B
C
D
E
Good
evening,
chair,
rainy
and
member
states,
tomek
public
works
director.
The
first
item
that
you
voted
on.
We
had
already
awarded
the
design
phase
to
CDM
and
there
were
changes
in
design
and
that's
what
we
call
a
change
order.
That's
what
you
proved
on
there
to
one.
The
second
one
is
now
we're
awarding
engineering
services
during
the
construction,
they'll
oversee
the
construction
part
of
it.
Both
of
those
projects
are
in
line
to
be
funded
by
an
IEP,
a
loan
for
the
loan
eligible
parts.
F
D
A
A
B
Thank
you
a
3.6.
This
is
the
purchase
order
for
suburban
tree
consortium,
trees
and
planting
services.
The
staff
recommends
the
city
council
authorized
the
city
manager
to
execute
a
purchase
order
for
the
purchase
of
213
trees
and
planning
services
of
a
hundred
trees
from
suburban
tree
could
sort
IAM
in
the
50
1686
dollar
sixty
cents.
The
funding
for
this
purchase
is
provided
from
two
sources:
verses
from
the
general
fund
on
the
Forestry
Division
in
the
forestry
division
budget.
B
The
second
source
is
from
the
replant
Express
program,
and
this
program
allows
residents
to
pay
250
or
$425
the
cost
of
a
2.5,
caliper
or
3.5
inch
tree
plus
delivery
to
be
added
to
our
planting
list
immediately,
rather
than
waiting
the
two
years.
It
typically
takes
for
a
replacement
tree,
so
there
are
15
additional
trees
being
planted
through
this
program
this
year.
So.
A
B
F
B
C
This
is
to
provide
testing
materials
for
various
city
construction
projects
in
the
amount.
Let's
see
after
the
water
in
water
fund
is
27
thousand
dollars
in
the
amount
of
five
thousand
dollars
from
the
mft
fun
from
federal
funds,
nine
thousand
dollars
and
from
the
parking
fund,
seventeen
thousand
dollars.
A
D
A
So
we're
going
to
hold
3.8
till
the
end
of
the
meeting.
A
3.9
is
a
contract
with
all
town
bus
services
for
the
2016
Summer
bus
transportation
program.
In
the
amount
of
fifty
thousand
eight
hundred
thirty-eight
dollars,
all
town
was
the
lowest
responsive
and
responsible
bidder,
and
the
payments
will
be
made
out
of
the
various
programs
that
will
be
served
by
the
buses.
Second,.
C
A
F
B

agreement
for
the
summer
food
program
service
with
open

the
amount
of

dollars:
33
cents
per
lunch.
This
is
a
reimbursement
program
in
which
the
total
amount
of
the
city
receives
is
dependent
upon
the
number
of
meals
served
and
the
level
of
participation.
F
C
Three
point:

contract
with
brush
truck
center
of
northern
illinois
for
the
purchase
of
an
international
harvester
truck
with
an
aerial
bucket
device.
The
staff
recommends
we
approved
this
purchase
for
the
public
work
to
agency.
The
amount
is
74
thousand
two
hundred
seventy
seven
dollars.
Second,.
C
B
C
I
had
an
interesting
email
or
I
guess
we
all
did
today
about
liking
that
our
staff
had
signed
a
nice
website
themselves.
I
thought
was
a
nice
compliment
from
one
of
the
residents
in
questioning
why
we
were
going
for
an
outside
source
to
do
it.
A
H
Good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
Erica
sterling
deputy
city
manager
and
administrative
services
director,
thank
you
for
the
compliment.
Staff
in
conjunction
with
a
vendor
did
design
the
current
website
in
2010
at
a
cost
of
twenty
thousand
dollars,
but
that
website
is
now
kind
of
outlived
its
usefulness
in
terms
of
the
way
that
the
content
in
it
is
managed-
and
that's
really
the
most
important
part
about
why
we're
going
forward
with
this
contract
at
this
time
and
also
because
the
nature
of
how
people
view
websites
has
changed,
and
we
have
now.
H
You
know
more
than
fifty
percent
of
people
looking
at
our
website
on
a
mobile
device
and
our
website
doesn't
play
nicely
with
those
devices.
So
the
third
reason
that's
also
really
important-
is
that
the
hosting
of
this
website
is
now
going
to
be
hosted
with
the
vendor
versus
hosted
in
house
and,
as
also
has
changed
and
over
the
last
six
years.
A
lot
of
communities
are
victims
of
hacking.
H
F
H
A
H
Move
forward
with
the
progress
or
process,
we
will
be
looking
for
people
to
help
with
design
and
iterations,
and
things
like
that,
so
it'll
be
a
involved
process.
So
I
don't
know
that
the
design
will
change
significantly,
but
we
know
people
are
happy
with
the
current
website.
So
I'm
sure
that
those
design
ideas
will
be
put
into
britain
at
the
next
recommendation
for
the
website.
