I
Some
of
his
observations,
of
course
reflect
sustainability
and
the
second
we're
reactivating
our
trying
to
reactivate
our
water
quality
group
that
will
focus
primarily
on
surface
water
and
a
number
of
Commissioners
have
significant
experience
in
dealing
with
water.
All
these
issues,
particularly
our
longest
serving
member
of
the
eCig
his
career
with
spear
in
this
area,
goes
back
50
years
plus,
so
that
covers
things
that
are
really
I,
think
a
nutshell
of
what's
active
in
with
mcrs.
Oh
sorry,
what
the
mail
commission,
MC
IRS
is
continuing
this
year
hopes
to
be
have
enough.
I
Well,
it
does
have
more
resources
than
previous
years
to
support
planting
of
replacement
vegetation,
and
we
are
very
cognitive
of
the
needs
of
the
underserved
members
of
our
community
in
this
area.
So
they
will
be
getting
you
know
what.
If
we
get
participation
from
them,
we
will
try
to
help
them
with
priority,
and
you
know
also
our
work
with
parks
and
other
departments
were
all
currently
engaged
in
things
that
involve
they'll,
continue
to
support
sustainability
and
environmental
purposes.
So
that's
all
I
have
to
say.
H
J
Just
I
think
we're
discussed
before
here
that
or
approve
our
Outreach.
We
need
to
utilize
social
media
alert
people
into
projects
that
we
have
going
on
and
try
to
engage
more
of
the
community
I'm,
not
a
specialist,
at
that
she
is
she's,
gladly
offered
to
assist
and
expand
her
own
portfolio
and
helping
us
in
our
project.
So
if
you
guys
have
anything
specific
or
just
wanted
more
information,
we
could
all
discuss,
move
forward
on
social
media
outreach
and
if
we
have
enough
set
up
a
regular
schedule
with
our
for
engagement.
A
K
C
B
B
Should
I
just
do
a
whole
overview
just
from
the
start,
so
basically
there
is
ten
thousand
dollars
for
small
neighborhood
grants.
That's
going
to
be
made
available
through
basically
because
in
partnership
with
our
department
for
Grants
up
to
a
thousand
dollars
for
neighborhoods
qualifying
groups
and
keep
going
so
these
are
the
groups
that
will
be
eligible
to
apply.
B
Basically,
the
way
that
the
process
is
going
to
go
is
that
they
will
submit
an
initial
application
of
the
project
that
they're
proposing
a
project,
narrative
project
details,
deliverables,
and
then
they
will
select
what
cap
goal
it
aligns
with
and
provide
a
statement
of
relevance
on
how
it
aligns
with
that
that
application
will
come
through
to
City
Staff.
First
we'll
just
approve
their
General
eligibility,
and
then
we
have
got
Ms
set
up
and
the
grant
software
as
a
reviewer.
B
So
once
we've
approved
eligibility
it'll
come
through
to
you
guys,
she'll
have
access
to
the
full
application
and
then
together,
as
vcos
members
you'll,
be
able
to
review
it.
I've
created
an
evaluation
sheet
for
you
all
to
use
with
various
different
criteria
based
on
the
different
elements
of
the
application.
B
B
B
But
we've
listed
the
goals
and
strategies
in
the
cap
that
projects
can
be
aligned
with
we've,
basically
pulled
out
ones
that
are
feasible
as
like
neighborhood
type
projects
and
then
listed
a
few
non-exhaustive
project
ideas.
So
we've
talked
about
Neighborhood
Community,
Gardens,
planting
native
pollinator
Gardens
and
selling
neighborhood
Organics
collection
for
composting
Etc,
so
give
people
a
few
ideas.
Ideally
I
think
we're
looking
to
launch
this
open
this
up
potentially
next
week,
depending
on
how
quickly
we
can
get
some
documents
reviewed
from
legal.
B
E
B
K
K
So
we're
gonna
have
a
press
release
website
I
asked
because
members
reach
out
to
their
neighborhoods
wherever
you
guys
live
and
let
people
know
about
it.
We
can
set
up
a
table
at
the
farmer's
market
and
let
people
know
about
it
that
way.
You
can
reach
out
to
organizations
that
we're
affiliated
with
to
let
people
know.
A
K
E
E
B
You
go
okay,
yeah
this
process,
much
more
simple,
so
this
is
for
B
coast
members.
We
have
separate
pot
of
funding
for
you
all.
So
similarly,
this
form
will
be
in
the
shared
drive
and
when
you
guys
have
an
idea,
if
and
when
for
a
project
that
you'd
like
to
fund
you're
gonna,
fill
out
basically
similar
elements
that
the
sustainable
neighborhoods
one
will
fund
so
description
of
the
project
outcomes,
budget
timeline
and
then
a
certain
amount
requested.
K
Things
I
think
it
would
just
depend
on
what
the
project
is
and
you
all
would
vote
to
to
determine
whether
it's
took
the
ball
and
if
it's
appropriate,
so
there's
not
a
limit
on
it.
But
the
funding
pod
is
10
000.
But
so,
if
you
want
to
host
a
workshop,
a
community
Workshop
or
something
like
that,
funding's
available
for
that,
so.
B
That
they're
reviewing
right
now
once
those
are
good
to
go
everything
else
in
terms
of
a
press
release
website
tax
program
guidelines,
so
the
application
is
all
completed.
Everything's
set
up
to
go,
live
as
soon
as
the
forms
make
it
through
legal.
This
one
I,
don't
know
there's
much
in
terms
of
legal
review
needed
so.
K
K
E
E
M
K
K
So
just
a
few
more
things
I
wanted
to
talk
about,
so
we
still
have
our
climate
ready
climate
ready,
Community
survey,
that's
up
until
October
just
wanted
to
help
spread
the
word
about
that
and
get
more
people
to
complete
that
survey.
We
have
about
55
people
so
far,
so
if
we
could
increase
that
number,
that
would
be
great.
So
it's.
K
It's
a
survey
about
our
climate
risk
and
vulnerabilities
here
in
Bloomington
and
last
Wednesday
I
was
at
city
council
and
earthkeepers
gave
a
final
presentation
about
their
work
here
in
Bloomington
it
was
a
full
20
minutes
and
it
was
very
informative.
I
recommend
people
to
watch
that
if
you
haven't
already
and
I
provided
the
link
to
that
cat's,
video.
M
K
C
M
M
Let's
see,
we
have
a
sanitation
fees
ordinance
before
the
council
that
we're
considering
we
looked
at
this
in
June,
while
we've
looked
at
it
periodically
over
the
last
several
years,
mainly
in
relation
to
concerns
amongst
the
members
about,
as
it
relates
to
how
we
fund
sanitation
services,
so
there's
a
wide
variety
of
how
folks
fund
sanitation,
sometimes
it's
purely
revenues
from
fees.
