What's
working
and
what's
not,
it's
become
obvious
to
me
in
terms
of
some
personal
experiences
as
well
as
watching
others,
and
actually
others
telling
me
of
theirs
that
it's
it's
more
than
ever
now
important
to
have
agency
and
to
have
our
rights
respected,
whether
it's
a
disability
or
whatever,
there's
a
downstream
effect
with
poor
litigation,
and
you
end
up
having
more
so
with
good
litigation
and
good
laws
and
good
ordinances.
This
is
kind
of
something
people
can
easily
see
when
mr.
E
So
with
that
I'm
asking
for
a
lay
a
11
that
there
be
consideration
that
that
be
built
into
the
structure
of
either
this
ordinance
or
any
future
ordinances,
or
even
with
regard
to
the
definitions
we
apply
to
how
we
look
at
our
legal
department
so
that
we
can
grow
as
a
community
and
not
be
held
behind
by
things
needlessly
obstruction
that
we
already
know
do
exist
and
can
be
eliminated
by
just
working
together.
Thank
you.
Thank.

both
have
to
do
with
purchases

Both
items
should
be
should
not
be
authorized
until
citizens
requests
for
information
denied
over
the
past
year
and
longer
are
answered.
There
are
over
25
individual
requests
known
to
the
city,
manager
and
staff
that
have
not
been
answered,
not
the
least
of
which
is
why

The
proposed
sale
of
bonds,
any

be
a
referendum,
questioned
a

the
sale
of
marijuana
and
the
locations
of
sale
and
the

deserves
much
more
discussion
at

with

have
a
separate

on
this
subject.

pose
the

as
a

This
is
a
recipe
for
squandering

there
is
no

charges,

increasing
the
water

and
water

by

This
increase
has
a
corresponding
decrease
to
the
sewer
rate
and
is
cost
neutral
to
Evanston
residents.
A
A

staff
recommends
that

adoption

o

A

The
transportation
and
parking
committee
and
staff
recommend
City
Council,
adoption
of
ordinance,
145,
o
19
amending
various
sections
of
title

