E
C
F
H
E
I
F
F
J
C
B
Thank
you
all
again
to
quote
our
city
councilman.
Mr.
sage.
One
point
he
had
said
these
are
the
people
who
go
running
into
our
homes
as
we're
running
out,
and
so
they
certainly
deserve
our
eternal
gratitude
and
respect.
So
I'm
quoted
that
pretty
close,
didn't
I
I,
don't
want
to
make
sure
I
did
it
with
that
with
and
sometimes
knock
things
down,
but
what
the
heck?
Okay.
J
B
B
B
And
next
we
have
proclamation
of
National,
Library,
Week
and
I.
Believe
we
have
our
distinguished
director
of
library
and
library
board
chair
here
to
jointly
come
forward.
Come
on
down
the
price
night
might
not
be
right,
but
at
least
I've
got
a
proclamation
for
you,
okay,
so
Proclamation
and
this
one's
long
got
a
lot
of
we're
asses.
But
it's
National,
Library
Week
April
7th
through
the
9th
through
the
13th,
so
April
7th
started
yesterday.
B
You
wouldn't
have
had
this
20-some
years
ago
right
and
whereas
library,
National,
Library
Week,
will
be
observed.
Sunday
April
7th,
through
Saturday
April,
13th
2019,
with
the
theme,
libraries,
equal,
strong
communities
and
now,
therefore
I
tear
under
mayor
of
the
city
bellowing
do
hereby
proclaim
April
7th
through
the
13th
2019,
as
National
Library
Week
in
Bloomington
and
I
encourage
all
residents
to
visit
the
Bloomington
Public
Library
and
to
take
advantage
of
the
wonderful
library
resources
that
are
available
there
and
I.
Thank
you
both
for
your
service
and
all
that
you've
done
and
congratulations.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
at
this
point,
we
move
toward
public
comment
and
just
to
clarify.
If
you
are
interested
in
dialogue
or
getting
quick
answers,
you
can
always
come
to
the
mayor's
open
house,
which
is
Friday
before
a
regular
City
Council
meeting
from
4:30
to
5:30
on
Friday
evenings
before
the
regular
Monday
council
meeting,
and
then
we
can
engage
in
dialogue.
You
can
ask
questions
about
something:
that's
on
the
agenda
or
not
on
the
agenda.
It's
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
your
elected
officials.
B
We
had
some
recently
candidates
as
well
as
elected
alderman,
who
have
shown
up
to
our
recent
meetings
as
well
as
sometimes
a
city
manager,
others
to
answer
questions.
So
that's
where
you
get
questions
answered.
If
you
want
to
basically
let
your
opinions
be
known,
that's
what
public
comments
about
so
you
have
up.
Each
person
has
up
to
three
minutes
in
public
comment
and
we
have
three
people
who
have
filled
out
cards
and
I'm,
going
to
read
them
in
the
order
in
which
they
were
passed
to
me:
Scott's,
timely,
Donna,
Bolin
and
Dale.
Now
singer.
B
F
F
Why
are
the
streets
just
going
to
they're
crumbling
under
our
eyes
right
out
in
front
of
my
house?
I've,
probably
picked
up,
I'd,
say
five
or
six
pieces
of
Street.
It
was
just
there
in
the
way,
and
you
know
when
these
big
rains
come.
It
is
really
I've
told
the
city
that
they
need
to
put
another
four
inch
drain
beside
that,
because
that
four
inch
drain
cannot
handle
all
that
water
tere
and
you
know,
I've
seen
people
that
cars
try
to
get
through
there
and
they
turn
around
because
the
roads
flooded.
F
F
You
know
I,
think
that
the
people
of
this
city
have
had
plenty
of
patience
and
I.
Don't
think
I
think
the
city
is
really
taking
the
money
and
blowing
it
and
they're
not
so
they
raise
the
double
the
motor
fuel
tax.
So
it's
gonna
happen
with.
If
normal
doesn't
do
it,
they're
gonna
go
to
normal.
If
normal
does
it,
they
may
go
outside
McLean,
County
or
outside
bloomington-normal,
say
they're,
going
within
a
very
short
distance
of
another
city
that
doesn't
have
that
and
they're
gonna
go
there.
Terry
and
you're
gonna
lose
everything.
F
You're
gonna
lose
the
19
cents.
The
state
has
you're,
gonna
lose
the
I
believe
35
cents.
The
federal
has
you're
going
to
lose
the
eight
cents
the
city
has
and
you're
still
you
still
be
out
of
money.
You'll
never
be
satisfied.
You
can
tax
as
high
as
you
want
to
tax
and
you'll
never
be
satisfied
Terry.
Maybe
you
should
change
the
sign
to
read.
Welcome
to
Bloomington
home
of
the
potholes.
F
K
K
They
can
be
used
for
matching
grants
which
I
don't
particularly
mind,
can
be
used
for
retirement
of
debt.
It
can
be
used
for
local,
mass
transit,
payment
of
principal
and
interest
for
Road
bonds,
and,
although
it's
the
statute
doesn't
specifically
say
this,
it
can
be
used
for
salt
storage
facilities,
wages
and
salaries,
holidays,
vacation
and
sick
leave,
workers,
compensation,
insurance
premiums,
retirement
funds,
social
security
fund,
health,
hospitalization
life
insurance,
tree
trimming
and
removal.
K
So-
and
this
is
found
on
the
Illinois
State
website
for
the
use
of
motor
fuel
tax
and
that's
just
part
of
the
list,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
motor
fuel
tax
is
used
for
street
and
sidewalk
repair.
We
have
a
history
of
diverting
the
funds
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
they're
used
as
promised.
Thank.
I
Hello,
everybody
I
came
two
weeks
ago
to
talk
about
taxes
and
things.
I
was
frustrated,
got
here
at
four
minutes
until
the
hour
I
found
there's
a
new
five
minute
rule
and
citizens
put
a
lot
of
effort.
If
they
get
here
to
try
and
do
this
and
I
know
you
need
rules,
but
I
ask
to
speak.
No.
We
can't
do
that.
We
can't
make
exceptions.
I
was
here
a
couple
years
ago,
when
the
meeting
didn't
start
on
time.
It
was
held
until
somebody
came
in
and
presented
a
slip
and
I
was
really
angry.
I
When
I
was
a
kid,
I've
lived
in
gloom
through
my
entire
life,
everything
was
paid
for
and
it
seems
like
every
time
we
turn
around.
We
fought
for
years
over
garbage
tax
and
now
we're
paying
this
big
tax.
We're
cutting
the
services
it
used
to
be
included.
The
street
repair
used
to
be
included.
Oh
now
we
have
a
motor
fuel
tax.
Four
years
ago.
I
was
here
mr.
black
said
I,
don't
think
people
mind
paying
a
few
cents
more
and
where'd
that
money
go
and
their
person
said
we
voted
for
more
services
in
California,
I.
I
Think
people
want
it.
I
have
a
friend
from
Russia
and
she
says
she
pays
12
percent
income
tax.
Nothing
else.
Hardly
she
says
what
do
you
do
with
all
the
money
over
here?
There's
taxes
and
fees
for
everything,
I
have
a
budget
when
I
run
out
I'm
done,
that's
it,
but
government
everywhere
you
go,
they
grab
more
and
more.
All
of
you
have
budgets.
Everybody
out
here.
Has
a
budget
and
everything
most
things
in
government
are
percentages.
When
costs
go
up,
taxes
go
up,
but
we
don't
do
that.
