C
D
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
Real
quick,
I
think
alderwoman
ward
is
asking
if
she's
still
muted,
even
though
it's
showing
that
you're
not,
we
still
cannot
hear
you.
B
No
councilmember,
I
was
gonna
say
you
can
have
it
contact
you.
D
On
the
covet
update,
actually
there's
been
a
fair
amount
that
has
occurred.
I
know
at
the
council
meeting
last
monday
we
reported
information
for
the
community
entering
in
the
bridge
phase
that
came
at
state
level
from
governor
pritzker
and
then
also
the
cdc
announced
this
past
week.
D
The
elimination
of
wearing
masks
for
those
that
are
vaccinated
in
public
and
social
settings
and
that's
one
where
it's
actually
turned
into
quite
the
discussion
internally
for
the
organization,
maybe
not
so
much
for
the
community.
But
it's
something
that
we
need
to
figure
out.
How
does
that
impact
city
services,
city
facilities?
And
it
might
seem
that
it's
just
quite
simply
an
easy
answer?
D
We
just
followed
the
state
guidelines
and
the
cdc
guidelines,
but
we
know
that,
based
on
the
reporting
that
we
are
not
necessarily
satisfied
with
the
level
of
vaccinations,
but
yet
we
are
going
to
eliminate
wearing
the
masks
and
not
going
to
have
any
idea
who's
been
vaccinated
or
not
vaccinated,
so
inside
city
facilities.
So
what
does
that
mean
for
city
employees?
What
does
that
mean
for
trying
to
protect
the
city
services
that
we
provide
the
community?
D
It's
one
that
we're
working
through-
I
guess,
is
my
answer
to
the
elected
body
and
to
the
community
tonight.
The
one
thing
to
share
is
city
facilities
are
open.
The
hub
open
today
I'll
have
additional
comments
about
that.
The
grand
opening
later
in
the
meeting,
but
as
far
as
city
services,
city
facilities,
we
are
open
to
the
public,
but
there
is
definitely
more
to
come.
One
more
item,
mayor
and
council
want
to
remind
the
community-
and
we
said
this
last
week
as
well.
D
The
illinois
housing
development
authority
has
a
grant
program
up
to
25
000,
for
tenants
and
for
landlords
for
reimbursement
up
to
12
months
and
then
also
three
additional
or
future
months.
The
potential
is
15
months
total.
That's
something
that
we
have
heard.
You
know
we
heard
public
comment.
I
know
the
elected
officials
have
heard
concerns
from
some
of
the
tenants,
the
residents
that
were
having
challenges,
making,
rent
and
trying
very
hard
to
make
rent.
You
know
not
those
that
were
problems
pre-covered
and
continued
to
be
problems
during
covet.
D
We
also
heard
from
the
landlords
and
through
the
course
of
the
pandemic.
This
is
something
that
we've
shared
with
our
state
representatives.
This
is
something
that
we've
shared
with
our
lobbyist,
julie,
curry,
and
I
know
that
us,
like
many
communities,
the
administration
heard
and
acted
on
some
of
those
very
real
concerns
for
tenants
and
for
property
owners
that
landlords
could
go
on
a
little
bit
longer
on
mayor,
but
I
think
that's
it
for
now.
Thank
you.
A
A
Oh
sorry,
yeah
sorry,
I
I
missed
that
it
was
my
first
napo
here.
Okay,
all
right,
so
next
on
the
agenda
is
public
comment.
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.
A
A
B
C
Yes,
go
ahead,
okay,
great!
Thank
you.
So
my
name
is
alan
max
axelrod,
I'm
the
campaign
lead
of
noah
amanda,
shut
off
the
zero
dollar,
all
volunteer
group
of
48
organizations
and
counting
spanning
the
state
of
illinois,
north
and
south,
east
and
west.
C
If
you
can
still
hear
me,
I'm
updating
you
about
the
governor's
press
release
which
I
believe
was
touched
on
a
little
bit
today,
where
1.5
billion
dollars
in
rent
assistance
was
made
available
for
using
federal
dollars
for
landlords,
property
managers
or
the
tenants
either
can
apply
for
it,
and
the
press.
Release
from
the
governor's
office
includes
that
information
on
how
to
apply.
I
would
highly
recommend
that
that
be
taken
advantage
of,
because
you
only
have
until
june
7th
to
apply
for
that
money.
C
The
second
thing
is
the
utility
disconnection
avoidance
program,
which
was
in
part
created
in
response
to
this
body's
initiative,
and
subsequent
resolution
went
over
budget
already.
They
had
allocated
80
million
dollars,
and
that
was
supposed
to
help
80
000
households.
It
is
now
spent
already
115
million
dollars
for
115
000
households.
These
are
households
that
would
have
been
disconnected
that
have
received
utility
subsidies
in
the
last
three
years,
which
isn't
everybody,
because,
despite
the
fact
that
115
000
households
received
interventionary
assistance,
that
would
have
otherwise
resulted
in
them
getting
a
shutoff.
C
C
The
question
remains
what
will
happen
with
those
disconnections,
as
it
relates
to
public
health
that
remains
to
be
seen,
because
the
deferred
payment
agreements
that
people
have
entered
into
have
their
first
payments
due
after
the
down
payment.
Of
course,
this
coming
like
few
weeks,
so
we
don't
know
what's
going
to
happen,
but
right
now
we're
very
encouraged
by
what
we're
seeing.
Maybe
what
was
done
is
enough,
but
it
wouldn't
have
happened
without
the
advocacy
of
his
body.
I
apologize
if
I
went
over
time.
Thank
you
so
much.
B
We
do
not
have
anyone
else
on
the
line.
I
did
want
to
report
that
we
received
one
emailed
public
comment
and
that
was
from
david
eisner.
A
Oh
okay,
councilman!
Thank
you.
Thank
you!
So
much
so,
second
by
councilmember,
ward,
madame
turk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll
council
member.
B
G
B
H
I
A
Yes,
thank
you
very
much.
The
item
passes
and
there
are
no
needs
to
announce
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
item
6a
presentation
by
the
wilmington
police
department's
2020
annual
report,
as
requested
by
the
police
department,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
city
manager
gleason
for
some
introductory
comments.
If
she
has
me.
D
These
were
first
going
to
be
presented
at
the
committee
of
the
hole
in
march,
but
we
had
a
full
agenda
then,
and
then
I
held
it
purposely
in
april
committee
of
the
hole
waiting
for
this
new
body
of
elected
officials
to
be
seated
so
we're
going
to
hear
them
tonight
at
the
may
committee
as
a
whole,
very
proud
of
the
police
department.
We
just
did
finish
up
law
enforcement
appreciation
week.
Very
much
appreciate
what
the
bloomington
police
department
does
for
us,
a
very
standard
presentation.
J
J
Slide
and
one
more
time,
you'll
notice
that
the
total
part
one
crime
is
lower
by
14.1
percent.
This
is
this
has
been
the
continuing
trend,
a
slight
downward
trend
for
the
past
several
years.
In
these
part,
one
crimes
in
the
following,
slides,
we'll
I'll
present
more
specific
information,
analysis
on
selected
crime
types
and
touch
briefly
on
some
covet
impacts
on
these,
or
at
least
what
we
believe
may
be
coveted
impacts
next
slide.
Please.
J
So
on
this
slide,
just
basically
presents
to
you
each
one
of
the
part,
one
crime
codes
that
we
track
for
2020.
now
in
2021.
These
are
going
to
be
different
because,
of
course,
we
are
mandated
to
switch
to
the
national
incident-based
reporting
system
or
neighbors.
So
we're
in
the
process
of
doing
that
now.
Particular
to
note
on
this
page
is
you'll
see
criminal
sexual
assault
was
49
in
2019
and
in
2020
was
up
to
64..
J
This
is
a
statistic
for
some
reason
that
pretty
widely
varies
year
over
year,
we
haven't
been
able
to
necessarily
figure
out.
Why
that
is
you
know
it's.
We
think.
Maybe
it's
a
difference
in
focus.
Maybe
if
there's
a
new
reporting
push
that
would
come
from
the
community.
Maybe
we
get
a
few
more
reports
that
way
it
can
also
be
a
reflection
in
the
change
of
laws.
You'll
remember
a
year
or
two
ago,
when
we
started
taking
anonymous,
not
really
anonymous
reports.
J
Without
you
know,
if
the
victim
didn't
want
to
pursue
anything,
we
still
took
the
report
so
that,
in
the
event
they
changed
their
mind
later,
we
could
go
ahead
and
move
forward
with
testing
and
investigation
if
possible.
So
I
just.
D
J
J
Go
ahead
and
hit
the
next
yeah
there
you
go
so
in
2020
we
did
record
the
one
homicide
and
two
arrests
have
been
made
and
a
third
suspect
is
currently
wanted.
J
The
single
homicide
that
we
had
in
2019,
which
was
over
on
orchard
road,
is
closed
with
three
arrests.
We
have
two
convictions
so
far
and
then
the
next
bullet
point
so
all
of
all
of
our
2018
homicides.
If
you'll
remember
that
was
an
anomaly
year
for
us,
we
had
nine
homicides
in
that
year.
They
all
have
been
closed
by
arrest.
J
We
have
one
remaining
yet
in
this
year
for
trial
and
that's
the
oak
street
homicide,
so
the
men
and
women
of
cid
criminal
investigation
division,
the
police
department
have
done
a
great
job
in
doing
these
investigations,
and
it's
it's
important
to
note
that
we
don't
do
these
all
by
ourselves.
J
J
So
in
2020
we
recorded
those
27
shootings,
which
is
down
from
33
in
2019.
The
thing
that
to
think
here
to
pay
attention
to
is
this
is
really
not
gang.
Related
we've
had
a
reduction
in
gang-related
violence
over
the
past
year
or
two.
So
what
we're
seeing
here
is
is
mostly
from
about
2019
on
2018
on.
J
These
are
mostly
folks
who
are
having
a
personal
conflict
and
then,
rather
than
talk
it
out
or
you
know,
old
school
yard
stuff,
they
decide
to
settle
it
with
a
firearm,
and
then
you
know
it's
it's
romanticized
a
lot
in
the
youth
culture,
so
these
are
really
not
hunt
gang
related
they're,
not
really
related.
If
you
look
back
at
the
homicides
on
the
previous
page,
those
aren't
like
we
had
years
ago,
where
one
gang
would
shoot
on
one
side
of
town
and
then
on
the
other
side
of
town
you'd
have
a
retaliatory
shooting.
J
These
are
all
individual
personal
conflict
issues
that
were,
unfortunately
tempted
to
be
settled
with
a.
J
Robberies
we
dropped
from
57
to
23..
Much
of
last
year's
increase
is
due
to
social
media
marketplace,
sale
robbery.
So
that's
where
people
put
something
for
sale
on
facebook
marketplace
and
then
they
choose
to
meet
up
someplace
to
do
the
exchange
and
then
they're
either
robbed
of
their
item,
that
they
were
trying
to
sell
or
their
what
they
were
trying
to
sell
and
their
money.
J
So
the
police
department
to
try
to
assist
in
this
is
offered
up
the
front
parking
lot
of
the
police
department
for
community
members
to
come
in
and
make
those
exchanges
there.
It's
not
that
we
stand
out
there
and
watch
or
observe
or
anything.
But
you
know
the
the
parking
lot
is
recorded
and
if
someone
has
ill
intent
towards
another
citizen,
they
might
think
twice
about
it,
while
they're
in
the
parking
lot
of
the
police
department.
J
So
we
have
done
that
to
try
to
assist
in
that.
We
do
also
believe
that
some
of
this
has
gone
down
due
to
covet.
You
know
with
everybody
quarantining
at
home
and
not
really
being
out
in
public
and
making
those
personal
connections
that
probably
reduce
that
probably
had
a
hand
in
reducing
this
particular
statistic.
J
Dui
arrests.
We
believe
this
is
another
category
where
we've
seen
a
cobit
impact
would
love
to
tell
you
that
it's
the
years
of
good
enforcement
by
the
men
and
women
of
the
bullington
police
department,
people
deciding
not
to
drink
and
drive,
but
we
really
believe
this
is
probably
coveted
related
with
bars
being
closed
and
fewer
social
gatherings.
J
We
believe
there
was
fewer
opportunities
for
people
to
drink
and
drive.
Rest
assured.
The
dui
enforcement
remains
a
priority
for
the
bloomington
police
department,
as
covid
restrictions
ease
up
and
we
have
the
ability
to
engage
again
in
illinois
department,
transportation
grants.
We
will
return
to
dui
enforcement
seat
belt
enforcement
and
distracted
driving
enforcement
that
all
of
that
was
put
on
pause
last
year
with
with
kobit
for
the
safety
of
our
citizens,
as
well
as
the
officers
next
slide.
Please.
J
Domestic
violence,
it
in
my
experience
in
the
past
24,
almost
25
years
as
a
police
officer.
Whenever
we
had
a
heavy
snowfall,
I
pretty
much
counted
that
domestic
violence
would
go
up
anytime.
You
get
people
in
an
enclosed
space
for
a
prolonged
period
of
time.
It
seems
like
domestic
violence
goes
up.
We
expected
to
see
a
little
bit
of
a
spike
due
to
covid,
and
we
did.
It
was
up
about
9.6,
which
is
just
a
touch
above
the
national
average.
J
But
you
know
that's
just
it's
just
one
of
those
things
you
get
people
in
an
enclosed
space,
for
you
know
a
long
time
and
they
start
arguing
and
carry
on
and
those
sorts
of
things
so
yeah
it
was
an
increase,
but
it
wasn't
an
unexpected
increase.
J
Next
page,
please
so:
youth
crime
efforts
in
2019
we
launched
a
partnership
with
city
life
and
andrew
held
this
program
really
sought
to
to
bridge
a
piece
of
the
puzzle
that
we
didn't
have
an
influence
in
and
that
being
conflict
resolution.
