Here near hampton, if you would go ahead, let us know: what's going on.

A

Thank you, you're not doing reports from councilor did I miss that.

C

Sorry, no it's a special session. It's got a session great holiday. Sorry.

A

Sorry, sorry, sorry, thank you so much I'll jump in quickly. As you all know, we.

C

Reopened to the public city hall, just yesterday, I think we had a dozen or.

C

So visitors, the first day I haven't, heard the count. Today it's gone smoothly.

C

We kept people in the lobby, there are people, despite our encouragement to.

C

Continue to do all as much work as you can or contact as you can, by phone or by.

C

Web there are people coming in we're providing mass and from what I.

C

Understand it's gone smoothly and just wanted you to know that we continue to.

C

Course provide services, as we have throughout the whole thing through the.

C

City, continuity of city government is still active and they are monitoring.

C

Carefully all the conditions and protocols for all of our workforce, I'll.

C

Just remind you, we've had two employees who were infected positive diagnosis of.

C

Kovat that was many weeks ago and we've had none since then. We're very pleased.

C

With that, as our employees continue to take care.

C

And provide services 24/7, then we're very pleased that we haven't had any.

C

More confirmed cases you will expect this week, probably tomorrow the county.

C

Health officer, dr. sharp, to report the plans for the upcoming stage or phase if.

C

You will, you know our order locally extends through the 15th, so we look.

C

Forward to that, I continue to collaborate closely with them. We are not.

C

In synchrony, exactly with the state, but I think that's very appropriate. I think.

C

We're being very prudent, in fact, I'm encouraging that we continue to be.

C

Prudent moving forward, the health indicators are good.

C

I wanted to let the public know: you'll hear that from many sources, but the.

C

Hospitalization numbers and the incidence of disease by all those who.

C

Are being tested is, is quite low in our county.

C

Relative to the rest of the state, so that's all good. We have a new test site.

C

In in town and new tracing capacities, which are all important to do that, I, as.

C

Still concerned about the pace you can see, I did give a speech virtually last.

C

Week, if anybody wants to see the ten tough weeks just reminding us it's it's.

C

Been ten a little over ten weeks now, since the pandemic was declared, it.

C

Sometimes feels like ten months or longer, but I in that in those remarks.

C

Really thanked the community, so many people in the community, so many institutions that have helped make things go smoothly to avoid crisis in.

C

Our healthcare system to continue to tamp down the spread and our behavior is.

C

What drives the future behavior that will be allowed to do by the health.

C

Reality so I appreciate everybody doing that masking physical distance, if you're.

C

Home and sick feeling, sick, don't go to work and get tested. Those kinds of.

C

Things and if you want to look at that speech, that'll give you a lot more.

C

Detail than I'll do tonight, let me finish just by saying we're: gonna shift.

C

The course to the two work groups, which I often do again thanks to them, there.

C

Are wonderful commitments from around the community individuals extraordinary.

C

Efforts and accomplishments you'll hear about tonight. I want to express my.

C

Thanks to them, first you'll hear a short update from the economic stabilization.

C

And recovery group, with a focus on the arts and nonprofits that we've been.

C

Doing lately, you'll hear from director of the arts.

C

Sean starr wits from the esd department and then the bulk of our presentation.

C

About ten minutes, I hope tonight will be from the social services workgroup.

C

Coordinated with beverly calendar anderson and several really strong and.

C

Incredibly, committed philanthropic leaders who are going to talk about what.

C

They've done with the community together, we've done and also some recommendations.

C

Going forward so without further ado I'll hand it to them. Thank you for the.

C

Time and I think we'll all be available for questions at the close of this.

C

Report who's next alex crowley, I think, introduce sean yep. So thanks mayor.

D

Hamilton and thanks to the council for having us again to report out, I like to.

D

Start by just reiterating our ongoing to the economic stabilization recovery.

D

Group, especially to councilmembers cammalleri for her involvement. So what I.

D

Will just very briefly cover here is that you'll see on this slide. You've.

D

Received all this information, what we are doing is moving approved loans into.

D

The funded column so that the aggregate number has not changed week over week.

D

But but you'll see that shift happening and also I will be doing more.

D

Demographic breakouts bi-weekly rather than every week, because they don't.

D

Change that much so this is a more sort of direct focus on the funding side of.

D

Things I'd like to turn it over to sean star.

D

Whit's from esd to talk about the via the the bloomington arts, commission and.

D

Bue a grant work and really to help highlight the importance of the arts to.

D

Bloomington- and he can talk you through some of the details, so I'll turn it over sean right now. Yes, excuse me good evening. It's a pleasure to be here in.

E

Front of council again, and to give you guys this, give you all this update so.

E

Just you know, as I'm part of the esr working group, and there have been really.

E

Focused on you know, the coab in 19 impacts on the arts and culture sector.

E

So tonight's presentation is a mix representing you know: efforts by the bu.

E

Ea the bloomington area, taemin arts district- I was the bead and the.

E

Bloomington arts, commission, in early or late march, we did a significant survey.

E

Of the impact of cove in 19 on the arts community and it was broken down, we had.

E

About 192 respondents and it was kind of broken down in a couple different things.

E

At the independent contractor for profit and nonprofit- and this is just a few.

E

Snapshots of kind of the major impact of kovat 19, both in the short term and in a.

E

Long term, looking at the full 2020 calendar, if you look at cancellations.

E

And postponement to you know canceled workshops and this impacts both.

E

Individual artists, this impacts theater the same.

E

You know the venue's, all all the kind of creative sector that kind of gives the.

E

Cultural vitality and a cultural vibrancy that bloomington is known for.

E

You know 76% of nonprofits had to refund tickets, which is a huge blow on cash.

E

Reserves for a lot of these organizations- 50%, you know as they are.

E

All shifting to new business models, you know seeing a new online presence that.

E

Possibly means hiring of new people or restructuring their whole entire.

E

Programs, I know a few organizations known as you know, bloomington film and.

E

Theater academy have started to do online workshops so just like any.

E

Industry, the arts and culture industry has been significantly reshift in its.

E

Business model to be responsive, a pretty alarming number, though, in terms of the.

E

Nonprofit sector was the 88% reduction in staff. That's not any surprise, but is.

E

A huge loss of you know: employment in the community by our many arts and.

E

Cultural nonprofits and then this is just a national snapshot of kind of.

E

Where we, so, I wanted to start at the local level and kind of show where we.