Sometimes
folks
use
tax
dollars
for
it.
We
do.
A
combination
spend
about
a
million
dollars
from
the
general
fund.
E
E
M
O
M
Is
there's
not
political
support
to
Tinker
with
that
at
this
time,
but
we're
still,
nevertheless
looking
at
increasing
cost
environment
and
other
things
that
we're
trying
to
address,
and
so
we
have
a
second
ordinance.
That's
under
consideration
right
now
with
us
another
hearing
for
it
tomorrow
night,
where
they
have
amendments
and
look
at
possibly
a
one-time
fee
increase
to
address
Rising
costs
and
the
ability
to
replace
trucks
on
a
more
reasonable
time
cycle,
and
some
things
like
that.
M
That,
let's
see
it's
been
some
ongoing
conversation
around
lower
Cascades
Park
and
the
viability
and
policy
options
for
a
high
Comfort,
safe,
walking
and
biking
facility
through
there.
It's
part
of
about
20
years
of
policy
planning
for
network
connections
on
the
north
side
of
town.
This
has
been
substantial
Investments
already
to
the
north
of
the
main
part
of
Cascades
Park
by
the
ball
fields,
also
up
to
Clubhouse
Drive
and
along
Clubhouse
Drive.
There's
kind
of
two
segments
that
have
yet
to
be
finalized.
M
One
is
from
the
intersection
of
Clubhouse
and
kinzer
all
the
way
up
to
Acuff,
which
would
also
take
it
right
by
the
high
school
and
the
athletic
facilities
there
and
then
also
a
section
through
Cascades
Park.
That
would
connect
again
separated
multi-use
path,
all
the
way
down
to
Miller
showers
Park
and
connecting
to
that
Network.
M
M
M
So
the
challenges
are:
that's
a
very
tight
space.
If
you
all
have
been
down
in
Cascades
Park,
it's
you
know
follows
a
creek
bed.
I'm
talking
about
our
mouth
commission.
Look
at
this
and
was
looking
at
some
of
the
Environmental
Quality
challenges,
I'm
concerned
about
the
amount
of
tree
removal
and
Bank
stabilization.
That
would
have
to
be,
if
for
the
to
leave
the
road,
as
is
now
and
have
a
separate,
fully
fully
separated
multi-use
path.
M
So
we've
been
exploring
several
policy
options.
One
is
do
nothing
which
doesn't
meet
our
policy
goals,
but
we
could.
You
know,
of
course,
ultimately
look
at
Alternatives
that
might
have
other
options,
a
multi-use
path
on
Kinser
Pike.
Instead,
for
instance,
the
other
three
options.
One
is
to
to
build
a
separated
multi-use
path
altogether
from
the
road
again
might
have
it's
the
highest
expense.
It
might
have
some
real
Environmental
Quality
concerns.
M
A
second
is
to
move
convert
through
the
road
through
the
park
to
a
one-way,
Road
and
and
widen
it
also
a
bit
create
some
separated
infrastructure
and
have
dedicated
multi-use
path
for
part
of
it.
The
third
option
would
be
to
implement
what
was
a
pandemic
pilot
which
closed
about
a
mile
section
of
the
road
to
vehicle
traffic
in
order
to
convert
it
to
a
multi-use
path.
M
So
in
that
last
case
there
would
still
be
vehicle
access
to
the
park
just
not
through
the
park,
as
there
is
now
that
has
generated
a
fair
amount
of
pushback
from
I
would
say
at
least
several
other
residents,
maybe
maybe
even
more.
On
the
North
side.
We
also
have
some
data
on
this.
From
the
pilot
period.
There
was
a
survey
for
Park
users
at
that
time.
M
170
folks
took
it
I
think
and
the
majority
were
in
favor
of
conversion
to
a
multi-use
path,
but
the
council
is
kind
of
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
do
about
that.
I've
been
talking
to
colleagues
and
talking
to
planning,
department
and
constituents
and
not
sure,
quite
where
we're
going
to
land
I'm
interested
in
bringing
a
resolution
of
some
kind
to
help
give
policy
Direction
and
request
an
appropriation
or
design.
M
M
We've
looked
at
this
for
some
time
and
in
fact,
already
planned
it
at
least
for
a
high-speed
East-West
Third
Street
Corridor,
that's
being
being
developed
after
we
dedicated
a
quarter
percent
income
tax
increase
to
transit,
to
help
augment
service.
So
that's
been
in
the
works.
Also,
there's
some
federal
policy
changes
that
I
think
are
limiting
where
rural
Transit
can
serve
basically
they're,
not
able
to
serve
in
urbanized
areas
anymore
in
unincorporated
County.
M
So
that
might
leave
a
real
service
gap
for
some
folks,
which
is
another
policy
reason
to
expand
service.
What
remains
to
be
determined
is
what
exactly
a
cost
sharing
kind
of
arrangement
might
look
like
with
County
government
City
contributes
around
5
million,
maybe
a
little
more
to
the
Bloomington
transit's
budget.
They
also
get
money
from
the
feds
and
the
state,
but
again
trying
to
do
that
in
a
way-
that's
fair
and
and
for
everyone
involved,
but
that's
also
in
development.
It's
something
that's
been
talked
about
for
a
long
time.
M
M
We
last
did
this
maybe
a
decade
ago
and
in
particular
to
look
at
two
settings
leading
pedestrian
intervals
and
pedestrian
recall
as
defaults,
if
not
everywhere,
at
least
in
high
pedestrian
areas
downtown
so
leading
pedestrian
interval
is
when
The
Pedestrian
signal
changes
about
two
seconds
three
seconds
ahead
of
the
car
signal.
Statistically,
it
saves
lives.
People
go
out
in
the
view
shed
the
four
folks
turn
and
run
into
people
so
from
a
pedestrian
safety
and
a
pedestrian
priority.
M
Standpoint
contest
of
Transport
Equity
Transportation
sustainability,
trying
to
give
some
policy
Direction
there
to
make
sure
that
that's
actually
prioritized
in
the
study
and
I
think
we
only
have
one
or
two
in
this
one
or
two
signals
of
the
90
Plus
in
the
city
right
now
that
actually
have
a
leading
pedestrian
interval.
So
it
just
hasn't
this.
This
is
known
this,
the
safety
benefit,
but
it
just
because
it's
kind
of
triangulated
between
a
few
different
apartments
departments
and
folks
are
at
capacity,
and
we
had
this
study
some
time
ago.
N
I
think
Dennis
is
here
and
she's
planning
to
speak
to
our
meeting
with
Duke
Energy
that
we
had
following
up
on
your
introduction.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
that
and
I'm
going
to
speak
to
our
meeting
that
we
had
with
an
organization
called
safe
cities
and
safe
is
an
acronym
and
they're
based
out
of
Portland
Oregon
and
safe
cities
is
an
organization
that
helps
Network
cities
that
are
trying
to
stay
safe
from
the
harmful
effects
of
climate
change,
particularly,
and
so
they
are
go.
