is
a

cars
for
the
Public
Works
Agency
Ottoman
burrito
I.
Ask
that
we
hold
that
he
is
enroute
to
the
meeting
and
he
has
some
questions
so
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
item
8
3.2,
which
is
the
revised
purchase
of
one
vehicle
for
Public
Works
Agency,
the
Stafford
MEC
recommends
City
Council
approved
the
purchase
of
one
vehicle,
a
2019
Peterbilt
Model
348
for
operations
in
the
Public
Works
Agency.
A
The
amount
is
two
hundred
and
six
thousand
dollars:
two
hundred
620
I'm,
sorry
206
58,000.
Through
the
national
joint
powers
alliance
contract,
the
funding
comes
from
equipment
replacement
fund.
This
item
was
actually
recommended
with
an
incorrect
amount
of
on
April
9.
So
this
is
just
a
corrected
amount
and
I
see.
There's
some
questions
can
someone?
Second.
So
that's.
C
J
Could
you,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
yeah
we're
quite
confident
that
the
second
number
is
correct.
We
we
had
recently
taken
this
vehicle
out
of
service
due
to
rustling
of
the
firewalls
and
large
gaps
by
the
brakes.
We
were
kind
of
rushing
to
get
it
in
and
just
made
an
error.
That's
all
we.
We
made
a
mistake
with
the
with
the
costs.
We
thought
we
had
the
right
quote,
but
we
actually
had
had
only
partial
quote
included
in
the
last
last,
the
middle.
K
C
J
B
Rainey
yeah,
we
definitely
need
the
vehicle
have
no
problem
with
approving
the
purchase
of
it.
Well,
I
have
a
problem
with
how
many
eyes
did
that
number
pass
in
order
to
get
to
the
City
Council
that
that
shouldn't
happen,
yeah
I
agree.
We
up
here
aren't
skilled
enough
to
know
that
we
didn't
just
get
a
great
deal
on
the
truck
you
know,
but
we
depend
on
you
to
give
us
the
right
numbers
on
these
things
and
I'm
I'm,
just
wondering
how
that
could
have
happened.
L
I
can
speak
to
that
all
you
can't
believe
just
an
Acting
Administrator
serves
as
director
and
the
person
whose
name
is
on
top
of
that
memo,
so
I
hope
responsibility
for
that.
What
ended
up
happening
is
that
the
report
which
I
did
review
include
the
terminology
of
the
chassis,
as
well
as
the
Box
being
included,
and
it
had
the
number
next
to
it.
What
ended
up
happening
was
that
that
number
was
not
the
final
version
of
the
full
quote,
and
so
it
was
in
the
description
of
the
quote,
but
it
didn't
include.
L
The
quote
did
not
include
that
number
and
not
having
known
what
the
cost
of
the
vehicle
was
previously
I
didn't
have
anything
to
reference
that
I
went
by
the
quote
that
was
presented
as
a
full
amount.
When
we
went
back
and
to
review
it,
we
did
notice
that
that
was
they
caused
the
error
and
that
it
should
have
been
separated
out
and
not
included
under
the
description
as
one
was.
B
L
Was
three
vehicles
in
that?
In
that
you
know
what.
B
A
B
This
is
a
contract
renewal
with
crave
concessions,
LLC
for
the
2018
lakefront
concession
contract
and
we're
being
asked
to
authorize
the
city
manager
to
execute
this.
When
your
contract
renewal,
with
crave
for
the
church
and
Clark
Street
food
and
drink,
stands
and
the
lakefront
mobile
concessions,
lighthouse,
Clark,
Greenwood,
South,
Boulevard
and
Lee
Street
beaches
for
the
2018
season
crave,
which
many
of
us
know
is
now
owned
by
individual
named
Brian
Fogle,
and
he
they
will
pay
the
city
ten
thousand
dollars
for
the
privilege
of
the
2018
permit.
I
move
approval.
Second,.
C
H
A
C
M
M
So
this
is
like
a
overview
of
the
first
quarter.
General
fund
revenues
are
at
35
million
or
30
percent
of
the
budget
a
little
over
our
target
of
25%
because
of
the
property
tax
which
we
get
general
fund
expenses
at
around
30
million
26.4,
and
that
number
is
a
little
higher
because
we
include
the
pension
levies
in
it,
so
the
property
tax
money
which
we
get.
M
M
M
These
are
the
charts
showing
the
graphs
of
the
numbers
for
the
fund
balance,
as
well
as
the
cash
balance
comparing
with
the
2017,
and
if
you
see
the
fund
balance,
that's
the
top
line,
which
is
as
of
March.
We
have
19
million
dollar.
18
was
around
18
million
dollars,
so
we
are
little
over.
Their
cash
balance
is
pretty
much
same
with
a
little
difference
in
it.
M
Enterprise
Fund
parking
system
for
25
percent
of
revenues,
expenses
at
9%,
because
not
much
capital
outlay
in
it,
water
fund
revenues
at
10%
and
expenses
6%.
These
numbers
are
lower
because
of
the
bond
proceeds
of
almost
twenty
seven
million
shown
as
a
revenue
and,
at
the
same
time,
capital
projects
shown
as
and
expenses,
and
that
hasn't
happened.
Yet
in
the
super
fund,
you
would
see
it's
more
aligned,
the
25
percent
of
the
revenues
and
the
experience
is
at
16
percent
because
of
not
much
capital
outlay
in
it
yet
and
the
solid
waste
one.
M
All
funds
experiences
and
again
three
hundred
thirty
five
million-
are
budgeted
expenses.
Fifty
three
point:
five
million
in
the
quarter.
First
experience
is
percentage.
Sixteen
percent
again
these
numbers
are
lower
because
of
not
much
capital
outlay.
In
it
conclusion
city
of
Evanston
ended
the
first
quarter
in
stable
condition.
Yes,
we
have
the
property
tax
revenues,
which
is
our
largest
source
of
revenue.
In
line
with
what
we
expected
and
in
the
budget
we
don't
have
many
numbers
from
the
state.
M
Only
one
month,
actual
revenues
for
sales,
tax,
home
rule
sales,
tax
telecommunication,
tax
error,
so
we
would
have
better
numbers
in
the
end
of
the
second
quarter.
We
will
continue
to
monitor
the
cost,
as
well
as
the
revenue
trend
again
we'll
see
whether
the
income
tax
reductions-
you
know
the
state
government
last
year
said
this
would
be
only
for
one
year,
so
we
haven't
heard
otherwise,
but
we'll
keep
the
council
in
the
committee
updated
and
the
last
one
is
enterprise
in
capital
funds.
They
will
continue
to
spend
down
on
the
fund
balance.

seven
Oh?
Actually

do
any
seven?
We
have
some
speakers
so
I'm
going
to
call
you
up.
We
aren't
going
to
allow
two
minutes
for
speaking
tonight
on
these
topics.
First
I
have
Jonathan
Shepherd.
A
Live
that's
what
I
was
just
asking
my
my
handy-dandy
partner
here?
Sorry
about
that,
if
you
could
just
hold
on
Jonathan,
this
is
item
a7.
