Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Okay,
awesome
welcome
on
a
hot
summer
evening
sounds
like
the
title
of
a
song:
maybe
not
okay,
so
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
call
to
order
the
meeting
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
for
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
we
are
going
to
start
with
roll
call,
Madam
Clerk.
B
A
Next
item
on
the
agenda
is
public
comment.
Madame
clerk.
Do
we
have
any
public
comment?
I
know
we
receive
some
on
email
right,
yeah.
B
So
we
did
receive
one
emailed
public
comment
that
came
from
Karen
Irvin
and
was
provided
to
council
earlier
today,
and
then
we
have
four
registered
to
speak
today
in
person
after.
A
Your
statement,
okay,
sounds
good.
Public
comment
is
an
opportunity
for
speakers
to
provide
their
reviews
and
feedback
to
the
city
council.
It
is
also
an
opportunity
for
the
city
council
to
listen
to
and
hear
diverse
points
of
view
to
maximize
the
impact
of
public
comment
and
show
respect
for
the
expression
of
All
Views.
Speakers
should
maintain
Civility
and
focus
on
City
issues.
A
Speakers
must
identify
themselves
for
the
record
but
are
not
required
to
give
their
address.
Each
speaker
is
given
the
floor
for
three
minutes,
and
the
council
does
not
respond
or
engage
in
debate
and
any
speaker
that
engages
in
threatening
and
disorderly
Behavior
will
be
deemed
out
of
order
and
their
time
seized.
C
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Jackie
Beyer
and
I.
Just
have
a
few
different
things
that
I'd
like
to
speak
on.
First
I
want
to
recognize
the
public
works
department
for
doing
such
a
great
job,
repairing
a
crumbling
section
of
Broad
Creek
Road.
C
C
I
also
appreciate
the
department
finally
alerting
the
safe
recipients
via
Facebook
and
a
press
release
today
that
the
safe
is
actually
not
for
the
guns,
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
there
is
any
liability
to
the
city
if
someone's
gun
is
ruined
by
using
the
safe
and
was
just
curious,
if
the
purchase
of
the
fire
safes
will
be
effect,
will
affect
the
reimbursement
from
the
state
for
the
from
the
violence,
prevention,
Grant
and
then
I
also
just
want
to
I
know
that
salaries
of
you
know.
C
Public
servants
are
always
a
touchy
subject
and
I,
don't
know
what
the
procedure
would
be,
but
is
there
any
way
to
increase
the
salaries
of
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
members,
given
the
amount
of
work
that
you
do
seems
like?
The
pay
is
quite
on
unbalanced
compared
to
the
great
service
that
you
provide,
the
the
city
and
finally
I
just
want
to
say,
Happy
Juneteenth
for
all
those
that
celebrate.
D
Hello,
Tom
Kirk
the
reason
I'm
attending
the
council
meetings
and
I
I
intend
to
to
come
to
him
for
one
year,
I
think
in
that
time
everybody
will
have
the
chance
to
get
to
know
me
and,
and
in
return
I'll
get
to
know
everybody
I
want
to
present
to
the
city
at
some
point
in
time,
hopefully
in
the
next
couple
of
months,
a
project
that
I
want
to
build.
You
know
for
the
city
and
for
myself,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
this
is
the
right
place
to
do.
D
It
I
had
a
great
concern
over
the
last
meeting
when
I
think
what
the
goal
was
was
you
know
for
a
development
to
take
place,
but
I
think
some
Union.
You
know
issues
got
brought
into
that
and
the
reason
it
concerned
me
was
if
we're
willing
to
pass
on,
or
even
have
the
conversation
of
passing
on
taxpayer
dollar
to
make
up
a
difference.
You
know
a
prevailing
wage.
That
really
scares
me
and
really
bothers
me.
D
Not
only
do
I
need
the
city
to
accept
what
my
proposal
will
be,
but
I
need
to
make
sure
that
the
city
is
responsible
enough
to
spend
the
money
wisely
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
anything
that's
that's
a
balance
or
or
brought
out
a
balance
by
city
or
by
government.
It's
going
to
be
paid
for
by
somebody
at
some
point
in
time
and
then
I'm
kind
of
tired
of
you
know
my
taxes
going
up
and
whatnot
for
responsibility.
D
That
way,
so
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
I
need
to
know
about
to
make
sure
that
this
is
where
I
want
to
be
and
I'm
really
concerned.
So,
when
unionistry,
when
Union
issues
are
brought
before
you,
you
need
to
remember
that
that
Union
is
a
business.
It's
the
same
as
a
business.
If
I
threatened
you
every
time,
you
didn't
use
my
services,
you
know.
How
would
you?
How
would
you
feel
about
that
I
was
concerned?
You
know
with
with
the
comments
that
Tom
brought
forth
and
I
spoke
with
this
one-on-one.
D
So
never
will
I
bring
an
issue
by
any
means
of
disrespect,
but
you
know
on
Andy's
job.
Let's
say
at
high
side
there
was
250
people
that
were
going
to
be
on
that
job.
If
you
use
Union
issue
and
Union
pay
for
the
entire
project,
you
know
three
of
you
voted.
No,
because
you
wanted
to
represent
your
unions
over,
let's
say:
250
people,
five
percent
of
all
the
public.
We
have
80
000
people,
five
percent,
four
thousand
people,
six
percent
or
eight
percent
was-
was
six
thousand
people.
D
You
guys
are
making
decisions
and
voting
for
six
percent
of
the
population.
Where,
let's
say
ninety
percent
of
the
population
is
going
to
have
to
pay
the
bill
on
what
it
is
that
you
believe
in
so
I've
got
a
strong
opinion
of
that
because
I
live,
it
I
feel
it
at
the
end
of
the
day.
Whatever
my
expenses
are,
I
have
to
make
the
same
amount
of
money
and
all
I
simply
do
is
pass
the
bill
on
to
those
that
are
underneath
me.
D
A
E
F
Hello,
my
name
is
Serena
fish.
I
think
you
all
know
that
by
now,
I
live
in
Ward,
six
next
door
to
another
Ward.
One
I
have
two
things:
I
want
to
speak
about.
One
is
on
the
initiative
proposal
to
create
a
special
commission
to
develop
a
comprehensive
plan
to
address
the
issue
of
gun
violence
locally
I've
spoken
before
numerous
times
about
this.
We
have
a
commission,
it's
called
the
pscrb
board.
F
If
any
of
you
would
attend
meetings
or
know
some
of
the
things
that
we
do,
we
get
regular
reports
on
how
many
calls
we
get
reports
on
all
the
things
that
are
going:
I'm,
sorry,
I'm,
just
okay,
I'm,
sorry,
part
of
our
family
here
so
use
of
force
right
now,
June
1st
out
of
May
5992
calls
as
of
June
1st
four
have
risen
to
a
complaint
status.
F
99.7
percent
of
the
calls
that
the
police
department
gets
don't
call
for
service,
don't
call
for
Force
the
result
or
it's
something.
That's
very
our
current
police
chief
with
the
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
Grant
he
got
has
moved
many
things
into
place,
which
has
made
it
already
a
better
Community
catching
people,
much
quicker
with
the
flock
cameras
and
I.
F
E
I'm
fine,
thank
you
and
I.
Do
apologize!
That's!
Okay,
not
very
many
things!
Stop
being
my
tracks,
but
with
my
mouth
but
I
I
do
appreciate
it
hi.
My
name
is
Deborah
Johnson
I'm
Ward,
four
I
wanted
to
present
to
you
and
I'm
a
proposition
I
wanted
to
talk
to
you
guys
about
there's
a
very
special
day.
Juneteenth
today
is
the
celebration
of
our
Juneteenth.
