Excellent
that

on
to

Are
there
any
members

A
A
On
to
reports,
starting
with
the

on
the
tree
commission.
I
Be
meeting
next
week,
it's
just
a
fluke
we
meet
on
the
third
wednesday
of
the
month.
G
Several
times
this
year,
actually
that
the
first
day
of
the
month
is
a
thursday,
so
yeah.
I
So
one
of
the
things
that
is
going
to
be
on
the
agenda
is
there's
a
group
as
something.
I
I
I
The
brief
sketch
of
information
that
that
we
saw
is
that
they're
all
about
planting
trees.
I
A
Awesome,
let's
see
next
would
be
monroe
county.
You
see
that
is
that
usually
andrew.
A
Linda,
do
you
know
if
that
one's
yes?
Yes,
it
is.
A
Then
I
suppose
we
will
move
on
to
because
don
did
they
have
a
meeting.
Did
you
attend.
A
That
that
was
tuesday
yeah
I
intended
on
zoom
matt
flaherty
had
to
go
to.
D
A
meeting
so
he
went
first
talked
one
of
the
his
primary
message
to
this
week
was
the.
D
Reduction
emission
reduction
issues
of
housing
with
a
very
strong
position
on
making
it.
D
D
D
X
on
the
social
justice
issues
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
thought
was
interesting,
they're.
D
D
Ends
up
at
our
event
that
needs
travel
support
that
we
might
think
in
the
same
terms,.
D
Voted
to
put
that
working
group
on
hold
for
now
to
kind
of
put
it
put
it
in
mothballs.
A
G
In
the
stage
of
finishing
out
a
two-year
research
program
of
getting
data
on,
what's.
A
Daniel
yeah-
I
I
don't
know
actually
who
to
ask
this
question
so
I'll.
Ask
dave,
since
he.
I
Is
one
of
the
friends
of
lake
monroe?
Are
there
any
plans
in
place
for.
G
G
G
Ought
not
to
happen,
and
I
don't
know
that'll
do
any
good,
but
right.
I
don't
know
that.
I
E
G
Well,
I
think
it's
being
thought
about
right
and,
of
course,
it's
not
just
bloomington
that
what
gets.
C
Yeah
approaching
it,
the
aspect
of
water
security
for
bloomington,
maybe
like.
D
I
guess
one
other
thing
to
interject
is
the
fact
that
to
build
a
pipeline
50
miles
worth.
D
D
And
the
shallow
nature
of
the
reservoirs,
they
have
some
really
to
do
some
planning.
G
Yeah,
so
so,
if
somebody
were
interested
in
finding
out
what,
if
any.
J
Somebody
from
somebody
from
utilities
really
yeah
city,
our
city
utilities,
our
city
utilities,.
J
J
So
I'm
sure
they
have
their
finger
on
the
pulse.
Okay,
would
you
do
you
have
a
recommendation.
I
No,
I
don't
straight
to
the
head,
we'll
just
go
straight
to
kelson
the
director.
Okay.
G
I
can't
hear
anybody:
okay,.
I
Well
I'll
start
with
kelson
and
see
see
what
that's
a
he.
I
assume
yes
and,
as
I
said
today,.
G
I
I
recently
read
a
complaint
that
sort
of
that
she
and
some
others
had.
A
A
The
last
report
mciris
don
pretty
much
the
meeting
was
dominated
by
talk
about
their
upcoming.
D
Test
plots
by
trees
falls,
limb
falls,
knocking
down,
fences,
etc.
I
apologize
but
I'll
I'll
send.
D
The
to
everyone
out
to
send
the
minutes
from
the
meeting
that.
D
Ellen
had
sent
the
other
day,
so
I
meant
to
send
that
I
apologize
that
I
just
forgot.
A
I'll
be
awaiting
that.
If
I
could
just
jump
in
here
and
mention
a
little
just.
J
A
few
more
details
about
the
plant
sale
that
don
don
mentioned
mciris
is
having
a.
A
If,
if
that's
it
from
the
reports,
it
looks
like.
J
J
Underground
detention,
which
sends
up
a
red
flag
that
they
might
not
want
enough
pervious,
but.
J
One
called
university
properties
six,
and
that
is
on
the
corner
of
lincoln
and
17th
street.
J
J
And
to
the
east
is
that
a
new
really
large
apartment,
complex
called
evolve.
J
There
this
is
a
also
a
major
site
plan
for
four-story
residential
structure
and.
J
And
two-bedroom
units
and
then
there'll
be
a
basement
level
with
just
10
parking
spaces.
J
Is
ivy
chase
subdivision
phase
two?
This
is
down
on
south
wall,
a
walnut
street
pike.
J
It's
a
request
for
primary
plat
approval
and
they're
out
they're,
also
asking
for
the
secondary.