It's
resolution,
27
R

to
terminate
the
lease
for
city-owned
real
estate
property
located
at
20
to

Oakton

with
smiley

recommending.
We
adopt
this
resolution
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
a
mutual
termination
of
the
lease
agreement
for
the
city-owned
property
at

Oakton
Street
with
smiley
brothers
draft
and
package
LLC
staff
is
also
looking
for
directions
for
a
next
step.
This
is
for
action.
N
O
My
name
is
Jonathan
Shepherd
I'm,
actually,
a
business
director
for
locally
owned
and
operated
business
called
first
ascent,
climbing
and
fitness
and
I'm
here
with
my
business
partner,
Josette
Meyer
who's,
the
CFO
for
first
ascent,
climbing
and
fitness,
and
we
just
came
to
express
our
sincere
interest
in
to-to-to-to
Oakton
Street.
We
are
a
locally
owned
business
in
Chicago,
with
four
locations
around
the
city
and
we
operate
rock
climbing
gyms.
We
have
rock-climbing
and
fitness
and
yoga,
and
we
do
general
events
and
we've
been
around.
O
This
building
for
a
number
of
years,
actually
because
of
its
ceiling
heights
and
because
of
the
size
of
the
building,
feel
that
it
would
be
a
fantastic
reuse
of
that
space
and
also
just
be
a
really
great
fit
for
the
city
of
Evanston.
I'll,
say
a
little
bit
about
that,
because
I'm
guessing
a
lot
of
you
are
not
familiar
with
rock
climbing
in
two
minutes.
I
can't
say
too
much.
O
I
would
encourage
you
if
you're
interested
to
look
on
our
web
site,
its
first
ascent,
climbing
and
fitness,
but
just
to
give
you
a
quick
synopsis.
Climbing
has
been
gaining
in
popularity
for
over
a
decade,
it's
a
great
activity
that
brings
people
together
in
community
and
it's
for
both
young
and
old.
It's
not
like
a
lot
of
people
here,
rock
climbing
and
think
this
is
something
that's
like
skateboarding,
it's
just
for
teenagers
or
it's
like
trampolines
and
parks.
It's
just
for
kids,
no
rock
climbing
is
something
where
we
have
members,
young
and
old.
O
We
have
families
that
climb
together
on
a
regular
basis
and
I.
Think
one
thing
really
unique
that
we
would
bring
to
this
location
into
the
city
is
that
we,
we
see.
Hundreds
of
people
like
I,
said
coming
to
our
locations
every
day,
and
then
those
people
tend
to
climb
together.
Socialize
together,
take
yoga
classes
together
and
then
a
lot
of
them
often
go
out
and
visit.
Local
businesses
go
to
local
restaurants
and
that'll
that,
as
a
company
is
a
locally
owned
company,
we
love
supporting
other
local
businesses.
O
A
P
Thank
you
several
times,
I
asked
at
Council
over
the
last
several
months.
What
was
happening
with
this,
and
it
was
clear
this
was
falling
apart.
It
was
never
really
answered
till
now.
Of
course,
I
think
what
bothers
me
here
again,
it's
so
much
how
we
run
projects
and
can't
run
projects
here,
it's
six
months
into
this.
The
city
should
have
known
what
was
going
on
and
figured
out
what
to
do
and
didn't
do
it
and
it
should
have
been
terminated.
Then
we've
wasted
a
lot,
but
we
continue
to
waste.
P
One
thing,
I
think
that's
very
interesting
about
this,
as
I
Drive
by
there
in
the
last
several
months,
all
the
city
equipment
has
found
its
way
back
there.
When
this
started,
the
city
cleared
that
place
out,
and
there
was
talk,
it
was
going
to
rent
storage
space.
So
what
happened
to
that
storage
space
to
the
city
of
rent
things?
What
did
it
do?
And
now
all
this
equipment's
found
its
way
back
there?
This
building
cost
the
city
four
million
dollars
to
build.
P
It's
someone
said
its
assessed
at
eight
hundred
thousand,
so
you're
gonna
take
an
asset
and
give
it
to
cheaply,
to
somebody
I
sure
and
some
silly
deal
that
and
we
have
we
don't.
We
probably
could
use
it
for
storage
space
even
and-
and
you
know
basically,
we
continue
to
lose
too
much
money
here.
I
mean
we're
peers,
we're
okay
and
the
budget
at
the
moment,
but
I
think
what's
killing
this
budget
is
all
these
wasteful
xscape
Atal
expenditures
and
giving
away
money
to
people,
and
it's
really
costing
a
lot
and
I.
P
Don't
think
I
think
this
should
not
be
done
tonight
to
move
ahead
for
any
kind
of
people
quest
for
proposal,
but
the
city
better.
You
better
ask
them
what
they're
doing
with
storage
over
there
and
what's
happened
and
know
what's
going
on
because
they
they
clearly
don't
know
what's
going
on
here.
They
couldn't
even
figure
out
the
price
of
a
truck
here.
P
Not
that
I
believe
you're
at
fault,
for
that
I
mean
you're,
an
admin
here,
I
guess
so,
but
I
don't
know
what
your
roles,
but
frankly,
the
city's
a
mess-
and
you
know
eighteen
months
for
this
very,
very,
very
disturbing
and
I'll
just
add
a
little
thing
about
Fountain
Square
I
walked
down
there
and
looked
at
that.
That's
not
gonna
be
done
the
end
of
this
month.
What
I
saw
there
you'll
be
getting
another
change
order,
I.
Think
and
that's
you
should
ask
the
question
when
it
comes
back
to
the
other
change
order.
Q
Thank
You
members
of
the
committee
for
your
time
this
evening
my
name
is
Andy
Stein
with
Clark
Street
real
estate.
In
2015,
we
responded
to
the
initial
RFP
with
our
tenant.
First
ascent,
climbing
in
it
a
partnership
with
them.
While
we
were
very
excited
in
2015
to
make
our
presentation
and
thought,
we
presented
a
very
convincing
argument
to
the
city
of
Evanston
to
select
us.
Q
It
became
apparent
to
us
and
recently
became
aware
that
the
smiley
brothers
was
not
moving
forward
at
two
to
two
Oakton
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
express
our
sincere
concerns
that
we've
been
tracking
this
for
some
time
for
a
number
of
years,
and
we
would
still
have
a
we
still
along
with
our
tenant.
First,
a
said
have
a
very
sincere
interest
to
try
to
move
forward
and
work
a
deal
that
would
be
bringing
a
world-class
climbing
facility
and
first
to
market
to
Evanston
and
something
really
that
would
be
a
feather
and
everyone's
cap.
N
A
B
Like
to
move
to
hold
this
in
committee
so
that
we
can
have,
if
some
more
thoughts
of
this
so
Niger
may
I,
maybe
maybe
our
staff
would
like
to
speak
to
this.
I
asked
our
legal
staff
at
one
time
when
this
appeared
to
be
going
south
about
holding
smiley
brothers
to
this
lease-
and
you
know
I
I'm,
not
always
the
light,
brightest,
mold
and
but
I
know
a
lot
about
leases
and
I
I
know.
