Okay,
my
name
is
Ricky
Lee,
Beneke
and
I'm
here,
not
only
as
an
advocate
for
Life
Center
for
Independent
Living,
but
also
a
person
with
a
disability
and
a
resident
of
Bloomington
I'm
here
in
strong
favor
of
alderman
Schmidt's
proposal
to
add
a
seat
to
the
Transportation
Commission
to
include
representation
from
the
city's
disabled
population
in
the
u.s.
one
in
four
about
25%
of
the
people
have
a
disability:
that's
a
huge
proportion
of
our
population.
D
D
You
know,
while
we
can
get
on
the
bus.
Sometimes
we
have
a
hard
problem
getting
to
the
bus
and
for
that
matter,
or
into
stores
or
even
across
going
across
the
street
because
of
curb
cuts.
There's
a
saying
called
nothing
about
us
without
us.
It's
used
to
communicate
the
idea
that
no
policy
should
be
decided
by
any
represent
representative
without
full
and
direct
participation
of
members
of
the
group
or
group
that
are
affected
by
that
policy.
D
The
phrase
continues
to
be
a
strong
part
of
disability
activism
because
for
far
too
long
decisions
have
been
made
for
people
with
disabilities
by
others
who
had
no
idea
about
the
real
barriers
that
we
face
every
day.
So
I
urge
you
to
include
representation
from
persons
with
disabilities,
not
only
on
the
Transportation
Commission,
but
on
all
Commission's
in
the
city.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
B
F
You
mayor
Jeanne,
if
you'd
step
up,
please
just
a
couple
of
quick
comments.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
update
Council
on
the
work
that
has
been
completed
since
the
last
time.
The
library
and
library
of
board
chairman
has
presented
to
council
Farnsworth
has
updated
renderings
of
a
phased
expansion
in
the
current
location,
executive,
director,
Jeanie,
Hamilton
and
I.
You
know
in
two-and-a-half
years
for
her
and
three
months.
For
me,
we
have
worked,
you
know
very
closely
together
and
you
know,
instead
of
the
library
sort
of
being
out
there
on
their
own.
F
You
know
the
city
manager's
office
and
her
as
the
executive
director
I
think
that
we
had
an
opportunity
to
work
more
closely
together
and
that
is
occurring
some
of
those
areas.
You
know
that
we
believe,
if
tremendous
value
and
sharing
tonight
are
discussing
the
timeline.
This
really.
This
discussion
in
various
you
know
shapes
and
forms
goes
back
to
2000
and
the
or
most
recently,
the
expansion
in
the
lower
portion,
the
northeast
portion
that
they
used
for
space
when
they
had
space
needs
back
in
2006
and
then
also
I've.
F
Had
the
question
and
have
had
very
good
discussions
with
Jeannie
on
how
did
we
get
to
a
hundred
thousand
square
foot
on
the
space
versus
the
57,000
square
foot
that
they
currently
have
and
they
have
steps
that
they
work
through?
They
actually
have
software
that
they
use
to
show
the
volume
or
the
consumption
rate
and
different
items
within
the
library
and
then
also
what
are
their
current
facility
needs.
F
There
is
a
lot
of
clutter
as
what
how
I'll
describe
it
in
the
form
of
you,
know,
wires
and
cables
and
cords
that
are
in
the
working
space
of
the
employees
and
then
the
other
thing
is
the
renderings
do
not
necessarily
solve
the
issues,
the
ripple
effect
or
the
impacts.
You
know
if
this
expansion
would
occur
as
they've
discussed
in
the
past.
What
are
the
impacts
to
public
works?
Has
parking
been
adequately
addressed,
and
it's
all
of
this
that
we're
trying
to
kick
off
a
discussion.
F
F
G
G
Then
in
2001
a
study
determined
that
there
was
a
community
in
need
of
a
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
square
feet.
Then,
after
a
conversation
and
different
proposals,
the
library
was
renovated
in
2006
and
this
included
flipping
the
building
to
face
the
parking
lot
and
in
closing
a
portion
of
the
lower
level
open-air
covered
parking
and
that
gained
about
7,000
square
feet
of
internal
space.
G
Also,
since
the
2006
renovation
we've
seen
a
61
percent
increase
in
circulation,
a
20%
increase
in
program
attendance
and
a
35
percent
increase
in
visitor
count,
and
while
we
have
seen
some
decrease
since
the
2006
for
public
computer
use,
we
have
seen
an
uptick
again
this
year
and
we
see
about
50,000
uses
per
year
in
those
public
computers,
and
we
also
in
addition
to
that.
We
see
a
lot
of
Wi-Fi
use
now
and
if
you
compare
to
some
similar
communities,
we
are
circulating
more
materials
than
Peoria's
and
they
have
five
branches.
G
So
what
is
our
building
mean
for
us
right
now?
Right
now
we
have
inadequate
parking,
frequently
library
visitors
have
to
circle
the
parking
lot
to
find
a
place
to
park
and
or
leave
without
coming
back
coming
in
due
to
lack
of
parking.
We
have
a
substandard
collection.
Our
collection
is
actually
four
thousand
items
less
than
standards
recommend
and
it
shelves
tighter
than
recommended
as
well,
and
this
leads
to
discarding
material
sooner
than
we
would
like
in
a
collection.
G
This
hole
can
actually
lead
to
disk
decrease
circulations
because
it's
harder
for
people
to
browse
and
as
Tim
mentioned,
we
do
have
a
software,
it's
called
collection,
HQ
and
it
helps
us
run
reports
and-
and
we
can
set
thresholds
on
when
to
discard
items,
and
we
are
we're
not
meeting
what
the
standards
and
recommend
and
they
do
compared
to
other
libraries
of
our
size.
So
we're
seeing
that
as
well
with
that
software,
we
do
have
our
demands
exceed
capacity
for
our
program.
We
have
to
turn
people
away
or
have
waiting
lines
for
more
popular
programs.
G
For
example,
last
year
our
beginning
of
summer
reading
party
drew
in
over
700
people,
and
this
was
a
drop-in
program.
That's
the
end,
a
two-hour
window
and
it
required
a
bouncer
to
ensure
that
we
didn't
exceed
the
fire
code
and
we
had
a
line
from
the
room
to
the
entrance,
the
entire
two
hours
and
most
of
our
programs,
where
we
anticipate
large
attendance.
We
do
have
two
sessions
which
increases
the
performer
and
staff
time
cost,
whereas
if
we
had
a
larger
room,
maybe
we
wouldn't
have
to
do
that
our
teen
zone.
G
We
have
wait
lists
in
place
for
our
team
zone
services
during
the
popular
hours
and
the
room
is
very
packed
in
there
and
we
have.
We
only
have
two
group
study
rooms
and
they're
frequently
full
and
our
large
community
room
is
booked
every
day
of
this
month
and
some
days
there,
multiple
bookings,
back-to-back
and
then
in
efficient
staff
areas,
which
Tim
also
brought
up
one
office
office,
has
an
ethernet
cord,
that's
taped
around
the
entire
room,
because
the
area
is
that
design
prior
to
the
internet.
G
G
G
If
there
is
no
expansion
or
renovation,
we
will
still
need
to
do
a
wide
variety
of
work
at
the
library,
but
most
of
these
are
considered
band-aids
and
really
don't
help
meet
those
space
and
community
needs
and
really
the
big-ticket
item.
There
is
replacing
that
roof.
So
what
we
need
from
you
is,
we
really
need
resolution.
We
need
direction,
we
think
that
deferred
maintenance
and
that
roof
project.
G
All
that
list
is
probably
about
two
million
dollars
and-
and
we
also
believe
that
time
is
money
so
as
we
go
forward,
construction
costs
increase
and
any
any
delay
is
really
costing
the
city
money.
We
believe
and
a
resolution
that
were
asking
for,
would
really
include
the
direction
we
should
go
and
hopefully
a
commitment
to
fund
that
direction.
A
G
A
G
A
What
I'm
suggesting
is,
maybe
even
both
I
mean
if
you
guys
raised
your
levy
cuz,
it
is
the
lowest
all
the
metros
in
right,
central
Illinois,
with
that
money
earmarked
for
a
bond-
and
let's
say
the
city
also
took
out
a
small
bond
that
could
be
a
separate
situation
in
order
I'm,
just
thinking
of
creative
ways
that
we
might
close
the
the
financial
gap
here.
Absolutely.
G
A
H
A
few
questions:
first,
we
talked
about
the
most
recent
conceptual
drawings
are
based
on
a
couple
of
different
things,
including
community
feedback.
Can
you
give
us
an
idea
of
what
kind
of
community
feedback
you
received?
I
mean?
Did
you
hold
public
hearings,
visit
neighborhood
groups
with
their
polling
or
canvassing?
What
was
done
so.
G
In
2015,
the
the
board
hired
Farnsworth
and
there
were
community
input
sessions
open
to
the
public.
At
that
point,
and
then
this
most
recent
iteration
was
talking
to
city
staff,
the
feedback
that
we've
heard
at
the
very
nations
that
we've
given
on
those
previous
conceptual
site
plans
and
then
I've
gotten
feedback
from
community
members
that
have
reached
out
to
me
after
they've
seen
notes
as
well.
C
Yeah
I
mean
the
the
latest
Farnsworth
study
is
really
about
envisioning.
What
that
space
could
look
like
you
know.
This
is
something
that
most
of
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
library
to
beyond
points,
but
we
had
heard
both
from
Council
and
from
others
that
there
needed
to
be
some
sort
of
a
vision
as
to
what
this
space
could
look
like,
and
so
that
was
one
of
our
goals
is
to
say:
okay,
how
could
this
potentially
be
understood
as
the
library
now
and,
if
and
when
the
city
decides
to
go
further
in
that
space?
C
How
could
we
incorporate
other
structures?
That
would
really
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
library,
but
it
was
an
effort
to
give
some
sort
of
vision
for
that
space.
Okay,.
H
Thank
you
I
appreciate
that
clarification,
so
I
wanted
to
ask
you
a
couple
of
questions
about
parking
because
that
has
been
used
is
one
of
the
justifications
for
the
higher
needs,
which
is
reflected
in
the
vision
study,
as
well
as
I.
Think
in
the
experience
of
anyone.
Who's
actually
been
to
the
library
in
the
last
several
years.