chapter
11,
motor

pertaining

for
introduction.
A
D
H
C
A
six
is
the
pre-qualification
of
contractors
for
cured
and
place
rehabilitation
of
sewer
mains.
The
staff
recommends
a
proving
the
following
contractors,
as
listed
in
the
packet
when
these
prime
contracts
are
awarded,
they
will
be
funded
from
the
sewer
fund.
So
my
question:
no
actually
a
move
was
this
move
approval
to
I've
said
that
Kimberly
for
introduction
before
I
start.
My
discussion
do.
C
Okay,
so
I
pulled
this
off
because,
as
I
was
looking
at
these
contractors
and
I
realize
we're
not
giving
them
any
business
at
this
time
there
was
no
documentation,
as
we
usually
have
about
the
MWBE,
so
it
just
lists
these
contractors,
as
you
know
that
they
were
responsive
and
that
they
qualified
for
this
work,
but
it
doesn't
have
anything
in
here
regarding
their
MWBE
status.
So
I
asked
the
city
manager
if
she'd
have
staff
here
to
address
the.
J
Good
evening,
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
de
stone
back
Public
Works
Agency
director,
this
is
just
to
prequalify
the
contractor,
so
there
is
no
actual
work
being
awarded
at
this
time.
So,
as
we
bid
projects
in
2020,
then
we
will
bring
them
back
to
City
Council
for
an
actual
award
and
at
that
time
they'll
have
to
state
their
MWe,
be
utilization.
C
So
I
understand
that,
but
even
at
this
time
it
is
it
feasible
for
us
to
try
to
see
if
there
are
any
contractors
that
qualify
I
mean
when
these.
So
if
we
pick
one
of
these
people
for
a
job
in
2020
and
they
don't
qualify,
we
understand
that
there
are
some
things
that
they,
you
know,
there's
a
fee
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
But
I
think
it's
advantageous,
maybe
of
us
to
try
to
find
someone
out.
We
is
a
minority
or
women
owned
business
to.
C
J
Generally
asked
for
a
waiver
of
the
MWBE
goal
in
the
past,
some
have
asked
to
waiver
the
LEP
program,
but
most
of
the
firms
are
now
submitting
to
comply
with
the
LEP
there's
very
little
subcontracting
opportunities
in
this
type
of
work.
This
is
lining
of
small
diameter
sewer
mains,
ranging
in
size
from
nine
inch
to
36
inch
they're
generally
at
one
at
the
at
that
job
site
for
one
day
and
then
move
on
to
the
next
job
site.
J
H
H
C
C
K
H
I
mean,
alternatively,
we
could
get
it
out
of
committee
and
have
a
discussion
at
folk
council
I.
Just
my
issue
is
that,
while
this
is
definitely
establishing
what
our
past
practice
has
been,
we
haven't
had
a
full
discussion
about
what
they're
not
this
is
the
best
practice.
So
in
order
to
facilitate
the
discussion,
whatever
you
think,
is
the
right
thing
to
do.
If
you
want
to
pass
this
out
to
Council
and
have
the
full
discussion
today,.
A
A
H
F
A
D
F
A
F
A
L
It's
good
evening,
chair
and
committee
members
I
just
would
like
to
acknowledge.
Also
my
name
is
Jessica
Hank
I'm,
the
transportation
mobility
coordinator.
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
that
we
have
representatives
from
lived
here
tonight
to
also
answer
questions
about
about
the
proposed
contract,
rønneberg
and
John
John
Stifler.
To
answer
your
questions
about
how
this
is
cost
neutral,
lyft
is
taking
on
all
of
the
the
costs
of
the
program,
and
so
our
projections,
the
rest
of
2019,
show
that
we
will
incur
a
cost.
Lift
will
be
waiving
those
costs
to
the
cities.
L
L
They
will
continue
to
incur
those
costs
moving
forward
as
well,
and
so
then
there
would
there
would
be
no
actual
line
items,
however,
in
the
city's
budget,
because
we
will
not
be
built
for
any
future
cost
and
we
will
not
be
receiving
any
revenue
like
we
are
right
now,
unless
we
max
out
at.
If
we
start
earning
revenue,
the
program
starts
earning
revenue
of
at
250
K
a
year
on
user
revenue.
Then
we
would
receive
5%
of
of
that
revenue.
L
C
So
I
I
pulled
this
off
just
because
I
was
voting,
no
I,
not
anti
bicycle,
but
I
brought
this
up
and
parking
and
transportation
which
is
I
have
concerns
about
adding
more
bikes
to
our
streets
when
we
have
not
added
more
infrastructure
for
bicycles.
So
we
know
we
have
the
dodge
bike
lanes
and
we
have
some
really
nice
ones
on
Church,
Street
other
than
that.
C
The
rest
of
them
are
not
what
I
would
say:
I'm
sufficient
for
continued
addition
of
bike,
not
that
I
don't
want
people
to
bike,
but
I
want
them
to
bike
safely.
I
know
we
had
a
discussion
not
too
long
about
people
biking
on
the
sidewalks.
We
had
that
discussion
of
parking
and
transportation,
so
anyhow
I'm
glad
it's
cost
neutral,
but
I'll
be
voting.
No,
because
I
would
like
us
to
actually
put
in
some
infrastructure
for
bicycles
as
well,
for
encouraging
more
bicycle
riding.
H
I
was
doing
all
in
one
thing:
I'm
a
15
is
ordinance
170,
no
19

