Our
community
based
aid
systems
are
currently
overwhelmed
and
with
the
resources
we
have
set
aside
for
our
emergency
fund,
I
see
no
reason
why
we
should
not
be
dating
them
and,
if
any
way
possible
to
make
sure
the
people
in
our
community
are
reduced,
at
least
in
the
impact
of
this
crisis,
so
I
will
yield.
The
remainder
was
my
time
and
thank
the
council
for
it.
G
Yeah
good
evening,
thank
you,
Bloomington
City
Council,
for
the
work
that
you've
been
doing.
My
name
is
Reverend.
Dr.,
blacken,
passed
away.
'men,
African,
Methodist,
Episcopal
Church
here
in
town,
is
the
oldest
african-american
congregation
in
McClain
County
and
I'm,
calling
to
cleave
with
the
blitt
Bloomington
City
Council.
To
use
the
available
emergency
funds
to
mitigate
the
financial
harm
caused
by
kovat.
G
Because
of
the
way
the
government
has
set
up
the
stimulus
payments,
and
so
we're
asking
that
the
city
of
Bloomington
would
provide
direct
financial
relief
to
these
individuals
and
we're
asking
that
it
would
be
put
on
the
agenda.
A
April
27th
also
they're,
those
that
are
applied
for
unemployment,
and
it
takes
time
for
that
to
happen.
People
are
hungry,
people
need
to
pay
for
the
housing,
people
need
money
now,
and
so
we're
asking
for
you
to.
Please
put
this
on
the
agenda
for
April
27.
Thank
you.
H
H
73%
of
American
workers
do
not
have
paid
sick
leave
without
paid
sick
leaves.
Civilizations,
efforts
to
flatten
the
curve
will
take
much
longer,
just
estimating
I
figure.
The
current
stay-at-home
order
is
probably
going
until
at
least
June
because
of
the
incompetence
of
the
federal
government.
I
also
predict
that
the
next
year
or
two
we're
going
to
have
rolling
kovat
19
pandemics
as
the
novel
coronavirus
repeats
and
adapts
frustrating
efforts
at
a
vaccine.
H
Therefore,
the
city
needs
to
set
up
the
infrastructure
to
handle
these
repeated
shocks
to
society
and
paid
sick
leave
as
a
mess
is
a
necessity
in
managing
the
pandemic.
Well,
I
know
the
city
cannot
mandate
that
employers
not
contracted
with
the
city
require
paid
sick
leave.
It
could
easily
pass
a
resolution
calling
on
the
state
legislature
to
pass
an
emergency
measure
requiring
this
at
all.
Restaurants,
excluding
you
know
the
actual
small
businesses
who
truly
cannot
afford
it.
H
However,
the
large
chain-
restaurants,
absolutely
can't
afford
it,
and
during
the
pandemic,
we
absolutely
need
paid
sick
leave
for
all
these
essential
workers
and
not
just
paid
sick
leave
for
kovin
19.
But
all
the
maladies
of
the
body
that
could
be
communicable
not
having
paid
sick
leave
is
lengthening
the
first
wave
of
this
crisis
and
will
help
lead
to
repeating
waves
of
massive
infections.
Currently
in
McClain
County,
the
following
restaurants
are
not
providing
paid
sick
leave
to
their
employees.
H
Mcdonald's
subway,
Cracker,
Barrel,
taco,
bell/pizza
hut,
KFC,
Domino's,
Pizza,
Dunkin,
Donuts,
Buffalo,
Wild
Wings,
and
the
flute
food
delivery
service
GrubHub,
and
these
are
just
the
ones
I
found
so
far.
At
the
same
time,
I
recognize
that
our
actual
local
restaurants
can't
afford
paid
sick
leave,
even
during
the
best
economic,
so
I
propose
that
some
of
the
direct
aid
money
being
negotiated
be
given
to
our
local
restaurants
like
Lucas
and
Tony's
tacos.
H
Both
of
you
are
doing
an
excellent
job,
cleaning
and
keeping
their
customers
and
employees
healthy
so
that
we
can
help
them
pay
for
paid
sick
leave.
If
their
employees
get
sick
for
whatever
reason
and
need
to
self
isolate,
so
please
pass
these
measures.
It
could
be
the
difference
between
a
three-month
stay
at
home
or
a
six-month
stay
at
home.
Doing
this
would
show
how
essential
these
workers
actually
are,
that
we
put
in
place
measures
to
protect
them,
otherwise
we're
not
treating
these
workers
as
essential
we're
treating
them
as
economic
hostages.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
Can
you
hear
me:
okay,
great,
okay,
yeah,
so
I
just
wanted
to
echo
the
sentiment
of
the
other
concerned
residents
who
have
called
in
I.
Think
that
you
know
right
now.
It's
a
time
that
we
have
to
come
together
and
do
everything
in
our
power
or
whether
that's
as
concerned
residents
and
neighbors
for
those
that
we
live
around
or
in
whatever
capacity
we
serve.
Our
greater
good
in
our
community
and
I.
Think
that
that
means
that
now
more
than
ever,
we
need
leadership
from
our
council.
I
Members
and
I
want
to
commend
everyone
who
continues
to
show
up
and
do
the
work
that
you're
that
you're
doing
as
well
as
the
staff.
That's
supporting
you
in
making
things
happen
and
I
appreciate
all
the
efforts
that
are
being
put
forward,
but
I
think
that,
as
we
look
at
some
of
the
numbers
and
as
they
roll
in
particularly
the
skyrocketing
unemployment
in
our
community,
we
have
to
realize
that
there
is
a
need
that
is
already
facing.
I
Just
on
the
horizon
and
I
think
that
the
idea
that
our
city,
because
of
the
leadership
on
this
council,
has
been
able
to
set
aside
such
a
large
amount
of
money
for
a
rainy
day,
I
think
puts
us
in
a
good
position
to
help
meet
this
moment
and
rise
to
the
occasion
to
put
up
the
funds
necessary
in
order
to
be
able
to
support
our
neighbors
through
these
struggling
times
and
so
I'm
reaching
out
tonight.
In
hopes
that
you'll
hear
the
people
who
I
know
are
contacting
you
and
calling
on
you
to.
A
B
Is
Mariner?
We
actually
had
three
others
that
registered
so
I
just
like
to
read
their
name.
They
did
not
call
in.
We
had
Carla
Bailey,
Smith
and
Cynthia
Carter
and
grace
Golic
that
registered
the
appropriate
way
that
did
not
fall
in
and,
if
I'm,
okay,
to
move
on
to
the
list
of
people
who
email.
Please.
Thank
you
so
just
to
reiterate
our
process,
because
this
is
a
virtual
meeting.
B
We
have
made
it
so
that
you
can
make
public
comment
up
until
15
minutes
before
the
meeting
and
you
are
able
if
you'd
like
to
speak,
live
like
the
individuals
did
today,
you
can
register
by
going
to
City
BLM,
org,
backslash
register
and
choosing
the
meeting
that
you
choose
to
provide
public
comment
and
an
email
is
given
back
to
you
with
the
call
and
information.
The
other
option
is
to
email
comments
over
to
public
comment
at
City,
BLM
or
fifteen
minutes
prior
to
the
meeting.
B
Those

this
particular
meeting
were

Garcia
and
Cecilia
long,
and
what
Cecilia
she
did.
Ask

public
comment,
but
we
do
require

the
registration

Thank
you.
A
Move
to
our
consent
agenda,
which
are
the
only
action
items
for
the
committee
of
the
whole
and,
of
course
these.
The
first
involves
consideration
and
action
to
approve
the
committee
of
the
whole
minutes
from
February
20th.
Excuse
me:
February
17
2020,
as
requested
by
the
clerk's
office
and
I'm,
going
to
go
ahead
and
look
ask
for
a
motion
to
lump
that
together
with
item
4b
consideration
and
action
approve
the
committee
to
hold
minutes
from
March
16
2020,
as
requested
by
the
City
Court
Department.
A
Is
there
a
second
second
that
could
bite
council
member
I,
think
that
was
getting
there
right,
yep,
okay,
I'm
stuff,
isn't
showing
exactly
on
my
site,
so
I
apologize,
okay,
so
motion
made
by
councilmember
cradles
second
by
councilmember
K
do
and
madam
clerk.
Unless
there
is
a
discussion,
would
you
please
call
the
roll.
