Hi
good
evening,
I
would
like
to
talk
about
item
number
A14
and
the
purchase
of
1808
hovland
I.
Hope
that
you
would
deny
this
today.
There
has
been
no
discussion
in
the
community
about
any
purchase
of
1808
hovland
at
councilmember
Burns's
meeting
award
meeting,
which
was
just
last
Thursday.
He
didn't
even
bring
this
up.
G
The
city
is
not
the
landlord
here.
The
the
community
needs
to
be
involved
in
the
process
of
any
purchase.
G
The
city
has
already
purchased
church
and
Daryl
and
there's
been
some
discussion,
but
that
needs
to
be
further
discussion
and
it's
in
the
process
of
purchasing
the
properties
at
Emerson
and
Jackson,
the
nsp2
project,
which
was
18.1
million
dollars
given
to
Bryn
Shore
one
of
those
properties,
that's
at
1421
Emerson,
which
is
now
in
the
project
for
demolition
in
the
purchase
of
the
city.
So
now
the
city
is
purchasing
property
that
was
already
purchased
by
the
city
and
given
grant
money
and
now
you're
tearing
it
down.
G
G
G
Maybe
they
need
to
pay
at
the
Vogue
fabric
site
pitch
in
some
money
when
you're
doing
a
new
construction
with
just
a
few
affordable
units?
Also
there's
a
section
about
discussing
violations
from
the
inspections
department.
G
H
Good
evening,
my
comments
are
brief.
I
agree
with
what
Mrs
Payton
said.
I
want
to
make
two
additional
comments.
As
far
as
purchasing
property
I
think
it's
very
important
to
notify
not
only
stakeholders
in
the
community
but
have
a
meeting
where
this
can
be
discussed.
The
Fifth
Ward
was
then
applied
after
that
meeting
at
Fleetwood
Jordan.
They
went
from
notification
of
stakeholders
to
what
we
call
form
based
zoning,
which
does
not
require
notification
of
any
people
less
than
500
yards
away.
The
previous
law
required
1
000
yards
for
anybody
to
be
involved.
H
Secondly,
I'm
very
concerned
that,
if
Everson
is
about
to
buy
any
other
property
and
manage
it,
we
don't
have
a
very
good
record
in
this
city
of
equity
being
applied
to
these
processes
and
one
it's
a
little
concerning
to
me
that
individual
citizens
can
tell
the
city
what
they're
going
to
do
with
their
property
when
it's
in
violation
of
city
codes
and
it
seems
to
be
appropriate.
H
A
F
Good
evening,
thank
you
so
I
have
three
comments.
One
is
regarding
A5,
which
is
a
change
order
request
like
over
750
000
dollars
for
Boulder
contractors.
So
this
is
the
third
change
order,
which
now
tolls
to
an
increase.
It
totals
almost
two
million
dollars,
which
is
an
increase
of
almost
20
percent
over
their
original
contract,
there's
really
no
backup
other
than
the
stat
memo
and
I
guess.
My
comment
is
you
know
it's.
F
It's
really
unfortunate
that
the
staff
doesn't
update
the
council
because
they've
really,
given
you
no
choice
to
say,
here's
the
bill
pay
it
more
importantly,
item
or,
as
importantly
I
should
say,
item
a12,
which
is
the
animal
shelter
so
I'm
confused.
This
keeps
coming
up
more
things.
Little
things
keep
getting
onto
the
agenda
regarding
the
animal
shelter,
but
the
problem
is
the
council,
to
my
knowledge,
has
never
seen
of
building
design
hasn't
seen
floor
plans.
We
don't
know
what
the
actual
construction
cost
is.
F
So
this
is
kind
of
just
sneaking
its
way
through
step
by
step
by
step.
Sort
of
behind
the
scenes
really
needs
to
be
a.
This
should
be
tabled
until
Council
sees
what
the
design
is.
What
the
plans
are,
what
the
actual
costs
are,
not
the
estimated
costs,
and
if
the
city
is
going
to
be
the
city,
citizens
are
going
to
be
held
responsible
for
over
half
the
cost
of
this
of
6.3
million
dollar
estimate.
Then
they
deserve
to
see
these.
This
information
too.
F
Lastly,
I'd
like
somebody
to
explain
what
the
1.3
million
dollar
lawsuit
settlement
is
in
the
accounts
payable
bills
list
age,
67
of
328.
to
1.3
million
dollars.
All
it
says
is
benefits
for
the
plaintiffs.
What
is
that
all
about?
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Yes,
good
evening,
apnw
members
and
city
manager,
Stowe
I'm
speaking
on
A3
tonight,
I'd
like
to
begin
by
saying
my
remarks:
do
not
fall
on
Family
Focus
or
the
potential
need
for
a
welcoming
Center.
What
I
want
to
address
is
the
bigger
question,
which
is
how
is
City
of
Evanston
in
front
of
being
a
point
of
service
for
people
in
our
city.
This
is
the
real
question
we're
needing
to
face
up
to
right.
Now
we
have
many
non-profits,
offering
a
variety
of
services
and
receiving
money
from
City
of
Evanston.
To
do
so.
B
Here
in
Evanston.
We
need
to
stop
offering
a
patchwork
of
support
and
roll
up
our
slaves
as
a
city
and
make
a
comprehensive
plan
for
Service
delivery.
It's
time,
folks,
City
of
Evanston
needs
to
seriously
consider
integrating
Human
Services
programming
so
that
there
is
a
point
person
and
Department
very
involved
at
City
of
Evanston,
clear
programming
and
specific
outcomes
are
monitored
by
the
City
of
Evanston
monitoring
the
safety
and
well-being
of
people
interacting
in
these
programs.
A
B
You
can
we
want
to
do
right
by
the
people
who
need
assistance
through
these
programs.
I
believe
City
of
Evanston
needs
to
make
a
commitment
to
be
at
the
helm
of
them.
Then
we
all
have
the
ability
to
see
a
clear
picture
of
what
is
happening
and
if
it's
not
working,
we
know
where
the
buck
stops,
who
at
City
of
Evanston
will
be
responsible
for
the
reassessment,
correction
and
financial
need
of
each
program.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
I
have
a
question
about
a
14
I,
see
where
it's
on
the
darkened.
If
you're
buying
are
presenting
to
talk
about
buying
the
property
at
1805.,
I
mean
1808
Holden
court.
So
it's
the
city
now
being
a
realtor
that
is
buying
property
to
investing
to
give
away,
not
really
sell,
because
we
are
losing
money
on
these
transactions
to
other
people
with
the
development.
And
why
is
this
not
not
being
talked
about
in
the
community
that
the
city
is
buying
up
all
the
property
in
Fifth
Ward?
Now
we
need
to
have
a
discussion
of
this.
C
A
A
E
D
Yes,
so
I
pulled
this
off
the
agenda.
I
think
our
one
of
our
public
commenters
raised
a
very
valid
point
about
the
settlement.
I
believe
that
is
what
is
a
1.5
I,
think
they
said
1.3
but
I
believe
it's
1.5,
Miss
Johnson,
or
maybe
someone
from
staff.
D
D
And
then,
secondly,
I
think
it's
important
that
we
have
a
you
know.
This
is
one
of
the
largest
settlements,
and
this
may
be
the
largest
settlement
in
evanston's
history,
I.
Think
having
a
public
airing
of
where
we
went
wrong.
I
think
is
important
for
us
moving
forward
to
avoid
settlements
like
this.
J
D
D
E
A
Okay,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
discussion.
E
You,
madam
chair,
and
as
our
staff
here
that
can
can
speak
to
this.
One
I
have
some
questions
just
confirming
that
this
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
will
be
a
setup
cost
and
some
questions
about
the
ongoing
operational
cost
and
where
that
money
will
come
from
and
if
anything
will
be
expected
from
this
city.

Kelly
members
of
the
APW
committee,
Deputy
city
manager,
stoneback
Sarah,
flax,
housing,
interim
community
development
director.
L
This
is
a
project
or
a
program
that
will
initially
be
funded
by
its
startup
funding
from
the
City
of
Evanston,
which
is
some
of
the
costs
to
do
the
research
into
what
programs
and
services
are
most
needed
in
a
welcoming
Center
here
in
Evanston,
but
then
also
up
to
one
the
first
year
of
operating
expenses,
the
Illinois
state
of
Illinois
funds
welcoming
centers,
and
we
are
actively
seeking
to
expand.
L
We
and
a
number
of
other
organizations
are
actively
seeking
to
expand
funding
for
welcoming
centers,
because
they've
been
very,
it's
almost
like
a
the
robust
Case
Management
Services
that
we
support
through
our
for
our
non
for
our
residents,
who,
with
complex
needs
through
our
cdbg
and
Human
Services
funds.
