Thank
you.
We
recognize
that
the
city
of
Bloomington
sits
on
native
land,
the
city
as
well
as
City
administrative
buildings,
are
on
the
traditional
homelands
of
the
Miami
Delaware
Potawatomi
and
Shawnee
people,
and
we
acknowledge
they
are
past
present
and
future
care
takers
of
this
land.
We
also
acknowledge
that
much
of
the
economic
progress
and
development
in
Indiana
and
specifically
Bloomington
resulted
from
the
unpaid,
labor
and
forced
servitude
of
people
of
color,
specifically
enslaved,
African
labor.
A
A
We'll
then
take
up
appointments
to
boards
and
commissions
and
then
move
into
legislation
for
second
readings
and
resolutions
included.
There
are
resolution
2313
resolution
on
the
hazards
of
artificial
intelligence
resolution
2314
to
initiate
amendments
to
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
regarding
accessible
transportation
and
Mobility
principles,
and
then
we'll
move
into
legislation
for
first
readings
there.
We
will
hear
the
first
reading
for
ordinance
23-14
to
amend
title
VI
of
the
Bloomington
Municipal
Code,
entitled
health
and
sanitation
regarding
updating
and
increasing
fees
for
service
and
harmonizing
chapters.
Four
and
five
of
title
VI
of
the
Bloomington
municipal
code.
A
A
It's
been
moved
in
the
way
of
a
point
of
information
for
the
public.
We
will
be
taking
all
votes
this
evening
by
a
roll
call
vote,
because
we
have
members
participating
virtually.
That
is
part
of
the
state
regulation.
So,
if
you're
wondering
why
we're
just
not
saying
I
in
May,
that's
why,
with
that
Deputy
clerk
still
McDowell
will.
C
G
A
A
H
But
one
of
the
things
that
a
colleague
pointed
out
in
a
response
to
a
letter
writer
is
that
we
have
adopted
plans
that
were
done
through
Community
consensus,
our
comprehensive
plan
or
Transportation
plan,
and
those
were
as
many
people
who
are
on
this
day.
As
can
testify
long
drawn
out
painful
conversations,
difficult
conversations,
we
had
over
a
number
of
months
and
years
to
adopt
them.
One
of
the
tenets
of
these
plans
was
that
there
should
be
a
safe
route
to
Bloomington
North
in
this
city
for
people
going
to
school,
namely
children
and.
H
This
debate
has
come
down
to
which
population
we
prefer
to
favor
because
it
seems
like
we
can't
accommodate
both
either
that
or
we
can't
do
it
within
the
constraints
of
the
dollars
that
we
have
available
to
us.
It
will
cost
three
million
dollars
to
build
a
separate
path.
Last
I
understood
it'll
cost
three
million
dollars
to
build
a
separate
path
through
Cascades
for
the
sake
of
bicyclists
and
pedestrians.
It
will
cost
almost
nothing
to
close
the
road
and
to
turn
that
into
a
multi-use
path.
I
don't
have
the
answer.
H
So
I'm
hopeful
that
I
expected
there's
going
to
be
testimony
tonight
and
because
Council
reports
come
before
reports
from
the
public
I'm.
Taking
my
opportunity
now
to
say,
I
hope
that
I
will
hear
some
concern
from
those
people
who
would
prefer
that
the
road
not
be
closed
to
speak
as
to
how
they
would
solve
this
problem
and
at
what
cost.
So
with
that
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
hearing
testimony
tonight
on
Lower
Cascades
during
public,
the
open
public
reports,
but
I
hope
that
we
make
more
of
an
effort.
H
I've
spent
a
lot
of
my
career
trying
to
represent
people
who
we
don't
normally
hear
from
who
don't
normally
come
to
these
meetings,
but
who
are
just
as
much
citizens
as
anybody
else
and
the
citizens
I'm
concerned
about
now
that
are
represented
by
that
resolution
are
people
who
either
all
but
don't
speak
before
us
or
who
are
told
that
it's
not
their
place
to
speak
before
us
so
and
now.
I'm,
not
even
talking
about
college
students.
H
K
A
L
Catherine
Carmichael
for
two
more
days
nice
to
be
with
you
this
evening.
It's
my
pleasure
to
introduce
Jay
to
choa,
who
will
be
with
us
this
evening
to
give
you
the
report
on
the
fourth
city
of
Bloomington
City
survey.
I'll,
give
you
a
little
background
for
context.
The
city
of
Bloomington
contracted
with
polco
national
Research
Center
to
conduct
a
community-wide
survey.
The
2023
survey
was
the
fourth
iteration
of
the
survey
in
the
city
of
Bloomington.
L
The
primary
goal
for
the
survey
was
to
assess
the
attitudes
and
opinions
of
residents
by
four
things:
determining
General
perception
of
quality
of
life
in
the
city,
evaluating
City
programs
and
services,
identifying
project
or
projects
or
issues
for
the
city
and
setting
benchmarks
for
future
surveys.
The
city
of
Bloomington
Community
survey
serves
as
a
consumer
report
card
for
Bloomington
by
providing
residents
the
opportunity
to
rate
many
aspects
of
life
in
the
city.
L
It's
a
it's
akin
to
private
sector
customer
service
surveys
that
are
used
regularly
by
many
corporations
to
monitor
where
there
are
weaknesses
in
product
or
service
delivery
before
customers,
defect
it
to
competition
or
before
other
problems
form
from
dissatisfied.
Customers
use
so
with
that
I
will
introduce
Jade
Ochoa
from
polko
she'll.
Give
the
report
on
the
report.
Thank
you.
M
M
Just
a
little
bit
about
us
before
we
dive
into
the
results,
we'll
go
and
National
Research
Center
are
two
different
companies
that
merged
back
in
2019
National
Research
Center
has
long
been
providing
statistically
valid
government
local
government
surveys
for
about
30
years.
All
across
the
country
we
have
headquarters
in
both
Middleton
Wisconsin
and
Boulder
Colorado,
and
then
polco
adds
to
that
survey.
Research
aspect
of
our
company,
a
public
Engagement
online
format,
so
that
residents
can
interact
with
their
local
governments
on
the
city's
platform.
I
will
be
talking
more
about
that
shortly.
M
We
do
have
a
benchmarking
database
as
well,
so
this
database,
which
I
will
also
be
referring
to
the
benchmarks
throughout
the
rest
of
this
presentation,
allow
us
to
provide
context
for
your
ratings
as
they
relate
to
readings
from
other
communities
across
the
country.
Currently,
this
database
contains
results
from
more
than
500
of
communities.
Across
the
Nation
and
I'll
be
referring
to
bloomington's
results
as
either
higher
lower
or
similar
to
the
benchmarks,
with
the
difference
there
being
at
least
a
10
point,
difference
from
the
average
rating
will
indicate
being
higher
or
lower
than
benchmark.
M
I
do
want
to
cover
the
survey
methods
before
we
get
into
the
results
themselves,
so
this
was
the
fourth
time
that
Bloomington
has
conducted
the
resident
survey
with
previous
administrations
in
2017,
2019
and
2021..
The
2023
survey
was
conducted
this
year
from
March
20th
to
May
1st
and
we
employ
employed
what
we
call
a
multi-contact
approach.
M
We
first
mail
a
pre-notification
postcards
to
have
page
size,
postcard
that
invites
residents
to
complete
the
survey,
and
then
it
contains
a
web
link
so
that
residents
can
access
the
survey
online
if
they
prefer.
A
week
later,
we
follow
up
with
a
survey
packet
that
contains
the
printed
paper
survey,
as
well
as
a
cover
letter
with
instructions
and
a
postage
paper
turn
envelope
and
then
one
week
after
that,
we
follow
up
with
a
final
reminder
postcard
to
invite
further
online
response.
M
The
all
of
the
materials
were
available
in
both
English
and
Spanish,
and
the
survey
was
available
online
in
Spanish
as
well
with
from
those
3000
households.
We
received
a
total
of
367
responses
for
an
overall
response
rate
of
13
and
an
overall
margin
of
error
of
plus
or
minus
five
percent,
which
is
our
goal
as
survey.
Researchers
is
five
percent
or
less.
M
We
also
tracked
responses
by
we.
We
track
the
geographic
areas
as
well
in
the
mailings
and
I'll
be
talking
a
little
bit
more
about
that
later
in
the
presentation,
but
by
geographic
area.
Response
rates
ranged
from
nine
percent
to
17
and
again
13
overall
for
the
entire
city
getting
now
to
an
overview.
The
overview
of
the
survey
results
themselves,
so
just
a
high
level
overview
of
your
the
comparison
of
yours
to
our
our
national
benchmarks
of
the
89
items
for
which
comparisons
were
available.
50
of
those
were
similar
to
the
national
average.
M
Eight
were
rated
higher
and
then
31
were
lower
again
I'll
be
covering
these
in
more
detail
as
we
get
into
the
different
key
findings
later
in
the
slider.
Thank
you
and
then
Bloomington,
also
elected,
to
include
comparison
to
a
subset
of
communities
from
our
Benchmark
database
of
peer
communities.
These
were
communities
that
were
also
college
towns
that
contain
universities
and
also
had
similar
media
and
annual
household
incomes
to
that
of
Bloomington,
and
from
that
subset
of
the
89
items
that
we
could
make
comparisons
467
were
similar.
Seven
work
higher
and
15
were
lower.
M
M
So
about
three
quarters
of
respondents,
rated
the
overall
quality
of
life
in
the
city
as
excellent
or
good,
and
in
2023,
and
similarly
about
the
same
proportion
of
residents,
viewed
Bloomington
as
a
place
to
live
favorably
and
then
about
seven
and
ten
gave
excellent
or
good
ratings
to
the
city
as
a
place
to
raise
children
and
as
a
place
to
visit.
Six
and
ten
to
their
neighborhood
is
a
place
to
live
and
roughly
half
to
Bloomington
as
a
place
to
work
and
to
retire.
M
Bloomington
has
a
place
to
grow
a
business
that
received
excellent
or
good
range
from
39
of
residents.
These
ratings
tended
to
be
similar
to
the
benchmarks,
where
available
Bloomington
as
a
place
to
grow
a
business,
for
example,
as
you
go
through
and
review
the
the
data
on
your
own
in
the
full
report.
Not
all
of
these
questions
are
benchmarkable.
We
don't
and
Bloomington
is
a
place
to
grow
business
as
an
example
is
not
one
that
we
could
provide
benchmarks
for
the
rest
of
these.
M
When
asked,
if
they
would
recommend
living
in
Bloomington
to
someone
who
asked
seven
in
ten
residents
indicated
that
they
were
very
or
somewhat
likely
to
do
so,
and
six
in
ten
residents
were
likely
had
were
very
somewhat
likely
to
remain
in
Bloomington
for
the
next
five
years.
These
were
also
on
par
with
national
and
period
comparison
communities.
M
So
when
rating
the
set
of
eight
Community
characteristics
about
eight
in
ten
gave
positive
ratings
to
overall
opportunities
for
education
and
enrichment
and
the
quality
of
the
overall
natural
environment
in
Bloomington.
Generally
speaking,
ratings
related
to
education
and
enrichment,
Adult
Educational
opportunities,
Etc,
tended
to
be
above
average
ratings
in
Bloomington,
moving
on
the
overall
image
or
reputation
of
Bloomington
health
and
wellness
opportunities
and
overall
ease
of
getting
to
the
places
they
usually
visit
were
rated
positively
by
at
least
six
in
ten,
and
we
can
see
some
declines
there
year
over
year.
M
M
14
chose
the
sense
of
community
in
small
town
feel
and
a
similar
proportion
selected
that
it
was
beautiful
or
the
appearance
of
the
city
and
that
it
was
eco-friendly
and
then
one
about
one
in
ten
selected
either
cultural
activities
and
entertainment,
the
people
or
that
it's
a
friendly
place,
and
then
everything-
and
that
is
a
great
place
to
live.
There's
also
another
category
for
other
responses
for
those
that
selected
something
other
than
what
was
included
in
the
list.
M
Key
finding
number
three
homelessness
remains.
A
city
challenge
residents
were
also
asked
to
indicate
what
is
one
thing
that
they,
like
least
about
this
like
Bloomington,
and
so
that
kind
of
respondents
here
in
this
bunch.
In
this
question,
mentioned
in
the
lab
for
housing
or
homelessness,
sorry,
combined,
half
so
25
on
affordable
housing
and
homelessness,
22
percent
16
mentioned
Roads
Traffic
or
public
transportation,
so
those
three
rows
to
the
top.
M
Our
fourth
key
findings-
some
safety
related
ratings,
have
decreased
since
2021
I
will
also
mention
here.
This
key
finding
and
the
previous
one
in
homelessness.
I
do
want
to
briefly
say
that,
as
someone
who
gives
a
lot
of
these
presentations
across
the
country,
we
have
seen
Nationwide
Trends
going
downward
in
both
of
these
areas,
where
our
clients
ask
about
safety,
related
questions
or
homelessness.
M
So
I
did
want
to
provide
that
context
that,
particularly
in
the
last
two
years
since
really
in
the
postcovid
ERA.
This
is
something
that
we
have
seen
pretty
broadly
in
most
communities
where
we
survey
with
that
said.
Looking
at
these
safety
related
ratings
in
more
detail,
residents
were
asked
to
indicate
how
safe
or
unsafe
they
felt
in
their
neighborhoods
during
the
day
in
bloomington's
downtown
area
during
the
day
in
their
neighborhood
at
night
and
in
bloomington's
downtown
area
at
night.
Feelings
of
safety
declined
in
all
of
these
categories,
except
for
in
their
neighborhood.
M
Residents
were
also
asked
to
rate
a
number
of
safety
related
services
in
Bloomington,
and
some
of
these
experience
declines
as
well.
So
roughly
nine
and
ten
gave
positive
ratings
to
fire
services
and
Emergency
Medical
Services,
74,
Animal,
Control
68
to
fire
prevention
and
education,
and
then
we
saw
declines
this
year.
40
46
percent
excellent
are
good
in
police
services
and
38
percent
in
crime
prevention,
comparatively
in
2021.
The
rating
for
police
services
was
60
percent
and
for
crime
prevention
it
was
a
54
in
2021..
M
Key
finding
number
five
Community
engagement
implementation
remains
High,
so
residents
were
asked
how
often
they
participated
in
different
activities
in
the
city,
and
residents
were
most
likely
to
have
talked
to
or
visited
with
neighbors
eating.
Eight
percent
of
residents
reported
doing
so,
which
was
a
significant
increase
from
2021.
M
N
M
And
we
can
see
that
residents
are
most
pleased
with
the
services
provided
by
the
city
of
Bloomington,
62
percent
reported
excellent
or
good
ratings.
Here,
Monroe
County
was
added
as
a
new
level
of
government
in
2023,
so
we
don't
have
a
prior
year
comparison
there,
but
we
can
see
also
that
ratings
for
state
government
and
federal
level
of
government
also
declined
near
over
a
year
as
well.
M
And
we
also
ask
about
a
number
of
aspects
of
local
government
performance
on
the
survey
and
have
since
the
Inception
of
this
survey,
so
at
the
top
of
the
list
in
terms
of
overall
ratings,
the
job
city
government
does
at
welcoming
citizen
involvement.
This
was
a
similar
rating
to
that,
given
in
2021,
we
can
also
see
declines
in
most
of
these
other
categories
as
well.
M
M
That
is
a
summary
of
our
high
level
summary
of
our
key
findings,
and
then
these
were
already
covered
in
the
introduction
to
the
survey,
but
just
things
to
consider,
as
you
dig
deeper
into
the
full
report
and
to
review
the
findings
on
your
own,
what
areas
were
surprising?
Where
should
you
get
deeper
and
where
would
you
like
to
focus
more
and
at
the
beginning
of
this
presentation?
M
I
mentioned
our
resident
engagement
platform
on
alto,
and
so
this
is
another
way
in
which
you
can
continue
to
engage
your
residents
and
continue
to
pronounce
question
sets
that
might
dig
deeper
into
some
of
these
topics
where
you
might
want
to
understand
more
about
the.
Why
of
what
your
residents
have
have
given
ratings
for,
in
addition
to
just
the?
What
and
access
to
this
online
component
of
the
project
is
already
included
in
the
costs
that
you
paid
for
the
2023
survey,
I'm
happy
to
take
questions
at
this

