B
A
Any
discussion
when
I
saw
this
I
was
thinking.
Why
do
we
even
need
copiers
anymore,
because
we're
supposed
to
be
paperless?
However,
it
was
interesting
to
see
the
survey
done
by
staff
and
we've
reduced
over
a
hundred
personal
printer
120
hundred
and
twenty
some
yeah.
It
was
alright.
So
that's
really
good.
That's
good
news,
yeah,
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
of
recommending
this
purchase
to
the
council
any
opposed.
Okay,
I'll.
My.
D
A
Would
you
go
to
thank
you?
Okay,
it's
all
on
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
there's
no
discussion
on
the
tree
issue.
All
those
in
favor
of
recommending
to
the
council
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed
and
I'll
take
the
next
one:
approval
of
an
agreement
with
continental
energy
solutions
for
city
facility
and
energy
efficiency,
upgrades.
A
B
H
I'm
Laura
Biggs
I'm
the
city
engineer,
and
so
we
did
receive
a
proposal
for
connection
and
they
did
come
in
and
had
participated
in
the
walkthrough
and
they
seemed
very
attentive.
But
the
information
that
they
presented
in
their
proposal
was
not
very
detailed
and
it
was
difficult
to
be
able
to
evaluate
the
proposal
and
there
were
some.
Many
of
the
forms
were
left
out.
They
didn't
follow
the
format.
So
that
was
why,
because
it,
the
information
provided,
was
not
really
able
to
be
evaluated.
H
All
right,
thank
you
and
I
was
talking
with
Kathryn
early
and
and
we're
going
to
try
to
connect
with
them,
because
we
hope
to
make
this
more
of
a
regular
program
of
doing
these
so
that
we
can
work
with
them
to
do
better
on
the
next
proposal.
You
that
there
are
local
business
seeing
that
their
local.
H
B
A
Right
all
those
in
favor
up
there
was
a
second
to
this
was
in
that
all
those
in
favor
of
recommending
this
to
the
council
say
I
I
got
any
opposed
all
right.
Madam.
B
I
C
A
J
Evening,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
said
nagai
senior
project
manager.
You
know
the
workmanship,
for
the
porous
concrete
is
little
more.
You
know
the
contract
has
to
be
more
qualified
and
should
follow
certain
procedures.
So
we
feel
that
the
the
way
the
contractor
did
perform
the
work
was
not
up
to
the
quality
and
the
standards
and
I
think
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
permeable
concrete
failed.
J
A
J
We
did
supervise
them
the
job
but
see
when
they
finish.
There
is
a
different
way
to
roll
and
place
the
concrete
and
I
think
there
has
been
some
mom.
The
work
was
not
done
right
during
the
time
and
when
we
had
the
discussion
with
the
contractor,
where
it
comes
around
the
small
area
as
well
so
I
think
there
was
some
mud
effects
in
the
placing
the
concrete
I
we
the
other
locations
where
we
had
in
the
porous
concrete
like
on
Oak
from
last
year.
J
It
is
holding
a
pretty
good
and
that's
why
we
are
doing
the
civic
center
parking
lot
with
three
different
materials
to
see
how
we
are
going
to
go
through
a
porous
asphalt,
porous
concrete
in
the
paver
blocks,
so
we
are
going
to
have
a
better
comparison,
the
moving
forward-
and
this
is
still
in
the
initial
stages.
You
know
the
porous,
concrete,
severe
kind
of
testing
with
the
different
materials
all.
A
K
Good
evening,
madam
chairman,
members
of
the
committee
grant
for
our
corporation
counsel,
I
have
exchanged
correspondence
with
the
attorneys
for
the
contractor
in
the
subcontractor.
I
can
confidently
state
that
there
is
a
vast
disagreement
between
the
city
and
those
two
entities,
and
that
is
why
we're
taking
the
legal
position
that
we're
not
going
to
pay
them,
and
that
is
why
we're
at
a
impasse,
whether
they
decide
to
take
legal
action
against
the
city.
