A
D
A
E
Thank
You
mayor
and
council
under
Mike
Ovid
comments
for
tonight.
I
just
wanted
to
share
a
couple
of
things:
the
partial
return
to
work
again
we
had
about
250
employees
that
we
sent
homes
mid-march
to
work
from
home.
June
1st
marked
a
change
in
that
where
we
had
up
to
50
percent
of
the
employees
at
sent
home
returned
to
work,
and
that
was
based
on
a
department
directors
plan
for
each
individual
Department
City
facility
facilities
are
open
by
appointment
and
we
have
been
open
from
day
one
at
the
arena.
E
Not
surprisingly,
we've
really
have
a
stacked
docket
over
the
past
couple
of
months
of
not
being
able
to
do
this
so
we'll
be
at
City
Hall.
But
entry
is
going
to
be
at
the
direction
of
legal
staff,
letting
people
in
no
more
than
ten
at
a
time.
So
those
attending
administrative
court
will
be
escorted
into
the
council
chambers.
F
E
So
we've
got
something
that
has
some
pop
to
it
and
some
color
and
it's
an
opportunity
again
during
this
phase,
three
of
kovat
nineteen.
So
and
then
some
good
news
and
Scott
Rathbun
will
expand
on
this
during
the
council
meeting
on
the
22nd
for
the
finance
directors
report.
But
there's
a
cabin
in
a
there's,
a
combination
of
things
that
have
occurred
during
Kovan.
E
We
had
pretty
conservative
projections
on
what
our
losses
would
be
and
what
revenues
would
look
like
amidst
kovin
19,
a
combination
of
bless
spending
during
this
time,
more
so
on
seasonal,
hires
and
stuff,
like
that
versus
foregoing
equipment
purchases
and
foregoing
different
projects.
We've
also
ended
the
FY
20
year,
better
than
what
we
even
projected,
even
though
there
was
a
month
and
a
half
of
that
during
kovat
and
revenues.
E
At
least
up
to
this
point
have
been
I,
don't
want
to
say
strong,
but
they
have
definitely
been
better
than
what
we
project
it
and
we
think
that
we're
going
to
hit
about
a
million
dollars
better
than
what
we
were
projecting
for
the
kovat
loss
of
revenue.
So
that
was
good
news.
That's
all
I've
got
mayor
and
council
under
Kovac
comments.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
G
Here,
how
is
everybody
this
evening?
Okay,
thank
you.
You've
got
the
floor
all
right.
Three
minutes,
I'm
gonna
break
this
into
three
segments.
One
mr.
mayor
do
appreciate
your
response
to
the
looters
that
seem
to
be
mostly
local
at
Cole's
a
couple
weeks
ago.
Glad
you
weren't
seriously
injured.
The
only
question
I
would
have
I'd
be
wondering
how
many
of
those
looters
are
actually
present
at
some
of
the
protests
that
were
scheduled
by
some
of
our
council
members
that
were
present.
G
That's
my
first
part.
The
second
part
is
I.
Just
read
from
Chuck
Erickson
that
in
McLean
County
only
14
people
are
hospitalized
due
to
Koba.
19
majority
have
recovered.
Why
exactly
are
we
holding
this
up?
Is
it
because
your
your
fealty
to
Governor
Pritzker
and
his
laksa
days
ago,
response
to
this
I
mean
because
everybody
knows
he's
going
off:
Chicago,
not
downstate,
you
sure
they
opened
this
town
up.
It's
really
sad.
G
The
Chuck
Erickson,
the
McLean
County
Board
member
has
more
foresight
than
the
Bloomington
City
Council
and
the
normal
town
council,
not
to
mention
other
small
communities.
And
thirdly,
let's
get
to
the
best
part.
I'll
keep
this
short
and
sweet
I
had
breakfast
this
morning,
you
parked
for
you
in
I,
want
to
thank
Jencarlos
new
new
Facebook,
page
voices
of
justice.
Air
quotes
involved
for
showing
me
why
I
should
go
for
breakfast
tomorrow,
I'm
going
to
Roy
raps
get
a
blue
line.
G
Put
on
my
back
window,
I
really
think
Jen
as
a
city
council,
member
stuff
like
that,
should
be
ver
button.
That
means
forbidden
in
case
you
don't
know
German,
and
you
should
probably
think
about
resigning
from
the
council.