Another
good
question:
the
our
sampling
methods
do
include
students
that
live
off
campus
because
they
are
just
included
as
part
of
the
random
sample.
We
don't
include
dorm
residing
students
for
various
reasons,
but
primarily
because
they
were,
they
tend
to
respond
at
extremely
low
rates,
and
it
is
typically
not
worth
the
added
cost
to
try
to
reach
or
engage
with
those
students.
O
M
O
O
Yes,
okay
and
and
I-
don't
have
a
reason
at
this
point
to
dispute
or
disagree
with
those
findings.
I
guess
what
I'm
really
wanting
to
know
is
how
were
those
responses
statistically
weighted
so
that
they
reflect
the
entire
Bloomington
population?
Can
you
explain
that
to
us
how
that
happened,
how
367
people
can
yeah
I'm
sorry
go
ahead?
Thank
you.
Yeah.
M
Absolutely
yes,
great
question,
so,
with
regard
to
waiting,
we
do
ask
a
series
of
demographic
questions
on
the
survey
which
map
to
the
U.S
census.
So
then
we
use
census
data
to
to
identify
the
popular
what
we
call
the
population
Norm
for
Bloomington,
so
who
actually
lives
in
the
community
and
then
we
evaluate
who
we
heard
from
which
is
called
the
unweighted
data,
and
then
we
use
statistical
analysis
programs.
M
In
our
case,
we
use
SPSS
to
statistically
weight
the
data
which
then
essentially
performs
adjustments
to
the
data
to
make
it
more
representative
of
your
residence
and
accounts
for
any
discrepancies.
For
example,
older
residents
tend
to
respond
to
surveys
at
higher
rates
than
younger
residents.
So
the
the
waiting
process
makes
adjustments
for
that.
This
is
a
a
very
pivotal
part
of
the
gold
standard
survey
industry
process,
waiting
unweighted.
N
M
O
M
Yes,
we
do
so
each
each
respondent
does
respond
to
those
demographic
questions.
So
you
can
see
both
the
the
number
of
respondents
by
demographic
characteristics
in
the
appendix
of
the
report.
That
shows
that
information
also,
we
provide
Cross
tabulations
by
demographic
characteristics
as
well,
and
that
do
show
statistically
statistically
significant
differences
in
opinion
by
different
demographics.
That's
also
included
in
the
report.
We
didn't
get
into
that
level
of
detail
here
due
to
in
the
interest
of
time,
but
that
is
included
in
the.
O
N
L
Catherine
Carmichael
we'll
have
everything
posted
online,
not
just
starting
tomorrow
morning,
not
just
the
2023
report,
but
all
four
reports,
as
well
as
the
presentations
that
went
along
with
them,
so
they're
openly
available
to
anyone
who'd
like
to
access
them,
and
it
will
be
right
on
the
front
landing
page.
Where
we'll
do
a
press
release
in
the
morning.
That
will
then
have
the
links
handy
so
they'll
be
right
at
the
top.
So
it's
a
quick
find.
L

