Hi,
this
is
mayor,
john
hamilton,
just
a
quick
message
on
monday
august
17th
we're
continuing
to
monitor
the
covet
data
as
school
corporations
open
as
indiana
university
welcomes
students
back
continuing
to
have
low
positivity
rates
in
the
county,
but
very
much
watching
the
changes
in
our
community
and
ready
to
move
and
change
our
rules.
If
we
need
to,
I
wanted
basically
just
to
encourage
you
to
watch
tonight
at
6
p.m,
I'll
be
presenting
to
city
council,
the
the
beginning
of
the
whole
budget
week
for
2021
budget.
A
The
2021
budget
is
a
rainy
day
budget.
We
are
investing
more
than
we're
receiving
in
order
to
help
not
only
keep
our
basic
services
going,
but
also
to
help
recover
forward
we're
trying
to
make
sure
we
protect
our
employees
who
then
deliver
all
the
services
that
are
so
important
to
our
community
during
this
very
challenging
time,
as
well
as
investing
in
recover
forward
meaning.
A
How
do
we
move
forward
as
a
community
to
build
back
our
bloomington
in
ways
that
steer
us
toward
racial
justice,
economic
justice
and
climate
justice
and
I'll,
be
speaking
quite
a
bit
about
that
tonight?
So
I
don't
want
to
add
detail
to
that
right
now,
but
encourage
you
to
check
in
you
can
watch
it
on
cats.
You
can
watch
it
on
facebook.
It
starts
at
six
o'clock
tonight
and
then
the
next
three
nights
as
well
as
we
look
at
how
we
want
to
put
our
values
into
place
in
the
2021
budget.
A
So
thanks
for
your
attention
to
the
community,
thanks
for
all
you're
doing
to
help
keep
people
safe
and
keeping
our
community
going.
We
have
challenges
that
continue
in
front
of
us,
but
I
know
we'll
make
it
through.
I
appreciate
your
help
and
attention
to
our
community
thanks
and
encourage
you
again
to
watch
tonight.
