Description
Bloomington Minnesota City Council Study Meeting
A
Good
evening,
everyone
and
welcome
I'd
like
to
call
this
august
17th
meeting
of
the
bloomington
city
council
to
order
this
is
a
study
session
this
evening
and
we
have,
as
we
always
do,
a
full
and
interesting
agenda,
and
so
I'd
like
to
get
it
started
right
away
here
with
our
covet
19
organization
and
public
health
update
once
again,
we're
joined
by
dr
nick
kelly
good
evening.
Dr
kelly,
welcome.
B
A
A
Looks
like
he's
still
muted
and
getting
his
camera
up
to
speed,
we'll
just
we'll
note
that
six
members
of
the
council
responded
that
they
were
present.
Councilmember
lohman
is
on
his
way
in
well
there
he
is
remember.
Lowman
has
joined
us
now.
All
seven
members
of
the
bloomington
city
council
are
present
and
thank
you,
mrs
christensen,
for
keeping
me
on
my
toes.
Sometimes
I
forget
to
call
the
roll
I
apologize
for
that.
A
E
Good
evening,
council
members,
as
of
this
afternoon,
there
are
1326
confirmed
cases
of
coven
19
in
bloomington,
we've
lost
46
of
our
neighbors
to
this
disease
and
119
have
been
hospitalized
over
50
percent
of
these
cases
are
from
the
black,
indigenous
and
people
of
color,
the
bipod
community,
while
the
american
community
survey
estimates
that
28
of
bloomington's
population
identifies
as
a
member
of
the
bipod
community
since
july
1
we've
had
558
cases
the
7
and
14
day.
Rolling
average
rate
of
cases
has
been
declining
since
july
25th.
E
We
will
keep
watching
this
trend
and
hope
it
continues.
There
have
been
37
hospitalizations,
eight
requiring
intensive
care
and
two
deaths
since
july
1.,
as
far
as
how
people
are
becoming
ill
with
covet
19
about
a
third
of
our
neighbors
have
no
known
exposure.
They
acquired
it
in
the
community.
We
weren't
able
to
determine
where
they
got
it.
E
E
E
We
continue
to
track
trends
closely
with
our
case
data.
The
hospitalization
data
follows
the
trends
we
see
across
the
country
and
minnesota.
While
we
see
hospitalizations
across
the
age
group,
it
is
impacting
older
adults
more.
This
mirrors
what
we're
seeing
clinically
your
risk
generally
increases
with
age.
E
This
will
be
the
first
fall
we
have
experienced
during
this
pandemic
with
covid19
as
a
parent
of
three
children,
the
son
of
a
teacher
and
a
public
health
professional.
I
know
how
challenging
decisions
regarding
school
are.
I've
talked
to
many
who
are
anxious
about
this
fall.
This
is
completely
normal
and
expected.
E
E
E
Available
kobit
19
is
changing
many
things,
but
it
doesn't
have
to
change
how
our
community
responds
take
care
of
each
other.
Everyone
is
being
impacted
by
cobit
19.,
while
many
of
our
neighbors
are
being
impacted
significantly
with
changes
to
income
routines
and
contact
with
others.
We
know
it's
not
impacting
our
community.
Equally,
this
disproportional
impact
in
the
bipoc
community
and
our
older
adults
in
bloomington
look
for
ways
to
help
your
neighbor
safely.
E
A
A
We
will
move
on
to
our
second
item
on
the
agenda
tonight,
which
is
an
update
on
our
park
system
master
plan.
We
are
just
about
one
year
just
short
of
one
year,
I
guess
into
our
park
system.
Master
plan
started
back
in
the
fall
of
2019
and
we
are
to
the
point
of
getting
an
update,
and
I
know
we've
got
ann
catry,
our
park
and
rec
directors.
Here
we've
got
a
number
of
other
staff
members.
We've
got
a
number
of
consultants
here
as
well.
A
F
I've
been
in
the
parks
and
recreation
business
for
the
last
46
years,
and
I
was
a
director
of
four
park
on
recreation
systems
around
the
united
states
and
kansas
missouri,
ohio
and
indiana.
Before
my
last
in
as
director
of
indianapolis
since
starting
pros
in
25
years
ago,
we've
had
the
opportunity
to
do
over
300
system
master
plans
like
we're
doing
for
you
right
now
and
have
worked
in
over
300
park
systems
nationwide.
F
A
F
C
C
C
C
Since
the
end
of
2019,
we've
been
doing
community
engagement,
and
can
you
continue
to
do
so
we're
providing
you
an
update
of
where
we
are
now
with
some
of
the
analysis
and
we
will
be
leading
into
actual
draft
documents.
This
fall,
which
include
a
capital
improvement
plan
with
a
prioritization
framework
and
other
recommendations.
D
D
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
looked
at
is
looking
at
bloomington's
growth
by
race
and
ethnicity
and
currently
bloomington
is
definitely
a
little
bit
more
diverse
in
some
communities
in
minneapolis
or
minnesota,
but
maybe
a
little
less
diverse
than
nationally.
But
again,
if
we
look
at
the
entire
city,
that
might
be
true,
but
there
are
certainly
pockets
where
it
is
more
diverse
than
other
areas
of
bloomington.
As
you
know,
next
slide
income
is
important
when
looking
at
recreation
and
looking
at
services
and
what
people
potentially
could
pay
and
what
recreation
things
might
be
available.
D
So
this
is
something
that
bloomington
is
pretty
high
in
compared
to
both
within
the
state
and
nationally
so
kind
of
much
more
median
household
income
than
in
other
areas.
But
I
think
we
need
to
keep
that
sort
of
broad
brush
in
mind
as
well.
When
we
look
at
different
areas
of
the
city
next
slide,
please
renee.
D
This
is
an
example
of
some
of
the
mapping
we're
doing
to
try
to
understand
these
areas
a
little
bit
more.
So
hopefully,
you
can
see
this
on
your
screen,
but
this
is
showing
a
bunch
of
little
dots
and
what
those
dots
are
representing
are
non-white
persons
within
bloomington.
So
we
can
kind
of
see
the
density
of
where
there
is
more
diversity
in
the
city.
D
This
is
probably
not
a
surprise
to
anybody
here,
but
it
really
helps
us
look
at
from
a
parks
perspective.
What
are
the
parks
that
are
around
and
where
are
those
pockets
related
to
the
parks?
And
if
there
are
any
other
sort
of
barriers
to
getting
to
that
parks
is
important.
The
purple
color
that
you're,
seeing
in
kind
of
squares
throughout
the
area
are
areas
of
the
city
in
black
groups,
where
there
are
10
percent
of
those
black
groups.
10
of
those
households
are
below
the
poverty
line.
A
Mr
aldridge,
can
I
interrupt
here
for
just
a
second.
This
is
this:
is
mayor
bussey,
if
I
could,
if
we
could
back
it
up
the
slide
as
well,
so
the
the
dots
tell
me
what
the
dots
represent,
because
they
don't
represent
households,
because
I
see
dots
within
our
park
system
and
I
see
a
concentration
of
dots
at
normandale
community
college.
For
example,
can
you
tell
us
how
how
this
this
measurement
was
actually
taken.
D
Yeah
yeah,
that's
a
great
question,
so
it's
it's
looking
at
actual
persons.
Those
dots
are
representing,
but
it's
spread
out
across
a
particular
block
group,
so
they're
not
going
to
be
kind
of
right
on
top
of
each
other
for
a
home
because
obviously
you'd
have
them
stacked
right
up
on
top
of
each
other,
so
they're
distributing
it
throughout
the
block
group.
So
that's
why
you're
seeing
some
kind
of
bleed
off
into
marsh
lake
park
and
other
parks
where
we
know
people
aren't
living,
but
within
that
black,
the
black
group
they're
just
distributing
those?
D
D
So,
looking
at
the
recreation
trends,
these
trends
are
changing
all
the
time
and
it's
important
to
kind
of
understand,
what's
going
on
both
within
the
city
but
nationally
and
within
the
state-
and
we
just
kind
of
highlighted
a
few
here,
there's
a
more
in-depth
report
in
that
you
have
that
you
could
look
at,
but
just
kind
of
highlighting
the
top
five
that
are
growing
throughout
the
the
last
five
years
and
I
think
there's
some
interesting
ones.
Golf
is
interesting
and
that's
not
just
regular
golf.
D
It's
also
including,
like
top
golf
and
kind
of
these
boutique.
You
know
entertainment
style,
golf
venues
and
then
pickleball
of
course,
is
important.
That's
something
that
I
think
everybody
consciously
feels
like
is
getting
more
popular,
but
this
is
just
kind
of
proof
that
shows
that
it's
it's
really
been
on
an
upswing.
For,
for
more
than
five
years,
baseball
is
kind
of
an
interesting
one.
D
The
declining
trends
are
interesting,
ultimate
frisbee
and
then
the
touch
and
tackle
football
are
certainly
interesting
and
I
think
that's
because
a
lot
of
attention
is
being
put
to
flag
football
and
then
badminton
and
softball
are
going
down.
So
even
softball
slow
pitches
is
going
down.
We
kind
of
highlighted
that
as
well
and
that'll
kind
of
relate
to
some
other
information
that
we're
going
to
provide
in
a
little
bit
next
slide.
D
You
know
not
so
much
in
the
bloomington
park
system,
but
that's
certainly
something
that
we're
hearing
from
people
next
slide
please
and
then
a
couple
of
other
examples:
aquatics
and
water
sports.
Again.
These
are
things
that
were
you
know
that
are
paralleling
what
we're
hearing
in
the
survey
and
a
lot
of
the
online
feedback,
especially
the
canoe
and
kayaking
requests
that
are
out
there
next
slide.
D
Orange
is
kind
of
that
next
level
down
the
green
is,
is
low,
calorie
kind
of
less
intensive
activities
and
purple
is
really
just
being
inactive,
and
I
think
what's
really
interesting
here
is
you
can
look
from
generation
z
to
the
boomer
generation
and
see
that
these
charts
aren't
really
that
much
different?
This
would
have
looked
a
lot
different.
D
So
the
market
potential
index-
this
is
a
measure
of
probable
demand
for
a
product
or
service
within
the
city.
So
this
really
measures
what
people
in
a
different
community
might
participate
in
and
it
kind
of
measures
their
buying
power
measures,
the
activities
they're
already
participating
in
it
measures.
You
know
surveys
answers
to
surveys,
so
the
red
line
is
kind
of
the
national
average,
so
any
bar
that
kind
of
extends,
above
that
national
average
is
something
that
bloomington
residents
are
probably
much
more
likely
than
others
throughout
the
country
to
participate
in.
D
So
I
think
this
one's
interesting
looking
at
golf
is
pretty
high
volleyball
and
softball
and
kind
of
looking
at
the
other
sort
of
the
big
sports.
You
would
think
about
baseball
football
soccer
are
kind
of
below
the
national
average.
So
keep
that
in
mind
too,
when
we
get
to
a
few
slides
later
next
slide,
please
rename
general
fitness.
D
D
Outdoor
activity,
this
one
really
kind
of
parallels
what
we're
hearing
from
our
online
engagement
and
the
comments
that
we're
receiving
and
some
of
the
surveys
that
we've
been
doing
so
hiking,
definitely
on
natural
trails,
canoeing,
kayaking
and
bicycling.
Both
road
and
mountain
is
something
that
is
is
coming
up
pretty
big.
So
I
think
that's
pretty
interesting
that
that's
paralleling
the
information
that
we're
seeing.
D
So
level
of
service,
that
kind
of
asks
you
to
keep
some
of
those
things
in
mind.
Level
of
service
is
really
what
one
way
that
we
look
at
and
analyze
the
existing
system
and
look
at
the
facilities
that
are
in
the
existing
system
and
the
balance
of
those
facilities
and
compare
it
to
national
standards
and
that
kind
of
helps
us
sort
of
cue
up
some
different
questions
that
we're
going
to
ask
ourselves
and
ask
of
the
park
system
and
what
kind
of
park
system
we
want
here
in
bloomington,
so
leon.
F
Some
key
findings,
which
is
probably
isn't
a
surprise
to
many
people,
but
there's
extensive
natural
areas
and
open
space,
which
is
really
phenomenal
for
the
size
of
the
city
and
location
and
and
what
it
brings
to
the
park
system.
We
kind
of
see
over
that
we're
over
served
by
some
traditional
ball,
as
example.
Traditional
amenities,
like
ball
fields,
parks
are
homogeneous
in
terms
of
they
pretty
much.
F
F
So
you
can
pretty
much
see
that
when
you
look
at
the
acres
per
thousand
of
the
city,
the
city
has
an
enormous
amount
of
park
land.
When
you
look
at
it,
but
it's
really.
You
have
to
look
at
the
type
of
land,
that's
there
as
it
applies
to
a
neighborhood
park
or
community
park,
because
these
two
types
of
parks
typically
are
neighborhood,
related
or
they're.
F
Providing
recreational
experiences
that
are
on
a
on
a
regional
area
of
the
city
and
when
you
get
into
regional
parks-
and
you
have
a
very
strong
compliment
from
other
providers
with
three
years
park
district
and
and
then,
when
you
get
into
the
natural
open
space
areas,
it's
even
greater
than
that,
and
so
you
know
most
midwest
city.
Northwest
midwest
areas
in
your
area
in
minnesota
typically
have
in
the
neighborhood
of
15
to
maybe
18
acres
per
thousand,
and
you
can
see
really
quickly
that
you're
well
over
those
amount
of
acres
per
thousand.
F
F
Those
are
areas
where
you
do
pretty
well
in
the
newer
type
of
amenities
like
pickleball
courts.
Apparently
there
is
none,
but
there
is
a
need
for
nine
chords
based
on
the
population
and
the
standard
that's
associated
with
it.
But
then,
when
you
look
at
dog
parks
or
skate
parks
or
those
kind
of
things,
those
type
of
amenities
you
pretty
much
have
one
to
the
current
population
and
then
you're
strongly
supplied
by
us
outdoor
rinks
as
well
and
well
over
the
standard.
F
F
The
next
slide
kind
of
gets
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
of
what
we're
talking
about
here,
which
really
looks
at
the
natural
areas
and
open
space,
really
a
strong
number.
You
know
more
than
any
any
city
that
I've
ever
worked
in.
