A
2022
we'll
start
the
meeting
with
the
railfall.
Sorry
ready,
search,
call
us.
B
A
A
A
Anyone
who's
here
in
person
or
or
remotely
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
share.
My
screen
here.
A
The
establishment
of
a
district
to
benefit
the
city
and
and
meridians
project.
C
Work
session,
we'll
we'll
go
through
that
again
for
the
benefit
of
all
the
members
I'll
tell
you.
A
So
first
off
marines
requested
and
the
city
supports
the
creation
of
an
allocation
area
to.
A
Tif
would
be
pervaded
to
the
city
by
a
meridian
by
marine
to
the
city,
and
this
has
desired.
A
A
A
To
un
sustainable
development
goals
as
well,
and
we
find
them
to
be
a
uniquely
good
fit
for.
A
Bloomington's
fiber
goals,
our
digital
equity,
strategic
goals
and
to
our
community's
values.
A
A
Concern
in
the
decades,
not
not
simply
a
a
provider
that
comes
into
our
community
is
bought.
A
Up
changes
their
business
direction,
sells
out
and
and
leaves
us
with
whatever
they
leave
us
with.
A
And
then
one
of
our
our
last,
but
also
very
important
goal
for
us
is
bridging.
A
In
need
and
who
are
most
left
out
from
from
our
current
in
our
current
broadband
environment,.
A
So
here's
a
super
condensed
back
story,
as
I
mentioned,
2016
is
really
when
we
started.
A
This
overall
project,
we
released
a
request
for
information.
There
were
multiple
responses
to.
A
That
that
we
ultimately
whittled
down
to
one
party
whom
we
negotiated
with
very.
A
Intensely
that
project
was
quite
promising.
We
had
an
announcement,
but
it
ultimately.
A
Of
multiple
cities
that
they
were
talking
that
they
were
in
negotiations
with
in
the
u.s
market.
A
Weren't,
where
we
we
needed
to
be
in
2020,
we
conducted
a
survey
and
drafted
a
digital.
A
A
Elements
of
of
this
work
and
then
in
2020
we
connected
somewhat
by
chance
with
wired
a.
A
An
isp
who
found
our
community
interesting,
they
were
like
our
other
parties
bought
by
another.
A
Strong
business
connections
in
wired
with
with
staff
at
meridium
and
they
in
consultation.
A
Kicked
off
this
process
intensely
with
meridian
after
that,
and
since
then
we
have
been
working.
A
Working
intensely
earnestly
to
to
bring
this
project
you
know
to
fruition,
we.
A
Signed
a
letter
of
intent
with
meridian
in
august
of
august
27th
and
then.
A
From
then
to
this
day,
we've
been
working
on
a
master
agreement.
The
proposed
digital
equity.
A
Discussions
and
visitations-
and
we
are
to
the
point
that
we
are
right
now,
where
we
are.
A
As
a
as
a
wholesale
offering
will
be
available
to
other
providers
to
use
not
just
that.
A
Local
environment,
in
addition,
meridian,
is
proposing
85
and
up
community
coverage.
That
is
the.
A
The
baseline
we
we
expect
to
go
higher
higher
than
that,
but
at
least
85
percent
that
stands.
A
In
contrast
to
other
providers
which
have
no
requirement
on
them
to
to
provide
coverage.
A
They
may
but,
but
this
is
a
compelling
agreement
to
us,
the
cost
of
the
isp
service
will
be.
A
A
A
Will
include
250
megabits
per
service
up
and
down
to
all
income
eligible
households
within.
A
A
Service
and
lastly,
this
will
be
a
service
that
is
offered
essentially
for
free,
the
there's,
a
30.
A
Charge
which
can
be
offset
through
with
the
federal
government's
affordable
connectivity.
A
Recently,
re-rebranded,
and
that
would
provide
you
know
what
you
know.
We.
A
A
really
important
important
way
to
elevate
everyone
in
our
community
through
through.