H
I
was
hoping,
maybe
Johanna.
If
you
could
speak
to
what
next
steps
are
I
agree
with
alderman
Rainey.
The
number
is
not
zero.
It's
my
other
brothers
seem
to
think
it
is,
but
it's
certainly
not
the
number,
but
if
we
could
talk
about
next
steps
going
forward
or
what
type
of
timeline
we'd
be
looking
at
and
what
the
best
way
to
move
forward
is
sure.
R
We
would
expect
if
we
were
to
move
forward
from
with
it
once
we
just
determined
what
to
do
with
smiley,
moving
forward
to
repurpose
the
property,
if
we
did
it
in
the
manner
of
an
RFQ
P,
a
request
for
qualifications
and
then
that
those
two
seek
a
proposal
from
that
point.
That
could
be
somewhere
between
12
to
18
months,
a
little
bit
longer
depending
on
if
we
got
responses
and
if
they
were
complete
so
that
in
terms
of
timeline
that
that's
what
I
would
expect?
Okay
and.
S
B
R
B
A
B
B
T
Chair
members
of
the
committee
good
evening
might
I
suggest
that
perhaps
the
issue
be
split,
that
we
could
come
back
to
you
at
your
next
meeting
to
talk
about
next
steps
for
the
facility.
But
if
you
could
give
us
some
additional
time
to
talk
with
the
smiley
brothers
regarding
efforts
to
end
the
lease
based
on
the
discussions
this
evening
so
to
keep,
because
ultimately,
these
will
end
up
being
now
on
two
separate
tracks
and
so
to
be
responsive
to
make
sure
that
we're
moving
forward
with
next
steps.
T
A
T
To
have
the
discussion
I
think
that
so
they
come
back
Tuesday.
The
29th
of
May
is
the
next
regular
meeting.
That
would
be
the
next
a
MPW
meeting
when
I
come
back
at
that
point,
to
talk
further
about
next
steps,
they're
going
through
an
RFP
process
or
whatever
the
council
may
think,
but
that
come
back
to
you,
June
the
11th,
with
an
update
on
the
the
the
closure
of
the
the
current
agreement.
B
B
A
T
I
think
alderman
Flemming
members
of
the
committee.
It
is
within
this
council
sole
right
to
terminate
the
lease
or
not
terminate
the
lease.
So
I
think
my
challenge
from
talking
with
many
of
you
is
to
work
with
the
nice
folks
at
smiley
and
try
to
come
up
with
a
solution
that
meets
your
needs
and
I'm.
T
Hearing
that
the
council
would
like
to
see
some
compensation
from
the
smiley
brothers
I
think
I
asked
about
our
former
CFO
was
calling
regarding
another
item
on
the
agenda
this
evening
and
so
I
think
the
issue
of
the
taxes
was
raised.
There
is
also
an
issue
about
standing
taxes.
Mr.
Leonard,
could
you
come
up
and
share
that?
So
that's
in
addition
to
the
lease
terms,
there
was
also
taxes
that
apparently
have
not
been
paid.
R
So
the
least
contemplated
in
stated
that
if,
in
the
end
of
the
affection
period,
which
was
which
was
last
year,
they
would
move
forward
with
paying
the
taxes
for
2017
and
2018
and
so
forth.
So
that
was
a
requirement
that
they
start
to
pay
and
they
and
they
didn't.
They
didn't
put
the
taxes
in
their
name
and
before
with
that
they
do.
They
have
put
the
utilities
of
their
name
and
they
have
been
paying
the
utilities
at
the
property,
but
they
haven't
moved
forward.
The
taxes.
H
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
where
we
are
at
now
is
we
have
an
enforceable
lease
at
thirteen
thousand
six
hundred
forty
five
dollars
and
eighty
three
cents
a
month
and
starting
in
July.
We
can
expect
that
payment
from
smiley
brothers
every
month
for
the
next
eight
and
a
half
years,
unless
we
take
any
action
to
alter.
That,
is
that
correct.
B
B
C
Rieu
Simmons,
thank
you.
Can
we
move
forward
with
exploring
what
our
options
are
at
a
minimum
collecting
the
taxes
that
were
agreed
on
and
also
pursuing
new
businesses
that
are
interested
I,
don't
have
much
interest
in
trying
to
negotiate
with
a
business
that
has
decided
that
they
don't
want
to
move
forward.
So
I
think
that
they've
probably
worked
through
that
pretty
thoroughly
I'm,
so
to
kind
of
enforce
them
to
be
in
business
here.
I.
Don't
support
that,
but
I
do
want
to
know
more
about
the
businesses
that
have
some
interest
in
joining
our
community.
B
T
Madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
as
mentioned
in
the
staff
report,
a
likely
next
step
on
that
would
be
to
do
another
request
for
proposal
process
and
I.
Think
what
I'm
hearing
from
members
of
the
committee
is
that
we
should
be
as
expeditious,
but
that's
possible.
This
is
a
known
commodity.
You've
already
have
representatives
of
groups
here
this
evening.
I,
don't
see
why
that
has
to
be
an
elongated
process.
We've
already
done
an
RFP.
We
have
the
documents.
T
C
T
I
think
where
that
came
from
his
previous
council
discussions
on
this
matter,
I
think
that
the
council
was
looking
for
as
active
a
use
as
possible
and
I
think
that
food
and
activity
often
traveled
together.
They
certainly
aren't
exclusive
I
think
from
what
I
heard
of
the
the
representatives
from
rock
climbing
that
they
often
bring
in
food
but
I
think
from
a
staffs
perspective.
We
just
want
this
to
be
an
active
facility,
and
so
we
can
highlight
the
the
sections
that
were
previously
in
there.
T
If
the
council
wishes
to
make
changes
to
to
make
it
more
broadly
entertainment
and
not
so
much
connected
to
food
is
we,
you
know,
we've
got
micro,
breweries
and
town
to
bring
in
food
trucks
to
bring
another
food.
So
I
think
this
idea
that
you
have
to
have
a
full
kitchen
to
offer
food
is
one
that's
changing
not
only
in
our
community
but
in
other
communities,
and
so
it
may
make
perfect
sense
to
you
know,
be
a
little
bit
different
in
the
approach.
N
A
Right
so
it
sounds
like
we
are
in
agreement
to
have
the
city
manager
work
on
our
termination
of
the
lease
options,
as
well
as
an
RFP
RFQ.
Coming
back
for
editing.
Is
that
correct
all
right?
So
we
need
to
vote
on
that
all
right,
so
that
was
moved
in
second,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed
all
right
that
passes.
Thank
you.
What's
the
alderman
breath
Way
has
joined
us
for
the
record.
We
are
k-8.
A
Is
resolution
19
our
18,
the
extension
of
a
license
to
Comcast,
allowing
maintenance
of
a
building
and
fence
and
the
right
away
of
Mulford
and
park
land
and
James
Park
staff
recommends
City
Council
adopt
this
resolution
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
a
four-year
extension
until
May
31st
2022
of
the
license
for
license
to
Comcast
for
facilities
in
James
Park.