I
We
keep
grabbing
more
and
more
and
more.
You
want
to
double
the
city
gas
tax.
The
state
wants
to
double
it.
The
federal
government
wants
to
raise
it.
When
are
we
going
to
stop
when
we're
just
completely
out
of
money,
we're
taking
more
money
from
businesses?
Oh
the
evil,
businesses.
Every
time
you
tax
a
business,
they
tax
their
customers.
So
you're
taxing
the
citizens
there.
Every
time
you
put
a
new
tax
in
you,
gotta
find
a
way
to
stop
this.
I
Everybody
else
does
or
they
get
in
trouble,
but
government
just
takes
more
and
more
and
more
you
say
the
new
tax
oil
used
for
infrastructure
and
certain
things.
Well,
let's
say
we
build
the
new
soccer
field,
which
I
hope
we
don't
ever
talk
about
that
again.
Technically,
that
would
be
infrastructure.
Wouldn't
it.
Why
are
sidewalks
part
of
the
taxes
part
of
this
streets,
gas
taxes?
Cars
should
be
streets.
We
can
have
to
address
this
I've,
never
seen
such
a
mess,
our
roads,
it's
just
terrible,
I
go
elsewhere,
and
it's
not
like
this.
I
We
have
to
address
it.
We
have
to
stop
raising
taxes,
I,
don't
care
what
you
cut
I
have
to
everybody
here
has
to,
and
you
guys
got
to
stop
it
pensions.
If
we
don't
fix
pensions,
we
might
also
close
the
door
and
turn
off
the
lights.
You
say
you
can't
fix
it.
Well,
then,
what
are
we
going
to
do?
We
have
to
stop
these
things.
We
have
to
find
a
way
to
address
it
and
make
it
work
before
we're
all
done,
because
I
think
it's
just
terrible.
I
B
M
B
By
all
the
woman
painter
is
there
a
second
second
by
all
the
woman
Helmut
any
further
discussion
and
we
can
even
go
ahead
and
start
voting.
Thank
you
all
right.
The
motion
carries
9
to
0.
There
are
no
names
to
announce.
Madam
clerk.
We
will
move
right
along
to
and
I
think
I
know
the
reason
why
just
call
me
crazy
will
let
you
know
when
we
vote
on
this
and
how
close
it
was.
B
So
all
the
woman
Hammond
was
recusing
herself
because
item
7c
is
an
appointment
to
the
Regional
Planning
Commission
of
all
the
fun.
Well,
at
that
point
she
will
be
all
former
all
the
woman
Hammond
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
so
moved,
moved
by
alderman
black?
Is
there
a
second
second
second
by
all
the
woman
Bray
any
further
discussion
seeing
on
if
everyone
will
go
ahead
and
vote.
B
B
N
You
mayor
and
I
just
like
to
pause
a
moment
as
I
see.
This
item
is
in
relation
to
our
public
safety
and
Community
Relations
Board,
and
just
wanted
to
pause
a
moment
and
thank
those
folks
that
serve
on
that
board
and
also
ask
a
question.
I'm
just
wondering.
The
proposal
here
is
to
denote
a
liaison
to
the
City
Council
and
just
wanted
to
check
in
and
see.
Are
there
any
pain
points
there
in
relation
to
that,
or
was
this
just
considered
to
be
a
cleanup
item
or
kind
of
an
enhancement?
P
Q
N
B
You
all
the
woman
Bray
is
there
a
second
to
that?
Second,
by
all
the
woman
painter
any
further
discussion
on
this
item,
seeing
none
everyone
go
ahead
and
vote
motion
carries
9
to
0.
There
are
no
names
to
announce,
madam
clerk.
We
move
right
along
then
to
our
regular
agenda
and
our
first
regular
agenda
item
is,
of
course,
adoption
of
the
fiscal
year
2020
budget
appropriation,
its
ordinance
and
I'm,
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
our
city
manager
and
our
finance
director
and
then
a
City
Council
discussion,
Thank.
P
This
process,
the
FY
2010
ternal
process,
enjoyed
the
interaction
with
the
elected
officials,
hoping
the
community
sees
the
transparency
in
the
repeated
messaging,
and
you
know
arguably
the
most
important
thing
that
we
do
as
an
elected
body
and
as
staff
we're
at
the
final
point,
where
we're
at
the
finish
line.
If
you
will
Scott's
going
to
walk
us
through
much
of
the
information
we've
already
seen,
but
there
is
a
couple
of
changes
regarding
the
approval
of
the
additional
four
cents
on
the
local
motor
fuel
tax.
P
H
As
Tim
mentioned,
this
presentation
is
going
to
be
pretty
much
exact,
mirror
image
of
the
proposed
presentation,
we're
going
to
spend
a
lot
of
time,
not
a
lot
of
time,
but
I'm
going
to
spend
some
time
talking
about
the
Delta
between
the
proposed
and
the
adopted
where
those
increases
came
from,
but
we're
going
to
start
with
the
highlights,
as
we
do
last
few
times,
city
wide
to
27.5,
that's
a
sizable
increase
over
the
prior
year.
Seventeen
point
four
million
like
to
direct
your
attention
down
to
the
capital
projects.
H
You
can
see
that
13
1/2
of
that
is
related
to
capital
projects.
There's
the
local
motor
fuel
tax.
It
has
an
added
transfer,
grossing
up
of
the
budget
that
accounts
for
the
difference
there.
I
wanted
to
comment
that
motor
fuel
tax
is
is
a
fund,
the
state
motor
fuel
tax
dollars.
We
accumulate
those
balances
year
to
year.
Those
those
dollars
are
used
for
large
projects,
the
local
motor
fuel
tax,
those
are
the
dollars.
H
You
know
we
target
to
spend
every
year
motor
fuel
tax
fund,
14
million
dollars
in
capital
projects
targeted
for
the
coming
year,
so
those
balances
have
been
accumulating
over
time.
We
get
about
1.8
million
dollars
from
state
motor
fuel
tax.
We
apply
for
grants
and
things
of
that
nature.
The
water
fund
same
story
accumulating
funds
over
time.
H
Ten
point:
five
million
dollars
in
water
related
projects
for
the
coming
year,
I'd
like
to
direct
your
attention
to
the
general
fund
fund
balance,
even
with
the
approval
of
the
$600,000
for
the
Miller
Park
concession
stand,
we're
still
projecting
a
twenty
million
dollar
ending
fund
balance
for
2020,
so
that
that's
a
very
respectable
fund
balance.
So
happy
with
that.
H
H
The
utility
building
department
in
I've
commented
on
that
we
had
the
local
motor
fuel
tax
increase,
all
the
large
motor
or
all
the
large
taxes
are
deposited
into
the
general
fund
and
then
they're
transferred
to
the
Capital
Improvement
Fund
for
local
motor
fuel
tax
and
the
quarter
point
on
sales
tax.
We
start
we
on
tonight's
agenda.
We
have
a
new
fund
dedicated
solely
to
asphalt
and
concrete.
H
We
have
the
$125,000
video-gaming
fee
fee
increase
transfer
to
the
Capital
Improvement
Fund
placeholder
for
public
safety,
building
projects,
Capital
Improvement
Fund
a
and
C.
So
we
have
the
revenues
come
in
to
the
general
fund,
then
they're
transferred
over
to
the
asphalt
and
concrete
funds.
So,
in
a
way
from
an
accounting
standpoint,
it's
almost
like
a
duplication
of
the
revenue.
