Bloomington Minnesota City Council Meeting
A

A
We
will
keep
working
on
those
and
with
that
we
can
move
on
to
item
5.1,
which
is
our
coven
19
organization
and
public
health
update.
Since
mid-march
we've
been
having
updates
at
each
of
our
meetings
on
the
latest
for
covet
19
here
in
the
city
of
bloomington,
so
I'd
like
to
introduce
now
dr
nick
kelly,
who
will
give
us
our
latest
update
on
coven
19..
G
G
G
G
G
For
hospitalization
our
mean
age
of
case
is
57.6.
When
we
look
at
race
and
ethnicity,
47
percent
of
our
cases
are
in
the
bipoc
community.
We
see
a
disproportionate
impact
in
our
black
community
with
hospitalization,
with
31
percent
of
hospitalized
cases,
while
representing
about
nine
percent
of
the
city's
population
for
deaths,
our
mean
age
is
78.9.
G
G
G
G
This
is
our
most
important
thing
we
can
be
doing.
We
need
to
focus
on
limiting
our
time.
In
crowded
places
confined
and
enclosed
spaces
and
those
where
we're
having
that
prolonged,
close
contact,
everyone
should
be
using
a
face
covering
as
source
control
in
indoor
environments
open
to
the
public
as
directed
by
executive
order,
2081
and
staying
home
when
feeling
unwell.
G
We
must
strive
to
be
doing
better
with
these
strategies
and
continue
to
focus
on
dropping
our
average
cases
per
day.
Covet
19
is
changing
many
things,
but
it
doesn't
have
to
change
how
our
community
responds.
Our
physical
distance
doesn't
have
to
mean
social
isolation.
We're
going
to
get
through
this
together.
Our
community
is
full
of
kind
and
helpful
neighbors.
A
I
do
have
a
question
we
might
address
this
a
bit
later,
dr
kelly,
but
I
did
want
to
ask
you
now.
Obviously,
the
statewide
mask
mandate
went
into
effect
over
the
weekend.
Do
we
have
any
reports
any
of
complaints
or
concerns
from
folks
in
bloomington
about
people
not
following
the
mass
mandate?
Do
we
have
you
heard.
G
A
E
A
A
H
Well,
my
question
was
related
to
what
you
asked
about
the
face
masks
and
I
know
we
have
a
public
hearing
later
tonight
and
I
just
thought
it
might
be
nice
to
if
that
is
not
something
we're
gonna
act
on.
Let
people
know
that
are
here
for
that
item
early
in
the
meeting.
I
don't
know
if
we
will
take
action
or
not,
but
with
what
the
governor
did.
I
don't
know
that
it's
pertinent.
A
So
my
thought,
my
plan
on
the
hearing
that's
later
and
that
is
item
item
8.6,
which
is
a
public
hearing
regarding
requiring
face
coverings
in
in
minnesota.
Obviously,
with
the
governor's
declaration
over
the
weekend,
it
it
makes
bloomington's
work
here
somewhat
redundant.
My
plan
was,
I
was
going
to
open
the
public
hearing.
We
were
going
to
take
public
comment
on
this
and
let
people
express
their
opinions
one
way
or
another
understanding.
Of
course,
we
are
under
a
statewide
mandate
and
following
the
governor's
orders
on
this,
my
plan
then
was
to
table
this
indefinitely.
A
So
we'll
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
we'll
take
public
comment
and
input.
We
would
then
close
the
public
hearing.
Then
my
thought
was
to
table
this
indefinitely
on
on
the
on
the
chance
that
if,
if
we
would
need
to
readdress
this
in
the
future,
for
some
reason
we've
held
a
public
hearing
on
it,
we
we've
it
affects
how
we
would
have
to
notice
it
and
so
on.
So
that's
my
thought
for
that.
Coming
up.
Yes,
obviously
it's
with
with
a
statewide
mandate.
I
A
If
we
could,
can
we
just
do
a
quick,
sound
check
for
everybody
just
to
make
sure
where
everybody
has
got
their
microphones
on
and
working
if
we
could
just
go
one
at
a
time
if
ms
christensen,
if
you
could
have
everybody,
just
just
everybody,
say
your
name
just
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
sound
working
for
everybody.
If
you
could
do
that
and
as
mrs
christensen
calls
you.
A
So
we're
having
trouble
hearing
councilmember
nelson
here
in
the
chambers.
Can
everybody
else
hear
him
okay,
or
is
he
still
low
on
okay
yeah
we're
having
trouble
here
in
the
chambers?
Maybe
we
need
to
turn
up
a
little
bit
here
in
the
chambers
and
see
okay,
all
right
if
everybody
could
just
keep
that
in
mind
moving
forward
here
and
if,
if
there
are
ongoing
issues,
if
you
just
raise
your
hand
or
bring
them
up
and
we'll
see
what
we
can
do
to
adjust
them
next
on
the
agenda,
it's
a
timed
item.
A
Item
8.7,
which
is
ranked
choice,
voting
ballot
questions-
and
this
is
a
timed
item
and
I
think
we're
within
our
time
here
to
to
be
able
to
take
this
up.
As
you
all
know,
we've
we've
been
at
this
for
a
while.
We
had
a
public
hearing
back
on
may
18th
and
the
city
council
unanimously
approved
the
adoption
of
an
ordinance
calling
for
a
ballot
question
to
amend
the
city
charter
and
adopt
rank
choice,
voting
for
municipal
elections
in
bloomington.
A
It
then
went
to
the
charter,
commission,
I
think,
on
june
11th
and
with
the
10
members
at
the
charter.
Commission
it
tied
in
a
5-5
vote,
and
so
it
was
not
accepted
or
rejected,
and
the
charter
commission
then
met
again
on
I'm
getting
my
dates
here.
June
29th
and
excuse
me
july
9th.
The
charter
commission
met
and
the
charter
commission
actually
voted
to
not
accept
the
language
put
forth
by
the
city
council
in
terms
of
a
ranked
choice.
Voting
ballot
question:
the
charter
commission
is
a
is
an
advisory
commission.
A
Their
role
is
advisory
to
the
city
council
and
at
our
last
study
session,
the
council
made
the
decision
to
continue
to
move
forward.
Despite
the
charter
commission's
recommendation
and
the
city
council
not
only
decided
to
move
forward,
but
then
also
agreed
on
a
ballot
question
that
we'll
be
deciding
on
tonight,
whether
or
not
to
approve
a
ballot
question
to
go
on
the
november
ballot.
A
A
A
In
fact,
it's
not
we've
had
the
public
hearings
required
for
this
and
a
number
of
different
public
hearings
both
at
the
charter
commission
and
here
at
the
city
council
and,
as
I
said,
we've
we've
received
a
number
of
of
communications
and
a
great
deal
of
feedback
from
residents
on
this
so
council.
I
would
look
for
discussion
on
this
and
or
eventually
a
motion
to
move
forward
or
to
not
move
forward
with
placing
ranked
choice.
Voting
as
a
ballot
question
here
on
the
november
ballot
council
member
colter.
J
K
K
The
city
currently
conducts
a
primary
in
august
of
the
odd-numbered
years,
and
that
primary
is
specifically
for
the
purpose
of
narrowing
the
field
of
candidates
for
the
office
of
mayor
and
city
council
to
two
for
each
seat.
If
the
city
were
to
use
the
rank
choice,
voting
method,
that
primary
would
no
longer
be
needed.
K
We
estimate
that
the
primary
cost
us
just
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
hundred
and
one
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
is
our
estimate
of
the
cost
of
running
that
primary
in
odd
numbered
years.
So
we
would
have
that
savings
of
just
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
if
rank
choice.
Voting
were
adopted
because
we
would
no
longer
conduct
that
primary
in
the
first
year.
We
believe
that
we
would
have
a
few
increased
costs.
However,
they
are
small
and
they
would
no
way
kind
of
eat
up
all
of
the
savings.
K
K
So
our
net
anticipated
savings
in
2021
would
be
seventy
five
thousand
dollars,
and
then
we
expect
we
would
see
the
full
savings
of
about
a
hundred
and
one
thousand
dollars
in
future
odd-numbered
years.
This
is
in
every
other
year's
savings
because
it
alters
our
election
process
only
in
the
municipal
election
years.
A
Thank
you
councilmember
coulter,
and
does
that
answer
your
questions
that
clarify
things
so
roughly
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
savings
upfront
costs
would
be
about
fifteen
thousand
in
education,
fifteen
hundred
to
reprogram
some
voting
machines
and
another
ten
thousand
dollars
in
training.
So
a
net
gain
in
the
first
year
of
about
seventy
five
thousand
and
then
in
coming
odd
number
of
years
would
be
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
saving.
Does
that
answer
the
questions
you
were
being
asked
or
looking
for.
A
B
A
Thank
you,
member
council
members.
I
said
earlier,
I
think
I
said
incorrectly
during
my
council
minute
that
this
was
a
public
hearing
and
I
may
have
given
people
the
wrong
impression
there
or
I
flat
out,
said
it
incorrectly
and
it
is
not.
I
don't
know
if
the
if
it's
a
required-
or
this
is
a
discretionary
public
hearing,
since
we
have
had
at
least
two
public
hearings
on
this
in
the
past,
and
so
I
would
turn
either
to
ms
wilson,
or
I
believe
mr
verbruge
is
now
on
the
phone
with
us.
A
K
K
B
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
then,
as
a
follow-up-
and
this
is
not
for
tonight,
but
for
future
items.
To
avoid
that
confusion,
we
should
have
some
type
of
annotation
on
the
agenda
so
that
we
don't
have
presumption
that
because
it
falls
on
section
eight,
which
are
typically
the
public
hearings
at
this
time
will
not
have
a
public
hearing.
So
a
comment
going
forward.
Thank
you.
A
And
I
would
agree
with
you,
council,
member
baloga,
because
the
heading
is
hearings,
resolutions
and
ordinances.
I
think
anything
underneath
that
we
just
assume
yeah
that'll,
be
it
would
be
a
hearing,
and
but
that
wouldn't
be
the
case
here.
I
I
understand
your
concerns
and
agree
with
you.
There,
council,
member
martin.
F
Thank
you
very
much
mayor,
just
real
quick.
I
I've
heard
from
some
folks
that
are
just
kind
of
interested
to
learn
more
about
ranked
choice.
Voting
generally,
I'm
sure
there'll
be
proponents
and
opponents
out
there
in
social
media
over
the
next
few
months,
but
to
the
voter
education
materials
that
were
mentioned
earlier
by
staff.
What
can
residents,
who
are
just
curious
to
learn
more
expect
to
come
from
the
city
kind
of
what
channels
that
may
be
through
and
generally
what
information
will
be
providing.
K
K
We
will
also
be
using
the
monthly
briefing
to
get
information
out,
as
well
as
our
social
media
accounts,
to
draw
people's
attention
to
the
city's
website,
where
they
can
find
more
information,
as
you've
indicated.
I
also
expect
there
will
be
opponents
and
proponents
of
this
proposal
that
are
trying
to
reach
voters
in
the
community.
J
A
D
Thank
you
mayor.
I
do
have
a
comments
mate,
but
first
I
do
have
a
question
and
I
think
there
was
some
confusion
also
in
some
of
the
emails
that
we
got
today
from
residents,
thinking
that
this
was
going
to
be
a
question
on
the
primary
ballot,
and
I
just
want
to
confirm
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
question
on
the
november
ballot.
Only.
A
I
think
that's
that's
that's
important
and
the
clarification
again.
This
will
be
on
the
november
ballot
and
it's
also
important
that
the
decision
we're
making
tonight
is
not
thumbs
up
or
thumbs
down
on
ranked
choice.
Voting
the
decision
we're
making
is
whether
or
not
to
put
it
on
the
ballot
to
give
the
citizens
of
bloomington
the
choice
whether
or
not
to
adopt
ranked
choice
voting.
So
I
think
there's
some
confusion
there
as
well,
and
and
maybe
some
misinformation
going
on
about
exactly
what
we're
talking
about
tonight.
J
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
for
that
comment
as
well.
I
think
that's
that's
a
really
important
clarification.
You
know
it
may
surprise
some
folks
to
learn
that
I
am
not
in
love
with
ranked
choice.
Voting.
In
fact,
the
very
first
conversation
I
had
as
a
council
member
with
a
resident
about
it
actually
got
pretty
intense.
