Description
Presented by Director Adam Wason.
A
Yes,
good
evening,
members
of
council-
it's
always
an
honor
and
a
privilege
to
be
here
to
present
the
budget
requests
on
behalf
of
the
department
of
public
works
for
2021.
This
will
be
the
start
of
a
slideshow
for
presentation,
one
of
seven
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
get
started.
The
public
works.
Administrative
division
is
the
central
office
for
all
things.
Public
works.
A
We
are.
Our
staff
is
committed
to
supporting
all
the
divisions
of
public
works
and
delivering
the
essential
services
we're
tasked
with
delivering
on
a
daily
basis.
The
mantra
with
public
works
staff
is
simply
is
simple.
Yet
direct,
we're
going
to
be
good
stewards
of
the
taxpayer
dollar
we're
going
to
operate
in
an
environment
of
respect
and
we're
going
to
do
our
best
to
provide
the
highest
levels
of
customer
service
to
bloomington's
residents
and
visitors,
we're
a
small
but
mighty
group.
A
So
far
in
2020
we
have
initiated
the
second
phase
of
the
sidewalk
repair
assistance
program
to
lower
in
moderate
income
neighborhoods
within
the
federally
designated
community
development
block
grant
areas.
One
of
the
projects
that's
been
a
great
success.
So
far
this
year
has
been
the
kirkwood
enhancements
that
began
this
past
spring
general.
A
Moving
towards
more
efficient,
led
lighting
for
both
city
and
duke
on
street
lights
has
long
been
a
goal
for
our
team,
we're
beginning
to
make
headway
on
that
plan
to
convert
the
over
2000
street
lights.
City-Wide
to
with
these
upgrades,
we're
currently
finalizing
a
lifetime
cost
analysis
and
are
actively
researching
all
potential
funding
options.
A
As
the
chief
administrative
body
of
the
city
of
bloomington,
the
board
of
public
works
meets
bi-weekly
and
is
tasked
with
approving
all
uses
of
the
public
rights
of
way.
Special
events,
as
well
as
city
expenditures
outside
of
parks,
police
and
fire
and
utilities,
staffing
and
coordinating
their
work,
is
an
everyday
task.
A
Both
projects
were
off
to
really
successful
starts
in
the
early
months
of
the
year.
Only
to
face
implementation
setbacks
due
to
travel
restrictions
placed
on
employees
of
the
two
companies,
we've
certainly
made
progress
and
we've
readjusted
some
timelines.
So
I'm
very
much
confident
that
these
projects
will
be
a
successful
part
of
our
overall
modernization
efforts.
A
A
With
all
the
impacts
of
covet
19,
this
slide
represents
the
single
most
significant
budgetary
impact
to
the
department
of
public
works,
while
parking
revenues
are
obviously
down
locally.
The
statewide
decline
in
gas
taxes
that
fund
the
motor
vehicle
highway
fund
that
are
then
distributed
to
local
municipalities
like
ours,
has
been
hit
very
hard.
The
inter
departmental
transfer,
highlighted
here
of
one
million
dollars,
is
to
offset
those
motor
vehicle
highway
reductions
with
general
fund
dollars,
so
the
street
department
can
hopefully
continue
to
meet
goals
in
2021.
A
when
we
get
to
the
street
department
budget
request,
you
know
in
a
while
here
I'll
be
sure
to
provide
some
more
detail
on
those
revenue
impacts
outside
of
the
interdepartmental
transfer
that
was
just
highlighted.
Our
overall
budget
request
for
the
division
is
in
is
pretty
well
in
line
with
our
2020
request.
A
The
the
administration
depart,
divisions,
general
fund
budget
request
is
2.916
million
dollars,
with
an
increase
of
just
under
a
million
dollars
due
to
that
inner
fund
transfer.
Our
2021
budget
request
doesn't
also
include
a
recover
forward
request,
similar
to
what
was
recently
approved
and
appropriated
by
the
council.
A
C
A
I'm
gonna
I'll
ask
that
controller,
underwood
jump
in
and
help
wherever
I
fail
here,
but
you
know
what
we're
seeing
is
certainly
reductions
in
the
current
year:
motor
vehicle
highway
funding
allocations
to
the
city
of
bloomington-
that's
been
those
are
allocated,
I
believe,
every
two
months,
and
so
I
saw
some
initial
reductions
of
almost
40
percent
for
specific
months.
So
the
request
for
2021
is
the
anticipated
anticipated
shortfall
that
we
would
expect
to
see
if
the
trends
continue
and
basically
yeah
so.
D
Absolutely
yeah
the
state
sends
us
on
a
lot
of
the
miscellaneous
revenues
projections
to
utilize
and
obviously,
as
I
noted
on
the
first
night,
gasoline
tax
for
the
street
department
are
down
significantly
and
so.
We've
used
the
state's
estimate
on
that,
as,
as
adam
pointed
out
and
you'll
see
in
the
street
department,
there's
actually
about
a
two
million
dollar
reduction
in
the
overall
budget
because
they
had
to
cut
out
from
their
budget
request.
D
C
C
E
My
question
has
to
do
with
some
of
the
funds
for
recover
forward
of
the
four
hundred
thousand
actually
450
000,
but
I
know
there's
many
aggressive
projects
and
some
of
the
things
we
think
we
can
accomplish
and
I'll
talk
to
you
later
about
how
we
prioritize
or
plan
to
prioritize
some
of
those
projects.
But
my
more
specific
question
has
to
do
with
sidewalks
that
are
damaged
by
street
trees.
A
E
A
So
I
can
jump
in
here
so
when
it
comes
to
sidewalks
damaged
by
street
trees
that
are
under
the
ownership
of
the
city
of
bloomington
and
the
maintenance
responsibility
of
the
city
of
bloomington.
It's
the
toughest
gray
area
we
deal
with
when
it
comes
to
sidewalk
maintenance
throughout
the
city.
The
approach
we've
taken
in
public
works
over
the
last
several
years.
Is
we
try
to
the
dollars
that
we
make
100
investments
into
sidewalk
repairs?
A
We
are
excited
to
say
that
we're
planning
to
spend
at
least
fifty
to
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
specifically
on
sidewalk
repairs
due
to
street
tree
damage,
we're
still
working
out
some
of
the
full
prioritization
and
locations.
Things
like
that
that
we'll
come
back
and
present
to
the
council,
but
absolutely
so
we
plan
to
make
those
investments
and
we
currently
make
those
investments
with
the
dollars
that
we
do
allocate
towards
sidewalk
improvements
funded
wholly
by
the
city.
B
A
F
Yes,
thank
you.
I
moved
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
mr
wayson
lots
of
exciting
things
we
heard
updates
on.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify,
as
I
had
in
with
another
budget
or
two,
that
this
the
recover
forward
expenditures,
that's
separate
from
what
we
approved
already.
This
is
2021
anticipated,
which
will
come
in
a
separate
appropriation
at
another
time,
but
it's
kind
of
a
similar
block
of
money,
as
as
we
saw
in
the
2020
package
we
just
passed,
is
that
right
absolutely.
A
So
of
the
450
being
requested
for
2021
400
000
again
would
be
allocated
directly
towards
mobility,
enhancements
for
the
bike
and
pedestrian
network
for
the
2021
request.
Instead
of
250
000
for
the
bloomington
transit
stops,
we're
requesting
50
000
go
towards
that
in
coordination
with
mr
copper
and
others.
We
think
that
the
250
allocated
this
year
will
cover
a
lot
of
the
improvements
identified
in
their
study
already,
and
that
50
will
be
a
great
supplement
for
next
year.
F
A
For
the
sidewalk
improvements
and
such
yeah
absolutely
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
right
now
with
the
20
20
dollars
that
have
been
appropriated,
has
come
up
with
the
highest
priority
areas
based
on
our
condition,
index
data
and
then
plan
to
bring
it
forward
to
the
transportation
committee
and
others
to
say:
hey
here's!
What
we're
thinking
can
you
provide
some
feedback?
A
I
can
tell
you
some
of
the
areas
we're
looking
at
very
closely
right
now
for
full
block
replacements
of
sidewalks
or
around
the
bannaker
community
center,
in
that
neighborhood
we're
looking
at
one
up
on
west
14th
street,
just
west
of
I
think
it's
kinser
pike
there
rogers
turns
into
kinser
but
west
of
of
that
area
on
west
14th.
There's
an
old
wpa
sidewalk
we'd
like
to
do
something
some
repairs
to
there
and
then,
like
I
said,
we're
looking
at
some
smaller
projects
to
do
street
tree
damage.
A
We're
actually
going
to
look
to
do
fifty
thousand
dollars,
probably
towards
a
joe
just
told
me,
it's
13th
street,
not
14th,
but
that
we're
also
looking
to
do
a
project
specific
to
sidewalk
grinding.
So
this
is
where
you
get
heavy
duty.
Grinders
out
there
and
take
care
of
sidewalk
heaves
that
aren't
too
significant.
Yet
so
we're
going
to
take
a
variety
approaches
and
hopefully
make
some
great
improvements.
C
Thank
you,
mr
wayson.
I
want
to
ask
a
question
about
a
constituent
contacted
me
a
few
days
ago,
and
it
was
about
digging
for
a
t
for
fiber
optic.
I
guess,
and
it
was
they
essentially
they
they
were
digging
they.
They
were
requested
to
dig
or
they
were
intending
to
dig
outside
of
the
easement,
and
they
insisted
that
they
needed
to
do
so,
and
is
this
a
very
common
thing
that
you've
encountered?
You
may
know
about
the
case.
I
don't
know.
A
Is
is
this
specific
to
the
damage
to
the
yard
and
trying
to
get
it
repaired
by
the
company
yeah?
So
you
know
what
I
can
tell
you
a
council
member
is
that
when
it
comes
to
the
private
utilities
working
within
utility
easements,
you
know
the
city
has
very
little
oversight
of
that
and
we
actually
don't
even
have
permitting
abilities
for
that
type
of
work.
A
What
and
this
is
the
unfortunate
answer,
often
in
these
con
situations
with
private
utilities
that
then
damage
private
property
is
it
becomes
a
civil
matter
between
the
two
private
entities?
The
city
simply
doesn't
have
jurisdiction
in
a
lot
of
in
those
cases
of
the
private
property
and
the
private
entities.
A
But
what
we
do
is
when
we
find
out
about
things
we
make
those
sorts
of
things.
We
make
direct
contacts
to
the
highest
levels
of
the
utilities
that
we
can
to
say.
Hey
we've
got
a
constituent
dealing
with
this
issue
and
it
was
the
results
of
work
by
your.
You
know
your
utility.
Can
you
please
work
with
them?
I'll
tell
you.
We
have
pretty
good
success
with
that,
and
I
know
that
I
believe
that's
the
exact.
A
You
know
it's
not
been
as
common
recently.