That
has
this
level
of
open
space,
and
you
know
it's
a
good
thing
I
mean,
but
it's
also,
you
have
to
recognize
the
value
of
that
space,
as
applies
to
the
beauty
of
the
city,
which
you
have
a
beautiful
city,
but
it
also
has
limitations
in
terms
of
access
next
slide.
F
In
this
slide,
you
can
see
kind
of
the
softball
multi-purpose
wheels,
basketball
courts
and
tennis.
You
have
a
really
strong
complement
of
those.
Typically,
you
know
like
as
an
example.
Softball
fields
is
one
to
one
thousand,
and
normally
we
see
that
with
one
to
five
thousand
multi-purpose
fields,
one
to
twenty
six
hundred
we're
going
to
see
that
about
one
to
four
thousand,
and
you
can
see
that
in
various
areas
and
playgrounds,
your
your
site
is
one
to
the
1700.
We
normally
see
that
one
to
2500,
but
again
it's
not
just
about
the
amenities.
F
F
In
the
iceland
categories,
you're
really
strong
in
terms
of
outdoor
recreation,
you
have
13
parks
with
ranks.
28
separate
rink
facilities,
2
out
of
the
13
sites,
have
40
of
the
skaters
who
use
your
facilities
are
in
two
sites
and
the
real
issues.
Ice
quality.
Nice
time
is
decreasing
with
climate
change
because
it's
hard
to
get
consistent
ice
and
we
through
the
survey
process
we
recognize
and
people
recognize
that
they
really
would
like
to
see
more
higher
quality
outdoor
ranks
than
having
so
many,
and
that
we
have
a
good
survey
tool.
C
So
question
for
council:
it's
not
a
decision
this
time,
but
one
of
the
things
that
the
through
this
master
plan
is
a
recommendation
to
reduce
the
number
of
outdoor
ranks
and
as
mentioned
this
is
a
survey
question
on
the
project,
bloom
site
and
and
looking
at
those
responses.
So
far,
there
seems
to
be
support
for
quality
versus
quantity,
but
we'd,
like
some
input
from
the
council
tonight
on.
You
know
how
you
feel
about
keeping
the
same
number
of
rings
versus
reducing
the
number
of
ranks.
A
G
G
I
know
this
was
an
item
that
had
come
up,
for
example,
why
folks
were
driving
by
and
not
seeing
people
utilizing
those,
and
especially
because
I
know
some
of
our
warming
house
infrastructure
is
also
in
need
of
investment.
If
we're
going
to
be
continuing
to
have
those
assets
out
there
as
they
are
now
so
yeah,
I
would
just
say
to
continue
kind
of
projecting
a
vision
of
collaboratively
deciding
how
those
parks
are
going
to
evolve.
G
A
I
guess
that
would
weigh
in
as
well.
It
seems
to
to
make
sense
of
two
of
the
13
sites
of
40
of
the
skaters
that
that
breaks
down
pretty
well
in
the
other
11,
I'm
assuming
a
number
of
them
are
in
single
digits
and
without
seeing
the
actual
numbers
just
using
the
percentage.
The
actual
numbers
I've
got
to
imagine
are
fairly
low
when
it
comes
to
60
of
the
remaining
skaters
spread
out
over
the
remaining
11
ranks,
and
I
bet
we
could
break
it
down.
H
G
G
This
is
a
concept
that
I
think
most
communities
in
this
area
are
really
struggling
with
right
now,
it's
difficult,
you
know
we're
we're
a
cold
weather
state
and
people
like
their
outdoor
activities,
and
people
like
to
have
them
close
to
them,
but
as
the
climate
continues
to
change
and
fewer
people
are
out
on
ranks
and,
quite
honestly,
skating
isn't
as
popular
as
it
was
anymore.
These
become
just
really
really
expensive
amenities
for
us
to
maintain.
G
It's
not
unusual
at
some
of
the
ranks
that
we
maintain
when
our
maintenance
team
goes
to
to
flood
and
maintain
the
rink
the
next
day
it
hasn't
even
had
skating
on
it.
So
we'll
make
some
recommendations
to
you.
If
it's
something
it
sounds
like
several
members
of
the
council
are
interested
in
at
least
discussing.
J
Thank
you,
mayor
I'll,
be
honest.
I
don't
necessarily
have
enough
information
at
this
point
to
weigh
in
too
much
on
the
ice
skating.
I
just
think
it
you
know
stepping
back
it
there's
more
of
a
general
question
in
terms
of
all
of
our
amenities,
whether
or
not
we
want
to
focus
on
quality
versus
quantity.
J
I
heard
early
in
the
presentation
about
possibly
being
built
on
like
softball
and
baseball
fields,
and
things
like
that,
yet
there's
a
great
difference
between
a
neighborhood
softball
field
and
some
of
our
larger
amenities,
like
dred,
scott
or
valley
view
that
we've
heard
quite
a
bit
of
passion
about,
and
you
know
just
in
general.
I
think
that
quality
probably
tips
the
scale
on
most
things.
J
The
other
thing
specific
to
the
ice
skating,
rinks,
there's
there's
two
items
one
a
few
of
those
are
a
couple
are
used
for
dog
facilities
and
you
know
to
a
place
where
to
exercise
your
dogs
during
the
summer,
so
they
have
that
use
the
other
aspect.
I've
seen
in
other
communities
is:
there
are
outdoor
ones
that
have
some
type
of
way
of
freezing
the
ice
so
that
they
have
a
longer
season
if
we're
running
into
issues
with
the
length
of
the
season.
J
A
I
would
agree
with
you
accounts,
member
nelson.
I
think
the
covered
and
refrigerated
rinks
that
we
see
in
st
louis
barcany
dine
are,
I
know,
they're
well
used
and
and
because
they
are
covered
in
refrigerated
you're
right.
They
fill
out
the
shoulder
seasons
and
they're
much
more
usable
for
a
longer
period
of
time.
K
K
Well,
we
have
perhaps
more
outdoor
ice
rinks
than
we
need,
but
there
are
other
types
of
facilities.
That
means
where
needs
are
not
being
met,
and
so
what
I
would
like
to
hear
more
of-
and
I
hope,
you'll
get
to
this
and
suspect
you
will
in
the
future
is
you
know
when,
if
we
were
to
cut
back
on
the
numbers
say
of
outdoor
rinks,
what
go?
What
what
comes
next?
What
goes
in
that
place?
K
What
what
are
we
doing
instead
to
address
needs
that
that
are
not
being
met
currently,
because
I
think
there
is
a
lot
of
potential
and
my
hope
is
that
this
process,
you
know,
as
we
we
think
about
trends
for
the
future-
that
this
process
leads
us
to
making
those
decisions
that
not
only
have
us
rethinking
the
facilities
we
have
now.
But
how
are
we
adapting
to
things
that
that
we're
gonna
need
in
well
that
we
may
need
right
now
and
that
we're
gonna
need
in
the.
F
D
D
So
this
map
is
showing
all
of
the
playgrounds
in
the
city
and
it's
both
the
the
parks,
playgrounds
and
the
school
facilities
and
the
the
two
levels
of
red
that
you're
looking
at
are.
The
darker
red
is
a
five
minute
walk
to
those
facilities
from
residential
areas
and
the
lighter
pinkish
color
is
a
ten
minute
walk.
The
10-minute
walk
is
kind
of
the.
D
D
How
equitable
a
park
system
is,
if
there's
a
good
distribution
of
parks.
So,
overall,
looking
at
bloomington,
it's
actually
pretty
good.
It's
a
pretty
walkable
area.
We
know
that
there
are
some
pretty
big
barriers
with
roads,
so
this
isn't
cataloging
all
of
those
but
I've.
I've
kind
of
highlighted
a
couple
of
areas
with
yellow
that
we
notice
some
gaps
that
are
outside
of
a
10
minute,
walk
to
a
playground.
D
So
we'll
start
to
look
at
these
neighborhoods.
You
know
on
the
west
side,
there's
there's
a
park
in
this
area
that
just
doesn't
have
a
playground,
so
it
might
be
something
that
we
look
at
hey.
Does
there
need
to
be
a
playground
here,
we'll
also
look
at
you
know
how
many
kids
are
living
in
this
area
and
kind
of
a
next
level
of
analysis?
How
how
dense
it
is.
D
So
this
is
that
same
map,
but
we
put
kind
of
an
overlay
of
the
condition
of
the
playgrounds
and
basically
the
age
of
the
playgrounds.
So
the
lighter
kind
of
bluish
color
are
really
newer.
Playgrounds
that
were
just
put
in
eight
years
ago
or
less
compared
to
the
darker
playgrounds
are
over
18
years
old
and
they're
likely
they
need
to
be
replaced
pretty
soon.
So
this
map's
kind
of
showing
there's
a
pretty
good
distribution
kind
of
a
mix,
sometimes
you'll
see
you
know
all
of
the
old
playgrounds
in
one
part
of
the
city.
D
That's
not
really
happening
here,
but
there
are
some
interesting
sort
of
discussion
topics
to
bring
up.
You
know
when
you
look
at
if
you
think
back
to
those
density
maps
that
we
showed
previously-
and
you
know
around
smith
park-
it's
definitely
much
more
dense
and
we
know
there's
a
lot
more
kids
and
that
that
playground
is
getting
pretty
old.
D
D
Prioritize
potentially
some
of
those
replacement
schedules
might
be
density.
It
might
be
the
number
of
kids
that
are
in
that
area.
Yeah.
Thank
you
renee.
So
here's
a
really
good
map
showing
again
those
those
dots
again,
so
that's
representing
essentially
all
of
the
people
in
bloomington
kind
of
spread
out
throughout
the
black
group.
So
obviously
the
northeast
area
is
a
lot
more
dense.
D
I
think
this
map
again
is
really
interesting
to
look
at
the
amount
of
green
versus
the
amount
of
dots,
and
you
know
we've
heard
from
people
just
throughout
that
there's
definitely
a
perception
of
equity
in
parks
and
park,
distribution
on
the
east
and
west
side,
and
I
think
this
map
kind
of
kind
of
highlights
that.
So
what
are
some
things
we
can
do?
We
might
not
be
able
to
to
get
all
of
the
park
land
on
the
east.
That's
on
the
west
side.
D
D
So
this
map
is
showing
kind
of
that
walking
time
again.
This
map
is
still
still
being
updated,
but
it's
really
showing
sort
of
the
natural
or
open
areas
in
bloomington,
and
we
know
we're
not
cataloging
highland
very
well,
but
you
can
imagine
once
that
is
the
walking
times
are
shown
around
highland.
That's
going
to
be
even
more
red
and
green
surrounding
the
west
half
of
bloomington,
but
looking
at
kind
of
the
central
and
eastern
portion,
you
can
see
that
we
have.
D
You
know
the
minnesota
river
valley
is
an
incredible
resource
and
it's
huge
and
it
spreads
across
the
entire
southern
border
of
bloomington,
but
they're
really
only
certain
areas
where
you
can
actually
access
it
to
trails.
So
I
think
that's
important
to
look
at
and
there
is
sort
of
a
lack
of
natural
areas
or
what's
catalogued
as
kind
of
open
space
on
the
east
side.
D
C
We've
had
some
adjustments
to
this
plan,
but
by
and
large
things
have
proceeded
as
planned
and
with
some
key
enhancements
that
I
think
have
been
really
beneficial
to
to
getting
more
engagement.
One
thing
is
the
discussions
going
virtual
in
a
lot
of
respects.
We've
been
able
to
really
have
some
convenient,
targeted
conversations
with
community
groups
allowing
members
of
the
community
to
help
convene
and
set
these
meetings
up.
Amanda
crombee,
our
liaison
in
the
community
outreach
community
outreach
and
engagement
department
has
been
a
critical
team.
C
C
C
That
tool
is
updated
in
may,
with
a
survey
and
to
be
more
accessible
and
to
allow
provide
more
awareness
of
the
project.
We
posted
the
survey
in
the
bloomington
briefing
in
july
and
put
blue
boxes
in
about
a
dozen
different
park
locations,
including
dwan
and
big
specifically
for
this
purpose
to
collect
those
surveys.
C
So
the
online
engagement
tool,
which
was
launched
the
beginning
of
the
year,
has
three
engagement
platforms.
One
is
an
interactive
map
where
people
can
provide
comments.
The
second
is
allows
folks
to
vote
on
priority
themes
that
are
important
to
them
that
we
address
as
part
of
the
parcc
master
plan
and
then
the
new
survey.
C
C
There
were
646
comments
left
on
the
map
and
then
again
the
new
survey
that
was
posted
in
may
286
people
took
the
survey
online
and
227
people
took
it
in
the
briefing
and
returned
it
to
us
either
in
the
mail
or
one
of
those
drop
boxes.
Specifically
for
this
purpose
and
almost
300
people
voted
on
priorities.
C
The
heat
map
on
the
left
shows
where
the
comments
were
made
on
the
map,
so
you
can
see
their
kind
of
highlighting
around
some
popular
park
areas
and
then
the
what
on
the
right?
The
words
on
the
what
slide
show
commonly
used
words
in
the
comments
left
on
the
map.
Trails
have
been
a
continuing
theme.
Natural
resources,
bloomington
the
river
and
access
to
the
river
have
all
been
very
repeated
words
and
themes
in
our
map.
Comments
and
the
priority
themes
really
kind
of
consistent
throughout
the
process
that
we've
been
tracking
on
the
screen.
C
I've
highlighted
the
top
five
themes,
natural
resources,
environment
and
sustainability,
equity
connection
to
parks
and
trails
rediscover
the
river
and
all
seasons.
Recreation.
What's
interesting
about
this,
this
summary
of
feedback.
What
we're
hearing
on
the
map?
What
we
heard
in
the
statistically
valid
survey
and
really
even
what
bloomington
hears
are
important
when
we
do
our
city-wide
surveys,
natural
resources
and
trails
and
sustainability.
C
C
What
we've
observed
as
past
practice,
particularly
with
playgrounds,
is
that
playgrounds
have
been
replaced
as
needed
based
on
you
know,
the
extent
of
their
useful
life,
but
not
with
community
engagement
and
generally,
and
not
with
consideration.
For
you
know
what
should
this
park
look
like
besides
just
replacing
a
playground?
What
experiences
are
missing
here?
C
Is
there
an
ice
rink
that
we
should
consider
decommissioning
in
favor
of
a
different
experience?
Those
kind
of
things
we
prior
to
making
investments
in
individual
parks
we'd
want
to
master
plan,
our
parks
with
community
input
and
then
make
focused
informed
investments
throughout
the
system
in
an
equitable
way.