E
We
haven't
been
in
existence
too
long
as
far
as
celebrating
this
special
day,
but
it
is
a
Federal
holiday
and
it
is
a
state
holiday
and
I
am
standing
before
you
at
this
moment,
because
I
guess
that's
I'm
kind
of
overwhelmed
by
this,
because
it
means
a
lot
to
me
to
a
man
and
or
to
amend
your
ordinance
ordinance
for
your
Council
meetings
and
article
2-203
chapter
2,
section
15
talks
about
your
regular
committees
and
on
holidays
and
special
occasions
you
will
have
your
meetings.
E
If
it
falls
on
a
Monday,
you
will
have
it
on
a
Tuesday
I.
Would
I
would
like
to
amend
this
article
article
number
paragraph
C
in
which,
right
now,
your
Committee
of
the
whole
committee,
that
we're
in
right
now
I
would
recommend
that
we
amend
that
to
be
consistent
with
your
regular
meetings.
E
This
committee
meets
on
a
Monday
which
is
the
third
Monday
of
of
each
month
and
that
Monday
happens
to
be
a
holiday
I.
Think
you
are.
You
should
think
about
postponing
this
meeting
until
Tuesday,
because
it
should
be
consistent
with
your
regular
meetings
and
it
will
sacrifice
I
apologize,
I'm,
I'm
kind
of
all
over
the
place
today,
but
that
article
should
be
consistent
with
your
regular
City
needs.
There's
only
three
holidays
that
fall
in
for
the
entire
year
on
in
January,
there's
Martin
Luther
King's
birthday.
We
celebrate
that.
E
E
You
would
consider
amending
your
days
to
have
your
council
at
large
meeting
Council
of
the
whole
I'm
selling
meeting
on
Tuesday
instead
of
Monday
I
think
it
would
be
a
a
great
service
to
our
community
and
to
the
people
who
the
Juneteenth
represents,
and
one
last
thing
is
that
if
that
would
take
place,
we
would
not
be
here
tonight.
We
will
be
here
tomorrow
night.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
A
Okay,
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
consent
agenda
and
do
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
which
only
includes
minutes
I'll.
A
Okay,
yeah
and
passes
no
needs
to
announce
we're
gonna,
move
on
to
the
regular
agenda,
a
presentation
and
discussion
on
of
the
Public
Works
Capital
water
Capital
Improvement
plan,
as
requested
by
the
public
works
department
and
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
city
manager.
Gleason.
For
some
initial
remarks,.
H
Thank
you
mayor
and
Council
very
brief
comment
says
we
kick
off
this
conversation
on
our
water
master
plan
and
in
fact
this
is
not
a
kickoff.
This
is
a
continuation
of
the
2019
master
plan.
H
This
truly
is
a
big
deal
and
hoping
that
the
community
is
watching,
because
this
is
that
high
level
conversation,
the
next
steps
in
the
2019
master
plan,
Kevin
kothy,
is
going
to
cover
a
fair
amount
of
ground
in
a
lot
of
areas
that
he's
going
to
speak
to
tonight
will
become
individual
conversations.
H
We've
prepped
Council
for
this
day,
and
this
is
the
very
first
public
conversation
also
on
attendance.
We
have
assistant
Public,
Works,
director,
Bob
Yale,
and
then
we
have
what's
your
title:
Brett
butter
operations,
manager,
Brett,
Lucian,
Kevin
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you.
I
Thank
you,
city
manager,
mayor
and
Council.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
tonight
about
our
Capital
Improvement
plan.
This
will
be,
as
the
city
manager
said,
a
high
level
big
picture
overview
of
our
20-year.
Capital
Improvement
plan
want
to
recognize
our
Public
Works
team
for
all
the
work
that
they
did
putting
this
presentation
together.
It's
not
just
about
me.
It's
about
a
great
group
of
people
I
have
behind
me
that
are
behind
the
scenes
working
hard
every
day
to
bring
Safe
Drinking
Water
to
our
residents.
So
next
slide,
please.
I
The
outline
for
tonight
is
really
a
history
overview
of
our
water
system
and
then
the
capital
Improvement
planning
process
the
components
talk
about
rate
study
in
the
next
steps
into
a
time
frame.
The
picture
you
see
there
is
of
The
Division
Street
Pump
Station.
In
the
background,
the
foreground
is
a
stone
sign
that
is
from
the
original
Water
Works
for
Bloomington
from
1875,
something
that
was
saved.
The
original
plant
is
not
there
any
longer,
but
that
that
stone
was
saved
from
it.
So
just
a
neat
historical
fact
next
slide.
I
All
right
did
we
skip
a
slide
there
we
go.
Thank
you.
This
timeline
is
a
little
bit
hard
to
read,
but
just
want
to
outline
for
you
some
key
Milestones.
This
certainly
isn't
isn't
everything
of
the
city's
water
history,
but
you
know
the
city
goes
back
to
1830s.
I
The
water
system
really
begins
in
1875,
with
construction
at
Division,
Street
of
some
wells,
a
pump
house
and
a
standpipe
that
was
located
just
kind
of
south
of
the
of
the
original
Water
Works
and
by
1906
The
Division
Street
Reservoir,
10
million
Reservoir
was
constructed.
29
was
when
the
water
treatment
plant
Lake
Bloomington.
The
whole
facility
was
all
constructed
and
brought
online.
We
switched
at
that
time
from
well
water
to
Lake
water
and
much
much
more
reliable
source
of
water
for
the
community.
I
In
the
50s
there
was
a
expansion
of
the
plant,
another
transmission
made
to
Bloomington
and
then
with
the
50s.
Some
more
water
was
near
the
raised,
the
spillway
at
Lake
Bloomington
to
provide
for
a
bigger
Reservoir,
some
modernization,
late,
60s
comes
Evergreen
and
also
some
new
Sledge
lagoons,
so
obviously
having
a
second
Lake
made
a
big
difference
as
the
city
grew
and
then
in
the
70s.
I
We
got
the
fort
Jesse
humping
station
towards
the
east
side
and
the
2
million
gallon
storage
tank
in
the
70s,
some
other
water
treatment
plant
improvements
along
with
transmission
main
to
the
city
and
then
in
the
late
70s.
I
Some
of
you
will
remember:
we
had
severe
drought
and
you
know
not
only
did
we
bring
online,
the
Enterprise
Zone
Pump
Station
to
serve
the
west
side
and
some
expansion,
but
we
also
got
the
n89,
the
Mackinac
River
pumping
pool
which
helped
ride
some
supplemental
water,
where
our
Lakes
were
getting
really
low
and
really
helped
Save
The
Day
of
the.
I
In
those
years
in
the
90s
we
had
some
additional
storage,
Fort
Jesse
and
some
additional
pumpage
at
Fort,
Jesse,
Division,
Street
improvements,
and
then
Evergreen
was
raised
in
the
90s
to
provide
for
more
water
there
as
well
and
then
some
other
other
expansions
of
the
transmission
Mains
and
new
elevated
tank
by
I-55,
all
part
of
a
bigger
master
plan
to
to
update
the
water
mains
from
Lake
Bloomington
and
provide
better
for
the
community
in
the
future
and
then
more
recently,
we
had
some
other
expansions
of
the
of
the
transmission
Main.
I
Overall,
this
history,
there
was
water
rate
increases
from
time
to
time.
The
last
Water
Aid
increase
was
in
2012,
so
we've
gone
quite
a
ways
without
that
from
2004
to
2019
we
focused
mainly
on
maintaining
the
system
and
minimizing
costs,
and
then
course
here
lately
in
the
2019-2020
time
frame
water
infrastructure
master
plan
was
approved
by
Council.
