Good

B
D
E
A
You
thank
you
we'll
continue
with
our
land

labor

for

We
recognize
that
the
city
of
Bloomington
sits
on
native
land.
The
city
as
well
as
City
administrative
buildings,
are
on
the
traditional
homelands
of
the
Miami
Delaware
Potawatomi
and
Shawnee

and
we
acknowledge
that
they
are
past
present
and
future
caretakers
of
this
land.
A
Continuing
with
an
agenda
summation
for
this
evening's
meeting,
we'll
begin
this

with

minutes,
we
have
one
set
from
the
regular

on
June
1st
2022
to

then
move
into

beginning
with
reports
from
Individual

We

There
is

the
year
2023
to
reflect
updates
needing
implementation
in
2023.
A
A
D
D
G
G
Thank
you
but
I
think
that's
what's
important.
What
we
do
civically
is
important
and
I
think
you
start
young
to
understand
some
of
the
nuances
and
how
things
actually
work.
So
I
just
really
want
to
acknowledge
that
everyone's
here
and
good
to
see
you
tonight,
and
hopefully
it
won't
be
a
year
before
we
see
you
all
again.
Thank
you.
A
E
E
It
has
been
a
topic
of
conversation
in
this
city
about
the
potential
for
declining
enrollment
to
affect
the
housing
market
and
I've
argued
for
a
while
that
I'm
not
sure
that,
while
that
may
be
true
in
many
parts
of
the
country,
it's
not
necessarily
true
here.
One
of
the
things
that
the
article
talks
about
is
how
St
Joseph's
College
in
Rensselaer,
which
had
1100
students
closed
in
2017
due
to
inclining
declining
enrollment,
and
the
article
pointed
out
quote
that.
E
However,
all
of
Northwest
Indiana's
universities
are
either
Regional
campuses
or
liberal
arts
colleges,
and
both
types
are
expected
to
Bear
the
brunt
of
this
so-called
enrollment
collapse.
But
one
point
in
the
article
that
I
wanted
to
point
out
is
that
they
specifically
call
into
question
cities
like
this
one
and
I'm
trying
to
find
the
quote
here.
E
Many
of
these
experts
predict
that
prominent
Elite
institutions
and
Flagship
universities,
such
as
the
University
of
Notre,
Dame
or
Indiana
University
Bloomington,
will
weather
the
storm
because
of
recognizable
Brands
and
reputations.
They
might
even
see
enrollment
increases
so
I'd
like
to
call
people's
attention
to
this
article
and
to
point
out
that
we
cannot
and
should
not
rely
on
the
possibility
that
enrollment
will
decrease
at
the
IU
Bloomington
campus,
because
it
is
perhaps
the
single
most
significant
institution
in
the
state.
E
Most
not
everybody
would
like
to
be
able
to
go
to
IU
if
they
have
a
choice
of
colleges
due
to
the
flagship
campus,
and
that
means
we
must
pay
attention
to
how
we
accommodate
the
people
coming
to
Bloomington
to
attend
school.
That
means
we
need
to
be
thinking
more
about
housing.
We
think
I
believe
that
we
think
that
IU
should
also
be
thinking
more
about
housing.
They
should
be
contributing
to
it.
E
E
One
does
and
I
want
once
again
to
remind
people
that
there's
never
been
a
decade
when
the
city
of
Bloomington,
the
county
of
Monroe
or
the
enrollment
at
IU
has
shrunk
in
200
years,
except
for
the
2020
census,
where
there
was
a
slight
drop
due
to
the
fact
that
the
census
didn't
count
any
dorm
students
who
were
there
two
weeks
prior
to
the
pandemic,
shutting
down
schools
across
the
country
were
it
not
for
that.
The
city
of
Bloomington
would
have
seen
an
increase
in
growth
that
decade
as
well.
Thank
you.
K
She's
here
virtually
good
evening,
council
members
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
tonight.
My
name
is
kaisa
Goodman
and
I'm.
The
public
engagement
director
here
at
the
city
of
Bloomington
I'm
here
tonight
regarding
the
annual
report
for
the
city
of
Bloomington
sibling
cities,
relationship
with
the
City
of
Palo
Alto
California
presenting
tonight's
report
is
Vicki
Winker,
founder
and
CEO
of
sibling.
Cities
USA
and
she
and
I
will
both
be
available
following
the
report
to
answer
any
questions.
Vicki.
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
tonight
on
zoom
and
welcome.
L
Thank
you,
and
thanks
to
all
of
you
for
having
me
and
having
me
back,
I,
had
the
pleasure
of
addressing
you
on
December
1st
of
2021,
when
I
was
asking
for
your
support
of
our
effort
to
knit
this
city
or
this
country
back
together,
two
cities
at
a
time
now,
18
months
later,
I'm
here
as
requested
to
give
you
our
annual
report
and
tell
you
how
it's
gone
and
I'm
here
to
tell
you.
It
went
well
I'm,
coming
to
you
tonight
from
Palo
Alto.
Previously
I
was
coming
to
you
from
Bloomington
I.
L
Think
many
of
you
know
that
I
was
born
in
Indiana
