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
Okay,
if
we
are
ready
to
start
we'll,
go
ahead
and
jump
in
quick
reminder,
there
is
some
delicious
city
of
Bloomington
water
in
the
back.
So
should
you
get
thirsty
that
is
on
offer.
A
So
during
this,
like
we're
gonna
give
a
presentation.
You
can
feel
free
to
stop
myself
or
Christy
at
any
point,
to
ask
a
question
just
kind
of
indicate
that
you
have
one:
this
is
being
recorded
for
cats,
the
public
access
Channel.
That's
why
we
have
microphones,
even
though
they're
not
projecting
anything
they're
recording.
So
if
you
have
a
question,
if
you'd
be
so
kind
as
to
come
up
to
the
podium
so
that
we
can
get
it
into
the
microphone
and
then
someone
watching
this
later
can
hear
your
question
as
well.
A
Okay,
so
we're
gonna,
do
we're
gonna,
introduce
ourselves
we'll
talk
about
the
grant
program
for
a
little
bit
and
then
we'll
go
over
the
watersheds
in
Bloomington
some
practices
for
residential
storm
water
and
then
we'll
just
have
a
general
question
answer
for
any
lingering
questions.
We
didn't
cover
during
the
presentation,
okay
and
then
we
will
adjourn.
We
won't
keep
you
here
all
night.
A
This
is
Christy
Lindberg
she's,
our
stormwater
education,
specialist,
I'm,
Liz,
Carter
I'm,
the
ms4
program
coordinator
and
Catherine
Zager
is
our
assistant
director
for
environmental
division
of
CBU,
real,
quick
ms4.
That
doesn't
mean
anything
to
a
lot
of
people.
It
is
essentially
the
storm
sewer
system
of
Bloomington,
so
we
are
Christina
specifically,
but
also
Catherine.
Here
we
look
after
the
storm
system
and
try
to
keep
bad
things
out
of
it.
Keep
it
from
flooding
those
kinds
of
things.
A
A
A
Okay,
residential
stormwater
grants,
so
we
came
up
with
this
program
a
few
years
back
and
the
goal
of
it
is
to
address
residential
problems
in
neighborhoods,
folks
that
are
having
their
backyards
flood
they're,
having
erosion
problems.
As
seen
in
this
picture,
the
idea
was
that
we
could
give
small
grants
to
private
property
owners
and
help
them
solve
some
of
these
issues
and
as
much
as
possible
see
if
we
can
capture
some
storm
water
in
a
neighborhood
and
maybe
help
out
some
of
your
neighbors
as
well.
A
So
we've
been
running
this
program
for
the
past
couple
years
and
it's
just
a
real
small
scale
type
deal
and
last
year
we
had
19
applications
and
it
was
across
30
households.
So
we'll
get
into
this
a
little
bit
later,
but
you
can
partner
with
your
neighbors,
say:
there's
water
running
between
your
two
property
lines
and
it's
affecting
you.
Both
we
can
have
neighbors
partner
together
for
an
application.
In
fact,
we
really
encourage
that
because
the
more
like
bang
for
the
buck,
if
you
will
where
we
can
help
multiple
people,
that's
always
great.
A
We
awarded
10
projects
last
year.
Did
you
want
to
jump
in
Christy?
Sorry,
oh
good.
We
awarded
10
projects
last
year.
It
was,
they
were
all
different.
We
had
some
rain
Gardens
some
dry
creek
beds,
some
bios
whales
and
project
costs
between
1500
and
11
000
average
about
six
thousand.
So
that's
that's
a
question
we
get
a
lot
like
is
this
estimate
I
got
way
too
high
way
too
low?
Is
this
outside
your
scope?
So
this
is
kind
of
an
idea
of
where
these
grants
tend
to
fall.
B
Yeah
with
the
grants
and
the
amounts,
usually
what
we
see
is
dependent
upon
the
situation
that
you
have
and
how
many
buildings
are
involved.
It's
it
depends
really
say
one
house,
an
average
might
be
two
to
four
thousand
dollars:
two
houses.
You
can
double
that
and
then
go
from
there,
so
it
just
really
depends
on
the
situation
and
what
needs
to
be
done
sometimes
something
simple,
something
sometimes
something
more
complicated.
A
French
drain
on
somebody's
driveway,
where
it
slopes
towards
their
house,
the
water
is
coming
down
that
slope
and
getting
in
their
garage.
So
sometimes
it
really
is
just
like
a
little
bit
of
grading
some
grass
seed
and
in
a
drain.
If
we
can
fix
your
drainage
problems
that
simply
we're
really
excited
for
that.
