Description
Bloomington Minnesota City Council Meeting
A
A
A
C
A
Nothing
from
councilmember
he
is
present.
The
records
show
we
officially
visually,
have
seven
members
of
the
bloomington
city
council
in
attendance
this
evening
we're
having
some
audio
issues,
I
think,
with
council,
member
nelson
and
possibly
council
member
bologna
as
well
jack.
Can
you
hear
me
now
thank.
A
A
Okay,
all
right
we'll
see
if
he
comes
back
next
order
on
our
order
of
business
on
our
agenda
is
the
approval
of
the
agenda
and
we've
got
a
rather
short
agenda
again
this
evening.
I
do
want
to
point
out
one
thing
to
folks
who
are
watching
item
7,
one
which
is
a
public
hearing
and
it's
an
ordinance
authorizing
issuance
and
sale
of
a
geo
public
pir
bond
2021
series
55.
A
That
is
a
timed
item
and
it's
one
we'll
take
up
actually
right
after
the
public
comment
period,
so
right
after
4.2,
even
though
it's
numbered
7.1.
So
just
as
a
as
of
a
clarification
for
anybody
watching
or
wondering
about
our
agenda
council,
do
we
have
any
additions
or
or
other
corrections
or
anything
else
to
add
to
the
agenda
tonight.
E
A
A
Motion
carries
6-0.
We
have
an
agenda
we'll
move
on
to
item
four
on
our
agenda,
which
is
our
public
comment
period.
It's
a
20-minute
period
at
each
city
council
meeting
where
we
allow
folks
to
come
forward
and
address
the
council
on
items
not
on
tonight's
agenda
for
up
to
five
minutes,
break
it
down
into
two
parts:
item
4.1,
which
is
a
response
to
the
prior
meetings.
Public
comments
and
item
4.2,
which
is
the
public
comment
period
itself.
We
will
start
with
item
4.1,
mr
fabregi.
Thank
you,
mr.
A
Very
good,
we'll
move
on
to
item
4.2,
which
is
our
public
comment
period.
As
I
said,
20
minutes,
we
limit
each
individual
to
five
minutes
not
to
to
cut
them
off
in
any
way,
but
to
make
sure
that
everybody
has
the
same
and
equal
opportunity
to
address
the
council.
It
counsels
from
the
quest
questions
from
the
council
will
be
for
clarification
only
and
it's
not
as
a
time
for
back
and
forth,
but
rather
rather
for
an
opportunity
for
residents
to
bring
forward
items
to
the
city
council.
G
I
documented
it
because
the
grandchildren
did
not
go
on
the
playground
equipment
like
they
usually
do.
Instead,
the
children
stay
close
to
me
back
by
the
bench.
I
then,
with
my
phone,
scan
the
playground
once
to
document
it.
I
think
the
grandchildren
know
it
is
not
safe
and
I
feel
that
encouraging
them
onto
a
playground
where
school
is
using.
It
would
be
like
encouraging
someone
to
drive
a
scooter
on
the
freeway.
G
The
person
who
inaccurately
called
the
police
on
me
in
2018
approaches
me
says:
will
you
please
not
take
pictures
of
our
kids
and
asks?
Why
do
you
come
specifically
at
this
time
when
we
use
it
only
a
few
minutes,
a
person
from
a
private
business
who
should
have
their
own
playground
asked
me
why
I
came
to
the
park
at
that
time.
G
That
should
not
happen.
This
person
also
inaccurately
stated
that
they
use
it
for
only
a
few
minutes
later,
an
officer
approaches
me
and
says
he
got
a
call
because
I
was
taking
pictures
of
students.
The
person
from
the
school
called
the
police
on
me
in
2018
is
the
person
who
called
the
police
on
me.
Again,
I
told
the
officer
I
took
a
video
again.
G
I
took
one
six
second
video
last
year:
2018
I
did
not
videotape
them
and
I
did
not
and
have
not
ever
had
a
camera
attached
to
my
shirt
and
on
this
morning
august
26th,
I
was
not
taking
pictures
of
students.
I
took
one
six
second
video.
I
told
the
officer
that
I
wanted
a
record
of
it.
The
mayor
gave
our
public
park
to
a
private
business,
and
so
I'm
recording
it.
The
officer
stepped
away
from
me
and
went
to
talk
with
others.
G
I
could
hear
what
they
were
saying.
I
overheard
the
police
say
something
like
she
knows
all
the
rules,
and
at
least
you
know
we
are
here
and
there
are
ways
around
it
and
you
are
right.
I
will
call
and
what
I
recommend
I
requested
data,
to
confirm
what
I
heard.
