Okay,
awesome
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
draft
fiscal
year,
fy
2022
budget
ordinance
and
the
recommendation
is
for
the
draft
fy
20
22.
I
believe
budget
ordinance
to
be
accepted
and
placed
on
five
for
30
day
review
period.
A
B
G
I
H
A
Okay.
Thank
you.
The
item
passes
next
item
on
the
agenda.
We're
going
to
move
on
to
reports
by
elected
officials
and,
as
I
understand,
township
supervisor
deb
skill
route
is
not
available.
Is
that.
A

J

If
you
look
at
the
charts
in
2020,
the
number
of
border
review
appeals
filed
was
down
a
little
bit
and
the
amount
of
change
is
still
about
average
on
them.
J
On
a
negative
slide,
we
went
through
the
appeal
process
with
no
in-person
hearings.
Everything
was
done
over
the
phone
or
through
zoom
meetings
or
what
teams
what
the
county
had
right
now
the
total
assessed
value
for
the
city
is
at
about
two
billion
five
hundred
or
fifty
million
approximate.
A
Okay,
it
doesn't
look
like
it.
Thank
you,
steve
and
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
public
comments.
Madam
clerk,
do
we
have
any
public
comments
with
relay
in
relation
to.
B
A
A
It's
a
fun
day
today,
lots
of
interferences,
okay!
Well,
since
we
do
not
have
any
public
comment,
do
I
have
a
motion
to
adjourn
move
by
all
the
woman
bowling
and
it
looks
like
a
trusty
trusty
bowling
and
it
looks
like
trusty
painter
also
seconded
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
aye,
okay,
awesome.
We
will
see
you
guys
at
six
o'clock,
hopefully
by
then
the
mayor
will
be
back
but
we'll
see
all
right.
Thank
you
all.
So
much.
Thank
you
time
for
a
quick
bite.
B
B
F
F
E
E
E
Can
everybody
hear
me,
are
you
good?
Thank
you
very
much.
I
apologize
for
the
technical
difficulties.
They
were
twofold,
but
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
call
the
meeting
of
the
bloomington
city
council
to
order
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
start
with
the
pledge
of
allegiance.
E
F
A
I
E
Here,
thank
you
very
much.
We're
gonna
go
ahead
and
start
with
a
coven
19
update
by
our
city
manager,
mr
gleason.
G
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
I
do
have
a
few
updates.
Some
extremely
good
news
for
our
region
occurred
earlier.
Today
we
moved
back
to
phase
four
and
we
started
messaging
that
as
soon
as
we
got
the
news
from
idph
earlier
today,
but
the
business
owners
know
leslie
and
her
team
at
the
clerk's
office
kicked
something
out
to
them
almost
immediately.
G
I
think
we
did
a
media
release
as
well,
but
just
a
general
overview.
This
is
very
similar
to
where
we
were
at
late
summer,
early
fall
and
I'm
going
to
touch
on
some
of
the
the
biggies
that
maybe
the
community
is
probably
the
most
interested
in
for
seated
areas.
There
must
be
a
minimum
six
feet
between
tables
or
other
designated
patron
service
areas.
G
G
It's
going
to
be
something
that
when
we're
called
will
respond-
and
we
have
two
courses-
you
know
two
avenues
and
that
is
to
forward
the
report
to
the
liquor,
commission
or
the
health
department,
but
excited
about
this
and
ask
that
the
community
help
us
stay
in
phase
four,
so
that
we
can
advance
and
be
out
of
this
so
calling
on
the
community
to
give
us
hand
as
well
item
number
two,
the
coliseum,
the
arena
being
used
as
a
vaccination
site.
G
This
is
something
that
the
city,
staff
and
you've
got
the
county
in
there
as
well,
but
city
staff
truly
made
this
happen.
This
was
far
more
than
just
sand
county.
You
can
have
the
vaccination
center
here,
a
lot
of
logistics,
memorandums
of
understanding,
a
lot
of
legal
considerations,
a
lot
of
logistics
to
make
this
successful,
and
that's
what
we've
seen
so
far
so
extremely
happy
about
that
we're
operating
tuesday
and
thursday
health
department
rather
is
operating
tuesday
and
thursday.
G
We
could
pick
up
a
friday,
that's
something
that
carl
hospital
is
already
involved,
but
they
might
be
assisting
to
open
that
third
day
up
to
push
out
the
vaccination
to
our
communities
and
then
the
last
item,
real
quick,
an
update
on
the
cdbg
aid
for
the
small
business
assistance
grants
and
then
next
council
meeting
or
the
committee
yeah
next
council
meeting
on
february,
8th
I'll,
give
an
update
on
the
direct
date
for
the
residents.
But
on
the
business
assistance
grant
side
council
in
the
second
round
had
allocated
220
000.
G
We
have
21
applicants,
thus
far
19
are
noted
as
eligible
so
that
a
lots
for
95
000
of
the
220,
so
there's
still
about
125
000,
that's
available
on
the
small
business
assistant
grant
side
and
again
on
the
resident
side
I'll,
provide
that
update
to
council
on
february
8th.
Thank
you
mayor.
E
Thank
you
very
much.
I
very
much
appreciate
that
and
at
this
point
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
start
with
a
proclamation
under
item
6a
and
that's
recognizing
health
for
humanity.
Yoga
awareness
period,
as
requested
by
the
administration
department-
and
I
wanted
to
thank
our
distinguished
clerk
for
making
sure
that
I
had
this
right
in
hand.
The
proclamation
recognition
of
health
for
humanity
january
16th
through
31st
2021,
whereas
yoga
is
an
ancient
process
of
keeping
the
human
body
and
mind
in
good
health.
E
A
unique
set
of
yoga
postures
called
syria,
namaskar,
yoga
enthusiasts
and
local
organizations
are
participating
in
this
event.
Now,
therefore,
I
terry
reminder
mayor
of
the
city
of
bloomington,
do
hereby
proclaim
january
16th
through
the
31st
2021,
as

humanity.
Yoga
awareness
period
in
bloomington
urged
residents
to
join
the
health
for
humanity
yogathon.
E
B
Yes,
the
appointment
was
to
the
cultural
commission.
Congratulations.
E
Thank
you
and
we
certainly
appreciate
her
help
and
work
and
and
obviously
the
couple
hundred
people
or
so
who
were
involved
in
our
our
boards
and
commissions
and
and
obviously
work
for
nothing
and
do
lots
of
deep
dives
that
help
us
do
our
work.
E
E
B
We
do
we
have
four
online
tonight.
The
first
is
adam
heenan.
E
Well,
madam
quirky,
you
can
go
to
the
next
person
and
then
we
can
come
back
to
adam.
If
time
permits
go
ahead.
Sounds.
L
Adam,
I
am
here
I
am
here
and
ready,
but
if
the
other
person
is
ready
to,
they
can
go
first.
I
K
Oh
okay-
sorry
about
that.
So
my
name
is
krishna
balakrishnan
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
a
comment
to
the
thanks
to
the
mayor,
city,
council
and
city
staff.
So
I'm
I'm
one
of
the
petitioners
for
one
of
the
items
on
the
consent
agenda
for
rezoning
the
hawthorne
subdivision.
K
So
I
just
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
just
clarify
some
of
the
comments
that
I
didn't
hear
them
directly,
but
from
other
council
members
and
other
staff
that
I
city
staff
that
I
heard
from
the
residents
that
are
neighboring
to
where
we
are
planning
to
rezone
the
property.
K
So
I
just
wanted
to
start
off
by
saying
I
just
want
to
assure
everybody
that
you
know
we're
doing
this.
You
know,
out
of
you,
know,
good
faith
and
no,
we
want
to
develop
the
land.
We've
had
the
property
for
almost
eight
nine
years,
since
we
got
the
ownership
and
we
just
wanted
to
have
some
development
in
the
property
and
that's
that's
the
outcome
of
what
we
did
for
the
the
condo
subdivision
that
came
out
there
and
we're
just
continuing
the
process
for
it.
K
So
I'm
just
going
to
highlight
on
the
three
things
that
I
heard
was
a
concern.
One
was
the
traffic
and
the
other
was
the
the
property
value
and
the
green
space
about
the
traffic
the
where
the
location
where
we
are
rezoning
it
most
of
the
traffic
is
going
to
get
diverted
either
through
woodbine
or
leslie
drive,
which,
which
would
have
the
traffic
go
to
ge
and
towanda
bonds,
and
the
subdivision
that
is
nearby,
which
is
on
norma,
drives
a
fair
lake
wouldn't
get
affected
based
on
the
plants
that
we
have.
K
I
want
to
lay
that
out,
and
second
thing
is
the
the
home
values
was
one
of
the
concerns
since
we're
planning
multi-family
units.
These
units
are
going
to
be
high
quality
like
the
ones
that
we
did
right
now
for
the
the
con,
the
townhome
subdivision
that
we
have
on
woodbine.
K
So
we
want
to
assure
everybody
that
you
know
it's
going
to
be
high
quality,
that's
going
to
be
appealing
to
the
neighborhood
standards
and
all
that
and
obviously
we,
your
majority
of
the
land
there
and
we
don't
want
to
shoot
ourselves
in
the
foot
by
putting
low
low
quality
units
out
there.
The
third
thing
I
want
to
assure
is
the
green
space,
so
we're
adhering
to
all
the
green
space
and
the
parkland
requirements.
K
The
city
has
laid
out
so
we're
just
following
all
the
process,
and
I
hope
the
council
would
consider
approving
this
and
going
forward
with
this
development.
That's
all
I
have
thank
you.
E
Thank
you
very
much
and
let's
go
to
adam
adam.
Are
you
still
on
the
line.
L
Thank
you,
city
councilors.
I
come
to
united
with
a
serious
issue.
