Here
let
the
records
show
how
council
member
black
was
just
like
pushing
his
hair
back
kind
of
like
he
was
in
a
a
commercial
of
some
form
just
saying,
since
we
won't
have
him
indefinitely
around
to
harass.
We've
got
to
get
it
all
in
in
the
next
few
weeks,
but
at
this
point,
madam
clerk,
we
have
public
comment.
Do
we
have
anyone
on
the
line
or
anything
else
to
announce?
Madam
clerk.
E
We
actually
have
one
person
that
is
here
in
person
that
is
scott
steinling,
and
then
we
did
have
one
person,
john
reed,
who
registered
but
is
not
present
in
the
meeting,
and
two
people
sent
an
email
public
comment
and
that's
herb,
eaton
and
sorry
and
pamela
eaton,
so
scott
steinling
in
person
thanks.
G
C
This
coved
19
pandemic
has
been
going
on
too
long
for
half
a
year,
connect
transit,
they've,
limited
the
rise
to
essential
workers,
only
they
disconnected
fair
collection
and
with
states
that
keep
getting
pushed
back.
C
Yet
they
say
that
they're,
if
a
private
business
would
do
this,
they'd
be
out
of
business
and
heartbeat
terry,
and
you
know
what
there
I've
seen:
66
passenger
buses
of
connect
transit
with
one
rider,
but
I
forget
they
got
free
gaps,
don't
they
at
the
taxpayers,
expense,
nothing's,
free,
terry,
now,
they're
running
on
a
reduced
schedule,
in
addition
to
regarding
requiring
all
passengers
to
wear
a
mask
or
face
carving.
You
know,
terry,
that
the
virus
can
only
travel
six
feet.
C
I
guess
that
the
city
appears
to
have
spent
money
for
the
scoreboard
and
this
lousy
television
screen
that
you
figure
you
is
free
money
again,
terry.
I
wish
you'd
get
your
life
together.
C
When
is
the
city
going
to
wake
up
and
do
something
about
these
roads
and
about
the
cotton
picking
side?
Sidewalks
I've
seen
them
where
they
are
totally
absolutely
un.
I've
seen
someone
taking
their
granddaughter
in
a
wheelchair
and
they
have
to
lift
it
up
over
the
lousy
curb
so
that
they
can
get
it
to
have
the
to
push
their
granddaughter.
I've
seen
the
curbs
at
the
street
they're
level
with
the
grass.
C
You
know,
I
don't
know
what
the
heck
you
want.
Terry.
This
is
the
city
of
bloomington.
This
is
not
illinois
westland,
and
you
know
I
tell
you
this
council
is
absolutely
pathetic
and
I
I
tell
you
if
this
would
be
split
nine
ways.
I
bet
you
would
do
something
different
except
you
were
there
to
please
tim,
please.
C
Basically,
the
the
city
drop-off
facility,
I
see
you
leslie,
the
city
drop-off
facility,
is
there
to
serve
the
people
and
not
for
the
people
to
serve
them.
You
go
in
there
and
you
jump
about
fall
in
the
hole.
I
wish
all
you.
People
would
wake
up.
H
D
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
at
this
point.
We're
going
to
move
to
the
consent
agenda.
Can
you
hear
me,
madam
clerk,.
E
The
consent
agenda,
and
then
just
so
we're
clear.
The
city
manager
said
that
he
will
do
his
coven
19
update
under
his
comments.
D
Okay,
at
this
point,
could
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda
as
presented
unless
there
are
one
of
the
items
that
need
to
be
pulled
which
are
just
minutes
from
our
previous
meetings,
so
moved
moved
by
council
member
emig?
Is
there
a
second.
D
Second,
by
council
member
carrillo
for
a
discussion
on
this-
I
don't
see
any
so.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
role
council.
H
B
G
I
D
Motion
carries
thank
you
very
much.
The
minutes
then,
will
stand.
We
move
to
the
presentation
and
adoption
of
the
2018
editions
of
the
international
code.
Excuse
me:
code,
council,
building,
residential
swimming
pool,
mechanical
fire,
fuel
gas,
existing
building,
energy
conservation
and
property
maintenance
codes
and
the
2020
national
electric
code
is
requested
by
the
community
development
department.
We
have
a
brief
presentation
by
the
community
development
director,
mr
remark
and
chris
mcallister
and
then
a
brief
counsel
discussion.
D
A
Well,
quick
mayor
and
council,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
tonight
after
this
presentation
you
know,
given
the
input
from
council,
this
could
be
an
agenda
item
at
the
first
council
meeting
in
october.
This
is
something
that's
been
in
play
for
three
plus
years.
Quite
a
bit
of
community
outreach
has
occurred
and
we're
at
the
tail
end
of
this
long
process.
A
G
Good
evening,
council,
yes,
so
tonight
before
you,
we
have
the
update
to
the
building
code
for
presentation
and
discussion
and
we
look
to
bring
that
back.
As
tim
said
at
the
first
meeting
in
october,
there
is
definitely
a
need
to
modernize
the
building
code
for
the
city
and
we'll
be
accomplishing
this
by
updating
to
the
2018
international
code,
council,
family
of
codes
and
other
related
codes,
and
at
this
time
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
bob
martin.
Chris
mcallister
who've
really
done
all
the
heavy
lifting
with
this
project.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you,
melissa.
We
had
a
little
technical
difficulty
in
our
offices,
so
chris
is
actually
in
my
office.
We've
been
working
together
pretty
much
through
this
last
six
months,
so
I
feel
comfortable
here.
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor,
the
city
council
and
city
manager
gleason
for
allowing
us
to
make
this
presentation
this
evening.
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
the
work
of
kerry
steddon
he's
our
code
enforcement
division
manager
and
chris
mcallister.
Our
building
official
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
the
extra
work
that
was
put
in
by
the
building
board
of
appeals.
J
As
you're
aware,
the
building
board
of
appeals
is
an
advisory
board
to
the
city
council,
they're
responsible
for
chapter
10,
which
is
the
building
code
chapter
15,
which
is
the
electricity
code
and
chapter
4
34,
which
is
the
plumbing
code.
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
the
property
maintenance
review
board,
who
serves
as
the
liaison
for
city
council
on
chapter
45
of
the
property
maintenance
code
and
all
those
are
within
the
city
code.
J
We've
been
working
simultaneously
with
the
building
board
of
appeals
and
the
property
maintenance
review
board
over
the
last
year
to
bring
us
to
this
point
of
adoption
of
the
2018
icc
family
of
codes,
as
well
as
the
2020
national
electric
code.
The
city
of
bloomington
has
had
building
codes
as
far
back
as
1934.
J
They
were
more
local
codes,
but
back
in
the
in
the
mid
50s,
they
adopted
the
1955
national
building
code
in
1958,
and
that
was
our
first
step
into
adoption
of
model
building
codes
for
the
city
back
in
2003,
the
city
council
adopted
the
international
code
council
family
of
code.
So
that's
our
track
record
for
adopting
this
series
of
codes
and
the
most
recent
adoption
was
in
february
24
2014.
J
With
the
adoption
of
the
2012
version
of
codes.
You
may
be
aware
that
the
building
codes
are
adopted
are
published
once
every
three
years,
and
that
goes
for
the
international
code
council,
as
well
as
the
national
electric
code,
even
though
they're
they're
not
simultaneously
adopted.
So
that's
why
you're,
seeing
that
the
2018
version
of
the
publish
code
for
the
icc
and
the
2020
version
of
the
national
electric
code
for
the
national
fire
protection
institute,
I'd
like
to
kind
of
go
through.
J
I
have
some
slides
that
phil
could
put
put
one
the
first
one
up
and
kind
of
briefly
go
over.
What
the
our
proposed
adoption
of
the
model
building
code
would
include.
So
the
first
code
that
we're
suggesting
we
adopt
is
the
2018
international
building
code.
This
code
is
essentially
commercial
and
industrial
construction
for
both
new
and
remodeling.
J
It
also
includes
multi-family
dwellings,
greater
than
three
dwelling
units.
The
2018
international
residential
code
is
related
to
the
one
and
two
family
dwellings,
the
2018
international
swimming
pool
and
spa
code.
This
is
something
new
for
the
city
council
to
consider.
J
The
current
swimming
pool
regulations
are
within
the
various
chapters,
and
so
an
inspector
would
have
to
go
between
multiple
building
codes.
To
get
the
the
right
answer.
We
are
recommending
that
we
adopt
the
new
international
swimming
pool
code,
which
is
essentially
for
public
pools
and
spas,
and
that's
something
that
that
we
think
is
is
necessary
to
bring
us
up
to
the
current
standards.
We're
also
recommending
the
2018
international
mechanical
code.
J
The
2018
international
fire
code,
which
is
fire
prevention
regulations
and
the
2018
international
building
code,
which
is
essentially
establishes
a
threshold
threshold
for
what
kind
of
the
most
recent
2018
code
would
apply
to
an
existing
structure
when
you're
doing
modifications
to
an
existing
building.