It.
A
Was
interesting
the
other
night
at
a
committee
meeting
staff
was
telling
the
committee
about
some
of
these
fabulous
things
that
were
on
the
website
and
it
was
about
landlords
and
landlords
were
sitting
there
and
they
they
they
didn't
know
about
it.
So
then
we
tried
to
find
it
with
staff
present
and
it
was
hard
to
find
so
maybe
those
kinds
of
things
can
be
cleared
up
absolutely
yeah.
Thank.
B
You
I
do.
I
do
hope
that
I
do
there.
I
have
seen
some
websites
of
some
organizations
or
institutions
that
change
to
mobile
to
the
mobile
form,
and
sometimes
the
mobile
form
is
a
little
too
streamlined.
So
I
think
that
that's
something
to
keep
in
mind
because
I
do.
I
do
think
that
sometimes
they've
gone
a
little
bit
too
far
and
made
it,
and
it
is
actually
a
little
bit
more
difficult
unless
you're
very
familiar
with
the
site.
Yeah.
H
Be
a
challenge
that
we
will
embrace
to
try
to.
You
know
still
get
the
information
that
we
want
to
get
out
to
the
public
with
all
the
various
events
and
meetings,
and
things
like
that,
while
also
trying
to
have
it
fit
better
with
those
mobile
devices.
It's
a
happy
medium
to
try
to
strike
that
balance,
but.
H
Of
them
have
what
you
would
see
towards
the
end
of
the
page,
which
is
a
like
a
link
that
says
click
here
to
go
to
the
full
version,
yeah
right.
So
if
you
still
wanted
to
view
the
regular
version
of
the
website
on
your
mobile
device,
you
could,
by
doing
your
pinch
and
zoom,
or
you
know
things
like
that.
Yeah.
A
A
Do
this
ok
resolution
36
are
16
authorizing
lease
amendment
with
stray
dog
bitter
company
for
rehearsal
and
office
space
at
six
thirty,
three
Howard
this
would
be
a
temporary
eight
month
lease
18
month
lease
and
the
monthly
rent
would
be
twelve
hundred
dollars
to
the
first
of
the
month.
Of
course.
Okay.
Second.
A
C
B
A
A
D
D
B
C
A
D
G
Evening
man
and
share
a
concern
member,
yes,
my
name
is
Marie
fig
ow.
It's
regarding
the
taxi
that
I
did
send
an
email
to
all
of
you
and
explaining
our
issue
or
problem
with
the
taxi.
So
we
know
now
it's
time
for
the
regulation
and
everything
up
to
the
legal
it,
but
we
are
seeing
when
you
taking
out
click
on
consideration
or
first
did.
G
First,
four
for
the
chauffeur
license
city
of
events
on
require:
you
are
to
be
21
years
old
and
older
to
drive
a
taxi
and
city
of
events
on
require
that
you
got
a
background
check
three
days
classes:
medical
check-up,
which
is
physical,
MV,
r
and
r
2
picture
and
our
fees.
So
we
axing
the
city
if
they
can
modify
modified
for
us,
because
right
now
the
delegation
is
like
the
other
party
doesn't
have
to
knit
doesn't
hurt,
doesn't
require
to
do
anything
to
drive
an
events
on.
G
While
we
require
to
to
do
all
this
and
now
relaxing
the
city,
if
they
can
modify
it,
eliminate
the
twitters
classes
and
if
they
can
issue
the
driver,
a
temporary
class,
a
temporary
our
chauffeur
license,
so
they
can
go
ahead
and
have
they
can
have
a
because
when
you
come
in
to
drive-
and
they
don't
have
enough
people
to
do
the
class,
so
you
gotta
go
with
until
there
is
enough
people.
So
we
access
city.
G
If
the
medical,
physical,
you
have
to
go
to
the
doctor
to
do
physical,
I,
don't
see
why
you
know,
and
also
the
class
is
not
a
GPS.
So
this
is
a
thanks
for
the
shoe
for
the
chauffeur
license
and
for
the
renewal
reacts
in
the
city
right
now
to
we
know
we
have
to
spend
four
hundred
fifty
dollars
from
january.
Second
to
februari,
15
and
Fabio
is
16
to
we
pay
twenty
two
hundred
fifty
dollars,
but
from
Fabio
is
16
22
april
we
have
to
pay
413
balance,
which
is
163
dollars.
G
G
G
If
you
put
a
2010
out
by
the
time
you
you
you
dress
of
the
car,
you
put,
you
paint
the
car,
you
put
a
four
thousand
dollar
liability
insurance
on
it
and
the
city's
the
safety,
because
the
car
have
to
go
to
a
garage
for
safety,
thats,
that's
what
required
by
the
law
and
we
have
to
get
a
top
light
for
one
hundred
dollar
and
we
pay
every
month
from
350
to
605
to
accompany.