Honor
about
january
19th,
the
bloomington
police
department
posted
a
still
image
of
a
black
man
filmed
by
a
doorbell
camera
somewhere
in
our
area,
with
a
caption
that
read
help
us
find
him
on
their
facebook
page.
The
bpd
posts
gave
no
proof
of
wrongdoing
only
saying
elsewhere
in
the
post
that
he
was
wearing
a
fedex
uniform
picked
up
a
package
then
put
it
down
and
left
and
is
currently
under
investigation
and
assumed
to
be
the
person
they're.
L
Looking
for
since
december,
the
police
never
stated
if
they
verified
that
this
was
a
fedex
worker
or
not
before
posting
the
image.
Now,
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge,
the
posts
have
since
been
removed,
but
I'd
like
to
express
that
I
think
it's
a
terrible
policy
for
the
bpd
bpd
to
be
posting
pictures
of
individuals
for
whom
they
are
looking.
The
general
public
should
not
be
outsourced
to
do
the
work
of
those
who
are
trained
city
paid
investigators.
L
Now,
through
a
request,
the
bpd
provided
me
a
link
to
their
current
bpd
social
media
policy,
which
was
last
reviewed
in
february
2016
and
without
being
an
expert
on
social
media.
I
was
still
able
to
determine
that
there
are
a
number
of
outdated
web
terminology
and
practices
that
are
most
likely
no
longer
considered
best
practices
in
community
safety
and
policing
and
may
not
even
be
up
to
date
in
terms
of
social
media,
legal
and
ethics
standards
such
as
illinois,
laws
regarding
image
and
audio
usage,
but,
most
importantly,
anytime,
the
bpd
posts.
L
Could
someone
taking
the
law
into
their
hands,
try
to
justify
their
actions
based
on
a
post
from
our
bloomington
police
department?
After
what
we've
seen
take
place
in
washington
dc
on
january
6,
we
know
that
some
of
us
take
irrational
obscene
and
unthinkable
action
when
authority
figures
post
online.
L
Now
I
implore
the
city
council
with
direction
from
the
pscrb
to
seek
changes
with
the
within
the
bpd
social
media
policy,
to
prevent
this
type
of
broken
windows,
bounty
hunting
and
bring
the
bloomington
pd
social
media
policy
up
to
safety,
ethics
and
legal
standards
for
online
activity
by
those
acting
on
behalf
of
the
public,
no
posting
of
pictures
of
people
whose
identity
they
don't
know,
or
individuals
who
haven't
been
charged
of
a
crime
even
better.
No
posting
of
images
of
individuals
who've
yet
to
be
convicted
of
a
crime.
L
Furthermore,
I
would
implore
the
bloomington
human
rights
council
to
look
into
this
man's
case
in
terms
of
any
violation
of
this
person's
privacy
under
state
law
of
image
or
likeness,
sharing
and
or
potential
violation
of
guidance
issued
by
the
illinois
department
of
human
rights.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration
on
this.
E
Thank
you
next,
madam
clerk.
M
Good
evening,
thanks
for
the
city,
members
and
everyone
here
for
providing
me
this
opportunity,
I
represent
woodbine
investment
group,
who
are
the
current
developers
of
the
10
town
home
suggestion
to
the
property
that
is
currently
being
rezoned
or
requested
being
re-examined
under
agenda
item
8g,
I
like
to
add
some
more
points
to
what
krishna
the
landowner
mentioned.
M
So
we
developed
around
10
town
homes
there
in
two
separate
buildings
and
as
part
of
phase
one.
We
completed
all
these
ten
town
homes
and
the
five
of
them
are
currently
sold
and
then
the
other
five
is
currently
listed,
and
these
are
like
krishna
mentioned
upgraded,
high
quality
construction
following
all
city
of
bloomington
courts
and
ordinances
and
national
residential
building
code,
and
also
in
terms
of
the
families
out
there.
M
Thereby
we
are
not
leaving
anything
to
the
question
of
reduced
building
values
or
home
values
in
and
around
the
area,
and
also
in
the
best
interest
of
both
the
backyard
neighbors.
Who
are
norma
and
also
the
families
of
brought
these
town
homes
from
us?
We
would
like
to
see
the
adjacent
property
also
rezoned,
because
the
current
b1
presidential
zoning
does
not
permit
us
to
continue
this
development
with
a
special
use
permission,
which
is
what
we
did
last
time.
M
So
that's
where
we
are
kind
of
requesting
the
landowners
to
extend
this
rezoning
also
also
just
to
give
some
additional
information
we
plan
to
put
in
some
homes
which,
with
extremely
modern
new
architecture
out
there,
which
again
is
going
to
improve
the
total
outlook
on
flavor
of
the
community
and
like
krishna
mentioned,
we
definitely
don't
want
to
hit
our
foot
by
going
in
for
anything
lower
quality
or
anything
that
disturbs
the
quality
of
the
community
out
there
again
thanks
everyone
for
providing
me
this
opportunity
and
I'm
providing
these
information
in
favor
of
the
request
for
rezoning.
E
B
Sorry
mayor,
we
do
have
one
more
person
to
speak
on
public
transport.
B
Yeah
this
is
the
fourth
one
and
then
I
also
have
a
list
of
emailed
individual
persons
that
emailed
public
comments.
Thank
you
all
right.
So
next
up
for
public
comment
is
ravishandran
nadar,
sorry,
natarajan.
E
N
Yes,
good
evening,
all
right
able
to
hear
me:
yes
go
ahead,
yeah
good
evening
all
thanks
for
the
city
council
members
for
allowing
me
to
give
my
comment
on
the
new
development
of
project.
So
my
name
is
ravi
chandra
narajan
I
live
in
3701
pamela
drive,
I'm
living
there.
My
home
is
that
from
I
purchased
this
home
from
2015.
N
So
I
heard
about
this
rezoning
opportunity
is
happening
in
the
woodbine
upper
woodbine,
or
this
is
a
rezoning
on
the
property
on
mixed
residence
district
and
as
well
as
the
multiple
family
residents,
so
as
a
community
living
there.
I
welcome
this
project
and
also
I

which
built
recently
I
visited
that
and
couple
of
my
friends,
also
bought
this
property,
which
I
liked
the
way
it
was
it
was
developing.

E
Thank
you
very
much
thanks
under
item
eight,
our
consent
agenda
are
there
items
that
members
of
the
council
would
like
to
have
removed
for
separate
consideration.
E
A
as
an
apple,
okay,
yes
and
councilmember,
maboka
middlewomboy,.
E
Okay,
any
other
items
seeing
none
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
a
consent
agenda,
as
presented
with
the
exception
of
items?
Eight
a
and
eight
g,
so
moved
council
member
crabill,
second
by
council
member
bowling.
Okay,
at
this
any
discussion
saying
that
madam
kirk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll.
H
E
O
Yeah
I
I
would
like
to
make
some
clarifications
on
the
minutes.
On
page
four,
there
is
some
interchanging
of
the
words
resolution
ordinance
and
initiative
and
that's
causing
some
conflation
in
the
public
sphere.
O
O
I
would
like
to
have
a
clarification
yeah.
I
think
she
probably
did
leslie
said
that
she
would
take
care
of
it.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
it
on
the
record
that
what
I
brought
forward
was
the
resolution,
but
in
the
minutes
it's
listed
as
an
ordinance
and
welcoming
city
ordinance
is
listed
as
an
initiative,
so
that
needs
to
be
clarified.
So
that's
that
it's
that
it's
clear
what
it
is
that
was
proposed.
So.
E
Okay,
is
there
a
second
second
by
council
member
bray?
Madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll.
B
I
do
they've
actually
already
been
edited.
So,
if
you
think
back
to
that
conversation,
there
was
a
lot
of
referencing
of
it
as
ordinances
and
resolutions
and
whatnot,
and
so
I've
spoken
with
staff
and
we've
got
it
all
lined
up
what
needs
to
happen
for
clarity.
I
think
it's
just
really
a
scrivener's
error
in
the
sense,
because
it
is
correct
in
the
heading
and
in
the
motions,
as
stated,
but
a
couple
of
times
within
what
individuals
said
there
there
needed
to
be
a
clarification,
so
yep
thank.
C
P
I
E
Yes,
thank
you
very
much
motion
carries
no
nays
to
announce.
Madam
clerk.
We
moved
to
item
eight
g
and
that
was
poo
pulled
by
councilmember
middle
of
wombway.
A
Sure
so,
based
on
the
emails
that
I
many
of
us
have
received
and
and
some
of
which
were
also
shared
with
the
planning
commission,
I
I
believe
there
seems
to
be
some
confusion
amongst
residents
to
as
to
the
the
scope
of
the
project
envisioned
by
the
developer
and
therefore
a
a
need
for
clarification.
E
Second,
by
council
member
bray,
I
do
have
a
question
first
of
of
mr
jurgens,
since
this
has
already
gone
through
the
process.
Are
there
any
legal
issues
for
us
these
that
we
had
lots
of
people
that
have
now
come
forward?
That
said,
nothing
through
the
initial
processes.
C
No,
and
and
that's
kind
of
the
reason
for
sending
this
back
to
the
to
the
planning
commission
so
that
this
will
go
through
the
formal
process
and
they
will
be
on
the
record.
My
understanding
is
some
of
it
was,
and
so
part
of,
I
think
what
the
the
motion
allows
is
for
that
further
discussion
to
maybe
get
some
clarity
on
some
of
those
concerns
that
have
been
raised.
C
E
You
I
appreciate
that
any
council
member
bolan
and
bray.
O
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
most
residents
don't
really
know
the
process
until
it
comes
on
on
the
agenda
and
then
it's
too
late
to
make
changes.
I
know
that
we
can
send
it
back
to
the
planning
commission,
but
I
don't
know
how
to
go
about
getting
the
information
out
to
the
public
so
that
they
know
they
need
to
go
to
the
planning
commission
to
speak
their
mind
before
it
gets
forwarded
to
the
council.
