A
Okay,
good
evening,
everyone
yep
I
got
the
thumbs
up,
so
we're
we're
good
same
time.
A
Did
I
hear
someone
say
something:
am
I
hearing
voices,
okay,
okay,
all
right,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
call
to
order
the
speeding
of
this
Bloomington
city
of
Bloomington
Committee
of
the
whole
and
Madame
clerk.
Would
you
please
call
the
roll.
B
A
Wow,
okay,
we're
gonna,
I,
guess
we're
gonna
move
on
then
we're
gonna
move
to
the
next
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
the
mayor's
annual
address.
This
is
not
going
to
be
quite
as
fancy
as
the
State
of
the
Union,
but
you
know
just
a
chance
for
me
to
share
a
few
thoughts
on
and
reflect
on.
You
know:
what's
happened
this
past
year.
A
I
wanted,
therefore,
to
kick
off
this
Committee
of
the
whole
meeting
by
taking
some
time
to
reflect
on
all
the
city
of
Bloomington
has
achieved
last
year
from
enhancing
our
infrastructure
to
providing
better
Public
Services.
The
city
of
Bloomington
has
so
much
to
be
proud
of.
A
They
also
attended
to
the
more
than
1300
potholes
that
were
reported,
Street
resurfacing
and
preservation
work
along
with
bringing
sidewalks
into
ADA
compliance
kept
Crews
on
the
Move
in
2022,
with
10.8
million
dollars
being
invested
in
repairs
to
our
roads,
sidewalks
and
sewers.
Last
year
alone,
expansion
could
be
thought
of
as
the
word
of
the
year
in
Bloomington
as
we
broke
ground
on
a
new
1.2
million
dollar
South
American
exhibit
and
opened
a
new
Sullivan
rorscheib
educational
theater
at
Miller
Park
Zoo.
A
As
we
continue
to
build
on
that
Foundation.
We
are
also
focused
on
building
a
strong
Workforce
in
our
community
through
Partnerships
with
the
EDC
and
the
McLean
County
Chamber
of
Commerce.
We
are
all
working
to
attract
talented
individuals
to
our
community,
with
all
we
have
to
offer.
Drawing
the
best
and
brightest
to
Bloomington
is
on
the
horizon
the
best,
and
the
brightest
also
applies
to
the
much
anticipated
O'neill,
Park
and
pool
this
13.8
million
dollar
project
is
on
track
to
open
by
Memorial
Day
and
will
provide
residents
with
access
to
the
free
spray
park.
A
A
A
Progress
is
underway
and
patrons
will
enjoy
additional
study
rooms,
a
computer
lab
two
recording
studios
and
an
incredible
Innovation
lab
when
it's
all
said
and
done
all
the
projects
the
city
takes
on,
provide
a
new
sense
of
community
and
increase
opportunities
for
residents
to
be
physically
active,
healthy
and
even
well.
Read
embarking
on
a
new
design
plan
for
a
new
streetscape
project
in
downtown
Bloomington
is
an
exciting
opportunity
to
improve
the
public
spaces
and
enhance
the
quality
of
life
for
residents
and
visitors.
A
This
planning
process
involves
input
from
the
community
local
businesses
and
government
stakeholders,
and
ensures
that
the
final
design
meets
the
needs
and
aspirations
of
the
city.
Effective
design.
Considerations
such
as
accessibility,
green
infrastructure
and
aesthetic
appeal
will
be
important
in
creating
an
exciting
New
Look
for
the
business
district.
A
A
On
the
housing
front,
the
city's
Building
Division
issued
more
than
7
000
permits
in
2022,
where
the
total
construction
value
of
more
than
164
million
dollars.
Among
those
130
permits
for
new
single
family
units
and
three
permits
for
multi-family
buildings,
dueling
118
units
were
issued
in
2022.
The
is
the
EDC
commissioned
a
housing
study
that
has
led
to
a
great
deal
of
interest
from
the
developer
community,
and
our
economic
development
continues
to
work
tirelessly
and
creatively
to
make
sure
we
are
able
to
meet
the
housing
challenges.
We
face
as
quickly
as
possible.
A
Your
continued
efforts
are
essential
in
ensuring
a
bright
and
prosperous
future
future
for
our
community
and,
having
recently
approved
a
new
strategic
plan
that
sets
priorities
for
our
community.
I
am
confident
that
2023
will
be
an
even
better
year
for
the
city
of
Bloomington.
Thank
you
all
to
thunderous
Applause.
A
B
Requested
I
apologize,
we
didn't
get
council
member
Awards
vote.
A
C
Thank
you,
mayor
and
Council
before
I
shift
to
the
fy24
conversation
that
we're
going
to
have
this
evening.
At
the
last
meeting,
Alderman
Walsh
asked
a
question
about
Staffing
related
to
population,
also
tied
to
the
city's
budget,
shared
that
information
with
Council,
but
I
promise
to
communicate
to
the
community
on
what
those
numbers
were.
We
could
take
this
down,
so
many
different
paths
and
I
could
spend
20
or
30
minutes
on
this.
C
But
I
had
asked
at
the
last
meeting
to
take
this
back
beyond
the
2016
fiscal
year
that
Alderman
Walsh
had
commented
to
and
take
it
back
to
2010,
because
I
knew
that
was
post
recession.
I
knew
that
the
city
was
hit
very
hard
and
there
was
Major
reductions
to
Staffing.
So
we
know
in
2010,
up
until
now,
in
2020
we've
had
modest
growth
to
the
community,
with
our
recent
census
and
modest
growth.
I'll
take
it
in
the
current
climate
in
the
state
of
Illinois.
C
What
we
saw
in
Staffing
in
2010,
our
staffing
numbers,
were
663
and
then
last
week
when
I
commented
to
that
major
reduction
that
actually
occurred
in
2011
and
cut
about
70
positions
down
to
592
for
the
2011
fiscal
year
and
then
in
interestingly,
we
find
that
in
the
current
fiscal
year
that
we're
in
right
now,
FY
23,
our
numbers
are
665.,
so
we
had
663
full-time
staff
in
2010
and
in
this
current
fiscal
year,
we're
back
at
that
number
at
665.
C
and
again,
I
realize
that
there's
so
many
different
components
to
this,
and
you
can
take
this
so
many
different
directions
regarding
a
further
explanation
which
is
due.
But
the
one
thing
that
I
also
would
share
is
what
the
budget
was
back
in
2010.
It
was
about
140
million
dollars,
and
this
year
we
are
proposing
a
290
million
dollar
all
funds
budget.
C
So
that's
over
twice
and
we
are
just
back
at
the
Staffing
numbers
that
we
had
at
2010
and
I
would
also
contend
that,
while
there's
inflation,
there's
cost
of
materials,
there's
cost
of
Labor
that
factors
into
that
total
fiscal
year.
Budget
number
that
I
mentioned
I
also
firmly
believe
and
Phil
if
it's
necessary,
that
I
could
share
how
staff
and
the
different
individual
departments
are
doing
more
today
than
what
they
were
in
the
past.
C
So
the
you
know
the
the
constant
desire
of
council
to
do
more
with
less
I
believe
that
is
the
case
with
this
organization.
I
promise
that
feedback
can
do
more
at
a
later
date,
but
so
that
I
would
deliver
that
prior
to
this
portion,
I'm
going
to
shift
to
the
presentation
itself,
Scott
Rathbun
his
team,
the
directors
that
you
see
in
front
of
us.
This
is
an
important
step
that
we're
going
to
discuss.
I,
know
council's
seen
this
and
heard
this
information
three
on
ones.
You
know,
but
not
just
the
council
members.
C
This
is
our
community
discussion
as
we
follow
the
schedule
to
adopt
an
fy24
budget
tentatively
that
first
meeting
in
April
I
will
ask
just
so
that
we
can
stay
on
point
that
all
questions
are
held
until
the
end
of
the
presentation
and
then
Scott
I'll.
Let
you
you
know,
kick
this
thing
off
so
here
you
go.
D
Thank
you,
city
manager,
mayor
council.
Last
week,
last
Monday
we
introduced
FY
24
budget
in
total
290
million
dollars,
which
70
million
almost
70
million
dollars
was
for
capital
projects.
That's
nearly
25
of
the
total
budget,
so
tonight
I'm
excited
to
have
the
the
department
heads
present
the
detail
of
those
projects,
and
so
I
won't
spend
a
lot
of
time
doing
Financial
introductions
related
to
that.
But
I
would
like
to
introduce
who's
going
to
be
speaking.
D
This
evening
we
had
Eric
veal,
director
of
parks
and
rec
Russ
Waller
facilities,
manager,
Craig
shankweiler
assistant,
Public,
Works,
director
and
Kevin
kothy.
A
public
works
director
next
slide.
Please
this
slide.
We
went
through
last
week,
so
we,
you
know
69.7
I'm
rounding
up
to
70
million
dollars
total
for
the
year
up
nearly
13
million
dollars
from
last
year.
Now
we
do
have
some
significant
dollars
rolling
forward
from
year
to
year.
D
The
majority
of
the
motor
fuel
tax
is
a
roll
four,
but
I
want
to
highlight,
as
well
with
the
arena
that
rooftop
unit
3.8
million
five
million
dollars
for
24..
That's
that's
a
3.6
million
dollar
roll
forward
from
FY
23
for
those
rooftop
units.
So
we
wanted
to
highlight
that
in
totals
before
we
launch
into
the
details,
next
slide,
please
so
without
further
Ado
Mr
Eric
veal.
Please
take
away
for
the
parks
and
rec
and
the
golf
funds.
E
All
right,
thank
you,
Mr
Rathbun,
Council,
mayor
city
manager,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
tonight
to
share
with
you
what
we
hope
you
will
consider
approving
for
next
year.
We
have
put
great
thought
into
these
topics.
We
have
heard
from
the
residents
and
I
will
share
with
you
when
we
touch
on
some
of
those,
so
starting
with
the
first
one
on
the
list:
unforeseen
major
repairs
through
the
parks,
Rec
cultural
arts
department.