Unfortunately,
the
city
reply
included
any
body
camera
footage
of
your
conversation
with
officers
no
longer
exist
and
for
body
camera
footage
of
any
other
subjects
per
minnesota
statute.
The
data
you
are
requesting
is
private
and
cannot
be
released.
G
I
did
get
a
copy
of
the
police
summary
report
and
the
inaccurate
statement
includes
taking
pictures
of
students
at
the
playground,
teachers,
family
and
students
feel
unsafe.
Again,
I
took
one
six
second
video.
The
short
video
clip
does
not
support
the
statement.
Teachers,
family
and
students
feel
unsafe.
The
video
does
not
show
anyone
afraid
the
video
shows
children
playing
and
only
one
adult
off
in
the
distance
that
might
have
seen
me
with
my
phone
out
to
be
clear.
The
students
were
playing
and
the
video
does
not
show
any
student
afraid.
G
Once
again,
the
data
does
not
support
what
was
reported
to
police.
The
report
from
2018
is
inaccurate,
stating
children
were
recorded
when
they
were
not,
and
the
report
from
2019
is
inaccurate,
stating
taking
pictures
of
students
when
it
was
one
video
that
was
six
seconds,
and
it
is
a
video
that
does
not
support
the
statement.
Students
feel
unsafe.
Thank
you.
A
A
B
One
candidate
seems
to
not
have
a
video
about
their
whole
agenda.
They
want
to
put
on
bloomington
city
council
and
that
particular
candidate
has
doxed.
My
friends
made
made
it
kind
of
embarrassing
to
be
in
bloomington
and
feeling
unsafe,
and
I
just
want
to
say,
y'all,
better
research,
your
candidates
would
you
rather
have
a
leader
or
a
hero
of
doing
nothing
like
this
particular
candidate
does,
and
I
don't
feel
that
this
particular
person
is
discriminated
against,
but
has
discriminated
before
and
will
continue
to
do
that
now.
B
A
A
B
You
if
I
could
just
a
quick
question
of
clarification
regarding
one
of
the
comments
that
was
just
made,
the
commenter
referred
to
smith
park
and
the
the
school
using
the
park
was
success,
academy
and
and
just
to
clarify.
Maybe
staff
can
answer
this.
For
me,
success
academy
is
a
charter
school.
Am
I
correct
in
that
understanding.
B
A
H
H
So
one
of
the
slides
that
you've
seen
repeatedly
that
we
do
like
to
reflect
on
our
transparency
and
our
just
our
financial
stability
is
our
three
triple
a's.
We
will
be
going
out
into
the
markets
with
moody's.
Our
call
with
them
is
next
wednesday
and
then,
with
snp
and
fitch,
is
next
friday
and
then
the
following
week.
They
will
be
going
to
their
credit
committees
so
somewhere
between
the
13th
and
the
20th.
H
H
H
A
A
A
A
I
A
E
C
A
Second,
we
have
a
motion
by
council
member
beluga
seconded
by
council
member
coulter
to
adopt
the
ordinance
authorizing
the
issuance
of
five
million
four
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
dollars
general
obligation,
permanent
improvement,
revolving
fund
bonds
series
55.,
no
further
council
questions
on
this.
Mr
billard.
A
A
A
A
We
will
move
on
doubling
back
actually
to
item
5,
our
introductory
items,
and
this
item
is
item
5.1,
introduction
of
new
employees,
something
we've
been
doing
over
the
past
few
meetings
trying
to
get
caught
up
and
to
meet
many
of
the
employees
that
have
been
hired
over
the
past
18
months
that
we
haven't
had
a
chance
to
say
hello
to
yet
and
we're
working
our
way
through
it
and
right
now
we're
in
community
services.
So
our
community
services
director
diane
kirby,
is
here
good
evening
and
welcome.
J
Good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council,
it
is
my
pleasure
to
introduce
five
new
employees
in
the
community
services
department
and
we're
going
to
start
first
with
our
communications
division.
Our
first
employee
that
I'd
like
to
introduce
you
to
is
ari
mendoza
ari
mendoza
became
our
video
production
specialist
for
bloomington
community
access.
Television
recently
aria
got
his
start
in
television
production
in
mexico,
working
as
a
video
editor
in
the
news
department
at
televisa
mexico.
For
more
than
four
years
after
moving
to
the
united
states,
he
became
a
volunteer
producer
at
bcat,
where
he
produced
his
award-winning.