If
that's
how
you
want
to
play
it,
you
probably
take
your
Lackey
jeff
kraebel
with
you
when
you
go
no
place
for
that
kind
of
divisive
nasai
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
at
all.
That's
all
I've
got
mayor.
Y'all
have
a
good
evening.
B
A
Thank
you
very
much
at
this
point.
We're
going
to
move
to
our
consent
agenda
and
the
consent
agenda
involves
minutes,
because
those
are
the
only
that's
the
only
thing
we
would
act
on
in
the
community,
the
whole,
of
course,
and
their
minutes
from
April
20th,
April
22nd
a
special
session
and
then
the
minutes
of
the
April
27th,
regular
City
Council
meeting
these
are
all
minutes.
Are
there
any
items
to
be
removed
from
the
consent
agenda?
Mayor.
B
A
Oh
here
we
go
council
member,
well
I
got
into
this
or
cranial
and
then
Cuddy.
Oh
yes,.
A
A
Is
there
a
second
to
that,
madam
clerk,
can
you
see
I
can't
I'm
looking
for
hands
yeah.
A
A
H
Yes,
mayor
I'd
like
to
move
to
amend
the
minutes
for
April,
20th
and
I
refer
to
page
2
of
those
minutes
and
to
my
comment
and
I'll
read
the
comment,
as
is
as
it
exists,
and
and
what
I
would
like
to
amend
it
to
so
currently,
it
reads:
councilmember
Kramer
crave,
we'll
ask
how
covered
limits
were
determined
and
whether
reduced
limits
could
be
considered.
Mr.
Nugent
responded
and
listed
the
multiple
factors
and
variables
that
were
considered
when
making
coverage
limit
suggestions,
councilmember
Crabill
and
mr.
Newton
discussed
workers,
compensation,
retentions,
business,
interruption,
insurance
and
property
coverage.
H
What
I
would
like
to
add
to
that
would
be
mr.
cable
asked
if
the
city's
coverage
would
apply
to
any
copa90
impacts,
while
mr.
Nugent
questioned
whether
coverage
would
apply,
he
did
say
that
he
has
directed
the
city's
third-party
administrator
to
make
a
business
interruption
claim
with
the
city's
property
insure
do
to
FEMA
requirements.
I
believe
that
is
an
accurate
summary
based
on
my
review
of
YouTube
meeting
and
I.
Think
it's,
even
though
this
is
a
summary
in
the
minutes.
I
think
it
does
reflect
an
important
point
with
regard
to
coverage.
D
A
Motion
carries
Madame
port
no
nays
to
announce.
We
move
right
along
into
our
presentation,
discussion
and
direction
on
future
agenda
topics
and
the
first
one
under
6a
is
discussion
and
direction
on
an
all
romantic
initiative
proposal
to
bring
the
downtown
task
force
report
back
to
the
council
for
acceptance,
as
requested
by
councilmember
Jamie
Massey,
and
at
this
point
again
there
there
there's
no
recommended
motion,
but
we
do
have
a
lot
in
about
five
minutes
for
councilmember
Matthew
to
clarify
and
then
approximately
a
20-minute
council
discussion,
so
Jamie
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
you.
A
E
Think,
mayor
and
council,
the
appropriate
next
step.
It's
at
the
committee
of
the
whole
for
a
council
initiative
there'll
be
a
quick
thumbs
up
thumbs
down.
Maybe
some
comment
to
see
if
this
makes
it
to
the
next
step.
The
next
step
is
tonight
where
council
discusses
in
greater
detail
what
Jamie
you
had
in
mind
with
this
specific
council
initiative.
Now
what
we
did,
and
even
in
my
council
update
I
shared
with
everyone
that
there
was
no
staff
presentation
and
in
fact
we
brill
not
prepared
for
anything,
but
I
do
have
Melissa
hon.
E
That's
on
the
line
that
can
take
some
questions.
We
shared
the
downtown
task
force
final
report
that
was
from
the
fall
of
2017
and
then
also
we
did
provide
what
we
felt
were
some
of
the
accomplishments
that
could
be
tied
to
the
downtown
task
force
that
have
occurred
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
Okay,.
J
I
apologize,
I,
miss
I,
missed
the
the
no
staff
report,
part
of
the
your
email
Tim,
sorry
about
that.