E

Are nationally so this was provided by americans for the arts. This has been an.

E

Ongoing survey that we've been involved in, but nearly 5 billion dollars in.

E

Losses in the economic sector, 94% showed canceled events more than 33 percent.

E

That dis had to dip into their financial reserves. We were on that same level of.

E

Impact for our local nonprofits in terms of arts and culture and dipping into.

E

Their financial reserves, so it's it's pretty challenging. You know time for the.

E

Arts, especially because most of them will not be able to open tool phase 4.

E

Based off the state of indiana recommendations, which is well into july,.

E

So that's a long time to go. Dark and a lot of our arts and cultural spaces are.

E

Not feeling comfortable even beyond that and whether donors feel comfortable so.

E

What we were able to do through the bu ea and through the bloomington arts.

E

Commission is we restructured our grant program to be only operation.

E

Sport grants so we were able to combine. Thankfully thanks to mayor and you all.

E

Last year we were able to increase our arts grant program to $40,000 and we.

E

Matched that with the bloomington urban enterprise association to approximately.

E

Get out eighty thousand dollars in operational support grants.

E

So traditionally grant programs are project based, and this time we felt that.

E

That was not necessary, just because of we didn't know how long shelter home was.

E

Gonna, particularly, and in times of kind of uncertainty around public health, it's.

E

Not it's not professional for us to ask arts organizations to come up with.

E

Projects, even though they might be able to do that online and whatnot, so we were.

E

Able to based on the survey results, you know, feeling the kind of negative loss.

E

Of the connection to community, and then also you know the fact that a lot of.

E

These organizations have been building and working towards something and it kind of had the carpet pulled out from under them. We were able to give out.

E

$80,000, so this was a joint effort. We had members from the bva members from.

E

The bac a few members from the public that were on the review panel for us and.

E

These all of these organizations were based off of artistic quality impact to.

E

Cove it 19 on their organization. It was also weighted based off of operational.

E

Budget size so whether they had full-time employees, part-time employees.

E

One of the things that we were really concerned that, with from the bloomington.

E

Arts commission perspective is that too big to fail is really important, but also.

E

Too small to fail so those organizations that are volunteer based that might be a.

E

10,000 operational budget size but is very impactful in the community, is.

E

Really important, you know those those theater groups, those require chamber.

E

Groups, the variety of those organizations that provide a rich.

E

Tapestry of programming throughout the year we felt.

E

Also needed support, and so this is kind of just a snapshot overall spread who.

E

Received funding- and this is also a bet based off of organizations that support.

E

Other artists, like artisan alley you know, has about 20 artists, studios the.

E

Busker trembley is a huge impact and resource for artists all across the.

E

Community lotus, as well as rien the opera for kids stages, bloomington.

E

Which is fostering the next generation of theater, goers and theater performers.

E

So we are all pretty happy with overall spread of support that we have now and.

E

Based off of the work with the esr group working group is done. We also have an.

E

Additional hundred thousand that's allotted from the bloomington urban.

E

Enterprise association later this year to distribute for operational on project.

E

Support so right now we're able to get this money out now to help organizations.

E

Directly, now and then later, as we slowly start to reopen as spaces start to feel.

E

Comfortable or reservations start to help out we'll be able to support them.

E

So that's it on my presentation and I think I believe beverly calendar your.

E

Strength up next yeah: this is andrew from the mayor's office. I'm beverly just.

F

Texted me, our computer froze up so she's logging. Back in, as I speak, I I can. I can.

C

Do a quick introduction, as she gets back on, I'm not sure exactly what beverly was.

C

Gonna say, but I know she was gonna end off most of this to the leadership some.

C

Of whom are with us from the social services working group, which has done.

C

Really exceptional work, helping coordinate so much good work. That was.

C

Going on and they've assembled it together and coordinated. Thank you so.

C

Much for that- and I don't know who's taking it first to get tina john and.

C

Brought you all here right? Why don't we? Why don't you guys go ahead and beverly.

C

Can bat cleanup and as needed, but thank you so much for being here and all.

C

You've done. Thank you thanks. We really appreciate the opportunity to be here.

G

Tonight, it was just seems like yesterday, doesn't.

G

It mary hamilton that you reached out to a group of us myself from the community foundation tina peterson john merida.

G

From the bloomington health foundation, diane bozell from the iu health.

G

Foundation, a fraud sefferman from united way and dan smith from the iu.

G

Foundation- and he asked us really to work together collaboratively because we.

G

This is what we do right. We we support local, nonprofits and really fulfilling.

G

Their mission each and every day, but in this particular situation, how might we.

G

Work with our local nonprofits to gain an understanding of how we are going to.

G

Secure the safety net for our community during a time of crisis.

G

How are we going to make sure that it continues to hold, but also is pliable.

G

Enough to respond in a very rapidly evolving situation, so we were invited to.

G

Think about what are the resources and the supports, and potentially the funding.

G

That would be needed to support the broader community in addressing these.

G

Challenges that we are facing in the areas of shelter, food childcare for.

G

Essential workers and health and personal safety, and so over the course.

G

Of the last roughly eight weeks we have been convening groups of stakeholders.

G

Diverse groups of stakeholders in each of these areas trying to understand what.

G

Are the problems that we're facing? What are the challenges we need to address.

G

Where are gaps, what are the potential solutions and what are the strategies we.

G

Should be thinking about advancing as a community, I will tell you that our work.

G

Is not yet complete, but we do have. We have completed the process of really.

G

Working with each of our our groups of key organizations to understand where.

G

Are we today, what did we need to accomplish immediately? Many of those.

G

Things that have been taken care of and then what what's the future need to look.

G

Like if we're going to continue to weather the challenges ahead and and and.

G

To be prepared, should we have this kind of challenge ever again in the future.

G

And so we would like to just share with you one by one, some of the learnings.

G

That we've had by working with community stakeholders- and I.

G

We're gonna begin tonight with the fraud talking about shelter. Thank you tina and.

H

Yep, thank you for this opportunity to serve jim sims nice t-shirt and wanted.

H

To mention that I had, I had the opportunity to work with our shelter and.

H

Transitional housing providers, who really were on this in terms of seeing.

H

The concerns that they were gonna be facing because, if you think about a.

H

Shelter, environment. They are not set up for physical distancing and then the.

H

Concern was what happens if someone is showing symptoms of copan, 19 or anything.

