere
else.
I
promise.
Okay,
all
right!
That's
what
the
city
is
committing
to
here
is
we
promise
we're
going
to
find
these
dollars
somewhere
else,
but
the
what
I
want
to
emphasize,
though,
is
that
7.3
that
doesn't
match
exactly
to
our
our
debt
service
right.
N
No,
the
the
this,
the
7.3
million,
is
the
the
total
of
all
the
different
debts.
We
have
on
file
with
the
county
right
of
what
we
it
says,
we're
going
to
owe
in
the
coming
year.
Okay,
so
that's
just
like
a
it's.
A
futuristic
amount
that
Saint
that's
that's
been
captured
at
the
count
at
the
clerk
level
view
these
agreements.
It
says
we
owe
7.3
million
and
we've
promised
to
pay
it
out
of
our
Levy.
L
All
right,
so
we've
got
7.3
million,
give
or
take
there
that
we're
not
going
to
be
paying
out
of
our
property
tax
levy.
We've
got
other
sources,
yes,
okay
of
the
items
that
we're
paying
that
that
our
our
bond
payments
Etc.
How
many
of
those
items
were
things
that
we
passed,
that
that
the
council
passed
the
property
tax
increase
in
order
to
pay
those
bonds.
N
L
N
A
A
I
Thank
you,
mayor
and
Council
I
know
that
we're
an
hour
into
the
meeting,
but
this
is
10
or
15
minutes
that,
hopefully
the
council
finds
very
enjoyable.
The
community
appreciates
and
it's
something
that
as
staff
we're
very
proud
of.
We
understand
when
we
talk
about
roads
and
sidewalks
or
asphalt
and
concrete
that
the
city,
council
and
staff
are
under
intense
scrutiny
to
keep
up,
and
you
know
possibly
Advance.
I
You
know
our
our
yearly
totals
of
repair
work
that
we
do,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
that
we've
done
have
taken
at
the
end
of
every
construction
season
since
2018,
trying
to
increase
that
awareness
of
what
actually
is
being
accomplished.
Kevin
kothy's,
the
Public
Works
director.
He
does
a
great
job,
but
this
is
also
an
opportunity
to
recognize
the
prime
contractors,
the
outside
subcontractors,
the
local
union
halls,
our
Public
Works
staff,
obviously,
and
all
the
different
city
departments
that
have
a
a
hand
in
exactly
what
you're
about
to
see.
I
R
Thank
you,
city
manager,
mayor
and
council
members
for
allowing
us
to
present
the
year-end
wrap-up
for
the
2022
calendar
year
roadwork.
My
thanks
to
the
many
staff
involved
in
putting
together
this
presentation
with
a
special
shout
out
to
Michael
Hillen
Public
Works.
We
have
70
slides
with
pictures
and
video
clips
to
share
with
you
tonight
in
roughly
seven
minutes.
There
are
a
lot
of
good
pictures
that
tell
the
story
of
the
labor
materials
and
equipment
used
to
resurface
and
maintain
our
roads.
Next
slide.
R
Information
about
City
projects,
including
the
street
work,
can
be
found
on
the
city's
website
and
there's
also
shortcuts.
If
you
go
to
bloomingtonstreets.com
Bloomington
underground.com
you'll
find
Project

out
there
that
include
road
construction
with
interactive
maps,
and
citizens
can
sign
up
for
email
or
SMS
text
notification
updates
through
the
website.
So
a
lot
of
good
information
kept
out
there
on
the
websites
next
slide,
please
starting
off
Public
Works
streets
and
sewers
Crews
work
on
many
types
of
repairs,
from
sewers
to
inlets,
from
potholes
to
permanent,
pothole,
patching
and
general
street
patches.
R
That
many
times
are
from
utility
repairs.
These
pictures
you're
seeing
show
part
of
the
payment
being
replaced
on
Center
Street,
just
north
of
Jefferson
after
water
Cruise,
completed
repairs
and
backfilled
the
excavation
many
thanks
to
the
public
service
Crews,
who
work
hard
to
maintain
our
infrastructure,
including
the
city
streets.
R
This
map
shows
the
FY
22
resurfacing
work
that
was
completed
this
summer.
A
lot
of
this
work
started
the
prior
year.
This
one
shows
in
red
the
FY
23
resurfacing,
contract
work,
that's
under
contract
right
now,
and
then
this
map
shows
in
blew
the
streets
with
the
resurfacing
for
or
I'm
sorry,
payment
preservation,
and
then
this
list
is
the
streets
that
were
going
to
be
done
yet
in
the
FY
23
year.
