A
Well
good
afternoon,
I
will
call
to
order
the
December
meeting
of
this
Bloomington
Board
of
Park
Commissioners,
so
Paula
I
guess
we'll
have
a
roll
call
for
Kim
whoever's,
Ellen.
C
A
A
All
right
consent
calendar
is
approved
all
right.
So
then,
we'll
move
on
to
section
B
here
with
Awards
and
introductions,
so
I
think
Emily
buke
is
going
to
join
us
first.
D
Hello:
everyone
here
we
go
Emily
boot
community
relations
coordinator,
the
Bloomington,
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
would
like
to
recognize
John
and
Jennifer
Vickers
with
the
December
Bravo
award.
They
are
both
loyal
environmental
stewards
through
their
attendance
at
weed
wrangles
and
is
adopted
Green
Space
volunteers
as
adopted
Green,
Space
volunteers.
They
care
for
Winslow,
Woods,
Park,
removing
litter
Fallen
limbs
invasive
species
and
the
like
to
help
preserve
the
park
for
the
public.
D
They
are
also
regular
attendees
at
weed
wrangles
where
they
have
been
learning
how
to
identify
and
properly
remove
the
top
10
invasive
species
in
Monroe
County.
Whenever
they
meet
new
volunteers
or
citizens
during
their
efforts,
they
take
the
time
to
explain
why
they
care
about
environmental
stewardship
and
what
they
are
doing
to
help
preserve
our
green
spaces
for
the
future.
Jillian
and
I
are
both
extremely
grateful
for
their
service
to
our
parks
and
our
department.
D
E
F
E
You
very
much
I
mean
this,
isn't
why
we
do
what
we
do
and
we
really
enjoy
what
we
do,
but
yeah
we're
really
proud
to
live
in
a
community
that
takes
their
public
spaces
and
and
green
spaces
so
seriously.
So
thanks
for
your
work,
thanks
for
all
of
your
service.
D
C
G
D
D
So
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
TNT
pet
food
is
a
locally
owned,
family-run
business
that
has
served
the
pets
of
Bloomington
for
nearly
50
years
from
their
location
on
South,
Walnut
and
they're,
really
great
Partners
to
us.
They
sponsor
I
think
every
single
one
of
our
pet
events,
maybe
even
one
or
two
that
really
aren't
related
to
pets.
They
respond
right
away.
They
always
get
their
invoices
in
on
time,
they're
just
they're
just
outstanding
to
work
with.
D
A
All
right
so
then,
we'll
invite
JP
Ford
up
to
introduce
himself
as
the
new
Banneker
program,
specialist.
F
Hello
yeah,
like
you,
said,
I'm
JP,
Ford
I'm,
the
new
program
specialist
at
Banneker,
I'm
from
Columbus
Indiana,
originally
and
I've
worked
at
Banneker
as
a
Rec
leader
and
a
building
supervisor
with
our
after
school
programs
at
Banneker
camp
and
my
long-term
goals
are
expanding.
The
visibility
of
the
center
within
the
community
itself
and
also
increasing
the
accessibility
of
our
events
and
programming
for
more
people.
A
All
right
and
then
Tim
Street's,
going
to
join
us
for
a
few
staff
recognitions.
Yes,.
H
Just
want
to
take
a
moment
here
at
the
end
of
the
year
to
recognize
a
couple
of
long-time
operations,
staff
that
have
retired
or
are
retiring
here
in
the
tail
end
of
the
year.
H
One
of
them
is
with
us
in
person
tonight
and
I'm
hoping
the
other
is
online,
we'll
we'll
find
out
in
a
few
minutes,
but
Denny
Robertson's
here
with
us
tonight,
back
from
retirement
hunting
and
working
on
his
property
and
enjoying
time
in
Montana
I'm
sure
Denny
worked
for
the
city
of
Bloomington
for
27
years,
which
is
a
remarkably
long
time,
including
21
years
with
Parks
before
he
retired
in
September,
and
you
know,
I
didn't
get
to
overlap
with
Denny
that
much
I
know
Mark
Mark's
here
Mark
overlapped
with
Denny
for
six
or
seven
years,
then
he
was
involved
in
countless
projects.
H
He
was
one
of
our
main
meos
machine
operators
and
in
my
time
here,
Denny
was
always
up
for
any
Challenge
and
he
always
knew
someone
in
town
too,
to
like
help,
borrow
a
piece
of
equipment
or
make
something
happen.
So
I
want
to
recognize
Denny
for
his
27
years.
Danny.
Do
you
want
to
do
you
want
to
say
anything?
