Thank
you,
I'm,
seeing
that
we
have
a
quorum
of
in-person
members
and
Chambers
and
actually
a
full
Zoom
participants.
We
have
a
full
contingent
tonight.
So
let
me
go
ahead
and
summarize
our
agenda
council
president
scamillery
asked
me
to
preside
over
the
meeting
since
she
would
not
be
available
in
person.
So
our
agenda
includes
approval
of
minutes
reports
that
includes
council
member
reports.
D
Any
reports
from
the
mayor
and
city
offices
at
this
time,
I
will
note
that
the
report
from
the
Bloomington
Arts
commission
has
been
postponed
due
to
illness,
and
then
we
will
have
a
review
of
the
community
advisory
on
Public
Safety
Commission.
Then
we
moved
to
reports
from
Council
committees
if
there
are
any
and
reports
from
the
public.
That's
the
first
opportunity
for
members
of
the
public
to
comment
on
items
not
on
our
agenda.
D
D
B
I
believe
that's
about
7th
and
Dunn
Street.
We
then
moved
to
an
additional
public
comment
period
for
items
not
on
the
agenda,
and
then
we
will
address
any
items
of
the
council
schedule
and
adjourn
so
I
believe
we
have
two
sets
of
minutes
to
approve
one
set
is
a
correction
from
last
time:
yes,
oh
yes,
I'm!
So
sorry,
council,
member
Flaherty,
could
you
please
read
our
land
and
labor
acknowledgment?
Yes,.
E
And
labor
acknowledgment
for
city
of
Bloomington,
we
recognize
that
the
city
of
Bloomington
sits
on
native
land.
The
city
as
well
as
City
administrative
buildings,
are
on
the
traditional
homelands
of
the
Miami
Delaware
Potawatomi
and
Shawnee
people,
and
we
acknowledge
they
are
past
present
and
future
caretakers
of
this
land.
We
also
acknowledge
that
much
of
the
economic
progress
and
development
in
Indiana
and
specifically
Bloomington
resulted
from
the
unpaid
labor
enforced
servitude
of
people
of
color,
specifically
enslaved,
African
labor.

H
Note
of
a
couple
of
articles
that
are
on
the
front
page
of
the
virtual
paper,
The
Herald
times
that
both
have
to
do
with
the
public
right-of-way.
The
first
has
to
do
with
I'm
trying
to
find
the
name
of
the
person
affected
here.
Amanda
Whitaker,
who
was
walking
on
the
beeline
trail
with
a
friend
when
a
bicyclist
who
it
later
was
found
knowingly,
was
operating.
The
bike
without
working
brakes
ran
directly
into
her.
H
The
story
recounts
that
she
was
hospitalized
and
has
suffered
serious
injuries,
but
that
he
at
the
at
the
site
of
the
incident,
the
bicyclist
was
let
go
I,
don't
quite
understand
why
assault
and
battery
charges
don't
apply
to
someone
who's
clearly
operating
such
a
vehicle
recklessly
on
the
beeline,
Trail
and
she's,
currently
pursuing
she's
interested
in
seeing
what
can
be
done
to
make
the
trail
safer
between
bicyclists
and
pedestrians.
H
Another
article
that
came
out
I
think
yesterday,
but
is
still
on
the
front
page,
has
to
has
an
unfortunate
headline.
It
says
IU
students
seriously
hurt
when
scooter
crashes
into
SUV
on
campus.
The
video
of
this
incident
was
caught
this
the
other
day
on
a
car's
dash.
Cam
and
while
it
shows
that
the
scooter
rider
made
some
some
poor
choices
in
operating
the
vehicle,
a
couple
of
things
are
not
clear
from
this
headline.
H
First
of
all,
if
you
watch
the
video
you'll
find
that
the
scooter
did
not
crash
into
the
SUV,
the
SUV
crashed
into
the
scooter
the
scooter
cut
in
front
of
it,
so
that
makes
the
headline
incorrect
in
the
first
place.
Secondly,
if
you
watch
the
video
you'll
see
that
the
scooter
rider
entered
the
intersection,
while
the
light
was
still
green
and
despite
cutting
off
a
cutting
across
a
lane
of
traffic,
the
SUV
that
was
coming
the
other
way.
This
is
the
corner
of
10th
and
Woodlawn.
H
The
SUV
entered
the
intersection
in
what
looks
like
the
yellow.
It's
not
clear
enough
from
this.
This
one
vantage
point,
but
it's
worth
investigating,
and
it's
certainly
clear
enough
that
it
makes
me
question
the
way
that
this
was
phrased,
because
it
is
very,
very
common
for
people
to
who
are
not
users
of
scooters
to
denigrate
the
scooters
and
their
uses.
There's
a
lot
to
be
examined
here,
but
it's
clear
that
we
have
an
ongoing
problem
with
the
different
speeds
that
people
travel
at
that.
H
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
always
I,
guess
you
could
say
punching
up
and
not
punching
down
that
car
should
have
the
greatest
regulation,
scooters,
bicycles
and
then
you
know,
and
that
we
should
be
keeping
pedestrians
at
the
at
our
foremost,
in
our
thoughts
when
it
comes
to
affecting
speed
on
the
streets,
but
that
we
also
need
to
rethink
our
streets
and
our
paths
to
minimize
the
chance
that
this
kind
of
thing
can't
happen
again.
But
it
also
includes
thinking
twice
about
how
we
talk
about
different
modes
of
Transit.
H
They
are
all
valid,
they're
all
valid.
The
problem
isn't
with
any
one
operator.
If
they,
if
they
operate
inappropriately,
they
should
be
punished,
but
it's
as
much
to
do
with
the
way
we
design
a
right-of-way
than
anything
else
and
I
urge
people
to
follow
both
of
these
stories
to
see
and
and
think
about,
the
transportation
choices
that
we're
making.
Thank
you.
I
I'd
like
to
give
a
report
to
the
council
and
the
public
on
the
911
plan
commission
meeting
the
items
of
note
were
there
was
a
resolution
for
removal
of
negative
easement
relating
to
a
PUD.
I
That
was
is
55-99,
which
was
some
years
ago,
and
this
is
in
regards
to
the
old
Marsh
site
on
the
east
side
that
they're
going
they're
working
to
get
an
Academy
Sports
there,
a
sports
store
there,
and
so
this
is
something
that's
kind
of
been
going
on
for
a
little
while
now
in
the
the
group,
that's
doing
it,
they
are
working
with
City
staff
and
they
put
together
some
language
to
remove
the
negative
easement,
which
was
specifically
some
trees
that
were
between
the
old
marsh
and
a
potential
apartment
complex.
I
That's
why
the
barrier
was
needed
and
there's
no
there's
no
apartment
complex
there.