The
total
revenue
for
the
license
agreement
will
be
ninety
five
thousand
six
hundred
sixteen
dollars.
This
is
for
action.
Second,
see
no
lights
for
discussion
that
has
moved
in.
A
U
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I'd,
like
to
move
ordinance
number
62,
0
18,
amending
the
hours
of
alcohol
service
outside
like
local
liquor.
Commission
recommends
the
City
Council's
adoption
of
the
ordinance
62
no
18
amending
the
city
code,
subsection,
3,
4
9
to
allow
the
extended
hours
of
alcohol
service.
The
ordinance
permits
the
local
liquor
commissioners
discretion
to
extend
hours
of
lawful
service
per
written
order.
C
A
B
I,
don't
have
any
problem
with
extending
hours
of
operation
and
you
all
know
I've
never
met
a
liquor
license.
I
didn't
like,
however,
however
I
don't
believe
the
mayor.
Has
the
authority
I,
don't
believe
the
liquor
commissioner?
Has
the
authority
to
do
this
and
I
don't
want
to
share
that
authority
with
the
liquor.
Commissioner,
we
make
all
the
rules
regarding
liquor
licenses
the
liquor
commissioner.
U
T
S
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
Alex
Mackay
assistant
city
attorney
city
managers,
correct
well,
we
do
not
have
that
provision.
Currently,
we
did
look
at
other
similar
municipalities
and
they've,
given
their
liquor
board,
commissioner,
that
provision
to
allow
for
this
and
also
to
allow
for
the
fee
to
extend
the
hours
so.
T
A
A
question
do
we
need
to
before
we
go
forward
with
just
just
this
ask:
do
we
need
to
update
I
guess
the
rules
for
our
liquor,
commissioner,
that
they
have
this
authority
since
it,
or
are
you
saying
that
I
know
you
said
it?
Other
cities
have
it,
but
it
sounds
like
we
don't
directly.
Have
it
here
at
the
city
of
Evanston,
so.
T
N
T
B
What
am
I
Rainey?
Well
I
did
a
lot
of
research
also
on
this
and
I
found
that
most
localities,
Liquor
Commission
Commissioner,
does
not
have
this
authority,
and
it's
probably
because
the
municipality,
City,
Council
or
Board
of
Trustees
or
whatever
is
in
that
municipality
did
not
afford
to
be
mayor
or
to
the
liquor.
Commissioner
and
I
I
just
think
you
know
there
gets
to
be
a
point
where
we
need
to
keep
some
control
over
liquor
in
our
town
and
I
I.
B
Don't
believe,
I
ever
voted
against
the
liquor
license,
so
you
might
be
able
to
find
one
someplace,
but
this
is.
This
is
a
job
for
us.
These
places
are
in
our
Ward's
and
in
our
neighborhoods
and
I
really
want
to
have
some
say
over
when
the
times
are
increased
or
decreased
for
whatever
reason
and
I
would
like
you
all
to
participate
in
making
those
decisions,
not
a
single
individual.
The
liquor,
commissioner
and
I
think
we
know
more
about
the
location
of
the
places
that
are
asking
for
additional
time
now.
B
If
you
want
to
get,
we
want
to
make
a
change
in
the
ordinance
that
says
certain
establishments
that
show
certain
soccer
games
are
uncertain
during
certain
seasons.
The
you
know
you
can
sell
alcohol
at
four
o'clock
in
the
morning,
for
example,
for
the
royal
wedding
is
coming
up
and
that's
coverage
is
gonna
start
at
3
a.m.
you
might
want
to
serve
champagne
at
3
a.m.
so,
but
that
shouldn't
be
up
to
the
liquor,
commissioner,
that
should
be
up
to
us
all
right.
A
A
D
U
N
T
Sorry
I
don't
mean
to
interrupt
the
committee's
deliberations.
Alderman
Wilson
was
thinking
exactly
what
I
was,
and
that
is
regardless
of
the
the
action
on
this
matter.
We
have
a
local
businesses
asking
for
relief
if
we
were
able
to
craft
something
for
introduction
at
the
City
Council
this
evening.
That
would
allow
the
City
Council
to
do
this
so
that
that
could
be
introduced
and
then
aldermen
braithwaite's
discussion
could
could
be
also
referred
to
the
Rules,
Committee
I.
Think
the
I
don't
sense.
There's
any
objection
to
this
specific
request.
T
And
alderman
fleming
members
of
the
committee
is
that
the
desire
of
the
committee
to
allow
the
Keltic
not
to
move
forward
with
us,
because
if
it
is,
we
would
like
the
abilities,
perhaps
have
an
alternate
amendment
to
this.
That
would
allow
them
the
City
Council
to
approve
it
so
that
they
would
have
the
ability,
I
believe
it's
June
14th
that
they're
looking
to
start.
So
this
would
still
take
introduction.
T
B
T
If
you
would
give
us
the
few
moments
between
the
committee
meeting
and
the
full
council
meeting
so
that
I
can
confer
at
the
assistant
city
attorney
and
perhaps
madam
chair,
this
could
just
be
pulled
from
the
consent
calendar.
We
can
discuss
it
at
that
point
and
we'll
have
an
from
that
path
for
the
council
to
accomplish
what
you're
looking
to
accomplish.
Okay,.
A
C
A
B
C
U
U
Good
evening,
thank
you
so
I'll
autumn
suffering,
I
won't
speak
for
you,
but
I'll
reference,
similar
questions
that
you've
raised
and
also
Alton
Rainey
and
other
members
of
the
committee
going
into
a
very
competitive
budget
season.
Where
we're
looking
to
save
money
in
our
budget,
you
know,
as
I,
read
through
the
vehicle
requests
from
time
to
time
things
come
up
that
are
confusing
to
me,
and
so
this
last
last
night
over
the
weekend.
U
This
is
a
perfect
example,
so
I
see
a
2013
vehicle
that
has
17,000
miles
and
I'm
sure
you're
going
to
give
me
a
really
good
explanation,
but
one
of
the
concerns
that
I
have
number
one
is
just
the
low
mileage
of
the
vehicle
and
I'm
asking
myself
like
and
there'll,
be
an
ask
for
a
report.
At
the
end
of
my
my
comments,
but
again
I
know.
My
understanding
is
that
we
have
a
maintenance
department.
That's
supposed
to
make
sure
that
the
you
know
the
oil
is
changed
regularly:
the
tires,
etc,
etc.
In
a
town.
U
That's
you
know,
four
by
four
miles
by
seven
miles.
I'm
really
trying
to
understand.
Is
this
an
urgent
request,
because
part
of
my
frustrations
is
as
I
read
through
each
request
and
it
doesn't
matter
what
the
dollar
amount
is
urgent
requests?
It's
almost
like
someone's
cutting
and
pasting
the
same
language
and
I'm
just
I.
Think
it's
safe
to
say,
with
this
committee
and
based
on
our
budget
needs
that
it's
not
going
to
fly
anymore,
understandable.
J
I'll,
do
my
best
to
explain
it
to
you,
okay,
so
this
is
this
vehicle
in
question,
which
is
vehicle
956.