So
okay,
then
yeah.
Why?
Why
do
I
want
to
bring
this
back
in
and
the
big
part
about
this
is
is
I
think
that
there
was
a
lot
of
really
good
ideas
that
were
in
this
report
that
were
to
use
the
colloquialism
thrown
the
baby
was
thrown
out
with
the
bathwater.
J
When
some
of
the
portions
of
the
downtown
task
force
report
were
bogged
down
in
controversy,
the
way
that
the
entire
process
went
through,
there's
still
a
lot
of
really
good
ideas
in
there
and
initially
when
Tim
was
hired.
He
said:
hey,
there's
some
good
ideas
in
here
and
we're
just
gonna
start
working
on
some
of
these
things
and
knocking
out
some
low-hanging
fruit
as
we
go
along
and
that
has
happened
in
a
bunch
of
areas
and
the
staff
has
done
a
really
good
job.
J
There's
there's
stuff
like
partnering,
with
McLean
County
at
the
Museum
and
at
the
law
and
justice
center
that
have
gone
well
and
Front
Street
was
remade
and
we
did
made
some
really
good
progress
at
Front
Street.
So
some
of
the
portions
of
this
have
gone
well.
However,
we've
had
a
couple
of
misses
that
had
happened
as
well,
one
of
the
things
that
was
in
the
report.
J
J
Therefore,
we
didn't
think
that
was
important
to
the
council,
so
I'm
bringing
this
back
because
there's
still
pieces
inside
of
this
report
that
are
important,
that
we
look
at
and
talk
about.
They
don't
have
to
be
discussed
or
they
don't
have
to
be
automatically
done
the
way
it
is
in
the
plan.
However,
I
would
like
to
see
them
to
become
staff
discussion
points
so
that,
if
we're
going
to
do
something
with
other
streets,
then
we
look
at
what
does
it
cost
to
run
electrical
conduit?
J
If
we're
going
to
restrike
the
streets,
then
we
look
at
what
does
the
downtown
task
force
say
if
we're
going
to
tear
up
sidewalks
in
an
area
for
infrastructure
repairs?
What
does
the
streetscaping
plan
in
the
task
force,
what
the
discrete
streetscaping
plan
look
like,
and
how
do
we
rebuild
things
when
we're
tearing
them
up
anyway?
J
So
that's
the
the
high
level
concept
of
why
I
wanted
to
bring
this
back
is
I
want
staff
to
have
direction
that
when
we
it's
time
to
do
things
here
are
some
guidelines
and
then
I
expect
I
would
like
them
to
bring
it
back
to
us
with
their
best
ideas
of
how
to
move
forward,
as
opposed
to
the
assumption
that
it
wasn't
important
to
us
and
therefore
the
status
quo
is
fine.
Okay,.
I
E
Actually,
what
I'm
doing
at
the
second
step
of
the
council
initiative,
which
is
what
councils
approved,
is
we're
just
sitting
back
today?
You
know
we're
not
going
to
not
comment
if
there's
a
quick
question
that
we
can
respond
to,
which
is
why
Melissa's
on
the
line
also
a
deputy
city
manager
Tyus.
But
if
the
outcome
of
this
meeting
is
that
there
is
a
formal
request
of
staff
to
present
what
we've
accomplished
for
us
to
walk
through
the
downtown
task
force
final
report
and
break
it
down.
E
I
That's
that's
exactly
I,
guess
the
the
direction
I'm,
giving
at
least
speaking
for
myself
I
think
it
would
be
super
helpful,
not
necessarily
to
go
through
each
part
of
the
plan
because
you're
right
it
is
online
and
those
who
are
interested
in
it
have
looked
at
it
but
more.
The
status
updates
of
you
know
putting
things
in
different
buckets
of
things.
We've
already
done
things
like
low-hanging
fruits
that
we
can
see
happen
in
the
next
couple
here
go
on.
That
would
be
super
helpful
to
me.
C
Great
trying
to
get
unmuted
yeah
so
I
mean
we
can.
Definitely
you
know
if
it's
helpful
for
everyone
for
us
to
go
through
and
review
what
we've
done
in
relation
to
you
know
each
part,
a
recommendation
of
the
downtown
task
force
final
report
be
more
than
happy
to
do
that
was
just
trying
to
and
in
what
I
said,
just
provide
a
brief
summary
of
what
we've
been
able
to
do
so
far,
the
department.