N
They
have
a
network
of
environmental
organizers
who
are
on
similar
commissions
to
ours
in
other
places
around
the
U.S
I
think
she
said
they
even
have
one
or
two
in
Indiana,
and
certainly
in
other
states
that
have
very
similar
circumstances
to
our
cities.
So
they're
going
to
be
connecting
us
with,
like
regular
I,
think
a
monthly
networking
calls
like
a
newsletter
to
see
what
other
cities
are
doing
in
regards
to
climate
change.
So
we
can
kind
of
that'll
give
the
just
transition
working
group
sort
of
a
you
know.
N
D
D
Ensure
that
we're
also
supporting
our
mission
of
Just,
Energy,
efficient
housing
and
so
their
primary
Mission
and
Duke
Energy
they
said,
was
to
achieve
Net
Zero
methane
emissions
by
2030
and
to
achieve
Net
Zero
carbon
emissions
by
2050..
They
said
that
the
best
way
that
we
could
possibly
work
together
is
by
helping
to
educate
the
public
about
the
benefits
of
renewable
energy
and
ensuring
that
they
know
that
it
is
beneficial
because
it's
something
that's
affordable
and
good
for
the
environment.
D
Something
else
that
Duke
Energy
does
is
that
they
have
a
presentation
where
they,
just
the
presentation,
is
pretty
much
a
PowerPoint
that
they
can
do
for
the
commission
or
they
can
do
for
the
public
whenever
it's
needed
to
talk
to
them
about
their
mission.
What
they're
trying
to
do
and
how
they're
going
to
do
it
and
also
to
talk
to
them
about
how
our
renewable
energy
is
beneficial,
I,
think
one
of
the
concerns
that
they
talked
about
was
just
like.
D
How
are
we
ensuring
our
drugstore
transition,
which
is
pretty
much
what
it
has
already
been
addressed?
And
that
means
you
know?
How
can
we
ensure
that,
as
for
individuals
who
are
working
in
Coal
Mines
that
they're
able
to
transition
to
a
job
afterwards,
and
so
like
they
talked
about
how
they're
partnering
up
with
other
non-profits,
to
ensure
that
they're
giving
them
skills
so
that
they
can
work
yeah
so
that
they
still
have
a
job
after
they
retire?
The
coal
mines
is
what
they
talked
about.
D
D
One
of
them
is
known
as
the
LIHEAP
program,
which
is
meant
to
support
low-income
families
to
pay
their
energy
bills,
and
the
other
one
is
the
weatherization
assistance
program
which
is
supposed
to
support.
Just
households
can
sign
up
for
this
program
and
they
can
make
their
house
more
energy
efficient.
D
It
is
important
to
note
that
there
are
certain
eligibility
criteria
that
they
have
to
need
that
households
have
to
meet
in
order
to
be
part
of
this
program
yeah.
So
right
now
we're
in
the
initial
talking
phase
I
think
before
the
next
commission
meeting
we're
planning
on
meeting
together
to
see
how
we
can
work
together
with
Duke
to
ensure
our
goals
are
aligned
yeah.
N
Actually
raised
that
in
our
meeting
and
their
response
was
that
they
that
they
think
that
there's
still
an
incentive,
because
people
are
still
somehow
saving
money
at
some
level
and
I
actually
asked
if
they
have
any,
if
they've
actually
seen
or
produced
any
data
on
whether
that
is
dropped,
since
they
removed
that
you
know,
since
they
changed
the
rules.
If
that's
actually
changed
behavior
and
they
said
they
haven't,
they
haven't
seen
any
studies
yet
or
done
any.
So
that
might
be
something
we
could
follow
up
on.
C
F
C
I'm
sure
this
is
their
the
part
of
the
the
company
that
does
outreach
and
does
tries
to
to
greenwash
the
company,
but
I'm
just
never
gonna
trust
the
utility,
because
all
they
care
about
is
money
from
from
my
perspective.
So
if
we
can
use
them
by
all
means,
let's
use
the
heck
out
of
them.
But
let's
keep
in
mind
that
they're,
just
purely
green,
washing
their
company.
N
Those
are
definitely
voucher
to
to
you
know,
explore
further
in
our
Outreach
and
collaboration
with
them.
We
we
also
brought
up
overall
profits
and
how
those
might
be
affected
by
a
renewable
transition,
and
they
they
said
that,
because
of
how
they're
regulated,
they
thought
that
they
don't
necessarily
need
to
worry
about
profits,
dropping
in
a
renewable
transition.
They.
E
E
G
Nothing
major
there's
been
a
little
bit
of
work
done
on
the
spreadsheet
of
various
groups
and
individuals
that
we
might
want
to
reach
out
to
at
some
points,
there's
a
little
bit
of
progress
on
that
front,
but
other
than
that.
Nothing
major
over
the
last
month
really
appreciate
the
offer
for
helping
out
with
some
of
the
Social
Media
stuff,
because
Outreach
to
the
general
public
is
another
big
sort
of
thrust
for
this
community
outreach
or
strategic
engagement.
Outreach
group
that
we
have
so
we'll
definitely
talk
more
about
that
I'm.
C
No
no
well
they've
been
asking
the
actual
community
Orchard
if
they
can
start
dropping
off
food
there.
So
still
hearing
from
Plenty
of
community
members.
Where
can
we
put
our
food
waste?
I
recently
contacted
a
gentleman
from
New
Jersey.
It's
called
Community
Food
cycle
I
think
it's
communityfoodcycle.com.
He
does
an
industrial
scale
bokashi,
which
I've
spoken
about
before
I'm
trying
to
get
him
to
do
a
presentation
for
the
CAC,
which
is
part
of
the
Monroe
County
Solid
Waste
District,
because
they
have
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
their
budget
to
address
food
waste.
C
So
I
think
it
makes
a
total
sense
that
the
county
and
the
city
should
collaborate
together.
Basically,
what
the
limited
that
I
that
he
told
me
is
there's
a
machine.
That's
I,
don't
know
how
much
it
costs,
but
that's
what
you
need
to
do
industrial
scale
with
the
idea
that
right
now,
there's
a
50
to
500,
000
Grant
for
I
think
federally.
C
That
has
to
be
equal
matching.
So
if
the
city
and
the
county
were
to
combine
funds
to
get
that
piece
of
Machinery,
what's
really
cool
is
with
the
city
looking
at
biodigester
I,
don't
know
if
everybody's
familiar
with
what
that
is.
It
essentially
takes
our
poo
and
turns
it
into
methane.
At
the
end
of
the
cycle,
the
city
needs.
There's
three
scenarios
with
this
biodigester
is
going
to
cost
50
million
dollars.
