Description
December 20, 2021 Bloomington Minnesota City Council Meeting
A
A
A
A
Present
all
seven
members
of
the
bloomington
city
council
are
on
this
call
this
evening
or
on
the
part
of
the
meeting
this
evening.
Next
up
is
our
approval
of
agenda
council,
anything
to
add
or
subtract.
If
you
could,
let
me
know,
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
a
couple
of
things.
First
of
all,
we
have
a
very
big
consent
agenda
with
22
different
items
in
the
consent
agenda
under
hearings
and
resolutions.
A
A
So
if
you're
tuned
in
or
if
you're
looking
for
more
information
on
that,
it
will
simply
be
continued
and
we'll
take
it
up
on
january
24th
and
then
once
we
get
into
our
organizational
business
on
item
8,
we
do
have
a
number
of
items
on
item
8
as
well.
We
won't
be
taking
public
comment
or
public
feedback
on
any
of
those.
A
E
A
Aye
mayor
aye
motion
carries
7-0
next
on
the
agenda
is
item
for
our
public
comment
period.
It
is
a
20-minute
period
that
we
set
aside
at
each
council
meeting
to
give
the
folks
a
chance
to
address
the
council
on
items
not
on
tonight's
agenda.
We
break
it
down
into
two
different
pieces.
The
first
part
is
a
response
to
the
prior
meetings.
Public
comments.
That's
item
4.1,
mr
verbruge.
A
Council,
any
questions
on
that
hearing.
None
we'll
go
to
item
4.2,
which
is
a
public
comment
period.
As
I
said,
it's
a
20-minute
period
that
we
set
aside
at
each
meeting
for
residents
to
come
forward
to
talk
to
the
council
on
items
not
on
tonight's
agenda.
We
do
limit
folks
to
five
minutes
to
make
sure
it's
nice
and
fair
for
everyone
and,
as
we
have
talked
about
in
the
past,
it's
not
a
back
and
forth
between
council
and
and
in
residence.
It's
an
opportunity
for
the
council
to
listen.
A
Although
I
know,
as
we
get
into
this
our
speaker
tonight,
ms
ness,
who
called
ahead.
I
know
the
last
couple
of
meetings.
Council,
member
nelson
has
had
some
follow-up
questions.
Some
clarification
questions.
So,
as
you
finish
your
remarks
tonight,
if
you
could
allow
council
member
nelson
to
to
ask
some
questions
specific
to
some
of
the
the
items
you're
bringing
forward.
G
Thanks
tonight
I
am
addressing
comments
made
by
the
city
and
staff
of
8201
park
on
october
7th
city.
We
are
aware
of
circumstances
and
reasons.
Supposedly
these
people
were
there
and
I'm
not
saying
it
is
right,
but
an
indication
of
what
they
were
accomplishing.
This
comment
was
not
appreciated.
Preschool
and
school
age
on
the
playground
is
not
safe
staff.
G
One
in
the
summer
of
2018
miss
ness
took
some
of
their
pictures
and
asked
them
to
point
to
their
house
and
the
kids
ran
to
staff,
and
they
were
afraid
because
they
had
heard
about
what
was
going
on
these
neighborhood
children,
who
say
hi
asked
me
to
toss
them.
Their
ball
come
to
me
when
I
am
walking
or
with
or
without
the
grandchildren
were
afraid
because
they
had
heard
about
what
is
going
on
again.
G
I
did
not
take
their
pictures,
and
I
pointed
to
my
house,
which
is
behind
their
houses,
staff
won
and
then
the
mom
one
was
very
reluctant
to
file
a
police
report.
She
had
the
courage,
but
after
some
time
she
was
afraid
this
may
come
and
hurt
her.
She
left
her
home
because
they
heard
about
what
has
been
going
on.
G
She
left
the
state
she
refused
to
give
us
her
address
again
the
comment
because
they
heard
about
what
has
been
going
on
mom
one
and
another
mom
two
said
they
moved
because
of
the
lack
of
maintenance
on
the
houses.
They
were
renting
example,
mom,
two
called
the
city
because
the
house
had
no
heat
and
was
flooded.
The
city
told
mom
too
that
there
was
not
a
rental
license
and
therefore
the
city
could
not
help
staff
won.
G
Ms
ness
was
out
in
the
street
taking
pictures
she's
sitting
outside
stalking,
our
parents
and
people
feel
harassed
and
intimidated.
By
this
I
was
not.
I
was
inside
my
car
in
a
neighbor's
driveway
over
400
feet
away.
Staff
won
some
of
our
parents
came
to
me.
We
will
pull
our
kids
away
unless
you
hire
an
armed
security
guard.
G
Yet,
while
I'm
at
the
playground
with
the
grandchildren,
the
school
leaves
three
students
who
are
trying
to
learn
how
to
ride
a
bike
alone,
no
parent
or
teacher
in
sight
at
the
playground.
While
I
am
there
staff
one
running
a
school
with
130
students
is
tough,
and
yet
there
were
plans
to
add
to
the
school
and
the
plans
were
approved
staff
one
we
had
to
lock
down
drill
a
few
weeks
ago.
G
G
City
ness
frost
submitted
the
document
to
the
city,
questioning
the
city's
policy
of
the
uses
of
parks.
All
of
us
can
go
through
a
whole
litany
of
ideas
and
thoughts
and
motives
for
doing
that,
and
I
don't
find
any
of
those
motives
very
satisfying
or
even
agreeable.
The
city
negative
comment
is
not
appropriate.
G
As
I
mentioned
previously,
the
police
were
there
and
left
and
did
not
report
observing
frightened
students,
city
commons
figure
out.
If
there
are
solutions
so
that
all
citizens
in
bloomington
all
people
visiting
bloomington,
feel
safe
and
secure,
the
city
chose
to
pass
an
unconstitutional
city
code
restricting
photography
and
yet
never
addressed
the
safety
of
allowing
a
school
to
use
a
playground
with
preschool
children
city.
Our
staff
has
been
working
with
them.
The
city
is
working
with
the
private
business
and
not
the
public
concerning
the
use
of
the
public
playground
city.
G
A
H
H
G
G
With
if
I'm
recollecting
crack
correctly
that
day,
three
grandchildren
and
the
attorney
and
we
were
using
the
park,
we
were
using
the
park,
I
mean
like
if
it
was
raining,
it
was
raining
and
the
kids
saw
it
was
raining.
The
school
would
have
to
make
another
choice
for
using
the
playground
for
recess.
C
H
That's
and
then
in
in
this
time
that
you
were
there,
you
indicated
that
you
were
documenting
conditions,
and,
and
can
you
talk
to
what
type
of
camera
did
your
attorney
have
with
him?
Was
it
not
only
like
a
make
and
model,
but
just
like
was
it
a?
Was
it
his
phone?
Was
it
his?
Was
it
a
polaroid?
Was
it
like
an
actual
camera
with
a
body
and
a
lens?
What
what
camera
did
he
bring?
What
type
of
camera
did
he
bring
with.
H
G
Not
exactly
like,
I
think
I
spoke
to
it
before,
where
I
would
try
to
get
to
the
park
before.
I
would
think
that
they
would
have
recess
and
yet
they'd
be
on
the
playground.
So
no
that's
why
the
attorney
did
that
same
day.
Come
to
the
city
council
that
night
and
say
when
is
the
park
available
to
the
public
and
if
I'm
remembering
correctly,
the
mayor
said
anytime,
they
want
to
use
it.
G
So
there
was
no
no
time
you
know
getting
children
ready
to
go
to
the
park.
It's
you
know
it's
a
task,
and
then
you
know
you're
heading
there
in
the
house
and
then
coming
out,
and
it's
like
what
you
know.
I
thought
that
they
would
be
out
later
today.
I
thought
that
you
know
and
again
there
was
only
two
times
that
I
was
at
the
park
when
they
were
using
the
park.
I
had
you
know
not
been
at
the
playground
while
they
were
using
the
playground.
G
H
G
The
use
by
the
school
was
so
frequent
that
when
I
you
know,
the
kids
need
large
muscle
activity
that
wasn't
happening.
We
were
doing
a
lot
of
seeing
the
ducks
and
it's
not
right.
You
know
it's
like.
We
should
be
able
to
use
the
public
park
and
it
was
inappropriate
for
for
me
to
have
detectives
at
my
house
asking
me
if
I
could
use
another
park.
If
I
could
go
to
another
time
and
it's
like
I
was,
and
that
was
wrong
I
shouldn't
have.
G
I
should
have
been
able
to
use
the
park,
it
was
it's
a
public
park.
I
shouldn't
have
been
asked
if
I
could
use
it
another
time
and
yet
I
had
been,
I
had
been
taking
the
kids,
you
know
in
the
wagon,
when
I
could.
You
know,
depending
on
how
many
kids
I
had
going
to
two
other
parks,
were
quite
a
distance
away.
G
G
You've
got
little
children
using
the
park
when
there's
multiple
school-age
children
and
there
isn't
laws
but
they're
regulations.
The
state
and
I've
sent
them
to
you
guys
before
the
various
regulations,
where
the
city
where
the
school
districts
are
required.
I'm
doing
this
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
the
schools
are
required
to
separate
the
young
children
from
the
fifth
graders.
They
can't
be
on
the
playground
at
the
same
time,
they're
supposed
to
be
separated.
G
H
G
It's
a
private
business,
and
so
there
is
no
agreement
between
the
city-
and
you
know,
unlike
a
lot
of
people,
bring
up
seven
hills
academy
and
their
use
of
the
what
is
considered
a
public
playground.
There
is
an
agreement
between
the
school
and
the
city
to
have
constructed
that
so
that
they
would
have
it
for
their
school
and
that
the
public
would
be
able
to
use
it.
G
It's
cedar,
valley's,
private
property
that
we
are
able
to
use
because
we
constructed
a
playground,
it's
kind
of
like
the
field
behind
daryl
farooq,
that
is
a
smith
park
field.
It
belongs
to
daryl
fruit,
but
we
constructed
it.
We
paid
for
the
lights,
and
so
it's
a
shared
use
and
that's
a
similar
board.
The
playground
is
100
city
property.
G
G
H
And
just
a
quick
question
for
the
city
manager,
because
maybe
maybe
he'll
know
just
trying
to
get
my
head
around
this
issue-
is
we
have
a
number
of
playgrounds
throughout
the
city
adjacent
to
schools?
Many
of
them
are
joint
partnerships
between
the
city
and
the
school
district,
and
are
there
restrictions
on
the
use
of
neighbors
of
that
park
during
the
day
or
during
school
hours
or
after
school
hours?.
F
H
G
There's
there's
no
agreement
with
the
playground
and
that
was
discussed
in
when
they
were
the
planning
commission
had
you
had
it
as
a
condition
that
they
had
their
own
playground
and
then
it
was
the
mayor
said
no,
they
can
just
use
the
smith
park
playground
and
then
someone
said
well.
We
need
to
update
the
joint
use
agreement.
It
does
not
include
the
playground,
it
does
not
include
the
park.
It
includes.
G
The
fields
includes
the
multi-purpose
field
that
they
own
and
then
includes
the
two
ball
fields
that
we
own
and
then
the
two
parking
lots.
That
is
what
the
agreement
is,
does
not
include
our
playground
or
our
park
itself
and
then
the
school
specifically
they
do
have
signs
out.
That
say
when
school
is
in
session
or
school
is
using
the
playground
that
the
public
can't
use
the
playground.
Those
signs
are
at
the
each
of
the
bloomington
schools
playgrounds,
and
I
think
I've
sent
that
too
and
an
attachment.
H
A
A
K
I'm
here
today
to
talk
to
you
all
and
thank
you
for
recently
passing
one
of
the
most
comprehensive
tobacco
ordinances
in
our
state,
which,
among
other
things,
will
end
the
sale
of
all
flavored
tobacco
in
your
city.
You've
recently
been
asked
to
weaken
this
policy
by
exempting
hookah
tobacco,
but
I
urge
you
to
stay
strong
and
implement.
The
ordinance,
as
is
hookah,
is
not
harmless.
According
to
the
cdc
using
a
hookah
to
smoke,
tobacco
poses
the
same
serious
health
risks
to
smokers
and
to
those
exposed
to
the
smoke
as
other
tobacco
products.
K
K
K
Finally,
I'm
asking
you
to
be:
I'm
not
sorry.
Finally,
I'm
not
asking
you
to
be
insensitive
to
those
who
use
hookah
because
they
feel
it
is
part
of
their
culture,
but
we
cannot
allow
those
selling
these
deadly
addictive
products
and
profiting
from
them
to
speak
on
behalf
of
any
culture
or
community.