That
parking
is
a
big
problem
so
well.
C
Okay,
so
if
you
are
looking
at
that
option,
one
a
the
parking
for
the
library
would
be
a
hundred
and
ninety
six,
the
spaces
total
so
your
and
that
then
you
add
in
a
little
bit
more
for
the
trailhead,
which
is
down
at
the
bottom
of
that
property.
You'll
see
that
the
total
parking
is
about
208
spaces.
So
it's
quite
a
bit
more
than
what
we
have
now
so.
H
G
The
current
code
says
five
hundred
but
I
think
that
anywhere
any
location
that
the
library's
at
that
needs
to
be
a
community
conversation
about
whether
that's
the
right
amount
or
and
how
we
get
that
number
and
what
the
what
the
best
way
to
meet
our
needs
are
because
I
don't
know
that.
There's
very
many
places
in
town
that
could
accommodate
500
parking
spots
and.
C
Indeed,
as
we're
all
very
well
aware,
there's
some
a
lot
of
community
discussion
as
to
whether
these
make
sense.
You
know
we
have
quite
a
few
empty
parking
lots
throughout
the
downtown
throughout
the
city
and
I
know
that
part
of
this
is
that
perhaps
we're
over
parking
with
some
of
these
requirements
and
that's
obviously
something
that
the
the
changes
in
the
planning
are
taking
into
account.
Have.
H
H
It's
because
we
are
scaling
back
or
we
did,
the
consultants
have
looked
at
scaling
back.
So
with
that
in
mind,
and
you
know
and
I
agree,
this
is
a
conversation
right.
Nothing
is
a
deal-breaker,
but
we
need
to
keep
in
mind
because
it
will
have
an
impact
on
user
experience
and
it's
one
that
we've
already
heard
that
you're
very
concerned
about
that.
The
parking
is
important
to
users
as
a
library.
H
So
my
question
to
you
is:
what,
if
anything,
have
you
done
yet
to
start
that
community
conversation
and
and
I
can
only
assume
that
when
that
conversation
starts,
if
it
hasn't
already,
it
starts
with
them?
It's
growth
and
this
question,
being
there
can
Dimon's
Grove
in
that
nearby
residential
area
bear
the
burden
that
we
almost
certainly
would
be
putting
on
them
in
the
additional
traffic
and
and
traffic
congestion
in
terms
of
on
street
parking,
I.
G
Don't
think
that
we
can
have
any
of
those
types
of
conversations
yet
because
we
have
not
had
commitment
and
dry
into
this
project
at
all.
So
we
don't
want
to
go
out
and
continue
to
ask
questions
about
something
that
we
have
no
commitment
for,
and
that's
a
I've
had
that
question
about
fundraising
to
where
we
are
on
fundraising
and
I
feel
like
that's
another
thing
that
we
feel
very
handcuffed
at
the
library,
because
we
can't
we
can't
move
forward.
If
we
don't
know
what
the
plan
and
vision
of
the
council
is.
H
C
Realistically,
remember
that
the
council
and
the
library
board
over
a
series
of
iterations
and
meetings,
it
has
been
decided
that
the
library
should
remain
in
the
center
of
the
city
and
if
we
are
going
to
be
sticking
with
and
the
idea
that
we
need
four
to
five
hundred
parking
spaces,
that's
not
going
to
happen.
So
if
the
council
has
decided
that
indeed,
we
want
to
favor
parking
over
accessibility
for
a
wide
variety
of
our
citizens.
That's
a
decision
that
the
council
would
probably
have
to
direct
us
to
do.
That's.
C
I
I
H
You
know
from
the
users
from
staff
from
board
members
from
trustees
that
that
is
a
concern,
but
I
wanted
to
ask
you
about
some
of
the
other
concerns
that
have
been
sited
in
here,
including-
and
this
is
the
public
input
I'm
going
to
read
a
couple
that
are
in
the
top
five
worst
things
about
the
Bloomington
Public
Library,
and
if
you
could
just
let
me
know
if
these
have
been
addressed
in
the
conceptual
drawings
we
have
so
number
one
very
weak
connection
to
and
from
downtown
Bloomington.
Does
this
conceptual
drawing
do
anything
to
address
I.
G
G
Members
have
been
vocal
about
that
that
they
do
want
to
see
that
tie,
but
I
think
that's
again,
something
that
we
have
to
work
with
city
staff
on
is
there
something
where
we
could
do
trail
access
of
East
Street
and
connect
further
north
to
maybe
the
the
downtown
area,
but
again
those
some
of
those
things
are
outside
of
our
scope
that
we
can't
do
anything
about
because
our
our
scope
is
here,
and
so
we
have
to
partner,
with
other
shape
city
staff,
to
address
that.
So
they
put
that
isn't
not
yet
I.
G
C
H
It
all
sometimes
more
difficult
and
unpleasant
access
for
pedestrians,
I
come
and
I'm.
Sorry,
not
at
the
parking,
which
is
we
already
I.
C
Also
makes
it
easier
for
people
to
access
from
the
parking
lot.
One
of
the
other
sort
of
major
issues
with
the
current
alignment
of
the
building
is
the
fact
that
the
book
drop
is
aligned
in
such
a
way
that
it
creates
a
bit
of
a
hazard
for
people
coming
in
and
out
of
the
main
entrance.
You'll
notice
that
that's
repositioned
and
the
access
from
the
parking
to
the
building
should
be
much
easier
to
to
get
to.
H
C
A
signage
I
mean
at
the
moment,
we've
we've
got
a
variety
of
infrastructure,
that's
about
a
block
away
and
there's
no
real
connection,
and
so
that
would
be
something
that
would
be
relatively
straightforward
and
easy.
Both
paint
on
the
street
and
some
of
the
continuation
of
the
wayfinding
that
has
started
and
I
think
is
pretty
good.
You
know
we're
very
very
close
to
that,
but
that
is
again
something
that
we
can't
again
assuming
the
city
doesn't
want
us
going
around
ninja-style
putting
up
signs,
we
can't
do
on
our
own.
Could.
J
H
I'm
gonna
move
on
there's
a
couple
of
things
there,
but
I'll
move
on
to
cost,
because
I
want
to
be
considerate
of
everyone
else,
a
cost.
What
I've
seen
is
conceptual
drawing
a
twenty
eight
million
dollars.
So
that's
the
best
estimate
at
this
point
in
time,
correct,
okay
and
then
does
not
include
the
estimated
five
to
fifteen
that
it
will
cost
to
move
Public
Works
correct
for
all
right,
so
we're
looking
at
then
probably
a
project
in
the
neighborhood
of
thirty
eight
million
dollars
in
order
to
move
forward
on
conceptual
drawing.
H
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
okay,
have
you
looked
at
how
much
the
true
cost
of
that
will
be,
because
if
you've
talked
about
you,
don't
have
thirty
eight
million
dollars
laying
around
neither
does
the
city
and
we're
gonna
have
to
borrow
that
money
and
pay
it
out
over,
probably
thirty
years.
So
what
will
the
true
cost
of
the
library
expansion
be.
G
C
H
Absolutely,
and
certainly
that's
something
to
take
into
consideration,
but
so
we're
talking
about
a
50
million
dollar
project
over
time
and
I
know
some
of
those
dollars
are
not
today's
dollars.
So
it's
not
an
apples
to
apples
comparison
but
still
I
mean
I.
Think
we
need
to
be
very
transparent
and
understanding
about
what
kind
of
commitment
this
is
and
I've
heard.
Others
use
the
spray
so
I'm
going
to
steal
it
cuz
I
liked
it
it's
a
generational
commitment
that
we
will
be
making
as
a
city
council
to
the
citizens
of
the
city
of
Bloomington.
H
So
we
have
to
be
very
careful
about
how
we
do
that
so
I'm
going
to
give
you
the
opportunity,
then,
to
answer
this
question.
You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
other
needs.
We
have
infrastructure
issues,
we
have
economic
development
means
we
have
revitalization
of
downtown.
We
come
here
in
your
pool.
How
does
this
project?
Why?
Let
me
rephrase
that?
Why
should
this
project
get
funding,
even
though
we
know
that
means
some
of
those
other
projects
will
not?
Okay,.
C
Some
of
this
is
priority,
setting
that
the
council
needs
to
do
quite
frankly,
but
it
is
something
that
we
feel
very
strongly.
The
library
is
a
very
valuable
and
core
part
of
the
community.
I
really
don't
want
to
get
into
saying
the
library
where
we
rank
one
way
or
another,
because,
quite
frankly,
that's
not
for
us
to
decide.
The
council
I
think
really
needs
to
make
a
decision
and
decide
what
your
priorities
are
and
how
they're
going
to
be
funded
and
work
that
out.
We
are
aware
that
money
is
not
limitless.
K
G
K
C
But
the
phasing
in
the
plan
actually
I
think
there's
been
some
confusion,
perhaps
on
the
council
and
a
little
bit
in
the
public.
The
other
phases
beyond
this
really
are
visioning
phases
of
what
something
could
look
like,
but
that's
not
something
we're
proposing
okay.
So
what
we're
proposing
is
a
library,
expansion
somewhere
down
the
road?
If
and
when
the
city
decided
to
go
further,
there's
some
pictures
and
ideas
of
how
that
might
fit
in
the
space,
but
that's
not
something
we're
proposing
at
all
this.
Okay,
okay,.
L
L
We
just
don't
have
that
kind
of
money
and
I.
Don't
think
anybody
has
the
stomach
for
raising
property
taxes
to
pay
for
this.
Quite
honestly
and
I
love,
the
library
I
was
on
the
library
board.
I
would
love
to
see
it
expand,
but
we
have
too
many
other
unmet
needs
that
are
very
important
to
it
would
cost
two
million
for
you
to
take
care
of
the
HVAC
and
everything
does
that
include
the
roof.
Okay
and
I
think
it
could
use
a
refreshment
of
the
interior
I.
L
Our
size
could
handle
a
few
branches
elsewhere,
but
we
have
to
figure
out
a
way
to
do
it
cheaply,
and
you
know
I'm
sorry,
but
that's
the
way
I
see
it
and
I
would
hope
that
the
library
could
expand
in
the
future.
I
would
hope
that
we
would
get
in
a
better
place
financially,
but
we're
not
there
today
so
anyway.
