C

And most of our issues will most of our conversation will focus on district 2.

C

Issues but certainly anyone is welcome. Thank you. Thank you and I have no report with that.

A

I've concluded council reports, we go now to reports from the mayor and city.

A

Offices I can read the stuff in front of me here.

A

And now we hear from the office of the mayor, mr mayor.

A

Would you like to report? Thank you very much.

G

uh Good to be with you all, thanks for letting me.

G

Have the chance to say hello, I want to do two things.

G

Tonight with you, uh one is update on covid and two is a request on the local.

G

Income tax, um so first it's been a little while.

G

Since we've had an update on covet.

G

Significant actions with indiana university, I'm sure you're, aware they've.

G

Now quarantined about two dozen greek houses, congrat.

G

Congregant living places due to uh dying positive.

G

Diagnoses in those places of a significant percent.

G

Definite increase in the positivity rate with campus and their data being.

G

Included in state data now I will note, as.

G

Some of you may know that the county health department has indicated they.

G

Believe the local county, positivity rate.

G

Is moving around a little unreliably because of the way the state.

G

Enters data, particularly, they enter positive cases.

G

Faster than they enter negative cases in order to get them.

G

Into contact tracing, which means that the numbers are going to be bumpy.

G

uh Our county health department would would basically.

G

Agree and conclude that we have seen a noticeable rise in positivity in in.

G

Campus iu-related community, in particular, driven by some pretty.

G

Substantial numbers in these congregate living.

G

Settings uh the second point they would make. I.

G

Think is that there's not a commensurate or similar.

G

Rise in overall community spread the hospital data.

G

Continue to be quite good in terms of hospitalizations and such, but the data.

G

Are moving it's very important just another example on campus, their.

G

Their on-campus residence hall positivity rate is good. It's quite.

G

Good still about one and a half percent, it appears.

G

Compared to an eight percent or more average in the greek houses, so.

G

There's a lot going on data is important to continue to monitor. We do that.

G

Regularly with the university and health department and others, we have.

G

Concerns about the weekend, the holiday weekends can be.

G

Problematic a reminder, for example, at lake monroe.

G

Under the department of natural resources, they're actually subject to the state rules rather than our county or even city rules,.

G

I'm really pleased that we have taken the steps we have taken locally.

G

Both at the county, health level and the city level.

G

There's a lot to keep monitoring. I want to thank our police department, which has.

G

Worked so hard with iu police department to.

G

Maintain order uh in in some of these gatherings.

G

The very close collaborations continue on the health orders.

G

On the messaging, thank you, council, member piedmont, smith, reminding people.

G

The importance of masking and physical distancing uh social gatherings, of course, have been limited to 15 here in the city.

G

The jury is still out. I would say, on how we're going to do.

G

We we've certainly seen around the country different paths that communities.

G

And universities have taken we're working very hard together to try.

G

To manage this, but we still, I would say the jury's out.

G

I'll give a very quick update on that executive order that limited gathering.

G

Sizes since friday august 21st, when that order.

G

Went into effect, we have received three dozen or more.

G

Complaints we're responding directly to those by.

G

The police we've also received about 23 2 dozen or.

G

So, requests for exemptions from the order.

G

I want to let you know we review each of those each one of those was given an.

G

Approval for the exemption and just for you to.

G

Know they've they are required. The engagement is.

G

Really good, we require them to talk about masking and assure the masking and.

G

Distancing requirements in those events about eight of them have been engagement.

G

Or wedding related about seven of them have been church.

G

Bible study, not not services, those are treated differently, but church related.

G

Events and then eight others, uh the request sizes range from 20 to 75, with an average of 31.

G

And we've been pleased to have people engaging with us to ask for exemptions.

G

And go through their protocols I'll take questions on that. If you like.

G

At the end, I'll move to my second point and try very briefly as well to talk about the local income tax. Since.

G

Mid-July, I talked about recover forward in three stages, which included.

G

uh One that I also outlined in a newspaper column this week about a local.

G

Income tax request: there will be more details.

G

Coming to the council in the next couple days, but I am here tonight to request that city council.

G

Consider a resolution to go to the lit council, local income tax council, but.

G

Adopt a resolution as a city council to adopt.

G

A 0.25 percent increase for economic development purposes in the.

G

Local income tax- I'm asking you tonight to consider that.

G

In the next two weeks to allow for the full calendar of review.

G

By other jurisdictions, as set by state law,.

G

And I'll just mention four quick points tonight. One.

G

In the face of the coveted restrictions and the recession that we're in and.

G

Racial and climate challenges, our government needs revenues.

G

To meet our community's needs, we needed to help our underemployed and.

G

Unemployed people get back to work to help achieve a lower carbon future.

G

With more energy, efficient buildings and better.

G

Transit bike and pedestrian options we needed to help.

G

Local farmers and local artists to thrive.

G

And to help strengthen our social safety net.

G

And support more affordable housing. Indeed, we need.

G

Revenues just to assure that we maintain basic services like public.

G

Safety and infrastructure, sanitation and upkeep and maintenance.

G

In the coming years, point number two: we have capacity in our local income tax.

G

Regime as we are among the lowest tax income tax counties in our region, we are.

G

Seventh, out of the seven contiguous counties, the lowest income tax.

G

In our contiguous counties, we are 19th out of the 21 regional counties in terms.

G

Of our local income tax, and even after this.

G

Proposed increase, we will still be very low, relatively among our neighbors, and we will also be maintaining plenty.

G

Of headroom for future councils or others in years.

G

Ahead, who may need to pursue other revenue if needed,.

G

There's plenty of headroom to do that, so we're keeping a very prudent and.

G

Modest level, third point: the timing is important. Now.

G

It's not clear whether bloomington will have the capacity.

