I'm
here
we
have
a
quorum.
We
have
three
people
for
public
comment,
just
to
remind
everybody
that
on
regular
Fridays,
that
is
phrase
before
regular,
normal
City
Council
or
normal
Bloomington
city
council
meetings.
Just
to
make
sure
that
we
were
talking
about
the
right
thing
right
in
the
back.
We
have
from
4:30
to
5:30
an
open
house.
They
have
had
for
six
and
a
half
years.
Any
time
you
have
questions
or
comments
if
you
want
engage
in
dialogue,
you're
certainly
welcome.
Our
policy,
of
course,
is
to
not
respond
to
public
comment.
We
have
three
people.
A
C
D
One
time
I
had
to
get
up
at
2
o'clock
in
the
morning
go
out
and
clean
that
drain
out.
Fortunately,
I
heard
it
because
the
the
drain
was
plugged.
It
was
over
the
approach
over
the
sidewalk
halfway
up
my
drive
headed
for
the
house,
and
it's
amazing
that
every
sidewalk
around
City
Hall
and
the
library
Police
Department.
They
are
all
ADA
accessible,
I'm
still
waiting.
That
was
a
law
in
1990
29
years
ago.
I
bet,
if
I'd
be
29
years
late
in
paying
my
property
taxes.
I
bet
my
property
wouldn't
be
around
any
longer.
D
You
know
you
know
that
I'm
I
know
Terry
that
you
get
if
it's
doing
September
by
early
November.
They
have
that
tax
sale.
They
don't
wait
29
years,
but
you
expect
the
taxpayer
to
wait.
Twenty
nine
years
we've
seen
the
City
Council
give
mr.
Gleason
arrays
and
when
we
the
streets
are
in
sidewalks,
are
in
deplorable
condition.
You
know
I've
said
it
over
and
over
and
over
they
need
to
be
raised.
D
There
was
and
I
was
outside
once
and
somebody
came
past
and
said
these
sidewalks
are
in
terrible
shape.
I
said
tell
Jim
cars,
don't
tell
me
it's
not
gonna
do
a
bit
of
good.
If
you
tell
me
tell
Jim
cars
and
it's
amazing
the
next
shortly
after
that
they
were
the
city,
the
Public
Works
is
out
there.
You
know
I,
think
it's
ridiculous,
that
the
city
spends
and
spends
and
spends
and
taxes
and
tax
and
tax,
and
you
know
they
don't
try
to
control.
D
They
have
no
reason
to
want
to
control
spending
and
regarding
the
mainly
at
sea
and
the
inlets
like
I,
said
before
they
they
plug
the
ad
a
law
that
was
an
effect
in
1990s
I,
know,
I
brought
it
up
before
tonight.
I'll
bring
it
up
again.
That
was
it's
29
years
three
decades.
I
hope
the
city
really
listens
to
what
the
public
has
to
say
because
remember,
every
one
of
you
is
elected
except
mr.
Gleason
and
he
gets
appointed
and
you
know
you
may
you
may
not
get
re-elected
to
another
term.
E
Hi,
my
name
is
Chris
Collins
I'm,
the
founder
of
a
501
C
3
here
in
McClain,
County
and
I
just
wanted
to
come
in
and
and
reach
out
to
all
the
new
faces,
but
I
don't
know
in
the
City
Council
I
do
know
the
mayor.
The
mayor
knows
me
knows
what
I've
been
trying
to
do,
but
in
your
community
your
businesses
have
stepped
up
and
they
want
to
fix
a
problem
and
it's
a
huge
problem
and
if
it
addresses
many
different
directions,
but
it
starts
with
our
youth.
E
If
we
can
teach
our
youth
how
to
build
a
home
in
an
hour
after
school
after
we
feed
them,
we
make
sure
they
got
the
fuel
to
do
it,
but
they
don't
have
to
think
about
it.
They
don't
have
to
worry
about
it.
They
just
get
their
bellies
full,
but
then
we
give
them
the
fuel
for
the
future
and
they
can
build
a
home
in
an
hour
that
will
empty
every
shelter
in
the
country,
but
it
will
also
give
them
an
opportunity
to
start
recovering
and
rebuilding
up
natural
disasters
using
the
recycled
steel.
E
But
your
businesses
have
stepped
up
in
this
city
to
donate
money
every
day
of
the
year.
The
only
thing
that
people
need
to
do
is
say
they're,
a
hope
supporter.
It's
not
that
hard,
but
it's
word-of-mouth
advertising
that
if
every
person
in
here
shared
it
with
100
people,
I'm
gonna,
give
you
a
quick
example,
because
I'm
running
out
of
time
anyway,
but
Project
Hope
dot
Global's
our
website
I
want
everybody
to
look
at
that
please.
E
But
if
you
shared
it
with
a
hundred
people,
and
only
ten
people
listened
to
each
one
of
you,
each
one
of
you
is
gonna,
get
ten
people
to
share
with
a
hundred
people.
That's
1,000
people
that
just
saw
that
share
now
what
only
a
10%
is
going
to
listen,
but
a
hundred
people
is
now
going
to
share
it
with
a
hundred
people.
That's
10,000
people
in
three
shares.
The
four
shares
a
hundred
thousand
people
and
ten
thousand
got
it
now.
They've,
just
shared
it
with
a
million
moving
into
the
fifth
time
that
they
shared.
E
We
build
from
now
on
and
I
have
an
opportunity
to
use
the
GE
building
to
get
this
factory
started
and
I
want
to
be
able
to
use
one
out
there
and
normal
that
that's
half
a
million
or
a
million
square
foot
building
give
me
a
break.
We
could
really
put
it
together,
but
I
got
support
nationally
internationally
and
I
need
support
locally.
So
we
can
make
this
happen.
I
appreciate
it.
F
Terina
fish
909
in
Westwood,
Street,
Bloomington,
Illinois
I,
was
going
to
speak
about
something
else,
but
I
before
this
meeting
started.
I
took
the
time
to
sit
down
and
talk
to
this
gentleman
that
just
spoke
I
think
y'all
need
to
listen
to
him,
because
this
is
a
person
in
his
group
in
his
company
who
actually
are
talking
about
recycling
building
materials,
giving
youth
a
trade,
giving
them
a
home,
paying
them
a
living
wage
or
more.
F
It's
a
win-win-win
situation,
so
I'd
like
to
be
leaving
it
just
in
a
positive
thing
that
I
would
really
suggest
that
you,
as
leaders,
take
the
time
to
sit
down
with
this
gentleman
and
that
it
is
a
global
thing
and
see
where
you
could
go
with
it.
We
have
a
lot
of
people
in
this
city
that
could
use
a
job,
can
use
a
home
and
could
use
a
trade
and
get
fed.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Next.
A
A
So
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
start
and
if
you
come
up,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
read
each
of
your
names.
I
apologize
in
advance.
If
I
butcher
them
I,
don't
think
I'm
gonna
screw
up
the
first
one.
The
first
one
is
Karen
Boyd
Karen.
Would
you
come
forward?
Are
you
here
Karen's
not,
but
if
we
could
give
her
a
round
of
applause,
appreciate
her
taking
the
time
to
learn
about
her
city
and
community?
Certainly
the
most
heist
form
of
involvement,
Steve
bring
cooter
I,
think
I
messed
that
up
sorry
I,
see.
A
A
A
A
A
We
very
much
appreciate
that
and
we
certainly
appreciate
the
not
only
participation
of
the
people,
but
there
are
long-term
involvement
and
we
certainly
hope
that
you'll
stay
involved.
Stay
organized,
stay
well
involved
in
this
extent
that
which
should
be
a
board
and
Commission
member,
or
maybe
a
city,
council,
member
or
just
a
general
citizen
who's
talking
to
us
and
giving
us
good
ideas.
We
appreciate
all
your
help.