J
I
don't
believe
it's
the
end-all
and
be-all,
and
I
will
admit
that
some
of
the
claims
I've
heard
about
it
can't
be
backed
up.
I
will
freely
admit
that
it's
not
a
perfect
system,
but
there
will
there
is
not
and
will
never
be,
a
perfect
system,
and
we
need
to
be
clear
that
the
system
that
we
have
right
now
is
far
from
perfect.
When
I
was
elected
the
primary
to
determine
who
would
be
on
the
november
ballot
had
about
seven
percent
turnout,
fewer
than
3
700
votes.
J
And
you
know,
I
think
it's
perfectly
fair
to
raise
the
question
of.
If
this
is
the
right
time,
and
I
guess
I
would
just
say
that
if
folks
can
elect
a
president
members
of
congress
and
state
legislators
in
a
pandemic,
they
can
make
a
decision
on
one
ballot
question
and
there
may
well
be
folks
who
either
aren't
able
to
learn
enough
or
just
can't
decide,
and
they
have
an
option
too
simply
not
voting
on
the
question
not
voting
it
at
all
does
not
affect
the
results
in
any
way.
J
Now
I
want
to
be
clear
that
I'm
not
advocating
that
people
don't
vote,
but
the
fact
is
that
the
only
way
this
question
will
pass
is,
if
more
than
51
of
the
people
who
take
the
time
to
vote
on
it
vote.
Yes,
this
conversation
has
not
been
rushed,
is
not
been
sprung
on
anyone
at
the
last
minute.
It's
been
mentioned
before
that
rain
choice.
Voting
was
discussed
quite
frequently
during
the
campaign
last
year.
J
In
addition
to
the
multiple
public
meetings
on
it
this
year,
minneapolis
has
used
it
for
more
than
a
decade
and
st
paul
nearly
as
long
I'd
also
point
out,
as
was
just
mentioned,
we
have
a
primary
in
two
weeks.
There
are
congressional
legislative
and
county
races
that
won't
have
their
november
ballot
sent
set
until
then,
including
some
right
here
in
bloomington
as
of
tomorrow.
We
have
98
days
more
than
three
months
until
election
day.
J
J
J
Given
that
I
feel
completely
comfortable
putting
this
decision
in
the
hands
of
bloomington
voters,
they
may
approve
it.
They
may
not
that's
the
nature
of
democracy
and
I'm
perfectly
prepared
to
accept
it
either
way
it
just
it.
Sometimes.
It
sounds
to
me
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
some
folks
seem
to
be
arguing
that
we
can't
trust
voters
to
make
up
their
own
minds
that
bloomington
voters
will
be
so
overwhelmed
or
confused
or
horn
swaggled,
that
we
can't
even
put
the
question
before
them,
and
I
just
don't
buy
that.
Let's
let
bloomington
vote.
A
D
Carter,
thank
you
mayor.
I
had
put
my
hand
down,
but
I'm
I'm
happy
to
make
comments
really
quickly.
I'm
not
gonna
talk
at
length
because
we've
had
multiple
conversations
on
ranked
choice,
voting
and
putting
it
on
the
ballot
over
several
council
meetings
and,
as
you
mentioned,
have
public
hearings
and
as
council
member
colter
just
mentioned.
You
know
it's
been
a
conversation
happening
for
over
a
year
in
bloomington.
D
B
B
Following
this
statement,
several
weeks
later,
rain
choice
voting
was
brought
up
since
the
city
council
made
this
commitment
and
is
now
breaking
its
promise
to
the
constituents
of
the
city
I'm
unable
to
support
it.
I
do
not
argue
the
points
made
by
other
council
members.
I
am
merely
stating
my
principled
opposition
to
it
and
again
it's
not
either
that
I
am
opposed
to
or
would
support
wrong
choice
voting.
It's
just
my
principles
when
we
say
we're
not
going
to
do
something
and
then
later
do
it.
E
E
Give
it
off
top
my
head
here.
What
I'll
say
is
this.
This
is
certainly
an
important
issue
that
we
face
before
the
city.
First
of
all,
what
I'd
like
to
say
is
process
and
procedure
is
incredibly
important
as
this
thing
started.
You
know.
Certainly
we
worked
hard
to
you
know.
As
other
council
members
have
said,
this
is
not
a
brand
new
issue.
That's
come
before
this
council.
We
were
running
in
the
last
election.
It
was
there
even
before
that
election
actually,
conversation
was
held.
E
Regarding
this
topic,
we've
had
a
series
of
procedural
and
process
blunders
along
the
way.
One
of
the
things
I
like
about
what
we
did
tonight
is
we
may
review.
We
moved
this
towards
the
front
of
the
meeting
so
that
people
could
see
that
what
we
were
talking
about.
You
know
a
couple
meetings
back
when
this
first
came
up.
It
was
kind
of
late
at
night,
and
then
we
had
the
debacle
with
our
our
charter
commission
meeting.
E
Then
it
then
actually
failed
in
the
charter
commission
meeting,
and
there
was
certainly
some
confusion
about
this.
You
know
process
and
how
you
get
things
across.
You
know
has
a
part
of
you
part
of
integrity
and
how
how
we're
seen
as
an
institution
you
know.
Unfortunately,
you
know
I
even
thought
today
we
had
a
public
hearing,
and
so,
if
there's
some
folks
that
are
are
there
and
you
think
that
they
believe
that
they'll
be
able
to
address
the
council
and
be
able
to
address.
E
Will
we
get
a
get
a
fair
vote,
or
will
we
have
some
folks
who
will
simply
say
to
themselves?
I
I
can't
support
this
because
of
the
process,
and
I
just
think
that,
if
there's
anything
that
we
can
do
kind
of
moving
forward,
that
we
can
learn
from
these
circumstances
in
these
situations
is
just
that
we
are
are
careful
that
we
make
sure
that
the
integrity
of
the
process
is
is
followed.
So
that
would
be
my
my
first
point:
we
had
a
commission
meeting
with
the
charter
commission
and
they
voted.
E
E
On
the
other
hand,
folks
argue
that
you
know
you've
known
this
was
coming
all
along,
but
one
could
make
the
argument
that
you
didn't
know
the
specific
question
that
you
were
disagreeing
with
those
two
things
as
a
as
a
person
who
wants
to
have
everyone's
opinions
and
points
of
views
be
able
to
have
that
the
free
rate
certainly
are
things
that
weigh
on
me.
On
the
other
hand,
of
the
of
the
of
the
question
is
the
timing.
E
There's
been
a
tremendous
amount
of
work-
that's
been
put
into
this
by
the
group
that's
advocating
for
this,
and
so,
if
we
were
to
delay
that
vote
for
four
years
to
take
that
vote,
that
would
also
be
a
travesty.
So
I
I
look
at
both
these
things
and
I
think
that
what
it
all
spins
down
to
me
is
that
you
know
we
have
got
to
in
my
opinion.
As
a
council
member,
we
need
to
do
a
better
job
of
how
we
handle
and
how
we
move
these
things
through
their
controversial.
E
It's
tricky
for
me,
because
I
I
do
believe
that
if
we
were
to
pass
this
and
the
residents
of
bloomington
were
to
pass
this,
that
this
would
be
beneficial
to
me,
and
so
that's
problematic
for
me
in
terms
of
trying
to
trying
to
trying
to
support
this
understanding
that,
but
knowing
that
this
is
going
forward
and
having
the
residents
of
bloomington
to
be
able
to
decide
what
they
want
to
do.
I
think
that
you
need
to
to
keep
all
of
those
things
in
mind
as
you're.
E
Looking
at
this
decision
around
ranked
choice
voting.
Certainly,
I've
got
my
opinions
about
about
this
process
and
how
we
followed
it
and
what's
happened
and
taking
place
here,
and
I
think
you've
got
to
decide
what
you
think
is
right
and
what
you
believe
is
right
if
this
is
the
right
process
by
which
that
you
want
to
support
things
coming
through
our
council
or
or
something
else,
certainly,
there's
merit
here
with
looking
at
rank
choice
voting.
E
Certainly
there
are
some
concerns
about
those
folks
who,
when
the
voting
comes
up
in
terms
of
moralities
and
those
types
of
things,
but
certainly
I'm
looking
forward
to
having
those
discussions
if
we
were
to
pass
this
and
the
voters
of
bloomington
were
to
put
this
through
the
past.
So
with
that
being
said,
I'm
looking
forward
to
taking
the
vote
and
and
moving
on
to
the
next
stage
of
this
process.
F
Thank
you
very
much
I'll,
try
not
to
repeat
too
much
of
what's
been
said
here,
but
for
me
personally-
and
I
mentioned
this
in
our
last
study
session.
While
I
appreciate
how
the
charter
commission
dug
in
on
this
and
expressed
some
concerns,
which
I'm
assuming
led
to
another
declination
to
support
it,
I
just
simply
don't
agree
with
a
lot
of
concerns
that
were
moved
forward
and
in
to
the
timing
point.
F
I
want
as
many
bloomington
resident
eyeballs
on
this
as
possible
and
leveraging
what's
going
to
be,
I'm
sure
a
supercharged
presidential
election
coming
up
is
one
way
to
to
make
sure
that
happens.
I
I
also
I
I
have
heard
concerns
from
folks.
That
said
well,
the
opponents
on
this
matter
haven't
been
nearly
as
organized
the
folks
that
are
in
favor
of
this
have
been
out
for
years
now,
and
I
guess
I
don't
want
when
the
city
is
not
supposed
to
be
advocating
for
one
side
of
the
other.
F
To
this,
I
don't
want
to
insert
ourselves
as
the
avatar
of
deciding
what
organizational
group
is
better
prepared
than
another.
My
calculation
at
this
point
is:
has
there
been
an
overwhelming
call
from
residents
from
my
constituents
to
be
able
to
weigh
in
on
this?
And
yes,
there
has
been
one
side
of
the
other
of
where
that
goes
is
not
my
purview.
A
I
I
I
appreciate
that
councilmember
malone.
I
think
I
know
that
our
city
attorney
would
like
to
to
clarify
at
least
one
of
the
points
made
and
if,
if
we
get
to
that,
when
we
get
to
council
member
carter,
if
she
would
like
to
make
the
motion,
we
certainly
could
ms
manderscheid
did
you
want
to
make
a
correction
or
a
clarification
to
one
of
the
points
made
earlier.
A
Thank
you
just
make
sure
everything
is
consistent.
I
appreciate
that
that's
good.
I
just
wanted
to
weigh
in
so
we've
regarding
what
was
said
back
in
in
march.
I
remember
the
discussion.
I
honestly
don't
remember
who
said
what
I
may
have
said
that
we
weren't
moving
forward,
and
somebody
may
correct
me
if
I
say
that
I
didn't,
I
honestly
don't
know.
I
don't
think
I
did
because,
but
for
whatever
reason,
so
we
said
that
in
mid-march
and
then
in
mid-may
after
a
public
hearing,
we
voted
7-0
to
move
this
forward.
A
A
No,
let's
put
the
brakes
on
what
we're
doing
here.
As
a
council,
I
mean
just
within
the
past
few
weeks,
we
we
put
a
year-long
moratorium
on
on
storage
facilities,
which
was
a
huge
lift
for
staff.
There
was
a
lot
of
work
for
staff.
We
chose
to
move
forward
on
that
because
we
thought
it
was
an
important
thing
to
move
forward
on
our
lindell
avenue
project
that
we're
working
on.
We,
we
instructed
snap
to
continue
to
move
forward
on
it.
A
A
So
there's
there's
a
lot,
that's
gone
into
this
and
there
has
been
discussion
at
the
at
the
council
level
and
for
the
most
part,
there
has
been
unanimous
or
near
unanimous
support
at
the
council
level
for
the
votes
that
we
have
taken
on
this,
and
so
that
brings
us
to
where
we
are
here
tonight
and
council.
I
look
for
action,
one
way
or
another
on
this.
Unless
there
are
additional
comments
or
questions,
councilmember
carter.
A
A
A
So
the
public
education
piece
will
begin
just
as
quickly
as
possible
from
the
city's
perspective,
trying
to
explain
and
help
people
understand
what
ranked
choice
voting
is
and
what
it
isn't
again,
as
has
been
stated
from
an
advocacy
role,
this
that's
not
the
role
of
the
of
the
city.
