Larry, thank you, councilmember, piedmont, smith, no report. Thank you. Councilmember.

A

Sandburg, yes, I did want to say a few words in.

B

Honor of betty cockrum, who has died, wait to she was a formidable leader that many.

B

Respected from her 15 years as the ceo of planned parenthood, and before that of.

B

Course she was budget director for governor bannon and before that she was.

B

Staff member here with the city of bloomington.

B

It was incredible news to hear about her passing in that, so many of us who knew.

B

Her I was kind of coming of age in my political life, when I first became.

B

Acquainted with her and just the nationís of her leadership in standing.

B

Firm against so much harassment and so much difficulty when she was the head of.

B

Planned parenthood- and I just always remember getting the feeling from her of.

B

Being feeling so safe, she was so fierce in her advocacy and so.

B

Clear in standing up for women's rights and a woman's right to her choices that.

B

She makes about her health and her life, and I just remember her as a remarkable.

B

And inspiring leader she did retire from planned parenthood in 2017, but the news.

B

Of her passing today was particularly stunning, given that she worked so hard.

B

And so fearlessly for so long, and it was a difference in this community of.

B

Bloomington, in particular that I feel it's important for us to mark her.

B

Passing today and and pay our respects, we owe her a debt of gratitude, certainly.

B

In this community and in the state of indiana, thank you. Thank you guys for.

A

Sandburg- and I will echo your sentiments, the only thing I have to report is that.

A

As of now, my understanding is that the governor's executive order means that we.

A

Will be meeting va assume at least until june 3rd, but after that the order may.

A

Change so there is a possibility that counsel may be meeting in person as early as a committee meeting on june, the 10th, but.

A

It's my personal hope that, because we only have two meetings after june 3rd.

A

Before council takes its recess that we will be able to meet via zoom right up.

A

Through the council recess mid-june through mid-july, but that's my.

A

Understanding of it, for now, with that we'll go back to, I had it open already.

A

Misplaced it, let's, where is the here? We go.

A

We go now to a report from the mayor and city offices. I see mayor hamilton is on.

A

The line hamilton can you give us an update on lockdown in other news? Yes, I.

I

Will can you hear me all right? Yes, let me just add susan. Thank you. So much.

I

For those wonderful words about betty cockrum, she has deep history in.

I

Bloomington, as you noted beginning really with the frank mcklusky.

I

Administration, I've known betty and for 30 plus years.

I

And she was indeed a force of nature. Terrific terrific public servant in the.

I

Best, meaning of that word serving the state government and then in planned.

I

Parenthood she was a she loved to get things done, I'll just share once she had.

I

A very active group called red heads for o'bannon, but she believed deeply in.

I

Inclusion, so she would die anyone's hair if they wanted to be part of that. So you.

I

Know you could join in anyway. She was a wonderful person lost too early, so.

I

Thanks for those words I'll just briefly update thanks, as you all know, every city.

I

Employee has kept working through this pandemic and the emergency state and.

I

Local orders to provide services- and I want to thank all 700 plus again you you.

I

Probably will remember that on april 25th inconsistent with the the.

I

Governor's stay at home order, state and local orders. We did close numerous.

I

Public facilities to public access, including playgrounds, a number of indoor.

I

Park facilities, like only and as well city hall, which was closed.

I

To public public at that time on may 16th under the local health order, which.

I

Was put in place, we did move as a county to stage two, the state stage, two which.

I

Included opening up restaurants were permitted to open at 50% occupancy, so.

I

That was just beginning last weekend, general retail stores could open up also.

I

Limited in numbers, personal services providers like barbers, hair, salons, etc,.

I

Could open up all needing posted plans and that rule has been put in place.

I

Through the 31st, I repeat that in part so the public hears and I know, there's a.

I

Lot of details on all that, just to remind people so as part of stage 2.

I

I wanted you all, I think know already, but on tuesday next week the 26th, the.

I

Day after memorial day, city hall will open again for limited public access. We.

I

Have continued to provide services to the public consistently with phone and.

I

Internet access and others, but there are some instances, some people who feel they.

I

Cannot do things other than in-person and while we continue to encourage.

I

People, if at all possible, to do local state business city city, business with.

I

Us on the phone or on the internet, we will be opening city hall. The plans are.

I

Tuesday morning public just you know, will be limited. They will be required to.

I

Sign in and get masks and masks will be provided as needed. There will there will.

I

Only be access in the lobby and any public business that needs to be done.

I

The city employee will come to the lobby with appropriate, distancing and other.

I

Protocols and physical separation to provide those services, so that will.

I

Begin on the 26th we continue. As of today, I will report the health.

I

Information locally remains positive. We have continued low hospitalizations in.

I

Our area and we have continued low incidence of positive tests for those.

I

Who are, we will continue to rely on that data? We.

I

Continue to meet regularly three times a week with our partners in the health.

I

System county system iu, iu health, as chairman president boland noted the.

I

Governor just today announced plans to move to stage three actually two days.

I

Early beginning friday, this week stage three.

I

The primary changes and details are available on the state web site stage.

I

Three primary changes is it: it allows the opening of gyms and fitness centers.

I

It allows the opening of movie theaters some other items and then one additional.

I

Major step it allows social gatherings to go from 25 to 100. Now I will say I.

I

Have real concerns about the speed of those changes that govern most of.

I

Indiana, some of those we, I will just express some concerns about the speeding.

I

Locally, I believe we will continue to be cautious and incremental here, focusing.

I

On what the data tell us and we've, we know we're in our state q. The current.

I

Situation through may 31st and next week, in collaboration with the county, will.

I

Expect to hear some plans for if and when we might move forward and how and.

I

Whether there might be changes from that so happy to take questions about that.

I

When we get to it, I I just want to note one other thing for you all. I know.

I

Probably are aware, but the public as well, the state did do what's called.

I

Prevalence testing, where we tested through a fairbanks institute and the.

I

State health tested nearly 5000 randomly selected hoosiers to try to see what's.

I

The actual situation, not just those who have symptoms and show up for tests but.

I

Just a random selection and that random selection showed 2.8 percent of those.

I

Who were tested had either had co vyd symptoms at the time where they had.

I

Antibodies indicating they had been sick that number significant.

I

2.8% because it's about 11 times the amount of those who've been diagnosed.

I

With the disease, a lot of people have the disease that we don't know about, and.

I

In fact, that test also showed almost half 45% of those tested positive had no.

I

Symptoms, what that tells us is a lot of us in our community in our state, are.

I

Have been infected and may be infectious with absolutely no idea that we are with.

I

No symptoms. That means we really need to be careful and continue the distance and.

I

Continue: the masking continue the hygiene of hand-washing and staying home.

I

If you're sick, if you do feel symptoms another, it just reminds us that we.

I

Really need to be careful and vigilant about this as we go forward, so I want to.

I

Encourage that and remind people that I'm gonna hand it.

I

Off as usual to representatives of a couple really important work groups, the.

I

Economic stabilization and recovery, which is brought, I believe, pat east, is.

I

Going to be speaking after alex crowley to help update us on the terrific work.

I

They've done and beverly kelly calendar anderson will also update us on the work.

I

Of the social services working group, which also has been just doing some very.

I

Very important and impactful work in our community and I'll be happy to take.

I

Questions as they conclude their reports thanks very much. Thank you. Mr. crowley,.

A

Thank you alex crowley, director of economic, sustainable development thanks.

J

Mayor hamilton I'll be very brief, because I want to give pat east maximum.

J

Time to present and I'm happy to answer questions at the end, so let me start by.

J

Thanking councilmember scambler e for her work on the on the working group.

J

She's been great and really helpful in that process, and also to jeff akin from.

J

The county who's been helpful as well and and, of course, the work of the.

J

Working group itself so, as you may have seen, we sent through a document that.

J

Updates council on some summary details of the rapid response funding. You know.

J

High-Level summary is that there's about 1.3 million dollars that has been allocated out, of which just shy of about a million.

J

Is from the food and beverage so we're more or less on pace with what we.

J

Thought would be prudent and helpful in the process and we we do retain some of.

J

That funding for potential future needs the the rapid response fund loan program.

J

Is still open and accepting applications and we're processing them every day, so.

J

That will continue, but it's good to have some reserve, because we do expect that.

J

There might be a future need for that, and you know the the economic.

J

Stabilization recovery working group continues to work done only on the rapid.

J

Response both funding and non funding. The non funding is what pat will talk.

J

About, but also on the reopening process, which you heard about last week and and.

J

The long-term planning, so we look forward to asking some other members, the.

J

Group to present to you in future reports, but for right now I would love.

J

To turn it over to pat, to talk about the great work that the mills been doing as.

J

Well, as entrepreneurs in the community to support the the activities currently.

J

In place, and also for coming so pat if you're ready to go I'll I'll turn, it.

J

Over to you all right, thank you alex and thank you to council for allowing me to.

K

Present tonight on the mill, our staff has been really hard at work, not only.

K

Since we started stay in place, we continue to help entrepreneurs, despite.

K

Being closed but we're getting ready to reopen on june 1st, so just about ten.

K

Days away, so I really appreciate this opportunity.

K

Highlight all the important work that my team is doing by way background the.

K

Mills, a fabulous modern co-working space in incubator space that the city helped.

K

Bring into existence a couple of years ago, we operate as a 501 c 3 and our.

K

Customers pay us a monthly membership fee to access our amenities, so 40-plus.

K

Open co-working spaces to furnish lounge areas, a cafe and seating area, 30 seat.

K

Classroom for programming a podcast studio conference rooms call boost in a.

K

Modern and industrial two-story event space. Our mission is to.

K

Launch and accelerate high potential companies and our vision is to become.

K

The center of co-working and entrepreneurship in indiana, we believe.

K

That startup creation will be how we lift ourselves from this economic crisis.