the
first

own

approving

Pursuant
to

staff
recommends
City

adopts

no
19
designating
a

This
is
for
introduction.
H
C
I
have
a
question
actually
Audrey
Fleming,
so
I
I
would
like,
if
staff
can
bring
this
back
for
a
City
Council.
If
you
can
show
no
no
autumn
arena,
did
this
at
some
point,
but
we
have
a
few
different
tips.
If
you
can
show
us
or
show
me
a
document
that
shows
what
the
TIF
funds
like
and
then
what
our
bond
it
balances
up.
C
The
correct
terminology,
I'm
not
sure,
is
on
the
Tift
I
know:
I've
had
several
residents
and
I'm,
not
the
best,
that's
like
to
explain
ever
who
call
who
have
emailed
about
Tiff's
and
asking
you
know
we
bond
against
the
Tiff's,
and
so
is
it
kind
of
like
a
credit
card
and
so
I
think
if
we
can
provide
that
documentation,
that
would
be
helpful.
Thank.
B
A
K
K
A
F
Good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
committee,
Erica
store
the
interim
city
manager,
Michelle
Mason
cup.
Our
corporation
council
drafted
this
as
I
understand
it.
There's
provisions
in
the
city
code
that
allow
for
citations
to
be
issued.
If
you
are
in
possession
of
cannabis
and
with
the
new
law,
that's
taking
effect
on
January
1,
where
that
is
no
longer
an
offense
that
will
be
permitted
for
adults
21
and
over.
This
will
codify
that
and
so
starting
on
January
1.
You
would
no
longer
be
issued
a
citation
for
carrying
or
possessing
legal
amounts
of
recreational
marijuana.
F
C
You
sure
I
have
a
quick
question:
Audrey
Fleming.
Thank
you.
Sorry
to
have
my
light
on
so
I
guess.
Maybe
this
is
also
for
Chief,
since
he's
sitting
here
so
I
know
this
is
a
state
law
we're
gonna
comply
with.
But
how
will
we
explain?
Maybe
we
won't
have
to
explain,
but
how
will
you?
Why
will
we
work
with
the
community?
So
people
understand
what
the
legal
amounts
are.
I
mean
I.
It
talks
about
a
flower
here
and
all
that
kind
of
thing.
Good.
M
C
And
then
I
know
from
you
know,
reading
some
of
the
police
reports.
Sometimes
when
you
all
stop
a
person
for
speeding
or
whatever
the
offense
is
sometimes
a
search
that
might
be
incorrect,
but
I
think
a
search
can
occur
if
the
officer
smells
marijuana,
so
not
necessary
right
now,
but
maybe
Human
Services.
You
can
talk
to
us
about
how
that
process
will
work.
C
M
We
always
pay
attention
in
terms
of
audit.
You
know,
through
our
office
of
Professional
Standards,
on
how
a
search
which
is
a
Fourth
Amendment
issue
inspires
from
a
traffic
stop.
We
pay
real
close
attention
to
that.
So
now
it's
gonna
it's
gonna
more
than
likely
end
up
in
terms
of
being
a
DUI
if
they
can
prove
it.
There
are
several
at
the
International
Association
of
Chiefs
of
Police.
The
new
testing
equipment
that
will
determine
your
sobriety
level
with
respect
to
cannabis
should
be
coming
out
by
June
of
next
year.
Okay,.
C
F
Just
gonna
add
one
quick
thing,
because
I've
talked
to
some
of
you,
but
not
all
of
you
about.
We
want
to
do
two
community
meetings
for
the
general
public
to
understand
what
these
allowable
amounts
are.
One
of
them
will
be
geared
towards
residents
who
want
to
know
what
they
can
and
can't
do
so,
just
a
very
basic
overview.
D
F
F
N
I
This
is
an
apropos
anymore
because
of
the
discussion
we
just
had,
but
one
of
the
things
representative
Cassidy
said
at
our
meeting
was
that
it's
it's
similar
to
beer.
Beer
is
legal.
You
can't
drink
a
beer
in
your
car
and
you're,
not
gonna,
be
able
to
smoke
a
joint
in
your
car
because
it
creates
a
sense.
You
know
a
different
state
of
awareness
so
that
she
said
that
is
sort
of
the
I'm.
I
I
D
A
C
D
H
Don't
mean
22
is
ordinance
141
own
19
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
a
lease
of
city-owned
real
property
located