It's
now
an
outbuilding
and
there's
a
dialysis
and
nail
parlors
and
things
so
so
that
becomes
moot.
So
the
city
is
working
has
worked
with
Brian
Inc.
Who
will
be
renting
that
it's
right
now
Kroger
has
a
long-term
lease
on
it
and
they're
going
to
give
it
up.
I
So
the
site
can
be
reinvigorated
and
it
looks
like
a
really
great
idea
and
a
good
store
and
it
will
make
that
area
energized
and
you
know
a
lot
of
good
business
over
there.
So
now
that
negative
easement
will
be
decided
upon
tomorrow
at
the
Bloomington.
Zoning
of
appeals
or
I
may
have
said
that
wrong.
But
it's
the
zoning
appeals
tomorrow
and
they're.
Really,
nobody
has
any
any
problems
with.
I
It
sounds
good
I
I,
it
seems
like
it'll,
be
fine
because
the
problem
became
moot
because
there
was
no
apartment
built
there
in
the
puds
expired
from
that
period.
It's
about
10
10
12
years
ago,
so
that
was
really
important.
At
least
there
were
people
on
the
east
side.
The
other
thing
that
probably
was
important
to
say
is
that
the
Sudbury
development
that's
going
on.
I
I
It
is
further
refining
and
taking
the
comments
that
were
made
in
the
last
couple
times
further
refining
it,
and
they
are
anticipating
that
in
November,
when
planned
commission
meets
that
they
will
have
a
final,
mostly
final
version
of
of
the
Pud.
That's
will
be
out
there.
I
Probably
the
biggest
change
was
that
instead
of
6
000
approximate
units,
they're
they're
talking
like
about
4
300
approximate
units,
again
there's
going
to
be
15
percent
of
affordable
housing
at
120
percent
of
Ami,
and
it
will
be
spread
throughout
the
five
kind
of
neighborhoods
that
they're
they're,
creating
it
it
to
me
looks
like
a
great
project.
It's
quite
complicated.
It's
humongous!
It's
going
to
take
them,
they've
extended
it.
They
think.
I
Maybe
it's
going
to
be
12
years
before
it
totally
gets
finished,
and
so,
let's
see
I,
think
that's
probably
the
things
that
the
concerns
there
were
some
concerns
in
the
public.
Again,
it's
asks
people
to
wonder
about
the
mix
of
rentals
and
and
items
for
sale,
purchasable
properties
not
yet
determined,
because
it's
not
yet
totally.
The
total
plan
is
not
yet
finished
and
there's
still
some
worries
about
the
flooding
which
apparently
in
that
area
does
happen
quite
often
under
big
rains.
I
They're
waiting
on
of
traffic
study
and
they're
waiting
on
an
environmental
impact
study
I,
don't
think
they
were
even
done
at
at
the
last
meeting
on
9
11.
We
think
they'll
be
done
by
the
November
meeting.
If
they
are
not
the
me,
the
project
will
be
continued
to
the
December
meeting
so
that
all
that
can
be
factored
in
before
it's
developed
and
presented,
and
that's
all
I
have
for
that.
So
thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
council,
member
Sandberg.
Do
you
have
a
report.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Yes,
I
do
have
a
couple
of
things
this
evening
and
pardon
me
a
little
under
the
weather,
so
I'm
trying
to
stay
alert
here,
but
the
first
thing,
I'd
like
to
say,
is
say,
acknowledge
and
congratulations
to
all
of
our
Hispanic
brothers
and
sisters
for
Hispanic,
Heritage,
Month
and
I
believe
that's
from
September
15th
until
October
15th.
B
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
one
of
the
similarities
between
Black,
History,
Month
and
Hispanic
Heritage
Month
is
that
both
of
those
recognitions
began
with
one
day
recognitions
and
celebrations.
Then
they
moved
to
one
week
and
now
both
have
a
national
month-long
celebration
that
it's
knowledge
by
this
country
so
just
wanted
to
say
well
wishes
to
our
Hispanic
brothers
and
sisters
and,
let's
all
celebrate
this
month.
B
The
second
point,
I
believe,
is
the
last
meeting.
My
esteemed
colleague,
councilmember
Boland,
brought
up
the
fact
that
a
Mr
Barrio
Jr,
an
IU
student
who
went
to
a
parking
lot
at
the
srsc
I
believe
left.
The
fee
was
three
dollars.
He
didn't
he
had
cash,
but
they
only
take
cards
and
apparently
the
line
was
long,
so
they
would
tell
him
to
go,
and
basically
he
assumed
that
that
fee,
instead
of
three
dollars,
would
be
13.50
applied
to
his
Bursar
bill
as
best
as
I
can
ascertain.
B
B
First
thing
I
like
to
say:
wouldn't
it
have
been
amazing
that
if
the
officers
were
there
to
just
actually
simply
pick
up
three
dollars,
if
we're
going
to
respond,
then
a
lot
of
this
other
would
not
have
happened.
As
many
of
you
know,
chief
iupd,
police,
chief
Lee
is
no
longer
affiliated
with
the
university
I
can
assume
that
it
is
related
to
this
incident
and
Mr
Barrio,
of
course,
filed
a
federal
civil
rights
lawsuit
against
the
university.
B
It
has
been
settled
and,
as
with
most
settlements,
I
do
believe
that
there's
a
non-disclosure
agreement,
so
we
may
or
may
not
hear
much
more
about
the
results
of
that
lawsuit,
and
that
was
for
a
violation
of
your
civil
rights,
false
arrests
and
I.
Believe
it's
one
other
thing
now:
IU
I
think
the
officials
would
have
this
say
this.
Is
that
open,
but
I
think
it
goes
a
little
deeper
than
it
we're
talking
about
a
culture.
I
do
believe.
B
The
first
thing
I
want
to
know
is
how
has
that
parking
lot
attended
been
trained
to
handle
such
situations
like
that
I'll
remind
you.
This
was
a
three
dollar
parking
ticket.
The
next
thing
I'm
concerned
with
or
wonder
the
two
re
responding
officers
who
were
sent
to
his
residence.
B
What
about
the
the
next
level
at
the
chain
of
command?
We
either
ordered
or
instructed
them
to
go
to
his
residence
and
I'd
also
want
to
know
with
iupd
and
what
are
their
diversity
training
guidelines
specifically
with
anti-bias
and
anti-racial
training
or
in
racial
training,
I'm,
sorry,
anti-bias
and
racial
training.
I
think
these
are
some
questions
that
go
a
little
deeper
than
the
surface,
and
the
headlines
and
I
just
want
my
colleagues
in
this
community
to
think
about
those
terms,
and
hopefully
we
can
make
other
progress
throughout
the
community.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
Thank
you,
councilmember
Sims,
council
member
Flaherty.
