Description
January 7, 2023 Special Bloomington Minnesota City Council Meeting
- The City Council will hold the second of three special meetings for the purpose of interviewing applicants for the at-large Council seat vacancy.
A
A
A
A
Good
morning,
everyone
I
would
like
to
call
to
order
this
special
meeting
of
the
Bloomington
city
council
bright
and
early
on
Saturday
January
7th.
We
are
doing
our
second
round
of
interviews
or
excuse
me,
our
second
batch
of
first
round
interviews
to
fill
the
council
at
large
seed
to
replace
Nathan
Coulter.
We
as
I
said
that
this
is
our
second
batch
of
interviews.
A
We
interviewed
a
first
group
of
candidates
on
Wednesday
evening
and
we
interviewed
nine
on
Wednesday
night
we're
going
to
do
10
today
and
basically
I
say
interview,
and-
and
this
is
indeed
more
or
less
a
job
interview
for
each
of
the
candidates.
We
have
asked
that
they
submit
a
resume
and
a
cover
letter,
and
then
we
provided
four
questions
for
them
to
prepare
for
and
to
be
ready
for
this
side.
This
interview
panel
and
had
a
very
good
round
of
interviews
on
Wednesday
night,
looking
forward
to
today's
meeting
today's
candidates
as
well.
A
The
plan
is,
we
will
finish
up
today
and
then
Monday
night
at
our
council
meeting.
We
will
winnow
this
group
down
from
19
people
to
a
more
manageable
group
to
three
or
four
or
five.
However,
it
works
out
and
ask
them
back
for
second
interviews,
we'll
be
doing
a
second
interview
of
those
folks
and
and
based
off
of
the
information
we
have
from
the
application
materials
they
submitted
and
the
two
interviews
we'll
be
making
our
selection
I
think
what
is
it?
A
The
the
20
ninth
later
this
month
later
this
month
or
the
first
month
first
meeting
in
February
one
of
those
two
so
moving
kind
of
quickly
on
this.
But
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
council
see.
We
don't
want
that
Council
seat
to
sit
empty
for
too
long.
So
that
is,
that
is
the
the
groundwork.
That's
the
foundation
of
what
we're
doing
today
and
now
we
will
bring
in
our
first
candidate
and
welcome
them
and
off.
We
go.
A
A
Good
morning,
Mr
Johnson
welcome
good
morning,
thanks
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
your
application.
This
morning,
glad
you're
you're
in
front
of
us
and
and
thanks
as
I
said
for
your
application
and
your
interest
in
this
position.
We
have
four
questions
that
we've
asked.
We
asked
everybody
on
Wednesday
night,
we'll
be
asking
everybody
the
same
four
questions
today
and
looking
for
answers
for
those
we're
limiting
everybody
to
eight
minutes
and
the
the
clock
is
up
over
there
to
your
right.
A
So
you
can
see
that
and
see
how
much
time
you
have.
We
ask
that
you
budget
accordingly,
so
we
can
ask
and
answer
the
four
questions
and
make
sure
that
we
we
get
the
information
from
you
that
we're
hoping
to
get
this
morning.
Okay,.
D
A
Was
it
was
updated,
it
kind
of
evolved
as
we
as
we
moved
forward,
you
received
emails,
and
this
evolved.
I
must
have
missed
that
email
and
I
apologize
all
right.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
we'll
simply
ask
the
questions
as
we
head
right
on
down
the
Davis
here
and
the
clock
will
start
as
we
do
this
and
we'll
start
with
councilmember
Lowman
councilmember
Lowman.
Why
don't
you
kick
us.
E
Off,
thank
you
mayor,
welcome
good
morning,
tell
us
about
yourself
and
why
you
think
you'd
make
a
good
city,
council,
member,
okay,.
D
I'm
I'm,
a
senior
citizen,
so
I
represent
probably
a
large
segment
of
the
city
in
that
that
I,
don't
know
is,
has
a
council
person
currently
at
and
as
a
at
large
Council
seat
I
like
that
opportunity,
because
it
means
I,
don't
answer
to
the
people
necessarily
or
cater
to
the
people
in
the
east
side
or
the
west
side.
I
deal
with
everybody
in
the
city
and
that
Unity
is
I.
Think
important
I've
been
in
six
different
cities
in
my
life,
I
grew
up
in
Minneapolis.
D
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
Brooklyn
Park
I've
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
community
activism,
in
that
I
was
part
of
the
lions
in
Brooklyn
Park
so
spent
a
lot
of
time,
personal
time,
volunteering
and
then
raising
money
and
working
on
City
projects.
F
So
what
project
or
initiative
in
the
last
year
do
you
see
as
the
most
aligned
with
the
direction
of
where
Bloomington
is
headed?
Well,.
D
Luckily,
for
the
city
of
Bloomington,
I'm
new,
so
I
bring
in
the
experience
from
living
at
six
different
communities.
The
majority
of
my
life
spent
out
of
take
the
time
Minneapolis
and
Brooklyn
Park,
but
I've
also
lived
in
Hopkins
here.
Portland
Oregon,
Maple
Grove,
so
I've
only
been
here
since
May
of
last
year.
D
So
I
don't
have
that
good
of
a
view
of
what's
been
going
on
prior
to
that,
but
I
think
the
recent
focus
on
police
and
fire
are
the
most
impressive
to
me,
because
that's
what's
going
to
keep
your
that's.
What's
going
to
keep
your
community
growing
is
when
people
see
that
that's
where
your
focus
is
on.
Those
are
the
services
that
they
rely
on
to
make
their
life
a
good
place
and
when
people
want
to
decide
where
to
go,
live,
that's
a
key
factor.
G
Good
morning,
good
morning,
this
is
it
excuse
me
first
time,
I've
spoken
to
a
human
apologies,
really
I
only
have
dogs
and
cats
at
home.
Oh
the
you
go
to
the
meetings
all
the
time.
No
no
I
meant
this
morning.
Oh
my
voice
was
a
little.
The
decisions
we
make
often
don't
have
an
impact
until
many
years
later.
So
what
are
one
or
two
things
you'd
like
to
see
in
10
years
that
will
make
this
community
better.
D
A
couple
of
things
one
work
to
keep
the
taxes
reasonable,
okay
to
say,
low,
is
a
misnomer,
because
that's
low
for
me
over
that
and
reasonable
is
also
a
a
wide
open
term.
But
if
your
tax,
if
your
tax
structure
starts
to
exceed
your
neighboring
cities
that
are
in
a
comparable
situation,
you
will
not
attract
new
people
and,
according
to
the
statistics,
Bloomington
has
been
in
a
downward
progression
in
population
since
its
height,
which
was
the
height
of
the
population,
growth
was
a
1950
to
1960,
where
you
grew
over
400
percent.
D
Since
since
then,
there's
only
been
a
couple
of
years
where
it's
grown,
that
was
between
1960
and
70.
It
grew
62
percent,
and
since
then,
you
have
not
had
growth
more
than
10
percent
and
most
of
the
years
of
since
then
have
gone
down
your
losing
population,
so
taxes
keeping
them
low,
supporting
owner
occupancy
in
your
city,
as
your
city
becomes
more
rental,
you
lose
people
who
are
involved
in
the
committee
in
the
community.
They
have
less
at
stake
and
ownership
of
a
home
takes
support.
D
Now
the
city's
got
an
initiative
right
out
there
right
now
about
new
home
ownership,
that
I
plan
to
take
advantage
of,
because
I'm
living
in
an
apartment
and
I'd
rather
own
a
home
like
I,
have
previously
so
I
think
that
those
are
of
the
six
different
cities.
I've
lived
in
the
ones
that
have
the
higher
owner
occupancy.
You
can
tell
those
neighborhoods
when
you
drive
through
them.
H
D
Having
been
here
since
May
I
haven't
done
a
whole
lot,
I'm
still
figuring
out
where
the
where
to
go
in
Bloomington
and
I,
found
a
mechanic
and
now
I
the
when
I
lived
in
Brooklyn
Park
when
I
was
there
for
for
several
years.
As
a
member
of
the
Lions,
we
did
a
lot
of
things
that
were
you
pay
to
be
a
lion.
D
You
paid
a
join,
you
paid
a
stay,
a
joint,
you
volunteer
your
time,
you
raise
money
and
then
that
money
by
caveat
and
a
a
council
decision
the
decide
which
requests
for
funding
you're
going
to
honor,
but
the
Lions
is
very
involved
and
I
was
very
involved
in
the
Lions.
I
managed
their
largest
fundraiser.
That
has
been
the
Lions,
have
the
longest
running
event
in
the
city
of
Brooklyn
Park
longer
than
their
City
Festival.
So
people
need
to
get
involved,
I
get
involved,
I,
don't
just
say:
gee
I
wish.
D
A
Mr
Johnson,
thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
this
morning.
That's
those
were
the
four
questions
we
had
as
I
said.
Thanks
for
your
application.
Thank
you
for
your
interest
in
this
position
and
appreciate
you
being
here
with
us.
Okay,
do.
A
We
you
you've
got
a
minute
28,
but
what
we,
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
answer
the
questions
and
and
make
sure
we
keep
it
the
same
for
everybody
that
everybody
answers
the
same
questions
we
have
the
same
information
from
everyone,
uh-huh.
D
Okay,
well
I
did
want
to
bring
up
that.
