If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
This
is
administration
and
public
works,
as
you
all
know,
and
the
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
approval
of
the
minutes
of
our
regular
meeting
august
15
I'm
sitting
in
for
alderman
Braithwaite,
who
will
be
here
later.
His
mother
is
extremely
ill
and
he
brought
her
home
from
the
hospital,
which
is
the
good
news.
So
first
item
is
approval
of
the
minutes
of
our
meeting
of
august
15.
We
have
a
motion.
Thank
you.
Any
changes
hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor
say
aye.
A
It's
been
suggested
since
we
have
a
large,
a
number
of
people
who
wish
to
speak.
If
anybody
objects
should
we
have
our
speakers
first
before
we
get
into
our
meeting
okay,
Elron
homes,
almond
Miller
degrees.
Is
it
okay,
I'll
win
win
all
right,
so
we're
going
to
do
that.
It
appears.
Most
of
our
speakers
are
having
to
do
with
the
benchmark
ordinance.
Let
me
just
look
through
here:
I
think,
all
of
them
10
with
Harley
Clark,
okay.
A
B
B
B
These
are
the
manufacturers
that
make
the
products
that
reduce
energy
waste
in
buildings,
including
energy,
efficient
lighting,
efficient
motors
and
drives
that
control,
elevators,
escalators
and
heating
and
cooling
systems,
as
well
as
thermostats
and
other
building
controls
that
help
owners
and
occupants
save
energy
money
and
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
Energy
efficiency
improvements
like
these
support,
local
construction
engineering
and
manufacturing
jobs.
These
are
good-paying
jobs
that
can't
be
outsourced
and
the
money
spent
on
energy
upgrades
stays
in
the
community.
So,
by
investing
in
energy
efficiency,
this
bill
is
also
helping
to
bolster
evanston's
economy.
B
We've
seen
other
cities
do
this
and
we've
seen
other
cities.
Save
energy
nema
conducted
a
survey
of
New
York
City
facility
managers
and
found
that,
as
a
result
of
New
York's
benchmarking
ordinance.
Seventy-Seven
percent
made
a
low
or
no-cost
improvement
to
their
building
and
seventy-five
percent
invested
money
to
actually
upgrade
the
equipment
in
their
building.
B
Studies
by
MIT
in
New
York
University
have
also
confirmed
that
benchmarking
and
transparency
ordinance
to
the
save
energy
nema
and
its
members
support
this
proposed
ordinance
because
it
would
increase
transparency
in
the
real
estate
market
as
to
the
true
cost
of
owning
and
operating
a
building.
No
one
would
buy
a
car
without
first
knowing
it's
miles
per
gallon
rating
or
a
food
product
without
consulting
the
Nutrition
Facts
label,
but
we
do
that
all
the
time
of
buildings.
B
C
D
Good
evening
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
today,
it
is
to
speak
in
support
of
evidence
proposed
energy
benchmarking
ordinance.
My
name
is
Corey
lichtenberger,
I
work
for
Schneider
Electric
us
shatter
electric
is
a
global
leader
in
energy
management
automation,
and
we
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
offer
a
few
comments.
I
applaud
the
city
of
evanston's
leadership
and
driving
a
discussion
about
advancing
energy
transparency
and
reducing
energy
waste
and
buildings.
I
come
here
today
to
voice
Schneider
Electric
strong
support
for
the
proposed
benchmarking.
D
Ordinance
evanston
would
become
one
of
the
first
cities
in
the
state
of
Illinois
to
empower
building
occupants
and
owners
to
make
better
better
and
informed
decisions
about
their
residency
costs,
as
is
often
the
case
in
today's
world.
Information
and
data
empower
people
to
make
better
and
more
informed
decisions,
but
with
regards
to
buildings,
many
people
lack
the
visibility
into
energy
performance
and
the
ongoing
cost
they
will
face
from
operations.
Keep
in
mind
the
cost
to
operate
most
buildings
over
the
life
span
is
as
much
as
five
times
greater
than
the
cost
to
build
the
building.
D
Initially,
one
of
this
one
of
the
business
services
that
Schneider
Electric
provides
to
our
customers
are
building
energy
audits.