J
K
B
L
A
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone
that
that
is
actually
the
only
action
item
that
we
take
this
evening.
We
have
reports
presentations
and
when
we
get
to
automatic
comments,
the
automatic
comment
requests.
We
would
have
three
minutes
to
the
maker
of
or
the
petitioner
and
then
a
total
of
three
minutes
when
we
get
to
that
so
be
prepared.
A
M
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
tonight,
this
presentation
is
from
our
insurance
coverage.
Consultant
Mike
Nugent
there's
been
a
fair
amount
of
staff
prep
for
this
presentation,
also
on
the
line.
If
there
are
staff
follow-up
questions,
we
have
HR
director,
Nicole
Robertson
and
we
also
have
Alex
Rose's
set,
is
on
the
line
as
well.
This
item
is
one
that
we'll
have
a
quick
turn
around
the
presentation.
You
know
kovin
19
got
in
the
way.
M
We
probably
would
have
done
this
about
three,
maybe
four
weeks
sooner,
but
definitely
wanted
to
have
the
presentation
discuss
the
property
and
liability
insurance
for
the
city.
There
an
increase
this
year
mics
prepared
to
comment
to
that
trend.
It's
not
a
Bloomington
specific
trend.
In
fact,
we
probably
fared
much
better
given
our
past
history
and
how
it's
been
managed
by
Alex
and
have
saved
a
fair
amount
compared
to
other
Illinois
municipalities.
So,
with
that
said,
I'm
going
to
put
put
this
back
on
mute
and
Mike
Nugent
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
you.
Mike.
N
N
Okay,
so
just
the
start,
every
year
we
start
a
renewal
process
for
the
May
first
renewal,
roughly
in
November,
where
we
talk
about
what's
going
on
in
the
insurance
market,
developments
that
have
taken
place
and
what
of
what
a
plan
of
action
will
look
like
whether
that's
an
RFP
or
direct
negotiations
through
our
broker
with
insurers
and
after
the
July
first
renewal
cycle,
I
was
seeing
on
the
municipal
side
much
more
increase
than
I
had
seen
previously.
It
was
primarily
in
the
property,
but
liability
rates
were
beginning
to
check
up.
N
So
we
pushed
the
meeting
up
a
little
bit
just
to
make
sure
we
got
out
of
heaviness
I
met
with
city
staff
in
October,
and
we
talked
about
the
fact
that
the
way
the
market
was
at
that
time,
I
was
expecting
to
see
a
10%
increase,
which
was
very
unusual
since
I've
been
working
with
the
city.
We've
been
in
a
relatively
soft
market.
We've
mostly
brought
in
renewal,
decreases
or
negotiated
flat
terms,
while
increasing
coverage.
So
this
is
a
market
that
is
a
bit
unfamiliar
as
we
got
towards
November
in
December
for
January.
N
First,
municipal
renewals,
the
market
actually
got
significantly
worse,
especially
in
the
excess
liability
lines
of
coverage,
and
so
we
kind
of
stepped
back
talked
to
the
city
about
what
was
next
went
back
to
Gallagher
our
broker,
and
so
what
I'm
seeing
is
somewhere
in
the
30%
range?
They
concurred,
and
so
we
told
them
to
not
to
leave
any
stone
unturned
in
terms
of
finding
some
solutions
to
what
I
was
expecting
was
going
to
be
a
very
awful
renewal.
N
The
background
for
this,
and
you
can
see
it
in
the
presentation
if
you've
had
a
chance
to
read.
It
is
a
couple
of
years
of
really
horrible
property
insurance
results
driven
by
hurricanes
in
2017
and
though
California
wildfires
in
2018.
That
paired
with
on
the
liability
side,
kind
of
the
significant
increase
that
insurers
are
calling
social
inflation
with
these
significant
rewards
that
are
kind
of
out
of
proportion
to
the
damages
that
people
have
suffered.
N
So
the
the
stick-up
has
caught
insurers
to
step
back
in
our
main
insurer
I'm
the
ability
side,
Brit
insurance
company
was
kind
of
the
first
out
of
the
blocks
in
late
October
in
early
November,
indicating
that
they
were
no
longer
gonna
offer
limits
of
ten
million
dollars
to
a
city
like
Bloomington,
and
instead
they
would
offer
something
much
less
and
that's
being
underwritten,
and
it
depends
on
the
specifics
of
an
account
and
again
on
the
liability
side.
Bloomington's
lost
experience
has
been
phenomenal
for
a
city
of
this
size.
N
We
had
one
property
claim
I,
think
you're
all
aware
of
it
last
March,
but
that
shouldn't
really
be
a
driver
but
I'm
the
liability
side.
I
was
really
kind
of
shocked
to
hear
that
the
insurance
sure
was
going
to
pull
back
without
regard
to
the
the
experience
and
the
profitability
they've
had
with
the
city
over
the
last
several
years.
So
from
that
meeting
we
got
Gallagher
out
to
the
market
to
find
alternatives.
N
I'm
gonna,
try
and
get
there
pretty
quickly
here.
Give
me
a
minute,
so
this
is.
These
are
the
results
that
the
expiring
option
is
that
first
column,
the
city
paid
eight
hundred
twenty
seven
thousand
four
hundred
dollars
for
the
current
policy
period,
which
ends
April
thirtieth,
and
then
you
can
see
the
coverages
and
various
deductibles
that
are
in
place.
So
Britt
has
offered
a
renewal,
but
it's
with
less
limits,
so
we
had
to
build
up
to
the
21
million
we
have
with
other
insurers
and
that's
really
where
the
big
cost
increase
has
occurred.
N
If
you
look
at
the
excess
liability
line,
it's
going
from
33,000
up
to
110,000,
roughly
in
addition
to
that,
the
property
deductible
would
would
be
raised
by
a
hundred
thousand
that
is
driven
by
the
fire
for
sure.
Windstorm
and
hail
is
up
by
a
hundred
thousand
and
that's
really
a
Midwest
phenomena
right
now
and
property
insurance.
The
hail
wind
storm
being
tornado
market
is
really
really
difficult
right.
Now,
especially
if
you
have
a
fleet
about
door
vehicles
and
then
the
workers
position,
self-insure
attentions
which
are
deductibles
would
also
increase
in
that
option.
N
National
casualty
has
been
providing
the
CD
excess
workers,
compensation
insurance.
Only
for
over
twenty
years,
they've
been
a
really
good
partner
to
the
city,
and
the
city
has
been
a
great
partner
to
them.
They
have
made
a
lot
of
profit
on
the
city
over
the
years
and
I
think
treated
the
city
fairly
fairly
well,
especially
in
some
difficult
workout
environments
and
about
three
or
four
years
ago.
They
expanded
into
the
liability
market
on
a
very
select
basis,
and
some
of
that
criteria
was
an
existing
relationship
on
the
workshop,
as
well
as
preferred
loss
experience.
N
So
I
was
optimistic
that
there
was
going
to
be
a
good
fit
with
safety
national
and
that
we
would
be
able
to
get
safety
national
in
with
something
under
that
thirty
percent
estimate
that
we
could
put
in
front
of
the
city
in
February,
so
that
option
three
is
a
combination
of
safety
national
on
the
property.
Excuse
me
on
the
liability
and
the
excess
work
half
and
then
the
property
he'd
be
provided
by
travelers.
In
that
case,
the
property
deductible
is
better
than
the
fireman's
bond
option.
N
We
also
have
options
for
and
five
which,
although
from
a
work,
half
deductible
standpoint,
are
pretty
amazing,
quotes
given
what's
going
in
the
workout
market,
the
additional
premium
to
Bloomington
and
the
loss
of
control
of
its
work,
hot
flames,
kind
of
rendered
those
to
a
little
bit
less
of
interest
as
option
three
is
so
when
options
four
and
five,
the
claims
would
actually
be
handled
by
an
insurance
program.
The
Illinois
public
risk
fund.
N
In
that
by
PMA,
who
is
our
current
TPA
and
the
city
would
have
to
pay
PMI
additional
funds
to
handle
all
of
those
open
claims
that
are
that
are
still
hanging
out
there.
So
it's
a
competitive
program,
but
it
is
not
it's
not
the
best
program
when
stacked
up
against
option
three,
in
my
opinion,
so
assuming
that
I
got
concurrence
from
you
all
that
option
three
was
the
route
to
go.