Looking
at
the
makeup
of
the
council,
currently
I
think
I
might
be
the
only
person
on
here
if,
if
you,
if
I
make
it
past
this,
that
is
a
senior
citizen
that
is
on
Social
Security,
that
is
over
the
age
of
65,
that
is
on
a
set
income
that
is
a
not
a
homeowner
but
a
renter,
and
that
I
can
address
a
aspect
of
the
population
in
the
city
of
Bloomington.
D
I
A
You
for
being
here
with
us
this
morning,
greatly
appreciated.
Thank
you
for
your
interest
in
this
position.
Thank
you
for
your
application
materials.
We
are
asking
each
of
the
applicants
the
same
four
questions.
You
receive
them
in
advance
and
trying
to
get
a
a
better
understanding
of
who
you
are
and
and
and
how
you
would
answer
the
questions
and
your
different
thoughts
on
the
city,
and
we
have
eight
minutes
allocating
you
can
see
the
clock
there
and
so
we'd.
A
Ask
that
you
budget
your
time
to
make
sure
that
we
can
get
all
four
questions
asked
and
answers
in
those
eight
minutes,
and
we
are
just
gonna
head
right
down
the
Deus
and
ask
the
questions
and
it's
as
simple
as
that
and
off.
We
go
all.
I
Well,
good
morning,
as
mentioned,
my
name
is
Beth
Pollock,
my
pronouns.
Are
she
her
and
hers
and
I
would
like
to
start
by
saying
thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
I
was
having
the
chance
to
meet
with
some
of
the
other
applicants
too,
and
they're
they're,
wonderful,
but
I
get
to
talk
about
myself
right
now,
so
prepare
for
the
I
statements.
I
I
I'm,
particularly
good,
at
seeing
the
big
picture,
as
well
as
listening
and
learning
and
growing
from
what
I
hear
and
being
able
to
see
different
perspectives
and
as
well
as
having
feet
in
different
perspectives
of
the
community.
I
have
the
corporate
America
job.
You
know
I
go
downtown
to
Minneapolis
a
few
times
a
week,
but
I
also
have
the
second
job
and
the
third
job
you
know
working
in
the
retail
and
the
hospitality
and
service
industry,
which
is
a
big
part
of
the
community
here.
I
So
it
can
kind
of
be
able
to
see
from
both
perspectives
or
multiple
perspectives.
Now,
there's
many
more
out
there,
of
course,
but
I
can
see
also
I
rent
in
a
neighborhood
that
is
mostly
home
ownership.
So
there's
that
different
aspect
as
well
and
just
being
able
to
communicate
and
be
able
to
work
and
live
alongside
all
these
wonderful
people,
it's
great
to
be
able
to
also
learn
from
them
and
be
able
to
help
others
learn
from
myself
as
well.
I
The
responsible,
as
well
as
balancing
the
wants
and
needs
of
the
community,
and
even
and
being
mindful
of
those
non-income
streams
and
how
to
work
that
into
the
city,
so
I
will
have
to
say
I,
don't
have
all
the
answers,
but
I
can
help
find
find
Road
and
Pathways
to
get
to
where
we
want
to
be
and
overall
hope,
to
develop
and
Implement
these
and
help
to
grow
and
strengthen
the
city
of
Bloomington
and
its
image
its
inclusivity
and
help
make
it
a
sustainable,
healthy
City
for
the
future.
F
I
There's
a
lot
of
ongoing
initiatives
within
the
city
and
as
you're
well
aware,
one
I
particularly
was
yay
for
and
and
proud
to
see
was
the
curbside
Organics
pickup
like
Yay
no
longer
do
I
have
to
walk
down
the
road
to
to
deposit
my
Organics,
which
was
wonderful
when
that
was
implemented
as
well.
So
that
was
just
exciting,
because
you
know
years
ago
I
was
in
Germany.
You
know
we
had
just
survived
Y2K
and
it's
like.
Oh
I
have
three
bins.
I
You
know
like
okay,
there's
just
one
bin,
but
being
able
to
see
how
that
that
impacted
me
of
you
know
from
20
years
ago
to
where
we
are
today
and
how
that
having
the
green
and
sustainable
future
and
making
that
a
big
part
of
where
we
are
and
where
we're
going
is,
is
great
to
see
as
well
as
watching
my
time
here.
I
want
to
say
the
commitment
to
diversity
and
inclusivity
and
make
calling
out
that
we
are
all
aware
and
being
aware
of
that.
G
I
And
then
the
I
know
another
big
one
is
always
public
transportation
and
like
for
me
where
I
live,
it's
actually
easier
to
go
to
a
neighboring
Community
to
get
on
a
bus
to
get
to
work
in
Minneapolis
versus
staying
within
my
community
to
get
there
and
and
then
one
that
I
think
we're
all
growing
and
figuring
out
along
the
way.
I
You
have
four
really
great
questions,
so
this
one
I
was
thinking
about
where
have
I
contributed,
and
so
I
I've
contributed
most
to
to
the
city
of
Bloomington
through
our
and
through
the
participation
of
what
the
city
has
had
to
offer,
and
this
past
summer,
I
had
a
piece
in
the
come
as
you
are
exhibition.
So
I
saw
that
as
great
collaboration
between
the
city,
as
well
as
outside
communities
in
the
Greater
Minnesota
Pride
community
and
as
well
as
great
professional
boost.
I
I
I
may
go
the
wrong
way
every
so
often,
but
having
that
opportunity
and
meeting
those
people
and
and
of
different
Generations
than
she
and
I.
That
was
wonderful.
You
may
have
seen
or
even
purchased
some
of
my
pieces.
My
stained
glass
pieces
from
the
winter
markets
that
have
been
held
out
out
in
the
building
and
you're
welcome
to
come
to
my
booth.
Anytime,
and
so
the
winter
markets
not
only
are
wonderful
for
that,
but
you
are
also
meeting
other
great
people
and
then
skipping
down
to
this.
I
How
I
can
contribute
is
that
my
name,
you
know
I've
run
hundreds
of
miles
in
my
neighborhood,
but
my
neighbor,
my
neighbor
interrogated
me
the
one
day
she's
like
who
are
you?
Where
have
you
been
I'm,
like
I've
lived
here
for
12
years,
but
my
mailman
can
recognize
me
and
stop
me
in
the
street
and
say:
hey
I
forgot
this
package:
can
you
grab
it?
I
want
to
I
want
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
help
grow.
The
community.
A
A
We
are
asking
all
of
the
candidates
the
same
four
questions
and
asking
that
you
respond
to
them,
so
we
get
a
better
sense
of
who
you
are
and
get
to
know
you
a
little
bit
better.
We
have
eight
minutes
on
the
clock
and
we're
limiting
everybody
to
eight
minutes,
and
so
we
ask
that
you
budget
your
time
to
make
sure
that
we
can
ask
and
answer
all
four
of
those
questions
and
and,
as
I
said,
get
to
get
to
know
you
a
little
bit
better.
A
B
B
B
My
husband
was
born
and
raised
in
Bloomington,
and
we
both
chose
this
city,
a
beautiful
city,
to
be
the
place
where
we
would
raise
our
kids
and
give
them
the
possibility
to
have
access
to
a
good
quality.
Education
I
have
started
in
the
Planning
Commission
for
the
past
four
and
a
half
years
advice
in
the
city
council
on
development
proposal
standards,
loan
range
planning,
I
was
a
member
of
the
forward
2040
advisory
committee,
helping
the
city
develop
its
long-term
vision
and
priorities
to
the
comprehensive
plan.
I
was
a
member
of
the
equity
and
inclusion.
B
Action
Group
for
the
one
Bloomington
plan
and
I
was
also
in
the
first
cohort
of
the
Bloomington
learned
to
need
an
initiative.
I
have
volunteered
in
many
different
capacities
in
the
city,
but
my
longest
experience
has
been
as
a
school
board
member
for
Bloomington
Public
Schools
in
the
last
11
years.
B
B
I
believe
I
had
gained
the
tools
and
skills
necessary
to
successfully
continue
contributing
to
the
development
of
a
positive
and
prosperous
future
for
the
city
of
Bloomington,
and
I
would
like
to
do
that.
As
a
member
of
the
city
council,.
F
B
There's
so
many
good
credits
that
it
was
really
kind
of
hard
to
choose,
but
I
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
Bloomington
together
tomorrow,
you
had
this
great
initiative
of
bringing
the
community
together
and
listening
to
the
different
voices
voices
that
have
been
participating
in
creating
the
vision
for
the
future
of
Bloomington,
what
it
is
going
to
look
like
Bloomington,
where
everyone
excuse
me
Bloomington,
where
everyone
can
thrive.
B
This
is
something
we
have
seen
reflected
in
the
development
of
the
five-year
strategic
plan
in
this
strategic
plan
really
encompasses
the
set
of
goals
and
strategies
that
will
fulfill
the
mission
of
the
city.
So,
as
you
have
stated,
to
cultivate
an
enduring
and
remarkable
Community
where
people
want
to
be.
This
is
the
Bloomington
that
we
want
to
see
right
and
Bloomington
is
already
a
remarkable
City.
Bloomington
is
a
leader
in
many
different
ways,
and
we
have
a
very
strong
community.
B
So
I
really
believe
that
this
plan
guarantines
that
Bloomington
will
continue
to
thrive
and
to
be
a
place
where
people
want
to
be
a
place
where
everyone
can
have
an
opportunity
to
grow
as
a
human
being
to
develop.
