You
thank

we'll
begin
with
our

labor
acknowledgment.
We
recognize
that
the
city

where
we

E
Member
we'll
then
enter
our
first

and
then
we'll
go

for
second

and
resolutions.
Under
that

expanded
outdoor
dining
program
in
the
downtown
corridor.
We
have
no

for
no
no

not
on
the

we'll
take

and
then
we
will
adjourn
so
with
no
minutes
to

Let's
go
into
council
member
reports,
I'm
going
to
begin
on.
My
far
left
council
member
voland.
G
G
E
You
thank
you
and
I
will
just
extend
an
invitation
to
my
next
constituent
meeting
coming
up
this
Saturday
March
4th
at
1
30
PM
via
Zoom.
The

is
available
at
sue

just

button.
Many
of
the
issues
we'll
talk
about
will
focus
on
District
2,
but
certainly
anyone
from
throughout
the
city
is
welcome.
So
so
with
that,
let's
move
to
reports
from
the
mayor
and
city
offices
I
believe
we
have
Miss
Carmichael
with
us
this
evening.
I
Good
evening
Council,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
with
you
this
evening.
I'm
Mary,
Catherine,
Carmichael,
Deputy,
Mayor
I,
was
asked
to
come
this
evening,
so
you
could
have
an
opportunity
to
hear
about
the
501c3.
We've
been
putting
information
out
about
this
fairly
steadily
for
the
last
couple
months.
So
I
don't
think
any
of
this
is
going
to
come
as
any
big
shock
to
anyone
and
then,
of
course,
you're.
Welcome
to
ask
questions.
I'll
just
give
basically
a
brief
overview,
and
then
we
can
go
from
there.
I
Excuse
me,
after
months
of
research,
Outreach
and
discussion
with
various
experts,
the
city
of
Bloomington
has
determined
that
a
new
non-profit,
501c3
organization
offers
the
best
option
to
assist,
assist
the
city
with
special
work,
beyond
the
scope
of
its
core
missions
to
advance
this
unprecedented
level
of
project
activity.
The
preliminary
steps
needed
to
create
a
501c3
nonprofit
have
been
taken
and
outlined
in
a
memo
shared
with
city
council
and
the
community
on
January
12th
on
Friday
March
3rd.
I
That's
this
coming
Friday
four
community
members
will
be
appointed
to
this
city
of
Bloomington
Capital
Improvements
Inc,
or
it
will
be
known
as
cbci
going
forward.
Mayor
John
Hamilton
has
identified
micro,
niacin,
Sarah,
barely
dansman
John,
West
and
Valerie
Pena
to
be
the
first
four
members
to
serve
on
the
cbci.
Under
the
draft
bylaws
of
the
cbci,
the
Bloomington
city
council
is
identified
to
appoint
a
fifth
member.
I
The
organizational
meeting
of
the
cbci
will
be
held
in
the
McCloskey
room.
Again,
that's
on
March
3rd,
at
12
30
pm.
Here
in
City
Hall
at
401
North
Morton
Street.
There
will
be
a
zoom
option
for
public
attendance.
That
link
is
available
online
by
the
way,
as
we
always
put
the
zoom
links
with
our
meeting
announcements.
Pardon
me
the
meeting
will
begin
with
incorporator
and
City
controller
Jeff
Underwood,
appointing
the
directors
and
then
the
directors
will
discuss
the
by
we'll
discuss
and
adopt
the
bylaws.
I
E
Again,
as
Miss
Carmichael
said,
we've
already
seen
a
great
deal
of
information
on
this,
but
we
do
have
the
opportunity
to
appoint
a
member
of
the
board,
and
so
it
made
sense
to
provide
an
opportunity
for
any
Council
questions
that
may
come
so
with
that.
Are
there
Council
questions
for
Ms
Carmichael.
J
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
giving
us
an
overview,
and
president
scamulari
said:
we've
of
course
received
FAQs
and
other
information
from
the
administration.
What
are
the
funding
sources
for
the
I
always
get
the
acronym.
I
Cbci
cbci
thank
you,
council,
member
Piedmont
Smith.
For
that
question.
The
funding
sources
will
be
the
RDC
and
money
from
the
city
of
Bloomington,
so
you
will
be
asked.
You'll
have
a
great
deal
of
influence
on
on
the
work
of
the
cbci.
You'll
have
to
approve
funding
through
Appropriations
for
the
work,
just
as
you
do
now
for
city
employees
through
the
budget
and
for
contractors.
J
D
Yeah
I
mean
just
following
up
on
that:
does
the
council
really
have
that
much
approval
authority
over
Tiff
money
I
mean
once
if
we're
using
Tiff
money,
for
example,
to
fund
a
bond
to
build
something,
I
mean
we're,
not
the
ones
who
make
that
final
commitment.
The
RDC
is
so.
I
D
Well,
just
to
I'm
just
trying
to
disentangle
the
idea
that
somehow
the
council
has
authority
over.
In
other
words,
the
cbci
is
going
to
be
getting
funding
from
the
RDC
as
well
as
Council,
not
funding
that
goes
through
Council
approval.
So
there
will
be
some
funding
that
the
council
does
not
approve.
That's.
D
I
J
E
E
H
Council
processes
happy
to
report
back
on
the
question
referred
to
us
one
month
ago,
I
believe
which
was
a
motion
to
remove
Greg
Alexander
from
the
city
of
Bloomington
traffic
Commission.
The
committee
met
three
times
during
the
month
of
February
to
consider
issues
related
to
the
proposed
removal.
We
were
assisted
in
our
work
by
Council
attorneys,
Stephen,
Lucas
and
Ash
kulak
and
Council
staff.
We
generated
a
roughly
six
page,
five
or
six
page
report
that
was
distributed
in
the
packet
and
also
to
council
members.
H
I
won't
read
that
full
report,
because
I
think
it's
too
long,
but
I
I
am
going
to
read
or
synthesize
portions
of
the
the
heart
of
it,
which
is
section
three
on
applying
some
of
the
legal
guidance
to
the
proposed
removal
and
and
some
recommendations
in
that
vein.
H
I
wanted
to
note
that
we
had
legal
guidance
provided
to
us
by
Council
attorneys
and
this
report,
and
what
I'm
sharing
draws
on
that
I
also
wanted
to
know
that
during
the
meetings
we
had
a
public
comment
from
several
residents
as
well
as
council,
member
Roland
and
current
traffic
commissioner
comments
ranged
from
feedback
or
input
on
certain
questions.
H
The
committee
was
considering
two
calls
from
Mr
Alexander's
removal
to
praise
for
Mr
Alexander's
work
on
the
traffic
Commission
I'll
skip
over
the
review
of
the
applicable
legal
standards
to
these
issues,
and
there
are
several
related
to
Due
Process
what
constitutes
cause
for
removal
and
First
Amendment
protections
and
instead
dive
into
the
consideration
of
Greg
Alexander's
removal
from
the
traffic
commission.
So
our
work
on
the
committee,
we
sought
to
apply
relevant
legal
guidance
to
that
question
and
ensure
that
any
removal,
if
pursued
by
the
council,
is
done
lawfully.
H
So
in
doing
so,
the
committee
reached
several
recommendations
that
are
outlined
in
the
third
section
of
this
report
and
I'll
go
through
those
now
3.1
substantivity
process
considerations.
First,
the
committee
recommends
that
the
motion
for
removal
on
the
table
be
withdrawn.
The
committee
reached
this
conclusion
because
it
believes
the
motion
does
not
adequately
describe
the
conduct,
statements
and
or
omissions
that
are
the
basis
of
the
proposed
removal.
This
raises
concerns
with
respect
to
fairness
and
substantivity
process.
H
So
to
address
these
concerns,
the
committee
recommends
that
a
motion
for
removal
should
that
a
new
motion
for
removal
should
be
narrow,
specific
and
sufficiently
clear
that
council
members,
members
of
the
public
and
Mr
Alexander,
fully
understand
the
specific
conduct,
statements
and
or
omissions
that
have
led
to
the
proposed
removal,
3.2
procedural,
due
process.
Considerations
committee
also
recommends
that
Mr
Alexander
be
given
written
notice
of
his
proposed
removal
and
allowed
five
business
days
to
respond
in
writing
to
the
specific
allegations
and
proposed
basis
for
removal.
H
This
recommendation
parallels
procedural
requirements
from
Bloomington
municipal
code
for
removals
for
absenteeism
and
should
provide
sufficient
procedural
due
process.
Similarly,
if
the
council
votes
in
favor
of
Mr
Alexander's
removal,
he
should
be
notified
in
writing
about
the
removal
and
the
council's
reasoning
3.3
cause
for
removal
based
on
legal
precedent
and
advice
from
Council
attorneys.
H
The
committee
also
recommends
that
a
council
member
making
a
motion
for
removal
not
only
clarify
what
specific
statements
or
conduct
of
the
basis,
but
also
clarify
or
demonstrate
with
evidence
if
available,
how
the
named
conduct
has
diminished,
Mr,
Alexander's
ability
or
Fitness
to
perform
his
duties
on
the
traffic
commission.
This
will
help
ensure
the
council
is
following
the
appropriate
legal
standard
with
respect
to
what
constitutes
sufficient
cause
for
removal
with
respect
to
3.4
Free
Speech
concerns.
H
If
Mr
Alexander
is
removed
from
his
appointment,
depending
on
the
statement
cited
as
the
basis
for
the
removal,
he
may
be
able
to
challenge
it
based
on
Free
Speech
protections
under
the
First
Amendment,
such
a
claim
would
be
analyzed
using
the
Pickering
test,
which
is
covered
earlier
in
the
port.
Council
attorneys
assessed
possible.
First
amendment
claims
with
respect
to
many
of
Mr
Alexander's
statements
brought
into
question
in
recent
weeks
and
provided
legal
advice
to
the
Council
on
which
statements
should
probably
not
be
considered
a
basis
of
removal.
H
Additionally,
in
assessing
these
statements,
Council
attorneys
advised
that
most
likely,
none
of
the
statements
in
question
to
date
amount
to
obscenity
fighting
words
or
true
threats.
As
those
terms
are
legally
defined,
if
statements
did
meet
those
legal
definitions,
they
would
constitute
unprotected
speech
finally
3.5
possible
grounds
for
removal,
as
the
committee
sought
to
clarify
from
Council
Members
the
rationale
for
Mr
Alexander's
potential
removal
from
the
traffic
commission,
two
main
lines
of
reasoning
emerged.
The
first
line
of
reasoning
was
clarified
by
councilmember
Allah
during
committee
discussions.
H
When
he
stated
he
believes
Mr
Alexander's
conduct
amounts
to
intimidation
and
harassment
of
members
of
the
public.
The
second
line
of
reasoning
identified
by
some
council
members
and
members
of
the
public
amounts
to
bias
or
a
lack
of
fairness
in
Mr
Alexander's
work
on
the
traffic
Commission,
notably,
the
motion
for
removal
on
the
table
does
not
seem
to
reflect
the
second
line
of
reasoning.
H
So
if
that
motion
is
withdrawn
in
a
new
motion
made,
whichever
council
member
is
moving,
should
seek
to
clarify
the
rationale
for
removal
and
identify
the
conducts
or
statements
that
demonstrate
legal
cause.
Whichever
rationale
and
conduct
are
identified,
council
members
will
need
to
determine
if
and
how
that
conduct
has
diminished,
Mr,
Alexander's
ability
or
Fitness
to
perform
his
duties,
and
in
doing
so
they
should
look
to
Bloomington
Municipal
Code,
which
defines
those
duties
as
follows.
H
Finally,
legal
guidance
summarized
previously
in
the
report.
I
identified
several
questions
to
help
council
members
determine
whether
there
is
sufficient
cause
for
removal,
and
you
can
see
those
in
in
section.
Two
Council
attorneys
also
noted
that
we
may
consider
our
statements
from
Mr
Alexander
regarding
his
service
on
the
traffic
commission,
as
well
as
other
statements
from
traffic
commission
members,
staff
or
members
of
the
public
as
they
relate
to
Mr
Alexander's
performance
of
his
duties.
One
final
note
on
that
section
of
the
report.
H
There's
one
sentence
that
I
believe
is
factually
inaccurate,
based
on
some
information
that
had
been
relayed
from
the
city
Administration
side.
There's
a
sentence
that
says
specifically
the
appointee
had
not
yet
been
seated.
He
was
not
currently
serving
on
the
commission
and
his
term
had
not
yet
started
and
was
not
going
to
start
for
some
time.
That
sentence
is
in
reference
to
a
prior
removal
by
the
mayor
of
a
parking
commission
member,
and
that
sentence
does
not
reflect
the
facts
of
of
of
that
situation.
H
Final
note
just
to
say
that
the
committee
is
also
considering
a
variety
of
recommendations
for
future
action,
which
are
a
little
beyond
the
scope
of
the
question
of
Mr
Alexander's
removal
looking
at
codifying
possible
additional
causes
or
conduct
that
would
constitute
cause
for
removal.
The
possible
creation
of
a
code
of
conduct
for
board
and
commission
appointees
and
we're
working
we'll
be
working
with
City
legal.
To
look
at
that,
as
well
as
considering
an
intermediate
level
of
rebuke.
H
E
Let's
move
on
to
our
first
period
of
public
comments.
This
is
our
first
of
two
periods
of
public
comment.
There
is
a
maximum
of
20
minutes
set
aside
for
this
section.
Could
I
get
a
sense
of
how
many
people
plan
to
offer
comment
here
in
Chambers
one
two,
okay
and
Mr
Lucas?
Could
you
extend
the
invitation
on
Zoom?
Please.
L
Members
of
the
public
on
Zoom
that
would
like
to
comment.
Please
use
the

