A
We
have
a
big
issue
in
this
city
and
I'm
sure
y'all
are
well
aware
of
it.
We
had
another
shooting
yesterday
over
and
Tracy
Drive.
Why
wasn't
the
media
notified
to
where
people
would
know
what
was
going
on?
It
happened
at
four
o'clock
yesterday
morning,
I
was
woke
up
from
the
8
shots
that
I
heard
and
then
in
nine
o'clock.
Yesterday
evening
at
least
15
more
shots
rang
out.
A
There's
no.
We've
got
cameras
right
over
on
us
in
our
neighborhood
right
on
Tracy
Drive.
What
are
the
good
of
the
cameras
if
they're
not
being
able
to
see
or
to
work
so
I
want
to
I
want
to
propose
something.
I
spoke
with.
What's
your
name
again,
I
spoke
with
this
young
lady
outside
about
a
if
the
city
can
mandate
businesses
when
they're
operating
for
profit,
in
which
housing
apartments
are
a
profitable
organization
right.
A
Why
can't
they
be
mandated
to
I'm
forced
to
put
up
cameras
at
a
certain
degree
to
where
at
least
there's
some
accountability?
We
know
where
people
are.
These
things
are
happening.
We
just
can't
catch
them
in
the
act,
but
there's
not
enough
cameras
and
if
the
apartment
complexes
are
not
willing
to
do
this
on
their
own,
then
maybe
the
city
needs
to
step
in
and
do
their
job
and
protect
the
citizens.
B
A
B
E
B
C
B
The
minutes
will
stand
is
corrected.
We
move
a
right
along
to
presentation
and
discussion
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
submission
to
the
McClain
County
Regional
Planning
Commission
for
the
fiscal
year,
2022
2020
for
transportation,
improvement
program
for
bloomington-normal
urbanized
areas
requested
by
the
Public
Works
Department
and
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
mr.
Gleason
and
mr.
cart,
and
then
we've
got
a
Beef,
Council
period
of
questions
and
discussion.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
G
You
city
manager,
Gleason,
mayor
and
city
council
good
evening,
and
we
are
going
to
take
tonight
really
as
an
education
and
information
session.
It's
going
to
be
brief,
but
we're
going
to
try
to
hit
some
high
levels
about
what
the
transportation
improvement
program
is
it's
commonly
referred
to
as
a
tip
and
what
we
do
annually
to
submit
this.
So
this
tip
again,
we
submitted
annually
to
the
McLean
County
Regional
Planning
Commission,
and
we
do
that
and
what
it
does
is.
G
It
covers
a
series
of
five
years
of
construction
projects,
both
transportation
and
also
transit,
and
so
we
do
work
with
a
lot
of
other
stakeholders
on
this.
It
isn't
just
the
city
of
Bloomington
that
does
this
work.
This
also
is
done
by
the
town
of
Normal,
Illinois
Department
of
Transportation
federal
highway
and
then
also
others,
including
even
when
connect
transit.
We
blew
into
normal
Airport
Authority.
So
a
lot
of
different
areas
come
combined
to
work
toward
completing
this,
so
the
spreadsheet
is
hard
to
read
up
there,
but
it
does
include
you.
G
G
G
A
council
members
who've
been
around
for
a
long
time,
have
known,
we've
been
holding
off
and
saving
up
banking,
a
lot
of
our
money
in
the
motor
fuel
tax
fund,
so
that
we
can
pay
cash
for
capital,
and
so
at
this
point
now
we're
ready
to
move
forward
and
start
implementing
a
few
different,
larger
jobs.
We
get
about
1.8
million
dollars
a
year
in
state
motor
fuel
tax,
and
that
goes
toward
a
lot
of
the
funding
of
our
larger
projects,
and
so
the
way
this
is
broken
down
is
two
different
areas.
G
We
talk
about
maintenance
and
then
we
talk
about
capital
projects.
Up
on
the
screen
is
a
breakdown
of
our
maintenance
programs.
Recently
we
approved
local
motor
fuel
tax
funds.
You
can
see
up
on
the
screen
how
there
is
some
ramping
up
of
the
in
go.
What's
going
toward
our
general
resurfacing
over
this
year
and
then
into
next
year
as
compared
with
the
past
and
then
also
another
thing
to
highlight,
for
you
is
a
change
over
the
next
few
years
and
our
use
of
motor
fuel
tax
towards
street
lighting.
G
We
are
trying
to
ramp
that
back,
so
we
can
use
it
more
for
needed
capital
ongoing,
including
our
roads,
traffic
signals,
bridges,
you'll,
see
more
of
that
here
coming
up
shortly,
the
next
piece.
So
again
we
had
maintenance.
Now
we're
going
to
get
into
projects
the
major
projects
we're
just
going
to
do
a
quick
overview.
G
This
is
not
intended
to
get
into
the
weeds
we're
going
to
do
a
very
high-level
hit
of
these
projects
and
I'd
request
that
any
of
you
that
have
additional
questions
or
want
more
details,
we're
glad
to
get
you
history
current
status
future,
and
so
we
just
want
to
hit
a
very
high
level
for
some
of
this
from
some
of
these
projects.
So
this
next,
this
first
project
we'll
talk
about,
is
GE
at
Keeton
place,
Auto
Row.
It
is
a
major
traffic
signal
project
that
is
part
of
a
corridor
improvement
that
we've
been
doing
last
year.
G
We
did
Vernon
and
Towanda
barns
that
traffic
signal
great
improvement.
We
did
that
in
conjunction
with
the
town
of
normal.