D
All
right
and
councilmember,
rosenbarker
and
and
I
have
a
joint
report
on
the
local
progress
National
convening,
which
we
attended,
along
with
council
member
Flaherty
on
September
7th
through
9th
and
councilmember
rosenbauer.
Would
you
like
to
start?
We
have
a
slideshow
here
as
well.
D
So
one
of
the
first
presentations
I
attended
was
about
getting
public
input
into
the
budget
process
and
in
Chicago
they
had
a
really
interesting
process
for
the
2021
budget.
So
it's
been
a
couple
years
where
they
partnered
with
non-profit,
to
go
out
into
communities.
They
picked
three
13
neighborhoods
that
have
been
traditionally
underserved
and
actually
asked
people.
What
does
your
community
need
to
be
safe
and
thriving,
and
their
method
was
interesting
because
it
was
really
Hands-On?
D
It
was,
you
know,
publicizing,
there's
going
to
be
a
meeting
at
your
neighborhood
park
and
they're
gonna.
They
had
this
board
with
different
categories
and
they
gave
people
like
10
chips
and
put
it.
You
know
as
many
chips
in
different
categories
that
you
think
are.
The
pro
should
be
the
priority
for
the
city's
budget,
and
then
they
they
compiled
that
information
and
they
also
had
an
online
survey
and
they
used
that
to
guide
their
budget
decisions
for
2021.
J
Another
session
that
I
think
the
three
of
us
attended
was
on
policing
in
the
prison
system,
and
it
asked
the
question:
do
I
have
a
role
as
a
local
elected
official
or
as
a
city,
council,
member
and
so
this
session,
along
with
some
others
started
with
defining
Public,
Safety
and
I.
Just
wanted
to
read
that
real
safety
is
when
people
have
everything
they
need
to
thrive,
a
place
to
live
a
dignified
job
that
provides
Economic,
Security
and
access
to
Opportunities
and
the
resources
to
care
for
themselves
and
their
loved
ones.
J
D
So
we
talked
about
how
we
can
break
down
systems
of
Oppression
and
build
up
systems
of
support,
so
this
is
all
key
to
a
thriving
community
and
to
Public
Safety
according
to
the
broader
definition
that
my
colleague
just
read.
So
some
of
the
examples
from
different
cities
are
help
for
domestic
violence
survivors
without
involving
the
police,
because
many
times
they
do
not
want
to
involve
the
police,
but
they
still
need
help
the
use
of
tax
revenues
for
such
things
as
youth
programming,
low-income
housing
and
Social
Services.
D
Instead
of
expanding
the
carceral
or
prison
system
support
for
mediation
services-
and
this
was
an
interesting
specific
example-
lowering
the
barriers
for
becoming
a
street
vendor
to
make
that
a
more
accessible
option
for
people
to
you
know
generate
income
and
support
themselves
and
which
also
would
lead
to
less
police
involvement.
If
there
were
less
requirements
that
people
needed
to
meet
for
that
activity,.
D
J
They
gotten
out
of
order.
I
know
it's
right
here
as
number
five:
okay,
well
I'll,
just
it's
okay!
It's
a
Durham,
North
Carolina
example
that
I'll
just
talk
about
it's,
so
Durham
created
what
they
call
the
heart
program
and
it
has
four
components.
This
is
in
line
with
the
breaking
down
systems
of
Oppression
and
building
up
systems
of
support
as
well.
So
the
first
part
of
this
program
is
the
crisis
called
diversion
and
that
embeds
mental
health
clinicians
in
Durham's
9-1-1
call
center.
J
We
just
wanted
to
add
in
four
really
neat
links
and
helpful
links
for
Public
Safety
and
one
is
a
free
public
safety
10
week
class
that
is
with
and
for
Community.
It
is
ten
one
and
a
half
hour
sessions
and
anyone
can
do
it
and
we
could
do
something
here
like
it
and
have
everyone
or
have
groups,
do
it
together,
but
it
doesn't
have
any
homework
and
all
of
the
reading
and
material
is
in
that
1.5
hour
lesson
for
10
weeks.
J
We
also
received
a
really
useful
flow
chart
for
decision
making
and
it
was
about
who
has
helped
and
who
was
harmed
by
any
decision,
and
so
we
will
I
think
share
that
at
some
point
with
our
colleagues
and
then
Durham's
heart
program
has
a
dashboard
where
they
keep
track
of
all
the
work
they're
doing
and
that
is
linked.
And
then
local
progress
on
its
own
website
has
a
creating
a
community
responder
program.
Booklet
pretty
much
for
communities
to
use.
D
Okay,
so
another
Workshop
that
we
attended
was
called
supporting
our
unhoused,
neighbors
and
kind
of
an
overview
of
that
is
first
of
all
talk.
We
talked
about
how
the
status
quo
is
not
working.
The
system
is
broken.
D
Next,
we
have
to
triage
Solutions
in
the
current
system
to
help
people
basically
stay
alive
and
Thrive,
while
at
the
same
time
we're
working
to
address
the
roots
of
homelessness.
So
interim
solutions
that
were
discussed
are
probably
familiar
to
many
here
in
the
community:
rapid,
rehousing,
emergency
shelter
and
safe
spaces
to
park
and
to
camp.
J
One
example
is
from
Denver,
of
course,
Denver
is
a
much
larger
city
than
us,
but
we
a
lot
of
the
Cities
across
the
U.S.
No
matter
the
size
are
facing
some
of
the
same
problems
so
similar
to
us.
They
have
a
98
percent
occupancy
rate
in
their
housing.
They
in
2020
started
a
safe
parking
and
camping
program,
and
so
some
of
the
takeaways
from
that
were,
as
you
can
see
in
the
picture
they
had
uniform
tints
set
up,
so
these
were
supplied
by
city
and
their
the
city
and
their
partners.
J
The
city
of
Denver
also,
of
course,
got
a
lot
more
arpa
funding
than
we
did
and
they
donated
80
million
of
funds
to
this
program.
It
was
piloted
in
2020
and
then
codified
in
2023,
so
they
had
some
bumps
and
made
some
changes
but
codified
that
in
2023
they
also
started
a
housing
court
to
decriminalize
some
offenses
like
public
intoxication
and
public
urination,
so
folks
were
diverted
from
jail
and
then
Denver
has
an
affordable
housing
fund
where
40
of
that
fund
goes
to
unhoused
housing
and
10
percent
goes
to
Supportive
Services.
D
I
see
that
we've
used
up
20
minutes
in
this
portion
of
the
agenda,
which
is
usually
limited
to
20
minutes.
Unless
I
hear
any
opposition
from
my
colleagues.
I
would
like
to
extend
this
for
another
10
minutes.
Maximum.
