Description
Bloomington Minnesota City Council Meeting
A
A
D
E
A
A
A
A
A
Counsel,
any
questions
of
mr
verbruge
hearing.
None
we'll
move
on
item
4.2
is
the
public
comment
period
itself
again,
as
I
said,
a
20
minute
period
where
members
of
the
public
are
allowed
to
address
the
council
on
items
not
on
tonight's
meeting.
We
do
limit
each
individual
to
five
minutes
and
we
have
the
clock
ready
to
roll
to
keep
people
within
that
five
minute
limit.
Questions
from
the
council
will
be
clarification
only
and
it
isn't
a
back-and-forth.
It's
an
opportunity
for
the
council
to
listen
rather
than
talk
and
respond,
so
we
will
move
forward.
A
A
A
G
Previously
I
mentioned
that
the
8th
circuit
opinion
for
nest
versus
city
of
bloomington
stated
in
august
2018,
someone
lodged
a
formal
complaint
against
ness
for
possible
violations
of
the
harassment
statute
and,
as
I
stated
before,
I
spoke
with
four
children
who
approached
me
after
one
said,
my
first
and
last
name
a
year
later,
the
person
called
the
police
on
me
again
because
I
took
one
six
second,
video
to
document
the
danger
pose
to
park
patrons
by
the
private
business
school
use.
I
did
not
harass
anyone
the
next
incident.
G
The
opinion
mentioned
states
in
august,
2019
bloomington
police
officers
approached
nest.
While
she
was
video
recording
activities
relating
to
alleged
violations
of
the
joint
use
agreement
near
the
center.
The
officers
were
investigating
a
harassment,
three
complaint
filed
by
success
academy
and
the
parent
of
a
student.
The
officers
warned
nest
that
she
could
be
arrested
for
violating
their
harassment
statute
of
children
threatened.
Mr.
D
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
excuse
the
interruption,
but
I
believe
that
this
has
been
discussed
in
previous
council
meetings
and
I
believe
the
rules
of
perhaps
a
procedure
for
the
city
council
prohibit
a
reiteration
of
the
same
information
as
an
ongoing
basis.
So
is
there
something
new
to
be
presented
here.
G
Yes,
this
here
is
about
a
different
incident.
I
had
to
start
with
something
so
people
who
have
no
idea
what's
going
on
that
they
would
be
informed.
So,
yes,
you
have
not
heard
this
at
all
this
incident
at
all.
You
have
not
heard
this
at
all
the
one
I'm
going
into.
You
have
not
heard
it.
I
have
not
presented
it
before
nothing.
None
of
this
okay.
G
Stature
if
children
felt
threatened
or
intimidated
by
her
filming,
regardless
of
her
intent.
According
to
officer
meyer's
report,
he
asked
ness
to
stop
filming.
This
complaint
is
filed
by
the
same
person
who
previously
called
the
police
on
me
twice
before.
I
was
in
my
car
over
400
feet
away
from
where
students
are
being
dropped
off,
students
exit
east
side
of
the
bus
car.
While
I
am
on
the
west
side,
when
the
bus
cars
drive
by
usually
it
is
only
the
top
of
student
heads
that
are
visible,
documentation
is
of
the
parking
lot.
G
So
if,
by
chance
a
student
could
see
over
a
window,
they
would
not
have
seen
a
phone
out
recording
and
therefore
unlikely
children
felt,
threatened
or
intimidated
by
filming.
I
am
approached
by
an
officer
while
in
my
car,
in
the
neighbor's
driveway
the
neighbor
tells
the
officer
I
have
permission
to
be
there.
The
officer
asks
you
know
why
we're
here
I
say:
no,
the
officer
says
they
were
concerned
because
you're
over
here
taking
pictures
and
stuff,
I'm
letting
you
know.
G
G
Planning
on
being
violent,
the
officer
never
mentioned
concern
about
violence,
the
officer
states
they're,
viewing
it
as
intimidation
and,
if
you're
doing
it
to
intimidate
them.
I
reply
I'm
definitely
not
doing
it
to
intimidate
them
again.
I
was
over
400
feet
away
and
so
far
away
the
patrons
of
a201
park
came
over
to
where
I
was
parked
to
record
me
patrons
likely
needed
to
come
over
to
my
car
to
record
me,
because
I
was
over
400
feet
away
and
likely
too
far
to
get
a
picture
of
me,
yet
they
called
the
police
and
state.
G
G
While
I
sat
in
my
car
and
yet
the
person
who
called
the
police
on
me
wanted
to
make
sure
it
was
noted
that
they
believe
this
female
is
planning
on
being
violent.
This
person,
who
called
the
police
on
me
for
the
third
time
the
same
person
who
greeted
me
at
the
planning
commission
meeting,
who
came
over
to
say
hi
at
the
playground,
falsa
reported
females
planning
on
being
violent.
That
should
not
happen.
A
A
All
right
last
call
for
anybody
in
the
council
chambers
to
come
forward,
no
one
on
the
line
and
no
one
coming
forward
in
the
council
chambers.
So
we
will
close
tonight's
public
comment
period
and
move
on
to
item
five
on
our
agenda,
which
is
the
introductory
items
and
5.1
which
is
introduction
of
new
employees.
A
We've
been
doing
this
for
a
few
weeks
now
and
get
a
chance
to
catch
up
on
the
employees
who
were
new
during
the
pandemic,
and
we
didn't
get
a
chance
to
say
hello
to
them,
because
we
obviously
weren't
in
the
council
chambers
tonight
we've
got
carl
keel.
Our
public
works
director
and
members
of
the
public
work
staff
who
are
here
this
evening
to
to
say
hello.
H
Mr
keel,
thank
you
mayor
good
evening
council.
As
the
mayor
noted,
we
have
a
number
of
new
public
works
employees
that
we'd
like
to
introduce
this
evening,
maybe
I'll
just
go
through
them
by
by
divisions
and
we'll
start
with
christian
christie.
Nanagal
christian
is
a
civil
engineer.
He
joins
us
from
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
works
in
our
engineering
department.
Obviously
he
is
one
of
the
people
that
are
responsible
for
the
design
and
the
building
of
all
the
public
improvements
that
we
do
in
engineering.
H
H
H
H
The
next
couple,
folks
are
all
folks
in
our
utilities
department,
and
these
are
utility
operators
and
maintenance
workers,
as
I
noted
at
our
last
meeting.
These
are
the
folks
that
take
care
of
our
sewer
and
water
and
are
the
people
that
respond
in
the
middle
of
the
night
for
for
water
main
breaks
or,
if
they're,
sewer,
backups
and
on
the
ongoing
cleaning
of
our
sewer
systems.
H
H
B
Have
a
whole
lot
to
say,
but
it's
just
like
you
know.
Living
in
bloomington
here
has
been
great
for
me.
I've
been
here
for
at
least
17
years
and
finally
got
a
job
working
for
bloomington,
which
is
a
city.
I
love,
so
it's
it's
a
great
to
work
for
the
place
you
live
in,
so
it's
nice
to
be
here.
Thank
you.
H
In
utilities
is
adam,
schappe
he's
corrected
me
three
times
so
far
on
that
one
adam
adam
grew
up
in
inferior
bolt
on
on
a
dairy
farm
and
currently
actually
still
farms
with
his
dad,
where
they
have
over
100
cattle.
A
mix
of
beef,
cattle
and
of
dairy
cattle
comes
to
us
as
a
man
from
a
manager
from
semstone
down
in
northfield.
C
F
A
C
H
H
A
C
H
H
All
right,
yes,
you
so
mike
is
er.
He's
a
new
employee
in
public
works.
I
wouldn't
say
he's
a
new
employee
to
the
city.
He
has
worked
for
a
number
of
years.
He
worked
at
our
golf
courses
and
then
more
recently
kind
of
joined
our
crew
as
a
park.
Maintenance
worker
in
public
works,
so
mike
comes
to
us
with
a
degree
in
environmental
geography
from
the
university
of
minnesota.
H
As
I
noted,
he
was
worked
as
a
groundskeeper
at
duane
for
a
number
of
years
and
we're
actually
very
pleased
to
have
him
kind
of
permanently
over
in
public
works.
I
think
mike
has
spent
a
lot
of
time
at
the
city
and
even
in
public
works.
He
was
always
part
of
our
our
plowing
crew
in
the
winter
for
the
past
couple
of
years.
So
we're
very
excited
to
have
him
kind
of
as
a
regular
employee
with
us.
So
mike.
