A
Very
much
Chuck
and
thanks
everybody
for
being
here.
It
was
just
a
week
ago,
at
this
session,
where
we
we're
talking
about
the
upcoming
March
and
I.
Just
want
to
note
the
rally
and
March
that
was
held
last
Friday
afternoon
was
a
very
powerful
day
for
our
community,
a
demonstration
of
caring
and
activism,
the
likes
of
which
we
actually
haven't
seen
in
terms
of
scale
in
recent
history.
A
I
want
to
note
in
the
Kovan
world
the
masks
participation
was
huge,
I
would
say
over
90
percent,
95
percent,
or
so
for
from
my
vantage
point,
and
we
really
appreciate
that
physical
distancing,
not
so
much
so
we're
keeping
our
fingers
crossed
that
that
gathering
of
thousands
of
people
focused
focused
on
improving
our
city
and
our
country
won't
cause
a
copepod
reaction.
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
briefly
and
I'll
right
that
in
a
moment,
of
course,
we're
moving
to
stage
four
today,
I'm
sure
we'll
hear
more
about
that
from
miss
Caudill
and
others.
A
But
I
will
note
that
the
park's
about
two
dozen
parks
and
fitness
centers
actually
are
open.
Now
our
parks
department
was
getting
ready
for
this,
so
those
playgrounds
at
the
parks
about
two
dozen
of
those
and
fitness
centers
are
open.
Today,
they've
been
disinfected
and
we'll
still
keep
signs
encouraging,
distancing,
but
those
are
available,
but
basketball
courts
are
also
available
on
sports.
Leagues
are
beginning
their
practices,
of
course,
with
with
stage-four,
with
the
exceptions
that
we
have
with
the
increase
in
offices
and
stores
and
dining
capacity.
A
Just
very
briefly,
thank
the
two
working
groups
on
behalf
of
our
whole
community
that
have
focused
on
economic
stabilization
and
recovery.
They've
now
put
out
about
1.5
million
dollars
in
support
for
local
businesses
and
organizations
and
into
recovery
planning.
Just
a
couple
quick
examples
of
that.
We
final
approval
still
pending,
but
we
expect
changes
in
signage
rules
to
actually
let
some
of
the
businesses
as
they
reopen
to
communicate
a
little
better,
loosening
up
on
size
fees,
location
and
number
of
signs
to.
A
Let
the
businesses
get
their
communications
more
directly
to
people
through
the
next
couple
months,
as
well
as
a
week
from
today,
pending
final
approval
from
City
Council,
but
expected
Wiegand
we're
going
to
do
a
pilot
to
close
Kirkwood
Avenue
on
a
couple
blocks
between
grant
and
Indiana
to
allow
the
restaurants
and
facilities
there
to
use
the
sidewalks
and
parking
areas
for
expanded
on
outdoor
dining
activities.
Turn
the
street
into
the
sidewalk
for
the
weekend
to
see
how
that
goes,
check
it
out.
Kirkwood's
got
a
whole
new
remake
on
it.
A
So
we'll
look
forward
to
I
also
want
to
thank
that
social
services
group,
which
has
continued
its
great
work
to
support
the
fundamentals
of
shelter,
food,
child
care
and
and
personal
health.
So
let
me
just
return
back
where
I
started,
which
was
with
the
rally
and
the
the
notion
and
the
awareness
of
pressures
and
changes
on
all
of
us
to
keep
reviewing.
What
we
do.
I
will
encourage
folks
if
you're
interested
there
will
be
a
board
of
public
safety
meeting.
This
coming
Tuesday
at
5:00
p.m.
A
C
You
so
much
and
thanks
everyone
for
being
here.
I
do
want
to
let
everyone
know
that
all
of
the
county
parks
facilities
and
trails
are
open,
except
for
the
following:
the
splash
pad
drinking
fountains
and
the
small
playground
at
cars
near
the
soccer
field.
Some
restrooms
are
closed,
but
there
are
restroom
facilities
available.
