Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
And
we're
going
to
call
this
meeting
to
order,
we
have
a
quorum.
Hopefully
we
have.
A
A
couple
more
people
sneak
on
in
we'll
start
with
introductions
that
will
go
first.
My.
C
Active
with
m.c
iris
and
the
parks
people,
so
that's
it
all
right.
E
G
I'm
damian
whitney
I'm
retired
from
franklin
college
as
an
english
teacher.
A
Welcome
everyone.
Next,
I
believe
I
would
accept
a
motion
for
approval
of
last
month's
minutes.
A
Voice
vote
here,
so
I'm
going
to
vote
yes,
sam
yay,
yes
don!
Yes,
mike
yay
megan,
yes,.
A
J
J
So
that
is
my
request:
that
information
be
removed
from
the
website.
H
K
Hi,
I'm
ellen
j
cart
with
I'm
president
of
the
monroe
county,
identify
and
reduce
invasive
species.
K
K
And
I
was
kind
of
horrified,
so
I
had
sent
an
email
to
just
the
environmental
commission.
I
think.
K
The
contact
link
off
that
website
a
few
years
ago
and
never
heard
back,
and
so
when
chris.
K
K
Has
been
tested
for
its
impacts
and
we
know
how
safely
and
you
know
for
most
of
us,
botanist
types.
K
K
K
Problematic
and
puts
you
at
a
little
bit
of
risk
promoting
that,
as
as
chris
noted,
if.
K
Well,
that's
a
good
question
mike
and
and
chris
I'm
going
to
want
you
to
wait
on
this
too
you're.
K
K
K
Herbicide
in
the
world
and
the
thousands
of
studies
that
have
been
done
have
not
found
a.
K
For
the
environment,
because
it's
a
relatively
short-lived
herbicide,
that
is
not
mobile,.
K
It's
bound
up
by
organic
matter,
so
it
doesn't
move
it's
it's
about
the
safest
thing
that
we
can.
K
D
Sam,
I
want
to
chime
in
here
also
because
I'm
also
a
licensed
applicator,
and
I
do.
B
Have
to
agree
that
homemade
weed
killers,
for
the
most
part
are
pretty
bad
for
the
environment.
B
Invasive
plant
control
and
for
the
benefit
of
the
environment-
and
it's
it's
just
good,
knowing.
B
C
About
the
safety
of
glycophase,
I
mean
it
seems
more
of
a
u.s.
C
It's
and
also
in
the
eu,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
controversy
and
I'm
it's
hard
to
see.
M
M
Yeah
just
really
excited
to
be
part
of
it
again.
So,
thanks
for
having
me
welcome
back.
O
O
O
O
Large,
outside
the
watershed
most
of
bloomington
drains
south
into
salt
creek
below
lake
monroe
and.
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
We
did
a
lot
of
water
quality
sampling.
We
sampled
five
tributaries
monthly
for
a
year,
so
north.
O
O
O
O
O
O
Levels
drop
down
to
zero,
which
they
do
in
the
summer
that
can
release
phosphorus
from
the.
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
About
that
project,
this
is
a
photo
of
deer
run
park
in
nashville
as
an
example
of
a
land
use.
O
O
Far
and
wide
we
want
to
increase
awareness,
we
are
preparing
an
executive
summary,
a
short
short.
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
That
as
well
workshops,
educational,
mailers
and
then
more
fun,
events
like
boat
tours.
O
O
O
O
O
A
stream
or
a
lake
leave
a
buffer
of
plants
along
the
edge,
if
you
have
a
pet,
be
sure.
B
B
B
Well,
even
even
better
from
the
source,
so
I
was,
I
guess
my
question
more
directly
is.
B
What
is,
how
is
friends
of
lake
monroe
thinking
about
being
involved
or
not
in
that.
O
Yeah,
it's
a
really
exciting
program
that
really
just
came
to
the
surface
yesterday,
so
I
haven't.
O
L
L
L
L
Document
as
part
of
that
process,
they're
going
to
inventory
trees
on.
L
All
seven
campuses
and
those
will
help
to
keep
the
forests
and
trees
on
campus
in
good
shape
and.
L
A
Sam,
were
you
able
to
attend
that,
so
I
logged
in
to
their
zoom
link
and
I
was
not
able
for
so.
B
For
whatever
reason
to
spectate
their
meeting,
I'm
not
able
to
see
their
meetings
after
their.
B
411,
which
is
about
renewable
energy,
so
that's
all
I
have
from
there
I'm
trying
to
reach.
A
Well,
thank
you
for
your
effort.
See
next,
I
believe,
would
be
fucos.
C
Care
about
a
video
again,
they
met
on
the
a
lot
of
the
meeting.
Time
was
spent
on
internal.
C
Issues
related
to
amendments
which
they
ended
up
not
being
able
to
act
on
because.
C
They
didn't
have
a
form,
or
they
couldn't
were
a
little
bit
unclear
as
to
whether,
because.
C
C
Thing
about
equity
and
environmental,
the
pres,
meaning
that
they're
going
to
have
as.
C
Far
as
environmental
justice,
as
far
as
being
able
to
meet
the
these
climate
goals
with.
C
And
they're
going
to
have
the
consultant
for
the
city
of
oakland,
california,.
C
Reading
my