We
will
not
advocate
one
way
or
another,
but
it
is
it's
an
information
and
an
educational
role
by
the
city.
A
F
A
A
F
Thank
you
very
much
mayor,
so
the
city
has
received
a
variety
of
donations
over
the
past
few
weeks.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
everybody
for
contributing
to
the
community
and
shout
out
a
couple
in
particular
looks
like
enterprise
products
incorporated
with
500
n95
masks
provided
to
our
community
outreach
engagement,
division,
hennepin,
south
services
collaborative
and
their
support
for
our
public
health
team.
F
Additionally,
the
minneapolis
foundation
for
providing
some
funding
to
help
with
census,
2020
awareness
and
just
another
quick
good
job
to
our
community
for
being
ahead
of
the
ball
on
that
one
and
then
just
a
variety
of
donations
to
the
bloomington
police
department.
I
saw
some
from
girl
scouts,
sam's
club
golden
walk,
jimmy
johns
various
churches
and
many
residents.
So
I
just
wanted
to
thank
everybody
in
such
a
kind
of
a
complicated
covid
situation
for
pulling
together
and
making
sure
our
staff
and
our
department
have
what
they
need.
A
A
A
Motion
carries
7-0.
Thank
you
much
thanks,
councilmember
martin
for
taking
care
of
consent
for
us
this
evening.
We
can
move
on
to
item
number
seven,
which
is
our
public
comment
period
and
7.1,
which
is
a
response
to
prior
meetings.
Public
comments,
mr
verbrugee,
who
typically
would
be
sitting
about
five
seats
away
from
me,
I
think
was
he
was
originally
over
at
the
rotary
presentation
on
race
and
equality
and
that,
I
believe,
was
I
had
some
car
trouble
and
so
we've
got
him
remotely
and
we'll
turn
it
over.
Mr
verbruggie,
are
you
there.
M
M
M
M
Mr
anderson
also
had
some
concerns
about
the
composition
of
the
port
authority
and
that
the
mayor
and
council
member
have
seats
on
the
port
authority
feeling
that
that's
a
conflict
and
it's
important
to
note
that
the
creation
of
the
port
authority
allows
for
the
for
the
part
for
the
body
itself
to
have
two
members
of
the
city
council.
Represented
has
been
that
way.
A
Thank
you,
mr
verrugi,
with
that
we
can
move
to
item
7.2,
which
is
our
public
comment
period,
which
is
a
20-minute
period,
where
we
take
public
comment
on
items
not
on
tonight's
agenda,
as
we
have
done
in
the
past,
everyone
will
have
five
minutes
to
speak
and
we
will
not
be
responding
at
this
meeting.
We
will
put.
We
will
respond
at
our
next
meeting,
as
mr
verbi
just
did
to
any
questions
or
comments
or
specific
items
that
you
have.
A
So
we
we
have,
as
I
said,
20
minutes
five
minutes
each
and
I
believe
we've
got
two
people
who
have
called
in
ahead
of
time.
Danielle
garbina
called
in,
and
I
believe
andrew
thule
called
in
as
well
saying
that
they
wanted
to
be
part
of
public
comment.
So,
ms
wilson,
can
you
help
us
make
that
connection
I'll.
O
Okay,
great
so
I'm
calling
tonight
about
public
comment.
Public
comment
during
council
meetings
is
needed
so
that
the
concerns
of
bloomington
residents
can
be
heard.
The
offer
to
hear
residents
before
a
city
council
meeting
is
a
great
idea,
but
not
at
the
expense
of
not
being
seen
and
heard
during
a
council
meeting.
Some
residents
might
prefer
to
speak
before
a
council
meeting,
but
others
might
have
information
that
the
general
public
should
hear
be
it
calling
in
or
in
person
and
other
might
have
information.
O
All
bloomington
residents
should
hear
that
the
city
protects
low
density
neighborhoods
in
other
areas
of
bloomington,
such
as
the
neighborhood
on
the
west
side
of
35w
near
life
church.
The
city
has
limited
life.
Church
students,
population
to
135,
students
and
staff,
stated
in
an
email
that
if
the
school
population
was
expanded,
it
would
not
be
it
would
not
in
quotes
be
possible
without
the
place
of
assembly
using
vacating
end
quote.
O
O
Removing
public
comment
during
the
city
council
meetings
does
not
meet
the
new
transparency
pillar.
If
there
are
people
who
are
not
comfortable
speaking
in
front
of
the
council
during
public
comment,
then
there
are
other
solutions
such
as
offering
to
have
staff
or
city
council
member,
read
citizens,
emails
or
a
lot
of
residents
to
call
in,
but
do
not
remove
public
comment
during
the
council
meeting
taking
public
comment
away
is
not
being
transparent
again.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
N
Hey
I'd
like
to
actually
talk
about
the
poor
communication
that
I've
personally
witnessed
in
this
city.
Recently,
I
sent
a
letter
on
july
21st
to
mr
tim
bussey,
and
this
is
kind
of
what
the
letter
went.
I'm
writing
this
letter.
In
response
to
your
recent
study
session,
where
you
stated,
I
usually
advise
the
council
to
follow
charter
recommendations.
N
The
charter
not
only
voted
once
in
the
commission
but
voted
twice,
and
it
was
a
no
vote
each
time
in
the
democracy
I
live
in.
You
only
get
one
vote
and
not
a
redo,
to
push
for
the
proper
outcome
of
the
vote
for
y'all
to
continue
to
push
for
changing
our
voting
system
without
a
true
cost
study,
and
that
cost
study
happened
to
actually
come
tonight
during
the
council
meeting
without
due
diligence
that
study
this
is
fundamentally
wrong,
especially
during
the
pandemic
and
the
potential
shortfall
in
our
tax
system.
N
You
should
allow
more
forms
of
communication,
not
less
in
great,
in
embracing
the
seventh
pillar
of
transparency
and
engagement
that
you
guys
have
been
working
on
tim,
be
a
man
of
your
work,
a
word
and
allow
more
forms
of
communication,
and
not
less
so,
basically
lead
by
example,
as
of
today.
Tim
has
yet
to
acknowledge
my
email
on
july
21st,
and
I
want
to
say
that
many
others
have
reached
out
to
to
mayor
and
other
council
members
and
that
received
communications
back,
which
is
really
wrong
of
an
elected
official.
N
So
no
communications
back
is
just
really
sad
on
july
6,
I
also
spoke
of
concerns
over
at
smith
park
and
it
was
a
car
parked
on
a
bike
lane,
and
I
had
to
call
that
emergency.
Mr
patrick
martin
emailed
me
during
the
council
meeting
on
july
6
saying
that
he
would
follow
up
with
me.
I'm
still
waiting
for
that
follow-up.
I
just
want
to
know
that
this
is
very
commonplace
amongst
their
residents,
not
to
get
emails
back
on
things
that
actually
concern
the
people.
N
So
these
are
just
two
examples
where,
where
one
resident
myself
did
not
receive
communications
from
our
elected
officials-
and
I
assure
you-
I'm
not
the
only
one
saying
this
in
this
community-
so
please
embrace
your
seventh
pillar
of
transparency,
engagement
and
start
to
start
to
get
back
to
your
constituents.
Your
people
that
live
in
this
city,
as
you
guys
know,
I've
been
here
for
48
years
and
mr
burbrugge
in
the
next
public
comment.
N
N
K
N
P
P
There
are
large
blocks
of
rooms
in
many
motels
and
hotels
that
were
contracted
and
from
what
I
understand
paid
for
by
various
churches
and
hennepin
county
from
what
I
understand.
The
city
of
bloomington
has
received
no
funds
for
this
endeavor.
I
wonder
if
these
groups
are
going
to
continue
to
contract
motels
for
quote-unquote
permanent
housing.
P
All
bloomington
police
calls
have
been
related
to
that
area
where
they
are
contracted
for
temporary
housing.
I
understand
that
businesses
and
residents
all
along
those
areas
have
been
burdened
and
have
been
calling
police
and
strongly.
We
are
encouraging
them
to
start
account
attending
these
city
council
meetings
and
then
I
would
also
like
to
just
address
that.
It
is
very
sad
that
there
was
no
to
my
knowledge.
N
C
C
My
next
topic
is
back
on
the
hotels
and
the
homeless,
people
that
have
been
put
in
our
city.
My
friends
live
over
off
of
lindale
and
their
kids
are
no
longer
able
to
ride
their
bikes
around
the
block,
because
there's
alcohol
bottles
empty
bottles
all
over
the
place.
I'm
going
to
start
by
just
asking
mr
verbergy.
C
N
P
All
right
good
evening,
mayor
buffy
and
council
members
again,
my
name
is
becky
stromeyer,
I'm
the
co-chair
of
the
bloomington
patriots
and
one
of
the
organizers
for
the
back
to
blue
event
that
was
held
at
civic
plaza
over
the
weekend.
I
want
to
first
of
all
thank
mr
lohman
for
stopping
by
to
show
his
support
for
our
wonderful
police
department
here
in
bloomington.
P
P
We
also
hosted
a
lemonade
stand
which
raised
seven
hundred
dollars
for
kevin
tran
who,
as
you
all
know,
was
shot
during
an
armed
robbery
here
in
bloomington,
he's
a
small
business
owner,
a
friend
to
all
and
truly
a
beloved
member
of
our
community.
On
behalf
of
the
bloomington
patriots,
we
wish
him
all
the
best
in
his
continued
recovery
and
look
forward
to
seeing
penn
lake
roast
beef
back
open
for
business.
Soon.
P
N
C
Is
russell
bernerson
welcome,
mayor,
bussey
and
console
I
just
got.
I
don't
have
a
prepared
statement
like
the
rest
of
the
people
did
earlier
tonight,
I'm
just
speaking
from
the
heart
here.
I
agree
with
jack
on
like
this
rcv
and
process
and
all
this
stuff.
It
seems
like
if
we
don't
agree
with
what
the
city
council
wants,
were
kind
of
shut
out
and
I've
seen
that
for
the
last
15
years.
C
A
A
C
D
A
N
A
A
E
It
has
to
do
with
just
a
point
of
order,
just
just
a
recommendation
to
the
chair
just
to
make
this
move
a
little
faster.
Whatever
does
it
make
sense
to
open
some
of
these
public
hearings
jointly
8.2
and
8.3
moving
forward,
so
we
could
get
through
those
a
little
quicker
just
just
just
want
to
throw
that
out
there
as
a
possibility.
A
Appreciate
that
I
think
we'll
we'll
stick
with
the
agenda
for
this
evening.
I
think
I
appreciate
that
we'll
look
at
that
in
the
future.
I
think
generally,
we
try
and
keep
them
as
separate
as
we
can,
but
for
this
evening
we
will
move
it
forward.
So
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
close
the
public
hearing,
no
further
discussion.
Ms
christensen.
A
A
A
C
A
N
A
A
E
A
A
C
A
A
A
A
A
D
A
A
A
A
Motion
carries
7-0.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
mr
junker,
for
getting
us
through
those
three
on
sale.
Liquor
license
applications
appreciate
it
thanks
much.
Thank
you
mayor
with
that.
We'll
move
on
to
item
8.4,
which
is
another
public
hearing.
This
is
for
standards
for
placement
of
wireless
telecommunications
facilities
in
public
right
of
way.
C
Q
Q
Q
Okay,
so
we
are
bringing
forward
a
ordinance
before
you
this
evening
and
what
it
pertains
to
is
the
deployment
of
smart,
small
wireless
facilities
in
public
right-of-way.
It
is
a
technology
that
is
becoming
more
prevalent
and
there
is
a
greater
desire
to
deploy
this
to
deploy
these
facilities
in
more
areas,
so
just
in
terms
of
background
a
little
overview
of
the
wireless
network
in
bloomington
and
just
generally
speaking
across
the
country.
What
people
are
more
used
to
used
to
are
more
familiar
with?
Are
these
macro
sites?
Q
Q
Q
There
are
a
number
of
antennas
and
wireless
facilities
in
the
right
of
way
currently
more
in
commercial
areas,
but
with
the
this
newer
technology
coming
forward,
we
see
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
much
more
keen
interest
in
deploying
more
of
these
facilities
in
the
future.