E
We
have
found
in
the
previous
years
that
we
have
heating
and
air
conditioners
that
go
out
in
multiple
facilities
due
to
maintenance
needs,
and
that
is
our
primary
role
for
those
and
those
are
typically
five
thousand
to
twenty
thousand
dollars.
So
that's
what
that
lineup
light
item
number
is
for
the
next
two
light
items
go
together:
the
Walt
Bittner
park,
playground
and
the
fell
park
playground
because
we
would
hopefully
apply
for
a
grant
similar
to
what
we
did
this
year
with
the
Sweeney
park.
Playground.
E
The
Walt
Bittner
playground,
though,
is
our
last
wooden
playground
and
has
a
Norway
Pine
That
was
supposed
to
last
a
long
time,
but
is
now
rotting
at
the
base,
so
that
we
need
to
replace
that,
and
that
is
a
priority
fell.
Park
is
a
lovely
neighborhood
park,
and
so
that
has
passed
its
useful
life,
the
Lincoln
Leisure
Center,
restoration
of
elements
that
is
part
of
the
faithful
and
Gould
study
that
was
in
2014,
and
we
continue
to
try
and
catch
up
on
deferred
maintenance
at
the
Lincoln
Leisure
Center.
E
That
would
be
for
tuck,
pointing
on
the
outside
of
the
building
Trail
resurfacing,
both
both
of
the
next
two
items.
I
want
to
say
that
we
partner
greatly
with
our
public
works
department
on
these.
They
help
go
out
for
bid
on
these,
so
we
get
the
best
value
that
we
can,
and
these
are
resident
requests
that
come
in
and
tell
us
where
there's
the
most
need.
Obviously,
we
go
and
check
ourselves,
but
this
is
an
area
that
has
been
requested
by
the
residents.
E
The
Route
66
Trail
is
part
of
the
IGA
that
we
have
with
the
county,
the
town
of
normal
and
the
city
of
Bloomington.
The
city
is
already
mainly
done
with
that,
and
we
are
still
paying
our
portion
for
the
outside
of
the
community
on
that
one
Park
maintenance.
Since
Moe's
our
assistant,
director
and
I
started,
we
went
and
started
evaluating
the
needs
of
some
facilities.
We
have
with
the
city's
Dei
and
Ada
initiatives
that
are
happening
right
now.
E
We
felt
that
it
was
important
that
we
look
at
improving
the
restrooms,
especially
because
we
now
have
more
women
in
the
workforce
in
our
Parks
maintenance
area
and
also
become
compliant
with
Ada
landscaping
and
the
monument
the
next
two
items
they
kind
of
they're
different,
because
we
would
like
to
finish
the
landscaping
around
the
monument
sign
that
is
already
existing
over
by
Eastland
Mall.
That's
a
really
nice
Gateway
feature
when
you
come
into
town.
E
Last
round
of
items
for
us
here
is
an
exciting
thing
for
us:
actually,
the
Highland
Park
shed
and
Clubhouse
replacement.
Right
now
we
have
a
building
that
is
probably
100
years
old,
it's
from
the
Meyer
Brewery,
which
is
what
was
Highland
Park
before
we
acquired
it
from
them,
and
this
building
is
probably
not
safe
for
you
to
stand
on
the
second
floor,
so
we're
not
able
to
use
that
anymore.
E
In
addition,
we
used
to
store
all
the
carts
in
there
and
now
can
only
get
half
of
them
in
there,
because
it
is
not
usable
in
certain
areas.
So
we
would
like
to
replace
that
turn
that
into
a
dual
use,
building
with
both
the
clubhouse
and
the
shed
in
there
as
well,
and
then,
where
the
current
Clubhouse
is
in
the
small
building
across
the
way,
we
could
turn
that
into
an
event
area
for
after
outings,
so
that
we
could
also
maybe
generate
some
more
Revenue.
E
The
next
item
is
actually
from
residents
and
golfers
and
because
the
pond
dredging
hasn't
happened
recently
and
it
has
tilted
in
what
happens,
then
is
you
get
a
smell
that
emanates
through
the
residential
area
and
for
the
golfers?
So
that
would
take
care
of
that
and
last
but
not
least,
we
had
a
roof
on
the
den
that,
for
Aesthetics
did
not
have
gutters
and
we
need
to
replace
the
roof
due
to
time,
but
the
base
around
the
building
has
sunken
about
four
inches
because
it
doesn't
have
gutters.
E
F
Thank
you,
Eric.
Thank
you,
Council
and
mayor
for
opportunity
to
present
the
proposed
projects
the
facilities
has
for
upcoming
fiscal
year
24..
F
The
first
one
we
have
is
the
for
the
police
department,
we're
looking
to
do
some
improvements
to
their
front
desk,
their
Tower
area
and
that's
essentially
for
security
reasons,
but
also
address
some
Ada
issues
and
potentially
add
a
third
window
for
their
ability
to
serve
more
customers.
Moving
on
then,
is
for
our
solar
evaluation,
and
that,
essentially,
is,
is
what
it
is.
F
As
an
evaluation,
we
actually
won't
be
constructing
anything
we're
just
going
to
evaluate
multiple
City
facilities,
multiple
facility
locations,
to
see
what
best
fits
where
we
could
put
some
solar
in
the
future
and
based
on
that
evaluation,
we
would
follow
up
in
subsequent
years
with
some
actual
solar
installations.
F
Moving
on
another
evaluation
is
the
EV
charging,
so
we
do
have
some
EV
charging
at
the
city.
We've
already
done
are
starting
some
evaluation.
How
much
is
getting
used
and
it
is
getting
used
quite
a
bit.
This
is
essentially
an
additional
evaluation
Beyond
just
how
much
usage
there
is,
but
also
where
we
can
place
additional
charging
of
one
of
the
Prime
locations.
F
We're
looking
at
would
be
the
Lincoln
garage,
but
in
addition
to
just
turning
a
location,
you
also
have
to
look
at
the
ability
for
that
facility
to
handle
the
electrical
load
and
what
it
would
cost
to
add
additional
load
capacity
if
necessary,
so
that
evaluation
would
be
a
good
start
in
determining
where
we
would
add
additional
solar
excuse
me
additional
charging
stations
in
the
future,
the
unforeseen
similar
to
what
Eric
had
put
in
his
we
often
will
run
into
an
issue
where
some
project
comes
up.
F
Something
comes
up
that
we
didn't
account
for
didn't
expect,
and
so
this
is
a
an
ongoing
item
we
put
in
our
budget
for
years
to
just
address
those
issues
and
handle
that
City
Hall
Ada
and
life
safety.
So
this
is
a
carryover,
so
we
weren't
able
to
accomplish
everything.
F
Last
Kurt
fiscal
year
we
do
have
the
elevator
under
design
and
it
will
go
into
construction
and
be
bid
for
construction
here
later
this
year.
So
that's
part
of
the
Ada,
the
other
issues
there's
some
fire
alarm
is
essentially
obsolete,
needs
to
be
replaced.
Then,
in
addition,
there's
some
additional
Ada
issues
exterior
to
the
building
some
of
the
sidewalks.
Some
of
the
driveways
need
to
get
replaced
and
then
there's
some
potential
evaluation.
Depending
on
the
scope
of
some
of
the
items
we
do
for
some
fire
suppression
potential.
F
F
Moving
on,
then
the
city
building
and
Tuck,
pointing
and
ceiling
so
Eric
mentioned
they're
going
to
do
that
in
Lincoln,
Leisure
Center,
we'll
obviously
cooperate
with
them
and
maybe
bid
this
as
a
as
a
one,
complete
package
to
to
maximize
some
cost
efficiencies
and
hopefully
get
better
pricing.
This
is
primarily
work.
It's
going
to
be
at
the
police
department.
We've
done
some
initial
evaluation.
There
is
some
leakage
that's
occurring
and
there
is
some
damage
to
the
existing
tuck
pointing
or
the
mortar
joints
that
need
to
get
addressed.
F
We
also
are
going
to
have
City
Hall
done
at
the
same
time,
but
it
there's
not
much
at
City
Hall,
it's
primarily
at
the
police
department.
Now
moving
on
down
to
the
parking,
so
the
Abraham
Lincoln
garage
we
are
currently
working.
We've
completed
a
lot
of
the
work,
that's
that
was
included
in
the
current
fiscal
budget.
That
will
finish
here
once
the
weather
turns
that'll
get
wrapped
up,
so
the
the
current
budget
of
600
000,
we're
spending
will
be
completed
here,
probably
in
March
to
April.
F
So
this
is
a
continuation
of
some
of
those
improvements.
There's
still
a
lot
of
drainage
issues.
We
need
to
address
so
with
the
drainage.
We
kind
of
started
the
current
projects
from
the
ground
up,
replacing
all
the
drainage
pipings
in
there
to
address
the
lower
levels
of
the
drainage
and
then
the
next
project
will
basically
take
it
clear
to
the
roof
and
we
also
started
from
a
sealing
point
from
the
top
down.
F
So
we've
sealed
the
roof
to
avoid
any
kind
of
leakage
and
and
drippage
that
come
through
from
the
top
level
to
get
to
the
lower
levels
and
so
we're
going
to
basically
finish
the
center
portions
of
the
garage
in
addition
to
the
drainage
there's
also
some
minor
structural
work
that
will
continue
with
this
project
still
a
hefty
amount.
But
there
is
a
lot
of
work
yet
to
be
done
in
that
garage
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we
take
care
of
it.
F
So
we
don't
get
into
a
situation
like
we
are
at
the
market
garage
and
with
that
said,
it
was
asked
to
kind
of
get
an
update
on
Market
garage
so
that
work
is
currently
in
place
or
in
progress.
They
have
not
completed
it.
They
are
actually
working
through
the
winter.
F
That's
not
common,
but
we've
asked
them
to
to
continue
to
work
and
they've
agreed
to
work
and
and
do
the
work
through
the
winter
they're
putting
in
temporary
heating,
where
it's
appropriate
to
make
sure
the
concrete
cures
correctly,
just
to
be
able
to
keep
that
work
going
and
get
it
done.
