C
A
Appropriation

clerk
please
call

roll.
B
A
E
Yes,

I

like

that
appropriation
ordinance.
B
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
we
have
staff
city
representative
here

evening.
A
I'm
sorry
councilmember
flaherty.
Yes,
yes,
first
I'd
like
to
move
that
appropriation.
A
And
before
mr
kelson
get
started
and
council
member
flaherty
and
maybe
mr
lucas,
I
may
need
your.
G
Good
evening,
everyone
for
record
I'm
vic
kelson
director
of
utilities
for
the
city,
I'm.
G
Happy
to
be
here
again
tonight
and
I
certainly
appreciate
the
council's
consideration
of.
G
Our
budget
for
2022,
and
certainly
for
being
moved
up
on
the
agenda
that
was
very
kind
of.
G
Any
proposals
for
changes-
this
is
the
same
budget
that
we
brought
back
in
august,
but.
G
Everything
goes
well.
We
would
expect
a
ruling
from
the
from
the
commission
sometime
in
the
next.
G
Probably
a
couple
of
months,
certainly
so
we
are
targeting
january
1st
for
implementing.
G
The
new
tariff,
assuming
everything,
goes
well
from
now
on
so
fingers
crossed,
but
overall
our.
G
Revenue
increase
will
be
about
18.26
percent
over
two
cycles,
they're
about
equal
in
size.
G
Between
the
half
of
the
subsidy
that
the
residential
customers
have
been
have
been.
G
Passing
on
to
the
other
categories,
so
we've
made
a
lot
of
progress
and
we're
really
excited
to
be.
G
A
For
any
questions
on
appropriation,
ordinance
21-43
having
to
do
with
water
wastewater.
A
Okay,
seeing
none
mr
kelson.
Thank
you
for
that
update
what
I'd
like
to
ask.
G
We
were
asking
originally
for
22.22
percent
revenue
increase,
we
got
18
and
a
quarter.
G
Two
things
about
that.
One
is
that
by
settling
the
case,
we're
going
to
be
getting
the
we're.
G
That'll
make
up
for
some
of
the
some
of
the
difference.
We
never
it's
very,
very
rare.
G
Some
of
the
adjustments
that
were
made
were
related
to.
G
The
actual
savings
from
our
solar
panels
and
some
of
the
other,
some
of
the
other
issues
that.
G
G
G
G
Delay
some
of
the
some
of
the
some
of
the
costs,
so
the
revenue
requirements
to
do
that.
A
G
Didn't
say,
and
that
is
that
our
budget
proposal
does
not
reflect
any
additional
dollars
from.
G
The
rate
case,
so
what
the
effect
of
the
rate
case
would
be
on
on
us,
assuming
that
the.
G
The
tariff
goes
into
effect
on
january
1st.
The
difference
for
us
will
be
to
replenish
the.
A
A
My
colleagues
on
the
council
and
for
the
public,
okay,
seeing
no
other
questions
from
council.
A
Okay,
seeing
no
indications
of
public
comment
will
return
to
counsel
for
final
comments
and
or.
A
Questions,
I'm
sorry,
the
other
way,
questions
and
or
final
comments
on
appropriation,
ordinance,
21-43.
A
Okay,
see,
none,
then,
are
we
ready
for
the
question.
B
A
A
B
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
just
to
be
clarified
with
the
clerk
is,
should
you.
B
E
A
Here
this
evening,
good
evening,
mr
connor,
how
are
you
good
evening?
Thank
you
for
your.
A
Appropriation
ordinance
21-44
again,
if
you
intend
to
speak,
please
use
the
raised
hand.
H
J
A
Ordinance
21-4
passes
nine
zero
and
before
we
move
to
introduce
the
next
appropriation
ordinance.
A
F
F
F
F
Climate-Related
infrastructure
in
trent,
some
transformative,
new,
affordable
housing
programs
and.
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
K
Echoing
many
of
the
things
that
the
mayor
said,
you
know
this
is
a
process,
that's
it
really
is.
K
10
months
out
of
the
year
10
months
out
of
12
months,
it's
not
kind
of
for
me.
It's
kind.
K
Of
a
combination
of
two
things,
we
start
it's
a
puzzle
and
you
hope
that
you
have
all.
K
K
Happy
that
we
we
funded
everything
that
he
would
like.
No,
the
council,
the
public
about
what
we.
K
K
K
A
balanced
budget
and
is
it
sustainable
from
a
standpoint,
and
I
think,
we've
done
that
I've.
K
We've
presented
a
budget
that
is
balanced,
I
think
it
meets
our
needs.
Many
of
our
wants
and.
K
So
I
would
urge
you
to
approve
this
budget
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
A
As
well
as
the
public
that
are
in
attendance,.
A
Mr
flaherty,
yes,
we'll
actually
need
to
move
the
the
ordinance.
E
As
well
the
appropriation
ordinance,
so
I
would
go
ahead
and
do
that.
I
moved
at.
A
B
A