Thank
you.
L
Good,
I
am
eugene
nichols.
I
live
in
shoreview
and
I
serve
on
the
human
rights
commission
in
that
city
and
I'm
a
long-term
tobacco
prevention
advocate.
I
spoke
to
you
a
few
months
ago
at
that
time,
urging
you
to
end
the
sale
of
all
flavored
tobacco
in
your
city.
I'm
grateful
that
you
took
this
life-saving
action
and
look
forward
to
your
ordinance
going
into
effect
next
month.
Unfortunately,
strong
policies
like
yours,
yours
always
face
tobacco
industries,
attempt
to
weaken
them.
L
You
heard
from
two
individuals
a
few
weeks
ago
asking
you
to
consider
allowing
the
sale
of
flavored
hookah
tobacco
products
in
your
city,
their
arguments
about
hookah,
having
deep
cultural
significance
and
about
the
unintended
consequence
of
ending
hookah
sales
were
all
too
familiar
to
me.
I've
heard
similar
things
said
about
menthol
in
the
african
american
community,
which
I
am
a
member,
and
while
a
menthol
cigarette
and
a
hookah
may
look
completely
different,
they
deliver
the
same
toxic
chemicals
and
addictive
nicotine
to
their
uses.
L
As
you
just
heard,
hookah
users
have
an
increased
risk
of
severe
cancers.
Pulmonary
diseases
coronary
artery
artery
diseases,
I'm
sure
you're
familiar
with
that
with
the
with
this
list.
To
me,
the
bottom
line
is
this:
exempting
menthol
hooker
or
any
other
product
of
flavored
tobacco
regulations
only
exasperates
health
disparities.
Further
exemptions
allow
the
tobacco
industry
a
clear
path
to
market
and
sell
product.
Believe
me,
they
will
take
that
path
and
exploit
it
for
property.
All
like
this,
all
at
the
expense
of
our
health.
L
A
Thank
you
last
call
for
anyone
in
the
council
chambers
to
speak,
seeing
no
one
coming
forward.
I
will
close
tonight's
public
comment
period
and
thank
everyone
for
their
comments
this
evening.
We'll
move
on
to
item
five,
which
are
our
introductory
items.
The
first
item
under
item
five
is
5.1
introduction
of
new
employees.
We
have
a
number
of
new
employees.
I
think
we're
still
trying
to
catch
up
over
the
the
pandemic
shutdown
trying
to
catch
up
with
our
new
employees,
and
I
think
we've
got
a
couple
that
we
are
going
to
be
introducing
tonight.
F
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
council
members.
We
actually
are
getting
close
to
being
caught
up.
In
fact,
the
two
that
we're
introducing
tonight
are
brand
new
hires,
so
I
think
carl
is
going
to
go
first,
introducing
a
new
assistant
superintendent
and
then
dr
kelly
will
introduce
a
new
assistant
public
health
administrator
good
evening.
Mr
kiel.
B
M
Evening,
mayor
and
council
this
evening,
I'd
like
to
introduce
one
of
the
newest
employees
in
our
utility
division,
mike
peterson
mike,
is
our
new
assistant
utility
superintendent.
This
is
a
kind
of
an
important
position
in
utilities,
in
addition
to
being
responsible
for
the
ongoing
supervision
of
a
large
portion
of
our
operations.
M
This
position
also
has
a
lot
to
do
with
the
delivery
of
large
capital
projects,
so
mike
comes
to
us
with
a
lot
of
utilities.
Experience
all
20
years
of
experience,
starting
as
an
operator
working
his
way
went
back
to
school,
became
a
civil
engineer
and
currently
doing
a
lot
of
management
work

utilities.
M
A
Well,
welcome
aboard
mike
glad
to
have
you
here
thanks
for
joining
us
and
well
done
having
the
the
early
slot
in
the
agenda,
so
you
can
get
to
the
viking
bear
game
which
is
on
an
hour
away
from
starting,
I
think
so.
Well
done
you
can
still
get
there.
So
welcome
aboard
looking
forward
to
meeting
you
in
person
very
soon,
thanks
for
being
with
us
this
evening,.
A
N
Good
evening,
mayor
council
members,
it's
my
pleasure
tonight
to
introduce
blair
harrison.
It's
our
third
week
on
our
team.
So
blair
comes
to
us
with
a
tremendous
background
in
public
health.
Most
recently,
she
was
helping
run
the
homeless
response
for
the
state
of
minnesota.
So
we
we
were
able
to
get
her
from
the
minnesota
department
of
health.
A
A
A
A
N
N
We
continue
to
see
high
levels
of
covet
19
in
our
community.
This
graphic
represents
what
we're
seeing
on
a
regular
basis.
You
can
see.
The
last
few
weeks
have
been
this
high
level
of
up
and
down
that
high
level
is
primarily
delta
in
our
community
right
now
and
continuing
to
cause
challenges
with
high
levels
of
transmission.
N
N
Your
wait
times
will
be
longer
and
you
may
wait
a
long
time
to
be
admitted
to
the
hospital
if
one
hospital
bed
is
available,
our
fire
chief,
shared
this
situation
leaves
ambulances
with
little
resources,
but
to
bounce
back
and
forth
between
hospitals.
This
condition
is
slowly
and
steadily
getting
worse.
N
C
N
N
N
N
We
expect
that
to
rapidly
change
this
means,
as
more
cases
go
up,
omicron
is
going
to
be
out
competing
or
infecting
more
people
than
delta.
Can
the
second
area
is:
will
it
cause
more
severe
illness
at
this
point
less
than
a
month
since
this
variant
emerged,
we're
still
learning
about
the
clinical
picture.
N
N
We
don't
know
what
it's
going
to
happen
when
it
spreads
in
those
communities.
Early
data
out
of
denmark
shows
that
in
the
first
785
cases
about
1.2
percent
were
hospitalized
and
one
needed
intensive
care.
Most
of
them
were
vaccinated,
even
if
omicron
is
less
deadly
than
delta.
The
growth
is
exponential,
we're
going
to
see
severe
cases
and
that's
going
to
challenge
our
health
care
system.
N
N
There
is
decreased
protection,
however,
against
infection
in
persons
that
have
been
fully
vaccinated
compared
with
other
variants.
A
booster
dose
raises
the
level
of
protection,
but
breakthrough
infections
have
occurred.
We
expect
to
see
reinfection
in
people
who
have
previously
been
infected.
These
datas
have
been
reported
elsewhere,
including
the
people
that
are
infected
with
delta.
Recently,
protection
against
severe
disease
when
fully
vaccinated
or
boosted
is
anticipated
to
remain
strong.
N
N
Vaccination
is
our
best
tool
to
reduce
the
impact
of
omicron
in
the
community.
If
we
follow
the
trajectory
of
other
regions,
we
can
anticipate
a
surge
of
cases
in
amicron
in
the
next
few
weeks.
We
expect
cases
to
double
every
two
to
three
days.
The
speed
will
be
surprising
to
many,
as
conditions
will
change
rapidly.
N
Even
if
we
don't
see
a
change
in
cases
with
clinical
severity,
the
volume
of
exponential
growth
will
be
a
challenge
to
manage.
We
don't
have
the
capacity
now
with
delta,
so
this
is
incredibly
concerning
to
me.
We've
made
phenomenal
progress
with
vaccination
with
an
estimated
80
percent
of
our
community
over
the
age
of
five
fully
vaccinated.
N
N
Vaccination
is
our
primary
tool,
but
it
can't
be
our
only
tool
with
such
high
case
rates
and
a
variant
that
has
some
immune
escape
the
more
layers
of
mitigation
we
use
the
better
protected.
We
will
be.
The
choice
we
make
in
the
coming
weeks
will
impact
us
all
as
cases
surge.
You
can
expect
businesses
to
have
staffing
challenges.
As
staff
are
impacted,
you
will
see
retailers
and
other
businesses
ask
people
to
mask
up
again.
N
N
Think
about
wearing
your
seatbelt,
making
sure
your
kids
are
secure
in
their
car
seat,
be
careful
walking
on
the
ice,
get
your
flu
shot.
If
you
haven't
already
it's
not
too
late,
we
are
seeing
influenza
cases
starting
to
rise
in
minnesota,
get
vaccinated
against
cloven
19
and
get
boosted
when
you're
eligible.
N
This
is
our
best
strategy
to
reduce
your
risk
of
severe
illness.
Wear
a
high
quality
mask
that
seals
around
your
face
when
you're
in
indoor
public
spaces
or
areas
of
high
community
spread,
cloven
19
is
spread
when
an
infected
person
breathes
talks,
laughs,
coughs
or
sneezes.
It's
in
the
air
you
breathe,
which
is
why
you
want
a
good
mask,
gather
outdoors
or
in
areas
with
good
ventilation,
avoid
crowded
indoor
spaces
get
tested.
N
N
N
E
E
Well,
yeah
and
you
said
that
adults
getting
boosted
have
a
much
higher
level
of
protection
against
covid,
and
so
I'm
curious-
and
this
actually
was
a
conversation
among
a
group
of
friends
this
weekend
around
the
importance
of
that
booster.
And
then
it
raised
the
question
of
whether
or
not
kids
were
getting
that
same
level
of
immunity
as
compared
to
adults
who
are
boosted
when
they're
getting
vaccinated
right
now.
As
a
first
time.
Obviously,.
N
N
So
it's
going
to
take
us
a
little
bit
of
time
to
get
that
data.
I
do
anticipate
that
at
some
point
in
time
we
will
see
boosters
authorized
for
for
kids
that
are
authorized
to
get
vaccinated.
Now
the
the
consensus
in
the
community
is,
this
vaccine
is
likely
a
thir,
a
three
dose
vaccine
similar
to
our
childhood
vaccines.
A
Hearing
none.
Thank
you,
dr
kelly.
Thanks
for
the
information
for
the
for
the
the
common
sense
approach
and
practical
warning
for
all
of
this,
it's
it's!
This
is
something
that
we
have
tools
to
to
battle
and
we
have
to
put
them
to
use
and
appreciate
the
work
that
you
and
your
staff
do
to
get
that
message
out
to
not
only
the
residents
in
bloomington
the
residents
of
edina
and
richfield
and
since
bloomington
public
health
is
such
a
leader
in
so
many
different
ways
the
surrounding
communities
as
well.
A
So
so,
for
those
of
you
don't
know
after
a
decade
of
serving
on
the
city
council,
which
was
preceded
by
six
years
on
the
planning
commission
where
he
served
as
chair
and
the
vice
chair,
jack
officially
tonight
is
stepping
away
as
from
his
role
as
a
public
servant,
I'm
predicting
he's
going
to
move
very
comfortably
into
his
role
as
private
citizen.
Just
because
I
I
have
a.
I
have
a
hunch
he's
going
to
be
able
to
do
that
quite
well
jack.
A
You
and
I
we
came
out
of
the
city
council
at
the
same
time,
and
I've
always
appreciated
your
your
logical
and
straightforward
approach.
I've
appreciated
the
business
sense
and
the
institutional
memory
that
you've
brought
to
our
discussion
on
issues.
I've
always
been
impressed
by
your
absolutely
unmistakable
commitment
to
the
people
you
represent
in
district
three
and
I've
been
impressed.
Also,
it's
all
been
part
of
your
your
admirable
approach
to
public
service.
A
Just
in
general,
over
the
past
decade,
you've
made
it
very
clear
that
it's
not
about
flash
it's
not
about
a
specific
agenda
or
getting
off
a
good
zinger
on
social
media.
You've
made
it
very
clear
that
to
you,
public
service
is
about
doing
something
for
people
and
being
an
advocate
for
the
people
that
you
represent
and
that's
very
admirable.
It's
about
speaking
up
and
it's
making
a
difference
and
you've
done
a
great
job
at
that.
A
You've
stayed
true
to
that
idea.
You've
been
an
outstanding
representative
for
the
city
of
bloomington
and,
as
you
step
away
from
public
service
spending
more
time
in
warmer
climates
and
more
time
with
maryland
and
less
time
with.
All
of
us
just
remember,
the
money
is
no
better,
but
the
hours
certainly
are
once
you
get
retired
from
public
service.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
bloomington,
thank
you
to
councilmember
jack
baloga
for
your
16
years
of
service
to
the
city
of
bloomington,
and
congratulations
jack
well
done.
Thank
you.
J
You
it's
really
been
my
honor
and
privilege
to
have
served
for
10
years
as
a
city
councilman
and
more
than
just
the
planning
commission,
there
was
other
boards
and
commissions
that
I've
served
on
in
addition
prior
to
that,
but
so
adding
them
all
up
by.