C
D
D
D
So
another
interim
solution
was
presented
by
Oklahoma
City.
They
have
a
program
called
key
to
home
partnership
and
they
their
goal
was
to
to
eliminate
encampments
with
a
goal
of
75
reduction
of
homelessness
within
two
years,
and
this
was
just
started
this
year-
I
believe
so
the
the
first
they
they've
closed,
two
or
three
encampments,
and
this
is-
and
these
are
the
steps
that
they
followed.
So
first
they
reached
out
to
the
people
in
the
encampment.
Talk
to
them
see
what
needs
they
they
had.
D
Then
they
identified
available
rental
units
in
the
community,
which
may
be
easier
in
Oklahoma
City
than
in
Bloomington
Indiana,
but
this
is
what
they
were
able
to
do
and
then
they
helped
people
from
the
encampment
move
in
and
stabilize
within
those
available
rental
units
as
a
scattered
site,
Supportive
Housing,
Network
kind
of
like
we
do
have
scattered
sites
for
the
beacon
and
the
Name
Escapes
Me
The
Beacon
housing
on
South
Henderson.
What's
it
called,
never
mind
Crawford
homes,
yes,
Crawford
homes
has
a
scattered
site
program
too.
D
So
that's
the
the
model
that
they
used
in
step
three
and
then
they
closed
that
particular
encampment
site
and
would
monitor
it
to
make
sure
that
people
did
not
come
back.
So
that
was
an
interesting
model
to
hear
about
at
the
conference.
D
Awesome,
okay,
so
we
also
talked
about
maintaining
current
affordable
housing.
One
Workshop
was
focused
on
gentrification
and
the
problem
of
you
know:
pricing
people
out
of
their
homes.
A
lot
of
it
was
focused
on
Philadelphia.
They
have
a
neighborhood
preservation
initiative
there.
They
also
have
an
eviction
diversion
program
Pittsburgh
there
they
had,
they
used
a
real
estate
transfer
tax
of
five
percent
on
real
estate
transactions,
to
support
retention
of
affordable
housing
and
in
St
Louis
itself.
D
Also
there
it's
not
up
there,
but
there's
an
initiative
called
rooted,
cultivating
black
wealth
in
place
and
that
is
to
focus
on
black
neighborhoods
and
make
sure
people
can
own
their
homes
there
and
and
stay
in
their
family
homes.
So
that's
an
interesting
local
example.
We
heard
about.
J
So
that's
a
highlight
from
some
of
the
sessions
we
attended,
I
also
attended
one
on
transition,
since
we
have
a
new
mayor
coming
in
and
many
new
council
members.
That
was
very
useful
if
anyone
would
like
more
information.
That
is
the
website.
Localprogress.Org
I
think
these
slides
went
out
and
a
packet
addendum
and
then,
if
you
would
like,
if
not,
if
you'd
like
a
copy,
you
can
contact
the
Council
Office.
D
D
D
So
then
we
come
to
a
review
of
the
community
advisory
on
Public
Safety
Commission,
which
is
an
unusual
thing
for
us
to
do
it's
a
relatively
new
commission
and
when
it
was
created,
it
included
a
review
after
two
years
and
I'm
going
to
ask
a
council
attorney
Lucas
to
kind
of
just
explain
what
this
review
is
about
and
how
we
can
perhaps
go
about
it.
L
L
That
ordinance
set
out
the
goal
of
the
Caps
commission,
which
was
to
is
to
increase
the
safety
of
all
Bloomington
community
members,
especially
those
often
marginalized,
due
to
race,
disability,
gender,
sexual
identity
or
sexual
orientation.
It
also
set
out
several
purposes
and
duties
of
the
commission
that
were
included
in
the
memo
for
tonight's
meeting.
L
L
The
council
has
heard
two
annual
reports
from
the
Caps
commission
recently
I
believe
in
August,
and
there
are
a
number
of
items
the
commission
has
published
on
its
web
page
to
advocate
for
different
positions
and
that
web
page
also
includes
a
fairly
lengthy
report
recently
produced
by
the
commission,
making
several
recommendations
related
to
Public
Safety
Alternatives
I
will
note
the
ordinance
that
set
up
the
commission
doesn't
specify
any
action
for
the
council
to
take
other
than
reviewing
the
the
need
for
and
efficacy
of
the
commission.
So
tonight's
agenda
includes
this
item.
L
To
give
you
all
a
chance
to
do
that.
That
could
simply
be
a
discussion.
However,
much
discussion
you
feel
is
is
appropriate.
I
will
note
that
absent
a
member
of
the
council
or
or
the
administration
bringing
forward
an
ordinance
to
make
any
changes
to
the
commission,
whether
that
be
a
change
to
the
membership,
a
number
of
seats,
whatever
those
changes
might
be.
The
commission
would
continue
to
operate
as
called
for
by
local
codes.
So
that's
sort
of
the
starting
point
tonight's.
An
opportunity
to
review
the
commission.
L
D
B
Oops
sounds
like
I
have
a
double
voice.
Coming
what
I'd
like
to
know
when
the
Caps
commission
was
started,
I
believe
there
were
11
positions,
there
were
Commissioners
that
were
selected
from
different
populations
throughout
the
city.
I
think
my
question
is:
are
we
fully
staffed
on
that
commission
I
believe
with
the
11
members
are?
Are
we
short
and
do
we
have
plans
to
fail
that
commission,
if
not.
L
He
has
11
total
seats,
I
believe
six
are
currently
filled,
so
there
are
five
vacancies.
I
would
note
that
the
commission
has
rarely
had
all
11
seats
filled
for
from
for
long
any
length
of
time.
I
think
that
may
be
true
of
other
commissions
that
have
difficulties
keeping
keeping
seats
filled
so
I,
don't
know
that
that's
a
unique
problem
but
I
would
say
that's
been
an
ongoing
challenge.
L
Many
of
the
folks
who
have
stepped
off
the
commission
at
least
more
recently
I
believe
have
done
so
due
to
scheduling
conflicts
with
their
jobs,
School
other
other
things
going
on
in
their
life.
So.
D
G
Yes,
I
am
thank
you.
Yes,
we
were
just
notified
a
couple
days
ago
that
we
have
some
new
applications
in,
and
so
we
have
an
opportunity
to
do
those
interviews
we
just
haven't
all
been
in
town
at
the
same
time.
So
so
yes,
it's
a
short
answer.
We
have
some
new
applicants
who
are
very
well
aware
of
the
unfilled
positions
on
the
Caps
commission
and
I.
Do
have
a
question.
D
H
Yes,
I'd
like
to
give
Mr
McCulloch
a
chance
to
to
talk
about
the
state
of
the
commission,
specifically
with
respect
to
what
councilman
Sims
was
referring
to.
