This

which
are
presentations,
our.
A
Lake
monroe
and
she's
here
to
discuss
grant
recommendations
by
the
ec
for
friends
of.
A
K
Okay,
sorry
thanks
so
much
for
having
me
and
I
have
to
share
that.
I
am
also
retired
and.
K
Also,
a
former
student
at
spia,
I
did
my
master's
and
my
doctorate
at
stia.
K
From
spia
all
over
the
community
doing
good
work,
let's
see
I
need
to
share
my
screen.
K
A
I
I
apologize
for
that
and
no
no
prob
at
all.
I
will
I
might
need
some
direction
on
how
to.
A
Real
quick
sam,
you
can
click
on
like
the
three
dots
in
the
top
right
corner
of
my.
K
K
Planning
and
water
quality
protection
for
the
lake.
Let's
see,
I
guess
I
need
to
minimize.
K
That
or
you
will
see
all
that,
okay,
so
a
quick
update
on
the
watershed
management
plan.
This
was
a.
K
K
K
We
are
yeah
and
then
we
have
to
once.
We've
looked
at
that
data.
K
Then
we
need
to
estimate
how
many
tons
of
sediment
would
be
not
be
entering
the
lake.
K
K
K
K
Of
september
of
2021.,
so
that
is
a
little
earlier
than
we
would
like.
But
because
there's.
K
K
Include
work
with
the
sycamore
land
trust
we've
been
having
discussions
with
them
about
the
amy.
K
K
And
so
they
have
put
in
and
received
funding,
I
believe
for
a
feasibility
study
to
help
design
a.
K
Also,
and
this
one
is
very
exciting
to
me-
the
indiana
department
of
natural
resources.
K
K
K
Project
would,
I
think,
is
one
that
was
the
national
conservation,
nrcs
national
resource.
K
K
K
K
K
K
K
K
K
That
deserves
local
funding,
we're
I'm
looking
for
a
cash
match,
because
I
think
it
really.
K
K
Is
that
sustainability
of
our
organization
and
the
effort
to
keep
monroe
lake
as
clean
as
we
can.
K
To
lake
monroe,
so
if
somebody
wants
to
know
about
what
are
the
rules
about,
you
know.
K
This
watershed
coordinator
is
the
person
who
knows
so
the
longer
that.
K
It's
also
very
hard
to
get
a
long-term
or
full-time
commitment
from
watershed.
Coordinators.
K
Projects
that
would
we
we
would
be
implementing,
definitely
requires
a
watershed.
Coordinator.
K
So
I'm
proposing
to
you
that
we
fund
the
watershed
coordinator
during
this
gap.
D
Support
the
idea
of
the
city
spending
this
money
to
support
the
work
they're
doing.
A
So
anyone
else
have
anything
they
want
to
jump
in
an
ad.
Take
a
bite
at
the
apple.
I
Detail
change
slightly
between
what
maggie
is
doing
now
and
when
there's
like
a
fully
funded.
K
K
K
Contacts
getting
to
know
the
you
know:
different
soil,
water
conservation,
district.
K
Players,
the
forest
service,
you
know
all
of
the
different
people
collecting
data
she's.
K
D
For
forestry
and
several
other
groups
of
people
and
then
the
idea
will
be
to
work
with.
B
Yes,
so
sherry
specifically
for
the
environmental
commission,
do
you
want.
B
Since
we
can't
really
give
you
a
cash
match,
do
you
want
us
to
write
a
letter
to
someone.
B
A
support
letter-
yes,
I
I
guess
what
I
would
be
looking
for
is
first
a
a
letter
to
the
mayor.
B
I'm
pretty
sure
we
provided
one
of
those
last
time.
Yes,
you
did
and
I
think
the
letter
should.
D
A
I'm
not
seeing
any
hands
raised
I'll,
just
jump
in
sherry
to
thank
you
again
for
coming.
A
This
evening,
when,
when
would
you
like
these
letters
by,
would
you
like
the
since
you're
meeting.
A
A
On
behalf
of
whatever
vote
occurs
later,
this
meeting
to
support
your
organization's
goals.
A
A
At
it,
okay,
should
the
commission
pass?
You
know
the
the
motion,
but
I
anticipate
we
will.
A
Of
the
meeting
or
if
you
have
to
go,
that's
perfectly
fine
as
well
yeah,
I
do
have
to
go.
I.
K
Look
at
what
we've
been
doing
maggie
gave
a
presentation.
She
wasn't
able
to
be
here
tonight.
K
K
Had
a
brief
summary
of
that,
so
thank
you
very
much
and
I
hope
we'll
have
a
good
letter
coming.