B
A
H
Please,
oh
a
late
show,
but
he
got
dressed
up,
which
is
a
good
deal.
This
is
a
this.
Is
a
roger
rudstrom
he's
a
utility
worker
also,
but
it
works
in
our
water
plant.
So
he
is
one
of
the
people
that
are
responsible
for
providing
our
award-winning
water
roger.
I
don't
know
if
you
like
to
say
a
few
words.
C
I
C
Anyways,
I'm
roger
redstrom
and
yeah.
I
work
at
the
water
treatment
plant.
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
work
here.
I've
been
enjoying
everything
about
it
and
learning
a
lot
and
I
just
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
I
came
from
working
at
pepsi
as
a
bulk
delivery
driver
and
once
again
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
roger.
Thank
you
again,
welcome
to
all
of
you.
Thank
you
very
much
as
as
somebody
who
spent
the
summer
sewer
jetting
sewers
in
sartell
minnesota
during
college.
I
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you
do
and
understand
the
work
that
goes
into
it
to
to
keeping
everything
underground
and
above
ground
and
the
nuts
and
bolts
kind
of
stuff
running.
So
thank
you
all
very
much
greatly
appreciated
nice
to
meet.
You
all
hope
to
see
you
again
soon.
Thank
you.

Hi
motion
carries
seven
zero
item.
Seven
on
our
agenda
are
hearings,
ordinances
and
resolutions,
and
tonight
we
have
five
public
hearings
and
we
will
start
with
our
first
public
hearing,
which
is
a
hearing
to
adopt
a
resolution
approving
the
assessment
role,
2021-1
and
brian
hansen
from
our
developer
development
coordinator,
and
I
believe,
darren
reaser
civil
engineer
are
going
to
lead
us
through
this
good
evening
and
welcome.
J
Check
check
there
we
go.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
council.
My
name
is
brian
hanson,
as
you
mentioned,
I'm
the
development
coordinator
here
in
public
works
and
engineering
and
I'm
joined
tonight
by
darren
rezak.
The
project
engineer
and
we're
gonna
give
a
short
presentation
here
on
the
assessment
role
for
the
2021
pmp
project.
Now
darren
started
off
with
some
construction
comments.
K
All
right,
so
what
you
see
on
there
is
a
couple
some
of
the
dates,
the
key
dates
for
our
property
owner
contact.
So
initially
we
sent
mailers
to
initial
assessment
notices
to
properties
that
were
gonna,
be
on
the
reconstruct
project
included
in
there.
We
also
had
information
for
our
informational
meetings
as
well
as
the
excuse
me
public
hearing.
K
We
also
send
out
construction
mailers,
which
kind
of
gives
residents
a
kind
of
an
idea
of
some
of
the
construction
activities
and
what's
going
to
be
happening
as
well
as
contact
info
for
city
staff
that
are
going
to
be
helping
out
on
the
project,
we
sent
the
final
assessment
notices
middle
of
september,
and
then
we
held
two
property
owner
informational
meetings,
more
specific
to
the
assessments
at
public
works
on
the
28th,
and
that
brings
us
to
tonight.
The
public
hearing
for
the
assessments.
K
So
the
pavement
pavement
excuse
me:
pavement
management
program
was
initially
started
in
1991
and
what
that
does
is
we
use
a
method
called
the
pavement
condition
index
and
what
that
does?
Is
it
basically
gives
a
each
street
segment,
a
numerical
value
between
100
and
0.,
with
100
being
a
brand
new
street
and
a
zero
being
a
street?
K
That's
kind
of
has
no
more
usable
life
in
it
and
with
that
city
staff
that
are
trained
in
identifying
pcis
and
and
assessing
those
they
inspect
about
a
third
of
the
city
each
year,
and
so
what
we
do
is
we
take
that
pcis
that
they
have
compiled
and
that
allows
us
to
forecast
future
years
for
projects.
So
every
year
we
we
engineering
staff,
as
well
as
the
maintenance
staff
go
through
and
we
put
together
our
five-year
cip
map.
So
that
includes
our
reconstruct
projects,
as
well
as
our
overlay
projects.
K
Street
segments
that
are
you
know,
identified
as
recon
or
that
are
identified
as
overlays
are
also
bundled
together
in
into
two
larger
projects,
one
being
the
overlay
and
one
being
the
recon,
and
that
does
pro
and
what
that
does
is
it
provides.
An
economy
of
scale
obviously
lowers
assessments
for
the
individual
property
owners
as
well
as
lowers
the
the
city's
portion
that
that
we
contribute
for
the
projects
and
then
at
the
bottom.
K
There
we
see
the
cost
share,
as
well
as
our
special
assessment
percentages,
so
single
and
two
family
homes
they're
assessed
at
25
of
the
cost,
and
then
all
other
properties
are
assessed
at
50
and
we
do
have
two
separate
assessments,
so
streets
that
don't
have
curb
and
gutter
are
assessed,
a
curbing
assessment
and
then
streets
that
don't
have
curb
and
gutter
and
then
also
have
existing.
Curb
and
gutter
are
assessed.
A
surfacing
assessment.
So.
K
We
do
storm
sewer
insulation
if
the
street
segment
needs
it
and
that
is
hired
out
by
a
third
party
contractor.
The
overlay
portion
of
the
project
is
essentially
what
they
do.
Is
they
kind
of
grind
down
the
the
top
inch
to
two
inches
of
pavement
and
coat
that
with
a
new
layer
of
asphalt
over
the
top,
and
that
is
also
completed
by
a
third-party
contractor
and
then
the
seal
coat
as
well
as
trail
maintenance
are
done
by
our
in-house
maintenance
staff
and
then
trail
construction.
K
K
So
what
you
see
here
are
two
visualizations,
so
the
visuals
visualization
on
the
left
is
a
street
segment
that
isn't
part
of
the
city's
pmp
so
prior
to
the
the
payment
management
program
being
implemented.
So
what
you
do
is
you'd
have
a
new
street
that
was
reconstructed
and,
and
we
would
rate
that
as
a
pci
of
100
and
then
obviously
over
time.
K
That
would
degrade
down
to
a
zero
pci
with
no
more
usable
life
and
the
project
would,
you
know,
need
to
be
restarted
and
reconstructed
and
then
the
visualization
on
the
right
is
kind
of
a
depiction
of
how
we
manage
the
streets
now,
so
the
the
pcis
that
are
in
the
65
to
100,
we
would
use
a
sealcoat
method.
Pcis
that
are
the
35
to
65,
would
be
the
overlay
and
then
anything
less
than
35
is
what
we
would
do
on
a
reconstruct
project.
J
That's
as
high
as
it
goes,
I
guess
all
right
I'll
make.
Do
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
actual
special
assessments
ourselves
at
this
point
so
minnesota
state
statute.
429
is
what
gives
cities
or
municipalities
the
right
to
assess
for
certain
improvement
projects
such
as
the
pmp
project,
as
darin
mentioned,
the
city's
policy
has
been
in
place
since
1962
our
methodology
for
assessing
properties
for
these
types
of
projects
and
the
city's
basis
for
the
assessment
calculations
is
using
an
aff
or
a
adjusted
front
footage.
J
If
we
can
go
back
one
there,
you
go.
Thank
you
so
for
this
year's
project
for
the
2021
pmp,
the
total
project
cost
came
in
at
just
over
seven
million
dollars
and,
as
darren
mentioned,
that
included,
surfacing
curb
and
gutter
work.
Utility
work
and
traffic
improvements,
as
well
only
surfacing
and
curb
and
gutter,
were
the
only
improvements
that
properties
were
subject
to
an
assessment
for
again
depending
on.
If
there
was
already
curb
and
gutter
in
place
or
not.
J
So
this
year
we
were
surfacing
the
total
surfacing
cost
for
that
improvement
came
in
at
just
under
four
million
dollars.
So
you
can
see
that
100
rate,
if
we
were
to
take
the
total
cost
of
the
surfacing
divided
by
the
total
aff
of
all
properties
that
were
subject
to
a
surfacing
assessment.
We
get
100
rates.
That
would
be
the
rate
that
we
would
need
to
assess
property
owners
to
cover
100
of
the
cost
of
the
surfacing.
J
As
darin
mentioned,
we
assess
at
that
25
and
50
rate
depending
on
the
type
of
property.
So
you
can
see
the
math
how
that
works
out
to
get
to
that
61.71
for
the
50
rate
for
surfacing
and
that
3086
for
the
25
rate,
so
doing
the
same
math
again
for
the
curb
and
gutter.