That
sense
of
community
that
is
so
important
to
make
of
our
city,
a
city
that
is
stronger
in
prosperous
in
a
place
where
more
people
want
to
come
and
stay,
we'll
have
the
responsibility
of
preserving
our
resources
and
to
use
them
in
a
very
responsible
way,
a
place
that
we
can
live
to
our
future
Generations.
B
This
was
this
plan
also
aligns
with
the
vision
of
the
forward
20
40
comprehensive
plan,
which
also
includes
people's
life,
work,
business
opportunities,
Recreation
amenities,
safety,
stability,
Community
engagement.
That
said
so,
we
love
belonging
that
I
talked
about
before,
so
that
and
the
park
system
master
plan
to
improve
and
preserve
are
green
spaces
and
responsibility
use
of
our
natural
resources.
It's
just
some
of
the
many
things
that
I
think
is
really
great.
G
B
There
are
many
things
that
I
would
like
to
say
in
the
next
10
years
and
as
a
member
of
the
school
board,
I
know
really
well
how
long
it
can
take
for
a
project
to
develop
and
to
really
see
you
know
the
fruits
of
that
I
was
a
member
of
the
40
of
the
forward
2040
advisory
committee
and
in
10
years
I
would
like
to
see
the
Bloomington
has
in
fact
moved
in
the
duration,
the
direction
that
was
establishing
the
vision
of
this
of
this
plan
of
the
comprehensive
plan
that
came
out
of
this
forward,
20
40
committee
I,
will
leave.
B
I
would
like
to
see
that
we
have
made
improvements
in
the
med
Council
outcomes
for
our
community,
that
the
quality
of
life
of
our
residents
has
improved,
that
there
are
more
opportunities
for
work,
Education,
Health,
Recreation
transportation
and
housing
for
all
people
that
we
can
see
that
we
have
been
responsible
in
the
way
the
city
invested
in
in
preserving
resources
in
a
sustainable
way
and
I
definitely
like
to
see
more
families
with
young
children
moving
to
Bloomington
and
staying
in
Bloomington
families
of
all
different
backgrounds.
B
So
I
think
that
we
need
in
10
years,
I
would
like
to
see
that
we
have
made
a
huge
Improvement
in
those
areas
so
that
we
can
bring
in
those
families
keep
them
here,
retain
them
here,
and
that
way
we
cannot
continue
to
develop
together,
that
sense
of
belonging
and
also
the
World
Expo
I
think
this
is
a
great
opportunities
for
families
and
for
our
youth.
You
know
what
a
great
opportunity
for
families
to
be
part
of
this
of
this
type
of
event.
B
B
Well,
I
had
mentioned
before
the
forward
24
advisor
committee,
the
different
work
that
I
have
done
in
Bloomington,
but
I
think
the
my
biggest
contribution
has
been
in
the
Bloomington
School
Board
working
directly
with
our
families
with
our
students.
We
had
had
many
different
challenges,
so
I
would
like
to
work
together
with
the
council
to
continue
to
work
on
those
and
help
our
families
move
forward.
B
A
For
being
here
with
us
this
morning,
thanks
for
having
me
absolutely
thanks
for
your
interest
in
this
position,
thanks
for
applying
greatly
do
appreciate
it.
We
have
four
questions
that
we've
asked
each
of
the
candidates
to
to
answer
for
us
and
we
have
a
an
eight-minute
shot
clock
up
over
your
right
shoulder
there.
So
you
can
kind
of
budget
your
time
to
make
sure
that
we
have
all
four
questions
asked
and
answered,
and
you
can
work
your
your
way
through
it.
A
J
So
my
name
is
Danny
I'm,
a
little
nervous,
so
I'm
gonna
try
and
keep
it
slow,
but
I'm.
A
mom
of
two
they're
four
and
two
years
old,
both
go
to
Bloomington
Public
Schools,
as
well
as
receive
special
education
services
from
Bloomington,
Public
Schools
and
a
private
provider
here
also
in
Bloomington
I
work
at
Health
Partners,
so
I
also
work
here
in
Bloomington
and
I
am
a
Content
production
lead,
which
is
just
a
lot
of
fancy.
J
Words
for
I
help,
coordinate,
making
things
end
up
on
the
website
on
the
care
side
and
right
now,
I'm
serving
as
the
vice
chair
of
the
Bloomington
Early
Childhood
educate,
advocacy
committee
and
a
couple
of
other
committees
in
Bloomington.
J
Public
Schools
I,
moved
to
Minnesota
about
17
years
ago
to
go
to
the
Humphrey
Institute
of
public
affairs,
I
focus
on
social
policy,
so
housing
welfare,
that
sort
of
thing
and
I'm
a
disability
self-advocate,
and
why
I
think
I'm
a
good
fit
for
this
role
and
why
I'm
here
is
because
a
lot
of
what
I
do,
both
in
my
volunteer
work
and
in
my
professional
work,
is
create
consensus
and
work
together
with
people.
J
In
my
job,
I
sit
in
a
room
with
lawyers,
doctors,
developers,
content,
people,
marketing
people,
and
we
have
to
come
up
with
a
way
to
say
when
your
grandmother
gets
cancer
and
logs
onto
that
website,
she
feels
supported,
not
confused
and
can
find
the
information
quickly.
And
what
energizes
me
what's
the
best
time
in
those
moments
is
when
somebody,
when
you're
running
up
against
the
parameters
of
what
isn't
isn't
possible
and
somebody
goes
wait.
J
F
J
There's
a
lot
of
things
you've
done
over
the
last
few
years
that
I
really
agree
with
I
think
racism
as
a
Public
Health
crisis,
or
protecting
kids
from
conversion
therapy
and
definitely
the
South
Loop
development
plan,
because
that's
where
I
live,
but
the
thing
that
is
a
thread
that
goes
through
them.
All
that
I
think
is
the
number
one
thing
that's
indicative
of
the
direction
of
Bloomington
is
your
commitment
to
communication
with
residents
and
that
being
a
two-way
street,
so
I
really
love
the
use
of
the
online
portal.
J
I
can
give
my
information
I
can
share
it
on
social
media,
easily
email
it,
but
the
thing
that
both
symbolically
and
practically
is
what
I
think
a
shining
star
of
that
communication
program
is
when
you
came
into
the
community
to
talk
to
people
where
they
are
so.
Those
Parks
master
plan
meetings
in
the
Parks
I
think
that
really
shows
a
commitment
to
community.
When
you
demand
that
people
come
to
you
to
tell
you
how
they
feel
it
really
creates
a
barrier,
and
it
also
creates
kind
of
hierarchy
that
can
feel
really
cold
to
community.
J
Remember
is
when
you
go
and
stand
in
their
park,
you
know
in
your
hiking
boots
and
you
ask
hey:
how
do
you
use
this
space
and
people
can
tell
you
it
creates
that
community
and
investment,
where
everyone's
working
to
make
our
city
better
so
I,
think
that
is
the
number
one
initiative
and
you
all
heard
what
the
community
was
saying
and
you
took
a
strong.
You
know,
step
in
that
direction
and
I
think
the
city
staff
also
has
just
done
a
fantastic
job
in
implementing
that.
G
J
J
So
I
know
that
those
things
encapsulate
values
and
core
values
and
for
me,
I'm
really
seeing
that
you're
building
a
city
with
inclusion
as
design,
not
as
accommodation
so
trying
to
create
a
place
where
everyone
feels
like
they're
part
of
the
community,
something
that
Drew
me
to
Bloomington
was
that
people
say
I've
lived
here.
My
whole
life,
my
kids,
live
here.
Their
whole
lives.
I
really
feel
that
I
belong
here
and
I.
J
Think
that
not
everyone
in
the
city
always
feels
that
they
belong
here,
but
you're
working
in
creating
a
city
where
every
single
person
feels
nourished
in
their
community
and
that
they're
welcome
and
belong
in
their
community
and
that
we
kind
of
are
working
together,
as
is
one,
and
so
that's
what
I
want
to
see
in
10
years.
I
want
to
see
a
place
where
everyone
feels
nourished
and
welcome
and
we
can
kind
of
live
in
a
space
where
we
all
Embrace
each
other's
differences.
H
J
Yes,
city
is
my
work
on
the
Early
Childhood
advisory
Council.
Last
year
we
raised
over
five
thousand
dollars
to
overhaul
the
equipment
in
Southwood
Early
Learning
Center,
as
well
as
adequatement
to
Pond
for
preschool.
We've
also
raised
over
a
thousand
dollars
for
diapers
that
are
available
to
members
in
our
community.
Last
year
we
did
a
like
a
cold
weather,
Gear
Drive.
J
So
I've
met
not
only
the
people
that
I
already
know
from
ECFE,
but
also
just
people
that
are
in
preschool
and
other
schools
across
the
city
and
then
what
I
want
to
bring
or
what
I
think
I
can
bring
to
this
to
English
City
succeed
going
forward
is
I
think
that
I
really
am
very
good
at
synthesizing.
J
All
informations,
like
taking
information
from
staff
from
the
community
from
research
papers,
from
data
and
kind
of
like
coming
out
with
a
easy
to
understand
analysis
inscription
of
it,
but
where
that
really
fits
in
in
this
Council
and
the
great
work
that
you're
doing
is
being
able
to
ask
questions
that
challenge
and
move
forward.
I
think
that
no
one
has
all
the
answers.
I,
certainly
don't,
and
that
but
asking
questions
brings
different
perspectives.