C
So
it's
continuing
the
dialogue
with
the
community
building
on
what
we're
learning
here
so
far
about
trends
and
needs
expressed
by
the
community
council
has
talked
about
this
a
little
bit
with
the
ice
rinks,
but
as
staff
we
want
to.
We
want
a
little
bit
of
feedback
from
council
tonight
on
your
opinion
regarding
maintaining
or
and
replacing
existing
facilities
as
needed
versus
rethinking
our
parks
and
updating
experiences,
which
we
think
we
could
do
to
better
match
trends
and
demographics.
C
This
has
been
a
kind
of
reviewed
with
our
parks
team,
as
we
are
preparing
the
cip
and
looking
at
what
really
is
a
long,
detailed
replacement
schedule
that
doesn't
really
take
into
account
other
factors
such
as
needs
and
trends,
and
what
the
community
wants
in
a
more
focused
thoughtful
way.
So
I
would
like
to
pose
the
question
to
the
council
at
this
time
maintaining
and
replacing
versus
you
know,
focusing
on
updating
parks
with
park,
more
inclusive
park,
master
planning
prior
to
investments.
C
And
I'll
say,
the
juxtaposition
is
doing
lots
of
small
things
by
updating
and
replacing
and
making
new
at
one
time
versus
more
focused
planning
geographically
across
the
city.
Doing
you
know
kind
of
full
park
and
renovations,
potentially
in
some
cases
that
really
change
and
add
experiences
based
on
community
needs.
J
Thank
you
mayor.
I
guess
I'll
be
honest,
I'm
a
little
confused
by
the
question
because
I
thought
the
reason
we
were
doing
a
parks
master
plan
was
to
specifically
avoid
just
removing
and
replacing
existing
amenities
and
trying
to
look
at
what
we
might
want
to
do
for
the
future,
how
people
are
using
things
now
and
what
we
expect
them
to
be
using
in
into
the
future
for
many
decades
with
that
said,
I
do
think
the
idea
of
having
more
community
engagement,
specifically
when
we
get
into
local
parks
makes
sense.
J
I
would
be
curious
as
to
how
to
balance
that
I
am
just
for
lack
of
a
better
thing.
If
my
neighborhood
park
has
a
softball
field,
I'm
probably
going
to
be
in
favor
of
a
softball
field
in
my
neighborhood
park,
you
know.
So
how
do
we
manage
that?
When
we
look
at
the
system
over
wide
versus
the
neighborhood?
How
do
we
balance
that
out
and
last
point
I'd
make?
Is
I
I'm
a
little
concerned
here
that
we're
gonna
do
a
master
plan
for
every
individual
park
within
the
city?
C
C
We
don't
have
master
plans
for
any
of
our
parks.
In
some
cases,
a
replacement.
Without
you
know,
more
in-depth
planning
does
make
sense.
But
in
some
cases
you
know
if
you're,
making
a
big
investment
in
a
park,
community
engagement
and
creating
a
vision
for
that
park.
For
example,
if
the
cip
shows
that
moyer
park,
picnic,
shelter,
roof
needs
replacement
and
in
in
around
the
same
time
frame.
The
shelter
building
is
scheduled
for
replacement,
as
well
as
the
playground
with
those
types
of
large
investments.
C
Staff
would
recommend
a
more
holistic
view
of
moyer
park
and
master
planning
with
the
community
what
those
facilities
should
look
like
and
more.
What
experiences
is
the
community
looking
for?
You
know
the
types
of
space
indoor
space
versus
outdoor
space,
picnic,
space,
gathering
space,
trail
connection,
so
taking
a
more
holistic
look
at
the
park
versus
just
replacing
expensive
amenities,
as
is
so
in
creating
our
cip.
C
A
J
Yeah,
I
think
it
does
help
clarify
things
just
a
little
bit,
I'm
I'm
still
confused
as
to
how
to
balance
the
master
plan
for
the
entire
community
and
get
engagement
on
the
local
level
and
what
specifically
goes
into
those
parks.
I
mean,
I
guess,
what
type
of
guidance
to
provide
in
the
local
level
so
that
if
every
neighborhood
wanted
an
ice
rink,
we
didn't
end
up
with
17
ice
rinks
in
comparison
to
our
13
ice
rinks
now.
But
how
do
we
have
that
broad
vision?
J
But
then
I
I
agree
completely
with
working
with
the
local
neighborhoods
that
use
those
parks.
What
might
they
want
in
there?
I
think
there's
a
ton
of
opportunities
for
different
usage
of
these
local
neighborhood
parks,
just
as
a
complete
tangent.
One
of
the
things
I'm
I've
been
most
impressed
with
this
summer
is
how
much
our
local
parks
are
being
used
this
summer.
Given
everything
that's
going
on,
and
I
think
it
just
really
maybe
spurs
some
thoughts
on
what
might
be
different
about
those
in
the
future.
J
D
Renee,
do
you
mind
if
I
I
could
maybe
help
answer
that
a
little
bit
more?
I
think
it's
a
great
question.
Councilmember
nelson,
I
think
looking
at
we
can
look
at
sort
of
the
city-wide
and
look
at
you
know
how
many
splash
pads
are
realistic.
Here
we
can't
not
every
park
can
afford
to
have
a
splash
pad
or,
like
a
you
know,
skate
park.
For
instance,
we
can
kind
of
define
in
this
plan
how
many
skate
parks
we
think
we're
hearing
from
people
that
they
want
skate
parks.
D
Maybe
there's
one
in
each
sort
of
sector
of
the
city
or
each
kind
of
maybe
there's
four
spread
throughout
the
city,
and
we
can
kind
of
geographically
locate
those
and
I
think,
staff
and
as
consultants
we
can
kind
of
make
recommendations
like
well.
This
park
potential
park
maybe
makes
sense
for
it.
But
then,
when
you
go
talk
to
that
community,
they
might
say
no
way.
We
don't
want
that
in
our
community
whatsoever.
D
So
you
can
maybe
look
at
another
park
in
that
general
area
as
to
does
this
fit.
You
know
to
the
community:
does
the
community
and
surrounding
neighborhoods
want
that?
Another
thing
that
that
jumps
out
at
me
is
kind
of
the
gathering
shelters,
that's
something
that
we've
been
hearing
a
lot
in
certain
areas.
D
Some
of
these
warming
houses
might
stay
warming
houses.
A
lot
of
them
might
be
sort
of
turned
into
something
else,
a
different
type
of
experience,
and
maybe
that's
like
a
gathering
more
of
a
shelter.
It
could
be
a
picnic
facility,
so
just
kind
of
balancing
that
in
understanding
sort
of
the
parameters
of
these
facilities
and
experiences
and
then
sort
of
getting
into
the
neighborhoods
and
saying
hey,
is
this
really
what
you
guys
want
and
kind
of
testing
those
ideas
out?
D
That
gives
them
a
voice
to
kind
of
help,
find
help
staff
fine
tune?
That,
and
I
think
your
your
your
point
about
the
trails
is,
is
great.
I
think
people
have
been
using
especially
trail
facilities
during
covid,
and
that's
one
of
the
tools
that
I
think
is
going
to
be
looked
at
throughout
the
entire
city.
That
will
hopefully
help
link
all
of
these
things
together
as
one
of
those
tools
that
should
be
incorporated
in
all
areas
of
the
city
and
improved
upon.
K
Well,
thank
you,
and
you
know
I
guess
I
would
say
a
lot
of
the
points
that
that
I
was
going
to
raise
were
were
really
covered
in
that
in
that
last
dialogue,
because
I
think
council
member
nelson
hit
on
a
lot
of
really
important
thoughts.
I
mean
you
know
my
answer
to
this
question
at
the
bottom.
Is
yes,
I
I
think
it's
it's
both
it's
it's
talking
about
what
that
means
in
terms
of
the
differences,
what
you
know,
what
is
what
does
maintaining
and
replacing
existing
facilities?
K
K
I
think
what
what
I
keep
coming
back
to
is
that
community
dialogue
and
that
relationship
building
and
having
those
conversations,
and
I
think
it
involves
having
really
really
tough
conversations
and
putting
the
information
out
there,
and
you
know
saying
to
folks
you
know
if
we
have
one
softball
for
every
thousand
people
in
softball
field.
I
should
say
in
the
in,
for
every
thousand
people
in
the
city
of
bloomington
I
mean
is
that
you
know.
Is
that
really
what
what
folks
want-
and
you
know,
having
the
the
tough
conversations
and
the
honest.
K
And
putting
the
information
out
there,
you
know
if
folks
say
well,
we
yeah
we
do
want
that
many
softball
fields
or
we
do
want
that
many
ice
rinks
okay.
This
is
how
much
that
costs
to
maintain
them.
This
is
what
the
trends
are
showing
us.
This
is
what
we're
seeing
in
our
own
usage
data,
so
that
you
know
we
can.
We
can
really
hear
what
what
folks
are
really
concerned
about,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
times
in
my
experience.
You
know
you
hear
folks,
you
know
they
stand
up
well,
we
need
this.
K
You
know
and
you
you
sort
of
dive
into
it
a
little
bit
deeper
and,
and
you
find
out
that,
for
example,
it
may
be
a
sort
of
what's
the
term,
I'm
looking
for
a
nostalgic
appreciation
for
it.
Well,
you
know
my
kids
played
here.
Well,
your
kids
haven't
lived
in
bloomington
for
20
years,
so
you
know
why.
Why
is
this
really
meeting
our
needs?
H
Mayor
so
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
what's
been
said
and
I
guess
a
really
big
question
for
me,
too,
is
just
you
know.
When
we
get
down
to
the
local
park
level,
I
mean.
How
do
we
make
these
decisions?
How
do
we
prioritize
so
we
have
a
lot
of
need
in
terms
of
infrastructure
replacement,
but
then
we
have
some
really
heavily
underutilized
parks
so
I'll.
H
So
we
would
love
to
see
those
ice
skating,
rinks
go
away
and
have
a
playground
and,
like
you
know,
but
I
mean
that's
in
our
from
our
neighborhood
perspective
and
we
are
in
a
spot
where
there's
no
playgrounds
within
a
10-minute
walk.
But
if
there's
broader
infrastructure
needs
across
the
community,
like
as
a
council
as
leaders
as
park
staff,
how
do
we
really
prioritize
how
whether
we're
investing
in
infrastructure
that
just
really
needs
to
be
replaced
and
and
those
park
likes
kind
of
individual
park
master
plans
with
spaces
in
our
community?
H
That
may
not
have
a
lot
of
infrastructure
that
needs
replaced,
but
the
park
is
just
like
literally
sitting
there
with
nobody
using
it
at
all.
So
I
guess
that
would
be
something
that
I
would
want
to
elevate,
but
otherwise
I
think
it.
It
really
makes
sense
to
engage
the
neighborhood
and
then,
of
course,
balance
that,
with
the
broader
master
plan
for
the
entire
city.
A
Thank
you
councilmember.
You
made
the
point
and
others
did
as
well.
It
I
think,
starts
and-
and
is
such
an
important
start
with
the
conversation
with
the
neighborhood,
because,
first
of
all
to
to
put
it
into
context
and
then
also
to
to
answer
the
questions.
The
questions
that
you
have
here,
I
could
see
an
engagement.
A
strong
engagement
with
the
neighborhood
could
lead
to
maintaining
or
replacing
existing
facilities.
If
there's
a
playground
and
a
park
shelter
that
is
just
badly
in
need
of
replacement,
but
that's
what
the
neighborhood
that's.
A
A
C
F
So
currently,
the
the
two
major
indoor
facilities
that
you
have
are
big
and
you
also
have
the
senior
center,
which
is
a
school
that
has
been
converted
to
a
senior
center
recognizing
community
input.
Many
of
your
residents
have
indicated
more
year-round
programming
which
would
require
indoor
facilities.
F
A
lot
of
that
story
never
really
gets
out
so
by
looking
at
this
on.
An
economic
value
would
help
the
council,
as
well
as
the
staff,
to
recognize
the
tremendous
economic
impact
that
the
park
system
plays
and,
as
I
mentioned,
from
the
transition
from
a
division
to
a
department,
really
requires
a
different
level
of
thinking
where
the
director
and
the
staff
that
are
responsible
for
this
department
can
look
at
all
sides
of
an
issue
or
a
problem
and
advance
it
as
a
as
a
department
versus
working
through
other
departments
to
move
it.
F
In
terms
of
programs
and
cost
recovery
expectations,
currently
the
the
creating
the
new
pricing
policy
that
establishes
price
based
on
classification
of
programs
needs
to
be
considered.
So
in
most
park
systems
that
you
have
three
types
of
services,
you
have
what
we
call
a
core
essential
service
where
everybody
benefits
the
same.
Pretty
much
is
free
or
very
low
cost.
F
And
then
there
are
private
services
within
the
public
realm
that
are
delivered
where
the
person
only
gets
all
the
benefit,
and
the
taxpayer
has
very
little
benefit
and
in
part
of
this
work
is
to
look
at
what
is
the
true
cost
of
services
to
that
both
direct
and
direct
direct
and
indirect
in
the
system.
Right
now,
the
system
does
a
pretty
good
job
of
tracking
direct
costs,
but
not
indirect
costs.
F
So
in
working
and
pricing
services,
there's
not
a
real
tight
recognition
for
what
it
costs
to
provide
the
service
and
the
cost
benefit
associated
with
it,
and
is
that
reasonable,
within
the
budget
that
the
department
has
and
then
determining
long-range
vision
for
the
recreation
as
it
applies
to
community
center
ice
and
aquatic
facilities
that
emphasize
a
preferred
delivery
model?
European
right
now,
outside
pool
is
a
little
over
50
years
old.
F
I
was
telling
staff
that
that's
at
the
very
very
top
end
of
a
pool
lasting
that
long
to
be
able
to
get
50
years,
especially
in
a
cold
weather
climate,
most
of
the
time
in
most
cold
weather,
climates
they're
in
the
35
to
40
years.
So
you've
done
very
well,
but
where
does
it?
Where
do
we
go
with
that
in
relationship?
F
Because
if
that
pool
would
happen
to
not
work
one
year
when
you
really
expected
to,
I
think
that's
something
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
Likewise,
your
ice
facilities-
and
you
have
just
the
the
one
senior
center,
not
not
a
a
connected
community,
a
multi-generational
type
of
center,
that
most
systems
in
most
cities
your
size
has
and
then
really
addressing.