You
see
that
cost
came
in
at
just
under
1.9
million
dollars,
for
the
total
improvement
cost
you'll
notice
that
the
aff,
or
that
that
21
thousand
eight
twenty
forty
you
see
there
is
a
lower
number
than
that.
J
Thirty,
two
thousand
three
forty
five
above
for
surfacing
again.
That's
because
not
all
properties
that
were
subject
to
a
surfacing
assessment
were
subject
to
a
curb
and
gutter
assessment,
because
there
was
curb
and
gutter
in
place
on
some
segments
so
doing
that.
Math
again
you
see
the
breakdown
for
the
50
and
25
rate.
I
do
want
to
point
out
in
the
cost
breakdown
that
was
included
with
the
agenda
item.
If
you
were
to
do
the
math
across
for
all
of
the
the
total
aff
times
the
rate
for
the
curb
and
gutter
and
servicing.
J
For
that
50
rate,
the
numbers
won't
equal
out
and
that's
because
we
did
adjust
the
assessment
rates
for
two
properties
at
a
previous
council
meeting,
based
on
the
special
benefit
that
those
properties
would
receive
from
the
assessment.
So
we
adjusted
those
assessments
down,
which
is
why
those
numbers
don't
equate,
but
that
was
a
artificial
adjustment
based
on
the
special
benefit
consultation
report
which
we
solicited
prior
to
bringing
the
levy
before
council
this
evening.
J
The
contractor
for
this
year's
project
is
having
issues
procuring
materials
to
finish
the
storms
who
are
working
that
area.
As
we
all
know,
supply
chains
are
having
issues
right
now
and
the
contractor
is
not
able
to
get
all
the
materials
on
site
in
order
to
in
enough
time
to
complete
the
work.
Yet
this
year,
so
they're
going
to
push
back
the
work
in
that
neighborhood
until
the
spring
of
2022..
J
So
staff
is
recommending
delaying
the
levying
of
the
assessments
for
those
parcels
on
those
four
street
segments
until
next
year
when
that
work
is
completed,
so
the
assessment
rates,
the
interest
rate
and
the
total
assessment
bill
for
all
those
properties
would
be
locked
in.
So
it
would
not
change
their
assessment
rate
at
all.
How
it
would
do
is
delay
the
levying
of
that
assessment
for
another
year
until
that
work
is
completed,
that
the
total
amount
of
assessments
that
would
be
delayed
until
next
year
is
three
hundred
three
hundred
thirty.
J
Three
thousand
one
hundred
sixty
one
dollars
and
fourteen
cents
and
that
affects
51
properties
would
be
subject
to
that
included
in
that
total.
That
would
be
delayed
until
next
year.
So
we
would
be
back
before
you
next
year
at
this
time,
with
those
remaining
properties,
as
well
as
the
2022
pmp,
if
it
was
to
be
ordered
by
the
council
later
this
year,
and
there
are
sufficient
funds
currently
in
the
pmp
account
to
cover
those
assessments
to
delay
those
for
another
year.
J
J
Interest
still
accrues
on
the
balance
on
an
annual
basis,
while
it's
in
the
deferral
status,
so
that's
important
to
note
and
the
criteria
are
listed
there.
I
will
note
that
this
earlier
this
year,
we
did
include
active
military
personnel
as
a
qualifying
condition
for
this
hardship,
deferral,
which
is
consistent
with
state
statute
as
well,
and
then
the
last
thing
I
want
to
point
out
is:
there
is
an
appeal
process
again
through
state
statute.
J
J
So
again,
just
kind
of
recap:
the
pmp
program,
it's
the
it
prolongs
the
pavement
life
as
darren
mentioned
earlier.
It
keeps
the
city's
infrastructure
in
good
condition.
It
maintains
or
increases
the
property
values
of
the
properties
here
in
bloomington,
and
reduces
the
overall
cost
of
maintenance
for
the
streets
in
bloomington.
A
Very
good
and
and
I've
always
appreciated
how
it's
broken
down
to
a
25.75.
Obviously,
the
work
done
in
front
of
anybody
any
individual's
home.
Obviously,
as
you
said,
increases
their
property
value
and
they
benefit
from
it,
but
they
paid
25
percent
of
the
cost
of
that.
It
also
benefits
the
city
of
bloomington,
so
the
rest
of
the
city
of
bloomington
taxpayers
pick
up
an
additional
75
percent
of
that,
and
I
know
there
are
other
cities
that
have
a
special
assessment
at
100.
A
You
know
what
we're
going
to
do
it
this
way,
we'll
I'll
call
to
see
if
there's
anyone
to
come
forward
in
the
council
chambers
and
then
we'll
double
back
to
our
on
on
the
phone
folks
and
see
if
there's
anybody
on
the
phone
and
do
it
more
as
a
group
thing
and
see
if
anybody's
there,
but
we'll
maintain
the
the
formalities
we
have
done
in
past
in
the
past.
Looking
to
see,
if
there's
anybody
there.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
M
A
L
A
Aye
motion
carries
7-0.
Thank
you
very
much
and
certainly
understandable
on
the
on
the
materials
issue.
It's
I
think,
affecting
a
lot
of
people
in
a
lot
of
different
ways.
So
thank
you
for
that
clarification
and
make
sure
that
everybody
knows
that
the
situation
in
those
parts
of
the
city
appreciate
it
moving
on
to
item
7.2,
another
public
hearing.
This
is
a
public
hearing
regarding
park
rules,
ordinance
amendment
and
our
city
attorney.
Melissa.
Manderscheid
will
be
taking
the
lead
on
this.
Ms
vanderscheid.
C
C
A
G
Thank
you.
The
city
stated
in
that
paragraph.
These
this
park,
rule
in
the
city
code,
is
more
trouble
than
it
is
worth,
and
that
concerns
me
is
a
statement
indicating
support
for
the
city
code
restricting
photography,
regardless
that
it
is
unconstitutional
quote
from
attorney
robert
mues.
The
first
amendment
fully
protects
our
clients
right
to
gather
information
through
photographing
and
videotaping,
and
this
is
particularly
this
the
case
here,
because
she's
filming
public
matters
related
to
a
public
controversy,
as
the
courts
have
explained.
G
The
right
to
freedom
of
speech
includes
not
only
the
actual
expression
of
one's
views,
thoughts,
opinions
and
other
information
concerning
matters
of
public
interest,
but
also
non-expressive
conduct
that,
interestingly,
facilitates
one's
ability
to
exercise
free
speech
rights,
including
effort
to
gather
evidence
and
information
by
photographing
and
videotaping.
Here,
the
city
and
county
seek
to
make
a
crime
out
of
what
under
the
constitution
cannot
be
a
crime.
G
The
threats
of
prosecution
are
aimed
directly
at
activity
protected
by
the
first
amendment,
an
example
of
what
the
city
made
a
crime
teenagers
taking
pictures
in
the
park
without
parent
permission.
The
a
circuit
judge
asked
the
question:
if
two
students
stopped
at
the
park
to
take
pictures,
would
they
need
parent
permission,
and
the
answer
was
yes,
another
example
of
another
example
appearing
to
take
a
picture
of
a
child.
I
am
standing
here
with
my
phone.
Am
I
taking
a
picture?
Am
I
texting
someone
am
I
taking
a
picture
of
a
council
member
or
a
background?
G
How
would
someone
know
that
a
person
is
taking
a
picture
of
a
child
without
permission
or
taking
a
picture
to
the
left
right
above
below?
You
do
not
know
without
looking
at
the
picture,
the
eighth
circuit
judge
asked:
how
do
you
know
if
it
is
a
picture
of
a
child
versus
an
adult
without
considering
content?
G
The
response
was
that
a
child
would
say
this
person
put
a
camera
right
next
to
me,
pressing
the
button
or
an
adult
would
say
they
witness
a
person
taking
a
picture
of
a
child
that
a
jury
would
not
have
to
see
a
photograph
to
convict
someone.
If
a
photograph
was
taken
in
front
of
many
witnesses
and
deleted,
it
is
still
taking
a
photograph
again.
Did
I
take
a
picture
of
a
council
member
which
one
and
if
not,
what
did
I
take
a
picture
of
in
august
2018?
G
The
incident
where
four
children
approached
me
and
one
says
my
first
and
last
name,
the
report
inaccurately
states
harassing
a
group
of
juveniles
by
videotaping
them
at
the
park
and
she
believed
ness
was
recording
them
and
ness
had
some
sort
of
camera
attached
to
her
shirt,
which
she
thought
might
be
her
phone
a
child.
