Description
Bloomington Minnesota City Council Meeting
A
Good
evening,
everyone
and
welcome
I'd
like
to
call
this
meeting
of
the
bloomington
city
council
to
order
on
monday
may
17
2021
thanks
for
joining
us,
we'll
start
our
meeting
as
we
always
do
with
the
pledge
of
allegiance.
If
you
could,
please
stand
and
join
me
in
the
pledge,
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
united
states
of
america
and
to
the
republic
for
which
it
stands.
One
nation,
under
god,
indivisible
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all.
A
Once
again
good
evening,
thanks
for
joining
us
to
members
of
the
council
to
all
the
members
of
the
public
who
are
with
us
this
evening
for
the
first
time
in
many
many
months,
I'm
here
and
maskless
in
the
council
chambers,
so
that's
kind
of
an
exciting
advancement
and
change,
and
I
think
at
our
last
meeting
we
had
talked
about
the
proposed
schedule
to
bring
back
in-person
council
meetings
by
the
middle
of
july,
our
second
our
first
meeting
in
july.
I
think
it
is.
A
I
think
it
would
be
the
second
monday
in
july,
given
the
the
recent
changes
in
the
governor's
announcements
last
week,
we're
looking
at
moving
that
date
up,
don't
have
a
specific
date
yet,
but
I'm
I'm
guessing
it's
going
to
be
sometime
in
the
month
of
june,
when
we
actually
get
together
back
here
in
the
council
chambers
as
a
council
and
welcoming
back
the
public
to
our
council
meetings
as
well,
so
very
excited
about
that.
A
Moving
on
to
item
three
on
our
agenda
is
the
approval
of
the
agenda
and
council.
I've
got
just
one
change.
We
did
have
some
of
the
license
renewals
that
for
some
reason
a
technical
glitch
didn't
make
it
into
the
packet
initially,
so
we
do
have
them,
and
I
would
like
to
add
item
7.7
as
the
renewal
of
the
on
sale
and
sunday
on
sale,
intoxicating
liquor
licenses
make
that
item
7.7
and
then
move
to
7.8.
The
resolution
of
support
for
the
federal
funding
for
the
interstate
494
vision
project.
B
Before
we
take
vote
on
that,
can
we
do
a
roll
call.
A
D
C
A
A
A
A
E
A
Aye
motion
carries
7-0
and
we
do
have
an
official
agenda
for
this
evening.
Adam
for
honor
agenda
is
the
public
comment
period,
which
is
a
20-minute
period
that
we
have
at
each
council
meeting
for
folks
to
comment
on
things
not
on
tonight's
agenda.
We
limit
callers
and
input
to
5
minutes
per
person
and
we
will
get
to
that
in
item
4.2,
but
we
start
with
actually
item
4.1,
which
is
the
city
manager's
response
to
prior
meetings.
Public
comments,
mr
verbrugge
good
evening
and
welcome
you
have
anything
for
us
for
item
4.1.
F
I
do
thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
council
members
good
evening,
if
you
are
having
trouble
hearing
me
since
I'm
on
a
wi-fi
with
a
pretty
low
bandwidth.
Just
give
me
some
hand,
signals
and
I'll.
Maybe
turn
off.
My
camera
follow
up
from
two
comments.
At
the
prior
meeting,
first,
miss
sally
ness
had
a
a
couple
of
questions.
F
She
had
requested
that
we
look
at
calls
for
service
on
a
per
acre
basis
when
looking
at
the
impact
of
multi-family
residential
developments-
and
this
is
in
response
or
follow-up
to
information
that
I
had
provided
previously
in
response
to
a
public
comment,
not
planning
to
do
that
kind
of
an
analysis.
We've
never
used
that
kind
of
analysis
for
looking
at
calls
for
service
not
going
to
create
data
that
we
don't
have
at
this
point.
F
She
also
asked
for
a
response
to
request
of
a
censure
of
the
mayor,
based
on
response
that
the
mayor
provided
a
previous
public
comment,
and
it's
not
appropriate
for
me
to
provide
a
response
in
that
matter,
except
to
say
that
no
council
member
has
contacted
me
and
expressed
an
interest
in
utilizing
the
central
provision
of
the
rules
of
procedure.
F
We
also
had
comment
from
ms
natalie
morose.
Ms
morose
asked
how
many
operating
budgets
there
are
and
let's
bring
that
up
real
quickly.
So
we
have
30
operating
budgets
that
are
annually
approved
by
the
city
council.
The
city's
largest
fund
is
the
general
fund
and
that
handles
the
majority
of
operations,
including
police,
fire,
public
works,
community
development
parks
and
recreation,
community
services,
administration,
legal
and
finance.
The
2021
budget
was
almost
80
million
dollars
in
the
general
fund
and
around
57
million
dollars
of
that
is
funded
by
property
taxes.
F
F
There
are
nine
enterprise
funds,
the
four
recreation
facility
funds,
golf
ice
garden,
aquatics
and
art
center,
and
the
solid
waste
fund
receive
property
taxes
of
1.9
million
dollars.
The
other
enterprise
funds
do
not
receive
property
tax
dollars
as
water
waste,
water,
storm,
water
and
police
contractual
overtime.
F
There
are
eight
internal
service
funds,
their
revenues
are
internal
charges
to
other
funds,
facility
fund,
fleet,
I.t
insurance,
accrued
benefits,
employee
benefits,
support
services
and
public
safety,
technology
and
equipment,
and
then
the
debt
service
funds
and
capital
funds
are
not
included
in
the
annual
operating
budget
process.
Instead,
bond
sales
for
debt
service
funds
are
brought
separately
to
the
city
council
for
approval
for
capital
projects.
The
council
separately
approves
the
annual
capital
improvement
plan
and
then
capital
projects
are
individually
brought
to
council
for
approval
for
those
capital
funds.
F
Ms
morose
also
asked
about
crime
in
bloomington,
and
I
have
scheduled
with
chief
hartley,
to
have
a
public
safety
update
update
to
the
community
at
one
of
the
first
couple
meetings
in
june.
It's
either
june
7th
or
june
14th,
and
I
apologize
being
out
of
the
office.
I
don't
recall
which
one
it
is,
but
we
will
have
an
update
on
public
safety
in
the
community
that
we
will
do
as
an
introductory
item
at
an
upcoming
city
council
meeting.
F
This
is
the
third
year
that
we
have
flown
the
thin
blue
line
flag
during
that
week.
That's
a
request
that
is
made
based
on
the
flag
policy
that
the
city
council
has
approved.
That
has
a
process
in
place
for
people
to
request
flags
to
be
flown.
The
city
will
only
do
that
when
there
is
an
accompanying
proclamation
by
the
mayor
or
the
city
council
or
a
resolution
acknowledging
an
event
that
coincides
with
the
flying
of
the
flag
and
under
the
policy
of
flag
cannot
be
flown
for
more
than
one
week.
F
So,
for
example,
a
couple
years
ago,
we
had
flown
the
pride
flag
during
the
month
of
june,
as
all
of
june
is
celebrated
as
pride.
Since
we've
adopted
the
policy,
we
only
fly
the
flag,
the
pride
flag
for
one
week
during
the
month
of
june,
and
we
typically
do
that
around
the
celebration
of
pride,
the
police
department,
the
bloomington
police
department,
has
requested
that
the
thin
blue
line
flag
be
flown
as
part
of
the
proclamation
that
we
do
annually
to
recognize
police
week.
F
Now,
let
me
say
I
do
recognize
and
acknowledge
that
this
year
there
is
much
more
awareness
and
concern
about
the
symbolism
of
the
thin
blue
line
flag
than
there
has
been
expressed
in
the
previous
two
years
that
we
flew
it.
The
events
of
the
last
year
have
obviously
caused
the
use
of
the
flag
by
anti-democratic
forces,
white
supremacists,
how
it
has
been
utilized
by
them
in
support
of
their
messages
and
clearly
the
issues
surrounding
policing
and
community
relations,
and
especially
the
police.
F
Killing
of
people,
especially
young
black
men,
has
become
a
very
difficult
issue.
What
I
have
committed
to
is
working
with
the
police
chief
to
have
a
conversation
around
this
particular
flag
and
whether
it
is
the
most
appropriate
way
to
acknowledge
police
week
in
future
years,
recognizing
that
there
is
a
significant.
F
Element
of
our
community,
a
significant
number
of
people
in
our
community
that
are
very
concerned
about
what
that
flag
represents
and
then
what
it
means
to
see
it
flying
on
a
flagpole
at
city
hall.
We
do
understand
that
concern
we're
committed
to
having
a
conversation
with
the
community
about
that
concern.
The
flag
has
been
taken
down.
F
It
flew
last
sunday
through
this
past
saturday,
and
we
will
make
sure
that
before
we
recognize
police
week
again
and
consider
a
request
for
that
flag,
that
we
will
have
a
community
conversation
around
it
and
what
the
best
way
is
to
acknowledge
our
police
officers,
especially
the
police
officers,
who
have
fallen
in
line
of
duty
and
also
recognize
the
really
important
relationship
that
has
to
exist
between
the
police
department
and
the
community.
They
serve
and
we're
committed
to
doing
that.
Mr
mayor.
G
Thank
you
mayor.
I
know
manager
in
the
past.
We've
had
not
this
flag
but
other
flags
that
that
residents
have
either
found
from
a
religious
standpoint
to
have
an
issue
with
the
city
flying
those
flags
just
curious.
Do
we
have
a
appeal
process?
How
do
we
handle
that?
Is
that
part
of
the
policy?
G
I
haven't
seen
the
policy
in
some
time
now,
since
we
brought
that
forward,
but
I
just
wanted
to
just
be
sure
that,
as
we
are,
you
know
as
we're
looking
at
these
different
challenges
to
the
flags
being
risen,
that
we're
we're
being
careful
that
we're
treating
all
of
our
residents
the
same
as
we
do
that.
G
I'm
not
necessarily
looking
for
a
response
now,
but
just
want
to
know
if
there's
an
appeal
process
or
what
do
we
have
as
a
part
of
that
policy
for
those
residents
who
want
to
mount
a
a
protest.
F
Sure,
thank
you
for
the
question,
mr
mayor
and
council
members
council
member
loman.
There
is
not
an
appeal
process.
That's
defined
within
the
policy
we'll
certainly
follow
up
and
and
provide
the
policy
out
to
city
council
members
to
refresh
your
recollection
of
what
exactly
is
in
the
policy
when
we
are
like,
I
said
when
we
are
considering
a
flag
request,
it
has
to
be
accompanied
by
a
proclamation
from
the
mayor
or
the
city
council.
So
it
is
a
recommendation
that
comes
from
me.
F
After
reviewing
the
request,
and
typically
we
do
that
to
make
sure
we
do
that
review
to
make
sure
that
it
is
consistent
with
the
city's
policies.
F
It
is
recognizing
something
that
is
of
an
interest
to
the
city
of
bloomington
operations
or
to
the
community
through
the
policies
or
programs
that
the
city
supports,
and
then
it
is
usually
done
at
a
council
meeting
either
by
the
mayor
or
the
council.
So
there
is
that
check
at
the
elected
officials
level
that,
if
they're
uncomfortable
with
the
recommendation
that
is
being
made
that
that
option
exists
as
well
to
question
it.
F
So
we'll
send
that
out.
So
you
have
a
chance
to
look
at
it
to
the.
I
don't
know
if
it
was
a
stated
question
council,
member
loman,
but
with
other
flags.
We
have
received
concern
from
community
members
when
we
have
flown
other
flags
and
we
recognize
that
we
have
people
in
the
community,
broad
spectrum
of
beliefs
and
opinions
and
values,
and
we
recognize
that
you
know
some.
Some
symbols
that
we
have
and
that
we
use
to
acknowledge
members
of
our
community
are
going
to
be
viewed
negatively
by
others.
F
So
I
think
that
the
you
know
the
best
way
to
proceed
on
this.
Like
I
said
on
this
issue
or
any
other
issue
that
people
are
uncomfortable
with,
the
decision
to
flat
flag
is
to
engage
our
community
in
conversation
about
it.
I
mean
that's
the
reason
that
we
have
our
community
outreach
and
engagement
division.
It's
the
reason
that
we're
trying
to
build
relationships
within
our
community
and
I
think
that
making
sure
that
we
have
the
open
lines
of
communication
so
that
we
can
have
those
conversations
is
really
important.
