A
A
The
February
13th
meeting
of
the
oven
city
council
will
come
to
order.
Will
the
clerk
please
take
the
role.
B
A
Here
we
have
a
Quorum
present
and
are
prepared
to
do
our
work
for
the
evening.
The
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
mayor's
public
announcements
and
proclamations,
and
we
are
joined
today
by
representatives
from
Evanston
on
it.
I
see
Pastor
Dillard
here
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
you
should
Evanston
own.
It
is
a
really
important
pillar
in
this
community.
A
It's
a
really
a
conglomeration
of
Faith
leaders
in
an
effort
to
support
our
youth
and
support
our
efforts
to
stop
violence
in
this
community
and
they've
been
a
really
critical
partner
every
year
they
engage
in
a
generous
act
to
support
the
city's
efforts
and
I
just
wanted
to
bring
Pastor
Dillard
forward.
If
you're
willing
to
say
a
few
words
about
the
work
you've
been
doing.
F
Good
evening,
mayor
biss
always
a
pleasure
to
the
alderman
of
the
ward
in
which
I
live
and
Lead
Alderman
Burns
and
to
the
entire
city
council.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
making
time
for
us
tonight,
I
am
Monte.
Dillard
I
serve
as
a
senior
pastor
of
the
First
Church
of
God
Christian,
Life
Center,
but
more
specifically
tonight
I
serve
as
the
chairperson
of
Evanston
on
it,
an
organization
comprised
of
clergy
and
community
members
from
the
fifth
and
second
Awards
tonight.
F
In
addition
to
our
presentation
at
first
like
to
read
a
letter
that
Evanston
on
it
would
like
submit
it
into
the
record
to
the
City
of
Evanston
city
council,
I
am
Pastor.
Monte,
LG,
Dillard
senior
and
I
currently
serve
as
a
chairperson
of
Evanston
on
it,
a
Christian
organization
comprised
of
pastors
and
community
members,
predominantly
from
the
fifth
and
second
Wards
for
nearly
one
decade.
F
As
we
have
had
opportunity
to
hear
the
presentation
of
plans
in
depth,
we
consider
it
our
responsibility
to
not
only
support
this
endeavor,
but
to
also
ensure
that
we
contribute
to
its
impact
that
it
will
have
on
the
community
in
which
we
serve.
It
is
our
unified
expectation
that
the
opportunities
that
this
rebuild
will
present
will
include
the
many
professionals
and
skilled
workers
that
are
a
part
of
our
community,
as
this
rebuild
will
serve
as
a
shining
example
of
the
amazing
prowess
that
our
city
holds.
F
We
want
to
lend
our
support,
as
decisions
are
made
to
ensure
Equitable
outcomes
for
all
those
in
our
city
and
for
our
community
to
have
significant
consideration
in
many
ways.
Our
decision
to
support
rebuild
Ryan
Field
is
a
way
in
which
we
can
stick
to
our
mission
of
owning
it.
In
conclusion,
we
Evanston
own.
F
It
will
let
it
be
known
that
we
are
offering
our
full
support
to
the
processes
associated
with
rebuild
Ryan
Field
and
are
in
great
expectation
of
its
impact
on
all
communities
in
the
City
of
Evanston,
particularly
the
communities
in
which
we,
as
an
organization,
serves
graciously
submitted.
Pastor
Monte,
LG
dealer
senior,
chairperson
of
Evanston,
on
it,
and
we'd
like
to
submit
a
copy
to
city
council
for
records
for
future
purposes.
F
A
D
F
F
It
will
lift
me
up
for
a
long
time
to
come.
Yeah
I'm,
prophetic,
Maybe
prophetic.
However,
we
are
here
primarily
on
tonight,
as
is
our
custom
of
Evanston
on
it
to
stand
here
in
the
month
of
February
annually
to
present
to
the
city
of
evanston's
Summer
Youth
Employment
Program,
our
annual
donation.
It
was
several
years
ago,
after
learning
that
our
city
was
in
a
season
of
making
tough
decisions,
that
included
some
budget
cuts
and
we
wanted
to
in
some
way
create
some
significant
impact
to
particularly
the
Summer
Youth
Employment
Program.
F
Our
donation
as
an
organization,
has
been
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
to
this
effort,
with
also
four
thousand
dollars
to
the
officer
and
gentlemen
program
tonight.
We
have
come
with
a
check
of
four
nine
thousand
dollars,
eight
thousand
of
which
will
go
to
the
city
of
Emerson,
Youth,
Employment
Program
and
one
thousand
to
be
earmarked
again
for
the
officer
and
a
gentleman
bringing
our
total
contributions
to
date
of
sixty
three
thousand
to
the
Summer
Youth,
Employment
Program
and
five
thousand
to
Officer
and
a
Gentleman.
F
It
is
our
distinct
pleasure
to
continue
to
do
this,
and
it
is
our
hope
that
the
impact
will
provide
additional
jobs
for
our
young
people,
giving
them
options
that
they
can
that
they,
their
families
and
our
community
can
continue
to
benefit
from.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
your
continued
support
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
this
relationship
in
the
future.
F
Thank
you,
yeah
coming
here
in
the
middle
tonight
we
are
joined
by
Pastor
Eldridge
Ford
of
Global
Ministries
and
our

Mrs
luhalla
Burton
her

her
husband.
They
thank
you.

the
sole
Proprietors

the
one

in
the
City

Evanston
Halliburton
funeral
home.
We
have
16
churches

pastors

are
part

own
it,
many
of
which
are
traveling
or
had
other
schedules
tonight
and
could
not
be
here.
Thank
you
all
so
much.
G
A
Maybe
the
mayor,
but
I'm,
not
the
expert
on
the
back
back
of
the
house
of
our
banking
system,
but
thank
you
I.
You
know
it's
there's
not
a
better
cause
in
this
organization
than
finding
employment
for
for
young
people.
E
A
You
I
hope
you
know
that
that
support
is
deeply
appreciated
and
I
know
you
know
that
it
will
be
meticulously
and
carefully
spent
to
do
the
maximum
good
for
this
community.
Thank
you
very
much
to
all

Emma
Stone

next
on
the
agenda.
Is
the
city
manager's
public
announcements?
Yes,.
D
Good
evening
mayor
members
of
city
council,
clerk
Mendoza
I
want
to
take
a
moment
as
long
as
Pastor
Dillard
is
here
in
the
council
chambers
to
also
thank
him
for
his
incredible
Service
as
our
fire
chaplain
we've
kept
him
very
busy,
especially
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks,
and
just
really
appreciate
your
dedication
to
the
city
in
the
fire
department.
So
thank
you
for
that.
D
H
S
and
members
of
the
city
council,
I'm,
sorry
that
I
can't
be
with
you
in
person
tonight
for
this
really
exciting
recognition.
I'm
here
tonight
to
tell
you
about
an
amazingly
dedicated
employee
of
the
Evanston
Public
Library,
and
to
ask
you
to
join
me
in
congratulating
her
for
her
recent
acceptance
of
the
American
Library
associations,
I
Love
My
Librarian
award.
This
award
is
as
very
special
because
it
invites
Library
users
to
recognize
the
accomplishments
of
exceptional
Librarians
in
their
community
each
year.
H
Up
to
10
Librarians
from
around
the
country
are
chosen
for
this
honor,
which
includes
a
five
thousand
dollar
cash
award.
Last
month,
our
own
Alicia
Madison
who's
joining.
You
tonight
received
this
honor
at
the
American
Library
association's
winter
conference
in
New.
Orleans
Alicia
has
worked
for
the
Evanston
Public
Library
for
over
five
years
in
roles
of
increasing
responsibility
and
reach,
including
most
recently
as
our
teen
engagement
coordinator
and
currently,
as
our
interim
Innovation
and
digital
learning
manager.
H
Alicia
was
nominated
by
members
of
the
Evanston
community
and
Evanston
Public
Library
staff
for
making
a
difference
and
going
above
and
beyond
to
serve
our
community,
especially
teens
with
the
many
Innovative
engaging
and
fun
programs
that
she
brings
out
to
schools,
Parks
Community,
Gardens
and
partner
organizations
such
as
Family
Focus
and
Fleetwood
Jordan,
Community,
Center
I
could
go
on
and
on
about
Alicia
and
her
many
talents
as
a
community
Builder.
An
advocate
for
our
patrons
but
I'll
stop
now
and
ask
you
to
join
me
in
saying.
H
I
Okay,
okay,
I'll,
be
quick.
I'll
read
my
speech
that
I
read
at
the
award
I
said
someone
once
told
me
that
Librarians
can
really
party.
So,
let's
you
know,
bear
with
me.
I
said
last
month
my
mom
asked
me:
what's
the
I
Love
My
Librarian
award
I
explained
to
her
how
10
people
are
chosen
across
the
U.S
for
being
exceptional
Librarians
and
making
profound
impact
on
the
people
in
their
communities.
I
My
mom
was
amazing,
Echo,
just
like
so
many
others
said
she
didn't
know
that
the
library
offered
all
of
these
programs
and
resources,
and
then
she
thought
we
were
just
books
as
I
talked
about
how
the
library
is
more
than
just
four
walls
and
books
and
how
we
are
adapting
to
address
the
needs
of
the
community.
I
could
see
that
she
was
still
a
little
lost
about
what
the
award
was.
I
simply
told
her.
It's
the
Oscars
in
the
library
World.
I
Hence
my
attire
and
I
was
being
recognized
for
best
librarian
voted
by
the
community
and
my
colleagues
for
doing
what
my
parents
and
grandmother
has
always
taught
me
to
do,
which
is
simply
be
good
to
people,
even
when
there
is
no
one
around
and
taking
care
of
your
community
I.
Had
a
lot
of
people
be
good
to
me.
Growing
up
on
the
south
side
of
Chicago
and
I
made
a
promise
that
I
would
invest
in
the
youth
in
the
community
just
like
they
did
me.
I
I
want
to
thank
my
strong
support
system
who
this
would
not
be
possible
without
I
was
working
two
jobs
and
raising
two
boys
under
two,
while
maintaining
a
4.0
GPA
in
library
School.
Besides
the
grace
of
God,
my
husband
has
been
my
rock,
and
this
would
not
be
possible
without
him.
He
has
even
been
slightly
open.
Well
we're
still
working
it
out,
but
me
turning
our
house
into
an
indoor
garden
with
over
200
plants
to
provide
Fresh
Veggies
to
the
community.
I
My
my
family
came
together
and
did
what
was
necessary
so
that
I
can
continue
to
give
back
and
help
Inspire
the
next
generation
of
librarians
I
never
would
have
guessed
that
I'd
be
a
librarian,
but
the
role
of
a
librarian
is
changing.
This
award
makes
me
feel
seen
in
a
world
where,
at
times,
I
feel
invisible,
like
my
work
matters,
and
although
we
have
a
longer
way
to
go
I'm
happy
to
say
that
my
co-workers
are
alone
for
the
ride.
I
love
my
job
and
I
love
being
out
in
the
community
truly
making
a
difference.
I
D
A
Congratulations
thanks
for
everything
you
do
for
this
community.
It's
fabulous
next
on
our
giant
agenda
is
Communications
from
the
city
clerk.
A
Speaking
of
that
brings
us
to
public
comment.
There
are
actually
slightly
an
excess
of
30
people
who
are
seeking
to
give
comment
this
evening.
So
I'll
give
a
minute
and
30
seconds
to
each
of
you,
We
Begin
and
always
with
those
who
signed
up
in
person
to
speak
in
person
who
will
be
begun
by
John
cleave,
who
will
be
followed
by
Gene
Combs
and
then
Donna
Pugh.
J
Yeah
I'll
be
real,
quick
it'll,
be
a
lot
less
than
a
minute.
30.
I
know
a
lot
of
you
have
already
heard
from
me
so
I'm
here
just
to
plead
with
you
all
on
a
couple
of
things,
one
of
which
is-
and
this
is
to
you
mayor
bis-
please
let
the
process
play
out
when
it
comes
to
both
the
zoning
changes
and
the
approval
of
connections
at
the
Marguerite
Inn.
J
I
mean
I
would
love
to
hear
from
an
objective
outside
expert
to
talk
about
this,
who
is
invested
in
one
way
or
the
other,
so
we
hear
all
sides
of
this
and
can
get
it
and
then
the
other
thing
I'm
going
to
bring
up
real
quickly,
is
due
diligence
and
and
to
set
up
safeguards
in
all
of
the
language
that
we
do
to
put
together
the
operating
agreement
and
elsewhere
so
that,
ultimately,
the
city
has
protections
because
I
have
a
feeling.
It
could
be
a
great
thing,
we're
all
happy
with
it.
J
We
do
others
like
it
this
you
guys,
as
the
wards
of
the
city,
have
to
think
about
what,
if
not,
if
that
isn't
true
trust
me
but
verify
so
I'm,
going
to
ask
let
the
process
play
out
and
please
make
sure
that
the
safeguards
are
in
place
so
that
ultimately,
10
years
from
now,
we
don't
regret
this
like
like
out
in
Albany
Care.
Thank
you.
A
K
Thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
I'm
speaking
tonight
in
my
capacity
as
a
psychiatrist,
who's
been
practicing
in
this
country
for
40
years
and
in
this
community
and
who
has
seen
the
effects
of
homelessness
that
often
presented
to
my
office
as
depression
and
anxiety
and
over
the
course
of
the
40
years
that
I've
been
practicing.