I
can
tell
you
a
few
years
back
when
there
was
a
lot
more
fiber
installation
going
on,
especially
in
like
the
southeast
corridor
and
things
we
were
getting
a
lot
of
calls
and
trying
to
you
know,
coordinate
those
types
of
repairs,
but
this
honestly
this
was
probably
the
first
one
of
the
year
for
that
came
to
my
attention
at
least.
B
I
Thanks
hi,
I'm
greg
alexander
again,
I
just
want
to
bring
to
your
attention
that
you
know
public
works
does
just
like
mr
wayson
said
they
do
sidewalk
maintenance
under
certain
circumstances,
and
I
live
on
north
madison
street
and
the
sidewalk
just
north
of
me
on
the
what
the
what
east
side,
yeah
west
side
of
the
street
has
a
severe
problem.
That's
been
noted
in
you
reports
for
a
number
of
years.
There's
no,
no
need
for
a
pavement
condition
index.
I
It's
been
reported
by
by
citizens
just
again
and
again
and
again,
not
just
me
by
the
way,
and
not
just
my
wife
and
it
it
took
several
years
for
anything
to
be
done,
and
then
last
year
they
started.
Sending
I'm
just
gonna
say
mean
letters
to
the
people
that
live
on
the
street
and
really
that
should
be
just
public
works
responsibility
to
maintain
the
sidewalk
period.
But
so
there
were
two
lots
where
the
sidewalk
was
just
it.
It's
ridiculous!
I
There's
you
know
it's
it's
crumbled
through
all
the
way
to
the
mud
underneath,
and
so
one
of
those
two
was
replaced
this
year.
They
I
assumed
they
used
the
the
neighborhood
where
they
got
a
50
match
from
public
works
and
the
other
one
was
not
because
I
think,
because
it's
a
rental
they're
not
eligible
for
that.
I
They
do
the
whole
segment,
but
then
the
sidewalk.
They
just
do
one
property
line
at
a
time.
One
tiny
little
segment
at
a
time
and
the
result
is
that
it
we're
having
a
lot
more
sidewalk
closure
than
we
have
to,
and
yet
we're
not
actually
getting
a
high
quality.
Sidewalk
and
really
this
is
something
public
works
could
do
if
you
funded
it
thanks.
B
B
C
You
I
just
wanted
to.
Can
you
hear
me?
I
wanted
to
give
credit
to
mr
wayson
for
his
work
on
covet
when,
when
we
were
when
the
city
was
processing,
what
to
do
you
know?
Obviously,
public
works
was
tremendously
affected
by
by
the
outbreak,
and
mr
wayson
worked
very
diligently
at
protecting
his
employees
and
also
making
sure
that
the
facilities
at
city
hall
were
were
sterile,
clean
and
and
uncontaminated
for
the
public,
and
I
just
want
to
give
him
credit
for
working
very
diligently
on
that.
F
Yes,
thank
you
again,
mr
wayson,
for
the
presentation
I'm
excited
to
hear
more
from
your
department.
I
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
shout
out
for
a
lot
of
the
great
things
you're
doing
that
I'm
excited
about,
including
the
looking
at
led
lights
for
all
the
street
lights
and
I'd,
be
excited
to
follow
up
more
about
email
and
hear
what
that
study
is
going
like
and
and
just
from
a
funding
staff
standpoint.
What
what
kind
of
funding
streams
we're
talking
about
and
what
opportunities
are
there?
F
I
also
like
the
the
pavement
conditions
index
and
the
work
that
your
team
has
undertaken
to
kind
of
systematize
our
approach
to
these
things.
I
think
it's
really
important
to
have
a
systematic
way
to
deal
with
with
these
things
and
the
alley
activation
work,
as
well
as
the
kirkwood
projects
of
this
last
year
have
been
really
great
and
super
timely
as
well.
Obviously,
all
the
businesses
on
the
street
are
benefiting
immensely
from
the
ease
with
which
we
can
open
up
the
street
for
for
other
uses.
F
Also,
I
just
wanted
to
to
clarify
my
comments
earlier
in
talking
about
what
I
see
is
like.
Sometimes
a
fundamental
tension
between
customer
service
and
a
goal-oriented
planning
approach
is,
of
course,
not
a
binary
and
not
meant
to
be
a
criticism.
There's
a
lot
of
advantages
to
customer
service
and
making
sure
that
our
residents
are
are
happy
and
you
know
well
attended
to
so
like
I
I'm
afraid
it
may
have
come
off
as
more
critical
than
I
meant.
F
So
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
that
I
know
your
team
thinks
about
the
long
range
as
well.
Just
like
planning
and
transportation
thinks
about
customer
service,
so
just
wanted
to
say
that
and
I'm
happy
to
well.
I
guess
we're
gonna
hear
all
the
divisions
before
we
vote
on
anything.
So
thank
you
again
or
maybe
not.
Maybe
we
vote
now.

The
just
over
18
full-time
equivalents
include
our
animal
control
officers,
shelter,
shelter,
staff
and
ball
and
our
volunteer
coordination
team.
Although
the
mission
doesn't
change
year
to
year,
the
shelter
leadership,
team
and
staff
are
always
striving
to
be
a
model
example
in
the
animal
welfare
field,
while
all
divisions
of
public
works
have
faced
challenges
related
to
covet
19.
The
animal
shelter
may
have
some
of
the
most
dramatic
impacts
to
their
actual
operations
compared
to
some
of
our
other
divisions.
A
Closing
closing
the
shelter
to
daily
visitors
was
hard
was
a
hard
but
necessary
decision
to
make
so
and
all
visits
to
the
shelter
had
to
be
done
by
appointment.
This
hasn't
impacted
our
overall
success
indicators
for
the
shelter,
but
it
certainly
has
required
major
modifications
to
how
we
staff
the
facility
and
operate
to
meet
our
goals
having
the
lowest
possible
euthanasia
rates
are
always
a
top
priority.
The
current
mid-year
euthanasia
rate
is
at
three
percent,
which
is
really
phenomenal.
Last
year's
mid-year
percentage
rate
was
six
percent.
A
A
Our
current
mid-year
average
length
of
stay
for
animals
in
our
care
is
at
22
days
just
slightly
above
our
set
goal.
I
will
say
that
the
length
of
say
has
definitely
been
impacted
a
bit
by
kobit,
so
another
huge
part
of
covet
impacts
is
that
we
had
to
severely
limit
our
volunteer
activity.
We
do
have
a
few
volunteers
that
have
returned
since
the
beginning
of
july,
but
this
goal
for
2020
is
just
simply
not
possible,
based
on
the
limited
access
to
the
facility.
A
As
with
all
I'll
probably
say
this
about
seven
times
tonight,
but
covet
has
impacted
all
of
our
schedule.
Our
scheduled
training
and
certification
conferences
that
were
planned
staff
has
been
able
to
take
part
in
online
educational
opportunities
through
the
united
states,
humane
association
and
as
well
as
other
organizations
and
spent
a
lot
of
time.
Just
a
few
weeks
back
as
a
team
doing
trainings
together.
A
A
Overall,
one
major
theme
has
been
prevalent
over
the
last
several
years,
surrenders
to
the
shelter
have
seen
an
increasing
number
of
animals
with
behavioral
and
health
issues.
This
increases
the
amount
of
care
and
rehabilitation
required,
but
staff
takes
these
challenges
on
with
dedication
and
compassion.
A
For
2021
budget
goals,
you
know
I'll
just
state
that
we're
going
to
try
to
keep
this
goal
as
a
of
11
500
volunteer
hours,
but
without
a
crystal
ball
I'd
be
lying.
If
I
said,
I
think
it's
attainable
at
this
point
again,
we're
hopeful
that
2020
has
brighter
horizons
for
public
engagement
and
outreach
so
that
we
can
get
back
out
into
the
community
doing
what
we
do
best.
A
A
And
just
to
personalize
this,
a
bit
animal
control
officers
provide
an
essential
service
to
the
community
when
it
comes
to
animal
welfare.
Investigations
responding
to
service
calls
removing
bats
from
homes,
kitty
cats,
from
gutters
raccoons
from
dumpsters
dogs
from
storm
pipes
and
the
thousands
of
deer
calls
per
year
that
we
receive
nadine,
jim
and
nick
are
dedicated
professionals
that
help
folks
at
all
hours
of
the
day,
27
24,
7
365..
A
Just
some
budget
highlights
this.
The
decrease
you
see
here
in
this
category
4
is
simply
due
to
some
major
renovations
to
the
adoption
center
that
were
made
this
year,
and
so
we
won't
be
needing
those
funds
in
2021
and
I'd
just
be
remiss
to
say
we're
just
tremendously
grateful
for
the
council
support
in
the
physical
investments
that
to
have
a
top-notch
facility
for
the
animals
in
our
care
and
and
for
the
staff
that
inhibits
inhabits
the
building
every
day
of
the
year.
A
Just
some
highlights
from
our
restricted
donations
funding
we're
staying
consistent
with
previous
year's
requests,
where
we
focus
expenditures
on
medical
procedure
on
expensive
medical
procedures,
staff
training
and
behavioral
training
for
some
of
our
most
difficult
animals
when
reducing
the
previous
capital
expenditures.
Our
overall
2020
request
is
a
9
reduction
from
2020,
and
that
is
a
total
request
of
1.74
million
dollars,
which
is
a
decrease
of
163
000
again
just
about
9.
A
As
I
rehearsed
all
these
presentations
over
the
last
few
days,
it
was
pointed
out
that
I
used
the
word
proud
a
lot
when
talking
about
the
work
we
do
in
public
works,
I'm
not
going
to
be
ashamed
of
that
redundancy,
because
I'm
truly
proud
of
the
efforts
of
all
the
staff
and
volunteers
that
make
the
bloomington
city
of
bloomington's
animal
care
and
control
division.
A
model
for
other
shelters.
A
They're
down
currently
for
the
year
that
yeah
last
year,
mid-year,
we
were
at
six
percent
this
year,
mid-year
we're
at
three
percent.
You
know
that
can
fluctuate
a
bit
depending
on
the
type,
the
demeanor
and
types
of
animals
that
come
in
our
care,
but
I
mentioned
earlier:
we
do
we've
seen
an
increase
in
just
more
difficult
animals.
C
C
A
I
I
guess
I'd,
ask
virgil
to
kind
of
jump
in
here
sec
spit,
but
you
know,
I
think
I
think
certainly
folks
have
made
it
very
apparent
that
we
that
they
have
concerns
about
some
of
the
urban
deer
and
the
damage
they
cause
or
the
issues
they
cause.
But
I
think
we've
tried
to
you
know
various
approaches
to
that,
but
I'd
have
to
refer
to
virgil
and
other
experts
in
the
area.
B
K
L
M
It's
virgil,
sauder,
director
of
animal
care
and
control.
Can
everybody
hear
me
all
right?
Yes,
yes,
sir
okay,
there
has
not
been
a
significant
increase
from
previous
years.
