A
A
Right,
no,
there's
no
need
for
a
roll
call
vote.
B
Hi
everyone
alex
crowley
director
of
economic,
sustainable
development.
B
Less
than
adept
at
strong
audio,
so
I
will,
if
you
can't
hear
me
at
any.
B
Point
just
put
your
hand
up
and
I'll
try
to
repeat
myself.
So
what
we're
gonna
do
tonight.
B
Of
the
grant
that
we
are
working
collaboratively.
B
Together
to
complete
this
week,
an
issue.
B
How
we
are
addressing
the
the
grant
and
the
concept
that
we're
proposing.
B
We're
doing
it
in
part
to
keep
you
informed
as
to
what
we're
doing.
B
Support
from
this
committee
to
to
insert
into
the
into
the
grant.
B
Part
of
the
q
a
process
after
our
brief
presentations.
B
And
I
have
a
very
brief
presentation:
I'll
take
you
through.
B
High
level
about
what
what
this
grant
is
and
then
jen
will.
B
Take
you
through
what
we're
proposing
to
submit
fourth
grade.
So
let
me.
B
B
It
works
hand
in
hand
with
the
local
economic
development
partners.
B
So
the
cares
act
provided
1.5
million
dollars.
B
Coronavirus
the
eda's
determined
that
an
economic
injury.
B
Is
mostly
because
it's
it's
a
very,
very
competitive.
B
Process-
and
so
you
know
to
some
extent,
this
is
a.
B
Through
but
but
this
is
going
to
be
applied.
B
B
Here
you
know
everything
from
capitalizing.
B
Of
revolving
loans,
access
to
small
capital
for
small.
B
The
20
local
match,
together
total
the
total
project
costs
we'll
take.
B
You
through
some
of
those
numbers
for
our
situation,
so
it's
a
very,
very
appealing
grant.
B
The
eda
match
scenarios
tend
to
be
about
50
50.
B
Seds
or
an
equivalent
document,
that
is
a
document
that
we
have.
B
Put
together,
we
being
bedc
in
the
city
and
a.
B
With
an
evaluation
framework
and
measurement
approach
for
how.
B
Of
the
community,
I
should
note
that
the
sed's
equivalent
document-
that's.
B
Leveraged
many
many
plans
that
have
already.
B
Build
it
so
it's
not
coming
out
of
the
blue,
it's
well
researched
and
it
it
reflects.
B
In
our
opinion,
the
foundation
of
what
we
want
to
build
here
in
bloomington.
B
So
you
know,
basically
what
we
are
trying
to
align
with
is.
B
You
know
what
the
what
the
grants
are
looking
for,
and
you
know
we
need.
B
B
Proposal
may
be
pretty
competitive.
Having
said.
B
That
and
really
to
manage
expectations.
B
Absolutely
worth
doing,
particularly
given
the
percentage
of.
C
Document
for
responding
to
the
early
pandemic.
C
And
so
just
hats
off
to
all
of
our
partners
at
the
city
as
well.
C
As
the
many
others
that
have
been
working
on
this,
because
eda
has
a
competitive
process
and
they
want
to
make
sure
things
are.
C
Well
thought
through
it
is
pretty
rigorous,
so
I
am
going.
C
Percent
it
skyrocketed
up
to
10.3.
C
Someone
has
an
initial
filing
and
then
they
re-up
it.
C
Towards
life
sciences,
this
is
sort
of
the
next
step
in
that
iteration,
as
we.
C
Try
to
diversify
options
for
our
community
now,
when
we.
C
Say
why
do
we?
Why
do
we
want
to
build
a
technology
center
in
the
trades
district?
This
actually
ties
to
a
great
deal
of.
C
So
alex
mentioned
the
battelle
study,
which
was.
C
C
Economy
and
then
overall,
if
we
talk
about
the.
C
The
final
section
of
or
bucket
of
support-
I
guess
you
would
say-
would
be.
C
Signed
on
both
through
the
board
for
this
nonprofit
entity,.
B
Is
an
rdc,
tiff,
funded
line
so.