H
H
I
guess
around
our
proclamation
process
and
I
think
that
there
were
some
residents
who
felt
like
or
thought
that
the
council
votes
on
proclamations,
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
if,
whether
it's
now
or
maybe
at
the
next
meeting
in
your
comments,
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
process
and
the
criteria
that's
used
to
decide
which
proclamations
will
be
made
in
meetings
and
just
I
just
want
to
be
clear,
the
public.
H
H
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that,
and,
and
also
a
piece
of
clarity
is
just
that
some
commissions
boards
and
commissions
may
weigh
in
on
some
proclamations
and,
and
others
may
not
so
just
some
clarity
in
that.
So
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that.
A
A
Questions
from
the
council
will
generally
be
clarifying
only
it's
not
a
back
and
forth.
It's
not
an
opportunity
to
to
to
dig
in
deep
on
an
issue
it's
an
opportunity
for
for
residents
to
to
call
in
and
express
their
opinion
on
items.
As
I
said
not
on
tonight's
agenda,
we
do
limit
it
to
five
minutes
to
make
sure
that
it's
even
for
everyone
and
and
we're
always
happy
to
get
comments
from
members
of
the
public.
A
So,
ms
wilson,
if
we
could,
I
think
we
had
a
few
people
call
or
ahead
of
time
and
say
they
would
like
to
speak
on
the
public
comment
period.
If
you
could
see
if
we
have
any
folks
who
would
like
to
chime
in.
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
A
We
have
no
one
else
on
the
line
grant
if
we
could
put
the
phone
number
up
one
more
time
and
ask
folks
if
you
have
public
comments,
if
you'd
like
to
call
in
this
is
your
opportunity.
There's
the
phone
number
and
the
conference
id
number.
C
Me
everyone
dan
erickson,
just
kid
in
for
a
public
comment.
J
Welcome,
council
members
and
your
honor
hope
everybody
had
a
chance
to
enjoy
a
beautiful
day
today,
although
the
allergies
are
making
me
a
little
nasally
today,
but
sometimes
you
know,
I'm
I'm
the
owner
of
normandale
bp
and,
of
course,
due
to
the
amendments
past
recently
regarding
the
abandoned
flavor
tobacco
in
the
council's
position
and
eliminating
tobacco,
I
and
many
small
retailers
you
know
are
concerned
about
the
negative
effects
on
our
business,
not
just
the
loss
of
revenue,
the
value
of
our
businesses
itself
when
it
comes
time
to
you
know
for
me
to
retire,
sell
the
business
due
to
the
fact
that
the
tobacco
license
cannot
be
transferred,
or
you
know
in
some
way,
grandfathered
in
the
new
owner.
J
Would
you
know
not
give
me
this
normal
value
for
my
business?
I
think
all
of
us
can
agree
that,
especially
you
folks
should
be
on
the
council
and
and
the
mayor
yourself.
Do
we
want
bloomington
to
be
the
you
know,
the
best
third
city,
you
know
in
the
country.
J
You
know
trying
at
the
moment
trying
to
organize
you
know
and
the
fact
that
you're
giving
us
an
opportunity
to
you
know,
negotiate
with
you
the
future
of
the
near
future.
J
We
just
we're
just
hoping
that
you
know
that
you
continue
in
your
legacy
of
fair
play
with
us
and
entertain.
You
know
some.
You
know
compromises
that
we
we
may
come
up
with
in
the
future.
You
know
to
help
lessen
the
impact
of
of
the
decision.
J
We're
not
you
know,
contrary
to
what
what
you're
trying
to
implement
we're,
not
we're,
not
big
tobacco,
we're
we're
just
you
know,
we're
just
small
small
retailers
that
are
just
trying
to
make
a
living
again
and
again.
I
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
taking
the
time,
and
maybe
you
know
consider
what
look
at
our
position
and
that
we
want
to.
J
We
want
to
work
with
the
city
and
with
you
folks,
and
you
know
hopefully
come
to
some
common
ground
where
it's
you
know
equitable
and
fair
for
everyone,
and
I
just
want
to
again
thank
you
for
your
time
and
and
again
giving
me
an
opportunity
to
to
talk
with
you,
folks
and
and
all
those
others
that
are
listening.
A
All
right
do
we
have
anyone
who
would
still
like
to
speak
on
item
4.2.
Our
public
comment
period.
C
I
was
just
wondering
last
session.
You
said
that
creekside
was
going
to
be
open
for
senior
dining.
Do
you
know
that's
going
to
include
anything
else
like
crafts
or
cards.
A
We
will
provide
a
full
update
next
week,
I
think
as
to
where
we're
headed
with
all
of
our
reopenings.
A
So,
yes
and
we'll
have
more
information
and
more
details
in
the
very
near
future.
I
think,
like
everybody
else,
we
were
caught
a
bit
off
guard
by
the
the
cdc
and
the
governor's
announcement
late
last
week
and
they're
scrambling
a
little
bit
to
catch
up,
but
we'll
definitely
have
more
information
very
soon
on
all
those
things.
A
C
They
have
already
disconnected,
but
I'm
seeing
one
more
dialing
in
we
can.
Would
you
like
to
give
it
a
minute,
or
at
least
a
few
more
seconds.
C
C
K
Good
evening,
first
of
all,
thank
you
so
much
miss
christensen
for
talking
me
through
my
brain
frog
and
getting
me
on
this
call
tonight.
K
I
understand
that
this
is
a
point
of
contention,
given
that
the
flag
has
a
lengthy
history
that
many
interpret
as
respect
for
law
enforcement
and
loss
of
life
in
the
line
of
duty,
but
the
evolution
of
the
flag
posts.
Ferguson
2014,
particularly
in
light
of
its
rise
as
a
symbol
of
right-wing
authoritarianism
following
the
election
of
donald
trump
in
2016,
is
what
needs
to
be
considered
in
our
modern
context
and
use.
K
You
could
also
consider
that
the
bloomington
patriots
who
proudly
raised
multiple
versions
of
this
flag
in
front
of
city
hall
in
2020
include
many
members
that
regularly
support
or
regularly
threaten
and
denigrate
both
city,
council
members
and
communities
of
color
in
our
city.
I
do
not
come
to
you
without
having
to
wrestle
with
the
same
decision
as
well.
I'm
a
10-year
navy
veteran
and
I
spent
my
entire
career
as
a
military
police
officer.
K
Soon
after
I
incorporated
a
small
canine
paw
with
a
thin
blue
line
into
a
post-navy
tattoo
in
honor
of
his
memory
as
I
came
to
better
understand
the
history
of
policing,
and
particularly
as
I
watched
the
original
flag
design
morph
into
something
new,
I
became
uncomfortable
with
my
tattoo,
but
still
wrestled
with
wanting
to
honor
my
friend's
memory,
trying
to
justify
its
continued
display
of
my
body
when
the
symbol
means
pain
to
so
many
people.
I
care
about
sounded
hollow
and
antithetical
to
my
own
core
beliefs
on
election
day
of
2020.
K
I
would
encourage
the
police
department
to
identify
a
more
appropriate
means
to
recognize
their
fallen
members
in
the
future,
one
that
actually
makes
a
demonstrable
impact
on
the
families
and
communities
who
have
lost
a
loved
one.
I
asked
for
a
few
responses
that
I
emailed
to
the
council
and
mr
ruby
last
week:
will
the
city
remove
this
flag
immediately?
If
not,
will
the
city
justify
their
reason
for
not
doing
so?
Will
the
city
allow
this
flight
to
be
flown
in
the
future?
K
So
I
did
send
a
reply
tonight,
but
first
I
want
to
comment
on
something
that
mr
burbee
said
earlier.
That
I
feel
is
just
a
flip,
just
like
a
slip
of
the
tongue
sort
of
thing,
but
I've
heard
before
we
fly
that
flag
again,
we
will
have
a
community
conversation
around
that,
so
I'm
hoping
that
was
just
the
slip
of
the
tongue.
K
I'm
being
very
gracious
in
this
interpretation
that
you
don't
intend
to
invite
the
community
into
a
conversation
and
still
fly
the
flag
after
that,
and
I
also
found
a
little
bit
egregious
that,
although
it
sounds
like
multiple
flags
have
been
flown
over
the
last
three
years,
that
you
chose
to
use
the
pride
play
which
pride
and
policing
have
a
long
history
of
not
going
together.
So
I'm
just
that
one,
I'm
being
a
little
less
gracious
on,
but
my
final
remarks
specifically
to
your
email.
K
I
appreciate
that
you're
asking
the
police
department
to
consider
flying
a
different
flag
in
the
future,
but
what
I
had
specifically
stated,
I
would
encourage
the
police
department
to
identify
a
more
appropriate
means
to
recognize
their
fallen
members
in
the
future,
one
that
actually
makes
a
demonstrable
impact.
That
means
addressing
the
issues
within
their
own
community,
of
which
suicide
and
on-duty
recklessness
are
actually
the
biggest
threat
to
police
officers
each
year.
K
And
additionally,
while
you
state
it
is
more
than
disheartening
that
some
people
associated
with
white,
supremacy
and
anti-democratic
beliefs
have
incorporated
this
flag
into
their
protest.
I
would
like
to
remind
you
that
a
not
insignificant
portion
of
those
who
invaded
the
capitol
on
january
6
were
police
officers
or
associated
with
the
police
officers
and
military.
We
cannot
address
the
ever-growing
concerns
for
change
in
how
our
society
criminalizes
so
much
of
daily
life,
rather
than
treat
the
underlying
problems
with
a
change
in
social
infrastructures.
C
C
C
J
A
A
Now,
therefore,
I
tim
bussey
mayor
of
the
city
of
bloomington
do
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
may
16th
through
may
22
2021
as
public
works
week
in
the
city
of
bloomington,
and
I
call
upon
all
citizens
and
civic
organizations
to
acquaint
themselves
with
the
issues
involved
in
providing
our
public
works
and
to
recognize
the
contributions
which
public
works
officials
make
every
day
to
our
health,
safety,
comfort
and
quality
of
life.
Dated
this
day,
the
17th
of
may
2021
the
the
list
of
of
services
that
was
mentioned
in
the
proclamation.
A
There
really
does
tell
the
story:
water,
sewers,
streets
and
highways
parks,
solid
waste
collection,
snow
removal,
it,
the
our
public
works
staff
first
of
all,
does
an
outstanding
job,
but
it's
always
the
kind
of
thing
that
you
only
notice
public
works
when,
when
they're,
if,
if
they're
not
there,
we
we
notice
if
the
streets
aren't
plowed,
we
notice,
if
the
water,
if
we
turn
on
the
tap
and
the
water
doesn't
flow,
and
the
work
that
they
do
is
just
is,
is
so
outstanding
and
it's
so
understated
they
just
they.
A
They
get
such
important
work
done
every
day
in
the
city
of
bloomington,
and
this
this
proclamation
really
does
come
from
the
heart.
We
really
do
thank
them
for
the
work
that
they
do,
because
it
is,
is
vital
work,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
proclamation,
it's
often
unrecognized,
and
it's
not
thanked
enough.
So
thank
you
to
our
public
works
workers
for
the
work
that
you
do
greatly
appreciated,
and
we
couldn't
be
the
great
city
that
we
are
without
you.
So
thank
you
so
very
much.
A
C
Good
evening,
mayor
bussie,
I
am
here
today
joined
by
heidi
walls,
who
is
the
chief
social
responsibility
officer
for
the
ymca
center
for
equity
and
inclusion,
and
also
the
lead
facilitator
in
the
work.
K
C
C
And
tonight
dr
walls
will
share
with
this
group
just
a
little
bit
of
an
update
on
what's
happening
with
the
racial
equity,
strategic
planning
committee.
C
Process
that
the
center
is
using
in
order
to
facilitate
those
conversations
and
some
next
steps
in
that.
L
Thank
you
to
mayor
council
and
to
you,
ms
jackson,
for
allowing
me
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
work
that
we're
doing
this
afternoon.
Please
put
the
powerpoint
up.
I
am
here
to
represent
the
united
health
group,
equity
innovation
center
of
excellence,
which
is
located
inside
of
the
ymca
of
the
north
in
downtown
minneapolis.
Next
slide.