We
identify
areas
of
energy
waste
and
also
areas
of
opportunity
to
save.
We
typically
find
that
our
customers
are
surprised
when
exposed
to
energy
data
about
their
building
and
excited
when
presented
with
ideas,
to
improve
efficiency
and
cut
their
costs.
Benchmarking
ordinances
do
expose
sometimes
ugly
energy
use
data
for
buildings,
and
this
becomes
a
critical
first
step
for
identifying
opportunities
for
improvement.
D
A
benchmarking
ordinance
could
potentially
allow
purchasers
or
renters
to
comparison
shop
and
to
make
informed
decisions.
It
also
allows
building
owners
to
understand
the
current
energy
performance
of
their
properties
relative
to
others
in
the
community.
A
benchmarking
database
can
even
identify
the
lowest
performing
buildings
in
the
city
or
allow
for
a
spotlight
to
be
shined
on
the
best
performing
buildings.
Disclosing
building
energy
use
has
been
shown
to
increase
buildings,
resale
value,
rental
rates
and
occupancy
rates.
D
A
recent
EPA
report
showed
that
on
average
buildings
that
benchmarked
energy
performance
also
reduce
their
energy
usage
by
seven
percent
over
three
years.
All
Evanston
consumers
and
businesses
benefit
when
we
reduce
energy
waste
efficient,
more
productive
buildings
are
more
affordable,
more
reliable
and
mitigate
the
impact
of
fuel
and
utility
price
increases.
For
these
reasons,
we
strongly
encourage
evanston
to
pass
this
important
energy
savings
policy.
Thank
you.
E
My
name
is
richer
1512,
Wesley
40
year
resident
of
Evanston
and
I
am
on
the
Utilities
Commission,
and
this
would
be
very
brief.
I've
heard
some
comments
that
the
wording
to
encourage
compliance
seems
a
bit
harsh
I
spent
five
years
as
a
consultant
traveling
around
the
country.
Putting
in
incentive
systems
I
assure
you
it
is
not
harsh-
is
a
gentle
nudge
for
the
building
owners
to
get
some
information
they
may
not
have
that
may
very
well
benefit
them.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C

Next,
we
have
excuse
me:
Joel
Freeman,
John,
D'angelo,
Jonathan,
new
spam
and
Nikolai
Chabot.
F
Good
evening
my
name
is
Joel.
Freeman
I've
been
a
resident
of
Evanston
for
25
years
at
2151,
hartree
I
mean
he
was
a
citizen,
but
I've
worked
at
a
consulting
engineering
firm
here
in
evanston
grumman
Butkus
associates
a
lot
of
our
house.
A
lot
of
our
clients
over
the
years
have
been
hospitals
and
a
little
over
20
years
ago
we
started
an
energy
benchmarking
program
at
no
charge.
Anybody
could
could
participate.
F
We
started
with
about
25
hospitals
who
participated,
went
up
to
50,
and
now
we
average
between
90
and
100
in
each
of
our
annual
surveys.
One
thing
that
we've
found
is
that
once
people
do
this,
they
want
to
do
it.
They
want
to
know
where
they
stand.
They
want
to
know
whether
they
should
improve
whether
they
shouldn't
continue
doing
what
they're
doing,
and
it's
been.
F
Obviously,
in
some
cases
it's
been
a
way
for
our
firm
to
to
acquire
some
business,
because
we've
assembled
this
information.
There
are
some
participants
who
we
have
no
dealings
with
whatsoever,
except
for
the
voluntary
participation
in
this
survey,
but
they
look
forward
to
it
every
year
and
so
once
they
once
they
learn.
What's
what
this
information
contains
are
very
motivated
afterwards?
F
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
just
touch
on
briefly
was
the
discussion
about
the
penalty.
This
follows
up
on
our
last
comments.
You
know
the
idea
of
the
penalty
obviously
is
not
to
raise
money.
It's
not
a
revenue
source.
This
is
just
a
way
to
dissuade
indifference
to
the
ordinance,
and
so
you
know
whatever
level
it
takes
to
and
encourage
participation.