suspension

action
at

2019
City
Council
meeting.
I
H
I
Yes,
this
is
a
really
important
item
on
the
agenda
tonight.
I,
you
know,
everybody
has
their
thing.
It's
all
relative
and
I
know
all
them
suffer.
Then
you
have
an
issue
with
suspending
the
rules
on
anything.
However,
if
I
could
make
an
argument
and
I
am
really
embarrassed-
that
I
didn't
get
to
call
you
today.
But
let
me
just
say
this.
I
The
reason
I
believe
this
is
worth
suspending
the
rules
on
is
because
the
economic
development
committee
dealt
with
this
and
the
unanimous
vote
on
September
25th,
which
is
almost
you
know
it's
at
least
a
month
and
a
half
ago.
This
should
have
come
to
the
council
sometime
in
October,
but
it
didn't
for
various
reasons,
and
you
know
that
had
to
do
with
chucked
agendas,
the
northwestern
issue,
public
hearings,
etc.
I
One
of
the
issues
was
the
got
rejected
one
time
because
they
didn't
have
the
name
of
the
restaurant
in
the
in
the
application,
but
it's
been
ready
for
the
agenda.
Exactly
every
single
word.
Almost
in
this
packet
was
the
same
presentation
given
to
the
Timber.
25Th
was
happened
other
than
all
the
purchases
that
they've
made.
One
of
the
items
that
I
think
is
misleading.
Is
that
they're
getting
all
the
kitchen
equipment?
Well,
all
the
kitchen
equipment,
Corley
didn't
have
a
real
kitchen.
I
They
had
like
a
bakery
and
the
the
operators
of
the
restaurant
estación
have
purchased
a
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand
dollars
worth
of
kitchen
equipment,
because
there's
no
stove
there's
no
vent,
there's
no
grill,
there's
no
and
anything
having
to
do
with
cooking
or
frying
or
grilling,
so
that
that's
all
in
expenditure.
They
really
want
to
open
by
the
1st
of
January.
The
neighbors
are
supportive
of
this.
Nobody
has
opposed
it
as
far
as
I'm
as
far
as
I
know
once
this
goes
on,
the
tech
goes
back
on.
The
tech
shows.
I
guess
it
still
is.
I
I
This
is
a
business
thing
time.
You
are
a
business
guy,
your
family
owned
a
restaurant.
They
know
what
a
two-week
delay
in
opening
a
restaurant
is
going
to
be.
Everybody
supports
this
I,
the
restaurants
next
door
to
it
support
it.
The
only
delay.
The
only
thing
a
delay
will
cause
is
a
delay
in
negotiating
the
fine
points
of
the
lease.
This
is
this.
I
H
B
H
I
H
I
I
However,
we
cannot
hold
the
owners
of
Libertad,
whose
father,
by
the
way,
was
the
founder
of
Las
Palmas
and
had
restaurants
for
thirty
years
in
the
city
of
Evanston
and
and
spent,
and
contributed
to
our
coffers
for
30
years
liquor
and
sales
tax
and
served
in
the
northwestern
community
and
the
city
of
Evanston
and
the
city
of
Chicago
on
Howard
Street.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
that
was
where
their
first
Las
Palmas
restaurant
was
open
and
they
you
know
they
have
never
led
the
city
of
Evanston
down
so
they're.
I
Now
in
Skokie
they
got
rave
reviews
from
Skokie
they're
opening
up
a
a
place
in
the
former
Kurt's
cafe.
Nobody
said
anything
about
that,
you
know.
Are
they
gonna
fail
there?
This?
This
is
a
pretty
established.
We
have.
We
have
vetted
their
finances,
I,
don't
think
we
vetted
the
finances
of
Pascal
by
Phelim
you,
but
we
have
vetted
these
people.
We
have
learned
from
that
mistake:
I'm.
A
F
C
It
Ottoman
Fleming,
so
I
have
a
question
for
staff
because
and
I
don't
know
the
last
restaurant
person
I
mean
I
hope
these
people
are
responsible
for
the
last
people.
They're
not
the
same,
but
I
do
have
a
question
for
staff,
which
is
one
did
the
last
gentleman
yet
