Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
It
was
a
long
weekend
today,
so
no
jokes
and
funny
things
for
me
today,
we're
retired
but
I'm,
starting
already
with
jokes,
so
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
call
the
meeting
to
order
and
ask
everyone
to
stand.
If
you
can
for
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
and
remain
standing
for
a
moment
of
silence.
B
C
A
C
D
A
remote
attend
remote
participation
in
the
meeting
and
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
do
the
roll
call
and
then
we'll
do
that
next.
C
F
C
D
A
Need
a
motion
yeah
to
allow
council
member
Walsh
to
remote
in
because
he's
out
for
work
correctly.
So.
G
H
F
A
Okay,
so
we're
good
to
go
now.
Okay,
so
then
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
public
comment.
I'm
gonna
play.
Do
we
have
public
comment.
D
We
received
no
email
public
comment,
but
we
do
have
one
person
Serena
fish,
who
is
present
to
speak
in
person.
Okay,.
A
Public
comment
is
an
opportunity
for
speakers
to
provide
their
views
and
feedback
to
the
city
council.
It
is
also
an
opportunity
for
the
city
council
to
listen
and
hear
diverse
points
of
view
to
maximize
the
impact
of
public
comment
and
show
respect
for
the
expression
of
all
views.
Speakers
should
maintain
Civility
and
focus
on
City
issues.
A
Speakers
must
identify
themselves
for
the
record
but
are
not
required
to
give
their
address.
Each
speaker
is
given
the
floor
for
three
minutes,
and
the
council
does
not
respond
or
engage
in
debate.
Any
speaker
that
engages
in
threatening
or
disorderly
Behavior
will
be
deemed
out
of
order
and
their
time
seized.
Okay,
some
you
may
proceed.
J
Thank
you
good
evening.
My
name
is
Serena
fish
I'd
like
to
just
do
a
couple
comments
on
one
of
the
items
on
the
agenda
tonight
I've
made
clear
my
opinion
to
my
ward
six
console
person
on
the
tax
so
I'll.
Let
that
go
for
right
now
on.
J
His
consent
agenda
item
d
and
it's
four,
an
application
for
a
supposedly
food
market
to
add
alcohol.
This
is
the
located
right
in
the
middle
of
an
area
where
there
are
a
lot
of
homeless
people.
There
are
a
lot
of
disadvantaged
people.
J
There
are
people
who
go
and
spend
the
night
at
the
Salvation
Army.
There
are
people
come
and
go
living
in
the
garage.
That's
right
there,
it's
also
very
close
abundant
who
does
a
lot
with
disadvantage
or
people
with
problems
and
putting
in
liquor
store
right
there
for
them.
Just
walk
out,
walk,
20,
30,
50
feet,
I,
don't
think
it's
a
good
idea
and
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
requests.
J
However,
we
have
already
downtown
area
full
of
bars
and
at
least
they
also
serve
some
food.
We
have,
but
a
lot
of
the
agencies
that
help
people
are
in
that
area
too.
Well,
I
think
one
is
right
across
the
street.
J
Almost
so
I
don't
think
they
want
to
add
on
to
their
sales
or
with
it
maybe
grow
and
become
a
bigger
grocery
store,
because
that
is
part
of
the
food
desert
and
that's
what
we
need
more
than
more
alcohol
in
that
area,
especially
an
area
which
has
a
large
population
of
people
that
already
have
alcohol
alcohol
related
problems.
Thank
you.
A
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
recognitions
and
appointments.
D
We
have
three
to
recognize.
We
have
Amira
Harris
Bommarito
on
being
selected
as
the
youth
member
for
the
public
safety
and
community
relations
board
and
then
Lauren
Pruder
to
the
Transportation
Commission
and
Tim
Foley.
Sorry,
I'm
moving
a
little
fast
Tim
Foley
to
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
and
I
do
believe
that
Tim
is
present
at
the
meeting.
A
Okay,
that's
it
well,
okay!
Well,
thank
you
very
much
Tim
and
others
for
your
willingness
to
serve
and
I
know
it.
It
takes
time
out
of
your
schedule
and
it's
it's
not
paid
surprise,
but
we
we
definitely
appreciate
the
contribution
that
we
know
that
you
will
make
to
this
very
important
committee.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
So
we're
we're
going
to
it's
a
truth
and
Taxation
hearing
related
to
our
Levy
of
both
the
the
library
and
also
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
I'm.
Gonna
turn
it
over
to
the
city
manager
Gleason
to
provide
some
introductory
remarks
and
and
then
hand
off
to
Director
of
Finance
Scott
rathman.
K
Thank
you,
mayor
and
Council
before
we
open
this
just
some
few
introductory
comments
related
to
what
was
presented
last
week
and
some
of
the
information
I
received
a
fair
amount
of
comments
about.
Why
are
we
wanting
to
capture
the
growth
that
we
have
seen
in
our
property
tax
values
and
its
growth?
Not
only
in
the
number
of
properties
that
we
have
in
the
city
of
Bloomington,
but
it's
also
an
increase
in
value
of
those
properties
that
have
been
reassessed.
K
Not
all
properties
have
been
reassessed,
shift
gears
and
what's
being
presented
to
Council
in
the
community
and
what
ultimately
is
approved
or
not
approved,
respect
that
is
Staff.
But
the
reasoning
behind
the
one
point:
1.4
million
dollar
increase
that
we're
proposing
that
that
gets
split
between
the
two
Public
Safety
pensions,
police
and
fire
is
because
all
of
the
dedicated
revenues
do
not
quite
meet
the
required
amount
to
fund
both
of
those
Pension
funds.
K
In
fact,
with
the
1.4
million
dollar
increase
again
keeping
the
property
tax
rate
flat,
but
capturing
the
growth
again
because
of
the
increased
numbers
of
properties
in
the
increase
in
value
again
of
those
properties
that
have
been
reassessed.
We
still
fall
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
short
and
before
we
go
down
the
pathway.
Thinking
that
Public
Safety
pensions,
a
defined
benefit
pension,
is
something
that
is
a
burden
on
the
communities.
K
It's
not.
This
is
something
that
this
Council
and
previous
Council
have
put
things
in
play
to
try
to
catch
up
statutorily.
The
police
and
fire
Pension
funds
were
created
in
the
early
to
mid
70s,
with
no
funding
requirement
and
in
fact,
they
weren't
funded
in
many
municipalities.
So
what
you're
finding
today
is
a
requirement
to
catch
up
and
we're
about
two-thirds
funded,
which
is
about
65
percent
and
we're
doing
well,
and
it
is
truly
thanks
to
some
of
the
previous
councils
and
definitely
this
Council.
K
So
there
is
definitely
more
to
the
story
that
I
was
asked
to
share
and
that's
what
I'm
doing
tonight
before
I
turn
the
floor
over
to
Finance
director
Scott
rathman
Scott
thanks.
D
E
Thank
you,
city
manager,
mayor
council,
that
pretty
much
sums
it
up.
We
presented.
Let's
go
the
next
slide,
please
the
the
estimate
on
November,
21st
and
and
with
that
we're
proposing
the
1.4
million
dollar
increase,
which
is
over
five
percent
from
the
prior
year.
Truth
and
Taxation
statutes
require
that
we
have
this
public
hearing
related
to
that.
The
final
adoption
will
be
next
week,
which
will
do
a
more
extensive
presentation
like
we
did
on
the
21st.
But
tonight
you
know
the
really.
The
meat
of
the
matter
is
the
1.4
million
dollars.
E
That's
being
proposed
is
being
proposed
to
be
restricted
to
those
Public
Safety
pensions.
We
have
about
10.5
million
dollars
in
restricted
revenues,
currently
8.3
8.2
million.
Excuse
me
in
current
Levy
from
this
current
year,
2.3
million
dollars
in
utility
tax
and
utility
tax
went
into
place
in
2016..
When
that
went
into
place,
we
had
a
little
bit
of
a
surplus
for
a
few
years,
so
we
built
a
Preserve.
In
the
last
couple
of
years.
E
We've
actually
been
utilizing
that
Reserve,
so
there's
been
a
hole
if
you
will
related
to
the
restricted
revenues
and
the
contributions
that
are
required
for
the
pensions
I've
been
commenting
that
on
during
the
budget.
You
know
that
we're
going
to
have
to
address
that
eventually,
and
so
that's
what
we're
doing
here,
proposing
that
we
address
that
with
this
Levy,
so
filling
that
shortfall
and
that
makes
dollars
available
for
other
things
in
the
budget
like
more
more
money
for
roads
Etc.