I'm
just
being
honest,
that's
my
opinion.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
E
Thank
you,
I
know
no
question
in
my
mind
that
this
community
deserves
a
premier
library
and
no
question
in
my
mind
that
you
have
absolutely
maxed
out
what
you've
got
and
I.
Thank
you
for
the
programs
and
services
that
we
have
I
personally
I
I
know
you're
not
going
to
want
to
keep
getting
put
off,
but
I'm
at
the
point.
Still
where
I
don't
understand
our
future
budget
needs
and
what
pressures
we
have,
what
our
challenges
are.
So
it's
really
difficult
to
say:
yeah.
E
Let's
do
this
when
we
don't
have
the
full
picture,
and
so
I
need
more
information,
I,
just
thinking
about
this
pragmatically,
if,
if
you,
if
we
ended
up
at
a
spot
where
we
could
begin
to
stage
out
this
expansion,
you
would
still
have
to
do
all
of
the
renovation.
Is
that
right,
I
mean?
Is
that
a
step
away
from
what
you're
doing
or
is
that
still
kind
of
moving
us
forward
a
little
bit
so.
C
Some
of
that
depends
upon
I
mean
at
the
moment.
We
have
a
conceptual
plan.
We
don't
really
have.
You
know
something
beyond
that.
We
have
in
informal
talks
with
Farnsworth.
It
could
be
something
that
would
be
part
of
this,
but
it's
unlikely
because
the
HVAC
system,
for
example,
the
buildings,
will
be
joined
that
would
have
to
be
redone
the
roof.
A
good
chunk
of
that
would
have
to
be
redone,
so
it
would
not
be
some
of
it.
Certainly,
you
know
internal
wiring,
etc,
etc.
C
E
C
Indeed,
you
know
I
mean
that
parking
somewhere
in
the
general
downtown
area
is
always
going
to
be
a
challenge.
I
mean
we
do
think
that
this
is
is
doable,
especially
given
the
relative
lack
of
development
south
of
the
library
currently
but
again,
the
direction
of
the
library
or
the
direction
of
the
council
has
been
that
the
library
should
be
expanding
where
we
are,
and
we
are
continuing
to
do
that
and
realistically,
unless
we
build
a
parking
garage
which
I
think
is
unnecessary
and
certainly
would
be
very
costly.
C
E
E
Same
pad
and
I
guess
this
question
is
my
last
question
is
for
Tim
regarding
the
public
works
area,
and
you
know:
what
do
we
even
have
plans
for
moving
it
elsewhere?
I
know
it
looks
like
we
have
a
ten
million
dollar
cost
associated
with
that.
So
do
we
have,
you
know
like
what
are
we
thinking
if
we
were
to
make
this
happen?
There.
F
Are
so
many
opportunities
and
I
think
it's
best
to
describe
it
that
way
versus
challenges,
so
many
different
moving
parts
as
well?
You
know
tonight
was
an
opportunity
for
us
to
rehash
some
stuff,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
in
very
short
order,
I've
got
to
bring
some
clarity
to
this
elected
body
to
the
library
board.
I
know,
Jeanie
definitely
wants
that,
and
you
know
it's
something
that
I
was
going
to
say
after
the
in
the
comments
for
the
O'neill
Park
discussion.
F
F
You
know
try
to
be
able
to
pick
off
some
of
the
capital
projects
that
are
out
there
for
the
community,
so
in
one
hand
we
need
to
decide
how
much,
if
in
fact,
anything
that
we
have
to
spend
on
some
of
these
things
that
are
above
and
beyond,
but
I'll
circle
back
to
sort
of
where
I
started.
I've
got
to
provide
I
feel
from
my
office.
I've
got
to
provide
Jeannie
with
some
clarity
on
what
her
next
steps
are
in
short
order,
so
I
felt
that
there
was
great
value
in
having
this
discussion
tonight
right.
E
A
On
the
heels
of
that,
before,
I
go
to
all
the
woman
helm
and
what
what
is
it
that
the
projection,
roughly
of
10
million
dollars
for
us
to
relocate,
Public
Works,
is
that
something
that
can
be
spread
out
over
several
years?
Is
that
something
that's
going
to
hit
us
at
once?
How
would
that
work
to
have
any
rough
estimates?
Mr.
Gleeson
sure.
F
You
know
there
are
and
again
I
talked
about
the
opportunities
you
know
you
look
at
smaller
satellite
locations
reduces
the
need
on
the
existing.
You
look
at
an
expansion
in
the
current
spot.
You
look
at
other
projects
that
might
be
going
on
in
the
community
where
the
library
can
connect
to
any
number
of
things,
have
a
domino
effect
or
a
ripple
effect
and
what
we
might
do
with
Public
Works
moving
Public
Works
to
a
different
location
and
the
community
is
definitely
something
that
is.
F
You
know
I
at
least
on
our
table
of
discussion
internally,
but
there's
other
components
that
play
into
that
decision
as
well.
Either
way
it's
going
to
be
costly,
but
know
that
they
need
space,
they're
working
on
equipment,
that's
oversized
and
the
mechanics
are
out
in
the
elements,
because
we
don't
have
the
garage
space
to
pull
in
and
work
somewhere
and
know
that
in
very
short
order,
I've
got
to
not
just
bring
you
guys
problems
but
solutions
so
we're
working
on
it.
A
F
Understood
and
and
Jim
and
I
are
very
aware:
Jim
cars
public
works
director
very
aware
that
you
know
if
that
was
to
occur,
we
got
to
find
a
new
spot
for
that,
so,
but
still
that
does
not
take
away.
Some
of
the
Public
Works
needs
that
they
have
for
other
things.
Besides
a
convenience
center
that
are
pressing,
but
not
necessarily
connected
to
the
library,
expansion
and.
A
E
I'm
looking
at
our
five
council
priorities
and
five-year
capital
improvement
comes
under
infrastructure,
capital
improvement
comes
under
our
financial
planning,
which
was
added
a
couple
years
ago,
and
so
for
me,
it's
very
hard
enough.
I'll
be
saying
the
same
thing.
When
we
talk
about
O'neil
pool
yeah
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
say
start
digging
dirt
tomorrow,
but
until
till
I
know
how
all
these
hobbies
fit
together,
it's
hard
to
say:
yes,
you
know:
do
it
I
mean
I'm,
a
love,
the
library
I
mean?
E
That's,
that's
not
a
problem
for
me,
but
I
also
had
a
couple
questions
and
then
one
it
one
is
transportation
is
changing
so
much
I
mean
we
seem
like
we
focused
so
much
on
parking
and
parking
and
parking
and
and
then
you
look
at
uber
and
lyft
and
people
not
having
cars.
They
you
know
they
just
call
somebody
in
or
the
autonomous
vehicles
and
so
forth.
So
I
guess.
One
of
my
questions
would
be
it
if
and
I
seem
mr.
mccurdy
in
the
in
the
audience.
E
G
E
E
Really
appreciate
the
work
that's
been
done
and
like
the
idea,
the
consensual
site
plan
that
you
a
matter
of
huddle
as
we've
all
been
talking
about
how
to
how
do
we
fund
it.
I
know
that
that
doesn't
help
you
with
what
you
need
tonight
or
what
you're
asking
for
asking
for
terms
of
I
think
I
think
the
directions
there
is
the
commitment
to
funding
it's
a
challenge
sitting
up
here.
A
Just
as
a
quick
question
hasn't
as
a
giving
well
not
an
option,
the
tight
least
some
of
the
type
of
thinking,
let's
say
in
terms
of
this:
twenty
eight
million.
You
know
we
know
that
public
versus
then
is
going
to
have
too
much
that's
going
to
have
to
move
anyway.
But
let's
say:
if
we
had
twenty
eight
million
and
you've
got
six.
Let's
say
we
up
your
ante
of
private
funding
to
four
million
okay
and
then
you
we
got
us
down
to
ten
million
and
let's
say
we
float
a
note
for
ten
million.
A
F
If
you're
looking
at
a
20-year
bond,
if
you're
looking
at
a
20-year
bond,
the
rough
numbers
are,
you
know,
call
it
a
million.
Million-Two
is
debt
service,
and
then
it
gets
a
little
bit
cheaper.
If
you
push
it
out
to
the
debt
service
component,
the
annual
payment
gets
a
little
bit
less
over
30
30
years
would
be
possibly.
A
A
A
The
city,
if
that
was
a
city's
contribution,
as
opposed
to
the
library,
in
other
words
just
just
saying,
suggesting
hypothetically,
if
we
were
to
make
an
agreement
to
split
the
cost
with
the
library
board
and
the
library
board
was
responsible
for
10
million
and
a
payment
over
30
years,
and
we
were
responsible
for
10
million
with
the
payment
over
30
years.
What
might
that
look
like
you
know?
A
A
You
know:
that's
gonna,
give
you
a
sticker
shock
value,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
you're
able
to
pay
the
$1,100
a
month
or
whatever
it
is
mortgage
payment
for
taxes,
principal
insurance,
that's
also
the
number
that
you
need
to
be
under.
But
that's
the
one
that's
most
important
when
the
tire
hits
the
pavement
and
when
we're
remit,
you
know
looking
at
budgeting.
So
that's
what
that's
why
I
was
suggesting
that
it
wouldn't.
A
M
You
and
thank
you
for
the
clarification
I
was
having
trouble
following
that
for
a
minute.
Sorry,
yeah,
that's!
Okay!
Don't
like
me
at
the
craps
table,
so
I
guess
from
from
where
I
had
a
process.
Question
probably
for
Tim
here,
I
know
that
a
couple
slides
back
that
the
what
do
we
need
was
there
was
the
question
it
was
direction
and
commitment
to
funding
is
the
idea
from
this
conversation
to
come
back
with
some
resolutions
of
varying
forms
to
have
the
council
vote
on
yeah.
F
I
actually
think,
quite
simply,
both
this
topic
and
the
oniel
Park.
The
pool
discussion
is
going
to
be
one
that
really
in
six
months,
less
as
we're
putting
together
to
the
FY
2008
and
that
I'll
know.
You
know
if,
if
we're
able
to
fund
this
through
additional
revenues
that
were
somewhat
unexpected
and
I'm
gonna
be
able
to
deliver
in
it's
these
two
tonight,
because
they've
got
some
decisions
to
make.
