B
C
Well,
I'm
I'm
sorry
what
was
the
is.
The
question.
C
The
the
the
place
for
the
current
proposed
place.
D
To
which
is
fine,
it
could
fit
in
either
place
they're,
pluses
and
minuses.
I
think,
as
I
tried
to
do
in
my
too
long
opening.
D
Statement
explained
that.
D
In
essence,
look
I
am
deeply
committed
to
accomplishing
the
results
and.
D
Accomplish
that-
and
I
am
perfectly
willing
and
think
it's.
D
View
on
that
and
others
may
too,
but
I
guess.
D
Structure
but
but
again
it's
certainly
a
reasonable
position.
Planning
was
important
in
the
development
of
the
tdm
position,
but
in
terms
of
executing
it.
A
We
finish
with
council
questions,
council
member
flaherty
sure
thanks.
F
Changes
to
the
budget
proposal
that
are
a
result
of
council
member.
F
That's
the
full
question,
absolutely
I
mean
we.
We
talked
about.
D
Police
department
changes
proposals
was
the
main
one.
D
Monetary
changes,
I
think
the
two
re,
the
two.
F
Comments
at
the
beginning
of
the
evening
about
the
administration's.
F
Position
regarding
various
you
know.
F
To
police,
policing
and
how
we
structure,
policing
and
new
positions.
F
We
heard
at
the
budget
hearings
in
august
and
now
have
there
been
any
changes,
and
I
I
guess
I
feel
like
maybe.
F
Your
initial
remarks
may
or
hamilton
were
responsive
to
a
different
question.
If
that
makes
sense.
F
Well,
maybe
I
didn't
follow
it
exactly.
We
with
140
questions
that
we
got.
D
Council
member
requests
th
those
that
we
got
that
that
I.
D
Of
the
142
questions,
most
of
those
were
really
about.
D
D
H
Comments
before
we
go
to
the
public,
okay,
seeing
none
clerk,
bowden.
J
Climate
change,
I
heard
the
same
arguments
made
about
bloomington
transit.
H
H
The
next
public
comment
and
the
next
voice
you
hear
after
that.
H
Else,
yes,
next,
thank
you.
A
comment
from.
K
Yes,
thank
you.
Sam
dove's
comment,
I
think,
is
actually
a
question.
K
Which
is
a
comment
or
a
sentiment?
I'm
sure
we
all
share.
I
Okay,
thank
you,
and
next
up
we
have
lisa
padoca.
If
you'd
like
to
unmute,
you.
L
Hi,
can
you
hear
me
yes
great?
I
just
have
a
quick
question
about.
L
Something
that
caroline
shaw
said
I
I
just
really
appreciated
how.
L
Quickly,
so
I
apologize
if
I
misunderstood
what.
L
She
was
saying,
but
it
just
popped
out
at
me,
so
I
just
wanted
to.
L
Clarify
about
it-
and
I
understand
if
she
can't,
if
you
can't
caroline
shaw,
respond
directly
to
this,
but
because
I
think
it.
M
I
am
I
allowed
to
respond
to
that.
I
I
I
just
I
didn't
think
I
was.
A
N
Creates
a
past
dependency
issue,
I
heard
your
hr
person.
I
believe
that.
N
How
this
the
approach
that
we're
using
here
in
bloomington
is
being
used
as
a
model
for
other
communities.
N
Services
and
programs
out
there
that
that.
N
So
they're
doing
it
they've
started
a
pilot's,
been
very
successful.
It
saves
the
community
money,
so
there
are
other
ways
to
do
this.
We
don't
need
to
jump
on
this.
N
Services
and
safety
to
our
community,
so
I
just
urge
you
to
hit
pause
on.
O
I
guess
first
like
to
add
my
voice
in
agreement
with
the.
O
Last
two
comments
and
and
urge
the
council
to
hit
pause
on.
O
Everyone
else
and
and
and
let's
let's
get
rid
of
the.