This
provides
those
same
sorts
of
wrap-around
services
for
recent
immigrants,
and
you
know
people
with
language
differences
that
we
always
have
greater
difficulty
in
serving
the
operating
support
would
be
provided
in
the
future
by
the
state
of
Illinois.
Is
the
plan.
E
So,
are
we
serving
immigrants
that
have
moved
to
Evanston
or
are
we
serving
a
larger
Regional
kind
of
population.
L
We
certainly
expect
to
serve
primarily
people
from
Evanston,
but
not
exclusively.
Most
of
the
most
of
the
welcoming
Centers
do
go
beyond
any
absolute
specific
municipality
borders,
just
based
on
what
one's
in
Berwyn
one's
in
Aurora
one
is
actually
in
Chicago,
and
it
serves
obviously
multiple
neighborhoods,
but
we
have
a
significant
population
of
latinx
residents
as
well
as
some
other
subpopulations,
including
Haitians
and
others
that
are
listed
in
there.
We
also
have
been
asked
to
look
at
helping
out
with
immigrants
who
are
coming
from
Latin
America
and
are
being
shipped
up
to
us.
L
L
Some
point
well
they've
been
increasing
funding
for
it
in
past
years,
as
they
have
gotten
more
providers.
So
we
expect
that
they
are
going
to
be
doing
that
again.
We
can't
guarantee
it,
but
that's
certainly
something
that,
as
I
say,
is
being
presented
to
them
as
a
get
this
up
and
running
and.
E
L
E
A
L
It
would
be
up
to
half
a
million
based
on.
We
don't
know
when
the
application
the
state
has
been
doing
applications
for
these
welcoming
centers
every
two
years.
We
expected
one
to
occur
in
2023.
We
don't
know
exactly
when.
If
they
get
that
funding,
then
we
wouldn't
use
the
whole
500
000.
A
Okay
and
so
I
guess
I
do
have
questions
about
I
mean
currently
we
were
working.
You
know,
I
know
the
the
living
room
we
gave
I
think
about
900,
000
I'm,
not
sure
when
we
expect
to
see
that
up
and
running
there
are
some
right.
Now
we
have
a
lot
of
I'm.
You
know
fully
supportive
of
welcoming
centers
for
our
immigrant
population.
A
Our
migrant
population
I
am
concerned
about
third
party
that
we're
we
that
currently
I
think
we
do
I
feel
very
strongly
that
we
need
a
coordinated
effort
for
our
social
Outreach,
Network
and
and
safety
net
and
I
think
we're
currently
working
on
that.
We
have
a
big
meeting
on
Wednesday
to
talk
about
that.
I
think
this
really
needs
to
be
coordinated.
A
I
I
am
concerned
on
that
we
are
spending
Millions
we've
given
out
a
lot
of
money,
but
it's
I
feel
that
we
really
need
to
organize
this
in
a
coordinated
way,
whether
it's
in-house
or
it's
third
parties,
but
I
I
would
like
to
see
a
little
more
projection
on
this
with
regard
to.
A
If
we
get
the
state
funding,
if
we
don't
receive
the
Illinois
State
funding,
because
it
is
a
large
amount
of
money
that
we
won't
have
particular
oversight
over
and
again
just
like
you
know,
the
living
room
is
a
wonderful
project,
wonderful
project
in
Skokie,
I,
don't
know
if
we'll
even
see
it
up
and
running
next
year.
A
So
I
I
would
like
to
see
more
projection.
Two
paths
with
Illinois
State
funding
available
and
before
moving
forward
and
I
again
I
believe
it
can
be
a
beautiful
project.
I
might
also
I
just
think.
We
need
a
very
comprehensive
strategic
plan,
that's
coordinated
with
all
of
our
Outreach
I
gotta
say
it
just
feels
slightly
chaotic,
not
not
this
particular
plan,
but
altogether
in
Evanston
and
I.
Think
for
our
for
the
tax
dollars.
A
It's
really
important
and
we
all
know
we
have
very
serious
issue
with
Public,
Safety
and
I
think
we're
all
working
very
hard
right
now
to
try
to
pull
together
a
more
coordinated
plan.
So
I
I
support
this,
but
I
would
like
to
see
a
more
detailed
layout
for
down.
You
know
three
to
five
years
for
half
a
million
dollars
with
State
funding
and
without
what
that
would
look
like
in
terms
of
how
far
this
would
go,
how
long
it
would
last
how?
A
Where
Evanston,
would
it
dissolve
if
there
wasn't
State
funding,
would
we
be
responsible,
so
I
would
that's
what
I
would
like
to
see
so
I
I
haven't
had
I.
Just
came
back
from
a
trip,
so
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
talk
to
colleagues,
but
I
would
like
to
hold
it
with
and
ask
for
more
details
with
a
greater
projection
from
three
to
five
years,
as
we
move
forward
allocating
funding
and
trying
to
coordinate
a
more
comprehensive
and
strategic
coordinated
plan
for
our
city
with
social
safety,
Outreach.
A
Meeting
about
Public
Safety,
a
public
safety
meeting
correct.
A
So
trying
to
look
at
like
safety
enforcement
teams,
crisis,
Outreach
teams,
substance
abuse,
workers,
street
workers,
people
that
can
be
out
there
right
now.
We
don't
have
and
not
in
a
sort
of
piecemeal
way,
but
to
try
to
look
at
a
coordinated
what
I'm
finding
from
talking
with
directors
Across
the
Nation
various
cities.
That
The
most
important
thing
is
that
in
a
city
that
you
have
a
coordinated
plan
that
you
have
it's
centralized
and
organized
and
that
as
much
as
possible,
it'd
be
in-house.
A
M
To
folks
who
aren't
necessarily
well
established
in
Evanston,
so
I
agree
with
you
that
what
you're
saying
is
an
important
discussion
that
needs
to
happen.
It's
not
really
connected
to
this
I
think
this
is,
you
know.
Family
Focus
runs
these
types
of
centers
already.
If
there's
a
critique
on
one
of
their
other
centers
and
the
programs
they
provide,
then
that
would
be
understandable,
but
I
think
the
two
are
not
related.
M
And
we're
not
committed
to
when
there's
nothing
we're
not
committed
to
spending
any
we're,
not
even
committed,
obviously
to
spending
islet
alone
any
money
in
the
future,
so
I
guess
that
could
be
answered
now
we
don't
have
to
if
there's
future
administrations
that
decide
that
they
want
to
spend
additional
funds
to
support
it.
That
would
be
their
prerogative,
but
we
don't
have
to
do
anything
absolutely.
F
M
A
A
We
have
a
lot
of
very
serious
needs
facing
us
at
our
doorstep,
and
so
I
would
prefer
that
we
try
to
really
understand
those
and
I
believe
our
city
manager
still
is
arranging
for
a
meeting
where
we're
going
to
discuss
that
I'm
and
I
think
we
should
have
that
I'm,
not
saying
that
we
wouldn't
pass
this
and
again
I
support
the
concept
of
a
welcoming
Center,
but
I
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
really
understand
and
prioritize
our
needs.
A
What's
what's
mostly
needed
right
now
before
we
allocate
such
large
sums
of
money
and
we
can
still
do
it,
I
just
think
we
haven't
yet
done
that
I
know.
Council
member
nuzma
has
asked
for
that
since
last
year,
but
I
think
this
is
very
important.
It's
a
half,
a
million
dollars
and
again
I'm,
not
knocking
I.
Think
welcoming
Center
is
a
lovely
idea,
a
wonderful
idea
to
support
this
population
or
these
populations.
A
O
A
E
D
Yeah,
so
if
I'm
going
to
make
sure
I'm
recognized
by
the
chair,
but
so
I
will
I
support,
you
know
your
request
for
information
I,
don't
like
the
whole,
pitting
it
against
Crime
or
other
things.
I
mean
I,
think
that
but
I
do
think
it
is
worth
getting
a
deeper
level
of
understanding
as
to
what
exactly
we're
getting
with
the
investment
that
we're
making
it
is
a
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
fairly
substantial
and
so
I
would
support
the
the
tabling
so
I,
don't
think
you've
moved
it,
but
I'll.
I
D
Also
before
I
do
that
I
want
to
make
sure
that
from
Miss
flax
and
whoever
else
is
here
that
can
maybe
answer
this.
If
there
would
be
an
impact,
you
know
if
this
were
held
off
for
a
week
or
two.
Would
it
be
an
impact
in
anything
that
Family
Focus
has
going
on.
L
Thank
you,
I,
don't
if
it
were
held
off
for
one
meeting
I,
don't
think
it
would
have
any
significant
impact.
Family
Focus
is
trying
to
get
the
center
open
because
having
it
open
and
functioning
when
you
apply
for
State
funding,
we
don't
know
exactly
when
that
state
funding
the
nofo
is
going
to
be
released.
