We
also
acknowledge
that
much
of
the
economic
progress
and
development
in
Indiana
and
specifically
Bloomington
resulted
from
the
unpaid,
labor
and
forced
servitude
of
people
of
color,
specifically
enslaved,
African
labor.
We
acknowledge
that
this
land
remains
home
to
and
a
site
of,
gathering
and
healing
for
many
indigenous
and
other
people
of
color
and
commit
to
the
work
necessary
to
create
and
promote
a
more
Equitable
and
just
Bloomington.
A
We'll
continue
with
an
agenda
summation.
We
have
no
minutes
to
approve
this
evening.
We'll
then
move
into
a
time
of
reports,
including
council
member
reports
and
then
reports
from
the
mayor
and
city
offices,
I'll.
Note
that
the
sidewalk
side
path
and
Paving
data
report
has
been
postponed.
The
department
is
waiting
for
some
additional
information
before
they
present
to
us.
We
will
go
ahead,
though,
with
an
update
report
on
Bloomington,
Capital,
Improvements
Inc,
then
a
report
on
staff
recommendations
regarding
scooters
and
micro,
Mobility
options.
A
A
We
have
two
items:
two
items
of
legislation
for
first
readings,
including
appropriation,
ordinance
23-01
to
specially
appropriate
the
current
balance
of
the
opioid
settlement
fund
to
help
address
the
impacts
of
the
opioid
crisis
on
City
and
County
residents
and
appropriation
ordinance
230-02
to
especially
appropriate
funds
from
the
general
fund
for
construction
of
the
trades,
District
tech
center
and
Associated
construction
Management
Services.
A
F
E
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
say:
March
is
National,
disability,
disability
awareness,
Awareness,
Month,
yeah
and
I
think
we
all
need
to
recognize
that
that
was
first
declared
and
1987
by
Ronald
Reagan.
E
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
couple
things.
The
one
thing
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone.
That's
on
zoom
and
those
here
present
and
I
know.
I,
don't
have
to
remind
anyone
of
this
but
vote
vote
vote
I
go
to
a
lot
or
these
forums
I'm
still
interested
in
hearing
from
our
candidates
or
those
who
wish
to
be
elected,
and
that
is
the
best
way.
I
think
us,
as
the
public
can
determine,
who
we
might
think
is
the
best
person
to
fill
those
positions.
So
I
would
encourage
you
to
attend.
G
Don't
really
matter
in
these
situations,
and
we
talked
a
little
bit
after
that,
and
I
said
you
know
Isabel
or
I'm.
Sorry,
council,
member
Piedmont,
Smith
I,
said
why
would
you
not
say
anything
about
praying,
because
that
gives
people
encouragement
it
gives
people
hope,
I,
guess.
The
point
of
my
message
this
evening
is
that
I
think
my
Council
colleague
is
exactly
right.
G
Praying
and
having
good
thoughts
is
is
what
we
need
to
do.
We
have
to
offer
encouragement
and
hope,
but
it
is
not
enough
and
I
hope
that
message
can
resonate
with
our
federal
people,
even
some
of
our
state
people,
but
that
in
and
of
itself
it's
necessary
and
I
will
do
it.
But
to
quote
her
it
is
not
enough.
A
I
Yes,
I
want
to
Echo
what
my
colleague
councilmember
Sims
said
how
important
it
is
to
vote.
You
can
check
your
voter
registration
at
indianavoters.com
if
you
are
not
yet
registered,
you
have
until
5
PM
on
Monday
to
register
in
order
to
vote
in
the
primary
election.
I
You
can
do
that
as
well
at
indianavoters.com
or
at
the
local
voter
registration
office,
which
is
at
the
corner
of
Madison
and
7th
Street
right
around
the
corner
here
and
the
League
of
Women
Voters
has
an
excellent
website
where
you
can
see
who's
going
to
be
on
your
ballot
and
find
out
about
all
the
candidates
that
is
at
vote411.org.
I
I
also
want
to
affirm
that
the
rights
of
lgbtq
plus
individuals
are
human
rights.
The
rights
of
trans
people
are
human
rights,
and
the
majority
in
the
Indiana
general
assembly
is
taking
away
human
rights
and
we
must
stand
firm
and
fight
for
the
rights
of
our
trans
neighbors,
our
trans
Hoosiers,
in
this
in
this
terrible
discriminatory
climate.
I
This
is
not
just
a
matter
of
people
living
the
gender
that
they
believe
they
are.
This
is
often
a
matter
of
life
or
death.
If
you
feel
you
are
forced
to
live
in
a
gender
that
does
not
match
how
you
feel
that
that
can
be
the
end.
The
the
suicide
rate
for
Trans
teenagers
is
alarmingly
high
and
so
in
the
state
legislature
has
once
again
disappointed
me
and
disappointed
our
community
and
try
to
curtail
the
rights
of
Hoosiers
across
the
state.
I
C
You
council,
member
Sandberg,
thank
you,
I
Echo,
the
concerns
of
council
member
Sims
when
he
mentions
the
most
recent
mass
shooting
I.
Think
many
of
us
who
remember
the
terrible
incident
in
Columbine
I
mean
that
was
shocking
in
and
of
itself.
But
since
then
there
have
been
a
number
of
mass
shootings
in
this
country
that
I
keep
thinking.
That's
got
to
be
the
one
you
know,
Sandy
Hook,
that's
got
to
be
the
one
Virginia
Tech,
that's
enough
is
enough.
C
We
we
must
take
action
and
when
we
think
of
this
particular
shooting
in
Nashville
having
a
red
flag
law
enacted
could
very
well
have
prevented
those
six
deaths.
Three
children,
three
staff,
members
and
thoughts
and
prayers
clearly
are
not
enough,
and
it
is
time
for
the
nation
to
examine
its
conscience
and
accept
the
fact.
We
have
a
gun
problem
and
we
have
an
inaction
problem,
we're
all
horrified
with
each
incident
of
mass
shootings
and
I
hope,
I,
never
stop
being
shocked
by
them.
C
I
hope
they
don't
just
become
so
commonplace
that
oh
well
there's
another
one,
but
unfortunately
that's
what
it
feels
like
when
our
Congress
refuses
to
take
action
and
I
would
just
encourage
those
who
feel
as
saddened
as
I
am
that
this
continues
in
America
and
very
little
is
being
done
about
it.
There
seems
to
be
no
political
will
at
the
national
level
to
take
incremental
steps,
small
steps
even
to
prevent
the
next
mass
shooting
from
occurring.
Thank
you.
A
F
Yes,
thank
you.
First
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
the
deadline
to
register
to
vote
on
Monday
is
at
the
close
of
business
at
the
local
clerk's
office.
It's
5
PM
at
the
Indiana
election
division,
so
I
hope
nobody
goes
after
four
o'clock.
Only
to
discover
that
the
clerk's
office
is
closed,
so
I
think
it's
four
o'clock
on
Monday,
but
I
wanted
to
talk
about.
You
can
put
that
slide
up
now.
F
I
want
to
talk
about
something
different
I
have
been
concerned
as
the
district
6
representative
about
the
Community,
revitalization
enhancement,
District
or
the
Creed
for
my
entire
career.
It
was
formed
in
2003
tweaked
in
2004,
and
it's
been
collecting
taxes,
I
think
for
15
years
or
so,
and
we
haven't
really
done
much
with
that
fund
and
there's
now
10
million
dollars
in
that
fund.
F
We're
going
to
be
hearing
from
the
administration,
who's
asked
for
three
million
dollars,
who's
going
to
be
asking
for
3
million
to
build
the
new
Trade
Center
tech
building,
but
and
that's
a
more
appropriate
use
of
that
money
than
for
a
police
and
fire
headquarters.
F
But
it's
still
I
have
often
thought
about
what
that
money
should
be
used
for.
I
do
believe
that
it
should
be
used
to
improve
and
upgrade
ancient
and
aging
electrical
and
utility
infrastructure
in
the
courthouse.
Square
District,
but
I've
long
also
talked
about
a
downtown
circulator.
It
was
first
pitched
in
2007
and
eight
and
BT
did
a
study
on
it.
F
Four
million
approximately
would
be
to
purchase
three
electric
buses,
two
of
which
would
run
the
route
or
routes,
and
one
of
which
would
be
in
backup
that
would
also
cover
the
cost
of
up
to
16
shelters
that
would
be
placed
all
around
the
routes
which
you're
looking
at
up.
Here
is
a
route
that
involves
it's
actually
two
routes,
a
north-south
route
and
an
East-West
route
that
goes
between
Kirkwood
goes
down.
F
Kirkwood
to
7th
the
north-south
route
goes
between
college
and
walnut,
with
a
20-minute
interval
and
the
estimates
you
see
here
which
again
I'll
be
circulating
tonight
or
after
the
meeting,
along
with
a
memo
describing
this
idea,
and
it
would
cost
anywhere
between
400
and
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
a
million
dollars
a
year
to
operate,
and
the
5
million
would
also
allow
it
one
year's
worth
of
operation,
the
soonest
that
BT
could
Mount
such
a
service
would
be
no
sooner
than
August
of
24.,
but
we
would
have
about
two
years
to
figure
out
another
source
of
revenue.
F
For
my
money,
the
the
best
source
of
Revenue
to
keep
such
a
service
going
would
be
an
increase,
a
necessary
increase
in
revenue
from
parking
meter
rates.
There
are
quite
a
few
blocks
of
downtown
that
have
been
overpriced
for
the
10
years
that
we've
had
meters
back
in
service
and
there
are
quite
a
few
blocks
that
are
underpriced.
F
The
amount
of
Revenue
that
could
be
raised
from
a
50
Cent
increase
in
average
increase
in
Revenue
would
more
than
pay
for
this
service.
So
while
this
is
still
very
early
days,
I
want
everyone
to
be
thinking
about
it,
because
I
think
it's
time
that
we
do
something
to
serve
the
district
that
was
taxed
since
2003,
and
that
this
would,
unlike
any
other
project
we've
heard
about
so
far,
would
serve.
The
entire
would
serve
the
entire
Creed.
District
would
be
connecting
several
disparate
points.
F
This
this
pair
of
roots
and
any
other
route
we've
contemplated,
would
connect
the
trades
District
to
the
Hopewell
District.
F
It
would
connect
the
convention
center
and
the
courthouse
and
the
IE
sample
Gates,
and
this
particular
map
even
serves
part
of
the
IU
campus,
but
whether
it's
the
corner
of
10th
and
Woodlawn
or
the
circle
at
the
IU
Auditorium
I,
think
that
it's
about
time
that
we
did
a
fair
free,
trolley-like
downtown
bus
service
that
circulates
around
downtown
that
connects
every
parking
garage
in
town
with
every
point
of
interest
in
the
center
of
town,
which
is
now
greater
downtown
I've
started
calling
this
the
greater
downtown
circulator,
because
it
takes
20
minutes
now
to
walk
from
the
trades
District
to
the
Kroger
on
the
south
side
of
this
this
map,
and
it
takes
20
minutes
from
either
of
those
points
to
walk
to
the
sample
Gates.
F
So
that
is
well
beyond
the
amount
of
time
that
the
average
pedestrian
would
walk
before.
Looking
for
another
form
of
transportation,
it
would
serve
everyone
equally
and
it
would
be
a
tremendous
Boon
to
every
user
of
downtown,
both
individual
and
institutional,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
there
will
be
support
in
the
administration
and
the
council
for
this
service.
There's
going
to
be
some
hard
work
to
get
the
numbers
to
make
it
viable
after
year.
F
One
but
I
know
that
the
statute
that
that
governs
the
use
of
this
money
allows
for
both
the
acquisition
of
this
equipment,
the
acquisition
of
the
shelters
and
the
operation
of
the
bus
for
at
least
one
year.
So
with
that
I
hope
that,
if
I'll
be
circulating
the
memo
momentarily
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
feedback
from
all
my
colleagues.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
I'll
finish
up
council
member
reports
with
by
extending
an
invitation
to
my
constituent
meeting.
It
is
coming
up
on
this
coming
Saturday
April
1st
no
kidding
it
will
be
at
a
different
time,
though
it
will
be
at
11
A.M.
Usually
it's
at
1
30.
It
will
be
at
11
A.M
via
Zoom.
The
link
is
available
on
my
website
at
sioux4citycouncil.com
and
that
will
actually
just
connect.
You
there's
just
a
button.
You
click
on
that
says
join
so.
A
K
K
Looking
at
the
recording
from
last
time,
we
are
happy
to
and
expecting
to
ask
the
cbci
board
to
adjust
the
appointment
of
vacancies,
which
was
one
of
the
issues
you
raised
seeking
to
have
not
the
the
current
bylaws
suggest
dictate
that
the
remaining
members,
if
there's
an
unexpected
vacancy,
appoint
the
member
to
fill
out
that
term
we're
happy
and
I
I
expect.
We
have
a
meeting
next
week
expect
they
can
change
that
to
have
any
unexpected
vacancy,
be
filled
by
The
Entity
that
was
originally
responsible
for
appointing
that
that
seat.
K
So
that's
fine
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
appointing
a
wonderful
member
to
that
board.
They
have
met
once
and
will
be
meeting
next
week
and
are
beginning
their
work
in
Earnest,
in
particular,
on
Hopewell,
and
we're
very
pleased
with
the
prospect
of
engaging
with
them
and
I
thought
I'd,
just
open
it
up
for
questions
and
back
and
forth.
K
A
H
Yes,
thank
you.
How
will
the
board
derive
funds.
K
Well,
there's
a
lot
still
to
be
worked
out,
but
generally
that
board
will
look
to
be
supported,
one
of
two
ways
primarily
well:
three.
Let's
say
one
would
be
directly
from
the
Redevelopment
Commission
on
behalf
of
the
Redevelopment
commission.
Two
would
be
from
the
city
budget.
We
have
a.
We
have
already
been
relying
on
contract
expenses
to
provide
support
for
some
of
these
projects.
K
I
cope
well
and
those
could
be
transferred
to
the
non-profit,
and
then
next
year's
2024
budget
could
have
a
request
in
it
for
a
direct
appropriation
or
proportion
through
some
part
of
City
budget.
Those
will
be
the
main
ways.
I
think
they
eventually
could
receive
revenue
from
operations
or
property
that
they
own
that
they,
if
they,
if
they
do,
become
an
owner
of
property
that
they
could
earn
money
off
of
too.
H
Okay,
may
I
continue.
Okay,
so
well,
let's
let's
address
that
last
point.
So
so
it
seems
that
there
will
be
Property
Transfers
from
the
city
to
the
board.
Is
that
correct
have.
H
Possible:
okay,
and
what
role
would
the
council
have
in
terms
of
oversight.
K
Yeah
I
think
that's
a
it's
a
really
good
general
question
about
the
council's
oversight.
Role.
I
think
it's
important.
The
basic
point,
I
would
say
is
that
the
council's
prerogatives
and
roles
are
only
increased
with
the
with
the
operation
of
a
non-profit,
because
it
had
it
in
no
way
can
change
the
council's
authority
over
the
budgets
ownership
Etc
that
we
have
now,
and
it
only
increases
it
because
the
council
now
has
a
seat
at
that
board,
which,
without
the
without
the
nonprofit,
is
really
just
operating
inside
the
city
Administration.
So
any
Authority.
H
Okay,
just
one
other
brief
question,
so
say
a
budget
time.
There
is
a
a
line
item
for
the
funding
of
the
cbci,
and
that
includes
various
expenditures
related
to
say,
funding,
various
non-profits
or
or
certain
facilities
and
and
things
of
that
sort.
Will
the
council
have
discretion?
Perhaps
they
need
to
include
their
Council
attorney
here
discretion
to
to
remove
items
from
that
budget,
or
will
it
come
as
as
a
simple
as
a
single
appropriation
or
within
that
budget
will
be
itemized.
K
Well,
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
any
specific
plans,
but
I
would
say
this
just
as
right
now
we
are
appropriating
funds
to
contractors
to
help
with
the
Hopewell
development,
for
example,
that
was
in
the
budget
that
went
before
you
last
fall,
indicating
in
a
category
three
I
guess,
whatever
contracts
that
that
was
what
the
intention
intended
use
was
so
it'd
be
identical
to
that
I
think
terms
of
budget.
G
G
What
are
the
chances
that
we
can,
instead
of
going
forward
administrative,
one
Council
to
three
and
two
and
not
to
put
you
on
the
spot
or
anything
but
I
think
moving
forward,
not
so
much
oversight
but
I
think
that
would
be
a
good
effort.
I
think
too,
to
to
smooth
some
things
and
help
some
things
move
along
so
and
I
know,
there's
probably
been
no
more
thoughts
on
that,
but
I
thought
I'd
raise
that
tonight.
So.
K
Well,
I
appreciate
you
raising
it.
We
have
discussed
that
before
I'm
happy
to
just
briefly
share
a
couple
thoughts
about
it,
but
again
and
I
sent
this
in
a
memo
to
y'all
in
the
public,
early
January,
I
think
10
weeks
ago,
or
so
that
that
explained
the
kind
of
the
the
choice
and
the
Dilemma
of
do.
K
We
keep
doing
this
in-house
with
the
demands
on
our
our
staff
and
our
departments
from
economic
State
development,
a
controller
to
legal,
to
you,
know,
Public,
Works,
to
parks
and
and
engineering
and
everybody
and
simply
expand
our
capacities
there
with
staff
and
contracts,
which
is
what
we've
been
doing
in
in
these
projects.