I'm.
An
IU,
grad
and
I
have
my
heart
in
both
places.
So
this
has
been
really
just
amazing
to
see
the
two.
The
residents
of
the
two
cities
get
to
know
each
other
and
respect
each
other
and
enjoy
each
other.
The
way
I
do
so
getting
to
our
slides.
If
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
so
after
you
approved
entering
the
sibling
City
relationship
and
the
Palo
Alto
city
council
did
the
same.
L
This
first
ever
sibling,
City
agreement
was
entered
in
February
of
2022
next
slide,
oh
and
by
the
way
in
January,
I
was
elected
to
the
Palo
Alto
to
city
council
and
so
I
understand
the
need
for
brevity
and
I'm
going
to
go
through
this
pretty
quickly,
but
I
will
be
in
Bloomington
at
the
end
of
the
month.
Anyone
who
wants
to
have
a
longer
conversation
I
would
welcome
that.
L
Anyway,
we
used
three
pillars
of
connection
to
build
our
relationship.
Community
groups
get
together,
business
groups
get
together,
the
bedc
and
the
Chambers
of
Commerce
have
connected,
and
then
we
also
engage
in
civil
discourse
and
we're
launching
that
this
year
next
slide,
we
have
had
bipartisan
support
at
the
national
level.
For
this
effort,
we've
had
both
members
of
Congress
from
our
district
out
in
Palo
Alto,
and
your
former
member
Trey
Hollingsworth
support
this.
Also
on
the
slide.
L
L
So
this
past
year,
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
Karen
Howe
Fernandez
in
Bloomington
to
coordinate
these
efforts
and
Andy
Reed
in
Palo
Alto
she's,
also
associated
with
a
non-profit
called
Neighbors
abroad.
That
looks
after
all,
of
our
sister
cities
in
Palo
Alto,
so
we
coordinate
those
together
next
slide,
just
a
quick
overview
which
we
could
not
fit
on
one
slide,
just
the
highlights.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we
had
our
virtual
kickoff
in
February
of
last
year.
L
Then
there
was
a
joint
essay
contest
with
students
in
both
cities
writing
about
Civic
courage,
which
was
wonderful.
In
May
there
were
a
group
of
Palo
altons
that
came
to
Bloomington
to
visit,
also
in
May
the
city
of
Bloomington
awarded
us
an
innovation
award
which
we're
pretty
proud
of
and
excited
and
honored
by
next
slide
and
then
in
August
out
in
front
of
City
Hall
in
Palo
Alto.
L
If
you're
ever
out
here,
please
come
visit,
there's
a
sign
with
little
paddles,
pointing
to
all
eight
of
our
sister
cities
internationally
and
now
there's
one
pointing
to
Bloomington,
and
there
was
an
unveiling
ceremony
Karen
how
Fernandez
came
out
and
spoke
and
we're
pretty
excited
about
that.
In
November,
a
group
of
paloa
of
about
17
bloomingtonians
came
to
Palo
Alto
and
then
fast
forward
to
this
past
February
we
launched
our
civil
discourse
all
right.
Let
me
try
to
speed
it
up
a
little
next
slide,
so
this
was
the
kickoff
of
it.
L
You
can
see
more
on
our
website
about
that.
Let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
Here's
some
highlights
and
by
the
way,
this
annual
report
deck
is
on
our
website
this.
These
are
some
of
the
great
things
that
people
saw
when
they
visited
Bloomington
Dimension,
Mill,
City
Hall,
the
IU
cook
Center
for
the
Arts
next
slide,
teachers,
Warehouse
Brown
County,
and
then
there
were
individual
connections
such
as
dinner
with
the
rotary
clubs.
Next
slide
turnabout
fair
play.
When
people
came
to
Palo
Alto,
there
was
a
welcome
launch.
L
We
had
a
climate
Summit
where,
from
Washington
DC,
the
assistant,
U.S
Secretary
of
the
Department
of
energy,
came
out
to
talk
about
how
cities
can
get
engaged
in
climate
efforts.
We
plant,
we
had
65
people
come
to
our
civil
discourse
planning
meeting
with
an
economic
Roundtable
next
slide
and
the
IU
Alumni
Association,
put
on
a
lovely
reception
in
Palo
Alto
right
before
Jacobs
School
string
quartet
performed
a
free,
a
free
concert
and
that
brought
the
house
down.
We
did
tours
of
Stanford
downtown
and
others,
and
there
was
another
rotary
dinner,
so
it
was
wonderful.
L
This
past
February
brought
Tom
Ehrlich
who's
beloved
in
both
towns,
former
president
of
IU,
former
dean
of
the
Stanford
law
school,
who
spoke
to
us
about
launching
this
civil
discourse
effort,
as
did
Joan
blades,
who
has
founded
a
national
living
room,
conversation
platform
to
facilitate
to
civil
discourse,
and
so
we
are
now
going
to
be
living
into
that
in
the
next
few
months.
Next
slide
and
here's
the
impact
that
your
residents
and
ours
have
had.
L
There
were
six
high
school
essay
contest
winners.
We've
had
10
joints
during
committee
meetings,