notes
correctly,
I
sent
the
link.
C
For
matt
flaherty's
or
the
discussion
about
the
consolidation
of
commissions.
C
The
city
council
decided
to
keep
their
sustainability
climate
action.
C
Or
subcommittee
functioning
and
it
survived
so
there's
a
meeting
coming
up
with
that
and
I.
C
Sent
the
link
for
that
today
to
commissioners
there
was
at
the
meeting.
There
was
a
discussion.
C
About
the
potential
merger
between
the
ec
and
because
one
of
the
things
was
clear,
was
that.
C
And
so
this
is
not
sort
of
surprising.
I
mean.
C
C
So
it's
a
big
point
when
matt
flaherty
meant
was
that
he
would
appreciate
both
commissions.
C
Members
observer
participants
are
sitting
in
on
the
zoom
meeting
that
they're
going
to
have.
A
L
Okay,
well,
unlike
the
trade
commission,
where
adamia
is
very
good
at
getting
the
minutes
out,
the.
L
Same
day
as
the
meeting
with
iraq,
we
meet
every
two
months
and
we
usually
don't
get
the
minutes.
L
For
the
past,
the
last
meeting
until
two
months
later
so
I'll
have
to
give
you
the
rough.
L
L
The
parks
department
will
have
a
climate
action
team
related
to
the
city's
plan.
A
Good
call
follow
that
up
with
mciris
monroe
county
identify
and
reduce
invasive
species,.
C
Okay,
I
sent
out
the
minutes
from
the
last
meeting,
so
pretty
much
summation
there.
One.
C
Observation
from
that
that
I
would
make
for
m.c
iris
for
and
us
is
also
the
fact
that
early.
C
Activities
coming
up
with
b
costs
is
participation
in
it.
I
hope
we
will
follow
up
on.
C
Somehow
getting
involved
ourselves
again
with
this
year,
we're
moving
and
we.
C
We've
run
into
bad
weather
last
two
weeks
with
some
of
our
work,
but
last
week
we
did.
C
A
day
in
at
vladimir
was
so,
we
got
a
better,
fair
idea
about
the
extent
of
the
invasive
plants.
C
Again,
one
other
point
would
be
the
fact
that,
because
nciris
and
our
group.
C
Actions
to
support
the
less
less
financially.
C
C
So
all
three
of
us
seem
to
be
looking
at
ways
of
trying
to
get
resources
available.
So
this
just.
B
This
group,
but
are
any
of
those
groups
that
you're
working
with
working
with
the
canopy
project.
C
I'm
not
sure
when
what
someone
would
pray
that
she's
still
with
us
to
probably
answer
that.
C
Better
than
me,
as
far
as
mciris,
I
know
that
because
just
talked
about
the
canopy
people.
H
Here
I
am
being
muted,
again
I'll,
just
kind
of
list
the
cases
that
will
be
on
the
planned.
H
And
they
will
be
building
a
self-service
storage
facility,
3000
south
walnut
street.
H
H
That's
basically
the
corner
of
fest
and
12th
street
and.
H
It
has
an
alley
on
the
east
side
and
the
railroad
tracks
to
the
north
of
it.
H
And
then,
as
far
as
the
petitions
that
will
be
heard,
trinitas
ventures,
they're
they're.
H
Simply
asking
for
an
amendment
to
their
district
ordinance
and
the
trades
district
technology.
H
Center
they've
got
they
will
be
presenting
a
plan,
a
major
site
plan
to.
A
I
I
In
the
brochure,
yet
I've
been
a
little
bit
busy
with
eco
heroes.
At
the
moment,
that's.
I
Just
been
taking
priority,
but
I
hope
in
the
next
week
or
so
I'll
be
able
to
get
that
out.
I
Ask
for
more
free
treats
from
us
because
we're
offering
that
this
year,
so
that's
go
ahead.
A
I
I
And
then
I
think,
I'm
up
again
with
eco
heroes,
so
I
just
got
started.
I
just
got
started
with.
I
Eco
heroes,
this
past
week
too,
we
got
a
letter
made.
We
got
the
business
letter
made
as.
I
I
I
Two
people,
but
it
would
be
better
if
we
had
more
just
for
decision
making,
information
and.
I
So
it's
really
not
that
time
consuming
and
it
would
be
really
helpful
to
the
people
that.
I
Are
already
on
the
committee
so
that
they
don't
have
to
take
on
so
much
work?
I
don't.
I
Had
mentioned
fighting
fragmentation
as
a
way
as
a
good
theme
to
connect
with
the.
A
People
just
volunteered
so
oh,
oh
excellent,
yeah!
I
was
going
to
talk
about
just
basically
what
the.
I
This
week
and
next
week
it's
really
just
the
feelers
we're
getting
out
right
now,
we're.
I
People
that
they
other
artists
in
the
community
so
that
they
can
start
getting
prepared
for.
I
It's
lions
yeah.
I
think
okay
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
and
that
will
be
on
april
23rd
and.
I
For
advertisement
and
then
also,
I
think
he
also
went
for.
C
Okay,
so
that's
fair,
I
I
think
I
have
a
pretty
good
list
of
bloomington
business.
I
Of
the
changing
businesses,
because
a
lot
of
businesses
went
on
a
business
last
fall