They
are
anticipating
to
get
all
of
that.
Current
structural
repairs
done
in
March,
possibly
April
if
they
get
into
some
weather
issues,
but
the
weather's
been
very
cooperative
for
them.
F
So
when
that
work
is
complete,
that
will
extend
the
life
of
that
garage
about
two
to
three,
maybe
even
four
years,
which
gives
us
that
time
to
continue
with
the
evaluation
of
what
replacement
would
be
there,
whether
it's
connect,
Transit
or
if
it's
something
else
moving
on
then
to
last
one
on
our
list
is
the
arena.
Rtu
replacement
a
very
high
dollar
item.
Obviously,
but
this
is
a
essentially
a
need
to
keep
that
facility
operational.
F
The
current
rooftop
units
are
used,
R22
refrigerant,
which
is
no
longer
available,
and
the
units
are
severely
deteriorated
and
so
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
to
maintain
them,
keep
them
operational.
They
do
currently
function,
so
there's
not
a
immediate
need,
but
if
we
don't
plan-
and
we
don't
get
the
the
design
done-
which
is
currently
in
progress-
but
if
we
don't
move
forward
with
this,
then
we're
going
to
run
into
an
emergency
situation
which
we
don't
want.
F
So
this
is
a
project
that
we
can
move
slowly
forward,
but
it
does
need
to
move
forward
to
be
able
to
make
sure
we
keep
the
facility
operational
without
the
rooftop
units.
There
would
be
no
heating
or
Cooling
in
the
facility
essentially
would
be
unoccupied
or
unusable
at
that
point,
with
that,
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Craig.
Thank
you.
Rose.
G
First
item
on
the
list:
there
is
the
land
acquisition
for
the
citizens,
Convenience
Center
about
350
000,
there's
also
a
companion
piece
later
on
that
Kevin
will
present
with
a
150
000
for
construction.
The
reason
the
citizens
Convenience
Center
needs
to
be
relocated
is
it's
for
the
site.
The
current
site
of
the
East
proposed
E
Street
Basin.
So
we
need
to
relocate
that
to
another
yet
to
be
determined
location
within
the
city.
G
The
next
item
is
the
extension
of
the
Constitution
Trail
from
its
current
Terminus
near
Evergreen
Cemetery
there
on
Lincoln
take
it
another
full
block,
South
past
the
metal
recycler,
the
next
two
items,
the
constant
Trail
extension
from
Lafayette
to
Hamilton.
This
would
be
the
design
component,
the
final
design
component
for
that
piece
of
the
trail
we're
currently
wrapping
up
the
phase.
One
study
expecting
approval
from
the
Department
of
Transportation
here
within
the
next
month
or
two.
G
This
is
the
companion
piece
to
that,
and
this
is
all
about
positioning
us
for
a
80,
20,
itep
Grant
in
the
summer
of
25.,
the
Meadowbrook
Subdivision
Improvement
project.
This
is
the
infrastructure
piece
or
in
essence,
the
surface
piece
of
this
later
there
will
be
a
companion
piece
that
Kevin
will
talk
about
with
the
water.
It's
it's
a
water
driven
project
that
will
impact
the
streets
and
the
sidewalks.
This
1.75
would
be
this.
The
street
restoration,
the
curbs
the
curb
ramps
things
like
that.
G
The
last
item
is
Airport
Road
and
Cornelius
Drive
traffic
signal
improvements.
This
would
be
combined
with
design
and
construction
to
install
new
signals
at
airport
and
Cornelius,
which
is
near
Central
High
School.
That
location
current
meets
currently
meets
signal
warrants.
There
is
also
a
six
hundred
thousand
dollar
dco
grant
that
we
would
apply
towards
this
project,
so
the
net.
H
B
G
This
page
shows
our
motor
fuel
tax
fund.
We
have
the
two
bit
large
projects,
the
Fox
Creek
and
the
Hamilton
Road.
This
is
the
continuation
of
that
our
status
on
that
Fox
Creek,
where
we
have
some
land
acquisition
that
we
need
to
do
finish
out.
The
design
utilities
to
relocate,
and
our
goal
is
to
get
that
out
to
bid
here
this
year
and
start
construction.
That
would
be
a
multi-year
project.
G
Looking
at
about
two
years,
jumping
down
Hamilton
Road
a
little
bit
farther
along
on
Land
Act
there,
and
we
have
some
utilities
to
relocate,
and
then
we
have
the
railroad
track,
siding
that
we
need
to
move
out
of
the
way.
So
we
can
get
an
at
Great
Crossing
there
back
up
in
the
middle
there
we
have
street
light
charges.
This
is
our
annual
500
000
part
that
comes
out
of
motor
field
tax
for
the
electricity
and
maintenance
of
our
of
street
lights
within
the
city,
and
then
at
the
very
bottom.
G
G
This
500
000
is
a
is
a
set
aside
at
this
time,
so
for
the
city
share
of
the
first
portion
from
Martin
Luther
King
up
to
Hinshaw,
we
do
think
it's
fairly
conservative.
We
haven't
got
the
final
numbers
here,
but,
as
we
move
along
the
city
would
contribute
a
city
share.
I
might
add
that
that
City
share
is
fairly
small
relative
to
the
total
cost
of
the
whole
Improvement.
G
Next
slide.
Please.
This
slide
is
basically
our
asphalt,
our
resurfacing
sidewalk
and
emergency
Street
and
Alley
and
sidewalk
repairs
funds.
This
year
we
do
have
a
companion
piece
of
arpa
money
of
about
2
million
allocated
to
this
for
a
total
of
10
million
dollars.
G
The
remaining
8
million
come
from
the
general
fund.
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Kevin
Kofi.
C
Kevin,
if
you
would
hold
on
just
a
minute,
Catherine
or
Phil,
go
back
to
slide
five,
please
just
an
additional
comment
for
the
community's
sake.
You'll
see
that
first
one
on
the
convenience
center
land
acquisition
I
know
council's
aware
of
this,
but
I
I'm
saying
this
for
the
community's
sake.
The
convenience
center
is
something
that
is
highly
used.
It's
a
highly
desirable
amenity
that
we
have
at
the
city
that
we
offer
what's
going
on.
C
Here
is
as
a
result
or
one
of
the
outcomes
of
the
the
June
2021
flooding
Council,
directed
us
not
only
to
combine
and
shorten
the
Locust
Colton
project
overall,
but
there
was
another
component
to
this
where
we
were
asked
or
directed
to
look
at
hydraulic
modeling.
You
know:
where
does
the
storm
water
go
in
a
storm
event?
C
You
know
like
we
saw
in
June
of
2021
one
of
the
locations
that
we
found,
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
detention
base,
and
while
that
study
is
not
complete,
we
are
confident
that
one
of
the
locations
that
is
going
to
be
necessary
is
right
in
that
area,
on
the
east
side
of
East
Street,
where
the
convenience
center
is-
and
we
know
that
that's
going
to
be
a
location
of
one
of
the
detention
basins.
C
As
a
quick
aside
as
we
build
these
detention
basins
to
address
storm
water
runoff
we're
going
to
try
to
turn
those
see
if
we
can't
seize
opportunities
with
the
remodeling
and
renovation
of
the
library,
with
the
fact
that
it's
right
along
the
Constitution
Trail.
If
we
can't
also
turn
this
into
some
sort
of
amenity
that
can
be
used
by
the
community,
but
I
know
that
that
one's
probably
caught
some
people's
attention.
So
I
wanted
to
go
back
real,
quick
and
just
share
sort
of
the
rest
of
the
story.
C
I
Thank
you.
Can
we
get
to
slide
eight
yeah
there
we
go.
Thank
you,
the
Enterprise
funds,
first
off
water.
A
lot
of
the
items
here
are
going
to
be
complementary
to
other
bigger
projects.
A
lot
of
times,
we'll
have
different
components
for
a
big
project
like
a
Fox
Creek,
Road
Bridge.
This
is
the
water
main
that
goes
alongside
the
bridge.
So
this
is
a
component
of
that
bigger
project,
Lucas,
Colton,
CSO,
elimination,
phase,
nine
design,
Lucas
Colton,
is
a
project.
That's
been
in
front
of
everybody.
I
For
for
many
years,
phase
nine
is
needing
to
be
designed
a
little
ways
from
construction
yet,
but
you
know
we're
trying
to
keep
that
on
an
accelerated
time
frame.
So
this
is
a
component
of
that
Lucas
Colton
phase,
nine
for
design
we've
got
multi-year
GIS
consultant
services.
This
is
something
that
we've
been
doing
every
year
for
a
number
of
years
now
to
help
leverage
the
gis
we
we
have
a
great
GIS.
I
We
have
a
lot
of
good
information
and
we
have
some
some
folks
that
work
with
it
in-house,
but
it
just
helps
us
with
the
consultant
services
to
keep
our
GIS
kind
of
state
of
the
art
and
be
able
to
leverage
it
in
the
field
in
other
places,
so
very
important,
even
though
it's
a
small
number
also
with
the
multi-year
consultant
Leak
Detection.
This
is
something
that
we've
been
doing
for
a
number
of
years
as
well.
I
Specialized
contractor
with
specialized
equipment
helps
us
to
be
able
to
listen
underground,
to
locate
leaks
that
might
not
be
coming
to
the
surface
and
and
obviously
the
sooner
we
can
locate
leaks
and
stop
them
the
less
water
loss
we
have,
but
also,
potentially,
the
less
for
a
bigger,
a
bigger
leak
becoming
a
you
know.
Water
main
dig
so
important
component
there
as
well
Meadowbrook
division.
This
is
part
of
that
larger
project
that
Craig
mentioned.
I
This
is
primarily
a
water
main
replacement
project,
so
you
can
see
the
4.7
million
a
significant
amount,
but
ties
in
with
the
other
pieces
for
the
sidewalks
and
the
streets
and
the
drainage
and
everything
else
out
there.