in
your

you
can
also
send

Let
us
know,
you'd
like
to
speak
and
I,
see
one
hand
raised
at
the
moment.
E
M
Minutes
great,
thank
you.
I
actually
won't
need
five
minutes.
I'm
Julie,
Thomas
I'm,
a
Monroe,
County,
Commissioner
and
I
just
wanted
to
come
with
greetings
from
the
Board
of
Commissioners,
and
let
you
know
that
in
January,
the
Indiana
division
of
mental
health
and
addictions,
a
department
of
the
family
and
Social
Services
administration's
announced
that
entities
within
Indiana
could
work
with
their
local
government,
either
city
or
county,
to
apply
for
funding
to
combat
problems
related
to
opioids.
M
The
Commissioners
had
a
special
meeting
this
week
to
acknowledge
our
support
of
this
Grant
and
our
match,
and
we
also
want
to
thank
the
city
of
Bloomington
for
pledging
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
help
fund
some
of
these
projects
as
part
of
the
matching
dollars
required
by
the
state.
We
are
especially
thankful
to
Ms
calendar
Anderson
for
ensuring
the
city's
pledge
came
through
in
time.
It
was
a
very
short
Grant
cycle
and
for
suggesting
two
of
the
projects
we
hope
to
fund.
M
E
E
N
Hi,
yes,
my
name
is
Jim
Shelton
I'm
with
the
chamber,
but
right
now,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
court
appointed
special
Advocates
or
Casas.
Today
is
a
great
day
a
case
that
I
worked
on
for
22
months
ended
with
the
adoption
of
a
gorgeous
little
five-year-old
girl
into
a
permanent
life
that
will
take
care
of
her
going
forward.
N
She's
she's,
really
something
I
met
with
her
by
a
zoom
yesterday
and
she
was
playing
with
slime.
She
had
a
great,
a
great
big
Gob
of
slime
and
was
manipulating
it
while
we
were
talking
and
I
was
meeting
with
her
grandparents,
who
were
the
ones
who
were
successfully
able
to
adopt
her.
So
I
want
to
say
this
to
people
to
let
you
know
that
a
lot
of
good
and
joy
comes
out
of
being
Acosta.
Sometimes
it
can
be
hard
but
oftentimes.
N
The
first
step
to
becoming
a
casa
would
be
to
apply
and
then
to
go
through
a
training
in
just
two
months.
We'll
have
our
next
training
session
it'll
be
May
22nd
through
June
14th
it'll
be
Monday
Wednesday
and
Thursday
evenings
from
5
30
to
8
30..
So
you
would
have
about
30
hours
of
training,
which
would
teach
you
everything
you
really
need
to
know
to
serve
as
the
cost.
So
you
need
no
special
background
from
whatever
you've
done.
N
I
was
a
retired
physicist
and
I
have
been
constant
now
for
over
10
years,
and
then
you
would
be
assigned
a
case.
Well
then,
you'd
be
sworn
in
by
judge
Harvey,
and
then
you
would
be
assigned
a
case,
and
you
would
work
that
case
with
a
casa
professional,
so
they
would
be
backups
for
if
there's
a
hearing
that
you
cannot
attend
or
if
there's
some
Quirk
of
the
case
that
you've
not
learned
about,
they
will
be
there
to
help
you
handle
it.
So
I
invite
the
public
out
there
to
please
think
about
it.
N
Look
into
it
I'm
sure
there
are
people
out
there
who
have
been
thinking
about
it.
The
National
Organization
tells
us
people
typically
think
about
it
for
about
two
years
before
they
do
it.
We
have
the
last
I
heard
over
20
children
who
are
in
the
court
system
because
of
interviews
and
neglected
that
we
do
not
have
a
volunteer
to
sign
to
be
their
casa.
N
E
O
You,
madam
president,
this
is
Christopher
mg
from
the
greater
Bloomington
Chamber
of
Commerce
I.
Don't
have
my
name
tag
but
rest
assured.
I
am
official
I
want
to
First
thank
the
council
for
their
their
hard
work,
especially
the
special
committee
that
even
met
at
8
in
the
morning
on
some
very
complicated
and
some
very
legal
ease,
questions
which
are
not
as
glamorous,
which
brings
me
to
other
glamorous
work.
It
is
the
Silly
Season
election
season,
with
many
people
vying
to
be
have
their
name
plate
here
at
the
desk.
O
So
we
at
the
chamber
cover
the
2023
elections,
Beyond
just
the
mayoral,
but
with
the
city
council
races,
we
have
on
March
21st.
That
is
a
Tuesday
at
the
dimension.
Mill
from
5
30
to
7.
30
are
elect,
connect
event,
which
is
for
chamber
members
and
the
community
at
large,
which
is
a
chance
to
meet
all
the
fine
candidates
that
are
running
for
City
Council
on
a
chance
to
hear
them.
Speak
they'll,
be
hors
d'oeuvres
and
a
cash
bar.
O
O
I
assure
you,
and
not
one,
that
needs
to
be
politically
astute
to
really
really
have
a
good
time
at
another
thing,
I
wanted
to
say
on
that
is
we'll
also
have
a
questionnaire
and
some
other
things
on
our
website
coming
up,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
public
is
staying
active
on
this
on
all
the
council
races,
and
we
appreciate
all
those
that
are
running
right
now
and
if
you
have
need
more
information,
we
are
at
a
chamber
of
bloomington.org
I.
Think
the
council
for
their
time
tonight.
L
E
E
F
C
You
the
motion
that
I'll
introduce
will
be
will
include.
Profanity,
As
It
quotes
the
commissioner
that
it
concerns
here's.
The
motion
I
moved
that
Greg
Alexander
B
removed
from
the
traffic
commission
for
cause
under
Bloomington
Municipal
Code
2.08.020,
specifically
Mr
Alexander
number
one
posted
the
following
comment
on
social
media.
As
a
response
to
a
member
of
the
public
expressing
concern,
concern
about
a
planned
infrastructure
project
punching
through
certain
streets
in
her
neighborhood
quote.
What
are
they
punching
through
with
I
would
really
like
to
know.
C
That
number
two
posted
the
following
comment
on
social
media
quote:
Haters
Gonna,
Hate
and
Bloomington
Democrats,
going
to
lick
the
out
of
out
from
between
Heights
neighbors
ass
shakes
number
three
sent
unsolicited
handwritten
letters
directly
to
members
of
the
public
who
had
appeared
at
Council
meetings
which
led
to
complaints
and
concerns
from
those
members
of
the
public
serving
on
the
traffic
commission
entails
several
duties,
including
carrying
on
educational
activities
and
receiving
complaints
having
to
do
with
traffic
matters.
C
These
duties
involve
engaging
with
the
public
and
several
members
of
the
public
have
described
to
this
Council,
their
concerns
about
being
targeted,
bullied
or
intimidated
by
Mr
Alexander
his
actions
and
comments
and
the
resulting
public
complaints.
This
Council
has
received
have
compromised
his
ability
and
fitness
to
engage
with
the
public
and
carry
out
his
duties.
C
C
Bullying,
behavior
and
bias
could
discourage
and
has
discouraged
residents
from
voicing
traffic
concerns
and
from
interacting
with
the
traffic
commission
or
the
city
to
be
clear.
I
do
not
make
this
motion
because
of
Mr
Alexander's,
substantive
criticisms
of
the
city.
The
council,
or
myself
rather
I,
make
this
motion
out
of
concern
about
Mr
Alexander's
Fitness
to
carry
out
the
duties
of
his
appointment
to
the
traffic
Commission
in
making
this
motion
I
also
ask
that
the
council
make
no
formal
decision
tonight,
but
instead
give
Miss
Mr
Alexander
an
opportunity
to
provide
any
written
comments.
E
D
C
D
So
I
think
that
it
should
be
specific,
and
the
third
point
you
say:
Ascent
unsolicited
handwritten
letters-
is
there
something
about
handwritten
letters
that
is
objectionable.
C
No,
it
is
in
the
context
of
the
other
types
of
engagement
with
these
particular
advocates
for
neighborhood
projects,
so
this
is
going
essentially
further
in
a
personal
Direction.
After
after
essentially
it's
contextual.
D
So
you're
saying,
in
other
words
that
because
Mr
Alexander
is
familiar
with
social
media,
that
his
choice
of
a
handwritten
letter
somehow
is
I,
don't
know
grounds
for
I
mean
that
this
one
point
of
an
indictment
like
you,
you
think
that
he
should
have
written
the
letter.
He
should
have
typed
the
letter
or
emailed
it.
No.
C
I,
what
I'm
saying
is
is
that
the
objection
there
was
an
objection
by
an
advocate
for
a
neighborhood
project,
and
she
feels
as
though
she
was
harassed
that
she
was
targeted,
that
he
had
basically
been
referring
to
her
personally
in
on
comments
on
social
media
and
then
proceeded
to
send
a
letter
to
her.
Okay.
D
So
this
is
specifically
it's
sent
a
single
unsolicited
handwritten
letter,
not
multiple
letters.
D
To
two
individuals
that
I
know
so,
there's
two
total
letters.
Two
letters
is
that
right?
Yes,
okay,
so
later
in
your
motion,
you
say
that
the
the
the
the
members
of
the
public
have
expressed
their
concerns
about
being
targeted,
bullied
or
intimidated.
D
But
then
you
make
a
broad
leap
to
say
that,
based
on
their
complaints,
you
believe
that
that
these
complaints
have
compromised
his
ability
and
fitness
to
engage
with
the
public
and
carry
out
his
duties.
D
I
I
mean
I
I
find
that
to
be
a
big
leap,
I
wish
you
would
explain
how
necessarily
just
the
allegation
of
targeting
bullying
or
imitation
how
that's
distinguished
from
political
speech
I
mean.
Are
there
legal
definitions
that
that
his
actions
rise
to.
C
I'll
refer
to,
as
described
by
members
of
the
public
that
Mr
Alexander
has
targeted
them
personally,
has
engaged
them
in
social
media.
They
feel
harassed.
He
used
language
that
was
aggressive,
has
had
intimated
violent,
a
violent
of
a
violent
nature,
and
there
are.
There
was
other
testimony
from
members
of
the
public
that
they
are
unwilling
or
or
cautious
about
commenting
at
Council
meetings,
because
they
do
not
want
the
type
of
harassment
that
Mr
Alexander
has
exhibited
now.
C
D
Okay,
but
I
mean
these.
The
the
committee
just
reported
that
these
terms
that
you
have
used
in
the
previous
Motion
in
the
current
motion
don't
rise
to
the
legal
definition
they're.
Simply
the
expressions
of
the
the
descriptions
of
people
who
feel
bullied
or
intimidated
so
I
mean
we're
a
body
that
makes
laws
and
our
appointments
are
done
in
a
similarly
formal
legal
way.
You
know,
are
you
saying
that?
D
Are
you
still
trying
to
assert
that
these
are
that
his
actions
rise
to
Legal
levels
of
conduct
that
that
therefore
represent
for
cause?
Yes,
I
have
one
of
the
questions
but
I'll
I'll
with
I'll
withhold
until
the
next
member.
J
J
What
the
effect
of
this
motion
is
because
the
motion
is
to
remove
a
traffic
commissioner,
but
then,
towards
the
end
of
what
council
member
Rallo
said.
He
says
he
asks
that
the
council
make
no
formal
decision
tonight,
but
if
the
motion
is
for
removal,
if
we're
voting
on
this
motion,
it
seems
to
me
we're
voting
on
removal.
L
I
think
if
the
council
would
like
to
follow
the
committee's
recommendation,
which
was
to
provide
the
member
notice
and
an
opportunity
to
respond
that
the
council
should
not
take
any
formal
action
on
the
motion
tonight,
I
think
Mr
Rallo
was
indicating
his
desire
to
see
that
recommendation
followed
that
the
council
take
no
formal
action.
I
would
recommend
a
a
separate
motion
to
postpone
if
the
council
would
like
to
take
this
up
next
week.
J
C
That's
correct
in
alignment
with
due
processes
describe.
F
Postpone
it
the
final
decision
on
this
until
next
week's
Council
session
point.
F
D
C
Novel
situation
I
believe
that
there
is
just
there
is
cause
I've
described.
The
cause
due
process
is
referring
to
in
alignment
with
previous
removals
on
the
basis
of
absence,
allowing
five
days
for
the
individual
to
respond
to
the
council
and
I
think
that
this
is
my
understanding
with
Consulting
with
Mr
Lucas.
That
was
the
meaning
of
due
process
that
I
spoke
about
a
moment
ago.
L
Yes,
the
the
council
does
have
a
process.
It
requires
action
in
a
public
meeting
beyond
that,
our
code
provides
for
a
process
related
to
absenteeism.
I
would
suggest
that
that
process
be
the
minimum
that
the
council
follows
here.
So
Mr
Alexander
should
be
notified
of
this
motion
provided
a
chance
to
respond
in
writing
that
any
response
he
provides
should
be
provided
to
council
members.
L
I
know,
Mr
Mr
Alexander
is
aware
of
the
the
motion
for
his
removal
that
was
made
February
1st
I
know
he's
communicated
directly
to
the
council
office
and
and
to
some
of
you,
so
he
he
does
have
notice
of
the
potential
removal,
but
I
believe
the
committee's
recommendation
was
to
provide
him
a
chance
to
respond
to
the
specific
motion
that
was
just
made
tonight
that
contained
more
details
about
the
the
rationale
and
the
the
basis
for
for
removal.
D
Thank
you
maybe
I
should
just
ask
Mr
Lucas
is
while
we
are
following
the
minimum
due
process
described
by
code,
am
I
right
in
feeling
that
that
much
of
what
we're
discussing
is
kind
of
kind
of
an
ad
hoc
process
that
we
are
reacting
to
a
situation
that
came
up
that
we've
not
anticipated
before
and
that
not
every
aspect
of
it
is
covered
by
code.
If,
if
it's
not
covered
by
code,
is
it
by
definition
due
I
mean
I'm
trying
to
avoid
an
ad
hoc
process
here
and
I?
L
Our
code
provides
for
removal
for
cause
removals.
It
does
not
limit
for
cause
removals
to
absenteeism.
Absenteeism
is
the
one
example
it
lists,
but
it
says
it's
not
limited
to
that,
and
so
I
I
do
believe.
There's
a
process.
Has
this
specific
reason
for
a
for
cause?
Removal
come
up.
I
I've
not
seen
that
before,
but
again,
removal
is
something
contemplated
by
our
code
and
again
to
ensure
due
processes
is
followed
here.
L
I
would
I
would
suggest
adhering
to
that
process
that
we
have
for
absenteeism,
which
is
again
written
a
chance
for
a
written
response.
Thank.
G
It
says
that
we
should
give
Mr
Alexander
five
days
to
provide
his
own
response
in
writing
or
do
we
was
that
meant
to
be
before
there
was
a
motion
for
removal.
It
says
proposed
removal
and
have
we
done
that
yet
and
if
we
do
it,
it
seems
like
it's
not
happening
today.
G
So
five
days
would
be
almost
a
week
from
today,
which
means
council
members
wouldn't
get
that
potentially
until
next
Monday
or
Tuesday,
so
I'm
I,
guess
I'm
just
wondering
we
have
the
option
to
vote
on
this
tonight
and
if
it's
not
ready,
we
can
say
no
tonight
and
we
don't
have
to
postpone
it
and
another
motion,
I
think
could
be
brought
at
a
different
time.
So
I
just
I
think
that's
an
option,
but
my
question
is
about
the
dupe
the
procedural
due
process.
L
I
can
try
to
answer
that
if
you
like
I,
reached
out
to
Mr
Alexander
after
the
motion
was
made
on
February
the
1st
and
invited
him
to
submit
any
written
comments.
I
know
prior
to
that,
based
on
comments
the
council
heard
from
the
public
he
reached
out
to
provide
some
context.
He
actually
shared
the
comments
that
councilmember
Rallo
quoted
tonight
that
he
had
posted
on
social
media
to
clear
up
any
any
question
as
to
whether
those
were
his
comments,
so
he
he
reached
out
to
say
yes,
I
posted
these.
L
He
has
not
been
notified
of
this
specific
motion.
If
the
council's
will
tonight
is
to
provide
him
a
chance
to
respond
to
this
specific
motion,
we
will
share
the
text
of
the
motion
with
him
after
tonight's
meeting
and
invite
him
to
respond.
Should
the
council
not
want
to
postpone
this,
should
the
council
want
to
postpone
this
Beyond
next
Wednesday
March,
the
8th?
You
could
certainly
postpone
it
further
than
that
March
29th
I,
believe,
is
the
council's
next
regular
session.
G
Thank
you,
I
can
I
continue
about
due
process.
Is
that
okay,
so
substantive,
due
process
I
also
think
there
is.
It
says
it
was
recommended
that
it
be
narrow,
specific
and
sufficiently
clear
such
that
council
members,
members
of
the
public
and
Mr
Alexander,
fully
understand
the
specific
conduct,
statements
and
or
omissions
that
have
led
to
the
proposed
removal,
I
guess
from
council
member
rollo's
proposed
removal,
I'm
unclear
as
to
whether
he
would
be
potentially
removed
because
of
the
comments
he
made
or
because
he
how
he
made
other
members
of
the
public
feel.
G
C
Well,
I
I.
This
I
was
asked
by
the
committee
to
be
specific
about
the
cause
for
removal,
and
this
describes
specifically
the
cause
that
it.
The
information
that
you
have
is
not
limited
to
this
motion.
You've
received
testimony
from
the
public
who
have
come
here
and
described
harassment
you've
received
the
social
media
posts
that
I
think
through
email,
so
I
would
I
would
use
those
in
your
deliberations
as
well.
C
H
I
had
a
question
well
I
appreciate
the
updated
motion
I
in
in
making
recommendations
on
on
what
constitutes
cause.
We
looked
at
a
case
Waller
versus
City
of
Madison
and
a
trial
court
that
applied
that
basic
standard
to
some
behavior
that
that
happened
outside
of
a
border
commission
meeting
involved
a
heated
argument,
exchange
and
ultimately
found.
It
was
not
cause
for
removal,
because
there
was
no
evidentiary
record
demonstrating
the
appointee.
H
Wallers
compromised
ability,
ability
of
Fitness
to
discharge
their
duties
and
the
evidence
they
all
the
all
the
evidence
they
looked
at
was
how
has
that
appointee
performed
their
duties
in
their
appointed
role,
and
so
that
was
why
we
added
the
the
note
to
clarify
and
demonstrate
with
evidence
if
available,
how
the
named
conduct
has
diminished,
Mr,
Alexander's
ability
or
Fitness
to
perform
his
duties.
I.
Think
what
I'm
understanding
is
that
the
reasoning
is
sort
of
a
somewhat
speculative
or
or
based
on
the
perception
of
of
members
like
a
future.
H
Looking
his
his
his
abilities
are,
are
or
will
be
compromised,
going
forward
because
some
members
of
the
public
feel
like
X
about
things
he
said
in
other
settings,
but
is
there
any
evidence
from
traffic
commission
members
from
people
who've
attended
traffic
commission
meetings
about
how
Mr
Alexander
has
performed
his
duties
as
a
traffic
commissioner
or
or
a
demonstrate
any
evidence
demonstrating
his
like
I?
H
Guess
any
evidence
demonstrating
in
the
past
that
that
his
you
know
crude
and
offensive
language
and
other
fora
have
actually
compromised
his
ability
and
fitness
to
discharge
his
duties
as
defined
by
code.
That's
my
question.
C
You're
posing
that
question
to
me:
I
I,
don't
know
I
I,
don't
know
about
specifics
on
the
traffic
commission.
I
do
know
that
members
of
the
public
said
that
they're
they're
they're
wary
of
going
to
traffic
commission
meetings
because
of
Mr
Alexander
his
behavior
toward
them.
J
Are
we
to
comment
or
I,
don't
have
a
question?
I
just
have
a
comment.
D
Mr
Rallo,
you
just
said
that
you
described
the
traffic
commission
as
having
an
educational
role,
but
my
understanding
of
boards
and
commissions
is
that
they
are
advisory,
that
we
look
to
them
to
give
us
feedback
on
legislation,
potential
legislation,
issues
concerning
the
city.
It's
news
to
me
that
my
membership
on
any
border
commission
obligates
me
to
an
educational
role,
let
alone
primarily
an
educational
role.
Would
you
could
you
clarify
your
observation
about
the
educational
role
of
boards
and
commissions?
Please.
C
L
One
moment
those
Duties
are
listed
in
local
municipal
code,
2.12070.
L
The
purpose
of
the
traffic
commission,
its
duties,
is
listed
as
follows.
It
should
be
the
duty
of
the
commission
and,
to
this
end
it
shall
have
the
authority,
within
the
limits
of
the
funds
at
its
disposal,
to
coordinate
traffic
activities,
to
carry
on
educational
activities
and
traffic
matters,
to
supervise
the
preparation
and
publication
of
traffic
reports,
to
receive
complaints
having
to
do
with
traffic
matters
and
to
recommend
to
the
common
Council
and
to
appropriate
City
officials,
Ways
and
Means,
for
improving
traffic
conditions
and
the
administration
and
enforcement
of
traffic
regulations.
D
F
I'm
just
going
to
pose
this
with
to
Mr
Rallo,
as
if
someone
was
didn't
didn't
like,
for
instance,
Elm
Heights,
and
they
were
asked
to
rule
on
traffic
issues
related
to
that
section
of
town,
and
they
had
expressed
some
bias
about
that
area.
With
their
statements
such
as
we
see
tonight,
would
you
think
that
that
would
allow
them
to
have
an
unbiased
View
in
their
rulings
in
in
a
commissioned
context?.
A
C
So
this
matter
is
not
a
consideration
in
that
motion.
This
is
biased
toward
particular
neighborhoods
councilmember
volan
made
a
comment
at
a
previous
meeting.
Perhaps
it
was
February
1st,
where
he
described
that
we
we
have
biases
related
to
policy
advocates
for
certain
areas
have
biases
toward
the
needs
of
their
own
area.
C
Clearly,
council
members
represent
their
constituents
of
a
particular
geographic
area
and
therefore
could
be
claimed
to
have
bias,
and
so
I
think
the
case
is,
is
strong
in
terms
of
Mr
Alexander's
inability
to
to
fulfill
his
duties
that
that
debate
is
is
tenuous,
I,
think
about
about
bias.
I
think
it's
very
clear
that
he
has.
C
D
The
motion
does
not
consider
I
mean
you're
making
the
case
at
numerous
people
have
a
problem
with
them,
but
the
the
cause
that
you're
asking
us
to
consider
removing
him
for
is
by
is
to
I
mean
how
many
specific
people
have
signed
a
letter
or
petition
asking
for
his
removal.
You
know
like
this
is
a
motion
made
by
you
and
not
based
on
I
mean
and
furthermore,
who
represents
Elm
Heights.
Is
that
an
official
organization
I
live
in
Elm
Heights?
C
There's
no
petition
offered
that
I
know
of,
but
there
have
been
multiple
testimonies
by
the
public
who
have
come
to
the
council
at
several
meetings
and
describe
their
interactions
and
that's
that's
part
of
the
public
record.
We
can
you
can
go
back
to
those
meetings.
You
can
review
them.
Perhaps
they'll
come
forward
again.
They
feel
as
though
they've
been
targeted.
Perhaps
they
won't
be
speaking
further
about
this
because
they're
afraid
of
being
harassed
by
others.
C
So
it's
it's
basically
sent
a
chill
among
the
public
in
terms
of
their
ability
to
interact
with
a
city.
Commission
I
think
that's
it's
a
terrible
outcome,
but
I
I
would
just
say
you
have
there
is
evidence
Beyond
this
motion
so
that
you
have
available
so
I
would
just
I
could
point
you
to
those
specific
instances
if
you
like,
before
we
deliberate
further
on
the
on
this
motion,
either
next
week
or
the
following.
Thank
you.
We.
J
I
I
am
a
little
bit
torn
by
by
this
emotion,
because
I've
of
the
three
reasons
given
that
Mr
Alexander
cannot
perform
the
duties
of
traffic.
Commissioner
I
only
agree
with
one
of
them,
so
I'm
not
sure.
If
I
Can
Vote
for
This
motion
that
cites
the
other
two.
J
I
think
that
it
is,
as
council
member
Flaherty
said,
it's
kind
of
assumed
that
in
the
future
he
could
not
perform
his
duties
because
of
statements
he
made
on
social
media
in
the
past.
So
it's
it's.
You
know
kind
of
crystal
ball.
J
Crystal
ball
suppositions
here
that
we're
we're
actually
not
sure,
certainly
somebody's
comments
two
months
ago
could
like
could
have
an
impact
on
their
their
behavior
on
a
commission
in
the
coming
months.
But
we
don't,
you
know,
have
hard
evidence
of
that.
J
J
I
do
feel
like
the
bias
that
has
been
displayed
in
this
case
against
the
Alma
Heights
neighborhood
is
likely
to
impede
an
impartial
fulfillment
of
the
duties
of
a
traffic
commissioner,
so
in
in
that
case,
I
I
do
feel
that
removal
would
be
warranted,
but
again
I'm
a
little
bit
torn
because
I
do
not
believe
that
items
one
or
item
three
really
would
Merit
removal.
So
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
and
ore
that
can
be
inserted
here
or
something,
but
that's
where
I
stand
at
this
point.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
even
now,
with
a
more
specific
motion.
I,
don't
think
the
motion
is
specific
enough.
There's
Mr
Rallo
has
noted
that
there
were
more
people
than
just
the
ones
listed
here
in
the
motion.
So
if
he's
asking
us
to
consider
all
the
evidence,
then
it
should
have
been
in
the
motion.
So
we're
considering
the
bullet
points
here
and
again,
he's
had
a
chance
to
revise
the
initial
motion.
He
made
that
the
committee
took
a
month
to
consider,
but
you
know
I
I
find
difficult
to
accept
this.
D
A
due
process
is
one
that
was
considered
soberly
outside
of
the
of
Any
Given
case,
and
here
we
are
being
asked
to
consider
a
case
and
Mr
Rallo,
rightly
recused
himself
from
the
consideration
of
the
initial
motion
because
he
made
it
even
though
he's
sitting
on
the
the
committee
this
to
the
special
committee
on
Council
processes,
I
want
to
suggest
that
that
is
the
direction
forward
here
that
Mr
Rallo
can
and
should
take
part
in
establishing
a
process
that
is
due
and
not
overly
broad
for
future
such
situations
that
would
also
apply
to
Mr
Alexander.
D
As
I've
said
earlier,
this
is
a
matter
for
rebuke
there's.
It
should
be
an
intermediate
level
of
of
punishment
than
simply
to
immediately
move
to
strip
someone
of
their
appointment.
D
I
also
note
that
one
of
the
perhaps
most
significant
aspects
of
Mr,
Ella's
New
Motion,
is
the
phrase
Mr
Alexander's,
substantive
criticisms
of
the
city,
the
council
or
myself,
I'm
glad
that
he's
acknowledged
that
what
Mr
Alexander
has
done
is,
among
other
things,
as
substantive
criticism
of
the
city,
this
Council
and
Mr
Rallo.
That
doesn't
mean
that
the
way
he
went
about
making
that
substance
of
criticism
isn't
worth
rebuking,
but
I
think
that
this
is
and
I
and
I've
always
thought
that
this
has
been
too
drastic
a
step.
D
It
has
galvanized
the
council
to
consider
our
processes
I'm
glad
that
the
committee
existed
so
that
this
could
be
matter
could
be
referred
to
it,
but
due
process
also
should
include
consideration
of.
If
somebody
is
removed,
For
A
Cause,
should
they
be
allowed
to
reapply,
or
should
they
be
permanently
banned
from
applying
again,
we
don't
have
that
consideration
either
and
with
an
argument,
this
substantive,
that's
a
question
I'm
going
to
want
to
make
outside
of
the
bounds
of
Any
Given
case.
D
We
have
an
opportunity
to
anticipate
these
probably
the
case
itself
is
a
perfect
setup
for
setting
up
new
rules
so
that
we
have
a
process.
That's
truly
due
the
next
time.
It
happens
so,
but
I
mean
also
the
the
the
people
who
are
making
the
complaint
that
Council
Moralo
cited
are
largely
doing
it
in
the
name
of
the
neighborhood
known
as
Elm
Heights,
but
there
is
no
official
definition
of
who
speaks
for
Elm.
Heights
again,
I
live
in
Elm,
Heights
I,
don't
agree
with
this
motion.
D
I
don't
agree
with
the
way
in
which
Mr
Alexander
made
his
comments,
but
I
get
their
point
and
clearly
Mr
Rallo
does
too
because
he
recognizes
the
substantive
criticism
of
them,
but
our
neighborhood
associations.
How
were
they
formed?
D
Who
says
that
if,
as
a
person
invokes
Elm
Heights
that
they're
speaking
for
all
of
elm
Heights,
that's
not
actually
Democratic.
That's
self-appointed,
and
you
know
for
all
those
reasons
you
know
like
there's.
There's
there
isn't
specific
I
mean
it's
clear
that
Mr
Alexander
is
referring
to
specific
members
of
the
public
that
I
intuited
that,
but
the
issue
for
us
should
be
about
our
conduct
as
elected
officials.
The
criticism
is
of
counsel
and
of
councilman
baralo's
actions
in
particular.
So
that's
what
we
should
be
concentrating
on
most.
D
My
opinion
is
that
we
should
simply
not
consider
this
Mo.
We
should
not
postpone
this
motion.
We
should
simply
vote
it
down,
but
I
want
to
strongly
encourage
the
special
committee
to
continue
taking
up
the
issue
using
all
the
facts
of
the
case,
to
use
this
case
develop
due
process,
and
then
no
one
will
be
able
to
say
that
Mr
Alexander
and
any
other
member
of
boards
or
commissions
are
not
on
notice.
D
That
here
are
the
rules
we
didn't
have
rules
before,
but
now
we've
defined
what
for
cause
means
more
specifically
to
this
type
of
action,
which
is
a
serious
action,
a
serious
issue,
but
that
it's
done
in
a
way
that
is
not
ad
hoc,
so
I
would
recommend
at
the
very
least,
if
we
do
postpone
with
spring
break
in
the
middle,
it
looks
like
we're
not
going
to
have
any
business
on
March
8th.
D
If
we
do
it,
I'd
like
to
know
about
that,
but
I
would
just
assume,
because
I
would
like
some
time
to
think
about
anything
submitted
more
in
this
case.
The
earliest
we
would
consider
would
be
March,
22nd
I,
don't
think
we
should
just
save
ourselves
some
trouble
and
and
strongly
encourage
the
the
committee
to
take
up
a
new
due
process
and
I
would
strongly
encourage
councilman
baralo
to
lead
that
effort.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you.
It's
certainly
been
just
been
a
disturbing
kind
of
like
a
issues
that
have
come
forward.
This
is
a
lot
about
what
we
stand
for
and
and
if.
F
Right
or
wrong,
and
we
need
you
know
us
as
a
body
we
have
to
be
able
to
protect.
If
we
have
that
opportunity
people
in
the
community,
we
can't
worry
that
it's
if
the
specific
offenses
haven't
been
put
in
a
statute,
our
attorney
says
we
do
have
a
process
in
its
for
cause.
F
This
is
what
we
stand
for.
If
I
made
those
kind
of
comments
I
and
picked
on
a
certain
neighborhood
in
Bloomington.
Wouldn't
that
be?
Wouldn't
you
be
appalled,
you
know
what
wouldn't
that
bother
you,
because
it's
not
there's
never
been.
This
happened
before
and
so
right
now
we're
reacting
to
it.
F
It
can't
prevent
us
from
doing
our
job
and
to
have
a
stand
on
these
kind
of
issues
we
really
do
have
to
you
know
he
a
person
on
the
commission
that
we
appointed
really
does
kind
of
represent
us
and
represents
a
city,
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
have
a
process
to
remove
that
person,
and
so
we
are
going
along
that
process
now
and
it's
a
little
bumpy
because
you've
never
done
it
before,
but
that
shouldn't
prevent
us
from
doing
our
job,
and
you
know
I'm
I'm
for
removing
Mr
Alexander
for
All
the
Above.
F
For
those
comments
and
for
appearing
to
be,
you
know,
biased
for
a
certain
part
of
the
city
and
I
I.
Don't
you
know
I'm,
not
gonna
I
won't
apologize
for
that
or
or
make
it
I'm,
not
gonna
the
legalese
that
goes
along
with
all
this
I
I'm,
not
a
lawyer,
so
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
those
feelings,
but
you
know
the
evidence
exists
and
there's
a
process
involved.
So
if
it's
this
week
or
next
week,
you
know
I'm
going
to
vote
to
remove
him.
So
thank
you.
H
Yes,
thank
you
notes.
One
is
that
as
councilman
Moralo
clarified,
bias
is
not
being
alleged
in
this
motion,
so
that
should
not
be
any
council
members
basis
for
how
they
vote.
That's
inappropriate,
because
that's
not
part
of
the
motion,
I,
also
with
respect
to
bias
that
that's
the
area
of
reasoning.
H
Well,
I
have
issues
with
with
both
in
some
respects,
but
that
was
one
line
of
reasoning
identified.
That
I
worry
a
lot
about
protected
political
speech,
because
I
think
most
of
what
has
been
cited
is
bias.
However,
crudely
put
is
primary
political
arguments
about
social
Equity,
resourcing
who
doesn't
does
not
have
resources
where
resources
should
be
prioritized
within
the
city.
Those
those
are
you
know,
political
viewpoints
that
are
actually
supported
by
the
city
of
Bloomington,
some
considering
some
of
those
things
so
I
worry
a
lot
about
that
threat.
H
But
just
a
reminder
to
my
colleagues
that
bias
is
not
actually
alleged
as
part
of
this
motion.
So
again
it
shouldn't
be
part
of
the
calculus,
which
I
believe
was
what
I
just
heard
from
councilmember
Smith
as
part
of
the
basis
for
for
his
possible
vote.
With
regard
to
obscenity.
Generally,
a
note
that
you
know
a
good
number
of
council
members
have
said
you
know,
curse
words
during
meetings
and
other
things
like
that.
We
have
no
process
to
find
for
that
and
we
certainly
haven't
applied
it
uniformly
to
people.
H
Additionally,
threats
obscenity
fighting
words.
Those
things
have
legal
definitions
and
it
was
the
opinions
of
our
Council
attorneys
that
none
of
the
statements
Mr
Alexander
has
made
have
risen
to
that
level
of
of
legal,
legally
defined
obscenity
or
threat
threatened
threats.
If
they
had,
they
would
be
unprotected
speech,
which
would
mean
that
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
the
fact
that
there's
a
political
element
to
what
what
Mr
Alexander
is
saying
a
note
with
regard
to
councilman
Morello's
comments
about
I'm,
sorry,
councilmember
voldlin's
comments
about
considering
on
March
22nd.
H
We
don't
have
a
meeting
on
March
22nd
March
29th
is
our
next
regular
session.
After
the
8th.
We
may
not
have
business
on
the
8th
and
in
any
case,
the
five
business
day.
Turnaround
for
Mr
Alexander
to
respond
I
think
would
actually
put
us
on
Wednesday
next
week.
So
it
might
be
advisable
if
there's
a
motion
to
postpone
consideration
of
the
motion
on
the
table,
that
the
motion
to
postpone
actually
be
for
the
March
29th
meeting
to
allow
adequate
time
and
ensure
there
is
a
meeting
additionally
I
would
I.
H
Do
not
favor
sending
this
back
to
the
special
committee
on
Council
processes
to
consider
the
specific
details
with
respect
to
Mr
Alexander's
the
Mr
Alexander
case.
H
We
don't
have
more
guidance
to
provide
on
that
front,
though
I
agree
with
councilmemberlin's
recommendation
and
that
and
it's
in
our
report
that
we're
going
to
take
additional
steps
to
continue
to
set
up
a
more
robust
and
clear
process,
including
possible
intermediate
levels
of
rebuke,
possibly
defining
a
code
of
conduct,
or
you
know,
defining
via
code
additional
things
that
constitute
cause
and
what
that
process
for
removal
for
cause
should
look
like.
So
we'll
do
that.
H
H
We
can't
apply
a
new
process
to
someone
that
that,
for
actions
that
that
happened,
when
the
process
didn't
exist,
for
the
sake
of
consideration
of
Mr
Alexander's
removal
for
Behavior
or
comments
made
in
November
or
December,
we
are
stuck
with
the
process
we
have,
which
is
code,
defining
that
we
can
remove
folks
for
a
cause
and
then
legal
case
law
defining
what
that
is
in
the
absence
of
a
definition
in
code.
So
what
we're
dealing
with
is
legal
guidance.
H
That's
provided
by
Indiana
case
law,
specifically
wallaby
City
at
Madison,
is
the
sort
of
case.
That's
helpful.
That's
where
the
legal
advice
from
our
attorneys
and
the
synthesis
in
the
report
came
from.
So
whether
or
not
the
motion
cogently
puts
together
an
evidentiary
basis
for
cause
of
removal
based
on
ability,
diminished
ability
or
Fitness
to
perform
duties.
I
won't
weigh
in
on
that
question
tonight.
H
But
again
the
committee
doesn't
have
more
to
add
on
that
specific
front
and
I,
don't
believe
and
what
we're
stuck
with
or
not
stuck
with.
But
what
we're
needing
to
follow
instead
is
just
case
law,
essentially
guiding
us
on
what
constitutes
cause
when
we
make
this
decision.
Thank
you.
J
Well,
yes,
I
would
like
to
make
another
comment
or
or
question
as
a
result
of
council
member
clarity's
comment
that
bias
is
not
being
alleged
in
the
motion
on
the
table.
It
is
a
little
confusing
to
me.
I
looked
at
the
motion
again
so
that
Greg
Alexander
Bieber
moved
from
the
traffic
commission
for
cause,
and
then
there
are
three
actions
that
he
took
that
are
cited
and
then
further
down.
J
It
says
his
comment
about
one
of
bloomington's
neighborhoods
demonstrates
bias,
bullying,
behavior
and
bias
could
discourage
and
has
discouraged
residents
from
voicing
traffic
concerns
and
from
interacting
with
the
traffic
commission
or
the
city.
So
it
seems,
like
bias,
is
part
of
the
motion.
Could
councilmember
Flaherty
perhaps
clarify.
H
The
chair
allows
it.
I
was
I,
was
responding
to
summarizing
the
point
made
by
councilmember
Rallo
when
council
member
of
Olin
asked
about
it.
Councilman
Morales
said
he
was
not
alleging
bias,
but
you're
correct
that
that
was
contained
in
the
motion
as
I
look
at
the
text
now
so
I
take
it
back.
It
is,
in
fact,
in
the
words
of
the
motion.
Q
D
Well,
first,
with
respect
to
the
conversation
that
just
happened
now
what
I
see
here,
the
draft
motion
includes
supporting
material
I
mean
like
you.
The
support
of
material
has
been
put
in
the
argument,
so
I
guess
technically
it
does
invoke
bias,
but
it
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
claiming
that
these
three,
the
only
three
specific
points
that
Council
Rallo
has
put
forward
like
the
the
claim
doesn't
start
there.
D
So
I
find
it
to
be
relatively
weak
invocation
of
the
term
and,
as
he
rightly
pointed
out,
we
literally
geographically
biased
I,
made
the
argument
at
the
committee
meeting
of
February
15th
as
a
public
comment
that
councilmember
Smith
and
Piedmont
Smith
and
Rosenberger
and
and
presidents
Gambler
and
I
are
all
biased
towards
our
districts.
D
We
prefer
our
neighborhoods,
we
don't
live
in
other
parts
of
the
city
for
a
reason,
and
we
were
elected
specifically
to
prioritize
our
geography.
So
I
think
that
term
I
mean
I.
Think
councilman
Rollo
did
at
least
get
more
specific
in
the
new
motion
was
specific
I
mean
it
wasn't
specific
enough
in
those
first
three
points,
but
he
also
wasn't
specific
enough
in
how
I
mean
he
just
simply
says
that
bias
is
demonstrated
by
one
of
these
comments
and
I.
Don't
agree,
but
I
want
to
quote
my
colleague
from
District
three.
D
He
said
we
must
be
able
to
remove
somebody
if
their
behavior
is
egregious.
This
is
what
we
stand
for.
If
I
made
those
comments
and
then
he
said,
wouldn't
that
bother
you?
How
do
we
Define
egregious,
who
defines
it?
I
mean
this
is
not
the
rule
of
law.
This
is
the
rule
of
personalities.
Somehow
we
were
all
elected
to
be
lawmakers.
So
even
if
we're
not
lawyers
we're
making
laws,
so
the
idea
that
somehow
we
are
not
lawyers
or
that
all
this
is
legalese
misses
the
point.
D
We're
supposed
to
be
here
to
uphold
the
rule
of
law
and
to
define
the
law,
and
when
we
have
a
situation
like
this,
while
there
we
have
existing
law,
the
term
four
causes
very
weak.
It's
a
very
it's
not
well
defined.
The
only
precedent
we'd
had
was
encode
was
for
attendance,
so
it's
clear
that
we
haven't
put
in
writing
what
other
causes
are,
and
it's
clear
that
we
need
to
so
I'm
encouraged
to
hear
that
more
than
one
member
wants
to
pursue
this
issue
as
a
matter
of
law.
D
But
let
us
not
rest
on
the
excuse
that
somehow,
because
we're
not
lawyers
that
we
shouldn't
try
to
make
law,
because
otherwise
I
mean
to
say
that
that
that
is
how
we
should
do.
Our
job
is
not
my
understanding
of
the
job.
We
are
making
rules,
we're
making
process
we're
making
law
and
we
want
to
prevent
future.
Such
events
from
happening
and
that's
the
best
thing
we
can
do
here
is
to
make
sure
this
never
happens
again
and
any
rules
we
make
would
apply
to
the
current
would
be
indicted
official.
D
D
I
would
not
vote
to
postpone
and
I
think
we
should
simply
dismiss
it
out
of
hand
and
encourage
strongly
the
committee
to
take
up
a
process
to
prevent
this
incident
from
happening
again.
Thank
you,
foreign.
J
E
J
Again
so
upon
further
reflection
and
re-reading,
the
motion
I
do
not
think
I
could
support
it
as
written
because
I
I
agree
with
council
member
voland
that
it
it
is
more
specific
than
the
motion
we
heard
previously,
but
it
is
not
specific
enough
and
there
seems
to
be
a
disconnect
between
points,
one
two
and
three
of
what
this
individual
did
and
the
finding
that
those
actions
result
in
an
inability
to
carry
out
the
duties
and
so
I
I
I'm,
not
saying
there's
nothing
there
or
there's
no
motion
that
for
removal.
J
C
Customers
I'm
needing
guidance
in
terms
of
property.
It
seems
perhaps
several
council
members
designing
the
emotional
acting
customers
to
CVS
is
an
important
matter.
Certainly
this
is
I
would
say,
I
would
agree.
This
is
a
president
case
haven't
removed
anyone
for
a
specific
cause
before
that's
not
to
say.
A
C
Shouldn't,
in
fact,
I
do
hope
that
we
make
the
right
precedent.
Is
that
the
right
precedent,
so
with
that
under
consideration?
L
There's
a
motion
on
the
table.
A
member
could
move
to
postpone
that
motion.
A
member
could
move
to
amend
that
motion.
So
if
one
or
more
council
members
feel
that
there
is
cause
for
removal
that
could
be
framed
in
a
different
manner
that
member
could
move
to
amend
your
motion,
a
member
could
move
to
withdraw
the
motion
where
you
could
request
to
withdraw
the
motion
with
the
intent
to
offer
a
further
revised
motion.
So
pending
any
action,
there's
a
motion
on
the
table.
L
The
council
can
can
consider
that
and
would
vote
tonight
unless
no
other
option
is
offered.
The
committee's
recommendation
and
staff's
recommendation
is
to
not
take
formal
action
tonight.
I
should
clarify
to
not
adopt
the
motion
tonight
so
that
Mr
Alexander
be
given
notice
and
an
opportunity
to
respond.
H
We
didn't
take
up
Mr
Alexander's
comments,
I
believe
he
sent
several
emails
and
made
a
public
comment.
Maybe
the
February
15th
regular
session.
H
Our
feeling
was,
though
he
has
made
General
comments
with
respect
to
his
conduct
and
several
members
of
the
public
a
lot
complaining
about
that
conduct
in
our
meetings
that
it
would
be
best
for
him
to
respond
specifically
to
a
particular
set
of
allegations.
It
was
sort
of
a
mix
of
what
members
of
the
public
were
saying.
We
felt
like
the
previous
motion
was
not
specific,
that
he
hadn't
been
given
an
opportunity
to
reply
with
specificity
to
a
particular
set
of
charges.
H
I
think
part
of
that
reasoning
is
that
code,
for
instance,
invites
perspectively
removed
appointee
for
absenteeism
to
contextualize
or
explain,
perhaps
extenuating
circumstances
of
why
they
were.
They
were
absent,
so
I
think
we
felt
it
was
best
for
Mr
Alexander
to
be
given
the
opportunity
to
actually
respond
directly
to
a
particular
charge
right.
D
So
we
have
in
fact
done
that,
and
the
result
of
that
first
motion
was
that
Mr
Rallo
withdrew
it
in
favor
of
a
second
motion.
Now
it's
I
mean
because
Mr
ollo
is
the
maker
of
the
these
motions.
You
know
he's
clearly
the
advocate
for
those
motions.
How
many
emotions
should
we
entertain?
D
We
don't
even
have
a
process
for
considering
this
kind
of
motion
and
I'm,
starting
to
be
afraid
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
this
at
least
once
a
month
for
the
foreseeable
future,
unless
we
delegate
it
and
again,
that's
why
it's
good
that
there's
a
committee
in
existence
that
has
been
set
up
to
consider
exactly
questions
like
this
and
that
while
I
know
how
strongly
Mr
Rallo
feels
I
know
how
strongly
the
several
members
of
the
public
that
he
is
representing
in
this
case
feel
I
recognize
I
want
to
acknowledge
and
recognize
their
strong
feelings.
D
Here
we
have
to
err
on
the
side
of
innocence,
someone's
innocent
until
proven
guilty,
and
how
long
are
we
going
to
continue
to
prosecute
the
specific
case?
D
Again,
he's
made
a
motion
that,
while
it
is
more
specific,
isn't
specific
enough,
we
could
continue
to
indulge
the
making
of
motions
until
one
is
narrow
enough
that
he
believes
he
can
get
a
majority
to
vote
for
it,
but
like
really
the
the
the
next
course
of
action
should
be
an
ordinance
that
Mr
Rallo
should
author
an
ordinance
to
change
process
to
prevent
the
incidents
like
this
that
he
is
concerned
about
in
the
future,
but
I've
just
like
we
don't
have
a
limit
on
how
often
a
motion
like
this
can
be
made.
E
D
H
Sure
you
know,
with
respect
to
councilmemberello's
question
about
you
know,
guidance
here,
I,
I,
think
councilman
ravola
makes
a
good
point
that,
yes,
you
could
have
sort
of
an
endless
number
of
motions
that
try
to
get
it
right.
You
know
for
the
right
number
of
members
I
think
customer
Moralo
feels
like
his
motion
is
adequate,
but
several
members
of
the
council
have
expressed
that
they
don't
in
various
ways.
H
Perhaps
those
members
could
discuss
and
and
arrive
at
what
they
think
is
a
a
sufficient
motion
before
making
another
one,
but
short
of
that
I
am
I'm,
not
sure
what
else
to
to
offer
I
again
think
that
the
committee
doesn't
really
have
a
role
in
drafting
that
motion,
because
it
would
be
putting,
in
the
committee's
hand
that
you
know
to
be
inside
the
head
of
council
members
and
and
what
is
is
or
is
not
adequate
had
we
attempted
to
draft
the
motion
that
I
believe
probably
Council
attorney
Lucas
is
the
person
who
read
the
tech
wrote
the
text
of
we
might
not
have
done
no
better,
you
know
so
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
the
committee
should
be
charged
with
trying
to
come
up
with
the
right
motion
that
satisfies
and
again
anything
we
come
up
with
from
an
ordinance
perspective
or
anything.
H
D
Of
order,
I
did
not
say
that
I
did
not
say
that
the
commission
should
draft
the
motion
for
Mr
Rallo
I
said
that
the
Commissioners
consider
an
ordinance
in
general,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
not
being
mischaracterized.
I
didn't
say
that
I
didn't
say
we
should
send
the
motion
to
committee.
Thank
you.
E
E
We
do
not
want
to
be
arbitrary
and
capricious
at
the
same
time.
I
think
we
also
wish
to
be
timely
in
our
response.
E
My
understanding
is
the
traffic
commission
continues
to
meet
and
go
about
its
business,
it's
not
on
a
Hiatus,
and
so
if
this
individual's
membership
on
the
traffic
commission
is
in
question,
I
think
we
have
an
obligation
to
move
forward
in
that
regard.
I
do
think
as
I.
Listen
to
this
discussion
that
the
motion
we've
heard.
E
The
new
motion
we've
heard
tonight
is
more
clear,
but
it
still
doesn't
connect
all
the
dots
adequately
in
the
case
of
Mr
Alexander
I
was
reading
over
some
of
the
additional
tweets
that
are
not
specifically
mentioned
in
this
motion
that
give
me
as
much
concern,
if
not
more
than
some
that
are
listed
and
so
I
would
support
the
withdrawal
of
this
motion
and
the
introduction
of
a
new
motion
that
goes
into
a
bit
more
detail.
E
Taking
into
consideration
those
kinds
of
tweets,
I
again
believe
that
we
do
need
a
process
I
to
handle
this
I.
Don't
think
this
will
be
the
last
time
this
body,
not
necessarily
this
group
of
individuals,
but
this
body
will
ever
have
to
face
such
a
question.
E
R
C
C
I
believe
you
stated
it,
and
it
was
stated
by
several
others.
Yes
again
in
alignment
with
that,
it
be
that
we
allow
some
time
for
a
revised
motion
that
describes
further
Evidence,
as
stated
by
councilman
revolin,
more
specificity
and
consideration
of
bias.
E
Thank
you.
I
would
also
point
out
to
you
that
that,
just
for
clarity's
sake,
we
are
scheduled
to
meet
in
regular
session
next
Wednesday
March
8th
our
next
meeting
after
that
is
March
29th.
So
we
will
skip
the
week
of
spring
break
and
the
week
after
that,
due
to
some
scheduling
internally
scheduling
needs
internally,
but
we
are
scheduled
to
meet
on
March
8th.
So
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
withdraw.
This
motion
with
the
intent
to
resubmit
is
that
accurate.
D
Yes,
if
it's
a
motion
to
withdraw,
it
doesn't
need
to
be
voted
on
WE
with
we
allowed
Mr
Roller
to
withdraw
his
first
motion
tonight
so
that
he
could
make
this
motion
do
we
need
even
to
vote
on
it
if
he's
withdrawn
it,
that's
the
that's.
The
ball
game
is.