So
just
a
quick
overview
of
that
next
slide.
Please
I
think
we
skipped
one
go
back,
one:
oh,
was
it
the
one
before
it
made
us
out
of
order?
I
My
apologies
by
the
Numbers,
the
we
have
one
water
treatment
plant,
one
pumping
pool
two
reservoirs,
five
pump
stations,
six
storage
tanks,
450
miles
of
water,
main
close
to
5
000
fire,
hydrants,

000,
plus
meters
serving
86
about
86
000
residents
of
McLean
County
77
over
77
000
in
in
Bloomington,
but
we
also
serve
some
other
communities
like
Tuan
and
Hudson,
or
our
water
supply
provides
those
communities
with
water
as
well
as
Bloomington
Township.
I
I
So
this
is
a
map
of
the
facilities
we
have
and
starting
up
at
the
north
north
of
Bloomington
normal.
We
have
our
lakes
lake
Bloomington,
Evergreen
Lake,
the
Mackinac
pumping
pool
of
water
treatment
plant
is
at
Lake
Bloomington
water
is
pumped
from
Mackinac
into
Evergreen
lake
under
certain
conditions.
I
A
pump
from
Evergreen
to
the
treatment
plant
and
then
to
town
is
the
finished.
Water
is
supplied
down,
Pipeline
Road
and
goes
to
our
facilities
in
town,
which
are
some
of
the
key
facilities
are,
are
highlighted
there
with
pump
stations
and
elevated
tanks
and
that
water
is
then
stored,
pumped
and
delivered
to
customers
through
these
different
facilities.
I
This
is
a
slide
that
many
of
you
have
seen
before.
It
shows
the
annexations
to
Bloomington
over
the
decades,
so
we're
in
the
middle.
You
see
the
light
purple.
That
is
really
what
the
city
was
from.
I
You
know
basically
the
1850
to
1950
and
then
from
there
the
city
continued
to
grow,
both
east
and
west
and
south
is
a
different
color
show,
but
a
lot
of
it
was
focused
to
the
East
and,
of
course,
as
the
city
grew,
the
utilities
had
to
expand
to
serve
the
demand
and
that's
what
you
kind
of
saw
in
that
timeline
was
a
lot
of
the
growth
over
time
and
expansion
of
the
Water
Supplies
of
the
treatment
facility
and
of
the
pump
stations
next
slide.
Please.
I
The
map
here
is
a
DOT
map
showing
representing
the
water
meters
and
so
what's
interesting
about
this
is
the
the
color
and
the
size
of
the
dot
represents
the
consumption,
and
so
you
can
see
that
there's
there's
consumption
throughout
the
the
city
that
has
grown
to
the
East
and
to
the
west
and
south
as
well.
What's
interesting
about
this,
is
that
if
you
drew
us
Centerline
a
north-south
line
where
consumption
was
equal
to
the
East
and
equal
to
the
West,
that
line
would
be
roughly
Mercer.
I
What's
interesting
to
note
about
that
is
the
original
facilities
were
all
you
know
at
Division
Street,
just
west
of
Center,
but
you
could
see
in
the
other
map
that
we
just
saw
the
original
City.
The
Waterworks
were
well
Centered
for
the
community,
but
as
the
community
has
grown,
it's
not
necessarily
well
centered
and
we'll
mention
that
as
we
we
get
into
some
of
what
we
have
in
the
master
plan
next
slide.
I
The
20-year
Capital
Improvement
plan
Builds
on
those
previous
studies
expands
on
it
and
we
have,
in
these
studies
everything
from
water
treatment,
plant
improvements
to
water
supply,
to
infrastructure,
master
plan
to
distribution
system
planning,
the
2019
water
infrastructure
master
plan
was
started
and
finished
in
about
a
year
approved
by
Council
in
2020,
and
that
that
really
is
the
basis
for
our
20-year
Capital
Improvement
plan.
But
more
has
been
added.
I
On
top
of
that,
as
studies
continue
next
slide,
this
shows
some
different
inputs
components
that
were
considered
as
part
of
the
20-year
Capital
Improvement
planning
that
we
did
and
you
can
read
them
for
yourself,
but
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
went
into
that
that
plan
next
slide.
I
Things
haven't
Stood
Still,
you
know
we
had
2019
2020
approved
master
plan.
We
started
working
as
staff,
we
start
working
on
the
items
that
were
listed
there,
and
so
today,
we've
already
have
either
completed
or
in
process
68
of
those
items.
From
that
2020
plan
and
over
nine
million
dollars
either
completed
or
under
contract,
including
everything
from
water,
and
when
you
see
wtp,
it
means
water
treatment,
plant
the
buildings
and
grounds
Improvement.
I
We've
had
Pump
Station,
building
grounds,
Improvement
water
treatment
plants,
subtle
water,
piping
cleaning
and
replacement
chlorine,
gas
scrubber
Improvement
sets
at
the
plant
ammonia
feed
improvements
at
the
plant,
Hamilton
Road,
elevated
tank.
We
finished
repainting
that
just
a
little
over
a
year
ago,
Fort
Jesse
ground
tanks
are
being
repainted
right.
Now
the
first
one
was
finished
last
year.
The
second
one's
in
works
right
now,
water
treatment,
plant
flow
meter,
replacement,
pump
station
large
electrical
improvements,
skate,
upgrade
scada
supervisory
control
and
data
acquisition.
I
That's
a
system
that
allows
us
to
Monitor
and
control
the
not
only
the
the
water
treatment
plant
itself,
but
also
our
overall
distribution
system,
and
then
we
had
various
items
as
well.
So
you
can
see
that
there's
been
a
lot
in
the
works.
It's
not
just
waiting
for
stuff
to
happen
in
the
future.
We've
had
stuff
going
on
all
along,
but
now
we're
to
the
point
where
we've
got
a
big
master
plan
and
the
picture
kind
of
shows
that
illustrates
it.
I
For
you,
the
the
small
document
in
the
middle
is
the
2019-2020
water
infrastructure
master
plan
for
the
document.
It
sits
on
top
of
the
big
spreadsheet,
with
colors
that
that's
our
20-year
Capital
Improvement
plan
with
a
lot
of
detail
on
it
and
then
underneath
to
the
to
the
right,
is
some
old
construction
plans
for
some
of
our
water
facilities
and
behind
everything
is
a
map
of
Lake
Bloomington.
So
just
gives
you
a
frame
of
reference
of
how
much
has
gone
into
where
we're
at
today
next
slide.
I
I
First,
one
is
the
system-wide
improvements
project
timeline
back
in
January
of
2020
Division
Street
Enterprise
Pump
Station
planning
study
was
approved
by
Council.
We
had
a
consultant
working
on
that
and
then
in
July
of
2020
the
master
plan
that
that
2019
master
plan
was
approved
by
Council
January
2021.
We
had
an
amendment
that
was
done
for
the
division
and
Enterprise
Pump
Station
planning
study
to
consider
alternatives
for
those
two
pump
stations.
Those
The
Division
Street
Pump
Station,
obviously
is
a
Division
Street.
The
Enterprise
Pump
Station
also
happens
to
be
at
Division
Street.
I
But
when
you
look
at
investing
the
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
to
replace
those
facilities,
the
question
became
you
know:
should
those
facilities
still
be
located
there?
Ideally,
given
you
know,
you
saw,
you
saw
the
map
and
the
growth
the
East
and
where
our
demands
are
and-
and
the
study
came
back
and
said
basically
that
yeah
the
Division
Street
Pump
Station.