We've
cut
back
on
social
safety
nets
in
this
country
to
a
point
where
people
do
not
have
adequate
housing
and
we
have
a
organization
in
this
community.
That's
doing
an
excellent
job
with
the
most
Innovative
practices,
their
housing
first.
K
Product
philosophy
is
at
the
heart
of
what
people
in
my
profession
think
needs
to
be
done
to
get
people
off
the
streets
to
get
people
housed
and
the
margarita
Inn
where
which
I
live,
a
block
and
a
half
from
is
doing
an
excellent
job.
A
safe
job,
I
walk
past
it
I
go
downtown
every
day,
regardless
of
what
some
other
people
have
said
and
I
think
we're
losing
money
to
lawyers
that
should
go
to
homelessness
every
time
we
let
somebody
put
delaying
tactics
on
getting
this
place.
A
K
A
M
M
It
isn't
clear
with
the
proposed
impact
study
that
came
before
apnw
tonight.
They
were
trying
to
vote
that
through
after
we
had
already,
people
came
out
to
talk
about
that
and
their
concerns
around
it.
And
from
that
it's
surprise
we
no.
We
need
a
bigger
Community
engagement
process.
Well,
that
should
be
at
the
Forefront.
If
Senior
Management
at
our
city
is
doing
their
job,
they
should
be
thinking
of
that
first,
not
after
it
wasn't
clear
when
District
65
shared
their
options
for
a
Fifth
Ward
school.
M
M
A
O
So
in
lieu
of
taxes
for
the
life
of
the
stadium
I'll,
let
the
man
city
manager
figure
out
how
much
that
should
be,
but
I
think
it
should
be
10
to
maybe
even
20
million
a
year.
They
can
afford
it.
They
have
the
wealthiest
endowment
of
any
University
in
the
country
and
it's
about
time
they
paid
their
fair
share
before
we
give
them
the
right
to
a
new
stadium.
Thank
you.
A
P
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
good
evening.
Everyone
I'm
here
tonight
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
Mather
emerge
program
that
and
their
request
for
a
matching
funds
for
the
from
the
arpa
funds.
The
emerge
program
has
been
something
that's
been
worked
on
by
me
and
some
others.
That's
really
devoted
to
providing
career
opportunities
for
young
people
that
are
not
going
to
go
to
college
each
year.
P
Eths
graduates
about
850
to
900,
kids,
200
of
them
roughly
don't
go
to
college
and
then
30
percent
of
the
ones
that
do
go,
don't
make
it
through
the
first
year.
We
have
got
to
do
everything
we
can
to
support
young
people,
so
they
can
actually
get
living
wage
career
opportunities
with
our
local
employers.
P
Mather
has
stepped
up,
they
put
their
money
up
front
and
they're
asking
for
a
match,
so
we
can
double
the
number
of
kids
to
get
there
and
the
the
Mather
actually
has
a
measurable
program
with
already
getting
some
results,
because
you
know
young
people
don't
wait
for
people
to
put
money
up.
They
really
want
their
opportunities.
P
I've
been
at
this
mayor's
employer
advisory
council
stuff
for
almost
six
years
now.
I
know
what
a
good
program
looks
like
and
a
good
program
looks
like
somebody,
that's
a
partner,
someone
that
actually
knows
how
to
use
funding
and
someone.
That's
willing
to
put
up
the
results
for
everybody
to
see
so
I
urge
you
to
go
ahead
and
approve
the
arpa
fund
matching
funds
for
the
Mather
emerge
program.
Thank
you.
Oh
by
the
way,
the
mayor,
Summer,
Youth,
Employment
Program,
is
terrific.
A
Q
Thank
you,
Mary
Bess,
thank
you
to
everyone
for
your
service
on
the
city
council
to
thank
those
job.
So
we
appreciate
the
work
you
do.
I'm
Paul
Khalil,
proud
to
be
a
second
ward
resident
and
proud
to
be
president
of
connections
for
the
homeless.
The
board
of
connections
is
comprised
of
leaders
who
care
deeply
about
Evanston
and
are
we're
committed
to
this
licensing
process
and
making
sure
that
it's
fair
and
inclusive
we're
committed
to
working
with
city
leaders
with
neighbors,
with
Community
Leaders,
with
Business
Leaders,
with
everyone
involved.
Q
We're
also
committed
to
making
the
greatest
impact
possible
and
making
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
of
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness.
If
I
heard
correctly
at
the
the
pnd
meeting
that
just
preceded
this,
the
licensing
discussions
first
started
in
2015..
Q
So
if
we
talk
about
this
as
a
rushed
process,
I
think
that's
a
bit
of
a
of
a
misnomer.
Every
delay
costs
money.
Every
legal
fight
or
hearing
requires
legal
support
and
staff
time
that
costs
money.
That's
money
that
could
be
spent
providing
services
to
find
somebody
permanent
housing.
That's
money
that
that
could
go
to
prevent
someone
from
experiencing
homelessness.
In
the
first
place,
that's
money
that
that
could
go
to
case
management
or
health
and
wellness
services
or
showers
or
laundry
or
food
or
clothing,
all
of
which
connections
provides
for
its
participants.
Q
A
A
He's
later,
but
I
also
have
poor
eyesight,
so
there
it
is
so
let's
go
to
Mary
rosinski,
who
will
be
followed
by
Don
Ziegler
and
then
Louise
Brown.
L
I
do
want
to
first
of
all
say
that
I
do
agree
with
everything
that
Trish
Conley
said
so
I
won't
repeat
that
part
of
it
I'm
well
I'm,
here
to
speak
on
the
Ryan
Field
project
and
I
just
want
people
in
the
city
to
be
aware
of
what
a
huge
Pro.
Well,
it's
a
problem,
because
the
process
that
our
that
Corporation
just
remember
it's
a
14
billion
dollar
Corporation
rolled
out
their
media
campaign
almost
a
year
ago.
But
there
were
no
details
on
anything
and
so
we're
hearing
that
there
were
Community
meetings.
L
But
those
Community
meetings
did
not
provide
any
information
as
to
what
the
nature
of
the
project
were
and
four
of
the
people
who
I
mean
they
talked
about.
You
saw
the
glossy
pictures,
but
we
have
a
planning,
a
comprehensive
plan
and
we
have
a
municipal
zoning
code
and
if
we
want
to
build
trust
in
this
community,
we
need
to
follow
those
or
we
need
to
change
them
with
Community
input.
But
we
can't
just
ignore
it,
because
one
of
the
largest
or
the
largest
influencer
in
this
town
wants
to
step
right
outside
of
this.
L
L
Morning,
thank
you
till
10,
at
night
and
on
the
weekends
till
11
and
that's
not
appropriate
for
any
Community
any
neighborhood
in
this
community
and
I.
Think
that's
why
this
is
a
city-wide
issue
that
needs
to
be
discussed
and
I
would
hope
you
build
trust
by
following
the
following
our
plans.
Thank
you.

A
S
Good
evening,
council
members
I'm
here
to
amen
Don's
Emperor
John
Ziegler's
comments,
I
am
C,
Louise,
Brown
and
I'm,
a
resident
of
evanston's
eighth
Ward
for
a
minute
number
of
years,
I'm
also
a
public
health
professional
have
been
at
the
local
and
National
level
for
years.
I
am
here
to
oppose
the
adoption
of
any
ordinance
concerning
cannabis
that
is
different
from
those
regulating
tobacco.
Smoking
in
indoor
settings
emphasize
that
smoking
cannabis.
Smoking
should
be
under
the
same
clean
air
regulations
that
tobacco
is
and
and
that
I
think
that's
what
we're
we're
here
to
say.
S
A
secondhand
cannabis.
Smoking
contains
many
of
the
same
cancer-causing
substances
that
toxic
chemicals
and
secondhand
smoking
does
decades
ago.
We
believed
that
second-hand
smoking
didn't
present
any
health
hazards
now
regulations.
Scientific
research
shows
that
it
does
it
does
present
hazards.
Likewise,
scientific
research
is
demonstrating
that
breathing
sucking
a
hand
cannabis
smoke
indoors
is
dangerous
to
health
and
therefore
should
not
be
allowed
in
indoor
service
settings.
S
Studies
now
show
that
detrimental
evidence
of
levels
of
secondhand,
I'm
trying
to
say
this
fast
and
cannabis
smoke
are
higher
levels
than
second
hand.
Tobacco
smoke
studies
show
that
Google
it
yourself.
It's
there.
It's
really
it's
there
there's
my
time.
Let
me
say
this:
every
everyone
has
a
right
to
breathe.
Clean
air
government
officials
have
a
right
to
protect
people.
I
know
that
okay
smoke,
free
policies
are
designed
to
protect
the
public
and
all
workers
from
exposure
to
health
hazards
caused
by
any
exposure
make
cannabis
the
same
clean
air
rigs
as
tobacco.
A
F
Good
evening,
I'm
Pastor
Monte
Dillard
again
I
have
the
distinct
privilege
of
serving
as
a
vice
president
of
the
board
of
directors
for
connections
for
the
homeless.
I
have
served
in
pastoral
Ministry
for
more
than
12
years
now
and
several
years
ago,
when
asked
to
consider
being
on
the
board
of
directors
for
connections,
it
was
my
assessment
of
the
work
that
they
had
done
to
that
point.
That
Drew
me
to
say.
F
Yes,
you
will
not
find
this
on
connections
website
or
in
any
language
of
its
paperwork,
but
the
truth
of
the
matter
is
is
that
the
work
of
the
organization
is
in
fact
God's
work
to
see
about
individuals
who
are
vulnerable
and
challenged
in
many
ways
and
to
see
the
efforts.
The
continual
and
consistent
efforts
of
this
organization
to
ensure
that
they
are
safe,
cared
for
and
provided
with.
Services
essentially
is
divine
work.
F
I
want
to
stand
tonight
to
lend
and
voice
my
full
support
for
the
work
that
the
organization
is
doing,
particularly
in
its
efforts
to
secure
a
permanent
place
for
the
clients
of
connections
to
be
housed.
It
was
a
tremendous
and
overwhelming
effort
that
our
executive
director
and
this
organization
responded
to
during
the
pandemic,
and
now
that
model
is
continuing
to
prove
to
be
one
that
is
most
beneficial,
and
it
is
my
hope
that
they
will
continue
to
get
the
support
of
the
city.
Thank
you.
T
Hello,
everybody
I'm
Sue
lollbach,
director
of
advocacy
at
communicate
connections
for
the
homeless,
while
we're
disappointed
in
another
new
delay
to
approval
of
our
special
use
permit.
We
are
very
pleased
that
the
city
and
connections
both
signed
the
Good
Neighbor
agreement
last
week
and
we
will
be
moving
forward
with
implementing
it
more
than
30
neighbors.
Both
proponents
and
opponents
of
the
margarita
in
participated
in
development
of
this
agreement
and
we
believe
the
end
result
will
provide
a
good
guide
to
Communications
among
connections
the
city
and
community
members
who
choose
to
engage.
T
Our
next
step
will
be
to
recruit
members
of
the
community
to
join
a
community
Advisory
board
that
will
serve
as
eyes
and
ears
in
the
community
for
as
long
as
we
have
it,
the
margarita
Inn
facility,
the
board,
will
collaborate
with
the
Margaret.
Will
collaborate
with
connections
on
handling
concerns
and
help
to
organize
public
meetings
about
the
margarita,
Inn
We'll
be
asking
the
city
for
help
in
publicizing
the
recruitment
process.
T
T
U
I'm
speaking
here
in
my
capacity
as
the
executive
director
of
housing,
opportunities
and
maintenance
for
the
elderly,
which
serves
low-income
seniors
and
others
in
in
the
city
of
Chicago,
I'm
speaking
about
the
the
lodging
establishments
and,
of
course,
I'm,
very
supportive
of
the
margarita
in
this
is
not
about
I,
didn't
even
know
this
had
anything.
This
ordinance
had
anything
to
do
with
that
I'm.
Looking
at
this,
because
the
kind
of
housing
which
is
the
co-housing
is
described
in
the
in
the
introduction.
Here,
that's
what
we
do
at
home.
U
We
have
shared
housing
for
seniors,
young
adults
and
families
living
Under,
One
Roof,
it's
a
form
of
Independent
Living.
So
if
you
think
of
independent
living
as
a
Continuum,
where,
on
the
one
hand,
you
have
a
single
family
home
that
you
own
and
on
on
another,
you
might
have
people
sharing,
you
know,
sharing
meals,
activities,
so
I'm
concerned
about
a
licensing
requirement.
The
city
of
Chicago
does
not
require
a
home
to
be
licensed
for
our
intergenerational
shared
housing.
So
you
know
it
seems
to
me
that
that
would
be
a
problem.

U
A
V
V
How
is
it
that
specific
directives
from
a
city
council
committee
was
disregarded?
It
seems
wrong
should
not
have
happened.
I
urge
the
city
council's
direct
staff
to
follow
the
will
of
the
anpw
committee
and
create
a
lease
through
Cooperative
discussion
with
jjge
and
then
have
that
document
on
the
agenda
for
a
future
city
council
meeting.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Charles
Smith,
followed
by
Sharon
Fagan
and
then
Aaron
Cohen.