It's
a
Jetta
vacuum
truck,
like
you
said
it's
a
2012
with
17,000
miles
on
it,
the
by
the
nature
of
this
piece
of
equipment,
it's
driven
to
different
locations
to
do
sewer
cleanup,
but
it's
actually
running
throughout
the
day.
Even
though
it's
not
traveling
miles,
it's
got
a
certain
number
of
runtime
on
it.
The
industry
industry
standard
shows
that,
for
every
hour
of
idling
time
that
equals
about
25
to
35
miles.
J
So
basically,
if
we
were
to
add
up,
you
know
the
the
amount
of
idling
time
over
the
years
that
this
vehicle
is
put
in.
It
actually
brings
us
closer
to
200,000
miles
once
you
add
that
on
for
the
five
years,
our
fleet
staff
does
provide
regular
preventative
maintenance
on
this
vehicle,
but
there's
also
some
specialty
components
for
the
vacuum
and
the
jetting
that
they
do
and
those
are
subject
to
a
lot
of
wear
and
tear
and,
and
that
there's
you
know
quite
a
bit
of
cost
that
goes
into
repairing
those
I.
J
V
Based
on
that
Public
Works
Agency,
the
city
actually
has
two
sewer
cleaning
machines
they're
in
operation
every
day,
in
that
the
city
attempts
to
clean
one-third
of
the
city,
its
drainage
structures
and
one-third
of
the
city
every
year
and
clean
the
sewer
pipe,
the
combined
sewer,
pipe
36
inches
and
smaller
throughout
the
city
once
every
four
years.
So
these
two
machines
are
out
on
the
street
every
day.
V
Unfortunately,
you
clean
about
30
catch
basins
a
day,
and
that
means
that
you're
only
going
about
two
blocks,
so
it
drives
from
the
water
plant
out
to
the
job
site,
and
then
it's
on
two
blocks
or
three
blocks
just
running
constantly
cleaning
drainage
structures,
the
other
machine
is
out
cleaning
sewer
pipe
and
we
get
about
a
thousand
for
you
today.
So
again,
you're
not
doing
a
lot
of
driving
you're,
mostly
sitting
there
running
this
equipment.
V
The
chassis
in
the
tires
and
the
maintenance
that
the
city
performs
is
basically
on
on
the
part
that
drives
the
compressor,
the
blowers,
the
fans
they
all
run
continuously
and
our
city
staff
cannot
repair
the
bearings
on
the
fan
that
creates
the
vacuum
to
pull
the
material
up.
Alva
drainage
structure,
alavés
sewer,
so
those
pieces
of
equipment
fail,
and
we
have
experienced
that
once
the
truck
is
more
than
five
years
old.
These
that's
when
your
six
is
when
this
equipment
starts
failing
and
we've
gone
through
that
and
then
your
six.
V
The
truck
is
out
for
to
the
night
and
our
shop,
both
to
the
shop
that
we
have
to
send
it
to
for
three
to
four
months
at
a
time
while
it's
being
repaired,
meaning
that
catch
basins
aren't
being
clean
or
sewer
pipes
aren't
being
cleaned.
So
we
took
all
this
maintenance
in-house
with
our
own
staff
rather
than
contracting
it
out
and
at
one
point
it
was
cheaper
to
contract
us
out,
but
once
the
labor,
the
the
union,
that
does
this
type
of
labor
raised
their
rates,
it
was
more
economical
for
a
city
to
do
this.
V
So
it's
a
type
of
work
that
needs
to
get
completed.
It's
our
opinion
that
this
is
the
most
economical
way
of
doing
it
by
doing
it
in-house,
but
you
need
two
trucks
to
be
able
to
do
it
and
that's
why
we
scheduled
to
replace
these
trucks
once
every
five
years
and
we
have
two
trucks
in
there.
We
separate
them
by
two
to
three
years,
so
it's
not
a
major
capital.
V
H
They're
just
you're
in
a
tough
spot
because,
like
we
demand
that
you
get
this
work
done
and
then
the
equipment
you
need
to,
do
it
it's
just
expensive,
and
here
we
find
ourselves
in
the
tough
budget,
and
this
is
the
time
to
do
it.
Is
there
a
way
to
get
another
year
out
of
this
truck?
And
though
you
said,
this
is
the
one
where
they
start.
V
To
fail,
but
all
right
now
the
truck
isn't
even
here,
because
it's
already
failed.
The
suction
tubes
that
are
used
to
bring
the
debris
up
is
basically
full
of
holes,
the
elbow
where
it
turns
it
has
to
make
it
like
a
90
degree.
Bend,
it's
more
like
a
75
degree
bent
that
elbow
is
completely
shot.
They
put
a
liner
inside
of
it.
So
yes,
can
we
run
in
another
year,
but
we
will
have
a
big
well
have
a
big
expense
now,
but
then
it
isn't.
V
The
fan
that
broke
in
the
bearings
once
the
bearings
go
bad
and
that
fan
I
believe
to
get
that
cost
is
somewhere
around
$30,000.
If
you
look
at
the
cost
that
it's
been
spent
in
this
vehicle
already,
it's
not
on
the
chassis
and
things
like
that,
there's
all
of
our
expense
so
far
has
been
on
this
other
maintenance.
It
sits
on
top
of
the
truck
other
equipment
that
sits
on
the
truck
so
yeah
if
we
get
another
year,
but
then
I
forget
when
the
next
one's
purchased.
H
H
U
U
Do
we
get
there
based
on
you
know
new
vehicles
low-cost,
you
know,
I
have
a
bunch
of
questions
so,
rather
than
as
you
describe
it,
I'm
gonna
go
back
and
read
through
the
criteria
and
then
I'll
you
know,
I
may
have
some
other
questions,
but
basically
I
guess
what
I'm
looking
for
is
just
a
real
brief
summary
to
understand
what
we
spent
in
2016
and
2017
and
then
to
have
a
good
understanding
of
what
we're
going
to
spend
this
year.
I
mean
I.
U
Think
we
all
anybody
who
drives
a
vehicle
I
ask
myself
the
question:
I
got
a
2005
Volvo
at
some
point.
I'm
gonna
have
to
replace
that
vehicle,
but
there
is
a
significant
cost
of
that
and
so
every
vehicle
that
comes
our
way.
I'm
gonna
ask
well,
you
know,
deferred
maintenance
that
you
know
what,
where,
where
does
it
make
sense
to
purchase
so
I
think
it
I
want
to
say.
U
Within
the
last
year
I
asked
the
question
about
maintenance
contracts
on
vehicles
and
I
recently
received
an
article
that
I'll
share
with
the
city
manager
and
whoever
with
you
as
well,
where
the
municipality
was
able
to
save
millions
of
dollars
by
renting
vehicles
and
I'm
sure
they're,
not
referring
to
these
big
large
rigs,
but
just
your
average
cars
that
are
driven
as
a
way
of
cost
savings.
So
is
it
possible
to
get
that
report
2016-2017
and
to
look
at
where
we're
going
to
spend
this
year?