Inaccurately
said
I
was
videotaping
them
at
the
park,
and
the
city
believes
that,
regardless
that
no
video
was
taken,
that
a
jury
would
not
have
to
see
a
photograph
to
convict
that
should
be
a
concern
to
all
residents.
G
G
Is
this
statement
indicating
support
for
the
previous
state
harassment
statute
that
was
unconstitutional
under
the
first
amendment
that
did
not
include
intent
from
nest
versus
city
of
bloomington?
There
has
been
statute
facially
and
as
applied
to
plaintiff
ness
express
activity
as
set
forth
in
this
complaint
is
vague
and
overbroad
in
violation
of
the
first
amendment.
This
is
the
previous
harassment
statute.
G
Definition
as
used
in
this
section
harass,
means
to
engage
in
intentional
conduct,
which
the
actor
knows
or
has
reason
to
know,
would
cause
a
victim
under
the
circumstances
to
feel
frightened,
threatened,
oppressed,
persecuted,
intimidated
and
causes.
This
reaction,
the
part
of
the
victim,
no
proof
of
specific
intent
required
again
in
2018,
four
children
approached
me
and
once
said
my
first
and
last
name
and
a
citation
was
written
based
on
a
report
that
they
were
afraid.
G
I
was
being
neighborly
talking
to
children
who
live
behind
me
as
I
have
previously,
and
because
it
is
reported
that
they
were
afraid,
a
citation
was
written
for
harassment
and
stalking.
Talking
to
children
is
not
harassment
and
talking
to
them.
Why
they,
while
remaining
on
the
playground,
is
not
stalking.
Thank
you.

8.1,
which
is
a
presentation
on

sustainable
bulky

management
program,
and
we
will
have
public

as
well.

and
they're,
going
to
lead
us
through
the
sustainable
bulky
item
management
plan
good
evening.
Welcome
well.
O
Good
evening,
mayor
bessie
and
council
members,
as
mayor
mentioned,
I'm
ellen
bialis,
the
deputy
director
of
public
works
and
with
me
this
evening,
is
laura
horner.
Our
project
coordinator
for
solid
waste
and
recycling,
and
we're
here
this
evening
to
seek
your
permission
to
proceed
forward
with
a
new
plan
for
handling
bulky
materials
in
bloomington
next
side
slide,
please
carolyn
to
start
us
off.
I
wanted
to
share
a
brief
reminder
of
how
we
came
to
be
proposing
a
new
framework
for
handling
these
materials
in
2019.
O
The
city
council
directed
the
sustainability
commission
to
study
the
environmental
footprint
of
our
spring
curbside
cleanup
program.
They
asked
us
to
do
that
in
order
to
make
the
program
more
environmentally
beneficial,
reduce
the
impacts
of
the
program
and
yet
still
maintain
a
high
quality
accessible
service
for
residents
to
remove
bulky
items
in
2020.
O
After
a
year
of
studying
the
issues
and
researching
potential
strategies,
the
sustainability
commission
proposed
a
new
model
to
the
city
council
that
included
vouchers
for
one
or
two
bulky
items
to
be
left
at
the
curb
and
the
start
of
one
or
two
community
drop-off
events
that
would
be
open
and
accessible
to
all.
Bloomington
residents
in
the
spring
of
2021
that
proposed
model
was
shared
with
the
community
and
a
robust
community
engagement
campaign.
O
N
So
with
that
and
given
the
volume
of
feedback
we
received,
we
we
realized
that
it's
clear
that
there's
a
lot
of
you
know
engagement
on
this
topic.
So
after
taking
a
closer
look
at
the
feedback
we
received
and
really
evaluating
that
and
considering
additional
observations,
we
decided
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
designing
a
program
that
fit
with
the
values
that
we
originally
set
out
to
achieve
in
this
plan,
but
also
to
incorporate
what
we
had
heard
and
learned
through
our
engagement
process.
N
So
the
result
of
that
process
again
is
the
recommendation
that
we
are
presenting
this
evening,
which
I
will
walk
through
in
just
a
moment,
but
we
did
take
this
updated
proposal
back
to
the
community
this
summer.
In
august,
we
again
utilized
the
let's
talk,
bloomington
page
as
well
as
held
another
city-wide
listening
session
on
the
topic,
and
the
responses
received
during
that
listening
session
were
supportive
of
this
new
proposal.
N
Overall
again,
we
do
know
that
the
feedback
we
received
comes
from
just
a
small
section
of
the
community
and
that,
with
any
changes
that
we
ultimately
make,
it
is
very
important
that
we
do
a
broad
engagement
and
education
process
in
any
program.
Changes
slide.
So
at
this
time,
I'll
walk
through
our
updated
recommendation.
N
That
does
include
several
different
program
components.
So,
first
we're
recommending
holding
what
we're
calling
a
reimagined
curbside
cleanup
every
other
year
and
we
would
limit
the
items
that
are
accepted
during
that
that
event.
So
any
small
item
that
could
fit
in
a
residence
large
garbage
cart
would
not
be
accepted.
N
We
think
that
doing
an
event
similar
to
what
we
have
done
in
the
past
does
address.
Residents
concerns
we
heard
about
vehicle
access
and
it
still
keeps
the
program
convenient
and
allows
some
opportunity
for
rummaging
and
overall
will
still
reduce
the
cost
of
the
program
since
the
event
will
be
held
every
other
year.
N
So
the
second
program
component
is
to
hold
a
drop-off
event
for
recyclable
materials
that
would
be
held
every
year.
This
element
of
the
plan
would
be
open
to
multi-family
residents
to
participate
in
some
recycling
activities,
and
it
also
encourages
reuse
of
some
items
that
could
be
collected
at
these
sorts
of
events.
N
N
N
A
A
None
we
have,
we
have
set
this
up
or
we
have
organized
this
as
a
as
a
public
comment
opportunity
for
folks.
Goodness
knows,
there's
been
plenty
of
public
comment.
Opportunities
for
people
and
they've
certainly
taken
advantage
of
that,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
had
one
more
opportunity
with
the
council
president
to
look
at
these
suggested
recommendations
and
see
if
they
have
anything.
A
Well,
it
sounds
like
people
talk
themselves
out
to
be
my
guest.
Looking
at
the
the
number
of
bits
of
feedback
that
you
did
get,
I
think
everybody
had
an
opportunity
to
provide
their
input
and
their
their
suggestions
and
their
feedback,
and
goodness
knows
they
did
so,
and
I
mean,
as
we
talked
about
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
I
think
that
was
an
incredibly
important
part
of
this
whole
process,
the
feedback
that
you
received
from
the
community
and
then
the
changes
that
you
made
in
the
recommendations
and
the
suggestions.
I
I
think
that's
I.
A
I
can't
recall
something
that
has
been
modified
this
substantially
after
receiving
community
feedback.
In
my
time
on
the
council,
I
don't
recall
that
that
this
is-
and
it's
a
very
good
example
of
it
to
to
getting
the
information
hearing
from
folks
and
realizing.
Okay,
let's,
let's
take
a
different
look
at
this
and
kind
of
look
at
it
with
a
different
lens
and
see
what
we
might
come
up
with
and
frankly,
I
think
you've
come
up
with
something
very
good
here
and
the
feedback
that
I've
heard
from
people
about.
A
I
May
I
just
wanted
to
you
know,
really
amplify
and
echo
your
your
comments
and
really
just
thank
the
staff
for
their
hard
work.
I
know
there
were
difficult
times
and
I
appreciate
your
willingness
to
pay
attention
to
the
details
and
really
listen
and
even
make
that
pivot
that
you
guys
mentioned.
I
think
that's
real
notable
and
it
just
it's
amazing
to
me
how
popular
this
program
is
and
how
much
change
we
have
made.
You
know
some
might
say.
Well,
maybe
we
haven't
pushed
enough,
but
I'm
not
saying
that
at
all.
I
I
think
this
is
an
excellent
place
to
start
as
we
we
talked
about
the
sustainability
commission
that
that
this
is
just
the
beginning
of
this
piece
and
we'll
go
back
and
look
at
this
again
and
in
some
many
years.
But
I'm
amazed
there's
nobody
here
to
comment.
That's
I
don't
think
I've
ever
seen
that.
B
Thank
you
mary.
Well,
I
want
to
just
echo
the
comments
I
this
has
been
an
impressive
amount
of
work
and
I
I
know
I
have
heard
from
a
number
of
residents
how
they
appreciate
that
the
feedback
that's
been
offered
has
been
incorporated,
and
I
agree,
I
think
what
has
resulted
is,
I
think,
ultimately,
a
a
better
product
at
the
very
least,
a
better
transition
to
something
in
the
future.