Along
with
that,
we
have
some
money
programmed
in
for
construction,
Administration
observation
for
that
water
main
replacement.
I
The
next
components
deal
with
up
in
our
Lakes
Reservoir,
Shoreline
stream,
erosion
planning
and
construction.
We
try
to
budget
a
little
bit
every
year
to
continue
progress.
We've
made
some
great
progress
up
around
Lake
Bloomington
recently,
and
it's
really
helping
to
reduce
sedimentation
getting
into
the
Basin
and
also
improve
the
water
quality.
The
third
item
there,
with
water
shed
improvements,
Grant
matching.
I
We
leverage
opportunities
to
get
any
type
of
grant,
funding
we
can
from
different
sources,
and
this
would
be
a
City
match
component
we've
been
able
to
leverage
these
in
in
the
past,
and
this
would
be
to
for
a
City
match
to
a
larger
grant.
That
would
help
us
get
more
done
with
the
Watershed
Hamilton's
own
Pump
Station
land
acquisition
for
the
system-wide
potable
water
distribution
improvements.
This
is
to
cite
a
new
pump
station.
I
We
had
a
presentation
about
a
year
ago
talking
about
the
system-wide
distribution
improvements
which
the
the
last
item
is
that
as
well.
This
is
trying
to
find
a
spot
where
we
could
put
a
new
pump
station
on
the
east
side
and
then
to
design
to
final
design
that
and
some
other
improvements.
That's
what
that
last
item
is
at
three
million.
This
is
a
TENS
of
millions
of
dollars
of
water
system
improvements.
I
That's
why
that
design
component
is
a
pretty
hefty
amount,
but
very
necessary
to
continue
forward
with
what
we
outlined
to
the
council
before
next
slide.
Please
sewer
fund
another
Enterprise
fund.
We
have
components
of
it
with
the
sewer
assessment.
That's
primarily
the
CCTV
continuing
we've
done
that
for
many
many
years
and
continuing
that
to
assess
the
condition
of
the
sewers
and
then
the
next
line
is
Rehabilitation
and
that's
primarily
aligning,
but
can
be
also
other
types
of
Point
repairs
and
so
forth.
I
A
significant
amount
for
trying
to
maintain
our
sewers
in
good
condition
by
primarily
lining,
and
then
we've
got
with
the
Locust
Colton
phase.
Nine
you'll
see
just
like
in
the
water.
This
is
the
sewer
component
and
then
down
below
is
the
storm
water
component
for
that
design,
and
then
we've
got
E
Street
Basin,
Phase,
One,
Construction,
two
components
there,
one
from
sewer
and
one
from
storm
water
fund.
This
is
looking
looking
forward
to
delivering
some
of
the
pieces.
This
would
be
a
multi-year
project.
I
This
isn't
the
whole
thing,
there's
pipes
up
pipes
that
have
to
be
moved
and
separated,
and
then
Basin
construction,
other
things.
But
this
is
this-
is
moving
towards
construction
for
the
first
part
there,
and
then
that
last
line
item
is
the
construction
of
the
this
is
the
convenience
centers
Craig
noted
the
first
part
was
for
a
land
to
find
a
site,
and
then
this
is
actually
to
to
move
it
to
a
new
location.
So
that
concludes
the
overview
of
the
capital
projects.
So
I'll
turn
it
back
to
Scott.
D
Thank
you
Kevin
next
slide,
please
before
we
turn
it
over
to
the
council
for
questions
just
wanted
to
highlight
the
remaining
calendar
for
the
budget
budgetary
cycle.
So
we
do
have
another
presentation.
Next,
Monday
we'll
we'll
be
expanding.
D
What
we
went
through
last
last
Monday,
so
Citywide
revenue
and
expenditure
exhibits
general
fund
by
Department
classifications,
such
as
public
safety
and
then
proposed
budget
and
in
March
we'll
expand
to
show
the
dollars
a
further
view
of
budgetary
dollars
at
work
like
we
did
tonight,
but
I
wanted
to
highlight
this
presentation
and
the
other
presentations
to
be
found
on
the
city's
website
under
the
documents
Finance
documents
budget
fy24
page,
so
the
community
can
follow
along
or
review
these
after
the
fact
for
reference.
So
next
slide.
J
Award
sure
thanks,
thank
you
all
for
this
very
thorough
and
helpful
presentation.
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions
and
a
couple
of
comments:
I
guess
for
Mr
kothy
and
Mr
shonkweiler.
J
J
I
noticed
that
a
lot
of
the
the
funds
that
are
being
proposed
are
specifically
to
have
an
impact
on
Wards
one
four
and
six
and
following
the
flooding
in
2021,
there
was
a
significant
impact
on
Ward
7,
some
some
of
the
poorer
parts
of
the
ward
and
some
of
the
the
just
significant
impact
and
I'm
trying
to
get
a
sense
of.
Is
there
nothing
that
we're
doing
for
Ward
7?
J
Where
does
Ward
7
fit
in
here?
So
if
you
could
explain
that
in
a
way
that
that
I
can
carry
back
to
Residents
from
Ward
7,
that
would
be
really
helpful.
G
I
can
I'll
take
that
so
overall,
the
focus
is
within
this
Watershed,
where
the
E
Street
Basin
is
primarily
because
that's
was
identified
in
a
previous
master
plan.
Well
also,
we
knew
that
there
was
some
significant
flooding
there
as
well.
G
If
you
can't
imagine
within
a
watershed,
water
flows
from
the
upper
part
to
the
downstream
part
and
ultimately
gets
to
the
Sugar
Creek
as
it
Outlets
from
the
city.
This
will
in
essence,
detain
that
water
and
release
it
slower,
Through
Time,
the
ward
7
piece
is
more
Upstream
of
Sugar
Creek.
G
So,
if
you
think
about
your
got
almost
two
competing
watersheds
with
a
Confluence
into
the
Sugar
Creek,
so
if
we're
able
to
detain
water
on
the
downstream
of
that
and
Ward
seven
water
comes
in
above
it
that
allows
for
basically
Sugar
Creek
to
not
be
inundated
as
much
as
it
would
be.
Overall.
J
So
when
I'm,
looking
at
the
amount
of
flooding
that
took
place,
say
on
West
Monroe
Street,
are
you
saying
that
that's
related
to
the
flooding
of
Sugar
Creek?
Ultimately,
it
would
take
the
pressure
off
of
West
Monroe.
G
Ultimately,
anything
that
we
can
do
within
a
watershed
to
detain
the
water
and
release
it
at
a
slower
rate
helps
the
whole
system
in
totality.
It
may
not
be
a
direct
one
for
one,
but
anything
that
we
do.
You
know
when
we
even
do
small
detention
basins
through
time
or
developments.
G
I
If
I
could
add
that
that
was
Monroe,
you
know
is
Downstream
from
you
know
it
it's
where
we're
talking
about
with
E
Street
Basin,
that
the
sewer
actually
continues
on
down
through
West
Monroe.
So
if
we
can
hold
that
that
water
back,
you
know
it
will
help
with
West
Monroe
as
well.
Now,
there's
other
things
you
know
and
Craig
didn't
mention,
but
you
know
at
some
point
we'll
have
with
the
hydraulic
modeling
of
presentation
coming
back
to
you
to
share.
You
know
that
analysis
and
stuff
in
more
detail.
I
But
since
West
Monroe
is
Downstream
from
this
area,
anything
we
can
do
even
with
this.
Upstream
piece
will
help
and
as
he
noted
it's
all,
you
know
combined
into
one
eventually
Sugar
Creek
is
where
everything
heads,
but
if
any
of
the
systems
start
backing
up
right,
then
you
know
potentially
there's
there's
flooding
and
in
some
cases
the
you
know
we
saw
with
that
June
24
2021
storm.
Both
you
know,
surface
flooding
and
other
flooding
that
was
occurring
because
of
you
know,
combined
sewer,
backups
and
so
forth.
I
So
just
a
lot
of
water
to
you
know
take
care
of
and
if
we
can
safely
hold
that
in
detention
basins
like
we've
seen,
you
know
with
the
newer
areas
of
the
city,
for
instance
east
of
Veterans,
Parkway
and
stuff.
We
saw
significant
impacts
where
you
know,
Sugar
Creek
didn't
even
come
out
of
its
banks,
a
good
portion
of
the
city,
because
of
all
that
that
that
has
been
provided
over
decades
on
the
east
side.
So
you
know
this
is
just
first
step
if
you
will
right
to
helping
that
overall
system.
G
Yeah
I
would
add
too,
that
you
know
we
have
the
study
for
the
base
and
we've
also
done
a
companion,
hydraulic,
modeling
piece
for
more
Downstream.
We
do
Envision
another
piece
of
the
puzzle
later,
where
we
would
look
at
primarily
that
other
Watershed,
where
seven
is
and
even
to
the
east,.
J
Forgive
my
skepticism
only
because
I
see
Wards
one
Wards,
four
Ward
six,
not
a
word
about
Ward,
seven
and
so
I
hear
you
saying
yes,
it'll
also
have
an
impact
but
you're
you're
not
saying
that
ahead
of
time,
which
leads
me
to
see,
see
it
as
hopeful,
rather
than
an
actual
plan,
with
regard
to
that,
so
I'm
I'm
really
eager
on
behalf
of
folks
who
really
really
suffered
in
2021
and
are
continuing
to
deal
with
the
Fallout
of
that
and
not
just
West
Monroe.
That
was
a
significant
part.
J
The
the
area
just
to
the
south
of
Holden
homes
by
the
Nicor
plant
is
another
area,
numerous
other
streets.
So,
oh,
that's
what
I
had
to
say
about
that
I
want
to
say
Mr
Waller!
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
with
the
solar
evaluation
and
the
EV
evaluation,
I'm,
very
supportive
of
of
all
that
we
can
do
with
regard
to
that
and
Mr
shankweiler.
J
Could
you
just
give
us
an
update
on
what's
the
timeline
in
terms
of
the
the
route
nine
work
beginning
I
realized
that
that's
not
all
in
the
city's
control,
but
but
what?
