Thank
you
very
much.
We're
gonna
go
ahead
and
go
to
our
consent
agenda.
The
only
action
items,
of
course
at
a
Committee
of
the
Whole
meeting,
would
involve
minutes
of
each
of
these
previous
meetings
and
they
include
May
18th,
May,
26th
and
June
8th
2020
I'm
gonna
ask
to
see
if
this
is
not
I'm,
sorry,
madam
clerk,
so
I
have
to
do
them
individually.
You.
B
B
Right
in
our
June
8
minutes
on
page
2
of
the
minutes,
which
appears
as
page
29
of
today's
packet,
councilmember
Massey,
underneath
his
kovat
update
I
need
to
correct
the
statement
that
he
made
regarding
the
number
that
the
city
could
potentially
lose
if
a
citizen
went
without
completing
the
census
and
in
let
me
just
pull
up
here
and
in
the
minutes
itself
it.
The
sentence
read
that
the
city
could
be
out
170
thousand
dollars
over
the
course
of
ten
years,
and
that
number
should
actually
be
17,000.
B
B
A
E
A
A
You
very
much
motion
carries
no
names
to
annouce,
madam
clerk.
At
this
point
we
have
several
riveting
presentations
and
the
very
first
one
is
6a
presentation
and
discussion
of
the
proposed
water
infrastructure.
Master
plan
talk
about
exciting
reality,
TV,
as
requested
by
the
Public
Works
Department.
Now,
there's
obviously
in
none
of
these
are
their
emotions,
but
the
there's
a
presentation,
and
then
some
council
discussion,
we're
gonna
hook,
go
ahead
and
start
on
a
turn
this
over
to
mr.
Gleason,
and
then
you
can
go
ahead
and
leave
this
off
to
our
senior
project
manager.
Mr.
D
You,
mayor
and
council,
this
is
the
public
follow
up
to
the
discussions
that
we've
been
having
in
the
past
tonight
will
be
a
presentation
from
our
consultant
and
then
what's
the
full
intention
that
this
will
be
an
agenda
item
to
approve
the
water
master
plan
at
next
week's
council
meeting
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
for
opening
comments
to
Kevin
cozy.
Our
public
works
director
Kevin.
D
H
You
city
manager,
Gleeson
and
Thank
You,
mayor
and
council
for
the
opportunity
tonight
to
present
this
master
plan
a
very
brief
overview,
high
level
overview
of
a
400
page
document
that
outlines
what
we
need
to
do
for
basically,
the
next
20
years
to
improve
and
upgrade
and
keep
bringing
safe
drinking
water
to
our
citizens.
And
so
our
consultant,
who
helped
put
all
this
information
together,
is
here
tonight
to
present
this
to
us
and
without
further
ado
alternate
over
Tarrou.
Thank.
I
You
Kevin
and
good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
and
and
thank
you
so
much
for
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
be
here
with
you
tonight,
although
virtually
I
hope
to
give
you
kind
of
a
brief
overview
of
the
water
infrastructure
master
plan
and
would
be
happy
at
the
end
to
take
any
questions
or
comments
from
from
you.
So
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
share
my
screen.
I
I
I
A
lot
of
hard
work
went
into
this,
so
very
much
appreciate
their
hard
work
and
their
teamwork
on
this,
as
well
as
the
opportunity
to
be
here
with
you
tonight,
so
I'm
going
to
go
over
the
slides,
if
at
any
given
point
anyone's
having
a
hard
time
hearing
me
or
can't
quite
see,
if
I'm
going
too
fast
with
the
slides,
please
don't
be
afraid
to
up
the
holler
and
I'll
be
I.
Can
I
can
move
back
a
slide
if
needed?
I
But
they
are
a
very
important
and
integral
part
to
supplying
safe,
reliable
drinking
water
to
the
citizen,
citizens
of
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
then
the
summary
of
the
water
infrastructure
master
plan,
as
I
said
before,
we'll
be
happy
to
wrap
up
with
some
with
some
questions.
So
what
were
the
goals
for
this
water
infrastructure
master
plan?
First,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
there's
enough
water
to
meet
the
projected
needs
for
the
city.
I
I
We
wanted
to
make
sure
the
city
can
maintain
its
compliance
with
regulations
and
then
the
facilities
condition
assessment.
This
is
looking
at
the
water
treatment
plant,
the
pumping
stations,
as
well
as
the
tanks
and
then
finally,
the
distribution
system.
Again,
this
is
the
underground
piping
that
carry
this
water
from
the
treatment
plant
on
the
pump
stations
out
to
our
homes
and
businesses.
So
it's
very
important
that
those
pipes
are
replaced
before
they
fail
to
avoid
any
catastrophic
failure.
I
So
starting
with
demand
forecasting,
we
went
back
and
actually
this
is
just
a
snapshot
of
the
last
10
years
or
so
demand
data
and
when
doing
demand
forecasting
it's
it's
important
to
separate
residential,
which
is
shown
in
blue
versus
gray,
which
is
commercial
and
then
green
is
wholesale.
And
finally,
industrial
is
blue,
dark
blue
and,
as
you
can
see,
generally
speaking
over
the
last
10
years,
winter
demands
avoiding
kind
of
not
looking
necessarily
at
summer
Peaks,
which
are
more
impacted
by
weather
patterns.
Winter
demand
tell
us
kind
of
a
fixed
demand.
I
You
can
see
it's
relatively
steady
over
the
last
10
years.
You
can
see
a
decline
in
commercial
and
both
the
industrial
and
the
wholesale
is
relatively
relatively
flat.
So
this
kind
of
gives
us
a
sense
of
historically
what's
been
happening
in
terms
of
the
water
needs.
Then
we
looked
at
the
population
projection
both
by
the
Regional
Planning
Council,
as
well
as
the
city.
I
And
you
can
see
this
is
the
number
that
we're
gonna
be
referring
to
it's
about
twelve
and
a
half
MGD
the
average
day
demand
that
we're
projecting
for
the
year
2040
versus
kind
of
where
we
are
historically
at
about
ten
point
four.
So
that's
kind
of
a
modest
growth
curve
which
is
representative
of
what
you,
what
we
see
in
most
of
the
other
Midwestern
communities
in
in
in
the
area
on
a
max
day
demand.
I
This
is
you
know,
on
a
hot
summer
day,
such
as
what
we
experienced
not
necessarily
over
the
weekend,
because
we
did
get
some
rain,
but
you
you
do
want
to
factor
in
some
peaking
factor
and
historically,
even
though
that
number
is
1.4,
we
did
elect
to
go
with
a
slightly
more
conservative
peaking
factor,
and
if
you
take
the
12.5
roughly
by
one
point,
seven
you
get
approximately
twenty
one.
Mgd
is
what
we're
projecting
the
max
day
demand
to
be
for
this
system.
I
Do
you
want
to
go
back
roughly
to
the
just
the
twelve
and
a
half,
because
that's
the
number
we're
gonna
see
here
that
tells
us
whether
we
have
enough
water
over
spread
over
the
course
of
a
year.
So
that's
again,
the
twelve
and
a
half
that
we're
projecting
for
the
Year
2044
average
day
demand.
We
usually
compare
125
percent
of
that
number
to
the
available
supply
and
what
you
can
see
without
adding
additional
groundwater
wells.
I
I
So
that's
part
of
improvement
number
one.
Then
we
move
into
regulatory
regulatory
requirements
and
the
big
challenge
for
the
city
that
we
see
from
Lake
Bloomington
is
the
nitrate
levels.
You
have
had
some
exceedences
from
that
lake
above
what
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
set
out
as
a
maximum
contaminant
limit
of
10
milligrams
per
liter.
C
I
Have
no
reason
to
suspect
that
that
limit
is
going
down
with
no
reason
to
suspect
that
it's
gonna
go
up.
It's
it's
staying
at
10,
and
so,
as
the
city
blends
with
evergreen
lake,
there
are
additional
challenges
with
being
able
to
consistently
be
in
compliance
with
that
nitrate
level.
So
therefore,
blending
that
water
with
groundwater
would
not
only
help
the
city
meet
its
supply
needs
over
the
next
20
years,
but
also
allow
the
city
to
maintain
its
compliance
with
the
nitrate
levels.
I
However,
one
challenge
is
that
the
groundwater,
those
wells
do
have
radium
and
we
do
need
to
address
those.
In
addition,
there
are
new
revisions
to
the
lead
and
copper
rule
that
are
anticipated
to
be
released
at
the
end
of
this
year
and
anytime.
You
blend
different
sources
of
water
and
there
are
the
presence
of
lead,
scales
and
pipes
that
those
could
release
lead,
and
so
we
need
to
evaluate
that.
I
So
we
looked
at
five
treatment
methods
for
removing
for
blending
the
two
sources
and
maintaining
compliance
with
nitrate,
as
well
as
the
radium
I
won't
go
through
these
in
detail,
but
one
of
the
options
essentially
to
treat
this
nitrate
with
ion
exchange
blending
the
two
waters
either
at
the
head
of
the
plant
or
at
the
end
of
the
plant
and
then
blending
after
treatment
and
then
finally
modifying
the
treatment
process
to
include
biological
need,
denitrification
to
essentially
remove
the
nitrate.
What
you
see
here
in
the
schematic
is
the
city's
treatment
process.
I
So
what
you
see
here
is
the
additional
wells
are
not
only
from
a
supply
perspective,
but
also
from
a
water
quality
perspective
that
you
see
here
approximately
two
million
dollars.
There
are
approximately
another
$1,000,000
in
miscellaneous
water
quality
improvements,
the
next
task
or
the
next
phase
of
this
or
the
third
pillar
of
this
water
infrastructure
plan
is
a
conditions
assessment.
This
is
an
aerial
of
the
water
treatment
plant,
a
lot
of
facilities,
a
lot
of
equipment,
a
lot
of
systems
that
have
been
there
for
quite
some
time.
I
In
addition
to
this,
we
visit
all
the
other
pumping
stations
and
storage
tanks.
This
included
a
multi-discipline
team
of
structural
electrical,
architectural
HVAC,
plumbing
mechanical
process,
civil,
essentially
all
the
different
engineering
teams
to
go
into
all
these
facilities
and
do
a
comprehensive
condition,
assessment
and
identify
equipment
and
systems
that
are
at
the
near
the
end
of
their
useful
life
and
do
need
to
be
replaced.
I
We
also
did
a
dive
inspections
of
reservoirs
that
could
not
be
removed
from
service,
so
we
had
structural
divers
go
into
the
into
the
reservoirs
of
Division
Street,
and
we
also
did
pump
performance
testing
to
compare
the
performance
of
pumps
to
when
they
were
purchased
brand-new
and
see
if
there's
decline
in
capacity
and
efficiency
over
time.
Based
on
that,
we
developed
a
list
of
projects
and
a
rating
class
and
prioritization
for
all
the
different
systems.
I
I
So
this
is
just
an
example
of
one
of
the
components
that
does
need
to
be
replaced
with
something
that
does
comply
with
industry
standards
as
well.
As
you
know,
something
that
would
replace
this
pump
station.
That's
passed.
It's
useful
life.
There
are
a
number
of
electrical
components
where
parts
are
difficult
to
identify.
I
They've
also
passed
their
useful
life.
What
you
see
here
at
the
enterprise
pumping
station
again
number
of
pumps
and
systems
that
are
near
the
end
of
their
useful
life
and
it's
important
to
start
to
plan
for
these
replacements,
to
avoid
a
catastrophic
failure
where
one
of
these
systems
would
would
fail,
and
you
no
longer
have
the
ability
to
bring
water
into
the
treatment
plant
or
continue
to
maintain
compliance
with
with
regulations.
I
So
out
of
that
condition,
assessment
of
all
the
different
facilities.
We
came
up
with
a
different
set
of
projects
at
the
treatment
plant
electrical
systems
at
the
treatment
plant,
chemical
and
hydraulic
improvements
of
the
treatment
plant,
as
well
as
improvements
at
the
different
pumping
stations
and
collectively.
This
was
approximately
79
million
dollars
of
improvements
to
address
the
condition.
The
age
of
these
systems,
but
as
well
as
safety
and
reliability
and
security
of
all.