T
Just
an
observation,
as
we
ran
a
thing
called
open,
braithwaite's
comments
are
very
you
know
appropriate,
given
where
we
are
with
the
budget.
I
mean
it's
a
policy
decision
for
the
council.
You
know
I
arrived
here
nine
years
ago
there
were
vehicles
that
you
could
see.
The
street
from
the
drivers
from
the
passenger's
side
is
that
the
city
kind
of
went
too
far
the
other
direction
of
it.
Saying:
okay,
let's
wait
one
more
year,
let's
wait
one
more
year
and
then
maintenance
cost
rise.
So
we've
we
have
paired
the
fleet
down
over
time.
T
We
have
tried
to
take
out
as
many
sedans
as
we
can.
We've
tried
to
go
green
with
electric
vehicles
and
whatnot,
which
have
generally
sometimes
better
maintenance
schedules
and
different
types
like
that.
So
we're
happy
to
look
at
that.
I
think
the
overall
question
is
is:
do
we
pay
now?
Do
we
pay
later
and
I
think
we
have
been
recognized
as
one
of
the
hundred
top
fleet
maintenance
operations
and
among
state
and
local
governments
in
the
United
States,
because
we've
done
a
very
good
job,
I
think
trying
to
manage
those
costs.
T
So
obviously
awards
are
one
thing:
the
budgets
another
thing,
and
so
we're
not
we're
not
doing
this
for
awards.
We're
doing
this
to
show
the
residents
of
Evanston,
so
we
are
good
stewards
of
their
dollars,
so
we're
happy
to
come
back
with
that
information.
I.
Think
with
all
that
said,
this
factor
is
very
important.
They're
out
tonight,
I'm
sure
clearing,
storm
water,
the
impacts
to
our
residents
not
having
this
type
of
equipment
is
different
than
not
having
a
sedan
that
our
building
inspectors
are
going
around
in
so
I
guess.
T
B
A
rainy
under
my
breath
right,
you're,
not
asking
to
hold
this
we're
gonna
move
forward
with
this
I
wanna
argue
no
I,
wanna
art,
no
you're,
not
no.
B
U
N
A
L
H
P
Think
my
question
is
I
read
this
was
where
these
funds
allowed
to
be
transferred
to
the
general
fund
and
not
kept
freely
for
the
impact
fees
on
the
neighborhood
the
residents.
This
is
a
concern
of
me
if
this
counsel
told
mr.
Bob
poets
that
he
was
to
maintain
those
funds
for
the
residents,
and
he
did
this
then
I
think
that's
a
very
serious
matter
with
his
performance.
So
that
needs
to
be
addressed
and
asked
because,
as
I
read
the
memo
it
appears
the
funds
were
transferred.
P
Just
like
the
night,
the
someone
asked
about
the
harlot
Clark
funds,
the
twenty
fifty
thousand
dollars
they
were
transferred.
If
he's
moving
funds
around
without
your
approval
and
the
public
thinks
the
funds
are
there
for
something.
That's
a
problem
and
what's
going
on
with
the
budget,
doesn't
leave
anyone
in
the
community
with
any
confidence
in
our
budget,
and
really
it's
very,
very,
very
concerning
what's
going
on
here
and
the
council
better
get
to
the
bottom
of
this
because
those
residents-
you
know,
don't
you
know,
borrowing
this
on
30-year
bonds
for
basically
engineering
work
is
ridiculous.
P
I
mean
you're,
worried
about
money
and
you're,
worried
about
Street,
suckers
and
sucking
trucks.
Actually
I
thought
mr.
stone
bed
for
once
gave
a
very
good
explanation.
I
asked
for
four
years
on
the
water
department.
I
can't
get
that,
but
at
least
he
did
a
good
job
on
what
he
just
did
about
the
water.
The
sewer
trucks
I
had
to
say,
so.
P
You
need
to
ask
some
very
tough
questions
about
this
budget
and,
what's
going
on
and
I,
think
it's
very
important
to
know
where
those
funds
want,
if
those
funds
were
allowed
to
be
used
that
way
or
not
what
and
you
need
an
explanation
of
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
W
Here
good
evening,
everyone
good
evening,
madam
chair
committee,
members
and
staff,
my
name
is
Janet
Alexander,
Davis,
Evanston,
citizen,
member
of
the
environmental
justice
Evanston
working
committee,
under
the
umbrella
of
citizens,
greener,
Evanston
and
also
under
brother
Tass,
Task
Force,
which
Ottoman
rule
Simmons
on
Broadway
staff.
A
cindy
levitt
from
the
village
and
others
have
been
working
in
this
area
to
provide
a
monitoring
program
to
determine
once
and
for
all
whether
there
are
anything
any
kind
of
chemicals
or
anything
going
on
in
the
environment
around
the
waste
transfer
station.
W
Also
here
tonight
is
one
of
the
senators
scientists
from
the
task
force
is
here
tonight
to.
If
there
are
questions
later
our
committee,
we
worked
very
long
and
hard
regarding
the
possible
impact
of
the
waste
transfer
station
and
our
in
support
of
the
funding
voted
on
by
City
Council.
Some
five
months
ago,
several
months
ago,
we
were
told
a
previously
positive
vote
to
fund
a
monitoring
program
for
this
site.
Funding
had
been
put
in
the
wrong
account
and
would
have
to
be
voted
on
once
again.
W
Thank
you
and
sorry
that
I
didn't
come
to
you
earlier.
So
much
of
this
process
feels
like
a
crapshoot
and
has
delayed
our
plans
to
notify
the
surrounding
neighbors
and
social
groups.
That
monitoring
once
and
for
all
would
happen
very
soon.
I've
had
to
cancel
us
appearing
before
groups
and
neighbours
several
times
due
to
this
delay.
We
didn't
want
to
go
to
people
if
we
didn't
have
the
equipment
to
show
them
when
they
saw
people
walking
around
in
the
neighborhood
with
them,
they
wouldn't
be
alarmed.
W
U
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
to
miss
Alexander
and
I,
see
a
few
other
faces
that
were
part
of
the
subcommittee
that
we
we
met
with
you
know.
Obviously
this
is
she
goes.
It
predates
the
members
of
council.
The
most
recent
discussions
that
I
would
want
to
recall
is
the
conversation
back
in
2016,
where
we
made
a
promise
to
the
community.
U
You
know,
based
on
a
number
of
surveys,
to
address
the
environmental
issue,
and
we
also
made
promises
to
restore
some
of
the
alleys
and
look
at
the
infrastructure
based
on
the
amount
of
truck
traffic
in
the
overall
impact.
I
think
the
goal
that
I
had
back
then
with
with
alderman
Holmes
and
now
alderman
Lew
Simmons,
is
you
know,
based
on.
U
Based
on
the
residents
and
the
the
cost
of
the
homes,
looking
at
some
of
these
repairs
probably
would
not
happen
in
the
near
future
based
on
our
current
budget
needs.
But
if
anything
we've
tried
to
move
the
waste
transfer
station,
we
can
provide
some
formal
financial
relief
to
the
homeowner.
So
with
that
being
said,
I
think
mrs.