A
A
The
infrastructure
is
being
built
out
and
review
process.
A
A
A
The
table
columbus,
shelbyville
and
martinsville
in
our
early
discussions
with
meridian,
we
looked.
A
Other
opportunities
there
are
similarly
situated
cities,
columbus,
martinsville
and
shelbyville.
A
So
that
brings
us
to
the
reason
why
we're
here
today
visiting
with
you
the
tiff
district
request.
A
We're
seeking
we're
moving
forward
with
the
public
tax,
increment
finance
project.
A
A
And
thus
spiders
out,
you
know,
through
the
through
the
community,
the
total
tiff.
A
Across
25
years
we
estimate
it
at
approximately.
You
know,
14.4.
A
You
know,
but
we
consider
the
benefits
to
be
to
be
substantial.
There's
no
tax
increase
to.
A
The
public,
by
virtue
of
adopting
this
tiff
and
there's
no
funding
for
or
no
funding
drop
for.
A
Other
taxing
units
because
of
this
it
wouldn't
happen
without
the
tip,
thus
zero
equals
zero.
A
But
there
will
be
new
revenue
in
the
community
to
multiple
taxing
multiple
taxing
units
through.
A
They
intend
and
then
one
of
the
things
about
this
is
we
felt
that
this
process
gives.
A
A
Partnership
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
as
transparent
as
possible
about
this
process.
A
For
administrative
overhead
of
district.
A
A
A
Greendale,
etc
is
only
from
the
last
few
years
from
that
are
consulting
partners.
Our
financial.
A
Partners
have
shared
with
us
and
then
I
think
more
importantly,
and
more
connected
to
this.
A
Lebanon
and
manchester,
so
this
isn't
this
isn't
the
kind
of
project
that
is
rare.
A
By
any
means,
in
terms
of
the
overall,
using
these
types
of
districts,.
A
A
I'll
just
pop
up,
this
quote
one
of
our
advisors
throughout
this
process
is
blair
levin.
He
was
the.
A
Updating
him
throughout
this
process
and
and
seeking
his
guidance
on
it.
We
we
believe
this
is.
A
As
compelling
a
project
as
he
does
and
we're
thankful
for
your
consideration.
A
I
don't
know
we
have
with
us
also
richard
starkey
from
partners.
I
don't
need
to
put
you.
A
They
they,
then,
are
able
to
receive,
what's
referred
to
as
a
rebate,
but.
A
We've
created
this
tiff
from
all
the
personal
property,
the
taxes
that
they
pay
and.
A
And
then,
from
that
declaration
of
resolution,
along
with
the
plan.
A
Plan
of
development
for
the
city
of
bloomington,
then
we'll
go
before
the
city
council
for
them
to.
A
Approve
it
we'll
publish
a
nose
for
a
public
hearing,
comes
back
before
this
body,
for
you
guys.
A
A
Before
jumping
into
questions,
I
also
want
to
introduce
scott
flamin
and
nick
phillips.
A
Who
are
with
us
from
meridian,
and
they
want
to
say
something
they're
welcome.
If
not,
we
can
just.
A
A
Thanks
everybody
appreciate
your
presentations,
so
are
there
questions
from
commissioners.
B
Team,
you
know
regulatory
as
in
there's
the
state
regulations
that
apply
applies
to
this,
but.
A
You
know
the
city
cities
and
you
know
cities
are
fairly
limited
in
what
they
can
do
in
terms.
A
A
With
the
the
understanding
that
we
have,
you
know
throughout
the
coming
years,.
A
To
provide
services
to
end
users
so
that
isp
would
then
you
know
bill
and
charge.
A
A
And
interacts
directly
with
with
residential
end
users
in
the
case
of
the
providers
that
we.
A
Is
their
network
is
only
for
their
evidence?
It's
not
operated
yeah
as
a
type
of
wholesale.