We
tend
to
see
a
fluctuation
that
kind
of
goes
on
a
two
to
three
year
cycle,
but
right
now
we're
kind
of
holding
hold
and
study
from
previous
years.
L
M
M
N
N
N
M
N
Got
it?
Thank
you
in
a
second.
How
much
time
do
I
have?
Could
you
talk
a
little
bit?
I
know
that
the
the
new
facilities
at
the
shelter
were
a
big
investment
and
I'd
just
be
interested
in
hearing
more.
How
is
that
working
out?
What
kind
of
impact
have,
and
I
realize
it's
a
weird
year,
but
did
you
talk
about
the
impact
that
that's
had
on
staff
and
the
work
they
do.
A
I'll
jump
in
to
start
and
then
I'll
ask
virgil
to
follow
up,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
the
investments
made
at
the
at
the
facility
have
they've
increased
animal
safety.
They've
increased
staff
safety
they've
made
tremendous
improvements
in
just
the
overall
life
cycle
of
the
bill.
You
know
a
brand
new,
building's
gonna
last
a
lot
longer
and
it's
easier
to
maintain
it's
less
expensive
to
maintain
et
cetera,
et
cetera
but
virgil.
Why
don't
you
jump
in
from
with
some
more
specifics.
M
Yeah,
the
the
main
difference
we
see
on
a
daily
basis
is
a
decrease
in
transmissible
diseases
between
animal
populations.
So
we
have
less
upper
respiratory
infections
spreading
from
cats
to
cats
and
dogs
to
dogs.
So
has
made
a
big
change
in
the
amount
of
staff
time
it
takes
to
care
for
those
animals
on
a
daily
basis.
M
E
E
A
Well,
yeah,
absolutely
so
you
know
the
animal,
shelter
and
virgil
have
to
jump
in
here
and
correct
anything.
I
say
wrong,
but
you
know
the
shelter
staff
works
very
closely
with
the
monroe
county,
humane
association,
so
that
the
especially
the
animals
that
leave
our
care
are
you
know,
are,
are
fit
to
be
out
in
the
public.
We're
actually
having
some
really
in-depth
discussions
right
now
with
all
the
staff
members
at
the
shelter
about
that
specifically.
A
But
you
know
the
the
reduction
is
that
you
want
to
have
a
combination
of
things
occur
here,
so,
whether
it's
humane
education
for
how
to
man,
you
know
manage
a
a
difficult
or
bike-prone
dog.
It's
you
know,
so
it's
assisting
with
behavioral
programs,
it's
investing
in
different
programs
at
the
at
the
humane
association
that
helps
their
clients,
but
yeah
virgil.
Do
you
want
to
kind
of
jump
in
and
be
a
little
more
specific
than
what
I
can
be.
M
The
yeah,
so
a
lot
of
it
does
has
to
do
with
basically
education
work.
We
have
seen
this
year
an
uptick
in
our
bike
cases
being
reported.
Something
has
to
do
with
results
of
kovid
being
more
people
being
at
home.
More
people
walking
dogs
haven't
necessarily
been
out
and
socialized
around
people.
So
there
is
a
little
bit
of
an
increase
this
year
where
they
we
are
attempting
to
address
in
the
subsequent
years
as
well,
but
mostly
again,
it
has
to
do
with
education
of
people
involved.
E
C
C
C
I
I
don't
know
if
you
can
still
hear
my
my
internet
is
unstable,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
we
should
explore
a
welfare
man,
a
wildlife
management
team
in
order
to
at
least
track
populations
and
and
keep
track
of
the
number,
and
I
wondered
if
mr
souter
or
mr
wayson
would
like
to
weigh
in
on
this
need.
Since
it's
it's
apparent
to
me,
it's
continuing.
We
ought
to
at
least
be
tracking
populations.
It
seems.
A
Yeah
I'll
jump
in
just
on
a
general
level.
You
know
a
council
member,
I've
been
part
of
city
government
for
almost
15
years,
full
time
now,
and
you
know
I
don't
know
a
year
that
urban
deer
hasn't
been
talked
about,
and
so
you
know
it
is
a
community
problem.
It's
a
community-wide
problem
or
it's
a
community
issue
and
it's
community
you've
very
clearly
outlined
the
detriments
that
can
come
from
it
and
you
know
whether
it's
a
wildlife
management
team
or
a
you
know.
A
You
know
an
offshoot
of
what
was
the
dear
task,
for
you
know,
there's
so
many
options
there
and
I
you
know
I'll,
certainly
be
supportive
of
efforts
to
you
know
bring
professionals
together
have
conversations
with
the
community
about
this
and
such,
but
you
know,
do
I
think
it's
warranted.
Certainly
do
I
I
feel,
like
I
have
an
an
abundance
of
time
to
staff
a
task
force
right
now.
Maybe
not,
but
you
know
certainly
happy
to
discuss
what
you
know.
The
council
thinks
are
good.
A
M
B
C
C
Maybe
someday
we'll
get
to
zero
euthanasia,
and
so
I
think
they
did
an
extraordinary
job,
and
I
and
I
you
know-
I
hate-
to
bring
up
kind
of
a
thorny
question,
but
you
know
there's
no
better
place
to
put
it
since
we're
talking
about
animals
than
here,
and
that
is
the
perpetual
deer
problem
and
it
is
controversial
because
we
know
that
there
are
people
who
are
worried
about
if
management
proceeds,
what
type
of
management
that
would
entail.
But
you
know
there
have
been
advances
since
the
deer
task
force
met.
C
C
We
had
a
ball
state
study
and
I
have
to
disagree
here
with
mr
sauder
that
the
urban
deer
population
is
doesn't
move
it's
it
according
to
ball,
space
study,
it
stays
put
in
neighborhoods,
and
you
see
the
same
deer
day
in
and
day
out,
which
is
really
quite
different
than
what
we
thought
was
the
case
in
your
task
force,
and
that
means
it's
sort
of
an
island
effect
that
might
lead
it
to
be
controlled
through
birth
control.
So
the
point
is,
is
that
I
don't
think
we
can
ignore
this.
K
C
N
Yes,
thank
you.
Congratulations
on
all
that
you've
succeeded
at
during
this
extraordinary
year.
This
fuzzy
cat
behind
me
is
lucy
and
her
brother
linus
is
somewhere
and
they
started
their
life
at
the
shelter,
and
so
I
am
grateful
for
what
your
staff
did
connecting
with
them
and
I'm
sure
you've
affected
a
lot
of
families
the
same
way.
So
just
thank
you
for
what
you
do
and
congratulations
on
that
declining
euthanasia
rate.
I
think
that's
very
exciting
to
your
staff.
A
Well
great,
thank
you
for
those
comments.
Councilmember
linus
and
lan
linus
and
lucy
look
very
comfortable
back
there.
Those
kitty
cats
are
quite
you
know.
I
will
say:
the
wasin
family
during
covid
is
now
a
new
owner
of
lando,
the
long-haired
dachshund,
so
that
came
from
the
animal
shelter
and
so
we're
proud
of
our
efforts.
We
are.
O
O
The
reason
you
know
you've
been
in
city
government,
you
said
15
years
and
every
year
it's
been
an
issue
is
because
it's
not
going
away
because
we
haven't
really
addressed
it,
and
I
think
it
is
overdue
that
we
do
address
this
issue.
I
think,
with
the
climate
changing
and
things
getting
warmer,
we're
just
gonna
see
more
and
more
ticks
and
other
insects
that
are
carried
by
the
deer,
and
I
think
that
we're
already
you
know
in
the
last
five
years,
seeing
more
aggressive
deer
than
previously.
O
So
I
I'm
in
support
of
councilmember
ralla's
idea
about
a
wildlife
management
task
force
largely
focused
on
deer,
but
it
could
expand
to
other
species
as
well,
but
I
think
that
it
is.
It
is
high
time
that
we
address
this.
I
know
we've
got
you
know,
72
things
on
our
plates
and
covid,
and
and
it's
really
hard
to
find
the
time.
But
I
I
think
we
do
need
to
do
it
so,
but
thank
you
for
your
hard
work
and,
and
hopefully
we
can-
we
can
work
to
address
the
deer
issue
as
well.
E
E
E
I
don't
want
to
hammer,
but
I
want
to
keep
it
to
the
forefront
the
human
health
issue.
I
don't
think
that
I
am
violating
any
hipaa
rules
or
laws
with
discussion
of
medical,
and
I
try
to
govern
from
a
position
of
what's
best
for
all
involved,
but
this
gets
a
little
bit
personal
because
I
was
actually
bitten
by
a
deer
tick.
I
contracted
lyme
disease.
We
caught
it
early,
I'm
hearing
more
and
more
of
our
citizens
that
are
contracting
this
and
having
to
deal
with
that.
E
K
L
C
K
B
A
Let's
get
unmuted
all
right,
yeah
so
presentation:
oh
council,
member,
sims,
3
of
7.,
again
adam
wayson,
on
behalf
of
the
public
works
department,
presenting
the
2021
budget
request
for
the
facilities,
maintenance
division
simply
put
facilities,
maintenance
staff.
Do
all
the
things
necessary
to
keep
our
buildings
operational
and
maintained.
A
Not
to
harp
on
hvac
investments
at
city
hall,
but
we're
currently
in
the
process
of
installing
the
new,
approximately
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
cooling
tower
for
city
hall,
and
that
should
be
fully
operational
here
over
the
next
few
weeks.
I
think
they're
actually
working
on
the
installation
today
tomorrow
and
maybe
this
weekend
for
those
that
have
visited
the
building.
A
Recently,
you
probably
noticed
the
scaffolding
that
was
on
the
south
south
end
of
the
building
for
several
weeks,
I'm
first
masonry
a
long-standing
expert
in
historic
facade,
preservation,
completed
tuck,
pointing
masonry
repairs
that
will
hopefully
prove
that
better,
I'm
going
to
say,
hopefully
that
better
prevent
some
of
the
rain
water
infiltration
issues
that
we've
experienced
over
the
last
few
years.
I'd
really
like
to
thank
dave
umphress
and
his
crews
for
the
great
work
for
their
expertise.
For
I
I
again
I'll
plead
ignorance
here
masonry
on
a
100
year.
A
This
slide
here
can
highlight
how
the
various
departments
and
divisions
of
the
city
benefit
from
having
an
internal
facilities.
Maintenance
division
for
anything
staff
cannot
complete
in-house.
They
assist
in
overseeing
the
bid
process
and
project
management
for
projects
at
facilities
other
than
city
hall
facility
staff
also
does
an
excellent
job.
A
A
A
We
have
a
contract
being
awarded
for
new
overhead
doors
at
the
fleet,
maintenance
garage
with
the
target
date
of
completion
by
the
end
of
the
year,
we're
also
keeping
up
with
our
staff,
training
and
professional
development
by
having
two
staff
members
attend,
osha's
10
hour
training
course
this
year,
and
then
we're
also
planning
an
additional
30-hour
training
course
scheduled
with
risk
management
for
all
department
of
public
works
divisions
for
the
fourth
quarter.