No,
all
right,
but
we
really
appreciate
you,
foreign.
H
Thanks
for
coming
tonight,
Denny
and
then
the
other
staff
member
is
Dave
Fox.
Who
is
our
custodial
superintendent?
Who
will
be
retiring
here
at
the
end
of
the
year?
H
He's
I
should
say:
custodial
Working
Poor
person
he's
also
been
our
Parks
operations,
superintendent,
along
with
a
handful
of
other
Parks
roles
over
his
more
than
50
years
with
the
parks
department.
So
he
started
with
parks
in
March
of
1972.
H
he
retired
once
before,
but
it
didn't
stick
like
Michael
Jordan,
I
told
him
last
week
and
he
came
back
to
us
and
has
been
working
as
our
custodial
for
a
person
for
the
last
few
years
and
just
doing
an
incredible
job
facing
all
of
the
challenges
that
our
Parks
face
in
terms
of
cleanup.
So
Kim
is
Dave
online
in
the
participants
there
struggling
okay,
Dave's,
not
feeling
well
today,
so
unfortunately
couldn't
be
here
with
us,
but
I
mean
for
Denny
and
Dave.
H
A
combined
I
mean
that's
an
incredible
77
78
years
of
Devotion
to
the
parks,
department
and
operations
and
countless
hours
of
work
and
expertise.
I
just
want
to
say
we
really
appreciate
them.
Thanks.
A
Jenny
and
Dave,
even
though
you're
not
with
us
today,
yeah
remarkable
years
of
service
for
sure
all
right,
so
I
think
that
brings
us
to
our
other
business
today.
So
first
we'll
hear
from
Paula
McDevitt
with
a
review
and
approval
of
the
2023
non-reverting
budget.
Thank.
I
You
good
afternoon,
Paula
McDevitt,
director
of
the
department
and
I,
am
here
for
the
annual
task
in
December,
and
that
is
to
present
our
2023
non-reverting
program
budget
and
this
pending.
Your
review
and
approval
will
set
staff
up
ready
to
start
a
brand
new
year
of
programming
and
services
for
the
community,
so
the
non-reverting
program
budget.
The
recommendation
is
a
due
pass.
We
are
requesting
2
million
and
sixty
four
thousand
three
hundred
and
ninety
four
dollars.
This
just
is
a
little
reminder.
The
non-reverting
budget
is
an
established
Enterprise
fund.
I
We
use
the
zero
base,
budgeting
model
staff,
monitor
manage
fees
and
charges
a
lot
of
the
fees
and
charges
that
you
approved
in
the
price
schedule
run
through
our
non-reverting
budget.
This
allows
us
a
lot
of
flexibility
to
a
create
new
programs,
as
things
come
along
during
the
year,
but
we
can
also
ebb
and
flow
increase,
a
need
as
we
see
fit
and
make
those
amendments
in
that
budget,
and
it
also
greatly
reduces
the
Reliance
on
the
general
fund
tax
base.
I
So,
as
you
know,
I
presented
the
general
fund
2023
budget
earlier
this
year,
but
it's
really
nice
to
have
this
secondary
fund,
especially
with
being
able
to
accommodate
about
2
million
in
expenses.
And
again,
all
staff
are
part
of
the
budget
building
process
from
our
program.
Staff
who
are
front
line,
know
what
it
takes
to
run
these
programs
to
our
division,
directors
and
again,
finally,
presenting
this
to
you
I'll
just
briefly
go
through.
This
is
set
up
the
exact
same
way
as
our
general
fund
budget
with
four
categories.
I
So
in
category
one,
our
Personnel
request
has
an
increase
of
almost
sixty
thousand
dollars
and
that
is
attributed
directly
to
our
seasonal
wages.
As
you
know,
we
pay
living
wage
and
that
increased
again
this
year
and
so
I've
listed
here.
The
ranges
that
we
pay
our
staff,
so
seasonal
staff
earn
15.29
all
the
way
up
to
1723
and
then
our
specialist.
We
have
a
range
in
there
as
well,
but,
as
you
know,
we
run
a
lot
of
seasonal
staff
through
our
non-reverting
fund.
I
Category
2
supplies
went
up
thirty,
seven
thousand
four.
Seventy
eight
and
again,
just
like
our
general
fund
budget
request,
we
saw
an
intense
increase
in
the
cost
of
goods
and
supplies
this
year,
so
similar
supplies
concessions
runs
through
our
non-reverting
account
and
again
program
and
event
supplies.
That's
just
with
inflation.
It's
hit
both
our
general
fund
and
our
non-reverting
budgets.