W
Good
good
evening,
city
manager,
Stowe
I,
want
to
talk
to
you
tonight
because
in
evidently
we
submitted
a
lease
to
the
legal
department
in
September,
which
was
reviewed,
and
then
comments
were
posted
in
several
City
documents
that
had
incomplete
and
confusing,
in
some
cases,
misleading
information
when
we
suggest
when
we
ask
that
these
points
be
marked
up
in
the
lease
and
returned,
as
our
attorneys,
Kirkland
and
Ellis
had
requested
that
that
was
never
followed
up
up
up
upon.
W
W
In
all
cases,
they
overwhelmingly
supported
a
lease
with
the
James
Jensen
Organization
for
the
grounds
and
coach
house,
so
I
ask
that
a
marked
up
police
be
executed
immediately,
and
we
have
the
opportunity
to
to
discuss
these
various
issues
and
that
some
there's
been
real
harm
because
of
the
inaccuracies
and
that
that
those
inaccuracies
be
corrected
and
reposted
to
to
clarify.
A
X
Hi
good
evening,
I'm,
Sharon,
Fagan
and
I'm,
also
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
council,
adopting
a
lease
assigning
a
lease
for
the
Jen's
Jensen
Gardens
and
Coach
House
project
and,
as
you
perhaps
know,
the
vision
of
this
whole
project
is
to
reveal
and
restore
the
garden
that
was
originally
designed
by
Jens
Jensen
and
demonstrate
the
beautiful
natural
habitat
in
Evanston
provide
a
good
environment
for
residents
and
youth
to
learn
about
landscaping
and
to
work
on
beautifying.
X
This
public
space
for
all
and
this
project
is
somewhat
unique
in
bringing
together
so
many
different
parts
of
the
community,
young
old,
black
white
hispanic,
and
it's
a
really
special
project
that
has
very
wide
appeal
and
it
can
get
underway
immediately
if
we
can
get
this
worked
out
with
the
lease.
There
has
been
this
really
odd
delay,
and
we
also
firmly
believe
that
getting
this
lease
and
getting
this
work
underway
will.
E
X
A
Y
The
Planning
and
Development
Committee
voted
very
wisely
to
send
out
an
RFP
for
a
city-wide
study
of
economic
and
quality
of
life
factors
vis-a-vis
the
Ryan
Field
plan,
but
it's
really
sad
that
we
taxpayers
are
forced
to
pay
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
to
make
up
for
Enya's
refusal
to
be
collaborative
or
transparent
about
its
Ryan
Mega
entertainment,
complex,
we've
heard
a
lot
of
promises,
but
please
demand
that
and
you
divulge
the
full
CSL
study,
which
underlies
the
trip,
umbach
PR
piece
Northwestern
so
far,
has
refused
to
do
that
and
it
makes
you
wonder,
are
what
are
they
hiding?
Y
These
would
be
their
business
assumptions.
What
will
this
Ryan
plan,
which
ironically
contradicts
the
Evanston,
thrives?
Vision
costs
us,
and
only
when
we
know
that
I
think
will
we
be
able
to
decide
whether
it
will
be
good
for
Evanston
or
not.
So,
even
though
Northwestern
wants
to
screw
Steamroller
zoning
changes,
please
don't
even
think
about
it
before
evanston's
own
independent
study
is
done
and
meanwhile
demand
transparency
ask
Northwestern
to
share
with
us
the
CSL
study
thanks
an
awful
lot.

Good
evening
councilman
and
councilwoman,
my
name
is
Ben
gaspara
and
I'm,
a
resident
of
the
Sixth
Ward
I'm
here
tonight.
As
a
representative
of
the
one
Community
Museum
and
Gardens
nonprofit
We
were
one
of
the
respondents
to
the
RFP
for
the
restoration
and
reuse
of
the
Harley
Clark
Mansion
I
just
have
a
few
things.
I
want
to
say
tonight.
Z
AA
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
My
name
is
Kevin.
Dahlgren
I've
worked
in
Social
Services
for
the
last
28
years,
primarily
in
Portland
Oregon
and
Seattle
Washington
and
I've
focused
that
work
on
28
years
of
homeless,
Street,
Outreach
and
I
come
here
today
to
warn
you
about
the
housing
first
model.
It
was
something
that
was
introduced
to
us
about
20
years
ago,
and,
to
be
blunt,
it
was
a
spectacular
failure
and
it
is
bankrupt
in
our
cities
on
the
West
Coast
United
States
it
took
at
the
time
we
were
excited.
AA
It
looked
good
on
paper.
We
were
reading
it
like
this
sounds
amazing,
but
it
the
the
biggest
fault
with
the
housing
first
model
is,
it
doesn't
prepare
people
to
live
in
housing
and
once
they're
there
either
hides
the
problem
or
they
burn
out
faster
to
the
streets,
and
it's
really
just
caused
a
lot
of
problems
in
our
communities
and
what
I
ask
you
to
do
is
rethink
this.
What
we
see
now
on
the
west
coast
is
shelter.
First,
housing
earned.
Let
them
work
towards
that
goal.
AA
You
house
them
without
any
expectations
towards
recovery,
either
that
being
addiction
or
mental
health,
that
they're
highly
likely
to
actually
worsen
and
back
up
end
up
back
on
the
streets
and
so
really
for
us
how
it's
devastated
our
communities
is.
For
you
know
it's
every
year
we
ask
for
more
and
more
money
to
cover
the
cost
of
this
broken
model.
15.
A
A
There
must
be
a
really
full
Zoom
somewhere
else.
So
then
we'll
go
on
to
Cindy
Castro,
followed
by
Patrick
Donnelly
and
then
Jennifer
Crosby.
AB
Your
body
Castro
and
I'm
one
of
the
co-chairs
of
the
mental
health
task
force
of
evidence,
then,
and
also
the
manager
of
the
outpatient,
Behavior
Health
Clinic
at
Ascension
St
Francis.
Today,
you
received
the
letter
submitted
on
behalf
of
the
task
force,
addressing
our
strong
concerns
regarding
the
limited
funding
for
the
city
of
evanston's
case
management
and
safety,
net
Services
Grants
and
the
process
for
allocation
of
Grant
funds.
Funding
for
mental
health
is
consistently
seen
as
a
priority
for
Community
residents.
Many
of
you
know
that
needs
of
our
community
are
greater
now
more
than
ever.
AB
For
this
reason,
providers
who
apply
for
funding
and
attend
at
the
social
services
committee
meeting
on
January
19th
we're
surprised
to
hear
the
limited
amount
of
dollars
available
for
mental
health
funding
and
disappointed
by
by
the
allocation
process.
If
agencies
have
known
of
the
significant
funding
shortfall,
we
could
have
sought
out
additional
funding
for
those
Services.
We
also
did
not
understand
the
allocation
process,
as
it
did
not
appear
to
be
based
on
any
type
of
consistent
criteria.
We
were
asking
for
communication
and
transparency
on
how
the
funding
decisions
were
made.
AB
We
recognized
the
difficult
decisions
the
committee
faced
with
limited
funding
and
appreciate
the
commitment
of
those
who
are
volunteering
their
time
to
serve
the
committee.
We
believe
that
both
increased
funding
and
a
fair
and
Equitable
process
are
necessary
to
ensure
that
critical
social
services
are
available
to
meet
the
needs
of
evanston's
molds
under
resourced
and
vulnerable
residents.
We
urge
you
to
allocate
520
000
to
the
calendar
year.
2023
case
management
safety
net
grants
to
fully.
AB
Classmate
and
review
and
improve
the
process
for
assessing
grants,
application
and
awarding
funds.
Members
of
the
task
force
would
like
to
be
a
part
of
the
conversation
to
partner
and
support
City
staff
and
the
social
services
Committee.
In
this
process.
We
look
forward
to
engaging
in
a
meaningful
conversation.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
A
AC
A
You
hear
me:
okay,
yeah,
we
sure
can.
AC
Thank
you
for
having
me
mayor,
Biz
and
city
manager
and
city
council.
I
have
with
me
a
minute
and
a
half
really
well
written
presentation
about
Harley
Clark
that
I'm
going
to
completely
disregard,
because
when
we're
talking
about
Harley,
Clark
I
think
just
quickly
I
want
to
say
a
billionaire
couldn't
save
it.
He
walked
away
from
it
and
a
New
York
Times
bestseller,
who
also
is
very
wealthy,
just
walked
away
from
Harley
Clark,
and
that's
because
this
property
has
a
lot
of
challenges.
AC
AC
You
know
we
want
to
put
a
cafe
in
it
and
put
event
space
in
it
and
really
open
it
up
for
the
community
and
we're
hoping
that
city
council,
the
new
city
council
and
the
new
city
manager
and
our
new
mayor
will
at
least
meet
with
us.
So
we
can
informally
share
with
you
all
these
great
ideas.
AC
We
have
and
introduce
you
to
some
of
the
people
who
have
done
extraordinary
work
like
the
person
that
helped
build
the
Botanical
Gardens
and
the
former
director
of
the
block
museum
and
people
who
sit
on
the
board
of
landmark
Illinois,
we're
working
with
some
great
people
and
we'd
love
to
be
a
part
of
the
Harley
Clark
conversation.
So
please
include
us
and
we
we
think
it's
a
very
important
conversation.
Thank
you.
A
AD
Oh
hi
good
evening,
I
wanted
to
zoom
in
to
just
make
a
comment
about
the
lodging
establishments
discussion.
That's
going
on
and
I'm
in
full
support
of
making
sure
that
we
license
and
inspect
anything
that
has
to
do
with
coal
habitation,
especially
if
it
has
to
deal
with
vulnerable
populations
like
the
disabled
or
seniors,
but
how
I
actually
got
on
this
is
I
I
thought
that
maybe
this
would
have
to
do
with
some
other
types
of
of
housing
ordinances.
My
concern
is
for
the
airbnbs
that
are
being
run,
especially
in
my
neighborhood.
AD
You
know
when
you
have
a
hotel
there
are.
You
know,
rules
that
you
have
to
follow
like
having
a
24-hour
destler.
You
have
to
be
21
to
rent
the
hotel
room.
You
know
all
of
these
things
that
happen,
but
when
there's
an
Airbnb
like
the
ones
that
are
you
know
next
to
my
house,
these
are
non-landlord
occupied
buildings
that
are
being
rented
out,
basically
as
a
hotel
and
if
I
wanted
to
live
next
to
a
hotel,
I
would
have
bought
a
home
in
in
a
zoning
area.
AD
D
A
AE
City
Council
Members
I
just
wanted
to
offer
my
support
for
Margarita,
Inn
and
connections
for
needed,
much
needed
housing
for
our
unhoused,
some
of
our
house
population
here
in
Evanston
I
and
then
I
just
want
to
comment
on
our
attitude
as
we
as
we
evanstonians.
Sometimes
we
want
everything
we
have
aspirations
to.
Do
it
all
as
long
as
it's
not
in
our
own
backyards
and
so
I'm
saying
that
because
sometimes
we're
not,
we
don't
object
when
it's
in
someone
else's
backyard
and
that
would
go
the
same.
AE
I
want
to
say
concept
or
the
same
thinking
for
the
rebuild
of
Ryan
stadium
that
we
need
to
look
at
the
benefit
from
the
overall
Community,
not
just
for
the
sixth
and
seventh
War.
Yes,
it's
located
there,
but
there
are
things
located
in
other
parts
of
the
community
that
concerns
you
as
well.
So
please
think
about
the
rest
of
us
who
may
have
some
benefits
from
this.
Thank
you.
A
AF
Thank
you
mayor
Bess,
good
evening,
City,
Council,
Members,
city
manager,
Stowe
city
clerk,
Mendoza
and,
of
course,
mayor
Bass,
I'm,
here
on
behalf
of
friends
of
Harley
Clark,
a
501c3
that
was
formed
in
November
of
2018,
with
a
mission
to
preserve,
maintain
and
otherwise
support
the
publicly
owned
Harley,
Park,
House,
Coach,
House
and
grounds
in
in
strategic
alliance
with
the
community
and
City
of
Evanston.
After
friends
of
Harley
Clark
was
formed.
AF
We
quickly
raised
over
fifty
thousand
dollars,
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
in
pledges
built
relationships
with
preservation,
experts
and
vendors
and
secured
in-kind
services
for
the
purpose
of
several
immediate
and
long-term
preservation
projects.
While
we
paused
our
own
fundraising
efforts
after
the
awarding
of
the
lease
we're
here
today,
ready
to
resume
our
efforts
wholeheartedly.
Once
again,
the
funds
available
for
immediate
repairs,
friends
of
Harley
Clark,
has
always
believed
that
we
have
an
absolute
gem
in
the
making
on
our
lakefront
and
that
the
possibilities
are
endless
to
get
there.
We
must
work
together.
AF
AF
N
AF
Their
continued
commitment,
City
of
Evanston,
our
community
and
the
Harley
Park
mansion
and
grounds,
and
we're
thrilled
to
hear
that
others
are
still
interested
as
well.
Even
better.
Our
understanding
is
that
they're
willing
to
collaborate
with
other
parties
that
expressed
interest
during
the
RFP
process
and
With
Friends
of
Harley
Park
to
ensure
that
the
81
of
our
community
that
voted
to
save
the
house
and
Gardens
will
not
be
disenfranchised.
We
could
not
be
more
encouraged
to
hear
of
their
continued
interest
and
should
the.