O
While
we're
at
this
item,
I
would,
I
would
also
like
to
go
into
an
exchange.
O
Okay,
all
right
yeah.
I
would
like
to
go
into
a
different
exchange
about.
O
Set
our
game
up
in
that.
O
Changed
I
I
hope
that
data
is
being
collected
on.
O
You
know
the
the
discrepancies
and
arrest
rates
and
use
of
force
rates.
O
And
whatnot,
but
let's
let's:
let's
try
to
do
better
on
that.
However,
we
can.
O
Trying
to
gather
data
on
on
this
issue,
that's
very,
very
important
to
our.
P
Thank
you
very
much
good
evening.
Everyone,
it's
erin
fredmore
with
the.
P
Chamber
of
commerce-
and
I
just
wanted
to
bring
kind
of.
P
Consider
the
budget
tonight
just
to
remind
everyone
and
all
of
our.
P
Time
after
receiving
the
budget,
the
proceeding
friday,
so
it
was
on
that
wednesday,
which
I
know
was
it
was
a
great
deal
of
information
and
and
many
people,
including
many
council
members,
were
still
digesting
the
material
at.
P
That
time,
the
next
time
that
we
had
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
is
tonight.
However,
the
chamber
discovered
last
week.
P
That
the
budget
has
was
formally
noticed
which
eliminates
all
ability
was.
P
Chamber's
disappointed
by
the
lack
of
transparency
and
collaboration.
P
P
And
the
administration,
then
it
makes
this
entire.
P
Bloomington,
and
so
I
encourage
you
all
to
look
closely
at
that
and
to
use
your
own
opportunities
to
publicize
this.
A
Thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
additional
comments.
A
Seeing
none:
let's
return
to
council
council
questions,
additional
council.
R
Yes,
I
was
wondering
if
ms
shaw
wanted
to
respond
to
the.
R
Traffic
calming
program
and
when
that
might
come
up
so
that
that.
S
Thank
you,
council
person,
piedmont,
smith,
I'm
so
glad
that
you
clarified
that.
S
Thank
you
very
much
because
we
want
some
traffic
coming.
S
Look
see
and
maybe
some
speed
bumps
in
our
neighborhood.
G
Esd
the
number
one
question.
G
That
I
would
ask
them,
was
addressed
in
the.
G
There's
been
no
written
statement
of
this,
but
it
certainly
tells
me
it
reaf,
reasserts
sort
of
the.
G
On
not
wanting
to
talk
about
transportation
policy.
G
Explicitly,
I
am
thinking
back
to
the
fourth
street
garage
how
for
about.
G
To
get
started,
the
amount
of
of
money
spent
on
it
if
it
hasn't.
G
R
Yeah,
I
think,
when
I
look
at
the
memo
that
we've.
R
Of
duke
energy,
increasing
rates
and
and
a
few
adjustments.
R
Of
of
payroll,
because
of
because
of
you
know,.
R
Longevity
I
mean
turnover
and
stuff
like
that.
There's
no.
R
Certainly,
not
those
that
were
requested
by
me.
R
From
danielle
byrd
about
the
social
workers.
R
R
Planning
and
transportation,
like
our
tdm
consultants,.
R
Who
worked
on
our
plan
recommended?
I.
R
And
I'm
tired
of
it.
What
ms
predmore
of
the
chamber
said.
R
A
a
slightly
bit
more
wiggle
room
because.
R
And
we
have
very
little
opportunity.
We
have
no
opportunity
really.
R
R
This
ordinance
there
are
some
necessary
new
positions,
some.
F
Vision
and
priorities,
zero
changes
were
made.
F
And
requests,
and
nor
do
I,
in
addition
to
my.
F
Colleagues
feel
like
our
requests
and
our
preferences
and.
F
Policy
priorities,
as
laid
out
in
the
budget
advance.
F
Meeting
were
taken
seriously,
I
talked
to
most
council
members
and.
F
F
F
F
And
we
simply
haven't
seen
that
and
that's
true
of
other
appropriation
ordinances
as
well.