Andrew
hell
did
a
really
good
job
for
us
in
some
of
the
2018
homicides.
He
was
one
of
the
first
people
there
and
he
was
in
the
crowds
talking
with
a
lot
of
the
people,
a
lot
of
the
young
men
and
women
that
were
distraught
over
the
homicides.
J
He
did
a
really
nice
job
in
mitigating
some
of
that.
Unfortunately,
city
life
is
no
longer
a
part
is
functioning
in
bloomington,
normal
and
andrew
held's
no
longer
there.
So
this
is
really
a
piece
that
we
are
going
to
be
investigating
going
forward
to
see
if
we
can
find
another
person
or
program
that
we
can
fit
into
this
place.
We
believe
this
is
vital
in
the
community
for
our
young
people
to
learn
conflict
resolution
outside
of
firearms
or
violence
in
general.
J
Some
of
our
goals
going
forward-
we've
really
missed
out
on
the
opportunity
in
in
2019,
to
engage
with
the
public
in
a
face-to-face
one-on-one
venue
things
like
a
project
with
a
cop
ice
cream
with
a
cop
coffee
with
a
cop.
All
those
things
went
on
hold
and
we
really
missed
those
opportunities
to
engage
directly.
J
We
were
able
to
accomplish
the
shop
with
a
cop.
It
was
a.
It
was
really
a
different
event
who
you
know
this
kids
came
out
and
they
went
out
and
shopped,
and
then
myself
and
the
two
other
assistant
chiefs
were
able
to
greet
the
youngsters
as
they
come
through
with
their
parents.
It
was
really
it
was
a
fun
time.
It
was
a
good
time
to
make
good
community
contact,
but
it
just
wasn't
the
same
as
the
traditional
shop
with
the
cops.
So
we
really
are
looking
forward
to
doing
that.
J
We
will
continue
to
expand
our
transparency
portal,
so
you'll
see
the
website
there,
I'm
not
going
to
try
to
read
all
that
for
you.
But
if
you
go
to
that
website
and
you
see
the
transparency
tab,
we
are
building
out
a
lot
of
use
of
force.
Data
and
a
lot
of
that
other
data
that
is
typically
something
that
the
community
is
interested
in
and
that
they
have
a
right
to
see
and
we
want
to
make
it
as
easy
as
possible
for
that
to
be
found.
J
So
all
of
that
data
is
there
as
well
as
our
sops.
Almost
all
of
our
sops
are
there
using
a
system
that,
once
we
update
it
in
the
police
department
and
publish
it,
it's
automatically
updated
on
that
website.
So
those
it's
a
it's
a
great
step
forward
in
our
transparency
effort
to
make
as
much
information
available
as
quickly
as
possible.
J
We
are
going
to
continue
to
expand
our
efforts
with
the
mclean
county
triage
program
to
assist
people
who
are
in
mental
health
crisis
to
you
know,
rather
than
getting
them
involved
with
the
criminal
justice
system.
If
we
can
divert
them
there
to
receive
treatment
or
counseling
or
just
an
opportunity
someplace
to
to
cool
down
and
relax,
that's
exactly
what
the
triage
center
is
for,
so
we're
enjoying
that
partnership,
and
we
plan
to
continue
to
use
that
next
slide.
Please.
J
We're
going
to
continue
to
develop
some
of
the
mobile
access
that
we
given
to
officers
as
well
as
to
the
community
one
of
the
covid
opportunities
that
we
took
was
we
developed
an
online
reporting
system
for
select
report
types.
Essentially,
those
are
reports
where
there's
no
evidence
to
collect
and
there's
no
suspect
on
scene.
Those
can
be
filed
on
online,
so
we'd
like
to
continue
to
do
that,
make
it
as
easy
as
possible
for
our
citizens
and
community
to
take
care
of
the
things
that
they
need
to
take
care
of.
J
J
One
of
the
big
issues
facing
the
department,
among
others,
but
this
is
a
big
one-
is
the
mclean
county
for
a
long
time
has
been
on
the
the
e
justice
system.
It
started
two
years
after
I
got
hired
and
it's
really
a
fantastic
system.
All
law
enforcement-
all
justice
systems
excuse
me-
are
able
to
access
this
system,
so
our
police
reports,
normal
police
reports,
mclean
county,
it's
just
a
really
great
system.
J
The
problem
is,
it's
been
around
for
you
know,
20
years
and
it
it's
old
technology
and
with
the
transition
to
the
neighbors
reporting
system.
He
just
was
not
written
with
that
system
in
mind,
so
we,
the
county,
put
together
a
patch
so
that
we
can
continue
to
use
this
system.
J
J
The
city's
chief
diversity
and
inclusion
officer
michael
hurt,
as
well
as
the
public
safety
citizen
review
board
and
the
naac
we
macp
we're
really
working
hard
to
continue
to
to
recruit
a
diverse
workforce.
That
better
represents
our
city
and
I
believe,
with
that
city
manager
and
mayor
council.
If
there's
any
questions
I'll
be
happy
to
try
to.
A
Answer,
thank
you
very
much.
Interim
chief
scott.
I
I
just
at
this
point
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
ask
council
members
if
there
are
any
questions.
What
I
would
also
ask
you,
because
some
of
you
are
doing
that
I
cannot
see
on
my
screen.
So
if
you
wave,
although
it's
very
friendly
and
nice,
I
might
not
to
you
so
I
would
ask
that
you
try
to
raise
your
hand
through
the
electronic
system.
A
I
All
right,
thank
you,
chief,
scott
and
and
if
you're
not
able
to
answer
these
questions
because
of
the
tickle
in
your
throat.
Just
let
us
know
but
yeah
really.
We
can
really
be
proud
of
the
job
that
you've
all
done,
especially
during
the
pandemic
and
and
I've
also
been
on
your
site
and
seen
the
transparency
link
and,
yes,
there's
a
lot
of
data
there,
as
well
as
the
the
sop
standard
operating
procedures.
So
so
that
that's
awesome
just
a
few
questions.
I
So
the
the
data
that
you
gave
tonight.
Those
are
basically
crimes
that
are
reported,
not
necessarily
arrests
or
convictions.
Right,
that's,
correct,
okay,
and,
and
is
that
kept
track
of
in
any
way.
J
It
is
tracked,
but
the
the
difficulty
would
come
in
that.
Sometimes
you
know
you
may
report
a
particular
crime
and
then,
as
we
get
in
and
investigate
it,
it
may
branch
into
other
crimes.
So
it's
not
it's.
It's
a
little
more
difficult
to
say.
We
had
x,
offense
and
b
arrest
was
directly
related
to
that
offense
other
than
say,
like
the
homicides.
Those
those
are
those
are
tracked
in
in
whole.
I
Right,
thank
you.
So
I
tried
to
word
this
questions.
I'm
not
sure
it's
understandable,
but
I'm
going
to
try
so
like
during
the
pandemic.
I
I
believe-
and
maybe
it
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong-
that
where
there
was
an
arrest-
and
it
was
discretionary
as
to
whether
to
take
the
person
to
jail
or
leave
them,
you
know
in
essence
to
appear
later
on
that
you
know
there
was
more
discretion
used
to
not
take
them
to
jail
due
to
the
pandemic,
and
it
was
that
the
case.
I
guess,
and
is
that
going
to
continue
to
happen.
J
You've
heard
you
ordered
that
very
well,
sir.
Actually
yeah
we
did,
they
were
called
notice
to
appears.
The
state's
attorney
gave
us
clear
direction
on
how
and
when
we
should
be
using
those
and
what
efforts
we
could
use
those
towards
and,
as
far
as
I
know,
that's
going
to
continue
for
some
time.
I
don't
you
know
he
hasn't.
The
state's
attorney
hasn't
communicated
to
us
any
end
to
that
program.
I
And
and
one
more
question
I'll
ask
about
over
and-
and
I
know
that
I
was
just
looking
at
the
numbers-
and
you
know
it's-
it
was
what
about
1.2
million
2019
and
and
that's
an
increase
from
past
years
and
then
a
state
about
the
same
with
you
know
the
amount
of
money
for
overtime.
Is
there
any
thought
of?
We
need
to
reduce
that
and
how
we
do
that.
J
I
could
tell
you
the
easiest
way
to
reduce
it
would
probably
to
come
up
to
full
strength,
which
is
our
authorized.
Strength
of
128
would
help
immensely
to
reduce
that
the
other,
the
other
big
piece
of
that
is
the
downtown
higher
back.
We
do
spend,
I
want
to
say
it's
in
the
neighborhood
of
40
000
a
year.
That's
purely
a
guess!
So
don't
hold
me
to
that
number
as
a
solid
pepper,
I
can
get
it
for
you
if
you
like,
that
would
be.
J
The
easiest
way
is
for
us
to
get
back
up
to
full
strength,
because
we
are
hiring
back
for
all
shifts
almost
every
day,
just
due
to
the
lack
of
manpower,
staffing
at
this
point.
I
What's
your
nut,
what
are
your
numbers
right
now
with
regard
to
patrol
officers.
H
J
Right
now,
but
our
total
staff
authorized
strength
is
128.,
I
believe
we're
at
a
126,
but
I
have
four
people
at
least
four,
maybe
six
that
are
out
on
a
job
injury
and
then
I
have
three
that
are
currently
at
the
academy.
So
if
you
subtract
all
all
of
them
out,
I'm
probably
down
112
115
somewhere
in
there,
and
then
I
have
about
60
officers
that
are
on
patrol.
D
Thank
you,
real
quick,
alderman
crable.
I
guess
additionally
to
the
staffing
challenges
that
the
police
department's
facing.
We
actually
have
a
practice.
We
get
a
list
candidate
pool.
We
will
go
ahead
and
do
the
background
checks
so
that
we
can
fast
track
those
individuals
into
the
academies
when
there's
vacancies
we've
even
at
times
overhired
just
to
try
to
stay
in
front
of
some
of
the
very
real
staffing
challenges
that
pd
has.
F
Thank
you
and
thank
you
chief
scott,
for
this
report,
and
for
for
what
you're
doing
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions
specifically
about
about
weapons
violence
in
particular.
I
wonder,
would
you
be
able
to
to
offer
any
statistics
and
feel
free
to
direct
me
to
the
the
website,
but
I'm
wondering
you
mentioned,
of
the
27
on
shootings.
Were
those
all
were
those
including
weapons
discharges
without
injury,
or
were
they
what
what
portion
of
those
were
with
injuries.
J
No,
those
those
would
be
verified,
shootings
where
we
either
had
say
an
eyewitness.
That
said
they
saw
it
or
we
actually
located
evidence
that
there
was
a
weapon
fired,
whether
that
would
be
a
shell
casing
or
maybe
a
bullet
impact
someplace.
F
Yes,
yeah,
okay
and
then
you
mentioned
also
the
youth
culture.
As
being
you
know,
one
of
the
the
aspects
or
of
of
recent
shootings-
and
I'm
wondering
do
you-
have
any
averages
on
ages
of
shooters
and
targets,
or
is
that
something
that.
F
Great
that
would
be
really
helpful
and
then
the
last
question
I
had
to
do
is:
could
you
expand
a
little
bit
you?
You
talked
about
a
system-wide
approach
to
illegal
weapons
and
gun
violence
and
and
gang-related
activity.
Can
you
can
you
talk
specific
or
you
know,
just
kind
of
flush
that
out?
What's
the
system-wide
approach
about.
J
J
We
have
some
unique
investigative
tools
that
we've
used
recently
to
take
some
weapons
off
of
the
street
even
before
they
had
the
opportunity
to
get
shot,
and
I
really
I
really
don't
want
to
go
into
detail
on
what
those
investigative
techniques
are
and
then
the
the
state's
attorney
has
done
a
really
nice
job
in
picking
up
those
cases
and
charging
them
as
appropriate.
J
Rather
than
you
know.
In
the
past,
we've
had
a
there's
been
a
much
more
soft
response
to
weapons
offenses
for
certain
persons
and
that
that's
kind
of
turned
the
corner.
Of
course,
they
are
still
restricted
by
law.
To
do
the
things
that
they
they
can
do
so
system
wide
is
essentially
all
of
that
as
well.
As
you
know,
our
school
resources,
school
resource
officers
are
talking,
are
doing
conflict
resolution
through
restorative
practices.
They
are
intervening
wherever
they
can.
J
You
know
helping
students
get
through
all
those
issues
as
they
can,
and
then
we
do
partner
with
you
know
like
boys
and
girls,
club
and
and
other
agencies.
We
have
also
partnered
with
mom's
demand
action,
so
you
know
we
system
wide.
J
For
us,
for
me,
is:
is
everyone
from
the
patrol
officer
to
the
criminal
investigations
division
to
everyone
in
the
mclean
county
state's
attorney's
office,
as
well
as
all
of
the
social
social
agencies
that
we
have
in
the
community
that
we
can
that
we
can
partner
with
to
get
the
message
out
that
violence
is
not
the
answer
to
an
argument
or
to
being
disrespected,
does
that
answer
your
question.
F
It
does
and
the
one
follow-up
question
I
have
is:
do
you
feel
like
you,
have
the
resources
for,
for
specifically
those
kinds
of
programs,
or
do
you
feel
like
there's
room,
to
have
more
resources
for
that.
J
I
think
there's
always
room
for
more
resources,
and
you
know,
city
manager
would
probably
be
unhappy
with
me.
If
I
said
I
had
everything
I
needed,
but
I
truly.
J
I
believe
that
the
more
resources
that
we
had,
especially
within
the
community
that
we
can
partner
with
it,
would
just
probably
impact
the
problem
exponentially
as
we
move
forward
because,
there's
you
know,
there's
people
that
have
a
specialty
with
grade
school,
kids,
there's
kid:
there's
people
out
there
that
really
enjoy
junior
high
students,
there's
people
that
really
enjoy
high
school
students
and
just
on
up
the
the
chain.