J
That
helps
push
the
whole
group
in
a
place
where
they
can
like
do
more
and
work
better
together,
because
I
see
something
different
than
you
see,
and
you
see
something
different
than
I
see
and
it's
through
those
questions
that
we
can
find
our
blind
spots
and
really
create
a
kind
of
holistic
view
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
and
being
able
to
really
represent
the
community
and
work
together
to
create
the
other
things
that
I
was
talking
about.
J
K
A
Thank
you
so
very
much
for
being
here
this
morning.
Thanks
for
your
interest
in
this
position
and
the
application
that
you
did
sent
in
greatly
appreciated,
we
have
four
questions
that
we're
asking
each
of
the
candidates
to
to
answer,
and
so
just
an
opportunity
to
get
to
know
you
a
little
bit
better
and
understand
a
little
bit
more
your
interest
in
this
position.
We
have
budgeted
eight
minutes,
we've
got
a
shot
clock
there
and
so
asking
you
to
to
parse
out
your
time
appropriately.
A
So
we
can
make
sure
that
we
get
all
four
questions
asked
and
answered,
and
and
as
I
said
as
an
opportunity
to
get
to
know
you
better
and
the
only
other
operational
piece
here
is
that
we're
just
going
to
head
right
on
down
the
line
and
ask
the
questions
and
council
member
Lohman
is
going
to
kick
us
off
and
off.
We
go
thank.
K
Good
morning
to
everyone,
I'm
excited
to
be
here
and
happy
to
have
you
guys
have
to
have
me.
My
name
is
samua
and
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
me,
my
first
name
is
pronounced,
saw
like
a
chainsaw.
It
doesn't
sound
how
it
looks,
but
I've
been
a
resident
in
Bloomington
for
seven
years
now,
but
my
connection
to
Bloomington
has
actually
spans
back
a
few
decades.
Both
my
father-in-law
and
my
mother-in-law
grew
up
here
in
Bloomington
and
when
they
talk
about
the
life
the
Bloomington
had
when
they
were
growing
up.
K
That's
what
inspires
me
to
continue
to
work
to
ensure
that
Bloomington
is
a
thriving
place
not
only
for
my
two
young
boys,
but
for
all
residents,
because
when
I
look
at
the
most
current
census
data
and
demographic
information,
it's
clear
to
me
that
Bloomington
is
a
kaleidoscope
of
change.
You
can
see
that
our
resident
age
continues
to
get
older,
but
when
you
look
at
our
student
population,
that
population
continues
to
be
more
and
more
diverse.
K
It
was
through
the
collective
work
of
my
parents,
my
teachers,
our
neighbors,
our
community
members.
That
helped
me
achieve
what
I
have
today
and
I
firmly
believe
as
Bloomington
continues
to
grow
and
evolve,
and
change
that
my
life
experiences
and
my
successes
both
professionally
and
educationally,
will
give
this
Council
a
view
into
how
we
can
build
Bridges
across
worlds
and
bring
them
together.
F
K
My
home
and
more
recently,
I
was
part
of
the
core
planning
team
to
set
the
city's
strategic
plan
and
the
work
that
we
did
with
members
of
this
Council
and
City
staff
and
residents
makes
me
excited
and
optimistic
about
the
future
of
Bloomington,
and
that
was
a
direct
result
of
that
shift
in
focus
by
the
council,
regardless
of
whether
I'm
appointed
to
this
Council
or
not.
I
will
continue
to
Champion
that
level
of
Resident
engagement
and
an
understanding,
because
that
to
me
is
the
most
important
part.
K
That's
happened
over
the
last
few
years
here
and,
as
our
mission
statement
says,
our
mission
is
to
cultivate
an
enduring
remarkable
community
and
I
have
found
my
reason
for
being
to
be
part
of
this
community
and
I'll
continue
to
work
to
help.
Make
sure
that
my
neighbors,
whether
they're,
New
or
Old,
to
Bloomington
find
that
connection
so
that
we
can
make
Bloomington
the
place.
Everyone
wants
to
be.
K
Yeah,
that's
a
great
and
difficult
question
all
at
the
same
time,
there
is
one
key
performance
indicator
that
I
want
to
see
that
doesn't
show
up
on
a
stat
sheet
or
a
graph,
and
it
really
came
to
me
over
Christmas
dinner
as
I
was
having
a
conversation
with
my
father-in-law
and
he
simply
asked
a
saw.
How
are
the
skating
rinks
in
Bloomington
this
year
and
I
said
to
him?
You
know
what
honestly
the
usage
hasn't
been
there.
K
The
city
actually
had
a
shutdown
for
skating
rinks
permanently,
and
he
wanted
to
tell
me
when
he
was
growing
up
in
the
late
60s
and
70s
On
Any
Given
winter
day
there
wasn't
a
skating
rink
in
Bloomington
that
you
could
go
to
that.
Wasn't
full
of
kids,
and
that
is
the
key
marker
that
I
want
to
see
in
10
years.
I
want
to
see
our
Parks
our
playgrounds,
our
skating
rinks
bursting
and
fill
the
children,
parents
and
grandparents.
Because
to
me
that
would
mean
that
we
were
able
to
execute
on
our
fair
housing
plans.
H
K
Yeah
absolutely,
as
I've
mentioned
before,
I'm
a
proud
member
I'm,
proud
Alum
with
the
Bloomington
leadership
program.
That
program
is
what
really
helped
push
my
journey
to
continue
becoming,
engaged
and
involved
with
the
city
from
there.
I
was
able
to
be
part
of
the
community
budget
advisory
committee
with
the
task
of
providing
the
council
with
recommendations
and
how
to
address
the
budget
shortfalls
that
were
being
brought
on
by
the
pandemic
and
then
most
recently,
I'm
proud
to
be
part
of
an
amazing
core
planning
team
that
set
the
city's
strategic
plan.
K
That
gave
me
that
it
was
really
the
organically
grown
groups
and
communities
that
I
stumbled
upon
in
Bloomington
as
I
was
going
through.
This
journey,
my
family
stumbled
upon
the
amazing
top
pod
Community,
which
many
of
you
have
heard
about
recently
during
the
early
days
of
the
pandemic
and
was
just
forming,
and
we
were
all
just
parents
with
young
kids
looking
to
find
ways
to
allow
our
kids
to
be
kids
and,
to
be
honest,
it
was
great
to
have
other
parents
that
could
like
relate
to
the
complaints
that
we
had
about
having
young
kids.
K
So
it
was
a
nice
way
for
everyone
to
get
engaged
and
be
together
and
our
fearless
leader,
Tara
Owens.
She
just
received
the
Omar
bondarud
award,
but
it
wasn't
just
her
work.
It
was
a
collective
effort
of
all
the
other
moms
and
dads
within
that
group
that
helped
make
toddpod
a
community
that
is
a
community,
and
that
is
what
I
want
to
do
with
this
Council.
K
That
is
the
seed
that
I
want
to
sow
so
that
residents,
no
matter
where
you're
from
or
what
you've
been
when
you're
here
in
Bloomington,
you
were
attracted
here
because
you
have
a
place
to
be
I'm
excited
to
harvest
work.
That's
been
done
by
this
Council
and
council's
past
and
begin
to
do
the
work
to
cultivate
our
enduring
and
remarkable
Community
with
you.
K
A
A
Council,
we
have
made
it
through
our
first
five
candidates
this
morning,
we're
going
to
take
a
quick
five-minute,
break
kind
of
catch
our
breath
and
make
sure
we
can
get
set
up
for
our
our
next
applicant,
who
will
be
on
Via
WebEx,
and
so
we
just
want
to
make
sure
we
can
get
that
all
set
up.
A
So
I'm
going
to
I'm
going
to
put
a
pause
on
the
meeting,
we're
going
to
recess
for
five
minutes
and
then
come
back
here
at
well,
maybe
a
little
bit
longer
than
five
minutes
we're
a
little
ahead
of
schedule.
Why
don't
we
make
it
10
minutes
we'll
come
back
right
at
10
o'clock
if
we
could
all
right.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
We
have
our
next
person
up
is
David
Clark
via
WebEx
and
Mr
Clark
I
can
see
you
I
am
assuming.
You
can
hear
me
give
me
the
thumbs
up
if
you
can
very
good.
Thank
you
very
good.
We
have
four
questions
that
we're
asking
each
of
the
council
candidates,
and
so
we
can
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
you
and
and
use
that
to
make
our
decisions
we
have
we've
been
allocating
eight
minutes
for
everyone
and
I
believe
Grant
is
able
to
inlay
an
eight-minute
shot
clock
for
you
there.
A
So
you
can
keep
an
eye
on
it.
Grant.
If
you
could
do
that,
that
would
be
helpful.
I,
don't
know
if
he
has
already,
you
seem
to
be
a
nodding.
I
don't
know
is:
has
he
done
that
or
yes?
Okay,
it's
good
good
there.
It
is
I,
see
it
too
as
well.
So
that
will
be
helpful.
You
know
we
just
ask
that
you
budget
your
time,
so
we
can
ask
and
answer
all
four
questions
as
we
we
move
through
this.
A
The
the
only
other
piece
of
operational
here
is
that
we're
just
simply
going
to
work
our
way
right
down
the
Deus
and
ask
the
questions
and
council
member
Lowman
is
going
to
kick
us
off
with
the
first
question:
councilmember
Lowman.
L
Thank
you,
council
member.
Thank
you
mayor,
council
members,
I
actually
grew
up
overseas
in
a
developing
nation
in
South,
America
and
I
saw
up
close
the
real
causes
of
poverty
and
mediocrity.