We're
also
recommending
the
adoption
of
the
international
energy
conservation
code.
J
The
when
we
had
our
initial
meetings
with
the
property
maintenance
review
board
and
the
building
board
of
appeals,
they
were
adamant
that
we
that
we
have
a
a
robust
outreach
effort
in
years
past.
We,
the
community,
may
not
have
been
as
actively
involved
with
our
development
community
and
that's
something
that
they
really
push
for
and
that's
something
that
we
move
forward
with.
So
if
phil,
could
you
advance
that
one
slide
for
the
outreach
efforts?
J
So
we
had?
We
had
worked
very
closely
with
the
property
maintenance
review
board
and
the
building
board
of
appeals.
We
had
several
workshop
meetings
with
with
the
board
with
both
boards.
We
also
before
covid.
We
were
able
to
meet
with
the
local
chapter
of
the
american
institute
of
architects
to
make
a
presentation
before
their
before
their
membership
and
start
the
process
of
getting
them
understanding
where
we
were
moving
forward
with.
J
We
also
had
an
opportunity
to
make
a
pre
a
virtual
presentation
at
the
bloomington,
normal
association
of
realtors,
and
that
was
in
probably
mid
march.
We
also
attempted
to
work
with
the
bloomington
normal
association
of
builders,
our
home
builder
association.
J
Although
we
were
not
able
to
make
a
presentation,
we
actively
sent
notices
to
that
their
membership
and
to
their
their
executive
board
on
getting
those
questions
out
and
letting
them
see
our
website
that
identified
all
the
significant
changes
to
the
codes
from
the
2012
through
the
2015
and
the
2018
codes.
J
We
also
reached
out
to
the
chamber,
and
one
additional
step
that
was
requested
by
the
building
board
of
appeals
and
the
property
maintenance
review
board,
is
that
we
sent
a
notice
to
over
1200
registered
contractors
and
plumbers
within
the
city,
and
we
sent
out
roughly
1250
notices
to
our
registered
landlords
in
the
city.
So
we
really
tried
to
get
the
word
out
of
of
our
proposed
changes
to
the
code.
J
You
may
be
aware
that
we
have
previously
adopted
from
the
2003
through
the
not
2009
the
2012.
We
did
not
for
some
reason,
adopt
the
2015
family
of
codes.
I
I
looking
back
at
notes.
I
really
can't
find
out
why
we
didn't
move
forward,
but
this
was
a
busy
time
for
the
community
development
department.
In
that
we
were
working
through
the
comprehensive
plan,
as
well
as
the
zoning
ordinance
at
that
time.
So
I
think
that,
probably
and
and
we
were
going
through
a
transition
in
leadership
as
well.
J
So
I
think
that
we
missed
that
that
round
of
publication-
and
it
made
it
our
job
a
little
bit
more
difficult
to
show
the
transition
and
the
changes
or
amendments
from
the
2012
code
through
the
2015
and
the
2018.
But
we
were
able
to
work
with
the
building
board
of
appeals
and
the
property
maintenance
review
board
to
to
evaluate
those
changes
to
the
code.
J
and
that
establishes
the
list
of
of
previously
adopted
changes
to
the
code
staff
is
now
recommending,
and
so
is
the
building
board
of
appeals
and
the
and
the
property
maintenance
review
board
to
move
forward
with
a
new
additional
modifications
to
the
to
chapter
10,
chapter
15,
chapter
34
and
chapter
45
and
those
those
are
outlined
and
will
be
part
of
the
ordinance
adopting
them.
The
majority
of
those
changes
are
administrative
in
nature
and
do
not
impact
the
development
community
or
staff
in
in
any
significant
way.
J
However,
there
are
a
number
of
code
changes
that
we
would
like
to
go
through
and
phil.
Could
you
go
back
to
the
the
first
slide?
Please
and
I
kind
of
like
to
walk
through
the
overview
of
the
changes
that
we're
proposing
so
under
the
international
building
code,
we're
not
proposing
anything
but
minor
administrative
changes
in
the
international
residential
code.
J
We've
we've
looked
at
adopting
a
new
appendix
under
tiny
homes,
and
essentially
what
this
this
new
appendix
would
do
is
allow
for
some
relief
in
residential
stair
systems,
loft
systems
in
houses,
smaller
than
400
square
feet,
and
also
emergency
egress
issues
as
well.
So
that's
something
new
to
the
community
and
I
guess
what
we
we
should
probably
say
is
that
currently
the
the
city
of
bloomington
does
not
have
a
minimum
dwelling
unit
size
in
our
residential
districts,
and
so
allowing
this.
J
This
new
appendix
for
tiny
homes,
could
spur
some
residential
development
and
maybe
deal
with
some
of
our
affordable
housing
issues
and
redevelopment
in
some
of
our
smaller
lot.
Neighborhoods,
it's
not
something
that
would
necessarily
come
into
play
on
a
neighborhood
that
would
have
restrictive
covenants,
but
that's
something
that
staff
is,
would
encourage
the
city
council
to
consider
on
on
that
adopting
that
appendix
to
the
international
residential
code.
J
One
other
thing
in
the
international
residential
code.
In
the
2012
code,
there
was
a
requirement
in
in
a
section
regarding
the
residential
sprinkler
systems
and
one
and
two
family
dwellings.
We
worked
closely
with
the
bloomington-normal
association
of
realtors
and
again
sought
their
support
in
how
we
should
move
forward.
We
believe
that
we
should
maintain
the
status
quo
on
requiring
a
mandatory
offer
form.
J
Essentially
what
a
builder
will
do,
he'll
he'll
sign
and
submit
a
form,
that's
also
acknowledged
by
the
the
purchaser
and
then
that
that
form
is
submitted
along
with
the
building
permit
application.
This
system
has
been
working
pretty
well
for
the
city,
we've
actively
monitored
it
in
our
office.
J
What
it
essentially
says
this
form
is
that,
although,
although
residential
sprinklers
are
not
required,
the
property
owner
or
the
buyer
can
add,
as
for
that
additional
service
to
be
provided
at
an
additional
cost
and
that
I
don't
believe
that
we
have
representatives
this
evening
from
the
bloomington-normal
association
of
realtors,
but
they
did
speak
to
this
item
at
our
public
hearings
on
september
1st.
J
The
other
codes
we
we
want
to
have
you
consider
is
that
again
the
adoption
of
the
international
mechanical
code,
the
international
fuel
gas
code
and
the
the
next
one
is
the
international
fire
code,
and
I
would
like
to
come
back
to
that
one.
The
existing
building
code,
minor
modifications,
the
same
with
the
international
energy
conservation
code
and
the
international
property
maintenance
code.
So
phil,
could
you
provide
the
slide
for
the
international
fire
code.
J
So
there
is
a
new
provision
in
the
international
fire
code
related
to
requiring
the
retroactive
installation
of
automatic
sprinkler
systems
in
group
a2
occupancy,
so
group
a2
occupancies,
are
restaurants,
taverns,
fraternal
organizations,
and
this
specific
code,
section
section
1103
5.1
specifically
identifies
basically
entertainment,
oriented
businesses
whereby,
if
you
have
an
occupancy
load
of
more
than
300
persons
and
you
serve
alcohol,
you
are
required
to
retroactively
install
fire
sprinkler
systems.
J
When
we
had
discussions
with
the
building
board
of
appeals,
they
had
very
thoughtful
deliberation
on
this
item,
but
as
far
as
staff
is
concerned,
it's
like
flipping
a
switch
yesterday.
You
didn't
have
to
meet
this
code
today.
You
you
do
have
to
meet
this
code.
If
this
portion
is
adopted,
so
we
laid
out
three
separate
alternative
actions
for
recommendation
through
the
building
board
of
appeals
to
the
city
council
and
the
first
one
is
adopting
it.
J
This
section
in
its
entirety
and
I'll
read
this
section
where
alcoholic
beverages
are
consumed
in
a
group,
a2
occupancy
having
an
occupant
load
of
300
or
more,
the
fire
area
containing
the
group.
A2
occupancy
shall
be
equipped
with
an
automatic
sprinkler
system
in
accordance
with
with
the
section
903.3.11
that
basically
says
you
know,
submit
your
submit
your
automatic
splinker
plans
pull
your
permits
and
and
install
this
upon
adoption
of
this
new
code.
J
We
also
looked
at
an
alternative
that
would
say
how
about
we
amortize
this,
that
we
that
we
kick
the
can
down
the
road
and
we're
looking
at
roughly
a
three-year
time
frame
for
compliance,
and
so
we
added
the
the
this
amortization
schedule
to
the
alt.
The
second
alternative,
which
was
to
automatic
sprinkler
system,
shall
be
installed
by
january
1
of
20
2024.
J
The
third
option
was
to
delete
this
section
in
its
entirety,
and
that
is
the
recommendation
that
both
staff
proposed
and
that
the
building
board
of
appeals
landed
on
now
again,
they
were
concerned
about
deviating
from
an
established
code,
but
they
felt
that
this
was
not
the
right
time
for
the
community
to
absorb
this.