R
As
of
the
spring,
the
video
here
shows
a
lot
of
the
different
operations
right
now
you
see
the
Milling
going
on
a
street
and
then
the
the
old
Street
surface
is
hauled
off
in
the
trucks
that
that
material
is
actually
recycled.
And
here
you
see
a
curb
machine.
Pouring
some
replacement
curb
a
saw,
cutting
a
a
Concrete
saw,
cutting
out
for
a
lay
down
or
a
driveway,
the
pavers
that
lay
the
asphalt,
the
the
rollers
that
finish
out
rolling
the
asphalt
a
lot
of
video
here.
R
That
shows
a
lot
of
the
operations
that
go
into
making
a
new
new
asphalt
surface
on
a
street.
Here
you
see,
the
inspector
is
checking
the
depth
of
the
asphalt
going
down
to
make
sure
it's
the
proper
thickness
and
and
these
these
pavers
do
a
good
job
of
providing
the
right
thickness
and
a
good
surface
to
drive
on
a
lot
a
lot
of
nice
video
here.
That
really
tells
the
story
about
resurfacing
the
streets.
R
Here
you
see
the
streets
in
alphabetical
order
that
were
done
this
year,
and
these
pictures
show
once
again
the
the
different
operations
for
the
streets
from
Milling
to
Rolling,
to
placing
the
asphalt
there's,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
go
into
the
street
resurfacing.
Besides,
what
you're
seeing
here
that
include
Inlet
and
manhole
adjustments
spot
curb
Replacements
the
sidewalk
work,
repairs
to
the
subgrade
here
as
a
picture
that
shows
a
concrete
street.
That
was
resurfaced.
R
It's
part
of
Emerson
that
was
the
bad
joints
in
the
concrete
that
were
patched
before
the
new
asphalt
went
down
here.
You
can
see
the
sidewalk
being
replaced
along
part
of
Gridley
as
part
of
that
work
as
part
of
the
resurfacing,
we
do
bring
the
sidewalk
ramps
into
ADA.
Compliance
is
required
by
the
you
know,
the
Ada
act
and
we
also
work
to
to
fix
a
mid-block
sidewalks,
as
we
can
to
give
a
passable
route.
That's
ADA
Compliant,
with
resurfacing.
R
Besides
the
the
milling-
and
here
you
see
the
street
sweeping
after
the
Milling
to
clean
up
the
loose
material.
That's
left,
as
as
staff
prepares
to
bid
out
the
work
we
have
cores
taken
of
the
side
or
of
this
street
pavement.
You
know
to
assess
how
how
much
payment
there
is,
and
it's
quality
using
that
information.
Our
engineers
and
technicians
figure
out
how
much
Milling
to
be
done
on
each
Street,
how
much
asphalt
to
place
back,
usually
in
two
lifts,
and
so
a
lot
of
times.
R
You'll
see
like
here
the
milled
surface,
the
binder
that's
on
the
first
layer
of
asphalt,
and
then
here
you
can
see
the
the
TAC
coat
that
that
binds
the
surface
coat
to
the
to
the
binder
layer.
Also,
on
that
picture
was
a
a
product
that
is
longitudinal
joint
seal
that
we
use
to
put
in
between
the
layers
of
asphalt
at
the
cold
joint
that
helps
to
keep
that
surface
from
unraveling
many
times,
you'll
see
on
an
older
asphalt
street
that
the
cold
joint
at
the
center
of
of
the
lanes
starts
to
come
apart.
R
First,
the
these
newer
products,
like
longitudinal
joint
seal,
we're
using
that
to
our
advantage
to
help
make
that
road
last
longer,
and
once
again,
you
can
see
here
we're
already
down
to
the
R's
and
a
lot
of
streets
that
were
done
this
year,
both
residential
streets
and
a
lot
of
arterials
and
collectors
as
well.
R
So
once
again,
just
a
lot
of
good
work
done
this
year
on
the
streets
soon,
here
we're
going
to
switch
into
our
sidewalks,
which
are
besides
the
resurfacing
work.
There's
other
sidewalk
work
that
goes
on
and
you
know
that's
that's
critical,
like
I
say
to
to
comply
with
Ada
as
we
bring
these
streets
up.
You
know
upgrade
with
the
resurfacing
you'll
notice
in
the
pictures,
the
truncated,
domes,
the
red,
truncated
domes
and
the
corners.