H

Else really: where, where do you safely house someone- and I really want to.

H

Acknowledge in particular, forest gilmore from shalom and emily pike from new hope.

H

Dana jones from wheeler missions and deborah morrow from mythili house.

H

Because, as we were sort of getting organized, they were already kind of.

H

Starting to pull some things together with the help of city, you know.

H

Department heads as well as the county health department, and so really this.

H

This is back in march and and what's been accomplished. I think you're aware.

H

Of that you know the nice elation shelter was mobilized so that anyone.

H

Experiencing homelessness and showing symptoms could go isolate in a safe.

H

Supportive place, but then also out of the the work that this group did and.

H

Many others joined us in a couple of meetings. All you know, stakeholders in.

H

This space, the the next sort of recommendations that came out of there.

H

That and and that were implemented, were within each shelter or transitional.

H

Housing facility to distance people to reconfigure their space.

H

And and set up, you know, protocols for screening, set up hygiene, and you know.

H

Cleaning practices and all of that ham, I need for hand-washing stations and.

H

Porta-Potties and key locations was identified, especially as the day center.

H

At shalom, closed or limited its services, and these these have gone up in a couple.

H

Of places- and you know I think, while this is just anecdotal- there's only been.

H

One reported case among our shelter guests in our area we have 380 people.

H

That we we count as homeless in our community and about 320 that utilize, our.

H

Shelters, and so you know to have knock on wood, mitigated anything you know.

H

Further widespread I like to think can be attributed to this early. You know.

H

Proactive approach by our community, so the the recovery site, the isolation site.

H

Which now has been a beneficiary of some increased state funding, the united way.

H

Had given 70,000 initially to launch that, but then the state came in.

H

I'm sure beverly can provide additional details, but it's still in operation has.

H

Only seen the one guest who's positive, but has averaged about one guest a week.

H

And so now, they're in the process of scaling it back to save a little money.

H

On the hotel, rental, no need for an entire hotel, but we wanted to be.

H

Prepared and were so appreciate, you know the your investment of both dollars and.

H

And time, and and coordination and and support from different department heads.

H

And chief moore was really involved and continues to be, and that really has just.

H

Been stellar and taking all of this on and and of course,.

H

Hamilton and council appreciate all of all of your leadership promise I'll pass.

H

It on to john thanks in frot and good evening, mayor hamilton, council members.

I

And guests, thanks for the opportunity to be here, john berta president, ceo of the.

I

Bloomington health foundation, we again we're honored to be part of this group.

I

We roll our sleeves up aside with our friends and got to work pretty quickly.

I

Bhf, we really don't in to the food emergency system and understanding a.

I

Community's reliance on emergency food systems is, needless to say, complicated.

I

Under normal circumstance, let alone in the face of the cova 19 pandemic,.

I

Our community's emergency food system relies on many different local.

I

Organizations that actively coordinate a complex mix of state and federal.

I

Assistance programs, school children, food assistance, programs, a regional network.

I

Of food banks, local food, pantries, volunteer delivery systems, community.

I

Food and financial donations and on and on and largely that work is done in.

I

Harmony and broadly speaking, the sector has successfully reduced food insecurity.

I

In our community it would be remiss to not say that under girding that system.

I

Is a team of highly motivated nonprofit leaders like julie alonso at the hoosier.

I

Hills: food bank, like a man to nikki, hit mother hubbard's cupboard like cindy.

I

Chavez at pinch we 279 like vicki pierce at the community kitchen and those.

I

People really their commitment and passion to their organization missions.

I

Is really nothing short of inspirational and their ability to adapt, innovate.

I

Problem-Solve and to simply get the job done, should not be underestimated and.

I

I'll go through some of the recommendations that we made some of the.

I

Assessment but we conducted probably over 25 of interviews with private.

I

Sector folks, like jeff nice at one world enterprise to hattie.

I

Johnson at mccs seafood services to vicki coffee at our bebe food services.

I

To our nonprofit leaders, in addition to many many others, and while some of the.

I

Identified barriers that we identify in our whitepaper are easily remedied and.

I

Others will require a sustained community commitment. There were three.

I

Really pressing concerns that we felt needed to be prioritized and addressed.

I

By a well resourced, well resourced, coordinated, community-wide effort, the.

I

First, priority was fundamentally and.

I

I was sharing these with my wife not too long ago and she just kind of said well.

I

Those seemed pretty obvious, john, so a lot of work to get at some.

I

Really fundamental recommendations, but number one is we have to ensure that our.

I

Hoosier hills: food bank, our region's only food bank, maintains the flexibility.

I

To purchase food and we've been able to do that with the partnership through the.

I

United way and a lily endowment funds and other resources to really make sure.

I

That our hoosier hills food bank, which provides so much of the food to our.

I

Pantries and our other retail distribution points really maintains the.

I

Flexibility to acquire what is called purchased food and we've been able to.

I

Successfully do that in partnership with the hoosier hills, food bank really.

I

Through fall, we've been monitoring, supply and demand, and we get weekly.

I

Updates and there were some tense moments there have to be honest. There.

I

Were some really tense moments, as demand was increasing and there was a lot of.

I

Concern around supply chain and orders being cancelled and not being able to.

I

Fulfill the orders in the time that we would normally expect we feel good right.

I

Now but we are maintaining a line of sight and I'll touch on that in just a.

I

Second, so number one ensure our food bank maintains the flexibility to.

I

Purchase food: the second recommendation is to really make sure that our area's.

I

Leading food, pantries, school feeding, programs, kitchens and delivery services.

I

Simply remain open and operational, we talk about essential workers if there.

I

Ever was a definition of essential worker. I like to nominate the staffs of.

I

Mother hubbard's cupboard in pantry 279 and a hoosier health food bank who were.

I

Working and really stressed ecosystems with the reduction of volunteers.

I

Oftentimes on really skeleton crews, adhering to new models of operation.

I

Adhering to new protocols with personal safety equipment and again there were.

I

Some moments of pretty intense of stress for our pantries in making sure that.

I

They just the simple capacity to stay open if.

I

Our food bank is supplying food, but there's no one there to distribute it to.

I

The literally lines of cars that are lining up and continue to line up at our.

I

Food pantries then well, we haven't really got much of a distribution system.

I

And so we've been able to do that again with the support of the united way and.

I

The lilly endowment funding that's been able to be directed to make sure that.

