Thank
you,
councilmember
Harris
I
would
like
to
take
the
opportunity
to
introduce
Mary
dankwa.
You
want
to
come
up
to
the
podium.
If
you
would
please
Mary's
been
with
the
city
for
just
about
nine
years
now.
C
She
serves
currently
as
the
assistant
division
manager
for
human
resources
and
she
will
soon
become
the
interim
division
manager
beginning
next,
Monday
and
I
asked
her
to
come
because
item
A14
resolution
23r23
appoints
Mary
as
the
city
of
evanston's
authorization
for
the
Illinois
Municipal
retirement
fund,
so
I
I
didn't
know
if
the
council
members
knew
or
not
so
I
just
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
introduce
her
she's,
a
eths
graduate
and
so
she's.
A
very
good
employee
here
with
the
city.
F
Absolutely
good
evening,
everyone
thank
you
for
having
me
stand
before
you
guys
today,
as
Dave
mentioned,
I've
been
with
the
city
for
almost
nine
years,
June
will
make
my
nine
year
anniversary
with
the
city.
All
of
my
time
has
been
with
the
Human
Resources
Division
prior
to
coming
to
the
City
of
Evanston
I
worked
in
HR
for
Murray
Children's
Hospital
of
Chicago,
so
quite
some
time
in
HR
the
team
that
I
work
with
dedicated
HR
professionals.
We
work
really
hard
together
and
I'm,
looking
forward
to
Leading
the
team
on
an
interim
basis.
G
G
The
site
investigation
for
twenty
eight
thousand
dollars
do
not
see
a
purpose
for
this
A9
Twigs
skate
park
for
almost
two
million
dollars
now
I,
don't
know
if
they're
building
the
park
or
maintaining
the
park,
but
when
we
first
had
the
discussion
it
was
it
supposed
to
be
about
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Now
it's
almost
two
million
dollars.
G
This
is
by
the
proposed
Fifth
Ward
school,
which
is
coming
about
now
and
also
by
three
worship
facilities
or
four.
The
excuse
for
not
approving
or
or
approving,
double
clutch
was
double
clutch
was
before
the
school.
Now
you
have
a
school,
we
do
not
need
any
more
liquor.
Establishments
next
to
school
and
Church
of
Worship
I
would
say
8
18
no
for
the
liquor
license
for
the
bookstore.
How
about
coffee
and
tea?
G
We
need
to
hold
your
representatives
responsible
for
what
you
want
in
this
community
and
you're
spending
big
money,
seven
million
on
dog,
shelters
and
everything
you
pretend
to
be
concerned
about
affordable
housing.
Where
is
the
money
for
that?
For
the
providers
such
as
myself?
And
you
come
to
me
and
ask
me
for
apartment,
but
you
don't
have
the
money,
because
you're
spending
two
million
dollars
on
a
skate
park
outrageous
and
should
be
voted.
No.
H
H
The
main
reason
I'm
here
is
to
get
a
double
bite
at
the
Apple
when
it
comes
to
the
arpa
funds.
Tina's
right,
you
spend
another
two
million
dollars
at
a
skate
park.
H
No
one
has
done
so
I'm
advocating
again
tonight.
I've
sent
messages
to
some
of
you
to
please
consider
that,
what's
up
for
the
arpa
spending,
our
second
or
third
takings
from
some
groups,
and
yet
climate
Action
Falls
again
to
the
Wayside
climate
action
was
number
six
out
of
six
and
your
so-called
goals
list.
I
think
you
spent
about
three
seconds
talking
about
climate
action
during
your
goals
meeting.
H
But
if
you
can
find
two
million
dollars
to
spend
on
a
skate
park,
you
can
certainly
find
as
much
or
more
to
spend
on
climate
action.
It's
an
enormous
problem.
I
get
the
impression
council
members
just
do
not
understand
the
enormity
of
the
problem
and
we
lived
in
Evanston
Midwest.