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
this.
D
Went
through
significant
reviews,
you
know
if
this
were
held
off.
L
Think
significant
I
lost
my
train
of
thought
here.
L
In
arpo
it
is
prioritized
and,
as
you
may
recall,
latinx
Community
came
out
in
a
number
of
meetings.
In
addition,
the
social
services
committee
has
reviewed
this
at
two
of
its
meetings,
and
so
we
can
certainly
provide
additional
information,
but
they
do
talk
about
the
number
of
people
they
expect
to
serve
each
year
and
that's
in
line
with
the
funding
that
we
spend
or
the
funding
for
other
programs
of
this
scope.
As
they
say,
it
is
robust
case
management
and
services
for
people
who
are
currently
have
a
challenge.
L
Getting
access
to
those
Services
due
to
languages
and
and
also
another
major
part
of
what
happens
in
the
welcoming
centers
is
people
who
are
from
another
country
are
get
orientation
to
how
our
government
works,
how
our
schools
work
and
many
other
things
that
allow
them
to
become
productive
members
of
our
society.
So
we
can
certainly
get
you
additional
information.
Thank.
A
A
All
of
our
expenses
and
again
it
sounds
like
a
wonderful
program,
would
just
like
a
little
more
projection
like
a
three
to
five
year
projection
with
the
two
possible
paths
that
this
could
go
at
this
point,
they're
saying
it's
you
know,
looks
like
it's
going
to
be
a
hard
Landing
recession,
so
again,
I'm
going
to
ask
that
we're
really
careful
with
all
of
our
large
expenditures.
N
A
Okay,
so
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
to
have
this
tabled
until
our
next
meeting.
Second.
M
M
Supporting
my
colleagues,
okay,
so
then
I'll
turn
to
you.
Then
if
you
could
just
be
very
clear
on
what
you're
looking
for,
because
I
think
most
of
it
probably
is
already
included
in
the
packet
and
even
in
listening
to
you
now,
I'm,
not
completely,
you
know,
I
can
understand.
If
you're
saying
look
this
isn't
we
need
to
take
another
look
at
how
we
prioritize
arpa
funds
like
that
I
think,
is
a
discussion
we
can
have
at
the
right
meeting.
M
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
if
it's
about
that,
then
let's
have
that
discussion
at
the
next
meeting
as
opposed
to
a
three-year
five-year
projection.
That's
going
to
tell
us
exactly
what
Sarah
already
did,
which
is
we're
committed
to
helping
this
launch
there's
available
funds
from
the
state
and
elsewhere
we're
going
to
get
a
similar
answer
then
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
conversation
that
you
really
want
to
have
or
all
the
conversations
you
want
to
have
at
the
next
meeting.
I'm,
certainly
supportive
of
the
table.
M
While
we're
doing
that,
though,
if
we
can
I'm
glad
we
got
letters
of
support
from
the
organizations
that
that
wrote,
letters
I
asked
the
last
time
this
came
up
and
the
last
time
I
discussed
this
internally.
If
we
could
do
Outreach
to
the
Haitian
Community
to
the
Jamaican
Community
to
the
African,
Community
and
I
would
love
to
see
them
writing
letters
of
support
as
well
and
include
those
those
letters
the
next
time
this
comes
up.
M
A
We
need
to
vote
on
the
table.
Okay,
so
we'll
take
a
vote
on
the
table.
Correct,
okay,
council
member
Reed.
A
D
Thank
you,
I
move
item,
A1
off
of
the
table
and
back
to
the
floor,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
so
Council
Cummings.
We
were
seeking
your
particular
knowledge
on
this
item,
so
this
is
the
one
it's
1.5
million
dollars
correct,
1.5
million
dollar
settlement.
D
What
a
constituent
noticed
it
in
the
bills
list,
so
I
just
said:
if
at
one
I
think
it's
important
to
have
you
know
public
telling
of
kind
of
what
happened
here.
I
think
this
is
potentially
it's
certainly
the
largest
in
recent
history,
and
it
may
be
the
largest
settlement.
Evanston
has
been
engaged
with
engaged
in
or
had
to
pay
out.
D
So
I
think
it's
important
that
we
discuss
this
and
then
also
it's
listed
from
my
understanding
under
the
Insurance
Fund
is
the
lined
item
that
it's
list
is
coming
out
of.
Is
that
accurate
is,
is
our
insurance
provider
covering
this,
or
is
this
something
that
we're
having
to
cover
on
our
own.
O
Good
evening,
members
of
the
APW
committee
chair,
direct
Deputy
city
manager,
stoneback
Nicholas,
Cummings,
Corporation,
Council
I'm,
going
to
try
and
start
from
the
beginning.
The
item
on
the
bills
list
is
related
to
item
a13
on
the
agenda
tonight,
which
is
a
resolution
for
authorizing
a
settlement
of
the
wage
and
hour
claim
for
a
little
over
1.5
million
dollars
total.
The
reason
why
it's
on
the
bills
list
for
under
1.5
million
dollars
is
because
part
of
that
settlement
has
to
be
paid
out
via
payroll.
O
We
had
consult,
we
consulted
with
both
an
accountant
and
a
tax
attorney
to
talk
about
the
potential
tax
liability
that
the
city
could
have.
If
we
paid
out
this
claim
cert
a
certain
way
and
we
were
instructed
to
structure
it
where
we
had
to
pay
the
back
wages
portion
of
the
settlement
via
payroll,
so
that
payroll
taxes
could
be
assessed
and
all
other
withholdings
could
be
withheld,
and
then
the
remainder
of
the
settlement
can
be
paid
out
as
we
always
pay
out
settlements
with
a
larger
check
and
issue
a
1099
down
the
road.
O
O
So
that's
a
long
explanation
as
to
how
that
went.
I
became
aware
recently
of
another
settlement
that
happened
prior
to
my
coming
to
Evanston.
That
is
a
little
over
four
million
dollars,
so
this
isn't
quite
the
largest
just
yet,
but
it
is
up
there
and
it
is
certainly
the
largest
that
we've
had
to
pay
out
in
my
tenure.
Lastly,
with
respect
to
Insurance,
all
of
our
settlements
come
out
of
the
insurance
and
risk
fund.
We
have
a
self
retention
of
1.25
million.
I.
Believe
is
what
it
is,
so
anything
under
that
amount
will
respond.
O
The
city
is
responsible
for
paying
anything
over
that
amount.
We
would
actually
ask
for
our
access
carrier
to
pay
out
in
this
particular
instance.
We
do
not
have-
or
at
least
I
shouldn't
say
we
don't
have.
The
excess
carrier
rejected
any
sort
of
claim
for
this
particular
claim,
because
it
is
a
wage,
an
hour
claim
and
essentially
the
way
that
the
Illinois
minimum
wage
law
and
the
federal
civil
federal
labor
Fair
labor
standards
Act,
is
are
written.
It's
almost
strict
liability.
D
I
appreciate
that-
and
maybe
this
part
of
the
question
that
I
really
want
to
answer
might
be
best
answered
by
our
city
manager.
If
you're,
maybe
the
person
answered
you
can
decide
between
you,
but
the
real
thing
that
I
think
is
important.
Is
you
know
a
quick
summary
for
the
public
of
why
we're
paying
this
out
and
what
steps
the
city
has
taken
to
avoid
a
settlement,
this
large
I
guess
not
the
largest,
but
maybe
the
second
largest
or
third
largest,
certainly
the
largest
in
recent
history.
Sure.
O
So
in
in
2021,
the
Department
of
Labor
began
an
investigation
into
our
scheduling
practices
for
our
telecommunicators
at
the
911
Center.
It
was
discovered
through
those
scheduling
practices
were
not
in
line
with
the
fair
labor
standards
act
and
our
telecommunicators
were
then
their
schedule
was
adjusted
as
a
result
of
that
investigation,
the
Department
of
Labor
worked
with
us
to
try
and
resolve
the
back
wages
according
to
what
they
calculated
before
that
could
be
resolved.
The
individuals
who
were
affected
made
contact
with
Council
and
filed
a
lawsuit,
the
law.
O
The
laws
in
play
here,
allow
for
three
years
of
back
wages
and
damages.
So
the
number
is
as
high
as
it
is
because
it
contemplates
three
years
of
back
wages,
three
years
of
five
percent
per
month
per
unpaid
and
there's
also
another
the
third,
the
third
column
I
can't
think
of
right
now,
but
that
it
takes
into
account
all
three,
which
is
why
it's
as
large
as
it
is,
and
it
encompasses
16.
Current
and
former
employees
of
the
City
of
Evanston.