What
are
we
looking
at
there?
So.
G
The
dot
has
programmed
funds
from
fy24
through
fy28.
That
would
be
their
fiscal
year
would
start
to
July
1.,
so
July
1.
That
would
be
the
for
when
the
money
is
available
for
them
to
start
from
Martin
Luther
King
over
to
henschel.
G
Potentially,
yes,
keep
in
mind
it's
much
like
our
fiscal
year
right,
you
can
still
it
might
be
in
the
spring
of
a
year
from
now,
but
that's.
J
Great
and
then
just
one
last
comment:
I
really
am
very
skeptical
of
the
need
for
a
monument
sign
at
I-55
and
I-74.
I
think
that
the
and
and
the
further
Landscaping
with
regard
to
the
monument
signs
I
feel
like
that
is
money
that
would
much
that
hundred
thousand
dollars.
J
That's
what
we're
talking
about
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
for
another
Monument
sign
and
25
000
for
more
Landscaping
I
feel
like
like
the
the
people
of
my
my
ward,
are,
are
very
skeptical
of
of
more
signs
and
would
much
rather
have
that
money
spent
on
something
like
playground,
equipment
in
in
the
northern
part
of
of
White
Oak
Park,
for
example,
or
anywhere
else,
any
number
of
other
other
ideas,
and
so
I'm
I'm
I
just
can't
support
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
more
for
Science
and
Landscaping
of
science.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
crabill
and
bear
in
mind
the
time
is
back
there.
So
if
we
get
close
to
it
and
need
more
time.
K
I
will
be
super
quick
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
the
presentation
I
like
having
the
directors
here
to
explain
things,
but
Molly
asked
all
my
questions.
So
that's
it.
L
I
just
well
I
have
a
few
questions
and
a
comment
also
with
that
lining.
What's
the
life
expectancy
after
you
put
it
in.
I
Lining
you
know:
we've
we've
had
sewers
line
for
decades
already,
but
you
know
it's
basically
a
new
pipe
inside
a
pipe.
So
you
know
you
could
typically
say
you
know
some
somewhere
75
years
plus,
but
honestly
I
haven't
seen
a
line
or
fail.
Yet
so,
okay.
L
Pipe,
if
you
want
okay,
yeah,
okay,
yeah
yeah
I'm,
not
questioning
the
amount
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it
doesn't.
It
lasts
long
enough.
L
Oh
on
that
route,
9
Corridor
improvements
who
ends
up
doing
the
maintenance
after
it's
improved.
I
Yeah
well
with
the
state
improvements,
the
state
still
does
maintenance
with
that.
There
are
some
caveats
that
sometimes
you
know
with
city-state
agreements
and
so
forth
that
the
city
sometimes
has
some
maintenance
of
some
of
the
items
like,
for
instance,
a
median
or
something
like
that
or
curbs
and
stuff
like
that,
plus
you
know,
depending
on
where
it's
at
within
the
state
route
like
I.
I
Think
most
of
you
are
aware
that
we
have
an
agreement,
an
idot
City
agreement
that
the
city
will
will
plow
and
pothole
patch
certain
sections
of
Route,
9
and
150
and
so
forth.
So
when
you,
when
you
get
like,
for
instance,
Route
9
East
of
veterans,
we
don't
do,
we
don't
do
Veterans
Parkway,
but
we
do
most
the
core
of
the
city
with
plowing
and
pothole
filling
and
stuff,
but
that
the
idot
actually
pays
us
annually.
A
certain
amount
to
do
that
for
them.
So.
L
Yeah,
okay,
that's
good
to
know
and
I've
already
shared
this
in
a
three-on-one
I'm
gonna
pull
award
two
shout
out
for
the
Fox
Creek
Bridge.
Just
last
week
there
was
a
an
auto
Collision
right
there,
I
don't
know
if
it
was
weather.
Related
I
do
know
that
that
bridge
gets
a
little
slick
when
the
weather
is
bad.
L
It's
been
in
the
capital
project
column
for
many
years
as
long
as
I'm
in
Council.
In
probably
a
decade
before
I've
lived
out
there
for
12
years,
and
it's
been
the
same
and
I
really
would
like
you
to
be
more
assertive
with
the
land
acquisition.
L
I
know
that
that's
complicated
situation
and
I'm
gonna
I
said
12
months,
but
I
would
like
to
push
it
even
shorter
and
partly
because
there's
a
flurry
of
home
construction,
including
apartment
buildings,
and
you
had
shared
that
the
volume
is
5000
per
day
and
it's
just
going
to
increase
it's
the
only
access
to
the
den
I
mean
you
know
all
this.
This
is
going
out
for
the
public.
It's
not
you
know
it's
the
only
access
to
the
the
den
we're
talking
about
expanding
the
Trail
constitutional
trail.
L
Out
of
Funks
Grove
and
all
that
it's
the
only
access,
there's
no
sidewalk
pedestrians,
cyclists
during
big
trouble
going
over
that
bridge.
So
it's
a
safety
issue.
If
there's
going
to
be
a
car
accident,
I've
seen
very
close
calls
with
pedestrians
trying
to
cross
separage,
there's
no
other
way
to
get
to
Casey's.
Unless
you
drive
and
kids
that
live
in
the
Danbury
Court
area,
they
want
to
go
down
and
get
a
soda.
L
They
cross
that
bridge
and
it's
really
dangerous,
because
there's
a
curve
entering
the
bridge
from
veterans-
and
you
don't
have
visibility,
so
I
really
want
to
get
it
done
ASAP
and
for
the
for
the
record
two
for
the
community
part
of
the
reason
our
budget
is
big
or
bigger.
Is
we
keep
rolling
over
this?
You
know
20
million
dollar
project,
so
I'd
like
to
get
it
checked
off
the
list.
Thanks.
M
Evening,
thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
just
want
to
point
out
the
amount
of
investment
and
infrastructure.
That's
evident
in
this
plan
and
I
think
it's
responsive
to
what
you've
been
hearing
from
all
of
us
here
and
what
we
certainly
have
been
hearing
from
our
constituents.
So
I
appreciate
that
back
to
council
member
Ward's
question
about
the
response
to
the
the
June
flooding
we
had
in
2021
and,
as
you
know,
we
have
voted
to
accelerate
the
Locust
Colton
project,
even
within
Ward
4
I
get
questions.
M
Why
are
you
starting
here
in
Ward
4
and
not
in
my
part
of
world
war,
because
the
damage
was
consistent
throughout
the
community
and
and
my
understanding
of
it,
and
this
is
also
to
communicate
back
to
the
public-
that
a
lot
of
the
work
that's
being
done
in
this?
The
separation
of
these
combined
sewers
and
the
hydraulic,
modeling
and
subsequent
construction
of
the
basins
is
based
on
that
water
plan.
The
assessment
that
was
that
was
done,
and
it
has
to
do
a
lot
with
elevation
that
you
you
had.
M
You
chose
to
start
where
you
did
not
because
of
sort
of
who
lives
at
maybe
in
a
certain
neighborhood,
but
rather
that
it
made
the
most
sense
engineering
wise
to
start
in
certain
aspects
of
the
community
to
go
through
this
extensive,
comprehensive
separation
of
the
sewers,
as
well
as
detaining
water
in
these
key
areas,
so
that
the
whole
system,
including
our
neighbors
and
friends
in
Ward
7,
would
not
it.
So
it's
more
practical
than
hopeful
I
guess
is
what
I'm
hoping
you
might
convey.
M
Although
I
know
that
you
don't
like
to
make
promises,
but
but
this
is
what
I
communicate
to
Residents
in
Ward
four,
who
don't
understand
why
you
haven't
torn
up
their
streets
yet,
even
though,
when
you
do
they'll
have
some
issues
when
that
is
as
well.
So
so
any
more
information
on
on
that
would
be
useful.
G
We,
as
was
indicated,
we
are
nearing
the
final
stages
of
determining
the
different
pieces
of
this
plant,
and
we
will
be
coming
to
a
committee
the
whole
in
the
coming
months
to
do
a
presentation
with
our
consultant
Baxter
Woodman,
to
outline
the
plan
show
the
positive
benefits
of
what
what
is
being
planned.
G
They
have
a
very
powerful
piece
of
software
that
they
use.
That's
really
a
really
interesting
that
can
actually
show
the
flooding
reduction.
They
they
can
take
the
houses
that
that
have
been
impacted.
They
can
show
the
post
situation
where
the
that
it
limits
the
odds
basically
of
of
the
flooding
occurring
there.
G
That
will
be
coming
in
the
coming
months.
So
that'll
that'll
tell
the
story
more
of
where
we're
headed
or
where
we're
suggesting
ahead
and
then
likewise,
as
Mr
Gleason
indicated,
there
would
be
amenity
components
here
with
the
Basin
for
under
consideration
to
turn
this
really.
H
M
Yeah
and
and
a
lot
of
the
the
elements
of
green
infrastructure
that
were
shared
with
us,
the
the
you
are
committed
to
doing
and
have
done
are
part
of
the
this
larger
plan
too,
to
mitigate
flooding.
But
I
I
will
be
watching
closely
too,
because
I
I'm
curious
how
this
will
continue
to
progress
and
and
hope
more
than
hope,
but
seems
to
be
we're
on
the
right
course.
But
we
I
do
appreciate
the
concern
two
more
comments.
M
M
So
I
do
appreciate
that
and
my
neighbors
do
as
well
and
finally,
a
comment
that
I
made,
that
is,
is
a
much
larger
response
has
to
do
with
how
we
can
be
more
intentional,
with
infrastructure
going
forward
so
that
we
can
slow
drivers
down
since
we
have
such
such
a
high
accident
rate,
and
so
much
of
that
has
been
shown
to
be
related
to
the
engineering
of
streets
and
people
just
just
it.
You
can't
help
but
go
faster.
