From YouTube: Participatory Budgeting Committee - Feb. 17, 2022
Description
This video is the first meeting of the Participatory Budgeting Committee.
A
Councilmember
newsman
we
just
introduced
our
guest
taya
crum
as
well
as
torrance
terence
from
maria
haddin's
office,
will
be
here
as
well.
So
first,
you
know,
we,
I
think,
are
all
generally
familiar
with
participatory
budgeting
here
in
this
on
this
call,
so
I'll
turn
over
to
taya.
To
maybe
talk
a
bit
about
your
work
and
give
us
share
some
insight
and
matthew.
I
don't
know
if
you
have.
I
know
you've
also
done
some
pb.
C
D
C
C
So
how
does
pb
work
well,
pb
is
typically
an
annual
cycle,
and
the
first
year
is
usually
a
lot
of
time
is
spent
really
designing
the
process
and
I'll
get
it.
I
have
another
slide
that
dives
into
that
in
a
little
bit
more
deep,
deeper
detail,
but
every
year
you
revisit
the
design
of
the
process
so
that
you
learn
from
the
lessons
of
the
previous
year
and
you
tweak
it
and
improve
it.
But
the
first
phase
of
the
process
really
begins
with
thinking
through.
C
How
do
we
customize
this
basic
framework
to
meet
our
unique
community,
and
then
you
move
on
to
idea
collection,
and
that
is
where
you
really
spend
some
time.
Educating
the
residents
and
the
people
who
were
will
participate
on
what
is
pb
and
what
is
the
pot
of
money
that
you're
using?
How
can
it
be
spent?
C
What
are
the
rules
and
restrictions
around
that
money
and
then
really
spending
doing
some
needs
assessment,
as
well
as
gathering
ideas
from
residents?
The
next
phase
is
proposal,
development.
Where
then,
residents
typically
spend
some
time
developing
these
project
proposals
narrowing
down
ideas
and
really
fleshing
those
projects
out
with
the
assistance
of
experts
from
the
city
and
developing
full
project
proposals
that
then
go
on
to
a
public
vote?
And
then
the
last
phase
is
implementation
and
monitoring
which
can
take
anywhere
from
a
few
months
to
years
depending
upon
the
projects.
C
C
They
really
depend
the
impacts
that
you
achieve
depend
upon.
You
know
who's
involved,
so
developing
a
steering
committee,
an
advisory
committee
and
who
sits
around
that
committee
can
help
determine
on
whether
or
not
you
meet
the
impacts
and
the
goals
that
you've
decided
set
for
your
process,
and
so
there's
a
couple
examples.
So
if,
if
distributing
funds
more
equitably
is
one
of
your
goals,
setting
equity
criteria
during
the
proposal,
development
phase
is
really
a
way
to
enhance
that
goal.
D
Thanks
tayl,
for
that
I
appreciate
it.
This
is
councilmember
vern
speaking,
so
I
guess
around
the
equity
piece.
How
have
have
diverse
cities
if
cities
have
even
done
this,
because
I
know
this
can
happen
at
all
all
levels
of
you
know.
I
know
public
schools,
for
instance,
have
done
this
before
so,
but
assuming
some
some
cities
have
tackled
this.
C
I
think
one
of
the
key
ways
is
setting
equity
criteria,
for
which
proposals
make
it
onto
the
ballot,
and
so
you
know
that
can
include
you
know
everything
from
you
know
their
I've
seen
different
tools
come
out.
The
participatory
budgeting
project
has
one
tool:
that's
available
on
a
resource
library
through
people
powered
that
I'm
on
the
board
for
that's
available
for
download
I'd,
be
happy
to
send
it
to
you
and
it's
a
checklist
that
people
have
to
look
through.
C
You
can
create
your
own,
but
it's
thinking
through
things
like
what
is
the
need
that
this
project
is
addressing?
Where
is
the
project
located?
Which
communities
are?
Is
it
benefiting
so
thinking
through?
All
of
those
different
criteria,
in
terms
of
you
know
how
the
project
is
meeting
that
need
that's
one
of
the
ways
in
chicago.
D
Yeah
that
one
about
you
know
putting
two
parts
together,
instead
of
people
having
to
decide
between
a
park,
that's
closer
to
them,
that
they
utilize
more
often
in
a
park
that
they
do.