J
So
I
I
think
the
community
that
can
get
behind
any
one
of
those
particular
aspects
of
the
youth
and
and
reach
into
them
and
help
them
learn
how
to
solve
their
differences
peacefully
and
through
discourse.
That
would
just
be
fantastic
and
we
would
love
to
come
alongside
and
help
in
any
way
that
we
can.
J
Given
a
little
bit
of
time,
I
could
probably
give
you
some
some
specific
answers.
I'll
make
a
note
of
it.
J
K
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
for
your
presentation,
chief
scott.
So
first
I
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment,
and
I've
been
thinking
about
what
you
said
of
the
youth
culture
and
violence,
and
it
seems
that
there's
also
a
culture
of
violence
in
the
community.
I've
really
appreciated
the
transparency
portal
that
you
have
in
place
and
the
link
to
lex
luthor,
but
I
was,
I
was
surprised
that
there's
so
so
many
aggravated
battery
cases.
K
Honor
just
seems
a
continual
problem
and
it
made
me
think
about
how
some
other
communities
have
investigated
and
invested.
Funding
for
social
service
supports
mental
health
workers
to
work
in
conjunction
with
the
police
like
the
cahoots
program
in
eugene
oregon,
and
I
know
later
we're
going
to
hear
about
how
certain
ways
we
can
spend
the
funding
from
the
covert
relief
bill
and
that
for
certain
essential
services,
this
might
be
an
identifiable
essential
service,
especially
given
that
that
we
seem
to
have
a
gap
for
our
youth
in
this
kind
of
programming.
K
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
comment
and
foreshadow
a
connection
that
we
might
be
able
to
make,
and
I
was
really
glad
that
you
brought
up
the
mclean
county
triage
center
because
I,
I
think
that's
a
model
for
for
doing
more,
and
I
certainly
am
looking
to
invest
more
in
in
those
kinds
of
solutions.
K
I
did
want
to
ask
you
about
a
separate
question,
because
it's
something
I've
started
to
do
a
lot
of
research
around
and
I'm
starting
to
have
conversations
with
people
in
some
communities
they're
banning
what
they
call
pretext
stops
and
I'm
you're
nodding
like.
Of
course,
you
know
that
that's
minor
traffic
violations.
K
I
I've
received
a
couple
of
traffic
tickets
in
the
mail
myself.
I
admit
when
I
I
lived
in
chicago,
so
is
that
something
that
your
your
department
has
considered?
Is
it?
Is
it
something
I
mean
I'm
asking
you
out
of
the
blue,
so
you
might
need
to
to
go
back
and
and
do
some
of
your
own
research,
but
is
it
something
that
you
think
might
be
another
move
that
we
could
make
in
this
community
going
forward.
J
K
Of
course,
so
the
big
context
is
in
in
just
the
gap
between
folks
who
are
who
are
of
color,
who
are
stopped,
and
the
data
that
you
know
is
still
persists
not
just
here
but
nationally,
and
that
in
these
cases
that
can
escalate
into
something
that
is,
is
potentially
problematic
to
deadly
that.
K
This
might
prevent
those
kinds
of
things
from
happening
if
the,
if
the
violation
is
truly
just
a
minor
traffic
violation
and
and
early
data,
suggests
that
that
there
is
a
lowering
of
harmful
incidents
when
these
kinds
of
policies
are
enacted.
J
I'd
love
to
give
you
a
simple
answer,
but
I
don't
think
I
don't
think
it's
a
it's.
Not
as
it's
not
a
simple.
It's
not
a
simple
answer.
It's
like
any
other
investigative
tool,
there's
upsides
and
there's
downsides.
J
It
is
not
something
that
we've
ever
taught
at
the
bloomington
police
department
just
to
be
used
happenstance.
You
know
for
no
reason
at
all,
most
often
when
we
are
using
them,
they're
they're,
an
investigation
into
another
neighborhood
complaint
or
serious
concern
that
we
have
that
we're
trying
to
investigate
so
it
would.
It
certainly
merits
more
more
discussion
and
and
more
investigation.
J
However,
you
know
my
initial
response.
Is
it's
it's
a
great
investigative
tool
that,
when
used
properly,
can
stem
crime
and
enhance
public
safety
when
used
improperly
and
just
kind
of
as
something
to
do
to
fill
the
time
or
whatever
the
case
may
be.
A
Okay,
I
I
believe
councilmember
carrillo
has
a
question,
but
before
we
do
that,
though,
I'd
like
to
ask
for
a
motion
to
extend
the
time,
because
I
think
we
we.
E
A
Minutes
sounds
good
councilman
bowling
motion
for
10
minutes
and
second
by
council
member
matthew,
madame
craig
called
the
roll.
D
I
A
L
You
so
I
guess
my
first
question
is
around
well.
I
guess
it's
an
ask.
I
think,
given
all
the
conversation
around
race
and
policing
and
the
intersections
of
both,
I
am
wondering
if
for
future
reports,
we
could
actually
dig
deeper
into
the
the
breakdown
in
terms
of
race
around
these
arrests
and
these
shootings
and
and
the
data
that
we
are
seeing,
because
I
do
think
it
helps
to
paint
a
clearer
picture.
L
I
know
that
the
state
does
collect
data
in
terms
of
traffic
stops
and
and
consistently
there
have
been.
You
know,
pretty
pretty
stark
racial
disparities
in
terms
of
how
people
experience
traffic
stops.
So
I
guess
my
question
is
and
I've
you
know.
I've
asked
this
of
other
chiefs
before.
But
what
to?
What?
Do
you
think?
That's
about.
J
J
Okay
and
the
only
one
that
I
can
come
back
to
is,
I
think,
the
same
one
that
you're
referring
to
the
chief
hefner
provided,
probably.
M
J
Four
years
ago-
and
that
is
what
we
direct
most
of
our
patrols
into
our
hot
spots,
where
they're
experiencing
the
most
crime-
and
that's
that's
where
we're
that's
also,
unfortunately,
very
often
the
minority
inhabited
areas,
and
they
just
that
just
kind
of
happens
that
way
that
that's
where
those
happen,
we
don't
target
anybody.
J
You
know
we're
not
looking
for
a
particular
race
when
we're
making
a
stop.
We're
looking
at
the
crime
in
an
area
or
the
reported
description
of
a
vehicle
is
related
to
a
crime
and
making
those
stops
in
those
in
those
regards
or
speeding.
Or
you
know,
equipment
violations
if
necessary,
for
safety.
L
Gotcha
yeah,
I
mean,
I
guess
so.
One
question
is
understanding
that
this
model
of
using
hot
spots
to
determine
where
areas
are
are
patrolled
most
frequently
is
there
anything
that
you
think
can
be
done
to
curb
some
of
the
effects
of
using
that
model.
Are
there
other
models
that
other
police
departments
have
used
to
try
to
mitigate
that?
So
just
yeah
curious
about?
If
you
have
any
thoughts
on
that.
J
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question
and
I
would
have
to
do
the
research
on
it.
I'm
not
aware
of
a
different
one
that
has
been
as
effective
in
contra
in
curtailing
crime,
in
a
specific
space
and
with
the
limited
number
of
resources
that
we
have.
You
know
it.
It
would
be
nice
to
have
always
have
two
officers
in
every
district,
but
we
just
don't
have
that
kind
of
staffing.
So
we
staff
where
the
crime
has
intelligence
has
told
us.
J
L
J
L
You
so
much
that's
a
that's
a
good
answer.
I
I'm
wondering
also
as
we're
talking
about
you
know,
resources
and
how
resources
are
best
invested
into
strategies
that
prevent
crime
in
the
community.
I've
had
a
couple
of
folks
reach
out
to
ask
me,
and
maybe
this
is
a
question
for
you
or
or
if
they're,
the
city
manager,
about
whether
our
current
police
contract
bars
some
of
the
things
that
these
other
programs
have
employed
like
having
social
workers
or
non-police
staff
that
respond
to
calls
for
help
that
come
into
the
department.
L
J
I
would
be
surprised
if
anybody
would
make
that
argument.
The
argument
would
the
argument
would
be
if
they're,
going
in
the
place
of
a
police
to
a
specifically
something?
That's
a
police
call,
that's
something
that
we
are
interested
in
in
researching
and
looking
into
to
try
to
help.
You
know
as
and
that's
probably
another
statistic
that
would
be
interesting
for
you
to
see
is
whether
or
not
mental
health
related
calls
have
actually
increased
in
our
community
anecdotally.
J
It
seems
like
we're
going
to
them
frequently
some
initial
research
that
I
did
right
after
the
first
part
of
the
year
when
this
started.
You
know
these
questions
came
to
the
front.
It
was
really
less
than
one
percent
of
our
calls.
Would
I
feel
comfortable,
sending
a
social
worker,
a
mental
health
worker
by
themselves
that
meaning
that
all
of
the
others
had
you
know
maybe
suicide,
ideation
or
some
violent
tendencies
either
at
present
or
in
the
past.
J
So
it
would
be
imprudent
to
send
a
social
worker
or
a
mental
health
person
into
that
type
of
a
circumstance,
but
we
are
not
opposed
at
all
to
a
co-responder
model
in
in
looking
at
how
best
that
could
fit
within
our
community.
I
would-
and
I
mentioned
I
meant
to
come
back
to
this
council
member
emic
this.
I
think,
you'll
find
this
interesting
as
well.
J
We
have
partnered
with
the
behavioral
health
organizing
committee
to
research,
a
new
app
that
will
give
officers
the
opportunity
to
run
people
they
come
and
contact
through
some
quick
questions
that
will
then
give
them
an
indication
whether
those
people
are
candidates
for
diversion
so
we're.
We
are
interested
in
looking
into
that
further
and
seeing
how
it
might
actually
work
and
there's
nothing
in
the
contract
that
would
prevent
a
co-responder
model.
In
my
mind,.
J
D
In
here,
real,
quick
and
and
two
quick
comments
regarding
socioeconomic
challenges
and
those
being
the
hot
spots
that
chief
scott
was
talking
about,
law
enforcement
is
responsive
in
nature.
D
When
we're
called
we
respond,
we
deploy
more
resources
to
areas
that
we
know
are
the
challenging
areas
in
the
community,
but
chief
scott
actually
commented
to
some
of
the
goals
that
we
have
and
that's
becoming
more
proactive.
D
We
feel
that
those
are
the
opportunities
to
connect
with
our
youth,
give
them
options
or
have
conversation
conversations
that
may
not
occur
otherwise
and
try
to
plant
that
seed
at
a
younger
age,
whether
it's
through
a
school
resource
officer
like
dare
people,
remember
that,
but
actually
getting
into
the
neighborhoods
and
using
some
of
the
different
groups,
individuals
or
groups
that
might
have
more
credibility
than
we
have
as
the
police
department.
Credibility
with
us
will
come,
but
it's
finding
those
partner
shots
to
try
to
be
more
proactive
in
in
these
challenging
neighborhoods.
D
Another
comment:
real,
quick
chief,
you
were
just
talking
about
collective
bargaining
agreements,
so
responding
to
alderwoman
carrillo's
question.
What
we
find
in
general,
in
a
collective
bargaining
agreement,
is
in
any
given
collective
bargaining.
Agreement
is
if
we
are
replacing
union
work,
that's
the
challenge
that
we
have,
if
we're
not
replacing
or
we're
finding
a
way
to
assist,
that's
typically
something
that
the
union's
not
going
to
challenge
with
a
grievance,
and
I
think
there
you
go.
L
Yeah,
that's
super
helpful
and
then
yeah.
I
guess
so.
As
you
know,
to
recap:
it
would
be
really
helpful
to
have
some
of
these
statistics
broken
down
by
race.
If
that's
information
that
we
collect
super
helpful
to
to
know
what
type
of
calls
are
coming
in
and-
and
it
was
helpful
to
hear
you
put
them
in
those
categories
and
the
reason
why
you
would
or
would
not
feel
good
about
sending.
You
know
some
somebody
without
a
police
officer
out
to
respond
to
those
calls.
L
So
thank
you
so
much,
and
then
I
guess
the
last
thing
is
just
a
a
reminder
as
we're
talking
about
building
relationships
with
folks
in
the
community
and
particularly
in
those
neighborhoods
that
are
more
people
of
color
populated
the
the
the
use
of
of
the
word
citizen,
as
sometimes
excluding
certain
folks
who
live
in
our
community
from
the
narrative
just
yeah,
just
a
little
reminder,
but
really
appreciate
the
presentation
very
helpful.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I
I
think
we
have
exceeded
those
10
minutes.
Actually,
so
I'm
gonna
need
another
motion
and
maybe
let's
make
it
the
last
motion,
I
do
see
that
we
have
a
couple
people
who
would
like
to
speak
and
hopefully
I'm
not
cutting
out
others.
So
it
looks
like
a
council
member
matthew
wants
to
make
a
motion
for
another
10
minutes
motion.
A
Okay,
do
I
have
a
second.
H
A
I
couldn't
tell
who
that
was.
It
was
me
jen,
oh
okay,
council
member
carillo.
Thank
you
very
much,
my
name
kirk.
Would
you
please
call
the
role
council,
member.
B
A
B
I
M
M
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
chief
scott.
Like
my
other
colleagues,
I
really
appreciate
your
report.
Mom
I'll
be
short.
I
really
just
basically
have
a
comment
and
I've
been
reading
in
popular
press
lately
about
a
lot
of
the
effects
of
remote
learning,
particularly
on
youth,
the
increase
in
depression,
I'm
feeling
I'm
disconnected
from
the
communities
that
they
live
in,
and
I
I
really
just
want
to
echo
council
member
ebig's
point
about
you
know
really.
