Packet for tonight: https://d3n9y02raazwpg.cloudfront.net/cityblm/5a26b16f-a62d-11ec-8a90-0050569183fa-d854eb82-3702-4140-9de6-ac3a8e3f379d-1662676309.pdf
Public Comment and Recognitions might take longer than the actual business part of the meeting. Everything is on the Consent Agenda and won’t be discussed unless an alderman pulls it.
The longest part of the meeting won’t be public:
I doubt releasing the minutes of Executive Sessions from decades ago will be discussed, you don’t have a right to know.
It is time for City Manager Tim Gleason to get a raise. Inflation is probably killing his $240,980.14 total compensation. https://www.bloomingtonil.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/27739/637843221421970000
Gleason’s last raise was in September of 2021: https://blnnews.com/2021/09/25/tim-gleason-gets-a-raise/

It just absolutely sickens me how much this “city manager” gets paid. I mean it truly sickens me. I have a funny feeling that Gleason (and others like him) could go on extended leave for weeks and weeks and no one would even notice they were gone. Plus, just go look up the pay for city managers in other locations many far bigger than Bloomington and you will see just how overpaid this guy is already.
Reece is similar
Yes, she is, she just isn’t paid as much, still too much, but not as much as Gleason.
Confimed establishment brown nosers get paid more. The deeper the nose is in, the more stinky money they get.
Oh, without a DOUBT. They also have the added perk of often failing up.
Ten percent
Blows my mind know Tim can make this much and not even live in McLean County. Seriously, how is that even legal?
He lives in town!
outrageous salary and benefits for a city of this size . Salary is more than the Governor of Illinois makes with A LOT less responsibilities.