A
P
Good
evening
my
name
is
Scott
Robinson
I'm,
the
director
for
planning
and
transportation.
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
a
report
tonight
regarding
lower
Cascades
and
Old
State
Road
37.
on
the
screen.
Above
you
can
see
an
image,
a
screen
capture
of
the
area
that
I'd
like
to
talk
about
tonight,
I'm
Loosely,
referring
to
that
as
the
Cascades
Network
I
have
some
neighborhoods
highlighted
Parks
some
destinations
schools.
To
give
you
context.
P
As
you
know,
in
the
council,
packet
I
included
a
memo
that
outlines
policies.
The
recent
20-year
history
of
the
area,
issues
and
alternative
design,
Solutions
and
options
to
consider
I
also
want
to
point
out
council,
member
Flaherty
and
council
member
voland
for
pointing
out
resolution
1911
that
I
failed
to
include
in
that
list
recognizing
the
need
to
increase,
walking
and
biking
facilities
to
our
Public
Schools
Mr
Lucas.
Could
you
click
the
thank
you
next
part.
P
P
Typically,
when
we
go
through
this
process,
Implement
implementation
is
the
next
step
generally
after
these
plans
and
policies
are
adopted,
we
start
focusing
on
implementation,
which
delves
into
design
and
then
construction
and
maintenance
of
these
facilities.
Some
of
the
questions
that
arise
during
that
process
is
feasibility.
A
line
in
the
map
is
something
much
different
than
ground
truthing
on
the
ground
prioritization.
P
Where
does
this
fall
in
the
prioritization
of
all
the
facilities
facilities
identified
in
these
plans
for
the
community?
Sometimes
it's
identified
in
these
plans
as
a
priority.
Sometimes
it's
prioritized
by
past
in
Prior
Investments,
it's
The,
Logical,
Next,
Step
funding
sources.
That's
something
that
we
struggle
with
all
the
time
trying
to
identify
various
funding
resources
to
to
leverage
these
Investments
coming
before
Council
on
these
budgetary
requests
and
approvals
for
these
next
steps.
P
Next
slide,
please
now
I
just
want
to
provide
a
little
background
on
what's
existing
on
the
ground
today,
so
on
the
map,
you
can
see
I've
taken
the
same
green
lines
and
converted
them
to
other
colors,
the
red
lines.
North,
Dunn
and
kinzer.
Street
are
areas
of
this
network
that
are
in
design.
That's
where
we've
had
prior
funding
or
committed
funding
to
move
into
the
design
phase
of
this
network.
P
The
navy,
blue
or
dark
blue
section
are
portions
of
the
network
that
have
been
constructed
with
prior
design
and
investments
in
that
area
and
then
the
last
segment.
The
yellow
segment
is
the
the
portion
that
we're
discussing
about
tonight.
It's
a
key
Missing
Link
in
the
network.
It
obviously
provides
access
from
the
south
into
the
lower
Cascades
Network,
the
the
designed
portions,
the
red
portions,
provide
someday
access
from
the
East
and
North
into
the
Cascades
area.
P
The
dashed
yellow
lines.
If
you
Mr,
Lucas
press
the
button,
you'll
see
that
they'll
highlight
a
rotation
around
the
network,
I'm
going
to
provide
a
short
video
to
provide
an
aerial
view
fly
over
the
area
to
give
a
perspective
of
the
various
attributes
of
the
the
corridors.
So
It
Begins
from
a
North
Dunn
Street
proceeds
North
and
follows
around.
So
if
you
bear
with
me
for
about
four
minutes
and
30
seconds,
you
can
get
a
nice
flyover
of
the
network
to
give
a
context.
Thank
you.
N
N
P
Well,
I
hope
this
video
demonstrates
bloomington's
natural
assets
both
how
both
residents
and
visitors
can
enjoy
and
someday
through
an
inclusive,
multimodal
Vision
to
conduct
our
various
destinations
and
Assets
in
our
community.
On
the
next
slide.
Mr
Lucas
can
you
click
to
highlight
the
I
wanted
to
provide
some
pavement
widths.
This
is
the
edge
of
payment
to
Edge
a
payment
approximate.
The
yellow
pentagons
demonstrate
the
approximate
pavement
with
on
the
network
that
we're
looking
at,
as
you
can
see,
there's
very
little
opportunity
to
use
the
shoulder
of
the
road.
P
What
have
you
on
the
corridor
or
the
network,
and
so
again,
I
just
wanted
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
context.
Maybe
You
observe
that
through
that
flyover,
there
are
many
portions
of
the
network
that
there's
not
a
lot
of
room.
In
fact,
some
areas,
the
the
side
path
or
Trail
is,
is
off
the
actual,
not
next
to
the
road,
but
actually
a
little
bit
offset
off
the
roadway.
P
Can
you
click
the
next?
Please
I
wanted
to
provide
some
recent
traffic
counts
again.
This
is
just
a
snapshot
in
time.
These
were
taken
in
June
of
this
year
on
each
leg
of
the
network.
You
can
see
the
average
daily
traffic,
that's
ADT
and
average
speed,
so
you
can
see
on
the
southern
leg,
there's
about
472
Vehicles.
This
is
weekday
traffic
compared
to
700
on
the
the
two
Northern
legs.
What
that
data
suggests
is
most
of
the
late
traffic
that
you
see
going
through.
P
P
These
are
captured
or
screen
captures
from
our
transportation
plan
kind
of
policy
guidance
on
the
left.
You
have
a
multi-use
path
that
gives
a
cross-section
of
a
typical
roadway
with
a
little
tree
tree,
lawn
or
buffer,
and
then
the
multi-use
path,
that's
basically
what's
identified
for
what
we
would
be
doing
in
the
Cascades
network
and
on
the
right
is
a
little
infographic
on
how
we
try
to
prioritize
pedestrian,
bicylist,
Transit
and
then
Motor
Vehicles
in
the
memo
I
outlined
four
possible
alternatives
to
consider
for
this
Southern
piece
of
the
network.
P
The
first
is
kind
of
a
no
build
opportunity.
If
that
were
the
decision
to
move
forward
with,
we
would
need
to
amend
our
comprehensive
and
transportation
plans
to
remove
that
guidance.
That
policy
guidance
to
implement
that
type
of
infrastructure
on
this
portion
of
the
roadway,
and
we
would
need
to
build
a
sidewalk
in
order
to
provide
accessibility
to
one
of
our
destinations.
P
Second
is
option
would
be
a
new
Trail
or
separated
trail
from
the
roadway
council.
Member
voland
mentioned
the
three
million
dollar
price
tag,
that's
a
very
general
estimate,
but
until
we
get
into
the
design
phase,
this
would
be
by
far
the
most
expensive
alternative
to
consider
in
this
section
of
Road,
primarily
there's
very
limited,
Road
width
to
work
with
because
of
the
close
proximity
of
the
stream
Bank,
the
steep
slopes
and
the
trees.
P
So
this
would
by
and
far
be
the
most
expensive
alternative
to
consider
the
other
alternative,
something
that
we
looked
back
some
time
ago
in
the
past
about.
Could
we
convert
the
road
to
a
one-way
Road,
where
a
portion
of
the
road
could
serve
as
a
trail?
That's
another
alternative
to
consider
that
one
has
its
challenges
too,
primarily
which
direction
of
flow.
Would
the
traffic
be
for
the
one-way
traffic?
P
Access
to
the
all
other
amenities
in
this
area
would
still
be
accessible
via
automobile
bike
and
ped.
What
have
you
this
section
again
would
be
evaluated
and
designed
to
be
closed
and
converted
where
that,
where
those
points
of
closure
would
be
would
be
determined
at
a
later
point.
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
all
of
these
considerations,
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
the
stream
side
stabilization
that
needs
to
take
place
along
the
the
corridor.
Here
we
need
to
coordinate
with
IMI
the
concrete
facility
just
north
of
the
bypass.
P
There
may
be
utility
upgrades
needed
along
the
corridor.
All
of
these
will
be
meet
ADA
compliance
for
accessibility
standards.
I
will
say
that
there
might
be
Federal
funding
limitations
depending
on
which
alternative
is
chosen
not
impossible,
but
anytime
you
impact
a
park
anytime,
you're
close
to
streams.
P
There
might
be
some
historic
factors,
definitely
raise
some
red
flags
when
using
Federal
funding,
so
that
might
limit
our
options
when
considering
funding
opportunities.
Moving
forward
next
slide,
I
just
wanted
to
provide
a
little
context,
as
as
you
all
know,
that
we
had
the
pilot
study
where
we
had
closed
temporarily
closed
the
road,
and
then
there
was
a
June
2011
storm
event
that
actually
washed
out
a
portion
of
the
roadway.
P
Obviously
you
know
as
part
of
climate
action
and
stream
Bank
stabilization,
that's
something
that
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
I.
Think
it's
without
saying
much
to
to
point
out
that
it's
it's
clear
guidance
policy
guidance
from
the
city
about
climate
action.
As
you
can
see,
the
storm
really
did
damage
the
roadway.
The
portion
of
roadway
was
being
considered
at
the
time
when
this
pilot
came
to
an
end.
The
decision
was
to
reopen
the
road
and
install
traffic
calming
features
that
was
not
a
permanent
decision.
That
was
a
temporary
decision.
P
These
improvements
are
not
consistent
with
our
plans
and
policies;
it
was
an
interim
step
and
it
does
not
meet
the
various
needs
and
challenges
that
are
before
us
next
slide,
please.
Finally,
the
administration
recommends
the
roadway
conversion
to
a
multi-use
trail.
This
alternative
does
not
change,
accessible
parking
areas
and
access
to
facilities
within
the
park.
It
has
the
most
potential
to
minimize
environmental
impacts.
P
A
C
P
Yeah
I
don't
see
how
that's
any
different
than
what
we
do
now
with
the
beeline
Trail
and
other
facilities,
access
to
switch
yard
Park.
And
what
have
you
again?
There's
been
no
designs,
we
haven't
gone
into
the
design,
but
I
don't
see
why
a
design
couldn't
incorporate
a
access
for
emergency
vehicles.
P
P
D
P
H
What
first
of
all
I
want
to
say?
I'm
sorry
I
did
address
this
issue
during
reports
when
it
was
on
the
agenda.
That's
my
bad,
but
I
did
want
to
ask
when
you
say
that
this
plan
is
ADA
Compliant.
The
closure
of
the
road
I
think
people
who
are
in
wheelchairs
and
use
a
specialized
car
to
get
around
might
say
that
it's
not
accessible
to
them
because
they
can't
get
their
specialized
car
or
van
through.
Can
you
explain
a
little
bit
more
detail
what
it
means
to
be
ADA
Compliant,
so.
P
In
this
case,
so
ADA
compliance
is
meeting
with
American,
Disabilities,
Acts
or
whatever
facility.
We
design
would
need
to
be
compliant
with
those
standards,
I'm,
not
100
sure
but
I,
don't
think
ADA
compliance
addresses
access
and
Mobility
through
a
motorized
vehicle.
What
it
does
address
is
how
you
access
Ada
parking
spaces
and
other
facilities,
so
that,
with
that
said,
I'm
not
aware
of
the
Ada
would
require
roadway
to
be
open
to
motorized
vehicles.
Now
motorized
wheelchairs
assisted
other
devices.
That
would
be
they
would
be
designed
to
accommodate
those
types
of
modes.
Very.
H
E
P
Great
answer:
thank
you,
a
question.
Councilman
council
member
Smith,
there's
nothing
in
the
plan
that
says
the
road
shall
be
closed.
It's
really
looking
at
the
feasibility
aspect.
So
whenever
we
move
into
that
feasibility,
these
are
considerations
that
we
consider
in
any
project
that
we
move
forward
with
and
again
given
the
constraints
of
this
portion
of
roadway,
it's
it's
pretty
challenging,
and
so
this
would
be
one
alternative
to
consider.
I
I
P
P
I
P
I
P
The
conclusion
of
the
pilot
I'm
not
aware
of
any
kind
of
bona
fide
conclusion
at
the
time,
and
there
hasn't
been
a
follow-up
discussion
about
hey.
What
do
you
think
about
the
current
improvements
being
made
again?
That's
why,
before
you
this
evening,
is
to
get
your
feedback
on
the
appropriate
steps
to
move
forward.
E
E
P
Well,
as
part
of
my
Outreach
to
each
of
you,
I'd
like
to
get
feedback
from
council
members
and
community
members
on
the
best
pathway
forward,
the
administration
is
supportive
of
that
feedback.
We
want
this
to
be
a
community
decision
so
that
that
decision
could
be
made,
and
at
that
time
the
administration
can
prepare
whatever
that
would
whatever
that
would
take.
Is
it
a
budget
request
for
funding?
P
Would
it
be
a
Resolute
resolution,
I
think
the
challenges
with
the
resolution,
depending
on
the
facility
type
other
than
I,
guess,
there's
really
not
an
ordinance
that
would
close
the
road
or
an
ordinance
that
would
trigger
one
of
the
the
recommendations
or
Alternatives.
A
resolution
might
provide
a
direction
on
a
preferred
alternative
again
with
that
feedback
certainly
willing
to
work
with
everybody
to
arrive
at
that
preferred
outcome.
Q
P
Yeah
it
again,
it's
just
a
snapshot.
It
was
a
game
in
November,
so
you
know
I,
think
that
point
in
time
in
the
Hoosier
football
era
was
probably
not
a
very
popular
game.
So
I'll
just
be
honest
about
that
outcome,
but
yes,
the
the
daily
traffic
was
actually
less
than
the
prior
Saturday.
So
you
know,
given
the
concerns
with
the
traffic
management,
it
was
a
little
bit
interesting
to
see
that,
and
it
was
just
right
after
the
roadway
was-
was
opened
after
the
pilot,
so
just
a
snapshot
in
time.
P
A
A
That
takes
us
to
reports
from
Council
committees.
Are
there
any
I'm
not
aware
of
any
okay?
And
this
brings
us
to
our
first
period
of
public
comment,
I'm
aware
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
here
who
want
to
offer
comment?
This
is
for
items
not
on
the
agenda
as
legislative
items.
So,
if
you
have
comments
on
the
hazards
of
artificial
intelligence
or
the
accessible
Transportation
Mobility
principles,
for
example,
we'll
take
comments
at
that
time
when
we
take
up
those
particular
issues.
R
Yes,
if
there
are
members
of
the
public
joining
us
via
Zoom,
that
would
like
to
speak.
Please
let
us
know
by
using
the
raise
hand
feature
you
can
find
that
in
your
control
bar
by
clicking
the
reactions
button
or
the
more
button,
you
can
also
send
a
chat
to
the
meeting
host.
To.
Let
us
know
you'd
like
to
speak,
see
one
hand
raised
at
the
moment.
A
H
H
S
A
A
Just
one
at
the
moment,
let's
plan
on
three
minutes
per
person,
we
have
a
lot
of
people
that
we
want
to
hear
from
this
evening.
So
if
you
would
queue
up
please
and
then,
when
you
come
to
the
for
those
of
you,
some
of
you
are
new
to
making
public
comments.
So
when
you
come
to
the
podium,
you'll
have
an
opportunity
to
sign
in
so
there
is
a
sign-in
sheet
there.
Mr
Lucas
I,
assume,
please
sign
in
your
name,
so
our
clerk
can
properly
reflect
you
in
a
minutes.
A
Please
state
your
name
for
the
record
and
then
you'll
have
three
minutes
to
make
your
comment.
You'll
see,
timers
up
on
the
screen
to
help
you
calibrate
your
comments
and
pace
yourself.
So
with
that,
let's
begin
here
in
Chambers,
please
welcome.
Please
state
your
name
for
the
record
and
then
you'll
have
three
minutes.
T
T
Why
was?
Why
was
them
guys
back
after
doing
something
again?
Why
wasn't
that
designed
right?
The
first
time?
Why
was
they
back
again?
More
taxpayer
money
had
10
guys
after
all
week,
redoing
that
when
it
should
have
been
done
right,
the
first
time
it
needs
to
be
eliminated,
I,
don't
like
it,
but
the
money
that
was
wasted
on
that
thing
and
then
down
Allen
Street
from
Rogers
to
Patterson
them
things
that
have
come
down
the
road
man.
That's
that's
going
to
be
a
heck
to
pay.
T
When
you
got
plow
truck
drivers
in
the
winter
time,
that's
got
snows
a
foot
deep
and
they
hit
them
things
in
plows
them.
Things
are
about
ten
thousand
dollars
a
piece
in
plows
and
they
hit
them
things
anyway,
Duke
Energy.
Thank
you
guys
for
getting
my
lights
back
on
when
the
lights
went
out
a
while
back,
I,
don't
remember
the
date.
Them
were
the
guys
that
Matt
Flaherty
has
forgot
about
when
he
says
he
needs
to
retain
the
people
at
the
meal.
T
We
need
to
retain
the
people
at
Duke
Energy,
the
people
that
drive
backhoes
the
people
cut
trees.
He
was
so
intent
on
the
meal.
Oh,
we
got
to
retain
them,
people,
okay,
you
can
retain
it,
but
we
need
to
keep
the
people
that
keep
our
lights
on
too.
I
was
real
glad
to
have
them
lights.
Come
back
on.
Mine
was
off
for
about
eight
hours
and
then
when
they
they
they
come
on
and
they
went
back
off
and
it
started
raining.
I
thought
man
them
guys
are
the
heroes.
Man
got
them
back
on.
T
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
guys
all
that
Salmon
Street
this
thing
over
here
from
Walnut
to
Rogers
man.
That's
that
should
have
his
four-way
stops
back,
because
that's
very
that's
very
confusing
for
people.
I'm
surprised,
there's
not
been
T-Bones
out
here.
Why
was
that
design?
It's
confusing
every
time
you
pull
on
to
that
From
Any
Road
around
here.
It's
confusing.
T
They
really
did
Rose
Hill
Cemetery
the
wall
around
here,
I'm
always
talking
about,
but
WPA
guys.
My
hats
off
to
you
guys
you're,
not
here,
to
see
my
thanks,
but
thank
you
and
also
too
I
had
interactions
with
Bloomington
Police
last
week.
I,
don't
have
it
all
the
time,
but
when
I
do
most
of
them
are
good.
Sergeant
Lucas
treated
me
with
great
care
officer.
Dorman
was
a
thug
entertainment.
It
aided
me
treated
me
really
bad
I,
don't
appreciate
that
he
makes
it
three
times
should
look
bad
in
Bloomington
officer,
Dorman,
Mr,.
A
R
A
U
U
U
Great
yeah
next
slide,
please
to
walk
away
with
actionable
ideas
to
tend
to
bring
the
most
value
to
the
people
coming
downtown,
and
this
was
over
four
sessions
over
four
months
next
slide,
please,
if
I
don't
know
if
you
can
look
ahead
on
any
slides
or
just
follow
up
yet
thanks
and
next
slide,
we
had
a
showcase
on
June,
2nd.
There
we
go.
That's
a
map
of
everything
that
was
downtown.
U
This
is
during
a
gallery
walk
and
if
you
just
flip
through
the
next
five
slides,
pretty
quickly,
you'll
see
some
photos
from
the
event
it's
registration
people
in
the
alley
activation
that
was
one
of
the
big
Ideas,
was
activate
the
alleys
music
on
the
Square
and
again,
the
whole
objective
here
is:
what
are
some
small
things
we
can
do
to
make
downtown
even
better.
One
of
them
was
a
musicians
busking
supporting
musicians
having
a
more
clear,
easy
ways
to
bust
and
keep
going
and
we'll
get
to
the
final
list
here.
U
So
these
are
the
top
six
ideas.
There's
a
link
to
a
video
here.
If
you
want
to
see
what
it
looked
like
day
of
it
was
a
great
day.
It's
linked
in
the
PDF
that
should
be
in
your
packet
next
slide.
We
gave
a
certificate
to
have
all
the
citizen
residents
who
participated
next
slide.
Here's
a
photo
of
a
handful
of
us
and,
most
importantly,
let's
get
to
the
survey
results.
So
someone
similar,
we
want
to
know
what
stations
were
your
favorite
ideas
next
slide,
so
we
asked
so
again.
U
We
had
six
six
ideas
that
the
participants
came
up
in
the
Innovation
Workshop
we
put
on
a
live
downtown
showcase
to
put
a
prototype
in
front
of
residents
and
then
surveyed
them,
hey,
which
of
these
ideas.
Do
you
like
and,
as
you
can
see
here,
the
alley
activation
and
the
downtown
busking
were
the
top
two
ideas
followed
closely
by
live
entertainment
on
the
Square
next
slide.
We
asked
to
what
extent
would
you
like
to
see
the
city
invest
in
making
these
ideas
happen.
U
U
68
said
makes
me
want
to
come
downtown
more
often,
and
57
said
makes
me
want
to
support
small
businesses
more
often
so
just
kind
of
an
FYI
for
you
all
from
the
outcomes
from
this
I
think
one
takeaway
could
be
seeing
those
top
two
ideas
move
forward,
which
I
believe
Holly
Warren
is
already
working
on.
So
that's
great
affirmation
and
I
think
this
mindset
of
continuing
to
prototype
and
test
ideas
and
get
feedback
in
a
cheap
and
fast
way
is
something
I
was
hoping
would
be,
bring
insights
to
DBI
and
other
people
in
the
city.
A
A
V
Not
everything
is
equal,
though,
amongst
the
various
residents
of
Bloomington
and
their
accessibility
to
emergency
vehicles.
I've
got
a
map
today
that
I've
highlighted
in
yellow
that
shows.
Those
of
us
who
live
in
the
yellow
area
have
less
access
to
emergency
vehicles
than
most
of
the
citizens
of
Bloomington.
Do
that's
because,
once
you
get
south
of
the
bypass
there's,
far
more
north-south
corridors,
even
small
streets
that
go
north
and
south
above
the
bypass,
there's
only
a
few
very
few
that
go
north
and
south.
V
These
Services
would
take
the
Emergency
Services
would
take
considerably
more
time
when
precious
seconds
count
to
get
ambulances
to
anyone
who
has
suffering
a
heart
attack
a
stroke,
a
choking
child,
a
home,
that's
on
fire
or
any
other
emergency
that
where
time
is
of
essence,
with
this
many
people
in
that
area.
It's
only
a
matter
of
time
that
someone
is
going
to
become
seriously
ill
needing
quick
treatment
in
this
yellow
area.
That
is
going
to
be
it's
going
to
die
because
of
the
extra
time
that
it
gets
takes
to
get
an
emergency
vehicle
up.
V
A
W
W
For
those
of
us
who
can't
access
the
shelters
and
Things
by
walking
and
I
would
include
myself
in
that.
If
I
were
not
pushing
a
wheelchair
for
balance
to
get
things
to
the
town
town
hall
meeting
on
Saturday,
it
would
have
been
impossible
for
me
to
get
there
and
I
want
to
thank
those
of
you
who
did
come
to
the
town
hall
meeting.
It's
greatly
appreciated
and
I
think
you've
heard
a
lot
from
the
community
there.
So
anyway,
let's
not
leave
the
elderly
and
firm
behind.
You
mentioned
the
plans.
W
The
comprehensive
and
transportation
plans
of
2019
they're
just
that
they're
plants
they're
not
etched
in
stone,
they're,
not
ordinances,
they're,
not
laws.
Plans
can
be
changed.
So
let's
take
the
time
to
deal
with
this
appropriately.
Let's
not
rush
through
it
and
I
I
want
to
let
you
also
know
we
did
our
own
traffic
survey
down
in
the
park
and
it
was
done
between
March,
29th
and
May
3rd
for
one
hour
intervals
that
were
randomly
observed,
different
ones
went
down
and
recorded
and
reported
back
to
me.
W
X
X
X
This
fall
at
a
council
meeting,
but
I
just
wanted
to
assure
you
that
there
are
many,
many
individuals
and
organizations
and
people
within
the
city
of
Bloomington
itself,
who
are
working
very
hard
every
day
to
lift
people
out
of
homelessness
and
to
prevent
people
from
becoming
homeless
in
the
first
place.
I
appreciate
your
partnership.
Thank
you.