G

To enact such revenue after this fall, perhaps we may and if the state.

G

Legislature would offer additional options, such as passing a.

G

City only income tax- that would be certainly.

G

Welcome and something to consider that we could.

G

Transition into, but there's a real risk that we cannot raise revenue.

G

In the future, after this fall, so it is very important to determine our own.

G

Future now the state procedures for the local.

G

Income tax require, acting by september, 16th.

G

To meet the statutory deadlines in the state law.

G

And to provide time for the other county, fiscal.

G

Bodies to conduct their votes so fourth point and in closing I just.

G

Want to urge the council to convene a special session next week.

G

To consider this proposal this resolution and to vote.

G

On the resolution by september 16th to proceed with this very important point.

G

Choice for our community's future. Thank you.

A

Thank you, mr mayor. um I will open up to questions uh from.

A

Councilmembers in just a second, but I will say that.

A

um You know the administration has always always has the prerogative to.

A

Bring resolutions to the council a resolution.

A

Only requires one meeting uh so they uh could have brought this.

A

Resolution on the 16th, uh you know without any special.

A

Dispensation because I believe that the council was.

A

Going to want to discuss it um at length, uh I.

A

uh You know concur that a special session.

A

Is uh worth calling on the ninth, and so I'm certainly prepared to do it.

A

uh Barring any objection from my colleagues.

A

um But uh so with that said, I'd like to.

A

Open up the florida questions from members for the mayor on.

A

Either the coveted response or his request for a special session.

A

Are there any questions from members.

A

Seeing none, oh sarah councilmember scan blurry go ahead.

C

Yes, um thank you just a quick question. Mr mayor, um you mentioned that there.

C

Were about 35 complaints about mask use.

C

Going back to the your covid comment were those for events.

C

Were they for local establishments, both uh those were primarily uh complaints.

G

About uh gatherings that we've that we've.

G

Gotten that the iu police and the bloomington police are kind of.

G

Divvying up and responding to I I I will say um I'm pleased that we're.

G

I think, with collaboration with iu, we're seeing.

G

uh Good work on those, but again the jury's out and it's it really is gonna.

G

Depend on how people behave over the next week or two or three how we get through this as a campus and as a community.

C

Great. Thank you. Thank you. Further questions from members for the mayor.

A

Seeing none will uh take up the question of.

A

A new me, I'm sorry, oh councilman, barello yeah.

H

It's not a question, but I just we're concerning the lit.

H

I did just want to comment and say that I think it's a prudent.

H

Proposal and I wanted to thank the administration for for.

H

Coming forward with it, because, clearly, anticipating our commitments.

H

In the future, um it's really important that we consider this now and I look.

H

Forward to discussing it.

A

Thank you any further comments or questions from members.

A

For the mayor and again uh we'll be taking up the question of the special.

A

Session at the end of the meeting during our.

A

uh For questions of council schedule, mr mayor, thank you. Thank you very much and thanks uh lauren travis for being here.

G

To do the good stuff with you to share some important information. Thank you.

G

Very much and with that uh we welcome lauren.

A

Travis to present uh her report on uh the climate.

A

Climate vulnerability assessment of the city, ms travis, hello, please go ahead.

I

Thank you. Let me pull it up really quickly.

I

Okay, thank you for having me today. As the mayor mentioned, my name is lauren.

I

Travis I serve as the assistant director of sustainability.

I

Here today to report to council in regards to our climate vulnerability.

I

Assessment, the full technical report is on the.

I

Website and was sent as part of the council packet. I will be.

I

Providing an overview if you're interested in greater greater detail, I recommend checking out the full report.

I

First, I just wanted to begin with the purpose of conducting a vulnerability.

I

Assessment, what it is why we conducted one, so it is.

I

In essence, a technical assessment of exactly how.

I

Bloomington's changing climate will affect its people, buildings.

I

And infrastructure over the next decades- and this is really crucial because.

I

Impacts and risk levels to people, buildings and infrastructure.

I

Will be disproportionate, so some areas of bloomington.

I

Some groups of people in bloomington are inherently more vulnerable.

I

And may be more adversely affected by coming impacts.

I

And the third point is that anticipating these impacts are critical for long-term.

I

Planning promoting equity and current and future.

I

Municipal funding and policy decisions.

I

And then I just wanted to overview what kind of.

I

Change are we projected to experience if we look back.

I

Even in the last 30 years, there's been a 25.

I

Increase in heavy precipitation events and.

I

Annual precipitation year over year has increased.

I

15, since it was first being measured so with the increase in annual.

I

Average temperature of about two degrees, fahrenheit.

I

um If current trends accelerate as they're anticipated to.

I

Summertime conditions in bloomington in 30 years are projected to be more.

I

Similar to conditions currently experienced about 330 miles further.

I

South and in broad terms, those trends are.

I

Warmer average annual temperatures, cooler.

I

Sorry, less cool winter months increase in extreme heat days.

I

And heavy rainfall events as well as increase time.

I

Between precipitation events, so more variability.

I

In both temperature and precipitation and then what hazards will we experience.

I

With greater frequency- and these are events with sufficient intensity.

I

To potentially cause loss of life, injuries.

I

Significant property damages and disruption to commerce.

I

So in the short term, based on the assessment in this report,.

I

We can expect to continue to have increased storms.

I

Floods and extreme precipitation, and so in the right you can see the table.

I

The underlying hazard types are the ones that will be experienced.

I

In the short and medium term, in the short term, again, floods and.

I

Storms being of particular concern.

I

And then I just copied some headlines from the ht.

I

Because I wanted to note that while climate change may seem like something.

I

That is of concern really far into the future.

I

It's not only the environment that will be of um concern here. We are having threats to health.

I

Infrastructure, ecosystems and social systems.