My
only
suggestion-
and
I'm
sure
it's
not
anything
that
you
weren't
already
aware
of,
but
looking
through
sort
of
the
different
components
of
this
recommendation.
B
I
think
it's
going
to
be
critically
important
to
know
what
is
accepted
when,
because
I
you
know
even
just
reading
through
that-
and
I've
seen
this
proposal
a
few
times
now.
I
was
a
little
bit
confused,
so
I
think
you
know
the
the
more
concrete
you
can
make
that
the
more
specific
and
clear
you
can
make
as
to
what
is
accepted
when
what
is
not
what
will
be
picked
up?
Won't
that
kind
of
thing.
B
L
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
echo
the
comments
already
made.
You
guys
have
done
a
fantastic
job
and
really
really
appreciate
your
the
community
engagement
process
and
your
your
willingness
to
to
really
take
all
of
that
into
consideration
and
just
kind
of
start
from
scratch.
So
thank
you.
I
just
have
a
quick
question
as
we're
the
the
point
that
was
just
made
around
this.
Not
being
the
end
of
the
conversation
made
me
curious.
L
What
kind
of
metrics
we're
looking
at
as
we
look
at
cost
savings
and
reducing
the
carbon
footprint
and
all
those
things,
and
so
what
are
we?
What
kind
of
indicators
we're
looking
at
and
then
how
often
we're
going
to
be
kind
of
evaluating
how
this
program
is
doing
and
where
there
might
need
to
be
adjustments?
What
are
you
thinking
in
terms
of
timing.
N
Sure
I
think
one
of
the
main
metrics
that
we'll
be
able
to
use
to
measure
the
success
of
the
program
is
the
tons
of
material
collected
both
for
garbage
as
well
as
then
what
we
can
pick
up
for
recycling
and
reuse.
So
really,
that's
our
end
goal
is
to
get
those
numbers
up
and
so
each
year
I
think
in
in
all
of
the
programs
we'll
be
able
to
request
and
require
that
we
receive
all
those
metrics.
N
So
we
can
really
make
changes
and
tweak
that
and
then
another
metric
we
can
use
is
participation.
We
do
set
out
rate
counting
right
now
for
the
curbside
cleanup
program.
So
we'll
continue
to
do
that
and
then
we
can
also
continue
to
or
start
tracking
the
participation
in
these
new
program
elements
and
then,
lastly,
of
course
we
can,
we
can
track
the
cost
of
the
programs
to
make
sure
that
we're
really
seeing
a
reduction
as
we've
anticipated.
D
O
Well
sure,
councilmember
loga
mayor,
we
decided
to
stick
with
the
same
rate
for
this
year
because
we
are
not
100
certain
about
all
of
our
costs
at
this
point
in
time,
particularly
for
that
component,
where
we
would
do
the
reuse
pickup
at
the
curb,
we
know
that
that
part
will
need
to
go
out
for
bid
and
we
are.
We.
We've
talked
with
some
potential
vendors
to
get
estimated
costs
on
that,
but
we
don't
have
a
final
hard
and
fast
number.
O
D
D
O
D
D
F
D
A
A
If
there
is-
and
I
think
we
would
be
very
happy
to
do
that-
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
wasn't
stepping
on
anybody's
toes
here
and
from
a
process.
Standpoint
council-
I
I
think,
we've
all
expressed
our
our
satisfaction
and
our
approval
of
this,
and
I
think
if
we
could
look
to
move
forward
with
this
and
get
this
underway
officially.
I
think
this
would
be
the
the
opportunity
to
do
so.
So
look
for
action
here.
I
A
C
I
A
P
A
A
A
A
Q
There
are
two
pilot
plans
that
I'll
be
reviewing
and
the
reason
behind
that
is,
as
we
discussed
back
in
august,
there
are
some
nuance
to
our
board
and
commissions,
so
some
are
established
by
state
statute.
Others
are
established
in
our
city
code
and
so
with
the
upcoming
schedules
that
we
had
for
appointments.
Q
So
the
first
pilot
plan
to
review
pertains
to
the
hra
commission
and
this
group
of
individuals.
They
have
terms
that
end
on
december
31st
each
year
so
this
year.
That's
why
you
see
the
two
different
timelines
for
the
pilot
plans,
and
so
we
did
some
connecting
with
legal
last
week
to
talk
about
some
proposed
changes
and
do
our
due
diligence
to
make
sure
that
we
weren't
out
of
line
with
what
state
statute
would
would
guide
us
to
do,
and
so
we're
working
this
week
to
open
a
application
for
the
hra
commission.
Q
We
will
do
that
here.
In
the
next
couple
days,
and
as
so,
the
application's
ready
to
go
I'll
review
in
a
moment
and
it's
just
a
matter
of
making
it
accessible
for
the
public
on
our
website
and
other
means
and
then
we'll
be
implementing
a
recruitment
plan,
starting
as
soon
as
the
application
opens
this
week
and
wrapping
up
on
october
31st,
which
is
the
application
deadline.
Q
That
deadline
was
set
to
allow
time
for
interviews,
and
in
this
case
those
conducting
the
interviews
are
proposed
to
be
staff
from
the
hra
and
the
chairperson
from
the
hre
commission,
and
so
that
would
take
place
the
week
of
november,
8th
and
november
15th
and
the
interviews
would
then
the
interviewers
would
develop
a
report,
bring
it
to
the
hre
commission
for
recommendation
and
upon
approval.
That
recommendation
would
then
be
provided
to
the
mayor,
and
in
this
case,
appointments
would
be
made
on
december
6th
and
with
the
hra.
Q
so
similar
process
to
what
we've
done
in
the
past
with
a
couple
additions
that
look
a
bit
different
than
what
we've
seen
previously
with
the
hra
commission
and
the
part.
The
rationale
there
is
that
we've
received
some
feedback
from
staff
and
from
members
of
the
commission
that
it's
really
important
to
have
voices
for
those
who
sit
around
the
table
involved
in
the
appointment
process.
And
so
the
purpose
there
is
really
to
help
meet
the
need
of
the
commission
at
hand.
By
leveraging
their
perspective
in
the
process
of
putting
together
a
recommendation.
Q
The
second
pilot
plan
that
we
have
been
putting
into
place
is
around
what
I
call
the
big
five.
So
this
is
where
we
see
our
biggest
pool
of
applicants
for
the
advisory
board
of
health,
the
creative
place,
making
commission
the
human
rights
commission,
the
parks,
art
and
recreation
commission
and
the
sustainability
commission,
and
these
are
groups
that
have
terms
beginning
march
1st
each
year,
and
so
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
well.
Q
You,
if
you
look
down
the
list
here,
you'll
see
that
interviews
are
proposed
to
take
place
in
january
and
so
part
of
the
reason
why
you
see
this
item
number
three
here
establish
the
date
and
committee
is
to
provide
that
transparency
to
applicants
before
we
open
the
application.
So
people
know
okay,
there's
in
there's
interviews
involved.
Q
Those
dates
we're
also
working
through
just
making
sure
we
don't
have
any
comp
conflicts
with
some
other
things
that
go
on
with
the
city
council,
such
as
some
dates
around
this
community-based
strategic
planning
project.
So
that's
why
you
don't
see
the
specific
date
indicated
in
january
at
this
time,
but
we
will
let
you
know
when
we
come
back
and
ask
who
would
like
to
be
involved
in
the
selection
committee.
Q
One
thing
I'll
also
point
out:
there
is
the
way
the
the
draft
policy
language
is
written.
Now
it
states
that
we
will
establish
an
in
a
selection
committee
and
that
all
city
council
members
are
invited
to
participate
in
that
process.
But
it
doesn't
stick
us
into
every
city
council
member
having
to
participate
in
that
process.
Q
1St.
So
we'll
transition
from
the
hra
application
opening
to
have
the
application
reflect
the
openings
for
the
five
boards
or
commissions
involved
in
this
pilot
plan,
also
new
to
the
approach
this
year,
we're
looking
to
offer
virtual
information
sessions
for
interested
applicants,
so
we
can
walk
through
the
application
and
provide
some
some
guidance
as
far
as
you
know,
okay,
here's
how
to
fill
it
out.