Thank
you
at
this
point.
If
we
could
move
to
the
consent
agenda
now,
I
mess
something
up
here,
but
we
do
have
an
electronic
vote
here.
A
G
A
A
H
A
Okay,
wow
that
was
good
councilmember
black
may
I,
made
the
motion
seconded
by
councilmember
mathy
any
further
discussion.
Seeing
none
would
you
please
go
ahead
and
vote
okay,
something's
not
happening
there.
It
is
okay.
All
right,
beautiful
motion
carries
seven
and
nothing.
There
are
no
names
to
announce.
Madam
clerk,
we
move
on
to
the
next
item.
Consideration
and
action
to
approve
Committee
of
the
Whole
meeting
minutes
from
September
16th
2019.
Are
there
any
concerns
about
those
minutes
or
a
motion
like
I,
like
council,
member
or
black,
and
once
again
seconded
by
councilmember
mathy?
A
A
We
move
on
to
our
discussion
is
when
your
presentation
under
item
6a
of
the
demux
Grove
neighborhood
plan
many
years
in
the
making
and
we're
so
thrilled
about
this
and
it's
prepared
by
the
McLean
County
Regional
Planning
Commission
is
requested
by
the
community
development
department
in
the
administration
department,
and
we
have
a
brief
presentation
and
a
brief,
City
Council
discussion
again.
This
is
really
wonderful.
What
would
you
know?
One
of
the
jewel
neighborhoods
of
our
entire
city
and
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
our
city
manager,
Thank
You,
mr.
Gleason
Thank.
J
Thank
You
mayor
councilmembers,
as
you
know,
the
city
shouldn't
have
has
to
be
involved
in
the
development
of
our
neighborhoods.
Excuse
me,
but
how
the
neighborhood
ultimately
look
and
feel
and
grow
should
be
driven
by
neighbors
and
residents
who
live
in
those
areas.
The
city's
comprehensive
plan
actually
calls
for
more
neighborhood
level
planning
as
part
of
our
day-to-day
efforts,
whereas
the
comp
plan
can
focus
on
the
big
picture.
J
Neighborhood
plans
can
actually
focus
on
the
more
specific
items
that
are
more
relevant
for,
like
a
better
way
to
say
it
to
the
neighborhoods
in
July
of
16.
Actually,
the
McLean
County
Regional
Planning
Commission
worked
with
the
dimmest
Grove
Grove
Neighborhood
Association,
to
complete
a
draft
of
dimers
Grove
neighborhood
plan.
That
plan
is
designed
to
be
a
pilot
for
other
work
like
that
with
other
neighborhood
groups.
The
document
is
designed
to
be
a
road
map
for
the
neighborhood's
growth,
as
I
said,
and
through
collaboration
with
city,
state
and
neighborhood
associations
and
other
partners.
J
That's
the
great
thing
about
the
plan.
Frankly,
is
that
oftentimes?
There
is
a
call
for
the
city
to
simply
do,
and
this
plan
actually
is
in
collaboration
with
the
neighborhood.
There
are
action,
steps
and
long
and
short-term
plans
and
goals
and
they're
actually
assigned
to
different
groups,
and
so
it's
truly
a
collaboration
and
a
partnership.
J
As
you
know,
the
demographic
growth
neighborhood
is
defined
as
a
26
block
area,
south
of
Washington
north
of
Oakland
Avenue,
east
of
Gridley,
Street
and
west
of
Clinton
Avenue
and
again,
as
I
said,
there
was
this
plan
and
putting
it
together
was
really
a
deep
dive
into
the
neighborhood
strengths,
weaknesses,
opportunities
and
threats.
And
again
there
is
an
actionable
plan
for
moving
it
forward.
J
I
mean
they're
moving
forward,
and
so
the
plan
for
us
would
be
to
to
have
a
brief
discussion
tonight
about
the
plan.
We
actually
have
members
of
the
neighborhood
organization
here
to
speak
to
that
and
then
at
the
next
meeting
on
the
consent
agenda,
for
you
to
accept
it.
If
you
so
desire,
and
so
we
have
Brad
Williams,
who
is
the
president
of
the
diamond
sociation
and
we
have
Karl
Rove
Esteli
as
well?
Who
is
here,
I
believe
that
one
or
both
of
you
maybe
wants
to
say
a
few
words.
A
L
You
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
council
members
for
the
opportunity
to
just
share
a
little
bit
about
this
plan
and
the
process.
We
are
really
delighted
to
have
this
opportunity.
Really
this
process
started
for
the
neighborhood
in
2014.
It
actually
took
us
two
years
to
do
this
work.
As
you
know,
comprehensive
planning
planning
takes
a
lot
of
work.
You
have
to
bring
a
lot
of
people
together.
You
have
to
be
really
proactive
and
seeking
input
and
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
doing
that.
L
So
what
I
hope
to
be
able
to
do
is
just
go
through
a
little
bit
of
that
process
to
share
a
little
bit
about
it,
and
then
we
can
sort
of
open
this
up
for
a
conversation.
Just
if
you
have
any
questions
or
comments
or
concerns
to
me
personally,
I
think
this
process
really
exemplifies,
what's
really
special
about
our
community
and
that
is
neighbors
and
neighborhoods
who
come
together
to
make
it
better
and
I.
L
L
L
One
of
the
things
that
we
felt
was
really
important
and
I
think
is
important,
anytime
you're
doing
a
planning
exercise
is
reviewing
the
history
and
context
of
our
neighborhood
Dimon's
Grove
is
the
oldest
established,
Neighborhood
Association
in
town
you
also
the
oldest
part
of
town.
So
we
gathered
analyzed
and
map
several
of
the
data
points
so
that
we
had
a
better
understanding
of
both
the
qualitative
and
quantitative
data
points
in
our
neighborhood
we
produced
several
maps
and
charts
and
graphs
so
that
we
could
document
this
in
a
visual
way.
L
We
also
did
a
combination
of
neighborhood
meetings
and
surveys.
Our
meetings
would
have
anywhere
between
10
or
15
people
up
to
40,
plus
people
and
we'd
be
in
living
rooms
just
having
charettes
with
posted
notes
and
boards
and
like
we
would
just
be
geeking
out
about
our
neighborhood
and
it
was
really
fun
and
if
you
I
bite
anyone
to
come
to
a
neighborhood
association
event,
they're
really
super
fun,
and
then
we
also
we
knew
that
not
everybody
could
come
to
those.
So
we
did
surveys
and
the
neighborhood
has
block
captains.
L
Every
single
block
in
Demuth's
Grove
have
somebody
who's
assigned
to
it
who's.
Just
looking
out
after
that
block
and
though
that
person
took
surveys
to
every
single
door
knocked
on
the
door
sort
of
explained
what
we
were
trying
to
do
and
encourage
people
to
fill
out
surveys.
So
we
were
really
proactive
about
getting
as
much
input
as
we
could,
because
we
knew
people
are
very
busy
in
their
lives
and
sometimes
they
can't
show
up
to
a
meeting.
L
We
developed
a
SWOT
analysis,
strength,
weakness,
opportunities
and
threats,
and
that's
well
documented
in
the
plan.
I
think
that
gave
us
a
real
nice
opportunity
just
to
sort
of
get
a
picture
of
our
of
our
community.
We
had
38
respondents
to
the
survey
and,
like
I
said,
number
several
meetings
over
and
over
again
with
anywhere
between
15
45
people,
and
we
had
a
really
good
blend
of
people
who
owned
their
buildings
and
people
who
rented
them,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
got
input
from
everyone.
L
Really
outlined
our
goals,
and
so
I
won't
reiterate
that
you
know
we.