These
different
systems
that
are
ver
have
served
this
city
well
over
the
years.
I
I
These
are
the
pipes
that
are
that
are
underground,
that
we
don't
necessarily
see,
but
when,
when
the
water
is
not
available
at
the
tap
where
we
we
drive
on
a
street
and
we
see
sometimes
water
gushing
out
of
the
ground,
those
are
the
pipes
that
very
critical
to
to
the
water
system,
but
but
oftentimes
can
be,
can
be
forgotten.
Unfortunately.
So
what
you
see
here
is
a
map
of
all
the
water
main
breaks
that
have
occurred
within
the
city
and
they're.
I
You
know,
basically
the
spread
pretty
much
throughout
the
the
the
city
on
the
bar
chart
here
on
the
right
on
the
y
axis.
These
are
the
number
of
water
main
breaks
for
every
hundred
miles
of
pipe.
The
city
has
approximately
450
miles
of
pipe
arm,
and
the
industry
standard
is
usually
you
want
to
be
less
than
this
15
breaks
per
hundred
miles,
and
and
and
typically
also,
the
industry
wants
to
see
a
declining
average
meaning
they
want
to
see
you're
trending
in
the
right
direction.
I
If
your
start
out
at
18,
you
want
to
go
down
and
down,
and
what
we
see
here
is
over
a
number
of
years,
including
the
2018
data.
We
can
see
that
you've
approached
the
20
breaks
per
hundred
miles
and
again
these
are
older
pipes
and
they've
served
the
city
well
over
the
years.
It's
just
it's
it's
time
for
replacement,
in
addition
to
main
breaks
which
obviously
not
only
a
disruption
in
service.
Not
only
can
cause
damage
to
property
and
flooding.
There
are
other
criteria
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
distribution
system
can
provide.
I
One
of
them
is
adequate
pressure
and
the
city
set
out
a
goal
of
35
psi.
We
also
set
out
a
goal
for
fire
flow
depending
on
the
zone
in
the
area
that
that's
serving,
and
this
was
reviewed
with
the
fire
chief,
either
500
gallons
per
minute
of
fire
flow
or
a
thousand,
and
then
also
addressing
this
water
eh
water
age
can
sometimes
impact
the
Corrine
residual
and
the
health
and
the
quality
of
the
water.
I
So
we
want
to
continue
to
monitor
the
water
quality
as
it
moves
throughout
the
distribution
system
and
maintain
that
excellent
chlorine
residual
that
is
required
by
regulations.
So
the
first
is:
how
do
we
address
the
fire
flow?
There's,
obviously
not
only
an
insurance
issue,
but
it's
a
safety
issue.
I
The
good
news
is
that
there's
you
know
only
a
handful
of
water
mains
that
do
need
to
be
up
sized
to
meet
fire
flow
requirements
either
the
500,000,
and
that
number
is
about
three
million
dollars
in
in
in
fire,
fall
improvements
and
then,
in
terms
of
the
replacement
programme
based
on
a
prioritization,
we
look
at
both
the
probability
of
failure
and
the
consequence
of
failure
for
every
single
piece
of
pipe
within
the
water
system.
So
probability
of
failure
is,
is
derived
from
the
age
of
the
pipe.
I
How
many
breaks
have
occurred
on
the
pipe,
the
material
of
the
pipe?
Is
it
in
corrosive
soil?
Anything
that
can
tell
us
the
condition
of
that
pipe?
The
consequence
of
the
pipe
tells
us
what
happens
if
that
piece
of
pipe
fails?
Is
it
critical
to
a
critical
customer?
Is
it
gonna
cause
damage?
Does
it
require
a
long
time
to
repair
because
it's
in
a
difficult
area
to
access?
I
So
when
we
went
through
this
prioritization
process
with
city
staff,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we're
balancing
both
of
both
of
these
critical
pieces,
to
define
the
risk
of
a
piece
of
pipe
failing
on
now.
The
good
news
is
most
of
the
pipes
in
the
system
are
either
at
negligible
or
low
risk.
But
it's
still
approximately
7
percent
or
so
the
system
is
a
moderate,
high
or
extreme
high
risk
that
do
need
to
be
do
need
to
be
replaced
over
time
and
again,
nothing
necessarily
wrong
in
just
a
matter
of
these
pipes.
I
Don't
last
forever
and-
and
you
know,
we
just
need
to
make
sure
that
the
city
is
caught
up
in
terms
of
a
water
main
replacement
program
and
so
based
on
approximately
the
four
miles,
an
extreme
risk
several
miles
at
hydras,
21
miles
of
moderate
or
medium
risk.
We've
come
up
with
estimated
capital.
That's
needed
to
replace
these
pipes
and
collectively,
with
the
three
million
dollars
in
fire
flow
improvements
to
upsize
mains
to
meet
the
fire
flow
criteria.
I
We're
looking
at
approximately
53
million
dollars
of
water
mains
pipes
that
that
either
need
to
be
up
sized
or
replaced
to
maintain
compliance
and
domain
and
to
continue
to
provide
the
safe
and
reliable
drinking
water.
So,
in
summary,
what
you
see
on
this
table
is
the
sum
of
all
the
different
improvements
we
start
out
with
the
regulatory,
and
this
is
again
driven
by
the
additional
Wells
that
are
needed
to
maintain
compliance
with
the
nitrate.
I
This
is
what
I
just
recently
went
over
with
the
distribution
system,
improvements,
another
53
million
dollars
and
again
this
includes
both
the
high-risk
extreme
high
and
medium
risk
pipes,
as
well
as
the
fire
flow
and
then
anytime,
you
look
at
a
water
infrastructure
plan
of
this
size.
You
need
to
add
staff
and
services
to
oversee
these
improvements
and
to
implement
them.
I
We're
estimating
that
to
be
approximately
nine
million
dollars,
and
it's
all
it's
important
that
we
consider
ways
to
reduce
non-revenue,
water
and
and
smart
technologies
to
to
operate
and
maintain
the
system
so
collectively
that
totals
one
hundred
and
seventy
two
million
dollars
of
water
system
improvements
to
be
implemented
over
the
next
20
years.
So
I
apologize,
I
apologize
if
I
went
through
this
information
fast
I
would
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
or
any
questions
from
from
from
the
group.
Thank
you
again
very
much
for
your
time.
Great.
A
F
Thanks
mayor
I
was
curious.
When
was
the
last
time
that
we
did
a
study
like
this,
where
we
did
a
complete
system
review
and
and
created
new
priorities
because
I
don't
remember
this
I
we've
been
talking
about
doing
this
one
for
years,
but
when
was
the
last
time
prior
to
this,
that
that
this
complete
kind
of
a
complete
picture
of
the
entire
system
was
done?
Does
anybody
remember
anybody.
F
J
J
We
have
a
lot
of
pieces
and
parts
and
reports
and
master
plans
that
are
old.
Some
out-of-date,
some
didn't
compliment,
or
even
some
we're
in
opposition
to
each
other.
So
the
answer,
your
questions
have
been
a
long
time,
shorter
time
frame
for
some
of
the
pieces
of
parts,
but
quite
extensively
a
long
time
since
we've
done
a
full,
full
scale
plan.
J
F
That's
a
good
answer.
Bob.
Thank
you,
I'm
just
curious,
let's
see
what's
the
best
way
to
say
this,
so
we
get
these
very
well
put
together
recommendations.
So
thank
you
for
all
that
to
CDM
Smith
and
the
staff
for
putting
all
this
together.
I
know
this
was
a
ton
of
work.
We
do,
let's
say,
for
instance,
we
put
in
all
this
into
plan
and
we
get
this
all
going.
Is
this
we're
good
for
20
more
years
from
now
we're
good
for
40
years
from
now
I
mean?
What's
a?
Is
there
a
way
to
Ballpark?
F
J
Let
me
start
in
there,
then
you
can
follow
behind
if
you
want
to
give
some
more
industry
guidelines,
but
this
is
a
20
year
plan.
It's
intended
to
carry
us
through
the
20
years,
that's
not
to
say
that
we
won't
have
to
revisit
or
revise
or
look
at
our
system
for
20
years.
It's
a
constant
review
process.
We
anticipate
probably
in
about
10
years.
We
would
like
to
go
through
and
do
another
master
kinda
see
where
we
are.
It's
not
one.
You
spit
you
use
and
you
walk
away
so
so
we'll
use
it.
A
K
A
I
And
that's
the
nuts
excellent
question:
that's
a
question.
I
get
often
from
council
members,
the
cost
that
you
see
are
presented
as
of
the
date
of
the
master
plan,
so
yeah
in
ten
years.
Unfortunately,
if
you
were
to
say
we're,
not
gonna
do
anything
for
ten
years,
let's
pop
open
this
master
plan,
those
costs
are
gonna,
be
adjusted
based
on
the
you
know.
I
What
we
refer
to
in
our
industry,
the
enr
index
I
need
to
be
inflated
based
on
based
on
those
costs,
so
so
yeah
they
are
in
today's
dollars
and
would
need
to
be
adjusted.
If
you
know
you
know
to
the
year
that
you
know
if
that's
in
ten
years
or
20
years,
hopefully
not,
but
they
they're
they're,
not
future
cost
yeah.
A
You
I'm
gonna,
go
to
council
member
brain
in
a
second,
but
I
just
wanted
to
ask.
Would
it
be
fair
to
summarize
this
overall
processes
that
that
we're
gonna
continue
to
monitor
as
a
city
our
age
from
1850
older,
sewer
lines,
newer,
sewer
lines,
others
that
may
have
been
more
vulnerable,
less
vulnerable
than
others,
and
so
this
is
a
constant
process
of
monitoring
and
a
constant
process
of
fixing.
Is
that
a
fair
assessment
I'm.
H
Gonna,
it
is
the
infrastructure
ages
differently,
just
because
you
have
a
sewer
or
water
main.
That's
100
years
old
and
one
that's
say:
50
years
old
doesn't
mean
the
50
year
old,
one
isn't
in
worse
shape
than
the
hundred
year,
and
so
it
is
a
constant
process
of
reassessing
conditions,
as
a
Maru
showed
the
water
main
breaks
over
the
years.
We
tracked
that
in
the
GIS
now
so
we
can
see.
H
Okay,
we
have
an
instance,
for
instance,
in
a
part
of
the
city
that
might
be
related
to
corrosive
soils
or
perhaps
a
certain
type
of
pipe
material
that
was
used
in
a
certain
area.
We
can
narrow
that
down
and
target
some
infrastructure
that
might
need
attention,
even
though
it
might
be
newer
infrastructure.
So
we
are
constantly
evaluating
and
we
move
forward
and
as
mr.
H
L
You
mayor
and
thank
you
for
this
presentation
this
evening
it
it
certainly
helps
us
to
to
focus
on
the
issue
at
hand
of
delivery
of
safe
and
fresh
water
to
our
community,
which
is
a
fundamental
situation
for
our
public
health
and
safety.
So
I
had
a
question
in
regards
to
the
revenue
water
losses.
The
last
slide
that
was
shared
had
I
believe
it
was
a
20
million
dollar
figure
about.
It
seemed
to
me
to
be
focusing
on
reducing
non-water
revenue
sources
and
I.
Guess
that
means
losses
can?
J
Can
I
jump
in
there
and
start
off
with
that
and
then
I'll,
let
Kevin
ometer
jump
in
as
well,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
more
rolled
into
that
20
million
dollars
at
the
bottom
of
that
last
slide
then
bit
on
that
slide.
So
we
backed
up
a
second
and
I'll
answer
your
question
in
what
the
net
20
members
also
programs
and
processes
that
we
did
not
a
seating
stuff
to
look
at.
J
So
our
water
meter
replacement
program,
our
watershed
improvement
program,
a
number
of
those
things
that
have
a
high
dollar
amounts
to
them,
but
we're
not
included
in
the
scope
of
the
master
plan
for
sake.
We,
as
staff
chose
to
do
those
separately.
We
had
some
expertise
and
some
other
consultant
work
on
those,
so
some
of
that
20
million
dollars
it
is
rolled
in
from
the
rest
of
the
things
that
need
to
be
put
together
in
our
capital
improvement
plan
and
financial
plan.