because.
I
Of
kovid,
so
I
think
it's
pretty
accurate
and
it
shouldn't
be
too
difficult.
Other
than
printing
out.
A
When,
when
you
do
need
any
legwork
in
that
in
that
working
group,
so
that
is
excellent.
Thank
you.
A
Everyone,
actually,
I
do
have
a
question,
sorry
to
backtrack
a
little
bit
on
the
the
connectivity.
A
Plan
one:
is
there
a
timeline
for
that
as
well
for
the
release
of
the
map
or
anything.
I
But
it's
just
the
time
constraints
right
now.
So
as
soon
as
I
finish,
the
ecos
hero,
stuff.
I
Super
close
to
getting
ready
to
be
sent
out,
and
I
think
the
pledge
is
also.
I
At
it
yet,
but
I
think
she's
pretty
happy
with
it.
So
that's
goodness
thank
you
for
clarifying.
A
That
for
me
I
I
had
intended
to
to
attend
the
the
presentation
that
you
did,
but
I
had.
A
A
scheduling
conflict,
so
it's
good
to
hear
about
it.
Anyone
else
have
any
comments.
A
And
ec
plan
committee
or
ecpc
since
linda's
role
has
changed.
We
will
not
get
the
same
input.
A
A
good
time
for
discussion
to
figure
out
what
ways
we
may
be
able
to
to
kind
of
fill
the
void.
A
Ways
to
keep
an
eye
on
the
projects
and
and
see
what
what
memos
we
may
need
to
make.
H
To
put
into
it
because
it's
it
seems
almost
like
it
would
have
to
be
an
individual.
Let
me
just.
H
H
Idea
that
usually
and
they'll
talk
about
the
scheduling
and
the.
H
And
the
permit
fees
and
what
they
you
know,
the
idea
that
they
have
in
their
mind
what.
H
What
will
work
and
what
won't
work
and
then
they?
The
next
step,
is
to
present
that
to
a
group.
H
Of
people
at
the
city
called
a
development
drc
development
review
committee
and
those
are.
H
People
from
all
the
various
departments
and
the
current
planner
will
present
the
plan
to
them.
H
And
a
planned
commission
meeting
and
then
basically
I
have
previously
been
in
on.
H
Those
most
of
those
meetings
so
right
after
the
final
deadline
for
submissions.
H
You
know,
I
would
describe
the
plan
to
them
and
you
know
we
would
discuss
it,
they
would.
H
Give
me
their
ideas
on.
Excuse
me,
their
ideas
on
either
getting
a
question
answered
or.
H
And
then,
in
a
couple
weeks
there
there's
final
revisions.
H
So
there's
an
opportunity
for
the
developer
to
make
the
changes
that
that
all
the
different.
H
H
Those
processes
to
come
up
with
the
information
to
write
a
memo
and
also.
H
You
know
having
a
clear
understanding
of
the
udo,
and
you
know
a
handful
of
the
other.
H
Titles
in
the
municipal
code
is
is
necessary,
so
it's
it's
going
to
be
kind
of
tricky
now.
H
H
Ask
for
something
and
there's
actually
a
number
of
things
that
the
ec
asks
for
on
that
not.
H
Asked
for
it
a
number
of
recommendations
that
they
provide
kind
of
regularly.
That
actually
could.
H
Have
something
to
do
with
the
way
the
planning
and
transportation
department
does
their
process.
A
A
In
before
calling
on
sam,
I
was
going
to
ask
do:
do
you
think
we
would
need
somebody
as
early.
A
As
as
the
development
review
committee
meeting,
do
you
think
we
need
someone
to.
H
Another
thing
another
place
that
you
could
someone
could
go
that
I
I.
H
Actually
never
attended
these,
but
the
department
has
a
lunchtime
meeting.
H
For
the
planned
commission
to
go
over
the
pl,
the
proposals
also
and
that's
another.
H
Meeting
that
someone
could
attend
to
get
the
lowdown
on
on
the
cases.
H
To
keep
asking
this
same
question
over
and
over
again
and
as
it
turns
out,
some
things
could.
H
Be
changed
in
the
udo
to
so
it's
in
what
what
the
ec
is
requesting
is
actually
in
code.
B
D
Into
the
udo,
I
think
we
probably
could
just
if
we
could
get
a
summary
from
planning
staff
of.
D
Real
techniques
related
to
environmental
issues
seems
like
for
some
of
these
urban
projects.
We.
H
Well,
the
director
is,
is
happy
to
meet.
A
A
A
A
A
Change
and
we
have
to
decide
how
much
we're
gonna
change
with
it.
You
know,
but
ben
go
ahead.
H
Well,
I
don't
know
if
they
sneak
it
by
or
if
it's
accidental,
but
that's
what
the.
H
A
Well,
I'm
not
sure
exactly
how
we
can
proceed
with
that
one
at
this
time,
lindell
I'll,
be
sure.
A
To
be
in
conversation
with
you
about
the,
it
was
a
lot
of
steps
you
mentioned.
I
didn't
memorize.
A
A
A
Sure,
right
I'll
try
to
jot
them
down,
and
that
would
make
it
easier
than
me
trying
to
describe
it.
A
Does
anyone
else
have
any
questions
or
comments
on
this
subject
for
for
a
new
business.
A
Yes,
sam
I'll,
just
matt
I'll
just
agree
with
what
you're
saying.
I
think