meeting
leaders
from
both
cities
getting
together
to
talk
about
this
we've
had
20,
sorry
I.
We
had
26
delegates
visit
back
and
forth
through
the
rotary
clubs.
36
organizations
have
been
connected.
65
people
attended
the
Civil
discourse
planning
meeting
150
attended
our
virtual
kickoff
we've
had
200
attend
our
climate
Summit.
We
had
200
cans
of
food
in
a
thousand
dollars
raised
by
Kiwanis
for
a
fundraiser
and
we've
had
more
than
200
people
just
participate
generally
in
other
ways.
L
And
on,
in
fact,
the
very
next
thing
that's
happening
is
this
Friday
three
students
from
Bloomington,
as
well
as
students
from
Palo
Alto,
are
traveling
to
ensca
day
the
Netherlands.
That
was
the
award
for
the
essay
contest,
a
free
trip,
because
ensca
day
is
a
sister
City
of
Palo
Alto,
and
so
the
Palo
Alto
non-profit
that
sponsored
the
contest
is
paying
for
that
trip
and
we
hope
that
that
will
get
our
younger
generation.
L
So,
what's
next
in
the
fall,
and
we
would
love
for
any
and
all
of
your
people
in
your
network,
be
they
organizations
or
private
citizens,
participate
in
our
town
halls.
We're
going
to
do
Regional
divides
in
August
we're
going
to
do
climate
in
October,
we're
going
to
do
race
and
belonging
in
November,
and
we're
very
excited
about
this
and
we're
going
to
learn
from
each
one
how
to
do
better
the
next
time,
and
we
welcome
all
feedback
on
that
next
slide.
L
So
if
you
want
to
get
involved,
many
of
you
already
are
or
have
been,
but
we
welcome
all
so
email
me
talk
to
Kaiser
sign
up
on
our
website,
I'm
very
excited
we
just
launched
today
our
civil
discourse
page
on
our
website.
That'll
tell
you
how
to
do
this,
and
our
annual
report,
as
I
mentioned,
is
on
our
website.
Anyway,
it's
been
a
terrific
year.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
support
and
for
your
taking
the
sleep
of
faith
in
this
effort
to
make
our
America
the
one
that
we
want
to
live
in.
A
A
M
Evening,
council,
members,
I'm
Ryan
Shady,
the
city
of
Bloomington,
Human,
Rights,
Commission,
chair
and
first
happy
pride
month,
I
stand
here
before
you
today
as
a
member
of
the
lgbtq
plus
community,
and
today
our
community
is
now
under
unrelenting
attacks
from
those
who
who
do
wish
to
do
us
harm
as
individuals.
We
have
the
right
to
live
in
peace
and
without
fear
of
intimidation
or
death
from
these
individuals
Bloomington,
as
the
welcoming
community
that
it
is
still
has
work
to
do
in
order
to
achieve
Harmony's
Harmony
for
those
in
this
community.
M
M
This
year,
the
two
recipients
of
the
2023
city
of
Bloomington
human
rights
award
face
these
realities
every
day,
our
City's
most
vulnerable
individuals,
ranging
from
our
school
children
at
MCCSC
to
those
sleeping
on
our
streets,
are
the
subject
of
ridicule
and
bullying,
unlike
some
of
us,
can
never
believe.
Yet.
The
award
winners
this
evening
persist
through
all
that
they
face
whether
at
Beacon
or
within
the
school
system.
M
We
had
six
Stellar
nominations
for
this
award
this
year
and
our
commission
decided
to
award
two
one
to
an
individual
and
one
to
an
Institutional
group.
It
is
a
privilege
to
stand
here
before
you
to
present
both
Reverend
Forrest
Gilmore
and
the
Monroe
County
Community
School
corporate
Corporation
Equity
ambassadors,
as
the
recipients
of
this
year's
award
I
will
first
introduce
you
to
Reverend
Gilmore
and
present
him
with
his
award
and
then
I
will
present
the
equity
ambassadors
with
theirs.
M
Reverend
Gilmore
was
nominated
by
Judy
Owens,
his
nominator
stated
as
the
reason
for
his
nomination.
It
is
because
of
his
dedicated
work
in
serving
and
empowering
bloomington's
homeless
and
at-risk
population
Judy
Carries
On
by
saying
his
housing
first
philosophy
has
aided
in
grounding
individuals
and
families
suffering
from
lice
upheavals,
helping
them
onto
a
path
of
housing,
employment
and
self-sufficiency.
M
Not
only
that,
it
is
said
that
Forest
has
a
gentle
old
soul
and
deserves
recognition
for
his
efforts
and
finally,
and
most
commendable
under
his
Direction
Beacon
has
expanded
to
include
six
major
programs
in
the
past
13
years
and
on
top
of
that
is,
it
is
with
dignity
and
compassion.
They
all
serve
almost
1
million
meals,
provided
nearly
a
100
000
nights
of
shelter
and
helped
and
helped
house,
or
prevent
homelessness
for
just
shy
of
ten
thousand
people.
M
M
We
can
all
be
thankful
that
this
person
calls
Bloomington
home
with
pride,
enthusiasm
and
without
reservation.
I
am
humbled
and
honored
to
award
the
2023

