Bloomington City Council Committee of the Whole Tackles CBCI, Traffic Commission Member, Kirkwood Outdoor Seating
On March 1, at the Bloomington City Council Committee of the Whole meeting, Deputy Mayor Mary Catherine Carmichael summarized the actions taken thus far by the office of the mayor in creating a non-profit organization, C-B-C-I, to help the city in implementing special work projects.
Councilmember Isabel Piedmont-Smith asked Deputy Mayor Carmichael about how the C-B-C-I would be financed.
Piedmont-Smith clarified with Carmichael about when the amount of spending by the C-B-C-I would require approval by the council.
The council then moved into a report from the committee of Council Processes regarding the removal of Greg Alexander from Bloomington’s traffic commission.
Councilmember Matt Flaherty delivered the findings of the committee, the first being the withdrawal of the resolution to remove Alexander. Instead, the commission suggested that he should be given time to respond.
Council Member Stephen Volan said that he thinks they need to take their time to establish the process in which someone is removed from a board or commission.
The council withdrew their resolution to remove Alexander, however, a new resolution will potentially be considered at a future meeting.
Next, the council considered a resolution to authorize the renewal of the outdoor dining program in the downtown corridor.
Special Projects Manager Chaz Mottinger shared that they collaborated with Bloomington Engineering to address Trinity Episcopal Church’s concerns about the outdoor seating area blocking off access to their building.
The council voted to renew the expanded outdoor dining program.
The next Bloomington City Council meeting will be held on March 8th.