So
there
are
broader
takeaways
here.
F
Predmore
spoke
to
there's
really
a
need
for.
F
F
Trade-Offs
as
opposed
to
this,
we
heard
your
concerns
did
nothing.
F
And
here's
the
budget
vote
yes
or
no,
that's
just
not
adequate.
Let's
see
you
know
on
policing
and
public
safety.
F
There's
a
lot
of
things
we
could
discuss.
I
will
say.
F
I'm
I've
been
generally
disappointed
with
the
answers
to
the
questions
that
I've
posed,
both
in
meetings
and
in
written
questions.
F
They're
only
partially
answered
in
particular,
I've
asked
repeatedly.
F
About
what
the
police
department
is
doing
to
engage
with
the
movement
for
black
lives,
which
is
a
coalition
of
of.
F
Color
of
change
and
others,
it's
it's
if
you're
not
familiar
folks
should.
F
F
F
And
I
broadly
agree
with
with
the
position.
F
Regarding
tdm,
you
know.
Similarly,
I,
the
mayor
and
city
staff,
a.
F
Just
like
most
cities
do
we
ignore
that
and
that
doesn't
make
sense
to.
F
Me
it's
it's
transportation
policy.
F
That
is
what
it
is
and,
and
frankly
you
know,
I
share
some.
F
Transportation
supply
and
demand
issues
that
there
are
some
some.
F
Many
things
I
just
don't
view
transfer
transportation
policy
as.
F
As
one
of
them
necessarily
so
sorry,
I
just
I
know,
that's
a
lot.
I.
F
B
I'll
go
ahead
and
give
one,
although
I
think
I'm
going
to
sound
a
little
repetitive
based
on
what's
been
said
so
far,.
B
About
what
makes
sense
times
that,
maybe
we
need
to
we're.
J
Sorry,
maybe
there
are
times
we
need
to.
D
Things-
and
we
certainly
have
actually.
D
Huge
change
in
the
budget
in
a
couple
years
ago,
that
was
in
response
to
feedback
on
the
budget
and
and
the.
D
D
A
reference
to
that,
the
the
in
terms
of
the
budget
advance,
which
is.
D
Discussion
so
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
to
share
that.
It's
it's
a
little.
D
Frustrating
to
hear
that
and
as
you
well
know
too,
we
did
meet.
D
D
A
M
Ordinance
2024,
which
also
assigns
an
additional
one
thousand
dollars
per
year,.
V
Utilities,
director
for
the
city,
I
would
appreciate,
if
you
would.
V
Indulge
me
for
just
a
moment
before
I
start,
because
I
want
to.
V
Wanted
to
make
mention
of
that
we're
here
tonight.
V
To
discuss
the
water
and
wastewater
budget.
V
And
the
the
way
it
all
works
is
we
budget
the.
V
Service
sinking
fund
and
then
whatever
else
is
left
of.
V
And
almost
a
million
dollars
for
storm.
V
Five
point:
five
point:
three:
seven
million
dollars
for
for.
V
Sewer
and
and
storm
combined
about.
V
Nine
hundred
thousand
of
that
is
for
the
stormwater
utility.
V
The
grand
total
budget
for
the
sewer
works
and
stormwater
utility.
R
Yeah,
mr
kelson,
could
you
please
explain.
R
In
the
section
one
for
the
water
utility.
R
Other
income,
where
does
that
come
from
in
the
water
utility
yeah.
A
Madam
clerk,
sorry,
no,
I
do
not
see
any.
A
K
Comment
portion
of
on
this
item
constitutes
the.
G
Yes,
mr
may
I'd
like
to
pick
up
on
a
a
theme
that
councilman
smith.
G
And
about
the
future
of
public
transit
with
respect
to
the
pandemic.
W
We're
in
uncharted
waters
so
to
speak
and
we're
greatly
concerned
about
the.
W
Funding
across
the
country
there,
so
it's
it's
hard
to
predict.