O
Still,
whoever
sure
and
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
the
city
manager,
but
I
know
that
we
are,
you
know,
we've
had
a
lot
of
new
faces
in
the
administration
of
the
city,
so
we
are
constantly
reviewing
and
making
sure
that
when
we
have
these
sort
of
work
schedules
and
and
various
practices
that
they
are
in
line
with
the
fair
labor
standards
act
recently,
the
employee
handbook
was
revised
in
August
of
2022
to
to
help
us
as
part
of
that
we're
in
a
con
process
of
Labor
negotiations
right
now.
O
We
want
to
make
sure
that
our
labor
contracts
are
all
in
line
with
that.
You
know.
One
of
the
points
in
this
was
was
actually
an
agreement
between
labor
and
management
on
the
schedule
that
was
in
existence
prior
to
2021.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
even
those
discussions
are
are
lawful
discussions
and
that
all
those
that
need
to
be
at
the
table
having
those
discussions
are
there.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
I.
Just
I
I
think
this
is
important.
This
you
know
dates
back
to
2004,
I,
believe
the
practice,
and
it
is
critically
important
that
all
of
us,
as
the
council
members
is
the
city
management,
as
residents
are
paying
close
attention
to
every
aspect
of
our
government
and
making
sure
that
we
are
following
the
law.
Quite
simply
because
when
we
do
not,
we
have
to
be
in
a
situation
that
we
are
now
where
we
have
to
pay
out.
D
1.5
million
dollars
of
of
taxpayers
hard-earned
money
that
could
be
going
to
you
know
some
other
very
important
City
service
or
need
that
that
we
cannot
fulfill
as
a
result,
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
we
are
updating
our
our
our
practices
and
we're
doing
things
that
will
hopefully
avoid
a
similar
situation
in
the
future.
So
thank
you.
D
A
Okay,
if
there
are
no
questions
or
comments,
so
I
guess
I
would
like
a
better
understanding.
So
is
that
about
right
that
this
has
been
a
20
overall
increase
in
the
contract.
K
A
K
Let
me
say
this
is
really
a
typical
City
projects,
we're
typically
under
five
percent
for
all
of
our
projects,
and
a
lot
of
that
is
because
we
have
really
good
information.
Particularly
a
lot
of
our
major
projects
are
water
main
and
we
keep
pretty
good
records.
There
are
basically
three
things
that
have
caused
these
change.
All
of
these
change
orders
and
you
see,
as
you
look
back
through
the
change
orders,
there's
a
lot
of
recurrent
items
like
class
D,
patching
that
appear
on
every
one
of
them.
K
The
first
is
for
all
water
main
projects.
You
have
to
get
an
iepa
permit
and
there
are
certain
standards
that
the
iepa
is
looking
for
when
they
review
water
permits
water
main
projects,
and
that
permit
is
actually
gotten
during
the
time
period
in
which
we're
bidding
the
contract,
which
is
a
standard
practice
for
a
lot
of
people.
You
have
a
bid
set
of
drawings,
you
send
it
to
the
iapa.
K
They
review
it,
while
you're
getting
the
the
permit
or
while
you're
getting
the
bid
and
the
iepa
actually
requested
a
number
of
changes
to
the
contract
that
are
not
typical
of
their
comments
normally,
and
so
we
had
to
make
those
during
constructions.
The
biggest
line
item
changes
in
that
have
to
do
with
changing
the
storm
sewer
to
water
main
quality
pipe
because
we
weren't
going
to
have
the
standard
ideal
separation
between
the
existing
storm
sewer
and
the
water
main,
and
so
those
iepa
changes.
K
In
the
middle
of
the
road
like,
there
are
just
things
that
we
wouldn't
expect,
and
so
those
unforeseen
conditions
cost
us
about
30,
35
percent
of
the
change
orders
and
then
the
largest
percentage
of
the
change
orders
actually
were
due
to
inaccurate
calculations
in
the
quantities.
So
our
Consulting
engineer
makes
a
an
estimate
of
the
quantities
that
are
going
to
be
used
for
each
of
the
items,
as
the
type
of
contract
is
called
a
unit
price
contract,
so
that
the
contractors
pay
for
the
actual
items
installed.
K
But
the
bid
is
based
on
an
estimate
of
those
quantities.
In
several
cases
they
estimated
very
low.
If
they
had
estimated
correctly,
we
would
have
still
paid
all
of
these
costs,
and
so
we
can't
really
go
after
anybody
for
them,
because
it's
assumed
that
it
would
have
been
included
in
the
bid
had
the
consultant
been
more
accurate,
and
that
includes
things
like
classy
patches,
the
sidewalk
restoration,
and
that
really
was
about
48
percent
of
the
overall
project.
It
is
not
something
we
were
thrilled
about,
but
it
is
what
we
were
handed
once.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
so
I
mean
it's.
Nevertheless,
of
course
you
know
we
don't
want
those
inaccuracies,
because
we'd
like
to
budget
it
came
to
about
two
million
dollars,
I
think
the
change
order,
so
it
would
be
better
for
the
city
to
be
able
to
appropriately
plan
the
budget.
You
know
to
have
a
closer
to
have
not
had
such
inaccurate
calculations
and
the
iepa
it
comes
in
sort
of
late
in
the
game.
I
mean.
Why
wasn't?
Why
wasn't
weren't
the
comments
made
until
I
mean.
K
That's
normally
when
the
comments
are
made
and
their
comments
are
pretty
typical
water
main
project
to
water
main
project,
but
in
this
case,
possibly
because
it's
a
larger
diameter
water
main
they
held
us
to
a
higher
standard
than
they
typically
would
a
community,
including
Evanston.
That's
doing
rehab
work
in
a
congested
area.
Normally
the
IPA
takes
into
account
that
you're
not
actually
touching
every
utility
in
the
street
this
time
they
they
held
us
to
a
higher
standard
and
we're
not
disputing
that.
It's
a
good
plan.
E
K
So
the
perm
I
I
want
to
separate
we
get
a
permit
on
every
water
main
project
that
the,
but
the
loan
itself
is
just.
We
happen
to
get
a
loan
for
this
particular
project
because
of
the
high
dollar
value
of
the
cost
of
the
project,
and
so
the
iepa
is
we
are
paying
for
a
loan.
With
these
change
orders,
we
have
exceeded
the
amount
that
we
are
getting
for
a
loan,
but
we
will
go
back
and
request
additional
loan
money.
The
iepa
generally
has
looked
favorably
upon
those
requests.
K
When
you
have
this,
the
kind
of
documentation
that
we
have
so
we
have
high
hopes
for
getting
it
whatever
would
not
be
covered
by
the
iepa
would
have
to
be
paid
for
by
the
water
fund.
K
K
If
this
will
work
at
the
treatment
plant
similar
to
our
new
intake
project,
which
is
also
receiving
an
iepa
loan,
then
the
wholesale
customers
pay
a
significant
portion
of
the
loan
payments,
but
because
it's
the
distribution
system
and
they're
only
accessing
a
small
percentage
of
the
distribution
system.
They
pay
a
relatively
small
percentage
of
the
cost
of
the
project.
A
K
Well,
I
I
have
a
reasonable
expectation
that
this
will
be
covered
like
I,
this
thing
with
quantity
calculations,
which
is
considered
a
design
Omission,
but
it's
a
design,
a
mission
that
we
would
have
paid
had
the
anyway,
regardless
of
what
the
actual
quantities
calculated
were,
and
so
that
type
of
thing
and
unforeseen
conditions,
like
you,
don't
know,
what's
underground.
So
you
start
digging.
Those
types
of
things
are
pretty
standard
types
of
things
that
can
get
covered.
But
of
course,
it's
up
to
the
iepa
to
make
the
final
approval
so
I
can't
guarantee
it.
M
This
is
a
quick
question
if
you
can
say
the
dollar
amount.
How
much
of
this
should
have
been
included
or
probably
should
have
been
included
in
the
original
bid
versus
how
much
was
done
for
seen
and
would
have
likely
been
missed
by
any
of
the
other
qualified
responders
and.
K
K
I
actually
do
not
recall
that
I
apologize,
I
will
say,
though
the
closest
bidder
would
have
also
had
to
include.
They
would
have
bid
off
the
quantities
that
we
provided
and
then
they
would
have
asked
to
be
paid
to
install
the
additional
quantities.
But.
K
They
would
not
have
they
would
not
have
them.
They
are
providing
a
unit
price
for
every
quantity
that
we
put
on
the
bid
Tab
and
occasionally
a
bidder
will
notice
if
there
is
a
miscalculation
in
the
bid
tab
but
they're,
not
necessarily
on
the
hook
to
tell
us
that-
and
this
was
a
very
complex
project,
so
they
you
know
it
was
missed
by
the
bidders,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we
don't
have
to
pay
them
for
installed
quantities
based
on
the
type
of
contract
that
it
is.