on
up.
Thank
you,
Forrest
for
your
tireless
dedication
to
Bloomington
and
every
community
in
which
you

and
congratulations.
M
Up
next,
we
will
do
our
institution
award
under
the
tutelage
of
assistant,
superintendent
of
curriculum
and
instruction
Dr
Markay
Winston.
This
group
of
high
school
students
from
across
Bloomington
has
worked
tirelessly
with
MCCS
Administration
to
co-create
a
much
needed
racial
Equity
policy
for
our
school
corporation.
M
Furthermore,
many
of
these
individuals
have
also
expressed
to
her
that
they
have
a
deep
desire
to
continue
their
involvement
in
this
work.
Milk
sums
up
quite
succinctly
with
the
important
work
that
they
will
be
carrying
out
in
future
terms.
This
is
a
worthy
group
of
young
people,
well,
young
people
that
are
here
today,
many
of
which
council
member
Sims
pointed
out.
As
you
can
see
by
the
example
of
Reverend
Gilmore.
You
have
a
lot
more
years
ahead
of
you
and
I
know
you
can
achieve
and
do
great
things
along
with
bringing
about
change
in
society.
M
We
are
so
very
proud
of
your
important
work
and
I
could
not
be
more
excited
and
pleased
to
present
this
great
group,
the
future
of
our
community
with
the
2023
city
of
Bloomington,
Human,
Rights,
Commission
institution
award.
Thank
you
for
the
work
you
have
begun
and
we
look
forward
to
seeing
what
you
can
accomplish
in
the
future
and
any
and
all
of
you
that
want
to
come
up
here
and
get
your
picture
taken,
go
right
ahead.
Congratulations.
N
A
For
those
two
of
us
who
are
joining
us
who
are
on
the
balcony
level,
we
have
some
seats
that
are
freeing
up
down
on
this
level
if
you'd
like
to
come
downstairs,
you're
welcome
to
or
you're
welcome,
to
stay
upstairs
so,
but
and
on
behalf
of
the
council.
Congratulations
to
Reverend
Gilmore
into
the
Monroe
County
Community
Schools,
Equity
ambassadors.
Thank
you
for
being
a
source
of
good
news,
so.
J
You
need
members
of
the
council
I
think
I
wish.
I
would
have
probably
gone
first
tonight
before
we
gave
Awards
to
children
in
forests,
but
congratulations
to
all
of
them.
I'll
try
to
follow
that
up
with
some
really
great
information
on
streets,
sidewalks,
side
paths
and
curb
ramp
assessment
information,
Mr.
A
Waste
I'm
going
to
interrupt
you
for
just
a
minute.
We
are
five
minutes
away
from
the
deadline.
We
allow
20
minutes
for
this
particular
section
of
the
meeting
and
I'm
assuming
we
would
like
to
extend
extend
that.
Is
there
a
motion
from
a
council
may
I
have
a
motion
to
extend
this
time?
Is.
J
A
Okay,
let's
extend
we
were
originally
to
end
at
705,
let's
plan
to
extend
till
7
15.,
all
those
in
favor
indicate
by
saying
aye.
F
J
We're
talking
about
a
field
reconnaissance
data
collection
project
that
we
contracted
for
in
2021
and
had
completed
in
2022.
the
first
year
that
we
had
ever
done.
A
data
analysis
like
this
was
2017,
which
was
a
big
first
prior
to
using
this
more
technological
way
of
analyzing
our
streets,
sidewalks
and
curb
ramps.
J
That
was
all
done
manually
in
the
past,
so
we
literally
had
City
staff
Drive,
try
to
analyze
and
give
a
very
subjective
review
and
rating
for
all
of
our
city
streets
IMS,
our
contracted
vendor
for
this
work,
utilized
a
state-of-the-art
road,
surface,
tester
rst
and
throughout
the
city
to
capture
continuous
high
resolution,
pavement,
cracking
rutting
and
roughness
data
on
our
237
237
Center
Line
miles
of
our
asphalt
roadways
streets,
as
we
all
know,
support
more
than
just
the
traditional
single
automobile.
J
It's
for
fire
engines,
ambulances,
police
cars,
transit
buses,
bicyclists
sanitation,
trucks,
snow
plows,
delivery,
trucks,
Etc
many
of
our
streets
have
bike
Lanes
marked
specifically
for
bicyclists
and
are
located
within
the
street
that
are
separate
from
side
paths
prior
to
Pavement
maintenance
projects
that
require
Milling.
All
curb
ramps
must
be
upgraded
to
meet
current
Ada
standards
and
requirements.
J
J
As
previously
mentioned,
every
square
foot
of
road
service
in
the
community
was
measured
and
analyzed
on
a
one
to
100
ranking
scale,
while
I'm
sure
the
red
poor
rating
on
this
chart
is
going
to
be
the
most
noticeable
visible
visual
in
the
chart.
Some
perspective
needs
to
be
taken
into
account
of
where
and
why
this
figure
is
so
high.
Overall,
37
percent
of
the
city's
Road
network
is
in
a
poor
or
very
poor
condition,
but
53
percent
are
in
marginal
fare,
good,
very
good
and
excellent
conditions.
J
The
next
slide
will
also
provide
some
additional
information
and
perspective
on
which
types
of
roadway
classifications
fall
into
the
various
condition
categories,
and
this
is
where
the
perspective
is
really
important.
Overall,
our
network
is
at
a
52
PCI,
our
arterial
roads,
the
roads
that
have
the
heaviest
traffic
volumes
are
at
a
56
56
PCI,
our
collector
roads,
which
are
the
next
most
high
volume.
Roads
are
at
a
54
PCI
and
our
residential
roads,
which
receive
the
lowest
amounts
of
traffic,
are
at
an
overall
49
PCI.
J
So
again,
the
most
highly
traveled
roads
are
in
the
best
condition
in
the
community,
the
most
low
volume
roads
tend
to
be
have
the
poor
or
very
poor
rating
next.
Overall,
our
current
annual
budget
of
roughly
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
dedicated
to
Pavement
and
preservation
will
not
will
not
be
enough
to
sustain
the
current
52
PCI
or
move
it
up
to
keep
a
steady
state
PCI.
We
need
to
increase
that
funding
to
about
1.1
million
dollars
per
year
to
get
to
an
PCI
average
across
the
entire
city
of
55.
J
That
would
require
a
1.4
million
dollar
annual
allocation
for
budget
for
budgeting,
but
there
is
some
other
good
news
here
between
the
community
Crossings
grant
program
that
we
have
leveraged
since
20
19
and
with
some
additional
requests
for
one-time
spending.
We
are
hoping
to
be
able
to
meet
at
least
that
1.4
million
dollar
annual
investment-
if
not
more
and
you'll,
hear
more
to
come
about
that