I
believe
I'm
over
the
30-year
mark
in
terms
of
service,
so
jamie,
I'm
still
looking
for
the
gold
watch
to
be
delivered,
but
I'm
I'm
well.
I'm
saying
that
I
will
not
be
going
to
the
mailbox
on
a
daily
basis.
J
A
member
of
at
least
one
commission-
and
that
is
the
charter
commission,
so
I'm
I'm
really
not
going
fully
cold
turkey,
but
when
I
added
up
the
nine
boards
and
commissions-
and
you
know,
organizations
that
I
serve
on
now
on
behalf
of
the
city
council,
I
will
be
exiting
eight
of
those
at
this
end
of
year.
So
you're
right,
I
will
have
more
time.
I
look
forward
to
spending
more
time
here
in
arizona
and
also
especially
in
minnesota,
with
the
grandkids.
J
You
know
all
those
kinds
of
games
and
now
the
grandkids
are
going
to
have
to
put
up
with
me
more
and
I
think
we're
both
looking
forward
to
that.
So
tim,
it's
been
unique
to
be
with
you
for
these
ten
years,
and
I've
also
appreciated
the
relationship
that
we've
had
and
and
while
the
period
of
time
for
all
the
other
council
members
has
varied.
I
have
nothing
but
admiration
and
respect
for
each
and
every
one
of
them.
J
While
we
always
don't
agree
on
everything,
I
think
that's
part
of
the
process
so
that
we
can
all
speak
our
minds
and
hearts
on
issues
but
then
come
together
because,
as
our
former
mayor
always
said
and
reminded
us
on
a
very
regular
basis,
this
is
a
team
sport
and
you
get
more
done
and
you
get
it
done
better
and
most
efficiently
when
all
voices
are
heard.
So
I've
always
appreciated
that
and
try
to
follow
that
and
believe
that
all
of
the
colleagues
on
council
do
that
same
thing.
So
thank
you
for
that.
J
J
J
I
am
75
years
old
and
part
of
what
entered
into
the
equation
of
not
running
again
is
that
I
do
have
some
significant
health
problems
that
are
growing
and
they're
of
major
concerns,
so
I
did
not
feel
that
I
could
continue
to
serve
as
I
have
in
the
past,
as
I
desire
to
into
the
future
with
that
future
ahead.
So
I
part
of
this
is
just
for
me
for
my
family
and
I'm
taking
way
too
long
here.
J
I
didn't
plan
on
all
this,
but
thank
you
for
the
time
and
the
recognition.
It's
very
much
appreciated,
and
thank
you
to
all
of
you
as
members
of
the
city
for
your
interest
in
the
city
and
your
participation,
I've
met
some
wonderful,
wonderful
people
who
I've
really
developed
friendships
with
just
by
virtue
of
having
a
one-off
call
for
answering
a
question
or
seeking
some
help,
and
that's
it.
A
A
H
Yep
thank
you
mayor
and
just
want
to
say
thanks
jack,
I
really
appreciate
your
mentorship
and
your
friendship
and
it's
been
very,
very
helpful
for
me.
The
last
four
years
and
you'll
be
missed
on
the
council
here,
but
I
hope
that
you
still
pay
attention
and
provide
advice
and
guidance
to
us
as
we
go
forward
here.
Your
experience
has
been
tremendous
and-
and
lastly,
I
just
I
wish
you
the
best
with
your
health
issues,
I
hope
hope
they
all
turn
out.
Okay
here.
E
Thank
you,
mayor.
Well,
jack.
You
were
one
of
the
first
council
members
I
ever
interacted
with,
because
you
were
my
council
member
in
district
three
and
I
always
appreciated
so
much
how
responsive
you
were
and
how
kind
you
were.
I
met
you
in
person
shortly
after
I
first
emailed
you
at
my
neighborhood
night
out,
and
you
spent
a
significant
amount
of
time
with
our
neighbors
and
then,
when
I
decided
to
run
for
council,
you
were
very
gracious
with
your
time
and
and
then
during
our
time
together
on
council.
E
A
A
B
D
So
just
one
clarity,
peace,
mayor
and
customer
martin
6.7
no
need
to
hold
that.
I
do
have
some
questions
for
staff
that
we
could
handle
later
on
today,
given
that
we
are
short
on
time
today.
I
want
to
be
sure,
we're
efficient
with
time,
so
we
can.
We
could
hold
that
off
until
later,
that's
6.7,
but
I
did
have
one
more
piece
on
6.2.
B
A
A
A
D
So
it's
not
possible,
given
the
the
configuration
of
this
to
be
a
a
loan
program,
and
one
other
piece
that
I
want
to
mention
is
that
I
do
do
work
during
my
day
time
with
the
treasury
department,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
conflict
of
interest
here,
but
I
just
want
to
be
sure
that
folks
are
aware
of
this.
If
staff
had
any
other
comments
on
this,
I
wanted
to
give
them
the
opportunity
to
comment
on
this.
F
K
Thank
you,
mayor
city,
council,
council,
member
lohman,
just
to
clarify
really
quickly
in
consultation
with
city
finance
and
city
legal
who
were
looking
into
the
information
from
the
u.s
department
of
treasury
guidance.
The
american
rescue
plan
at
dollars
must
be
obligated,
and
the
term
obligated
means
spent
for
this
guidance
by
december
31st
2024.
D
Yeah,
I'm
pretty
clear
about
that.
I
just
have
one
one
comment
I'll
make
it
now
is
that
you
know.
I
appreciate
that
we're
doing
this.
I
just
think
that,
as
we
go
forward,
I'd
like
to
as
we've
done
with
other
other
programs
around
home
mortgage
type
things
or
fixing
up
that
we've
tried
to
to
create
a
program
by
which
they're
more
sustainable-
and
I
know
in
this
case
I
just
wasn't
possible
to
do
it
and
I
think
it's
better
to
to
provide
it.
D
But
I
think
that,
as
we
look
to
try
to
continue
this
program,
let's
look
for
ways
in
which
that
we
can
continue
to
be
able
to
provide
the
support
over
the
long
term
and
make
it
sustainable
as
possible,
and
I
know
it's
not
possible
with
this
regard.
So
I
do
appreciate
staff
still
moving
forward
and
bringing
this
to
us.
H
Yeah,
I
do
think
I
have
a
follow-up
question
here
and
I
appreciate
that
councilmember
lohmann
bringing
this
up
and
I
know
a
lot.
A
number
of
our
other
programs
are
loaned
so
that
they
can
continue
to
help
people
not
just
today
but
into
the
future,
and
I
think
that
hra
and
erica
have
done
a
really
good
job
with
those
programs.
And
I
guess
my
only
question
is:
would
it
be
possible
to
use
this
money
for
something
else
to
free
up
money
to
establish
that
type
of
loan
program
going
into
the
future?
H
K
Thank
you,
mayor
city,
council,
council,
member
nelson.
We
did
look
at
other
programs
that
we
have
at
this
time.
We
have
not
identified
a
funding
source
to
go
forward,
so
we
will
use
this
to
collect
data
that
is
specific
to
bloomington
around
who
needs
down
payment
assistance
who's
using
it.
What
are
the
demographics
while
we're
looking
to
identify
a
funding
source
and
with
that
in
consideration?
D
B
E
A
E
A
A
D
Oh
sorry,
I
wish
I
would
have
pushed
that
one
out
too,
but
I'll
go
ahead
and
is
carl
available.
This
one
here
is
with
regard
to
the
grant
funds
from
the
clean
energy
resource
team,
cert
certificates
for
energy
resource
workshops,
we're
having
a
number
of
workshops
that
we're
giving
and
wanted
to
give
carl
an
opportunity-
and
you
know
since
you're
already
here.
Why
don't?
I
also
just
ask
those
other
questions
too.
On
a
number
of
our
consent
agenda
items.
D
We've
got
a
number
of
resources
that
are
being
utilized.
For
example,
we've
got
a
street
sweeper
and
we've
got
a
couple
or
four
electric
vehicles.
Can
you
tell?
Can
you
tell
the
public
how
staff
goes
through
this
decision
making
process
when
it
comes
to
trying
to
get
sustainable
items
for
the
for
the
for
the
city
and
really
for
the
residents
at
large?
Hopefully
that's
enough
to
frame
it
in
there
and
then
also,
if
you
could
talk
about
these
workshops,
that
would
be
excellent
too.
A
M
Burdened
areas
of
the
city
apply
for
the
wide
range
of
different
types
of
programs
that
can
help
them
reduce
their
energy
use,
so
that
might
be
through
some
types
of
rebate
programs,
or
to
help
subsidize
the
cost
of
insulation
or
replacement
of
windows
or
other
types
of
things,
and
so
again
that's
kind
of
a
a
positive
thing
that
we'll
be
able
to
offer.
The
actual
dates
have
not
been
set
yet,
but
they
they
will
be
in
publicized
in
the
relatively
near
future.
M
So
as
we
move
forward,
we'll
have
this
continued
conversation
with
the
council
about
at
what
point
should
we
move
from
traditional
internal
combustion
engines
to
a
more
of
electrified
fleet,
and
that
is
dependent
upon
two
things?
Basically,
one
is
the
availability
of
different
types
of
vehicles
to
purchase,
and
then
it's
also
a
question
of
the
break-even
point.
Is
the
council
interested
in
making
sure
we
minimize
the
overall
cost
of
our
fleet,
or
is
the
council
interested
in
perhaps
subsidizing
the
cost
of
electric
vehicles?
A
D
A
G
A
D
B
D
A
B
Thank
you
very
much
mayor.
It
was
really
neat
to
open
up
the
packet
this
for
this
meeting
and
see
how
generous
our
neighbors
across
bloomington
have
been.
It
was
quite
a
long
list
of
donations.
There
was
various
to
our
police
department,
including
the
k9
units
supplies,
treats
donation
of
trees
to
dwan
golf
course,
which
is
pretty
neat
big.
Thank
you
to
mall
of
america
for
providing
ride
passes
at
one
of
the
community.
B
E
A
Aye
mayor
bossie
aye
motion
carries
7-0.
Thank
you,
councilmember
martin
move
on
to
item
seven
on
our
agenda,
hearings,
resolutions
and
ordinances.
Again
I
mentioned
at
the
outset
that
item
7.5
on
our
agenda
this
evening,
which
is
the
clover
center
redevelopment,
there's
been
a
requested
continuance
on
that.
So,
if
you
have
tuned
in
for
item
7.5,
we're
just
going
to
be
continuing
that
and
taking
that
up
on
january
24th,
so
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
so
in
case
you're
tuning
in
looking
for
that
to
happen
this
evening,
it
will
be
continued.
A
K
K
So
the
cip.
The
capital
improvement
plan
is
a
planning
tool,
long
range
physical
planning
tool.
We
go
through
a
very
detailed
process,
as
the
budgets
are
going
through
preparation
throughout
the
summer
and
early
fall
with
staff,
and
we
continue
to
to
update
the
numbers
of
the
cip
as
we
move
through
the
fall
as
budgets
are
approved
and
we
get
better.
Estimates
you'll
see
that
in
the
presentation
that
some
of
the
numbers
have
been
updated
since
council
last
saw
that
the
cip
includes
projects
that
are
over
50
000
in
individual
pieces.
K
So
if
the
projects
in
some
of
the
budgets
may
be
less
than
50
000,
they
are
not
included
here.
So
in
some
instances
the
cip
or
capital
improvements
in
some
budgets
might
be
greater
than
what
is
just
in
this
document
because
of
the
smaller
amounts
in
their
budget,
and
then
we
have
six
different
categories
for
that,
as
the
council
has
seen
this
document
for
many
years
now.
K
This
document
is
not
a
guarantee
that
the
cip
approves
the
project
funding.
Each
project
has
to
move
forward
and,
as
those
funding
sources
are
accumulated
or
identified,
they
will
come
before
the
city
council
again
based
off
of
the
dollar
amount
of
those
projects.
We
follow
state
procurement
rules
and
the
rules
that
the
council
has
set
for
the
city,
manager's
approval
levels
and
anything
over
175,
175
000
will
come
before
the
city
council
and
generally
of
those
projects,
would
be
on
consent,
which
we
just
finished
going
through
quite
a
bit
of
projects
there.
K
K
The
planning
commission
had
the
document
before
them
on
the
18th.
The
planning
commission
reviews
the
documents
to
ensure
that
the
projects
that
are
in
the
cip
are
in
compliance
with
our
comprehensive
plan,
and
they
did
approve
the
resolution
to
that
in
effect.