We
saw
quite
a
bit
of
good
asphalt
improvement
as
well
this
year,
including
as
part
of
this
project,
we're
also
expanding
and
doing
more
resurfacing
along
GE.
It
won't
go
all
the
way
to
Hershey,
but
it'll,
be
between
this
signal
and
Hershey
will
will
also
be
expanding,
some
of
our
resurfacing
to
try
to
improve
the
street
condition.
This
is
using
a
lot
of
our
motor
fuel
tax
funds.
G
We've
been
working
toward
right
away,
land
acquisition
and
that
a
lot
of
times
is
very
difficult.
It
can
be
challenging
the
times
to
get
that,
so
we
are
just
about
completed
with
that.
So
we
are,
we
feel
very
comfortable
that
this
will
be
completed
during
this
construction
season.
Next,
one
is
a
longer-term
project
that
we've
been
working
on.
G
This
is
the
Fox
Creek
Road
from
Danbury
to
the
Union
Pacific
Railroad,
there's
two
components
to
this
project:
there's
the
bridge
component
and
then
there's
the
street
component,
the
bridge
piece
that
part
of
the
project
is
60%
funded
by
grade
crossing
protection
fund.
So
we
were
successful
in
achieving
those
funds.
Now
we
just
need
to
expend
them
so
yeah
we
have
been
working.
We've
had
difficulty
coordinating
with
a
railroad
on
agreements
trying
to
get
across
this
or
we'd.
G
On
trying
to
be
kind,
that's
where
I
said
it
has
been:
it's
been
a
longer
term,
a
longer
term
endeavor
we're
coordinating
through
that,
but
we're
we're
getting
there
where
we
are
hopeful
to
actually
begin
2020.
We're
hopeful
for
March
of
2020
is
our
current
goal
to
try
to
see
if
we
can
hit
that
the
Hamilton
Bundy
commerce
ties
in
with
the
Fox
Creek
Road
project
in
the
fact
that
we
spent
28
million
dollars
already
along
this
corridor.
That
includes
Hamilton
Road,
Fox
Creek
Road,
all
across
the
south.
G
It
is
our
southern,
east-west
arterial
road
system
and
this
Hamilton
Road
bunda
commerce
is
the
hole
in
the
doughnut.
Many
of
you
are
very
familiar
with
this.
Over
the
over
the
years
we've
applied
for
fast
lane
grants
we've
applied,
we've
gone
to
Washington
DC.
The
council
has
passed
resolutions
about
the
importance
of
this
project.
For
many
reasons,
and
one
of
the
reasons
is
that
this
is
again
completion
of
that
larger
arterial
road
very
important
for
us.
G
The
positive
aspect
is,
we
have
secured
80
percent
federal
funds
for
this
project
to
go
toward
it,
not
that
80
percent
doesn't
yet
cover
the
railroad,
siding,
that's
needed,
but
even
that
we're
trying
to
get
at
what
I'll.
Also
let
you
know
is
that
we're
still
not
done
trying
to
apply
for
grants
for
this
project,
even
though
we
do
have.
We
do
have
that
funds.
Those
funds
secured
we're
trying
to.
G
Even
if
we
can
free
up
those
funds,
as
the
city
manager
said
for
even
if
we
can
free
up
some
of
those
funds
for
use
in
other
areas,
we
are
going
to
try
to
make
an
attempt
to
get
a
build
grant
for
this
as
well,
which
would
also
be
at
about
that
same
funding
level.
So
we
still
see
this
from
the
council
based
upon
past
resolutions
as
a
high
priority,
and
we
are
moving
forward
as
quickly
as
we
can.
G
What
I
will
say
is
you'll
notice,
two
different
pieces
for
the
funding
of
Hamilton
Road
broken
up
over
different
fiscal
years.
The
reason
for
that
just
to
highlight
that
and
then
different
in
the
past
slide
is
that
it
has
to
be
broken
up
from
land
acquisition
right
away.
Some
engineering
work
then
to
the
final
construction
project
and
siding
work,
so
you'll
see
some
differences
with
that,
but
that
project
is
broken
up
over
multiple
years
downtown
wayfinding
signing
in
January.
G
We
really
want
to
really
celebrate
the
fact
that
we
were
one
of
only
39
organizations
out
of
168
applications,
so
39
out
of
168
that
received
safe
routes
to
school
funding,
and
so
that
was
$200,000
that
it
was
able
to
go
toward
with
no
matching
funds.
We
were
able
to
acquire
that
and
get
those
funds
it
was.
That
is
a
wonderful
success.
In
the
past,
we
have
successfully
coordinated
as
well
on
the
benjamin
school
safe
routes
to
school
grants.
G
The
Jersey
Avenue
bridge
over
Sugar
Creek
is
a
larger
capital
project
that
we've
been
saving
up
for
for
a
number
of
years.
A
few
years
ago
we
did
the
Linden
Street
Bridge
deck,
when
we
did
that
we
took
to
our
council
the
fact
that
this
is
one
piece
of
three
larger
bridges
through
sugar
Creek,
and
there
is
a
decision
by
our
council
at
that
time
to
include
widening
of
that
bridge
to
accommodate
and
allow
for
Constitution
trail
along
Sugar
Creek
in
compliance
with
our
bicycle
master
plan.
This
bridge
would
do
that
same
thing.
G
It
would
have
that
same
sort
of
of
widening
to
allow
for
the
Constitution
trail
to
go
through
that,
and
so
again
the
Cottage
Avenue
bridge
will
be
the
last
bridge.