Alexander
and
I
share
this
with
the
members
of
council.
Obviously
alderman
who
Simmons
is
very
much
aware
that,
and
probably
those
in
the
press
who
have
covered
this.
U
There
was
an
expectation
based
on
our
community
discussions
that
these
dollars
would
be
available
and
I
I'm,
very
I.
Don't
know
if
that
I
should
use
the
word
shocked
or
disappointed
because
I
recall
votes,
but
I
have
to
be
honest.
That
I
do
not
recall
a
vote
that
if
we
move
the
funds
to
the
general
fund,
so
I
understand,
I
was
informed
that
monies
have
always
been
separated
based
on
the
lawsuit
but
I,
don't
think
in
aldeman
Rainey.
U
Please
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
if
moving
these
funds
to
the
general
fund
meant
that
they
were
not
going
to
be
available
for
for
the
use
of
the
the
measuring
the
environmental
impact,
as
well
as
the
capital
needs.
I,
don't
recall
that
being
a
part
of
the
vote
and
it's
and
it's
a
little
shocking
right
now
and
almost
embarrassing
that
we
actually
have
to
bond
out
$200,000,
which
financially,
it's
really
hard
for
me.
To
get
my
hand
around
that
I
don't
understand!
Why
did
we
meet
as
a
joint
committee,
both
fifth
and
second
Ward
residents?
U
Kumar
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
meetings
that
we've
we've
had
with
with
both
aldermen
as
well
the
newly
appointed
@fe
I'm.
Looking
at
this
as
a
environmental
justice
issue
and
after
the
questions
were
raised
several
months
ago
with
the
city
manager
that
we
actually
have
to
to
bond
it,
and
so
my
conflict
is
twofold-
is
that
first
of
all
we
made
promises
to
the
neighborhood.
We
had
a
very
clear
schedule
that
we
were
supposed
to
start
meetings
as
early
as
January
staff
was
involved
in.
U
You
know
I'm
not
going
to
call
any
names,
but
it's
it's
been
said
to
me
that
these
projects
have
been
put
on
hold
and
I.
Just
don't
understand
when
whenever
that
decision
was
made,
Alvin
Simmons
I
mean
I
know
that
you're
gonna
have
your
own
comments,
but
I
feel
a
little
bit
blindsided
by
this
and
I
can't
move
forward
with
bonding
$200,000
for
equipment
based
on
the
discussions
that
we've
had
in
the
committee.
It
just
doesn't
make
sense
to
to
put
this
on
a
loan
payment
with
interest.
That's
gonna
have
an
impact
to
our
debt.
C
Lot
of
memory
Simmons,
thank
you,
so
I
want
to
be
careful
to
separate
the
two
so
that
we
do
not
further
prolong
the
timeline
for
the
environmental,
the
environment,
environmental
equipment
and
the
services
and
understand
more
about
the
process
in
which
these
funds
were
approved
for
the
general
fund
and
if
it
was
to
balance
a
budget
I'm
very
concerned
that
it
was
done
at
the
environmental
injustice
to
the
area.
That
is
most
impacted.
So
I'd
like
some
answers
on
that
and
then
also
in
terms
of
looking
at
a
bond
for
this
fee.
C
What
is
the
balance
of
the
is
it
called
the
impact
fees
or
the
fees
that
we've
been
collecting
starting
January
1?
What
what
balance
do
we
have
of
those
funds?
And
why
can't
we
use
those
funds
as
well
and
I
certainly
walked
with
director
stone
back
in
autumn
and
Braithwaite
in
our
Ward's
to
identify
infrastructure
improvements,
including
alleys
and
and
other
improvements,
and
message
that
to
the
community
on
a
tower
inconvenience?
These
funds
are
going
to
be
set
aside
for
improvements
for
us
and
environmental
monitoring.
T
Be
floating
all
over
great
five
members
of
the
committee.
This
has
been
a
long-standing
issue.
We
have
waited.
I
have
waited
and
I'm
the
one
responsible
for
here
I'm,
the
the
city
manager
and
these
decisions
were
mine
to
wait
until
I
thought
that
there
was
consensus
moving
forward
with
both
pieces
and
that's,
but
I
would
like
to
turn
your
attention
to
page
186
of
the
packet.
T
The
staff
report
on
this
item
that
talks
about
how
we
got
here
that
in
2016
the
1
million
$263,000
collected
and
transfer
fees
since
2011
was
deposited
into
the
general
fund,
so
the
money
has
always
been
in
the
general
fund
at
the
conclusion
of
the
lawsuit
which
then
made
that
money
available
I
came
to
the
City
Council
on
May
23rd
2016
and
made
a
recommendation
that
$500,000
of
those
fees
be
transferred
to
the
general
fund
reserve
and
that
763
thousand
dollars
be
transferred
to
the
city's
capital
projects
fund.
At
that
meeting
the
item
was
held.
T
There
was
a
discussion
by
the
council
at
that
point
that
they
wanted
to
have
additional
discussions
with
the
community.
On
these
matters,
a
subcommittee
was
formed
that
include
alderman,
Holmes
Alderman,
a
Braithwaite
and
Alderman
Ravel
included
herself,
because
she
felt
the
environmental
justice
issues
were
important
to
be
discussed.
This
item
has
not
been
before
the
council
since
then,
there
have
been
really
were
two
paths
that
were
taken
one
path,
dealing
with
the
environmental
justice,
work
and
I.
T
Think
all
of
you
have
I
think
it
undone
a
job
as
far
as
explaining
the
work
that's
been
done
there.
The
second
piece
that
was
unresolved
was
the
capital
improvements.
This
money
has
always
remained
in
the
general
fund.
Time
has
passed,
the
money
was
not
allocated
and
so
remains
in
the
general
fund
balance.
So
the
City
Council
may
choose
to
spend
this
money
hotter
general
fund
balance
as
you
see
fit.
T
If
you
feel
that
it's
not
appropriate
to
move
forward
with
the
monitoring
equipment
from
bond
proceeds,
we
can
take
it
from
general
fund
balance
and
we'll
make
those
adjustments
and
the
next
time
the
council
amends
the
budget.
We
can
have
that
dollars
there.
The
capital
dollars
were
discussed.
Alderman
Braithwaite
chaired
a
committee
that
met
several
times.
My
understanding
is
that
largely
those
discussions
ended
around
the
election
cycle
last
year
and
were
not
finished,
and
so
that
is
the
reason
why
the
money
was
not
a
located
back
in
to
the
capital
projects
fund.
T
Again
it
was
staffs
desire
to
do
that
back
in
on
May
23rd
2016
by
the
council
asked
instead
that
additional
discussions
be
held
with
the
community
bottom
line
is
the
money
was
received,
it
is
in
our
accounts
and
the
council
may
direct
that
it
be
spent
as
you
see
fit.
Finally
autumn,
Simmons
asked
about
the
monies
on
account,
I
believe
and
I.
Don't
think
finance
staff
here
I
think
it's
approximately
$40,000
that
that's
been
collected
and
that
is
now
in
a
separate
account
in
the
solid
waste
fund.