in
our
2024
budget.
Requests
this
coming
August
next
slide.
J
Actually,
due
to
time.
Let's
skip
that
one,
let's
get
to
sidewalks.
So
for
sidewalks
we
have
251.3
miles
of
sidewalk,
city-wide
91
are
concrete,
one
percent
are
brick
or
stamped
brick
and
about
eight
percent
are
asphalt.
The
good
news
here
is
the
condition
of
our
sidewalks.
Community-Wide
are
in
good
condition
and
I.
J
Think
that's
something
we
should
all
be
proud
of
between
the
increased
investments
in
sidewalk
repairs
and
maintenance
year
over
year
that
you
all
as
your
role
as
the
budget
approval
agents,
body
for
the
city
and
the
budgets
that
were
approved
for
the
street
division
of
the
Department
of
Public
Works
and
the
private
Investments
of
property
owners.
The
results
are
noticeable
and
significant
as
you
all.
You
are
all
aware.
Percity
code,
sidewalk
maintenance
and
repair
such
as
sidewalk,
maintenance
and
repair,
including
Snow
Control,
are
the
responsibility
of
the
adjoining
property
owner.
J
Next
and
I
know
this
Graphics
kind
of
hard
to
see,
but
this
is
the
type
of
interactive
map
that
has
been
uploaded
to
the
city's
website
through
the
be
clear
portal
which
allows
anyone
to
scroll
and
find
the
conditions
of
each
section
of
sidewalk
throughout
the
city
for
side
paths,
we
have
22.9
Lane
miles
of
public
side
pass.
These
are
adjacent
to
the
road
right-of-way
and
again,
traditionally,
more
than
double
the
width
of
a
traditional
sidewalk.
J
So
if
you
can
just
go
to
two
slides
yeah,
so
here's
a
the
map
of
where
we
have
side
paths
throughout
the
city
and
then
a
chart
showing
that
overall
we're
in
a
very
good
and
excellent
condition,
with
at
least
81
PCI
for
our
pavement
of
side
paths.
Next
up
the
study
also
looked
at
Ada
ramps
throughout
the
community,
a
very
important
Mobility
investment
for
for
the
community
next,
so
with
Ada
ramps,
the
time
at
which
an
ADA
ramp
is
installed.
J
Let
me
step
back
so
when
Ada
ramps
are
installed,
there's
a
current
standard
in
any
given
year
at
which
those
Ada
ramps
need
to
be
installed.
So
as
an
example,
a
new
ramp
that
we
would
have
installed
in
2013
would
have
met
all
the
ADA
requirements
at
that
time.
J
I
know
that's
a
little
confusing,
but
when
you
think
of
it
from
a
poor,
fair
and
good
perspective,
there's
some
other
data
that
should
be
taken
into
account.
The
next
is
a
visual
of
what
would
consist
constitute
poor
on
the
left
side,
fairer
in
the
middle
and
good
on
the
right.
As
you
can
see
on
the
left,
the
poor
one,
it's
got
a
deteriorating
ramp
with
no
delineators
like,
as
shown
in
the
good,
for
the
fair,
that's
going
to
be
a
probably
a
2010
standard.
J
You
see
some
cracking
though,
and
the
standard
back
then
was
just
to
do
to
have
some
indentations
into
the
concrete.
The
good
is
going
to
have
your
your
I
can't
think
of
the
name
of
them
right
now,
but
they
look
like
the
little
Lego
pieces.
Michael,
are
you
still
here
damn,
but
the
the
maroon
ramps
are
going
to
be
what
is
going
to
be
the
current
standard
which
is
going
to
meet
good?
J
So
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide-
and
this
is
what
where
you
have
the
deficiencies
compared
to
the
actual
condition
overall,
five,
almost
five
thousand
seven
hundred
of
our
ramps
in
the
city
are
in
good
condition.
That's
a
really
good
figure.
We
do
have
a
few
in
the
poor
condition
and
then
the
other
noticeable
thing
here
is
we
have
885
locations
where
we
would.
J
As
the
Public
Works
director
and
who
works
very
closely
with
the
street
division,
this
data
is
invaluable
in
how
we
make
our
decisions.
It's
invaluable,
in
how
we
make
our
decisions
on
where
to
invest,
for
pavement
maintenance
where
to
invest
for
sidewalk
maintenance
and
how
to
increase
the
overall
mobility
of
the
community.
So
I
know
that's
a
lot
of
information
in
a
very
short
amount
of
time,
I'm
happy
to
meet
with
any
of
the
council
members
individually.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
wayson.
We
have
a
couple
minutes
left
for
questions
council,
member
Rallo.
F
J
Could
yes,
I
had
to
I
when
I
ran
through
my
presentation
earlier,
I
was
at
at
least
15
minutes,
so
I
had
to
cut
some
slides,
but
we
do
have
that
2017
to
2022
data
2017
we're
at
about
a
57
overall
PCI.
So
that's
where
you
can
see.
If
you
don't
make
those
increased
Investments
year
over
year,
your
PCI
is
going
to
go
down.
Okay,.
E
J
E
A
A
Okay?
Seeing
none
I
will
take
this
opportunity
to
make
one
appointment.
Council
member
Rallo
is
stepping
away
from
the
special
committee
on
Council
processes,
I'd
like
to
appoint
council
member
volen
to
that
committee
and
to
thank
him
for
his
willingness
to
serve
so
that.
E
A
That
brings
us
to
our
first
of
two
periods
of
public
comment.
This
period
of
public
comment
will
be
for
items
not
on
the
agenda
this
evening,
so
this
will
be
a
general
period
of
public
comment.
It'll
be
one
of
two
may
I
have
a
show
of
hands
in
turn
in
here
in
Chambers
of
those
who
would
like
to
offer
public
comment
on
items
not
on
the
agenda.
O
Of
course,
if
there
are
members
of
the
public
that
wish
to
speak,
please
let
us
know
by
using
the
raise
hand
feature
in
Zoom.
You
can
find
that
feature
in
your
control
bar
by
clicking
the
reactions
button
or
the
more
button.
You
can
also
send
a
chat
to
the
meeting
host
to.
Let
us
know
you'd
like
to
speak.
A
A
F
A
A
I
was
all
of
you
received
an
email
about
this,
oh
gosh
several
days
ago,
regarding
appointments
from
Council
to
the
Monroe
County
Justice
Finance
advisory
committee
or
jfac
I
would
like
to
appoint
Isabel
Piedmont
Smith
to
that
post,
Mr
Lucas.
Do
you
recommend
we
take
these
separately
or
or
take
them
both
together,
I.
A
F
A
Opposed
thank
you
that
passes
and
we
appreciate
her
willingness
to
serve
on
the
Justice
Finance
advisory
committee.
The
next
is
the
college
Walnut
Corridor
study
steering
committee
I
also
sent
out