This
year.
A
So
we
that's
one
where
we
would
administer
that
project
on
their
and
and
fund
that
project.
For
those
improvements,
as
mentioned
earlier,
we're
going
to
need
to
make
some
and
needed
investments
at
our
fire
stations
and
we
continue
and
again
we'll
continue
with
our
staff
training
development
opportunities
in
2021.
A
Overall
overall
budget
highlights
can
be
summed
up
by
stating
that
the
increases
we're
seeing
in
the
category
in
category
3
are
specific
to
higher
commodity
prices.
I
made
a
note
here
that
says
hopefully
no
one
needs
any
treated
lumber
right
now
that
we're
just
seeing
some
increases
across
the
board
and
a
lot
of
the
different
things
that
we
use
and
materials
we
use
at
the
facilities
department.
A
A
B

B

And
if
there
is
no
final
comment
once
again,
mr
wayson,
you
represent
the
hardest
working
individuals
at
the
city,
hall
and
and
beyond.
So
thank
you
for
that
report.
Let
us
now
move
on
to
the
next
one,
which
is:
do
you
want
to
do
a
do?
Pass
recommendation?
Oh
my
goodness.
Yes,
I
keep
forgetting
that
we've
got
to
do
that.
Let's
call
for
the
vote.
K

K
K
G

K

A
The
fleet
maintenance
division,
in
my
humble
opinion,
can
be
considered
the
behind
the
scenes.
Heroes
who
keep
the
city
operational,
24,
7,
365.,
the
dedication
and
experience
of
staff
is
critical
to
keeping
the
over
600
assets.
They
are
responsible
for
up
and
running,
so
city
services
can
be
delivered
efficiently.
A
The
10
ftes
at
fleet
maintenance
have
continued
to
operate
without
interruption
throughout
the
covet
19
pandemic.
Our
major
initiatives
in
2021
are
consistent
with
the
past
several
years
of
admission
of
initiatives
where
we're
looking
to
become
more
efficient
through
the
use
of
technology
data
and
metrics.
A
So
far
in
2020
fleet
maintenance
staff
has
completed
503,
preventative
maintenance
items
and
given
some
of
the
changing
priorities
throughout
the
year,
we're
having
to
kind
of
take
a
wait-and-see
approach
to
some
of
our
capital
purchases
and
things.
You
know
the
idea.
I
think
we're
going
to
be
able
to
fund
the
tow
truck
that
we
were
hoping
to
which
will
help
us
reduce
our
towing
costs
tremendously,
but
we're
making
sure
that
we
can
weather
the
storm
of
being
an
internally
funded
division
of
the
city.
A
We've
got
that
example
here
with
the
lucidity
asset
management
system
for
fleet
maintenance,
we're
almost
there
and
we're
looking
forward
to
getting
this
critical
software
functionality
up
and
running
to
really
modernize
the
way
in
which
we
track
vehicle
maintenance,
communicate
with
staff
members
assigned
to
to
supervise
and
use
the
vehicles
and
to
coordinate
routine
and
preventative
maintenance
in
a
better
way.
We're
currently
working
with
the
vendor
to
explore
some
virtual
training
opportunities
and
a
remote
implementation
for
the
final
steps.
A
So
lucid,
as
I've
been
talking
about,
is
currently
developing
a
report
function
for
the
new
vehicle
points
analysis.
It's
one
of
the
last
steps
needed
to
finalize
our
fleet,
our
applications,
which
will
include
some
better
ways
to
track
the
diesel
exhaust
fluid
usage
for
the
various
city
departments.
A
Some
other
2020
budget
highlights
I'd
like
to
go
through.
Is
that
we're
working
to
formalize,
like
I
said,
the
death
tracking
for
the
different
departments
and
we're
also
hoping
towards
the
end
of
this
year
and
into
2021
to
really
implement
a
robust
gps
telematics
system
funding?
Is
you
know
again
pretty
uncertain
for
this
year,
but
we're
con
really
committed
to
moving
this
project
forward.
This
allows
this
will
allow
city
departments
to
better
monitor,
monitor
vehicle
usage
idle
times
driving,
behaviors
and
vehicle
locations.
A
This
may
show
my
public
works
nerdiness,
but
I
really
look
forward
to
the
day
when
our
residents
can
simply
go
to
our
website
and
see
where
the
trash
or
recycling
truck
is
on
the
route
or
where
the
snow
plow
is
in
their
neighborhood
during
a
snow
event,
as
is
the
theme
you
can
probably
notice.
Developing
in
this
presentation.
A
Is
that
major
capital
purchases
are
kind
of
are
just
we're,
taking
a
wait
and
see
approach,
we're
hopeful
to
implement
a
more
robust
inventory
management
system
in
2020
and
again
just
kind
of
holding
off
on
some
on
those
major
purchases.
While
we
wait
and
see
where
revenues
come
in
for
some
of
the
departments?
A
Again,
thanks
to
the
council,
support
we've
been
able
to
conven
continue,
investing
in
cost
and
safety
improvements
by
investing
in
the
needed
tools
and
equipment
to
service
the
wide
variety
of
vehicles.
We're
responsible
for
we've
also
been
investing
in
more
fuel-efficient
vehicles,
including
the
purchase
of
two
all-electric
chevy
bolts
that
have
just
arrived
in
the
last
month
or
so
we're
also
working
with
several
city
depart
with
all
city
departments
to
try
to
identify
the
20
most
underutilized
vehicles
within
the
entire
fleet
and
looking
at
ways
to
better
deploy
those
amongst
the
various
departments.
A
This
is
one
of
the
my
favorite
pictures
that
we'll
present
tonight,
while
it
doesn't
exactly
represent
routine
maintenance
activities,
this
picture
does
represent
something
that
routinely
happens
at
the
fleet:
maintenance,
garage
fleet,
maintenance,
technicians
and
mechanics.
They
come
up
with
innovative
solutions
to
sometimes
complex
issues.
A
Frank
and
ryan
here
are
holding
devices
that
help
make
the
bollard
installation
and
removal
process
for
kirkwood
much
more
ergonomic
and
easier
to
complete
for
those
staff.
Members
that
undertake
those
initiatives
they
the
the
team
down
there
got
creative
they
manufactured
and
machined
these
devices
over
a
couple
hours
and
days
to
in
response
to
our
crews,
seeking
a
better
way
to
do
this.
A
I
just
I
I'd
be
remiss
to
say
all
the
staff
members
of
at
fleet
have
that
creativity
about
them
that
can
make
you
know
tough
situations,
manageable
and
tough
repairs.
I've
seen
some
ingenious
things
that
they
have
done
down
there,
to
get
old
fire
trucks
running
or
to
fill
a
floorboard.
That's
caving
through
with
a
street
sign
to
any
number
of
things,
but
they're
they're,
they're
routinely
being
very
creative
down
at
the
fleet.
Maintenance
garage,
as
with
many
public
works
operations.
The
fleet
technicians
are
on
call
24,
7
365.
A
Fuel
management
is
another
big
responsibility
for
fleet
maintenance.
We're
continually
striving
to
find
ways
to
reduce
fuel
consumption,
increase
fuel
efficiency
in
our
vehicles
that
we
purchase
and
to
meet
all
of
the
regula
regulatory
guidelines
required
of
us
for
managing
two
different
fuel
sites.
A
Major
2020
budget
request
and
goal
is
to
add
automated
def,
I'm
probably
going
to
butcher
this,
but
diesel
exhaust
fluid
for
a
lack
of
better
term
dispensers
or
pumps
at
our
fueling
stations.
Right
now
we
have
to
buy
these
by
the
large
barrel
and
and
by
the
case,
and
it's
a
newer
additive
for
diesel
vehicles
over
the
last
several
years.
So
what
we're
hopeful
to
do
and
is
to
get
some
bulk
tanks
at
each
of
our
each
of
our
fueling
stations.
A
So
then
we
can
easily
track
the
usage
amongst
the
city
departments
and
have
a
very
easy
way
for
staff.
To
add
that
as
needed
and
required,
another
major
investment
and
part
of
our
2020
budget
goals
is
to
get
a
small
outdoor
storage
barn
to
free
up,
much
needed
and
valuable
square
footage
in
the
fleet
garage.
A
A
In
summary,
we're
requesting
a
3.66
million
dollar
budget
for
fleet
maintenance
in
2021,
which
is
a
9
increase
of
from
2020
again
proud,
is
an
understatement.
When
it
comes
to
the
service
provided
and
the
expertise
that
the
staff
at
fleet
maintenance
have,
the
staff
can
do
everything
from
fix
a
chainsaw
or
a
weed
eater
to
overhaul
a
hydraulic
system
on
a
solid
waste
truck.
A
B
O
Yes,
thank
you.
I
heard
you
say
that
in
category
2
there
was
an
increase
in
the
budget
because
of
higher
fuel
costs,
or
maybe
it
was
category
three.
I
don't
know-
and
I'm
just
curious
about
that,
because
when
we
heard
the
bloomington
transit
budget
they
budgeted
less
for
fuel
because
they're
expecting
lower
fuel
costs.
So
is
that
we
talking
about
different
kind
of
fuel
or
what's
up
with.
O
A
A
P
So
can
you
hear
me
yes
go
ahead,
please
so
we're
bait,
we
base
our
fuel
pricing
off
of
a
five-year
average.
So
if
you
had
a
couple
years
ago
that
it
was
four
or
something
a
gallon,
and
now
it's
around
around
two
based
off
that
average,
it's
showing
an
increase
plus
we're
also
increasing
our
fleet
size
to
where
you
know,
30
or
40
vehicles
a
year.
So
the
cost
of
those
is
what
we
we
include
that
as
well.
O
P
They
probably
get
a
better
pricing
because
they
probably
they
only
use
diesel,
so
they're,
probably
getting
a
lot
cheaper
price
to
where
we
buy
diesel
and
gas.
And
then
we
get
it
from
different
vendors,
they're,
probably
getting
all
theirs
from
the
same
vendor
for
they're,
probably
doing
a
yearly
bid.
F
A
Yeah,
so
you
know,
as
I
spoke
to
as
I
spoke
to
earlier,
you
know
we're
hopeful
to
get
a
real,
robust
gps
telematics
system
it'll
not
only
track
idle
times,
but
drive
behaviors
locations,
etc.
But
you
know
so
we
would
try
to
do
some
benchmarking
very
early
on
based
on
idle
times
and
seek
some
of
those
reductions
through
educational
campaigns,
enforcement
campaigns.
A
You
know,
I
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
that
although
we
have
a
no
idling
policy
city-wide
for
non-emergency
vehicles,
that's
not
always
adhered
to,
and
so
this
would
it's
not
a
big
brother
effort
as
much
as
it's
just
a
good
management
effort.