I
think
is
a
good
thing,
so
all
that
to
say
like
to
encourage
the
City
Council
to
pass
this
ordinance
I
think
it's
a
good
thing
for
evanston.
G
Hi
good
evening
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
John
D'angelo
and
I'm,
both
an
Evanston
resident
and
this
evening,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
Northwestern
University,
in
strong
support
for
this
ordinance
since
northwestern
started,
benchmarking
using
the
EPA's
Energy
Star
program,
portfolio
manager,
we've
taken
eleven
percent
savings
in
our
energy
usage,
which
is
not
an
insignificant
contribution.
G
As
far
as
the
incentive
goes
coming
out
of
two
cities
that
had
previously
adopted
measures
similar
to
this,
including
previously
within
New
York
City.
The
current
wording
is
far
from
a
penalty.
It
is
I,
think
very
appropriate
as
an
incentive.
So
again,
thank
you
for
your
time
and
both
myself
and
northwestern
university
is
in
strong
support
of
this
measure.
Thank
you.
H
Good
evening
alderman,
my
name
is
Jonathan
Newsome
appearing
tonight,
as
co-chair
of
the
Utilities
Commission
on
behalf
of
dick
Lanyon,
who
is
on
vacation
and
I
again,
will
urge
I
will
stress
our
strong
support
for
the
benchmarking
ordinance.
Some
other
folks
tonight
are
speaking
to
the
benefits
of
the
ordinance,
but
just
a
couple
of
points
I
want
to
make
number
one
specific
to
the
penalty.
H
Several
of
you
have
expressed
a
concern
about
the
penalty
language
in
the
original
draft,
which
imposed
a
penalty
of
fifty
dollars
per
day
of
non-compliance.
The
draft
has
been
changed
and
is
currently
written.
The
penalty
is
now
hundred
dollars
a
month
which
remains
punitive
enough
to
off
to
act
as
an
incentive,
but
it's
obviously
not
a
revenue
stream.
H
Several
folks
have
mentioned
that
there
are
other
cities
that
have
done
this.
Evanston
will
not
be
a
leader.
In
this
case.
We
are
following
in
the
path
not
only
the
city
of
Chicago,
but
also
Minneapolis
in
Kansas
City
kind
of
an
hour
midwest
neck
of
the
woods
here.
San
francisco
Berkeley
Cambridge
Boston,
both
Washington's
DC
and
Washington
State,
have
benchmarking
ordinances
in
place.
So
this
is
something
that
evanston
needs
to
do
to
stay
on
that
map
and
we
will
get
additional
credit
for
this
towards
our
star
community
program
as
well.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
My
name
is
Nikolai
scales
boy.
I
live
at
1139
elmwood,
I'm
a
35
year
resident
of
city
of
Evanston
I'm
board
member
of
citizens,
greener
Everson
just
wanted
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
benchmarking
audience,
our
own
Ernest
ordinance.
This
is
a
logical
consequence
of
the
city's
earlier
commitment
to
the
mayor's
conference
agreement
on
climate
change
and
I
believe
that
this
has
broad
support
throughout
the
community
and
should
be
passed.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
J
K
Lie
in
re
networks,
oops,
sorry,
thank
you.
I'm
Leslie,
shad,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
citizens,
green
or
evanston
I'm,
its
vice
president
I'm,
not
going
to
repeat
other
comments
made,
but
I
want
to
mention
a
couple
of
things
in
that,
as
apart
from
the
penalty
complying
is
simple,
its
low-cost.
It
takes
a
few
minutes
a
year
to
enter
the
data.
After
that,
it's
also
been
mentioned
that
the.
K
How
is
this
different
from
just
having
you're
looking
at
your
energy
bill
and,
of
course
you
can
compare
across
owners
and
comparable
buildings,
so
there's
a
big
difference.
I
also
want
to
mention
m
Jonathan
mentioned
that
it
will
count
toward
the
star
community
rating.
It
also
it
permits
smarter
City.
Planning
I
want
to
mention
that
more
strategic
mortify,
you
know
more
priorities
defined
according
to
actuality,
faster
progress
for
sustainability.
So
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
are
cramming
for
this
and
I.