C
You
know:
we've
we've
been
around
for
a
little
over
a
year
now,
so
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
have
been
able
to
do.
There
are
things
that
we're
currently
working
on
and
a
lot
of
things
we
were
really
excited
about
that
got
put
on
hold,
unfortunately,
on
due
to
Coba
19,
so
you
know
more
than
happy
to
to
walk
through
and
present
those
items
individually.
If
that
will
be
helpful.
H
A
Thank
you
cool,
but
just
to
also
to
clarify
the
process
that
the
City
Council
put
together
to
have
items
placed
on
the
agenda
through
automatic
requests
was
supposed
to
start
out
with.
Is
there
support
to
even
talk
about
something?
So
that's
that's
kind
of
where
we
are
here
so
staff
didn't
necessarily
have
any
direction
other
than
the
council
wanted
to
talk
about
this
and
I
think
they.
Mr.
Gleason
did
sent
out
the
taskforce
report
to
kind
of
get
us
all
up
to
speed
of
some
of
the
council.
A
F
Sorry
I
have
to
amuse
myself
here.
You
know
at
the
risk
of
repeating
what
everyone
has
said
already
I
do
remember
last
time
I
was
you
know
amongst
those,
and
I
feel
was
my
suggestion
to
put
it
on
the
commune
to
hold
just
so
we
could
kind
of
understand
where
we
are
because
the
staff
has
been
doing
a
number
of
things
in
the
in
the
busyness
of
what
they
do
and
what
we
do.
It's
very
easy
to
miss
what
has
already
been
accomplished.
F
L
K
L
L
One
of
the
things
I
would
like
to
understand
is
what
actually
is
the
vision
or
goal
for
downtown?
Is
it
simply
for
attracting
activities
and
festivals?
Is
that
you
know
what
is
it
supposed
to
really
look
like
historic?
The
plan
says
that
it
should
be
viewed
as
pre-world
War
two
or
is
it
supposed
to
be
whimsical
with
multicolored
crosswalks?
L
So
I
would
like
to
have
the
council
sort
of
direct
their
conversation
to
that
and
I
also
am
very
supportive
of
having
it
unified,
which
means,
if
you
look
at
the
signage,
that's
gonna
come
forward.
That's
kind
of
a
classic
semi
Art
Deco
style,
which
is
that's
historic,
I
get
that
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
the
benches
and
any
other
amenities
that
are
put
in
there
go
along
the
same
style,
I
I.
Really.
L
L
L
Yeah
include
connect
transit
in
this,
because,
if
we
close
off
some
of
the
streets
that
we'll
have
rewrote,
connect,
transit
and
to
be
honest,
I
would
like
to
have
some
nice-looking
bus
stops
downtown
instead
of
the
butterfly
seats
that
are
currently
located
downtown.
So
that's
all
I
have
to
say
thanks.
F
K
You
mayor
I
would
say
in
a
nutshell,
this
the
downtown
plan
sections
one
two
and
three
and
I
agree
that
at
this
point,
section
four
can
be
can
be
moved
off
of
the
proposal
or
of
the
original
plan
and
I
think
when
alderman
math
he
brought
it
up.
That
was
his
intent.
It
looks
like
it's
primarily
about
preserving
aesthetics,
green
space,
walkability
and
some
reference
to
historic
structures.
I
think
those
details
that
alderman
Bolan
or
older
person
Bolin
brought
up
are
really
important
to
consider.
K
But
that
feels
like
the
next
step,
like
what
needs
to
happen
is
passage
of
sections
one
through
three
and
including
additional
areas
of
opportunity.
On
page
16,
there
is
a
the
first
thing
is
to
partner
with
normal
and
the
Illinois
Department
of
Transportation
in
McLean,
County,
and
and
so
we
we
have
a
lot
of
those
opportunities
written
into
this
plan,
but
then
how
it
happens,
the
color
schemes,
the
parking,
the
the
process,
the
the
funding,
would
be.
K
D
M
Back
and
forth-
and
so
you
know
whatever
we
see
I
think
is
I'm
fine
with
you
know,
and
Jamie,
and
his
email
today
did
a
really
great
job
of
summarizing.