L
Please,
the
united
health
group
equity
innovation
center
was
designed
and
created
to
ensure
that
we
can
provide
opportunities
for
communities
to
thrive
and
engage
in
innovative
ways
to
ensure
that
we
are
offering
support
services
that
are
diverse,
that
are
inclusive
and
that
are
equitable.
Next
slide,
please,
the
equity
innovation
center
of
excellence
that
is
engineered
by
a
united
health
group
has
three
specific
set
of
principles
that
we
stand
by.
L
L
Issue
components
next
slide,
please,
the
work
that
we're
doing
is
is
creating
opportunities
for
communities
members
to
come
together
and
really
to
begin
to
go
deeper
in
understanding
what
are
the
grounding
issues
and
concerns
in
relationship
to
the
five
focus
areas
as
we
have
begun
conversation
with
the
community
members
that
are
engaged
in
this
process,
we
have
started
by
really
getting
a
lot
given
a
learning
on
understanding
of
what
each
of
these
focus
areas
are
doing.
What
is
the
data?
What's
working?
Well?
L
L
When
we
look
at
our
systems,
we
are
developing
a
process
through
what
we
call
the
human
design
work
that
we
have
been
doing
within
communities
to
include
cities,
and
so
when
we
look
at
the
city
of
bloomington,
it's
not
just
quote
unquote
the
city,
but
it
really
is
the
entire
city
as
a
whole.
So
what
are
your
programs
and
services?
What
is
the
faith
community?
What
are
your
educational
opportunities?
What
are
your
businesses,
your
for-profit
and
non-profit?
L
Next
slide,
please,
as
part
of
the
human
system,
design
process
which
we're
doing
we
have
already
started
by
listening
to
each
of
those
five
focus
areas
having
representatives
from
each
area.
What
we
will
be
doing
next
after
the
next
session
is
really
identifying
how
many
of
our
community
volunteers
would
like
to
work
on
each
of
the
five
focus
areas.
So
there
will
be
a
small
group
working
on
each
area.
L
In
that
small
group
work,
we
will
be
developing
prototypes,
which
are
models
for
how
to
address
those
five
focus
areas
and
then,
as
we
develop
the
strategic
plan
for
those
areas,
we
will
be
looking
for
input
from
our
community
as
a
whole.
So
partner
with
the
communication
department
developing
a
website
where
our
communities
can
engage,
they
can
see
the
work
that
we're
doing
it's
very
visible
and
then
they
can
provide
input
as
needed
next
slide.
L
Please,
the
partner
that
is
working
with
me
on
this
project
is
rashima
davis
and
I
we're
leading
the
work,
and
then
we
have
a
large
group
of
consultants
that
will
be
working
with
our
small
group
as
we
begin
to
develop
the
prototypes
for
all
of
the
work
that
we
have
been
developing
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
stop
and
ask,
are
there
any
questions.
C
So,
mayor
bliss,
if
there
are
no
other
questions,
we'll
just
be
back
before
the
council
sometime
soon,
with
additional
updates
on
this
work.
That's
always
if
you
do
have
any
questions
outside
of
today's
meeting,
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
via
email
or
contact.
Your
committee
liaison
councilman
carter.
A
Absolutely
council,
member
carter,
did
you
want
to
chime
in
here
at
all
any
offer?
Anything?
No
thanks!
Well.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
work,
dr
walls.
Thank
you.
Miss
jackson,
for
your
work
on
this
committee
and
thank
for
the
thanks
to
the
many
committee
members
who
are
working
on
this
and
they
come
from
all
all
sectors
of
of
the
bloomington
world
of
our
community.
They
come
from
faith
communities
that
it
looked
a
lot.
A
It
looks
a
lot
like
the
graphic
that
was
laid
out
from
faith
communities
from
our
business
communities
from
our
educational
systems
and
so
on.
So
it's
a
it's
a
good
group
doing
good
work.
I
had
the
pleasure
of
being
with
them
at
a
meeting
last
week
and
am
impressed
with
the
work
that
they're
doing
currently
and
look
forward
to
to
continuing
to
see
the
work
that
is
going
to
come
out
of
this
committee
work.
So
thanks
so
very
much.
A
N
M
N
But
I
will
put
out
one
more
call:
nobody
has
anything
they'd
like
pulled.
C
All
right,
I
guess
with
that
mayor,
I
will
move
approval
of
items
6.1
through
6.8.
A
We
have
a
motion
by
council
member
martin,
the
second
by
council
member
carter,
to
accept
tonight's
consent,
business
item
6.1
through
6.8
council.
Any
questions
hearing
none
miss
christensen.
A
A
Motion
carries
7-0
item.
Seven
on
our
agenda
are
the
hearings,
resolutions
and
ordinances.
We
have
a
number
of
intoxicating
liquor,
license
applications
and
renewals
to
address
this
evening.
As
I
mentioned
when
we
adopted
the
agenda,
we
have
changed
item.
7.7
will
now
be
the
renewal
of
on
sale
and
sunday
on
sale,
intoxicating
liquor,
license
and
item
7.8
is
the
resolution
for
support
of
federal
funding
for
the
interstate
494
vision
project.
A
M
A
Counsel,
any
questions
of
mr
junker
on
item
7.1,
the
new
on
sale,
intoxicating
liquor
license
application
courtyard
by
marriott
edina
bloomington
any
questions
hearing
none.
I
will
open
the
public
hearing.
This
is
a
public
hearing.
As
I
said
on
item
7.1
new
on
sale,
intoxicating
liquor
license
applications
courtyard
by
marriott.
A
C
A
D
A
A
A
Motion
council
member
martin
mayor,
I
know
that
we.
A
A
M
A
A
C
A
O
A
C
B
A
A
P
A
A
A
C
A
M
Mr
mayor
and
council,
another
long-standing
license
with
us:
that's
changing
ownership
kind
of
bittersweet
to
see
her
retire,
but
we
have
a
new
young
owner
coming
in
and
again,
everything's
checked
out
we're
looking
for
your
approval.
A
A
C
D
A
A
O
Thank
you
mayor.
I
want
to
approve
the
on
sale,
intoxicating
liquor
license
or
just
gene
money
llc
that
hadn't
read
that
before
doing
business
as
big
bottle
liquors.
A
O
B
A
M
M
Again,
our
licenses
for
these
particular
items
off
sale,
wine
club
and
on
sale
go
from
july
first
to
june
30th.
So
the
licenses
you
just
approved
expired
june
30th,
but
they're
now
included
in
the
next
few
items.
So
four,
five,
six
and
seven,
I'm
just
asking
that
you
approve
these
pending
any
outstanding
items.
M
M
So
I
we're
looking
for
council
to
approve
seven
four,
five
and
six
as
presented
and
on
seven
point
seven.
I
do
have
one
hold
that
I'd
like
to
to
ask
so
when
we
get
to
7.7.
I
do
have
something
to
add
other
than
that
four
five
and
six
as
presented.
A
Very
good
so
I'll
ask
ms
manderscheid:
are
we?
Are
we
able
to
to
lump
items
seven
point
four,
five
and
six
into
one
motion,
or
should
we
do
them
individually?
Is
manderschen.
I
Mayor
members,
I
would
be
comfortable
flipping
grouping
them
all
together,
provided
there
aren't
callers
for
any
of
them
in
which
we
might
want
to
pull
apart
that
testimony
to
a
stand-alone
public
hearing,
perhaps
chris
could
check
if
there's
any
callers
on
the
line.
E
A
So
we
don't
have
anyone
calling.
So
I
think
if,
if
we
have
that
approval,
I
think
we
will
do
that.
I
would
like
to
open
the
public
hearings
right
now
for
item
7.4,
which
is
the
renewal
of
off-sale
intoxicating
liquor
licenses
item
7.5,
which
is
a
public
hearing
on
the
renewal
of
on-sale
wine,
licensees
item
7.6
public
hearing,
renewal
of
the
on
sale
and
sunday
on
sale,
club,
intoxicating
liquor
licenses
and
item
7.7,
which
is
the
renewal
of
on
sale
and
sunday
on
sale,
intoxicating
liquor
licenses.
A
A
A
We
have
a
motion
by
councilmember
lowman
and
accounts
second
by
councilmember
beloga,
to
close
the
public
hearings
on
item
7.4,
5,
6
and
7..
I
believe
I
said
there
were
five
items.
In
fact,
there
were
four
items:
my
apologies
there.
No
further
council
discussion,
the
motion
to
close
the
public
hearings.
Ms
christensen.
A
O
B
A
Motion
carries
7-0
to
close
those
public
hearings.
Now,
as
we
move
forward
item
7.7,
mr
juncker,
I
believe
you
had
an
issue
with
one
of
our
applicants
in
item
7.7.
Is
that
correct.
M
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
council.
So,
as
we
just
approved
three
brand
new
licenses
tonight,
I
got
one
brand
new
license
on
my
desk
today
for
bloomington
hospital,
sorry
for
embassy,
suites
bloomington.
So
in
your
packet,
we're
asking
you
to
approve
bloomington
hospitality
manager,
llc
doing
business
as
mb
embassy,
suites
bloomington.
They
will
not
be
renewing.
We
have
a
new
application
as
of
this
afternoon
that
I
will
be
trying
to
get
to
you
before
the
july
first
expiration
date
of
the
license
at
this
location.
M
So
so
7.7
approve,
as
presented
with
an
exception
for
bloomington
hospitality
manager,
llc
doing
business
as
embassy,
suites,
bloomington.
G
A
A
Yes,
if
we
could,
I
believe
we
can
move
them
all
as
a
group,
since
we
we
did
the
public
hearing
all
as
a
group.
Mr
mayor,
I'm
sorry
stand
by
ms
manderscheid.
A
Good,
thank
you.
Ms
wilson
was
the
one
who
who
called
me,
ms
wilson,.
E
C
No,
we
don't
have
anyone
dialing
in
at
the
moment.
Okay,.
A
Good
and
I
think
I
opened
and
we
did
close
those
that
that
item
as
a
public
hearing,
so
we
just
wanted
to
double
check
so
councilmember
lowman.
G
All
right,
then,
mayor
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
the
renewal
of
off
sale,
intoxicating
liquor
licenses,
as
stated
for
7.4
in
the
agenda
packet.
G
I'll
move
the
renewal
of
on
sale
wine
licenses,
as
stated
in
the
packet
for
7.5
and
I'll
move,
the
renewal
of
on
sale
and
sunday
on
sale,
club
intoxicating
liquor
licenses,
as
stated
in
the
package
for
7.6
and
I'll,
also
move
the
renewal
of
on
sale
and
sunday
on
sale.
Liquor
licenses
for
7.7,
with
the
exception
of
the
bloomington
hospitality,
doing
business
as
embassy
suites.
As
stated
by
the
our
staff
member.
A
A
O
A
A
Aye
motion
carries
7-0.
Thank
you,
mr
junker.
Thank
you
for
this
appreciate
it.
I
know
it's.
It's
always
a
task
to
get
these
done.
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
them
that
come
through
and
there's
a
lot
of
details
and
and
specifics
in
there
so
well
done
to
get
this
through
and
shepherd
it
through
one
more
time.
So
thanks
much.
E
E
E
C
E
A
P
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
council
members.
I'll
share
just
a
really
short
presentation
on
this
item,
so
the
494
vision
project
is
something
that's
been
before
the
council
a
number
of
times
for
various
action
tonight.
What
we're
asking
for
is
the
council
to
consider
approval
a
approval
resolution,
support
for
another
federal
funding
application,
so
the
24
project
goes
from
u.s
highway,
169,
all
the
way
through
the
airport,
basically
spans
the
north
edge
of
bloomington.
P
And
so
on
top
of
that
the
city
is
working
with
various
other
cities,
counties,
commissioner
commissions
and
chambers
of
commerce,
as
well
as
the
met
council
to
gather
letters
of
support,
and
we
would
be
entering
in
that
call
it
a
grant
application.
I
guess,
and
so
what
we're
asking
for
tonight
is
for
the
city
council
to
consider
a
resolution
to
support
federal
funding
for
the
interstate
494
vision
project
and
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
that.
A
Obviously
it's
this
494
project.
We
have
talked
about
a
number
of
times,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
to
look
for
basically
to
to
endorse
and
to
advocate
for
and
to
look
for
additional
federal
funding
and
hopefully
coming
very
soon.