Q
But
ultimately,
when
we've
done
surveys
in
the
past
about
our
application
process,
we
hear
positive
feedback
about
the
the
ease
of
applying
and
the
way
the
online
application
works,
and
so
it's
more
so
about
really
helping
people
put
themselves
out
there
as
a
strong
candidate
for
a
border
commission.
So
that's
new
to
the
plan
this
year
we
look
to
close
the
application
on
december
22nd
2021.
Q
Q
So
at
this
time
I'm
going
to
transition
my
screen
here
if
you
could
be
patient
for
just
a
couple
seconds
to
walk
through
the
board
and
commission
application,
it's
something
that
we
have
online
and
that's
a
relatively
recent
process
improvement
that
took
place
shortly
before
I
started
helping
out
with
the
coordination
of
this.
But
we
have
an
online
application,
which
is
great.
Q
Q
Q
So
we
always
have
a
data
privacy
notice
at
the
top
of
our
application,
and
we
have
it
on
here
actually
a
few
different
times
to
make
sure
people
understand
how
their
data
will
be
used
and
then,
just
recently,
the
the
software
program
that
we
use
for
this
has
allowed
us
to
include
more
text
and
hyperlinks
on
our
application.
So
we've
built
it
up
a
bit
just
in
the
past
month
or
so,
and
so
we
include
a
call
out
for
where
the
city
has
openings
for
boards
and
commissions.
Q
This
statement
at
the
bottom
visit
blm.mn
boards
for
more
information
or
subscribe
for
updates
that
stays
on
this
forum
when
we
have
openings
and
when
we
don't
have
openings,
it
just
allows
people
with
some
clarity
on
how
they
can
find
more
information,
especially
for
not
accepting
applications
at
that
time.
I
do
receive
some
questions
in
the
off
season
asking
about
when
we'll
open
things
and
and
when
people
can
expect
to
be
able
to
apply.
So
we've
seen
some
response
to
that
so
from
here
the
application
is
fairly
basic.
Q
We
ask
for
contact
information,
and
then
we
ask
our
optional
demographic
questions
around
race
and
ethnicity,
age
range
and
housing
status.
Those
are
things
that
have
been
added
race,
ethnicity,
I
think
was
added
in
2018
and
then
age
range
and
housing
status
was
added
in
2020
and
so
we're
still
building
up
our
data
around
those
areas.
But
each
year
we
get
more
and
more
data,
which
has
been
really
great
to
see
and
track
our
progress
in
recruiting
a
diverse
pool
of
candidates.
Q
So
we
compare
not
only
the
applicant
pool,
but
also
those
who
are
appointed
with
the
data
that
we
collect,
and
then
we
ask
to
select
the
border
commission
you're
interested
in
serving
on,
and
so
we
are
able
to
customize
this.
So
it
only
has
options
for
those
that
have
openings,
and
then
we
have
three
basic
areas
of
questions.
The
first
is
to
please
describe
your
interest
in
serving
on
the
particular
border
commission
you're
applying
with
and
what
assets
or
expertise
you
bring
to
that
group.
Q
So
we
do
ask
that
people
are
specific,
so
if
they
want
to
apply
for
two
boards
of
commissions,
that's
okay,
but
they
do
have
to
complete
a
separate
application
for
each
in
the
case
that
maybe
that
doesn't
work
out
the
way
it's
supposed
to.
I
do
see
every
application
that
comes
in
and
if
there's
any
problems
with
the
way
something
is
submitted,
I
follow
up
with
those
individuals
directly.
Q
We
also
ask
about
educational
background,
so
people
can
choose
their
level
of
education
and
provide
a
description
of
what
their
experience
and
background
is.
And
then
we
ask
people
to
they
can
indicate
their
employer
name
and
where
they're
located
and
then
to
describe
any
professional
or
volunteer
experience
that
relates
to
the
board
or
commission.
They
are
applying
for.
Q
We've
received
some
comments
from
this
group
about
resumes,
so
I
haven't
made
any
changes
at
this
time
about
an
optional
resume.
Coming
as
alongside
this
application,
I
did
receive
some
feedback
from
hra
staff
indicating
that
they
like
to
see
resumes,
and
so
it's
a
change.
I
have
not
made,
but
I
know
we
have
heard
that
up
for
debate
with
this
group,
and
so
it's
definitely
something
that
we
can
talk
about
further,
while
I'm
here
with
you
this
evening
recently,
we
translated
all
of
the
the
text
at
the
bottom
here.
Q
So
we
have
english,
spanish
and
somali
for
things
like
please
submit
an
optional
resume.
We
have
our
ada
statement
and
then
we
have
the
data
privacy
notice
again
in
multiple
languages
and
then
what
happens
when
people
submit
their
application?
Is
it
comes
to
our
database?
I
receive
an
email
notice
and
and
then
I'm
able
to
follow
up
with
applicants
when
the
deadline
passes
to
let
them
know
what
to
expect
moving
forward.
Q
D
D
Q
Q
Q
Q
Commission
members,
the
the
idea
of
having
them
help
serve
on
the
selection
committee,
came
forward
primarily
from
staff
in
expressing
a
desire
to
have
some
perspective
involved
in
the
process
of
those
who
serve
on
the
board
or
commission,
but
to
not
have
that
come
from
staff
just
trying
to
eliminate
any
conflicts
of
interest
there,
and
so
we
have
not
brought
that
forward
to
the
individual
boards
and
commissions
at
this
time.
We're
waiting
until
after
discussion
tonight.
D
Okay
and
lastly,
you
didn't-
or
I
didn't
catch
it
at
least
talk
about
our
expectations
of
appointees
and
what
their
requirements
are.
So
things
like,
what's
the
date
of
the
meeting,
the
time
of
the
meeting
the
place
of
the
meeting
that
they
have
a
attendance
requirement
of
75
percent
those
kinds
of
things,
I
expect
that
that's
given
in
advance
is
that
going
to
be
true.
D
Q
Yes,
so
mayor
and
councilmember
belogo
we
do.
We
do
include
that
information
when
we
recruit
for
board
and
commission
applicants
and
so
for
most
boards
and
commissions
that
that
is
the
primary
requirement.
Is
that
you're
bloomington
resident
and
you
attend
75
of
the
meetings
and
then,
if
there
are
additional
requirements,
we
specify
that
as
well
and
the
recruitment
information.
D
Okay,
because
I
know
that
we've
all
had
some
appointments
who,
when
they
get
appointed,
say
oh
well,
that's
on
a
date
when
I
can't
I'm
not
available
and
I
go
to
florida,
for
you
know
six
months
out
of
the
year
during
the
winter
and
blah
blah
blah,
but
so
the
the
more
we
can
weed
that
out
and
make
that
aware
on
the
website
to
all
applicants
as
they're
filling
out.
The
application,
I
think,
is
advisable,
but
thank
you
for
the
time.
L
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
emily.
This
is
really
fantastic
and
it's
really
exciting
to
see
where
we've
come
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
in
these
conversations.
So
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions.
I
really
appreciate
kind
of
the
detailed
process
that
you
outlined
in
the
pilot
plan,
the
side
that
has
the
pilot
plan
on
it
for
the
big
five.
I
think
you
call
them-
and
I
don't
see
anything
in
that
about
the
kind
of
interview
framework
itself
and
the
questions.
L
So
I
just
have
questions
around
like
the
interview
format
and
will
there
be
standard
questions
across
interviewees
or
will
we
have
kind
of
a
section
of
the
interview
where
we
can
ask
questions
that
we
might
have
that
popped
out
on
their
application
and,
of
course,
thinking
about
that
through
a
lens
of
fairness
and
wanting
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we're
not
kind
of
asking
more
of
some
candidates
than
others.
So
I
guess
I'd
be
curious
to
know
what
your
thinking
has
been
around
the
interview
itself.
L
Okay,
that's
very
helpful
and
then
in
the
kind
of
the
portion
of
the
plan,
where
there's
the
reflecting
and
making
adjustments.
I
assume
that
you'll
also
kind
of
be
engaging
the
variety
of
stakeholders
that
are
involved
in
the
process,
so
possibly
the
board
and
commission's
chairs,
or
maybe
asking
a
couple
of
the
interviewees
to
or
the
applicants
to
provide
feedback
or
the
council
to
provide
feedback.
Q
Yes,
mayor
councilmember
carter,
that
is
correct.
We
do
have
a
bit
of
time
to
formulate
what
that
looks
like.
But
last
year
we
implemented
our
first
survey
of
applicants,
which
generated
a
lot
of
really
helpful
feedback
for
us
around
the
process,
and
so
we
will
do
that
again
as
well
as
engage
those
who
were
actively
involved
in
letting
us
know
how
things
went.