K

More on that, a little bit later, as I mentioned, we've been closed since.

K

Mid-March but our staff has continued to work to support all of our members.

K

Virtually among other things, we continue to hold monthly xoom networking meetings.

K

We offer coaching sessions we're working with iu on placing interns that have had.

K

Their internships cancelled this summer we're consulting companies on how to.

K

Conduct layoffs, if they, if they are in that situation and we we helped a lot of.

K

Companies apply for the payroll protection act and, of course, ppp is the.

K

The federal government's is the program that the federal government created to.

K

Help businesses put more money in the hands of workers by continuing to pay.

K

Them in lieu of doing a layoff along with a bunch of other folks, I worked on.

K

The mayor's yes in our committee, the working group that make policy.

K

Recommendations and ultimately came up with the rapid response fund. We realized.

K

That businesses were gonna need funding much quicker than what the ppp was gonna.

K

Be able to give them, we knew there'd, be delays in processing because they were.

K

Trying to process a decade's worth of loans within 30 days, so I'm really proud.

K

Of the work that the esn are did per person were, our pool of capital is two.

K

Times that of other cities, and we were able to deposit the money within days.

K

Instead of weeks or months, two technical projects that came out of yes, yes and.

K

Our were asked the mill, org and open for bloomington comso estimate. Org is a.

K

Website where small business owners entrepreneurs founders can quite.

K

Literally call email or chat in describe their business problem and get answers.

K

From folks with backgrounds, ranging from venture capital to small.

K

Business we help 20 companies and a quarter of those applied for our rf open.

K

For bloomington comm is a interactive map that we created with restaurants, who.

K

Were operating during the stay in place order, so we partnered with 39 degrees.

K

North to build the website they're experts in mapping, we vetted nearly a.

K

Hundred different restaurants and over the last two months, more than a thousand.

K

People visited the site to be able to place orders with those restaurants.

K

So, as the mill begins to reopen we're, seeing demand for memberships increase.

K

Already the last week of growth has been equivalent to a typical creek ovid month.

K

So we're still 10 days away and we're already seeing growth, which is a really.

K

Good sign for obvious reasons and as our community begins to reopen, we.

K

Believe that the way to not only recover but emerge better than how we entered is.

K

Through startup creation- and so that's quite literally by creating companies in.

K

Specifically, high-growth companies that bring in dollars from outside the.

K

Community and pay high wage jobs, so this is, this has always been the mills.

K

Mission, but we're doubling down on that. We think it's very important that we we.

K

We do this even more as we come out of this stay in place, or so we've engaged.

K

And nationally recognized a pre accelerator program to help accelerate a.

K

Select group of companies, growth and we're hiring ahead of accelerator.

K

Programming as well, so this is an example. One of the responsibilities will.

K

Be to liaised with the fire starter program at purdue at westgate, which.

K

Quite literally helps people determine whether or not their business ideas are.

K

Good and figure out whether or not there's a business model that will.

K

Support high growth. Lastly, to close, my my team has worked really hard over the.

K

Last two years, opening the mill getting everything.

K

Ready growing membership we're the fastest growing co-working space in the.

K

State, but especially over the last two months, to ensure we're in a position.

K

Where we can help our companies grow and play.

K

A central role in blumpkins comeback. So thank you again for inviting me to let.

K

Everyone know about my team support work. Thank you. Thank you that mr. crowley is.

A

Already spoken now we go to his calendar anderson.

L

Yeah muted yeah thank you. Beverly calendar anderson with the community and.

L

Family resources, department and I have been working with the social services.

L

Working group trying to guarantee that the social services safety net did not.

L

Break and actually the group this week completed their very last, the last piece.

L

Of the initial research that they were doing, and so it's our plan to have them.

L

Come before you within the next week or two to give a full report. But I will say.

L

That some of the priorities that we've identified in the areas of food and.

L

Personal health and safety, childcare and shelter we have shared with area funders.

L

Because there are a lot of funding opportunities happening in the area of.

L

Social services- and so we've shared those priorities so that they would be.

L

Available as people are looking at responding to kovach, 19 and and looking.

L

At putting funding behind some of these projects, and so hopefully that will help.

L

Get some of this some of the work done.

L

Food still is a big priority and, and our food service providers are are working.

L

Really hard one of the things that's going to be coming up this week on.

L

Saturday, from 10:00 to 2:00 at at the mall college mall, is that the hoosier.

L

Hills, food bank is doing a community, cares food distribution and that's for.

L

Anyone in need of food everybody's welcome; they don't have to have any.

L

Proof of id or income, and so they can just go and they'll.

L

They'll get two boxes, one with fresh produce and one with dry goods; and so.

L

That's that's something that's happening. The other thing that is coming out of.

L

This group is trying to share resources because, as we're moving from a crisis.

L

Period and things are starting to open up, there will be people in need who may.

L

Not know how to get resources may not know where to go, and so we not we but.

L

There will be a canvass of neighborhoods with door hangers that help people.

L

Understand how to get snap, how to apply for snap benefits? What kind of resources.

L

Are available like helping bloomington, monroe or 2 1, 1 and so neighborhoods can.

L

Actually request door hangers, and so this will be going out through.

L

Neighborhood associations in kona and and some other things, but they can.

L

Actually request door hangers and then share them with their neighbors. In this.

L

Way, neighbors can help other neighbors, and so, if they are things that I may know as as your neighbor, but you don't it's just.

L

A way for them to be connected and help one another, and I just really wanted to.

L

Thank south central community action programme, the volunteer network and.

L

Housing- and they were the development department because they put this together and really trying to get that information out to people and also.

L

Inform people about snap benefits and how they are able to apply for that and.

L

What the eligibility is, and so the isolation shelter continues to function.

L

Its continuing to see a low census there, we are not seeing a lot of we're, not.

L

Seeing a lot of not only nothing a lot of positives, but not seeing a lot of.

L

People that are being tested not presenting with the symptoms, and so that's a good thing with the isolation shelter continues to function.

L

Shall we provide a childcare for through this group, childcare for essential.

L

Workers and now looking into the summer, because there will be opportunities as.

L

People are going back to work, they will need more opportunities for childcare.

L

And so we're working with childcare providers for that and then the agencies.

L

That provide food continue to meet as a group provide resources for one another.

L

Understanding what their needs are and if they can share they do and then we.

L

Recently had the most recent meeting we had and research that was done was.

L

Around personal health and safety, where we talked to folks around the areas of.

L

Mental health and domestic violence and personal hygiene and safety and and so.

L

That white paper will be coming out. Well is with the mayor and now I'll be.

L

Sharing that so, hopefully, like I said within the next week or two we'll give a.

L

Full report with members of that committee, but I'm happy to take any.

L

Questions that anybody might have, thank you, miss calendar anderson and with that.

A

I'll open up the floor to questions from members to anyone to the administration.

A

That just spoke to the mayor, mr. crowley, mr. anderson or to mr. east, from the.

A

Mill are there any questions, counseling bruce campbell larry. Thank you. This.

M

Question is directed to mr. crowley just to make sure that we keep this issue.

M

Kind of front and center, as we think about this, I appreciated your sharing a.

M

Business demographics on women and minority-owned that applied to our I was.

M

Pleased to see the number of women-owned businesses it seems like the area are.

M

Reaching that population, could you comment on the others as well, and what.

M

Are your impressions? Are you seeing the level of participation vote some of the.

M

Outreach efforts, successful, did you come in it.

M

Sure so I agree, I think it's encouraging to see the the number of women-owned.

J

Businesses pretty strong in this community, which is great and we're.

J

Seeing some good good results from that, I would say that you know. While we are.

J

Slightly, you know over performing on average demographic data.

J

In terms of minority-owned businesses, we feel like we can still push to over.

J

Perform on that even further and we're you know, sort of anecdotally just see.

J

Understand, I think, we're worse we're trying to spend more. I'm an effort to.

J

Get people over the finish line? Yes, in instances where we're seeing.

J

Minority-Owned businesses and you know, and and and so we're really focusing on.

J

That, during during the process of taking someone's application and moving them.

J

From pure application into an approval through the approval process and to the.

J

Final approval, so we are we're doing some extra work on that, but I think we.

J

Can probably do a better job still reaching out into communities that may.

J

Not yet be understanding the opportunity that exists here and seeing if we can do.

J

Better with it with that group, you know there are particular strategies that.

M

You've discussed internally well, yeah, I mean I mean you know again. I think what.

J

We're doing is we're reviewing applications very carefully and, and I'm.

J

Flagging you know so so an application that gets in the door. The strategy is.

J

Let's do everything we can to make sure that that particular applicant has all.

J

The information that's necessary to get them past to the final point, so that.

J

That's more on the someone's already applied and then in terms of just.

J

Reaching out we're just trying to pound, you know the marketplace and make sure.

J

Everybody knows about what's going on and and have done some work with you.

J

Know some of our colleagues to try to get that out the door, we're also trying to do as much publicity about those as we can. So it's a little bit of an art.

J

Not a science, but you know if the numbers tell a story.

J

We're being reasonably successful, I think, and we just have to keep plugging.

J

Away at it great, thank you. Thank you further.

A

Questions from members, council, member piedmont, smith,.

F

Yes, I wanted to ask about the opening up of parks, and especially restrooms and.

F

Parks, I know that people have been making good use of our parks with social.

F

Distancing mostly, but there is a question about when the restrooms will.

F

Be open which of course, will help with hand-washing, and it will also help.

F

People experiencing homelessness. I wonder if anybody can speak to that.

F

I can I can begin with that. Thank you. As you know, the parks department can hear.

I

Me right: yeah. The parks department is working assiduously daily to figure out the whole range of services that can safely.

I

Be open from pools to to playgrounds to camps and and including restrooms there.

I

Of course is concerned about the need to sanitize quite more intensively than we.