B
A
With
our
consulting
partners
ctc-
and
they
found
them
to
be
highly
reputable
and
capable.
A
A
A
E
A
Which
is
miss
nomer
because
it's
actually
the
third
european
point,
but
new
york
florida.
A
Europe,
there's
africa,
two
choices
around
africa.
This
one
is
north
america,
three,
so.
B
B
B
B
B
If
we
do
choose
to
salvage
to
never
sold
anything
so
first,
you
guys
would
have
a
list.
B
A
A
A
A
There's
nothing
that
we
have
that's
excluding
monroe
county
from
partnering.
A
Is
dealing
with
10th
district
within
the
corporate
boundaries
of.
A
The
bloomington,
but
as
part
of
our
agreement,
you
know
we
are
seeking
coverage
of
the
areas.
A
A
A
A
A
A
You
know
infrastructure
around
the
roads,
so
the
intent
is
to
full
again
fully
cover.
A
You
know
an
underground
asset
that
is
owned
and
managed
by
by
meridian,
not.
B
A
B
A
Housing
vouchers
as
one
of
the
criteria
and
that
would
determine
eligibility.
A
You
know,
but
do
they
subsidize
is
what
I'm
asking
the
housing
authority
doesn't.
B
A
Providers
they
they
they
certainly,
you
know
utilize
the
federal
subsidies
and
can
encourage.
A
A
B
E
A
Yeah,
so
right,
right
now
we
do
not
have
a
a
separate
digital
equity
fund.
What
we
have
used
for.
A
We
we
granted
35
000
into
not-for-profits
for
digital
equity
projects
in
the
first
year.
A
The
basically
moved
into
my
department
into
its
as
a
permanent
or
semi-permanent.
A
Part
of
our
of
our
budget,
so
we're
now
funding
that
out
of
the
its
budget,
but
those
right
now.
A
Qualifying
residents
up
to
350
dollars
per
unit
and
then
we're
going
to
pay
an
annual
digital.
A
I
think
it's
part
of
the
digital
equity
fund
or
aspect
of
it,
those
who
already
may
get
snap
or.
A
To
this,
and
whatever
it
is,
that
page
is
yeah.
If,
if
you,
you
know,
as
a
community
member.
A
If
you're
interested
in
meridians,
you
know
isps
service,
then
you
would
pay
the
rates
that
they.
A
Which
matches
the
thirty.
A
On
page
10
of
the
agreement
seems
like
it
might
be
very
pro-forma
language,
but
I
find
it
odd.
A
A
A
A
Of
citizens
into
the
state
which,
ultimately
it
relates
to
morals,
hopefully.
A
A
A
million
divided
by
yeah
350.,
although
you
know,
I
think
that
that
also
varies
because.
A
Girls,
that's
what
I
do.
I
ask
questions
so
here's
some
questions
and
there's
a
bunch
of
them.
B
There's
no
legal
obligation
so,
as
we
already
see
with
three
members
present
today
out.
B
Of
four
potentially
five
who
theoretically
could
be
here
if
all
the
vacancies
were
filled.
B
As
I
work
out
the
calendar,
the
plan
commission
is
set
to
meet
and
vote
on
this
13th
the
next
day.
B
B
That
rapid
sequence
for
someone
whose
professional
responsibility
is
to
be
skeptical.
B
Suggests
to
me
that
there's
some
urgency
here
is
there
some
urgency
to
that.
Finally,.
A
B
Following
the
remarks
for
meridian
on
tape
rate
again,
giving
the
tape
rate.
B
In
the
lower
income,
areas
will
be
or
you
aspire.
That
would
be
roughly
the
same
as
in.
A
Other
areas,
I'm
starting
with
lower
income
periods
and
take
credit
what
kind
of
tape
rate.
A
A
A
That
might
not
exactly
be
the
case
if
it's
not
well,
I'm
not
even
sure
how
to
create
the
question.
