A
I'll
call
to
order
this
special.
A
A
A
To
in
the
parks,
funding
upcoming,
so
paula,
anything
else
that
we
need
to
mention
before
we.
B
We
have
a
lot
to
say
a
lot
to
share,
but
it's
also
our
time
every
year
to
talk
about.
B
All
the
wonderful
things
that
the
parks
and
recreation
department
does
some
of
our
challenges.
B
C
B
B
First,
but
the
the
process,
for
this
is
again
is,
is
your
review
and
approval
today
and
then.
B
The
opportunity
to
ask
questions
either
about
the
work
that
we're
currently
doing
this
year.
B
From
city
council
that
we
follow
up
on
and
then
the
final
budget
won't
be
passed
until
october,.
B
There's
some
back
and
forth
question
and
answer
and
and
then
we
move
forward
that
way,
so
it's.
B
Quite
quite
a
lengthy
process,
we're
about
I'd,
say
about
three
quarters
of
the
way
through.
B
Quite
a
bit
of
discussion
back
and
forth
on
that
and
then
of
course,
the
controller's.
B
Funding
which
you
will
see
in
my
presentation
as
well,
but
that
financial
report
that
was.
B
B
Are
broken
down
into
their
program
areas,
so
we
can
definitely
monitor
and
know
how
much.
B
Format
for
communicating
our
plans
and
and
what
it
costs
to
to
run
the
department
and
the
size.
B
B
So
here
we
are,
I'm
paula,
mcdevitt,
the
director
of
the
city
of
bloomington
parks
and
recreation.
B
And,
first
and
foremost,
starting
off
with
our
our
mission
and
and
why.
We
exist
as
a
department.
B
We,
like
our
infographs
in
this
department.
This
is
a
fun
way
to
outline
what
we're
responsible
for.
B
Can't
emphasize
enough
the
84
million
dollars
worth
of
assets.
B
B
In
accredited
departments
since
2001-
and
we
go
through
that
process
every
five
years,
some.
B
Grants
and
awards
just
looking
back
briefly
at
2020,
wonderful
grant
from
the
bloomington.
B
B
B
B
So
2020
was
a
busy
year
aside
from
povid
and
all
that
that
brought,
but
it
was
also
the
year.
B
That
we
were
had
to
start
our
new
master
plan
and
the
parks
board
approved
a
consultant.
B
And
what
we
base
a
lot
of
decisions
from
so
my
next
couple
slides
are
some.
B
B
In
addition
to
that,
we
had
156
paper
copy
surveys
returned.
We
spoke
to
87
stakeholders.
B
B
B
B
B
When
we
asked
residents
what
prevents
residents
from
using
parks
and
recreation
services,
not.
B
B
People
do
and
that
we
can
see
that
number
go
down
in
the
next
next
master
plan.
The
number.
B
We
have,
and
we
currently
take
care
of
about
84
million
dollars
worth
of
assets.
B
And
then
the
number
three
area
we
should
focus
on
is
reduce
vandalism
and
address
safety.
B
B
B
So,
just
briefly,
some
of
the
challenges
we've
faced
in
pack
of
covid
we've
kept
you
very
up-to-date.
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
Restoration
in
tree
planting
community
gardens
invasive
species,
removal,
invasive
species.
B
B
Of
course,
we're
solar,
we
have
been
for
a
couple
of
years.
You
will
see
that
in
in
our
budget.
B
The
least
payment
we
make
on
that
and
happy
to
report
that
as
of
date
in
2021,
we
have
seen.
B
B
End
of
this
year,
but
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
some
of
our
our
projects.
We
opened
the
pine.
B
B
B
B
B
B
And
the
bicentennial
bond
contracted
tree
planting
project
that
again,
we
have.
B
Funding
to
plant
trees,
we
love
our
trees
and
these
maps
show
where
we
are
currently.
B
But
we
have
used
social,
economic
data
and
the
tree
canopy,
covering
percentages.
B
B
B
B
Doing
a
really
great
job
in
securing
sponsorship
dollars,
which
during
kobits
was,
was
a
struggle.
B
Allows
people
to
attend
our
performing
arts
series
for
free
and
keep
some
many
of
our.
B
Community
events
at
low
cost
or
no
cost
in
the
operations
division.
We
ongoing
remediation.
B
Of
graffiti
incidents,
installing
native
plants,
planting
trees,
developing
two
interpretive
apps.
B
B
Schedule