A
A
AG
Go
as
fast
as
I
can,
if
you
could
give
me
a
little
more
time,
I
appreciate
it,
because
I
have
a
preceding
comment.
I
heard
several
times
tonight
comments
that
this
proposed
ordinance
provides
for
licensing
or
none
existed
before
I'm.
Quite
sure
all
the
Ledger
establishments
already
require
licenses.
That
is
what
defines
them.
They
need
a
license
of
some
sort
if
they
do
not
meet
the
three-person
rural.
Okay,
correct
me.
AG
If
I'm
wrong,
somebody
going
on
to
my
comments,
I'm
surprised
by
the
speed
at
which
this
proposed
ordinance
is
progressing
presented
to
the
public
last
Friday
especially
surprise,
given
its
scope,
replacing
an
entire
chapter
of
the
code
affecting
good
part
of
the
city,
not
provided
as
a
description
of
the
changes
for
each
type
of
covered
housing
needed
to
understand
that
the
impact.
Why
was
the
entire
chapter
replaced
instead
of
piecing
and
changes,
it's
necessary
to
know
line
for
line?
Y
text
was
modified
in
order
to
understand
effect.
AG
Example:
abbreviated,
which
rooms
are
to
be
occupied,
as
sleeping
rooms
was
deleted.
Yet
the
ipmc,
which
Coe
follows,
contains
special
requirements
for
sleeping
rooms.
You
can't
pass
through
a
bedroom
to
get
to
bathroom
free
grass
Etc
other
details
specific
to
sleeping
rooms
proposed
ordinance,
repeats,
ipmc
footage
required
for
sleeping
room,
but
doesn't
state
that
all
the
ipmc
requirements
are
to
be
met.
Please
consider
that
no
limit
has
been
placed
on
the
number
of
rooming
units
on
a
lot
15.
N
AG
Chicago,
did
you
say
something
timing
me.
AG
What
about
plan
developments?
You
know
what
point
does
share
housing
containing
roaming
units
become
a
planned
development.
This
is
a
sweeping
change
that
requires
close
examination
not
yet
done.
The
replacement
chapter
does
not
even
Define
what
shared
housing
is
draft
quality.
X
AH
AH
Does
increasing
pollution
such
as
excessive
light
noise
or
chemicals
feature
a
green
agenda
for
any
part
of
Evanston
increase
traffic
with
more
vehicle
exhaust
damages
lungs
and
hearts?
Increased
noise
levels
caused
anxiety,
disrupt
concentration
and
sleep.
A
major
health
concern,
frequent
Road
and
building
construction
releases
pollutants
into
the
air
Soil
and
Water
Table,
while
creating
noise
traffic
disruption
and
additional
costs
to
the
city.
Hundons
proposals
will
not
report
on
impacts
related
to
noise
levels,
in-depth
traffic
impacts,
streets
and
infrastructure
deterioration
Etc.
AH
Why
support
a
study
that
ignores
major
environmental
issues
that
will
affect
towards
directly
and
spill
over
to
the
rest
of
the
city
in
terms
of
drifting
pollution
and
costs
the
environmental
impact
of
the
deconstruction
and
rebuild
of
an
oversized
stadium?
That
does
not
provide
enough
parking
and
unused
plans
to
increase
traffic
and
congestion
via
Edge
proposed
zoning
changes
to
allow
unlimited,
10K
attendees
events
coupled
with
the
loud
idling
vehicles
on
the
premises
is
regressive.
The
destructive
ramifications
are
to
our
health
and
to
the
health
of
the
natural
environment.
E
AG
AH
A
A
In
that
case,
we
moved
to
our
final
public
comment,
which
will
be
which
will
be
passed
along
To
Us
by
clerk
Mendoza.
A
I'm
so
sorry
I,
just
I
was
looking
at
your
name
and
my
anyhow
sorry
just
a
error
on
my
part.
My
apologies
Miss
price.
Please
go
ahead.
AI
Oh
okay,
Mr
Mr
Mayor
and
the
city
council
and
clerk
Mendoza
and
city
council
members.
I
I
would
like
to
make
this
brief,
which
is
helpful.
AI
It
concerns
the
hundon
concerns
reflect
opportunities
regarding
our
priorities
as
the
community
and
the
ones
that
were
concerns
for
the
service
group
were
spaces
and
releases
on,
and
we
believe
you've
got
the
welding
solvents,
and
so
that's
the
background
for
which
I'm
saying
when
will
inclusion
distinguish
us
as
America's,
most
literacy,
other
accommodations
or
new
evidence
and
ordinances
that
can
stop
hate
or
racism
can
embracing
our
community
common
humanity
and
nobility
enhance
inclusion
to
build
community
while
building
and
prosperity.
AI
A
Thank
you
very
much,
and
thanks
also
for
putting
out
my
mistake,
I
appreciate
it
the
next.
The
final
comment
will
be
delivered
by
Cliff
Mendoza.
C
Point
of
information
I
believe
our
rules,
just
as
not
to
set
a
precedent
that
the
clerk
is
going
to
read
out
statements
for
folks
that
our
rules
say
that
the
clerk
is
not
to
read
out
statements
and
to
only
either
provide
a
summary
or
just
transmit
it.
In
writing
to
the
council.
B
B
B
Jeremy
or
bits
and
City
Council
Members
I'm
writing
this
letter
on
behalf
of
the
Evanston
Conservancy
I
am
unable
to
attend
the
meeting
this
evening,
but
I
am
looking
forward
to
having
in-person
conversations
moving
forward.
As
a
refresh,
we
submitted
a
RFP
for
the
Harley
Clark
mansion
in
February
of
2022
and
had
the
second
highest
grade
for
the
city.
Since
artist
book
house
has
elected
to
discontinue
with
their
plans,
we
are
hopeful
that
the
city
would
reconsider
our
proposal.
B
During
the
past
week,
I
have
reached
out
to
and
had
productive
conversations
with,
Evanston
lake
house
and
Gardens,
as
well
as
Charles
Smith
and
Jen's
Jensen's
Gardens
I,
believe.
If,
given
the
chance,
we
could
all
work
together
in
a
positive
way
that
would
be
beneficial
to
both
the
city
and
the
community.
B
I
know
Charles
is
anticipating
a
lease
from
the
city
for
the
grounds
Coach,
House
and
Greenhouse.
We
would
support
this
decision
if
the
lease
would
then
be
subjected
to
the
Master
Lease
at
the
future
at
a
future
date.
If
the
city
was
inclined
to
move
forward
with
Evanston
Conservancy
Conservancy
I
know,
Jen
Jensen's
Gardens
has
upcoming
deadlines
that
are.
B
Better
tied
to
having
long-time
use
of
the
gardens
I
do
not
want
to
impede
that
progress
and
believe
it
is,
are
all
good
all
for
good.
Sorry.
I
would
also
like
to
emphasize
our
commitment
to
the
community
engagement
and
collaboration.
Our
team
is
dedicated
to
working
closely
with
the
residents
and
continues.
AJ
Just
wanted
to
clarify
I
was
the
council
member,
because
I
had
a
couple
of
residents.
Ask
me
unless
I'm
mistaken
in
the
rules
they
put.
I
was
pointed
out
to
me
that
it
says
individuals
may
participate
by
electronic
means,
including
the
person
may
submit
written
comment
in
advance
of
the
meeting,
and
it
will
be
read
during
public
comment
within
the
time
parameters
set
forth
here
so
I
mean.
Maybe
we
need
to
change
that
yeah.
B
And
I,
as
the
clerk
of
the
city
I
always
reach
out
to
individuals
and
ask
them
if
they
want
me
to
read
their
public
comment
out
loud.
To
be
honest
with
you,
most
people
just
want
to
be
able
to
email
you
and
most
of
the
people
who
want
their
comments
read
out
loud.
They
will
email
me
and
specifically
tell
me,
or
they
will
call
or
right.
AJ
A
All
right,
so,
let's,
let's
move
on
and
again
make
sure
we're
all
on
the
same
page
before
next
before
next
time.
This
brings
us
to
special
orders
of
business.
Is
there
a
motion
relative
to
item
sp1.
A
A
AJ
You
as
I
expressed
in
pnd
I,
am
I.
I
would
like
to
see
us
table
this,
since
we
don't
aren't
we're
no
longer
as
rushed.
My
understanding
from
staff
was
that
this
was
we're
trying
to
fit
this
on
the
timetable
for
connections
for
the
homeless.
I
have
a
lot
of
questions.
I
think
we
are
moving
too
quickly
on
this
I.
Think
licensing
is
very
controversial.
AJ
I'd
like
to
Echo
what
we
heard
from
his
from
Gail,
Schechter
and
I
do
have
a
lot
of
concerns
about
how
the
potential
disparate
impact,
the
impact
on
fair
housing-
and
you
know
the
facility
that
Michelle
runs
home
in
Chicago.
That
would
be
subject.
Co-Housing
I
mean
it
doesn't
even
say
co-housing
in
the
description
of
the
facilities
that
there's
a
long
explanation
about
co-housing
in
this,
but
yet
it's
not
even
listed
in
the
facilities
covered
under
the
license.
AJ
The
the
catch-all
licensing
for
shared
housing
I
mean
I
would
be
concerned
that
we
would,
you
know,
feel
compelled
that
we
would
then
have
to
license
this
co-housing
arrangement.
I
also
I
just
think
we're
moving
weight.
AJ
I
think
there
are
too
many
questions
about
this
and
it's
we
should
slow
down
and
since
we
can
I
think
we
should
I
and
I
wonder
if
is
Sarah
or
somebody
could
answer
a
question
I'm
just
wondering
if
there
are
other
cities
that
do
this,
meaning
that
license
and
catch-all
bunch
of
facilities,
but
each
one
like,
but
each
one
is
subject
to
a
separate
operating
agreement,
meaning
like,
for
example,
all
transitional
shelters.
AJ
Each
one
would
be
a
separate
operating
agreement
because
that's
what
we're
saying
we're
going
to
do
is
create
these
tailored
operating
groups,
so
it
could
be
unequal.
It
could
be
unfair.
Even
in
that
situation,
I
mean
why?
Wouldn't
we
have
a
standard,
a
license
for
each
that's
standardized.
I
just
would
love
to
hear
of
other
cities
that
are
doing
something
like
this
in
terms
of
Licensing.
E
AL
That
you
know
we're
trying
to
create
a
whole
new
license
at
all.
It's
it's
already
required
we're
trying
to
strengthen
the
existence
of
our
current
code
so
that
we
can
actually
enforce
it
better
and
and
fix
some
of
the
issues
that
have
been
debated
at
various
committees
and
subcommittees
for
some
time.
AJ
Thank
you
I,
but
I
mean
we
do
have.
There
is
certain
so,
for
example,
transitional
shelter
I
mean
now
we're
putting
everything
under
the
same
license
and
then
we're
going
to
have
separate
operating
agreements
for
every
single
say,
for
example,
transitional
shelter
and
those
could
vary
and
be
unequal.
AJ
Currently
I
mean
I.
Just
would
like
to
know
if
there's
another
city,
that
does
it
like
this,
because
it
does
seem
to
me
almost
like
an
overreach
that
we're
going
to
create
these
separate
operating
agreements
for
this
for
the
same
types
of
facility,
each
one's
going
to
get
an
individualized
operating
agreement,
because
the
license
is
the
same
for
a
hotel
as
it
is
for
say,
a
transitional
treatment,
shelter.
AM
Good
evening
mayor
biss
members
of
the
city
council,
clerk
Mendoza,
we
have
not
found
any
community
that
or
municipality
that
is
regulating
things
in
this
exact
manner.
There
are
any
number
of
communities
that
have
individual
licenses
for
things
as
they
come
up,
but
what
that
doesn't
give
us
is
the
ability
to
respond
to
new
things
as
they
come
up
with
a
platform
from
which
to
work,
and
the
other
thing
that
I
think
we
are
seeing
that's
happening
more
and
more
is
different.
AM
Physical
buildings
are
being
used
in
different
ways
at
different
times
to
House
people
differently,
and
this
gives
us
the
flexibility
to
focus
on
how
the
housing
is
provided,
the
operating,
which
has
not
been
something
in
the
past.
For
the
in
the
past,
you
pretty
much
rented
a
standalone
dwelling
unit
or
you
owned
a
standalone
dwelling
unit
or
you.
AM
There
were
some
very
specific
types
of
housing,
shared
housing
that
existed
like
rooming
houses
in
the
typical
way
that
fit
under
what
we
had,
but
the
the
changes
that
are
going
on
in
the
house
and
the
way
people
are
being
housed
and
the
much
greater
mobility
of
a
lot
of
people
is
making
them
look
at
for
new
and
different
options
that
this
gives
us.
The
ability
to
address.
AJ
C
So
I
I,
I,
I
I,
don't
agree
with
councilmember
Kelly.
We
often
agree
on
things
but
I
in
this
case
I.
C
Certainly
this
did
not
go
through
committee
process,
but
it
you
know
it's
having
two
readings
here
at
Council.
It
was
discussed
at
committee
this
evening,
and
so
that's
somewhat
in
line
with
the
normal
process.
C
I
I
think
the
concerns
that
I'm
hearing
can
be
addressed
and
answered
between.