I

And it's sort of these threats multiplies so the challenges we're.

I

Having now that are public health related with increasing weather concerns, it just exacerbates and cause causes challenges.

I

For the community.

I

And to the point of how this is going to affect people, which is obviously a huge.

I

Concern extreme heat is really something that.

I

Also is a huge risk to people by causing heat.

I

Stress that can cause people to go to the emergency room, but then also experience energy costs, which is a challenge.

I

Financially, and can sometimes cause people that are lower income to not be.

I

Able to afford cooling, um which is another health concern.

I

Flooding obviously, causes property to property.

I

Damage and health impacts if your property.

I

Floods, you can also have mold and subsequent public health.

I

Impacts air quality impacts will impact people.

I

That are susceptible to asthma and then another big one is nutrition.

I

And security, so as weather becomes more variable, there's.

I

Crop impacts and therefore food price volatility. So again, if you're.

I

Financially challenged, this presents another concern.

I

And, like I mentioned at the beginning, not all types of community members.

I

May experience climate impacts the same and.

I

On the left, there's a chart that sort of shows.

I

What are we most sensitive to as a community, and some of them.

I

I've mentioned, but also mentioning power failure, energy costs.

I

These are not things that you might think of immediately in terms of climate.

I

Change but if you look at types of people in our.

I

Community that may be less able to.

I

Rebound quickly as they're experiencing some of these weather challenges.

I

And vulnerable children, older adults, individuals with disabilities- let's say.

I

Someone's on a ventilator and there's a power failure that person.

I

Is going to experience a power failure differently than someone that.

I

Is not experiencing that health challenge, people that are economically.

I

Stressed are going to be challenged with a lot of these different types of challenges and so extreme weather flooding.

I

You have less financial capacity to respond and then due to.

I

You know historical discrepancies and also just inequities. People of color can.

I

Sometimes be more susceptible to some of these risks.

I

So, to bring this more tangibly into what areas of bloomington.

I

Are most vulnerable, so some of these um impacts that we mentioned before they're.

I

Not going to have the same geospatial distribution, and so while this map is.

I

Shown by census, chalk, I also then included the council.

I

District just to make it a little bit easier to see um for those watching, but in particular um council district 3, based on this.

I

Assessment and there would be the highest proportion of community members as a percentage of the people that live.

I

In that tract, that would be vulnerable to climate impacts. um Council.

I

District one again another about four 4.

I

225 members considered to be vulnerable and district 5.. So, while not everyone in.

I

That census tract is vulnerable to these effects. People.

I

Within those census tracts have attributes that would.

I

Make them more vulnerable to these types of storms or climate impacts.

I

Also, our buildings and infrastructure will be affected, which is also important.

I

For municipal planning, because as these things occur, they may.

I

Be costly and affect the city budget as well. I.

I

Thought I would mention a couple of these, so transportation and roads.

I

With increased variability and temperature, there will be freeze thaw.

I

Damage which can cause impacts like potholes, so when we talk to.

I

The street department, as that happens, and you have to make an.

I

Emergency response to it that can have a financial impact as well.

I

Land use planning utilities has done a great job, investing proactively in green.

I

Infrastructure, but that storm water management and flood surface.

I

Flooding is quite costly and then also as the.

I

Temperature increases expecting more power, outages and cost.

I

Increases as well as increase electricity demand as people respond to the temperature being hotter outside.

I

We can also expect some tree lofts, not all of our public or private trees are.

I

Suitable to an increase in temperature, so there.

I

Will be some tree mortality as well.

I

So I think, when we anticipate these things happening, we can also look to.

I

What ways we can invest and become more resilient.

I

And some of those are things that we're already doing so we are working on increasing our tree canopy already we have a higher than.

I

Average percentage of tree canopy compared to.

I

Other communities, but also the tree study that was.

I

Completed by parks last fall showed that if we were to plant in.

I

Priority planning sites we could work towards a maximum attainable canopy of 61 percent of our surface area, so that would be.

I

Helpful, for many reasons, one we would reduce flooding impacts, it has shade benefits and we could focus on those areas that are.

I

Currently, underserved from trees, one other approach would be.

I

To reduce impervious surface so about 33 of our.

I

Land acreage right now is pavement that helps.

I

Decrease heat island effects, especially in areas that are.

I

Low income, replacing that concrete, with green infrastructure, more trees, more.

I

Plants and that will help impact or mitigate.

I

Some of these impacts from happening or the severity to which they're happening and then, on the other side, community resilience. These are some.

I

Concerns that are noted widely in a lot of conversations.

I

But reducing housing burden um as residents are cost.

I

Burdened then, they have less capacity to respond financially and also working on reducing exposure to health risks. So.

I

um Reducing exposure to particulate pollution from.

I

Vehicles and traffic associated air pollution.

I

So this was a pretty high level summary of the report. I'm.

I

I wanted to know if you had any questions for me. I can return to any of.

I

The slides, but also feel free to reach out, as you.

I

Review it and I'm happy to continue a conversation.

I

On this, we are working on um further climate planning.

I

To ensure that we have more specific and detailed plans to address these concerns.

I

Moving into the future, thank you, ms travis. Thanks for the.

A

Report, I very much appreciated uh if you could unshare a screen. Thank.

A

You are there, questions from his travis from council members.

A

Council, member piedmont, smith and then councilmember flaherty.

D

Yes, um thank you so much for this report. I was wondering what.

D

uh Level of collaboration there is with the county.

D

uh Since, of course, we have enter inter uh vulnerabilities.

D

Yeah, so I've been working as well with the county.

I

Environmental commission and some of the counselors still look at a.

I

Common concern, so the environmental resilience institute at iu.

I

Has been working on some joint planning resources.