And
then
this
evening
is
the
document
for
the
public
hearing
and
the
approval
from
the
council.
K
So
just
some
of
the
changes
we
moved
the
type
of
bonds
from
animal
shelter
from
a
capital
improvement
bond
to
a
charter
bot.
We
had
some
conversations
with
our
bond
attorney
on
what
the
different
bonding
types
could
be
used
and
anything
other
than
really
public
safety.
Public
works,
they
tend
to
fall
under
a
capital,
improvement
bond
and
golf
animal
shelter,
say
women
to
nice
garden.
They
would
all
fall
under
charter
bonds
and
then,
as
we
move
through
there,
the
pool
filter
moved
move
the
date
further
out
on
the
pool
filter.
K
K
K
Again
all
the
individual
29
bids
will
be
coming
in
in
the
next
few
weeks
and
we'll
be
watching
all
those
numbers
very
closely.
We
would
be
posting
if
the
council
does
approve
the
authorization
of
the
bonding
along
with
the
bid
packages.
Then
we
would
move
that
into
a
notice
of
resolution
and
the
30
30
day.
Reverse
referendum
clock
would
begin.
K
A
A
Much
better,
I
do
not
see
any
hands
up
very
good
with
no
counsel
questions
we
will
move.
This
is
a
public
hearing
and
this
is
public
hearing
for
item
7.1,
which
is
for
the
2022
through
2031
capital
improvement
plan
approval
for
anyone
who
wishes
to
speak
to
the
item,
7.1
the
public
hearing
on
the
capital
improvement
plan.
A
A
C
A
I
do
think
I
appreciate
the
work
that
staff
has
put
into
this.
We
all
know
this
is
not
a
small
document,
and
this
is
not
a
small
amount
of
work,
and
so
I
appreciate
greatly
the
work
that
staff
does
put
into
it
and
the
thought
that
goes
into
it
from
not
only
the
the
finance
staff
but
from
our
entire
staff
to
to
look
at
the
breadth
of
things
that
may
come
up
that
that
might
require
capital
improvement
and
capital
investment
by
the
city
over
the
next
10
years.
A
E
A
B
A
small
brewer,
something
I
think,
you've
been
working
on
for
a
couple
years
now
coming
soon
again.
This
is
just
our
portion
of
it.
The
approval
of
the
on
sale,
off
sale,
portion
again
they're
still
last
time,
I
talked
to
them
still
waiting
for
some
inspections.
Again,
these
are
regulated
by
the
department
of
agricultural
on
the
brewing
part
and
then
also
registered
with
us.
The
state
alcohol
enforcement
on
the
the
production
and
sales
at
that
that
level.
A
A
A
L
A
C
B
A
C
A
E
A
B
A
B
B
The
the
retailers
are
saying
that
the
products
getting
smaller
and
smaller
the
choices
are
getting
smaller
and
smaller.
So
I've
had
a
couple
discussions
with
some
of
them
of
other
options
and
you
know:
do
they
cut
the
store
in
half,
make
a
liquor
store
these
kind
of
things,
and
so
yeah
I'd
really
like
to
see
some
movement
on
this
before
people
start
destroying
their
buildings
for
this,
but
no,
I
have
not
heard
anything
on
it.
Understood.
A
A
A
I
A
B
A
A
A
B
C
A
A
A
A
B
A
Motion
carries
seven
zero
item,
7.5,
which
is
the
clover-centered
redevelopment,
read
zoning
and
the
preliminary
development
plan
in
the
final
development
plan
for
9728
lindale
avenue.
What
I
think
I
will
do
is
officially
open
the
public
hearing
on
this,
and
then
we
will
hold
it
open
for
the
planning
case
as
named
and
continue
the
item
to
january
24th.
A
A
F
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
council
members.
This
item
this
evening
is
a
continuation
of
a
discussion
that
we
began
with
the
council
this
past
summer,
and
actually
we
had
some
discussion
with
council
in
months
and
years
previous
as
well,
and
that
is
the
possible
pursuit
of
legislative
permission
to
implement
a
local
options.
Sales
tax
now
a
local
option.
F
The
second
requirement
is
that
it
has
to
have
some
sort
of
a
regional
benefit
to
it.
In
other
words,
the
the
use
of
the
sales
tax
and
the
revenue
it
generates
has
to
go
to
a
purpose
that
is
benefiting
not
just
that
particular
cities
residents,
but
residents
or
others
from
outside
the
community,
and
so
part
of
the
evaluation
by
the
legislature
is
that
the
projects
being
proposed
actually
do
meet
that
regional
consideration.
F
F
F
More
often
than
not,
and
so,
as
we
put
this
list
together
and
worked
through
our
cip,
we
thought
the
the
wise
thing
to
do
here
was
to
try
and
relieve
the
burden
of
local
property
taxpayers
for
facilities
that
are
being
utilized
by
people
outside
the
community
in
in
many
circumstances,
and
that
the
local
option
sales
tax
provides
the
best
way
to
generate
revenue.
To
do
that.
F
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
looked
at
is
how,
indeed
this
does
at
reducing
the
the
tax
burden
on
our
our
local
population
and
when
we,
when
we
ran
the
numbers
for
how
much
revenue
could
be
generated
from
a
half
cent
local
option
sales
tax
it.
It
turns
out
to
be
about
12
million
dollars
a
year
and
when
we
worked
with
our
financial
advisor
baker,
tilly
and
and
ran
the
numbers
with
them
that
I'm
sorry
I
inflated
the
annual
numbers,
10.6
million
dollars
a
year,
not
12
million.
F
F
F
There
are
four
of
them.
If
we
had
these
in
cip-
and
we
did
these
either
through
a
local
bond
referendum
or
or
general
obligating
general
obligation
charter
bonds,
it
would
cost
the
median
value
home
about
210
a
year
for
all
of
those
projects.
That's
pretty
significant
increase
if
we
utilize
a
local
option.
F
F
F
The
resolutions
have
to
be
submitted
to
the
state
legislature
in
order
for
there
to
be
consideration
of
a
request
during
the
2022
session.
So
for
the
council
schedule,
that
would
mean
probably
passing
a
resolution
on
january
24th
and
we
want
to
allow
for
additional
discussion
before
that
happens,
which
would
likely
happen
on
january
10th.
F
So
this
is
really
the
first
of
what's
probably
going
to
be
three
conversations
about
this
topic,
because
we
recognize
it's
a
weighty
topic,
and
so
we
want
to
give
the
council
an
opportunity
to
work
through
so
for
the
purposes
of
discussion
tonight.
What
I'm
hoping
mr
mayor
and
council
members
is
that
you'd
identify
any
questions
that
you
have
about
projects
that
have
been
identified
as
a
possible
inclusion
in
the
request
of
the
legislature
or
other
questions
regarding
the
mechanics
or
the
details
of
local
option
sales
tax
or
what
it
means
for
bloomington
taxpayers.
F
A
The
question
that
pops,
to
my
mind,
is
a
combination
of
the
both
the
projects
and
the
mechanics
of
how
we
all
do
this
and
I
think
it's
one
we've
talked
about
before,
and
I
don't
know
that
we've
gotten
to
a
a
clear
answer
on
it.
So
for
two
of
the
projects
that
are
listed
there,
the
ice
garden
and
the
the
department
of
health
building,
those
are
also
in
a
state
capital
request.
A
So
it's
we're
playing
the
we're
playing
both
hands
here.
It
seems
and
I'm
wondering
how
that
all
works.
If,
for
example,
the
state
were
to
pick
up
half
the
cost
of
the
ice
garden
improvements,
does
that
then
free
up
additional
money
to
do
additional
projects
or
or
how
does
it
all
work?
Do
we
have
a
firm
answer
on
that.
F
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
council
members,
very
good
question
so
for
the
benefit
of
residents
who
may
be
watching,
the
city
did
submit
two
projects
to
the
state
back
in
june,
when
the
deadline
was
to
be
considered
for
capital
bonding,
and
so
that
means
that,
in
those
requests,
if
they're
approved
by
the
state
legislature
and
ultimately
signed
by
the
governor,
the
state
would
pay
about
half
of
those
projects.
The
the
two
projects
that
we've
submitted,
our
replacement
of
the
public
health
facility
and
the
improvements
at
the
bloomington
ice
garden.
F
The
the
there
is
nothing
that
says
in
law
that
you
can't
do
both
of
these,
that
you
can't
submit
a
capital
bonding
request
and
ask
for
local
option
sales
tax
to
help
pay
the
city's
portion
of
that
project.
So
if
we
were
to
actually
get
capital
bonding
for
those
two
projects,
there's
nothing
that
says
we
can't
also
get
sales
tax
to
pay
our
share
of
it.
F
A
I
But
the
excuse
me
the
questions
I
had.
I'm
I'm
reading
through
the
packet
I'm
a
little
bit
confused
about
when
this.
This
study
that
we
we
received
this
july,
it's
it's.
It
says
the
report
utilized
the
most
current
sales
tax
information
available
from
2019,
and
then
that
report
compared
data
to
2016
sales
tax
information
is
that
is
that
2016
sales
tax
information
from
bloomington.
F
Mr
brookie,
mr
mayor
and
council
members,
council,
member
coulter,
that's
a
good
question.
We
had
actually
two
of
these
studies
done
so
the
first
time
that
we
started
talking
about
it.
We
asked
the
department
of
revenue
actually
yeah.
We
asked
the
minnesota
extension
service.
Excuse
me
to
do
a
study
of
how
much
sales
taxes
generated
in
the
state
and
that
was
based
on
2016
information.
I
Okay,
thank
you
that
that's
helpful
to
clarify.
I
guess
you
know
to
the
extent
possible
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
if
there
is
even
more
updated
information.
You
know,
to
the
extent
that
there
is,
there
is
really
any
way
to
sort
of
gauge
the
effect
of
of
the
pandemic
and
and
how
that
may
affect
sales
tax
calculations.
I
D
I
You
you
kind
of
spoke
into
it.
It
would
be
helpful
to
see
a
little
more
in
in
concrete
numbers
kind
of
what
what
kind
of
impact,
so
it
essentially
the
the
way
you
laid
this
out
is
you
know.
One
option
is
to
do
these
through
the
the
traditional
bonding
process
that
the
city
already
uses
and
what
that
impact
would
be
to
property
taxpayers,
and
then
the
other
option
would
be
a
local
option.
Sales
tax.
I
That
I
mean
that
would
still
have
an
impact
of
course
to
to
folks,
and
it
would
be,
it
would
be
helpful
to
know
to
the
extent
we
can,
what
impact
that
would
still
have
on
folks.
You
know
in
terms
of
what
what
kind
of
what
kind
of
increased
expenses
folks
would
would
be
seeing
as
a
result
of
that,
and
in
particular
one
concern
that
I
have
always
had
about
a
local
option.
I
Sales
tax,
even
as
I've
generally
been
supportive
of
it,
is
that
sales
taxes
are
also
quite
regressive,
and
I
I
want
to
be
clear
about
the
nature
of
the
ask
that
we
are
making
of
the
people
of
bloomington
and
what
impact
that's
going
to
have,
particularly
on
folks
with
lower
income,
so
yeah
to
the
extent
that
that
that
information
is
available.
That
would
be
helpful.
F
Mr
ruby,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
council
members,
council
member
coulter,
we'll
certainly
put
the
the
narrative
part
of
my
presentation
here
into
the
additional
information
for
the
january
10th
discussion,
and
we
are
actually
updating
the
estimation
of
the
property
tax
impact
in
light
of
the
adoption
of
the
levy
for
the
coming
year.
When
we
were
running
that
analysis
six
months
ago,
we
were
doing
it
with
some
presumptions
on
what
the
levy
might
be
and
what
the
tax
base
might
be
as
well.
F
D
Thank
you
mayor
and
councilmember
coulter,
I'm
going
to
pick
up
right
where
councilmember
coulter
left
off
with
regards
to
the
regressivity
and
it's
my
understanding
city
manager,
that
both
property
taxes
and
sales
taxes
are
in
themselves
both
regressive
taxes.
It
was
my
understanding
of
that
that
correct
in
terms
of
my
understanding
of
that
they're,
both
a
a
regressive
tax
and
then
in
terms
of
tools
that
local
governments
have
with
progressive
taxation.
I'm
not
aware
of
it
is.
D
F
The
the
sales
tax
does
not
have
a
similar
type
program.
To
my
knowledge,
there
is
not
a
city
that
has
a
local
option:
sales
tax
that
has
some
sort
of
consideration
to
address
the
regula
regressivity
in
that
tax.