How
do
we
look
at
non-productive?
F
I've
listened
to
you
all
talk
this
evening,
and
you
recognize
that
you
have
some
portions
of
your
park
system
are
non-productive
and
underutilized
well
part
of
this
process,
and
I
think
what
rene
was
getting
to
was.
As
you
look
at.
Updating
a
specific
piece
of
equipment
is
a
time
to
look
at
what's
non-productive
in
the
park
as
well.
What
could
be
replaced
to
energize
the
park
and
have
more
community
ownership?
F
What's
interesting
about
your
park
system
is,
I
am
sure
that
a
lot
of
the
parks
were
were
purchased
with
land
and
water
conservation
funds
back
in
the
60s
and
70s,
and
when
land
and
water
conservation
funds
were
actually
brought
about
in
buying
park
and
putting
amenities
in
the
guidelines
at
that
time
said
you
had
to
have
two
tennis
courts.
You
had
to
have
a
basketball
court,
you
had
to
have
a
practice
or
a
game
field.
F
A
I
F
That's
a
good
question.
Typically
by
knowing
the
direct
cost
and
indirect
costs
of
providing
the
service,
you
can
evaluate
whether
that
services
should
be
based
on
its
value.
Where
does
it
fall
in
terms
of
core
essential?
It's
an
essential
service,
we're
going
to
provide
it
at
a
low
cost
or
no
cost,
or
if
it's
an
important
service.
What
is
the
contribution
and
what's
fair
to
your
community?
F
There's
a
whole
host
of
that
you
look
at
when
you
look
at
providing
a
price
for
a
service,
and
what's
interesting
is
is
that
pricing
most
people
see
it
as
a
tax,
but
it's
really
a
benefit,
and
when
you
look
at
it
as
an
example,
I'll
just
use
this
if
somebody
has
exclusive
use
of
a
government
or
a
park
facility
or
personal
gain.
What
what
should?
What
is
the
taxpayer's
responsibility
to
subsidize
that?
F
J
Something
like
a
large
softball
tournament:
let's
use
that
as
an
example
where
people
stay
in
hotel
rooms
they
dinot
at
restaurants,
they
shop
within
our
community.
They
maybe
take
advantage
of
some
of
the
entertainment
and
recreation
opportunities.
Will
we
be
able
to
see
that,
because
that
is
an
economic
value
of
of
these
facilities?
That
may
not
be
measured
specifically
in
the
price
that
we
charge
for
that
opportunity.
F
Yes,
we
should
be
able
to
set
up
the
economic
process.
The
state
has
a
process
that
they
that
most
of
the
agencies
across
the
country,
it's
called
a
rim
which
basically
means
it's
a
it's,
the
value
of
a
recreation
experience
and
how
many
times
has
the
dollar
turned
over
and
they
basically
do
it
within
the
state
itself.
So
there's
consistency
and,
in
my
mind
this
is
something
that
should
be
explored
and
actually
be
part
of
the
budget
process
by
the
staff
that
they
constantly
every
year
share.
J
Yeah.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
information
that
that's
actually
excellent,
that
we
have
the
ability
to
take
a
look
at
that.
One
of
the
questions
I
have
is:
is
there
a
different
economic
impact
for
let's
take
soccer
as
an
example
and
playing
with
the
national
sports
center
and
its
soccer
facilities
there
versus
we
have
a
bunch
of
soccer
fields
in
bloomington?
J
F
F
So
so
that's
a
good
thing,
and
but
I
I
think,
when
you're
talking
about
something
local
and
local
people,
but
your
residents,
it's
more
about
a
ball
glove.
I've
got
like
we
bought
bats
and
balls
and
t-shirts
and
and
in
sport,
clothing
it's
more
local.
It
has
value,
but
it's
it's
a
different
type
of
a
value
from
a
standpoint
of
health
and
wellness
and
the
value
of
being
part
of
something,
an
association,
that's
a
social
value,
more
than
an
economic
value.
F
Just
in
your
existing
system,
right
now
we
evaluated
your
current
core
programs
and
and
then
how
what
are
the
pricing
options
that
are
available,
so
some
are
priced
by
eight
segments.
Some
are
by
household
status.
Some
of
them
are
residents
a
non-resident
weekend,
non-week
weekday,
primetime,
non-prime
and
the
reason
we're
just
looking
at
this.
F
You
know
in
your
golf
courses,
you
have
prime
time
golf
and
you
have
a
flawless
play
and
you
have
a
tournament
fee
and
you
have
different
costs
for
different
large
bucket
of
balls,
small
bucket
of
ball,
all
the
things
that
basically
go
along
with
pricing
and
for
us
we
were
just
looking
at
what
are
those
options
that
are
available?
What
are
you
using
now
and
then
we'll
make
recommendations
on
the
future,
so
you
maximize
your
facilities
as
far
as
you
can
before
you
have
to
build
new
next
slide.
F
F
Self-Supporting
ice
facilities
typically
can
range
based
on
the
type
of
rink,
whether
it's
outside
or
inside
rentals
of
space,
because
somebody
has
exclusive
use,
there's
usually
a
prime
time
non-prime
timer
present
on
resident
rates,
senior
programs
vary.
Special
events
usually
have
the
widest
age
segment
appeal:
they
usually
are
free
and
youth
programs
can
vary.
A
F
Capital,
it
does
so
typically
most
of
your
department
staff.
Are
you
have
a
lot
of
contracted
staff
or
part-time
staff?
We
do
include
that
in
some
instances
the
full-time
staff,
it's
a
percentage
of
their
salaries
and
benefits,
but
most
of
the
time
they're
not
leaving
that
they're
managing
it.
But
if,
when
we
include
direct
and
indirect
costs,
a
portion
of
the
salary
is
applied
to
the
cost.
L
F
F
Okay
and
then
the
next
issue
is
on
partnerships
and
earned
income.
Currently,
the
the
school
district
charges
the
park
system
for
the
use
of
their
facilities,
but
the
park
system
doesn't
charge
the
school
district
for
their
use
of
their
facilities,
and
I
just
think
that
in
most
situations
it's
usually
reciprocal.
F
It's
unusual
to
see
one
charge
one
and
the
other
one
charge
the
other
one.
It
just
seems
like
that.
That
requires
more
of
a
discussion.
We
really
look
at
the
most
pricing.
We've
already
looked
at
some
of
the
pricing
in
your
region,
but
also
we're
looking
at
this
as
part
of
the
benchmark.
We're
doing
right
now
to
see
where
the
price
points
are
for
similar
services
in
the
region
and
we'll
be
sharing
those
with
you
in
the
future.
F
The
intent
of
looking
at
sports
tourism
as
a
strategy
is
a
real
strategy.
It's
a
real
market
and
you
have
facilities
both
with
your
ice
arena
as
well
as
your
pool
and
your
sports
parks.
That
seems
to
really
resonate
or
have
the
opportunity
to
host
some
major
events
based
on
the
quality
of
the
facilities
and
then
really
looking
at
determining
the
role
of
other
providers
in
the
city
and
define
their
partnership
potential.
F
All
cities
your
size
have
various
partners
who
help
them
deliver
services
and
the
collection
of
really
expanding.
What
the
city
can
provide
is
another
opportunity
and
then
really
just
blanketing
and
looking
at
right
now,
associations
can
take
an
entire
complex
and
book
it
out
exclusively
for
themselves.
What
happens
is
most
of
the
time.
This
is
inherent.
They
take
more
field
time
than
they
need
or
use.
They
usually
build.
Their
games.
F
They'll
have
two
games
a
week
or
two
practices
as
as
a
tournament
as
a
season
gets
going,
they
practice
last,
but
they
still
have
their
games.
What
happens
when
you
blank
it
is
that
you
take
away
the
ability
of
those
fields
to
be
used
by
other
people
or
in
the
neighborhood,
because
they're
already
booked
out
or
permitted
out,
and
the
challenge
is-
is
that
that's
a
practice
you
want
to
continue?
G
Thank
you
very
much
just
to
the
point
that
was
raised
about
kind
of
tournament
tourism.
How
did
it
spare
between
the
information
that
was
provided
in
the
level
of
service
members
say
that
said,
we
have
access
versus
what
might
end
up
being
search
capacity
or
large
tournaments.
If
that
strategy
was
really
successful,.
F
F
It
can
be
in
other
areas
and
the
challenge
is
is
really
looking
at
it
and
knowing
how
much
use
each
one
of
these
fields
have
and
as
as
brad
pointed
out
in
the
trend
section
that
when
you
have
that
many
and
yeah,
when
you
have
a
program
growing,
that's
great,
but
there
are,
there
are
opportunities
that
are
left
out.
I
mean
you
have
no
cricket
fields
in
your
facility
in
your
city
right
now,
which
I
mean
cricket's
still
a
growing
sport.
F
F
Please
sorry:
okay,
I've
already
turned
it
all
right.
The
next
size
looks
at
a
dedicated
funding.
Source
is
limited
based
on
approach
to
land
facilities
and
programs.
I
realize
that
the
park
system
is
in
the
general
fund,
but
looking
at
typically
most
park
systems
have
us
use
anywhere
between
15
and
20
different
funding
sources
to
help
support
their
park
system
and
some
of
those
are
dedicated,
and
I
think
in
the
future.
F
As
you
look
at
this
system,
we
want
to
bring
forward
some
opportunities
to
consider
in
terms
of
how
the
system
moves
forward
the
park
system,
if
it's
looked
at
as
an
economic
tool,
really
has
the
capability
of
really
even
strengthening
the
value
of
living
in
bloomington.
In
my
mind,
you've
got
some
great
resources
and
there
are
some
core
services
that
you're
not
providing
right.
Now,
that
really
could
enhance
livability
in
your
community,
and
I
think,
by
doing
it
and
looking
at
the
economic
value,
the
department,
the
council
itself
will
recognize
what
the
park
system
does.
F
We
already
know
that
trails
is
the
number
one
amenity
that
people
want,
but
the
value
of
trails
is
such
a
health
and
wellness
component
and
what
it
does
for
people
and
we've
already
seen
it
through
it.
And
what
you've
said
earlier
in
this
this
evening
is
that
people
are
using
your
parts
more
majority
and
a
lot
of
those
are
in
the
trail
side,
and
then
the
department
is
not
able
to
keep
the
dollars
they
earn.
F
So
if
they
have
a
certain
budget,
if
they've
got
it
because
of
great
programming
and
energy
that
goes
up
in
their
system
and
providing,
if
they're
able
to
keep
those
dollars,
it
helps
them
to
support
and
market
more
of
their
system
through
others
and
wider
opportunities
they're
not
able
to
keep
it.
What
happens?
Is
it
just
lowers
the
tax
side,
so
they're
just
limited
by
the
budget?
They
have
more
ability
to
grow
or
earn
dollars.
A
C
C
As
I
know,
we
are
short
on
time
what
staff
would
like
to
do,
and
this
is
a
question
for
council.
We
had
an
exercise
in
the
chat,
but
I
think
we'll
skip
over
that.
But
staff
would
like
to
have
individual
interviews
with
council
just
for
30
minutes
to
talk
about
the
current
park
system
and
what
you
think
about
it
and
then
bloomington's
future
park
system
what
kind
of
park
system
we
want
to
see
in
the
future,
and
this
is
really
going
to
we.
C
You
know
it's
a
spectrum
and
decisions
will
vary
by
park
and
by
amenity,
but
just
a
broad
conversation
about
the
park
system
today
and
where
you
see
the
park
system
in
the
future.
So
that's
a
question
for
council
if
you
would
be
willing
to
individually
engage
with
us
in
a
30-minute
interview
to
help
us
understand
where
you're
at
on
that.
A
C
And
thank
you
so
much
council
and
to
our
consultant
team
tonight.
Staff
will
be
continuing
to
compile
the
engagement
findings
transitioning
to
developing
a
draft
vision
mission
and
guiding
principles
which
will
be
kind
of
the
overarching
framework
for
how
we
make
investments
in
the
future.
We'll
be
doing
that
with
more
focus.
Group
interviews
and
engagement
with
our
park,
arts
and
recreation
commission
we'll
be
doing
a
benchmark
survey
with
community,
comparable
cities
and
reporting
back
in
council.
We
anticipate
in
october
prior
to
the
release
of
a
50
plan
for
public
review.
C
B
A
H
I
just
have
one
question
and
then
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done
on
this.
It's
really
awesome
work
and
very
comprehensive,
and
it's
really
exciting
to
see
the
progress
that's
been
made,
especially
given
the
circumstances
that
we
find
ourselves
in
with
this
pandemic
and
the
fact
that
you've
still
been
able
to
do
so
much
engagement
with
our
community.
So
thank
you,
my
one.
H
C
C
We
didn't
get
a
big
response.
In
fact,
we
just
had
a
couple
of
people
reach
out
and
we
had
individual
conversations
with
those
people,
but
they
were
very
informative
and
helpful
for
us
and
we're
excited
to
have
those
new
relationships
there
which
we're
hoping
to
leverage
again
just
with
this
project.
So
that's
and
I
think
the
prime
example
of
how
we've
reached
up
to
the
renter
community.
H
Great
so
in
the
survey
that's
online
or
that
was
online,
I'm
not
sure
is
it
still
active,
it
is
still
active.
Everything
is
respected.
Oh
sorry,
is
that
a
question:
do
we
ask
whether
people
are
homeowners
or
renters,
or
anything
like
that
in
that
survey?
I
just
can't
recall,
because
it's
been
so
long
since
I've
taken
it.
D
I
Again,
thank
you.
It's
pretty
complex
stuff.
I
did
shoot
over
my
email
questions,
so
hopefully
I
send
that
to
ann
and
both
to
you
me
a
lot
of
stuff
here.
My
final
question,
for
you
is:
what
did
you
find
challenging
up
to
this
point
as
you're
kind
of
pulling
this
data
together?
What
what
have
been
your
pain
points.
C
Mayor,
mr
loman
members
of
the
council,
you
know
my
focus
personally
has
been
on
community
engagement
with
amanda,
and
then
you
know,
I
think
the
other
kind
of
pain
point
is
really
assembling
data.
In
order
to
be
able
to
tell
these
stories
and
and
compile
the
analysis
that
brad
and
leon's
team
did
we
work.
I
worked
with
the
parks
and
recreation
team
broadly
and
I
think
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people
put
to
put
a
big
effort
into
compiling
data
about
programs
and
services
and
information
about
the
park
system.