So
that's
why
we
have
a
4.6
million
dollar
effect
on
the
citywide
budget,
just
related
to
the
local
motor
fuel
tax
increase.
H
So
of
the
five
point,
nine
four
point:
six
related
to
the
local
motor
fuel
tax
increase,
$250,000
related
to
the
gaming
increase,
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
before
we
had,
we
had
a
project
for
the
police
roof
repair.
Just
it
was
budgeted
for
2019
not
going
to
happen
so
we're
rolling
that
to
2020
funds
were
already
set
aside
in
2019,
no
additional
funds
needed,
but
it's
going
to
grow
sup
the
2020
budget
grant.
Some
grants
were
added
by
Jennifer
that
we're
not
included
in
the
proposed
3r
78,000
and
then
the
water
fund.
H
You
can
see
that
it's
four
hundred
eighty
five
thousand
well
that's
primary
related
to
the
utility
building
department.
There's
a
big
component
that
went
to
the
general
fund:
it's
not
only
personnel,
but
it's
all
the
printing
costs.
All
the
bank
fees
credit
card
fees.
All
those
kinds
of
things
came
out
of
water
went
to
the
the
general
fund.
It's
not
a
one
for
one
right
there,
because
some
of
that
expense.
H
H
Just
direct
your
attention:
this
is
the
major
tax
revenue
summary
from
before
local
motor
fuel
tax
obviously
went
from
two
point:
three
to
four
point:
six:
a
sizeable
increase
there,
and
then
we
were
reviewing
trends,
the
budget
manager
and
myself.
So
looking
at
the
state
sales
tax,
it
looked
like
the
trend
for
this
year
and
taking
that
in
the
next
year,
was
coming
on
under
a
little
bit.
H
General
funds
just
just
to
highlight
that
the
significant
changes
from
proposed,
obviously
the
taxes,
the
tax
line,
went
up
by
2.3
million
local
motor
fuel
tax
licenses,
went
up,
125
thousand
the
video
gaming
terminal
fee
and
then
the
transfers
in
on
the
bottom
line
there
you
can
see
it
says
for
utility
billion.
So
that
is
the
charges
from
the
enterprise
fund.
Transferring
in
to
the
general
fund.
H
Expenses
salaries,
they
went
up
related
to
that
utility
billion
coming
into
the
general
fund,
contractuals
and
commodities.
They
went
up
significantly
related
to
the
building
department
coming
into
the
general
fund.
Contractuals
went
up
by
four
hundred
thousand
commodities
that
went
up
by
a
hundred
thousand
supplies.
H
H
Then
the
flip
side
of
the
transfer
is
in
transfers
out
general
fund.
I
know
you
guys
are
like
rinse
repeat
right:
tax
dollars
come
into
the
general
fund,
they
transfer
out.
So
that's
going
to
gross
up
our
transfer
out
activity
and
then
that's
transferred
into
the
capital
improvement,
asphalt
and
concrete
funds.
So
a
little
bit
of
the
behind
the
scenes.
Accounting
lesson
here:
apologies
for
that
capital
projects,
because
it's
just
going
to
highlight
the
changes
real
briefly
here.
H
You
can
see
that
we
put
a
placeholder
in
second
line
$125,000
for
video
gaming
terminal
funded
projects-
capital.
Let
me
don't
want
to
skip
the
facilities,
police,
roof,
repair,
$400,000
edition
for
2020,
just
rolled
from
2019,
and
then
Capital
Improvement
asphalt
and
concrete
fund
of
the
two
point:
three
additional
that's
coming
in
this
year.
Tim
did
you
want
to
speak
to
this
to
eight
hundred
thousand.
P
Yeah,
real
quick
on
the
passage
of
the
additional
four
cents
on
the
local
motor
fuel
tax,
how's
that
going
to
look
in
terms
of
projects
for
construction
season
2019
this
one
that's
approaching
so
that
tax
goes
into
effect
on
May.
First,
we
average
about
a
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
collection
of
the
entire
four
cents
per
month,
and
rather
than
doing
an
additional
2.3
million
dollars
worth
of
work,
this
construction
season,
we
won't
have
the
funds
collected.
P
Yet
this
construction
season
is
then,
as
we
roll
into
construction
season
20,
we
will
use
the
full
2.3
million
dollars
on
top
of
the
original
four
cents
and
the
quarter
percent
on
the
home
roll
sales
tax
just
wanted
to
give
a
quick
update
on
on
how
that
is
actually
being
spent
this
year.
I
know
that
there's
some
eagerness
to
use
some
of
that
money
this
year
and
we
think
that
we
have
an
opportunity
with
a
later
in
the
construction
season
letting
of
projects
again.
B
P
B
H
Okay,
no,
no
changes,
material
changes
to
the
rest
of
the
projects.
I
would
this
is
very
difficult
to
see,
but
in
a
way
this
is
you
know
this
is
the
the
total
of
the
budget.
You're
adopting
I
mean
this
shows
the
total
budgets
for
each
of
our
29
funds,
believe
it
or
not.
We
have
29
funds
now
general
fund
at
the
top.
You
know
that's
one
hundred
nine
million.
H
If
you
look
all
the
way
down
at
the
bottom
of
the
kind
of
highlighted
columns,
you
can
see
the
227
542
you
that's
the
total
revenue
expense
budgets
budget
for
citywide.
These
are
all
our
different
funds.
If
you
see
some
some
Reds,
you
know.
Typically,
those
are
related
to
funds
where
we
do
advance
funding
like
in
Tiff's.
You
know
where
we
put
expenditures
in
before
the
money
comes
in
or
the
dollars
start
flowing
in
related
to
property
taxes
we
may
have
some
negative
fund.
Balance
is
the
same
as
true
related
to
the
grants.
H
I
didn't
want
to
just
highlight.
If
you
look
at
capital
projects
that
section
there
there's
a
new
fund
capital
improvement,
asphalt
and
concrete,
you
can
see
it.
It's
blank.
You
know
there
was
no
ending
fund
balance
for
2018,
but
what
I
would
really
wanted
to
highlight
was
our
ending
fund.
Balance
for
2020
is
1.6
million.
So
that's
that's
the
1.5
that's
kind
of
going
unspent
because
we're
gonna
we're
targeting
$800,000
to
spend
during
this
construction
season
over
the
next
few
months.
The
rest
will
accumulate
into
fund
balance
dedicated.
H
You
know
strictly
for
streets
and
sidewalks
and
will
remain
transparent
in
that
fund
to
be
utilized
in
2020.
Along
with
you
know,
the
funds
that
will
come
in
that
year
or
2021
I
guess
2020
construction
season
for
2021
budget.
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
and
then
just
you
know,
kind
of
a
recap
summary
of
highlights
past
the
local
motor
fuel
tax.
There's
a
800,000
we
were
just
speaking
of
creation
of
the
cap
will
improve
it
as
long
concrete
fund.
That's
Olivia
voted
on
so
video
gaming
terminal.
H
1.9
million
cash
for
equipment
recall
the
focus
of
try
to
trend
away
from
using
the
capital
equipment
least
to
save
the
city.
The
interest
expense
interest
rates
are
rising,
just
really
kind
of
want
to
start
weaning
ourselves
off
that
funding
source,
the
internalization
of
the
economic
development
dollars,
a
creation
of
the
Economic
Development
Department,
and
then
the
water
re
or
got
I
want
to
lose
sight
of
that
at
250
thousand,
roughly
savings
from
the
public
water,
Public,
Works,
reorganization,
and
that
concludes
my
presentation.