If
we
belong
to
a
company.
Now
we
ask
the
city
of
Evanston.
G
If
they
can
open
open
the
market,
let
people
go
on,
let
people
let
people
drive
like
you
can
go
as
a
as
an
independent
contractor.
So
if
you
have
your
medallion
you,
because
not
everybody
has
the
money
every
month
to
pay
the
company,
so
we
asked
if
they
can.
Let
us
go
as
an
independent
contractor,
so
people
will
get
their
car,
they
will
come
to.
The
city
can
set
up
a
color
and
see
if
you
are
independent
contractor.
This
is
the
color.
You
have
to
get.
Also
everybody
before
you
put
your
car.
G
How
would
you
always
come
to
mr.
mr.
Sullivan
for
him
to
expect
the
car?
So
so,
when
you
take
the
decision,
take
all
this
and
consideration
because,
right
now
it
doesn't
balance
when
you
look
at
the
other
party.
The
other
party
is
here
and
we
here,
but
our
expense
goes
down,
and
then
I
mean
it's.
It's
really
dang
balance,
so
please
take
it
on
consideration,
focus
especially
for
the
win
y'all.
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
A
G
F
D
D
I
Madam
chairman,
members
of
the
committee
grant
for
our
corporation
counsel,
the
assistant
city
manager
and
mr.
Munzer
indeed
correct,
following
direction
received
at
the
prior
city
council
meeting
staff
convened
a
meeting
with
approximately
29
stakeholders
in
the
local
taxi
business,
and
that
meeting
was
convened
in
the
parasol
room
on
May
5th.
I
That
meeting
was
substantially
moderated
by
ms
nap
and
Mr
O'sullivan,
who
are
here
to
further
amplify
what
was
discussed
at
that
meeting
and
respond
to
questions
that
this
committee
may
have,
in
a
nutshell,
with
respect
to
the
concerns
that
have
been
expressed
in
this
been
in
this
forum.
Those
same
concerns
were
expressed
at
that
meeting,
namely
that
the
taxi
companies
are
of
the
view
and
the
hope
that
some
of
the
regulations
with
respect
to
their
business
model
may
be
revised
in
some
cases
reduced
and
or
eliminated.
I
There
is
a
significant
amount
of
concern
over
the
renewal
fees
with
respect
to
the
renewal
fees
going
forward
pursuant
to
direction
as
we've
outlined
in
the
staff
memorandum
staff
has
followed
the
moratorium,
the
direction
to
to
institute
a
moratorium
with
respect
to
whether
or
not
a
cab
license
a
medallion
becomes
inactive
upon
non-payment
of
the
renewal
we
with
staff
is
not
currently
proceeding
with
any
non
renewals
or
or
auctioning
off
of
medallions.
So
that
is
one
step
that
staff
is
taken
pursuant
to
direction
with
respect
to
the
larger
global
issues
involved.
I
That
is
why
we're
here
before
you,
since
he's
all
involved
matters
of
policy
in
a
more
global
sense
in
a
more
general
sense,
the
trend
towards
regulations
of
the
cab
industry
is
an
ongoing
interest
in
other
jurisdictions.
Some
cities
have
elected
to
relax
cab
restrictions.
Other
cities
have
maintained
a
status
quo.
Other
cities
have
focused
more
upon
the
ride-sharing.
I
Operations
such
as
uber
and
lyft,
and
so
really
what
it
becomes
a
question
for
this.
This
committee
in
this
and
the
City
Council
on
a
policy
perspective,
is
where
do
the
cab
regulations
go
forward
from
staffs
perspective,
we
see
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
perhaps
do's
and
or
revise
some
of
the
regulations
with
respect
to
vehicle
inspections.
There's
a
comprehensive
vehicle
inspection
protocol
that
is
maintained
and
implemented
by
the
state
of
Illinois.
So
there
are
some
redundancies
there
with
respect
to
cabs
in
terms
of
the
other
issues
relative
to
the
business
model.
I
Certainly,
the
advent
of
GPS,
the
advent
of
other
ride
geographical
systems
that
assist
operators
are
certainly
in
place.
So
a
lot
of
the
regulations
in
the
city
code,
relative
to
taxi
taxi
meters
and
and
other
items
of
that
ilk
certainly
could
benefit
from
perhaps
some
some
revision
and
or
elimination.
So
that's
sort
of
the
general
overview
where
we're
at
and
we're
asking
for
further
direction,
and
ms
nap
and
Mr
O'sullivan,
who
have
been
present
in
the
meeting
and
who
have
the
the
operational
aspects
well
in
hand,
are
certainly
available
to
answer
questions
and.
D
So
staff
is
definitely
not
recommending
and
relaxing
of
you
know
where
there's
no
regulation,
but
it
doesn't
mean
that
the
city
has
to
be
the
provider
of
the
inspection
or
the
provider
of
a
given
regulation.