I
Category
three.
We
have
an
increase
of
seventy
five
thousand
nine
hundred
and
fifty
again
mirroring
our
general
fund
budget
request,
our
utility
costs.
As
a
reminder:
the
Twin
Lakes
Recreation,
Center,
Revenue,
Bond
principle
and
interest
payment
comes
out
of
non-reverting.
We
have
a
few
temp
temporary
contractual
employees
and
then
again
just
the
increase
in
costs
for
repairs
and
maintenance.
I
I
Perfect,
thank
you
so,
while
I'm
presenting
expenses,
it's
very
important
for
you
to
see
that
we
do
have
projected
revenue
of
1.7
million.
With
our
projected
expenses
a
little
over
2
million,
we
do
present
a
budget
that
is
not
balanced,
and
that
is
an
annual
occurrence
because
of
our
Twin
Lakes
Recreation
Center,
Bond
principle
and
interest
payment.
I
I
also
am
sharing
our
current
non-reverting
balance.
So
you
get
that
report
every
month
in
your
board
packet.
So
you
see
the
expense
and
revenue
and
the
balance
that
we
carry.
So
because
of
the
success
of
all
of
our
combined
non-reverting
budgets.
We
are
able
to
still
make
the
Twin
Lakes
Recreation
Center
Bond
payment.
I
So
just
showing
you
again
a
reminder:
we
started
the
year.
Our
non-reverting
balance
was
956
174
and
in
your
report
today
we
have
increase
we've
seen
Revenue
uptick,
which
is
really
nice.
I
did
a
quick
look
back
and
during
covid
we
actually
lost
about
707
thousand
dollars
in
non-reverting
Revenue
difference,
so
we
are
seeing
a
rebound,
which
is
very,
very
encouraging
and
I
anticipate
with
our
successful
programs
and
with
our
community
continuing
to
participate,
we'll
see
that
Revenue
increase
next
year,
and
that
is
the
budget
presentation
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
C
I
C
I
We,
you
know
back
in
the
day
we
carried
about
a
1.8,
1.9
million
dollar
balance
and
we
dipped
almost
about
800
000
in
during
copit.
So
we're
we're
inching
back
up
there.
We're.
J
C
Without
the
revenue
bonds,
historically,
our
our
revenues
over
expenses,
it's
just
the
revenue
bonds
that
have
throw
us
cause
a
shortfall.
Yes,.
I
And
we
bonded
back
in
2009
for
about
6.2
million
refinanced
in
2017.
We
still
owe
about
3.1
million
so
and
that
Bond
will
be
paid
off
in
2029.,
so
we're
making
nice
progress.
But
again
it
takes
all
of
our
non-reverting
the
success
and
the
revenue
that
we
bring
in
to
to
make
up
that
that
payment,
yeah.
J
C
F
C
I
What
I
will
tell
you
is
Staff
work
on
their
general
fund
budgets
and
their
non-reverting
budgets
at
the
same
time,
it's
a
heavy
lift
for
them
and
they
all
can
nod
their
heads
in
that,
but
they
are
doing
that
at
the
same
time,
so
they're
absolutely
they're,
seeing
the
increases
and
and
working
on
the
budgets
and
taking
that
into
consideration
and
that
all
happens
in
the
summer
September.
And
then
we
bring
the
fees
and
charges
but
they're,
looking
at
fees
and
charges
way
back
when
they're
building
budgets.
So
it's
all
calculated
in.
C
A
K
A
L
Hey
everyone:
my
name
is
Holly
Warren
I'm,
the
assistant
director
for
the
Arts
for
the
city
of
Bloomington
I'm
here
today
to
request
an
approval
of
a
budget
amendment
to
our
contract
for
the
Rogers
family
park,
sculpture
fleeting
by
John
Rasik,
we're
requesting
a
budget
amendment
to
increase
the
budget
from
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
to
thirty
two
thousand
eight
hundred
and
forty
four
dollars
and
fifty
cents.
So
a
little
background,
so
we've
been
working
in
partnership
with
parks
and
the
Rogers
family,
who's
funding,
the
overall
overhauling
and
rewilding
of
the
Rogers
family
park.
L
Space
we've
also
been
working
with
the
Bloomington
Arts
commission
to
put
a
piece
of
public
sculpture
on
that
Park.
We
worked
again
with
the
family
and
the
BAC
to
select
Jonathan
racic
to
put
a
sculpture
on
the
park.
Everybody's
really
happy
with
it.