Thank
you
very
much
council
member
flaherty
move
that
appropriation
ordinance
21-02
be
adopted.
A
21-43
be
adopted
we'll
now
move
to
council.
I'm
sorry
who
do
we
have.
K
Since
it,
the
ordinance
was
introduced
and
we're
here
to
answer,
questions
asked
thank
you.
C
Yes
in
our
council
packet,
there
is,
in
addition
to
the
ordinance
itself.
There
are.
C
Budget
form
one
budget,
estimates
that
have
each
department
and
each
budget
category.
C
Budget
to
dlgf
or
can
that
be
revised?
Those
are
exhibits
that
are
used
to
build
up
to
the.
K
Which,
in
some
cases,
are
all
the
revenues
for
that
particular
fund?
In
some
cases,
it's.
K
To
what
you
see
in
the
form,
four,
which
is
the
ordinance
and
then
the
form
4b,
is
that.
K
18-Month
process
that
I've
talked
about
in
the
past
that
we're
really
doing
an
18-month
budget.
K
K
K
Up
until
adoption
there
can
be
changes
within
the
fund
if
there's
more
than
one
department.
K
Be
up
to
the
administration
to
request
that
I
make
those
changes.
A
N
N
N
N
N
F
If
I
take
that
as
a
question
to
me,
council
member
sandberg,
I've
certainly
been
willing
to
talk
to.
F
Deadline
we've
tried
to
give
plenty
of
time
for
those
discussions,
but
my
door
is
always
open.
F
You're,
referring
to
the
seven
of
you
who
endorsed
a
five
thousand
dollar
pay
increase.
F
F
F
F
F
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
sandberg,
we're
still
in
first
round
questions
and
I
do
believe
council.
A
J
To
follow
up
on
councilman
sandberg's
question,
despite
the
fact
that.
J
J
I
have
come
before
and
after
the
budget
was
presented,
do
you
still
stand
by
your
your.
J
F
In
order
to
give
time
for
plenty
of
feedback,
and
it
it
did
change
since
august.
F
F
Yeah,
absolutely
yeah
and
I'll
jump
in
and
clarify.
My
statement
is
that
yes,.
K
A
City
of
bloomington,
I
would
ask
that
if
you
intend
to
speak,
make
a
public
comment.
A
A
A
Mobile
device
or
a
mobile
phone,
you
can
reach
us
through
star
9
and
absence
any
of
those
other.
A
A
O
Hi
I'm
greg
alexander,
I
and,
as
you
saw
at
the
you
know,
the
committee
of
the
whole.
O
Meetings
with
the
department
heads
there
are
a
lot
of
things.
The
city
really
could
be.
O
O
While
that's
true,
you
know,
poor
people
walk
people
who
have
low
carbon
footprints,
walk.
O
O
O
O
To
put
that
goal
ahead
of
the
procedural
and
political
issues
that
you
face
today,
because
I.
O
I
think
we
we
all
do
want
that
goal
and
one
way
or
the
other
it
actually
needs
to
happen.
O
H
H
To
at
least
give
them
a
raise
compared
to
other
cities,
and
that
is
the
end
of
the
comments.
A
A
A
On
appropriation,
ordinance,
21-02
and
as
we
go
through
the
comments,
I
will
reserve.
A
The
right,
at
least
on
the
first
round
as
a
chair
to
go
last,
at
least
in
the
first
round.
So
I.
A
P
And
what
is
needed?
It's
a
matter
of
priorities,
so
I'm
just
astounded
that
this
hasn't
been
done.
A
M
M
Will
be
implemented
all
right,
perhaps
it
was,
it
was
unintentional,
but
it
is.
Does
that
suggest.
M
That
the
this
is
our
only
opportunity
to
appropriate
those
arpa
dollars.
Will
we
have.
F
F
A
Back
to
you
before
we
end
the
first
round,
do
you
have
any
other
comments
from
council
members.
A
E
There
first
just
a
thank
you
and
appreciation
again
to
to
all
members
of
the
administration
for.
E
E
Conversations
we've
had,
but
I
voted
no
during
our
committee.
The
whole
meeting
two
weeks
ago.
E
E
And
that
had
been
narrowed
from
a
much
fuller
set
of
priorities.
I
believe
these.
E
E
And
this
just
simply
isn't
acceptable
to
me.
The
climate
crisis
is
a
central
and
defining
challenge.
E
E
E
E
Budget
is,
in
my
view,
very
much
his
shared
responsibility.
A
number
of
council
members.
E
E
Good
thing
that
we
would
also
like
to
see
that
a
no
vote
isn't
really
an
appropriate
response.
E
But
I
think
that
metaphor
goes
both
ways
if
the
mayor
has
49
things
in
his
budget.
E
Essential,
I
don't
think
it's
reasonable
for
him
not
to
add
that
one
extra
item
so.
E
Dependence
on
on
the
council
like
like
we
are
not
acting
reasonably,
so
that's
really.
It.
E
And
our
responsibility
and
our
role
in
setting
priorities
and
fiscal
oversight
for
the
city.
E
A
Final
comments
from
council
first
round
comments:
council,
council,