The
parks
near
us
in
the
downtown
area
do
not
feel
safe
to
use
due
to
the
large
population
of
Transit,
homeless
and
drug
users.
The
new
switchyard
park
is
mostly
void
of
trees
and
does
not
provide
much
cover
from
the
Sun
and
heat.
It
is
also
becoming
a
magnet
for
the
homeless
population.
The
only
Oasis
in
our
area
in
the
north
is
Cascades
Park.
My
spouse
and
I
used
to
frequent
Cascades
to
walk
our
dogs.
Z
It
felt
safe
to
us,
we
could
enjoy
sun
shade
and
the
creek
was
a
blessing
for
both
us
and
our
pets,
the
area
of
the
park
where
you
could
drive
across
the
creek
and
park.
Your
cars
was
usually
filled
with
families
and
kids
enjoying
the
water,
their
presence
enhanced
the
feeling
of
safety,
and
we
would
usually
walk
past
them
further
into
the
park.
Knowing
that
the
people
were
near
should
we
need
help
for
any
reason,
I
say
this:
in
past
tense,
when
Cascades
rose
with
Tim
drove
was
temporarily
closed.
Z
The
population
of
homeless
persons
living
in
and
around
the
park
started
increasing
when
the
road
reopened.
With
the
parking
area
closed
where
the
children
and
families
used
to
play
in
the
creek,
the
population
of
homeless
increased
and
the
children
and
families
decreased
the
last
time
we
walked
our
pets
in
this
area
there
were
no
families
or
children.
What
we
found
is
we
walked
further
into
the
park
where
people
were
people
sleeping
on
the
concrete
picnic
tables.
We
no
longer
walk
our
dogs
in
this
area
of
Cascades
Park.
We
no
longer
feel
safe.
Z
There
I
firmly
believe,
if
you
close
the
road
permanently,
that
end
of
the
park
will
become
a
new
homeless
encampment,
that
the
police
will
not
even
be
able
to
drive
through
on
a
regular
basis
to
regulate
it's
already
happening.
This
would
not
be
an
area.
I
would
want.
My
children
passing
through
I,
do
not
understand
why
those
in
power
do
not
listen
to
the
wants
and
needs
of
those
that
live
here
year
round.
Z
Millions
of
our
tax
dollars
have
been
spent
supporting
the
wants
and
needs
of
the
students
and
people
on
bikes,
What,
About
Us,
how
many
students
or
parents
have
petitioned
for
a
bike
route
to
Bloomington
North
High
School
I.
Do
not
expect
you
to
put
sidewalks
in
my
subdivision,
but
is
it
too
much
to
ask
for
just
one
Park?
Z
K
K
on
game
days.
The
police
now
stop
you.
You
can't
go
on
the
bypass
and
make
a
left-hand
turn
onto
Kinser.
You
can't
go
down
to
Walnut
and
make
a
left-hand
turn.
You
can't
go
down
to
done
and
make
a
left-hand
turn.
There
is
no
way
for
us
to
get
home
when
they're
blocking
traffic
for
football,
basketball,
games
or
graduation.
K
Most
of
us
know
we
can
go
underneath
the
bypass
down
Cascades
row
and
through
the
golf
course,
and
most
of
us
do
that
it's
the
only
Road
you
have
going
north
from
the
city
when
they're
when
they're
blocking
us
all
off.
You
have
to
allow
you
block
off
that
Cascades.
We
have
no
way
to
get
home
easily
without
going
maybe
up
the
interstate
to
Oliver
Winery
or
come
back
down
whatever
that's
ridiculous.
You
have
to
allow
us
more
than
one
Road
North.
AA
I
have
two
more
minutes,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
on
the
earlier
presentation
on
the
survey.
Monroe,
County
and
Bloomington
are,
as
officially
designated
a
medically
underserved
area.
It
means
there
are
fewer
doctors
by
a
lot
than
we
need.
I
I
have
changed
primary
care
physicians
twice
since,
in
the
eight
years
I've
lived
here,
I
literally,
don't
know
anyone
who
hasn't
changed
primary
care
doctors.
AA
A
A
A
AB
AB
AB
It
occurs
to
me
that
our
family
moved
here
in
1972..
Lower
Cascades
is
just
a
very
fond
place
to
be.
Our
children
went
there.
We
took
them
down
there
and
we
saw
the
improvements
in
the
play
area
and
now
guess
what,
when
our
children
are
in
town,
they
take
their
children,
our
grandchildren,
down
to
the
park
to
play.
We've
had
picnics
there,
and-
and
it
occurs
to
me
that
one
of
the
important
things
that
has
been
mentioned
is
or
or
maybe
not
really
given
as
much
attention
as
it
should
have.
AB
AB
AB
AB
A
AC
I'm
Susan
Graves
I've
lived
in
Bloomington,
basically
all
my
life
and
I'm
here
to
beg
you
to
do
well
with
that.
Park
I
attended
the
public
town
hall
meeting
this
past
week,
which
was
very
enlightening.
There
were
a
lot
of
people
that
building
was
full
with
people
from
around
the
area
who
like
to
come
to
the
park
or
live
next
to
it.
So
I
beg
you
to
all
of
us
work
together
to
come
up
with
something
that
fits
for
everyone.
AC
I
I
found
it
really
I
just
wanted
to
hear
what
other
people
and
what
their
reasonings
were
and
such
whenever
I
went.
Mr
Carpenter
spoke
that
day
and
I
found
that
I
had
several
of
the
same
feelings
that
he
had
that
he
mentioned
I.
Just
think
that
we
all
need
to
work
together
on
this
and
I.
Don't
think
that
we're
anywhere
near
one
thought
that
I
had
overnight
last
night,
it's
been
heavy
on
my
mind,
so
in
the
middle
of
the
night,
I
woke
up
and
it's
like.
AC
The
reason
for
it
is
is
that
that
would
then
provide
the
opportunity.
There's
been
three
cars
that
are
sometimes
useful,
sometimes
not
useful
in
people
living
in
them
right
there
at
that,
at
the
base
of
that
bridge,
I've
made
more
time
more
laps
over
their
here
recently,
it's
just
got
to
be
something
that's
workable.
If,
at
any
point
in
time,
we
decide
well
we're
going
to
close
that
completely
first
off,
if
somebody's
hurt,
how
are
we
going
to
get
to
them,
and
then
people
will
quit
coming
that
really
have
loved
it.
AC
Their
entire
life
I
mean
we
just
really
have
to
work
together
to
come
up
with
something
that
fits
and
I.
Don't
think,
there's
been
that
involvement
with
the
I
haven't
heard
of
any
Community
involvement,
I
just
heard
about
that
meeting
and
just
went
over
there
to
see
what
was
going
on
to
see
if
I
could
hear
what
happens
but
to
to
project
right
now,
as
though
it
may
become
like
the
Second
Street
location.
AC
A
AD
During
that
time
there
was
one
car
that
I
thought
was
speedy.
There
were
two
pedestrians
on
the
east
side
of
the
road
which
were
doing
everything
properly
and
they
had
seemed
to
have
no
problems.
I
just
couldn't
understand
why
they
didn't
cross
over
and
walk
on
the
nice
New
Path,
and
then
there
were
six
bicycles.
AD
Four
of
those
bicyclists
were
following
all
the
rules.
They
had
no
problems
with
the
cars
passing
them
and
then
the
other
two
bicyclists,
one
of
which
was
the
person
who
did
all
the
complaining
were
writing
down
the
middle
of
the
road.
So
no
wonder
they
had
cars
tailgating,
so
there
are
jerks
in
every
facet
of
Life.
Some
are
driving,
some
are
walking,
some
are
being
bicyclists
I.
AD
A
S
My
name
is
Joe
mama
bear
Davis
and
thank
you
for
listening
to
all
of
us
who
wish
to
place
input
on
this
most
important
Bloomington
issue,
so
I'm,
just
a
regular
working
class
guy,
fiscally
conservative
and
I
want
to
save
money
wherever
it's
possible,
but
I
have
to
say
my
number
one
preference
would
be
to
spend
the
three
million
dollars
I
mean.
Then
everybody
gets
what
they
want.
S
S
So
fortunately
that
didn't
pass,
but
as
a
default
unintended
or
not,
we
did
have
a
taking
of
our
public
parks.
I
live
one
block
from
Seminary.
No
wine
goes
to
Seminary
except
the
unhoused.
I
know
this
because
I've
been
trying
to
collect
signatures
to
get
on
the
ballot
for
office.
Okay,
I
have
spoken
with
many
unhoused
people
who
have
signed
my
petition,
and
they
tell
me
about
how
concerned
they
are
about
the
raising
population
of
Bloomington
that
are
unhoused
and
who
are
unstable,
making
it
safe
unsafe
for
them.
S
They
mostly
keep
to
themselves
because
there's
just
too
much
crazy
Mischief
happening
all
the
time.
I
mean.
Did
everyone
read
the
headline
this
morning
about
the
machetes
I'm
concerned
about
this?
No,
we
had
a.
There
was
a
forum.
This
past
Saturday
and
people
expressed,
including
former
council
member
sturbaum,
how
threatened
he
felt
when
he
would
visit
the
park
with
his
grandson
and
I
know
that
he's
a
tough
guy.
S
AE
AE
AE
AE
One
warm
April
evening
I
was
biking
on
West
Maple,
Grove,
Road,
West
of
the
the
sewage
treatment
plant
up
there
and
I
smelled
a
flower.
It
was
growing
in
one
of
the
wild
areas
between
two
farmers.
Fields
I,
don't
know
anything
about
flowers.
I
can't
tell
you
what
kind
it
was,
but
I
recognized
it.
I
recognized
the
smell.
It
was
very
distinctive.
It
reminded
me
of
my
childhood.
I
grew
up
here
and
I
thought
about
that.
For
a
while.
That
was
right
before
I
turned
40.
and
I
was
beginning
to
notice.
AE
I
didn't
really
enjoy
smelling.
The
flower
I
enjoyed
the
memory.
It
reminded
me
of
my
childhood
once
you
notice
that
sort
of
thing
it's
everywhere:
I
often
don't
enjoy
things
as
they
are
today.
I
enjoy
remembering
my
childhood
and
that's
in
a
nutshell.
Why
I
support
opening
Cascades
to
children,
the
opposition
in
Ivory
on
one
thing,
nothing
is
as
important
as
your
childhood.
These
are
the
memories
that
feed
you
for
your
entire
life.
Even
as
the
world
changes
around
you,
my
child
learned
how
to
ride
his
bike
there.
AE
During
the
pilot
in
April
of
2020.,
we
played
in
parts
of
the
park
we
had
never
played
in
before
or
since
could
still
play
in
the
Rapids
where
cars
used
to
roll
through
this
park
is
a
better
experience
for
kids.
When
there
aren't
cars,
they
are
more
Carefree.
They
travel
further
at
a
younger
age,
which
is
a
huge
huge
epidemic
for
our
age
group,
not
so
much
for
theirs.
AE
When
they
were
younger,
kids
traveled,
they
require
less
supervision.
The
pilot
was
fantastic
for
my
children.
It
was
it
opened
the
park
to
them.
The
park
was
more
beautiful,
more
peaceful,
more
natural.
All
you
heard
were
Birds
cicadas
and
the
creek,
and
sometimes
you
would
hear
a
bike
whiz
by
very
quiet
noise
compared
to
a
car
or
a
cement
truck,
and
sometimes
you
would
hear
laughter.
AE
A
AF
I'm
Charles
Aiken
I
lived
in
Bloomington
it'll,
be
50
years
this
this
month
that
we
moved
here
again.
There's
been
very
good
reasons
given
from
referral
for
for
not
closing
the
road,
the
young
people,
old
people,
the
infirm,
people.
That's
that's
been
addressed
here.
What
hasn't
been
addressed
is
this
seems
to
be
a
a
part
of
a
general
pattern,
the
last
couple
years
in
Bloomington
to
mess
with
traffic,
putting
all
these
to
to
restrict
Lanes.
AF
AF
That's
been
messed
up
pretty
well,
there's
they
put
Islands
in
there.
I
assume
they're
in
conjunction
with
crosswalks,
so
that
people
I
guess,
can
walk
halfway
across
the
street,
wait
for
traffic
and
then
go
the
rest
of
the
way.
The
driving
you're
swerving
around
these
things.
I,
don't
drive
on
whistle
that
much
anymore,
but
I
still
do
drive
on
Winslow
I
have
never
seen
anybody
crossing
the
road
making
use
of
these
islands.
AF
They
should
be
able
to
look
both
ways.
Another
example
using
Winslow
is
heading
East
on
Winslow.
You
want
to
make
a
right-hand
turn
on
Allendale.
There
used
to
be
a
right
turn
lane
there.
You
can
pull
over,
stop
make
your
turn
and
then
the
traffic
going
through
could
be
going
through.
Now,
they've
completely
closed
off
the
right
lane.
All
traffic
has
to
stop
in
a
single
line
and
wait
their
turn
to
go.
They
say
that
these
traffic
circles
are
meant
to
improve
the
flow
of
traffic,
I,
think
closing
off
a
right
turn.
AF
Lane
does
not
improve
the
flow
of
traffic
so
anyway,
my
contention
that
do
not
close
it,
the
the
road
will
have
a
new
Administration
and
a
a
matter
of
months.
Let
them
take
care
of
it.
I
think
the
current
one
has
done
enough
damage
to
traffic,
and
then
we
should
wait
for
the
next
one
to
come
along
and
see
what
they
want
to
do.
Thank
you.

