A
I
moved
suspension
on
the
rules
to
offer
remote
participation
due
to
the
ongoing
coca-19
pandemic
and
executive
order
issued
by
governor
jb.
Brisker
staff
recommends
the
suspension
of
the
rules
regarding
in-person
attendance
requirements
for
public
meetings
allowing
for
city
council
members
and
city
staff
to
participate
in
this
meeting
remotely.
B
C
Yes
is
alderman
ruth
simmons
here,
I'm.
B
C
A
All
right
well
so,
for
purposes
of
that
we
have
a
quorum
and
we
have
a
unanimous
vote
correct.
We
can.
We
can
move
on.
A
Hey,
why
don't
why
don't
we
do
this.
B
C
And
we
do
have
two
speakers
for
public
comment.
A
Okay,
our
next
item
is
the
last
meeting,
and
I
can
we
go
out
of
order
and
you
public
comment
in
return
for
approval
of
minutes.
Is
that
would
that
be
all
right
with
everybody.
A
We
have
a
form
with
alderman
fleming
alderman
myself.
We
have
three
of
five,
so
I'm
happy
to
go
out
of
sequence
and
do
public
comment
or
I
or
we
can
wait.
I
see
anne's
little
connecting
to
audio
bubbles
and
I'm
not
sure
elder
brethren.
Did
you
get
all
winter
simmons.
D
You
said
he's
waiting
to
get
in.
Okay,
all.
F
A
Okay,
just
stand
at
ease
for
a
moment
and
then.
H
And
I
just
want
to
clarify
what
for
all
of
them
you
now,
you
do
have
a
unanimous
vote
to
suspend
the
rules
to
proceed
within
the
remote
remote
system,
even
without
ultimate
rainy,
with
her
audio.
I
J
D
And
and
alderman's
suffering
just
for
the
public,
I
think
I
for
one
have
had
just
issues
getting
on
the
internet.
I
don't
really
have
a
real
reason
why?
So
I
I
definitely
want
to
be
efficient
with
our
time,
but
my
whole
day
is
delayed.
It
looks
like
alderman
rainey's
just
getting
on
board,
and
I
know
that
alderman
simmons
is
trying
to
work
her
way
into
the
meeting
just
for
the
public
or
our
staff.
That's
waiting.
K
Thank
you
sorry
about
that.
I
was
actually
just
logging
into
the
wrong
link.
A
Well,
all
right
no
worries.
So
now
we
have
all
five
of
us
here
we
just
to
catch
you
up.
We
did
the
the
motion
for
the
remote
participation,
we're
on
approval
of
the
minutes
of
the
january
11
meeting.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve.
C
A
All
right,
it's
gonna
move
in
a
second.
Does
anybody
have
any
issues
or,
if
not
dave,
if
you
don't.
B
B
A
Hi
all
right,
and
so
with
that
item
m1
approval
of
the
minutes
of
the
regular
administration
public
works
committee
meeting
with
january
11
2021
passes
on
a
five
million
vote.
That
brings
us
to
item
three,
which
is
public
comment.
He
said
there
are
two
public
colleges.
F
A
there's
a
third
speaker
now,
carlos
hutton.
A
Oh
okay,
all
right!
Well,
this
is
experienced
public
kind
of
participant,
so
you
know
the
the
drill
three
minutes
we'll
go
in
order
mike
the
silva.
You
are.
L
L
I'm
getting
I'm
just
trying
to
log
on
my
video
there,
like
the
sulco
64
2728
reese,
so
I
submitted
my
comments
early,
but
I
found
a
few
more
while
I
was
waiting.
The
big
one
I
guess
for
me,
is
in
the
bills
list,
which
is
part
of
a1.
L
L
But
that's
it
doesn't
say:
there's
no
attachments,
there's
no
breakdown,
we
don't
know,
I
mean
my
bank,
they
send
me
anything
it's
you
know
four
or
five
pages
that
should
be
attached.
I
mean
maybe
the
alderman,
the
mayor
and
other
people
know
what
that
is,
but
I
don't
and
there's
nothing
in
the
packet
so
that
should
not
it's
incomplete
and
that
should
be
removed
and
items
a2
a384.
L
You
know
minor
in
comparison
of
course,
but
here
are
single
source
contract
extensions
and
your
you
have
the
opportunity
to
at
this
point,
to
do
competitive
bidding
again
that
you
choose
not
to
the
chaff.
The
staff
chooses
not
to,
and
they
should
be,
looking
to
reduce
costs
at
every
opportunity
like
this,
like
a
28384,
not
just
arbitrarily
extending
contracts
and
again,
while
I
was
waiting
there
was,
I
noticed
there
is
entertainment
performance
services
for
fleetwood,
jourdain
winter
program
theater.
I
I
don't
even
know
that's
really
happening
but
you're
paying
somebody
500.
L
For
that
I
mean,
if
it
really
truly
is
occurring.
That's
one
thing,
but
I
I
can't
imagine
during
the
covid
that
anyone
is
at
a
theater
and
also
you
have
crown
community
center
music
membership
dues.
L
L
It
just
seems
once
again,
there's
you
know
nobody's
looking
at
the
detail
of
some
of
these
things
and
whether
it's
a
thousand
dollars
or
500
or
whatever
or
15
million
dollars,
there
should
be
more
information
or
some
of
these
things
should
be
deleted.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
mike
next
up
is
tina.
Peyton
tina.
I
see
your
little
your
box
welcome.
You
have
three
minutes.
J
Hi
good
evening,
everyone
I
would
like
to
talk
about
agenda
item
a12,
which
discussed
the
vacancy
window
covering
for
the
downtown
evanston
businesses,
and
I
believe
that
the
vacancy
window
covering
should
apply
to
residential
buildings,
not
just
commercial
storefronts
in
the
downtown
evanston.
J
As
you
know,
I've
spoken
many
times
about
jackson
and
emerson
has
a
whole
street
of
board
up
six
or
seven
unit.
Seven
buildings
boarded
up
all
in
a
row
and
it
I
looked
at
the
memo
and
there's
a
line
that
says.
Business
districts
are
also
home
to
many
residents
who
deserve
deserve
a
high
quality
of
place.
J
J
So
I
believe
that
if
there
is
nothing
on
the
books
for
enforcement
of
vacancy
and
boarded
up
properties
in
for
residential,
that,
you
need
to
also
include
residential
and
not
just
downtown
evanston
storefronts,
where
people
have
where
you
consider
affluent
or
can
afford
a
nice
place
to
live.
It
should
not
just
be
in
downtown
evanston,
it
should
be
all
over
evanston.
Thank
you
and
black
lives
matter.
A
M
Okay,
is
that?
Okay?
Now,
yes,
okay,
yes!
Good
evening,
I
just
want
to
follow
up
with
a
couple
more
points
with
tina
peyton,
I'm
requesting
on
a12,
that
we
show
some
kind
of
consistency
in
the
city
of
evanston
between
boarded
up
buildings
and
commercial
areas
and
boarded
up
buildings
and
residential
areas.
M
It's
a
bad
sign
commercially.