You
know
there
are
certain
vehicles
at
utilities,
for
instance,
that
they
might
not
be
considered
public
safety
vehicles,
but
they're
public
water
supply
vehicles,
and
they
may
need
to
idle
for
certain
reasons.
A
F
Q
Thank
you
thanks
for
the
presentation
so
far,
mr
whitham
quick
question:
now
we
have
some
protected
bike
lanes
in
our
midst
coming
and
then
adam
street.
Can
you
hear
me
yep,
yeah,
okay,
okay,
sorry,
do
we
have
something
in
the
fleet
to
keep
those
clear
of
like
snow
debris
from
cars
and
all
that
stuff,
or
do
we
need
to
budget
that
for
a
new
purchase.
A
We
think
we've.
Yes,
we've
got
some
smaller
bobcats
and
some
things
that
we,
I
think
could
be
utilized
in
the
time
being
we're
going
to
be
really
researching.
You
know,
especially
as
we
add
more
and
more
of
these
protected
bike
lanes
and
things
white,
equipment's
gonna,
do
it
the
best
and
most
efficiently
and
and
all
that,
but
I
think
we've
got
some
interim
plans
to
use
some
equipment
we
already
have
so,
for
instance,
some
of
our
bobcat
attachments
include
a
big
large
brush.
A
B
L
K
G
J
K
A
While
it
doesn't
quite
exist.
Well,
it
doesn't
exist
at
this
time.
We
are
requesting
the
council
support
and
making
organizational
changes
that
will
centralize
all
things
parking,
as
recommended
in
the
desmond
parking
study
to
a
parking
services.
Division
under
the
under
the
umbrella
of
public
works.
A
A
A
As
mentioned
earlier,
the
first
four
goals
are
carryovers
listed
here:
are
carryovers
into
2021,
due
to
not
being
completed
in
2020
we're
also
looking
to
complete
level
one
and
two
on
levels.
One
and
two,
a
slab
on
grade
repair
ryan,
will
have
to
explain
that.
I
don't
know
what
it
means:
slav
on
grade
repairs
at
the
walnut
street
garage
and
then
completing
some
final
stages
of
exterior
work
on
the
morton
street
garage.
A
We
do
look
forward
to
getting
these
structures
up
and
running
and
serving
the
community
and
its
visitors
in
2021
the
parks,
art
certification
is
still
set
to
be
the
first
in
indiana,
as
stated
bringing
parking
enforcement
to
the
parking
services.
Division
is
being
done
so
after
much
contemplation
research
and
at
the
recommendation
of
the
desmond
parking
study,
as
I
said,
stated
to
some
long
time,
staff
members
and
parking
enforcement.
It's
like
they're,
coming
back
home
as
the
department
of
public
works
was
the
long
time
home
of
all
things
parking
previously.
A
A
Moving
on
to
some
highlights
of
some
of
the
parking
meter,
funds
you'll
see
a
major
expenditure
here
and
a
377
percent
increase
to
category
2
supplies.
This
is
the
result
of
needing
to
upgrade
our
meter
technologies
to
a
4g
5g
platform
from
the
original
2g
platform,
I'll
just
state
now
that
if
anyone
has
any
technical
questions
on
this,
one
I'll
be
turning
it
over
to
michelle
and
rayanne
for
for
answers
faster
than
you
know
it.
A
A
Next
again,
this
is
a
major
organizational
shift
that
we're
requesting
of
the
council
and
I'm
sure
there
will
be
some
robust
discussions.
I
do
want
to
thank
michelle
and
raeanne
and
all
the
all
the
folks
that
work
on
all
the
various
parking
issues
here
at
the
city.
You
know
when,
when
it
was
becoming
apparent
that
public
works
was
gonna,
be
the
requested
new
home
of
all
things
parking
enforcement.
I
thought
oh
yay,
one
of
the
more
controversial
topics
that
could
come
to
public
works
and
we'll
we'll
handle
we'll
handle
it.
A
J
Yes
thanks
mr
wayson
for
the
presentation
so
far
I
haven't
had
a
lot
to
say
here,
but
what
you
just
said
now,
at
the
very
end,
is
what
piqued
my
interest.
You
talked
about
taking
great
care
to
think
about
parking
services
which
is
coming
back
to
public
works,
but
some
of
the
other
things
you
said
in
the
presentation.
J
You
know
sort
of
hint
at
sort
of
the
the
way
that
public
works
used
to
think
about
things
like
parking,
which
was
all
about
the
cars.
It's
all
about
getting
the
cars
parked
and
you
know.
Fortunately
I
didn't
hear
anything
about
getting
them
parked
cheaply.
But
there
are
many
of
us
who
have
concerns
about
how
much
parking
supply
we're
providing,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
generally,
but
specifically,
does
public
works?
Talk
at
all
about
non-car
parking
is
non-car
parking
going
to
have
a
priority
in
public
works?
A
Yeah
absolutely
councilman
roland
wheat,
yes
yeah.
I
think
our
dedication
to
providing
parking
to
them
just
to
things
that
are
non-traditional.
Automobiles
been
pretty
apparent
in
the
last
several
discussions,
whether
it
was
about
the
the
bicycle
lockers
and
different
motorcycle
parking
at
the
at
the
replacement,
garage
and
new
garages.
You
know
the
inclusion
of
oh
shoot.
There's
a
technical
name
form
that
we're
using,
but
the
bike
corral.
So
you
know
as
part
of
the
kirkwood
enhancements.
We.
A
We
really
made
the
parking
corral
right
outside
of
uptown
and
trojan
horse
more
robust
with
a
concrete
pad
and
more
bike
hoops.
We've
done
bike
corrals
there
on
the
north
side
of
the
square.
So
absolutely
yes,
we'll
continue
to.
We
will
and
we
will
dedicate
prioritize
and
and
and
balance
all
users
of
the
network
and
and
and
follow.
You
know
I
recognize
as
much
as
anyone.
You
know
the
comp
plan,
the
transportation
plan,
all
those
things
want
to
prioritize
all
you
know
the
bicycle
and
pedestrians.
Okay.
A
Well,
you
know
I'm
going
to
rely
on
michelle
as
as
the
hired
professional
she's
got.
Well,
I
wouldn't
dare
say
a
number
of
years
experience,
but
she's
got
many
many
years
of
experience
in
managing
high-level
parking
operations,
but
I
don't
think
any
one
person
would
ever
be
responsible
for
setting
parking
pricing.
I
think
it's
a
collaborative
effort
amongst
many
city
departments
amongst
the
city
council,
amongst
my.
F
A
Transportation,
demand
management,
and
I
do
know
based
on
discussions
with
michelle
and
and
she
is,
she
has
experience
and
and
past
positions
with
assisting
with
the
implementation
of
transportation
demand
management.
So
I
think
there
will
be
a
role
where
it
actually
lives.
I
don't
know
if
I'd
give
an
opinion
at
this
time.
A
O
A
O
A
Well,
what
I
can
say
is
that
you
know
there
will
be
some
pretty
significant
changes
there.
You
know
whether
it's
the
type
of
lights
on
the
vehicles-
you
know
public
works
vehicles,
don't
have
red
white
and
blue
lights
on
the
top
of
them.
You
know
so
you
know,
we've
been
thinking
about
all
those
things
you
know
in
terms
of
traffic
management.
A
H
I
Hi
thanks,
I'm
greg
alexander
again.
Two
things
I
want
to
draw
your
attention
to
first
off
is
that
parking
within
public
works
does
actually
wind
up
responsible
for
sidewalks.
If
somebody
just
abandons
a
car
on
the
sidewalk
or
in
a
bike
lane,
it
winds
up
at
the
desk
of
somebody
on
public
works
as
near
as
I
can
tell,
and
they
have
not
done
a
good
job
at
this
so
far.
I
They
it
takes
like
a
week
and
a
half
to
tow
an
abandoned
vehicle
out
of
a
bike
lane
a
week
and
a
half
to
tow
an
abandoned
vehicle
out
of
a
bike
lane.
There's
businesses
that
every
single
day
that
they're
open
they
park,
cars
on
the
sidewalk
and
they're,
not
doing
anything
effective.
You
know
this
could
be
solved
very
quickly
with
just
a
single
trip
with
a
tow
truck.
I
If
that
business
started
losing
cars
to
a
tow
truck,
they
would
respond
immediately,
but
because
it's
a
ticket,
they
just
kind
of
work
their
way
out
of
it
and
hope
that
the
number
of
tickets
is
not
significant
enough
to
offset
the
advantage
they
get
by
using
the
sidewalk
as
parking.
That's
a
that's,
that's
a
safety
violation,
but
it's
being
treated
as
basically
a
parking
revenue
problem,
and
then
the
other
side
is
btop
started
15
years
ago.
I
Almost
counting
parking
garages
with
just
you
know
three
or
four
volunteers,
and
we
showed
that
there
was
a
lot
of
excess
space,
even
though
the
administration
at
that
time
wanted
to
build
a
new
parking
garage.
I
am
still
doing
that
on
occasion
with
just
my
own
labor
and
I,
as
we've
had
more
and
more
city
staff
dedicated
to
this
parking
problem.
I
I've
been
I've
been
hoping
that
if
they,
if
they
wouldn't
give
informed
opinions
that
at
least
they
would
give
the
information
and-
and
that
hasn't
been-
it's
still
very
difficult
to
find
out
if
parking
garages
are
paying
for
themselves,
it's
difficult
to
find
out
if
the
parking
garages
are
empty
and
they
are.
I
can
just
tell
you
right
now.
I
B
F
Yes
related
question
kind
of
about
data
availability.
Essentially
I
I
I've
been
meaning
to
ask
michelle
wall
about
this,
but
I
just
haven't
reached
out
yet
and
I'm
kind
of
curious.
I
know
there's
some,
maybe
some
technology
challenges
to
knowing
and
I'm
thinking
about
not
just
garages
but
all
parking
and
just
looking
at
utilization.
F
So
you
know
meter
spaces
by
block
or
even
individual
space,
the
garages
for
sure
and
revenue
streams
and
and
funding,
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
I'm
interested
in
digging
in
a
little
bit
more
and,
as
you
know,
council
members
to
make
informed
decisions
about
pricing
parking.
Like
that's
data,
we
really
need
to
know
as
well.
So
could
you
just
speak
to
what's
available
any
gaps
there
are
and
any
technology
issues
related
to
that
or
if
it's
yeah,
can
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
that?
Mr
rayson.
A
R
Sure,
thanks
matt
for
your
question.
Right
now,
I've
been
on
staff
for
a
year
and
there
are
some
technology
and
data
that
I
have
that
when
the
parking
services
and
the
parking
enforcement
officers
and
their
information
about
meters
and
reporting
things
like
that,
that
is
something
I'm
definitely
going
to
work
towards
finding
someone
that
can
mine
that
data
and
make
sure
that
we
have
the
appropriate
information
at
the
appropriate
time.