There
will
be
additional
infrastructure
funding
and
we,
if
that
is
the
case,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
in
line
to
to
get
some
of
the
funding
to
help
close,
that
funding
gap
that
we
have
on
this
project.
A
Council,
member
beloga,
I
know
you
were
the
one
who
who
pushed
on
this
previously
in
your
work
on
the
494
corridor.
Commission.
Anything
to
add
to
mr
redlang's
comments.
D
I
think
that,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
think
that
mr
online
presented
it
quite
well.
The
only
additional
item
that
I
could
add
is
is
that
the
folks
from
mndot
will
be
bringing
to
bloomington
and
richfield
the
municipal
consent
item
in
either
late
summer
or
early
fall.
So
we
should
expect
to
see
some
more
definition
before
then
and
the
resolution
at
that
time.
A
A
A
O
C
A
A
Hi
motion
carries
7-0.
Thank
you
much
for
that,
mr
brodlang,
and
as
always,
please
let
us
know
what
we
can
do
as
a
council
to
support
this
in
any
way.
I
know
father
are
phone
calls
to
be
made
or
discussions
to
be
had.
A
I
know
that
all
members
of
this
council,
in
particular
council
member
beloga,
as
I
said,
with
his
work
on
the
494
corridor,
commission
more
than
happy
to
jump
in
and
help
out,
because
this
is
just
so
very
important
and
we're
going
to
get
one
shot
at
trying
to
find
additional
money
at
this,
and
I
I
appreciate
your
work
so
far
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
it.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Much
moving
on
now
to
item
eight,
our
organizational
business.
I
do
want
to
make
the
comment
up
front
our
organizational
business.
This
is
basically
the
part
of
our
agenda
where
we're
into
our
study
session
more
or
less,
and
so
this
is.
These
are
informational
items
primarily
for
council
discussion.
Only
there
will
be
other
opportunities
to
to
discuss
at
public
hearings
in
public
settings,
for
example
with
the
the
the
charter
amendment
recommendations
by
the
charter
commission.
A
Certainly,
by
the
park
system
master
plan,
we
will
have
additional
public
input
opportunities.
Basically,
this
is
the
the
the
in
the
the
case
of
the
charter
commission.
This
is
our
first
look
at
that
in
the
case
of
the
park
system
master
plan,
it's
basically
our
last
look
before
we
officially
move
this
forward
to
for
more
public
input
and,
ultimately,
the
public
hearing
that
we
will
have
on
this
later
in
the
summer.
So
this
is,
as
I
said,
our
organizational
business,
which
is
for
our
council
opportunity
to
discuss
some
of
these
items.
A
I
Thank
you
mayor
mayor
members,
denise,
and
I
met
with
the
charter
commission
on
may
6th.
It
was
their
annual
meeting,
which
occurs
the
first
thursday
in
may.
I
We
took
care
of
some
organizational
business
and
then
we
also
took
a
look
at
three
different
recommended
resolutions
that
ultimately
the
charter
commission
decided
to
adopt
all
three
of
them
and
move
them
forward
to
your
recommendation
at
a
very
high
level.
They
are
largely
administrative
in
nature.
I
Two
of
them
relate
to
adding
in
the
position
of
deputy
city
attorney,
to
signing
to
the
to
the
class
of
titles
that
are
not
classified
service
and
the
other
one
is
to
modify
the
available
positions
that
could
sign
documents
for
the
city,
so
very
much
housekeeping
in
nature,
and
then
the
third
one
was
related
to
our
election
process
and
specifically
about
appearing
on
the
ballot
in
the
process
of
preparing
the
materials
for
ranked
choice
voting,
it
was
discovered
that
we
had
some
very
specific
language
in
our
in
our
city
charter
that
wasn't
as
clear
as
we
wanted
it
to
be,
and
so,
in
consultation
with
the
charter,
commission
they're
moving
forward
a
recommendation
to
you
for
your
consideration,
largely
generalizing,
the
the
charter
language
to
refer
to
the
applicable
statutory
schedules
in
state
law
and
then
continuing
forward
with
the
50
filing
fee
that
was
already
in
the
city
charter.
I
But
what's
before
you
tonight
is
the
real
basic
procedural
thing,
which
is
to
acknowledge
receipt
of
these
three
resolutions
from
the
charter
commission
and
then
set
the
public
hearing
one
for
each
of
these
for
june
14th.
I
I
You
do
not
need
to
vote
on
it
that
evening,
although
you
certainly
may,
but
you
have
to
act
before
july,
14th
pursuant
to
state
law
and
then
again
as
a
reminder
that
vote
needs
to
be
unanimous
at
the
city
council
level
once
if
adopted
and
published
the
earliest.
These
chart
amendments
would
be
effective,
is
the
end
of
september
of
2021..
O
Thank
you
mayor.
I
don't
actually
have
any
questions
about
these
proposals
in
in
particular.
I
guess.
Generally
speaking,
you
know
I
have
had
some
conversations
with
folks
and
I'm
sure
others
may
want
to
or
or
will
want
to
in
the
future.
O
I
I
guess
what
I'm
it's
more
in
the
nature
of
a
comment,
but
I
I
think
I
would
like
to
see
perhaps
in
the
future
some
some
process,
if
council
members
or
even
you
know
folks
from
the
community-
have
ideas
on
charter
amendments
on
how
I
mean,
I
think
we
ran
into
this
a
little
bit
even
with
ranked
choice,
voting
how
folks
make
recommendations
or
ask
questions
or
how
that
comes
forward,
how
that
information
gets
brought
to
staff's
attention-
and
you
know,
discussed
poor
potential.
O
You
know
before
potentially
being
put
before
the
charter
commission
it
just.
It
seems
a
little
bit
unclear
to
me
how
ultimately
the
decision
as
far
as
what
the
charter
commission
discusses
is
made.
So
I
think
I
just
think.
Generally
speaking,
this
is
not
something
we
need
to
respond
to
tonight.
Generally
speaking
in
the
future,
I'd
like
a
little
more
clarity
around
that
process.
So
that's
all.
I
So
the
the
process
that
we
use
each
year
is
that
around
the
beginning
of
the
year,
I
ask
all
the
staff
at
the
city:
do
they
have
any
edits
to
the
city
charter
and
they
will
discuss,
they
will
discuss
them
internally
and
then
make
some
proposals
to
the
legal
department.
And
then
we,
you
know,
do
some
research
on
them.
Try
to
fine
tune.
I
It
try
to
make
sure
that
we're
accomplishing
the
goals
of
the
amendment
because,
as
you
know,
you
recall
these
are
substantive,
substantial
constitution-like
edits
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
being
very.
I
Thoughtful
in
our
in
our
edits
now
there
are
different
ways
that
the
the
charter
can
be
amended.
There
are
various
approaches
that
are
allowed
for
in
state
law.
The
one
that
we're
using
this
evening
is
what
I
would
generally
refer
to
as
the
most
efficient
efficient
with
regard
to
quick,
and
that
is
that
there's
a
recommendation
from
the
charter
commission
that
comes
to
the
city
council.
You
know
et
cetera
the
process
that
I
just
explained.
There
are
other
ways,
though,
the
pros
the
recommendation.
The
request
can
come
from
the
city
council.
I
I
So
it's
just
a
matter
of
you
know
if
there's
interest
in
making
me
or
or
the
city
manager
or
the
mayor
aware
of
of
the
you
know,
you're
hearing
out
in
the
public
that
there's
an
interest,
and
you
know
we
follow
up
with
them
and
help
them
in
as
much
as
that's
possible
to
understand
what
they're
going
after
and
seeking
to
change
and
then
work
through
that
process,
but
just
to
be
assured
that
there
are
multiple
ways
to
go
about
it
and
we
have
used
several
of
those
ways
within
the
last
couple
of
years.
O
Thank
you,
and
I
certainly
I
recall,
obviously
the
discussions
that
we've
had.
I
think
I
we
maybe
we
should
just
talk
about
this
offline
in
more
detail
as
far
as
how
that
process
moves
forward.
A
Council
any
additional
questions,
as
I,
as
ms
mandershad
mentioned
this,
isn't
this
isn't
a
discussion
of
the
proposals
here.
This
is
basically
just
acknowledging
the
receipt
of
the
recommendations
from
the
the
charter
commission.
Then
we
will
actually
have
the
discussion.
The
count
with
the
public
hearing
on
june
14th.
A
I
believe
we
need.
We
need
to
make
an
official
motion
acknowledging
the
receipt
to
the
resolution
and
setting
the
public
hearing
for
june
14th
council.
Anyone.
D
Thank
you,
move
to
acknowledge
receipt
of
resolution,
numbers
2021,
1-c,
2021,
2-c
and
20-21-3-c
from
the
charter
commission
and
setting
public
hearings,
14
2021
for
each
recommendation
from
the
chart.

for
a
long
while
now
we've
been
at
this
and
making
some
great
progress
on
it
and
we're
getting
into
real
nuts
and

kind
of
stuff
here,
and
so
I
will
turn
it
over
to
ms

you.
Thank
you,
council
members
and
mr
mayor,
as
rene
mentioned,
we're
going
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
glimpse
of
what
we've
been
working
on
for
so
long
and
we're
pretty
excited
to
do
that.
It's
starting
to
come
together
and
there
are
a
couple
things
that
we
still
need
to
get
your
input
on.
So
we
will
go
through
those
as
well
and
how
they
fit
into
the
overall
document.
N
But
I
just
wanted
to
start
out
with
by
showing
the
mr.
A
N
N
N
For
that,
so
the
the
overall
document
we're
going
to
go,
look
at
the
four
main
sections
in
the
document
and
explore
that
a
little
bit
and
then
look
at
the
the
cover
as
well,
which
is
really
inspired
by
the
some
of
the
graphic
design
and
branding.
That
was
done
for
the
extensive
community
engagement
that
we
did
and
one
of
the
chief
sort
of
remnants
from
that
is
this
little
sort
of
bloom
icon
that
you
see
in
the
lower
left-hand
corner.
N
That
shows
up
throughout
the
document
in
a
number
of
different
areas
and
manners.
So
I'm
actually
going
to
switch
to
the
first
section
of
the
document.
N
And
show
you
what
the
document
is
going
to
look
like
and
also
kind
of
what
it
entails.
So
this
first
section,
I
think,
is
a
really
good
overview
and
it
really
kind
of
focuses
on
some
of
these
key
elements
that
you're
going
to
be
seeing
in
the
document.
Some
of
the
background
behind
the
document,
the
purpose
and
introduction,
of
course,
why
we're
actually
doing
this
plan
and
throughout
the
document
you'll
see
some
great
photography
of
bloomington
itself
and
the
park
system
and
we're
still
collecting
some
imagery
as
well.
N
So,
looking
at
the
process,
kind
of
a
brief
description
of
the
process
and
all
the
things
that
we've
been
doing
for
the
last
year
and
really
trying
to
make
it
graphic-
and
you
know
interesting-
for
people
to
read
even
if
you're,
not
a
parks,
planner
a
park
planner
or
a
parks
guru,
this
section
really
shows
the
the
four
main
components
of
this
plan.
So
there's
four
main
parts
we're
looking
at
one,
which
is
our
city
in
our
parks,
and
this
is
really
talking
about
sort
of
the
purpose
in
the
background.
N
I
know
that
you
have
in
the
packet
really
come
from
this
analysis
and
that's
where
a
lot
of
that
work
is
found
section
three
is
really
kind
of
taking
that
information
and
and
sort
of
laying
out
what
we're
going
to
do
with
it,
so
the
parks
bloomington
needs.
N
This
looks
at
some
national
trends,
national
standards,
regional
trends
and
standards,
and
this
really
hones
in
on
the
great
community
engagement
that
was
done
and
how
that
factors
into
sort
of
the
analysis
that
we
did
and
what
people
really
want
this
park
system
to
be
it's
really
kind
of
an
aspirational
picture
of
what
we've
heard
throughout
this
entire
process,
and
it's
really
kind
of,
I
guess,
where
things
start
to
get
exciting
section:
four:
how
bloomington
gets
there
is
about
how
we
take
that
and
start
to
implement
it
and
make
it
a
reality.
N
We
don't
want
this
plan
to
sit
on
the
shelf
for
10
years.