C
I
also
want
to
update
the
community
that
we
have
granted
27
businesses
in
the
county
that
are
involved
in
tourism,
related
industries,
we've
granted
them
twenty
two
hundred
sixty
five
thousand
dollars
also
beginning
on
Monday
county
buildings
that
have
been
closed
to
the
public
will
be
open,
but
by
appointment.
So
if
you
need
to
reach
out
to
a
particular
department,
please
visit
their
website
or
give
them
a
call
for
instructions
and
further
information,
also
beginning
on
Monday.
C
Our
board
and
Commission
meetings
will
resume
on
zoom'
only
for
now
also
I'm
pleased
to
announce
that
we've
been
working
with
the
County
Council
to
provide
$100,000
in
additional
funding
to
our
Township
Trustees.
The
moratorium
on
rental
evictions
and
on
utility
shutoffs
is
going
to
be
ending
in
July
early
July,
so
we're
working
to
try
to
ensure
that
the
townships
have
the
funding
they
need
to
assist
our
area
residents
across
the
county.
C
Also,
a
big
thank
you
to
everyone.
Who's
been
wearing
their
face
coverings,
including
its
rally
on
Friday,
which
was
an
amazing,
powerful
event,
but
we
do
want
to
remind
residents
to
please
continue
to
wear
face
coverings
out
in
public
and
it's
it
is
a
sign
of
kindness
and
caring
and
respect
for
others
in
the
community.
So
please
continue
to
do
your
good
work,
so
we
can
continue
to
loosen
restrictions,
we're
very
hopeful
that
this
county
has
been
so
thoughtful.
C
D
Thank
You
Chuck
I
have
a
couple
of
topics
to
share
from
IU
Health
this
week.
One
is
regarding
the
easing
of
visitor
restrictions
and
then
the
other
what
you
might
expect
as
far
as
us
continuing
to
be
very
cautious
about
this
pandemic
and
this
virus
starting
Monday,
June,
15th,
Indiana
University,
held
statewide,
will
be
relaxing
some
of
the
temporary
visitor
restrictions
that
we
put
in
place
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
The
revised
guidelines
do
allow
for
one
visitor
per
patient
per
day
in
inpatient
areas.
D
D
In
addition,
the
visitors
must
be
18
or
older
and
I
will
say:
we've
seen
an
increase
of
parents
bringing
their
children
to
the
facility
that
are
under
18
years
old,
and
so
we
would
request
that
you
comply
with
the
over
18
only
requirement.
Please
visitors
to
the
outpatient
areas,
the
emergency
department,
our
primary
care
clinics
and
other
physician
offices
will
we'll
evaluate
the
visitors
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
depending
upon
the
need
for
someone
to
have
a
caregiver
or
leis
on
with
them,
and
so
we
don't
have
just
broad
guidelines
for
those.
D
As
far
as
our
additional
steps
to
ensure
the
safety
of
our
patients,
you
will
continue
to
see
our
providers
and
patients
and
team
members
wearing
masks
and
asking
you
to
put
on
the
masks
as
well.
We
will
provide
those
to
our
patients
and
the
visitors
at
no
cost
social
distancing
will
continue
to
be
encouraged.
D
We
are
redesigning
spaces
throughout
the
facility,
including
our
waiting
rooms
in
our
outpatient
areas
and
inpatient
areas.
We
want
very
limited
waiting
in
the
outpatient
setting,
that's
what
we
continue
to
revise
processes
to
achieve
that
and
then.
In
addition,
we
have
enhanced
disinfecting
procedures
throughout
all
of
our
facilities
and
we
will
continue
to
do
so.
Thanks
Chuck,
all.
E
Afternoon,
thank
you
very
much.
Several
updates
today
and
I
will
just
start
with
some
of
the
data
and
information
that
we
continue
to
look
at
on
a
regular
basis,
so
nationally
levels
of
influenza
like
illness
and
code
19
like
illness.