We
still
want
safety
as
a
preeminent
concern,
but
there
are,
as
mr.
Ferrar
pointed
out,
newer
models
that
we
can
consider.
A
I
would
I'd
like
to
discuss
briefly
the
text,
the
operational
cost.
The
city
can't
do
anything
about
the
cost
to
purchase
it
at
secure.
We
can't
do
anything
about
the
costs
to
operate,
see
cab,
4,000
or
5,000
a
year.
We
can
do
something
about
the
next
three
items
and
I'm
wondering
why
do
we
have
to
issue
a
taxi
license
every
year?
What
I
mean?
Why
do
we
have
to
do
that?
A
A
F
A
I
A
C
A
F
A
Mine,
so
I
would
like
staff
to
know
I
think
that's
over
the
top
over
the
top
for
202
209,
and
then
we
discuss
here
the
administration
moratorium.
If
you
read
this,
it
says
that
they,
you
know
we're
holding
off
and
that
people
with
non
renewed
taxi
vehicle
licences
will
be
able
to
renew
their
licenses
at
any
time
paying
the
250
annual
renew
fee
and
vehicle
sticker
fee.
A
C
C
What's:
legal,
what's
safety,
you
know
that
kind
of
thing,
because
I
think
we
all
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
safe,
so
I
understand
that
if
you're,
if
you
have
to
go
to
the
state
of
Illinois
to
be
renewed,
then
it
doesn't
seem
to
me
we
ought
to
come
to
the
city
of
evenson
to
be
renewed
as
well
I
mean.
But
that's
just
me
as
a
layperson
saying
that
I
don't
know.
If
that's
maybe
we
have
other
regulations
that
the
state
doesn't
have.
So
that's
why
I
mean
they
have
to
come
here
once
a
year.
B
No,
I
agree
with
Oliver
Holmes
I
think
that
if
the
staff
could
come
back
to
us
with
a
recommendation
of
all
of
these
things,
I
agree
with
you
alderman
rainy.
Some
of
these
things
are
illogical,
but
if
they
could
come
back
to
us
with
what
they
think
would
make
things
more
of
a
level
playing
field,
that's
what
I'd
like
to
see.
J
Rainy
members
of
the
committee
good
evening,
we
certainly
can
do
that
alderman
win
again,
as
mr.
Farrar
mentioned
in
his
presentation.
This
is
all
a
creature
of
the
city
of
evanston
hand,
a
creature,
a
very
different
time,
almost
30
years
ago,
when
this
was
created.
So,
madam
chair,
with
a
direction
from
the
committee,
if
you'd
like
to
hold
this
item,
continue
hold
it
in
committee,
we
will
come
back
with
a
revised
ordinance.
My
guess
is
between
30
and
45
days
is
a
reasonable
time
frame.
J
So
that
would
include
I
think
the
full
gamut
of
what
has
been
discussed
here.
We
would
streamline
the
costs
associated.
We
would
look
to
the
state
of
Illinois
if
they
license
or
they
inspect,
that
we
would
support
that
and
not
have
to
duplicate
that.
So
I
think
the
discussion
has
been
pretty
clear
from
my
perspective
as
to
what
you're
looking
to
do.
We
just
need
to
go
back
and
put
that
into
an
ordinance
and
come
back
to
you
so
and
then
I
think
alderman
Rainey's
point
regarding
of
the
collection
of
any
late
fees.
J
I
think
we
can
suspend
all
of
that
for
now
with
the
hope
that
we
would
get
this
all
organized,
but
I
think
we'd
also
will
be
challenged
with
an
effective
date
so
that
you
know
we
deal
with
this
on
an
annual
basis,
we're
now
what
at
the
middle
of
early
May
middle
of
May,
I
think
of
july.
One
effective
date
would
be
a
great
goal.
That's
in
that
45
day
time
frame.
So
I
think
if
we
needed
to
prorate
a
fee,
make
it
half
a
year
or
whatever.
J
G
J
And
and
and
thanks
to
Mr
O'sullivan
and
mr.
munzer
and
the
snap
they've
done
a
great
job
and
I
think,
we've
tried,
as
your
city
staff,
to
look
at
this
in
a
more
holistic
way
and
we're
dealing
with
transportation
and
mobility
all
together
now,
and
certainly
the
regulation
of
taxis
and
shared
ride
services
fit
into
all
that.
So
certainly
by
not
going
through
each
point
of
the
memo
does
not
take
away
from
the
fine
staff
work.
J
J
No
later
than
the
jun
27th
meeting,
that
would
be
roughly
the
45
days.
If
we
can
do
it
on,
we
can
do
it
on
the
13th
or
the
20th.
We
will
shoot
for
that,
though.
We
are
going
to
have
a
13th
meeting
a
third
monday
meeting
on
june
thirteenth.
It's
going
to
be
pretty
heavy
agenda,
so
we
can
do
that
the
following
week,
we'll
see
for
that.
