Many
months
and
happy
dance
to
your
questions
and
comments.
But
if
you
don't,
if
you
have
any
for.
E
F
F
A
G
G
F
F
D
D
F
Ordinance
when
that
happens,
2017
or
2023
rather
the
the
common
law
minimum
pay
rates
are
now.
F
F
A
I
I
F
F
F
H
See
no
takers
on
zoom
and
with
that,
let's
come
back
to
council
for
amendment
one
and
if
there.
D
C
You
miss
shaw.
I
wondered
if
you
could
give
us
an
update
or
status
on
negotiations.
C
Have
have
there
been
any
meetings
since
our
last
council
meeting.
F
J
Sent
a
number
of
dates
to
the
union
for
further
negotiation
sessions
in
october
and
november.
J
I'm
hoping
to
comply
before
I
go
away
on
a
vacation
in
november
mid-dovember,
but.
K
F
And
maybe
controller
underwood
would
like
to
jump
in
here
and
say
that
better
than
I.
G
I
had
a
little
bit
of
a
hard
time
hearing
you,
mr
underwood,
so
you're
saying
that
the
the.
L
All
the
policies
right,
gotcha
and
ms
shaw
so
other
than
the
sworn
police
officers.
What.
H
H
M
I'm
sorry
steve
robertson,
I'm
sorry,
we
don't
have
too
many
employees
left.
M
M
But
with
the
budget
is
there's
a
lot
of
money
in
that
budget
and
I
would
like
to
see
a
budget.
M
M
M
M
M
M
M
M
M
N
Our
endeavors
to
try
to
secure
a
meaningful
conclusion
to
this
contract
negotiations.
N
Appointments
and
dates
that
actually
are
after
this
session
and
they
lead
into
november.
N
N
N
N
N
A
O
O
O
O
O
O
A
Sign
in
state
your
name,
please
good
evening,
my
name
is
jeff
morse.
P
Department,
I'm
currently
your
asphalt,
paving
foreman.
We
are
here
tonight
because
this
city.
P
P
P
P
P
Q
Q
Q
A
C
C
We
were
in
dire
straits
at
that
time.
The
mayor
we
met
in
an
emergency
meeting
budget
meeting.
C
C
Have
the
funds
to
keep
pace?
I
agree
to
the
ed
lit
principally
because
of
that,
because
the
police.
C
C
C
So
I'm
in
a
predicament
because
I
feel
I
must
vote
for
this
appropriation
because
it
is
something.
C
Woefully
inadequate,
so
I'm
going
to
be
prepared
to
vote
no
on
non-essential
appropriations.
C
Because
that
money
would
otherwise
have
gone
to
union
contract
and
would
go
for
non-union
salaries.
C
In
the
dark
here
you
know
I
should
say
I
have
to
put
my
faith
in
the
administration.
C
C
Council
cannot
meet
its
obligation
to
keep
pace
with
inflation,
if
the
admit,
if
the
mayor,
the.
C
This
to
to
go
under,
but
I
would
appeal
to
my
colleagues
our
next
ordinance
is
to.
C
C
Families
employees
are
protected
so
I'll
I'll
be
voting
yes
on
this
with
under
duress.
B
My
first
or
second
term,
back
in
the
auths
might
well
have
been
completed.
At
the
same
time,
a
budget.
B
B
Tonight,
it's
indicative
a
systemic
concerns.
I
have
about
public
works
that
require
this.
B
B
When
we
bought
arms
that
were
retrofitted
to
trucks,
the
difficulty
that
certain
bins.
B
B
B
B
B
And
this
is
the
first
time
I've
seen
this
many
union
representatives
here
too
they're
not
just.
B
Here,
for
their
individual
reasons,
they're
here,
whether
they
know
it
or
not,
because
the
city.
B
B
B
B
B
Funds
are
going
to
come
from
so
with
that
I'll
be
voting
yes
tonight,
but
again
I
am
I'm
hoping.
B
R
Of
living
you
know,
I
would
really
encourage
administration
to
to
look
at
that
really
and.
R
Compensate
y'all
fairly,
it's
just
there's
been
tough
times
cost
of
living's
gone
up.
R
For
everybody,
we're
just
you
know
every
everybody's,
it's
a
ripple
through
the
economy,
so.
R
And
it's
just
an
important
thing.
And
and
when
you
look
at
the.
R
And
you
know
me:
I've
lived
in
bloomington
for
a
while.
I
don't
I
don't
want
you
to.
R
So
I
really
support
your
efforts.
I
want
you
to
be
fairly
compensated,
and
so
thanks
a
lot
for.
R
G
Yeah,
I
think
that
my
colleague,
councilmember
rallo,
explained
very
well
kind
of
the.
G
Predicament
that
we're
in
where
we
we
want
to
support
the
employees
that
do
the
essential.
G
And
the
ordinance
in
front
of
us
now,
if
we
were
to
vote
no,
then.
G
This
year's
salaries,
so
that
would
not
be
a
good
outcome
either.
So
I
will
be
voting
yes,
but
I.
G
Urge
the
administration
to
do
right
by
our
employees.
We
have
several
new
employees.
G
G
City
of
bloomington,
you
all
need
to
be
prioritized
before
we
start
hiring.
G
New
people,
and
so
I
urge
the
administration
to
come
to
an
agreement
to
maintain
the
great.
S
S
In
any
way
that
I
can
for
the
union
and
your
ability
to
collective
bargain,
I
would
say
I.
S
S
You
know
you
find
it
to
be
special
in
some