K
I
N
A
E
D
Move
it
don't
move
automates
in.
D
I
think
I
know:
we've
you've
had
discussions
with
our
colleagues.
I
think
we've
come
to
some
kind
of
semblance
of
an
agree
agreement.
So
I
don't
know
if
there
are
any
amendments
that
need
to
be
made
here.
If
we're
happy
moving
forward
with
it,
as
is
so
I
think
there
is
one
Amendment
I'm
happy
to.
Let
you
make
that
and
then
second
it.
A
Well
so
I
had
tabled
this
until
today,
because
I've
been
in
conversations
with
both
the
Chicago
water
management
and
also
with
the
Chicago.
D
A
E
D
I'll
move
item
a11
resolution
68r22
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
an
agreement
with,
oh
with
actual
move
that
we
table
this
also
until
the
24th
say
it
again:
oh
somebody's
here,
okay,
so
then
I
move
resolution,
68
R22
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
an
agreement
with
Elite
concert
with
the
law
enforcement.
Q
No
problem
I
am
Lionel
King
I'm,
with
the
law
enforcement
Action
Partnership
I
was
wondering
I
have
a
a
presentation.
Is
it
possible
to
share
my
screen.
Q
Thank
you
very
much
and
in
the
meantime,
I'll
just
give
you
a
little
bit
about
you,
be
able
to
share.
D
Your
screen
button,
the
green
okay.
Q
Q
Okay,
so
again
and
I.
For
some
reason,
I
can't
see
my
notes,
but
you
guys
don't
mind.
I
will
read
my
notes
here.
So
leap
is
a
non-profit
advocacy
organization
with
a
Cadre
of
over
250
law
enforcement
officials
who
go
around
the
country.
Speaking
without
speaking
on
behalf
of
what
I
like
to
call
intelligent,
Criminal,
Justice
Reform
leap
has
been
at
the
Forefront
of
intelligent,
Criminal,
Justice
Reform
for
nearly
20
years.
Q
One
of
our
major
focuses
is
restoring
trust
between
the
police
and
the
community
because,
as
you
know,
law
enforcement
cannot
be
effective
if
people
do
not
speak
to
the
police,
so
another
Focus
is
dealing
with
the
fact
that
the
police
are
asked
to
wear
at
least
40
or
50
different
hats,
and
every
year
they're
asked
to
expand
these
responsibilities.
As
many
of
you
know,
the
police
department's
already
overwhelmed
as
they
are
short
staffed.
Q
So
we
see
the
community
responder
programs
as
a
way
of
relieving
some
of
the
pressure
from
police
and
allowing
them
to
focus
on
more
serious
crimes.
Leap
has
worked
with
cities
across
the
country
to
implement
Community
responder
programs.
These
programs
involve
sending
well-trained
unarmed
civilians
to
handle
low-level
calls
for
services,
including
many
mental
health,
behavioral
health
calls
and
other
calls,
such
as
Wellness
safety
checks,
unwanted
persons,
civil
matters,
escorts
loud,
music
and
trespassing.
Q
There
are
three
characteristics
that
we
use
to
identify:
Community,
responder
programs.
First,
a
community
responder
program
must
act
as
a
first
responder
and
not
not
having
the
team
show
up
once
the
the
police
have
cleared
the
scene.
Secondly,
the
public
can
reach
the
program
via
9-1-1
and
not
have
to
remember
some
long,
10-digit
number
or
hotline
number.
We
know
that
9-1-1
is
the
number
that
most
people
call
when
they
are
in
need
of
service
and
third,
the
community
responder
team
does
not
include
a
police
officer.
Q
If
the
team
includes
a
police
officer,
we
call
that
a
co-responder
team,
so
this
diagram
shows
how
calls
are
divided
between
police
and
Community
responders.
Traditionally,
when
someone
calls
9-1-1,
if
isn't,
if
it
isn't,
for
fire
or
medical
emergencies,
the
dispatcher
sends
the
police
to
the
scene
and
the
police
handled
the
incident.
However,
in
the
community
responder
sequence,
the
calls
are
triage
by
a
call
taker
based
on
call
type
and
other
information.
Q
If
the
call
does
not
meet
Community
responder
eligibility,
the
traditional
model
is
followed,
however,
if
the
call
does
meet
Community
responder
eligibility,
the
call
is
dispatched
to
community
responders
and
they
resolve
the
incident.
Q
So
here
are
a
few
cities
with
Community
responder
programs.
Many
other
cities
have
some
of
some
form
of
expanded
response
or
an
alternative
response
in
place,
while
many
others
are
currently
developing
these
programs.
It
is
important
to
note
that
Cahoots
and
Eugene
Oregon
is
the
has
been
around
for
30
years.
It
is
like
the
granddaddy
of
the
programs,
and
many
programs
are
kind
of
based
off
Cahoots.
Q
In
fact,
a
chief
of
police
left
Eugene
and
he
became
I'm.
Sorry,
a
police
officer
left
Eugene
and
he
became
Chief
and
Olympia
Washington
and
he
was
so
impressed
with
the
Cahoots
model
that
he
actually
started.
The
crew,
an
Olympic
in
Olympia
and
a
very
similar
story
took
place
with
Denver
Star
Team.
It's
important
to
note
this.
That
I
mean
I'm
noticing
this,
because
it
is
important
to
realize
that
police
officers
and
police
departments
have
supported
these
alternative
response
programs
from
the
very
beginning.
Q
So
leap
has
already
received,
call
calls
from
service
data
from
Evanston
and
begin
to
compare
results
to
what
we
have
seen
in
similar
cities.
These
numbers,
so
the
ranking
of
how
common
these
call
types
in
several
cities
we
worked
worked
in,
for
example,
check
well-being
is
the
second
most
common
reason.
People
call
9-1-1
and
get
a
police
response
in
Evanston.
It's
the
fourth
in
Amherst,
the
third
in
Dayton,
and
the
first
in
Brooklyn
Center.
Q
Every
Community
is
different
and
looking
at
the
data
allows
us
to
see
how
see
why
the
public
in
Evanston
is
requesting
assistance
where
they
would
and
and
where
this
assistance
would
be
appropriate
for
Community
responders.
Now,
Evanston
actually
has
a
leg
up,
because
trilogy's
First
Response
alternative
crisis
team.
The
fact
team
is
already
responding
to
mental
health,
calls
that
come
into
their
dedicated
hotline
I
believe
that
trilogies
was
supposed
to
expand
to
24
7
in
September
and
with
good
publicity.
Q
Trilogy
will
start
receiving
some
of
the
Czech
well-being
calls
which
are
currently
the
city's
number
two
call
type.
Unfortunately,
under
the
current
system,
Trilogy
isn't
getting
forwarded.
Any
9-1-1
calls
if
the
public
calls
9-1-1
for
a
well-being
check.
They
are
still
getting
a
police
response
and
Trilogy
it's
been
handling.
Any
of
these
other
call
types
that
many
Community
responder
programs
around
the
country
you're
handling.
Q
So
what
exactly
does
leak
do
lead
provides
expert
advice
to
assist
cities
as
they
explore
conceptualize
and
Implement
Community
responder
programs
in
Phase
One,
the
needs
assessment
leap,
conducts
qualitative
and
quantitative
examinations
of
9-1-1
call
narrative
data
to
determine
which
call
type
and
the
percentage
of
calls
that
would
likely
be
eligible
for
Community
responders.
This
two-prong
approach
starts
with
identifying
eligible
calls
based
on
the
call
narrative
and
not
just
categorize
descriptions
of
the
calls.
So
the
call
narratives
are
the
notes
that
are
actually
taken
by
the
911
dispatch
operators.
Q
Once
a
call
for
service
is
received,
the
narrative
contains
more
detailed
information
regarding
the
circumstances
surrounding
the
call
for
service
based
on
the
information
recorded
by
the
9-1-1
dispatch.
The
call
narrative
I'm,
sorry
in
the
call
narrative,
the
calls
are
categorized
to
the
types
call
types
are:
the
way
that
dispatch
code
9-1-1
calls.
These
categories
are
often
Broad
and
often
don't
capture
the
essence
of
the
call
for
service
now,
for
example,
in
Atlanta.
Q
We
we
analyze
calls
for
service
data
in
Atlanta,
and
many
of
the
calls
were
labeled
or
categorized
as
fighting
progress,
which
would
imply
that
there
was
a
physical
altercation
taken
place.
However,
when
we
actually
examined
and
read
the
call
data
I
mean
the
call
narrative.
We
found
that
many
of
these
calls
were
for
things
like
a
homeless
man,
not
vacating,
a
fast
food
restaurants,
parking
lot
or
a
young
per
a
young
person
playing
his
car
stereo
rather
loudly
and
disturbing
his
native
neighbors.