The
percentage
of
specimens
testing
positive
for
the
virus
that
causes
coded
19
do
continue
to
decline
or
remain
stable
at
low
levels
and
that's
nationally.
E
Mortality
attributed
to
kovin
19
also
decreased
compared
to
last
week,
but
does
remain
elevated
above
baseline
and
it
may
increase
as
additional
death
certificates
are
processed
in
Indiana.
The
ICU
and
ventilator
capacity
in
the
state
holds
steady
at
good
levels
and
that's
also
true
in
our
local
region.
Testing
has
been
increasing.
You've
heard
us
talk
about
that
week
after
week,
and
we
can
see
that,
while
we're
having
some
increase
in
positive
cases
that
are
testing
in
our
community
is
also
increasing.
E
Today,
when
we
look
at
the
dashboard,
we
can
see
that
we
have
a
total
of
8
185
cases
so
far.
18
deaths
for
four
thousand
five
hundred
and
fifty
seven
tests
have
been
done
in
Monroe
County,
and
that
gives
us
a
four
point.
One
percent
of
those
have
been
positive,
so
the
percentage
of
positives
among
the
tests
it's
being
done,
continues
to
be
low
and
when
we
look
at
the
state
level,
the
state
rate,
as
of
today
was
eleven
point.
Seven
percent
of
the
tests
were
positive
that
were
conducted
so
this
as
a
state.
E
Those
numbers
continue
to
decline,
so
those
are
good
numbers
that
we've
been
seeing
testing
sites
in
Monroe
County
include
IU
Health,
of
course,
the
hospital
Monroe
Hospital
CBS
and
the
optimist
of
site.
That
you've
heard
me
talk
about
frequently
the
optimist
of
site
is
of
mark
or
March,
as
of
June
third
had
tested
over
600
people,
locally,
statewide
they've
done
over
34,000
tests
and
the
positive.
E
E
You
can
do
that
with
the
website
at
this
state
level,
but
directly
it
is
LH,
I,
dot
care,
/
coded
testing
and
the
link
can
also,
as
I
said,
be
found
on
the
ISD
h,
testing
page,
so
if
you're
interested
in
other
sites
or
other
places
you're
looking
for
a
drive
through
site.
All
of
that
is
listed
on
that
map
on
the
State
Department
of
Health's
website
the
there
is
a
current
push
to
ensure
that
all
healthcare
workers,
a
long-term
care
home
health
care
workers,
have
the
opportunity
to
be
tested.
E
There's
a
push
to
get
testing
done
for
everybody
in
that
category
by
July,
some
of
the
lesser
used
Optum
sites
are
becoming
mobile
in
order
to
assist
the
state
in
meeting
that
goal.
As
I
said
before,
we
have
seen
some
new
cases
in
our
community.
However,
we've
also
seen
increased
testing
in
our
community.
So,
given
the
that
the
kovat
19l
'no
tsa's,
the
influenza
like
illness
--is
remain
low,
that
hospital
capacity
remains
steady.
Testing
is
increasing
that
we
have
contact
tracing
available.
E
These
are
all
good
indicators
for
us
to
be
able
to
continue
to
move
forward.
As
we
look
across
the
country,
though,
we
see
some
increased
cases,
and
that
reminds
us
that
slow
and
steady
movement
is
best.
So
that
is
why
we
do
want
to
move
forward,
but
we
are
still
trying
to
take
it
slightly
slower
than
the
state
of
Indiana.
Dr.
Sharpe
did
issue
a
new
Monroe
County
Health
order.
Yesterday
that
does
move
Monroe
County
forward
into
stage
four
with
the
state,
with
only
two
deviations.
E
Since
the
bar
service
area
usually
contains
items
that
could
become
contaminated,
we
have
locally
included
a
requirement
for
seating
or
service
at
the
bar.
These
bar
supplies
must
be
protected
from
possible
contamination
by
a
patron
that
may
be
sitting
at
the
bar,
so
a
bar
may
decide
to
not
use
bar
seating.