Or
do
we
create
a
non-profit
to
do
it
and
I
is
in
that
memo
outline
their
reasoning
to
to
look
at
a
non-profit
and
I?
K
I
would
note
that
the
boards
and
commissions
that
we
have
there
are
a
number
of
them
in
in
a
similar
kind
of
posture,
where
an
entity
that
is
very
responsible
for
coordinating,
overseeing,
implementing,
Administration
and
City
policy
is
a
fully
mayor.
Appointed
board
I
mean
you've
the
public
safety
board,
which
of
course,
very
important
oversight
and
Direct
Control
in
some
ways
of
our
police
and
fire,
is
a
five-person
board.
K
All
appointed
by
the
mayor,
the
Public
Works
board,
which
meets
here
and
is
considered
the
the
head
administrative
entity
of
the
city,
is
a
three-person
board
all
appointed
by
the
mayor,
Parks
Board,
which
oversees
the
parks
department
and
implementing
all
that
is
a
four-person
board
all
appointed
by
the
mayor.
Of
course
there
are
other
boards
and
different
setups,
so
I
think
we've
seen
a
number-
and
this
is
my
judgment
of
one
way,
but
I
do
look
forward
to
continued
conversation
about
it.
G
Thank
you
and
I.
Wasn't
around
I,
don't
know
if
any
of
my
colleagues
were
around
with
any
of
those
other
boards
or
commissions
were
formed
and
created
in
in
the
structure
and
and
that's
fine
I,
don't
have
any
real
issue
with
those,
but
back
to
this
one,
would
you
feel
the
administration
would
have
less
Authority
with
a
three
to
two
structure,
as
opposed
to
a
four
to
one.
K
Well,
just
the
difference
between
four
members
that
a
mayor
will
appoint
and
that
will
be
directly
accountable
in
a
way
to
them
versus
three.
Just
you
know,
there's
some
difference
in
that.
If
I
mean
I
assume,
you
think
there's
a
difference
between
one
and
two.
G
G
G
G
And
if
the
other,
four
or
three
and
two
is
not
as
there's
not
as
much
Authority
as
foreign
one,
if
you
look
at
them
as
individually,
does
the
council
appointment
have
less
than
individually
than
the
other
four?
G
If
it's
an
authority
thing
so
I
don't
understand
three
and
two
versus
four
and
one,
and
you
still
have
the
majority
but
again
and
you
don't
even
have
to
respond
it
I
just
want
to
think
about
we'll
talk
about
that
more.
But
that's
just
what
I'm
thinking
about
appreciate!
We
look
forward
to
talking
about
it
for
sure.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you.
That
was
my
question
as
well.
I
think
that
was
my
suggestion.
When
we
were
talking,
would
it
be
feasible?
Would
this
board
consider?
Would
you
consider
adding
two
more
appointments
that
the
council
could
then
appoint?
I
was
very
much
thinking.
That
was
a
good
idea
to
help
balance.
There
are
several
venues
on
the
table
that
this
non-profit
will
manage.
Two
of
them
are
related
directly
to
the
Arts,
and
you
have
appointed
four
excellent
people.
C
This
is
my
last
year
on
this
Council,
but
I
fully
support
the
idea
of
having
a
better
balance
of
having
you
appoint
for,
and
the
Council
of
0.3.
The
mayor
still
has
the
majority,
but
the
balance
of
community
representation,
I
think,
would
be
better
served.
So
I
hope
that
the
board-
or
you
will
consider
that
I
think
it's
still
a
good
idea
and
I
would
like
to
see
a
few
more
people
appointed.
C
F
Right
well,
I
think
that
there
is
a
substantive
concern
echoed
by
my
colleagues,
but
it
has
to
do
with
the
bylaws
and
we
were
not
did
not
have
a
hand
in
the
making
of
the
bylaws
that
was
done
by
apparently
the
first
four
who
were
appointed
before
we
appointed
ours.
Do
the
bylaws
for
the
new
cbci
have
any
provision
for
decisions
that
must
be
made
by
a
super
majority
vote.
K
The
provisions
in
the
bylaws
and
I
apologize
I'm,
not
a
complete
expert
on
those
bylaws.
The
the
main
thing
that
has
been
baked
in
so
far
to
the
bylaws
is
a
protection
against
changing
the
number
of
or
the
makeup
of
the
board
by
the
board
itself.
Changing
its
public
accountability.
The
the
compliance
with
the
open
door
law
cannot
be
done
without
the
approval
of
I
think
both
the
mayor
and
the
council.
K
They
don't
have
I,
don't
believe
a
provision
that
you're
referencing,
but
the
bylaws
can
be
adjusted
and,
in
fact,
as
I
said,
I
think
they'll
be
adjusted
at
the
next
meeting.
F
I'm
encouraged
to
hear
that,
but
my
concern
is
that
number
one
there
should
be
some
I
mean.
Is
the
these?
The
rhetorical
question
that
my
colleagues
are
asking
is:
is
the
one
member
a
meaningful
member?
Now
you
have
said
that.
Well,
we
certainly
have
more
oversight
than
we
did.
This
is
true,
but
how
meaningful
is
it
I
note
that
80
percent
of
the
board
is
named
by
the
mayor
and
there's
no
circumstance
in
any
kind
of
other
organization
where
more
than
two-thirds
vote
is
necessary
for
a
super
majority?
F
So
the
super
majority
of
members
of
this
board
are
appointed
by
the
mayor
and
I.
Think
that,
whether
it's
three
to
two
as
councilmember
Sims
suggested
or
four
to
three
as
councilmember
Sandberg
has
suggested
either
way
there
would
still
be
a
majority
appointed
by
the
mayor,
and
most
decisions
would
be
the
the
mayor's
appointees
would
have
a
majority
in
when
that
was
an
issue.
But
when
it
came
time
for
I
mean
there
would
be
a,
it
would
be
a
meaningful
membership
appointed
by
the
council.
F
If
we
knew
that
there
were
certain
decisions,
that
could
only
be
made
with
a
super
majority
vote
and
that's
either
five
out
of
seven
or
four
out
of
five.
So
you
know
the
fact
that
we
had
no
hand
in
the
preparation
of
the
bylaws
is
a
concern
to
us.
F
Many
of
the
boards
that
councilor
Sims
mentioned
were
required
by
State
Statute,
the
Board
of
Public
Works,
the
Board
of
Public
Safety,
so
I
mean
we
weren't
supposed
to
have
a
hand
in
it.
But
this
is
a
body
where
I
mean
you
were
saying
that
you
want
us
to
have
a
hand
in
it,
but
we're
concerned
about
the
meaningfulness
of
that
hand.
So
I
would
ask
what
you
would
say
to
these
concerns
these
more
specific
concerns.
K
I'm
happy
to
hear
them
I'm
we
don't
have
any
super
majority
requirements
so
that
ratio
of
whether
it's
80
or
60
is
not
affected
by
that,
but
but
but
I
I
just
did
want
to
check
the
the
amendment
to
the
bylaws
are
generally
by
a
majority,
with
the
exception
that
I
mentioned
of
any
change
to
the
composition,
number
or
appointment
of
directors
must
be
approved
by
the
council
and
the
mayor,
or
any
change
to
the
transparency
of
their
meetings
and
Records.
K
Now,
I
I
appreciate
that
I
just
want
to
note
that
we
shared
the
draft
bylaws
in
January
with
you
all
and
and
welcome
feedback
got
some
feedback.
They've
certainly
been
public
for
10
weeks
now
and
welcome
suggestions
about
it,
but
they
they
were
shared
in
draft
form
to
get
comment
about
them.
F
I
mean
the
comment
is
sort
of
moot.
If
the
point
is
that
it
doesn't
matter
what's
in
the
bylaws,
if
there's
no
I
mean
the
the
it
stated
from
the
get-go
that
there
was
going
to
be
four
in
one
again,
Council
has
no
meaningful
input
in
this
body.
K
Well,
I
guess
I
would
I
appreciate
your
point.
I
think
the
only
thing
I
would
say
is
again
noting
that
Council
has
more
access
with
this
body
today
than
if
this
body
were
not
created.
Council
has
all
of
the
authority
that
you've
had
before
in
terms
of
financing
effect
on
the
Hopewell
development
or
the
Arts
community
and
the
Arts
facilities.
K
K
We
can
think
about
it
differently
and
I'm
happy
to
continue
to
talk
about
it,
but
this
is
really
a
board
to
help
execute
Administration
responsibilities
and
not
an
Advisory
Board
and-
and
in
that
regard,
my
judgment,
which
you
may
certainly
differ
on,
is
that
having
direct
and
important
accountability
is
is
important
for
Effectiveness,
but
look
forward
to
keep
talking
about
it
and,
after
all,
you
can
decline
to
fund
it
if
you
think
it
shouldn't
be
funded.
For
those
reasons.
F
Well,
I
would
suggest
that
there
is
a
at
least
a
nominal,
if
not
a
significant
difference
between
I
mean
first
of
all,
is
it
correct
that
the
cbci
will
have
monetary
authority
authority
to
vote
on
approval
of
a
purchase
or
of
a
of
any
kind
of
I
mean
it's
going
to
have
a
budget?
Won't
it.
K
K
K
F
F
I
mean,
with
all
due
respect,
I
think
that
this
was
a
missed
opportunity
at
best
to
directly
involve
Council
in
a
word
that
has
been
much
bandied
about
and
poorly
understood,
which
is
oversight
the
if,
if
you're
saying
that
the
council
has
a
veto
over
what
the
cbci
does,
that
may
be
true
in
the
effectively
in
the
form
of
voting
on
financial
matters,
but
it's
still
asking
to
get
on
our
already
complicated
agenda.
F
The
politics
are
different
than
if
you
were
to
to
have
oversight
that
was
built
into
the
management
of
the
cbci
and
I.
Think
what
I'm
hearing
from
my
colleagues
is
that
if
you
were
to
do
what
we
suggested,
we
would
have
less
concern
over
and
less
frankly
needs
to
directly
oversee
the
cbci.
You're
I
mean
the
cbci's
lack
of
existence.
F
Before
now
you
know
meant
it
fell
to
Administration
officials
but
I
again,
I,
don't
see
it
as
being
truly
a
meaningful
change
and
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
what
decisions
they're
going
to
make
without
us
having
meaningful
input
into
their
bylaws.
So
I
don't
think
any
of
us
really
appreciated
that
it
was
made
unilaterally
by
the
administration
and
we
at
the
very
least
wish
and
hope.
We
won't
regret
that
the
administration
did
not
include
the
council
and
the
development
of
the
body
and
its
bylaws.
Well,.
K
I
I
just
have
to
comment
that
the
Administration
very
explicitly
and
publicly
welcomed
input
and
the
in
the
development
of
this
body
and
the
bylaws
we
shared
them
directly
with
you
and-
and
you
know,
I've-
had
open
meetings
and
talked
about
this
in
several
times
and
have
been
open
to
discuss.
Any
concerns
like
that
and
so
I
do
think.
You've
had
plenty
of
opportunity
to
give
input
on
the
bylaws
and
the
body.
We
may
not
agree
on
exactly
what
comes
out.
That's
fine,
well,.
K
I
had
several
meetings
with
groups
of
council
members
and
it's
up
to
the
council.
If
you
want
to
set
a
meeting
to
to
talk
about
this,
you're
certainly
welcome
to,
but
all
I
can
do
is
say,
I'd
love
to
talk
to
you.
Here's
what
we're
thinking
about
come
talk
to
me
meet
with
me.
Tell
me
what
you
think
of
it.
I
think
you've
heard
what
we
think.
Thank
you,
I'm
hearing
it.
Thank
you.
D
A
K
Appointments
thank
you
for
asking
that
if
the
board
were
to
change,
if,
if
the
bylaws
were
to
change
the
number
of
board
members,
the
bylaws
would
have
to
be
amended,
which
is
generally
done
by
a
majority.
But
the
bylaws
say
any
changes
affecting
the
number
or
appointment
of
directors
must
be
approved
by
the
mayor
and
the
council.
City
Council,
in
addition
to
the
directors,
so
there
could
be
a
proposal
that
would
have
to
be
approved
by
those
three
entities.
So.
K
F
Four
four
to
three
or
three
to
two.
A
I'll
take
another
run
at
this
unless
I'm
missing
someone,
okay,
how
would
you
know
when
you're
done
talking
about
it
and
able
to
make
a
decision?
Well,.
K
A
J
Would
you
say
so
I
know
the
Redevelopment
commission
is
going
to
potentially
be
transferring
property
and
or
funds?
Would
you
say
that
the
cbci
would
take
up
any
responsibilities
currently
that
currently
belong
to
the
Redevelopment
commission?
I
know
it's
taking
up
executive
functions
of
other
kinds,
but
would
you
say
some
of
the
responsibilities
of
the
Redevelopment
commission
would
be
taken
out
by
the
cbci.
K
I
would
I'm
just
trying
to
thank
you
for
the
question
I'm
just
trying
to
think
about
it,
a
minute
I'm
thinking
about
the
example
of
the
mill
and
the
trace
District
development,
which
generally
the
the
Redevelopment
commission,
was
not
active
in
that
that
was
generally
handled
inside
the
administration.
K
The
Redevelopment
commission,
as
the
owner
of
the
property,
decided
to
appropriate
in
a
contract
some
funds
to
a
non-profit.
To
do
to
do
some
development
related
to
its
property.
I
could
imagine
I
mean
I'm
just
trying
to
think
parallels
if
the
Redevelopment
commission
wanted
to
do
that,
they
could
with
other
entities,
including
the
cbci
I,
suppose.
J
Thank
you
does,
can
the
Redevelopment
commission
choose
to
there
are
there
levels
at
which
it
can
acquire,
sell,
transfer
property
that
do
not
require
Council
approval.
K
So
I
am
I,
am
a
lawyer
but
I'm
not
licensed
to
practice.
So
I
want
to
be
careful
about
that.
I
we,
yes,
there
are
certainly
levels
that
under
State
Statute
are
invoked
that
require
the
county.
The
the
city
council,
as
you
know,
like
a
five
million
dollar
purchase,
and
all
of
those
of
course,
are
unaffected
by
any
of
this.
J
J
The
Redevelopment
commission
has
three
mayoral
appointments
and
two
Council
appointments
and
it's
a
fairly
powerful
body.
J
You
know
there's
Appropriations
that
it
can
make
that
don't
rise
to
the
level
of
council
approval,
that's
pretty
significant
entity
and
that
that
sort
of
Power
Balance
of
appointing
authorities
is
is
more
in
line
with
what
my
some
of
my
colleagues
are
asking
for
and
saying
so
I'm
trying
to
understand
in
particular
I
know:
there's
executive
functions
the
cbci
may
take
up,
but
to
the
extent
that
the
closer
that
they're
into
the
realm
of
the
rdc's
responsibility,
the
more
I
think
mirroring
that
appointment
and
power
structure
is,
is
perhaps
logical.
J
So
that's
why
I
was
asking
and
might
still
want
to
dig
into
that
a
little
more
in
the
future.
One
additional
question,
similarly,
which
is
that
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
Miss,
barely
dansman
is
both
on
the
RDC
and
on
the
cbci
board.
Is
that
right,
that's
correct
and
I?
Imagine
that
was
done
intentionally
that
that
Nexus
or
that
relationship
we
thought.
K
K
We,
we
have
a
lot
to
figure
out
happy
to
talk
about
choices
going
forward
from
my
perspective,
as
your
mayor
I'm,
just
saying
that
the
execution
of
of
this
effort
to
develop
Hopewell
to
developed,
Trace
District,
our
as
I
indicated
in
the
memo,
are
really
not
sustainable
inside
the
administration
without
pretty
substantial
increases
in
personnel
and
changes
in
that,
and
that
I,
don't
think,
are
really
consistent
with
the
long-term
city
responsibility
either
directly.
So
this
is
really
an
arm
of
the
administration.
K
From
my
perspective,
to
help
execute
some
exceptional
opportunities,
some
really
exciting
opportunities,
we're
we're.
You
know
this
is
not
all
there's
no.
This
is
not
all
planned
out
and
happy
to
discuss
options
like
how
much
how
does
it
relate
exactly
to
the
RDC
I?
Think
it's
a
good
question.
Okay,
thank
you.
F
K
K
Model
it
explain
my
view.
The
RDC
is
in
no
way
a
kind
of
an
operational
execution
body.
It
hasn't
been.
We
looked
at
whether
it
would
make
sense
to
turn
it
into
that,
it's
just
so
different
from
what
they've
done
and
their
role
that
we
didn't
feel
it
was
appropriate
to
do
so
and
I
respect.
You
may
have
a
different
view
on
that,
but
we.
A
L
F
J
Spoke
right
at
the
same
time,
you're
beginning
to
I,
believe
we
had
a
maximum
of
20
minutes
set
aside
for
this
section,
the
agenda,
it's
perhaps
worth
making
a
motion
to
extend
that
well,
I.
J
Haven't
made
a
motion,
yet
I
was
going
to
perhaps
request
a
point
of
information
about
how
much
more
time
we
think
is
needed
for
mayoral
presentation
prior
to
making
a
mission.