It
is
not
in
the
five-year
plan
we're
trying
to
stretch
the
life
of
that
as
long
as
we
can.
You
bridge
projects
cost
a
lot
of
money,
so
you'd
have
to
spread
that
out
as
best
you
can,
and
so
with
that
being
said,
we're
we
well
under
our
time
and
have
plenty
of
time
for
questions
thanks.
G
Should
have
ended
off
the
night,
the
way
I
started,
okay,
so
so
tonight
is
just
education
and
information.
No
council
action
is
needed
in
July.
We
will
be
submitting
this
plan
for
final
approval
to
McLean
County,
Regional,
Planning,
Commission,
and
so
all
of
the
projects
you
see.
Council
has
taken
successive
action
so
that
staff
is
already
moving
forward
on
these,
and
so
there's
no
action
needed
staff
is
moving
forward
with
all
of
these
items.
This
was
just
more
also
for
some
of
our
newly
elected
officials
and
also
it's
good
for
the
public.
G
J
You
mayor,
thank
you
Jim,
that's
the
one
thing
I
wanted
to
comment
was
that
this
kind
of
overview
and
and
this
list
of
projects
that
many
folks
have
waited
on
for
sometimes
a
decade
or
more,
it's
very
exciting
to
to
our
city
to
see
these
things
come
to
fruition.
So
thank
you
for
your
work
shepherding
these
through
and
thank
you
for
this
quick
hit
because
we
can
celebrate
this
I
just.
B
L
K
G
So
our
Transportation
Commission,
a
lot
of
that
we
have
been
dealing
with
different
policies
locally.
A
lot
of
these
projects
are
larger
capital
projects.
The
council
has
taken
action
on
moving
to
this
point,
so
many
of
these
have
been
in
the
works
for
a
significant
amount
of
years,
and
so
at
this
point
many
of
these
are
the
culmination,
as
you
notice
again,
that
large
dollar
figure
in
this
coming
year
in
the
future.
That
can
be
something
that
you
know
can
continue
to
be
coordinated
and
really
more
informational
based
for
Transportation
Commission.
G
K
So
with
that,
then,
because
I'm
asking
because
one
of
the
line
items
that
appears
in
every
year
is
the
resurfacing
of
various
city,
streets,
payment,
preservation
and
stuff
like
that,
and
that's
something
we've
talked
about
a
bunch
of
times.
As
you
know,
it's
it's
the
process
of
how
roads
are
chosen,
for
that
is
still
a
mystery
to
most
of
the
city
and
so
I
think
that
making
sure
that
that
list
of
streets
and
how
those
are
chosen,
what
order
those
are
chosen
having
a
formula
of
this
is
how
we
do
that.
K
You
know:
X
percent
of
dollars
goes
to
arterial
and
this
percent
goes
to
collectors,
and
this
percent
goes
to
residential,
and
then
you
know
that
stack
ranking
process
of
how
that
happens.
I
think
that
that
is
something
as
we
go
forward
these
year.
We
can
run
that
through
the
Transportation
Commission
and
say
we
created
a
set
of
rules
and
with
inside
of
those
rules,
here's
how
the
roads
get
done
and,
for
instance,
some
of
it.
K
We
know
we're
not
going
to
repave
a
road,
that's
scheduled
to
have
sewer
or
water
main
work
right
until
that's
done,
but
I
just
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
mystery
still,
that
could
be
clarified
with
how
roads
are
chosen
or
which
ones
are
gonna,
be
paid
which
alleys
where
we're
going
to
be
at
in
the
city.
So
we
can
let
people
know
because
I
know
that
all
of
us
get
questions
of
well.
Why
did
you
choose
that
road
and
not
this
road
ride
it?
What
about
that
road?
K
G
I
didn't
ask
you
for
that
softball,
but
thank
you
that
it
allows
me
to
hit
it.
So,
in
January
of
this
year
the
council
approved
an
infrastructure
solution,
software
that
the
city
has
turned
over
all
of
our
data.
Again,
we've
done
a
lot
of
ratings
1
to
10,
using
that
Pazar
system,
and
they
then
take
that
GIS
data
that
we've
done
a
lot
of
the
hard
work.
G
Our
staff
has
done
the
hard
work
over
a
decade
of
preparing
and
doing
that
ratings,
and
so
they
put
those
into
different
algorithms,
and
you
can
then
have
the
policy
level
decisions
that
say:
where
do
you
want?
How
do
you
allow
those
decisions
to
take
place
in
conjunction,
as
you
said,
with
other
infrastructure,
like
our
sewer
water,
larger
in
larger
plans
that
we
have
so
so
that
we
are
hopeful
we're
still
waiting
on
that
to
come
back
we've,
given
the
data
over
to
them
based
upon
the
council
approval
in
action?
K
F
B
And
they
just
won
it
before
I
turn
to
all
the
know.
Along
with
an
underscore,
it
can't
be
a
mystery
anymore
mm-hmm,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
not
only
the
council's
policymaker
but
the
Transportation
Commission
is
more
involved
in
this
process,
regardless
of
what
the
algorithms
tell
show
us,
because
at
some
point
we
do
have
to
take
into
consideration
human
beings
and
their
needs,
not
just
what
algorithms
show
us
so
I'm,
not
a
I'm,
a
numbers
guy
too,
but
again,
I'm.
Just
saying
that
this
can't
be
a
mystery.
H
Sure,
okay,
I'm,
not
exactly
sure
how
I
want
to
ask
this
question,
but
I'll
go
and
ask
anyways.