So
what
our
current
standards
regulate
is
it
pushes
for
co-location
or
replacement
of
existing
poles
regulates
height?
Q
You
can't
extend
more
than
15
feet
the
existing
height,
it
regulates
the
antenna
size,
it
regulates
the
deployment
of
ground
equipment
and
just
minimizing
the
the
visual
impact
on
the
right-of-way,
and
some
folks
have
asked
us.
You
know
why.
Why
is
the
city
or
why
do
cities
regulate
this
stuff?
Why
are
they
keenly
interested
in
it,
particularly
for
our
public
works
department,
who
has
to
manage
a
wide
variety
of
infrastructure
in
a
confined
space?
Q
As
you
went
to
jurisdiction
to
jurisdiction
for
this
type
of
equipment,
so
they
pushed
to
have
a
more
uniform
set
of
standards
adopted.
This
involved
some
performance
standards,
such
as
allowing
new
polls
height
limits
of
50
feet
or
the
existing
condition,
and
it
also
had
a
lot
of
language
pertaining
to
the
permitting
process
and
how
much
cities
could
collect
from
a
fee
standpoint
for
allowing
these
utilities
quasi
utilities
in
a
way
to
be
deployed
these
facilities
in
the
public
right
of
way.
Q
Just
a
note,
the
the
statute
did
allow
some
discretion
for
cities
to
enact
some
performance
standards
to
again
manage
the
public
right
of
way,
and
it
did
leave
some
discretion
for
cities
to
implement
a
conditional
use
permit
process
in
family
zones.
We'll
talk
about
that
on
a
following
slide,
but
this
is
the
existing
condition
when
it
comes
to
small
wireless
facility
sites
in
the
city,
there's
approximately
45
of
them.
You
know
we
continue
to
get
permits
in
the
public
works
department.
Again,
as
you
can
see,
there
are
these
little
purple
triangles.
Q
Most
of
them
are
concentrated
around
the
mall
of
america
and
the
normandale
lake
office
park,
or
that
district
up
there
and
where
they're
needed
is
where
there's
you
know
higher
tax
or
demand
on
the
wireless
network,
but
we
are
starting
to
see
them
be
deployed
in
residential
areas
in
the
future.
As
you
know,
the
public's
demand
for
faster
and
faster
wireless
service
continues
to
rise,
so
right
now
of
the
4510
plus
of
these
are
in
the
the
public
right
of
way.
Q
You
know
you're
going
to
need
10
of
these
small
wireless
facilities
for
every
one
macro
site.
So
if
you
do
the
math
that
we
have
120
and
that's
just
kind
of
an
estimate,
but
if
we
have
120
macro
sites,
you
know,
could
we
see
over
a
thousand
of
these
small
cell
facilities?
You
know
way
off
in
the
future.
I
couldn't
put
a
date
on
it,
but
I'm
just
kind
of
projecting
how
the
deployment
of
the
center
of
this
facilities
or
infrastructure
is
going
to
go.
Q
This
is
an
example
of
a
small
wireless
facility.
It
was
a
replacement
of
a
utility
pole.
This
one
was
done
over
in
the
west
side
of
town,
and
this
was
again
one
of
the
instances
where
it
was
in
a
residential
zone
right
away,
which
is
currently
requires
a
conditional
use
permit.
So
this
application
did
go
to
the
planning
commission.
You
can
see
what
it
involved
is.
It
looks
like
a
pretty
standard
wooden
utility
pole.
Q
Q
Q
It
still
would
encourage
the
replacement
of
existing
poles,
and
it
does
also
include
a
separation
provision,
meaning
you
can
have
one
new
pole
for
every
600
feet.
That's
basically
about
a
city
block.
There
was
some
discussion
about
planning
commission
as
to
you
know
how,
if
that
inhibits
the
deployment
of
this
technology
in
an
unreasonable
way,
keep
in
mind
that
they
can
always
replace
existing
poles,
as
well
as
lease
space
from
private
land
owners,
not
in
the
public
right
of
way
too.
So
there
are
other
options.
Q
There
was
some
modest
amendments
to
the
performance
standards
for
ground
equipment
in
terms
of
separation
from
intersections
or
sidewalks
those
types
of
things,
and
then
I
think
the
biggest
aspect
to
the
the
ordinance
is
just
making
these
facilities
a
permitted
use
in
all
of
our
zoning
districts.
So
we
are
not
recommending.
Q
The
planning
commission
is
not
recommending
that
a
conditional
use
permit
be
required
for
these
facilities
in
residentially
zoned
districts,
and
the
main
reason
being
is
that
if
the
performance
standards
are
pretty
set
in
stone
on
the
state
level,
and
then
we
can,
we
can
also
regulate
our
own
specific
performance
standards
as
they
pertain
to
bloomington
through
a
permitting
process.
There's
not
a
ton
of
value
in
a
conditional
use
perimeter
process
just
as
anecdotal,
but
in
the
few
presses
that
we
have
gone
through.
Q
There's
been
no
public
interest
in
those
thus
far
via
mailed
notice
or
through
the
paper
in
terms
on
the
public,
engagement
and
correspondence
standpoint.
I
want
the
council
to
know
that
we
did
proactively
reach
out
to
all
of
these
small
cell
permit
holders
and
applicants
that
we
have
worked
with
in
the
last
few
years.
Q
Q
Q
We,
the
staff,
did
not
support
that.
The
planning
commission
did
review
that
with
us
and
did
support
the
staff's
position
on
that.
So
did
recommend
that
verizon's
changes
that
staff
supported
go
forward
while
not
recommending
others,
so
planning
commission
is
recommending
the
adoption
of
this
ordinance.
I
should
note
staff
is
also
recommending
the
adoption
of
a
resolution
of
summary
publication.
So
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions.
A
E
I
just
wanted
to
ask
one
thing:
mayor
and
mr
johnson,
I
know
there
was
that
600
foot
separation
piece
there.
One
of
the
concerns
that
verizon
had
raised
in
there
was
that
if
you
have
to
kind
of
build
those
two
things
and
also
the
you
know
that
that
there
was,
if
you
have
other
utilities,
they're
not
subject
to
this-
that
same
type
of
standard,
could
you
help
kind
of
address
both
those
two
ideas?
Q
Yeah,
mayor
bussie
and
councilmember
lohmann
thanks
for
that
question,
that's
a
fair
point.
What
I
would
say
to
that
is
that
the
whole
idea
of
kind
of
regulating
the
deployment
of
these
facilities
is
to
not
clutter
the
right
of
way.
So
you
think
about
the
ability
to
reduce
the
separation
right
now.
Currently,
you've
got
utility
poles
that
overhead
electrical.
You
got
light
poles,
there's
a
number
of
poles
that
already
exist
currently,
and
so
I
guess
what
we
would
respond
back
to
the
ins
to
the
applicant
to
the
installer.
Q
E
A
K
K
A
O
And
I
will
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
and
I
apologize
for
our
late
to
the
party
communication
this
afternoon.
I
appreciate
mr
johnson's
presentation
and
that
he
had
communicated
with
the
wireless
provider
prior
to
preventing
disorders
tonight,
and
I
want
to
say
we
weren't
part
of
that
group
and
that's
kind
of
part
of.
I
think
what
our
statement
is
tonight
is
that
you
know
many
cities
have
been
looking
at
updating
their
wireless
ordinances.
O
O
And
if
you
see
the
letter,
you'll
kind
of
see
that
the
form
will
kind
of
lay
out
of
the
water
that
I'm
referring
to
the
statue
of
the
state
statute-
and
that
is
you
mainly
and
particularly
our
wi-fi
facilities-
that,
as
you
know,
we
provide
wi-fi
throughout
the
city
to
our
customers
and
non-customers
alike
and
of
course,
during
this
pandemic,
the
covenant
pandemic.
You
know
we
open
those
up
free.
We
do
things
like
that.
O
You
know
periodically,
so
those
are
the
facilities
we're
talking
about
and
reading
the
city
stats,
the
ordinance
that's
before
you
tonight.
It
wasn't
clear
to
us
that
that
exemption
was
certainly
laid
out
well
and
we
laid
out.
I
think
there
was
reading
it
there
we
thought.
Maybe
there
could
be
some
confusion
going
forward
if
those
facilities
were
covered
by
this
ordinance-
and
our
point
is
certainly
we
don't
want
to
have
that
discussion
with
the
city
when
it's
happening
right
when
we
need
to
service
a
we'll
fix.
O
You
know
one
of
those
facilities
on
on
this
on
a
strand
on
the
cable
strand
and
so
wanted
to
have
that
discussion
now,
and
so
it's
not
an
inconvenient
time
later.
You
know,
while
we're
out
there
kind
of
doing
the
work,
and
so
I
guess
our
ask
really
is
maybe
if
you
could
hold
out
the
vote
and
have
those
discussions
to
make
sure
you
know
the
definitions
are
clear
and
all
providers
with
wireless
facilities
are
kind
of
on
on
the
same
page
and
understand
with
the
city.
A
Q
Yeah,
thank
you,
mary
bussy.
What
I
was
going
to
say
is
that
you
know
this
came
up
with
in
our
discussion
with
verizon
as
well
with
as
it
relates
to
crawford
crop
references
with
our
code
with
chapter
19..
What
I
would
say
to
the
caller's
point
is
that
state
law,
preempts
city
code,
city,
ordinance
and
the
same
the
same
confidence
or
the
same
sentiment
that
we
passed
down
to
verizon
is
that
you
know
what
their
concern
was.
Q
What
I
can
say
to
that
caller
is
that
staff
fully
recognizes
that
and
acknowledges
that,
and
in
addition
to
that,
there
is
a
provision
in
chapter
19
in
this
ordinance
that
clearly
states
that,
to
the
extent
that
standards
in
chapter
19
as
they
relate
to
towers
and
antennas,
to
the
extent
that
the
provisions
in
city
code,
conflict
with
state
statutes,
the
applicable
state
statute
provisions
supersede
any
standards
in
the
city
code.
So
we
tried
to
be
very
explicit
about
that.
We
understand
that
you
know
in
the
regulatory
framework
of
in
state
statute.
Q
There
is
a
whole
wide
variety
of
standards
and
statutes
that
pertain
to
these
different
types
of
equipment,
and
we
want
to
be
respectful
of
that
as
much
as
we
can.
So,
my
my
guess
is,
I
certainly
validate
the
concern
on
the
part
of
the
caller.
I
don't
think
that
this
ordinance
is
going
to
create
any
difficulties
for
them.
Q
A
A
O
O
You
know
a
needed
service
interruption
or
something
like
that.
You
know
to
have
that
conversation,
but
that
certainly
helped-
and
I
definitely
appreciate
the
summer
construction
season
and
how
you're
up
against
deadlines
we
run
into
that
as
well.
So
you
know,
I
think
I
would
just
suggest
that
if,
if
this
does
become
a
problem,
we
could
you
know
re
or
an
issue,
we
could
revisit
it
at
that
time.
Q
A
O
Q
Q
So
we
really
don't
have
the
authority
to
reject
such
an
application
based
on
the
health
aspects,
I
don't
want
to
represent
or
present
myself
as
a
health
expert.
I
have
done
some
research
just
on
working
on
this
subject
matter
in
the
periphery,
and
I
think
the
you
know
one
of
the
challenges
that
this
technology
is
fairly
new,
and
so
I
think
that
the
early
returns
on
some
of
the
research
is
that
the
impacts
are
somewhat
negligible.
Q
But
that's
just
based
on
very
peripheral
research
that
I've
done,
and
I
don't
want
to
represent
myself
as
a
as
a
public
health
expert.
In
any
way,
I
can
say
that
there
was
a
bill
in
committee
at
the
last
legislative
session
that
did
include
that
more
health
impacts
of
this
technology,
that
studies
be
done
on
the
state
level
and
that
bill
did
not
make
it
out
of
committee,
so
it
did
not
get
passed.
Q
So
currently,
the
state
law
is
what
it
is:
we're
obligated
to
abide
by
the
state
statute,
so
that
is
kind
of
our
difficulty
with
that
with
respect
to
a
neighbor
objecting
or
a
resident
objecting
to
having
it
deployed
right
in
front
of
their
home.
I
don't
believe
that
there
is
a
mechanism
to
do
that.