E
That
would
be
a
way
to
maintain
that
protection,
or
they
may
simply
put
in
some
other
control
measure
to
protect
those
supplies,
while
local
authorities
may
be
more
stringent
than
the
state
or
the
governor's
order,
we
may
not
be
less
stringent
than
the
state,
so
there
are
things
like
required,
masks
or
food
service
workers
that
are
in
that
state
order.
I
know
people
are
frustrated
by
the
short
notice
on
changes,
and
we
share
that
frustration.
We
do
not
get
any
advance
notice
from
the
state
or
from
the
governor's
office.
E
We
learn
about
those
changes,
the
same
time
that
everybody
else
does
so
it
does
take
us
little
time
to
review
those
details,
finalize
the
next
steps
for
us
and
then
process
those
documents.
So
we
appreciate
everyone's
understanding
in
the
process
so
that
it's
not
an
immediate
turnaround
time.
Some
items
in
the
new
executive
order
that
governor
Holcomb
issued
are
worth
noting
and
I
want
to
just
kind
of
go
over
those
briefly.
E
Again,
face
coverings
are
recommended,
that's
not
a
change.
Hospital
visitations
are
encouraged
with
precautions,
and
we
just
heard
that
the
hospital
is
is
doing
that
professional
office
building
employees
may
resume
work
at
full
capacity.
Retail
stores
and
malls
may
open
at
full
capacity.
Dining
room
foodservice
may
open
to
75%
as
long
as
social
distancing
is
still
observed,
bar
seating
in
restaurants-
we
just
talked
about
that-
is
50%
capacity.
E
Something
that
I
do
want
to
really
focus
on.
Here
is
non-contact
community
recreational
sports,
leagues
or
teams
may
resume
games,
leagues
and
tournaments
on
June
12th
contact,
community,
recreational
sports,
leagues
or
teams,
private
or
public
may
resume
games,
leagues
and
tournaments
on
June
19th
per
the
governor's
order
when
hosting
or
sponsoring
venues
has.
Let
me
back
up
because
I
want
to
say
this
correctly.
E
They
can
do
that
on
the
19th
when
they
have
submitted
to
the
local
health
and
posted
publicly
a
kovat
response
plan
that
includes
precautions
in
place
and
being
taken
to
ensure
overall
protection
of
competitors,
coaches
officials,
staff
and
spectators.
Such
plans
must
be
submitted
72
hours
in
advance
of
the
event
and
social
gathering
limits
must
be
followed
and
that
is
per
the
executive
order
2032.
E
Activities
venues
like
convention
centers
may
open
at
50%
capacity
with
adherence
to
social
distancing
guidelines.
Playgrounds
may
reopen,
but
we
do
encourage
people
to
remember
that
they
need
to
wash
their
hands
that
they
need
to
use
hand
sanitizer
frequently
avoid
eating
on
the
playground.
Those
kinds
of
things
conventions,
fairs,
festivals,
parades
and
similar
events
do
remain
closed.
So
I
just
wanted
to
go
over
some
of
those
things.
While
we're
we're
talking
about
that.
E
Schools
are
planning
to
reopen
and
they're
they're,
putting
lots
of
effort
into
those
plans
and
the
health
department
is
working
with
schools
on
those
plans.
The
Department
of
Education
did
defer
a
lot
to
the
local
health
department,
so
we
will
be
working
together
with
everyone
in
our
community
maintaining
diligence
and
precautions
so
that
we
can
avoid
a
surge
that
requires
future
closures
or
restrictions.
Returning
of
course,
county
offices
will
reopen
by
appointment.
Next
week,
we've
already
begun
in
the
Health
Department
rescheduling
those
appointments.
E
Our
field
staff
will
do
most
consultations
and
meetings
on-site
and
outdoors,
which
they've
been
doing
birth
related
records.
Like
paternity
affidavits
amendments.
Those
will
require
an
appointment
to
be
seen.