So
I
know
there
is
a
talk
of
a
capital
funding
bill
right
and
that
might
and
that
there
might
be
some
money
in
there
for
local
projects.
You
know
in
different
municipalities,
so
I
just
wanted.
I
know
it's
been
a
while
since
we've
had
one,
but
maybe
you
can
educate
us
on
the
process.
You
know
as
far
as
the
capital
funding
bill
is
concerned
and
then
how
this
might
impact
this
list
here.
H
F
Take
this
one:
if
you
don't
mind,
we
we've
submitted
for
projects
for
consideration
to
our
two
state
senators
and
our
two
state
representatives
and
the
Hamilton
Bundy
commerce,
we're
trying
to
fund
this
in
three
possible
ways.
The
one
way
is
currently
what
we're
doing
through
our
local
MPO,
where
we
target
FY
22
to
be
able
to
start
construction
but
event,
nine
million
dollars
that
you
see
up
on
the
screen.
F
If
we
were
successful
either
through
a
state
of
Illinois
capital
bill
that
would
release
those
funds
to
us
for
other
projects
and
our
other
regional
partners
and
also
we're
going
to
hit
the
the
build
application
process
under
the
trump
administration.
If
you've
heard
of
in
front
Tiger
in
the
past,
under
the
Obama
administration,
it's
it's
the
same
thing
and
we're
gonna
ramp
up
and
deliver.
G
We
were
hoping
they've
got
it
already
had
the
data
mirrors.
You
know
about
a
few
weeks
ago,
so
actually
just
following
up
trying
to
find
out
how
quickly
we're
gonna
get
it,
but
even
whenever
we
get
the
data
back
and
have
it
in
a
software
that
is,
as
the
mayor
pointed
out,
and
then
alderman
Athey,
there's
still
a
lot
that
then
you
have
to
evaluate.
Do
some
QA
QC.
G
G
Hate
to
over
I
don't
want
to
over
promise
and
under
the
liver,
but
you
know
we
definitely
want
to
see.
We
we're
hopeful,
it's
going
to
be
a
process
for
us,
but
we're
hopeful
to
get
the
the
data
back
within
the
next
30
to
60
days
and
start
processing
it
and
going
through
transportation,
Commission
and
others.
Thank
you
all.
N
Is
a
high
level
question,
but
I
was
really
glad
to
see
the
safe
streets
get
funded
for
the
Sheridan
schools.
Are
there
any
other,
similar
kinds
of
grant
in
process
in
this
new
framework
going
forward
and
or
has
the
city
pursued,
getting
funding
for
a
DA,
compliant
areas,
more
accessible,
bus
stops,
etc?
Mm-Hmm.
G
And
so
some
of
that
we
do
look
to
partner
whenever
we
can
with
connect
transit
on
that
we
look
for
any
opportunities.
We
can.
You
know
just
even
now,
trying
to
talk
with
connect
transit
about
some
of
their
different
bus
stops.
But
that
being
said,
you
know,
safe
routes
to
schools
has
been
a
very
effective
sidewalk,
in
particular
with
AD
a
accessible
that
has
been
really
a
wonderful
mechanism
for
us.
We
haven't
seen
a
lot
of
other
funding
that
you
know
we.
G
F
A
closeout
comment
again,
I
know
I'm
saying
this
again,
but-
and
maybe
this
provides
a
little
bit
of
cover
for
Jim
karch,
don't
know
what
the
practice
had
been
of
the
city
manager
prior
to
me,
but
this
is
a
topic
when
we're
talking
about
spending
taxpayer
dollars
on
asphalt
and
concrete
type
of
projects.
It's
been
my
practice
that
far
more
involved
and
council
is
far
more
aware
and
involved
as
well.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
very
much
I'm
sure,
that's
music
to
everybody,
cheers
who's
who's
sitting
up
there
anything
else.
Okay,
we
move
right
along
to
the
next
item
item
six,
and
that
is
a
presentation
and
discussion
regarding
the
John
M
Scott,
commissioned
by
the
Commission
chair
and
vice-chair,
as
requested
by
the
Community
Development
Department
office
of
grants
and
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
and
have
then
a
brief
council
discussion.
Thank
you.
Thank.
O
Thanks
for
Allah
excuse
me
allowing
us
the
time
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
an
overview.
I
know
we
have
some
new
council
members,
so
we'll
give
you
a
kind
of
a
history
of
the
Commission
and
how
this
the
cities,
what
the
city's
role
has
been
and
then
kind
of
where
we
are
with
a
new
funding
structure.
So
I'm
gonna
ask
you
to
welcome
Holly
a
mule
or
chair
and
Sue
grant
our
vice
chair.
E
You
Jennifer
and
we're
glad
that
you
invited
us
to
be
here.
We
know
you
have
some
new
members
and
so
we'd
like
to
you
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
Judge
Scott
and
what
the
John
Scott
Health
Care
Commission
is
all
about.
I've
actually
served
as
chair
for
the
last
eight
years,
so
I'm
turning
the
reins
over
to
Holli
effective
just
a
couple
weeks
ago,
so
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
a
little
bit
about
the
history
of
Judge
Scott.
In
case
you
didn't
know
about
him.
E
He
lived
here
in
Bloomington
and
worked
here
most
of
his
adult
life.
He
was
an
attorney.
He
was
a
crony
of
Abraham
Lincoln.
If
you
didn't
know
that
and
mr.
Gridley,
as
well
as
David
Davis,
he
served
on
the
Illinois
Supreme
Court.
He
was
quite
a
prominent
resident
of
McClain
County,
but
when
he
died
he
was
very
forward-thinking
and
his
will.