We
want
it
to
actually
be
implemented,
so
there's
some
key
things
that
are
going
on
in
this
section
and
one
of
those
we're
going
to
talk
about
that
that
we
haven't
discussed
yet,
and
we
want
to
get
your
input
on,
which
is
the
cip,
and
you
can
see
this
iconography
of
this
bloom
graphic
coming
back
here
as
well.
N
This
is
a
summary
of
some
of
those
key
park
elements,
so
these
are
really
elements
that
we
found
when
we
did
a
deep
dive
of
analysis
into
the
park
system
that
really
make
up
bloomington's
parks
and
there's
a
number
of
them,
there's
13
of
them,
and
we
pulled
out
four
of
them
that
we
feel
are
really
priorities,
and
this
is
stuff
that
we
heard
from
the
community.
This
came
from
our
analysis.
This
came
from
staff,
so
it's
just
sort
of
this
repeating
theme
that
really
brought
these
out.
So
the
first
one
is
natural
resources.
N
I
think
everybody
here
is
familiar
with
the
great
natural
resources
that
bloomington
has
and
how
they
work
with
the
park
system.
The
second
one
is
park,
needs
and
level
of
service.
This
really
gets
at
starting
to
update
the
park
system
and
make
it
a
more
contemporary
park
system
with
elements
that
people
are
looking
for.
Trails
and
mobility
trails
always
comes
up
as
one
of
the
top
things
that
people
need
and
want,
and
there's
no
no
exception
here
in
bloomington.
That's
definitely
what
we
heard
and
then
equity.
N
You
know,
we've
had
some
really
good
discussions
about
equity
in
the
past,
and
that
is
definitely
one
of
one
of
the
our
priority
elements
so
quickly.
This
just
gives
really
an
overview
of
some
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
about
with
this
group.
In
the
past
the
vision
statement,
the
mission
statement
and
looking
at
the
guiding
principles
that
really
are
going
to
make
up
sort
of
the
recommendations,
there's
a
discussion
about
the
role
of
parks
and
recreation.
We
are
really
trying
to
set
the
framework
here
in
this
document.
N
That
parks
are
a
a
critical,
an
essential
public
service,
if
you
will,
in
the
city
and
they're,
really
critical
to
making
the
quality
of
life
so
great
in
bloomington,
and
they
provide
value
to
the
city.
So
there's
not
a
lengthy,
lengthy
discussion,
but
definitely
touching
on
it
to
sort
of
set
the
stage
for
other
elements
in
the
document
and
then,
of
course,
just
an
overview
of
the
great
park
system
that
you
have.
N
I
know
we've
reviewed
this
with
you
in
the
past,
I'm
going
to
kind
of
go
quickly
through
it
and
then,
of
course,
we're
building
this
park
system
master
plan
on
some
of
the
great
planning
work.
That's
already
been
done
in
the
city
over
the
last
number
of
years
and-
and
I
think
hopefully,
you'll
see
where
we're
building
upon
some
of
those
things
in
the
future.
Here.
N
And
some
of
the
commissions
that
were
really
vital,
renee
mentioned
some
of
these,
but
definitely
park
and
sustainability.
Commission
have
been
doing
a
lot
of
heavy
lifting
and
helping
us
out,
and
this
last
slide
really
talks
about
your
city
council,
strategic
priorities
and-
and
I
understand
that
these
are
from
2017
to
2020,
but
we
really
did
take
a
look
at
these
and
incorporate
them
into
our
guiding
principles
into
the
work
that
we
were
doing
and
we
feel
that
they
sort
of
need
need
to
work
in
tandem
and
kind
of
have
a
synergy.
N
So
this
really
kind
of
sets
the
framework
for
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we
are
talking
about
in
the
park
system
master
plan.
N
So
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
now
that
we've
looked
at
the
overall
section
I
mentioned,
there's
some
things
that
we
definitely
want
to
talk
with
you
about,
and
one
of
those
is
the
cip
framework.
So
we're
going
to
quickly
move
through
sort
of
the
story
about
how
we
came
up
with
our
recommendations
for
the
cip
framework
and
hopefully
get
some
discussion
around
that
first,
we're
going
to
look
at
the
park
system
needs
and
how
that
impacted.
It.
The
community
engagement
that
we
did
the
priorities
and
sort
of
a
discussion
around
some
different
approaches.
N
So
if
you
recall
a
while
ago,
we
looked
at
this
level
of
service
which
really
kind
of
framed
out
national
standards
and
where
bloomington
was
doing
really
well
and
where
bloomington
was
kind
of
compared
to
national
standards
had
some
needs
and
those
are
in
red
and
you
can
kind
of
see
them
there,
they're
things
like
dog
parks
and
skate
parks
and
splash,
pads
and
indoor
recreation
space.
A
lot
of
these
things
that
we've
been
talking
about
over
the
last
few
months.
N
We
also
did
a
statistically
valid
survey
and
we
really
tried
to
get
people
to
highlight
what
they
wanted
in
the
future.
So
this
is
sort
of
a
question
that
really
asked
about
future
improvements
and
what
people
really
wanted.
So
you
know
natural
areas
is
showing
up
play,
equipment,
nature,
trails,
trails
and
parks.
You
can
kind
of
see
these
themes
already
start
to
emerge
and
some
actions
that
are
most
important
to
households,
natural
areas
again,
the
indoor
community
recreation
center
and
then,
as
a
part
of
that
statistically
valid
survey.
N
N
After
that
we
did
an
extensive
community
engagement
effort,
and
this
is
showing
kind
of
just
a
graphic
of
all
the
stakeholder
groups
that
we
talked
to
and
the
online
survey.
You
know
where
we
see
we
received
significant
feedback
and
some
of
those
themes
that
were
coming
up
in
the
word
cloud
to
the
right
really
reinforced
with
the
the
level
of
service
and
the
statistically
valid
survey,
we're
seeing
and
then
we
brought
sort
of
our
proposed
kind
of
mix
of
these
new
facilities.
N
N
And
then
I
believe
it
was
last
time
we
really
talked
about
sort
of
this
approach
to
equity
and
how
equity
can
help
prioritize
some
of
these
investments,
capital
investments
that
might
be
needed
in
the
future,
from
that
equity
perspective
and
and
how
that
fits
into
kind
of
the
cip
criteria
that
currently
is,
is
out
there
and
you're
working
under
right
now.
So
a
lot
of
that
racial
equity
work
would
go
right
into
kind
of
the
seventh
category
of
racial
equity.
N
So
all
that
work
that
I
just
kind
of
went
through
really
factored
into
this
chart
that
the
consultant
us
and
and
staff
really
went
into
and
sort
of
tried
to
lay
out
a
priority
for
some
of
these
major
kind
of
capital
improvement
elements
so
just
kind
of
quickly
going
over
this
chart
on
the
left.
You
have
the
underserved
facility
needs,
and
then
we
have
this
investment
category,
which
is
kind
of
just
a
relative
cost,
and
then
area
of
impact
is
really
sort
of
our
first
guess
at
who.
N
We
think
this
is
going
to
impact.
So
citywide
is
really
something
that
people
from
any
part
of
the
city
is
probably
going
to
enjoy
service
area.
Wide
is
really
people
within
that
service
area
probably
will
enjoy.
The
most
neighborhood
is
obviously
focused
on
the
neighbor
neighborhood,
so
kind
of
smaller
scale
impacts,
and
then
we
rank
them
according
to
what
we
thought
the
priority
would
be
so,
as
you
can
see,
community
center
fully
accessible
playgrounds,
natural
resource
management
and
restoration
is
a
high
priority.
N
N
N
So,
knowing
that
knowing
the
sort
of
investment
hurdles
ahead
of
us
and
what
needs
to
happen,
staff
and
the
consultant
kind
of
came
up
with
a
couple
of
different
approaches
that
we'd
potentially
like
some
feedback
on
so
one
is
this
incremental
approach
so
looking
at
increasing
that
1.3
million
per
year,
annual
cip
budget
to
the
three
to
four
million
dollar
range
annually
for
approximately
20
years,
so
this
is
showing
that
that
would
actually
just
impact
sort
of.
N
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
think
about
it
as
outdoor
parks
and
recreation
facilities,
the
parks
themselves.
It
doesn't
really
wouldn't
really
address
these
larger
facilities
like
big
or
or
the
aquatic
center
or
dwan.
N
So
this
would,
you
know,
hopefully
include
a
lot
of
those
same
parks
and
recreation
outdoor
facilities,
but
also
wrap
in
some
of
the
the
key
indoor
facilities
that
the
park
system
needs
as
well.
B
Unless
there's
immediate
feedback
from
the
council
brad,
we
protect,
we
could
keep
going
and
take
those
questions
and
comments.
At
the
end.
N
Sounds
good,
so
this
graphic
is
really
addressing
the
the
incremental
approach
and
how
that
might
look
to
to
you
the
council
and
to
maybe
residents
and
to
staff
how
this
might
play
out.
So
this
is
kind
of
the
if
you're,
looking
at
some
of
the
larger
community
parks
and
the
design
and
construction
process.
So
there's
a
lot
of
information
on
here,
so
I'll
try
to
move
through
it.
The
topic
of
the
chart
here
is
year
one.
N
So
this
green
bar
part,
a
we're
starting
with
kind
of
a
flow
chart
of
design
here
so
first
would
be
starting
with
these
park
plans.
The
concept
design,
that's
really
taking
all
the
information
from
the
park
system,
master
plan
and
looking
at
a
specific
individual
park
that
would
be
identified
through
our
equity
priority
prioritization
index.
N
So
concept
design
is
really
looking
at
taking
that
information
and
creating
a
couple
of
plan
options
and
working
with
the
community
to
come
up
with
what
that
park
is
going
to
look
like
what
are
the
programs
that
are
going
to
be
in
the
park.
How
is
that
park
going
to
support
the
surrounding
neighborhood
across
all
of
these
you'll
see
community
engagement.
J
N
These
little
icons,
this
is
really
showing,
I
think,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
significant
community
engagement
in
this
first
phase.
So
just
again
talking
about
to
the
community
about
what's
in
the
park,
what
do
we
want
to
use?
How
do
we
want
to
use
the
park
and
having
the
community
help
us
come
to
a
final
park
plan
so
giving
them
ownership
over
this
park?
N
This
is
where
construction
would
start
and
when
construction
would
happen
simultaneously
or
sort
of
in
concert
park
b.
The
next
park
plan
in
the
list,
according
to
equity,
would
occur,
and
you
would
start
this
process
that
we
discussed
in
year,
one
all
over
again
and
that
process
would
continue
into
year.
Three,
where
park
a
might
be
wrapping
up.
Construction
part
b
might
be
entering
into
construction
and
you're
starting
a
design
process
for
park
c.
B
So
I'll
say
that,
as
part
of
the
process,
we
discussed
with
council
the
need
for
community-driven
park
planning
so
that
we
are
responding
to
what
people
want
and
need
today
and
in
the
future-
and
this
is
what
that
process
looks
like
from
a
practical
implementation,
standpoint
and
I'll
say
that
preceding
the
year
one
of
a
project,
there's
the
cip
planning
and
budgeting
process
and
the
bringing
a
consultant
get
started,
which
is
a
few
month
process.
N
So
there
are
a
couple
of
sort
of
those
priority
park,
elements
that
we
know
we
haven't
talked
a
lot
with
you
about,
so
we
wanted
to
put
out
some
of
the
kind
of
main
themes
and
elements
and
discuss
those
and
see
if
you
have
any
questions
or
discussion
about
those,
and
one
of
those
is
trails,
if
you'll
recall,
that's
something
that
throughout
the
community,
engagement
really
came
was
highlighted
that
people
wanted
and
needed,
and
it's
something
that
I
know
the
city
has
been
working
on
for
a
while,
so
kind
of
just
an
overview
of
what
we
discovered
is
bloomington's
trail
mileage
for
paved
and
natural
surface
trails
generally
is
on
track
with
national
standards,
which
is
great,
but
there's
definitely
a
need-
that's
been
expressed
by
the
community
for
more,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
those
issues
come
in
with
you
know
the
lacking
the
mountain
bike
facilities
not
only
just
mountain
bikes
but
but
natural
surface
trails,
so
hiking
and
mountain
biking.