I

Have consistently in the in the bathrooms, but we're going to continue to.

I

Do all that we can on that? We also are working very closely, as you know, through.

I

The social services committee and others with all the providers who serve people.

I

Experiencing homelessness, to do all we can with kits and sanitation kits and of.

I

Course, the the isolation and sleeping areas that we're trying to line up. But I.

I

I'll continue to work with the parks department on that, you probably also.

I

Know we are building new public restrooms at the fort regurge. The.

I

Downtown transit center, whose opening date, I I'm afraid I don't know off the.

I

Off the top of my head, but will be soon that will also open up. It just requires.

I

Extra personnel and and very frequent sanitation to try to make sure if I stay.

I

Safe in those situations, does that conclude your.

A

Question, yes, I suppose the answer is they're working on it. Okay,.

A

Thank you. That's what we're smith you're, muted reading there you go is that soon.

N

As I started talking hi mrs. callendar anderson, can you can you.

N

Give me a feeling for: do you think we're gonna have enough daycare for family.

N

Parents who are going back to work or is that something that just is gonna, have.

N

To play itself out, as we get back towards normal.

N

um If the the quick answer is, I'm I'm not sure because it may have to play.

L

Itself out, we prepared for essential workers and did surveys with employers.

L

And- and you know we and had slots available and very few people took.

L

Advantage of those we part of it, maybe because there were so many companies who.

L

Were allowing work at home that it became an issue where it? You know the.

L

Childcare actually wasn't needed, and so I you know we hope to have enough and in.

L

Places like boys and girls, club and the private childcare facilities are.

L

Preparing for it, but I guess we'll just we'll- have to see who who comes back and.

L

Win- and we may not even know until you know we get into the summer, because you.

L

Know it would, depending on when people actually are going back into the work.

L

Place but certainly our parks and rec department, you know, will have their.

L

Facilities open boys and girls club so yeah it's hard to tell it's very hard.

N

To tell very hard to tell in if and if members of the public want to find out.

N

Where childcare might exist, they would call so they would call smart start.

L

Which is with the community foundation of bloomington monroe county.

L

But they know all the childcare slots that what most of us know you know that.

L

Would be available also would know of any financial assistance that might be.

L

Available for people that would need it great. Thank you very much for that. I.

N

Appreciate you, hmm thank you guys, we're if any other questions from members for.

A

The administration's report, that's our sins. Thank you. First thing, I'd like to.

H

Say is um I just wanna say thank you to all the groups that have been working.

H

The continuity on city government group, mr. alice crowley's group, miss beverly.

H

Calendar anderson's group thank mr. patty's for the report this evening and.

H

So many community groups that are stepping up to to make us all proud to.

H

Be bluemont onehans. My question is to mr. crowley earlier in your discussion.

H

With regard to minority owned businesses- and I just wasn't clear on one thing but.

H

You use the term overperform and we'd like to over even more over performance.

H

So, can you give me a sense of what you mean by that terminology overperform.

H

Yeah I mean so one of the one of the things that we're doing is we're.

J

Measuring right, so we want to measure when one of the reasons why it's important to keep an eye on on and ask the question. Who is what kind of.

J

Business and and then gather that data and measure. It is because we want to try.

J

To figure out you know, are we are we doing a reasonably good job at reaching.

J

Various types of businesses and business owner types, and so when I, when I look.

J

When I say / / /, for my I mean that the you know, if you just look at it.

J

Proportionately, as a percentage of the population, then then I think we're doing.

J

A slightly better than then that just proportionate representation that.

J

Doesn't mean that that's adequate because in fact, a lot of those.

J

Businesses who are in underserved communities our businesses that have.

J

Difficulty sometimes accessing capital, and so.

J

It's not good enough just to be, you know, matching the proportionate.

J

Representation for us it's important to over, perform that that that proportion.

J

And actually do a better job and a more significant job reaching populations.

J

Because they are probably less likely to be taking advantage of an eligible for.

J

Funding sources that might be sort of eligible to other business types so for.

J

Us you know, the most important thing is to number one measure, because you can't.

J

Improve unless you measure- and so it's important for us to measure that and.

J

Then also to see, relatively speaking, how that's going against what a normal.

J

Performance level is, and it's a it's critically important for us to go well.

J

Beyond that, to make sure that we're helping people who you know probably.

J

Need as much help as possible- and that's that's true of different types of.

J

Business ownership, but certainly among the minority business owned population.

J

Thank you. Thank you, councillor sims, any other.

A

Questions from members before we move on to the next item.

A

Councillor, piedmont, smith. Yes, I wanted to ask about the fabric mass drive. I.

F

Heard that it is moving to the banneker community center.

F

I'm just curious: does that mean the banneker community center is not going.

F

To be opening for activities for children at the same schedule as the.

F

Allison jukebox, I'm just wondering there's any further information that can.

F

Be provided there, I suppose this is for the mayor. Yeah, just checking out enough.

I

Beverley meadows, that or I was waiting to be unmuted the so the bass drive is.

L

Moving to banneker banneker is going to be used as a my understanding of food.

L

Distribution center for parks and recs other programs, this.

L

Summer, and so they won't need the entire building, because they do have some.

L

Renovation going on in the building, so they won't need the entire building for.

L

Programming so they're going to use it for food distribution to their other.

L

Programs, and so we were able to use part of manica for the food for the fabric.

L

Mass drive and- and it was enough space- it was the amount of space that they.

L

Needed and so it worked out well for them as well.

L

I think I think you'll be hearing. There's some exciting news coming about.

I

Expanded support for programming and in banneker, I think, I'm probably not.

I

Supposed to say anything about that tonight, but just keep watching the news for that too. We're we're certainly excited about that as a location and.

I

Facility for really important services to the community. Thank you. Thank you. Any.

A

Other questions, if not, I want to thank everyone from administration and mr.

A

East for their reports- and we very much appreciate the work that you're doing.

A

Thanks for the opportunity we have on ok back now. Why can't I never keep the.

A

Agenda where's, my this miss okie monsters. Could you please find it? I had.

A

It on my screen now it's gone.

O

Ok, we're going out to the his city, which is historic, site and structured survey,.

A

Mr. rudy rich, I think, is next. Is he here? Yes, hello? Yes, hello, please go ahead. All.

A

Right, I just wanna give you a little context here before I begin kind of what.

P

We're talking about how with city operations so that we have this list of.

P

Historic sites and structures we use this list facilitate the demolition.

P

Delay ordinance in the past, the city has adopted this. Whatever the state list was.

P

So pure, luckily, the state conducts historic.

P

Resource surveys in counties throughout india and we have just used the state.

P

Historic survey from monroe county to facilitate demolition delay review in.

P

The past the most recent state survey was done in 2015. You guys may know what.

P

Cloacal has the shard survey. So what happened? Was the city asked bloomington.

P

Restorations inc, which is a local historic preservation, nonprofit group to.

P

Essentially, resurvey take a second look at the state survey that was done in.

P

2015 we felt that having local expertise might create more accurate results and.

P

Survey data, thus, you know creating a better ordinance running a better.

P

Demolition delay ordinance so see. Wyatt he's the director.

P

Eri, steve wyatt really directed the survey. He did most. The survey work.

P

Himself and this survey was completed in 2018, the historic preservation.

P

Commission has recently adopted the data that came out of that bri resurvey to be.

P

Used as the official bloomington historic sites and structures list, which.

P

Is what we used as a demolition delay review? So essentially we are no longer.

P

Using the state shard at facilitate the emotional, a review we are using, the.

P

Information garnered from the 2018 pri resurvey to facilitate demolition delay.

P

Review so I'll turn it over to steve. Why he's going to give a very brief report.

P

On you know the results of that survey so steve. Thank you, sir. It's quite mr.

A

A

You're muted, even though you don't look like you're muted, we can't hear you yeah.

A

Go right ahead: okay! Well, like connor said we were tasked with researching the.

Q

City's historic architecture- I'm gonna have a little powerpoint here to show.

Q

You what we came up with can we allow him to share screen mr. lucas, I believe.

R

He should be there. You yep, I used to my home edition up powerpoint, slideshow and.

Q

Start here we go okay, so here we have a table that shows what we came up with.

Q

When we looked at the state's survey, this yard we visited and reevaluated all.

Q

Of 5650, h, r, rated properties, driving or walking block by block looking at each.

Q

Property in deciding whether we agree with the char grading or disagreed we.

Q

Also found historic properties that were not included in chard and the properties.

Q

Are all rated outstanding, notable contributing or non contributing, but he.

Q

Disagreed with the state ratings on 335 properties or about 6% of the ratings.

Q

234 of those 335 or rated contributing a char that we found to be.

Q

Non-Contributing of these 156 simply lacked historic integrity already been.

Q

Remodeled extensively in the last few years, since the chard survey got some.

Q

Example, so here's one, let's see on south lincoln that had been changed quite a.

Q

Bit and thought didn't look historic anymore.

Q

Another on walker street.

Q

Also, we found ones that had been remodeled just since the 2015 short.

Q

Survey this one on see it's on north jefferson street before after and this.

Q

One on dixie east dixie, before and after and this one let's see this is on south.

Q

Brooks before and after and this is why please slow down.

A

Just a little bit to make up for lag time. Okay, sir there's one on brooks.

Q

Before and then after and here's the one on 13th before and.

Q

After so, they changed so much that they didn't look historic anymore. So in the.

Q

Last few years since charge, many properties has been demolished too. At.

Q

The time we completed the survey, a total of 43 were gone, including this house on.

Q

10Th street east 10th and another six historic rated structure census such as.

Q

The old gas station on bloomfield road were relocated to new sites and most of.

Q

Those ones that were relocated we deemed to be contributing on their new sites.

Q

Ten other structures that were listed in chard we found were too new to be.