I

Our pantries stay open and operational that they were supplied with the.

I

Appropriate ppe that they needed- and I know some of our pantries now- are.

I

Operating with some paid staff for the very first time in their organization's.

I

History, which is a great asset for our community, the third recommendation from.

I

The food sub group was really around initiating an aggressive community-wide.

I

Campaign to enroll those who qualify but are not yet registered for the.

I

Supplemental nutrition assistance program or snap or food stamps for those.

I

That might not be familiar with the term snap, and so, while we are very sober.

I

About the ability of snap to provide a hundred percent of a family's food needs.

I

It is a very critical piece of their food security puzzle and so we've been.

I

Partnering at the health foundation over the last several weeks with lucy shake.

I

From the bloomington volunteer network, with the city of bloomington, with amy.

I

O'brien with the covering kids and families team at scap, the south-central.

I

Area agency action agency program and with all of our food distributors to.

I

Develop materials both in english and in spanish, and to do flyers and outreach at.

I

These points of distribution to engage and encourage people to call amy o'brien.

I

Who's a trained navigator, both in healthy indiana plan, 2.0 and snap.

I

Benefits to really make sure that those who qualify are able to sign up for snap.

I

Benefits the more people we can have being.

I

Eligible and accessing snap benefits will reduce the pressure on the.

I

Emergency food system in our community we're very proud of the work I've just.

I

Hearing anecdotally from amy that she's already been getting phone calls from.

I

People who are looking for individual navigation to help with what can be.

I

Sometimes, in a little bit of an overwhelming, intimidating application.

I

Process so the idea that we have real human beings who are standing by if you.

I

Will to take the phone call of those who need help getting enrolled is a real.

I

Testament to our community moving forward. We also have convened our.

I

Food security council and now we do have an ongoing group who meets with the food.

I

Collaborative and we're meeting every week and we're sharing information we're.

I

Tracking supply we're tracking demand, so we can literally start to create a trend.

I

Line so that we do not want to be caught proverbial, proverbially with you know,.

I

Unawares that you know our food bank or our food pantry are on the knife's edge.

I

Of either closing or running out of food, so we now have a system in place to be.

I

Able to track that supply relative to demand and the group is really.

I

Functioning well, and we continue to look for ways to collaborate and share.

I

Resources so again, hats off to all of really the frontline folks who do the.

I

Hard work every day and from the bloomington health foundation's.

I

Perspective we've been really humbled and honored to be a small part and.

I

Helping bring that group together and help them operate with a little bit more.

I

Efficiency, knowing that their focus has been really on the day-to-day operations.

I

Of their work from there, I'd like to pass it on to the third area, child care.

I

For essential workers, which has been headlined by tina peterson and the.

I

Community foundation, deena.

G

There we go, I said, thank you john. It was a natural progression for the community.

G

Foundation to focus on child care for a central workers, as many of you know, the.

G

Community foundation has been supporting a program called monroe. Smart start for.

G

Many many years really focusing on ensuring we have access to quality early.

G

Learning for children and the funding to support families to create those.

G

Opportunities for children in this particular instance, we are trying to.

G

Respond rapidly to the need for those essential workers, so health care workers.

G

Those in the medical space, including catalans and cooke and others baxter.

G

That needed to continue production of medical products, firefighters first.

G

Responders of all types, those working in pharmacies and grocery stores, and so.

G

Really trying to determine how we are going to provide care for those.

G

Essential workers, while understanding the constraints that safety required at.

G

This point in time we did some very initial survey work to determine what.

G

Our needs were for child care and we very rapidly began trying to find the.

G

The space and the facilities and the providers to serve about 250 children.

G

And I cannot say enough about two entities: the boys and girls club and.

G

Parks and rec parks and rec, paula, mcdevitt and and becky really stepping.

G

Up and developing what I think was a was a an innovative approach to serving.

G

Children using a pod approach right no more than eight to ten children in a pod.

G

And all the many steps that require in order to keep children and workers safe.

G

In a childcare setting and what exacerbated this challenge was that we.

G

Generally in march april, and may do not need to provide care day in and day out,.

G

To children who ages six to twelve, so the closing of school.

G

Created a challenge that we really never had had to address before in the numbers.

G

That we needed to at this point in time and so some solutions were identified. We.

G

Had a real challenge finding work for us, we did a call-out, we had a huge response.

G

From the community of people that were willing to come and work and childcare.

G

Settings we rolled them out, announced them and I think just symptomatic of the.

G

Ambiguity that we're all feeling about the current environment, we just did not.

G

Have many families that felt comfortable to take advantage of the opportunity.

G

Either they they had already found a solution to their problem. They were.

G

Fearful about their children being in any sort of group with others, or they.

G

Quite honestly, just could not they could not afford what it costs to have that.

G

Type of intense care for kids, that's really expensive model to deploy, and so.

G

We began really working one-on-one with families trying to help them find the.

G

Support they needed if it was money to to find even in-home care if they were.

G

Just not comfortable putting their children in childcare settings, it was a.

G

Huge learning experience about how the we'd done a survey these families had.

G

Told us they needed the care, but yet when push came to shove, they really did.

G

Not feel comfortable with their children being in a childcare setting. We.

G

Continued now that group continues to meet. We are looking at now. What happens.

G

As employers are going or reopening adding people back into their places of.

G

Work and how we're going to be prepared for that. I can tell you: it continues to.

G

Be a huge challenge number one. We do not know how many people are actually going.

G

Back to work, we is very you know, many employers are calling people back slowly.

G

And only those that are essential to be in their buildings are it's very hard.

G

For a childcare site to incur the expense to reopen if they.

G

Are do that they do not have some guarantee about how many people they.

G

Will be able to serve these are organizations that run on very lean.

G

Revenue models, and so it's been it's, I think, we've all been surprised at the.

G

Challenge that we've faced in a very ambiguous situation, I can tell you right.

G

Now the focus is really on summer camps: they're not going to be many of our.

G

Summer camps, you know in march, we put out the big flyer that says these are.

G

All the places your children can go this summer, only a very small number of them.

G

Are reopening the summer, in fact, at the moment it looks like six who will be.

G

Able to serve four or five hundred children, an incredibly small number when.

G

You think about the number of families that need to work right now and have to.

G

Care for their children- it just is not feasible for many of these folks to open.

G

Some of that relates to the school system. They provide adventure camps in.

G

The summer, yet they have not been given approval by the state to reopen their.