N
We
then
went
back
to
Gallagher
and
negotiated
that
option
three
with
some
additional
deductible
options
so
option
six
increases
the
property
deductible
from
fifty
thousand
to
a
hundred
thousand
and
other
than
the
fire
in
March
of
2019.
The
cities
had
almost
no
activity
in
that
corridor,
so
the
the
additional
savings
offered
by
taking
this
I
think
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
especially
over
the
long
haul,
and
that
option
seven
increases
the
liability
retention
from
one
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
to
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
in
same
scenario.
N
There
there's
a
fair
amount
of
savings
in
the
city,
has
had
almost
no
activity
in
the
corridor
between
one
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
and
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
so
option
eight,
which
is
my
recommended
option,
and
it's
the
total
that
the
mayor
mentioned
at
the
beginning
of
this
item.
It's
a
16
percent
increase
and
that
is
a
combination
of
option.
Six
and
seven
I'm
happy
answer
any
any
questions.
A
O
Bray
hi,
yes,
thank
you
question
or
just
I
guess
perspective.
When
we
look
at
the
changes
with
the
work
comp
that
we'll
be
facing,
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
I?
Think
the
other
screen
you
had
up
showed
that
our
current
self
retentions
slash
deductible
I?
Guess
it's
more
of
a
self
retention
was
300,000,
but
in
the
new
option
will
go
to
600,000.
N
O
N
It's
not
sorry,
it's
not
600,000.
Now
we
had
an
option
for
the
for
the
300,000
as
an
option,
but
currently
split
between
police
and
fire
and
purpley
it's
in
fire.
It's
400
excuse
me
it's
550
thousand
and
for
all
other
employees
that
are
mostly
Public
Works
claims
it's
450,000,
so
the
increase
in
option
three
is
fifty
thousand
four
for
all
types
of
planes.
N
O
Thank
thank
you
for
that.
So
now,
I'd
like
to
go
look
at
some
of
the
other
deductibles
and
software
tensions
that
are
increased
because,
as
we
you
know,
I
could
like
kind
of
walk
through
this,
so
that
we
understand
what
we
may
be
asked
to
come
up
with
some
additional
monies
in
a
coming
year
to
look
after
some
of
these
these
pieces.
So
can
you
kind
of
walk
us
through
a
couple,
so
we
got
the
fifty
thousand
extra
4.com.
Where
are
we
actually.
N
N
And
if
you
had
this
property
claim
in
a
different
market,
it
probably
would
not
have
impacted
either
the
premium
or
the
deductible.
But
given
the
property
claim
happened
last
march,
just
as
the
insurance
market
on
the
property
side
was
beginning
to
tick
up,
we
didn't
get
anybody
interested
in
offering
anything
under
a
hundred
thousand.
So
I
think
it's
wise
to
leverage
that
that
experience
that
you
have
in
take
the
deductible
on
the
property
higher.
Yes,.
N
Okay
and
then
on
the
liability,
your
current,
your
current
deductible
or
self-insured
retention
on
the
liability
side
is
one
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
and
we
have
an
option.
The
option
three
actually
includes
that
same
deductible.
My
suggestion
is
increasing
that
to
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand.
For
the
same
reason,
I
want
to
leverage
the
the
really
excellent
liability
experience
that
the
city
has
had
and
bring
those
premiums
down
even
more
I.
O
Appreciate
your
work
in
this
your
thoughtful
approach
and
I'm
supportive
of
your
option
at
the
same
time,
I
want
a
message
to
my
colleagues
on
the
council
that
you
know
what
these
self
retentions
and
they
just
these
deductibles
mean.
Is
that
when
we
do
have
an
incident,
we
will
have
to
go
into
the
city
coffers
to
come
up
with
our
first,
and
these
amounts
are
now
increasing.
So
we
just
will
just
need
to
factor
that
in
into
some
of
our
decisions.
Thank
you.
L
L
N
A
great
question-
and
you
know
limits
decisions
are
often
made
with
a
dart
board
and
a
dart.
You
know
there
there
tends
not
to
be
a
ton
of
rhyme
or
reason
you
we
can
benchmark.
We've
had
Gallagher
benchmark
that
limit
in
the
past,
but
there's
so
many
variables
that
drive
benchmarking
and
you
don't
know
the
decision-making
that
went
into
someone
else's
limit
that
it's
really
less
valuable
than
then
I
would
like.
N
That's
just
not
going
to
get
us
where
we
need
to
be
today
so
I'm
comfortable
with
with
where
we
are,
but
I
do
have
clients
saying
what
if
we
bought
less
just
this
year
until
the
market
gets
a
little
bit
better
and
I,
think
it's
going
to
be
more
than
a
year
before
the
market,
maybe
ticks
back
down.
I,
don't
think
we'll
see
this
sort
of
percentage
increase,
but
I
think
we'll
definitely
not
see
relief
in
a
year
and
with
Tobin
19
and
the
property
market.
N
There's
just
no,
no,
no
measure
as
to
what
that's
going
to
have
what
effect
that's
going
to
have
on
property
insurers,
so
I'm
comfortable
with
it,
but
I
certainly
understand
these.
The
idea
of
maybe
putting
that
money
in
your
in
your
pocket,
I
have
not
had
anyone
actually
do
that
I've
had
a
lot
of
requests
about
it
and,
in
fact,
given
the
the
environment
in
Illinois,
which
is
considered
as
a
whole,
to
not
be
very
judicial
friendly
to
insurance
buyers,
and
that's
not
just
County,
that's
throughout
the
state.
L
I
appreciate
that
and
I
certainly
think
those
limits
are,
are
appropriate.
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
get
a
little
bit
of
a
background
of
how
you
you
know
how
that
was
determined
on
the
work
comp.
How
does
the
city
do
with
actually
having
enough
claims
to
meet
the
self-insured
retention?
Do
we
have?
Can
you
share
it
a
little
bit
of
history?
On
that
sure.
N
So
that
those
retentions
apply
to
on
an
each
occurrence
basis,
so
individual
accident
and
those
aren't
retention
or
deductibles
that
we
ever
chose
that
was
forced
upon
the
city
over
a
gradual
period
of
time
over
the
last
ten
years.
Ten
years
ago,
I
think
we
were
probably
in
the
$300,000
range,
but
benefits
for
police
and
fire
are
significantly
greater,
and
that
is
really
at
a
point
in
time.
N
It
was
going
to
have
to
be
a
catastrophic
claim,
and-
and
frankly,
this
coverage
is
supposed
to
be
a
catastrophic
coverage
not
in
every
day
coverage,
but
that's
what
they
were
finding
so
that
that
you've
had
great
experience,
though
we
don't
have
I,
think
we
have
when
I
looked
at
the
data
two
claims
in
the
last
ten
years
that
have
hit
safety
nationals
layer,
and
that
was
when
you
had
lower
retention.
So
again,
I
don't
like
those
retentions
per
se,
but
I
wouldn't
pay
more
money
to
get
them
down.
Given
your
experience.
L
N
Don't
and
I
think
you
know:
there's
been
a
lot
of
articles
about
whether
property
insurance
in
the
business
and
eruption
component
of
it
for
cities
and
villages
which
is
called
tax
interruption
insurance
which
you
have
is
actually
triggered
and
because
that's
part
of
a
property
policy.
The
property
policy
requires
property
damage
in
order
for
the
coverage
to
be
triggered,
and
so
your
large
tax
payers
in
town
who
are
not
going
to
pay
it
or
the
income
tax
goes
down
significantly
or
property.
N
Taxes
are
not
collected,
there
isn't
property
damage
per
se
and
the
argument
from
the
insurers
is
even
if
there
was
once
they
cleaned
it
up.
They
didn't
have
property
damage
anymore
and
could
have
reopened,
if
not
for
the
governor's
Proclamation,
so
I
don't
believe
it's
triggered,
but
I've
heard
attorneys
make
arguments
that
you
could
call
this
property
damage
and
I'll
leave
that
to
attorneys.
A
A
A
M
A
M
Right,
I
guess
where
I
start
is
sharing
with
the
community?
More
so
because
we've
had
several
discussions
with
the
elected
officials.
You
know
the
past
couple
of
weeks
prepping
for
tonight.
It
will
eventually
be
an
agenda
item
for
this
Wednesday
two
days
from
now
as
a
special
meeting
to
get
our
budget
for
FY
21
approved
for
the
community,
the
city
of
Bloomington
municipalities
vary,
but
for
the
city
of
Bloomington
we
run
a
fiscal
year.