Q

Historic, for example, this one on south downs was built in 1980. It looks.

Q

Convincing, but it's not old, and this one also the same situation it's on west. It.

Q

Was constructed in 1995, some properties were surveyed twice by the shark chart.

Q

Had more than one surveyor doing the work, so they didn't necessarily catch.

Q

What other people did so? 27 properties were listed twice, and one of them got a.

Q

Different rating by a different surveyor, this one was rated notable audible by.

Q

One surveyor and contributing by another- and we agree with the one who said.

Q

Notable we found that oklahomans were not.

Q

In tributing sorry had listed, let's see 18 of them but as non-permanent russians.

Q

We thought they should not be included, see. We also found its. We found ones.

Q

Listed not contributing and story that we thought were contributing like here's.

Q

One on south park avenue one on east first street and one on west kirkwood.

Q

And sorry listed, this house was too new to be contributing, but we knew that.

Q

Despite the new foundation that it was an old house because we had been.

Q

Involved in saving it from north college avenue many years ago there it is on the.

Q

Small website from the fort moving, they also had a number of properties that.

Q

They had this non-contributing that we thought we're contributing and they able.

Q

To have the codes of editions, here's one on east wiley street that they made not.

Q

Contributing but we found that the original house was still largely intact.

Q

And she continued to be contributing. Here's another one on north rogers.

Q

Street we also upgraded a property from not contributing to contributing that.

Q

Had been altered on the outside, but it was historic because of who had lived.

Q

There this is a childhood home of meg cabot, the author of the princess diaries.

Q

We also found that five properties we raised to contributing that were listed.

Q

Not contributing these are ones that have been moved to make way for the iu's.

Q

I even how you move these to make way for the new pg house. This is the one.

Q

Example on 8th street and within the spectrum of contributing to.

Q

Outstandingly change some ratings, this one had been rated outstanding in 2015.

Q

By shard, but the windows had been replaced, probably since then, and so they.

Q

No longer was outstanding. We thought it's more notable at this point, because.

Q

Of the loss of character from the windows, that's on first street.

Q

We also upgraded some 14 of them from contributing to notable, including this.

Q

One on north maple street this one on south jordan, this one on east 6th, slow.

Q

Slower mr. wyatt, oh sorry, there's the one on south jordan and next is the one.

Q

I6 and we raised one other property for notable toss standing this one's on.

Q

North walnut, as we move through the neighborhoods, we found properties that.

Q

Were not listed and chard that we believe should have been included in total, we added 400 properties, our final product included a spreadsheet listing.

Q

6000 58 lines of properties with their chard ratings and whether we agreed or.

Q

Disagreed with the chard ratings and but we disagreed the rating we gave and why.

Q

We went for the ones we disagreed with, or added returned in 600 property survey.

Q

Information cards and site maps and more than 2,000 photographs. Thank you. Okay,.

A

Are there any questions for mr. herder at your for mr. wyatt about the updated.

A

Historic site and service structures survey: please raise your hand council.

A

Member piedmont smith, so how many properties are on the new serving I'll.

Q

Let connor answer that one so about 350 more than we're on the shard. Yes, thank.

F

You other questions for members. I thought I.

A

Have one I wanted to know like how so the net number of properties on the.

A

So the shard is a state thing, and this is the new bloomington historic sites.

A

And structures survey- I don't want to call it the shard, but there was a net.

A

Increase in the number of properties, but how many properties were added or.

A

Elevated and how many were were demoted roughly, I don't leave exactly. There were.

A

A number of demotions running right- I looked at my my totals here and actually.

Q

By time you deduct out the ones we deduct it and then add the new ones and.

Q

Look at just the contributing or higher structure, if not the non-contributing,.

Q

Which aren't ready to historic but they're listed in the survey because they're in historic neighborhoods? The total wasn't really up by that much.

Q

Chard and 2015 had it at. Let's see my five thousand 396 about the post post.

Q

Chard and well-thought-of had the number there, the five thousand twenty six and.

Q

It wasn't that much different in the original chard when you look just at the.

Q

Contributing notable now standing properties, I guess what I what I'd like.

A

To see is if there's a one or two page summary of the numbers that you.

A

Presented in the presentation so that we can review them at our leisure, is there.

A

I mean I know that, there's the survey itself, but are those numbers broken down.

A

Somewhere in writing, yeah that that's fine, I showed has a lot of that, and it.

Q

May have been adjusted a little bit by changes since the resurvey was completed.

Q

Almost two years ago, but I can get with connor and we can get firm numbers well.

A

It'd be nice to see the slideshow and maybe have some annotation of the.

A

Things that you cited, I don't know I mean if it's already and the report that.

A

Can just read the report, but it's those details that you said tonight like they.

A

Went by pretty quickly, as did the numbers you know, I think it would be.

A

Edifying to be able to sit and read them just some way that you all can compile.

A

That send, along and along the slides, okay, well.

A

Thank you. If there's no other questions, we will move now to the next time. Mr.

F

President, oh that's what we're p-pod smith go ahead. I move that the council.

F

Direct the clerk of the council to keep two copies of the city's historic sites.

F

And structures sir gray formerly referred to as indiana historic sites,.

F

And structures survey, : 2001 city of bloomington interim report as hereafter.

F

Am editor replaced on file in the office of the city, clerk for public inspection.

F

Pursuant to indiana code 36 one five, four and bloomington municipal code.

F

8.0 8.06. Second, we have a motion and a second any discussion on this, so this is.

F

Just to make it official that we are now adopting the newly revised bloomington.

F

Specific survey of historic structures: well, I have at least one question about.

A

The motion, so does anybody else have a question about it? The question I have is.

A

So does this officially or mr. simms go ahead? Thank you.

H

I guess um I was just wondering about the word adopting as opposed to.

H

Receiving the report is there any fundamental difference with that.

H

Terminology, I'm actually, the motion doesn't have either of those words in it.

F

We just direct the clerk to keep two copies on file for public inspection. I.

F

See mr. lucas, with his hand, raised so the council doesn't actually need to.

R

Take any action to adopt or receive this report, the 2001 report that isabel.

R

Mention or councilmember piedmont smith mentioned has been adopted and.

R

Incorporated in by reference into our code.

R

All these years and as amendments or changes to that survey are made, they are.

R

Automatically incorporated into our code already so the only action the council.

R

Needs to take tonight is to simply acknowledge that the survey has been.

R

Updated and direct the clerk to place two copies on file so that we can comply.

R

With both our local and state code obligations, mr. simms, that answer your.

A

Question yes, I did thank you. Thank you. Any.

A

Further questions on this motion, so the question I had was I: it seems that we've.

A

Been operating under an interim survey for 19 years does this officially.

A

Somehow make our survey legit now I mean it, wasn't that like it wasn't it too.

A

Legit before, but I'm curious about that word, connor.

R

May know more about why that original survey was titled that but I'll defer to.

R

Connor, if he knows why I was called the introducer heard, rich what'd, you say so.

P

It was called report because these surveys are never meant to be permanent.

P

You know the environment around us always changing, and so we need to.

P

Constantly update the survey to reflect the accurate condition of the historic.

P

Structures so they're, you know technically always interim they'll be updated in the future, but you can see why the word might be confusing sure.

A

Yeah, so, okay, so it's neither interim nor permanent. It's just the survey now. Okay,.

A

That satisfies my curiosity, customer rallo, I'm a little confused because it.

C

Seems to me that this change in the in the report or this change in the shard.

C

Start preservation, the the the types of historic preservation, the the level of.

C

Historic preservation has implications in terms of property use.

C

Doesn't require action by the council, formal action, mr. lucas, no, our code.

R

States that the survey back in 2001, I believe, was adopted as amended or.

R

Changed thereafter, I believe this survey is approved by the historic preservation.

R

Commission connor can correct me if I'm wrong on that, but the council doesn't.

R

Need to, and philip is here as well- maybe she can comment. Yes, even under state law.

S

The adoption thinks this is done by the commission. Commission adopts a survey.

S

The council's role is when the commission wants to recommend one or.

S

More structures and creates a map you all adopt the map, so the survey is.

S

Within the purview of the commission to do so mr. rollo well, mr. herrera could.

C

You take us a bit through so I happen to live in a structure that has moved from.

C

Contributing to notable and then has implications for my property. And when I.

C

Say choose to upgrade the windows. I go to the historic preservation commission.

C

And on the basis of their determination- and they they're the ones who basically.

C

Institute the binding restriction- I I thought it was up to the council's. It.

C

Was the countless prerogative delay the way the demolition really ordnance works?.

P

A building permit for something changing your windows. You don't need a building.

P

Permit for that, but if you're doing some kind of construction or addition or.

P

Large project on your house, you need a building permit.

P

Well, that permanent will go through the city planning, they would say.

P

Oh, look on the bloomington historic sites and structures list. Does the scope.

P

Of work and the reigning of the structure qualified this for a.

P

Demolition delay review. The answer is yes, we will start a demolition delay.

P

Review in that case, this sort of preservation- commission has two choices.

P

They can release it and you get your permit and do your work or they can.

P

Recommend to the council, historic designation, so ultimately it would be.

P

The council choice to designate that structure, thus preventing that building.

P

From occurring, I see okay, thank you for that clarification, okay, any other.

A

Questions on the motion: what was the verb again? Customer piedmont, smith. We.

F

Just direct the clerk to keep two copies on hand for public consultation, all.

A

Right if there any any further questions, if not we'll, we can move to a vote so.

A

The course can we hit, but there's no need to call. It will simply go to a well.

A

The clerk please call the roll on version. That's member raleigh yeah, yes,.

D

Skimble larry, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you yep frozen parker, yeah sims. Yes,.

E

Boland, yes, piedmont, smith; yes, clarity! Yes, smith!.