J
Plat
that
basically
means
the
first
one
and
the
second
one
going
to
staff
for
approval.
J
J
A
very
complicated
site,
where
exactly
is
it
on
walnut
street
pike?
I'm
sorry
what'd,
you
say.
J
I
was
just
curious
where,
where
exactly
on
walnut
street
pike,
it
was
well,
let's
see
the
address.
I
J
Three
times
before
in
1998,
2000
and
2006,
the
phase
one
final
plot
was
recorded
in
2008.
J
But
it's
never
been
developed,
so
that
means
that
the
primary
plat
has
expired
and
they
must.
J
With
cul-de-sacs,
but
the
lot
is
riddled
with
sinkholes
and
they
also,
there
aren't
any
places.
J
Backyard,
so
we
don't
allow
cul-de-sacs
anymore,
so
they'll
be
asking
for
a
waiver.
J
So
there's
several
issues:
environmental
issues
on
this,
one
that
the
ecpc
will
be.
J
So
yeah
that
was
going
to
be
an
issue
for
the
ec.
The
next
one
I'm
going
to
talk
about
is
called.
J
J
South
walnut
street,
where
the
old
night
moves
used
to
be
and
when
I
wrote
that
down.
J
Structure
will
have
a
commercial
space
adjacent
to
walnut
street
there's
gonna
be
64
units.
J
With
a
mixture
of
one
two
and
three
bedrooms
and
there's
also
a
mix
of
low
to
moderate.
J
Income
units
and
that
will
include
10
designated
for
stone
belt
clients
and
then.
J
They'll
be
16
at
market
rate,
there
are
75
parking
spaces
that
will
be
provided,
and
that
will.
J
Include
57
garage
spaces
and
18
surface
spaces.
They
haven't
talked
about
green
building
at
all.
J
But
one
of
the
issues
for
the
ec
will
will
be
pervious
surface
because
they.
J
The
way
they
have
designed
the
site,
the
pervious
service
is
all
in
the
back
adjacent.
J
J
Request
but
we'll
have
to
see
how
how
that
one
shakes
out
the
next
one
is
wheeler
mission.
J
And
this
is
over
on
west
plex
avenue,
which
is
off
of
west
third
street
right.
They
have
currently.
J
And
they
basically
just
want
to
change
to
re-zone
it
to
mixed-use
medium
scale.
J
J
So
since
there
it's
not,
you
know
a
full
developmental
change,
the
property
would
be.
J
Bike
parking
and
it
sounds
like
they're,
going
to
actually
be
taking
some
concrete
out.
J
Because
there's
a
big
giant
parking
lot
that
they
don't
they
don't
need
it
to
be
that
big.
So.
J
They
want
to
the
request
is
for
a
platt
amendment
and
the
minimum
plat
would.
J
Would
combine
a
lot
seven
and
a
lot
eight
into
just
one
lot,
which
would
be
lot.
Eight.
J
J
Have
crafted
a
retention
basin,
operation
and
maintenance
manual
so
they're
they
will
be.
J
J
Agenda
and
so
we'll
we'll
meet
on
about
those,
because
there's
several
several
big
issues
there.
J
Yeah,
thank
you
again
now.
I
guess
it's
time
for
an
outreach
working
group
update
then.
B
Yeah,
so
I
have
some
news
on
that
reach
front
not
as
much
as
I
was
hoping
for
a
few
weeks
ago.
B
But
still
some
good
stuff,
so
this
is
all
up
for
it's
unofficial
at
the
moment,
because.
B
We
haven't
had
our
outreach
working
group
in
a
couple
weeks,
but
we'll
have
our
outreach.
B
B
The
arrangements
that
we've
made
so
the
first
arrangement
that
we
made
is
that
the
venue.
B
Will
now
be
held
at
city
council
chambers
on
september
18th
at
1pm?
That
time
is
up
for.
B
B
B
Yeah,
I
think
most
people
have
commented
that
it's
okay,
that
we
hold
that
at
the
city
council.
B
Dave
rolo
spencer
goal
and
andrea
webster,
so
those
emails
were
sent
out
this
morning.
B
Very
enthusiastic
about
it
and
he
called
it
an
honor.
So
that's
good
news
on
that
front.
B
Early
next
week,
if
we
still
don't
get
a
response,
I'm
not
100
sure
the
janet
mccabe
email
that
I.
B
Have
is
being
used
at
the
moment,
it's
just
kind
of
hard
to
find
her
real
email.
B
Goes
to
her
assistant,
so
I
can
call
that
number
next
week
if
she
doesn't
respond.
B
And
then
we'll
go
to
the
next
person
on
the
list
that
we
receive
the
highest
votes.