So
so
here
you
see
a
focus
just
on
on
sidewalk
work.
R
We
have
a
contractor
that
we
hire
specifically
to
take
care
of
the
sidewalk
program
and
they
do
a
lot
of
great
work
around
town.
Obviously,
there's
a
lot
of
Need
for
sidewalk.
We
have
our
sidewalk
master
plan
that
identified
that,
but,
as
time
goes
on,
you
know,
sidewalk
continues
to
deteriorate
too.
So
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
good
work
with
the
sidewalks.
We
also
did
you
know
some
work
in
the
downtown
area
with
the
Route
66
parklet,
that's
what
you're
seeing
here
is.
R
Is
you
know
a
nice
feature
downtown
that
was
added,
took
out
a
couple
parking
stalls
and
added
some
benches.
After
all,
the
concrete
was
poured
and
finished
here
turned
out
very
nice
on
Main
Street,
just
north
of
Jefferson,
in
addition
to
sidewalk
work.
We
also-
and
here
you
can
see
the
some
concrete
work-
that's
being
done.
We're
coming
up
on
some
work
that
is,
is
pavement
patching,
which
involves
repairs
to
streets
that
doesn't
necessarily
entail
resurfacing.
R
The
entire
Street
here's
some
pavement
patching
that
was
done
on
Brown
Street,
where
the
concrete
fell
apart
and
we
had
a
contractor,
go
in
and
replace
a
section
of
Brown
Street
didn't
do
the
whole
street
didn't
resurface
it,
but
actually
replace
the
bad
bad
concrete
that
was
out
there.
We
did
that
not
only
on
on
Brown
Street,
but
we
did
some
patching
out
by
2100
East,
which
is
a
road
out
by
The
Grove
there.
You
can
see
that
we
also
worked
on
some
concrete
pavement
on
Hershey
Road
up
by
Meyer.
R
That
was
bad
joints
and
replaced
that.
So
you
can
see
that
that
you
know
the
it's
not
just
strictly
resurfacing,
but
it's
a
lot
of
other
work
that
we
do
to
make
our
roads
last
longer
and
be
in
better
shape.
Here's
the
work
on
Hershey
by
Meyer
and
then
we're
coming
up
to
Locust
Colton
real
quick
here
and
a
lot
of
you
are
familiar
with
Locust
Colton
project.
R
That's
primarily
related
to
the
you
know:
the
infrastructure,
that's
underground,
with
new
water
or
new
sewers,
but
in
doing
that
we
also
have
to
you
know,
replace
roads
and
and
sidewalks
and
so
forth.
So
this
is
the
Locust
Colton
work
and-
and
so
that's
all
part
of
it
as
well.
We
we
bid
all
these
different
projects.
We
have
different
contractors
that
work
on
this
stuff.
We
invited
a
lot
of
these
contractors
to
come
tonight.
R
Most
of
them
could
not
make
it
tonight,
but
certainly
they'll
be
watching
in
the
community
we'll
be
watching,
and
we
just
want
to
acknowledge
all
the
all
the
good
work
they
do,
not
not
just
the
one
component
of
resurfacing,
but
all
these
components
here
you
can
see
with
the
Lucas
Colton
they
put
down
some
fabric
that
reinforces
the
subgrades.
It
helps
make
the
road
last
longer
so
right.
There
we're
done
with
70
slides
just
like
that.
Okay.
A
R
A
I
Just
real
quick
mayor,
one
nice
job
Kevin,
we
actually
trimmed
this
presentation
down
a
little
bit
given
the
content
of
the
council
meeting,
so
we
did
covered
a
whole
lot
of
ground
in
a
short
amount
of
time.
I
I
also
want
to
recognize
you
know
the
elected
again
and
provide
a
Victory
lap
for
all
of
you,
and
also
for
the
staff
that
are
involved
in
this
and
want
the
community
to
truly
see
the
pledge
and
the
dedication
to
the
asphalt
and
concrete
projects
around
the
city,
then
also
in
2023
council's
made
it
very
clear
that
asphalt
and
concrete
projects,
streets
and
sidewalk
projects
are
a
priority
and
have
dedicated
more
funds
to
this,
and
we
look
forward
to
delivering
in
this
time
next
year,
showing
even
more
being
accomplished.
A
Awesome,
thank
you.
Do
we
have
comments
from
Council
councilmani.
B
So
in
all
how
how
many
miles
did
we
repay
this
year.
R
I
I
don't
have
that
number
for
you
tonight
We've.