Ultimately,
our
goal
was
to
provide
a
planning
document
that
would
help
us
build
a
stronger
neighborhood
and
a
stronger
community
and
would
help
us
be
a
strong
partner
with
the
city
of
Bloomington
in
collaborating
and
figuring
out
ways
that
we
could
work
together
to
strengthen
this
gem
really,
which
is
our
historic
core
and
a
part
of
that
as
dim
its
growth
in
terms
of
implementation.
One
of
the
things
that
we
did,
that
I
think
is
really
special
was
when
we
developed
our
goals.
L
We
didn't
just
say
here's
a
list
of
things
that
we
wish
to
do
we
developed
goals
and
then
very
clearly
delineated
who
would
be
the
lead
and
who
would
be
supporting
component.
So
when
there
were
big
infrastructure
issues,
of
course,
that
isn't
something
that
neighborhood
could
really
take
on.
But
there
were
many
things
the
neighborhood
could
take
on.
So,
for
example,
one
of
the
things
that
came
out
of
the
planning
was
perception,
issues
about
crime
or
issues
around
people
didn't
realize
or
didn't
wanted
to
learn
more
about
the
historical
context.
L
I
mean
the
physical
buildings
and
DIMM
it's
Grove
and
in
our
historic
neighborhoods,
are
really
temples
to
our
historic
parish.
Where
we
came
from
who
was
there,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
worked
on
as
a
neighborhood
was
developing
plaques
that
we
could
put
out
in
front
of
the
older
homes,
and
that
would
tell
a
story,
and
so
so
we've
done
12
of
those
and
I.
Think
we'll
look
I'm
like
we'll
do
another
12
or.
L
12
more
this
coming
year
as
an
example
and
the
other
thing
we
did
was
put
a
neighbors
came
together
and
put
a
comprehensive
brochure
that
told
the
stories
of
the
neighborhood
and
and
a
little
bit
about
the
homes
and
gave
really
good
information
about
who
to
call
for
what
and
city
government
just
making
it
easier
to
live
in
the
neighborhood.
Just
knowing
you
know,
how
do
you
get
a
hold
of
someone
in
Public
Works?
L
So
that's
really
I
guess
at
the
highest
level,
the
plan
and
the
methodology
and
a
little
bit
about
why
we
did
and
what
we
did.
There
are
lots
of
neighbors
here
that
are
here,
supporting
it.
I
would
just
say:
I
just
thank
mr.
Gleeson
and
mr.
taya
for
their
incredible
support.
We've
gotten
so
much
support
from
them
over
throughout
this
process
and
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
off
Brad.
If
you
want
to
add
anything.
K
Just
once
again
thank
guys
and
everyone
involved,
some
of
these
things
have
started
to
be
implemented.
The
condition
of
the
sidewalks
and
I
want
to
thank
Jim
karch
for
starting
to
replace
some
of
the
sidewalks
in
the
neighborhood
last
two
or
three
years,
and
then
we
have
a
grocery
store.
Now
we
have
green
table
grocery,
which
is
close
by
I,
can't
think
of
anything
else.
The
signs
we've
done
the
sign
project,
and
so
that's
something.
That's
positive.
K
L
M
You
for
presenting,
so
my
first
question
is
according
to
you
what
what
is
the
bare
minimum
for
establishing
a
neighborhood
plan
like
this.
So,
for
example,
do
you
need
to
have
a
neighborhood
association
already
established?
You
know
I'm
thinking
about
about
that
and
and
what
might
be
the
challenges
of
engaging
in
this
process
outside
of
a
comprehensive
plan?
Or
you
know
you
had
the
regional
planning
to
go
on
with
your
work
and
and
consultants
to
engage
in
some
of
the
analysis
so.
L
Full
disclosure
not
going
to
surprise
anybody,
I
am
NOT
a
professional
planner,
but
I'm
going
to
pretend
to
be
one.
For
today,
at
least
I
would
say
what
one
challenge
with
not
having
an
association
is
not
having
the
organization
so
I,
one
of
the
things
with
them.
Its
growth
has
is
a
really
strong
leadership
group
and
as
regular
meetings
and
regular
connection.
So
if,
if
you're
gonna
take
that
social
element
and
and
that
structural
element
to
the
next
step,
you
just
need
to
make
sure
that
you
have
the
appropriate
organization
and
people
involved.
L
But,
like
anything
else,
if
you
have
a
few
people
that
are
willing
to
really
work
hard
and
figure
it
all
out,
like
you
can
do
that.
For
us,
we
just
have
the
added
benefit
of
many
many
years
over
40
years
of
an
established
neighborhood
with
strong
leadership,
individuals
who
have
constantly
been
working
really
hard
to
try
to
make
the
neighborhood
a
better
place,
and
so
that
legacy
just
was
a
great
jumping-off
point
for
us.
L
G
I
am
really
excited
to
hear
about
this,
and
I
am
curious,
as
we
are
talking
about
this
being
a
pilot
in
a
model
for
other
neighborhoods
I,
guess,
to
put
it
simply
like
what
are
some
things
that
you
wish
that
you
had
known,
went
back
before
you
engage
in
this
process
or
some
things
that
you
would
have
like
gone
about
differently
if
knowing
knowing
now
what
knowing.
If
you
knew,
then
what
you
know
now,
I.
K
Don't
think
we
would
change
anything
I
can't
think
of
anything
that
I
they
went
wrong
or
anything
like
that.
So
I'm
pretty
happy
with
the
results
of
what
we
got
here.
We
got
just
about
got
a
standing
ovation
from
the
Planning
Commission.
That
was
their
reaction
to
the
plan.
They
were
very
impressed
and
then
mr.
Tyus
came
to
a
neighborhood
meeting
and-
and
he
basically
said
the
same
thing-
there
was
a
reflection
of
what
the
Planning
Commission
had
said,
and
so
we've
got
nothing
but
positive
responses,
which
is
what
I
would
that
would
be.
L
L
So
I
would
just
say:
that's
not
something
I
wish
I
had
known
because
there's
nothing
we
could
have
done
about
it,
but
now
I
think
that
is
something
that
the
next
neighborhood
or
the
next
group
that
comes
forward
is
going
to
benefit
from,
because
I
mean
we're
standing
here,
because
the
city
leadership
is
comfortable
with
just
some
neighborhoods
coming
up
and
telling
you
about
this.
Robust
planning,
exercise,
I,
think
I,
hope
that
tells
everyone
in
the
community
like
their
support
here.
L
They
want
to
see
neighbors
come
together
and
do
these
things
and
so
I
think
that's
that's
a
great
thing,
and
so
now
there's
a
process,
and
you
know
you
you
you,
it
won't
be
a
secret.
The
timeline
I
mean
we
started
this
process
in
2014
and
we
stand
before
you
today
in
November
of
2019,
so
that
took
a
while
I
hope
for
the
future
neighborhoods.
It
doesn't
take
that
long,
no
I'm,
that's
the
and
it
won't
based
on
you
know,
kind
of
the
support
and
leadership
that
you
have
in
place.
Yeah.
G
It
gives-
maybe
that's
one
follow
up.
Question
is
because
it
was
a
longer
process
like
what
are
some
specific
things
that
come
to
mind
that
could
like
that
could
have
helped
for
that
to
go
more
smoothly,
like
I
get
I,
guess
that
you
all
were
kind
of
the
guinea
pigs
of
this,
and
so
thank
you
for,
for.
K
Doing
that
people
have
a
limited
amount
of
time,
it's
an
all-volunteer
ordeal,
and
so
this
person
has
other
obligations.
You
know
you
just
can't
everybody
can't
get
into
it
all
at
the
same
time,
so
it
just
it
ends
up
taking
more
time
than
if
you
had
a
day
after
day
type
D
right.
We
got
paid
to
do
it
or
something
and.
L
G
L
I
think
for
us
we
built
that
the
plan
was
was
put
together
in
such
a
way
that
we
were
empowered
to
take
action,
regardless
of
what
happened
with
the
city.