I
like
that
that
that
really,
that
really
gets
it
at
what
what
what
what
my
question
was.
Okay,
I
probably
have
a
few
other
things,
but
I'll
kick
it
back
to
either
mayor
bishop
or
councilman
reid.
D
F
A
Well,
actually,
yeah.
I
was
going
to
move
to
that
next
to
to
continue
to
frame
us
in
you
know,
really
figuring
out.
What
I
want
to
determine
here
is
is
this
something
we
can
do
internally
as
a
city
or
do
we
need
a
community
partner,
so
we
can
get
the
ball
rolling
on
having
staff
prepare
an
rfq
to
determine
you
know
exactly
who
that
partner
is
going
to
be.
D
G
F
Thank
you
guys,
sorry,
I'm
audio
only
so,
hopefully
the
presentation
will
be
available.
I
can
go
back
and
look
at
that
later,
but
I
just
have
some
great
practical
questions
and
if
there's
somebody
from
chicago
on
the
call
who
might
be
able
to
answer
this
that'd
be
great,
but
how
do
we
actually
have
the
community
members
vote?
F
E
A
It
could
be
online
if
we
so
chose
it
and
it
could
be
a
paper
ballot.
I
know
the
49th
ward
under
alderman
moore.
I
did
paper
ballots
and
you
know
they
allowed
anyone.
You
know
to
vote
that
was
over
the
age
of
I
believe
in
their
office.
They
did.
You
know,
16
some
offices,
let
folks
as
young
as
14
vote.
You
know
you
didn't
have
to
be
a
citizen
to
vote.
You
know
your
citizenship
status
was
not
a
barrier
to
voting,
but
yeah.
C
Yeah,
absolutely
that's
one
of
the
decisions
you'll
have
to
make
is
who
can
vote,
but
you
there's
a
number
of
ways
you
can
vote
paper
ballot
is
is
one
of
the
options
the
other
I've
seen
people
do.
Google
forms
stanford
has
a
crowd
sourcing
tool
that
they
often
make
available
for
free.
If
you
allow
them
to
conduct
a
research
survey
afterwards
and
it
it's
a
really
good
tool,
we've
used
it
that
you
can
do
for
virtual
voting.
There's
pb
platforms
for
a
first
year,
they're,
typically
kind
of
pricey.
C
C
You
can
have
those
are
the
the
main
ways
in
which
I've
seen
people
vote,
but
I
think,
having
I
would
say
best
practice
would
be
to
have
a
hybrid
option
where
you
could
do
paper
and
some
kind
of
online
voting
option
for
for
people
as
well.
We've
done,
we've
had
really
good
success
with
with
google
forms,
so
it
could
be
as
simple
as
that.
C
C
You
know
what
would
what
are
the
rules
for
for
voting
and
it
I've
seen
things
across
the
world
everything
from
in
paris.
They
did
your
honor
system,
you
literally
logged
into
a
platform
with
an
email
address,
and
you
could
vote
in
in
chicago
as
councilman
reed
said
it's
14
years
of
age
or
older,
and
you
live
in
the
ward
and
there's
a
list
of
evidence.
You
can
provide
everything
from
a
driver's
license
to
the
city
id
card
to
a
bill
that
has
your
address
on
it.
C
C
That's
a
great
question
so
logistically
the
way
that
it
worked
in
person
was
there
were
two
options
you
could
go
into
the
ward
office.
You
provide
your
name
address
and
you
there.
The
age
requirement
is
14
years
of
age
or
older,
and
so
you
could
provide
a
school
id
or
they
had
an
oath
form.
Where
you
could
say
I
swear.
C
I
live
in
the
49th
ward
and
I'm
14
years
of
age
or
older
and
you
sign,
and
then
you
could
vote
and
online.
It
was
a
similar
form
and
in
other
words
they
had
people
take
a
picture
if
it
was
online
and
they
would
have
to
email
that
in
it
would
be
verified
by
a
staff
person
and
then
they
would
be
sent
a
voter
code
and
in
person
they
would
have
to
show
proof
and
then
they
would
be
allowed
to
vote.