Q
However,
what
I
would
say
is
that
the
public
works
department
and
the
people
reviewing
these
permits
do
work
with
the
perimeters
or
the
applicants
to
try
and
locate
them
at
the
edge
of
property
lines,
so
that,
in
other
words,
that
the
the
burden
of
one
of
these
facilities
say
you
don't
locate
it
right
next
to
someone's
driveway
or
you
don't
locate
it
fully
right
in
front
of
someone's
home.
So
it
affects
their
visual
impact
looking
out
at
the
street.
Q
So
we
do
push
applicants
to
try
and
make
the
visual
impact
of
it
lessened
on
one
particular
resident,
but
at
the
time
being
they
have
to
locate
these
facilities
so
that
they,
you
know,
fill
a
certain
void
in
a
network.
So
we
operate
within.
You
know
what
what
little
authority?
I
guess
we
do
have
to
try
and
not
make
it
an
extra
ordinary
burden
on
one
particular
property
owner
or
resident.
C
I'm
not
so
much
concerned
about
the
visual
burden,
I'm
more
concerned
about
the
health
impacts
and
if
there
were
somebody
who
is
sensitive
to
electromagnetic
radiation
or
things
like
that,
if
there
were
a
way
that
they
could
object
to
something
being
put
within,
say
a
hundred
feet
of
their
house
or
something
like
that.
If
that
is
an
option
that
is
being
considered.
A
And
I
I
appreciate
your
your
concerns,
ms
knutson.
I
do
know
that
beyond
the
state
law,
federal
law
prohibits
us
from
using
health
considerations
to
to
reject
health
impacts,
to
reject
or
or
or
consider
any
of
this
say
as
long
as
it
passes,
you
know
as
long
as
it
complies
with
the
fcc
and
emissions
requirements
or
emission
standards.
A
Q
Mayor
bussey,
this
is
nick
johnson
again,
if
I
may
add
one
point
to
the
caller
too,
in
that
I
know
that
the
city
of
bloomington
wrote
a
letter
objecting
or
attempting
to
revise
the
previous
state
law
that
was
adopted
in
2017,
and
you
can
certainly
go
back
and
check
the
the
record
on.
You
know
the
support
of
that
particular
amendment
in
committee,
but
I
don't
believe
any
of
the
bloomington
delegation
was
pushing
for
those
changes
that
made
the
deployment
of
this
equipment
more
easier
for
the
wireless
installers.
I
guess
I'd.
C
K
C
A
A
D
Mayor,
so
I
don't
want
to
belabor
the
point
that
the
caller
made,
but
I
do
have
a
question
just
in
terms
of
residents
ability
to
voice
any
kind
of
support
or
opposition
when
one
of
these
is
being
placed
close
to
their
homes.
So
if
we
did
require
a
conditional
use
permit
would
that
then
mean
that
we'd
have
a
public
hearing,
and
even
if
we
did,
would
it
really
alter
the
outcome,
since
there
is
so
much
state
and
federal
legislation
in
place
that
mandates
basically
what
we
can
and
cannot
do.
A
My
sense
council,
member
carter
is
that
no
it
wouldn't
impact
it
at
all.
We
could
have
a.
We
could
have
a
conditional
use
permanent
and
a
public
hearing
and
so
on,
but
ultimately,
if
it,
if
it
is
superseded
by
state
and
federal
regulations,
there
frankly
isn't
a
lot.
We
can
do
regarding
that
provision.
So
if
residents.
D
Were
like
we
just
don't
want
it
like
they
didn't
give
a
health
reason
for
the
for
the
rationale
they
just
said.
We
just
don't
want
it
in
our
neighborhood.
That
is
not
we.
We
still
could
not
do
anything
about
it.
It
would
basically
kind
of
be
a
waste
of
everybody's
time.
I
I
just
I'm
trying
to.
I
just
want
to
make
sure.
A
My
sense
is
that,
as
long
as
they
meet
the
the
zoning
requirements
as
long
as
they
meet
the
requirements
laid
out
and
set
forth
in
in
state
law
and
then
ultimately
in
what
we're
trying
to
pass
here
that,
as
as
long
as
they
meet
those
requirements,
they
they
will,
they
would
be
approved.
Mr
verbrug,
am
I
reading
that
correctly.
Mr
mayor,
you
are.
M
A
B
A
A
A
A
Motion
carries
7-0
for
summary
publication.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
johnson,
for
that.
Let's
move
on
to
item
8.5,
which
is
another
public
hearing.
This
is
a
change
of
conditional
use,
condition,
change
of
conditional
use,
permit
condition
of
approval
for
9604
and
9608
humboldt
avenue
south
mr
centenario
good
evening
and
welcome
good
evening.
R
R
R
The
north
street
is
96th
street,
so
this
storage
lot
in
2014,
the
conditional
use
permit
that
was
approved,
was
for
for
open
storage
of
vehicles
and
construction
equipment,
and
so
just
looking
at
this
image
itself,
this
would
this
sort
of
snapshot
in
time
would
be
consistent
with
what
we
would
expect.
An
open
storage
lap
for
you
know
large
vehicles,
construction
equipment
to
include,
but
there
were
also
a
number
of
conditions
related
to
some
physical
improvements,
namely
paving
stormwater
management
screening.
There
is
a
significant
screen
along
the
perimeter
of
the
site
and
then
also
landscaping.
R
This
is
a
recent
street
view
of
the
site
along
humboldt
avenue.
You
can
see.
Obviously
the
trucks
in
the
background
parked
and
stored
on
the
site
see
the
the
landscaping
between
the
screening
and
the
street
and
the
screening
itself,
which
is
which
was
a
requirement
that
and
is
a
requirement
that
exterior
storage
is
screened
from
public
right-of-way.
R
Another
image
from
96th
street
again,
you
can
see
the
the
screening
landscaping
that
was
established
as
part
of
this
review
process
and
again
the
the
applicant
had
to
meet
code
requirements
for
landscaping,
a
certain
number
of
trees.
The
screening
had
to
be
a
certain
height
and
then
complied
with
those
standards.
R
R
R
Storage
of
shipping
or
cargo
containers
or
similar
receptacles
for
storage
is
also
prohibited
unless
stored,
in
conjunction
in
conjunction
with
the
towing
business
operated
on
the
property
and
for
the
most
part
we
were
comfortable
with
this
text.
However,
it
could
potentially
lead
to
a
permanent
exterior
storage
of
shipping
or
cargo
containers
based
on
the
how
this
would
read
and
that's
not
something
that
we
would
want
to
permit
in
the
city
of
bloomington
use
of
a
cargo
containers
or
shipping
containers
located
on
the
ground
that
are
essentially
used
as
where
small
warehouses.
R
Try
and
address
the
the
applicant's
desire
to
store
inoperable
vehicles.
After
all,
they
do
operate
a
towing
business
but
then
narrowly
define
what
that
inoperable
vehicle
storage
would
entail.
So
this
is
the
text
that
city
staff
is
recommending
that
the
storage
of
salvage
shipping
containers,
cargo
containers
or
similar
receptacles
are
prohibited.
R
Storage
of
inappropriate
vehicles
or
of
inoperable.
Trailers
is
also
prohibited,
unless,
incidentally,
and
temporarily,
brought
to
the
site
due
to
towing
operations
for
a
period
of
90
days
or
less,
and
so
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
here
is
to
add
some
flexibility
to
the
applicant
to
have
inoperable
vehicles
stored
on
this
site
as
part
of
a
towing
operation
which
is
currently
prohibited.
But
then
we
also
wanted
to
have
considered
consideration
of
a
time
limit.
R
I
we
believe
that,
if
you
don't
have
at
least
some
identification
of
the
time
limit,
there's
really
no
mechanism
to
to
restrict
inoperable
vehicles
from
being
permanently
stored,
which
is
something
that
we
think
wouldn't
be
a
benefit
to
the
city,
not
in
the
last
sentence
again
trying
to
narrowly
define
what
canada
can't
happen
on
the
site
through
the
conditional
use,
permit
processes,
vehicles
or
trailers
must
not
be
repaired
on
site
must
not
be
leaking.
Fluids
must
not
be
dismantled
or
crushed,
and
that
must
not
be
sold
on
site.
R
So
as
in
essence,
we
we
understand
that
this
site
is
appropriate
for
storage,
but
not
for
the
use
of
it
as
a
salvage
yard
and
related
to
leaking
fluids.
For
example,
that's
that's
a
type
of
operation
that
belongs
within
a
building
where
building
and
fire
codes
can
be
met
to
address
those
potential
hazards.
R
H
Thank
you
mayor.
I
guess
I'd
just
like
to
ask
a
question
for
clarification
on
the
trailers.
I
think
in
the
current
conditions,
they're
not
allowed
trailers
at
all
and
in
the
in
their
proposed
and
in
what
staff
has
proposed,
they
would
be
allowed
operable
trailers
without
restriction
and
inoperable
ones
with
the
restrictions.
Am
I
understanding
that
correctly
and
you
help
me
understand
the
difference
between
an
operable
trailer
and
an
inoperable
trailer.
R
H
R
H
Okay,
so
would
I
be
understanding
this
correctly
that,
as
long
as
it's
being
used,
it
can
be
moved
can
go
in
and
out?
That's,
okay,
and
if
it's
inoperable,
what
you're
proposing
is
a
restriction
on
the
time
period
that
it
also
has
to
get
moved
out
in
some
reasonable
time
period
and
you've
said
that
at
90
days,.
B
A
A
I
Thank
you
just
a
couple
points
of
clarification
really
going
back.
The
historical
use
of
the
property
has
always
been
for.
Chief
towing
and
chief
towing
has
been
a
bloomington
business
for
50
years,
has
a
contract
with
the
city,
the
city
of
richfield,
hennepin,
county,
the
state
of
minnesota,
and
so
as
part
of
its
operations
here
in
in
other
locations,
they
routinely
tow
inoperable
and
operable
vehicles.
That's
always
been
what's
done
in
bloomington
and
on
these
sites,
and
so
back
in
2014.
I
So
what
we
were
attempting
to
do
was
simply
clarify
the
the
long-term
use
of
the
property
and
not
not
necessarily
gain
additional
flexibility
for
use
of
the
property,
but
simply
clarify
what
has
been
going
on.
Historically,
since
he's
owned,
the
property
staff
came
up
with
a
condition
that,
of
course,
we
believe
is
more
restrictive
than
the
condition
we
proposed
and
had
discussed
with
staff
prior
to
the
application.
I
That's
fine
to
a
point
where
it
doesn't
work
into
two
points
that
I
want
to
make.
One
is
often
there
are
holes
on
these
vehicles
and
those
holes
can
last
six
months
to
12
months,
and
so
he
can't
move
the
vehicle
and
so
90
days
just
doesn't
work
with
the
business
model
and
what's
been
going
on
for
many
years
on
the
property,
and
the
second
is
occasionally
minor.
I
I
think
if
we
can
address
the
six
to
12
months
as
a
reasonable
time
frame
and
minor
repairs
necessary
to
relate
to
the
business.
I
think
we've
got
something
that's
workable,
but
this
all
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
This
is
always
on
my
client's
desire
to
clarify
what
he's
been
doing
for
the
long
term
on
this
property.
This
is,
this
is
nothing
new.
I
don't
necessarily
think
that
it
creates
additional
flexibility.
It
creates
additional
clarity
as
to
what
they've
been
doing
for
a
long
time.
I
A
Thank
you,
mr
griffith
questions
cause.
I
do
have
a
question
mr
griffith,
on
the
you
mentioned.
The
holds
on
the
vehicle.
Are
those
describe?
Those
are
those
are
those
legal
holds?
Are
they
part
of
a?
Is
it
part
of
the
litigation
of
some
kind,
or
what
kind
of
holds
would
cause
a
cause?
The
operator
to
not
be
able
to
move
it
for
six
to
twelve
months.
I
A
With
understood
and
and
then
the
second
question
and
again,
I
agree,
it
makes
sense
for
for
minor
repairs
to
be
able
to
get
vehicles
to
make
inoperable
vehicles
operable
and
get
them
off
the
lot
I
could
see.
I
mean
that
would
make
sense
that
currently
takes
place
on
the
on
the
site,
and
I
mean:
is
there
a?
Is
there
a
special
equipment?
A
special
building?
Is
there?