I
also
saw
the
devastating
effects
of
bad
governance,
so
that's
kind
of
something
I
saw
for
the
first
two
decades
of
my
life
for
the
last
close
to
30
years,
I
lived
in
Minnesota,
my
last
20
years,
I've
been
in
Bloomington,
so
I've
been
a
proud
Bloomington
resident
for
20
years.
L
20
years
ago,
I
moved
from
from
Minneapolis
to
Bloomington
and
I
just
thought
it
would
be
a
great
place
to
live
and
it
has
turned
out
to
be
that
way.
I
think
I'd
be
a
great
council
member,
because
I
think
differently
and
I'm
not
afraid
to
challenge
the
status
quo.
I'm,
not
afraid
to
ask
why
so
the
tough
questions
always
require
that
we
ask
why
same
questions.
We
ask
your
kids
when
we
when
we
when
we
raise
them,
we
need
to
ask
as
we're
engaging
in
local
governance.
L
You
know
why
does
this
budget
need
to
be
passed
this
way?
Why
can
expenses
be
cut
more?
Why
does
this
ordinance,
you
know,
need
to
be
passed
in
this
way?
L
Does
it
violate
constitutional
rights,
so
I'm
not
afraid
to
ask
why
I'm
not
afraid
to
think
differently
and
I
think
the
council
needs
a
different
voice
on
the
on
the
on
the
on
the
Council
of
these
debates
and
I
think
that
if
you're
looking
for
true
diversity,
then
you
need
somebody
that
thinks
differently,
because
that's
something
that
we
desperately
need
today
on
the
council
is
diversity,
so
I
think
I'd
be
that
person
I'd
be
a
great
council
member
for
these
and
many
other
reasons
as
a
commercial
pilot
and
a
business
consultant,
I'm
paid
to
think
ahead
to
build
consensus
with
different
team
members
to
think
outside
the
box
to
anticipate
problems
and
to
come
in
under
budget
I,
live
or
die
by
those
principles,
and
it's
what's.
J
L
Me
in
business
for
many
many
years
and
and
it's
a
great
model
to
work
off
of
so
I-
think
those
are
the
things
that
I
bring
to
the
table
as
a
as
a
as
a
council
member.
F
L
Well,
as
you
know,
I've
been
a
vocal
critic
of
the
mayor
in
the
and
the
city
council.
I'm
not
going
to
be
shy
about
that,
but
I
think
there's
a
few
things
that
that
you
have
done
that
I
think
are
are
are
really
bright.
Spots,
I
think
the
the
financing
with
the
at
the
Mall
of
America.
L
That's
a
tremendous
project
that
I,
don't
think,
has
been
explained
well
to
the
public,
but
it
in
itself
is
a
great
project
and
I
think
if
the
public
were
to
truly
understand
the
benefits
that
that's
going
to
bring
to
the
city
of
Wilmington,
it
would
give
a
lot
more
support.
So
I
think
that's
a
really
great
thing.
That's
that's!
That's,
hopefully
going
to
happen
here.
I
think
the
World's
Fair,
as
long
as
we
have
safeguards
so
that
Wilmington
hasn't
left
holding
the
bag.
L
If
things
don't
go
as
planned,
that
can
also
be
a
tremendous
Boon
for
our
economy
and
our
visibility
in
the
world
economy.
L
You've
made
some
great
hires
recently
you've
hired
the
police
chief
I,
don't
know
of
anybody.
Who's
been
negative
about
our
new
police
chief
and
carried
on
the
legacy
of
Chief
Hartley
I.
Think
our
new
police
chief
is
is
is
a
fantastic
person
and
that
was
a
brilliant
hire
on
the
part
of
the
city
and
you've
also
hired
somebody
to
to
go
after
grant
money,
whether
it's
other
Government
funding
or
foundations
or
other
types
of
funding.
L
That's
that's
been
a
great
initiative
and
something
that
I
think
will
will
pay
for
itself
in
Spades.
So
some
really
good
moves
on
a
council
against
a
backdrop
of
some.
You
know
unfortunate
other
decisions,
but
I
think
that
those
are
the
right
spots
that
stand
out
in
my
life.
G
L
Well,
I
think
Bloomington
is
at
a
Crossroads
today.
I
think
that
if
we
make
a
course
correction
now
and
really
start
to
invest
in
some
other
types
of
things,
we
can
really
make
Bloomington
literally
the
bright
spot
in
the
midwest.
The
place
to
be
I
think
that
we
embraced
Prosperity,
Economic,
Development,
Racial
equality
and
freedom,
we're
going
to
set
ourselves
up
for
just
a
tremendous
future
where
people
want
to
come
and
live,
work
and
play
Bloomington
can
be
a
smart
City
wired
for
the
future,
while
preserving
natural
spaces.
L
The
next
10
years
we
can
have
electric
vehicles
in
the
air
and
on
the
ground,
taking
people
where
they
want
to
go
when
they
want
to
go
for
one
tenth
of
the
cost
of
an
Uber.
Today
we
can
be
a
destination
for
businesses
around
the
world
where
they
come
to
us
and
we
don't
necessarily
have
to
go
to
them
so
much,
but
they're
seeking
us
out
to
relocate
their
headquarters
or
put
their
new
operations.
That
can
happen
because
we
have
something
that
a
lot
of
other
cities
don't
have
and
that's
location,
location,
location,
location.
L
We
can
be
the
home
of
a
great
research
University
and
recruit
a
great
unit,
research
University,
to
relocate
at
a
startup
in
Bloomington.
We
can
be
in
the
top
10
places
to
live
in
Bloomington
and
most
of
all,
we
can
be
in
the
lowest
per
capita
cost
of
local
government
in
the
metro
area.
L
Well,
I,
you
know,
there's
a
number
of
ways
that
I've
I've
contributed
that
I
ran
for
city
council
I've
been
a
member
of
my
community,
my
church
I
volunteered
in
different
ways,
but
I
think
the
thing
that
I'm
most
proud
of
is
I'm
a
founding
member
of
residence
for
better
Bloomington,
a
a
group
that's
dedicated
to
increasing
Civic
engagement
on
a
local
level.
L
Here
in
Wilmington
today
we
have
over
4
000
people
on
our
list
of
recent
events
that
we've
sponsored
have
been
a
meet
and
greet
with
the
new
police
chief,
we're
holding
a
forum
on
the
future
of
Education
in
Bloomington
in
the
near
future.
We've
engaged
with
over
5
000
residences
on
Election
Integrity
I've
personally
talked
to
hundreds,
if
not
thousands,
of
people
about
issues
that
really
matter
to
them
in
Bloomington.
L
So
that's
what
I
would
bring
to
the
table:
I'm
always
going
to
fight
for
local
government
transparency,
election
Integrity,
fiscal
responsibility
and
governance
for
all
residents,
and
and
that's
just
that
those
are
the
things
that
are
priorities
for
me.
Those
are
guiding
principles
for
me
and
I.
Think
that
those
would
be
those
would
be
things
that
would
would
make
the
the
council
a
better
counsel
even
than
it
is
today.
L
I
have
a
lot
of
admiration
for
the
council.
Despite
some
policy
differences,
I
still
have
a
lot
of
admiration
for
for
this
Council
and
the
makeup
of
the
council.
The
skills
that
you
all
bring
but
I
think
that
I
could
round
that
out
and
and
iron
sharpens
iron
and
I
think
that
that
thinking
differently
about
things
bringing
different
opinions
to
the
table,
I
think
makes
everybody
better
and
the
ultimate
people
that
win
in
all
of
this
is
Bloomington.
L
A
Foreign,
thank
you
Mr
Clark.
Those
are
the
four
questions
we
had
prepared.
Thank
you
much
for
your
interest
in
your
application
and
thanks
so
much
for
being
here
with
us
this
morning.
A
More
than
anything,
we
need
the
microphone
to
pick
up
the
the
cable
feed
and
the
audio
feedback
we
need
so
thanks
for
being
here
with
us
this
morning.
Thank
you
for
your
interest
and
for
your
your
application
for
this
open
Council
seat.
We
have
four
questions
that
we've
asked
each
of
the
council
applicants
to
to
consider
and
to
answer
an
opportunity
for
us
to
get
to
know
you
a
little
bit
better.
A
We
are
also
allocating
eight
minutes
and
we
have
the
shot
clock
on
the
wall
to
help
you
budget
your
time
and
make
sure
that
we
can
ask
and
answer
all
four
questions
as
we
we
we
get
through
this
this
time
period
with
us
this
morning.
Okay,
the
only
other
operational
piece,
we're
simply
going
to
work
our
way
right
down
the
Deus
here
and
ask
the
questions
and
council
member
Lowman
is
going
to
kick
us
off
so
councilmember
Lowman.
Thank.
M
Well,
my
name
is
Joey.
Osland
lived
in
Bloomington
now
about
25
years
of
my
life
grew
up
here,
moved
back
with
my
family
of
now.
Six
so
I
have
a
wife.
We
have
four
little
kids,
three
of
which
in
the
Bloomington
Public
Schools
one
just
about
to
turn
two
a
couple
dogs,
the
Humane
Society
lived
in
three
different
houses
around
Bloomington
in
the
last
six
years
actually
bought
the
house.
M
M
Otherwise,
yeah
stay
active
with
a
lot
of
activities,
sporting
activities,
a
lot
of
volunteer
work
that
I
do
a
lot
of
which
around
Bloomington
and
you
know,
southwest
suburbs.
I
suppose
why
I'd
make
a
good
council
member
I
don't
know
if
this
is
a
good
answer
or
not,
but
it's
a
quote.