As
you
know,
we
we
did
our
resurfacing
work
by
physical
year,
so
FY
22
was
finished.
This
summer
we
started
getting
into
FY
23
this
year,
so
there
there's
a
mix
there
so
I,
because
you
know
with
our
physical
year
starting
May
1st
a
lot
of
times
the
the
contracts
don't
wrap
up
until
the
following
year,
so
you're
actually
seeing
a
combination
of
FY,
22
and
fy23
by
contract.
R
We
have
those
totals
we'd
have
to
do
some
work
to
figure
out
exactly
what
was
done.
This
construction
season.
B
In
terms
of
the
red
lines
on
the
chart,
yeah
have
you
tallied
those
up,
I
I.
B
B
If
we
did
roughly
the
same,
I
mean,
let's
just
consider,
we
did
roughly
the
same
I
mean
that's
less
than
two
percent
of
the
lane
miles
that
we
have
here
in
Bloomington.
So
you
know
when
I
think
about
Our
obligation
to
this
community
and
why
there's
so
much
noise
around
the
streets,
I
think
apwa,
the
trade
Association
and
other
sources
kind
of
evaluate
pavement
to
last.
Roughly,
you
know,
25
years
and
we're
teaching
we're
touching
our
roads
with
repavement
once
every
56
years,
so
we're
losing
ground.
B
Actually,
at
least
it
appears
we're
losing
ground.
Overall,
it's
just
a
comment:
I'm
just
checking
to
see,
if
that's
how
you
see
it
or
if
there's
some
other
data
point
such
as
the
percentage
of
streets
that
are
currently
rated
in
that
fair
or
below
category.
If,
if
I'm
missing
something.
R
Yeah,
the
the
you
know,
life
of
the
streets
varies
so
much
between.
You
know,
asphalt
and
concrete
how
thick
it
is,
whether
it's
you
know
on
a
residential
street
or
arterial
and
so
forth.
There's
a
lot
of
variables
there
and,
as
we
get
you
know
with
our
software
programs,
we
get
more
data
points
in
that
software
program.
We
should
be
able
to
give
a
much
better
assessment
of
of
what
you're
asking
for.
R
As
far
as
you
know,
the
our
our
actual
experience
in
Bloomington
I
I,
can
tell
you
that
you
know.
There's
there's
some
streets
like,
for
instance,
a
section
of
bun
that
was
last
resurfaced
in
1978
hasn't
been
resurfaced
since,
but
and
it's
not
horrible
either.
So
there
there
are
some
outliers
that
last
really
long.
There
are
also
some
that,
don't
last
as
long
so
I
I
don't
have
a
good
good
answer
for
you
right
now,.
R
Yes,
absolutely
and
that
that
helps
the
payment
preservation
helps
to
extend
the
life
of
our
payments.
You
know
they
say
the
right
treatment
at
the
right
time.
Can
you
know,
do
a
lot
just
like
it
at
your
home
right,
you
you,
you
know
if
you
have
siding,
that
is
the
older
style
it
has
to
be
painted.
If
you
keep
up
with
it,
you
know
you
can
keep
wood
and
painted
siding
for
for
decades,
right,
even
even
potentially
centuries
if
it's
kept
up.
R
But
if
it's
not
kept
up,
you
you
know
end
up
having
to
replace
it
or
sections
of
it
and
that
type
of
thing,
so
we
try
to
do
our
best
to
keep
up
with
roads
and
keep
them.
You
know
where
they
before
they
really
fall
apart.
Okay,.
B
You
so
I've
been
seeing
and
have
had
some
residents
reach
out
about
sinkholes
in
the
pavement
and
I
think
there
was
some
exchange
with
your
department
a
few
months
ago,
as
we
checked
into
that,
and
at
that
point
it
seemed
to
be
a
growing
problem
that
in
certain
areas
of
the
pavement
up
near
gutters
and
curbs,
and
things
like
that,
I
think
at
that
point
we
had
amassed
about
a
hundred
I
think
the
number
maybe
was
118
of
these
sinkholes.
B
Where
we
have
you
know
the
the
little
warning
bear
crates
being
put
up.
Can
you
give
an
update
on
how
that's
going?
How
many
of
those
do
we
still
have
remaining
to
repair.
R
We
we've
been
making
progress
on
those
I,
I,
don't
know
the
number
right
now
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
know
that
our
our
Public
Service
streets
and
sewers
Crews
have
been
working
hard
to
to
get
those
caught
up,
they're
still
barricades
that
have
been
out
there
for
a
year
that
need
to
be
addressed,
but
we're
working
to
try
to
get
to
them.