G

Buildings, so that is not going to happen before july. First, at that point in time,.

G

Many families will have had to find other solutions for addressing their.

G

Childcare needs for the summer. The group is looking at how we are going to.

G

Address what may be unique structures for school in the fall or august when.

G

School may begin, as many of you know, the school is looking at a reentry plan and.

G

It has, they have seven different potential options: they're exploring on.

G

What that would look like many of those do not include all the children being in.

G

The building all the time so once again, we may be a full employment status, but.

G

Not have a not have full-time capacity for many children, and so we're now.

G

Trying to look ahead very hard to do without knowing exactly what the.

G

Situation will be for our public school systems in the county, in the coming in.

G

The coming school year, and so I will tell you that there are.

G

That we currently are seeing some of our childcare facilities begin to close new.

G

Currently, in the state of indiana 1600 1600 early care, birth to five sites have.

G

Closed in our community, we've lost two centers and two family childhood homes.

G

Permanently many of them not sure that they're going to be able to open in the.

G

Long term, right now we have 13 high quality sites.

G

Operating six more they're going to open in june- and this is for early care that.

G

Is just a fraction of the number of sites that we generally see providing.

G

Early care there has been some state assistance to support early care.

G

Providers and child care providers, certainly both the office of early child.

G

Care and out of school learning has provided some funding to compensate.

G

Early care and other providers for the loss of families during this period of.

G

Time but that's can discontinue 'next week in early learning. Indiana is.

G

Putting some funding out there fifteen point seven million to support. What's.

G

Called come back stronger, so expense to cover expenses for safely operating in.

G

This new environment, but I think that the challengers are going to continue to.

G

Be severe, there is some potential legislation right. The cares act is.

G

Looking at providing some funding for child care, there's an advocacy effort by.

G

The united way worldwide at the moment to try to increase the amount of that.

G

Funding 250 billion from the seven that's currently in that it would be.

G

Supposedly distributed per capita, and so our community, for instance, if they put.

G

50 billion into that that bill, then it would monroe county, would see 2.2.

G

Million dollars for support of child care, so I wish I could tell you that we.

G

Had a lot of solutions right now for child care, we don't it's an evolving.

G

Situation that I think we continue to meet weekly and in to determine how we.

G

Are going to address a problem that doesn't have perfect solutions right now,.

G

And then I'll just transition quickly. The the fourth and final group is the.

G

One that we that we just finished working with most recently- and that is.

G

Health and personal safety and a fraud john and I shared the responsibility for.

G

Convening a large cross sector of folks in the areas of personal health, public.

G

Health, mental health addiction, recovery, domestic violence and serving those with.

G

Disabilities or other issues of personal safety, as you can imagine, this was a.

G

Group, that's facing a great deal of challenge because the demand for their.

G

Services are growing so significantly during this time, I'll just as an.

G

Overarching message you know there were many tactical solutions that were.

G

Identified in each of these areas and a great deal of collaborative spirit.

G

Getting this these groups of folks together, but the number one challenge.

G

That we identified for this for health and personal safety had to do with.

G

Community infrastructure and feeling that we really lacked some of the.

G

Infrastructure that would help us serve our these populations of folks, anytime.

G

But especially during a time of crisis and, for example, just really quickly, I.

G

Will mention two things that getting the word out right? Just the idea of.

G

Messaging about some of the critical issues around mental health and.

G

Addictions and recovery and substance misuse we just don't have countywide.

G

Vehicles really to get that information out in a really systematic way without.

G

Having television stations having limited print, we we found that we really.

G

Need to develop a strategy as a community for advancing messaging in a.

G

Collaborative and cohesive way, the second one was around policy and.

G

Advocacy and in our work we identified a number of areas where that advocacy is.

G

Going to be needed, the at the state and the federal level.

G

And how might we develop a more aligned strategy among all of our organizations.

G

For advancing what are critical issues for our particular community, two.

G

Examples of really infrastructure, that's lacking, as we address some of the larger.

G

Issues in this area and then finally, you can't talk about infrastructure without.

G

Talking about broadband, and while I think we all knew that broadband was a.

G

Significant challenge in in in education, right now and in people that need to.

G

Work for people that need to work from home. It is a huge challenge for those.

G

Serving people in the space of health and personal safety, you know if you.

G

Cannot access services if you cannot access if you cannot reach out to your.

G

Clients, if you cannot apply for support it.

G

Becomes just a huge equity issue for families and so finding a way to.

G

Collaborate lee come together, city, county and anything in between and.

G

Beyond to think about how we ensure that we have broadband internet cell phone.

G

Connectivity for especially families in need is critical at this point in time.

G

And so one of our recommendations will be that we create a countywide.

G

Collaboration around dressing, our broadband challenges, a fraud.

H

I hate john, I think, he's gonna, take it away and wrap it up yep. Thank you. Thank.

I

You a fraud so just finally, in summary, some other good recommendations there in.

I

That report that we could share with you, I mean planning we just want to let you.

I

Know that we we have some additional work to do we're going to be discussing.

I

Next steps and how we can make some recommendations and how do we really.

I

Treat the continuity moving forward to really take the lessons that we've.

I

Learned over the last couple of months and create some infrastructure to be.

I

Able to better position community moving forward, so thank you so much for the.

I

Opportunity to be here tonight yeah, I just wanted to take a minute just to.

J

Thank john and affright tina dan smith and diane bozell. They have.

J

Been really a pleasure to work with, and they they talk about being humbled by.

J

This work, but they are inspiring as a team to work with, and so I really.

J

Appreciate them and want to thank them for everything they put into this and.

J

Then I'll turn this back over to mayor hamilton. Thank you. Thank you. So much. I'm.

C

Gonna be seconds we are so fortunate to have leaders like those you saw. They.

C

Know so much they're working so hard collaborating together and we know our.

C

Array of humor a could be filled with scores of the frontline heroes that they.

C

Described and they're kind of here in their stead, they helped us be prepared.

C

They helped us be big challenges and they're collaborating in new ways. The.

C

Group, you heard tonight and those they represent collaborate and it's ready.

C

Recommend how we can be ready. I can't thank you enough, so thank you for giving.

C

Us the time to do that, we'll open it up for questions. Thank you, mr. mayor to.

A

Everyone who was here and presented, we are indeed very lucky to have so many.

A

Capable people leading our community at this difficult time. I want to give my.