Birth
certificates,
death
certificates
are
still
being
handled
by
mail
or
electronically
at
the
moment,
unless
there's
an
extenuating
circumstance
again,
I
would
remind
everyone
if
you
have
missed
your
immunization
or
you
have
a
child
who's
missed
their
routine
immunization.
Recently,
please
schedule
that
appointment
now
and
you
can
do
that
with
your
provider
or
at
the
public
health
clinic.
E
Lastly,
I
would
say
that
anyone
who
is
involved
in
the
protest
or
rally
or
any
other
large
gathering,
especially
when
social
distancing
isn't
maintained,
face
coverings,
aren't
used.
It's
encouraged
to
monitor
for
coded,
like
symptoms
and
get
tested
at
the
first
sign
of
any
symptoms
or
after
for
5
days
on
6:15.
E
The
optimist
I'ts
will
no
longer
have
any
restrictions
on
testing,
so
you
will
still
need
to
make
an
appointment,
but
you
will
not
need
to
have
symptoms
or
fall
into
any
special
category
so
again
with
with
that,
we
would
just
encourage
people
to
all
continue
to
practice
social
distancing
where
those
face
coverings
so
that
we
can
limit
our
exposure.
If
you
do
feel
like
you
may
have
been
exposed,
you
have
any
symptoms,
stay
away
from
others,
but
do
arrange
for
testing
at
one
of
our
local
testing
sites.
Thank
you
all.
F
All
right,
good
afternoon
yesterday,
Indiana
University
announced
our
return
to
campus
plan
for
Bloomington
and
really
for
all
eight
campuses
and
I've
pasted.
A
link
to
this
plan
in
the
group
chat
I'll
go
through
some
of
the
the
main
points,
because
it
outlines
that
the
timeline
and
the
phases
of
reopening
and
return
to
the
campus.
F
F
Our
transportation
system,
buses,
that
sort
of
thing
and
and
travel
business
travel,
particularly
at
this
point,
is
severely
restricted
to
both
in-state
and
and,
of
course,
out-of-state
before
the
timeline
in
the
phases
the
campus
technically
now
is.
We
went
really
close
the
campus,
but
it's
it's
heavily
restricted
right
now,
but
as
of
1
July,
the
campus
will
be
open
with
limited
access
in
some
buildings
in
1
August,
the
campus
will
be
open
and
most
buildings
will
be
unlocked.
F
Back
to
1
July,
some
employees
will
be
called
back
as
needed
by
the
1st
of
July
student
facing
services
will
be
called
back.
Those
employees
will
be
back
at
work,
but
in
general
terms,
if
our
employees
can
work
remotely
and
still
accomplish
their
missions,
then
we
expect
them
to
limit
visits
to
the
campus
in
order
to
limit
the
overall
exposure
levels.
F
F
As
of
the
1st
of
August
up
till
the
1st
of
August,
it
will
be
outdoor
visits
only
and
on
the
19th
of
August,
then,
as
our
scheduled
move-in
for
the
residence
halls,
and
at
this
point,
as
of
the
1st
of
August,
recreational
facilities
will
be
allowed
as
long
as
their
activities
are
with
in
accordance
with
public
health
guidance.
So
that's
the
general
overview
of
our
phased
return
that
runs
into
next
semester
and,
as
I
say,
I
put
the
link
to
that
on
the
on
the
chat,
so
that
you
can
take
a
look.
Thank
you.
B
G
G
Would
like
to
announce
that
we
do
still
have
the
June
23rd
blood
drive.
There
are
still
spots
available.
Thirty
around
it
right
before
I
right
before
the
press
call
I
checked,
there
were
around
30
slots
still
available.
You
can
register
at
the
red
cross.org
website
that
information
is
also
on
the
county
website,
with
directions
on
how
to
register.
G
They
are
giving
a
$5
Amazon
gift
card
for
those
that
do
in
fact
register
and
show
up
to
donate.
So
that's
an
exciting
incentive,
as
well
as
anyone
that
does
make
a
donation.