W
Questions
so
I'm
greatly
concerned,
I
guess
to.
W
I
I
don't
think
so.
We've
talked,
I
know
you
as
a
council.
W
That
issue
on
a
national
and
global.
W
Because
of
the
the
way
that
we
can
help
affect
this,
this
topic-
that
is
so.
X
This
is
an
updated
memo
from
what
I
presented.
X
You
as
an
apple
as
a.
X
App
board
that's
mandated
by
the
state,
so
everything
that
we've
kind
of.
X
Did
from
prior
to
this
is
processes
that.
X
And
it
really
dives
down
into
the
programs
of
those
and
we've
worked
with.
X
The
council,
over
the
last
four
years
to
kind.
X
Of
define
that
and
make
changes,
and
and
finally
this
year
I
think
we
we
got
to
a
good
point.
X
X
That
presented
in
those
programs-
and
we
had
20
hours
of
hearings
that
also.
X
Time
you
all
submitted
to
us
numerous
questions
of.
X
Funds
themselves,
we're
required
to
post
10
days
in
advance
of
the
public.
X
Hearing
which
is
tonight
on
the
department
of
government.
X
Finance
advertisement
that
advertises
both.
X
The
fund
balances
and
the
the
levies
that
go
with
that.
X
So,
unfortunately,
as
we
get
into
this
part
of
it,
it's
very
mandated
by
the
state,
we
can't
we
can't
alter
from
that
process,
and
then
we
also
have
to
advertise.
X
As
I
said,
you
can
cut
so
wanted
to
bring
that
out
that.
X
We
do
this
differently
than
most
municipalities.
I've
talked
to
many
of.
X
X
X
Remain
strong
in
2019,
we
ended
with
between
the
general
fund
balance
and.
X
The
rainy
day
fund
balance
50.9
percent,
which
basically
would
cover.
X
At
the
ends
of
20
and
21.
property
taxes
continue
to
be
the
biggest.
X
Revenues
in
the
general
fund-
and
we
expect.
X
Those
to
increase
by
4.2
percent
miscellaneous
revenues,
such
as
fees.
X
For
services,
fines,
interest,
income,
reimbursements
from
the
federal.
X
Government
represent
23
of
the
total
city
budget
and,
as
we've.
X
Noted
we're
proposing
to
use
two
million
dollars
from
the
rainy
day
fund
this
year
in
order
to
provide.
X
Ongoing
services,
local
income
taxes,
there's
been
a.
X
With
the
pandemic
and
the
governor
moving
out
the
tax
filing
deadlines
from
april
until
june.
X
And
then
moving
out
the
timelines
for
the
state
budget
agency
and
the.
X
A
1.18
million
dollars
in
additional
tiff.
X
Six
percent
this
decreases
primarily
due
to
a
decrease
of
five
million.
X
Dollars
in
food
beverage
funds
in
the
general
fund,
the
overall.
X
Budget
request
is
just
over
48.5
million
dollars.
X
And
194
000
decrease
in
property
taxes.
X
Was
flat
parks
general
fund
is
actually
a
decrease.
X
At
8.5
million
or
1.2
percent
and
then
public
safety
is
a
component.
X
Of
the
lit
that
comes
in
separately,
we
expect
to.
X
Will
go
to
fund
this
central
dispatch
and
then
the
other
three
million
dollars.
X
X
Some
operating
costs
this
year
summary
of
changes,
the
total
budget.
X
X
Change
was
a
transfer
in
of
thirty
five
thousand
000
and
recover.
X
Forward
funds
that
moved
from
esd
to
information
technology
and
that.
X
Was
for
the
funding
of
the
coding
school
jumping
down?
This
is
an
exhibit.
X
Maintenance
and
the
changes
and
again
108
000
decrease
in
category
one.
X
Total
91
000
increase
in
category
three.
X
Related
to
duke
energy
and
a
total
decrease.
X
In
the
general
fund,
so
you
could
actually
see
by
department
where
those
changes
were
and
again
the
majority
of
them
were.