Just
also
meant
want
to
mention
the
robust
public
engagement
on
this.
K
L
M
Hi
there
I'm
Chuck
wasserburg
I've,
been
in
evanston
for
over
20
years,
I
love
at
908,
greenwood
street
and
I
just
and
I'm
a
member
of
citizens
green
or
Evanston
as
well
and
I
just
want
to
encourage
you
strongly
to
pass
this
ordinance.
I.
Think
it's
a
great
thing
and
in
the
interest
of
letting
people
leave
here
before
2am
I
think
I'll
stop
here.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
J
Good
evening,
I'm
rayon
Declan,
I'm
also
a
citizen
of
Evanston
at
16,
17,
Kirk,
well,
I
am
also
a
past
president
of
a
ie
Chicago.
So
that's
one
of
the
hats
I'm
wearing
today
to
express
the
American
Institute
of
Architects
strong
support
for
this
ordinance
I
in
my
day,
job.
In
the
end,
the
chief
sustainability
officer
of
a
1300
person,
architecture
firm.
This
is
something
we
do
a
lot
of.
We
are
deeply
engaged
in
changing
the
relationship
of
energy
in
the
built
environment.
From
the
eyes
perspective.
J
We
see
this
is
a
an
ordinance
that
will
lead
to
economic
development,
related
to
energy
assessment,
benchmarking
and
ultimately,
building
improvements
to
reduce
energy
consumption
and
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
from
building
energy
consumption,
to
reduce
energy
costs
for
businesses
and
for
the
building
operations
and
tenants
within
those
buildings,
and
to
provide
energy
information
for
building
owners
in
tenets
driving
a
marketplace
for
continuous
improvement,
which
is
really
what
we're
all
looking
for
so
again
from
the
American
Institute
of
Architects.
We
voice
our
strong
support
for
this
ordinance.
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
N
There
was
a
long
process
in
preparation
for
this
ordinance
on
the
environment
board
and
in
the
Utilities,
Commission
and
I,
don't
even
know
how
many
other
people
worked
on
this
ordinance
to
make
it
such
a
great
piece
of
legislation
that
then
you
get
to
vote
on
now.
So
I
did
want
to
thank
staff
and
other
members
of
the
utility.
What
are
the
evanston
environment
board?
Who
couldn't
be
here
tonight,
especially
Hugh
Bartling,
who
worked
on
that
work?
N
Done
it
a
long
time
and
the
utilities
board
I
just
want
to
point
that
out,
because
evanston
has
a
lot
of
volunteer
boards
and
sometimes
it
feels
like
no
one's
listening
or
like
what
we
do
is
like
dead
or
doesn't
go
anywhere.
So
I
just
wanted
some
recognition
for
for
that
work
and
to
thank
all
the
people
on
those
boards
and
the
staff
that
has
worked
with
us
to
to
work
on
this
ordinance
so
and
also
all
the
people
that
are
testifying
tonight.
N
It's
amazing,
like
all
these
are
volunteers,
and
it's
an
amazing
thing
about
evanston
and
indeed
even
America,
that
we
have
all
these
people.
We
had
the
Chinese
students
from
Northwestern
at
our
meeting
the
other
night
and
they
were
so
curious
about
volunteers
and
what
we
do,
but
so
thank
you,
City
Council,
to
for
what
you
do
well.
C
Thank
you,
I
guess,
just
a
quick
comment.
Miss
Edwards
because
and
I
hope
I
can
speak
for
everyone
behind
the
days
that
we
truly
value
all
of
our
committees
and
the
wonderful
while
and
volunteer
work
that
our
citizens
of
evidence
then
engage
in
every
single
day,
and
so
it's
very
valuable,
insert
a
necessary
to
the
work
that
we
do.
So.
Thank
you
very
much.
All
right.
We've
had
the
approval
of
the
minutes
items
for
consideration
autumn
Miller.
Do
you
want
to
take
item
a1
and
a2.
C
C
O
A
A
three
point:
one
is
purchase
of
a
fleet
telematic
automatic
vehicle
locator
from
verizon
in
the
amount
of
20,000.
This
is
a
one-time
expense.