I
It
doesn't
make
sense
to
continue
to
be
there,
it's
not
as
efficient
for
pumping
it's
not
as
efficient
for
providing
good
water
quality,
and
we
ought
to
be
considering
locating
that
elsewhere
in
the
system
and
we'll
we'll
look
at
a
map
here
shortly
kind
of
give
you
that
overview,
but
we
moved
on
then
in
April
of
22
to
start
design
of
improvements.
I
Preliminary
design
of
the
system-wide
and
we've
been
ongoing
with
that
planning
now
and
then
coming
this
later,
this
summer
will
be,
in
addition,
addition
to
the
contract
to
be
able
to
provide
more
design
work
for
the
system-wide.
The
system-wide
includes
a
number
of
things:
it's
not
just
a
one,
one
location
or
one
item,
it's
a
bunch
of
items
so
next
slide.
I
I
That's
a
fancy
word,
but
the
pump
stations
that
are
in
these
zones
and
the
elevated
tanks
serve
those
zones,
and
you
may
not
think
about
this,
but
you
know,
even
though
Illinois
is
pretty
flat,
there
is
some
relief
to
Bloomington,
and
so
elevation
plays
a
role
in
how
much
pressure
you
have
at
your
home
and
so
as
you
head,
West
generally
elevations
go
lower
and
so
the
the
pressure
needs
to
be
adjusted
for
those
zones
accordingly.
I
So
you
can
see
that
the
biggest
one,
the
purple
one
is
the
Hamilton
pressure,
Zone
and
and
that's
where
most
of
our
consumption
is,
is
where
most
of
our
pumpage
is,
but
that's
not
to
neglect
the
Enterprise,
Zone
or
even
Heartland
Hills,
which
is
a
reduction
in
pressure,
because
it's
even
lower
where
the
South
Main
pressure
Zone,
which
is
a
booster.
The
system-wide
distribution
improvements,
looks
at
all
these
zones
and
looks
at
facilities
that
need
to
be
included
there
to
optimize,
not
only
the
the
delivery
of
water
but
to
provide
redundancy.
I
Elevated
tanks
provide
a
level
of
redundancy
and
safety
in
addition
to
our
pump
stations,
because
you
know
we
want
to
have
multiple
points
of
redundancy.
If
something
goes
down
for
a
little
bit,
we
need
to
have
a
backup
and
and
the
elevated
tanks
provide
that
in
an
evening
of
the
pressure
in
the
system.
So
that's
kind
of
a
quick
overview
of
of
the
need
for
that.
System-Wide,
distribution,
Improvement
and
proper
placement
of
the
facilities
for
what
we
have
today
and
looking
to
the
Future
next
slide.
I
Another
component
is
lead
service
line.
That's
been
in
the
news,
a
lot.
Obviously,
there's
federal
and
state
laws
and
rules
that
have
been
put
in
place
on
the
right
side
is
a
quick
overview
of
Illinois
rules.
That
say
when
we
have
to
have
inventories
turned
into
iepa
the
Illinois
EPA
and
also
when
we
have
to
have
a
facilities
plan
in
place,
we're
working
to
to
meet
all
the
targets,
and
we
did
turn
in
an
updated
inventory
on
April
15th.
I
The
23,
as
required
final
inventory,
is
due
next
spring
on
April
15th,
as
well
as
a
initial
replacement
plan,
and
so
as
as
things
progress.
If
we
find
lead
service
lines
when
we're
digging
and
disturb
them,
we
replace
them
we're
providing
the
notices
required
to
customers
to
let
them
know
they
have
a
lead
service
line.
We're
also
doing
more
evaluation
and
planning
to
to
put
together
the
plan
for
next
year
that
we
need
to
turn
in
and
assembling
service
line,
inventory
information
as
we
find
it.
I
We
continue
to
do
water
quality
testing.
We
have
a
number
of
places
where
we
know.
There's
lead
service
lines.
We
test
the
water
on
a
regular
basis,
and
then
we
need
to
provide
additional
tracking
mechanisms
because,
as
we
replace
lead
service
lines,
we
not
only
have
to
track
that
we
did
it,
but
also
the
costs
involved.
So
there's
a
lot
of
parts
and
pieces,
there's
a
lot
more
to
come
on
this,
but
just
wanted
to
scratch
the
surface
on
this
one.
I
So
you're
aware
that
we
are
complying
with
federal
and
state
laws
as
we
move
forward
as
a
water
system,
next
slide
water
treatment
or
sorry,
the
meters
in
water
main
replacement.
These
are
key
components
of
any
system.
You
have
to
have
good
water
meters
that
are
accurate
and
we
routinely
replace
them
on
a
regular
basis
and
the
fixed
Point
meter
reading
system.
The
the
top
left
picture
is
a
picture
of
the
top
of
Hamilton
tank.
Where
we
have
a
fixed,
Point
collection
point.
I
We
don't
have
all
the
meters
in
the
city
on
fixed
Point,
yet
we're
working
towards
that
which
will
make
getting
me
to
read
as
much
much
simpler
and
easier.
We
also
replace
water
main
as
needed,
and
you
can
see
in
the
slides
some
examples
of
the
pictures
of
water
main
replacement
as
well.
Next
slide
the
Lake
Bloomington
treatment
plant
some
overview
pictures
there.
I
You
see
an
aerial
out
exterior
picture
of
the
plant,
some
of
the
interior
pictures,
including
clericones
and
filter
Galleries,
and
doing
regular
maintenance
there.
But
this
is
all
some
upgrades,
as
are
included
in
the
20-year
Capital
plan
as
well.
For
that
next
slide
the
lake
maintenance
and
watersheds.
I
You
know
it's
important
that
we
maintained
the
Lakes
so
that
we
can
reduce
in
the
wetlands
in
the
lower
left
that
helps
to
filter
out
nutrients,
and
chemicals,
like
nitrates,
helps
to
keep
the
water
cleaner
as
it
enters
the
lake
at
the
lower
right.
We
have
some
Stone
riprap,
that's
placed
to
prevent
erosion
and
stop
sediment
from
getting
into
the
lakes
and
filling
them
up.
We
also
have
some
natural
Prairie
up
there
that
we
burn
annually
with
a
prescribed
burn.
I
You
can
see
that
in
the
middle
and
then
upper
middle
is
a
lime,
sludge
removal,
we
use
lime
for
our
treatment
softening
process
and
that
lime
sludge
is
placed
in
lagoons
that
are
emptied
out
and
and
used
for
Farmers
fields
in
the
fall
and
then,
of
course,
we
have
some
public
Outreach
where
we
reach
out
to
stakeholders
and
let
them
know
about
our
Watershed
Master
plans
and
how
we
can
partner
with
farmers
and
and
landowners
to
reduce
runoff
that
gets
into
the
lakes
and
causes
US
problems
next
slide
rate
study.
I
There
is
a
current
rate
study
under
contract
next
slide.
The
goals
of
that
is
to
sustainably
fund
our
operations
and
Capital
Improvements,
improve
equity
and
affordability,
we'll
have
information
opportunities
with
a
public
Outreach
committee,
Council
discussions,
presentations
coming
public
meetings
and
a
project
microsite
and
press
releases
quick
overview
of
that
next
slide.
I
I
The
dark
blue
band
is
the
charge
for
water
usage
by
you
know
the
meter,
the
top
part,
the
lighter
blue,
is
a
fixed
cost
monthly
fixed
cost.
I
This
is
based
on
residential
consumption
of
600
cubic
feet
or
just
under
5,
000
gallons,
and
you
can
see
from
the
red
line
that
we
are
in
the
lower
tier
of
communities
in
Central
Illinois,
the
notes
of
the
bottom
a
little
hard
to
read,
but
this
includes
champagne
or
banded
Annabelle
Decatur,
normal
Peoria,
Rockford,
Springfield,
Washington,
Morton,
East
Peoria
peak
in
Quincy,
Rock,
Island
and
Galesburg,
but
you
can
see
that
our
our
rates
are
among
the
lower
of
of
the
neighboring
communities.