Like
I
mean
I,
I.
Think
it's
fantastic,
we're
here
and
I
really
hope
we.
You
were
able
to
support
this
plan,
but
we
weren't
waiting
for
the
city
to
make
things
happen
like
we.
We
recognize
the
things
that
we
wanted
to
do
and
we
did
them
and
we
pushed
and
advocated
for
the
things
that
we
cared
about
in
the
plan.
Another.
L
What
you
know
throughout
the
process,
so
so
I
think
but
but
I
think
you
know
in
the
future.
I
have
no
doubt
whatsoever
that
it
will.
It
takes
as
long
as
it
needs
to
take.
You
need
to
make
sure
you
get
a
lot
of
input
and
a
lot
of
product,
a
lot
of
feedback
and
engagement
on
developing
these
kinds
of
things
and
and
I
I.
L
K
N
O
Wanted
to
echo
the
same
thing
you
know,
thank
you
for
your
hard
work
on
that.
One
I
was
at
a
bunch
of
the
meetings,
but
there
are
people
that
live
in
our
neighborhood
that
have
been
there
for
35
and
40
years
and
I.
Just
you
know
they
had
the
expertise
and
I
sat
back
and
let
them
drive
it
because
there's
no
better
resource
than
people
like
Brad.
That
know
literally
everything
about
our
neighborhood.
So
it
was
an
amazing
process.
Jen.
Just
to
answer
one
of
your
questions.
O
O
But
there
was
a
lot
of
changing
inside
of
the
city
during
that
period
at
the
same
time
too,
so
that
probably
contributed
to
at
least
a
year
of
the
delays,
if
not
longer
by
itself
so
and
and
I
love
the
idea
that
we
can
keep
marching
through
and
do
these
plans,
especially
in
a
lot
of
the
older
neighborhoods.
We
can
highlight
the
particular
challenges
of
each
neighborhood,
because
you
know
our
challenges
in
Dimon's.
Grove
are
different
than
West
Bloomington
that
are
different
than
South
Hill
different
than
Franklin
Park.
O
But
a
lot
of
our
older
neighborhoods
have
been,
you
know,
left
on
their
own
for
15
and
20
years
and
I'm
not
left
on
their
own,
but
maybe
didn't
get
as
much
attention
as
they
needed
to
while
the
city
was
rapidly
expanding.
So
this
brings
some
of
the
focus
back
to
some
of
the
challenges
that
the
historic
neighborhoods
are
facing
and
and
I
just
I
look
forward
to
the
the
plaque
at
my
house
this
next
summer
to
Kelly
and
I
just
got
to
finish.
Writing
the
entire
history.
O
C
Again,
just
thank
you.
I
think
this
is
a
great
ground-up
ways,
a
way
to
make
the
city
better
I
like
that.
It
connects
with
aligns
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
that's
great
for
where
you
guys,
as
a
group,
that
you
can
advocate
and
say
we
need
this,
and
it's
consistent
with
our
plan.
They're
consistent
with
the
city's
plan
right,
so
I
think
that's
good
also
wanted
to
commend
you
on
some
of
the
SWOT
analysis
and
goals.
H
Councilmember
black,
thank
you
and
bow
and
say
thank
you
more,
but
thank
you
more
I
guess
for
mine
is
more
of
a
comment
and
I
see
Bob
mark
back
there
and
I
know
that
we've
gone
through
several
iterations
city
managers
and
staff
in
that
role,
but
I
really
believe
strongly
that
the
city
should
be
taking
an
active
role
in
developing
these
types
of
neighborhood
plans,
not
just
in
Timmins
growth
but
elsewhere
and
I.
Think
it's
incumbent
upon
us
to
help
build
that
sense
of
community
and
bring
our
resources
to
bear
to
make
that
happen.
H
So,
as
we
start
talking
about
getting
more
and
more
folks
involved
in
these
types
of
processes
and
2020
and
beyond,
I
really
think
that
we
should
be
leveraging
our
staff
as
much
as
possible
to
make
that
happen,
because
it
means
all
seen
this
these
types
of
reports,
these
types
of
plans
bring
good,
so
I'm
excited
and
I
wanted
to,
as
they
start
our
budgeting
process
in
the
next
year.
What
does
that
look
like,
as
their
financial
cost
is
at
a
time
cost
and
I
really
am
excited
that
staff
is
embracing.
N
N
It's
one
thing
to
have,
of
course,
the
city
and
the
city
resources
need
to
be
about
available,
specifically
infrastructure.
That's
our
job,
but
I
think
that
if
the
community
members
want
something
they
need
to
get
together
like
you
did
present
their
idea.
This
is
what
we
want
for
our
community
rather
than
you
know
the
city
going
in
and
saying
this
is
a
plan
we've
assigned
I
think
that's
much
more
effective
and
developed
some
more
sustainable,
strong
neighborhood.
G
And
I
just
want
to
I
wanted
to
chime
in
and
say,
I
think,
there's
also
something
to
be
said
for
neighborhoods
that
have
a
larger
concentration
of
lower-income
people
because
to
be
able
to
participate
in
a
process.
That
is
this
engaging
like
it's
a
really
good
thing,
but
it
also
requires
somebody
to
be
able
to
carve
that
out
in
their
schedule
which
a
lot
of
our
residents,
for
example,
on
the
west
side
can't
and
so
the
support
that
we
can
lend
them.
G
A
A
We
are
going
to
be
skipping
item
6b
this
evening
because
of
an
illness,
and
we
will
have
that
at
a
subsequent
Committee
of
the
Whole
meeting
and
we're
going
to
move
to
item
6c
and
under
item
6
of
your
presentation
and
discussion
of
the
2019
and
falton
concrete
road
work,
as
requested
by
the
public
works
department
and
so
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Gleason
and
staff.
Thank.
I
You,
mayor
and
council,
this
is
something
that
I
promised
earlier
in
the
year
when
we
were
going
through
the
local
motor
fuel
tax
discussion
March
April
of
this
year.
This
is
going
to
be
a
culmination
of
our
construction
work
throughout
the
course
of
2019
and
you're,
going
to
see
this
at
the
Committee
of
the
Whole
meeting
every
November
going
forward.
I
It's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
show
you
as
a
council,
but
probably
more
so
the
community,
what
we're
actually
doing
with
the
tax
payer
dollars
that
are
invested
in
the
state,
motor
fuel
tax
and
local
motor
fuel
tax.
It
also
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
recognize
staff
that
have
participated
in
this.
The
Union
participation,
the
state
with
I
dot,
but
then
also
the
local
contractors
that
were
very
much
part
of
these
projects
and
made
this
I
believe
an
extremely
successful
construction
season.
So
roadwork
wrap-up
here
you
go
Jim.
P
Thank
you,
city
manager,
Gleason,
mayor
and
city
council,
it's
the
perfect
night
to
talk
about
roadwork
wrap-up,
because
it's
a
committee
of
the
whole
and
it
took
a
committee
to
get
all
of
this
work
done.
There
is
a
lot
of
people
to
thank
there's.
A
lot
of
this
is
really
a
celebration.
A
lot
of
the
work.
That's
happened
very
picture
driven.
Those
are
the
only
words
you're
gonna
see
as
the
intro
slide.
That's
this.
It's
all
photos
I'd
like
to
first
start
with
our
own
crews
and
the
work
that
they
do.
P
P
Thank
you
for
that.
She
loves
that.
No,
she
doesn't.
She
has
leopard
print
steel,
toed
boots
and
I
love
that,
because
that's
the
kind
of
flair
that
she's
got
great
style
and
and
a
great
superintendent,
she
runs
a
crew
of
19
employees
and
she
belongs
to
Tim's
get
stuff
done
Club.
So
she
very
much
is
always
dispatching
and
getting
a
lot
of
the
work
on
our
streets
done.