C
A
Very
good
counsel,
any
further
questions,
if
not.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
renee.
Thank
you,
anne.
Thank
you
to
our
consultants.
This
was
as
councilman
malone
said.
That
was,
it
was
a
good
discussion.
It
was
a
lot
of
information
there
and
I
like
the
the
layered
information
of
walking
distances
and
parks
and
the
quality
of
the
park,
equipment,
old
or
new.
A
A
Up
next
on
our
agenda
is
our
question
on
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis.
We
talked
about
this.
I
think
it
was
a
couple
of
months
ago
now.
I
believe
we
brought
this
up
initially
and
asked
staff
to
take
a
little
deeper
look
into
this
and
bring
back
some
thoughts.
Some
recommendations
of
further
discussion
points
regarding
this,
and
this
is
a
I
think,
a
tag
team
tonight
from
a
number
of
different
staff
members.
I
know
we've
got
diane
kirby.
We
got
bonnie
paulson
from
public
health,
nick
kelly
from
public
health
and
faith
jackson.
A
A
M
M
I
have
several
presenters
co-presenters
tonight,
including
our
racial
equity
coordinator,
faith,
jackson,
our
assistant
public
health
administrator,
nick
kelly
and
our
public
health
administrator
bonnie
paulson
and
tonight
we
are
asking
you
to
think
about
racism
in
a
different
way
as
a
threat
to
the
health
and
well-being
of
our
people
of
color,
our
black
community
and
our
indigenous
community.
Here
in
the
city
of
bloomington,
and
we're
talking
about
this
at
a
time
when
covet
19
is
disproportionately
affecting
our
bypoc
communities
when
it
comes
to
both
cases
and
deaths.
M
In
fact,
systemic
racism
has
created
a
never-ending
pandemic
of
its
own.
We
recognize
that
this
is
a
big,
complex
topic
that
we
could
spend
hours
talking
about
the
impact
of
racism
on
people's
lives.
Tonight,
we're
just
going
to
be
highlighting
a
few
of
the
key
points,
because
if
what
is
needed
right
now
is
for
the
work
to
be
named
and
to
acknowledge
that
it
is
an
issue
and
also
because
another
part
of
recognizing
that
racism
is
a
public
health
crisis
also
calls
for
accountability.
M
So
tonight
our
objectives
are
to
create
a
shared
understanding
regarding
health
disparities
related
to
race
in
bloomington,
and
also
we
want
to
receive
preliminary
direction
from
council
on
addressing
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis
in
bloomington.
We
are
not
looking
for
a
final
decision
from
the
city
council
tonight
on
this
issue.
We
anticipate
coming
back
to
you
with
answers
to
your
questions
with
more
information
and
looking
for
your
final
decision
on
a
direction
regarding
this
issue.
A
M
Okay,
all
right!
Well,
let
me
just
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
on
the
video.
Basically
had
the
technology
not
failed
us,
you
would
have
heard
dr
kamara
jones,
who
is
the
past
president
of
the
american
public
health
association,
explained
that
how
our
collective
health
and
well-being
depend
on
aspects
of
our
lives
that
go
well
beyond
our
health
care
that
we
receive
at
the
doctor's
office
or
in
a
hospital
setting,
and
it's
about
nurturing
parents
and
caregivers.
M
M
The
video
also
explains
that
the
good
news,
which
is
which
we
can
change
structures
of
opportunity
and
empower
people
and
places-
and
this
is
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
now-
about
the
public
health
aspects
of
this
and
we're
going
to
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
now
to
nick
kelly.
With
more
on
that.
E
Thanks
diane
good
evening
again,
mayor
and
council
members,
I
wanted
to
ground
this
conversation
a
little
bit
with
a
a
very
broad
definition
of
public
health
that
we
think
about
often
time
in
our
public
health
division.
Public
health
is
what
we
as
society,
do
collectively
to
assure
the
condition
in
which
people
can
be
healthy.
E
This
is
a
statement
from
the
institute
of
medicine's
report
about
the
future
of
public
health
and
when
we
think
about
the
complex
topic
of
racism
and
the
impact
on
the
health
of
our
community,
this
quote
often
comes
front
to
mind
because
how
we
treat
everybody
in
society
impacts
how
we
can
all
be
healthy.
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide
diane
this.
E
This
graphic
is
an
illustration
that
came
out
of
the
bay
area,
health
inequities
initiative,
and
this
is
a
really
a
complex
graphic
to
try
and
show
the
interactions
we
see
and
the
structures
we
see
that
are
impacting
health
and
well-being.
So,
over
on
the
right
side,
you
see
current
traditional
public
health
practices,
where
you're
really
focusing
on
risk,
behavior
change,
disease
and
entry
prevention
and
basic
statistics,
mortality,
life
expectancy,
birth
statistics,
that's
where
the
vast
majority
of
public
health
work
happens
in
the
middle
underneath
the
city.
E
You
see
these
living
conditions,
these
social
environments,
service
environments,
conditions
in
which
people
live
work
and
play,
and
we
like
to
talk
about
these
as
the
social
determinants
of
health
in
the
last
decade,
or
so.
These
have
really
become
at
the
forefront
of
how
public
health
works.
Recognizing
that
these
conditions,
these
these
covariates
really
drive
a
large
aspect
of
health.
E
If
you
go
even
further
to
the
left
side,
you
see
what,
on
the
top,
it
calls
upstream
we're
really
starting
to
see
public
health
shifting
to
focus
on
these
social
inequities
and
institutional
inequities
that
really
drive
the
living
conditions
that
then
facilitate
the
behavior,
the
disease
and
the
mortality,
morbidity
data,
and
so
the
part,
that's
circled.
In
your
graphic,
there
is
really
where
public
health
is
shifting
for
the
future
spending
more
time.
E
And
since
we're
in
this
this
coved
world,
this
is
a
graphical
representation
of
covet
cases.
As
of
today
against
our
population.
Estimates
for
the
city
of
bloomington
and
you'll
see
that
race
is
described
down
there
and
there's
a
little
nh,
and
so
one
of
the
ways
the
census
describes
populations
is
they'll,
often
do
race
or
ethnicity
alone,
hispanic
and
white
alone.
So
you
see
it's
white
non-hispanic,
that's
the
nh,
and
we
have
that
for
asian
black
and
multiple
races
and
other
race.
N
N
N
We
also
know
that
we
have
disparities,
as
it
relates
to
children
living
in
poverty,
and
so
the
average
percent
of
bloomington
children
live
under
the
age
of
18.
Living
in
poverty
is
9,
but
we
see
that
number
is
increasingly
greater
for
our
hispanic
community,
so
it's
at
18
for
other
races.
So
these
are
individuals
who
are
not
classified
by
asian
black
hispanic
or
any
of
those
races
listed
here
it's
at
19
and
then
for
american
indians.
N
Around
race
and
institutional
racism
is
largely
defined
as
a
system
of
policies,
both
from
government
aspects
and
sort
of
institutional
process,
practices
that
provide
benefits
for
some
and
create
barriers
for
others,
and
so
here
I'll
spend
some
time
just
really
connecting
the
dots
between
institutional
racism
and
racial
disparities,
and
to
do
that
I'll
use
housing
as
the
context
here
and
so
I'll
start
with
a
federal
policy.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
can
see
it
here
on
the
screen,
but
at
the
top
of
the
sort
of
connecting
arrows,
I
have
the
fha
redlining
policy.
N
Hispanics
was
one
of
those
colors
and
that's
where
the
sort
of
time
red
line
comes
from,
but
essentially
any
neighborhoods
that
had
a
majority
or
significant
amount
of
non-white.
Members
in
that
population
were
areas
where
they
would
not
back
more
cases.
So
this
is
example
of
a
federal
policy
that
leads
to
racial
disparities
in
our
community.
N
Next
I'll
turn
our
attention
to
contract
buying,
and
so
this
is
an
institutional
practice,
and
so
because
there
was
the
inability
for
non-whites
to
receive
a
mortgage
right
and
obtain
a
mortgage,
I
should
say
and
be
able
to
purchase
home
and
that
in
that
way
they
turn
to
a
more
riskier
process
which
was
contract
buying.
And
so
this
was
a
process
where
title
to
the
property
was
not
transferred
into
the
last
payment
was
made
and
because
this
was
extremely
risky
process,
it
created
a
lot
of
victims
and
those
victims
were
members
of
our
body
communities.
N
So
this
was
an
individual
practice,
but
it
had
a
very
regional
and
national
effect,
and
so
these
covenants
started
popping
up
in
these
all
across
the
country
minnesota
as
well,
and
even
here
in
our
bloomington
community
and
diane,
I'm
gonna
event
ask
that
you
just
advance
the
slide
once
so.
We
can
take
a
picture
of
what
that
looks
like
for
bloomington.
So
here
on
the
slide,
we
have
a
screenshot
that
shows
you
where
we
can
identify
racial
covenants
in
these
in
our
bloomington
community.
N
This
screenshot
is
from
a
website
called
map
and
prejudice,
and
so
imagine,
map
and
prejudice
is
an
organization
that's
based
out
of
the
university
of
minnesota.
So
it's
a
research
organization
and
they
really
rely
on
volunteers
right
to
either
individuals
to
go
and
look
at
the
deeds
that
they
have
on
their
property
and
see
if
that
language
is
there
in
our
students
to
go
through
sort
of
historical
records.
So
what
we
see
here
is
a
snapshot
of
where,
over
the
past
several
years,
they've
been
able
to
identify
racial
covenants
in
these
in
the
bloomington
community.
N
But
it's
not
at
all
right.
A
complete
picture
of
what
that
looks
like
this
is
just
sort
of
what
we
know
based
on
the
information
that
we
have
and
that
project
continues.
If
you're
interested
in
learning
more
about
that
and
or
adding
the
deed
in
your
home
to
that
database,
you
can
check
out
the
link
here
on
the
screen
and
then
you
can
go
back
at
this
point
and
so
that's
another
example
of
sort
of
a
policy
practices
or
procedure
that
has
led
to
disparities
in
the
house
and
community.
N
Another
thing
that
I'll
so
now
we'll
turn
our
attention
to
another
institutional
practice
called
blockbusting,
and
so
this
was
a
practice
that
really
relied
on
the
fear
of
others
right.
And
so
what
would
happen
is
that
some
realtors
enliven
agencies
would
go
into
white
communities
and
they
would
say
you
know
non-white
members,
particularly
african-american
people
are
moving
into
your
neighborhood,
so
you
need
to
sell
your
home
and
because
many
white
homeowners
feared
being
in
a
neighborhood
with
someone.
N
We
in
this
country
develop
a
bunch
of
freeways
and
so
that
freeway
construction
displaced
about
3.8
million
residents
and
largely
those
freeways
were
created
instead
of
built
through
bipod
communities,
particularly
african-american
communities.
So
another
example
here
you
may
be
familiar
with
what
happened
in
the
vondell
community
in
st
paul
with
the
construction
of
94.,
and
so
that
was
a
thriving
african-american
community,
where
there
were
a
lot
of
business
owners
and
homeowners
and
that
was
disrupted
with
the
creation
of
the
highway.
So
that's
an
example
of
what
that
looked
like
and
then.
N
And
what
we
see
here
in
this
timeline
is
that
this
is
not
just
something
about.
This
is
not
just
something
that
has
occurred
in
the
past
right.
So
it's
not
just
looking
at
sort
of
those
historical
inequities.
But
what
we
see
here
is
the
system,
so
systematic
and
institutional
way
of
racism
really
creating
disparities.
N
In
our
community,
and
so
as
a
result
of
all
of
those
different
things
here
in
the
bloomington
community,
eighty
percent
of
our
households,
eighty
percent
of
our
black
households
are
renters
66,
66
percent
of
other
two
or
more
races
are
renters.
64
of
our
american
indian
households
are
renters.
61
of
our
hispanic.
M
So
really
we
see
addressing
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis
as
providing
opportunity,
several
different
opportunities,
first
of
all,
to
focus
on
an
issue
that
has
persisted
not
just
for
decades
but
for
centuries.
There
are
multiple
health
studies
that
have
found
that
health
inequities
at
their
very
core
are
due
to
racism
and
racial
differences
are
the
result
of
decades
of
policies
and
practices
and
systems
that
have
intentionally
provided
advantage
to
some
while
disadvantaging
others.
M
This
also
provides
the
opportunity
to
work
across
our
organization
to
spur
changes
across
all
of
our
sectors
in
the
organization,
including
not
just
public
health,
but
also
housing,
transportation,
economic
development,
employment
and
public
safety.
All
with
the
common
goal
of
shrinking
the
health
gap
between
our
residents,
who
are
black
indigenous
and
people
of
color
and
our
white
residents.
M
We
also
see
this
as
an
opportunity
for
you
to
engage
your
boards
and
commissions
to
help
manage
this
workload
for
you
as
a
council,
and
we
also
see
it
as
an
opportunity
to
collaborate
with
our
community
partners
to
address
this
issue.
Just
this
past
week,
two
local
health
organizations
submitted
letters
of
support
for
declaring
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis
and
facilitating
a
process
to
address
it.
M
M
So
in
the
memo
that
we
shared
with
you,
we
put
forward
three
options
for
addressing
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis
in
bloomington.
These
are
by
no
means
all-inclusive,
but
these
are
three
options
that
we
put
forward,
and
certainly
we
can
certainly
work
on
variations
of
these
as
well.
But
let's
talk
about
the
three
options.
First
option
was
what
we
call
the
status
quo
option.
Basically,
this
is
continuing
to
address
racial
disparities
through
our
existing
public
health
efforts
and
the
strategies
outlined
in
our
racial
equity
business
plan.
M
In
this
option
would
expand
staff
and
council
priorities
in
recognition
of
the
extended
scope
of
the
work
and
also
commit
to
investing
resources
to
lead
and
support
this
work
in
2021
and
beyond,
and
then
finally
option.
Number
three
is
what
we
call
full-blown
commitment
in
addition
to
the
scope
outlined
in
option.
Two,
this
alternative
would
empower
staff
to
participate
in
regional
efforts
to
address
racism
as
a
public
health
issue.
M
M
First
of
all,
is
council
interested
in
adopting
a
resolution
declaring
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis
in
bloomington
across
the
country?
There's
a
growing
list
of
local
and
state
governments
that
have
already
declared
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis
or
emergency
in
the
handout
to
your
memo.