A
lot
of
the
key
components
and
I
would
argue,
at
least
from
what
I've
seen
the
problem
with
downtown,
really
isn't:
financial,
its
political
and
I.
At
some
point
in
time
we
just
had
to
take
a
vote.
Not
all
of
us
are
going
to
be
on
board,
but
we're
going
to
do
our
best,
because
there
are
so
many
divergent
reviews
of
opinions.
M
So
maybe
I
say
that
knowing
at
full
well,
I
could
be
in
a
4
and
a
5
for
decision,
but
you
know
I
think
the
inaction,
the
policy
choices
that
we
have
to
confront,
because
I
can
just
say
that
you
know
what
was
down
downtown
this
weekend
for
the
farmers
market
well-attended
seen
a
lot
of
folks
out
having
meals
at
or
socially
distance
and
following
the
rules
at
the
various
restaurants
there
and
people
have
just
been
raving
about.
We
want
to
see
more
of
that.
M
We
want
to
see
more
people
out,
engage
in
the
community
and
and
those
type
of
things,
so
I
really
view
this
as
a
way
to
facilitate
that
you
know
I'm
willing
to
try
anything
I.
Remember
the
hot
issue
a
couple
years
ago
was
closing
down.
Jefferson
Street,
you
know,
I,
don't
mean
in
favor
of
that
I
don't
know.
If
that
would
have
a
traction,
but
I
guess
my
direction
to
staff
would
be.
You
know,
throw
something
out
there
in
alignment
with
the
downtown
task
force
or
ever
whatever
report.
We
want
a
reference.
M
I
Yeah
I'm,
absolutely
in
agreement
with
what
alderman
black
just
shared
I,
think
people
are
feeling
like.
We
sometimes
let
perfect
be
the
enemy
of
good
and
we've.
Just
you
know
we
get
stuck
in
a
holding
pattern,
waiting
for
everybody
to
sign
off.
I.
Think
folks,
just
want
to
see
us
take
action
downtown
and
even
if
we
don't
get
it
perfect,
I
think
folks
would
rather
see
us
move
then
spend
another.
I
Several
years
like
coming
up
with
another
report
that
maybe
gets
shelves,
or
maybe
it
gets
done
so
so
I
think
as
a
first
step,
it
makes
sense
to
adopt
the
plan,
but
I
also
don't
want
us
to
think
like
that's
sort
of
our
one
and
done
for
downtown.
For
this
moment,
I
would
I
would
accept
that,
with
the
caveat
that
we're
beginning
a
new
process,
because
that
report
is
also
a
little
bit
dated
and
I've
gotten
very
similar
feedback
to
stop
when
I've
been
downtown
these
past
couple
weeks.
I
People
are
like
we
love
this,
like
we
love
how
walkable
it
is.
We
love
how
bikable
it
is.
This
is
what
we
should
have
been
doing
all
along,
like
we
don't
want
this
to
go
away,
so
it
feels
like
we
have
a
lot
of
really
good
opportunities
to
make
some
permanent
changes
now
that
our
like
downtown
life
has
already
been
disrupted
by
disrupted
by
something
outside
of
our
control
like
I,
do
think
we
have
an
opportunity
that
doesn't
last
forever
and
so
yeah.
I
H
Thank
You
mayor
and
I'm
not
going
to
speak
for
Jamie,
but
I
think
he
was
kind
of
looking
for
some,
some
things
that
wouldn't
be
too
controversial
to
kind
of
run
through
and
not
necessarily
talk
about
everything
globally
and
I
certainly
agree
with
that.
I
also
agree
with
what
Donna
has
talked
about
with
regard
to
what
do
we
vision
our
downtown
Bloomington
to
be
and
I?
Don't
think
we
have
a
clear
vision
right
now
and
you
know
a
lot
of
people
compare
us
to
normal
and
the
vision
that
they
had
20
years
ago.
H
People
not
everybody,
agrees
with
that
vision
that
are
now,
but
it's
a
vision
that
they
put
forward
and
they
pretty
much
lived
up
to
that
vision
and
deciding
what
to
do
what
projects
to
approve
and
not
you're
proven
I'm,
not
saying
we
have
normals
planned,
but
we
need
to
have
a
plan
and
that's
something
I
think
a
lot
of
people
have
been
asking.