The
Red
Cross
just
announced
that
they
are
screening,
those
for
through
the
antibodies
testing
fork,
Ovid
19,
just
as
an
added
bonus
to
those
that
are
making
that
donation.
G
So
a
couple
different
incentives
for
those
people
that
are
willing
to
go
to
that
June
23rd
blood
drive,
it
is
being
sponsored
by
the
Board
of
Commissioners
and
it
is
anyone
can
can
register
and
make
the
donation.
We
do
have
a
huge
storage
of
blood
in
our
area,
and
so
we
are
encouraging
those
that
can
to
go
to
the
website,
make
an
appointment
and
then,
of
course
make
that
donation
to
help
those
in
our
community
and
that's
all
I
have
Chuck.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
I
always
follow
the
list
directly
and
somehow
I
skipped
your
name.
This
is
my
fear.
Every
week
when
we
do
this,
so
we
do
have
some
questions
that
are
coming
in
so,
first
of
all,
from
Dave
at
the
be
square
beacon
for
Penny
Caudill.
What's
an
example
of
the
kind
of
bar
supplies
that
will
have
to
be
protected
from
contamination?
Is
this
olives
and
maraschino
cherries
or
napkins
and
straw.
E
Thanks
for
that
question
Dave
it
is,
it
will
depend
a
lot
on
the
bar
on
the
bar
itself.
It
would
be
all
of
those
things,
so
a
lot
of
bars
they've
got
their
bar
where
their
glasses,
they
may
have
the
garnishes
and
those
kinds
of
things,
and
they
can
provide
that
barrier
that
space.
That
protection
in
many
different
ways
it
could
be
physical
barrier
could
be
by
space
that
they
move
those
things
they
redirect
them.
They
cover
in
some
manner.
B
G
B
A
A
That's
a
multi
month
process
that
leads
to
August
presentation
to
City,
Council
and
typically
adoption
within
a
couple
months.
After
that
there
is
a
lot
of
uncertainty.
This
year,
we've
already
seen
major
reductions
in
revenue
in
a
couple
categories:
the
death
of
the
gas
tax,
which
comes
monthly
and
the
food
and
beverage
tax,
which
also
comes
monthly
of
both
showing
dramatic
reductions
because
of
the
changing
economy
and
ways
of
life.
We
are
definitely
watching
for
property
tax
and
income
tax
effects
as
well.
A
Those
will
be
much
more
measured
and
kind
of
scattered
over
the
future
years,
but
they're
making
us
be
very
attentive
to
the
budget
needs
and
we'll
be
talking
a
lot
about
that
in
August.
I'll
probably
be
given
a
major
speech
about
it
in
a
few
weeks
too,
if
you
want
to
stay
tuned
to
that,
but
send
your
ideas
bring
them
on
in.
We
welcome
them.
Thank
you.
B
Okay
from
Ethan
Burke's,
wfiu
wtiu
again
for
mayor
Hamilton,
the
main
request
coming
from
the
protesters
last
week
and
ongoing
is
to
defund
the
police.
Do
you
think,
there's
an
opportunity
to
re-examine
what
Bloomington
is
spending
on
police
staffing
and
equipment
and
see
where
it
could
be
more
effectively
used?
Is
the
city
willing
to
open
a
dialogue
with
protesters
on
this
and
there's
another
part
to
that
I'll
get
to
in
just
a
moment?
Okay,.
A
Well,
absolutely
these
are,
of
course,
powerful
times
to
re-examine
all
of
our
public
safety
efforts
here
locally
across
the
country.
The
protests,
the
activism
the
engagement
is,
is
very
serious,
very
understandable,
trying
to
make
sure
we're
continuing
to
address
the
legacies
and
the
current
impacts
of
racism
in
our
community
as
well
as
our
country.
Absolutely
we
are
looking
at
all
the
activities
as
well
as
budget
priorities,
in
addition
to
the
pressures
from
the
economic
slowdown.