That's
May
1st
to
April
30th,
so
low
statutorily.
M
We
have
to
adopt
a
budget,
which
is
why
this
is
coming
before
Council
on
Wednesday,
and
then
that
gives
us
a
backup
if
something
should
happen.
The
final
council
meeting
of
April,
which
is
April
27th,
the
conversations
that
we've
had
that
are
pre
Kovan,
is
the
proposed
FY
21
budget,
Kovan
19
has
occurred
and
we've
been
amidst
that
for
the
last
four
or
five
weeks
and
what
we
did
early
on,
knowing
that
we
were
going
to
have
impacts
knew
that
we
had
the
shelter
in
place.
Order
from
Governor
Pritzker
started
tracking.
M
What
the
impacts
might
be,
what
we
were
realizing
at
City
and
actually
stood
up
a
line-item
within
finance
that
we
could
track
what
the
losses
were,
so
that
we
could
potentially
try
to
recoup.
You
know
some
of
these
in
the
form
of
reimbursement,
depending
on
what
the
federal
government
decides.
We're
able
to
seek
reimbursement
for
our
total
budget
is
about
two
hundred
and
thirty
million
dollars.
That's
one
of
the
larger
downstate
budgets
because
we
offer
so
many
additional
services.
We
have
the
utility,
we
have
a
Park
District,
that's
part
of
the
city.
M
We
also
have
a
garbage
collection,
that's
also
part
of
the
city.
So
we
have
a
number
of
things
to
consider
and
I've
said
in
the
past
that
you
know,
while
the
city
is
in
a
good
position,
it's
not
in
a
great
position.
Nor
have
we
ever
commented
that
you
know
we
think
the
financial
impacts
to
Cova
19
aren't
going
to
be
something
that
we
realize.
M
Also
a
quick
comment
about
our
cash
reserves
and
I
talked
about
unobligated
gas
reserves.
The
city
sets
at
right
about
22
million
dollars
in
unobligated
cash
reserves.
The
government
finance
Officers,
Association
GF
away
as
a
recommendation,
the
all
municipalities
throughout
the
United
States
that
you
should
have
two
months
of
cash
reserves,
that's
about
17
percent.
M
So
if
we
take
17%
of
the
22
million,
that's
about
four
million
dollars
and
that
would
leave
us
a
base
of
18
million
dollars
that
we
should
have
you
know
if
we
were
to
use
those
funds,
for
whatever
variety
of
reasons
are
I.
Guess
I
will
give
credit
to
this
council
and
pass
counsels
to
my
predecessor
as
well
that
the
city
is
in
a
decent
position,
because
we've
always
been
preparing
for
Cove
at
19.
M
P
You
Tim
before
I
kind
of
launch
into
the
presentation.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
quick
comment
about
the
previous
presentation
and
and
highlight
you
know:
that's
that's
the
kind
of
review
and
process
we
undertake
here
at
the
city
to
you
know
to
manage
our
costs
a
lot,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
employees,
time,
staff
time.
A
lot
of
dedication
goes
into
making
sure
we
get
the
bang
for
our
buck
here
at
the
city.
I
think
we
have
a
very
good.
E
P
Control
culture
here
and
I
think
that's.
That
was
a
good
example
of
it.
So
having
said
that,
tonight
we're
going
to
be
primarily
focusing
on
the
general
fund
and
the
Cova
19
sex
on
it
will
be
having
a
slide
related
to
enterprise
funds
which
at
this
point
in
time
the
majority
of
those
excluding
golf
and
the
arena
were
assuming
are
not
going
to
be
materially
affected.
So
the
nice
focus
will
be
on
the
effects
of
20
and
then
more
time
spent
on
the
effects
that
we're
projecting
for
21
related
to
Cove
in
nineteen.
P
You
know
big,
a
big
part
of
this
was:
how
do
we
break
down
this
issue
into
components
and
and
really
what
we
arrived
at
was.
It
sounds
somewhat
obvious,
but
we've
got
the
shelter-in-place
order,
which
we
know
is
going
to
have
a
very
material
effect
on
revenues,
and
then
we
assume
there's
going
to
be
a
recessionary
effect
out
through
the
remainder
of
21
but
kind
of
going
down
that
path
and
using
those
assumptions,
that's
how
we
in
finance
did
our
modeling
to
get
a
projection
for
20
and
for
21.
E
P
You
so
we
know
there's
going
to
be
approximately
about
them,
one
and
a
half
months
of
shelter
in
place.
It
started
the
middle
middle
of
March.
It's
gonna
go
through
the
end
of
our
fiscal
year,
April
thirtieth.
So
what
we
did
in
finance.
We
took
the
entire
general
fund,
every
single
account
and
we
applied
assumptions
to
it.
These
assumptions
ranged
you
know
everywhere,
from
50%
reduction
in
per
month
for
sales
taxes
all
the
way
up
to
a
hundred
percent
for
video-gaming.
P
To
give
you
some
other
details,
we
took
a
75%
percent
reduction
on
local
motor
fuel
tax.
Assuming
a
lot
of
the
workforce
is
a
shelter-in-place
90
percent
reduction
on
hotel-motel.
We
closed
many
of
our
programs
in
parks.
The
BC
PA
is
closed,
so
you
know
100
percent
reduction
in
some
of
our
own
programs
and
then,
of
course,
there's
there's
also
some
expense
effect
of
that
as
well
I'm,
just
utilizing
the
B
CPA
as
an
example,
you
know
the
artist
fees
associated
with
that,
so
a
line-by-line
review
was
taken
for
20
just
looking
at
the
shelter-in-place.
P
The
recessionary
effect
is
getting
help
for
my
21
comments
and
go
after
going
through
that
process.
Our
current
projection
is
that
we're
going
to
have
about
a
two
million
dollar
effect
from
koban
19.
So
again,
most
of
that
is
related
to
revenue
reductions
and
we
also
offset
some
of
those
expenses
that
are
being
put
on
hold
until
the
shelter
in
place
is
lifted,
for
example,
parks.
While
we're
moving
forward
with
getting
Cecil's
in
place.
Those
easels
will
not
begin
until
I
begin
getting
paid
until
those
programs
are
open.
P
We
also
had
an
issue
of
the
income
tax
deadline,
getting
extended
everyone's
aware
that
it
got
extended
to
July
15th,
it's
going
to
have
a
tremendous
impact
on
the
state's
budget.
Well,
it's
gonna
have
an
obvious
impact
on
our
budget
as
well
420.
Now,
our
assumption
is
that
most
of
the
revenues
that
we
were
going
to
receive
in
April
were
related
to
2019
calendar
year
income,
so
as
opposed
to
an
overall
revenue
reduction,
we're
kind
of
seeing
that
as
a
revenue,
that's
getting
pushed
out
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
We're
not
I.
P
P
This
slide,
I
should
say
that
February
revenues
have
come
in
they've,
come
in
a
little
bit
better
than
we
assumed
so
we're
hoping
this
is
going
to
be
more
between
2
and
2.7,
but
for
now
being
conservative,
why
don't
we
use
2.7
as
our
net
effect
so
showing
our
fund
balance
roll
forward?
We
began
the
year
at
twenty
two
point:
1
million
before
koban
19
came
up
as
an
issue
for
us.
We
were
projecting
about
a
three
hundred
thousand
dollar,
unplanned
use
of
fund
balance.
P
So
currently
now
we
were
projecting
a
three
million
dollar,
unplanned
use
of
fund
balance.
As
part
of
the
year,
though,
we
had
1.1
million
dollar
and
restricted
fund
balance
used
primarily
related
to
you,
the
BCP,
a
creativity,
center
improvements
and
some
restricted
utility
taxes
that
were
going
to
be
used
for
pension
liabilities.
So
as
our
right
now,
we're
projecting
our
2020
ending
fund
balance
to
be
approximately
between
20
and
21
million.
P
P
We
were
1.3
to
1.5
million
dollars
ahead
of
budget
as
of
the
end
of
January,
and
this
the
strong
economy
for
the
city
and
the
Toronto
results
and
the
cost
controls
that
enabled
us
to
address
strategically
address,
which
the
council
did
the
sickly
buyback
issue
that
was
before
the
city
and
and
that
had
a
1.1
million
to
1.25
million
dollar
impact
on
the
budget.
So
not
only
were
we
still
projecting
in
the
twenty
twenty
fifth
of
the
strong
funding
balance.