L
Mr
absent
the
Q
a
because
that's
hard
to
figure
out
but
I
mean
it'd,
be
nice
to
have
a
little
bit
more
time
on
the
presentation
itself,
25
30
minutes
at
the
most
and
then,
if
there's
another
10
15
minutes
of
q,
a
I
think
that'd
be
great.
Okay,.
J
I
would
like
to
move
that.
We
extend
the
time
for
reports
from
the
mayor
and
city
offices
to
eight
o'clock
P.M.
A
A
L
Thank
you
for
that.
So
again,
good
evening,
council
members,
I'm
Alex,
Crowley
I'm,
the
director
of
Economic
and
sustainable
development
I'll
be
joined
this
evening
by
Hank,
Duncan,
bicycle
and
pedestrian
coordinator
in
the
city's
planning
and
transportation
department,
who
has
done
a
remarkable
job,
synthesizing
input
from
various
parties
to
produce
the
recommendations
he
will
share
with
you,
Kirk
white,
we'll
also
briefly
add
the
University's
perspective.
At
the
end
of
our
report.
We
look
forward
to
answering
any
questions
you
may
have
at
the
end
of
our
prepared
remarks.
L
Our
report
this
evening
will
provide
background
on
shared
use,
micro
mobility
deployments
in
Bloomington,
where
things
stand
now
our
recommendations
for
improving
the
safety
of
both
Riders
and
pedestrians
and
for
improving
accessibility
for
pedestrians
in
the
public
right-of-way.
We
will
end
with
our
proposed
next
steps
following
this
evening's
report.
L
Let
me
Begin
by
re-emphasizing
that
we
are
primarily
concerned
with
two
key
issues:
Ryder
and
pedestrian
safety
and
parking
and
pedestrian
accessibility
in
the
public
right-of-way
shared
use.
Micro
Mobility,
has
clearly
become
a
contentious
issue
across
the
country
and
here
in
Bloomington,
having
had
the
unfortunate
effect
since
initial
deployments
of
separating
our
constituents
into
two
distinct
camps,
on
the
one
hand,
is
a
vocal
and
persistent
group
of
residents
and
stakeholders.
Who've
clearly
expressed
their
discontent
with
shared
use,
micro
mobility
and
we've
all
heard
that
discontent
loud
and
clear
and
recognize
the
issues
they've
raised.
L
Regarding
challenges
we
see
in
the
community,
on
the
other
hand,
is
a
relatively
more
silent,
but
significant
user
base,
often
younger
and
skewing
to
the
university
student
population,
who
relies
on
shared
use,
micro
Mobility
as
a
means
of
transportation.
We
also
recognize
their
interest
as
manifested
in
part
in
the
significant
ridership
data
we
track.
L
In
our
discussions
with
Council
leadership
preceding
this
report,
we
agreed
that
there
was
no
need
this
evening
for
legislation,
but
certainly
are
open
to
that
action
at
any
later
date.
Should
the
council
and
the
city
legal
department
deem
it
necessary.
As
you
know,
the
ordinance
broadly
assigns
the
detailed
of
shared
use,
micro,
Mobility
licensing
to
the
Board
of
Public
Works,
in
an
effort
to
streamline,
updates.
L
Since
the
initial
deployments
by
the
three
scooter
operators,
staff
and
Council
have
taken
several
steps
to
regulate
the
use
of
the
devices
around
the
community
in
November.
2018
operators
were
placed
under
an
interim
operating
agreement
which
instituted
initial
parameters
around
their
deployments
in
Bloomington
in
July
2019.
The
interim
agreements
were
supplanted
by
ordinance,
1909
and
the
corresponding
license
agreements
through
the
Board
of
Public
Works,
which
more
specifically
defined
the
rules
to
which
operators
are
subject.
L
L
One
was
the
death
of
an
18
year
old,
IU
freshman,
who
died
on
August
18th
from
injuries
sustained
while
riding
and
crashing
a
scooter
in
the
late
night
hours.
Another
fatality,
though,
not
directly
related
to
scooter
use,
occurred
only
a
month
later
on,
September
19th,
I'm,
sorry,
September
18th.
When
a
20
year
old,
IU
Junior
died
after
being
hit
by
a
suspected
drunk
driver,
while
he
rode
a
scooter
on
a
sidewalk.
O
My
name
is
Hank
Duncan
and
I
am
the
bicycle
and
production
coordinator
in
planning
and
transportation.
Thank
you,
and
also
thank
you
for
giving
us
some
extra
time,
so
we
can
dig
a
little
bit
deeper
into
these
recommendations
and
not
just
give
a
surface
level
overview.
O
We're
going
to
detail
each
of
these
recommendations,
talking
about
educational
quizzes,
adjusting
hours
of
operation,
adding
a
minimum
number
of
sit
down,
Vehicles
versus
stand-up
vehicles
and
then
operator,
helmet
certification.
O
Digging
into
pre-ride
educational
quizzes:
this
is
something
that
some
operators
already
do
in
other
cities.
It
seems
like
low-hanging
fruit
that
we
can
deploy
in
Bloomington
without
much
trouble
at
all.
These
quizzes
would
be
completely
run
by
the
operator,
setting
them
up
deciding
which
questions
to
ask
the
riders
that
would
be
in
collaboration
with
City
staff
Administration,
but
it
would
detail
rules
of
the
road,
safe,
riding
habits,
appropriate
rioting,
appropriate
parking
locations,
things
that
all
Riders
should
know
before
they
hop
on
these
vehicles
right
now.
O
We're
thinking
about
making
these
Riders
answer
these
quizzes
semi-annually
so
two
times
per
year,
just
keep
just
give
them
a
refresher
of
what
the
rules
of
the
road
are
and
how
to
ride
these
vehicles
safely,
adjusting
out
the
hours
of
operation.
This
was
a
main
topic
of
a
conversation
between
all
the
stakeholders
involved,
and
what
you
see
here
is
that
compromise
that
happy
medium
ground
that
seems
to
appease
all
members
involved,
so
starting
with
stand-up
scooters
and
and
these
hours
of
operation
revolve
around
daylight.
O
So
the
concern
right
now
is
about
the
after
hours
riots,
nighttime
riding.
That's
one
reason
why
we
have
this
current
11
pm
to
5
a.m:
curfew
in
place
right
now,
so
what
we
came
to
is
that
from
April
through
October
during
the
during
the
time
with
more
evening,
sunlight
keeping
the
curfew,
as
is
11
pm
to
5
A.M,
but
in
those
winter
hours,
when
we
have
an
earlier
sunset,
pushing
back
or
pushing
up
that
curfew
to
8
P.M.
O
O
The
accessibility
of
it
in
that
there
are
a
lot
of
Bloomington
residents
who
still
need
to
get
around
town
during
those
curfew
hours,
and
so,
when
talking
with
the
different
stakeholders,
there
seemed
to
be
a
push
in
the
direction
of
e-bikes
and
sit-down
vehicles
that
these
companies
already
offer
some
in
Bloomington,
some
in
other
cities.
So
currently
vo,
has
their
sit
down.
Cosmo
Cosmo
e-scooter.
If
you
see
it
around
town,
it
looks
kind
of
like
a
moped,
but
it's
essentially
a
sit-down
scooter.
O
Lime
has
e-bikes
around
town
and
bird
right
now
just
has
stand-up
vehicles,
but
they
have
the
ability
to
deploy
e-bikes
if
necessary.
So
this,
in
terms
of
our
hours
of
operation,
was
the
Compromise
of
safety
plus
equity
for
those
Riders
and
accessibility
for
those
Riders
who
need
to
get
around
Bloomington
cheaply
and
accessibly
after
hours
with
that
to
make
sure
that
there
are
enough
sit-down,
Vehicles,
sit-down
scooters
and
e-bikes
available
for
those
residents
who
need
to
use
them
after
hours.
O
We
are
requiring
or
we
are
recommending.
We
are
recommending
a
requirement
of
that
25
of
each
operator's
Fleet
consists
of
sit-down
vehicles,
just
just
for
reference
right
now.
Vo
has
about
310
Vehicles
deployed
right
now
about
half
of
them
a
little
bit
a
little
less
than
half
our
sit-down
vehicles.
O
O
Rather
than
the
stand-up
scooters
that
you
see
more
often
than
not
here
as
an
added
incentive
to
push
towards
those
sit-down
Vehicles,
if
an
operator
has
a
fleet
that
consists
more
than
half
of
sit-down
vehicles,
that
per
ride
fee
that
they
pay,
the
city
would
decrease
for
the
for
the
fleet
from
15
cents
per
ride
to
10
cents
per
ride.
So
essentially,
we
are
trying
to
push
the
push
them
in
the
direction
of
sit
down
vehicles.
There
seems
to
be
one
just
a
normalcy,
biased
behind
cycling.
O
People
are
more
familiar
with
them,
riding
with
them.
Drivers
and
pedestrians
dealing
with
them
on
the
street.
The
larger
Wheels
you're
able
to
roll
over
things
more,
the
center
of
gravity
you're
a
little
bit
lower
so
crashing
is,
is
a
little
bit
different
than
the
stand-up
scooter.
There's
some
data
behind
this
there's
not
too
much
crash
data
behind
this
on
really
what
the
difference
is,
but
in
terms
of
perception,
there's
definitely
both
a
rider
pedestrian
and
Driver
perception
that
sit
down
Vehicles
those
e-bike
sit-down
scooters
are
safer
than
stand-up
scooters.
O
I
can't
speak
much
to
that,
but
there's
been
there's
been
been
a
growing
concern
behind
that,
so
we
are
recommending
just
putting
and
writing
that
any
helmet.
Any
safety
equipment
given
out
by
these
operators
needs
to
be
authentically
authentically
decode,
as
defined
by
the
U.S
consumer
product
safety,
Commission.
O
Moving
on
over
to
parking
and
pedestrian
accessibility
issues,
I'll
just
skip
ahead,
So
speaking
about
designated
parking
Corrals
when
looking
at
what
other
cities
around
the
U.S
around
the
world
have,
how
have
they
mitigated
and
diminished
this
parking
clutter
problem
that
you
see
on
the
sidewalk.
The
main
response
is
designated
Corrals
for
scooters.
It
allows
the
scooters
to
be
in
a
confined
place.
We
can
still
use
existing
bike
racks
in
Bloomington,
but
adding
these
crowds
just
provides
a
space
for
these
shared
micro
vehicles
that
isn't
currently
there.
O
O
Studies
show
that
these
writers
and
cyclists
are
only
really
a
willing
to
walk
about
one
to
two
minutes
from
their
parking
spot
to
their
destination,
so
putting
them
in
these
high-use
areas.
That
would
be
mainly
the
core
downtown
area.
So
when
installing
them
in
the
downtown
or
other
high
use
areas,
the
frequency
of
them
is
important,
so
they
will
actually
be
used
effectively.
O
In
conjunction
with
these
Corrals,
what
cities
have
been
moving
towards?
Is
this
geofencing
technology?
What
that
is
essentially
is
these
operators
have
the
ability
to
code
certain
parking
areas?
So
if
you
are
rioting
and
you
want
to
get
somewhere,
you
cannot
actually
end
your
trip
on
the
app
unless
you
are
in
Within
These.
Certain
areas
in
those
certain
areas
are
appropriate
parking
locations,
being
parking
crowds
and
bike
racks.
O
The
after
picture
is
after
they
implemented
both
Corrals
and
geofencing
technology,
and
you
can
you
can
just
see
that
in
the
before
picture,
the
scooters
are
pretty
widely
dispersed,
but
in
the
after
picture
you,
you
can
just
see
the
congestion
of
them
in
those
certain
areas
that
they
are
required
to
park
in
the
only
I
would
say
negative
about
geofencing
technology.
Is
that
right
now?
It
is
not
that
accurate
that
accurate,
where
you
can
get
it
within
such
a
small
space.
O
So,
instead
of
geofencing
an
area
of
maybe
5
by
10
feet,
which
would
be
a
normal
size
for
a
parking
crowd,
he
would
have
to
geofence
it
to
maybe
20
or
30
feet
around
that
area
to
allow
those
Riders
to
end
the
ride
once
they
get
in
that
area,
but
combine
the
geofencing
technology
with
the
parking
Corrals.
It
has
helped
Cleveland
and
many
other
cities
mitigate
that
parking
accessibility
problem
that
we're
experiencing
right
now
in
Bloomington.
O
This
is
an
approach
that
vo,
especially
leaned,
towards
and
recommends
they
are
taking
the
the
approach
of
more
of
the
giving
a
carrot
to
the
riders
for
parking
properly
than
hitting
them
with
a
stick
for
not
essentially
what
this
is
is
when
a
rider
Parks,
an
appropriate
location,
that
being
a
parking
crowd
or
or
by
a
bike
rack.
The
writer
is
awarded
with
a
certain
Financial
incentive
that
being
maybe
a
couple
or
a
few
free
minutes
toward
their
next
ride
with
Vo
they
they
find
that
it
helps
change
the
behavior
more
long
term.
O
O
I
would
like
to
see
both
of
these
strategies
enacted
of
geofencing
and
incentivized
parking
to
see
which
one
works
better
in
Bloomington,
because
scooters
are
still
a
very
new
mode
of
transportation.
They've
only
been
around
for
about
five
years
or
so,
and
each
City,
while
dealing
with
the
same
problems,
has
come
up
with
certain
unique
unique
solutions
to
these
problems
and
it'd
be
interesting
to
see
which
one
which
of
these
strategies
works
better
in
Bloomington
and
then
reassessing
after
a
year.
O
Enforcing
vehicle
Fleet
caps
last
year
at
their
peak
time,
The
Operators
I,
believe
vo
had
about
450
Vehicles
deployed
lime
had
about
600
and
Bird
was
about
550
to
600
as
well
so
total
at
its
peak
time,
around
16
to
1700
vehicles
in
Bloomington.
O
We
are
recommending
lowering
that
to
400
vehicles
per
operator
and
also
I.
Think
I
mentioned
this
earlier,
but
right
now
vo
has
310
Vehicles
deployed
lime
has
500
and
bird
didn't
get
back
to
us
before
this
meeting,
but
I
think
they
also
have
around
500
so
they're,
not
at
their
peak
level
yet,
but
they
are
closing
in
on
it
as
the
weather
gets
warmer.
So
lowering
this
down
to
400
will
simply
just
reduce
the
unneeded
vehicles
around
Bloomington
one.
O
The
one
caveat
with
this
cap
is:
we
want
to
still
keep
enough
Vehicles
available
for
the
for
the
rider
base
if
ridership
does
explode
and
keep
growing,
especially
in
those
High
use
times
like
beginning
of
fall
semester
at
IU.
That's
when
we
see
by
far
the
highest
ridership
amount,
so
if
on
a
weekly
average,
the
number
of
trips
per
vehicle
per
day,
so
how?
How
many
times
is
a
single
vehicle
being
used?
O
If
that
surpasses
two,
they
will
be
able
to
increase
their
Fleet
size
with
approval
from
the
Board
of
Public
Works
right
now,
we're
really
only
seeing
that
2.0
being
surpassed
in
that
August
to
October
timeline
when
the
fall
semester
comes
back
in
full
form,
students
are
back,
weather's,
warm
and
then,
at
the
end
of
the
spring
semester,
usually
around
now
about
past
past
spring
break
to
the
end
of
the
beginning
of
May
into
the
semester.
O
O
One
important
topic
that
we
are
addressing
is
finding
operators
for
improperly
parked
vehicles,
so
all
touch
on
this
timeline
a
little
bit
more
in
a
second.
But
what
we're
thinking
for
as
a
timeline
is
having
these
Corrals
having
this
geofencing
technology,
all
these
recommendations
implemented
by
July
31st,
so
August
1st.
O
If
there
are
Vehicles
not
in
their
appropriate
places,
that
being
parking,
crowds,
bike,
racks
I,
might
be
missing
a
few
places,
but
those
are
the
main
places.
If
there
are
Vehicles
not
in
their
appropriate
parking
spots,
then
a
designated
city,
employer
contractor
I
think
you
all
heard
from
Public
Works
a
couple
weeks
ago
on
this.
If,
if
their
employees
are
going
around
and
they
find
vehicles
that
are
not
in
those
appropriate
spots,
we
will
We
may
and
we
will
assess
fines
to
The
Operators.
For
that.
O
And
lastly,
creating
special
protocols
for
major
events
and
by
major
events
where
we're
mainly
talking
about
IU
football
and
basketball
games.
When
there
there's
such
a
high,
highly
dense
crowd
going
to
one
location,
some
of
the
operators,
mainly
lime,
does
this
in
other
college
towns,
especially,
is
they
have
a
special
event
protocols
where,
while
IU
may
decide
to
geofence
the
entire
Athletic
Complex
area,
so
Riders
cannot
go
into
it.
O
There
will
still
be
Riders
going
to
that
area
to
travel
for
sporting
events
and
other
concerts
events
like
that,
so
they
have
these
protocols
in
place.
So
we
have
designated
parking
areas
there
for
large
amounts
of
shared
micro
vehicles,
and
then
they
will
also
have
a
staffer
on
site
to
help
with
any
problems.
If
somebody
drops
a
scooter
outside
of
its
place,
if
there
are
any
other
problems,
they
will
be
there
to
solve
them.