B
A
So
some
additional
clarity
on
the
map
would
be
really
useful
and
finally,
actually.
A
Developer,
I'm
just
finding.
This
is
kind
of
a.
A
Informational
request
it
wouldn't
be
possible
to
get
a
copy
of
the
slide
deck.
A
A
Well,
I'm
a
geographer
background,
so
the
map
one
which
seemed
to
show.
A
A
A
Questions
you
know
we
do
have
a
schedule,
because
our
our
goal
is
to
to
advance
this
and
allow.
A
Add
an
addition
of
multiple
months
prior
to
the
project
being
able
to
to
start
on
the
ground.
A
I
will
ask
about
the
question:
how
does
the
other
cities
involved.
A
In
terms
of
willing
to
compare
to
the
adversities
that
are
part
of
this
project,.
A
A
A
There
are
a
number
of
different
models
or
you
know,
for
broadband.
A
You
know
yeah,
a
city
owned,
you
know,
utility
is
is
one
of
them
there,
those
those
tend
to
be.
A
A
Meridian
is
proposing
and
and
then
the
city
taking
on
the
responsibility
for
the.
A
The
realities
of
our
situation,
you
know,
but
I
would
also
say
that
this
is
among
the.
B
E
A
A
New
meeting,
as
as
was
already
noted,
that
the
timetable's
pretty
extraordinarily
tight
condition.
A
It
could
be
seconded
and
then
it
could.
It
could
potentially.
A
A
Public
hearing
later,
which
is
a
little
bit
more
of
a
formal
process
in
terms
of
having
to
accept.
A
A
consideration
there
in
terms
of
pros
and
cons
to
it
is
yeah
once
stopping
this
resolution.
A
Con
to
that
is
technically
for
the
ordinance
to
go
forward.
There's
a.
A
For
first
reading
at
council
this
week
and
for
consideration
next
week
for
committee
of
the
whole.
A
A
A
A
B
A
B
A
B
B
B
Wonder
if
we
should
just
take
five
minutes
as
staff
and
just
pause
for
a
minute
and
just.
D
D
D
B
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
C
A
A
So
we
have
had
a
motion
for
resolution
22-33
and
we
have
not
had
a
second.
A
And
put
it
out
for
the
commissioners
for
a
little
call
vote.
Yes,
randy
cassidy.
B
A
A
This
now
chair,
so
this
is
an
annual
requirement
of
the
rdc
for
june
15th
of
every
year.
You
have.
A
A
So
what
this
would
be
is
the
rdc
will
be
required
to
also
send
notices
to
the
county.
A
A
A
Thank
you,
mr
ellen,
do
you
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
commissioners.
A
And
there,
when
you
say
there
will
be
no
assessed
value
this
year,
exactly
22
200.,
2022.
A
Resolution,
the
ps3
forum
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
22-35
and
then
it's
the.
A
Moved
forward,
they
have
needed
to
adjust
the
scope
of
that
and
so
I'll
let
matt
go.
A
E
Okay,
yeah
they've
had
several
projects
going
on
over
there,
as
they
always
do.
E
And
one
of
the
projects
was
taking
utilities
and
putting
them
underground,
which
has
affected.
E
A
E
E
A
A
Down
july
1st,
because
well
so
that
yeah
at
the
library
online
in
the
lobby
here
at
city
hall,.
B
Off
the
garbage
and
park
drive
we're
expecting
a
small
handful.
I
would
say
at
this
point.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
So
there
are
sometimes
there
are
specific
rules
about
how
quickly
they
are.
In
this
case,
we
do
have.
A
A
person
that
has
been
nominated
by
the
mayor
to
take
mr
walters
place.
There
is
just
a
process.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
Is
fine?
There
are
some
prohibited
items
which
include
adoption
of
tax
rates
and
new
fees.
A
And
would
maybe
friday
at
noon
work
yeah?
Let's
not
forget,
it
is
optional
and.