I'm
having
further
discussion.
B
Thank
you
mayor.
Excuse
me
well,
thank
you
emily
this.
This
is
really
really
good
is
this
is
one
of
the
first
issues
that
I
really
identified
when
I
was
serving
on
the
council
that
I
wanted
to
take
a
look
at
so
I'm
I'm
really
really
hurting
to
see
this
progress.
Just
a
couple
of
quick
questions
here.
Looking
at
the
plan
for
the
hra
commission,
I'm
I'm
seeing
that
it
states
appointments
by
mayor
approval
by
the
city
council.
B
F
B
I
don't
maybe
it's
just
been
so
long
since
I've
done
an
hra
appointment.
I
don't
remember
that
though
I
remember
us.
I
thought
I
remembered
us
casting
votes
and
and
picking
people
for
the
hra,
but
anyway
anyway,
that's
neither
here
nor
there,
okay,
I'm
I'm
assuming,
and
I
I'm
asking
you
to
tell
me
if
I'm
correct
in
this
assumption
that
the
selection
committee
members
will
I
mean
this-
will
be
a
series
of
committees
correct.
It's
not
just
one
committee
that
interviews
all
60
to
80
applicants.
Q
Yes,
mayor
and
councilmember
coulter
the
right
now.
What
we're
looking
at
is
simultaneous
interviews,
and
so
what
we
would
first
do
is
ask
for
the
city,
council
and
chair
people
to
indicate
if
they're
able
to
participate
and
then
we
would
confirm
who
that
group
is,
and
then
we
won't
know
specifically
what
the
simultaneous
interviews
will
look
like
until
we
see
the
applicant
pool
come
in
in
december
and
we
can
see
the
distribution
from
the
different
boards
and
commissions.
B
B
Some
of
us
I
mean
they're
there.
Let
me
rephrase
that
there
is
an
election
this
year
and
we
will
not
necessarily
know
the
makeup
of
the
city
council
in
october.
In
fact,
I
would
say
we
won't
because
you
know
election
date
is,
I
mean,
has
there?
Is
there
any
thought?
Maybe
this
is
a
question?
Is
there
any
thought
to
potentially
having
that
discussion
after
the
election?
So
there's
a
little
more
certainty
around
that.
Q
Q
B
Q
Yep
councilmember
coulter,
you
are
correct
that
is
listed
there
and
perhaps
that's
just
something
we
need
to
work
through.
You
know
we.
I
appreciate
you
pointing
that
out.
It
is
not
something
that
I
had
considered
in
the
dates.
I
was
more
thinking
about
trying
to
prioritize
when
we
have
that
application
launch
on
the
first,
and
so
I
will
take
that
comment
and
look
to
make
some
adjustments
based
on
on
what
makes
the
most
sense
with
the
election
taking
place
in
november.
So
thank
you.
I
So
just
four
quick
ones
here,
so
I'm
I
was
looking
at
the
form
itself
and
I'm
wondering
if,
if
staff
is
interested
or
open
to
the
idea
of
possibly
having
the
commissions,
look
at
those
application
forms
themselves
and
then
do
some
revision.
I
don't
know
if
we
have
a
technical
ability
to
do
that
where
we
get
some
feedback
from
commissions
and
kind
of
those
commissioners
are
already
there
and
say
hey.
I
These
are
a
couple
of
questions
that
I
wish
I
would
have
had
to
fill
out
when
I
was
applying
for
let's
say
for
the
sustainability
commission
or
for
human
rights,
any
thinking
around
that
or
or
has
that
been
considered
or
is
that
something
we
could
look
at
in
the
future?
Are
there
any
limitations
from
a
technology
standpoint.
Q
Mayor
councilmember
lowman-
that
is
not
something
that
had
been
considered
thus
far
and
we
do
see
from
our
most
recent
applicant
pool.
We
saw
a
lot
of
positive
feedback
about
the
application
itself
and
since
boarding
commission
members
haven't
been
actively
engaged
in
the
selection
and
appointment
process
in
the
past,
and
we
haven't
sought
out
that
feedback
we've
more
so
look
to
this
group.
Q
Also
in
recent
years,
we've
looked
to
streamline
the
application
to
try
to
make
it
as
as
easy
as
possible
for
somebody
to
fill
out,
and
so
that's
why
you
see
just
a
couple.
Questions
reflected
there
and
with
that
in
mind
there
it's
open
for
for
your
suggestions
and
I'll
definitely
note
down
the
desire
to
engage
others
in
boards
and
commissions
in
that
process.
Q
From
a
technology
standpoint,
it's
really
simple
to
add
a
question
to
the
application,
we're
able
to
update
the
form
and
keep
all
of
the
data
collection
and
the
data
analysis
intact,
and
so
we
could
just
add
another
section
with
open-ended
questions.
It's
pretty
pretty
straightforward
to
do
with
the
program
that
we
use.
I
And
I
do
I
do
know
that
just
for
my
interactions
with
the
sustainability
commission
and
the
kind
of
the
expertise
that
we
kind
of
look
for
there
may
be
a
need
there,
and
I
would
just
be
very
interested
to
see
what
our
our
chair
and
what
other
commission
members
would
think.
Given
the
the
the
technical
nature
of
some
of
our
our
work
so,
and
maybe
that
isn't
necessary
for
some
of
the
other
commissions,
but
wanted
to
just
throw
that
out
a
few
other
items
here.
I
Is
there
any
concern
that,
from
the
staff's
perspective
that
if
the
chair
isn't
there
to
kind
of
give
their
feedback
during
that
appointment
process,
I
understand
the
conflict
of
interest
that
you
might
get
a
different
level
of
of
feedback.
How?
How
would
we
deal
with
that?
I
just
was
curious.
What
staff
thought
about
that?
I
I
realized,
there's
a
conflict
there,
but
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
Q
Q
We
would
ask
the
border
commission
to
appoint
another
representative
from
their
group
to
serve
on
the
selection
committee,
so
whether
that's
somebody
else
from
the
executive
committee
or
just
another
member,
the
goal
would
be
to
have
representation
from
each
border.
Commission
involved
in
the
committee.
I
Fair
enough
just
going
to
jump
into
the
the
application
itself,
will
there
be
any
possibility
of
bringing
forward
those
folks
who
have
served
on
the
bloomington
learn
to
lead?
Would
there
ever
be
a
check
mark
that
we
consider
so
that
those
who
are
looking
at
the
application
or
council
members
of
the
mayor
would
know
very
easily
that
these
folks,
you
know,
took
some
extra
time
to
participate
in
that
program?.
Q
Q
I
A
A
I
think
you've
done
that
you've
done
a
nice
job
here,
trying
to
find
that
that
spot
and
trying
to
find
that
balance,
whether
it's
with
the
information
provided,
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
you're
doing
counseling
sessions
or
helping
folks
who
might
need
help
filling
out
an
application
like
this
and
I'm
assuming.
That
would
then
also
apply
toward
resume
building
and
doing
that
type
of
thing,
as
well
trying
to
put
that
that
kind
of
information
together.
So
it's
I
mean
the
questions
you
bring
forward.
A
But,
as
I
said,
ultimately,
it's
it's
a
job
interview
and
we
want
to
use
it
to
to
find
the
best
possible
people
for
our
boards
and
commissions
here
in
the
city
of
bloomington,
and
I
think,
based
on
looking
at
what
what
we've
done
for
the
past
10
years,
that
I've
been
on
the
council
and
and
the
process
that
we're
moving
forward.
Now.
A
Q
Okay,
well
mayor
council
members,
thank
you
for
inviting
me
here
tonight
and
thank
you
for
your
questions
and
your
comments.
I
know
you
know,
as
staff
and
boarding
commission
members
are
putting
this
together.
We
have
our
perspectives,
but
your
perspectives
as
those
decision
makers
and
people
who
are
making
these
appointments
is
really
valuable
for
us
to
make
sure
we're
not
missing
any
steps
or
anything.
That
would
be
valuable
for
you.
Q
So
I
there's
another
slide
in
your
packet
that
I'll
just
highlight
verbally
here.
Just
that
and
further
encouragement.
If
you
have
any
other
questions
or
suggestions
that
come
forward,
don't
hesitate
to
call
me
email
me
and
let
me
know
what
you
think
and
then
we'll
continue
to
provide
updates
to
you,
whether
it's
during
a
meeting
or
through
the
one
weekly
to
keep
you
informed
on
how
we
move
this
forward.