A
Where
we'll
be
looking
at
how
we
can
be
most
effective
in
protecting
Public
Safety
again,
I'd
encourage
people
to
come
if
they're
interested
to
the
Tuesday
Board
of
Public
Safety
meeting
at
5:00
it'll
be
a
virtual
meeting.
I
think
there
may
be
a
City
Council
meeting
as
well.
They
have
a
Standing
Committee
on
Public
Safety,
that's
been
created
that
may
hold
a
meeting
this
coming
week
as
well
to
consider
all
kinds
of
ideas.
A
I'll
just
mention
in
2016,
the
city
undertook
a
very
extensive
review
of
police
procedures
following
the
21st
century,
policing
report
that
the
Obama
administration
promulgated
after
the
Ferguson
Missouri
activities
and
results,
and
we
went
through
all
80
plus
recommendations
at
that
time.
With
a
lot
of
extensive
public
review
adopted
all
about
one
which
we
still
have
not
adopted,
which
was
a
recommendation
for
taser
use,
which
we
do
not
have
in
the
city
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
There's
also
a
little
website
called
it
can't
wait.
That's
focusing
on
eight
key
protocols,
important
to
Public
Safety.
A
We
will
be
reviewing
that
again.
We've
been
very
active
in
that
and
seven
out
of
those
eight
are
already
in
place
in
Bloomington
and
have
been,
but
it's
always
good
to
review
them.
Reconsider
them
and
I
look
forward
to
that,
as
well
as
the
priorities,
the
kind
of
priorities
in
a
police
budget
that
have
adjusted
to
time-
and
you
know
when
we
hired
a
social
worker
and
to
neighborhood
resource
specialists
in
the
last
budget
cycle,
we're
going
to
continue
to
look
at
the
best
ways
to
protect
public
safety.
B
You
have
that
hundred
thousand
dollar
idea.
The
mayor's
office
email
is
mayor
at
Bloomington,
ing,
o
V
phone
number,
eight
one,
two,
three,
four:
nine:
three:
four:
zero
six,
another
question
from
Ethan
Burke's
for
you.
Mr.
mayor
yesterday,
the
city
terminated
its
contract
with
Ken's
Westside,
towing
and
service.
After
one
of
its
employees
posted
a
racist
video
on
social
media.
Can
you
talk
about
what
went
into
that
decision?.
A
Yes,
I
think
what
I
can
say
about
that
is.
You
know
we
expect
all
of
our
contractual
relationships
to
work
with
the
city
work
well
with
the
city
that
contract
provision
allowed
us
to
exit
the
contract
within
a
seven
day
notice
period,
which
is
what
we
executed
yesterday.
We
thought
that
was
the
right
thing
for
our
community
to
do
and
we'll
continue
to
to
take
steps
as
appropriate
for
that.
Okay.
B
E
Schools
have
guidance
from
the
CDC
and
the
Department
of
Education
and
that's
where
their
primary
focus
is
and
the
guidance
is
laid
out.
Each
school
will
be
different.
Obviously
they
have
to
look
at
options
for
how
they
can
provide
instruction
to
their
students
and
it
has
to
be
flexible
because
we
don't
know
what
will
happen.
This
fall
late
summer
next
winter,
so
they
really
have
a
very
complex
job
to
do
in
terms
of
planning.
E
All
of
the
schools
are
in
the
midst
of
doing
that
now
in
terms
of
MCC
SC,
we've
joined
their
work
team
on
that
they've
asked
us
to
be
on
that.
We
are
in
communication
with
other
schools
participating
in
some
of
their
planning
meetings
and
workgroups,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
schools
in
this
community.
So
we've
got.
You
know
a
couple
large
school
corporations,
but
we
also
have
other
small
schools,
so
we
want
to
be
able
to
help
all
of
them
to
the
best
that
we
can.
E
The
local
health
department
isn't
approving
any
plans,
so
they
will
develop
their
plans
based
on
the
guidance
from
the
Department
of
Education
and
using
CDC
guidelines
in
any
state
guidelines.