Hello,
my
name
is
Jeremy
your
husky
Schneider
yeah.
Thank
you
from
hearing
from
me,
I'll
make
this
short.
I
grew
up
in
a
lower
middle
class
family
in
Bloomington
and
I
graduated
high
school
from
Bloomington
North
of
2017.
and
I
wish.
This
road
was
closed.
I
would
that
would
have
been
great,
actually
someone
who
did
walk
around
and
couldn't
have
a
car
at
all
times,
and
you
know
like
this.
This
would
have
been
a
great
opportunity
and
I
really
do
hope.
You
consider
closing
it
down.
AG
R
Asked
me
to
read
the
following
announcement
as
his
comment,
which
reads:
there's
an
upcoming
Heat
Wave
and
there
are
cooling
stations.
Opening
Monroe
County
will
be
under
a
heat
advisory
from
8
A.M
on
Thursday
July
27th
through
11
59
pm
on
Friday
July
28th.
Extreme
heat
will
be
a
hazard
for
tomorrow
and
Friday,
as
temperatures
will
rise
to
the
mid
90s
with
a
heat
index
around
105.,
the
Monroe
County
Emergency
Management
agency
will
be
activating
nine
cooling
stations
around
the
county
for
Thursday
July
27th
and
Friday
July
28th.
R
The
cooling
stations
will
be
open
from
9
A.M
to
8
P.M
both
days
the
cooling
stations
served
the
purpose
of
being
a
cool
facility
where
individuals
who
don't
have
a
way
of
staying
cool
can
come
in
for
a
short
period
of
time
to
cool
down
and
continue
on
their
way.
Two
fire
stations
are
opening
their
doors
to
both
humans
and
pets.
During
the
hours
of
the
cooling
station,
Stations
21
and
29
of
the
Monroe
Fire
Protection
District
are
allowing
pets.
However,
pets
must
be
kept
in
a
kennel
or
Carrier.
R
A
A
Okay
and
that'll
conclude,
we
are
just
right
of
time
perfect.
That
concludes
our
first
of
two
periods
of
public
comment
and
I.
Thank
you
all
for
your
comments.
We
will
now
move
into
appointments
to
boards
and
commissions.
Does
interview
team
a
have
any
appointments
to
make
interview
Team,
B
or
inter
oh
interview,
Team
B,
council
member
Flaherty.
E
A
A
Yes
and
that
passes,
and
we
thank
Ms
rankowski
for
her
service-
are
there
any
other
appointments
from
interview
or
recommendations
from
interview,
Team,
B
or
interview
team
C?
Okay,
I
will
take
this
opportunity
to
share.
As
many
folks
know,
our
colleagues,
the
Monroe
County
Commissioners
on
July
5th,
established
a
capital
Improvement
board
that
will
be
working
with
the
project
going
forward
of
the
expansion
of
the
convention
center.
There
are
multiple
bodies
that
have
been
asked
to
make
appointments
to
that
seven-member
board.
City
council
is
one
of
them.
A
I
wanted
to
pull
together
a
special
I'm
pulling
together
a
special
committee
and
I've
drawn
one
member
from
each
of
the
three
interview
teams,
so
I
want
to
council
member
Sandberg
and
council
member
Smith
are
going
to
join
me.
We
will
be
seeking
and
reviewing
applications
for
appointment
to
the
capital,
Improvement
board
and
I
anticipate
that
we
will
come
back
to
council
with
a
recommendation
by
our
September
6th
meeting.
September
6th
September
6th,
so
I
share
that
and
I
thank
council
member
Sandberg
and
Smith
for
their
service.

A
R
H
Listing
of
the
current
Human
Rights
Commission,
our
appointees
and
C1
and
C2,
are
Emma
Williams
and
Byron
Bangert
I
assume
these
are
the
two
names
that
we
want
to
reappoint
to
the
newly
created
commission.
Is
that
correct
I'm
happy
to
make
the
motion?
But
if
a
member
of
the
committee
would
like
to
do
it,
they
can
do
it
instead,
Mr