A
retroactive
sprinkler
system
requirement.
J
In
addition,
the
majority
of
these
these
entertainment
oriented
businesses
are
in
their
downtown
area,
which
are
fire
response
times
are
a
little
bit
quicker
so
that
that
helped
a
lot
take
away.
Some
of
the
concerns-
and
the
other
thing
is
that
we
they
were
specific
in
that
they
wanted
us
to
reach
out
to
those
13
or
so
businesses
that
would
be
impact
or
could
be
impacted
by
the
the
adoption
of
this
specific
section
of
the
international
fire
code,
we
did
send
out
notice
to
those
13
businesses
on.
J
I
believe
that
was
september.
Third,
it
was
immediately
after
our
special
meetings,
public
hearing
and
so
far,
we've
heard
from
the
vfw
and
we've
heard
from
the
ozark
restaurant
staff.
Has,
I
don't
know
if
council
has
any
other
outreach
from
those
folks
right
now?
I
think
that
staff
is
comfortable
with
with
this
standard.
I
think
what
some
of
the
discussion
we
had
at
the
building
board
of
appeals
was.
J
2020
national
electric
code-
and
it
mostly
has
to
do
with
residential
dwellings,
so
the
basically,
whenever
you
install
a
new
service
on
a
house
or
you
retroactively,
come
back
in
and
do
your
service
there's
requirements
for
automatic
shutoffs,
exterior
shut-offs
for
the
for
the
service.
That's
something
new
for
our
national
electric
code,
there's
also
a
requirement
for
whole
house
surge
protection.
So
right
now
you
might
be
familiar
as
a
homeowner
to
have
surge
protection
for
each
appliance
or
each
electrical
appliance
and
the
other
one
is
see.
J
I'm
gonna
turn
to
chris
and
some
additional
surge
protections
for
nurse
service,
new
services
that
we
discussed
and
a
gfci
for
sump
pumps
and
dishwashers.
So
there's
some
changes
there,
but
I'll
be
honest.
I
we
have.
This
department
has
never
deviated
from
adoption
of
the
of
the
current
electrical
code.
J
So
that's
something
that
we
would
like
to
adopt
in
its
entirety,
but
we
did.
We
did
make
the
building
board
of
appeals
aware
of
this,
this
new
provision
in
the
national
electorate
code-
and
there
was
limited
discussion
on
on
this.
We
also
presented
that
during
our
outreach
to
the
bloomington-normal.
J
Association
of
realtors-
and
we
didn't
hear
much
back
from
that
as
well-
it
I
think
it's
just
the
change
of
technology
and
how
and
how
the
service
services
are
dealt
with
within
the
dwelling.
J
So
with
that
just
a
quick
overview
of
of
the
the
building
code
adoption
some
of
our
background,
some
of
our
back
history
and
then
we
would
like
to
have
maybe
some
continued
discussion
on
this
particular
section
within
international
fire
code.
J
My
concern
is
that
it's
time
for
this
community
to
adopt
the
most
recent
published
icc,
family
of
codes
and
the
2020
national
electric
code
and
I'd
hate
to
have
those
efforts
of
both
staff
and
our
boards
and
commissions
kind
of
jeopardized
by
one
section
of
the
code
that
that
we
have
made
everyone
aware
of
so
with
that
I'll
I'll,
take
a
step
back
chris
mcallister
is
in,
is
in
my
office
and
we'll
be
happy
to
switch
seats
and
and
answer
some
questions
as
they
come
from
council.
Thank
you.
D
Okay,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
mark.
At
this
point,
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
start
the
council
discussion.
That's
up
to
about
15
minutes,
I'm
trying
to
okay.
Here
we
go
sorry.
D
H
Thanks
mayor
bob
just
a
couple
of
clarification
questions
you
were
talking
about
the
sprinklers
for
the
one
and
two
bedroom
dwelling
units,
and
you
said
that
you
guys
reached
out
and
talked
to
the
association
of
realtors.
What
was
the
fire
department's
input
on
that
conversation
as
well.
J
We
had
had
a
discussion
with
chief
moore
and
he
was
con.
He
knew
that
this
wasn't
a
political
fight
that
we
should
deal
with
right
now.
H
So
I'm
just
curious
just
a
spitballing
idea.
It
sounds
right
now,
like
you
it,
the
form
is
almost
an
opt-in
form.
H
J
That's
not
the
way
our
program
is
right
now
or
our
processes
right
now
the
form
is
within
our
municipal
code
as
an
amendment
to
that
article
for
adoption
of
the
international
residential
code,
it's
it's
pretty
straightforward,
I
and,
and
we
have
been
consistently
accepting
those
as
part
of
our
building
permit
issuance
in
just
looking
at
the
trends
of
of
the
community
right
now
over
the
last
couple
of
years
we
haven't
had,
but
you
know
one
or
two:
maybe
up
to
five
residential
dwelling
is
one
and
two
family
dwellings,
we're
going
gangbusters
now
we're
probably
up
to
40
40
a
year
so
where
the
trends
are
changing.
J
I
I
think
that
that
form
works
good.
I
think
the
builders
are
aware
of
it.
I
think
those
conscientious
homeowners
or
home
purchasers
also
look
at
that
and
whether
or
not
they
need
that
extra
protection
of
an
automatic
sprinkler
system.
But
the
majority
of
the
forms
that
come
in
actually
do
not
include
residential
sprinkler
systems
and
I'm
turning
to
chris,
and
he
was
he's
shaking
his
head
that
they're
the
trend
is
not
for
them
to
install
the
automatic
sprinkler
system.
H
Okay,
changing
topics
then
to
the
electrical
code.
You
were
talking
about
the
the
changes
to
the
electrical
code.
There.
The
proportion
at
the
end
was
only
if
somebody
was
upgrading
service
on
an
existing
building,
then
they
would
have
to
have
the
whole
house
surge
protector
put
in.
It
would.
J
It
would
be
for
new
services
and
for
upgrades
of
existing
service
panels.
I
can,
I
can
leave
you
with
chris
for
a
second.
You
want
to
take
this
one
and.
G
K
Yes,
the
search
production
is
actually,
I
think
it
became
actually
a
part
of
the
2017
code.
We've
actually
again
jumped
a
series
of
codes
by
not
adopting
them
in
this
last
go-around,
but
all
surge
protection
is
is
something
that
would
apply
to
both
new
construction
and
upgraded
services.
H
Okay,
yeah,
I'm
actually
happy
to
see
that
in
there,
because
you
know
most
people
know
to
protect
their
computer
with
a
surge
protector
or
their
tv
or
stuff
like
that.
But
it's
actually
a
lot
more
expensive
to
have
your
refrigerator
blown
up
than
it
is
other
things,
and
you
know
anybody
who
doesn't
know
what
a
whole
house
surge
protector
is.
H
It
literally
gets
installed
in
the
electrical
panel
of
your
house,
and
I
had
one
put
in,
and
I
think
it
was
250
bucks
installed
by
an
electrician
so
and
with
the
number
of
lightning
strikes
that
we
have
in
this
area
that
can
travel
a
half
mile
down
the
road
across
power
lines,
especially
in
the
older
parts
of
town.
Where
we
have
you
know
poles
instead
of
buried
electrical
services,
highly
recommend
those.
So
I'm
actually
happy
to
see
that
in
there
so
yeah.
I
fully
support
that
part
of
it.
I
Yeah,
thank
you
bob
and
chris
for
all
the
work
on
this,
and
and
thank
you
jamie.
I
think
I'm
gonna
call
an
electrician
tomorrow
to
get
get
one
installed
in
my
house.
So
what
I
wanted
to
focus
on
is
the
international
energy
conservation
code.
I
You
know
what
I
understand
and
reading
and
looking
this
up,
that
the
2018
code
doesn't
differ
much
from
the
2012
code
with
regard
to
energy
efficiency
efficiency,
but
I
do
know
that
they're
they
are
looking
to
finalize
or
have
finalized
the
2021
code,
which
is
supposed
to
increase
efficiency
by
up
to
10
percent
over
the
2018
standards
and
also
have
a
zero
code
for
developers,
a
commercial
institutional
type
of
buildings
where,
where
all
the
energy
has
to
come
from
renewable
sources,
so
I
guess
my
questions
on
that
bob
would
be
you
know
with
the
adoption
of
the
2018
energy
efficiency
code
is
a
really
much
increase
in
efficiency
for
new
construction.
J
This
might
have
to
be
piggyback
with
with
with
chris,
but
there
are
minimum
insulation
values
related
to
one
and
two
family
dwellings,
as
well
as
commercial
structures.
J
Yeah,
I
would
say
chris
is
telling
me
that
it's
a
progressive
increase
in
in
the
standards
or
the
code.
I
I'm
comfortable
with
adoption
of
the
2018
code.
We
haven't
even
seen
the
2021
code.
It's
typical,
it's
typical
or
generally
a
community
will
adopt
the
most
recent
code
and
give
a
little
lag
time,
maybe
one
or
two
years
to
find
out
what
those
changes
are
to
the
code
and
not
be
the
guinea
pig
of
adoption.
