B
That's
unanimous
with
a
clerk.
Please
read.
A
Second,
all
right:
this
is
to
be
presented
by
the.
E
I
am,
and
I
appreciate
it
I
really
have
told
you
most
of
what
I.
E
Together
in
a
very
thoughtful
intentional
way,
year
by
year,.
F
Report
back
from
that
meeting
today
from
either
our
city
attorney
philippa.
E
From
it
we're
pleased
to
continue
to
work.
E
That
that
taking
up
of
the
lit
will
be
done.
E
Something
and
we
we
have
serious
concern
that
it
will
not
be
in.
G
Thank
you,
questions
from
councilmemberallo.
H
Thank
you,
mayor
hamilton.
When
you
introduced
this,
you
introduced
it
as.
H
That
we're
going
to
have
difficulty
addressing
those.
H
Priorities
of
the
city
and
a
lot
has
been
made
of
the.
H
It's
a
draft
only
it's
not
meant
to
describe
specifically
the
spending.
E
About
what
are
the
right,
exact
approaches
that
we
want
to
take
on
the.
E
E
E
Looking
at
the
fiscal
condition
we
have
in
the
prognosis
in
the
next
few.
B
Speaking
to
the
tax
itself,
this
is
that
moment
the
clerk
will.
C
Just
a
couple:
yes,
we
do.
We
also
have
a
comment
that
was
sent
in.
C
I
Plead
with
you
please,
to
approve
this
proposed
tax.
Raising
taxes
is
never.
I
I
Can
work
together?
I
think
the
the
the
measure
that
was.
C
Go
ahead,
I'm
back,
like
I
had
said
previously.
I.
J
Hope
you
vote
no
on
this
to
me,
this
is
much
more
than
just
an.
J
J
J
C
Like
to
go
ahead
all
right
good
evening,
and
and
thanks.
K
K
Down
to
just
avoid
the
perils
of
winging
it
so
in
january,
when
the
mayor
first
proposed
a
half
percentage
point.
K
Most
in
need
of
assistance
in
our
community,
but
neither
the
neither
the
unclear
plans
for
the
revenue
nor
a
new.
K
Revenue
proposed
by
the
mayor
include
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
subsidies
for
home
buyers.
K
Regardless
of
the
outcome,
you
know
I
get
how
tough
this.
K
C
C
Sorry
there
you
are
mr
goodland.
If
you
want
to
unmute
yourself,
you.
M
Well,
this
is
this
is
interesting,
I'm
at
a
point
with
this
ordinance
where.
M
In
terms
of
whether
I
support
or
or
am
against
it,
but.
M
But
I
do
have
some
things
to
say,
which
is,
which
is
that.
M
Which
is
you
know,
mass
transit?
There
needs
to
be
in
terms
of.
M
But,
but
make
it
so
that
houses
across
the
city
are
able
to.
M
Access
it,
and
so
that,
because.
M
Because
right
now
the
status
quo,
my
my
partner
isn't
like,
like
he.
M
Ended
up
actually
losing
his
job
because
because
the
city.
M
And
you
know
need
to
ask
me
for
a
ride
so.
M
Very
essential
and
fundamental-
and
I
guess
the
mayor
makes
a
good.
M
Argument
he
ever
made
his
arguments
last
week
were.
M
Pretty
lousy
that
that
we
can
kind
of
pass
this.
M
Ordinance
and
figure
out
where
to
put
it
later,
which.
M
Once
this
tax
is
passed,
it
has
to
all
go
to.
M
Mayor,
so
he
says
is
to
is,
is
to
come
up
with
possible
proposals.
M
And
and
die
on
that
hill
is
whatever
it
is.
There's
bigger.
M
Determinants
than
this
tax
and
and
there's
going
to
be
people.
M
Without
homes,
whether
there's
a
tax
or
not
and
even
more
coming,
so
there
really
has
to
be
a
robust.
M
That
at
first,
when
looking
at
it
that.