He
left
a
large
sum
of
money
to
the
city
of
Bloomington
that
money
became
available
when
his
last
heir
died
in
1976.
E
His
intent
was
to
have
a
hospital
built,
but
when
he
died,
when
the
last
heir
died
in
1976,
this
community
had
three
hospitals
we
still
at.
We
still
had
the
old
Mennonite
Hospital
brokaw
hospital
in
Saint
Joe,
so
hospital
really
didn't
make
sense,
but
I
want
to
read
you
from
his
will.
He
directed
that
a
portion
of
his
sizable
estate
before
ever
under
the
direction
and
control
of
the
city
of
Bloomington,
making
the
City
Council
the
trustees
of
the
trust
and
that's?
Why
we're
here?
E
It's
a
sizable
trust
and
to
be
used
to
erect
construct
and
furnish
a
building
suitable
for
a
hospital.
His
wording
was
very
forward-thinking
for
his
day.
It
was
for
the
health
care
of
all
sick
or
disabled
persons,
male
or
female,
old
or
young
without
regard
to
nationality
or
religious
beliefs.
Who
may
not
be
able
to
pay,
or
this
part
you
can
kind
of
tell
us
from
the
1800s
or
who
have
no
friends
to
care
for
them.
We
know
we
don't
actually
use
that
terminology
today
in
healthcare.
E
So
actually
the
money
was
turned
over
to
three
entities:
the
see
of
Bloomington,
which
is
the
trust
that
we're
talking
about
tonight.
District
87
got
a
portion.
They
have
a
board
that
oversees
the
spend
atures
of
it
and
then
also,
what's
now
known
as
children,
so
manator
the
Children's
Foundation
a
portion.
We
have
converted
to
an
all
grants
format
with
the
City
Council
graciously
voted
that
last
July,
and
so
this
past
year
has
been
a
time
of
transition,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Holly
Holly.
E
N
P
So
hi
everybody
I'm
Holly
ambulance
since
2015
in
various
capacities,
but
I'm
new
in
the
chair
role
and
things
used
to
follow
and
there's
a
lot
of
people
and
I'm
working
really
hard
on
this
transition.
Some
of
you
that
have
been,
and
in
your
chairs
for
a
while
and
well-acquainted
with
the
issue,
so
I
don't
want
to
belabor
them,
but
we
do
think
it's
important
for
the
new
members
of
this
council
to
be
familiar
because
there
is
going
to
be
most
likely
more
attention
to
this
because
of
the
size
of
the
RFP.
That's
coming.
P
So
that's
really
why
we
went
to
Jack
Kate
some
time
to
this
today,
so
the
Commission
was
also
set
up
in
the
original
declaration
of
cross
earth.
Trust
to
advise
you
as
the
trustee
about
how
to
spend
the
money
in
the
trust
and
we're
limited
to
spending
no
more
than
5%
of
the
corpus,
like
most
trust
kind
of
operate
by
that
benchmark.
But
within
that
our
job
is
to
come
to
you
with
recommendations
about
how
to
do
that,
and
that's
been
true,
always
along
the
way.
There's
been
different
administrators.
P
Q
P
We're
really
thankful
she's
been
working
really
hard
to
get
everything
underway,
and
it
gives
us
a
good
opportunity
to
leverage
some
economies
of
scale
because
she'll
be
able
to
use
grant
software
that
you
guys
are
gonna,
also
use
for
the
CDBG,
and
one
more
I
forgot
that
so
we
can
share.
The
trust,
can
share
the
cost
of
the
software
with
the
city,
and
so
there's
lots
of
advantages
with
that
infrastructure.
I
want
to
make
sure
I,
don't
use
up
too
much
time
and
save
time
for
questions.
P
That's
our
theory,
because
the
volume
was
so
dramatically
less
after
that.
So
you
know
going
from
you
know
hundreds
of
people
to
maybe
a
dozen
a
month
or
whatever
was
some
variation.
Some
of
the
persistent
needs
that
we're
seeing
or
mostly
around
transportation
and
oral
health
and
some
meds.
So
there
are
some
lingering
needs,
but
a
lot
of
those
people
are
now
covered
elsewhere.
So
what
that
did
was
change
the
kind
of
flipped
direct
services
and
administrative
portions
I'm
in
a
way
that
didn't
make
sense
anymore,
and
so
that's
really.
P
What
was
the
impetus
for
bringing
the
trust
Administration
back
to
this
city?
So
that's
kind
of
three
years
of
history
in
a
nutshell
and
I
know
you
guys,
you
know,
can
talk
amongst
yourselves
about
that,
and
the
older
members
could
edit
the
newer
ones
on
that
so
moving
forward.
A
lot
of
things
will
be
different:
one
we're
moving
to
an
online-based,
open
and
transparent
grant
system,
which
will
be
the
first
time
that
that's
happened
in
the
past.
It's
kind
of
been
behind
the
scenes.
There
wasn't
as
much
money.
P
You
do
have
a
five-year
funding
history
in
your
packet
I
believe,
so
you
can
kind
of
see
how
it
was
hovering
between
and
one
and
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
the
past
on
an
annual
basis
to
just
a
limited
number
of
recipients
because
of
the
activity
in
the
stock
market
and
reduce
administrative
expenses
and
kind
of
delayed
action
over
the
past
few
years.
There's
more
money
available,
so
the
Commission
is
budgeted
$450,000
for
fiscal
year,
your
fiscal
year
20.
So
that's
already
been
approved.