O
This
list
of
recommendations
really
pushes
Us
in
that
direction:
scooter
riders,
cyclists,
pedestrians
all
fall
under
that
umbrella
of
vulnerable
Street
users,
and
while
there
may
be
some
conflict
between
scooter
riders
on
the
sidewalk
versus
pedestrians
as
a
whole,
they
they're
all
part
of
that
sustainable
modes
of
transportation
group
and
things
like
leading
pedestrian
intervals
protected
intersections
do
right
on
red
intersections.
These
are
all
things
that
long-term
will
help
not
just
scooter
riders
safety
but
pedestrian
safety,
cyclist
safety
and
honestly,
when
talking
with
other
cities
on
how
they
are
dealing
with
these
problems.
O
That
would
be
wonderful
just
to
improve
the
aesthetic
nature
of
Bloomington
and
finally
Universal
charging
stations.
This
is
something
that's
starting
to
pop
up
around
the
U.S
and
just
looking
at
the
trend
of
electric
micro
Vehicles,
especially
e-bikes,
and
that
ridership
Trend
exploding
over
the
past
decade.
O
The
fact
that
it
is
the
fastest
growing
mode
of
transportation
in
the
U.S.
These
Universal
charging
stations
are
just
another
way
to
prioritize
these.
These
modes
of
travel,
because
right
right
now
at
least
they
continue
to
grow
and
it
doesn't
seem
like
they
will
they're
stopping
growing
anytime
soon.
O
Taking
a
look
at
the
next
steps,
what's
next
to
come,
I'll
be
giving
this
presentation
to
the
bicycle
and
pedestrian
safety
Commission
meeting
on
Monday
April
of
10th,
and
they
will
be
voting
on
whether
to
recommend
that
to
recommend
these
recommendations
to
the
Board
of
Public
Works.
Meeting
that,
following
day
on
April
11th,
the
Board
of
Public
Works,
will
hear
that
vote
on
that
and
but
whether
to
approve
these
recommendations
in
some
way
or
another.
O
Hopefully,
then,
in
mid-april,
we'll
be
working
on
implementing
these
recommendations.
The
how?
When
and
what
we're
doing.
With
these
again,
as
I
mentioned
before
July
31st,
we
are
looking
to
be
complete
completely
finished
with
the
implementation
period.
In
August
1st,
we
will
be
renewing
these
scooter
licenses
and
implementing
the
the
recommendations
as
mentioned
and
going
forward
with
that.
P
Well,
good
evening
for
the
record,
I'm
Kirk
white
I
serve
as
Vice
Provost
for
external
relations
at
Indiana
University.
It's
good
to
be
here
this
evening
back
in
this
room
and
I'm
joined
this
evening
by
my
colleague,
Paul
Schmidt,
Who's
chief
of
staff
at
our
office,
the
vice
president
for
a
finance
Administration,
which
is
the
arm.
That
is,
that
our
Public
Safety
folks
report
to
so
tonight.
P
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
talk
a
bit
about
these
this
this
process
we've
been
through
and
thank
Alex
Hank
and
many
other
members
of
the
city
Administration,
who
have
City
staff
who've
worked
with
us
over
the
past
few
months
to
come
up
with
the
recommendations
that
Alex
and
Hank
provided
a
few
minutes
ago.
P
We
really
appreciate
this
Cooperative
effort
because,
as
Alex
so
well
described,
last
fall
was
very
difficult
for
us
on
the
campus
to
lose
two
students
in
the
first
month
of
classes
is
devastating
for
us.
We
never
expect
that
sort
of
thing
to
happen
in
these
in
these
accidental
situations
that
we
look
at
and
say,
as
as
administrators,
charged
with
with
protecting
our
students
and
providing
a
good
environment.
P
What
what
can
we
do
to
avoid
this
and
that's
exactly
what
we
started
talking
with
the
city
about
and
found
out
that
the
city
as
Alex
outlined
top
priority
for
the
city
Administration,
as
well
as
for
Indiana
University?
Our
strongest
priority
is
for
the
safety
of
our
students,
faculty
and
staff,
and
then
second
is
a
stated
goal
of
the
university.
Is
the
promotion
of
these
multimodal
Alternatives
and
we've
done
several
things
at
the
campus
to
help
with
that
you're.
P
P
So
the
incentives
as
well
for
sit
down
e-bikes
is
another
really
good
thing:
to
provide
those
kind
of
incentives
for
the
for
the
companies
to
to
provide
a
safer
alternative.
We
think
that,
if
you
look
at
the
physics
of
the
whole
thing
falling
forward
on
a
scooter
is
a
lot
a
lot
easier
to
do
than
falling
forward
and
injuring
yourself
on
a
sit-down
bike.
It's
just
a
center
of
gravity,
so
that
would
those
incentives
are
really
good
direction
ahead
as
well.
P
We're
also
supporting
the
the
ability
to
do
these
Geographic
restrictions
geofencing,
as
noted,
particularly
in
our
Athletic
Complex,
during
a
high
impact
events,
particularly,
but
but
really
all
the
time
because
of
the
the
bus
circulation
that
we
have
in
the
parking
circulation
that
we
have
during
normal
business
hours
in
the
athletic
complex.
But
then,
during
athletic
events,
we
have
lots
of
different
traffic
direction
going
on
and
geofencing.
The
restrictions
in
that
area
is
a
good
direction
ahead
as
well.
P
P
Now,
there's
a
15
mile,
an
hour
maximum
speed,
but
that's
on
level
ground
and,
as
you've
noticed
I
sure
have
I've
seen
scooters
moving
a
lot
faster
than
that
going
downhill
and
if
you
happen
to
hit
a
hit
something
or
need
to
stop
quickly,
it's
difficult,
so
reducing
speeds
would
be
a
good
thing
and
then
finally,
the
discussion
about
education
efforts,
we
think,
is
one
of
the
most
important
pieces
in
all
this.
What
what
happens
in
August
is
we
have
this
new
influx
of
students,
they
see
an
electric
scooter
and
think
wow.
P
This
is
this
is
something
I
want
to
try,
but
it's
a
whole
lot
different
than
that,
one
that
they
may
have
had
when
they
were
six
or
seven
years
old.
It's
got
a
motor,
it
runs
it
it.
It
can
do
a
lot
more
than
what
you
had
to
do
when
you're
powering
this
with
your
left
foot,
and
so
they
they
jump
on,
take
off
and
without
the
right
kinds
of
Education
realizing
what
their
getting
themselves
into
before.
P
They
know
it
they're
in
a
situation
that
they
can't
control
and
end
up
in
an
accident,
so
education
making
the
incentives
for
that
partnering
with
the
companies
partnering
with
the
city.
We've
done
some
of
that
in
the
past,
making
sure
that
these
helmets
that
the
companies
provide
are
are
up
to
the
codes.
Those
are
all
things
we
want
to
partner
with
and
do
and
make
sure
that
happens
in
August
and
September
as
well.
P
H
May
I
we're
coming
close
to
eight
o'clock
May
move
to
extend
time
allowed
for
reports
from
the
Marin
city
offices
until
8
30.
A
E
D
H
To
extend
the
time
allowed
for
reports
in
the
Merit
city
offices
until
8
30.
B
C
H
B
G
A
F
A
E
This
can
be
for
Mr,
Duncan
or
Mr
Crowley
itis
I
wanted
to
ask:
how
much
does
it
cost
to
to
administer
this
program
for
the
city.
E
Well,
if
we're
going
to
do
enforcement
Etc,
including
some
of
them
I
I,
know,
are
longer
term
charging
stations
Etc,
but
I
mean
how
much
what's
the
ballpark
of
what
it's
going
to
cost
the
city
to
administer.
This.
L
So
there
are
going
to
be
hard
costs
and
soft
costs
right.
The
hard
costs
are
going
to
be
involve,
as
you
heard,
on
March
8th,
the
the
cost
of
deploying
people
out
to
that
those
congested
areas
and
there's
a
range
obviously,
depending
on
how
you
do
it
with
the
maybe
the
high
end
I
think
was
discussed
about
150
000.
If
you
went
to
a
third
party,
something
less
than
that,
if
you
bring
it
in-house,
there's
soft
costs.
L
So,
for
example,
we
were
recommending
we
are
recommending
the
ability
to
find
find
student
scooter
companies
if
there
is
a
violation
as
as
chronicled
by
one
of
those
assets.
L
There
is
a
staff
cost
to
doing
that
unless
we
Outsource
that
right.
So
either
we
absorb
that,
try
to
make
it
as
efficient
as
possible
just
to
absorb
it
and
staff
time
or
we
try
to
Outsource
that,
in
which
case
there's
a
hard
cost.
So.
E
So
the
next
question
that
I
need
to
ask
is
the
revenue
that
we
get
from
the
scooter.
Companies
per
annum
will
be
how
much.
L
Adequate
to
cover
that
you
know
there
are
a
couple
different
revenue
streams
right
now:
you've
got
a
fixed
fee.
You've
got
a
per
use
fee.
L
There
will
be
finding
Revenue,
which
is
sort
of
a
unfortunate
benefit
of
the
program,
so
there'll
be
revenues
coming
in
it's
a
little
hard
to
quantify
that.
But
if
you
look
at
the
violations
as
they
were
chronicled
in
the
first
part
of
the
pilot,
you
know
then
there'll
be
some
not
small
amount
of
Revenue
associated
with
that.
So
we
will
be
setting.
L
H
Yes,
well
Mr
Crowley.
H
Let's,
let's
begin
by
saying,
are
you
count
me
skeptical
because
originally
since
2019,
we
were
told
that
enforcement
that
infractions
would
be
remedied
by
fines
or
impoundment,
and
that
wasn't
the
case
despite
the
fact
that
these
scooters
were
blocking
sidewalks
for
for
that
time,
duration
for
a
very
long
time,
so
there's
the
enforcement
question
I'm
highly
skeptical
of
if
this
is
going
to
be
changing,
but
let's
just
focus
on
sustainability.
H
You
mentioned
it's
an
integral
part
of
our
transportation
system
and
I
wondered:
do
we
have
an
idea
of
the
average
ride?
What's
what's
the
what's?
What's
the
duration
of
the
ride?
Is
it?
Is
it
a
half
a
mile,
a
mile?
Is
it
because
what
I'm
trying
to
get
to
is,
you
know,
I
see
it's
implanting
walking
or
maybe
writing
public
transportation,
which
it
apparently
has.
We
maybe
have
some
data
for
that.
Could
could
you
just
ask
answer
what
what's
the
average
ride
do
we
know.
O
I,
don't
know,
but
the
average
ride
in
minutes
is
around
seven
minutes
or
so
and
just
in
terms
of
sustainability
as
a
whole.
There
was
a
study
done
in
Santa
Monica,
which
I
get
is
not
Bloomington,
but
there
was
a
study
done
there
on
what
is
the
actual
sustainable
benefit
of
scooters
versus
driving
your
car,
and
when
you
look
at
the
substitute,
the
substitutes
that
people
would
use
where
scooters
would
not
be
available
about
40
percent
would
be
driving,
whether
that's
driving
their
their
own
car
or
using
a
ride.
O
Hailing
service
surface
like
uber,
lift,
there's
another
large
proportion
who
would
bike
or
a
walk
or
talk
or
take
public
transit,
but
on
average
each
ride
saves
about
350
grams
of
carbon
emissions
and
it
will
it
does
reduce
vehicle
miles
travel.
But
but
again,
that's
a
great
question
of
how
sustainable
is
it,
but
on
average
it
is
much
more
sustainable
than
driving
a
car.
Well.
H
H
But
what
my
understanding
is
is
that
the
Disposable
nature
of
these
things
is
pretty
alarming.
In
other
words,
they
have
an
average
lifespan
of
one
to
five
months.
I
understand
so
they
don't
last
very
long
because
they're
so
subject
to
the
elements,
rain,
water,
Etc,
freezing
and
so
so
forth.
It
it
destroys
the
the
mechanism,
so
it's
not
cared
for.
It's
meant
to
be
disposable
by
then
the
company
makes
a
profit.
Do
we
know
where
the
lithium
battery
goes.
H
H
So
this
is
something
that's
concerning
I,
don't
think
they're
sustainable,
but
thank
you
for
addressing
my
question.
F
I'm,
a
little
one,
one
I
mean
I'm
agnostic
on
the
presentation
as
a
whole,
but
one
slide
that
struck
me
was
the
change
in
time
from
8
pm
to
11
pm
in
March,
now
Daylight
Savings,
Time
Springs
forward
in
the
middle
of
March.
So
there's
at
least
two
three
weeks:
we're
in
that
period
right
now,
where
I'm
trying
to
think
so
we
Spring
Forward.
So
that
means
it
would
be
suddenly
much
lighter,
but
it
would
still
be
dark
significantly.
I
mean
it
would
be
Mr
White's
concern
about
Dust
to
Dawn.
F
L
L
You
know
what
I
we
were
trying
to
do
is
really
point
out.
As
Mr
White
said
you
know
in
a
perfect
world,
they
would
stop
working
when
the
Sun
goes
down.
Well,
that's
a
moving
Target
and
it's
it's
impossible
to
operationalize
that
into
a
into
a
technology.
So
so
it's
really
just
to
pick
fixed
times,
try
to
simplify
it
for
the
user,
so
you're
not
trying
to
guess
every
month
what
the
new
hour
is
and
just
make
it
simple.
Okay,.
F
C
Throughout
this
report,
we're
hearing
a
lot
about
the
safety
issues
which
are
concerning,
and
mostly
the
writers
I
suspect,
are
IU
students.
We
all
want
to
keep
them
safe,
but
I'm
not
hearing
as
much
about
The
Pedestrian
issues,
and
these
are
the
things
that
we
as
Council
people
here,
the
most
from
our
constituent
meetings
about
the
Clutter,
the
sidewalks
that
are
now
not
accessible
to
people
when
in
who
have
mobility.
C
So
what
can
we
say
about
The,
Business
of
Being,
tougher
with
impoundment
and
just
getting
them
off
the
street
if
you're
parked
in
an
inappropriate
way
and
you're
blocking
an
ADA
ramp,
you're
blocking
a
sidewalk?
Where
is
the
will
to
just
say
this
is
a
violation
and
we're
taking
it
and
we're
impounding
it
somewhere,
and
if
the
scooter
companies
want
them
back,
they're
going
to
have
to
pay
for
them,
I
mean
I
I'm.
C
Just
wanting
to
know
can
we
get
tougher
while
still
protecting
those
who
still
want
to
ride
them
and
need
to
ride
them
I?
What,
throughout
the
presentation,
too
I'm
hearing
that
the
vios
that
are
the
e-bikes
and
the
ones
you
can
sit
on
are
more
safe.
So
why
not
be
tougher
with
that
and
say
the
stand-up
ones?
Let's
just
ban
them
all
together
and
keep
the
ones
that
are
safer
for
everybody
in
play,
but
speak
specifically
to
the
pedestrians
that
we're
hearing
from
they're
very
upset
about
this
and.
L
Hopefully
made
it
clear
that
there
are
in
fact
a
lot
of
what
we
talked
about
and
is
designed
for
The
Pedestrian
right.
It's
designed
to
clear
the
sidewalks.
L
If
you
find
again,
especially
in
those
congested
areas
where
you
have
the
greatest
amount
of
contention,
you
are
able
to
get
a
majority
of
the
benefit
of
the
stick
on
the
ultimately
the
scooter
company
via
the
rider
the
cost
of
impounding,
which
seems
like
it's.
Not
it's,
not
a
lack
of
willingness.
There's
an
operational
cost
to
all
of
that
shipping.
You
know
you
have
people
out
there.
They
are
no
longer
just
fixing
a
problem.
They
are
now
responsible
for
taking
that
problem
away.
L
Storing
that
problem,
you
have
the
administration's
administrative
side
of
of
and
costs
associated
with.
With
you
know,
tracking
the
devices
you
know
getting
fine
money
back
all
that
stuff
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
operational
side.
So
what
we
tried
to
do
is
say
we
are
not
at
all,
hesitant
in
in
penalizing
offending
scooter
companies
and
Riders.
But
the
way
to
do
it
we
feel
is
to
do
it
in
the
most
cost
effect
away
from
the
city's
perspective,
which
is
the
fine,
so
we
we
intend
to
find.
C
I
Yes,
I
want
to
thank
Mr,
Crowley,
Mr,
Duncan
and
Mr
White
for
working
together
collaboratively
on
this
proposal,
but
I
must
say.
I
After
almost
three
years
after
we
passed
laws
governing
the
use,
and
particularly
the
parking
of
these
vehicles.
To
now
hear
you
say,
you're
going
to
start
finding
where
we
all
know
that
there
have
been
massive
violations
throughout
the
community
is,
does
not
generate
much
confidence
in
me
and
I.
Don't
want
to
blame
anybody
in
particular,
I
think
perhaps
in
the
the
city
there
has
been.
I
Perhaps
I
can
only
assume
that
there
has
been
a
lack
of
willingness
on
behalf
of
the
mayor
to
actually
enforce
the
laws
that
this
Council
has
passed,
and
that
is
unacceptable
to
me.
I
So
I
appreciate
your
recommendations,
but
let
us
just
review
some
of
the
things
in
the
ordinance
that
we
passed
that
have
been
ignored
by
the
executive
branch
as
far
as
enforcement
they're
supposed
to
be
a
penalty
of
the
twenty
dollars,
a
fine
of
twenty
dollars
for
users,
a
possible
fine
of
up
to
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
for
the
scooter
companies
and,
of
course,
lack
of
renewal
of
their
licenses.