So
having
said
that
next
slide,
please.
A
Thank
you,
and
at
this
time
we
will
ask
anyone
from
the
public
that
wants
to
speak
to
come
forward.
Individuals
will
be
allowed
to
speak
only
once,
and
we
ask
that
you
keep
your
remarks
to
five
minutes
or
less
so
that
we
can
get
through
everyone
that
desires
to
speak,
and
are
we
going
to
have
that.
D
In
Jacqueline,
before
we
start
yep,
it
is
on
we
raise
your
right
hand
and
then
do
you
swear
to
tell
the
truth.
The
whole
truth
and
nothing
but
the
truth.
I
do
thank
you
and
if
you
could
just
tell
us
your
name
and.
F
While
you
do
this,
the
town
of
normal
is
expected
to
vote
tonight
to
keep
their
Levy
flat.
From
last
year.
Big
pantograph
reported
yesterday
that
the
town
will
be
supplementing
property
taxes
with
other
revenues
to
meet
their
pension
obligations.
The
town
has
also
made
a
promise
to
avoid
collecting
property
taxes
to
pay
off
debt.
F
F
So
I
did
some
research
in
terms
of
vertical
assessments
for
homeowners
throughout
the
city
using
publicly
available
data
from
the
assessor's
office,
because
I
wanted
to
get
an
idea
of
how
many
homes
and
what
areas
are
the
assessments
increasing
significantly
versus
none?
F
And
while
there's
some
Pockets
that
are
have
like
little
increases
in
eavs
I
found
like
a
significant
number
of
properties
throughout
the
city
that
are
increasing
their
eabs
I
I
calculated
estimated
property
tax
amounts
using
available
proposed
levies
and
estimated
tax
rates
that
were
publicly
available
and
assumed
fixed
rates
for
the
other.
Taxing
bodies,
leaving
the
rate
flat
for
those
leaving
the
tax
rate
flat,
will
result
in
a
in
significant
taxi
increases.
F
Based
on
your
pre-vote.
Here
are
the
estimated
property
tax
increases
for
the
city
and
Library
combined
the
you
have
voted
for
yourself,
assuming
all
other
taxing
bodies
approve
their
proposed
levies.
Trustee
Crumpler
voted
for
126
dollar
increase
towards
his
expected
total
property
tax
increase
of
655
dollars.
F
These
council
members
also
voted
to
increase
the
mayor's
property
taxes
by
ninety
dollars
towards
his
expected
480
increase.
These
are
the
type
of
property
tax
increases
that
your
neighbors
and
residents
all
around
Bloomington
should
expect
just
because
they're
equalized
assessed
values
have
increased
so
significantly
due
to
Market
forces
beyond
their
control.
I
personally
am
expecting
a
total
six
hundred
and
twenty
dollar
tax
increase,
with
115
of
that
increase
going
to
the
city
and
Library.
F
During
this
time
of
crushing
inflation,
would
you
like
to
compound
that
with
significantly
higher
property
taxes,
as
you
decide
how
to
vote
for
these
levies,
I'd
like
for
you
to
ask
yourself
if
you
could
admit
to
your
constituents
just
how
much
of
their
property
tax
increase
you
voted
for
a
vote
of
no
next
week,
will
enable
you
to
be
able
to
say
none.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
D
L
L
Generally,
that's
considered
to
be
used
when
you've
got
somebody
in
taking
care
of
a
trust
fund
or
some
such
that
you
don't
abscond
with
bonds.
L
L
L
And
that
kind
of
goes
along
with
what
we
were
told
last
week,
that
oh,
we
can't
be
using
these
surplus
funds
for
operational
expenses.
L
Well,
why
can't
you
you
can
do
anything
you
please
you've
proven
it
Diamond
again,
you
pass
that
not
you!
The
council
pass
the
half
percent
tax
increase
the
number
of
years
ago
for
a
specific
purpose
of
plugging
the
Gap
in
the
structural
deficit,
not
to
plowed
into
your
Surplus,
which
has
become
a
slush
fund.
L
L
L
D
All
right
last
up
for
this
public
hearing,
we
have
Clayton
Madison.
D
M
M
Nobody
likes
taxes,
I,
don't
like
taxes,
I,
don't
want
to
pay
more
taxes,
but
in
this
issue
we
have
to
understand
that
we
need
to
take
care
of
our
responsibilities
and
our
obligations
now
so
we're
not
kicking
things
down
on
the
road
and
burdening
our
future
I
think
our
very
good
Financial
department
has
done
a
great
job
along
with
our
city
manager
and
explaining
everything
and
putting
it
out
to
the
public
and
I.
Do
appreciate
city
manager
Gleason's
comments
earlier
about
the
pensions.
M
The
reason
that
I
am
standing
here
today,
though,
is
that
this
tax
levy
increase
does
take
in
consideration
the
pensions
of
police
and
fire.
Obviously,
I
just
stated
that
I
am
a
firefighter,
so
that
does
involve
us.
M
What
I
would
like
you
to
to
remember
is
that
this
Council
has
had
some
Forward
Thinking
in
the
past.
Some
very
Innovative
thinking
with
the
utility
tax
live
that
they
implemented
prior,
that
won
the
city,
some
awards
and
some
recognition
for
their
their
Forward
Thinking
and
putting
that
money
towards
the
pensions,
because
there
is
a
2040
deadline
for
the
funding
that
has
to
be
met.
M
So
when
that
taxes
is
now
by
my
understanding
starting
to
dry
up,
it's
not
able
to
sustain
as
it
once
was,
and
that's
why
we're
looking
at
this
property
tax
levy
and
that
1.4
million
for
police
and
fire
I
would
send
that
friendly
reminder
that
if
we
do
not
meet
our
obligations
to
the
Pension
funds,
the
double
A
Plus
rating
that
we
have
can
be
negatively
affected
and
that
will
hurt
as
far
as
the
rates
that
the
city
can
get
and
the
financial
impact
towards
the
city.
M
Also,
if
the
financial
obligations
to
the
Pension
funds
are
not
met
and
it's
not
funded
appropriately,
then
our
state
funding
could
be
negatively
affected,
as
those
monies
could
be
siphoned
off
to
make
sure
that
our
funding
is
appropriate
to
the
the
Pension
funds.
So
those
are
two
negative
conversations
that
we
do
not
want.
M
No,
not
we
don't
want
it.
The
citizens
don't
want
that.
That's
going
to
hurt
us
not
only
now,
but
it
will
hurt
us
in
the
future
and
that's
only
going
to
negatively
impact
people's
pocketbooks
now
and
in
the
future,
and
we
do
not
want
that
either.
So
I
would
highly
recommend
going
with
the
recommended
stations
of
our
city
manager
and
our
our
very
good
financial
department.
I.
M
Think
they've
laid
this
out
very
well
again,
to
be
frank,
taxes
suck
and
nobody
wants
to
pay
them,
but
we
do
have
to
make
sure
that
we
are
meeting
our
responsibilities
and
and
our
obligations.
So
that's
pretty
much
all
I
have
to
say
that's
two
minutes
left
and
I'm
gonna
seed
that
to
the
floor.
Thank.
A
D
We
have
no
one
else
registered
to
speak,
but
Jeff
had
asked
that
we
go
ahead
and
ask
if
anyone
else
was
here
that
didn't
get
to
register
sure.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
the
tax
levy
for
the
city
will
be
well
I'm.
Let
me
just
first
State
the
time
6
30,
let's
say
29.
It
looks
like
so
we're
going
to
close
this
hearing
at
6,
30,
6,
29,
sorry
and
the
tax
levy
for
the
city
will
be
an
action
item
on
the
agenda
for
December
12th.
G
I
just
have
one
brief
comment:
I
really
appreciate
and
fully
support
the
need
to
fully
fund
our
Public
Safety
pensions.
That's
incredibly
important
to
me.
The
the
caveat
to
that
is.
The
city
has
annually
now
an
additional
in
excess
of
4
million
in
Revenue.
That
could
be
used
for
that.
That
is
not
being
used
for
that.
That
is
newly
created
Revenue
sources
coming
from
Cannabis
and
coming
from
the
state
decision
to
tax
online
purchases.
G
N
Thank
you
mayor.
Excuse
me
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
thank
our
firefighters
for
coming
this
evening.
You.
N
And
I
just
want
to
say
our
police
officers
and
our
firefighters
put
their
lives
on
the
line
every
day
for
this
community.