We've
also
accomplished
addressing
sick
leave,
I
back
in
put
a
Center
in
a
position.
P
P
P
Now,
before
I
go
into
the
21
modeling,
you
did
for
the
general
fund.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
distinction
between
our
citywide
budget.
It's
230
million
those
what's
mentioned
previously:
general
funds,
110
million,
and
then
the
non
general
fund
is
120
point
1
million
the
the
non-general
fund
includes
enterprise
funds.
I
started
off
the
presentation.
I
did
comment
on
these
enterprise
funds.
We're
not
currently,
assuming
that
they're
going
to
be
materially
affected
by
covin
19.
We
know
there
will
be
some
effects
whether
or
not
consumption
goes
down.
Now
we
looked
at.
P
We
looked
at
some
consumption
from
the
315
to
415
timeframe
from
last
year
this
year
and
consumption,
a
water
consumption
is
actually
up,
so
that's
the
main
make
light
of
it.
But
you
know
people
are
sheltering
place.
They
were
flushing
toilets
at
working
at
schools
that
are
flexing
toilets.
You
know
at
home
now
as
well,
and
then
we
may
have
an
impact
on
delayed
revenues
or
defaults.
P
We're
not
able
to
assess
that
just
yet
there's
kind
of
a
delay
and
that
impact,
but
we're
gonna
be
watching
that
very
closely.
So
I
want
to
highlight
that,
and
just
you
know
outline
that
some
of
the
material
effects
of
the
sheltering
and
the
recession
really
gonna
impact
our
our
tax
revenues,
but
right
now
we're
not
assuming
that
they're
gonna
materially
affect
you,
know:
water,
sewer,
storm,
solid
waste.
P
P
E
P
P
Fy
21
so
I've
kind
of
mentioned.
The
approach
to
this.
How
do
you
model
the
financial
impacts
of
Kovach
421?
We're
looking
into
information
that,
just
like
everyone
else,
you
know
out
on
the
Internet
related
to
economic
impact,
decreases
in
revenues,
etc,
etc.
Some
some
methods
just
apply
to
blank
a
percentage.
We
chose
to
break
it
down
and
to
do
some
scenario,
modeling
based
on
the
combination
of
Sheltering
per
month
with
a
recessionary
tail.
So
you
know
if
their
children
place
gets
lifted.
P
May
first
we'd
have
potential
recession
area
impacts
for
the
remainder
of
the
year
if
it
gets
lifted
on
June
1st
that'd
be
one
month
of
shelter
impact
with
11
months
of
recessionary,
impacts
and
then
obviously
July
1st
would
be
two
months
with
ten
months
of
recessionary
impact.
We
use
the
same
assumptions
for
the
material
impacts
on
revenues
that
we
did
for
twenty.
Those
ranges
again.
P
P
Compare
that
to
the
overall
and
the
broader
economic
impact
during
that
same
time
frame
and
then
also
took
an
article
from
a
rating
agency
that
mentioned
that
a
severe
outlook
for
the
economy
would
wouldn't
is
7%
reduction
in
economic
activity,
so
taking
all
those
together
and
then
adding
a
little
bit
for
for
cushion.
We
came
up
with
eight
and
a
half
percent
for
our
assumed
recessionary
impact
for
the
remainder
of
the
year.
Now
the
model
that
was
built-
it's
it's
the
flexible
model.
We
can
do
whatever
scenarios
we
can.
P
We
can
plug
in
a
different
recessionary
amount.
We
can
build
additional
tabs
for
different
time
frames,
one
to
three
months,
so
wanted
to
come
up
with
something
that
we
could
do.
What,
if
scenarios
and
look
at
all
of
them,
but
from
a
natural
standpoint,
tried
to
come
up
with
something
that
was
conservative,
yet
reasonable,
I
guess,
conservative
and
reasonable.
So
you
can
see
on
the
screen
here
the
results
of
our
modeling,
the
shelter
lifted,
May,
first
recessionary.
P
So,
given
that
information,
you
know
what
what
are
our
action
steps
that
we
can
do
well,
as
we
mentioned,
we
want
to
be
prepared
which
scenarios
to
prepare
for
well
at
the
very
bare
minimum.
We
want
to
prepare
for
scenario
number
one,
and
that
was
a
five
million
dollar
impact,
so
we
went
through
the
budget
and
isolated
large,
the
larger
bucket
it's
available
funds
so
from
our
Capital
Improvement
Fund
for
twenty
I
think
it
was
common
knowledge.
P
We
were
looking
at
having
a
City
Hall
move
to
the
government's
center
we'd
allocated
one
point:
five
million
dollars
roughly
for
that
plus
we
delayed
another
project
and
foreseen,
and
we
reserve
those
dogs
unforeseen
major
repairs
for
facilities
of
two
hundred
thousand,
so
that
freed
up
1.7
million
dollars,
the
Market
Street
Garage,
the
full
repair
was
budget.
At
one
point,
three:
three
million
our
facilities
manager
has
projected
that
we
could
spend
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
address
all
the
public
safety
issues
for
for
the
garage.
P
P
We
test
the
fleet
manager
to
run
through
the
entire
equipment
list
for
the
coming
year
and
determine
what
could
be
delayed
now,
of
course,
the
fleet
manager
always
sure
to
remind
us
that
any
delay
and
repurchases
for
the
equipment
he's
targeted
will
result
in
additional
servicing
cost,
but
we
think
it's
prudent
to
have
identified
those
pieces
of
equipment
that
we
can
delay
indefinitely
at
this
point
in
time
and
free
of
dollars
to
address
this
cope
with
issue
contrast
tools
and
commodities,
contractuals
and
commodities.
Those
are
very
large
I
reached
her
here.
P
E
P
Already
hit
those
categories
very
hard
just
going
into
twenty
one,
but
we
know
we
can
come
up
with
another.
Half
million
dollars
are
probably
more
in
that
category
I'm,
giving
the
process
that
koban
or
the
effect
COBIT
has
on
our
revenues
as
we
progress
through
the
year
and
then
you
use
when
utilizing
kind
of
a
mixed
approach
of
funding.
You
know
between
projects,
equipment,
actual
services,
service,
related
expenses
and
then
fund
balance
to
come
up
with
a
5
million
dollars.
We
applied
a
1.25
million
dollar
use
of
fund
balance
to
round
up
the
5
million.
P
So,
to
summarize
our
approach,
we
know
the
Kovach
19th
financial
situation
is
fluid,
and
we
also
know
that
worth
we're
not
going
to
understand
fully
the
impacts
for
a
couple
of
months.
Many
of
our
larger
revenues
are
on
two
to
three
months:
the
legs.
So
what
can
we
do
now?
Well,
our
recommendation
is
to
avoid
making
any
global
decisions
now,
given
the
degree
of
change
needed
to
still
yet
to
be
determined.
We
don't
wanna
make
a
decision
now.
P
This
can
impact
something
that
we
wouldn't
have
to
make
had
made
that
decision
for
six
months,
but
we
also
don't
want
to
get
ourselves
in
a
bind
early
on.
So
what
have
we
done?
We've
prepared
by
doing
the
scenario
planning
and
it
identified
five
million
dollars
in
backup
actions,
we're
keeping
our
eyes
kind
of
on
activity
related
to
bidding
and
what
what
what
might
be
we
be
committing
to
now
that's
going
to
affect
the
remainder
of
the
year.
Well,
asphalt
and
concrete
is
a
is
the
example
for
that
most
of
that
activity.
P
The
construction
season
occurs
between
now
and
early
fall
or
late
fall.
The
revenues
are
realized
over
the
entire
year.
So
acknowledging
that
s,
one
concrete
bid
reduction
they're
going
to
reducing
the
bids
that
we're
going
out
to
by
over
a
million
dollars
so
taking
the
net
into
account.
Now
we
know
we
have
strong
reserves
and
this
is
providing
us
some
flexibility
to
kind
of
assess
as
we
go
and-
and
we
want
to
communicate
to
the
community
and
the
council-
that
we
are
going
to
be
vigilant
and
very
proactive
in
our
approach
to
FY
21.
P
We
have
confidence
in
our
process.
We
reach
our
tower
revenues
as
soon
as
they
hit
our
bank
account.
We
chart
them.
You
know
we
have
years
of
revenue
tracking
in
our
Excel
documents.
We
have
a
contact
at
Department
of
Revenue,
we're
always
on
top
of
our
revenue
revenues
and
hopefully,
which
way
they're
training.