Next
slide.
I
Another
graph
that
shows
this
is
a
study
that
was
done
by
Burns
and
Clancy
and
Associates,
and
they
surveyed
115
communities
in
Central
Illinois.
The
labels
on
this
don't
include
all
the
bars
on
the
line,
but
once
again
you
can
see
where
Bloomington
Falls
within
that
group
and-
and
we
are
at
that-
lower
tier
of
of
communities.
As
far
as
the
cost.
I
Next
slide,
so
next
steps
in
tentative
time
frames.
What
will
the
council
see
next
next
slide
this
summer,
as
I
mentioned,
we
want
to
bring
back
a
design
contract
to
continue
with
the
system-wide
portable
water
distribution
improvements.
I
Also,
this
summer
we
want
to
get
a
consultant
involved
to
help
us
finish
out
the
inventory
and
develop
help
us
with
the
development
of
the
lead
service
line
program
which
all
that
is
due
next
April
15th,
the
24th
we're
also
looking
towards
the
summer
or
fall
of
23
for
a
presentation
and
additional
information
on
our
rate
study,
that's
ongoing
and
then
towards
the
fall
in
the
winter
of
this
year,
a
Construction
contract
for
Meadowbrook
Subdivision.
Many
of
you
remember
that
we
have
a
design
consultant
involved.
I
This
is
a
project,
that's
been
in
the
works
for
several
years
and
the
Meadowbrook
Subdivision,
which
is
down
you
know,
north
of
Lafayette
and
basically
east
of
Morrissey.
That
subdivision
has
had
infrastructure
needs
both
with.
D
I
Know

and
curb
and
roads,
but
also
the
water
main
there
is
in
a
serious
need
of
replacement.
So
obviously
we
want
to
get
the
underground
stuff
under
contract
first
and
then
you
know
finish
with
repairing
the
infrastructure
above
and
we
want
to
bring
a
contract,
get
it
out
for
Ben
and
bring
a
contract
for
award
this
fall
or
winter,
and
so
those
are
kind
of
the
next
next
steps
that
the
council
will
be
seeing
as
we
continue
to
move
this
process
forward
so
next
slide.
H
Kevin
I
guess
to
the
community.
Council
knows
this
already,
with
just
sort
of
the
Preparatory
conversations
that
we've
had
I'm
excited.
I
I
do
truly
get
excited
about
this
kind
of
stuff.
When
we
talk
about
our
water
utility,
our
water
infrastructure,
there
are
many
communities
across
United
States
that
would
truly
kill
to
have
what
we
have
as
a
resource
in
this
community,
and
it's
been
managed
extremely
well
over
the
150
years,
nearly
150
years,
that
we've
had
this
as
a
water
resource.
H
I
wanted
to
jump
into
Kevin's
presentation
a
few
times
and
just
say
you
know,
put
a
pin
in
this
we're
going
to
be
talking
more
about
this,
but
there
are
so
many
conversations
that
are
going
to
occur
throughout
the
remainder
of
this
year
and
they
are
big
conversations.
You
know
I'm
going
to
say
what
I've
said
before
about
this
Council.
H
That's
seated,
you
know
this
is
probably
the
top
of
the
list
when
we
talk
about
some
of
the
the
very
important,
not
necessarily
a
tough
decision,
because
that
we
we
hope
to
be
able
to
present
the
council.
You
know
know
the
whys
in
all
of
this
and
that
the
need
to
improve
our
water
infrastructure,
but
it's
going
to
be
tough,
because
this
is
going
to
cost
the
community
quite
a
bit
and
we'll
get
into
those
numbers
in
the
the
very
near
future.
But
it's
an
exciting
conversation.
H
I'll
shift
just
slightly
before
we
turn
this
Council
we've
hired
a
lobbyist,
you
know
so
earmarks
was
the
very
first
thing
that
we
looked
at
and
knew
that
we
were
going
to
be
shifting
to
this
conversation
and
the
deputy
city
managers
have
already
started
those
conversations
with
the
lobbyists
where
we're
looking
at
what
kind
of
Grants
what
kind
of
low
interest
rate
loans.
H
What
kind
of
loans
might
have
a
forgivable
component
to
them,
because
this
is
going
to
be
quite
costly,
but
we
will
put
Council
on
firm
ground
and
then
educate
the
community
as
best
we
can
in
many
many
talking
sessions
that
will
be
coming
up,
and
you
know
truly.
This
was
that
kickoff
conversation,
even
though
quite
a
bit
of
work
has
been
occurring
since
2019,
2020,
different
components,
I
think
68
or
already
completed
or
in
play
up
to
this
point.
So
this
this
is
a
big
deal
for
the
community.
Thanks
Kevin
mayor.
J
Well,
thank
you
so
much,
and
you
really
are
a
scholar
and
a
historian
on
this
topic
reminded
of
the
time
I
spent
with
you
looking
at
The
Archives,
and
it
was
wonderful.
So
thank
you
for
that.
So
the
rate
structure
I
know
you.
You
mentioned
that
the
water
rates
haven't
increased
since
2012.
J
I'm
curious
what
the
average
water
bill
was
in
2012
and
if
the
consumer
here,
the
resident
here,
would
feel
an
increase,
so
what
the
average
water
bill
would
have
been
in
2012
and
what
the
average
water
bill
is
today.
I
So
I
I
don't
have
that
in
front
of
me
right
now
as
far
as
the
water
bill
component,
but
we
haven't
had
the
rate
increase
so
assuming
that
they're
using
the
same
amount,
the
the
water
component
of
the
bill
would
be
the
same,
but
the
city
of
Bloomington
utility
bill
includes
more
than
just
water
on
it.
So
you
know
we
have
on
there.
You
know
for
refuse
charges.
You
know
garbage.
We
also
have
the
sewer
sanitary
sewer.
I
We
also
have
a
bin
word
charge
right,
so
the
city
charge
for
sewer
is
for
us
to
maintain
our
sewer
system
with
the
Bloomington
normal
Water
Reclamation
District
charges
for
treatment
of
the
sewage.
That's
a
separate
charge.
We
do
collect
it
on
our
utility
bill,
but
that's
turned
over
directly
to
the
Sanitary
District,
and
then
we
have
the
stormwater
charge,
which
is
a
another
charge.
That's
assessed
for
storm
water,
runoff
and
maintaining
our
storm
sewer
system.
So
all
those
other
fees
on
that
utility
bill
have
increased.
I
J
I
think
it
would
be
very
helpful
for
me
to
see
the
rate
structure
in
the
context
of
all
of
those
other
things
that
are
included
when
people
get
the
bills.
I
I
know
there's
a
perception
of
increase,
and
you
know
that
certainly
explains
it.
So
as
we
think
about
messaging,
when
we
talk
about
this
in
isolation,
I
think
it
could
be
misconstrued
when
the
consumer,
the
residents
here,
are
seeing
this
in
the
context
of
all
of
those
other
fees
and
things
that
are
related
to
Water
Management
yeah.
A
Okay,
so
one
quick
question
I
have
for
you
Kevin
it
just
in
terms
of
I
know.
We
make
a
lot
of
decisions.
You
know
at
Council
about
growth
and
economic
development,
and
things
like
that.
So
what
do
you
see
in
the
future
in
terms
of
our
water
capacity?
Are
we
okay?
Do
we
need
to
add
more
water,
have
a
not
a
water
source
or
I
know.
That's
been
part
of
the
conversation
in
the
past.