pay?
Oh,
so
do
we
have
a
payment
plan
to,
and
this
is
maybe
a
question
you
have
to
address
later.
C
If
you
don't
know
the
answer
right
now,
but
how
have
we
remedied
the
situation
on
our
side
to
make
sure
that
whoever
we
least
to
we
don't
find
out?
You
know,
year,
six
months
later,
that
they
haven't
paid
us
and
then
three
another
comment,
I
think
for
staff,
which
is
you
know,
bottom
of
Rainey's
timeline
about
being.
This
was
passed
in
October
and.
C
You
know
in
there
away
and
I
know
we
have
these
very
long
meetings,
but
is
there
a
way
that
we
can
I?
Guess
it's
a
suggestion?
We
work
with
our
agendas
so
that
if
we
know
a
business
is
trying
to
come
online
or
you
know
whatever
the
case
is
we
kind
of
either
get
them
on
the
schedule
in
appropriate
amount
of
time
or
we
just
tell
businesses
hey
it
takes
four
months
or
six
months
or
whatever
to
go
through
our
process.
I
I
just
say
one
thing:
instead
of
focusing
on
the
one
failure
that
we
had,
we've
had
people
who
have
double
paid
their
rent,
we've
had
people
who
are
successful,
who
have
Zagat
reviews
who
were
named
the
30
of
30
best
restaurant
tours.
We've
had
a
few
successes
down
there.
We
had
one
dismal
failure.
My.
O
C
O
He's
still
in
default,
our
legal
team
is
continuing
to
discuss
repayment
of
of
both
the
the
rent
and
the
loan
payments.
Okay.
So
if
you,
if
you
look
at
our
weekly
city
council
report,
the
status
of
that
particular
loan
indicates
that
there
is
potential
litigation
for
that
for
that
particular
issue.
So
that
matter
is
not
closed.
I,
don't
know
what
else
to
say
about
that.
That
was
it.
C
O
There's
nuance
to
that
we
were.
We
were
aware
that
mr.
Bartholomew
was
not
paying
for
perhaps
90
days
of
that
a
default
period
and
we
were
in
communication
with
him
and
encouraging
him
to
to
pay,
and
that
didn't
happen.
So
that's
when
we
implemented
eviction
proceedings,
however
I
just
to
backward
aldeman
Rainey
said:
we've
done
a
number
of
these,
maybe
a
dozen
over
the
last
eight
years,
I've
been
on
staff
and
we
have
not
had
defaults
as
a
matter
of
course.
O
I
dare
say
it,
but
chicken
and
waffles
was
one
of
the
others
and
I
think
that
outcome
of
that
once
that
that
particular
property
was
renovated
and
I
think
alderman
birthday
was
support.
We
turned
a
Bandhan
autoStore
provided
the
fabric
for
a
new
restaurant
and
I.
Think
cobble
house
is
doing
well.
I
would
argue
that
the
same
thing
is
happening
here
at
6:33,
Howard
and
hopefully
we'll
get
our
money
back
from
Pascal
I.
Think
question
three
was
more.
O
C
C
Our
steps
are,
but
you
know
just
for
us
to
be
more
mindful
either
of
getting
it
on
the
agenda
earlier
and
I
know:
you're,
not
the
agenda
master
or
giving
the
business
owners
an
idea
of
how
long
it's
going
to
take
so
that
they
don't
you
know,
get
one
foot
out,
they're
ready
to
go,
and
then
we
kind
of
slow
them
up
with
our
process
was
just
my
suggestion.
It
was
another
question.
Is.
N
So
here's
the
part
of
that
is
because
and
that's
why
I'm
specifically
asking
a
question
and
I
want
to
hear
from
the
owner
as
well
unfortunate
I
wasn't
that
the
economic
develop
meaning
we
were
talking
about
this
and
so
I'm.
Looking
at
the
lease
agreement,
you're
you're,
it's
almost
like
you're
prepaying
down
on
the
loan
and
in
the
city
of
Evanston
taxpayer
dollars
are,
are
financing
this
proposed
mortgage
and
you
don't
know
what
the
value
is,
which
is
a
concern
right.
We.
O
N
Think
the
larger
question
is
from
a
business
standpoint
and
I
probably
want
to