M
I
mean
you
can,
but
it's
harder
not
to,
and
just
continuing
to
think
about
ways
to
incorporate
ways
to
help
people
drive
more
slowly
would
would
be
a
really
important
step
and
I
know
that
the
are
the
Planning
Commission.
Not
the
regional
Planning
Commission
did
some
work
on
this
and
and
had
a
pretty
pretty
nice
presentation
about
how
we
might
be
able
to
enact
some
of
that.
A
H
A
The
next
item
on
the
on
the
agenda,
while
the
chief
gets
up
here,
is
a
presentation
and
discussion
on
violence
prevention
measures,
as
requested
by
the
police
department
and
the
administration
department
and
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
city
manager.
Gleason.
For
some
introductory
comments.
C
Very
brief,
thank
you
mayor
and
Council.
This
was
a
conversation
that
we
had
a
couple
of
months
ago.
Maybe
it
has
not
been
that
long,
Chief
simmington
is
going
to
walk
through
that
previous
presentation
very
briefly,
but
allow
Council
to
have
a
follow-up
conversation
on
this
topic
real
quickly.
C
I
will
also
add
that
what
brought
us
to
the
table,
if
you
will
a
couple
of
months
ago,
was
a
500,
000,
dco
Grant
and
that's
a
state
agency,
the
Department
of
Commerce
and
Economic
Opportunity,
and
it
was
something
that
was
a
part
of
the
current
state
budget
and
we
have
an
excellent
Grant
administrator
that
we
work
with
on
the
Public
Works
side,
the
park
side,
the
police
side,
and
they
have
suggested
that
we
find
current
uses
for
things
that
we've
already
spent
the
money
on
to
in
order
order
to
wrap
up
this
grant
opportunity
before
the
close
of
the
state's
fiscal
year.
C
N
N
Certainly
the
the
police
department
knows
that
we
have
an
obligation
to
advance
in
many
ways
improve
efficiencies,
be
more
responsive
in
ways
to
reduce
violence
in
this
community.
We
have
an
obligation
to
work
with
the
community
and
other
stakeholders
to
ensure
that
we
carry
that
out
in
a
most
appropriate
fashion,
and
this
500
000
Grant
will
certainly
allow
us
to
do
that.
N
Our
strategy
is
to
expand
our
abilities
to
deliver
more
comprehensive
service
to
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
its
residents
being
intentional
and
focused
to
put
to
deploy
preventive
efforts,
while
also
identifying
those
who
carry
out
violence
more
swiftly,
providing
Justice
for
families
who
hurt
on
a
daily
basis.
N
N
What
we've
proposed
spending
the
money
on
has
a
direct
tie-in
to
the
pillars
of
the
the
president's
Administration
and
certainly
stemming
the
flow
of
firearms
and
and
dealing
with
gun
crimes
in
communities
is
important,
having
a
law
enforcement
tool
of
of
community
policing
and
tracking
and
using
the
the
data
associated
with
gun
violence
to
stop
it
on
community
violence
and
intervention,
as
well
as
expanding
summer
programs
for
the
Youth.
N
Those
are
for
the
Five
Pillars
that
the
President
Biden's
Administration
has
put
forth
for
law
enforcement
and,
of
course,
those
have
direct
ties
into
our
current
strategic
plan.
Reducing
crime
and
a
fear
of
crime,
I'm
improving
the
quality
of
life
in
in
our
neighborhoods
and
then
using
technology
to
advance
our
capabilities.
N
So
I
will
talk
about
the
various
proposals.
The
youth
summer
program
is
one
that
we've
actually
built
some
momentum.
The
program
is,
is
being
built
as
as
I
speak
tonight
and
we're
making
some
progress.
We
will
identify
36,
6th,
7th
and
8th
graders
to
participate
in
a
program.
We
expect
my
expectation
that
be
a
diverse
group
of
students
from
a
diverse
background
without
throughout
the
community,
but
also
leveraging
a
school
to
help
us
in
that
process.
N
We've
set
a
date
for
July
10th
through
the
14th
for
for
that
camp,
and
so
far
it's
been
very
promising
and
there's
been
tons
of
interest
from
from
our
stakeholders
and
others
who
who
will
help
us
with
that
program.
Next,
please
tip
411
program.
We
have
launched
the
first
episode
or
the
first
iteration
of
that,
and
the
feedback
has
been
very
positive.
N
We
are
receiving
tips
now
concerning
crimes
that
have
occurred
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
and,
as
that
continues
to
build
momentum,
as
we
continue
to
educate
the
public
on
that
opportunity
to
anonymously
report
crimes
to
us
without
any
fear,
retaliation
or
retribution.
That
tool
will
continue
to
be
beneficial
for
the
police
department
in
our
community.
N
Next,
please
reward
money
for
providing
tips
to
the
police
department.
Again
we
have
a
community
or
Witnesses
I
should
say
that
we've
been
able
to
identify
in
various
crimes
and
they
refuse
to
cooperate.
They
do
not
want
their
names
Associated
as
being
Witnesses
and
crimes.
This
provides
an
opportunity
for
us
to
to
to
use
money
to
incentivize
that
opportunity
and
hopefully
give
them
an
Avenue
to
report
without
having
to
to
worry
about
conflict
from
various
people
that
are
involved
in
in
violence
on
the
retaliatory
Concepts
or
or
worries.
N
We
all
know
that
there's
a
very
small
percentage,
and
usually
it's
about
the
one
to
two
percent
range
of
people
who
are
responsible
responsible
for
the
violence
in
in
a
given
community
and
the
more
we're
able
to
Target
those
those
folks
and
hold
them
responsible
and
have
higher
levels
of
accountability
to
safer.
This
community
will
be
naiben.
The
national
integrated
ballistics
information
network
is
is
a
proven
tool.
It's
working
in
numerous
communities
throughout
the
United
States.
It
is
one
that
was
developed
by
the
ATF.
N
We
that
gun
is
then
taken
to
the
police
department.
If
we
have
this
tool,
we
would
fire
a
couple
test
rounds.
Those
rounds
will
be
dumped
into
the
niben
system
almost
within.
N
You
know
that
next
business
day,
if
the
system
works
efficiently
and
and
as
promised,
it
will
connect
that
gun
to
any
other
unsolved
crimes
throughout
throughout
a
community,
not
only
here
in
Bloomington
but
throughout
the
United
States,
and
so
we've
had
guns
that
we've
we've
been
able
to
find
here
that
have
been
related
to
other
crimes
throughout
throughout
the
United
States,
but
this
tool
will
allow
us
to
to
get
that
information
quicker
sooner
and
be
able
to
hold
those
that
are
involved
in
gun
crimes
responsible
in
a
in
a
faster
way.
N
We
have
a
two-prong,
proactive
gun,
availability
reduction
effort
that
the
team
came
up
with,
and
one
part
of
that
is
a
gun,
buyback
program.
We
know
when,
when
families
lose
loved
ones,
for
instance,
some
are
are
wondering
what
do
I
do
with
with
guns
that
have
been
left
behind.
N
There
are
others
who
just
feel
that
they
do
no
longer
want
a
gun
in
their
household.
This
will
provide
an
opportunity
to
get
those
guns
off
of
the
street
and
therefore
reducing
the
availability
of
them
throughout
a
community.
It's
been
effective
in
various
jurisdictions,
and
this
will
be
the
first
time
that
we
would
try
this
program
locally.
Another
proactive
strategy
is
the
purchase
of
gun
safes
through
either
a
vouchering
system
or
purchasing
safes
to
provide
them
to
Bloomington
residents
who
who
have
guns
and
would
need
a
way
to
secure
them.
N
We
broke
a
record
last
year,
seizing
88
illegally,
possessed
guns,
in
that
it's
very
concerning,
but
again,
the
more
opportunity
we
provide
for
the
residents
to
secure
their
weapons
through
education
through
providing
this
tool
will
allow
us
to
drive
that
statistic
downward
next,
please
and
the
last
two
items
are
Public
Safety
cameras.
The
city
of
Bloomington
enjoys
a
very
Progressive
Public
Safety
camera
system,
and
it
is
one
that's
recognized
nationally.
N
Many
Central
Illinois
cities
call
four
best
practices
that
we
have
here
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
to
help
them
build
and
expand
their
Public
Safety
cameras
as
well.
So
you
should
be
very
proud
of
that,
so
we're
offering
to
purchase
two
additional
Public
Safety
cameras.
We
have
two
currently
that
we
use
and
that's
not
enough.
N
For
instance,
when
23
000
people
came
to
the
tailgate
and
tall
boys
event
last
year,
we
did
not
have
enough
camera
footprint
to
to
cover
the
entirety
of
of
what
we
call
the
the
critical
concern
areas
of
concern
for
Public
Safety.
So
that's
just
one
example
of
how
we
can
can
further
utilize
that,
as
the
city
continues
to
have
public
events,
whether
it's
downtown
or
throughout
the
city
we
want.
N
The
police
department
wants
to
ensure
we
provide
a
safer
environment
for
them,
and
many
people
comment
positively
on
seeing
those
cameras
it
makes
them
feel
safer.
It
provides
assurance
that
you
know
the
police
and
areas
of
protection
are
available
here,
which
is
the
delightful
for
for
their
experience
and
then
the
other
item
is
the
unmanned
aerial
Vehicles,
which
would
provide
video
and
photography
opportunities
for
for
the
police
department
within
the
parameters
of
the
state
law.
N
That
will
be
first
and
foremost,
and
then
also
having
a
accountability
dashboard.
So
the
public
can
see
how
often
we
are
using
such
tool
in
transparency
is
is
imperative
and
we
certainly
understand
it
in
the
last
slide.
Please.
N
So
we're
we've
commenced
the
application
process
with
the
state
of
Illinois
as
city
manager.
Gleason
has
spoken
to
they're
very
responsive,
and
we
hope
that
we
will
have
continual
conversations
so
that
we
do
not
miss
the
opportunity
to
leverage
this
grant
and
then
that
would
certainly
free
up
one
half
million
dollars
that
we're
currently
budgeted
to
make
this
program
come
to
fruition.