It
shows
that
a
city,
especially
a
downtown
area,
is
in
a
stressful
time
and
it's
not
an
incentive
for
people
to
come
to
the
downtown
area
shop
when
they
see
so
many
buildings
closing
there's
an
equally
bad
incentive
that
reflects
urban
blight.
When
you
see
five
or
six
houses
on
a
primary
residential
street
emerson
and
jackson,
all
boarded
up
that
were
places
what
should
be
available
since
we
have
such
a
large
shardish
shortage
of
available
housing.
So
I'm
asking
for
some
consistency
in
your
policy.
M
But
please
that
area
on
jackson
and
emerson
is
a
source
site
and
it's
an
embarrassment
to
us
who
are
residents
of
the
fifth
ward.
Thank
you.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
carlos.
I
appreciate
your
comments
as
always
so
having
completed
public
comment,
why
don't
we
move
to
the
bills
list
and
if,
if
it
could
be
moved,
I
move
approval
of
item
a1,
which
is
the
city
of
evanston,
payroll
and
bill's
list
that
recommends
city
council
approval
of
these
events
and
payroll
for
the
period
of
december
21st
2020
through
january
3rd
2021
in
the
amount
of
2
million
936.
A
Wow,
all
right,
it's
been
moved
insane.
Is
there
any
discussion
from
any
any
members
of
the
committee?
If
not,
I
I
will
ask
for
something.
D
G
I
G
D
G
A
Okay
and
it's
customary
for
that
to
be
just
one
line
item
in
you-
know
those
list.
G
A
Okay,
fantastic!
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
it.
Is
there
anybody
else
and
you're
back
welcome?
Does
anybody
else
has
a
question
or
comment
on
the
business?
J
B
A
Check
nick
cummings
is
that
sufficient
for
for
a
vote
from
aldrin
rainey.
A
A
B
I
would
like
to
remove
a
two
and
a
three.
J
H
B
A
K
A
Second
night
game:
is
there
any
discussion?
A
No
all
right,
mr
stoneback.
C
A
Right
so
on
a
five
to
nothing
vote
the
consent
agenda,
with
the
exception
we'll
remove
that
passive.
That
brings
up
item
a2
alderman
flynn.
Could
you
move.
E
Who
is
the
approval
of
fiscal
year?
2021
debris,
hauling
contract
with
gnl
contractors,
staff
recommend
city
manager
execute
a
one-year
contract
extension
for
debris,
hauling
with
g
l
contractors
in
the
amount
of
eighty
thousand
dollars
the
contract
award
is
part
of
a
bid
led
by
municipal
partners.
Municipal
partnering
initiative
funding
is
provided
by
two
separate
funds.
Forty
thousand
the
water
fund,
forty
five
thousand
from
the
sewer
fund.
E
From
the
water
fund
40
from
the
sewer
fund,
this
is
for
action.
K
E
Yeah
I
pulled
this
one
off
dave.
I
know
it's
part
of
municipal
partner
initiative,
but
it
didn't
have-
and
I
wanted
to
know
more
about
the
mw
ebe
component
for
it.
It
didn't
have
it
as
it
usually
does
in
our
other
bids,
and
since
this
is
part
of
a
larger
initiative.
What
is
the
responsibility?
C
Good
evening,
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
dave
stomach
public
works
agency
director
these
bids,
as
they
go
out
through
the
municipal
partnering
initiative,
do
not
include
any
mweb
participation,
evanson's,
probably
one
of
the
only
communities
that
has
that
type
of
requirement,
and
so
the
other
municipalities
do
not
want
to
participate
in
that.
E
Okay,
so
that
being
said,
I
do
realize
this
is
a
local
and
that
is
skokie
company
for
a
two
and
three.
That
being
said,
how
many
contracts
do
we
go
into
under
this
municipal
partnering
initiative?.
C
Off
the
top
my
head,
I
can
think
of
about
four
or
five
these
two.
We
also
do
the
pavement
marking
contract.
We
do
the
street
patching
contract,
we
do
the
street
rejuvenation
contract
and
we
do
the
crack
ceiling
contract.
C
Yeah,
the
advantage
of
being
in
the
municipal
partnering
is
just
the
volume
of
work.
That's
provided,
so
you
have
five
or
six
municipalities
doing
a
similar
type
of
work
and
because
it
requires
to
be
able
to
lock
in
a
contractor
theoretically
at
a
cheaper
price,
and
that
is
something
that
we
have
verified,
that
we
have
gone
out
to
bid
individually
for
the
similar
type
work
and
the
prices
that
we
received
through
initial
municipal
partnership
was
cheaper
than
when
we
did
the
works
individually.
E
All
right,
and
even
though
we're
the
only
municipality
who
has
an
mw
evd
e
component,
have
we
ever
had
the
conversation
with
them
about.
You
know
them
looking
into
something
like
that,
considering
that
when
they're
doing
their
scoring
or
have
we
just
gone
with
it,
because
it's
cheaper
and
a
little
bit
easier.
C
So
these
are
big,
so
there
isn't
any
score.
It's
just
a
low
bid,
that's
obtained!
So
it's
not
like
a
request
for
a
proposal
and
we
did
talk
to
them
and
they
were
not
interested
in
making
that
a
requirement
of
the
majority
of
these
contracts
that
were
bidding
out
are
performed
by
just
one
contractor.
So
there's
minimal
subcontracting
opportunities,
so
the
debris
hauling
network
currently
on.
I
believe
right.
C
E
But
even
in
not
subcontracting,
if
we
were
trying-
and
I
I
understand
this
is
the
group-
so
they
don't
want
to
do
it.
But
if
we're
trying
to
be
intentional
about
local
or
minority
owned
businesses,
we
could
do
that
with
them
being
the
sole
contractor.
They
don't
have
to
be
the
subcontractor
per
se.
If
that.
E
We
were
trying
to
prioritize.
I
realize
you're
saying
that
the
group
doesn't
want
to.
That
is
my
point
and
question
and
again
I
do
appreciate
that
it
is
a
local
company
and
that
it's
you
know
smoky.
So
it's
close
enough.
Maybe
they
have
some
edison
workers,
but
it
just
seems
to
not
really
highlight
what
we
are
committed
to
as
a
city
in
our
hiring.
C
Right,
so
if
we
were
to
go
out
to
bid
for
this,
if
it
was
an
evanston
firm
and
they
were
within
five
percent
of
the
low
bid,
then
we
would
award
it
to
the
edinson
firm.
But
there
are
to
my
knowledge,
there
are
no
evanston
firms
that
do
the
type
of
trucking
that
we're
requesting
here
or
providing
the
granular
material.
So
it's
the
large
dump
trucks,
the
bomber
trucks
as
they're
referred
to
that
provide
disservice,
and
I'm
unaware
of
a
firm
in
evanston
that
has
the
capability
and
manpower
to
do
this
type
of
contract.
E
C
D
All
right,
thank
you,
like
dave.
If
I
involve
inflaming,
I
hear
the
direction
you're
going.
I
guess
I
would
ask
it
for
a
little
bit
differently.
To
the
same
point,
I
would
be
curious
to
know
that
if
there
is
a
schedule
of
bids,
whether
it's
the
next
quarter
over
the
next
year
that
we
specifically
do
through
this
purchasing
group
right,
so
that
would
be
the
first
question
and
one
of
the
and
maybe
alderman
simmons
might
be
able
to
shed
some
light.