a
request
for
those
who
may
be
interested
in
serving
and
I
have
a
willingness
to
serve
from
council
member
Sims
and
I
appreciate
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
If
council
is
agreeable
to
appointing
him
to
that,
so.
E
A
F
F
B
Resolution
2309
a
resolution
of
the
common
Council
of
the
city
of
Bloomington
Indiana,
endorsing
and
urging
passage
of
Indiana
Legislation,
establishing
a
driver
card
for
undocumented
in
Indiana
residents.
The
synopsis
is
as
follows.
This
resolution
expresses
the
common
Council
support
for
passage
of
State
legislation,
creating
a
lawful
driving
credential
available
to
undocumented
residents,
who
need
appropriate
prerequisites.
Instructs
the
city
clerk
to
send
the
resolution
upon
passage
to
the
state
house
and
urges
residents
to
express
their
own
support
to
state
legislators.
A
P
P
P
Gracias
I
want
to
mention
that
resolution
2309
or
the
eventual
implementation
of
the
driver's
card
is
not
expected
to
impose
cost
on
the
city
of
Bloomington.
I.
Do
want
to
share
that
the
office
of
the
mayor
received
a
packet
of
information
about
this
supporting
a
resolution
for
it
Indiana
in
undocumented
Indiana
residents.
P
Is
a
non-profit
agency
based
out
of
Plymouth
Indiana
and
a
representative
Ed
Rodriguez
is
here
as
well
as
members.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
and
I
did
tell
them.
There's
also
several
of
our
community
members
who
are
here
who
are
also
in
support
of
this
resolution,
so
moving
further.
P
The
office
of
the
mayor
supports
and
endorses
this
resolution.
In
last
week's
press
release
the
mayor
mayor,
Hamilton,
mentioned
the
passage
of
Senate
Bill
248
will
be
a
good
will
be
good
for
communities
good
for
the
economy
and
good
for
the
Dignity
of
our
friends
and
Neighbors.
I
want
to
share
information
of
what
this
driving
card
does.
When
a
person
has
it,
they
can
safely
engage
in
basic
essential
needs.
P
They
can
buy
groceries
or
going
to
food.
Pantries
and
I
can
tell
you
that
food
pantries
is
one
of
the
aspects
that
I'm
familiar
with
when
I
encounter
most
of
our
community
members
locally
here
in
Bloomington.
This
will
enable
them
to
go
to
work
and
from
work
also
transferring
their
children
transporting
their
children
to
and
from
school.
If
the
bus
is
not
able
to
come
pick
them
up,
they
can
access
health
care,
basic
health
care,
and
then
it
will
boost
state
revenue
through
fees
associated
with
obtaining
the
credentials.
P
P
P
Our
community
contributes,
our
community
contributes
to
countless
way
in
countless
ways,
and
one
of
them
there's
several,
but
one
of
them
comes
to
mind
is
the
fact
that
they
do
pay
taxes
and
they
file
taxes,
and
this
is
just
from
previous
employment
that
I've
had
in
working
with
the
Latino
Community,
our
local
Latino
Community.
Here
in
Bloomington
calling
scheduling,
appointments
to
file
taxes
and
again
we
all
pay
taxes.
P
P
They
will
be
certified,
as
I
mentioned,
just
going
through
the
training
taking
doing
going
through
all
the
prerequisites
as
needed
to
have
an
obtain
a
driver's
card,
and
also
once
you
have
a
driver
card,
they
will
be
able
to
access
car
insurance,
so
they
will
be
able
to
actually
have
it
like
we
want
it.
P
We
just
can't
get
that
at
the
moment
and
in
turn
it
will
reduce
accidents,
reduce
premiums
paid
by
licensed
drivers
and
promote
positive
relations
with
law
enforcement
by
reducing
the
fear
of
traffic
stops
and
reducing,
leaving
the
scene
of
an
accident.
P
I
do
want
to
mention
that
again,
our
community
Representatives
organization
entities
here
our
representative
Ed
Rodriguez,
is
here
if
you
have
any
other
follow-up
questions,
but
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
our
local
community,
here
in
Bloomington,
are
also
here
as
I,
see
them
and
I
recognize
them,
and
so
to
conclude,
I
want
to
sincerely
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
hear
us
out
so
that
you
can
see
that
we
do
have
support
that.
P
F
Thank
you
for
your
presentation,
so
I
I
noticed
that
similar
bills
passed
the
Senate,
and
could
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
process
lies
ahead
in?
In
other
words,
if
this,
if,
if
the
house
bill
passes.
Q
Typically,
what
happens
once
it
dies
in
the
Senate?
Then
the
effort
ceases.
So
we
start
up
again
in
January
of
the
following
year,
and
so
true
progress
has
never
been
made
this
year
this
past
year,
Senate
Bill
248
actually
had
nine
Republican
Senators
and
two
Democrat
Senators.
So
it
is
a
very,
very
strong
bipartisan
effort.
Now
we
have
done
everything
we
can
to
meet
with
Senators,
but
it's
very
difficult
with
their
schedule.
Q
So
we
took
a
different
approach
of
coming
to
folks,
like
you
Grassroots
law,
making.
This
is
where
things
really
happen
and
ask
for
resolutions.
We
found
that
legislators
at
some
point
tend
to
hide
behind
the
word
constituents.
You
know
the
constituents
are
saying
this
and
saying
that.
But
when
we
come
to
the
leaders,
we
find
that
a
resolution
is
a
true
symbol
of
the
supporting
advocacy
that
the
city
has
recognizing.
The
importance
of
this.
Why
has
it
failed?
Q
Is
because
the
effort
ceases
once
the
proposal
dies
this
year,
levo
Sunita
has
taken
on
charge
full
charge
of
going
to
different
cities
right
now,
we're
looking
at
Kokomo
we're
looking
at
Anderson
Muncie
Frankfurt.
We
expect
a
resolution
any
time
now,
we've
been
asked
to
go
to
Columbus,
come
down
to
Washington
we're
traveling
the
entire
state
and,
as
josefa
said,
these
folks
we're
their
voice
they're
in
the
shadows
they
weren't
for
us.
Q
They
work
for
their
families
they're
here,
because
they
have
a
need-
and
at
this
point
we're
here
to
ask
for
you
to
pass
this
resolution
to
help
them
not
live
in
fear
of
driving.
We've
met
thousands
and
thousands
of
families,
particularly
mothers
who
are
being
pulled
over
by
by
law
enforcement
and
are
being