X
Energy
cost
accounted
for
the
other.
Sixteen
thousand
dollars.
X
Taking
a
look
at
of
how
things
break
down
so.
X
When
we
talk
about
breakdown
of
function,
this
is.
X
10
to
12
of
that,
then,
when
you
take
a
look
at.
X
It
by
category
this
is
the
formal
categories
categories,
one
two
three
and
four.
X
73
of
the
budgeted
costs
are
personnel,
so
it's
people,
services
are
about.
X
When
you
look
at
that
from
the
categories,
one
two
three
and
four
again.
X
X
You
can
see
in
2009
when
we
started
to
get
into.
X
Economic
downturn
that
lag
impact
that
was.
X
Zero
percent
and
again
the
parks
department
down.
X
105
000:
this
is
just
the
historic
cash.
X
Balances
that
we
show
you
that
we've
that
the
council
had
asked
that
we.
X
Number
to
where
we
got
the
reserves
at
the
end
of
19
up
to
50.9
percent.
A
Mr
apollo,
mr
rolo,
I'm
sorry
I
missed
it.
Thank
you,
mr
underwood.
X
If
you
know
businesses
aren't
allowed
to
operate.
X
To
control,
that's
you
know
that
that's
the.
X
Second
largest
revenue
stream
that
we
have
so
I
think
that
that's
potentials
out
there.
X
Followed
by
a
lack
of
investment
in
in
growth
in
the
community.
X
Very
very
strong
outperforming
the
rest
of
the
state
in.
X
Many
cases
where
they
were
going
downhill,
our
property
tax
caps
well
not
insignificant.
X
Tick
back
up,
which
is
always
a
good
sign,
because
that's
kind
of
a
lead
lead
revenue.
So
if
we,
if
we
get
that
second
wave.
Y
But
that
recovery
was
relatively
quick.
X
Starting
to
increase
back
up
staffing
levels,
there
were
significant
cuts.
X
And
and
deputy
mayor
renheisen
he's
got.
X
I
that
was
kind
of
a
period
I
was
gone
but
from
the
chart.
Well,
I
know
from.
X
And,
as
you
can
see
from
the
the
levy
growth,
it
was
2017
so.
X
Relatively
quickly
and
the
lag
has
been,
the
capital
we've
been
able
to
do
a.
X
Spending
by
those
people,
so
you
know,
construction
projects
are
always
nice.
X
Because
they
they,
the
dollars
are
three
or
four
times
what
you
spend.
But
what
we've
you
know:
we've
not.
X
Fully
recovered
from
that,
we
were
getting
close,
that
to
plug
that
hole
in
the
repair
and
maintenance
that
we
should
be.
X
That
we
didn't
get
to
100
yet
so
I'm
hoping
it'll
be.
X
Short-Lived,
but
you
know
we'll
we'll
have
to
be.
X
Strategic
on
that,
and
you
know,
departments
you
know.
Y
I
see
thanks
for
elaborating
on
that.
R
Yes,
I
was
looking
at
the
budget
form
one
for
the
various.
R
In
this
form,
the
the
the
state
I
I
plug
it
in.
X
The
general
fund,
the
state,
does
their
magic,
where
I
think
it's.
X
Oh
okay,
on
the
notice,
the
budget,
it's
on
form
three.
X
They
talk
about
the
estimated
civil
city
max
levy
right
in
the
middle
of
the.
X
745
000,
so
it
gets
hidden
in
this
process.
X
They
have
it
in
the
forms,
form
ones,
and
I
plug
it
in
for.
R
So
where
is
it
it's
in
form
three,
so
that
the
first
one.
R
X
R
Also
kind
of
a
technical,
so
you
mentioned
in
your.
R
Memo
from
yesterday,
that
of
the
changes
in
the
changes
in.
R
Yeah,
actually,
what's
the
increase
the
budget?
The
way
it
was
presented
was.
X
Dollars
for
to
that
was
deficit
spending
so.