I
I
just
wanted
to
echo
that
I've
received
a
lot
of
community
input
on
this
particular
issue
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
some
discussion
between
the
developer
and
the
community
to
see
if
there
can't
be
some
consensus
building
here
about
some
development
that
that
matches
expectations
and
opportunity.
F
I
I
E
Thank
you
very
much
motion
carry.
There
are
no
names
to
announce,
madam
clerk.
At
this
point,
then
we
move
to
our
regular
agenda
under
9.
A
this
is
a
presentation
of
the
fiscal
year
2022
the
budget
preview,
as
requested
by
the
finance
department.
At
this
point,
of
course,
there
is
a
presentation
only
and
discussion.
Only
there
are
no
motions
here.
E
We
have
12
minutes
to
be
precise
presentation
here
on
the
agenda
for
mr
rathman
and
then
a
12-minute
council
discussion,
but
let's
go
ahead
and
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
our
city
manager.
For
any
preparatory
remarks,
mr
gleason.
G
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council
for
the
community
an
exciting
night.
This
is
our
first
public
discussion
about
our
fiscal
year
22
budget.
Our
budget
cycle
is
may
1st
through
april
30th,
so
we're
ending
fy21
and
the
very
kickoff
meeting
for
fy22.
G
So
a
lot
of
work
yet
to
be
done.
This
presentation
will
be
rather
short
because
we
are
building
we're
meeting
with
the
elected
officials
and
then
we're
presenting
and
sharing
with
the
community,
something
that
we're
going
to
do
differently
this
year
and
it
came.
It
came
out
as
suggestions
in
last
year's
fiscal
budget
fiscal
year.
Budget
preparation
is
every
time
before
a
substantial
piece
of
fy
22
is
going
to
be
discussed.
G
We
plan
on
posting
a
video
that's
going
to
be
prepared
either
by
the
finance
director,
scott
rathman
or
the
budget
manager
chris
tamerlin.
We
did
not
get
that
done
this
past
friday,
just
wanting
to
tweak
and
make
sure
that
the
product
that
we're
putting
out
there
is
something
that
you
know
we're
proud
of
and
can
be
followed
fairly
easy.
G
In
addition
to
that,
in
addition
to
the
specific
conversation
about
fy
22,
we're
going
to
put
out
a
series
of
videos
called
budget
101
and
we're
finishing
those
up,
if
they're
not
completed
and
out
tomorrow
on
our
website,
they
will
be
out
no
later
than
wednesday,
breaking
it
up
into
four
or
five
different
sections.
G
Where
we're
just
sharing
the
process,
you
know
what,
as
stewards
of
taxpayer
dollars,
this
is,
you
know
quite
the
honor
and
privilege,
that's
been
entrusted
to
us
and
it's
something
that
we
want
the
community
to
understand
as
best
they
possibly
can
so
again.
Kickoff
meeting
regarding
fy
22
tonight
and
I'm
gonna
turn
this
over
to
scott
rathbun.
To
kick
this
off.
Thank
you.
Scott.
Q
Thank
you,
city
manager,
mayor
and
council
phil.
Could
you
bring
up
the
presentation?
Please
well
feels
phil's,
bringing
that
up
we're
actually
a
little
ahead
of
where
we
were
last
year.
At
this
time,
we're
going
to
be
running
through
essentially
the
same
presentations
as
a
prior
year
tweaking
those
as
we
go
along
given
input
that
we
get
from
council
in
the
community.
Q
I
actually
wanted
to
push
the
cycle
out
slightly
related
to
getting
more
visibility
on
kovid.
You
know
things
are
changing
all
the
time,
but
we
had
to
draw
the
line
and
we
took
a
conservative
position
and
we
did
our
prelim
balancing
and
so
tonight
we're
going
to
be
presenting.
Q
Essentially
the
second
presentation
that
we
did
last
year
prelim
totals
major
tax
revenues
as
comparison
to
the
fy
21
budget.
The
general
fund
statement
of
revenues
and
expenditures
by
category
same
exhibit
that
we
go
through
during
the
finance
director's
report
and
then
grand
totals
for
the
funds
for
the
capital
projects
next
slide.
Phil.
Q
Q
G
And
actually
real
quick
for
the
community.
That's
watching
end
of
the
month,
as
always,
finance
director's
report.
Scott's
gonna
do
that
and
that's
what
was
accidentally
put
up
on
the
screen
so
give
us
just
a.
G
G
And
scott
you're
still
locked
into
12
minutes.
Q
Okay,
okay,
so,
while
that's
coming
up
I'll
I'll
start
we're
currently
at
a
citywide
budget,
total
of
245
million
million
next
slide,
please
phil.
That's
roughly
a
15
million
dollar
increase
I'll
reference,
the
capital
projects
line
by
showing
a
54.3
million
dollar
total
for
capital
projects,
with
an
increase
of
13.3
million.
Q
So
the
majority
of
the
increase
for
the
city-wide
budget
is
related
to
a
capital
projects
and
those
capital
projects
include
include
a
plus
10
million
dollar
placeholder
for
o'neill
pool,
and
then
the
major
component
other
component
is
a
water
fund,
has
capital
improvement,
project
increase
of
around
5
million,
and
many
of
these
projects
were
actually
are
actually
rolling
from
21
to
22,
but
they're,
not
all
new
the
general
fund
budget,
currently
at
109
million,
that's
a
decrease
of
1.2
million
actually,
and
that's
due
to
taking
our
revenue
revenues
budgeted
for
22
down
from
21
related
to
what
we
see
is
residual
covid
impact
going
into
next
year.
Q
The
general
fund
fund
balance,
however,
we're
still
looking
at
a
relatively
healthy
fund
balance
at
end
of
22
of
around
24
million
dollars,
and
that
includes
using
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
fund
balance
to
cover
operating
shortfalls
for
the
general
fund
for
cash
for
equipment.
This
is
a
line
item
that
we
had
on
here.
Last
year,
it's
been
strategically
discussed
to
try
to
wean
ourselves
off
using
the
capital
equipment
lease
every
year
for
our
capital
equipment.
Last
year
we
had
a
line
on
here
showing
the
general
fund
at
650
000..
Q
We
currently
don't
have
any
cash
for
equipment
budgeted
due
to
the
revenue
shortfall,
we're
projecting
in
22.,
so
only
536
thousand
dollars
for
non-general
funds.
That's
primarily
the
waterfront
next
slide.
Please.
Q
Major
tax
revenues
I'll
jump
to
the
bottom.
This
is
a
comparison
to
21
to
22..
Right
now
we
have
revenues
down
3.6
million
these
major
tax
revenues.
You
can
see
the
largest
component
of
that
is
homeworld,
taking
that
down
1.4
million
almost
six
percent,
we're
averaging
10
percent
below
budget
right
now.
Q
For
these
for
covent
impact,
we
will
realize
some
benefit
from
the
local
portion
of
internet
sales,
taxes
that
went
into
effect
january
1st.
That
will
reclassify
some
of
our
tax
revenues
from
local
use
tax,
which
is
about
halfway
down
the
screen
up
to
home
rule,
but
still
taking
a
conservative
approach
that
we
could
see
a
six
percent
decrease
in
home
rule
utility
tax
revenue
is
down,
123
budgeted
so
far,
all
related
to
telecom.
Q
This
impacts
our
dollars
available
for
pension,
public
safety,
pensions,
utility
tax
increase
that
went
into
effect
in
2016
about
40
percent
of
total
utility
tax
revenues
is
related
to
that
increase,
and
so
40
of
that
twenty
123
thousand
dollars
will
be
a
direct,
have
a
direct
impact
on
the
revenues
available
for
public
safety,
food
and
beverage.
This.
This
is
one
of
those
categories
that
goes
up
and
down
depending
on
the
mitigation
requirements.
So
last
month
we
had
a
30.
Well,
we
had
a
30.
Q
We
have
experienced
30
percent
under
budget
in
the
months
where
there's
no
ends
inside
dining
allowed,
otherwise
we
average
about
11
under
budget,
so
being
conservative.
At
this
point,
we've
taken
this
down:
575
000
for
about
13
local
motor
fuel
tax,
700
000,
we're
averaging
about
16
percent
under
budget.
This
could
have
a
long
term
it
could.
We
could
be
realizing
a
long-term
impact
on
this
category
related
to
the
remote
workforce
that
may
stick
around
post
covid
and
this
directly
impacts
our
asphalt
and
concrete
fund
dollar
for
dollars.
Q
So
700
thousand
dollar
reduction
in
the
revenue
is
a
700,
000,
less
transfer
to
the
asphalt
and
concrete
fund
and
then
I'll
jump
down
to
hotel
motel.
Another
category
that
could
have
a
long-term
impact
from
covid
hotel
motel
november
was
down
48.
Q
We
see
this
is
continuing,
as
still
there
could
be
a
reluctance
for
travel
or
this
virtual
workforce
that
we're
experiencing
currently
next
slide.
Please
general
fund
revenues
and
expenditures
this.
This
is
the
revenues
portion,
obviously
we'll
be
going
through
the
city-wide
version
of
this
exhibit
next
month
and
going
through
details
on
capital
projects
as
well.
Q
First
line
use
of
fund
balance.
You
can
see
it
went
from
786
to
3.4
million
I'll
skip
to
the
far
right
first
598
000
of
that
is
related
to
the
covet
operating
shortfall.
That's
the
600
000
I
was
referencing
earlier.
2.8
million
of
that
is
for
pension
coming
out
of
the
restricted
pension
reserves.
Our
public
safety
pensions
went
up
by
2
million
dollars
the
contribution
requirement
from
last
year,
primarily
driven
from
mortality
rate
tables
that
were
adjusted
and
also
some
tier
two
benefits
that
were
negotiated
in
the
state
consolidation
plan.