E
A
F
F
D
D
But
what
is
really
exciting
to
me
is
that
this
this
this
the
opportunity
to
set
something
up
at
a
community
center
or
where
we
can
bring
the
vote
to
people
as
opposed
to
having
them.
You
know
giving
them
a
having
a
space
where
they
go,
but
we
can
really
set
it
up
where
it's
convenient
for
them,
grocery
stores
or
whatever
it
is,
and
I
feel
like
if
we
work
with
somebody
that
has
created
tools.
That's
considered
the
needs
of
these
processes
that
that
that
might
be
a
really
good
opportunity
to
explore.
C
Well,
the
prices
really
vary
depending
upon
how
many
features
it
has
like.
I
mentioned
the
if
you
were
to
go
with.
If
you
wanted
something
just
for
the
vote,
and
you
were
interested
in
like
the
stanford
crowdsourcing
tool,
I've
worked
with
them
for
years.
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
connect
you
and
they
typically
don't.
C
We
did
that
we've
done
that
we've
had
tablets
and
taken
them
to
parks
and
had
people
vote
online
that
way
or
virtually
that
way
in
many
different
wards
over
the
years.
So
that's
that's
one
option:
that's
pretty
low
cost.
If
you
were
interested
in
developing
like
a
full
platform
where
people
could
submit
ideas,
they
could
track
how
those
ideas
moved
through
the
proposal.
Development
phase,
whether
or
not
they
were
selected
for
the
vote
and
then
had
a
ballot.
C
G
C
Well,
there's
there's
national
partners
there's
other
people
who,
I
think
you
know
would
would
want
to
try
it,
and
I
know
you've
got
you've,
got
a
lot
of
resources
in
northwestern
too.
So
I
think
it
would
again
kind
of
probably
vary
depending
upon
their.
You
know,
expertise
and
experience
and
probably
you'd
see
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
I
would
say
for
a
first
year,
maybe
30
to
75k
somewhere
in
that
neighborhood
for
and
then
you
might
want
to.
C
A
I
mean
that
sounds
pretty
reasonable
for
saying
that
we're
overall
going
to
need
to
spend
roughly
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to-
or
you
know,
to
administer
and
oversee
a
2.5
million
dollar
process
know
the
percentage
of
the
total.
You
know
the
2.5
million
again
mary
beth.
Maybe
you
can
do
that
faster
than
I
can,
but
you
know
that
sounds
fairly
reasonable.
D
C
So
and
that's
that
that's
less
expensive
in
terms
of
time
and
it's
less
time
consuming
than
having
residents
be
the
ones
who
are
developing
the
project
proposals,
but
residents
have
more
ownership
when
they're
the
ones
developing
project
proposals
and
they
develop
more
skills
and
they
there's
sometimes
a
greater
level
of
trust.
So
again,
it
kind
of
depends
on
what
you're
trying
to
accomplish.
D
Yeah,
no,
I
I
agree
councilman
reed.
I
think
that
it's
it's
reasonable
and
I
think
we're
also
having
other
conversations
or
we
you
know,
there's
community
advocates
who
have
talked
about
other
models
for
public
participation
that
are
that
will
require
much
more
structural
change
than
this,
and
so
I
think,
there's
a
way
if
that
doesn't
happen,
that
a
pb
could
happen
because
in
some
ways
it
gets
at
the
same
thing,
it
provides
a
different
way
for
people
to
actually
engage
and
participate
in
a
local
government.
A
D
E
E
A
G
A
A
E
A
F
A
F
E
E
A
Come
up
and
there's
typically
in
this
process,
a
feasibility
study,
you
know,
there's
you
know
an
assessment
from
staff
or
from
citizen
panels
or
you
know.
However,
again,
however,
we
designed
this
as
I
would
assess
the
feasibility
and
and
kind
of
move
projects
along,
and
so
I
think
it
could
be
as
low
as
100
or
it
could
be
as
high.
As
you
know,
a
million
dollars,
depending
on
our
guidelines.
F
Yeah
well,
let's
just
keep
in
mind
if
we're
accepting
projects
as
low
as
100,
we
could
have
500
projects
that
come
in,
and
you
know
the
staff
time
to
evaluate
those
projects,
and
you
know
verify
that
there
are
for
compliance
and
to
handle
the
reporting
pay
for
working
all
that
overhead
stuff.