You
know
the
pension
systems
are,
are
vital,
they're
an
obligation,
a
commitment,
and
we
must
invest
in
these
pension
systems
to
make
sure
that
they're
supported.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
coming
to
Seton.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
Walsh
I
want
to
make
sure
I
didn't
forget
him.
A
Thank
you
so
now
we're
going
to
move
on
to
a
truth
in
taxation,
public
hearing
for
the
Bloomington
Public,
Library
and
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
call
to
order
the
hearing
at
6,
31,
let's
say
and
again,
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
a
city
manager
Gleason.
Who
will
then
turn
it
over
to
director
Jeannie
Hamilton.
K
Thank
you
mayor
and
Council,
very
brief
opening
comments.
Jeannie
Hamilton
did
an
excellent
job
last
week.
I
think
Scott
Rathbun
might
have
had
some
comments
as
well,
but
this
is
a
property
tax
levy
not
dissimilar
to
the
one
that
we
just
did
here
in
the
truth
and
Taxation
hearing
for
the
city's
portion.
K
Just
a
reminder
to
the
community
that
when
we
made
the
decision
to
support
the
expansion
and
the
updating
of
the
library
expansion,
we
knew
that
when
we
went
to
bond
that
the
rates
were
not
set,
and
then
when
we
did
execute
the
bond,
it
was
a
little
bit
higher
than
we
had
expected.
Another
portion
of
this
increase
that
Genie
has
shared
with
us,
and
we
knew
this
as
a
council
that
the
larger
offering
the
expanded
offering
at
the
library
was
also
going
to
increase
the
operating
costs.
K
O
So,
as
Scott
mentioned
earlier,
a
state
statute
does
require
truth
and
Taxation.
Hearing
for
aggregate
Levy
increases
over
five
percent
and
the
Bloomington
Public
Library
Levy
is
increasing
by
6.86
percent.
This
results
in
no
increase
to
the
estimated
tax
rate
next
slide,
as
mentioned
by
Tim
and
in
previous
Council
meetings
in
March
of
2022,
the
council
approved
a
14.2
million
dollar
Bond
of
funding
the
library,
expansion
and
renovation,
as
you
can
tell
March,
was
after
last
year's
Levy,
so
we
weren't
sure
what
the
rates
were
going
to
be
and
and
so
our
estimate.
O
The
final
debt
service
is
higher,
it's
1.085
million
dollars,
and
so
this
re
it
requires
an
increase
in
the
levy
of
235
000
for
2022,
and
then
the
other
portion
of
the
levy
request
is
enabling
the
library
to
capture
167,
815,
I'm,
sorry,
167
815
in
Revenue
growth
to
help
cover
Rising
costs,
including
inflation
and
the
library,
does
rely
primarily
on
the
tax
levy
as
its
source
of
funding
next
slide.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
Gene.
A
D
F
I'm
Jackie
buyer
again
going
into
the
truth
and
Taxation
hearing
on
December
6
2021,
as
presented
by
Mr
Rathbun.
The
original
Library
Expansion
Project
plan
prior
to
the
state
Grant
was
22.8
million
dollar
budget
to
be
funded
with
a
17
million
dollar
Bond,
funded
by
the
taxpayers
for
20
years
at
an
estimated
1.83
interest
rate
for
an
annual
Levy
of
1.1
million
per
year.
Referring
back
to
the
BPL
board
meeting
minutes
from
September
21st
2022
of
the
two
Bond
options,
there
was
a
15
million
and
a
17
million
Bond
option.
F
F
At
that
same
truth,
in
taxation,
hearing
Miss
Hamilton
and
Mr
Rathbun
testified
that
half
of
the
grant
money,
2.8
million,
would
be
used
to
reduce
the
bond
amount
to
14.2
million.
Thus
revising
the
levy
to
850
000
per
year.
The
other
half
2.8
million
was
going
to
be
used
to
cover
construction
cost
inflation,
which
was
unknown
and
some
of
the
5
million
dollars
for
items
that
were
previously
deemed
as
not
necessary.
There
was
no
set
amount
that
was
going
to
reinstate
the
cuts
for
the
unnecessary
amenities
versus
set
aside
for
inflation.
F
F
But
then
at
the
March
28
2022
city
council
meeting
regular
agenda
item
9d.
It
was
shared
that
the
BPL
Board
of
Trustees
approved
a
25.3
million
dollar
expansion
and
renovation
of
its
facilities
on
March
15
2022.
This
amount
is
higher
than
what
was
presented
during
the
truth
and
Taxation
hearing.
F
F
When
discussing
about
the
library
Levy
trustee
Crumpler
made
a
comment
about
the
library
contributing
over
five
million
dollars
of
their
own
savings,
which
was
part
of
his
reasoning
for
voting
for
the
library
based
on
the
BPL
financial
statement.
As
of
October
31st
2022,
the
library's
Financial
contribution
is
only
four
million
4.1
million
dollars.
I
think
the
library
has
room
to
reduce
costs,
to
eliminate
the
need
for
the
increase
of
the
levy
this
year
and
I'm
not
sure
why
the
numbers
are
are
so
different.
A
A
Anybody
else,
okay
and
with
that
said,
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda
with
the
exception
item
8D.
H
Mayor
I
would
move
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
except
for
the
item.
Eight.
A
Okay,
okay,
so
move
by
council
member
Bravo
and
then
seconded
by
council
member
Bolin,
and
we
have
a
link
right.
Thank
you.
D
P
Pulling
this
from
the
consent
ing
it
out
for
discussion,
because
there's
been
multiple
people
around
this
area.
This
this
particular
place
is
in
the
downtown
right
outside
of
the
Buckle
there
it's
right
across
from
one
of
the
garages,
and
so
there
is
multiple
people
in
this
neighborhood
and
a
neighboring
business.
That
does
not
want
to
see
this
happen.
They
are
concerned
about
what
we
are
seeing
here
is
there's
no
business
plan
for
this
increase
for
this
business.
There's
no
ex
added
documentation
for
why
they
need
to
do
this.
P
That's
kind
of
how
worse
that,
we're
being
reported
back
to
me
in
addition
to
that
the
I
was
reading
through
some
of
the
minutes
from
The
Liquor
Commission
and
this
particular
business
had
at
The
Liquor
Commission
said
that
they
weren't
responsible
for
the
actions
of
other
people,
because
apparently
the
people
that
are
coming
into
this
location
and
purchasing
the
beer
and
wine
are
consuming
it
in
the
actual
neighborhood
and
in
the
adjacent
business,
and
so
there's
some
discretion
there.
P
That
says,
you
know
that
there
might
be
some
issues
I'm
reading
through
those
minutes,
and
it
literally
looked
to
me
by
the
time
I
came
to
all
the
conclusions
of
the
different
people.
I
talked
to
that
all
they're
really
doing
is
trying
to
change
the
beer
and
wine
sales
to
hard
alcohol
sales
to
the
same
clientele.
They're.
Q
P
Trying
to
increase
their
clientele
or
reach
out
to
a
different
clientele,
they're,
just
changing
what
they're
selling
to
an
already
difficult
population
and
I
and
I,
don't
know
how
to
use
my
phrase,
but
this
is
basically
a
homeless
population,
that's
going
in
here
and
buying
beer
and
wine
and
then
taking
it
and
then
consuming
it,
and
so
now
we're
going
to
change
what
we're
selling
for
them
from
beer
and
wine
to
hard
alcohol.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
this
is
not
an
application
that
is
the
betterment
of
the
community,
the
betterment
of
the
city.
P
I,
don't
see
it
lining
up
that
way.
I
see
this
as
an
actual
downgrade
and
because
of
that
I'm
not
going
to
be
supporting
this
application,
and
so
I
I
am
just
very
much
against
you
know,
adding
more
problems
into
a
situation.
That's
not
been
resolved
if
they
had
come
with
a
resolution
and
said
hey,
we've
resolved
our
problems
with
our
neighbors
we've
resolved
our
problem
with
our
neighboring
business.
P
I
might
have
a
different
attitude,
but
there's
no
resolution
here
all
there
is
is:
let
me
sell
a
different
type
of
alcohol
to
the
same
people
that
are
already
creating
a
problem
and
I'm
not
here
to
create
more
problems.
I'm
here
to
represent
people,
and
this
neighborhood
and
Community
has
said
they
don't
want
this
going
on
anymore.
C
A
Second,
that
okay,
see
you
in
a
second
discussion
vote
Council.
A
I
I
could
please
I'm
going
through
and
I'm
looking
at
the
items
on
the
agenda
and
on
their
floor
plan
for
this
establishment.