There
are,
in
fact
a
bare
majority
of
seats
filled,
and
that
seems
to
have
been
one
of
the
greatest
challenges
of
this
commission
is
filling
all
the
seats
Can.
H
The
commission
talk
about
how
this
has
affected
its
ability
to
deliberate,
whether
or
not
it
would
be
a
value
to
reduce
the
size
of
the
commission
and
to
characterize
as
best
they
can
why.
Besides
the
recent
schedule
conflicts,
it
might
have
been
so
difficult
to
staff
the
commission
or
to
fill
the
the
seats
Mrs
Alec.
Can
you
say
something
about
it.
F
D
G
Will
so
please
create
a
diversion
install
for
a
minute.
I
If
I
may
ask
well,
I
was
going
to
ask
Mr
Lucas,
but
he's
really
busy.
If
someone
would
just
review
the
goal
of
the
commission
and
then
when
we
speak
of
the
you
know,
what's
been
going
on,
then
we'll
just
have
an
idea
of
the
context.
D
I
can
do
that
so
the
the
legislation
that
created
the
commission
has
the
following
four
purposes,
for
it:
perform
research
and
gather
data
on
the
perceptions
and
preferences
about
Public
Safety
from
community
members,
with
specific
focus
on
perceptions
and
preference
data
gathered
from
Minority
community
members,
individuals
who
are
disabled
and
other
often
marginalized.
D
M
Yeah,
and
so
we
say
McCulloch
but
council,
member
Scandal
Harry
is
right.
Maholic
is
the
culturally
appropriate
way
to
pronounce
it.
So
we
mispronounce
it.
D
Okay,
well,
in
any
case,
welcome
did
you
hear
councilmember
volan's
question,
or
should
he
repeat
it.
H
You,
madam
chair,
so
the
specific
concern
that
I've
frankly
always
had
about
the
commission
is
its
size.
There
are
11
seats
while
we
were
waiting
for
you
to
rejoin
I've
been
looking
at
the
as
of
right.
Now
there
are
six
seats
filled
and
a
couple
of
people
I
note
of
just
resigned
this
month
and
Mr
Lucas
says
it's
due
to
scheduling
issues,
but
there
is
a
Litany
of
people.
H
Who've
been
on
the
commission
for
three
months
and
have
left
six
months
and
have
left
and
again
there
are
so
many
seats
open
that
it
begs
the
question:
should
this
the
commission
be
as
big
as
it
is:
can
it
do
with
nine
or
seven
members
What?
To
what
extent
does
the
lack
of
of
filled
seats
affect
the
commission's
ability
to
both
deliberate
and
to
make
recommendations.
M
Excellent
well,
thank
you
for
your
question
council
member
of
Allen,
so
I
would
say
from
my
experience
that
one
of
the
difficulties,
one
of
the
the
the.
M
Of
pulling
people
with
lived
experience
for
a
commission
like
this
is
that
those
people
necessarily
have
constraints.
So
a
lot
of
the
people
so
I've
been
on
the
commission
for
a
little
over
a
year
and
a
half
and
people
who
have
come
and
gone
have
gone
because
they
have
those
constraints
on
that
of
Life
constraints,
which
is
sad
because
every
member
who
has
stepped
off
the
commission
had
a
good
perspective
that
we
lost,
and
so
we
try
to
retain
those
I
would
say:
there's
not
a
noticeable
detriment
to
having
open
seats.
M
We
don't
notice
when
those
seats
aren't
filled.
It's
only
a
problem
if
the
seats
are
filled
by
people
who
are
unable
to
attend,
but
usually
they're
unable
to
attend
infants
in
regular
ways
that
that
would
harm
the
Quorum
of
the
commission.
M
D
Thank
you,
Mr
McCulloch,
council
member
scandaluri.
You
had.
G
A
question:
yes,
thank
you,
Mr
maholic!
Are
there
any?
My
question
is
much
along
the
same
vein
and
that
and
that's
the
potential
of
being
short-handed
or
short
staffed,
so
to
speak
on
this
commission.
G
A
M
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question.
Thank
you,
council
members,
Kim
Larry,
so
I
would
say
what's
what's
difficult.
Is
people
who
might
feel
like
they'd
be
alienated
right?
M
I
would
say
that
we're
starting
to
get
people
who
can
represent
that
foreign,
but
then
also
you
know
we
we
only
have
you
know
representation
from
prominent
racial
groups
right
like
black
and
Latino,
but
we're
we're
only
just
now
starting
to
get
people
from
Beyond.
That
and
I
know
we
have
never
I,
don't
think
in
the
time
I've
been
on
it.
M
We
haven't
had
somebody
who
could
speak
to
the
live
reality
of
an
Asian
American
and
we've
had
plenty
of
issues
with
marginalization
in
Bloomington
for
Asian
communities.
So
that
would
be
one
demographic
that
we
don't
have
anybody
who
could
speak
to.
D
G
I
need
a
little
bit
of
runway
for
this
question,
so
bear
with
me
for
a
second
one
of
my
concerns
when
we
first
began
talking
about
the
Caps
commission
a
couple
years
ago.
Is
that
the
very
nature
of
boards
and
commissions,
as
you
suggested
it
doesn't
lend
itself
well
to
everybody's
life.
G
It
lends
itself
well
to
those
who
have
their
own
computers
and
those
who
have
their
own
Wi-Fi
access
and
those
who
can
attend
boards
and
and
commission
meetings
and
so
forth,
and
so
I
I'd
like
to
ask
a
broader
question:
is
there
some
way
to
rethink
or
reimagine
the
Caps
Commission
such
that
it
would
be
more
open
to
those
with
some
of
the
lived
experiences
that
we're
seeking
I?
G
Don't
have
a
magic
answer
to
that
in
my
head,
but
but
again,
I
know
the
very
nature
of
boards
and
commissions
might
make
this
difficult
and
these
positions
difficult
to
fill.
So
is
there
something
we
haven't
thought
of
in
terms
of
how
to
structure
this
or
what
our
practices
are?
C
M
Yeah,
certainly
not
restructure,
like
I,
don't
have
an
idea
of
how
it
might
be
structured.
Better
I
can
say
that
when
I
first
started
on
the
commission,
we
just
did
kind
of
surveys.
M
The
research
community
did
surveys,
but
with
our
alternative,
Public
Safety
Outreach
I
feel,
like
we've,
been
actually
reaching
more
people,
because
we've
been
going
to
those
communities
so
like
the
service
centers
for
people
experiencing
homelessness,
which
doesn't
get
their
voices
directly
heard,
but
we're
able
to
represent
exactly
what
they
say
and
to
quote
them
in
terms
of
restructuring
it
in
a
way,
that's
more
open.