B
Be
self-sufficient
within
a
handful
of
years
that
the.
B
Would
be
a
either
a
letter
of
support
or
some
other
indication.
B
That
you,
you
know,
support
broadly
the
objective
of
of
the
project
and.
B
That
sort
of
round
out
the
sort
of
public
support
message.
B
The
grant
right
now
is
going
to
be
somewhere
in
the.
B
9.1
million
dollars,
meaning
that
roughly
seven
point.
B
If,
if
granted
and
just
shy
of
2
million.
B
Would
be
funded
by
tiff?
What
will
you
do
if
the
grant
doesn't.
B
B
B
Grant
what
you
hope
to
get
out
of
the
process
is
better
alignment,
better
clarity
on
what
the
need
is.
B
The
grant
has
been
helpful
in
its
own
right.
B
Credit,
you
know
all
of
that
is
really
really
helpful
for
us,
regardless
of
the
outcome,
if
we
don't.
B
One
one
is
that
you
know
the
the
the
possibility.
B
Of
of
the
private
sector,
seeing
the
value
of
this
and
building
it.
B
Is
you
know,
there's
always
a
possibility
of
private
sector
involvement?
You
know
it
would
be
a.
B
Might
be
able
to
be
delivered
in
in
another
way,
and
and
we
haven't.
B
Deliver
some
parts
of
this
that
are
needed
and,
while
not
delivering
the
entirety
of
the
project
as
conceived.
D
In
other
words,
the
the
trades
district
tech.
B
Yes,
that's
that
that
non-profits
have
actually
already
been.
B
And
some
of
the
strategies
that
that
you
know
to
the
extent
we
could.
E
In
the
next
day
or
two,
I
think
you
said
in
advance
of.
E
E
To
the
extent
I
can
what
what
I
think
you
mentioned,
that
the
idea.
E
Would
be
for
the
operation
of
the
facility
to.
E
Become
self-sustaining
within
three
years,
can
you,
I
guess.
E
I'm
wondering
about
long-term
kind
of
commitment,
so
if,
if
we
get
the
grant.
B
And
a
grant,
an
eda
grant
has
a
fairly
long.
B
So
that's
one:
there
is
there's
going
to
be
personnel.
B
Involvement
in
it
not
only
during
the
early
stages,
the.
B
Case
that
will
that
will
be
required
from
the
city.
B
The
mill
to
be
able
to
to
help
that
get
off
the
ground,
so
there's
a
certain
amount
of
in-kind.
You
know
support
that
the
city
would.
B
Put
forward
for
that
and
then
and
then
should.
B
B
But
if
there's
a
gap,
then
the
city
would
come
back
to
you
as
part
of
the.
B
Through
its
period,
okay,
if
I
could
follow
up
a
little
bit
on
that
thread,.
E
Still,
if
that's
all
right
with
you
chairs,
kimberly.
E
Thank
you,
that's
helpful,
and,
and
of
course
you
know,
an
80
20
match
is.
E
Feasibility
study
and
kind
of,
like
once
the
building's.
E
Built
do
we
have
a
a
sense
of
scale
still
like,
let's
say.
E
There
are
revenue
gaps,
you
know,
and
it's
not
going
quite
as
well
as
we'd.
E
Like
what
like,
what
type
of
money
are
we
talking.
E
More
negative
scenarios:
just
what
are
our
liabilities?
Well,
so
the
I
and
I'll
look
up
the.
B
Projections,
conservative,
but
but
detailed
projections.
B
Of
vacancy,
what
are
the
operating
costs
of
the
building.
B
The
building
you
know
what
are
the:
what
are
the
potential
revenues
of.
B
B
Our
model
built,
you
know,
bakes
in
for
the
first.
B
Any
revenue
that
the
eda
wouldn't
accept
as
part
of
the
model,
so
it.
B
Doesn't
include
event,
revenue
doesn't
include,
you
know
sponsorships
and
that
sort
of
thing,
because
those
have
not
been
committed
to
date.
So
you
know
so
if,
if
things
go.