A
A
L
Okay,
thank
you
andrew.
As
you
mentioned,
my
name
is
lauren
travis.
I
serve
as
the
assistant
director.
L
And
I'll
discuss
a
little
bit
more
later
about
why
that
is.
But
this
is
a
presentation
that.
L
Plan
is
accepted
in
its
entirety,
but
it
doesn't
obligate
the
city
to
enact
any
of
the
specific.
L
L
L
So,
just
for
a
quick
background,
this
is
on
the
tails
of
a
lot
of
leadership.
That's
happened.
L
L
L
L
Is
to
reduce
emissions
25
below
where
they
were
in
2018
and
to
become
carbon
neutral
by
2050.
So.
L
L
L
L
L
L
L
L
Little
bit
into
each
of
those,
but
you're
also
welcome
to
follow
up
with
questions
afterwards.
L
This
plan
is
accepted
it's
on
the
website,
but
in
order
to
sort
of
navigate
it
you
can.
L
L
L
And
then
the
actions
are
there's
many
actions
within
the
plan,
but
one
of
them,
for
instance,
would.
L
L
L
L
L
L
So
there's
five
main
goals
in
energy
and
built
environment.
I
won't
read
them
too.
L
L
L
L
L
Shared
transit
so
another
is
to
increase
electric
vehicle
adoption.
If
vehicles
are.
L
L
L
L
L
L
L
L
Consider
composting
at
home
so
we're
looking
to
encourage
the
organic
diversion
by
looking.
L
L
And
then,
just
briefly
since
this
is
a
small
proportion
of
our
missions,
it's.
L
L
More
climate
friendly
workforce
opportunities,
and
that
is
in
a
variety
of
sectors
as
well.
L
L
L
L
Other
cities,
like
fort
collins,
have
engagement
platforms
and
they'll.
Do
initiatives
that
try
to.
L
L
A
L
L
A
I'm
not
seeing
any
thank
you
lauren
for
the
opportunity
to
learn
more
about
the
climate.
A
Incorporated
to
the
final
draft,
so
we
appreciate
your
attentiveness
there
and
we
look
forward.
A
To
continuing
to
work
with
you
and
the
department
on
making
bloomington
community
for
the
future.
L
Yeah
and
if
you
ever
want
to
come
and
present
to
the
sustainability
commission.
A
Commissions,
I
know
we
had
the
urban
forester's
report
sent
to
us
via
email,
but
was
there.
A
Additional
reports
from
tree
commission
this
evening
we
had
a
very
short
meeting
yesterday.
D
Morning,
I
guess
the
main
thing
that
happened
is
a
longtime
member
david
dilcher
has.
D
D
A
A
This
month
and
then
they're
talking
about
a
monroe
county,
hoosier
resilience
index
update.
M
Connection
issues
with
tonight's
meeting,
so
it's
been
a
little
a
little
bit
rattled.
M
M
Annexation
is
back,
of
course,
and
it's
been
in
the.
M
Paper
some
discussion
about
the
things
that
the
city's
going
to
have
to
expand
services
and.
M
To
if
annexation
goes
forward,
christie
lindberg
and
angela
von
der
von
roy
spoke.
M
About
their
mitigation
efforts
and
their
groups
then
got
into
discussions
about
or.
M
Transitional
housing
and
housing
equity-
and
I
guess
one
of
the
things
that
kind
of
struck
me
was.
M
That
one
of
the
statistics
they
brought
up
was
the
increase
in
the
poverty
rate
within
burlington.
E
Yeah,
we
can
still
hear
you,
okay,
it
looks
like.
M
I've
lost
it
again
there
for
a
second,
with
my
connection
to
the
meeting.
M
So
you
know
again,
there
were
basically
discussions
of.
D
A
Which
month
it
was
whether
it's
this
month
or
last
month,
so
thank
you,
dave
moving
on
then
to
the.
A
A
Had
a
pretty
full
agenda,
they
heard
reports
from
mpo
staff
on
the
2022-2026
transportation.
A
A
From
that
passage
of
that
bill,
then
they're
talking
about
the
2022
2024
tip
amendments.
A
They're,
adding
in
bus
stops
at
two
locations
for
bloomington,
transit
or
they're.
Looking
at.
A
A
D
Meeting
again,
I
think
next
week,
but
sherry
gave
us
an
excellent
description
of
where
things
are
at.
D
M
I'm
sorry
about
that
kind
of
a
continuation
of
the
previous
month's
meeting
discussion
of.
A
Did
we
lose
don?