X
Went
up
another
two
million
dollars
so
all
in.
X
X
X
Funding
the
street
department
was
a
perfect
example
that
we
had
to
cut
over
a
million
dollars
out
of
that
budget.
X
A
Z
I've
waited
this
long
in
late,
2016
or
early
2017.
Z
I'm
sorry
I
may
mispronounce
that
life
design
and
kirk
fight
with
indiana
university
in
their
report
dated
june
2017.
I
A
X
Lope
guthrie
can
talk
about
some
of
the
other
aspects
of
it.
X
Year
and
ask
for
an
additional
appropriation
that
could
only
use
cash.
That
would
not.
X
X
Before
and
we
would
have
to
show
the
state.
X
Ever
get
that
back
and
that's
into
perpetuity
the
item
of
pay.
If
employees
are
employed,
they
have
to.
X
Be
paid
now
at
what
levels
you
know
we
would
go
back.
I
think.
X
It
would
revert
back
to
last
year's
salary
words
that
you
would
continue
on.
X
The
salaries
that
had
been
approved,
the
the
adoption.
X
Of
another
ordinance
might
change
those,
but.
R
So
the
ordinance
2023
it's
an
ordinance.
It's
not
an.
R
Have
passed
an
amendment
to
it?
So
if
we
passed
an
amendment
theoretically.
R
Out
of
one
department
and
put
it
into
another
department,
would
that
I
mean
it
would
still
be
in
the
general
fund.
R
Would
that
be
at
a
level
of
detail
enough
to.
U
Not
necessarily
the
personnel
decisions
about
who
is.
U
Y
Him
stay
for
the
duration,
this
meeting,
I
I.
Y
Required
to
to
keep
our
officers
in.
AA
Touch
listening
very
very
carefully
to.
AA
Be
I
think
that
is
something
we
all
need
to
think
long
and
hard
about,
but
I
will
want
to
continue
to
work
with.
AA
R
Please
I'm
sorry,
thank
you.
I
I
appreciate
mr
hayes
comments.
R
You
know
it
reminds
me
of
the
budget
hearings.
You
know
two
years.
R
Tell
us
we
need
more
police,
and
I
you
know,
I
think
I
was
sympathetic.
R
Police
officers:
well,
I
think
what
has
changed.
R
And
it's
no
wonder
that
people
throughout
this
country.
R
Especially
people
of
color,
many
of
them
do
not
trust
the
police.
R
Because
I
think
that
sometimes
police-
just
by
being
there
in
uniform
in.
R
Not
always
the
best
people
to
respond
to.
R
R
As
a
body
and
to
the
mayor
for
the
budget
for
2022.
R
So
at
this
point,
I'm
not
quite
sure
how
I'm
gonna
vote.
R
Tonight,
because
I
there
are
some
problems
with
the
budget,
as
I've
mentioned
before.
I
think
the
tdm
position
should
really
be
in
planning
transportation.
G
Admission
that
transportation
is
being
decentralized.
G
Under
the
logic
of
his
silos
argument
and
our
answers
to
budget.
G
It
does
not
seem
to
have
this
year,
it's
been
a
sobering.
A
Everybody
ample
chance
to
do
this
so
I'll.
A
Option
the
decision,
a
vote
by
council
not
to.
A
Adopt
the
budget
that
is
proposed
by
the.
A
And
genuine
collaboration
up
front
to
be
able
to
do
that.
I
also.
A
I
want
them
to
hear.
I
want
the
administration
here
that
I
take
that.
A
Very
seriously,
the
notion
of
not.
A
Talked
about
the
two
largest
discussion
themes
tonight.
A
Formidable
social
services
network
here
in
bloomington-
I
really
do
want
to
applaud
the
mayor's.
AA
A
Three
two:
thank
you
for
that.
Just
a
reminder
for
the
public
too,.
A
What
we've
done
tonight
are
non-binding
votes,
but
they
do
give
an
indication
of
council's
response
to
what's
been.