A
So
to
be
eligible
for
this
grant
program,
it
must
be
a
single
family,
residential
property.
So
this
isn't
something
that
you
know
we're
giving
out
to
like
multi-family
apartment
buildings
or
anything
like
that.
You
must
pay
the
city
of
bloomington's
storm
water
fee.
If
you
wonder,
am
I
paying
that
stormwater
fee.
If
you
get
a
bill
from
the
Bloomington
utility,
the
city
of
Bloomington
utilities
you're
paying
that
fee,
you
must
be
the
owner
or
owners
if
there's
multiples.
Oh
sorry,.
D
Not
everyone
who
gets
a
bill
from
the
utilities
pays.
The
storm
water
fee.
Look
on
your
bill
and
if
you
see
the
storm
water
fee,
we
Supply
water
outside
of
the.
A
City:
okay,
sorry,
if
you're
in
the
city
limits
you
are
paying
this
for
more
yes,
okay,
my
bad
I
always
forget
that,
where
else
so
the
applicants
must
be
the
owner
or
owners
of
the
property.
So
this
is
going
to
exempt
folks
that
are
landlords
and
renting
to
somebody.
Typically,
the
parcels
also
must
be
contiguous.
So
if
you've
got
two
neighbors
and
you're
next
to
each
other,
that's
super.
A
Obviously
it
would
be
tricky
to
have
a
grant
where
there's
one
neighbor,
someone
who
didn't
want
to
participate
and
then
someone
on
the
other
side
right.
That
would
be
kind
of
odd.
So
as
much
as
you
can,
if
you
have
a
storm
water
issue
in
your
neighborhood,
that's
affecting
multiple
people
try
to
get
as
much
buy-in
as
you
can.
With
your
neighbors
around
you.
A
Okay,
so
application
instructions.
Our
role
in
this
is
very
much
Christy,
always
says
we're
kind
of
like
the
bank,
so
we
provide
grants
for
folks
and
we
come
and
do
a
couple
of
inspections.
We
sign
off.
We
pay
the
contractor,
but
this
is
very
much
resident
LED.
So
the
first
thing
you
would
do
to
apply
for
this
give
us
a
call
give
us
an
email.
We
can
talk
through
the
application
with
you.
A
If
you
need
any
extra
help
read
through
the
website
and
then
choose
a
contractor,
so
we
do
not
provide
a
list
of
contractors.
We
can't
do
that.
It
looks
like
you
know,
we're
playing
favorites
so
pick
out
a
contractor
fill
out.
The
application
provide
all
the
items
that
are
listed
on
there
and
you
just
go
ahead
and
apply
after
that.
We
review
projects
internally
and
award
them
shortly
thereafter,
so,
like
I,
said
very
much
resident
driven
only
because
we
can't
get
too
involved
in
these
projects.
A
Okay,
some
tips
for
choosing
a
contractor.
You
might
want
to
be
looking
for
contractors
who
are
licensed
and
bonded
insured.
Have
some
drainage
experience
ask
for
examples.
So
sometimes
you
see
General
Contractors
doing
this
sometimes
you're,
seeing
handyman
doing
these
grants,
sometimes
they're
landscapers,
if
you're
not
sure
like
that
they
are
up
for
this.
You
can
just
ask
for
past
work.
Experience,
pictures
stuff
like
this
that
they've
done
previously
and
then
also
you
can
always
feel
free
to
ask
for
references.
A
When
you
apply
for
the
app
for
this
Grant,
there
are
a
couple
things
that
we
want
you
to
attach.
So
most
of
the
application
is
just
really
basic
information.
Your
name
where
you
live
describe
the
problem
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
there
are
some
attachments
that
we're
looking
for
so
first
we're
looking
for
a
location
map.
If
you
guys
are
familiar
with
Elevate,
it's
the
gis
system
that
the
county
of
Monroe
County
hosts.
A
You
can
honestly
use
that
to
get
a
location
map
and
just
sort
of
show
your
property
lines
on
there
some
photographs
of
what's
going
on,
if
at
all
possible.
If
you
can
get
pictures
of
the
issue
when
it
is
raining
or
right
after
it's
rained,
obviously
those
are
going
to
be
like
the
the
most
visually
impactful
up
to
four,
and
please
don't
send
us
videos.
Our
system
cannot
handle
a
bunch
of
videos
and
then
just
a
plan
sketch.
So
the
one
on
the
screen
is
a
great
example.
A
A
On
this
guy
we
have
a
a
north-south
arrow,
that's
great
and
then
a
cost
estimate
broken
down
somewhat
by
activities
that
are
going
on.