I
think
we
lost
don
for
a
moment,
let's
move
on
and
then,
if.
A
Pardon
we
lost
you
for
a
minute
don.
We
lost
your
connection,
but.
A
Okay,
don,
if
you
can
hear
me,
I
think
your
connection
is
a
little
too
bad
at
the
moment.
A
For
the
audio
to
come
through,
if
you'd
like
to
send
a
summary
of
the
mciris
report
to
us.
A
We'll
move
on
to
our
working
group
discussion
our
active
working.
B
B
Latimer
square
at
the
kmart
site
we
talked
about
that
last
month
and
they
have
not
given
any.
B
Being
on
the
agenda
or
if
they'll
be
continued
again,
which
would
be
of
their
own
choosing,.
B
And
the
plan
is
to
demolish
all
of
those
for
for
one
multi-family
building
that'll
be.
B
It's
let's
see
here,
it'll
be
first
for
students.
Sorry,
I'm
getting
tongue
tied
here.
B
There
will
be
235
units
with
653
bedrooms
and
each
of
the
three.
B
Looks
into
it
in
detail,
there's
no
green
building
practices
proposed.
B
I'm
sure
that
the
ecpc
will
want
to
recommend
the
construction
demolition
salvage.
I
don't
know.
B
Have
to
address
that
and
then
the
the
last
one
is
excuse
me:
tyler,
curry,
on
pete
ellis
drive.
B
But
now
they
want
to
make
some
a
few
changes
to
the
district
ordinance,
since
this
is
a
pud.
B
This
is
on
a
little
over
three
acres
and
I'm
sorry
it's
this.
B
The
pollen
is
getting
to
my
throat
I'd
like
to
blame
it
on
the
cicadas,
so.
B
This
change
is
not
very
large.
They
plan
to
wrap
the
part
hoe
parking
garage.
B
With
units
now
and
that
will
make
give
them
the
opportunity
to
make
a
larger
courtyard
and.
B
They
are
planning
to
do
a
cool
roof
so
that
oh
another
thing
they
are
planning
to.
B
B
To
have
a
health
healthy
building
so
anyway,
pardon
me
for
my.
B
Spring
allergy
voice
here,
but
that's
all
I've
got
for
right
now.
A
Oh
sorry,
ben
linda,
I
have
actually
two
questions.
The
first
one
is
what
is.
J
A
green
wall-
oh
glad,
you
asked
it
is
a
wall
of
a
building
that
has
a
a
system
of.
B
One
kind
or
another
whereby
plants
can
grow
in
that
system
that
hangs
on
the
wall.
J
Cool
and
then
my
next
question
is:
is
this
human
certification
building.
B
B
Get
raided
by
a
third
party
trained
person
and,
depending
on
that
score,
they
can
have.
B
Judged
on
several
different
sectors
like
walkability
is
it
that
will
have.
B
Low
vocs
in
the
paint-
and
you
know
carpet
that
doesn't
emit
vocs
and.
B
And
will
they
have
access
to
exercise
and
will
there
be
plenty
of
natural
light.
B
They
intend
for
their
audience
to
be
workers
from
the
new
hospital.
A
G
Over
last
meeting
and
that's,
we
have
a
proposed
event
going
forward
where
we're
going
to
speak
on.
G
The
or
where
we'd
like
to
have
the
topic
be
the
future
of
bloomington
in
context.
You
know.
G
Here
in
our
local
community
and
in
our
last
meeting,
we
got
a
lot
done
in
terms
of
you
know.
G
We
decided
we
wanted
to
have
like
a
panel-esque
event
open
to
the
public
in
person,
but
also.
G
Variety
of
subjects
covering
you
know,
the
topic
of
you
know
where
we
are
going
forward.
G
And
regarding
this
to
determine
who
the
speakers
might
be,
we
actually
wanted
to.
G
Have
members
of
the
commission
submit
the
names
of
speakers
and
a
reasoning,
bio
for
why
they
think.
G
G
You
know
if
maybe
we
should
reconsider
one
for
the
sake
of
having
a
more
diverse.
You
know
more.
G
Just
more
diverse
yeah
different
discussion
there
and
we
haven't,
got
a
specific
date.
G
G
G
On
the
subject
matter,
and
in
that
time,
when
it's
done,
then
we
can
get
to
the
voting
and.
A
All
right
again,
just
encouraging
everyone
to
think
of
potential
speakers
that
they
know
of.
A
A
G
A
I
am
technically
the
organizer
for
biodiversity.
I
wasn't
able
to
make
the
last
meeting.