T
So
as
those
fees
are
coming
in
that
money
is
being
segregated.
But
let
me
repeat
that
these
monies
were
deposited
in
the
general
fund
have
remained
in
the
general
fund.
There
were
no
allocations
elsewhere,
but
they
remained
unallocated
reserves
of
the
general
fund
and
so
and
they
remain
there.
So
again,
all
the
vin
fleming
members
of
the
committee-
it's
up
to
the
committee
tonight,
to
provide
direction
as
to
how
you'd
like
to
spend
the
money
and
from
what
source
if
it
comes
through
bonding
or
comes
through
some
other
fashion.
I
remember.
A
C
If
we
decide
not
to
go
through
bond
and
we
go
through
general
fund-
is
that
something
that
we
could
decide
on
today
in
this
council
meeting
I
want
to
be
careful
not
to
prolong
the
timeline,
because,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
we
may
be
behind
by
a
quarter
or
so,
and
it's
Kumar
here.
I
Course,
good
evening,
members
of
the
committee,
madam
chairman
staff,
Kumar
Jenson
sustainability
coordinator
for
the
city,
so
the
timeline
that
we
I
don't
want
to
say
initially
but
most
recently
agreed
upon
was
that,
depending
on
when
the
funds
would
be
approved,
we
would
begin
purchase
or
the
purchasing
process
for
them.
In
January,
we
essentially
created
about
a
four
month
time
frame
from
when
the
initial
monitoring
would
take
place,
which
would
be
the
soil
samples
in
and
around
the
sites
and
then
from
January.
I
Essentially
through
the
beginning
of
April,
we
would
go
through
the
purchasing
process
to
acquire
the
other
monitoring
equipment,
as
well
as
hold
those
community
meetings
with
the
organisations
and
individuals
who
would
be
most
interested
and
impacted
by
by
the
study
in
the
neighbourhood
and
so
I
think.
Initially,
we
thought
we
sort
of
needed
about
a
four
month
time
frame
to
do
all
of
that.
All
of
that
work
so.
C
We
need
to
have
a
response
to
this
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
can
decide
as
a
council
to
move
forward
with
spending
the
money
out
of
our
general
fund.
But
what
would
that
do?
What
sort
of
consequences
would
come
from
that
if
we
made
that
decision
today,
I
want
to
make
every
effort
to
honor
the
timeline
that
we
have
since
we're.
Behind
already
we.
T
U
U
Think
we've
used
a
two-block,
radius
and
and
I
think
I've
said
in
the
past.
It's
almost
like
there's
a
TIF
there,
meaning
that
those
funds
are
to
be
allocated
specifically
for
that
community.
That
lives
in
close
proximity
and
please
by
no
stretch
of
the
imagination
or
even
by
my
statement.
I
was
saying
that
that's
enough,
based
on
what
the
community
in
that
area
has
to
live
with,
but
I
think
there
is
a
sincere
promise
that
we're
gonna
do
our
best
to
provide
as
much
relief
as
possible.
So
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear.
U
I
understand
you
know
in
a
very
competitive
budget
season
that
that
may
be
the
will
of
some.
But
with
that
motion
to
move
out
that
the
total
sum
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
put
a
clear
direction
that
those
funds
should
be
used
specifically
for
those
neighbors
that
are
in
two-block.
Proximity
of
the
waste
transfer
station.
T
Mind
right
now,
I'm
not
sure
why?
Because
the
idea
was
that
the
the
the
1
million
two
hundred
sixty
three
thousand
two
forty
eight
would
be
used
for
environmental
monitoring
as
well
as
Calphalon
proof.
Us
wait
say
that
again,
my
understanding
was
the
council's
of
the
direction
back
in
twenty.
Sixteen
was
to
spend
the
funds
for
environmental
monitoring
from
that
1.2
million
as
well
as
capital,
so
we're
gonna
move
forward
with
the
spending
of
the
environmental
monitoring.
That
I
would
like
to
just
have
the
balance
go
to
this
sub
fund
for
solid
waste,
correct.
C
B
I
T
C
Simmons,
thank
you.
I
would
also
like
director
stone
back
to
any
sort
of
notes
that
were
taken
on
the
walk
that
we
did
myself
in
autumn
and
Braithwaite
last
fall
in
the
in
the
alleyways
of
the
second
and
the
fifth
Ward.
If
we
can
have
a
report
on
that,
and
I
could
learn
more
about
how
we
take
actions
forward
to
make
those
improvements.
So.
T
U
Wouldn't
I'm,
sorry,
if
this
is
discussion,
I
wouldn't
live.
It
I
think
that
that
was
the
main
focus
and
understanding,
but
I
wouldn't
limit
it
strictly
to
capital
improvements
in
the
event
that
there's
some
programmatic
needs
that
come
out.
One
of
the
things
that
we
discussed
in
great
detail
is
that
this
environmental
study
is
very
important
just
to
relieve
some
of
the
anxiety
with
the
neighbors.
U
So
I
would
like
to
hope
that,
should
it
go
either
way
and
if
there
is
a
need
for
additional
monitoring
or
follow-ups
that
were
not
tied
to
just
spending
those
dollars
on
capital
needs
and
I
don't
want
to
make
any
predictions.
But
that
was
something
that
we
made
very
clear
in
the
committee
with
our
residents
that
this
initial
splash
or
impact
study
may
require
additional.
So.
Q
T
A
C
N
C
T
C
T
A
T
So
the
revised
number
is
1
million
70,000,
seven
four
seven,
so
we
will
spend
the
192
thousand
as
described
in
this
action.
Will
service
council
approval
for
that
expenditure
and
then
that
balance
number
will
be
suitable,
be
submitted
to
the
fund
sub
fund
of
the
solid
waste
fund
where
we
are
collecting
the
tipping
fees?
The
host
agreement
entered
information
all.
A
A
U
U
I
C
B
I,
don't
I
don't
want
to
leave
the
world
with
the
belief
that
putting
money
in
the
general
fund
is
hiding
it
or
in
any
way
allowing
it
to
be
misused?
Our
general
fund
has
I
think
about
a
hundred
eighteen
million
dollars
in
it
and
of
that
so
many
of
our
expenses
come
out
of
it.
So
I
agree.
This
money
should
have
been
earmarked
in
some
way,
but
I
think
to
leave
people
with
any
feeling
that
the
money
was
being
misappropriated
or
misused
or
hidden
or
being
lost,
and
the
general
fund
is
not
correct.
B
The
general
fund
is
our
most
important
fund.
Our
budget
I
mean
it's
a
hundred,
it's
well
over
a
hundred
million
dollars
and
the
expenses
I
mean
those
are
the
expenses.
The
revenue
is,
you
know,
over
100
million
also
claim
goodness.
So
it's
the
general
fund
is
not
a
bad
thing.
The
general
fund
is
a
good
thing,
but
we
do
have
special
funds
and
like
the
neighborhood
fund,
etc,
etc,
but
just
because
that
money
has
been
held
there
doesn't
mean
there
was
anything
untoward
going
on
just
want
to
comment
on
that.