J
I
I
Am
so
happy
to
be
here
at
beacon,
and
I
have
the
opportunity
to
work
for
the
city
for
almost
two
years,
and
I
appreciate
the
trust
and
especially
all
the
teaching
that
my
supervisors
towards
me
and
the
staff
is
very
friendly
and
I,
like
being
part
of
because
16
now
as
a
video
specialist
and
I
like
I
like,
b
cat-
and
I
like
the
family
like
the
community.
Also
that
we
have
here
is
great
too.
J
All
right
we're
going
to
move
on
to
our
public
health
division.
Now,
where
we
have
four
new
public
health
nurses.
Now
to
start
introducing
our
newest
public
health
nurses.
We
have
laura
van
luven
joining
us
and
I
am
pleased
to
say
that
laura
was
promoted
to
public
health
nurse
supervisor
back
in
march,
so
laura.
If
you
could
introduce
your
employees
now.
K
Yep
I
have
on
my
team
I'll
be
introducing
aaron
irvig,
who
started
with
us
in
may,
and
I
just
wanted
to
mention
too
that
aaron
just
recently
returned
from
national
guard
training,
where
she
was
just
promoted
to
foreign
officer.
Is
that
correct
and
and
sophia
hassan
who
comes
to
us
from
the
school
district
and
she
started
with
us
in
march?.
C
J
J
L
L
She
had
to
be
somewhere
else
tonight,
but
she
has
been
an
employee
with
the
city
for
20
years,
so
she
oversees
the
long-term,
evidence-based
home
visiting
program,
healthy
families,
america,
and
we
have
two
new
nurses
who
joined
us
this
year.
We
have
af
sala,
she
is
somewhere.
You
got
your
camera
enough
off.
I
don't
know
she
joined
us
in
january
and
I'm
going
to
let
her
tell
you
just
briefly
where
she
came
from
why
she
came
to
public
health
and
then,
if
she
has
a
favorite
memory.
L
So
far
since
working
since
january,
it's
been
busy
and
then
I
would
like
to
introduce
camille
summers
who
also
joined
us
in
march
and
also
joined
us
in
the
long
term
home
visiting
program
and
the
one
thing
I
got
to
say
they
both
arrived
and
I
think
all
four
of
these
nurses
arrived
and
within
two
to
three
days
of
orientation.
They
were
giving
covid
vaccine
shots.
So
it's
been
a
whirlwind
of
an
orientation,
so
let's
see
there
you
are
you're
in
your
car.
It
looks
like
so
if
you
could
say
hello.
M
L
A
K
And
the
reason
why
I
got
into
public
health
nursing,
I
had
an
interest
in
it
and
then
I
also
had
been
doing
home
visits
with
renal
patients,
and
I
thought
this
would
be
a
good,
a
good
next
step
for
me
and
the
favorite
memory
that
I
have
so
far.
I'm
just
working
with
clients
has
really
been
rewarding
new
mothers.
I
was
a
new
mother.
L
L
M
I've
honestly,
this
opportunity
has
opened
my
eyes
to
so
many
things,
I've
that
I
haven't
seen
working
in
the
hospital
working
on
the
other
end,
so
I
made
the
right
choice.
I
truly
do
appreciate
this
work.
I
absolutely
love
it,
and
a
memorable
experience
for
me
was
molly
mentioned
was
the
beginning
of
it
all.
When
I
first
started
we
did.
J
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
say
one
thing
about
these
public
health
nurses.
This
group,
as
well
as
the
rest
of
our
public
health
nurse
staff,
have
been
very,
very
dedicated,
devoted
to
making
sure
our
families
and
residents
stay
healthy
and
safe
throughout
the
pandemic.
I've
been
putting
in
a
lot
of
hard
work,
and
I
just
want
to
say
I
very
very
much
appreciate
everything
that
they
have
been
doing
during
the
last
year
and
a
half.
Thank
you.
A
Absolutely-
and
I
would
I
would
echo
that
completely-
I
know
the
incredibly
hard
work
that
everyone
in
public
health
has
been
doing,
and
certainly
our
public
health
nurses
and
to
to
jump
right
in
as
soon
as
you
started
and
and
to
do
the
the
covet
vaccinations
and
and
all
the
work
that
has
gone
into
that
and
for
such
a
long
time.
I
know
it's
been
a
consistent
and
a
long
and
a
challenging
time.
So
thank
you,
sophia,
aaron
and
camille.
Thank
you
for
your
work
in
our
public
health
department.
A
Ari,
thank
you
for
your
work
in
our
communications
department,
and
we
know
the
excellence
that
we
see
out
of
the
communications
department
every
day
every
month
and
looking
forward
to
it
continuing
and
looking
forward
to
seeing
your
work
as
it
comes
out
of
this.