You
know
this
will
have
a
second
reading
and
maybe,
if
those
questions
aren't
answered
by
the
next
reading,
I
think
maybe
there
would
be
potential
for
more
support
around
a
hold
for
one
meeting
to
get
those
answers.
C
So
but
one
question
I
do
have
is
and-
and
one
note
I
have
here
is
you
know
about
folks
saying
that
this
process
is
rushed,
and
you
know
I
I'd
love
to
think
that
this
Council,
where
you
know
is
people,
are
describing
almost
like
we're
in
the
pocket
of
big
homeless,
shelter.
C
I,
you
know
that's
almost
something
to
be
proud
of.
If
this
council
is
super,
it
is,
is
extremely
influenced
by
you,
know,
homeless,
shelters
and
ensuring
that
they're
here
in
our
community
I,
don't
think
that's
the
case.
I,
don't
think
we're
deviating
from
standard
process
for
any
particular
applicant.
I
think
this
is,
you
know,
smart
policy
that
should
be
applied
elsewhere.
C
I'll
know
one
thing
I
do
have
a
question
about
is:
is
the
license
and
I'm
sorry,
if
I'm,
just
not
reading
the
plain
language
and
seeing
it
here,
but
one
thing
that
was
mentioned
that
I
thought
had
some
value
earlier
was
that
the
operation,
no
agreement
isn't
required
until
six
months
after
you
know
the
license
has
been
issued.
Is
that
first?
Is
that
correct?
AN
Good
evening,
Liz
Williams,
so
the
current
current
requirement
related
to
the
operating
agreement
is
that
if
you
are
an
existing
licensed
facility
that
your
operating
agreement
would
be
due
upon
your
renewal
application
in
2024,
any
new
license
requests
from
existing
license
holders.
Sorry,
new
requests
for
licenses
require
a
operating
agreement
to
be
approved
by
the
city
council
prior
to
the
license
issuance
okay.
C
So
that
was
something
mistaken
in
public
comment
when
someone
said
that
correct.
AN
C
So
that's
that's
helpful
and
hope
that
clarifies
I
forget
exactly
who
asked
that
question,
but
hopefully
that
clarifies
that
issue
and
I
will
say
in
response
to
and
last
thing
here
you
know,
I
think
it
makes
sense
that
we
have
these
operational
agreements
for
individual.
You
know
just
like,
as
councilmember
Kelly
said,
you
know
we're
licensing,
hotels,
dormitories,
you
know
shelters,
you
know
the
whole
Gambit,
that's
included
here.
C
C
It
makes
sense
that
we'd
have
an
operational
agreement
for
each
one
that
that
really
hones
in
on
the
local
issues
and
operating
challenges
of
that
particular
site
and
and
Industry,
and
so
to
me
that
that
perfectly
makes
sense,
but
I
would
encourage
you
know
all
of
those
questions
to
be
answered
before
the
next
meeting
and
if
they
aren't
thoroughly
answered,
be
more
open
to
holding.
Thank
you.
AO
On
the
first
page
of
this
document,
the
document
that
we're
given
earlier
this
evening
do
all
of
those
currently
have
operating
agreements,
so
are
are
some
of
a
lot
of
them.
Don't
so.
AN
Yeah
currently
no
license
holder
has
an
operating
agreement.
That
is
one
of
the
new
proposed
amendments
to
the
license
requirement.
So
this
is
a
new
requirement
of
all
license
holders.
Okay,.
AN
They
actually
do
not.
They
are
subject
to
the
current
requirements
of
the
rooming
house
license
code,
okay,
which
is
one
of
the
motivations
behind
making.
These
proposed
changes
right.
Okay,.
AO
And
so
have
we
thought
about
like
length
of
time
we
would
give
to
all
these
existing
shared
housing
facilities
to
provide
you
know
to
work
on
an
operating
agreement.
Sure.
AN
So,
as
council
member
Reed
had
had
asked
for
clarification,
existing
license
holders
will
be
required
to
submit
an
operating
agreement
with
their
2024
renewal
and
then
any
new
license.
Requests
between
now
and
into
the
future
would
be
required
to
have
those
approved
by
the
city
council,
okay,
I
apologize.
AO
For
making
you
repeat
it,
it's
taking
a
while
to
sort
of
simmer
and
sit
happy
to
do
so.
Okay,
right
well,
I
I
mean
there
have
definitely
been
some
questions
raised
this
evening
and
I
guess.
I
would
encourage
all
of
us,
as
well
as
members
of
the
public
who've,
been
participating
this
evening
to
submit
those
questions,
so
we
can
have
them
answered
by
the
time
we
come
back
to
talk
about
this
in
a
couple
of
weeks.
AK
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
want
to
speak
to
the
speed
of
this
process
and
reiterate
that
this
is
not
a
rushed
process.
I've
been
involved
in
a
discussion
about
how
to
appropriately
license
facilities
in
the
city
going
back
to
at
least
March
of
last
year.
So
that's
that's
almost
a
full
year.
The
way
that
discussion
has
evolved
is
where
we
are
now
and
I
think
this
is
really
kind
of
an
elegant
and
creative
solution
to
what,
because
really
kind
of
a
thorny
problem.
How
do
we?
AK
How
do
we
regulate
a
really
diverse
and
complex
array
of
potential
housing
structures
as
simply
as
possible-
and
you
know
credit
to
our
staff
for
coming
up
with
this
elegant
solution
to
a
complex
problem?
I
think
this
is
great.
This
is
an
example
of
good
government,
and
this
is
an
example
that
other
cities
might
want
to
take
note
of.
So,
if
we're
the
first
one
in
the
country
so
be
it,
everybody
look
at
Evanston,
I.
Think
we're
doing
the
right
thing
here
and
I.
AJ
I,
do
a
special
order
of
business
is
to
try
to
push
things
through
more
quickly,
so
I,
don't
think
that
our
residents
are
given
a
fair
chance
to
really
understand
this.
I
I'm
grateful
to
Sarah
flax
this
evening
for
producing
a
more
a
clear
document.
It's
been
very
difficult
for
many
to
understand
what
was
going
on
here.
So
I.
Don't
think
this
is
fair
to
put
this
through
as
a
special
order.
There
is
time
and
again
to
me,
you
know,
council,
member
Reed,
to
your
point.
AJ
Responding
to
when
you
have
normally,
you
would
have
a
a
license
that
sets
standards
for
all
the
facilities
of
that
certain
type
so
for
all
dormitories
for
all
hotels,
so
that
there
is
a
standard
and
some
equity
in
terms
of
the
expectations
and
standards.
So
now
I
mean
this
to
me.
AJ
Fields
feels
not
only
unwieldy
but
again
like
now.
Everybody's
gonna
have
the
same
license
and
we're
going
to
write
individual
operating
agreements,
individual
ones
for
every
rooming
house,
for
every
Hotel,
they're
gonna
get
a
separate
one.
I
just
think
we
need
to
better
assess
the
impact
of
this
I'm.
Also,
I
am
not
particularly
you
know.
The
whole
licensing
concept
I
think
that
needs
further
to
be
fleshed
out
further
with
our
residents,
because
it
is
a
very
controversial
issue.
AJ
Licensing
you
know,
as
Ms
Schechter
pointed
out,
she
doesn't
have
doesn't
need
to
license
and
that
this
type
of
Co
housing
is
more
popular
among
lower
income,
elderly
disabled,
so
they
would
be
subject
to
licensing,
whereas
in
other
situations
that
we
spoke
about
impunity,
it
would
not
so
I
think
there
is
a
possibility
for
a
disparate
impact.
I
I
just
think
we
need
to
look
at
this
in
more
detail
and
not
take
action,
and
then
final
action
in
two
weeks.
I
think
this.
AJ
A
Again,
no
one
is
asking
to
speak
for
the
first
time,
so
we
go
back
to
council
member
Reed
with
a
minute
55
left.
Thank.
C
You
yeah
I
I,
see
that
as
important,
so
I'll
ask
Council
Cummings
from
your
understanding
of
this
ordinance.
Would
housing
situations
is
councilmember
Kelly
described
repeating
what
Gail
Schechter
mentioned
earlier?
Would
those
be
covered
by
this
ordinance.
AL
I'm
not
sure
exactly
which
housing
situations
you're
talking
about
so
based
upon
the
definition
that
we
have
in
both
our
zoning
code
that
talks
about
what
a
roaming
unit
and
lodging
rooms
are.
It
would
cover
those
specific
definitions
in
our
zoning
code,
as
well
as
the
definition
of
shared
housing.
That's
in
the
the
updated
portion
of
the
code,
I,
don't
believe
there
will
be
any
sort
of
disparate
impact
between
housing,
that
houses,
elderly
or
disabled,
or
anything
of
that
nature.
We,
as
the
city
requires
a
license
already.
AL
AL
It
has
come
before
this
Council
about
issues
in
terms
of
all
sorts
of
kinds
of
housing
dealing
with
Northwestern
students,
for
example.
Licensing
of
this
nature
would
actually
help
us
with
that
as
well.
So
I
I
don't
see
that
there's
any
sort
of
disappeared
impact
or
fair
housing
potential.
AL
C
AL
I
C
I
would
request
that,
along
with
councilmember
Kelly,
that
we
look
into
that
between
now
and
the
next
meeting,
and
if
there
is
one
if
there's
Logic
for
excluding
those,
you
know
that
intergenerational
kind
of
housing,
co-housing
model
that
was
mentioned,
if
there's
Logic
for
excluding
that
I'd
want
to
make
sure
that
it
is
excluded
and
that
that
is
very
clear
in
our
language
and
other
than
that
I'm,
not
hearing
other,
and
then
you
know.
C
Of
course,
I'd
love
to
you
know,
look
into
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
fair
housing
concerns,
but
with
those
two
things
in
mind,
I
think
if
we
get
answers
on
that
we're
in
a
good
place.
Thank
you.
A
AJ
So
I
mean,
of
course,
we
have
and
we
have
licensing
for
health
care,
and
we
want
that
and
it,
but
it's
it's
the
other
type
of
housing
that
we're
talking
about,
and
we
need
to
have
it
and
now
that
Healthcare
and
everything
is
going
to
be
under
that
same,
you
know
umbrella
of
Licensing.
So
this
is
a
special
order.
AJ
I
would
hold
it
tonight,
but
I
can't
because
this
has
been
placed
as
a
special
or
business,
so
I
I,
don't
think
that
was
I
just
want
to
State
my
objection
again
to
having
this
place
as
a
special
or
business.
The
best
we
could
do
would
be
to
table
it
this
evening,
so
we
can
get
more
answers
as
opposed
to
seeing
this
rush
through.
There's
no
other
City
doing
this.
This
needs
we
need
it's
been
stated
tonight.
No
one
else
is
doing
this.
This
needs
to
be
looked
at
far
more
carefully.
Thank
you.
A
A
C
I
will
move
discussion
of
item
SP2,
a
discussion
regarding
the
use
of
2603
Sheridan
Road,
commonly
known
as
the
Harley
Clark
mansion.
AL
Good
evening,
members
of
city
council,
Nicholas
Cummings
Corporation
Council
just
wanted
to
clarify
some
of
the
comments
that
have
been
made
in
public
comment
at
this
meeting
in
previous.
This
matter
is
before
you
tonight,
because,
as
the
city's
lawyer,
it's
my
responsibility
to
actually
seek
guidance
from
my
client.
AL
The
administration
Public
Works
committee
did
give
staff
direction
to
negotiate
a
lease
with
James
Jensen
and
to
bring
that
lease
back,
so
they
could
be
voted
on
by
city
council.
However,
at
no
point
has
staff
received
direction
as
to
what
the
city
wants.
In
that
lease,
the
only
thing
that
we've
been
given
is
a
lease
drafted
by
the
tenant
and
an
opportunity
to
comment
on
that
lease,
as
staff
staff
doesn't
own
the
property.
AL
Stewards
of
the
city
on
behalf
of
the
residents
own
the
property,
so
it's
not
up
to
staff
to
determine
what
to
do
with
the
property.
It's
up
to
you
and
I
had
not
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
all
of
you
to
find
out
what
we
want
in
that
lease.
So
that's
why
it's
on
discussion
tonight
as
a
special
order
of
business,
because
I
would
not
be
doing
my
job
I'd
be
probably
committing
malpractice
if
I
didn't
come
talk
to
you
to
find
out
what
we
wanted
in
that
lease.
AL
So
the
memorandum
that's
placed
before
you
asks
some
questions
that
came
up
as
staff
concerns
as
to
what
we
wanted
to
do
with
the
lease
what
the
city
wants
to
do
with
the
lease.
It's
very
rare
that
the
tenant
dictates
the
terms
of
a
lease
the
owner
tends
to
dictate
the
terms
of
the
lease.
So
we
are
asking
the
corporate
authorities
this
evening
to
tell
staff
what
they
want
in
the
lease
so
that
we
can
negotiate
that
lease
with
James
Jensen.
AL
It's
not
an
opportunity
to
try
and
not
give
Jen's
Jensen
a
lease,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
questions
that
city
council
has
not
had
an
opportunity
to
answer
such
as.
Does
the
city
want
to
bifurcate
the
property
if
it
causes
harm
to
the
opportunity
to
try
and
do
something
with
the
mansion?
Does
the
city
want
to
put
out
another
RFP?
AL
All
of
these
things
have
not
been
considered
by
this
body
in
order
for
us
to
try
and
negotiate
a
lease.