But
before
our
next
meeting
we
can
certainly
we
can
certainly
do
a
little
bit
more
research
and
find
out
if
indeed
that
is
not
the
case.
F
So
in
the
same
way
that
people
who
rent
their
living
space,
they
pay
taxes,
they
pay
property
taxes.
It's
very
difficult
for
us
to
identify
what
the
impact
of
the
property
tax
levy
is
each
year,
but
for
the
most
part,
property
tax
is
a
pass-through
through
renters,
and
so
we've
tried
to
present
to
the
council
before
some
analysis
of
what
that
looks
like
given
the
the
type
of
the
property.
F
D
Thank
you
manager
and
mayor.
This
is
not
an
easy
topic,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we've
done
everything
we
possibly
can
for
those
folks
who
you
know
want
to
live
here
in
bloomington
to
be
able
and
that
we
are
making
a
good
policy
choice
with
respect
to
these
two
tax
instruments
that
that
are
before
us
for
all
of
our
folks.
Thank
you.
E
E
So
it
would
be
helpful,
like
you
said,
to
have
kind
of
a
list
of
those
things,
those
basic
goods
and
services
that
are
not
taxed
and
are
not
subject
to
sales
tax
in
minnesota,
because
I
think
that
it
does
kind
of
overlap
with
this
regressivity
conversation
that
we're
having.
And
I'm
not
saying
that.
I'm
like
that.
I'm
preferring
one
over
the
other
at
this
point.
But
it
does
seem
to
me
that
there's
a
little
bit
more
of
an
element
of
choice
as
it
relates
to
people's
spending
habits
and
sales
tax.
E
F
F
We
did
look
at
highland
golf
course,
which
we
are
no
longer
operating,
but
we
still
do
own
and
we
have
a
future
discussion
with
three
rivers
parks
district
after
they
get
their
arms
around
how
the
operations
go
and
what
they
can
expect
about,
what
the
future
holds
for
that
golf
facility
and
what
reinvestment
may
be
necessary
and,
more
importantly,
who's
responsible
for
those
reinvestments
that
has
not
fully
been
articulated
in
our
in
our
our
joint
operating
agreement.
So
those
that
was
the
primary
alternative
option
that
wasn't
included
here.
F
F
F
F
They
do
and
usually
there's
some
sort
of
a
structure
associated
with
part
major
park
improvements
when
you
have
a
regional
asset
like
that,
we
we
looked
through
our
park
system
and
having
a
we
don't
have
a
major
regional
park
other
than
our
two
big
facilities,
duane
or
not.
Duane.
Excuse
me,
dred,
scott
and
valley
view
are
the
primary
ones
and
we
didn't
have
specific
projects
in
there
that
we
thought
would
rise
to
the
level
of
making
this
kind
of
a
request.
B
Thank
you
mayor,
just
real
quick,
so
the
cost
estimate
here
for
the
community
health
and
wellness
center.
I
first
I'm
really
excited
to
see
this
project
included
here.
Does
that
assume
replacement
at
the
creekside
site
and
then
kind
of
on
top
of
that
I
see
we're
educating
bloomington
legislators,
pretty
quick
here.
I
guess
at
what
point
do
we
need
to
pull
the
trigger
on
a
specific
site
if
it's
included.
F
F
One
thing
I
will
say
is
that
a
cost
the
project
cost
at
this
amount
suggests
it's
going
to
be
on
land
that
we
already
own,
because
having
to
pay
for
property
acquisition
would
increase
the
cost
of
the
project,
or
we
could
do
that,
and
it
just
then
decreases
the
the
scale
of
whatever
project
we
could
do.
So
I
I
think
that,
in
terms
of
what
this
project
looks
like,
I
think
it's
closer
to
something
that
was
like
the
medium
project
for
community
center
that
was
considered
prior
to
the
the
you
know.
A
And
just
to
be
clear
as
we're
talking
about
four
individual
projects
here,
those
projects
would
be
voted
on
individually.
If
we
made
it
that
far
correct,
they
would
be
voted
on
individually
by
the
voters.
It's
not
a
big
block.
They're
not
voted
on
all
four
at
once.
Voters
would
have
an
opportunity
to
vote
on
each
individual
project.
Is
that
correct?
Mr.
F
That
is
a
yes
or
no,
and
so
it
is
conceivable
that
we
could
take
four
projects
into
the
into
the
ballot
box
if
it's
approved
by
the
legislature
and
walk
out
of
there
with
zero
or
one
or
two
or
three,
and
that
what
happens
at
that
point
is
that
the
state
would
help
us
recalculate
the
number
for
what
that,
what
that
amount
of
taxes
necessary
to
have,
and
then
you
know
we
would
adjust
accordingly.
So.
F
B
J
J
F
J
F
F
J
That
that
clarifies
thank
you.
So
I
understand-
because
I
was
looking
at
this
as
the
half
request
to
fill
in
right,
so
that
answers
that
question.
Has
this
been
discussed
with
the
chamber
of
commerce
at
all,
since
it
does
have
implications
of
business
revenues
potentially
for
certain
items
that
they
would
have
an
interest
in?
Mr.
F
Mr
mayor
and
council
members
council,
member
baloga,
we
have
not
had
a
conversation
with
them
recently.
I
know
that
they're
aware
of
this
from
earlier
earlier
this
year,
but
we
haven't
gone
back
for
an
in-depth
conversation
or
frankly
visited
with
their
public
policy
committee
recently
on
it
either.
And
you
know,
if
that's
a
direction
of
the
council,
we
can
certainly
engage
them.
In
that
conversation.
F
At
the
mall
and
what's
their
position,
mr
marin,
council,
members,
council,
member
beloga,
we
have
discussed
it
with
both
of
those
parties
and
I
have
an
understanding
with
both
of
those
parties
that
the
council
is
interested
in
this
and
that
the
convention
of
visitors
bureau
clearly
understands
it.
And
I
I
think
that
triple
five
understands
what
the
city's
interest
is
and
that
conversation
was
even
had
when
the
mayor
and
the
port
authority
administrator
myself
were
in
new
jersey,
visiting
t5
ownership.
F
The
the
negotiations
that
we've
had
on
the
projects
around
the
mall
of
america
have
tried
to
consider
all
of
the
different
issues
that
are
in
play
and
local
options.
Sales
tax
is
one
of
those
issues
that
are
in
play,
and
I
I
think
that
it
is
fair
to
say
that
if
things
continue
to
progress
in
the
way
that
they
have
that
there
there
won't
be
opposition
to
the
city
pursuing
this
at
the
legislature,.
A
A
So,
mr
verbrug,
you
said
this
was
the
first
of
a
couple
of
conversations:
will
we
what
are
our
next
steps?
Are
we
just
going
to
kind
of
ruminate
on
this
for
a
couple
of
weeks
and
come
back
to
it
in
january?
Will
there
be
more
information
at
that
time?
What
what
do
you
anticipate
being
the
next
steps
as
we
continue
this
conversation.
F
Well,
mr
mayor,
I
think,
for
the
january
10th,
what
we
wanted
to
do
was
reserve
that
time
to
bring
back
any
follow-up
information.
So
I
know
that
our
chief
financial
officer
is
taking
notes
during
this,
as
as
I
am
mine,
are
mental
because
I'm
obviously
not
writing
it
down
as
we
talk
here.
So
it's
all
up
here.
F
It's
there's,
not
a
public
hearing
that
is
required
for
a
resolution
of
this
nature
to
be
considered.
I
do
know
that
this
is
a
significant
issue,
and
I
would
imagine
that
there
are.
You
know
different
strains
of
thought
in
the
community
about
it,
and
I
know
that
the
council
has
made
an
effort
to
receive
input
on
things
like
this
one
when
even
if
it's
not
necessarily
required.
F
A
I
think
not
speaking
for
the
council,
speaking
for
myself
and
now
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
council,
but
what
I
would
like
to
see
before
even
before
the
10th
is
that
we
start
to
get
this
information
out.
I
think
there
are.
There
are
some
folks
who
are
aware
that
this
might
be
going
on,
but
I
don't
know
that
that's
widespread
knowledge
and
so
through
our
different
communications
channels.
A
If
we
could
start
talking
about
this
and
making
this
a
point
of
of
discussion
within
the
community
and
just
so
we
I
don't
want
to
spring
it
on
folks
on
the
24th
and
have
them
come
to
a
an
opportunity
to
provide
input
without
with
with
incomplete
information
or
without
fully
understanding
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
or
or
what
this
might
entail.
So
I
would
say,
turn
the
communication
staff
loose
and
let
them
start
to
spread.
The
word
here.
I
Thank
you
mayor,
just
quick
to
to
add
on
to
that.
I
would
excuse
me
I
would
encourage
staff.
I
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
one
of
those
cases
where,
where
really
there
is
no
such
thing
as
too
much
information,
I
think
you
know
the
more
information
about
the
process
about
what
it,
what
you
know
it
can
and
can't
be
used
for
how
it
up
it's
applied.
I
That
kind
of
thing
I
think,
getting
as
much
of
that
information
out
in
advance
is,
is
really
going
to
be
be
helpful,
so
that
folks
are
are
fully
aware
of
what
what
the
ask
is.
That's
that's
being
made,
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
add
to
that,
because
I
think
the
mayor
is
right
as
far
as
as
just
the
the
word
being
given
to
communication
staff.
A
A
I
think
the
the
staff
report
does
a
very
good
job
in
kind
of
putting
that,
but
if,
if
we
could
distill
that
even
more-
and
this
would
be
a
great
opportunity,
I
think
to
to
start
that
and
make
that
a
bit
routinized.
So
we
get
into
that
habit
of
for
a
big
issue
like
this.
Make
sure
that
the
council
has
the
information
we
need
to
be
able
to
answer
the
questions
that
we're
going
to
get
got.
It.
A
A
Out
of
8.2
on
our
agenda
is
a
discussion
on
residential
livability
standards.
Again,
this
is
a
discussion.
No
no
action
on
this,
something
that
we,
I
think
have
talked
around.
I
think
in
the
in
the
past,
and
I
think
we
want
to
make
sure
we
further
this
discussion.
Even
more.
I've
got
mr
james
name
associated
with
this,
but
is
this
there?
He
is
he's
coming
on.
Mr
verbridge,
do
you
want
to
kick
this
off
for
us
at
all.
A
O
Mayor
council
members
I'll
go
through
a
couple
slides
here,
so
this
project
was
about
impacts
of
non-residential
uses
that
are
located
near
residences
and
came
about
because
of
a
couple
recent
impacts
associated
with
specific
uses.
So
I've
listed
those
here
to
refresh
our
memories,
so
recall
data
centers,
maybe
in
relation
to
like
noise
and
odor
concerns
self
storage
facilities
in
relation
to
lighting
concerns,
and
then
coffee
roasters.
This
one
was
a
few
years
back,
but
odor
concerns
with
that,
and
so
I
listed
these
here
just
to
refresh
memories.
O
But
you
know,
frankly,
there
are
these
types
of
uses
and
impacts
that
come
up
kind
of
every
couple
years
and
there's
really
some
broader
issues
beyond
just
individual
uses
here
and
so
kind
of
thinking.
More
broadly,
here
issues
occur
wherever
we
have
higher
intensity
uses
that
are
located
near
lower
intensity,
and
you
know
many
issues
are
also
related
to
say
the
scale
of
a
building
or
a
size
of
an
operation.
O
Usually
we
think
of
issues
when
we
have
industrial
near
residential,
but
frankly
there
can
be
just
as
many
issues
when
we
have
say
commercial
type
uses
near
residential,
and
so
I
put
the
zoning
map
the
city
zoning
map
up
on
the
screen
here.
Just
for
reference
but
and
white
is
where
we
have
single
family
residential.
O
So
what
we
think
of
is
more
lower
intensity
use
and
no
any
other
colors
blues,
reds
oranges,
those
are
industrial
and
commercial
and
there's
you
know
several
areas
where
we
have
a
single
family,
lower
intensity
uses
near
industrial
or
commercial,
so
potential
for
impacts
in
multiple
locations
in
the
city,
but
with
zoning,
then
we
try
to
mitigate
issues
and
I
think
we're
successful
a
lot
of
times,
but
sometimes
there's
still
issues
and
really
with
zoning.
We
try
to
balance
the
issues
right.
O
O
So
in
zoning,
our
strategies
kind
of
broadly
typically
take
the
form
of
no
screening
between
those
incompatible
uses,
increasing
distance
between
the
two
you
might
have
design
standards,
maybe
site
design
or
exterior
material
design
of
the
structure
and
then
there's
standards
about
the
application
process
too
right.