A
H
H
O
A
E
B
Resolution
23-13
resolution
on
the
hazards
of
artificial
intelligence.
The
synopsis
is
this
resolution
is
sponsored
by
council
member
Rallo.
It
calls
for
officials
at
all
levels
of
government
to
consider
and
acquaint
themselves
with
the
existential
risks
posed
by
artificial
intelligence
and
calls
for
the
imposition
of
a
moratorium
on
artificial
Intel,
artificial
general
intelligence
development.
Until
there
is
a
guarantee
that
the
technology
aligns
with
human
values
and
well-being.
F
Yes,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
and
I
would
first
like
to
thank
Stephen,
Lucas
and
Abby
Epstein
for
their
assistance,
their
help
on
Crafting
this
resolution.
This
follows
a
statement
that
I
made
Council
statement
that
I
made
on
June
21st,
where
I
expressed
my
concerns
about
this
technology,
and
what
I
would
like
this
resolution
to
do
is
raise
awareness
and
draw
attention
of
our
elected
representatives
to
the
threat
and
I'm
motivated
by
the
by
the
need
to
ensure
that
the
safety
of
the
public
Humanity
actually
because
the
risks
are,
are
profound.
F
This
the
resolution
doesn't
specify
the
duration
of
time.
Some
have
said
that
it
needs
to
be
longer.
In
any
case,
what's
needed
is
a
pause
until
the
alignment
problem
can
be
solved
and,
as
Miss
McDowell
said,
the
alignment
refers
to
the
alignment
of
human
values
with
human
values
and
human
well-being.
F
So,
broadly
speaking,
there
are
two
categories
of
AI
and
this
does
not
pertain
to
the
functional
specific,
narrow
AI
that
is
being
developed
for
purposes
of
specific
tasks
in
mind.
So,
for
instance,
there's
AI
that
plays
chess,
there's
AI
that
image
that
does
Imaging
interpretation,
there's
AI,
that
does
stock
trading
and
so
forth.
So
those
are
specific
categories,
specific
tasks
that
the
AI
engages
in
on
the
other
category
is
artificial,
general
intelligence,
and
this
aims
to
model
human
intelligence
with
an
explicit
or
implicit
goal
of
achieving,
essentially
sense,
self-awareness
and
perhaps
sentience
and
agency.
F
But
this
is
dangerous,
because
we've
never
really
had
to
deal
with
a
an
intelligence
that
is
capable
has
greater
capability
than
human
beings,
in
fact,
potentially
orders
of
magnitude,
greater
intelligence,
maybe
a
thousand
times
greater
intelligence,
maybe
a
million
times
greater
intelligence.
So
this
is
why
these
industry
leaders
are
looking
to
place
a
pause
on
this
technology.
F
So
much
good
can
come
from
narrow,
AI.
There's
no
question:
there
is
a
downside
to
narrow
AI.
A
lot
of
it
is
Dual.
Purpose
I
mean
think
of
Designing
cancer
cures.
That
would
be
a
wonderful
thing
for
Humanity.
However,
the
same
technology
might
be
able
to
working
with
synthetic
biology
to
work
on
bioweapons.
F
F
So
let
me
go
through
the
the
resolution,
because
I
don't
want
to
spend
an
excess
amount
of
time,
so
I'm
going
to
I'm
going
to
try
for
brevity
to
cut
out
some
some
of
this
so
proceeding
to
the
language
of
the
ordinance.
The
first
clause
introduces
the
fact
that
the
computational
capacity
of
AI
is
increasing
exponentially.
It's
it's
increasing
in
a
hockey
stick
fashion,
not
in
linear
fashion,
so
between
the
Years,
2012
and
2019.
There's
been
a
300
000
fold
increase
incapacity
of
compute.
So
now
the
doubling
time
is
every
3.4
months.
F
That's
why
that's
why
I
think
there's
an
urgency
there,
that's
expressed
by
a
number
of
people
within
the
the
industry.
The
second
wearer
is
Clause
talks
about,
but
just
the
displacement
of
jobs.
That's
going
to
be
inevitable
and
I.
You
know
we
could
argue,
there
will
be
jobs
created,
but
there
is
going
to
be
displacement,
but
it
shows
that
it
will
have
a
profound
effect
on
the
labor
market.
F
That's
something
to
be
aware
of
AI
Technologies,
including
the
large
language
models
which
use
this
parallel
processing
of
Transformers
to
create
a
neural
net.
Network
are
recognized
to
post
threats
for
misuse
as
well.
I
mean
that's
been
recognized
by
the
federal
government.
It's
been
recognized
by
industry
experts,
the
fourth,
where
is
Clause,
speaks
to
in
a
competitive
market.
F
The
private
technology
companies
are
endeavoring
to
create
the
most
advanced
versions
of
AI.
That's
happening
as
we
speak,
chat
gpt4,
for
instance.
It's
the
latest
large
language
model
and
people
are
becoming
now
aware
of
it
and
and
the
profound
effects
that
it's
having
in
society,
Clause
5,
is.
The
aim
of
many
companies
to
create
artificial
general
intelligence.
Agi
is,
is
an
AI
capable
of
the
human
attributes
of
deduction
reasoning,
self-awareness,
human-like,
cognitive
abilities
that
would
far
exceed
the
general
intelligence
of
human
beings
by
orders
of
magnitude
researchers
from
Cornell
University.
F
This
is
Clause
number
six
contend
that
chat
GPT
for
a
language
processing
tool
driven
by
a
attack.
Ai
technology
is
an
early
form
of
this
AGI,
so
we
can
kind
of
Glimpse
what
it's
going
to
be,
what
what
it's
going
to
be
capable
of
that
can
perform
novel
and
difficult
tasks
close
to
human
level
performance.
A
lot
of
surprises,
I,
might
add
by
those
who
actually
created
it,
Without
Really
any
idea
of
how
it
came
about
coming
up
with
its
answers.
F
So
the
capability
is
heading
exponentially.
The
alignment
is
heading
at
a
sort
of
a
linear
fashion.
It's
a
very
difficult
question:
how
do
you
program
in
human
values,
because
values
differ
among
human
beings
and
values
are
relative
to
some
degree
because,
depending
upon
context
depending
upon
situation?
So
that's
that's
one
problem
with
it.
Another
problem
is
simply
resources.
These
companies
have
spent
very
little
comparatively
with
the
capability
aspect
of
AI
general
intelligence.
F
The
next,
whereas
clause,
experts
in
alignment,
research
have
warned
the
creating
super
intelligent
AI
before
solving
the
enlightenment
problem
could
lead
to
catastrophic
outcomes.
So
imagine
controlling
a
being
that
has
far
superior
intelligence
to
you.
I
mean
not
just
sort
of
compared
to
us
and
chimpanzees,
which
might
be
an
order
of
magnitude,
I,
don't
know,
but
think
of
something
a
thousand
times
smarter.
F
How
are
you
going
to
keep
that
in
a
box?
And
that's
that's
the
why
many
experts
are
alarmed
the
next
rarest.
Clause
speaks
to
the
letter
that
I
referred
to
the
the
statement
on
March
22nd
2023,
the
future
of
Life
Institute,
published
an
open
letter
calling
for
all
AI
labs
to
observe
a
six-month
moratorium
on
certain
AI
development,
which
subsequently
has
been
signed
by
over
a
thousand
notable
technology,
industry
leaders
and
many
more
thousands
of
individuals.
F
Who
works
with
a
group
called
The
Machine
intelligence,
Research
Institute?
He
spent
a
couple
of
decades
working
on
the
alignment
problem
and
he
said
admittedly,
they've
had
difficulties
achieving
that
and
what
he
says
is
that
that
moratorium
needs
to
be
implemented
to
prevent
Humanity's
Extinction.
F
F
The
last,
whereas
Clause
refers
to
Jeffrey
Hinton
and
New
York
Times
article
there
were,
there
were
several
Founders
essentially
of
AI
and
Jeffrey
Hinton
is
considered
the
Godfather
of
AI
and
he's
a
former
vice
president
of
engineering
at
Google,
and
he
quit
that
job
right
after
that
letter
was
signed
and
decided
to
apply
himself
to
the
safety
question,
and
what
he
has
warned
is
that
Humanity
will
not
be
able
to
limit
ai's
potential.
Believes
the
technology
is
an
imminent
existential
threat.
F
So
that's
that's
the
guy
who
started
the
whole
thing
going
back
in
the
1970s
I
believe
so
the
sections
where
it's
resolved.
We
resolved
that
elected
officials
at
all
levels
of
government
are
urged
to
fully
understand
AI
technology
and
its
potential
hazards.
That
seems
self-evident.
They
need
to
understand
it
in
order
to
regulate
it
because
the
industry
can't
regulate
itself.
F
It
takes
government
to
do
that.
Section.
Two
Federal
Representatives
urged
to
determine
the
extent
of
the
existential
threats
opposed
by
artificial
general
intelligence.
That
is
the
one
that's
modeling
human,
the
human
mind
with
the
idea
of
achieving
super
intelligence
and
to
consider
whether
a
super,
intelligent
AGI
could
be
controlled
by
a
much
less
intelligent
beings
such
as
humans,
Section,
3
Federal
Representatives
urged
to
impose
a
moratorium
restricting
AGI
development
until
AGI
alignment
with
human
values
and
well-being
is
guaranteed.
O
Thank
you,
councilmember
Rallo,
one
of
the,
whereas
is
and
I
guess,
I'm
interested
in
in
this
alignment
with
human
values
and
well-being
and
I
guess
I'm
asking
for
that,
and
it
is
a
concern
or
a
fear.
I
guess
of
AI,
but
I
know
that
we
from
a
human
value
standpoint,
so
we've
already
been
pretty
damn
cruel
to
each
other
and
mistreated
people.
So
I
guess
now
we're
worried
about
AI
and
maybe
the
majority
or
the
necessary
amount
of
people
not
so
much
in
the
past.
O
F
It's
probably
beyond
what
I
can
answer,
but
I
would
agree
with
you,
we're
still
evolving
socially
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
fair
Equitable
Society
for
everyone.
There's
clear
that
we're
not
even
to
that
point
right.
So
in
order
to
establish
a
machine
or
a
you
know,
a
being
that
has
our
welfare
in
mind.
Everyone's
a
welfare
in
mind
is
going
to
be
complicated.
It's
going
to
be
very
difficult,
so
here's
here's
one,
here's
one
example
where
it's
complicated,
so
we
value
truth-tilling.
F
We
should
say
you
know
just
on
the
face
of
it.
Everyone
should
tell
the
truth,
but
do
you
tell
the
truth
in
every
circumstance?
If
the
Nazis
come
to
your
door
and
say
where
are
the
Jews?
Do
you
tell
them
where
they
are?
You?
Don't
you
don't
tell
the
truth
in
that
case,
so
it's
very
complicated
how
this
so
the
moral
thing
to
do
is
not
to
do
that.
Obviously
so
it's
it
becomes
very
complicated
on
the
in.
F
In
the
realm
of
context,
then,
there's
just
the
fact
that
a
general
artificial
intelligence
could
have
an
objective
where
it
may
be
just
indifferent
to
people
in
our
and
our
welfare.
In
other
words,
it
may
not
be
malevolent
malevolent
in
any
sense,
may
not
even
intentionally
want
to
do
away
with
us,
but
we
just
sort
of
get
in
the
way
of
whatever
its
objective
is
so
there's
so
much
to
consider
in
this
and
I
I.
Take
that
question
very
I.
Think
it's
it's
a
superb
question,
because
it
just
reveals
how
difficult
this
problem
is.
O
F
O
F
It
takes
government
to
regulate
the
industry,
the
industry
can't
self-regulate
and
the
government
will
be
required
to
have
that
those
agreements
that
it
would
be
International
nature,
so
the
industry
are
racing
toward
this
and
they're
saying
we
can't
stop,
because
if
we
don't
make
the
next
advancement
Google
will
right
or
some
other
company
well
and
so
it
takes
so.
This
is
why
they
made
a
plea:
put
a
pause:
have
a
moratorium
have
a
pause
until
we
can
get
ahead
of
this.
O
Lastly,
if
I
may,
when
you
get
to
the
back
of
this
elected
officials,
are
of
all
levels
are
urged
to
fully
understand
AI
technology
and
its
potential
hazards.
How
do
you
suggest,
and
particularly
since
it's
evolving
so
quickly,
and
so
how
do
we
ever
get
ahead
of
that
and
me
personally?
How
do
I
am
I
able
to
understand
that
and
I
will
tell
you
I'm
still
having
a
hard
time
trying
to
understand
how
we've
treated
our
fellow
human
beings
over
the
history
of
this
country?
So
how
can
I
understand
this?
O
F
D
F
You
know
my
background
is
in
science
and
so
I
understand
the
exponential
function
and
when
things
next
financial,
it's
very
it's
very
different
than
you
can't
you
don't
look
at
the
past
and
project
into
the
future
in
a
linear
way.
It's
completely
off
scale.
It
can
double.
You
know
the
doubling
time.
3.4
months
is
astounding,
so
that
would
be
one
thing
for
them
to
understand.
Is
that
this
technology
is
proceeding
so
quickly
that
the
regulation,
the
discussion
on
regulation,
needs
to
happen
right
away.
F
So
now
you
need
to
get
the
best
people
in
the
room,
the
best
experts
to
say,
okay,
how
do
we
go
about
ensuring
that
this
is
safe
and
what
is
it?
What
is
required
and,
in
the
meantime,
just
make
a
pause
until
you,
until
the
human
beings
can
catch
up
until
elected
officials
can
catch
up
because
I'm,
not
an
I.T
person,
I,
don't
know
the
ins
and
outs
of
AI,
but
what
I've
learned,
alarms
me
and
I
do
think
it's
a
it's.
A
threat.
F
F
F
H
D
H
I
mean
I
was
just
wondering
like:
were
they
phrasing
it
in
a
similar
way
or
were
they
focusing
on
other
on
some
aspect
of
AI
like
automated
decisions,
or
you
know,
I
mean
like
artificial
intelligence
involved
in
the
trading
of
stocks
or
in
making
decisions
you
know
like?
Is
that?
Is
there
anything
specific
out
there
that
anybody
is
talking
about
they're?
Just
talking
about
the
general
principles
that
you
have
put
forward.
F
As
I
said,
this
is
sort
of
there's
a
lot
of
Technology.
This
technology
is
dual
use
in
many
ways
it
can
it
can.
It
can
result
in
fabulous
benefits
of
solving
problems.
We
have
a
very
difficult
time
conceiving
of
how
we
address
climate
change.
For
instance,
this
could
be
applied
to
that
and
have
tremendous
benefits.
F
But
you
know
there
is
the
other
potential
dark
side
like
any
other
technology,
I
suppose,
like
many
Technologies,
the
one
that
I
chose
to
address
was
the
artificial
general
intelligence,
which
is
the
the
biggest
problem.
I
say
the
most
alarming
thing,
because
this
is
what
the
industry
leaders
are
pointing
to
in
terms
of
a
potential
terminal
event
for
us
that
is
we're
creating
something.
That's
going
to
succeed
us
and
so
I
thought
I'd
start
there.
F
Otherwise,
at
lower
levels,
it
just
gets
too
complicated
and
it's
going
to
have
to
fall
to
our
representatives
to
regulate
it
in
some
way,
I'm
sure,
because
all
those
things
are
very
dangerous,
I
mean
imagine
terrorists
getting
a
hold
of.
You
know
this
technology
and
using
it
to
design
various
things
so
I
left
it
at
that.
I
made
it
rather
simple
to
address
the
human
modeling
aspect,
so
thank.
H
A
F
Well,
I
think
going
forward.
I
think
the
threat
is
urgent.
I
think
that
it's,
if
you
look
at
the
signatories,
they're
very
broad-based
in
industry
in
academe,
there's
been
people
in
Congress
talking
about
it,
and
so
this
is
an
attempt
at
a
local
level
to
essentially
try
to
activate
the
attention
to
something.
That's
in
immense
danger
to
everybody
in
immediate
danger
to
everybody:
I
mean
I,
I
I,
frankly,
don't
know
why
a
pause
in
order
to
ensure
human
well-being
and
safety
would
be
objected
to
by
anyone.
A
A
F
L
F
I
I'm
not
in
the
industry,
but
there's
a
spectrum
of
people
who
believe
that
they
can
do
it
so
open
AI,
just
dedicated
I
can't
remember
30
of
their
of
their
capital
resources
to
developing
the
alignment
and
they
think
they
can
do
it.
They
think
they
can
do
it
in
a
short
term.
There
are
others,
as
I've
said
who
say,
can't
do
it
so
there's
a
there's,
a
there's.
A
R
If
there
are
members
of
the
public
joining
us
on
zoom
and
would
like
to
speak
to
this
item,
please
let
us
know
by