It
is
something
that
I'm
working
on.
R
A
J
I
do
know
a
little
bit
about
this
when
the
2016
report
was
compiled.
We
calculated
that
overall
parking
amounted
to
roughly
seven
percent
of
that
year's
annual
budget,
but
that
really
depends
on
how
you
measure
it.
The
figure
is
in
the
mid
seven
figures
somewhere
in
the
five
to
seven
million
dollar
range,
when
you
add
revenues
from
every
source
in
2016,
the
overall
parking
system
generated
a
net
revenue
of
around
two
hundred
thousand
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
on
revenues
of
five
six,
seven
million.
B
J
Yeah
I'll
take
a
crack
at
it,
so
this
is
another
I
mean
I'm
of
course,
deeply
involved
in
parking
issues.
Since
it's
such
a
big
deal
for
district
six,
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
have
particularly
enjoyed
working
with
michelle
wall.
I
think
she's
a
great
hire,
I'm
glad
that
we
have
a
parking
services
director
and
I'm
glad
that
we're
consolidating
most
parking
services.
J
J
J
There
are
planning
documents
and
specifically
our
transportation
plan
and
that's
pretty
clearly
called
for
you
know:
transportation
demand
management.
The
administration
has
responded
appropriately
by
planning
to
hire
transportation.
It's
the
one
of
the
few
hires
being
made
this
year,
so
I'm
I'm
encouraged
by
all
of
that.
I
just
you
know,
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
find
ourselves
sort
of.
J
What's
the
word,
I'm
looking
for
sort
of
shrugging
about
this
policy,
it
is
excruciatingly
important.
It's
one
of
the
most
important
policies
we
could
have
doesn't
seem
like
it,
but
it's
important
and
it's
complicated
it
parking
is
never
going
to
get
any
easier.
It's
only
going
to
get
more
complicated
because
it's
a
service
that
serves
a
variety
of
people
for
a
variety
of
different
reasons.
J
G
B
C
G
H
J
K
L
A
There
we
are
lost
my
mute
bar,
so
just
two
more
to
go.
This
is
our
2020
budget
2021
budget
request
for
the
sanitation
division,
another
group
of
hard-working
unsung
heroes
that
have
kept
the
city
up
and
running
throughout
these
crazy
times.
We're
living
in
my
upmost
thanks
and
respect
go
out
to
the
men
and
women,
the
women
and
men
that
make
up
the
sanitation
division,
whether
it's
100
degrees
out
negative
5
degrees
out
or
during
a
global
pandemic.
A
A
Overall,
the
division
has
not
achieved
the
recycling
divertion
weight
rate
so
far
this
year
that
they
that
we
hope
to
we're
currently
at
about
30
percent
diversion
and
our
goal
is
set
at
40.
40
is
pretty
ambitious.
It's
we
try
to
be
ambitious
with
that
goal,
but
I
think
we've
got
several
factors
of
why
we're
not
seeing
meeting
that
expectation
as
we'd
hoped
we.
So
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
we,
when
we
look
at
our
overall
collection
rates
and
such
covid
has
had
a
tremendous
impact,
oh
shoot.
A
I
can't
get
to
the
spreadsheet
sharing
my
screen.
What
we
know
is
that
march
april
and
may
we
saw
tremendous
increases
in
the
tonnages
of
solid
waste.
Picking
that
we
picked
up,
we
saw
increases
in
the
amount
of
recycling.
We
were
picking
up
the
stay-at-home
orders,
the
restaurant
ordering,
the
all
the
things
whether
it's
spring
cleanings
all
spring,
every
house
in
the
claw,
every
closet
in
the
house
getting
cleaned
you
name
it.
We
were
starting
to
see
dramatic
increases
there.
A
Another
big
coveted
impact
was
we
weren't
able
to
do
our
neighborhood
cleanups,
as
we
usually
do
due
to
the
need
for
close
personal
interaction
during
those
pro
those
projects,
as
far
as
our
yard
waste
collection?
So
far
this
year
we've
collected
33
tons
of
material
and
we've
also
sold
additional
72
yard
waste
containers.
A
It
will
be
collecting
council
member
volun
you'll
appreciate
this,
but
I
truly
cannot
wait
to
send
you
the
first
sets
of
benchmark
data
later
this
year
for
us
to
dig
deep
on.
I'm
excited.
I
know
you
are
while
I
mention
the
difficulty
in
reaching
our
recycling
diversion
goals.
I'll
also
add
now
that
I'm
sure
this
is
something
many
of
you
have
followed.
A
Overall
budget
highlights
here:
we've
got
the
fuel
cost
increases
that
we're
expecting,
as
well
as
some
higher
set
rates
from
the
fleet
maintenance
division.
You
know
those
brand
new
trucks
three
years
ago
are
now
three
years
old.
Their
warranties
are
coming
up,
their
repair
costs
are
also
rising,
so
we
expect
to
see,
increases
there.
A
I
can
tell
you,
I
think
I've
mentioned
in
past
years
of
budget
hearings,
that
you
know
I
often
get
stopped
in
the
grocery
store
on
different
things,
to
talk
about
with
city
operations
and
public
works,
and
I
I
can
100
assure
you
that
the
number
one
positive
remark
I
get
is
about
the
trash
carts
and
about
the
ease
and
of
the
new
system
and
stuff.
So
you
know
it's
had
some
challenges
but
very
proud
of
the
efforts
there.
Overall.
B
E
Do
mr
wayson,
almost
all
there
one
more
to
go?
Yes
again,
I
am
when
we
first
talked
about
the
automated
system,
one
of
the
the
selling
points
for
me
at
least-
and
I
think
many
of
us-
was
the
human
impact
and
and
lessening
of
injuries
and
that
sort
of
thing.
So
how
are
we
doing
in
that
regard
with
regard
to
on
the
job,
injuries
and
things
associated
with
that.
A
A
I
can
tell
you
so:
there's
been
a
tremendous
reduction
year
over
year,
we
had
one
year
since
automation,
where
we
had
one
major
cost
injury
that
kind
of
skewed
the
numbers.
Overall,
the
number
of
injuries
are
down,
the
severity
of
injuries
are
down
and
we
can
get
you
a
much
more
specific
report
on
that
as
part
of
our
follow-up.
But,
yes,
it's
been,
it's
had
a
great
impact.
You
know,
I
hear
it
through
the
the
crews
on
a
regular
basis.
You
know
in
terms
of
the
lessened
physical
requirements
that
they
have.
E
Okay,
thank
you.
I
have
a
little
bit
of
time.
Left
too.
I
noticed
on
our
recycle
cart
that
we've
got
new
stickers
on
the
top.
I
think
it's
important
to
say,
don't
put
used
needles
either
trash
or
recycle,
but
the
newest
one.
I
think
it's
the
black
label
that
basically
gives
you
a
phone
number
to
call
or
to
go
to
the
city's
website
with
regard
to
what
items
to
or
the
acceptable,
recycle
items
just
for
future
reference.
I
don't
think
that's
very
user
friendly
and
maybe
there's
a
better
way.
E
We
could
do
that
to
help
on
on
the
user.
In
for
one
we
know
we
can
recycle
plastic,
but
once
you
go
on
the
website,
then
it
tells
you
a
whole
list
of
certain
types
of
plastic
that
are
unacceptable
and
I'm
not
so
sure
how
many
folks
would
go
to
say.
The
film
covered
plastic,
as
opposed
to
you,
know,
acceptable
plastic.
So,
therefore,
I
think
that
leads
to
a
lot
of
contaminated
recycle,
which
causes
a
problem
for
you
all.
A
As
I've
said
to
a
few
folks
today,
I
am
the
cleanup
batter
so
we'll
try
to
hit
a
grand
slam
with
the
softball.
You
know,
council,
member
sims.
What
I
can
tell
you
is
that
we
we
struggled
with
how
we
were
going
to
make
this
change.
If
I
could
go
back
to
three
years
ago,
I
would
have
never
put
the
graphic
on
the
carts.
That
said
exactly
what's
recyclable,
because
we've
seen
such
major
changes
across
the
industry.
A
A
If
we
have
a
major
change
in
us,
a
particular
commodity,
that's
not
going
to
be
accepted,
going
forward,
we're
going
to
hit
the
media
efforts
really
hard,
we're
going
to
hit
the
sanitation
bill
and
the
utilities
mailings
really
hard
we're
going
to
do
door,
hangers
or
different
things.
But
this
was
our
attempt
to
just
make
some
progress
there
based
on
what's
changed
so,
but
I
do
appreciate
the
sentiment
sentiment.
I
I
surely
do
and
council
members,
I
forgot.
Yes,
yes,
yeah.
G
A
We've
been
researching,
I
mean
we've
been
researching
other
communities
that
offer
curbside.
We
are
just
simply
not
in
a
place
financially
right
now
to
make
a
major
in
a
major
program
investment
there
city-wide,
you
know
we.
We
raised
our
rates
to
the
highest
end
of
the
range
currently
approved
by
the
city
council.
I
think
it
would
require.
I
think
it
certainly
would
require
a
legislative
change
and
but
something
we
you
know
we
want
to
encourage
on
the
household
level.
A
S
Q
I
mean
I
would
be
up
for
revisiting
actually
like
people
paying
full
price
for
compost
yeah.
I
think
I
think
people
will
be
up
for
that.
If
it's
you
know
relatively
affordable,
but
not
subsidizing.
It
potentially,
even
though
it's
a
good
thing
to
subsidize
but
covering
the
cost
just
so,
people
have
that
option.
A
Yeah,
absolutely
so
you
know
we
look
at
it
from
the
perspective
of
what
new
equipment
purchases
would
be
required,
how
much
staffing
would
be
required?
We've
got
some
good
information
and
research.
We've
done
on
that.
It's
costly
you
know,
and
especially
if
you're
gonna
run
set
routes
like
we
do
with
with
trash
with
the
solid
waste
and
recycling.
It's
green
camino,
I
believe,
is
the
name
of
at
least
one
of
the
companies.
That's
licensed.
G
H
S
K
S
Yes
period,
I'm
sorry,
that's
right!
Okay,
then,
I
will
quickly
add
a
couple
of
suggestions
and
that
is
to
potentially
use
a
qr
code
to
with
a
link
to
a
printable
document
with
recyclable
materials
for
the
lids,
and
the
other
is
if
the
city
can't
provide
full
composting
services
to
potentially
host
on
the
website,
some
simple
home
composting
resources
or
literature
that
would
allow
citizens
who
are
interested
to
undertake
it
themselves
so
that.
A
A
We
had
as
part
of
our
kessler
consulting
report.
I
believe
they
utilized
more
of
the
well.
No,
because
that
the
county's
report
came
afterwards.
I
think
we
we
didn't
do
a
full
audit
of
the
waste
stream.