N
There
are
a
couple
of
sections
in
the
city
that
have
what
we're
calling
kind
of
blank
spots,
which
I
know
engineering
knows
about
that.
These
are
elements
where
there's
really
not
great
bike
infrastructure
and
that's
being
worked
on
currently
and
then,
of
course,
you
have
the
the
major
interstate
burial
barriers
that
make
pedestrian
and
bike
traffic
even
more
difficult
across
the
city.
N
So
this
just
kind
of
talks
about
comparison
with
with
our
benchmark
cities
and
we're
actually
doing
pretty
well
and
actually
very
well
with
kind
of
unpaved
trails
compared
to
just
these
benchmark
cities.
N
So
we
talked
about
sort
of
those
blank
spots
and
this
map
is
kind
of
wild
looking.
But
it's
it's
from
an
app
called
strava,
which
is
a
bike
and
sort
of
recreation
and
and
running
and
pedestrian
app
that
people
use
for
times,
timing,
various
things
and
routes
and
what
it
does
is
it
tracks
people
essentially
in
their
movement
patterns
and
then
aggregates
everything
over
a
two
year
period.
N
So
the
lighter-
I
guess,
lines
and
squiggles
that
you
can
see
over
in
the
highland
area
is
really
where
there's
a
lot
of
people
using
it
and,
of
course,
along
the
river
bottoms
and
where
it's
darker,
where
it's
not
as
prominent,
is
where
there's
not
as
many
people
biking
and
hiking
and
using
this
app
and
you
can
definitely
see
in
the
center
of
the
city.
It's
it's
a
lot
less.
So
I
think
it's
a
really
good
indicator
of
you
know
a
number
of
things,
but
really
the
infrastructure
that's
available
for
people
to
use.
N
N
What
should
be
noted
here
as
well
is
in
the
community
engagement,
where
we
did
see
comments
about
mikey
mountain
biking
trails.
There
was
concern
about,
especially
in
the
northwestern
tierney
woods
and
corridor
park.
There
were,
as
many
people
concerned,
about
breaking
up
those
natural
areas
and
degrading
the
quality
by
putting
more
trails
in
those.
So
I
think
that's
something
that
moving
forward
should
be
disc,
studied
a
little
bit
more
closely.
N
This
map
is
really
similar
to
the
maps
you've,
probably
seen
in
the
comp
plan
and
in
the
alternative
transportation
plan,
and
that's
really
kind
of
pulling
those
plans
forward
and
really
what
we're
seeing
in
the
park
system
is.
We
fully
support
those,
and
I
think
those
will
really
be
great
to
help
link
the
park
system
together,
so
we're
kind
of
pulling
that
forward
and
highlighting
it.
But
there
are
a
few
other
sort
of
more
park
focus
recommendations
that
we're
making
in
highlighting
a
couple
of
those
are
to
provide
trail
loops
in
individual
parks.
N
So
these
are
just
providing
loops
around
parks
that
people
go
to.
These
are
the
parks
you
go
to
after
work
and
you
walk
your
dog
or
you
take
the
stroller
out
just
close
to
the
house
where
you
can
get
out
and
see
your
neighbors
they're,
really
important,
important
and
they're
a
pretty
low
cost
kind
of
infrastructure
that
would
really
increase
both
neighborhood
and
community
park
usage,
and
then
these
bike
skills
areas
that
we
discussed
earlier
too.
N
I
think
these
are
really
on
trend
with
what's
happening
in
minnesota
and
also
nationally,
but
they
also
really
they
make
better
bike
riders.
They
make
safer
bike
riders
by
teaching
kids
skills,
not
only
just
killed
kids
but
adults
as
well
and
they're,
just
a
fun
recreational
component
and
then
I'm
going
to
skip
down
to
number
five
is
signage
and
wayfinding.
N
There's
a
lot
of
different
things
going
on
in
the
city
and
different
sort
of
trail
components,
so
having
a
comprehensive
plan
would
be
very
valuable
and
then
that
number
six
is
the
natural
surface
trail
plan.
I
think
that's
something
that
a
lot
of
communities
are
doing
to
sort
of
address,
some
of
these
issues
about
natural
resources
versus
mountain
bike
trails
or
whether
a
trail
should
be
devoted
just
to
mountain
biking
or
to
hiking
or
be
multi-use,
so
those
are
kind
of
some
key
short-term
recommendations
just
for
parks
and
then
long-term
recommendations.
N
A
lot
of
those
are
carried
forward
from
the
comp
plan,
the
one
the
other
one
that
we
noted
in
in
our
plan
in
the
park
system
master
plan
is
to
really
explore
the
excel
energy
energy
corridor.
On
the
east
side
of
town
there's
a
gap
there
with
natural
areas
and
also
with
trail
usage
that
maybe
it's
not
a
connecting
trail
all
the
way
from
north
to
south
right
away.
But
I
feel
feel
like
there's
a
lot
of
trail
connections
that
could
be
made.
That
could
have
some
really
positive
local
impacts.
N
The
city's
city
staff
is
actually
doing
a
really
good
job
of
providing
these
natural
areas,
but
it's
really
decentralized
and
just
having
kind
of
a
focus
with
management
would
really
be
beneficial.
Moving
into
the
future-
so
I
kind
of
mentioned
this
before,
but
we're
really
just
kind
of
layering
on
and
building
on
some
of
the
great
work
that's
already
been
done,
there's
no
need
to
sort
of
reinvent
the
wheel.
There's
been
some
really
good
inventory,
work
done,
and
some
kind
of
desktop
gis
based
restoration,
priority
mapping.
N
Studies
done
so
one
of
our
key
recommendations
or
actually
a
couple
of
our
key
recommendations
are
really
to
kind
of
centralize
and
bring
all
of
this
together.
So
number
one
is
really
to
provide
dedicated
staff
to
be
really
responsible
for
natural
resources
within
the
park.
Maintenance
division,
just
kind
of
a
bit
of
a
an
organizational
restructure.
N
The
staff
that's
currently
keeping
up
natural
resources
is
doing
an
excellent
job,
but
they're
also
doing
a
lot
of
other
things.
Natural
resources
is
such
a
big
animal
and
important
to
the
city,
as
the
residents
have.
Let
us
know
that
we
feel
it's.
It's
definitely
needs
a
full-time
person,
so
that's
one
recommendation,
that's
being
made
and
again
that
role
would
just
be
to
kind
of
coordinate,
organize
and
really
help
the
team,
through
all
the
departments,
work
better
around
natural
resource
management.
N
N
Looking
at
partnerships,
there
already
are
some
great
partnerships,
but
potentially
some
efficiencies
in
those
and
then
education
and
interpretation
to
residents
is,
is
going
to
be
huge
and
people
also
wanted
more
programming
around
natural
resources.
Because
there's
you
know
a
lot
of
infrastructure
here
and
I
think
there's
some
great
partners
that
could
help
the
city
with
that,
including
three
rivers.
N
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
going
to
talk
about
is
in
your
packet
was
the
key
plan
recommendations
and
I
have
those
listed
out
here
on
the
left.
So
these
were
things
that
we
as
a
consultant
team
and
staff,
really
dove
into
the
park
system
and
explored
what
kind
of
made
up
the
park
system
and
what
these
kind
of
key
elements
really
highlighted.
Some
issues
and
opportunities.
N
N
These
other
kind
of
pins
are
the
city
council
strategic
priorities,
so
we're
just
kind
of
weighing
what
each
of
these
actions
is
doing
and
how
they're
influencing
each
of
these
priorities.
So
I
am
going
to
all
this
over
and
show
you
section
four
section.
Four
is
kind
of
the
how
we
get
their
section,
so
we
kind
of
talked
about
what
was
in
that
capital
improvement
plan.
N
The
other
key
elements
in
this
section
are
part
classifications,
so
how
we
classify
parks
is
how
we
design
them
and
how
we
maintain
them.
So
that's
going
to
transform
the
parks
over
time
and
then
we're
also
showing
this
evolution
of
a
typical
park
so
showing
a
typical
neighborhood
park
and
taking
it
and
taking
all
the
recommendations
and
all
the
things
that
people
want
to
see
and
showing
how
it
can
turn
into
this
sort
of
new
type
of
park,
and
the
action
plan
is
what
I
just
described
to
you.
N
N
N
N
In
organizational
structure,
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
some
of
those
key
components,
such
as
kind
of
realigning,
the
natural
resources
position
within
the
parks,
maintenance,
division,
and
a
lot
of
this
is
how
parks
parks,
the
parks,
department
and
parks
maintenance,
maintenance,
work
together,
which
there's
been
a
lot
of
really
great
discussion
about
that.
Moving
forward
economic
development
and
budget
enhancement.
N
This
really
kind
of
deals
with
partnerships,
as
well
kind
of
with
the
school
district,
with
three
rivers
and
with
other
agencies,
and
then
yeah
efficiency
and
effectiveness
is
really
focused
on
helping
the
department
become
more
streamlined
and
prove
their
value
to
the
city
council
on
an
annual
basis,
and
then,
lastly,
is
sustainability
and
resilience,
and
we
broke
sustainability
and
resilience
pardon
from
natural
resources.
N
For
a
couple
of
reasons,
one,
I
think
natural
resources
was
such
a
strong
recommendation
from
the
from
the
residents
that
we
wanted
to
pull
it
out
and
really
highlight
its
importance
and
kind
of
pull
these
elements
from
sustainability
into
focus.
That
might
not
be
necessarily
natural
resource
related.
B
During
that
time,
also
staff
will
be
reviewing
and
creating
our
comments
on
that
on
those
draft
sections
the
park
and
sustainability
commission
will
be
reviewing
also
towards
the
end
of
that
time.
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
we
will
bring
a
public
hearing
before
council,
so
public
that
don't
want
to
or
in
addition
to
leaving
comments
at,
let's
talk,
bloomington
or
with
staff
directly
can
also
have
the
opportunity
to
provide
any
comments
directly
to
council
staff
will
compile
those
comments
and
finalize
the
draft.
B
The
last
part
of
or
the
month
of
july,
and
then
bring
the
final
plan
for
approval
to
council
on
august,
2nd
that
public
hearing
I
mentioned,
isn't
scheduled
yet,
and
this
planning
process
for
finalization
is
a
draft
and
has
been
a
bit
of
a
moving
target
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks
as
we
are
as
staff
compiling
these
documents
and
preparing
what
we
need
for
posting
for
review.
B
So
that
is
what
the
plan
looks
like
to
get
the
bring
this
to
the
public
and
to
council
for
final
approval
with
that
brad,
and
I
will
both
stand
for
questions
and
thank
you
very
much
brad
for
the
great
reason.
A
Yes,
thank
you
thanks
for
the
the
great
presentation
and
the
great
work
that
has
gone
into
this
very
in-depth,
very,
very
insightful
and
graphically
wonderful,
and
I
think
the
the
photography
is
fantastic,
I'm
not
sure
if
those
were
all
existing
or
if
you
guys
went
out
and
got
a
lot
of
that
photography,
but
it's
outstanding
so
well
done
there.
A
The
council,
if
you
have
questions,
I'd,
be
happy
to
take
questions
and
comments
on
this.
The
the
kind
of
overarching
comment
that
I
have
just
in
looking
at
this
and
reading
through
it.
A
Basically,
that's
it's
the
you
know
you
can
you
can
derive
it
and
say
it's
the
bureaucracy
around
it,
but
what
it
is
is
basically
the
structure
and
the
foundation
about
how
this
isn't
just
a
one-time
kind
of
thing
and
and
we
make
the
big
splash
with
the
trails
or
something
this
is
basically
building
it
from
the
ground
up,
which
I
think
just
you
know,
for
we.
A
We
have
outstanding
parks
here
in
bloomington
and
have
for
a
number
of
years,
but
that
type
of
foundation-
I
don't
think,
has
been
there
or
if
it
has
been
there.
It
needs
to
be
updated
and
appreciate
the
work
that
has
gone
into
this
and
to
to
see
that
level
of
detail
and
information
on
those
seemingly
mundane
type
of
topics
when
you're
talking
about
parks
and
you're,
talking
about
nature
and
the
great
outdoors
and
so
on.
But
the
very
core
of
it
is
this
information
that
that
you've
put
together.
I
mean
bottom
line.