You
know
the
sinkholes
vary
depending
in
some
cases.
It's
you
know,
just
an
inlet
and
a
pretty
simple
repair.
R
B
R
To
be
looked
at
separately
and
assessed
and
and
the
repairs
made,
so
it
does
take
some
time.
B
R
Our
engineering
division
Works
closely
with
the
public
service
streets
and
sewers
and
makes
assessments
most
the
time
you
know
when
there
is
a
sinkhole
or
whatever
immediate
need
that
needs
attention.
Our
Public
Service
streets
and
sewers
they'll
they'll
place
a
barricade
and
make
that
initial
assessment
of
you
know
televising
the
sewer
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
exact
problem
is,
the
nature
of
the
problem
and
then
depending
on
the
nature
of
the
problem
and
what
that
fix,
might
be
our
streets
and
sewers.
R
Crews
are
kept
very
busy
all
the
time,
as
you
know,
with
all
the
barricades
out
there
to
get
those
repairs
done
in
some
cases
because
of
the
depth
of
the
sewer,
the
complexity
of
the
repair,
it
will
be
turned
over
to
a
contractor
with
you
know
the
streets
as
far
as
the
payments
and
so
forth,
same
type
of
thing,
they'll
go
out
and
do
you
know
repairs
like
on
on
Center
Street,
where
we
had
the
water
Crews
doing
you
know,
repair
work
out
there
or
they'll
fix
most
of
those,
but
you
know
typically
the
stuff
that's
given
to
contractors
to
do
is
because
we
don't
necessarily
have
the
equipment
or
the
Manpower
or
the
expertise
to
deal
with
it,
but
we
certainly
keep
our
our
crews
busy
all
the
time
with
all
the
repairs
that
need
to
be
done.
S
Thank
you
mayor,
thanks
Kevin.
This
is
for
that
this
evening,
it's
clear
to
me
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
going
on
I
just
have
one
quick
antidote
that
I
want
to
relate
to
you.
I
had
a
member
of
my
ward
contacted
me
about
two
weeks
ago,
and
there
was
a
sewer
right
down
the
street
from
his
home
that
had
was
really
deteriorating.
There
was
a
saw
Horse
by
it
and
he
was
driving
by
in
the
work
on
his
way
to
work
and
wanting
to
reap
getting
to
saw
her
standing
back
up.
S
I
contacted
Public
Works.
You
know
that
this
was
going
on
and
within
within
two
days.
I
got
a
message
back
that
he
was
number
10
on
the
list
and
then
earlier,
at
the
end
of
last
week,
a
crew
from
Public
Works
was
out.
There
had
was
beginning
to
repair
this
spot,
and
so
he
contacted
me
this
morning
and
and
thanked
me
for
getting
that
done.
I
know
this
is
just
one
example,
but
I
just
want
to
point
out.
There
are
good
things
going
on.
A
Thank
you
and
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
Kevin
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done
being
the
senior
member
on
this
Council
I
I,
remember
years,
where
we
didn't
spend
as
much
money
on
you
know,
Street,
repair
and
I
know
that
we
have
increased
that
significantly
over
the
years
and
and
I
I
also
know
that
when
we
do
that
it
adds
more
on
your
plate
as
staff
members.
That
means
that
you
have
a
lot
more
to
to
monitor
to
work
on
with
contractors.
A
L
Mayor
I
have
one
one
question,
obviously,
with
more
money
you
could
do
more
or
we
could
have
contractors
do
more,
but
in
order
to
really
have
contractors
do
more,
we
still
have
the
the
Bloomington
preference
on
ordinance
that
it's
something
that
this
Council
would
need
to
address
when
it
comes
to
road
work
in
order
to
really
truly
go
out
and
spend
more
money
and
get
more
miles
done
each
year.
Is
that
correct.
R
There's
there's
some
truth
there,
and
just
so
everybody
knows
the
FY
23b.
If
you
will,
the
roughly
two
million
dollar
resurfacing
work
is
out
for
is
going
to
be
out
for
bid
this
month
and
because
it's
using
arpa
money,
the
local,
the
council's
local
preference,
doesn't
apply.
Okay,
so
this
this
bid
will
kind
of
test
the
water
so
to
speak.