I
As
a
consequence
of
violating
this
chapter
and
this,
the
companies
were
supposed
to
have
public
Outreach
events
were
supposed
to
give
away
helmets
at
any
time.
You
know
that
would
be
available
at
any
time,
not
just
special
events
and,
of
course
the
parking
was
supposed
to
be
somewhere
where
the
scooter
cannot
fall
over.
It's
not
supposed
to
block
sidewalks,
there's
supposed
to
be
54
inches
available
on
the
sidewalks
to
pass.
I
It
says
under
no
circumstance
shall
motorized
scooters
be
parked
so
as
to
impede
accessibility
under
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act.
Well,
we
know
just
by
walking
around
downtown
and
by
the
advocacy
of
people
like
Chuck
Livingston,
that
this
is
violated
constantly
so
I
guess.
My
question
is
prior
to
this
point:
have
there
been
any
fines
either
for
users
or
the
any
repercussions
for
the
scooter
companies.
L
For
starters,
let
me
remind
you
that
the
ordinance
went
in
place
in
2019
and,
as
I
mentioned
in
my
opening
remarks,
there
were
two
years
effectively
you're
going
to
have
effectively
of
a
pandemic
right,
no
students
very
few,
if
any
scooters
out
there,
so
there
was
kind
of
you
know
we.
We
should
also
remember
that
that
in
fact,
there's
kind
of
a
compression
of
our
experience,
both
with
and
without
the
scooters
that
we
just
have
to
recognize
and
the
interval
that
you're
describing
the
short
answers.
There
have
not
been
fines.
L
That
is
not
a
you
know.
Lack
of
awareness
of
what
the
options
are.
That's
why
we're
coming
to
you
today
with
the
ability
and
and
desire
to
find
there
have
not
been
impounding
behaviors
either
and
that's
always
on
the
table,
but
we're
not
recommending
that
right
now
and
then
the
education
side
of
of
Rider
safety
has
occurred.
That's
part
of
the
exercise
of
submitting
a
license.
They
are
certifying
that
they've
done
that
to
fulfill
their
license,
obligation
that
has
occurred
in
the
cases
of
the
renewals.
L
So
that's
where
we
are-
and
you
know,
I
think
it's
it's
it's
a
good
time
for
us
to
be
imposing
this
kind
of
set
of
recommendations,
because
we'll
now
be
able
to
see
with
the
effect
of
it
moving
forward.
We'll
need
some
time
to
implement
it,
but
we'll
see
the
effect
of
it.
Moving
forward.
A
I
D
G
Thank
you,
you
just
said
not
to
find
it's
not
a
lack
of
awareness
since
the
time
we've
been
doing
all
this
and
we've
brought
this
up
about
the
lack
of
fines
before
and
why
we
weren't
and
we
put
enforcement
people.
We
did
some
stuff
already.
G
G
L
I
mean
I
think
the
short
answer
is
this,
which
is,
we
have
always
been
aware
of
the
fact
that
the
ordinance
allows
for
it.
You
know
to
some
degree,
that
the
Board
of
Public
Works
allows
for
mechanisms
to
find
and
that
the
opportunity
was
there
to
do
it.
What
we
were
hoping
to
do
and
and
hoping
to
see,
was
what
we
saw
following
the
initial
launch
of
the
scooter
operators
to
begin
with,
which
is,
it
was
a
bit
of
a
free-for-all,
the
market
stabilized,
and
then
there
was
a
much
more
kind
of
controlled.
L
You
know
deployment.
What
we
were
hoping
to
see
was
that
the
combination
of
Rider
Education,
you
know,
operators
talking
to
their
own
riders.
That
would
have
a
positive
effect
on
the
behavior
of
individuals.
Writing
I
should
note
that
the
violations
are
not
the
scooter
companies
themselves,
placing
scooters
inappropriately,
with
very
few
exceptions.
They
are
the
Riders
of
those
companies
who
have
not
clearly
internalized
the
direction
that
they're
getting
to
be
able
to
place
the
scooters
in
the
right
place
at
the
end
of
the
ride.
L
So,
fundamentally,
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
penalize
the
operator
to
be
able
to.
You
know,
get
them
to
do
a
better
job
of
educating
their
Riders,
and
we
have
to
see
if
that's
going
to
work.
But
the
idea
leading
up
to
this
point
was
that
we
were
trusting
and
hoping
that
the
The
Operators
themselves
would
do
a
better
job
to
educate
their
Riders,
which
clearly
they
haven't,
succeeded
in
doing
right.
G
Three
four
years
later,
they
have
not
I
would
agree
three
or
four
years
later.
They
have
not
that's
right.
Yeah,
we'll
agree
with
that,
and
has
there
been
pushback
on
on
the
University
or
what
Mr
White
talked
about
Dusk
to
Dawn?
G
L
Yeah,
as
I
was
explaining,
there's
a
kind
of
operational
problem
tracking
what
dusk
means,
because,
literally
what
will
happen
is
that
scooter?
You
will
not
be
able
to
ride
the
scooter
following
the
cutoff
point,
and
so
what
you
have
to
do
is
kind
of
make
sure
that
technologically,
you
can
execute
on
that.
The
operator,
the
scooter
operators,
and
so
rather
than
having
ever-changing
time
that
may
or
may
not
even
be
registered
in
the
device
like
the
device
doesn't
know
if
the
sun
is
shining
or
not.
What
we
will
recommend.
L
G
Okay,
it
just
seems
like
it
should
be
more
simple
than
that.
Hell
I'll
pull
out
my
phone
right
now
and
tell
you
when
it's
when
the
sun
is
going
to
set
when
it's
going
to
rise.
You
know
tell
you:
if
it's
going
to
rain
when
I
want
to
go
play
golf,
how
can
how
difficult
can
it
be
for
the
operators
and
and
it's
not
going
to
be
dark
like
light
dark?
G
G
L
Our
sword
to
say
it
must
absolutely
be
a
APM.
What
we
are
saying
is
we
absolutely
agree
with
the
university.
The
at
that
number
one
safety
is
a
top
priority.
That
number
two
simulating,
if
not
actually
delivering
a
dustodon
blackout
period
is
the
objective,
how
we
do
that
we'll
come
down
to
the
capabilities
to
some
extent
of
the
of
the
scooter
operators,
but
we
are
all
saying
I
think
we're
all
aligning
on
the
same
basic
principle
here:
okay,.
G
My
whole
thing
is
safety
and
and
and
blocking
accessibility
and
we've
been
talking
about
that
I,
don't
know
if
you
get
the
emails
that
we
all
get
I
hope
you
do
I
do
we
get
tons
of
them
and
I
also
want
to
say
I
understand
the
highest
uses
downtown
toward
campus
I
didn't
hear
you
mention
College
Mall
area.
Is
that
a
high
ride,
usage
or
high?
G
G
L
No
I
think
there
are
a
variety
of
different
high-use
areas
and
we,
you
know
we
have
some
of
that
data,
so
we
know
where
they
are.
It
does
become
I
think
if
you're
referring
to
deploying
Personnel
to
correct
and
and
discover
violations,
there's
a
diminishing
return
at
a
certain
point
in
terms
of
the
density
of
the
usage,
and
so
you
just
have
to
know
kind
of
where
that
is
and
where
the
line
is
and
and
then
figure
out.
L
If
you
want
to
send
people,
even
though
it's
inefficient
to
do
that
or
not
and
I
think
we
just
have
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
The
pilot
was
implemented
in
the
downtown,
primarily
I
think
it
was
10th
and
third
Morton
and
Indiana,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
so
certainly
concentrated
into
the
kind
of
broadly
defined
downtown.
But
it
doesn't
have
to
be
limited
to
that
right.
G
The
education
part
too,
when
they
were
first
deployed
I,
think
down
by
the
library
lime
had
these
set
up
and
people
were
riding
it
and
testing
it
or
putting
helmets
on
them
and
teaching
them
stuff,
and
these
sorts
of
things
when
we're
talking
about
education
is
that
what
we're
talking
about
now
or
or
this
little
card
that
I
saw
up
there
and
put
on
your
helmet?
How
many
people
you
see
with
a
helmet?
We
can
put
it
on
that
card
all
day
long
and
then
it's
not
enforced.
G
It's
like
we
can
recommend
I
mean
that
that's
part
of
the
terminology
that
I'm
hearing-
and
none
of
that
is
concrete,
I
I
guess,
is
what
I'm
saying
so
we're
going
to
have
to
do
a
year
test
to
prove
that
not
wearing
a
helmet
will
cause
you
trips
unnecessarily
trips
to
the
emergency
department,
I
mean
I,
don't
know
whose
job
it
is
to
say.
You
will
wear
a
helmet,
I,
don't
know,
and.
L
L
There
comes
a
point
where
I'm
sure
my
children
have
not
always
made
the
right
decisions,
and
so
I
I
guess
what
I
would
what
I
would
say
is
certainly
a
couple
of
tenting
events
does
not
equate
an
adequate
amount
of
Education
of
your
of
your
ridership,
which
is
why
some
of
the
quizzes,
some
of
the
other
things
that
IU
is
doing
in
terms
of
educating
the
ridership
and
something
that
you
know
what
we
need
the
the
The
Operators
to
do
to
up
their
game.
L
That
does
constitute
at
least
A
Better
Effort
now
will
it
mean
that
every
writer
will
be
riding
with
a
helmet?
I
would
not
bet
on
that,
but
I
do
think
that
we
can
make
inroads
and
I
think
if
we
you
know,
if
we
see
that
not
changing,
we
should
always
be
evaluating
that
I.
Do
think
that
and
I
don't
remember
who
it
was
that
was
talking.
L
Oh
I
think
it
was
Kurt
was
talking
about
the
Razer
scooters
right
and
that
we
that
our
kids
had
when
when
they
were
growing
up,
they
had
helmets
because
the
parents
were
kind
of
forcing
them
to
do
that
right.
What
I?
What
I
think
is
going
to
happen
and
we'll
have
we'll
have
to
see
if
this
happens
is
that
over
time,
people
will
will
start
to
see
these
devices
less
as
Novelties
and
more
as
kind
of
critical
Transportation
devices
for
themselves
and
like
with
bikes
that
people
would
start
to
take.
L
You
know
helmet
precautions,
much
more
seriously,
we'll
see
if
that
happens,
but
in
the
meantime
what
we
can
do
is
we
can
try
to
do
everything
we
can
to
push
the
operators
and
also
ourselves
to
educate
the
ridership
to
try
to
make
sure
that
they
change
their
behavior.
G
Q
You
and
thank
you
all
for
the
presentations
tonight.
It
really
feels
like
a
lot
of
research
and
data
went
into
that.
Just
sticking
to
the
helmet
topic
are
there?
Do
any
other
cities
offer
any
incentives
for
helmet,
ridership
I
I
mean
I,
don't
know
how
that
could
work
exactly,
but
you
know
is
there
any
way
that
you
could
prove
that
you're
wearing
a
helmet
and
or
have
it
with
you,
because
I
almost
think
like
part
of
the
barrier,
is
just
like
hauling
a
helmet
around
with
you
sometimes.
Q
Okay,
that
sounds
pretty
neat.
Then
I
wanted
to
talk
just
a
little
bit
about
okay,
the
e-bike
option
and
I
know.
We
don't
have
that
many
right
now
right,
so
we
used
to
have
regular
I
guess,
like
manual
bikes
as
a
bike
share
and
that
didn't
go
very
well
in
Bloomington,
so
they
went
away.
O
That
is
a
great
question.
That's
really
why
we
stuck
with
that
25
amount
for
2023,
where
some
stakeholders
were
wanting
more
something
like
50
50
sit
down,
vehicles
and
stand-up
scooters,
The
Operators
were
saying
or
kind
of
on
the
other
side
saying:
look
the
Market's
there
for
stand-up
scooters.
Why
are
we
changing
this?
Why
are
we
forcing
Riders
to
change
which
I
think?
That
is
a
valid
point,
so
that's
why
at
least
for
2023
we're
sticking
with
that
number
and
then
we'll
reassess.
Maybe
the
ridership
is
still
there.
O
Maybe
it
is
dropping
because
looking
at
past
dockless
shared
micro,
Mobility
systems
until
the
scooters
came
in
about
2018
it
was
Bike.
Share
programs
were
growing,
but
not
nearly
at
the
growth
rate
that
these
scooter
programs
are
so
it
seems
like
there.
There
was
and
is
a
market
to
fill
with
scooters
specifically,
but
again,
it's
not
the
city's
job
necessarily
to
fill
a
market
and
see
where
revenue
is
it's
to
protect
the
interests
of
our
residents
and
the
safety
of
them.
Q
In
with
the
sit
on
scooters,
like
the
Vos,
do
those
cost
more
to
operate
than
the
stand
up?
Okay,
so
everything
is
the
same
from
every
company
I
believe
so,
no
matter
what
you're
writing?
Okay
question
about
the
geofencing
I?
What?
How
does
it
work
when
you
ride
a
scooter
or
a
sit-down
scooter
home?
So.
O
That's
something
that
I'm
not
too
familiar
with
honestly,
and
that
is
a
main
question
I
have
of
when
we
start
to
implement
these
recommendations
in
geofencing
Technologies.
How
do
we
deal
with
those
less
used
areas
where
there
might
not
be
a
bike
rack
in
your
in
your
neighborhood,
or
it
might
not
be
a
specific
Corral
in
your
neighborhood,
because
we
still
want
to
allow
residents
to
use
this
mode
of
transportation
without
the
fear
of
having
to
walk
an
extra
10
or
15
minutes
just
to
find
an
appropriate
place
to
park.
Q
Right
that
makes
sense
or
leave
a
scooter
and
then
have
to
walk
in
I,
don't
know
an
unsafe
area,
absolutely
okay
and
then
a
question
about
that
data.
You
were
saying
at
the
at
the
end
there
about
sort
of
the
environmental
impacts
of
scooter,
ridership
and
I.
Think.
Were
you
saying,
40
percent?
Were
you
saying
this
was
a
Santa
Monica
so.
O
That
was
the
number
that
Santa
Monica
used.
There
was
also
a
survey
done
in
2019
in
Bloomington
that
had
to
do
with
e-scooter
usage
and
substitutes
with
that
and
I
forget
the
exact
number,
but
it
was
around
that
40
to
45
percent
number.
If
scooters
were
not
available,
they
would
have
driven
or
taken
a
ride.
Hailing
service
like
lifter
Uber.
J
First,
just
great
job
on
the
presentation,
all
I
appreciate
all
the
work.
That's
gone
into.
This
I've
been
a
proponent
of
geofencing
for
some
time
and
I'm
hopeful
that
that
is
one
of
the
systemic
changes
we
need
to
address.
Some
of
the
challenges.
I
also
appreciate
the
focus
on
systemic
issues
around
safety
with
regard
to
all
users
in
all
modes
and
understanding
that
this
is
part
of
a
broader
picture
of
you
know
needing
protected
intersections,
leading
pedestrian
intervals.
Etc
I
wanted
to
follow
up
on
the
sustainability
Point
as
well.
J
Recent
independent
assessments
have
shown
life
cycles
at
about
five
years,
which
leads
to
carbon
emissions
below
basically
every
other
mode,
including
Transit,
and
that's
those
were
conducted
with
bird
scooters
in
Europe
by
independent
bodies
and
I
wondered
if
we
had
specific
data
from
the
companies
themselves,
independent
assessments
of
like
their
latest
generation.
I,
think.
The
point
my
colleague
was
making
earlier
is
that
in
the
very
first
days
of
scooters,
there
were
some
learning
curves
with
respect
to
how
to
make
them
durable
to
Shared
use
and
how
to
make
them
refurbishable.
J
O
No
and
I
think
councilmember
all
have
made
a
great
Point
earlier
with
about
the
live
cycle
of
scooters
in
this,
in
the
sustainability
with
that
so
far,
Lyman
bird
are
more
familiar
with
those
two
operators,
I
think
they're
already
on
their
third
or
fourth
generation
of
scooters
already,
which
has
increased
life
cycle.
That
is
a
question.
I
can
ask
them
and
get
back
to
you
with,
because
that's
a
question
I
think
we
all
have
in
terms
of
defining
the
true
sustainability
of
these
modes.
A
Thank
you.
We
are
coming
up
on
8,
30
and
I'll
finish
or
I'll
defer
to
Mr
I'm.
L
Sorry
to
interrupt
I
just
wanted
to
add
one
other
thing
to
the
to
the
idea,
which
is
you
know,
one
of
the
major
pivots
that
they've
done
is
to
rather
than
if
you
remember
early
on,
they
pulled
all
of
the
scooters
at
night
drove
God
knows
how
how
far
charged
him
drove
a
Mac
right.
None
of
that
was,
and
so
they're
all
kind
of
pivoting
over
to
more
of
a
swap
out
battery
a
much
more
tactical
approach.
L
F
Month,
I'm
going
to
say
very
briefly
that
I'm
seeing
a
pattern
tonight
between
the
comments
of
the
mayor
and
now
here
where
the
administration
seems
to
be
selectively.
Enforcing
laws
passed
by
the
council
and
I
am
greatly
greatly
concerned
about
it,
I
the
things
that
I
heard
from
councilmember
Sims
and
councilor
Piedmont
Smith
discouraged
me
from
trusting
the
administration
in
future
matters
and
I
just
wanted
to
get
that
out
before
our
deadline.