It's
very
beautiful,
but
from
the
time
that
we
approved
the
original
contract
back
to
October
to
now
concrete
prices
have
increased
significantly.
L
So
that's
where
you're
seeing
most
of
the
in
increase
of
this
budget,
the
other
additional
budget
that
we're
adding
in
now
is
to
put
some
LED
lights
at
the
base
of
the
sculpture
at
a
couple
of
places
to
illuminate
it.
So
folks
can
see
it
better
at
night.
So
that's
what
we're
asking
for
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
about
the
amendment.
C
B
F
M
Hi
Sean
marlar,
switchyard,
Park,
general
manager.
The
first
item
staff
would
like
to
recommend
for
approval
an
addendum
to
the
2022
agreement
to
extend
the
scope
of
this
agreement
through
2023.
At
the
same
rate.
This
item
is
for
green
dragon
lawn
care.
This
year,
Parks
entered
into
this
agreement
in
March
2022
to
most
specific
areas
at
switch
yard
park
with
a
not
to
exceed
amount
of
27
720..
The
total
area
they
mow
is
15.63
Acres.
They
do
about
26
to
30
Cycles
a
year
depending
on
it.
G
Yes,
yes,
just
I'm,
just
curious
when
you
say
that
Stephanie
satisfied
with
with
the
work
so
I
just
wondering
when
the
staff
is.
M
Are
things
built
into
the
contract
that
talks
about
certain
criteria
they
have
to
meet
so
that
we
can
hold
them
accountable
to
the
contract?
And
although
this
will
be
extended
for
2023
for
the
following
year,
it
will
be
open
for
bid
again,
so
there's
always
a
chance
if
they
do
a
bad
job
that
we
can
find
a
different
vendor
in
the
future.
A
C
M
Right.
The
second
item
is
a
similar
item.
It
is
for
preventative
maintenance
contract
with
Harrell
fish.
Incorporated
staff
recommends
approval
of
this
addendum
for
the
2022
agreement
to
extend
in
scope
and
price
through
the
2023
season.
Parks
entered
it
into
this
agreement
this
current
year
for
me
preventative
maintenance
at
switchyard
Park.
This
includes
backflow
inspections,
main
performance
stage,
Electrical
Plumbing,
Pavilion,
HVAC
electrical
and
plumbing
spray,
pad
pump
and
filter
systems
related
to
the
spray
pad
operations
and
the
purchase
of
spray
pad
filters.
M
A
M
Do
out
there
the
the
two
critical
times
of
the
spray
pad
are
the
startup
and
the
close
down,
and
that's
where
we
need
their
help,
the
most
other
than
that.
It's
just
a
few
preventative
maintenance
things,
but
those
specific
time
periods
are
when
we
really
need
a
lot
of
their
help
and
they've
been
great.
The
spray
pad
is
a
hugely
popular
amenity,
with
possibly
the
most
popular
amenity
at
the
park
during
the
summer,
so
having
their
help
to
make
sure
it
runs.
M
Well,
we
have
very
especially
this
year
we
had
very
minimal
shutdowns,
which
is
which
is
great.
C
B
A
M
N
Sports
current
agreement
that
we
have
this
agreement,
a
goal
of
code
at
the
Cascade
is
expiring
next
spring
and
back
in
September
we
went
through
the
whole
building
process
and
two
company
bits
and
Easy
Go
current
a
bit
was
high
and
Midwest
tough
and
golf
that
was
low
and
a
new
company.
We
would
like
to
recommend.
A
Yeah
so
I'm
just
curious:
can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit?
I
might
just
not
be
as
familiar
with
our
agreement
in
general.
So
do
we
is
this?
This
is
a
four
or
five
year
lease
agreement
with
the
option
to
purchase
the
golf
carts.
N
Is
that
that's
correct,
that's
a
little
bit
confusing,
but
that
is
a
good
events
we
have
at
the
end
of
the
agreement.
We
own
the
cut
okay.
A
C
And
I'm
just
curious
It's,
there's
such
a
difference
in
the
bids.
Why
is
there
such
it's
I
mean
one
bit
is
twice
as
much
as
the
other
and
obviously
the
if
they're
Apples
to
Apples,
which
they
must
be
we'd
want
to
go
with
a
smaller
one.
But
can
you
do
you
know
why
it's
so
different.
N
C
G
The
new
contract
would
be
in
four
years,
so
we
will
be
working
with
Midwest,
Golf
and
Turf
for
four
or
five
years,
and
then
the
bids
come
again
correct.