M
I
appreciate
the
police
department's
emphasis
on
trying
to
build
connections
with
youth,
and
I,
like
council
member
emig,
would
certainly
be
interested
in
supporting
additional
resources
for
that
initiative.
I
think
it's
a
very
exciting
part
of
what
your
officers
are
doing
in
this
community
and
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
and
think
that
we
should
do
more
of
that.
So
thank
you.
J
Thank
you
councilmember,
and
I
should
also
mention
that
our
sros
during
the
lockdown
did
spend
a
significant
amount
of
their
time
going
into
homes
where
students
were
having
difficulties
with
with
school
personnel
and
and
trying
to
mitigate
some
of
those
very
issues,
so
our
soros
were
very
busy
during
the
lockdowns
in
that
regard.
Thank
you,
sir.
G
Thanks
mayor
thanks
chief
for
the
presentation,
I
appreciate
that
as
well,
and
I
also
wanted
to
voice
support
for
the
youth
programs.
G
I
remember
chief
hefner
talking
about
the
importance
of
them
of
you
know
the
way
he
phrased
it
is
if
we
don't
give
kids
things
to
do,
they're
going
to
find
things
to
do
that.
G
We're
not
going
to
like
right-
and
you
know
I
can
just
say
that
as
an
adult,
I'm
very
happy
that
we
didn't
all
carry
video
cameras
in
our
pockets
when
I
was
a
child
so-
and
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
different
avenues
that
that
can
take
we've
talked
about,
you
know
supporting
scholarship
programs
at
the
pool,
or
you
know
where
we've
given
some
help
to
the
boys
and
girls
club
to
build
a
new
facility
on
the
west
side.
I
know
the
western
avenue
community
center
does
a
ton
of
after-school
programs
as
well.
G
I
was
very
disappointed
to
hear
that
city
life
is
not
operational
anymore.
I
had
missed
that
news
when
that
stopped
happening
as
well.
So
you
know,
I
appreciate
that
focus
on
the
youth
and
and
keeping
kids
engaged
before
things
go
sideways
right,
but
I
also
I
also
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
mental
health
stuff.
I
actually
have
a
council
initiative
that
I
was
working
on.
G
You
have
that
code
dispatch
happen
so
that
we
can
potentially
send
out
mental
health
workers
to
the
call,
if
that's
with
the
bpd
or
the
bfd,
whichever
is
responding
into
those
situations,
so
that'll
be
coming
forward
next
month,
and
I
definitely
look
forward
to
seeing
how
we
can
best
partner
with
our
non-profit
agencies
to
make
that
happen
and
and
get
people
resources.
I
think
that
our
everybody's
goal
is
to
get
people
either.
You
know
we
don't
want
people
to
get
arrested,
who
shouldn't
be
arrested.
G
We
don't
want
people
in
the
emergency
room
who
shouldn't
be
in
the
emergency
room.
We
want
to
get
people
there's
the
help
that
they
need
to
achieve
a
better
outcome
in
their
life,
so
that'll
be
something
I'm
going
to
bring
forward
we'll
probably
be
talking
about
next
month.
But
again,
thank
you
for
the
presentation
we
appreciate
all
you
did.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
oh
it
looks
like
we
have
a
couple
more
people
here.
I
thought
we
were
done
so
very
quickly.
Council,
member
becker
and
councilmember
bowling.
H
Yeah,
I
will
be
very
quick.
I
I'm
not
a
big.
Thank
you
again,
chief
scott,
you
did
a
great
job
presenting
the
information,
I'm
not
a
big
fan
of
looking
ever
at
any
one
individual
piece
of
data
in
isolation.
H
So,
as
you
do
some
of
the
research
that
our
other
council
members
have
asked,
I
would
maybe
suggest
taking
this
as
well.
You
know
when
you
think
of
the
hot
spots,
look
at
the
fact
that
you're
in
a
hot
spot
and
how
much
that
just
decreases
the
response
time
when
people
do
need
you
and
what
that
does
as
far
as
driving
success
and
help
and
promoting
safety
for
the
community.
H
E
Yeah
I'll
be
real,
quick
too.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
all
the
information.
E
I
really
appreciate
that
you
are
working
and
have
been
working
with
community
organizations,
because
I
think
that's
very
important
and
to
alderman
emig's
comment
about
cahoots.
Basically,
that's
what
that
is
cahoots
was
a
private
organization
that
got
in
cahoots
with
the
police
in
order
to
expand
and
have
those
fingers
out
into
the
community.
So
I
really
support
that
part
of
the
you
know
your
program
so
keep
up
the
good
work.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
okay.
Thank
you,
council.
Member
bowling.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
chief
scott,
for
your
presentation.
We
definitely
appreciate
the
work
that
you
do
and
as
well
as
the
work
that
your
offices
do
and
and
from
me
I
would
say
that
I
I'm
also
appreciative
of
of
the
fact
that
you
are
willing
to
try
different
approaches
in
order
to
better
your
service
to
the
community.
So
that's
just
appreciate.
Thank
you.
So
very
much.
A
D
Real
quick,
thank
you
mayor
and
council.
This
is
the
2020
annual
report
by
the
bloomington
police
department,
the
other
half
of
the
public
safety
presentations
tonight,
chief
west
you're
up.
N
Thank
you,
city
manager,
gleason
good
evening,
mayor
and
council.
Thank
you
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
present
before
you
guys
and
I'll.
Let
you
know
what
happened
in
the
year
2020
with
the
bloomington
fire
department.
As
most
of
you
probably
realize,
kovan
played
a
big
role
in
our
our
our
year.
I'm
not
going
to
say
that
it
didn't
change
things
operationally,
but
it
did
a
little
bit.
N
N
We
knew
that
if,
if
we
didn't
keep
them
safe
and
we
started
losing
personnel
that
it
was
going
to
cause
operational
problems
with
responding
to
incidents
so
again,
like
I
said,
our
top
priority
was
keeping
our
members
safe.
So
how
do
we
do
this?
You
know
we
one
of
the
things
we
did
is
we
worked
with
bloomington
dispatch
quite
a
bit.
N
They
were
fortunate
enough.
The
pro-qa
system
that
we
use
for
emd
had
a
piece
we
could
turn
on
that
actually
dealt
with
pandemics
and
it
allowed
our
dispatchers
to
actually
answer
or
ask
questions
that
actually
dealt
with
the
pandemic
and
provided
us
more
information
and
allowed
us
to
be
more
safe.
As
we
responded
to
those
incidents,
you
know
able
to
get
a
better
idea
if
we
were
responding
to
somebody
that
might
have
been
a
positive
covet
patient
so
that
that
was
a
big
part
in
in
the
first
part
of
it.
N
So
sorry
about
that,
I
should
ahead
and
start
the
slides.
If
you
go
to
the
next
one,
please
there
we
go
so
yeah
so
changes
operationally.
We
just
made
a
few
small
changes.
It
was
a
basically
response
component.
The
number
of
we
were
responding
to
a
scene.
One
one
point:
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
were
minimizing
the
amount
of
people
that
were
being
exposed
to
possible
covet
patients
and
then
other
places.
N
We
wanted
to
prevent
that
exposure
transferring
into
other
parts
of
the
station
vehicles
and
so
forth.
So
from
there
we
also
had
some
challenges
within
the
station.
I
think
this
was
the
bigger
challenge,
understanding
that
this
was
our
firefighters
and
paramedics.
N
Second,
home
is
the
station
and
we
needed
to
find
a
way
to
make
sure
we
were
keeping
them
safe
within
the
station
and
we
had
to
come
up
with
some
creative
ways
to
make
sure
we
spread
people
out,
and
so,
especially
here
at
station
one
and
station
four,
where
the
dormer,
the
bunk
room,
is
basically
a
dormitory
room
and
there
was
no
dividers
in
there.
So
we
actually
moved
beds
into
other
rooms,
making
sure
we
were
spreading
people
out.
N
Eventually,
as
you
can
see
in
the
pictures
there,
we
did
purchase
some
temporary
curtains
that
we
were
able
to
put
up
between
the
beds
to
kind
of
partition
that
off.
So
our
other
challenge
was
ppe.
When
we
first
when
this
first
started
our
we
had
our
normal
ppe
supply,
we
didn't
have
an
abundance
of
pp
equipment
and
it
became
a
concern
real
quick,
because
we
were
hearing
from
our
vendors
that
they
were
limit
going
to
limit
the
amount
of
ppe
we
could
we
could
purchase.
N
So
we
had
to
kind
of
become
creative
with
that,
and
fortunately
we
made
contact
with
the
schools
at
that
point
and
since
they
had
basically
shut
down
for
the
year,
they
had
several
several
types
of
ppe
and
actually
had
disinfectants
that
they
had
in
the
rooms
that
they
realized
that
you
know
it
would
be
a
good
good
idea
to
to
get
those
to
us,
and
so
both
unit
5
and
district
87
donated
several
well,
I
wouldn't
say
pallets,
but
several
boxes
of
ppe
and
several
boxes
of
disinfectant
so
that
helped
us
in
that
and
that
in
that
supply
chain
area.
N
Excuse
me
so
covid
again,
like
I
said,
was
a
challenge
to
us,
but
we
made
it
through
and
I'm
very
proud
of
how
our
our
members
did
handle
it.
You
know
initially,
like
I
said
there
were
some
learning
curves,
but
once
we
we
had
been
added
a
while
things
kind
of
normalized,
and
you
know
we
we
still
are
doing
things
different
than
we
did
before
covet,
but
again
we're
back
to
kind
of
a
normal
response
at
this
point
next
slide.
N
Please,
what
kind
of
accomplishments
did
we
have
this
year
in
in
2020?
We
did
take
delivery
of
a
new
fire
apparatus.
We
took
delivery,
107
107
foot,
aerial
device
that
is
stationed
here
at
station
one.
N
This
was
something
we
had
been
looking
at,
but
we
had.
We
had
a
vehicle
that
was
due
for
replacement
and
we
needed
to
find
something
in
the
downtown
area
that
would
help
us
with
our
iso
rating.
N
The
the
ladder
trucks
that
we
had
had
down
here
for
the
past
few
years
were
not
quite
tall
enough
to
meet
the
requirements
of
iso.
So
we
had
a
group
of
firefighters
that
got
together
and
started
speccing
out
this
vehicle
and
we
were
able
to
fit
this
107
foot
ladder
truck
into
the
station,
which
should,
in
the
future,
help
us
with
our
iso
rating.
N
We
also
purchased
or
took
delivery
of
a
new
ambulance,
and
it
is
located
station
two
again.
This
was
designed
by
members
of
the
fire
department
and
it
meets
their
needs.
You
know
we
would,
as
staff
we,
we
kind
of
oversee
those
committees
making
sure
that
they
understand
how
much
they
have
to
spend
and
they
stay
within
those
spending
limits.
N
But
we
want
them
to
design
these
vehicles
because
they're,
the
ones
that
are
using
them-
and
you
know
us
as
staff-
we
don't
ride
them
anymore
right
in
them
anymore,
and
so
it's
important
that
they're
functional
for
them.
N
We
also
purchased
a
new
utility
truck
with
a
snowplow
and
assault
spreader,
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
get
through
last
year.
We
purchased
it
last
year
and
actually
installation
did
not
start
till
this
year.
Was
the
the
new
upgraded
station
alerting
and
were
so
far
we're
very
pleased
with
this
and
I'm
hoping
to
get
a
little
bit
better
report
on
it
come
next
year
and
how
it's
helped
us
out.
N
N
I'm
still
trying
to
learn
it,
but
it's
a
medicare
piece
that
helps
supplement
the
medicare
payment
we
receive,
and
I
think
we've
heard
finance
director
rathbun
talk
a
little
bit
about
this
in
some
of
his
reports
in
the
past
few
months
about
how
much
money
this
has
brought
in
to
us.
So
this
was
a
program
like
I
said,
chief
moore
started
in
2020
and
we
look
forward
to
continue
it
and
help
our
ambulance
revenues.
N
The
other
thing
that
last
year
that
chief
moore
had
had
started,
and
he
actually
got
opened
up-
was
the
emergency
operations
center
and
keith
moore
had
that
vision
to
have
a
place
for
the
city
to
to
have
for
directors.
Council
members,
the
mayors
to
all
be
able
to
get
together
should
be
needed
in
in
the
case
of
a
disaster
and
working
with
it
in
the
police
department
and
through
the
water
department.
They
found
a
location
which
was
in
the
basement
basement
of
the
water
department,
building
on
division
street.
N
So
we
got
that
opened
up
and
actually
actually
got
some
equipment
placed
in
it.
We
got
some
phones
in
there
with
the
help
of
it
and
we
look
forward
to
continue
working
with
that
this
year.
So
next
slide,
please
yeah.
So
here's
our
2021
projects,
some
things
we're
working
on
for
this
this
coming
year
and
again,
you'll
see
that
top
thing
is
the
fire
department
recruitment.
We
like
we
are
struggling
like
the
police
department
in
in
finding
applicants
for
the
fire
departments.
N
In
fact,
we
just
completed
a
application
process
on
sunday
and
we've
had
we
had
26
applicants
make
it
through
which
I
think
about
when
I
came
on
and
we
had
three
or
four
hundred
applicants
at
that
time,
but
so
so
we're
again
working
with
hr
on
on
the
recruitment
piece
and
again,
we
too
are
trying
to
become
a
diverse
department
trying
to
more
match
what
the
city
looks
like.
So
we're
trying
to
figure
that
piece
out
again
the
station
alerting.
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
that.
We
got
it
purchased.
N
Last
year
the
installation
started
this
year,
and,
and
so
far
it's
worked
out
real
well,
we've
been
using
it
for
now
a
little
over
two
months,
but
there's
some
other
pieces
of
it
that
we
wanted
to
put
into
place
they
had
station
loading
became
a
big
issue
with
safety
within
the
department
or
within
the
fire
departments.