H
B
R
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
Scott,
just
a
couple
of
thoughts
here
right
out.
The
gate,
I
I
appreciate
this
budget
cycle
and
the
way
that
it's
worked
out,
I've
seen
a
number
of
iterations
of
this
over
the
years
and
and
thinking
about
the
high
level
projects.
It's
very
helpful
in
the
high
level
budget
units
also
assists
me
as
well
in
making
decisions
about
how
we
fund
some
of
our
projects
we're
out
the
top
of
my
head
here.
R
We
say
this
every
year,
but
I'm
hoping
this
will
be
of
you
actually
do
it
is
that
we're
coming
out
of
a
budget
cycle
and
there's
a
lot
of
fresh
thoughts
that
we
have
for
next
year
and
I'm
thinking
that
in
the
next
few
months
we
start
to
seriously
talk
about
a
couple
of
things
number
one.
A
conversation
that
came
up
recently
was
about
what
the
city's
bond
rating
should
be.
Do
we
want
to
look
at
a
triple-a
bond
rating?
R
What
would
that
entail
for
me
specifically
I'm
interested
in
seeing
what
a
reserve
policy
would
look
like
if
we
use
those
reserves
as
a
down
payment
towards
a
capital
project
as
an
influx?
In
cash
and
Street
sewers
and
sidewalks,
whatever
that
might
be,
but
I
need
to
have
a
better
understanding
with
the
policy.
The
implications
of
that
policy
might
be
number
two
is
I
know
that
we
have
a
lot
of
feedback,
often
about
the
way
the
budget
process
works
and
and
I
think
what
I've
seen
us
move
towards
over
the
last
few
years.
R
R
R
Think
some
of
the
frustration
that
I
hear
from
the
public
is
that
they
feel
disconnected
to
the
selection
process
of
those
projects,
and-
and
you
know,
if
we
look
at
a
couple
different
ones-
and
we
make
a
decision,
then
we're
standing
by
that
and
so
I
don't
know
how
much
work
that
be
on
Jim
and
his
staff
to
put
together,
but
even
just
a
high-level
ballpark
of
a
handful
of
projects.
I
think
would
be
interesting
to
see
and
we
can
put
that
to
a
vote
and.
B
Related
to
that,
we
also
have
the
transportation,
Advisory,
Committee
and
I
believe
all
the
woman
she
met
talked
about
that
reinvigorating.
That
group
that
could
that
already
exist.
Yes,
was
the
direct
citizen
input,
as
well
as
council
input
on
what
roads
and
what
in
the
timetable,
etc.
Yeah
need
to
be
to
be
fixed.
The.
S
You
of
thanks
cotton
thanks,
Tim
and
I've
talked
to
you
about
this
before,
but
just
before
we
come
back
to
is
building
off
of
budget
stuff
for
next
year
is
I
would
like
to
see
a
fully
flesh.
You
know
conversation
about
the
how
we're
going
to
address
the
pensions
you
know.
I
know.
I've
talked
to
you
about
that.
The
last
presentation
that
I
could
find
that
council
had
about
this
I
think
was
from
2015
and
I
would
just
like
to
know.
S
B
B
T
I
mean
that's
it's
incumbent
on
us
to
do
that,
and,
and
so
so,
while
I
will
will
vote
for
the
budget
here
in
a
minute
again,
it's
not
a
budget
that
I
would
have
preferred,
but
we
had.
We
had
staff
presentations.
We
had
council
conversations
and
we
voted
that's
the
way
it
should
work
so
so
again,
thanks,
gentlemen,
and
to
your
to
your
teams
because
of
the
process
that
work
well.
T
L
You
and
same
here
I'd
like
to
you
know,
thank
you
guys
for
the
great
work
that
you've
done.
I
think
it
this
year
it
felt
less
painful
than
others.
So
it's
been
very,
very
good
to
go
through
that
process.
One
of
the
things
that
I
wanted
to
mention
and
I,
don't
know
how
we
get
around
that,
but
I
I
did
sense.
You
know
where
there
are
some
points
of
pain
was
in
trying
to
kind
of
recollect
you
know
about.
L
You
know
some
of
the
events
that
happen
and
why
money
was
spent
one
way
or
another,
so
I
think.
To
that
extent-
and
you
know
I,
don't
know
if
we
need
to
have
a
budget
historian
or
something
like
that,
but
I
you
know
I
and
I'm,
especially
thinking
about
this
because
we're
you
know
we're
at
a
point
where
we're
gonna
have
some
changeover
in
the
council
20
years
or
30
years
from
now.
You
know,
none
of
us
will
be
here
and
and
and
people
will
be
asking
themselves.
You
know
the
same
question.
L
You
know
why
you
know.
Why
did
we
make
the
decision
that
we
made?
You
know
10
15
years
ago,
so
I
think
that's
something
that
we
should
definitely
explore
and
try
to
overcome
and
and
the
same
as
you
know,
all
the
men
sage
said
you
know:
I
I
did
vote
against
the
local
motor
fuel
tax,
but
we're
at
a
point
now
that
we
we
have
to
to
pass
the
budget
now
and
I'll
be
voting
for
the
budget
and
in
in
a
way
it's
also
a
a
vote
of
confidence.
L
B
You
again
and
thank
you
for
bringing
up
that
point
again.
Budgets
are
often
not
something
that
any
individual
would
want
or
what
put
together
on
their
own,
but
do
come
together
through
a
a
budget
process
where
we
have
collective
input
by
nine
members,
City
Council,
the
mayor
plus,
obviously
the
proposals
that
step
it
forward.
Any
other
comments,
questions.
Okay.
If
we
will
vote,
we
do
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
on
the
budget
as
presented.
B
The
budget
passes
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce
madam
clerk
and
thank
you
again,
Scott
for
all
your
work.
Thank
you,
mr.
Gleason.
Thank
you
for
the
rest
of
staff
for
all
your
work
on
this.
We
move
next
to
the
ratification
of
a
contract
with
IATSE
local
193,
that's
recommended
by
the
human
resources
and
Parks
and
Recreation
and
cultural
arts
department
and
I'm,
going
to
turn
this
over
to
mr.
Gleason
Thank.
P
You,
mayor
and
council,
this
is
a
continuation
of
the
practice.
This
will
be
the
second
time
we've
brought
a
labor
contract
in
front
of
Council.
Let
me
say
that
again,
they
always
come
in
front
of
Council,
but
they
typically
come
on
the
consent
agenda.
We've
carved
those
out
we're
going
to
have
those
on
the
regular
agenda
going
forward
and
just
a
quick
walk
through
where
we
see
this
negotiation
as
a
win-win.
I
ahte
see
our
stage
hands
that
we
have
at
the
BC
PA
they're,
all
part-time
employees.
P
They
do
not
receive
like
sick
leave,
buyback
benefits.
That
counsel
has
been
very
clear.
You
know
in
negotiations
to
address
those
by
ordinance
last
fall,
but
this
contract
is
a
three
year.
Contract
was
settled
in
one
session
and,
if
approved
well,
it's
been
ratified,
but
if
approved
by
council
may
1st
of
this
year,
a
2
percent
pay
raise
goes
into
effect.
P
U
B
By
all
the
woman
Schmidt,
is
there
a
second
a
couple
seconds
there?
Second,
by
alderwoman
Hellman
any
further
discussion,
we'll
go
ahead
and
vote
on
this
contract.
The
motion
carries
nine
to
zero.