Q
So
they
were
not
actually
physical
altercations
taking
place
rather
conflicts
between
individuals,
which
would
make
them
eligible
for
Community
responders
to
to
respond
to
those
calls.
So
this
is
why
Elite
finds
it
imperative
to
conduct
call
narrative
analysis
so
also
in
phase
one.
We
conducts
conversations
with
police
dispatch
and
other
system
stakeholders
to
gain
a
detailed
understanding
of
existing
City
processes
and
programs.
Q
Leap
has
created
a
repository
of
data
on
community
responder
programs,
including
the
way
programs
are
designed,
the
type
of
responders
the
budgets,
the
cost
savings,
the
type
of
calls
responders
handled
hours
of
operation
chain
of
command,
including
which
departments
the
programs
are
housed
and
the
type
of
training
responders
receive
and
phase.
Two
leap
works
with
community
members
and
stakeholders
to
help
them
make
informed
decisions
about
program.
Design
Elite
will
provide
detailed
information
via
meeting
agendas
to
cover
topics
such
as
call
types,
911
dispatch
process,
hours,
budget,
referral,
services
and
timeline.
Q
Also
leap
will
engage
police
and
dispatch
to
ensure
that
their
voices
are
heard
throughout
the
entire
process.
Elite
will
address
the
concerns
of
safety
from
the
perspective
of
the
police,
and
we
have
an
in-house
lawyer
Lisa,
who
is
able
to
address
the
concerns
of
liability
from
a
legal
perspective
based
on
the
on
this
community-led
process.
Q
Lee
provides
an
in-depth,
detailed,
bespoke
preliminary
preliminary
report
that
outlines
the
structure
of
a
program,
including
the
number
of
responders,
the
type
of
responders
responder
qualifications,
the
types
of
training,
possible
training
organizations,
hours
of
operation,
budget
and
program
placement.
This
report
becomes
the
blueprint
for
implementation.
Q
In
fact,
in
Amherst
we
work
with
at
the
city
of
Amherst
to
develop
their
alternative,
Response
Team
and
it's
called
Crest
and
the
program
manager
calls
the
report
that
we
provided
the
Bible
of
his
of
his
program
once
the
city
has
committed
to
implementing
a
community
responder
model,
a
hired
program
and
a
hired
program
manager
in
phase
three
lead
continues
to
provide
advice
and
guidance
to
assist
the
program,
manager
and
understanding
the
recommendations.
Q
All
the
way
through
launch,
so
Lee
will
work
with
Community
stakeholders,
including
police
dispatch
and
Trilogy,
to
understand
current
city
Dynamics
and
keep
stakeholders
involved
and
informed
throughout
the
process.
League
will
also
work
with
the
reimagining
Public
Safety
Committee,
on
the
expanded
response
programs
to
ensure
that
the
development
is
a
community-led
and
design
process.
Elite
will
use
this
information
gathered
from
Community
stakeholders
and
our
repository
of
information
on
programs
across
the
country
to
formulate
a
detailed
needs
assessment
specifically
designed
for
Evanston.
Q
Community-Led
design
in
Evanston
in
other
communities,
City
officials
often
ask
the
community.
Do
you
want
a
program
once
the
community
says?
Yes,
they
kind
of
go
in
the
back
room
and
they
come
out
a
few
months
later
with
a
program
and
just
present
it
to
the
people.
We
want
the
community
and
City
stakeholders
to
be
in
the
driver's
seat,
making
informed
decisions
on
meaningful
aspects
of
the
program
so
that
it
can
be
truly
tailored
to
Evanston.
Q
So
in
the
second
phase
of
the
scope,
leap
will
act
as
project
project
management,
team,
organizing
agendas,
meeting
with
working
group
chairs
presenting
key
content,
manage
the
timeline,
correspond
with
stakeholders
and
shape
community-led
recommendations
and
to
implementable
action.
Steps.
Elite
will
also
provide
ongoing
advice
when
necessary
to
assist
in
the
successful
implementation
of
this
community-led
design
project
until
it
sees
its
final
stages.
M
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
little
bit
of
background
on
this.
Everyone
up
here
knows
that
one
of
the
mayor's
first
acts
I
think
the
mayor's
first
action
was
to
create
the
reimagining
Public
Safety
Committee,
and
this
agenda
item
that
that
you
see
today
was
really
born
out
of
that
committee.
So
the
reimagining
committee
is
a
group
of
both
elected
officials,
elected
council
members,
but
also
community
members
who
have
dedicated
a
significant
amount
of
hours
towards
meeting
on
a
regular
basis
to
come
up
with
recommendations.
M
We
have
three
working
groups,
one
of
the
working
groups
I
chair,
which
is
considering
rethinking
the
organizational
structure
of
our
Police
Department,
the
the
kind
of
driving
question
that
formed
our
our
working
group
is
if
we
did
not
have
a
police
department
and
we're
building
something
from
scratch,
how
would
we
go
about
it
and
early
on
in
our
in
our
discussion,
we
came
across
the
city,
Brooklyn
Center,
Minnesota,
Brooklyn,
Center,
Minnesota
partners
with
leap
as
well
as
fuse
and
some
other
organizations
to
advance
their
work,
and
so
this
is
I
was
talking
to
councilman
Kelly
about
this.
M
This
is
has
not
been
haphazardly,
considered.
We've
been
meeting
for
several
months
about
this
at
the
committee
level
and
the
working
group
level,
and
this
is
really
the
culmination
of
of
months
and
months
of
diligent
research
about
what
we
need
here
in
Evanston.
You
heard
Lionel
mention
turning
Trilogy,
because
Trilogy
has
met
with
leap
on
multiple
occasions,
because
I
wanted,
from
the
very
start,
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
were
locked
in
and
in
sync,
seeing
as
how
you
know
there
as
similar
service.
M
You
know
the
service
that
trilogy
provides
could
overlap
with
what
leap
has
successfully
built
in
other
jurisdictions
and
I.
Think
we
found
out
pretty
quickly
that,
because
the
scope
of
trilogies
work
really
narrowly
focuses
on
those
in
Mental
Health
crisis,
it
is
not
overlap
and
that
we
still
have
a
significant
amount
of
other
calls
that
we
could
forward
that.
We
that
that
don't
need
a
police
response
that
we
can
send
does
Lionel
said
credible
Messengers
to
respond
to
I.
M
Also
thought
Lee
was
a
would
make
a
really
good
partner,
seeing
as
how
they
not
only
are
made
up
of
of
you
know.
Community
members
at
large,
but
also
former
prosecutors,
judges,
police,
Chiefs
and
Law
Enforcement
Officers.
They
give
us
the
credibility
I
think
we
need
to
not
only
have
this
discussion
in
the
community,
which
is
Paramount,
but
to
also
bring
our
law
enforcement
officers
in
in
the
discussion,
which
is
really
important.
I've
been
at
roll
calls
at
our
police
department
and
I
can
tell
you
at
least
from
my
experience.
M
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
that
they're
fully,
they
feel
like
that.
Their
input
is
being
fully
considered
and
not
that
they're
not
at
the
table,
but
that's
only
the
first
step.
The
second
step
is
really
feeling
like
you
know.
Your
your
input
is
being
properly
considered
and
reflected
in
decisions
and
and
so
I
think
we
still
have
some
work
to
do
there
and
I
think
leap.
Has
that
credibility
to
convene
those
meetings
and
to
help
us
move
the
needle
there?
M
So
they're,
obviously
here
to
answer
any
questions
along
with
this
is
also
it
was
also
included
in
the
packet.
Is
an
admin
position,
a
20
to
30
dollar
an
hour
admin
position
that
is
separate
from
the
leap
proposal.
M
This
is
I
think
this
will
be
our
first
arpa
allocation
that
specifically
aims
to
address
kind
of
Public,
Safety
and
criminal
justice
issues,
which
is
another
priority
of
Arbor
funds,
as
as
it
was
contemplated
and
I
think
this
is
a
great
way
to
to
also
kind
of
advance
that
work
using
Arbor
funds,
and
that's
all
for
now.
Thank
you,
chair.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Reed,.
E
Just
a
couple
of
questions
about
process
to
clarify,
so
this
concept,
councilmember
Burns,
has
acknowledged,
was
born
out
of
the
reimagining
Public
Safety
Committee.
So
it
comes
to
us
having
been
endorsed,
or
you
know,
recommended
formally
by
that
committee.
I,
don't
think.
M
Certainly
out
of
our
working
group,
this
is
this
comes
supported
and
endorsed,
and-
and
you
know,
mayor
biss
and
others
have
been
a
part
of
this
discussion.