You
know
for
a
long
time
and
it's
hard
to
make
what
you
do.
C
H
J
J
This
was
the
next
step
and
it
feels
a
little
bit
like
we're
read
reading
what
we
voted
on
last
month
in
some
ways
we're
having
a
greater
discussion
and
I
appreciate
that,
but
I
realized
the
error
that
I
had
there
so
and
I'm
great
talking
about
it
here
and
I'm
great
talking
about
it
in
with
all
of
you
individually,
whatever
the
whatever
the
best
way
to
do.
That
is
to
go
to
a
donna
said.
J
It
was
what
is
our
vision
of
downtown
and
what
is
what
is
downtown
and
to
me
it
boils
down
into
a
couple
things,
and
in
downtown
has
become
for
many
people,
a
destination
location
right
and
that's
really
what
the
vision
for
downtown
is.
If
we,
if
we
look
at
the
state
of
Illinois
and
state
of
Illinois
tourism,
there
are
three
driving
factors
for
the
state
chicago
abraham,
lincoln
and
route
66,
and
actually
the
order
is
number
one.
Last
I
heard
number
one
was
route.
66
two
was
Chicago,
three
was
Abraham
Lincoln.
J
We
have
two
of
those
three
things
in
Bloomington
we
have
constant
visitors
coming
through
and
the
numbers
visiting
the
museum,
the
route
66
visitors
center
are
growing.
A
lot
of
those
people
come
to
my
store
and
I,
see
them
as
well.
So
not
only
do
we
have
we're
becoming
a
local
destination
for
our
residents
for
the
outdoor
dining.
We
have
some
of
the
best
restaurants
at
all
Bloomington
Normal
community
right
in
downtown,
so
we're
becoming
a
restaurant
destination,
we're
becoming
a
nightlife
destination
and
where
there's
many
shopping
experiences
that
are
destinations
at
the
same
time.
J
At
the
same
time,
though,
as
we
want
to
preserve
the
historic
fabric
right,
a
lot
of
the
historic
buildings
were
lost
in
the
80s
when
we
had
entire
blocks
of
buildings
razed
and
I
think
everybody
would
agree
that
we
don't
want
to
see
that
happening
anymore.
We
don't
want
modern
architecture
kind
of
invading,
so
we
want
to
preserve
those
buildings.
So
when
you
ask
me
what
downtown
is
is
downtown
is
that
historic
destination?
J
We
have
property
owners
who
are
doing
their
best
to
restore
and
create
the
sods
that
that
maintained
that
historic
appearance
as
we
go
through
downtown
and
and
then
we've
got
all
the
other
factors
of
work
dine
and
play
or
live
die
and
play
down
there
as
well,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
go
into
downtown
and
it's
up
to
this
group
to
drive
forward
that
yes,
downtown
is
important.
The
task
force
job
was
to
distill
multiple
plans.
J
Like
Scott
said,
we
have
a
lot
of
plans
and
pick
out
what
are
the
things
that
were
most
important.
What
were
the
best
ideas
from
those
various
plans
and
bring
those
forward?
And
you
know
if
the
next
step
from
here
is
a
presentation
from
Melissa
on
this
stuff,
that
staff
has
already
gotten
done
and
then
what
they?
What
staff
thinks,
are
the
next
low
hanging
fruit?
That's
awesome.
J
D
You
know:
I
read
that
and
I
was
impressed
that
we
are
currently
moving
forward
with
the
whole
plan.
But
my
major
question
is
the
downtown
signage
and
the
wayfinding
materials
that
we
have
ordered.
We
spent
a
lot
of
time,
picking
that
out
or
the
committee
did,
and
it
was
very
expensive
now
now,
where
are
they?
Can
we
get
them?
Put
up?
I
mean
what's
the
holdup
with
that.
D
A
You
Thank
You,
councilmember,
pan
I,
think
what
we
certainly
have
is
consensus.
Mr.
Gleason,
do
you
think
you
have
what
you
need
for
the
next
step
and
maybe
perhaps
even
just
some
greater
clarity
in
terms
of
what
has
been
done?
Maybe
go
back
to
what
Melissa
had
sent
out
to
us.
What
do
you
think
Tim
that.