I
think
they
did
some
basic
reconnaissance
on
that
something
we
could
be
interested
in.
I
do
know
that
the
county's
report
did
include
the
city's
waste
stream.
A
I'm
almost
well
I'd
hate
to
say
I'm
100,
certain
of
that,
but-
and
you
know
the
things
that
we
gleaned
off
of
that
was-
we
knew
40
of
our
waste
stream.
Our
solid
waste
stream
was
was
compostable.
We
knew
some
rates
of
recyclable
materials
in
there.
We
learned
from
the
county's
report,
you
know
the
all
about
the
murph
and
what
the
requirements
for
collection
would
be
to
make
that
economically
viable.
J
J
I
hope
that
the
data
will
be
ready
by
then
because
this
is
a
very
important
thing
to
get
more
people
to
to
take
part
in
to
increase
and
improve
our
numbers
lower
our
carbon
footprint,
I'm
also
going
to
be
interested
in
hearing
sometime
soon
about
the
impact
of
the
new.
The
soon-to-be
new
second
company
providing
transfer
station
in
in
town
rumpke,
apparently
is
coming
to
town
with
their
landfill
closer
to
bloomington
than
hoosier
disposal.
J
J
Overall,
I
know
that
it's
been
crazy
times
for
sanitation
and
public
works,
of
course
in
general.
Nevertheless,
the
the
the
data
could
not
come
a
moment
too
soon
and
I
am
very
eager
to
see
it,
and
I
expect
that
mr
waste
is
going
to
send
it
to
me
as
soon
as
he
has
some,
but
I
hope
that
that's
before
the
end
of
first
quarter
next
year,
thanks
very
much
bye-bye.
O
Yes,
I
wanted
to
thank
the
member
of
the
public
joseph
weinea
for
his
suggestion
about
the
qr
code.
I
think
that's
a
great
idea
on
the
the
bins
I
do
currently
serve
on
the
monterey
county,
solid
waste
management
district
board
after
many
many
years
of
service
by
my
colleague,
councilmember
vollen,
and
if
you
really
are
interested
in
waste
management,
we
have
a
citizens
advisory
committee
and
we
would
love
for
you
to
get
involved.
O
The
website
is:
go
greendistrict.com,
a
little
public
service
announcement
there.
I
really
really
commend
the
sanitation
crews.
I
mean
here
we
are
in
the
midst
of
a
global
pandemic
of
a
life-threatening
disease
and
they
are
out
still
messing
with
people's
garbage.
So
it's
it's
commendable.
I'm
sure
they
have
many
safety
measures,
but
still
it's
not
something
you
want
to
be
doing
when
there's
a
communicable
diseases
around.
O
So
thank
thank
you
very
much
to
those
crews
and
thank
you,
mr
wayson,
for
your
presentation,
I'm
also
eager
to
to
get
the
data
on
the
new
sanitation
system
and
see
if
we
can't
come
up
with
a
way
to
develop
a
pay-as-you-throw
program
for
because
there
are
people
who
really
and
commendably
so
dispose
of
very
very
little,
and
so
if
we
can
reward
them
by
not
having
them
pay
the
the
minimum
bin
fee.
That
would
be
great.
Thank
you.

A
It's
the
seven
times
the
seventh
time
I've
done
this
this
evening.
I
should
have
it
down
by
now
all
right,
you're
doing
pretty
well
screen
is
shared
okay.
Here
we
are.
We
are
rounding,
the
final
corner
before
the
finish
line.
This
will
be
the
2021
budget
request
for
the
street
division
street
division,
street
and
traffic
division
of
public
works,
provides
a
wide
array
of
city
services
and
managing
and
maintaining
public
rights
of
way,
as
I
mentioned
previously
we're
seeing
some
pretty
big
hits
to
our
revenues
in
the
motor
vehicle
highway
fund.
A
I
want
to
clearly
state
my
thanks
to
the
administration
and
the
controller
for
assisting
and
finding
ways
to
offset
these
revenue
reductions
with
the
potential
roughly
one
million
dollar
interdepartmental
transfer
from
the
dp.
The
public
works
administration
budget
request
that
we
spoke
about
earlier,
and
I
guess
this
is
just
when
I
just
say.
Thank
you,
mr
underwood.
Thank
you,
mr
underwood.
A
A
A
A
If
I'd
known
the
amount
of
work,
I
would
have
been
creating
for
myself
last
budget
season
by
talking
so
frankly
about
the
leafing
program.
I'd
do
it
all
over
again.
It
has
allowed
us
to
have
significant
and
hopefully
impactful
conversations
on
how
to
modify
operations
to
reduce
fuel
consumption
while
still
operating
a
successful
program.
A
We
initiated
and
begun
construction
of
the
second
phase
of
the
sidewalk
repair
assistance
program.
I've
referred
to
previously
construction
began
in
late
july,
along
north
madison
street
between
14th
and
17th
street,
and
that
will
replace
100
or
1100
linear
feet
of
sidewalk
and
700
linear
feet
of
curve.
A
Three
existing
traffic
signals
are
also
scheduled
for
replacement.
Actually,
we've
moved
one
of
those
out
17
and
done,
but
overall
street
division
is
also
in
the
process
of
acquiring
proposal
from
vendors
for
technology
upgrades
for
several
corridors
of
traffic
signals
and
we're
hopeful
to
get
this
goal
completed
by
the
end
of
quarter.
Four,
with
our
management
of
the
urban
forest
in
coordination
with
parks
and
recreation,
we
have
responded
to
40
different
incidents
of
hazardous
tree
removal.
A
Overall
160
tons
of
debris
was
removed
from
city
streets
and
I
would
like
to
just
point
out
some
recent
efforts
at
some
of
our
community
gateways
to
really
work
on
some
beautification
efforts.
Over
the
last
several
weeks,
we
spent
many
many
staff
hours
with
a
variety
of
assistants
from
parks
and
rec
and
city
of
bloomington
utilities,
as
well
as
the
brighton,
b-town
crews
to
remove
weeds
within
the
gutter
lines
and
where
the
asphalt
meets
the
concrete
lines.
A
A
Continuing
with
some
of
our
2020
budget
goal
updates
with
the
lrs
phone
and
street
lights,
we've
taken
a
very
conservative
approach,
not
knowing
where
funding
was
going
to
end
up
with
the
local
road
and
street
fund
that
funds
new
street
light
installations,
but
we're
happy
to
report
that
we
believe
we're
going
to
be
able
to
meet
our
goals
in
that
area.
For
2020..
A
Moving
on
to
2021
you're
going
to
see
that
a
lot
of
our
goals
are
very
similar
to
what
we've
done
in
2020.,
it's
purposeful,
the
responsibility
areas
remain
the
same,
and
while
we
try
to
become
improve
and
become
more
efficient
every
year,
the
responsibility
areas
of
the
street
department
really
stay
the
same,
given
some
of
the
funding
impacts
with
the
mvh
fund.
That
we've
talked
about
we're
hopeful
to
be
able
to
continue
to
meet
our
goals
for
2020
and
2021,
but
there
I'd
be
lying.
If
I
didn't
say
there
was
some
uncertainty
there.
A
Actually,
I'm
kidding
we'll
be
fully
prepared
to
respond
to
any
and
all
snow
events
that
may
occur
as
far
as
relief
removal-
and
I
spoke
to
some
of
this
earlier
in
terms
of
the
bloomberg
innovation
cohort
and
everything
we're
still
moving
that
aspect
of
research
and
community
surveys
and
community
conversations
on
our
leaf
collection
efforts.
That's
moving
forward
we're
just
not
there
yet.
A
You
know
another
area
of
focus
is
going
to
be
on
alley
upgrades.
I
truly
feel
like
the
alleys,
are
an
unheralded
and
necessary
part
of
the
overall
transportation
network
and
that
they
contain
a
substantial
amount
of
underutilization
when
it
comes
to
mobility
options
for
all
users
of
the
transportation
network.
A
We've
talked
a
lot
about
the
funding
and
with
the
mbh,
with
the
overall
funding,
we're
hopeful
to
be
able
to
fund
through
the
mvh
funding
the
upgrade
of
the
field.
Reconnaissance
surveys
that's
recommended
for
every
three
years,
and
so
we're
hopeful
that
we'll
be
able
to
do
that
with
the
mvh
funding.
A
Overall,
the
street
department's
total
budget
request
is
7.97
million
or
a
decrease
of
four
percent,
and
this
also
one
key
thing
to
point
out
here-
and
I
know
controller
underwood,
mentioned
this
earlier,
so
if
all
of
the
budgetary
hits
with
motor
vehicle
highway
and
how
we're
trying
to
adjust
funding
sources
and
such
our
2021
budget
request
for
the
street
department
does
not
inc
include
any
major
capital
outlay
purchases,
as
we
would
hope.
You
know
we're
always
trying
to
meet
best
management
practices
on
vehicle
replacement
and
things.
A
B
B
N
A
N
A
We
are
working
diligently
with
dave
to
kid
and
the
innovation
cohort
to
work
through
that
over
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
We
I
I,
I
wouldn't
even
begin
to
lie
to
you
and
say
that
we
know
what
that's
going
to
look
like.
Yet
it
could
be
a
lot
of
different
things.
What
we
do
know
is
that
we're
looking
at
some
of
the
neighborhoods
on
the
east
side
that
have
significant
tree
canopy,
possibly
like
park
ridge
or
spicewood
that
have
specific
tree
varieties
as
well,
and
so
we're.
A
We're
not
quite
there
yet
to
say
exactly,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
is
you
know
some
of
the
things
that
we're
going
to
look
to
do
this
year
is,
you
know,
really
put
out
a
stronger
communication
effort
to
say
exactly
when
we're
going
to
be,
where
we're
going
to
be
whether
it's
yard
signs
or
you
know
we
do
an
interactive
map
every
year,
but
we're
going
to
try
some
things
we'll.
You
know
and
we'll
be
very
communicative
with
those
changes.
A
Yeah,
you
know
so
we're
we're
really
going
to
improve
our
our
upfront
communications,
but
we've,
you
know,
I'm
sure,
council
saw
we've
done
surveys
of
the
community.
Recently
we've
taken
that
feedback
and
reached
out
specifically
to
residents
that
were
willing
to
have
follow-up
conversations
with
us.
So
absolutely
you
know
it's
going
to
involve
communication.
It's
going
to
involve
a
lot
of
different
aspects
of
of
getting
information
out
in
a
timely
and
efficient
way.
N
Okay
and
just
a
friendly
request
on
that
too,
while
I
still
have
time
if
you
could
allow
a
little
extra
time,
I
think
there
was
like
a
really
quick
turnaround
time
on
one
of
the
leaf
surveys
and
I
was
able
to
share
it
with
constituents,
but
it
would
be
helpful
to
make
sure
we
have
lead
time
to
do
that.
So
thank.
F
Yes,
I
had
a
question
about
just
to
understand
how
we
work
with
traffic
signals
a
little
more.