J
So
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
and
as
far
as
our
non
River
in
the
water,
we
are
doing
things
to
address
that
now
we
just
see
that
there's
opportunity
to
do
improvements
to
focus
on
it.
Some
things
we
do.
We
go
through
the
cities
of
distribution
system,
a
quarter
of
the
450
miles
every
year
and
do
a
leak
assessment.
J
So
we
hired
consultant
that
comes
in
and
listens
to
our
system
to
try
to
find
some
larger
leaks
to
eliminate
those
we're
also
in
the
middle
of
the
beginning,
stages
of
putting
in
some
additional
metering
so
we're
adding
some
meters
at
the
water
treatment
plant
just
south
of
the
plant.
So
we
can
accurately
determine
how
much
water
is
actually
being
produced
and
pumped
into
town
that
allow
us
to
better
compare
to
what
is
actually
being
sold
and
give
us
that
more
non-revenue
water,
specific
number
that
in
some
cases,
is
a
little
bit
of
an
estimate.
J
At
this
point,
we
also
will
continue
with
that
program
to
add
some
zone
metering,
so
we
can
differentiate
what
goes
into
a
zone
and
what
gets
used
in
a
zone.
Allow
us
to
focus
in
to
maybe
some
additional
locations
we're
losing
more
water.
The
water
main
break
map
does
give
us
an
idea
of
where
those
some
of
those
are
at,
but
it
we're
just
drilling
down
a
little
bit
at
a
time.
J
M
M
The
road
is
amazing,
so
I
want
to
commend
you
all
for
doing
a
great
job
with
that
I
didn't
know
on
one
of
the
slides
I
think
it
was
described
about
water
supply
and
demand.
It
was
a
reference
to
wholesale
as
opposed
to
residential
and
commercial
and
like
this
is
the
first
that
I've
heard
of
wholesale,
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
get
some
clarification
on
that
and.
J
Start
and
Kevin
I'm
ready
to
jump
in
so
that
graph
that
he
showed
had
a
number
of
different
lines
on
it
and
specifically
you're
asking
about
the
wholesale.
What
we'd
put
in
the
categories
pole
sale
is
there's
a
number
of
entities
that
we
sell
water
to
that
then
they
turn
around
and
resell
that
water,
and
so
particularly,
we
sell
water
to
the
village
huts
in
villages.
J
M
J
J
Rate
for
what
we
sell
it
as
wholesale
and
they
turn
around
Vivian
and
grow
mark
or
Firestone,
and
those
we
put
those
in
the
industrial
or
commercial
categories.
And
if
you
notice
there
is
a
dark
blue
line
at
the
bottom
of
that
graph.
That
a
couple
years
ago,
it
kind
of
drops
off
nothing
that
that
is
represented
up
with
Mitsubishi
shut
out.
So
you
can
easily
see
the
rivey
end.
Would
bill
turn
that
direct
category
nowadays,
but
we've
lost
a
significant
amount
of
revenue
and
use.
A
N
You
so
much
thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation.
That's
really
really
helpful,
as
we
are
talking
about
making
plans
and
investments
towards
the
next
20
years,
which
I
think
the
gravity
of
that
is
sinking
on
with
me.
I
want
to
try
to
understand
how
we're
approaching
this
through
an
equity
lens,
in
a
way
that
you
know
addresses
historic
and
structural
disinvestment,
particularly
in
communities
of
color
and
low-income
communities.
So
how
are
we?
How
are
we
incorporating
equity
into
our
planning
for
the
future
in
terms
of
water.
J
Take
a
starting
point
out
and
somebody
can
add
in
I,
guess
we
we
feel
that
we're
providing
the
same
level
of
service.
I'll
start
with
that
to
everyone
in
our
community.
All
of
our
customers
are
our
citizens.
We
looked
at
the
the
production,
the
pressures,
the
volumes
across
the
board
meeting
regulatory
standards.
J
We
have
an
opportunity,
look
towards
the
future
and
the
rates
and
looking
towards
that
as
a
next
step,
to
making
sure
that
we
can
address
that
a
little
bit
more
dramatically
in
the
context
or
lenses
I
think
what
you're
talking
about,
but
somebody
else
wants
to
add
in
that
Kevin
Reimer,
to
see
if
I'm
missing
a
point
that
you
guys
are
aware
of
that
helps
answer
her
question.
If.
A
I
could
just
clarify
if
that's
the
case,
you
know,
given
that
that's
the
case
right
I
don't
mean
to
sound
like
it
was
a
question
Bob,
but
that
we
do
that.
That
is
our
policy
now,
as
we
begin
to
repair
some
of
the
older
parts
of
our
water
system,
that
in
effect
is
kind
of
a
redistributed
hasn't
it
redistributed
impact
upon
the
community,
because
it's
not
like
most
of
the
east
side
need
is
going
to
need
large
amounts
of
new
water
systems
or
water
lines.
Anytime
soon
is
that
a
fair
statement
I
mean
things.
C
J
I
think
it's
unrealistic,
pull
back
up
the
map
and
show
where
the
higher
priority
water
mains
were
at
most
among
theatres,
newer
subdivisions
and
newer
areas
of
the
community.
So
in
that
sense
we
are
putting
investment
back
towards
bringing
our
infrastructure
some
of
our
older
locations
up
to
current
standards
and
in
case,
if
you
want
to
point
to
that
equity
piece
of
part
of
that,
yes,
I,
think
that
qualify.
A
N
I
guess
just
to
clarify
I,
don't
have
any
evidence
that
would
lead
me
to
believe
that
the
water
quality
is
different.
Depending
on
who
you
are
so
I
guess.
The
question
speaks
more
to
rate
structures
and
thinking
through
how
that
affects
different
brackets
of
our
residents
differently
in
so
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that,
but
that
does
get
prioritize
right,
that
it's
not
it's
not
an
afterthought,
because
sometimes
it's
when
we
build
these
systems
and
our
thinking
about
that
and
have
invested
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
that
we
realized.
Oh,
we
should
have.
A
A
N
J
We
absolutely
absolutely
will
we'll
consider
all
the
industry
standard
solutions
as
well
as
many
different
input
levels
from
the
counsel
on
the
call
here,
as
well
as
the
ratepayers
and
citizens
that
get
to
participate
through
that
there's.
A
lot
of
unique
things
that
can
come
out
of
Industry
stands,
but
also
a
lot
of
unique
things
that
we
that
are
commonly
look
at
that
won't
realize
it.
So
it's
certainly
going
to
be
a
focus
during
those
conversations
and
I
look
forward
to
having
those
talks
with
you
a
little
bit
further.
Thank.
A
Bob
thanks
Jen
councilmember
emic,
and
if
it's
your
your-your-your,
you
have
the
floor.
Julie
Julie.
N
G
I
made
you
look
okay,
now
not
Mary.
Thanks
of
the
presentation
gosh
weeks
now,
I
should
get
used
to
this.
So
I
have
just
one
quick
question
of
clarification
and
then
another
one
having
to
do
with
efficiency
going
forward
so
from
what
I
can
understand,
even
by
the
leak
assessment
graphic
that
in
a
lot
of
ways,
we
are
above
the
industry
standard
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
leaks
we
have
in
our
infrastructure
and
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
the
bulk
of
our
repair
work
needed
is
really
to
up.
G
Read
the
system,
make
sure
that
it's
running
efficiently
and
safely.
You
know
that
we're
not
getting
say
as
a
surge
of
lead
in
our
water
supply
to
paint
a
the
darkest
picture
there
and
and
so
from
what
I
can
tell.
What
we
really
need
to
do
is
just
improve
the
the
structure
of
our
water
system,
and
the
second
question
is:
can
you
foresee
any
way
to
incentivize
water
use
efficiency
which
might
result
in
lower
costs
for
all
like?
G
J
Thank
you,
nikka
I
just
know.
The
water,
efficiency
and
conservation
has
certainly
impacted
our
daily
use
in
our
sale
volume
water
over
the
last
10
years.
You
can
see
that
with
the
efficient
use
of
our
toilets
and
saints,
and
otherwise
it
has
brought
that
down,
if
not
to
say
that
it's
to
a
level
where
it
should
be.
J
As
most
of
you
know
and
we're
on
the
council,
we
implemented
a
leak
protection
program
about
a
year
ago
in
May,
that's
been
well
utilized
to
help
people
and
what
the
data,
if
you
look
that
initially
shows,
is
what
we,
what
we've
always
said
is
toilets
account
for
the
vast
majority
of
our
leaks,
as
well
as
some
other
infrastructure.
So
can
we
still
provide
some
education
to
help
people
use
less
water
for
their
daily
activities,
and
can
we
worked
in
the
Sante
by
those
that
are
more
conserve?
Yes,
you
can.
J
Our
current
decrease
in
blackberry
structure
is
a
little
unique.
It
takes
me.
It
took
into
consideration
number
things
a
while
ago
and
when
we'll
look
look
through
a
multitude
of
things
and
certainly
conservation
and
looking
for
people
to
conserve,
it
is
appropriate.
We'll
just
have
to
balance
that
with
making
sure
we
have
the
revenue
distributed
properly
to
get
the
products
done,
be.
A
Done.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
very
much
at
this
point.
We
exactly
have
hit
our
time
and
we've
certainly
appreciate
the
presentation
and
we
look
forward
to
acting
on
this
in
the
future.
At
this
point,
we're
gonna
move
on
to
item
6
B
as
in
boy,
and
that
is
presentation
and
discussion
of
the
connect
transit
connect
to
the
future
working
group.
We
know
that
this
is
long
wait
and
it's
requested
by
the
administration.
I'm
gonna
actually
turn
this
over
to
mr.
A
Grayson
at
least
him
Reef
Lee
before
I
think
he's
gonna
turn
it
over
to
Isaac
thorne.
We
do
have
Isaac
thorn
and
we
have
the
chair
of
Connect
Transit,
Ryan,
White,
House
and
Judy
Buchanan,
who
are
also
on
the
line
to
connect,
can
answer
questions
or
add
to
this
so
I'm,
going
to
turn
over
first
to
mr.
Gleason.
O
So
I
just
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
council
for
allowing
us
this
opportunity
to
make
this
presentation.
As
I've
already
stated.
Joining
me
tonight
is
to
Bloomington
appointees,
chairman
Ryan,
White
House
and
trustee
Judy
Buchanan.
Tonight
we're
going
to
be
updating
Council
on
our
koba
19
policies
and
procedures
are
connected.
The
future
workgroup
recommendations,
operation
and
budget
challenges
and
then
finally
downtown
transportation,
center
site
selection
study,
so
I'm
going
to
start
this
presentation.
Hopefully
this
works.
O
O
Okay,
everybody
see
that
yeah
all
right,
so
I
just
want
to
start
off
by
thanking
our
employees
for
the
incredible
work
they're
doing
during
the
pandemic.
The
service
that
we
are
providing
proves
beyond
a
doubt
that
Connect
Transit
is
an
essential
service.
Our
community
is
relying
on
transit
more
than
ever.
Never
not
everyone
uses
public
transit,
but
we
all
rely
on
essential
employees
such
as
grocery
clerks
medical
staff
and
others
that
do
rely
on
Connect
transit
for
transportation.
All
these
essential
employees
are
very
important
to
connect
transit
and
they
are
critical
to
our
community.
O
When
the
crowbars
hit
our
area,
we
instituted
policies
and
procedures
to
keep
our
employees
and
customers
safe.
We
did
a
disservice
because
we
saw
a
drastic
decrease
in
ridership
and
we
wanted
to
ensure
that
bullies
could
take
time
off
if
they
were
sick
or
if
they're
caring
for
family
members
and
we've
been
reminding
employees.
If
you
are
sick,
please
stay
home,
we
don't.
We
don't
want
you
at
work,
but
this
also
allows
us
to
free
up
our
operators
to
clean
and
disinfect
buses.
We've
been
cleaning
buses,
disinfecting
them
on
regular
intervals,
every
four
hours.
O
Unfortunately,
though,
this
did
add
about
six
thousand
dollars
in
additional
cleaning
costs
per
week.
We
also
instituted
a
passenger
limit
on
fixed
route
and
connectability
buses
on
fixed
route.