So
that
is
what
we
are
hoping
to
discuss
this
evening
included
in
the
packet
is
an
exhibit
of
the
survey
of
the
property.
Contrary
to
popular
belief,
you
will
see
in
the
packet
there's
a
it's
there's,
a
blue
marking,
which
was
meant
to
be
the
leasehold
for
artists
book
house.
AL
AL
Additionally,
Kate
Sterling
from
our
community
development
department
has
also
provided
other
opportunities
in
the
packet,
so
he
just
like
some
direction
from
City
Council,
in
which
direction
they
would
like
us
to
go
happy
to
draft
the
lease
and
work
with
Jen's
Jensen
to
get
those
terms
together
in
time
for
the
deadline
that
was
presented
to
us
of
February
27th.
A
K
C
C
E
C
C
Our
process
to
you
know,
have
a
committee
and
I'm
not
really
saying
this
to
you
and
I
call
them
facing
you,
but
I
think
it
undermines,
and
so
I'm
really
saying
this
to
my
colleagues
here
that
I
think
we
should
have
a
discussion
about
this
I
think
you
know
it's
it's
worthwhile
to
get
the
feedback
of
everyone
on
on
this,
but
I
do
think
that
the
committee
took
an
action
and
it
would
undermine
our
process
it
under
mine,
our
democratic
values,
in
the
legislative
process,
to
not
allow
that
committee's
direction
to
to
move
forward
and
then
have
it
come
to
council,
and
we
can
take
a
vote
here
on
that
and
if
it
fails
here
if
it
passes
here,
you
know
that's
the
process,
but
I
wouldn't
want
us
to
stray
too
far
from
that,
because
we
took
an
action,
we
we
put
a
belief
out
into
the
community
and
I
think
you
know
that
we
should.
C
We
should
let
that
that
hold
that
take
hold
and
that
Pro
and
that
part
of
the
process
play
out,
however,
to
where
we
are
now
I
think
the
direction
that
I
recall
from
Administration
Public
Works
was
to
and
I'm
looking
at,
exhibit
2-0
or
two
zero.
Two
twenty
three
is
this
from
the
packet
right
is
that
I'm
sorry
I'm
holding
this
up?
I
C
Where
I
received
it
so
to
me
this
looks
like
a
this
is
what
they're
looking
for
this
looks
aligns
with
what
I
believed
we'd
be
turning
over.
You
know
for
the
non-exclusive
use
of
the
land,
and
so
you
know
my
direction
stands
at
what
it
was
at
Administration
and
public
works.
I
think
it's
worthwhile
to
have
a
discussion
about
the
the
house,
certainly
by
granting
a
licensure
to
I'm
sorry
a
lease
or
license
or
whatever
to
the
gin's
Jensen
Garden
group.
C
You
know
that
would
change
opportunities
for
someone
to
both
manage
the
house
and
the
grounds,
but
I
I
can't
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
do
this.
This
is
there
are
a
lot
of
City
properties
where
we
do
not
expect
the
tenant
to
manage
the
grounds.
I.
Don't
think
we
should
do
that
here.
We
have
a
group
who
you
know:
I
I
still
want
to
see
the
financial
plans.
In
my
nearing
my
time.
A
C
Minutes
two
minutes:
okay,
I
still
would
love
to
see
the
fundraising
plans
and
you
know
the
go.
Have
the
group
go
through
everything
that
have
to
go
through
if
there's
an
RFP
for
this,
but
you
know
I
think
we
should
move
forward
with
the
process
that
we
laid
out
and
I'll
Reserve
time
to
respond
to
questions
later.
Thank
you.
I'm.
N
A
AO
I
wish
I
had
re-listened
to
the
recording
for
the
a
PW
meeting.
My
recollection
was
there
was
going
to
be
the
mediation
process
between
book
house
and
Jen's
Jensen.
That
was
going
to
lead
to
the
lease
for
James
Jensen.
AO
Since
this
item
has
been
placed
on
the
agenda
tonight,
of
course
we
have
received
now
four
different
expressions
of
interest
in
the
Mansion
or
the
property,
or
some
version
thereof,
and
three
of
those
groups
were
groups
that
had
submitted
proposals
before
Evanston
lake
house
and
Gardens,
the
Evanston
conservancy,
and
then
the
one
Community,
Museum
and
I
think
there
seems
to
be
interest
among
at
least
the
lake
house
and
Gardens
and
the
Conservancy
in
working
together,
including
working
with
Jensen
Gardens.
AO
And
then
we
have
this
a
new
proposal,
new
A
New
Concept,
which
is
very
needs
a
lot
further
discussion
and
it's
quite
different
from
the
others,
a
center
for
climate
action.
That
would
be
a
public-private
partnership
between
the
city
and
northwestern's
Institute
for
sustainability
and
energy.
So
I'm.
AO
I
would
like
us
to
have
a
conversation
about
the
full,
the
whole
property
and
not
move
forward.
Yet
with
a
bifurcated
proposal
for
a
separate
lease
with
Jen's
Jensen
I
I
think
it
sounds.
It's
certainly
from
the
interest
of
a
couple
of
the
groups
that
Jens
Jensen
would
be
part
of
what
they
would,
how
they
would
move
forward.
But
I
I
would
like
us
to
take
some
time
to
hear
more
from,
for
example,
lake
house
and
Gardens
and
and
the
Conservancy
if
they
really
are
going
to
put
together
a
joint
proposal.
AO
I'd
like
to
see
what
that's
going
to
look
like.
Look
like
so
I
would.
I
would
like
us
to
have
a
couple
give
give
these
various
groups
two
months,
maybe
to
work
together
and
come
together
with
a
more
formal,
more
formal
proposals
for
us
to
consider.
So
we
make
a
decision
about
the
property
as
a
whole.
AJ
So
I
just
want
to
I'm
referencing
the
two
letters
the
one
sent
by
the
Evanston
Lake
have
some
Gardens
and
the
other
one
by
the
Conservancy
both
stating
that
they'd
like
to
see
a
lease
move
forward
for
the
Jen's
Jensen
Gardens
I'm
also
concerned
about
the
legislative
process
that
we
did
give
instructions
to
create
a
lease
for
the
grounds,
the
Coach
House
and
the
on
The
Grotto,
and
that
was
supposed
to
come
back
and
then
we
would
vote
on
that.
AJ
And
then
we
would
have
this
discussion
here
and
that
could
be
you
know,
then
we
could
either
vote
it
down
or
voted
up
or
we
could
amend
it.
So
I
feel
like
that's
the
process
that
needs
to
carry
forward.
I
feel
like
it's
being
thwarted
this
evening,
so
I
think
that
needs
to
go
forward.
We
and
again
anything
can
happen
here
once
it
comes
back,
but
it's
supposed
to
work
it
out
so
that
all
the
legalese
are
taken
care
of
in
agreement
with
the
Jen's
Jensen
Garden
group.
AJ
That
was
the
instructions
so
I
I
just
asked
that
we
let
that
play
out
and
again
it
can
be
amended.
It
can
be
voted
down
and
we
can
continue
to
solicit
I
agree
with
you,
Alderman
Ravel,
to
work
with
the
groups
that
have
you
know,
made
amazing
proposals
for
the
house.
Nothing
precludes
that
here
with
following
our
legislative
process,
the
Democratic
legislative
process
that
has
already
begun
in
APW.
Thank
you.
Mr.
AL
Respectfully
Once
the
lease
is
crafted
and
brought
to
this
body.
It
will
be
irresponsible
to
try
and
renegotiate
that
lease
from
the
Deus
we've
had
this
conversation
with
other
leases
or
not
leases
but
other
contracts.
We
try
to
change
the
terms
or
wanted
to
amend
the
contract
that
was
before
the
body
at
that
point,
it's
too
late.
AL
I
need
that
feedback
now
in
order
to
try
and
negotiate
with
Jen's
Jensen
beforehand,
rather
than
bringing
the
lease
to
you
incomplete
without
feedback
from
the
entire
body
and
trying
to
amend
it
after
the
fact
it's
just
it's
not
I,
certainly
respect
the
Democratic
process.
This
is
why
it's
on
discussion
for
tonight,
so
that
I
can
get
direction
and
staff
can
get
direction
in
how
we
want
to
move
forward.
With
this
lease.
G
Dealing
with
this
process
just
comes
to
mind:
I
I'm,
thinking
less
about
the
leasing
and
I
do
think
it's
important
for
us
to
take
a
moment
to
think
about
process
for
the
reasons
that
have
been
described
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
out
of
order
for
us
to
be
discussing
it
and
in
fact,
I
took
a
little
peek
I
appreciate
that
it
is
on
for
discussion
and
not
introduction
to
action.
I
think
then
it
would
would
in
some
ways
some
sense
be
be
inappropriate.
G
I
think
probably
what
should
have
been
done
at
APW
is
that
you
know.
Hopefully,
next
time
staff
feels
comfortable
coming
to
APW
and
just
saying
look.
We
would
feel
a
lot
more
comfortable
if
this,
if
we
got
direction
from
the
full
Council
and
not
just
the
committee,
I
think
that
would
have
been
appropriate
and
then
we
could
have
considered
that
at
APW
and
made
that
decision
and
it
because
I
understand,
like
you,
want
the
APW
I
think
what
is
it
four
of
us
on
APW
five,
you
know
you'll
get.
G
You
might
get
different
feedback
if
you
discuss
it
with
the
full
body.
So
I
can
certainly
understand
that
I
think
because
clear
Direction,
I
believe
clear
Direction
was
given.
There
should
have
been
a
good
faith
attempt
to
try
to
come
up
with
some
lease,
because
that
was
the
direction
of
the
committee
and
if,
if
you,
if
I
think,
if
staff
needed
more
information,
it
should
have
sought
that
from
that
committee
and
but
I,
don't
think
this
is
out
of
order.
G
So
I
I
again
I
just
want
to
use
this
as
an
opportunity
to
to
kind
of
partner
with
staff
up
here
to
figure
out
how
we
can
address
this
next
time.
But
yeah
I.
Think
if,
if,
if,
if,
if,
if
Direction
was
needed,
if
additional
Direction
was
needed,
I
think
it
based
on
where
it's
at
right.
Now.
That
direction
should
have
been
given
provided
by
APW,
and
if
you
wanted
to
see
direction
from
the
full
body.
AL
That
request
wasn't
a
prior
to
the
APW
meeting
on
the
28th
and
actually
was
even
discussed
with
the
proposed
tenant.
AL
AL
It
was
not
clear
Direction
given,
unfortunately,
though,
at
APW
as
to
what
to
put
in
the
lease,
and
so
the
only
lease
that
we
had
was
one
that
was
requested
by
the
tenant.
Someone
requested
the
tenant
have
a
lease
drafted
and.
E
AL
But
that's
why
we're
here
asking
the
questions
that
are
in
a
memo?
Do
we
want
fundraising
goals?
Do
we
want
exclusive
use
of
the
property?
Do
we
want
the
property
to
be
leased
for
a
dollar
but
still
allow
for
Revenue
by
this
nonprofit
like
these
are
the
questions
that
we
need
to
ask
in
order
for
us
to
draft
a
competent
lease.
AK
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I'm,
not
sure
where
to
begin
here
yeah.
This
is
not
the
discussion
that
anyone
up
here
or
in
the
audience
wanted
to
be
having
yeah,
but
nonetheless,
we
find
ourselves
here,
and
you
know,
I've
made
it
clear.
I
think
that
at
the
end
of
this
process,
you
know,
if
all
goes
well,
that
we
will
have
a
place
for
the
gents
Jensen
group.
You
know,
given
the
amount
of
time
and
effort
they've
put
into
this
project.
We'd
be
foolish,
not
to
you
know,
find
a
way
to
include
them.
AK
If
we
can
technically
I
think
they
voted.
A
and
PW
was
to
negotiate
a
lease
not
to
execute
a
lease
and
I'm
really
sympathetic
to
council
member
revell's
position
about
not
wanting
to
bifurcate
at
this
point,
because
we
right
now
we're
talking
about
one
piece
of
a
pizza.
We
have
the
whole
pizza
to
sell
and
as
I've
used
this
analogy
with
some
other
folks,
I
would
rather
try
and
sell
a
whole
pizza
than
a
pizza
that
has
one
piece
already
taken
out
of
it.
AK
We've
got
somebody
lined
up
for
that
one
piece
and
that's
great
so
I'm
wondering
if
you
know
the
Middle
Road
here
is
to
perhaps
negotiate
a
lease
with
the
Jensen
group
but
hold
off
and
signing
that
until
we've
gone
through
another
process
of
hearing
from
you
know,
hearing
proposals
from
folks
who
want
the
entire
property
or
want
the
building
at
least
I
should
say
it's
a
mansion
thrown
that
out
as
a
suggestion,
yeah
I'm,
not
sure.
If
that's
a
good
idea
or
not
that's
all.
For
now,.
AP
AP
The
I
mean
they're,
all
very
appropriate
I
mean
they're
the
types
of
questions
that
we
asked
of
the
applicants
that
we
looked
at
for
the
Harley,
Clark
mansion
and
so
I
agree
with
Alderman
a
council
member
Revell
that
we
need
some
time
to
think
this
over
I
mean
the
facts,
have
just
changed
on
us
really
dramatically
and
we're
back
to
oh
gosh,
even
before
Eleanor
was
on
the
council
and
and
I
remember
those
days.