So.
K
K
The
energy
codes
yeah
sorry
to
interrupt
there.
The
the
energy
codes
are,
is
somewhat
unique
in
illinois.
Basically,
what
it
comes
down
to
is
the
state
of
illinois
has
adopted
the
20
2018
illinois
energy
conservation
code,
which
is
mostly
a
slight
modification
of
the
2018
international
energy
conservation
code.
K
I
So
so
chris
you're
saying
that
we
that
illinois,
the
state
would
not
allow
us
to
adopt
a
more.
I
guess
the
2021
code
until
the
state
adopts
is
that
what
you're
saying
it.
K
May
allow
us
to
adopt
the
2021..
They
also
have
a
deliverable
distinction
between
residences
and
commercial
construction.
I
believe
that
in
commercial
construction
they
will
allow
you
to
adopt
a
stricter
standard,
but
I
believe
in
residential
they
will
not
allow
you
to
enforce
anything.
That's
either
less
or
more
restrictive.
D
I'm
gonna
move
to
council
member
emig
and
then,
after
that
we
I
may
need
an
extension
on
discussion
time
because
we're
almost
out
of
time,
council
member
emic.
B
B
K
The
international
code
council
basically
publishes
a
new
cycle
every
three
years:
okay,
as
bob
kind
of
mentioned,
there's
often
a
little
bit
of
a
lag
when
municipalities
actually
adopt
those
codes,
so
they
can
kind
of
get
the
kinks
worked
out
as
he
mentioned.
K
I
think
that
we
weren't
trying
to
make
too
many
modifications
to
the
code.
I
think
that
perhaps
what
you
were
referring
to
and
bob's
comments
were
the
modification
to
the
fire
code,
and
our
feeling
was
that
in
2021
it
might
be
a
better
time
to
to
look
at
the
retroactive
requirements
for
those
a2
occupancies.
D
L
Yeah,
I'm
here
I
guess
one
of
the
questions
just
for
clarity
is
there
is.
Are
things
grandfathered?
I
know
that
when
you
have
to
remodel
something,
you
usually
have
to
bring
it
up
to
the
new
code,
but
if
it's
not
remodeled
do
are
you
allowed
to
grandfather
what
you
have
yeah
chris.
G
K
Bit
of
a
complicated
technical
question,
I
would
say,
for
the
most
part,
buildings
need
to
comply
with
the
standard
to
which
they
were
built
to
at
the
time.
K
With
that
being
said,
the
the
international
fire
code,
in
particular
as
the
fire
prevention
code,
has
some
minimum
standards
that
apply
to
two
existing
buildings.
Those
standards
are
fairly
limited,
but
they
are
retroactive,
as
you
mentioned,
any
any
new
construction
or
any
remodeling
of
existing
construction
does
need
to
comply
with
the
new
either
the
building
code
or
existing
building
code.
L
K
M
Yes,
thank
you.
Do
you
want
me
to
make
a
motion
to
extend.
M
Okay,
so
I
gotta
just
two
quick
constituent
questions
in
regards
to
code,
so
were
required.
Carbon
monoxide
detectors
and
gender
neutral
bathrooms
considered
as
part
of
this
set
of
code
amendments.
F
M
J
K
I
think
it
would
depend
is
that
a
retroactive
enforcement
question
or
for
new
facilities
or
new
residences.
M
G
M
Had
a
lot
of
about
carbon
monoxide
detector
requirements
and
why
those
aren't
required
as
part
of.
K
M
Okay,
gotcha
yeah,
so
the
other
question
is
were
gender-neutral,
bathrooms
covered
or
discussed
as
part
of
this
set
of
code
amendments.
J
K
Address
the
the
general
the
gender
neutral
aspect
of
of
it,
it
basically
determines
the
number
of
plumbing
fixtures
and
how
they
need
to
be
installed,
and
things
like
that.
As
a
part
of
this
again,
it's
another
state
code.
It's
the
illinois
accessibility
code,
which
really
kind
of
governs
the
requirements.
K
A
F
Yes,
there
was
a
actually
a
law
that
was
passed
last
year.
I
don't
remember
if
it
was
just
for
places
that
are
open
to
the
public
that
does
require
general
gender
neutral
bathrooms.
We'd
have
to
look
at
the
ability
to
do
that
for
private
businesses.
G
M
Yeah,
that
would
just
be
some.
Those
are
just
topics
that
that
I
got
reached
out
to
around
and
would
be
interested
in
whether
those
discussions
were
had
and
and
where
we
landed
on
those.
I
guess
my
last
question
is
in
terms
of
inspectors,
as
as
we,
I
guess,
get
ready
to
start
another
budget
planning
process
wanna
talk
about
as
we
are
making
these
updates
to
the
code.
What
what
is
our
staff
capacity
for
actually
being
able
to
enforce
these
code
changes?
M
K
So
do
we
as
a
part
of
of
their
certifications,
the
inspectors
themselves
kind
of
go
through
it
through
an
ongoing
continuing
education,
continuing
education
requirements
so
for
their
credentials
they
need
to
get
continuing
education
and
often
as
a
part
of
that
process.
K
Learning
about
the
the
nuances
of
the
new
codes
is
part
of
that.
We
do
have
a
a
number
of
books
and
things
that
we've
acquired
as
a
portion
as
a
process
here
to
understand
the
changes
of
the
codes
ourselves,
which
would
be
obviously
available
to
them.
But
I
would
I
would
certainly
encourage
additional
educational
opportunities.
J
I
can
answer
those
we
have.
We
have
two
residential
property
inspectors.
Is
that
what
you're
referring
to
for
the
property,
maintenance
or
the
rental
property
program.
M
J
Well,
we
have
roughly
12
000
rental
dwelling
units
within
the
community
over
3
000,
separate
properties.
Our
cycle
is
that
we're
getting
through
them
roughly
in
a
three-year
program
or
system
with
those
two
inspectors
and
they
pull
from
a
an
inspection
pool
that
cycles
over
that
three-year
period.
So
it
once
every
three
years.
J
J
An
inspection-
and
we
do
that
often,
if
there's
you,
know
an
increase
in
in
complaints
that
are
received,
so
it
doesn't
mean
that
they're
they're
steadfast
in
that
cycle.
If
we
here,
if
we
hear
complaints,
then
we're
going
to
go
in
and
schedule
that
residential
inspection.
D
Jenna,
I'm
going
to
take
you
up
on
your
offer
because
we're
overtime
we
have
an
offer
to
send
it
by
five
minutes.
Please.
D
Jamie's
jamie's,
okay,
jamie
second,
okay,
madam
clark,
would
you
call
the
roll
to
extend
this
by
five
minutes.
H
E
H
E
D
Okay,
we
we
got
a
new
lease
on
life
here,
although
we've
pretty
much
come
close
to
using
up
that
time
already,
but
council
member
bray.
N
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
and
I'd
like
to
focus
this
back
on
the
presentation
of
this
evening.
In
regards
to
the
building
code
updates,
and
in
particular
I
state
that
I'm
supportive
of
these
updates
and
and
I
appreciate
these
recommendations.
N
However,
I
do
have
a
couple
questions
in
relation
to
the
2018
ifc
and
the
section
in
regards
to
the
fire
sprinklers
to
this
group.
A2
occupancies,
where
the
alcoholic
beverages
are
consumed
and
the
occupant
load
is
300
or
more
we've
heard
here
this
evening
that
there's
been
some,
I
guess
discussion
among
some
in
the
community
about
removing
that
requirement.
N
So
I
just
would
like
some
clarity
have
we
heard?
Do
we
know
what
the
position
of
fire
protective
services
are
in
regards
to
deleting
this
requirement
for
sprinkler
sprinkler
systems
for
buildings
that
have
these
kinds
of
gatherings.
J
Yeah
we
did,
we
did
discuss
this
matter
with
the
fire
chief
and
the
fire
department,
they're
aware
of
this
and
and
they're
supportive
of
this
present
deletion
based
on
our
our
current
times.
J
J
That
was
also
our
fire
response
times
to
the
to
those
downtown
entertainment,
oriented
businesses
and
some
of
the
prior
work
that
I'll
explain
it.
This
way
under
the
old
codes,
each
individual
business
did
their
did.
What
was
required
of
them
to
meet
the
current
codes
and
whether
that's
means
of
egress
fire
protection
between
each
element
of
the
building,
essentially
the
the
was
it
the
current
code
or
the
old
code.
J
The
the
current
code
required
fire
separation
for
for
square
footages,
greater
than
5
000
square
feet,
and
and
many
of
these
businesses
were
able
to
separate
their
individual
businesses
into
into
that
meeting
those
threshold
requirements.
So
I
I
believe
that
we're
comfortable
with
the
with
present
code,
but
chris
may
have
some
additional
comments
on
that.
J
But
yeah.
I
don't
know
if
I'm
answering
your
question
on
that,
but
we
did.