So
we
have
conditional
use
permits
to
build
in
additional
levels
of
review.
O
I
also
want
to
note
that
we
have
existing
regulations
on
noise
order
and
lighting
and
they've
worked
for
us
for
years
now
and
frankly,
a
lot
of
them
are
relatively
new.
You
know
our
noise
code
was
updated
a
few
months
ago.
Our
older
standards
pertaining
to
food
processing
facilities.
Those
are
updated
a
couple
years
ago,
and
the
lighting
code,
too,
is
relatively
new,
but
there's
also
impacts
that
come
up
related
to
you
know
new
uses
of
new
technology
or
new
types
of
uses,
and
so
that's.
O
O
So
the
next
recommendation
here
is
through
through
conditions
of
approval
for
a
couple
self-storage
facilities.
The
cities
require
motion
activated
lighting
after
hours
and
so
staff
is
recommending
to
instead,
instead
of
applying
these
through
conditions
of
approval
to
instead
codify
this
requirement.
O
O
This
would
apply,
and
so
this
is
intended
to
address.
You
know:
health
concerns
related
to
lighting,
reduce
light
pollution
overnight,
while
also
accounting
for
safety,
security
considerations
and
asking
around
to
staff
from
what
I
understand
is
with
those
conditions
of
approval
we've
issued
for
the
self
storage
that
that
has
been
effective
at
addressing
nuisance
issues.
O
So
planning
commission
offer
comments
specific
to
each
of
these
spelled
out
and
staff
reports,
but
in
general
the
commissioners
didn't
rule
out
any
of
these
strategies,
but
they
requested
additional
information
about
how
they
would
apply
and
were
generally
concerned
about
impacts
to
businesses.
What
the
standards
would
mean
to
them.
O
I
did
reach
out
and
call
a
couple
of
residents,
especially
those
that
offered
feedback
during
the
when
the
data
center
was
being
expanded
off
of
old
shakopee.
You
know
they
were
interested
in
especially
interested
in
standards
around
data
centers
such
as
you
know,
creating
a
conditional
use
permit
for
that
use
or
requiring
neighborhood
meetings.
O
I
also
reached
out
to
businesses
and
developers-
I
only
spoke
with
donaldson,
and
they
are
of
course
concerned
about
standards
that
would
limit
their
operation
as
they
you
know,
admitted
to
they
have
a
data
center
and
data.
Centers
are
quite
common
among
a
lot
of
uses
now
and
also
relied
on
a
fair
amount
of
internal
resources
to
understand
past
current
issues.
O
So
thinking
next
steps,
then
you
know
depending
on
tonight's
direction.
Some
of
these
could
go
to
ordinance,
then
in
a
couple
months,
and
then
I
also
want
to
note
that
the
noise
issues
proposed
on
the
legislative
agenda.
So
that's
about
allowing
cities
to
set
stricter
standards
than
the
state
statute,
stricter
noise
standards.
O
And
so,
for
the
sake
of
narrowing
tonight's
discussion
and
direction,
I've
created
the
following:
abc
categories:
to
try
to
guide
discussion
and
so
b
would
be
to
move
forward
with
the
staff
recommendation.
I've
listed
here
a
would
be
it's
a
little
misleading,
not
necessarily
no
action,
but
not
to
move
forward
with
the
strategies
I've
presented
here
and
you
know
perhaps
instead
focus
only
on
that
legislative
agenda
piece
and
then
c
would
be.
You
know
maybe
consider
some
of
staff's
recommendations
and
do
more.
A
Thank
you,
mr
james
council
questions
on
this
and
it
may
I'll
kick
off,
and-
and
maybe
I
missed
it,
mr
james,
but
were
these:
were
these
staff
recommendations,
were
they
for
for
new
or
expanded
construction,
or
were
they
considered
to
be
retroactive?
Would
they
be
applied
to
existing
facilities
and
existing
conditions
as
well.
O
O
B
Thank
you
mayor.
I
personally,
I
like
all
four
of
these
options,
and
I
know
especially
in
that
verizon
conversation
we'd
also
mentioned
talking
to
our
partners
at
the
legislature
about
more
local
control
there.
So
I
do
hope
we
can
get
that
into
our
legislative
priorities.
I
guess
kind
of
a
quick
question
here
that
that,
first
with
the
noise
study
identifying
the
least
impactful
locations
just
anecdotally,
how
often
are
folks
coming
forward
with
projects
or
improvements
that
they've
already
decided
to
locate
in
a
place?
That
is
not
the
least
impactful.
I
guess
how?
B
O
All
right,
thank
you,
member
martin
yeah,
so
you
know
currently,
when
places
are
locating
that
outdoor
equipment,
they
do
so
to
meet
well
wherever
they
locate
it,
they
have
to
meet
the
noise
regulations
right
the
decibels
at
whatever
property
line,
and
I
guess
I
I
can't
comment
on
whether
they
locate
it
in
the
very
least
impactful
location
and
that
might
be
subject
to
expert
interpretation
but
and
there's
limitations
too.
With
this,
I
think
it's
partly
realizing
that
you
know.
O
O
I
want
to
say
that
happens
in
a
lot
of
cases,
but
in
some
it's
not
possible.
It
would
mean
you
know,
locating
that
equipment
in
front
of
buildings,
and
that
was
part
of
planning
commission's
concern
and
there
might
be
ways
I
think,
to
move
that
forward
still
and
not
have
it
located
in
front
of
buildings
yeah-
and
I
think
again,
even
just
to
that
one
example.
B
To
help
inform
council's
discussion
of
where
on
the
site
would
be
least
impactful
and
I'll
be
able
to
operate
after
that,
as
opposed
to
trying
to
picture
in
our
heads
based
off
kind
of
a
more
dense
report.
So
I
find
these
these
four
helpful
for
myself
and
I
hope
we
can
move
forward
with
considering
more
depth.
H
H
H
H
O
Council,
member
nelson
another
good
question:
it
might
require
further
staff
discussion.
My
understanding
is
that
it
would
not
run
a
follow-up
state
law
and
that
those
standards
are
more
pertained
to
like
decibels
and
don't
identify
necessary
necessarily
equipment,
that's
creating
sound,
and
so,
with
these
standards
we
focus
specifically
on
the
outdoor
mechanical
equipment
and
just
location
in
the
first
place.
H
O
O
It
doesn't
happen
often,
but
sometimes
we
have
new
multi-family.
That's
located
a
budding
industrial
where
there
is
no
screening,
and
so
then
that
industrial
use
is
left
with
a
code,
non-conforming
situation
and
that's
a
barrier
for
them.
If
they
want
to
redevelop
or
expand
it's
you
know
something
new
they
would
have
to.
They
would
have
to
create
that
provide
that
screening,
then,
with
any
new
development.
I
Thank
you
mayor
on
the
whole,
I
think
this
list
is
a
is
a
good
one.
I
I
think
these
are
are
very
good
initial
steps.
I
will
say
to
the
point
that
councilmember
nelson
raised
my
recollection
as
well
is
that
state
standards
refer
to
specific
decibel
levels
rather
than
any
other
location
requirement,
or
anything
like
that.
I
guess
you
know,
and
maybe.
I
Option
d
is
getting
at,
but
I
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
see
like
I
said
I
think
these
are
good,
good
initial
steps.
I
would
I
would
kind
of
like
to
see
moving
forward.
You
know
it
feels
like
these
things
just
kind
of
come
up
in
the
moment,
and
then
you
know
we
we
say.
Oh,
we
should
really
come
back
to
these
and
come
back
to
this
issue
and
talk
about
it
at
some
point,
then
you
know
until
now.
I
Really
we
haven't
done
that,
so
I
guess
just
moving
forward
it'd
be
helpful.
If
staff
could
kind
of
you
know
sort
of
keep
tabs
on
things
like
this
as
they
come
up
and
we
can.
I
think
this
could
be
a
regular
sort
of
conversation
where
we
we
just
kind
of
bring
up
these
issues
and
and
and
see
where
they
head.
I
I
am
a
little
bit
concerned.
I
I
think
I
understood
that,
and
this
is
the
point.
I
think
that
that
councilmember
nelson
was
making
as
well
that
that
the
with
option
c
that
there
would
be
this
this
burden
on
new
multi-family
development
to
create
screening
based
on
this
use
that
it's
located
next
to
you,
and
so
I'm
I'd
be
a
little
bit
concerned
about
what
that
means,
but
I
I'm
certainly
willing
to
move
forward
with
the
conversation
on
it.
But,
like
I
say,
on
the
whole,
I
think
these
are.
A
And
I
would
agree,
I
think
this
is.
This
is
a
good
start.
I
like
the
these
first
steps.
We
didn't,
we
haven't
talked
about
it
yet,
but
the
the
notion
of
mapping
the
known
issues,
I
think,
is
an
important
step.
I
think,
to
know
where
our
issues
are
and
to
exactly
how
we
what
we
might
need
to
do
to
deal
with
them.
I
think,
is
an
important
part
of
this,
an
important
piece.
A
So,
if
the,
if
the
question
is
do
we
are
we,
if
our
recommendation
is
some
between
the
three
of
no
action,
follow
the
staff
recommendation
or
do
more,
I
think
the
stack
staff
recommendation,
I
think,
makes
the
most
sense
to
me
and
again
open
for
discussion
council
leaving
the
door
open
to
do
more.
If
we,
if
you
know
a
light,
bulb
comes
on
over
somebody's
head
and
we
realize
we
should
be
looking
down
a
certain
pathway
to
add
to
these
to
this
list
of
things.
To
do.
A
I'm
not
hearing
every
anyone
telling
me
I'm
losing
my
mind.
So
that's
good
and
I
see
a
couple
of
thumbs
up,
that's
good.
We
will
take
that
so
I'd
say
mr
james.
The
the
recommendation
is
to
to
go
forward
on
this
and
continue.
This
conversation
continue.
The
staff
work
on
it
because
I
think
we're
headed
in
the
right
direction.
A
Next
on
our
agenda
is
topic:
we've
been
talking
about
for
a
while
and
learned
more
about
this
week
or
last
week.
I
believe
it
was
from
the
burnsville
sanitary
landfill.
The
comment
letter
that
we
are
creating
in
response
to
this.
Mr
marker
guard,
our
planning
manager
is
here
he's
been
kind
of
the
lead.
The
city's
lead
on
this
issue
of
the
expansion
of
the
burnsville
sanitary
landfill
and
he's
going
to
lead
us
on
this.
Mr
marker
guard
good
evening.
C
C
C
So
bloomington
submitted
comments
in
july
and
those
comments
were
not
utilized
by
the
mpca.
They
did
go
ahead
and
keep
the
allocations
exactly
where
they
had
recommended
at
the
preliminary
stage,
so
that
would
send
roughly
30
percent
of
the
metro
area's
waste
to
the
burnsville
sanitary
landfill
over
the
next
seven
years,
so
that
particular
process
is
complete.
C
Commenting
on
the
final
supplemental
environmental
impact
statement
and
then
once
that's
complete,
just
one
process
remains
and
that's
the
permitting
process,
both
the
city
of
burnsville
and
the
mpca
will
need
to
issue
final
permits
and
then
attach
any
conditions
of
approval
to
those
permits.
So
that's
that's.
What
remains
in
the
process.
C
Purpose
of
any
environmental
review
is
both
to
identify
impacts,
but
also
to
recommend
mitigation
for
consideration.
During
permitting
the
environmental
review
itself,
doesn't
make
any
decisions
on
approval
or
denial,
but
it
makes
recommendations
that
should
be
taken
into
consideration
during
the
permitting
process.
C
C
C
C
So
the
draft
letter
proposes
mitigation
specifically
well.
First
of
all,
it
requests
not
approving
additional
waste
in
this
location,
but
barring
that
it
requests
mitigation
that
the
waste
on
site
that
is
not
lined
be
moved
to
ensure
that
it
is
lined
in
the
future
that
a
new
liner
be
created
and
and
the
waste
be
removed,
and
then
it
also
recommends
astringent,
mpca
monitoring
and
then,
if
the
monitoring
did
observe
evidence
of
contamination,
the
weather
talks
about
that.
That
should
trigger
no
further
expansion,
a
plus
landowner
funded
remediation.
C
C
D
A
C
And
mayor
bussey,
councilmember
lohmann,
one
of
the
bigger
issues
was
just
emphasizing
the
organics
and
recycling
recyclables
further,
emphasizing
removal
of
that
prior
to
landfilling
and
pointing
out
that
that
benefits
a
number
of
things
just
beyond
volume
and
height.
It
also
benefits
like
bird
attraction
and
potential
aviation
impacts
and
other
issues
as
well.