The
prior
council
already
approved
our
new
grant
policies
and
procedures.
P
So
that's
already
in
your
packet,
so
you'll
see
that
there's
going
to
be
several
categories
of
grants
moving
forward
and
because
there's
more
money,
the
people
that
are
accustomed,
the
organizations
that
have
received
money
in
the
past
there's
still
plenty
of
room
for
them
at
the
table,
along
with
some
new
organizations
potentially
to
come
on
board,
which
is
a
really
exciting
opportunity.
So
it's
nice
to
be
here
and
give
you
good
news,
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
because
there's
so
much
need
in
the
community.
P
So
one
of
the
things
we
wanted
to
make
sure
you're,
aware
of
is
that
the
and
and
some
of
these
pieces
are
still
being
vetted
by
the
Commission
and
we're
still
implementing
processes
and
figuring
out
how
it's
all
going
to
work.
But
one
of
the
things
we've
been
we
intend
to
do
is
tie
the
funding
to
the
McLean
County
community
health
improvement
plan.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
all
are
familiar
with
that.
If
we
can
talk,
if
not,
we
can
talk
more
about
that,
but
that's
a
joint
plan.
P
That's
heavily
vetted
consensus
based
and
is
there
the
plan
there?
The
hospitals
and
the
health
department
are
required
to
do.
They
have
different
cycles,
but
for
the
first
time
in
2016
they
work
together
to
create
a
single
plan.
There's
no
dedicated
local
funding
for
that,
so
our
intent
is
to
ask
applicants
and
this
RFP
that's
going
to
come
out
this
summer
to
pick
one
of
the
goals
and
that
plan
and
write
to
that.
So
we're
excited.
We've
talked
to
the
team
that
does
that
plan
about
that
they're
excited.
P
So
that's
at
a
high
level.
One
of
the
guiding
principles
under
this
new
model:
secondly,
we're
gonna,
honor,
Judge,
Scott
and
his
commitment
to
equity
and
for
thinking
and
asked
them
to
target
health
disparities
in
our
community.
There's
lots
of
special
populations,
neighborhood
zip
codes
that
have
very
disparate
outcomes
and
we're
going
to
ask
people
how
they
intend
to
address
those
disparities
and
a
very
specific
way
will
also
allow
people
to
write
to
the
social
determinants
of
health,
which
basically
is
kind
of
a
wonky
term.
P
That
is
intended
to
portray
that
health
begins
where
people
live
work
and
play,
and
there's
a
lot
of
really
good
research
in
the
field
about
that
right
now,
Kaiser
Permanente
did
a
huge
study
on
this,
so
a
lot
of
healthcare
in
general
is
moving
in
that
directions,
and
a
lot
of
healthcare
funders
are
moving
in
that
direction.
So
it
allows
people
to
pitch
ideas
that
aren't
traditionally
healthcare,
sir,
if
you
can
demonstrate
how
targeting
those
will
improve
health
outcomes.
P
So
there's
things
we
know
that
are
highly
correlated
to
a
good
or
bad
health,
and
so
that
includes
things
like
transportation,
housing,
quality,
etc.
There's
a
lot
of
research
on
that
and
I
can
definitely
provide
more
information.
It's
very
broad,
so
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
working
with
community
stakeholders
on
this,
so
it
shouldn't
be
much
of
a
surprise
to
most
people
that
will
be
affected
by
it.
We've
tried
hard
to
make
sure
it's
transparent,
and
then
we
were
planning
well
and
we're
still
open
to
some
feedback.
P
So
if
you
guys
have
questions,
we'd
be
happy
to
field
those
and
Susan
and
Jonathan,
they
have
questions
that
you
are
better
to
answer.
Please
come
back
up,
so
I'll
stop
there
and
I'm
will
keep
you
guys
posted
because
there's
still
a
lot
of
work
to
do
so
when
it's
appropriate,
we
can
come
back
whether
it's
in
this
setting
or
another
and/or
meet
individually.
Whatever
is
helpful,
but
I
do
think
because
the
the
well
it'll
be
higher
profile
than
it's
been
in
the
past,
so
it's
important,
but
that
we
keep
you
engaged.
R
P
If
you
could
pray
write
a
dissertation
on
this,
so
I'm
all
invite
her
up,
but
there
are
that
is
a
quickly
changing
environment
in
our
community.
So
the
answer
to
that
three
years
ago
would
have
been
different
than
today
and
in
three
or
socially
it'll
be
different.
Again,
there
are
spaces
that
have
been
created
at
the
community
health
care
clinic
and
they
started
offering
services
in
March
and
chestnut
also
has
created
space
in
their
new
FQHC
for
up
to
eight
dental
chairs.
But
right
now
it's
empty
awaiting
federal
grant
money.
E
Health
kinda
was
my
passion
at
the
health
department.
I
was
the
supervisor
of
the
dental
clinic
for
a
very
long
time.
The
health
department
is
was
originally
the
only
clinic
in
this
county
who
accepted
people
with
a
medical
card.
That's
changed.
There's
some
private
I
shouldn't
use
the
word
private
they're.
What
I
call
corporate
dental
offices?
Probably
not
someone
I,
would
recommend,
but
they
do
take
the
medical
card,
so
people
have
more
opportunities.
E
It
is
one
thing
John
Scott
used
to
pay
for,
but
we
were
only
serving
about
three
people
a
month,
so
it
still
didn't
it.
The
administrative
costs
were
still
too
great.