We
did
reach
out
to
the
fire
department
and
they
were
comfortable
with
deleting
that
section
in
at
this
time.
N
Well,
I
guess
I'd
like
more
detail
on
that
piece
because
I'd
like
to
understand
what
it
means
that
they're
comfortable,
because
I
I'd
like
to
hear
from
our
fire
membership
our
our
union
to
understand
how
they
feel
about
this,
because
I,
when
we
talk
about
a
venue
that
holds
more
than
300
people
and
a
fire
occurring
there,
where
life
and
limb
of
not
only
the
occupants.
But
now
our
our
fire
services
may
come
into
issue.
N
I
really
like
us
to
have
some
more
conversation
about
that
piece
and
just
focus
in
on
if
there
are
13
focus
in
on
those
buildings
affected.
N
So
I
think
I
heard
you
say
there
are
13
businesses,
so
I
I'd
like
to
understand
more
about
how
it's,
okay
and
how
it'll
be
safe
for
people
to
attend
things
in
these
areas
and
how
it
will
be
safe
for
our
fire
services
that
have
to
respond,
because
I
know
there
was
a
discussion
or
you
set
out
here
three
different
options
to
adopt
to
the
code,
including
that
requirement
or
second
option
you
may
mention.
N
I
was
to
talk
about
a
2024
adoption,
in
other
words,
some
time
to
to
incorporate
these
changes
or
to
delete
it
entirely,
and
what
you've
spoken
here
tonight
is
about
deleting
entirety,
I'd
like
to
explore
option
number
two
more
for
2024
and
or
have
some
better
understanding
about
what
it
means
for
these
13
businesses
and
these
for
13
venues.
N
If,
if
we
don't
go
forward
with
this
kind
of
requirement,
that
is
part
of
the
international
fire
code.
N
I
I
my
last
thought
is
this:
you
know
it's
very
horrific
when
we
hear
of
communities
that
are
affected
by
fires
in
these
kinds
of
venues
and
the
loss
of
life
and
is
is
tragic,
and
I
would
never
want
bloomington
to
be
one
of
those
places,
and
so
I
I
just
like
to
have-
and
I
know
when
no
one
would
I
understand
that,
but
I
just
like
to
have
some
more
clarity
around
what
we
are
going
to
do
with
these
13
venues,
if
we're
not
going
to
have
the
sprinkler
system
requirement.
D
O
Quick
yeah
great
conversation,
I'll
just
add
that
you
know
we
talk
about
these
types
of
changes.
The
robust
public
comment
process
is
going
to
be
key,
so
I
know
this
is
probably
going
to
get
a
new
cycle.
I
know
that
went
through
property
maintenance
review
board,
but
hearing
from
the
folks
that
kim
talked
about
jen
talked
about
weighing
in
on
these
changes
before
making
a
final
decision,
I
think
is
going
to
be
critical
for
everyone
to
feel
like
they
were
part
of
the
process.
D
D
Second,
ten
minutes:
okay,
okay,
council
member
matthew,
second
by
council
member
carrillo,
madam
clerk,
would
you
call
the
role.
D
P
H
And
I
just
wanted
to
comment.
I
think
that
kim's
comments
are
spot
on,
that.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
we
possibly
can
to
protect
folks
as
well.
I
don't
know
if
everybody
got
a
chance
to
read
the
email
that
came
in
as
part
of
public
comment
from
the
vfw
earlier
today,
but
just
just
to
put
it
out
there
that
they
said
they
got
estimates
based
on
our
september
3rd
notice
to
them
about
this
conversation
that
it
was
going
to
cost
150
000
to
retrofit
their
building.
H
So
I
I
think
it's
part
of
this
conversation.
We
just
also
need
to
acknowledge
that,
even
if
we
give
a
three-year
time
frame
of
like
let's
say
a
20-24
time
frame
to
do
this,
the
the
cost
of
putting
in
a
sprinkler
fitting
and
retrofitting
it
into
a
building
is
exorbitant,
and
it
very
well
could
put
some
of
these
business
out
of
business
or
make
some
of
these
locations
no
longer
be
functional.
H
For
what
they've
been
so
places
that
I
you
know
I'd
be
concerned
about
be
the
vfw
or
knights
of
columbus
or
or
those
type
of
organizations
where
they're
essentially
fraternal
organizations
that
are
run
by
non-profits.
So
we
just
also
need
to
keep
that
in
mind
and
just
be
careful
before
making
sweeping
generalizations.
So,
let's
just
be
ign,
be
aware:
there's
two
sides
to
every
conversation.
D
N
Yeah-
and
I
guess
part
of
that
conversation-
I
mean
it's
a
great
point.
I
mean
when
what
we
want
robust
activities
and
and
robust
interactions
we
we're
not
trying
to
close
anybody
down.
For
sure
I
mean,
maybe
we,
if
someone
isn't
going
to
install
these,
then
perhaps
they
have
an
attendance
of
299
instead
of
300
in
an
event.
But
beyond
that,
I
wonder
as
part
of
our
look
at
this.
Are
there
grants
available
for
those
kinds
of
entities,
especially
you
think
of
a
vfw
or
other
kinds
of
charity
organizations?
N
J
We
can
explore
that
in
the
future.
I
will
say
this
that
the
numbers
for
the
vfw
seem
kind
of
high.
Our
research
is
showing
between
five
and
seven
dollars,
a
square
foot
for
retroactive
installation.
So
if
you're
talking
about
a
five
thousand
square
foot,
building
you're
talking
in
that
I'd,
say
25
to
35
range,
so
we
can.
We
can
work
on
that
and
older
person.
Bray
also
made
mention
of
the
I
lost
my
chain
of
thought,
but
the
the
ability
to.
I
J
On
the
grants,
I'm
not
familiar
with
specific
grants
on
on
that
on
these
types
of
things:
oftentimes.
It
would
be
maybe
the
city
or
incentivizing
these
types
of
things,
but
that's
something
that
we
could
continue
to
discuss.
D
Thank
you,
and
now
you
have
a
retar
or
a
rebound.
M
Yeah
as
we're
talking
about
the
sprinkler
system,
I
think
that's
the
case
for
the
the
come
together
space
on
roosevelt
over
in
my
ward,
but
I
think
it
was
a
similar
situation
where
they
were
holding
cultural
events
and
shows
and
using
it
as
a
venue.
M
But
then
you
know
couldn't
afford
to
install
the
sprinkler
system,
which
is
thousands
and
thousands
of
dollars
and
then
now
that
community
space
no
longer
exists
for
people
and
so
totally
agree
with
council
member
bray
that
that
you
know
we
should
be
looking
out
for
for
folks
safety
but
yeah.
I
also
agree
with
jamie
that
sometimes
these
things
have
unintended
consequences,
particularly
when
folks
are
not
able
to
afford
to
to
make
the
the
changes
that
are
now
dictated
by
code.
M
I
don't
think
it's
that
anybody
doesn't
want
to
make
those
changes,
but
I
think
affordability
is
an
issue,
so
whatever
we
can
do
to
look
into
grants
and
and
financials
supports
to
help
folks
make
those
transitions,
I
think
would
be
important
for
us
to
prioritize.
D
Great,
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you,
mr
mark,
and
all
your
staff
for
all
the
work
you've
been
doing.
We
appreciate
all
your
help
at
this
point.
We're
gonna
move
on
to
the
item
b,
and
this
is
discussion
regarding
a
program
on
art
on
the
public
right-of-way
and
I'm
gonna
turn
this
over
to
mr
gleason,
and
I
guess
mr
tyus
you're
gonna.
You
have
a
brief
presentation,
correct.
A
Deputy
city
manager
tyus
is
going
to
present
on
this,
but
I
want
to
share
with
opening
remarks.
This
topic
has
been
something
that's
been
discussed
in
this
community
for
several
years
and
for
the
last
year
year
and
a
half.
This
is
something
that
we've
been
working
on.
Billy's
run
the
lead
on
this.
A
We
had
planned
on
having
something
this
spring,
but
I'll
say:
coven
got
in
the
way.
A
Here's
some
names
that
I'm
gonna
share
that
truly
have
a
passion
and
our
champions
of
this
number
one
on
the
list
is
herb
and
pam
eaton
former
alderwoman
diana
howman
and
her
husband,
dave
and
then
also
the
tiltons
tim
and
vicky,
and
I
realize
that
there's
others,
but
definitely
have
been
those
that
have
been
very
active
in
in
this
conversation-
and
this
is
a
presentation
tonight
if
we
get
a
thumbs
up
from
council,
this
could
be
an
agenda
item
next
week
on
september
28th,
billy.
Q
Thank
you,
tim
mayor
members
of
council,
actually
tim
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
and
that
this
has
been
a
discussion
for
quite
some
time
in
this
community.
Even
before
I
got
here
and
part
of
the
reason
I
think
is
because
art
can
be
difficult,
it
can
be
subjective,
it's
it's,
you
know
what's
good
and
what's
not,
it
depends
on
who
you
ask,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
about
is
how
do
we
make?