I
there
is
a
business,
they
do
trucking.
D
It
makes
sense
for
us
to
prioritize
local
businesses
and
I
can't
speak
for
everyone
else,
but
I'm
sure
if
we
need
to
make
a
provision
in
our
local
code
or
home
rule
ability
to
make
those
changes
dave,
I
think
now
more
than
ever.
I
would
I,
along
with
I'm
sure
members
of
our
ap
w
would
want
to
pursue
that.
Does
that
make
sense.
C
Yes
and
and
again,
there's
nothing
that
would
prohibit
any
evanston
firm
from
bidding
on
this
project.
It's
I'm
not!
I'm
I'd
have
to
go
check
out
purchasing
requirements,
but
again
we
would
bid
this.
It's
a
bid,
not
a
request
for
proposal
and
the
only
way
that
and
everything
business
would
get
to
work
as
if
they
were
worth
it.
They
were
the
low
bidder
or
within
five
percent
of
the
low
bid.
B
N
C
D
Last
year,
like
I'm,
going
to
pay
attention
and
many
other
members
of
the
committee
this
year
so
similar
to
our
capital
projects
that
we
review
on
the
mwp
committee-
and
I
know
alderman
siemens
has
a
question
to
follow
like
there's
a
schedule
that
we
see
ahead
of
time,
that
we're
able
to
pay
attention
to,
and
so
my
same
question
will
will
apply
to
this.
Do
we
have
a
scheduled
number
of
bids,
whether
it's
this
year
or
last
year
that
we
can
review
as
a
committee
to
see
if
there
are
any
opportunities
for
local
vendors?
D
I
mean
I'm
thinking
of.
I
can't
remember
his
name.
I
think
it's
gl
lane
he
did
a
ton
of
work
for
nsp2
is
the
only
reason
that
I
remember
and
I'm
sure
alderman
simmons
probably
has
a
better
working
knowledge
than
I
do.
But
I
would
like
to
think
that
his
company
may
be
the
one
qualified
evanston
person
that
sticks
out
to
me.
D
K
Yeah,
I
was
just
going
to
say:
I
think
what
this
highlights.
More
is
a
opportunity
for
workforce
development
and
business
development.
So
I
don't
think
that
any
of
the
recommendations
will
create
a
responsive
bidder
that
we're
hopeful
for
and
mr
lane
you're
right
did
a
lot
of
work,
but
he
since
retired
and
relocated
to
arizona
years
ago.
K
K
Something
that
we
can
do
on
the
mwebe
committee,
as
well
as
reaching
out
to
the
business
consortiums
in
town,
to
get
a
word
out
to
to
businesses
that
may
may
be
able
to
perform,
but
maybe
don't
have
the
capacity
and
that's
why
they're
not
bidding.
If
that
makes
sense,
it
does
okay.
So
we'll
work
on
that
in
committee,
yep.
A
All
right
so
as
it
pertains
to
item
a2
to
move
second
and
discuss,
should
we
take
a
vote.
E
Wasn't
it's
the
same
issue
so
I'll
just
read
it
real
quick
and
we
can
vote.
A3
is
approval
of
fiscal

with

E

A
C
A
All
right
so
on
five
to
nothing
vote
item
a4,
I'm
sorry
at
83
passes.
The
administration's
public
works
committee
then
brings
the
site
of
a4
I'm
oliver
simmons.
Could
you
take
that
one.
A
K
African
city
council
authorized
the
city
manager
to
execute
a
one-year
single

as
follows:
general

and
the
amount
of
eighteen
five
water
funny
in
the
amount
of
seventeen
five
and
sewer
fund
in
the
amount
of
nine
thousand,
I
move
approval.
A
Alright
seconded
always
flooring.
E
Question
and
dave,
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
for
you,
I'm
on
the
same
line.
So
I
realized
zozinga
is
closer
in
my
awards.
They
do
get
a
lot
of
business
here,
a
nice
family,
but
in
these
single
source
contracts
with
them
or
any
contract,
have
we
discussed
with
them
about
public
benefits
around
hiring.
They
have
a
ton
of
drivers
and
also
some
you
know-
yard
staff
down
there.
E
When
mr
brown
was
here,
we
were
able
to
get
a
couple
of
young
people
hired
down
there,
but
it
wasn't
really
like
an
official
city
pipeline.
So
is
that
something
that
has
been
discussed
somewhere
within
the
staff?
They
do
get
a
lot
of
business
here
and
when
I
work
with
them
they
were
receptive
to
that,
but
it
might
be
worth
thinking
a
little
pushing
a
little
harder
for
with
all
the
contracts
they
do.
C
D
E
K
K
A
I
Well,
I
was
thinking
it
would
be
nice.
Perhaps
if
economic
development
would
invite
him
to
come
to
our
committee
meeting
and
explain
him
how
important
it
is
for
him
to
be
in
our
city
and
how
could
we
work
together
with
him
and
he
probably
doesn't
idea
what
we
do?
You
know
he's
so
busy
yeah
doing
bigger
things.
D
Bring
up
a
really
good
point
and
I
would
be
curious
of
knowing
who
else
do
we
who
other
skills
and
services
do
we
use
citywide?
And
maybe
we
expand
that
conversation
to
our
top
five
vendors
who
are
in
the
same
business
category,
and
that
can
be
a
a
discussion
item
that
that
our
staff
brings
just
to
do
some
brainstorming
around
that.
So
this
is
a
great
conversation
to
have.
E
I
think
that
would
be
great.
He
was
very
receptive
when
I
worked
with
him.
He
actually
financed
a
project
over
at
shoot
to
be
a
good
community,
neighbor
and
hire
staff.
But
again
that
was
something
mr
brown
was
working
on
and
he's
not
here,
and
it
seems
like
a
missed
opportunity
for
such
a
large
employer
for
us
not
to
be
asking
to
be.
E
I
A
All
right
so
sounds
like
that
would
be
a
referral
to
economic
development
or
separate
from
what
we're
going
to
do
here.
So
after
this
discussion,
are
we
good
to
vote
on
item
a4.
C
A
A
Your
security
contract,
especially
with
phoenix
securities
that
recommend
city
council,
authorize
the
city
manager,
the
third
addendum
and
two
year,
extension
of
a
service
agreement
with
phoenix
security
for
security
services
at
the
morgan,
civic
center
and
the
city-owned
parking
garages.
The
agenda
provides
a
two-year
extension
and
a
price
not
to
exceed
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
year.
Expenses
will
vary
depending
on
the
continuance
of
closures
or
openings
related
to
cover
19.
A
funding
will
be
for
the
city,
manager's
office
services
agreements
fund
and
with
a
fiscal
year
21
budget
of
106
000
in
the
parking
fund
with
fiscal
year
budgets
of
two
hundred
thousand
something
thousand
and
three
hundred
thousand
respectively.
This
is
for
action.
I
A
I'm
the
one
who
pulled
this
one.
Is
this
a
pretty
big
expansion
of
our
agreement
with
phoenix
and
what
what
are
we
expecting
them
to
do
at
the
parking
garages
overnight?.