C
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
Thank
you.
Next
Robin
Hershey
next
discussion
item
is
our
ally,
paving
problem.
K
Our
alley
is,
is
not
paved
and
two
or
three
times
a
year.
They
come
through
with
these
graters
like
big
rakes
and
you're,
probably
familiar
with
that
and
great
the
alleys,
but
they
almost
immediately
become
filled
with
ruts,
again
and
puddles,
and
they
flood,
and
recently
one
of
my
neighbors
has
started
a
drive
to
get
the
nape
all
the
neighbors
to
participate
in
getting
the
alley
paved
and
he
originally
was
told
it
would
be
done
in
2017
for
cost
of
between
2,000
and
5,000
per
household
that
borders.
K
The
yeah
our
ally,
is
also
the
north
side
of
Simpson
and
the
west
side
of
Pioneer
and
the
east
side
of
McDaniel.
So
it's
a
fairly
large
ally,
but
then
more
recently
we
still
know
it
would
be
budgeted
in
2017
for
2,000
in
2018,
and
now
we're
told
that
that
isn't
even
the
case
anymore.
It
probably
would
not
be
paved
till
2020
and
some
of
us
are
kind
of
old.
K
We
might
not
make
it
told
man
but
seriously
and
that
the
cost
would
be
more
like
9600
per
household,
which
was
quite
a
jump,
but
that
we
wouldn't
know
until
the
job
was
actually
bid
put
out
for
four
bids.
So
mainly
what
I'm
here
tonight
is
to
ask
if
they
could
release
the
funding
earlier
so
that
it
we
do
go
through
it,
that
we
wouldn't
have
to
wait
till
2020
to
have
it
done.
K
In
fact,
recently,
there's
been
quite
a
bit
of
construction
on,
particularly
on
Simpson
and
the
truck
traffic
through
the
alley
has
just
really
torn
it
up.
They,
they
did
do
some
repairs
of
it,
and
it
is
a
lot
nicer
at
the
moment,
but
we
would
still
like
to
have
it
paved,
and
we
would
hope
that
the
costs
could
be
closer
to
the
original
estimate
possible.
A
A
A
K
D
A
D
D
A
D
That's
what
I
wanted
to
point
out
so
then,
and
it's
it
that
can't
happen.
We
also
have
those
that
are
accepted
and
then
are
pulled
back.
You
can
have
an
accepted
petition
that
at
the
public
hearing
somebody
changes
their
vote
when
they
finally
have
the
entire
cost
estimate.
So
it
is
a
long
process,
meaning
that
it's
very
inclusive
with
all
residents
that
that
are
interested,
not
all
residents,
are
sometimes
contacted
during
the
Shin
phase.
D
You,
our
ordinance
reads
that
once
you
get
to
51-percent,
you
can
stop
asking
so
once
half
are
agreed
and
then
those
that
are
not
agreed
show
up
at
the
public
hearing,
so
it
is
a
multi-step
process.
But
what
are
what
our
resin
is
pointed
out
tonight
it
is
is
that
we
have
a
lot
of
interest.
We've
noticed
that
costs
are
going
up
to
do
the
alleys
and
our
budget
has
was
increased
four
or
five
years
ago,
and
it's
not
enough
and
that's
the
purpose
of
tonight's
discussion.
D
So
through
your
appointment
regarding
releasing
funds,
there
are
no
funds
to
be
released.
If
you
will
it's,
how
much
can
the
city
of
Ford
each
year
and
one
of
the
discussion
points
tonight-
is
to
look
at
other
revenue
sources
for
the
city
side
of
the
fifty
percent,
because
residents
are
coming
forward
and
saying
we're
ready
with
our
fifty
percent?
Can
you
are
you
ready
to
match,
and
so
our
discussion
point
tonight
is
to
look
at
those
options
for
other
ways
to
fund
the
city
side.
Okay,.
D
A
A
D
D
C
I
believe
I'm
correcting
that,
because
we've
had
to
wait
for
lots
of
alleys
in
my
ward
and
you
just
have
to
wait
your
turn
and
sometimes
the
prices
go
up
because
please
go
up
in
terms
of
materials
and
that
kind
of
thing.
So
that's
probably
what
you
know
what
may
be
happening
with
that,
but
I
don't
know
how
did
be
getting
a
cost
in
and
not
engineer,
estimate
at.
A
D
We
do
provide
an
estimate
at
the
beginning
and
then
there's
a
process
and
we're
happy
to
will
appoint
folks
to
where
we
at
one
point
we
do
lock
the
price
to
the
resident.
So
quite
often,
if
it's
a
period
of
raising
of
rising
prices,
the
president
gets
locked
at
a
certain
rate
and
if
the
bids
come
in
higher,
then
there's
potential
or
there's
additional
cost.