the

which
you

You
can
also
send

Let
us

you'd
like
to
speak.
AH
And
economic
vibrancy,
and
that
means
opportunity
for
our
neighbors
economic
development
at
its
heart,
is
about
people
first,
and
we
should
always
be
asking
these
questions
that
you're
asking
about
how
advancements
impact
our
communities
and
impact
our
neighbors.
We
very
much
share
I
think
those
values
that
are
being
discussed
here
today,
and
we
also
want
to
thank
council
members
for
caring
so
deeply
about
our
community,
that
we
ask
these
questions
as
a
community
as
well.
AH
Our
community
is
also
very
uniquely
positioned
for
a
conversation
like
this
we're
a
hub
on
the
Innovation
Corridor
that
runs
from
Indianapolis
to
nswc
Crane
Indiana
University
has
leaders
in
Ai
and
machine
learning
and
digital
ethics
as
well,
and
we
have
over
50
companies
that
are
based
here,
working
in
Tech,
the
U.S
chips
and
science.
Act
is
bringing
opportunities
to
our
region
when
it
comes
to
investments
in
technology.
AH
So
what
is
our
role
as
a
community
here,
and
what
message
do
we
wish
to
send
as
a
community?
Together,
as
we've
seen
from
our
history,
it's
difficult
to
stop
technological
advancements,
rather
than
simply
calling
for
a
moratorium.
We
instead
have
a
chance
to
lead
as
a
community
with
all
the
expertise
that
is
here.
Our
community
has
agency
in
a
way
that
many
other
communities
do
not.
AH
We
have
experts
that
are
already
asking
these
hard
questions,
questions
that
absolutely
should
be
asked.
We
as
a
community
can
shape
the
conversation
from
a
place
of
expertise,
not
at
all
glossing
over
the
important
questions
that
council,
member,
Rallo,
Sims
and
others
have
raised
here.
We
should
be
engaging
in
these
questions,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
that
we
should
take
to
lead
in
this
conversation
as
a
community.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
consideration.
Thank
you.
AA
Ai
learns
from
experience
at
the
the
predominant
forms
of
AI
are
trained
on
very
large
sets
of
data.
I
mean
unimaginably
large
sets
of
data.
These
days,
they're
trained
to
find
patterns
in
the
data
that
are
too
noisy
to
to
chaotic
for
humans
generally
to
be
able
to
to
capture
the
machines,
can
do
it
almost
effortlessly,
but
they
are
trained
to
work
toward
a
goal
and
the
AI
is
useless
without
a
goal
and
the
goal
is
generally
set
by
its
developer.
It's
a
it's.
AA
AA
So
you
train
an
algorithm
to
decide
who
gets
a
loan
and
who
doesn't
if
the
history
that
you're
training
it
on
contains
a
pattern
of
discrimination
against
certain
members
of
society.
The
machine
will
learn
to
do
the
same
thing.
I
would
suggest
that
maybe
in
a
future
resolution,
the
city
might
resolve
never
to
adopt
those
sorts
of
algorithms
for
its
own
hiring
or
financial
decision
making.
That
would
be
a
worthwhile
goal.
Thank
you.
AI
Hi
this
is
Luke
Judd.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
please
go
ahead.
Okay,
I
probably
should
have
used
chat
gbt
to
form
these
thoughts.
It's
just
kind
of
scribbles
on
paper
right
now,
but
first
my
question
is
really.
What
do
you
think
your
job
is
here
like
I,
don't
understand
these
symbolic
resolutions?
It
seems
to
be
a
waste
of
time.
There
are
actual
problems
in
this
town
to
deal
with.
AI
It
feels
like
every
time
Mr
Roller
was
pressed
to
explain
he
kind
of
leaned
on
fear-mongering
and
seems
to
be
sort
of
cherry
picking,
extreme
perspectives
in
order
to
push
this
forward,
which
is
not
that
surprising,
since
he
is
a
self-admitted,
911,
truther
and
conspiracy
theory
thinking
is
kind
of
what
leads
you
to
this
sort
of
thing.
You
cherry
pick,
you
find
what
you
want
to
see
in
it
and-
and
you
live
in
confirmation
bias
to
Jim
Sims
point
I.
AI
Think
that
he's
also
been
very
silent
on
trans
or
gay
rights.
Stuff!
That's
coming
down
from
the
state
house
which,
actually,
as
a
city
council,
you
could
actually
have
an
effect
on
maybe
or
at
least
be
heard
rather
than
these
Federal
suggestions
that
seem
to
be
kind
of
a
waste
of
time
like.
Why?
Don't
we
right
now
like?
Why?
Don't
we
work
on
something
to
about
regulating
machetes
being
carried
in
public?
AI
AC
A
AB
Right
I
spoke
earlier,
but
I
didn't
know,
I'd
be
speaking
on
on
this,
but
it
occurred
to
me
that
I
don't
know
much
about
AI,
but
what
I
have
learned
about
it
is
that
I
agree
with
Mr
Rollo
that
it's
something
that
needs
to
be
taken.
A
look
at
and
I
agree
that
it
needs
to
be
looked
at
by
every
nation
that
has
the
technology
to
go
that
direction.
AB
AB
AB
If
you
disagree
with
the
machine
that
could
be
the
end
of
you,
that
might
be
an
extreme
statement,
but
what
I'm
getting
across
is
that
this
doesn't
need
to
be
looked
at.
But
the
other
question
that
occurred
to
me,
Mr
Rallo,
is
that
you
have
a
count.
A
resolution
here
that
is
looked
at
and
I
listened
carefully
to
it,
but
I
guess
what
occurred
to
me
is
what
what
is
the
objective
of
the
resolution?
A
H
Science
fiction
has
been
contemplating
this
moment
for
a
long
time
for
a
century
at
least
Carol
kappick's
coining
of
the
word
robot
Isaac
asimov's,
three
laws
of
robotics
Arthur,
C,
Clarke's,
nine
billion
names
of
God.
If
you've
been
paying
attention,
you
could
predict
this
situation.
Moore's
law
has
been
operating
for
50
years.
It
said
the
number
of
transistors
you
can
cram
into
a
space
will
double
every
18
months.
H
H
H
I
know
that
it'll
be
worse.
If
legislation
comes
further
down
the
road
as
a
reaction
to
some
terrorist
event
involving
the
use
of
AI,
the
world
will
panic
and
do
something
rash
and
we
I
don't
blame
councilman
Rallo
for
his
impulse
to
try
to
get
out
ahead
of
the
problem.
We've
always
been
shaped
by
our
technology
as
quickly
as
we've
been
able
to
create
it.
H
The
Specter
of
Hal
from
Clark's
2001,
A,
Space
Odyssey,
was
raised
tonight,
but
I
think
that
ideas
that
more
popularly
inform
fears
of
AI
are
Skynet
from
the
Terminator
movie
series
and
the
whole
idea
of
The
Matrix
councilmember
Sims
makes
a
better
Point.
Automated
decision
making,
for
example,
that
involves
AI,
is
a
particular
topic
of
concern
that
you're
starting
to
see
research
in
in
state
houses
around
the
country,
because
it
can
reify
existing
discrimination
in
the
biases
of
the
programmers.
You
can
go
before
that
to
an
earlier
form
of
Technology.
H
If
you
are
familiar
with
the
Shirley
card,
the
Shirley
card
was
a
photo
used
to
test
early
film,
developing
machines
and
it
always
featured
white
people,
and
so
it
made
black
people
show
up
poorly
in
photochemistry.
That
was
designed
primarily
for
white
people.
There's
a
long
history
of
Technology,
reflecting
the
biases
of
its
creators.
H
H
25
different
states
are
considering
some
kind
of
legislation
related,
however,
tangentially
to
AI,
not
as
many
are
doing
it
as
seriously
as
Mr
Rallo
has
California
and
DC
appear
to
be
the
ones
that
are
farthest
ahead,
but
even
Louisiana
has
passed
a
law
officially
studying
the
impact
of
AI
on
on
certain
kinds
of
decision
making.
So
you
know
I
respectfully
disagree
with
Mr
Judd's
question
about
what
our
role
is
here
and
whether
Mr
rallo's
legislation
is
appropriate.
H
I
mean
I'm
sympathetic
to
his
criticism,
but
I
also
disagree
that
a
resolution
from
us
can't
have
influence
I
share
Mr
rallo's
desire
to
get
out
ahead
of
the
existential
threats
that
AI
potentially
represents.
The
question
is:
how
will
this
resolution
have
an
impact
on
our
own
State
Legislature
Indiana
is
not
one
of
the
states
having
considering
any
legislation
involving
AI
I.
Don't
know
that
it's
a
particularly
partisan
issue
at
the
moment,
but
I
don't
see
this
resolution
influencing
the
state
enough
to
take
action,
especially
with
the
state's
Flagship
University.
H
Normally
a
sympathetic
partner
to
City
concerns
having
sent
us
email
from
several
different
sources,
saying
that
they
were
opposed
to
it,
so
I
want
to
commend
them
for
bringing
it
to
our
attention.
I
just
feel
that
it's
to
it's,
not
I,
don't
want
to
say
it's
too
vague.
It's
not
so
much
that
it's
too
vague
is
that
it's
just
as
as
dramatic
as
the
increase
in
AI
potential
is
increasing
is
dramatically
it's
just
increasing.
H
J
J
So
there's
an
economic
piece
to
all
this
as
well:
we've
had
reference
to
dystopian
tales
with
A,
Space,
Odyssey
and
and
how-
and
certainly
there
have
been
a
lot
of
dystopian
novels
that
are
coming
to
light
these
days,
1984
Fahrenheit
451
with
censoring
and
book
Banning
and
the
handmaid's
tale,
with
women's
erosion
of
our
Reproductive,
Rights
and
so
I
do
not
fault
council
member
Rallo
for
bringing
this
to
our
attention.
This
is
what
a
resolution
does.
This
is
what
we're
thinking
about
this
is
what
we're
concerned
about.
J
Do
we,
as
a
city
council,
have
any
ability
to
do
much
about
it?
No
other
than
use
our
platform
here
to
sound
the
alarm.
We
welcome
IU
and
their
Scholars
and
academics
to
join
this,
the
tech
sector.
We
welcome
that
bot.
This
message
is
to
our
lawmakers,
our
Congress,
our
president,
the
people
that
are
in
a
position
to
regulate
potential
damage.
That
can
be
quite
catastrophic
if
things
you
know
spiral
out
of
control
without
proper
governmental
regulation
and
so
I
will
be
supporting
it
and
I
realize
it's
a
general
motion.
J
O
O
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
I
fully
agree
with
the
concept
of
what
this
resolution
says:
I,
just
I,
guess
the
word
and
council
member
volen
was
said:
something
wasn't
full
or
was
it
I,
don't
know
quite
the
word,
I
can't
remember,
but
I'm
going
to
say
I
just
don't
think
it's
fully
baked
just
to
lack
a
better
term.
It's
a
little
bit
disturbing
to
me
that
we
have
technology.
O
Folks
in
town
we
have
Ludy
School,
we've
got
other
folks
and
they
need
to
be
involved
in
this
conversation
for
it
to
have
meaning
we're
going
to
draft
it,
we'll
send
it
up
to
Indianapolis
and
it's
going
to
fall
on
death,
air
deaf
ears,
I,
don't
know
what
Mr
Luke
Judd
was
getting
at
about
sexual
orientation
and
different
stuff,
and
even
mentioning
my
name
and
the
same
stuff.
That's
not
where
I
was
going.
O
O
O
O
O
They
I'm
not
so
sure
that,
but
that's
part
of
the
conversation
I
just
want
to
share
with
everyone
so,
and
we
have
done
other
resolutions,
we've
done
things
on
proliferation
of
nuclear
weapons
that
we
all
know,
that's
probably
not
going
to
do
anything
with
regard
to
Indian
Indianapolis
legislation
or
some
of
our
world
leaders,
but
we
took
a
position
to
say
that
is
not
something
that
we
agree
with
and
will
not
support
and
want
others
to
know.
This
falls
into
that
category
with
me
and
I
still
will
question.
O
I
still
would
like
to
participate
in
future
conversations.
I
still
would
like
to
hear
from
Ludy
folks
from
some
of
our
technology
people
some
of
those
that
have
those
viewpoints
on
where
this
could
go,
but
I
see
no
reason
not
to
support
this
effort.
But
I
am
my
colleague
this
evening,
but
I
do
really
really
hope
that
we
have
more
conversations
because
I
think
we
got
some
stuff
to
talk
about
well
before
we
get
to
the
results
of
AI.
Let's
talk
about
how
we
treat
each
other
in
the
first
place.
Q
Hi
thanks
I
I'm,
going
to
be
brief.
I'm
sorry,
there's
a
dog
tugging
on
my
laptop
I
want
to
say
that
I
think
that
this
is
something
that
our
community
needs
to
have
further
conversations
on.
I
agree
with
the
bedc
and
other
members
of
council
that
have
said
we
should
work
with
the
community.
We
have
a
lot
of
experts
in
this
space
beyond,
especially
the
Luddy
School,
see
what
they're
up
to
and
so
tonight,
I
don't
plan
on
supporting
this
thanks.
C
C
C
So,
although
I
I
also
am
concerned
about
artificial
intelligence
and
just
to
throw
out
another
pop
culture,
reference
I
went
to
see
the
last
mission
impossible
movie
last
weekend
and
the
entities
you
know
this
General
artificial
intelligence
that
is
taking
over
everything
so
and
and
I,
appoint
well
taken
that
councilmember
Samberg
raised
this.
You
know
some
of
these
dystopian
novels
are
coming
true,
so
we
there
there
are
definitely
concerns
with
AI,
but
I
just
feel
like.
C
AC
F
F
It's
not
a
really
extreme
perspective,
I'm
reading
that
over
1100
experts
in
the
field
are
alarmed
enough
that
they
want
a
moratorium
immediately,
even
though
they're
on
the
cusp
of
basically
launching
new
models
that
could
make
a
lot
of
money
so-
and
this
was
in
the
New
York
Times
and
you
can
read
it
in
Forbes
and
you
can
read
it
elsewhere.
It's
it's
not
some
kind
of
Fringe
idea.
This
is
something
that
is
happening
very
quickly.
F
There's
no
doubt
and
that's
why
I've
acted
quickly
to
bring
this
forward
I'm
proposing
this
too,
because
as
we're
all
tasked
with
the
health,
safety
and
Welfare
of
the
community,
it
obviously
affects
the
health,
safety
and
Welfare
for
everybody.
Ultimately,
our
survival
does
this
you
know:
does
it
have
any
teeth?
Well,
no,
it's
a
it's
essentially
a
rhetorical
tool,
but
I
still
have
hope
that
town
halls
matter
that
democracy
does
filter
up
from
above
that
somebody
might
be
listening
to
us
I'm.
F
Not
so
cynical
to
think
that
nobody
will
care
and
I,
don't
think
that
this
is
a
partisan
issue
either
I
think
there
seems
to
be
alarm
from
across
the
political
Spectrum
right
now
about
this
technology.
In
fact,
I
think
it
might
have
the
potential
to
actually
bring
people
together,
as
opposed
to
this
pulling
apart
that
we've
seen
in
society,
there
was
a
that
the
specific
mentioned
by
Mr
Dorfman
about
that
AI
can't
program
itself.
F
Actually
it
can
through
recursive
adaptation,
that's
something
that
is
being
essentially
experimented
with
right
now,
so
the
machines
can
evolve
themselves
and
how
that
ends
up.
We
won't
know,
but
unlike
biological
evolution,
which
takes
many
generations
to
make
any
difference
in
intelligence,
the
machines
could
become
super
intelligent
in
a
matter
of
hours
days.
F
R
A
A
A
I
D
F
B
3-14
to
initiate
amendments
to
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
regarding
accessible
transportation
and
Mobility
principles.
The
synopsis
is
this
resolution
sponsored
by
council
member
volen,
directs
the
plan
commission
to
prepare
an
amendment
to
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
consistent
with
four
accessible
transportation
and
Mobility
principles.
H
You
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
too
much
detail
here.
I
think
that
the
resolution
is
mostly
self-explanatory,
but
just
to
give
people
a
synopsis.
This
is
a
language
that
has
been
prepared
not
only
with
Council
staff,
but
with
the
help
of
a
community
advocate
Deborah
Meyerson
and
Michael
shermis
in
the
community,
Family
Resources
Department,
who
is
now,
among
other
things,
the
human
rights
coordinator.
H
We've
been
working
since
the
beginning
of
the
year
to
take
principles
that
Ms
Myerson
advocated
in
this
chamber
late
last
year
and
to
prepare
them
so
that
they
could
be
included
in
the
city's
Transportation
plan,
which
was
adopted
in
2019
and
is
an
amendment
to
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
which
is
adopted
a
year
earlier,
all
of
which
was
a
pretty
arduous
thing.
As
I
noted
earlier
tonight.
H
Task
in
both
cases,
this
would
represent
the
first
proposal
to
modify
any
part
of
the
comprehensive
plan
since
they
were
adopted,
which
is
a
little
surprising
to
me,
but
I
thought
that
the
logic
of
Ms
myerson's
principles
which
came
out
of
the
commission
I
think
that
she
I
think
the
CCA
that
I
thought
that
it
was
pretty
straightforward
matter
of
writing
them
up
for
inclusion
in
the
transportation
plan.
So
this
resolution
is
the
first
step
in
the
normal
process
of
amending
one
any
of
our.
You
know
officially
adopted
plans.
H
It
calls
for
the
plan
commission
to
prepare
an
amendment
to
the
plan
that
we
then
adopt
after
they
approve
it.
So
this
is
that
first
step
and
it
basically
boils
down
the
I
think
that
when
Ms
Myerson
presented
the
principles
in
late
2022,
there
were
five
of
them.
We
boiled
them
down
to
four,
but
basically
the
legislative.
H
Over
and
above
access
and
speed
for
cars
and
trucks
through
funding
for
infrastructure
such
as
well-maintained
sidewalks,
readily
available
ramps
and
accessible
Transit
stops
and
finally,
number
four
to
ensure
accountability
to
document
and
evaluate
progress
on
implementation
of
the
municipalities,
Ada
transition
plan,
which
is
also
the
driver
of
this
resolution,
that
we
have
to
fulfill
the
transition
plan
and
to
do
so
by
updating
the
the
the
comprehensive
plans,
data
and
revising
its
goals.
At
least
biennially.
H
This
legislation
Also
may
be
unusual
in
that
normally,
when
we
call
for
the
planned
commission
to
when
we
try
to
initiate
a
change
to
our
plans.
The
plant
commission
has
a
60-day
window
in
which
to
react,
but
planning
staff
which
did
not
they
were
not
able
to
stay
tonight.
Mr
Robinson
could
not
stay
to
address
this,
but
planning
staff
is
already
preparing
a
number
of
other,
not
necessarily
related
changes
to
our
comprehensive
plan,
they're,
anticipating
bringing
them
forward
in
the
spring,
and
so
in
order
to
harm
they
felt
that
this
would
be.
H
They
would
prefer
it
if
it
came
for
the
plant
commission
to
codify
in
the
spring.
I
didn't
have
an
issue
with
that.
I
just
wanted
to
get
it
on
the
books,
so
this
resolution
calls
for
them
to
take
up
to
300
days
to
include
this
change
in
the
raft
of
other
changes
that
they
plan
to
the
comprehensive
plan
rather
than
the
normal
60
days.
So
that's
the
only
other
unusual
thing,
but
at
heart
this
is
a
an
affirmative,
assertive
effort
to
include
the
disabled
to
include
accessible
Mobility.
H
F
F
Resolution,
but
to
be
actualized
it's
it
seems
that
it's
going
to
be
costing
quite
a
sum
of
money
is
in
order
to
implement.
You
know
that
kind
of
accessibility.
It
will
require
the
infrastructure,
and
so
we
will
you
know
we
will
have
to
find
the
money
for
it
and
I'm
not
I'm,
not
making
a
value
judgment
about
whether
we
should
or
not
I'm.
Just
simply
saying,
how
would
you
respond
to
that.
H
H
But
one
thing
that
we
don't
guarantee
right
now
is
to
ensure,
for
example,
that
people
with
mobility
issues
are
proactively
consulted
on
the
decisions
that
we
make
about
infrastructure.
We
don't
formally
include
them.
We
have
I
mean
just
as
a
good
point.
The
council
for
Community
accessibility
is
one
of
two
commissions
that
we
have
in
the
city
that
have
no
membership
requirement
that
we
don't
appoint
people
to
the
council.
H
Anyone
can
join
it
I
think
as
a
result
of
that,
while
some
entities
in
city
government
take
it
seriously,
not
enough
do
because
they're
not
duly
appointed,
and
this
doesn't
necessarily
change
the
nature
of
that
commission,
but
it
does
formally
call
for
I
mean
we
do
have
an
officer
again.
Michael
Sherman
is
there
to
try
to
address
issues.
It's
a
human
rights
issue.
It
falls
under
human
rights
issue,
so
I
I.
Don't
think
that
this
these
resolutions
obligate
us
to
spend
any
particular
amount
of
money.
H
If
anything,
you
would
have
had
a
better
argument
if
I
had
called
for
it
to
be
codified
within
60
days,
because
that
would
require
staff
time,
and
that
would
be
a
fiscal
impact,
but
I
agreed
that
it
was
okay
if
it
waited
until
they
brought
other
changes,
and
so
300
days
was
what
they
felt
they
needed
and
I.
Without
that,
I
think
there
would
have
been
a
fiscal
impact,
but
I
don't
think
that
there
is
otherwise.
D
O
Thank
you,
I
would
ask
the
sponsor
being
that
this
is
a
resolution
that
is
non-bonding
and,
as
I
heard
earlier,
has
no
teeth,
but
this
specifically
part
of
the
synopsis
directs
the
planned
commission
to
do
something
that
is
really
non-binding
and
if
you
could
address
that
just
a
bit
and
also
changing
the
60-day
turnaround,
I
think
by
by
saying
well
I
know
this
is
different.
It'll
be
300
days.
Well,
basically,
five
of
us
here
tonight
is
not
going
to
be
here
next
year.
O
Okay,
more
than
half
of
us
is
not
going
to
be
here
and
I'm,
not
so
sure
I
want
to
well.
It
won't
be
a
burden
because
it's
a
resolution
but
to
me
I
think
if
the
planning
department
is
already
working
on
this
and
and
have
that
same
idea
that
you're
trying
to
do
and
I
think
it'll
come
I'm,
not
so
sure
I
want
to
change
the
the
way
we
do
things
now,
with
the
60-day
turnaround
we're
playing
Commission
for
60
or
300
days.
As
you
stated
for
this
event,
I
mean
I'm.
H
Revolutions
aren't
entirely
aspirational.
You
see
in
the
first
few,
whereas
Clauses
that
Indiana
code
calls
for,
in
other
words
the
council
can't
directly
change
title
20
or
our
plans.
We
have
to
ask
the
plan
commission
first.
We
do
we
trigger
that
with
a
resolution.
We've
used
resolutions,
for
there
are
other
you
know
like
I,
want
to
say
certain
tax,
abatements
or
certain
kinds
of
tax
issues
that
require
the
council
to
start
with
a
resolution.
Then,
eventually,
you
know
comes
back
to
council
for
final
approval.
H
So
it's
not
true
that
a
resolution
is
purely
you
know,
aspirational,
but
this
I
mean
your.
Your
assertion
actually
says
that
we
should
change
the
code
accordingly.
I
should
strike
the
300
days
that,
if
I
feel
so
strongly
about
it,
I
should
just
have
it
passed
in
60
days,
so
that
we
can
argue
that,
yes,
it
was
passed
during
this
Council
and
not
left
to
the
next
Council
I.
Don't
think
that
that's
I
mean
if
the
next
Council
wants
to
undo
it.
H
They
can
we've
undone
things
before
from
year
to
year,
maybe
not
from
Council
to
council,
but
we've
changed
laws
that
way
they
would
do
the
same
thing
they
would
have
to
to
bring
a
forward
of
resolution
undoing
it.
I.
Don't
think
this
is
particularly
controversial
but
again
I
think
that
your
concern
would
really
mean
that
the
way
I
should
address
it
is
to
strike
the
300
days
back
to
60
so
that
we
can
get
it
in
the
plan
before
the
end
of
the
year.