member
piedmont,
smith.
C
Yes,
the
mayor
has
made
a
stark
choice.
He
I
mean
he
has
outlined
this
as
a
stark.
C
C
See
an
increase
in
the
base
pay
of
police
officers,
seven
to
two
that
included
two.
C
C
C
Processes-
and
we,
we
very
much
appreciate
some
of
the
things
that
mayor
hamilton
has.
C
C
For
climate
change,
so
that
has
been
clear
to
mayor
hamilton
since
last
year,
at
least
and.
C
It
is
not
just
as
he
as
he
stated,
a
difference
of
opinion,
but
it
is.
C
We
can
for
the
existential
crisis
that
we
are
in
with
the
climate,
so
I
ask
the
administration
to.
C
The
four
of
us
for
the
climate
action
position
and
bring
it
back
to
us
in
a
few
weeks
and.
C
L
Bpd-
and
I
think
it's
just
a
matter
of-
I
want
to
quote
thomas
paine
about
common
sense.
L
Societal
at
this
point,
but
it
doesn't
appear
that
after
our.
L
Kind
of
research
and
analysis
of
the
situation
about
retention
and
that
that
the.
L
Stem
the
tide
and
reduce
the
turnover
and
increase
the
retention.
L
But
it
didn't
really
it
it's
not
it's
a
one-off.
It's
it's
one
thousand
dollars
for
five.
L
L
L
Really
struggling
with
this
and
and
I
do
understand
all
the
different
implications.
L
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
smith,
any
other.
A
First
round
final
comments
from
council
members,
council
member
rosenberger.
Q
Thank
you
as
usual,
my
thoughts
are
kind
of
scattered
on
my
piece
of
paper
here.
Q
Q
More
a
little
bit
change
before
before
we're
ready
to
vote.
Yes,
you
know
what
comes
up.
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
For
the
city-
and
I
think
this
is
really
close,
but
for
now
I
don't-
I
don't
support
it.
N
N
Of
something
for
everybody-
and
I
think
that
is
where
we
need
to
sit
down
at
the
table
and
think.
N
N
N
N
N
N
J
Council
cannot
increase
any
lines
in
the
budget
by
statute.
Only
the
mayor
can
choose.
J
J
J
J
In
climate,
one
of
the
the
facets
that
asked
it
note
said
that
we're
going
to
have.
J
J
J
This
year,
we're
seeing
open
revolt
by
a
majority
of
council.
J
J
J
J
A
Holden,
council
members
campbellary
did
you
have
sure?
Thank
you
I'm
round.
Two,
though,
is
that
okay.
M
I
want
to
respond
to
some
of
what
I've
heard
this
evening
and
and
you've
heard
this
theme
across.
M
M
M
M
M
M
M
Feel
that
urgency,
but
I
don't
think
we're
done
yet
more
specifically,
as
currently
written
general.
M
M
M
M
M
A
Thank
you,
council
members,
campbell
array.
What
I'd
like
to
say
is.
A
Since
the
budget
proposal
was
presented
in
august,
there
has
been
some
changes
from.
A
The
administration
and
those
I
just
wish
to
thank
the
mayor.
I
am
thankful,
I'm
just
not.
A
A
In
my
individual
conversations
with
my
colleagues
as
well
as
the
mayor,
it
is
clear
that
there.
A
Is
a
desire
to
pass
the
2022
budget
as
proposed
or
I'm
sorry
past
the
2022
budget.
A
A
And
their
items
of
discussion
to
be
part
of
our
council
process
council
meeting
process.
A
A
A
So,
council,
member
sandberg,
mr
president,
I
move
that
the
council
recess
tonight's
special
session.
N
And
recommend
that
we
reconvene
at
6
30
on
september
27th
for
a
continued.
N
Special
session
second,
thank
you.
My
colleagues
have
heard
the
motion
has
been
probably
second.
A
Councilmember
piedmont
smith,
this
month
again
the
records
of
this
motion
that
it
requires
a.
A
A
A
You
that
motion
passes
eight
to
one.
We
will
re
convene
on
october
27th
in
a
special
session.
A
At
6
30
pm
to
continue
this
current
special
session
and
before
we.
H
Yes,
I'll
I'll
just
display,
if
that's
all
right,
the
the
zoom
information
for
that
october,
27th.
H
Meeting
this
will
also
be
available
on
the
council's
website
for
the
folks
that
would
like
to
attend
that
meeting.
H
We'll
that,
just
briefly
folks
able
to
see
that.
H
Yes,
okay,
as
as
noted
at
the
bottom,
this
this
link
and
all
of
the.
H
Good
folks,
just
a
second
longer,
I
don't
have
any
additional
items
for
council
to
consider
under.
H
A
A
Zero
one,
I'm
sorry,
eight
one
zero
and
if
there
are
no
objections,
I
am
a
journey.
A
Today's
special
session,
just
a
point
of
order
and
clarification,
we've
actually
been
in
recess.
E
E
A
I
appreciate
it
and
I
guess
we'll
just
leave.
Thank
you
very
much
have
a
good
evening.