M
It's
it's
difficult
because
you
know
ever
in
in
governance,
everyone
has
to
be
represented
represented
even
in
a
a
public
meeting
of
the
the
city
council.
You
have
public
comment
is
limited,
so
I
don't
know
it's
a
good
question,
though
yeah.
C
D
D
All
right-
and
we
are
approaching
the
20-minute
Mark
for
this
portion
of
the
agenda
that
is
limited
to
20
minutes.
So
unless
there's
any
opposition,
if
we
could
extend
for
another
maximum
of
another
10
minutes,
any
opposition,
no
good
any
other
questions.
D
From
council
members,
okay,
seeing
none
thank
you
Mr
MC!
Oh
there
is.
G
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
Mr
mahalik.
Thank
you
for
clarifying
that
as
well.
Yes,
basically,
since
this
is
the
report
that
the
commission
should
give
to
the
council
or
one
of
them,
the
annual
reports
I
think
and
something
I
think
that
would
be
good
for
Community
awareness
and
part
of
this
record.
I.
C
B
There's
11
positions
in
each
one
of
those
are
intended
to
capture
a
certain
demographic
or
a
population
throughout
the
city.
Can
you
just
for
the
sake
of
this
meeting
and
those
that
are
interested?
Can
you
run
through
those
11
and
Men
I?
Don't
need
exhausted,
but
what
what
are
they.
D
I'm
sorry
can
I
insert
a
point
of
information
here.
The
there
are
not
like
specific
seats
designated
for
specific
types
of
community
members.
That
is
that's
not
the
way
the
commission
was
set
up,
am
I.
Misunderstanding
council,
member
Sims.
B
No
there's
not
seats
per
se,
but
we
wanted
to
capture
certain
different
Graphics
across
the
city
homeless,
those
recently
incarcerated.
You
know
that
sort
of
thing.
So,
if
that's
improper,
you
can,
let
me
know,
but
I-
think
that's
important
for
the
awareness
of
community
members
trying
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
this
commission
and
their
potential
work.
D
D
All
right,
Mr
Michaela,
can
you.
L
Ordinance
itself
lists
qualifications
for
applicants,
but
also
notes
that
certain
residents
from
historically
underrepresented
groups
are
strongly
encouraged
to
apply
and
then
and
goes
on
to
list
those
communities,
including
residents
who
are
black
Latin
latinx
people
of
color
people
with
disabilities,
people
who
are
experiencing
or
who
have
experienced
mental
health
challenges,
people
who
Express
non-binary
gender
identity
or
non-cisgender
people
who
are
experiencing
or
who
have
experienced
homelessness,
who
are
experiencing
or
who
have
experienced
domestic
violence.
D
M
So
let
me
just
take
a
look
at
the
chairs
or
the
so
currently
sorry.
E
Sorry
to
interrupt
Mr,
mahoga,
I
guess
I
have
a
concern
that
I
wanted
to
raise
before
we
proceed,
which
is
a
level
of
given
the
limited
nature
of
the
of
the
commission
and,
like
I,
think
speaking
generally
to
its
representation
over
time
might
be
more
appropriate
than
identifying
particular
characteristics
that
might
be
marginalized
or
oppressed
or
otherwise
targeted
in
our
Society.
D
A
very
good
point-
maybe
maybe
you
could
speak
more
generally
about
which
voices
have
been
heard
or
have
yeah
have
participated
in
in
the
caps
without.
B
Yes,
I
simply
wanted
to
go
down
the
list
on
the
demographics.
We
were
looking
to
serve
this
commission,
nothing
more,
nothing
less
I
don't
want
to
get
in.
It
was
not
my
intent
to
get
out
into
the
weeds
and
all
these,
but
there
are
11
specific
demographics
and
I.
Think
Mr
Lucas
read
those
off
as
they
were
in
the
ordinance.
So
that's
sufficient
for
me.
D
B
D
All
right,
let's
move
on
to
council
member
comments.
Are
there
any
comments
in
regard
to
the
review
of
the
Caps
Commission.
H
I
think
the
answer
to
my
earlier
question
perhaps
puts
the
later
question
about
the
makeup
of
the
commission
to
rest.
I
feel
satisfied
that,
despite
the
fact
that
we
have
open
seats,
at
least
there
is
room
to
solicit
the
participation
of
groups
that
may
not
be
represented
on
the
commission
yet
and
that
it's
really
more
a
matter
of
who
and
to
what
extent
are
they
doing
the
soliciting
I,
don't
know
that
it
should
be
solely
up
to
the
cap
commission
to
solicit
members.
H
E
Thank
you
first
and
note
that
the
the
council
special
committee
on
Council
processes
is
undertaking
the
Novak
report,
Novak
Consulting
groups,
organizational
assessment,
Awards
and
commissions
more
broadly,
and
something
we
discussed
in
our
meeting
last
week
and
and
plan
to
do
is
to
actually
look
at
kind
of
the
purview
and
focus
of
most
of
the
City
Sports
exhibitions,
not
all
of
them.
E
Some
of
them
are
are
sort
of
bodies
that
only
serve
the
board
of
parks
Commissioners,
for
instance,
or
the
mayor,
and
are
a
little
bit
less
relevant
to
council's
work,
but
the
majority
of
them
were
trying
to
take
up
and
revisit
and
say,
how's
it
going.
Are
you
focusing
on
what
your
original
charter
was
intended?
E
Are
there
changes
or
structures
that
could
that
could
be
different
to
help
you
so
we're
kind
of
undertaking
some
level
of
of
review
and
reconsideration
of
purview
for
all
of
our
boards
and
commissions,
which
I
think
is,
is
a
good
thing
to
do
and
I
think
this
complements
that
I
think
the
the
language
reference
by
Mr
Lucas
was
the
need
for
an
efficacy
of
a
commission
I.
Think,
for
me,
the
the
need
for
is
is
still
very
much
there
and
still
an
evolving
question.
E
I'll
note
that
some
of
the
things
that
were
highlighted
by
councilman
versus
Piedmont,
Smith
and
Rosenberger
as
best
practices
nationally,
that
we
learned
firsthand
about
from
council
members
and
Mayors
and
and
leaders
from
around
the
country
are,
are
some
of
the
best
practices
and
and
examples
and
cited
by
the
Commission
in
its
extensive
research
in
its
role,
so
I
think
that's
telling
of
the
the
quality
of
the
work
they've
done.
E
I,
don't
think
the
structure
is
the
most
I,
don't
think
it's
optimal
in
terms
of
its
relation
to
the
mayor's
Administration
and
I.
Think
that
was
a
product
of
focus
and
imperfect
collaboration
at
the
time
of
its
formation.