C
C
A
O
Everybody
staff
recommends
the
approval
service
agreement
with
Bluestone
tree
for
the
removal
of
Hazard
trees,
pruning
or
Hazard
reduction,
pruning
an
amount
not
to
exceed
eighteen
thousand
dollars.
O
A
little
bit
of
background
there
was
approximately
250
trees
removed
around
the
city
of
Bloomington
last
year,
or
this
year.
I
should
say
several
of
these
were
Hazard
trees,
along
property
lines
and
right-of-ways,
and
in
areas
beyond
what
the
scope
of
urban
forestry
staff
can
safely
and
expediently
mitigate
having
the
service
agreement,
allows
for
time,
sensitive
hazards,
trees
and
limbs
to
be
removed
before
causing
any
undue
harm
or
property
damage.
O
O
I
get
you
reports
and
respond
that
way.
I
do
spend
a
lot
of
time
in
the
field
keeping
my
eyes
peeled.
I
am
Isa
risk
assessment,
certified
or
qualified
I
should
say,
but
yeah
I
try
to
treat
everything
with
an
open
mind
walk
again,
but
some
things
stand
out
more
than
others
and
in
certain
areas,
blue
Stone's
got
the
crane
that
I
can't
get
to.
A
O
O
H
H
Evening,
sorry,
good
evening,
Commissioners
Tim
street
operations
and
Development
Division
director
for
Bloomington
Parks
first
item
I
have
up
for
review
here
is
a
review
of
an
approval
of
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
Duke
Energy
for
their
reliability
project
phase
two.
So
we
recommend
approval
of
this
mou,
which
is
for
this
upcoming
project
that
will
connect
transmission
lines
between
the
substation
on
Roger
Street,
just
west
of
switchyard
Park
up
to
the
substation
that
is
just
North
of
Rogers
and
Fairview
streets,
Northwest
of
where
we
are
here
in
City
Hall.
H
So
I
haven't
been
with
the
city
that
long
but
I
understand.
This
has
been
a
project
that
has
long
been
in
negotiation
to
improve
reliability
of
electric
service
in
Bloomington
decreased
outages.
It
will
involve
the
installation
of
a
transmission
line
between
those
two
substations
as
a
result
and
the
reason
Parks
is
particularly
involved
with
this.
H
It
will
result
in
We,
Believe,
126,
city-owned
trees
being
removed
as
part
of
the
construction
of
this
new
line,
as
such,
Duke
has
agreed
to
compensate
the
city,
forty
nine
thousand
dollars
for
the
loss
of
these
trees,
which
will
be
used
for
Street
trees.
Going
back
with
a
priority
going
back
in
those
locations
where
the
work
has
to
be
done.
H
This
mou
is
actually
jointly
approved
also
by
the
Board
of
Public
Works,
because
it
deals
with
right-of-way
issues
and
access,
and
we
do
anticipate
that
some
work
will
be
along
the
beeline
Trail
and
may
result
in
some
disruptions
to
service
on
the
B
line
later
next
year,
which
we
would
anticipate
bringing
that
policy.
We
reviewed
last
month
back
to
the
board
soon
and
reviewing
that.
So
we
have
a
clearer
picture
of
that.
Moving
forward.
A
Yeah
I
think
it's
pretty
straightforward,
I
the
49
000
is
that
did
we
provide
them
with
an
estimate
of
the
cost
of
replacement
on
those
trees?
We.
H
Did-
and
that
was
actually
with
Aaron
hatch
when
she
was
still
with
the
city
she
worked
with
to
identify
which
trees
were
coming
out
identified,
which
ones
were
high
value
and
which
ones
were
maybe
undesirable
in
the
first
place
and
assigned
values
to
those
based
on
their
diameter
of
breast
height.
Okay,.
A
H
It
would
fall
under
the
urban
forestry
Department,
certainly,
and
whether
or
not
we
would
approach
that
with
an
in-house
perspective
or
a
contract
perspective
is
yet
to
be
determined.
J
H
Yes,
so
staff
recommends
approval
of
a
contract
with
Marshall
security,
to
provide
security
services
in
parks
and
on
trails
in
2023.,
the
contract
total
is
297
840
and
the
funding
source
is
actually
split
between
our
operations
account
and
our
switch
yard
account.
So
2022
was
the
first
full
year
that
Parks
relied
on
Marshall
security
to
provide
security
services,
both
in
switchyard
park
and
in
core
downtown
parks
and
along
the
B-Line.
H
We've
been
able
to
work
with
them
throughout
the
course
of
the
year
on
improving
that
service
and
refining
it,
and
we
believe
we've
made
some
good
good
changes
for
next
year
as
well,
to
just
make
our
service
a
little
more
efficient,
while
still
maintaining
a
high
level
of
Safety
and
Security
for
Park
and
trail
users.