A

Colleagues, a chance to ask questions, I see a counselor morello with his hand.

A

Mr. eller go ahead and then mr. simms, thank you thanks for that presentation.

K

And all your good work, I wondered if someone could speak to the topic on the.

K

Topic of food security if, as we've seen, an increase in unemployment in the.

K

Community, how has that been reflected and demand for food is? It is consume and.

K

Offer a number as it has it, I imagine it's increased, but do we have an idea.

K

Thumbnail to what extent yeah we do, this is john here I can give you some numbers.

I

Here, like I can tell you that, specifically from the hoosier helps food.

I

Bank, as of may late april may julia will answer the executive director of hoosier.

I

Hills food bank have reported that they had they had distributed more food in.

I

The first five months of 2020 than they did in all of 2019 and thousand and 19.

I

Was a record year so these are april numbers april. 2020 was the largest.

I

Distribution month jarrell's food banks 38 year, history.

I

Over five hundred and ninety thousand pounds of food were livered, he had also.

I

Reported that he had ordered over almost nine hundred thousand pounds of food at.

I

A cost of six hundred thirty eight thousand dollars. So that's the latest.

I

Information, I have for you and just isolated with the who's your health food.

I

Bank, but just through the first four or five months of this year, it had outpaced.

I

2019, which, in and of itself was a record year wow, that's significant. I wonder it.

K

Is a follow up? If I could just john, if you could you met you mentioned in your.

K

Presentation that there were challenges, but I assume that they didn't come up.

K

Short and food that they were able to meet that demand, isn't my understanding.

K

Yeah, no, there was never a moment. I think there were some moments because.

I

Of pipeline issue, the supply issue was being stressed and we can all remember.

I

There being reports of you know: farmers, dumping milk and some real kinks in the.

I

Supply chain, as the suppliers really had to rethink about distributing their food.

I

To schools and restaurants and to shift the pipeline to different distribution.

I

Nodes, so we never got to that point where we were in danger, if you will, but.

I

There were some some tense moments relative to making sure we were ordering.

I

Promptly and enough in time so that we created enough lag time, if you will so.

I

That the supply chain could catch up and but thanks to the quick frankly, the.

I

Quick actions of so many people, including the funding that we were able.

I

To to get them through, the united way's emergency response fund that so many.

I

People were contributed to. We were able to really be on the front end of that.

I

And make sure that they were ordering food. You know 60 90 days, 120 days out in.

I

Advance which, which really created a sense of calm for the folks on the front.

I

Line, if I may just add, um we are in a marathon and we're not out of it yet.

C

You've heard great reports about 2 to 3 months of work, but we have stuff coming.

C

At us still for the next months and a long time ahead, and one of the things that we'll share is also some recommendations for some longer-term.

C

Things we won't be back tonight, but but I think that's a really important.

C

Reminder we have challenges ahead of us too. Yes, thank you.

K

Thank you, councillor, rallo united way, glad councilmember jim sims.

A

You're, muted, you're, muted, timed unmute.

L

Thank you. Thank you very. Very much, probably woulda been better for no one.

L

To hear, no, I really wanted to say is: I was gonna, bring up some questions about.

L

Broadband, but I think miss peterson, really cleared or made that clear on the.

L

Challenges that we have in that as part of our infrastructure and something that.

L

We really need to work on going into the future very, very important, but I also.

L

Like to give a shout out to the hoosier hills, food bank- let I am under the.

L

Leadership of mr. alonso one of the things with the food supply chain and.

L

And there's this this big system, but in many cases it worked his way through.

L

Much smaller food pantries, such as like to smaller pantries we have at second.

L

Baptist and at salvation army, along with the food supply and the food.

L

Insecurities but one of the things a food bank has been instrumental with and.

L

I'm not so sure many people know this they've been helpful when providing.

L

Masks sanitizer even some infrared thermometers so that our employees at.

L

Our particular church in these areas can better protect themselves and the public.

L

And still meet that food supply need. So I just want to say that my question is.

L

This there was discussion about hand-washing stations and porta-potties.

L

I'd like to know how many has been installed and do we have locations have.

L

These best strategic ly placed from a safety standpoint. I think um I can speak.

I

I don't know who should get that, I'm sorry yeah I mean I probably all of us. I.

I

Can speak from some of the grants that have come through the united way and the.

I

Bloomington health foundation relative to a wheeler mission and shalom center.

I

You know we worked very closely with the monroe county health department as they.

I

Were literally moment by moment asking for requests and things were a.

I

Little frenetic there at the start of this and we're deploying.

I

As a group, we were deploying grants very rapidly.

I

I can, I can think of specifically shalom center and wheeler mission, where we.

I

Deployed hand-washing stations and even tents with the partnership with master.

I

Rental and darrin lavin who's great great guy and gave us you know really.

I

Did a great job and we were able to help this wheeler mission facilitate the.

I

Social distancing needs that they have that they needed to have so they were.

I

Too tight to be able to really have that 60 we were able to set up some temporary.

I

Shelter, if you will some tents space that allow them to spread out up, I would.

I

Also add that dana jones, you know in a in a grant report to the foundation.

I

Noted that not only had they not had and I'll knock on wood had not had any.

I

Positive cases at the wheeler mission, but he just talking general the overall.

I

Increased health of the people in the shelter because of the increased.

I

Hand-Washing, so fewer sniffles, fewer cold, their kind of illness is kind of circulating around the shelter there may.

I

Be some others that I'm not familiar with a fraud or tina. You may have some other idea around hand-washing stations, but those are two critical ones and I.

I

Know them more recently, some were clipped up by new me. A few life.

H

Porta-Potties and hand-washing stations, given the friend's place, I'm sorry given.

H

That the shallow center would otherwise be there, but it's not in full operation.

H

Okay, thank you. Thank you. That's member simms counts member peep on smith, yeah.

M

If I may just follow up on that and then I have a separate question so first of.

M

All thank you all for your. Your wonderful dedication and leadership in.

M

This area, so the hand-washing stations set up by new leaf new life. Do you know.

M

Where those are I beverly, do you know the answer to that? I only processed the.

H

Paperwork for funding and can't say that I have been by to see them. I actually.

J

Believe they're near the new leaf new life offices, but I couldn't. I can't tell.

J

You that for sure, but that's my impression of where they are okay,.

M

Thank you and then I had a question going back to.

M

Food security, the I know that mother hubbard's cupboard was struggling with.