C
The
federal
government's
going
to
give
us
15
to
25
million
dollars
of
that
the
city
will
fund
would
fund
the
rest
if
it
gets
approved,
but
the
first
is:
if
we
don't
get
enough,
hsow
high
strength,
organic
waste.
If
we
just
get
from
the
water
treatment
plant,
it
would
be
about
a
million
dollars
in
a
red
per
year.
The
second
one
would
be
essentially
a
break.
Even
we
would
need
some
industrial
sites
to
give
us
hsow
on
the
third.
C
It
would
actually
end
up
being
profitable
so
to
speak,
and
they
would
be
producing
more
methane
and
would
cover
the
cost
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
what's
cool
about
the
industrial
scale,
bokashi
is
at
the
end.
I
haven't
verified
this,
except
from
Matt
from
Community
Food
cycle.
He
said
that
the
end
product
could
currently
in
New
Jersey.
They
send
it
to
a
biodigester
as
hsow,
so
that
would
increase
the
amount
of
hsow
to
make
the
biodigester
more
likely
to
break
even
or
even
be
potentially
profitable.
A
P
N
E
N
E
P
Q
You
I'm
so
sorry
I'm
in
transmit.
My
trouble
got
delayed
yeah,
just
not
only
put
it
exactly
perfect.
Basically,
I
just
thought
it
would
be
really
important
for
us
to
listen
to
what
Nate
at
Samantha
has
to
say,
because
I
think
there's
some
ways
that
we
can
collaborate,
especially
the
new
working
group.
That's
helping
with
sort
of
project
management
and
some
of
those
marketing
things.
Maybe
there's
ways
we
can
spread
the
word
or
co-collaborate,
more
intersectionally,
so
I'm.
Q
P
P
Challenges
so
Summit
Hill,
Community,
Land
Trust
is
a
program
of
Summit
Hill
Community,
Development
Corporation,
which
is
the
non-profit
wing
of
the
Bloomington
Housing
Authority
I,
know
that's
a
lot.
It's
common
for
housing
authorities
to
create
a
non-profit
so
that
they
can
expand
their
mission.
Housing
authorities
can
actually
access
other
Grant
funds
that
they
can't
usually
if
they
have
a
non-profit
Wing.
So
that's
that's.
My
role
is
kind
of
develop
a
role
in
that
space
and
our
first
really
big
project
is
the
Community
Land
Trust,
so
the
city
Administration.
P
P
I'm
not
sure
how
to
do
that
without
seeing
it
anyway,
so
the
city
has
contributed
land
and
there
you
go.
Thank
you
so
Trinity,
House,
Development,
Northwest
of
17th
and
Arlington,
is
the
big
student
monstrosity,
but
they
had
an
agreement
with
the
city
that
they
would
set
aside.
45
single-family
Lots
with
infrastructure
and
that's
what's
forming
the
foundation
of
the
Community
Land
Trust.
P
There
was
a
proposal
put
out
and
Clear
Creek
and
Habitat
for
Humanity
were
selected
as
Builders,
primarily
because
they
can
build
at
a
lower
price
point
than
pretty
much
anybody
else.
If
you're
not
familiar
with
Clear
Creek,
they
build
modular
which
meet
the
same
building
code
as
a
standard
stick
built
code,
but
part
of
it
is
built
in
a
factory.
So
that's
that's
how
they
can
afford
to
build
inexpensively.
P
Either
way,
the
reason
we
need
this
and
I'm
sure
everybody
here
is
probably
familiar-
is
the
price,
the
sales
price
of
houses
and
all
residences
Rises
much
more
quickly
year
to
year
than
our
incomes.
Do
we
looked
back
at
the
20
year
last
20
years
and
on
average
in
Bloomington
house
sales
prices
went
up
five
percent
per
year
and
it
would
be
generous
to
say
our
incomes
go
up
two
percent
per
year
and
that's
I
would
say:
that's
actually
an
exaggeration,
so
this
creates
a
gap
that
the
whole
country
is
experiencing
it.
P
P
It's
not
a
new
model.
It
actually
developed
alongside
Habitat
for
Humanity
in
Georgia.
It
started
as
agricultural
project
and
then
jumped
to
residential,
and
the
basic
idea
is
that
homeowner
is
only
buying
the
structure,
not
the
land.
The
land
becomes
and
remains
permanently
part
of
the
trust
and
that's
the
key.
The
key
component
that
brings
down
the
price
to
make
it
affordable
for
more
homeowners.
P
I'll
jump
through
this
pretty
quick,
but
essentially
the
ground
lease
it.
It
creates
something
or
contains
something
called
a
shared
Equity
model
which,
over
time,
a
portion
of
each
time.
That
house
sells
a
portion
of
appreciation,
stays
with
that
house
so
and
that
appreciation
that
portion
becomes
a
discount
for
the
next
low-income
home
buyer.
P
But
75
percent
of
the
appreciation
is
going
to
stay
with
that
house
and
discount
it
for
the
next
low-income
home
buyer
I
have
some
handicrafts
here
coming
up.
You
can
skip
several
ahead
to
this
little
house.
So
that's
basically
what
I
explained
this
is
the
basic
model
that
makes
a
shared
Equity
model
work.
P
The
other
thing
this
does
is
it
it
removes
Land
from
the
speculative
market.
So
part
of
the
issue
in
Bloomington
in
places
like
Bloomington,
is:
if
developers
can
get
a
hold
of
land
they're
going
to
maximize
their
profits.
I
mean
that's,
that's
what
they're
there
to
do
where
we're
actually
removing
land
permanently
from
the
speculative
Market.
It
becomes
part
of
the
trust
and
it
will
be
permanently
affordable
and
that's
part
of
what's
in
the
ground
lease
as
long
as
Summit
Hill,
Community
Development
Corporation
exists.
P
This
these
ground
leases
will
exist
so
jumping
ahead,
just
to
I,
think
I've
kind
of
explained.
These
benefits
something
else
unique
about
Community
Land
trusts
is
I,
said
we're
going
to
put
additional
subsidies,
so
you
have
the
value
of
the
land
that
discounts
the
the
sales
price
for
the
home
of
a
buyer.
P
P
It's
it's
a
little
complicated,
but
so,
let's
say
we're
at
a
point
of
resale:
we've
had
a
land
trust
home
owner
in
this
home
and
they're
ready
to
sell
the
current
appraisal
when
they're
ready
to
sell
IS
250
000.
when
they
bought
the
house,
it
appraised
for
200
000,
and
therefore
we
have
our
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
our
appreciation.
P
25
percent
of
that
goes
with
the
seller.
75
stays
with
the
house.
This
is
so
below.
In
that
seller
column,
there
you'll
see
their
original
appraisal
price,
and
in
this
scenario
there
is
a
land
Value
Plus
additional
cash
subsidy
equally
in
seventy
five
thousand
dollars,
so
that
first
home
buyers
purchase
was
125
000
to
get
into
that
house.