So,
if
you're
looking
to
build
a
rain
Garden,
you
might
have
a
line
for
excavation.
You
might
have
a
line
for
some
under
drains.
You
might
have
a
line
for
landscaping.
So
typically
we
don't
want
to
just
see
a
lump
cost
estimate.
We
want
some
breakdown,
but
it
doesn't
need
to
be
like
down
to
the
every
you
know.
Every
plant
cost
me
12.50,
so
just
sort
of
a
general
breakdown.
A
Once
we
get
applications
in,
we
have
an
internal
staff
review.
It
will
be
some
of
the
engineers
here
at
CBU
and
then
the
staff
that
are
up
here
we
look
at
the
sketch.
We
look
at
you
know
the
drainage
area.
We
look
at
severity
of
the
problem,
that's
going
on
there
and
we
also
are
looking
at
this
proposed
solution.
A
Is
it
going
to
be
effective
after
we
review
internally,
we
have
a
Review
Committee
that
goes
through
the
projects,
and
that
does
include
a
member
of
the
utility
Service
Board
since
they're
the
ones
that
allocate
the
money
we
have.
One
of
them
come
in
with
us.
When
we
do
final
reviews,
we
do
we
go
through
the
application
materials
again
and
we
look
at
a
couple.
Other
items
too.
This
program
tends
to
favor
lower
income
neighborhoods.
It
tends
to
We
tend
to
prefer
projects
that
serve
multiple
people
if
at
all
possible.
A
We
also
just
look
at
is
this
project
in
a
place
that
we
know
there's
storm
water
issues
and
this
project
could
affect
people
down
Downstream
of
them.
So
if
putting
a
rain
Garden
in
your
backyard
is
going
to
help
another
20
folks
down
the
street,
that's
going
to
have
a
bigger
impact.
That
is
not
to
say
that
we
have
not
issued
grants
for
folks
that
don't
you
know
that
don't
have
multiple
Properties
or
that
don't
save
20
of
their
neighbors
down
the
road.
But
that
is
where
the
preference
generally
goes.
A
Okay,
so
once
we
have
once
we
do
a
review
and
we
pick
the
projects
that
we're
going
to
fund,
we
have
a
grant
agreement
that
the
grantees
come
in
and
sign,
and
then
we
do
a
couple
of
site
visits,
we're
doing
it
slightly
different
this
year,
we'll
come
out
mid
project
just
to
see
how
it's
going
beginning
to
Mid.
We
want
to
see
kind
of
what
we're
starting
with,
and
then
we
come
out
again
at
the
end,
just
to
make
sure
that
everything
looks
good.
A
We
realize
that
homeowners
aren't
going
to
maybe
evaluate
a
contractor's
work
as
well
as
we
do.
Since
we
see
this
stuff
all
the
time.
Once
we've
done
the
final
site
visit,
we
pay
the
contractor
their
invoice
and
then
there
is
a
five-year
maintenance
agreement
the
contractor
has
with
the
homeowner.
So
if,
if
what
they
put
in
fails
or
the
plantings
all
die,
you
know
for
no
reason.
A
You
have
a
maintenance
agreement
in
there,
okay
on
to
Christy,
so
that
is
about
that
is
basically
an
overview
of
our
grant
program
and
Chrissy's
going
to
talk
more
about
just
like
storm
water
and
watersheds
and
kind
of
why
this
is
important
and
if
you
guys
have
any
questions
about
the
grant
program
at
this
point,
you're
welcome
to
ask
them.
If
you'd
like
to
wait
till
Christy's
done,
that's
fine.
B
A
Question
so
application
the
deadline
is
September
1st,
but
how
we're
doing
this
is
any
application
that
doesn't
get
funded
stays
in
the
queue
for
the
next
year.
So
maybe
there
were
eight
projects
ahead
of
you
that
were
just
really
really
good,
we'll
look
at
it
again
next
year,
maybe
that
year,
not
so
many
great
projects
and
you've
bumped
to
the
top
of
the
line.
A
F
A
You
already
submitted
I
know
in
the
past.
Our
deadline
was
in
the
it
was
earlier
in
the
year.
We've
moved
it
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
but
if
you've
already
submitted
you're
in
the
queue-
and
we
will
review
it
in
September,
if
you
want
to
add
any
additional
information-
or
you
know
if
you
were
like
in
a
rush
to
get
submitted
and
you're
like
I,
actually
would
like
to
add
a
couple.
Pictures
you're
welcome
to
do
that
too,
but
you
are
submitted
and
you
will
be
in
the
review
for
this
year.