Our
employees
in
that
area
also
we're
really
proud
of
them,
because
they
don't
just
do
the
asphalt
and
concrete
you'll
see.
P
That,
of
course,
was
some
of
the
asphalt
work
that
we
do.
This
is
Jason
Kennedy
I
think
I've
mentioned
him
multiple
times
before.
He
is
a
maintenance
worker
of
the
year
in
the
state
of
Illinois
a
year
ago,
and
so
we're
really
proud
of
the
work
that
he
does.
He
runs
the
hot
asphalt
crew
throughout
the
year
got
by
the
end
of
the
year
ago,
I
probably
bought
23
hundred
or
more
tons
of
asphalt
put
down,
and
they
do
that
by
hand.
He
and
his
crews.
P
His
laborers
are
always
very
strong,
so
we're
really
proud
of
them,
but
it's
not
just
about
the
asphalt
that
we
do.
We
also
have
done
about
sixty
patches
of
concrete
work,
but
we
also
do
the
traffic
line
painting
on
our
night
crew.
Many
people
don't
know
that
we
also
take
care
of
our
traffic
and
science.
We
have
25,000
traffic
control
signs,
so
a
lot
of
the
work
that
gets
done
by
our
own
crews
throughout
the
city.
They
they
do
this
every
day,
day
in
and
day
out,
I'm.
P
In
addition,
whenever
you
see
leaf
collection,
whenever
you
see
snow
removal,
whenever
you
see
the
spring
and
fall
bulk
waste
collection,
the
employees
and
streets
and
sewers
also
step
in
and
help
supplement
the
workforce
to
be
able
to
get
that
done.
So
again,
you
all
fold
utility
work
that
our
folks
do
and
a
shout
out
to
aldermen
Crabill
councilmember
Craig
bill
who
came
and
actually
threw
some
hot
asphalt.
We
were
really
welcome.
P
All
of
you
to
come
do
that
it
is
a
wonderful
opportunity,
even
lent
him,
my
steel
toed
shoes,
and
then
he
got
him
dirty,
which
was
great
all
right.
So
again,
we're
really
thankful
for
the
work
that
our
own
staff
does.
They
do
a
wide
range
of
type
of
work.
We're
we're
gonna,
shift
necks
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
concrete
work
that
is
done.
So
our
sidewalk
work
specifically
I'd
like
to
highlight
for
you
one
specific
project
out
of
all
of
the
amazing
sidewalk
work.
P
That's
done,
I'd
like
to
talk
about
the
regional
alternative
school.
This
is
right
over
on
Washington
West,
Washington,
408,
West,
Washington
principal
Brian
Kendall.
He
also
gives
a
shout-out
and
a
thanks
to
our
city
manager,
deputy
city
manager,
specifically
deputy
city
manager,
Titus,
who
attended
a
lot
of
those
meetings.
There
was
a
really
creative
project
that
was
done
here
at
this
at
this
school
right
in
front
of
the
school.
The
city
contributed.
The
school
also
contributed
some
money,
and
the
labor
unions
also
contributed
some
effort,
so
we
were
really
thankful.
P
They
get
the
gildner
and
start
provided
discounts
for
some
of
the
work
that
they
did,
because
they
were
helping
to
train
some
of
the
some
of
these
students.
One
student
in
particular
I'd
like
to
highlight
for
you,
his
name
is
Michael
and
he
is
a
student
of
regional
alternative
school
and
he
participated
actually
was
out
learning
some
of
the
trade
those
days
and
we're
really
really
proud
of
it.
P
An
eighteen-year-old
senior
who
wants
to
work
in
the
trades
he's
actually
out
every
day,
working
with
finishing,
laying
some
of
the
brickwork
and
they
actually
even
the
Steve
gildner
was
going
to
be
furnishing
a
letter
for
Michael,
so
he
has
the
opportunity
to
get
into
the
apprenticeship
program
in
a
quote
from
Michael.
This
is
an
experience,
so
we
were
really
really
proud
of
that.
P
I
give
a
lot
of
thanks
to
Steve
Arnie,
who
is
right
there
and
is
gonna,
stand
up
and
again
hate
standing
up
yeah
his
brainchild
really
need
how
a
partner
not
just
to
them,
but
the
property
owners.
So
again
we
were.
We
were
thankful
for
that
because
for
Joe
and
Ruth
Haney
you
know
we
a
lot
of
our
council
know
them.
They
were
wonderful
participant
participants
and
helped.
P
Melissa
han
also
was
wonderfully
helpful
in
this
process
too,
as
the
economic
development
coordinator
and
really
trying
to
make
sure
we
kept
our
downtown
keeping
us
as
uniform
as
we
can
and
a
lot
of
the
efforts,
because
we
even
incorporated
historic
brick
from
some
of
the
building
in
the
pavers.
So
it
was
really
a
great
a
great
program.
Moving
on,
we
didn't
have
other
sidewalk
work.
I
wanted
to
highlight
that,
but
we
also
did
approximately
three
miles
of
sidewalk
work
this
fiscal
year.
So
a
lot
of
sidewalk
work
was
completed.
P
P
So
much
better
before
and
after
I
got
to
do
it
one
more
time,
so
this
is
this
is
the
before
shot
and
again
this
is
more
an
historic
neighborhood
to
where
we
had
some
of
the
curb
guard
on
our
on
our
sidewalk,
which
is
more
unique
and
it's
can
such
unique
amenities
to
the
neighborhood.
So
this
is
a
great
improvement,
and
so
we
really
want
to
give
a
lot
of
thanks
to
that
now
we're
switching
gears
to
pavement
preservation.
This
is
an
aerial
video
done
by
actually
Tony
maws
Ellis.
P
P
P
You
can
see
what
this
does
is.
This
is
petroleum
oil
that
is
placed
in
different
streets,
a
lot
of
them,
the
ones
that
are
cat5
you
can
see.
They
were
the
ones
that
had
more
of
the
more
cracks
on
them,
and
so
they
were
really
trying
to
seal
those
in.
So
we
were
able
to
put
asphalt
chips
I'm
in
those
and
be
able
to
try
to
seal
that
up
the
reclamation
that
actually
was
a
little
thinner
on
newer
on
newer
streets,
a
key
takeaway
that
I
like
to
focus
on
council
before
we
get
off.
P
This
is
whenever
you
put
this
down,
sometimes
folks
will
say:
oh
it's
oily,
there's,
there's
dust
from
it.
What
I
want
to
focus
on
is
we
need
to
talk
to
residents
a
week
or
two
after
we're
done,
because
once
that
oil
is
cured
and
once
we
have
the
street
sweepers
through,
for
example,
we
were
over
in
the
Fox
Creek
pepper,
Ridge
area
just
tomorrow.
Today,
I
got
a
call
from
a
lady
in
over
in
pepper
Ridge.
Oh,
it's
dusty.
P
We
were
concerned
well,
just
tomorrow
is
when
the
street
sweepers
are
going
through
to
clean
that
up.
So
the
positive
thing
that
our
council
needs
to
hear
is
once
this
is
done
and
once
it's
cured.
This
is
the
type
of
system
that
we
need
to
do
to
be
able
to
stretch
our
dollars
to
be
able
to
keep
our
overall
pavement
system
in
place.
We
talked
about
this
a
lot
as
a
staff,
because
reclamators
90
cents
per
square
yard
and
the
cat5
is
two
dollars
and
20
cents
per
square
yard.
P
P
We've
got
a
lot
of
ground
to
cover
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
Front
Street,
so
Front
Street
I'm,
going
to
show
you
the
end
of
the
process
of
the
front
street,
and
while
doing
that,
we
don't
have
anybody
JTED
sloth,
it's
not
here,
but
I'm
gonna
give
a
shout
out
to
Jay
tech,
sloth,
Bobby
maze
and
Dave
land
on
Front
Street
between
Madison
and
East
you're,
going
to
see,
as
many
of
you
know,
amazing
improvement
through
there.