H
This
will
include
security
patrols
for
every
day
of
the
year
next
year,
except
for
a
few
specific
holidays,
and
it
does
give
us
flexibility
that,
as
needs
arise
or
change
or
different
things
pop
up
in
different
locations.
We
do
have
a
little
bit
of
flexibility
in
to
to
work
with
the
Marshall
staff,
the
admin
staff
to
flex
and
change
some
of
those
hours
and
locations
throughout
the
year.
A
I'm
just
curious
on
those
holidays:
do
we
rely
on
City
police
just
to
help
monitor
parks
and
I
mean
those
days.
H
H
What
what
changes
did
we
make
in
2023
versus
last
year?
We
took
a
little
more
holistic
approach
to
our
security
patrols
between
switch
yard
and
the
rest
of
parks
in
the
B-Line
in
2022.
We
we
basically
operated
those
almost
as
completely
separate
patrols,
and
then
next
year
and
talking
with
with
Sean
and
the
rec
staff,
we've
decided
to
combine
a
little
bit
of
that
to
make
it
a
little
more
efficient.
A
C
A
H
H
K
K
Oh
there
we
go
all
right,
so
we
have
a
two
two
primary
sites:
the
North
Gateway,
which
is
at
the
North
End
of
Miller
showers,
Park,
there's
a
triangular
triangular
area
there,
just
north
of
the
park,
that's
the
site
for
the
North
Gateway
and
then
the
Arlington
ped
Bridge,
which
is
on
the
bypass
near
Arlington,
Elementary,
School
anyways.
Then
we're
gonna
talk
about
some
of
the
plant
selections.
K
So
this
is
the
North
Gateway.
You
can
go
ahead
and
flip
to
the
next
slide.
Paula
all
right,
they're
outlined
in
white,
go
ahead
and
flip
to
the
next
one.
We'll
go
to
get
through
these
pretty
quick,
just
a
few
labels
here
to
talk
about
where
we
are
so
we're
between
College
Avenue
and
Walnut,
we're
looking
south
from
basically
the
bypass
towards
Miller
showers,
Park
and
our
areas
that
they're
that
triangular
piece
just
north
of
the
park
here
is
the
existing
site.
You
see
it's
pretty
empty
at
the
moment
is
basically
just
a
lawn.
K
There
are
a
few
trees
at
the
North
End
of
the
triangle.
These
are
pear
trees,
they're,
an
invasive
species,
so
part
of
the
project
will
be
removing
those
go
ahead
and
advance
to
the
next
one.
Paula
we'll
talk
about
the
proposed
plan,
so,
like
I,
said
before,
we'll
be
removing
the
trees
from
the
northern
part
of
the
triangle,
adding
New
Street
trees
along
two
sidewalks
that
we're
extending
from
Miller
showers
Park
up
to
a
landscaped
area
where
we're
placing
the
main
gateway
element
which
we'll
see
here
in
the
next
slides.
K
But
another
key
thing
here
to
note
about
this
plan
is
that
we
would
be
rebuilding
the
traffic
Island
kind
of
to
the
right
side
of
the
plan,
the
south
side
of
the
plan,
basically
to
accommodate
that
that
new
sidewalk
and
to
take
care
of
some
broken,
curb
and
other
things
that
are
defective
with
the
existing
traffic
Island
go
ahead
and
Advance
Paula.
So
here
we
have
the
perspective
looking
at
the
main
gateway
element,
which
is
this
large
corten
steel
monolith
go
ahead
and
flip
to
the
next
slide.
K
Paula
will
highlight
some
of
the
elements
materials
here.
The
main
material
is
quartensteel,
which
is
kind
of
this
rusted
steel
material.
It's
intended
to
sort
of
weather
and
get
this
sort
of
this
patina,
which
is
really
Charming
in
certain
contexts.
K
It's
also
meant
to
build
on
this
concept
that
we
developed
during
the
master
plan,
which
was
this
idea
of
these
landscapes
in
Bloomington,
being
symbols
of
the
city's
resiliency,
the
city
moving
from
sort
of
an
industrial
manufacturing
sort
of
town
into
something
new,
which
is
focused
on
sustainability
in
the
future.
So
at
the
base
of
the
the
monolith,
if
you
flick
to
the
next
slide
Paula,
we
have
these
Limestone
pieces
sort
of
rough
cut.