Thank
you
may.
L
I
respond
to
that
very
briefly:
I
think
you,
with
all
due
respect,
councilmember
volan
a
if
you
read
the
ordinance
the
ordinance
reserves
the
right
to
find
reserves
the
right
to
do
some
of
these
other
things
does
not
mandate
it
and
so
to
characterize
it
as
allowing
sort
of
not
fulfilling
on
the
obligations
of
of
the
ordinance.
I
I
would
argue,
is
an
incorrect
way
to
characterize
it.
It
allowed
for
it.
We
are
now
pursuing
that.
That's
a
very
different
thing
that
we've
said:
if.
F
A
We
are
up
against
the
8
30
time
we
agreed
to
stop
and
I
am
not
seeing
an
additional
motion
to
extend
time.
Okay,
I
I
didn't
get
a
turn.
So
so
no
that's!
Okay!
So
may
we
send
you
additional
questions
in
writing.
What
are
next
steps?
Could
you
summarize
that
very
briefly,
yes,.
L
So
please
do
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
feedback
already
from
Council
Members
we'd
like
to
get
more
we'd
like
to
get
more
on
the
memo
that
that
you
received
last
week
and-
and
you
know
certainly
please
send
those
through
it-
would
be
Our
intention
to
proceed
with
the
Board
of
Public
Works
to
get
their
feedback
and
review
of
the
recommendations
on
the
11th,
11,
11th
and
so
the
sooner
the
better,
but
certainly
along
the
way,
and-
and
you
know,
as
Hank
said
and
as
I
may
have
said-
also
keep
in
mind.
L
This
is
this
is
a
very
fluid
and
manageable
process.
So
you
know
if
they're
things
that
we
learn
during
the
the
course
of
the
implementation
of
some
of
these
recommendations.
We
want
to
Implement
more
changes.
We
do
that's
why
it
was
set
up
the
way
it
was
through
Board
of
Public
Works.
We
came
to
you
today
really
to
highlight
the
recommendations
that
we
have
and
hope
to
get
your
additional
feedback
on
them
before
we
go
forward.
A
Mr
Crowley
Mr
Duncan
Mr
White.
Thank
you
for
being
with
us
this
evening,
but
I
know
there
are
several
members
of
the
public
here
who
have
comments
on
cbci
and
scooters.
That's
coming
up
so
we're
not
leaving
scooters
necessarily.
Are
there
any
reports
from
Council
committees
seeing
none
will
come
into
our
first
of
two
periods
of
public
comment.
Can
I
see
a
show
of
hands
and
Chambers
of
how
many
would
like
to
offer
comment
one
two,
three
Mr
four
Mr
Lucas.
Could
you
extend
our
invitation
on
Zoom?
Please.
N
Yes,
if
there
are
members
of
the
public
on
Zoom
that
would
like
to
speak,
please
use
the
raise
hand
feature
to
let
us
know
you
can
find
that
in
your
control
bar
by
clicking
the
reactions
button
or
the
more
button.
If
you
can't
locate
that
raise
hand
feature,
please
send
us
a
chat
and
we
can
recognize
you
that
way.
I
do
see
one
hand
raised
on
Zoom
at
the
moment.
A
A
N
A
Asked
to
display
yes,
Miss
music,
welcome
if
you
could
confirm
your
name
for
the
record,
please
and
then
you'll
have
five
minutes.
Yes,
my.
S
I
would
like
to
make
a
quick
request.
I
am
planning
on
presenting
my
research
slide,
so
I'd
like
to
remind
the
council
that
the
reason
any
kind
of
safety
reform
around
East
Coast
is
even
happening.
Right
now
is
because
of
my
work
and
the
email
I
sent
out
months
ago,
and
so
with
that
in
mind,
I'd
also
like
to
bring
up
that.
S
My
work
was
just
quoted
actually
in
the
guideline
presentation,
but
right
after
it
was
misinformation
which
is
not
okay
and
needs
to
be
cleared
up,
and
so
I
would
like
more
than
five
minutes
to
go
through
my
slides
and
clear
that
up.
If
that's
okay,.
A
S
All
right
I
will
go
through
the
quickest
highlights
of
what
I
have
all
right.
So
this
study
on
this
slide
I
analyzed
data
from
180
clinics
and
two
hospitals
in
La
of
the
1
354
East
scooter
injuries
identified,
two
patients
died.
The
study
found
an
estimate
of
115
injuries
per
million
e-scooter
trips,
and
it
was
noted
to
likely
be
an
underestimate.
This
is
higher
than
walking
riding
in
a
car,
a
bicycle
and
motorcycles.
S
At
this
point,
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
that
these
things
are
scattered
all
over
the
city
and
I
use
campus
to
be
accessed
at
any
time
in
any
scenario
by
college
students
who
don't
have
helmets
a
higher
injury
rate
than
motorcycles.
Okay,
next
slide,
please
this
next
slide.
This
next
study
is
very
recent.
Coming
out
in
the
last
month
it
was
conducted
by
the
center
for
Toronto
Sciences
at
Queen
Mary
University
of
London.
It
was
published
by
the
British
medical
journal.
It
was
a
nationwide
study.
S
It
found
that
East
scooter
writers
were
more
likely
to
be
admitted
to
a
major
Trauma,
Center
or
Critical
Care
Unit
than
cyclists
at
a
whopping
60
percent
compared
to
47.
It
was
also
found
that
these
scooter
riders
were
typically
younger
than
cyclists.
As
a
reminder,
e-scooter
companies
mainly
profit
off
the
business
of
college
students,
and
this
is
why
they
primarily
Target
campuses
to
unload
their
scooters
onto
next
slide.
Please.
S
These
are
studies
that
go
over
East,
good
or
restriction.
Attempts
much
like
the
ones
being
proposed
today.
One
study
covered
the
effects
of
banning
scooters
at
night.
That
study
found
that
this
band
had
no
significant
effects.
The
other
study
covered
restrictions
in
Oslo,
which
included
restricted
hours
and
a
reduction
in
Fleet
size
from
20
000
scooters
to
2667
scooters
per
company.
This
resulted
in
a
decrease
of
these
good
or
injuries
by
almost
50
percent,
showing
that
the
only
way
to
get
rid
of
you
scooter
injuries
is
by
getting
rid
of
e-scooters
next
slide.
S
Please
now
I
want
to
talk
to
you
guys
about
the
specific
guideline
that
was
proposed
and
why
it's
there,
because
I
am
the
reason
that
it's
there
next
slide.
Please
lime
offers
no
details
about
their
helmets
from
giveaways
anywhere
online.
This
is
a
picture
I
found
on
eBay
next
slide.
Please,
by
going
through
import
records,
I
found
that
in
September
of
2022
Neutron
Holdings,
which
is
lime,
received
a
shipment
of
helmets
from
Moon
helmet
International
upon
visiting
Moon
helmet's
website
a
helmet
model,
the
mtv-12
can
be
found.
S
It
is
identical
to
the
lime
combat,
which
means
that
this
is
the
model
they
ordered
next
slide.
Please
I
emailed
the
company
at
the
email
list
on
the
website
and
requested
a
cpsc
certificate
for
the
mtv-12
which
they
are
required
to
have
on
file.
They
gave
me
a
PDF
of
a
cpsc
certificate,
a
couple
hours
after
my
email.
The
document
appeared
to
be
a
genuine
certificate
from
Intertech,
which
is
a
well-established
company
with
Testing
Laboratories
internationally.
S
S
S
This
is
an
example
of
the
results
that
came
up
and
the
the
address
that
was
given
in
that
PDF
is
is
not
an
address
of
a
legitimate
testing
site
which
proves
that
it
was
a
fake
certificate
which
means
that
these
helmets
are
not
cpsc
certified
next
slide,
please
it
is
a
prohibited
act.
Under
section
19
of
the
cpsa
to
offer
for
sale,
distribute
and
commerce
are
important
to
the
United
States,
a
bicycle
helmet.
That
does
not
mean
one
of
the
interim
standards
under
16
CFR
1203.
S
It
was
illegal
for
Lyme
to
import
into
the
United
States
and
give
away
these
helmets
because
they
are
not
cpsc
certified
bike
helmets.
To
reiterate
this
was
illegal.
I
sent
this
information
to
several
individuals
from
both
the
city
and
IU
and
was
able
to
stop
the
helmet
giveaways
before
the
third
day.
S
In
the
news,
it
said
that
this
happened
because
one
inspected
a
label
inside
the
helmet
says
not
for
use
in
motor
vehicles,
but
the
truth
is
these
helmets
weren't
even
expected
inspected
until
I
warned
officials
about
what
I
found
if
the
city's
response
to
a
company
illegally
handing
out
unsafe
helmets
to
your
own
Community
is
slapping
their
wrists
with
a
guideline
that
says:
don't
do
that
again.
I
am
just
baffled.
It
is
clear
not
only
that
these
vehicles
are
inherently
unsafe,
but
the
companies
behind
them
do
not
care
about
the
community
safety.
S
One
bit
next
slide.
Please
now
to
get
into
why
we're
seeing
such
high
injury
rates,
we
actually
have
to
look
at
the
stability
and
physics
of
the
vehicles
themselves.
Bicycles
have
large
inflated
Wheels
the
fact
that
they're
inflated
improves
their
suspension,
which
improves
stability
and
the
fact
that
they're
large
allows
for
them
to
go
over
obstacles
and
potholes
on
the
road
with
ease
compared
to
e-cooters
that
have
small,
tires
and
airless
tires,
which,
by
the
way
they
keep
airless,
because
it
is
cheaper
and
easier
to
maintain,
even
though
it's
not
as
safe
next
slide.
S
S
It's
also
worth
noting
that
the
rider
position
plays
a
huge
role
in
bicycles.
You
are
seated,
you
are
low
to
the
ground
and
there
is
minimal
variation
Rider
position
in
e-scooters.
You
are
standing
you're,
sending
your
center
of
gravity
is
much
higher
and
there
is
a
lot
of
variation
in
brighter
position
now.
This
is
the
part
that
I
did
hear
quoted
in
the
other
guideline
presentation,
but
it
was
framed
as
if
this
is
a
thing.
That
is
just
a
perception.
It
is
not
just
a
perception.
S
There
are
plenty
of
studies
and
plenty
of
data
backing
up
the
fact
that
e-scooters
are
more
dangerous
than
bicycles,
and
the
biggest
reason
is
because,
due
to
the
structure
on
bicycles,
you
are
more
likely
to
have
a
lateral
Hall,
which
is
a
fall
where
your
arm
or
your
leg
is
more
likely
to
be
impact,

in

are
a

more
likely
to
be
thrown
over

handlebars.
A
A
T
Name's
Mark
Hagerty
today,
I
found
out
is
Vietnam
Veterans,
Day
and
I'm.
A
Vietnam
veteran
and
I'd
like
to
ask
if
there's
anything
that
you
all
could
possibly
do
in
the
audience
too,
to
give
aging
Dental
to
give
aging
veterans,
Dental
Care
veterans,
don't
get
dental
care
and
people
that
are
I'm
going
on
75
now
and
people,
my
age
are
losing
their
teeth
and
the
infections
spread
to
their
body,
and
many
older
veterans
are
dying
that
way
because
they
can't
get
any
Dental
Care.
T
So
all
of
you
who
may
be
listening
within
this
realm,
please
give
aging
veterans,
Dental,
Care,
okay,
I,
read
I'm
reading
here
heroic
principle
ditched
her
Zoom
call
and
rushed
straight
for
the
Nashville
shooter.
Well
I'm.
T
A
first
responder
I
want
my
Democratic
Party,
which
is
everybody
here
to
be
talking
about
what
we
can
do
to
ban
assault
weapons
in
Bloomington
and
not
be
given
me
the
answer
that
our
hands
are
tight
because
as
a
first
responder
as
a
veteran
I
think
you
can
do
better
and
when
people
die
in
our
jail,
we
have
multiple
deaths
in
custody.
I
want
to
see
a
conversation
amongst
the
Democratic
partyings.
T
The
party
I
helped
start
here
when
this
is
a
republican
town.
I
can't
imagine
what
would
happen
if
an
IU
student
died
in
that
jail.
The
way
that
these
Cutters
keep
dying
in
our
jail
repeatedly.
This
should
be
the
safest
place
in
our
County.
When
your
kid
gets,
arrested
and
put
in
jail,
you
should
go.
Thank
you
he's
not
in
danger.
He's
not
driving
drunk
he's,
not
getting
into
trouble.
He's
safe,
now,
he's
in
jail,
I'm,
not
worried
about
how
dirty
the
jail
is.
T
Oh
I've
been
worried
about
it
and
I've
been
active
about
it
and
I've
been
in
court
about
it,
but
the
court
doesn't
want
to
hear
about
it.
Never
did
the
judges
have
private
meetings
you
can't
get
in
their
meetings.
Even
though
there
are
meetings
about
public
policy
and
should
ascribe
to
the
sunshine
laws
they
know
what's
happening
in
the
jail.
They
know
that
the
women
in
the
drunk
tank
are
held
for
weeks
there
with
no
blankets
in
the
cold,
it's
cold
in
the
drunk
tank.
T
T
First
Responders
essential
workers
die
over
here
in
our
jail.
I
want
the
Democratic
party
talking
about
it.
I
want
the
discussions
at
lunch
to
be
about.
Why
are
people
dying
at
the
jail
and
all
of
them
after
the
recovery
program
was
canceled
and
the
criminal
justice
system
got
this
huge
influx
of
money?
So
what
should
we
do
with
it?
Kick
the
community's
recovery
program
out
and
install
something
from
Centerstone
and
the
court
system,
which
has
been
so
successful
so
far.
T
No
of
course,
I'm
angry,
of
course,
I'm
angry
God.
Damn
we
got
kids
dying.
We
don't
laws
and
stand
in
opposition
to
a
tyranny
of
against
public
safety
by
political
people
by
politicians
who
are
endangering
your
children's
lives
in
school
by
not
having
adequate
laws
on
the
books
to
protect
us
from
guns,
and
my
fellow
Democrats
tell
me
that
their
hands
are
tight.
Oh
my
hands
aren't
tight.
A
U
Please
my
name
is
Scott
Farrell
I
moved
to
Bloomington
12
years
ago.
I
have
a
genetic
eye.
Disease
I
knew
the
day
was
coming.
That
I
would
have
to
give
up
my
wheels
and
get
my
car
up.
U
I
moved
down
here,
for
so
I
could
be
safe
and
have
accessibility
in
Indianapolis
I
would
have
had
to
move
way
far
out
of
the
bus
line
and
everything
else
to
be
safe.
That's
why
I
moved
here,
and
it
all
worked
out
just
great
until
these
scooters
show
up
in
the
past
12
months,
I
have
been
injured
twice
related
to
these
scooters.
U
The
first
time
was
at
17th
and
done
waiting
for
the
bus
by
the
credit
union
when
a
student
almost
reared
me
over
and
then
grabbed
a
tree
limb
so
that
he
wouldn't
hit
it
and
then
let
it
and
it
lasted
right
in
my
eye,
I
also
have
fallen
down
on
Walnut
and
cracked.
My
pelvis
I,
my
body
and
my
safety
is
not
a
safe,
is
not
an
experiment.
All
I've
heard
is
a
whole
bunch
of
conjecture
about
we'll
try
to
fix
this
problem
in
the
meanwhile
I've
been
injured
twice.
U
The
other
thing
is
very
alarming.
Although
I,
it
does
seem
very
logical
that
these
sit-down
scooters
and
e-bikes
are
safer
for
the
people
using
them.
They
are
worse
for
the
citizens
on
the
sidewalks
number
one.
The
people
are
always
going
faster
on
the
sidewalk
on
the
on
the
two
on
the
sit
down
things.
U
They
create
bigger
problems
when
they're,
just
you
know
laying
on
the
sidewalk
and
if
you
go
to
pick
one
up
on
October
I
went
to
pick
one
up.
It
was
a
lime,
e-bike
thing
or
maybe
an
e-scooter
I,
don't
know
sit-down
scooter,
I,
don't
know
the
difference,
but
you
can't
even
roll
them.
I
took
my
next
door.
U
U
V
Good
evening,
council
members,
my
name
is
Von
Welch
and
I'm
afraid
my
comments
are
going
to
sound
a
little
bit
administrative
compared
to
the
serious
personal
nature
of
of
my
preceding
commenter,
but
I.
Thank
you
for
a
couple
minutes
to
share
my
ongoing
concerns
about
the
city
of
Bloomington,
Capital,
Improvements,
Inc
or
or
cbci
in
the
past.
I've
shared
my
concerns
specifically
about
the
Waldron
Arts
Center,
but
tonight
I'm
here
as
a
citizen
sharing
concerns
broadly
and
first
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
appointing
their
member
to
the
cbci
board.
V
I
respect
a
position
that
the
four
to
one
split
seems
fundamentally
unrepresentative
of
the
citizens
and
the
council,
but
I
have
concerns
about
the
transparency.
The
cbci
and
I.
Think
having
another
Citizen's
eyes
on
its
activities
will
be
helpful
to
the
public.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
observations
of
council
member
Sandberg
earlier
about
the
Arts
being
in
scope
of
the
cbci,
and
it's
not
obvious
to
me
how
much
Arts
expertise
there
is
on
that
current
cbci
board.