Is
there
a
place
where
it
is
done
now,
or
is
it
just
done
ad
hoc
just
to
get
the
the
vehicles
off
the
lot.
I
H
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
like
to
say
that
the
hold
for
a
legal
reason,
in
my
mind,
makes
sense
the
changing
of
a
tire
makes
sense.
I
don't
know
if
I'm
capable
of
rewriting
this
as
we
sit
here,
and
so
I
just
have
a
question
about
process.
If
we
approve
this,
mr
griffith
indicated
they
withdraw
it,
which
I
assume
would
then
restart
an
entire
process
and
potentially
have
to
go
through
planning
again.
H
Is
there
a
way
that
we
could
maybe
table
this
for
further
discussion
and
just
bring
it
back
at
our
next
meeting
or
a
future
meeting?
Would
that
be
an
easier
process
to
get
what
I
guess
in
my
mind
seem
like
reasonable
things.
I
would
also
wouldn't
mind
hearing
from
mike
if
he's
got
a
different
viewpoint
on
on
these
matters
or
some
different
information
to
provide
us
on
these
on
these
items.
R
Excuse
me,
mr
mayor
council,
members
yeah,
you
know
we're
we're
willing
and
able
to
modify
the
condition
language.
We
do
feel
that
there
has
to
be
a
time
consideration,
so
temporary
storage
doesn't
become
permanent
storage
and
if
it
is
permanent
storage
of
inoperable
vehicles,
you
know
it's
unclear
where
the
line
is
drawn
between
a
towing
operation
and
a
salvage
yard.
R
A
I
tell
you
what
how
about
if
I
suggest
this,
this
is
a
public
hearing,
so
how
about,
if
we
open
the
public
hearing
and
see
if
there's
anybody
on
the
line
who
wants
to
speak
to
this
and
with
the
public
hearing
open
how
about?
If
we
continue
this
with
the
with
the
goal
of
trying
to
work
out
between
staff
and
the
applicant
some
workable
language
on
on
those
two
points
that
we
we're
discussing
here,
you
know
to
council
member
nelson's
point.
A
A
N
C
A
A
That's
interesting
to
me
as
well.
I
will
tell
you,
mr
hanuman:
we
have
that
as
a
as
a
timed
item,
just
as
a
quick
commercial
here
we
had
that
as
a
timed
item
and
we
did
address
that
actually
fairly
close
to
the
start
of
our
meeting,
and
so
that
was
actually
we
had
that
under
item
five.
I
believe
which
was.
It
was
a
timed
item,
so
we
did
it
shortly
after
our
covet
19
update
and
already
had
the
discussion
and
took
the
vote
on
that.
R
A
M
Mr
mayor
and
council
members,
I
did
want
to
advise
the
council
that
the
60-day
period
for
this
application
expires
on
august
15th.
We
only
have
one
council
meeting
between
tonight
and
the
15th
that's
next
monday
august
3rd.
I
would
recommend
that
we
get
confirmation
on
the
record
from
the
applicant
to
extend
the
60
day
to
180
day
deadline.
A
K
A
Mr
griffith,
I
don't
know
if
you
heard
mr
verbrugge's
suggestion
that
we
we
have
one
meeting,
we're
we're
pushing
up
against
the
the
time
limit
on
this,
and
we
have
one
meeting
that
would
fit
in
there
in
the
event
that
we're
not
able
to
hammer
this
out.
Could
we
get
a
verbal
agreement
to
extend
this
to
120
days
from
the
60
day
currently
and
give
ourselves
a
little
bit
of
breathing
room.
A
M
I
A
A
We
have
a
motion
by
council
member
nelson
in
a
second
by
council
member
martin
to
table
this
with
the
public
hearing,
still
open
and
the
direction
to
staff
and
the
applicant
to
get
put
their
heads
together
and
try
and
figure
this
out.
Taking
this
up
again
on
september
14th,
hearing
no
further
discussion,
ms
christensen.
C
A
You
thank
you.
We
can
move
next
to
item
8.6,
which
is
a
public
hearing,
our
final
public
hearing
of
the
evening.
This
is
the
ordinance
amending
chapter
12
to
require
face
coverings
and
indoor
spaces
of
public
accommodation,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
start
of
the
meeting.
This
is
a
somewhat
moot
point
in
the
fact
that
the
governor
declared
a
statewide
mandate
on
face
coverings.
A
M
A
A
K
A
N
A
E
A
L
I
happen
to
have
the
rules
open
here
on
page
10
of
our
rules
or
procedure
with
regard
to
a
motion
to
table
or
postpone
that's
loop,
grouped
into
one
section
under
section
c,
and
that
says
that
any
council
member
may
make
a
motion
to
require
that
the
consideration
of
the
main
motion
be
delayed
until
a
certain
stated
time,
for,
among
other
reasons,
obtaining
more
information.
Future
date
must
must
a
future
date.
Certain
must
be
set
when
the
subject
is
considered
a
motion
is
debatable
requires
a
majority
vote.
L
I
know
that
isn't
or
I
believe
council
member
loman
has
indicated
that
that
isn't
the
way
roberts
has
set
it
up,
but
that's
how
our
rules
have
modified
it.
The
next
section
section
d
on
that
same
page,
10
talks
about
a
motion
to
table
indefinitely,
and
that
is
when
the
council
wants
to
make
a
motion
to
propose
on
the
consideration
of
a
main
motion
under
consideration
that
will
be
taken
up
at
an
unspecified
later
date.
When
it
is
placed
on
the
agenda.
L
A
L
E
That's
that's
bizarre
because
I
you
know
when
you
do
is
robert,
because
the
next
thing
I
tell
you
is
we've
talked
about
this.
You
can't
close
the
meeting
with
something
laying
on
the
table
and
we
don't
have
anything
in
our
rules
of
order
to
talk
about
that.
So
I
mean
I
get
what
how
we're
we're
classifying
this,
so
I
will
I
will
change
my
motion
back
to
tabling
it
indefinitely,
which
is
totally
wrong,
but
that's
fine.
L
This
public
hearing
was
noticed,
so
you
open
the
public
hearing,
as
stated
in
the
public
hearing
notice,
you've
had
a
little
initial
discussion
about
it
on
both
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
and
right
now
and
now.
What
I
hear
you
saying
is
because
the
governor's
executive
order
is
in
place
and
because
we
originally
or
earlier
talked
about
how
the
science
is
always
changing.
We
don't
know
what
the
future
holds
et,
cetera,
et
cetera.
L
You
want
to
open
sort
of
open
table.
This
lay
it
out
there
and
and
sort
of
press
pause
on
it
and
then,
if
at
some
point
in
the
future,
you
want
to
bring
it
back
to
life
and
resuscitate
it.
We
will
most
certainly
re
if
it's
again
an
ordinance
we
will
most
certainly
and
if
time
allows
republish
a
notice,
get
it
out.
Let
the
the
city
and
its
residents
know
about
a
reconsideration
of
this
either
in
this
current
format
or
in
some
other
format.
A
A
S
Thank
you
so
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members,
I'm
here
this
evening
to
give
a
budget
update.
It
has
been
a
few
weeks
since
I
presented
at
a
council
meeting
in
that
time.
I've
been
working
closely
with
the
community
budget
advisory
committee
and
spending
my
wednesday
evenings
they're
in
the
council
chambers
with
the
committee
as
they
work
through
their
deliverables
for
the
2021
budget
for
the
council.
S
five-year
forecasts
for
lodging
and
admission
tax
revenues,
impacts
of
different
property
tax
percentage
changes
that
the
committee
is
looking
at
proposing
to
the
council
or
will
be
looking
at
and
the
impacts
of
that
those
on
the
median
value
home
and
then
also
talking
about
when,
when
the
city
council
meet
discussing
budget.
So
looking
at
a
budget
calendar
for
the
council
for
this
year,
so
starting
off,
this
is
what
was
just
published
in
the
the
most
recent
monthly
financial
report
by
the
finance
department.
S
So
for
the
july
financial
report,
these
are
the
projections
for
the
general
fund
revenues,
and
so
you
can
see
there
at
the
bottom
that
the
shortfall
that
we
were
projecting
was
14.4
million
and
that
included
a
6.9
million
property
tax.
Delinquency
that
we've
been
projecting
kind
of
is
a
worst
case
scenario:
five
million
shortfall
for
lodging
tax
and
a
million
dollars
almost
a
million
dollars
in
admission
tax,
as
well
as
some
reductions
in
revenues
for
fines
and
business
licenses
and
program
income.
S
S
I
can
get
forward
here.
There
you
go.
This
was
updated
as
of
today,
so
we
received
some
updated
information
from
hennepin
county
this
morning
and
the
first
half
property
tax
collections
are
in
and
if
you
recall
the
may
15th
deadline
for
property
taxes
was
extended
for
some
property
tax
owners
until
july
15th.
S
And
so
this
is
another
side
that
I
added
just
to
explain.
If
we're
looking
at
that
12.8
million
dollar
revenue
shortfall,
how
we
would
address
that
is
from
looking
at
the
revenue
shortfall.
So,
as
I
just
showed
on
the
previous
slide
here
that
2.5
million
under
budget
that
that's
going
to
take
care
of
part
of
it.
S
And
then,
if
you
recall,
the
general
fund
fund
balance
policy
is
to
have
between
35
and
40
of
the
next
year's
revenues
in
a
reserve.
Since
we
in
the
fund
balance
of
the
general
fund,
since
we
only
receive
our
property
taxes
twice
a
year
and
we
had
been
able
to
keep
that
fund
balance
reserve
at
40,
and
but
we
now
bringing
it
down
to
35
percent,
then
we
can
use
5.1
million
or
almost
5.2
million
of
his
reserves.
S
And
then
we
had
also
discussed
earlier
this
year
about
using
the
four
four
and
a
half
million
that
we
have
in
the
facilities
fund
to
fund
a
when
we
need
to
replace
the
pool
vessel
and
then
it's
when
it
comes
time
to
replace
the
pool
vessel
that
we
would
issue
debt
for
that
replacement
instead
of
the
cash
that
we've
been
accumulating
and
then
also
talked
about
using
a
portion
of
the
reserve
in
the
compensated
absences
fund.
That
pays
out
paid
time
off
vacation
and
personal
leave.
S
So
with
the
5.3
million
property,
tax
delinquency
and
the
other
projections,
we
have
for
revenue
and
expenditures
for
2020.
If
we
have
we're
looking
at
being
at
24
million
595
000
at
the
end
of
the
year
in
that
working
capital
balance
compared
to
our
goal
of
29.6
million.
We're
gonna
have
a
shortfall,
and
so,
if
you
think
commit
that
way,
we
would
have
to
transfer
money,
then
from
the
facilities
fund
and
from
the
compensated
absences
fund
to
cover
that,
and
this
next
slide
is
back
when
we
were
looking
at
a
6.9
million.
S
These
are
some
projections
that
we
had
shared
with
the
community
budget
advisory
committee,
and
this
is
a
few
weeks
ago
we
were
just
looking
at
2020
through
2024
and
basically
weekly,
there's
a
team
of
employees
that
are
looking
at
industry
reports
and
doing
a
lot
of
analysis,
and
this
is
what
we
are
and
it,
and
this
also
changes
weekly,
so
we're
looking
at
this
forecast
here,
it's
comparing
the
what's.
We
were
projecting
for
2020
through
2024
and
then
taking
that
as
a
difference
of
what
we
actually
collected
in
2019.
S
So
you
can
see
it.
It
takes
about
five
years
until
we're
thinking
that
it'll
come
back
to
those
pre-oven
levels
for
lodging
tax,
be
where
we
were
in
last
year,
and
then
we
did
this.
We
have
the
same
thing
here
for
admission
tax,
so
you
can
see
it's
we're.
Also
thinking
it's
going
to
be
about
five
years
before
we
come
back
to
those
precoc.
S
On
the
next
slide,
this
is
showing
our
median
value
home
monthly
property
tax
cost
for
the
city's
portion
of
the
property
tax.
The
first
row
there
is
the
the
2020
like
right
now.
What
the
monthly
cost
is
for
paying
property
taxes
this
year,
so
for
the
median
value
home
that
is
89.78
per
month,
and
if
you
recall,
for
the
2020
tax
levy,
that
was
a
4.75
increase
from
the
2019
tax
levy
and
so
then
for
2021
potential
tax
levy,
changes
from
the
2020
tax
levy.