B
Resolution
2305
to
approve
recommendations
of
the
mayor
for
distribution
of
Community
Development
block
grant
funds
for
2023..
The
synopsis
is
as
follows:
the
city
of
Bloomington
is
eligible
for
a
Community
Development
block
grant
cdbg
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development,
estimated
to
be
875
thousand
dollars.
This
resolution
outlines
program
recommendations
by
the
mayor
with
input
from
the
citizens
advisory
committee
and
the
Redevelopment
commission
pursuant
to
Federal
Regulations
cdbg
allocations
are
made
across
the
following
general
program
areas:
Social
Services
programs,
physical
improvements
and
administrative
services.
R
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
council
members,
John
Zody,
the
director
of
Housing
and
neighborhood
development
hand
Department
here
at
the
city.
R
As
the
clerk
read,
the
resolution
2305
asked
the
council
to
approve
2023
funding
projects
recommended
by
the
mayor's
citizen
advisory
committee,
which
comprises
two
members
of
the
city
council
and
two
members
of
the
Redevelopment
commission,
among
a
number
of
appointments
of
citizens
that
are
appointed
by
the
mayor.
I
want
to
thank
council,
member,
Sandberg
and
Rosenberger
for
their
service
on
the
citizens
advisory
committee
and
our
two
Redevelopment
Commissioners
Deb
Hutton
and
Deborah
Meyerson
I
also
want
to
thank
hands
staff
for
their
work
on
putting
together
the
allocations
for
the
2023
program
year.
R
This
year's
allocation,
as
you
will
note
in
your
materials,
is
an
estimate
based
on
an
estimate
of
875
thousand
dollars.
We
don't
get
those
numbers
until
after
these
decisions
are
made,
and
so
the
the
distribution
of
that
estimated
875
thousand
dollars
is
recommended
in
the
following
way.
Five
hundred
sixty
eight
thousand
dollars
750
for
physical
improvements
for
Community
Development
block
grant
dollars
131
250
for
Social
Service
Community
Development
bought
Grant
dollars.
R
That
is
kept
at
15
percent
of
the
overall
allocation,
as
required
by
a
statute
and
then
175
thousand
dollars
for
administration
of
the
programs
here
at
the
city,
and
that
is
capped
at
twenty
percent
of
the
overall
allocation.
So
we
are
recommending
13
awarded
projects
to
11
local
agencies.
For
your
consideration
tonight,
I
will
tell
you
in
a
highly
unusual
way
that
we
receive
notification
of
our
allocations
yesterday,
and
so
we
know
what
those
numbers
are
going
to
be.
R
I
will
tell
you
tonight
that
we
are
getting
less
money
from
cdbg
this
year
than
we
did
last
year,
the
citizen
advisory
committee,
when
they
passed
the
resolution
to
after
they
make
their
decisions,
and
that
goes
to
the
Redevelopment
commission
and
that
is
pushed
forward
to
you.
There
are
Provisions
in
place
based
on
those
estimates.
What
happens
if
the
money
is
more
or
less,
and
so
those
allocations
will
be
adjusted.
R
We
are
receiving
about
twenty
thousand
dollars
less
this
year
than
we
did
last
in
Community
Development
block
Grand
dollars.
The
one
note
on
council
member
service,
so
councilmember
rosenbarker
was
listed
as
a
mayoral
appointment.
She
was
actually
a
council
appointment
from
you
all.
We
were
lucky
to
have
two
rosenbargers
here
at
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
Beth
rosenbarger
with
planning
and
transportation
staff
also
served
on
the
physical
improvements
committee.
So
I
want
to
recognize
her
as
well,
so
I'll
close
by
saying
our
annual
action
plan.
R
These
projects
once
approved-
if
you
choose
to
do
so
tonight,
we'll
go
into
our
annual
allocation
or
annual
action
plan.
Excuse
me
that
we'll
go
for
public
comment
next
Friday
and
that
is
then
submitted
ahead
by
April
15th.
So
that
is
our
annual
plan
of
how
we
use
these
dollars,
and
so
that's
how
the
chronology
works.
With
these
getting
approved,
hope
tonight,
they'll
go
into
the
plan
they
get
submitted
to
HUD
before
our
program
year
begins
on
June
1st,
so
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Council
members
have.
A
R
We're
expecting
855
868
dollars,
we
received
about
875,
000
or
872
to
a
thousand
dollars
last
year,
so
we're
down
about
twenty
thousand,
and
that
is
so
council
members
in
the
public
knows
the
that
number
Ebbs
and
flows.
There
are
just
like
Bloomington.
There
are
1300
plus
Juris
addictions
around
the
country
that
receive
Community
Development
block
grant
dollars
when
Congress
appropriates
money.
R
They've
done
that
over
the
last
several
years
through
a
continuing
resolution,
which
means
the
funds,
don't
change,
and
so
those
funds
are
spread
out
among
the
different
participating
jurisdictions
and
those
that
number
can
change.
So
it's
a
it's
a
formula
based
block
grant,
and
so
that
formula
is
based
on
a
number
of
factors,
but
when
the
jurisdictions
addictions
excuse
me
change
in
number
population,
the
formula
allocation
changes,
and
so
that
is
that
main
reason
why
you
see
that
number
ebb
and
flow?
R
If
you
look
over
the
last
few
years,
we've
gone
up
and
down
roughly
twenty
thousand
dollars
over
the
last
four
years,
so
we're
not
surprised
but
but
certainly
like
to
get
as
much
block
grant
money
as
we
can
for
the
city.
R
Councilmember
Piedmont
Smith
I
can't
tell
you
yes
100,
it
was
impacted
by
it.
I
have
to
consider
that
it
could
have
been,
and
we
certainly
don't
want
to
push
aside
the
impact
that
the
what
we
believe
to
be
the
undercount
in
the
census.
What
impact
that
has
on
on
the
formula
population
is
one
of
the
factors
so
I
was
just
looking
over
my
information
that
HUD
sent
today,
but
the
formula
is
based
on
I
can
pull
the
definition
here.
R
I
don't
want
to
spend
your
time
with
the
explanation
unless
you,
if
you're
just
looking
for
the
formula,
let's
see
yep
the
statutory
dual
formula,
which
uses
several
objective
measures,
Community
needs
including
extent
of
poverty,
population,
housing,
overcrowding,
age
of
Housing
and
population
growth
lag
in
relationship
to
other
metropolitan
areas.
Those
are
some
of
the
just
a
quick
list
of
factors
that
go
into
that
formula.
That's
used
to
make
those
allocations.
Sorry
I
couldn't
find
it
on
my
page.
There.
R
C
E
C
R
Well,
we
so
just
the
members
of
the
public
know
and
if
they
looked
at
the
packet,
the
this
is
based
on
a
scoring
system.
The
citizen
advisory
commission
committee
makes
the
recommendations.
R
They
are
really
the
decision
makers
here.
So
it's
really
based
on
their
level
of
scoring
the
how
the
applications
are
filled
out.
So
for
the
physical
improvements
side
of
things,
we've
got
Bloomington
Cooperative
living
Mr
Lucas,
if
you're
still
working
on
that
I
can
read
those
moving
to
Cooperative
Living
Center
Stone,
the
city
of
Bloomington
hand
department.
R
Maybe
further
up
there,
Hoosier
Hills,
Food,
Bank,
New
Hope
for
families,
Community
Kitchen,
Monroe,
County,
United,
Ministries
or
Mac
Mother,
Hubbard's
cupboard
and
Beacon.
C
Thank
you
for
displaying
those
may
I
ask
another
question:
Mr
sodi
you
mentioned
that
we've
gotten
twenty
thousand
dollar
less
and
that's
kind
of
very
varying
over
the
years,
plus
or
minus,
but
with
inflation,
obviously
we're
getting
less
dollars.
Even
if
we
were
to
remain
the
same
and
I
wonder
the
needs,
are
there
are
projects
not
being
funded?
There
are
requests
that
are
outstanding,
that
you
know
that
aren't
being
funded.
R
It's
a
good
question:
councilmember
Rallo
we
received,
but
so
we
received
from
2020
to
2021
we
received
our
allocation
went
up.
Then
it
went
down
and
then
it
went
down
a
little
more
this
year.
So
we'll
see
what
24
what
happens
in
2024,
but
the
to
the
root
of
your
question.
We're
always
trying
to
fill
the
help.
Agencies
fill
those
gaps.
If
we
can,
there
are
several.
If
the
public
looks
at
the
packet,
there
are
several
requests
that
were
not
funded
right
and
on
the
social
service
side.
R
We
are
capped
at
15
of
our
allocation.
So
we
can't
you
expend
any
more
than
15
percent
of
the
Social
Service
known
as
public
services
and
HUD
regulation.
So
it's
funds
like
Jack
Hopkins.
That
really
come
in
handy
for
those
agencies
who
might
not
other
who
can't
or
we
are
prohibited
from
awarding
them
more
money
for
social
services
which
pays
for
programming.
For
instance,
it's
not
physical
projects,
it's
programming
and
operations,
and
things
like
that,
so
Jack
Hopkins
helps.
R
We
are
still
seeing
the
result
of
some
funds
from
the
pandemic
that
came
through
that
were
done
for
sort
of
recovery
from
the
pandemic.
We
had
the
response
and
then
the
recovery,
but
there's
still
gaps,
and
so
we
do
what
we
can
to
make
sure
we
do
what
we
can
for
agencies,
but
certainly
they
are
resourceful
as
well.
C
P
J
I'm
just
wondering
what
bike
pods
are:
I
think
that
was
one
of
the
funded
items.
Bike
Pods
at
Crestmont.
R
We
have
a
staff
member
online
councilman
Rosenberger
I'll,
defer
to
you.
If
you
want
to
comment
on
that
at
all
or
I'm,
happy
to
ask
staff.
J
E
L
Yes,