O
Good
evening,
all
I'm
kimberly
richardson
to
the
questions
that
you
asked
chair
suffering
so
and,
as
you
may
not
or
may
recall,
we
had
previously
three
garages
that
we
had
under
sp
plus
security
as
part
of
our
contract
with
them
as
covet
hit.
As
stated
in
the
memo,
we
ended
our
contract
with
sp
plus
due
to
the
fact
that
covent
hit
and
secondly,
to
save
the
city
over
a
million
dollars
in
savings
due
to
the
lost
revenue
that
we
experienced
as
to
the
expansion
to
to
sherman.
O
This
is
due
to
the
fact
that,
with
the
colder
months,
we
are
seeing
issues
with
individuals
utilizing
the
garage
to
take
shelter,
but
also
we
ended
up
having
some
issues
within
the
garages
as
well.
That
became
a
security
matter,
and
for
that
we
went
to
phoenix
to
ask
if
they
would
be
willing
to,
for
a
short
period
of
time,
expand
their
contract
to
include
the
garage
and
they
were
willing
to
do
so
at
the
rate
as
presented
in
this
agreement.
O
O
We
look
to,
hopefully
just
keep
it
to
the
garage,
but
we
can
expand
to
the
others,
and
this
contract
will
allow
for
that.
Our
current
agreement
with
them
was
only
for
sherman.
It
did
not
expand
beyond
sherman,
and
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that,
if
need
be,
that
would
be
an
option,
including
the
city
as
well.
The
city
civic
center,
as
well
as
the
garages
we're
still
having
a
net
savings
of
our
security
services
that
we
have
previously
with
sp
plus
by
300
000.
O
And
so
we
know
that
we
can
working
with
phoenix,
who
have
been
very
good
at
trying
to
ensure
that
they
are
hiring
evanston
residents
in
our
our
garages
to
also
ensure
that
whatever
we
need,
they
have
been
very
good
at
responding
quickly
to
our
our
request
and
we
find
working
with
them
to
have
been
a
very
much
added
bonus
to
their
services
that
we
weren't
getting
with
our
previous
contractor.
And
so
we
have
the
service.
O
We
will
continue
to
monitor
the
garages
and
if
we
need
to
scale
up
or
scale
down,
we
will
be
able
to
modify
and
phoenix
has
been
very
good
about,
ensuring
that
they
will
not
charge
us
differently.
If
we
do
reduce
our
costs
and
we
decide
to
reduce
our
hours,
they
will
continue
to
charge
us
at
the
current
rate
that
they're,
quoting
us
and
so
there's
no
minimum
or
maximum.
So
that's
very
helpful
to
allow
us
to
scale
back
if
we
need
to
or
scale
up
if
we
need
to
as
well.
O
So
that's
a
good
question
and
my
understanding
is
that
we
have
this
homelessness
task
force
that
has
been
led
by
our
staff
to
help
to
try
to
help
work
with
connections
to
the
homeless
and
other
agencies
in
the
city
to
help
provide
some
additional
support.
O
We
recognize
this
issue
is
not
going
to
be
resolved
just
for
security
that
we
do
need
a
holistic
approach
to,
and
so
we
are
working
actively
to
try
to
alleviate
some
of
those
issues,
but
we
also
realize
it's
not
going
to
be
something
that's
going
to
be
easily
resolved
overnight.
Okay,.
A
And
so
can
you
help
me
understand
if
a
phoenix
security
officer
encounters
someone
who's?
I
guess
there
would
be
a
trespass.
Did
they
engage?
Do
they
call
the
police?
Is
there
any
sort
of
alternative
service
walk
me
through
what
would
happen
if
a
phoenix
security
officer
in
the
garage
came
across
a
homeless
person
who
you
know
as
a
parent
was
trying
to
take
shelter
for
the
night?
How
would
that
process
work.
O
So
they
are
trained
to
engage
the
individual
to
ask
that
they
can.
Please
leave
the
area
most
times
in
my
understanding.
So
far,
we
have
no
have
had
very
low
incent
of
individuals
leaving
the
area,
and
what
we
are
finding
out
is
that,
once
individuals
find
out
that
the
area
is
being
monitored,
they
are
not
coming
back
into
those
spaces.
O
What
was
happening
is
that
they
knew
the
areas
were
not
being
monitored
and,
of
course,
they're
going
to
find
these
areas
for
to
take
shelter
within,
and
so
what
we
have
asked-
and
they
have
been
very
good
at-
is,
if
they're,
something
where
they
can
de-escalate,
they
de-escalate
the
situation
and
the
individual
is
able
to
leave
and
relocate.
O
That
will
be
happening
if
there
needs
to
be
some
additional
support,
they
do
have
the
ability
to
contact
our
police
department
with
the
radio
that
they
have
in
their
vehicle
and
on
their
person,
and
so,
if
necessary,
if
it
needs
to
be,
they
do
have
that
capacity
and
we
want
them
to
if
there
is
a
need
for
it
for
their
safety
as
well.
For
the
safety
of
that
individual.
A
O
O
I
can
speak
to
you
about
that
offline,
but
we
do
have
both
civilian
and
we
do
have.
Those
who
are
persecut
still
carry
excuse
me
officers
who
are
both
at
our
civic
center
as
well
as
in
our
garages.
A
And
then
the
I
mean
we
have
private
security
at
the
garage
garages.
Civic
center.
Are
there
any
other
city
facilities
that
have.
O
Privacy,
yes,
so
we
have
security
support
at
our
hearings:
administrative
hearings
in
lieu
of
us
having
our
police
officers,
which,
at
a
per
hour
rate,
was
more
expensive
because
it
would
be
a
specialty
detail.
We
now
have
our
our
security
who
are
accessing
the
who
are
assisting
excuse
me
at
the
gifts,
morrison
location,
for
our
hearings,
and
if
we
need
to
utilize
them
at
other
locations,
they
have
made
themselves
available
if
necessary,
but
we
don't
see
a
need
for
that
at
this
time.
Okay,.
A
All
right
I'd
really
like,
and
I
know
this
is
a
larger
issue,
but
I
mean
I'd
really
like
to
see
a
coordinated
effort.
I
don't
think
I
understand,
there's
a
trespass
issue.
There's
a
security
issue,
there's
a
protection
property
issue,
but
I
mean,
I
think
you
know
again
homeless.
People
in
a
parking
garage
are
not
there
because
they
want
to
be,
and
I'd
like
to
see
a
better
coordination
with
the
task
force.
I
don't
know,
was
the
task
force
consulted
on
this
decision.
A
Okay,
I
mean.
Is
that
something
that
maybe
we
should
should
have
some
discussion
before
we
go
forward
with
this?
Is
this
time
sensitive
and
needs
to
be
done
right
now,
or
can
we
at
least
put
together
a
meeting
where
we
can
figure
out
a
way
to
to
the
best
of
our
ability
to
address
the
root
causes
of
people
being
in
the
garage
overnight?.
O
We
can
do
both
sir.
It
is
high
sensitive
to
move
this
contract
forward.
However,
we
can
still
work
with
both
our
staff
and
web
security
to
make
sure
that
we
have
some
additional
support
to
give
them
to
help
in
regards
to
communication
to
those
individuals.