I'll
note
things
that
have
worked
on
similar
similar,
but
different
items
include
the
Board
of
Public
Safety,
a
future
of
policing
task
force,
a
racial
I
think
a
racial
Justice
task
force
I
think
that's
what
it's
called
it
could
be
getting
the
name
wrong.
E
These
are
all
sort
of
things
on
the
mayor's
side
that
have
actually
very
little
or
no
council
involvement,
not
much
visibility,
and
there
were
efforts
and
to
have
a
more
collaborative
approach
that
were
not
successful
at
that
time.
E
I
remain
very
open
to
finding
more
collaborative
structures
and
I
think
we
should
be
thinking
critically
about
what
what
type
of
Evolutions
might
be
helpful
for
this
group,
but
in
terms
of
their
purview
and
the
focus
of
a
more
rooted
concept
of
public
safety
that
has
to
do
with
people's
basic
ability
to
meet
their
own
needs.
I
think
that's
still
very
much
needed
in
terms
of
the
efficacy
of
I'll.
E
Note
that
the
two
annual
reports
we've
gotten,
especially
the
most
recent
one,
are
probably
more
robust
and
in
depth
than
almost
anything
we
get
from
any
other
commission
and
also
in
city
code,
there's
kind
of
an
expanded
version
of
what
the
commission
shall
do.
It's
actually
I
think
Six
Bullets.
One
of
them
has
three
sub
bullets,
I
kind
of
reviewed
that
in
preparation
for
tonight's
meeting
and
I
think
they've
done
all
of
it.
I
think
they've,
actually
at
some
level
done
done.
E
Everything
that's
been
tasked
with
that
commission
and
I
want
to
thank
them
for
their
work
and
and
I.
Think
it's
a
credit
to
the
effort
they've
put
in
so
I
think
we
should
very
much
be
thinking
about
how
this
should
change
or
evolve
over
time,
especially
as
any
of
the
recommendations
get
taken
up,
but
I
think
on
the
need
for
an
efficacy
of
I
I,
find
it
past
semester
personally
past
this
muster.
Thank
you.
D
Well,
I'll
I'll.
Take
the
opportunity
to
weigh
in
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
what
council
member
Flaherty
said.
This.
The
need
for
the
commission
is
still
very
strong
and
we
learned
at
the
local
progress
convening
of
some
other
some
some
of
the
initiatives
that
caps
actually
has
already
studied
and
some
that
maybe
they
have
not
and
I
think
that
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
improve
Public
Safety
for
a
broad
swath
of
our
community
and
so
and
we
need.
D
We
need
guidance
and
advice
for
that
and
I.
Think
that
that
the
Caps
commission
plays
that
vital
role.
I
recognize
the
commission
had
some
Growing
Pains.
It
was
a
difficult
beginning
and
I
think
that
is
just
the
nature
of
starting
a
brand
new
commission
and
also
of
seeking
to
be
very
Democratic
in
its
processes
and
very
inclusive
in
its
membership
and
therefore
including
members
who
may
not
be
used
to
working
in
a
committee
structure.
D
But,
as
councilmember
Flaherty
said,
I'm
very
impressed
by
the
work
that
has
that
the
Caps
commission
has
done
and
their
annual
reports
show
that
and
the
especially
the
the
recent
alternatives
to
Public
Safety
report
is
very
well
researched
and
logically
written
and
well
documented
and
has
appendices
of
all
the
interviews
done,
and
it's
really
really
important.
D
Reading
for
local
leaders
as
far
as
work
with
the
mayor's
Administration
I
I
do
think
that
with
a
new
Administration
coming
in,
we
could
Forge
those
relationships
moving
forward
on
the
topic
of
Public
Safety
and
perhaps
also
on
this
commission.
So
any
other
comments
before
we
move
on
to
the
next
agenda
item:
okay,
thank
you,
Mr
McCulloch,
for
being
here
this
evening
and
for
your
leadership.
D
So
then
we
will
move
on
to
any
reports
from
Council
committees.
Are
there
any.
D
Okay,
seeing
none
we
will
move
on
to
our
first
segment
of
public
comments
on
items
not
on
the
agenda.
Can
I
see
a
show
of
hands
of
well
I,
think
the
one.
So
we
have.
We
have
two
in
Chambers.
No,
we
have
one
in
Chambers
and
before
that
person
speaks
here
in
person
attorney
Stephen
Lucas.
Could
you
please
give
the
prompt
for
people
participating
via
Zoom.
L
Yes,
if
there
are
folks
joining
electronically,
that
would
like
to
speak.
Please
let
us
know
by
raising
your
hand
in
Zoom,
you
can
find
the
raise
hand
button
in
your
control
bar
under
the
reactions,
tab
or
the
more
tab.
If
you
can't
locate
that,
please
send
a
chat
to
the
meeting
host
to.
Let
us
know
you'd
like
to
speak.
D
N
Hey
thanks:
my
name
is
Greg
Alexander.
When
I
heard
some
of
the
comments
from
last
week's
council
meeting
I
realized
I
owe
you
guys
an
update.
Five
years
ago,
I
started
a
campaign
showing
the
sidewalks
are
missing,
blocked
or
closed.
N
It's
probably
the
only
good
advocacy
idea
that
I've
had
City
departments
had
been
failing
to
provide
pedestrian
facilities
for
so
long
that
they
were
just
used
to
it
such
such
abject
failure.
It
begs
for
bluntness
in
a
context
like
that
I
can
contribute,
but
there
have
been
some
changes
in
five
years.
First
off
starting
this
summer.
Engineering
is
writing
tickets
for
vegetation
blogging
sidewalks.
They
added
a
new
staff
position.
They
worked
out
some
legal
questions
and
this
year
they're
writing
the
tickets
I
can't
report.
N
If
it's
having
any
effect,
you
know
there's
still
more
to
do,
but
I
came
here
so
many
times
and
pointed
out.
Nothing
is
happening
well,
something's
happening
now.
It's
a
first
step
and
Engineering
is
also
finding
contractors
that
violate
their
maintenance
and
traffic
plans.
I
went
to
the
Board
of
Public
Works
back
in
July,
just
to
witness
one
of
these
enforcement
actions.
N
At
that
same
July
meeting,
there
was
a
petition
to
close
the
sidewalk
just
north
of
the
new
Verve
Apartments,
where
Motel
6
used
to
be
the
petitioner
wanted
to
close
the
sidewalk
for
two
years,
the
entire
duration
of
their
project.
I've.
Given
the
same
speech
about
these
years-long
sidewalk
closures
about
a
dozen
times,
the
speech
never
works,
but
I
know
it
by
heart.
So
since
I
was
already
there,
I
went
ahead
and
wasted
the
board's
time
and
repeated
the
speech.
N
Then
I
sat
down
to
watch
them
close
the
sidewalk
the
board
had
a
surprise
for
me.