These
aren't
exactly
Bloomington
numbers.
P
This
is
those
are
a
little
low,
but
it
gives
you
an
idea
of
how
much
that
house
is
discounted
to
actually
make
it
affordable
for
somebody
with
a
much
lower
income,
and
so
you
see
their
equity
share
available
to
the
seller
drops
in
there.
So
when
that
seller,
the
original
seller
sells,
they
are
walking
away
with
137
500..
Now
they
still
have
a
mortgage.
They
have
to
pay
off
with
that.
P
So
there's
it's
not
they're,
not
getting
all
of
that
money,
they're
still
a
mortgage
involved
if
this
was
10
years,
they're
probably
walking
around
with
closer,
like
thirty
thousand
dollars
in
the
buyer
column.
So
this
is
tomorrow's
low
low
to
moderate
income,
home
buyer.
So
you've
got
the
current
appraisal
of
250
000
on
that
house.
It
is
automatically
discounted
by
that
recycled
subsidy
of
seventy
five
thousand
dollars,
and
then
you
have
an
additional
37
500.
That
brings
the
sales
price
for
tomorrow's
low
to
moderate
income,
home
buyer
to
137
500..
P
P
So
you
can
see
this
keeps
a
Home
Affordable
over
time.
It's
going
to
grow
somewhat
each
each
sale,
but
really
the
subsidy
should
grow
more
and
we
don't
know
I
mean,
obviously
if
houses
continue
to
rise
like
crazy
in
terms
of
their
value.
Obviously
it
could
create
problems
with
this
model,
but
it's
better
than
what
we
have
right
now.
P
P
One
of
the
things
and
we've
had
initial
conversations
with
the
assessor
that
and
they
seem
open
to
the
idea
that
they'll
only
tax,
the
homeowner
on
the
structure
not
on
the
land,
and
so,
if
you
are
a
homeowner
and
you've
seen
property
taxes
go
up,
it's
often
the
land
that
is
increasing
in
at
property
tax.
That's
where
you
see
the
big
increase.
So
this
has
another
stabilizing
effect
of
keeping
people's
monthly
payment
more
reasonable,
so
I'll
kind
of
stop
there.
P
E
P
Some
stats,
it
seems
to
work
especially
well
for
minority
homeowners.
First
time
home
buyers,
you
can
see
the
increase
there.
Seven
out
of
10
home
Land
Trust
home
buyers
go
on
afterwards
to
buy
a
market
rate
home.
So
we
really
see
this
as
a
stepping
stone,
though
people
could
stay
in
this
home
for
Generations.
That's
that's
fine.
P
P
Is
Summit
Hill
well
and
actually,
even
beyond
that
I
mean
it's
the
Housing
Authority,
because
it's
a
subsidiary
of
the
Housing
Authority.
It's
really
the
Housing
Authority
that
maintains
control
of
this
nonprofit
and
this
Housing
Authority
has
been
here
since
1961..
So
it's
got
some
longevity
I,
don't
think
the
Housing
Authority
is
going
anywhere.
It
fulfills
a
pretty
right,
I'm,
just.
P
Potentially
happen,
I
mean
it
happens
occasionally,
but
I,
for
instance,
Bloomington
did
have
a
land
trust
in
the
early
2000s
which
fell
apart
when
the
market
crashed
and
that's
primarily
it
wasn't
the
model
that
screwed
it
up.
It
was
that
the
banks
walked
away,
that
they
saw
this
as
an
unusual
kind
of
mortgage
and
I
will
just
say
since
then,
in
2012,
Fannie,
Mae
and
Freddie
Mac
have
created
a
mortgage
writer
specifically
for
Land
Trust.
So
these
are
packed
mortgage
loans
now
meaning
they
can
be
sold
so
anyway.
N
P
So
we've
been
meeting
with
local
lenders
and
we
have
four
or
five
lenders
that
are
on
board
and
they're
all
lenders
that
do
FHA
Loans
now
FHA
Loans
is
just
below
the
80
area,
median
income.
So
that's
a
federal
loan
that
allows
for
a
lower
credit
score
and
it's
I
don't
fully
understand
it,
but
it's
provides
some
federal
backing
that
makes
Banks
comfortable
with
lending
to
somebody
they
might
not
otherwise
lend
to
so.
P
There
are
local
banks,
interested
I,
have
to
say
it's
Fannie,
Mae
and
Freddie
Mac,
creating
that
mortgage
writer
that
really
makes
lenders
comfortable
that
they
know
they
can
sell
this
mortgage
if
they,
if
they
need
to
ideally
I
mean
interest
rates,
are
this,
is
these
are
impacted
by
interest
rates
too?
So
if,
if
interest
rates
do
come
down,
that's
the
best
case
scenario,
but
it's
we're
not
in
there
right
now,
but
people
still
need
homes
and
we
will
still
get
them
a
lower
monthly
payment
than
anything
on
the
market.
P
P
I
mean
I
think
I
saw
today
as
kind
of
an
introduction
and
so
I
think
keeping
a
conversation
going
I.
Can
you
jump
all
the
way
back
to
that
plat?
The
third
slide,
I
think
I
mean
I,
certainly
have
ideas.
This
is
an
all-electric
neighborhood,
there's
no
gas
in
this
neighborhood
and
for
especially
for
low-income
families,
low
to
moderate
income,
families
being
able
to
buy
heat
pumps.
Some
of
the
stuff
that
comes
with
all
electric
is
more
expensive
and
adding
solar.
P
P
I
could
see
us
you'll
see
that
green
common
space-
it's
not
green
on
here,
but
it
is
green
number
50
there
I
mean
there's
a
perfect
scenario
for
a
micro
solar
project
for
the
whole
neighborhood
I
mean
that
it's
its
own
grid,
yeah
doing
an
actual
and
I
I'm,
not
saying
that
I'm
an
expert
in
that,
but
I
could
see
that's
somewhere.
We
could
partner
and
I
think
you
know.
The
future
Community
here
might
be
really
interested
in
something
like
that.
P
This
is
all
of
the
houses
are
south
facing
the
roofs
are
South
and
North,
so
it's
they're,
pretty
ideally
situated
for
solar,
they're,
not
blocked.
There's
enough
space
between
this
and
the
the
student
housing,
so
I'd
say
solar
is
the
big
place.
Being
all
electric
is,
is
a
big
step
to
have
an
all-electric
neighborhood
we're
open
to
partnering
I
think
having
a
creative
conversation
about
how
we
could
use
the
land
trust
to
support
sustainability.
Initiatives
too,
is
a
great
Direction.
So
is
this
already
developed
the
it
is
planted?