F
It's
going
to
occur
as
the
2020
budget
takes
shape
over
the
course
of
the
winter
and
then
actually
as
I'm
projecting
out
what
is
21
22
23
look
like
you
know
where
my
revenue
is
trending,
where
my
expenses,
you
know,
also
do
I,
have
bond
debt,
that's
falling
off
and
I
pick
up.
You
know
an
annual
bond
debt
payment
of
500,000.
You
know
in
2021
it's
all
those
components
that
play
into
the
decisions.
F
You
know
that,
ultimately,
you
guys
will
be
making,
but
if
none
of
that
comes
together
and
it's
just
the
budget
taking
care
of
the
budget,
I'm
going
to
be
turning
to
the
library
and
I'm
going
to
be
saying,
pull
the
trigger
on
your
two
million
dollars
in
repair.
J
Tet
sloth
pulled
the
75
thousand
dollars
to
properly
repair
the
pool
and
put
that
thing
into
use
for
2019
going
forward.
M
Thank
you
and
thank
you
guys
for
for
your
presentation.
I
know
you've
done
this
a
number
of
times
in
varying
ways
and
asked
for
a
direction
and
gotten
some
of
it
and
sometimes
not
I
guess
you
know
I,
it's
very
difficult
for
me
to
weigh
in
and
what
I
think
is
the
best
course
of
action
from
the
three
drawings
that
I've
seen.
M
We've
decided
to
just
at
a
high
level
to
stick
where
we're
at,
and
that
has
some
pros
and
cons,
I
guess
from
a
resolution
standpoint
I'm
not
sure
any
direction
that
we'd
be
able
to
give
is
going
to
have
unanimous
support
up
here.
So
I'd
be
interested
to
see
what,
but
would
eventually
have
a
majority
and
I'm
not
asking
for
that.
M
M
Building
that
we
have
purview
over
and
if
given
a
choice
in
priorities,
I
would
be
more
focused
on
Neill
pool
which
may
not
open
next
year.
That
said,
I
don't
know
where
the
majority
this
council
will
fall
and
I
think
anything
any
time
we
can
get
it
in
writing
and
give
clear
direction
to
our
partners.
Is
good
perhaps
we
take
a
look
at
a
couple,
different
resolutions
and
commitments
and
get
some
public
feedback
based
on
those.
M
You
know,
I
I'm
sensitive
to
the
idea
that
these
conversations
have
taken
place
over
a
long
period
of
time,
many
I've
weighed
in
on
them,
but
as
we
start
to
get
closer
to
pulling
that
trigger,
it's
never
bad
to
get
some
feedback.
One.
Last
time
before
we
commit
cuz,
we
have
to
I,
don't
want
to
be
having
this
conversation
five,
five
years
from
now,
ten
years
from
now
etc,
because
I
feel,
like
we've,
been
talking
about
it,
at
least
for
the
last
five
years
that
I've
been
here
so
and
longer
yeah.
M
M
So
we
can
get
some
more
feedback,
not
only
from
the
board
recommendations,
public
recommendations
and
we
can
chop
that
around
because
this
is
gonna
be
a
tough
call
and
people
are
going
to
be
unhappy,
no
matter
what
we
do
so
we're
gonna
make
the
best
generational
commitment
for
the
city
and
that's
gonna
require
a
lot
of
information.
Thank
you
again.
A
Just
apologize
for
going
through
the
numbers,
very
hypothetical
and
very
quick
it's
just
if,
if
we
were
to
go
into
when
houses
are
for
sale,
if
a
realtor
says
hey,
you're,
gonna
have
to
pay
$300,000,
plus
a
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
in
interest.
This
is
a
four
twenty
five
thousand
dollar
home:
that's
not
how
they
advertise
it
and.
A
If
we
move
to
run
bunch
of
things
around
or
no,
if
we
scaled
some
things
back
or
if
we
said
hey,
no,
you
could
you
need
to
raise
four
million
dollars
and
if
we've
got
a
project
you
know,
maybe
we
can
figure
out
a
way
to
to
raise
four
million
dollars
on
something
tangible,
rather
than
two
million
dollars
on
something.
At
this
point,
that
seems
much
less
tangible,
and
so
that's
my
own.
It
may
turn
on
the
end
that
oh
never
mind.
A
We
can't
afford
that
either,
but
at
least
what
would
the
actual
bond
payment
be?
Do
we
have
retiring
bonds?
What
are
some
things
that
we
can
do,
because
this
is
definitely
another
thing
is,
do
you
have
any
information
and
if
not
I
can
find
it
out
for
you
through
my
colleagues
and
econ
departments,
but
for
it
for
the
economic
development
benefits
of
libraries,
particularly
those
adjacent
to,
if
not
in
downtown's,
I,.
N
A
Champagne,
yes,
champagne,
yeah,
nothing!
This
is
not
your
fault,
but
champagnes
is
a
core
part
of
their
downtown
and
it's
a
real
big
asset
and
champagnes
very
similar
to
us.
And
yes,
you
know
it
has
a
library
that
we
could
expire
to
crane.
H
I
know
there
was
the
decision
not
to
have
the
conversation
at
this
point
in
time
about
relocating
the
library
to
the
downtown
area,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
was
understood
that
by
choosing
not
to
have
that
conversation,
we've
missed
some
opportunities
in
terms
of
what
could
be
done
because,
obviously,
in
this
particular
site
we
are
going
to
struggle
to
meet
the
parking
required
on
a
code.
Maybe
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
say
okay
at
a
time
and
we
can
live
without
it.
But
that's
the
trade-off.
H
We're
making
by
keeping
it
in
this
current
location
and
it's
potentially
a
trade-off
that
have
could
have
a
negative
impact
both
on
users
in
the
library
and
on
the
residential
area.
But
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
do
is
I
wanted
to
follow
up
by
a
comment
from
Scott
cuz
I
thought
it
was
very
well
put
and
gets
to
my
feedback
in
terms
of
what
I
hope
we
can
do
moving
forward,
because
I
want
to
see
the
library
succeed.
I
agree
with
Karen's
comment
that
our
community
deserves
a
jewel
of
a
library.
We
really
do.
H
The
current
facilities
is
not
adequate
for
what
our
community
needs
and
I
completely
agree
with
that.
Wisconsin
reference
to
this
is
a
that.
We
have
many
difficult
choices,
and
this
is
a
difficult
choice.
What
I
would
ask
from
you
is
make
this
choice,
easy
for
us
or
put
the
other
way,
make
it
harder
for
us
to
say
no
bring
us
a
proposal.
H
That
is
a
viable
proposal
that
meets
the
needs
that
have
been
expressed
in
the
visioning
study
show
us
that
it
complies
with
all
of
those
things
that
it
is
a
good
project
and
one
that
meets
what
the
public
have
told
you.
It
means
bring
us
a
project
and
explain
to
us
how
it
fits
into
our
comprehensive
plan.
How
does
this
fit
into
our
comprehensive
plan?
Is
this
aligned
with
what
we
want
to
achieve
as
a
community
bring
us
a
project
that
partners
with
other
entities?
H
So
we
can
reduce
the
amount
of
public
money,
that's
required
for
the
project
and
find
a
way
to
find
funding
outside
of
of
property
taxes
and
tax
dollars,
because
I
I'm
gonna
be
pretty
frank
with
you,
a
fifteen
million
dollar
project
over
30
years,
I.
Don't
think
we
can
say
yes
to
that,
no
matter
how
much
I
want
to
I.
H
Don't
think
we're
ever
going
to
be
at
to
the
point
where
we
can
say
yes
to
it
not
now
and
not
when
it
would
mean
saying
to
other
Institute
institutions
and
entities
in
town
that
that
means
they
get
nothing
because
every
10
million
dollars
we
spend
here
is
ten
million
dollars.
We're
not
spending
to
revitalize
downtown
and
downtown
needs.
Our
help
right
now
so
bring
us
a
project
that
meets
the
comp
plan,
the
vision
study
and
bring
us
a
project
where
you
can
tell
us.
We
know
we
can
raise
X
amount
of
dollars.
H
I
know
right
now,
you're
doing
an
estimate.
You
think
you
can
raise
ten
million
two
million
dollars-
sorry
ten
million
way
better,
but
but
show
us
that
there
would
be
that
private
support
for
this
project
show
us
that
you've
done
public
hearings.
You've
done
things
in
the
public
is
really
backing
it
and
saying
to
us
that
this
is.
H
C
Have
done
that
I
mean
that
is
we
we
started
this
three
years
ago.
We
did
a
series
of
things
we
came
up.
We've
done
several
studies.
We
responded
to
council
input,
we've
gone
back,
we've
elaborated.
We
have
done
a
lot
of
that
and
some
of
this
to
a
certain
extent,
it
is
very,
very
difficult
to
go
forward
and
give
firm
ideas
on
fundraising
when
we
have
absolutely
no
idea
of
what
we're
actually
fundraising
for
I
mean
this
is
something
you
know,
and
it
really.
C
It
would
be
great
to
go
out
and
say:
okay,
let's
get
an
actual
building
plan,
but
that
is
going
to
cost
even
more
money.
We're
trying
to
be
really
responsible.
Stewards,
we've
spent,
quite
frankly
a
bit
more
money
than
I'm
comfortable
with,
as
as
board
president
in
in
doing
repeatedly
again
study
after
study.
You
know
we,
if
you
go
back
to
2000
I,
think
we've
we've
done
an
enormous
amount
of
effort
as
a
board,
even
in
the
last
three
years,
an
enormous
amount
of
effort
as
a
board.
Some
of
that.
C
Yes,
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
start
a
firm,
fundraising
plan,
but
given
that
right
now,
unless
and
until
council
comes
to
a
decision
as
to
what
the
priorities
are
and
I
understand
that
that's
not
easy,
but
it
is
very,
very
difficult
to
move
forward
on
that.
You
know
it
has
been
done
to
a
limited
extent
in
other
areas
in
the
city
and
that
has
somewhat
stalled.
Thinking
of
the
cultural
district.
The
the
former
doctor's
office.
C
Center,
thank
you,
you
know
it
is.
It
is
difficult.
I
mean
they
raised
a
fair
amount
of
money,
that's
stalled
and
that
still
has
not
gone
anywhere.
I
mean
we
want
to
do
this
properly.
We
want
to
do
it
right.