So
thank
you
all
very
much
welcome
to
the
city
of
bloomington
glad
to
have
you
here
and
again
can't
wait
to
meet
everybody
face
to
face
very
soon
and
face
to
face
without
masks
on
hopefully
very
soon.
But
thank
you
all
so
very
much.
A
A
D
A
Hi
motion
carries
seven
zero
up
to
item
eight
on
our
agenda.
Organizational
business
and
item
8.1
is
an
update
on
our
2020
census
results
and
I
know
the
senseless
results
have
been
in
for
a
while
and
but
there's
a
lot
of
data
there
and
a
lot
of
information.
I
think,
to
digest,
at
the
municipal
level
to
really
get
your
arms
around
exactly
what
it
all
says
and
what
it
all
means,
and
so
mike
palermo
from
our
planning
department,
is
going
to
lead
us
through
exactly
what
we're
seeing
here
in
the
city
of
bloomington.
A
C
N
K
N
Oh
yeah,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Thank
you,
council
members,
I'm
here
to
present
an
update
on
with
the
census.
2020..
As
you
are
probably
aware
of,
we've
been,
the
census
has
released
their
redistricting
data
and
america
census
data.
With
you.
The
last
few
years
we've
been
using
american
community
survey
data
those
come
out
in
one
year,
estimates
and
five-year
estimates.
You
typically
use
the
five-year
estimates
because
it's
moved
things
over
statistically
a
little
bit
better,
but
those
one-year
estimates
kind
of
catch
those
larger
changes,
but
it
can
be
a
little
bit
more
volatile.
N
N
This
gets
into
age,
race,
ethnicity,
sex,
rents
versus
owner,
family
and
relationship
among
people
living
together.
So
it
gets
a
little
bit
more
detailed
than
when
we're
giving
the
redistricting
data
and,
what's
really
important
with
that,
is
we
get
cross
tabulations?
So
we
can
get
race
by
ownership
or
the
detailed
age
gives
us
if
they're
school
age
or
not.
You
know
you
get
into
more
of
those
details
that
are
used
for
our
analysis
purposes,
but
we
still
can
glean
some
information
from
the
logistic
information.
N
N
Our
households
were
just
under
that
90
000
total
population,
our
households
increased
at
a
rate
of
6.1,
so
a
little
bit
less
and
you
see
that
household
growth
is
a
little
bit
less
because
our
household
size
grew.
This
was
something
that
was
a
little
bit
surprising,
we've
seen
from
1990,
just
a
continual
decrease
in
our
household
size,
but
now
there's
a
suggestion
that
our
household
size
will
increase
moving
forward.
N
N
One
thing
to
note
is
that
our
our
percentage
of
under
18
has
held
steady.
It's
about
19
that
didn't
really
shift
a
whole
lot,
so
I
want
to
just
broaden
this
out
a
little
bit
longer
over
time,
so
this
shows
from
1990
2000,
2010
and
2020
to
show
us
just
where
we've
seen
those
changes.
So
in
1990
we
were
almost
95
white
non-latinx
population,
so
you
can
see
over
the
last
30
years.
It's
just
steady
decline,
and
this
is
following
national
and
regional
trends.
It's
not
surprising!
N
We've
seen
that
that
growth
in
our
bipock
population,
this
really
hits
home.
Why
we're
doing
our
racial
equity
work?
Because
it's
going
to
be
more
and
more
part
of
our
population
here
in
bloomington,
you
can
see
our
household
size
was
2.47,
I
think
in
the
70s.
It
was
above
three,
so
that
really
has
impacted
our
our
total
population.
You
see
it
decreases
and
that
so
we
have
maybe
more
households
but
smaller
household
sizes,
and
that
decreases
our
population.
N
N
Number
lake
had
about
37,
whereas
penn
american
had
about
13
of
those
new
units
and
south
loop
had
about
23.
So
this
is
what
we
were
expecting.
This
is
what
we
forecasted
in
our
2008
comp
plan
and
what
we're
forecasting
our
updated
forward
2040
plan
is
that
our
growth
will
continue
to
be
in
these
development
districts
and
along
the
494
corridor.
N
What's
interesting,
to
note
is
that
this
is
2020,
so
we
know
that
there
are
units
that
have
come
online
since
these
were
taken
in
2020,
and
we
know
there
are
units
that
are
going
to
come
online
in
the
near
future,
such
as
glendale
flats.
You
can
see
on
the
window
corridor,
it
actually
lost
some
units.
I
think
that
was
the
mobile
home
park
that
was
there,
but
now
we're
gaining
units
and,
as
with
our
lindell
plan,
we
expect
to
gain
more
units
in
that
area.