You
know
we
don't
suffer
what
California
is
suffering,
but
yet
our
pollution
goes
straight
up
and
causes
their
helps,
contribute
to
causing
their
problems
so
I'm
advocating
and
I'll
Advocate
again
later
that
you
use
some
arpa
funds
for
climate
action.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
C
Now
we're
good
to
go
to
the
speakers
on
Zoom.
First
will
be
Patrick
Eggman
filed
by
Eric
Pitt
Mr
Hagman.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
So
much
they're
not
online
to
have
public
comment,
so
we
will
move
to
the
consent
agenda.
Are
there
any
comments
or
questions
on
the
consent
agenda.
D
No
questions,
I'll
remove
a
sevens.
I
think
that's
the
only
way
we
can
table
it
to
our
next
next
meeting.
A
E
So
Madam
chair,
if
you're
ready
for
motion
I,
will
make
the
motion
to
move
the
consent
agenda,
which
includes
everything
except
A6,
A7
A9,
a
15
and
a
17.
D
A
D
E
Sorry,
once
again
for
real
I'll
move,
I
move
approval
of
item
A6,
which
is
approval
of
a
contract
with
environmental
Consulting
Group,
to
conduct
a
site
investigation
and
obtain
an
Illinois
EPA
NFR
letter.
A
I
Thank
you
and
I
I'm
not
terribly
concerned.
I
just
wondered
as
I
look
through
this
just
the
sole
source,
it's
difficult
to
get
I
mean
why
we
why
we
just
have
one
response
for
this.
Thank.
K
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
committee,
chair
good
evening,
members
of
the
committee
I
am
Paul
zalmazak
I
serve
as
the
economic
development
manager
and
I'm
overseeing
this
particular
contract.
So
councilmember
Kelly
environmental
Consulting
Group,
had
completed
our
phase.
One
study
which
we
contracted
with
them
under
an
administrative
contract.
It
was
under
20
000
and
we
in
order
to
just
continue
the
process.
They've
done
all
the
research
and
as
a
way
to
keep
the
contract
on
Pace.
K
We
wanted
to
just
to
continue
with
the
same
group
to
complete
the
next
phase
since
they've
already
done
all
the
research
on
the
first
phase
and
I'll
also
say
that
we've
had
a
good
experience,
working
with
them
at
Darrow
and
church
a
few
years
ago
when
we
acquired,
or
we
did
a
phase
one
on
that
property.
Thank
you.
You're
welcome.
K
E
I
just
have
some
questions
about
the
process
and
our
plans
to
acquire
this
property
and
the
timeline
we
have.
You
address
them
partially
in
this
in
in
the
email
earlier
today,
but
just
again
for
the
record
here
we
have
a
30-day
extension
on
the
purchase
agreement,
but
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
longer
than
30
days
to
get
the
results
of
this
test
back.
So
yes,
what's
up
with
that.
K
Okay,
thank
you
for
the
question,
so
we
anticipate
based
on
input
from
the
consultant
that
this
could
take
up
to
six
months
to
get
the
updated
letter
from
the
state,
that's
kind
of
in
addition
to
the
site
investigation.
It
just
takes
a
while
for
the
state
to
review
the
information
and
issue
the
letter.
Our
contract
with
the
seller
of
the
property
has
been
extended
for
30
days.
They
had
indicated
to
to
our
Law
Department
staff,
who
are
managing
the
contracts
that
they
would.
They
would
review
it
30
days
at
a
time.
K
Then
we're
done
yeah,
okay
and
I
hope
that
doesn't
happen.
This
is
a
great
opportunity.
Yeah
agree.
Thank.
A
Let's
do
Voice
vote
all
those
in
favor
aye
hearing
none
any
opposed
hearing.
None
it
passes.
Thank
you.
D
D
E
A7
I
will
second
item
A7
yeah
and
also
be
happy
to
Second
a
motion
to
table
this.
A
All
right
council,
member
Burns.