J
Thank
you
chief
for
that
presentation
and
for
reminding
us
of
the
the
proposals
that
you
presented
at
the
previous
time.
J
You
were
here
it's
great,
especially
to
know
that
the
time
pressure
is
off
now
that
we've
we've
gone
ahead
with
the
dceo
Grant
application
to
cover
other
expenses,
and
so
that
takes
a
little
bit
of
the
pressure
off
in
terms
of
of
having
to
kind
of
rush
to
to
figure
out
how
we're
gonna
gonna
spend
the
500,
000
and
I'm
I'm
really
glad
that
we're
having
this
opportunity
to
be
able
to
to
talk
through
this
in
a
in
a
thoughtful
manner,
I
appreciate
many
of
the
ideas
that
you've
come
forward
with,
in
particular,
the
the
gun,
buyback
program
and
the
gun
safe
program.
J
Those
those
are
particularly
meaningful
a
few
years
ago
my
dad
died,
and
he
he
owned
at
least
one
firearm,
and
it
would
have
been
nice
at
that
time.
He
didn't
he
wasn't
here
when
we
cleared
out
his
house.
J
His
house
was
out
of
state,
but
it
would
have
been
nice
to
know
that
that
kind
of
thing
was
available
where
he
lived,
and
so
I
could
imagine
that
being
a
really
really
useful
process
for
people
to
be
able
to
tap
into
locally
I
I
also
am
supportive
of
the
reward
money
for
tips.
I
did
have
one
question.
It
sounded
like
from
one
of
the
slides
that
you
were.
You
were
referring
to
something
that's
already
underway.
Is
that
the
case
with
the
4-1-1
tips
or
or
did
I
just
misunderstand
that
no.
N
Ma'am
you,
you
are
correct.
We
we're
currently
in
a
in
the
first
quarter
of
an
agreement
with
that
company
and
would
love
to
have
the
opportunity
to
expand
that
to
multiple
years.
J
Okay,
that's
that's
helpful
to
know
the
so
most
of
these
I
think
are
are
great
ideas.
J
Two
two
items
I
really
would
like
to
or
one
item
I
would
like
to
propose
in
replacement
of
one
of
the
the
items,
and
that
is
I
would
like
to
propose
that
we
engage
as
a
city
in
some
training
with
regard
to
restorative
practices.
I've
made
reference
to
this
before
and
I
wanted
to
to
actually
share
just
an
overview
of
what
restorative
practices
is
for
for
people
who
might
not
be
aware
of
this.
J
This
is
from
The
International
Institute
for
restorative
practices,
and
I
would
just
preface
that
by
saying
that
there
has
been
restorative
practice,
training
on
a
smaller
scale
in
the
community
in
past
years,
probably
about
five.
Six
years
ago,
I
actually
attended
a
training
along
with
some
some
members
of
the
community
and
including
people
within
the
criminal
justice
system
and
so
forth,
but
as
an
overview.
Restorative
practices
is
a
social
science
that
studies
how
to
build
social
capital
and
Achieve
social
discipline
through
participatory
learning
and
decision
making.
J
There's
a
difference
between
restorative
practices
and
restorative
justice.
Restorative
justice
is
a
subset
of
restorative
practices.
Restorative
practices
includes
the
use
of
informal
and
formal
processes
that
precede
wrongdoing,
those
that
proactively
build
relationships
and
a
sense
of
community
to
prevent
conflict
and
wrongdoing
where
Social
Capital,
that
is
a
network
of
relationships,
is
already
well
established.
It's
easier
to
respond
effectively
to
wrongdoing
and
restore
social
order,
as
well
as
to
create
a
healthy
and
positive
organizational
environment.
J
So
it
precedes
social
or
restorative
justice
practices
which
are
more
reactive
after
the
fact.
So
why
am
I
saying
all
this,
because
there
are
shovel
ready
training
programs
for
our
community
available?
That
could
happen
as
soon
as
this
summer
that
that
I
would
propose
would
be
a
better
use
of
of
our
some
of
the
money
that's
being
proposed
for
the
summer
camp
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
summer
camps.
J
I
think
those
are
a
great
great
idea,
but
I
think
that
first,
it
would
be
useful
to
train
more
Community
leaders
in
restorative
practices
and
then
move
forward
with
with
the
summer
camps
and
other
programming.
Once
we've
got
the
leadership
who
are
trained
and
so
I'm
proposing
that
we
we
table
the
idea
of
the
summer
camps
for
a
Time
and
instead
put
that
use
that
money
to
use
on
some
training
a
summer
camp,
if
you
will
for
leaders
in
our
community,
including
in
the
police
department
and
other
community
leaders
in
restorative
practices.
J
So
that's
one
item
I'm
a
little
skeptical
of
the
need
for
the
drones,
given
that
the
town
of
normal
also
is,
is
seeking
to
have
some
drones.
J
I
I
don't
have
as
strong
feelings
about
that
as
I
do
about
the
restorative
practices,
but
I
would
simply
lift
up.
You've
talked
about
cooperation
in,
in
other
terms,
especially
around
the
ballistics
and
and
ways
that
that
we're
a
leader
in
cooperating
and
sharing
our
our
technology,
around
surveillance,
cameras
and
so
forth.
Can
we
also
maybe
draw
on
the
cooperation
of
others
to
to
use
that
money
and
not
duplicate
the
efforts?
O
All
right,
thank
you.
Mr
Mayor,
I,
I'm,
really
encouraged
by
what
I
see
here
and
all
that
and
and
I
do
have
a
question
about
the
camps.
I
just
I
saw
the
number
of
36
young
people
that
would
be
targeted
for
this
with
a
forty
thousand
dollar
price
tag
for
that
one
week.
Camp
and
you
know
so
that
equates
to
just
over
a
thousand
dollars
a
young
person,
that's
a
pretty
expensive,
one-week,
Camp
and
so
I
guess.
O
O
N
N
Our
school
resource
officers
are
taking
a
lead,
they're
they're
very
excited
to
do
this
this
summer
is
their
off
time,
they're,
not
in
school,
of
course,
serving
kids,
so
they
thought
this
would
be
an
opportunity
to
serve
kids
further
and
when,
when
setting
the
parameters,
we
want
it
to
be
a
diverse
opportunity.
We
are
looking
for
kids,
who
are
in
need
of
mentorship,
who
are
in
need
of
of
engaging
in
the
summer
time
when,
of
course
they
they
may
not
have
much
else
to
do.
We're.
N
Also
looking
at
this,
perhaps
as
an
opportunity
to
further
expose
kids
to
the
field
of
law
enforcement
for
long-term
investments
into
attracting.
N
N
We
we
are
deferring
this
first
iteration
the
opportunity
for
that
selection
group
from
from
teachers-
and
you
know
the
school
resource
officers
know
the
kids
very
well,
and
so
they'll
they'll
have
some
some
input
as
well
and,
and
there
will
be
an
application
process,
we
have
to
get
waivers
from
parents
and
then
encouraging
their
participation
as
well,
because
we
want
to
tap
into
that
engagement
opportunity
with
them.
N
You
know
as
well,
and
so
we
we
haven't
developed,
fully
developed
those
requirements
yet
but
they're
in
in
process
now,
and
we
hope
to
have
something
final
to
be
able
to
send
those
applications
out
by
April
is
is
the
anticipated
date.
So
we
can
identify
the
children
before
May,
1st,
okay,
I,
hope,
I've
addressed
your
question.
Yeah.
K
Thank
you,
Marin.
Thank
you,
chisha
mcton
for
that
presentation.
K
I,
like
many
of
the
proposals,
one
of
the
best
I
think
are
the
gun,
buyback
and
the
gun
safes
I
know
you,
you
and
your
department
have
been
working
with
be
smart,
the
organization,
because
there's
good
and
bad
ways,
I
think
great,
that
you
can
use
those
programs
and,
and
so
it
sounds
like
you're,
like
other
things,
trying
to
use
best
practices
for
that
and
I
I
noted
I.
Think
in
your
statement
that
you
know
Public
Safety
I
think
is
not
one-dimensional.
K
So
you
know,
Public
Safety
is
broader
than
policing
violence.
Prevention
is
broader
than
policing
and-
and
so
you
know,
I'm
in
agreement
with
a
council
member
Ward
on
looking
at
a
restorative
type
of
of
program
and
wanted
to
see
you
know
what
your
experience
is
with
that
and
what
your
opinion
is
of
that.
N
Yes,
sir,
so
I've
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
spend
time
with
Mr
Kevin
Jones,
who
is,
is
a
local
trainer.
Some
of
you
may
may
know
him,
and
so
we've
we've
had
some
some
conversations.
N
Our
our
sros
school
resource
officers
have
received
a
training.
There
are
some
other
folks
on
our
staff
who
have
received
some
of
the
training
and
it's
there's
a
place
for
it.
It's
a
very
Progressive,
comprehensive
way
of
of
getting
to
the
table
for
people
to
come
together
and
and
bring
ideas
and
talk
through
it
and
have
an
opportunity
to
listen,
and
we
we
understand
it
that
that's
that's
important
and
so
we're
you
know.
N
Restorative
practices
are,
are
proven
programs,
you
know
if
if
the
participants
are
engaged-
and
it's
it's,
my
understanding
that
they
are
training
throughout
this
community
Bloomington
normal
in
in
the
county
on
an
ongoing
basis,
but
I
I
can't
attest
to
how
much
training
has
has
occurred
within
the
community,
but
certainly
we've
we've
been
at
the
table.
We've
had
some
of
those
discussions.
K
N
Mr
crabill,
yes,
there
there
are.
Certainly
there
are
studies
that
say
that
there
are
other
studies
that
have
you
know
concerns
about
the
overuse
of
of
Street
lighting.
N
K
K
You
know:
renew
problem-oriented,
policing
approaches,
engage
community
members
and
Community
groups
from
neighborhoods
disproportionately
affected
by
crime
by
forming
problem-solving
Partnerships
and
then
even
the
engagement
unit
right.