Q
How
do
we
come
up
with
a
process
that
is
fair
that
is
non-bureaucratic
and
that
allows
for
the
support
of
art
in
our
community.
As
you
know,
bloomington
has
a
very
active
artist
community
and
a
number
of
talented
and
award-winning
artists,
a
number
of
venues
for
displaying
art.
Q
But
again,
how
do
you
harness
that
into
a
program
that
is,
is
you
know,
allows
for
support
of
that?
So
what
we
have
done?
We've
talked
to
a
number
of
those
entities
that
tim
mentioned
and
others
we've
talked
with
you
over
time
and
what
we're
proposing
is
a
framework
that
could
help
support
this.
I
want
to
be
clear.
This
program
that
we're
talking
about
tonight
is
for
art,
on
public
property
and
that's
municipal
land
and
facilities.
That's
potentially
sidewalk
art,
that's
potentially
arts
in
the
parks.
Q
You
know
murals
on
city
property,
we
did
it.
We
did
a
a
mural
program
last
year
in
partnership
with
some
folks.
You
know
there
are
some
communities
that
are
doing
some
really
interesting
things.
There
are
some
that
have
done
things
like
paint
the
plows
program.
So
how
do
we
support
that
myriad
of
of
programs
in
our
community
and
so
in
concept?
What
we
would
propose
is
the
creation
of
a
review
committee
that
you
know
each
year,
issues
a
request
for
artist,
submittals
or
multiple
requests
for
artist
submission
submittals.
Q
Typically,
that's
called
a
call
call
to
artist
so,
for
example,
maybe
this
committee,
which
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
later,
says
you
know
in
the
first
quarter.
We
want
to
do
a
sculpture,
we're
doing
a
request
for
proposals
to
the
artist
community.
You
can
either
limit
it
to
local
or
you
could
do
it
nationally.
You
know
to
submit
your
proposals
to
us
and
that
would
be
based
on
a
specific
set
of
criteria.
Q
We
would
get
those
submittals.
This
committee
would
accept
those
proposals
and
review
them
and
make
a
recommendation
based
on
again
pre-established
criteria
to
the
city
council
for
a
final
decision.
I
I
think
that
having
a
a
review
group
is
important
for
a
couple
of
reasons,
a
it.
It
gives
an
added
level
of
transparency,
and
it
also
gives
important
public
input
to
this
process.
Q
I
think
that
it
eliminates
putting
you
frankly
or
staff
in
a
position
where
it's
we're
saying.
Yes,
I
like
this
one,
but
no
I
don't
like
this
one
and
you
know
again,
art
is
subjective,
and
so
you
it
takes
us
out
of
that.
Q
The
other
thing
it
does
is
that,
if
we're
doing
this
based
on
a
set
of
pre-established
criteria,
it
eliminates
the
whole
argument
that
some
people
will
make
that
you're
selecting
this,
because
you
know
this
person
or
billy
you're,
selecting
that,
because
I
know
this
person
or
whatever
so
having
this
committee
helps
with
that.
Okay,
one
of
the
things
that
we're
recommending
is
that
this
committee
be
made
up
of
of
two
members
of
the
beautification
committee.
Q
Two
members
of
com,
two
members
of
the
cultural
commission
and
three
members
of
the
public
again,
the
odd
number
helps
with
with
voting
and
also
you
know,
having
that
range
of
folks
gives
a
variety
of
perspectives
and
input
to
the
process,
and
so
conceptually
again,
it's
review
committee.
Q
You've
heard
our
recommendations
for
how
it'll
be
made
up.
Obviously
we're
open
to
that
to
to
your
your
suggestions.
Another
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
there
are
a
number
of
cities
who
are
handling
public
art
in
a
in
much
the
same
way
as
what
we
have
proposed
tonight.
Evanston
does
it's
very
similarly
urbana?
Does
it
elgin?
Does
it
similarly
aurora
does
it?
I
know
that
peoria
has
a
sculpture
walk
program
where
they
do
it
very
similarly
to
to
to
this
as
well,
and
so
we're
not
reinventing
the
wheel.
Q
This
is
how
a
lot
of
cities
are
doing
this.
One
of
the
things
that
has
come
up
as
part
of
the
conversation
is,
you
know
in
the
event
that
the
city
takes
on
a
program
like
this.
You
know.
Is
there
an
opportunity
for
us
to
to
fund
it
to
have
skin
in
the
game
for
lack
of
a
better
way
to
say
it,
and
I
think
there
are
a
number
of
opportunities
for
possibly
doing
that
in
the
event
that
you
want
to.
Q
Obviously
I
well
not,
obviously
I
I
believe
that
part
of
this
may
involve
some
private
fundraising
and
I
do
know
that
there
are
groups
out
there
who
would
be
willing
to
commit
money
to
something
like
this.
Excuse
me,
I
I
know
that
there
are
lots
of
pressures
on
our
revenues
today.
All
things
considered,
but
you
know
many.
If
not
most,
cities
also
contribute
a
portion
of
general
fund
revenues
as
well.
We're
not
necessarily
talking
about
a
large
contribution,
but
but
you
know
that's
a
possibility
as
well.
Q
Q
So
when
there's
a
new
development,
you
know,
is
there
a
possibility
here
to
to
utilize
a
portion
of
those
funds,
for
maybe
an
arts
in
the
park
program
whereby
we're
incur
say
a
subdivision
comes
about,
and
we
we
utilize,
if
possible,
a
portion
of
that
parkland
dedication
fee
to
say:
okay,
you're
contributing
this
money,
there's
a
park
near
this
new
subdivision.
Q
Q
If
we're
able
to
do
that,
and
finally,
probably
one
of
the
more
popular
frankly
concepts
for
funding
is
what
folks
are
calling
a
percent
for
art
fee
where
cities
and
towns
and
even
the
state
of
illinois
and
the
federal
government
they
currently
set
aside
a
percent
of
each
public
construction
budget
for
art
in
the
project
a
lot
of
times.
That's
you
know
one
half
of
one
percent
to
one
percent.
The
concept
is
that
you
know
art
helps
offset
or
beautify
the
install
installation
of
hard
infrastructure.
Q
So
you
know,
while
we
love
our
streets,
while
we
love
our
sewers,
you
know
the
building
of
that.
It's
hardscape
and
it's
not
always
pretty
frankly,
and
so
you
know,
is
there
an
opportunity
to
you
know
attach
a
fee
to
that
type
of
work
that
goes
into
beautifying
our
community,
and
so
those
are
possibilities
for
funding
as
well
again,
as
I
said,
the
state
of
illinois
currently
does
that
they
have
an
art
and
architecture
program
where
they
they
contribute
with
the
capital.
Q
Development
board
reserves,
one
half
of
one
percent
for
the
construction
cost
of
state
or
building
or
renovation
projects,
city
of
chicago,
obviously
does
a
number
of
other
cities
do
as
well.
I
think
I
read
that
actually
28
states
currently
have
some
type
of
similar
percent
for
art
fee
and
so
really
what
we
wanted
to
do
tonight.
I
know
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
this.
Q
Before
is
to
introduce
the
concept
to
you
see
if
you
have
any
questions
and
see
if,
in
in
concept
you,
you
would
be
comfortable
with
a
framework
like
this
being
review
group
call
to
artist
that
group
reviews
provides
you
with
a
recommendation.
That's
generally
the
concept
to
see,
if
you,
you
have
any
thoughts
on
any
of
that,
and
with
that
we'll
take
questions.
If
you
have
any.
D
Questions
we'll
start
with
the
council
member
carrillo
and
then
matthew.
I
see
in
that
order.
M
Yeah,
I
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
doing
all
the
legwork
on
this.
I
think
this
is
super
critical
to
our
community
identity,
like
I
think
people
tend
to
put
art
in
sort
of
a
bucket
where
that's
like
the
bonus
and
the
extra,
but
I
actually
think
that
art
in
our
community
spaces
is
the
type
of
stuff
that
brings
people
to
together
in
a
way
that,
like
we
need
now
more
than
ever.
So
I
guess
and
and
billy.
M
I
think
you
and
I
have
have
talked
about
this,
but
one
thing
that
is
important
to
me
is
an
ad
that
I
would
like
to
see
as
a
part
of
this
framework
is
the
idea
of
some
rotating
members
of
this
committee,
because
while
we
want
to
take
an
approach
as
a
whole
city,
I
do
think
that
there
are
things
that
are
like
appropriate,
more
appropriate
in
certain
neighborhoods
than
other,
and
I
think
people
who
actually
reside
in
the
places
where
the
art
will
be
up
should
should
get
to
could
should
get
the
way
in
to
this
process.
M
So,
for
example,
like
what's
available
out
where
jeff
lives-
or
you
know
what
gets
the
art
that
gets
approved
out
where
jeff
lives
isn't
gonna
shouldn't,
be
I
don't
think
the
same
as
the
art
that
works
in
my
neighborhood,
and
I
actually
think
that
that
that
is
how
people
build
like
neighborhood
pride
and
neighborhood
identity,
and
I
think
our
city
is
just
big
enough
that
people
do
actually
identify
with
their
specific
neighborhoods.