So
I
could
see
a
strong
argument
for
adding
a
couple
additional
members
to
the
cbci
board.
V
V
V
So
it's
unclear
to
me
at
this
point.
What
the
actual
adopted
bylaws
of
the
cbcir
I
also
have
to
say.
I
was
surprised
tonight
to
hear
the
mayor
share
that
there
will
be
a
cbci
board
meeting
next
week.
This
is
not
on
their
website
not
on
their
calendar.
I
continue
to
be
concerned,
and
why
I'm
not
aware
that
the
Administration
has
held
any
of
their
promised
stakeholder
meetings
to
get
input
on
the
cbci
they
did
receive
input
on
their
bylaws
and
I'm.
V
Let's
say,
maybe
a
little
hopeful
here,
mayor,
Hamilton
earlier
stated
some
ways
that
the
cbci
would
operate.
That
to
me
seemed
like
improvements
over
the
draft
cpci
bylaws,
so
I'm
hopeful
that
when
I
see
the
adopted
ones,
they
maybe
have
heeded
some
of
the
feedback
they
got
and
we'll
see
that
reflected
in
the
actual
operational
bylaws.
R
Good
evening
Council,
thank
you,
madam
president,
for
this
time
this
is
Christopher
mg
from
the
greater
Bloomington
Chamber
of
Commerce.
I
first
want
to
commend
the
work
of
ESD,
collaborating
with
Indiana
University
on
the
on
these
micro
Mobility
recommendations
outline
earlier
and
I.
Think
it's
important
to
note.
We
must
strike
a
balance
between
the
benefit
and
the
costs
and
I
share.
Some
of
this
skepticism
of
the
Council
on
this
I
do
receive
calls
and
emails
from
businesses
and
around
town
on
the
the
benefit
of
the
the
scooters.
R
What
we
need
need
to
believe
is
that
they
are
safe
enough
and
that
the
accessibility
is
an
issue.
Besides,
what
has
already
been
talked
about
today,
just
seeing
scattering
of
scooters
on
somebody
who
has
no
disability
is.
It
looks
bad
aesthetically,
it
kind
of
it.
It
is
not
something
that's
inviting
and
it
doesn't
I
believe
help.
Businesses
attract
customers.
R
So
going
back
on
a
couple
of
the
the
things
I
think
some
of
the
recommendations
are
the
right
direction,
but
I
think
what
we
have
to
look
at
is
just
adding
a
few,
a
little
bit
more
teeth
to
them.
I
think,
as
Kirk
white
from
IU
noted
about
a
speed
limit,
putting
a
governor
installed
stand-up
limit
of
on
the
e-scooters
of
10
miles
per
hour.
It
seems
like
a
no-brainer.
R
We've
talked
about
the
limitation
of
hours
on
the
Dusk,
Till,
Dawn
and
I.
Think
probably
the
50
of
The
Fleets,
consisting
of
not
of
non-uh
stand
up.
Scooters
is
just
kind
of
where
we
need
to
go
on
this
I
I
appreciate
their
work,
but
I
think
the
work
is
not
quite
quite
done
on
that.
R
Next,
up,
speaking
of
of
climate,
I
want
to
express
kudos
to
the
administration
for
Superior
in
that
multi-county,
climate
change,
Alliance
regionalizing.
The
commitment
provides
a
real
opportunity
to
collectively
decrease
Greenhouse
emissions.
Coordinating
these
local
efforts,
we
not
only
streamline
some
resources,
but
we
also
become
a
beacon
to
inspire
other
Hoosier
communities
to
do
just
the
same.
R
Speaking
of
collaboration,
the
chambers
host
its
next
Community
conversation
working
Better,
Together
luncheon
on
Tuesday,
the
fourth
that
is
next
week
at
Fountain
Square
Ballroom
doors
will
open
for
that
at
11
A.M
with
the
program
starting
at
11
50..
This
panel
would
be
discussing
why
the
community
such
as
ours
is
rich
in
resources.
Why
we
struggle
to
really
collaborate
to
address
issues
of
housing,
Criminal,
Justice,
Reform
and
Convention
Center
expansion.
R
This
spin
is
open
to
the
public.
Finally,
Monday
April
10th
is
our
next
elect
connect,
mayoral
Forum
on
business
for
Democratic
candidates,
which
will
be
held
at
Indiana
University's
president's
Hall
in
Franklin
Hall.
This
will
be
a
free
event
to
everybody,
with
doors
opening
at
5
30
and
the
program
beginning
at
6
20..
There
are
a
lot
of
mayoral
forums
so
why
this
one
I
think
the
historic
venue
remains
a
real
Jewel
setting
to
be
sure
to
provide
an
indelible
experience
for
this
Monumental
election.
R
Our
motto
is
better
business
Better
Community
at
the
chamber.
We
will
be
discussing
topics
important
to
the
economic,
vitality
and
quality
of
life
here
in
Bloomington,
and
there
will
be
complementary
appetizers
and
a
cash
bar
I
want
to
thank
the
candidates
who
participated
in
the
public
who
attended
our
last
elect
connect
Council
Edition
last
week
it
was
very
successful
for
all
chamber
events,
please
register
at
bloomingtonchamber.org
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Tonight
and
your
work
that
you
do
on
behalf
of
the
community.
N
M
Thanks
yeah
I,
as
Mr
Lucas,
ready.
N
M
Okay,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Natalia
Galvin
I
live
in
the
near
West.
Side
I
prepared
a
PowerPoint
presentation
tonight
because
of
time
I
will
highlight
the
main
points.
Since
city
council
last
discussed
this
matter,
I
have
suffered
a
significant
and
rather
unexpected,
loss
in
my
family
and
contemplated
whether
to
speak
further
on
this
issue.
The
truth
is
that
much
of
this
PowerPoint
was
prepared
before
my
loss,
since
I
am
one
of
the
few
residents
that
will
come
up
in
front
of
city
council
and
continue
to
say,
the
situation
is
not
okay.
M
M
Next
slide
after
the
city
council
meeting
on
November
3rd
I
got
into
a
Twitter
exchange
with
Mr
Alexander
I
engaged
with
him
strongly
disagreeing
with
his
tweet
about
council
member
Piedmont
Smith
after
her
vote
on
the
stop
sign
issue
and
Maxwell
and
Sheridan
I'm,
a
public
comment
in
support
of
the
resident
who
advocated
for
the
stop
sign,
and
although
Mr
Alexander
didn't
directly
ask
me
why
I
supported
that
stop
sign.
I
will
speak
on
it
now.
I
didn't
support
that
stop
sign
because
of
the
neighborhood.
M
It
is
in
I
supported
the
stop
sign
and
the
effort,
because
I
have
been
personally
impacted
by
the
importance
of
a
stop
sign,
as
it
determines
liability
and
traffic
Matters
by
Mr
seabor's
account
that
intersection
would
take
years
to
properly
reimagine
and
in
my
mind
the
stop
sign
was
a
temporary
solution.
Until
that
street
was
redesigned.
That
Nuance
is
important
because
Mr
Alexander
would
later
direct
the
quote:
Haters
Gonna,
Hate
and
Bloomington
Democrats
are
going
to
lick
the
out
from
between
Allen
Heights,
neighborhood
neighbors
Ash
cheeks.
To
me,
that
is
for
me.
M
Mr
Alexander
would
continue
to
reference
me
in
the
months
to
come,
and
the
last
comment
he
tagged
me
on
was
from
March.
16Th
I
have
not
made
a
comment
to
him
on
any
social
media
since
November
3rd,
nor
will
I
again
on
that
day.
Mr
Alexander,
stated
quote
with
all
due
respect.
Taking
things
away
from
Elm
Heights
is
is
exactly
how
the
rest
of
the
city
gets
help.
End
quote
as
a
commissioner
myself.
I
felt
that
tweet
exemplified
a
diminished
ability
to
receive
complaints
having
to
do
with
traffic
matters
fairly
next
slide
slide.
M
4
is
a
timeline
of
events.
I
went
to
council
member
scandalaria's
constituent
Zoom,
the
following
Saturday.
After
my
exchange
with
Mr
Alexander
I
asked
for
a
recommendation
at
the
meeting
of
how
to
handle
the
situation
and
immediately
email,
Council
leadership
at
the
time
for
her
guidance
next
slide
slide.
5
is
a
continuation
of
events,
and
I
was
told
that
this
matter
would
be
addressed.
I
assumed
it
would
be
addressed
at
the
next
reappointment,
a
discussion
about
Mr
Alexander's
tweets,
at
least
during
Council
deliberations.
M
However,
there
was
no
discussion
and,
at
the
end,
and
at
the
January
18th
meeting
Mr
Alexander
was
reappointed.
I
learned
at
the
stanberg
Rallo
constituents
zoom
on
January
21st
that
the
council
president
would
not
address
the
situation
without
more
documentation
next
slide,
so
on
January
21st
I
sent
the
email
I
previously
sent
on
November
5th
to
all
the
members
of
the
city
council.
M
It
is
my
estimation
that
this
was
the
first
time
all
City
Council
Members
received
my
email
that
it
was
not
forwarded
by
Council
leadership
in
2022
to
the
other
members
of
council,
because
some
of
the
members
of
council
said
that
they
were
unaware
of
these
issues
regarding
Mr
Alexander
prior
to
voting
on
his
reappointment
to
the
traffic
commission.
Next
slide,
I
highlight
Mr
Askins
comment
about
the
situation
being
quote
an
extra
drain
on
the
Public's
energy
end
quote.
M
It
is
much
more
than
that
next
slide,
although
some
Bloomington
residents
can
make
light
over
Mr
Alexander's
language
that
language
was
directed
at
me
and
other
City
residents.
Despite
weeks
and
months
after
our
initial
Twitter
exchange,
he
continues
to
reference
me
and
other
residents
who
he
deems
as
oppositional
to
his
views.
Mr
Alexander
attacked
a
friend
of
mine
simply
for
liking,
a
tweet
as
referenced
in
slide.
Eight.
M
The
next
six
slides
highlight
Mr
Alexander's
personal
attacks
and
mentions
I'm,
not
surprised
that
I'm
one
of
the
few
residents
who
is
willing
to
comment
most
of
the
people
that
may
comment
against
him
are
disparaged
by
him
on
social
media
and
some
receive
handwritten
letters
at
their
home.
These
are
not
Standalone
letters.
Both
people
who
receive
such
letters
were
also
attacked
and
disparaged
by
Mr
Alexander
on
social
media
because
of
my
family
loss.
I
did
not
do
a
comprehensive
search
of
all
of
Mr
Alexander's
social
media
accounts.
I
felt
that
seven
pages
illustrate
my
point.
M
So
how
do
all
statements
impact
one's
ability
to
serve?
These
are
not
old
comments.
Oh
I
think
it's
live
14..
These
are
not
all
comments.
These
are
comments
from
the
past
five
months.
A
next
slide,
Bloomington
residents
who
are
familiar
with
oh
next
slide
next
slide.
M
Okay,
Bloomington
residents,
who
are
familiar
with
Mr
Alexander,
employed
him
to
understand
that
his
social
media,
Behavior
or
words
are
abusive
and
offensive
next
slide
for
all
those
Reasons
I'm
here
tonight,
Beyond
making
statements
like
supporting,
taking
things
away
from
a
neighborhood
equally
as
troubling
as
Mr
Alexander's,
persistent
harassment
of
people
he
perceives
as
thinking
differently
than
he
does,
and
some
Bloomington
residents,
including
me,
no
longer
feel
like
they
can
get
a
fair
Hearing
in
front
of
the
traffic
commission.
Thank
you.
A
Council
I
know
we
are
at
the
20-minute
Mark.
We
have
two
additional
comments.
May
I
have
your
Indulgence
and
finish
up
with
these
two
individuals:
okay
clerk
Bolden.
If
you
would
please.
B
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
allowing
for
additional
time.
I
didn't
stand
up
at
the
podium,
because
I'm
also
trying
to
take
notes
so
I
wanted
to
touch
base
with
the
council,
because
at
the
State
House,
the
session
we've
seen
an
unprecedented
number
of
bills
passed
that
attack
lgbtq
plus
same
gender,
loving
Hoosiers.
B
These
bills
include
things
like
House,
Bill
1608,
which
is
a
don't
say,
gay
bill,
Senate
Bill
489,
which
bans
Essential
Medical
Care
for
Trans
youth,
their
books
on
censorship
and
denial
of
gender,
affirming
care
and
even
a
bill
that
makes
it
illegal
for
child
services
to
consider
a
failure
to
provide
a
safe
and
affirming
environment
for
Trans
youth.
When
looking
into
abusive
home
environments,
okay
Friday
is
transvisibility
day
and
on
Sunday
April,
2nd
at
2
pm.
W
S
Chuck
Livingston,
oh
there's,
been
an
awful
lot
set
about
various
topics
today
that
I
didn't
anticipate.
I'll,
try
to
be
brief
on
both
topics
with
respect
to
scooters.
I
want
to
thank
the
council
members
who
are
going
to
take
this
issue
seriously
with
the
lack
of
time.
I'll
talk
about
it
more
in
constituent
meetings.
W
I
do
want
to
mention
two
things.
Well,
one
is
that
I
will
send
you
links
to
meetings
that
were
held
in
the
council
chambers
four
years
ago,
for
instance,
when
Beth
ropp,
the
director
of
IU
student
health,
pleaded
with
the
council
to
control
scooters
check
out,
told
you
about
the
serious
accidents
she's
seen.
W
W
It's
it
costs
them
a
lot.
It
has
costed
the
council
a
lot.
It
has
costed
this
whole
city,
a
lot
I
find
one
scooter
on
one
handicap
ramp
intolerable.
The
fact
that
it's
continued
is
says
something
tells
me
something
I
wish
I
didn't
know.
W
With
regards
to
Natalie
galvin's
comments
about
Greg,
Alexander
I
want
to
just
mention
one
of
his
quotes.
He
told
the
counsel
in
person.
Roughly
half
the
sidewalk
committee
budget
in
the
past
15
years
was
spent
on
rollo's
District
I,
don't
know
where
he
got
that
figure.
I've
looked
for
it
myself.
Maybe
you
know
I
know
that
Mark
Strasberg
produced
a
report
where
he
said
that
half
the
projects
had
taken
place
in
council
member
Rollins
District,
but
he
made
no
distinction
between
ten
thousand
dollar
projects
and
three
hundred
thousand
dollar
projects.
W
So
if,
at
some
point
Mr
Alexander
makes
a
presentation
to
the
council,
he
can
explain
where
he's
getting
his
figures.
The
following
line
from
his
comment
was,
with
all
due
respect.
Taking
things
away
from
Elm
Heights
is
exactly
how
the
rest
of
the
city
should
get
help
well.
Elm
Heights,
neighborhood
association
is
one
of
the
largest
in
Bloomington.
If
not
the
largest,
it's
it
runs
from
Third
Street
Park,
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
It
includes
fraternities,
it
includes
optometry.
School
includes
a
shopping
center
at
eagleson
and
third,
it
borders
on
Bryant
Park.
W
Looking
at
Mr
strasbourg's
Data
I
can
find
in
the
last
20
years
two
projects
in
Elm
Heights
that
were
covered
by
the
sidewalk
committee.
There
was
a
half
a
block
in
on
South
Downs
at
the
very
Southeast
corner
and
two
blocks
of
Maxwell
at
Maxwell
and
Sheridan
20
years.
Two
projects
in
the
largest
one
of
the
most
pedestrian
used
neighborhoods
in
the
community
I've
never
campaigned
for
more
funds
from
the
sidewalk
committee
for
realm.
Heights
I
know
that
every
neighborhood
in
the
city
is
in
desperate
need
for
funds.
W
His
comment
with
all
due
respect,
taking
things
away
from
Elm
Heights,
is
exactly
how
the
rest
of
the
city
gets
help
well,
if
that
doesn't
represent
prejudice
against
Elm
Heights
and
render
him
as
an
inappropriate
member
of
the
traffic
commission,
that's
supposed
to
make
unbiased
judgments
I,
don't
know
what
is
so
I
hope
you
soon
crack
the
situation
until
you
do
I
won't
be
attending
graphic
commission
meetings.
Thank
you.
X
Thank
you
good
evening,
council
members,
my
name
is
Eric
OST
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
as
a
member
of
the
public
this
evening.
X
The
prior
and
present
comments
and
testimony
of
numerous
members
of
our
community
are
materially
necessary,
sufficient
and
convincing
to
inform
and
support
Council
action
and
removal
of
a
current
traffic
Commission
appointee.
I
want
to
sincerely
thank
Ms
Galvin
for
her
forthright
and
brave
comments.
X
There
are
members
of
our
community
who
have
been
negatively
impacted
and
harmed
by
Mr
Alexander's
statements
and
actions
of
the
member
of
the
traffic
commission
who
no
longer
feel
comfortable
speaking
to
the
common
Council
or
the
traffic
Commission.
I
hope
you
understand
what
has
been
and
is
being
manifest.
X
N
A
E
Would
like
to
propose
that
we
is
there
a
certain
format,
I'm
supposed
to
say
this
in
you
all
right,
I'm
gonna
make
a
motion
that
we
appoint
to
the
commission
on
the
status
of
black
males
Caleb
poorer,
to
seat
C1
for
the
Commission
on
Aging,
to
appoint
Rob
Council
to
C2
and
I.
Think
that
does
it
for
us
seat
three.