N
N
So
what
this
new
system
we're
looking
at
adding
on
to
it
is
no
more
bright
lights,
more
of
a
red
light
in
in
this
in
the
dorm
rooms
and
then
also
what
they
call
ramped
up
tones,
so
the
tones
kind
of
start
off
soft
and
they
get
louder.
To
kind
of,
I
guess
I
would
say
gently
wake
you
up,
so
we
have
some
a
replacement
of
an
ambulance
in
the
budget
this
next
year
too,
and
another
replacement
of
another
fire
engine
and
then
replacement
of
portable
radios.
N
We've
got
some
portable
radios
that
have
have
come
to
the
end
of
their
life
as
they
are
failing
us,
they're
we're
unable
to
get
them
repaired
so
we're
looking
at
replacing
some
portable
radios.
N
N
So
this
next
slide
is
looking
at
the
number
of
instances
incidents.
We
responded
to
it's
over
the
past
five
years
and
you
know
there's
no
drastic
increases
or
decreases.
We
pray
stayed
pretty
pretty
even
there
for
for
several
years,
16
17
18
and
we
started
seeing
that
increase
in
19
and
20..
N
We
were
watching
our
run
numbers
and
I
was
noticing
that
we
were
increasing
them
by
quite
a
bit,
and
I
thought
well
we're
for
sure
going
to
break
our
record
of
that
11
385
that
we
had
in
2019
easily,
but
as
the
pandemic
hit,
it
was
interesting
to
watch
those
numbers
kind
of
decline
in
in
march
april
and
may
in
fact,
in
march
our
run
number
declined
almost
300
runs
in
that
month,
and
you
know
that
all
goes
along
with
the
pandemic
and
then
I'm
sure
there
were
people
did
not
want
to
go
to
the
hospital
at
the
time.
N
So
the
yellow,
like
I
said,
the
yellow
line,
is
the
the
total
number
of
runs.
The
green
line
is
the
number
of
ems
runs.
We
went
on
so
we
did
89
108
829
last
year
and
then
2654
fire
runs
is
the
red
line,
so
those
are
red.
The
red
line.
N
So
this
year
already,
I
was-
I
was
just
I
just
looked
this
evening
and
we're
already
about
650
runs
ahead
of
where
we
were
last
year
this
at
this
time.
So
I
look
for
look
for
that
total
run
number
to
be
probably
closer
to
the
12
000
mark
by
by
the
end
of
the
year,
so
we
continue
to
increase,
runs
or
incidents
next
slide.
Please.
N
So
this
is
this
is
a
a
look
at
the
number
of
run
or
incidents
per
district,
and
you
can
see
the
the
map
there
with
one
a
one
b
being
station,
one
three,
a
383
b
station,
3
and
so
forth
and,
as
has
been
in
the
past,
you
look
at
that
1a
and
1b.
So
we've
done,
almost
43
percent
of
our
incidents
are
occurring
in
the
station
one's
territory
or
one
a
and
one
b,
so
they're
a
busy
station
up
here
at
station,
one
with
the
next
one.
N
If
you
look
at
station,
three's
run
territory
that
three
air
a
area
you
know
they're
in
there
too,
and
then
station
fours
territories
in
that
1200
run
mark
too
so.
But
that
gives
us
a
little
bit
of
breakdown
of
each
area.
N
So
in
2018,
council
gave
us
six
more
firefighters
to
allow
us
to
operate
a
fifth
ambulance
out
of
a
station
one.
So
we
have
not
been
at
full
staff
manning
for
you
know,
probably
almost
three
or
four
years
now,
so
we've
really
not
had
the
opportunity
to
run
that
ambulance
as
a
second
ambulance
out
of
headquarters.
N
N
So
from
february
to
july,
we
ran
that
fifth
ambulance
and
we
manned
it
with
overtime
personnel
when
needed
and
to
see
if
it
we
could
gather
any
data
and
see
what
it
did
and
we
only
ran
it
for
a
half
a
shift,
so
that
was
only
12
hours
per
day.
Did
we
run
it
so
we
ran
it
started
in
february
and
by
the
time
we
got
to
july,
we
decided
we
just
can't
continue
to
do
this.
N
We
didn't
we
were.
We
noticed
our
overtime
budget
was
starting
to
run
high
plus
we
didn't
want
to
take
the
chance
of
you
know,
there's
two
more
personnel
that
we
could
get
exposed
to
covid,
which
could
affect
us
manning-wise.
So
in
in
july,
we
decided
to
stop
the
the
fifth
ambulance
and
we've
not
run
it
since
we
did
gather
some
data.
N
It
didn't
give
us
good
data
on
response
times,
but
it
did
show
us
that
we
call
unit
our
utilization,
which
is
how
often,
basically,
how
often
like
medic
one
would
be
in
on
a
call
in
in
their
territory,
and
then
we
would
need
they
would
have
another
call,
and
we
would
need
to
bring
another
ambulance
from
another
district
in.
We
did
show
that
we
did
lower
that
that
chance
of
having
to
bring
another
ambulance
in
from
a
different
district.
N
N
So,
as
you
most
of
you
probably
know,
we
do
run
that
ems
chase
vehicle
and
that's
what
several
of
those
are,
as
we
go
out
moment
and
ambulance
in
the
rural
area
and
bring
it
up
to
an
als
level
ambulance
when
they
they
need
that
so,
but
we
did
do
336
mutual
aid
responses
next
slide,
please,
oh
this
breaks
down
our
fire
responses
to
the
call
types.
As
I
said,
we
had
2654
incidents
last
year
that
were
fire
responses.
N
N
There
are
second
and
our
service
calls
will
probably
have
increased
due
the
fact
that
we
may
get
a
call
in
a
dispatch
for
a
person
that
has
fallen
and
just
needs
some
assistance
to
to
get
back
up
or
get
put
back
in
the
chair,
and
so
we
have
changed
our
response
to
that
last
couple
years,
where
we
may
not
sit
in
an
ambulance,
but
we
might
just
send
a
fire
apparatus
to
help
get
that
person
up
and
then
put
them
back
to
where
they
need
to
be,
and
then
yeah.
N
We
will
clear
up
now
again.
This
just
helps
us
keep
our
ambulances
in
service
more
often,
so
they
can
respond
to
their
calls.
A
little
bit
quicker.
N
N
We
did
have
66
fires
with
inside
of
a
building
last
year,
and
so
our
fire
loss
for
last
year
was
just
a
little
over
two
million
dollars,
so
our
tracy
drive
was
our
largest
fire.
Last
year,
1920
tracy
drive,
which
occurred
in
december,
and
we
estimated
it
about
a
500
000
loss.
Then
we
had
a
residential
house
with
a
265
thousand
dollar
loss
and
then
some
smaller
ones
from
that
too,
so,
but
so
so
fire
loss
was
a
million
dollars
next
slide.
Please.
N
Ems
responses:
here's
a
breakdown
of
the
8929
ems
responses
we
had
last
year
again
falls
is
leading
it
has
in
the
past.
Two
sixth
person
was
the
next
one
breathing
problems
and
then
the
psychiatric
problems,
and
you
will
see
pandemic
and
epidemic
outbreak
on
there,
that's
a
new
one.
Like
I
said,
we
were
able
to
start
tracking
those
and
a
good
idea
of
what
we
responded
to.
N
What
we
felt
was
a
pandemic
or
type
patient
was
487
times
so
out
of
those
8929
instance,
we
transported
6725
patients
and
pain,
and
so
that's
how
many
people
would
took
to
the
hospital.
So
not
every
call
we
transported
somebody.
N
Sometimes
we
get
a
refusal
where
somebody
just
decides:
they
don't
want
to
go,
or
it
was
a
medical
alarm
that
went
off
and
and
the
person
accidentally
pushed
it
or
whatever.
So
that
was
down
from
just
a
little
bit
from
2019
where
we
did
6924
and
again,
I
think
that's
the
that
being
down
in
2020
was
just
due
to
the
fact.
I
think
we
had
those
months
in
in
march
april
may,
where
people
just
didn't
want
to
go
to
the
hospital.
At
that
time,
next
slide,
please.
N
So
now
we're
going
to
get
into
the
response
time.
I
know
this.
This
graph
can
sometimes
be
hard
to
understand,
but
the
thing
we
we've
set
a
benchmark
for
the
department
and
what
we're
looking
at
here
is
is
for
fires
and
to
understand
response.
Time
is
the
time
that
dispatch
alerts
us,
so
we
receive
the
tones
of
the
station
to
the
time
we
arrive
on
scene.
Our
first
unit
arrives
on
scene,
so
this
is
this
graph
is
on
on
the
fire
side
of
it.
N
We've
set
a
benchmark
of
five
minutes,
and
20
seconds
is
the
time
we
want
to
to
be
from
the
time
we've
received.
That
call
to
the
time
again
on
scene
and.
N
N
So
as
you
look
at
the
graph,
you're
gonna
see
some
blue
blue
bar
lines
and
you're
going
to
see
the
orange
bar
lines
and
the
blue
is
just
is
basically
just
saying
hey,
you
know
what
this
is
the
50
mark
and
so
57
and
a
half
percent
of
time
or
50
percent
of
the
time.
We
are
well
below
that
five
minutes
and
20
seconds,
which
is
good.
N
We
are
at
five
minutes
and
20
seconds.
75.8
of
the
time
we
run
on
calls.
So
again,
it's
not
bad,
but
we
want
to
be
better
than
that
and
so
the
90
percent
tile
you
can
tell
we
are
at.
I
believe,
six
minutes
and
18
seconds
is
usually
where
we're
at
at
the
90
percent
time.
N
So
again
we
we
got
some
work
to
do
on
that
one
we
we
are
doing
better.
If
you
look
at
the
years
before
we've,
we
have
come
down
in
the
amount
of
time.
So
again,
I
think
you
know
we're
not
real
sure
exactly.
Why
all
why
we're
we're
so
high
still,
some
of
it
has
to
do
with
that
northeast
area,
and
then
some
of
it
has
to
do
with
station
ones
how
many
calls
are
getting
in
their
their
territory.
N
So
we
continue
to
look
at
ways.
We
can
improve
those
times
and
I
think
the
stationary
learning
is
going
to
help.
We
we've
had
conversations
with
departments
that
put
the
new
station
alerting
in
and
they've
seen,
sometimes
between
15
and
45
seconds
improvement
in
in
their
response
times.
So
next
slide
please.
N
So
this
is
the
same
same
graph.
Only
this
time
we're
dealing
with
ems
and
the
the
the
benchmark
time
has
been
lowered
just
a
little
bit
by
about
20
seconds,
and
that's
due
to
the
fact
that
you
know
when
you're
going
on
an
ems
call
you're
not
having
to
get
out
to
the
truck
and
you're
not
having
to
get
dressed.
So
we
we
give
that
extra
little
bit
of
time
on
the
fire
side
for
those
individuals
that
are
they're
having
to
put
their
bunker
gear
on
times.
N
Don't
look,
as
is
great
here
as
far
as
improvement
wise
and
I'm
not
sure
why
that
we've
not
seen
better
times
on
the
ems
side.
We
probably
should,
but
again,
if
you
look
at
that
five
minute
mark-
and
you
know
fifty
percent
of
the
time
we're
we're
at
that
four
minutes
and
eighteen
seconds
and
we're
meeting
this
five
minute
mark
at
sixty
six
point
three
percent
of
the
time,
but
our
6
minute
and
54
seconds
for
the
90
is
just
a
little
bit
higher
than
I'd
like
to
see
it.
N
So
I'm
hoping
we
can
find
some
other
ways
to
help
reduce
this
reduce
that
time
and
get
us
closer
to
that.
90
mark
next
slide,
please.
N
So
what
else
happened?
Last
year
you
know
personnel
wise.
I
talked
about
how
we
are
down
people.
However,
we
did
hire
eight
individuals.
Last
year
we
hired
four
or
I'm
sorry
five
in
in
january,
and
then
I
believe,
four
or
three
in
in
july.
N
Unfortunately,
we
had
two
of
those
individuals
leave
us
already.
They
went
and
they
took
other
jobs,
I
think
closer
to
their
homes
and
we've
kind
of
seen
that
here
in
the
past
few
years-
and
I
mean
I
hate
to
say
that
we've
kind
of
started
to
live
with
it.
But
we
have,
we
can't
be
mad
at
somebody
if
they
want
to
to
to
go
back
to
their
hometown.
N
I
guess
we'd
love
we'd,
find
a
way
to
keep
them
here,
but
it
just
doesn't
seem
to
work
out
all
the
time
like
that.
So
yeah
we
hired
eight
new
members.
We
did
see
six
members
of
the
department
retire
from
september
through
the
first
part
of
december,
including
chief
moore,
and
something
to
note
there
on
those
six
members.
They
were
all
officers
and
combined
had
a
total
of
170
years
of
experience
with
the
department.
N
N
So,
as
we
said
with
the
coveteer,
it
was
kind
of
crazy,
you
know,
and
then
how
did?
How
did
we
continue
to
train
through
this
covet
pandemic?
We
did
it
and
we
found
ways
to
do
it.
Like
most
everything
you
know,
a
lot
of
things
went
virtual.
There
was.
N
N
You
know
again
to
protect
our
personnel,
we
stopped
all
multi-company
trainings,
and
so
basically,
if
you're
going
to
do
training,
it
was
going
to
be
within
the
station
that
you
were
stationed
at
and
with
your
your
personnel
only
and
but
our
guys
did
find
some
creative
waves.
You
can
see
one
of
the
pictures
right
there.
That's
out
at
station.