That's
been
pending
for
some
time
now.
D
Think
I
think
that
was
my
question
was:
are
there
any
outstanding
claims,
either
buyer
against
our
contractor
and
night
and
I
hope
that
we
will
refer
all
trip
and
fall
cases
that
happen
on
that
Sidewalk
to
them
for
the
either
the
I
mean,
the
the
pavement
didn't
even
survive
two
years
and
would
seem
to
me
that
something
was
defective
and
either
the
product
or
the
or
the
installation
of
it,
and
we
will
all
be
glad
to
get
that
fixed.
What
does.
A
Well,
at
least
it's
gonna
get
fixed.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all,
those
in
favor
of
recommending
a
four-point
was
it.
Let's
see,
24.2
no
a
4.2
to
yes,
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay.
Next
alderman
Miller,
not.
D
Move
change
order
number
one
for
the
civic
santos
center
sustainable
parking
lot,
reconstruction
in
the
amount
of
264,000
$34,
which
includes
a
developer
contribution
in
the
amount
of
twenty-nine
thousand
seven
hundred
fifty
dollars,
but
not
related
to
the
civic
center
parking
lot.
So
this
is
a
complicated
change
order
because
it
includes
renovation
of
parking
lot
number
27
in
connection
with
water
work
for
the
barn
house,
and
the
barn
house
would
be
the
private
entity
that
is
helping
us
with
the
water
service
installation
under
lot
27.
D
G
Mature
members
of
the
committee-
and
this
is
one
of
three
or
four
Lots-
that
we
are
looking
to
move
forward-
we
just
didn't
get
to
the
this
lot
in
the
last
there's
two
of
them
we
didn't
get
to
in
the
last
two
years.
So
this
was
a
very
opportune
time
to
do
the
lot
not
have.
It
then
tore
up
again
when
the
development
was
ready,
so
everything
lined
up
very
well
for
us
to
move
forward,
and
it's
also
very
good
to
get
this
unit
pricing
for
that's
for
a
much
larger
project.
A
It's
fine,
just
really
fine,
all
right,
miss
Morton
did
you
want
to
speak
to
this
at
all?
No
just
making
sure
we
did
right
thing,
hello,.
L
Know
where
I'm
not
sure
what
to
speak
to
other
than
to
say
thank
you
we're
so
excited
and
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
people
in
the
neighborhood
that
are
really
really
excited
about
the
parking
lot,
with
a
lot
of
new
possibilities,
and
especially
food
and
beverage
projects
going
on
around
there.
So
we.
L
Agonizing,
of
course,
so
I'm
working
on
a
new
restaurant
that
is
going
to
be
housed
in
an
old,
stable
that
is
located
behind,
27
live
and
the
taisuke
restaurant
it
we
believe
the
address
is
1016
church
rear
and
we
had
a
tough
time
figuring
out.
The
address
until
I
went
to
the
evanston
History
Center,
and
we
found
that
indeed,
this
was
the
original
address
back
in
the
late
1800s,
when
it
was
a
barn
that
stabled
the
horses
for
the
Borden
milk
companies
horse
and
buggy
milk
delivery
service.
A
L
C
L
A
E
E
Sea
56,000,
139,000
71
sense
is
coming
from
the
boiler
building
renovation
project
and
nineteen
thousand
four
hundred
fifty
dollars
and
29
cents
is
coming
from
the
facilities
contingency
plan
or
account
there.
A
A
Who
has
issues
with
cold
just
warmly,
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
any
questions
on
this
one?
All
those
aren't
this
is
this
is
kind
of
scary
and
if
you
have
to
get
this
done,
all
those
in
favor
of
recommending
the
chimney
repair
project
to
the
council
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
Next
approval
of
the
January
1
2015
police
and
firefighter
pension
actuarial
report.
We
have
representatives
from
the
report
here
I'm
going
to
just
have
a
brief
presentation.
If
you
all
don't
mind,
okay,.