Tonight
there
are
we
counted
91
jurisdictions
that
have
already
adopted
such
resolutions,
including
five
in
minnesota,
and
these
declarations
are
an
important
first
step
to
advancing
racial
equity
and
they
should
be
followed
by
allocation
of
resources
and
strategic
actions.
A
L
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
a
little
bit
of
both
so
I'll
start
with
the
first
that
that
relates
to
the
presentation
and
it's
really
faith's
part
of
it.
Eighty
percent
of
black
households
are
renters.
According
to
the
information
that
was
presented,
met
council
has
goals
for
each
of
the
metropolitan
communities
that
are
focused
on
affordable
apartments
dwellings.
A
N
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
councilman
berloca,
I
I
would
say
in
my
opinion,
no
we're
not
on
the
wrong
track.
I
don't
think
there's
any
one
effort
that
we
can
point
to
right
and
so
part
of
this
conversation
that
we're
having
tonight
is
sort
of.
How
do
we
work
together
with
other
government
agencies
and
how
do
we
really
think
about
all
the
different
things
that
impact
one
issue
and
so
in
terms
of
creating
home
ownership?
N
So
thinking
about
some
of
the
things
that
I
talked
about
in
the
presentation
and
those
have
created
others,
various
particular
areas
of
credit
worthiness
and
things
of
that
nature,
and
so
there
are
many
different
avenues
for
addressing
that
issue
and
based
on
what
I
know
about
what
the
city
is
engaged
in
right
now,
I
wouldn't
say
that
we're
on
the
wrong
track.
I
would
just
say
that
there
are
many
different
ways
to
really
solve
that
problem.
L
A
A
B
B
L
I
don't
know
how
we'll
measure
progress.
I
don't
know
what
the
costs
associated
with
them
are,
and
there's
many
other
things
similar
to
that.
I
think
it's
a
laudable
objective.
I
just
had
again
more
questions
and
answers,
and
I
want
to
let
some
of
my
colleagues
ask
their
questions
so
I'll
pass
on
the
baton
from
here.
Thank
you.
A
A
I
I
So
then,
a
couple
of
questions
that
I
have
as
we
look
at
this.
What
changes
will
we
as
a
city
make
when
we
adopt
this?
So
if
we
were
to
adopt
this
particular
resolution,
which
was
not
wording
for
it?
I
did
see
what
the
house
of
representatives
did.
You
know
what
what's
going
to
change
from
yesterday
to
today
and
then
one
of
the
questions
I
have
for
faith
jackson
is,
you
know
we
have
a
current
plan.
I
Does
this
compete
at
all
for
resources?
If
we
do
both
of
these
things,
help
me
understand
how,
from
a
resource
standpoint,
this
would
work.
If
we
were
to
implement
this
because
everything
we
try
to
do,
I
always
think
we
want
to
do
it
excellently.
So
I
just
if
you
can
help
me
with
that.
Then
I've
got
some
follow-up
questions
based
on
your
response
to
that.
N
Yes,
thank
you.
Diane
mayor,
councilmember,
lowman
I'll,
take
your
first
question,
first
sort
of
where
are
there
sort
of
areas
that
are
similar
in
the
racial
equity
business
plan
and
some
of
the
things
that
are
proposing
and
by
other
agencies.
I
think
that
there's
definitely
similarity
in
the
work.
The
difference
is
that
the
racial
equity
plan
that
we
have
right
now
is
focused
on
those
internal
drivers
right.
N
So
what
are
the
things
that
we
can
do
that
are
within
our
soul,
control
and
really
focuses
on
building
up
our
internal
capacity
to
understand
ways
that
we
can
help
to
address
institutional
racism?
This
would
be
an
expansion
of
that
work
and
sort
of
looking
more
broadly
into.
How
are
we
able
to
eliminate
institutional
racism
in
a
more
broader
way
and
how
we're
able
to
address
racial
disparities
in
our
community
to
do
that?
It
would
require
sort
of
resources
in
terms
of
staff
capacity
and
also
funding
right
now.
I
I
Help
me
understand
from
a
resource
capacity,
and
maybe
you
don't
have
the
answer
to
this.
What
that
looks
like
when
we're
doing
both
of
these
initiatives,
because
these
really
do
sound
like
two
very
comprehensive,
you
know
resource
things
and
what
would
that
take
to
kind
of
get
these
done
and
done
excellently
and
not
just
kind
of
done.
Poorly
help
me
to
kind
of
understand
that.
M
And
mayor
councilmember,
lowman
I'll
I'll
start
with
this,
and
I
think
nick
and
bonnie
will
be
able
to
expand
more
on
this.
I
think
this
is
all
about
aligning
the
work,
aligning
the
work
that
we're
doing
around
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis
around
the
social
determinants
of
health.
So
it's
it's
bringing
the
work!
That's
going
on
across
the
organization
to
look
at
those
social
determinants
of
health
and
to
try
to
address
those
and
founder
nick.
Did
you
want
to
say
more
about
that.
B
B
But,
for
example,
one
of
the
things
is
the
health
and
all
policies.
You
know
we're
already
kind
of
working
on
that,
and
we've
already
had
some
discussion
around
that,
and
so
is
it.
Is
it
something
totally
new
that
we
might
be
doing
or
is
it
something
that
we're
going
to
align
with
something
that
we're
already,
and
I
think
we
haven't
really
had
enough
of
a
discussion
to
say
this
is
exactly
what
we're
doing,
and
I
think
this
is
just
the
beginning
discussion
about
where,
where
does
the
council
want
to
go
and
how?
I
I
think,
with
the
first
initiative
that
faith
is
working
with.
I
I
wonder
from
a
capacity
standpoint
if
we
have
fully
staffed
that
up
to
the
way
in
which
that
fully
meets
the
commitment
to
be
able
to
pull
that
particular
objective
off
and
I'm
just
I'm
not
satisfied
with
how
how
we
have
at
this
point
looked
at
that,
and
so
I
I
just
I
have
some
concerns
about
that.
I
Just
one
council
member's
perspective
about
about
that,
and
we
look
at
equity
in
terms
of
how
we
fund
our
policies
and
how
we
execute
our
our
items,
and
we
can
compare
those
to
the
rest
of
those
priorities
that
we
have
out
there.
I
just
have
some
some
great
concerns
in
particular,
because
these
particular
populations
across
the
country
have
been
historically.
I
On
so
I
just
I
just
I'm
very
concerned
that
we
take
this
very
seriously
and
we're
not
just
going
to
pass
this
and
put
a
resolution
together
and
then
just
forget
about
it.
So
that
would
be
my
comment.
I've
got
other
questions
here,
but
I
just
want
to
just
make
my
my
concerns
know
the
rest
of
my
colleagues.
G
Thank
you
mayor
and
just
just
to
make
sure
I've
got
my
head
on
straight
here
so
say
we
were
to
put
this
resolution
forward.
Does
that
automatically
implement
any
kind
of
changes
in
terms
to
council
policy
or
I'm
thinking,
for
example,
the
emergency
declaration
that
we
made
around
covet
19
that
opened
up
a
new
kind
of
contracting
limits?
Things
like
that
with
the
mayor
and
city
manager?
Are
we
anticipating
any
mechanical
changes,
or
this
is
us
kind
of
just
stating
our
position
and
status
in
the
community.
O
A
F
A
I'd
be
happy
to
weigh
in
on
the
first
question
are
interested
in
adopting
a
resolution.
I
I
personally
would
be
interested
in
adopting
a
resolution
declaring
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis
in
bloomington.
I
I
think
it's
been
laid
out
very
well
tonight.
It's
been
laid
out
very
well
over
the
past
four
or
five
months,
how
it
is
absolutely
a
public
health
crisis
not
only
in
bloomington
but
but
everywhere,
and
it's
it's
something
that
we
we
could
take
the
lead
on
and
we
could.
A
But
as
she
said,
it's
an
internal
thing
as
opposed
to
an
external
plan,
but
we
have
we
have
seen
it
before
with
some
of
our
priorities
that
we've
laid
out,
whether
it's
sustainability
or
our
just
our
discussion
about
parks
or
our
discussions
about
rehabilitating
the
neighborhood
commercial
nodes
in
our
community.
It's
one
thing
to
say
it's
another
thing
to
actually
fund
it
and
actually
put
the
resources
behind
it
to
get
the
work
done,
and
so
we
do
have
to
have
that
conversation.
I
would
agree
with
council
member
below
guide.
A
I
think
we
need
to
have
continued
discussion
and
maybe
do
a
little
more
in-depth
look
at
exactly
what
the
level
of
commitment
would
mean
for
the
city
of
bloomington
from
a
staffing
perspective
from
a
resources
perspective
from
a
from
a
timeline
perspective,
and
I
think
the
final
question
that
we
have
to
ask
ourselves,
especially
with
with
hennepin
county
and
minneapolis,
and
with
the
state
of
minnesota,
with
the
house
of
representatives
declaring
this
a
crisis
or
an
emergency
as
well
public
health
like
this,
I
think,
is
it's
like
housing.
It's
like
transportation.
A
H
I
think
it's
it's
quite
obvious
that
we
do
have
a
crisis
on
our
hands
and,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
that
this
is
something
that
we
should
move
forward
with.
I
understand
you
know
some
of
the
questions
and
the
concerns
that
still
linger
and
the
the
desire
to
be
to
back
up
what
we're
saying
with
resources
and
staffing,
and
so
for
me.
H
I
mean
I
kind
of
see
this
as
an
opportunity
for
us
to
have
an
umbrella
right
kind
of
an
umbrella
strategy
over
the
internal
and
the
external
work,
because
I
mean
we
have
to
be
realistic.
This
work
has
not
just
been
internal
right.
We've
been
asking
equity
questions
in
all
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
then
for
me
personally,
having
a
public
health
background
working
on
issues
like
social
determinants
of
health,
and
we've
been
saying
for
years
that
minnesota
is
often
cited
as
one
of
the
healthiest
states
in
the
country.
H
So
I
would
say
this
is
not
like
a
yes.
These
are
not
yes,
no
questions.
For
me,
I
mean,
I
think,
we've
just
got
to
move
forward
with
this
and
it's
more
about
a
timing
issue
and
then
how
we
resource
the
work
and
some
of
the
work
might
not
take
a
lot
of
resources.
It
might
just
be
changing
a
practice
or
a
procedure
and
doing
things
a
little
bit
differently.
H
Creating
the
coed
division
was
a
great
example
of
how
to
do
things
differently,
and
it
may
have
just
been
a
reallocation
of
resources,
and
so
I
think,
there's
just
kind
of
a
lot
of
gray
space
and
a
lot
of
unknowns.
So
I
appreciate
the
acknowledgement
of
some
questions
and
concerns,
but
I
just
then
going
to
question
number
four.
Around
community
engagement,
like
our
community,
is
telling
us
that
they
are
tired
of
waiting
on
these
issues,
whether
it
is
the
latinx
group
or
the
african-american
leaders,
group
or
barc.
H
You
know
the
bloomington
anti-racist
coalition
or
white
allies
coming
out
from
all
over
our
community.
Sending
us
emails
we're
hearing
it
from
our
community,
so
I
don't
think
that
we,
we
can
always
do
marketing
engagement,
but
I
also
want
to
respect
the
fact
that
we've
been
hearing
from
our
community.
K
Well,
thank
you,
mr
marin,
and
first
of
all
I
want
to
thank
diane
and
faith
and
bonnie
and
nick
for
the
presentation.
I
think
it
was
really
really
detailed
and
informative,
and
I
excuse
me,
I
think
it
really
gives
us
a
sense
of
the
numbers
and
the
history
of
real
decisions
that
folks
sitting
in
our
our
very
seats
have
made
that
are
behind
the
story,
and
I
you
know
I
I
think
to
the
points
that
have
been
raised
about
resources
and
timelines.
K
I
think
those
are
absolutely
important
questions
to
ask.
I
think
those
are
those
are
exactly
the
things
that
we
need
to
be
talking
about,
so
that
we
are
being
clear
about
how
we're
taking
something
which
is
can
be
a
sort
of
really
big
and
nebulous
idea
and
turning
into
something
that's
actionable,
turning
it
into
something
that
we
know.
We
know
what
steps
we're
taking
to
address
these
things,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
councilmember
carter
for
taking
the
initiative
on
this
and
encouraging
the
conversation
you
know.
K
Yes,
racism
is
a
public
health
crisis
and
to
commit
to,
as
I
said,
actionable
steps
to
address
it,
and
I
think
what
we've
seen
clearly
is
that
we
not
only
know
now
but
have
known
for
quite
some
time
that
racism
does
impact
people's
health.
And
you
know
I
I
one
of
the
things
is
you
know.
Obviously,
I
and
others
have
had
a
lot
of
conversations
about
race,
particularly
over
the
last
few
months,
and
I
it's
been,
I
think,
sort
of
running
as
a
theme
to
other
comments
that
have
been
made
tonight.
K
K
You
know,
as
has
been
mentioned
tonight,
bloomington
is
only
becoming
more
diverse
and
we
simply
cannot
afford
to
ignore
these
roads
that
lead
back
to
racism.
That's
only
going
to
become
more
true
in
years
to
come,
and
I
I
think,
moving
forward
on
this
declaration,
which
I
obviously
do
support,
gives
us
the
intention.
K
J
J
I
see
these
impacts
within
housing
within
transportation,
within
jobs
within
education
within
most
areas
that
we
look
at
and
health
is
extraordinarily
important,
and
certainly
all
housing,
jobs,
education,
all
impact
health,
but
this
is
extraordinarily
broad
if
we
want
to
really
truly
take
it
on.
In
my
opinion-
and
I
personally
think
that
we
should-
and
we
should
do
everything
that
we
can
in
regards
to
the
conversational
adoption
resolution-
I
think
that
makes
sense.
J
I
completely
agree
that
we
have
to
go
beyond
that
to
commit
resources
to
it
and
look
at
areas
of
funding
education
opportunity.
I
think
there
are
people
that
can
help
us
with
this
within
there,
but
the
bottom
line
for
me
is:
I
want
to
see
results.
We
have
seen
for
be
honest
for
for
decades
within
this
area,
a
lot
of
conversation
about
equal
opportunity
about
progressive
movements
and
the
blunt
truth
is
bloomington
the
the
twin
cities.
The
this
area
has
fallen
way
behind.