I

We have common, you know: emergency management resources. We have common.

I

Decisions that are made in a lot of instances, so any information that we're.

I

Collecting, I'm also being sure to share with the county we're relevant.

I

And looking to continue that collaboration moving forward, I think especially, we've looked at this instance of challenges in.

I

Public health, you know we're not and island and we're going to be.

I

Experiencing a lot of these things at the same time, in the same way, so I think.

I

As we move forward um anything that we're doing, that will be of use to them.

I

I intend to continue to share. Do they have.

D

Their own assessment, or do they have one planned or are they going to piggyback what you've done they're getting some.

I

Support from iu as well, so I use offering them some.

I

Resources to complete um assessment areas that aren't in.

I

Common with the city, so we're sharing some work. That's been.

I

Completed by our department and then they'll complete the areas that need to be completed with separate information.

D

Thank you. Thank you concert for flaherty. Yes, thank you for the report. Miss travis.

J

um Could you give us an update on when we.

J

Expect the climate action plan that's being worked on uh to be completed and, and also uh speak a little bit to the balance of.

J

Climate change mitigation versus adaptation measures within that.

J

um Within that plan, I I think I remember it being.

J

Focused on both and adaptation, of course, being a little more relevant to.

J

This vulnerability assessment yeah, so there was um a pause and some engagement.

I

Around the climate action plan between march and june, we're hoping to get it.

I

Completed by the end of the year and in front of council, it's basically.

I

In draft form, but we would like to get more input from key stakeholders as well and feedback about some of the.

I

Recommendations in terms of the balance between.

I

Mitigation and adaptation, I think the important thing is that, regardless of.

I

Whether we reduce our emissions to zero, we still as a community need to respond.

I

To some of these you know heat and flooding challenges, so I think that that's reflected also in you know, parks and utilities, budgets.

I

To proactively make sure that we're planting trees that.

I

We're looking at stormwater management, um so the recommendations will be.

I

Balanced across both when I came to present the greenhouse.

I

Gas assessment: we know that a lot of our emissions are related to.

I

Buildings- and that was reflected in some of the recover forward funding for.

I

Energy conservation, so we're looking at buildings in the community as a whole.

I

And how the city might support helping efficiency and then, hopefully,.

I

Subsequently, um energy diversification, so we can.

I

Reduce emissions related to that and then obviously ongoing investments.

I

In transportation infrastructure, aside from.

I

Only vehicular infrastructure will also help.

I

Lower that overall emissions profile, so I would say that.

I

We're looking at it as a balance between both, because we know that that will be.

I

Part of our long-term need sure thank you.

A

uh Council member smith, followed by consumer sims.

F

Thank you, ms travis. uh The question I have is.

F

We're at if we're about at 38 of uh tree canopies want to get to 61.

F

Can you what does that mean to us? Does that mean.

F

X, number of trees must be planted, is I'll I'll. Let you go yes.

I

So and I'll defer also to our urban forest who's working on this.

I

Every day it's um we're working on both public tree investment and then.

I

We'll also have to look at incentivizing private tree planting as well, so there's.

I

Some neighborhoods across the city that have very few trees, relatively and.

I

Then other ones are closer to their maximum capacity, so within.

I

The urban forestry assessment that was completed last year, there was a.

I

Prioritization and goal per neighborhood, so it was, you know we might be closer to.

I

Reaching the canopy goal in a given neighborhood that has a lot of mature.

I

Trees and then there might be other places that maybe were frequently redeveloped that don't have.

I

That many trees at all and so focusing the attention on the areas that.

I

Need more will help us meet the overall increase, but.

I

There's going to be some areas that um downtown where you have a lot of.

I

Buildings, so it might not be as realistic but anywhere there's a unused. You know surface parking lot.

I

Re-Imagining that as a place that could have more green infrastructure if it's.

I

Appropriate will help that overall goal yeah. I think.

F

The green space in the trees will certainly.

F

Help mitigate the climate vulnerability, we have.

F

Is there some number of trees that that does that mean to me well.

I

Right now, yeah right now we have 19 000 public.

I

Trees, I think, in the next year we're planning on.

I

Planting around 800, but you would have to check with the.

I

Parks department about that- um and we don't have a overall.

I

Goal but I mean we're looking at replacing.

I

Trees that are no longer powerful, um especially in tree plots and then also.

I

Planting new ones, um which are the perfect example.

I

Is quite a few were planted there um in the last? You know few months.

F

Thank you very nice report. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Cats over sims thank.

E

You thank you, miss travis for the report. I really appreciate it. uh My question has to do in the category.

E

In your report um that says people of color and limited.

E

English populations- um and that was fairly well explained.

E

In particularly some of the um higher likelihoods.

E

Of risk experiences with people of color.

E

But with limited english populations, so it says, though, not specifically a person.

E

Of color category individuals with limited english.

E

Frequently overlap with populations of color.

E

um And you gave a list of those populations- chinese, japanese, korean and.

E

Spanish, but what caught my attention was 10.1.

E

Percent of that population, german and 8.18.

E

French and I guess my question would be.

E

Of those populations, german and french, are they of minority descent.

E

And I also would like for you if you can just explain further a little bit your.

E

Rationale for adding the english limited english.

E

Speaking populations to the people of color category.

I

Sure so I think uh the vulnerability in that.

I

Sense would be that a lot of emergency management announcements.

I

Or you know if there was a particular instance of required evacuation.

I

If a lot of that information is provided solely in english and not in your first.

I

Language, then you could be more vulnerable because you don't have information, that's as accessible to you.

I

About how to respond to that risk? So if we had a flood.

I

Flood evacuation or another instance where.

I

um It was not that information wasn't very.

I

Accessible to you, then, you would be at high risk of experiencing that.