G
M
I'm
Jason
Franken
and
I'm
an
actuary
with
foster
&
Foster,
we're
at
a
national
actuarial
consulting
firm,
my
offices
in
oakbrook
terrace.
We
do
actually
have
offices
and
Fort
Myers
Florida
as
well,
so
there's
a
one-page
handout
that
you
all
have
that
shows
the
the
changes
in
the
actuarial
valuation
from
the
January
1
2014
report
to
the
January
1
2015
report.
This
is
Foster
in
Foster's
first
year
working
performing
these
valuations.
M
So
when
we
took
over
the
work,
one
thing
that
we
did
is
we
matched
the
prior
actuaries
results
and
then
we
reviewed
all
of
the
actuarial
assumptions
and
methods
that
are
vital
in
in
the
calculations
and
review
them
and
in
felt
that
was,
it
was
necessary
to
make
a
number
of
changes
and
those
changes
are
summarized
here
in
on
this
one-page
report.
So
if
you
look
in
the
left-hand
column,
first
you'll
see
this
is
the
police
pension
fund
and
last
year
the
arc
or
the
annual
required
contribution
was
eight
just
over
8.7
million
dollars.
M
That's
that's
the
number
that
the
actuary
determined
the
amount
that
was
actually
funded
was
that
same
amount
at
8.7
million
dollars.
So
this
year,
had
we
not
made
any
changes.
We
would
have
seen
that
number
dropped
from
8.7
million
down
to
eight
point
two
five
million
dollars,
but
as
I
mentioned,
there
were
a
number
of
changes
that
we
felt
were
necessary
to
more
accurately
reflect
future
experience
of
the
group
and
by
far
the
biggest
change
that
we
felt
was
necessary,
was
a
mortality
change
and
we
and
the
mortality
change.
M
The
mortality
tables
determine
how
long
people
live.
So
the
the
the
old
valuation
was
based
on
a
standard
table,
but
it
had
a
number
of
adjustments
to
it,
and
so
we
felt
that
it
was
necessary
to
move
to
a
more
standard
table
to
reflect
like
I
said,
the
future
expected
experience.
So
after
making
these
changes-
and
there
were
a
number
of
other
changes
we
made
as
well-
including
we
added
administrative
expenses
we
need
to
for
paying
those
out
of
the
trust
we
need
to
fund
those
benefits.
Are
those
expenses
as
well.
M
We
change
the
marriage
percentage
and
we
changed
a
number
of
other
assumptions
and
we
made
them
consistent
with
what
the
department
of
insurance,
the
illinois
department
of
insurance
uses
and
the
reason
we
moved
moved
to
those
tables
is
because
these
plans
aren't
large
enough
to
have
credible
experience
on
their
own.
So
the
department
of
insurance
did
did
a
study
of
all
of
the
police
and
fire
plans
in
the
state
and
came
up
with
you
know,
standard
assumptions.
So
as
a
result,
we
felt
these
these
assumptions.
M
Where
were
something
that
we
should
use
because
there's
justification,
we
can
support,
there's
a
stud.
We
can
support
the
assumptions
because
there
was
a
study
that
was
done
to
complete
them
and
you'll
see
a
lot
of
the
lot
of
the
changes
were
offsetting.
There
was
a
seventy
thousand
dollar
increase,
146,000
decrease,
175,000
dollar
increase
and
a
three
hundred
and
seventy-five
thousand
dollar
decrease.
M
So
a
lot
of
offsetting
numbers
there,
but
then
you
get
down
to
the
mortality
change
and
moving
from
the
old
table
to
the
new
table,
increases
the
contribution
requirement
by
for
the
police
plan
by
1.4
million
dollars,
and
so,
as
a
result.
After
our
assumptions
and
method
changes,
we
are
recommending
a
tax
levy
for
the
police
pension
plan
of
nine
million
three
hundred
eighty
thousand
nine
hundred
and
forty
dollars
or
675,000
675,
733
dollar
increase
over
last
year.