We
think
we've
brought
a
very
good
plan
and
we
believe
that
the
library
is
part
of
downtown.
It's
not
part
of
what
has
now
been
redefined
as
the
core,
but
it
is
downtown.
C
It
is
central
and
it's
accessible
to
the
majority
of
our
community
and
and
it's
a
good
building,
it's
a
solid
building,
and
we
think
that
this
is
a
solid
plan
following
council
direction.
That
is
fiscally
responsible.
I'd,
also
like
to
point
out
that
it
is
not
again
unless
you're
rolling
in
things
that
need
to
be
done,
as
both
the
mayor
and
the
city
manager
have
pointed
out
for
Public
Works
you're
rolling
that
into
the
overall
cost,
with
the
debt
cost.
C
That
really
is
something
that's
got
to
happen,
regardless
of
whether
the
library
expands
doesn't
expand,
expands
here
or
move
somewhere
else.
That
does
need
to
be
done
somewhere
down.
The
road
I
don't
think
it's
sort
of
sensible
to
say:
okay,
that's
something
that
gets
stuck
in
the
libraries
category
and
some
of
that
you
know,
as
as
mayor
Renner
pointed
out,
you
know.
Realistically
we
can
do
this
fairly
easily
from
a
not
moving
and
I'm,
not
suggesting
that
we
don't
move
Public
Works
down
the
road,
but
right
now,
yeah
with
the
plan
that
is,
is
proposed.
A
N
You
know
a
library
of
the
caliber
that
you're
running
is
an
incredible
value
proposition
for
our
community
and
and
so
I
would
say
that
I'm
very
supportive
of
of
that
value,
proposition
and
of
finding
ways
and
creative
ways
in
which
we
can
continue
to
support
you
and
I
think
just
speaking
in
a
very
brief
manner.
I'll
say
that
I
think
that
the
numbers
are
speaking
to
to
me
in
particular
and
I
think
to
others
we're
in
until
our
revenues
are
coming
in
with
some
more
positive
projections
and
we're
hoping
for
that
soon.
N
There's
a
reticence
to
to
actually
go
ahead
and
check
the
box
and
say
go
forward
with
the
aggressive
project,
but
I'll
share
with
you
I'm,
very
supportive
of
your
work
and
I
appreciate
your
common
sense
approach
here.
Staying
in
your
current
location
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
The
city's
already
invested
in
in
that
for,
for
your
benefit
by
procuring
the
properties
that
are
just
to
your
south,
and
you
know,
I,
just
I'm,
just
very
excited
about
the
opportunities
that
are
presented
here
for
our
community
to
really
have
that
jewel
that
that
I
think
we
deserve.
E
You
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
feel
you've
done
the
homework.
To
present
this.
To
us,
I
mean
that
the
the
community
outreach
that's
been
done
so
I
I
would
I
would
be
comfortable
if
we
can
find
a
funding
source
to
you
know
no
more
public
hearings,
no
more
surveys,
no
more
just
going
forth
and
and
letting
you
start
yeah.
A
A
You
thank
you
Jeannie
Thank,
You,
Jillian
appreciate
we
move
next
to
a
presentation
and
discussion
of
the
O'neal
Park
renovation
rejuvenation
actually
excuse
me,
including
a
new
Aquatic
Center,
as
requested
by
parks
and
recreation
and
cultural
arts
department
and
I'm,
going
to
turn
this
over
to
our
city
manager.
Mr.
Gleason
Thank.
F
You
mayor,
this
is
also
an
opportunity
to
update
counsel
and
the
work
that's
been
completed
since
the
last
time.
This
was
presented
to
council
by
parsed
director
J
Tesla,
taking
the
opportunity
to
share
the
possibilities
of
a
new,
larger
Aquatic
Center
versus
the
bare
minimum.
If
the
pools
deal
to
open
in
2019
again,
I
guess
I'll,
just
repeat
this
one
more
time.
The
reason
that
J
is
here
and
and
Geney
just
did
complete
is
both
instances.
F
There's
decisions
that
have
to
be
made
and
again
not
asking
for
direction
from
Council
tonight,
but
because
it'd
be
unfair,
you
don't
know
what
the
finances
look
like.
So
over
the
course
of
preparing
the
2020
budget.
You
know
I'm
going
to
have
an
idea
of
what
that
looks
like
again,
project
out
a
year
or
two
beyond
that,
but
that's
a
window
for
both
of
these
entities
that
they've
got
to
make
some
decisions
and
we'll
be
able
to
provide
that
direction.
Given
our
financial
outlook,
J.
J
C
Gonna
go
through
much
of
the
presentation.
I
gave
last
time,
I'm
gonna
cut
to
the
chase
and
a
lot
more.
But
what
where
we're
at
is
still
it's
still
a
45
year
old
pool,
that's
made
of
aluminum
aluminum
pools
last,
usually
around
25,
so
we're
running
out
of
gum
and
duct
tape
to
keep
that
pool
running.
So
we
already
have
closed
the
kiddie
pool.
That's
been
closed
for
two
years
now,
so
it's
the
larger
pool
that
we're
talking
about
not
we're
not
even
trying
to
bring
back
the
kiddie
pool,
so
it
really
is
a
fixer-upper.
C
Inspection,
thank
you.
This
is
gonna,
be
a
rough
night
I
can't
where
inspection.
So
we
had
our
state
inspection
that
came
through
and
listed
all
these,
but
the
last
two
and
said
you
cannot
open
without
these
fixes.
So
we
estimate
these
are
between
seventy
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
worth
of
repairs,
of
which
pretty
much
none
of
them
with
we
can
recoup
or
last
the
diving
board,
maybe
might
go
to
use
on
a
new
pool
the
drain
mandate.
That's
a
straight!
C
We
have
to
the
diving
boards
or
r2
that
we
have
to
replace.
We
won't
replace
both
diving
boards,
we'll
just
replace
one,
so
we'll
only
have
one
for
the
current
year,
but
well
we're
still
replaced
the
main
pipe
to
the
pool.
We
probably
will
not
do
the
leaks
behind
the
showers
and
we
do
not
need
the
decking
or
the
flow
meter.
C
So
knowing
if
this
could
be
the
last
year
obviously
brings
the
costs
way
down
and
we're
very
thankful
for
the
state's
working
with
us,
but
that
would
require
a
letter
from
myself
and
I
would
ask
Tim
to
be
part
of
that
letter.
Writing
to
the
state
saying
this
is
what
we're
gonna
do
moving
for
for
the
2019,
but
that's
only
if
we
get
here
that
this
is
the
last
year
for
O'neill,
so
big
concept
for
the
park.
What
is
you
guys
have
seen
this
before?
C
But
this
is
the
generality
of
where
we
want
to
go
with
this
park.
So
it
really
is
a
total
park
rejuvenation.
It
is
not
just
the
Aquatic
Center,
so
I'll
get
into
a
little
bit
more
I
tried
to
break
it
down
a
little
bit
more
because
it's
actually
south
of
the
baseball
field
is
what
we're
really
talking
about
in
terms
of
rejuvenating
O'neill
Park
to
the
bottom
left
is
the
future
side
of
the
pool.
The
Aquatic,
Center
and
I'll
show
another
picture
of
that.
C
Also
removing
the
three
tennis
courts
we're
putting
back
one
tennis
court
in
for
pickleball
pickleball
is
the
the
big
sport
right
now,
but
that's
in
a
second
phase.
So
that's
not
in
the
first
piece
of
the
project
has
playground
skatepark
as
part
of
it
as
well
so
pool
concepts
with
flume
rides
with
a
spray
park,
laser
river
and
the
opportunity
to
grow
this
in
the
future.
C
C
Excuse
me,
the
free
park
would
be
open
to
outside.
If
the
Aquatic
Center
is
closed,
so,
for
example,
pools
will
typically
close
around
Labor
Day
September
15th,
it's
a
nice
warm
day,
the
neighbors
the
whole
citizens.
The
community
can
come
and
still
use
the
spray
park.
Much
like
they
do
at
Miller
Tipton
in
McGraw.
C
What
else
does
with
the
aquatics?
It's
not
like.
So
it's
just
not
the
Aquatic
Center,
a
large
skatepark
sidewalks,
which
are
in
dire
need
of
being
replaced.
New
playground
I'll
get
into
that
a
little
bit
at
the
end
more
parking,
because,
as
we
build
a
clock,
Center
that's
going
to
have
more
people
attending.
We
need
weed
more
for
parking
in
the
spray
park,
the
things
that
we
hope
to
add-
and
this
would
be
in
phase
2,
so
the
next.
We
could
all
do
this
in
one,
but
we
wanted
to
keep
it
around
that
$10,000,000
mark.
C
We
didn't
want
to
expand
too
much.
These
are
pieces
like
the
bottom
right
with
the
nature
play
area.
That
is
something
our
foresters,
I
think
would
probably
have
fun
with
that,
with
the
amount
of
trees
that
we
remove
in
a
given
year,
I
think
they
I
think
they
would
have
fun
building
a
nature
play
area
for
our
citizens.
C
C
So
in
this
concept
we
moved
the
new
playground
over
closer
to
share
shared
in
elementary,
so
this
playground
will
go
away
and
it's
about
a
hundred
feet
from
the
school
premises
just
needed
across
the
street,
and
it's
pretty
much
right
there
and
we've
already
received
the
check
from
district
87
I
signed
the
contract.
They
will
purchase
this
playground.
Parks
and
Rec
will
install
it
probably
late
summer.
Next
year
we
we
have
a
blue
theme
for
it
being
an
akai
phim
with
the
Aquatic
Center
and
I
can't
write
this.
C
It's
the
Sheridan
sharks
and
their
colors
are
blue
and
white.
So
perfect
story
to
that,
but
they've
been
a
great
partnership
for
us
and
again,
like
I,
said
they've
rewritten
the
check
for
us
and
we've
already
in
essence,
bought
the
equipment
with
the
state
of
the
grants
that
we
receive
in
October
same
with
harmony.
Park
is
something
we
will
sign
a
contract
once
I
pick
a
color
for
the
floor,
I'm
sorry
I'm
a
little
stuck,
but
because
of
that
project,
which
is
most
that's
privately
raised,
we
were
able
to
get
this
project
at
half
the.