They
have
game
room,
but
they
are
not
requesting.
When
you
go
through
the
application,
it
says
that
they
are
not
requesting
a
gaming
license,
and
that
confuses
me.
Why
would
they
have
on
their
floor
plan
gaming
if
they're
not
requesting
a
gaming
license.
D
I
I
can
just
state
that
they
have
not
applied
for
a
video
gaming
license
with
us.
They're
not
wait
listed
for
a
video
gaming
license
and
they
already
have
an
existing
liquor
license,
so
they
would
qualify
to
apply
to
be
wait
listed.
Should
they
want
to
so
this
change
wouldn't
make
a
difference
with
that.
But,
as
you
said,
mayor
I'm
not
sure
why
it
says
that
on
their
their
plan
it
might
be
some
long-term
planning,
perhaps
teamwork,
cool.
D
The
other
comment
that
I
would
make
I
I
sat
for
the
First
Liquor
Commission
that
we
heard
from
them
and
the
opposing
business,
which
is
the
cleaners
next
door,
and
one
of
the
reasons
that
the
meeting
was
postponed
was
so
that
the
two
of
them
could
can
could
connect
and
see.
If
there
was
you
know,
some
of
the
concerns
could
be
set
aside
Amanda.
So
that's
one
of
my
Deputy
clerk
sat
for
the
second
meeting,
which
was
on
November
8th
and
the
minutes
do
reflect
that.
D
Mr
Patel
testified
that,
prior
to
the
meeting
he
had
received
a
text
message
saying
that
they
were
that
the
opposing
business
neighboring
business
was
withdrawing
their
objection.
Now
that
is
Mr
Patel's
testimony
and
the
other
business
owner
had
did
not
appear.
That
said,
they
were
at
the
first
meeting
and
were
aware
of
when
the
the
meeting
would
happen
again
so
for
what
it's
worth.
C
H
Sure
I
just
want
to
clarify
what
councilmember
Waltz
said,
so
I
think
that
that
maps
on
page,
51
and
I
think
it's
in
the
wrong
place,
because
it
has
hotel
entrance
and
a
front
desk
along
with
with
the
game
room.
So
I
looked
at
that
and
that
I
was
like.
What's
that
and
then
I
thought
well,
maybe
this
should
have
been
with
the
Hawthorne
yeah.
A
H
Know
application
and
then
I
was
going
to
ask
something
else
here.
H
P
Yes,
there's
several
bars
just
literally
less
than
a
block
away
that
that
also
have
the
all
package
that
they
could
sell
that
as
well.
P
Too
much
yeah
and
then
they
and
actually
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
live
in
this
neighborhood.
That
are
not
happy
about
the
fact
that
people
are
buying
the
alcohol
here
and
then
they
are
sitting
they
go
around
from
the
laundromat
and
they're
sitting
here
on
the
premises
and
they're
actually
consuming
the
alcohol
in
this
neighborhood,
and
so
the
people
that
live
there
are
not
real
happy
about
it.
H
R
I,
if
I
could
just
make
a
couple
statements
about
the
process
and
the
process
that
occurred
at
The,
Liquor,
Commission
and
the
process
in
in
voting
on
it,
or
you
know
things
that
could
be
considered
with
respect
to
the
Liquor
Commission
I
was
at
both
of
those
meetings
and
there
were.
R
There
was
the
applicant.
There
was
the
Next
Door
business
and
perhaps
one
other
person
at
the
first
hearing
at
the
second
hearing
I
believe
there
was
just
the
applicant
I
know
the
other
business
person
didn't
show
up
and
I
don't
believe
there
was
anyone
else.
There
may
have
been
one.
R
So
you
know
please
refer
to
the
minutes
because
it's
been
a
month
or
two
since
these
things
occurred
so
I
wouldn't
say
this
is
exactly
gospel
but
I'm
just
giving
an
idea
that
there
wasn't
a
lot
like
Alderman
crabill,
just
asked
about
other
places
nearby.
There
wasn't
a
lot
of
feedback
from
the
neighborhood
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
reasons
may
have
been.
There
were
28
notices
sent,
but
they
were
sent
to
adjacent
businesses,
because
this
was
an
existing
business.
R
I
just
wanted
to
point
out,
and
of
course
you
know
you
have
the
option
to
deny
it
on
the
basis.
There's
a
motion
saying
it
wasn't
the
city's
best
interest
or
that
it's
not
in
the
cities
or
communities
best
interests.
My
understanding
is
the
finding
supporting
the
emotion,
two
other
options.
R
Obviously
the
Other,
Extreme
or
not
I,
don't
know
if
I'd
say
extreme,
but
the
other
one
is
to
say
is
to
vote
in
favor
of
it
that
you
know,
that's
not
what's
on
the
table
at
this
point,
let's
say
a
third
option
may
be
to
send
it
back
with
a
wider
notice,
given
perhaps
the
500
foot
notice
that
would
allow
for
the
neighbors
to
have
direct
input
rather
than
you
know.
R
Obviously
they
have
a
representative
here
and
that's
you
know,
that's
one
way
that
the
Council
can
proceed,
but
another
may
be
descended
back
and
and
allow
for
the
neighborhood
and
the
applicant
to
have
additional
input
that
could
then
form
the
basis
for
a
record,
so
I
just
wanted
to
review
there,
the
options
and
a
little
bit
about
about
what
the
what
the
commission
records
detail
at
this
point.
A
A
The
previous,
the
the
the
the
owner
of
the
business
next
door
was
there
and
was
complementary
of
this
particular
Mr,
Patel
and
and
how
he
runs
his
business,
and
that's
why,
after
the
first
the
the
first
meeting
there
was
an
agreement
to
for
them
to
get
together
and
and
discuss
the
the
issue
that
he
was
bringing
up.
One
of
the
things
that
I
do
remember.
We
we
asked
him,
you
know
it.
A
He
could
not
tie
some
of
those
issues
to
whatever
issues
he
was
experiencing,
tied
them
to
people
purchasing
alcohol
and
Mr
Patel's.
You
know
establishment
so,
and
you
know
we,
you
know.
As
a
as
a
commission,
we
also
looked
at
the
fact
that
Mr
Patel
was
owner
of
franzetti's
right
and
had
been
a
responsible
owner
and
also
wanted
to
to.
A
Chance
to
to
to
to
to
show
that
you
know
this,
you
know
one
the
businesses
could
co-exist
and
and
and
that
also
that
he'll
continue
to
run
a
a
good
business.
Let's
say
I
think.
A
Yeah,
those
are
the
the
things
that
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we're
also
stated,
and
obviously
it's
the
it's
the
council's
prerogative.
We
do
have
a
a
motion
on
the
table
and
I
think
and
this
we
have
other
council
member
Becker.
S
So
one
comment
on:
on
the
surface:
we
had
one
objection
that
was
formally
given
in
a
meeting.
We
have
not
formally
seen
the
removal
of
that
objection
and
no
no
offense
to
the
person
who
got
the
text
right,
but
we
haven't
formally
seen
that,
based
on
everything
else,
I'm
hearing
until
I
formally
see
that
I
could
not
vote
for
this.
If
the
the
other
business
owner
on
the
record
said
yeah,
my
objections
are
gone.
S
G
There
was
a
second
piece
also
which
was
a
revision
of
the
current
construct
of
the
license
to
allow
for
single
service
single
serve
purchases.
So
you
can
literally
go
in
based
on
what's
being
proposed
and
buy
one
bottle
of
alcohol
and
walk
right
out
and
drink
it
like
you're
buying
a
Coca-Cola
I
found
that
to
be
an
interesting
change
as
well
and
I.
Think
it
supports
some
of
the
concerns
that
council
member
Urban
has
brought
to
the
table
here.
B
Yeah,
it
could
be
sent
back
to
the
Liquor
Commission
for
individuals
to
come
in,
but
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone.
The
liquor
Commissioners
at
four
o'clock
and
most
individuals
are
at
work
at
that
time.
So
it's
very
difficult
to
get
to
the
to
the
meeting.
P
My
motion
is
to.
A
Okay,
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
item
8A
on
the
agenda;
regular
agenda,
a
consideration,
an
action
on
an
ordinance
approving
Economic
Development
and
socioeconomic
Grant
programs
in
furtherance
of
the
American
Rescue
plan
act,
as
requested
by
the
administration
department
and
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
city
manager.
Gleason
for
introductory
remarks,.