we
have

The
synopsis
is
as
follows:
this
ordinance
amends
title,
15
vehicles
and
traffic
of
the
Bloomington
municipal
code
and
comes
forth
at
the
request
of
City
staff,
the
parking
commission,
the
traffic
commission
and
the
bicycle
and
pedestrian
safety
commission.
The
ordinance
makes
the
following
changes,
removes
seven,
stop
intersections
and
add.
Six
stop
intersections
removes
one
multi-stop
intersection
at
Jefferson,

and
7th
Street
adds
one
yield.
Intersection
removes
angle
parking
on
4th
Street
between
College,

and
gentry.
B
J
S
S
Okay,
the
ordinance
proposes
various
amendments
to
the
title
15
of
the
beloomington
Municipal
Court,
entitled
a
vehicle
and
traffic
title
15
is
the
title
of
the
quote,
subject
to
frequent
change
and
revisions.
These
proposals
are
the
results
of
feedback
from
engineering
planning
and
transportation,
Parking
Services
Division
of
Public,
Works
and
legal
departments.
S
The
proposed
changes
will
address
issues
that
have
come
to
a
staff's
attentions
through
public
requests,
commission
recommendations
or
180-day
orders.
Some
items
are
related
to
safety
issues,
improving
visibility
for
people,
safety
for
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
traffic
calming
and
housekeeping
changes.
The
ordinance
includes
the
following
changes:
Section
1
removes
one
a
stop
intersection
on
West
Grand
drive
at
South,
Bryan,

replaces
it
with
one
yield
intersection.
S

Please
let
the
staff
know
if
you
have
any
questions
and
let
me
introduce
the
staff
who
are
in
this
meeting
either
in
person
or
the
zoom
card,
Ryan
Cox
parking
enforcement
supervisor,
Neil,
copper,
senior
project
engineer:
it's
got
all
of
them:
capital
of
operation
of
Bloomington,
Police,
Department,
Alex,
Pratt
assistant,
City
attorney
and
Ryan
Roebling
planning
services
manager.
Thank
you.
J
Yes,
I'm
sorry
I
had
to
step
out
for
a
moment.
So
if
this
has
been
answered,
I
do
apologize,
but
my
question
was
about
Section
5
limited
parking
Zone
on
8th
Street
from
Walnut
to
just
east
of
Walnut
The
Proposal
is
to
add
a
time
limit
from
9pm
to
4
AM.
T
Deputy
chief
Olin
with
the
police
department-
that's
at
our
request
there.
As
you
know,
that's
an
Entertainment
District
and
we've
been
having
some
issues
with
people
gathering
around
cars
in
that
block,
causing
a
substantial
number
of
fights,
causing
some
friction
with
the
other.
Patrons
we've
put
in
place
a
temporary
over
the
last
several
months
and
those
issues
have
essentially
gone
away,
so
we
would
now
like
to
make
them
permanent
prior
to
that
we
had
injuries
that
occurred
there.
T
Due
to
some
of
this
friction,
including
an
officer
who's,
now
been
off
for
almost
five
months
because
of
a
fight
that
occurred
in
that
area.
So
this
is
more
of
an
engineering
control
to
get
around
some
of
the
disturbances
that
have
been
created
by
people
just
hanging
out
right
there
on
that
corner
with
the
cars
that
are
parked
there.
E
L
D
Yeah,
this
is
a
good
example
of
the
work
of
Mr
farshi,
who
is
announced
he's
leaving
the
city
for
another
job
in
Virginia.
We're
going
to
miss
him
and
I
on
a
personal
note,
I
just
want
to
say
that
he's
been
the
steady
presence,
not
only
in
planning
but
at
the
parking
commission
since
its
founding
in
2017,
and
we
will
miss
his
fine
work
and
visit
Fairfax
County
Virginia.
They
they're,
inheriting
an
excellent
planner.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
work
and
we
appreciate
this
ordinance.