handcuffed
in
front
of
their
children
and
taken
away
to
jail
simply
because
they
don't
have
a
document
and
they're
driving.
They
need
to
drive.
Q
In
addition,
as
she
pointed
out,
these
folks
are
not
compliant
because
they've
never
passed
a
written
exam.
They've
never
passed
a
test
with
an
instructor
all
be
invented
through
the
BMV,
by
the
way,
which
is
in
full
support
of
this
legislation
and,
more
importantly,
which
I
think
is
the
the
component
that
we
all
need
to
recognize
is
that
they
will
have
to
carry
full
coverage
insurance.
This
will
protect.
All
of
us.
We
have
seen.
The
state
of
Utah
is
really
the
one
that
everybody
is
modeling.
Q
The
number
of
of
hit
runs
is
completely
eliminated,
because
these
folks
have
a
form
of
identification
through
this
and
they
have
full
coverage.
Insurance,
Indiana,
State
Police
is
in
full
favor
of
this
all
local
Law
Enforcement
Officers
Chiefs.
They
all
love
this.
We
just
can't
seem
to
get
past
Indianapolis,
and
this
is
why
we're
here
is
to
ask
you
for
this
resolution,
because
again,
this
is
the
symbol
that
we
know
is
going
to
make
real
Headway
for
us.
That's
a
great
question.
Thank
you.
A
O
A
R
R
Resolution
2309,
it
just
is
a
reflection
of
the
amazing
work
of
what
we're
hearing
and
what
we're
seeing
today
over
the
last
13
years,
it
has
been,
the
efforts
have
been
somewhat
successful,
but
they
were
correct
that
they
tend
to
die
in
the
Indiana
State
Legislature,
but
the
efforts
are
bipartisan
and
I
want
to
reiterate
this.
This
is
not
a
partisan
effort.
R
This
is
a
bipartisan
effort,
and
each
year
we
get
a
little
closer
and
going
back
to
a
Grassroots
effort
and
taking
Community
by
Community
City
by
City
Town
by
town
and
asking
for
the
support
in
these
resolutions
is
a
brilliant
idea.
I
commend
your
work
because
I
can
see
how
getting
getting
bipartisanship
support
through
our
communities
is
the
way
to
get
this
passed.
R
A
resolution
that
would
support
driver
card
legislation
makes
our
roads
safer
and
it
makes
good
economic
sense.
Individuals
who
qualify
for
a
driver's
a
driver
card
are
our
colleagues.
They
are
our
employees
and
they
pay
our
taxes.
They
pay
taxes,
they
are
also
trying
to
get
to
their
jobs
and
trying
to
get
their
kids
to
school.
R
First,
no
I
think
it
only
encourages
greater
engagement
throughout
Indiana
on
this
issue,
because,
as
I've
said
it
repeatedly,
this
is
a
bipartisan
effort
and
I
think.
One
reason
why
it
fails
is
people
just
don't
understand
it,
and
education
is
the
way
forward.
So
please
vote
in
support
of
this
resolution
and
I
look
forward
to
continue
to
work
with
the
residents
throughout
Indiana,
making
sure
this
happens
to
make
our
streets
safer
and
good
Economic
Policy.
Thank
you.
A
G
G
First
of
all,
I
do
support
it
strongly
support
it.
I
think
it
was
important
that
our
friend
Senator
Yoder,
let
everyone
know
that
what
does
a
city
council
we
do
something
like
this.
How
does
that
affect
anything
up
at
the
state
house
and
Beyond?
G
One
city
council
may
not
as
much.
There
are
multiple
communities
that
have
done
this
and
ultimately
and
I
did
hear
the
word.
Education,
ultimately
I,
think
it'll
spread
and
have
some
impact
and
influence
on
our
state
elected
folks
who
may
not
see
it
the
way
we
do
or
the
way
they
should
see
it.
Also
it's
a
way
to
educate.
That's
one
of
the
things
is
understanding
to
clarify
what
it
means
so
that
that's
another
way
to
educate
the
public,
in
particular
our
local
public.
G
I'm
I'm
going
to
say
this
because
normally
you
normally
you
don't
in
particular
in
politics
and
I've,
been
taught
that
you
really
don't
get
into
religion
or
spirituality
or
anything
like
that,
but
quickly,
I'm
going
to
say
this.
I
am
a
believer
and
I
do
believe
that
the
good
Lord
never
instilled
fear
in
US.
G
We
have
to
fight
that
that
is
not
a
natural
human
tendency
is
fear
that
is
created
by
external
forces
that
that
are
created.
So
all
in
this
I'm
happy
to
support
this,
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here
this
evening.
I
think
that's
important
as
well.
So
thank
you
very
much.
F
Well,
thank
you
and
and
I
appreciate,
mayor
Hamilton,
bringing
this
forward
and
I
appreciate
you
all
coming
this
evening
and
I
I
wish
you
luck
with
other
councils
around
the
state.
F
This
makes
perfect
sense
to
me
for
the
variety
of
reasons
that
have
been
stated
regarding
traffic
safety
insurance,
the
economic
benefits
to
make
sure
that
undocumented
immigrants
can
can
can
travel
to
find
work.
All
the
reasons
that
you
need
to
to
travel
or
drive
and
it's
a
benefit
for
law
enforcement
as
well.
But
it
really
is
a
Humane
policy.
It
seems
to
me
to
allow
people
to
participate
in
society,
so
I'm
I'm
very
happy
that
you're
working
on
this
and
I
wish
you
luck
and
I'm
happy
to
support
it.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation,
thanks
for
all
everyone
for
being
here.
This
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
it
should
be
just
a
Humane
thing
to
do
and
make
it
easier,
for
you
know
our
friends
in
in
the
community
to
be
safe
and
you
know,
get
the
work
and
take
care
of
their
families,
so
I'm
really
happy
to
support
it.
I'm
glad
you're,
all
here,
I
hope
that
you
know
the
senator
Yoder
helps
it
get
over
the
the
finish
line
and
and
and
it's
successful.
So
thank
you
very
much.
E
E
E
The
country
has
always
needed
to
acknowledge
people
where
they
rest
their
heads.
They
do
it
to
determine
representation
in
Congress.
It's
a
constitutional
mandate,
even
if
they
can't
vote
the
undocumented
are
acknowledged
as
existing
by
the
census
and
represented
by
people
on
this
Council
in
the
county
and
the
state
house
and
in
Congress
a
driving
record
card
is
a
reasonable
accommodation
that
makes
our
communities
safer,
not
just
for
those
who
would
receive
the
cards,
but
for
all
of
us,
so
I
definitely
support
this.
Thank
you.