A
If
I,
if
I
miss
anything
in
my
update,
let
me
just
pull
up
my
notes
right
here.
A
A
Community
that
they
hope
will
help
us
distribute
the
plan
and
their
meetings
will
occur
if.
A
Anyone's
interested
in
joining
at
any
point
in
time,
every
sunday
every
other
sunday
at
7
p.m,.
A
Does
anyone
have
any
questions
or
ben?
Did
I
missed
anything
on
that.
J
A
A
A
A
So
there's
no
objection
to
move
on
to
new
business
and
I
believe,
if
there's
no
objection
from
the.
A
D
The
city
council
recommending
that
they
support
the
coordinator
as
sherry
mentioned,
and.
D
D
From
sherry,
probably
so,
yes,
so
there's
a
motion
on
the
floor
is
there
a
second
second.
A
Is
there
any
debate
or
discussion
before
I
move
on
to
the
calling
the
question.
A
All
right
so
before
we
go
to
the
question
I'll
just
say
I'll
work
with
sherry
on.
A
Be
any
controversy
about
what's
included
in
the
letter,
so
it's
been
moved
and
seconded.
A
If
there's
no
objection
move
on
to
the
question,
starting
with
sam
armstrong,
yay
matt,
yes
don.
E
Yes,
dave
yes,
cory,
yes,
andy!
Yes,
excellent
motion
passes
unanimously
I'll
get
that
letter
sent
to.
A
Sherry
I'll
work
on
it
tonight
slash
tomorrow
and
then
I'll
send
it
to
sherry
for
her
review
and.
A
H
I
was
actually
curious.
I
was
just
going
to
ask
if
and
maybe
I
should
have.
A
Linda,
do
you
want
to
tackle
that?
I
know
you
and
I
had
briefly
touched
on
becky
at
some
point
sure.
B
B
B
Reading
the
old
one
and
thinking
about
possibly
changing
formats
and
looking
in
he's
made
a
big.
B
Long
list
of
things
that
need
to
be
updated
ben,
why
don't
you
hop
in
here?
It's
it's.
B
It's
your
baby
here,
so
you
should
be
talking
about
it,
not
me
yeah!
So
so
far
I've
gone
over.
J
Three
of
the
sections-
I
think
it's
the
land
areas,
energy
and
the
population
section
and
I've.
J
Kind
of
just
like
underlined
all
the
information
that
needs
to
be
updated
and
I've
made
some.
J
So
that
should
be
up
to
date.
I
just
need,
I
think,
the
new
information
that
I
would.
J
J
J
J
Find
facts
quickly,
I
would
think-
and
I
think
a
change
in
format
might
be
necessary.
J
Maybe
everyone
wants
to
take
a
look
at
what
the
becky
is
now
I've
made
like
a
rough
outline
of.
J
A
new
version
of
it
would
look
like
for
just
the
land
areas
section
of
just
like
a.
J
And
see
oh
they're
talking
about
hoosier
national
forest
in
the
in
this
section,
so
I.
J
Can
just
go
like
right
there
to
that
page
number
versus
in
the
old
becky?
It's
not
labeled,
where.
J
A
J
Indicators,
let
me
see
one
thing
that
might
be
helpful
ben
is
if
it's
not
too
much
work
to
clip.
A
The
land
use
section,
for
example,
and
then
clip
your
proposed,
updated
format
that
you.
A
Have
outlined
and
just
send
it
to
us
so
that
we
can
just
look
and
see
what
you're
thinking
versus.
A
What's
already
been
done
and
then,
if
anyone
has
any
suggestions
they
can
pop
in
with
those.
A
Try
to
get
some
commu
some
commission
feedback
on
that
format.
Just
at
the
beginning
of
the.
A
J
Just
updating
the
information
of
or
just
getting,
the
information
like
put
aside.
J
A
Stage
anything
else
on
the
becky
before
we
move
forward
to
commissioner
announcements.
A
A
In
town
as
a
private
citizen,
not
as
chair
but
as
a
private
citizen
urging
them
to
consider.
A
However,
other
developments,
such
as
student
housing
developments,
for
example,
have
to
provide.
A
Student
housing
specifically,
this
would
eliminate
that
requirement,
so
it
would
enable.
A
A
Which
slows
down
traffic
so
there's
a
ton
of
benefits
I
got
to
get
into
for
hours
about
it.
It's.
A
A
really
interesting
topic
to
me,
but
I
will
be
presenting
to
the
parking
commission,
urge
them
to.
A
A
Thank
you
to
ben
for
all
the
work
he's
done
reaching
out
to
eco
heroes.
Funders,
it's
a
big.