Q
So
we
have
a
reserve,
fortunately
created
from
the
utility
tax
increase
a
few
years
ago,
but
we're
eating
away
at
that
and
we'll
have
to
address
those
pension
needs
somewhere
over
the
coming
year.
We're
hoping
to
have
more
insight
on
the
consolidation
and
hopefully
what
they're
going
to
be
doing
is
provide
going
to
provide
some
relief
to
the
city
taxes
down
by
3.8.
Q
That
does
not
tie
to
the
major
tax
revenues
exactly
because
there's
additional
tax
revenues
within
this
category,
they're,
not
included
on
the
major
tax
revenue,
exhibit
jumping
down
the
investment
income
rates
are
going
down.
This
has
a
dramatic
impact
on
our
investment
income
revenues
from
our
healthy
reserves.
We
were
enjoying
some
some
decent
interest
returns
on
those
funds,
but
that's
going
down
as
well.
Q
Transfers
in
this.
These
are
the
charges
the
general
fund
allocates
to
enterprise
funds.
We've
had
some
some
pretty
significant
increases
related
to
credit
card
fees.
The
billing
and
collections
for
utility
taxes
is
part
of
finance,
which
is
in
general
fund.
All
those
costs
are
directly
allocated
to
the
enterprise
funds
plus
we
are
allocating
costs
to
the
arena
this
year.
We
had
not
done
that
previously
due
to
the
third
party
management.
Q
However,
the
arena,
even
with
this
allocation,
is,
is
still
going
to
have
an
improvement
of
245
000
by
taking
that
in-house
over
prior
costs
that
were
contractually
limited
to
350
000
with
venue
works
next
slide.
Please.
Q
General
fund
expenses,
salaries
just
a
point:
eight
percent
increase.
We
have
a
vacancy
savings,
we
bumped
our
vacancy
savings,
offset
to
two
million.
It
was
1.75
or
2021..
This
is
a
line
item
that
we've
inserted
a
couple
of
years
ago,
related
to
historical
underages.
If
that's
a
term
in
salaries
related
to
staffing
challenges,
specifically
with
police
and
fire,
we.
N
Q
Staff
goals
to
you
know
adhere
to
response
times
and
things
of
that
nature,
but
we
have
historically
had
a
difficult
time
keeping
the
ranks
filled
and
have
had
that
vacancy
savings.
So
we
have
included
that
in
the
budgeting
process
going
forward
benefits
the
6.8
percent
primarily
related
to
health
insurance
decreases
in
commodities,
I'll
jump
down
to
other
intergovernmental
expense
that
1.9
almost
2
million
dollar
increase,
is
primarily
related
to
the
public
safety
pensions
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
Q
Also
in
that
category
category
is
connect,
transit
and
mclean
county,
so
part
of
that
increase
is
related
to
a
slight
increase
in
connect
transit
as
well
and
then
transfers
out.
This
is
where
we
have
some
interfund
relationships:
general
fund,
where
the
major
tax
revenues
deposit
into
that
fund,
and
then
we
transfer
out
to
asphalt
and
concrete
specifically
related
to
local
motor
fuel
tax.
But
we
took
that
down
by
700
000,
so
that
transfer
out
is
being
reduced
by
700
000..
Q
We
took
home
rule
down
by
1.4
million
over
21.,
so
that
transfer
has
gone
down
by
10
because
10
percent
of
home
rule
taxes
are
earmarked
for
asphalt
and
concrete.
So
that
transfer
went
down
by
140
000.
and
then
in
21
we
had
a
budget
of
1.2
million
to
be
transferred
to
the
capital
improvement
fund,
because
revenues
were
trending
so
well.
In
21
we
had
that
surplus
in
the
general
fund
that
allowed
us
to
fund
those
capital
projects.
Q
We
were
not
doing
that
transfer
this
year,
but
there
are
funds
still
available
in
the
capital
improvement
fund,
so
quickly
a
reconciliation
just
real
high
level,
we're
taking
revenues
down
significantly
from
21
and
how
does
that
reconcile
to
only
needed
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
fund
balance?
Well
that
one
of
the
the
larger
items
is
that
1.2
million
dollar
transfer
the
capital
improvement
fund
that
we're
not
doing
in
22..
Q
I
skipped
over
and
I
I
shouldn't
have
capital
expenditure
line
there.
The
648
nothing
budgeted
this
year,
that's
the
cash
for
equipment,
so
we
have
nothing
budgeted
for
cash
flow
equipment
this
year.
So
that's
the
650
000
change
in
expense
and
then
by
taking
the
vacancy
savings
up
by
another
250
000
that
accounts
for
about
2.1
million
of
the
three
million
dollar
reduction
and
the
rest
of
some
of
the
other
categories,
including
commodities,
etc.
Q
So,
just
to
run
quickly
through
capital
improvement
totals
by
fund
the
capital
improvement
fund
first
line.
These
are
general
fund
finance
capital
improvements,
so
this
was
parks
fire
things
of
that
nature
currently
have
a
little
over
10
million
dollars,
placeholder
for
o'neill
pool
in
that
fund
for
asphalt
and
concrete
7.2
million
4
million
local
motor
fuel
tax,
2.2
home
rule
and
one
fund
balance
tim.
Did
you
want
to
jump
in
here
for
a
moment
and
speak
to.
G
Q
One
more
time,
scott
did
you
want
to
jump
in
and
speak
to
the
asphalt
and
concrete
and
keeping
the
the
funds
being
projected
for
22
at
that
at
that
level,
that
minimum
level.
G
And,
and
and
for
the
community's
sake,
this
is
something
that
the
council's
weighed
in
on,
which
is
not
to
say
that
a
decision
has
been
made
at
all.
This
is
again
very
early
in
this
fy
22
process,
but
there's
a
number
in
increasing
the
four
additional
cents
for
the
local
motor
fuel
tax
in
april
of
2019,
a
pledge
was
made
to
the
community
that
if
we
hit
this
level
of
spending,
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
maintain
our
road
repairs.
Sidewalk
repairs.
G
But
I
think
what
we're
discussing
at
this
point
is
still
maintaining
that
number
that
we
have
discussed
with
the
community
in
2019
this
time
last
year
with
the
preparation
of
fy21.
G
Q
Sir
and
that
fun
we
try
to
maintain
a
fun
balance,
because
a
lot
of
the
expenditures
occur
early
in
the
fiscal
year
and
the
revenues
come
in
later
in
the
year,
but
but
we're
we're
extending
in
our
use
of
fund
balance
kind
of
taking
out
that
reserve
to
try
to
meet
that
that
minimum
requirement
that
the
city
manages
just
spoke
of
motor
fuel
tax.
This
is
the
state
motor
fuel
tax.
Our
share
of
that
these
are
for
larger
projects.
Q
The
state
has
to
approve
water,
12.9
million,
that's
up
from
7.8
the
prior
year,
sewer
58
storm
one
seven
in
the
library.
This
is
their
their
design
for
their
for
their
new
improved
facilities,
the
design
plans
in
the
arena
for
design
and
review
of
the
rooftop
units
there.
So
that's
roughly
54.3
million
that
there.
If
you
flip
this,
it
doesn't
add
up
to
exactly
54.3
million
just
because
we
rounded
up
to
hundreds
of
thousands
here.
Q
So
I
want
to
point
that
out
to
auditors
in
the
audience
that
might
be
putting
my
my
totals
so
next
slide,
please.
Q
That
really
concludes
where,
where
we
are
currently
with
the
prelim
budget,
we'll
have
another
update
on
february
22nd
to
review
the
citywide
revenues
and
expenditures
go
through
details
on
capital
projects.
The
proposed
budget
presentation
will
be
even
in
more
depth
we'll
be
running
through
these
same
set
of
exhibits
every
presentation,
so
the
community
has
a
chance
to
to
be
in
kind
of
really
understand
some
of
the
numbers
and
what
drives
them.
So
you
know
everything
is
still
kind
of
in
motion
the
impacts
of
covet
change.
Q
You
know
today
moving
into
phase
four.
I
believe
it's
referenced,
that
that's
a
very
positive
thing,
so
we'll
take
a
fresh
look
at
our
numbers,
but
currently
I'm
pretty.
Q
E
R
Scott
and
tim
actually
just
wanted
to
to
see
if
you
could
take
a
moment
to
just
explain
to
the
folks
who
are
watching
or
who
might
see
this
later
more
about
the
actual
budget
process,
because
you
know
we're
not
voting
on
individual
line
items.
So
can
you
just
kind
of
tell
us
what
is
to
be
expected
from
this
point
until
a
budget
gets
approved?
R
So
what
are
the
different
rounds
of
editing
and
what
are
the
different
points
at
which
people
can
become
engaged
if
there
is
something
that
they
that
they
want
to
speak
to
us,
their
representatives
about.
G
I
appreciate
the
opportunity-
I
guess
a
quick
walk
through
and
I
would
let
scott
weigh
in
on
this
as
well.
This
process,
you
know,
maybe
going
back
a
little
bit
more
than
what
you
were
asking
for,
but
the
finance
monthly
finance
directors
report.
It
speaks
to
not
only
the
budget
that
we
are
in,
but
it
also
at
the
tail
end
of
it.
G
We
start
mentioning
the
budget
that
is
coming
up,
that
we
are
preparing
and
starting
to
discuss
publicly
now
the
residents
you
know
if
they're
watching
or
if
they
watch
the
budget,
101
series
that
we're
going
to
put
out
tomorrow
no
later
than
wednesday
and
really
hope
to
have
it
out
and
and
announce
it
tonight
as
something
that's
prominently
displayed
on
the
website.
G
Those
questions
can
come
directly
to
me.
They
can
come
to
scott.
They
can
definitely
come
to
the
elected
officials
to
try
to
gain
a
higher
level
of
understanding.