We've
got
a
lot
of
work
done.
P
P
If
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
go
to
Bloomington
streets,
calm,
it
really
tracks
how
much
money
we're
bringing
in
where
it's
gone,
two
tracks
the
state
work
and
all
of
the
different
LM
ft
we're
really
trying
to
be
as
transparent
as
we
can
be
throughout
the
process
about
the
revenue.
That's
brought
in
front
Street.
What
makes
it
such
a
great
project
is
it
used
to
be
pretty
much
just
a
vehicular
corridor,
a
buses,
bus,
heavy
vehicular
corridor,
but
a
lot
of
people
walk
on
Front
Street.
P
We
had
some
issues
on
the
traffic
signals
to
where
the
conduit
was
failing.
The
traffic
signals
that
were
put
in
in
the
40s
and
50s
there
was
failing,
and
so
he
said
instead
of
just
putting
back
what
was
there?
Is
there
a
better
way
to
do
it
and
I'd
like
to
highlight
Kevin
Cote
our
city
engineer,
Kevin,
Kobe,.
P
All
of
the
work
done
in
the
engineering
division
has
a
huge
credit
to
that
man
he's
been
in
the
city
for
31
years.
Anybody
who's
worked
with
him.
I
often
say
he's
the
smartest
person
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
no
offense
to
anybody
else,
but
very
intelligent
man
does
a
great
job.
So
we're
really
thankful
for
his
leadership,
but
he
was
one
of
the
first
people.
That
said,
should
we
just
do
what
was
there
already?
P
Can
we
think
of
a
different
way
to
do
it,
and
so
now
it's
very
pedestrian
friendly,
and
so
it's
very,
as
you
can
see,
it's
really
reduced
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
we've
got
for
people
to
be
able
to
make
crossing.
What
I
will
say
is
also
before
the
end
of
the
week,
we're
going
to
be
having
the
rectangular
rapid
flashing
beacons
in
place
and
the
permanent
stop
signs
in
place.
So
it
will
be
done
so
we'll
be
really
happy
and
excited
about
that
work
so
that
those
are
also
very
good
improvements.
P
The
next
we're
going
to
switch
over
to
resurfacing
and
Scott,
gave
me
ten
minutes,
so
I
actually
had
20.
So
I
got
another
ten
I'll
be
shorter,
that
they'll
be
shorter.
The
next
ten,
but
I
still
got
a
little
time.
Nice
try
Scott,
okay,
so
next
we're
going
to
talk
about
resurfacing
the
resurfacing.
We
actually
got
18
streets
accomplished
during
the
during
the
nine
twenty
nineteen
construction
season.
P
We
we
had
a
nineteen
thousand
five
hundred
fifty
feet
of
streets
were
removed
and
replaced,
and
that
equates
to
three
point:
seven
miles
three
point:
seven
miles
of
roadways
improved
within
the
city,
ten
thousand
six
hundred
tons
of
asphalt
put
down
and
so
again
really
some
great
work
all
across
the
city.
Now.
What
comes
up
next
is
really
add
some
more
fun
video
here
in
just
a
minute
of
GE
Road,
and
when
we're
doing
this
I
like
to
highlight
our
partners
here,
we
go.
This
should
be
the
next
one.
P
It's
gonna
be
a
wonderful
aerial
view
again
done
by
a
drone
of
the
milling
on
GE.
While
this
process
is
being
shown,
I'll
rope
I'd
like
to
see
if
you'd
stand
up
now
with
United
contractors,
Midwest
row
divisions
Al's
been
here
for
50
years,
I
think
something
like
that
as
long
as
they
have
been
around
a
long
time
and
he's
been
here
for
quite
a
long
time
and
working
locally
with
all
of
our
asphalt's
over
again
we're
really
thankful
for
their
partnership.
Some
really
cool
video.
P
You
can
see
now
of
the
pavement,
that's
being
put
down
on
GE
Road.
So
again,
some
some
great
accomplishments
here
of
what's
been
done
in
the
city.
There
is
work
left
to
be
done.
We
are
because
of
the
weather.
We
are
going
to
continue
work
in
the
spring,
but
one
of
one
of
our
big
goals
was
to
show
you
the
excellent
work.
That's
been
accomplished,
the
partnership
among
a
lot
of
different
people
and
what
we
do
have
to
celebrate
again.
I'll
encourage
our
council
to
go
out
to
Bloomington
streets,
calm,
transparent,
a
lot
of
information.
P
There's
a
lot
of
work
coming
up
over
the
next
five
years
in
the
state
of
Illinois,
so
we're
gonna,
see
over
the
next
five
years.
Is
going
to
be
a
very
exciting
time
for
the
city
of
Bloomington?
So
with
that
being
said,
we'd
like
to
take
any
questions
that
you've
got
while
the
video
is
still
playing.
Okay,.
A
Q
But
at
the
same
time,
though,
I
was
reminded
that
in
about
a
a
couple
of
weeks
or
two,
then
you
know
the
road
would
be
almost
perfect
for
me
to
drive
on
so
just
a
reminder
to
all
citizens
that
you
know,
especially
as
you
mentioned,
that
we're
gonna
see
a
lot
of
work
in
the
next.
You
know
four
or
five
years
that
we
need
to
experience
those
frustrations.
It's
for
a
good
reason.
Thank
you.
Thank
You,
councilmember,.
O
Thank
You
mayor,
oh
thanks,
Jim
to
you
and
all
the
staff,
I
really
appreciated
what
you
were
saying
about.
The
the
reckless
I
did
get
a
bunch
of
comments
when
bizzle
Street
got
done
in
the
South
Hill
neighborhood,
and
the
only
thing
that
some
residents
had
asked
is
maybe
that
alerting
process
that
it's
going
to
happen
be
expanded
out
a
little
bit
more.
O
The
people
who
live
right
on
the
road
got
notified,
but
the
people
who
you
know
since
it's
kind
of
an
arterial
into
that
neighborhood,
the
people
that
lived
a
few
blocks
in
didn't
know
it
was
happening
and
we're
very
confused.
So
they
were
driving
over
oil
and
before
the
actual
reclamation
on
top
of
the
oil.
So
but
otherwise,
even
there
was
complaints
like,
like
you
said
like
two
or
three
days,
and
then
they
all
completely
went
away.
O
C
A
great
presentation
and
I'm
glad
you
brought
other
people
from
the
department
to
share,
and
so
we
can
express
our
gratitude
to
them.
So
thank
you
and
I
want
to
kind
of
ask
a
couple
questions.
You
said
Bloomington
streets.
What's
the
traffic
like
on
that,
like
meaning
not
street
traffic,
but
on
the
website
we.
P
C
P
No
yes,
and
no,
we
really
want
to
get
everything
done.
We
actually
have
some
work,
that's
going
to
be
carried
over
into
the
spring
okay,
and
so,
while
we'd
love,
this
is
a
great
celebration.
We
do
have
until
May
first
to
continue
to
get
some
of
it
in
the
fiscal
year
to
get
some
work
done.
So
we
are
for
our
budget,
that's
what
we
have.
So
there
are
some
projects,
they'll
be
getting
done
in
the
spring
to
more
to
celebrate
next
year
as.
C
P
And
some
of
that,
as
that
comes
in
we
had
to
you,
know
you
couldn't
proactively
spend,
so
we
were
collecting
that
so
we
can
anticipate
for
next
year
and
we
did
forecast
that
to
the
council.
We,
so
we
spent
a
certain
amount
during
this
fiscal
year
of
the
revenue
that
was
coming
in,
knowing
that
we
would
have
to
build
up
so
that
we
could.
We
could
have
a
larger
resurfacing
contract
for
next
year.
Right.
Okay,.
C
And
I'm
gonna
go
off-topic
just
real
briefly.