P
E
P
O
C
P
There
is
Stone
so
that
absolute
price,
there's
Limestone,
underneath
much
of
this
neighborhood
yeah.
That
probably
makes
it
unrealistic.
I
mean
it's
it's
something
to
explore.
Yeah
do
you
want
to
the
thing
I
didn't
mention
is
we
are?
This
will
be
serving
up
to
120
their
immediate
income?
So
this
isn't?
This
is
low
to
moderate
income.
That's
the
idea,
which
means
a
lot
of
us,
could
apply
for
one
of
these
house
houses
and
get
in
and
so
I.
Don't
remember
those
numbers
offhand.
C
Basically
so
they're
all
the
grid
and
they
would
essentially
have
their
own
power
of
the
solar,
but
when
the
grid
shuts
down
solar
has
to
shut
down,
because
you
can't
back
feed
the
grid.
If
the
utility
companies
can
be
working
on
it,
so
they
would
have
to
install
batteries,
and
so
by
having
the
batteries
it
would
allow
the
neighborhood
to
stay
up.
It's
not
going
to
be
your
AC,
it's
going
to
be
your
most
important
load,
so
that
might
be
your
fridge,
freezers
and
medical
equipment.
C
So
it's
going
to
be
certain
Breakers
that
would
still
be
on,
but
what
that
really
means
is
you
have
with
climate
change?
You
have
a
very
a
much
safer,
neighborhood
and
resilient
neighborhood,
because
the
grid
goes
down
they're
still
up
so
I
think
it's
a
fantastic
idea.
It
would
be
great
promotion
for
you
guys
it
would.
C
P
H
N
F
N
P
P
So
I
sit
on
the
affordable
housing
committee,
the
Mayors
and
there's
there's
often
developers
coming
through
with
ideas
I
in
that
sense,
we're
a
developer,
partner
and
I.
Think
if
and
I
don't
know
how
things
will
change
with
the
new
Administration,
but
I
think
we
can
be
a
partner
to
make
projects
like
that
happen.
P
P
We
would
play
more
of
a
managing
the
affordable
units
and
keeping
them
permanently
affordable.
So
right
now
what
happens
when
a
developer
develops
a
new
building?
You
know
they
might
make
an
agreement
for
tax
credits
or
whatever
or
with
the
city
and
they'll
keep
those
units,
so
many
units
affordable
for
whatever
area
meeting
income
for
maybe
15
years.
Sometimes
it's
more.
That's
not
the
case
with
us.
Ours
would
be
permanently
affordable.
So
when
they're
agreeing
to
work
with
us,
those
they
will
become
part
of
the
land.
P
Trust
rentals
are
a
little
bit
different
because
there's
not
a
land
underneath,
but
basically
it's
it
becomes
a
covenant.
So
there
will
be
a
covenant
on
that
property.
That
said
this,
this
many
Lots
forever.
As
long
as
this
building's
standing
need
to
remain
or
had
this
many
units
need
to
remain
affordable,
so
we're
totally
open
to
that.
But
we
it's
we've,
got
our
hands
full
at
the
moment
of
course.
So
that's
that's
one
piece,
I
would
say
habitat
combining
habitat
with
the
land.
P
Trust
model
allows
us
to
serve
even
lower
income
households,
so
habitat
exclusively
only
serves
under
80
right
now,
but
we
could
be
even
on
the
lower
end,
opening
up
home
ownership
to
you
know
below
40
percent,
so
it's
which
they
do
sometimes,
but
they
lose
money
when
they
do
that
in
our
model.
If
we
combined
we're
not
it's
more
sustainable
financially,
so
there's
that
and
then
with
Clear
Creek
they
can
only
the
ABS
part
of
it
is
just
construction
costs.
P
You
can
only
sell
to
somebody
that
can
buy
a
house
for
as
inexpensively
as
you
can
build
the
home
So
Clear
Creek
can
build
it
less
than
your
market
rate
Builder
or
your.
You
know
your
Lauren
Woods
or
people
that
are
doing
luxury,
but
it's,
but
they
can
only
go
so
far
to
they
could
only
bring
down
the
price
so
much
so,
let's
say
they
can
bring
down
their
price
to
200
000
and
then
the
land
is
worth
fifty
thousand.
P
So
that's
our
beginning
sales
point
for
a
low-income
family
and
now
we
could
add
additional
subsidy
to
bring
it
down
even
lower,
but
we're
limited
on
how
much
cash
subsidy
we
have.
So
it's
we
have
to
be
strategic
about
about
that,
and
so
I
mean
we're
also
just
figuring
this
all
out,
and
but
this
is
how
other
communities
have
done
this,
and
so
thank.
P
It'll
be
hopefully
by
the
end
of
2026.,
so
we're
looking
at
12
a
year-ish
and
we
will
sell
some
of
these
Lots
market
rate
rate
to
generate
subsidy
for
lower
income,
we're
estimating
selling
five
of
them,
which
will
generate
some
income,
because
if
you've
tried
to
buy
land
and
Bloomington
it's,
it
is
not
easy
and
it's
expensive.
So
great.
N
Sent
you
the
slides,
yeah,
oh
I,
think
I
mislabeled,
those
yeah,
it's
the
one
that
says
notes
actually
should
be
that
yeah
I
I
reversed
it
perfect.
Thank
you
all
right,
thanks
to
my
fellow
because
members
for
allowing
the
Caps
commission
to
speak
about
such
an
important
project
here
today,
I'm
joined
by
my
fellow
co-commissioner
and
co-author
of
the
report,
Pamela
Brown
Sparks,
if
I
may,
offer
a
brief
introduction
of
Cami
to
you
all.
While
I
have
lived
in
Bloomington
long
enough
to
call
it
home.
N
Cami
was
born
and
raised
here,
she's
a
true
Bloomington
local,
with
historic
roots
in
our
city,
including
roots
with
our
City's
system
of
public
safety
and
law
enforcement.
Kamela's
Father
Charles
Brown
spot
Charles
Brown
was
the
first
black
police
officer
in
our
city,
who
retired
as
a
captain.
After
22
years
of
service
Cami
has
a
BS
in
education
from
Saint
Mary
of
the
woods
and
has
been
active
for
many
years
in
community
organizations
working
to
make
Bloomington
a
safer
and
more
sustainable
Community
for
everyone.
F
N
Our
process
generally
followed
the
design,
centered
entrepreneurship
process
of
social
Innovation,
created
by
Min
bassador
and
Michael
goldsby,
who
was
my
professor
at
Ball,
State
University,
where
I
did
my
MBA
to
enhance
the
evidential
basis
for
our
work.
We
added
a
root
cause
analysis
to
the
process.
N
This
ensures
our
commission
has
a
system
level
understanding
of
the
community
problems
that
we
were
hoping
to
solve
and
could
discern
between
root
causes
causal
mechanisms
and
symptoms.