I
Yeah,
it
has
been
part
of
the
conversation
in
the
past
and
we
we
continue
to
look
for
the
future.
In
terms
of
you
know,
water
supply
and
what
might
be
needed,
there's
been
some
some
test,
Wells
that
have
been
placed
up
by
Lake
Bloomington
to
see
what
type
of
well
production
might
be
able
to
supplement
up
at
Lake
Bloomington,
there's
some
some
different
issues
that
have
come
up
with
those
Wells.
I
We
have
not
pursued
development
of
that
at
this
point,
as
as
far
as
right
now,
we've
been
doing
doing
well
with
our
water
supplies.
Last
year
we
were
kind
of
in
a
drought
situation
where,
between
the
two
Lakes
We
got
down
below
eight
feet
below
you
know
their
normal
pool
elevation,
which
at
that
point
are
our
permit
for
the
Mackinac
pumping
pool
allows
us.
I
Then
we
have,
to
you
know,
apply
to
the
the
state
and
and
Corps
of
Engineers
to
be
able
to
activate
and
start
using
the
pumping
pool,
but
we
actually
did
use
it
again
last
year,
because
our
Lakes
got
sufficiently
low.
We
were
able
to
pump
quite
a
bit
out
of
the
Mackinac
River
and
and
supplement
our
water
supply
at
Evergreen
Lake
over
the
course
of
the
winter.
I
Our
Lakes
traditionally
fill
up
and
they
did
again
this
year
because,
obviously,
when,
when
the
ground
is
Frozen,
everything
runs
off
and
comes
to
our
Lake
during
this
time
of
year.
If
it
rains
and
it's
so
dry
chances
are
it's
going
to
be
all
you
know,
absorbed
by
the
all
the
Farmland
that
contributes
to
our
lake,
so
we
won't
get
as
much
runoff.
Obviously,
if
we
get
some
rain
right
now,
our
Lakes
are
down
a
little
bit.
Evergreen
is
really
we
haven't
been
pumping
out
of
it.
I
That
much
Bloomington
is
down
a
little
bit
right
now,
but
we've
been
we've
been
doing
well
with
our
water
supply
and
then,
as
far
as
our
you
know,
treatment
capacity
at
11
million
gallons
a
day
we
we
potentially
have
more
than
double
that
available
at
our
plant
to
produce
finished
water,
so
always
monitoring
and
keeping
an
eye
on
those
things
and
the
water
master
plan.
Has
you
know
some
some
things
in
there,
but
but
right
now,
as
far
as
our
water
supply
and
treatment,
we're
in
pretty
good
shape.
K
I
just
had
a
quick
comment
to
say:
one
I
appreciate
this
and
I
look
forward
to
having
these
discussions.
K
Those
who
may
know
I
came
from
the
from
Pekin
when
I
grew
up
and
I
was
on
the
Pekin
city
council
there
and
we
had
a
private
water
system
and
it
really
tied
our
hands,
often
when
we
had
issues
from
constituents
and
others
who
would
come
forward
and
need
issue
or
need
help
with
different
water
issues
and
as
somebody
who
sees
water
as
a
public,
good
I
appreciate
that
we
as
Bloomington,
have
a
public
water
system
and
are
able
to
have
these
conversations,
and
that
also
puts
the
responsibility
on
us
to
make
these
tough
decisions,
but
I'm
thankful
that
we
get
to
make
those
decisions.
F
A
I
A
Okay,
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
council
member
initiatives
and
a
discussion
on
council
member
Awards
and
agenda
initiative
proposal
to
create
a
special
Commission
to
develop
a
comprehensive
plan
to
address
the
issue
of
gun
violence,
as
requested
by
the
city,
clerk,
Department
and
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
city
manager.
Gleason.
For
some
introductory
remarks,.
H
Very
brief
comments,
mayor
and
Council
as
the
floor
belongs
to
alderwoman
Ward
on
this.
This
was
a
council
initiative
that
was
first
brought
forward,
would
have
been
February
Committee
of
the
whole
2022,
and
it
has
had
varying
types
of
conversations,
and
we
are
going
to
hear
and
look
at
what
the
next
steps
for
staff
are
Molly.
L
L
These
data
are
scattered
through
various
websites
through
various
groups
throughout
the
community
they
exist.
This
is
correct,
but
these
data
are
scattered
in
such
a
way
that
they
can't
usefully
help
us
to
understand
what
the
patterns
are.
For
example,
suicide
figures
don't
appear
on
the
Bloomington
crime
map,
nor
are
they
formally
tracked
by
the
Bloomington
Police
Department.
L
L
Another
thing
that
this
commission
would
do
that
isn't
already
being
done
is
to
make
comprehensive
recommendations
based
on
those
patterns
so
that
we
can
set
targets
again,
for
example,
the
gun
safe
giveaway
that
we
had
at
the
farmer's
market,
using
the
the
grant
money
from
the
state
was
wildly
popular
and
based
on
the
after-event
inquiries.
We
easily
could
have
given
away
probably
twice
as
many
safes
from
what
I've
Been
Told
so
had
we
done
this
kind
of
study
ahead
of
time.
We
might
have
known
that
and
been
able
to
Target
our
efforts.
L
Well,
for
one
reason,
gun
violence
does
not
just
stem
from
one
source.
So
it's
not
reasonable
to
expect
any
one
group
to
have
all
of
the
answers
or
to
be
the
expert
on
all
things.
For
example,
again:
suicide,
which
is
not
a
crime
accounts
for
a
significant
number
of
gun
deaths,
but
not
all
instances
of
gun
violence
are
related
to
Suicide
or
mental
illness.
L
Another
question:
that's
come
up.
What
would
this
commission
look
like
I've
created
a
template?
It's
been
circulated
among
the
community
and
and
among
council
members
based
on
the
work
that
other
City
work
groups
do.
The
template
is
very
simple,
similar
to
those
models.
It's
been
vetted
by
various
stakeholders
and
it's
out
there
another
question:
why
do
we
have
to
call
this
a
special
Commission?
L
L
This
commission
would
be
made
up
of
Representatives
of
a
variety
of
stakeholder
groups,
ideally
including
gun
owners.
The
gun,
safe
giveaway,
is
a
great
example
of
one
recommendation
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
taking
away
guns.
It's
simply
about
allowing
gun
owners
to
have
a
safe
way
to
store
their
weapons.
L
L
A
M
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
councilmember
ward,
for
that
introduction.
You
know
I
support.
This
commission
I
think
it's
something
that
would
benefit
this
community.
One
thing
I'd
love
to
hear
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
you
know.
I
worry
sometimes
about
what
I'm
just
going
to
say
the
process
of
commissions.
M
It
takes
a
while
to
form
them
to
get
them
in
place
for
them
to.
You
know,
decide
on
what
their
priorities
are
and
I
wonder
how
you
would
feel
about
setting
a
pretty
strict
timeline
for
this
commission
so
that,
as
a
council,
we
have
some
expectations,
perhaps
there's
some
reporting
of
how
things
are
going
along
the
way.
So
it's
not
just
something
that
you
know
we
say
go,
go
form
this
and
then
not
have
any
accountability
or
a
sense
of
what's
going
on.
You
would
comment
on
that.
L
L
L
That's
the
reference
I've
always
heard
them
make.
One
thing
that
I
will
say
is
that
I've
recently
seen
a
plan
that
has
come
out
of
champagne.
I
believe
it
is.
That
has
been
very
concrete
and
specific
and
comprehensive
saying
these
are
our
goals
for
reducing
gun
violence
here
and
that
I
think
would
came
out
in
February
I
believe
it
was
so
I,
don't
know
what
the
results
are.