He
talked
about
kind
of
what
the
state
plans
to
do
right
in
additional
money.
There's
been
a
couple
of
deaths
on
veterans
and
I
know:
that's
not
the
city,
but
what
kind
of
communication
are
you
guys?
Having
with
with
the
state
on
on
trying
to
figure
out
some
solutions
to
stop
that
from
happening?
Yeah.
P
So
thank
you
for
highlighting
the
fact
that
the
unfortunate
deaths
that
have
happened
on
Veterans
Parkway,
that
is
a
state
route,
and
we
know
that
it
impacts
a
lot
of
our
citizens,
and
our
elected
cares
about
that
of
course.
But
what
I
will
say
is
you
know?
The
city
has,
you
know
talked
with
the
state
that
we've
actually
encouraged
residents
have
called
us
to
also
talk
to
the
state.
Some
of
the
key
that
will
happen,
though,
is
that
route
nine
project.
P
We
actually,
even
though
it's
through
the
state
of
Illinois,
we're
trying
to
put
as
much
as
we
can
out
there
for
our
on
our
website,
because
we
know
people
come
to
us
when
the
state
when
the
state
routes
are
in
the
city
of
Bloomington,
they
don't
go
to
the
state.
They
come
to
the
city.
So
we're
trying
to
put
as
much
as
we
can
on
our
website.
N
P
A
G
About
me
anyway,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
work
and
thank
you
for
using
this
platform
to
shout
out
the
staff
that
don't
often
get
a
ton
of
public
recognition,
a
quick
question-
and
maybe
this
is
a
silly
one.
But
while
we're
on
the
topic
of
streets,
I
mean
I.
Think
last
understood-
and
this
was
before
I
was
on
council-
there
was
a
there
was
a
street
plan.
That
was
that
was
that
this
council
well
I,
guess
not
this
council,
but
the
last
council
did
work
on,
but
was
never.
It
was
never
approved.
P
That
actually
was
not
a
resurfacing
I
mean.
Let
me
just
highlight
that
is
good,
good
question.
It
is
a
draft
streets
master
plan
that
was
done
by
Hansen
engineering,
I'm
gonna,
say
probably
in
2016
2017
and
it
highlighted
25
larger
capital.
Some
of
some
notes,
the
city
staff
actually
has
been
taking
forward
movement
on
Hamilton,
Road,
Fox
Creek
and
has
looked
at
some
of
the
other
roads
as
well.
So
staff
can
revisit
that.
G
I
guess
but
yeah
I
wasn't
entirely
clear
whether
that's
something
that
needed
to
come
to
council
and
then
just
for
whatever
reason
there.
There
wasn't
consensus
on
here
about
what
those
projects
needed
to
be,
but
that
is
something
that
I
would
certainly
would
be
interested
in
having
as
a
conversation,
maybe
in
the
new
year.
Good.
M
Reminds
me
so
thank
you.
Jim
for
everything
and
I
also
just
want
to
note
that
you
and
your
staff
are
very
responsive
whenever
I
reach
out
I
appreciate
that.
So
thank
you
and
we
I
think
we
had
had
a
conversation
relatively
recently
about
going
forward
and
you
would
mention
that
there
there
is
going
to
be
a
process
by
which
we
will
be
able
to
participate
more
in
the
future,
determination
of
which
streets
and
sidewalks
and
I
just
wondered.
If
you
could
speak
to
that,
I.
P
Would
love
to
probably
not
enough
time,
but
I
will
do
what
I
can
so
I'll
get
the
shepherd's
hook
on
me
here
pretty
soon,
but
do
tea.
Software
is
something
that
infrastructure
solutions
is
something
that
city
council
approved
and
we
have
been
working
diligently
on
putting
our
own
streets
into
the
software
that
way
that
we've
got
the
ratings.
We've
been
working
on
the
ratings
since
2009,
and
so
that
was
input
into
the
software,
and
then
it
does
the
optimization
and
spits
out
something
for
the
next
five
years
and
with
then.
P
The
intention
is
that's
the
beginning.
So
then,
then,
there's
the
dialogue
with
the
council
and
how
do
they?
You
know
the
input
from
the
citizens,
but
then
also
what
are
the
water
projects?
What
are
the
sewer
projects
that
constrain
and
say
that's
great,
but
now
we
have
to
do
this
street,
so
all
of
those
meshed
together.
It
is
a
newer
software.
We
were.
This
is
one
of
those
it
was
on
the
more
on
the
cutting
edge.
We
were
one
of
the
first
communities
in
America
to
do
this.
P
This
is
one
in
Kay,
more
Canadian
software,
so
we've
been
working
with
them
on
some
conversion,
but
actually
it's
been
going
great.
We're
really
excited.
We
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
really
great
tool.
We've
actually
made
some
presentations
at
professional
organizations
about
this
and
we
think
more
people
are
going
to
start
using
this
software.
So
we
will
at
some
point
when
we're
ready
we're
working
to
try
to
get
that
out
to
our
council.
A
I
Right,
Thank,
You,
mayor
and
council.
This
is
something
new
as
well.
We
see
the
police
and
firemen
and
Public
Safety
recognize
new
officers.
They
come
before
council,
they
have
moments
with
family
and
that's
absolutely
the
right
thing
to
do.
I
think
we've
been
remiss
and
not
recognizing
other
new
employees
to
the
city
and
we're
going
to
be
doing
that
every
committee
the
whole
going
forward.
I
So
for
this
month
we
have
two
and
they've
been
invited,
I'm,
not
sure,
if
they're
here
tonight,
but
we
have
Anastasia
and
Dominic
that
have
started
with
the
city
would
have
been
in
October
recognizing
them
now
in
the
November
committee,
the
whole
both
started
with
Public,
Works
and
I
do
not
see
either
one
of
them
so
we'll
move
on,
go
for
it
Scott
and
then
also
in
the
October
28th
edition
of
the
pantograph.
We
had
over
50
submissions
for
first
responder
recognition
well
of
the
ten
that
were
selected.
I
Four
of
them
belong
to
us
and
we
have
Erica
Owens
firefighter.
That
was
recognized,
justin
Shively
and
Ryker,
a
k-9
unit
that
was
recognized
and
the
other
two
are
Scott
de
Bloomington
high
school
resource
officer
and
Frank
friend
with
the
fire
department,
were
for
the
10
that
were
recognized
in
that
October
28th
edition
of
the
pantograph,
but
that
also
here,
and
why
that
day,
it's
because
it's
national
First
Responder
day.
So
it
was
a
recognition
that
occurred
here
in
McClain,
County
and
then
also
upcoming.
Thanks
God
upcoming
agenda
items
of
significance.
I
Our
next
meeting
is
October
28th,
one
item
is
recycling
and
what
we
have
found
is,
while
we
were
trying
to
track
a
downward
trend
in
revenue
on
recycling,
we've
had
an
even
worse
year
than
we
projected
when
we
created
the
FY
2008.
So
before
council
is
going
to
come
a
budget
amendment
amendment,
because
it's
costing
us
more,
it
will
come
out
of
the
solid
waste
account.
So
one
of
the
funds
that
we
have
another
item
of
interest,
that
I
believe
and
there's
others,
but
I'm
just
throwing
out
a
couple
that
I
think
stand
out.
I
Loulou's
we're
gonna
have
two
items:
liquor
license
is
going
to
come
before
council.
Also
the
development
agreement-
and
it
will
not
have
the
word
gaming
in
the
name,
so
that
will
come
before
council
on
I,
think
I
said:
October
25th
I
didn't
mean
that
November
25th
so
next
week
and
then,
after
that,
we
have
in
and
there's
been
a
little
bit
of
press
I.
Think.
Actually,
there
was
an
article
in
the
paper,
this
Sunday
December,
2nd
joint
meeting
with
the
town
of
normal
and
the
sole
topic
is
Sports
Complex.