The
State
Health
Department
and
the
do-e
is
working
they're
working
very
closely
on
that
guidance
so
that
everything
can
be
met
and
those
there.
The
guidance
is
also
kind
of
living
and
very
fluid.
So
as
information
changes,
it's
going
to
change
and
that's
why
the
schools
have
to
be
very
adaptable,
as
we
all
do
in
this
pandemic,
so
we're
working
with
each
each
one
of
them.
E
We
are
planning
to
have
kind
of
a
try
to
bring
everybody
together
for
at
least
one
discussion
so
that
if
they
have
questions
of
us
that
are
all
the
same,
we
can
try
to
work
through
that
and
provide
some
answers.
But
for
the
most
part
the
Health
Department
will
be
involved
if
they're
they
need
to
close
for
a
period
of
time
determining
how
long
they
need
to
close
those
kinds
of
things
and
that
will
be
in
their
plan.
But
it
will
also
be
a
case-by-case
situation
to
some
extent.
E
B
A
Well,
thanks:
you
know
this.
This
does
get
into
the
legal
world
of
the
care
with
which
a
government
needs
to
take
in
terms
of
dealing
with
First,
Amendment
rights
and
others.
That
certainly
been
a
big
issue,
as
people
know
in
the
in
the
farmers
market
depends
on
the
specifics
of
contracts.
It
depends
upon
the
specifics
of
actions
and
there
is
litigation
going
on
and
some
of
that
so
I
probably
need
to
be
careful.
A
But
absolutely
we
continue
to
focus
in
all
of
our
relationships
to
make
sure
that
we
do
both
protecting
as
far
as
possible
the
community's
values
in
all
that
we
do,
but
also
reflecting
the
rights
of
individuals
to
hold
viewpoints.
That
may
or
may
not
be
something
that
most
of
us
agree
with,
and
they
can
be
complicated
out.
I'll
confess
that
right
up
front,
but
we
try
to
follow
the
guidance
of
our
lawyers
and
take
the
right
steps
that
we
think
we
can
we'll
continue
to
do.
That.
I
will
just
add,
look
the
you
know.
A
The
we've
talked
about
the
the
rally
and
the
march
and
the
intensity
of
feelings,
as
many
of
us
have
found
the
the
personal
offensiveness
of
watching
videos
and
knowing
that
that
represents
just
a
tip
of
the
iceberg
of
racial
conflict
that
remains
abuses
that
remain.
We
are
going
to
be
working
very
hard
together
as
a
community
to
keep
finding
ways
to
improve
our
community
and
its
justice
and
fairness
and
racial
equity.
A
I
was
really
proud
of
the
way
Bloomington
stood
up
last
Friday
a
week
ago
for
those
values
and
represented
them
very
well,
even
with
a
fully
masked
March
and
advocacy
as
well
as
peaceful
and
seeing
our
our
community
was
with.
We
had,
we've
had
a
knock
on
wood,
virtually
no
vandalism,
as
people
have
focused
on
making
things
better,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
on
that
and
I'm
really
proud
of
our
community's
energy
about
it
and
focus
on
it.
And
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
together
on
thanks.
Okay,.
B
We
we
did
start
five
minutes
later
this
week,
so
I
will
vamp
for
just
a
moment
here.
If
there
are
other
questions
that
you
do
want
to
submit,
but
next
week
we
do
intend
to
start
at
the
normal
115
time
and
we
will
send
out
that
information
next
Friday
morning
going
once
and
twice
if
I
don't
see
any
other
questions,
we
will
end
it
there.
Unless
penny,
you
have
something
to
add.
Well,.
E
I
think
I
saw
another
question
about
voting
and
so
I'll
I'll
take
that
if,
if
that's
okay,
we
did,
we
did
communicate
early
on
with
our
clerk's
office
about
how
they
could
handle
voting
and
and
make
voting
as
safe
as
possible
for
individuals.
Obviously,
there's
federal
and
state
guidelines
and
and
direction
about
how
they
do
that
as
well,
but
they
did
communicate
with
us.