M
M
If
someone
is
submitting
a
proposal
for
our
work
on
the
west
side,
I
would
really
want
to
make
sure
that
those
three
people
making
those
decisions
are
folks
who
reside
on
the
west
side
and
are
gonna
like
live
with
that
piece
of
art
and
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
art
that
reflects
our
identity
as
west
siders,
which
I
think
actually
is
a
way
to
involve
community
and
and
help
them
feel
ownership
over
these
projects.
M
And
I
also
think
that,
like
we
should
have
skin
in
the
game-
and
I
I
I
do
see
this
as
one
of
the
critical
functions
of
the
city
and
we
should
fund
it
or
at
a
minimum.
Help
secure
like
be
part,
be
good
partners
in
helping
to
secure
the
funding
for
this,
because
it
shouldn't
just
be
that
people
who
can
like
who
can
afford
the
art
that
can
like
like
who
can
afford
the
project
or
who
have
the
connections
to
make
a
project
happen.
M
Are
the
people
who
get
to
put
art
in
our
public
spaces.
So
I
don't
think
it's
just
a
matter
of
like
you
know
nobody
likes
to
spend
money,
but
it's
a
matter
of
equity
so
like
if
we
can
actually
help
finance
the
art.
I
think
that
actually
gives
people
a
more
equal
shot
at
you
know
making
the
city
there
is
in
this
way.
D
H
Thanks
mayor,
I
just
had
the
idea
that
we
should
put
scott
black
in
charge
of
all
this
because
he's
going
to
have
some
free
time
so.
H
No
billy,
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
this.
I
know
that,
right
after
you
got
here,
it
was
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
hitting
you
up
about
and
pushing
to
make
sure
that
this
kept
moving
forward.
H
You
know
when
I
was
on
the
cultural
commission.
We
actually
tried
to
identify
all
the
public
art
that
we
could
find
around
town
and
it's
actually
all
in
the
core
of
the
city.
You
know,
there's
not
really
anything
we
could
identify
on
the
west
side
or
the
east
side.
It's
actually
all
pretty
much
in
the
core
and
we
started
looking
at
we're
like
well,
why?
Why
is
there
nothing
on
the
east
side
in
any
of
the
parks?
Why
is
there
nothing
on
the
west
side?
H
Any
you
know
everything
with
the
exception
of
miller
park,
everything
else
seems
to
be
very
essentially
located
right
in
the
core,
so
I
I
think
this
is
a
great
program
and
I
really
appreciate
you
bringing
it
forward
and
I
look
forward
to
supporting
it.
N
N
I
would
like
us
to
use
this
to
to
take
a
a
serious
look
at
identification
of
who
the
city
of
bloomington
is
overall
and
let's,
let's
have
an
opportunity
to
identify
and
who
this
you
know
who
we
are
as
a
city
rather
than
taking
a
segregated
approach
or
highlighting
differences,
I
would
prefer
to
see
us
think
about
identifying
our
commonalities
and
creating
a
sense
of
community
around
this
art,
so
I
so
in
that
regard,
I
think
that
that
would
probably
lead
to
you
know
greater
consistency
in
those
that
serve
so
that
we
can
execute
on
on
that
that
concept,
so
that
would
be
my
input
on
this.
I
Thank
you
mayor.
One
thing
I
wanted
to
add:
I
mean
I,
I
certainly
agree
with
the
importance
of
public
art
and,
and
I've
talked
to
herb
and
pam
a
number
of
times
on
this
as
well,
and
thank
you
for
billy
bringing
this
to
the
point
that
it
is
after
20
years
so,
but
I
mean
I
think
we
also
have
to
remember
when
we
were
when
I
was
on
the
cultural
commission.
I
We
were
also
talking
about
how
we
can
you
know,
publicize
our
art
right
and
and
get
it
out
to
other
communities.
You
know
so
it
could
be
a
tourist
attraction
right.
Secondly,
it
also
helps
in
economic
development
right
so
businesses
that
are
wanting
to
to
move
here,
they're
going
to
look
at
our
arts
and
culture
as
well
as
other
things
to
see.
Is
this
a
place
that
we
want
to
put
our
business
that
our
employees
are
going
to
going
to
want
want
to
move
to?
I
I
would
say
that
you
know
I
agree
with
both
older
persons,
jen
and
bray.
I
think
we
both
have
to
have
art
that
is,
potentially
you
know
fits
into.
You
know
a
certain
side
of
town
as
well
as
having
art
that
that
fits
everyone.
A
couple
of
questions
or
maybe
points
I
wanted
to
make
is.
I
I
know
it
could
be
a
conflict
of
interest,
but
if
we
thought
about
having
artists
on
the
committee
to
give
kind
of
a
background
on
the
art
that's
being
considered,
for
instance,
also
there
may
be
art
like
I've,
seen
some
art
in
herb
studio.
That
is
like
already
done,
so
we
wouldn't
necessarily
have
to
you
know
we
probably
want
to
pay
for
that.
But
you
know
this
is
stuff.
I
That
may
already
be
done,
and
I
guess
my
thought
on
public
funding
is
I
don't
know
how
much
money
that
we're
getting
now
from
park
dedications.
I
don't
know
how
much
often
that
happens
or
same
thing
with
public
construction
projects,
but
maybe
we
can
put
in
some
seed
money
and
then
and
then
look
to
add.
You
know
those
other
things.
You
know
that
will
hopefully
add
to
that
fund
as
the
years
go
by,
but
I
am
fully
supportive.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
great
presentation,
I'm
really
excited
about
about
this
and
what
can
come
of
it.
I
think
that
that
arts,
at
least
for
me
anyway,
can
save
a
life
and
it's
it's
nice
to
see
that
we
have
some
guidelines
in
place.
My
suggestion
would
be
to
to
think
about
those
guidelines
as
a
process
for
incorporating
points
of
view.
B
So
if,
if
the
committee
is
reviewing
a
potential
project
proposal
or
a
series
of
proposals,
there
might
be
a
way
to
incorporate
feedback
from
the
community
or
parts
of
the
community
where
that
would
be
implemented.
B
So
it's
it's
happening
in
a
systematic,
unified
way
with
opportunities
for
input,
and
I
also
am
in
favor
of
looking
at
at
ways
to
fund
this
through
something
like
a
an
arts,
land
dedication,
fee
or
percentage
for
art
fee
set
aside
in
construction
and
there
there
are
an
awful
lot
of
grants
available
for
these
kinds
of
projects,
so
in
in
terms
of
jeff's
idea
about
seed
money,
I
think
we
can
probably
find
some
grant
funding
to
do
this.
D
Thank
you
julie,
appreciate
that
councilman
I'm
gonna
go
actually
do
because,
starting
with
people
who
have
not
spoken
yet
on
this
topic,
I'm
gonna
start
with
council
member
bolan
and
then
carrillo
council,
member
bolan.
L
L
L
L
If
we
use
construction
money
or
added
tax
money
or,
however,
you
want
to
call
it
that's
coming
from
the
taxpayers,
which
you
can
say:
okay,
it
doesn't
really
matter,
but
I
prefer
to
have
private
investment
heavily
involved
in
this,
not
just
public
dollars.
L
So
that's
where
I'm
going
on
that
and
you
said
something
about
the
fee
for
construction.
Could
you
explain?
Would
that
be
construction
of
a
building
or
just
construction
for
sewers
and
streets,
and
all
that.
Q
Sure,
if
we
could
define
it
any
way
we
wanted
to
frankly
so,
for
example,
we
could
say
you
know,
you
know
in
the
categories
of
capital
improvements
plus
our
road
work,
plus
water,
plus
tour
plus
storm.
You
know
next
year
we're
going
to
do
upwards
of
28
million
dollars.
You
know
that's
gonna
change
based
on
covet,
obviously,
but
you
know
we
budgeted
for
that.
So
say
you
did
one
half
of
one
percent
of
that
number.
Q
Q
D
Thank
you
so
much
council,
member
carrillo
and
then
milowambley
and
then,
if
we
gonna
do
anything
else,
we're
gonna
have
to
extend
time
because
we've.
D
P
So
I
so,
first
of
all
billy.
Thank
you
very
much
for
putting
some
structure
to
this
process.
P
P
Is
that
what
happens
when
we
put
something
on
a
building
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
the
building
has
to
be
demolished,
and
you
have
people
who
are
already
attached
to
the
art.
P
It
makes
the
situation
very
difficult,
so
I
I'm
hoping
that
there
will
be
not
only
a
process
to
address
that,
but
also
a
lot
of
thought
ahead
of
time
so
that
it
doesn't
happen.
I
mean
I,
I
know,
of
certain
situations
that
have
happened
here
in
town.
I
that
I
will
not
speak
of,
but
it
just
was
not
a
very,
very
pleasant
situation
to
to
have
to
go
forth
and
also
I
wanted
to
reiterate
this
idea
of
economic
development.