K
Thank
you,
mayor
and
Council
before
I
turn
the
floor
over
to
the
economic
community
development
director,
Melissa
Hahn
I
just
want
to
remind
the
community
that
staff
were
directed
to
work
on
this
piece.
We
made
a
presentation
I
believe
it
was
at
the
September
or
October
Committee
of
the
whole,
and
this
is
the
turnaround
for
that.
Just
a
reminder
also
to
the
community.
K
We
established
three
buckets
that
are
13.4
million
dollars
was
placed
into
with
some
of
it
spent
already
some
of
it
obligated
and
many
of
the
funds
are
yet
to
be
spent,
but
one
bucket
was
infrastructure.
Nine
million
dollars
was
pledged
to
this
amount,
and
then
a
socioeconomic
bucket
was
created
in
an
economic
development.
Bucket
was
created
each
with
2.2
million
dollars
in
each
one,
which
equals
the
Thirteen
four
thirteen
point:
four
million
dollars
that
we
received
in
total
on
ARP
funds.
K
Just
a
reminder,
even
though
we
at
this
level
have
placed
this
into
what
we
are
calling
buckets
just
for
a
conversation
with
the
community
and
Council
as
they
direct
the
the
spending
of
these
funds.
We
still
on
every
single
expenditure
have
to
follow
the
treasury
guidelines.
So,
while
maybe
some
of
the
language
that
we're
using
buckets
infrastructure,
socioeconomic
or
Economic,
Development
may
not
align,
but
the
with
the
language
and
the
treasury
documents,
the
spending
itself
and
the
documentation
and
the
accountability,
definitely
will
also
one
more
thing
regarding
this.
K
You
know
this
was
a
communication
to
the
community,
a
pledge,
an
idea
of
how
these
funds
were
going
to
be
used
if
Council
during
this
open
Period
that
we
can
dedicate
These
funds
and
use
these
funds
through
expenditure,
I
believe
in
2026.
Council
can
shift
these.
If
Council
had
the
strong
desire
that
you
know
a
million
dollars
in
each
of
the
socioeconomic
and
economic
development,
funds
should
be
applied
to
infrastructure,
so
raising
that
9
million
to
11
million
total.
In
that
example,
that's
something
that's
well
within
the
right
of
this
Council.
K
T
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
council
and
city
manager.
As
the
city
manager
explained,
what
we've
got
before
you
tonight
is
an
ordinance
outlining
the
programs
that
we
presented
I
believe
back
on
September
26th.
Not
much
has
changed
from
that,
but
just
wanted
to
go
back
through
kind
of
the
different
program
guidelines
and
offer
that
up
for
any
discussion
next
slide,
please
so
the
first
one
that
I'm
going
to
run
through
is
the
economic
development
program
with
the
the
funding
remaining
the
maximum
funding,
for
this
will
be
the
1.4
million.
T
T
All
of
the
recipients
must
qualify
as
a
small
business
per
section,
three
of
the
small
business
act
and
that's
part
of
the
treasury
guidelines
that
we
would
follow.
The
grants
would
be
limited
to
a
maximum
amount
of
forty
five
thousand
dollars
per
recipient.
The
recipients
would
have
to
show
documentation
as
to
what
Rehabilitation
would
occur,
so
they
would
have
to
verify.
T
You
know
the
amount
that
they're
applying
for
and
and
what
those
expenses
would
be,
the
rehabilitation
grants
can
be
utilized
for
rehabilitation
of
commercial
properties
and
they
would
have
to
be
located
within
a
qualified
census
tract.
So
that's
what
per
the
treasury
makes
them
disproportionately
impacted
is
those
that
are
that
fall
within
those
qualified
census
tracts.
T
The
grants
will
be
awarded
on
a
first-come,
first-served
basis
until
all
of
the
funds
are
expended
and,
as
I
mentioned,
the
maximum
available
left
for
these
grants
would
be
the
1.4
outline
there
on
the
slide.
A
next
slide,
please,
the
next
program
would
be
one
of
the
socioeconomic
we've
taken
that
and
divided
it
into
two
programs.
So
the
first
would
be
the
assistance
to
non-profits.
Each
non-profit
Grant
would
be
limited
to
150,
000
or
less
per
recipient.
T
T
T
Senior
Services
food
services,
Health
Services,
focusing
on
disparities,
Mental,
Health,
Services
and,
as
I
mentioned,
Workforce
Development
and
job
training
activities,
the
non-profit
grants
would
be
awarded
to
eligible
applicants
once
again
on
a
first-come,
first-served
basis
until
those
funds
are
expended.
The
maximum
funds
available
would
be
the
1
million
21
731
for
this
program.
As
I
said,
we've
taken
this
and
divided
it
into
the
assistance
to
non-profits
and
then
also
for
affordable
housing.
So
next
slide,
please.
T
So
the
third
and
final
program
would
be
the
socioeconomic
helping
with
affordable
housing.
Rehabilitation
grants
these
housing
grants
would
be
limited
to
45,
000
or
less
per
recipient.
Once
again,
the
recipient
would
have
to
show
what
expenditures
they
were
applying
for.
So
it
may
not
come
up
to
be
forty
five
thousand
for
each
recipient.
This
is
very
close
to
what
we
do
for
other
cdbg
and
Ida.
Rehabilitation
programs
apologize
I'm
just
getting
over
an
illness,
though
losing
my
voice.
T
A
little
eligible
recipients
must
have
an
annual
income
at
or
below
the
80
percent
area,
median
income
and
that's
standard
that
we
follow
as
well
with
our
cdbg
programs.
The
housing
grants
must
be
used
for
single-family,
home
or
rental
unit
within
the
Regeneration
area
is
defined
in
the
comprehensive
plan
with
those
this
would
allow
landlords
to
apply
or
individuals
could
apply,
but
they
would
have
to.
The
landlord
would
also
have
to
be
part
of
that
application
process.
So
this
could
help
as
well
providing
some
increased,
affordable
housing
in
the
rental
units
as
well.
T
Housing
grants
would
be
awarded
to
eligible
applicants
on
a
first-come,
first-served
basis
or
through
a
lottery
system.
So
that's
something
that
we're
considering
with
this
program
and
that
will
be
outlined
later
as
we
develop
the
required
policies
and
procedures
for
each
of
the
program.
The
maximum
fund
award
for
this
would
be
the
once
again
the
1
million
21,
791
or
731,
and
just
one
item
I
wanted
to
highlight
from
the
memo.
T
The
memo
did
state
that
the
programs
would
open
the
first
quarter
of
2023
and
just
to
correct
that
right
now,
we're
looking
at
programs
opening
and
being
available
in
the
second
quarter
of
2023,
probably
right
around
May
1st.
So
this
will
allow
time
for
staff
to
develop
the
applications,
develop
all
necessary
policies
and
procedures
and
Reporting
requirements
as
outlined
by
the
treasury.
It
would
also
allow
time
to
market
the
programs
to
those
that
would
fall
within
those
areas,
so
we
could
actually
go
in
and
really
Target
those
homeowners
within
the
Regeneration
area.
A
Okay,
we
have
councilman
Ward
and
councilman
Urban
and
Bolin.
Q
Thank
you
mayor
just
two
questions:
can
you
shed
a
little
bit
of
light
on
how
staff
came
to
those
amounts
in
terms
of
the
the
ceilings
on
the
the
grants
themselves.
T
Sure
so,
for
the
for
the
small
business
Rehabilitation
grants,
there
are
some
different
reporting
guidelines
once
it's
over
a
certain
amount,
as
well
as
with
the
we
don't
do
commercial
Rehabilitation
with
the
cdbg
programs
right
now.
It's
all
single
family
kind
of
Falls
within
that
45
000.
So
we
were
kind
of
keeping
in
line
with
the
programs
that
we
currently
offer
as
well
as
not
having
any
additional.
T
You
know
trying
to
provide
totals
with
under
that
fifty
thousand
for
the
Small
Business
Development
grants,
as
well
as
looking
at
what
we
felt
like,
would
have
the
greatest
impact
and
helping
the
largest
number
of
small
businesses
for
the
non-profit.
The
150
was
in
line
with
what
we
had
previously
awarded,
as
well
as
once
again
just
trying
to
provide
a
substantial
amount
of
funding,
but
then
also
hoping
to
hit
as
many
different
non-profits
as
possible
within
the
community.
T
There
are
a
lot
of
programs
that
you
know
may
not
require
the
full
150,
but
that
150
could
also
provide
a
substantial
impact
in
you
know,
being
able
to
either
get.