N
Three
members
put
together
a
course
there
with
the
hose
and
just
using
plywood
and
and
pallets
to
do
their
training,
and
so
some
people
became
real
creative
on
what
they
did
to
make
sure
that
you
know
they
were
getting
the
training
they
needed.
Since
we
weren't
able
to
get
out
and
do
like
we
usually
did.
N
We
were
fortunate
enough
with
when
some
of
the
schools
did
close
like
wesleyan,
we
were
able
to
get
into
some
of
their
buildings
and
to
conduct
trainings
in
their
buildings.
Now
you
can
see
that
kind
of
in
the
top
upper
picture
there,
where
they're
working
down
the
hallway
some
of
our
mandatory
training.
You
know
all
almost
all
of
our
sending
people
to
classes
our
training
came
to
a
halt,
so
we
had
to
find
a
way
for
our
training
or
our
airport
firefighters.
N
They
are
required
on
a
yearly
basis
to
have
a
live
burn
and
so
a
lot
of
times
we
were
sending
people
to
chicago
or
louisville
or
something
to
get
that
live
burn
in.
So
we
had
to
kind
of
figure
out
what
we
would
do
and
and
training
officer
reeb
was
able
to
get
in
contact
with
somebody
that
has
mobile
props
and
we
brought
mobile
props
in
here
to
the
airport
and
we
did
our
training
here
so
so
with
everything
that
happened
last
year
you
know
I.
N
I
was
kind
of
surprised
when
I
asked
our
training
officer
how
many
total
hours
of
training
we
had
compared
to
2019,
and
I
was
really
surprised
that
we
were
only
about
200
hours,
shorter,
total
training
hours
in
2020
than
we
were
in
2019,
so
we
had
20
118
hours
of
training
in
in
2020.
So
I
was
very
impressed
with
that,
especially
for
everything
that
was
going
on
next
slide.
Please.
D
Hey
chief
yeah,
I'm
going
to
jump
in
here
real
quick
you're
well
over
the
20
minutes,
I'm
going.
M
D
Well,
I'm
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
the
mayor
to
see
if
he
can
get
an
extension
on
your
presentation
as
you
wrap
this
up
mayor.
Okay,.
A
Is
there
a
motion
to
extend
it
by.
A
G
B
H
A
Okay,
thank
you.
The
eyes
have
it.
There
are
no
needs
to
announce.
Surprisingly,
so
go
hey
chief
west.
N
Sorry
about
that,
thank
you
for
extending
my
time.
I
should
shorten
this
up
here
shortly,
so
public
education
was
the
next
thing
I
mean
you
know
it
became
a
a
challenge
for
our
public
education
officer,
eric
davis
and
you
know,
he's
used
to
being
face
to
face
with
individuals
and
out
in
the
public,
and
we
just
had
to
kind
of
end
that.
So
how
did?
How
did
we
overcome
that?
Well,
social
media?
N
You
know,
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
bad
things
with
social
media,
but
I
think
in
this
case
it
really
did
help
us
out
allowing
us
to
get
messages
out,
such
as
the
importance
of
scott's
law.
You
know
smoke,
alarms
and,
and
one
of
the
programs
that's
out
there
now
is
called
close
your
door
before
your
doze
and
just
so
he
was
able
to
push
stuff
out
through
social
media
which
helped
out
quite
a
bit.
N
He
worked
with
the
schools
in
the
fall
because
a
lot
of
times
that's
where
he
would
have
been
at
and
he
again
virtually
he
was
able
to
do
some
stuff,
zoom
or
however,
whatever
virtual
media
they
used.
But
one
of
the
neat
things
he
did
is
he
did
an
interactive
tour
of
station,
and
so
the
younger
kids
were
able
to
to
do
this
tour
and
actually
click
on
it,
and
you
know
different
things
would
occur
so
that
was
was
unique.
N
Eric
did
work
with
the
hr
department.
We
did
create
eight
videos
to
assist
with
the
recruitment,
so
I
I
think
those
are
out
there
now
and
I'm
hoping
that
they're
helping
us
out-
and
probably
you
know
we
all
saw
and
heard
is-
is
the
birthday
parades
you
know
now
again,
even
our
guys.
N
We're
used
to
having
people
come
into
the
stations
and
getting
tours
and
stuff,
and
this
was
a
way
for
us
to
still
kind
of
intermingle
with
them
out
in
the
out,
and
even
though
we
weren't
getting
face
to
face
with
them,
we
were
able
to
see
them
as
we
were
doing
these
parades
next
flight.
Please
real
quick,
a
couple
things.
Our
hazardous
materials
team
had
a
very
uneventful
year.
N
Last
year
we
did
have
eight
instances
that
responded
to
most
of
these
were
small
spills,
fuel
releases
and
that
kind
of
thing,
the
one
thing
we
did
do
right
before
kobe,
we
were
able
to
do
some
joint
training
with
the
normal
fire
department's
technical
rescue
team.
This
was
put
on
mabus
and
they
actually
provided
funding
for
this.
In
fact,
we
we
were
able
to
recoup
our
overtime
that
we
we
occurred
when
we
did
this
training.
This
training
took
place
just
out
west
of
town
here
at
a
facility.
N
So
next
slide,
please
and
then
the
last
thing
is
by
state
statute,
we're
required
to
investigate
all
fires,
and
so
we
do
have
six
trained
fire
and
arson
investigators,
and
last
year
they
investigated
35
fires
and
I
they
broke
down
into
causes
of
them
were
14
were
accidental.
N
Eight
were
left
undetermined
at
this
point.
Currently,
five
are
still
under
investigation
and
then
the
one
that
was
a
little
surprising
to
to
me
was
we
had
actually
eight
intentional
set
fires
last
year,
whether
it
was
in
a
vehicle
or
in
in
a
building.
So
these
investigators
on
these
fires
will
work
with
the
the
cid
from
the
bloomington
police
department
and
and
try
to
solve
these
cases
or
or
get
an
arrest
made
on
these.
So
next
slide,
please,
I
think
that's
it.
A
Okay,
it
looks
like
we
have
council
member
ward.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation.
Chief
west
councilman
award,
yes
and
council.
F
Thank
you
so
much
chief
west
that
was
really
helpful
and
and
illuminating.
F
For
probably
obvious
reasons,
I'm
really
curious
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
the
calls
to
in
district
1a
and
1b,
and
I
wonder,
are
you
able
to,
and
maybe
you
don't
have
these
these
data
on
the
at
the
top
of
your
head?
But
are
you
able
to
give
me
a
sense
of
were
most
of
those
calls
to
1a
and
1b
for
fire
or
ems.
N
I
don't
know
for
sure
I
mean
part
of
it
might
be
the
socioeconomic
piece
of
it.
I
think,
and
then
you
know
there
are
more
fires
over
on
the
west
side
in
those
areas
than
in
other
areas.
We've
seen
that,
but
you
know
otherwise,
I'm
not
real
sure
why.
F
And
then
one
last
question
related
to
that:
do
you
have
a
sense
or
or
is
it
possible
to
get
a
sense
of
how
many
of
those
ems
calls
in
particular
might
be
to
repeat
repeat,
calls
to
the
same
addresses.
N
We
I
don't
have
that
right
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
we
can
we.
We
can
see
that
or
find
that
information
out.
I
know
that
is
something
that
we've
in
the
past.
We
have
had
those
locations
where
we
we
do
get
multiple
calls
to
a
single
individual
and
unfortunately,
we
had
a
what
we
call
a
oh.
What
did
they
call
her?
N
But
then
I
think
it
got
taken
away
a
couple
years
ago,
and
so
you
know
we're
we're
trying
to
find
that
person
just
kind
of
like
the
place
where
you
know
we
can
find
a
way
to
help
those
individuals
out.
F
N
N
N
E
Yeah
thanks
for
the
report,
I
appreciate
it.
I
have
just
a
few
two
short
questions.
You
showed
a
map
with
the
1a
1b
6a
southwest
bloomington
didn't
have
a
number.
E
It
was
all
light
and
I'm
like
I
know
I
know
you
come
out
there,
but
and
then
also
you,
you
have
an
intergovernmental
agreement
with
normal.
Is
that
correct?
Where
you
share,
I
mean
you
take
calls
if
they're
not
available
or
you
both
throw
up
at
a
big
fire
or.
N
Yeah,
so
that's
our
that's
what
we
it's
called
a
couple,
different
things:
mutual
aid
or
automatic
aid
is,
and
so
the
mutual
aid
is
more
of.
What
we're
doing
right
now
is
where,
when
they
run
out
of
units,
you
know
we
will,
we
will
respond
over
there
and
assist
them
if
we
run
out
of
units
they'll
do
the
same
thing
for
us.
Okay,
the
auto
eight
is
more
on
the
fire.
N
I
guess
you
should
say
is
more
on
the
fire
side,
where
automatically
they
would
get
dispatched
with
us
to
a
specific
hall
and
really
the
only
time
that
happens
now
is
if,
if
we
do
have
a
a
fire
in
a
building
that
we
know
a
a
working
fire
on
our
next
alarm,
they
will
automatically
get
dispatched
with
this
to
help
provide
one
unit.
E
N
So
they
they've
taken
on
the
ambulance
services
they've
contracted
with
hudson
just
for
ambulance
at
this
point,
so
you
know
it
it
can
affect
us
if,
if
they're
out
on
in
those
locations-
and
they
get
so
they've,
got
three
ambulances
total
on
duty
at
one
time,
so
if
one
of
them
does
go
out,
you
know
that
that
drops
them
down
to
two.
There
have
been
mult
times
that
I'm
sure
we've
gone
up
to
a
system
if
their
other
two
ambulances
were
out
on
calls.
Also.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I
don't
see
any
other
hand,
so
just
want
to
say
thank
you
chief
west,
for
your
presentation
and
wonderful
work
that
you
do
with
your
staff
and
look
forward
to
a
another
exciting
year.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay.
A
D
D
We
were
waiting
on
guidelines
still
waiting
for
clearer
guidelines,
but
we
do
have
definitely
enough
to
discuss
with
council
in
the
community
this
evening,
so
the
primary
purpose
is
going
to
be
turning
the
floor
over
to
the
finance
director
scott
rathbun,
to
share
what
those
guidelines
are
and
then
open
this
up
to
a
process
for
you,
mayor
and
council,
to
discuss
possibly
what
next
steps
are,
as
this
takes
shape.
D
One
thing
that
I
will
also
share
is
you
know,
sharing
that
not
everything's
etched
in
stone,
yet
whether
it's
the
guidelines,
we
also
saw
in
this
last
week
that
the
allotment
that
we
thought
that
we
had
for
the
city
of
bloomington
at
13.9
million
or
something
very
close
to
that,
actually
dropped
down
to
13.4
million,
and
that
is
based
on
our
lower
unemployment
rates
in
our
community.
D
So
it's
good
for
that
reason,
but
we
did
lose
a
little
bit
more
than
or
a
little
bit
less
than
500
000
of
the
funding
that
we
expect
to
receive
scott,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you.
Thank
you.
P
Thank
you,
city
manager,
gleason.
Yes,
this
this
literally,
is
a
kick-off
discussion.
The
guidance
did
not
come
out
until
last
monday,
we
had
a
general
outline
as
most
everyone,
I
think,
had
a
chance
to
see.
Basically,
four
bullet
points
for
the
use
of
these
funds.
P
The
151
page
guidance
even
has
the
title
of
interim
final
rule
and
there's
questions
embedded
within
that
guidance
posed
to
the
municipality.
So
you
know
this.
This
will
be
in
motion,
but
this
is
an
opportunity
to
start
thinking
what
this
could
mean
to
the
city
running
through
some
of
the
general
outlines
of
the
eligibility
of
the
funds
kind
of
getting
the
creative
juices
flowing.
If
you
will
breaking
it
down
into
a
timeline
potentially
between
you
know,
more
relief
to
the
community
versus
a
long
term
that
I'm
seeing
the
term
transformative
used.
P
I
mean
this.
This
is
a
tremendous
material,
positive
event
for
the
city,
so
thinking
big,
knowing
there's
immediate
need,
but
also
wanting
to
take
the
time
to
kind
of
get
everyone
on
the
same
page
see
the
stakeholders
that
need
to
be
involved
and,
and
do
it
right
from
the
get-go
next
slide.
Please.
P
I
mean
the
american
rescue
plan,
a
1.9
trillion
dollar
covid
relief
package,
our
auditors,
baker,
tilley
and
most
other
advisors
are
sort
of
breaking
this
relief
package
into
two
components
of
the
direct
relief
to
state
and
local
governments,
known
as
the
fiscal
recovery
funds
that
column
on
the
left,
which
is
the
direct
funds
and
then
the
other
provisions
which
they
refer
to
as
competitive,
and
these
are
more
grants,
yep
funds
that
need
to
be
applied
for,
and
so
tonight
we're
going
to
be,
focusing
primarily
or
almost
completely
on
the
fiscal
recovery
funds
and
what
that
means
for
the
city
of
bloomington
next
slide,
please.
P
P
Obviously,
support
for
coveted
responses,
so
the
costs
related
to
mitigating
the
spread
of
covid
is
part
of
this
replace
lost
public
sector
revenue.
There's
a
lot
of
question
marks
around
this
category.
All
municipalities
have
lost
revenue,
but
what
can
we
use
if
we,
if
we
claim
our
eligibility
based
on
those
revenues?
What
can
we
use
those
dollars
for
there's?
You
know
10
15
pages
in
the
guidance
related
to
this
and
there's
just
terms
in
there
that
just
just
leave
it
kind
of
open.
P
So
it's
a
big
question
mark
at
this
point,
but
we
will
be
digging
into
it:
economic
stabilization
for
households
and
businesses.
Obviously,
if
we're
breaking
this
this
plan
down
into
short
term
and
longer
term,
that's
probably
one
that
that
will
need
more
immediate
attention
and
then
address
systemic
public
health,
inequal
impact
of
the
pandemic.