N
N
But
our
percent
and
change
in
population
under
18
we're
growing
quite
a
bit
in
some
areas,
especially
in
eastern
bloomington
and
western
bloomington,
the
middle
of
the
city.
So
it
has
some
areas
where
we've
had
some
loss
in
our
population
under
18..
So
this
is
where
it
will
be
interesting
to
see
where
that
family
breaks
down
and
what
the
ages
are
and
see
kind
of
that
cross
tabulation
next
summer.
Something
we'll
keep
our
eye
on.
N
Our
pop
people
increase
in
population
of
our
by
population.
You
can
see
down
here
nearly
500
residents,
but,
interestingly
enough
in
our
northeast
corner,
just
well.
It's
only
34
increase
and
total.
It
was
the
largest
increase
we
saw
in
our
buy
population,
nearly
900
people.
So
while
it's
not
the
biggest
percentage,
it's
raw
total,
it
was
the
largest.
So
it's
an
interesting
dynamic.
N
N
So
this
is
something
that
we'll
be
looking
at
in
the
future.
As
we
start,
these
registering
efforts
making
sure
to
equalize
them
a
little
bit
more
where
those
boundaries
are,
and
also
just
to
keep
in
mind
where
that
growth
is
happening.
Like
I
said,
we
didn't
capture
all
the
units
in
the
2020
census,
because
it's
a
snapshot
in
time,
2021
2022
we've
got
units
already
in
the
pipeline
and
we're
projecting
even
more
after
that,
so
making
sure
that
we're
accommodating
that
growth
area
is
also
part
of
that
redistricting
in
the
future.

All
right,
thank
you.
I
I
think,
as
council
member
culture
requested,
it
might
might
be
hopeful
to
have
that
discussion
as
we
move
forward
in
this
process
to
to
figure
out
or
to
learn
a
bit
more
about
the
the
precinct
lines
that
need
to
be
redrawn,
if
need
be
at
the
state
level,
and
then
how
that
all
works
with
the
work
that
we're
doing
to
redraw
our
council
districts
as
well.
A
A
A
A
F
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
council
members.
No
major
issue
updates
did
want
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
information
since
it
is
election
season
and
have
had
some
inquiries
that
have
come
to
staff
and
to
city
council
members
as
well
about
yard
signs.
This
is
something
that
we
go
through
every
year
during
election
seasons,
as
yard
signs
tend
to
disappear,
and
unfortunately
I
think
there
are
some
people
who
are
not
respectful
of
candidates,
or
you
know
the
law
around.
F
If
there
are
signs
that
are
being
stolen,
those
should
be
reported
to
the
police
department
and
and
the
bloomington
police
will
follow
up
on
that.
So
if
folks
have
evidence
of
or
concerns
that
their
signs
are
being
taken
illegally,
then
the
police
department
is
the
best
place
to
go.
If
it's
concerns
about
location,
then
checking
with
the
city
clerk's
office
is
always
the
first
start.
A
I
will
add
an
invitation
to
all
members
of
our
community
come
on
down
to
the
old
cedar
avenue
bridge
reopening
celebration.
This
has
been
a
long
time
coming.
Actually
we
actually
from
the
time
that
we
authorized
work
on
the
bridge,
the
construction
of
the
bridge,
and
we
were
about
ready
to
get
it
open
with
a
grand
celebration
and
then
covet
hit.
So
that's
been
pushed
back,
so
this
has
been
a
long
time
coming
and
it's
something
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
and
I
hope
everybody
in
the
community
will
be
able
to
join
us.
A
I
know
there
are
activities
going
on
throughout
the
week
down
at
the
old
cedar
avenue
bridge,
including
bird
watching
and
some
painting
and
other
activities.
The
main
event
is
saturday
afternoon
starts
at
one
o'clock
includes
a
variety
of
activities,
food
trucks
and
so
on
the,
but
please
please
join
us.
It's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
fun
looks
like
the
weather
is
going
to
be
nice,
so
please
come
on
down
and
join
us.
The
main
thing
to
remember
is
that
there's
no
parking
on
site.
A
It's
a
it's,
a
small
parking
lot
down
there
to
begin
with.
If
you've
been
down
there,
you
certainly
know
that
so
we'll
be
running
shuttles
from
the
the
national
wildlife
refuge
parking
lot
down
to
the
old
cedar
avenue
bridge,
not
a
perfect
solution,
but
it's
the
best
we
do
have,
and
so
please
you
can
walk
down,
you
can
bite
down
or
you
can
catch
a
shuttle
and
come
on
down
and
join
us.