I
I
It
sounds
you
know
as
if
this
is
something
that's
been
discussed
for
several
years,
but
just
prior
to
my
arrival
last
year,
July
of
18
there
was
a
study
that
had
been
completed
and
we're
pushing
about
a
year
and
four
months
here
in
five
months
and
we're
looking
for
what
the
next
steps
are.
Because
of
projection
on
this
project.
Is
it's
43
million
dollars
a
while
I
believe
that
there
is
private
interest?
There
is
not
that
private
interest
that
is
taking
the
lead
on
this.
So
it
comes
before
the
city
in
the
town.
I
They
have
this
discussion
and
see
what
the
next
steps
are.
What
we
do
see
is
the
next
steps
that's
been
discussed
is
round
2
of
the
sfa.
That's
the
company,
the
firm,
the
consultant
round
to
potentially
gets
approved,
and
that's
at
a
cost
of
about
fifty
or
sixty
thousand
dollars.
So
just
a
discussion.
We
know
that
we're
absent
a
whole
lot
of
information
and
the
possibilities,
but
it's
just
bringing
this
before
the
community
and
have
an
open
discussion
about
it.
A
It's
just
done
that
with
the
respect
of
the
convention,
Visitors,
Bureau
and,
and
the
some
of
the
media
attention
on
that
is,
the
I
think
there's
pretty
broad
agreement
that
the
private
sector
needs
to
help.
Take
the
lead
on
that.
The
question
is:
how
do
we
manage
that?
Would
it
be
a
Blue
Ribbon
Commission
that
that
takes
the
lead
or
what
might
that
be
and
I
think
that's.
That
was
the
spirit
of
the
discussion.
Actually
we're
really
not
mr.
Gleason,
you
have
one
more.
I
Yep
cannabis,
just
sharing
that
that's
anticipated
to
be
a
December
council
meeting,
we're
still
tracking
that
way,
we'll
look
to
council
to
see
what
potential
next
steps
are
for,
potentially
the
November
25th
meeting
and
possibly
the
December
9th
meeting
before
potentially
a
December
16th
vote.
But
if
there
is
nothing
else
needed
planned,
Commission
met
and
they've
offered
a
recommendation
to
Council.
This
could
be
enough
to
satisfy
the
majority
of
the
council
and
come
before
council
on
December
9th.
I
H
I
You
guys
have
done
your
homework.
You've
listened
to
constituents,
you
know,
while
there's
a
whole
lot
of
information.
That's
you
know
still
to
be
determined.
It's
just
do
we
want
to
take
that
next
step
and
like
the
mayor's
comment,
you
know
about
the
private
sector
interest.
You
know
maybe
identify
that,
but
that
could
be
the
next
step
in
the
form
of
request
for
a
proposal
to
see
what
a
larger
Sports
Complex
project
could
look
like.
Thank.
H
G
Question
I'm,
not
surprisingly,
is
on
cannabis.
So
knowing
that
there
have
been
a
lot
of
public
engagement
and
a
lot
of
people
who
are
invested
in
the
issue,
you
know
I
have
had
people
asking
me
about
what
are
the
upcoming,
like
dates,
that
this
is
going
to
be
on
the
agenda
and
so
I
think
you
had
said
that
you're
still
waiting
on
some
directives
or
feedback
to
figure
out,
what's
going
to
happen
on
November
25th
I
mean
it's
not
something
that
we
can
do
it
like.
What
what
are
you
looking
for
from
Council.
I
To
finalize
soliciting
some
feedback,
you
know
is
this
discussion.
I
would
not
imagine
on
this
topic.
It's
unanimous,
but
is
there
majority
support
that
we've
heard
enough
and
we're
just
waiting
for
this
to
be
a
council
item
in
December,
or
is
there
a
majority
support
that
there
is
invitations,
while
inves
invitations
were
extended
to
many
in
the
community?
For
the
plan
commission,
do
we
want
to
extend
those
invitations
to
key
players
and
have
them
present
either
under
public
comment
or
a
larger
longer
venue
as
an
agenda
item
at
one
of
the
regular
council
meetings.
A
A
I
A
I
True,
you
know
he
has
an
aside
running
a
parallel
path.
You
know.
Definitely
you
know
we're
all
hands
on
deck
for
things
outside
of
what
the
plan
Commission
just
discussed,
because
you're
right
this
does
become
legal
on
January
1st.
But
to
your
specific
question
we'll
be
publishing
the
agenda
for
November
25th
Thursday.
You
know
lunch
time.
So
I've
got
a
couple
of
days
to
seek
input
from
you
guys,
if
not
tonight,
I
guess.
G
Just
a
course
thing,
so
you
know
from
my
perspective
and
I
think
I
share
this
with
you
via
email,
but
for
the
purpose
of
contributing
to
that
clarity.
I
do
think
that
we've
given
folks
a
lot
of
opportunity
in
the
last
several
months
to
engage
either
with
the
task
force
or
with
the
Planning
Commission
or
to
come
and
make
comments
to
this
body
and
and
I
would
like
to
see
us
put
it
on
the
agenda
as
soon
as
possible.
A
P
A
C
To
the
manager's
report,
I
would
just
say
that
we
do
have
two
other
opportunities.
If
we
did
have
the
vote
on
December
9th
people
can
come
and
speak
and
during
public
comment
and
before
the
next
meeting
before
the
December
9th
meeting
and-
and
we
can
all
if
we
have
people
that
we
think
the
rest
of
Council
should
here,
we
can
request
that
they
come
to
speak
during
during
that
already
allotted
time
period
or
submit
things
in
writing
as
I
still
think.
A
Just
on
that,
just
as
much
as
possible
when,
when
comments
are
made,
if
people
could
focus
them
on
the
things
that
we
have
control
over
right,
it's
going
to
be
legal
in
Illinois.
That's
that
part
it
has
been
decided.
There
are
48
states
that
have
either
decriminalized
or
legalized
medical
or
regular
marijuana.
Some
people
have
said:
well,
the
federal
government
hasn't
legalized
it
that's
true,
but
they're
not
likely
to
sue
48
states,
but
regardless
they
aren't
gonna
be
suing
us.
A
Q
So
related
to
the
city,
manager's
comments
like
I,
think
we
have
a
couple
members
or
not
here
today,
so
I
think
I
would
rather
we
wait
until
December,
whether
its
9th
or
16th
matter
to
me,
but
I,
also
think
we
probably
should
wait
for
the
Planning
Commission's
minutes
right.
Those
would
be
included
they're,
not
it.
I
O
And
then
the
other
thought
I
had
is
for
the
November
25th
meeting.
I,
don't
know
if
it's
too
fast
or
not,
but
I
would
like
to
see
some,
maybe
some
conversation
on
the
trailer
bill.
That's
out
right
now,
I
haven't
finished,
reading
the
entire
thing
and
I.
Don't
know
that
I'm
always
the
greatest
at
translating
the
Illinois
General
Assembly
into
English,
but
it's
400
and
something
additional
pages
and
to
see
if
maybe
they
fixed
some
of
the
things
that
we
thought
were
problematic
inside
of
that
bill.
A
Thanks
again,
if
we
could,
given
that
we
also
don't
have
two
members
here,
send
any
of
that
feedback
to
mr.
Gleason.
Okay,
all
right-
and
at
this
point
we
don't
have
an
executive
sponsor
you,
okay,
the
we
don't
have
an
executive
session.
So
at
this
point,
is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn
whoa
I'm
gonna
go
to
the
first
door
in
chief
all
of
Anila
long
way,
man,
that's
some
of
the
greatest
enthusiasm
I've
seen
in
a
while
there
and
the
second
by
councilmember
black,
all
the
favors
bye-bye
thing.
I
again,
those
who
pose
can
stay.