S
So
if
it's
zero
percent,
if
the
total
tax
levy
is
not
increased
at
all,
it's
actually
due
to
the
how
the
property
valuations
are
for
the
median
value
home
in
comparison
to
other
property
within
the
entire
that
the
tax
will
be
based
on.
It
would
actually
go
down
slightly
so
dollar
21
per
month,
and
if
the
tax
levy
is
increased
by
one
percent,
it'll
go
down
very
slightly
point
twenty.
You
know
26
cents
a
month
and
then
you
can
see
if
it's
a
two
percent
increase,
a
three
percent
increase.
S
Four
percent
increase
how
it
how
that
changes!
So
that's
we
have
on
this
slide.
We've
also
been
sharing
this
information,
obviously
with
the
community
budget
advisory
committee,
as
well
as
they're,
looking
through
things
and
working
to
make
a
recommendation
for
the
council
and
set
a
preliminary
tax
levy
and
then
just
taking
those
percentages
just
to
kind
of
equate
that
to
dollars.
So
one
percent
change
is
a
roughly
almost
six
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
S
14Th
would
be
a
regular
business
meeting
where
that
would
be.
The
council
would
approve
a
preliminary
tax
levy
if
necessary.
We
could
eventually
schedule
an
additional
council
meeting
if
we're
not
ready
to
do
that
yet.
Also
at
that
on
september,
28th-
that's
not
on
the
calendar
right
now,
but
it
depends
if
that's
necessary
and
then
at
that
time
could
possibly
have
another
update
from
the
committee
then
october
5th,
that
if
that
we
don't
have
one
september
28th,
and
that
would
be
the
date
that
you
would
have
an
update
from
the
committee.
S
The
plans
for
them
to
update
you
monthly,
along
with
you,
know,
continuing
to
have
that
information
in
the
one
weeklies
and
then
I'll,
be
there
at
the
october
12th
study
session
to
to
bring
the
non-property
tax
special
revenue
budgets.
That's
not
something
that
the
committee
is
looking
at
and
then
those
could
be
potentially
approved
by
the
council
on
the
19th
and
then
what
they're
working
towards
is
monday
november
9th
is
to
have
the
three
to
four
budget
scenario:
options
for
the
council.
E
Oh
thank
you
mayor
and
ms
carlson,
the
question
for
you
about
the
put
together
some
slides
there
that
you
had
added
for
projections
for
both:
oh
the
admission
tax
revenue
and
also
the
lodging
and
tax
piece,
and
I
wanted.
I
know
these
are
based
on
forecasts
and
I
know
they're
shifting
back
and
forth,
but
the
numbers
that
we're
looking
at
today
from
a
forecasting
standpoint,
are
we
using
conservative
estimates?
S
S
E
That's
very
helpful
because
I
you
because
sometimes
you
say
well,
it's
changing
from
from
you
know
week
to
week.
That
makes
me
go
wow,
that's
scary,
but
it
helps
to
understand.
You
know.
Here's
kind
of
what
you
guys
are
thinking,
based
on
the
best
available
information
and
kind
of
following
our
our
tradition,
that
we've
had
a
a
slightly
more
conservative
perspective
on
it.
So
I
appreciate
giving
that
additional
information.
Thank
you.
S
Thank
you
and
I'll.
Just
ask
that
council
members
that
the
number
that's
really
changing
a
lot
is
the
2020
number
because
we're
getting
act.
We
get
those
returns
in
monthly.
So
as
we
get
in
those
actual
numbers,
we
know
what
we're
getting
for
sure.
And
then
you
know
by
the
end
of
the
year,
then
we'll
know
exactly
what
it
was.
J
J
Usually
I
think
it's
when
we've
actually
adopted
a
final
levy,
but
you
prepared
similar
numbers
for
what
that
looks
like
for
various
houses
in
different
kind
of
different
neighborhoods
across
the
city.
This
is,
I
don't
know
if
other
council
members
would
find
this
valuable,
but
if
you'd
be
able
to
do
something
like
that,
even
just
with
these,
you
know
simple
flat,
one
two
three
and
four
percent
increases.
J
I
think
that
would
really
help
me
not
only
sort
of
conceptualize
the
numbers,
but
also
be
able
to
talk
to
folks
about
it,
because
I
think
you
know
you
you
say
well
the
media.
This
is
the
impact
on
the
median
value
home.
Well,
if
you
don't
live
in
the
median
value
home,
I
think
it's
our
it's
hard
for
a
lot
of
folks
to
get
what
that
really
means.
S
J
B
S
B
Thank
you
and
a
follow-up
question.
Is
I
recall
that
the
reduction,
the
credit,
if
you
would
that
we
were
giving
to
liquor,
license
orders
in
their
2020-21
renewal
that
really
pertained
to
the
time
of
the
shutdown
we
were
going
to
be
reimbursed
by
the
state
coded
el
vocation,
and
so,
if
you
could
follow
up
on
that,
also
that
would
be
a
future.
Thank
you.
M
You
marin,
council
member
logo,
council
members
kari,
is
right.
We
will
follow
up
on
that.
What
we'll
do
with
that
specific
question
for
one
weekly
this
friday
is
provide
an
update
on
the
expenses
that
we
are
counting
against
our
cares
allocation
and
make
sure
that
the
reduction
in
license
revenue
is
offset
there.
M
The
other
little
tidbit
about
the
cares
allocation
I
wanted
to
share
with
council
members
is
that
my
understanding
of
what
may
be
in
the
the
senate
republican
proposal
for
the
next
round
of
assistance
allows
for
local
governments
to
utilize
the
earlier
allocation,
the
march
allocation
for
revenue
loss,
which
is
new.
That's
because
the
the
republican
proposals
I
understand
it
does
not
wish
to
provide
a
new
allocation
to
state
and
local
government.
However,
they
apparently
wish
to
provide
a
little
more
flexibility
with
the
previous
allocation.
M
So
we
make
sure
that
we
aren't
giving
back
some
of
that
money
if
we
have
community
need
what
I
have
done
in
light
of
the
news
of
what
may
come
in
the
federal
bill
is
direct
staff
to
hold
off
on
assigning
any
of
those
future
potential
eligible
expenses
until
we
get
the
outcome
of
that.
So
we
know
if
we
have
two
million
dollars
remaining,
that
could
help
us
with
the
offsetting
of
revenue,
so
we
will
we'll
provide.
M
All
of
that
again
is
in
the
one
weekly
at
the
end
of
this
week,
so
you
can
see
it
on
paper
and
I
guess
I'd
also
ask
councilmember
coulter.
If
you
want
the
information,
if
we
can
turn
it
around
this
week
from
assessing
in
the
one
weekly
as
well
or
if
you'd
like
that
at
a
subsequent
budget
discussion.
A
I
have
won
ms
carlson
if
you
could
so
under
permits,
it
looks
like
permits,
are
the
the
the
original
and
the
amended
and
projected
are
are
static,
they're?
Staying
the
same,
I
am
I
correct
to
assume
that
that
means
that
building
permits
business,
licensing
that
that
kind
of
thing
is
building
permits,
in
particular,
are
still
strong
in
the
city
of
bloomington.
Is
that
correct.
S
That's
still,
we
can
put
some
more
information
in
the
one
weekly
detailing
that
out
just
I
know
we
shared
some
information
at
the
community
budget
advisory
committee
and
we
can
share
that
same
information
with
the
council
and
the
one
weekly.
I
just
the
thing
that
pops
in
my
head-
and
this
isn't
what's
driving
this,
but
I
remember
that
swimming
pool
permits
were
up
200
for
backyard
swimming
pools.
M
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
carrie.
The
the
permit
revenue
on
the
building
side
is
remaining
strong
because
of
the
strength
in
our
multi-family
residential
development.
That's
been
occurring
right
now,
and
so
we
expect
that
this
number
will
hold
for
the
rest
of
the
year,
there's
a
little
bit
of
trepidation
looking
forward
to
next
year
and
how
we,
how
we
budget
for
building
permit
activity,
just
not
knowing
what
the
consequences
of
the
economy
are
going
to
be
right.
Now,
though,
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
slowing
down,
especially
in
the
multi-family
sector.
M
M
That
was
a
a
deliverable
for
the
committee
as
well,
so
we're
going
to
model
out
what
that
that
stan
pat
number
is,
but
the
the
committee
is
interested
in
knowing
sort
of
what
that
top
end
is
for
council.
So
I
think
that
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
discussion
point
or
a
consensus
item
this
evening,
but
when
co-chair
peterson
comes
in
next
monday
that
maybe
council
may
be
prepared
to
have
some
conversation
along
those
lines.
M
The
other
item
related
to
the
budget
advisory
committee
has
to
do
with
any
direction
from
the
council
regarding
items
that
you
would
like
to
see
considered
in
their
budget
discussions
specifically,
are
there
issues
related
to
the
strategic
priorities
of
the
city
council
that
you
want
to
make
sure
are
factored
in,
as
as
the
committee
is
looking
ahead.
So
as
an
example
over
the
last
couple
months,
a
couple
council
members
have
inquired
about
resources
for
work
in
the
area
of
equity
and
inclusion.
M
Earlier
this
year,
admittedly
pre-pandemic
there
was
discussion
by
council
members
about
a
similar
question
in
terms
of
the
resources
for
our
work
in
the
area
of
sustainability.
So
it
would
be
helpful
to
provide
some
feedback
to
the
co-chair
next
week
and
if
you
know
in
the
conversation,
there
seems
to
be
some
indication
from
council
that
there
are
areas
you
would
like
the
committee
to
have
conversation
about,
so
that
they're
aware
of
that,
when
they're
working
their
way
through
some
of
these
options.
J
What
that
budget
impact
would
look
like.
You
know,
see
manager
just
mentioned,
for
example,
that
to
sort
of
keep
keep
things
at
the
the
the
the
people
power
and
the
level
of
service
that
that
we
have
now
would
roughly
call
for
an
eight
percent
levy
increase,
and
I
agree
no
one's
suggesting
that.
But
so
what
we
would
essentially
be
saying,
then,
is
even
a
four
percent
or
five
percent
levy
increase
would
be
a
cut
in
some
fashion,
and
so
I
guess
I'm
I
would
just
have
a
little.
I
would
have
some
difficulty
articulating.
J
What
I
feel
would
be
an
appropriate
upper
limit
without
knowing
what
those
impacts
would
be,
at
least
in
some
kind
of
general
sense.
You
know
what
does
that
mean
in
terms
of
staff,
layoffs
and
and
what
are
the
types
of
things
that
that
might
have
to
change
in
terms
of
the
services
that
we
provide,
and
that
kind
of
thing.
So
I
think
I
would
need
a
little
more
information
before
I
could
really
articulate
that.
J
M
Mr
council,
members,
council
member
colter
appreciate
that
request,
and
we
can
also
include
that,
as
part
of
our
additional
information
later
this
week,
the
it's
it's
actually
a
pretty
easy
number
for
us
to
generate.
I'm
not
going
to
do
back
of
the
math
or
back
of
the
envelope
math
right
now,
but
the
two
slides
that
carrie
had
this
one
and
then
the
subsequent
one
kari,
where
you
see
the
revenue
generated
by
levy
increase.
M
M
B
B
M
B
I
appreciate
the
difficulty
and
thank
you
for
the
response,
so
if
we
could
also
do
a
couple
scenarios,
then
50
of
the
shortfall
being
collected
in
2021,
then
what
needs
to
be
picked
up
in
levy
and
so
on
that
I
would
find
that
critically
important
to
my
calculus.
In
addition
to
answering
the
levy
increase,
answer
that
you
know
we
talked
about
earlier.
M
I
appreciate
that
council
member
beloga
and
want
to
assure
the
council
members
that
the
committee
is
having
this
conversation
as
well.
The
co-chairs
have
been
pretty
consistent,
identifying
that
in
each
year,
2021
and
2022,
there
are
likely
to
be
some
scenarios
where
we
have
one-time
money
that
presents
itself
and
so
trying
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
incorporate
that
into
our
scenarios
is
going
to
be
a
an
important
policy
discussion.
M
Because,
as
the
council
is
aware,
council
member
logan
we've
talked
about
it,
the
the
issue
is
not
just
for
2021
as
we're
looking
ahead
to
22
and
23
as
well.