We
limited
passengers
to
ten
and
then
on
connect
mobility
will
limit
our
passengers
to
3
1,
ensure
that
all
of
our
customers
are
practicing
safe,
physical
distancing
from
one
another.
That's
why
we
at
that
policy
in
combination,
we
also
instituted
rear
door
boarding
and
suspended
a
fare
to
collections.
O
We
weren't
ensure
that
customers,
when
get
on
the
buses,
weren't
bunching
up
at
the
fare
box,
trying
to
put
in
their
fare
or
swipe
their
pass.
You
want
to
ensure
that
they
are
also
practicing
safe,
social
distancing
and
we
want
them
to
ensure
they're
practicing
social
institutions
throughout
the
bus.
The
drivers
area
is
very,
very
tight,
but
we
also
understand
the
impact
that
the
reduction
of
fares
our
suspension
affairs,
is
having
on
our
customers.
We
know
that
they're
they're
doing
financially
going
for
our
hard
times
this
pandemic.
O
So
that's
that's
been
a
great
thing
for
our
customers
is
reduction
or
suspension.
Affairs
we're
also
requiring
mask
for
face
covering
for
all
our
employees
and
customers
on
the
bus
and
we're
equipping
drivers
with
additional
mass
to
provide
to
customers
that
don't
have
one.
We
don't
want
to
strand
our
customers
or
tell
them
they
can't
ride
because
they
don't
have
a
face
mask.
O
So
we
are
handing
these
out
to
customers
or
reminding
them
that
face
mask
is
required
to
ride
the
bus,
we're
also
implementing
interior
displays
and
mobile
ticketing
to
complement
wayfinding
and
hands-free
ridership
I'll
be
talking
more
about
these
all
later.
I
just
want
to
take
this
time
to
make
a
public
service
announcement
that
Connect
Transit
is
providing
transportation
service
to
the
Cova
19
testing
center.
They
partner
with
McLean
County
Health
Department
in
Thane
County
EMA,
to
ensure
that
people
that
don't
have
a
vehicle
have
transportation
to
the
testing
site.
O
They
can
take
our
buses
there
and
they
can
get
off
to
the
walk-up
site.
So
I
was
one
make
the
council
where
that
I
had
to
make
residents
that
even
watching
aware
that
that
is
available
for
those
who
want
to
get
tested.
We
encourage
you.
You
need
to
get
tested
to
use
that
service,
so
at
this
time
and
I
turn
it
over
to
trustee
Jeter
Buchanan.
Who
is
going
to
talk
about
the
connect
to
the
Future
workgroup
recommendations,
duty.
P
Judy
yep
I
think
I'm
here
now,
can
you
hear
me
now
here
you
come.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Jerry
about
their
hair
and
thanks
to
all
of
you
who
I'm
going
to
speak
rather
briefly
to
the
connect
to
the
future
recommendations.
I
believe
you
all
did
receive
an
executive
summary
and
and
a
report
of
the
recommendations
again
just
recently,
and
actually
thank
you
very
much,
every
member
of
the
council
who
took
the
time
out
of
all
your
schedules
to
sit
down
with
Isaac
and
myself
and
walk
through
these
recommendations.
P
We
I
think
we
had
a
really
good,
robust
discussion
with
each
one
of
you
and
we've
we've
heard
you.
We
are
we've
been
informed
by
some
of
the
things
that
you
shared
with
us
as
we
go
forward.
I
think
you
understand.
The
charge
of
this
workgroup
was
really
to
to
engage
our
community
in
in
recognizing
the
essential
role
as
Isaac
just
stated,
of
connect
transit
and
how
we
want
our
our
mobility
platform
to
look
going
forward.
P
Of
course,
when
we
said
that
initially
no
one
where
thought
going
forward
would
mean
trying
to
advance
all
the
good
things
that
our
city
has
to
do
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic.
But
among
the
recommendations,
the
one
rate
for
all
the
board
has
approved
that
the
Board
of
Trustees
has
approved
that
and
when
we
resume
collection
than
the
board.
You
know
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
how
and
when
do
we
institute
that?
P
But
there
will
be
ample
warning
not
morning
but
notice
to
all
of
our
riders
and
potential
riders
when
that
does
happen,
so
that
we
aren't
just
going
to
turn
off
the
switch
from
the
no
fare
to
the
one
rate
for
all.
But
that
was
definitely
a
topic
of
significant
conversation.
Discussion
among
the
workgroup
who,
incidentally,
I
think
you
all
know
we
have.
P
We
had
a
wonderful
group
of
individuals
from
throughout
our
community
who
did
a
very
outstanding
job
amidst
a
lot
of
challenges
and
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
issues
that
were
we're
not
the
easiest
to
come
to
grips
with,
but
they
did
a
wonderful
job
and
by
consensus,
approved
unanimously
reports
that
was
given
to
you.
The
expansion
of
services
to
the
city
limits
was
another
very
large
conversation
in
the
workgroup,
and
that
really
is
a
work
in
progress.
P
People
that
are
writers
that
are
wanting
to
utilize
that
will
need
submit
an
application
and
can
work
with
our
connect
staff
on
making
that
happen.
The
better
bus
stops
campaign
is
in
processes.
If
you
are
interested
in
tracking,
where
we
are
what
we've
done
and
some
of
the
time
frames,
that
is,
on
the
connect
transit
website.
Our
our
goal
is,
as
you
see
here,
to
be
complete
with
this
campaign
by
2024.
P
The
sustaining
funding
detail
and
that's
there
before
you
and
I
know
there
have
been
some
specific
discussions
and
Isaac
will
be
touching
upon
that
in
terms
of
future
action
with
additional
funding,
I'm
aware
that
that
there
is
discussion
of
where,
where
would
we
be
expanding
any
of
fixed
routes?
Those
kind
of
discussions
will
be
working
with
the
regional
planning,
commission
and
others.
P
As
we
look
at
trying
to
develop
some
some
plans
and
some
recommendations,
whether
or
not
we
can
expand
and
with
that
expansion
of
any
any
fixed
route,
it's
going
it's
going
to
require
additional
funding.
So
that
is
something
that
is
for
the
future.
The
items
I
just
mentioned
above
are
really
the
ones
that
we've
put
our
arms
around
right
now.
I
think
we
are
very
excited
with
the
opportunity
we
have
to
do
this,
we're
also
looking
at
our
Citizens
Advisory
Committee
and
do
plan
to
add
members
of
our
business
community.
P
Certainly,
students
from
both
ISU
and
Heartland
Community,
College
and
community
engagement,
I
think
we've
all
learned
through
the
process.
Once
we
are
able
to
do
that
in
a
more
in
a
more
relaxed
setting,
we
definitely
do
intend
to
continue
the
community
engagement,
because
it's
been
very
informative
and
helpful
for
us,
as
well
as
hopefully
informing
our
community,
our
writers
and
potential
writers
of
just
what
we
are,
what
we
are
able
to
do
in
the
way
of
transporting
them.
So
I
think
that
that's
my
brief
comment
on
the
future
recommendations.
A.
O
Huge
trustee,
Buchanan,
so
I'm
just
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
investment
of
$200,000
requested
were
seeking
through
the
work
group
recommendations,
as
trustee
Buchanan
already
mentioned,
I
believe
we've
spoken
to
all
council
members
about
the
workgroup
recommendations
back
in
early
March,
correct,
originally
planned
to
use
the
investment
of
twenty
eight
thousand
nine
hundred
and
forty
six
dollars
for
the
one
rate
for
all
cm
service,
one
rate
for
all
fare
structure
and
expansion
of
CM
service
to
the
city
and
town
limits.
Additionally,
20
thousand
dollars
for
the
zero
fare
reroute
pilot.
O
In
looking
at
the
zero
a
fair
amount
pilot,
we
did
cut
that
do
the
pandemic.
The
board
did
not
believe
now
was
the
right
time
to
test
a
zero
fare
pilot
during
a
pandemic.
As
we
know,
most
the
entertainment
events
in
both
uptown
and
downtown
Bloomington
have
been
canceled
I,
don't
know
how
much
how
long
we'll
be
dealing
with
the
current
pandemic.
O
Much
like
the
city
of
Bloomington
Connect
is
facing
an
unprecedented
situation
caused
by
the
fan
mimic.
Our
previous
ridership
and
fair
revenue
projections
are
now
obsolete.
We
don't
know
when
ridership
will
return
to
pre
coded
levels,
and
this
will
affect
our
forever
rare
revenue
collective.
We
shifted
the
town
and
city
investment
to
ensure
that
fares
remain
equitable
and
affordable,
and
bus
service
continues
without
disruption.
O
At
this
time
we
remain
cautious
but
optimistic
regarding
state
funding
which
reimburses
65%
of
the
next
operating
expenses
and
I
will
talk
much
more
about
our
budget
challenges
and
the
next
slide
so
connect
transit
is
restoring
service.
In
August,
we,
like
I,
said
we
reduce
most
of
our
peak
service
back
in
early
March.
The
board
will
continue
to
review
this
plan.
O
Restoring
service,
as
positive
cases
have
been
increasing
in
our
community.
We
are
restoring
service
because
ridership
decreased
75%
in
April
and
only
decrease
25%
in
June.
This
is
a
50%
increase
in
ridership.
We
believe
most
of
this
is
due
to
the
shelter-in-place
order
being
lifted
into
Matic.
Peak
service
has
already
been
restored
on
the
green
route
and
the
line
express
routes
to
deal
with
a
sizable
increase
in
ridership.
Their
collection
has
been
suspended
since
March,
as
I
mentioned.
Prior
to
this
board
and
I
are
aware.
O
The
financial
impact
customers
are
dealing
with
through
the
pandemic,
and
customers
been
very
thankful.
Suspension
Affairs,
as
this
is
saving
them
monthly,
on
transportation
costs.
So
before
restoring
fares,
we
have
to
ensure
the
safety
of
our
customers
and
operators.
The
fare
box
is
positioned
very
close
to
the
operator
on
the
bus
and
we're
strolling
installing
a
driver
barrier.
These
barriers
will
protect
the
operator
and
customers
when
they're
in
close
contact
with
each
other.
O
The
board
is
also
taking
a
month-to-month
approach
and
reviewing
fare
collection,
and
we
are
again
Factory
in
the
coronavirus,
positive
cases
in
our
community
when
the
fare
collection
is
restored.
As
trustee
we
can
I
mentioned,
we
want
to
give
our
riders
30
at
least
a
30
day
notice,
because
it'll
have
a
financial
impact
on
now,
but
I
don't
want
to
caution
that
the
board
is
taking
a
month-to-month
approach
on
at
this
time.
O
Employees
and
customers
will
still
be
required
to
wear
a
face
covering,
and
we
want
riders
to
practice
safe
physical,
distancing
on
the
buses,
regular
cleaning
and
disinfecting
of
buses
will
continue.
Some
buses
will
be
clean
twice
a
day.
Others
will
be
cleaned
once,
but
our
entire
fleet
of
buses
we
clean
every
day.
Additional
cleaning
and
disinfecting
will
increase
expenses
and
consistent
disinfecting
of
buses
will
be.
The
new
normal
postcode
will
also
be
providing
another
option
for
our
customers
to
pay
fares,
gand
cash
and
passes.
O
When
we
start
collecting
fares,
mobile
ticketing
provides
a
hand
free
option
for
it
to
ride
the
bus.
Mobile
ticketing
also
allows
us
allows
for
a
fair
capping,
which
is
very
important
for
our
customers.
Low-Income
customers
cannot
afford
the
upfront
cost
to
buy
a
Monthly
Pass,
so
they
end
up
spending
twice
as
much
money
for
transit
on
a
monthly
basis.
We're
excited
about
adding
mobile
ticketing
and
believe
will
have
a
positive
impact
on
our
customers
and
then
connects
also
providing
additional
wayfinding
and
communication
tools
within
the
bus
with
the
addition
of
interior
displays.
O
Antara
bus
displays
so
for
individuals
who
have
our
who
hearing-impaired
display
will
show
the
next
bus
stop
information.
So
right
now
on
the
bus
and
inside
we
have
automated
vehicle
announcements,
but
those
that
are
hearing-impaired
can't
hear
those
will
have
a
physical
display.