A
E
A
All
right
anything
else:
okay,
we'll
move
right
along
then
to
the
next
item,
and
this
is
discussion
and
direction
on
automatic
initiative
to
extend
the
waiver
of
late
fees
and
penalties
for
the
city,
food
and
beverage
taxes
requested
by
councilmember
mathy.
There's
again,
this
is
not
a
emotion
we
did
have
in
our
quick
5-minute
poll
of
10
people
support
to
go
forward
and
councilmember
manthie.
If
you
you've
got
about
five
minutes
and
then
see
what
kind
of
council
discussion
we
may
or
may
not
have
after
that,
sir.
J
I
won't
need
five
minutes,
so
I
put
this
on
there.
We
as
part
of
our
emergency
responses.
We
have
prorated
gambling
fees,
we
have
prorated
liquor
licenses
and
we
have
waived
late
fees
for
anybody
who
pays
they're
some
of
the
various
fees
and
taxes
that
we
received
the
city,
particularly
food
and
beverage,
taxes
from
restaurants
and
hotels.
We
have
currently
waived
those
late
fees
as
long
as
people
are
paid
up
and
current
within
30
days
of
Governor
pritzker.
J
Ending
the
emergency
declaration
and
my
proposal
was-
is
that
I
think
that
there
are
restaurants
and
hotels
that
are
going
to
need
longer
than
30
days
to
get
caught
up
and
be
current
and
I
wanted
to
waive
the
late
fees
on
those?
If
for
people,
if
it
took
longer
last
meeting,
we
talked
about
looking
at
what
the
impacts
would
be
if
we
agreed
to
waive
fees
only
late
fees
and
late
charges,
not
the
actual
taxes
themselves.
But
if
we
read
the
waive
those
late
fees
and
charges
for
90
days
or
for
six
months,
okay,.
L
Yeah,
the
only
thing
I
would
like
to
say
is
that
I
guess
it
should
be
fair
across
the
board,
all
the
different
groups
that
have
had
their
the
amendments
where
they
have
deferred
late
fees
should
be
included
not
just
restaurants
or
whatever.
It
should
be,
all
the
all
the
businesses
that
have
been
granted.
This.
L
J
A
M
Member
black,
thank
you
and,
and
thanks
Jamie
I,
think
we've
had
we've
done
this
a
couple
times
now
and
I
think
we
could
should
continue
it
as
long
as
the
pandemic
goes
on
Tim.
At
the
beginning,
you
mentioned
in
your
comments
around
administrative
court.
Reopening
yeah
and
I
hope
that,
as
we
start
going
through
that
process
that
we
can
be
as
lenient
with
those
folks
as
we
we
have
been
and
with
business
owners
in
terms
of
late
fees
and
such
you
may
not
have
heard
me
so
Tim
did
you
hear
anything
I
said.
A
F
All
right,
thank
you,
yeah.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
all
right,
so
I
am
in
support
of
it,
but
it
sounds
like
just
from
the
conversation
good.
We
might
be
expanding
the
number
of
visitors.
It
applies
to
right,
and
so
what
I'd
like
to
understand
just
kind
of
how
the
seeing
how
the
staff
put
together
some
sort
of
financial
impact
I
think
you'll
be
good
for
us.
You
also
had
that
if
he
were
to
expand
it
to
other
types
of
businesses-
and
it's
going
to
be
good
for
us
to
hire
a
financial
impact
of.
A
A
E
I
was
gonna
share,
is
the
city
currently
is
waiving
interest
fees
and
penalties
for
food
and
beverage,
food
and
beverage
tax
as
long
as
it
is
paid
within
30
days
after
the
governor's
emergency
declaration
ends,
the
ordinate
specifically
applies
to
food
and
beverage
tax
utilities,
parking
tickets
and
ordinance
violations
by
executive
orders.
This
was
extended
to
some
amusement
taxes
and
a
hotel,
motel
taxes.
So
that's
what
we've
currently
done
under
the
emergency
order
in
the
city
manager,
update,
I
took
part
of
finance
director
Scott
Rathbun's.
E
You
know
just
taking
a
stay
up
yet
at
this
council
initiative
and
actually
Scott
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you.
If
you've
got
a
few
comments
and
and
actually
don't
mind
if
you
share
what
the
staff,
what
the
staff
might
recommendation
might
be
for
establishing
a
period
beyond
phase
four,
once
we
get
there
sure.