I
think
you
know
oftentimes,
you
know
we.
P
I
I'm
all
for
stuff
in
the
neighborhoods,
that's
great,
but
I
I
also
would
want
us
to
think
big
and
and
really
put
things
together.
You
know
having
a
theme
so
that
it
doesn't
appear
to
be
things
that
are
disjointed.
You
know
here
something
in
this
park
and
in
that
park
and
then
there's
really
no
theme
to
it,
but
I
think
you
know
we
have
to
kind
of
get
into
the
habit
of
packaging
things
together,
so
that
you
know
anyone
coming
from
the
outside.
P
You
know
would
be
clearly
interested
in
in
seeing
this.
This
whole
theme
that
has
developed
as
opposed
to
nobody
will
come
here
for
a
statue
once
that
year.
You
know,
but
they
would
come
for
an
idea.
The
theme
that
that
that
would
have
been
developed
so.
M
Yes,
so
yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
piggyback
off
of
that,
and
and
and
really
just
say,
that
I
do
think
that
we
can
reach
a
good
balance
between
a
whole
city,
identity
approach
and
a
neighborhood
pride
approach.
But
I
think
that
the
reality,
though,
to
respond
a
little
bit
to
council
member
bray's
comments
is
that
we
already
live
in
a
community,
that's
segregated
because
of
historic
factors
like
redlining,
which
none
of
us
had
anything
to
do
with.
But
that
is
the
reality
of
our
community.
M
M
M
So
you
know
ethnic,
cultural
and
racial
representation
may
not
be
the
highest
priority
in
those
parts
of
town,
but
they
certainly
are
a
high
priority
for
those
of
us
who
reside
in
these
neighborhoods.
And
so
I
I
do
think
that
again,
having
wrote
some
rotating
committee
members
would
give
us
that
balance
right,
because
we'd
have
some
some
members
of
this
new
committee.
M
That
would
be
members
of
existing
committees
that
are
looking
at
a
whole
city
approach,
and
then
you
know
whatever
those
three
or
two
or
whatever
we
decide
rotating
members
of
the
public
that
are
selected
upon
the
geography
of
the
project
that
we're
looking
at
could
give
us
some
of
that
neighborhood
pride
perspective,
and
so
I
I
think
that
that
would
be
a
really
nice
challenge.
D
Councilmember
brett
and
then
this
is
our
last
comment
kim
you
got
the
last
words.
N
I
reject
notions
that
only
certain
sections
of
town,
value,
diversity
or
in
fact,
display
diversity
and
would
encourage
everyone
to
come
forward
in
a
way
that
we
collaborate
and
and
again
create
a
sense
of
community
that
identifies
who
we
are
as
the
city
of
bloomington
and
let's
focus
on
that
commonality,
rather
than
tear
our
community
asunder.
By
constantly
focusing
on
those
things
that
bring
us
into
conflict
and
and
segregate
us
and
separate
us.
So
thank
you.
Okay.
Thank
you.
D
Very
much
at
this
point
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
for
up
to
five
minutes
for
our
city
manager.
Mr
gleason,
you
have
a
report
for
us.
A
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
I
have
some
city
manager
comments
and
I
did
have
a
couple
of
covered
comments,
but
I'll
move
quickly,
phil,
if
you
would
put
the
first
slide
in
just
just
a
reminder
that
downtown
bloomington
farmers,
market
7
30
to
12
on
saturday
next
slide,
I
believe,
is
the
census
and
a
reminder.
I
noticed
everybody
had
shirts
on
last
week.
Looked
very
nice
there's
still
time
and
we
are,
we
have
done
very
well
as
a
community
and
as
a
region,
but
there's
still
numbers
to
be
had,
and
they
do
count.
A
A
Another
item
that
I
wanted
to
share-
I
don't
think
it
started
today,
but
it
will
sometime
this
week,
is
the
demolition
of
o'neill
pool.
So
that's
coming
up
and
again
I
don't
think
it
started
today,
but
I
do
know
that
it
will
start
this
week
on
to
a
couple
of
quick
covet
related
comments.
A
One
just
wanted
to
share
a
quick
employee
update.
I
haven't
said
that
not
a
little
bit
so
wanted
to
share
that.
We
have
had
some
covet
positives
of
the
employees.
A
We've
had
some
coveted
positives
within
the
family
unit
that
have
required
employee
quarantine,
and
we
still
are
in
this
position
that
I've
described
in
the
past,
where
we're
able
to
be
extra
precautionary
to
protect
that
workforce,
because
we
have
not
seen
too
many
covered
positives
or
direct
exposures
to
co-deposits,
so
just
want
to
provide
that
quick
update
to
the
community
and
then
the
second
item
that
I
wanted
to
share
was
the
obvious
that
we
see
in
the
news
that
we're
off
the
watch
list
as
mclean
county
and
the
numbers
are
trending
downward.
F
A
Might
have
handled
this,
you
know
in
their
own
way
that
best
met
the
needs
of
that
community.
This
council,
I
think,
deserves
credit
and
I'm
hearing
from
the
business
community
a
deep
appreciation
that
we
dealt
with
this
as
a
case
by
case
versus
a
blanket
policy
that
would
have
impacted
potentially
negatively
the
entire
business
community.
So
we
started
messaging.
You
know
three
or
four
weeks
ago,
through
some
of
the
elected
officials
through
media
releases
and
that
direct
communication
to
the
establishments
that
was
key.
A
We
also
knew
that,
regardless
of
what
we
were
doing,
we
had
a
wait
period
of
about
14
days
to
see
the
impacts
of
whatever
action
we
were
taking
and
very
happy
to
say
that
we've
seen
compliance,
even
though
our
enforcement
checks
through
the
bloomington
police
department,
still
are
very
much
a
priority
and
will
be,
you
know
until
further
notice,
but
we're
seeing
the
positive
effects
of
a
things
that
we
set
in
motion
three
or
four
weeks
ago,
and
with
that,
that's
all
I've
got
mayor
and
council.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
Now
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
tim
for
all,
you've
done
and
and
working
with
the
chief
in
terms
of
aggressive
enforcement
and
with
legal.
Obviously,
we've
still
got
quite
a
few
cases
and
incidents
of
of
businesses
that
we
want
to
make
sure
are
fully
in
compliance
and
we
unders
they
understand
that
we're
serious.
D
We
may
be
beyond
the
spike,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
can't
we
must
not
continue
to
be
vigilant.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
so
much
for
all
your
work
and
thank
this
council
and
others
for
for
moving
forward.
At
this
point,
I'm
going
to
use
the
chairs
discretion
to
give
the
floor
very
briefly
to
one
of
our
distinguished
colleagues
who
has
worked
in
public
service
elective
office
since
puberty,
and
that's
a
council
member
black.
O
Thank
you
jerry
thanks
tim,
so
you
guys
have
probably
heard
it
or
puberty.
Wasn't
it?
Oh,
my
god,
this
guy
yeah
since
I
was
since
I
was
21.
O
So
yeah
three
weeks
ago,
yes,
I'm
kidding.
D
O
Yes,
you've
heard
a
couple
things
all
right.
O
All
right,
let
the
record
show
terry
is
being
quiet.
No,
I
shared
this
with
the
council
this
morning.
You've
heard
a
couple
of
jokes
this
evening
about
it,
but
I
wanted
to
share
some
information
with
the
public.
So
this
week
I'm
putting
my
house
on
the
market
because
last
week
my
beautiful
wife
hollis
and
I
put
an
offer
on
a
new
house
which
was
accepted.
O
This
new
home
is
not
within
the
boundaries
of
ward
7.,
so
I
will
need
to
announce
that
I'm
intending
to
resign
my
seat
towards
the
end
of
october,
don't
worry,
I
will
still
be
in
west
bloomington,
though
I
had
hoped
to
finish
up
my
term,
but
this
home
is
a
tremendous
opportunity
for
my
family,
literally
exceeding
all
the
things
that
hollis
and
I
wanted
in
our
dream.
Home
life
is
about
seizing
opportunities,
so
we
are
both
pretty
pumped.
O
O
Next
few
weeks
here
in
fact
took
some
constituent
calls
today
and
we'll
continue
that,
through
my
last
day
of
service,
it's
been
an
absolute
honor
to
serve
on
the
council
and
represent
ward
7,
these
past
nearly
eight
years
more
to
come,
and
I'm
sure
I'll
have
more
to
say
later,
but
thanks
terry
for
allowing
me
the
opportunity
to
share
this
information
this
evening.
Thank.
D
You
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
We
really
appreciate
all
the
work
you've
done
and
your
your
great
service
to
our
community
and
obviously
ward,
seven.
Thank
you
so
much
and
it's
bittersweet,
I
I
know
the
house
you're
buying,
that's
awesome
and
I
also
obviously
we
all
wish
you
well.
D
Thank
you
so
much
at
this
point.
Do
I
have
a
motion
to
adjourn.
D

member
carrillo.

second
second

ray

excuse

yeah,

saying