D
The
no
yeah-
I
will
continue
right
now.
I
appreciate
that
yeah
I
just
was
in
the
middle
of
a
meeting
with
actually,
ironically
with
with
the
chair
of
the
sustainability
commission.
For
so
that's
why
I
did
not
see
this
when
it
came
out,
so
I
appreciate
that
I
see
it
here
and
I
do
think
we
should
include
these
items
for
sure.
I
Thank
you
mayor.
Well,
first
of
all,
I
just
again
want
to
thank
staff
for
their
proactive
work
on
this.
This
is
something
that
I've
been
hearing
from
a
fair
number
of
folks
about,
and
I'm
just
really
really
pleased
that
we
are
really
keeping
our
our
eyes
on
this
and
and
really
keeping
involved
with
the
process.
So
thank
you
for
doing
that.
I
My
question
is,
I
mean
I
the
the
suggestions
as
far
as
75
recycling
and
pre-processing
rate
and
shredding
of
remaining
waste,
I
I
mean
those
seem
to
me
to
be
such
common
sense
things.
Why
are
those
things
not
done
already,
I
mean?
Is
it
a?
Is
it
a
cost
thing
or
a
process
issue?
What
exactly
I
mean?
Why
is
that
not
just
happening
as
a
matter
of
course.
C
Mr
mark
regard
yeah
mayor,
bosweet,
council,
member
coulter.
I
think
one
impediment
is
it's
not
actually
required
under
state
law,
at
least
not
yet
to
do
those
I
I
agree.
They
seem
like
common
sense
items
and
then
I
think
another
issue
is
there's
revenue
in
landfilling,
the
waste
so
the
more
waste
the
more
revenue
there's
an
economic
incentive
in
that
regard,.
I
A
C
A
Do
we
know
have
other,
did
other
communities
respond
in
the
same
way
that
bloomington
did
did
other
communities
chime
in
with
their
own
concerns,
not
necessarily
our
language,
but
with
their
own
concerns
and
this
kind
of
thing
and
if
so,
what
response
did
they
receive
from
the
npca?
Do
you
have
any
idea.
C
Yeah,
mayor
bussi,
you
know
other
agencies
responded,
hennepin
county,
for
example,
specifically,
commissioner
of
the
hotel,
submitted
a
letter
and
echoed
a
lot
of
bloomington's
concerns
the
watershed
district,
lower
minnesota
river
watershed
district
submitted
comments
with
with
many
concerns
very
similar
again
to
bloomington
a
lot
of
residents
both
from
bloomington
and
other
cities
submitted
concerns
yeah.
I
would.
I
would
characterize
the
responses
to
those
other
agencies.
You
know
lower
minnesota
river
watershed
district
and
in
the
county
as
being
pretty
similar
to
the
responses
to
to
bloomington's
commons.
H
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor.
Just
a
couple,
quick
questions
here.
The
current
process
and
what
they're
looking
to
approve
is
that
this
entire
increase
in
the
volume
or
is
it
just
a
portion
of
it
at
this
point,
and
there
would
be
other
decision
points
in
the
future
that
may
increase
it
additionally,
to
what
we
see
represented
here
is
that
accurate.
C
Yeah
mayor
blissey,
council,
member
nelson,
the
request
will
be
what
you
see
in
front
of
you,
so
the
entire
expansion.
Now
the
certificate
of
need
is
limited
to
seven
years
or
what
they
estimate
the
waste
flow
to
be
over
the
next
seven
years.
So
that
is
more
incremental
in
nature,
but
I
understand
that
the
permit
itself
will
be
for
the
entire
thing,
at
least
the
request.
Now,
whether
or
not
it's
approved
to
go
the
you
know
the
entire
way,
that's
separate,
but
at
least
the
request
would
be
for
the
entire
expansion.
H
Okay
yeah.
Thank
you
for
that
clarification
because
I
know
I've
been
confused
and
others
have
as
well.
One
of
the
other
things
that
struck
me
and
kind
of
to
the
mayor's
point
of
the
response
is.
They
seem
to
just
kind
of
blow
off
our
concerns,
but
I
was
surprised
that
there
wasn't
a
concern
about
the
groundwater
when
one
of
the
aquifers
is
already
contaminated.
C
C
H
Okay,
thank
you.
I
mean
I
just
my
opinion
on
this
project.
Is
it
just
seems
like
50
years
late,
and
we
have
better
ideas
on
how
to
manage
waste
and
better
locations
than
a
river
valley
and
it
to
continue
moving
forward
with
more
waste
in
a
river
valley?
That
already
has
problems
seems
to,
in
my
mind,
make
no
sense
and
cry
for
better
ideas
and
better
solutions,
recognizing
that
there's
certainly
cost
implications
of
that,
but
contaminated
people's
drinking
water
isn't.
A
D
You
know
merrick,
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
your
comments.
I
just
couldn't
put
words
to
my
just
when
you
read
over
that
letter
it
just
how
exasperated
I
felt
one
of
the
questions
that
I
had
for
for
you,
maybe
jack,
maybe
glenn.
I
remember
that
in
a
in
a
past
period
of
time
there
was
an
amphitheater
proposal
with
burnsville.
D
D
You
know
that
that
history
with
regard
to
this,
if
there's
anything
that
could
be,
that
should
be
considered.
It
could
be
done
because
to
me
I
just
as
I
look
at
this
I
mean
I
I
just
as
you
go
down
each
one
of
these
items,
there's
going
to
be
some
impacts
here,
and
I
can't
believe
that
those
impacts
would
not
be
greater
than
you
know
that
you
know
than
this
amphitheater
piece
that
we
had
had
in
the
past.
D
C
C
C
So
bloomington
was
successful
on
getting
the
responsible
government
unit
to
agree
that
an
eis
would
be
required,
and
that
was
to
be
a
time
consuming
process,
and
so
the
project
fell
through.
I
don't
think
that
was
the
only
reason
it
fell
through
it.
There
were
other
reasons
beyond
bloomington's
concerns,
but
it
played
into,
I
think,
the
analysis
of
not
moving
forward
with
the
amphitheater
and
that
amphitheater
was
to
be
on
another
one
of
the
closed
landfills
of
the
freeway
landfill.
D
J
C
Yeah
mayor
will
see
council
member
lilman,
I
yeah
we're
doing
the
same
tactics
and
in
this
case
one
thing
you
could
imagine
down.
The
road
would
be
changes
in
state
law,
for
example,
that
prohibit
additional
certificates
of
need
being
issued
within
flood
plains,
for
example.
That
would
require
you
know,
state
law,
changes
and
it
wouldn't
impact
the
next
seven
years,
but
it
may
impact
beyond
that.
If
something
like
that
changed.
D
Certainly
sounds
like
this:
is
you
know,
legislative
agenda
piece
that
that
we
can
kind
of
move
forward
on
this?
It's
just
it's
disappointing
from
a
from
an
environmental
impact
standpoint
here
but
mayor,
I
think
you've
summed
it
up.
Well,
I
can't
I
don't
even
want
to
go
down
that
road,
because
every
time
I
look
at
that,
I
just
get
upset
so.
A
I
think
we
will
look
at
the
the
transmittal
letter.
I
think
stay
the
course
glenn
and
and
figure
out.
I
mean
keep
working
this
through
the
official
channels,
how
we're
supposed
to
be
working
it
and
I
think,
at
some
point
to
to
a
couple
of
the
comments
earlier,
we
might
have
to
start
looking
at
ways
to
to
find
alternative
ways
to
bring
this
to
the
attention
of
the
folks
who
are
decision
makers
and
can
maybe
change
their
minds
on
this.
I
don't
know
I'm
saying
that
as
nicely
as
I
can
so.
A
E
A
A
J
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
The
grant
became
involved
in
2016
as
a
way
to
help
artistry
through
some
periods
of
transitions
to
how
they
were
doing
things
to
help
they
wanted
to
do
things
in
the
future,
and
the
city
agreed
that
these
would
be
in
alignment
with
our
strategic
goals
and
objectives
and
supported
them
by,
as
the
mayor
already
said,
approving
the
five-year
grant
that
terminated
last
year.
J
J
I
would
like
to
add
that,
in
addition,
there
are
currently
other
grants
that
we
give
the
supplemental
arts
grants
of
about
180
000
a
year
to
the
other
bloomington
arts
based
groups-
and
this
is
in
addition
and
aside
from
that,
so
that
would
not
be
effective.
That
is
still
in
the
2022
budget,
and
this
is
in
addition,
so
I'd
stand
for
any
questions.
A
N
A
A
So
I'm
I'm
comfortable
with
this,
with
this
additional
supplemental
arts
grant
over
the
next
couple
of
years
to
to
continue
them
on
that
path.
Where
they're
headed
I'm
confident
that
they're
gonna
get
there,
because
I
think,
with
the
the
the
board
of
directors
in
place.
Now,
with
the
administration
in
place
with
the
the
artistic
nature
of
what
what
is
going
on,
I
think
they're.
I
think
they're
headed
in
the
right
direction
to
to
become
this.
A
This
self-sufficient
and
thriving
organization
that
we're
we're
kind
of
putting
them
on
the
direction
toward,
and
so
I
think
this
is.
This
is
a
reasonable,
a
reasonable
grant
awarded
from
the
city
to
an
important
arts
organization
that
fills
this
building
on
many
many
nights
and
and
really
helps
to
to
grow
and
sustain
the
arts
in
general.
In
bloomington.
A
J
A
Motion
by
council
member
belloga
second
by
I
think
I
saw
council,
member
martin
and
councilmember
coulter
and
a
couple
of
others
as
well
to
second,
the
authorization
of
the
mayor
and
city
manager
to
sign
an
agreement
between
the
city
and
artistry
for
a
supplemental
cultural
arts
grant
and
no
more
council
discussion
on
this.
Mr
billard
beloga
hi.
B
E
A
Hi
motion
carries
7-0
jack
thanks
again
for
your
your
your
work
on
the
artistry
board
over
the
past
few
years,
and
thanks
for
your
support
of
the
arts,
I
know
you're
a
strong
supporter
and
always
always
greatly
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
much.
Thank
you
item.
8.5
is
an
update
on
our
strategic
planning
process.
Mr
verbruggy.
F
F
Omicron
started
to
rear
its
ugly
head
here,
but
I
would
say
that
we're
off
to
a
really
good
start
and
and
before
I
do
any
more
of
an
update,
our
communications
staff
put
together
a
really
nice
piece
about
that
core
planning
team
and
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
so,
I
think,
grant
parker
is
cueing
that
up
and
mr
mayor,
with
your
permission
like
to
show
that
video,
I
would
like
to
see
it.
Please
play.
F
F
Bloomington
tomorrow,
together,
is
how
we
describe
the
city's
commitment
to
working
with
the
community
in
charting
a
course
into
the
future.
We
were
thrilled
to
have
over
150
residents,
apply
to
be
part
of
this
process,
and
our
staff
worked
to
interview
every
one
of
those
people
who
scheduled
an
interview
to
select
15
residents
to
be
part
of
the
core
planning
team.
Those
15
residents,
along
with
the
superintendent
of
bloomington
public
schools,
the
mayor
and
two
council
members
and
11
city
staff
met
for
three
days.
It's
important
for
the
school.
K
H
F
The
city
of
bloomington
really
matters
to
us.
One
of
the
really
important
things
we
did
even
before
the
core
planning
team
met,
was
to
engage
with
our
community
and
have
a
number
of
critical
conversations
about
the
things
that
people
value
in
our
community,
their
hopes
and
aspirations
for
the
future,
the
things
that
they
would
like
us
to
do
more
and
the
things
maybe
they
wanted
us
to
do.
F
M
F
This
core
planning
team
identified
the
mission
statement,
the
core
values,
the
strategic
objectives
and
the
strategies
that
we're
going
to
move
forward.
Our
mission
is
to
cultivate
an
enduring
and
remarkable
community
where
people
want
to
be
and
from
that
statement
is
going
to
flow
the
work
plans
that
are
going
to
achieve
that
mission
over
the
next
five
to
ten
years.
The
core
planning
team
process
utilized
a
consensus-based
decision-making
model.
F
F
H
H
K
F
Next
steps
in
this
process
are
the
creation
of
a
measurement
team
and
action
teams
that
will
take
the
work
of
the
core
planning
team
and
build
work
plans
so
that
we
know
what
we're
going
to
do
over
the
next
couple
years
to
advance
this
mission.
The
core
planning
team
will
then
come
back
together
in
march
after
they've
received
the
work
plans,
and
then
they
will
sign
off
on
the
total
package.
