We've got the worker on the Convention Center So 00:12:20.362 --> 00:12:26.212 - still asking the public's patience as we work through all the projects both public and private There 00:12:26.212 --> 00:12:32.351 - will be additional night work taking place on South Walnut Street starting tomorrow for a paving contract 00:12:32.351 --> 00:12:33.278 - with EMB paving 00:12:33.346 --> 00:12:39.068 - Staffs been working with them determine the night work made the most sense to try to limit the traffic 00:12:39.068 --> 00:12:44.901 - impacts given all the other Construction projects going there. So from Grimes up to I believe it's first 00:12:44.901 --> 00:12:50.511 - Street Maybe second but on walnut that'll get a fresh coat of pavement and they'll start the milling 00:12:50.511 --> 00:12:51.678 - on that tomorrow and 00:12:52.290 --> 00:12:59.526 - We do have a lane stripe the longline lane striping contractors in town So you may have seen a lot of 00:12:59.526 --> 00:13:06.833 - no parking signs around 4th Street down to hillside on Lincoln and Washington that's to facilitate the 00:13:06.833 --> 00:13:11.870 - on-street lane markings associated with the bike lanes and the traffic 00:13:12.066 --> 00:13:18.022 - just the traffic markings in on Lincoln and Washington from 4th to Hillside so we had to mark a lot 00:13:18.022 --> 00:13:23.979 - of no parking to keep the paint from going on to those cars as that work takes place but as soon as 00:13:23.979 --> 00:13:30.114 - that dries we'll get the no parking signs removed hopefully it'll be a limited impact on the residents 00:13:30.114 --> 00:13:32.318 - down there but it is a large area so 00:13:33.186 --> 00:13:39.272 - Wanted to bring that to the board's attention and then last thing we had our last night of budget hearings 00:13:39.272 --> 00:13:45.188 - with the City Council last night for our presentation our preliminary presentations Good questions from 00:13:45.188 --> 00:13:51.047 - the council have some follow-up to do but overall just pretty standard study budget year as we're kind 00:13:51.047 --> 00:13:56.792 - of dealing some with some of the impacts of SEA one and financial Implications that has on municipal 00:13:56.792 --> 00:14:02.366 - government. So that's all I have for tonight, but appreciate all that you do Very good. Thank you 00:14:02.530 --> 00:14:10.339 - Roger Street now reopened fully. I know to the southern part of it is thinking about the Grimes Grimes 00:14:10.339 --> 00:14:18.149 - to whatever that was Kyle's shaking his head. Okay Bridge The second Rogers intersection is definitely 00:14:18.149 --> 00:14:26.110 - open I believe the work that was going on just south of there on Roger Street has been largely completed 00:14:26.110 --> 00:14:31.038 - with some auxiliary work going on I think there was a water line 00:14:31.202 --> 00:14:38.208 - issue there that CBU was working on. So some of those were conflated unintentionally during those two 00:14:38.208 --> 00:14:45.145 - things together. And just for awareness the third street two week closure between Walnut and college 00:14:45.145 --> 00:14:52.288 - for the Bloomington Convention Center is starting. They're setting up tonight with full implementation. 00:14:52.288 --> 00:14:59.294 - Tomorrow morning we are awaiting the second Rogers intersection to be reopened before deploying that. 00:14:59.746 --> 00:15:08.405 - So a lot of coordination going on between those two projects right now. But Rogers and second open. 00:15:08.405 --> 00:15:17.411 - All right. Thank you. All right. Next up is approval of claims.