That'll
show
the
next
bus
stop
for
those
individuals.
These
displays
will
also
have
the
ability
to
sell
advertising
for
additional
revenue
opportunities.
The
connection
also
displays
safety,
informational
videos
and
public
service
announcements,
so
we
want
to
take
fully
utilize.
O
O
I
apologize
so
in
regards
to
state
funding,
I
dot
reimburses,
connect
65%
of
our
expenses
and
is
our
largest
funding
source
I
want
to
provide
some
background
on
I
dot
funding
in
towards
transit
agencies,
so
a
portion
the
sales
tax
revenue
collect.
It
goes
to
the
down
state
transit
fund
and
this
funding
isn't
distributed
to
transit
agencies.
So,
during
a
pandemic
sales,
tax
revenue
is
obviously
decrease.
O
Iodized
informed
all
downstate
transit
agencies
that
revenue
is
unknown
beyond
the
first
quarter
and
the
reason
I
believe
that
state
funding
is
in
jeopardy
is
because
the
state
has
requested
five
billion
dollars
in
federal
funds
that
balance
the
current
state
budget.
It's
uncertain
if
this
grant
or
loan
will
be
granted
so
stay
is
also
factoring
in
a
graduated
income.
Tax
they'll
need
to
be
approved
by
Illinois
voters
to
balance
this
budget
so
beyond
the
first
quarter,
which
for
us
ends
on
September
twenty
twenty.
O
We
don't
know
if
we'll
be
in
bursts,
sixty-five
percent,
which
is
required
by
state
statute,
or
it
will
receive
a
reduced
percentage
of
our
expenses
state.
Lawmakers
will
have
to
obviously
make
some
very
tough
decisions
as
we
progressed.
For
this
fiscal
year,
all
right
but
I
do
have
better
better
news
in
terms
of
our
federal
funding,
connect
didn't
receive
nine
point.
1
million
dollars
of
carries
act,
funding
from
the
federal
government
Congress
to
approve
this
funding
to
for
additional
expenses
related
to
the
coronavirus
and
replace
lost
revenue.
Connect
may
have
to
use
all
this
care.
O
Affairs
Act
funding
over
the
next
two
years
to
continue
operating
at
state
funding
is
reduced.
This
pandemic
is
also
emphasize
the
importance
of
having
reserve
funding
connect.
Transit
was
in
a
similar
position
back
in
2016,
when
the
state
did
not
have
the
approved
budget.
We
ended
up
using
all
of
our
reserve.
Funding
continue
providing
service
because
the
state
wasn't
paying
its
suspending
fare
service.
Obviously,
during
this
time,
would
be
devastating
for
our
customers
and
the
community,
and
we
want
to
avoid
that
at
any
cost.
O
So
this
screen
here
just
to
highlight
our
operating
budget
for
fiscal
year
2021,
so
it
connects
budget
is
14.5
million
dollars,
and
this
budget
does
include
I
got
reimbursing
connect
at
65
percent
of
expenses.
It
also
includes
fair
revenue
of
1
million
six
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars.
As
we
talked
a
lot
about
tonight,
we
have
discontinued
fairy
collections,
so
we
have
no
idea
if
we'll
get
one
point,
six,
seven,
five
million
I
think
it's
highly
doubtful
at
this
point
in
time.
O
So
connect
transitive
has
prepared
a
budget
scenario
if
Ida
reduces
our
operating
revenue
due
to
lower
sales
tax
receipts.
This
scenario
shows
a
reduction
of
Ida
funding.
Only
forty
five
percent
of
our
expenses
again
I
want
to
remind
the
council.
We
don't
know
how
much
I
doubt
we'll
reimburse
Connect
for
expenses.
So
this
is
just
a
hypothetical
budget
scenario.
I
wanted
to
show
you
a
show
an
example
to
demonstrate
the
importance
the
investment
made
by
the
city
in
town.
O
If
I'd
out
funding
is
reduced,
so
any
reduction
in
Ida
funding
and
idea
revenue
will
be
replaced
by
our
federal
cares,
Act
funding
and
when
this
has
been
exhausted.
Well,
then
start
using
our
local
reserve
fund.
We
are
in
again
unprecedented
times
and
our
goal
is
to
get
through
this
pandemic
without
having
to
eliminate
service,
because
we
know
our
customers
are
reliant
on
my
essential
transit
service.
O
There
are
eight
potential
sites
that
were
being
reviewed
for
the
transportation
center.
There's
a
survey
that
we're
asking
residents
and
riders
to
fill
out
provide
feedback.
So
if
you
haven't
filled
out,
the
survey
can
be
found
on
connect,
transits
website
or
Facebook
page.
Additionally,
a
public
meeting
will
take
place
next,
Wednesday
July
29th
at
the
PCPA.
You
are
restricting
individuals
up
to
50.
You
have
to
wear
a
mask,
but
this
information
about
this
this
next
meeting
public
meeting
is
also
located
on
our.
C
O
Website
and
we're
asking
for
feedback
in
regards
to
six
questions
pertaining
to
new
transportation,
so
we
believe
a
site.
The
selection
site
study
will
be
done
with
a
final
recommendation
sometime
in
August
or
September.
So
this
concludes
our
update.
Thank
you
for
allowing
China
right,
Ryan,
White,
House,
trustee,
Judy,
Buchanan
and
myself
to
provide
this
update
and
presentation
to
the
council.
K
C
C
K
Like
the
city
I
appreciate
you
looking
at
potential
Co
good
financial
and
impacts,
because
we
have
to
have
plan
so
I
like
like
that.
So
just
a
couple
of
questions
on
things
on
the
working
group.
Some
people
have
told
me
that
the
facilitators
that
were
hired,
I
think
for
$53,000
did
not
complete
their
work
and
if
that's
the
case
is
connect
transit
receiving
any
type
of
a
reef
on
those
services.
K
K
And
as
I
understand
it,
according
to
the
intergovernmental
agreement,
the
the
budget
for
I
think
is
at
2021
for
Connect
transit
was
supposed
to
be
submitted
to
the
city
in
town,
I,
don't
believe
that
was
done
and
if
that's
true
I
guess
what
happened
and
how
can
we
prevent
that
from
happening
in
the
future?
So.
O
We
we
send
out
our
board
packet,
it's
made
public,
we
sent
it.
Obviously,
both
town
and
city
managers
are
both
on
our
board.
It's
a
public
document.
I
am
Not,
sure
and
I
would
need
legal
counsel
from
the
city
in
town
on
the
process
on.
Does
the
city
of
Wilmington
or
the
town
normally
vote
on
that
a
budget
document
for
it
to
be
approved
because
I
don't
know
if
section
8
of
the
IGA
actually
specifically
says
if
they
have
to
approve
it,
I
think
it
talks
about
rejection
of.
A
C
Q
K
Q
We
provide
service
both
those
services
to
because
those
services
provide
very
different
issues.
Fixed
route
is
there
for
individuals
that
can
ride
that
service.
It's
there
on
the
on
the
routine
and
connect
mobility.
Is
there
for
individuals
that
need
to
get
from
point
A
from
their
home
to
a
specific
location,
but
we
value
both
those
services
as
a
system.
K
K
O
Bus
stops
for
FY
2021,
okay,
we
are
starting
on
you
have
most
of
the
design
plans
done
for
most
of
stops
for
FY
2021.
It's
now
just
getting
the
construction
bids
warded,
and
then
they
can
start
the
construction.
Let
me
get
along
it's
a
long
process,
obviously
we're
working
with
both
town
and
city
engineering
departments,
Dave
deferments,
before
we
can
actually
start
construction.
Okay,.
Q
The
better
bus
stop
campaign
has
been
important
to
this
system
and
to
this
board
since,
before
2018
making
progress,
we
are
ramping
everything
up
and
from
our
understanding
by
2024
we'll
have
a
hundred
percent
eighty-eight
compliant,
which
makes
us
one
of
the
very
few,
if
not
the
only
system.
That
has
that
so
we're
looking
forward
to
that.
That's.
D
K
A
K
O
A
You
I
think
I'm
gonna
have
to
I
just
want
to
say
on
that
particular
point.
I
remember
going
through
that
and
in
fact,
in
the
last
election
and
thinking
if
I
lived
out
here,
I
would
hate
government
of
all
forms,
because
it's
like
you've
been
neglected
out
there
and
I
don't
mean
connect,
transit
I
mean
city
of
government
city
government,
others,
it's
really
it's
it's
a
shame
and
we
do
need
to
do
something
about
that.
A
A
F
First
of
all,
Jenna.
Thank
you
all
for
the
presentation
really
appreciate
it.
Isaac
I
think
you
dodged
a
bullet
right
there
at
the
end,
because
I
was
going
to
tell
you
that
white
house
promised
location
revealed
tonight,
but
you
dodged
that
one
with
your
last
slide
so
good
on
you.
There
I
had
a
question
about
I,
keep
hearing
about
the
bus,
stop
near
the
VA
clinic
the
new
VA
clinic
and
I
wondered
if
you
could
address
that
there.
Q
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
opportunity
to
address
that
I
know.
That's
a
concern
first
and
foremost,
connect
trans
that
we
think
veterans
are
very
important
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we
have
that
back
in
July
of
last
year
before
the
VA
was
open,
we
had
a
congressional
delegation
elect
elected
leadership,
state
lawmakers,
VA
groups
in
with
the
VA
and
had
discussions
about
what
we
could
try
to
accomplish
for
that
Center.
Q
So
the
three
things
that
were
kind
of
requested
that
day
were
front
door
delivery.
The
second
one
was
a
new
platform.
Eighty
eight
compliant
the
third
one
was
a
waiver
of
connect,
mobility
to
be
done,
the
second
one
and
the
third
one
we're
done
almost
instantly.
We
do
have
a
88
compliant
pad
at
the
VA
center
and
we
did
waive
all
the
qualifications
for
Connect
mobility.
Q
Let
me
explain
so
for
people
that
are
listening
in
the
council
and
veterans,
anyone
that
is
going
to
use
the
VA
as
long
as
you
live
within
the
bloomington-normal
corporate
limits
can
contact
connect,
transit,
24
hours
prior
to
your
appointment
and
get
door-to-door
service
to
the
VA.
We
will
take
you
from
where
you
are
your
home
right
to
the
VA
for
the
same
cost
right
now,
we're
not
collecting
fares,
but
when
we
do
do
fares
for
the
same
cost
of,
if
you
were
to
do
the
fixed
route,
it's
88
compliant.
Q
Now
we
understand
that
some
would
like
it
to
be
on
the
fixed
route
to
be
there
too.
There
is
hope
in
the
future
for
this,
and
we
know
that
the
city
of
Bloomington
is
working
on
this
and
connect
trance.
It's
also
being
a
partner
on
this
there's
hope
for
that
when
the
Hamilton
Road
expansion
is
done,
that
we
can
provide
this
possible
bus.
That
would
go
right
to
the
front
not
on
the
parking
lot,
because
that's
a
safety
concern
but
can
get
closer
to
that
facility.
Q
F
Thank
you
for
that.
I
appreciate
the
clarification
on
that
because
I
as
somebody
who
served
myself
I've
gotten
a
lot
of
questions
on
that.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
just
make
a
quick
note
of
as
I
beat
you
guys
up
pretty
bad
last
year.
Maybe
the
year
before
that
about
the
large
buses
and
I
know.
We've
talked
about
that
a
lot
and
it's
become
a
running
joke
at
this
point.
But
I
did
read
an
article
and
I've
gosh.
It
was
from
Seattle
I
think
that
actually
talked
about
the
same
issue.
F
They
had
there
and
it
actually
framed
the
conversation
around
those
as
standardizing
on
the
type
of
bus,
similar
to
what
Southwest
Airlines
has
done
by
standardizing
on
the
737,
not
the
Mac's,
the
regular
one,
and
so
that
they
had
one
type
of
plane
to
carry
parts
for
one
type
of
plane
to
fix
one
type
of
plane
to
handle
training
for
and
all
requirements
for,
and
it
actually
lowered
their
cost
to
operate.
That
system
down
quite
a
bit.
F
Q
Thank
thank
you.