G
So
then,
now
this
being
the
kickoff
meeting
for
fy
22
as
we're
starting
to
talk
about
some
major
projects,
you
know
even
amidst
covid,
you
know
you
talk
about
still
at
least
no
decisions
been
made.
As
you
said,
older
woman
creole,
but
you
know
we're
having
these
discussions
and
we're
advancing
some
major
projects
which
are
opportunities
for
a
community,
and
then
you
get
to
the
lesser
line
items
you
sort
of
you
know.
G
I
don't
want
to
suggest
that
it's
in
the
weeds,
but
it's
smaller
dollar
amounts
and
while
it's
you
know
fun
to
talk
about
a
five
million
dollar
project
or
a
large
purchase.
You
know
the
tens
and
fifteen
twenty
thousand
dollars.
They
add
up
as
well
so
trying
to
provide
that
level
of
understanding
for
the
community
and
definitely
seek
input
in
any
avenue
that
we
can
get
it.
R
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
explanation
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
budget
101s.
This
has
been
something
that
has
been
important
to
the
the
residents
and
the
constituents
that
I
represent
and
had
asked
for
it
last
time
around
this
time
we
have
a
little
bit
more
room
to
plan
that
out
and
make
that
something
that
can
be
a
permanent
and
sustainable
part
of
our
budgeting
process.
So
I
just
want
to
lift
that
much
super
important.
E
Thank
you
very
much
just
to
add
to
that
jen.
The
the
different
mayors,
of
course,
are
going
to
choose
to
use
their
their
powers
or
authority
in
different
ways,
but
the
mayor
of
bloomington,
which
has
a
very
broad,
structurally,
has
very
broad
veto
power,
including
line
item
veto
power.
So
it's
possible
depending
on
you
know
who
was
made.
E
I've
only
had
to
kind
of
use
a
pocket
veto
of
a
of
the
budget
once
back
in
2014,
because
we
had
a
budget
that
was
just
not
sustainable,
but
that
is
depending
on
whoever
is
elected
mayor
the
next
time
around.
They
may
view
their
role
in
the
budget
process
in
a
more
aggressive
way,
but
just
fyi.
So
those
are
the
possibilities.
I
certainly
had
a
lot
of
people
appeal
to
me
over
the
years
to
veto
specific
line
items
in
the
budget.
E
H
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah.
I
just
want
to
echo
what
alderwoman
carrillo
said
and-
and
I
believe
I
remember
right.
We
we
put
on
a
a
budget
presentation
for
our
constituents
last
time
and
and
worked
with
tim
has
got
to
do
that.
But
it's
really
nice
to
see
you
know,
being
the
the
city
being
proactive
and
helping
to.
I
H
Q
Question
as
part
of
the
the
public
safety
pension
issue
as
well
kind
of
bundling
those
that
my
my
thought
is
that
we're
going
to
get
more
visibility
on
the
public
safety
pensions
through
the
next
few
months
and
by
the
end
of
the
year
or
going
into
the
next
levy,
we're
going
to
address
that,
along
with
the
funding
of
this
bond,
potentially
related
to
a
component
of
utility
tax
or
the
property
taxes.
So
you
know,
there's,
there's
def,
there's
different
options.
Q
H
Great
and-
and
you
talked
about
the
public
safety
pension
issue
and
if
you
could
just
explain
just
a
little
bit
more
about
the
consolidation
and
how
we
hope
that
you
know,
potentially
the
the
requirement
to
have
the
pensions
fully
funded.
Will
you
know,
be
90
versus
the
city
right
now
at
100
percent?
How
much
additional
revenue
that
would
garner
for
the
city.
Q
Right
we're
waiting
to
see
whether
or
not
there's
gonna
be
standardization
related
to
that
target
percentage.
You
know
from
the
100
to
the
90.,
there's
also
a
push
by
the
illinois
municipal
league
iml
to
push
to
to
extend
the
timeline
from
2040
up
to
2050.
Q
E
You're
welcome
just
just
on
that
note
jeff
I
just
wanted
to
to
clarify.
We
haven't
raised
the
the
property
tax
that
is
the
city's
portion
of
it.
People
don't
realize
that
since
2008,
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
raise
it
now,
but
we've
often
in
the
even
the
tough
budget
years,
like
2014
15
16..
E
That
was
pretty
much
at
that
time
off
the
table,
because
the
school
districts,
of
course,
are
almost
exclusively
reliant
on
property
taxes
for
for
their
revenue
source.
We
have
multiple
options,
and
so,
as
I
say,
even
in
some
of
the
tough
budget
years
we
didn't
pursue
that
and
when
we
did
raise
the
utility
taxes
that
were
earmarked
for
pensions
back
in
2014,
we
brought
our
most
of
the
the
utility
taxes
up
to
the
level
of
normals.
E
Q
E
Q
Electric
and
gas
potential
I'm
doing
this
for
memory,
but
yes.
E
And
so
there
would.
Those
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
might
be
potentially
more
palatable
in
the
long
run,
because
that
in
many
cases
it's
like
a
dollar
ten
or
a
dollar
twenty
a
month
that
people
would
pay
and
that
might
be
more
palatable.
But
those
are
those
are
some
of
the
that's
just
a
little
bit
of
a
backdrop
of
what's
happened
over
about
the
last
12
years
in
terms
of
our
budgetary
policy.
At
this
point
I
want
to
go
to
council
member
bolin.
O
Yeah,
I
have
a
question
with
the
funding
of
the
water.
Well,
the
enterprise
funds
does
some
of
that
money
come
out
of.
I
guess
their
reserves.
Do
they
have
enough
money
held
back
or
rolled
over
from
last
year,
or
are
you
counting
on
the
revenue
coming
forward
or
a
combination
of
both.
Q
No,
the
the
enterprise
fund
capital
projects
will
be
fully
paid
for
from
those
enterprise
funds.
I'll
use
water,
as
an
example,
they've
been
accumulating
reserves.
Okay
for
many
years,
their
their
fund
balance
projected
for
the
end
of
21
is
roughly
24
million
dollars.
That's
a
fun
balance.
Okay,
so
they've
been
accumulating
those
to
what
kind
of
address
these
larger
projects
that
they're
starting
to
to
look
at.
Okay,.
E
Thanks
anybody
else.
E
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much
scott.
Thank
you,
mr
gleason.
As
well.
We
appreciate
your
work,
hard
work
on
this
and
obviously
we
have
our
fiscal
year
ends
april
30th.
So
usually
by
the
first
meeting
in
april,
we
try
to
pass
a
budget
so
in
case
something
doesn't.
It
doesn't
pass
like
it
didn't
in
2014,
we've
got
a
backup
and
we
can
actually
have
a
budget
by
may
1st.
So
thank
you
all
very
much.
At
this
point.
E
We
move
to
a
next
item
9b
and
that's
consideration
and
action
on
a
resolution,
petitioning
federal
state
and
local
government
officials
to
replace
columbus
day
with
an
indigenous
people's
day,
as
requested
by
council
member
jen
carrillo,
and
at
this
point
the
would
start
with
a
a
five-minute
presentation
by
councilmember
carrillo
and
then
up
to
about
a
15-minute
council
discussion,
and
then
we
will
vote
so
council
member
katie
go
ahead.
R
Thank
you
so
much
mayor
runner.
I
don't
plan
to
take
up
the
whole
time.
I
think
most
of
my
comments
about
why
this
is
needed
have
been
heard,
and
I
guess
I
just
want
to
explain
to
the
folks
who
might
be
watching
why
there
is
two
motions.
R
This
one
is
a
around
encouraging
our
state
and
federal
officials
to
end
the
practice
of
celebrating
columbus
day,
given
the
the
the
symbolism
that
he
evokes
and
the
history
that
has
been
kept
out
of
sight
about
what
columbus
did
upon
his
arrival
to
this
continent-
and
I
I
I
know
that
in
october
of
this
past
year
there
was
legislation
introduced
in
the
illinois
general
assembly
to
get
this
holiday
replaced,
and
my
understanding
is
that
it
will
be
reintroduced
in
the
spring
session,
and
so
us
actually
signing
this
resolution
and
encouraging
our
state
officials
to
do.
R
This
might
actually
have
an
impact
in
making
this
no
longer
a
holiday
in
our
state.
So
I
encourage
all
my
fellow
council
members
to
support
and
then
the
other
ordinance
is
about
celebrating
indigenous
people's
day
here
locally,
because
our
city
never
officially
recognized
or
celebrated
columbus
day.
So
we
are
not
replacing
one
holiday
for
another
because
we
never
celebrated
columbus
day
at
a
municipal
level,
but
these
two
proposals
go
hand
in
hand.
So
I
hope
that
folks
will
support
both.
E
Okay,
just
just
to
clarify
jen
so
that
I
can
just
is
it
fair
to
say
then
that
item
9b
is
again
a
resolution
where
we
would
urge
federal
state
other
local
officials
to
replace
columbus
day
with
indigenous
peoples
day
and
the
other
one
is
of
course,
a
local
ordinance
right.
R
The
things
that
we
have
power
over,
which
are
what
things
we
celebrate
locally
as
a
municipality-
and
you
know
my
hope-
would
be
that
we
decide
to
recognize
columbus
day
on
the
second
monday
of
the
month
of
october.
But
the
first
is
a
resolution
because
we
don't
have
power
over
what
holidays
are
celebrated
at
the
state
level,
however,
we
can
use
our
power
and
our
influence
to
advocate
for
for
a
culture
shift
around
an
issue.
That
is,
you
know,
really
important.
I
think,
particularly
given
the
last
four
years.
R
We
can
set
the
record
straight
and
we
should
use
our
power
and
our
privilege
to
do
that.
E
Thank
you
again.
I
appreciate
the
clarification
at
this
point.