Okay,.
A
I,
don't
it
doesn't
knock
you
out,
I
think
the
issue
becomes
CBU
paying
for
something
that
happened
before
the
grant
was
awarded
right.
Yeah.
D
Right
literally
like,
if
you
do,
if
you
do
work,
that's
not
going
to
knock
you
out
of
getting
a
grant.
It's
not
really
going
to.
You
know
change
your
application
too
much.
If
it
does
change.
What's
in
your
application,
you
know
you
can
reach
out
to
us
and
explain,
like
hey
I,
had
to
make
some
changes.
I'd
like
to
make
some
changes
to
my
initial
application.
D
However,
we
can't
pay
for
any
work
that
was
done
before
the
grant
was
awarded.
F
B
Any
base
point
folks
heard
about
the
program
and
then
this
meeting
tonight,
because
we
try
to
get
the
word
out
through
press
releases
and
Facebook
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
who
heard
about
it
through
press
release,
Facebook
neighborhood
call
out
neighborhood,
good
housing
and
neighborhood
development
yeah.
It's
a
good
cross
section
thanks
yeah.
We
just
want
to
know
what's
successful.
G
G
That's
how
I
heard
about
it
on
my
bill,
but
a
lot
of
people
don't
get
the
hard
copy
of
their
bill
anymore.
So
I
went
around
my
neighborhood
I
live
I.
Have
several
questions:
I
live
in
Sherwood
green,
which
is
condos
four
condos
to
a
building
two
buildings
two
years
ago
on
right
before
Father's,
Day,
completely
flooded
cost
a
lot
of
money,
a
lot
of
Heartache.
G
A
G
A
Great
question
great
question:
maybe
10
day
or
engineering
to
start
I've
talked
to
Mr
peten.
Okay,
Mr
peden
is
the
best,
so
he
didn't
get
anything
done.
No
so
yeah
he
Mr
peden.
What
he
tends
to
do
is
he's
one
of
the
engineers,
so
they
tend
to
do
like
new
infrastructure
projects.
So
I
think
this
would
be
an
issue
for
transmission
distribution.
A
The
gentleman
in
charge
of
that
the
assistant
director
for
that
group
is
James,
Hall,
James,
Hall,
James
Hall,
like
Hall
Monitor,
and
if,
if
you
want
to
reach
out
to
him-
and
if
you
would
like
to
as
all
of
our
contact
information
is
on
you
have
it
on
like
your
business
card
and
stuff,
you
wanna.
If
you
wanted
to
reach
out
to
us
just
we
could
give
you
his
contact
information
if
you
grabbed
a
business
card,
so
yeah
the
kind
of
the
maintenance
of
the
system.
A
G
A
So
I
mean
that
that
we
do
pursue
projects
like
that
in
the
city
you
know.
Sometimes
we
need
to
up
the
the
drain
size.
It's
not
something
we're
probably
going
to
fix
next
week,
but
it
is
something
we
can
re-up
to
James
into
Phil's
attention,
because
that
is
a
partnership
kind
of
between
the
two
of
them.
If
they
need
to
upgrade
the
infrastructure
for
an
entire
neighborhood.
G
H
This
young
lady,
here
we
we
live
in
the
same
four
Plex.
Well,
you
don't
live
there,
but
we
own
it
and
it
it
got
three
inches
within
our
condo
and
just
we
had
beautiful
flooring
with
bamboo
it
ruined
it
and
the
whole
rehab
was
fifty
thousand
dollars.
That's
what
she
was
saying
and
in
a
a
month
later,
I
have
this
guy
walking
out
in
there
it's
a
it's
a
knee
deep.
H
It
should
never
be
that
that
deep,
of
course
it
was
another
two
feet
during
that
flood,
but
they
say:
oh
well,
that's
fine,
but
it
wasn't
raining
that
hard,
then
and
I
understand
that
the
HOA
was
this
is
their
problem,
but
I
have
a
a
map
here
where
it
shows
a
24
inch
coming
to
the
end
and
then
a
six
inch
line
coming
from
that
to
feed
into
ours,
which
should
have
never
been,
but
that's,
okay,
but
the
the
structure
where
the
24
inch
it
comes
into
it's
piece
of
garbage:
it's
got
a
a
couple
blocks
out
and
and
then,
if
it
was
to
fill
up,
it
can't
run
out
of
there.
H
So
you
say:
well,
that's
that's
your
problem.
That's
that's
all
I
get,
and
but
it's
not
it
something
far
down
the
line
stopped
up
and
out
on
Westminster.