M

Some traffic issues on west allen, street and part of that was because the city.

M

Was doing work on the street, but part of it was just the sheer volume of people.

M

Who were coming to get food and the fact that they moved to a drive-up system for.

M

You know just pick up: does anybody have an update on that traffic situation.

M

Whether that's been improved yeah. Thank you. The question yeah that was that was.

I

A real tense challenge for the team, as they were, pivoting to new distribution.

I

Models and the lines of cars and the traffic and the construction project.

I

There, I think, just added to some what's already kind of a tricky spot. They.

I

Operate out of the late, the latest report that I have is that there were.

I

Some that the construction team was working, that site was providing on-site.

I

Traffic control and then they've been able to kind of find some workaround. So.

I

My understanding as of last friday was that that issue had been resolved and.

I

They had figured out a way to mitigate manage that traffic issue further.

A

Questions for the presenters members campbell laurie has an alternate mr.

N

Crowley are you available, I'm available. I think shawn may still be here too. Oh.

D

Okay, I just didn't see him well who's. Ever. Oh.

N

And there you are thank you for the update on the arts too.

N

And for the tens of thousands of dollars in grant that had to do a pretty.

N

Formidable process, I was just wondering if you have any problem any plans for.

N

Capturing story about the impact of those grants from the way back in.

E

There, yes, yes, there's a final report form that they all have to fill out so.

E

We're tracking loss of employment. So, if they're cutting staff in the future into.

E

2020 and 2021, so it's a it's a longer grant period, but we're tracking all of.

E

That, and one of the things that we did, that was unique to this application was.

E

Actually trying to consider resource sharing among organizations, we really.

E

Wanted to try to maximize or maximize that impact in the community. So what.

E

We've done is actually tracked responses and we're working with those grant.

E

Recipients to thinking about resource sharing of online, if they're moving to.

E

More digital presence or if they need more of a marketing coordinator or those.

E

Kinds of things so that they can actually work together and pull their.

E

Resources that we're providing them so we'll be tracking as much as we can in.

E

This kind of unique time and we'll be happy to report back some of those.

E

Findings as well great, I'm not suggesting anything to ownerís.

N

During these strange times, but just stories to tell would be great and just.

N

Beyond that, bravo to all of you, I am grateful every day I live in the city.

N

And I think a lot of you are among the heroes that we thank you, customers.

A

Campbell larry are there any other questions for the presenters? We will be.

A

Continuing to hear from the mayor and city offices on the response to the.

A

Pennock in the weeks to come, I am glad that we scheduled this meeting today is.

A

That we could take this input from the mayor and and everyone who is helping.

A

With the response, so thank you again to the questioner and all the city staff.

A

And the council council, they miss a question.

L

Yeah councilmember flaherty, m7 or flaherty. Oh sorry, I didn't see you and.

A

Said the head was obscured by some icons: go ahead, my hand shot up right when you.

O

Asked or like final final question period. Thank you all so much for both.

O

Working groups for your service in your report and.

O

Hard work, it was really great to get a more in-depth report on both the arts.

O

And social services needs tonight and I wanted to follow up.

O

Briefly about childcare, specifically, I understand that the immediate task of.

O

The working group and and that subgroup was to reveai, identify how to meet.

O

Childcare needs for essential workers, but- and I don't think the white paper.

O

That was shared with us a few weeks ago already touched to this next issue, which.

O

Is I think it was hinted that tonight, though, that there may be emerging kind.

O

Of capacity gaps in the community at large, not just for essential workers, but.

O

In childcare, more broadly, due to kind of the fallout of cova, 19 stress and the.

O

Inability for organizations to stay afloat, so maybe there are more.

O

Recommendations forthcoming related to that, but if tina or someone else could.

O

Speak a little bit too. To that challenge, and and if this group is going to be.

O

Having recommendations specific to that challenge going forward, I would.

O

Appreciate it yeah, thank you. You know we are trying to continually gauge how we.

G

Can suppose these organizations- and you know we do have we do have protocols in.

G

Place to surprise provide training supports to them. You know, I think long.

G

Term we may have to look at some. We may have to look at some more efficiencies.

G

Just in how we deliver some of these, especially early learning and thinking.

G

About shared eyes, you know shared services models where we might be able.

G

To provide more support for early learning, you know I can't help but think.

G

That we are gonna need to think a little bit about whether or not we are gonna.

G

See a greater demand for some sort of financial support for families know.

G

We're fortunate to have been on my way: pre-k fam community. We have a lot of.

G

Providers that that offer that accept ccds, but yet you know, I think that as a.

G

Model we're finding how fragile childcare is, just because it's.

G

As I said before, it just doesn't have very distinct margins to support any.

G

Types of fluctuation- and so you know we have like 84 child care homes in this.

G

Community that provide exceptional care to children and families and then some.

G

Of those are gonna, find it very difficult to return. So so yes, we will.

G

Come back with more thoughts on how we can support them, it's once again, as I.

G

Mentioned earlier, it's just this issue of of how long can they sustain.

G

Themselves, there's been support to help sustain to sustain them. It's expensive.

G

To come back in this model, especially if you're limited, you have to have more.

G

Staff, because you're limited by the number of kids, you can serve in a.

G

Classroom and understanding how long those constraints might last.

G

We've been tried trying to provide them with the ppe and some of the resources.

G

That they need, you know that just create additional financial challenges for them.

G

But they are small businesses and some of them have have gained some support.

G

Through local and state programs, but you know, I think we need to number one just.

G

Be very attuned and alert and watching what the challenges are, as they evolve.

G

For childcare, because you're right, if this is not going to be just about.

G

Essential workers very quickly: it's not going to be just about essential workers.

G

And so there's a long way of saying we have a lot of work ahead of us that we.

G

Need to be very thoughtful about how we're gonna support childcare. We we are.

G

A community that has been very supportive of childcare and and has.

G

Excelled really in providing high quality care compared to other.

G

Communities of our size, but that we that's not be gonna, be something we can.

G

Stand on at the moment when we're seeing the deep need to address some of these.

G

Challenges. Thank you mr. mayor president. I'll just close, I really appreciate all.

C

The time you've given us, these are obviously key issues again. We are so.

C

Fortunate to have the talent and the commitment that we see evidence tonight.

C

Inside city government and around our community from these leaders, thank you.