I

um Again that doesn't apply to every single person in that category. It can be.

I

A little bit difficult when you're looking at census, information.

I

To a certain, what proportion of those people.

I

um So it could easily be an overestimate. I think that that's something that we.

I

Can investigate further one thing that was important in this report, though, was.

I

Kind of trying to differentiate what types of risks might be more.

I

Prevalent to certain types of people, and so I think that.

I

Given that sort of uh geographic disparity.

I

Working with social service providers and other.

I

People that are working directly with those populations to try to get a better.

I

Estimate of okay among the people that you're.

I

Working with are they able to access, you know, city and county.

I

Information about emergency management in a way that's accessible to them, that's something that we can work on as.

I

A joint government to make sure that the way that we are explaining or.

I

Communicating with the public about emergencies.

I

Is um able to be responded to by everyone in the population not just.

I

People that english is their primary language, okay,.

E

Thank you. um I was wondering if, in the future and.

E

I know from a data gathering standpoint: it's.

E

Probably more efficient to do that, but when I read that section.

E

If it's not specifically separated, it gives the impression that people of.

E

Color in particularly, and I know that may apply to some of our.

E

Chinese or japanese or korean speaking populations or spanish for for that.

E

Matter but when we're talking about.

E

African-Americans or black people it kind of lumps them together, as if.

E

There's some sort of problem with accessing public.

E

Information or hearing public notices- and I know.

E

That's not your intent, um but if I I hope that's not your. I.

E

Know it's not, um but if we're looking at that, you can.

E

See how that kind of confuses that category.

I

No, that's that's very fair and I think that.

I

I I will revisit that and and look at whether, especially with sentence.

I

Information, whether that's obscuring that you know.

I

Helpfulness of that section, okay, thank you and, and again thank you for the.

E

Report very very helpful. Thank you. Thank you. Further questions.

A

Kind of burrello. Thank you. Thank you. Lauren for the.

H

Report uh it looks to be really informative. I.

H

Just had a couple of questions and a comment: one was.

H

Relevant to local growers, um it looks like in some ways, climate.

H

Change is going to be an advantage and that it increases.

H

Growing season by 10 days, but the precipitation is going to be.

H

Much more sporadic and it's going to be times of drought.

H

And in times of heavy precipitation, which is.

H

You know damaging in two very important respects.

H

And um will this consideration be part of.

H

Ideas of mitigating those things for local farmers, so that we can so that.

H

Local farmers can grow, uh prepare to grow with those sorts of.

H

Changes in mind, um that was, that was one question.

I

Yeah, I think that um the big key is even if the growing season.

I

Is longer there's less predictability, so in the past.

I

You know growers could say I can anticipate my yield, will be this amount and of this quality. I think um that predictability.

I

Is definitely challenged and that will increase over future years and so.

I

The ways in which we can support local farmers, who are usually working on a.

I

Very small profit margin and it's a very challenging enterprise.

I

Will be important and I think that's something to consider as we look at.

I

Local food support, local agricultural support in the future is that whatever challenges they're facing now, this.

I

Will just be an additional one, moving forward.

H

Yeah, I'm very interested in that topic because I think there are ways in which.

H

We could we could plan for it um by the way.

H

There's there seems to be an incongruity between the drought.

H

Statistics that you might want to check out- and that was uh according to a report on page 19 there's uh it projected to be.

H

A 105 increase in the index of severity of.

H

Drought and then on page 39, it says a 200 percent increase okay, so there seems to be some.

H

Difference in scale, so my other question was.

H

I think that it's really a great idea to increase tree canopy.

H

So don't get me wrong uh because I don't want to be critical.

H

To that goal, so a 60 plus percent increase in tree canopy cover is a.

H

Really good thing for various reasons: heat island.

K

Carbon capture, but I think that in an age of a biodiversity crisis, we should.

H

Also think about other ways: we should we can capture.

H

Carbon, that is prairie ecosystems that would increase.

H

Biodiversity that aren't reflected in forest ecosystems.

H

And I wonder if that consideration was part of you know.

H

Staffs, you know general consideration. You know that the importance of.

H

Biodiversity in the city and county is as well um in.

H

Ways in which we can mitigate climate but increase biodiversity, and I think parks has done a really great job in doing.

I

That we've been planning a lot of native vegetation.

I

I think also there's an importance in education, so I.

I

Was speaking um to a park staff member today, that was.

I

Talking about switching some of the education they've done in person to virtual about things like switching your lawn.

I

Into a prairie ecosystem, so I think there might be different strategies for.

I

Public and private land, but fortunately a lot of people in.

I

Bloomington are very eco-conscious very mindful of these.

I

Things and some of them aren't that difficult, so, like you mentioned, a prairie landscape might be easier to maintain than trying to create a wetland in your yard. So I think that there could be a role in.

I

Increasing, maybe some working with other non-profits to increase technical.

I

Assistance, for you know, long-term maintenance of different types of land use, um but in terms of what we're doing with.

I

Parks to the degree possible we're doing things like.

I

Restoring you know stream corridors at griffey.

I

Or helping restore some of the natural habitat that we already have and trying.

I

To um create green space wherever possible,.

I

As well, okay, thank you for, for that.

A

Thank you further questions from members first round questions.

A

Counselors can blurry thank you and thank you for the report.

C

um Miss traverse, can you comment? Can you share where the public can find this.

C

Report uh I'm putting it somewhere on the website and then I'd also be interested in hearing about any particular distribution plans. You have for this report.

C

Or how some of our boards and commissions are going to be interacting.

C

With it, so if you could kind of fill in some of that information, for me, that'd be great, so it is currently posted on the.

I

Sustainability page, so anyone can access it now from there. It.

I

Was also in the council pocket, so it should be on the council site as.