D
That
was
just
that
I
was
going
to
move
to
table
this
still
working
with
staff
and
work
speed
on
finalizing
the
contract.
This
will
be
back
a
bite
to
table
it
until
March,
20
or
March
27th
meeting.
A
A
I
Thank
you
so
I
guess
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions
regarding
the
subcontracting
so.
I
So
Hacienda
will
do
the
well
subcontract
then,
for
the
skate
park.
Is
that
right.
J
Members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Laura
Biggs
I'm,
the
city
engineer.
So
yes,
there
was
some
pretty
substantial
experience,
requirements
that
were
built
into
the
contractor
into
the
bid
contract.
The
documents
and
one
of
those
is
that
required,
some
pretty
significant
experience
on
Skate
Park
construction,
so
that
part
is
being
subcontracted
to
spawn
Ranch.
I
K
A
I
Yeah
I
I
just
want
to
respond
to
some
of
the
comments
made
regarding
these
projects
and
the
clustering
of
these
projects,
and
if
there
is
like
how
we
are
as
a
city,
if
we're
taking
that
into
consideration
or
I,
don't
know
if
somebody
can
address
that.
B
Good
evening,
chair
Harris
members
of
the
ampw
committee,
Deputy
city
manager,
stoneback
Sarah,
flax,
interim
community
development
director.
There
are
questions
about
why
we
have
had
almost
all
the
Lots
in
the
Fifth
Ward.
If
that's
one
of
the
things
you're
asking
about
part
of
that
is
where
we
have
available
land.
B
This
program
originally
started
off
with
properties
that
had
been
acquired
through
the
neighborhood
stabilization
program
that
were
by
their
requirements,
either
in
the
Fifth
Ward
or
the
eighth
Ward,
actually
in
two
census
tracts,
and
that's
where
a
number
of
the
first
properties
came
from.
B
So
we
wanted
to
redevelop
them
and
they
were
specifically
redeveloped
as
home
ownership,
which
was
something
we
wanted
to
increase
in
that
Ward.
So
that's
the
the
start
of
it.
The
reality
is
the
way
we
acquire
properties
for
this
program
is
through
government
authority
to
gain
title
to
properties
that
are
vacant
and
Abandoned,
and
so
virtually
all
the
properties
that
have
been
used
in
this
program
so
far
have
been
acquired
either
through
the
neighborhood
stabilization
program
fund
or
through
judicial
action.
B
For
example,
the
two
properties
tonight
were
both
vacant
and
abandoned.
The
the
homes
were
in
terrible
shape,
past
rehab.
We
got
court
orders
to
demolish
because
they
were
a
danger
in
the
community
and
their
obliting
influence.
B
We
then
went
through
a
long
court
process
to
get
ownership
of
the
property
to
redevelop
them.
So
that's
really
how
most
of
these
have
come
into
our
ownership
and
they
address
when
they
are
built
as
homes
redeveloped.
They
feel
a
very
important
Gap
in
our
affordable
or
moderate
income
housing,
and
that
is
home
ownership
for
people
up
to
120
percent
of
the
area
media.
All
of
the
homes
are
put
in
Community
Partners
for
affordable
housing,
Land
Trust.
B
They
will
be
Rema
retained
as
permanently
affordable
to
households
at
100
up
to
120
percent
of
area
median,
because
when
somebody
chooses
to
sell
and
move
it
resets
and
has
to
be
sold
to
that
somebody
at
that
same
income
level.
That
is
about
the
only
way
we
have
had
any
success
in
retaining
affordable
home
ownership
over
extended
periods
of
time,
and
it
is
a
best
practice
Nationwide
for
accomplishing
that.
B
The
fifth
word
is
specially,
has
suffered
a
great
deal
in
terms
of
its
change
in
its
mix
of
ownership
and
Rental,
and
a
number
of
people
who
have
come
out
in
opposition
to
development
of
rental.
Housing
have
actually
said
they
want
home
ownership,
and
this
is
one
way
we're
building
it.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
director,
Flex.