I,
don't
think
it's
they've
had
a
chance
yet
to
to
show
what
the
results
are.
J
What
do
you
think
did
not
lead
them
to
perhaps
get
the
results?
They
were
hoping
for.
L
J
And
then,
just
following
up
on
the
collecting
scattered
data
in
the
in
this
community,
I'm
I'm
just
interested
in
understanding
what
the
uniqueness
of
the
data
would
be
in
our
community
and
because
we
are
blessed
with
I
I
agree
wholeheartedly.
One
is
too
many,
but
our
numbers
are
pretty
low,
so
we
would
be
talking
about
qualitatively
analyzing
this
data
I'm
just
curious.
J
If
you
could
share
more
about
how
you
think
that
data
would
be
leveraged
uniquely
such
that
Bloomington
alone
would
need
their
own
commission
I
recall
from
the
prior
discussion
and
had
notes
about
the
dialogue
that
perhaps
this
could
be
more
Regional
but
but
I
know
we
landed
with
it
being
just
within
the
boundaries
of
Bloomington.
So
I'm
just
trying
to
to
understand
the
context
of
that
yeah.
L
L
We
don't
know,
that's
the
point,
because
I
would
like
to
be
good
stewards
of
our
resources
and,
frankly,
would
like
to
be
responsible,
Council
city
council
members,
in
the
way
that
we
address
this
and
not
just
throw
spaghetti
at
the
wall
and
see
what
sticks,
but
rather
to
to
base
that
on
data
that
we've
got
to
look
at
so
I,
don't
know
the
answer.
That's
why
I'm
calling
for
this
commission
and
I
have
been
told
for
years.
J
And
what
would
you
see
as
outcomes
from
this
I
I
know
you've,
given
the
example
of
the
gun
safe
and
you
know
from
writing
down,
you
know
last
year
the
potential
outcomes
some
of
them
have
already
been
followed
up
on
I
I'm,
just
curious
like
what
would
you
see
as
an
outcome
and
there's
an
assumption
there
too,
that
the
data
that
someone
like,
for
example,
Jack
McQueen,
would
would
have
the
detailed
analytics
that
are
gun,
violence
activities
that
involve
crimes
you're?
You
have
already
evaluated.
L
Again,
the
data
haven't
been
evaluated
on
a
comprehensive
level,
so
I
can't
get
specific
in
that
way.
But
what
I
am
suggesting
is
that
once
we
have
those
data
in
front
of
us,
the
very
people
who
were
would
populate
this
commission
who
are
stakeholders.
People
who
have
some
expertise
could
make
recommendations
based
on
those
data
so
that
we
know
if,
for
instance,
the
vast
I'm
in
it
and
again
I'm
pulling
this
out
of
the
air.
L
I
I
don't
know,
but
if
we
were
to
find
that
the
vast
majority
of
of
instances
of
gun
violence
are
related
to
say
suicide,
then
when
we
do
have
an
opportunity
for
a
grant,
we
could
we
could
put
our
resources
toward
that.
If
we
find
that
no,
actually
it's
related
to
youth
issues,
we
can
put
it
toward
that
and
so
forth,
and
and
divide
our
resources
proportionally
based
on
on
data
rather
than
let's
try
this.
Let's
try
that
and
maybe
it
works.
L
Maybe
it
doesn't
the
the
instance
of
the
the
gun
safes
that
I
was
suggesting.
Is
that
if
we
discover
you
know
the
reason
why
we
have
have
X
number
of
of
instances
of
gun?
Violence
is
because
they're
they're
related
to
stolen
or
lost
weapons
or
children
having
access
to
weapons
that
that
they
found
around
the
house,
then
maybe
we
do
twice
as
many
gun,
safes
and
fewer
other
things
or
or
we
put
our
our
resources
proportionately
more
toward
that.
J
J
You
know
we
have
the
crime
statistics
and
again,
fortunately,
the
stories
of
each
of
those,
because
the
numbers
are
so
small
are
known
to
us,
so
that
is
an
existing
Source
already
so
I'm
just
thinking
about
like
what
would
be
the
unique
primary
research
that
would
be
additive
to
that
versus.
You
know,
just
you
know
having
an
individual
even
who
I
understand
you
know.
J
Maybe
there
there
are
folks
here
at
the
University
who
have
an
interest
in
this
may
already
be
looking
at
or
could
simply
look
at
as
a
specific
assignment,
as
opposed
to
taking
up
staff
time
at
a
fully
loaded,
labor
rate
hour,
open
meetings
act
going
through
all
the
foia
training,
everything
else
that
would
be
layering
on
and
taking
taxpayer
resources
in
support
of,
if
there's
an
easier,
better,
faster
way
to
get
to
the
answers
to
your
question
is
a
commission?
The
solution
for
it.
L
Again,
I
think
those
data
are
scattered
and
I
think
that
that,
at
this
point
we
need
some
mechanism
to
pull
them
together.
We
haven't
done
that
yet,
and
this
would
be
a
mechanism
to
pull
them
together
and
have
the
stakeholders
who
have
the
expertise
not
just
to
analyze
data
but
to
make
recommendations
about
how
to
use
those
data
and
then
bring
those
recommendations
to
us
as
a
council.
A
N
The
tools
yeah
so
I
I,
want
to
just
make
a
couple
comments.
One
alderperson
Ward
is
is
absolutely
correct.
One
is
too
many
and
I
think
if
we
look
at
all
of
our
goals
up
here,
we
all
would
love
to
see
a
community
where
we
take
the
right
actions
to
reduce
the
amount
of
gun
violence
down
to
zero,
including
suicide.
We
all
want
to
see
that
in
the
idea
of
pulling
all
these
different
stakeholders
together
to
assess
the
data,
I
think
that's
a
great
idea.
N
I
sit
on
the
criminal
justice
committee
and
I
mentioned
that
carefully,
because
I
know,
we've
mentioned
very
truthfully
that
the
suicide
piece
is
not
criminal,
but
all
the
people
that
sit
in
that
room
and
the
criminal
justice
coordination.
Council
meetings
you've
got
the
parole
board.
You've
got
the
mental
health
people.
You've
got
the
junior
Juvenile
Justice
committee.
You've
got
path.
N
You've
got
all
of
these
organizations
that
are
the
right
people
to
hit
every
angle
of
this
already
talking,
and
you
have
Dr
Beck
and
his
team
from
ISU
and
the
Stevenson
Center,
as
well
as
other
contributors
from
outside
universities
that
are
also
funneling
data
in
I.
Believe
we
can
use
those
efforts.
Maybe
it's
a
request
to
that,
to
judge
Costigan
to
say:
hey.
N
Can
you
look
at
this
from
this
angle
in
your
next
Focus
right
now,
they're
looking
at
recidivism
as
a
way
to
reducing
recidivism
and
and
using
that
to
reduce
violence
and
reduce,
improve
the
the
lives
of
those
that
have
committed
the
crimes
and
hopefully
keep
them
from
going
back
down
that
path,
but
I
think
that
using
that
vehicle
somehow
probably
gets
us
to
the
results
that
other
person
Ward
is
pushing
and
that
I
think
we
all
want
faster.
That's
just
my
opinion.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
Hendricks.
This.
K
May
be
redundant
because
I
feel,
like
we've,
walked
around
a
little
bit,
but
I
was
going
to
ask
related
to
the
makeup
of
the
committee
like
who,
maybe
not
specifics
as
to
who
do
you
see,
but
but
what
sort
of
background?
What
do
you
think
you
know
what
would
be
valuable
to
the
committee
of
those
who
served
on
it.
L
Yeah
I
think
that
that
many
of
the
them
have
already
been
named.