way
and
it
it
makes
me
pretty
sad
to
think
that.
S
S
S
Kind
of
like
without
me,
getting
involved
with
my
vote
on
the
budget.
It
you
still
have.
S
Change
the
wages
right
and
there
are
some
other
things
there.
So
I
think
this
is
a
very.
S
T
Last
weeks
and
tonight
I
think
yeah,
council
moralo,
actually
you
know
some
summed
up
some.
T
Of
the
challenges
in
in
a
pretty
clear
way,
I
I
remain
like,
I
think,
a
lot
of.
T
Other
processes
to
you
know,
adjust
salaries,
and
I
know
the
mayor
is
proud
of.
You
know
the
efforts.
T
They
have
made
with
five
percent
increase
bonuses,
you
know
savings
match
and
other.
T
Things
like
that
that
are
that,
are
you
know
an
appreciable
increase
in
in
benefits
for.
T
T
T
That
we
can
play
you
know
the
the
collective
bargaining
units
of
apps
me
and
of
of
the
the
city.
T
Update
that
would
reflect
any
agreement
and
I
think
we've
made
clear
through
past
meetings.
T
Any
agreement
that
is
reached
between
afscme
and
the
city
of
bloomington,
so
the
money
in
terms.
T
T
Like
that
is
absolutely
available
and
and
will
can
be
covered,
and
I
no
doubt
this
council.
T
You
know
we
may
increasingly
be
involved
in
other
ways
of
trying
to
to.
You
know,
make.
T
T
T
Assistance
programs
that
are
available
to
some
some
employees,
but
but
not
others,.
T
T
Processes
are
imperfect
and,
and
so
we're
left
you
know
dealing
with
that
at
some
level.
T
We
would
then
be
contractually
abound
in
future
years
to
appropriate
appropriate.
You.
T
That
it
will
be
covered,
it's
not
like
any
appropriations
in
this
year's
budget.
T
Will
somehow
limit
or
make
that
not
possible?
I
think
the
one
last
thing
I'll
say
is
that.
T
And
competitiveness
with
throughout
you
know,
with
surrounding
governmental
units,.
T
In
private
sector
you
know
we've
heard
anecdotes
to
that
effect.
I've
heard
that.
T
T
Speak
they
would
come
from
the
county
to
the
city
and
that
that's
you
know
going
the
other
direction
more
commonly
now
and
things
like
that,
so
that
to
say
you
know
again,
like
my.
T
Colleagues
concerned
about
retention
looking
in
the
coming
year
to
get
more
information
more.
T
Quantitative
data
about
those
retention
challenges
about
salary,
competitiveness,
benchmarking
also.
T
Gender
and
racial
pay,
equity
considerations
and
just
making
sure
that
we're
really
digging
into.
T
The
weeds
of
those
issues
so
that
we
can,
you
know
positively
affect
them
where,
where
possible,.
T
U
The
last
couple
weeks,
I've
mentioned
some
of
you
that
were
here
of
our
support
for.
U
Working
people's
unions
for
lack
of
a
better
term
for
33
years,
I
worked
at
indiana
university.
U
Budget,
then
that
would
show
the
administration
somehow
that
we
take
all
this
serious
and
it'll.
U
U
U
What
we
want,
I
don't
think.
However,
the
way
we
are
not
going
to
speak
for
myself,
and
I
don't.
U
U
U
U
U
U
Thoughts,
I'm
involved
with
another
organization.
We
have
four
employees
and
years
and
years
ago
we.
U
Someone
mention
the
what
cola
is
going
to
be
next
year
projected
and
maybe
even
the
year
after.
U
Be
reflected
around
that
the
administration
that
I
know
and
I've
heard
some
things
I
don't.
U
U
U
U
U
A
Gamble
laurie
you.
I
appreciate
you've
heard
my
colleagues
make
some
very
good
points.
I
I
I
I
Progressive
city
that
does
a
lot
of
that
has
a
lot
of
very
ambitious
goals,
and
that,
and
that
is
a.
I
Not
much
else
really
matters,
so
I
would
convey
that
as
well.
The
other
thought
I
would
convey.
I
I
That
discussion,
thank
you
for
in
enriching
some
of
my
thought
on
a
lot
of
this
as
well.
I
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
D
A
A
F
Back
then,
and
you
all
withheld
taking
those
adjustments
until
after
the
election
year,
which.
F
F
A
A
Keep
it
consistent,
that's
correct!
Yes,
okay!
Thank
you!
Anyone
else,
council,
member
scandalori,
yes,.
F
For
this
year,
for
this
ordinance,
I've
had
to
do
some
quick
math,
so
I
can
get
my.
A
Underwood
handy
with
the
actual
numbers
here
as
to
what
the
increase
will
look
like.
F
F
Your
on
your
ordinance,
this
next
I'll,
be
more
prepared.
Forgive
me,
anyone
else
have
a.
H
G
G
F
H
A
K
The
b-square
bulletin,
some
of
you
may
know
this,
I'm
trying
to
popularize
the
idea
of
asking.
K
Questions
during
public
comment
time
as
a
reporter
might
so
here
I
go
council
member
rallo
talked.
K
K
Could
still
get
paid
based
on
last
year's
salaries,
but
I
think
it