Jamie
I,
appreciate
that,
and
we
appreciate
the
little
criticism
if
you
give
us
so
the
bus,
what
you
said
about
Southwest,
that's
exactly
why
we
do
that.
It's
there.
The
other
thing
that
we
have
talked
about
that,
maybe
we
haven't
communicated
as
well
as
we
should
is
just
like
you
build
roads.
You
build
your
infrastructure
for
peak
hours.
We
buy
buses
for
peak
hours.
Q
A
E
Guys,
thanks
for
all
the
information
and
I,
do
know
about
all
the
work,
because
I
attended
all
those
meetings
and
and
I
learned
a
lot.
The
only
question
I
really
well,
not
the
only
question.
I
have
a
question:
if
you
know
how
much
did
you
lose
with
the
covet
I
mean?
Do
you
have
a
number
figure
about
the
loss
for
the
system
yeah.
O
O
O
Know
we
we
talked
in
our
conversations
and
before
partnering
with
the
clean
car
engine
planning.
Obviously
we
want
them
to
use
the
short
range
transit
plan
to
look
at
things
that
they've
recommended
that
we
do
in
that
document,
but
also
other
areas
where
we
have
service
gaps
in
the
community
to
take
a
look
at
those
and
we
don't
have
connect,
transit
doesn't
have
a
motive
here
on.
This
is
where
we
want
to
put
service.
O
You
really
want
to
go
out
and
just
ask
the
community
when
we're
allowed
to
have
that
input
from
them,
saying
where
do
we
need
service?
Where
are
some
of
the
gaps?
Obviously
the
staff
level
will
think
on
regional
planning.
We
know
where
some
service
gaps
already
are,
but
what
the
community
tell
us.
Where
would
you
like
to
see
additional
services
and
then,
as
the
workgroup
recommendations
have
stated,
we
would
come
back
and
ask
the
town
and
state
to
fund
those
additional
services.
Council.
Q
Member
Boland,
thanks
for
the
questions,
I,
think
on
top
of
what
Isaac
has
said,
the
board
of
directors
has
kind
of
given
the
direction
I'm
gonna
use
this
word,
but
I
don't
have
a
better
word
of
Connect
trains,
it's
kind
of
in
survival
mode,
we're
not
dying.
We're
not!
You
know,
broke
right
now,
but
what
I'm
saying
and
by
that
is
right.
Q
We're
just
trying
to
study
everything
and
once
we
get
through
this
will
really
be
ramping
up
those
conversations
with
stakeholders
and
all
the
community
and
City
Council
members
about
where
we
can
either
add
or
adjust
service
so,
but
for
right
now,
I
think
direction
of
the
board
to
the
staff
is:
let's
just
study
the
bus
system
for
now.
I
do.
E
I
do
know
that
part
of
the
ask
for
the
additional
funding
is
to
address
the
structural
deficit,
so
I'm,
aware
of
that
that
that's
part
of
it
and
the
other
question
I
have
is
how
did
the
board
come
to
determine
the
items
that
are
on
the
executive
summary?
Was
that
voted
on
at
a
board
meeting
or
some
other
process
through.
Q
So
you're
talking
about
the
one
rate
for
all
and
everything
yeah
we
we
did.
We
voted
on
those
Judy
help
me
here,
a
memory
cuz
being
locked
up
I
think
two
months
ago
we
voted
on
that
to
implement
that.
So
the
board
has
reviewed
that
we
did
approve
the
original
plan
when
we
looked
at
that
the
board
listened
to
the
group
and
Judy's
work
and
the
working
groups
work,
and
then
we
took
those
issues
that
you
have
so
that
Isaac
presented
on
today
and
decided
to
try
to
implement
those
as
soon
as
possible.
P
Wanted
to
note
that
it
was
in
January
that
the
recommendations
were
presented
to
the
board,
which
included
all
the
items
and
more
that
we
discussed
this
evening
that
was
approved
by
the
board,
but
prior
to
that
had
been
unanimously
approved
by
the
workgroup
and,
as
has
been
mentioned,
we
looked
at
those
that
we
could
begin
working
on
and
implementing
sooner
rather
later.
And
so
that's
that's
been
the
impetus
but
and
everything
that
we've
done
on
this
in
the
way
of
taking
public
action
has
been
approved
by
the
board.
Okay,.
A
A
J
A
Okay
motion
carries
we're
we're
ten
minutes
further
and
just
it's
also
to
clarify.
If
you've
got
empirical
questions
on
things,
they
should
should
be
able
to
be
answered
almost
immediately
or
you
can.
We
can
do
those
outside
of
our
meeting
at
this
point,
so
we
can
continue
to
go
I'm,
gonna,
return
back
to
I,
believe
council
member
who
was
I
on
black
I'm.
Sorry,
yes,.
R
Thank
you,
Thank
You
Terry
and
thank
you,
connect,
transit,
Isaac
and
Judy
and
and
Ryan
appreciate
your
time
just
at
a
high
level.
You
know,
I
know
that
interest
in
what
I
have
to
say
is
going
to
be
waning
more
and
more
quickly,
but
what
I
would
throw
out
there
is
that
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
tackle
the
intergovernmental
agreement
before
the
end
of
the
year.
Jeff
pointed
out
very
fairly
that
there's
some
ambiguity
around.
You
know
at
least
the
budget
projection,
and
you
know
we've
kind
of
seen
how
that
creates
confusion.
R
R
Q
A
P
No
thank
you
Scott
and
I.
Think
the
board
will
stand
behind
you
and
other
members
of
the
council
and
encourage
you
to
to
work
on
that
agreement,
because
it
really
does
represent
the
partnership
and
what
the
expectations
are.
So
the
more
clear
that
becomes
I
think
the
better
we
will
be
able
to
perform
our
duties.
Definitely.
R
And
you
know
my
last
point,
just
briefly
is
that
you
know
I
think
the
theme
for
the
next
few
months
for
me
is
going
to
be.
You
know,
put
your
put
your
money
to
it.
You
know
where's
the
money
and-
and
you
know
we
talk
a
lot
about
inequities
and
structural
changes.
Men
talked
about
this
for
years.
I
think
in
that
transit
should
be
entirely
fair,
free
and,
and
we
should
put
money
towards
that
goal.
I,
don't
know
what
that
looks.
R
Like
you
know,
more
than
just
one
route,
I
think
the
whole
whole
system
should
be
free
yeah,
and
maybe
we
use
our
upcoming
weed
money,
and
maybe
the
town
of
normal
can
do
that
as
well
to
fund
that,
and
that
would
be
a
revenue
source.
So
you
know
I
think
that's
important.
It's
a
critical
service
for
people,
it's
an
economic
development
tool
and
I.
You
know.
R
A
G
So
this
this
is
kind
of
piggybacking
on
what
all
and
black
just
said,
and
thank
you
for
your
your
presentation
and
time.
We
so
in
a
way
I'm
wondering
just
really
wondering
if
we
have
a
natural
experiment
available
now
that
we've
had
free
transit,
I
know
that
Kovac
creates
a
completely
different
context,
but
I'm
just
curious
I
know
that
we
don't
get
a
lot
of
revenue
from
our
fares
in
general
and
I
know.
The
system
has
structural
challenges,
but
it
might
be
worth
studying.
G
You
know
how
this
played
out
at
this
time
since
we
haven't
been
charging
fare
for
a
while
and
at
this
point
I
don't
know
if
and
when
that
will
change
in
the
near
future,
and
my
second
question
is
just
to
clarify
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
public
discussion
on
the
29th
at
the
BC
PA
and
there
will
be
registration
information
on
the
connect
transit
website,
and
you
referred
to
six
questions.
Is
this
specifically
regarding
the
discussion
about
the
transit
station
and
where
it
will
be
located,
or
is
this
more?
G
A
O
The
six
questions
that
we're
asking
or
already
on
our
website,
we're
asking
people
to
just
be
thinking
about
the
questions
on
what
kind
of
amenities
do
you
want
at
the
new
transportation
center?
Or
what
do
you
like
most
about
it?
Now?
What
would
you
like
to
see
changed?
We
also
have
a
survey
also
that
people
can
fill
out
and
we
want
people
to
fill
out.
It's
also
located
on
our
our
website
as
well.
So
the
survey
and
the
six
questions
are
a
little
bit
different.
We're
not
going
to
be
live-streaming
the
BCP
a
meeting.
O
N
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation
and
for
the
work
with
the
workgroup
I'm
really
happy
to
see
the
recommendations
come
back
to
us,
so
I
just
want
to
retweet
alderman
Black
about
the
intergovernmental
agreement.
I
think
that
definitely
needs
to
get
landed
before
the
end
of
the
year
and
then
also
a
retweet
on
the
fair
free
system
funded
by
Potter,
otherwise,
and
definitely
think
that
we
have
a
really
good
experiment
that
we
didn't
intend
for
that
we
can.
We
can
take
a
lot
of
learnings
away.
I
guess!
N
My
only
comment
is
you
know:
I
get
a
lot
of
constituents
that
reach
out
about
the
accessibility
issue
in
terms
of
the
bus
stops.
That
continues
to
be
the
number
one
issue
that
folks
bring
to
me
and
so,
for
my
part,
I
guess:
I
want
to
say
I
that
I
don't
want
to
continue
to
hear
the
sidewalk
issue
as
the
reason
that
we
can't
achieve
greater
levels
of
accessibility
for
the
bus
system,
because
I
think
like
we
should
take
on
that
bite
right.
N
So
I
I
want
to
see
the
advocates
that
connect
transit
hold
the
fire
to
artbeat,
as
elected
officials.
Like
we
have
a
good
working
relationship
but
I
think
that
what
whatever
you
all
need
in
terms
of
sidewalks
like,
let
us
have
that
fight
if
we
need
to
have
it,
but
don't
let
that
be
a
reason
that
we
can't
improve
the
system
as
quickly
as
possible,
because
that's
the
main
thing
people
I,
don't
think
nobody's
opposed
to
the
transportation
center.
N
Q
You,
council
members,
thank
you
for
those
comments.
We
at
connect
transit
want
to
do
that
too,
and
we're
trying
our
best.
Let
me
shout
out
to
your
city
manager,
since
he
has
come
to
the
community
and
and
with
our
staff
with
Isaac
as
well.
Our
staff
is
in
constant
contact
with
your
city
planners
and
the
city
manager
staff
about
future
developments.
When
we're
talking
about
that
stuff,
so
transit
is
at
the
table.
In
the
past
we
possibly
weren't
I'm
not
pulling
fingers
it's
just.
Q
It
probably
wasn't
top
of
mind
for
everybody,
but
your
administration
has
allowed
us
to
be
top
of
mind
when
we're
looking
at
developments
and
we
will
work
and
we
will,
we
will
try
to
hold
you
guys
accountable
in
a
polite
way.
We
will
do
our
part
with
a
partnership
with
the
city
of
Wilmington
to
make
sure
that
we're
a
hundred
percent
eighty
eight
compliant
by
2024.
It.
A
You
very
much
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
move
on
and
we
appreciate
Isaac
Ryan
Judy.
Thank
you
for
joining
us.
Thank
you
for
all
your
work.
Thank
you.
We're
gonna
move
right
on
to
presentation,
discussion,
the
public
safety
and
Community
Relations
Board
annual
report,
as
requested
by
the
administration,
and
at
this
point
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
turn
over
extra
to
mr.
Gleason
if
he
wants
to
introduce
Arthur
Taylor
who's.
A
The
previous
chair
of
the
Public
Safety
Community
Relations
Board,
and
we
have
a
20-minute
presentation
about
a
ten-minute
council
discussion
and
let
me
just
also
clarify
here.
Our
discussion
does
need
to
be
germane
to
the
to
the
report
that
the
Commission
is
is
presenting
to
us.
If
we
have
broader
issues
as
we
certainly
are
going
to
consider
a
reform
of
our
law
enforcement
system,
we
should
do
those
either
separately
by
automatic
request,
or
you
can
just
talk
to
me
and
city
manager
Gleeson
and
we
will
be
sure
to
we'll
work
something
out.
A
D
S
S
My
term
recently
ended
and
the
annual
report
was
was
put
forth
by
me
at
the
last
meeting
that
I
chaired
and
then
our
election
for
new
chairs
and
vice-chair
took
place.