D
I'll
learn
something
I'm
I'm
trying
to
follow
the
line
of
of
questioning
and
I'm
asking
myself
what
is
the
is:
is
there
a
greater
concern?
I
mean
from
my
perspective,
given
everything
that
we're
seeing
on
the
national
scene.
I
don't
see
any
if
I
was
to
break
this
up.
I
don't
see
any
issue
with
what
they're
doing
at
the
civic
center.
D
In
fact,
I
I
think
that
it's
probably
more
important
than
ever
just
given
the
most
recent
events
that
we
have
security
there
and
if
I
understand
this,
this
memo
we've
always
had,
and
I
see
mr
rivera,
you
turned
on
your
camera.
We've
always
had
some
form
of
security
in
the
parking
garages
and
I
would
expect
that
we
would
continue
to
do
that.
Sir,
and
did
I
misread
that?
Are
we
saving?
D
P
Good
evening,
members
of
the
committee
mike
rivera
parking
services
parking
manager,
we
have
always
had
security
in
all
three
of
the
parking
garages.
Security
is
not
new.
This
is
something
that
we've
carried.
We've
carried
security
contracts
for
the
better
of
15
years
that
I'm
aware
of
a
year
ago,
to
date
we
were
providing
security
at
the
three
garages
through
the
contract
that
is
administered
through
sp
plus
sp,
plus
at
that
time
was
contracting
with
monterey
security
services.
P
We
were
paying
guards
28
dollars
per
hour
and
we
didn't
have
any
say
in
the
matter
unless
we
went
through
sp
plus
and
every
garage
had
a
guard
seven
days
a
week,
24
hours
a
day,
so
each
each
site
had
a
guard
in
excess
of
150
hours
a
week
at
28
an
hour,
and
it
was
costing
us
approximately
650
000
a
year
to
the
contract
in,
in
addition
to
custodial
services,
that
they
were
also
hiring
individuals
for
custodial
services.
P
So
when
covid
hit-
and
we
were
looking
for
ways
to
save
budget
for
the
city
of
evanston,
we
looked
at
those
contracts
and
we
went
back
to
sb
plus
and
renegotiated
them
and
cut
them.
Our
initial
contract
12
12
months
ago,
was
one
million
four
hundred
and
forty
three
thousand
dollars,
plus
we
renegotiated
that
to
four
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand
dollars
a
year
and.
C
P
Decided
well
last
year,
the
initial
savings
last
year,
since
we
did
the
renegotiations
in
about
april,
the
the
initial
savings
last
year
was
just
over
660
670
000
last
year.
If
we
keep
things
status
quo
this
year,
where
we're
on,
we
will
be
I'm
on
course
to
save
additionally
at
least
150
000
on
top
of
that.
But
some
of
the
services
that
we
did
make
up
was
by
activating
some
of
the
custodians
that
we
have,
some
of
our
parks
and
rex
custodians,
that
we
utilize
part-time
employees
that
we
utilize
in
other
facilities.
P
We
use
them
to
make
up
hours
in
the
parking
garages
to
do
custodial
services,
so
we
didn't
have
to
take
on
full
staff
through
sb
plus
and
then
for
a
while,
while
we
were
under
covert.
We
also
asked
parking
enforcement
officers
to
patrol
the
garage
by
doing
drive-bys
and
doing
just
security
walks
through
the
hallways.
P
Now
that
we
have
had
an
increase
in
homelessness,
we
have
now
formed
a
homeless
task
force
with
the
law
department,
the
law
department,
police
connections
for
the
homeless.
Our
outreach
team,
our
outreach
team-
has
all
been
involved
in
mitigating
the
issues
there.
At
the
garage-
and
you
know
from
where
we
were
90
days
ago
to
now,
you
know
we
we've.
Probably
the
issues
have
subsided,
at
least
by
90
percent.
Our
guards
are
trained
to
engage
individuals,
they
don't
just
shoo
them
away.
You
know
they
ask
if
they're.
P
If
they
do
well-being
checks,
they
ask
if
they're,
okay,
they
ask
if
they're
safe.
They
have
flyers,
that
they
give
individuals
for
services
and
individuals
that
are
aggressive,
then
at
that
point
they
need
to
call
police
and
the
police
will
ask
the
individuals
to
leave
the
facility,
but
I
would
say
nine
times
out
of
ten:
we
are
not
arresting
people,
we
are
trying
to
perform
outreach
and
we're
trying
to
steer
people
in
a
different
direction
than
just
hanging
out
in
the
facility
all
day.
Long.
A
P
4Am
from
4am
to
4pm
nobody's
doing
security.
We
we
strategically
selected
those
hours
again
as
a
way
to
mitigate
the
budget
by
just
fully
activating
guards
24
hours
a
day
throughout
those
hours.
We
have
a
lot
of
people
coming
and
going
to
work.
P
We
have
city
staff
that
start
at
5
a.m
in
the
facilities,
and
we
have
people
just
recently
driving
through
there
and
and
in
the
event
that
there's
things
going
on
people
are
going
to
be
prone
to
call
9-1-1
on
their
own
without
having
somebody
there
to
do
that
for
them.
So
that's
the
reasons
why
we
just
forward
that
shift.
A
Gotcha
yeah,
my
concern:
are
you
always.
E
Questions
one,
mr
rivera:
do
the
tenants
who
live
in
the
sherman
building?
Mrs
come
truman
plaza.
I
can't
remember
street
building
that
use
the
parking
garage.
Do
they
contribute
to
their
maintenance
and
upkeep
of
the
parking
garage
like
via
hoa
or
anything
like
that.
P
We
have,
through
our
reciprocal
easement
agreement
that
governs
the
entire
facility,
there's,
there's
percentages
that
are
allocated
for,
like
generator
repair,
there's
percentages
allocated
for
engineering,
spec,
engineering
reporting,
and
things
like
that.
So
everybody
has
a
shared
expense
on
certain
items.
Security
is
not
one
of
them
because
security
is
is
in
the
parking
garage
structure
itself
and
it
does
not
cover
the
vestibules
that
lead
into
the
conda
807
davis,
condo,
building.
E
Okay
and
do
those
mention
generator
and
such
but
in
terms
of
you,
know
just
maintenance
and
snow
removal
and
all
those
kind
of
things
do
their
payments.
Do
they
share
any
of
those
payments
or
that's
just
what
we
do,
because
it's
our
parking
garage.
P
That's
what
we
do,
because
it's
our
parking
garage
now
they
do
share,
like
I
said,
for
for
energy,
for
energy
costs
or
our
utility
costs
they
they
they
pay
19
of
the
energy
bill,
because
that
that
covers
their
segmented
parking.
P
They
pay
certain
percentages
for
engineering,
spec
reports
that
we
conduct
every
three
to
five
years.
They
also
pay
into
the
parking
access
revenue,
control
system
maintenance
when
that
needs
to
be
maintained
and
replaced
also
any
capital
improvement
projects
that
need
to
get
undertaken
in
the
facility.
They
also
pay
percentages
into
that
as
well.
E
Okay
and
then
ms
richardson,
for
the
to
the
longevity
of
the
contract-
and
I
know
you
mentioned-
that
we
have
to
change
it.