So
we,
but
we
have
some
good
good
entities
that
are
coming
forward.
AP
I
think
we
have
to
start
we're
really
starting
almost
from
scratch
again,
but
we
know
we
know
a
lot
more
information
than
we
did
before,
and
certainly
I
would
be
interested
in
having
Jen's
Jensen
Gardens
be
Pro,
be
a
part
of
the
the
whole
picture
going
forward,
but
I
think
that
we
don't
give
ourselves
the
proper
opportunity
to
look
at
this.
From
the
the
standpoint
of
the
whole
picture
or
the
whole
pizza
as
Jonathan
says,
if
we,
if
we
move
forward
with
just
one
portion
of
this,
that's
not
what
we
did
before.
AP
What
we
did
before
was
we
moved
for
forward
with
that?
The
house
with
the
idea
that
the
gardens
would
be
a
sublet,
a
sublease
of
some
sort,
I
I
think
we
want
to
make
sure
the
house
is
the
primary
goal
here
and
then
that
obviously
the
gardens
are
an
important
secondary
portion
of
this.
But
we
need
to
hear
from
people
who
are
are
just
learning
like
a
month
later
that
guess
what
Harley
Clark
is
open
again.
AL
Mr
Mayor
I
certainly
hear
the
comments
from
councilmember
Wynn
and
nuzma
and
Revell.
However,
staff
has
received
direction
from
the
apnw
committee,
so
we
have
to
come
back
with
a
lease
on
the
27th,
and
so
if,
if
we
can
I
have
a
couple
of
notes
from
councilmember
Reed's
comments.
AL
If
there
are
other
items
that
the
council
from
the
memo
that
the
council
wants
to
address,
we
can
actually
make
make
sure
that
those
are
Incorporated
before
re-engaging
with
the
Gen
students
and
Gardens
group,
so
that
we
can
actually
have
a
giraffe
before
the
council
or
at
least
before
apnw,
on
the
27th.
AQ
Council
Cummings,
just
one
quick
clarification:
could
you
clarify
when
you
say
exclusive
use
and
your
concerns
with
that
language
in
the.
AL
In
the
lease,
certainly
so
right
now,
the
city
is
from
my
understanding
and
talking
to
Parks
and
Recreation
director
Audrey
Thompson.
They
may
host
programs
on
the
property,
and
so
if
the
tenant
has
exclusive
use
of
the
property,
the
city
then
needs
to
sort
of
alert
or
otherwise
seek
permission
to
host
those
programs
on
the
property.
So
again,
it
depends
on
how
we
draft
it.
AL
We
can
say
we
need
to
give
you
so
much
notice,
we're
going
to
use
the
property,
but
remember
that
we're
the
owner
we're
going
to
use
the
property,
but
the
way
that
the
leases
have
been.
The
leases
that
have
been
previously
given
starting
back
in
the
fall
were
very
tenant
friendly,
as
opposed
to
being
you
know,
owner
friendly,
okay,.
AQ
AQ
Would
it
be
helpful
if
we
did
a
straw
poll
on
the
points
that
you
need
clarification
from,
so
that
you
can
proceed
with
since
we
are
moving
forward
based
on
the
AP
and
W
decision?
Would
that
help
you?
If
you
did
a
straw
poll,
if
you
could
provide
us,
like
the
keep
talking
points
that
you
need
sure
guidance
from
that.
A
AR
Thank
you
so
much
and
I
help
hopeful
and
grateful
for
the
conversation,
but
I
too,
like
council
member
Revell
got
lost
somewhere
in
the
shuffle
remember.
The
last
thing
we
talked
about
was
the
mediation
and
so
there's
clearly
confusion
up
here.
I,
don't
think
that
is
the
fault
of
staff.
I
think
we
were
confused
on
where
we
were.
What
we
were
going
to
do.
AR
I
do
want
this
to
be
executed,
but
as
I'm
going
to
always
say
we
have
to
set
standards
and
we
have
to
have
excellence
in
everything
that
we
do
so
I
want
it
done
right,
I,
don't
want
it
done
fast,
I,
don't
want
it
done,
slow
I
want
it
done
right
and
whatever
that
looks
like
so.
Thank
you.
A
C
You
this
is
interesting.
What
draws
comments
from
everyone
on
the
council.
The
issues
that
we
all
so
I
just
want
to
remind
us
that
this
is
or
what
I'm
seeking
to
happen
is
non-exclusive
use
of
the
grounds
which,
which
means
and
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that
you
know
the
grounds
would
be
open
to
the
public.
The
city
could
use
it
that
the
folks
operating
the
Mansion
could
use
the
grounds
at
their
pleasure.
C
Just
like
any
member
of
the
public
I
guess
you
know,
except
for
during
the
hours
that
normal
parks
would
be
closed,
they'd
be
operated
just
like
a
normal
Park
and
I
I
wish
that
more
neighbors
would
choose
to
adopt
parks
and
then
for
free,
make
investments
in
the
Parks
and
make
the
parks
more
livable,
and
particularly
with
the
the
goals
of
honoring
and
keeping
the
legacy
of
someone
like
James
Jensen,
who
had
even
know
this
has
been
discussed
for
years,
really
got
to
learn
more
about
him
and
and
and
and
and
his
process
over
the
last
few
months
and.
E
C
You
know
easy
to
sell
a
pizza
that
doesn't
have
a
slice
taken
out,
but
it's
easier
to
sell
a
normal,
a
normal
sized
Pizza
than
the
world's
biggest
pizza
and
I
think
when
we
include
the
grounds
we're
making
this
on
will
be
for
anyone
to
really
take
over
and,
as
has
been
noted
by
folks,
you
know
councilmember
Winn
no
to
this
and
others
that
you
know
in
in
in
the
artist
book
house
and
other
proposals
folks
have
put
forward
having
to
sub
lease
out
the
grounds.
C
So
why
would
we
even
want
to
put
that
burden
on
someone?
We
can
figure
out
the
grounds
and
then
certainly
turn
over
the
house
to
whatever
use
we
we
see
appropriate,
so
I'd
encourage
us,
I
appreciate
Council,
Cummings
and
council
member.
AK
C
S
C
Time
is
up
and
I'll
end
now:
councilmember
Eric
Carris
suggestion
the
straw
poll
I
think
we
need
to
move
forward
with
the
process
that
APW
started,
and
you
know
folks
have
reservations.
We'll
certainly
have
an
opportunity
to
address
that
at
another
Point.
Thank
you.
AO
AO
If
we're
going
to
do
straw
polls
I'd
rather
do
a
straw
poll
on
whether
to
go
ahead
with
a
bifurcated
approach,
but
in
terms
of
some
things
that
where
I
would
like
to
have
some
input
from
the
eventual
person
entity,
that's
going
to
be
responsible
for
the
main
house.
AO
The
jenge
Jensen
proposed
lease
talks
about
fundraising
events.
Well,
how
many
because
I
would
assume
who
might
be
in
the
big
house
is
going
to
want
some
fundraising
events,
so
there
didn't
need
to
be
some
coordination,
definition
between
the
two
entities
and
and
Lessie
May,
rent
the
premises
to
third
parties
for
events
and
educational
use.
Well,
that
might
be
a
main
focus
of
the
The
Entity
that
wants
the
main
house.
So
I
mean
they're,
just
I
I,
just
don't
I
think
moving
ahead
with
the
Jen's
Jensen
lease
is,
is
really
complicated.
AO
AL
So
one
of
the
entities
that
submitted
public
comment
called
for
the
least
agents
Jensen,
but
that
least
be
subservient
to
any
primary
tenant
of
the
house.
So
how
would
that
work?
AL
We
would
have
to
get
creative
with
drafting,
but
nevertheless,
if
that's
something
that
this
body
is
interested
in
to
address
those
concerns
again,
that's
information
that
we
can
use
as
staff.
That
would
say
you
know
you
have
this
lease,
but
if
we
lease
the
house,
your
lease
is
going
to
be,
you
know,
sort
of
secondary
to
whoever
has
the
house.
If
that's
what
this
body
wants
to
happen,
and
that's
the
kind
of
information
that
that
I
would
need
in
order
to
successfully
draft
police.
AJ
First
I
just
want
to
clarify
I
think
maybe
councilmember
Winn
mentioned
that
it
was
premature
to
bring
back
a
sign
lease.
We
don't
bring
back
a
sign
lease.
We
just
bring
back
the
lease
and
then,
if
it's
approved,
then
it
goes
and
it
gets
signed
just
to
make
for
the
public,
okay
and
then
right.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
pub
I'm
figured
and
then
with
regard
to
the
Conservancy.
That
said
that
what
they
absolutely
want
to
see
the
Jen
Jensen
Gardens
lease
go
forward.
AJ
They
don't
want
to
impede
that
I.
It
seems
to
me
that
there
could
be
a
clause.
Should
the
Conservancy
secure
the
lease
that
this
would
be.
A
component
of
that
particular
group,
so
I
think
there's
many
ways
to
go
forward
with
this
and
I
think.
That's
it
so
I
hope
we
can
move
this
back
to
APW
and
again
I
like
what
Juan
council
member
hadakaris's
idea
that
we
can
add
some
fruit
to
help
to
help
you
with
the
lease
I.
Also
think
I
wonder
if
we
should.
AJ
You
know,
ask
the
the
tenant
the
the
proposed
tenant
to
comment.
I
think
there
were
some
Charles
I
guess
regarding,
like
the
city's
I,
think
the
city,
it's
already
in
there
right
that
the
city
would
always
have
access
to
veto
any
activities
or
could
you
address?
I
mean
there
were
some
concerns
about
access
to
the
grounds
in
the
city's
control.
W
You
know
willy-nilly,
all
on
my
own
everything
that
I
did
I
court
before
it
used
to
be
with
with
Paul
D'agostino
and
the
there's
also
a
body
called
The
Lighthouse
Landings
complex
committee,
which
is
made
up
of
a
bunch
of
groups
that
all
have
interest
in
the
site,
including
the
the
lighthouse
Park
District.
W
So
it
was
always
a
matter
of
coordination.
It
was
always
a
matter
of
getting
permission
from
City
staff
and
working
with
City
staff
and
everything
I
did
and
I
tell
you.
We
spent
life
on
that
gardening
I,
maybe
spent
like
over
forty
thousand
dollars,
okay,
not
to
mention
thousands
of
hours
of
time
over
the
last
three
and
a
half
years.
So
I
am
very
aware
of
the
level
of
cooperation
and
access.
That's
needed.
I've
talked
with
this
and
many
times
with,
with
with
parks
with
Parks
and
Rec,
but
I
think
I.
W
Think
one
of
the
most
important
things
is
this
is
the
lease
we
were
asked
to
bring
Elise
to
the
city.
This
is
just
a
document
right
that
and
the
point
is
it's
a
starting
point
and
there
have
been
comments
made
about
the
content
of
the
lease
Well.
Normally
I,
don't
know
my
attorneys
Kirkland
and
Ellis,
who
are
the
best
law
firms,
if
not
the
best
law
firm
in
in
Chicago
I
sent
them
the
list.
W
W
Let
me
there's
the
comment
that
that's
being
referred
to
is
Lisi
shall
have
the
exclusive
right
to
use
the
premises
for
all
lawful
purposes
and
will
operate
the
premises
as
a
community
center
within
the
definition
of
the
city
code.
Section
6183,
by
providing
a
facility
that
is
open
to
the
public
and
is
used
without
limitation,
without
limitation
for
community
recreation,
gardening,
Landscaping
conservation,
ecological
and
neutral,
and
nature
education,
events
and
activities,
and
fundraising
so
and
and
the
definition.
W
The
city's
definition
of
a
community
center
is
a
place
structure
or
area
or
other
facility
that
is
open
to
the
public
under
jurisdiction
of
a
public,
not
or
non-profit
agency,
and
is
used
for
community
recreation.
Education
in
our
service
activities.
A
community
center
may
include,
but
is
not
limited
to
the
following,
and
you
know
it
goes
through
the
list.
So
the
intention
is
to
operate
this
space
like
a
public
park.
W
The
other
thing,
I,
think
is
important
to
be
aware
of
is
the
other
thing
is
this
Jen's
Jensen
Gardens
will
maintain
a
calendar
for
use
of
the
lawn
areas.
Priority
will
be
given
to
jjde
and
the
Ecology
Center.
Who
is
the
other
user
of
this
space?
All
other
users
must
be
pre-approved
by
jjde
to
be
added
to
a
calendar,
but
it
says-
and
these
are
the
third
parties-
third-party
users
must
get
a
special
event
permit
from
the
City
of
Evanston.
W
Third-Party
users
must
comply
with
laws
of
the
state
of
Illinois
and
the
City
of
Evanston
and
any
and
all
rules
set
forth
by
parks,
recreation
and
community
service
department.
So
all
these
agencies
have
to
do
all
the
things
that
they
would
do
on
any
other
Lakefront
space.
They
said
their
third
party
users
must
all
have
required
permits
and
licenses
which
they
get
from
the
city.
They
pay
the
city
and
get
the
permit.
They
apply
to
the
city
event
operation.
In
some
cases
a
event
Insurance
may
be
required.
W
So
and
in
most
cases
there
is
some
insurance
required
by
Third
price,
which
would
be
verified,
but
by
the
city
because
they
have
to
go
through
the
process
with
the
city.