I
like
just
basically
I
know
a
little
bit
about
a
lot
of
things
enough
to
make
me
dangerous.
M
If
that
makes
sense,
so
my
oldest
daughter
is
type
1
diabetic,
so
I
got
the
full
run
through
and
I
do
all
of
our
health
insurance
stuff.
So
learning
a
lot
about
health
insurance,
how
that
system
works
and
doesn't
work
I'm
fortunate
enough
to
make
a
decent
living
very
good
living
for
my
family,
and
so
we
can
afford
insurance
so
I'm
as
a
realtor
I
have
to
pay
for
insurance
out
of
pocket.
So
my
whole
family.
M
We
look
every
year
what
makes
sense
what
doesn't
make
sense,
I'm
actually
on
a
different
insurance
carrier
than
my
the
rest
of
my
family,
because
I
want
them
on,
like
the
top
tier
and
I'm
just
like.
If
I
have
an
arm
falling
off,
maybe
I'll
just
throw
some
Band-Aids
on
it
or
something
right
and
not
going,
but
so
that's
just
one
example,
but
basically
I've
either
voluntarily
or
things
have
happened
where
I've
had
to
learn
about
a
lot
of
different
things.
M
So
a
lot
of
my
sphere
and
friends,
they'll
come
to
me
I
mean
when
people
might
be
looking
for
a
job,
they'll,
say:
Joe.
You
know
a
lot
of
people,
you
know.
Do
you
have
an
idea
of
where
I
could
someone
I
could
talk
to
and
even
though
I
have
no
clue
and
I'm
like
no
I
have
no
one
to
help
you
out
here,
I
find
a
lot
of
ambition
in
that
question
itself,
like
what
people
expect
of
me,
not
only
in
my
own
house,
but
my
sphere,
my
family
things
like
that.
F
M
Be
hard
to
create
or
say
one
specific
project,
I've
really
liked
the
sustainability
piece,
I
think
what
that
started
four
or
five
years
ago,
it's
the
same.
Billy
commission
I
think
we
all
know
that.
Obviously,
environmentalism
is
almost
the
utmost
important
importance
over
anything
else.
Right
we've
had
a
lot
of
social
issues
the
last
few
years.
You
know
none
more
so
than
George
Floyd
and
what
happened
after
that.
So
we
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
issues
to
still
address
there,
but
at
the
same
time,
environment,
I.
M
Have
a
planet
we
don't
have
much
else
so
that
to
me
is,
is
probably
one
of
the
most
important
pieces,
with
social
Equity
being
just
right
behind
that.
So
if
you
set
a
project,
I
think
it
would
be
addressing
you
know
the
way
to
sustain
Parks
teaching
residents
about
sustainable
Lawns
right
I
mean
the
native
Prairie,
like
areas
within
people's
own
Lawns,
be
friendly
environments.
Things
like
that
normal
maze,
all
those
all
those
little
things
that
you
know
it
keeps
getting
out
there
to
people
to
help
them
live
better,
pollute
less
so
yeah.
G
M
Off
the
top
of
my
head
right
now,
we
need
more
I.
Think
cohesion
I,
don't
know
about
you
guys
but
I'm
in
like
the
Facebook
Bloomington
groups
and
it's
as
toxic
as
it
can
get
I'm
in
other
ones,
for
like
we
own
properties
around,
we
have
four
rental
properties
and
so
I'm
in
other
of
these
groups,
just
to
try
to
help
neighbors
help.
M
My
tenants
and
things
like
that
and
I
can
tell
you
how
people
talk
to
each
other
in
his
Facebook,
so
I
take
it
with
a
grain
of
salt,
obviously,
but
I
think
getting
people
to
understand
that
we're
neighbors
here
and
the
way
people
are
talking
to
each
other,
at
least
in
that
form
and
other
forms
right.
M
When
you
go
to
Pride
event,
which
we've
gone
to
last
two
years
now,
which
my
kids
love
my
we
love
coming
to
that
you
know,
we
obviously
see
the
crowd
over
there
and
it's
a
small
group
and
who
knows
if
more
than
one
of
them
is
from
Bloomington
I,
don't
know,
but
just
we
know
that
it's
allowed
bunch
of
people
and
not
that
you
need
to
cater
to
that
at
all.
Right
but
either
way,
I
think
we
need
cohesion
and
I.
M
Think
all
the
plans,
like
the
initiatives
that
have
been
rolling
out
in
the
last
five
years
from
the
council
and
the
mayor
have
been
awesome.
I
think
that
yes,
there's
always
going
to
be
people
that
are
going
to
say
well.
Why
are
you
pushing
for
that?
Why
are
you
doing
this
and
they
are
the
small
amount
of
people
that?
Yes,
you
need
to
listen
to
if
the
residents,
but
at
the
same
time
you
don't
want
to
put
too
much
stock
into
it.
M
M
Actually,
the
first
time
I
ever
met,
Jenna
and
Nathan
was,
at
an
event,
I
hosted
at
my
church
at
Oak
Grove,
making
a
huge
thing
of
sloppy
joes
for
that
Doctor
Anthony
Johnson,
who
now
runs
aeon,
was
one
of
the
key
speakers
there
Patrick
Howard
was
there
I,
don't
remember
he
spoke
or.
M
We
had
like
that
was
just
one
thing.
Then
the
pandemic
made
it
hard
to
do
a
lot
of
those
types
of
events,
but
either
way
it's
for
me.
It's
housing,
environmental
and
then
also
getting
people
to
understand.
There's
not
an
east
Bloomington
and
West
Bloomington.
There's
not
this
faction
in
that
faction.
We're
neighbors
like
let's
get
it
together
a
little
bit
right
so.
M
I've
done
a
lot
in
the
housing
at
my
Supportive
Housing
committee
and
then
also
I
was
on
the
board
of
directors
at
edine
Realty
Foundation
before
I
left
edine
Realty
to
go
to
Re
Max
two
years
ago.
M
So
most
of
my
focus
has
been
around
housing,
meaning,
affordable,
housing
and
then
also
projects
that
make
sense.
We
know
that
we
also
need
to
get
more
dense,
which
is
a
lot
of
what
we
have
seen
in
many
Bloomington
projects
as
of
late,
because
we
need
to
allow
for
more
green
space.
We
don't
need
more
single
fan.
Well,
I
mean
there's
no
space
for
it
anyways,
but
we
don't
need
more
single
family
houses
right
now.
We
need
smart
plat
development
right.
M
Everything
that
we
need
to
do
is
needs
to
be
smart,
sustainable
environmental,
efficient,
so
I
think
I
bring
a
lot
of
that
kind
of
housing
background,
but
then
also
a
lot
of
that
like
social
Equity.
So
I
don't
know
how
much
you
guys
know
about
Oak
Grove
Presbyterians
down
the
street
here,
but
we
joined
there
and
became
official
members
2016..
M
M
Think
things
are,
you
know
getting
better
because
at
least
people
are
having
conversations
I'm
having
a
lot
more
conversations
than
over
the
last
two
years,
just
in
the
last
like
six
months
or
so
with
people
that
maybe
would
disagree
or
not
so
I
think
it's
a
lot
of
I
want
to
bring
a
lot
of
community
building
and
that
does
come
from
housing,
affordable
housing.
Looking
at
the
Ami
for
different
yep,
so
anyways
yeah,
all.
A
Right,
Mr
Roslyn.
Thank
you
for
your
time
this
morning.
Thanks
for
your
interest
in
this
position,
thanks
for
applying
greatly
appreciated.
A
Thank
you
so
very
much
for
your
interest
in
this
position.
Thank
you
for
applying
and
very
glad
to
see
you.
This
morning
we
have
asked
each
of
the
applicants
to
answer
four
questions
and
we
provided
those
questions
to
you
beforehand,
and
so
you
can
take
a
look
at
them
and
we
want
to
just
use
those
questions
as
an
opportunity
to
get.
You
know
a
little
get
to
know
you
just
a
little
bit
better.
We've
got
eight
minutes
on
the
clock
on
the
shot
clock,
so
we're
giving
everybody
that
same
time.
A
We
ask
that
you
budget
your
time,
so
you
can
make
sure
that
we
ask
and
answer
all
four
of
those
questions
would
also
ask
that
you
make
sure
that
you
speak
into
the
microphone.
So
we
can
pick
you
up
in
the
on
the
on
the
cable
broadcast
here
and
the
only
work
our
way
right
down
the
the
row
here
and
asking
questions
and
councilmember
Lowman
is
going
to
kick
us
off
and
off.
We
go
councilmember
Lowman.
A
C
Thank
you
councilmember
Lowman
and
members.
My
husband
and
I
have
lived
in
the
city
for
several
years
and
we've
owned.
We
own
our
own
home
and
we've
raised
our
family
when
we
moved
here,
it
was
our
experience
that
the
community
was
was
mostly
exclusive,
but
now
fast
forward.
Through
the
years
the
community
really
has
come
to
be
inclusive
and
I.
Attribute
that
to
the
vision
of
the
city
council
for
15
years,
I
was
president
of
two
Metro
Chambers
of
Commerce
and
I.
C
Prior
to
that,
I
was
with
the
Minneapolis
Convention
and
visitors
Bill
and
then
also
ran
my
family's
transportation
company
for
13
years,
so
being
accountable
to
employees.
To
members
to
stakeholders
is
something
that,
as
you
council,
members
and
mayor,
have
to
answer
to
your
constituencies
and
that's
accountability.