You
know
it's,
it
may
make
sense
to
have
a
higher
bar
than
a
hundred
dollars.
D
A
E
E
E
D
D
So
the
money's
there,
so
it's
really
just
you
know,
I
don't
know
how
this
is
gonna
work,
but
bringing
a
recommendation
to
full
council
to
to
vote
on
at
some
point,
but
I'm
definitely
behind
everything.
I've
heard
today.
Obviously
we
have
to
figure
out
who
the
partner
is
and-
and
I
think,
if
we're
gonna
do
it,
we
should
do
it
right.
We
should
do
it
with
tech.
D
You
know
I'm
a
you
know
political
consultant
and
organizer,
and
I
can
tell
you
it
is
a
lot
easier
to
do
these
things
with
technology
to
support
it,
and
I
would
not
want
to
do
this
any
other
way.
I
think
it'll
be
a
really
good
investment
and
again,
I
do
think,
there's
a
role
for
pb
and
evanston
on
a
permanent
basis.
A
C
The
way
that
we
we've
typically
done,
it
has
tried
to
build
capacity
in
the
community
and
so
how?
If
you're
going
to
have
residents,
be
the
ones
who
create
the
project
proposals
we
train
them
or
or
you
know,
their
volunteer
leaders
from
the
advisory
committee
or
and
then
they
get
specialized
training
and
they
can
suggest
ideas
for
project
proposals,
but
they
can't
like
champion
them.
A
G
I
would
I
would
really
like
to
do
that,
because
I
think
it'd
be
important
to
see
what
we
got,
but
I
just
want
to
caution
that
we're
very
time
sensitive
and
we're
not
obviously
looking
at
a
lot
of
options
that
exist
anyhow.
So
I
think
we
might
want
to
ask
ourselves
the
question
whether
it's
sole
source
procurement
situation.
A
D
That
was
going
to
be
my
very
thought
one.
I
I
don't,
and
this
is
a
question
for
taylor,
how
many
partners
yeah
so
yeah.
I
agree.
I
think
we
should
just
you
know,
I'd
love
to
hear
who
tara
would
recommend,
but
yeah
just
see
who
that
per
that
organization
is
and
through
a
direct
negotiation
with
them.
C
B
C
I'd
have
to
take
a
take,
a
look
at
that
and
I'd
have
to
consult
with
my
my
director
for
a
couple
of
reasons.
We've
got
a
couple
pending
new
pending
contracts,
especially
if
we're
looking
at
a
a
june
of
this
year
timeline
if
it
was
a
june
of
next
year
timeline
that
might
be
a
little
a
little
different,
but
I
I'd
have
to
get
back
to
you.
A
A
A
A
All
right,
well,
I've
seen
no
further
questions
for
taya.
I
want
to
thank
you
very
much
for
the
insight
looking
forward
to
receiving.
I
think
you
said
you'd
be
able
to
share
a
few
resources
with
us.
The
the
presentation
we
gave
for
for
councilmember
nusma
can
take
a
look
at
it
and
you
know
maybe
the
press
performs
I
don't
know,
and
so
that's
extremely
helpful.
C
Oh,
thank
you
so
much
for
inviting
me.
It
was
a.
It
was
really.
It
was
an
honor
to
speak
with
all
of
you
today.
I
shared
the
presentation
with
matthew
and
I'll
also
send
along
the
link
to
the
digital
participation
guide,
so
that
you
all
have
that
at
your
fingertips
as
well.
I
don't
know
if
it
would
be
helpful,
but
there's
also
some
research
briefs
on
different
goals
and
findings
around
pb.
If
you're
interested,
I
can
share
those
as
well.

Well,
I
guess
I
guess
what
maybe
makes
sense
is
at
the
next
meeting.
Hopefully
we
have
a
partner,
a
potential
partner
engaged
and
we
should
maybe
let
them
tell
us
from
their
expertise
what
you
know.
Maybe
they
think
some
of
the
next
steps
should
be
so
maybe
getting
into
the
weeds
a
bit
more
once
we've
located
a
partner
makes
sense.