In
the
fact-finding
stage
we
gathered
all
the
existing
relevant
quantitative
data
reports
and
scholarly
works
on
community
safety
and
policing.
We
next
use
this
data
to
identify
key
stakeholders
and
performed
a
six-month
community
outreach
campaign
to
gather
diverse
perspectives
on
these
issues
from
the
people
in
our
community
consent.
N
By
way
of
criminalization
and
incarceration
being
community-led
means
that
while
the
commission
facilitated
the
process,
the
community
is
really
the
author
of
the
report
as
you'll
see
in
the
80s,
so
80
or
so
pages
of
Keystone
stakeholder
testimonies.
This
community
cares
a
lot
about
ensuring
everyone
has
access
to
a
life
of
safety,
and,
what's
more,
we
already
have
all
the
ideas
and
resources
in
our
community
that
we
need
to
do
that.
N
O
After
tracing
each
symptom,
each
of
the
symptoms
back
to
the
systemic
root
causes,
thus
commission
identified
three
key
problem
areas
of
systemic
leverage
points
that
can
be
resolved
to
create
a
more
agile
and
responsive
public
safety
system
that
can
allow
our
community
to
adapt
and
respond
accordingly
to
changing
safety
needs.
The
first
problem
is
the
persistent
and
growing
barriers
to
access
of
important
safety
resources
in
our
community.
O
The
second
is
the
confusing,
frequently
conflicting
goals
of
existing
City
departments,
who
are
currently
tasked
with
improving
Public
Safety
that
prevent
them
from
prioritizing
human
human
safety
in
all
of
their
operations.
For
example,
we
found
that
the
competing
City
goals
of
law
or
code
enforcement
and
neighborhood
and
economic
development
at
times
undermine
or
even
actively
harm
the
goals
of
community
safety.
The
third
problem
area
we
then
identified,
and
maybe
the
most
important
one-
is
a
functional
Gap
around
the
coordinating
and
strategic
response
to
these
growing
Public
Safety
threats
in
our
Outreach.
N
We
then
asked
ourselves:
how
might
we
recommend
a
city
program
that
can
solve
all
of
these
systemic
issues
that
can
allow
our
community
to
take
a
strategic
response
to
these
emerging
threats
to
Public
Safety?
The
main
recommendation
in
our
report
is
the
creation
of
a
new
Department
of
Community
safety
and
resilience
or
a
dcsr
that
will
prioritize
upholding
Community
safety,
above
all
other
competing
goals.
N
In
the
immediate
and
short
term,
the
primary
role
of
the
dcsr
will
be
to
create
a
non-coercive,
highly
trained
peer
responder
team,
who
can
respond
to
the
growing
numbers
of
service,
calls
to
9-1-1
for
low-level
non-violent
calls
for
help
that
do
not
require
an
armed
law
enforcement
officer
response
such
as
drug
overdose,
mental
health
crises
or
elderly
and
infant
care.
This
right
care
right
person,
model
of
crisis
response
is
aimed
at
improving
Justice
outcomes,
yet
it
has
also
been
demonstrated
in
other
U.S
cities
to
reduce
overall
costs
in
crime.
N
Besides
this
critical
short-term
role,
however,
the
dcsr
also
has
a
fundamental
long-term
role
as
the
world
around
our
city
changes
and
the
threats
to
our
community
safety
evolve
over
time.
The
dcsr
will
maintain
public
data
dashboards
that
track,
anticipate
and
show
how
it
is
responding
to
these
threats.
O
The
recommendation
for
a
dcsr
is
contingent
on
the
results
of
the
feasibility
study
to
be
carried
out
by
an
independent
firm
to
assess
the
economic,
organizational
and
legal
implications
of
such
a
department.
Cities
such
as
Denver
Colorado
and
Eugene
Oregon,
who
have
taken
Community
safety-led
approaches,
have
seen
cost
reductions
in
public
safety,
emergency
and
ambulance
spending
that
more
than
cover
the
cost
of
operating
these
programs.
O
Furthermore,
they
have
experienced
reductions
in
overall
crime
and
violent
crime,
so
we
expect
the
feasibility
study
to
find
that
a
dcsr
will
actually
save
rather
than
cost
the
city
money
organizationally.
The
dcsr
will
enable
the
city
to
combine
several
of
the
most
important
safety
related
Services
into
one
Department,
whose
main
objective
is
human
safety
or
working
to
identify
and
resolve
competing
goals
that
exist
in
other
departments
that
directly
impact
safety.
O
Legally,
we
expect
there
may
exist
some
federal
laws
and
state
statutes
or
codes
that
may
have
effects
on
our
recommendations
that
we
are
aware
of
when
creating
a
dcsr.
So
the
study
will
allow
us
to
identify
any
of
those
that
may
exist.
Finally,
it
was
uncovered
in
our
Outreach
that
the
city
has
not
had
an
independent
public
audit
for
several
years
and
that
without
this
first
step,
any
serious
economic
analysis
would
be
speculation
at
this.
N
Cater
of
the
United
Nations
sdgs,
as
you
all
know,
is
no
poverty
from
the
UN
website.
This
means
to
quote
end
poverty
in
all
its
forms
everywhere.
End
quote:
what
does
eliminating
poverty
mean?
It
tends
to
refer
to
absolute
poverty
or
creating
a
floor
of
access
to
basic
resources
that
everyone
in
society
can
access
as
needed.
N
This
is
unsustainable
when
the
police
department
cannot
find
or
retain
enough
staff
to
fill
positions
because
of
the
low
workplace,
morale
from
officers
who
are
sent
to
respond
to
calls
that
they
are
not
licensed
or
trained
to
deal
with.
This
is
unsustainable
when
the
city
has
increased
the
police
budget
by
50
percent
in
four
years,
yet
the
crime
rate
has
not
gone
down,
and
many
problems
have
only
gotten
worse.
This
is
unsustainable
foreign.
O
Ers
of
our
city
do
not
have
access
to
Safe
housing,
mental
health
care
and
drug
treatment.
How
can
we
expect
them
to
prioritize
caring
for
the
environment
because
of
the
necessity
of
human
beings
to
have
access
to
shade
trees
for
shade
from
trees,
water
for
Hygiene,
cooking
and
other
purposes,
coupled
with
our
City's
denial
of
safe
housing,
hygiene
and
basic
sanitation
services
to
unhoused
Residents,
the
non-traditional
living
areas
of
unhoused
residents
in
Bloomington
are
frequently
located
near
or
insensitive
environmental
habitats
for
other
living
beings.
O
The
in-house
residents
living
near
Clear,
Creek,
off
switch
yard
Park
have
no
choice
but
to
harm
the
wildlife
plants,
water
quality
and
other
environmental
resources
of
Bloomington
simply
to
survive.