There
are
no
names
to
announce
madam
clerk,
and
we
move
right
along
to
item
8c
consideration
of
an
ordinance
establishing
a
separate
fund
within
the
city
budget
to
track
revenues
and
expenditures.
B
Excuse
me,
expenses
named
as
expenditures
of
course,
related
to
the
maintenance
and
repair
of
city
streets
and
sidewalks
titled,
the
capital,
improvement,
asphalt
and
concrete
fund,
and
it
says,
as
requested
by
the
Finance
and
Administration
departments
and
the
recommendation
staff,
since
this
ordinance
be
approving
I'm,
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
mr.
Gleason
Thank.
P
You
know
state
statute
and
what
this
is
is
at
the
direction
of
City
Council
and
actually
let
me
say
this
had
a
media
question
about
this
about
this
item
and
it
was
a
good
question,
but
is
this
being
put
in
place
to
add
additional
security
to
protect
the
asphalt
and
concrete
funds,
the
entire
now
eight
cents
and
the
quarter
percent
on
the
home
rule
sales
tax
and
the
answer
to
that
was
no.
It
was
always
protected
under
the
capital
improvements
line
item.
This
is
more
about
transparency.
P
This
is
an
opportunity
to
carve
out
separate
and
very
clearly
when
we're
talking
about
a
asphalt
and
concrete
projects
it
will,
if
passed,
will
now
include
the
entire
eight
cents,
the
quarter
percent
on
the
home
roll
sales
tax
and
can
easily
be
tracked
in
the
budget,
so
just
carving
it
out
no
extra
level
of
security.
It's
an
extra
level
of
transparency.
P
M
Okay,
so
I
just
I
have
to
hear
things
a
couple
times,
sometimes
so
the
the
four
cents
we
have
in
place,
the
four
cents
we
just
voted
on
two
weeks
ago
and
the
quarter
penny
sales
tax,
asphalt
and
concrete.
What
do
we?
Where
will
money
come
for
things
like
streetlights
and
other
items
that
as
soon-to-be
alderman
Bolin
mentioned
I
mean
I've
seen
that
list
it's
pretty
extensive
and
I
know
we
don't
pay
for
salaries
and
vacations
and
things
like
that
out
of
ours.
P
Those
are
part
of
the
larger
budget.
This
this
will
will
be
we've
estimated
five
million
dollars
now
two
point
three
and
the
original
four
cents.
Two
point
three,
additionally,
is
what
we're
projecting
and
then
about
an
equal
amount
out
of
the
quarter
percent
home
rule
sales.
Tax
truly
will
just
be
used
for
the
asphalt
and
concrete
projects.
The
other
needs
of
Public
Works
will
come
out
of
the
capital
improvement
fund
that
we
have
and
will
pay
for
some
of
those
additional
items.
P
That's
another
thing
in
it's:
it's
a
good
point
that
maybe
we
should
remind
again
at
the
direction
of
council,
we're
taking
an
extra
step
and
messaging
so
that
the
community,
anybody
in
the
community
can
track
the
revenues
in
on
the
local
motor
fuel
tax,
the
entire
eight
cents
and
then
also
the
quarter
percent
on
the
home
rural
sales
tax.
And
then
we
will
also
show
the
expenses
out
and
that's
not
just
going
to
be
on
our
website.
P
Q
M
Know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
questions
and
concerns
and
I
mean
I'm,
confident
that
we've
been
spending
it
as
it
should
be.
But
there's
again
there
are
a
number
of
other
items
that
that
that
tax
could
be
spent
on
and
I
just
want
to
make
make
sure
that
people
understand
what
we're
using
it
for
Thanks.
Okay,.
D
Potholes
specifically,
your
second
question:
filling
the
act
of
filling
potholes
comes
out
of
our
street
maintenance
budget,
which
is
general
fund.
This
fund,
the
LMF
t,
is
going
for
asphalt
and
concrete,
as
the
city
manager
and
the
council
has
put
forth
in
the
past,
so
that
goes
toward
resurfacing
our
streets,
the
concrete
it
goes
for
the
hard
asphalt
and
concrete,
so
it
will
help
potholes.
It
will
address
like,
as
the
potholes
are,
a
symptom
of
the
larger
problem
of
the
condition
of
our
streets.
I
will.
U
D
B
You
yeah
just
to
don't
go
too
far,
just
in
case
man,
it
just
just
to
clarify
the
if
I'm
summarizing
this
correctly
Jim,
so
the
the
asphalt
fund
that
that
is
for,
in
effect,
long
term
street
resurfacing
the
short
term
fixes
the
fixing
potholes
comes
out
of
a
different
fund,
okay,
but
we
are
moving
aggressively
on
both
okay
and
so
that
I
think,
is
what
all
the
woman
am.
I
misstating,
I
think
that's
what
you
were
after
I.
U
B
N
What,
whereas
particularly
calls
out
that
this
is
for
concrete,
concrete
and
asphalt.
So
this
as
made
mention,
there's
just
a
very
specific
population
that
we
voted
on
frankly,
to
say
that
we
would
collect
this
particular
gas
tax
and
do
this
kind
of
work.
So
it's
not
for
other
kinds
of
things:
it's
not
for
historic
preservations,
it's
not
for
the
lighting,
it's
just
that
that
money
will
have
to
come
from
somewhere
else.
This
is
just
focusing
on
our
main
thoroughfares
or
residential
areas
that
are
concrete
and
asphalt.
Would
that
be
correct.
J
N
T
Ask
a
question
before
the
motion:
it
goes
any
further.
What
would
adding
in
and
I'm
always
a
little
reluctant
to
kind
of
do
this
stuff
on
the
fly,
but
what
adding
the
concrete
and
asphalt
phrasing
to
the
staff
draft
alternate
with
that
accomplish
what
what
you
are
intending
to
try
and
do
with
your
alternate.
T
So
I
wanted
so
so
let
me
just
say
again
just
so
that
the
perhaps
I
haven't
has
spoken,
that
what
I'm
suggesting
is
that
we
take
that
wording.
Those
three
words
from
your
paragraph
4
of
your
alternate
and
add
them
to
the
second
paragraph.
If
you
will
love
the
staff
draft
alternate
and
in
front
of
where
it
says,
streets
and
sidewalks
and
read
there,
we
would
add
concrete
and
asphalt.
T
N
T
C
N
I
have
a
question
then,
if
we're
looking
at
staff
staff
draft
after
I've
said
it
ten
times,
staff
proposes
striking
the
third,
whereas
paragraph,
which
is
the
expenditure
paragraph
as
I.
Read
it,
whereas
these
ordinances
state,
there's
related
revenue,
sorry
to
use,
be
used
specifically
for
the
street
resurfacing
program
and
sidewalk
repairs,
and
so
I'm
I'm
unclear.
Why
that
limiting
paragraph
about
expenditure
was
struck
from
staff
draft
just.
V
Because
the,
whereas
ahead
of
that,
was
really
kind
of
reiterating
the
same
thing
with
these
revisions,
it
says
which
are
to
be
dedicated
to
the
maintenance
of
city
streets
and
sidewalks.
So,
and
we
can,
we
can
add
that
back
in
there,
but
I,
don't
think
it
would
be
accurate
in
that
struck,
whereas
clause
to
say
that
that
those
ordinances
limited
it
to
asphalt
and
concrete.
If
that
makes
sense,
yes,
thank
you.
So
if
there's
a
so.