If
you
could
kind
of
fill
me
in
again
on
the
conversation
we
had
earlier
this
afternoon,
about
carp
compliance
for
these
houses
and
how
we
can
encourage
that
to
happen,
we.
B
Are
working
on
that
the
high
school
actually
uses
its
funds
to
do
the
for
the
building
of
the
house,
the
materials
the
students
build
the
shell,
but
the
high
school
then
also
has
to
contract
to
have
the
electrical
and
the
you
know
we're
not
going
to
have
our
students
doing
work,
that's
required
by
licensed
plumbers
and
electricians.
B
Obviously,
also
it
wouldn't
be
possible
because
it
isn't
done
on
the
High
School
site,
it's
done
after
they
are
moved
and
the
high
school
has
limited
funds
for
that
and
the
amount
that
we
sell
the
properties
to
never
really
make
some
for
that
difference.
So
they're
always
a
bit
behind
the
eight
ball.
B
We
have
been
working
with
the
high
school
we're
talking
about.
How
can
we
get
the
houses
to
be
all
electric
I'm?
Getting
pushed
back
on
that
for
the
next
one,
but
we're
working
on
it
and
I
think
that
we
can.
B
That
is
also
going
to
be
energy
efficient,
safer
it'll,
take
away
when
you
don't
have
gas
stoves,
you
don't
have
the
emissions
from
that
gas
stove
that
affect
people
with
asthma
and
things
like
that,
which
is
historically
worse
among
our
lower
income
residents
and
among
people
of
color.
So
there
are
all
kinds
of
reasons
to
pursue
carp,
we're
doing
that.
I!
Just
don't
think
we'll
get
this
year's
house
up
to
that
standard.
Yet,
but
we.
B
Eths,
it's
a
cost
thing.
It's
hard
to.
You
know
electrical
going.
All
electric
is
more
expensive
in
some
cases
in
the
appliances,
but
it
also
could
affect
the
energy
used.
I
mean
the
cost
of
energy,
because
electricity
is
more
expensive
for
heating,
a
house
generally
than
get
natural
gas
right
now.
A
Thank
you
and
I
just
want
to
say
the
319
McDaniels
and
second
ward
in
that
area.
I
get
calls
almost
every
other
week
about
people
fly
dumping
in
that
area
and
it's
time
to
put
something
there.
So
I'm
appreciative
and
I
know
that
my
community
members
that
are
emailing
me
on
a
regular
basis
are
appreciative
that
we're
going
to
do
something
with
that
area.
So
thank
you,
council,
member
Kelly.
I
Thank
you.
So
it
says
here
it
may
be
developed
with
two
dwelling
units.
Do
we
have
I
mean
that's
the
piece
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
integrates
well
in
a
neighborhood
setting.
You
know
creating
a
two
councilmember
Harris's
point
at
really
adding
to
stability
and
neighborhood
cohesion.
So
do
we
know
have
any
idea
what
will
happen
whether
it
will
be.
B
B
What
I
would
call
family
size,
houses,
they're,
three
bedroom
homes
with
two
bathrooms,
and
we
also
hear
people
asking
for
smaller
homes,
especially
people
who
are
smaller
households,
but
also
some
people
who
are
interested
in
moving
out
of
a
larger
house
and
staying
in
Evanston,
and
so
we've
got
a
mix
of
different
things.
We've
also
talked
about
some
creative
things
like
building
a
single
family
home
with
a
Coach
House
in
the
backs
that
they
could
rent
out.
B
That's
a
bigger
challenge,
because
then
you
have
to
find
a
buyer
who
wants
to
undertake
that
and
but
one
of
the
things
is
to
be
able
to
use
this
larger
lot
as
more
than
it's
a
it's
a
larger
than
standard
lot
for
more
than
just
one
home.
If
that's
something
we
could
that,
could
we
can
work
out?
Thank.