K
Limestone
blocks
meant
to
replicate
Limestone
spoils
these
piles
of
limestone
you'll
find
in
different
Landscapes
around
Bloomington,
where
we
have
the
natural
landscape
starting
to
grow
up
within
the
gaps
between
those
stones.
It's
kind
of
a
a
relic
of
the
past
sort
of
situated
here
and
composed,
so
to
kind
of
just
build
on
that
unique
character
and
the
unique
history
of
this
particular
place.
K
So
if
you
go
back
Paula
we'll
talk
about
the
monolith
a
little
bit
more
detail,
so
the
core
10
steel
monolith
hosts,
obviously
the
the
the
name
of
the
town
Bloomington.
It's
set
in
front
of
a
perforated
quartet
steel
panel,
it's
perforated,
so
that
the
monolith
can
be
lit
internally
and
then
shine
at
night
will
show
an
image
of
that
in
a
little
bit.
But
there's
a
lot
of
interesting
things.
We
can
do
with
this
material
with
the
perforations.
The
letters
themselves
would
be
a
polished
aluminum
which
would
stand
out
on
this.
K
This
cortense
seal
backdrop.
So
if
you
go
ahead
and
Advance
a
couple
slides
here,
Paula
we'll
look
at
a
night
scene
of
the
The
Landmark.
So
you
can
see
here
with
the
lighting
within
the
the
the
monolith.
It
really
strikes
a
stunning
stunning
image
as
you
approach
town
from
the
north
side.
K
The
second
site
is
the
Arlington
ped
Bridge.
Here
we're
hovering
above
the
bypass
looking
East
on
the
north
side
of
town.
That's
the
bridge
down
Center
on
the
left
is
Arlington
Elementary
School
and
on
the
right,
existing
neighborhoods
go
ahead
and
flip
to
the
next
slide.
Paula
here
we
can
see
the
site
and
plan
nothing
too
much
here.
It's
really
just
the
PED
Bridge
connecting
the
neighborhood
and
the
school
with
the
bypass
running
underneath
go
ahead
and
flip
to
the
next
slide.
Paula
and
the
plan
is,
is
fairly
simple.
K
We're
proposing
some
Landscaping
at
either
end
of
the
the
bridge
to
kind
of
bookend
the
sign
we
would
like
to
add
to
the
existing
chain
link
structure
across
the
bypass,
we're
somewhat
limited
in
our
Landscaping
options
based
on
indot
and
the
requirements
to
keep
a
clear
Zone
on
either
side
of
the
interstate.
So
this
plan
and
the
actual
sizing
and
placement
of
trees
will
depend
on
their
input,
but
this
is
this
is
getting
pretty
close
to
what
the
final
design
might
look
like.
K
A
few
other
landscape
elements,
we're
proposing
some
Limestone
Boulders
at
the
foot
of
the
bridge
where
the
intermediate
structure
legs
come
down
and
touch
the
hillside.
Also,
some
Stone
below
the
actual
Bridge
there
on
the
slope
where
we
won't
be
able
to
grow
plants,
go
ahead
and
flip
to
the
next
slide
Paula.
K
So
the
sign
itself
would
be
affixed
to
the
existing
chain.
Link
structure,
these
letters
would
have
some
depth
to
them.
That
would
basically
be
a
box
on
the
inside
of
the
structure
which
would
house
your
lighting
and
other
electrical
elements
with
the
core
10
steel
plate
on
the
outside
of
the
chain
link,
and
all
this
would
sort
of
be
sandwiched
together
to
secure
itself
to
the
chain
link
fence.
K
The
sign
there
are
the
picture
on
the
lower
left
is
an
example
of
a
very
similar
sort
of
sign
in
northern
Indiana.
Go
ahead
and
flip
to
the
next
slide
Paula.
So
this
is
what
it
would
look
like
at
night.
So
we'd
have
these
quartet
steel
plates
outlined
by
thin
ribbons
of
light
around
the
letters
to
make
them
visible
at
night,
not
too
glaring,
but
a
really
nice
effect.
K
K
K
Okay,
well,
I
mean
for
the
planting
design.
It's
the
main
point
is
the
planting.
Design
will
be
100
native
plants
native
to
this
part
of
Indiana,
a
variety
of
tree,
shade,
trees,
ornamentals
and
a
few
coniferous
species,
and
then
a
variety
of
grasses,
shrubs
and
perennials.
So
all
things
that
the
local
funnel
will
enjoy.
K
C
Got
a
couple
questions
that
court
and
Steele
I
think
you
call
it
and
so
how
the
patina
on
that?