T
So
so
then,
based
on
that
so
Kim,
then
maybe
a
follow-up
question
to
simply
taking
those
three
words
from
your
ultra
alternate
statement,
meaning
concrete
and
asphalt
and
moving
that
to
what
in
effect
has
become
the
third,
whereas
following
the
struck
paragraph
and
putting
it
in
there
where
Jeff
suggested.
So
it
would
read
to
increase
transparency
and
specifically
track
the
revenues
and
projects
associated
with
concrete
and
asphalt.
Street,
that,
with
the
concrete
and
asphalt
street
resurfacing
program.
Does
that
add
that
level
of
detail
or
or
perhaps
clarity
that
you're
looking
for.
N
N
N
B
Sounds
like
it
that
that's
at
least
one
of
the
suggestions,
but
let
me
go
ahead
and
at
this
point
before
we
go
forward,
one
of
the
options
is,
of
course,
to
take
this,
make
sure
that
the
language
is
okay
and
that
this
is
consistent
with
what
everybody
wants
before
we
move
forward,
but
I'm
going
to
turn
to
Amelia
and
yeah
I
know
you
I've
got
you
in
the
pipeline
here
too,
to
come
back
to
you.
Okay,
thank.
N
W
W
These
particular
sources
to
go
toward
that
goal,
so
that
we're
making
a
conscious
decision
and
we're
not
limiting
our
options
and
by
our
I
mean
future
councils
options
with
this
particular
ordinance.
Keeping
in
mind,
of
course,
that
ordinances
can
always
be
changed,
because
if
legal
counsel
has
pointed
out,
that
is
not
language
that
is
present
in
our
enacting
documents.
So
we
would
be
making
things
narrower
here,
then
we
are
necessarily
required
to
do
and
we
will
be
limiting
the
options
future
councils
will
have.
L
I
was
gonna,
make
a
motion
that
we
get
a
couple
aspirins
for
everybody,
I
and
I'm
gonna
walk
away
from
the
ordinance
stuff
because
it
gave
me
headaches,
but
I
I
wanted
to
know
because
I'm
more
of
a
process
person
so
I
want
to
know
how
Bloomington
komm
is
going
to
work
when
it's
going
to
start
when
we're
going
to
see
things
because,
as
all
the
women
submit
pointed
out,
I
think
this
is
something
that
we'll
have
to
deal
with.
You
know
it's.
How
are
we
going
to
manage
expectations?
L
You
know
people
will
still
see
potholes
and
they
will
start
asking
questions.
You
know
where
is
the
money
going
and
I
think
we've
we've
seen
emails
just
this
past
weekend,
you
know
about
I'm,
seeing
I'm
still
seeing
potholes,
you
know.
What's
gonna
happen,
what
are
you
guys?
Gonna
do
with
the
money
and
I
think
we've
heard
people
mention
the
same
thing
and
I
also
have
questions
about.
You
know
pavement
preservation,
you
know.
Where
is
that
where's
that
money
gonna
come
from?
Is
it
going
to
come
from
that
same
pot
of
money?
Is
there?
B
L
L
And
before
you
do
that,
I
also
one
thing
that
I
just
remembered,
we
talked
about
asphalt
and
concrete
and
I
think
all
the
woman
should
be
a
little
ooh
did
to
that
as
well.
You
know,
sometimes
those
are
technical
terms
for
the
average
person
and
people
don't
quite
get
that
you
know
what
is
what
is
concrete.
What
are
you
gonna
do
with
it?
I
think
that
Louisa
streets,
calm
should
have
that
explained
to
people
absolutely.
X
X
It's
really
a
communications
vehicle
for
folks
and
so
we'll
be
able
to
use
it
in
a
number
of
different
ways
and,
and
quite
frankly,
one
of
the
things
that'll
happen
is
that
it'll
evolve
into
what
this
community
wants
to
see
it
become,
and
so,
if
we
know
that
we're
getting
a
lot
of
questions
about
potholes,
we'll
know
they'll
be
able
to
share
a
lot
of
more
information
about
that
on
this
site.
I.
S
B
D
B
V
Just
living
into
some
of
the
listening
to
some
of
the
preliminary
comments
and
feedback,
one
option
might
be
to
utilize
the
Bray
draft
I'll
alternate
but
where
we
say
concrete
and
asphalt
in
that
forth,
whereas
to
add
and
other
material
in
there
to
address
any
other
type
of
resurfacing
or
bricks,
bricks
or
whatever
else
that
might
be
in
relation
to
a
street
or
related
repair.
So
and
again,
these
are
these
are
whereas
clauses
they're,
basically
just
kind
of
telling
the
story
of
why
we're
doing
this?
V
The
the
meat
and
soul
of
this
is,
you
know
the
fact
that
this
fun
will
be
created,
and
this
is
where
this
one
is
going
to
go
again
for,
as
the
city
manager
said,
transparency
purposes,
you
guys
all
control.
You
know
how
that
money
is
spent.
This
isn't
you
know
giving
a
blank
check
to
staff
to
go
out
and
you
know
start
spending
this
money.
This
is
just
that
extra
level
of
transparency
creating
that
fund
that
you
guys
can
all
look
at
review
and
continue
to
monitor
so
just
offer
that
up.
V
T
You
so
so
I'm
I
guess
if
a
majority
of
the
aldermen
are
comfortable
with
the
staff
draft
alternate
as
presented
I
mean
I
can
be
supportive
of
that,
because
I
believe
we've
had
intentional
conversations
about
that.
I
mean
I
it.
If
I
have
heard
the
phrase
once
I
think
I've
heard
it
a
dozen
times.
T
That's
where
it
begins
to
feel
a
little
bit
like
a
slippery
slope
and
I
know.
Staff
has
been
clear
that
that's
that's
not
what
they're
talking
about
that
staff
is
talking
about
streets,
concrete
and
asphalt
streets
and
and/or
sidewalks,
so
so
again
in
the
interest
of
of
trying
to
move
this
long
because,
again,
I
believe
we
we've
had
those
intentional
conversations
repeatedly
here
and
staff
hasn't
deviated
from
this
notion
that
it
would
be
concrete
and
asphalt
and
it
would
be
streets
and
sidewalks.
T
So
you
know
again
if
a
majority
of
the
aldermen
are
supportive
of
that,
I
mean
I
think
this
is
I,
think
this
helps
draw
at
least
I
believe
it
does
at
that
kind
of
hard
line
of
demarcation,
between
streets,
sidewalks
and
in
this
other,
more
cryptic,
mysterious
and
other
infrastructure
projects,
whatever
those
might
or
might
not
be
so
again,
you
know
I'll
be
interested
to
seeing
you
know
and
perhaps
helping
make
a
motion
to
to
adopt
the
staff
draft
alternate
and
appreciate
you
know:
staff
trying
to
work
work
through
this.
So
thank
you.
Okay,.
R
You
and
to
all
different
stages,
point
I,
think
I've
heard
concrete
and
asphalt
a
number
of
times.
Second,
only
to
citizens
convenience
center,
so
Public
Works
has
the
nomenclature
down
yeah
I,
just
I'm,
not
a
really
big
fan
of
these
sorts
of
things
and
I'm
gonna
vote
for
it,
and-
and
that
was
my
comment-
was
gonna-
be
that
we'll
just
revisit
this
in
a
year
and
see
if
it's
working
the
way
we
wanted
to
I,
don't
think
it's
ready
for
primetime
I
would
prefer
that
we
come
back
and
we
could
look
at.
R
Maybe
if
all
of
Umbria
has
some
concerns
that
she
can
produce.