We'll
begin
a
15-minute
council
discussion
or
up
to
15
minutes
comments
on
this
on
again
9b,
which
is
the
resolution.
9C
will
be
a
separate
discussion
dealing
with
the
ordinance
locally,
but
comments
about
the
resolution.
Any
council
members
okay.
Well
at
this
point,
I
will
ask
for
a
motion.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
this
as
presented
a
resolution
urging
other
elected
officials
to
do
this?.
E
I'm
sorry,
oh
I
see
hands
now.
Okay,
I
didn't
see
any
hands
before
jeff
crabiel
and
then
johnny
painter.
H
Thanks
mary,
I
got
my
push
the
button
a
little
late
there.
So
so
I
guess
first
I'd
like
to
take
the
moment
to
recognize
the
native
american
tribes
that
lived
in
this
area
before
europeans
that
include
the
kickapoo,
the
peoria,
the
kaskaskia,
the
muami
and
the
oyata
sakhoin
tribes.
H
So
I
know
some
people
in
the
past
have
referenced
that
you
know
this
resolution
ordinance
is,
is
somehow
canceled
cult,
culture
and
and
but
actually
it's
correcting
prior
cancel
culture.
You
know:
cancel
culture
is
christopher
columbus's.
Genocidal
treatment
of
indigenous
people
in
the
americas.
H
Europeans
continue
to
cancel
a
culture
of
native
americans,
some
of
whom
lived
in
this
area
for
centuries.
So
let
columbus
stay
in
the
history
books,
but
let's
not
celebrate
him
and
let's
be
a
leader
as
a
community
and
recognize
indigenous
people's
day
and
and
ask
others
to
join
us.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
Thank
you.
I
just
wondered:
if
you
talk
to
the
school
board,
hello.
D
I
just
wondered:
if
you
talked
to
the
school
boards
about
this,
because
they
last
year
celebrated
indigenous
people's
day.
I
think
it
was
on
the
monday
before
they
celebrated
columbus
day.
Have
you
discussed
this
with
them.
E
Are
you
asking
addressing
that
to
jen?
Yes,
okay,
jen,
do
you
a
question,
go
ahead.
R
I
I
haven't
I'm
happy
to
talk
to
them
about
it,
but
you
know
I'm
not
on
the
school
board,
I'm
on
the
city
council,
so
I
figured
I
would
bring
it
to
this
body
first
and
you
know
honestly
folks
have
suggested
that
we
celebrate
the
both,
I
think
they're
completely
antithetical.
R
You
would
not
celebrate
like
a
confederate
leader
and
also
celebrate
the
end
of
slavery
in
the
same
way
that
you
would
not
celebrate
indigenous
people's
day
and
then
go
oh
yeah,
but
christopher
columbus
was
so
great.
I
don't
think
those
two
can
be
reconciled,
so
that
would
not
be
my
recommendation,
but
I
do
know
that
the
chicago
public
schools
have
opted
to
recognize
only
indigenous
people's
day,
and
so
this
might
be
something
that
the
local
school
boards
might
be
open
to
as
well.
D
I
think
it
would
be
great
if
you
talk
to
them
about
it.
I
really
do
because
I
think
that
it's
really
important
that
our
children
learn
the
truth
and
I
think
that
we're
all
one
community
and
they're
part
of
it-
and
I
think
it's
important
that
that
be
factored
into
that
this
first
and
other
than
that.
You
know.
I
really
don't
have
a
problem
with
that,
but
you
know.
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
there
are
a
lot
of
indigenous
people
or
american
indians
that
were
cannibals.
D
There
were
three
tribes
in
texas
that
were,
and
the
new
york
times
has
a
great
article
that
they
wrote
about
the
cannibalism
of
the
indians
in
colorado.
So
are
you
going
to
include
that
too?
In
the
educational
component
of
all
of
this
I
mean
it.
I
think
the
truth
really
needs
to
get
out
there.
I
do
but
the
whole
truth.
R
D
R
I
E
One
at
a
time,
council,
member
painter
and
then
cousin
of
korea.
If
you
want
to
respond
council,
member
painting.
D
D
You
know
I
have
you
thought
about
going
to
other
communities
and
and
doing
this
all
together
like
to
peoria
or
champaign
urbana
or
pekin
or
decatur,
and
and
so
we
could
sign
on
together
as
a
strong
group
sure.
R
Yeah,
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to
do
that.
I
think
that's
great.
I
love
bloomington
being
a
leader
in
that
coalition,
but
just
with
all
due
respect
council
member
painter,
it
must
be
easy
to
move
on
when
it
is
not
you
and
your
family
that
have
been
personally
affected.
R
In
my
conversations
with
folks
who
are
indigenous,
they
have
to
live
every
day,
knowing
that
all
of
this
was
built
on
the
graves
of
their
ancestors
and
so
to
say,
move
on
without
sharing
that
history,
you
know
we
don't
want
to
say
that
we've
moved
on.
I
don't
think
that
that's
the
case
like
white
supremacy
and
and
genocide
continue
to
exist
in
the
world,
and
so
we
will
continue
to
have
to
fight
it.
E
Okay,
I'm
not
okay,
I
think
we
don't.
I
don't
think
we
want
to
get
a
situation.
We're
talking
passage.
I
think
what,
if
I
interpret
council
member
painters
remarks
were
that
what
all
of
the
history,
the
more
that
we
can
make
that
clear,
the
more
that
we
can
educate
people
the
better.
But
at
this
point
let
me
let
me
ask
if
there
is
a
motion,
we
can
continue
a
few
minutes
three
more
minutes
of
debate.
Is
there
a
motion
and
a
second?
At
this
point
we
don't
have
emotion.
E
A
You
need
to
unmute,
okay,
yep.
Sorry,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
You
know,
I
myself,
I
think
it's
you
know.
This
is
not
a
it's,
not
an
easy
decision.
I
I
think
you
know
when
I
thought
about
how
we
voted
on
the
initiative.
Initially
it
was,
you
know
I
don't
want
to
say
it
was
contentious,
but
I
think
there
were
different
opinions
and
to
me
that's
a
little
bit
reflective
of
what
we
do
have
in
the
community
as
well,
because
you
know
we
we
all
receive
emails
where
people
have
a
a
different
opinion.
A
So
what
I
I
think,
what
I
I
expected
out
of
this
is
to
get
a
little
bit
more
information.
You
know
to
to
really
provide
some
additional
background.
You
know
on
what
it
is
that
we're
we're
we're
trying
to
accomplish
and
also
educate
the
community
as
a
whole
before
we
we
take
a
vote
that
we
all
consider
is
is
is
very
important
because
otherwise
I
I
I
think
you
know
it
it
it.
A
It
starts
to
feel
like
it's
it's
more
opinion,
as
opposed
to
you
know
something.
That
is
that
that
has
a
solid
foundation,
and
I
don't
mean
that
to
say
you
know
that
you
know
what
is
being
proposed
is
is
not
is
not
valid,
but
I
think
you
know
there
is
some
some
value
in
also
educating
the
community
as
a
whole,
because
people
do
have
different
views
of
it.
A
You
know,
we've
had
italian
americans
who
say
they
value
columbus,
you
know
and
then,
and
they
you
know
they
kind
of
celebrate
columbus
day,
because
it
means
one
thing
to
them
and
there's
others
who
don't
so.
I
I
do
think
there's
certainly
value
in
providing
broader
education
on
the
topic
before
we
we
take.
We
take
an
important
vote,
particularly
given
that
we
we
have
a
number
of
folks
in
the
academic
community.
A
Here
you
know
who
can
educate
us
on
on
on
this
particular
topic,
and
then
I
know
some
might
feel
like
they're
educated,
but
I
know
there
are
others
who
are
also
not
educated.
I'm
specifically
talking
about
the
the
broader
community
in
in
general,
hey,
I
think
it
makes
for
for
better
votes.
That
would
you
know
kind
of
would
be
sustainable.
You
know
throughout
the
test
of
time,
so.
E
R
Yeah,
I
I
don't
disagree
that
education
is
a
good
thing
council,
member
malam
way,
but
just
in
the
same
way
that
I'm
not
going
to
say
that
a
precursor
to
celebrating
juneteenth
is
for
everybody
to
acknowledge
the
harms
of
slavery
like
we
should
all
know
that
by
now
it's
2021
and
there
shouldn't
need
to
be
any
convincing
around
that.
And
that's
why
without
hesitation.
I
would
support
that,
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
think
about
this
in
a
similar
way
there.
R
This
should
not
be
an
issue
that
is
that
controversial
and
that
it
is,
I
think,
signals
how
much
progress
needs
to
be
made
in
this
community
and
we
were
elected
to
lead
and
we
were
elected
to
legislate
based
on
our
values
and
based
on
the
things
that
we
know,
which
is
why
I
have
led
with
this
proposal,
and
I
think
at
this
point
I
would
like
to
just
call
the
question
and
okay.
E
All
right,
thank
you
very
much,
madam
clerk,
I
think
would
agree.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll
and
we'll
start
with
obviously
councilmember
matthew?
Madam
clark,
council.
F
F
O
D
P
S
E
Thank
you
very
much.
Now
again
we
go
to
the
next
item
which
again
is
related,
except
this
is
actually
an
ordinance
consideration
and
action
on
an
ordinance
recognizing
indigenous
people's
day
within
the
city
of
bloomington
and
amending
chapters.
Oh
I'm
getting
my
glasses
here.
E
Oh
sorry,
22.2
of
the
city
code
to
have
the
human
relations
commission
to
partner
with
community
organization
observance
of
this
day,
as
requested
by
council
member
jen
carrillo,
and
once
again
we
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
jen.
I
yeah
you
have
up
to
five
minutes,
and
then
we
have
about
a
15-minute
council
discussion,
council,
member
cardio.
Anything
you
want
to
add
or
or
clarify
discussion.