sold
out
again.
B
B
B
The

from
being
shut
down
last
year,
brian

two.
B
More
weekends
left,
so

will
be
compiling
our
data

share
with
you.
Mills
pool

a
couple.
B
Weeks
ago,
community
support
services.
We
had
field
rentals
again
rebounding
from
last
year.
B
Earlier
this
year,
so
we're
hoping
for
a
a
big
rebounding
season
in
the
fall
of
this
year.
B
To
meet
these
goals
in
the
sports
division
again
can't
emphasize
enough.
The
popularity
of.
B
Golf
and
renting
the
clubhouse
for
25
private
rentals
that's
got
a
check
mark
because
we.
B
B
So
now,
turning
our
attention
to
the
2020
budget
goals
same
example,
each
one
of.
B
Software
community
relations
very
active
social
media
team
in
this
area,
so
looking
to
increase
the.
B
B
B
To
interface
with
some
of
the
other
departments,
starting
a
contract
for
bridge
inspections,.
B
B
B
Oaks,
cemetery
and
this
budget
request
would
be
for
the
design
and
then
the
construction
of
that.
B
In
urban
forestry
can't
say
enough
about
planting
trees
and
pruning
trees.
B
B
Operation
and
really
realizing
the
upkeep
maintenance
monitoring
of
native
plants.
B
B
B
At
the
pavilion