You
know
some
some
language
that
we
can
vote
on
in
some
future.
One
motion
or
the
other
and
that
way
I
can
see
what
we're
talking
about
and
understand
the
implications
I'm
with
Emilia
that
we
got
a
concrete
and
asphalt.
It
captures
everything
I,
don't
think
we're
all
talking
about
the
same
thing,
but
you
know
we
can't
remember.
We
did
last
year,
how's
the
council
several
years
from
now
going
to
be
able
to
understand
that
they
may
interpret
that
differently.
R
Yeah
I'm
comfortable
protections
that
are
in
place
for
that
money.
I,
don't
buy
into
the
narrative
that
people
can't
figure
out
where
the
transportation
money
has
gone.
We've
been
crystal
clear
about
that
from
from
day
one.
You
know
I'm,
proud
of
how
we've
increased
spending
across
the
board
as
trees.
Servicing
I
know
that
there
are
folks
that
don't
like
potholes,
but
we
live
in
Illinois
it
freezes
and
thaws
it's
what
it
does
I
would
you
can
go
to
Arizona
where
there
are
no
potholes,
but
then
you've
got
to
play
the
game
of.
R
Will
there
be
water
and
I
don't
want
to
play
that
game,
so
no
sidewalks,
cactus,
scorpions
tarantulas.
It
sounds
awful
so
so
for
me,
I
just
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
we
delay
this
until
the
next
council
meeting
with
the
direction
to
staff
that
we
have
an
alternative
draft
presented.
Any
further
automatic
comments
or
questions
can
be
added
to
another
alternative
and
then
in
the
memo
to
specify
some
of
these
questions
that
we've
talked
about
tonight,
so
alderman
Alam
boy.
R
B
B
Okay,
then,
that's
accurate
if
you'll
restate
your
motion
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
if
it
gets
a
second
we'll
be
voting
on
that,
as
opposed
to
alderman
blacks
motion.
But
if
you'll
restate
yours
so.
N
I
made
a
motion
to
pass
the
Bray
draft
alternative.
This
was
presented
to
everyone,
including
staff
today
earlier
today,
following
some
comments
from
some
constituents
and
others.
It
takes
into
consideration
the
philosophy
that
we
developed,
while
passing
the
additional
four
cents
gas
tax,
which
was
that
we
wanted
this
money
to
pay
for
concrete
and
asphalt
work,
not
historic
preservation,
not
brick
streets
which
are
known
to
be
very
expensive
to
replace
with
brick.
If
we
would
want
to
overlay
break
with
concrete
and
asphalt,
this
fun
could
respond
to
that.
N
But
we
specifically
said
we
were
passing
this
gas
tax
to
pay
for
concrete
and
asphalt,
and
so,
if
this
council
or
council
in
the
future
wants
to
do
historic,
preservations
in
certain
historic
neighborhoods,
that's
that's
a
separate
initiative.
I!
Don't
see
that
as
part
of
the
gas
tax
that
we
passed
so
with
that
said,
the
limiting
language.
In
the
fourth
paragraph,
the
beret
draft
adds
in
concrete
and
asphalt
street
resurfacing
programs.
B
B
W
You
no
I
I
simply
would
would
disagree
with
some
of
the
assertions
that
are
being
made,
as
in
terms
of
motivations
for
different
individuals,
for
doing
certain
things
that
personal
motivations
are
being
attributed
to
the
group
as
a
whole,
which
I
disagree
with
and
I
won't
belabor
the
point
but
I
think
again.
We
have
streets
in
the
city
that
desperately
need
maintenance.
They
desperately
need
work
and
so
to
remove
them
from
a
funding.
Source.
W
I
think
is
saying
to
those
residents
that
we're
not
taking
your
needs
seriously,
because
your
knees
are
different
than
some
other
people's
needs
and
I
would
also
disagree
with
any
assertions
that
there's
not
potentially
cost
equity.
We've
looked
at
those
numbers.
They
tell
a
very
different
story
depending
on
how
you
look
at
them
and
again,
I.
W
Don't
think
we
need
to
get
into
the
details
here
this
evening,
but
I
think
it
would
be
unfortunate
to
unnecessarily
limit
our
options
moving
forward
when
there
is
great
need
in
the
community
and
so
I
don't
want
to
limit
our
ability
to
assess
those
needs
as
they
come
to
infrastructure
and
I.
Think
the
staff
has
done
a
good
job
of
pointing
out
that
this
does
not
require
us
to
pay
for
any
specific
type
of
project.
It
just
narrows
what
we
can
pay
for.
W
So
why
aren't
officially
narrow
it
at
this
point
in
time,
because
council
will
make
those
case-by-case
policy
decisions,
as
things
come
to
it,
for
funding,
so
I
could
I
will
say
that
I
could
agree
to
the
braid
raft.
I
think
there
are
some
good
suggestions
here
if
the
language
concrete
and
asphalt
were
removed-
and
we
just
talked
about
street
resurfacing
because
I'm
all
in
the
same
page
here
we
want
this
money
to
go
towards
street
resurfacing
and
that
made
that
the
infrastructure
for
our
streets.
Thank
you
all.
O
Thank
you,
I
I
think
that
the
concern
here
is
that
brick
streets
will
be
overlooked
and
we
have
a
master
plan
for
brick
streets.
We
have
agreed
to
go
forward
with
that.
However,
we
have
got
such
a
severe
problem
with
the
asphalt
and
concrete
that
we
have
right
now
and
we
have
limited
funds
to
spend
on
that
and
I
think
we
need
to
move
ahead
with
this
and
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
pay
for
the
brick
streets
going
forward.
B
B
C
C
R
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
table
this
item
until
the
next
city
council
meeting
I,
think
it's
the
22nd
and
we
Stafford
produces
a
draft
alternative
based
on
this
conversation
and
if
alderman
Bray
wants
to
produce
another
document,
we
can
have
those
as
an
option
and
vote
at
that
point
in
time.
Also
with
the
the
specification
that,
in
the
staff
executive
summary
that
we
answer
some
of
these
questions,
that
we've
had
tonight
very
specifically
and
very
deliberative
Lee
as
part
of
the
record.
Yes,.
B
O
B
T
P
Say
no
okay,
but
what
I'm
going
to
do
and
what
staff
will
do
and
we've
done
in
the
past?
Is
we
we
replay
council
meetings
and
and
try
to
find
some
clarity
and
some
uniformity
and
actually
what
was
said
and
and
that's
been
the
approach
in
the
past
and
that's
what
we'll
do
with
delivery
on
now?
The
22nd.
T
P
Think
what
I
would
appreciate
is
you
know:
we've
got
staff
taking
notes,
you
know
now
we
will
replay
this
council
meeting.
I
think
you
know
I
can
decipher.
You
know
what
the
majority
of
the
council
is
looking
for,
that
will
be
included
in
a
city
manager
update
and
you
guys
will
respond
accordingly
and
if
it,
the
April
22nd
council
agenda
it
will
and
if
there's
more
work.
That
needs
to
be
done
now.
Well,.
T
B
B
P
You,
mayor
and
council,
this
item
is
one
that
could
have
gone
on
consent,
but
we
felt
it
best
to
be
on
the
regular
agenda.
This
past
March
Council
approved
an
update
to
the
zoning
ordinance
and
there
also
was
a
pledge
very
clear
direction
from
Council
that
we
also
look
at
the
r3b
portion
of
our
zoning
code
that
we
have
as
a
city
with
the
approval
of
this.