So
navigating
some
of
those
one-time
issues
over
the
course
of
a
couple
years
is
going
to
be
high
on
the
conversation
list
for
both
the
committee
and
for
the
council.
E
Thanks
mayor
and
in
terms
of
strategic
priorities
and
how
we
have
a
look
at
those
the
one
that
comes
to
my
mind
first,
that
certainly
is
a
triangle
of
ones
that
I
want
to
want
to
have
us
review.
But
when
we
look
at
this
high
quality
service
delivery,
I
think
it
makes
some
sense
to
you
know:
look
at
that
particular
priority
and
try
to
figure
out.
If
you
know
what
does
that,
does
that
mean
at
its
highest
level,
medium
level
and
low
level?
E
E
I
think,
as
we
look
out
decades
from
now,
I
think
some
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
now.
We
need
to
position
ourselves
around
those
two
particular
priorities
to
be
sure
that
we
don't
create
unintended
consequences.
That
would
impact
our
budget
in
a
long-term
perspective
and
then
with
the
changing
marketplace.
E
Just
to
look
what
that
looks
like
to
hold
it
steady
or
drive
it
all
the
way
under
zero
to
to
affect
that.
What
does
that
look
like
for
our
residents?
What
I'm
particularly
interested
in?
Certainly,
we
look
at
it
from
the
median
standpoint,
but
I'm
interested
in
those
particular
properties
that
are
high
valued
and
what
the
swing
would
be
for
those
that
are
above
that
median
what
what?
A
M
A
It's
a
tempting
offer
tempting
offer.
I
will
add
that
the
discussions
of
the
community
budget
advisory
committee
have
been
fantastic.
They've
asked
some
really
good
questions,
there's
some
very
thoughtful
and
in-depth
discussion.
That's
going
on
among
the
council
members
and
I
think
they're
all
doing
an
outstanding
job
and
I
hope
staff
feels
the
same
way
because
I've
been
very
impressed
with
just
watching
them
and
watching
them
interact
and
how
they've
tackled
this.
This
issue,
I
think
they're
doing
an
outstanding
job.
M
Mr
mayor
and
council
members,
I
don't
have
legislative
agendas,
a
specific
item
on
your
agenda
this
evening
or
legislative
update.
I
think,
as
council's
aware,
the
special
session
ended
last
week.
There
was
only
one
significant
item
that
was
moved
through,
that
was
the
police
reform
bill
and
staff,
provided
some
additional
information
on
that
there
was
no
movement
on
the
tax
or
bonding
bill.
M
The
information
looking
ahead
to
august
12,
which
is
the
next
time
we
expect
the
legislature
to
be
in
special
session,
coinciding
with
the
time
when
governor
wallace
will
be
considering
whether
to
extend
his
emergency
declaration
does
not
right
now
sound
as
if
there's
much
that's
going
to
be
on
the
table.
If
the
public
comments
of
the
leadership
is
to
believe,
so
I'm
not
sure
that
we'll
have
much
new
to
report
over
the
next
couple
weeks,
but
we'll
certainly
come
back
to
you
if
the
situation
changes
very
good.
M
Rotary
club-
and
I
want
to
thank
the
rotary
club
members
for
taking
an
interest
in
the
issue
and
recognizing
that
there
is
conversation
that
needs
to
occur
within
the
community
and
stepping
forward
as
one
of
those
service
organizations
or
civic
clubs
interested
in
partnering
with
institutions
in
the
community
to
advance
that
work.
And
I
specifically
want
to
thank
our
panelists.
A
F
Thank
you
very
much
mayor.
I
appreciate
it
just
a
couple
of
quick
things,
and
apologies.
If
this
is
a
little
amorphous,
is
something
that's
kind
of
struck
me
over
the
last
few
weeks,
kind
of
as
we're
continuing
to
read
the
updates
on
covenant.
19
nationwide
is
really
from
what
I've
seen
short
of
a
vaccine.
F
This
pandemic
is
kind
of
the
new
normal
and
something
we're
all
obviously
having
to
adjust
to.
But
I'm
glad
council
is
continuing
to
recognize
that
we
still
have
a
city
of
danger,
90
000
people
to
support
and
help
move
ahead,
so
things
like
re-envisioning
our
commercial
nodes,
support
we've
provided
workers,
small
businesses,
engaging
residents,
especially
in
conversations
around
equity
right
now,
so
considering
that
these
are
some
of
the
things
I'm
proudest
of
at
the
moment.
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
huge
shout
out
and
thank
you
to
our
staff.
F
I
and
just
wanted
to
say
if
a
resident
has
concerns
please
reach
out
to
your
council
member
share
them.
That's
what
we're
here
for,
especially
as
we
have
these
really
tough
conversations
around
the
budget
coming
up
just
around
the
corner,
however
heated
that
feedback.
Is
it's
useful
for
us
council
members
to
hear
that,
but
this
recent
increase
in
thrashing,
whether
in
public
comment
or
on
social
media
of
the
staff
who
are
doing
their
jobs,
carrying
out
the
policy
direction
that
council
is
putting
forward?
I
think
it's
as
toxic
as
it
is
disappointing.
F
D
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
have
a
couple
of
different
things,
so
I
have
been
fortunate
enough
to
be
able
to
participate
in
some
of
the
community
engagement
sessions.
That
co-ed
is
leading
with
some
of
our
bipark
leaders
in
bloomington
and
in
the
last
one
that
I
attended.
You
know
I
I
had
some
really
great
takeaways
and
it
was
really
helpful
to
listen
and
to
learn
from
the
the
residents
themselves
and
I'm
just
wondering
so.
I
have
a
couple
couple
things
I
want
to
say
about
that.
D
But
the
first
is,
you
know,
I'm
wondering
if
it
would
be
of
interest
to
my
colleagues
on
council
to
have
maybe
a
couple
of
the
staff
from
the
co-ed
team,
or
maybe
one
of
them
and
then
chief
potts,
because
he's
been
attending
a
lot
of
them
come
and
just
kind
of
summarize
and
share
what
they've
been
hearing,
because
you
know,
I
think,
as
much
as
we
can
try
to
get
to
those
meetings.
They're.
D
Typically,
during
the
work
day-
and
you
know,
we
all
have
full-time
jobs,
and
so
you
know
again,
I'm
fortunate
to
have
been
able
to
make
it
to
a
few
of
them,
and
I'm
going
to
continue
to
do
that.
But
I
really
do
think
it'd
be
helpful
for
for
the
things
that
are
being
said
and
discussed
in
those
meetings
that
are
relevant
for
the
city
council
to
hear
for
them
to
be
heard.
D
You
can
put
your
water
bill
in
what
are
some
of
the
key.
You
know
laws
and
ordinances
in
bloomington
that
people
should
be
aware
of,
and
so
you
know
for
one
one
example
is
you
know
one
of
the
women
on
the
call
had
said
that
you
know
it's
been
it's
challenging
because
you
know
some
people
move
here
and
then
they
don't
they.
They
might
just
have
completely
different
rules
or
laws
compared
to
where
they
may
have
lived
before.
D
And
then
you
know,
law
enforcement
gets
involved,
it's
a
neighbor
calls
and
it
just
kind
of
and
there's
already
some
fear
and
mistrust
and
it
kind
of
escalates
things.
So
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
idea,
because
there
was
definitely
a
call
for
more
resources
if
chief
potts
is
on.
I
think
he
could
speak
to
it
a
little
bit
too,
and
I
know
he
had
some
some
really
good
ideas
for
how
even
the
police
department
could
help
support
some
of
that.
D
D
According
to
what
I'm
hearing-
and
I
did
have
some
correspondence
with
mr
marker
guard-
and
he
said
that
you
know
you
know
he
said-
he's
more
than
willing
to
to
do
some
of
that
research
and
to
see
how
we
compare
and
that
our
pool
standards
have
been
the
way
they
are.
As
long
as
he's
been
at
the
city,
they
predate
him,
and
so
you
know.
D
A
So,
to
recap:
an
update
on
what
we're
hearing
on
with
the
the
coed
team
and
their
conversations,
which
I
think
makes
very
good
sense.
I
think
to
have
a
presentation
makes.
I
think
it
would
be
very
helpful
to
hear
what
they've
been
hearing
and
provide
some
feedback,
a
task
for
the
communication
staff
to
do
the
welcome
packet.
A
I'm
surprised
we
don't
have
something
like
that
already,
but
I
wonder
if
we
do
and
it's
just
not
widely
available
and
then
the
final
thing
on
on
the
swimming
pools,
that's
one
I
haven't
heard
in
17
years
I
haven't
heard
anybody
complain
about
pool
standards
being
too
difficult
to
get
a
pool
put
in.
But
if,
if
it's
an
issue
for
folks,
I
guess
it
would
be
worth
the
look.
Also,
mr
fabregi.
M
Mr
mayor
councilmember
carter
and
council
members,
just
replying
to
the
comment
about
the
welcome
packets,
we
do
not
have
a
regular
like
welcome
wagon
or
a
bundle
of
information
that
gets
provided
to
new
residents
and
it's
not
for
a
lack
of
trying.
It's
just
it's
a
sustained
effort
that
actually
takes
a
fair
amount
of
staff
resource,
none
of
which
is
to
say,
not
interested
in
doing
it.
M
So
it's
a
little
bit
more
sensitive
there
and
the
willingness
of
owners
of
rental
communities
or
rental
properties
to
share
some
of
that
information
with
us.
It's
certainly
doable
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
lift,
and
so
you
know
I
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
value
in
that
in
terms
of
making
people
feel
welcome.
But
to
the
point
that
council
member
carter
made
it's
a
it's
a
resource
discussion.
D
And
if
I
may
just
jump
in
really
quick,
please
so
so
I
actually
maybe
the
next
next
good
step
would
just
be
having
a
more
robust
conversation
about
it
with
staff
and
with
some
of
the
community
leaders
to
figure
out.
You
know
there
was
recognition
that
we
were
in
a
tough
time
in
regards
to
budget
and
resources
and
recognition
that
these
types
of
things
take
resources.
D
And
so
maybe
there
are
some
interim
steps
that
we
can
take
before
kind
of
having
you
know
a
more
robust,
or
maybe
we
could
do
things
a
little
bit
differently
in
bloomington
and
try
some
some
other
things.
So
I
don't
want
to
be
like
completely
wed
to
a
specific
like
a
packet,
but
something
that
ensures
people
have
the
resources
and
information
that
they
need
when
they
move
in
and
just
to
help
them
feel
included
in
our
community.
M
And
mr
mayor
and
council
member
carter,
I
appreciate
that
point
very
much
recognizing
that
there
are
many
more
creative
people
around
this
organization
than
me
and
there
are
a
lot
of
good
ideas
more
so
than
what
I
come
up
with
to
reiterate
a
point
that
was
made
earlier
this
evening
as
part
of
the
program
to
do
things.
The
way
that
we've
always
done
them
and
expect
different
results
is
a
little
bit
silly
right.
M

There
was
some
concern
about
for
various
reasons
about
both
rallies
and
I
just
wanted
to
just
be
a
participant
observer
of
both
to
see
and
they
seemed
to
to
go
off
without
a
hitch
from
when
I
was
there.
I
didn't
see
any
concerns
that
were
there
some
things
that
were
raised,
though
during
those
rallies
folks,
not
understanding
what
our
police
department
is
doing
in
regards
to
what's
happened
with
george
floyd
and
in
terms
of
diversity
and
those
types
of
things.
E
There's
rising
crime
in
the
city
of
bloomington-
and
I
wanted
to
have
us
address
that
as
well,
just
to
be
sure
that
we
understand
you
know
what
type
of
crime
is
taking
place
in
bloomington
and
what
that
looks
like,
and
are
we
seeing
an
uptick
in
that
trending
of
that
there
were
a
number
of
other
comments
that
were
made.
You
know
just
that.
A
I
will
echo
council
member
loman
and
I
do
think
we
need
a
a
presentation,
or
at
least
more
information
about
the
use
of
hotels
and
the
the
rentals
by
hannah
county,
others
to
and
others
to
home.
How
is
the
homeless
that,
during
during
this
pandemic,
and
so
just
some
update
information,
whatever
information
we
can
gather
from
hannibal
county
and
other
agencies
would
be
helpful.
I
think.