J
We
have
extraordinary
health
disparities,
and
this
is
all
within
an
area
that
claims
to
really
hold
these
things
in
high
regard,
and
so
most
fundamental
thing
for
me
is:
I
want
the
ability
to
see
that
we're
moving
the
needle
that
we're
actually
making
progress
on
this,
and
we
have
an
open
mind
to
actual
solutions
that
will
help
people
get
ahead.
To
really
address
these
issues,
you
know
I
don't
have
any
preconceived
notion
of
what
those
solutions
are,
I'm
willing
to
and
excited
about,
having
a
conversation
with
our
community
about
that.
J
G
I
think
doing
so.
Is
it's
fundamental
for
the
relevancy
of
our
city
long
term?
We
can
do
all
the
commercial
mode
redevelopment
we
want.
We
can
invest
in
our
park
system
with
all
the
newest
most
relevant
equipment,
but
if
we
aren't
investing
in
our
residents
and
inviting
them
to
to
take
a
full
seat
at
the
table,
I'm
not
sure
what
the
point
of
the
rest
of
that
is.
G
So,
while
declaring
the
the
resolution
and
declaring
the
crisis,
I
think
is
the
first
step,
I
think,
drawing
that
line
in
the
sand
and
being
honest
about
it
is
a
pretty
important
deal.
I
guess
specifically
to
question
number
two.
I
do
echo
I
as
this
moves
forward.
I
would
love
to
see
more
specific
measure
measurements
around
how
we
are
going
to
look
at
progress
in
these
areas
and
hold
ourselves
accountable
and
allow
the
community
to
hold
us
accountable
and
to
the
mayor's
point
that
was
raised
earlier.
G
How
how
do
we
measure
our
success
in
this
area?
Considering
that
we're
one
city
embedded
in
a
very
big
country,
that's
reckoning
with
this
at
this
moment?
How
do
we
see
how
we're
moving
that
needle?
In
that
context,
and-
and
yes-
I
I
would
say
for
for
level
of
commitment-
I
would
say-
I'm
kind
of
between
options-
two
and
three
at
this
point
only
because
we
haven't
gotten
the
recommendations
back
from
the
budget
advisory
committee,
which
gives
us
a
good
idea
of
what
we
need
to
do
this
year.
G
I
know
other
council
members
have
brought
up.
Perhaps
it's
more
internal
and
setting
up
our
infrastructure
internally
for
this
year,
but
then,
if
this
recovery
is
going
to
take
a
while,
so
how
can
we
set
expectations
with
the
community
of
here's?
How
much
we're
able
to
dig
in
again
to
hold
ourselves
accountable,
but
yeah?
I?
Finally,
I
would
say
with
the
issue
of
timeline
for
this
work,
and
I've
raised
this
before
in
previous
meetings.
G
I
think
something
like
this
is:
is
a
perfect
venn
diagram
between
our
discussions,
like
health
and
all
policies
and
our
equity
and
inclusion
work,
and
I
think
we
can
flesh
out
a
lot
of
these
metrics
as
we
dive
into
our
next
strategic
planning
process,
and
I
think
that's
where
we
can
really
have
some
kind
of
nitty-grittier
discussions
about.
Where
do
those
overlap,
and
how
can
we
communicate
that
to
residents
more
broadly
so
that
they
can
measure
how
we're
stacking
up
on
that?
G
So
I
guess
it
don't
need
it
tonight,
because
I
know
staff
has
a
lot
of
huge
initiatives
on
their
plate,
but
just
kind
of
a
timeline
on.
When
are
we
going
to
take
a
look
at
revisiting
our
next
two
three
year?
Strategic
plan,
because
I
think
we're
going
to
move
forward
on
this
now,
the
public's
going
to
want
to
know
when
they're
going
to
hear
more
specifics
about
what
this
looks
like
over
the
next
few
years.
I
So,
just
as
quickly
as
I
can,
I
can't
support
this
until
I
know
what
the
resources
allocation
looks
like
I'd
like
to
see
that
discussion
take
place
before
any
declaration
of
this
resolution
takes
place.
I
think
the
devil
is
in
the
detail
and
I
need
to
know
what
those
details
are
going
to
be.
If
we're
going
to
make
a
commitment
around
this,
I
want
to
see
what
it
is
on
paper
and
I
want
to
be
clear
what
that
commitment
looks
like
if
we're
going
to
push
this
off.
I
That's
fine,
but
I
just
want
to
know
what
that
commitment
is
prior
to
us.
Moving
forward
with
this,
I
think
it's
a
you
know
in
concept
looks
good,
and
certainly
I
think
that
the
rest
of
the
council
is
interested
in
this,
and
I
certainly
have
an
interest
in
this,
but
I
want
to
just
be
sure
that
we're
talking
about
details
we're
talking
about
dollars
and
cents.
I
think
this.
A
I
do
hear
I
think,
six
folks
in
very
much
an
interest
of
adopting
the
resolution
or
adopting
a
real
resolution
and
moving
this
forward,
and
then
I
think
it's
back
to
staff
then
to
fill
in
the
rest
of
the
blanks
that
we
had
questioned
the
questions
two
through
four
try
and
give
some
more
information
the
levels
of
the
commitment,
what
it
would
be
from
a
dollar
standpoint,
what
it
might
mean
in
terms
of
existing
programming
from
year,
one
to
actual
expanding
program
and
year.
Two.
However,
we
wanna
set
it
up.
A
A
Thank
you,
staff,
good
presentation,
thank
you
to
council
good
discussion
and
with
that
we
will
move
on
and
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item,
which
is
a
consideration
of
amendments
to
rules
or
procedures,
something
we've
been
taking
on
taking
on
bits
and
pieces
over
the
past
few
meetings
to
try
and
get
through
these
we've
been
talking
about
these
for
a
while.
Now
and
oh
I'm
sorry
diane,
do
you
have
another
couple
of
slides
for
us
here
or.
M
A
A
B
P
So
at
your
august
third
meeting,
you
all
discuss
public
comment
and
that
is
being
teed
up
for
a
future
meeting.
That
is
category
c
of
the
discussion.
It's
at
the
last
section
of
of
the
request
for
council
action,
the
list
of
items
there.
There
are
several
there
and
if
you
recall,
I
attempted
to
group
them
together
based
on
topic
and
so
those
items
there
I
felt
were
similarly
related
to
each
other
and
could
be
discussed
at
the
same
time.
What
we're
talking
about
tonight
is
category
d
which
is
conduct.
P
So
I
just
want
to
remind
you
that
all
of
those
things
will
will
be
done.
So
I
know
that
there
are
things
that
need
to
be
cleaned
up
in
these
sections,
because
we
are
talking
from
the
december
2019
version
of
these
rules
and
those
very
introductory
edits
that
we
use
to
start
this
discussion.
So
I
just
want
you
all
to
know
that.
I
know
that
those
edits
need
to
be
made
yet,
and
so
I
won't
be
drawing
our
attention
to
those,
but
you
will
see
them
along
the
way.
A
P
P
All
right,
so,
as
you
recall,
I've
got
a
couple
of
different
versions
here
in
front
of
me.
So
if
there's
a
little
bit
of
paper
shuffling,
that's
what
that's
all
about.
So
with
regard
to
code
of
conduct,
it
talks
about
principles
that
govern
the
conduct
of
the
mayor
and
council
members
during
the
meeting
professional
and
personal
conduct.
P
No
changes
suggested
until
we
get
to
the
end
of
paragraph
1,
which
is
on
page
89
of
the
packet,
and
I
believe
that
this
was
a
suggestion,
a
clarifying
suggestion,
so
it
now
would
state.
Our
suggestion
would
be
that
it
would
state
members
should
refrain
from
abusive
conduct,
personal
charges
or
verbal
attacks
upon
the
character
models
of
other
members
of
the
council
boards
commissions
staff
by
the
public
intended
to
disrupt,
disturb,
impede
or
not
further,
the
orderly
conduct
of
the
city
business
there
have
been
some
there
has
been.
P
A
A
P
A
P
Yes,
I
get
your
point.
The
other
thing
I'll
point
out
is
that
I
remove
the
and
and
replaced
it
with
an
or
again
that's
lawyering,
but
I
didn't
want
there
to
be.
I
didn't
believe
that
the
intent
was
to
require
all
of
those
things
to
be
required,
but
rather
any
of
those
things,
so
just
a
minor
drafting
change.
Any
other
comments
on
paragraph
one
before
I
move
on
council.
L
A
L
P
Mayor
members,
it's
certainly
up
to
you
as
to
whether
you
want
to
make
this
change.
I
think
that
my
my
effort
here
was
an
effort
to
focus
on
the
disruption
or
the
impeding
of
the
orderly
business
and
and
not
just
that
people
are
being
disruptive
again.
It's
focusing
more
on
the
effect
of
the
conduct
as
opposed
to
what
the
conduct
could
be
perceived
as
being
one
person
finds
its
disruptive.
The
other
one
feels
its
important
contribution.
P
So
again,
it's
it's
a
suggested
edit
that
I
had
put
in
there
back
in
december.
I
can
certainly
get
back
you
know
and
refresh.
I
can
review
the
discussion
from
that
night
to
see
if
there
was
more
that
that
led
up
to
that.
But
it's
it's
my
recollection
that
what
I
described
was
the
reason
for
that
change.
L
Well,
mr
mayor,
the
reason
I
ask
is:
is
that
one
of
the
items
we
had
that
the
last
discussion
was
is
that
our
rules
and
procedure
are
quite
lengthy,
so
now
we're
adding
more
information
that
makes
them
longer
still
and
since
we
don't
have
the
history
of
this
as
an
issue,
I'm
still
asking
that
same
question
of
the
validity
of
putting
it
in
there.
I
heard
attorney
manage
I'd,
say
that
she
would
review
it,
and
I
will
let
her
do
that
and
ask
for
now.
P
F
A
Could
I
suggest,
as
as
councilmember
beloga
suggested
and
as
you
suggest,
maybe
looking
back
and
see
what
the
discussion
was
in
december
that
maybe
led
us
to
to
move
this
direction?
That's
the
trouble
with
trying
to
do
things.
Eight
months
later,
you
kind
of
forget
the
context
that
we
actually
talked
about.
I
understand
that,
but
if
you
could
do
that,
maybe
we
could
address
that
again
in
the
future
sure.
I
Thank
you
mayor,
so
just
another
thought
too,
as
you're
looking,
if
there's
a
way
that
robert
rules
of
order
handles
this,
that
may
be
another
way
out
of
placing
it
in
the
document
so
just
other
ways
of
just
trying
to
deal
with
this
conduct.
So
if
it's,
if
it's
in
rubber
rules,
why
don't
we
just
use
that
unless
we
need
to
have
it
explicit
here.
A
A
P
Paragraph
four,
this
relates
to
confidentiality
of
information,
relates
back
up
to
the
data
practices
act
as
well
as
attorney
client
privilege
and
stating
very
specifically
that
disclosing
confidential
or
otherwise
not
public
data
is
a
violation
of
the
rules
or
procedure
that
was
missing
in
the
document.
So
I
wanted
to
add
that.
P
All
right,
this
is
again
just
some
cleanup
related
to
roman
numerals
and
then
on
procedure.
Here,
moving
on
to
page
91
of
the
packet
and
page
17
of
the
rules
under
section
c
procedure,
the
first
paragraph
one,
it
came
to
our
attention
that
it
was
silent
as
to
what
should
happen
if
the
mayor
is
the
subject
of
the
requested
censure.
P
K
Thank
you
mayor.
One
thought
that
I
had
just
as
I
was
reading
through
this,
and
I
this
is
just
based
on
the
experience
that
we
had
towards
the
end
of
last
year
when,
when
this
happened,
I
wonder
if
it
might
be
worth
considering
having
the
rules
committee
appointed
just
sort
of
as
a
general,
a
general
rule
not
intended
just
because
it
would
seem
to
me
that
by
by
doing
so
it
it
eliminates
the
appearance
of
or
even
potential
actual
conflict
of
him
of
interest.
K
If
you
know,
if
a
less
scrupulous
mayor
for
example,
thinks
oh
I've
got
someone
raising
accenture
against
me,
I'm
going
to
make
sure
I
appoint
people
that
I
know
are
going
to
vote
a
certain
way
to
the
rules
committee.
I
think
that
that
could
be
an
issue.
So
I
my
I
wonder
if
it's
worth
just
stating
sort
of
at
the
beginning,
every
two
years
or
so
say
the
mayor
appoints
a
rules
committee
as
a
a
an
existing
body
to
sort
of
eliminate
that
that
appearance.
A
A
K
K
P
P
Back
several
months
ago,
we
had
discussed
whether
this
rules
committee's
tasks
should
include
a
periodic
review
of
the
rules
of
procedure
like
we're
doing
now
in
making
recommendations
periodically,
and
my
notes
indicate
that
we
just
needed
to
decide
that
we
haven't
yet
made
that
decision.
There
were
various
opinions
about
it
at
the
time
there
was
a
desire
to
have
a
committee
of
the
whole
discussion,
I
believe
back
in
december
and
not
have
a
rules
committee
make
be
the
only
one
reviewing
it,
but
rather
it
be
a
committee
of
the
whole
discussion.
P
A
I
think
we
lost
her
so
council.
Maybe
we
could
have
that
discussion.
I
think
we
have
an
idea
of
what
she
was
saying
do
should
it
be
the
committee
of
a
whole
or
a
pre-appointed
rules
committee
to
look
at
the
the
rules
or
procedures
we're
doing
right
now,
thoughts
on
that
council,
member
lowman
and
councilmember
nelson.
I
J
Thank
you
mayor.
I
think,
with
regards
to
looking
at
the
rules
and
making
modifications
as
we
go
forward,
a
community
of
the
whole
makes
sense.
I
think,
in
terms
of
having
a
rules
committee
for
this
other
issue.
If
there's
a
censure
or
something
like
that,
my
preference
would
be
that
it's
not
based
on
the
people,
but
if
there
was
some
language
that
just
defined
it
based
on
you
know
one
of
the
at-large
members,
two
of
the
district
members
on
a
rotating
basis.
J
I
don't
know
if
it's
just
the
most
recently
elected
or
the
most
formally
elected,
or
something
like
that,
so
there
isn't
any
choice
in
who
those
people
it's
just
as
best
we
can,
with
seven
people
random
and
just
to
find
who's
on
that
committee
and
let
it
go
with
that
and
that
those
are
the
people
on
it.
Certainly,
it
doesn't
seem
like
a
burdensome
time
commitment,
given
everything
else
kind.