It
will
employ
how
the
olivine,
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
$35,000,
to
look
at
that
portion.
P
U
Thank
you
for
bringing
this
back
so
quickly.
I,
really
appreciate
how
how
rapidly
you
address
this.
My
understanding
was
that
the
issues
regarding
our
3b
were
specific
to
the
regeneration
and
preservation
neighborhoods
that
are
on
the
transition
air
of
the
downtown
and
not
to
all
of
the
r3b,
so
I'm
a
little
vague
about
what
this.
Why
this
is
such
a
big
scope,
I'm
also
not
particularly
clear
about
what
the
end
product
from
house
Levine
is
going
to
be.
P
G
The
intent
was
to
concentrate
these
the
study
in
directly
adjacent
to
the
downtown
and
you'll
see
that
within
that
within
the
resolution,
and
it
was
not
to
be
extent
to
extend
outside
to
those
areas
that
are
also
zoned
r3b
throughout
the
rest
of
the
community.
The
other
effort
was
that
we
are
encumbering
this
balance
under
this
year's
budget
for
use
on
next
year's
budget.
So
we
did
have
that
money
available
to
complete
the
study.
G
The
intent
of
the
and
the
recommendation
from
the
Planning
Commission
was
to
utilize
this
there's
money
over
the
next
fiscal
year,
and
so
we're
trying
to
finalize
that
commitment
and
then
your
other
question
was
utilizing.
The
Historic,
Preservation,
Commission
and
I.
Think
through
this
analysis
and
study
there'll
be
opportunity
for
both
the
Preservation
Commission,
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
residents
to
participate
in
the
process.
B
B
P
And
council
on
the
screen,
as
some
upcoming
events
that
we
have
in
the
community
and
I
have
two
additional
items.
One
I
wanted
to
give
credit
I
and
very
much
appreciate
the
comments
publicly
and
privately
to
Scout
Rathbun
as
finance
director,
his
team
that
includes
panel
a
petit,
Lynn,
Silva
and
then
also
Chris
Tomlin.
You
know
this
was
Scott's.
First
budget
he's
been
here
three
years,
but
it's
his
first
budge
budget.
P
As
the
finance
director
there
was
a
component
in
bringing
me
up
to
speed
as
the
new
city
manager
and
lord
knows,
I
had
quite
a
few
questions.
You
know
and
things
that
I
was
comparing
it
to.
In
my
experience,
so
I
guess
I
want
to
take
a
quick
moment
to
recognize
Scott
and
his
team,
for
what
I
feel
is
a
job
well
done.
I
know
you
guys
did
and
I
very
much
appreciate.
That
last
item
is
chief
clay
wheeler.
He
announced
his
retirement.
P
We've
got
a
few
months,
but
he
announced
his
retirement,
effective,
June
21st,
and
it's
something
that
clay
has
very
much
kept
me
up
to
speed
on
some
of
the
things
are
going
on
in
his
personal
life.
So
very
much
appreciate
that
he
has
kept
me
in
the
loop,
the
entire
time
and
then
also
just
want
to
recognize
and
appreciate
the
leadership
that
he's
provided
for
the
Bloomington
Police
Department.
P
Definitely
a
man
of
Gerty,
and
you
know,
I
reluctantly
in
my
press
release
and
that's
what
I
said
was
I
reluctantly
accepted
his
resignation.
I'm
gonna
ask
clay
chief:
do
you
want
to
come
up
and
make
a
couple
of
comments
and
then,
after
the
Chiefs
done,
I'm
actually
going
to
talk
about
the
next
steps,
the
recruitment
process
for
his
replacement
chief.
Y
First
off
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
several
of
you
reached
out
to
me
and
also
just
in
case
anybody's
still
watching
the
public
I
want
to
tell
them.
I
didn't
go
unnoticed,
several
of
the
comments
that
were
made
in
social
media
and
so
forth,
offering
support-
and
it
was
very
touching,
I
wish.
The
timing
was
better
but,
like
mr.
Gleason
told
me
at
the
time,
he's
never
gonna
be
good
for,
for
there's
always
gonna,
be
something
going
on
something
I
wish
I
could
try
to
help
fix
in
the
community.
Y
I
grew
up
in
I
will
say:
I'm
not
done
yet
I'm
here
till
June
21st
I've
got
some
things,
I'm
still
gonna
try
to
accomplish,
and
that
will
apply
to
some
outreach
things.
I
still
want
to
do
to
try
to
address
some
of
the
violence
and
teens,
and
just
you
know,
maybe
more
long
term
things.
Maybe
I
guess
I
can't
say
that
I'm
gonna
be
able
to
go
out
there
and
stop
violence
immediately,
but
I'm
gonna
continue
discussions
to
try
to
help
people
work
on
things
that
will
help
give
teens
hope
in
their
life.
Y
Y
P
And
then
real,
quick
mayor
and
council,
you
know
I've
been
asked
what
were
the
next
steps
and
what?
What
I
envisioned
is
a
nationwide
recruitment
for
the
next
police
chief
I
know
that
there's
some
internal
interest,
but
we
will
post
this
as
a
nationwide
search.
Another
thing
see
no
need
in
using
a
consultant.
This
is
something
that
can
be
conducted
internally.
You
know
we'll
pay
the
couple
hundred
bucks
perd
hang
our
advertisement
with
like
the
International
Association
Chiefs
police,
gov
HR
is
a
recruiting
firm.
P
You
know
just
some
of
those
that
really
truly
attract
the
kind
of
attention
that
I
believe
this
position
warrants
and
and
will
attract,
and
then
also
you
know,
then
the
net
I
plan
on
having
this
posted
sometime
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
So
that's
next
steps
very
similar
to
what
we
did
with
the
deputy
city
manager
recruitment.
B
You
very
much
mr.
Gleason
and
I
just
wanted
again
to
thank
clay,
appreciate
what
you
do
and
you
entire
department
I
just
also
the
only
announcement
that
I
have
is
that
because
it
turns
out
I
found
out
on
Friday
that
a
week
from
Friday
is
Good,
Friday
and
so
I
will
not
be
having
the
mayor's
open
house
on
that
particular
Friday.
We've
had
about
150
of
them
so
far,
I
won't
be
having
that
one.
S
Mathy
I
got
two
things
mayor.
The
first
thing
I
wanted
to
just
point
out
and
I
didn't
pull
it
from
the
agenda,
but
under
7
P
today
we
we
exchanged
some
licensing
requirement
around
keg,
Grove,
brewery
and
I.
Just
wanted
to
say
you
know.
I
was
reading
through
the
packet
and
I
was
really
impressed.
The
fact
that
keg
Grove
was
able
to
go
out
and
sit
down
with
the
white
place
neighborhood
and
were
come
to
a
resolution
of
what
was
going
to
work
for
both
entities
and
I
just
thought
that
that
was
a
you
know.
S
B
S
T
B
S
Yeah,
so
good.
The
second
thing
is
just
I've
gotten,
like
five
calls
in
the
last
two
days
as
people
are
out
doing
spring
cleaning
and
a
lot
of
people
are
concerned
about
leaves
that
didn't
get
picked
up
in
the
fall
because
it
started
snowing
like
seven
months
ago.
It
feels
like
in
October,
so
we
didn't
get
all
the
leaves
off
the
ground,
so
I
just
been
telling
everybody
just
put
your
leaves
out
the
same
as
you
put
out
any
of
the
rest
of
your
brush
and
we'll
come
and
pick
it
up.