I
You
is
that,
given
that
these
are
both
public
bodies,
the
high
school
202
and
the
city,
is
there
a
process
for
like
Community
input
with
regard
to
how
that
gets,
developed.
B
Not
any
more
than
there
would
be
if
there's
a
variance,
and
it
goes
to
one
of
the
you
know,
reviews
of.
I
Variances,
it
just
seems
like,
since
their
public
bodies
involved
that
they
should
have
some
degree
of
community
input.
It
seems
to
me
I
mean
one
thing
if
it's
privately
owned
and
someone
wants
to
build,
they
build
or
if
they
want
to
variance
and
they
go
through
our
bodies,
but
our
public
legislative
bodies,
I
just
seems
to
me
we're
talking
about
public
land
and
public
entities,
giving
it
one
to
the
other
and
then
building
on
it
with
public
tax
dollars
that
it
would
be
I,
don't
know.
Councilmember
Harris
I'd
be
interested
in
your
thoughts
on
that.
I
If
it's
in
your
ward,
if
you
think
that's
would
be
valuable,
this.
D
This
is
actually
just
to
move
forward.
So
I'm,
sorry,
is
it
one's
in
a
second
ones?
I
think
the
one
that
was
removed
is
in
the
Fifth
Ward,
though
so
I
I
think
we
could
add
public
process
the
the
ones
prior
to
this,
we're
all
single-family
houses,
straightforward,
they're
done
a
bunch
of
them
before
at
least
a
handful
of
them
before
I
should
say
I.
D
Think
before
it
was,
it
was
the
same
house,
you
know
and
the
program
was
didn't
change
much
at
all,
and
it
was
my
understanding
is
this
program.
They
there's
a
priority
for
District
202
employees,
so
everything
pretty
much
worked
the
same.
It
was
built,
you
know
on
campus
and
at
Evans
Township
High
School.
D
It
was
then
moved.
Typically
during
the
summer
to
its
location.
It
was
the
same
single
family
home
literally
the
design
didn't
change
at
all
and
I.
Don't
I,
don't
think
it
really
necessitated.
You
know
much
Community
engagement,
but
if
there's
some
change
now
I
mean
we
could
we
could
figure
out
how
to
add
an
element
to.
B
E
A
B
We
have
had
in
past
years,
we've
had
high
school
kids
and
the
high
school
staff
come
when
some
of
the
properties
have
been
transferred,
but
in
this
case
we
just
are
bringing
them
to
council.
Thank
you.
A
Seeing
yes,
council.
I
Member
Kelly
I
think
so:
okay,
just
so
I
understand.
Would
we
consider
hearing
a
resident
who's?
Has
a
comment
on
this
or
no
I?
Okay,.
M
B
You
have
before
every
house
is
moved.
The
houses
immediately
along
the
Route
are
flyered
and
they
are
given
it's
actually
done
by
the
high
school
and
it
describes
the
route.
It
describes
the
what
will
happen
with
the
house,
that
it
will
be
finished
and
it
will
be
sold
and
it
gives
information
Community
Partners
for
affordable
housing's
phone
number
so
that
if
people
are
interested
in
purchasing,
they
can
contact
Community
Partners
for
affordable
housing.
B
A
Thank
you
we're
going
to
maintain
order
here.
So
what
I'm?
What
and
that
excuse
me.
What
we're
going
to
do
is
maintain
order
and
still
get
to
the
business
of
today.
So
I
will
address.
Miss,
Patton
and
I
will
make
sure
that
the
areas
get
notification
prior
to
I
will
personally
make
sure
you
can
trust
that
that
if,
when
these
houses
are
moved
and
decided
upon,
I
will
make
sure
that
that
happens
as
a
council,
member
personally
and
I
will
touch
base
for
the
Fifth
Ward
and
most
definitely
for
the
second
ward.
A
I
So,
thank
you
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
from
you
councilmember
Harris,
that
you
know
this
is
a
welcome.