How
does
it
age
does
it
when
you
put
it
up,
is
it
a
look
like
steel
and
then
over
the
next
year?
It
turns
that
kind
of
reddish
color.
K
No,
it
generally
starts
out
at
the
out
of
the
box.
If
you
will
kind
of
that
that
that
that
that
okay
finish,
so
it
doesn't
change
too
much
over
time.
Okay,
so
it's
not
like
I
guess,
sometimes.
C
J
C
I
guess
have
we
analyzed
that
and
I
don't
want
to
put
something
up
there
that.
K
We
end
up
well,
this
will
be
part
of
the
whole
process,
so
we're
at
schematic
design
right
now.
This
next
phase
design,
development
and
construction
documents
will
begin
to
engage
in
structural
engineer,
we've
been
working
with
and
not
to
get
the
actual
sort
of
as
built
drawings
for
the
bridge
which
we
have
now,
which
we
can
then
use
to
get
that
structural
analysis
done,
so
that
we
don't
put
anything
up.
That's
going
to
fall
down
also
in
order
for
indot
to
permit
this
work.
C
Okay,
so
but
the
and
that
all
part
of
that
will
be
how
what
how
good
a
condition
is
the
bridge
in.
Are
we
as
part
of
this
project,
replacing
the
fencing
or
is
it
just
not
at
the.
K
Moment
but
as
we
move
forward,
you
might
find
that
we
might
have
to
make
decisions.
Okay,
so
all.
A
K
They
own
the
bridge
and
the
road
and
yes
and.
A
C
K
C
I
K
K
The
difference
in
the
lighting
yeah,
it
would
be
a
lot
of
similarities.
I
mean
both
are
sort
of
internally
lit.
This
would
be
shining
through,
probably
some
sort
of
acrylic
panel
that
would
keep
everything
enclosed,
whereas
the
other
one
will
be
shining
through
perforated,
quartet
and
steel,
but
yeah
the
lighting.
K
This
real
difference
as
a
scale
I
think
both
if
the
city
would
like
you
know,
could
be
these
color
changing
LEDs,
which
wouldn't
change
from
a
moment
to
moment.
But
you
could
program
it
for
like.
If
it's
you
know,
Valentine's
Day,
you
could
have
it
be
red
or
you
know
something
like
that.
Thematic
like
that.
G
And
who
would
be
in
charge
of
putting
those
colors
on
deciding
that
that
would
be
represented
before
local
or
national
event?.
A
K
I,
imagine
that
would
be
either
Parks
or
other
City
officials.
I
They
do
that
from
time
to
time
on
the
BT
building
and
that
for
special
events
and
that
we've
done
it
at
switchyard
park
outside
the
Pavilion.
So
it's
really
depending
upon
what
it
is
that
that
we're
celebrating
or
what
or
want
to
highlight,
who
would
make
that.
But
the
controls
for
doing
that
would
be
with.
K
K
What
we're
looking
at
on
the
other
yeah
Lyndon,
some
shrubs
or
our
grasses
and
shrubs,
and
go
ahead
and
flip
to
the
next
one
and
we've
got
more
color
on
the
next
one
and
a
variety
different
perennials.
That
really
will
add
a
lot
of
color
and
interest
to
these
Landscapes
throughout
the
year.
So.
A
A
H
So
I'll
just
just
add
for
the
public
aspect.
We
will
be
in
the
atrium
at
6,
PM
to
7
pm
and
then
it'll
be
available
online
afterwards
and
in
addition
to
feedback
tonight,
we're
also
working
with
other
City
departments,
planning
and
transportation
engineering
making
sure
we
look
at
all
the
other
aspects
as
well
as
the
Bloomington
Arts
Council.
So
thank.
H
So
public
comments
going
to
go
through
early
January,
at
which
point
we're
going
to
return
the
feedback
to
Rea,
compile
and
return
the
feedback
and
then,
as
Kevin
mentioned,
we'll
be
moving
into
that
next
phase
of
design.
Where
we
start
to
work
on
construction
documents.
The
early
part
of
2023
to
work
towards,
hopefully,
a
bid.
A
I
I
I
Only
announcement
I
have
is
we'll
be
starting
again.
January
24th
is
the
first
meeting
of
the
new
year
and
if
Kim
hasn't
already
sent
you
the
meeting
calendar
she
will
and
just
on
behalf
of
the
staff
we'd
like
to
thank
all
the
board
of
Park
Commissioners
for
your
loyal
support,
the
good
conversation,
the
great
questions
and
everything
that
you
do
to
support
the
work
that
we
do
and
thank
you
very
much.
Yeah.