I
will
tell
you
I
I'm,
now
at
Illinois,
State
University
and
we're
teaching
nursing
students
more
about
oral
health
and
we're
doing
tooth
brushing
in
schools
with
nursing
students
taking
the
lead
on
that.
So
prevention
is
always
cheaper
than
treatment.
So
if
we
can
start
at
that
level,
that's
where
we're
working
as
a
community
and
hopefully
with
a
new
plan,
the
new
Community
Health
Plan.
E
B
I
mean
that's
obviously
a
very
critical
thing
throughout
all
the
states
and
some
some
provide
them
illinois
used
to
actually
provide
that.
As
you
probably
know,
I
think,
until
1995
and
speaking
of
someone
who
didn't
go
to
a
dentist
until
he's
21
years
old,
I
can
tell
you
that
that
a
very
important
thing
for
prevention.
H
Well,
thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
hard
work
that
you
that
you've
done
on
this
on
this
grant
process.
I
know
it.
It
wasn't
always
easy,
took
us
a
while
to
get
there,
but
I'm
really
happy
to
see
that
we've
we've
come
to
something
that's
that
seems
to
be
acceptable
for
all,
and
it's
going
to
yield
great
benefits.
I'm
pretty
sure
I
wanted
to
ask
about
the
RFP
process.
H
H
P
Well,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
comment
on
that,
that's
a
series
of
actually
pretty
complicated
questions,
so
you
mind
us,
but
in
terms
of
publicity,
well,
first
of
all,
I
think
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
behind-the-scenes
talking
about
this,
so
the
agencies
that
have
already
been
at
the
table
with
this
trust
aren't
know
it's
coming.
We
did
a
roundtable
last
fall
with
them
pick
their
brains,
ask
them
what
they
wish.
Funders
knew
and
we
have
a
lot
of
information.
P
So
what
we've
been
telling
people
is,
make
sure
you're
familiar
with
our
county
or
community
health
improvement
plan
and
that
you
brainstorm
ideas,
so
you're
ready
to
go.
I
would
imagine
after
tonight,
this
being
a
public
setting
that
at
full
generate
some
publicity
in
an
official
capacity
and
then
as
we're
as
we're
ready
with
documents
that
have
been
approved
by
the
Commission
Jennifer
will
work
to
make
sure
they're
on
the
website.
P
So
your
City
website
now
has
a
more
robust
page
related
to
the
trust
and
the
Commission
and
we're
going
to
be
building
that
so
all
of
the
policies
and
procedures
the
portal
for
applying-
and
all
of
that
will
be
through
that
web
page
on
your
site,
so
we'll
be
able
to
issue
a
press
release
and
point
people
to
that.
So
we
do
have
a
plan
to
kind
of
make
it
more
widely
known.
But
in
terms
of
the
response
on
the
second
part
of
your
question,
I
can
tell
you.
P
The
needs
in
this
community
are
so
great
that
I
think
we're
going
to
get
more
applications
than
we
that,
if
we're
going
to
have
a
difficult
time,
I'll
be
surprised.
If
that
doesn't
happen,
it
could
happen
but
I.
You
know
I,
there's
it's
a
difficult
environment
here
after
changes
with
the
state
and
a
United
Way,
and
it's
just
been
a
really
difficult
years.
P
The
agencies
have
taken
a
lot
of
hits
so
I
think
that
people,
what
our
goal
is
to
be
flexible
and
in
a
learning
mode,
so
we
write
an
RFP,
that's
really
good,
but
also
allows
people
to
be
creative.
That
way,
we
can
learn
from
what's
proposed
what
the
needs
are
and
figure
out
how
to
make
them
fit.
Or
you
know
if
we
one
of
my
goals
as
chair
is
just
to
work
better
with
other
funders
here
right.
So
we
ask
agencies
to
collaborate.
P
I
would
like
our
local
funders
to
model
that,
so
if
we
can
work
together
more
to
trade,
good
ideas
like
I
can't
fund
this,
but
you
might
be
interested
that
kind
of
thing
I
mean
make
sure
the
community
understands
who
to
go
to
for
what
I
think
there's
a
lot
we
to
do
better
with
that.
So
there's
lots
of
opportunities.
P
If
we
have
gaps-
and
we
get
you
know,
100
oral
health
proposals
and
nothing
over
here,
then
I
think
we'll
across
that
version
when
we
come
to
it
I
we're,
because
this
is
a
completely
new
situation,
we're
not
really
sure
what
to
expect,
and
so
that's
why
we
want
to
be
flexible
and
stay
nimble.
So
we,
when
we
rewrote
the
bylaws
and
the
trust
we
tried
to
be
as
make
language
that
was
flexible
so
that
we
could
adapt,
because
we're
not
really
sure
what's
going
to
happen
so
I
think
it'll
be
educational.
For
all.
K
So,
thank
you
guys
for
coming
in
and
presenting
this
I
I
wanted
to
say
that
you
know
when
we
we
put
the
new
bylaws
in
place.
One
of
my
favorite
components
of
this
was
the
emphasis
on
reporting
results,
because
I
know
that
that
has
not
always
been
important
in
the
past,
and
it's
now
it's
in
the
bylaws
that
it
is.
K
So
thank
you
for
putting
those
in
the
grants
and
then
of
what
the
dental
as
well.
You
know.
I
saw
a
random
quote
that
somehow
20
plus
bones
in
the
body
were
determined.
It's
not
important.
So,
along
the
way,
the
insurance
providers
and
so
I'd
like
to
see
that
we're
making
those
bones
important.
Once
again,
you
know
because
they
say
that
a
person's
smile
is
the
number
one
identifier
for
socioeconomic
status
right.