A
What
gets
measured
gets
done
and
to
to
look
at
these
to
look
at
the
metrics
and
to
look
at
the
budgeting
and
to
look
at
the
the
expectations.
I
think
there
was
a
reference
about
effort-based
how
the
department
was
more
effort-based
and
outcome-based
and
which
I
totally
understand
in
terms
of
how
it
was
put
together
in
the
past,
the
the
effort,
the
work,
the
the
hard
work
that
goes
into
it
as
opposed
to
the
outcomes.
What
do
we
really
hope
to
accomplish
through
that
hard
work?
A
So,
as
I
said,
I'm
impressed
with
this
and
I'm
impressed
with
the
structure
of
it,
impressed
with
the
the
detail
of
the
document
and
look
forward
to
hearing
additional
comments
from
the
council
look
forward
to
having
it
out
within
the
the
community
and
having
them
take
a
look
at
it
and
seeing
the
the
larger
picture
of
all
that
we're
trying
to
accomplish
through
this,
so
on
the
hats
off
well
done.
I
think
this
is.
This
is
an
outstanding
work
product
right
now.
G
I
couldn't
say
it
more
eloquently
than
you
did
mayor,
so
I'm
not
going
to
even
try
in
terms
of
that
but
yeah.
This
is
a
fascinating
document
and
I'm
really
impressed
with
how
you're
able
to
weave
in
you
know
just
a
number
of
things,
especially
the
the
you
know,
the
outreach
components
of
it
and
our
our
principles
and
just
so
much
so
many
more
items-
and
I
also
wanted
to
just
thank
you-
know
our
staff
for
their
work
with
sustainability.
G
G
I'm
looking
forward
to
that
dialogue
around
that,
but
it
sounds
like
that
over
the
next
20
years
that
I
just
want
to
be
sure
that
I've
got
this
right,
that
we're
looking
to
invest
anywhere
from
60
million
to
80
million
dollars
within
the
park
system
or
more.
Is
that
my
understanding
in
terms
of
what
was
presented
today
and
with
this,
which
is
within
the
plan.
A
I
I
don't
know
that
they
had
a
specific
dollar
amount
in
there.
I
know
that
they
talked
about
directing
funds
or
specifying
funds
from
the
capital
improvement
plan
and
then
laid
out
the
the
incremental
approach,
as
opposed
to
the
the
immediate
approach
of
of
a
possible
referendum,
and
so
on.
Ms
clark
am,
I
was
I
hearing
that
correctly.
B
Mayor
members
of
council
council,
member
lohman-
yes,
we
did
not
provide
a
dollar
amount
investment
over
time.
That
type
of
detail
is
provided
annually
in
in
our
cip,
which
staff
are
working
on
and
council
will
see
it
that
way
what
we've
provided
were
priorities
and
an
annual
capital
improvement
spending
amount,
which
has
been
also
contemplated
in
the
cip
through
charter
bonds
and
is
actually
pretty
consistent
with
what
staff
has
proposed
this
year
in
2021
for
that
incremental
approach.
B
G
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
that
that
clarification,
sometimes
when
folks
hear
the
word
cip
or
you
know
this-
you
know
that
immediately
means
well
that's
what
we're
looking
to
invest
over
that
period
of
time-
and
I
want
to
thank
us-
you
know-
for
clarifying
that
from
for
myself
and
also
for
the
broader
public
is
not
used
to
working
with
a
cip
document
like
we
are
with
council.
G
So
then
let
me
I
just
got
a
couple
more
questions
and
I'll
turn
over
them
to
my
other
colleagues,
so
very
excited
about
this
this
proposal,
but
what
I
wanted
to
know
was
how
we
know
that
we've
improved
the
experience
for
our
our
customers
when
they
go
to
the
park,
so,
for
example,
we
have
just
to
be
a
little
more
more
specific.
G
There's
a
number
of
you
know
things
that
are,
you
know
really
specific,
but
if
I'm
somebody
who's
just
coming
along-
and
I
see
that
that
level
of
service,
how
will
I
know
you
know
how
I
really
know?
What
can
I
put
my
finger
on
to
kind
of
say?
Okay
today
in
2021,
may
here's
how
it
was,
and
then
you
know
three
four
five
years
from
now.
How
do
I
know
that
I've
gotten
you
know
an
improvement
in
terms
of
our
level
of
service,
just
for
example,.
B
B
Quantitatively,
we
can
track
the
investments
we've
made
based
on
community
driven
park
planning
in
those
investments
and
say:
we've
built
x,
number
of
miles
of
trail,
improved
x,
number
of
parks
and
x,
number
of
facilities,
and
then
also
you
know,
parks
are
built
to
provide
experiences
and
programming
for
our
residents
and
one
of
the
things
one
way
that
we
are
looking
at
doing
that,
specifically
through
programming.
G
You
know
I
appreciate
that
you
know
that
we've
got
some
measuring,
that
we've
got
going
on
now
and
I
I
hope
that
we'll
be
able
to
not
only
do
those
measures
but
be
able
to
communicate
what
we've
done.
One
of
the
things
that
one
of
the
institutions
I
used
to
belong
to,
we
were
militantly
modest
about
what
we
did,
and
so
it
didn't
matter
that
we
made
these
accomplishments.
We
had
these
great
plans
we
actually
executed
got
it
done.
G
I
just
want
to
be
sure
that
we're
able
to
communicate
that
get
that
out
make
sure
people
know
and
that
really
kind
of
leads
to
kind
of.
My
next
question,
which
is
maybe
more
of
a
comment,
is
that,
as
we
are
doing
those
measures,
both
qualitative
and
quantitatively
and
then
communicating
that
out
to
the
broader
public,
which
I
I
know,
I
don't
think
that
we
we
won't.
G
I'm
sure
that
we
will
do
you
guys
get
to
that
as
we
look
to
at
the
comparisons
between
our
pure
cities
and
how
we
make
progress
amongst
those.
I
hope
that
we'll
also
keep
that
in
mind
too.
G
As
we
see
what
other
cities
are
are
doing
around
us
that
we're
able
to,
I
don't
necessarily
compare
and
contrast,
but
have
a
good
understanding
of
you
know,
kind
of
where
we
fit
within
those
you
know,
and
in
other
cities
around
the
around
the
around
the
city
I
just
look
at
bloomington
has
always
been
in
terms
of
parks
and
recreation,
as
always
being
the
leader
and
looking
forward
to
us.
G
You
know
kind
of
capturing
that
as
we
move
forward,
and
I
I'm
looking
forward
to
this
plan
really
kind
of
doing
that.
So
thank
you
again
for
all
your
hard
work
and
the
hard
work
that's
to
come.
Thank
you
much
guys.
H
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
just
want
to
first
start
by
saying
thank
you
to
renee
and
ann
and
brad.
This
is
really
incredible
work
and
I
am
very
excited
like
the
mayor
and
the
rest
of
my
colleagues
on
council.
Here,
I'm
sure-
and
so
you
know,
I
guess
just
a
couple
comments
and
then
I
have
one
question.
H
First,
you
know
we
hear
over
and
over
again
that
parks
and
rec
and
trails
and
natural
resources
is
one
of
the
things
that
people
love
most
about
living
in
bloomington
and
but
you
know,
like
you,
laid
out
very
clearly
in
the
report.
H
Even
in
specific
words,
I
see
in
the
report,
I
can
tell
that
you've
really
been
listening,
not
just
to
counsel
but
to
our
commissions
and
to
residents,
and
so
I
just
really
really
appreciate
that
and
and
then,
like
the
mayor,
said,
I'm
really
excited
to
see
very
tangible
action
steps
laid
out
very
clearly,
and
so
my
my
question-
and
you
may
have
said
this
and
I
missed
it
as
I
was
continuing
to
skim
through
the
package
again
for
the
ongoing
or
the
next
steps
in
public
engagement.
H
Will
you
be
visiting
some
of
the
stakeholder
groups
that
have
been
created
by
the
co-ed
team?
So,
like
the
bipolar
groups,
I
know
they
had
a
group
of
seniors
that
met
toward
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
I'm
just
curious
if
you'll
be
visiting
kind
of
some
of
those
really
more
specific
stakeholder
groups.
B
American
council
member
carter,
members
of
council
on
friday
I
have
begun
discussing,
I
said
with
co-ed
talking
with
some
specific
groups.
The
latino
leaders
group
is
one
specific
group
that
I
provided
an
engagement
opportunity
to
with
the
help
of
their
group.
We
provided
it
in
spanish
and
amanda
cromby.
Our
liaison
is
going
to
help
us
connect
to
follow
up
with
that
group.
Again
we
will
discuss
opportunities,
I'll
learn
from
amanda
what
other
opportunities
with
groups
that
they
meet
with
regularly
that
we
could
connect,
and
I
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up
for
us.
H
D
D
You
have
shown
truly
what
a
good
parks
master
plan
should
look
like
and
if
anyone
else
out
there
is
listening
who
participated
in
that
plan,
the
creation
of
it
is
listening.
I
think
they
would
agree
also
so
great
job,
just
just
a
great
job.
D
D
Lastly,
and
and
going
back
to
the
mayor's
comments
very
early
in
the
meeting
about
the
changing
environment
that
we
are,
I
know
that
when
this
plan
was
put
together,
that
is
up
on
the
screen
for
next
steps.
D
Let's
talk,
bloomington
was
really
about
the
only
vehicle
that
we
had
to
safely
gather
a
lot
of
data
and
information
and
comments
back
from
our
our
the
general
public
and
today
that's
evolving
and
quickly
evolving
and,
I
think,
there's
a
number
of
a
great
number
of
our
community
who
don't
really
feel
good
about
using
some
of
the
electronic
tools.
D
I'm
not
you
know.
Let's
talk,
bloomington
is
a
great
tool,
but
they
really
want
to
sort
of
press
the
flesh
and
look
eyeball
to
eyeball
and
talk
to
that
person
and
say
here's
really
what
I
think
and
since
we're
looking
you
know,
we've
got
some
time.
Consider
a
a
group
opportunity
to
get
input
from
around
the
city
and
again
no
need
for
response.
Just
one
council
member's
comments
to
the
that
effect
and
again,
thank
you
for
your
good
work
and
great
plan.
Q
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor
and
I'll
echo,
the
thanks
for
my
colleagues
and
yourself
and
I
think
it's
a
outstanding
plan.
I
just
have
a
couple
of
quick,
probably
nuances
and
questions
on
it.
I
was
looking
at
the
map
where
it
outlined
the
numerous
parks
throughout
the
community,
and
maybe
I
missed
it,
but
I
was
just
wondering
there
seemed
to
be
a
couple
of
outside
entities
that
were
located
the
three
rivers
park
district
locations
at
highland.
Q
Obviously,
the
golf
course
that
we
recently
entered
into
a
relationship
with,
but
still
own,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
all
of
the
public
school
amenities
were
there.
Some
of
the
national
wildlife
reserve
locations,
obviously
the
large
one
on
the
east
side,
but
the
old
cedar
bridge,
lindale
boat,
launch
all
of
that
type
of
stuff,
and
then
I'm
also
wondering
about
any
private
recreational
park
type
amenities.
Q
If
they
were
on
there.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
we
don't
just
look
at
the
city
providing
for
the
needs
of
the
residents
and
the
larger
community
in
terms
of
providing
amenities,
but
that
the
plan
looks
to
how
we
could
provide
those
in
partnership
with
other
organizations.
Q
And
I
guess,
if
there's
a
question
at
all
there.
How
is
that
those
types
of
partnerships
and
relationships
integrated
into
the
plan.
N
Yeah
renee
yeah.
Thank
you
great
question,
councilmember
nelson
you're,
right
that
that
map
is
showing
just
sort
of
the
city
parks,
department,
controlled
or
controlled,
operated
facilities
in
the
where
they're
the
implementing
agencies
for
some
of
the
regional
parks
we
do
in
in
other
sort
of
analyses
and
maps.
N
If
you'll
recall,
we
did
a
study
on
playgrounds,
so
we
looked
at
school
facilities
that
had
playgrounds
and
kind
of
the
walking
times
to
those
and
factored
those
in
in
in
some
of
those
instances,
and
also
in
the
level
of
service
study
that
we
did,
we
didn't
incorporate
other
agencies
into
those.
So
you
know
the
softball
fields
at
the
schools
is
one
that
is
coming
to
mind.