M
There
is
some
amount
dedicated
to
a
friend's
place
in
shalom
center,
but.
M
Housing
first
initiative:
that's
that's
going
to
take
care
of
the
homeless
population
and
and
we're
going
to
have
to
look
at
other
avenues.
M
At
least
for
now,
because
it's
it's
really
like
it's.
M
M
But
but
there's
still
trust
issues
I
mean
we're
going.
M
Let's,
let's
be
honest
about
the
kind
of
administration
we
have.
M
And
and
as
constituents
in
the
public
and
the.
M
To
hold
abuses
that
the
mayor
does.
M
Meaningfully
accountable,
so
so
so.
M
On
this
ordinance
and
but
ultimately
at
some
point,
we
do
have
to
have.
M
N
N
Aaron
predmore,
I'm
the
president
and
ceo
of
the
greater
bloomington
chamber.
N
Current
proposal,
in
any
form
an
additional
18
percent.
N
Opposed
it
specifically
at
this
time,
seen
finally,
only
9
supported
the.
N
The
income
tax
investments
would
be
sustained.
N
Lack
of
collaboration
it's
been
mentioned.
N
N
N
Routinely
vote
in
positively
about
the
school
referendum
every
four
or
five
years
they
increase
their.
Q
Q
Q
C
R
Does
not
seem
clear
that
even
this
body,
this
commission
could
endow
this.
R
R
Alex
goddard
jumping
in
there,
so
I
just
wanted
to
respond
to
that
in.
R
Aren't
considered
or
bonds,
but
I
hope
I
hope,
for
the
best.
R
Versus
this
proposed
coordinates
in
front
of
you
today.
R
So,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
appreciate
your
time.
D
Proposed
tax
will
address
the
admissions
produced
by
buses
in
the
city.
T
Oh
boy,
there
was
a
lot
that
was
said
that
I'd.
T
Soon
as
possible,
you
know
there
are
arguments
being.
T
Or
for
better
collaboration,
I
think
we
need
to
lead
by
example,.
C
Yes,
we
have
natalia
gab
galvin,
sorry
natalia.
If
you
want
to
go
ahead.
U
C
There
you
are,
if
you'd
like
to
unmute,
you
can
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
V
So
I'm
going
to
first
of
all
say
that
I
would
like
to.
V
Second,
what
daniel
bingham
said
in
case,
I
don't
have
a
chance
to
go
any.
V
Uncertainty
in
the
future,
so
with
that,
I
yield
my
time.
W
Okay,
hi,
sorry
so
I'll
make
it
brief.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
though
I
don't.
X
X
2019
was
the
hottest
rec
decade
on
record.
California's.
H
Yes,
to
address
one
of
the
two
concerns
by.
E
Money
that
they're,
if,
if
this
tax
were
to
go
into
place,
that
they
could
use
that
for
for
transit,
absolutely
and
I'd
I'd,
be.
E
Well,
it
is
true:
the
city
could
use
geo
bonds.
I
guess
a.
E
Responsible,
we
we
have
looked
at
that,
but
that's
not
a.
E
Detail
on
that,
but
it's
certainly
something
that
the
county
has
used:
those
for
more
short-term.
E
For
many
of
the
kinds
of
funding
that
we
would
need
here
for
jack
hopkins
or.
A
Yes,
I
wanted
to
follow
up
on
the
question
about
the
allocation
amount.
A
Of
the
lit,
if
it
if
it
passes,
because
there
are
two
ways
to.
A
Mayor
hamilton
or
or
maybe,
mr
underwood,
if
he's
on
the
call.
A
Describe
those
options
for
us
and
and
what
we're
gonna
do.
Oh,
yes,
absolutely.
E
Passed
this
year
in
the
next
few
weeks,.
E
Tax
committee,
the
local
tax
council,
can
adjust
that
we
haven't.
E
Given
the
current
legislation,
the
local
income
tax
council.
E
Population
based,
if
you
take
affirmative
action
to
do.
E
E
Member
kim
referencing,
the
legislature.