P
So
what
does
it
specifically
mean
for
the
city
of
bloomington?
As
a
city
manager
referenced?
Our
allocation
is
13.4
million
dollars,
roughly,
it
was
when
the
initial
guidance
or
guidance
came
out.
The
initial
plan
was
written
to
the
law
on
march
11th.
Our
allocation
was
around
13.95
million.
P
These
numbers
are
based
from
my
understanding
on
population
and
unemployment
rates.
So
I'm
not
sure
what
kind
of
you
know
recipes
are
going
into
the
sausage
there,
but
it
did
drop
down
to
13.4
million,
still
still
a
very
material
positive
event
impact
to
the
community.
So
still
very
pleased
with
this.
The
first
installment
was
is
due
in
may.
P
It
was
actually
supposed
to
be
received
within
60
days
of
enactment
of
the
bill,
the
law
which
would
have
made
it
payable
last
monday
or
tuesday,
but
the
guidance
didn't
come
out
until
last
monday,
all
along
we
were
aware
or
were
notified,
that
there
was
going
to
be
a
certification
component
to
this,
where,
basically,
the
municipality
would
be
certifying,
it
would
utilize
the
funds
related
to
the
eligibility
requirements
that
was
not
issued
until
last
monday.
I
checked
with
some
of
my
peers
to
make
sure
I
had
not
missed
that
weeks.
P
We've
got
a
confirmation
back
from
the
treasury
stating
that
it's
going
to
take
up
to
four
days
to
review
the
four
days
kind
of
came
and
went
so
you
know
my
assumption
is
that
they
were
probably
overwhelmed
with
submissions
that
first
the
first
week,
so
I'm
not
really
certain
as
to
how
soon
those
funds
are
going
to
come
in,
but
they
are.
I
I
do
expect
them
in
may.
I'm
I'm
actually
expecting
them
next
next
week
and
then
the
second
installment
would
be
due
in
12
months.
P
The
last
line
here
is
kind
of
related
again,
if
you're,
if
we're
splitting
this
into
you
know,
a
timeline.
Funds
must
be
obligated
by
december
31st,
2024
and
spent
by
december
31st.
2026.
So
obligated
basically
means
you
know:
we've
we
have
a
contract
in
place
or
we've
been
invoiced.
P
You
know
the
project
is
underway,
so
you
know
there's
a
long-term
component
to
these
funds
and
not
not
to
say
there
isn't
a
an
immediate
need
for
the
residents
and
businesses
that
are
that
are
being
definitely
impacted,
but
we
just
want
to
make
sure
we
weigh
all
those
and
when
we're
making
these
move
forward,
these
four
decisions.
Unfortunately,
for
the
city,
you
know
our
local
cure
funds
that
we
received
last
year.
3.2
million
are
strong
economy.
P
We
didn't
have
to
cut
services,
we
didn't
have
to
use
utilize
our
reserves
so
another.
You
know
those
are
other
components
to
take
into
this
decision
and
once
again,
I'm
thinking
I'm
saying
you
know
our
advisors,
the
webinars
that
we've
watched
you
know
we're
recommending,
you
know,
think
big
related
to
a
transfer,
transformative
decision
making
and
impact
on
the
community
again.
That
is
not
to
say
that
we
don't
have
immediate
needs
next
slide,
please
just
real
briefly.
I
I
wanted
to
make
public.
You
know
some
of
the
examples,
the
use
of
funds.
P
P
You
know
supporting
the
public
health
response,
rep
replacing
the
revenue,
as
I
mentioned,
you
know
we're
thinking
that
if
we
can
utilize
or
the
eligibility
of
the
funds
related
to
revenue
losses,
it
might
give
us
more
flexibility
in
the
use
of
those
we're
not
certain
related
to
that
and
there's
there's
a
formulas
related
to
calculating
how
much
revenues
were
lost
using
2019
as
the
base
year
and
a
4.1
percent
annualized
increase
thereafter,
but
it
has
to
be
aggregate
funds
lost,
not
just
individual
categories
and
it
goes
across
all
funds,
so
the
inclusion
of
the
arena
and
parks
and
things
like
these.
P
Of
the
treasury
addressing
negative
impacts
to
citizens
and
the
residents,
and
then
you
know
potential
premium
for
essential
workers
next
slide.
Please
and
then
further
examples
I'm
going
to.
Actually
you
know
we
mentioned
I'm
going
to
skip
down
the
equity
focus
services
address,
educational
disparities.
P
You
know
leveling
the
playing
field
and
then
there's
the
really
broad
category
of
water
and
sewer
and
broadband
infrastructure.
So
you
know
the
at
the
at
the
end
of
this
process.
If,
if
we
can't
come
come
up
with
eligible
funds
related
to
some
of
these
other
categories,
you
know
we
always
have
water
and
sewer
infrastructure
projects
that
we
can
utilize
these
funds.
For
so
I'm
you
know,
this
is
a
longer.
It's
a
long
term
use
and
eligibility
requirement
related
to
these
funds.
P
We
have
time
to
make
some
decisions,
but
I
think
in
the
back
of
our
minds,
we
know
if,
if
we
can't
allocate
our
funds
according
to
the
guidelines
of
the
treasury,
we
can
always
fall
back
to
this
use
next
slide,
please
again
not
not
to
to
be
redundant,
but
I
just
want
to
state.
This
is
a
very,
very
positive
event
for
the
city.
You
know
nearly
13
and
a
half
million
dollars
to
come
in
over
the
next
12
months.
P
Again,
the
funds
must
be
obligated
by
12
31
2024.
So
we
have
some
time
to
think
I'm
looking
at
this
or
I've
laid
out
here.
One
way
to
think
about
this
is
short-term
relief
versus
longer-term
infrastructure,
transformative
change
for
the
city.
You
know
who
do
we
want
involved
in
the
decision-making
process
staff?
Council
community?
Do
we
want
to
include
regional
partners?
Do
we
want
to
combine
resources?
P
P
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
assess
other
american
recover
rescue
plan
program
funds
versus
using
fiscal
recovery
funds
to
avoid
duplicating
resources.
So
we
have
the
rental
assistance
program
the
state's
putting
on
you
know.
We
want
to
be
cautious
about
not
offering
something
similar
so
that
we're
duplicating
the
use
of
those
funds
on
considerations
for
transparency
and
communication,
we're
evaluating
here
internally.
P
Accounting
controls
and
the
investment
of
funds,
and
we've
already
set
up
a
project
code
within
the
accounting
system
to
track
the
revenues,
we're
tracking
all
the
expenditures
in
a
particular
project
code,
we'll
always
be
able
to
report
on
the
ins
and
outs
of
those
dollars,
the
investment
of
funds.
This
is
a
future
topic
for
council,
we're
reviewing
our
investment
policy
internally
and
potentially
even
an
advisor
to
be
related
to
that
next
slide.
Please,
so
the
department
of
treasury
has
issued
the
guidance
they
have
some
some
pretty
good
documentation
out
there.
P
A
lot
of
it
is
still
vague,
though,
but
I
wanted
to
we
wanted
to
include
if
anyone
wants
to
do
some
research
on
their
own.
Some
of
the
links
to
these
resources
there's
also
along
with
these
I've
kind
of
listed
them
in
an
order
of
you,
know,
least
detail
the
most
detail.
There's
a
frequently
asked
questions
document
on
the
treasury
as
well.
So
if
you
go
to
that
home
page,
that's
a
pretty
good
document
as
well.
I
was
looking
at
today
it's
about
16
pages,
long,
so
somewhere
kind
of
in
the
middle
there.
P
That
summarizes
it
just
in
different
ways
than
some
of
the
other
documents
internally.
You
know
we
know
there's
going
to
take
some
time
for
us
to
study
this.
We
know
all
of
our
advisors
and
and
other
resources
like
gfoa.
You
know
they.
They
have
people
that
specialize
in
understanding
legislative
guidance
and
so
we're
kind
of
waiting
as
we're
waiting
for
them
to
you
know
kind
of
do
another
wave
of
webinars
and
issue
another
wave
of
recommended
actions
and
their
their
take
on
these
and
we're
studying
it
ourselves.
D
Thank
you,
scott
appreciate
the
presentation
definitely
more
to
come
on
these
discussions,
but
at
this
time
mayor
I'm
going
to
turn
it
back
to
you.
A
Okay,
well.
Thank
you.
Sorry.
I
hit
the
wrong
button
here,
the
camera
with
us,
but
yes,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
the
presentation
and
I
scott
hit
on
a
number
of
things
that
I
I
also
had
a
question
about
you
know
is:
what
is
the
process
going
to
look
like
for
all
of
us
and
how
do
we,
you
know?
Who
do
we
need
to
reach
out
to
to
to
understand
what
the
needs
are
in
the
community?
A
One
of
the
things
that
I
I
am
very
careful
about.
I
understand
you
know
it's
kind
of
there
can
be
a
lot
of
confusion
about
what
is
going
on.
There's
lots
of
programs
going
on,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
duplicate
efforts
and
make
the
best
use
of
these
dollars.
A
So
with
that
said,
I
I
look
forward
to
us,
putting
together
a
process
that
allows
us
to
to
do
this.
Very
thing
and
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
see
if
we
have
questions
from
council
members.
E
E
E
But
whether
it's
you
know
getting
people
in
and
and
doing
a
video
united
way
had
done
a
video
conference
about
this
illinois
rescue
plan
for
the
landlords
and
rent
relief,
and
I
think
that,
if
something
like
that
was
offered
to
educate
us,
I
don't
know
who
you
would
bring
in
to
do
that
and
then
a
broader
discussion
about
where
we
might
want
to
spend
things
and
in
the
meat.
In
the
meantime,
we
would
get
more
specific
direction
from
the
federal
government.
E
P
I
I
agree
my
my
quick
comment
on
that
is
you
know
our
intent
is
to
continue
studying
internally
the
guidance
but
we're
kind
of
waiting,
as
I
mentioned,
for
that
kind
of
second
wave
of
of
informational
webinars
by
gfoa
by
baker,
tilly,
and
then
you
know
we'll
condense,
that
and
to
more
manageable
format.
For
for
you,
guys
for
council
and
for
for
city
manager,
deputy
city
manager
internally
and
provide
additional
education
as
it
comes
in.
We
think
that
you
know
the
the
guidance
you
know.
P
The
interim
final
rule
with
the
questions
you
know
will
probably
be
reissued.
You
know,
I'm
I'm
just
making
a
guess,
but
you
know
within
30
days
they
could
refine
that,
but
we
do
know
that
there
are
all
these
advisors
that
are
scrutinizing
this
guidance
just
like
we
are,
but
they're
trained
and
kind
of
interpreting.
P
P
Yeah
it
you
know,
I
thought
that
that
was
going
to
be
our
most
flexible
category
as
well.
I've
read
that
section
a
couple
of
times.
P
It's
going
to
be
it's
aggregate
revenue
or
against
general
revenues,
so
the
definition
of
general
revenues
across
all
funds.
We
need
to
just
define
whether
or
not
we
can
include
the
arena
parks
revenues
which
we
don't
put
in,
that
major
tax
revenue
exhibit
that
we
we
do
every
month
parks
parks
revenue.
A
lot
of
it
has
an
offset
in
expense.
So
if
they
don't
do
a
program,
we
don't
have.
The
offsetting
expense
pools
is
a
perfect
example
of
that
we
don't
open
a
pool,
we
don't
have
any
expense.
P
So
if
we
can
utilize
pool
revenues,
you
know
in
our
revenue
picture
and
our
loss
for
the
year.
You
know
that
creates
flexibility.
You
know
with
within
our
request
and
then
there's
a
section
related
to
you
know
what
you
I
haven't
printed
off
here,
what
you
can
utilize
lost
revenues
for
it's
not
just
wide
open,
but
in
a
way
it
is
because
there's
this
language
in
there
that's
kind
of
maddening
a
little
bit
too,
because
there's
all
these
but
are
not
limited
to
comments
in
the
guidance.
P
I'm
sorry,
if
get
into
too
many
details,
but
government
services
that
we
can
utilize.
The
lost
revenues
or
include,
but
not
limited,
maintenance
or
pay,
go
funding
infrastructure,
including
roads,
modernization,
cyber
security,
etc.
So
I'm
sorry
kind
of
that
that
that
revenue
picture
is
like
one
of
the
biggest
ones.
We
want
to
understand
the
quickest
and
we
do
just
have
a
couple
of
questions.
A
big
question
marks
in
there.
O
Well,
it's
I
mean
it
was
looking
like
to
me
that
just
the
major
tax
revenue
summaries
that
you
put
out
were
already
showing
you
know
through
february,
over
five
million
dollars
under
what
your
expectations
were
for
those
various
tax
revenue
categories,
so
not
even
withstanding
the
other
potential
public
sector
revenue
losses.
I
mean
that
essentially
eats
up
this
year's.
You
know
potential
payment.
I
guess.
P
Right,
you're
you're
exactly
right,
it's
just
it's!
We
have
the
requirements
we
have
to.
We
have
to
do
the
reporting
as
of
calendar
year
ends,
and
we
have
to
use
this
4.1
percent
appreciation
factor
so
that
information
we
submit
is
versus
budget,
so
it
may
end
up
being
approximately
5
million,
but
we
have
to
do
the
calculation
based
on
2019
and
then
roll
it
forward
by
using
four
percent
increases
per
year
and
then
compare
our
actuals
compared
to
that
number
to
see
what
our
lost
revenues
are.
P
So
you
know
it
may
end
up
being
what,
but
I
guess
I'll
use
this
example.
If
we,
if
we
thought
we
were
going
to
do
really
well
and
we
budgeted
a
high
number,
we
might
be
way
under
that
budget
number,
but
if
it
doesn't
correlate
with
the
the
requirements
of
the
treasury
with
this,
which
four
percent
is
a
pretty
hefty
increase
per
year.