would
be
useful
for
everyone
to.
G
Yes,
ms
shaw
or
mr
underwood,
can
you
explain
what
would
happen
if
this
ordinance
did
not
pass.
B
B
Or
an
ordinance
like
salaries
for
more
than
a
year
at
a
time.
So
if,
in
the
past,
for
example,.
H
Technically,
there's
a
december
31st
for
passage
of
this
salary
ordinance
you,
you
cannot.
B
Mean
I
don't
care,
who
would
I
mean
it
would
have
to
come
to
the
administration
to.
B
Increase
our
salaries,
but
it's
more
a
question
of
binding
it
for
a
term
as
opposed
to
by
year.
A
Okay,
yeah
go
ahead
well,
clearly,.
C
Referring
to
the
last
appropriation,
I'm,
I
I've
had
a
continual
sense
of
frustration.
C
Was
a
bit
you
know
inattentive
to
this,
that
this
also
includes
the
city,
clerk's,
salary
and.
C
Future
appropriation
ordinances
relative
to
what
we
see
come
in
the
coming
months
regarding
the.
C
Contract-
which
is
I
mean,
we
don't
know
at
this
point,
but
hopefully
we
have.
We
hope
that
it
is.
A
Quite
a
bit
of
thought
between
the
last
discussion
and
this
one
thinking
that,
if
it.
H
But
certainly
we'd
be
doing
things
on
the
fly.
If
that
was
something
you
wanted
to
pursue,.
H
Divide
the
question
and
on
the
fly
right
now
separately,
to
be
addressed
this
evening
or
at
a.
B
I
H
Option
yes,
motion
to
postpone
to
a
a
particular
date
would
be
most
the
most
effective
way.
B
The
negotiation
and
it
gets
voted
on
here.
If
we
were,
we
should
be
able
to
say
that
in
2022.
B
B
Change,
but
you
know,
like
everyone
running,
should
know
what
the
salary
is
going
to
be
and
the.
B
B
B
On
we
are
increasingly
busy
as
city
council
members,
there's
enough
attention
that
members
of.
B
B
B
But
I
think
that
that
may
be
best
articulates
how
our
salaries
should
be
negotiated,
maybe
not.
B
Even
quadrinally,
every
elected
official,
their
salary
should
be
set
for
the
duration
of
their.
B
B
B
D
A
Next
appropriation
ordinance!
Yes,
madam
president,
until
I
moved
that
appropriation.
C
D
D
D
W
W
W
W
A
W
I'm
glad
you
caught
that
when
is
the
next.
When
is
the
next
water
case
due
that
will
be
in
2024.
A
H
U
Slaying
as
apple
or
but
one
thing
that
I
do
want
to
remind
us
overall
thinking.
U
U
U
D
D
C
X
Could
you
35
million
39
251
dollars.
B
X
X
So
at
this
year's
budget's
up
131
percent,
I
would
anticipate
if
we're
once
again
successful.
H
A
That's
a
member
of
allen.
I
just
want
to
take
it's
another
opportune
year
to
point
out
the.
B
B
B
Could
have
with
transit
where
federal
dollars
can
be
leveraged
with
local
dollars.
B
At
a
rate
of
four
to
one
so
we're
getting
a
bargain
for
this
portion
of
local
income
tax
and
I.
B
C
Yes,
just
following
up
on
a
question
I
had
earlier
in
our
budget
hearings
and
maybe
it's
of.
C
C
Interesting
to
I
mean
I
know
it
happens
in
certain
countries.
I
know
european
countries
are.
C
X
X
T
T
I
wanted
to
clarify
every
point.
I
share
councilmember
moralo's
desire
to
get
you.
T
Direction
we
should
be
headed,
but
just
want
to
clarify
also
that
even
under
the
existing
grade.
T
That
that
I
I
hear
from
folks
in
the
community
that,
like
we're
powering
our
vehicles
with
coal.
T
T
T
A
All
right,
councilmember
rallo
just
to
follow
up
and
and
thank
you
councilmember
flaherty,.
L
L
L
L
Of
2
million
and
again
the
only
change
that
was
presented
from
august
to
the
public
hearing
and.
L
Tonight
was
a
appropriation
for
reproductive
rights
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
was.
L
Appropriated
appropriate
initially
in
the
in
the
general
fund
and
then
was
then
gets.
L
L
A
I
Appropriation
ordinance
22-01.
Second,
yes,
it
may.
I
continue
yes,
okay,
this
this
amendment
would.
I
I
A
A
A
H
I
council,
member
piedmont
smith
I'll
just
maybe
ask
to
clarifies
your.
G
Well,
my
question
at
this
point
would
be:
does
this.
G
H
Can
can
confirm
the
intent
is
just
to
remove
the
transfer
into
the
jack
hopkins
fund
to
leave.
H
A
Regarding
amendment
one
yes
well,
I
would
like
to
ask
mr
underwood
if
the
way
this.
G
Amendment
is
stated
whether
that's
is
appropriate
for
maintaining
that
one
hundred.
L
A
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
K
K
K
K
We're
seeing
this
year
all
the
money
from
the
local
income
tax,
for
example.
It's
my
understanding.
K
New
salary
ordinance
is
put
in
front
of
you.
It
would
be
useful
to
get
a
clearer
understanding
of.
K
K
K
What
these
folks
are
supposed
to
be
paid,
isn't
that
possible
and
if