too,
will
be
taken
up
next
at
our
regular
session,
one
night
one
week
from
tonight
on
June
14th.
Thank
you
that
takes
us
to
our
second
of
two
periods
of
public
comment.
This
is
for
items
not
on
the
agenda.
May
I
see
a
show
of
hands
and
Chambers
for
who
would
like
to
offer
public
comment.
I
see
one
approaching
the
podium
Mr
Lucas.
Can
you
extend
our
invitation
on
Zoom?
Please.
O
S
S
S
S
For
almost
two
decades
the
chamber
has
been
convening
businesses
and
schools
in
our
community.
We
strive
to
help
connect
students
to
Industries
companies
and
jobs
that
fuel
their
desire
to
learn
the
school
systems,
the
teachers
they
employ
and
the
students
they
mold
are
significant
reasons
that
local
companies
can
recruit
Talent
from
right
here
in
our
community.
S
The
success
school
has
a
ray
of
Hands-On
programs
that
include
career
panels,
mock
interviews,
job
shadowing
entrepreneur,
pitch
competition,
soft
skill
workshops,
stem
and
Career
Fairs,
financial
literacy
modules,
tour
of
opportunity
and
our
anchor
piece
the
reality
store.
This
is
where
every
K-12
Junior
High
student
navigates
the
burdens
of
adulthood
as
a
28
year
old,
with
career
chosen
based
on
their
GPA
here
here
they
need
to
obtain
the
necessary
housing.
The
insurance
Health
Care
Transportation
utilities
that
we
all
have
to
do
as
adults.
S
Meanwhile,
Child
Care,
Health
care
expenses
and
even
divorce
room
around
that
corner.
To
find
you
a
sense
of
the
successful
impact
for
2020-23
school
year.
In
our
two
school
districts,
we
had
559
volunteers
for
a
total
of
1
723
hours.
Those
served
were
4
342
students
and
52
distinctive
events
and
programs.
Our
financial
literacy
program
has
been
active
among
State
legislatures,
including
our
own
and,
as
I
see
now
41.
Other
states
have
taken
legislation
of
something
we're
already
doing
here
in
Monroe.
S
A
Thank
you,
Mr
mg.
Are
there
additional
commenters
here
in
Chambers
or
on
Zoom,
seeing
none
that'll
conclude
our
second
period
of
public
comment
and
that'll,
and
let's
now
take
up
matters
of
council
schedule,
Mr
Lucas.
Would
you
like
to
walk
us
through
these
or
shall
I
begin
with
a
work
session?
Well.
A
Workshop,
let
me
do
that.
Members
of
council
I'm
interested
in
scheduling
a
work
session
on
Monday
June
12th
at
noon.
For
the
purpose
of
hearing
about
And,
discussing
ongoing
efforts
by
the
county
to
advance
the
convention
center
Expansion
Project.
We
can
do
that
by
motion
tonight.
May
I
have
a
show
of
hands
of
those
who
would
be
interested
in
attending.
I
A
Okay,
I'm,
sorry
yeah
you
consume
okay
and
zoom
is
possible
as
well
I'm
sensing
enough
of
an
interest
that
let's
go
ahead
and
schedule
that
please
and
Mr
Lucas.
If
you
could
notice
that
accordingly,
okay
next
up,
we
have
a
budget
Advance
meeting
scheduled
for
June
13th
at
6
PM
in
the
Allison
conference
room.
A
I
A
O
And
just
to
perhaps
provide
some
some
suggestion.
If,
if
there's
no
date
picked
out,
currently
a
member
could
move
to
cancel
and
reschedule
for
a
later
date
to
be
determined.
O
If
you'd
like
to
go
through
the
exercise
of
picking
a
date
now
you
could
but
I
know
the
the
mayor's
unavailable
in
in
the
next
week
or
two.
So,
if
you'd
like
to
work
with
the
mayor's
office
and
staff
to
find
a
new
date
that
that
would
be
fine
as
well.
Okay,.
N
I
F
F
A
O
Yes,
just
for
those
folks
who
serve
on
the
pslit
committee,
we
have
selected
Monday
June,
the
12th
at
2
pm
as
the
date
and
time
for
that
committee's
first
meeting.
So
we
will
look
forward
to
getting
that
group
together
for
the
first
time
this
year
and
going
through
some
changes
that
we
have
have
had
to
our
process
through
a
state
bill.
So
stay
tuned
for
more
information.
There.