C
I
have
worked
over
the
years
with
City
Administration,
City
staff
and
Council,
and
when
I
was
at
the
DCR
chamber,
we
worked
with
multiple
cities
with
different
stakeholders
who
had
different
visions
and
priorities
and
I
had
to
balance
the
needs
of
the
organization
while
building
consensus,
and
that
was
a
quality
that
I
exceeded
at
I
have
also
been
responsible
for
budgeting
and
ensuring
that
the
organization
meets
its
financial
goals
advocating
for
Transit
housing,
Workforce
and
economic
development
really
has
been
my
focus
over
the
last
15
years
in
these
initiatives,
I
believe,
are
very
critical
for
a
community
to
be
successful
and
to
thrive
and
I
also
understand
the
needs
of
our
residents.
C
I
had
the
opportunity
and
I
ran
for
Hennepin
County
Commissioner
and
I
learned
from
the
residents
firsthand
themselves
what
was
important
to
them,
what
kept
them
up
at
night
and
issues
like
putting
food
on
the
table
a
roof
over
their
head,
kids,
their
children
having
access
to
Quality,
safe
education,
was
important.
I
also
learned
how
to
run
a
campaign
and
raise
money
and
I
have
to
say.
I
did
a
very
good
job
at
that.
I
have
developed
strong
qualities
of
a
leader,
critical
and
strategic
thinking.
F
C
There
are
two,
the
first
one
being
the
Strategic
plan
and
I
was
involved
with
the
first
strategic
plan
on
Bloomington,
so
I
believe
that
set
the
stage
backdrop.
If
you
will,
for
the
current
plan,
the
core
values
of
the
Strategic
plan
that
relates
to
the
mission
you
know
re.
Ensuring
that
the
community
is
you
know
cultivating
a
great
Community
for
people
to
be
is
something
that
I
think
I
really
encourage
and
I
like
what
the
council
has
done
with
that.
C
The
core
values
shared
responsibility,
you
know
not
being
one-sided,
it
is
both
parties,
it
is
the
residence
it's
the
community
and
it's
the
council
Collective
courage
and
willing
to
take
risks.
Bold
decisions
need
to
be
made
and
the
council
needs
to
make
bold
decisions.
C
The
second
is
the
Small
Business
Development
Center,
and
that's
in
your
district
council
member
Martin
and
with
the
emphasis
on
serving
bypoc
and
women.
Minority
businesses
is
something
I
think
is
great.
Small
business
is
the
fabric
of
our
community
and
we
need
to
ensure
that
there
are
resources
and
assistance
for
them.
C
The
center
does
align
with
the
city's
strategic
plan
with
you
know,
having
great
amenities,
sustainability
and
access
to
all
in
in
diversity
and
inclusion,
and
according
to
the
city's
website,
a
recent
survey
was
conducted
of
businesses
and
the
respondents
came
back
saying
where
it
was
84
percent
that
they
believed
the
creation
of
the
business
center.
Business
incubator
was
a
great
idea.
G
H
What
have
you
contributed
most
to
the
city's
past
successes
and
please
describe
how
you'd
like
to
help
the
city
succeed,
going
forward.
C
Thank
you,
council
member
Nelson
during
my
tenure,
I
was
able
to
engage
on
on
different
levels.
Meeting
with
City
staff,
city,
council
and
Mayors.
C
Also
participating
at
various
Council
meetings
was
something
that
I
I
was
required
to
do
and
was
part
of
of
my
position,
but
also
I've
had
to
build
coalitions
with
people
with
different
political
backgrounds
and
to
work
together
to
make
our
communities
better
for
all
I,
also
volunteered
and
served
on
the
board
of
directors
for
Veep
and
Cornerstone
two
outstanding
non-profits
here
in
our
community
and
our
non-profit
communities
bridge
the
gap
of
our
basic
needs,
such
as
food,
shelter
and
resources,
and
the
city
cannot
provide
these
services
on
their
own.
C
They
need
the
partnership
they
need.
These
part,
these
non-profits,
to
play
a
critical
role
in
serving
our
community
I,
was
appointed
to
the
community
center
task
force
and
we
were
charged
with
coming
up
with
recommendations
for
the
council.
While
the
center
did
not
materialize.
The
work
of
the
committee
still
was
important
and
I
believe
it
will
help
the
city
move
forward
on
this
project.
C
I
also
served
on
the
budget
advisory
committee
in
2020,
and
this
allowed
me
really
to
understand
the
complexities
of
the
city
budget
and
how
the
property
tax
levy
is
set.
This
committee
met
during
covid
and
the
city
had
at
that
time.
The
city
had
many
challenges
due
to
the
loss
of
Revenue
in
the
lodging
tax,
difficult
conversations
were
had
difficult
decisions
were
made,
but
we
gave
and
at
the
end
we
gave
the
council
a
consensus
of
what
needed
to
be
done.
C
A
Thank
you
for
being
here,
Ms
Baylor
appreciate
it
appreciate
your
application
good
to
see
you
this
morning
and
appreciate
your
interest
in
this
open
position.
Great.
M
A
Thank
you
for
your
interest
in
this
position.
Thanks
for
your
application,
I
do
appreciate
it.
We
have
four
questions
that
we're
asking
of
each
of
the
applicants
opportunity
to
get
to
know
you
a
little
bit
better
and
understand
a
little
bit
more
your
interest
in
this
position.
A
We
have
allocated
eight
minutes
for
everyone
to
speak
and
you
can
see
the
the
clock
on
the
wall
we'll
help
you
kind
of
budget
your
time
and
make
sure
that
we
have
the
opportunity
to
ask
and
answer
all
four
of
those
questions,
and
so
we'd
ask
that
you
would
keep
an
eye
on
that
and
we
are
simply
going
to
work
our
way
down
the
desk
here
and
ask
the
questions
in
order
and
council
member
Lowman
is
going
to
kick
us
off
and
he's
going
to
do
that
right
now
so
off
we
go
councilmember
Lowman.
N
Mr
mayor
council
members
good
morning,
hello,
councilmember
Lowman.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
My
name
is
Ted
Moore
I'm,
a
homemaker
and
a
parent
to
two
children
in
Bloomington,
Public
Schools,
one
in
seventh
and
one
in
fourth
grade
a
quality
that
I
think
would
make
me
a
good
city
council
member.
Is
that
I'm
curious
about
how
government
could
better
serve
our
residents
interests
and
I'm
enthusiastic
to
engage
in
dialogue
about
how
best
to
provide
those
Services?
Also
I'm,
collegial
and
I
believe
that
the
best
policy
comes
through
collaboration.
N
N
Thank
you
councilmember
Martin.
For
me,
it
is
sick
and
safe
leave
and
for
three
reasons.
First,
as
the
ordinance
mentions,
an
absence
of
sick
and
safe
leave
has
a
disproportionately
adverse
effect
on
communities
of
color,
low-income
families
and
victims
of
sexual
assault,
domestic
abuse
and
stalking.
This
ordinance
continues
the
council's
mission
to
view
policy
through
the
prisms
of
racial
equity
and
social
justice.
N
N
Finally,
effective
policy
making
sometimes
requires
Regional
action
and
as
Minnesota's
fourth
largest
city
Bloomington,
is
well
positioned
to
act
as
a
leader
and
key
partner
in
Regional
and
Metropolitan
endeavors
by
aligning
with
Minneapolis
and
St
Paul
Bloomington
shows
the
continued
adaptability
and
decisiveness
required
to
be
just
such
a
leader.
Thank
you.
J
G
N
Thank
you,
councilmember
dalessandro,
when
I
think
10
years
out,
I
tend
to
think
of
Redevelopment
projects
and
I.
Think
of
infrastructure.
So
there
are
two
I
would
like
to
highlight.
Today.
First
is
continued
expansion
of
High-Speed
Internet
to
our
residents
and
businesses.
N
This
is
something
that
could
be
as
simple
as
incentives
to
provide
more
private
competition
from
internet
service
providers
such
as
USI
fiber,
but
in
my
dreams
it's
something
bigger,
either
a
public
private
cooperation
to
provide
internet
service
to
our
residents
or
the
city,
acting
as
a
municipal
or
Regional
utility
in
becoming
its
own
internet
service
provider.
Now
I
lack
the
information
to
thoroughly
discuss
the
feasibility
of
such
a
project.
But
feasibility
aside,
the
possibility
is
something
that
I
find
exciting
and
I
think
could
have
a
real
impact
positively
for
our
residents.
N
N
N
The
other
would
be
inspecting
our
infrastructure
to
make
sure
that
it
has
the
capacity
to
handle
the
inflow
of
large
amounts
of
water
during
intense
precipitation,
and
the
third
would
be
some
sort
of
drought
mitigation
strategies.
Two
I
could
think
of
would
be
incentives
to
encourage
residents
to
use
drought,
tolerant
plants
and
Gray
Water
Systems
in
their
home,
gardens
and
another
might
be
the
increased
use
of
living
roofs
to
reduce
our
City's
non-permeable
Services.
N
Thank
you,
councilmember
Nelson.
We
moved
to
Bloomington
in
2020
and
since
then,
most
of
my
time
outside
the
home
has
been
spent
inside
our
children's
schools.
I.
Don't
flatter
myself
enough
to
believe
that
anything
I
contribute
is
critical
to
our
school's
success,
but
I
do
believe
that
parent
involvement
in
our
schools
strengthens
our
community,
and
this
is
something
I
see
with
the
kids
when
I'm
in
the
schools.