B
If
none
of
those
people
respond
and
I'll
keep
you
updated
on
all
that
stuff.
B
Next
week,
I
think
that's
all
I
have
to
say
about
that:
oh
no,
wait
and
also
for
eco
heroes,.
B
B
Want
to
participate
in
handing
out
the
flyers,
which
I've
already
heard
from
a
few
people.
B
That
want
to
help
out.
Please
email
me
and
we'll
pick
a
good
date
that
we
can
all
go
out
and.
B
Just
layer,
the
town
with
flyers,
in
an
environmentally
friendly
way,
of
course,.
B
So
that's
that's
the
plan
for
the
outreach
working
group
with
the
biodiversity
working
group.
B
I
guess,
since
we've
last
met,
we
did
have
our
our
big
meeting
of
partners.
We.
B
Didn't
have
as
many
people
as
I
was
hoping
come,
but
they
were
all
the
people
that
came.
B
The
habitat
connectivity
plan,
which
really
got
me
excited,
and
we
I
think
we
have
a
good,
a.
B
Good
groundwork
to
work
on
with
a
habitat
connectivity
plan
right
now
I
just
I
was.
B
Away
on
vacation-
and
I
had
other
stuff,
so
I've
just
been
a
little
busy
but
I'll
hopefully
get
to.
B
To
do
to
publicize
that
project
awesome!
Last
thing:
oh
sorry,
no
you're
good
go
ahead.
B
And
also
the
ht
didn't
know,
so
that's
that's
the
deal
with
that.
So
still
all
expensive
ventures.
B
For
advertisements-
and
maybe
we
can
discuss
that
during
the
next
outreach
working
group
as.
B
Well,
on
what
we
want
to
do
with
that
long,
eco
heroes
and
also
with
the
50-year
anniversary.
A
Of
exciting
news
on
the
both
the
outreach
and
the
biodiversity
fronts,
the
next
matter
of.
D
On
august,
fourth,
their
council's
going
to
be
taking
up
annexation,
so
that
will
be.
D
Probably
a
very
interesting
series
of
meetings
as
that
process
gets
underway.
A
All
right,
let's
see
with
the
skipping
of
old
business,
we'll,
have
to
prolong.
A
That
is
I'm
not
aware
of
any
other
new
business
linda.
Is
there
anything.
I
So
could
you
update
us
linda
on
the
the
zoom
meeting
thing?
Oh
yes,.
J
The
the
change
was
moved
back
a
month,
which
is
obvious
by
us
being
on
zoom
again
tonight.
J
J
J
That
that
you
all
passed
last
month
in
case,
you
want
to
tweak
that
at
all.
A
Okay,
yes
ben,
I
see
your
hand
raised
yeah,
I'm
still
a
little
confused
about
how
we're
gonna
be.
B
Putting
this
on
zoom
like
like
is
someone
gonna,
be
videotaping.
Everyone
talk
every
single
time.
B
Or
are
we
gonna
have
like
just
a
view
of
the
of
the
entire
room
and
then
we'll
have
like.
B
Some
sort
of
green
screen
on
that's
or
something
what's
what's
this?
Well,
I'm
glad.
J
Its
actually
giving
lessons
so
to
speak
on
how
to
do
it
in
the
various
rooms.
J
Then,
when
we
go
to
the
council
chambers
for
eco
heroes,
things
will
be
different
in
there.
So.
A
Any
commissioners
have
any
announcements
tonight
before
we
wrap
up
our
meeting.
Yes
don.
A
D
Yesterday
I
sat
in
on
the
environmental
working
groups
meeting
on.
D
Forever,
chemicals
and
I'll
send
congresswoman
debbie
dingle
with.
D
But
there's
a
couple
of
bills
coming
up
for
forever:
con
forever
chemical.
G
That's
about
pfas,
is
it
yeah
and
I
I
particularly
one
of
the
things
that.
D
Might
be
kind
of
a
significant
issue
for
us
is
that
particularly
our
fire.
D
People
are
among
those
that
are
most
impacted
by
these,
and
it's
basically,
it
sounds
like
a.
K
Oh
yeah,
no
just
just
really
brief,
so
we're
expanding
one
of
our
research
programs
at
the.
K
Over
the
course
of
a
term
would
love
to
have
those
discussions,
so
I
just
wanted
to
flag
that.
B
Oh,
I
was
actually
waving
to
someone
to
say
goodbye,
but
if
I
have
the
speaker
in.
B
Front
of
me
right
now,
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
heading
to
bloomington
next
week
and
I'm
I.
B
And
hopefully,
get
to
know
you
all
so
I'm
excited
to
see
you
all.
A
A
I
would
accept
the
motion
for
a
german
smooth
shocking.
Thank
you,
everyone
for
being.