We
have
department
budget
meetings
every
month.
P
The
communication
we
received.
The
message
we
received
is
that
it
track
everything
and
and
figure
it
out
on
the
backend,
because
we're
hearing
that
they
haven't
even
figured
out
everything
that's
going
to
be
applicable
for
federal
resources
on
the
other
side
of
this,
so
they're
writing
as
they
go
so
right
now
we
are
very
actively
trying
to
figure
out
well,
we
need
to
track
how
we
need
to
track
it,
how
we
need
to
document
it.
P
So
there's
there's
constant
attention
being
applied
to
this
issue,
we're
confident
in
that
we
have
the
processes
in
place
to
to
address
things
as
they
occur,
and
we
know
we
have.
We
still
have
a
strong
local
economy
behind
us.
Just
from
a
personal
standpoint.
I
was
at
Menards
the
last
couple
weekend
as
I
know.
I
should
be
social
distancing
but
I'm,
also
building
a
house
and
I'm
having
to
pick
things
up
that
are
ordered
and
the
places
Pat
has
been
packed.
Our
farmers
market
I
think
there
was
last
I
heard.
P
A
A
D
P
Well,
I'm
gonna
say
that
I
guess
I'll
answer
that
in
a
couple
different
part,
our
methods,
our
bond
rating,
has
been
where
it
has
been
and
with
our
fund
balance
well
below,
where
we
are
currently
and
I
would
expect
you
know,
most
municipalities
are
confronted
with
the
same
situation.
I
think
bond
agencies,
look
at
management's
plan
and
making
sure
you
have
a
plan
and
you
follow
through
with
your
plan.
So
as
long
as
there's
reasons
behind
your
use
of
fund
balance,
we
have
an
event
it's
out
of
our
control
right
now.
P
D
P
By
understanding
this,
this
is
my
first
rodeo
on
it
and
just
been
in
several
other
calls
as
well.
It
will
take
some
time
after
the
event
is
over
to
get
reimbursed
you.
You
can
attempt
to
do
a
projection
and
get
funds
earlier
as
long
as
you
document
and
then
oh
I
can't
remember
the
percentage
but
they'll
they'll
fund
a
certain
percentage
of
your
projected
expenses,
but
as
far
as
the
final
settlement
settlement
I
think
it
you
know,
they're
talking
about
you
know
ear
from
now.
D
M
Think
that's
accurate
as
well.
This
is
this
is
not
gonna.
Follow
the
typical
FEMA
reimbursement
where
we're
trying
to
collect
public
assistance.
So
this
this
is
something
that's
entirely.
New.
We've
connected
with
a
consulting
group
disaster
recovery
group
and
trying
to
follow
some
of
their
guidelines
and
modeling
I'm,
still
very
connected
with
FEMA,
have
reached
out
in
Scott's.
Comments
were
spot
on
where
they
are
they're.
They're
writing
this
as
they
go.
A
C
Thank
you
so
I
just
wanted
to
just
say
thank
you
to
the
finance
department,
because
I've
been
communicating
with
friends
and
mine
business
owners
that
are
all
over
the
United
States.
As
all
this
has
been
unfolding
and
asking
what
they're
hearing
from
their
elected
officials
and
stuff
and
we're
getting
more
details
and
more
information
than
anybody
else's
and
the
fact
that
not
only
did
we
have.
C
Are
we
having
a
conversation
about
it,
but
we're
having
a
conversation
with
multiple
different
models,
depending
on
how
things
evolve
and
we're
having
a
conversation
with
a
list
of
things
that
says.
Okay,
here
are
not
only
here's
what
we
think
the
effects
are
going
to
be,
but
here's
how
we
can
react
to
those
effects.
I
think
that
speaks
loads
to
staff
preparedness
as
we
go
along.
So
thank
you,
Scott
and
finance
and
Tim,
and
everybody
else
for
doing
that.
C
I
also
wanted
to
say
that
you
know
this
is
exactly
why
we
spent
time
and
effort
building
up
that
emergency
fund
balance
right,
because
if
we
end
up
in
a
scenario
where
we're
not
reopening
until
July
1st,
which
please
please
please
let
that
not
be
what
happens.
But
you
know,
we've
got
enough
cash
in
the
bank
that
we
could
keep
the
city
running.
We
could
keep
first
responders,
fully
functional
and
out
in
doing
their
jobs
and
taking
care
of
things
and
I
think
that
there
are
communities
in
Illinois.
That
can't
say
the
same
thing.
C
A
A
And
we're
addressing
our
federal,
it
is
for
some
changes
in
some
of
the
federal
reimbursement
rules,
but
Rockford's
estimate
was
well
over
fourteen
million
dollars
in
the
next
two
months
and
Rockford
is
a
little
bigger
than
Bloomington
and
normal
combined,
but
that
that's
a
a
huge
hit
for
a
city
that
you
know
really
can't
afford
it.
So
we
are
as
I
think
as
Tim
said,
we're
not
in
great
shape,
but
we're
in
we're
in
good
shape,
at
least
right
now.
So
other
members
of
the
council.
Madam
clerk,
can
you
see
others
who.
B
A
Q
You
and
Scott,
if
you
don't
mind,
could
you
pull
back
up
your
screen
and
go
to
the
the
second
slide
in
your
presentation?
I,
just
I
would
like
to
while
you're
pulling
that
up.
I
just
want
to
walk
through
a
couple
of
pieces
here
and
I
know
you
kind
of
talked
about
this
and
would
talk
about
this
in
the
past,
and
it's
become
kind
of
a
topic
here.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide.
Q
Lot
of
work
to
try
to
keep
our
reserves
where
they
need
to
be
in
many
cases
above
and
beyond.
So
this
the
second
bullet
points,
the
bottom
one,
the
effects
in
the
general
fund
balance
sounds
like
we.
You
know
we
have
24
million
in
the
bank,
I'm
understanding
this
correctly
it
is.
It
may
be
checking
that
number
right,
because
it's
gonna
be.
Q
22
two-third
22
to
start
okay
and
then
about
three
million
of
that
is
some
of
it.
Kovat
related
some
of
it
other
stuff.
It's
gonna
come
out
correct,
yeah,
okay
and
then
projected
fund
balance,
use
of
fund
balance,
1.1
million
living
with
twenty
point,
two
million
correct
right,
yes,
and
then
we
would
meet.
We
would
have
in
order
to
meet
our
very
basic
body
obligations
and
everything
else
that
that
number
was
like
what
eighteen
point
six.
Is
that
what
I
heard
you
say?
Yeah.
P
J
Q
But
assuming
all
things
being
equal
that
that's
where
we
come
from
the
same
principle
goes
for
July:
first,
yes,
okay,
so
that
would
be
like
four
point:
five
million
in
in
some
way
we
have
to
come
up
with
those
dollars:
correct,
correct,
gotcha,
okay,
so
so
out
there,
you
know,
in
the
conversation,
have
heard
a
lot
of
people
talk
about.
You
know
twenty
million
dollar
reserve.
That's
not
really.
G
Q
Accurate
because
we
have
to
have
the
money
to
be
able
to
fund
government
services,
because
when
people
call
9-1-1
a
police
officer
or
fireman
or
EMT
is
gonna
have
to
show
up
so
the
way
that
I'm
viewing.
This
is
that
we
have
just
about
2
million
ish
in
that
we
can
look
at.
But
we
have
to
be
very,
very
strategic
because
you
know
we
don't
know
what,
when
the
shelter's
going
to
be
lifted-
and
you
guys
have
done
a
really
really
great
job
of
tracking
some
of
these
numbers
based
on
I,
think
very
realistic
estimations.
O
That
is,
that
has
been
that
the
city
financial
picture
and
so
I
just
but
yet
you
know
the
modeling
was
based
on
a
rescission
in
a
recession
model
in
a
town
like
Bloomington
that
that
does
have
some
I
guess:
I'll
call
it
San
in
celerity
from
from
some
of
the
certain
sectors
that
that
have
deep
recession
impacts.
In
other
words,
when
we
look
at
our
student
population
still
comes
to
town
and
still
spends
money,
and
we
look
at
the
insurance
sector.