I
was
delegated
to
to
perform
this
duty
and
and
share
the
report.
So
I
speak
on
behalf
of
the
past
vice
chair,
Jan
Lancaster,
and
the
current
board
chair,
Robert
Vasquez
and
current
board
Vice
Chair
Reverend
William
Bennett
in
addition
of
Sarina
fish,
Sally,
Rudolph
and
Jeff
Woodard.
S
So
those
are
the
members
of
the
board,
and
this
is
the
annual
report
of
the
PSC
RB,
which
was
established
in
2017,
and
this
brief
summary
of
the
activities
of
the
PSC
rbr
has
followed
the
following:
highlights:
our
the
review
of
board
rules
and
materials,
developed
review
of
monthly
and
quarterly
meeting
dates,
presentation
to
and
feedback
from,
the
community
reports
on
complaints
presented
and
board
rule
amendments.
So
the
review
of
this,
the
review
is
one
that
was
established
with
by
our
board
rules.
S
When
we
first
came
into
existence
and
the
psvr
be
held
its
first
meeting
in
of
jet
on
January
of
2019
on
January
19
excuse
me
January,
9
2019,
the
board
was
sworn
in.
Introductions
of
the
board.
Members
were
made,
staff
and
Bloomington
Police,
Department,
chief
and
assistant
Chiefs
and
enacting
ordinance
was
reviewed.
We
discussed
our
discussions
were
coordinated
and
the
topics
included.
S
S
The
review
of
our
monthly
and
quarterly
meeting
dates
we
were
established
and
our
monthly
meeting
dates
were
established
for
the
second
Wednesday
of
each
month.
Our
quarterly
meetings
were
scheduled
for
the
third
Wednesday
of
each
quarter.
Meeting
places
were
all
were
alternated
between
the
city
hall,
YWCA,
community
room,
Wayman,
AME,
Church,
Mount,
Pisgah,
Baptist,
Church,
myth,
Central,
Community,
Action
and
City
of
Refuge
ministries
and
I'll
pause
here
from
the
report
of
the
the
alternating
meeting
date
of
locations.
S
However,
one
of
the
reasons
for
us
alternating
locations
was
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
presenting
an
image
and
responding
to
issues
that
were
raised
to
us
at
the
quarterly
meeting
that
we
were
too
close
to
the
police
department
and
that
not
being
our
charge.
We
decided
that
best
for
image
sakes
to
move
our
meetings
around
and
we
were
successful
in
doing
that.
We've
not
met
at
the
Bloomington
Police
Department
since
that
time,
presentations
and
feedback
from
the
community
dialogue
sessions.
S
The
monthly
meetings
included,
include
reports
from
the
Bloomington
Police
on
the
number
of
complaints
received
in
previous
months.
Year-To-Date
in
pending
of
those
pending
investigation,
future
meeting
dates,
locations
and
pending
discussions
items
were
also
discussed.
The
Bloomington
Police
reported
that
for
2019
there
were
11
total
complaints
received
compared
with
20
total
complaints
were
20,
18
and
15
for
2017
topics
at
the
quarterly
meeting.
S
Was
there
clarity
that,
after
the
Bloomington
Police
Department
sends
its
response,
a
person
must
complete
a
PS
CRB
form
to
request
a
review
by
the
PSC
RB.
Our
fears
of
completing
a
PSC
are
B
form
being
addressed
by
the
processes
of
the
Bloomington
Police
Department
and
that
the
PSC
RB
have
established.
S
S
I
will
tell
you
that
the
consensus
from
not
only
the
board
and
from
the
stakeholders
and
those
comments
from
the
community
did
indicate
and
strongly
believed
that
the
PSC
RB
serves
a
an
important
role
in
the
community
and
then.
Lastly,
a
report
on
the
complaints
that
were
presented
to
us,
the
PSC
RB,
received
its
first
request
for
review
in
January
2019
through
the
city
legal
department.
S
The
report
was
19
R
0
1.
The
board
reviewed
the
citizens
request
for
review
and
requested
additional
documents
from
the
Bloomington
Police
Department
and
legal
department
following
its
established
board
rules
and
maintained
confidentiality
guidelines.
The
Board
found
that
the
Bloomington
Police
Department
had
followed
its
complaint
review
process
exonerating
a
police
officer
in
question
and
did
not
recommend
any
policy
or
practice
revisions.
S
The
PSE
RB
received
its
second
request
for
review
in
December
2019
through
the
city
legal
department,
and
that
was
19
R
zero,
zero
two
information
gap
was
gathered
and
prepared
for
a
review
of
the
board
which
occurred
in
January
of
2020.
I
will
tell
you
the
result
of
that
review
since
the,
since
the
the
complaint
did
kind
of
cross
from
one
year
into
the
next.
The
results
will
be
included
in
the
annual
report
in
2020.
S
Following
all
established
boardrooms
and
maintaining
confidentiality
guidelines.
The
board
found
the
Bloomington
Police
Department
had
followed
its
complaint
review
process
exonerating
the
police
officer
in
question.
The
board
did
recommend
that
policy
language
be
written
to
ensure
the
timeliness
and
commute
of
communication
to
citizens
when
their
Illinois
vehicle
code
violations
are
voided,
cancelled
or
removed.
S
The
first
sentence
that
the
board
show
an
annually
on
the
first
meeting
in
May
elect
its
chair
and
vice-chair,
and
then
we
added
to
paragraph
1,
section
3
that
the
board
or
designee
shall
be
a
liaison
to
the
City
Council
for
purposes
of
reporting
board
pert
the
board
to
the
board
pertinent
City
Council
activities.
That
more
or
less
concludes
my
report.
A
N
You
mayor
and
thank
you
art
for
that
presentation.
I'm
glad
you
got
voluntold
because
I
think
what
mean
delegated
was
code
for
voluntold,
so
so
a
quick
question
so,
where
you
ended
was
conversation
around
police
reform
and
I.
N
Just
you
know,
as
a
point
of
information
want
to
revisit
something
that
was
brought
up
to
me
a
few
months
ago,
which
is
that
my
understanding
was
that,
given
that
the
welcoming
city
ordinance
failed
to
pass
in
the
City
Council
that
there
was
a
directive
from
the
mayor
that
was
given
to
the
chief
at
the
time
chief
wheeler
to
work
with
the
p.m.
CRB
to
craft
some
language
that
would
go
into
our
police
policy,
around
interactions
with
ice.
Did
that
ever
happen
and
did
we
did
we
publicize
that?
No.
S
The
board
by
unanimous
consent,
basically
agreed
that
it
was
outside
of
the
spectrum
of
what
the
PSC
RB
was
established
for,
and
we
had
those
discussions
with
the
mayor
to
to
more
or
less
explain
the
board's
view
of
that
and
were
awaiting
some
additional
dialogue
about
that.
So
we
never
engaged
in
that
conversation
whatsoever.
N
Thanks,
so
I
guess.
The
second
question
is
yeah
one
of
the
things
that
I
that
I
heard
well
and
this
this
came
up
when
you
were
talking
about
the
meetings
being
held
at
the
police
department,
but
some
lack
of
clarity
around
what
the
role
of
the
police
is
within
the
PSC
RB.
So
you
know,
are
they
the
folks
who
are
facilitating
the
meetings
or
you
know,
setting
agendas
or
like
so
who
determines
basically
what
happens
at
a
PSCR
be
meeting
the.
S
Board
chair
sets
the
agenda.
The
police
are
present
as
our
staff
from
the
city
legal
department,
Lord,
Duke
Rich's,
is
there
for
clerical
and
administrative
consultation
and
the
Bloomington
Police
are
there
to
report
out
for
what
the
complaints
are
and
any
questions
that
the
board
members
may
have.
The
police
don't
set
our
agenda.
They
are
a
part
of
our
agenda.
We
because
we
expect
a
report
from
them
at
each
meeting
and
unless
there
are
questions
that
board
members
raise
to
clarify
issues
that
that
may
be
pertinent
to
the
business
of
the
PSC
RB,
there's
they're.
S
N
Question:
okay,
yeah,
so
my
last
question
I
guess
a
little
bit
of
a
comment
and
then
a
question
so
as
one
of
the
folks
who
advocated
for
the
creation
of
the
PSC
RB-
and
you
know,
working
with
a
lot
of
other
organizations
in
the
community
like
not
in
our
town
and
double-a-c-p,
so
on
I
think
you
know.
The
original
proposal
for
the
PSC
RB
was
a
four
that
would
have
a
little
bit
more
power
than
then
what
you
all
ended
up
getting.
So
it
was
never
really
I.
N
Don't
think
thought
of
that
the
only
function
of
the
PSC
RB
would
be
to
review
complaints.
Some
of
those
initial
recommendations
included
giving
the
board
anything.
You
know
from
subpoena
power
an
opportunity
at
a
first
review
of
police
complaints
and
the
power
to
do
proactive
policy
recommendations
that
would
be
fraught
to
Council
on
a
more
regular
basis.
So
I
guess
my
question
to
you.
Art
is
given
the
the
national
context
that
we
find
ourselves
in.
N
S
We
live
within
the
guidelines
that
the
City
Council
set
for
us,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
pushed
back
on
the
initial
conversation
around
the
welcoming
city's
ordinance
because
we
didn't
feel
like
it
was
within
our
lane.
We
we
were
requested
by
by
Tim
to
mr.
Gleason,
to
to
conduct
dialogue
sessions
with
reference
to
recommendations
for
what
the
citizens
wanted
to
see
in
the
next
police
chief.
We
conducted
public
hearings
on
that
and
made
recommendations
to
mr.
S
Gleason
and
the
mayor
as
to
what
we
saw
is
what
citizens
believe
the
next
police
chief
should
look
like.
We
felt
like
that
was
definitely
within
our
lane
and
with
reference
to
the
relationships
between
the
community
and
the
Bloomington
Police
Department,
the
PSC
RB
has
always
seen
itself
as
a
bridge
between
the
general
community
and
the
Bloomington
Police
Department,
which
is
why,
during
our
quarterly
meetings
we
take,
we
take
add
to
our
agendas
on
a
quarterly
basis.
S
Dialogue
that
includes
a
dialogue
from
the
police
to
the
community
and
question
and
answer
periods
that
will
allow
us
to
address
concerns
that
the
community
may
have
and
open
dialogue
is
encouraged.
So
we,
the
the
PSA
RB
as
far
as
additional
things
that
you
have
suggested
if,
if
it
is
the
if
it's
the
desire
of
the
City
Council
and
the
mayor
and
the
city
manager
that
we
should
have
additional
issues,
as
you
say,
it
quote-unquote
additional
teeth
to
make
recommendations
outside
the
purview.
Of
that
we
were
originally
established.
To
do.
A
Taylor,
thank
you
very
much.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
on
that,
even
though
we
now
are
eight
minutes
in
out
of
our
ten
on
this
matter,
but
I
just
wanted
to
clarify.
I
have
asked
mr.
boss
quest
to
ask
me
to
move
forward
with
the
Police
Review
Board
to
conduct
some
public
hearings
as
to
what
reforms
in
our
general
process
are
necessary
to
make
recommendations
back
to
the
City
Council
about
demilitarization
or
other
kinds
of
things
that
we
might
pursue
in
the
future.
A
K
K
I
understand
it
too,
so
when
a
complaint
is
filed
with
the
PSCR,
be
the
the
complaint
processes
reviewed,
not
the
underlying
allegations.
For
instance,
if
there's
an
allegation
of
excessive
force,
the
PSC
RB
would
not
review
whether
excessive
force
was
used,
but
whether
proper
protocols
are
followed
by
the
police
in
the
investigation.
Is
that
true,
that's
correct?
Okay?
S
K
S
A
that's,
that's
a
good
question
and
I'm
not
really
sure
that
we
have
the
time
or
the
place
to
really
get
into
to
intent
when,
when
we
talk
about
whether
or
not
I
think
that
we
should
have
additional
teeth.
As
far
as
though,
as
far
as
the
board
is
concerned,
when
when
the
board
was
established,
we
were
established
with
with
very
strict
guidelines
that
we
have
taken
painstakingly.