So
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
I
really
appreciate
it.
Yeah.
B
You'd
be
surprised,
one
of
the
things
I
do
it.
Illinois
Wesleyan
in
my
methods,
classes,
percentage
of
the
population-
that's
toothless,
is
surprisingly
correlated
with
all
kinds
of
things
that
it
statistically
significant
level.
Now,
obviously,
it's
not
the
direct
cause,
it's
something
else,
but
it's
usually
do
just
for
mindless
empiricism
as
an
example,
but
but
it
does
reflect
a
broader
poverty.
Another
you
know
factor
oh
yeah,
alderman,
Treville,
I,.
S
Would
also
like
to
thank
you
guys
just
for
the
education,
as
it's
I've
learned.
A
lot
and
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions
to
help
me
further
educate
me.
So
we
talked
about
health
outcomes
and
helping
improve
that
it's
something
like
that
part
of.
Why
say
a
food
desert
and
helping
to
improve
something
like
that.
P
Yes,
so
I
didn't
mean
to
limit
the
concepts
to
only
transportation
or
housing,
because
I'd
be
happy.
I'll
follow
up
with
some
of
their
research,
but
we
can
give
you
some
graphics
that
show
the
social
determinants
of
health
and
what
the
research
shows
is
that
there
are
certain
things
that
are
so
highly
predictive
of
health
outcomes
that
they
matter
more
than
what
happens
inside
the
healthcare
system.
P
And
that's
true
for
things
in
the
built
environment,
where
you
have
access
to
recreational
activities,
green
space
and
the
ability
to
exercise
it
matters
when
you
have
transportation
or
not.
In
order
to
get
to
a
point
where
you
can
receive
primary
or
emergent
care,
and
for
people
that
have
odd
working
hours,
that
you
know
prevent
them
from
doing
things
during
the
business
hours
like
those
access
barriers.
Why
don't
I
have
childcare
while
you
can
go
take
care
of
your
healthcare
needs?
P
The
the
field
of
child
trauma
is
very
important
than
this
and
that's
a
separate
body
of
research.
But
what
it
says
is
that
if
all
children
are
likely
to
experience
trauma
at
least
once
because
life
is
hard,
but
whether
or
not
you
have
protective
and
restorative
factors
in
place,
when
you
experience
trauma
matters
in
it,
also
matters
how
many
of
those
traumas
you
have
sofa
child
witnesses.
Domestic
violence
has
an
incarcerated
parent
and
sees
druggies
in
the
home,
and
their
parents
get
divorced.
P
That's
the
kind
of
child
you're
gonna,
see
more
likely
to
not
just
have
their
own
issues
as
an
adult,
maybe
in
the
criminal
justice
system,
but
also
literally
be
unhealthy.
So
it's
very
highly
predictive
of
adult
health.
It's
really
fascinating.
So
that's
based
on
a
30-year
study.
The
Kaiser
Permanente
did
and
published
at
Lange
2011.
So
those
are
the
kind
of
issues
we
want
to
see
people
thinking
about
in
our
community.
How
can
we
target
those
to
help
people
experience
more
well-being
in
the
house.
B
S
P
B
F
You,
mayor
and
council
I
won't
need
five
minutes.
I
do
have
a
handful
of
items,
just
a
reminder
to
the
community.
Memorial
Day
is
next
Monday.
City
Hall
is
closed.
So
that
means
our
council
meeting
is
on
Tuesday
May
28th.
Also
effective.
Our
target
is
made
28th
the
new
name
tags
name
plates
for
the
council.
Members
will
be
completed,
we're
just
waiting
on
one
more
response
before
we
send
out
the
order
for
all
the
things
related
to
the
names
for
this
council.
Also,
the
first
week
of
June
is
our
targeted.
F
Go
live
date
with
the
streets
website
that
we've
talked
about
in
the
past.
So
that's
the
the
goal
and
we'll
have
more
on
that
May
28th
also
agenda
items
that
I
know
will
be
on
the
May
28th
the
agenda.
Under
the
regular
agenda
items
we
have
the
FME
local
$6.99,
who
also
represent
the
library
employees,
a
contract
that
will
come
back
before
council
for
approval
very
similar
to
the
contract
that
was
negotiated
with
the
city
employees
and
asked
me
local
699.
F
Also,
we're
going
to
have
consideration
approving
the
boundaries
for
the
downtown
cultural
district,
cultural
map
that
we've
talked
about,
and
we
actually
have
two
members
on
the
cultural
commission,
Alderman
mantheon
kraebel,
so
we'll
have
that
on
the
agenda
as
well,
and
then
lastly,
Bob
Mart
and
his
team
were
successful
in
getting
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
grant
from
the
Illinois
Housing
Development
authorities,
home
accessibility
program
grant
it's
not
something
that
we've
received
before
and
it
will
come
before
council
for
approval
next
Tuesday
night.
That'll.
Do
it
for
me.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
very
much
and
then
for
the
new
council
members
we,
if
you're
coming
for
the
Memorial
Day
Parade,
we
gather
right
in
front
of
the
Law
and
Justice
Center
and
we'll
figure
out
a
way
back,
either
by
walking
or
by
some
version
to
come
back
to
to
the
Law
and
Justice
Center.
If
you
were,
if
you're
walking
and
there
is
no
candy
because
of
the
nature
of
the
parade,
there's
a
parade
with
candy
and
Labor
Day
of
the
nature
of
the
solemnity
of
Memorial
Day
is
such
that
they
asked
us
not
to
to
provide
candy.