B
Terribly
wrong,
it
could
be
higher
than
that,
and
so
you
know
I
mean
it
sort
of
depends
on
how
wrong
you
want
me
to.
B
Of
spaces
around
the
state
that
we
that
we
did
at
the
time
we
were.
B
Building
out
the
economics
for
the
mill
you
you
see
that
that's
a
normal,
you
know
the
defense
revenues
and.
B
C
Cautious,
the
reason
that
they
ask
for
budget
projections
is
they
want
to
make.
C
C
Show
financial
capability
and
sort
of
different
line
items
so.
A
If
I
could
ask
you,
madam
chair,
what
are
we.
F
Needing
to
do
this
evening,
at
least
this
committee,
I
think
I
heard
some.
F
Conversation
earlier
that
it
might
be
possible
to
just
have
a
letter
go
out.
D
The
letter
but
yeah
it
doesn't
require.
B
A
I
know
go
ahead,
okay,
don't
we
already
have
the
equivalent
of.
B
The
ctp
master
plan
looked
around
and
said
what
was
needed,
and
this
is
what.
B
Strategies
this
project
that
we're
in
this
concept
that
we're
developing-
but
it's
really
a
regional.
B
You
know
strategy,
so
it's
not.
You
know
it's
not.
B
Very
geographically
limited,
like
some
of
the
some
of
the
other.
D
My
first
question
on
this
topic
is:
how
is
tech
as
in
high
tech
really
a.
C
Employment
in
our
area,
let
me
just
pull
up.
C
Some
numbers
for
reference
here
or
life
sciences,
for
example,.
C
So
our
we
have
about
68
000
people
who
are
employed
in
monroe
county.
C
Hospitality
7
800
health
care
and
social
assistance,
9
000.
G
Correct
my
final
question
on
this
topic:.
D
Is
what
effort
is
there
in
this
application
to
diversify
those.
D
D
Color,
you
know,
is
what
what
does.
C
Roi
the
regional
opportunity
initiatives
they
have
been
working
on.
C
And
so
the
in
terms
of
the
partners
that
we
have
at
the
table
and.
C
That
the
city
of
bloomington
has
committed
to
as
well
those
are
included
under
the
umbrella
of
the
concept.
E
Thank
you
so
has
the
rdc
already
looked
at
this
or
committed.
E
Or
does
that
that
happened
two
hours
ago,
okay,
and
they
said
yes,
they
said
yes.
E
Can
I
ask
what
the
vote
was
unanimous?
Okay
and.
E
Let's
see
so
the
this,
this
property
is
owned
by
the
city.
Right
now
is
that.
E
Right,
the
the
the
redevelopment
commission.
E
Redevelopment
commission
right
and
would
they
continue
to
own
both.
E
The
property
and
the
building,
if,
if
this
grant
is
awarded
and.
E
The
project
has
goes
forward
yeah
if,
if.
B
If
built
the
the
land
and
the
building
would
ret
would
remain
with
the.
B
Redevelopment
commission
and
but
would
be
managed
by.
E
Yes,
okay!
I
have
another
question,
but
I
can
stop.
E
Yeah,
just
thinking
a
little
bit
more
about
the
the
case
and
I'm
sure
this.
E
In
the
supporting
materials
but
trying
to
think
of
of
where
exactly.
E
Thinking
of
three
potentials
and
and
maybe
it's
a.
E
Combination
of
these,
or
maybe
I'm
missing
something
so
the
three
categories
I
kind
of
identified
were
I
mean
some
of
these
were
mentioned.
E
Existing
tech
companies
that
are
in
our
city
or
region
now.
E
Relocating
their
space
to
be
in
kind
of
a
hub.
E
Talked
about,
and
the
third
would
be
you
know
the
potential
for
existing
firms
to
move
here
from.
E
Outside
our
region,
whether
it's
a
you
know,
a
branch.
E
Or
the
you
know,
headquarters
of
the
company
itself.
E
Have
a
rough
idea
of
like
what
kind
of
breakdown
we're
expecting
to
see?
I
guess
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
it
feels
like.