R
If
there
are
the
other
contractors
that
are
out
there,
if
they're
interested
in
in
a
smaller
contract,
whether
they
be
out
of
town
or
other
local
contractors,
will
see
what
we
get
for
bids.
R
A
Okay,
thank
you,
and
this
item
was
presentation
only
so
we
are
going
to
move
on
to
item
number
nine
on
the
agenda.
Thank
you
Kevin
and
which
is
a
city
manager's
discussion.
I
I
should
have
said
this
on
the
front
end,
but
my
the
reason
I'm
joining
virtually
is
I
had
a
direct
covet
exposure
I
do
not
have
covered
nor
do
I
have
any
symptoms.
I
could
be
there
with
a
mask
on,
but
I
just
thought
why?
Why
take
the
chance
setting
as
closely
as
I
do
to
everyone
I
think
I've
got
five
slides.
I
have
a
stocking
stuff
for
Saturday.
Is
that
the
first
slide,
and
that
is
December
17th
this
coming
Saturday?
I
It's
stocking
stuffers
shop,
small
in
our
downtown
and
then
the
next
slide.
Please
Phil.
I
Indoor
holiday
Farmers,
Market,
December
17th,
and
it
is
indoors
it's
not
the
pre-order
that
I
think
I
mentioned
previously,
but
it
is
9
A.M
to
noon
and
then
the
third
slide
is
how
to
support
downtown
in
January
and
again,
it's
just
by
way
of
shopping,
small
and
visiting
our
downtown,
but
there
will
not
be
a
first
Friday
in
January.
I
Fourth
slide:
we
are
already
the
sweetest
spot
in
America
and
our
first
first
Friday
in
2023
will
be
a
tour
to
chocolate
and
that
is
February
3rd
already,
starting
to
advertise
that
it's
always
well
attended
and
a
great
job
by
all
last
slide
is
welcome.
List
for
new
employees.
Greg
Wilson
actually
is
a
recent
hire,
as
all
five
are,
but
quite
the
pickup
for
us.
I
He
comes
to
us
and
joins
Michael
Hertz
team
in
the
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
team,
and
then
we
have
Robert
amade,
Kristen,
Woods,
Caleb,
Mitchell
and
Nicole
has
joined
us
as
well.
All
all
five
employees
I've
met
and
great
additions
to
the
city.
We
feel
very
lucky
that
We've
not
only
chosen
them
but
they've
chosen
us
and
then
lastly,
mayor
before
I
turn
it
back
to
you
and
the
council.
I
It's
the
holiday
season
very
last
meeting
for
this
year,
we'll
join
again
after
the
New
Year
first
council
meeting
is
January
9th
and
I
just
want
to
quickly
comment
to
all
those
happy
holidays
and
safe
travels
if
you're
on
the
road,
I
I
know
that
everyone,
you
know
takes
this
time
of
year
to
pause
and
think
about
all
the
many
many
things
that
we
have
to
be
thankful
for
and
I
know.
I
definitely
am
as
well.
Thank
you.
Everyone
happy
holidays.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
city
manager,
Gleason
and
the
mayor's
comment
short
and
sweet,
happy
holidays
to
everyone
and
I
hope.
You
have
a
safe
and
enjoyable
time
with
whoever
you
choose
to
celebrate.

F
I
will
try
to
be
short
and
sweet
mayor
a
couple
things
we
approved
on
the
consent
agenda
that
I
just
wanted
to
point
out.
We
approved
funding
for
the
ecology,
Action
Center,
which
is
shared
by
normal
and
and
the
county
they've
been
around
in
some
forms,
since
1971
and
they're
in
charge
of
helping
us
meet
the
Illinois,
Solid
Waste,
Management
planning
and
recycling
act
between
2013
and
I.
Think
2019,
our
recycling
rate
has
gone
up
from
37
to
46
percent.
The
goal
is:
is
50
percent
they
planted
10
000
trees.
F
You
know
they
do
a
lot
of
Education
in
classrooms
with
adults.
You
know
composting
things
like
that,
so
great
asset
to
our
community
and
then
the
habitat
agenda
item.
F
This
is
I,
think
thinking
outside
the
box,
the
duplex
for
two
family
and
and-
and
you
know
habitat's
done-
this-
is
like
the
198th
home
and
they're
a
key
asset
to
creating
affordable
housing
in
the
community,
and
one
thing
I
noted
in
the
packet
is
that
there's
a
duplex
idea
is
going
to
be
presented
to
Habitat
International
as
a
pilot
program,
so
that's
pretty
cool
for
our
community.
Thank
you.