The
vendor
is
okay
with
that,
but
it's
a
thought
that,
in
terms
of
the
civic
center
that
when
we
you
know
our
past
covet
or
back
at
work,
in
whatever
form
that
looks
like
in
that
building
those
gentlemen
will
go
back
to
what
they
were
doing.
Pre-Code,
which
is
just
like
sitting
at
that.
I
think
front
desk
and
kind
of
walk
in
the
hallways.
O
O
They
had
a
after
evening
shift,
so
we
had
an
overlap
of
one
hour
with
both
security
officers
and
then
in
the
evening
there
would
be
an
officer
until
the
building
closed
around
nine
okay.
E
All
right,
thank
you
and
then,
in
terms
of
the
homeless
piece
that
aldermen
suffered
is
talking
about.
I
think
at
one
point
on
deputy
assistant
manager
and
I'm
not
sure
your
title
now
assistant
manager
richardson.
If
if
at
some
point
I
know
that
last
meeting
went
very
long,
but
if
at
some
point
we
could
maybe
have
an
update
at
human
services
or
somewhere
from
the
on
this
passport.
E
I
think
that
would
be
helpful.
We've
all
probably
gotten
different
reports
from
different
folks
in
the
community,
around
homelessness
and
what's
happening.
So
I
think
I
would
like
to
have
a
report
at
some
point,
just
an
update
from
someone
here
at
the
city
in
terms
of
what
the
task
force
is
doing
and
what
we're
seeing
and
what
a
plan
is
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
C
A
This
is
the
4-1
vote,
run
running
basis
in
the
past.
The
next
item
that
was
pulled
was
item,
a
10.
K
Staff
recommends
city
council
adoption
of
resolution
11r21
to
approve
the
rep
representative
testing
of
samples
for
lead
and
copper
in
all
nine
wars.
I
move
approval.
I
J
K
J
K
I
just
wanted
to
pull
this
one
off
and
really
just
highlight
the
great
work
of
our
community
and
thank
the
community
for
paying
such
close
attention
and
bringing
to
our
attention
ways
that
we
can
improve
our
services,
and
I
want
to
call
out
miss
regina,
santana,
sant
anna
second
ward
resident
and
miss
jen
alexander
davis
and
everyone
at
the
environmental
justice
team,
as
well
as
kailyn,
luciano
and
hannah
from
the
daily
northwestern,
and
did
a
pretty
robust
report
on
this
matter,
which
has
led
to
my
request
for
resolution
so
that
we
move
forward
testing
all
nine
wards
for
our
water
quality.
K
Before
this
resolution,
director
stoneback
had
already
put
together
an
internal
plan
that
has
been
implemented
and
all
nine
wards
are
being
tested.
This
way,
it's
really
institutionalized
and
we
can
hold
all
leadership
accountable.
So
I'm
asking
support
for
this,
and
I'm
also
saying
thank
you
to
the
residents
and
the
students
at
the
daily
that
helped
advance
this
initiative.
A
All
right
further
discussion:
if
not,
why
don't
we
go
ahead
and
take
a
vote.
B
B
K
One
more
thing
I
want
to
add:
our
water
is
safe,
so
that
was
the
great
outcome.
I
should
add
that
before
that
becomes
a
story,
our
water
is
safe.
I
drink
it
every
day
it
tastes
delicious
and
it
nourishes
my
family.
I
hope
it
is
nourishing
your
family
as
well
and
you're
not
spending
money
on
bottled
water,
because
we
have
the
most
incredible
supply
of
natural
water
right
here
in
evanston
illinois.
K
A
Which
is
ordinance
8021,
amendment
chapter
10,
section,
4,
chapter
13
to
add,
forefront,
maintenance
and
window
covering
during
vacancy
or
renovation
staff,
recommends
some
council
adoption
of
organs
8021
and
bending
chapter
10
chapter
13
to
add
storefront
maintenance
and
window
covering
during
the
vacancy
or
renovation.
This
is
for
introduction.
Is
there
a
second.
H
A
Second,
great-
and
I
think
mr
zamzak
is
here
paul.
If
you
wouldn't
mind,
I
had
a
question
about
the
differences
that
were
brought
up
during
public
comments
between
residential
areas.
A
If
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about,
you
know
this
particular
proposed
ordinance
and
what
it
does
and
what
it's
intended
to
do
as
it
relates
to
commercial
areas
throughout
the
city.
I
appreciate.
N
It
thank
you
chairman,
suffered
in
good
evening
city
council.
I'm
paul
zamazak
has
served
as
the
economic
development
manager
for
the
city
of
evanston.
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
this
particular
update
to
the
signage
code
is
really
designed
to
to
maintain
the
appearance
of
commercial
district
or
merchant.
N
District
storefronts
specifically
addresses
that
in
the
storefront
aspect
of
the
building
code,
and
the
idea
is,
if
we
have
long
term
vacancies
or
if
a
space
is
under
construction
for
six
or
nine
months,
that
it's
just
not
papered
over
with
fading
bleached
brown
paper
and
duct
tape.
I
think
it's
really
important
for
this
year,
especially
as
we
know
that
there
are
some
vacancies.
N
I
pointed
out
during
my
original
presentation
to
the
economic
development
committee.
You
know
there's
a
beautiful
example
of
this.
N
There
are
multiple
beautiful
examples,
one
one
that
comes
to
mind
from
an
independent
business
on
howard
street
palm
house.
They
had
their
storefront
windows
covered
while
they
were
under
construction
with
a
beautiful
vinyl
sign,
and
we
see
this
in
downtown
evanston
at
church
street
plaza
where
there
are
some
vacancies.
N
Northwestern
medicine
has
their
a
temporary
vinyl
up
at
their
the
former
bars
and
noble,
so
they're
good
examples.
Some
of
them
can
be
really
expensive.
We're
not
saying
you
must
provide
the
highest
beautiful
example
that
you
can
find
we're
saying
that
it
just
can't
be
the
things
we
said
it
can't
be
in
the
code
and
panera.
Bread
is
an
example
of
what
we
cannot
have
I'm
going
to
call
that
out,
because
it's
just
it's
not
a
high
product
high
profile
corner
just
looks
really
bad,
so
we'll
work
with
that
landlord.
N
If
this
ordinance
is
approved
tonight-
and
I
think
what
you're
also
asking
is-
I
did
hear
during
public
comment
that
I
heard
a
couple
of
things
that
I
think
need
to
to.
I
guess
kind
of
be
reframed
one.
This
is
not
just
a
downtown
ordnance.
This
is
citywide
any
merchant
district
that
has
storefronts.
N
This
would
apply
to.
I
think,
that's
I
think,
that's
pretty
clear
in
in
the
staff
report
and
in
the
code
and
then.
Secondly,
the
the
code
addresses
the
things
that
were
brought
up
in
terms
of
the
vacant
building
ordinance
with
boarded
up
windows
and
residential
areas.
N
I'm
not
going
to
speak
to
that
because
I'm
not
I'm
not
the
expert
and
it's
but
the
this.
It's
it's
chapter,
16
section
4-16-13
of
the
city
code
that
addresses
boarding
of
buildings,
specifically
there's
discussion
about
how
a
building
cannot
remain
boarded
for
longer
than
six
months.