S
Time
and
dedication
to
make
sure
that
we
stay
and
live
within,
which
is
why
I
mentioned
that,
if,
if
it's,
the
desire
of
the
of
the
police
of
the
mayor
and
the
city
manager
to
add
some
additional
responsibilities
to
the
PSCR,
be
you
are
within
the
purview
of
your
responsibilities.
To
make
that
happen,
I
will
tell
you
that
board
members
would
would
definitely
be
amenable
to
to
whatever
role
we
were.
We
were
charged
with
doing
and
would
carry
that
out
with
the
best
of
our
ability.
Thank.
R
Is
that
there's
a
lot
of
misinformation
out
there?
People
have
called
me
demanding
that
we
do
police
reward
which
we
have.
We
are
the
only
local
government
in
the
immediate
area
that
does
it
and
people.
That's
demand
that
we
do
body
cameras.
We
already
do
body
cameras,
so
you
know.
Can
we
do
better?
Of
course
you
know
and
that's
why
I'm
really
excited
me.
R
Twelve
months
ago
we
were
even
having
a
conversation
publicly
if
we
should
keep
the
board
going,
which
I
think
is
we
absolutely
should,
but
because
of
the
the
so
few
complaints,
so
I
I'm
excited
for
what
the
future
holds.
I
think
a
robust
public
conversations
what's
demanded
right
now,
so
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
the
board
and
doing
all
we
can
thank.
S
You
often
black
I'll
say
that
the
the
members
of
the
board
have
taken
their
responsibilities
extremely
seriously
and
are
extremely
dedicated
to
to
doing
a
good
job.
We
realized
that
it's
not
our
role
to
encourage
complaints
and
and
I
want
you
to
to
make
sure
that
you
understand
where
I'm
coming
from
when,
when
we
as
board
members
believe
it's
in
it's
very
important
that
people
understand
the
process
and
typically
our
first
quarterly
meeting
of
every
year.
It's
our
it's
our
role
to
go
through.
S
The
first
thing
that
popped
into
my
mind
is:
how
are
we
going
to
get
a
public
meeting
in
in
a
in
a
zoom
call?
Well
that
those
are
those
details
we
can
do
we'll
have
to
work
through
and
we'll
have
to
work
work.
Those
those
things
out,
because
it's
of
course,
it's
ideal
to
have
that
in
a
public
setting,
but
due
to
the
restrictions
that
that
we're
all
living
under
we'll
have
to
figure
out
the
best
way
to
make
that
happen.
S
But
we're
definitely
encouraged
by
first
of
all
the
faith
that
the
mayor
and
the
city
manager
in
you
guys
have
placed
in
on
us.
And
it's
it's
my
job
as
past
chairman
to
make
sure
that
you
guys
understand
how
much
we,
how
seriously
we
take
that
role
in
how
much
we
look
forward
to
being
continuing
to
be
the
bridge
between
the
community
and
the
police
department.
Thank.
A
M
Okay,
okay,
all
right
so
I.
First
of
all,
I
wanted
to
thank
art
for
his
work
on
the
board.
Being
the
first
chairman
and
being
one
of
the
first
members
of
the
board,
I
think
he
helps
to
establish
the
culture
for
how
the
board
was
going
to
to
do
its
work
and
I
think
it's
going
to
carry
over
in
future
years.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
very
much.
I
also
wanted
to
to
get
a
sense
of
just
generally
from
your
opinion.
M
You
know
what
the
attendance
has
been
like
at
the
board
meetings
just
to
get
a
sense
of
you
know
the
level
of
interest
and
I'm
sure
there
will
be
more
now,
but
I
just
wanted
to
get
that
that
time
from
your
classwork
and
if
there's
also
anything
without
necessarily
looking
to
encourage
complaints,
but
well
we
can
there
anything
the
council
can
do
or
the
board
can
do
to
make
it
easier
for
people
to
to
come
and
express
your
concern.
Part.
S
We've
had
other
quarterly
meetings
that
have
not
been
as
well
attended,
the
ones
that
we
had
all
be
a
zoo.
You
know
you
saw
the
results
of
what
that
is.
So
that's
that's
kind
of
discouraging
from
from
from
the
perspective
of
what
the
what
the
COBIT
has
done
for
us
in
in
the
way
of
holding
public
meetings,
but
that
does
not
necessarily
mean
that
that
the
topic
that
that
we're
going
to
be
discussing
in
the
very
near
future.
It's
not
something.
S
That's
going
to
it's
going
to
be
extremely
interesting
for
the
community
to
take
part
in
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
when
we
do
get
around
to
determining
how
many
sessions
and
what
the
topics
are
going
to
be
and
what
the
questions
are
going
to
be
and
and
how
how
our
stakeholders
from
that
representing
different
factions
within
the
community.
How
they're
going
to
react
to
some
of
those
to
some
of
those
of
some
of
those
discussions.
S
The
input
that
you
guys
will
have
in
some
of
in
some
of
the
groundwork,
that's
going
to
be
laid
for
the
discussions
that
are
going
to
be
had
all
those
things
give
me
encouragement
to
say
that
you're,
the
perfect
group
to
hold
these
and
facilitate
these
discussions
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
them.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
once
again,
thank
you
and
think
it
you
will,
if
they'll
take
that
information
and
and
to
thanks
and
the
accolades
you've
gotten
from
our
council
back
to
the
board.
We
appreciate
that
and
we
look
forward
to
seeing
what
recommendations
in
public
hearings
you
can
do
and
again
it
doesn't
have
to
always
be
zoom.
I
didn't
specify
timetable.
I
said
sometimes
the
next
several
months.
So
hopefully
it's
not
just
zoom
yeah.
There
are
other
possibilities
to
get
people
involved.
A
At
this
point,
we're
gonna
move
on
to
counsel
initiatives,
and
we
have
a
council
initiative
and
this
again
I'm
holding
them,
but
this
I'm
holding
everybody
few
down
to
three
minutes:
okay,
so
council,
member
mmillin,
well
you've
got
three
minutes
to
explain
what
you're
proposing
and
we've
got
a
very
like
you:
either
say
yes,
no
or
maybe
one
or
two
sentences
when
I
circle
back
around.
So
in
other
words,
we
want
to
know
whether
or
not
this
is
an
initiative
that
the
council
wants
to
talk
about
in
the
future.
M
Right,
okay,
all
right,
so
thank
you
also
give
me
the
opportunity
to
discuss
this
particular
initiative.
I,
don't
always
submit
casual
initiatives,
but
when
I
do
it's
about
juicing
Juneteenth
is
a
celebration
that
originated
in
Texas
and
I'm,
saying
this
for
the
benefit
of
our
audience
when
on
June
19th
865,
a
General
Gordon
Granger
from
the
Union
Army
regular
education
Proclamation,
two
stories,
McAllister
more
than
two
years
after
the
Emancipation
Proclamation
had
been
announced
by
president
Oakley,
so
yeah
inner-city
holiday
camera
came
about
for
me
around
Juneteenth.
M
Interestingly,
as
I
was
listening
to
a
radio
program
and
their
main
takeaway
from
the
program
was
they
were,
there
are
quite
a
few
Americans
who
are
not
aware
of
what
unity
in
central.
So
within
the
last
month,
my
thoughts
have
evolved
to
the
point
where
I
could
week
I
think
we
could
achieve
the
same
goals
by
pairing
and
observance
with
some
really
impactful
programming,
and
why
do
I
think
it's
important
to
to
learn
about
this
day?
M
You
know
whether
you're
African
Americans
or
not
is
because
slavery
and
the
racial
discrimination
that
they
have
been
African
Americans
have
been
subjected
to
has
been
pretty
significant
and
if
we're
going
to
live
work
and
play
together
in
this
community,
I
think
it's
important
that
we
understand
what
matters
to
each
other.
As
you
probably
realize
it
took
George
Roy
dying
on
the
street.
M
That's
one
of
the
whole
world
for
many
to
be
awakened
to
the
concerns
of
African
Americans,
and
it
also
took
something
like
Oviatt
for
many
to
be
awakened
to
the
health
experiments
faced
by
people
of
color,
particularly
African
Americans.
So
to
me,
teeth
can
only
serve
to
for
us
who
to
learn
about
this
particular
day,
but
also
about
the
contemporary
struggles
of
African
Americans
in
our
career,
and
this
would
be
an
opportunity
for
us
to
reflect
on
the
pressing
issues
facing
the
community
and,
as
we
mentioned,
we
have
some
upcoming
conversations
with
the
PSCR
we.
M
M
In
addition
to
those
conversations,
I
think
Juneteenth
can
take
the
character
of
the
celebration
I've
seen
in
many
other
places
where
people
have
done
parades,
they've
done
concerts
and
plays
like
that,
and
this
is
where
I
think
the
the
possibility
of
economic
development
can
come
into
play
when
we
can
make
this
event
in
this
particular
day.
Something
really
really
really
big
and
in
between
Chicago
and
fruitless
I
think
we'll
be
share
that
we
need
for
us
to
have
something
like
that.
M
M
We
have
very
capable
commissioners,
we
have
staff
supporting
them
who
bring
a
wealth
of
experience
to
bear
and
in
addition,
we
also
had
a
number
of
other
groups
who
are
participating
in
GMT
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
you
know
we
do
have
one
of
our
distinguished
council
members.
Part
of
this
is
ekiden
directive
between
counties.
In
history,
between
County
Museum
of
History,
in
collaboration
with
the
normal
black
history
project,
work
done
Juneteenth
this
year,
but
unfortunately
was
overdue.
M
So
there's
things
like
that
I
think
need
to
be
publicized
and
actually
boosted
in
order
for
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
the
kind
of
impact
that
we're
looking
to
have
and
I
can
also
envision.
We've
talked
about
the
Mauritian
talked
about
the
downtown
and
I
can
envision
some
programming
that
will
help
to.
M
A
Victoria
has
a
national
reputation,
it's
maybe
an
international
reputation.
Thank
you.
Yeah
at
this
point,
I'm
just
gonna
go
around
the
you.
Can
some
of
you've
got
your
hands
up?
There's
no
point
to
having
your
hands
up
because
I'm
only
going
to
one
person
at
a
time,
I'm
a
Solomon
mathy
and
either
yes,
no
or
you
got
a

that's
about
it,
so
I'm
gonna
start
with
Ward

Altima
manthang.
Yes,.

Next
item
number
three
just
wanted
to
remind
everyone
that
no
time
to
relax
since
this
2020
that
is
extended
through
October
31st.
So
we
still
need
to
you
know
just
make
sure
that
we
get
out
register
and
even
the
clerk's
comments
earlier
tonight,
talks
about
the
impacts
if
we
lose
just
a
single
headcount
regarding
our
census.
D
Next
item
that
I
want
to
just
share
that
the
city
will
continue
to
search
for
those
responsible
for
the
recent
KKK
fliers
on
Sunday
July
12th
I,
publicly
shared
how
critical
it
is
to
take
a
comprehensive
investigative
approach
to
finding
who
is
at
fault
to
be
clear.
If
there
is
any
misunderstanding,
I
am
NOT
suggesting
the
local
BLM
chapter
was
involved.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
clarify
this.
Dialogue
is
important
part
of
building
community
as
a
community.
D
We
must
continue
to
work
together
to
make
Bloomington
and
even
greater
community
a
community
than
it
already
is
again.
This
type
of
behavior
will
not
be
tolerated
here
and
I
will
act
within
my
power
and
authority
to
address
incidents
like
this.
The
conversations
regarding
race
and
police
relationships
are
important
ones
and
crucial
crucial
to
keep
top
of
mind.
This
is
of
the
utmost
importance
to
me.
I
appreciate
the
efforts
of
our
police
officers
and
community
groups,
which
are
all
essential
and
whose
partnership
is
in
fact
is
invaluable.
D
D
Statistics
will
be
forthcoming
to
share
at
a
later
meeting
if
they
aren't
wrapped
up
today,
they're
going
to
be
wrapped
up
in
the
next
day
or
two
Public
Works
crew,
everybody
saw
the
weather
that
they
had
to
work
and
they
did
an
excellent
job
and
extreme
weather
conditions
and
have
quite
a
few
compliments
out
of
the
community.
So
with
that
said,
mayor
and
council,
that's
all
I've
got.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