R
Has
been
had
I'll
make
a
motion
that
we
approve.
This
is
presented.
E
O
Yeah,
I
would
like
some
clarification:
there's
some
vague
or
ambiguous
language
in
the,
whereas
number
six,
it's
a
you
know
it
says
a
day
formally
recognized
and
to
sponsor
an
annual
obs
observance
on
or
around
the
second
monday
of
october.
E
I'm
talking
about
jeff,
do
you
understand
the
question
or
or
billy
billy
has
his
hand
up
start
with
billy.
Okay,
thanks.
T
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
members,
originally
in
the
draft
we
had
on
or
around
the
the
second
monday,
both
in
the
the
ordinance
and
in
the
the
language
and
the
desire
for
that
was
similar
to
juneteenth
in
the
event
that
people
want
our
organizations
to
hold
an
event
that
wasn't
on
that
day.
We
want
to
give
that
flexibility.
However,
upon
review
we
cr,
we
changed
that
in
the
actual
ordinance,
but
it
did
not
get
corrected
in
the
whereases,
and
so
it
was
meant
to
be
corrected
to
say
the
second
monday
in
october.
T
E
Does
that
claim,
thanks
for
you,
councilman
ebola,.
O
Well,
there's
a
second
part
to
that
now
that
that's
clarified
in
the
the
change
that
will
happen
within
the
human
relations
commission
ordinance.
O
It
says
it
says
on
the
second
monday
of
october,
which
does
not
correspond
to
the
ordinance
itself.
T
T
O
T
O
O
T
G
B
Thank
you
so
right
now
we
have
council,
member
corrio,
making
the
motion
and
council
member
emig
seconding
it.
So
if
we
could
just
amend
their
motion
to
amend
the
ordinance
to
read
on
the
second
monday
in
both
the
ordinance
and
as
presented
in
the
exhibit,
that
should
be
fine,
councilmember
carrillo.
Are
you
okay
with
that
got
a
thumbs
up?
Thank
you
and
councilmember
emig.
E
O
E
Okay,
all
right,
let's
see
we
have
council,
member
ward
and
then
emic.
E
P
Thank
you
mayor.
We
can
always
come
back
to
you,
alderwoman
ward.
I
I'm
glad
that
that
older
woman
bolen
clarified
that
statement.
It
helps
me.
I
was
wondering
about
that
that
wording
too.
So
I
appreciate
that
you
brought
it
to
the
forefront.
P
I
have
been
a
long
time
advocate
for
history
and
civic
education,
I'm
in
a
museum.
It
is
a
fundamental
form
of
cultural
literacy
and
corrupt
columbus's
arrival
launched
an
era
of
exploration
and
colonization,
and
it
is
interesting
to
me
that
fdr
endorsed
columbus
day
as
a
symbol
for
promise
and
immigration.
P
So
I
think
that
this
particular
aspect
of
the
two-pronged
initiatives
that
we're
discussing
tonight
this
one,
I
think,
is
particularly
useful
because
it
does
for
me
center
the
the
opportunity
to
educate
and
not
to
deny,
but
merely
to
seek
to
understand,
while
also
just
acknowledging
that
as
our
perceptions
change
over
time
and
our
understanding
of
history
becomes
more
rich,
that
we
acknowledge
the
past
in
a
way
that
that
is
responsive
to
how
people
experienced
what
they
went
through.
So
I
I
thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you,
council,
member
ward,.
S
Yeah,
I
think,
there's
a
certain
irony
in
that
I
was
distracted
because
I
think
that's
actually
the
point
that
I'm
trying
to
make
is
that
last
fall.
I
was
as
I
was
coming
on
to
this
council.
There
was
conversation
about
how
it
seemed
like
the
previous
resolution
that
had
been
made
or
proclamation
rather
is
the
word.
I'm
looking
for
had
been
kind
of
overlooked.
S
This
past
fall
and
and
nothing
was,
was
really
pursued
with
regard
to
indigenous
people's
day,
and
I
think
that
that's
representative
of
what
happens
when
something
isn't
taken
seriously
and
and
put
into
an
ordinance.
I
think
that's
why
we
need
an
ordinance,
because
there's
lots
of
noise
that
can
distract
us
and
lots
of
things,
lots
of
ways
that
we
can
continue
to
overlook
truth
and
I
think,
having
it
as
an
ordinance
and
having
it
as
something
that
that
we
hold
ourselves
accountable
to
looking
at
is
pretty
essential
here.
E
Thank
you
very
much
molly
last
but
not
least
because
we're
a
little
bit
over
time,
councilmember.
E
Okay,
sorry
about
that.
Well,
at
this
point,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
we're
gonna
call
the
question
and
johnny.
If
we
can't
hear
you,
you
can
either
go
up
or
down.
Okay.
Madame
could
you
please
call
the
roll.
E
E
P
E
Thank
you
very
much
motion
carriers.
There
are
no
no
needs
to
announce,
madam
clerk,
we'll
move
on
to
item
9d
and
that's
consideration
and
potential
action
regarding
ordinance,
2020-18,
an
ordinance
declaring
a
local
emergency
due
to
the
covid19
virus
and
enacting
various
emergency
measures,
and
I'm
going
to
this
again
is
a.
There
are
no
no
modifications
recommended,
but
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
mr
gleason
and
possible
council
questions.
Mr
gleason.
G
Thank
you,
mayor
no
modifications,
like
you
just
said
there
could
be
some
at
the
february
8th
council
meeting.
Okay.
Thank
you.
E
G
Thank
you
mayor
and
council,
like
I
said
at
the
beginning
of
the
fy
22
budget
presentation,
the
kickoff.
This
is
the
last
council
meeting
for
the
month.
G
We
continue
to
be
impacted
by
covet,
but
not
as
much
as
we
thought
as
a
community
and
in
several
areas
we
amend
our
projections,
our
negative
projections
to
a
little
bit
firmer
ground,
but
make
no
mistake
to
the
community
while
we're
positive
about
where
we
stand
financially.
G
There
still
is
a
covered
impact
to
this
community,
but
a
lot
of
times
when
we
comment
it's
because
we're
very
aw,
very
aware
of
some
of
the
surrounding
communities
that
were
far
worse
shaped
going
into
covid
and
definitely
that's
compounded
amidst
coven.
So
we
have
a
healthier,
stronger,
resilient
community
and
hope
for
an
end
in
sight.
Scott.
Q
Thank
you,
senior
manager,
gleason
phil.
Can
you
bring
up
the
financial
summary
please
and
and
I'll
jump
on
some
of
the
comments
that
were
just
made
using
the
term
resilient?
You
know
we
we've
seen
some
revenue
categories
really
really
take
a
shot,
but
then
we've
seen
other
revenue
categories
where
it
seems
to
be.
Q
You
know
where
that's
where
those
dollars
are
going,
so
there
has
been
a
an
overall
impact
and
it's
it's
going
to
be
a
negative
impact,
but
you
know,
along
with
our
resilient
community
and
fortunately
for
the
3.2
million
dollars
in
and
local
cure
dollars
that
that
we
received
a
couple
of
months
ago
were
in
decent
shape,
but
things
are
always
moving.
You
know
just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
doing
the
updates
on
the
projections.
Q
You
know
with
no
insight,
dining,
etc,
and
now
here
today
we're
getting
good
news.
So
always
in
motion
is
the
future.
I
think
yoda
said
that
so
next
slide,
please
tim
smiley
got
a
little
star
wars
reference
there,
but
you
can
see
in
the
year-to-date
dollar
variance
column
the
kind
of
impact
the
code
has
had
I'll
just
zero
in
a
couple
here.
Q
The
home
rule
sales
tax,
nearly
1.9
million
dollars
down
a
year
to
date
over
in
the
far
right
column
you
can
see
it
was
11
under
budget
the
last
month
of
recognition.
We've
got
six
months
in
so
far
there's
you
know
a
two
month:
recognition
delay
on
on
these
on
sales
tax.
It's
actually
a
three
month
delay
between
retail
sales
and
when
we
reflect
it,
we've
been
averaging
about
10
down
on
state
sales
tax.
You
can
see
the
overall
impact.
Q
Year-To-Date
is
421
thousand
dollars,
but
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
we've
basically
been
positive
over
budget
ever
since
the
first
couple
of
months
of
the
year,
so
state
sales
tax-
you
know
it
includes
obviously
groceries,
prescription
drugs
registered
vehicles.
Things
of
that
nature.
We
don't
have
it
on
here,
but
our
vehicle
use
taxes
is
over
budget
as
well.
So
another
sign.
You
know
that
the
local
economy
is
strong
and
the
dollars
are
just
kind
of
finding
their
way
into
the
city
in
a
different
fashion.
Income
tax
continues
to
do
really
well.
Q
This
is
one
of
those
things.
One
of
those
categories
we
just
continue
to
think
is
going
to
go
down
and
every
month
you
know
it
can
come
in
80
to
90
thousand
dollars
over
and
and
that
can
swing
our
projections
really
quickly,
one
way
or
the
other
local
motor
fuel
tax,
half
million
dollars
year-to-date
the
last
month
of
activity
that
we
reflect
is
20
under
we've
been
averaging
16
under.
So,
as
I
mentioned
during
the
budget,
22
comments
this
this
one
could
could
have
a
long
term.
Q
I
could
realize
long-term
impact
from
cove
it
related
to
a
remote
workforce,
food
and
beverage
last
month.
I
believe,
that's
for
november
30,
under
it
we've
been
averaging
10
to
11
under
during
covid,
so
we're
looking
for
a
rebound
there
excited
for
our
local
businesses,
with
the
recent
events
announced
today.