It
was
like
two
to
three
feet
deep
there
and
then
then
it
was
five
feet
but
where
we're
at
so
if
it
gets
clogged
up
in
yours,
further
down
the
line
it
backs
up
on
us
and
and
then
we're
toast
it's
it's
not
a
good
thing.
I
don't
know
if
they
can
clean
those
out
periodically
or
what
that.
H
H
E
A
H
A
A
I
So
I
have
a
couple
questions.
Yes,
so
in
our
neighborhood
there's
an
area
where
there's
a
big
drainage
problem,
but
in
one
area
there's
a
lot
of
dead
trees
and
dead
logs
and
limbs
that
also
clog
up.
So
when
we
make
the
estimate,
if
that's
not
something
that,
if
we
need
like
say
a
subcontractor
or
someone
who
does
trees,
do
you
add
that
into
the
estimate
or
how
does
that
work?.
A
Think
we
see
those
as
part
of
estimates.
It
kind
of
depends
on
scope
right
if
it
turns
into
an
urban
forestry
project,
that's
going
to
be
kind
of
separate,
but
if
there
are
just
like
some
trees
that
we
need
to
cut
down
or
some
Dead
items
that
are
going
to
end
up,
clogging
your
drainage,
Swale
system,
whatever
you've
got
then
yeah.
We
see
that
included
so.
I
A
I
A
Yeah,
because
not
everyone-
that's
good
at
building
like
a
Dry
Creek
bed
is
necessarily
going
to
be
comfortable.
Cutting
a
tree
down.
I
Right
and
then
the
same
thing,
if
you
wanted
new
trees
added,
you
could
just
put
that
cost
in
for
somewhere
else.
Then.
The
other
question
is
so
in
my
understanding
that
you
don't
review
any
applications,
then
until
September
1st,
so
does
it
matter
how
quickly
you
get
your
application
in
or
you're
just
going
to
review,
all
of
them
September
1st.
B
A
A
A
All
know
how
Bloomington
Works
we
have
enough
time
to
really
focus
on
this,
so
our
our
goal
is
to
have
these
grants
turned
out
a
couple
weeks.
A
G
D
D
This
is
a
learning
through
experience
thing
that
we've
decided
on
when
we
had
the
earlier
deadline.
We
had.
Our
staff
was
really
busy.
We
had
a
longer
process
and
we
found
that
we
were
taking
a
really
long
time
to
get
back
to
applicants,
and
so
this
way,
like
Liz,
said
we'll
we'll
be
able
to
turn
it
out
a
little
faster.
K
Hello
there
first
of
all,
I
want
to
commend
you
for
offering
any
kind
of
program
like
this,
because
it's
very
very
helpful
and
second
just
a
couple
questions
who
does
the
email
go
to
to
storm
water
at
bloomington.gov?
All
three.
A
K
And
the
other
item
was,
you
mentioned
some
kind
of
a
five-year
warranty
or
guarantee.
So
what
is
that
about?
Is
that
the
person's?
Is
it
your
responsibility
as
someone
who's,
hiring
someone
to
work
to
say,
hey
I,
need
you
to
guarantee
this
for
five
years.
Is
that
is
that
what
that
was
about
not
trying
to
understand
that.
D
So
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
we
I
don't
think
we
require
that
contractors
have
a
five-year
warranty
period.
D
I
would
highly
suggest
that
if
you're
looking
at
contractors-
but
we
do
ask
that
trying
to
remember
the
grant
specifically
but
I-
think
there
is
a
five-year
period
in
which
we
ask
for
continued
maintenance
of
the
infrastructure.
So.
A
B
M
E
F
L
M
You
know
you've
postponed
a
date
because
of
things
you
now
understand,
but
I
would
like
you
to
think
about
being
sensitive
to
people
who
met
a
deadline
and
I
heard
somebody.
You
know
their
house
is
flooding
they're
ready
to
go
and
they
don't
want,
and
even
though
contractors
may
be
more
available
or
better
time,
I
sense
they're
ready
to
go
now.
M
I'm
not
going
to
ask
you
know:
I,
don't
want
an
answer
now,
but
I
would
like
you
to
reconsider
and
I
think
you
know
there
might
be
some
Middle
Ground
like
take
half
the
funds
or
a
certain
amount
of
the
funds.
Take
a
look
at
the
people
that,
in
good
faith,
met
a
deadline.
They
understood
to
be
to
get
their
problem
solved
and
these
things
go
back
into
the
hopper
anyway.