The
city
just
pays
the
higher
dollar
amount,
because
we
are
encouraging
people
to
to
do
their
alleys,
so
Miss.
A
A
A
L
Chair
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
Laura
bigs
on
the
bureau
chief
of
capital
planning
and
I
want
to
talk
really
quickly,
although
I
think
we've
covered
quite
a
lot
of
it
about
the
process
by
which
the
50-50
program
works.
So
the
city
participates
in
a
50-percent
cost
share
with
the
residents.
The
residents
request
a
petition
and
if
they
get
at
least
fifty
percent
of
their
neighbors,
to
sign
an
approval
of
doing
the
alley,
then
the
cost.
L
The
petition
goes
back
to
the
board
of
local
improvements,
which
then
votes
on
whether
to
accept
the
partition
or
not.
Usually,
if
the
petition
has
been
successfully
signed,
the
petition
is
accepted
and
then
the
alleys
put
on
the
schedule
for
construction
and
the
costs
are
done
via
special
assessment
process
to
the
property.
So
now,
looking
at
our
current
alley
backlog,
this
is
a
list
of
all
the
alleys
that
are
sort
of
on
our
radar
that
are
in
the
present
guarantee
that
they
are
going
forward
via
the
resident
approval
process.
L
So
these
first
six
alleys,
we've
gotten
the
petitions
in
we've
accepted
them
by
bli,
so
they
came
back
with
more
than
fifty
percent
of
the
yes
signatures
and
the
bli
voted
to
accept
it.
The
next
two
are
the
same,
but
they've
come
in
very
recently,
and
so
the
bli
just
hasn't
had
the
chance
to
accept
the
petition.
L
Then
we
have
to
alleys
that
northwestern
university
has
proposed
to
pay
the
residents
share
of
the
cost
of
the
alleys,
but
that
still
leaves
the
city
to
pay
the
city
share
of
the
costs,
the
alleys
and
then.
Finally,
there
are
two
planned
unit
development
where,
by
resolution,
the
the
PUD
is
paying
a
portion
of
the
cost.
But
again
the
city
is
also
financing
a
portion
of
the
cost
of
the
alley.
L
So
currently
the
city
is
budgeting
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
for
Ally
improvements,
and
when
you
look
at
the
time
table
in
the
last
column,
just
doing
some
simple
math
it
just
lengthens
out
the
schedule.
The
northwestern
ones
came
up
very
very
recently,
so
they
haven't
had
an
opportunity
to
be
scheduled
and
then
the
pud
ones.
We
can't
do
the
alleys
until
the
project's
finish,
so
they
weren't
on
the
schedule
yet
either.
L
Although
1515
Chicago
is
going
to
be
complete
pretty
quickly
here
so
right
now
we're
just
looking
at
this
eight-year
backlog
and
I.
Think
alderman
Holmes
pointed
it
out
very
clearly
that
why
are
we
having
this
problem
now?
It's
because
for
years
it
was
hard
to
get
the
successful
petition
process
done.
Residents
just
didn't
want
to
enter
into
these
financial
commitments,
and
now
this
program
is
just
radically
increased
in
popularity
and
so
we're
at
a
different
set
of
challenges
now,
so
this
map
actually
kind
of
shows
that
everything
is
geographically
dispersed.
L
This
isn't
a
single
Ward
problem
and
there's
a
few
additional
categories
of
alleys.
The
ones
that
are
in
this
blue
color
here
are
actually
active,
Ally
petitions
where
the
petitions
were
issued,
but
we
haven't
even
gotten
them
back
yet
and
so
I
haven't
accounted
for
that
and
I
ate
your
backlog.
Discussion
there's
also
some
alleys.
The
colors
are
kind
of
weird
here,
but
it
shows
better
on
the
internet
that
are
in
brown,
and
these
are
where
people
have
come
and
requested
a
petition.
We
have
six
people
that
are
on
waitlist.
L
We
aren't
issuing
petitions
anymore
because
there's
no
guarantee
that
by
the
time
they
got
on
the
list
that
the
same
properties,
the
owners
would
be
the
same
as
we
work
through
the
backlog
and
then
finally,
there
is
occasionally
CDBG
funding.
But
again
that
usually
pays
for
a
portion
of
the
residents
share.
It
doesn't
pay
for
the
city
share
of
the
alley.
Construction.
L
So,
just
presenting
you
with
a
few
options
of
things
that
we
could
do
to
address
this
problem
because
we
are
getting
some
complaints
from
residents
about
it
one
we
could
just
maintain
our
current
level
of
ally,
funding
and
work
through
the
backlog.
That
does
mean
that
we
are
going
to
have
to
issue
a
moratorium
for
a
while
on
doing
the
new
ally
petitions
and
people
will
need
to
wait
a
while,
even
if
they
do
have
a
successful
petition
process
number
two.
We
could
increase
the
annual
funding
level
for
Ally
improvements.