O
O
So
as
we
look
at
all
the
deliverables
that
we're
charged
to
do
I,
you
know
I'm
just
glad
you're
on
our
team
and
working
on
these
things
and
being
intentional,
but
I
think
we
all
need
to
look
at
the
idea
that
two
million
dollars
a
month
is
will
become
a
big
number
very
quickly,
and
my
final
thoughts
are
that
the
conversation
around
the
Cova
defect
is
not
that
it'll
simply
be
a
light.
Switch
that
once
the
shelter-in-place
is,
is
lifted
or
somewhat
modified.
O
That
will
immediately
see
a
return
to
spend
because
of
the
nature
of
kovat.
People
won't
be
able
to
do
that.
They'll
still
be
some
some
impact
on
revenue
there
and
finally,
we
know
that
there
may
be
a
second
event
in
the
fall.
It's
being
projected
so
again,
I
just
appreciate
the
work
you've
done
in
crunching
the
numbers,
but-
and
it
helps
those
of
us
like
myself-
that
aren't
necessarily
a
numbers
person.
It's
it's
daunting.
There
are
challenges
ahead,
but
I'm
just
glad
you're
on
your.
A
L
You
mayor
so
I
want
to
do
also
express
my
appreciation
to
you,
Scott
and
to
Tim
billion
and
all
the
staff
about
what
what
you've
done
and
putting
us
in
a
good
position
and
looking
into
the
future
as
to
what
may
happen
just
a
couple
of
quick
questions
on
the
fund
balance.
What
is
the
actual
mandated
amount
that
the,
if
any,
that
the
city
has
to
keep
as
a
percentage.
P
L
E
A
Thank
you
all
so
much.
Thank
you
to
our
staff.
Thank
you,
Scott
thank
you,
Tim
and
all
the
staff
that
have
put
so
much
time
into
this.
We
very
much
appreciate
it
because,
obviously
we
were
reacting
at
a
macro
level
to
what
you
do
every
day
on
a
micro
level.
Thank
you
at
this
point.
We
move
to
our
council
initiatives
and
we
have
a
discussion
regarding
the
funding
of
the
seat
of
Bloomington
Township
to
administer
direct
aid
to
Bloomington
residents,
as
requested
by
councilmember
jeff
kraebel.
A
Just
to
be
sure,
I
wanna
make
sure
that
we're
being
fair,
councilor
Cradle
because
he's
filled
this
out
has
three
minutes
and
we
have
about
three
minutes
collectively
to
respond,
and
that
means
we've
all
got
about
20
seconds
and
I
will
I'll
start,
but
I'm
gonna
fall
within
my
20
seconds
in
terms
of
the
reaction
and
what
we're
looking
for.
This
is
not
a
boat,
it's
kind
of
like
a
big
straw
poll.
Do
we
move
forward
with
this
so
either
say
yes,
no
or
if
you've
got
one
two
or
three
sentences.
That's
about
all!
L
You
mayor,
my
initiative
is
to
place
an
agenda
item
under
the
April
27th
meeting
to
discuss
the
city
providing
direct
aid
to
residents
in
need.
The
April
27th
meeting
is
an
appropriate
time
to
have
this
discussion,
because,
during
the
same
meeting
with
we
will
also
be
discussing
what
the
township
and
nonprofits
are
doing
in
space.
We,
as
a
council,
already
started
to
have
these
discussions
and
meetings
with
the
city
manager
and
with
outside
advocacy
groups.
L
I
know,
while
council
members
are
concerned
about
how
this
help,
how
the
health
and
YouGov
economic
crisis
that's
affecting
our
community.
My
goal
would
be
for
us
to
have
a
direct
aid
program
ready
before
the
township
and
nonprofits
are
overwhelmed.
We
are
just
seeing
the
beginning
of
the
impact
in
March,
more
than
5,000
people
and
bloomington-normal
for
unemployment
benefits
compared
to
400
in
February.
At
some
point,
moratoriums
will
end
and
rent
and
mortgage
payments
will
become
due.
L
We
also
know
from
experience
that,
during
times
of
economic
recession
charitable
giving
drops
as
it
did
after
the
2008
recession,
the
city
can
coordinate
aid
with
nonprofits,
but
the
city
needs
to
take
the
lead.
We
will
be
receiving
Community
Development
Block
Grants
from
the
federal
government
we
have
accumulated,
as
we've
talked
about
the
22
million
dollar
reserve
that
was
collected
over
time
from
people
when
they
purchase
gas
or
groceries
or
pay
their
income
taxes
or
property
taxes.
Our
residents
need
some
of
that
money
back.
L
I
suggest
that
any
aid
be
administered
to
the
township,
a
governmental
body
accountable
to
us,
as
trustees.
Township
already
provides
some
aid
to
those
who
are
indigent
indigent,
but
we
have
a
whole
new
group
of
people
who
have
lost
their
jobs
and
have
never
relied
on
outside
aid
before
we
should
make
sure
that
aid
only
goes
to
people
in
need
and
any
age
should
be
coordinated
with
the
aid
provided
by
the
other.
Nonprofits
eligibility
should
be
simple,
based
on
proving
job
status,
residency
and
what
expenses
they
have
to
pay
and
they
cannot
meet.
L
The
goal
should
be
to
put
money
into
people's
hands
as
quickly
as
possible.
Our
city,
manager
and
staff
can
look
at
other
cities
for
guidance.
Well,
I
share
my
ideas
with
you.
The
purpose
of
my
initiative
is
to
continue
this
discussion
at
the
April
27th
meeting.
So
that
we
can
come
to
a
consensus
on
how
we
can
financially
support
or
residence
in
these
unprecedented
times,
Thank
You
mayor
thank.
Q
A
E
A
M
Thank
You
mayor,
actually,
in
the
time
in
between
when
alderman
Crabill
first
filled
out
his
council
initiative,
then
I
explained
actually
what
the
process
was.
He
thought
that
there
might
be
more
discussion
when
it's
first
brought
up,
which
is
tonight
and
then
that
we
might
be
prepared
for
this
to
be
an
agenda
item
on
the
27th,
explain
what
the
process
that
was
put
in
place
couple
years
ago.
Yes,
okay,.
A
Think
I
do
think.
We
need
to
do
something
with
the
level
of
that.
Of
course,
if
something
council
needs
to
determine
and
discuss,
okay
I
think
I
hit
my
20
seconds,
I'm
gonna
start
with
and
again
I'm
asking
you
either
yes/no
or
a
twenty
seconds.
So
one
two
three
sentences.
If
you
want
to
clarify
I'm
starting
I'm,
sorry
Jamie
Ward,
one
I'm
gone
from
Ward
one
to
ward
nine,
so
you
can
say
yes
no
to
consider
this
or
a
very
brief
statement.
C
Mayor
I
think
that
you
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
that
we
do
need
to
be
very
precise.
I,
don't
know
that
starting
off
with
having
a
blanket
open
conversation
without
a
basic
framework
is
going
to
be
helpful
to
anybody.
I
feel
like
it
might
just
be
a
waste
of
time,
but
I
would
be
entertain
a
an
actual
conversation
with
proposal
of
what
things
would
look
like
and
how
we
could
be
precise
in
the
future,
but
this
seems
overly
vague
right
now
and
I.
Don't
know
that
it'd
be
a
good
use
of
staff
time
so.
J
Agree
with
alderman
mathy
I
think
that
this
is
poorly
bettered,
there's
not
really
an
a
lot
of
information,
and
we
also
need
to
keep
in
mind
that
the
council
members
have
a
fiduciary
responsibility
and
I'm
not
sure
that
the
role
of
a
municipality
is
to
provide
direct
aid
to
the
citizens.
There's
a
lot
of
other
organizations,
businesses,
even
insurance
companies-
are
waiving
premium.
So
there's
a
lot
of
umbrella.
That's
taking
care
of
needs
in
this
community.
D
A
R
I'm,
yes,
I
think
it's
definitely
important
to
have
this
conversation.
However,
it's
to
inform
something
more
precise,
going
forward.
I
think
we
will
get
a
lot
of
relevant
information
from
others
as
we
discuss
this.
It
provides
an
opportunity
for
input
and
it
takes
it
to
the
public
arena,
which
is
very
important.
I
maintained
that
we
do
need
to
balance
our
responsibilities
with
with
data-driven
need,
but
having
a
conversation
will
get
us
closer
to
that
point.
Thank.
K
No
I
think
that
having
a
further
conversation
about
this
will
just
stir
it
more
widespread
panic
on
this,
when
we
have
every
thing
available
within
our
community
and
I.