You
know
things
that
they
need
in
order
to
keep
their
programs
up
and
running
and
then
once
again
with
the
the
rehabilitation
the
45
is,
is
standard
kind
of
in
line
with
what
we
do
right
now
for
our
other
housing,
Rehabilitation
programs.
Q
And
then
one
other
question:
can
the
housing
Rehabilitation
grants
be
used,
retroactively
yeah
that
says
it's
currently
written
or
is
that?
Is
there
some
rule
that
says
that
that
can't
happen.
Q
So
so,
until
the
city
application
process
is
underway
and
so
forth,
any
any
work
that
anybody
does
on
their
house
it
they
can't,
they
can't
have
any
any
assistance
with
that.
T
They
could
apply
for
our
other
programs,
I
mean
we
do
have
cdbg
and
Ida,
and
we've
currently
got
the
lead
program
as
well.
So
I
mean
there
are
other
programs.
I
would
definitely
tell
anybody.
That's
currently
in
need
to
definitely
reach
out
to
staff
to
go
on
the
city's
website.
Community
enhancement,
page
office
of
Grants
Administration
outlines
what
programs
we
have
what's
available.
What
applications
are
currently
open,
but
if
they
have
any
questions
they
can
definitely
reach
out
to
staff
as
well.
So
thank.
Q
P
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
all
of
your
hard
work
on
this
on
the
third
slide
and
I
believe
you
had
mentioned
that
landlords
would
be
able
to
apply
for
this
Rehabilitation
for
their
housing.
However,
most
of
the
landlords
aren't
going
to
be
within
that
80
Ami.
It.
P
B
I
have
lots
of
questions
all
right.
This
is
a
lot
of
work
and
I
really
appreciate.
What's
been
done,
I
I
guess
one.
The
first
question
I
have
is
how
well
did
I
miss
something
on
how
we
went
from
three
buckets
to
now.
Four
buckets
did
I
miss
that
discussion.
T
Our
goal
was
kind
of
after
Council
discussion
at
The,
Retreat,
and
knowing
that
there
was
a
desire
to
kind
of
focus
on
that
affordable
housing
piece
the
need
for
housing,
we
decided
to
then
take
the
socioeconomic
and
split
doing
partly
to
assist
non-profits,
but
then
also
still
meeting
that
housing
need.
Okay,.
B
B
This
does
sound
a
lot
like
a
rust
Grant
with
the
facades
and
all
that
type
of
thing
is
I
would
like
to
see
restrictions
similar
to
the
kind
of
restrictions
so
that
go
along
with
cbgd
and
Russ
grants,
and
specifically
a
small
business
that
may
have
received
City
incentives
would
not
necessarily
be
qualified
if
they've
received
rough's
grants,
but
in
the
last
you
know,
whatever
the
criteria
is
for
Ross
Grant
one
year
two
year
delay
and
let's
see.
B
Oh
yeah,
we
had
a
just.
We
had
some
discussion
about
sort
of
keeping
track
and
having
reports
given,
so
that
if
we
do
need
to
change
direction
for
funding,
if
that
kind
of
come
later,
or
do
you
think
that
that's
probably
be
put
into
here,
I'd
like
to
see
so.
B
And
I
do
appreciate
that
your
your
approach
is
to
get
as
many
non-profits
on
board
or
benefit
from
this,
because
there's
a
half
a
dozen
on
the
behavioral
health
coordinating
Council
YWCA,
you
know
West
Western,
Avenue
everybody's
come
asking
for
money,
so
I
appreciate
that
you've
you've
approached
it
that
way,
and
then,
with
the
housing
Grant
again
it
kind
of
duplicates
the
seat.
B
Cdbg
and
I
was
would
like
to
see
some
restrictions
put
around
that
that
if
they
have
received
cbdg
or
in
in
the
last
year
or
two
years,
whatever
the
parameters
are
for
that
granting
that
that
also
be
considered.
When
you
know
when
someone
applies.
B
And
I
guess:
I
also
had
the
question.
I
do
understand
that
affordable
housing
would
fall
into
socioeconomic,
but
could
it
also
fall
into
Economic
Development
and
in
the
sense
that
you
need
workers
to
drive
the
economy
and
they
need
to
have
a
place
to
live.
T
Generally
with
the
socioeconomic,
because
this
would
be
a
benefit
to
the
homeowner
or
the
property
owner-
it's
it's
generally,
not
within
that
the
economic
development
piece,
necessarily
because
it's
it
will
most
likely
be
a
lot
of
single
family.
You
know
our
goal
is
to
help
people
stay,
maintain
you
know
kind
of
that
Aging
in
place.
If
we
have,
you
know,
people
who
maybe
are
are
in
a
situation
where
they
just
need
some
adjustments,
modifications
made
to
their
home.
T
You
know,
maybe
some
handrails,
maybe
some
bathroom
upgrades,
so
that
they
can
age
in
place
in
their
home.
We
want
to
be
able
to
assist
with
that.
You
know
if
we
just
have
some
individuals
who
are,
you
know,
fall
within
those
income
brackets
that
you
know
are
needing
some
some
improvements
in
order
for
their
home
to
be
to
be
livable.
We
want
to
help
make
those
improvements.
B
T
N
Thank
you,
mayor,
hi
Melissa,
thank
you
for
your
presentation
this
evening
and
again
all
your
work
on
this.
It's
my
understanding
that
that
in
program
two
and
the
socioeconomic
category
that
150
000
ceiling
was
based
on
what
we
awarded
for
the
mobile
health
unit.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
yeah?
Okay,
you
know
I
guess
the
way
I'm
coming
at
that
is
is
I'm,
I'm
wondering
you
know.
This
is
a
one-time,
historic
award.
N
You
know
and
I'm
trying
to
think
about
how
we
could
best
support
non-profits,
particularly
the
ones
that
have
the
most
impact
on
our
community.
N
N
You
know,
obviously
we
would
want.
You
know
know
to
have
a
measurable
impact
on
the
community
and
and
I
guess
I'm
wondering
about
amending
this
category
to
raise
the
ceiling
to
250
000
for
two
grants
and
three
Awards
or
or
so
you
know,
depending
on
the
money
for
at
150
000,
to
give
larger
projects
an
opportunity
and
and
I
agree
with
councilmember
Bolin.
You
know
that
this
is
going
to
be
competitive
and
I.
Think
that's
good,
because
if
it's
competitive
we
get
the
most.
N
You
know
we
get
the
most
deserving
application.
We
can
award
the
most
observing
application
and
I
wonder
about
making
an
amendment
so
that
purpose.
N
I
actually
have
I
have
some
language,
but
I.
You
know
I
wanted
the
others
wanted
to
weigh
in
on
this
I'd
be
happy
to
wait
a
minute.
A
Sure
well,
I
know
we
have
a
council
member
crabill
who
wants
to
speak
and
then
council,
member
martini,
and
certainly
if
you
want
to.
N
Okay:
okay,
the
amendment
I
would
like
to
amend
this
document
to
read
something
like
in
the
social
economic
category.
There
will
be
tool
Awards
of
the
250
000
level
and
three
awards
at
the
150
000
level.
A
So
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
and
I
know
we
have
additional
discussion,
so
we
can
certainly
so
I'll
keep
note
of
what
the
the
amended
motion
is.
You
say
with
the
category:
that's
what
250.
C
N
You
know
I
I,
you
know
there
would
be
two
at
100
at
250
000
and
then
with
that,
what's
left
of
that
the
total
money
you
know,
I
would
estimate
three
plus
if
everyone,
if
everyone
wanted
you
know
the
full
150
000
but
I,
don't
know
that
there
might
be
more.
If
there
were
people
who
wanted
just
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
there
might
be
more
than
three
so.
A
A
R
Considering
the
amendment
is
that
what
we're
debating
at
this
point-
because
it's
normally
what
you'd
have
is
you'd-
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
on
that
item
itself
and
then
a
motion
to
amend
but
kind
of
informally.
Here
it
looks
like
what
we're
looking
we're
talking
about
now.
Is
this
motion
to
amend.
H
R
What
I'm
saying
is
you
know
normally
what
you
would
have
is
a
motion
on
the
larger
item
and
then,
if
there
was
a
motion
to
amend
you
would
look
at
the
motion
to
amend
first
here.
I
guess
you
could
take
the
agenda.
The
idea
that
it's
that's
on
the
agenda.
This
particular
topic
is
and
there's
a
motion
to
agenda
to
amend
the
topic,
so
I
think
I
think
by
Robert's
Rules.
You
kind
of
need
to
discuss
whether
there
should
be
this
amendment
or
not.