M
So
if
it
looks
really
good
to
you,
I'd
like
you
to
consider
looking
at
them
and
if
you
only
have
two,
you
know
you
I
understand
you're
concern
about,
but
you
only
have
two
so
I'd
like
you
to
consider
looking
at
them.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
Would
you
yes
I
just
really
like
to
say.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
and
please
more
people
do
comment.
We
need
to
hear
from
you.
We
definitely
we
need
to
hear
from
you
because
I
hear
these
concerns
every
day
and
I
go
home
to
them
as
well.
It's
a
challenge
out
there.
It's
a
challenge
amongst
our
whole
community
and
Beyond.
B
Our
climate
is
changing
we're
getting
a
lot
more
rain,
a
lot
quicker,
a
lot
harder
and
we're
getting
periods
of
drought
and
that's
causing
some
challenges
out
there.
It's
causing
some
challenges
to
our
built
environment,
as
you
can
see
erosion
flooding
a
lot
of
the
infrastructure
you
see
out.
There
currently
has
been
designed
to
Old
standards
and
now
they're,
starting
to
design
it
to
current
standards.
But
that
does
take
time.
So
we
also
appreciate
your
patience
during
this
transition
period
as
we
are
adjusting
to
our
changing
climate.
C
A
A
Quick
message
on
your
report:
your
report
is
the
only
way
to
honestly
report
anonymously
to
the
city,
so
you
can
submit
your
report
and
not
tell
us
who
you
are
almost
every
other
form
of
contact
is
subject
to
public
records
request.
So
if
you
would
like
to
make
an
anonymous
complaint,
I
would
suggest
use
your
report.
However,
if
you
do
submit
anonymously,
we
cannot
follow
up
with
you.
So
if
you
are
popping
a
you
report
in
there,
you
got
a
drainage
problem
and
you
get
frustrated
that
the
staff
member
just
closes
it
checked.
A
It
didn't
see
anything
if
they
don't
have
contact
information
for
you.
They
can't
follow
up
with
you.
So
if
you're
putting
in
your
report-
and
you
want
to
have
an
ongoing
dialogue
with
staff,
please
make
sure
that
you
provide
an
email
address
or
phone
number
for
them
to
reach
out
to
you.
Okay,
awesome,
sorry,.
B
B
And
yeah
we've
just
talked
about
our
changing
climate,
but
these
types
of
things
may
be
becoming
more
frequent.
B
B
B
B
We
also
have
other
programs.
Besides
the
residential
stormwater
grants
that
help
with
storm
water.
We
have
adaptive
drains.
Some
of
you
might
be
interested
in
signing
up
for
that.
We
have
storm
drain
marking
where
we
ask
people
not
to
dump
into
these,
because
they
do
drain
to
our
natural
water
wave.
We
have
stormwater
education
series
and
we
are
starting
to
put
together
more
and
more
videos
and
those
are
all
online
too.
We
actually
have
our
own
YouTube
station,
so
we're
kind
of
excited
about
that.
B
So
we
provide
some
really
good
educational
resources
out
there
as
well
yeah
and
some
of
the
practices
you're
probably
wondering
well
what
the
heck
can
we
do?
B
One
of
the
main
ones
that
you
may
have
even
heard
of
are
called
rain
Gardens
and
they
are
lovely
little
depressions
in
the
ground
that
are
created
and
can
include
amended
soils.
Basically
how
they
work
is
the
water
can
flow
from
either
your
gutter
system
downspouts
and
then
across
the
land
and
then
into
this
lower
level.
B
That's
why
we
talk
about
grading
depression
in
the
Earth,
and
another
thing
is
that
we
really
like
to
see
these
planted
with
native
plants,
I'm,
not
sure
who's
all
familiar
with
native
plants,
but
their
design
quote
unquote
to
work
with
are
environment
where
we
live
and
they
have
deeper
Roots.
They
can
handle
a
lot
of
rain.
They
can
handle
a
lot
of
drought
depending
on
where
they're
planted
and
they
can
bring
that
water
down.
B
In
addition
to
rain
Gardens,
actually
cats
are
real
good
person
to
ask
about
rain
Gardens
too
she's
good
background
in
that
bios
whales
are
basically
like
a
linear
rain
Garden.
If
you
will
some
of
these
require
under
drains
to
to
drain
to
a
lower
area.
B
Dry
creek
beds,
we
like
dry
creek
beds,
but
we
don't
want
to
see
people's
whole
entire
yards
covered
in
stone.
So
we
encourage
that
also
a
nature
of
plants
are
involved.
They
can
slow
down
the
water
in
between.