I

Well, in terms of distribution um in the last month, I did a live stream.

I

Facebook brief version of this presentation to.

I

Bcos and then I think it was last week to environmental commission so both of.

I

Those were streamed on the um esd and then also planning a.

I

Transportation page, um I think that if there's.

I

Opportunities for further engagement with us in particular, I think that.

I

um Especially as it relates to further planning efforts, whether it's a.

I

Stormwater master plan or parks master plan making sure that we're integrating the data collected here to.

I

Reflect priorities in future planning as well. um This was kind of the first phase.

I

I'm planning to come back to council with our climate action plan. I wanted to separate them, so it gave the opportunity.

I

For reviewing both what our climate risks and hazards would be,.

I

And some possible approaches to those particular concerns.

C

Great. Thank you.

A

Further questions for ms travis councilman rosenberger.

L

Thank you. Thank you. Miss travis um a little bit about priority, a.

L

Air quality impacts gold's responding to that.

L

um Reduce auto generated particulate matter.

L

Tailpipe pollutants, I know cars, add a lot of greenhouse gas emissions.

L

Right, it's like 27 of our total. Do you is, do we have any.

L

More specifics on that I mean I think, right now. Sorry, I don't know the.

L

Specifics but um what do we say like in a few years, maybe.

L

We want to decrease our our car use by two percent.

L

Or something from like, I don't know the exact numbers right 67 to 65, I'm kind of.

L

Rambling, but um do we know what we might do there.

L

To move that along a little quicker or prioritize it I mean if it's.

L

One of these priority goals too yeah, so right now we have a error monitoring.

I

Site at templeton, I think so that's where we can get the most accurate data about what ozone and particular amount of readings.

I

Are at a given point in time, however, we know that anywhere. There's.

I

Greater you know car traffic we're going to buy.

I

Proxy also have higher air pollution, so, while that we don't have as exact measurements about that, you can look.

I

At um people that live near the I-69 corridor.

I

Or live near a road that's heavily trafficked are.

I

Exposed to a greater extent to air pollution.

I

In terms of plans to do something about that, it depends by.

I

Vehicle class, so you know as bloomington transit is moving away.

I

From fuel-based buses and towards more of an electric or hybrid model,.

I

You're going to have fewer tail pipe emissions related to that.

I

Similarly, if we reduce the number of car trips vehicle miles, traveled.

I

That also, then reduces air pollution. That's important because.

I

The impacts of air pollution are mostly local.

I

And so, therefore, the health impacts are as well, fortunately,.

I

um You know bloomington is not going to experience that as.

I

The same way that a larger city would, but it's still important.

I

That um you know it's disproportionate, based on what neighborhood you're living.

I

In you're going to have worsened air quality impacts, thank you so follow up. Isn't that okay.

L

Yeah, yes, thank you. Thank you too. um I want to scroll back to the vulnerable.

L

Populations, but that just reminded me, it is one of the populations like folks who.

L

Live on corridors or on bigger roads or closer to highways,.

L

Because of the extra vehicular traffic there I mean.

L

Yeah, they think they know right they're more at risk for, like greater health.

L

Problems yeah, I think, in within the report. There was a section that was.

I

Labeled at-risk workers- that's also people that are working outdoors um primarily and so that it's looking at.

I

You know if you have work that requires you to be.

I

Outdoors as a guitar, you will also then uh suffer heat.

I

Impacts, I'm not sure if um you know proximity to vehicular.

I

Quarters was, you know, parceled out as a component of that, but I can check for.

I

You, okay, that'd, be great. Thank you.

A

Thank you any further questions from members for ms travis.

A

You got the full uh full litany there. Thank you for the.

A

uh The report much obliged so we look forward to.

A

Seeing it circulated to uh everyone as a matter of great importance.

I

Okay, thank you. Thank you. We now move to the next item on our agenda.

A

I can pull it up here.

A

We are going to counsel committees. Are there any reports from council.

A

Committees see none, we go to the public we'll we have set aside 20 minutes for.

A

Public comment on items that are not on tonight's agenda.

A

If you would like to speak, please use the raise hand function in zoom.

A

Or type into the chat, where you will be recognized by.

A

The meeting host mr lucas, mr lucas, do we have any any takers for public comment.

A

M

Yes, I believe. First up, we have uh randy paul.

M

Who should be ready to comment? Okay, you'll have five minutes. Okay can.

N

You hear me all right. Yes, please go ahead. I just want to take.

N

A minute and uh comment on the election board meeting.

N

That was held yesterday. um You know I've been before the council.

N

On before, virtually every government body talking about accessibility and while it started in april, uh where.

N

It seemed like we were not gonna, be compliant at all in terms.

N

Of voting sites um their meeting last yesterday.

N

Showed me that, within that short period of time from april to august,.

N

They accomplished a great deal and what I saw from the election board was not.

N

Only technically trying to get sites.

N

Accessible, but they really did understand how important it was for.

N

People uh I've not this may sound.

N

Not great, but I've not seen this much accomplished.

N

From april to august, in the last 10 years, within that short period of time,.

N

There was just a complete turnaround and I want to thank them for their.

N

Efforts in terms of what they've done you know, I'm reminded of the statement.

N

You know, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

N

It's not perfect, you know, are we totally have a compliant.

N

No, but during a pandemic and dealing with what they are looking at, what they.

N

Had to deal with, and particularly what meant the most to me, is the efforts.

N

They put into it, I think they did just an outstanding job.

N

For the time that we're in, hopefully, we can improve on that in the.

N

Future, I would encourage anybody who.

N

Has a disability to apply to vote absentee and do that early.

N

Two of the criteria to vote absentee is one age 65 or over.

N

The other one is just a disability and for election law, disability is not.