C

For giving us this time, they do remind us we're gonna, we're gonna, hear from needs. They're gonna make recommendations about.

C

Challenges that we've learned about through this crisis, as we move forward.

C

In our and I appreciate their attention to that too, which will probably come.

C

Back to us thanks thanks so much for the time, thanks again and again, thanks.

A

Everyone, let's move now to appointments, are there any appointments to be made.

A

Tonight a cast member flaherty. Yes, on behalf of interview committee b, I.

O

Would like to recommend kiara bangor jrgo for appointment into the traffic.

O

Commission waive a motion, a second any discussion, if not all in favor,.

A

Well, actually, we have to take a since we're on zoom', which must be a roll call vote. Madam clerk, will you please call the roll councilmember scam? Blurry? Yes, rosenberger, yes, sims! Yes,.

B

Boland, yes, peter monson, it councilmember piedmont, smith. You are muted, yes,.

B

Flaherty, yes, smith, yes, sandburg, yes and roll. Oh.

B

Yes, thank you to be at nine decided I wanna. We did jump into soon all right.

A

She is, she is not she's named to the chapter commission, any other.

P

Yes, go ahead, that's what people in smith! I move that the council authorize.

M

Council members, rowland and simms to enter into negotiations to hire stephen.

M

Lucas, as the council administrator / attorney effective no earlier than.

M

August 1st 2020 and report back to the council by the regular session on june.

M

3Rd 2020, I think we have a motion in a second. Is there any discussion on the.

A

A

And wouldn't have any questions councillor bertie botts men did the.

M

Administration committee want to make any brief report. Yes. Well as the chair.

A

Of it we met a couple of times in march and then last friday I was joined by.

A

Councilmember sims and scambler e, as I said then, when I polled individual.

A

Members of the council to a person when I asked them what their preference was.

A

For the process to to find a new attorney administrator to replace dan.

A

Sherman, who was retiring at the end of july, although he can't truly be replaced.

A

I must say the unanimous response was, I don't understand why we wouldn't hire.

A

Stephen lucas and while that may have been the case, I also didn't want to.

A

Presume that we should simply, I mean that I should take unilateral action to.

A

A point in, but that's this is something that must must be made by the full.

A

Council so but the committee voted unanimously to forward his nomination to.

A

The full council and if the council sees fit that's all we discussed on friday.

A

If the council sees fit comes to sims, and I will discuss with him details of.

A

The position over the next week- and hopefully we will be able to come to an.

A

Agreement and have a successor. So if there's any questions, I'm happy to.

A

A

Seeing no questions, that's a repeat line smith.

A

I just just for the benefit of the audience, our public, and we are now on.

M

May 27 and the motion of course referred to august first. So can you just explain.

M

Why we're giving ourselves two months? Yes, yes! Well! Mr. sherman has submitted.

A

His resignation or his retirement rather letter a couple of weeks ago, and we know.

A

His final day will be july 31st. If, because mr. lucas seems to be the.

A

Candidate that majority of counsel prefers, if he, if we decide to make him.

A

The eternity administrator there will become a vacancy and we would like to.

A

Stay fully staffed and not have a gap in in service. So if we were to wait until.

A

Late july or early august to appoint mr. lucas, should we see fit to do that and.

A

That we would have nobody in the deputy role and we have more than enough.

A

Business, especially this year in time of crisis, we're having a full staff, is.

A

Important, so you know if we decide not to name mr. lucas, you know we have time.

A

To conduct a search in either case, but I think it's better that the search be.

A

Conducted now, rather than we wait until to determine whether one needs to be to.

A

Be done, I don't know if that makes sense.

A

Any other questions about the motion.

A

Seeing none if the clerk will please call the roll on the motion.

A

We now go to matters of the council schedule who is presenting these if any.

A

Mr. sherman, mr. lucas, I'm happy to take a stab at the items there aren't too.

Q

Many matters to discuss the first item that we wanted to note is that currently.

Q

The transportation demand management plan that councilmembers have heard.

Q

About at a previous work session is scheduled for the meeting next week as a.

Q

Resolution and I suppose we wanted to get confirmation from the council how.

Q

They would like to treat that resolution. It certainly could be slated for one.

Q

Meeting next week at the regular session, if the council felt that it was going to.

Q

Take further deliberations tonight might be an opportunity to flesh out how you.

Q

Want to hear that resolution as it moves forward and- and please note I mr.

Q

Sherman may have to chime in here. I believe there is a consultant. That's.

Q

Scheduled to speak on the matter and mr. sherman might have more information.

Q

About their availability of possibility on moving dates around nothing further.

A

On that, that's my understanding, yeah with respect to the resolution.

A

While I did not expect that the tdm plan would generate any controversy- and I.

A

Don't think that there's any now.

A

Resolution I mean it may be the pleasure of one or more members to to deliberate.

A

Over the course of a fortnight, but I think that the tdm resolution could be.

A

Handled in one meeting and that's why I haven't really made any noise about it,.

A

A

From other members about scheduling of the hearing of that plan, anybody have.

A

Any preference otherwise, because if not we'll just go with one meeting under.

A

Theory: okay, yeah. I think it's fine, I mean if people have concerns, I just want.

A

To say that we can always, you know, push it off to the 17th. After having heard it.

A

Presented on the 3rd counsel always retains the option to have multiple.

A

Readings of legislation, so yes, I would leave it at that. Yeah, the the only other.

Q

Items we've got are just a few reminders tomorrow night, the jack hopkins social.

Q

Services funding committee will meet for its allocation hearing where it will.

Q

Announced and make the committee's official recommendations for agencies.

Q

Receiving funding that will then be forwarded to the full council on june.

Q

17Th, so I just wanted to announce that there's more information on the jack.

Q

Kapp jack hopkins website for any interested members of the public, and I.

Q

Believe that concludes the council scheduling business other than another.

Q

Reminder that the administration committee is scheduled to meet immediately following this special session right, so with that, if there are.

A

No other announcements: we are prepared to adjourn those of you who are on the.

A

Administration committee- please stick around for consideration of. Oh I'm sorry.

A

I do need to make a motion or I'd like I'm, going to refer ordinance 2010 to the.

A

Administration committee, if there's no objection to it, you know we're gonna.

A

Have it that's, we've already scheduled it, but so customers, rollo sims campbell.

A

Larry you'd stick around the rest of you are free to go and enjoy your evening.

A

With all that, with that, this meeting is adjourned.