N

Yes and sander, yes, thank you. That motion is adopted.

A

Thank you to mr. herr rich and to mr. wyatt for the presentation. Let's move on.

A

Now to reports from council committees: do we have any reports seeing then we'll.

A

Go now to report from the public, if you are present in the zoo meeting, to make.

A

To speak on an item, that's not on the agenda. Please use the raise hand.

A

Function and zoom or type in the chat and mr. lucas will acknowledge. If I see.

A

That we have at least two people who are here to speak three people now. Mr. lucas.

R

Believe mr. alexander was first so I muted him. He should be ready to go. Okay.

A

Mr. alexander, you have five minutes awesome thanks. I'm greg alexander as you.

T

Can imagine I found a lot of you reports with the city about sidewalk conditions.

T

Around town- and you know I wouldn't be talking to you- guys.

T

If those hadn't been largely unsuccessful as a mechanism to.

T

Unobstructed walks or a guarantee that they aren't blocked for construction for.

T

An extended period of time and I've been trying to figure out. Where do you.

T

Reports go when they die. You know what is the bureaucratic process that results.

T

In non action- and I found it- it's usually pretty easy to tell what.

T

Department they wind up in and that's actually been really a good heuristic.

T

For understanding what happens if they wind up in in public works, you know.

T

Those guys they've got no qualms about it. They they hate sidewalks, not because.

T

They hate pedestrians or any sort of malicious beliefs on their part. It's.

T

That their grandpa wasn't responsible for maintaining sidewalks. Why should.

T

They have to take on more responsibilities and from a labor.

T

Perspective that makes a lot of sense. Nobody wants a new aspect added to their.

T

Job but it's pervasive throughout the entire department from the guy that paints the lines on the road up to the director of the department. They will do.

T

Anything to avoid taking on this really dramatic new responsibility which, to.

T

Them looks like an unfunded mandate. Sometimes they wind up at housing a.

T

Neighborhood, that, as you can, is a complete failure, because housing, a.

T

Neighborhood doesn't care about transportation, you know they care about neighborhood beautification. They will it takes a month to do anything and then, if.

T

It looks good, they don't care if the sidewalk is obstructed. You know I.

T

Understand that that's housing, a neighborhood, you know, parks and rec. They.

T

Have a guy in parks and rec, he really hates the idea that any park facilities.

T

Should be used for bike or pedestrian transportation, he has a very narrow idea.

T

Of recreation and doesn't want any sort of transportation responsibility again.

T

That makes a lot of sense because it's parks and rec, you know they do get a lot.

T

Of money from the transportation budget, though so that's that's a kind of a.

T

Bummer and then planning and transportation- that's actually the people that I talk to and planning in transportation.

T

Almost uniformly, you can tell that they really want to do a good job, and my.

T

Biggest complaint would be that when they fail usually because they lack.

T

Authority they lack budget, they lack cooperation from public works or parks.

T

And rec, for example, when they fail, they usually if they come to you and tell you.

T

How it went they say, oh, we succeeded and I wish they could be more.

T

Straightforward about the fact that they ran into a brick wall and weren't able.

T

To make a good bike repair facility, but that brings me to my an example. You.

T

Report I've been complaining for a long time about the sidewalk at 11th and.

T

Fairview, that's one of the railroad crossings. Somebody was killed there about 15 years ago. It's a very important crossing because it's it's how I get my.

T

Kids to the park you know, and the sidewalk there is always just forever.

T

Been obstructed by a vegetation because the railroad doesn't care, you know and.

T

Last june, I reported that and a month ago nothing had still been done over.

T

That whole time nothing had been done a month ago. I look to see what happened to.

T

This report and it was closed last september, three months after I opened it.

T

It was closed and there was this notation from a planning and.

T

Transportation staff member- it said this was sent to indiana railroad. I didn't.

T

Know what to do with that? So I emailed the lady that wrote that you know do you.

T

Guys verify that it actually gets cleared up after you send it to indiana.

T

Railroad- and she told me that well she dodged that question, but she.

T

Told me that her whole team almost was all new hires. That there'd been some.

T

Turnover and they were still getting up to speed and that they would look into all these railroad crossings that are chronically.

T

Obstructed- and that was a month ago so two weeks ago, of course, nothing had.

T

Happened, I hope that didn't surprise anybody, and so I called planning in.

T

Transportation said, could somebody get back to me? Tell me, is this ever gonna be cleared and I got a call from one of those new hires. I mean it's great that.

T

They returned my calls, that's really above and beyond in some sense, but she.

T

Said that she had been calling the railroad and the railroad had stopped.

T

Returning her phone calls and that he's trying to do other other avenues, but.

T

That her hands were almost tied that almost all she could do was call the.

T

Railroad and then the railroad wouldn't return, her phone calls and I was really.

T

Curious actually one-minute ending in transportation was.

T

Even involved and because usually these kind of things wind up a housing.

T

Neighborhood, but so I wanted to know where she was in new york trip- was her.

T

Job title I looked her up and I found out she has a master's in urban planning.

T

And yet all we have her doing is playing phone tag with the railroad that she has.

T

No authority over and you can just try to put yourself in her shoes how.

T

Demoralizing that would be to have you know: professional education and all you.

T

Can do is play phone tag and, if she ever is in a position to make a decision that.

T

Depends on her professional judgment, she's gonna have that experience. She's.

T

Gonna say: does the city actually care about sidewalks and she's gonna know in.

T

Her bones, she's gonna know we don't care about sidewalks and, of course today that.

T

Sidewalk is still obstructed a full year after I made the initial report thanks.

T

For your time, thank you. That's your time. Next, mr. lucas, next up, we've got mr.

R

Randy paul, who should be unmuted and ready to go.

A

Mr. paul, you have five minutes. Yes, we can hear you go ahead. I do have to say.

U

That I appreciate mr. alexander how persistent he is about sidewalks. I share.

U

That concern it's nice to know that if I don't bring it up, he's certainly gonna.

U

Be there he's gonna talk about it, so thank you. I just wanted to talk to you a.

U

Little bit about what happens when you start beating in person again, the zoom.

U

Has been for many of us, the group I'm most concerned about are those with.

U

Disabilities, it's been wonderful, I go to any meeting.

U

I want you now where, before I couldn't, I've had access and I pray that many.

U

Places are gonna, stop doing zoom or stop doing some kind of remote viewing for us.

U

So that we won't have access to these meetings any longer so in january I.

U

Wrote the council on a snow? Is there a way to somehow make your meetings remote.

U

For those of us who physically just cannot get there, and actually you know, I.

U

Talked about disabilities, but his families with small children who can't.

U

Afford our babysitter to come to a meeting, but yet they want to comment.

U

They want to participate. I know that people on the council want public.

U

Participation- and I think you've got a mechanism here to do that. I just hope.

U

That when it's fanned, amick eases up or hopefully will be rivet at some point in.

U

Time that you don't go back to the old rules, you know the words new normal keep.

U

Popping up and there'll be use now, but this is something I think, and I hope you.

U

Consider the new normal that you can somehow continue to allow us to.

U

Participate in january most the feedback I got back to all council was this a.

U

Great idea, we'd love to we just don't know how to do it. It looks like you.

U

Figured out how to do it, but can we continue last point? Is I'm getting I'm.

U

Becoming seriously concerned about bloomington transit reports, I'm hearing.

U

Bad from people that I trust, friends and people I know are telling me that.

U

Typically, 50 percent of the people brought in bloomington trance are not.

U

Wearing masks and it's very hard to get the social distancing on the bus, I'm.

U

Concerned about what impact that has on the drivers, but I'm also going back to.

U

People with disabilities, those of us at high risk and jeopardized immune systems.

U

Really can't afford to go in a closed environment like that, where half the.

U

Population isn't paying attention to masks. I don't know I I talked to blow me.

U

To transit, they don't feel like they're in position where they can force people.

U

Who wear masks when they go on the bus? I don't know if this, because some of.

U

These people don't have access to mass weather. We somehow provide them access.

U

As they enter the bus, I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. I'm not.

U

Getting a lot of traction from people when I bring this up as a.

U

Concern, but I think it could be a huge problem for us and certainly for a.

U

Select group of us who just simply cannot afford to put ourselves in that.

U

Kind of environment, so I wanted to make you aware of it. The city in the county.

U

Has done a good job with kind of public service announcements, encouraging people.

U

To use masks, you know, at least if you could bring up the transit system, the.

U

Same you gotta write a bus put on a mask. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. lucas, we have.

A

Any more speakers- yes, mr. jim shelton, should be ready to.

R

Go mrs. shelton you'll have five minutes good evening council, jim shelton, with.

V

Chamber of commerce, I'm speaking tonight on behalf of court appointed special.

V

Advocates or casas concerts of volunteers who work with children who.

V

Have been abused or neglected by their parents and have therefore ended up in.

V

The juvenile court system- you may remember that at just about a year ago,.

V

We had gotten to the point that we had no backlog of children who needed casa.

V

Volunteer judge galvan the juvenile court judge for most cases, pointed out.

V

At that time, this would probably not stay that way that he had been through.

V

These cycles many times before and it turned out he was sure right. I think.

V

It's probably turned faster than he ever expected.

V

Probably because by the state dcs department has changed their standards.

V

For bringing the case and then because of the stress put on families by the.

V

Coab at 19, you can imagine the problems that parents are finding when they can't.

V

Provide income for taking care of their children and then they're frustrated by.

V

Their children not going to school and being with them at home all the time and.

V

Having to care for them or trying to make things work as a result, we've now.

V

Got 49 children waiting to have a casa and we're fear this number will increase.

V

As we open the society up and more people access.

V

Or interact with other families and find what has been going on there, we've got.

V

An increased incidence of parents returning or turning to drugs as a.

V

Result of the stress or becoming frustrating and abusing their children.