N

Defined so if the person feels like they are have a disability to prevent them from voting or they feel at risk. Because of.

N

The chronic virus they can apply by, I get an absentee vote.

N

And I would encourage encourage them to do that, but I wanted to make sure that the election board got the credit that they're due and that's all for tonight. Thanks thank.

A

You further members of the public who wish to speak. Mr lucas. Yes, next up, we have greg alexander.

A

You'll have five minutes, sir. Please go ahead.

O

Hi thanks, I'm greg alexander. um I just wanted to draw your attention uh about.

O

Two weeks ago, at the preliminary budget hearing, um the director of public works said that um that they were.

O

Pairing uh 1 100 linear feet of sidewalk between 14th and 17th street on north.

O

Madison street and you know that that really interests.

O

Me because I live there, um so I went to kleindorfers and I.

O

Bought one of those infinite measuring tapes, it's a it's a wheel and it's got a counter on it, so it never runs out.

O

It's pretty clever, I'm really excited about it. I went up and down my street.

O

um Between 14th and 17th and on the west side, there's.

O

uh They just finished about um about a week ago. They just finished.

O

um There's about 115 feet of new sidewalk on the west side of the street.

O

And on the east side of the street, there's 103 feet of new sidewalk.

O

And that's across four segments overall, so they're really short little segments.

O

That have been replaced, so the total new sidewalk is 218 feet.

O

And you know I you can make so much out of the.

O

The the accuracy of a statement or just the fact that 218 feet of new.

O

Sidewalk, you know we really could use 1100 new feet of sidewalk. um I went back.

O

And watched that again to make sure that was really what he said and that's really what he said, and I I just I don't.

O

I don't know how to make progress against something like that, but gosh.

O

Darn we could use a little bit of sidewalk maintenance, even though we just had um four tiny segments replaced.

O

I want to talk about something a little actually probably more important right now is uh this local income tax issue.

O

We I want to urge you for two different reasons:.

O

To really focus um and make clear that you're focusing the.

O

The new income tax on transportation, specifically on the bus system and gosh.

O

Darn, wouldn't be nice if it was a little bit for sidewalks too, because transportation is, is a key uncontroversial function of government.

O

You know if you look at how we fund car projects like car emergencies,.

O

We pull out all the stops. That's the highest priority in city government is.

O

Transportation we do that before we do any like kind of social funding or.

O

Anything that the number one priority for the local budget- you know if.

O

Like third and lincoln, if the what they call it, the big dig.

O

Is caving in that's fixed right there, no matter how much.

O

We have to spend out of the general fund and emergency funds with and.

O

Sidewalks deserve that kind of treatment too. The bus deserves that kind of.

O

Treatment, the bus should be a funding priority, um and so we we shouldn't put that behind.

O

Something else you know we, we shouldn't put that behind.

O

You know a kind of a vague recovery plan and the second reason you guys should really be explicit about it. Being for transportation. Is that.

O

We have, we have an optics problem. um The mayor has has a real, distinct.

O

Tendency, you know he comes from a background of public private finance, of using tax breaks to make.

O

Money for private corporations um and to to then greenwash it or make it look.

O

Like a social good, but fundamentally it's about making money and if you see.

O

This again and again, you know the county, commissioner or the county council, which I believe is going to get some sort of.

O

Indirect vote on the on the tax committee. They.

O

They, the the convention center, has just really.

O

Given people a bad feeling, you know, but you look even at like the solarize.

O

Initiative that wound up he selected an out of town.

O

Contractor that did a poor job uh in a lot of instances, and you look at.

O

At like at pay to play developing where he had staff coming and lying to you and saying there are sidewalks where there aren't and that's why we should allow this building here. You know that really.

O

Mattered to me, and it it looks bad. The mayor has done this again and again he likes to have a closed-door meeting with a couple guys in suits and then come to you guys and and tell you.

O

What's gonna happen and if, if it looks like.

O

The local income tax is just a slush fund for whatever.

O

Kind of feel good project, the mayor and whatever price 30 seconds.

F

To get involved in 30 30 seconds thanks, then it's gonna be really.

O

A problem getting that getting community support or getting support from from.

O

County officials- and I just urge you to make it really clear what you want to spend the money on and please spend the money on on bike. Pedestrian bus, especially bus transport,.

O

Thank you for your time. Thank you. Further public comment.

M

Yes, next up, we have uh jana arthur should be ready to go. Please go ahead.

P

Hi guys, um I just wanted to say a few things. One thing.

P

Is that I'm really hoping that both the city and the county councils, as well as.

P

Law enforcement, emt and dispatch will sign on as quickly as possible to.

P

The black lives matter anti-racist training. It's very appointment, important right now, especially given chief decoff speech.

P

Where he had first said that, there's not a racist thought in the police department, I'm very happy.

P

That he did address that institutionally all police.

P

Departments are units that keep poor people and.

P

People of color down and I think that's a good step in the right direction.

P

I just think that the local blm anti-racist training is very necessary. I.

P

Would also urge councils and any sort of lawmakers.

P

Or political figures to declare racism a public health crisis.

P

Especially given the rally that was here on the 22nd.

P

The back the blue rally where two black men ended up in the emergency room.

P

Because they were attacked by people, so racism is.

P

Definitely a public health crisis and there are members of the community.

P

That are working to develop all sorts of community response teams.

P

And I would like to urge you guys to take some of the 30 million dollars approximately away from the police.

P

Departments and reinvest it in the community because.

P

The root of crime is poverty and they're. It's just getting worse with.

P

Covid and I think that we need to invest some of this money in building strong.

P

Communities because the police are not needed in strong communities, I yield my.

P

Time, thank you. Thank you.

A

Further public comment, mr lucas: is there anybody else who has.