H
G
Do
have
a
question
on
it.
I
guess,
would
that
result
in
a
smaller
population
of
eligible
non-profits
receiving
grants
from
the
city.
T
C
G
That
does
cause
me
some
concern,
especially
with
a
decision
recently
by
our
largest
employer
that
will
limit
the
donation
matching
and
Good
Neighbor
grants
for
retirees
in
this
community
and
I
think
some
of
the
smaller
non-profits
will
be
hit
harder
than
some
of
the
larger
ones
in
town.
So
I
just
thought
for
that
thought.
H
R
Foreign
on
here
is
the
motion
to
amend,
to
have
the
cap
of
two
250
dollar
grants
and
then
up
to
three
at
150
thousand
dollars.
D
D
And
so
what
George
was
saying
is
we
would
vote
on
the
amendment
and.
A
A
A
D
Okay,
yes,
that
is
correct:
councilmember
bowling,
councilmember,
Welch
and
councilmember
matney.
A
C
B
B
R
Oh
sure,
so,
for
example,
what
the
discussion
was
whether
the
art,
the
item
9A,
the
ordinance
that's
before
you
under
that
should
be
amended
to
contain
the
language
that
was
proposed
in
the
amendment.
Now
it's
been
amended
to
contain
that
language,
so
you're,
looking
at
the
exact
same
ordinance
only
with
the
amended
language
in
that
ordinance.
A
H
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you.
Melissa
I
know
it's
hard
trying
to
come
up
with
something
that's
viable,
as
well
as
getting
a
majority
approval
from
Council.
So
really
appreciate
that
from
you
and
your
staff,
just
I
guess
just
random
questions,
but
on
exhibit
a
what's
a
qualified
census
tract
mentioned
in
the
small
business
Rehabilitation
Grant.
T
So
those
qualified
census
tracts
are
actually
determined
by
Hud
and
they
use
data
provided
to
them
by
the
IRS.
So
the
qualified
census
track
was
provided
in
the
in
the
previous
PowerPoint
and
we'll
have
that
available
as
well
as
people
are
applying.
T
What
the
qualified
census
track
is
looking
at
is
that
50
of
incomes
in
that
area
are
below
the
60
area,
median
income.
So
for
us,
it
kind
of
incorporates
the
downtown
a
little
bit
of
the
West
side
and
then
continues
down
south
okay.
H
And
then
for
the
small
business
Rehabilitation
grants
and
then
the
housing
grants
what
happens?
H
What's
what's
I
guess
the
process
do
I
have
as
an
applicant
do
I
have
to
complete
the
project,
doesn't
sound
like
from
the
answer
for
Molly,
but
you
don't
have
to
put
a
homeowner
landlord
would
not
have
to
put
the
money
up
front
to
get
reimbursed
by
the
city,
or
would
they.
T
So,
generally,
with
the
like
Rehabilitation
for
the
those
type
of
Grants
there's
the
contractor
would
provide
you
know
all
of
the
proposed
documents
of
what
work
is
going
to
be
performed.
T
Those
contractors
would
have
to
be
registered
contractors
from
the
city,
so
a
lot
of
them
are
very
used
to
our
process.
A
lot
of
them
are
used
to
with
our
other
cdbg
and
Ida
programs
registered
to
receive
payments,
and
so
with
those
we
just
would
pay
directly
to.
H
H
Another
screen
I
had
reached
out
to
you
today
with
regard
to
Historic
preservation
and
the
the
question
really
is.
If
a
property
is
subject
to
the
National
register,
right
and
and
I
think
if
it's
subject
to
the
National
register,
it
should
be
going
through
the
historic
preservation
committee,
commission,
or
even
if
it's
eligible
it
may
not
be
designated
but
only
eligible.
So.
T
The
way
that
the
historic
preservation
commission,
they
are
responsible
for
landmarks
and
anything
in
historic
districts,
is
outlined
in
chapter
44.,
so
anything
that
is
a
landmark
or
in
a
historic
district
is
the
way
it
is
defined
in
our
code
has
an
S4
designation.
So
anything
that
has
the
local
S4
designation
requires
a
certificate
of
appropriateness
in
order
to
receive
building
or
demolition
permits.
So
for
those
buildings
that
are
not
S4
designated
but
are
on
the
national
register.
H
H
A
Okay,
I
I
know
we're
I
think
we
need
an
extension
of
time
correct.
A
B
H
G
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
say
I,
think
you've
done
a
really
nice
job,
laying
this
all
out
on
a
very
complicated
topic
and
I
just
wanted
to
compliment
you
for
that,
and
also
to
thank
you
for
calling
out
Aging
in
place
and
the
benefits
of
that
I.
Think
it's
a
wonderful
thing
for
you
to
call
that
out.
There's
a
lot
of
great
research
out
there
that
supports
that
that's
better
for
our
population,
our
aging
population,
and
also
better
for
the
community
and
public
resources.
So
thank
you
very
much.
G
A
Thank
you
well,
and
you
have
some
time
to
spare
for
your
colleagues
thanks,
I
think
Nexus,
council
member
Crumpler.
Thank.
N
You
mayor
again,
thank
you
Melissa
again.
Just
to
reiterate.
Excuse
me
to
reiterate
Sheila's
comments.
I
appreciate
all
the
work
you
do,
I,
just
wonder
if
you
could
give
me
a
quick
sense
of
the
review
process
of
these
grants.
Having
you
know
never
been
through
anything
like
this
I
know
it's
a
generally
a
staff
process.
Do
you
bring
in
outside
experts?
Do
you
you
know,
maybe
give
me
a
sense
of
the
timeline.
I
know
that's
hard
to
estimate,
but
I'm
just
wondering
just
a
little
bit
more
information.
If
you
would
please
sure.
T
So
we'll
establish
policies
and
procedures,
I
think
probably
the
closest
example
would
be.
The
cares
act
funding.
So
with
that
we
did
something
very
similar
with
the
small
business
grants
that
we
did
going
through.
The
guidance
that's
been
provided
by
the
treasury
will
outline
our
policies
and
procedures,
making
sure
that
we're
dotting
our
eyes
and
crossing
our
T's,
and
so
as
the
applications
become
available,
as
I
said,
we'll
have
those
set
up
so
that
people
are
able
to
apply
online.
So
we
want
to
make
it
as
easy
as
possible.
T
In
the
past,
we've
done
things
as
well.
As
you
know,
provided
tablets
and
staff
available.
You
know
down
in
the
lobby
outside
of
the
Hub
The
Hub
staff
has
been
great
as
well
being
available
for
people
to
come
in
and
fill
out
applications
if
they
don't
have
access
to
technology,
but
then
by
providing
that
online
application,
you
know
allowing
everybody
at
the
same
time
to
be
able
to
go
on
and
apply
with
that.
Then
staff
would
review
the
application
all
supporting
documentation.
T
I'm,
assuming
we'll
do
something
very
similar
to
what
we've
done,
with
the
other
grants
that
there
will
be
a
time
limit
for
people
to
get
back
with
that
supporting
documentation
in
order
to,
if
they're
they're
not
able
to
provide
what
is
necessary
to
show
eligibility,
we
would
not
want
to
hold
that
spot.
So
we
will
provide
people
an
adequate
amount
of
time
if
they
need
to
get
documentation
a
lot
of
times.
Staff
will
assist
people
and
in
where
to
go.
T
What
resources,
how
to
get
that
documentation
if
they're
not
familiar
and
just
working
with
people,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
everything
once
they've,
you
know
gone
through
the
checklist
of
here's
the
eligibility
and
you
meet
all
the
criteria,
then
we
would
provide
them
a
letter
saying
that
they
do
meet
the
eligibility
requirements
and
they
would
be
awarded
and
then
kind
of
walk
them
through
the
process
of
the
next
steps.
Thank.
Q
Yeah
one
one
clarification
and
two
suggestions
or
requests
the
clarification
earlier
when
council
member
crabill
was
talking
about
whether
about
the
process
and
in
terms
of
of
contractors,
you
know
being
reimbursed
directly
and
and
so
forth.
What,
if
a
person
is
doing
the
work
themselves.
T
So,
generally,
with
this,
with
most
of
these
programs,
it's
going
to
require
that
they
use
utilize
a
contractor.
Generally,
we
don't
do
reimbursement
for
people
doing
the
work
themselves
for
those
programs
for
the
federally
funded
programs
that
we
have.
T
Is
generally
just
facade
improvements
with
this
I
mean
we're
going
to
be
doing.