V

So we need people to volunteer to step up to help represent these children to.

V

Help advocate for them in court, we have a training session that will start in.

V

About a week and a half on 1 june, it will be a virtual training session. It.

V

Will be conducted by a zoom, you will not have to go to the cos office or interact.

V

With any people, in fact, constance right now are not interacting with people.

V

Everything is being done by assume or the equivalent, including court hearings.

V

So please out there, if you think you might be a good casso or if any of you.

V

Know people who you think would be a good kasam now would be a good time for.

V

Them to go to monroe county council or there's a frequently asked questions.

V

Page, where you can learn details and you can fill out an application or download.

V

An application fill it out and snail mail it in or drop it off and be part of.

V

This training, it will run june 1st through the 24th it'll, be monday westing's thursday evenings from 5:30 to 8:30, and it will.

V

Be conducted by a zoom, so please let folks know and thank you for letting me.

V

Contribute to that. Thank you. Mr. shelton appreciate it.

A

Are there any other members of the public would like to speak? Mr. lucas.

A

We've got a request from someone named david, who should have the ability to.

R

Unmute himself now mister, we need a full name. Would you please state your name.

R

Divisions within the police department, the synopsis is as follows as well hold.

F

On we need to vote on the motion first, I'm so sorry. I just got really excited.

D

Forgive me I apologize council member skimary.

D

Yeah rosenberger yeah sims, yes bowling. Yes,.

A

Teammates me: yes, laramie, yes, smith, yes, sandburg! Yes,.

D

Salaries for appointed officers non-union and asked me employees for all.

D

The departments of the city for the year 2020 regarding adding a position in the.

D

Information and technology services department and changing the title in one.

D

Position and the great and another position for two divisions within the.

D

Police department, the synopsis, is as follows: this ordinance amends ordinance.

D

1921, which fix the size for certain employees for the year 2020, the.

D

Ordinance makes changes for two positions in two divisions within the.

D

Police department and adds one position within the information and technology.

D

Services department, the administration committee recommendations to pass 4-0.

A

F

All right, mr. president, I move that ordinance 2008 be adopted. Thank you. We.

A

Have a motion in a second who is here to present ordinance 2008, miss shaw.

A

Caroline shot hr director, please go ahead good evening. Everyone. I hope you.

W

Can hear me okay, I left my earbuds in my office today. So I'm sound great okay.

W

Thank you, you loud and clear good. The dog may sound in a minute too, so bear.

W

With me, um thank you, amendment ordinance, amendment 2008 and in ordinance, 19 2001.

W

Which we did during the 2020 budget cycle- and we are asking to make three.

W

Changes to this ordinance, the first of which is in the ips department,.

W

Information technology services and that's adding a network and security.

W

Administrator position at a grade, eight, the organizational assessment.

W

Recommended a position dedicated to network and administration and security.

W

Recently and the it department and raishin agree, this is a critical need.

W

Position because the city is increasing network network security and broader.

W

Cybersecurity needs a 2020 fiscal impact that adding this position is.

W

Approximately forty four thousand dollars, including benefits and salary.

W

And then, secondly, their second and thoroughly, there are two positions that.

W

Are being changed in the police department, the first of which is the.

W

Telecommunications coordinator or training coordinator, rather in the.

W

Central emergency dispatch, which is a grade eight, no grade change here and.

W

That one will be retitled a telecommunications assistant manager and.

W

That's consistent with the actual job description they've been working from for the last couple years, so this is truly a housekeeping matter and we just.

W

Thought would be a good time to fix that so and then. Thirdly, the records.

W

Supervisor in the police department, which was was a grade eight or is.

W

Currently, our grade seven is was reviewed by the job evaluation committee.

W

During our typical process of scoring independently- and we decided that's.

W

Actually, a great eight position, any fiscal impact from that grade change is.

W

Anticipated to be minimal, I'm happy to take any questions at this time. Thank.

A

You for that presentation are there questions an ordinance 2008 from members.

A

Please raise your hand, councilman piedmont, smith. I just.

F

Wondered if we wanted to hear from the administration committee? Oh sorry, there.

A

Is an administration committee report which I have to pull up? I'm sorry.

A

Everyone, I can say if you will will add mr. simms. Thank you if he'd like for me.

A

To go over it, would you please I appreciate that? Yes, I would. This is a.

H

Report from the administration committee that met in monday may 18th at 9:00 a.m.

H

Of course, the chair is mr. steve boland number one transition for the council.

H

Office due to the retirement of the council attorney slash admin operator. No mr. simms is not the one. No, this is dead. That was meeting.

A

Was cancelled and we're talking about from last wednesday, that's the.

A

I have it here, I think, may 13th sorry may 13th right. Okay, I have it here. The.

A

Committee met last week for 15 minutes. We heard a presentation from miss shaw.

A

Members of the committee asked a few questions regarding the fiscal impact of.

A

The changes, the largest impact, came from the addition of a new position. We act.

A

Yes, department and the committee recommended do pass to the vote of 4-0.

A

This is a very perfunctory report and it just took me a while to to pull it up.

A

But that's the entirety of the admin committee's report on this ordinance now.

A

Are there any questions from members either for the ms shaw or for the admin.

A

Committee, seeing no questions counselor people on smith, I have to ask.

F

When you say, there's just a minimum financial impact on the records division.

F

Staff title and great change: what do you mean just a minimum, a minimal, so this.

W

Position I mean there's a lot of movement. There was this position has.

W

Been vacant for a while and then so there's savings there and by the end of.

W

The year we think the any change any impact will be moving. I can't tell you.

W

Exactly what that is at this point? But like it's not a lot of money, because if.

W

You look at our grades, our pay grades. I believe it difference with a grade. Seven.

W

And a grade eight with the high end, is about forty five hundred dollars so.

W

There's not there's not a big big difference, and it depends on who you.

W

Hired to the position and their experience, skills and abilities and what's their paid, so um that makes sense, but the maximum difference would be that.

F

Forty five hundred dollars- and I don't want to put a number on it because it.

W

Depends on who is in the position and who's replaced in the position. It's.

W

There a lot of variables, so if this position is currently vacant, it was at.

W

The time we produced this legislation, I don't believe it is now so all right.

F

Thank you that actually leads to a follow-up question for me. Did the person.

A

Who get hired, who got hired what they were? They aware that the position was in.

A

The process of being upgraded- I don't know that answer, I'm sorry, okay, okay,.

A

Thank you any further questions for miss shaw or.

A

For the admin committee, seeing none we'll go to the public for comment on.

A

Ordinance 2008 is remember. The public would like to address the council on.

A

This ordinance, if you, if so, please use the raise hand, function and zoom or type.

A

Into the chat, mr. lucas, do you see anybody who has.

A

Raised their hand, I do not know okay, we'll come back to the council for.

A

Debate is there any final comment on ordinance 2008 going once going twice.

A

Alright, we'll call for it. I just wanted to say I'm pleased to see that we will.

F

F

F

Appropriation ordinance 2002 be adopted. Thank you. We have a motion in a second.

A

Here to present, who is here to present 2002 mr. jeff, underwood city controller.

A

Who has been unmuted and then ari, muted, again.

A

Can we unmute him one more time or he's gonna have to do semaphore there we go.

A

Mr. underwood, I believe there is a committee report on this one as well.

X

Before I present all right well then we'll go to the committee report. The.

A

Chair is kate rosenberger. Mr. rosenberger, would you please present the.

A

Report on appropriation, ordinance, 2002, sara, thank you. So we, the transportation.

G

Committee had its first meeting last witness, I think it was a big hit and we we discussed this appropriation ordinance.

G

So it has been summarized- and I think it's best for me to explain our.

G

Discussion by the different projects, instead of by the different signs, so the.

G

First project was that we talked about was a stair road, multi-use tap and.

G

Intersection improvement project- that's about that's appropriating about nine.

G

Hundred thousand dollars from the lid to do a match with an end grant for this.

G

One committee members asked questions about the funding, so whether this.

G

Special distribution fund was a one-time event or, if we'll be able to look at.

G

Using money from this again in the future, whether we might have access to.

G

These funds in the future. Sorry to said that and then whether interest accrued.

G

From the sun can be used for other types of projects, anybody on the committee can.

G

Correct me, if you think I'm getting this wrong, what we learned there is, you have.

G

To use the interest accrued for the same type of projects that are allowed under.

G

The grant and the fund, so we would have to stick to that. This project appeared.

G

Pretty non-controversial it's putting in a good addition of a multi-use tab and.

G

Then creating some added pedestrian and bike safety in the intersection of.

G

Mort's pike and fair road where cars speed on right turns it should slow them.

G

Down a little bit and maybe not substantially, but it's a move in the.

G

Right direction, we would say so I think folks are pretty much on board with that.

G

Second, project that we discussed is a repaving of college. Small road from east.

G

Third street of the north end and then more spike at the south end that the.

G

Appropriation would be transferring $386,000 and the commune of capital.

G

Development fund from capital to supplies to capital for category four.

G

Sorry, capital here we had a longer discussion and.

G

Committee members raised concerns about repaving this portion of college malraux.

G

Without looking at adding protected bike lanes, which is outlined in a.

G

Transportation plan some council members raised concerns about transferring money.

G

To road paving that instead could be directed to projects that are more in.

G

Line with our city goals and a compliment.

G

We definitely want to take advantage of the grant for that this project, but.

G

Potentially, looking at the funding source of our matching part is more so.

G

Out for debate, and so we had to bring this back to council because that had.

G

Already been planned and I think some some committee members would have liked.

G

To see a second transportation committee meeting and I think potentially that.

G

Could be up for debate here, so we could consider more options and dig a little.

G

Deeper this the due pass on this was to approved one abstained and one no vote.

G

No recognition, thank you, mr. underwood. Would you care to present yes, there's.