M
Similarly,
on
the
fire
pension
side
last
year
the
amount
was
6.2
million,
but
the
actual
amount
that
was
funded
was
six
million
three
hundred
and
forty-one
thousand,
so
the
actual
amount
that
was
levied
was
a
little
bit
larger
than
what
the
actuary
was
recommending.
We
made
all
of
those
same
changes
on
the
police
side.
M
A
M
M
M
M
M
So
if
there's
a
member
of
the
these,
these
plans-
you
know
not
just
in
evanston,
but
you
know
across
the
state
and
frankly
across
the
country
for
police
and
public
safety.
If
there
are
disabilities,
the
vast
majority
of
them
are
usually
in
the
line
of
duty.
So
that's
that
that
is
why
we
went
from
15
to
270
or
ninety
percent
the
implications
of
that
change
on
the
contributions.
M
It's
not
that
significant,
even
though
15
to
90
seems
like
a
huge
number.
The
number
of
people
that
we
assume
become
disabled
you
know
is
not
that
large.
So
while
it
is
a
big
increase,
it
it
the
impact
on
the
contribution
requirements,
is
you
know
it
does
lead
to
an
increase,
but
it
really
pales
in
comparison
compared
to
the
change
in
the
mortality.
Take.
A
M
M
There
are
a
hundred
and
sixty-three
actives.
So
we
make
assumptions
on
how
many
of
those
people
become
disabled
it
every
year
and
generally
it's
yeah.
Once
you
get
to
age
50,
you
know
it's
could
be
four
or
five
percent,
but
across
the
board,
we're
probably
talking
about
two
or
three
percent
of
the
people
of
those
163
are
going
to
go
out
on
disabilities.
M
Okay,
so,
let's,
let's
just
say
of
the
163
we're
assuming
eight-
are
eventually
going
to
become
disabled
of
those
eight.
Seventy
percent
of
them
are
assumed
to
be
in
in
line
of
duty,
so
they
get
the
richer
benefit.
So
5.6
out
of
the
eight
people,
would
be
assumed
to
be
in
line
of
duty
and
then
the
other
two
point
four
would
be
not
in
line
of
duty
TSA's,
so
it
it
is
a
small
number
of
people
that
we're
looking
at
I'll.
D
M
D
M
G
If
I
may,
alderman
Grover
and
our
goal
every
year
is
to
end
the
year
or
to
have
mr.
Franklin's
reports
show
an
actuary
I'll
gain
that
we're
gaining
on
the
on
our
accumulated
liability
and
by
understating
the
life
expectancy.
Then
each
year
you
have
a
higher
potential
to
have
a
loss,
because
you
thought
they
were
only
going
to
live
so
long
and
then
you're,
paying
an
extra
four
years
of
benefits
and
just
to
follow
up.
The
mayor
asked
the
question
earlier
today
and
we've
been
focusing
on
this.
G
I
thought
I
would
inform
you
that
the
difference
was
approximately
two
years
for
male
and
closer
to
five
years
for
female.
As
far
as
how
much
were
they
understated
between
the
two
tables,
because
it
is
a
table
that
they
use
not
just
an
age,
it's
not
80
years
of
age,
it's
a
table
of
Ages,
but
the
average
was
two
years
or
so
just
a
little
bit
under
two
years
for
male
and
closer
to
five
years
for
female
and.
M
Just
to
expand
on
that
a
little
bit,
the
prior
actuary
was
using
male
mortality
rates
for
both
males
and
females,
and
it's
it's
a
common.
What's
a
fact
that
on
average,
women
live
longer
than
men,
so
by
using
the
male
mortalities
mortality
rates
for
to
value
females,
it
does
built-in
build
in
a
significant
understatement
of
the
life
expectancy
to.
M
Yes,
I
think
I
do
have
the
weight
I
do
not
have
them,
but
but
but
too,
but
the
for
the
for
the
most
part
police
in
fire
plans
or
police
officers
and
firefighters
are
traditionally
males.