They
tabled
the
closure.
They
wanted
staff
to
work
with
the
petitioner
to
come
up
with
a
better
plan.
What,
as
I,
left
that
meeting
I
overheard
the
contractor
asking
staff
if
they
could
start
work
without
the
approval?
I've
heard
this
song
before
so
I
put
it
on
my
to-do
list.
I
went
a
couple
times
to
take
photos
of
the
blocked
sidewalk.
Another
surprise
I
want
to
convey
how
disorienting
this
is
for
me.
N
I
performed
this
kind
of
inspection
regularly
I
never
fail.
I
always
find
significant
non-compliance.
I
have
hundreds
of
photos
of
blocked
sidewalks,
but
I
failed
I
couldn't
photograph
a
blocked
sidewalk,
because
the
sidewalk
wasn't
blocked
at
the
next
Board
of
Public
Works
meeting
the
city
staff
member
reported
that
at
this
site
they
would
not
be
asking
for
a
long
closure.
Just
brief
closures
for
specific.
You
know
utilities
Cuts
Like,
like
they
do
for
the
cars
they
said.
N
In
the
meantime,
the
contractor
would
install
a
fence
to
make
sure
that
the
construction
site
doesn't
spill
out
in
the
right
of
the
way.
I've
heard
that
song
before
too,
instead
of
putting
the
fence
beside
the
sidewalk,
the
contractor
puts
the
fence
on
the
sidewalk.
So
it's
blocking
half
the
sidewalk
every
single
time
like
clockwork.
So
again,
I
went
to
photograph
that
blocked.
Sidewalk
I
went
twice
more.
N
N
So,
honestly,
this
puts
me
in
a
bind.
I
had
an
easy
talking,
a
point
that
any
council
member
could
appreciate
and
it's
gone
city
government
is
no
longer
asleep
at
the
switch
moving
forward.
I
have
to
struggle
with
Nuance.
N
There
is
still
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
For
example,
if
I
hadn't
been
there
at
that
Public
Works
meeting,
probably
the
sidewalk
would
be
closed
today
and
every
day
until
summer
of
2025.,
but
I
have
to
give
a
lot
of
credit
to
City
staff
and
I
want
to
thank
the
Board
of
Public
Works
for
standing
up
for
pedestrians.
This
time
and
I'm
grateful
to
this
body
for
passing
the
ordinance
that
authorizes
enforcement.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
O
My
goodness
I'm
sorry
I
started
hearing
enough
feedback.
My
name
is
Jamie
Shull
and
I'm,
not
sure.
If
members
of
council
were
aware
of
the
many
negative
comments
on
various
social
media
regarding
the
four
story,
all
Tower,
as
supposed
to
be
a
welcome,
so
I
thought
I
might
read
some
of
these
I'm
not
going
to
identify
anyone,
but
these
are
from
next
door
as
well
as
a
few
posts
on
Facebook,
so
comments
I'm.
Sorry,
I'll!
Try
to
keep
keep
an
eye
on
the
time
as
well.
O
O
O
O
The
design
brings
to
mind
something
related
relatable
to
ferals
and
George
Washington.
Oh,
what's
the
name?
What
is
it?
They
couldn't
even
find
a
Bloomington
firm
to
design
this
monstrosity.
O
Someone
else
agrees
with
this.
This
is
really
offensive
to
our
our
artistic
Town.
It
will
create
light
pollution.
O
It's
ironic
that
one
of
the
the
slighted
structure
stated
purposes
is
to
reflect
the
extensive
green
infrastructure
and
Native
plantings
at
Miller
showers
Park,
as
well
as
flemington's
commitment
to
promote
native
plants
and
diversity
into
the
city's
long
time
status
as
a
tree.
City
USA,
this
Monument
being
green,
is
as
real
as
Wellington
being
a
tree
City
in
something
other
than
name.
O
O
O
O
That's
just
that's
just
one,
but
if
I
wasn't
sure
I
hadn't
heard
any
other
comments
about
this,
and
if
the
council
has
any
say,
and
if
this
progresses
or
not
I
can
firmly
say
that
most
except
for
maybe
one
or
two
comments,
I've
read,
aren't
are
totally
not
for
this.
They
would
like
the
money
to
be
spent
someplace
else
and
if
it
is
going
to
be
spent
that
it
would
be
hiring
a
local,
firm
and
local
artists
or
Artisans
to
construct
something
that
truly
represents.
O
Our
community
I
know
that
one
of
these
on
the
bloomingtonian
got
over
893
comments.
That's
just
one
thanks
for
listening
and
for
considering
see
if
there's
something
we
could
do
to
actually
represent
the
city.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you.
Is
there
anybody
else
on
Zoom,
Mr
Lucas,
all
right?
We
will
move
on
to
the
next
part
of
our
agenda,
which
is
appointments
to
boards
and
commissions.
Do
any
of
the
interview
teams
have
recommendations
for
appointments
tonight.
D
Okay,
I
will
say
that
we
have
been
approached
by
the
planning
transportation
department
to
select
somebody
to
serve
on
the
Safe
Streets
for
all
steering
committee
and
council.
Member
rosenbarger
has
expressed
her
interest
in
this
position.
Is
anybody
else
interested
in
this
position.
D
I'll,
second,
all
right
will
the
clerk.
Please
call
the
roll.
F
B
H
E
D
All
right
with
thanks
to
councilmember
rosenbarger,
she
has
now
been
appointed
for
the
Safe
Streets
for
all
steering
committee.
D
We
have
no
legislation
for
second
readings
or
resolutions
this
evening.
So
we'll
move
on
to
legislation
for
first
readings.
C
D
G
D
And
before
the
clerk
calls,
the
role
on
introduction
of
this
ordinance
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
ordinance.
2322
will
move
to
Second
reading
at
our
regular
session
on
October
4th
so
clerk
Bolden.
Could
you
please
call
the
role
on
introduction
of
ordinance
2323.
F
F
D
D
D
D
All
right
well,
we'll
move
on
to
matters
of
council,
schedule
and
I
believe
we
have.
The
special
committee
on
Council
processes
that
will
meet
tomorrow
evening
at
7
pm
is
that
in
the
McCloskey
room,
Mr
Lucas.
D
In
the
Allison
conference
room
and
also
online,
we
have
a
special
session
immediately,
followed
by
Committee
of
the
whole
next
Wednesday
that
will
be
to
discuss
the
legislation
that
comprises
the
budget
for
the
city
of
Bloomington,
Bloomington,
Transit
and
utilities
that
is
scheduled
for
next
Wednesday.
Anything
else:
Mr
Lucas.
D
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
If
there's
nothing
else
for
the
good
of
the
order,
we
shall
adjourn.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