They
will
recommend
that
to
the
city
manager.
F
One
of
the
interesting
takeaways
was
a
core
value
around
this
notion
of
being
bold
and
willing
to
take
risks
for
the
benefit
of
the
community.
That
doesn't
mean
we're
going
to
go
out,
helter
skelter
chasing
opportunities.
What
it
does
mean,
though,
is
we're
willing
to
look
at
things
differently
than
we
have
done
in
the
past.
Most
importantly,
it
is
saying
we're
a
community
that
is
going
to
be
on
the
front
edge
of
doing
things
differently
to
help
define
that
future.
My.
F
F
So
one
thing
that
we
didn't
cover
in
there
are
the
core
values
for
the
draft
strategic
plan,
and
I
think
it's
it's
good
to
share
those
and
and
have
the
community
here
and
and
the
council
here.
What
those
30
folks
thought
were
important
to
say
those
core
values
were,
we
believe
the
transformation
will
come
through
collective
courage
and
the
willingness
to
take
risks.
F
F
We
believe
that
everyone
benefits
when
there
is
equitable
access
to
opportunity,
and
we
believe
that
safety
and
security
are
critical
components
of
a
resilient
and
healthy
community
and,
like
I
said
mr
mayor
and
council
members,
each
one
of
the
words
that
are
part
of
this
draft.
This
draft
plan
were
words
that
were
agreed
to
by
the
whole
group,
and
so
when
we
talk
about
this
idea
of
of
co-creating
the
street
strategic
plan
with
the
community
members,
we
really
mean
that
is
that
it
was.
F
It
was
a
consensus
based
and
consensus
was
sometimes
hard
to
get
to
in
that
room
and
only
the
things
that
everybody
could
agree
to
fully
ended
up
coming
out
of
there.
So
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
stop
mayor
and
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you,
and
perhaps
council
members,
martin
and
loman,
who
also
participated
on
behalf
of
the
city
council,
with
the
core
planning
team.
A
B
Yeah,
I
think
not
only
was
that
a
really
fascinating
level
setting
opportunity-
I
mean
the
data
book
that
members
of
the
corp
planning
commission
were
provided,
was
very
dense
and
very
fascinating.
Just
laying
out
what
are
the
demographic
trends
in
the
community,
the
economic
trends
to
put
all
30
folks
in
this
room,
saying
here's
the
tremendous
opportunity
we
all
recognize
and
can
see,
and
where
do
we
head
from
here
and
I
think,
just
in
general,
at
a
very
kind
of
divided
time,
nationally
and
elsewhere.
B
As
we've
all
seen,
I
think
it
was
a
pretty
heartening
exercise
to
put
30
people
in
a
room
from
diverse
backgrounds,
perspectives,
goals
for
the
community,
get
on
the
same
page
from
a
data
perspective
and
have
that
informed
by
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
comments
brought
in
through
the
community
cafes
to
have
all
those
voices
still
resonating
in
the
room.
I
I
think
that
was
an
activity
that
gave
me
a
lot
of
hope
to
know
that
there
is
a
lot
more
shared
ground
out
there
than
people
maybe
think
at
first
glance.
D
Let
me
just
say
you
know
just
watching
the
the
video
and
some
of
the
times
that
we're
going
on
there.
I
want
to
tell
you.
There
was
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
work,
a
lot
of
heart,
a
lot
of
tears,
a
lot
of
sweat
that
went
into
that
process,
and
you
know,
and
one
of
the
things
I
think
is
really
interesting.
Is
you
know
you
look
at
the
mission
that
we
have
our
you
know?
Our
mission
is
to
cultivate
an
enduring
and
remarkable
community
where
people
want
to
be.
D
I
think
about
the
composition
of
our
you
know
of
our
of
our
of
our
our
council
today,
just
how
many
people
who
have
either
you
know
or
who
have
either
grown
up
here
and
stayed
here
and
those
folks
who
you
know,
I
think,
the
best
and
brightest
from
across
the
you
know.
The
country
have
come
here
to
be
leaders
here
and
to
represent
the
city,
and
I
just
I'm
just
so
excited
about
what
the
future
is.
D
Gonna
look
like,
and
you
know
just
I
don't
know
if
the
other
members
who
were
there
as
a
part
of
that
experience,
jamie-
and
I
just
saw
some
folks
there-
that
you
know
really
cared
about
this
community
and
what
I
thought
was
remarkable
too,
was
the
the
diversity
of
the
folks
that
were
there
in
that
room.
I
think,
really
represented
a
broad
swath
of
people
from
all
walks
of
the
community.
I
don't
know
how
staff
did
that
as
well
as
they
did
to
get
that
that
type
of
folks
people
there.
D
So
I
I
I
I'm
thankful
that
I
had
the
opportunity
to
to
go
through.
That's
certainly
one
of
the
highlights
of
my
life
to
have
that
opportunity
to
go
through
that,
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
for
the
rest
of
this
council
getting
a
chance
to
to
to
see
what
this
what
we
put
forward,
but
there's
not
enough
words
you
could
put,
but
I
think
you
know
that
mission
that
was
right
there.
The
mission
is
to
cultivate
and
and
enduring
a
remarkable
community
where
people
want
to
be.
A
It
it
definitely
was
an
interesting
three
days.
It
really
was,
and
it
was
the
notion
that
consensus
was
sometimes
hard
to
get
to
is
true,
but
we
did
get
there
and
I
think
we
came
out
with
a
a
very
strong
mission
statement,
some
great
core
values
and
a
really
good
foundation
for
the
the
work
of
the
next
teams,
the
the
folks
who
are
going
to
set
up
the
measurement
and
the
the
to-do
list
for
us
to
to
get
done.
So
I'm
I'm,
I'm
excited
I'm
looking
forward
to
it
moving
forward.
F
Mr
mayor
and
council
members
we'll
continue
to
provide
updates
as
we
go
as
as
it
is.
You
know
necessary
or
interesting
things
happen,
but
the
next
big
step
is
just
the
measurement
team.
The
action
team
so
for
a
couple
months
here
we'll
be
nose
back
down
to
the
to
the
papers
here
and
working
hard
to
produce
something
so
we're
reaching
out
to
members
of
the
community.
We're
also
going
back
to
other
people
that
expressed
interest
and
were
considered
for
the
core
planning
team.
F
So
we're
going
to
continue
to
involve
people
who
step
forward
and
reaching
out
to
other
people
as
well,
and
then
we'll
certainly
involve
a
good
number
of
staff
to
make
sure
that
folks,
who
have
you,
know
technical
expertise
and
subject
matter,
expertise
will
be
part
of
those
conversations
as
well.
So.
A
A
We
will
move
on
to
item
8.6
on
our
agenda,
which
is
the
city
manager,
performance,
evaluation,
summary
and
employment
agreement
and,
as
as
you
all
know,
but
for
the
for
the
benefit
of
the
community,
the
city
council,
the
the
seven
of
us.
We
officially
have
one
employee,
that's
the
city
manager
and
officially
there's
an
employment
agreement
between
the
city
and
the
manager
that
defines
the
terms
and
the
conditions
of
his
employment
and
in
the
employment
agreement,
both
parties,
both
the
city
and
the
city
manager.

They
agreed
to
performance,
a
performance
evaluation
process
and
in
accordance
with
minnesota
state
law.
The
city
council
meeting
to
do
that.
Performance
evaluation
may
be
closed
for
the
purpose
of
discussing
the
employee's
performance
and
on
monday
december
13th,
the
city
council
held
a
closed
session
with
the
city
manager
to
discuss
his
past
performance.
Over
the
past
year,
city
council
provided
feedback
and
evaluated
the
city
manager
based
on
six.
Previously,
a
pre
agreed
upon
criteria.

In
section
4,
we
amended
the
salary
to
193
thousand
20
and
60
cents,
which
is
an
increase
of
six
and
a
half
percent,
with
three
percent
being
a
cost
of
living,
adjustment
increase
and
three
and
a
half
percent
being
a
performance-based
increase,
and
we
had
two
clerical
edits
were
also
recommended
and
made
by
the
city
attorney.
In
section
15,
we
fixed
the
typo
in
the
citation
and
in
section
seven
we
fixed
the
typo
in
a
reference
to
the
employment
rules.

We
made
substantial
progress
on
the
things
that
council
identified
at
the
beginning
of
this
year
and
last
year
in
terms
of
where
they
wanted
to
go
and
and
things
they
wanted
to
get
done,
and
that's
a
testament
to
the
staff
and
their
their
commitment
to
making
sure
that
you
know
the
vision
that
you
have
for
this
community
is
put
into
practice
and
put
into
action.
So
thank
you
for
the
direction
that
you
provide
and
the
support
you
provide
and-
and
I
appreciate
the
support
for
me
personally.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
council
members.
Speaking
of
supportive
staff
appreciate
again
the
the
council
provided
holiday
for
thursday
december
23rd,
and
so
I
want
to
remind
folks
in
the
public
who
may
be
coming
into
civic,
plaza
or
any
of
our
other
public
buildings
that
we
will
be
closed
on
the
23rd,
at
least
in
civic,
plaza
and
public
health,
and
also
on
friday,
the
24th.
F
I
Thank
you
mayor.
Just
one
thing:
I
wanted
to
kind
of
ask
staff.
You
know
I
was
thinking
about
this
and
you
know
we
we
adopt
the
levy
and
we
talk
about
cost
for
household
and
and
basically
what
it,
what
it
costs,
households
to
provide
the
services
that
the
city
of
bloomington
provides
and-
and
we
very
often
compare
that
to
similar
costs
for
other
cities,
and
you
know
it
occurred
to
me
that
we
excuse
me.
I
We
always
talk
about
it
when
we're
getting
to
when
we're
starting
another
round
of
of
levy
discussions,
but
we
very
rarely
have
any
follow-up
after
we've
finished
a
previous
round.
So
I'm
wondering
I
don't
know
you
know
it
could
be
sent
out.
You
know
one
weekly
it
I
don't
know
if
there's
interest
in
in
a
more
sort
of
public
discussion,
but
I
think
to
sort
of
close
the
loop
on
the
the
this
levy
discussion
that
we
just
finished
it
might
be.
I
I
mean
I
would
think
by
now
pretty
much
every
other
city
is
has
certified
their
final
levy.
It
might
be
helpful
to
provide
that
information
as
sort
of
a
follow-up
to
say.
Okay.
This
is
what
we
said
we
were
going
to
do
for
2022,
knowing
you
know
what
other
cities
had
done
for
2021
now
to
follow
up
here's.
What
sort
of
that
final
number
looks
like
for
every
other,
not
every
other
city.
I
F
Mr
mayor
and
council
members,
council,
member
coulter,
we'll
certainly
provide
that
information.
Now
that
we
are
to
the
latter
half
of
december
and
all
the
cities
have
certified
their
final
letters,
we
can.
We
can
summarize
that
we
tried
to
get
close
to
that
going
into
the
truth
and
taxation
hearing.
Our
staff
was
in
communication
with
the
with
the
finance
officers
and
the
city
managers
in
those
other
communities
to
see
if
they
were
landing,
where
they
thought
they
were
going
to
or
give
us
an
estimate.
F
D
D
You
know
basically
the
stone
tablets
of
the
day.
There's
we're
dying
breed
us
folks
who
used
to
work
on
paper
and
get
their
their
council
packets.
I
only
had
a
couple
of
years
of
that,
but
I
just
want
to
say
one
of
the
things
that
I'll
never
forget
about
something
you
did
is
you
said
why
don't
we
stop
delivering
these
packets
once
you
know
or
having
these
weekly
deliveries
from
the
the
police
department
to
everyone's
home?
D
You
said
that
would
be
a
more
environmental
way
to
do
our
business,
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you,
because
you
always
reminded
us
in
key
moments
and
for
us
to
always
walk
our
own
talk,
and
I
appreciate
that
jack
that
little
thing
and
I'll
remember
that
that
little
story
of
us
getting
rid
of
the
delivery
of
the
packet.
You
know
each
week
and
I
always
think
of
sustainability
each
each
time
when
that
packet
doesn't
show
up,
but
I'm
so
happy
we're
not
dealing
with
that
big
stack
of
paper.
A
I
just
want
to
wish
everyone
a
merry
christmas
to
all
who
celebrate
and
to
everyone.
A
happy
and
joyous
and
safe
and
healthy
new
year
in
2022
got
a
lot
ahead
of
us
and
looking
forward
to
it
so
hope
everybody
has
a
great
holiday
season
and
we'll
see
you
again
after
the
new
year
and
with
that
council
member
baloga.
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn.