Think
that
you
people
that
think
that
the
city
needs
to
kick
in
which
we
really
can't,
because
dragging
on
this,
we
may
have
to
dig
into
9.5
million
dollars.
K
S
A
yes
all
needs
certainly
are
not
being
met,
and
we
need
to
kick
in
to
fill
in
the
gap
to
ensure
the
well-being
of
our
community
members
and
I
think
that
there
is
nothing
wrong
with
having
an
open,
transparent
conversation
about
this
in
public.
Without
all
the
details
needing
to
be
baked
in
ahead
of
time
and
behind
the
scenes,
I,
don't
think.
That's
a
democratic
process
and
I'd
like
to
see
us
how
this
conversation
in
public.
Q
You
you
all
read
my
lengthy
response
on
Friday
I
sounds
like
I'm
in
alignment
with
Jamie
and
Terry
I'm,
supportive
of
a
fact-based
thoughtful
conversation.
But
I
want
to
be
crystal
clear.
We
are
not
voting
on
anything
next
week
and
any
suggestion
to
that
is
disingenuous,
so
I
open
to
the
gain
the
facts
on
the
table:
hearings
right
now
for
profit
partners
and
then
making
the
appropriate
recommendations
from
there.
So.
A
O
A
A
In
moving
forward
with
this
Thank
You
councilmember
Craig
Hill,
you
brought
up
a
obviously
a
significant
issue
and
you
should
be
certainly
applauded
for
that
and
obviously
there
are
a
variety
of
different
opinions
given
that
we're
at
five
for
about
going
forward,
but
this
is
not
necessarily
something
that
we
can't
continue
to
discuss
in
the
future,
because
this
is
not
going
away.
You
know
we
do
know
that
our
the
American
social
welfare
system
and
private
contributions
is
like
a
fish
net.
A
People
fall
through
the
cracks
all
the
time,
I,
remember
it
as
a
kid
being
on
and
off
welfare
yeah,
and
let
me
tell
you
yeah:
there
are
cracks
that
are
so
wide
and
sad
and
I
can't
even
imagine
this,
but
the
question
is
is
what
the
city
does
and
how
we
move
forward.
So
this
is
at
least
right
now.
This
will
not
appear
on
the
council
agenda
for
next
week
and
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
city
manager
for
report,
and
then
we
will
adjourn
mr.
Gleason.
M
Thank
You,
mayor
and
council
I
actually
have
a
fair
number
of
items,
but
I'm
gonna
move
quickly.
So
the
the
next
council
meeting
is
a
special
council
meeting
and
that's
this
Wednesday
at
6:00
p.m.
and
one
soeul
agenda
item
and
that's
for
the
consideration
approval
of
FY
21,
the
next
council
meeting
after
that
is
on
April
27th
and
just
one
to
share
that
the
presentation
that
was
made
by
Mike
Nugent
in
cooperation
with
the
HR
department
regarding
our
property
and
life
liability
insurance.
M
That's
got
a
renewal,
effective
date
of
May
1st,
so
that
will
also
be
in
April
27th
agenda
item
for
council
to
consider
also,
we
were
talking
about
the
presentations
that
we've
lined
up.
You
know
for
that
Monday
night
I'm
a
week
from
now
path
is
going
to
present
about
the
services
that
they're
providing
the
United
Way
Pawnee
and
David
Taylor
are
going
to
come
in
present
then
also
prior
to
the
council
meeting.
It's
the
township
meeting.
M
You
know
if
I'm
hearing
counsel
correctly,
that
sounds
like
the
director
Deb
skill
root
is
going
to
be
asked,
maybe
about
the
programs
that
are
in
place.
What
the
capacity
is?
What
the
needs
currently
are
may
be
questions
about
the
reserves
that
they
have
I'd
like
to
I
I.
Think
what
I
would
do
is
I
plan
on
prepping
her
for
this
possibility
in
the
meeting
prior
to
the
council
meeting,
also
possibly
coming
before
council
under
the
placeholder
emergency
order.
M
Agenda
item
that
we
have
is
just
something
along
the
line
of
trying
to
provide
credits
for
video
gaming.
That's
an
issue
that
we've
heard
and
that
staff
is
working
on
as
well,
then
shifting
gears
slightly
when
we
talk
about
the
different
programs
that
are
within
the
community,
our
city
website
is
an
excellent
resource
and
that's
City,
Bloomberg,
CIT
y
BLM
dot
or
so
be
in
prepared
org
with
the
EDC,
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
are
excellent
resources
out
there,
for
everybody
shift
gears
just
a
little
bit
and
it's
worth
mentioning
again
the
farmers
market.
M
This
past
Saturday
was
a
huge
success.
The
drive
up
lane
was
on
Lee
Street
I
had
about
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
in
total
sales.
The
next
time
we'll
do.
This
will
be
early
May
and
Melissa
Hahn
and
her
team.
The
volunteers
did
a
tremendous
job.
The
overwhelming
appreciation
out
of
the
farmers
selling
their
goods.
It
was
tremendous.
M
It
was
a
great
thing
to
be
a
part
of
also
for
our
executive
director
at
the
library
Jeanie
Hamilton,
while
we're
not
doing
proclamations
under
my
comments,
I
want
to
share
that
it
is
National,
Library
Week
and
they
are
open,
but
it's,
but
it's
through
opportunities
like
this
virtually
and
I
guess
the
last
thing
the
last
meeting
talked
about
golf
a
little
bit
this
time.
I'm
going
to
talk
about
public
works,
brush
and
solid
waste.
Pickup
and
I
know
that
I've
explained
this.
M
You
know
whether
it's
been
articles
media
coverage,
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
it's
probably
one
of
those
things
where
we
can't
talk
about
enough.
When
we
talk
about
those
men
and
women
that
are
out
there,
picking
up
brush
solid
waste
and
really
the
big
is
garbage
when
Co
vyd
19
first
occurred
and
we're
talking
about
five
weeks
ago
now,
I
cut
that
workforce
in
half,
so
there's
50
percent
that
are
at
home,
there's
50
percent
that
are
working
and
the
total
reason
behind
that
was
trying
to
protect
those
employees
and
preserve
the
workforce.
M
God
forbid,
Kovan
19
was
rampant
throughout
the
community.
It's
easy
to
cast
aside
brush
and
solid
waste
pick
up,
a
garbage
could
become
the
disaster
within
the
disaster.
So
that's
decision
was
made
and
I
realize
that
a
lot
of
people
are
at
home.
I
have
time
in
their
hands
and
they're
doing
projects
bringing
stuff
out
to
the
curb
shouldn't
be
on
the
road,
but
you
know
to
the
curb
we're
working
with
the
reduced
force
workforce
and
we're
working
with
even
more
being
brought
out
to
the
curb
and-
and
that's
not
an
excuse.
M
M
This
pandemic
has
occurred
and
it's
sort
of
adjusted
things
so
I
guess
what
I'm
asking
for
is
for
some
patients
and
if
you
don't
mind
from
that
pitcher
window
of
the
house,
when
you
see
a
garbage
truck
go
by,
you
know
wave
to
those
guys
that
are
out
there
doing
this
job
every
day.
It's
it's
a
frustrating
for
them
as
well
that
they
can't
meet
the
needs
of
the
community
like
like
they
want
to.
So
with
that
said,
mayor
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
back
over
to
you
and
thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
and
actually
you've
actually
answered
a
question
that
I'm
going
to
ask
you
yet
again
for
the
public
record
on
Wednesday
evening,
when
we
have
our
regular
meeting,
where
we
have
a
regular
ultramatic
comments
and
city
manager
and
mayor
all
comments,
so
just
to
clarify
about
brush
and
bulb
pickup,
because
I
think
that's
really
important
as
a
message
to
get
across
to
our
citizens.
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
all
for
what
you
do
for
all
that
you've
done
it
and
thank
our
City
Council.
You
know.
A
I
realized
that
tonight
we've
had
the
equivalent
of
look
like
a
5-4
vote
once
again
we're
all
in
this
together.
We
all
want
the
best
for
Bloomington.
Thank
you
all
for
your
work.
Thank
you
all
for
your
service
and
we
have
much
more
to
go
through
in
this
issue.
That
is
the
excuse
me.
The
set
of
issues
dealing
with
the
crisis
facing
our
world
and
particularly
in
our
city.
Thank
you.
Is
there
a
motion
at
this
point,
since
we
don't
have
any
second
session?