They
are
thrilled
to
see
parents
in
the
schools
and
they
always
stop,
and
they
ask
me
who
my
kids
are.
N
I
want
to
yeah
I
want
to
share
in
the
work
I
want
to
help.
This
Council
continue
to
make
certain
that
all
of
our
residents
feel
heard,
feel
seen
and
feel
valued.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration.
A
A
A
Why
don't?
We
just
sit
tight
if
we
could,
maybe
when
we
take
a
quick,
five
minute
recess
officially
and
we'll,
because
we
are
ahead
of
time.
It's
a
10.
40
is
the
next
scheduled
interview
and
it
is
only
10
35.
So
let's
take
a
five
minute
recess
and
we
will
be
back
at
10
40.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
We're
going
to
call
the
the
special
meaning
of
the
Bloomington
city
council
back
into
session.
After
a
brief
adjournment
there
or
a
brief
recess.
Our
final
candidate
appears
to
be
a
no-show
not
going
to
be
with
us
this
morning.
We've
extended
the
time
now
for
three
and
a
half
minutes
past
his
start
time,
and
so
we're
not
expecting
to
see
our
final
candidate.
A
So
officially
we
have
talked
to
18
prospective
candidates.
Applicants
for
the
open
council,
member
at
large
seat
and
I
will
have
to
agree
with
some
of
the
conversation
we've
been
having
that
it's
an
impressive
group
of
people
I'm
very
proud
of
the
the
residents
of
Bloomington
for
coming
out
and
for
putting
throwing
their
hand
into
the
ring
and
being
willing
to
be
part
of
this
process,
and
it's
an
impressive
group
that
we
have
talked
to
over
the
past
couple
of
nights.
A
A
Three
four:
five
I'm,
not
exactly
sure
how
it's
going
to
play
out,
we'll
each
have
an
opportunity
to
vote
for
a
certain
number
and,
as
we
do
with
boards
and
commissions,
we'll
look
for
certain
candidates
who
have
a
majority
of
the
council
at
least
four
members
of
the
council,
voting
in
favor
of
them
and
and
we
will
see
where
we
are
after
a
vote
around
a
voting
or
two
to
see
who
we
move
forward
to
a
second
round
of
interviews.
A
I
think
Matt
has
been
doing
the
the
mathematical
equations
for
us,
and
my
guess
is
that
number
is
going
to
land
somewhere
between.
You
know
three
and
five,
possibly
six
I
can't
imagine.
If
we
get
to
Seven
I,
think
it's
a
complete
Divergence
of
of
opinions
that
we
would
all
have,
but
I
don't
see
that
happening
so
I
think
we're
going
to
end
up
with
a
a
smaller
group
and
then
we're
going
to
bring
that
group
back
for
a
second
interview
and
have
an
opportunity,
whereas
this
was
a
bit
structured.
A
A
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
ask
and
answer
questions
back
and
forth,
maybe
probe
a
bit
deeper
on
some
of
the
answers
that
our
applicants
give
to
the
questions
that
we
have
again
in
an
in
an
effort
and
opportunity
to
learn
more
about
them
to
get
to
know
them
a
bit
better
and
then
ultimately,
former
decisions
as
to
who
we
want
to
appoint
to
the
Council
seat,
so
Council
any
questions
on
that
any
questions
on
the
process
moving
forward,
what
we've
got
next
councilmember
Lowman
well.
E
Thank
you
mayor
for,
for
laying
that
out
and
I
know
with
the
timing
and
all
that
stuff,
we'll
probably
work
that
out,
but
really
what
I
wanted
to
do
was
really
just
thank
you.
You
know
for
your
work
in
terms
of
putting
together
these
questions
here,
I
thought
they
were
well
done.
You
know
I've
I,
I
I've
challenged
you
at
the
at
the
outset,
but
you
know
I
I've,
I
begged
a
different
out
of
my
own
opinion
and
I
also
want
to
I.
E
Know
you'll
probably
do
this
too,
but
want
to
thank
Matt
for
his
work
in
this
process
and
any
other
staff
that
we're
a
part
of
this
and
I
know.
You'll
you'll
do
that,
but
I
want
to
just
thank
you
for
that,
because
this
is
tough
to
get
us
all
together,
arrange.
A
All
this
stuff
yeah
absolutely
and
we're
not
to
the
finish
line
yet,
but
certainly
Matt
brillard
or
our
Council
secretary
has
done
outstanding.
A
We're
Christina
scipione,
our
city
clerk,
who
has
been
out
in
the
hall
and
has
been
working
to
put
this
all
together
and
and
other
members
of
the
city
staff,
also
making
sure
that
we
that
we
put
together
the
right
questions
that
we
stayed
within
the
the
the
the
legal
and
official
limits
that
we
needed
to
do
and
make
sure
that
this
was
a
process
that
we
could
be
very
comfortable
with,
and
we
could
be
sure
that
it's
fair
for
everyone
involved
and
that
we
could
ultimately
end
up
with
the
best
possible
candidate
to
serve
the
residents
of
Bloomington.
A
So
thank
you
for
that
and
thank
you
Matt
and
thank
you
Christine
out
in
the
hall
and
all
others
who
did
work
on
this.
Oh
and
Commander,
Claus
and
also
being
with
us
the
last
couple
of
times.
So
thank
you
so
very
much
Commander
Council
any
additional
questions.
Council,
member
Nelson.
H
Yeah,
thank
you,
mayor
I
am
just
wondering
if
you
have
an
idea
of
how
many
people
we
will
be
voting
on
when
we
get
to
the
meeting
on
Monday
or
if
that
has
yet
to
be
determined.
A
I
think
we
were
back
and
forth
I
think
we
were
thinking
five,
so
everybody
gets
to
to
vote
for
five
to
your
vote
for
your
top
five
and
then
we'll
we'll
tally
those
numbers
to
see
who
makes
their
way
as
I
said,
I
think
we're
going
to
require
at
least
four
votes.
A
We
need
a
majority
of
the
council
to
advance
someone
on
and
I
think
then
my
comfort
would
be
to
play
it
by
ear
to
see
if
we
get
to
a
first
round
of
voting
and
we
have
four
candidates
who
have
reached
the
four
vote
level
and
who
would
we
are
comfortable
moving
forward.
I
think
we
would
move
forward
with
that
and
I
would
be
less
comfortable
if
it
was
one
candidate
or
two
candidates.
A
H
H
Yeah
I
am
I
just
wanted
to.
It
helps
me
prepare
for
that
meeting.
Okay
to
know
what
that
threshold
number
would
be
so
good
and
I
would
also
just
like
to
thank
you
and
and
the
staff
that
was
involved
in
this
process,
as
probably
the
member
that
was
involved
the
last
time
there
was
a
vacancy
and
did
the
interview
process
and
things
like
that,
I
liked
having
the
questions.
So
we
get
the
same
information
from
everyone.
H
I
know
when
I
interviewed
for
the
seat
in
the
similar
circumstances,
it
was
come
in
and
you
know
I
think
I.
We
had
five
minutes
or
something
like
that,
and
we,
we
probably
all
had
very
different
information
that
we
provided
to
the
council
to
make
a
decision
and
having
this
formatted.
This
way,
I
think
is
very
helpful
for
me
to
be
able
to
go
through
and
sort
of
help
narrow
that
down.
So
thank
you
for
the
efforts
to
do
this.
I
think
it
worked
out
very
well.
A
Thank
you
and
I
think
so
as
well.
I
think
this
was
a
solid
first
round
of
interviews
and
I.
Think
we've
all
been
involved
in
interviewing
in
the
past
and
I
think
this
is
I
I
feel
good
about
what
we've
done
over
the
past
couple
of
days.
Sandra.
G
Just
one
of
one
other
person
that
hasn't
been
given
at
Kudos
and
that's
Grant
in
the
booth
back.
A
G
Who
came
in
on
a
Saturday
to
help
us
out
with
this
too,
which
is
you
know,
probably
not
in
his
job
description,
but
nonetheless
very
much
appreciated,
so
that
we
could
be
transparent
and
publicly
available.
So.
A
Thanks
absolutely
thank
you
grant
so
Council
moving
forward.
I
know:
we've
we've
been
a
bit
partial
here,
I
know:
councilmember
Nelson
wasn't
able
to
join
us
the
other
evening.
I
know
councilmember
Carter
is
not
here.
Another
I
think
benefit
of
the
way
we've
set
this
up
in
the
way
we
have
done
this.
It's
this
information.
These
interviews
are
easily
accessible
and
I
would
encourage.
A
All
of
you
make
sure
that
you
go
through
your
notes
again:
go
go
through
and
watch
the
the
candidates
again
and
get
a
second
and
third,
perhaps
impression
of
them
and
fill
in
some
of
the
blanks
and
the
fact
that
it
is
available
on
YouTube
I
know
it
makes
it
easy
for
everybody
to
do
so,
and
it
gives
everybody
the
equal
opportunity
and
members
of
the
community
I'd
encourage
you
to
do
the
same.
A
If
not
counselor,
look
for
a
motion
to
adjourn
this
special
meeting
of
the
city
council
motion
by
council
member
dalessandro,
second
by
council
member
Martin
to
adjourn
this
morning.
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
motion,
carries
six.
Excuse
me:
five.
Zero!
Thank
you
much
for
your
participation
this
morning,
Council
thanks
for
coming
out
on
a
Saturday
morning,
I
appreciate
it
thanks
all.