A

Typed into the chat or raised their hand.

M

No, I don't see any further requests. Okay, that will be it for public comment.

A

For the first round, we'll go now to appointments to boards and commissions.

A

Do we have any from members.

A

Seeing then we'll go to legislation for first reading.

D

Yes, mr president, I move that ordinance 2015.

D

Be introduced and read by title and synopsis only by the clerk.

E

Second, the motion in a second will, the clerk. Please call the role on.

A

The motion to introduce and read uh ordinance 2015.

B

Yes, councilmember rosenberger, yes, sims.

B

Yes, roland, yes, piedmont, smith; yes, clarity!.

N

Yes, smith, yes, sam bird, yes,.

B

Rollo yes and scandalory. Yes, thank you. The eyes have it. uh Thank.

A

You will the clerk, please read by title and synopsis.

B

Yes, ordinance 2015 to rezone a 19.73 acre property from employment.

B

B

Ordinance 2015 rezones, 19.73 acres from employment to residential estate.

A

That's it yeah, that's it! Okay, thank you um and uh I have.

A

uh uh Referred this legislation to the land use committee.

A

Which shall uh uh take it up starting uh next week on the ninth.

A

um We go now to is there any other legislation problem for first reading.

A

Okay, seeing none would go now to additional public comment.

A

If there's anyone who's not yet spoken on an item that is not on tonight's.

A

Agenda we set aside 25 minutes for a comment.

A

If you would like to speak, please raise your hand on zoom or.

A

Type into the chat, so mr lucas can see that you're interested in speaking.

A

First call second call, mr lucas: is there any anyone who is.

A

Asking to speak, not that I see. Thank you we'll go now to matters of.

A

Counsel schedule um mr lucas.

A

Can you give us a rundown sure, a few reminders and then a few items.

M

That the council may want to uh to act on.

M

uh Tomorrow evening, at 6 p.m, on zoom the jack hopkins social services.

M

Funding committee will meet for the first time to discuss a.

M

Second round of funding to be distributed, hopefully before the end of.

M

The year that meeting is available via zoom.

M

The link is available on the council website for any members of the public.

M

Who want to attend? That is a public meeting.

M

um The committee will be discussing the process.

M

uh That it will use to uh to consider uh funding requests for that that newly.

M

Granted funding source so this friday there is a.

M

Council work session scheduled uh the only item that.

M

The council uh would hear about at that work session.

M

Maybe the mayor's uh local income tax proposal.

M

um I uh suppose I'd want to ask uh for a show of hands on council.

M

Members who would be interested in attending a work session on that item.

A

And yes, we'll have a majority, I'm seeing enough that.

M

I believe we'll go ahead with that work session as scheduled.

M

There is also a meeting of the council's administration committee, uh scheduled.

M

For next tuesday september, 8th at 5, 00 pm.

M

uh That I wanted to bring to the attention of the council uh the agenda.

M

For that meeting is uh still being.

M

Discussed so uh possible topics- um I I don't even want to get into that.

M

Right now so uh uh there's a plethora of issues that the.

M

Committee might take up so.

M

You also heard the request from the mayor to schedule a special session for.

M

Next wednesday, a special session can be held on the.

M

Call of either the council president, uh the mayor or three council members.

M

I believe council member volun indicated he'd be willing to call a special.

M

Session- I don't know if the council wants to uh to vote on that. Certainly.

M

The president or the mayor, calling a special session is sufficient to.

M

Schedule one, I don't know: if there's any discussion needed there.

A

That's where it's going to make a motion yeah, just a question as to how.

C

That would be scheduled relative to land use committee if 90s meets next.

C

Wednesday, my inclination is to schedule any.

A

Committee first yeah, so uh that but.

A

You know I'm open to whether that's a 6, 30 or 5 30 meeting.

A

uh That's up to the to the chair and I'll be consulting with her.

A

uh But you know I mean if there's a motion tonight.

A

I'll certainly entertain it councilman varela.

H

I'd like to make the motion for a special session.

A

I mean there's no need to where, as long as there's no objection to it.

A

I can call the special session, so I don't know if that's your preference.

H

But you stated no, no, no! I I do I am I. I am calling for the special session. I'm.

A

Sorry I didn't make that clear earlier um unless there is an objection to that.

A

So, uh which will be for the ninth.

A

And again, uh council republic smith: yes, um I would like um to hold the land.

D

Use committee meeting starting at six and.

D

I think an hour would be enough for that. Okay, um just in case, though.

A

uh uh Without that would put us at 7 15, we would need.

A

Some transition time between meetings, um maybe 7 30, just to be safe.

A

Okay, so we would call the special session for 7 30 next week.

A

With lenny's committee at six, if there's no objection to that.

A

Okay, mr lucas, would you continue? The last item is a suspension of the.

M

Rules that the council adopted uh way back in a different world.

M

In uh in march of this year, this was shortly.

M

After standing committees were were created.

M

And the council on march 4th unanimously.

M

Adopted a motion to suspend certain rules under a.

M

Local code to give the council president certain scheduling.

M

Authority for for standing committees and.

M

That motion extended until september the first, which was yesterday.

M

And so council staff is recommending to extend that suspension of the rules.

M

To the end of the year, uh one of the possible topics for the.

M

Administration committee meeting on on tuesday may be some updates to title.

M

Ii, including uh scheduling matters, so to ensure that the president can.

M

Continue to provide some predictability in scheduling standing committee.

M

Meetings there is a draft motion that I've.

M

Provided that is something council staff recommends.

D

Rules under bloomington municipal code.

D

Authority to refer legislation to the appropriate committee before the meeting.

But such a referral may be changed by a motion.

D

Approved by a majority of the council, when the legislation is introduced for.

D

First reading second motion in a second thank you.