One
of
its
goals
is
to
strengthen
bonds,
build
trust
between
the
police
department,
the
community,
the
trust,
creative
maintainable
for
collaborative
problem,
solving
crime
prevention
and
safer
neighborhoods.
So
I
think
restorative
justice
is
supported
by
the
pillars
and
the
goals
of
the
police
department
I,
also
and
looking
at
ways
that
maybe
we
could
spend
money
on
restorative
justice.
K
What
could
we
potentially
cut
and
use
later?
You
know
I
think
we
there's
two
tip
programs
in
this,
and
and
maybe
we
see
how
the
the
text
a
tip
works
right,
it's
starting
to
work
well
and
and
Witnesses
if
they're
paid
money
I'm,
not
sure
if
that
is
the
right
incentive.
If
they're
worried
about
their
safety
right
and
then
on
drones,
since
they
have
a
limited
use
right
now,
I
know
there's
a
bill
right
to
expand
its
use.
K
Why
not?
You
know
the
cameras
that
that
we
already
have,
and
that
are
part
of
of
this-
this
program
use
those
for
events,
things
like
that
until
drones
can
be
better
used
and,
and
so
I
will
leave
it
with
that.
Thank
you.
L
Yeah
actually
I
I,
like
your
suggestions
and
recommendations
for
the
use
of
the
money.
I
do
know
that
the
behavioral
health
coordinating
Council
has
the
majority
of
the
participants
are
from
non-profits
and
many
of
the
programs
and
initiatives
that
are
being
proposed
and
actually
working
on
have
to
do
with
developing
relationships.
Mentoring,
not
just
primarily
for
Behavioral
issues,
which
is
what
leads
you
to
criminal
activity
and
then
I
also
know
that
there
I
just
got
an
email
today.
L
Actually
there
are
grants
available
for
the
email
was
from
the
criminal
justice,
coordinating
Council
and
there's
several
grants
coming
forward
that
are
based
towards
youth
and
probably
after
they
got
in
trouble.
But
I
know
that
the
goal
of
that
coordinating
council
is
to
keep
keep
the
kids
out
of
the
system.
They
might
go
to
the
court,
but
they
are
processed
in
a
sense
that
we
are
going
to
help.
L
You
so
I
think
that
that
framework
is
already
available
in
a
community
and
the
the
behavioral
health
coordinating
council
is
basically
paid
for
from
local
sales.
Tax
I
don't
know
about
the
criminal
justice,
but
we
do
pay
property
tax
Bloomington
as
the
county
seat.
So
anything
you
know
that
happens
here.
L
We
I'm
proud
of
all
the
work
that's
done
in
this
community
for
addressing
youth.
We
have
so
many
a
wonderful
organizations
that
do
spend
time
with
youth,
try
to
prevent
people
from
getting
into
trouble
and
if
they
do
to
try
to
help
them
steer
in
the
right
direction
and
I
want
to
celebrate
that.
Rather
than
criticize
it
I
think,
there's
always
room
for
improvement
and
I'm
curious.
What
the
shovel
ready
programs
are
that
we
can
jump
into
that
are
not
already
in
place.
A
Okay,
before
you
answer
I,
we
have
I
see
the
clock
there
at
zero.
So
is
there
a
motion
to
extend
by.
A
Really,
like
you,
is
there
a
second.
A
L
Alderman
Ward
mentioned
civil
ready
projects
in
the
city.
N
I
received
the
same
email
today
and
that
email
went
to
a
plethora
of
of
other
Community
leaders
and
not-for-profit
organizations
in
the
community
and-
and
so
my
team
will
be
looking
at
that-
to
see
if
there's
anything
that
we
could
leverage
with
with
the
reorganization
of
of
the
department,
we
added
a
grant
a
lead,
Grant
person
with
who
will
be
hyper,
focused
on
grant
opportunities,
whether
that's
Traffic,
Safety,
Public,
Safety,
violence
reduction,
and
so
we
are
doing
our
best
to
identify
grant
opportunities
in
the
future
and
to
leverage
those,
but
also
to
bring
other
interested
parties
stakeholders
to
the
table.
N
N
You
know
whether
it's
coordinating
Justice
Council,
you
know,
there's
a
variety
from
the
jewel
Foundation
I
just
met
with
them
last
week
to
have
have
discussions.
The
Boys
and
Girls
Club
we've
been
very
present.
There
we've
been
very
present
at
the
Western
Avenue
Community
Center,
Big
Brothers
and
Sisters
YMCA
YWCA.
So
with
you
know,
with
all
of
those
organizations
that
are
out
there,
we
we
want
to
be
present.
N
We
are
better
engaging
them
with
the
community
engagement
unit
and
we
know
that
the
sky
is
the
limit
and
and
we
we
are
making
differences
in
collaboration
with
others.
L
A
Thank
you.
Let
me
I'll
give
you
a
chance
to
people
who
haven't
spoken
yet
council,
member.
M
Council
member
Bolin
kind
of
teed
this
up
for
me,
because
I
was
going
to
comment
on
collaboration
and
coordination.
This
as
well
it
there
I
thought
your
response
about
the
impact
of
restorative
practices
is
was
was
right
on
because
I
I've
found
a
meta-analysis
that
dictated
especially
for
youth.
M
It
could
be
incredible
an
incredible
tool,
especially
if
it's
built
into
sustainable,
ongoing
support,
but
there
has
to
be
engagement
and
investment
I'm
wondering
if
there's
a
way
to
combine
the
summer
camp
initiative,
especially
if
school
resource
officers
are
going
to
play
leadership
roles
in
that
with
with
something
that
that
Kevin
Jones
as
a
certified
trainer
might
offer
or
to
open
it
up
to
other
community
leaders
and
and
have
have
these
young
people
engage
in
the
practices
and
then
can
go,
go
in
and
be
leaders
in
their
school
communities,
I'm,
not
sure,
but
I
there
might
be
a
way
to
do
a
bit
of
both
and
I
was
I
was
reminded
recently
of
alderman
Becker's
comments
about
Dr
Frank
Beck
at
the
Stevenson
Center
and
I
I,
reached
out
to
him
recently
and
and
just
sent
him
the
SIU
article
about
how
violence
prevention
funds
were
being
used
in
Carbondale.
M
He
was
very
intrigued
with
that
and
said:
oh,
let's
have
a
conversation
there
there
are.
There
might
be
opportunities
for
future
collaboration
and
I'm
hearing.
If
other
grants
are
coming
coming
forward
or
there's
an
opportunity
to
apply
for
this
kind
of
funding,
then
why
not
get
everybody
at
the
table
about
what
we're
already
doing?
What
and
what
might
or
could
be
possibly
enhanced
or
studied
so
that
we
Implement
something
that
really
is
needed
and
it's
a
collaborative
effort.
M
So
the
I
know
that
Dr
Beck
provides
a
data
to
the
the
criminal
justice
coordinating
Council
and-
and
he
was
intrigued
by
by
what's
happening
at
SIU
and
and
Dr
Beck's
style
was-
was
eager
to
have
more
conversations.
So
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
potential
here
and
working
together
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
me.
J
Yeah
in
response,
we
have
three
minutes
we
might
need
to
extend,
but
in
response
to
to
Alderman
bolin's
question
about
what
shovel
ready
programs
were
out,
there,
I
was
assuming
she
was
referring
to
me
since
I
used.
J
That
comment
and
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
one
of
them
is
a
restorative
practices,
training
that
would
be,
let's
see
five
ten
days
long
and
could
be
for
up
to
about
20
Community
leaders,
who
would
then
be
able
to
use
that
training
to
continue
on
and
provide
more
training
for
other
people
and
use
those
skills
rather
than
just
a
one-off
kind
of
thing.
J
But
those
folks
would
then
be
able
to
use
those
skills
in
a
broader
sense
in
the
community,
and
that
would
involve
an
overview
of
the
restorative
practices
framework,
numerous
restorative
practices,
practices,
restorative
policing
and
Community,
Partnership
and
restorative
leadership,
and
that
is,
as
I
said,
something
that
would
be
ready
to
go.
I
can
forward
you
proposals
with
regard
to
that
by
people
who
are
certified
trainers.
So
that's
what
I
was
referring
to
is
in
terms
of
shovel
ready
projects
and
I'd
be
happy
to
share
that
with
you
very
happy
to.
H
Just
an
observation,
a
lot
of
the
violent
crime
that
I
read
about
in
the
local
media
here
is
committed
by
people
who
don't
live
on
our
community,
so
just
acknowledging
that,
while
there's
I'm
sure
opportunity
to
continue
the
good
work
going
on
here
in
Bloomington.
Some
of
these
other
tactics
that
you're
talking
about
are
tactics
that
will
help
provide
for
the
safety
of
our
people,
acknowledging
that
some
of
those
perpetrators
are
not
from
here.
A
Oh,
thank
you.
Okay!
Well,
no
more
need
for
any
more
time,
so
I
I
think
you
know
from
from
what
I've
heard
I
overall
generally,
people
are
in
favor
of
what
the
chief
has
proposed
with
some
minor
tweaks
here
or
there.
A
However,
what
I
would
say
is
that
I
I
do
feel
I
I,
think
people
feel
Bound
by
the
number
500
000.,
but
I
I
think
there
is
certainly
opportunity
down
the
line
if
we
want
to
add
something
else
like
this
restorative
practices:
training,
depending
on
what
the
cost
is
that
there
is
opportunities
for
that,
because
we
are
responsible
for
the
budget
and
we
can
certainly
make
additions
as
we
you
know,
as
we
we
see
necessary,
so
I
I,
just
kind
of
wanted
to
sum
that
up
for
for
everyone
and
personally
I
would
be
in
favor
of
you
know
at
some
point
the
the
chief
bringing
back.
A
A
A
Okay,
okay
sounds
good,
so
that
is
what
I
see
and
I
think
we're
ready
to
to
move
to
the
next
step
on
the
on
the
agenda,
which
is
thank
you
very
much.
A
C
Thank
you,
mayor
and
Council