X

Not much left to present but I'll go quickly. As councilmember ozenberger said,.

X

And first item on the a board is a $900,000 appropriation. It's the only one.

X

Of the three that's an actual appropriation, this is out of the special.

X

List let lit special distribution fund under state law. The state is allowed to.

X

Keep a reserve for local income taxes; the reason they instituted. That was that.

X

Way, you would be always be guaranteed your distributions for the current.

X

Fiscal year yeah, it is there to backstop any drops in contributions which might.

X

Necessarily say: there's not enough money to distribute up to the budgeted and.

X

Approved amounts that was a very high reserve level, cities and towns and.

X

Counties all lobbied the state to reduce that to a more reasonable number, which.

X

They did so anytime. The state hits that amount.

X

They're required to make a special distribution, so this this was the first.

X

Distribution out of this fund, so they were very restrictive of, but you could.

X

Use it, for you could either go in your rainy day fund or you could create a.

X

Transportation special transportation fund, which is what we elected to do and.

X

As noted, that's restricted to.

X

Transportation projects- and we have primarily used that when there are no.

X

Other funds available for matching funds- and this will be the second time that.

X

We've requested funds out of that. Secondly, is a housekeeping item in the.

X

Motor vehicle highway fund a couple of years ago, the state moved to have that.

X

Bifurcated into two budgets, one that is specifically road only and then the.

X

Remainder which is allowed by the fund. So this is just a housekeeping item and.

X

We hope to correct that for the 21 budget, so that you actually will see.

X

Those two sub budgets and would approve those as animal resolution. So that's.

X

Basically, there's no new dollars, it's just making the sub account, which we've.

X

Already got set up and able to account for and then finally, as noted, a move.

X

From classification to to classification for of $386,000 in the cumulative.

X

Capital development fund to act as a match for the college, long road project.

X

My colleagues from planning and transportation and public works are here.

X

I'm happy to answer any questions related to the financing and before I.

X

Hand it over. I would like to thank jeff mcmillan, my deputy controller, who filled.

X

In for me, last week, as I was recovering from recent knee replacement surgery, so.

X

If you could see me from left legs- and you see a nice big ice pack on my knee.

X

I've seen it away yeah, congratulations on. Finally getting that done. I know that.

A

The there was postponed after the lockdown so glad you're on the way back.

A

To health, thank you. Okay. Are there questions on the appropriation ordinance.

A

Or the committee report from members.

A

No questions all right, counselor people on smith. Yes, my question is about the.

F

Use of the accumulative capital development fund for the match for three.

F

Hundred eighty six thousand dollars for the college mile road repaving, I'm.

F

Wondering why the match wasn't taken from the regular repaving budget of the.

F

City, but rather is being sought from the cume cab fund and I believe, adam wasted.

X

Is on the call all at him and that hello, mr. wesson.

A

Can we unmute him there? We go yes, hey folks, so this was the main reason to.

Y

Choose this fund for our our match was the availability of funds. These funds.

Y

Are reserved for supply lines, so the purchase of salt, concrete asphalt for.

Y

Projects with our very very mild winter- and I can cite some stats here in 2019-.

Y

In the 2018-2019 winter season we had used 3461 tons of salt product who treat.

Y

Our roads in our 19 2019 2020 winter season, we only use 1,600 tons of salt, so.

Y

We had a much greater availability of funds in this fund to transfer and.

Y

That's what we felt most comfortable to make this match.

F

But that that money could be used for other purposes, for example, for.

F

Multimodal projects is that right, it's to be used for a number of purchases. It.

Y

Could be used for a number of things, the the main component is that we're seeking.

Y

A transfer of these funds from a supply line to a service capital line where we.

Y

Can use these funds for the contracted services of the repaving project, the.

Y

Pavement maintenance project.

F

I may I follow up again. Yes, I would simply direct everyone who.

A

Has given the floor that when you are done speaking or asking questions you.

A

Simply say thank you or I yield so that I know that you're done and then I can.

A

Go to the next person. Please continue, okay, um so just to follow up some more.

F

To probe a little more, this question of the cume cap development fund, where we.

F

Had, unfortunately, a mild winter and therefore we have extra funds there, that.

F

Money could be used for. I guess I'm wondering, given our transportations.

F

Plans emphasis on multimodal projects. I wonder why, when we had this extra money.

F

We didn't think of implementing some multimodal bicycle pedestrian.

F

Improvements, instead of using it for road improvements, the main reason is a.

Y

Council member, I think the answer to your question mainly lies in that we.

Y

Didn't know we would be getting a three hundred and eighty two thousand dollar grant from in dot. You know we applied for these things in the fall. We wait.

Y

Several months until we find out, if we're going to get a grant fund fund a.

Y

Project funded through the grants, and so when you have the opportunity to.

Y

Leverage this funding, you need to come up with a match, and so this seemed like.

Y

The perfect area, given our mild winter, given our supply lines, were healthy. That.

Y

We could then utilize these funds to leverage the several hundred thousand.

Y

Dollars through the community crossing grant program, did we not have the three.

F

Hundred eighty six thousand dollars available in our regular repaving budget.

F

It would have taken away from other projects that we already had planned for.

Y

This year, okay, thank you. Thank you, councilmember clarity, your.

A

Next yeah at first just thanks to staff all staff members who had answered some.

Z

Councilmember questions in advance in the meeting, which were also available in.

Z

A packet addendum for the method of the public. I just wanted to confirm from.

Z

From there that, and for I guess, first of all, it's great.

Z

That we got a grant and I support using it. But if we had not been awarded a.

Z

Grant is it accurate that the eventual repaving of college mall road would have.

Z

Would have come from the paving budget weather weather this year or next year.

Z

Is that right, mr. wesson, that's where we would have had to look.

Y

To fund it from yes, absolutely, you know the key thing here. I want to.

Y

Continue to point out is the size and scale the repaving project that we have.

Y

In front of us, the project from 3rd street down to more.

Y

Spike to two lanes of trapping in both directions, as well as a improving every.

Y

Ad, a ramp that doesn't mean current standards throughout the project limits.

Y

Was looked at as it's been a priority for us, it's rated 50 out of 100 on our.

Y

Pavement condition indexing scale, so it's more of a matter of when we could.

Y

Have put that much resource to the project and speaking with our street.

Y

Superintendent jill van deventer- this is this- would have been a third of our.

Y

Entire paving season that we would have had to dedicate our crews to so.

Y

Leveraging not only the community cross and grant funding, but the fact that we.

Y

Can use an outside contractor, who really specializes in paving and can do this.

Y

Probably more quickly and at a better cost than we could, it was a perfect fit.

Y

For us, it was a great fit for us. Thank you, and thank you also for pointing out.

Z

That the the benefit of having someone else also work on the project that it.

Z

Frees up more time for staff, absolutely.

Z

Mr. clarity is that oh yeah, that was it for me. Sorry I yield. Thank you. Mr. smith,.

A

I just wanted to publicly thank mr. copper for entertaining all our.

N

Questions during the transportation committee, it was a really informative.

N

And very helpful to understand the workings of howard that we go about.

N

Repaving that road and some of the parameters around it.

N

And so on, when I asked questions about the bike or ped path, it was a really an.

N

Exploration of our possibilities- and I just wanted to appreciate, say that I.

N

Appreciated staff's response- and it was great so thank you, mr. smith, is there a.

A

Question this is a question period. That was a comment. Oh nope, sorry, I jumped the.

N

Gun all right, thank you. Are there questions. We have counsel for sandburg.

A

No, I'm sorry counselor bruce campbell lauri, my apology and the season things.

M

My question from a standard question for mr. mason mr. underwood: were there any.

M

Other sources considered to provide these matching funds for this project. We.

M

Looked at the kim cap fund and that's what I'd like but now, but were there any other sources considered or were there none available.

X

Oh yes, yeah! You hear me now. Yes, thank you. We typically work with the.

X

Departments and allow them under the funds under their control, to look for.

X

Matching grant funds, in this case they went with the cumulative development.

X

Fund the backup would have been a special lit fund. Those are the only two.

X

That we had currently this early in the year that we might have been able to.

X

Take the funds out of, and we've been trying to, try to on the special.

X

Distribution is really safe, that the bigger match programs that we have so.

X

This tent this tended to fall to the smaller end of the scale, so we went with.

X

A ccd grate- and that was my next question. Thank you.

M

And mr. wasting their york just to check my understanding of this. Are we.

M

Expanding this road, are we widening it or are we simply maintaining a road that.

M

We already have so. This is a this is a pavement maintenance project, so this is.

Y

Not a redesign, this is not a major overhaul of the road. This is simply.

Y

Pavement mate pavement maintenance, so we will know off an inch or an inch and a.

Y

Half of the old pavement that was its original to the night late-1990s college.

Y

Mall road project we are thrilled, it's lasted 20 years pavement, usually only.

Y

Lasts about 15 to 17, so no! This is just pavement maintenance much different than.

Y

A whole road redesign, when you do mill and repave, you are required to bring up.

Y

To standard all the ata ramps that are adjacent to the project, so I believe.

Y

We'll get 20 or 21 new eighty-eight ramps, as well with the project. Okay and.

M

Aside from the 88 ramps, if I'm understanding correctly, it sounds like.

M

Nothing is necessarily changing about the road these are. Are we doing anything.

M

That would preclude the addition of multimodal curbs later on. If we decided.

M

We wanted to do that. You know that certainly can be considered. That can.

Y

Certainly be studied, that can certainly be something we look forward to in the.

Y

Future, if you know whether it's like protected bike lanes, striked bike lanes.

Y

Yeah, this doesn't preclude us from any of that. Okay, thank you, councilmember rosenberger and then cast member rallo. I.

G

Think thank you. I do want to ask. I just thank you. Everyone for applying to these.