Yes,
thank
you.
Yes,.
D
A
F
F
F
I
moved
to
remove
Luke
Swain
from
C3
on
the
environmental
commission
due
to
non-attendance
pursuant
to
Bloomington
Municipal
Code
2.08.020
paragraph
four
in
making
this
motion
I
asked
that
before
a
formal
decision
to
remove
is
reached
that
the
council
give
Mr
Swain
at
least
five
business
days,
to
provide
any
extenuating
circumstances
in
writing.
In
response
to
this
particular
motion,
thank
you.
A
N
Just
that,
because
of
the
research
that
went
into
the
previous
motions
for
removal
related
to
the
traffic
commission,
member
Council
staff
now
recommends
that
a
motion
for
removal
for
any
reason
be
shared
with
that
particular
appointee
and
that
they'd
be
provided
at
least
five
business
days
to
respond
in
writing.
So
I
would
suggest
any
formal
action
on
this
motion
be
postponed
until
April.
The
12th,
due
to
the
council's
earlier
meeting
next
week,
following
on
Tuesday.
F
N
Would
suggest
April
12th
I
had
to
realize
this
may
be
Overkill.
Several
attempts
have
been
made
to
contact
Mr
Swain,
but
to
to
be
on
the
right
side
of
our
code.
I
would
suggest
April
12th
is
the
next
day
for
the
council
to
act.
I'm
fine
with.
A
C
Bloomington
Commission
on
sustainability
and
for
the
parking
commission
and
if
I
could
just
briefly
make
a
public
service
announcement
here,
we
do
need
Merchants
to
apply
for
the
parking
commission.
So
if
we
could
just
kind
of
put
that
out
there
that,
if
you
are
a
merchant
in
the
city
and
would
like
to
apply
for
the
parking
commission,
we
would
appreciate
those
applications.
But
we
do
have
recommendations
this
evening
for
the
Bloomington
Commission
on
sustainability.
We
would
like
to
appoint
Alex
hakes
to
seat
C1
and
to
Justin
vassel
to
seat
C2.
A
N
A
H
President
I
have
a
revised
motion:
I
move
that
Greg
Alexander
be
removed
from
seat
C5
of
the
traffic
commission
for
cause
under
Bloomington
Municipal
Code
2.08.020
paragraph
four
for
the
following
conduct
that
demonstrates
Mr
Alexander's,
diminished
ability
and
fitness
to
perform
the
duties
of
his
appointment
statements
at
issue.
The
following
statements
were
made
on
social
media
site
Twitter
on
the
following
dates
on
November
3rd
2022,
in
response
to
a
Twitter
thread
regarding
allocation
of
City
funds
for
sidewalks
user
at
Greg,
Alexander
8,
replies
quote
with
all
due
respect.
H
Taking
things
away
from
Alma
Heights
is
emphasis
on
is
exactly
how
the
rest
of
the
city
could
tell
unquote
on
November
5th
2022
in
response
to
a
Twitter
thread
in
which
user
at
clerk
Moore
used.
The
words
quote
punching
through
to
describe
a
plan
infrastructure
project
within
Elm,
Heights
user
Greg
Alexander,
eight
replies
quote
I
would
really
like
to
know.
H
The
statements
diminish,
Mr,
Alexander's
ability
and
fitness
to
perform
these
duties
of
appointment
in
one
or
more
of
the
following
ways.
In
the
referee
number
one
bias
the
statements
on
Twitter
from
November,
2nd
sorry
3rd
2022
demonstrate
bias
against
one
of
bloomington's
neighborhoods.
The
statement
advocates
for
taking
City
resources
away
from
this
neighborhood.
This
impacts
Mr,
Alexander's
ability
to
and
partially
discharge
the
enumerated
duties
in
Bloomington
Municipal
quote.
H
Okay,
the
following
way
number
two
is
chilling.
Public
engagement,
members
of
the
public
have
come
forward
during
public
comment:
portions
of
Council
meetings,
including
the
regular
sessions
on
January,
25th,
2023
and
February
1st
2023,
and
the
special
committee
on
Council
processes,
meeting
on
February
20th
2023
to
express
concern
that
Mr
Alexander's
Behavior
has
discouraged
Bloomington
residents
from
voicing
traffic
concerns
and
interacting
with
the
traffic
Commission.
H
The
behavior
in
question
includes
Mr
Alexander's
statements
on
Twitter
from
November
5th
and
16th
2022
that
use
references
to
sexual
acts
and
sexual
violence
to
ridicule.
Public
concerns
about
public
infrastructure
projects.
Members
of
the
public
have
stated
that
they
feel
targeted,
bullied
intimidated
by
Mr
Alexander.
H
Unquote.
Mr
Alexander's
Behavior,
including
statements
on
Twitter
on
November
5th
and
16
2022,
that
ridiculed
public
concerns
with
references
to
metaphors
of
sexual
violence
and
depict
graphic
sexual
acts,
have
interfered
with
public
engagement
with
the
traffic
commission
and
the
City
members
of
the
public
have
come
forward
to
express
feeling,
intimidated,
harassed
and
bullied.
The
chilling
effect
of
these
statements
have
had
on
public
engagement
with
with
the
city
and
traffic
commission
is
so
deleterious
to
public
interest
that
discipline
or
discharge
could
reasonably
be
expected
to
result
under
the
city
of
bloomington's
personnel
manual.
H
H
H
Thank
you
and
I
would
like
to
thank
Ash
Cooley
for
their
work.
In
preparing
that
motion.
A
N
Same
same
recommendation
that
the
council
should
take
no
formal
action
until
Mr
Alexander
has
an
opportunity
to
respond
to
this
particular
motion,
as
you
did
previously.
You're
welcome
to
debate
this
as
needed
tonight
or
you
could
simply
move
to
postpone
until
I
would
recommend
again
April
the
12th.
F
How
many
times
are
we
going
to
do
this?
I
mean
Mr.
Rallo
has
redone
his
his
motion
twice
now
he's
built
his
argument
into
the
motion
when
it
could
have
been
stated
much
more
simply,
and
he
could
have
then
recited
these
items.
But,
okay,
fine,
let's
take
the
motion
as
it
is.
F
I
mean
the
remedy
should
still
be
the
same.
I
made
the
motion
to
remove
Mr
Swain,
because
it's
very
clearly
defined
in
code
tonight
I've
made
the
motion
tonight
because
it's
very
clearly
defined
in
code.
What
we
are
clear
about,
removing
someone
for
cause
for
attendance.
F
We
are
not
clear
about
how
someone
should
be
removed.
We've
established
in
previous
debates
that
Mr
Alexander's
tweets
first
of
all,
there's
only
three
of
them.
They
were
in
November,
there's
been
no
citation
of
further
tweets,
so
we're
still
litigating
the
same
case,
but
they
we
heard
and
I'm
sure
I
hope.
Mr
Roller
was
in
attendance
at
the
council
committee
on
processes.
The
last
meeting
where
Sarah
Ryder
band,
attended
and
praised
to
the
High
Heavens
Mr
X
Alexander's
presence
on
the
traffic
commission
that
his
performance
has
been
exemplary.
F
She
says
now
the
fact
that
Mr
Alexander
in
his
out
in
his
life
outside
the
traffic
commission
has
made
controversial
statements
is
worth
discussing,
but
there
has
been
no
citation
of
any
the
the
the
accusations
made
by
Mr.
Rallo
do
not
include
anything
that
happened
in
a
traffic
Commission
meeting.
F
The
remedy
is
for
the
committee
on
processes
which
was
set
up
at
the
beginning
of
this
year
to
address
questions
just
like
this
was
barely
set
up
before
we
could
address
an
issue
like
this.
We
should
have
something
more
specific
in
code
to
address
situations
like
this
all
right.
Social
media
is
notoriously
accessible.
F
F
The
the
analogy
that
somehow
volunteers
should
be
treated
like
employees
of
the
city
forgets
the
idea
that
who's
in
charge
of
that
volunteer
is
it
the
council.
Are
we
going
to
really
have
to
give
performance
reviews
to
every
member
of
a
border?
Commission
I
think
that
Mr
Owl
doesn't
realize
that
he's
been
opening
a
can
of
worms
that
it
just
this
motion.
F
This
type
of
motion
has
been
inappropriate
since
the
first
one
he
made
it
made
it's
still
just
as
inappropriate,
and
he
should
be
looking
for
other
ways
to
prevent
such
things
from
happening
in
the
future,
but
I
guess
we're
going
to
litigate
this
case
until
the
the
activists
and
Mr
rallo's
District
are
happy.
I
will
point
out.
Finally,
that
Elm
Heights
neighborhood
association
is
not
a
democratic
body.
F
Elm
Heights
neighborhood
is
a
large
neighborhood
that
no
one
can
claim
they
represent,
except
perhaps
Mr
Rallo,
although
I
can
claim
that
as
well,
because
I
live
in
Elm,
Heights
and
I'm,
currently
representing
a
portion
of
that
District,
but
otherwise
there
is
no
I
mean
the
the
claims
that
people
are
making
about
who
they
represent
are
very
Broad
and
vague.
They
say
everybody
thinks
like
us
or
we
represent
all
of
el
mites.
F
None
of
this
is
true,
so
I
wish
that
Mr
Rallo
would
withdraw
this
Motion
in
favor
of
working
through
the
committee
that
he
is
a
member
of
to
come
up
with
rules
to
prevent
such
things
from
happening
again.
We
need
it.
We
need
those
rules,
we
do
not
need
to
be
continually
making
ad
hoc
judgments
about
individual
members
of
boards
and
commissions.
It's
unprecedented,
and
this
has
got
to
stop
I
I
wish
that
he
would
withdraw
this
motion
before
we
have
to
vote
it
down.
Thank
you.
J
You,
the
the
item,
number
three
enumerated
is
the
demonstrating
a
way
in
which
Mr,
Alexander's,
Civility
and
fitness
to
perform
his
duties
have
have
been
impacted,
is
somewhat
new
in
the
sense
that
when
the
committee
considered
this,
we
did
not
have
legal
guidance
from
our
Attorneys
at
that
time
that
the
employee,
Personnel
manual
would
apply
to
board
and
commission
members.
There
was
discussion
about
making
it
apply
in
the
future
through
adopting
that
in
some
way,
VIA
code
or
in
in
practice
with
the
onboarding
abortion
commission
members.
J
N
Yes,
happy
happy
to
respond
to
that
I
think
in
continuing
to
work
with
councilmember
Rallo,
to
put
together
a
motion
that
captured
his
intent.
Council
staff
continue
to
review
the
Personnel
manual.
It
does
state
that
volunteers
are
subject
to
the
city's
policy,
prohibiting
harassment
in
the
workplace
to
the
extent
that
members
on
boards
and
commissions
could
be
considered.
N
Volunteers
I
believe
Mr
Owl
felt
that
that
was
relevant
to
the
council's
consideration
and
an
additional
reason
that
Mr
Alexander
might
Beyond
notice
that
this
sort
of
behavior
would
be
subject
to
some
sort
of
response.
J
Follow-Up,
if
that's
okay,
you
just
said
to
the
extent
that
board
and
commission
members
could
be
considered
volunteers.
Is
it
your
legal
opinion
that
they
are
considered
volunteers
I
mean
we
don't
have
to
answer
that
now,
but
that's
my
question
I'm
trying
to
do
what's
legally
correct
with
respect
to
this
and
I
think
there
is
some.
J
There
is
significant
risk
and
a
number
of
the
accusations
that
I
made
of
running
a
foul
of
Mr
Alexander's
rights,
including
constitutional
rights.
So
I
want
to
be
very
careful
about.
What's
being
said,
and
what
the
argument
being
Advanced
is-
and
that's
I'd
like
to
dig
in
more
to
that
again,
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
add
more
at
this.
N
Time
no
happy
to
to
research
that
further
I
don't
know
if
the
manual
specifies,
but
we
can
try
to
get
some
additional
information
to
the
Council
on
that
question.
Thank
you.
H
H
Thank
you
well,
just
just
to
say
that
the
topics
that
involve
Mr
Alexander
as
a
traffic
commission,
member
and
the
public
are
topics
that
are
relevant
to
the
city
and
traffic
commission
they're
to
be
held.
They're
they're,
considered
by
that
Commission,
so
I
do
think
it
is
relevant
and
then,
in
terms
of
how
many
times
do
we
have
to
do
this
recall
that
I
voted
against
Mr
Alexander's
appointment
to
the
commission.
H
I
then
sought
to
correct
what
I
thought
was
a
mistake
by
offering
a
motion
that
the
council
decided
to
to
form
a
committee
at
the
advisement
of
council
member
volen
and
then
at
the
committee
that
was
held.
They
suggested
a
revised
motion
and
then
at
the
former
meeting
where
I
introduced
a
motion,
two
council
members
were
not
in
attendance
and
I
was
advised
at
that
point
that
by
my
colleagues
that
to
revise
my
motion
further.
H
F
F
It
was
a
special
committee,
not
a
standing
one
but
I
said
that's
what
the
committee
was
for
exactly
items
like
this,
but
I
would
gently
suggest
that
we
should
not
be
short-circuiting
our
processes
for
the
sake
of
an
ad
hoc
decision
and
I
would
think
that
my
colleague,
who
is
the
parliamentarian
of
this
body,
would
be
keeping
that
sort
of
thing
in
mind
before
making
this
motion
that
he's
made
three
times
now.
Thank
you.
G
With
respect
to
one
of
our
commenters
and
I'll
just
use
the
name:
Natalia
Galvin
I
have
the
utmost
respect
and
I
love
working
with
her
and
social
issues
out
in
the
city,
but
I
think
she
may
have
been
correct
to
say
on
the
night
of
that
vote
that
I
wasn't
present.
I
I,
don't
recall,
but
it
seems
that
I
do
remember
that
vote.
G
We'll
discuss
more
on
April
12th
I,
think
I'm
assuming,
but
I
just
want
to
get
that
out
there
if,
if
they
just
if
I
would
have
been
aware
of
all
this
stuff
that
night,
that
would
have
been
a
lot
easier,
not
so
sure
how
to
voting
yes
to
to
do
that,
but
I
just
think
it
had
been
more
timely
and
appropriate
at
that
time.
Thank
you.
Q
I
I
was
actually
going
to
comment
on
the
same
thing
as
councilmember
Sims
I
think
it
is
incredibly
unfortunate
that
three
at
least
three
council
members
knew
about
this.
When
the
recommendation
was
on
the
table,
it
came
up
up
two
constituent
meetings
and
no
one
brought
it
to
our
attention.
I
find
that
very,
very
unfortunate.
H
Yes,
since
we
don't
always
anticipate
what
appointments
are
coming
since
then,
I've
spoken
to
the
clerk's
office
and
she's
agreed
to
give
us
a
heads
up
in
terms
of
the
appointments
that
are
there
forthcoming.
That
way,
we
know
you
know
what's
likely
to
occur
now.
In
this
case
it
was
it
happened.
Decisions
were
made
I,
think
by
team
c
b,
literally
moments
before
our
meeting
started.
So
that's
something
to
keep
in
mind
too
that
those
perhaps
those
meetings
shouldn't
shouldn't,
occur
immediately
prior
to
Council
meetings.
F
I'm,
just
going
to
point
out
that
it's
entirely
within
the
control
of
this
body
to
to
how
we
manage
our
process
and
Mr
rallo's
concern
I,
just
we've
already
had
where
it's
9
30
now
and
we
have
yet
to
even
get
to
second
readings.
We
have
allowed
people
to
go
well
beyond
the
20
minutes.
Republic
comment:
we
allowed
ad
hoc
an
extra
long
report
on
scooters.
When
are
we
going
to
get
a
control
under
our
processes?
Isn't
that
what
the
committee
was
for
this
continued
ad
hoc?

A
N
Y
Sure
I
won't
need
that
much
time.
My
name
is
Jamie
Scholl
and
there's
been
a
discussion
on
the
next
door,
app
that
I've
been
wondering,
if
would
be
applicable,
to
some
of
the
issues
that
were
talked
about
tonight,
especially
when
hearing
council
member
Sims
speak
about
not
knowing
and
council
member
Rosenberger
Barger,
not
knowing
about
the
issues
with
Greg
Alexander
and
someone
had
posted
the
question
about
how
much
council
members
make
how
much
you
all
earn
per
year.
That
was
answered
on
there
and
I.
Y
It's
been
a
more
lengthier
discussion
and
wondering
for
me
how
how
much
time
do
each
of
you
all
spend
attending
meetings
serving
constituents
and,
of
course,
other
required
duties
for
your
position
and
if
the
less
than
twenty
thousand
dollars
per
year
actually
is
a
good
remuneration
for
the
amount
of
time
and
the
amount
of
stresses
and
very
large
decisions
that
you
all
might
make
I
know
you
all
can't
verbally
tell
me,
but
there
is
that
being
discussed
and
I'm
wondering
if
that
you
know
it.
Y
If
you
had
more
time
to
review,
if
this
is
closer
to
not
just
a
part-time
position,
but
something
that
is
requiring
a
lot
more
time
anyway,
thank
you
for
listening.
Thank.
N
Just
a
reminder
that
next
week's
regular
session
will
be
held
on
Tuesday
instead
of
Wednesday
due
to
Passover
I
believe
so
just
wanted
to
mention
that
and
no
other
notes
for
tonight.