This
started
off
as
it's
always
been
lead,
but
it
also
started
off
as
a
fuse
discussion
which
city
staff
and
the
mayor
have
been
a
part
of
of
all
those
meetings
and
discussions
that
we've
had
and
you
know,
we've
kind
of
dropped,
fuse
changed
it
into
an
internal
admin
position
and
then
leap
has
never
changed.
It's
always
been
a
partnership
with
with
leap.
M
Well,
that's
what's
confusing
me
too
is
I.
I
feel
like
this
winter
was
already
voted
out
of
Human
Services
committee
and
was
really
supposed
to
appear
at
Council.
I.
Think
it's
here
because
because
of
the
contract,
I
guess
all
contracts
go
here.
Maybe
Dave
can
speak
to
that
better
than
I
can
but
I
feel
like
something
was
passed
out
of
committee.
I
thought
this
was
actually
going
to
appear
at
Council,
but
I
think.
Maybe
it's
because
it's
a
contract
is
why
it's
here
and.
C
E
Was
here
so
someone
by
that
has
probably
already
asked
what
is
the
position
of
Evans
and
police
department
leadership
on
this
I.
E
N
E
M
I
guess
I:
do
you
think
there
would
they
would
be
concerned
with
it?
I
don't
I.
M
Mean
the
only
thing
I've
heard
of
that
directly.
The
only
thing
I've
heard
of
some
of
our
individual
law
enforcement
officers
in
the
city
is:
is
they
see
this
very
similar
to
I?
Think
they
call
it
in
Lionel
can
kind
of
talk
more
about
it
if
needed,
but
a
Community
Service
Officer
model,
which
is
which
is
a
similar
response
program,
is
what
was
described,
but
it's
it's
run
through
the
police
department.
So
there's
most
there's
cities
that
have
it.
M
This
is
what
we're
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
really
to
tailor
using
this
really
powered
by
this
analysis
of
the
cad
data
really
tailor
something
that
is
works
for
Evanston,
which
will
consider
community
service.
You
know
officer
programs,
as
well
as
our
problem,
solving
team
office
program
that
we
recently
you
know
have
reassigned
some
of
those
officers
to
fill
some
gaps.
That
also,
in
some
ways,
is
similar
to
the
response
of
this
program
that
they,
you
know
frequently,
you
know,
try
to
handle
neighbor
disputes
and
other
disagreements
in
neighborhoods.
E
D
E
If
there
was
someone
here
and
so
and
then
I
did
have
another
question
about
the
the
contract
analyst
is,
that
does
that
have
to
move
together?
Is
this
a
package
deal
or
the
analyst
the
the
contract.
M
It'll
be
an
admin
position,
admin
or
whatever
yeah
I
mean
I.
Think
it
should
I
mean
you've
heard
me
say
this:
a
bunch
and
I'll
continue
to
say
it.
We
cannot
continue
to
try
to
advance
really
important
and
difficult
work
and
throw
little
to
no
staff
at
it.
It's
not
fair
to
the
volunteers
of
the
committee
and
the
working
groups
who
spend
their
dedicate
their
time
to
do
this
work.
We
need
staff,
I
mean
it's,
it's
a
big
lift
and
it's
the
reason
we
were
actually
supposed
to
have
recommendations
ready
for
this
budget
cycle.
M
The
only
reason
we
haven't
is
one:
you
know
we
didn't
have
a
city
manager
in
place
with
delayed
things,
but
also,
certainly
in
the
case
of
our
working
group
and
others.
We
just
don't
have
the
staff
support
right.
I
can
convene
the
meetings,
but
there's
a
lot
of
research
and
and
meetings
and
organizing
that
needs
to
be
happening
in
between
those
meetings
for
them
to
be
effective.
So
we
just
we
can't
do
it.
We
can't
do
it
with
cart.
We
can't
do
it.
We're
reimagining,
Public
Safety,
it's
in
the
name
right
reimagine.
E
Office,
okay
and
now
the
city
manager
is
back
city
manager.
Stowe.
Can
you
speak
to
the
Evanston
Police
Department's
position
on
this
on
the
leap
proposal.
P
Good
evening
members
of
the
APW
committee,
Luke's
Doe
City
Manager
I
apologize.
We
have
a
Chief,
Stewart
and
100
of
our
closest
friends
out
here.
So
we've
been
working
through
that
a
part
of
the
the
timeline
here
was
to
try
to
align
this
with
the
arrival
of
Chief
Stewart
Chief
Stewart
is
a
supporter
of
the
reimagining
initiative,
including
she
actually
serves
on
a
Statewide
committee,
which
is
very
closely
aligned
with
the
goals
that
we
imagining
committee
I.
M
We
have
a
the
city
already
has
a
separate
agreement
with
leap
that
allows
them
to
review
our
CAD
data,
so
we
established
that
partnership
first,
so
there's
a
formal
partnership
in
agreement
with
the
city
of
our
already
for
them
to
analyze
this.
This
important
data
to
help
drive
this
work
forward,
and
so
leap
has
been
in
touch
with
Chief
Edinson
and
with
our
Law
Department,
and
so
there
there
is
a
formal
kind
of
collaboration
in
that
way.
Great
thanks,
I'd.
A
Like
to
just
make
a
comment
again,
it
sounds
like
a
wonderful
program.
I
think
we
have
so
much
expertise
right
here
among
our
staff
and
in
our
community,
and
although
this
does
sound
fabulous
and
we
are
having
a
meeting
to
discuss,
Public
Safety
and
reimagining
Public
Safety
throughout
our
business
districts
on
Wednesday
and
we've
been
working
on
this
and
I
I
and
we're
also
working
in
conjunction
with.
A
We
have
the
director
of
the
Department
of
Public
Health
from
Denver
with
the
star
program,
which
is
a
fabulous
program
that
really
modeled
itself
after
the
Cahoots
program
in
Eugene
cities
that
are
willing
to
work
with
us.
The
most
important
thing
again
that
we're
learning
is
that
this
should
be
Community,
Based
and
I.
Think
we
have
Community
right
here
to
develop
the
programs
that
we
need
and
that
we
don't
really
need
Consultants
I,
think
you
have
an
amazing,
reimagining
and
I.
A
Would
love
I
think
we're
all
waiting
very
anxiously
for
to
council
member
News
Miss
Point
recommendations
that
are
coming
directly
out
of
the
reimagining
public
safety,
the
large
committee
and
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
this
wasn't
exactly
voted
on
endorsed
to
move
forward
and
that's
what
I
would
like
to
see
that
would
have
been.
You
know.
A
That
would
be
great
if
this
was
something
that
the
whole
reimagining
committee
had
decided
had
vetted
and
again
I'm,
not
no
doubts
that
this
isn't
a
great
organization
but
I
think
that's
what
I
would
like
to
hear
at
this
point
that
the
reimagined
committee
has
is
coming
forward
with
this
at
this
point
again
I'm
going
to
ask
that
we,
because
there's
so
much
overlapping
when
we're
looking
at
you
know
like
Street
enforcement
teams
or
the
community
service
officers.
These
are
in-house.
A
These
are
in-house
civilian
officers,
and
it's
so
important
again
in
what
I'm
hearing
out
of
Denver
is
that
they're
being
pushed
to
bring
everything
in-house
and
the
most
important
thing
from
the
director
of
Public
Safety?
He
said:
is
that
they're
really
streamlining
it
so
that
it's
centralized
and
coordinated
and
I
just
I?
A
Don't
think
we
should
move
forward
on
this,
yet
we're
just
about
to
welcome
in
our
new
police
chief
I
think
this
needs
to
be
discussed
more
I
think
we
should
wait
until
we
have
one
or
two
more
of
our
meetings
to
try
to
develop
a
more
coordinated
plan
around
Public
Safety,
including
crisis
Outreach,
including
Street
enforcement
teams.
A
M
Secondly,
I
mean
I
would
welcome
you
to
join
the
discussion.
We've
been
having
around
this
issue
for
several
months
now.
I
think
really.
Your
most
recent
effort
is
is
kind
of
pulled
away
from
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
on
this
already
and
I.
Invite
you
to
that
discussion
so
that
you
can
participate.
E
Yeah
I
think
there
are
two
separate,
but
very
overlapping
discussions
happening
that
we
need
to
take
a
minute
and
and
try
and
get
on
the
same
page
sure,
but
so
are
we
yeah?
Are
we
saying
like
this
should
not
be
on
our
agenda
tonight?
Yes,.
A
D
A
D
Reed
yeah,
thank
you,
I'm
glad,
I
waited
a
second
to
speak,
so
I
I
sit
on
all
three
of
the
working
groups
of
the
reimagining
Public
Safety
Committee,
including
the
working
group
that
is
chaired
by
council
member
Burns.