That
is
definitely
factored
in.
The
three
rivers
acreage
is
located
in
that
and
some
of
the
u.s
fish
and
wildlife
acreage
is
factored
into
that
as
well.
N
Q
Well,
thank
you.
I
very
much
appreciate
it
just
wanted
to
highlight
that.
I
think
that
those
types
of
partnerships
are
a
key
opportunity
for
us
for
funding
sources
as
well,
as
you
know,
accelerating
the
build
out
of
what
we
see
as
this
vision
on
there.
Q
The
last
thing
that
I
want
to
point
out
and
when
I
look
through
this,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
because
I
know
there
was
some
talk
about
economic
development:
how
to
take
a
look
at
sponsorship
advertising
how
to
generate
other
revenue
sources
to
help
cover
the
cost
of
these
in
a
way
that
really
makes
sense,
in
my
opinion,
for
the
community-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
taking
a
look
at
those
opportunities
looking
at
how
you
might
most
effectively
do
that,
so
that
our
local
businesses
can
get
their
brand
out
there,
that
they
can
encourage
people
to
come
patronize
their
business
and
to
help
us
build
a
better
park
system
going
forward.
Q
So
it's
it's
not
just
on
the
back
of
property
taxes
or
other
governmental
funding
sources.
So
I
I
thought
that
was
great
and
and
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
including
that.
A
A
I
don't
believe
I'm
seeing
any
new
hands
go
up
right
now,
so
I
think
we
will
say
once
again
to
all
the
folks
involved
in
this.
Thank
you
thanks
for
the
product
so
far,
it
looks
fantastic
and
looking
forward
to
hearing
the
community's
response
to
this
and
hearing
their
input.
I
would
concur
with
council
member
below
if
the
opportunity
arises
to
do
face-to-face
meetings
in
a
maybe
in
a
park,
there's
an
idea,
a
big
open
area
where
you
can
get
people
involved
and
bring
them
together
and
get
some
feedback.
A
I
think
it
would
be
a
worthwhile
opportunity
for
folks
to
do
that.
So
I
I
applaud
you
well
done.
Ms
catcher,
I
see
you're
popped
in
here.
Did
you
have
anything
to
add
as
we
as
we
wrap
this
up
tonight.
E
Mayor
members
of
the
council,
thank
you
very
much.
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
the
many
hours
that
you've
given
us
over
the
past
year
year
and
a
half
as
we
have
worked
our
way
through
this
project.
It
has
been
enlightening.
Eye-Opening,
it's
been
a
great
experience
for
our
staff.
It's
been
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
engage
very
significantly
members
of
the
community
and
continue
to
develop
those
relationships.
E
So
we're
just
really
excited
about
the
future.
We're
very
excited
about
the
plan.
It
was
fun
to
hear
your
comments
mayor.
It
was
especially
fun
to
hear
your
comments,
because,
quite
honestly,
those
are
some
of
the
nuts
and
bolts
that
sometimes
people
don't
appreciate
it
as
much
as
staff
does,
and
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
are
as
excited
about
to
improve
our
operations,
improve
our
efficiency
and
improve
the
service
that
we're
providing
to
the
residents
of
bloomington.
So,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
feedback.
I
want
to
thank
brad
publicly.
E
He
and
his
team
have
done
just
an
amazing
job
on
this
plan
and
and
we
couldn't
be
happier
to
be
partnering
with
with
brad
and
the
confluence
team.
So
thanks
again
for
your
time
this
evening,
we
really
appreciate
it.
A
And
thank
you
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
this.
I
appreciate
it
and
yes
brad
you
and
your
entire
team.
Please
pass
our
thanks
along
to
them
for
the
work
to
do
this
work,
especially
as
the
world
has
been
over
the
past
15
months
or
so
is
they're
pretty
darn
impressive,
so
well
done.
Thank
you
much
for
that.
A
Very
good:
we
will
move
on
we'll
move
on
to
item
8.3,
which
is
our
legislative
update.
We
will
welcome
back
mr
shane
rudlang
to
give
us
our
the
legislative
update.
I
think
council
member
coulter
could
pop
in
too
with
any
insights
he
might
have.
I'm
sure
you
know
that
they
actually
did
adjourn
today
or
have
they
adjourned,
or
are
they
officially
still
in
I'm,
not
even
sure
they
are
adjourned,
officially
adjourned
with
work
unfinished,
and
so
mr
redlang
welcome
back.
P
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
council
members.
I'll
share
a
short
presentation
on
this
item
as
well.
The
legislature
did
adjourn
today
they
are
done
for
the
time
being
anyway.
So
what
happened
today
was
they
did
reach
a
budget
deal
which
I
won't
go
through.
P
Each
of
the
bullet
points
there,
but
it
sets
targets
and
sets
some
parameters
around
which
the
conference
committee
can
do
all
their
funding
and
policy
work,
and
what
they're
targeting
right
now
is
a
special
session
no
later
than
june
14
that's
kind
of
the
date
people
are
talking
about,
but
you
talk
you
hear
it
talked
about
in
the
context
of
they
need
to
get
back
together
before
june
14,
because
that's
when
the
governor's
emergency
powers
would
need
to
be
renewed,
should
he
should
he
do
that,
and
so
people
are
kind
of
circling
that
date
and
there's
a
few
other
dates
floating
around
as
interim
milestones
for
people
to
do
their
work
so
that
they
can
ever
they
can
get
done
by
june
14
and
pass
what
they
need
to
pass
whatever
it
is.
P
They
finally
decide
to
pass
and
that
all
needs
to
happen
before
june
30
on
the
budget
side.
Otherwise
there
would
be
a
minnesota
government
shut
down
and
so
everybody's.
You
know
very
cognizant
of
the
the
day
on
june
30..
P
It's
important
to
note
that
there
are
still
a
number
of
things
that
are
not
decided
while
they
did
literally
ink
a
deal,
looks
like
this
on
budget
targets
and
some
specific
dollars
in
policy
provisions,
there's
a
number
of
things
that
they
have
yet
to
decide
on,
in
particular,
the
governor's
executive
orders,
which
are
covering
a
number
of
topics,
including
the
eviction
moratorium,
and
so
that
that
is
still
a
thing.
P
P
You
know
dozen
or
so
items
that
various
people
at
the
city
are
are
working
on
with
their
various
stakeholder
groups
and
so
on,
which
we
can
try
to
answer
questions
if
the
council
does
have
any
questions
on
those
specifically,
but
so
may
17
is
here.
It's
done.
They
did
come
to
a
sort
of
deal,
but
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
do
over
the
next
month
for
them
to
sign
various
bills,
tax
bill
and
others.
So
with
that
be
happy
to
answer
questions
again,.
A
P
Mr
mayor
council,
members
I'll
give
my
two
cents
for
whatever
that's
worth.
Maybe
it's
two
cents.
The
good
news
is,
I
think,
they've
set
some
interim
dates
to
really
try
to
keep
the
process
moving
over
the
next
month.
P
You
know
eviction
moratorium,
you
know
all
the
policy
decisions
in
the
various
conference
committees
are
are
very
important,
and
so
you
know
this
deal
could
fall
apart
again,
but
it's
good.
There
is
a
literally
a
signed
deal
sitting
here
in
front
of
us
that
at
least
has
the
parameters
of
what
the
end
of
2022
2021
excuse
me
session
could
look
like.
O
Thank
you
mayor
not
to
I
don't,
have
any
questions.
Obviously,
because,
as
you
mentioned,
this
is
what
I
do
for
my
day
job.
I
I
think
you
are
you
know
for
what
it's
worth.
I
think
you
are
right
to
be
skeptical
of
this
deal.
Holding
out
for
another
month,
I
will
say,
based
on
my
own
experience,
the
the
actual
budget
targets.
The
actual
spending
targets
were
never
the
particularly,
I
think,
challenging
items
of
the
session.
As
I
recall,
the
initial
overall
targets
were
not
particularly
far
apart.
O
It's
going
to
come
down
to
all
the
policy
discussions
and
and
everything
else
that's
going
on
this
bill
onto
his
bills.
I
will
say
that
you
know
part
of
the
agreement
that
was
announced
today
was,
and
I
think
chain
glossed
over
it
a
little
bit
because
it
wasn't
super
applicable
to
city
work,
but
the
three
agreements
related
to
state
tax
deductions
for
ppp
loans
and
unemployment
benefits,
and
so
that
that
means
there
will
be
a
tax
bill.
O
There
does
not
have
to
be
a
tax
bill,
but
that
being
part
of
the
agreement
means
there
will
be.
You
know
how
much
more
of
it.
You
know
how
much
more
there
is
beyond
that.
I
you
know
I
suppose
up
for
discussion,
but
you
know,
I
think,
that's
that's
good
news
for
our
our
provisions.
That
would
need
to
go
through
a
tax
bill.
You
know
beyond
that.
O
I
I
think
you
know,
as
shane
said
I
I
think,
the
sort
of
the
the
dates
between
now
and
june
14th
or
some
14th
yeah.
I
my
hope,
is
that
that
that
will
create
some
accountability.
O
A
F
Mr
mayor
and
council
members,
I
have
nothing
this
evening.
I
would
like
to
check
in
with
chris
wilson
just
to
make
sure
there
isn't
anything
from
staff
over
the
past
couple
days.
While
I've
been
away.
A
O
Thank
you
mayor.
Just
a
quick
note
of
thanks.
I
heard
a
report
that
I
forget
when
it
was
exactly
sometime
over
the
last
week,
but
someone
was,
I
believe,
golfing
at
highland
greens
and
collapsed,
and
bloomington
police
bloomington
fire
and
alina
emts
showed
up
on
the
scene
very
very
quickly
and
were
fortunately
able
to
save
this
individual
and
he
is
recovering.
But
I
I
wanted
to
just
put
out
a
quick
note
of
thanks
to
our
bloomington
police
officers,
firefighters
and
in
the
alliance
emts
by
all
accounts.
O
It
was
an
impressive
show
that
that
moved,
seamlessly
and
and
obviously
resulted
in
a
in
a
life
saved
on
a.
I
think.
That's
just
really
really
incredible
work
and
and
just
wanted
to
recognize
the
folks
responsible
for
that.
A
A
G
Can
only
fit
so
much
in
there
well,
I
had
promised
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
that
I
would
respond
to
a
a
a
resident.
I
will
not
use
their
name
because
I
think
they
didn't
want
that
used.
G
There
was
a
statement
actually
in
there
that
you
made
that
I
supported,
and
you
know
basically
I
want
to
comment
on
that
just
so.
We
we
talk
about
being
transparent
so
rather
than
writing
it
out.
G
I
wanted
to
be
sure
that
everybody
hears
it
since
my
comments
were
made
at
the
at
the
public
meeting,
but
you
know
one
council
member
challenged
me
about
the
tone
of
the
comments
and-
and
you
know
you
know
frankly,
I
you
know-
I
think
we've
got
to
have
some
humility
and
I
also
understand
you
know
where
the
mayor
is
coming
from,
and
we've
got
differing
points
of
view
on
on
on
that
and
that's
fine,
but
I
think
it's
it's
important.
G
The
mayor
brought
forward
comments
that
things
need
to
be
accurate
as
accurate
as
possible
and
we're
talking
about
the
city's
business,
and
then
I
think
we
as
a
council,
I
think,
always
strive
to
do
that,
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
number
of
folks
who
have
differing
points
of
view
and
differing
points
of
view
as
before.
I
have
defended
those
different
points
of
view
in
the
past,
so
but
what
I
would
say
I
I
continue
to
support
the
mayor's
statement.
G
I
know
this
is
a
tough
job.
We
need
to
have
humility,
as
as
we
do
this
type
of
work
and
again
I
thank
the
mayor.
I
also
think
that
the
council-
I
also
thank
our
residents,
who
who
comment
and
when
they
get
upset
about
things,
and
they
want
to
comment
to
us.
G
I
think
it's
important
that
we
listen
to
what
they
have
to
say,
but
we
also
need
to
be
be
accurate
and
I
will
certainly
make
every
effort
that
I
can
be
to
be
careful
with
my
tone
in
terms
of
what
I
say,
but
I
support
what
you
had
to
say
mayor
a
number
of
I'm
not
backing
off
of
that.
So
thank
you.
That's
all.
I
have
to
say.