E
Charles
schultz's,
charlie
brown
and
lucy
in
the
football
kind
of
comes
to.
A
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
we
followed
up
the.
A
With
public
comment
that
was
actually
questions,
there
was
one
question.
E
Major
competitive
grant
to
purchase
more
electric
buses
we're
we
are.
E
Moving
substantially
to
explore
that
option
of
of
transit.
E
Energy
efficient,
a
cleaner
system
and
we'll
absolutely.
H
We
all
know
the
risk,
although
this
is
a
flat
tax,
has
been.
H
Spending
which
we
intend
to
do
can
it
be
used
for.
H
Seriously-
and
I
think
that
we
we
we
all
do-
this
is
the
means
by.
H
H
And
I
urge
my
colleagues
to
support
it.
Thank
you.
B
Y
Appreciate
all
the
members,
the
public
who
have
reached
out
to
us
and
commented
tonight
or
or
sent
in
emails.
Y
And
a
lot
of
folks
have
been
engaged
with
this
issue,
not
just
in
the
last.
Y
Month
or
two,
but
in
throughout
the
year-
and
I
appreciate
that
you
know
regarding
some
of
the
process.
Y
Concerns
again,
it's
the
hand,
we're
dealt
to
some.
Y
Dismiss
you
know
the
the
public
safety
lit.
Y
Really
raising
any
any
problems
with
it
at
that
time,
so
it's.
Y
There's
not
always
going
to
be
agreement.
You
know
mr
bringham
made
a
good
point
that
and
this
kind
of
gets
to
city
county.
Y
Y
We
are
in
the
we
are
still
in
declaration.
We've
tracked,
our
greenhouse.
Y
Y
Y
About
why
we
made
you
know,
differ
on
this
particular
issue
at
this
particular.
Y
Time
so
I
feel
good
about
that
actually,
and
I
think
the
the
narrative
that
that
this
is
a
toxic.
Y
Relationship
is
absolutely
false.
Unequivocally.
Y
Let's
see
regarding
how
to
how
to
you
know,
weigh
a
decision
like
this.
I.
Y
Appreciate
that
councilmember
smith,
for
instance,
has
reached
out
to
a
lot
of
people
and
even
did
a
survey
on
next
door,
which.
Y
I,
which
I
think
you
know,
admire
and
applaud,
and
I
know
the
chamber.
Y
Surveyed
its
members,
as
did
the
ellisville
chamber
and
and.
Y
Survey
is
imperfect,
you
know,
there's
all
sorts
of
response.
Y
Y
Y
Common
good,
that's
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
and
if
you
know,
if
this
plan
isn't
good
enough.
Y
Y
Best
to
hear
those
concerns
and
address
them
and
at
the
end
of
the
night,
my
vote
comes
down
to
a
relatively
simple
question
which
is:
do
I
think
this
is
the
right
thing
to
do
in
the
interest
of
the
greater
good
of
the
city
of
bloomington,
and
that
answer
is
yes,
so
I
would
encourage
my
colleagues
to
vote
yes
as
well.
Thank
you.
Z
So
part
of
my
thinking
on
this
is,
you
know:
first,
we
kind
of
started.
Z
Little
things
there
was
climate
great,
you
know
I
I'm
happy
to.
Z
Support
taking
care
of
the
planet
and
environmental
causes.
Z
Recreational
initiatives
there's
social
services,
of
course,
I'm
for
that.
Z
Jack
hopkins,
but
it's
this
amorphous
plan
that
it's
like:
let's.
Z
Z
Politics
and
I
it's
the
general
consensus-
is
that
people.
Z
Don't
want
this
tax
and
I
realize,
as
a.
Z
That
say
we
don't
want
this.
I
I
it
just
made
me
think
a
lot
and.
A
Yes,
thank
you.
I,
this
has
been
one
of
the.
A
We
need
to
do
everything
we
can
do
yes,
but
I
feel
like.
A
Lot
of
support
for
this
tax,
I
feel
like
we
need
to.