E
B
B
Build
company,
nor
is
it
in
the
mill
right
now.
B
Option
jen,
I
don't
know
if
there's
anybody
else,
that.
C
Yeah,
I
agree
with
you
and
one
that
I
would
add.
C
And
so
as
part
of
the
feasibility
study,
we.
B
Which,
by
the
way,
is
a
good
movie,
is
you
know
the
the
the
role
of
the.
B
To
project
that
a
facility
like
this
would
be
successful
based
on
you
know,.
B
C
With
a
local
property
appraisal,
firm
that
dug
into
office
spaces
right.
E
And
just
final
question:
if
there's
any
related
to
that,
if,
if
there's
any.
E
Rough
sense
of
of
yeah
kind
of
percentage
breakdowns
among
the.
E
Different
categories
we
talked
about,
do
we
feel
like
existing.
C
Meetings,
you
know
we
had
a
couple.
Tech
companies
in
the
interview
say
we're
good
with
working
remote,
but
we.
C
And
so
you
would
have
tenants
and
non-tenant
tech.
A
Other
question:
council
member
holland:
yes,
when
was
the
material
for
this.
A
Just
today,
just
earlier
today,
okay,
this
is
a
quick
tip.
You're
right
I
mean.
A
I
would
actually
before
answering
that
question.
I
would
actually
ask
mr.
A
Crowley,
what
exactly
are
the
elements
of
a.
B
What
this,
what
it
says
is
that
the
city.
B
And
bedc
are
both
capable
of
doing
this
that
the
community.
B
And
that's,
you
know
and
that's
sort
of
it
right.
B
It's
really
a
way
to
validate
that.
You
know
it's
not
a
bunch
of
yahoos.
B
Doing
this
from
the
from
the
you
know,
grant
management.
B
Perspective
and
that,
broadly
speaking,
a
project.
B
Like
this
would
benefit
the
community.
D
Notice,
having
said
that,
I
I
find.
D
I
am
probably
I
see
myself
supporting
it.
F
Letter
of
endorsement,
which
you
know
many
grants
need-
and
we
are
a
committee.
A
See
him,
please
sure
I
feel
I
see
I
see.
E
Both
of
my
colleagues
arguments
and
points-
and
I
think
they're,
samaritan
and.
E
I
probably
lean
a
little
bit
on
the
side
of
what
what
councilmember
roland.
E
Said
simply
for
the
fact
of
yeah
wanting
to
I
mean
I
don't
feel
like.
E
E
Or
the
next
day,
perhaps
the
latest.
But
I
think
without
seeing
a
letter
of.
E
Review
review
things
in
the
materials
I.
E
Would
feel
uncomfortable
voting
in
favor
of
a
letter.
E
E
Well,
have
been,
are
well
conceived
and
have
have
a
high.
E
More
time
to
review-
and
I
guess
I'm
thinking
of
long-term.
E
Liabilities
too,
which
is
why
I
asked
about
them,
and
I
don't
think
that
they're
overwhelming
I
I.
E
Even
so,
if,
if
we're
kind
of
creating,
I
understand
this,
isn't
the
council's.
E
Decision,
of
course,
it's
it's
other
people
beyond
beyond
this
zoom.
E
Call
are
gonna,
make
decisions
about
whether
we
get
awarded
the
funding
or
not,
but
it
is
a
commitment
sort
of
a
binding
mechanism.
E
To
a
future
path-
and
I
think
and
it
will
have
implications
on
budget.
E
Tomorrow
evening,
for
instance,
if
that's
not
problematic,.
E
For
for
the
application,
so
I
guess
I'd
be
curious
to
hear.
B
B
Understand
that
it
was
a
lot
to
throw
at
you-
and
you
know
that
you
know
point
taken
on
that.
B
From
the
perspective
of
timing,
you
know,
I
think,
realistically,
we.
B
Your
support,
and
you
know,
would
would
would
love
to
slot
that
in.
B
Without
it
great
mr
crowley,
mr
lucas,
I'm
going.