The

in
other

it's
a.
B
B
B
Give
them
the
best
tipping
fee,
so
you
know
I
wanted
to
call
attention
to
that
and
to
say
that.
B
R
R
R
Those
costs-
and
I'm
not
sure
we
do
maybe
we
need
pay
as
you
throw.
R
R
R
R

And
so
that's
that's
the
way
I
view
it.
I
I
I
don't
think
the
process
of
just
taking.
R
That
subsidy
away
is
really
going
to
achieve
what
we're
all
thinking
and,
and
so
so
so.

Percent,
if
you're
a

business
you're
paying
three
percent

As
mr
flaherty
said,
everyone
pays
property
taxes,
not
just
homeowners.
So
the
fact
that.
B
B
B
To
unless
their
astronomical
increases,
they're
going
to
be
a
relative
bargain
to
what
it
actually.
B
Costs
to
dispose
of
trash
another
thing
that
mr
smith
doesn't
know,
maybe
because
he
hasn't
looked.
B
To
pay
per
bag
they
might
find
or
a
can
they'd
find
another
way
to
dispose
of
their
trash.
They'd.
B
B
Plan
to
modernize
sanitation
was
floated
by
the
administration.
I
got
strong
pushback.
B
The
very
details
of
the
administration
has
headaches
over
every
day
that
they're
trying.
B
B
The
impact
that
our
assumptions
are
having
on
the
formation
of
a
budget
so
like
with
all.
B
Due
respect,
I
would
suggest
that
mr
smith
join
me
in
in
helping
analyze
the
shortcomings
of
the.
B
B
G
Yes,
I
I
look
forward
to
further
conversations
about
the
sanitation
budget.
It
is
the
fiscal.
G
G
G
But
since
we're
that's
just
a
very
small
part
of
this
whole
budget,
I
wanted
to
express
my.
G
Support
for
for
several
things
and
overall
focus
on
sustainability
in
this
budget,
we
have.
G
Almost
four
million
dollars
to
support
public
transit,
as
we've
seen
that
will
come
from
ed.
G
G
Hopefully,
boosting
salaries
beyond
the
five
percent
for
the
non-union
salaries
as
well.
So.
U
Participating
in
administration,
robust
conversation
with
our
council
members.
U
U
U
U
Something
to
think
about
are
we
going
to
pay
at
some
point
to
have
snow
removed
from
my
street.
U
Was
our
own
folks
in
talking
about
sustainability?
How
we're
now
approaching.
U
U
So
we'll
talk
more
later,
we
won't
agree
all
agree
on
trash
rate
increases
and
pickups.

To
sign
so
please,

to
get
that
completed

Thank.