P
But
if
2019
our
base
year
was
low
and
using
four
percent
per
year,
we
might
not
be
at
a
full
five
million
dollar
loss
due
to
cove,
so
that's
really
getting
into
the
weeds.
But
it's
good,
for
these
are
good
questions
for
you
guys
to
understand.
P
Not
you
guys,
you
counsel,
to
understand
that
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
crunching
of
numbers,
because
we
have
to
substantiate
these
and
we
have
to
do
them
very
specifically
to
the
way
the
treasury
was
requiring
us
to
submit.
I
think
it's
like
a
quarterly
submission
that
we
have
to
do.
It
has
to
be
very
standardized
so
that
they're
not
looking
at
different
financial
support.
You
know
from
all
these
municipalities
across
the.
O
Yeah
well,
I
was
asking
for
a
couple
of
reasons
I
mean
first
of
all,
it
seems
like,
on
the
one
hand,
we
can
look
at
this
and
think
of
it
as
a
windfall
think
big.
What
are
we
going
to
do?
How
will
we
spend
it?
On
the
other
hand,
you
know
when
I'm
looking
at
the
revenue
loss.
Just
from
these
last,
you
know
10
or
9
or
10
months.
I
guess
from
this
coveted
period,
it's
it's
almost
a
wash.
O
So
if
we're
able
to
operate
with
that
much
revenue
loss
and
use
this
fund
in
a
creative
way
or
transformative,
I
think,
is
the
word
that
was
used
in
the
content.
Then
that
would
cause
me
to
ask:
how
is
it
that
we're
operating
with
five
million
dollars
under
what
our
assumptions
were
for
those
revenue
categories
during
that
period?
O
O
How
much
money
really
is
this,
and
if
it
really
is
around
those
tax
loss,
categorical
gaps,
then
it
seems
to
be
pretty
much
in
alignment
with
the
losses
that
have
been
incurred.
P
You're
coming
up
at
it
from
the
right
angle,
I
I
will
comment
quickly
that
we
we
did
get
3.2
million
dollars
in
grant
revenue
last
fall
so
that
materially
offset
you
know
a
lot
of
those
losses.
So
that's
that's
one
of
the
reasons
you
know
that
we're
not
being
severely
impacted
during
the
current
during
the
21
fiscal
year
because
of
the
local
cure
money
that
came
in
last
year,
the
3.2
million,
and
then
you
know
we
did.
P
M
O
Yeah,
okay.
Well
I
I
appreciate
that
I'll
just
leave
with
the
comment
that,
obviously
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
passion
around
our
roads.
That's
a
word
that
you
mentioned
in
this
and
with
that
particular
category
of
revenue
being
down
and
conceivably
will
be
down
materially
rep.
K
L
K
You're
asking
them
I'm
wondering
too
about
you,
know
getting
more
details
related
to
these
numbers,
but
scott
did
at
this
point,
though
we're
funding
our
infrastructure
funding
is
is
as
we
we
promised
and
budgeted
for
correct,
correct.
Okay,
I.
P
K
Well,
I
I
would
argue
that
or
suggest
that
this
be
a
parallel
process,
that,
while
we're
scrutinizing
more
the
ramifications
of
all
of
these
guidelines
and
really
thinking
about
how
much
in
the
end
we
we
can
make
choices
about
expenditures.
K
I
I
wonder
if
there,
if
simultaneously,
we
can
start
to
gather
some
information
from
people
locally
that
we've
already
already
partnered
with,
but
in
terms
of
those
needs
that
we
see
becoming
increasingly
important.
I
know
that
that
some
of
us
have
discussed
using
perhaps
a
piece
of
these
funds
to
offset
the
utilities
costs.
K
The
other
other
issue
that
I've
been
hearing
about
recently.
A
lot
is
real
concern
around
child
care,
as
families
are
trying
to
get
back
to
work
and
and
figure
out
next
steps,
and,
and
certainly
as
we
move
into
trying
to
stabilize
our
housing
insecure.
I
mean
there's
just
I'd
like
us
to
try
to
to
get
information
about
where
those
gaps
are
in
the
community
from
from
people
who
are
doing
that
work.
K
D
And
and
real
quick
to
that
point,
alderwoman
emic,
we
are
you
know
when
we
get
to
the
point.
You
know,
let's,
let's
say
we're,
writing
checks
or
funding
different
projects.
You
know
we
are
going
to
be
providing
you
as
much
data
as
we
possibly
can
so
that
you're
making
informed
decisions
because
there's
going
to
be
segments
of
the
community
individual
residents
of
the
community
that
are
going
to
ask
why
not
this
or
why
not
that?
D
So
we
we
want
to
equip
you
all
with
the
data
to
again
support
the
decisions
that
are
eventually
going
to
be
made.
So.
E
Yeah,
it's
real
quick
when
alderman
evening
was
talking
about
reaching
out.
The
question
that
had
come
to
mind
was
united
way,
has
kind
of
done
some
of
this
research
and
they
have
a
structure
in
place,
and
I
wonder
if
we
could
kind
of
feed
into
that,
or
at
least
work
with
them
partner
with
them
to
get
some
discussion
going
because
they
have
their
ear
to
the
ground
and
they're
they
are
going
to
be
advertising
the
illinois
program
a
lot.
So
if
we
partnered
with
them
that
might
be
beneficial.
D
You
know,
and
it's
a
good
one-
it's
there
are
many
resources
out
there
that
we
will
be
calling
upon
again
to
collect
that
data
so
that
that
council
can
make
informed
decisions.
A
Sounds
good
and
next
we
have
councilmember
becker
who
has
a
question
or
comment.
H
Yeah,
this
is
just
hopefully
building
on
the
other
question
and
it's
it's
a
way
that
getting
the
information
I
think
other
folks
are
asking
for
is
helpful
to
me,
and
that
is
if
we
look
at
the
request,
as
sheila
mentioned
it,
and
and
actually
as
everybody
mentioned
it-
I
want
to
see
here's
a
category
that
we
believe
there's
a
need
and
and
maybe
we'll
pick
up
small
business
assistance
as
an
example.
H
H
So
if
we
can
get
the
data
and
just
go
across
all
the
lines
and
say,
there's
grants
on
these
three
from
these
three
organizations
on
this
topic
and
kind
of
put
it
into
a
nice
format
where
we
can
make
some
decisions
with
really
good
data
to
match
the
need
versus
the
the
available
funds.
From
this
and
every
other
program,
I
think
it'll
be
easier
to
make
good
decisions.
A
Yes,
I
think
that
made
councilman
becker,
I
said,
thank
you
so
city
manager
gleason,
I
don't
see
any
other
hand,
so
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
to
ask
what
should
the
council
expect
between
now
and
and
the
future,
what
are
kind
of
the
next
steps
as
far
as
staff
is
concerned,
are
we
having
another
committee
as
a
whole
at
one
point
or.
D
Definitely
as
soon
as
we
get
information
we're
going
to
push
that
to
council,
I
think
that
there's
gonna
be
stuff.
That's
coming
at
us,
so
quickly
that
we
can't
really
wait
for
the
committee
of
the
whole
every
month
to
make
these
follow-up
presentations,
but
we're
going
to
wait
until
we.
We
feel
that
we
have
something
of
substance
to
publicly
inform
council
communication
and
council
will
be
by
way
the
city
manager
updates,
as
we
collect
information
along
the
way.
D
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much,
so
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
move
to
the
next
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
item
seven.
A
I
council
initiative
by
council
member
ward
to
direct
city
staff
to
seek
input
from
representatives
of
the
local
disability
community
and
provide
city
council
with
an
updated
recommendation
for
an
ada
accessibility
transition
plan.
A
Just
so
you
you
know
those
of
you
who,
especially
those
of
you
who
have
not
been
a
part
of
a
council
initiative,
discussion,
there's
not
much
of
a
discussion.
Actually
councilmember
ward
is
going
to
present
her
initiative
for
three
minutes
and
we
do
have
three
choices.
A
She's
gonna
recommend
a
specific
motion
and
basically
will
have
each
one
of
us
will
or
each
one
of
you
who
will
have
to
go
and
decide
whether
or
not
you
want
to
support
her
motion
to
move
on
to
the
next
step,
which
would
be
either
council
discussion,
further
discussion
or
further
analysis
by
the
staff
or
to
not
just
support
devotion
so
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
mentioned
that.
So
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
time
for
discussion
here.
So
we
can
stay
on
track.
F
F
F
The
purpose
of
this
first
initiative
is
to
lay
out
a
plan
for
updating
the
city's
ada
accessibility
transition
plan,
which
has
been
in
draft
status
since
2015,
and
while
city
staff
have
already
begun
working
on
and
soliciting
stakeholder
input
on
this,
the
fact
that
it
has
been
in
limbo
for
so
long
underscores
the
need
for
a
deadline
not
only
to
hold
ourselves
accountable,
but
even
more
so
to
reinforce
that
we
as
a
city
are
taking
seriously,
are
com
making
our
community
as
open
as
possible
for
all
of
our
community
members,
and
so
I
would
move
that
we
we
put
this
forward
proposal
number
one
that
we
put
this
forward
on
a
future
agenda.
A
Okay,
so
motion
by
council
member
ward.
Is
there
a
second
okay,
second
by
council
member
money,
because
I
can
see
you
so
my.
G
B
Yeah,
if
I
could
so.
B
Yeah,
so
it's
actually
kind
of
the
way
that
the
code
reads.
Is
that
well
know
that
you
actually
can
make
a
motion
and
then
do
one
of
the
three
items
that
you've
laid
it
out
previously
with
mayor
renner,
we
went
around
the
room
and
it
it
took
a
little
bit
longer.
So
I
think
the
intent
for
our
mayor,
milo
wamboy,
was
to
kind
of
clean
up
the
process,
but
I'll
leave
that
to
you
guys.
A
Not
really,
we've
never
really
had
much
discussion
just
kind
of
going
around
the
room
and
because,
when
we
get
to
council,
if
we
go
forward,
then
we'll
have
more
discussion
at
that
point.
It's
just
indicating
your
interest
to
have
it
on
the
council
agenda
future
council
agenda.
A
B
B
Okay,
councilmember
matthew.
G
H
H
B
Councilmember
crumpler,
yes,
and
if
I
could
really
quickly-
and
I
probably
should
have
clarified
this
earlier-
so
really
we're
not
voting
on
a
deadline-
we're
just
voting
to
put
it
on
a
future
council
agenda
for
you
all
to
discuss
that
further.
So
I
do
want
to
clarify
in
case
there's
something
else
that
you,
if
you
wanted
to
change
your
vote,
we're
not
imposing
any
new
rule
right
now,
you're
just
putting
it
on
a
future
agenda.
A
Thank
you
awesome,
so
we'll
have
it
on
the
future
agenda.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
next
item
is
item.
7
double
I.
I
guess
discussion
regarding
a
council
initiative
submitted
by
council
member
ward
to
direct
city
staff
to
research
and
develop
a
rust
fund
resolution
as
directed
and
as
requested
by
her
and
same
thing,
so
either
motion
to
place
it
on
the
future
council
agenda
for
further
discussion.
A
Otherwise,
we're
in
trouble,
okay,
all
right,
so
yeah.
So,
let's,
why
don't
you
counsel
my
reward?
Sorry,
you
have
the.
F
This
second
initiative
is
aimed
at
increasing
interest
in
the
use
of
rest
fund
grants
for
accessibility
improvements,
as
approved
by
the
city
some
time
ago,
as
reported
at
a
recent
council
member
there's
been
very
little
use
of
the
rest
funds
for
some
time,
even
before
the
pandemic
and
even
less
use
for
accessibility,
and
this
initiative
would
hopefully
generate
more
applications.
So
again,
I'd
like
to
move
that
this
be
put
on
a
future
council
agenda.

Thank

member
ward.
So
next
on
the
agenda
is
our
city
manager's
report.
D
Thank
you
very
much
downtown
farmers
market.
It's
exciting
to
have
it
downtown
and
open
to
the
public.
Again,
it's
every
saturday,
7
30
a.m,
to
12
p.m,
next
slide
and
first
friday,
cogs
and
corsets
june
4th.
So
we've
got
a
few
weeks,
but
we'll
be
announcing
this.
You
know
every
council
meeting.
So
definitely
one
that's
well
attended
and
hoping
that
the
weather
is
good
for
this
evening
event,
then.
D
Additionally,
I
just
want
to
share
our
appreciation
staff,
for
so
many
of
our
elected
officials
in
the
community,
the
chamber
of
commerce
that
showed
up
for.
D
For
the
hub
today
and
it's
exciting,
this
is
something
again,
and
I
know
that
we've
talked
about
this
in
the
past.
It's
reported
very
well
in
the
media
today,
but
this
is
something
that
we're
providing
the
residents
of
the
community,
this
council
directive
to
be
more
forward-facing
and
customer-friendly.
D
The
hub
is
representative
represented
by
many
of
the
different
departments,
and
it
was
made
you
know
to
happen
by
city
clerk,
leslie
yoakam,
many
of
the
city
departments
helped
it
facilities
and
it's
exciting.
So
please
check
us
out
at
115
east
washington,
and
that
is
the
old
parks
area
that
would
be
at
the
north
east
end
of
the
street
closest
to
the
old
state
farm
building.
D
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
cd
manager
gleason,
and
it
was
indeed
great
to
have
so
many
council
members
being
present.
I
mean
I
I
don't
remember,
having
seen
so
many
of
us
together
in
one
place
in
the
past,
particularly
for
ribbon
cutting.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
coming
at
this
point.
I
do
believe
that
we
do
not
have
an
executive
session
and
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
okay
council
member
goal
and
second
okay,
councilmember
becker,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