U
Manager
of
the
economic
and
sustainable
development
department
here
at
the
city,
nice,
to
see
you
all
again
we're
glad
to
be
back
from
the
last
session
two
weeks
ago.
So
thank
you
again
for
your
questions
and
concerns
the
last
time.
We've
really
listened
to
them
and
we
have
a
lot
to
report
on
so
we're
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
get
to
addressing
some
of
the
concerns
and
questions.
U
First
off
is
the
concern
of
the
Trinity
epis
I'm,
just
going
to
say,
trinity
church,
because
I'm
going
to
mess
up
that
e
word
there.
We
D
De
la
Rosa,
the
assistant
director
for
small
business
development
in
my
department,
my
colleague.
She
met
with
the
Reverend
and
walked
around
the
entire
building
and
we
have
talked
to
engineering
and
we
talked
to
we've
just
done
some
research
on
this
and
we
found
out
that
engineering
put
forth
a
plan
to
increase
additional
Ada
spaces
on
Kirkwood.
U
One
would
be
on
Grant
Street
on
the
Soma,
Grant
and
Kirkwood
on
the
Soma
side,
and
so
that
space
Can
Happen
by
April
1st,
so
We
Believe,
with
the
new
Ada
space
being
put
in
by
April
1st
and
we've
been
guaranteed
by
Pub,
the
director
of
Public
Works
that
that'll
that
space
will
happen
by
April
1st
and
the
program
would
to
remind
you
start
on
April
3rd.
So
before
the
program
starts,
there
would
be
an
extra
space,
we're
also
looking
into
engineering's
plan
for
even
more
additional
Ada
spaces
throughout
Kirkwood
as
a
whole.
U
So
hopefully
that
can
happen
this
year
as
well
and
we're
also
looking
into
maybe
not
a
drop
off
pickup
zone,
but
perhaps
like
limited
two-hour
parking,
though
we're
not
sure
about
the
feasibility
of
that,
but
with
the
additional
space
and
Grant
Street
being
open
again
because
it
had
construction
last
year.
We
believe
that
there
would
be
more
convenience
and
relief
for
the
parishioners,
and
especially
since
we
want
to
point
out.
The
true
Ada
entrance
is
on
Grant
Street.
U
You
should
have
got
I,
don't
know
if
we
want
to
share
this
Mr
Lucas
on
the
screen,
but
there
is
some
data
from
her
on
the
breakdown
versus
retail
and
restaurants
and
then
other
ones
that
don't
fit
into
that.
Hopefully,
you
can
see
this
all
I
want
to
explain
this.
So
the
top
part,
the
dab
members,
are
just
dib
members
in
the
just
just
dib.
Dbi
members.
Excuse
me
so,
as
you
can
see,
the
parklets
split
down
the
middle,
whereas
Kirkwood
has
a
slight
majority
and
then
five
folks
are
neutral
now.
U
Moving
on
to
the
rest,
the
business
is
on
the
street.
These
are
these.
This
includes
members
of
DBI,
but
she
broke
it
down
into
the
businesses
along
the
square.
So
we
can't
so
I'm
just
pointing
out
that
the
DBI
members
on
the
business
on
the
street.
We
can't
combine
those
because
it
would
overlap.
Some
of
the
DBI
members
are
also
business
on
the
Square
or
on
these
blocks
of
Kirkwood.
So
I
just
want
to
point
that
out.
She
broke
it
down
further
into
that
as
well.
U
So
business
is
on
the
street
along
the
square
businesses,
not
in
not
a
part
of
DBI
and
business
as
a
part
of
DBI.
You
can
see
for
the
parklets
for
retail
a
majority,
don't
want
it,
whereas
restaurants,
slight
majority,
do
other
again
say
no
to
parklets,
and
then
you
can
see
that
there's
a
few
neutral
folks
as
well.
U
Then,
if
you
go
down
to
Kirkwood
Avenue
the
the
businesses
on
Walnut
and
Washington
for
Kirkwood
there,
the
majority
supports
the
Kirkwood
closure
seven
to
two,
whereas
restaurants
I
mean
there's,
there's
not
as
many
other
businesses
there's
mostly
restaurants
on
that
block.
So
for
say:
yes,
you
can
see
the
numbers
there
then
going
on
to
Grant
and
Dunn
Street
retails
tied
between
restaurants,
on
how
they
feel
about
Kirkwood
being
closed
three
to
three
and
then
on
done
in
Indiana.
U
You
can
see
it's
also
three
to
three,
so
we
just
wanted
to
provide
that
because
I
was
asked
last
time,
so
you
can
again
see
the
breakdown
between
retail
and
restaurants
and
then
the
other
businesses
there.
So
again,
thanks
to
Talisha
and
we
also
have
feedback
from
Lenny's
we.
So
we
also
talked
to
a
few
more
businesses
to
get
their
direct
feedback.
We
talked
to
Lenny's
and
they
do
prefer
the
road
to
be
fully
closed.
They
would
not
participate
in
the
parklet
program.
They
prefer
the
block
to
be
fully
closed.
U
Bike
garage.
We
talked
to
them
directly
and
I
believe
they
also
sent
you
a
letter.
They
told
us
that
the
problems
with
deliveries
in
the
alleyway
behind
them
being
clogged
when
the
road
on
their
block
on
Kirkwood
in
front
of
them
is
closed.
They
talked
about
like
doordash
and
other
delivery
trucks
getting
clogged
up
in
the
alleyway.
U
They
do
support
a
compromise
of
their
block
being
open,
but
the
other
blocks
on
Kirkwood
being
closed.
So
I
just
want
to
point
that
out.
That
was
direct
feedback
from
those
two
businesses,
and
now
we're
also
asked
about
the
cost,
so
the
Ballard
construction
costs.
This
is
from
I
want
to
thank
Michael
large,
a
public
works
for
this
info
when
they
put
the
Bollard
system
in
a
few
years
ago.
U
This
is
based
on
that
so
construction
costs
for
the
bollards
for
each
side
of
the
street
is
42
000,
which
additional
so
that's
just
for
the
construction
cost
of
putting
them
in
on
a
side
of
the
street
and
there's
an
additional
cost
of
each
of
the
bollards
being
thirteen
hundred
dollars,
and
then
labor
costs
can
be
anywhere
from
185
dollars
to
a
six
hundred
and
fifty
dollars,
depending
on
what
is
done,
because
the
crew
gets
time
and
a
half
on
weekends,
which
makes
the
cost
go
up
so
depending
depending
on
when
they
get
it
done.
U
That's
that's
the
prices
for
parklets,
thanks
to
Michelle
wallet
parking
for
this.
The
orange
Jersey
barriers
cost
260
dollars
each
for
an
install.
The
total
amount
from
the
past
few
years,
it's
taken
about
54
hours
to
do
with
two
workers
on
the
job
and
that's
about
a
total.
The
labor
costs
then
are
about
two
thousand
dollars
and
then
there's
also
the
add-in
cost
of
the
fire
department.
Keeping
the
water
filled.
U
That's
approximately
three
thousand
nine
hundred
dollars
to
six
thousand
dollars
per
week
because
they
have
been
tasked
with
not
only
filling
the
barricades,
but
also
going
back
on
a
weekly
basis
to
top
them
off
as
they
leak,
and
they
spend
about
an
average
of
three
to
four
hours
per
week.
On
that
keep
up.
U
U
We
talk
to
engineering
and
risk
management
as
well
as
public
works,
and
they
are
not
comfortable
with
that
without
a
new
design
of
a
shared
street.
So
when
the
cost
it
will
be
significant
and
basically
to
have
it
to
have
the
street
cut
down
the
middle
with
barricades
or
bollards
is
just
not
possible
without
the
full
redesign
of
Kirkwood
being
a
shared
street,
because
it's
just
too
risky.
Otherwise,
basically
it
just
is:
it
increases
the
risk
to
pedestrian
cyclists
and,
in
some
cases,
motorists
and
just
makes
it
pretty
unviable
for
implementation.
U
So
just
want
to
point
that
out
we
did
do
our
due
diligence
on
that
and
just
found.
It
was
too
risky
and
wouldn't
work
unless
we
have
a
comprehensive
conceptual
design
and
construction
of
Kirkwood.
That's
the
only
way
a
shared
Street
would
work.
We
can't
do
it
now
with
the
way
it's
designed
and
so
that
moves
us
to
planning
and
transportation
more
about
that
shared
street.
U
So,
as
council
member
Piedmont
Smith
pointed
out,
the
shared
Street
was
recommended
in
the
transportation
plan
from
two
thousand
19.,
and
we
learned
about
that
from
planning
and
transportation
a
little
more.
So
it
was
actually
a
conceptual
design
for
a
shared
Street
for
Kirkwood
to
be
a
shared.
Street
was
in
the
2020
budget,
but
obviously
covet
happened,
so
it
didn't
that
never
went
through,
because
it
was
a
challenging
time,
of
course,
and
they
didn't
want
to
create.
U
You
know
more
crazy
change
without
seeing
how
the
pandemic
played
out
and
now
why
that
hasn't
been
back
in
the
budget
is
just
basically
they're
trying
to
balance
other
capital
projects
and
even
the
conceptual
design,
let
alone
the
construction
of
the
shared
Street.
It
would
cost
several
millions
of
dollars,
so
there
it's
just
not
currently
on
the
budget.
U
It's
also
because
we're
still
you
know
the
pandemic
is
now
I
guess
we
can
say
over,
but
just
kind
of
letting
people
giving
people
some
breathing
room
from
the
pandemic,
getting
back
to
more
of
a
normal
situation.
That
being
said,
the
shared
street
is
something
that's
been
on
the
docket
and
something
they
would
like
to
do
so.
The
first
step
would
be
putting
it
back
in
the
budget
to
have
a
conceptual
design
of
what
it
would
look
like,
and
then
the
construction
would
come
after
that.
U
So
again,
this
the
shared
Street
idea
that
is
also
recommended
in
the
transportation
plan,
is
a
great
idea,
because
it
would
provide
a
more
flexible
street
that
can
be
a
pedestrian
only
if
you
think
of
the
festivals
that
take
place
on
Kirkwood
and
it
can
make
the
sidewalks
more
accessible,
so
you
could
have
outdoor
dining,
you
could
have
more
trees.
Things
would
be
there'd,
be
beautification
in
general
from
the
nice
design
that
they
would
have
for
that
shared
Street.
U
But
then
you
would
also
have
a
lane
for
for
vehicles
for
deliveries,
so
that
was
pretty
exciting
to
find
out,
because
it
would
actually
solve
a
lot
of
these
issues
like
with
beautification
and
the
delivery
issues
and
so
yeah.
So
moving
on
from
that,
the
next
thing
of
concern
was
the
measure
of
success
and
some
data
to
analyze
during
this
2023
season.
U
So,
first
for
the
measurement
of
success,
we
do
want
to
use
the
Bloomington
comprehensive
plan
that
was
done
in
2018
as
a
starting
point
to
measure
the
outcomes,
and
so
measurements
would
be
whether
the
resulting
outcome
has
generated
increased
Revenue,
drawn
more
visitors
or
resulted
in
positive
feedback
from
users
and
so
measuring.
Several
different
aspects
of
this
Pro
of
that
would
be
helpful
to
fully
understand
the
true
impact
of
outdoor
dining
and
how
we
would
directly
do.
That
is
one
we
are
going
to.
If
this
shall
happen,
it
should
happen.
U
This
year
we
would
partner,
with
visit
Bloomington
on
some
new
visitor
research,
that
they
are
getting
it's
data
of
movement
downtown.
They
don't
have
the
numbers
yet,
but
Rockport
Rockport
analytics
is
the
name
of
the
company
that
will
do
is
doing
the
study
with
them
and
it's
based
on
the
standard
implant.
Economic
research
model.
So
it's
just
tracking
movement
downtown.
U
They
said
they
would
love
to
share
that
with
with
us
once
they
actually
have
that
data.
It's
in
the
process
right
now.
They
don't
have
it
currently,
it's
they're,
but
it's
a
current
thing
happening
that
they
will
have
it
relatively
soon,
so
we
can
partner
with
them
to
actually
get
that
data
and
see
what's
happening.
U
Another
thing
is
some
more
with
vibrancy
that
will
really
help
with
measuring
the
vibrancy
as
well
between
parking
data
and
then
also
this
movement
data
that
will
help
measure
the
density
of
consumer
activities
and
the
diversity
of
consumer
activities
as
well,
and
so
there's
some
scoring
on
that
that
we
can
do
as
well
as
we
would.
We
want
to
do
and
more
comprehensive
survey
of
the
public
and
the
businesses,
so
we
would
have
QR
codes
on
the
tables
throughout
the
season.
U
Should
that
happen,
and
we
will
also
get
out
the
survey
to
people
as
well
directly
send
it
to
them,
and
the
questions
would
be
measuring
outcomes
instead
of
outputs.
So
on
a
scale
of
one
to
five
How
likely.
Are
you
to
recommend
the
curriculate
closure
or
parklet
to
friends?
How
likely.
Are
you
to
visit
again?
How
safe
did
you
feel?
Does
this
increase
your
feeling
of
community
and
then
from
that
talking
to
the
business
owners?
U
More,
there
is
also
have
been
some
issues
with
88
compliancy
for
Kirkwood
and
the
parklets,
and
so
my
lovely
colleague
Dean
de
la
Rosa,
she's,
going
to
work
with
engineering
to
monitor
the
Ada
compliancy.
In
addition
to
that,
she's
going
to
talk
to
the
businesses
more
about
any
pros,
cons
issues
and
gather
more
data
from
them
directly
about
how
the
closures
of
the
parklets
are
affecting
them.
So
that'll
happen
more
regularly.
U
Should
this
happen,
this
season
it'll
be
a
periodic
thing
over
the
season
likely
monthly,
where
we
will
directly
talk
to
businesses
and
ask
some
of
these
questions,
as
well
as
the
entire
season
have
QR
codes
out
on
tables
and
the
entire
season
try
to
reach
as
many
members
of
the
public
that
we
can.
With
these
specific
questions,
I
just
said
that
brings
us
to
beautification
how
we're
going
to
measure
that
again,
the
shared
Street
conceptual
design
would
take
care
of
a
lot
of
that
issue.
U
But
since
that's
not
happening
yet,
we
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
again
measure
the
things
I've
already
mentioned
with
the
vibrancy
and
also
just
try
out
different
things
and
see
what
works
and
include
that
in
the
surveys
to
the
people
and
to
the
businesses
to
see
what
what
works
and
what
doesn't
we've
outlined.
If
you
look
at
the
resolution,
you
can
see,
we've
outlined
some
ideas
for
the
businesses
to
to
do
when
the
in
the
parklet.
U
So
it's
just
a
matter
of
working
with
them
on
something
that
is
not
that
is
Affordable
and
and
also
adds
some
sort
of
beautification.
It's
going
to
be
hard
to
to
Really
determine
that,
but
we
just
want
to
use
this
ear
again
to
collect
some
more
feedback
and
try
different
things
to
see
what
works
and
again
we're
just
going
to
look
at
that
Transportation
plan
and
the
comprehensive
plan
to
really
just
see
how
we're
Meeting
those
goals
for
the
whole
city
of
Bloomington
and
how
this
pertains
to
that.
U
So
that
being
said
and
another
thing
that
we
need
that
we
want
to
make
sure
we
do
this
year.
How
we
would
measure
success
is
that
if
we
can
get
the
Ada
parking
increased,
so
engineering
put
forth
a
plan
last
year
to
again
around
Kirkwood
expand
the
Ada
parking
spots
and
one
will
definitely
happen
by
April
1st,
the
rest
of
them.
We
would
like
to
see
that
happen
this
year,
so
that'll
be
a
measure
of
success.
U
If
that
happens,
and
then
another
one
would
be
getting
the
shared
Street
on
the
budget
for
next
year,
the
conceptual
design
of
the
shared
Strait
on
the
budget
for
next
year
would
be
another
thing
that
would
measure
our
success.
If
we're
able
to
do
that,
and
so
more
data
is
the
parking
data
thanks
to
council
member
volen
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
D
alarosa,
my
colleague
to
talk
about
that.
K
Hello,
D
Delarosa
Small
Business
Development
for
ESD
in
city
of
Bloomington
I'd
like
to
thank
you
Council
for
taking
this
time
with
us.
K
In
addition
to
the
issues
raised
with
the
previous
review
of
resolution,
2304
istios
worked
with
parking
services
with
assistance
from
council
member
volen
to
assess
the
impact
of
the
closure
of
selected
parking
availability
on
Kirkwood
Avenue
and
around
the
square.
I
will
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
our
findings
and
welcome
councilmember
Roland
to
speak
to
specifics
of
the
data.
After
our
overview.
L
K
Thank
you,
Mr
Lucas,
the
numbers
in
the
first
slide
are
provided
by
provided
to
our
department
by
parking
services.
Thank
you,
Michelle
wall.
They
reflect
the
annual
combined
net
revenue
of
Park
Mobile
IPS,
which
is
integrated
parking
services
and
garages.
I
will
note
that
I
have
rounded
figures
to
the
nearest
dollar
and
this
does
not
reflect
the
revenue
from
citations.
K
The
sheet
has
several
breakdowns
and
comparisons,
but
I
like
to
focus
on
the
table
in
the
upper
left
corner
the
table
breaks
down
the
annual
net
revenue
from
2014
to
2022
segmenting
the
years
as
pre-covered
covid,
state
of
emergency
and
state
of
emergency
ending
in
March
or
the
first
quarter.
I
have
added
the
averages
with
2020
considered
and
without
2020
below.
K
If
we
compare
the
higher
average
without
2020
with
2021
and
2022,
there
is
still
a
substantial
underperformance
in
2021,
showing
a
loss
of
1.
million
or
I'm
sorry
1.8
million
dollars.
This
is
likely
due
to
the
state
of
emergency,
causing
limited
capacity
in
public
venues
and
many
residents
to
work
and
attend
classes.
Remotely
2022
marked
the
end
of
the
state
of
Public
Health
Emergency,
and
we
see
substantial
increase
from
2021
of
407
491
dollars.
In
addition,
the
revenue
for
2022
falls
short
of
the
higher
average
by
only
22
980
dollars.
K
The
Bloomington
of
2023
has
evolved
in
several
ways
from
the
Bloomington
of
2019,
with
the
ability
to
work
and
attend
school
from
anywhere
increase.
Micro
mobility
and
programs
like
go
Bloomington,
encouraging
public
and
shared
Transportation
parking
Revenue
will
be
impacted
due
to
the
many
factors
affecting
parking,
except
for
the
pandemic.
No
one
factor
can
be
singled
out
as
a
primary
cause
for
lowered
revenues.
However,
the
overall
revenue
recovery
is
on
track
to
surpass
the
average
income
based
on
the
past
nine
years
of
data.
However,
there's
a
section
referred
to
as
University
Village.
K
However,
the
section
referred
to
as
University
Village
has
been
slower
to
recover
than
city-wide
parking,
but
is
quickly
catching
up
to
pre-pandemic
numbers.
We
Define
University
Village
as
the
100
block,
100,
100
and
500
blocks
of
East
4th
Kirkwood
and
6th
North
and
South
100
blocks
of
Washington
Lincoln
Grant
Dunn
and
the
100
block
of
South
Indiana,
which
is
a
total
of
24
blocks
out
of
97,
and
just
to
note
that
there
are
more
blocks
included
after
2019,
but
this
is
up
to
2019..
K
The
Blackson
University
Village
have
recovered
by
82
percent
in
comparison
to
all
other
blocks:
95
recovery,
When,
comparing
2019
to
2020,
despite
the
Kirkwood
closure
and
implementation
of
parklets.
With
that
I
welcome
questions
from
Council
and
additional
comments
and
information
from
council
member
Roland.
Thank
you.
U
Before
you
get
into
the
data,
let
me
just
finish
real
quick,
so
base
we'll
hear
out
council
member
volen
about
the
parking
data,
but
I
just
want
to
say
to
conclude
a
little
bit
before
the
questions
that,
based
on
all
of
this,
a
recommendation
does
remain
the
same.
So
the
2.5
blocks
on
Kirkwood
being
closed
as
well
as
allowing
the
park
program
to
exist,
basically
the
same
with
an
added
compliancy
for
Ada
and
beautification.
U
The
updated
timelines
pushed
back
about
two
weeks,
but
the
program
would
still
start
on
April
3rd.
U
So
I
also
want
to
note
that
there's
a
possible
amendment
that
we
have
for
you
all
the
option
to
keep
the
block
outside
of
Lenny's
Indiana
to
Dunn.
There
is
an
optional
amendment
that
you
could
keep
that
open,
so
that
is
on
the
table,
but
our
recommendation
is
for
consistency,
sake
and
that
we
still
believe
that
there's
vibrancy
and
economic
benefits
is
to
continue
the
program
as
last
year
with
the
shortened
season
so
from
April
to
October.
U
First
and
again,
we
want
to
have
the
conceptual
design
of
the
shared
Street
getting
back
on
track,
and
that
would
alleviate
issues
and
provide
a
better
solution
to
a
lot
of
this,
but
using
this
year
to
gather
that
data
and
do
more
surveys,
as
I
said
before,
and
and
just
being
able
to
look
at
this
year
versus
2022
the
first
two
years
out
of
the
pandemic,
where
we
don't
have
a
public
health
emergency,
we
feel
would
be
beneficial,
especially
since
we'll
be
partnering
now
with
visit
Bloomington,
and
we
have
these
increased
compliancy
procedures
with
Ada
and
beautification.
U
So
again,
our
recommendation
does
remain
the
same.
So
thank
you
and
now
Council
memberville.
If
you
want
to
talk
about
the
parking
data
and
then
we'll
be
ready
for
questions,
please
do.
D
I
want
to
sort
of
just
back
up
what
both
of
them
said
about
the
the
data
it's
important
to
not
zoom
into
just
the
last
four
years,
2019
through
2022.,
so
the
three,
the
the
bottom
right,
20,
the
percentages
compare
how
that
year
did
to
the
banner
year
of
2019.,
so
the
29
and
the
bottom
portion
there.
That's
the
white
row
is
University
Village.
D
The
gray
row
is
all
other
blocks
besides
University
Village,
so
the
other
three
quarters
of
the
meter
Zone
and
the
bottom
is
the
total
revenue
in
the
meter
Zone.
The
first
thing
I
should
say
is
that
you
know
meter
data
does
not
necessarily
economic
performance.
Make
there's
a
lot
of
different
reasons
why
you
know
meter
Revenue
goes
up
and
down,
but,
generally
speaking,
it's
an
indicator
of
progress.
D
So
in
2020,
firstly,
the
pandemic
Revenue
in
University
Village
dropped
to
50
of
2019
in
the
rest
of
the
district,
it
was
57
percent
and
across
the
the
whole
city
it
was
54.
These
are
not
Zero
Sum
percentages
either
in
2021
University
Village
got
back
up
to
68
compared
to
82
for
the
rest
of
the
city,
and
now
University
Village
is
at
82
of
2019
levels
and
the
rest
of
the
city
is
at
95
now
or
the
rest
of
the
meter
zone.
D
D
and
I
lost
a
chain
of
thought
so
also
yeah
I
lost
a
train
of
thought.
So,
having
said
that,
I
would
say
that
it
is
generally
speaking
that
business
is
a
little
off
in
your
University
Village,
based
on
these
numbers.
D
I
just
completely
ran
out
of
things
to
say
so.
I'm
just
gonna
I
have
questions
for
later,
but
that's
different
from
the
oh
I
was
just
going
to
say
thanks
to
Michelle
wall
for
providing
the
data
which
I
spent
the
past
couple
of
days
and
nights.
Crunching
is
the
preliminary
report.
These
numbers
are
not
official;
they
have
not
been
vetted
by
the
parking
commission.
We
just
threw
them
together
in
an
effort
to
ask
the
question:
what's
happening
in
the
University
Village
overlay,
and
should
we
be
concerned
about
the
closure.
D
In
other
words,
we
chose
these
24
blocks
because
they
surround
the
three
blocks
that
have
been
closed
to
see.
If
there
has
been
any,
you
know
to
see
how
parking's
been
affected.
People
don't
just
not
come
to
a
block,
because
the
block
is
closed.
They
park
around
the
corner,
so
we
tried
to
capture
that
in
this
data.
This
is
the
best
we
could
do,
but
it
was
done
on
very
short
notice,
with
parking
data
that
we've
only
gotten
in
the
past
few
days.
U
D
said
the
variables
there's
a
lot,
so
I
just
want
to
point
that
out
again,
it's
not
just
outdoor
dining,
that's
affecting
these
numbers.
Necessarily
it's
these
other
things
being
remote
post-pandemic
world,
all
these
things
and
the
numbers
have
been
steadily
increasing.
So
it's
and
I
think
we
can
also
we've
said
measure
vibrancy
from
that
as
well.
How
many
people
are
still
going
downtown
and
on
Kirkwood,
so
I
think
we
are
ready
for
questions
now.
So
thank
you.
J
Yes,
I'm
confused,
so
I
have
this
outdoor
dining
parking
analysis
document
in
front
of
me
and
and
Page
Three
is
what
councilmember,
volan
and
Ms
De
la
Rosa
were
focusing
on
what
do
these
so
the
revenue?
So
we
only
had
a
total
revenue
in
2022
of
2
208,
or
is
this
in
thousands
because
then
I,
look
at
page
two
and
I
have
no
idea
what
the
difference
is
between
page
two
and
Page
Three,
except
that
page
three
says:
revenues
and
it's
2.2
million.
So
can
you
explain
it?
Are
these
units
of
measure
different.
D
Okay,
so
I'm,
looking
at
my.
D
Chart
says
it's
just
looking
at
The
Meters
that
the
the
metered
blocks
that
were
in
place
in
2019
and
prior
since
2019
parking
has
added
several
new
Parking
Services
has
added
several
New
Lots
and
blocks
that
provide
additional
Revenue.
So
the
reason
that
the
numbers
don't
match
is
that
that
is
trying
to
hold
steady
to
look
at
the
prior
three
years
before
the
pandemic
to
the
current
three
years,
so
the
numbers
don't
match
because
in
the
lower
line,
I
included
all
revenue
as
opposed