A
Private
sector
is
that
they
don't.
F
Amenities
that
have
been
discussed
in
this
proposal-
and
I.
F
Is
not
a
clear
focus
to
it
and
that's
problem
number
one
problem
number
two,
which
council.
F
F
B
AA
Are
no
solutions,
there
are
only
trade-offs,
and
this
is
a
great
example
of
that.
I
am
grateful
for
everything
I
have.
AA
AA
We've
realized
in
the
city
budget.
Thank
you
to
our.
AA
And
by
that
I
mean
the
tax
counsel
for
recognizing
that
it
has
such
an.
AA
AA
AA
AB
AB
I
just
want
to
put
that
out
there.
A
lot
of
people
have
touched
on
a
lot
so.
AB
AB
Incredibly,
real
and
touching,
but
what
I
didn't
really
hear
that
much
about
is.
AB
Can't
see
it,
I
I
hope
I
mean
it
looks
like
this.
AC
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
the
public
for
their
comments.
AC
Impassioned
comments
of
my
colleagues,
but
what
I
really
want
to
say
is
you.
AC
AC
Difficult
corporations,
organizations.
AC
Extensive,
I
mean
meaningful
input.
Did
we
really
get
that
I
was
a
little.
AC
Our
climate
change
issues
but
part
of
the
ordinance
we
talked.
AC
To
a
more
specific
part
of
the
agenda.
AC
Other
pegs
with
social
justice.
Now
I
know
there.
AC
AC
Beginning
I
say
all
that
to
say
that.
AC
This
is
very
difficult
again
for
me
as
we
move
through
the
night.
It
was
you.
AC
This
is
not
a
good
feeling,
I
know
people
I
have
entry-level.
AC
You
have
to
consider
those
things
they're
looking
at
that.
AC
AC
We've
done
really
really
good
things
with
regard.
AC
The
president
says
anything
I
I
just
want
to
say
this
is.
AC
Difficult
was
prepared
to
say
yes
earlier
today.
AC
B
Which
are
called
for
right
now.
Everyone
has
seen
the
blows
rained
upon.
B
And
years
to
come
with
that,
that
ends
the
first.
H
Just
two
brief
comments:
I
think
one
is
I'll
be
looking
to
my.
H
Evening
to
proceed
on
working
on
revenues
that.
H
I
don't
think
that
we
can
afford
to
wait.
I
think
that
we
need
to
proceed.
F
Is
not
shy
about
bringing
forward
whenever
we're
in
a
tough.
F
So
this
is
risky,
we
all
know
it,
but
I
think
we're
all
on
the
same
page
here.
Y
Yeah,
just
briefly
addressing
a
few
things,
I
I
was
nice
to
hear
all
the.
Y
Various
reasons
and-
and
I
respect
that
I
I
too
look.
Y
Forward
to
working
with
our
county
colleagues
and
others
as
we.
Y
Have
been
but
frankly,
those
conversations
are.
Y
Sometimes
difficult
in
the
spring,
when
we
started
addressing
this,
there
was
zero
interest
in
in
talking
among
our
county
colleagues.
They.
Y
I
just
mean
it's
something:
we
need
to
work
on.
Y
And,
in
fact,
six
of
the
seven
county
councilors
I
spoke
to
in
recent
days.
Y
All
agreed
that
they
know
they
know
they
are
well
behind.
On.
Y
Y
Things
and
just
to
be
clear
on
the
climate
front.
Y
Who
live
near
busy
roadways?
It
should
be
aimed
at.
Y
Y
Conditions
who
are
disproportionately
represented
in
certain
vulnerable
groups,
you
know
lowering
energy
costs
for.
Y
Most
of
all
for
the
next
generation
and
and.
Y
You
know
we're
trying
we're
going
to
keep
trying,
but.
Z
Process
all
these
different.
Z
Having
trouble
paying
the
rents,
you
know,
ellisville
opposes
it.
Z
But
I,
but
I
think,
where
I
really
come
down
to,
is.