Welcome
to
have
this
area
developed
so
once
we
so
it
says
here
it
might
be
one
or
it
might
be
two
homes.
So
once
the
sale
is
completed,
does
the
city
really
have
any
besides
flyering
or
I
mean?
Do
we
have
any
say
in
terms
of
like
what
gets
built
there?
I
I
mean
that's
my
concern
when
we're
dealing
with
public
property
public
tax
dollars,
I
do
feel
like
we
should
have
some
degree
of
not
just
sitting
at
the
Deus
here.
Talking
to
people
that
have
Community
discussion,
so
I
mean.
Is
there
what
happens
after
this
in
terms
of
what
the
high
school
decides
to
build?
I
B
No,
we
work
with
the
high
school
throughout
the
year,
I
mean
if
they,
if
we're
pursuing
a
subdivision
of
that
lot,
they're
going
to
have
to
work
with
us
because
it
would
be
non-conforming.
So
we
would
have
to
get
approval
and
we
would
Loop
councilmember
Harrison,
so
she
could
obviously
involve
whoever
she
feels
is
appropriate
in
her
Ward
and
then
it
would
go
through
the
approval
process.
Now,
some
of
these,
depending
on
the
type
of
variants,
not
all
variances
minor
variances,
don't
come
to
the
land,
use
commission
or
something
like
that
and
I.
B
Don't
at
this
point
have
any
idea
if
it.
If
this
sort
of
thing
would
be
a
major
variance
or
a
minor
variance,
we
do
have
in
our
code
the
efficiency
housing
portion,
which
was
specifically
designed
to
use
non-conforming
lot
and
allow
smaller
homes
to
be
built
on
lots
that
were
less
than
our
normal
lot
size.
B
It
can
be
I
believe
a
special
use
if
we
actually
subdivide
for
that
purpose
and
I-
think
that
that
would
then
go
to
the
land
use
commission,
but
I'm,
not
absolutely
sure,
because
we
haven't
done
it
before
sure.
It's
just
like
any
other.
I
B
We
no
we
are
discussing
you
know,
I
mean
it
was
the
early
on.
The
discussion
was
that
family
homes
were
something
for
sale.
That
was
very
much
in
demand,
so
that
was
what
we've
been
working
on,
that
we
are
hearing
more,
as
I
said
about
people
looking
for
smaller
homes.
So
that's
what
brought
up
the
discussion
of
possibly
doing
a
subdivision
and
making
smaller
homes.
The
other
thing
is.
It
also
then
gives
them
two
projects
on
one
lot,
which
means
they
get
more
value.
B
If
you
will
out
of
the
land
and
one
of
the
challenges
is
finding
land
and
finding
it
at
affordable
rates.
There's
only
one
lot
that
we
have
actually
purchased
outright
and
that
was
2005
gray,
which
we
purchased
I,
don't
remember
what
year
it
was,
but
it
was
on.
It
was
about
forty
thousand
dollars
and
we're
not
able
to
get
lots
in
Evanston
for
forty
thousand
dollars
these
days.
B
So
we
really
are
looking
to
use
our
ability
to
clean
up
properties
that
are
really
blighting
and
get
them
back
into
productive
use.
That's
how
all
those
lots
of.
C
D
A
I
L
D
D
If
this
is
a
new
standard,
we're
going
to
apply,
let's
go
back
and
apply
it
to
every
other
restaurant,
that's
within
proximity
to
a
church
and
if,
as
I've
said
even
around
the
Cannabis
issues,
if
that's
the
new
standard,
then
let's
apply
it
fairly
across
the
city,
but
I
don't
think
this
requires
a
we
can,
let's,
let's
wait
to
hear
back
from
legal
before
we
and
we
can
always
hold
if
we
need
to
at
that
Council.
D
A
E
A
Yes,
and
with
that
said,
we
will
adjourn
the
administration
and
Public
Works
committee
meeting
at
5,
52
and
pnd
will
start
promptly
at
six.
Thank
you
all
recording
stopped.