to
revenue.
Just
in
the
20.
D
The
blocks
that
existed
in
2019.
it
was
to
try
to
get
a
more
consistent.
I
mean
this
bottom
three
rows
just
talks
about
performance
with
a
baseline
of
2019..
So
the
like
I
said:
that's
why
this
is
not
official
we're
just
trying
to
look
at
Trends
here
and,
generally
speaking,
what
is
the
health
of
the
economy
is
measured
by
parking?
D
That's
why
I'm
urging
you
not
to
to
yeah
like
again,
there
were
about
two
point,
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
or
so
of
revenue
from
sources
that
did
not
exist
in
2019..
Does
that
make
sense.
D
J
D
Take
it
I,
take
it
back.
The
I
forgot
I
forgot
that
I
did
this
the
those
three
figures
and
the
bottom
thing
are
actually
the
average
of
the
three
years
before
the
pandemic.
So
that's
why
those
numbers
are
inconsistent.
I'm,
sorry,
I
got
that
wrong.
Those
are
average
figures
for
2017,
18
and
19
together.
D
That
it's
still
the
case
that
I
tried
to
to
only
measure
the
blocks
that
existed
before
the
pandemic
that
were
being
metered.
C
So
I'm
trying
to
determine
you
you
this
concerns
the
Trinity
Episcopal
church
and
the
alleyway.
That
is
of
concern
because
it
is
often
blocked,
but
as
you
described
it,
Extra
Spaces
will
be
available
to
prevent
this
Alleyway
from
being
accessible
to
emergency
vehicles.
Is
that
correct.
U
Issue
with
accessibility
in
the
alleyway
getting
clogged
and
we
believe-
and
we
and
and
maybe
D
should
speak
to
this
rather
than
me,
because
she
is
the
one
that
met
with
them.
Grant,
Street
and
Forestry
had
construction
and
that's
no
longer
happening,
and
that
was
the
main
cause
of
the
clogging
and,
furthermore,
their
Ada.
Their
true
Ada
entrance
is
on
Grant
Street,
so
by
providing
another
at
least
another
parking
space
there
for
Ada
folks
to
park
in
they
liked
that
recommendation
I'll.
Just
let
Dee
talk
about
this.
Oh
there
we
go.
K
Villarosa
city
of
Bloomington,
so
after
speaking
to
the
Reverend
at
Trinity,
what
was
imparted
to
me
was
that
the
Ada
access
and
I
used
quotes
for
that
at
the
alleyway
is
actually
not
up
to
code.
K
Therefore,
their
true
Ada
access
is
the
Grant
Street
access
which
gets
them
straight
into
the
building
and
into
the
elevator.
The
additional
space
is
provided
we
actually
before
even
talking
to
parking
or
planning
or
engineering
or
anything.
You
know
we
had
sat
there
and
talked
about
in.
My
first
idea
was
hey
what
about
that
space
on
the
Soma
side
at
the
corner
and
come
to
find
out
that
was
already
part
of
a
grander
scheme
before
I
was
even
here
so
approaching
them
with
these
ideas.
K
They,
you
know,
we
approached
the
Reverend
with
this
idea.
He
went
to
the
Vestry
and
overall,
the
congregation
as
it
blessed
us
with
their
with
their
support.
So,
overall
between
our
department,
engineering
planning
and
the
church,
we
feel
that
the
Ada
access
on
Grant
Street
will
be
enough.
C
Okay,
so
that's
one
concern
my
my
main
concern
was
the
accessibility
in
case
of
fire
for
emergency
vehicles,
and
the
alleyway
behind
the
church
is.
Is
this
a
non-issue
according
to
Public
Safety?
Do
they
have
any
concerns
about
that
because
it
was
mentioned
by
the
church
as
problematic
and
I
want
to
just
to
make
sure
that
we
weren't
setting
ourselves
up
for
a
problem
there.
U
I'll
talk
to
the
fire
chief
find
my
mind,
so
they
are
neutral.
They
the
plan
for
the
street
closures,
as
it
is
how
it's
been
for
the
last
last
year,
which
was
what
we're
proposing
for
this
year.
He
said
that
we
have
worked
on
the
plans
to
help
minimize
the
impact
to
their
operations
for
the
closures,
and
they
have
found
the
current
arrangement,
where
the
center
of
the
street
stays
open
to
be
a
satisfactory
compromise
between
providing
fire
protection
and
allowing
the
restaurants
to
have
additional
outdoor
seating.
U
You
know
go
up
there,
but
with
providing
them
with
additional
parking
on
Grant
Street
will
alleviate
some
of
that,
as
well
as
the
construction
on
Grant
Street,
not,
and
a
Fourth
Street
not
happening
this
year,
we'll
we'll
make
the
flow
of
traffic
much
better.
So
we
did
talk
to
the
fire
chief,
who
said
again
that
the
current
plans
they
have
like
approved
and
thought
about
that
with
public
works
for
all
of
those
things.
So.
C
But
I
okay,
I
have
another
one
in
round
two:
okay.
F
U
Yes,
in
the
original
memo
that
I
the
revised
memo
that
we
sent
before
the
last
time
we
met
on
the
15th,
as
you
might
recall,
it
says
optional
to
remove
the
full
block
between
Indiana
and
Dunn
Street.
We
have
an
amendment
written
by
our
lawyers
here
at
the
city
to
just
take
that
block
out.
If
you
would
choose
to
have
it
open.
So
it's
a
very
simple
process.
U
L
Staff
had
three
other
Administration
staff
had
previously
put
together
that
were
included
in
tonight's
meeting
packet.
Neither
of
those
to
my
knowledge
have
any
sponsors,
but
if
any
council
member
wishes
to
move
either
of
those
amendments,
those
were
included
in
the
packet
I
can
display
those.
U
F
Right
and
my
last
comment
on
that
is
I'm
happy
to
be
a
sponsor
on
removing
Indiana
to
done
or
no
Indiana.
J
E
D
I
wanted
to
ask
questions
of
Ms
modinger,
so
the
data
about
bollards
and
parklets
went
by
way
too
fast
for
me.
So
let
me
just
so.
You
said
that
to
install
bollard's,
the
initial
cost
to
acquire
them
and
to
put
the
sockets
in
the
ground
for
them
was
forty
two
thousand
dollars
all
the
way
up
and
down
Kirkwood.
That's.
U
Per
side
like
so
that
it's
so
per
intersection,
it's
double
that
so.
U
Per
intersection,
so
the
numbers
I
were
given
is
per
so
it's
42
times
two,
so
it'd
be
the
two
sides
of
Kirkwood.
So
if
you,
if
you
look
at
Kirkwood,
it's
just
Kirkwood,
that's
closed
off,
not
like
Grant
Street,
for
instance,
so
there's
only
the
two
sides
that
have
bollards
each
of
those
sides
is
a
little
over
42k.
Okay,.
D
D
Okay,
you've
lost
me
again,
so
there
are
three
blocks
in
question:
there
is
the
500
block
of
of
East
Kirkwood,
which
is
sample
gates
to
Dunn
Street
and
there's.
How
much
did
that
did
those
to?
How
much
did
it
cost
in
bollards.
V
U
D
U
D
Okay
with
the
parklets,
you
said,
the
orange
Jersey
barriers
were
250
each.
D
So
that's
the
initial
install
and
that
is
how
much.
U
Yes,
so
that's
just
the
labor
cost
so
yeah
just.
D
U
Yeah
because
it
says
they
four
hours
per
week
to
keep
just
keep
up
with
the
barricades.
U
And
then,
and
then
there's
like
the
crew
there's
the
crew
cost.
That
is
in
addition
to
that.
So
it's
I
forget
about
it.
Let
me
see,
let
me
find
that
let
me
try
to
be
a.
D
Little
okay
get
back
to
us
when
you,
when
you
figure
that
out.
The
last
question
I
have
is
about
your
your
description
of
cost
for
the
shared
Street
like
like
almost
completely
missed
what
you
estimated.
You
said
that
the
original
estimation
of
making
Kirkwood
a
shared
Street
was
in
the
millions.
But
could
you
be
more
specific
about
what
it
would
cost
to
transform
it.
U
I
cannot
because
it
hasn't
ever
been
done.
I've
talked
to
planning
directly
planning
Transportation
directly
and
they
didn't
want
to
be
quoted
on
this,
but
it
likely
the
conceptual
design
as
well
as
the
construction
would
be
likely
over
five
million
dollars
and
whereas
even
the
conceptual
design
process
could
cost
several
million.
That
I
don't
have
hard
numbers
on
that
right
now,
because.
D
Yeah,
so
no
that's
fine,
but
just
to
to
finish
fully
understanding
what
you
reported
planning
and
Engineering
we're
not
enthusiastic
about
the
idea
of
putting
Jersey
barriers
down
the
middle
of
the
street.
Can
you
go
into
that
a
little
bit
about
why.
U
The
they
did
not
like
that.
They
believed
that
to
have
a
true
shared
Street,
you
need
the
actual
true
design
for
a
shared
Street.
That's
very
pedestrian
friendly
and
just
by
putting
bollards
or
orange
Jersey
barriers
on
in
down
the
middle
of
the
street
does
not
necessarily
provide
that.
You
need
to
rethink
the
whole
design
concept
of
that
street
to
truly
make
it
a
shared
Street
and
D.
K
City
of
Bloomington,
also
by
putting
something
down
the
center
of
the
street.
The
way
we
have
the
outdoor
dining
set
up
right
now
that
center
lane
is
essentially
the
fire
lane.
D
U
So
cutting
off
the
width
of
the
actual
Street
to
just
one
lane,
as
it
is
wouldn't
work,
because,
if
you've
a
shared
Street,
it's
a
level.
So
if
you
look
at
a
true
shared
street,
I
was
talking
a
day
with
one
of
our
colleagues,
and
she
was
saying
that
a
tree
of
shared
street
is
can
be.
Is
it's
pedestrian
forward
and
so
part
of
that
means
it's
very
accessible?
Which
means
the
street
is
level
it's
all
one
level,
there's
not
a
sidewalk.
U
That
has
a
step
up,
whereas
you
need
like
ramps
for
80
accessibility,
so
so
so,
because
there's
the
sidewalk
that's
higher
than
the
actual
Street
that
isn't
great
for
a
shared
Street.
In
addition
to
that,
because
there's
different
levels:
you're
cutting
off
that
middle
section
of
the
actual
Street
of
the
two
lanes,
you're
cutting
that
down
the
middle.
U
So
that
leaves
a
narrower
path
that
they
think
is
riskier
for
fire
and
police
and
all
of
that,
whereas
with
the
bollards
that
are
there
now
or
like
particles,
you
can
drive
right
up
to
the
orange
berries.
You
don't
have
to
move
them
the
Ballers.
You
can
move
much
easier
than
you
can
a
jersey
barrier.
U
Bollard
system
down
the
middle
of
the
street
just
wouldn't
work,
it's
one
very
expensive
and
also
the
idea
would
just
be
to
actually
fully
move
to
a
shared
Street
and
have
that
conceptual
design
and
plan
it.
So
it's
like
all
one
level,
there's
more
accessibility,
it's
also
just
not
great
right
now.
So
a
true
shared
Street
means
someone
in
a
wheelchair,
for
instance,
can
on
any
part
of
that
street
go
into
the
outdoor
dining
area
or
go
into
a
shop,
because
it's
all
one
level.
U
So
that's
that's
part
of
it.
Why
it's
just
not
going
to
work
to
the
current
structure
of
Kirkwood.
Just
doesn't
work
for
that
between
fire
safety,
pedestrian
safety
as
well
so
input
Public
Works
just
doesn't
want
to
they.
They
don't
want
to
do
it.
For
those
reasons,
as
well
as
risk
said,
it's
too
dangerous
as
it
is
so
we
yeah.
A
E
You
additional
round
two
questions:
council,
member
Rallo.
C
Yeah,
well
maybe
this
is
better
suited
if
an
amendment
comes,
but
maybe
just
as
a
segue
could
you
describe
there's
been
a
negative
impact
as
I
gathered
on
the
bicycle
garage.
They
know
that
you
know
they
it's
affecting
their
business
negatively.
What
what
have
you
have?
You
worked
with
them?
What
is
and
have
you
been
able
to
mitigate
effects
or
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
that.
U
U
We've
listened
to
their
concerns
and
as
well
about
the
alloy
being
clogged
and
that
being
the
main
impact
and
they
and
they
want
better
traffic
flow
as
well.
In
addition,
so,
yes,
so
that's
all
that's!
The
only
solution
we
have
is
to
potentially
not
open
that
block,
but
we
don't
have
substantial
evidence.
Besides
what
they've
said,
which
we,
we
believe
that
it's
you
know
causing
them
to
have
an
inconvenience
in
their
Alleyway
with
doordashers
and
like
restaurant
delivery
trucks.
U
If
the
block
would
be
closed
or
the
the
Kirkwood
block
outside
their
business
from
Indiana
Dunn
would
be
closed.
We
would
like
to
assess
the
situation
more
and
see
what
to
do
about
that
problem
again.
Is
it
having
more
Ada
spots?
Is
it
having
a
limited
parking
spots?
Pickup
drop-off
zones
are,
unfortunately,
not
super
feasible,
but
that
is
something
that
we
can
go
forth
and
figure
out,
but
we
did
really
want
to
listen
to
what
they
were
saying
and
how
it
impacted
them.
But
yeah.
U
There
wasn't
enough
time
in
the
last
two
weeks
to
to
assess
the
situation
any
further
than
provide
the
option
for
the
block
closure
and
just
know
how
they
feel
about
it
to
be
able
to
work
with
them
in
the
future
and
find
those
Solutions
like
we
did
with
Trinity
Church.
U
So
I
I'm,
not
sure.
If
the
answer
to
your
question
but
yeah.
C
C
U
E
H
U
It's
behind
the
Von
Lee,
where
that
IU
parking
lot
is
yeah.
H
I'm
just
I'm
a
little
surprised,
I
guess
to
hear
that
it
gets
blocked,
because
it's
two
car
widths
wide
like
it's.
It's
24
feet
wide
like
really
more
like
a
street
in
in
most
cases,
so
it
I
would
hope
it
would
be
fairly
exceptional
that
two
delivery
vehicles
are
parked
side
by
side
block.
You
know
doubly
blocking
an
alley
from
both
directions
like.
U
Yes,
that
that's
why
we
haven't
been
able
to
assess
the
situation,
which
is
why,
again,
we
would
love
for
the
recommendation
this
year
to
be
the
2.5
block.
Blocks
being
closed,
so
we
can
further
assess
the
situation
and
see
the
actual
problems
and
work
with
them
on
seeing
what
the
issues
are,
because
we
just
it's
not
closed
right
now.
So
we
can't
do
a
study
on
that
or
see
the
actual
problems,
and
we
talked
briefly
with
them.
U
Ideally,
what
we're
also
recommending
is
to
do
this
again
this
year,
for
that
consistency
and
vibrancy,
but
also
to
say
a
shared
Street
and
putting
that
in
the
budget
and
having
a
conceptual
design
moving
forward
would
alleviate
a
lot
of
these
issues,
because
that
would
allow
for
a
better
flow
of
traffic,
with
deliveries
and
and
whatnot,
as
well
as
have
a
safe
space
for
pedestrians
to
actually
move
about
on
Kirkwood.
So
that
really
is
the
answer
here.
Is
that
shared
Street.
U
H
H
W
H
U
Yeah
I,
yes,
it's
as
we
were
trying
to
you
know,
assess
these
situations.
We
talked
to
them
yesterday,
two
of
the
manager
and
one
of
the
owners
and
learned
this.
So
it's
hard
to
say
I
mean
we
obviously
really
take.
U
J
Yes,
you
mentioned
that
you
were
going
to
get
feedback
by
you
know,
for
example,
by
having
QR
codes
on
the
tables
outside
and
talking
to
the
businesses
and
staying
in
touch
about
the
parklets
and
ADA
compliance.
There
I
wonder,
though,
how
you
would
gather
input
from
people
about
whether
or
not
it
the
the
closure
of
Kirkwood
and
the
addition
of
parklets
prevents
people
from
going
downtown
I
mean
if
they're
not
there,
to
fill
out
a
survey.
How
would
you
know
that
and
related
to
this?
J
U
So
for
your
first
point,
we
believe
the
parking
also
helps
show
the
vibrancy
of
the
downtown
and
sorry
I.
Think
I
keep
not
talking
to
the
microphone.
U
We
believe
that
the
parking
data
in
further
studies
of
that
will
help
show
the
vibrancy
and
how
many
people
are
going
downtown,
so
I
think
that'll
be
the
more
we
can
analyze
that
and
collect
from
from
this
year.
If
the
program
should
happen
again,
will
help
us
compared
to
2022
and
just
and
see
how
those
numbers
are
compared
to
again
free
pandemic
pre-covered,
so
that
will
help
is
analyzing
that
and
seeing
like
how
many
people
are
coming
downtown
and
if
they
can't
park
on
Kirkwood.
What
does
the
parking
data
say?
U
Do
they
go
on
the
other
blocks
that
may
be
significantly
haven't,
had
as
much
have
made
as
much
in
Revenue
in
the
last
years?
U
Has
that
gone
up?
You
know
just
seeing
that,
because
we
do
truly
believe
that
if
someone
can't
go
on
Kirkwood,
they
are
going
to
park
on
4th
Street,
6th,
Street
or
the
garage
or
elsewhere.
So
again,
it's
just
analyzing
that
parking
data
to
see
how
that
looks
and
again
really
being
able
to
compare
this
year
to
last
year,
because
these
2022
again
there
was
no
last
summer
during
this
season
of
this
program,
there
was
no
Public
Health
Emergency,
and
that
would
be
the
case
for
this
year.
U
There's
no
Public
Health
emergencies,
so
these
two
years
would
be
ideal
to
like
compare
that
parking
data
to
see
how
many
people
are
coming
downtown
and
what
the
revenue
is.
So
that
will
help
the
other
thing
is
we
talked
to
Michael
Sherman,
who
is
a
strong
Advocate
and
person
for
the
Ada
issues,
and
we
really
do
believe
that
the
the
plan
that
engineering
put
forth
to
increase
the
Ada
parking
around
Kirkwood
would
be
sufficient,
as
well
as
a
shared
Street
idea.
If
we
can
get
a
conceptual
design.
J
No
I
I
I
appreciate
it.
I
just
have
one
follow-up,
so
yeah
we
I'm
sure
most
people
recognize
that
some
people
who
who
drive
they
may
drive
themselves
but
not
be
able
to
walk
at
any
sort
of
distance
from
the
business
they're
trying
to
patronize.
So
is
that
do
you
think
that
you
will
be
able
to
like?
How
would
you
gain
that
feedback?
You
know
if
they
come
and
they
think
there's
an
ADA
space,
but
it's
a
block
away
and
for
them
that
makes
it
inaccessible
to
go
to
that
business.
J
U
Not
sure
that
Mr
Lucas
has
the
map
of
the
proposed
new
Ada
spots
that
engineering
put
forth
because
actually,
yes,
I,
would
still
be
partially
an
issue
perhaps,
but
where
the
spots
are
are
pretty
ideally
located
to
help
ease
that
still
and
I
think
it
would
be
then
assessing
where
the
true
Ada
compliant
entrances
of
the
businesses,
for
instance
Trinity
Church,
that's
on
Grant,
Street,
they're,
on
a
corner
of
course,
but
so
seeing
where
those
those
entrances
are
would
be
helpful.
U
But
engineering
did
that
whole
study
on
where
they
suggest
better
and
more
Ada
parking
should
be
so
I.
Don't
there's
I
have
to
find
the
map
but
I'm
happy
to
send
that
to
you
to
see
what
the
proposed
Ada
parking
would
be
and
I
think
that
would
help
alleviate
it
as
for
getting
more
info
from
those
folks
and
how
it
affects
them.
U
I
think
what
we
want
to
do
is
be
talking
to
people
like
Michael,
Sherman
or
the
commission,
and
just
talking
to
members
of
the
public
and
and
not
just
doing
the
QR
codes,
but
really
having
targeted,
making
sure
we're
having
a
diverse
group
of
people
answer
the
survey
and
that
definitely
includes
people
with
accessibility
needs.
U
So
just
trying
to
get
that
trying
to.
We
can
build
in
a
question
specifically
about
that
in
the
survey
and
or
create
a
new
survey
for
that,
but
really
just
actually
trying
to
have
that
Community
engagement
and
reaching
those
folks
little
elbow
grease
and
trying
to
figure
that
out,
but
yeah
so,
and
just
also
working
with
our
colleagues
that
are
experts
on
that
or
the
commission
to
to
make
sure
people's
voices
are
being
heard
on
it.
U
That
we
can
address
the
issues
which
is
again
why
I
think
they
shared
the
street
would
be
an
answer
to
that,
because
that
is
really
it's
so
accessible
for
pedestrians
and
so
yeah.
It's
kind
of
this
year
would
be
a
great
year
to
gather
that
info
and
see
how
it
affects
people
in
a
more
thoughtful
way.
With
more
actual
data
points
that
we're
looking
at
the
movement
and
trying
to
reach
those
folks
that
haven't
been
reached
out
to
before
so
yeah
that
can
involve
commissions
and
yeah,
so
hope
that
answers
your
question.
U
U
E
Okay,
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
thank
you.
Everyone
for
the
discussion,
too.
I
especially
appreciate
your
focus
on
measures
of
success,
because
I
think
we
pushed
that
pretty
hard
last
week.
If
this
year
has,
if
we're
we
are
to
provide
another
year
to
do
this
research,
how
and
it's
gone
well.
How
would
we
know
you
briefly
mentioned
something
called
Rockport
analytics?
Could
you
talk
more
about
their
capabilities
and
their
methodology?
We
kind
of
skimmed
right
through
that,
but
I
I
think.
U
And
I'm
not
going
to
be
an
expert
on
this
because
it's
visington's
using
them,
they
use
them
it's
using
a
it's
data
from
like
cell
phones
and
and
how
people
move
around
and
Gathering
that
info
to
see
what
the
where
they're
going
and
how
they're
using
the
downtown.
So
it's
something
like
that.
I
can't
speak
to
anything
super
specific.
Do
you
know
D?
Maybe
D
can
elaborate.
K
D
Del
Rosa
city
of
Bloomington,
so
what
we've
gathered
from
visit
Bloomington
is
that
the
data
or
the
software
that
they
have
can
collect
data
of
general
movement.
K
So
say
you
park
downtown
near
Dunkirk
Square.
It
won't
say
exactly
where
you
are,
but
it
will
show
that
there
is
a
person
there,
so
a
very,
very
general
kind
of
data.
At
least
this
is
what
I'm
understanding.
So
we
can
see
like
concentrations
of
people
and
flow
of
people
and
general
quantities
of
people,
but
no
personal
data
to
that
effect.
Yeah.
But
just
it's
just
very,
very
general
thing,
so
you
know
we're
still
working
with
them
to
figure
out
some
kind
of
some.
K
Some
kind
of
you
know
partnership
in
using
this
data
to
help
them
see
how
the
downtown
area
is
doing-
and
you
know
also
help
us
out
and
figuring
out.
You
know
what
we
can
improve
for
the
downtown
area
and
specifically
for
the
outdoor
dining
program,
but
just
in
general
to
help
small
businesses
of
all
kinds
downtown.
E
U
And
I
just
want
to
thanks
for
bearing
with
us.
We
can
definitely
get
more
specific.
You
know
we
had
the
two
weeks,
so
it's
for
trying
our
best
to
answer
all
this,
and
so
that
is
something
that,
like
Dee,
said,
the
partnership
between
we
will
know
more
once
we
work
with
start
to
work
with
Mike
over
there
and
everyone,
but
I
I
yeah.
E
So,
thank
you
for
that.
Are
there
additional
round
two
questions,
if
not
I'd
like
to
suggest
we
allow
public
comment
now
before
going
to
round
three
any
objections.
Yes,.
D
Have
is
for
months
on
end
we
close
streets
for
construction
projects
in
a
way
this
isn't
that
different.
Why
is
it
that
those
construction
projects
aren't
I
mean?
Are
they
using
concrete
barriers,
as
opposed
to
water
barriers?
Do
we
not
have
access
to
concrete
barriers,
or
we
could
make
one
lane
closed
for
constructing
an
economy
as
opposed
to
a
building.
K
I
I
think
that
and
we're
we're
still.
This
is
still
in
reference
to
Kirkwood
and
putting
barriers
down
down
the
center
and
and
to
clarify
before
I
wasn't
saying
that
there
was
already
a
center
lane,
but
the
outdoor
dining
that
is
created
kind
of
creates
a
lane
in
between.
D
K
D
U
U
Also
I
mean
more
orange
Jersey
barriers
doing
that
for
a
whole
season.
That
long
down
the
middle
would
probably
mean
we'd
have
to
buy
more
I.
Don't
think
that's
in
the
budget,
so
that
just
opens
up
a
whole
other
can
of
worms
on
the
probability
and
still
there's
that
again,
the
the
risk
safety
that
it's
for
such
a
you
know
it's
from
April
to
the
end
of
September.
U
So
there's
just
a
lot
of
issues
with
that.
That's
not
just
about
compared
to
construction.
It's
these
other
things
in
construction
zones,
pedestrians
aren't
trying
to
cross
the
street
or
eat
outside.
So
you
know,
there's
there's
usually
just
cars
or
people,
maybe
Crossing
an
intersection.
But
again
it's
just
a
different
concept
here
that
the
city,
the
city
departments,
don't
feel
comfortable
with
doing
currently
sure.
D
Well,
the
the
the
cost
of
a
shared
street
is
significant
far
higher
than
this.
So
if
you're
saying
we
don't
have
it
in
the
budget
to
do
well.
U
This
year,
because
we're
talking
about
a
program
for
this
year,
the
budget
passed
last
year,
I,
don't
know
what
I
can't
really
speak
to
the
budget
and
say
like
yes,
we
can,
you
know,
buy
more
stuff
this
year,
perhaps
next
year,
but
again
it's
not
just
the
cost
of
the
barriers.
It's
it's
having
a
conceptual
design
that
meets
all
the
standards
we
want
to
meet
when
we're
talking
about
a
true,
shared
Street
and
by
just
putting
anything
down
the
middle
of
the
lane
doesn't
make
it
a
Church.
Street
is
what.
U
U
No,
but
we
could
have
a
conceptual
design
next
year.
So
again,
it's
I
know
what
you're
saying
to
try
to
alleviate
some
of
the
issues
on
that
block,
but
the
we
truly
believe
the
only
answers
are
leaving
it
fully
open
or
leaving
it
fully
closed.
It's
just
going
to
be
the
best
way
to
handle
the
current
to
keep
it
to
keep
everyone
safe.
So.
E
L
Yes,
if
there
are
members
of
the
public
that
would
like
to
comment
on
resolution
2304,
please
let
us
know
by
using
the