N
Well,
first
of
all,
let
me
just
comment
on
this.
Having
the
data
available,
I
think
you
may
have
noticed
in
the
financial
impact
of
the
273
food
and
but
we
just
focused
on
food
and
beverage.
On
the
273
food
and
beverage
filers
from
January,
we
had
37
non
filers
for
April,
so
those
non
filers
could
fall
on
the
three
buffets
from
where
I'm
sitting
the
fire
could
have
ceased
doing
business.
N
So
due
to
the
non
filing
situation,
we
can't
really
extrapolate
what
effect
the
extension
might
have
at
this
point,
we're
looking
at
sending
out
a
notice
to
the
non
filers
clarifying
the
ordinance
and
that
penalties
will
be
suspended
if
filing
stays
intact
and
we're
going
to
give
them
a
certain
amount
of
time,
the
the
filers
to
bring
their
filings
current
and
then,
from
that
point
on.
You
know
we'll
have
better
visibility
on
what
an
extension
may
mean.
Now.
It
doesn't
really
help
us
right
now.
N
So
one
one
thing
that
we're
looking
at
or
discussing
is:
if
we
extend
a
time
frame
for
the
penalty,
suspension
and
adjusting
the
linkage
to
when
we
go
into
phase
four
so
potentially
doing
maybe
upping
it
from
30
days
to
90
days,
but
as
I
mentioned
in
linking
that
to
phase
4,
which
is
going
to
be
more
definitive
as
opposed
to
a
phase
5
which
could
go
on
indefinitely
and
delay
taxes.
You
know
way
out
into
calendar
year,
21
even
fiscal
year,
22.
A
E
N
Five
and
and
we'll
do
some
estimations
we'll
try
to
reach
out
to
some
of
the
ninth
non
filers
directly
and
get
some
more
indication
as
to
the
statistics
behind
the
data
behind
that
non-filing,
whether
or
not
it's
really
related
to
the
penalty
extension
or
if
it's
just
merely
the
impact
of
the
quarantine
on
on
business,
and
we
part
of
the
statistics
we
do
have
is
that
the
four
that
we
had
for
tax
payers
that
filed
and
did
not
pay?
That
was
four
thousand
dollars.
So
you
know
of
our
typical
$350,000
monthly.
N
We
had
181
in
April
and
revenue,
it's
not
a
real
material
number.
But
what
we
don't
know
is
you
know,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
what
percentage
of
the
non
filers
had
business
center
delaying
their
pimp
their
tax
payments,
because
it's
suspension
on
penalties
so
well
gather
some
more
information
on
that
and
then,
if
you
come
back
to
council,
I
think
with
two
or
three
options
related
to
that.

Thank
You,
mayor
and
council
I'll
make
this
real,
quick,
but
I'm
gonna
start
with
a
correction.
When
we
were
talking
about
the
first
council
initiative,
I
was
talking
about
a
staff
presentation
at
the
next
committee
of
the
whole.
It's
next
week
at
the
next
council
meeting,
we'll
do
a
staff
presentation,
and
while
this
truly
was
the
next
step
in
the
process,
I
appreciate
the
conversation
you
know.
I
came
into
this
job
July
of
18.
E
The
low-hanging
fruit,
low
cost,
no
call
cost,
and
that's
exactly
what
we
have
implemented
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
but
very
much
appreciate
this
as
a
next
step,
both
bulk
pickup
for
the
city,
we'll
start
on
Monday
July
6th.
That's
just
a
reminder
to
everyone.
Again.
We
push
that
back
a
couple
of
months
because
of
Cova
19
also
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
census
2020.
E
We
continue
to
stack
up
very
well
to
other
counties
throughout
the
state
of
Illinois,
and
we
still
have
time
to
complete
that
so
word
of
mouth
from
all
of
us
that
are
on
this
right
now
and
those
that
are
watching.
Definitely
it
definitely
helps
and
then
I
think
it
was
alderman.
Black
commented
that
the
farmers
market
was
the
first
time
that
it
was
back
open
to
the
public
with
a
social
distancing
component
was
very
successful
and
that's
way
that
it
would
be
going
forward.
So
with
that
mayor
council.
Thank
you.
Thank.