A
Q
A
P
P
We
set
up
two
listening
sessions
in
august
and
we
also
set
up
a
page
on
our.
Let's
talk
for
a
survey
for
those
who
couldn't
attend
the
let's
talk,
survey
had
50,
distinct
visitors,
only
two
participated
in
the
survey
and
our
session
on
august
5th.
We
had
six
attendees
and
on
august
9th
we
had
four,
and
so
the
first
question
was:
what
can
the
city
do
for
tobacco
retailers
to
surrender
their
licenses
early?
We
collected
a
lot
of
information,
a
lot
of
feedback
and
we
put
together
a
matrix.
P
P
A
I
I
appreciate
the
the
outreach
that
you
have
done
and
did
do
to
the
retailers
and
appreciate
the
feedback
that
they
did
provide
and
understand
the
lack
of
recommendation
for
anything
off
that
matrix.
I
I
just
in
looking
at
it.
I
had
a
hard
time
myself,
thinking
of
anything
that
made
logical
or
financial
or
economic
or
practical
sense
to
to
try
and
implement.
A
I
I
I'd
like
to
I'm
working
on
something
and
I'd
like
to
bring
it
back
later
on
at
a
later
period
of
time,
not
appropriate
at
this
time
to
discuss
that.
But
again
I
do
want
to
thank
staff
for
their
their
tireless
and
hard
work
on
this.
I
know
our
priority
has
always
has
been
around
this
public
health.
B
Thank
you
mayor
just
to
excuse
me
just
a
quick
question
here,
so
just
so,
I'm
clear
in
understanding
this
with
regards
to
electric
vehicle
charging
stations,
the
feedback
you
heard
was
for
lack
of
a
sort
of
a
better
term.
Businesses
were
looking
for
financial
support
in
constructing
them.
Correct,
correct,
okay,
that's
what
I
that's.
B
What
I
figured
I
my
recollection
is
that
we
have
already
adopted
city
code
around
ev
charging
stations
and,
and
all
of
that
I'm-
I
guess
my
question
is:
is
there
anything
you
know
beyond
what
we
have
done
in
terms
of
city
code
or
allowances
or
whatever
it
is,
that
could
potentially
obviously
not
provide
sort
of
a
direct
financial
assistance,
but
could
potentially
just
make
that
infrastructure
easier
for
folks
to
put
into
places.
Has
that
been
discussed
at
all.
P
B
Yes,
okay,
so
I
that
that
was
the
part
I
got.
I
guess
my
question,
okay,
beyond
sort
of
the
the
financial
assistance
is
there
I
mean,
is
there
something
that
we
could
do,
maybe
as
an
amen,
a
change
to
city
code
or
something
like
that
or
even
you
know?
Could
there
be
discussion
about
something
like
that,
so
that
it
wouldn't
I
mean
it
wouldn't
be
a
financial
incentive
or
assistance,
but
something
that
would
at
least
make
it
a
little
bit
easier
for
that
infrastructure
to
be
put
in
place?
P
So
I
apologize
mr
mayor
council
member
colter.
We
have
not
discussed
that
with
the
individual
retailer,
but
that
is
definitely
a
possibility.
There
were
a
number
of
things
that
people
asked
about
if
we
could
amend
there's
one
retailer,
that's
currently
in
a
residential,
zoned
location
and
he
asked.
Could
you
know
the
city
look
at
amending
the
code
to
allow
you
know
him
to
expand
his
business
there,
so
we
yes,
we
could
definitely
look
at
those.
If
there's
appetite
from
this
body.
B
Thank
you
yeah.
I
you
know
understanding
everything
else
you
have
on
your
plate.
I
don't
want
to
you
know,
put
too
much
else
on
there,
but
I,
I
think,
to
the
extent
that
we
can
get
it
kind
of
those
other
things
that
aren't
necessarily
sort
of
direct
financial
contributions
to
things
to
provide
some
assistance.
I
I
think
certainly
think
of
that
conversation
worth
having.
M
We
have
a
really
robust
community
outreach
and
engagement
plan
around
a
lot
of
our
larger
initiatives,
but
just
as
we're
looking
in
years
to
come
at
ordinance,
changes
or
whatever
it
may
be.
That
expect
that
affect
very
specific
parts
of
our
business
community
that
we're
getting
sheets
like
this.
With
all
these
bullet
points,
before
we're
voting
on
the
ordinance,
so
just
enough
to
think
about
moving
forward.
A
That
makes
sense,
also
anything
else
you
so
I
think
the
the
the
request
here
was
for
direction
now.
Council,
member
loman,
you
said
you
had
some
things
that
were
being
considered.
You
weren't
necessarily
in
a
position
to
talk
about
them
right
now.
I
don't
know
that
we,
you
know
we're
not
under
a
time
crunch
here,
to
to
act
necessarily
and
if
we,
if
we
push
this
out
by
60
days,
45
days,
something
like
that,
would
you
have
time
to
to
gather
more
information.
A
I
I
think
that's
very
doable,
I
mean
it
could
be
beyond
60
days.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
get
a
good
proposal
get
it
before
you
kind
of
last
last
opportunity
here
to
do
anything
around
this
particular
topic.
I
think
we
have
spent
a
lot
of
staff
time
on
this,
and
we've
got
a
number
of
other
things
that
are
coming
up.
I
A
So
I
will
trust,
then
I
will
rely
on
you,
council,
member
to
to
bring
the
information
forward
perhaps
to
to
work
through
the
city
manager
that
we
can
then
consider,
as
we
continue
to
move
this
forward.
If
we
have
any
additional
items
that
we
want
to
talk
about,
that,
you
not
only
fill
in
some
of
those
blanks,
but
we
find
the
time
to
talk
about
them
as
well.
F
F
So
I
you
know,
I'm
sure
that
some
of
you
were
leafing
through
it
a
little
bit
over
the
weekend
here,
but
you
may
not
have
discovered
the
error
in
the
pmp
street
reconstruction
project.
We
inadvertently
combined
the
amount
for
2022
and
2031.
It
got
added,
so
that
number
showed
up
as
18
million
for
next
year
when
in
reality
it's
only
supposed
to
be
7.2
million.
F
So
if,
if
you
were
very
studious
in
getting
ahead
of
your
homework
for
next
week-
and
you
saw
that
large
number
and
wondered
why
it
was
so
large-
we
have
found
that
air
and
we've
corrected
it.
So
the
updated
document
will
be
available
by
tomorrow
afternoon
and
it'll
be
the
same
link
that
was
included
in
the
info
that
went
out
to
you
on
friday.
F
So
if
you
want
to
go
back
in
tomorrow
evening,
leading
up
to
next
monday,
the
corrected
information
will
be
in
the
cip
and
then
the
other
piece
that
I
want
to
share
with.
You
is
actually
not
related
to
any
council
work
but
related
to
staff
issue.
You
might
remember,
back
in
april
of
this
year
our
communications
department
produced
a
video
about
one
of
our
police
officers,
matt
ryan,
who
was
working
through
a
battle
with
leukemia,
and
he
had.
F
So
if
folks
are
interested
and
able
it's
a
blood
drive
in
honor
of
officer,
matt
ryan,
they
can
go
over
to
500
west
98th
street
memorial,
blood
bank,
tuesday
and
wednesday
of
this
week
and
help
contribute,
because
the
need
is
really
severe
right
now
and
anything
that
we
can
do
to
help
our
co-workers
we'd
like
to
ask
the
community
to
help
with
that
too.
So
that's
all
I
have
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
babruggy.
F
F
I
think
if
they
do,
a
walk-in
they'll
probably
still
be
able
to
accommodate
it.
Just
may
take
a
while
longer,
usually
if
you're
giving
blood
it
takes
about
45
minutes
for
a
scheduled
appointment.
If
you're
doing
a
walk-in,
I
think
there's
just
an
expectation.
You
may
have
to
wait
a
little
bit
until
they
can
fit
you
in
to
the
schedule
and
platelets
tend
to
take
about
twice
as
long.
A
I
just
want
to
hats
off
to
staff
and
everybody
who
worked
on
the
old
cedar
avenue
bridge
celebration
on
saturday
was.
It
was
a
great
time
we
had
a
great
turnout,
wonderful
energy,
just
a
lot
of
fun
down
in
the
river
bottoms
until
the
rain
came,
but
it
was
very.
It
was
very
nice.
It
was
a
very
nice
celebration
and
and
so
hats
off
to
the
staff
who
did
work
on
that
and
who
made
that
happen
because
it
was,
it
was
a
lot
of
fun.