Actually
these
logs
were
planted
with
native
plants,
it
came
up
later
and
there
again
help
with
slowing
down
the
water
infiltrating
filtering
it's
good
stuff.
Let
nature
work
for
you,
that's
why
it's
there.
B
Bio
Retention
Ponds
starting
to
see
more
of
these,
and
then
we
can
do
retention
on
maintenance
on
retention
and
detention
ponds.
Retention
Ponds
are
built
to
hold
the
water
for
a
longer
period
of
time
than
just
detention.
Ponds
that
detain
it
there
again
native
plants
all
around
the
circumference
and
inside
native
plants
can
also
the
teller
vegetation
can
also
help
keep
geese
away
and
keep
the
pond
cleaner
because
we
deal
with
also
besides
just
water,
quantity,
water,
quality.
B
B
E
A
To
ask
it's
the
second
one,
because
so
the
idea
for
this
is
that
is
that
really
cbus
involvement
is
somewhat
limited
right.
We
look
at
applications,
we
review
them,
we
fund
them,
we
check
them
at
the
end.
We
don't
get
terribly
involved
with
the
like
giving
advice.
A
I
would
say
it's
the
kind
of
thing.
If
you
wanted
to
give
us
a
call
and
say
hey,
do
you
think
this
might
work
I
mean
we
can
have
kind
of
a
casual
chat
about
it?
Okay,
but
yeah
in
terms
of
like
us
coming
out.
Looking
at
your
property
and
saying
you
know
what
you
should
do,
you
should
have
a
rain
Garden
that
should
be
this
size
and
here's
what
you
should
plant.
That's
just
not
our
role
in
this
and
that
honestly,
is
because
it's
private
property.
That's
fine!
Thank
you.
I
A
So
that
it
kind
that's
between
you
and
the
contractor,
so
the
expectation
is
that
whatever's
put
in
there
is
maintained.
So
in
some
cases
okay,
Christy
showed,
for
example,
this
Dry
Creek
bed.
This
guy
is
not
going
to
be
very
hard
to
maintain
it's
a
lot
of
rock
for
the
most
part,
so
like
the
maintenance
on
that's
not
going
to
be
terribly
difficult.
In
that
case,
you
were
not
probably
going
to
see
a
homeowner.
Have
the
contractor
do
maintenance
for
them
over
time,
because
this
is
a
pretty
simple
guy.
A
When
we
get
into
you
know
a
rain
Garden,
the
biggest
maintenance
is
the
is
dealing
with
the
plants,
so
the
question
of
who
maintains
it
that's
really
kind
of
between
the
homeowner
and
the
contractor.
If
you
want
the
contract
to
maintain
it,
that's
fine.
If
you'd
like
to
maintain
it
yourself,
you
just
like
gardening.
Also
fine,
we
just
ask
that
it
is
maintained
for
for
the
five-year
period.
I
A
I
think
it
kind
of
depends
on
what
we
mean
by
not
working
I,
don't
know
cat.
What
do
you.
I
A
Also,
practically
speaking,
I
don't
think
we've
been
checking.
Have
we
been
checking
five
years
later,
I,
don't
think
so.
I
think
this
is
one
of
these
things
that
if,
if
I
had
a
staff
of
10
people,
we
might
go
check,
make
sure
everything's
looking
good
five
years
later,
but
I
have
a
staff
of
three
people
so
until
I
have
we
honestly,
we
just
don't
have
the
staff
to
come
out
and
check
on
these
things.
I'm
just.
A
A
Think
we're
just
asking
you
to
asking
you
in
Goodwill
to
take
care
of
it
and
if
you
don't,
we
may
never
know
so.
A
It's
dependent
yeah,
no,
it's
totally
dependent
on
the
situation.
We
we
went
and
saw
a
Dry
Creek
bed
the
other
day
that
I
was
really
sad
about
the
amount
of
rock,
but
a
the
entire.
The
area
was
very
much
shaded,
so
only
limited
vegetation
was
going
to
grow
there
and
honestly
the
water
was
getting
so
channelized.
It
was
just
moving
so
quickly.
You
know
along
this
like
ditch
area,
it
had
to
be
Rock
like
I,
don't
know
the
plants
would
get
mowed
up.
A
You
know
mowed
over
by
the
flow,
so
there
are
situations
where
it
totally
it
totally
works.
We
just
would
always
prefer
it
was.
It
was
green,
but.
B
Just
like
to
re-emphasize
that
we
have
a
lot
of
good
resources
out
there
on
the
website,
a
lot
of
good
FAQs,
a
lot
of
good
videos,
so
on
and
so
forth.