developing
new
events
and
construction,
remote-controlled
car
traffic.
B
In
aquatics,
again
recovering
from
2020.
B
We
had
a
pretty
aggressive,
successful
facility,
rental
program
and
court
turf,
rentals.
B
Big
part
of
2020
and
then
again
recovering
the
numbers
at
our
bloomington
youth,
basketball,.
B
They
just
weren't
teams
to
participate
so
bringing
that
back
and
continue
to.
B
B
B
B
And
nine,
this
is
an
increase
of
81,
231
or
15
increase,
and
this
is
where
all
of
our
supplies.
B
B
B
B
An
increase
of
361,
393
or
17
increase,
and
these
are
all
the
services
contracted
services
that
we.
B
B
B
B
Storm
plan
in
the
event
of
big
storms
and
trees
come
down
an
emergency
plan.
353
water
and
sewer.
B
Repairs
again
operations,
it's
our
catch-all.
They
take
care
of
all
our
facilities,
parks,
trails.
B
B
We
see
increases
there
in
community
relations
for
video
production.
The
golf
course.
B
For
their
center
stone
contract
for
a
little
extra
help
out
there,
natural
resources
for.
B
B
Category
four,
this
is
the
capital
request
is
up
is
for
344
000.
This
is
an
increase
of
344
000..
We.
B
Other
than
building
for
the
futsal
court
and
park
ridge,
east
sport
repairs
both
basketball
and.
B
Budget
request
for
several
years
and
and
finally
making
it
into
the
budget
for
consideration.
B
B
Park
a
mower
we
have
contracted
mowing
at
switchard
park,
but
this
is
for
those
in
between.
B
Times
to
run
the
mower
right
before
an
event
just
to
keep
it
all,
looking
trim
and
ready.
B
And
in
line
451
35
000
for
community
events,
farmers
market-
these
are
for
bollards
at
the.
B
Market
entrance
at
the
city
hall
site
on
both
the
west
and
east
side
of
the
site.
B
B
B
For
operational
revenue
replacement,
so
as
I
mentioned,
we
lost
quite
a
bit
of
revenue
in
2022.
B
B
B
B
And
for
this
year
it
is
total
budget
request
for
category
one.
Two,
three
and
four.
B
Hundred
and
four
one
forty
one
or
a
fifteen
percent
increase.
So
again
the
presentation
is.
B
Heavy
in
taking
care
of
what
we
have
based
on
survey
results
and
what
our
community
has
told
us.
B
B
B
B
B
A
A
A
The
later
end
of
of
dealing
with
covet
here,
reminding
people
of
how
important
the
parks
are.
A
And
also,
secondly,
just
how
I'm
always
so
impressed
with
your
you
know:
good
stewardship
of
the.
A
To
put
our
money,
and
then
I
think
lastly,
is
I
just
had
to
look
up
futsal,
but
I,
but
now
I.
B
It
very
well
could
be
the
next
pickle
ball,
it
is
definitely
becoming
popular.
We
hear.
B
A
lot
from
our
soccer
player
user
groups
that
they
have
there
has
been
requests
to
convert.
B
A
tennis
court,
but
of
course
we
can't
do
that
because
tennis
is
so
popular,
so
we're
looking.
B
To
the
future
redevelopment
of
the
hospital
site
and
the
diversity
of
that
area
and.
B
John
turnbull
was
actually
able
to
have
a
visit
from
the
state
futsal
organizer,
so
he
consulted.
B
A
All
right
great,
thank
you
other
board
members.
Do
you
have
any
comments
or
questions
for
paula.
C
I've
got
a
couple
questions
one
question
and
this
isn't
well.
First
of
all,
the
budget's
going
up.
C
C
Expenses
because
we
brought
swiss
yard
park
online-
that's
that's
really
it.
Jim
is
switchyard.
B
Park,
we're
also
seeing
just
a
lot
of
heavy
use
of
our
parks
and
facilities,
we're
bringing
on.
B
B
B
B
Relates
to
that
thanks.
My
second
question
is
kind
of
relates
again
to
switch
yard
park.
C
C
C
C
Dollars
for
great
question-
and
I
will
say
we
are
we
are-
we
are
ninety
seven
percent
there
with.
B
B
That
the
kids
love,
but
having
said
that,
we
are
getting
incredible
usage
at
the
spray
pack.
B
Is
being
used,
so
it
all
equates
to
just
the
incredible
numbers
that
we're
seeing
down
there.
B
The
the
institutional
supplies
that
it
that
it
takes
and
wear
and
tear
you
know
again
we're
just.
B
B
B
State
of
the
and
the
size
and
all
the
amenities
that
we
have
there
but
usage
far
outweighs.
B
All
of
our
maintenance
requests
and
keeping
up
with
everything,
okay
last
question
or.
C
C
And
then
we
had
the
issues
that
we're
addressing
related
to
that
survey.
But
none.
C
Of
those
and
and
some
of
this
has
just
come
on
recently
before
that
you
know
the
goals
were.
C
B
B
The
coverage
that
we
have
and
the
reporting
that
we're
getting.
C
Appreciate
all
the
hard
work
that
everybody's
done
on
the
budget
and
look
forward
to
seeing
all.
C
D
All
for
all
the
work
that
you
do
to
put
into
that,
it's
really
nice
to
see.
I
think
the
goals.
D
Those
for
overarching
is
yeah,
and
then
from
that
is
there
also
a
measure
of.
D
The
budget
in
how
each
of
those
four
goals
is
sort
of
reflected
in
the
like.
D
Like
a
lot
of
overlapping
but
just
kind
of
curious,
no,
no
great
question
so.
B
The
strategic
action
plan
and
staff
already,
obviously
that
our
master
plan
started
this
year.
B
Is
perfect
for
goal
number
two
goal:
number
four:
for
example,
looking
at
our
administrative.
B
B
Number
four:
our
diversity
and
programming,
for
example,
working
one
of
the
goals
is
to.
B
Step
to
take
as
part
of
our
accreditation
process,
we
have
to
bring
that
strategic
action.
B
B
D
D
Measure
a
little
bit
of
almost
doing
that
same
thing
with
the
budget.
You
know,
like
all
the.
D
The
dollars
spent
kind
of
showing
like
where
they
go
back
to
those
like
over
those
guiding.
D
The
theme
is
recover
and
increase,
because
there's
so
much
good
stuff
that
we've
learned
about.
D
D
D
A
The
the
bollards
at
the
at
the
farmers
market
site
we
had,
we
had
approved
something
else.
B
Came
down
from
the
homeland
security
that
they
do
an
assessment
of
your
site,
so
you
are
correct.
B
Second,
phase
of
that
was
the
limestone
blocks
further
north,
and
these
ballers
are
for
the.
B
B
B
B
Down
and,
and
that
will
be,
you
know
useful
for
other
community
events
that,
as
we
as
a
community.
B
B
A
B
B
Questions
I'll
welcome
any
other
feedback
that
you
have
and
I
invite
you
formally
invite.
B
You
to
zoom
into
our
budget
hearing
wednesday
evening
this
wednesday
hearings
start
at.