in
Zoom.
You

in
your

by
clicking

or
the
more

you
can
also
send
us
a

Let
us
know
you'd
like
to
speak.
W
Okay,
I'm
Mike
clingy
I'm,
the
owner
of
the
orbit,
Room
downtown
on
the
Square.
We
have
had
a
parklet
the
two
times
that
the
park
let
program
has
come
out
it
honestly,
the
first
time
it
saved
us.
We
had
only
been
a
business
a
year
and
a
half
before
we
had
to
shut
down
completely
and
come
August.
We
were
allowed
to
have
some
parklet
there,
so
we
could
actually
retain
staff
and
bring
some
people
back.
This
last
parklet
program
we
were
asked
to
become
ADA
Compliant,
which
we
were
the
only
parklet
in
Bloomington.
W
That
was,
we
built
a
deck,
so
it
was
completely
flush
with
the
sidewalk.
It
made
a
really
nice
little
area
to
hang
out
and
sit
outside.
It
didn't
seem
like
it
was
just
some
tables
in
the
middle
of
the
street
and
it
also
saved
us
from
being
able
to
build
back
as
a
business
I
mean
going
into
this
year.
W
We
may
be
where
we
should
be
in
our
third
year
and
even
though
we're
in
our
fifth
and
the
thought
of
the
parking
lots
not
being
out
there
one
it
it's
sad,
because
the
downtown
area
is
beautiful.
We're
in
a
basement,
so
we
can
never
be
completely
ADA
Compliant
unless
we
have
the
parklet
which
we
built
B
ADA
Compliant.
W
We
had
so
many
people
ask
us
actually,
because
we
were
21
and
over
originally
if
their
kids
could
sit
outside
with
them
and
we
actually
became
all
ages.
Because
of
that,
we
went
through
all
the
stages
to
do
that,
and
so
we've
actually
been
able
to
offer
kids
shows
and
all
kinds
of
fun
things
that
take
place
in
the
business,
not
on
the
parklet,
but
I
mean
it's
a
realistic
that
we
probably
wouldn't
be
able
to
continue
to
be
all
ages.
W
Yeah
it's
just
been
amazing
to
be
able
to
have
a
street
side
view
of
a
business.
That's
kind
of
tucked
away
I,
don't
really
know
what
people's
like
thoughts
of.
Why
not
to
do
it?
I
park
downtown
three
to
four
times
a
day
six
days
a
week
and
very
rarely
am
I
less
than
a
block
away.
I
guarantee
you
neither
of
the
garages
have
been
full
in
I
mean
the
new
one's
never
been
full,
but
in
general,
there's
plenty
of
parking
around
and
I
think
there's
even
better
ways
that
we
could
make.
W
The
part
looks
look
even
look
more
like
attractive
to
people
and
kind
of
see
what
kind
of
downtown
Bloomington
do
we
want.
Do
we
want
to
see
people
dining
and
having
fun,
especially
over
the
summer
when
it
is
harder
to
you
know
there
aren't
all
the
students
here,
but
we
expect
tourists
to
come
into
town
and
to
be
able
to
experience
our
downtown
by
just
simply
walking
around
I
mean
I,
don't
think
our
quality
of
life
shouldn't
be
dependent
on
parking
in
front
of
the
place
that
you're
trying
to
visit
all
right.
Thank
you.
W
X
Yes,
this
is
Galen
Cassidy
I
work
at
the
Uptown
Cafe
was
here
last
meeting
appreciate
the
time
again
in
the
consideration.
X
All
the
questions
you
raised
last
time
were
very
valid
and
appreciate
the
work,
the
city's
done
to
to
answer
that
particularly
interested
in
and
what
they
want
to
do
around
data
collection
to
see.
If
this
is
something
we
want
to
move
forward,
Beyond
even
this.
This
season
and
I
just
want
to
express
that
we're
more
than
happy
to
participate
in
any
way
for
that
data
collection,
but
I
I
definitely
want
to
stress
something
that
I
think
can
get
overlooked.
As
we
talk
about
all
this
data
we
can
collect
is
is
again
about.
X
You
know
how
the
outdoor
dining
the
Kirkwood
closure
really
makes.
People
feel
you
know
in
the
hospitality
industry
we're
tasked
with
in
in
restaurants
and
businesses.
Really
all
aspects
of
of
life
is
is
how
we
make
people
feel
and
I
think
the
outdoor
dining
is
is
the
way,
particularly
on
Kirkwood,
the
way
that
this
community
can
continue
to
connect
together
and
really
attract
people,
particularly
in
the
summer
months,
when
we
have
this
close,
where
small
businesses
need
a
little
extra
help.
When,
when
the
traffic
of
the
university
is
down,
we
need
that
Community.
X
We
need
that
sense
of
community
that
we
can
provide
in
our
own.
You
know
own
businesses,
but
being
out
on
Kirkwood
and
dining
or
frequenting
retail
shops
on
Kirkwood
provides
that
community
that
I
think
we're
missing
right
now.
So
in
all
this
talk
about
data
collection,
I,
think,
is
very
important
and
should
be
done.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
not
lost
and
again
stress
that
myself
and
other
businesses
as
we
meet
you
know
monthly.
X
The
Kirkwood
Community
Association,
we're
happy
to
work,
continue
to
work
together
to
provide
that
data
that
we
want
to
collect,
but
also
just
provide
the
the
experience
that
that
all
of
our
guests
are
experiencing
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
whether
it's
problems
with
accessibility
or
parking,
but
also
just
how
they're,
how
they're
feeling
about
everything.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
again.
I
just
wanted
to
express
that
today.
So
thanks.
Y
Y
Y
And
this
does
harm
other
people.
The
parking
does
not
disappear
if
they
can't
park
on
Kirkwood,
it
takes
another
space
in
front
of
another
business.
They
don't
just
disappear.
Where's
your
data
where's,
your
analysis
of
all
these
outside
diners.
Are
they
walking
and
biking
to
get
there?
No
they're
driving
there
parking
someplace
else
in
front
of
another
business,
pushing
parking
away
from
that
business
and
it
hurts
we've
been
downtown
for
nine
years,
we're
on
the
second
floor
of
a
building,
I'm,
really
tired
of
the
growing
number
of
people.
Y
I'm,
sorry
call
them
lazy.
If
you
want
who
complain
about
how
far
they
have
to
go
to
find
a
parking
space
to
get
into
my
office
now,
that's
not
every
hour
of
the
day,
but
it's
it's
enough
and
it's
a
recurring
problem
and
it's
getting
worse.
You've
already
taken
all
the
parking
off
a
7th
Street.
You've
already
closed
next
time
now
on
Kirkwood
again
the
park.
Let's
take
away
other
parking
you're
pushing
all
the
parking
away.
Y
If
you
want
Bloomington
to
be
nothing
but
restaurants,
taverns
and
students,
then
just
say
so,
because
that's
what
you're
doing
that's
what
you're
pushing
for
you're
pushing
everybody
else
out
the
bigger
problem
I
have
with
this.
It
is
not
gummis
rule
to
benefit
a
few
businesses
at
the
harm
of
others.
I
five
are
saying
I'm,
tired
of
hearing
that
word
I'm.
Sorry,
that's
a
buzz
word!
It's
a
it's
a!
It
seems
to
be
a
sacred
word
in
this
conversation,
but
I'm
going
to
lose
out
of
time
here
before
I
get
even
get
started.
Y
But
in
the
year
that
two
years
that
this
stuff's
been
going
on,
where
have
you
reached
out
to
any
other
business
other
than
our
Kirkwood
and
say
we
will
give
a
public
subsidy
to
ensure
that
you
survive
or
to
help
you
thrive,
I
hope
the
Uptown
thrives,
I
object
to
their
thriving
at
the
expense
of
others.
You
have
not
gone
to
College
Mall
and
said
Mr
Mall
operator.
Y
We
will
rent
parking
spaces,
so
the
restaurants
in
your
Mall
can
have
outside
dining
you've,
not
gone
to
any
other
business
location
and
said
we
will
publicly
subsidize
your
survival
and
your
and
your
thriving
here
only
on
Kirkwood
and
only
for
five
or
five
restaurants.
That's
wrong!
That's
not
government's
role!
You
should
not
be
operating
to
benefit
a
few
at
the
harm
of
others
and
I
object
to
this
continue
to
do
this
and
I
see
now
it's
only
going
to
grow.
Thank
you.
Z
Thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
okay,
my
name
is
Paulie
terracone
I've
lived
in
Bloomington
about
10
years.
I
just
want
to
give
first
of
my
thanks
to
the
city
staff
as
well
as
Council
for
all
the
planning.
That's
going
into
this
effort
and
the
important
questions
being
raised
by
Council
I
am
a
very
staunch
supporter
of
this
move
for
Kirkwood
and
I.
Think
it's
not
only
great
for
the
businesses
that
live
there
I
think
it's
great
for
the
people
of
Bloomington
as
a
whole.
Z
Nobody
goes
down
to
Kirkwood
and
thinks
wow.
Look
at
all
these
cars
they're
excited
to
be
at
these
businesses.
They're
excited
to
see
other
people,
they're
excited
to
study
or
engage
with
the
library
and
the
other
wonderful
things
that
make
Bloomington
Bloomington
the
downtown
of
Bloomington,
as
we
all
know,
is
the
economic
engine
of
this
city
and
any
ways
that
we
can
encourage
that
to
thrive
in
more
deep
and
creative
ways
will
only
make
us
more
fortified
as
a
city
moving
forward,
not
just
in
ways
Financial
but
in
ways.
Ecological
is.
Z
Z
Their
is
plenty
of
parking
in
this
city
and
not
just
parking,
but
there
are
plenty
of
people
that
walk
plenty
of
people
that
bike
myself
included.
Most
of
the
time,
I
don't
bother
trying
to
drive
into
downtown
Bloomington,
because
it's.
Z
Think
if
we
can
continue
to
look
at
these
opportunities
for
the
urban
fabric
to
reflect
the
identity
of
people
who
live
here,
Bloomington
will
not
only
become
that
much
more
stable.
It
will
be
that
much
more
welcoming
and
a
place
that
people
actually
want
to
stay.
Thank
you
all
for
your
time
and
thank
you
all
for
your
effort.
Q
I
wasn't
planning
on
speaking
tonight
on
this
issue,
but
a
couple
people
have
raised
some
really
good
things:
the
one
business
owner
I'm
concerned
that
nobody's
reached
out
to
to
other
business
owners,
except
for
those
on
Kirkwood.
Q
Q
Aside
from
that
on
the
closure
of
Kirkwood,
has
anyone
thought
about
having
a
Paratransit
system
for
those
that
cannot
access
even
short
walks?
So
we
have
more
accessibility.
I
have
several
people
that
I
know
who
haven't
been
able
to
access
downtown
since
those
closures
have
been
taking
place
in
the
last
couple
years.
I
do
think
Paratransit
might
be
the
answer
to
that
now
who
gets
that
cost
added
on
to
them?
Q
I'm,
not
sure
it's,
probably
the
businesses,
the
city
isn't
going
to
want
to
take
on
that
cost,
but
I
think
we've
seen
it
with
the
hospital
they
have
shuttle
systems.
You
know
that
people
take
you
to
your
parking
to
the
parking
lot.
So
something
like
that,
a
revolving,
maybe
electric
golf
carts,
or
something
like
that
to
give
rides
to
people
that
cannot
get
to
the
businesses
without
that
sort
of
thing.
Just
an
idea.
Thank
you.
AA
There
was
also
the
construction
or
deconstruction
of
the
poplars
building
which
closed
Grant
as
well
close
done
closed
6th
Street
for
amount
of
time
as
well.
So
that
will
affect
your
parking
data.
The
amendment
and
resolution,
that's
in
front
of
you,
has
been
vetted
by
numerous
businesses
in
the
Kirkwood
area
by
both
DBI
and
by
KCA.
The
area
that
you're
talking
about
from
excuse
me
Indiana
to
Dunn,
has
more
than
Bicycle
Garage
on
that
street.
AA
Every
business
on
that
street
was
asked
and
surveyed
and
Bicycle
Garage
to
my
understanding,
was
the
only
opposition
on
that
on
that
portion
of
the
street
to
Mr
Carmen's
comments
about
benefiting
the
few
I
disagree
with
that
statement
and
I
agree
with
the
statement
that
was
made
by
the
person
online
that
this
benefits
the
entire
Community,
maybe
not
fiscally
for
everybody,
but
I
would
like
to
point
out
as
a
restaurant
owner,
our
kitchen
is
only
a
certain
size.
Adding
80
seats
out
front
doesn't
make
me
thrive.
AA
In
fact,
we
have
to
usually
take
the
number
of
seats
out
of
the
restaurant
on
the
inside
in
order
to
service
the
outside,
so
we're
not
financially
benefiting
from
it.
We're
actually
doing
this
and
not
entirely
an
altruism
I,
don't
know
if
that's
correct
we're
used
to
work
but
apologize.
AA
It's
it's
not
just
for
our
own
benefit.
Here
that
we're
doing
this,
it's
actually
kind
of
a
hassle.
You
have
to
hire
more
people.
You
have
to
walk
further.
You
have
to
provide
customers
service
out
there,
but,
as
Kalin
said
we're
in
the
hospitality
industry.
This
is
what
our
customers
are
asking
for.
The
survey
that
was
given
out
by
DBI
had
a
thousand
people
respond
to
it,
and
six
over
60
percent
wanted
Kirkwood
closed,
so
I
I.
AA
Don't
think
that
you
guys
are
benefiting
just
the
five
restaurants
that
are
on
the
street
tracks
had
the
best
year
they
had
ever
had
and
sales
greetings
had
the
best
year.
Both
of
those
owners
support
the
closure,
as
people
come
down
to
use
Kirkwood,
they
start
walking
around
last
point.
I
need
to
make
for
the
police
is.
This
is
a
24
7
area,
we're
not
talking
about
the
public
safety
issues
and
by
closing
the
street,
we
are
providing
more
safe
environment
from
10
pm
to
4
a.m.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
AB
To
sterilize
this
Susannah
Quilla
hi,
my
name
is
Sue
Aquila
I
own
a
Bloomington
Bagel
park,
Bloomington
Bagel
Company
and
Dunn
Park
Apartments
I've
watched
the
back
alley
for
26
years.
We
do
not
have
a
problem
with
two
lanes
being
blocked
back
there
ever
and
in
fact,
I've
really
admired
our
supply
companies.
The
alcohol
distribute
distribution.
Companies
they've
really
worked
to
coordinate
how
they
deliver
things,
especially
when
the
road
closure
is
occurring
and
they've
been
very
kind
to
not
park
in
front
of
our
building
when
the
outdoor
seating
is
in
place.
AB
So
people
are
conscious
of
these
areas
and
how
they're
being
used
and
trying
to
not
block
businesses
and
other
community
movement
through
the
area.
The
pandemic's
been
hard
in
retail
because
of
your
commitment
during
the
pandemic.
I
believe
our
retail
thrives
downtown,
so
many
places
lost
so
many
businesses,
because
the
community
was
not
willing
to
commit
to
help
everyone
to
stay
open
and
as
much
as
we
want
to
say,
it's
going
great
we're
still
all
recovering
and
people
still
want
safe
places
to
go.
Recently.
AB
AB
AB
That
last
half
block
that
we're
talking
about
I
really
need
think
we
need
to
think
about
the
downtown
as
a
Boulevard
like
they're
closing
streets
in
Paris
and
other
cities
throughout
the
country
there.
We
have
to
start
thinking
about
that
transition
from
the
University
to
the
downtown
and
it's
unfortunate
we
keep
doing
this
every
year.
This
should
be
a
multi-year
approval,
so
we
can
continue
to
grow,
so
we
can
raise
grant
money
to
turn
it
into
a
Boulevard,
so
we
can
really
make
it
a
vibrant
part
of
this
community.
AB
Please
note
too,
we
have
abundant
parking.
Iu
is
very
generous
and
lets
us
use
all
the
Lots
around
the
BBC
on
the
weekends
it's
open
to
the
public.
Last
year
the
poplar's
parking
wasn't
open
to
the
public
because
the
construction
this
year,
it
is
during
the
weekdays
now
no
problem
game
parking
on
6th
Street
in
the
adjacent
streets
on
the
weekends,
no
problem
getting
parking
in
the
IU
Lots.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
L
A
L
D
D
So,
like
I
mean
I
I
honestly
I
mean
it.
It
pits
two
long
time,
businesses
against
each
other.
D
One
of
them
is
a
restaurant,
or
one
of
them
is
a
non-restaurant
retailer
and
there's
a
lot
of
great
comments
that
have
just
been
made
now
about
what
role
should
Kirkwood
play,
especially
that
block
I
will
say
that
I
have
never
been
supportive
of
IU
closing
7th
Street
even
to
bus
traffic
like
they
did
at
the
auditorium
and
I
would
not
have
favored
IU
closing
Kirkwood,
which
they
did
to
put
the
sample
gates
in
that
connectivity
is
an
important
aspect
of
our
traffic
pattern.
Now.
D
Having
said
that,
a
lot
of
people
know
that
I'm
not
the
biggest
fan
of
cars,
but
you
know
again:
I
have
seen
and
I'm
I
think
it's
really.
The
most
encouraging
thing
that's
happening
right
now
is
that
there
is
this
interesting
Collective
movement
towards
the
idea
of
Kirkwood
as
a
shared
Street
like
I'm
excited
about
that
and
my
biggest
concern
with
it
is.
How
soon
can
we
get
it
done
and
clearly
can't
be
done
in
time
to
address
these
issues?
D
The
next
couple
of
years,
if
we
have
a
shared
Street
and
a
car
can
crawl
through
at
a
few
miles
an
hour,
then
there's
still
access
to
businesses,
but
it
is
truly
a
street
where
everyone
right
down
to
an
adolescent
somebody
pushing
a
stroller
with
an
infant,
feels
no
less
comfortable,
and
that
should
be
the
goal
for
this
street.
That
is
one
of
the
most
important
streets
there
is
but
I'm
particularly
concerned
about
next
year.
D
There
is
no
right-of-way
access
to
that
business
and
I
I
just
anticipate
a
lawsuit,
so
I
I
I
want
to
have
the
discussion
now,
even
though
I'm
not
particularly
enthusiastic
about
it
and
I,
also
want
to
cite
at
some
point
an
additional
bit
of
data.
That
leads
me
to
think
about
this,
which
is
roughly
that
the
restaurants
are
recovering,
but
we
have
another
indicator.
Besides
parking
data
of
restaurant
performance
and
that's
the
food
and
beverage
tax.
The
most
recent
report,
the
January
2023
report,
I,
did
some
math
and
I.
D
Take
the
report
that
the
auditor
issues
and
I
divide
the
number
of
restaurants
that
are
reporting
by
the
total
amount
of
tax
they're
reporting
in
2019.
The
Baseline
figure
for
restaurants
was
824
dollars
per
paid
per
restaurant
per
month
in
2019.
in
in
the
month
of
January.
In
the
month
of
January
2020.
That
number
was
854
was
up
about
4
percent
in
January
2021.
D
In
the
depths
of
the
pandemic,
that
number
dropped
to
734,
which
is
an
11
drop
over
2019.,
but
in
2022
it's
rebounded
and
now
in
20
in
January
2022
it
went
up
to
918
dollars
per
restaurant.
In
January
2022,
that's
an
11
increase
over
2019
and
in
January
2023,
the
most
recent
report.
It's
989
dollars
per
restaurant
or
a
20
increase
over
2019.
D
I've,
looked
at
the
figures
for
July
as
well,
and
they
show
a
similar
increase
in
July
of
2022,
the
average
restaurant
paid
992
dollars
in
tax,
which
was
21
over
2019
levels.
So
what
this
tells
me
is
the
restaurants
are
definitely
recovering.
Now
we
don't
have
data
for
non-restauranteurs,
because
they're
not
being
charged
through
food
and
beverage
tax,
and
it's
reasonable
to
say
that
the
food
and
beverage
tax
itself
is
an
additional
burden
on
restaurants.
Although
it's
its
end
goal
was
another
issue
that
we're
not
going
to
discuss
tonight.
D
The
convention
center
and
the
like,
but
the
the
restaurants,
are
doing
pretty
well
and
this
block
you
know:
Lenny's
has
expressed
their
relative
ambivalence
to
it.
They
would
rather
not
use
parklets,
they
don't
think
it's
worth
their
trouble.
It
is
a
fine
enhancement
to
their
business,
but
you
know
if
it
gives
a
non-restaurant
existential
concern.
D
You
know
I
think
we
need
to
debate
it
so
like
again,
I'm
truly
ambivalent.
This
I'm
putting
it
out
there
because
I
want
to
hear
this
discussion
from
my
colleagues
I'm,
not
even
sure
that
I'll
be
more
than
a
an
abstaining
voter
on
it.
I
just
wanted
to
put
it
forward
and
I
know
that
councilmember
Smith
who
seconded
it
feels
strongly
about
it.
So
with
that
I'm
happy
to
address
questions,
but
I
would
like
to
ask
staff
for
their
reaction
before.
F
F
F
It
seems
like
Lenny's
would
like
it,
but
they
weren't
really
so
wholeheartedly
thinking
that
it
was
that
necessary,
and
then
I
took
me
a
half
hour
to
find
a
parking
spot
when
I
want
to
see
the
bicycle
garage.
Folks,
I
circled
the
block,
I
circled
the
block,
I
circled,
the
block
I,
couldn't
find
any
place.
It
was
during
the
week
during
the
during
the
day
weekday
and
the
alley
was
jammed
up
kind
of
with
two
big
box
trucks.
F
So
in
that
area
it
was
really
challenging
and
so
I
I
feel,
for
you
know
small
business,
the
local
business.
F
So
it
seems
like
this
is
a
good
compromise
that
okay,
so
the
wonderful
businesses
on
the
other
side
of
Kirkwood
that
are
really
doing
well
on
that
I
think
it's
great
love
the
Uptown
and
all
the
things
they
do,
and
so
what
you
know
why?
Don't
we
just
take
that
part
out?
F
The
city
can
work
on
a
shared
Street
or
a
helping
mitigate
the
problem
with
the
the
Alleyway
behind
the
bicycle
garage,
and
you
know
help
the
business
owners
out.
I
have
no
doubt
you
know
they
feel
burdened
by
it.
So
it
seems
like
this
is
kind
of
a
good
halfway.
You
know
compromise
with
everybody.
U
C
U
U
Oh
yes,
can
I
also
add
to
my
answer
to
councilman
veralo
and
in
addition
to
that
to
say
it's
not.
We
were
we
obviously
very
much
care
about
what
the
businesses
of
all
kinds
think,
which
is
why
we
would
like
to
take
this
year
to
do
a
more
comprehensive
study
and
definitely
not
just
retail
or
restaurants,
but
all
businesses
along
the
square
in
Kirkwood.
U
But
in
addition
to
that,
why
we
just
to
shed
some
more
light
on
why
we
recommended
that
block
closure
for
consistency
and
even
if
the
businesses,
not
all
the
business,
partake,
there's
still
the
consistency
that
has
been
that
has
happened
for
the
last
few
years,
as
well
as
its
pedestrians
safe.
So
it's
again
it's
not
just
about
economic
benefits,
but
that
is
one
aspect.
U
So
if
we
we
have
to
consider
all
of
the
measures,
it's
not
just
about
one
business
but
the
or
you
know
is
about
the
whole
of
the
community
and
where
we're
trying
to
go
as
a
community
and
so
more
pedestrian
friendly
places,
a
shared
straight.
These
things
we
need
to
work
towards
and
have
our
community
expect
and
and
again
gather
more
comprehensive
data
that
we've
outlined
to
to
show
that
we
care
and
we
want
to
make
informed
decisions.
U
It's
just
yeah
and
especially
post
covid.
Now
that
we're
out
of
a
public
health
emergency
can't
stress
that
enough.
So
just
wanted
to
fully
answer
the
question
that
it's
it's
a
lot
of
to
do
with
just
the
community
as
a
whole
and
not
just
economics,
and
that
really
does
matter.
I
think
we're
all
seeing
that
post
covet
that
our
quality
of
life
really
matters
and
sustainability.
U
E
L
AA
And
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
back
to
Steve
regarding
your
data,
comparing
the
restaurant
tax.
AA
By
all
means
sure,
please
share
so
between
2019
and
2022
there's
a
substantial
increase
in
raw
Goods
cost
supplies,
labor
and
restaurants.
So
if
you've
been
going
to
restaurants
between
2019
and
today,
you're,
the
cost
of
your
item
has
gone
up
and
I
would
say.
Most
of
the
restaurant
tours
here
would
agree
not
to
also
mention
that,
if
you've
gone
by
any
of
the
fast
food
restaurants
in
town,
they
are
doing
a
bang-up
business
since
2019
and
their
sales
have
skyrocketed,
as
consumers
patterns
have
changed.
Purchasing
patterns
have
changed.
AA
AA
So
if
we
start
carving
up
the
street
and
doing
different
closures,
the
data
that
we're
going
to
have
in
our
study
is
not
going
to
be
accurate.
We're
not
comparing
Apples
to
Apples
and
I
realized
that
this
whole
city
is
dynamic
and
that
area
is
very
Dynamic.
But
it
does
make
it
very
different.
If
you're
going
to
say
this
Street's
going
to
be
closed
from
this
from
this
street
to
the
street
this
year.
But
it
hasn't
been
for
the
last
three
years,
but
then
we're
going
to
study
the
parking
data.
E
V
Topic
downtown
Bloomington,
Inc
I
did
want
to
just
clarify
because
we
did
go
around
and
talk
to
all
the
businesses
in
that
particular
block.
Urban
Outfitters
and
the
underground
t-shirts
were
supportive
and
they're
retailers.
V
Z
Yeah,
my
name
is
Paulie
terracone
yeah
and
I
I'd
like
to
just
Echo
a
lot
of
the
same
sentiments
that
were
said
a
little
bit
earlier,
that
the
lack
of
continuity
with
that
Amendment
feels
a
little
bit
more
obstructive
than
it
does
like
a
compromise.
Z
At
least
from
you
know,
just
my
outside
perspective,
I
recognize
I
haven't
been
as
scrupulously
keeping
track
of
the
requests
of
specific
businesses
on
Kirkwood,
but
I
think
it
would
be
incredibly
confusing
for
people
who
will
use
that
block
not
just
for
drivers
but
for
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
and
all
other
users
of
that
street.
Z
So
that's
that's
just
the
big
thing
is
I
feel
like
it
would
be.
There
would
not
be
continuity
and
it
would
be
more
confusing
and
I
appreciate
the
effort
for
the
compromise,
but
I
I
personally,
don't
believe
that
it's
what's
going
to
be
best
for
Kirkwood.
Thank
you.