hear
from
the
owner
there's
an
obvious
answer
of
why
you
would
want
to
purchase
versus
leasing.
But
this
is
a
hybrid
that
you
don't
really
see
in
the
marketplace,
and
so
I'm
curious
to
know
is
his
intention
to
it
is
to
purchase,
and
why
doesn't
he
do
it
now?
Just
from
the
owners
standpoint.
B
N
P
So
to
your
question:
why
don't
I
purchase
or
why
are
me
purchasing
the
building
right
now?
Honesty's,
because
we
were
you
know
it's
large
investment
trying
to
get
that
you
know
get
the
restaurant
open,
so
most
of
the
funds
are
going
into
the
other
equipment
that
needs
to
be
put
into
there.
We
do
have
to
tear
down
some
walls
and
make
the
space
a
little
bit
bigger.
So
there's
there's
quite
a
bit
of
investment
into
the
property
as
well.
You.
N
Know
it's
it's
it's
an
interesting
arrangement
and
if
I
was
purchasing
it
and
if
I
didn't
have
this
type
of
financing,
I
would
have
to
get
either
additional
capital
or
I
could
purchase
a
mortgage
and
then
hopefully
take
a
line
of
equity.
If
I
knew
what
the
value
is
worth
so
they're
just
some
questions
that
looking
at
the
deal,
the
way,
it's
structured
that
I
that
I
have
but
I
at
least
understand
your
your
answer.
P
Ideally,
we
were
some
some
point
along
the
the
world
we
would
like
to
purchase.
If,
if
it
makes
sense,
is
be
one,
the
first
option
to
be
able
to
purchase
the
building,
but
you
know
at
this
point
that
they
just
we
don't
we
don't
have
I
mean
take
it
out,
another
line
of
credit
or
you
know
putting
this
further,
and
that
makes
it
even
much
even
that
much
more
difficult
and
pushing
it.
P
You
know
two
weeks
three
weeks
a
month
down,
the
road
is
also
more
straining
for
business
and
it's
just
kind
of
setting
us
up
for
failure.
So
you
know
I've
done
this
over
times
been
open
for
what
eight
years
now
the
restaurant
biz,
especially
now
as
you've
seen
you
know
it's
it's
coming
on
getting
down
to
pretty
much
a
science.
You
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everything
is.
Is
you
don't
overspend
and
you
don't?
You
know,
put
yourself
in
a
that
hole
to
begin
with
and
then
trying
to
dig
yourself
out.
H
Sure
that
is
actually
a
question
for
staff
yeah.
Thank
you.
Where
are
we
with
smiley
brothers
in
the
recycling
center?
Have
they
paid
what
they
owe
us
to
get
out
of
that
arrangement?
Okay,.
O
All
I'm
gonna
suffered
a
net.
That's
that
is
also
a
similar
scenario.
As
with
mr.
Bartholomew,
the
law
department
is
still
in
conversations
with
the
smiley
brother
ownership.
I've
not
been
party
to
those
conversations,
so
I
don't
have
all
the
details,
but
that
is
something
that
the
law
department
continues
to
negotiate.
So
to
speak.
That's
that's
not
a
closed
case.
Okay,
I
guess.
H
There's
I
was
unaware
of
the
gap
between
economic
development
and
this
coming
here
so
that
that's
like
the
largest
time
thief.
It
sounds
like
for
this
whole
process,
but
since
we've
had
two
consecutive
arrangements
that
were
rental
rent
to
own
that
happen
gone
in
favor
of
the
taxpayers.
Why
would
we
suspend
the
rules
on
this
and
do
another?
One
I
guess
I,
don't
understand.

Okay,
I
just
never
referral
one
thing:
I
want
to
just
complement
our
staff.
Our
Amazon
purchases
have
been
going
down,
we've
been
doing
more

locally
on

so
thank
you

then
I
have
one
referral.
I
guess
for

This
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
I
think
this

or
maybe
next
week,
I'll
double-check
you,
but
the
governor
is
signing
a
new

that
will
get
rid
of
the
past

of
suspending
your