secretary
treasurer
position

D
A
Mike,

you
refresh
me

what
the
the

can't.
A
H
Yes,

we've
done
it

the
past

somebody
who
was
competing.

this
point
we'll
come
down
to
commissioner
announcements.
B
B
Here
in
bloomington,
so
over
the
next
year,
so
I'll
be
working
with
the.
B
Parks
and
rec
department
to
just
do
various
things
around
the
park.
I
hope
to
focus
on.
B
Combating
the
invasive
plant
species
that
are
primarily
around
the
riparian
buffer
along.
B
The
stream
and
re-vegetating
with
some
natives
there
and
then
also
on
a
separate
thing.
I
just.
B
Wanted
to
just
make
a
personal
comment
about
the
potential
merger
that
was
talked
about.
B
In
the
novak
group-
and
I
just
wanted
to
put
my
personal
statement
on
record-
that
I
think
that.
B
H
So
if
the
administration
is
moving
forward
with
it
already
or
not,
I
I'm
not
privy
to
that.
A
Full
support
of
our
economy
at
this
time
here
dave
well,
it
turns
out
my
ipad
has.
L
Well,
okay:
I
can
get
started
anyway.
I
worked
for
three
years
for
the
new
york
city,
water
supply.
L
Where
these
e
coli
are
coming
from,
because
and
I'm
glad
that
maggie
has
done
some
work
with
that.
L
Correlation
between
e
coli
numbers
and
the
things
that
actually
make
humans,
sick
and
it
seems.
L
C
At
the
be
cost
meeting,
matt
flaherty
suggested
to
the
because
commissioners
that
they.
C
The
other
city,
their
your
si,
the
council
member,
that
represents
your
district.
C
If
you
have
thoughts
that
he
thought
it
would
be
important
for
commission
members,
at
least
for.
C
A
A
The
planning
committee
going
to
look
into
the
city
developments
which
we
did
talk
about
today,.
A
A
Brochures
or
or
any
you
know,
informational
pieces
about,
encouraging
natives.
They.
A
Basically,
yeah
educating
people
and
then
reporting
any
invasives
that
are
on.
A
A
A
At
box
stores
sometimes
but
there's
a
couple
other
things,
you
propose
that
we.