A
P
A
So,
council,
member
nelson
suggested,
rather
than
specifically
naming
a
rules
committee
that
somehow
we
have
a
numeric
requirement,
for
example,
most
recently
elected
at-large
member
and
then
two
of
the
four
district
members
just
on
the
numbers
without
specifying
names.
So
we
don't
have
to
get
into
specific
appointments.
I
I
don't
know
if
you
can
be
creative
in
some
way
to
come
up
with
a
random
rotating
appointment
process
like
that,
but
that
might
be
a
good
way
to
go
as
well.
So
there's
something
to
think
about
there
as
well.
A
P
Okay,
thank
you
moving
on
to
this
next
part
of
the
discussion
in
the
procedure.
It
is
very
basic,
edits,
related
to
gender
and,
discussing
the
you
know
the
name
of
the
meeting.
It's
there
isn't
anything
technical
or
substantive
in
the
additional
comments.
Just
all
clarifying
in
that
section,
any
anything
else
that
people
would
like
to
discuss
related
to
that.
The
balance
of
the
section.
A
P
A
B
P
K
P
Mayor
members,
I
haven't
done
an
exhaustive
search
on
on
that
question.
I
will
note
that
it
says
unanimous
consent
of
the
of
the
council
members
present,
which
is
a
little
bit
lower
of
a
requirement
in
that
it
isn't
all
of
them
in
total,
so
it
would
just
be
those
present,
so
it
wouldn't
necessarily
have
to
be
unanimous
of
the
body,
but
I
think
that
it
signals
that
the
the
previous
councils,
when
they
pulled
together
these
rules,
took
it
very
seriously
and
they
wanted
any
sort
of
a
waiver
of
the
rules
to
be.
K
P
This
is
language
that
relates
to
when
a
council
member
wants
to
communicate
with
the
other
six
members
of
the
council.
You
know,
as
you
recall,
based
on
the
open
meeting
law.
It's
not
possible
or
it's
a
you
know.
It's
not
recommended
that
you
all
communicate
or
apply
all,
and
so
the
language
and
the
rules
or
procedure
require
that
when
you
want
to
send
something
to
the
balance
of
the
members
that
you
do
so
through
a
staff
member
and
here
we're
stating
that
it
would
be
the
city
manager
or
the
city
manager's
designee.
L
L
A
O
Mr
mayor
and
council
members,
maybe
the
city
attorney
can
opine
on
this
as
well,
but
my
recollection
is:
there
are
other
places
where
city
manager
or
managers
designee
is
sort
of
the
official
language
that
is
utilized
for
these
types
of
things,
so
I
think
it
would
just
be
following
form
with
how
it
is
in
other
places.
I
don't
know
if
mrs
manderscheid
has
additional
information
on
that.
Ms.
P
P
A
A
I
I
don't
know
how
you
would
write
this
in
such
a
way
that
I
mean,
if
you
put
the
specific
name
of
the
you
know
the
title
of
the
person
that
we
place
in
there
and
you
don't
place
the
city
manager
in
there
and
then
the
city
manager
wants
to
talk.
Does
that
does
that
violate
the
rule?
I
guess
that's
what
I'm
having
that's
understanding,
what
what
you're
specifically
trying
to
do?
I
don't
know
what,
if
you
use
city
manager
or
city
manager,
designee
is
the
issue
that
you
want
to
have
someone
specific.
A
Understood
I
do
think
just
from
a
best
practice
standpoint.
I
I
think
one
council
member
forwarding
something
out
of
the
other
six
is
bad
practice
just
because
it
of
the
of
the
issues
that
it
could
open
up
in
terms
of
open
meeting
law
or
perceived
open
meeting
law
violations.
But
I
I
see
what
you're
saying
I
I
just
I
don't
know
ms
manderscheid
any
thoughts
on
that
in
terms
of
best
practice
or
or
just
general
rules
of
thumb
when
emailing
items
from
one
council
member
to
the
other,
six.
P
Mayor
members,
I'm
comfortable
with
the
language,
as
is,
I
think
that
it
gives
the
most
flexibility.
That
said,
if,
if
you
would
like
me
to
draft
an
alternative
for
you
all
to
look
at
again,
I
can
certainly
do
that
off
the
top
of
my
head.
I
can
suggest-
maybe
it
would
say-
city,
council,
secretary
or
city
manager
or
designee
as
appropriate
as
deemed
appropriate
or
something
that
would
give
you
all
more
comfort
with
specificity,
but
also
give
enough
options
for
the
reality
of
the
workplace.
O
I
think
we're
also
looking
at
not
just
study
sessions
but
our
regular
meetings
if
they
seem
to
be
a
little
bit
light
on
other
agenda
items
to
include
these
kind
of
discussions
as
part
of
organizational
business
so
that
we
don't
have
to
wait
to
do
this
just
once
every
month
or
so,
and
then,
if
we
suddenly
get
busy
it
gets
kicked.
So
if
that's
okay
with
council,
we'll
look
for
additional
opportunities
to
add
it
to
regular
meeting
agendas
and
not
just
study
sessions.
P
Mayor,
if
I
may,
I
obviously
I
listened
to
the
meeting
that
I
was
on
vacation
for
for
your
discussion
about
public
comment.
I
have
a.
I
have
some
guidance
from
that.
I'm
curious,
though
I
heard
one
reference
of
egan.
Are
there
other
cities
that
people
would
like
me
to
do
some
further
research
on
or
communities
that
they're
particularly
interested
in
knowing
how
they
operate
public
comment
that
I
should
make
sure
that
I
get
copies
of.
I
have
a
couple.
A
And-
and
I
appreciate
that
ms
mander's
head-
I
was
the
one
who
brought
up
eagan
and
I
think
I
was
kind
of
the
lone
wolf
in
in
referencing
the
eagan
model
as
a
possible
model
that
we
wanted
to
follow
and
other
council
members
were
not
interested
in
going
down
that
path.
So
I
would
say,
even
if
you
do
collect
information
on
that,
don't
go
overboard,
just
something
kind
of
a
a
brief
summary
of
what
they
do
just
so
we
understand
and
know
what
they
do.
H
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
guess
for
me
you
know
I
think
eagan
was
brought
up
as
an
example,
but
I
guess
I
mean
for
me
personally.
I
just
don't
know
what
all
of
the
options
are
in
terms
of
what
cities
are
doing,
the
various
approaches
that
they're
taking,
and
so
it's
not
that
there's
necessarily
a
specific
city
that
I've
been
thinking
about.
It's
more
of
you
know
what
kind
of
what's
our
menu
of
options,
as
we
think
about
wanting
to
do
things
differently
and
and
better
meet
the
needs
of
you
know.
P
Mayor
members,
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
and-
and
it
doesn't
need
to
happen
tonight-
because
I
want
to
be
mindful
of
the
hour,
but
it
would
be
helpful
for
me
to
have
greater
clarity
on
what
the
council
members
feel
is
the
purpose
of
public
comment.
There
are
a
wide
variety
of
of
purposes
that
people
use
it
for
some
of
which
are
many
of
which
you
talked
about
during
the
meeting
on
august
3rd,
but
I'd
be
interested
in
in
learning
from
the
council.
P
What
sort
of
objectives
it
wants
the
public
comment
period
to
achieve,
and
that
will
help
guide
our
structure
of
it
as
well
as
placement
on
the
agenda.
You
know
some
of
the
guide
posts
on
it
again
reminding
council
members
that
the
law
only
requires
us
to
regulate
the
time,
place
and
manner
of
of
of
the
public
comment
period.
P
P
But
if,
in
the
interim
you
come
across
something
or
hear
of
something
through
your
various
municipal,
local
government
worlds
by
all
means,
certainly
give
the
city
manager
or
me
a
heads
up,
so
we
can
make
sure
to
track
that
down,
in
particular,
if
it's
working,
really
well
or
or
not,
working
well
from
a
particular
person's
opinion.
That
way
we
can,
you
know,
learn
and
try
to
come
up
with
some
best
practices.
I
will
say
that
I
dedicated
a
fair
amount
of
time
in
2019.
P
A
J
A
O
I
had
provided
to
the
council
earlier
responding
to
requests
from
resident
about
rank,
choice,
voting
and
the
mechanics
of
how
our
cv
would
work
and
if
it
was
going
to
be
detailed
before
the
the
general
election
balloting
process
and
as
I
laid
out
in
the
information
to
council,
I
think
it's
also
good
to
share
with
the
community
that
the
process
for
crafting
the
ordinance
the
the
timeline
to
do
that
would
not
be
achievable
before
voting
is
to
begin
for.
The
general
election.
O
It
isn't
possible
to
work
through
the
process
of
getting
the
council
to
respond
to
the
various
policy
issues
and
then
to
craft
that
into
an
ordinance
language,
for
consideration,
go
through
the
public
hearing
process
with
notification,
and
all
of
that,
and-
and
that's
not
even
mentioning
that
we're
in
the
midst
of
election
preparation
right
now,
and
we
really
need
the
expertise
of
our
election
staff
to
help
guide
this.
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
we
responded
out
loud
though
so
the
community
members
understand
that
the
process
wants
the
the
election
is
done.
O
O
The
process
for
rank
choice
voting
here
in
bloomington,
because
it
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
be
the
same
as
it
is
in
other
communities,
and
we
can
still
do
that
very
early
in
2021
with
more
than
enough
lead
time
before
the
election
to
have
those
details
in
place.
The
mechanics,
I
don't
think
necessarily.
O
B
Pass
would
be
done
by
ordinance
and
therefore
there
would
be
a
public
hearing
on
that
ordinance,
so
an
opportunity
in
early
2021
for
any
resident
who
desired
to
weigh
in
on
the
administrative
detail
that
needs
to
be
decided
in
order
to
carry
it
out.
So
there
would
be
a
public
input
process
even
after
the
ballot
question.
A
Very
good,
and-
and
I
would
even
say
if
I
mean
if,
if
the
mechanics
or
the
administrative
detail
of
rank
choice,
voting
do
in
fact
do
influence
your
decision,
whether
or
not
to
support
or
not
support,
rank
choice.
Voting,
I
think,
that's
entirely
up
to
you
and
if
that's
one
of
the
things
that
goes
into
your
decision,
whether
or
not
to
support
it
or
not,
support
it,
that's
perfectly
understandable.
A
So,
but
that's
the
kind
of
the
reality
of
where
we
are
in
terms
of
timing
in
terms
of
staffing,
in
terms
of
how
this
is
all
kind
of
playing
out
and
understand,
people's
desire
to
have
all
the
specifics
and
all
the
details,
but
unfortunately
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
have
that,
because
we
do
need
the
time
to
put
it
together
and
ultimately,
we'll
have
a
public
hearing
on
it
in
any
way,
one
way
or
the
other.
So.
K
K
What
I
took
from
that
is
that
it's
it's
less
about
what
information
is
out
there
than
it
is
about
how
easily
it
is
for
folks
to
get
to
it,
and
so
I
you
know
one
of
the
thoughts
that
that
I
have
had
and
I
basis
on
again
on
my
day
job
I
mentioned
this
at
one
point
to
staff
several
months
ago
is
even
just
simple
things
like
written
out
social
media
posts
that
detail
the
agendas.
So,
for
example,
you
know
earlier
today,
through
the
city
facebook
page,
you
could
have
easily
just
listed
said.
K
Just
another
way
of
you
know:
hey
folks,
here's
what's
going
down
tonight
at
the
council
meeting,
if
you
have
any
questions,
get
in
touch
with
the
council
members,
so
just
something
I
wanted
to
put
out
there
and
then
the
the
second
thing
that
I
wanted
to
bring
up.
I
guess
I
would
say
is
more
of
a
question
for
the
council.
K
You
know
I
I
am
grateful
that
we
have
dr
kelly
every
meeting
laying
out
the
the
latest
information
about
covet
and
and
the
sort
of
public
health
specifics
of.
What's
what's
happened
in
our
community.
Thus
far,
my
question
is
or
the
rest
of
my
colleagues.
What
do
we
feel
there
is
continued
utility
in
getting
that
information
in
that
way,
do
we
I
mean?
K
Do
we
think
this
is
something
and
I
I
don't
personally
feel
strongly
one
way
or
the
other,
but
do
we
think
this
is
something
that
needs
to
continue
happening
at
the
beginning
of
every
council
meeting
at
every
council
meeting
at
all.
You
know
what
is:
is
this
something
we
we
feel
we
should
continue
as
it
has
been,
because
I
think
you
know
we
we,
as
we
think
about
the
length
of
our
meetings,
while
the
information
is
good
and
and
helpful.
K
A
I'll
just
say
the
the
reason
dr
kelly
appears
before
at
the
start
of
each
of
our
meetings
is
because
we
asked
him
to
that.
I
mean
the
council
made
that
specific
request
back
in
mid-march,
that
we
wanted
an
update
before
all
of
our
public
meetings,
and
so
I
think,
if,
if
there
is
the
desire
to
make
that
a
monthly
update
or
just
a
written
update,
we
could
certainly
do
that
as
well
either
or
I
mean
I
think,
there's
some
use
to
it.
A
It
also
keeps
it
front
and
center
it
doesn't
let
it
slip
into
the
background
where
it
has,
I
think,
in
a
number
of
different
places
in
in
public
life,
and
so
I
I
think
it's
worth
to
keep
but
would
be
open
to.
As
I
said,
if
we
wanted
to
do
a
monthly,
the
first
meeting
of
the
month
to
have
an
update,
we
could
do
it
that
way
as
well.

L
A
How
about
if
we
just
with
knotting
approval
one
way
or
another,
would
we
be
okay?
If
the
first
meeting
of
each
month,
we
have
dr
kellyanne
to
give
us
an
update
and
we
get
an
update
and
otherwise
refer
to
the
counselor
and
refer
to
the
to
the
website
to
get
the
information
we
need.
Okay,
why
don't
we
plan
on
that
and
I'm
sure
nick
wouldn't
mind
us
monday
evenings,
freeing
up
like
that.
So,
okay,
very
good.
We
will
do
that
council,
any
other
business
to
bring
forward
this
evening,
seeing
none.

Thank
you
all
very
much,
also
a
big
thank
you
to
staff
good
job
again
tonight
with
presentations
on
the
park
and
wreck
master
plan
and
with
racial
race
as
a
as
a
public
health
crisis.
I
appreciate
that
appreciate
the
discussion
we
had
around
that
and
with
that
we
stand
adjourned.
Thank
you
all
very
much
great.