Z
Out
and
you
know
we're
having
a
kind
of
a.
Z
I
mean
people
just.
Z
Those
things
and-
and
we
want
to
come
together
to
work.
B
I
would
say
only
that
I
vaguely
regret
not
limiting
members
of.
B
The
public
questions
and.
C
Yes,
councilmember
rolla,
yes,
scandaloury.
B
Legislation
for
first
reading,
we
have
none.
We
now
go
to
additional.
AD
The
motion
to
adopt
ordnance
2016.
it
the
motion
would
need
to
be
made.
AD
By
a
a
member
on
the
prevailing
side
of
that.
AD
Motion
which
council
member
flaherty
is
and
essentially
put
the
question
of.
B
We
need
a
second
for
the
motion
to
reconsider.
Second.
Y
Would
you
go
ahead
by
way
of
explanation?
I
think,
given
the.
Y
Via
resolution
2013
that
ordinance
2016.
Y
Is
moot
and
to
the
extent
that
we
consider
future.
Y
Edit
proposals,
I
think
it
should
be
part
of
that
conversation
going
forward
and
I
think
the
simplest
way
I.
Y
Passed
and
if
resolution
2013
also
when.
Y
Would
need
to
do
something
to
reintrodu
to
remove.
C
Yes,
rollo,
yes,
that's
unanimous,
so
we
are
now.
B
Reconsidering
ordinance
2016,
which
was
adopted.
B
Tonight,
mr
lucas
is
their
discussion.
B
On
reconsidered
motion
again,
it's
it's
debatable.
AD
Motion:
okay,
I'll,
take
questions.
B
Is
there
any
public
comment
on
the
motion
to
recon
on
the
reconsideration
of
ordinance
2016,
which
was
adopted
tonight.
B
Councilmember
sims!
Oh
I'm
sorry,
mr
clerk,
it
looks
like.
M
Hi,
so
I
want
a
second,
you
know
david.
M
Couple's
sentiments,
I
don't
always
agree
with
what
he.
M
Says
but
wholeheartedly
agree
with
what
he.
M
Says
this
time
and
I
think
it's
part
of
being
introspective
and.
M
Ordinance
2013
that.
M
The
commission
and
that
way,
we'll
look
forward
to
having
a
tax.
M
That
does
have
public
input
that
goes
to
where
we
want.
M
And
moves
the
needle
I
yield
my
time.
AD
I
don't
believe
so.
This
is
a
vote
to
adopt
ordinance
2016
that
you're
now.
AE
Flaherty
yeah,
I
appreciate
the
comments
from.
Y
Well,
taken
it's
actually
one
that
county
councillor
munson
made
to
me
in
a
conversation
the
other
day.
Y
Y
Think
that
voting
not
to
implement
it.
Y
Point
worth
considering
that
you
know
it's
worth
thinking
about.
B
B
Agree
with
the
assessment
councilman
flaherty
made
that
you
know
it
could
be
good.
B
Customer
flare
to
draft
to
the
sloppy
presentation
on
it's
just
by.
B
Because
it
had
to
be
created
so
quickly
but
more
importantly,.
B
So
I
simply
can't
support
the
retention.
B
Of
this
commission,
I
think
it
we.
We
should.
B
With
that,
I
would
say
that
my
vote
will
be
no
to
retain.
B
What
we
adopted
tonight
is
there
any
other
comment
before
we
go
to
a
vote.
B
Yes,
okay,
this
is
from
dave
askins
from
the
b.
B
B
AD
Yes,
thank
you
next
week
currently
scheduled.
AD
Committee
meetings
that
same
evening.
A
September
12th
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
B
Several
minutes
I
would
suggest
it
would
start
at.
B
6
30
6
30
start
just
just
to
correct
council
member
volun
there
there
may
be.
AD
Resolutions
that
are
ready
for
action
next
week
that
could
be.
B
But
nevertheless
there
will
be,
there
will
be
some.
B
Anything
else,
mr
lucas,
I
don't
believe
so.
No.