C
C
F
Mayor
a
couple
of
things,
real,
quick
just
add,
I
was
going
to
ask
Jay
on
your
recovery
rate.
You
know,
even
though
you're
gonna
have
additional
cost
with
the
larger
project
like
this.
What
is
the
bottom
line
under
both
those
scenarios?
Currently,
what
is
the
lost
our
amount
and
then
what
do
you
project
the
lost?
Our
amount
would
be
if
we
made
this
investment
to
a
larger
project.
If.
F
Then
number
actually
comes
down,
at
least
in
the
projection.
Another
thing
to
bring
a
little
bit
of
clarity
before
council
starts
a
discussion.
Is
we
know
that
we
need
to
make
a
decision?
You
know
again,
it
would
be
unfair
to
ask
for
direction
tonight,
because
you
don't
know
what
the
numbers
are.
The
funding,
but
one
thing
that
Jay
staff
has
worked
out.
F
What
the
state
is,
if
somehow
this
was
to
rise
on
the
level
of
priorities
for
the
city,
they
would
allow
the
just
the
band-aid
of
all
band
aids
repair
for
the
pool
to
open
in
2019,
that's
at
under
$10,000
number.
That
J
was
mentioning
because
they
know
that
in
order
to
open,
even
if
we
were
not
to
start
this
in
calendar
year,
let's
say
twenty,
twenty
or
twenty.
Twenty-One
that
investment
to
open
the
pool
in
2019
that
seventy
five
thousand
dollar
repair
would
be
something
that
would
be
wasted
money.
F
So
that's
why
I
think
the
state
would
consider
that
if
they
felt
that
there
was
a
reasonable
expectation
that
this
larger
project
might
occur.
The
purpose
for
this
tonight
update
some
new
information
also
to
share
the
partnership
that
we've
got.
Jade
works
very
well
with
dr.
Barry
Riley
with
district
87,
which
is
definitely
a
win,
and
also
we
see
potential
impacts.
If,
if
this
is
something
that's
chosen
and
somehow
we
were
able
to
find
the
funding
source
also
positively
impacts,
one
of
the
main
corridors
into
our
community
and
that's
Market
Street.
H
C
If
we
were
given
the
green
light,
the
first
thing
we
have
to
do
is
go
out
and
hire
an
architect,
and
we
were
guessing,
probably
probably
takes
six
to
eight
months
for
design
and
probably
six
months
for
construction,
so
we
probably
would
I
would
probably
say
we
would
lose
if
we
are
2019
was
we
were
open
for
19
for
next
year.
I
would
say
we
probably
be
closed
for
20
more
than
likely,
if
we
can
design
and
break
around
the
second,
we
get
to
say
maybe
even
August.
C
C
H
H
C
I
Thank
You
Jay
I
know
previously.
When
we
talked
about
this.
One
of
the
real
eye-opening
figures
for
me
was
the
current
cost
for
a
family
membership.
You
know
what
I
think
the
projected
cost
would
be
for
them
for
a
new
Aquatic
Center,
and,
and
can
you
refresh
my
memory
as
to
as
to
what
those
are
because
it
was
substantially
higher
for
your
for
your
average
family
of
four
or
whatever
it's
you
know.
C
I
C
Right
now
it's
about
30,
and
we
would
this
what
we
use
for
projection
of
those
50
and
that
would
but
we
would
also
have
the
lower
tiered
membership
or
passes
how
I
should
price
it
then
for
holiday.
So
if
you
wanted
the
only
holiday
pool,
you
could
go
to
that
pool
with
probably
around
that
$30
mark
still,
but
for
O'neil
we
felt
with
what
we're
having
here
that
$50
was
a
fair
amount.
A
That's
$60
for
the
whole
season
correct
or
a
family
paper;
first
left
per
person
per
per
person;
okay,
I'm!
Sorry,
okay,
thank
you
because
I
was
going
to
say
even
when
my
kids
were
younger,
which
is
a
long
ago
when
we
would
do
a
fair
view
pass,
which
is
what
they
liked.
It
was
well
over
$100
just
for
the
three
of
us.
So
anyway,
all
the
manila
want
with
it
one.
K
Question
I
haven't
I
know
you
talked
about
being
able
to
attract
people
from
the
interstate
you
know
coming
into
the
community,
so
I
I,
it's
not
that
I'm
being
skeptical
but
I
myself.
Personally,
a
so
I'd
like
to
understand
you
know
what
exactly
is
going
to
attract.
Let's
say
somebody
who
doesn't
live
into
the
community
to
go
to
the
Aquatic
Center,
because
that's
not
something
that
I
would
saw
for
myself
personally.
I
think.
C
You
would
be
surprised
in
my
people
who
bypass
our
pools
and
go
to
Fairview
in
normal
and
in
my
opinion
this
will
surpass
them,
so
those
people
who
drive
into
town
will
come
to
O'neill
versus
going
to
Fairview.
I
will
say
that
that's
true
for
my
family,
my
true
my
family,
my
wife,
I'll,
say
hat
feels
committed.
She
needs
to
go
to
the
Bloomington
pools,
so
she
does,
but
they
also
go
to
the
Fairview
to
enjoy
what
they
have
at
Fairview
and.
K
Then
another
question
that
I
was
thinking
about
is
I.
Have
we
thought
about
maybe
indoor
options,
because
one
of
the
things
about
you
know
the
concept,
the
concept
of
pools,
I'm
happy
that
you're
having
more
stuff
in
there.
You
know
for
people
to
do
outside,
but
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
a
little
bit
concerned
about
what
the
cost
you
know.
Seeing
that
it
would
be
ten
million
dollars
was
the
fact
that
it
would
only
be
used
for
a
very
specific
period
of
time
from
what
Morial
Day
to
Labor
Day
I.
K
Guess
so
have
you
thought
about
indoor?
You
know
I
I
know
there
are
other
indoor
uses
or
there
are
other
individuals,
for
example,
who
go
to
Grand
Bear
Lodge,
you
know
or
Wisconsin
Dells
is
another
one.
So
I
had
to
me
I
see
that
as
a
loss
for
the
community
for
people
to
go
and
recreate
in
those
areas,
because
you
know
because
it's
not
available
here,
so
it's
just
right
just
kind
of
thinking
about
those
things.
So
the.
C
Comparison,
we
did
ask
Marcus
Alton's
when
we
were
putting
this
together
if
to
just
try
and
keep
it
apples
to
apples.
So
the
Aquatic
Center
that
we
have
here
that
we've
proposed
is
6.1
million.
That's
just
the
Aquatic
Center.
If
we
were
to
do
that
same
pool
indoors,
13
points
almost
13.8
so
and
we
didn't
that
was
outside
their
scope
to
run
one
of
the
cost
you
know
of
of
maintaining,
because
the
cost
will
go
way
up.
C
K
Thank
you
and
I
and
I
would
say
you
know
just
like
has
been
said
before
in
regards
to
the
previous
item,
the
the
library
you
know,
the
the
finances
are
something
that
I
you
know
would
take
a
look
at
very
closely
because
knowing
that
I
looked
at
our
annual
obligations,
you
know
it
looks
like
we're.
Gonna
see
some
decreases
down
the
line.
I
think
it
dropped
significantly
around.
You
know
FY
2026
I
believe,
but
you
know
with
that
said:
I,
don't
know
what
kind
of
commitments
we're
going
to
have.
K
E
E
Is
there?
Are
there
opportunities
in
reconceptualizing
this
whole
park
area
by
sort
of
what
we're
talking
about
it
with
the
library
of
taking
the
pool
and
and
doing
the
nests?
You
know
those
kinds
of
necessary,
renovations
and
beginning
to
layer
on
an
aquatic
park
or
more
of
an
aquatic
park,
leaving
it
where
it
is
because
it
sounds
like
we're.
You
know
we're
I
mean
we're
really
redesigning
the
whole
space
of
O'neill.
C
C
It
gets
us
open
so
right
now
the
state
is
saying
you
have
to
do
the
diving
boards.
We
know
we
have
to
do
the
main
pipe,
so
we
think
we
can
get
in
the
state
of
said
we
can
get
by
for
one
year
for
only
do
it
one
year.
If,
if
we
run
the
numbers-
and
we
can't
make
it
work
and
we're
going
to
open
the
current
pool
in
2020,
then
we
need
to
go
back
and
do
all
of
this.
That's
what
the
state
has
told
us
and.
E
C
E
C
E
E
C
I
mean
we
have.
We
have
amenities
that
we
have
as
part
of
the
Kroc
Center
and
we
have
opportunities
to
expand,
but
what's
there
for
the
Kroc
Center,
so
adding
more
flume
rides
adding
more
a
lazy
river
and
then
adding
more
that
top
left
is
really
fairly
open
and
then,
on
the
park
side,
the
tennis
courts,
the
tennis
court,
pickleball
courts,
basketball
courts
that
nature
player.
That's
like
a
another
phase
next
base-
and
you
know
some
things
we
might
be
able
to
do
like
I
said
that
nature
play.
C
M
You
and
thanks
for
putting
the
presentation
on
and
and
having
this
conversation,
I
guess.
My
question
is
very
similar
to
what
I
asked
the
last
time
on
process
from
here.
Are
we
going
to
be
expecting
a
resolution
to
come
back
for
next
year's
about
what
we
want
to
do,
whether
it
be
maintain
what
we
have
start
the
process
to
you
know
with
the
cost
estimates
new
construction?
How
will
that
look
for
us.
F
Hope
this
answers
the
question
and,
if
not
I'll,
take
another
swing
at
it
again.
Why
these
two
rose
to
this
levels?
They
have
immediate
needs.
I
know
it's
unfair
to
ask
Council
for
direction
at
night,
because
we
really
don't
know
how
our
twenty
finances
and,
probably,
more
importantly,
projecting
out
two
to
five
additional
years.
How
that
looks,
I
think
the
next
step
and
also
I'll
share
this.
You
know,
while
we
need
to
update
our
capital
projects
and
need
to
present
need
to
be
aware
of,
you
know
what
that
wish
list.
F
If
you
will
is
out
there,
I
don't
want
that
to
become
an
exercise
in
futility,
if
we
just
don't
have
the
funding
and
we
create
that
expectation
or
plant
that
seed
in
the
community
that
there
are
these
additional
things
that
we
can
do
so
that
the
next
steps
on
this
one
are
again
sort
of
a
wait
and
see
how
we're
shaping
up
and
we're
getting
every
month.