You
know
a
lot
more
there's
a
lot
more
capability
to
do
things
for
people.
So,
whether
that's
you
know
an
outdoor
ramp
or,
like
I
said
you
know,
making
those
adjustments
to
a
restroom
or
kitchen
or
those
types
of
things
are
going
to
require
a
contractor
and
building
permits.
Q
Yeah
I
guess
I'm,
just
it
still
kind
of
concerns
me
that
that
somebody
who
is
is
skilled
but
not
necessarily
formal
formally
so
wouldn't
be
able
to
work
on
their
own
house
quite
a
bit
more
cheaply.
Frankly
than
than
hiring
it
out
that
that
seems
to
fly
in
the
face
of
of
maybe
the
spirit
of
things
so
yeah.
T
You
know,
we've
already
got
those
standards
in
place
process
in
place
in
order
to
do
that.
So
whether
or
not
we
could
fund
individuals
to
make
repairs
to
their
homes,
that's
that's
not
a
program
that
we've
looked
at.
T
Just
going
back
through
through
the
guidance
to
see
that,
if
it
falls
within
any
of
any
of
the
what's
been
approved
and
outlined
by
the
treasury,.
Q
Yeah
I
would
really
appreciate
being
able
to
to
know
that
that's
been
done,
the
other.
The
other
suggestion
that
I
had
was,
would
it
be
possible
to
have
when
there's
a
code
violation?
Would
it
be
possible
to
give
the
property
owner
a
heads
up
that
this
program
exists
and
to
suggest
to
them
how
they
might
be
able
to
tap
into
these
funds
in
order
to
address
the
issues?
That's.
T
A
very
common
practice
for
our
inspectors
when
they're
out
and
they
when
they
get
into
conversations.
If
the
homeowner
you
know
they're
addressing
will
you
know,
you've
got
these
compliance
issues
a
lot
of
times
that
they're,
like
you,
know,
I'm
trying
I,
just
I,
don't
have
the
funds.
The
inspectors
are
really
good
about
referring
people
to
various
programs
in
the
community.
B
Two
minutes
yeah.
This
is
going
to
be
brief.
According
to
the
treasury,
the
funding
has
to
be
covert
related
or
the
effects
of
the
pandemic,
and
after
April,
21
or
2021.
Is
that
correct
I
mean
it
can't
be
like
you
know?
Oh,
my
house
was
in
shambles
before
the
pandemic
and
I
can
now
apply
for
this.
T
B
T
A
Well:
okay,
thank
you
and
I.
Think
at
this
point.
We're
gonna
go
ahead
and
and
vote
for
the
ordinance
which
includes
the
amended
motion.
D
I'll
try
my
best,
so
the
socioeconomic
level
is
being
adjusted
so
that
there
are
two
up
to
250,
000
and
3
up
to
150
000.
No,
what
what
did
we
call
it
amounts
available
and
with
the
balance
to
remain
available
for
additional
applicants
to
receive
sounds.
D
We
have
put
this
Amendment
into
the
motion
and
right
now
we
do
not
have
a
motion
or
second
for
the
final
vote.
Okay,.
N
D
A
Okay,
we're
gonna
move
on
to
city
managers,
discussion
and.
K
Thank
you
mayor
and
Council,
two
slides
and
then
two
additional
comments:
holidays,
Farmers,
Market,
the
Grossinger
Arena
and
that's
December,
17th
9
A.M
to
12,
and
it
is
not
a
pre-order.
The
vendors
are
set
up
at
the
arena.
Next
slide
stocking
stuffer
Saturday
is
December
17th
as
well,
and
the
hours
vary
by
business.
But
this
is
shop.
Local
shop,
small
and
the
two
additional
comments.
K
Next
week
on
December
12th
that'll
be
the
last
council
meeting
for
2022
and,
as
we
have
done
in
the
past
two
years,
we
will
have
our
Public
Works
Road
work
wrap
up
presentation
where
we
invite
the
union
labor
the
primes,
the
subcontractors,
some
of
the
city
staff
in
and
it
will
be
about
a
15
or
a
20
minute
tour
of
a
lot
of
the
concrete
and
asphalt
work
that
we've
done
this
year
very
similar
to
what
we've
done
presented
to
Council
in
the
past,
and
it
truly
is
exciting
to
see
the
amount
of
work
that
we've
done
in.
K
And
then
also
here's
a
last
minute
add-on
appreciate
the
recognition
for
Melissa
this
evening
by
this
Council,
because,
to
be
quite
honest,
you
know
to
be
as
well
versed
as
she
is
on
this
topic
and
I
know
she
has
a
team.
She
has
other
departments,
but
for
her
to
present
this,
it
truly
did
take
a
lot
of
work.
So
I
appreciate
the
public
acknowledgment
by
Council.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
under
mayor's
comments.
The
only
thing
that
I
want
to
say
just
to
thank
councilmember
Bolin,
acting
as
mayor
Pro
tem
for
presiding
at
the
tree
lighting
ceremony.
For
me,
I
heard
it
was
very
windy
and
cold,
but
a
lot
of
fun
was
had
so
thank
you.
B
Yes,
I
did
have
fun,
but
it's
hard
to
make
a
speech
in
the
dark,
with
your
hair
blown
in
your
face
and
your
eyes.
I.
C
B
And
I
missed
Billy,
but
the
most
fun
I
had
was
walking
around
Main
Street
looking
at
the
the
decorations
and
the
vignettes
in
the
downtown
businesses
and
I
happened
to
walk
with
Catherine,
Dunlap
and
I.
Guess
the
city's
having
a
competition
with
Elf
on
the
Shelf
and
she
and
I
found
all
sorts
of
interesting
places
where
the
elf
got
into
trouble,
especially
with
the
police.
So
you
can
check
the
police
Facebook
page.
They
may
have
some
pictures.
A
P
P
Just
super
proud
of
all
of
the
work
that
he's
put
in
and
the
the
combination
of
work
when
he
worked
with
that
Economic
Development
and
that
team
to
bring
this
together
and,
if
anybody's,
looking
to
develop
a
business,
downtown
I
invite
you
to
go,
have
a
conversation
with
Ruben
The,
Spice
Merchant,
and
you
can
tell
him
that
I
said
it
was
okay
to
get
just
one
teaspoon
of
cream
of
tartar.
He'll
love
you
for
that.
P
The
other
thing
is
that
this
week
on
December
7th
there's
going
to
be
a
police
chief,
quarterly
meeting
over
at
the
Osborne
room
at
the
police
station
from
six
to
seven.
This
is
a
super
opportunity,
as
a
community
and
I
want
to
really
reach
out
to
my
ward
6
constituents
to
embrace
this
opportunity
to
go
and
meet
with
the
police
chief
face
to
face,
hear
about.
What's
going
on
what
could
be
going
on
on
bring
their
suggestions,
bring
their
complaints?
P
They
will
deal
with
all
of
that
for
you
in
this
wonderful
meeting
that
they
have
every
quarter.
So
again,
that's
this
Wednesday,
the
7th
six
to
seven
at
the
Osborne
room
at
the
police
station,
so
especially
everybody
in
the
city.
Of
course,
you're
welcome,
but
especially
my
word.
Let's
make
an
appearance
there
and
show
our
support.
Thank.
A
H
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah,
just
wanted
to
First
mention
the
great
work
that
one
of
our
non-profits
is
doing.
The
immigration
project.
They
had
a
naturalization
Clinic
about
three
weeks
ago,
helped
about
12
people.
Seven,
they
got
their
entire
naturalization
application
completed.
H
Others
got
instructed
on
what
they
still
needed
to
do
and
everybody
was
able
to
get
there
I
think
it's
a
750
dollar
fee
waived.
So
it
was.
It
was
a
a
great
event
and
a
number
of
us
Attorneys
at
State,
Farm
helped,
and
so
it
was
a
great
experience
for
everybody
and
then
just
to
add
on
small
business
Saturday.
First
Friday
a
lot
of
traffic,
a
lot
of
businesses
having
deals
tree
lighting,
mayor
I,
think
you
owe
Donna
because
I.
C
H
H
H
The
websites
very
good,
yeah
and
and
yeah
so
I
would
continue
to
you
know
the
deals
and
the
businesses
are
open
up
until
you
know
Christmas
for
Christmas
gifts
and
I'll
just
mention
one
thing
about
spiceworks
a
lot
more
inventory,
but
I
don't
really
cook
that
much
so
they
have
a
lot
of
other
things
besides
spices.
So
let's
mention
that
and
thank
you.
Okay.