A
A
Willing
to
sign
off
tonight
what
is
our
from
your
perspective?
What's.
A
H
In
the
past
has
has
approved
letters
of
support
or
or.
H
The
committee
could
sign
off.
H
A
Council
members,
in
their
role
as
individual
council
members
at
their
signature.
Yes,
although
I'd
caution.
D
And
the
standard
by
which
we
do
business
is
two
business
days.
D
Comfortable
voting,
but
no
earlier
than
that
time,
if
that
would
make
a
difference,
everybody.
D
We
could
do
that
way,
but
otherwise
you
know
we've
received
budget.
D
But
I
think
that's
the
appropriate
thing.
Let
me
ask
a
question,
then:
let's
go.
A
To
council
member
sandberg
after
that,
mr
crowley
would
a
letter
of
support.
B
On
the
concern
that
as
time
goes
on,
that
works
against
us,
so
we
would
you.
B
Know
we
would
prefer
to
be
able
to
do
it
sooner
than.
A
Sandberg,
responding
to
council
member
vol.
H
Suggestion
that
the
committee
meet
on
wednesday
at
four,
as
he
just
noted,
we
have
to
have
48
hours
notice.
D
Very
much
bothers
me:
48
hours
is
not
too
much
to
ask.
F
Our
ability
to
notice
could
we
meet
sometime
tomorrow
after.
E
Reconvene
for
a
brief
time,
I
understand
it's
just
not.
E
People
have
pointed
out,
we
are
not
the
one
ones
committing
the
funds
for
the
match.
There
are
a
lot
larger.
E
Consider
it
then,
especially
if
we
had
a
draft
letter
in
hand
from
that
that.
I
But
from
just
a
project
management
perspective.
I
By
the
end
of
the
day
tomorrow,
and
we
do
have
some
sample
letters
from
other.
I
Several
examples
that
I'd
be
happy
to
provide
to
chair
women's
gambler.
If
that's
helpful,.
B
To
be
able
to
make
sure
that
we
have
everything
in
order
and
going
out
the
door,
so
that's
why
I'm
I'm
suggesting
that
the
sooner
we
can
we
can
do
it
the
better.
From
our
perspective,
we
we
are
hoping
to
get
this
grant
out
the
door.
B
On
wednesday
and
and
you
know
that
that's
been
our
deadline
and
again
we
move
that
up
to
try
to.
A
Council,
member
flaherty,
my
other
thought,
was
if
we
voted
on.
E
Voting
requirement,
I
guess
I
don't
know,
I'm
just
thinking.
E
Out
loud,
I
feel
like
I
would
want
to
reserve
my
right
not
to
sign
if
I,
if
I
again,
if
I
reviewed
a
little
more.
D
It
off,
but
I
am
accustomed
to
this
from.
D
Always
have
to
do
it
now
and
I'm
asking
for
two
business
days.
D
And
I
I
see
that
there
is
a
likely
majority
for
it
if
this
committee
waits
till
wednesday
at
four
o'clock.
I
am
likely
to
vote
yes
before
that.
I.
D
Again,
what
mr
sherman
taught
us
many
many
years
on
council
was:
it
should.
A
So,
council,
member
flaherty-
I
I
guess
I'm
uncomfortable
voting.
E
Right
now,
I
I
in
particular
the
second
point
that
councilmember
vollen
just
made.
I
I
would
want
to
see
something
in.
E
And
therefore
be
more
comfortable,
I
don't
take
council
member
bologna's.
E
Appreciate
the
administration's
efforts-
and
this
is.
E
A
this
is
a
rapidly
you
know,
not
evolving,
but
but
a
very.
E
Short
timeline
that
they're
working
with
so
trying
to
be
accommodating.
I
I
would
be
willing
and
happy
to
to
vote
on
a
letter.
F
Those
times
are
fine
with
me.
I
could
meet.
E
Anytime,
after
three,
four
or
four
thirty
would
be,
that
would
be
better.
E
Or
five
you
know
whatever
yeah
I
five
o'clock
and
I
start
bumping
into.