L
A

O
O
O
Q
A
A
R
This
is
a
contact
with
sungard
public
sector
for
purchase
of
an
arrest
and
citation
application.
The
staff
recommends
the
city
council
authorized
the
city
manager
to
execute
a
contract
for
the
purchase
of
an
arrest
and
citation
application
from
sungard
public
sector.
The
applications,
installation
and
training
on
its
usage
will
cost
thirty
thousand
two

Can
feel
that
question
chairman
Braithwaite
members
of
the
committee
grant
for
our
corporation
counsel
with
respect
to
the
evaluation
process
of
the
two
brokers?
What
we
did
is
we
had
meetings
for
a
couple
of
hours
with
each
broker
and
what
we
try
to
do
is
explore
their
claims,
history
and
handling
portfolio
and
match
them
up,
and
one
of
the
things
that
struck
us
about
the
Owens
group
and
was
attractive
about
their
proposal
was
in
terms
of
the
workers
compensation.
S
They
seemed
to
have
a
strong
core
competency
there
with
respect
to
the
Gallagher
on
the
excess
liability
and
the
property
insurance.
They
I
think
are
the
second
largest
brokerage
firm
in
the
world,
and
what
we
fully
expect
and
anticipate
them
to
do
is
to
use
that
market
presence
to
leverage
the
cost
of
coverage
to
the
city
downwards.
So
and
that's
actually
a
strategy
that
worked
well
with
the
current
incumbent,
and
we
fully
expect
and
will
demand
continues
with
Gallagher
if
they
are
awarded
that
contract
great.

introduction.
Second,
it's.
C
Been
properly
moved
in
seconded
and
comments,
I
I'll
go
ahead
and
comment,
then,
in
first
of
all,
just
thank
you
to
all
the
people
who
showed
up
as
well
as
staff.
They
put
a
lot
of
work
into
this
ordinance
two
weeks
ago.
I
wasn't
here
for
the
second
round
of
conversations,
but
I
was
for
the
original
and
I
voice.
My
concerns
then,
and
it's
the
same,
concern
that
I
have
I
think
that
this
is
a
wonderful
program.
C
I
think
it
will
do
wonderful
things
in
terms
of
city
of
Evanston.
The
only
concern
that
I've
always
said
I
am
glad
to
see
that
there
was
an
adjustment
made
on
the
penalty,
but
I
still
on
behalf
of
the
businesses.
I
think
this
is
a
great
thing.
I
think
all
I've
been
rainy
made
the
comments
at
the
last
meeting
that
I
attended,
that
most
business
is
just
purely
financial,
are
incentivized
to
find
more
effective
ways
to
reduce
their
costs.
But
again,
I
have
a
serious.
A
Raining
well,
one
of
the
things
that
I
found
interesting
is
that
several
owners
who
came
at
our
last
meeting
I
discovered,
have
properties
in
Chicago
and
are
familiar
with
the
process.
Yes
and
know
how
to
do
this,
and
and
I
have
software
and
systems
in
place,
and
so
to
complain
about
doing
it.
Nevin
ssin,
when
they're
already
doing
it
in
Chicago,
may
also
be
doing
it
here.
Right.
P
A
Will
reduce
the
carbon
footprint
and
we
always
resist
things
that
are
new
to
us
and
I,
hopefully
I
think
there's
an
indication
by
their
absence
tonight.
Perhaps
something
has
come
to
them.
That
makes
them
more
accepting
of
this.
So,
let's
see
what
happens
at
our
next
meeting
and
perhaps
maybe
we'll
get
some
calls
in
the
meantime
or
we'll
make
some
calls
and.

Ordinance
1806
teen
amending

by
creating

This
is
a
license
that
creates
a

Let
me
I'm
going
to
get
this
exactly
right:
a
craft
winery
wineries
allowing
for
the
sale
of
wine
for
exclusive
off-site
consumption.
This
is
this
is
specifically
for
the
sale
of
we
have
craft
breweries,
but
we
have
no
license
that
allows
for
craft
wine
making
and
we
have
North
Shore
cider
company,
which
makes
wine
which
is
not
created
in
the
same
way.
