[0:16] Hello and thanks for tuning in to
[0:18] Bloomington Today. Let's take a look at
[0:20] the latest news in Bloomington.
[0:21] Bloomington Family Aquatic Center is
[0:23] closed for the remainder of the season.
[0:26] After careful consideration and
[0:27] consultation with contractors, the city
[0:30] has decided to close the facilities for
[0:32] the rest of the season. The closure is
[0:34] due to a leak discovered during recent
[0:36] routine maintenance that makes continued
[0:38] operation unsustainable. The repairs
[0:41] needed are significant and will take
[0:43] weeks to complete, leaving little
[0:45] remaining time in the swimming season
[0:47] and insufficient staff to reopen the
[0:50] facility. All season passholders will
[0:52] receive a full refund on their purchase.
[0:55] Passholders received an email with more
[0:57] details on the process. For more
[1:00] information, you can contact Parks and
[1:01] Recreation at the email or phone number
[1:04] listed on your screen. There will not be
[1:07] any changes to sidewalk snow removal in
[1:09] the city at this time. The city council
[1:12] considered changes to sidewalk snow
[1:13] removal operations at its July 14th
[1:16] meeting. The council chose not to move
[1:18] forward with any changes on snow removal
[1:20] at this time and city crews will
[1:23] continue to plow the sidewalks. There
[1:25] was a consensus on the council that the
[1:27] current system for sidewalks is not
[1:29] meeting the city's standards for
[1:31] efficient, effective, and highquality
[1:33] service delivery and there was support
[1:35] to continue the conversation. Thank you
[1:38] to all community members who weighed in.
[1:40] To see the city council decision, visit
[1:42] the link on your screen. Have questions
[1:44] about the city's cannabis ordinance? To
[1:46] understand business licenses and forms,
[1:48] the city has a web page to help answer
[1:50] your questions. Visit blm.mn/cannabis
[1:53] where you can learn more about the
[1:55] ordinance, retail registration, and
[1:57] contacts for any questions you have
[1:59] about the process. That's a wrap on this
[2:01] week's buzz. If you would like to see