So
I
would
just
encourage
that
information
to
be
out
there
and
by
the
way,
going
back
to
the
storefronts,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
a
vinyl
covering
we
could
also
do
a
low
cost
or
no
cost
part
display.
N
There
are
many
examples
of
that
in
downtown
as
an
example
again
we're
just
in
the
varsity
theater
building,
there's
a
rug
shop,
that's
storing
some
of
their
rugs
and
they
have
them
displayed
in
the
window
anyway.
I
just
want
to
stress
that
it's
about
beautification,
short-term
vacancies,
let's
just
make
the
place,
look
nicer
while
we're
oh
we're
going
through
this
any
other
questions.
K
Well,
not
exactly
a
question.
I
I'm
pretty
clear
on
the
the
need
for
for
this
ordinance
and
the
difference
that
this
applies
to
all
merchant
districts,
but
it
does
take
me
back
to
the
jackson
wesley
board
up
where
understanding
that
it's
residential,
it's
not
commercial,
but
all
the
same
arguments
of
perception
and
value
and
morale.
I
mean
all
the
more
are
matters
of
concern
in
a
neighborhood
and
not
just
perception
and
morale
but
actual
value
as
well.
K
If
you
right
past
a
entire
city
block
that
is
boarded
when
it
initially
was
boarded,
I
was
told
that
they
could
not
be
actively
market
and
be
boarded.
They
took
them
off
market
and
left
them
off
market
for
a
while
boarded
them
up
were
compliant
and
now
they're
back
on
market
and
boarded,
and
we
have
to
figure
out
a
way
to
hold
our
residential
property
owners
as
accountable
as
we
are
looking
to
advance
measures
to
hold
commercial
property
owners.
K
K
I
have
been
responding
to
this
and
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
address.
What
is
I
don't
want
to
call
it
an
eyesore,
but
it
certainly
is
discouraging
when
you're
thinking
about
you
know
property
value
and
how
vibrant
a
neighborhood
is.
If
there
is
a
city
block
and
a
half
that
is
boarded
up.
So
if
not
you
paul,
if
director
leonard,
could
be
preparing
something
that
we
could
look
at
to
address,
what
we
can
do
about
the
residential
areas
that
are
boarded
up.
N
Right,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
alderman
simmons,
I
think
the
I
think
the
matter
would,
and
I
would
also
give
it
to
my
colleague,
director
stoneback.
N
I
believe
that
this
would
a
formal
referral
to
the
community
development
department,
because
I
believe
that
their
well,
that
department
is
managing
building
and
inspection
services
and,
I
think,
that's
under
their
purview,
but
I
I
honestly
don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
So
we
would.
K
A
All
right
is
there
any
kind
of
discussion?
If
not,
I
think
we're
going
to
do
audible.
D
D
D
I
would
be
curious
to
see
where,
where
we
can
find
some
synergy
with
some
of
our
our
local
businesses
and
then
the
last
thing-
and
this
is
something
dave-
I've
a
conversation
that
we've
had
at
our
mwb
committee
meeting
regarding
our
20k
and
under
spend.
D
I
know
that
tesh
is
preparing
a
memo
and
I
think
for
the
members
of
our
ap,
w
we've
we've
talked
throughout
the
year
and
I'm
sure
it's
going
to
be
a
big
focus
this
year
as
we
recover
from
the
pandemic.
How
do
we
have
a
greater
impact
on
our
local
spend
and
if
that
requires
looking
at
policies
to
make
those
changes,
I
think
the
information
that
will
glean
from
our
20k
and
under
spend
will
will
help
drive
that
conversation.
D
D
A
Yeah
we
just
need
to
vote
on
item
812,
storefront,
maintenance
and
window
covering
during
the
security.
B
B
A
All
right
so
that
passes
on
a
five
to
nothing
vote,
and
that
brings
us
to
items
for
discussion.
I'll
agree.
This
is
yours
items.
I
I
A
Movement
seconded
interim
chief
paul
pogba
was
available
too
anybody
who
wants
to
kick
it
off
my
mother.
This
is
your
initiative.
I
I
I'd
just
like
to
make
one
comment:
we
are
servicing
northwestern
with
fire
and
rescue
services,
which
we
must
I.
I
would
absolutely
insist
that
we
do
that.
However,
however,
since
they
pay
no
property
taxes
and
since
the
most
of
the
rest
of
us
do,
we
also
receive
fire
and
rescue
services.
I
Chief
brian
scott,
prior
to
his
retirement,
sent
us
a
memo
explaining
that
any
ambulance
sent
to
northwestern
property,
whether
it
would
be
for
a
northwestern
student
faculty
visitor
or
just
somebody
walking
passing
through,
is
charged
for
that
service.
The
same
as
everybody
else
is
charged.
However,
fire
and
rescue
services
are
not
charged
to
to
the
caller
or
to
northwestern.
I
So
that
means
that
the
taxpayers
in
evanston
are
picking
up
the
bill
for
all
the
fire
and
rescue
services
provided
to
northwestern
and
chief
scott
showed
us
that
those
services
as
of
this
past
october,
which
is
when
he
provided
the
memo
or
it
was
through
october,
that
the
information
was
provided
totaled
over
six
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
it
came
to
something
like
of
2000.
I
believe
it
was
seven
hundred
dollars
per
call
there.
I
There
is
no
person
in
this
city,
I
believe
who
can
rationalize
that
our
taxpayers
should
be
providing
that
service
to
northwestern.
We
have
a
way
of
charging
them
fees
for
their
services,
they
pay
for
their
water.
I
don't
think
that's
a
a
wonderful
thing
that
they
do
paying
for
their
water.
I
think
that's
a
reasonable
thing
that
they
do.
I
think
it
is
time
that
they
get
reasonable
with
their
fire
service,
and
I
am,
I
have
not
talked
to
one
human
being
in
the
city
of
evanston
and
believe
me.
I
I
taught
I've
talked
to
lots
of
people
about
this,
and
not
one
person
thinks
that
this
should
not
happen
and
there's
very
few
people
who
think
that
they
aren't
paying
for
fire
service.
So
I
I
I
feel
very
strongly,
and
I
I
know
that
you
know
this
causes
all
sorts
of
diplomatic
issues
and
I'm
sorry
I
I
really
really
care
about
northwestern,
but
I
really
really
care
about
my
city
and
they
are
perfectly
capable
far
more
than
our
taxpayers
and
look
at
what
we
did
in
our
last
budget
meeting.
I
We,
you
know,
we
argued
with
each
other
about
a
tax
increase,
a
600,
000
contribution
or
payment
for
services
from
northwestern
would
have
really
helped
with
that.
So
I'm
sticking
to
it.
I
I
think
this
town,
this
council
or
the
net
council.
I
don't
care
when
this
happens,
but
we
have
a
principled
obligation
to
make
this
happen
and
northwestern
has
a
principal
obligation
to
pay
for
this
service.
Thank
you.
I
have
nothing
else
to
say.
A
All
right,
anybody
else
or
interim
chief
policy
of
anything
to
add.