It
goes
by
we're
getting
a
clearer
picture
of
how
we
are
looking
currently
and
projecting
going
forward.
M
Thank
you.
So
when
we
have
these
sorts
of
conversations
at
our
to
share
my
thought
to
give
staff
the
direction
you
know
if
given
a
priority,
choice
or
Neill
pool,
would
be
higher
to
me
than
library
at
this
point
in
time,
maybe
a
little
bit
biased,
but
spending
the
summer
in
zone
eel
pool
a
lot
of
residents
hang
out
there
and
are
there
frequently-
and
this
isn't
just
kids
with
families-
is
just
neighbors
who
live
nearby
and
you
know
the
pool
is
means
needs
to
be
replaced.
I
mean
there's
no
secret.
M
If
you
go
in
there,
it's
not
it's,
not
a
premier
facility.
When
we
did
our
neighborhood
meeting
last
summer.
You
know
we
had
a
number
of
residents
come
out
and
you
know
full-throated
support
love
to
have
you
know
the
kids
playing
over
there.
The
benefits
you
know,
youth,
you
had
them
listed
there
earlier.
You
know.
Take
your
pick
on
why
it's
worthy
of
investment.
M
It's
gonna
be
very
difficult
for
us
to
go
back
to
the
people
who
use
the
pool
very
frequently
and
just
say
we're
not
doing
something
or
there's
no
plan
in
place.
I
think
it
would
be
like
lighting
a
stack
of
money
on
fire
if
we
were
to
invest
the
big
dollars
now
to
extend
the
life
for
some
unknown
period
of
time.
M
What
I
would
consider
to
be
in
no
offense
to
Jay
just
a
pool
that
doesn't
provide
the
best
experience
for
our
residents
and-
and
this
is
an
opportunity
it
may
not
have
the
wave
pool
that
that
I
was
hoping
for
I,
grew
up
in
a
way,
that's
something
in
a
way
full,
so
I'm,
biased
in
that
regard
too.
But
this
head
this
could
be
and
should
be
a
premier
facility
in
an
area
that
needs
the
investment
that
has
a
lot
of
different
impacts,
both
economic
development,
wise
for
the
restaurants
that
are
Margaret,
Street,
I'm
envisioning.
M
You
know
kind
of
one
of
those
like
road
signs.
Maybe
some
billboards,
you
know,
stop
by
O'neal
pool.
You
know
attractions
in
the
community
on
the
interstate
that
people
can
pull
off,
for
you
know,
maybe
a
partner
at
the
CVB
to
see
how
we
can
market
this
in
a
more
aggressive
way,
because
anytime
can
get
people
to
come
to
West
Bloomington.
M
It
dispels
a
lot
of
myths
that
I
think
are
out
there
that
are
totally
unfair,
totally
unjustified
and
it's
good
for
our
community
and
we
if
we
can
find
a
way
to
fund
this,
which
I
think
that
we
can
this
project
to
me.
It
rises
to
the
top
and
is
worthy
of
our
time.
Investment
and
energy,
and
the
sooner
we
can
get
ground,
broken
I
think
the
better
for
the
whole
community.
M
L
You
I
just
need
clarification
on
a
couple
of
things.
Is
it
correct
that
if
we
just
replace
the
pool,
if
it
is,
that
would
cost
six
million
dollars
if.
C
C
C
A
They
actually
Scott
touched
on
this,
and
many
others
did
in
terms
of
the
economic
development.
I
think
we're
also-
and
it's
certainly
true,
that
if
we
have
bring
people
to
the
west
side,
that's
all
important
but
I
think
there's
another
component
that
that
needs
to
be
stated
at
least
for
the
record,
and
then
I
will
turn
to
all
the
woman
Bray's.
What
I
didn't
notice
until
just
now-
and
that
is
if
you
have
something
that
is
an
attraction
it's
going
to
have
economic
spillover.
A
So
for
the
neighborhood,
and
it's
gonna
by
that
I
mean
the
the
value
of
property
around
the
neighborhood,
the
extent
to
which
people
are
willing
to
invest
in
their
own
properties
or
to
purchase
the
neighbor
that
you
know
to
purchase
properties
or
to
invest
in
that,
as
well
as
frankly,
juveniles,
the
one
that,
when
I
guess
US
Conference
of
Mayors.
There
are
also
always
multiple
panels
on
at-risk
youth
summer,
job
programs
or
keeping
people
during
the
summer
active.
A
N
The
I
look
at
the
value
proposition
now
of
the
of
this
Aquatic
Center
that's
been
proposed,
and
one
thing
that
continues
to
concern
me
is
that
the
use
period
I
think
some
folks
have
spoken
to
that.
Is
it's
a
very
narrow
use
period.
So
can
we
just
focus
on
that
for
a
moment
and
think
about
is?
Is
there
a
way
to
extend
the
use
period
because
you
know
I
think
about?
N
N
Very
few
amenities,
dis,
grasses
and
people
walk
and-
and
it's
very
used
year-round,
so
we're
in
this
plan
is
something
that
could
pass.
Is
there
something
already
in
this
plan
that
is
kind
of
lower
maintenance,
lower
cost
or
it
could
potentially
introduce
something
like
that
into
this
plan?
That
would
substitute
something
that
was
more
costly,
maybe
to
bring
this
down
and
then
get
it
more
into
a
year-round
usage
part
because
it
seems
very
summer
specific
to
me
and.
C
A
lot
of
our
parks
are
what
I
would
say
is,
with
the
exception
of
the
Aquatic
Center.
A
lot
of
the
park
could
be
used.
You
know
people
were
playing
the
Miller
on
Miller
playground
today,
so
we
can
get
down
to
the
you
know.
20S
and
30s
people
still
go
to
a
playground.
There's
lots
of
sidewalks
in
and
out,
and
that's
an
idea
too,
is
that
people
can
get
out
into
the
park
and
just
walk
on
the
sidewalks
s
Trail.
In
essence,
it's
something
that
we
with
the
parks
master
plan.
We've
talked
a
lot
about.
C
How
can
we
connect
our
parks?
Better
O'neal
to
white
oak
is
what
usually
the
first
one
that
comes
up.
You
know
the
basketball
courts
scape
the
skate
park
is
used
a
lot
if
there's
not
snow
on
the
ground,
it's
pretty
uncommon
not
to
have
somebody
at
the
skate
park.
Mid-Afternoon
so
I
think
with
exceptional
Aquatic.
Center
baseball
softball
goes
more
than
just
the
summer,
so
I
believe
that,
with
the
exception
of
the
clock,
Center
I
think
a
lot
of
that
Park
would
be
utilized.
L
N
That
you
believe
that
this
this
project
would
be
a
revenue,
raiser
and
pay
for
itself
in
some
part.
Is
there
a
way
to
look
at
this
and
if
we
just
explore
that
further
at
a
time
when
we're
trying
to
cover
cost
as
much
as
possible,
what
if
anything
in
this
project
could
represent
that
75,000,
so
that
this
would
be
lack
of
a
better
term,
a
wash.
C
Looking
at
one
of
the
things
not
knowing
how
much
right
now,
we've
got
a
the
skate
park,
so
the
parking
lot
will
would
require
moving
the
skate
park
and
our
idea
initially
was
to
build,
bigger
and
better
skate
park
with
it
being
really
the
only
true
one
in
the
community.
Well,
we
probably
would
do
and
really
by
the
seat
of
my
pants
here,
I
would
probably
say
we
would
just
put
in
the
we'd
move
everything
that
we
have
now
move
the
ramps
and
all
the
amenities
out
to
the
new
site.
C
And
then
we
come
back
and
redo,
because
I
want
to
like
concrete
bowls
and
really
do
what
a
skatepark
should
be.
Not
just
the
ramps,
and
things
like
that.
So
one
things
we
could
do
is
just
move
the
current
stuff
out
there
to
the
new
site
and
not
do
the
concrete
bowls
and
come
back
and
do
that
later.
At.
K
Boy
had
a
couple
last
last
minute
things
I
know
you
know,
thank
you
for
bringing
up
the
the
extending
of
the
use.
Hey
one
of
the
things
I've.
Never
really
understood
is
why
do
poles
have
to
close
on
Labor
Day,
and
is
that
because
of
the
labor
that
we
use
students
when.
C
School
starts
because
almost
all
of
our
lifeguards
are
in
school,
whether
it's
high
school
or
college,
the
visitation
drops.
So
when
school
starts
we
go
to
late
afternoon
or
weekends
and
as
because
staffing
there's
fewer
and
fewer
people
who
want
to
be
lifeguard.
So
you
know
that
be
a
message
to
the
a
particular
neighborhood
when
we
get
going
with
us
is
really.
If
you
want
a
job,
we'll
train
you
how
to
be
a
lifeguard.
C
There
is
a
huge
demand
for
that
normal
had
that
issue
two
years
ago,
where
they
were
closing
their
pools,
often
because
they
didn't
have
enough
staff
to
run
it.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
we.
We
have
to
have
enough
staff
to
open,
and
if
we
are,
if
we're
open
during
the
midday
during
school,
we
probably
male
staff
it
and
the
amount
of
people
would
come,
would
wouldn't
wind
pay
for
it.
Okay,
so
okay.
K
Sounds
good
and
then
one
of
the
thing
I
wanted
to
bring
up
too
is
and
I
know.
I
think
all
the
men
say
alluded
to
it
earlier
is
the
notion
of
access.
You
know,
with
this
being
on
the
west
side
and
and
I.
You
know,
I
haven't
made
up
my
mind
yet,
but
I
think
I
want
to
make
sure
that
this
remains
in
the
conversation
you
know
as
you're,
considering
what
options
in
or
how
to
work
on
this,
because
I
certainly
would
not
want
people
to
be
priced
out
right.
K
You
know
of
I
mean
if
you
know
you're
talked
about,
you
know
juveniles
and
you
know,
but
also
people,
you
know
from
lower
socioeconomic
economic
backgrounds.
I
really
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
everybody
in
the
community
has
access
to
it
that
it
doesn't
become
so
pricey
that
they
couldn't.
You
know
yeah.