It's
been
a
little
bit
since
any
of
those
committees
have
met,
but
this
has
been
in
the
process
for
quite
some
time
and
as
councilmember
Burns
noted,
many
stakeholders
have
been
involved.
The
the
police
department
has
been
involved
with
this
process.
D
Mayor
biss
has
been
involved
with
the
working
group
that
is
looking
to
reimagine,
Public
Safety
has
been
involved
and
I
think
this
is
a
very
I
understand
the
parallels
that
you
know:
you're
referring
to
council
member
Kelly.
Regarding
the
you
know,
Public
Safety
conversation.
That's
going
to
happen.
You
know
regarding
our
business
districts,
but
this
is
a
much
larger
conversation
and
this
you
know
sitting
on
that
committee
and
sitting
on
all
three
of
those
working
groups.
D
I
very
deeply
understand
how
this
work,
which
is
I,
think
critical
to
this
body
and
which
all
of
us
really
care
about
is
not
receiving
the
support
that
it
needs,
and
this
is
a
forty
thousand
dollar
ask
to
give
us
that
support
to
to
do
what
many
communities
I
think
what
the
residents
are
really
calling
for
us
to
do
is
not
just
approach
our
reimagining
Public
Safety
from
an
emotional
standpoint,
or
you
know,
based
on
you
know,
wherever
the
political
wins
are
blowing,
but
to
really
dig
down
into
the
data.
D
Look
at
the
numbers
understand
what
it
is
our
Police
Department
is
being
deployed
for
and
how
we
can
better
reimagine
or
redeploy
those
limited
resources,
and
so
this
is
a
small
dollar.
Ask
it's
been
voted
on
by
the
Human
Services
committee,
I
believe
unanimously
by
the
Human
Services
committee
is
my
recollection
and,
and
that
committee
got
a
to
to
to
speak
with
the
leap
folks
and
the
other
folks
and
I
think
we
should
move
this
forward.
D
D
I
guess
we
weren't
supposed
to
be
voting.
A
On
this,
so
we're
not
going
to
vote
on
this
this
without
a
recommendation
because
it
was
seems
it
was
supposed
to
have
gone
to
council,
okay
and
because
we're
running
late,
I'm
going
to
do
I
have
to
move
motion
that
no
we're.
C
A
Oh
we're
still
12
15.,
okay,
all
right.
So
would
somebody
like
to
move
item
a12.
D
And
move
item
a12
resolution
107,
R22,
I,
move
it
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
waive
the
standard
purchasing
process
for
construction
and
improvements
for
the
temporary
housing
of
Evanston
animal
shelter,
Association
animals.
D
A
A
Those
in
favor
aye,
so
one
two,
three
four
in
favor,
one
against.
E
Madam,
chair
I'll,
move
item,
a13
resolution,
109
R22
authorizing
the
settlement
of
claims
in
capezias
at
all
versus
the
city
of
f.
Second,.
D
This
is
a
settlement
that
I
discussed
earlier,
so
it's
been
discussed.
Okay,.
D
D
M
Think
I
talked
to
everybody
here
about
this.
If
you
recall
properties,
I
think
the
the
dollar
amount
is
150,
no
more
than
159
000,
allowing
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
negotiate.
M
This
is
in
speaking
with
CPA.
They
are
willing
to.
If
we
were
to
give
to
gift
this
to
them,
siba
being
Community
Partners
for
affordable
housing,
they
would
be
willing
to
put
in
what
they
estimate
about
150
000,
to
improve
the
property,
to
get
it
moving
ready
and
then
it
would.
The
property
would
go
into
their
land
trust,
their
their
land,
trust
caps,
the
resell
amounts.
M
You
don't
have
somebody
that
reaps
the
benefit
of
the
program,
but
then
sells
the
home
for
half
a
million
dollars
later,
but
instead
there's
a
resale
cap
and
the
because
the
home
is
in
the
land.
Trust
cipa
continues
to
own
the
land.
The
the
land
and
the
homeowner
owns
the
home
they're
able
to
sell
homes
in
Evanston
for
about
move-in
ready,
200
000,
which
everyone
in
this
room
who
lives
in
Evanston
knows
does
not
the
mark.
Market
does
not
produce
that.
Naturally.
So
again,
I've
talked
to
everybody
here
about
this.
M
This
is
a
pretty
kind
of
straightforward
item
and
I
would
appreciate
the
support.
E
I
will
support
it
with
the
acknowledgment
that
this
is
kind
of
an
opportunistic
acquisition.
I
think
it's
the
right
opportunity,
we're
we're
acting
quickly
when
the
need
or
when
the
opportunity
presented
itself.
What
would
make
me
even
happier
is
if
we
had
an
overriding
strategy
and
and
staff
and
funding
to
allow
us
to
approach
this
kind
of
acquisition,
more
strategically
yeah.
But
that's
a
discussion
for
another
evening
and.
E
M
Weird,
the
one
of
the
few's
referrals
that
I
had
and
I'm
happy
about
this
kind
of
has
turned
itself
into
a
the
city:
hiring
a
full-time
senior
housing
planner,
which
I'm
ecstatic
about
staff
has
told
me
that,
instead
of
that,
they
wanted
to
hold
off
from
developing
the
plan
that
you
just
mentioned
that
we
all
want
until
we
have
that
senior
housing
planner
in
place.
But
in
the
meantime,
when
opportunities
like
this
come
up,
I
think
you
know
we
we
need
to
take
advantage
of
them.
I
agree.
A
Okay
and
I
any
other
questions
or
comments,
so
so
it
would
be.
Nice
also
I
think
some
one
of
the
public
comments
about
having
rules.
So
this
will
happen
I'm
sure,
from
time
to
time
where
we
have
to
move
on
something
in
order
to
get
the
price
and
I
know,
that's
you're
concerned
for
the
city
to
have
site
control
over
something.
That's
that
we
can
purchase
for
a
reasonable
price,
but
it
would
be
nice
to
have
some
rules
around
that
I.
Think
people
do
feel
a
little
bit
that
it
wasn't
brought
up.
A
I
guess
at
your
ward
meeting.
Is
that
correct
and
so
I
know
for
land
trust
it
can.
A
M
M
What
I'm
saying
is
is
that
sipa,
the
executive
director
at
sepa
has
has
he
sent
his
contract
to
the
property
of
my
request,
because
there
was
a
fire
at
the
property
just
to
make
sure
that
structurally,
that
it
would
sound
that
this
was
a
good
investment
for
the
C
for
the
city
and
forsipa,
and
they
determined
that
it
was
and
that
if
we
were
to
gift
them
the
property
that
they
would
put
it
in
a
land
trust
put
in
the
money
needed
to
restore
it
and
sell
it
again
for
about
200
000.
M
The
mortgage
on.
It
typically
is
about
twelve
hundred
dollars
a
month
so
again,
something
that
the
market
will
not
naturally
create
in
Evanston,
and
so,
but
it's
up
to
us
to
determine
if
we
want
to
go
with
siba
or
some
other
affordable
housing.
Developer
sifa
is
is
a
is
a
known
kind
of
partner
in
Evanston,
affordable
housing,
developer
and
property
manager
that
we
work
with
and
the
only
and
they
have
the
only
Land
Trust
in
the
area.
A
Thank
you,
yeah
I,
just
think
it's
great,
so
the
idea
is
that
it
would
be
for
home
ownership
for
affordable,
not
for.
A
Would
be
rehabbing
the
house
correct,
okay
and
then,
in
terms
of
so
any
profit
made
from
this,
would
go
to
sepa,
not
back
to
the
city,
to
our
affordable
housing
fund.
M
A
M
A
M
Definitely
a
plan,
as
I
said
it
was
stat.
We
could
start
working
on
the
plan
tomorrow.
It
was
up
to
me
I
think
what
I
heard
loud
and
clear
from
staff
is
that
they
would
like
this
senior
housing
person
to
be
in
place.
I
do
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
community
part
is
whether
you
look
at
at
no
matter
what
plan
you
look
at,
whether
it's
for
this
area
other
areas.
It's
the
same
thing.
M
M
Yes,
that's
the
Mandate
make
it
happen
for
us
to
make
it
happen,
so
everything
that
I
do
in
terms
of
the
the
real
estate
opportunities
that
that
I
will
recommend
to
this
body
is
based
off
that
mandate
and
if
the
Mandate
changes
I'm
sure
the
public
will,
let
me
know,
but
I,
don't
think
it's
changed.
A
A
N
A
You,
okay,
so
all
in
favor,
all
right,
okay,
the
eyes
have
it
all.
A
Okay,
all
right
so
next
item
item.
D
Support
here,
if
council
member
Burns
is
okay
to
table
item
D1
and
D2
till
our
next
meeting,
I.