The
groups
that
would
be
drawn
from
I
would
see
this
commission
or
task
force
whatever
we
want
to
call
it
not
necessarily
made
up
of
individuals
so
much
as
made
up
of
Representatives
of
of
various
stakeholders
with
some
expertise
on
the
issue,
and
so
they
would
put
forward
names
that
that
deal
with
this
more
than
just
from
one
through
one
lens
and
I.
L
Think
that
also
gets
at
the
idea
that
the
councilman
Becker
was
just
getting
at
the
commissions
that
already
exist
are
busy.
They've
got
other
things
going
on.
That
doesn't
mean
they
don't
have
expertise.
I
would
definitely
want
to
draw
from
that
expertise,
but
the
priority
of
this
commission
right
now,
not
the
next
focus
at
some
unknown
time,
would
be
on
this
particular
issue.
A
G
Yeah
I'm
one
of
those
people.
That
said
it
should
go
to
the
criminal
justice
coordinating
Council
on
the
behavioral
health,
coordinating
Council.
G
G
The
mission
statement
for
the
criminal
justice
coordinating
council
is
to
Foster
collaboration,
communication
between
the
criminal
justice
agencies
and
partners,
who
educate,
inform
and
explore
best
practices.
Its
charge
is
to
provide
fair
and
just
outcomes,
improve
Public,
Safety,
reduced
recidivism
and
responsibly
use
resources
for
the
benefit
of
McCain
County
residents.
G
Again
I
question:
you
know
when
we're
talking
about
use
of
resources,
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
funding
and
where
the
funding
would
come.
All
these
different
initiatives
from
these
groups
have
to
rely
on
grants,
so
you
know
it
would
be
the
same
as
what
was
presented,
but
these
groups
facility
can
facilitate
Community
collaboration
and
it's
between
service
providers,
Social
Services,
major
organizations,
including
the
NAACP
project,
Oz
YWCA,
Labyrinth,
Center
for
Youth
and
Family
Services
and
I
can
go
on
and
on.
G
You
can
go
to
the
the
McLean
County
city
or
McLean
County
web
page
for
membership
meeting
minutes.
All
the
Strategic
plans
that
these
groups
use
and
it
is
Data
driven
all
the
all.
The
information
comes
from
ISU,
Stevenson,
Center
and
actually
from
loyal
University
up
in
Chicago
criminal
justice
department.
So
there
is
a
out
information
out
there
and
it's.
It
would
be
no
effort
at
all
for
The
Graduate
students
under
Dr
Beck.
To
do
this
work
they're
happy
to
do
it.
G
They
love
doing
it,
that's
how
they
get
their
graduate
degree,
but
anyway,
the
models
that
are
being
used
also
they're.
G
G
The
police
department
has
a
strategic
plan.
They
are
working
on
their
goals.
Constantly
I
see
this
Bloomington
gun
violence,
commission
initiative
as
creating
a
silo.
We
don't
need
to
create
another
style
law.
I,
see
it
as
duplication
of
efforts
that
can
actually
be
counterproductive.
G
L
A
So
I
think
at
this
point
this
is
for
a
discussion
only
and
I
think
we
we
want
to
sort
of
try
to
get
a
consensus
or
whether
or
not
to
to
move
this
forward
right.
Okay.
B
So
if
I
could
the
item
already
came
before
Cal
and
the
majority
of
council
decided
to
move
it
forward?
It
was
a
5-4
vote.
I
was
just
looking
at
the
minutes,
and
so
tonight
it
would
just
be
the
consensus
as
to
whether
we
should
bring
something
back
to
move
forward.
J
Just
make
one
additional
comment:
sure
I'm
in
preparing
for
this
meeting
and
and
truly
looking
to
try
and
understand
this
from
why
this
would
be
helpful
and
starting
from
that
point,
I
mean
looking
at
across
the
layers
of
government
in
the
U.S
from
you
know,
the
the
federal
and
Department
of
Justice
and
groups
like
this
that
have
existed
in
so
many
places
across
this
country.
J
What
I
wasn't
able
to
find
I
was
able
to
find
lots
of
plans.
You
know
developing
comprehensive
plans
and
identifying
tactics
and
things
like
that,
similar
to
what
has
been
taking
place.
A
commitment
to
community
policing,
gun
safes
Etc,
but
I
have
not
found
any
where
the
local,
Commission,
State,
commission
or
federal
commission
moved
the
needle
on
the
outcomes.
That's
my
concern
with
investing
the
time
for
another
commission
I
think
we
should
leverage
the
groups
that
we
already
have.
A
A
A
All
right,
yeah,
let's
go
around
Robin
we're
going
to
start
with
Ward
once
it
I'd
like
to
hear
more
or
not.
E
A
H
Where
I
was
headed
next
council
meeting
next
Monday
and
then
we'll
follow
the
pathway
of
the
council
initiative
that
alderwoman
Ward
presented.
Okay.
H
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
and
Council
I
think
I
have
five
slides,
correct
Catherine
got
it.
We
do
have
some
new
hires.
We
have
current,
that's
multi-disciplinary
inspector
for
ecd
Lynn
benefits
coordinator
for
H.R,
Scott
support
staff
and
finance
and
Dexter
is
a
laborer
with
public
works.
Next
slide.
H
Additional
new
hires
Greg
business
manager
for
arts
and
entertainment.
Aaron
is
a
laborer
for
parks
and
rec.
Hannah
is
a
new
Public,
Safety,
dispatcher
and
Alex.
Is
a
fleet
equipment
technician
slide.
Three
additional
Whitney
with
the
police
department
Esteban
with
the
police
department.
Lucas
is
a
new
hire
with
the
police
department.
Alexis
entry-level,
police
officer
and
Derek
is
also
an
ad
to
the
police
officer
or
I'm
sorry
to
the
police
department.
H
Next
slide
free
lunchtime,
concerts,
Withers
park,
downtown
Bloomington,
June,
21st
and
that'll
be
Wednesday,
and
then
the
following
Wednesday
11,
30
to
1.,
typically
very
well
attended
next
slide
family
float
night
at
holiday,
pool
we'll
be
I'm
gonna
get
sidetracked.
Real
quick
can't
wait
for
the
float
night
at
O'neill
pool,
but
this
will
have
to
suffice
for
this
year.
June
23rd
five
to
six
thirty
and
I
believe
that
would
be
this
Friday
was
that
it
Catherine
a
couple
of
additional
comments.
H
Real
quick,
tailgates
and
tall
boys
was
this
past
week
and
would
like
to
report
just
some
of
the
public
safety
numbers.
No
arrests
were
made,
you
know
from
the
police
department
and
then
on
the
the
fire
side.
They
saw
17
patients
transported
10
from
the
grounds
over
the
course
of
four
days
this,
compared
to
last
year,
44
patients
29
were
transported
over
three
days.
Weather
could
have
played
into
this
as
Chief
West
shared.
So
very
good.
H
You
know,
don't
know
what
the
total
numbers
are
yet,
but
we'll
be
reporting
back
on
that
as
well,
but
from
a
public
safety
standpoint.
I
went
extremely
well
over
the
course,
the
four
days
and
then
an
update
on
the
conversation.
Last
week
on
the
project
labor
agreement,
it
was
attached
to
The
Coachman
development,
but
my
pledge
to
the
community
on
the
project
labor
agreement
and
prevailing
wage
conversation.
H
The
next
steps
that
I
set
in
motion
is
finalizing
a
survey
that's
going
to
go
to
the
business
and
developer
community
and
also
to
the
individual
laborers
and
their
business
agents,
so
definitely
more
to
come,
but
I
wanted
to
share
that
with
Council
and
the
community.
Thank
you.