I
think

we're
talking
about
is
the

You
know
I
again
the
flow
of
traffic
right
now,
I
think
the
last
couple
years
when
you've
blocked
Kirkwood.
It
has
been
like
a
ghost
town
and
again
I
I'm,
a
bicycle
guy,
but
the
cars
it
just
it's
the
flow
of
traffic.
It
brings
people
downtown,
not
everyone
is
driving
a
car.
But
again
you
see
this
flow
of
people
of
cars
of
people
we're
a
carnation,
so
I
mean
it
is.
AC
It
brings
people
into
the
area,
I
understand,
Sue
and
and
Bob
Costello
about
their
area
and
again
it's
a
restaurant
I'm,
not
a
restaurant
and
and
again
I
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
understands
there's
a
certain
Prejudice.
It
seems
too
that
again
we're
not
a
restaurant
business,
but
at
the
same
time
we're
this
blockage
is,
is
helping
the
restaurants.
AC
It
doesn't
necessarily
help
us.
So
you
know
it's
one
of
those
things.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
understand,
plus
that
back
alley
is
our
north
entrance.
AC
We
have
parking
which
we're
lucky
in
our
back
lot,
but
the
front
is
also
a
drop-off
area,
and
that
is
that's
that's
restricted
and
then,
when
you
have
your
trucks,
I
think
Mr
Smith
talked
about
the
the
box,
trucks
and
everything
else.
That's
pretty
that's
pretty
consistent
behind
our
store,
so
you
know
again
it's
just
the
FL
the
flow
of
traffic
and
we're
just
trying
to
keep
things
open
again.
AC
We're
business
we've
been
there
doing
it
for
43
years,
so
I'd
like
to
be
doing
it
for
a
few
more
years.
I.
Thank
you.
C
Okay,
just
to
clarify
from
staff,
so
I
asked
the
question
about
Lenny's,
not
wanting
parklets,
but
if
they
were
to
want
them,
you
would
accommodate
them.
U
C
Okay,
my
other
question
is
I
mean
in
terms
of
study.
When
could
you
know,
of
course,
if
you're,
if
you
have
the
entire
closure
and
it's
consistent
year
by
year,
you
can
you
can,
and
you
know
you
have
Pandemic
pandemic
years
and
you
have
years
coming
out
of
the
pandemic,
but
you
could
evaluate
block
by
block
you.
Could
you
could
evaluate
things?
It
doesn't
ruin
the
study
it
it
modifies
it,
but
it's
not
like
there's
no
data
to
be
gained
from
it
and
in
fact
maybe
there
is
data
to
be
gained
from
the
500
block.
C
U
My
response
is
not
just
consistency
in
the
data
that
consistency
and
expectation
from
the
public
on
what
roads
are
closed
it
can
get.
It
could
be
possibly
confusing
to
the
traffic
pattern
if
the
rest
of
the
Box
are
closed
and
you're
used
to
that
block
being
closed,
but.
U
I
mean
suddenly
you'll
find
it
closed
and
yeah.
You
know
I'm
just
saying
that
normally
during
this
seasonal
program,
which
the
public
has
come
to
relatively
expect
not
saying
they
should
expect
it
this
year,
because
obviously
we're
deciding
that
tonight,
you
guys
are
deciding
this
tonight,
but
in
the
past
historically
for
consistency.
These
are
the
blocks
that
have
been
closed.
So
so,
when
a
person
thinks
back
a
resident
who's
lived
here
for
the
past
three
years,
things
back
to
this
program.
U
They
know
those
2.5
blocks
have
been
closed
and
that's
it's
up
to
you
guys
to
decide
with
the
amendment,
but
we're
just
giving
our
recommendation
that
it's
not
just
consistency
with
data,
but
just
consistency
with
expectation
and
again
for
those
standards
of
sustainability
and
quality
of
life
that
we
feel
it
brings.
Thank.
G
U
No
so
there's
two
components
to
the
outdoor
dining
program:
one
is
parklets
and
one
is
participating
in
the
closure
and
having
outdoor
dining.
If
there's
a
full
block
closure,
they
will
do
they
will
participate.
If
there's
not
a
full
block
closure,
they
will
not
get
a
parklet.
Is
what
they've
told
us
so.
U
G
J
Yes,
so
to
the
question
of
consistency,
as
was
mentioned
earlier
in
2024,
the
city
of
Bloomington
utilities
plans
to
do
work
on
6th
Street
and
the
alley
to
the
South,
the
East-West
Alley
between
Dunn
and
Indiana,
and
so
I
I
can't
imagine
shutting
off
the
bicycle
garage
from
traffic
completely
next
year.
U
No,
we
couldn't
the
yeah,
unfortunately,
next
year,
if
the,
if
the
utility
is
wrapping
this
year,
we
would
recommend
the
block
being
open
for
sure,
but
because
yes,
they
would
no
one
would
be
able
to
utilize
those
businesses,
then,
with
their
cars
like,
and
we
realized
that
you
know
we
are
trying
to
compromise
and
say
The
Pedestrian
walkways
in
safety.
U
There
is
really
important,
but
they
do
need
some
access
to
vehicles
and
by
cutting
off
both
those
sides
that
that
would
not
work
so
we're
being
realistic
and
so
this
year
that
that's
not
happening
giving
it
another
year.
So
we
could
really
monitor
that
block
and
see.
What's
happening
would
be.
It
would
be
great
because
next
year,
yes,
it
won't
I
mean
depending
I
mean
this
has
all
still
been
there.
But
if
that's
going
to
happen,
the
alley
will
be
blocked.
U
Of
course,
we
wouldn't
suggest
this
because
yeah,
it's
not
going
to
be
ideal
for
them.
So
that's
why
it
is
kind
of
pertinent
that
we
would
love
to
to
be
able
to
see
what
happens
this
year
without
more
data
and
that
consistency
of
the
public
expectation,
because
I
think
it
makes
sense
that
with
the
construction
that
will
be
going
on
behind
there
in
that
alley,
that's
a
different
perception
and
consistency
anyway,
because
that's
a
disruption
already.
U
So
by
having
that
blog
open
it,
you
know
it's
just
already
disrupted
with
construction
work,
utility
work,
so
I
mean
you
know
so,
but
this
year
it
won't
be
so
would
love
to
see
to
be
able
to
again
just
have
them.
Wear
comprehensive
survey
and
data
collection
and
and
again
the
shared
Street,
can't
stress
that
enough.
We
we
really
want
to
get
that
back
on
the
budget,
for
the
conceptual
design
and
again
that
would
alleviate
a
lot
of
these
issues
so
and
it
was
recommended
and
already
studied.
C
Oh
well,
I
think
it's
very
compelling
to
to
support
this
amendment.
I
think
that
it
does
disenfranchise
the
bicycle
garage
in
particular,
and
I
would
like
to
note
that
you
know
Lenny's
has
the
option
of
using
perklets
they
decline.
They
also
have
outdoor
dining
and
so
that
you
know
they
do
have
that
availability.
C
I
think
the
bicycle
garage
owners
have
been
quite
magnanimous
in
the
sense
of
that
this
began
as
a
pilot
to
afford
restaurants
the
ability
to
have
the
separation
that
they
needed
in
order
to
cope
with
the
pandemic
and
it
and
it
helped
in
that
regard,
and
they
didn't
anticipate
that
this
would
continue
for
for
the
foreseeable
future.
Clearly
we're
disenfranchising
them
as
opposed
to
I
suppose,
in
this
case
Lenny's
there
are
the
other
restaurants
don't
take
advantage
of
it.
It
really
is
just
sort
of
pitting
one
business
against
the
other.
C
My
feeling
is,
you
know,
I'm
trending,
very
strongly
towards
supporting
this
amendment.
For
that
reason
curious
to
hear
from
my
colleagues,
of
course
thank
you.
F
I
I
know
that
the
Miss
mottinger
wasn't
here
last
year
for
this
program
and
and
I
recall
asking
for
data
from
the
city
last
year,
and
no
data
was
forthcoming.
So
I'm
I'm
not.
F
You
know
really
wanting
to
I
I'd
like
to
help
the
business
and
we
can
collect
data
and-
and
maybe,
if
we're
going
to
be
able
to
alleviate
the
issues,
then
you
know
offer
them.
You
know
the
idea
that
it'll
come
back
next
year
and
we
can
talking
about
closing
it.
But
then,
if
we're
going
to
have
construction
and
all
so
it's
it's
going
to
be
a
long-term
thing.
F
Where
they're
going
to
be
not
able
to
do
some
of
the
things
they
want
to
do,
and
it's
going
to
obstruct
their
business
for
two
years
at
least
so
so
I'm
still
very
much
in
favor
of
the
amendment
and
yeah
thanks.
H
A
lot
of
the
discussion
is
focused
on
one
business
versus
another
retailers
versus
restaurant
tours,
and
that's
really
not
how
I'm
thinking
about
this
amendment
or
this
resolution
I
think
this
is
about
a
whole
system
and
rethinking
how
we
use
and
value
public
space
and
the
different
users
of
our
public
space.
I.
Think
it's
about
looking
at
our
goals
as
a
city
as
outlined
in
our
adopted
plans
and
and
related
documents
that
we
spend.
You
know
hundreds
of
hours,
developing
co-developing
with
the
community
with
thousands
of
residents
providing
input.
H
So
our
comprehensive
plan,
Transportation
plan
and
climate
action
plan
all
call
for
emphasizing
pedestrian
uses,
especially
and
and
pedestrians,
bicycle
and
Transit
uses
generally
above
automobile
uses,
there's
probably
no
better
place
in
the
city
better
suited
for
that
pedestrian
priority
than
Kirkwood
Avenue
and
the
square
I.
Think
connectivity
of
multiple
blocks
of
non-car
streets
that
are
open
to
everyone
else
in
a
safer
and
more
accessible
environment
is
a
really
important
feature
of
the
of
the
design.
H
H
I
think
this
block
is
is
really
important
because
it
connects
directly
to
the
sample
gates
in
that
expansive
pedestrian
environment
of
the
University
system,
so
that
direct
Avenue
spilling
out
of
the
sample
gates
in
the
University
you
know
and
having
that
continuity
of
a
safe
and
pleasant
public
space
that
is
focused
on
pedestrians,
like
our
plans,
call
for
I
think
is
really
crucial
to
the
whole
project.
H
Additionally,
I
think
you
know
there
isn't
consensus
here
from
the
businesses.
We
just
simply
don't
have
that
and
you're
going
to
disappoint
somebody.
So
I
think
we
have
to
look
at
our
guiding
documents
and
goals
and
plans
as
part
of
the
part
of
the
approach.
I
also,
you
know
challenge
the
notion
generally,
that
parking
in
front
of
your
business
or
car
access
is
inherently
better
for
retailers.
We
heard
from
Miss
Copic,
for
instance,
that
some
of
the
retailers
on
the
street
actually
support
this
closure
and
there's
definitely
economics
research
out
there.
H
That
demonstrates
that
pedestrian
scale,
design,
calm
streets,
two-way
streets
actually
enhance
Economic,
Development,
Across,
all
business
types,
there's
an
old
adage
that
a
former
assistant
director
for
planning
at
Monroe
County
used
to
say,
which
is
that
the
slower,
a
wallet
moves
by
your
business,
the
more
likely
it
is
to
open
so
I
think.
The
idea
that
we're
disenfranchising
someone
here
with
with
the
change
is,
is
sort
of
falling
victim
to
status
quo.
H
Thinking
that
the
status
quo
doesn't
harm
anybody
and
that
a
change
harms
someone
but
I
think
if
we
started
from
a
value
neutral
or
from
just
a
neutral
standpoint
and
asked
what
what
design?
What
approach
is
most
in
line
with
our
goals?
I
think
we
reach
the
conclusion
that
the
proposal
in
the
resolution
is
is
most
in
line
with
our
goals
as
a
city.
H
Finally,
I
think
it
is
important
to
try
to
address
concerns
and
I
think
the
ability
to
mitigate
them
here
with
respect
to
Ali
access
is
adequate.
In
my
mind,
I
think
staff's
been
very
Earnest
in
working
with
businesses
for
multiple
years
on.
All
of
these
they've
been,
you
know,
as
well
as
some
of
the
business
associations
at
downtown,
Bloomington,
Inc
and
Kirkwood
Community
Association.
H
The
alley
to
the
north
of
of
this
block
is
quite
wide,
easily
possible
for
two
cars
to
go
by
or
even
trucks
you
can
access
it
from
the
east
or
the
West
End.
So
it
takes
a
sort
of
an
astounding
Confluence
of
events
to
to
actually
successfully
block
alley
access
there.
So
I
must
think
that's
uncommon.
We
heard
at
least
from
Mr
quilliff
who's
nearby
that
she
doesn't
think
that
really
happens
and
I
would
venture
to
Guess
that
you
know
when
that
is
blocked.
H
At
least
some
of
those
folks
are
nearby
or
in
their
vehicles.
That
could,
you
know,
be
requested
to
move,
but
in
any
case,
I
think
it's
something
we
need
to
continue
to
work
on
continue
to
have
staff.
You
know
work
to
mitigate
those
challenges
such
as
they
exist,
but
I
think
we
have
the
ability
to
do
that.
H
Thanks
to
the
infrastructure
to
the
north
and
we've
confirmed
with
City
Bloomington
utilities
that
they
do
not
plan
to
close
that
alley
in
2023,
so
In,
Sum
I,
think
the
resolution
is
drafted
is
what
moves
us
toward
our
adopted.
City
goals
and
plans
and
I'll
be
supporting
the
resolution
that's
drafted,
which
means
alluding
against
this
amendment.
Thank
you.
P
G
Member
Rosenberg
my
comments
on
this
ordinance
and
this
amendment
are
the
same
as
two
weeks
ago.
So
I
I
honestly,
don't
want
to
repeat
a
lot
tonight
because
it's
10
25
and
we
have
a
lot
to
do
still
for
most
of
the
same
reasons
that
council
member
Flaherty
is
against
plan
on
voting
for
it
I
mean
I'm
voting
against
it.
Thanks.
D
I
haven't
heard
from
everybody,
but
yeah
I'm
curious
with
what
people
think.
E
I'm
not
going
to
be
supporting
this
amendment
and
here's.
My
thinking
staff
have
a
number
of
significant
recommendations
to
make
after
this
year
and
and
one
of
the
themes
we've
heard
in
this
conversation
is
the
degree
to
which
we
are
relying
on
this
year
to
provide
us
with
data.
E
E
We,
if
indeed
the
construction
projects
go
through
in
2024.
Of
course,
it
makes
sense
to
leave
Kirkwood
open.
So
that
would
suggest
to
me
that
this
is
our
window
of
opportunity
to
gather
that
data.
So
we
can
make
good
decisions
going
forward,
so
I
I
am
hearing
enough
of
differences
of
opinion
on
whether
or
not
closure
in
general
is
a
good
idea.
So
again,
I
I,
think
to
council
member
Flaherty's
point.
E
We
may
well
disappoint
someone,
no
matter
what
but
I
think
this
is
a
critical
year
for
gathering
this
information
and
it's
the
window
of
opportunity
in
which
to
do
it
and
so
closing
that
segment
of
Kirkwood
makes
sense
to
me
to
do
so
so
I'll
be
voting
now
on
Amendment
one.
Thank
you,
council,
member
voland
or
council
member
council
member
Smith.
F
Data
is
used
in
aggregate
over
years
to
decide
trends.
We
won't
be
able
to
tell
anything
in
one
year,
hardly
with
the
trend
of
the
data.
It's
not
it's
not
going
to
show
anything
that
we
can
draw
any
conclusions
from
because
it's
a
one-year
shot
so
I
can't
use
data.
A
collection
of
one-year
to
make
me
think
that
it's
going
to
give
us
much
information
to
make
a
long-term
decision
on
it,
so
I
so
I'm
still
going
to
support
the
amendment.
F
D
I'll
go
like
I,
I
took
Mr
holohan's
Mr
Carmen's
concerns
seriously,
I,
don't
agree
with
all
their
arguments,
but
you
know
there.
We
do
have
to
ask
the
question:
who
has
access
to
the
right-of-way?
It's
a
public
good,
the
city
used
to
have
a
resident,
only
Reserve
parking
program.
You
could
reserve
a
spot
in
front
of
your
house.
It
resulted
in
lots
of
fights,
I
know
anybody
who
was
serving
on
this
Council
in
the
previous
term.
D
Remember
some
of
the
Absurd
debates
we
had
in
Council
over
a
single
parking
space,
but
we
eventually
eliminated
the
program
because
it's
supposed
to
be
shared
space
well
here
now.
What
we're
talking
about
is
reserving
the
space
to
we're
limiting
access
to
the
space.
It's
not
a
complete
shutdown
of
the
right-of-way.
We
do
that
all
the
time
when
we
build
once
we
somebody
builds
a
building,
we'll
close
off
a
block
in
order
for
construction
to
happen,
but
it's
theoretically
temporary
The,
Big
Dig
and
that
sort
of
thing
was
very
difficult.
D
But
here
now
we're
in
we're
turning
the
right
of
way
into
more
directly
a
Marketplace
and
so
like
I
think
it
was
worth
this.
This
conversation
to
talk
about
well,
who
should
have
access
to
it,
are
the
people
who
are
colonizing
the
right
of
way
with
their
business,
contributing
to
the
community
to
the
same,
in
the
same
way
that
people
who
were
using
the
right
of
way
before
that
to
park
and
store
their
vehicles,
you
know,
are
we
charging
enough?
Are
they
paying
enough?
How
else
should
we
regulate
access
to
the
public
space?
D
Because
we
make
no
mistake?
We
have
no
choice
but
to
charge
for
it.
The
big
problem
with
anybody
talking
about
parking
is
that
that's
not
what
they're
talking
about
they're
talking
about
convenient,
on-street
parking,
there's
on-street
parking
is
the
most
convenient
parking
there
is,
and
so
anybody
who's
demanding
parking
is
really
demanding
convenient
parking.
Well,
you
could,
it
can
be
cheap
or
it
can
be
convenient,
but
it
can't
be
both
the
only
way.
D
The
only
effective
way
we
found
to
regulate
it
has
been
metering
it
and
those
meter
rates
have
not
gone
up
since
day.
One
August
2013,
we
put
the
meters
in
we've,
been
charging
a
dollar
an
hour.
We
haven't
lowered
the
cost
in
blocks
where
there's
no
demand.
We
haven't
raised
the
costs
on
blocks
like
these,
where
there's
a
tremendous
demand,
and
so
we
still
have
the
same
problem.
D
We
we
definitely
need
to
revisit
parking
prices,
at
least
in
this
area,
especially
if
we've
closed
off
some
spots,
making
the
other
spaces
around
them
more
in
demand.
If
we
worry
about
that
price
going
up
because
of
the
disabled,
you
know
we
strongly
incentivize
the
Able
Body
to
gain
the
system.
D
If
we
say
we're,
leaving
this
block
open
in
the
name
of
the
disabled
and
handicapped
parking,
the
better
way
to
handle
that
is
to
subsidize
access
to
the
right-of-way
by
those
who
can't
easily
access
the
the
systems
that
we
set
up
to
use
the
right
of
way.
We
can
reimburse
them
through
parkmobile,
but
then
we
have
to
set
the
rates
where
the
demand
is,
and
the
demand
is
huge,
but
they're
right
away
is
supposed
to
be
shareable
and
that's
why
I'm
looking
for
I'm
excited
about
a
shared
Street,
I?
D
Don't
I
I,
don't
Define
the
word
Boulevard
the
way
one
commenter
said
a
Boulevard
is
a
shared
Street.
It
allows
all
forms
of
chances
go
through,
but
it
very
strongly
regulates
the
way
that
the
high-speed
traffic
can
go
through
it.
You
know
it
was
an
original
idea
of
a
shared
Street.
It
favors
low
speed,
travel,
so
parking
data
is
just
useful
because
it
tells
us
not
just
what
the
market
is,
but
that
there
is
a
market.
This
is
a
Marketplace.
D
The
right
of
way
is
worth
something
ask
any
food
truck
owner.
They
can
put
a
value
on
parking
in
that
spot.
Ask
the
the
member
this
was
nine
years
ago
we
had
the
debate
over
food
trucks,
whether
they
shouldn't
be
allowed,
but
we're
we've
moved
along
quite
a
bit
since
then
we're
asking
the
question:
what's
the
market
going
to
bear
the
whole
downtown
is
a
Marketplace
and
we
have
to
we're
we're
being
asked
to
to
fine-tune
it,
and
this
is
the
fine
tuning.
D
It
sounds
like
there's
not
enough
support
tonight
for
this
amendment.
I
again
am
ambivalent
about
it.
I
did
it
because
I
I
supported
it,
because
this
is
District
Six,
and
this
is
a
a
big
existential
question
for
everyone.
Downtown
I
I.
Don't
think
that
my
position
has
been
swayed
I'm
still
I'm,
so
ambivalent
about
it.
D
I'm
going
to
abstain,
I
just
wanted
to
explain
why
I'm
abstaining
now
and
it's
because
you
know
I
I
get
the
constraints
that
we're
operating
under
I
do
think
it's
incumbent
about
the
administration
to
build
a
shared
Street.
There
ASAP,
like
everything
that
people
are
saying
mean.
That's
said
tonight,
says
that
we
we
need
that
plan
ASAP,
but
for
now
I
think.
The
upshot
of
my
abstention
will
be
that
the
block
will
stay
closed,
but
I
still
think
that
the
conversation
was
worth
it
and
I
appreciate
everyone's
time.
J
Yes,
I
appreciate
all
the
comments
from
my
colleagues.
This
is
I
was
kind
of
going
back
and
forth
my
mind
about
this,
but
really
what
resonated
the
most
with
me
is
something
that
council
member
Flaherty
said,
and
that
is
that
we're
not
going
to
please
everybody
I
mean
there's
no
consensus
here.
J
There's
from
what
I've
heard
you
know,
half
the
businesses
want
to
close
half
the
businesses,
want
it
open,
I,
patronize,
all
those
businesses,
so
I,
don't
have
a
favorite
I
think
that,
in
the
absence
of
consensus,
I
think
we
do
look
to
our
plans.
J
As
council
member
Flaherty
said
our
plans,
such
as
the
comprehensive
plan,
the
climate
action
plan,
the
transportation
plan,
all
of
which
emphasize
making
it
more
comfortable
to
walk
and
to
ride
a
bike,
and
those
would
then
point
to
including
this
block
in
the
street
closure
of
Kirkwood,
so
I'm
going
to
vote
against
the
amendment.
Thank
you.
C
Yes,
just
in
response
to
councilmember
Flaherty
and
councilmember
Peterman
Smith,
my
understanding
is
that
permanent
Kirkwood
closure
was
never
part
of
her
plans.
I
complete
streets,
shared
streets
is
but
not
permanent
closure
of
Kirkwood.
C
If
the
intent
was
to
permanently
close
Kirkwood,
then
the
affected
businesses
should
have
been
notified
of
that
at
the
beginning
of
this
process.
That
was
not
the
case.
It
was
advertised
that
this
was
a
temporary
need
to
adapt
to
the
pandemic,
and
this
is
essentially
benefiting
one
business
at
the
expense
of
another.
That's
the
reality
of
this.
Of
this
decision,
I
mean
the
effect
in
businesses
has
been
the
majority
of
our
deliberations
this
evening
discussions.
C
So
we
are
closing
the
right-of-way
for
accessibility
of
vehicles
that
is
going
to
benefit
one
business
quite
a
bit
and
at
the
expense
of
another
across
the
street.
That's
that's
what
we're
doing
so
I'll
be
supporting
this.
Thank
you.
H
In
response
to
some
things
that
councilman
Morello
and
bowling
both
kind
of
their
framing
of
closing
access
to
vehicles,
but
when
roads
are
open
to
car
traffic
they're
effectively
close
to
everyone
else,
that's
just
like
the
norm,
so
it's
not
like
everybody
has
access
now
and
then
Vehicles
won't
like
overwhelmingly.
The
amount
of
space
in
our
streets
is
dedicated
solely
to
cars
with
sidewalks.
If
they
exist
at
all.
You
know
three
to
five
feet
wide
or
maybe
a
little
wider
in
Kirkwood,
but
I
kind
of
reject
the
notion
that
were
removing
access.
C
Wasn't
I
was
saying:
shared
streets
should
bear
a
goal
and
I
think
was
their
goal.
Kirkwood
is
accessible
to
pedestrians
and
bicyclists,
but
not
Vehicles
apparently
go
ahead.
D
E
E
It
so
yeah,
okay,
so
we've
had
public
coming
in
2304.
Are
there
additional
questions
or
final
comments
on
2304.
D
We
say
on
behalf
of
the
data
that
it
is
useful,
I
agree
that
it
did
not
come
in
a
timely
manner.
We
did
the
best
we
could.
The
data
for
the
past
four
years
wasn't
even
available
to
us
until
last
week,
so
it
you
know
it
was
enough
I
think,
to
persuade
me
and
ESD
staff
that
there's
not
a
catastrophe
happening
as
a
result
of
our
efforts
to
keep
the
marketplace
going
downtown
the
all
the
numbers
are
encouraging.
D
I
I
mean
what
I
see
from
the
data
and
again
it
wasn't
it.
We
threw
it
together,
but
it
says
that
we're
doing.
Okay,
there's
nothing
to
panic
about.
We
need
to
keep
building,
but
the
the
the
collective
efforts
of
the
administration
and
the
the
merchants
associations
I
think
is
keeping
the
downtown
relatively
thriving.
D
It
doesn't
mean
that
we
can't
do
better
I'm
encouraged
by
the
constant
upward
growth,
but
I
also
know
that
expenses
are
up
too
so
I
do
want
everyone
to
think
hard
about.
I
mean
it
will
be
10
years
in
August,
since
we
ever
adjusted
parking
rates.
D
No
one
is
parking
in
front
of
the
convention
center.
We
should
be
charging
25
cents
an
hour
there,
but
lots
of
people
are
parking
on
the
blocks
that
are
on
the
corner
of
Kirkwood
and
Dunn.
Even
in
winter,
it's
the
the
top
demand
site
in
town.
We
should
be
thinking
about
charging
more
there
just
if,
for
no
other
reason
to
regulate
the
demand
for
parking
that
people
otherwise
see
as
so
convenient
that
that's
the
only
parking
they
want
to
use,
they
don't
want
to
walk
two
blocks.
D
I
would
challenge
anyone
who
says
that
College
Mall
is
somehow
you
know
more
optimal.
You
walk
farther
to
shop
at
College
Mall
than
you
ever
do
to
park
downtown.
So
I
don't
buy
that
argument
at
all
that
we
shouldn't
regulate
parking
more
extensively
than
we
already
do,
but
it's
all
in
service
of
the
marketplace
so
I.
Just
that's
a
parting
thought,
I'm,
supportive
of
the
program.
Thank
you.
H
Thoughts
first
I
could
appraise
for
staff
and
for
the
business
associations
that
work
so
diligently
on
all
this
and
all
the
businesses
and
residents
who've
been
engaged.
I've
been
very
impressed
for
several
years
now
with
staff's
approach
to
this
and
really
working
to
address
as
many
issues
as
possible
and
moving
forward
with
some
of
our
goals
and
City
plans.
Second,
is
that
some
praise
to
the
orbit
room
for
building
a
deck
in
their
space
for
sure
and
I
I
find
sympathy
with
them.
H
Sue
aquila's
point
about
you
know
a
multi-year
approval
process
or
for
the
parklets
possibly
year
round
I,
you
know
have
sort
of
complained:
I
guess
to
ESD
staff
some
over
the
years,
starting
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
because
I'd
be
traveling
in
various
places
now
and
then
and
see
parklets.
Just
done
really
really
well,
you
know
with
pergolas,
and
you
know,
flowers
and
Planters,
and
it's
like
we're
just
stuck
with
these
orange
barriers,
and
it
was
the
it's
the
uncertainty.
H
You
know
you
need
that
continuity.
You
need
that
that
willingness
to
invest,
maybe
even
some
assistance,
like
maybe
some
you
know,
parking
lot
parking
space
sized
deck
like
plans
to
be
thrown
together
quickly,
right
or
rented.
So
I
really
look
forward
to
more
continuity.
To
allow
that
certainty
that
allows
investment
to
make
the
spaces
even
better
just
wanted
to
say
that
and
then
finally
just
excited
to
support
this
resolution
and
some
taking
some
steps
forward
towards
some
of
our
city
goals.
Thanks.
E
Okay,
thank
you
to
my
co
to
staff
for
their
hard
work,
especially
in
terms
of
efforts
to
respond
to
the
specific
concerns
we've
had.
So
thank
you
for
wrestling
with
that
and
to
my
colleagues
as
well
for
the
very
helpful
discussion
tonight.
I
am
supportive
of
the
Kirkwood
closure.
E
E
Just
they
just
do,
and
I
have
seen
enough
cities
do
them
well
and
incorporate
art
and
incorporate
something
other
than
orange
and
white
stripe
barriers
that
I
think
they
certainly
have
potential,
but
in
their
current
form,
I
think
they
actually
detract
from
a
lot
of
our
efforts
to
beautify
the
downtown
and
to
include
public
art
and
to
create
the
kind
of
vibe
that
we've
been
discussing.
So
I
would
especially
challenge
us
this
year
to
find
alternatives
to
to
improve
how
we
do
parklets.
E
So
with
that
I
very
much
look
forward
to
hearing
what
kind
of
data
you
gather
this
year,
I
think
this
is
this:
is
our
post
pandemic
year?
This
is
year
we
don't
get
to
use
the
pandemic
anymore,
so
I
look
forward
to
hearing
the
data
that
you
gather
and
I'll
be
glad
to
support
this.
So
thank
you
anything
else.
If
not
Madam
clerk,
will
you
please
call
the
roll
on
resolution
23-04.
B
E
E
Yes
and
that
passes
7-0.
Thank
you
very
much
everyone
so
moving
forward.
We
have
no
legislation
for
first
readings
this
evening.
That
brings
us
to
our
second
period
of
public
comment
for
items
not
on
the
agenda
this
evening.
Is
there
anyone
Mr
Lucas?
If
you
could,
please
extend
our
invitation
on
zoom
and
is
there
anyone
in
Chambers
who
would
like
to
offer
public
comment
for
items
not
on
the
agenda.
L
E
L
Yes,
just
to
note
that
the
council
had
no
legislation
for
first
reading
tonight.
However,
next
week
there
are
three
reports
that
the
administration
is
planning
to
provide
and
no
particular
order.
Those
will
include
a
report
on
scooter
parking
and
enforcement,
a
scooter
parking
and
enforcement
pilot
program,
an
update
on
sidewalk
and
Paving
data
from
Public
Works
and
report
from
utilities
and
public
works
on
the
location
changes
in
the
works
for
those
two
departments,
so
I'm
assuming
we
will
go
ahead
with
next
week's
meeting
and
those
reports.
As
was
noted
tonight
after
next
week.