Links
to
other
sites
that
are
helpful
with
stormwater
practices.
So
I
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
those
before
you
even
go
out
and
start
talking
with
contractors,
and
so
on
so
forth,
educate
yourself,
first
and
then
you'll
be
more
readily
knowledgeable
to
to
work
with
the
others
on
it.
It
just
helps
helps
to
be
proactive.
D
A
There
we
do
only
cover
materials.
If
you
decide
so
we're
not
gonna.
We
will
not
pay
you
for
the
labor
on
your
house,
but
if,
let's
say
like
I,
said
you're
an
avid
Gardener
and
you
are
just
jazzed
to
build
a
rain
garden
and
you
want
us
to
pay
for
the
plants
and
the
dirt,
we
will
fund
that
if
you
want
to
do
it
yourself,
that's
totally
fine.
A
We've
done
it.
Yeah.
A
So
so,
if
you,
if
you
were
wanting
to
do
something
like
that,
you
know
feel
free
to
submit
an
application,
and
especially
if
you're
doing
it
yourself,
please
don't
feel
like
any
project
is
too
small.
Okay,.
G
A
So
it
depends.
There
hits
a
point,
though,
where
something
becomes
so
big
that
we
start
questioning.
Do
we
have
an
infrastructure
problem
right
so
like
we're
talking
about
storm
drains
flooding
this
fourplex
over
in
Sherwood
green?
When
we
see
like
too
many
properties
coming
together,
we
start
wondering:
do
we
need
to
look
at
the
engineering
of
the
system
near
this,
because
this
is
a
lot.
A
I
mean
to
be
perfectly
honest
with
you,
as
Christy
was
talking
about
climate
is
changing
we're
having
more
rain
events,
and
all
this
this
program
is
like
kind
of
a
Band-Aid
on
a
much
larger
Pro
like
problem.
Of
course,
it's
great
when
we
can
help
out
four
or
five
households
at
a
time
it's
better
than
not
but
big
picture.
A
What
CBU
is
pursuing
is
on
such
a
larger
scale,
so
yeah,
if
you
want
to
reach
out
to
us,
tell
us
kind
of
what's
going
on.
If
you
think
the
project
is
too
big,
it
might
be
something
we
need
to
take
to
our
engineering
team
and
say
hey.
They
seem
to
have
some
real
problems
over
here.
Can
we
talk
about
this
so
yeah.
D
Yeah
it's
this
program.
You
know,
we've
definitely
run
into
projects
where
the
scope
was
too
big
for
this
program,
but
it
is
informative
for
us
to
know
what
problems
are
out
there.
Yeah.
A
Because,
honestly,
you
know
we're
trying
to
collect
data
to
understand
where
the
biggest
drainage
problems
are
in
the
city,
so
that
we
can
prioritize
them.
One
of
those
one
of
the
data
points
we
look
at
is
where
we
get
applications
for
the
residential
stormwater
grant
program.
If
we're
seeing
a
huge
concentration
of
Grant
applications
in
one
section
of
the
city,
they
can
kind
of
tell
us.
A
We
think
we
have
an
issue
over
here,
so
yeah
we're
looking
at
so
many
approaches
for
for
Bloomington
and
to
deal
with
our
flooding
to
deal
with
our
storm
water
quality.
A
But
this
is
an
important
one
and
yeah.
If
you
think
it's
too
big,
let
us
know
what's
going
on
because
we
might
be
interested
or
the
engineers
might
be
interested.
A
So
I
think
we
would
give
you
some
feedback
partly
too,
because
once
we
start
reviewing
these
for
for
funding,
we
have
Engineers
involved.
None
of
us
up
here
are
Engineers,
you
know.
So,
if
our,
if
Phil
peden
our
engineer,
if
he
looks
at
this-
and
he
says
this
isn't
possible-
the
flow's
going
the
wrong
way,
I
think
we
would
provide
you
that
feedback
so
that,
if
you
wanted
to
revise
your
application
for
the
next
year,
you'd
have
that
opportunity.
A
A
Okay,
we'll
stick
around
for
a
little
bit
after.
If
anybody
has
questions
for
us
that
they
didn't
want
to
ask
in
front
of
the
group,
I
totally
get
that
this
is
Christy
I'm
Liz.
This
is
Catherine,
just
a
reminder
and
yeah.
If
you
want
to
pop
up
and
and
ask
us
anything,
we'll
hang
around,
otherwise,
just
make
sure
that
you
signed
in
we
had
materials
on
the
table
if
anyone
needed
to
grab
it
on
the
way
out,
and
we
look
forward
to
your
applications.