L
However,
generally
there's
been
a
we're
set
at
a
certain
level
for
the
amount
of
general
obligation,
bonds
that
are
issued
for
capital
program
for
streets
and
transportation
projects.
That's
round
5.1
million
dollars
this
year.
If
you
were
to
take
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
hold
the
level
constant,
then
that's
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
would
be
taken
out
of
another
CIP
project
or
program.
For
so
that
would
be
a
significant
cut
somewhere
else
option.
Three:
we
could
use
one-time
revenue
sources.
L
A
D
We're
actually
referring
to
is
we've
had
payment
in
lieu
of
taxes,
which
was
truly
for
a
not-for-profit,
which
the
city
has
really
curtailed.
That
happened
in
in
between
2010
and
2013,
but
I'll
give
you
another
example
of
a
payment-in-lieu-of-taxes
that
is
the
the
walkway
over
central.
That
is
a
we
call
it
a
payment-in-lieu-of-taxes,
but
it's
an
easement
fee
and
so
we're
looking
at
utilizing.
Potentially
easement
fees
as
one
source.
A
L
D
L
D
B
Yes,
Laura,
can
you
tell
us
if
this
is
probably
a
much
smaller
number
than
I'm
hoping
it
is?
So
if
we
paved
five
more
allies
a
year,
how
much
would
we
save
and
not
having
to
maintain
those
alleys
I
mean
if,
let's
say
you
know,
with
each
alley
that
comes
that
we
pave?
How
much
do
we
save
and
maintenance
costs
of
regrading
and
regrading?
Is
there
a
way
to
calculate
that
there.
L
Is
a
way
to
calculate
it?
I
don't
have
that
information,
but
I
can
certainly
do
a
calculation,
but
it's
probably
not
nearly
as
big
as
I,
no
I'm,
all
over
the
lifetime
of
the
alley.
I
think
it
does
become
significant.
We
estimate
the
life
of
an
alley.
That's
been
improved
at
75
years,
so
75
years
of
regrading,
when
right
now,
I
think
we're
planning
this
year
to
try
to
regrade
22.
Is
it
four
times
this
year
per
alley?
D
A
follow-on
on
that,
though,
the
the
idea-
and
that
is
you-
would
have
to
reduce
the
operating
costs
by
that
amount
and
send
it
to
the
capital
fund
to
do
this,
so
those
staff
can't
be
retasked
to
do
something
else.
They
have
to
the
hours
have
to
go
away
and
the
road
grader
has
to
go
away
for
there
to
be
a
real
savings
that
could
then
be
put
towards
the
brick
and
mortar
of
new
alleys,
so
not
to
say
that
we
wouldn't
look
at
that.
D
Don't
know
that
it
has
to
be
everything
at
once.
For
instance,
we're
at
the
40
mile
mark
we're
only
halfway
if
we
only
had
to
go
a
lesser
distance,
if
you
will,
because
we
were
I
shouldn't
say
if
we
didn't
have
to
do
as
many
alleys
for
Road
grading,
the
crew
is
how
many
people
are
on
Rogue
on
the
alley
paving
crew
approximately.
E
E
A
I
think
the
thing
we
really
ought
to
spend
time
on
as
a
way
to
do
this
differently.
In
other
words,
instead
of
a
six
hundred
thousand
dollar
alley,
we
should
figure
out
a
way
to
do
a
fifty-thousand-dollar
alley,
and
maybe
we
don't
and
I
know
there
are.
There
are
lots
that
are
filled
with
water
garages
that
are
being
washed
away
by
flooding
in
the
alleys.
There's
got
to
be
and
I
think
there
must
be
another
way.
A
Not
every
single
community
in
the
whole
world
paves
their
alley
like
we
do
and
I
know,
we've
tried
different
ways
of
grading,
more
intense
grading
with
more
intense
I
know
packing
and
the
use
of
recycled
asphalt,
and
all
of
that
I
just
think
we're
going
to
have
to
try
it
at
some
point,
because
I
mean
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
pay
Vaneli,
that's
a
lot.
It.
A
L
So
we
could
certainly
look
at
other
options
that
are
being
used
in
other
places
for
doing
Ali,
grading
or
alley
pavement
and
improvement,
but
I
know
that
there
have
been
less
expensive
going
through
and
just
doing
a
real
brief
asphalt
overlay
over
an
alley
in
wilmette
in
other
places,
and
those
communities
generally
turned
away
from
doing
that,
because
the
alleys
don't
last
a
significant
reason
why
a
lot
of
people
choose
to
enter
into
the
alley
improvement
program
is
because
of
drainage
issues.
I've
argued
that
with
people
about.
L
D
Madam
Jared
am
sorry
Feldman.
Do
you
have
your
lado,
no
alderman
I
would
just
to
finalize
direction.
Is
there
no
desire
of
the
our
bureau
chief
is
not
advocating
for
revenue.