A
I
think
the
memo
is
pretty
self-explanatory
and
I
think
the
direction
to
staff
to
continue
to
try
and
capture
payment
for
these
services
provided
is
pretty
clear
unless
anybody.
A
A
comment:
I
think
we
can
yes
ultimate
plumbing.
E
I
do
have
a
comment,
so
I've
realized
a
couple
years
ago.
I
know
we
did
some
kind
of
either
new
ordinance
or
change
to
ordinance.
We
were
charging
residents
were
going
to
build
their
insurance
for
an
ambulance
call,
and
then
there
was
a
conversation
around.
If
they
don't
have
insurance.
You
know
we
wouldn't
send
them
the
collectors
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
are
we
billing
northwestern
students
for
northwestern
for
those
influence,
calls.
Q
Yes,
good
evening,
chair
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
paul,
paul
interim
fire
chief.
Yes,
when
we
are
toned
out
and
we
go
to
northwestern
university
for
any
type
of
ambulance
call,
they
are
billed
their
insurance
is
built
and
then,
if
they
are
a
resident
of
evanston
living
in
evanston,
whatever
their
insurance
pays
for
the
remainder
is
then
taken
care
of
and
not
sent
to
collections.
E
Q
Q
So
the
ems
calls
are
then
charged
through
our
billing
company
andre's
billing
and
then
they're
sent
a
bill
and
then,
from
that
point
their
insurance
covers
whatever
it
covers,
and
the
remaining
is
then
either
rebuild
if
they're,
not
if
they're
a
non-resident
or
it's
wipe
clean
and
then
the
other
set
of
calls
would
be
for
fire
calls
like
automatic
fire
alarms
or
water
breaks
or
co
investigations.
Anything
like
that
and
that
those
calls
are
the
ones
that
chief
scott
and
alderman
rainey
and
in
the
in
the
memo
are
referring
to.
B
E
And
so
for
those
fire
calls.
I
have
a
smoke
detector
and
I
think
if
my
detector
goes
off
and
if
I
don't
register
it,
it's
a
fee
and
if
I,
my
smoke,
detector
goes
off
a
faulty
thing
or
some
other
kind
of
fee.
Are
those
same
fees
applied
to
northwestern
and
are
they
charged
you
know?
Are
they
paying
those
fees
as
well.
Q
Yeah
so
they
have
to
register
their
alarms
just
like
they
have
to
register
whatever
type
of
detection
system
they
have
through
through
our
collector's
office
and
through
our
alarm
register.
So,
yes,
they
are
held
accountable
to
that
and
then
those
alarms
are
monitored.
So
if
they
go
off
they're
either
linked
directly
to
dispatch
or
or
a
third
party,
which
then
would
call
our
dispatch
and
then
we
would
get
toned
out
to
to
respond
to
those
addresses.
E
Okay,
then,
my
last
point
is
for
that
alarm
registration.
So
as
a
resident
I've
you
know
home,
I
pay
whatever
my
fee
is,
and
I
never
looked,
but
you
know
so
it's
a
northwestern
dorm,
that's
much
larger
than
a
house
plan
that
same.
Is
it
just
a
flat
fee?
No
matter
how
big
your
place
is
for
those
alarm
monitoring
fees.
Q
Alderman
fleming,
I
would
have
to
get
back
to
the
exact
costs
and
how
they
bill
it
per
if
it's
per
unit
or
per
if
it's
per
per
billing
or
unit.
I
would
have
to
work
with
mario
trinston
on
that
to
get
the
exact
cost
of
that.
That's.
E
E
Okay,
okay,
so
because
my
I
do
agree
with
autumn
and
rainy
and
that
I
know
that
they
will
say
you
know
over
the
years,
they've
done
this
good
neighbor
fee
and
they've.
You
know
paid
for
this
and
that
in
the
third,
but
this
isn't
really
like
a
good
neighbor
situation.
This
isn't
like
a
charity
right.
This
is
an
expectation
that
I
think
you
know
they
all
have
at
northwestern.
That
has
been
a
resident
or
being
here
in
evanston.
We
would
cover
you
know
they
would
have
access
to
our
fire.
E
E
You
know
payment
and
this
doesn't
fall
under
racial
equity,
which
is
their
you
know
what
they're
paying
for
this
year.
This
is
a
service
that
we
provide
to
them.
E
You
know
as
being
in
evidence
as
we
should,
but
they
should
also,
I
would
hope,
want
to
cover
the
cost
just
in
a
yearly
fear
with
you
know,
fee
for
service
yearly
fee
and
not
make
this
be
part
of
the
good
neighbor
negotiations
as
if
it's
you
know
something
they're
doing
out
the
kindness
of
their
heart
versus
receiving
a
service
for
paying
that
you
know
for
being
here.
So
I
would
like
to
direct
erica.
E
E
I
I
am
concerned
only
at
this
point
about
their
service,
the
service
we
deliver
to
them
with
trucks
with
ladders
with
those
kinds
of
vehicles
when
we
go
to
the
school
or
on
northwestern
property
with
with
people
and
equipment
at
a
call
where
we're
summoned
to
go
there,
just
like
we're
summoned
to
go
to
any
one
of
our
homes
with
and
prepare
to
either
fight
a
fire
or
go
to
a
false
alarm,
whatever
we're
being
to
do,
there
is
a
fee
for
that.
I
There
is
a
cost
for
that,
and
the
citizens
of
evanston
are
currently
paying.
For
that.
We
must
stop.
I
don't
want
a
lump
sum
because
hey
maybe
some
years
that
lump
sum
is
going
to
be
too
much
some
years,
it's
going
to
be
too
little.
I
want
an
exact
fee
for
the
service.
Whatever
it
costs
us
to
go
there,
that's
what
we
should
charge
them
and
that's
what
they
should
pay.
I
don't
want
any
charity,
I
don't
want
them
paying
any
less.
I
I
don't
want
them
paying
any
more,
just
just
the
fee
for
service
and
it's
got
to
be
a
business
and
that's
that's
what
they've
got
to
pay,
and
I
you
know
that
they
that
they
are
a
good
neighbor.
I
agree
they
are
a
good
neighbor
up
to
a
certain
extent,
but
all
of
us
are
good
neighbors.
I
I
I
would,
I
would
suspect,
as
an
institution,
I'm
not
saying
that
all
of
their
students
and
faculty
etc
don't
do
as
well
as
we
do
in
terms
of
giving,
but
you
they
cannot
continue
to
stand
on
the
good
neighbor
policy
and
if
they
want
to
kick
in
a
fire
truck
every
now,
and
then
I
think,
that's
great,
but
they
need
to
pay
for
the
service
and
the
city
needs
to
charge
them
for
this
service.
Thank
you.
A
You're
here
is
there
any
other
discussion
on
this
item,
seeing
none
we
are
going
to
move
on
to
items
for
communication.
All
in
briefly,
you
got
yours,
then
aldermen,
russians.
Is
that
a
hand.
K
A
I
A
Do
we
need
a
roll
call
and
then
just
go
back,
or
can
we
just
go
ahead
and
say
that
my
development
starts
in
five
minutes.
B
B
B
A
All
right,
thank
you,
everybody
I
planning
development
started,
let's
say
six
o'clock.
You
know
I
think,
from
their.