A
To
spend
some
time
with
the
letter
in
the
project,
I
move
that
this
meeting
may
continue
tomorrow
at
four.
H
Yes
and
after
the
votes
taken
I'll
want
to
announce
the
location,
obviously,.
H
H
Meeting
and
have
that
announcement
reflected
in
the.
H
Go
ahead
and
schedule
a
zoom
link
and
announce
that
that'll
be
posted
on
the.
A
Additional
discussion.
Sorry,
I'm
running
into
some.
H
Account
sophia,
are
you
able
to
to.
G
Yes,
I
just
mentioned
that
we
are
able
to
host
the
meeting.
G
And
I
can
make
myself
available
at
4
pm
tomorrow.
Can
can
you
make
that
meeting
now
so.
H
Folks,
where
it's
going
to
be
located,
how
you
want
to
determine
location,
I.
A
Is
there
any
further
discussion
point
of
order?
Madam
chair,
you
don't
need.
E
Comment
that
about
this
situation,
that.
E
Think
all
of
us
would
understand
receiving
materials
that
were
still
being
developed
in
some
respects,
so.
E
D
Flaherty
said
it's
not
that
I
mean
you're,
letting
the
perfect
be.
D
Sufficient
notice,
if
you
I
mean
you,
don't
need
it.
D
D
There's
a
reason
we
have
a
48
hour,
you
know
public
notice,
law.
D
And
I
wouldn't
have
this
problem
if
I
had
been
able
to.
D
D
Finished
today
next
time,
please
give
us.
A
Tomorrow,
at
which
time
we
will
look
at
a
draft.
H
She's,
miss
mcdowell
has
actually
already
sent
me
the
link.
I
will
display.
A
We
will
continue
this
meeting
until
4
pm
tomorrow.
A
Tuesday,
the
22nd,
mr
lucas,
you
have
the
zoom
link.
A
Accomplish
tonight,
thank
you.
Yes,
madam
chair.
D
Council,
member
holland,
the
issue
is
that
I
mean
if
we
can
keep
the.
H
Website
you
can
access
the
meeting
simply
by
clicking
this
link.
Once
we
have
a
an
additional
moment,
we.
D
Yes,
very
good,
or
maybe
continued
from
the
date
of
september
21st.
D
Thank
you.
May
I
make
a
quick
comment
please
so
between
now
and
tomorrow's.
B
Meeting
if,
if
you're
still
reviewing
the
information,
know
that
I'm
available.
B
Available
as
well,
that
includes
you,
council,
member
volun.
I
mean
this.
B
Project,
so
we
can
answer
them
as
quickly
as
possible.
C
And
I'll
second,
when
alex
said,
I
believe.
C
C
And
so
understand,
it's
very
short
notice.
D
Question
ms
pearl:
when
did
that
phone
call
happen.
C
I
think
it
was
probably
I'd
have
to
go
back
and
check
my
records.
I'm
not
I'm.
D
I
Partners,
some
of
them
until
today
we
had
we
had.
B
B
Front
of
you
to
respect,
you
know
the
fact
that
you
know
we
didn't
want
to
put
a
bunch
of
you
know:
slap
together
drafts.
B
So,
while
I
understand
your
concern,
it's
we,
we
were
not
sitting
around.
B
Twirling
our
thumbs
into
the
last
minute
and
then
firing
them
off.
I
know.
B
D
It
really
is
okay
and
what's
not?
Okay
is
being
asked
to
look
at
something.
D
Know
what
was
coming
or
what?
What
what
you.
D
So
let
me
make
crystal
clear
that
what
you
just
said
please
take.
D
It
to
her,
like
you
know,
send
us
what
you
have.
D
With
enough
time
to
look
at
it,
don't
let
the
perfectly
enemy
of
the
good.
D
A
I
will
offer
the
comment
that
that
dynamics
of
this
committee
aside.
A
And
the
work
of
the
team,
you
know
that
I'm
a
fundraiser
by.
A
Good
work
in
putting
this
together
and
barring.
A
Continuing
correct
so
with
that,
let
us
continue.