You
know
in
the
vast
majority
of
them
you
know.
Sometimes
you
can
see
up
to
a
third
of
a
force
be
female,
but
in
most
cases
at
least
two-thirds
are
our
males.
So
you
might
not
think
that
the
female
mortality
would
have
that
big
of
an
impact.
M
M
So,
even
though
the
majority
of
the
members
may
be
male,
female
mortality
is
very
important
because
of
the
the
benefits
that
are
that
joint
life
benefits
that
are
paid
to
the
member
and
the
spouse
and
they're
fully
subsidized
benefits
as
well,
meaning
that
there's
that
there's
no
reduction,
they
get
the
same
amount
if
they're,
single
or
they're
married.
So
essentially
they
get
the
spouse
spousal
benefit
for
free.
So
it's
a
very
significant
benefit,
and
thus
the
mortality
for
females
is
very
important.
D
M
Emergence
and
roughly
two-thirds
of
the
payment
is
to
pay
down
unfunded
liabilities
that
are
in
the
plan
on.
A
A
M
M
G
A
One
of
the
issues
that
I've
mentioned
over
the
years,
especially
as
it
comes
to
the
bills
list
that
we
get,
and
that
is
the
police
and
fire
pension
funds,
both
spend
extraordinarily
large
sums
of
money
on
administrative
costs.
For
example,
this
this
advisor
gets
ten
thousand
dollars.
That
advisor
gets
eight
thousand
dollars,
and
you
know
this
conference
costs,
twenty
thousand
I
mean
it
just
sometimes
it
really
seems
outrageous,
and
every
time
I
braised
that
always
been
told,
hey
it's
required.
It's
required.
I!
A
Think
that
at
some
point
somebody
ought
to
take
a
look
at
that,
because
those
figures
are
enormous
and
have
nothing
to
do
with
you
know
a
pensioner
receiving
their
their
pension.
So
that's
bothers
me,
but
it
was
interesting
to
note
that
almost
eight
point,
six
percent
interest
was
generated
this
year
on
investments,
correct
of
the
pension
funds,
whereas
we
projected
6.5
both.
M
The
one
was
the
one
was
8.6
in
the
other
was
just
a
liberated
777,
yes
yeah,
and
that
is
oh
wait.
Actually
it's
it's
5.5
on
a
market
basis
and
then
9.5
on
the
market
basis.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
do
in
the
x-ray
evaluation
is
we
smooth
investment
gains
and
losses
over
a
five-year
period
and.
M
I
think
that
is
yet
that's,
that's
extremely
reasonable.
You
know
most
plans
your
size
across
the
state
use
six
point:
seven,
five
or
seven
percent.
So
the
fact
that
you're
a
little
in
in
some
cases
that
might
be
those
higher
rates
might
be
pushing
it
so
I
think
yeah
I,
don't
think
anyone
would
question
the
use
of
six
point:
five
percent
for
these
plants-
ya
suckas,
if
you're,
if
you're
overstating
it
you're,
just
kicking
the
can
down
the
road
you're
just
going
to
pay
it
later.
G

A
B
E

C
If
I
made
two
other
than
my
ward-
and
this
is
at
the
request
of
their
the
residents
in
the
neighborhood
took
out
a
petition,
there's
actually
been
a
number
of
accidents
recently,
one
within
the
last
month
or
two
at
this
intersection.
So
the
residents
the
best
for
this
and
I
support
the
request.
I
think
the
debt
in
the
data
actually
is
collected
by
our
city.
Engineers
is
okay
with
it
as
well
as
supports
as
well.
Would.

Right
all
those
in
favor
of
recommending
this
to
the
council
say
I
I
may.

right
right,
all
those
in
favor
of
recommending
a

to
the
council,
say
aye
aye
any
opposed,
and
that
would
conclude
our
business.
There
are
no
items
with
the
discussion
so
motion
for
me:
okay,
much
we're
going
to
move
all
those
in
favor,
say:
aye
hi,.