I
I
gather
just
from
from
previous
conversations
mainly
with
mr
copper,
that
this
isn't.
We
have
some
sort
of
outdated
equipment
that
will
take
a
long
time
to
update
and
that
this
isn't
just
you
know,
simple
remote
fix
to
most
things
and
we've
been
speaking
specifically
about
pedestrian
recall.
F
That
should
be
in
effect
at
a
signal
at
college
and
and
and
11th,
but
isn't,
and
I'm
just
curious
to
like
get
a
better
sense
of
like
the
backlog
of
signal
updates
that
we
may
have
you
know
at
any
given
time
like,
I
imagine,
there's
just
sort
of
a
rolling
need
to
update
some
of
those
things
based
on
projects
and
whatnot.
So
what
does
that
look
like?
Is
it
systematized
in
any
way?
That's.
K
A
T
Sure
this
is
this
joe
van
diebner,
director
of
street
operations.
Can
you
hear
me
that
that's
part
of
what
we're
trying
to
purchase
here
in
the
fourth
quarter
is
to
tie
the
college
and
walnut
corridors
together?
We
have
an
aging
radio
system
right
now
that
allows
clocks
to
drift
this.
Would
this
would
allow
intersections
to
interact
with
each
other.
A
Yeah,
so
those
are
the
exact
types
of
investments,
we're
looking
to
make
on
the
corridors
and
and
then
and
take
it
out
further.
So
I
mean
ideally
council
member.
We
would
be
well
on
our
way
to
a
smart
cities
approach
to
all
these
things,
with
the
interconnectivity
and
and
the
outside
the
the
off-site
management
such
and
that's
really
where
we
want
to
head
with
it
so
use
technology
to
our
advantage.
Whenever
we
can.
G
T
F
Yeah,
that's
fair.
You
may
I'll
I'll
follow
up
just
briefly,
specifically
this
college
and
11th
intersection.
It's
not
in
pedestrian
recall
where
it
automatically
goes
to
a
pedestrian
signal
for
the
north-south
crossing.
Mr
copper
said
it
should
be,
but
you
know
it's
in
the
queue
to
be
updated
and
it's
been
that
way
for
a
little
bit.
So
I
just
wanted
to
ask
about
like
that
that
type
of,
like
I
imagine,
there's
a
backlog
of
work
or
something
so
I
was
just
hoping
to
understand
it
a
little
better
as
well.
T
F
O
A
In
a
very
blunt
way,
no,
not
really
you
know
it's,
I
think
you
know
we
could
put
a
lot
more
resources
to
trying
to
move
the
snow
to
the
middle
of
the
road
and
then
removing
it
via
truck
and
such.
But
you
know
it's
more
of
an
issue
for
monolithic
sidewalks
that
are
right
up
against
the
road
if
there's
a
tree
plot
that
it
tends
not
to
be
as
big
of
an
issue,
but
I
you
know
in
a
in
all
honesty
and
all
with
all
due
respect.
A
T
O
Well,
it
just
seems,
like
a
I
mean,
I
know
that
individual
property
owners
are
responsible
for
the
sidewalks
at
the
front
of
their
house,
but
I
mean
I
can
go
out
at
you
know
before
work
at
7am
and
go
clear
it
and
then,
when
I
get
home
it's
all
covered
because
the
snow
plow
has
been
by
again.
So
it's
it's
just
very
frustrating
and
it
seems
to
really
preference
clearing
the
way
for
motor
vehicles
versus
four
people.
F
Yes,
following
up
with
the
same
issue,
I
I
know
some
cities,
it's
pretty
uncommon,
but
some
cities
do
clear,
sidewalks
of
snow
and
ice
as
a
city
service
like
we
do
for
streets,
you
know
imagine
that
might
be
cost
prohibitive
in
in
bloomington.
At
this
time,
based
on
our
you
know,
willingness
to
spend
on
different
things.
Has
it
been
considered
at
all
to
look
at
the
particular
problem
areas,
primarily
monolithic
sidewalks,
perhaps
on
busier
streets
that
really
wind
up
taking
the
brunt
of
this
problem?
F
I
know
I've
seen
folks,
you
know
struggling
to
walk
down
south
walnuts
because
there's
you
know
in
the
winter,
which
is
just
really
really
dangerous,
and
some
folks,
you
know,
have
have
no
alternative
options
for
a
route.
So
just
could
we
mitigate
the
worst
of
this
with
with
you
know,
and
have
we
even
have
we
attempted
to
to
run
some
cost
figures
and
what
that
might
look
like
to
mitigate
the
worst
of
this
problem
that
customer
pima
smith
brought
up.
A
I
can't
say
that
we've
run
any
numbers
on
what
it
would
be
like
to
remove
snow
from
sidewalks
across
the
city
or
anything
like
that.
I
think
it
would
be.
I
think
it
would
be
cost
prohibitive.
You
know,
but
I
think
we
could.
You
know
on
some
of
those
higher
traffic
corridor
higher
pedestrian
traffic
corridor
areas.
Look
at
some
alternatives,
you're
right,
northbound,
walnut
there.
You
know
northbound
walnut
from
shoot.
I
can't
think
of
a
section
of
northbound
walnut
other
than
maybe
north
of
1st
street.
A
That
has
any
tree
plots
or
plantings
or
things,
so
it
is
monolithic
the
whole
way
you
know
with
with
those
major
corridors.
You
know
yes,
we're
trying
to
keep
them
as
clear
as
possible
throughout
the
snow
falls.
You
know,
I
think
the
majority
of
these
event.
These
issues
arise
when
the
snow
events
are
either
over
the
course
of
a
full
day
or
multiple
days.
You
know
when
folks
get
out,
they
get
it
cleaned
and
then
snow
keeps
coming
and
we're
still
doing
everything
we're
required
to
do
so.
A
A
You
know
we
do
have
clearing
responsibility
for
all
the
city's
side
paths,
but
you
know
it'd
be
interesting
to
learn
more
of
like
the
specific
areas.
You
know,
I
think
we
joe.
Can
we
pull
from
our
sidewalk
data?
I
think
we
can.
We
can
pull
every
location
of
monolithic,
can't
we
yes
yeah
yeah,
so
we
can
at
least
identify
all
those
areas.

I
Public
works
is
responsible
for
clearing
snow
and
vegetation
off
of
sidewalks,
as
well
as
maintaining
them
for
pavement
deterioration
on
the
sidewalk,
and
that
was
12
years
ago,
and
I
you
know,
the
the
new
transportation
plan
echoes
that
it.
It
says
it.
It
has
a
half
page
picture
just
showing
that
pedestrians
are
a
higher
priority
than
cyclists
and
buses
are
a
higher
priority
than
cars.
You
know,
I
kind
of
wonder
if
you
guys
even
read
these
things.
I
If
you
got
hood
winked
by
by
a
planning
staff
or
something
and
and
didn't
know,
you
were
endorsing
that
we
actually
should
consider
pedestrians
a
priority
above
cars.
But
you
know
this
is
just
such
a
perennial
problem.
It's
been
a
problem
for
20
years.
I've
been
walking
in
the
street
on
major
arterials
on
college
on
west
third
street
because
of
this
sort
of
problem,
and
it
you
know
we're
gonna
hear,
excuse,
excuse
excuse,
but
if
pedestrians
are
the
higher
priority,
we
can
just
simply
pave
or
plow
one
lane
of
walnut.
I
You
know
walnut
is,
is
two
lanes
northbound
on
south
walnut,
we'll
just
pay
plow
the
the
inner
lane
and
let
the
snow
go
into
the
outer
lane
and
then
not
plow
it
onto
the
sidewalk.
You
know
if
pedestrians
are
actually
a
priority
we
would
be
considering
stuff
like
that.
So
are
pedestrians
actually
a
priority?
That's
what
I'm
asking
you,
because
right
now
pedestrians
are
walking
in
the
street
and
it
is
mostly
poor
people.
It
is
mostly
people
without
money,
people
who
can
afford
a
car
drive.
I
I
was
talking
to
my
neighbor
when
we
had
a
snowfall.
He
said
I
he
works
a
quarter
mile
from
his
house.
He
said
he
drove
specifically
because
it
was
a
snowfall
because
they
had
plowed
all
the
snow
onto
the
sidewalks,
and
so
he
drove
in
the
snowfall.
That's
not
safe!
That
is
less
safe
than
him
walking,
but
he
couldn't
walk
because
we
didn't
do
crap
for
the
sidewalks
thanks
for
nothing.
H
B
Q
This
is
always
a
hard
part
for
me,
the
streets,
because
I
of
course
think
about
the
disparity
between
streets
and
sidewalks
and
bike
infrastructure,
and
I
mean
just
like
some
of
the
notes
I
wrote
down.
One
of
the
goals
is
to
maintain
and
repair
237
lane
miles
of
streets
and
then
repair
six
thousand
linear
feet
of
sidewalk.
So
that's
a
little
over
a
mile
of
the
sidewalk
being.
Q
It's
like
lanes,
it's
lanes
right,
it's
like
three
lanes
on
walnut
makes
up
right
right
and
I
mean
I
guess
I'm
just
like.
Can
you
imagine
if
we
switched
that
and
we
maintained
all
of
our
sidewalks
or
can
you
imagine
if
we
switched
it
and
homeowners
had
to
maintain
the
street
outside
of
their
house
instead
of
the
sidewalk?
Q
It
would
be
so
different,
but
I
mean
what
mr
alexander
said
is
right,
like
we
are
prioritizing
drivers
when
our
comp
plan
says
we
need
to
be
prioritizing
bicyclists
and
pedestrians,
and
I
just
think
we're
so
far
from
that.
I
don't
I
don't
know
what
to
do.
I
mean
it's
not
going
to
happen
in
a
city
budget,
it's
going
to
happen
with
tiff
dollars,
it's
going
to
happen
with
bonding,
but
we
have
to
talk
about
it.
I
mean
this
was.
Q
O
J
I've
been
trying
not
to
say
very
much,
but
I
can't
help
myself.
I
want
to
not
only
echo
what
my
colleagues
have
just
said.
I
want
to
say
why
I'm
going
to
vote
no
on
the
streets
budget
tonight,
because
this
is
the
new
sanitation.
At
least
annotation
come
up
to
standard
that
I'd
for
another
delay,
but
I
believe
the
numbers
said
change
the
next
year.
J
We
need
to
change
policy
on
streets.
We
need
to
stop
thinking
that
we
have
to
plow
every
lane
mile.
I
keep
looking
at
college
and
walnut
and
I
think
why
do
we
have
to
plow
every
lane?
We
don't?
We
don't
have
to
block
sidewalks.
We
don't
have
to
do
it.
We
can
identify
some
lane
miles
where
the
monolithic
sidewalks
dictate
that
we
shouldn't
pile
snow
over
them,
but
we
have
to
do
it
now.