No
one
in
our
city
should
be
forced
to
choose
between
their
own
Survival
and
causing
environmental
damage
to
the
wildlife
and
plants
who
live
near
creek
beds
and
natural
resources
that
we
all
depend
fun
to
have
a
good
quality
of
life.
N
After
this,
as
we
continue,
our
Outreach
with
boards
and
commissions,
Cami
and
I
are
here
to
invite,
because
to
be
the
first
commission
to
support
and
collaborate
on
this
with
us
in
the
next
step,
steps
which
include
creating
a
feasibility
study,
finding
a
qualified,
firm
and
ensuring
a
future
dcsr
will
keep
Bloomington
safe,
resilient
and
sustainable
for
many
generations
to
come.
Thanks
for
letting
us
speak
today.
Are
there
any
questions.
J
J
Phase
based
transition,
so
while
people
call
9-1-1
for
everything
now
a
police
officer
show
up,
is
there?
Is
there
a
plan
like
At?
First
there's
somebody
from
the
the
dcsr
that
goes
with
the
officers
and
then
as
they
gain
seniority,
they
find
out
which
situations
are
more
appropriate
for
their
services.
Maybe
you
go
down
to
one
police
officer
with
multiple
DCS,
our
agents
or
Representatives.
Is
there?
Is
there
an
actual.
N
J
N
N
O
N
Percent
right,
yeah
and
the
other.
The
other
best
best
practice
case
that
we
studied
that's
very
relevant
here-
is
Durham
North
North
Carolina,
which
is
the
home
of
Duke
University,
another
college
town.
They
have
a
department
of
it's
like
Department
of
Community
safety,
I,
think
it's
almost
identical
and
they
actually
have
four
teams,
and
one
of
them
is
a
team
of
mental
health
clinicians
who
are
embedded
in
the
emergency
dispatch
so
that
you
literally
have
someone
on
scene
who's,
a
licensed
mental
health
expert
deciding
who
should
go.
N
What
team
should
be
sent
and
they're
also
able
to
de-escalate
the
situation
before
the
crisis?
Responders
arrive,
so
crisis
response
is,
would
be
a
big
part
of
this
Improvement,
but
the
reason
why
our
main
recommendation
is
for
a
dcsr
instead
of
just
this
crisis
response
team
or
something
to
be
handled
by
an
existing
department,
is
that
we
found
the
most
important
thing
learned
from
other
cities.
Who've
done.
N
This
is
that
it
needs
to
have
oversight
and
Authority
in
the
city,
structural,
Authority
and
Community
oversight,
in
a
way
that
ensures
it
can
resolve
those
conflicting
goals
that
come
up
between
safety
and
other
things
right.
There's
lots
of
goals
that
the
city
has
to
do.
It
has
to
do
Economic
Development,
and
it
needs
to
do
law
enforcement
right.
But
there
are
situations
where
those
goals
conflict
and
having
a
department
that
is
basically
parallel
to
the
police
and
fire,
but
who
prioritizes
safety
rather
than
law
enforcement
or
other?
N
It's
funded
so
I
mean
again.
Part
of
the
feasibility
study
is
to
lay
out
the
details
of
that,
but
in
other
cities
they
have
found
that
the
savings
from
the
public
safety
spending,
so
I've
mentioned
the
police
budget's
gone
up
50
in
four
years,
so
there's
cost
savings
to
be
considered
right,
but
yeah
the
I
mean
it's
funded.
N
The
way
any
other
City
departments
are
funded
right
and
but
the
idea
is,
this
is
a
more
efficient
model
and
you
would
literally
be
bringing
a
lot
of
almost
all
of
this
is
existing
I
mean
there's
a
few
of
it.
That's
new,
but
a
lot
of
it's
already
existing.
You
know
the
fire
department
has
a
mobile
health
unit
and
everyone
knows
the
police
have
their
embedded
social
workers
like
a
lot
of
this
is
already
existing
and
we
simply
want
to
streamline
it
or
organize
it
better.
N
Under
one
Department,
whose
sole
focus
is
safety
and
that's
their
main
priority
to
make
sure
that
people
who
are
currently
deprived
of
Emergency
Services
because
they
are
afraid
to
call
911
because
of
possible
harm
to
them
through
these
other
problems,
you
know
that
will
provide
them
with
access
to
Emergency
Services.
Just
giving
people
access
to
Emergency
Services
saves
money.
So
there's
there's
so
many
ways
that
this
saves
money
as
well
as
reducing
harm.
So.
N
E
N
N
Yeah
actually
yeah,
that's
number
one
and
then
number
two
is
specifically
about
key
performance
indicators
and
actually
I.
You
know,
I
was
gonna
speak
to
this,
but
because
you
know
we're
running
short
on
time,
but
I,
but
actually
the
key
performance
indicators
that
we
recommend
I
think
are
also
ones
that
could
be
utilized
by
because
in
its
you
know,
mission
of
our
commission
is
to
find
is
to
identify
and
track
sustainability
indicators
and
I.
N
Think
a
lot
of
the
indicators
involved
and
key
recommendation
too,
could
also
be
ones
of
sustainability,
for
the
reasons
that
we
laid
out
that
that
that
poverty,
Justice
and
environmental
harm
are,
you
know,
intricately
correlated,
and
so
these
indicators
really
inform
each
other
in
lots
of
ways
that
you
know
don't
need
to
be
reduced
to
one
or
the
other.
It
doesn't
need
to
be
public
health
or
safety.
It
doesn't
need
to
be
the
environment.
N
E
A
You
yeah
so
we'll
we'll
review
the
letter
next
meeting
and
we'll
put
it
up
for
about
if
we
want
to
endorse
cool.
Thank
you
Bob.
Thank
you.
Okay,
so
last
thing:
a
new
business
I
wanted
to
bring
up
the
environmental
Community
networking
mixer,
Nolan
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
any
more
information
than
I
do.
L
L
Either
so
yeah
they
were,
they
were
wanting
to
know
by
yesterday.
If
somebody
from
our
commission
wanted
to
be
there
next
week
on
Tuesday,
it
would
be
equipment
from
around
3
P.M
to
5
30
P.M
at
the
O'neill
school
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
be
there.
So
it's
kind
of
a
big
ask
all
of
a
sudden
next
Tuesday.
L
C
Okay,
last
but
not
least,
I
make
a
motion
to
recommend
to
the
city
council
that
we
removed
John
Eldon.
Her
bylaws
he's
missed
three
meetings,
and
so
we
cannot
remove
the
city
council
has
to,
but
we
need
to
make
a
recommendation
and
then
they
will
follow
up
with
him
and
see
it
to
see
if
there
have
been
extenuating
circumstances
as
to
why
he
hasn't
been
able
to,
but
he's
missed
three
in
a
row
and
he's
missed
multiple
prior
to
that
so
I
make
the
motion:
do
I
have
a
second.