C
About
that
stuff,
at
least
weekly,
if
not
daily,
about
all
of
our
programs,
all
the
stuff
that
we
do,
we
want
we're
looking
at
cost
recovery,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
we're
not
out
pricing
the
folks
who
use
it
and
we've
there's
times
where
we've
we've
added
the
price
of
a
program
and
we
see
a
big
drop
and
we
drop
the
price
back
down.
So
we
understand
we
hear
we
hear
what
you're
saying
and
it's
something
we
all
we've
talked
about
already
and
it
will
continue
as
we
move
forward.
Thank.
K
A
A
A
F
Thank
You
mayor
this
is
my
city
managers
report
that
I
do
every
month,
but
this
is
a
three-month
report
and
there
was
an
expectation
of
council
that,
as
the
new
city
manager
explore
what
opportunities
there
might
be
and
make
a
reporting
back
at
three
months.
So
that's
exactly
what
I'm
doing
hidden
some
of
the
highlights
versus
trying
to
explain
and
share
everything.
That's
going
on,
and
here
we
go
Public
Works
and
water
department
reorganization.
F
This
was
an
opportunity
that
presented
itself
through
the
reorganization.
The
following
will
occur:
creation
of
an
assistant
public
works,
director,
elimination
of
a
water
department,
director
creation
of
an
Operations
Manager,
the
elimination,
and
it's
not
up
there,
but
the
elimination
of
a
superintendent
of
water
distribution,
increased
efficiency,
improved
customer
service
and
improved
one-stop
shop
experience
for
the
citizens.
There
will
be
no
layoffs
as
a
result
of
this,
and
there
will
be
an
ongoing
annual
savings
of
in
excess
of
$250,000
diving
into
this
a
little
bit
deeper.
F
Who
really
was
an
opportunity
that
presented
itself
I
have,
in
my
mind,
premier
public
works
director
in
the
form
of
gym
carts.
That
is
capable
of
doing
more.
If
asked,
and
if
equipped
with
the
tools
to
be
successful,
he
has
said
that
in
order
to
do
that,
he
felt
that
he
would
need
a
number
to
an
assistant
public
works.
F
Director
I've
got
a
water
director
currently
in
the
form
of
Bob
Yale
that
six
months
ago
notified
us
that
he
no
longer
wants
to
be
a
number
one,
a
director
and
has
been
very
patiently
waiting
for
that
day
to
come,
but
in
the
reorganization,
Bob
Yale
will
become
the
assistant
public
works
director
and
about
a
third
or
a
fourth
of
his
responsibilities
will
still
be
the
oversight
of
the
water
department,
but
he'll
have
an
expanded
role.
Obviously,
in
the
Public
Works
Department,
two-thirds
to
three-quarters
of
his
time
will
be
spent
in
other
areas.
F
For
the
city
in
regards
to
operating
a
water
plant,
and
also
it's
my
understanding
that
he
has
an
excellent
relationship
with
the
community
and
the
employees,
so
there
was
my
answer
right
there.
I
don't
need
to
replace
a
water
director.
I
don't
need
somebody
that
necessarily
has
a
bachelor's
degree.
F
This
was
not
necessarily
something
that
was
on
the
radar,
even
though
I've
done
this
in
the
past,
in
my
former
city,
for
completely
different
reasons
again
real
quickly,
I
sized
up,
gym
carts
very
happy
with
what
I
saw
there
thought
that
there
was
an
opportunity
had
the
request
of
Bob
Yale
and
had
Brett
Lucien
again,
he's
now
formally
been
offered
the
job,
but
that
day
is
coming.
We
have
talked
to
the
unions,
the
employees,
you
know
as
any
change.
You
know,
there's
concerns
and
we're
trying
to
keep
them
informed,
not
trying.
F
We
are
keeping
them
informed
along
the
way
and
requesting
input
to
make
this
consolidation
to
be
as
seamless
as
it
possibly
can
be.
There
will
be
minor
code
revisions
that
are
required
of
counsel
and
I
expect
to
bring
those
before
you
next
week
on
October
22nd,
so
I'm
very
excited
about
this,
and
we
could
go
deeper
into
this
yeah
and
real
quick,
I
guess.
I
will
add.
F
So
next
item
information
services.
This
is
one
where
Scout
sprawls
is
the
director
and
I
have
pledged
to
him
in
an
attempt
to
bring
the
city.
If
you
will
into
the
21st
century
on
some
of
the
stuff
that
we've
talked
about,
we
come
in
it.
You
know
we
we
talk
about
business
registration.
Last
week
we
talked
about
some
of
the
fee
structures
and
the
opportunities
that
we're
coming.
This
is
going
to
be
done
with
scout
running
the
lead
and
it
becomes
my
responsibility
to
again
equip
him
with
the
tools
to
be
successful.
F
He's
got
limited
staff
and
he's
pulled
in
a
million
different
directions
and
I,
understand
and
respect
that
and,
if
need
be,
we
can
outsource
some
components,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
want
to
be
successful
on
some
of
the
technology
improvements
that
I
think
we
should
be
here
today.
We
definitely
will
be
in
very
short
order.
F
Grossinger
Motors
Arena
our
arena
recently
implemented
the
following
facility.
Staff
are
more
involved
in
matters
involving
the
arena.
City
is
actively
leading
procurement
versus
the
vendor,
LED
or
leading
the
procurement
process,
and,
to
date,
we've
had
a
savings
of
over
six
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
with
some
of
the
efforts
of
staff.
So
it's
another
huge
win
for
us.
F
This
is
one
that
has
already
been
implemented,
and
this
is
the
last
one.
I
mean
there's
many
others
to
be
quite
honest,
but
the
finance
director
monthly
report
was
something
that
we
implemented
a
couple
of
months
ago
felt
that
strongly
that
when
we're
talking
about
being
stewards
of
the
taxpayer
dollar,
we
need
to
not
just
publish
a
monthly
report,
but
have
that
high-level
discussion
which
you
know
could
prompt
questions
from
Council
and
we
dive
a
little
bit
deeper
down
at
at
least
a
30,000
foot
view
of.
What's
going
on
with
the
city's
finances.
F
High-Level
public
update
on
the
city's
current
financial
condition
provides
comparison
of
revenues
and
expenses
to
the
current
fiscal
year
budget
projections
and
also
comparison
to
the
previous
years.
Just
you
know
the
previous
fiscal
year
the
month
that
we're
in
so,
if
we're
talking
about
October
2018,
a
comparison
to
October
2017
is
also
something
that
Scott
will
talk
about
and
we
start
seeing
a
trend
develop
as
well,
where
we
are
with
revenues,
and
this
is
not
the
end-
we're
just
getting
started.
F
So
if
there's
any
additional
questions
or
comments
on
this
portion,
I'll
move
to
be
up
upcoming
agendas
and
give
a
quick
overview
of
that
before.
I
turn
this
over
to
alderwoman
Smith
I'm
gonna
move
on
all
right,
time's
a-wastin,
so
we're
going
appreciate
it
and
then
Scott.
How
do
I
get
rid
of
this
or
do
I
just
keep
it
up
there?
F
There
we
go.
Thank
you
upcoming
agenda
items
for
October
20
seconds'
meeting.
Is
the
sickly
buy
back
ordinance
that
council
has
requested
and
the
directions
been
given
by
the
elected
officials
and
have
actually
held
internally
to
employee
forums
so
that
the
employees
understand
what
is
coming
next,
but
councils
given
very
clear
direction
and
we're
going
to
formalize
that
in
an
ordinance
next
week
also
bond
refinancing?
F
This
was
definitely
something
that
was
my
on
my
radar
coming
into
this
position.
That
I
was
going
to
direct
Scout
Rathbun
to
do,
but
I
found
that
this
was
already
in
play
and
dealing
with
some
of
the
financial
folks
that
I've
dealt
with
and
what
will
come
in
front
of
Council.
Next
Monday
is
the
approval
to
proceed,
and
we
are
seeing
about
potentially
not
potentially
we'll
see
about
a
million
dollar
savings
in
our
in
refinancing
our
current
bonds
and
so
another
win.
That's
it
mayor,
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you
and
alderwoman
Smith.
Okay,.
E
Thank
you,
I
will
be
brief,
I'm
interested
in
proposing
that
we
add
a
position
to
our
transportation
commission
for
an
individual
who
is
part
of
our
disabled
community
or
possibly,
if
that
is
not
forthcoming
and
disabled
services.
Professional
I
really
appreciate
the
vision
that
we've
shown.
In
already.
E
We
already
have
a
position
on
the
transportation
committee
for
someone
with
quote
a
demonstrated
interest
in
accessibility
and
AD
a
compliance
but
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
that
many
of
us
have
heard
repeated
concerns
from
people
who
are
disabled,
who
have
to
navigate
a
variety
of
parts
of
our
city,
not
just
in
transportation,
but
you
know
access
to
businesses
and
those
kinds
of
things.
So
this
is
a
start
to
think
about
how
we
can
have
that
voice.
More
clearly
heard.
A
Again,
just
to
clarify
with
the
council
messages,
we
have
about
a
five
minute
reaction
to
the
council.
Are
we
interested
in
moving
forward
with
this,
and
so
it's
we're
really
not
debating
it?
It's
really
just
do
we
want
it
does
this
seem
like
a
viable
option
for
us
moving
forward
and
we
go
to
all
the
woman,
Burgas
I.
H
Just
want
to
ask
two
clarifying
questions.
Number
one:
are
you
talking
about
changing
their
criteria
for
the
existing
seat
or
adding
a
seat?
This
is
to
add
a
seat.
Okay,
number
two
I
remember
when
we
looked
at
the
language
for
on
the
feet
that
currently
exists.
There
was
some
concern
about
whether
more
specifically,
which
we
would
be
difficult
to
fill
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I.
Don't
think
that's
a
concern
here.
It
seems
very
broad,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
was
brought
up
and
but
I
honestly.
A
Could
find
him
any
other
questions?
Are
there
are
any
objections
to
us
moving
forward
with
this
additional
seat?
Okay,
all
right,
then
we
move
at
this
point
to
closed
session
and
what
I'm
looking
for
is
a
motion
to
go
into
executive
session
to
discuss
the
settlement
to
have
a
settlement,
discussion
and
I
want
to
make
it
clear.
No
action
will
be
taken
when
we
come
out
just
so
that
that
is
clear
and
I
have.
