A
Hi
this
is
Mayor
John
Hamilton,
it's
Monday,
June
22nd
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
public
update
on
a
few
items,
those
related
particularly
to
kovat
in
the
coronavirus,
we're
in
stage
4
with
a
couple
adjustments
we're
waiting
to
see
how
that
goes.
A
bunch
of
prevalence
testing
was
completed.
Reporting
is
coming
out
on
that.
That
indicates
relatively
good
numbers.
It
appears
for
Indiana,
though
I
have
to
say,
I
feel
a
little
bit
like
somebody
in
good
weather
who's
got
the
weather
person
telling
them.
A
Storms
are
coming
I'm
still
very
concerned
about
changes
as
we
as
we
welcome
thousands
tens
of
thousands
of
people
from
around
the
country
and
the
world
back
to
our
community.
So
we're
working
very
closely
do
think
about
with
Health
Department,
with
Indiana
University
with
the
state
to
think
about.
How
do
we
manage
that
safely
for
everybody
so
stay
tuned
to
that,
but
so
far
indicators
are.
We
continue
to
see
relatively
good
data
in
terms
of
the
impact
of
the
corona
virus
locally,
but
we
need
to
keep
watching
that
a
couple.
A
Other
things
may
be
of
interest
this
week.
There's
a
Parks
Board
meeting
on
Tuesday
at
4:00
and
there's
a
Public
Safety
Board
meeting
that
same
day,
Tuesday
at
6:00.
Those
are
both
dealing
with
important
issues,
parks
relating
to
many
things
about
parks,
including
the
farmers
market
and
the
evolution
of
activities
there.
The
response
to
the
broadening
inclusion
report
and
others
and,
of
course,
Public
Safety,
dealing
with
many
issues
of
questions
and
questions
about
Public,
Safety
I.
A
Let
me
say,
I'm
I'm,
very
proud
of
the
leadership
of
both
those
departments
and
the
people
who
work
in
those
departments,
I
think
they're
on
whole
outstanding
public
servants
who
serve
our
community
very
well.
Certainly,
it's
appropriate
to
ask
questions
and
pursue
improvements
in
in
all
that.
We
do,
including
in
particular,
these
days
with
a
great
concern
about
racial
impact
of
Public
Safety
and,
as
we
know
in
our
particular
circumstance
here
with
the
farmers
market.
A
I
do
want
to
just
make
a
note
that
these
is
these
discussions
about
race,
the
continuing
impact
of
the
racist
history
of
the
United
States
and
our
community.
The
the
exploration
of
how
do
we
improve
be
a
more
inclusive,
more
welcoming
community,
where
everyone
belongs
and
is
treated
appropriately.
Those
are
really
hard
conversations,
sometimes
I.
A
All
of
us,
I,
certainly
included
I,
think
it's
really
important
that
we
have
safe
space
for
those
conversations
for
the
challenging
conversations.
The
hard
conversations
without
attacking
individuals
who,
while
being
of
basic
goodwill,
may
not
be
as
articulate
about
how
we
can
talk
about
it
and
hearing
issues.
We
need
to
listen
a
lot
to
our
all
of
our
residents
and
particularly
including
residents,
people
of
color
and
others
who
have
felt
that
the
system
is
not
working
for
them.
A
We
need
to
listen
a
lot,
but
also
recognize
that
these
conversations
can
be
hard
and
awkward
and
be
people
of
goodwill
to
know
that
we
want
to
move
forward
together,
as
we
do
that,
and
that's
certainly
going
to
be
the
case.
I
think
that
we'll
need
to
have
that
understanding
that
listening
in
regard
to
the
parks
department
and
the
police
department
I
look
forward
to
that.
A
Just
a
couple.
Other
quick
updates,
I
hope.
Maybe
you
enjoyed
the
Kirkwood
closing
of
two
blocks
over
the
weekend
as
a
pilot.
Please
let
us
know
what
you
think
of
that.
A
couple
other
big
projects
got
a
lot
of
public
input
and
the
reuse
of
the
hospital
property.
Take
a
look.
There's
a
website,
Bloomington
Hospital
site.com,
where
we
welcome
your
input
as
well.
A
The
seven-line
project,
a
new
major
Bicentennial
gift
of
a
new
trail
running
by
a
separated
bicycle
trail
on
7th
Street
from
the
B
line,
all
the
way
to
IU
campus,
a
lot
of
public
input
on
that
and,
while
I'm
at
it
I
might
as
well
mention
the
Cascades
lower
cascades
pilot
project
trail
is
open.
I
hope
the
public
will
engage
in
those
processes.
Those
get
feedback
tell
us
how
you
think
our
community
is
doing
and
should
do
better.
These
are
challenging
times.
There
are
a
lot
of
items
to
address
city
workers
are
working
really
hard.
A
I
know
our
community
cares
a
lot
about
these,
so
please
be
engaged
as
positive,
constructive,
dynamic,
passionate
advocates
as
we
are
to
help
our
city
keep
getting
better
with
respect
for
each
other
with
respect
for
all
of
us,
particularly
as
we
know
with
with
race
issues
these
days
with
respect
to
people
of
color
and
listening
to
learn
how
we
become
a
better
city,
we
have
ways
to
go
and
I
look
forward
to
working
on
all
that
with
you
thanks.
A
lot
have
a
good
week.