Your
CFO
always
advocates
for
ongoing
revenue
for
our
capital
program
to
to
continue
to
try
and
replace
yet
so
in.
Looking
at
the
this,
what
you
have
up
there,
it
was
a
150
thousand
dollars
will
cut
our
backlog
by
twenty
five
percent.
D
The
please
realize
that
when
ms
big
said
that
we're
going
up
to
a
million
dollars,
that
means
the
city's
portion
is
500,000
and
the
resonance
portion
is
500,000
and
we're
doing
a
million
dollars
worth
of
alley.
So
a
1,
a
1
percent
I'm.
Sorry,
it's
not
one
percent.
It
should
be
one
penny.
It
was
my
mistake.
One
penny
increase
to
the
gasoline
tax,
for
instance
that
150,000
would
make
a
difference,
but
it
has
its
own
issues
with
development
and
keeping
gas
stations
in
town,
not.
A
D
B
A
B
Know
right
by
any
certain
right
and
you
can
/
dick
looking
at
well,
we
can't
predict
that
we're
gonna
have
more
that's
what
I
mean
and
if
we
looked
at
the
one-time
permit
revenue
that
we
would
get
that
we
get
some
some
of
those
in
from
the
occasionally
when
northwestern
builds,
a
building.
Yeah.
B
B
But
then
they
argument,
then
alderman
Rainey
would
be
that
we
use
some
of
that.
Then,
because
that's
a
reliable
source
of
funding
for
I.
You
know,
I
I,
do
think
that
I
that
I
think
that
having
paved
alleys
improves
the
overall
value
of
the
entire
city
for
everyone,
and
it
does
improve
the
property
value
for
everyone
who's
on
that
alley
and
by
having
a
better
property
value
that
improves
the
tax
base
for
everyone
in
the
city
of
Evanston.
So
it
isn't
just
that.
B
The
folks
who
I
I
mean
I
think
it
is
really
a
shared
value
that
we
have
as
many
alleys
paved
as
possible
in
the
city
of
Evanston
and
I
understand
that
people
really
would
like
to
get
them.
Pave
did
not
have
to
wait
eight
years
because
the
costs
are
going
to
continue
to
go
up,
so
they
want
to
to
pay
them
now.
I
think
it's
a
really
difficult
dilemma
that
we're
in
because
we
don't
want
to
have
to
raise
taxes
in
order
to
do
that,
I
mean
if
we
raised
the
gas
tax
a
penny.
B
D
Madam
chair,
what
I
would
suggest
I,
given
the
input
it
is
a.
This
is
a
long-term
problem.
We
are
we.
The
board
of
local
improvements
was
faced
with
it
in
the
last
two
months,
and
we
know
that
you're
that
the
constituents
were
coming
forth
and
saying.
There's
this
issue.
We
would
like
to
bring
it
back
as
a
part
of
the
2017
budget
process.
To
say
here
are
several
solutions,
because
at
that
point
in
time,
we'll
be
talking
about
all
the
capital
funding
and
give
it
a
fair
shake.
D
If
there
was
any
desire
to
do
anything
quickly,
we
wanted
to
give
you
the
facts
and
figures
on
what
that
might
be,
but
failing
that
we
know
that
we
won't
address
the
the
backlog
in
the
next
six
months,
but
we
would
like
to
look
at
long-term
solutions
and
we
could
do
that
either
during
the
fall
capital
review
when
we're
looking
at
all
capital
projects.
Well,.
B
And
then
the
other
issue
that
we
also
have
that's
coming
up
on
the
table
is
right
now
northwestern
is
is,
has
the
is
willing
to
pay
the
residents
portion,
42,
different
alleys,
and
so
that's
I
mean
there's,
there's
a
bump
up
and
are
in
the
ability
to
get
two
more
alleys
done.
So
we
have
to
assess
how
do
we
factor
that
into
the
mix
a.
B
A
B
A
I
think
I
feel
that
I'm
even
on
the
list
there
it
petitions
out,
I'm
sure
you
have
him
up
there
on
that
yeah
so
I
mean
there's
and
the
lady
who
came
tonight
who
says
she's
already
got
a
petition
rights
not
to
2020.
Yes,
I
can't
imagine
when
these
are
going
to
be
there.
They
haven't
even
been
presented
yet.
B
F
F
D
Was
a
that
we're
pushing
it
down
the
road,
but
budget
starts
in
four
months.
We
have
sufficient
funds.
We
have
more
alleys
right
now
than
we
could
construct
for
the
next
year,
so
we're
not
telling
anyone
that,
because
you're
not
making
a
decision
tonight
that
their
push
off
further.
We
wanted
to
bring
this
to
you
now.
So
we're
not.
If
we
decide
in
calendar
year
2016
to
do
what
we're
going
to
do.
Nobody
would
have
gotten
going
any
sooner
than
if
we
decided
tonight
well.