Q
Q
You
know
some
of
that
is
being
offset
by
people
purchasing
online
and,
as
I
mentioned
during
the
22
comments
as
of
january
1st,
online
retailers
are
supposed
to
start
charging
that
local
portion
it's
a
little
hard
to
try
to
estimate
that,
but
it
should
it
should
be
a
positive
impact
on
the
city
and
then
finally,
hotel
motel,
the
534
thousand
dollars
under
year-to-date
48,
nearly
under
the
last
month
of
recognition,
could
have
a
material
long-term
impact
in
that
category
as
well.
Q
Q
Q
We
we
do
a
very
detailed
update
of
the
current
year
projections.
We
obviously
do
the
next
year's
coming
budget
and
then
we
do
our
future
years
for
future
years.
So
when
we're
doing
the
budget
we'll
go
through
every
single
account,
every
single
account
in
the
city
and
and
look
at
the
the
projection
for
the
current
year.
Q
So
as
of
now,
you
can
see
that
our
I'm
focusing
on
the
projection
budget
adjustments
column
here
that
our
total
revenue
adjustments
are
down
7.6
million,
a
significant
portion
of
that
you
know
if
you
look
at
charges
for
services.
You
know
this
is
the
bcpa
and
things
like
that.
You
know
that
are
just
shut
down,
but
they
have
a
pretty.
Q
So
the
7.6
million
dollar
reduction
in
revenues
pretty
much
it's
evenly
offset
by
the
7.3
million
dollar
reduction
expenses.
So
we're
currently
showing
you
know,
quarter
million
dollar
offset
net
deficit
related
to
covid.
You
know
that
that's
pretty
positive,
but
of
course,
if
you
look
up
there
at
the
very
first
line,
you
can
see
that
3.2
million
dollars
in
a
local
cures
allocation
that
really
helped
us
out
during
the
fiscal
year
next
slide.
Please.
Q
Q
Q
You
know
I
I
don't
normally
reference
this,
but
since
we
were
talking
solid
waste,
budgeted
use
of
fund
balance
for
2021
was
207
thousand
dollars
not
to
get
in
too
much
detail.
But
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
I
usually
just
reference
the
revenues
we
had
a
planned
use
of
fund
balance
for
solid
waste
of
207
for
the
year
revenues
are
tracking,
so
we're
good
for
that
fund.
Right
now-
and
I
will
conclude
at
that
mo
at
that
part
and
see
if
there
are
any
questions
related
to
21
questions.
E
No
hands.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
madam
kirk.
Thanks
scott,
we
move
then
to
our
city
manager's
discussion,
mr
gleason.
G
Thank
you
mayor
and
council.
I've
got
four
slides
phil
if
you
would
put
up
the
first
one.
G
Please,
and
here
we
go
curbside
market,
the
stores
open
sunday,
the
31st
at
noon
store
closes
tuesday
february
2nd,
and
this
is
something
that
the
economic
development,
community,
economic
and
community
development
team
of
melissa's
just
trying
to
find
a
way
to
be
creative.
Where
and
I'm
talking
about
the
coliseum,
a
farmer's
market
typically
would
have
been
indoors,
but
you
know
the
higher
need.
The
priority
became
the
vaccination
center.
Well,
she
was
and
she
being
the
director
melissa
hahn,
found
a
way
to
be
creative
and
continue
this.
G
So
that's
the
times
coming
up
here
next
weekend,
next
slide.
Phil
and
love
is
in
the
air.
This
one
I
can
barely
read
because
it's
so
faint,
but
it's
the
tour.
The
chocolate
maybe
postponed,
but
love
is
in
the
air
and
I'm
sorry,
I
cannot
read
the
last
part
february.
First
friday
looks
like
february
5th.
Can
you
see
that
leslie.
G
Sorry,
I
butchered
that,
but
that's
a
great
event
in
our
downtown
next
slide.
Two
new
hires
connor
allwood
is
a
second
generation
city
employee.
His
dad
works
for
us
as
well,
so
welcome
aboard
connor,
and
then
we
have
charlie
kaiser,
a
utility
worker.
Welcome
aboard
to
charlie
as
well
last
item
is
a
recognition,
and
this
is
one
that
we've
received.
G
You
know
for
the
past
several
years.
Our
hr
director,
nicole
albertson,
is
the
one
that
you
know
is
not
just
her,
but
this
recognition
really
does
go
to
her
efforts
that
she's
provided
for
the
city.
American
heart
association
has
defined
best
practices
for
employers
to
use
to
build
a
culture
of
health
for
the
employees
in
the
workplace,
workplace
health,
achievement
index
measures,
the
extent
to
which
company
has
implemented
those
workplace,
health,
best
practices.
G
Companies
recognize
that
the
gold
level
have
achieved
an
index
score
of
175
to
217,
which
is
the
max,
and
I
know
I
read
that
very
quickly,
but
this
is
truly
a
big
deal.
The
fact
that
we
received
this
from
the
american
heart
so
association
repeatedly
really
is
hats
off
to
this
organization,
trying
to
place
that
high
value
on
heart,
health
and
wellness
for
the
employees
and
for
the
organization.
E
Thank
you
very
much.
We
certainly
appreciate
it
and
the
the
only
remarks
that
I
have
are
related
to
things
that
mr
gleason
and
billy
and
others
have
managed
to
make
happen,
and
that
is,
if
you
haven't
seen
our
new
administrative
offices
on
the
fourth
floor
of
the
government.
Center
they've
done
an
outstanding
job
and
it's
a
really
a
wonderful
space
and
not
just
for
the
the
mayor's
office.
I
I
had
when
former
mayor
jesse
smart
came,
and
he
said.
Oh.
C
L
E
So
it
kind
of
does
look
31,
32
years
old,
the
stained
carpeting,
so
the
the
offices,
I
think,
will
be
far
more
functional
for
us.
Clearly
what
we
have
in
city
hall
now
was
designed
when
bloomington
had
about
30,
000
and
change
people,
and
obviously
things
have
changed
since
in
many
different
ways,
but
thank
you,
mr
gleason
billy
and
others
who've
made
this
all
happen.
E
At
this
point.
Mark
alderman
elder
manic
comments.
E
B
Have
sorry
council,
member
matthew
and
council
member
crable
with
their
hands
up.
E
Okay,
thank
you.
Councilmember
matthew
go
ahead
and
then
jeff
thanks.
F
Mayor,
I
just
wanted
to
touch
on
something
that
tim
said.
Real
quick
tour
to
chocolate
has
become
a
really
big
event
for
downtown
bloomington
in
the
last
well
gosh,
it's
probably
been
eight
or
nine
years
it's
been
going
on
and
I
just
want
to
let
everybody
know
it's
not
cancelled.
It's
been
postponed
until
later
in
the
year.
Hopefully,
when
we
can
reopen
everything,
because
it's
become
such
a
big
event
that
it
actually,
I
think
there
was
a
real,
solid
fear
of
it
violating
any
of
the
government
restrictions
for
covid.
F
So,
even
though
a
lot
of
it
happens
outside
there's
still
plenty
of
big
parts
of
it
that
happen
inside
with
the
event
too.
So
the
hope
is
to
put
tour
to
chocolate
back
on
some
point
later
in
this
year,
probably
into
the
early
fall
part
of
the
year
and
downtown
will
still
be
celebrating
just
kind
of
general
valentine's
day.
F
Stuff
with
love
is
in
the
air
on
the
first
friday
of
february,
also
huge,
just
a
huge
shout
out
from
me
to
all
of
the
workers
that
have
been
still
continuing
to
clean
up
tree
branches.
F
Hopefully,
our
weather
today
and
tonight
does
not
add
more
to
the
mix
I
finally
just
managed
to
get
my
yard
picked
up
mostly
and
they're
still
trying
to
pull
all
the
branches
out
of
dimitt's
grove.
So
thank
you
to
all
those,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
that
are
doing
a
lot
of
incredible
work
to
make
this
happen
and
get
us
back
on
track
again.
So
thanks
great.
E
Thank
you,
jamie
councilmember,
cradle.
H
Thank
you
mayor
just
wanted
to
announce
I'm
starting
my
monthly
town
halls.
My
first
will
be
a
week
from
today
february,
first
at
6,
00
p.m,
and
you
can
find
the
invite
on
my
my
aldermatic
facebook
page.
I
wanted
to
also
thank
staff
for
answering
the
questions
I
had
about
the
agenda
so
quickly.
You
know
I
had
a
number
of
questions
about
the
pump
station
planning
study.
H
It's
that
the
cost
has
gone
up
a
couple
of
times,
but
I
think
I
think
you
know,
based
on
the
explanation
I
got.
I
think
it's
it's
necessary
and
then
just
a
suggestion
that
I
had.
H
I
know
we're
going
to
find
out
next
week
how
much
direct
aid
that
the
city
has
provided
from
cdbg
funds,
but
at
some
point
it's
going
to
run
out
and
and
then
we,
I
think,
go
to
the
township
fund,
the
special
township
fund,
and
it
would
be
nice
that
there
was
a
kind
of
a
seamless
transition.
H
You
know
from
one
fund
to
the
other
so
that
you
know
people
can
get
money
for
what
they
need
as
quickly
as
possible.
That's
all
thanks.
Thank.
E
E
Okay,
I'm
looking
for
a
motion
for
have
us
to
go
into
executive
session
for
the
purposes
that
are
presented
for
collective
bargaining
that
is
listed
on
our
our
published
agenda
moved
by
council
member
bolan
right.
Is
that
what
you
meant?
Okay
and
second,
by
council
member
matthew?
Thank
you
and
madam
clerk.
Would
you
call
the
role.
B
Yeah
and
just
to
clarify
it's
collective
bargaining,
section
2c2
of
5,
ilcs,
120.,
councilmember,
matthew,.
F
B
B
B
Yeah
in
order
to
keep
the
recording
separate
so
you'll
go
click,
the
other
link
that
you
have
in
your
email.
It
was
sent
during
the
meeting,
we'll
see
you
there
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
this
one.
Okay,.