Highlight
three:
whereas
is
that
I
didn't
mention
earlier?
One
is,
whereas
Transportation
Equity
is
critical
to
fully
participate
in
community
life,
yet
is
too
often
unavailable
specifically
to
people
with
disabilities,
and
whereas
disability
is
intersectional
affecting
people
regardless
of
age,
race,
gender,
sexual
orientation,
class
or
gender
identity,
and
any
one
person
may
become
disabled
at
some
point
in
their
lifetime
and
whereas
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
wait.
H
Where
is
it
I
just
had
it
here
here
we
go,
whereas
the
comprehensive
plan
additionally
states
that
quote
investing
in
multimodal
transportation
can
result
in
a
reduced
cost
of
living
for
Bloomington
residents.
Unquote
and
cites
the
council
for
Community
accessibility,
which
says
that
quote
approximately
20
percent
of
bloomington's
population
has
a
disability,
unquote,
I.
Think
those
three,
whereas
is
do
the
best
job
of
saying
why
this
resolution
is
needed.
I
think
that
has
been
consistent
with
things
I've
been
saying
about
public
transit,
for
example.
Investing
in
better
transportation
doesn't
just
improve
outcomes.

Thank
you
very
much.
We
will
take
this
up
next
at
our
regular
session
next
Wednesday
August,
2nd,
and
that
takes
us
to
our
second
period
of
public
comment.
If
there's
anyone
in
Chambers
who
would
like
it
to
offer
comment,
please
approach

Can
you
extend

AJ
Good
evening,
Madam
president
council
members
distinguished
staff.
This
is
Christopher
mg
from
the
greater
Bloomington
Chamber
of
Commerce,
wonderful
to
be
back
in
these
storied
halls.
I
hope
everyone
had
a
opportunity
for
some
rest
and
relaxation
a
lot
unpacked
tonight.
First
last
Friday
I
was
fortunate
to
attend
the
historic
groundbreaking
ceremony,
Hopewell
neighborhood,
a
repurposing
of
the
old
IU
Hospital
site.
AJ
The
long
discussed,
well-planned
out
project
does
not
represent
a
singular
concept,
but
rather
a
community
one.
The
new
neighborhood
symbolizes
our
vision
to
a
vision
to
address
our
critical
housing
needs
the
critic
flows
to
many
tributaries.
The
mayor,
City
staff,
the
Bloomington
Transit,
the
RDC,
the
cbci
and,
of
course,
this
body
who
weighed
in
on
the
planned
process.
Specifically
the
alleyway
vacation,
is
Lee
Cyril,
calling
probably
many
other
matters
next
up.
I
want
to
look
at
the
County.
AJ
Commission
is
reestablish
a
re-establishment
of
the
capital
Improvement
board,
the
CIB
that
Madam
president
brought
up
earlier.
As
far
as
upcoming
appointments,
the
governing
structure
to
manage
the
expansion
and
updating
of
the
Monroe
County
Convention
Center
has
been
set
by
the
CIB,
and
the
previous
Cebu
was
endorsed
by
this
body.
Eight
to
one
last
December
and
the
new
ordinance
I
believe
irons
out
the
issues
related
to
the
city
county
joint
venture.
AJ
The
chamber
appreciates
the
input
that
the
council
representative
and
the
mayor's
office
had
in
producing
what
I
believe
is
a
fair
and
simple
structure
of
coexistence
between
the
two
governments.
The
selections
are
split
evenly
between
the
two
entities:
no
elected
officials
with
the
seven
seat
chosen
by
these
six
appointees.
AJ
The
Commissioners
recently
named
their
two
selections:
former
deputy
mayor
Ivy,
Tech
Chancellor,
John
Weingart
and
former
County
Commissioner
Joyce,
pulling
I,
commend
that
body
for
its
selections
and
due
diligence
in
making
it.
This
is
an
indication
this
is
a
community-wide
effort
with
a
way
to
move
forward
in
a
process.
That's
taken
way
too
long.
AJ
The
State
Assembly
has
put
a
strict
timeline
for
this
process.
I
appreciate
this
body
moving
forward
with
a
September
6,
where
they
are
going
to
appoint
someone
on
I
hope.
The
mayor's
office
moves
forward,
opening
up
its
applicant
portal.
Yes,
these
initial
steps
are
just
initial
steps
and
the
work
will
need
to
continue
but
they're
important
that
something
we
passed,
which
was
the
food
and
beverage
tax
by
the
County
Council
in
Tucson
2017.