G

Grants, it's obviously great to get matching dollars to do projects that we.

G

Need to do, I definitely think this road needs to be repaved. They saw it right.

G

Our engineers and public works commenting 50 out of 10. As I understand.

G

It really not good for pavement, and so for me, it's not a matter of. Do we repave.

G

It it's a matter of where do we get these funds and we can we get them from.

G

A place that feels more appropriately aligned with our goals, so I know we have.

G

The page projects paving projects for 2020 is it possible to look at that list.

G

I don't, I was gonna pull that, but it probably isn't useful right now, but look.

G

At that list and say: hey: let's do these summer 2021 instead of summer 2020, so we.

G

Can take advantage of this grant that we got for college mall? It looked like on.

G

That page there about 30 projects, I assume they're, all relatively small, but.

G

Of course, I can't tell that they're rated higher than the 50 out of 100, so.

G

Potentially they're in shape to go another year or so.

G

So just summarizing my question: can we look at postponing some of those.

G

Projects to take the money from our repaving budget, I would just say that.

X

This is a hole that we've been trying to get dug out of. As far as all you're.

X

Doing is deferring projects that are on the list for this year to another glist.

X

Year and you either keep punting other projects down the road or at some point.

X

You end up with the massive list of projects that are unfunded, and these.

X

Kinds of dollars are hard to come by they're very restricted in what they can.

X

Be used for so I will say that's one of the things is we do look at changing out.

X

So it would be well we're going to defer these two projects on list this year and.

X

We're going to move one from 2021, ah because it's now in.

X

Worse shape after the last winter, but typically what we don't see is you.

X

Couldn't completely defer a project from one year, the next, unless you're assured.

X

That you're going to get some additional funding that would allow you to do that.

X

Again, you would end up- and this is just general finance and then I'll- let adam.

X

Speak specifically on these projects. Thank you. Yes, so the only thing I would.

Y

Add there is no, I don't support moving projects that we have on the paving list.

Y

This year to next year to accommodate the funding here, the reason I say that.

Y

Is because this is such a large-scale project, we would have to defer literally.

Y

1/3 of our entire paving season worth of funds to cover this project, and that is.

Y

Not something I'm comfortable with, I can tell you one of the things I'm most proud of in our efforts in public works over the last five years and four and a.

Y

Half years or so is that we've really moved to a more modernized approach to.

Y

How we do pavement maintenance, how we do pavement maintenance analysis and.

Y

Determining where, where and what funding should be allocated spent on specific.

Y

Projects for the first time in the history of the city, we have actual very.

Y

High technology, very good data on the condition of our road network, and so.

Y

With that data, we're able to make very important decisions on where and when we.

Y

Choose to repave roads, and so this you know with the size and scope of this.

Y

Project, you know we would. We would have to to move other projects around that.

Y

Our staff wouldn't do to be able to fund this project. We would have to be moving.

Y

Away from you know our traditional paving season, we would have to be moving.

Y

Away from our how we deploy those workers and we fall further behind as.

Y

Controller underwood said one big thing to note too, with our pavement.

Y

Maintenance efforts is that you know we're at a 50 out of 100 pci rating with.

Y

The college ball road as that road continues to further deteriorate. If we.

Y

Get to say a 35 30 to 35 pci rating, our cost for maintenance. At that point, in.

Y

Time rises that they can play. That's when you need full depth patching! That's when you need much more detail, more significant.

Y

Subsurface repair, and so you know we look at this as kind of the perfect.

Y

Storm of hey, we get to knock out a big giant, paving project that would take us.

Y

A third of our entire paving season with leveraging those indot funds and not.

Y

Losing out on our own paving season it just might follow up there. I am, I wasn't.

G

Saying I'm not saying don't do it, I'm just saying take our mass from repaving.

G

And I said definitely, of course, we'll do the project but keep it in the category.

G

That it's in now for funding it and because we got that match it would be a.

G

Little under 20 percent of our repaving budget, not a third, I think, because.

G

Instead of 700,000 right we're getting always having to spend three hundred.

G

Eighty six thousand sir, I'm sorry this isn't a question out there: okay, okay.

A

Thank you, catherine barolo. My question is for mr. copper regarding the.

C

Multipath, when sarah wrote, could you tell us wind at my great ground? Does it.

C

Do is it to be done in installments or phases and when might it be completed.

O

Yeah, this is milk opera playing in transportation. That project has been.

O

Awarded to a contractor already and in dot, actually we had just those contracts.

O

But it has been awarded, I believe, they're working on utility relocations.

O

Right now, construction is scheduled to go throughout 2020 and also throughout.

O

2021 due to the length of the project so completed at the end of 2021, so correct.

C

Okay, wonderful! Thank you with any other. First round questions. Anyone who's, not.

A

Yet asked a question on ordinance board 2002.

A

Cuz I like to take a crack at it.

A

And I just lost my screen. This question is, for I think mr. wace n', so I have on.

A

My screen, the 2020 city, bloomington paving schedule, and there are some 268.

A

Records in it there's a long list of projects, and I want to say I'm reading.

A

It correctly well, one thing I don't see on the schedule is college mol road. I.

A

Can't find the reference, it says that it's I mean its current pci is 50 well.

A

Can you explain why that is college mall road was not on our 2020 paving list.

Y

That's the basic answer to the question is that we didn't pass it yeah. We didn't.

Y

Have enough funds to take on that, but it's a priority for us. I think we would.

Y

Have been planning for 2021 for sure right, but you know it when this arose.

Y

That it really brought it to the forefront, well, yeah, okay! Well, I mean so.

A

Meanwhile, I see on the list for 2020. These are, in other words, you're, saying.

A

That everything on this list is going to get addressed this year, they're already.

A

Going to be addressed, you know you haven't published a 2021 list of things.

A

That you're looking forward to addressing next year is that right, no so.

Y

What we do is each fall. You know after we wrap up our paving season, update our.

Y

Asset management system look through the records on pothole patching for the year.

Y

Do some utility coordination look at what other projects are coming up? We.

Y

Work each fall to then begin drafting our paving list for the next spring from.

Y

There we do all of our utility coordination, make sure that the major utility companies don't have them pending projects so know if it's simply.

Y

That each fall we begin then working on next year's. Do we have a good idea of.

Y

Certain you know- and I think I'm sure joe gandiva doors on this call as well.

Y

And I might defer to him here: do we have a good idea of sections of road and.

Y

Areas in which we want to focus next year, absolutely hundred percent, but you.

Y

Know we make those final determinations throughout the winter months leading.

Y

Into paving season so, in other words, what you're saying is that everything.

A

Here was funded was contemplated in the.

A

Paving budget and that when you applied for the grant, you saw a chance to do a.

A

2021 project in 2020 is that the right way to characterize it, I think so now on.

A

This list, I also note that there are some streets, I mean the majority of them.

A

Are at worse than 50 percent, these are 50 pci out of 100. Like I see it's hard.

A

To read because the route isn't mentioned, but the description east more.

A

Spike to east beckham or drive is rated 8 out of 100. So that's I'm surprised.

A

That that's not a dirt road. By now, we're like a giant pothole at 8, but you know.

A

There's also a few projects that are well above 50 you know like and but so.

A

Again, these are all already funded they're contemplated in this year's.

A

Budget now what I'm trying to understand? I was.

A

Gonna ask: why didn't you defer some of those to next year, but I think I.

A

Understand it now, where do you compile the list of next year's projects late.

Y

Fall and throughout the winter months, as we coordinate with all the other utility.

Y

Companies and different development projects coming on board. Okay I'll have.

A

More questions, but I'm going to yield to the next round of questions. Is there a.

A

Second round of questions from members, I see councillor piedmont smith in.

A

Councillor flaherty, yes, I wanted to ask about since we're talking about sources.

F

Of funds to to match the community crossings grant from the state for.

F

College mile road resurfacing, I wanted to ask about the 2020 supplemental lit.

F

Distribution from the state that we heard about, I read about in the herald.

F

Times last week that the county has been discussing mr.

F

Underwood, do you have any update on that and how much more the city might be.

F

Getting I do we just got distribution today.

X

I had my deputy go out and check and see if we had that because, as you know, on.

X

May 8th they release the county-by-county list, which was about.

X

5.3 million dollars from monroe county of that we will receive a total of 1.

X

Million 778 285 325 thousand of that will go to our public safety lit. So our.

X

Police and fire department so we'll be able to fund additional items from that.

X

And that leaves one point four five: three million that will come back into.

X

The city's general fund, as I noted that the acne appropriation for the match was.

X

That from a special whit fund, that was the only time that very first distribution of excess lit was when they put restrictions on it. Now the.

X

Restrictions are, it has to go back into the a--fun that it would normally be.

X

Appropriated from- and in this case it is public safety, let and the city's general.

X

Fund in order to use those funds, we would have to appropriate the.

X

Administration would have to prepare proration ordinance in cooperation with.

X

The city council and bring that forward- I would say at this time, given the.

X

Current fiscal times that we're in that, I doubt that we would have any reason to.

X

Come forward with spending that money until fall or as a part of that, the.

X

Budget will be early enough for us to know unless it's to backstop a perceived.

X

Drop in what the allocations will be for the next year, and I and quite frankly I.

X

Think that's where it'll be where we would allocate that to is to backstop.

X

Any significant drop in lit funding for the 2021 budget. That's the second.

X

Largest significant funding source for the city's general fund, 6 million for.

X

The budget you said: 36 no expenses, budget, yeah, oh.

X

I'm sorry, but how much comes from lit? Usually let me think I've got that.

X

I believe it was about 25% it's in it's in that range. I'd have to double-check.

X

Because I know between property taxes and and the lit for the general fund.

X

It's around 80%. Okay! Thank you. That's good news, very good news. Thank.

A

You I'll go to confer clarity.