So
off-site
parking
and
shuttle
services
might
be
an
option
for,
in
some
cases,
I've
worked
this
out
before
to
make
sure
it's
possible.
Orrington
school
parking
lot
is
available
for
free
during
summer.
W
Cons
a
construction
schedule,
a
fundraising
schedule.
We
were
required
to
provide
a
construction
budget
which
was
developed
by
by
WB
Olson.
We
have
we
have
preliminary
floor
plans
that
were
done
by
ifler
and
Associates,
so
we
have
done
all
this
stuff
so
we're
just
not
like
some
fly-by-night
groups.
That's
jumping
here,
trying
to
take
something
from
the
city
we're
trying
to
provide
something
to
the
city.
That's
high
quality
and
and
funded
by
philanthropy
and
I.
Think
that
and
I
have
to
State.
W
The
difference
is
is
that
there
are
certain,
sometimes
when
you
want
to
go
in
higher
quality
things,
it's
something
that
you
wouldn't
expect
taxpayers
to
cover
and
we
want
to
do
something:
that's
really
really
nice
and
therefore
we
need
to
have
the
Coach
House
as
a
center
of
operation.
So
it's
like
our
church.
You
know
it's
it's
the
place
where
we
congregate.
It's
a
place
where
we
bring
people
in
and
train
them,
it's
a
place
where
we
can.
W
We
bring
together
all
the
other
Steward
programs
that
are
keeping
Evanston,
green
and
beautiful,
and
they
would
all
work
out
of
this
site
and
I
know
them.
All.
Most
of
them
are
on
the
board
of
directors
of
gen
Jensen
Gardens.
So
all
I'm
saying
is
I.
Can't
imagine
that
this
kind
of
thing,
this
kind
of
operation
wouldn't
be
a
fantastic
example
and
wouldn't
be,
and
for
the
quality
that
we
would
expect
in
a
mansion
and
I
think
that
anybody
who
would
be
interested
in
a
mansion
would
actually
be
incredibly.
W
AJ
You
thank
you
and
I.
Just
do
want
to
say
really
quickly.
I
just
want
to
express
deep
gratitude,
because
we've
talked
a
lot
about
this
and
gone
back
and
forth,
but
I
just
thank
you.
Mr
Smith,
for
your
incredible
hard
work,
labor,
expertise,
fundraising
I!
You
know
to
think
what
it
might
look
like.
Had
you
not
been
on
those
grounds
working
and
creating
a
community
effort.
AL
P
A
Next,
the
next
person
seeking
to
speak
is
councilmember
Burns,
who
has
three
minutes
left.
G
Yeah
I'm
still
just
stuck
on
process
I
mean
I
still,
I,
understand
the
judgment
and
the
consideration
that
went
into
one
in
the
full
body
to
weigh
in
on
this
I
think
the
thing
that
I'm
I'm
I
keep
going
back
and
forth
from
my
mind
about,
is
you
know
most
of
what
we
do
unless
it's
you
know
Exempted
from
unless
we
can
discuss
it
in
closed
sessions.
G
It
starts
off
in
draft
mode
right
and
works
its
way
through
the
process,
and
so
all
of
what
you're
requesting
from
the
full
body
now
would
have.
Eventually,
this
same
body
would
have
had
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
at
a
later
point,
and
this
could
appeal
this
could
feel
to
the
community
as
if
we're
kind
of
we're,
leaping
ahead
before
allowing
the
standing
committee.
G
You
know
to
weigh
in
on
this
issue
and
so
I
think.
That's
the
only
thing
that
I
I
keep
going
back
and
forth
with
in
terms
of
what
is
what
is
the
best
process
and.
G
If
we
I
think
next
time,
if
we
want
these
type
of
leases
to
go
to
the
full
body,
then
you
know-
maybe
you
know
the
mayor
as
chair
can
special
order
of
business
like
you've
done
before
like
it's.
This
is
really
important.
Would
you
say
no
I'm
saying
even
for
introduction
like
to
take
more
official
action
on
it
like
this?
G
Is
such
an
important
thing,
I
think
now
it's
on
for
discussion
like
this
is
such
an
important
thing
that
we
want
to
remove
this
out
of
the
standing
committee,
because
we
want
the
full
Council
to
weigh
in
on
it.
That's
not
what
we've
done
to
date
and
so
I
think
at
the
very
least,
we
should
have
had
a
similar
item
on
at
APW
tonight.
That's
where
I
want
to
really
close
it.
G
I
I,
just
reviewed
it
again
and
I
didn't
see
anything
on
it,
and
so
I
think
that
committee
gave
clear
Direction
and
instead
of
even
something
going
back
tonight,
maybe
it
could
have
been
an
item
on
the
APW
agenda
as
well
as
on
the
council
agenda,
but
we
didn't
have
anything.
You
know
we
didn't
even
get
updated
APW
and
then
we've
had
this
discussion
tonight,
so
I
think
at
the
very
least,
there
should
have
been
some
discussion
at
APW
about
this
hey.
G
You
know
what
we
tried
to
work
out
at
least
there's
still
some
more
information.
We
need
we're
going
to
take
it
to
council
to
get
some
of
that
discussion,
some
of
that
feedback,
and
then
you
know
we'll
we'll
we'll
bring
it
back
to
this
committee.
So
just
thoughts
on
process
like
I
said:
that's
the
only
thing
I'm
still
mulling
over
but
I
understand
that
again
that
the
Judgment
that
went
into
wanting
to
you
know
give
feedback
from
the
full
body.
You
know,
I
think
it
was
the
right
one.
A
Council
member
newsma
with
three
and
a
half
minutes
left.
AK
AL
Not
not
to
my
understanding
they
had
an
agreement
with
artist
book
house
and
I.
Don't
know
where
that
stands
now
that
artist
book
house
is
terminating
their
lease.
Okay
and
I
was
actually
informed
that
the
city
actually
has
to
terminate
their
lease,
because
the
lease
doesn't
have
a
clause
for
them
to
terminate
police.
So
the
city-
well,
I,
guess
we'll
take
those
steps
as
part
of
trying
to
culminate
this
lease
with
our
with
Jensen
Gardens.
But
it's
not
my
understanding.
If
there's
a
formal
agreement
in
place
currently.
AK
Okay,
thank
you.
So
if
my
math
is
correct,
Mr
Smith
has
been
doing
work
on
the
Gardens
at
at
the
property
for
34
years
or
thereabouts.
You
said
30
plus
four
without
any
kind
of
agreement
right
and
that's
probably
not
a
good
thing.
We
do
want
an
agreement.
There
needs
to
be
something
in.
You
know
writing
between
our
two
parties
to
protect
both
of
us,
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
it's
been
30
years
plus
four
more
recently.
AL
Councilmember
Burns
point
I
have
Direction
I
gotta
have
a
lease
I'm,
trying
to
figure
out
the
terms
that
the
city
wants
in
that
lease
tonight.
I,
certainly
respect
that
you
know
there's
a
bigger
process
that
the
council
may
want
to
consider,
but
there
was
not
an
opportunity
for
closed
session.
Anything
like
that.
So.
AK
E
AK
We
had,
if
we're
forced
by
an
action
of
AP
and
w
to
move
ahead
with
the
lease
I
would
only
be
comfortable
signing
that
lease
if
it
allowed
us
the
flexibility
we
needed,
while
the
rest
of
the
process
plays
out.
If
that's
a
subservient
clause
or
some
whatever
the
creative
language
you
were
thinking
about,
putting
together
so
I
hope.
That's
at
least
from
one
council
member.
Some
actionable
feedback.
AP
I
think
that
a
number
of
items
have
just
come
up
in
that
Mr
Smith
was
discussing
that
are
not
in
the
lease
that
I
would
want
to
make
sure
are
in
the
lease.
If
you
I
would
review
the
the
video
and
just
have
all
of
those
things
that
that
Mr
Smith
just
mentioned
that
are
not
in
the
at
least
has
to
be
in
the
in
this
lease
I
think
it
has
to
be
non-exclusive
use.
AP
We
need
to
understand
what
and
what
non-exclusive
means
can
people
come
and
sit
down
and
have
a
picnic
there
and
treat
it
just
like
a
public
park?
AP
We
need
to
figure
out
what
is
the
fundraising
of
Jen's,
Jensen
and
Gardens
if,
if
they
have
a
projection
of
that
I'd
like
to
know
what
that
is
any
of
the
other
materials
that
Mr
Smith
mentioned
that
he
already
has
in
his
possession
I'd
like
to
see
that
as
part
of
the
packet
with
the
next
one
I,
don't
think
we
should
do
any
more
negotiating
of
the
lease
up
here
from
the
diocese
tonight.
A
Well,
speaking
of
moving
forward,
no
one
is
requesting
to
speak
for
a
first
or
second
time
so
we'll
go
to
third
cracks,
beginning
with
council
member
Revell
with
a
minute
left.
Okay,.
AO
Just
real
briefly,
I
was
going
to
call
on
council
member
when,
if
she
can
help
me
remember,
but
when
we
talked
about
Harley
when
I
first
came
on
the
council
way
back
in
2016
and
we
started
talking
about
what
to
do
about
Harley
Clark,
the
discussion
was
always
by
the
council
as
a
whole.
I,
don't
think
it
ever
went
into
us
one
of
the
standing
committees
and
then
came
to
the
council.
So
that's.
E
AP
AJ
So,
with
regard
to
I
think
what
Jonathan
mentioned
about
subservient
lease
I
would
say
yes,
but
only,
but
according
to
whoever
should
secure
the
lease
to
the
house,
I
would
say
according
to
that,
like,
for
example,
the
Conservancy
made
that
clear,
but
should
like,
but
the
other
group
was
seemed
very
seemed
perfectly
fine
with
having
the
two
separate
leases.
So
I
would
say.
However,
you
can
write
that
so,
according
to
you
know
the
will
or
the
interest
of
the
organization
that
would
secure
the
house
and
I
also
want
to
say
so.
AJ
There
were
clearly
some
flaws
in
the
way
you
know
we're,
seeing
now
that
things
weren't
ironed
out,
like
with
regard
to
the
Junctions
and
Gardens
that
that
didn't
that
needed
to
be
so
maybe
this
is
a
stronger
Way
Forward,
as
opposed
to
the
way
the
last
Council
went
forward
with
this
I
think
it'll
be
really
nice
for
everybody
to
know
that
these
historic,
beautiful
gardens
that
mean
so
much
are
in
good
hands
as
we
move
forward
this
time.
So
I
think
I
think
this
is
looking
positive.
Thank
you.
A
C
A
A
Didn't
say:
they're
transferable,
then,
in
that
case
next
is
councilman
new
smell
with
215
left.
Thank.
AK
You
Mr
Mayor,
so
we're
getting
into
the
details
here.
I
want
to
make
it
fairly
clear
that
you
know
we're
releasing
the
the
buildings,
the
Coach
House
and
the
greenhouse
right
the
grounds
themselves.
Are
they
a
part
of
the
lease
or
not
if
they're
part
of
the
lease
I
want
them
to
remain,
as
for
all
intents
and
purposes
be
a
park
as
they
are
now
so.
AL
The
request
the
rest
of
the
tenant
is
to
lease
the
grounds
which
would
require
to
us
to
take
the
survey
they've
completed
and
actually
have
someone
write,
a
legal
description
for
it
for
us
to
put
in
the
lease
our
city
code
requires
any
lease
over
20
years.
They
have
a
legal
description,
so
we
would
take
that
survey
which
actually
just
I
think
councilmember
Reed
has
it.
AK
G
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
both
my
colleagues
I
believe
I
understand
this
already
before
the
public,
because
there's
been
a
lot
shared
up
here
today.
Is
that
again,
the
the
normal
process
which
this
is
on
allows
for
Amendment,
so
I
don't
want.
There's
been
some
language
up
here.
It's
like
this
is
the
last
opportunity
to
well.
AC
G
Abw
is
going
to
discuss
this
like
this,
then
we're
going
to
it's
a
normal
process
like
we
can
make
amendments
at
any
point
and
as
councilmember
Kelly
said,
we
could
even
vote
it
down
if
there's
support
to
do
that.
I
do
also
want
to
say
that
I
would
imagine,
because
this
item
is
going
to
the
full
body
that
we
have
the
power
to
remove
something
from
a
committee.
G
I,
don't
know
how
often
that
happens
if
at
all,
but
I
think
just
what
I'm
looking
for
is
more
decisive
action
from
the
council
if
it
would
like
to
move
in
a
certain
direction
that
we
just
take
official
action
and
do
that
and
then
that
you
also
will
provide
more
clear
direction
for
staff
in
the
future.
So
that's
all
just
talk
a
process
tonight.
A
A
All
right,
oh
with
30
seconds,
left,
councilmember
Revell.
AO
I,
just
not
quite
sure
when
to
say
this,
I
mean
I
wanna,
think
that
we're
finished
with
a
discussion
about
the
jenge
Jensen
lease
part,
but
I,
guess
what?
What
kind
of
message
do
we
want
to
send
to
the
four
groups
that
have
sent
sent
us
expressions
of
interest
for
the
full
for
the?
How
for
the
mainly
for
the
mansion
and
in
particular
the
center
for
climate
action?
Do
we
want
to
encourage
that
group
to
flesh
out
the
proposal
and
come
to
us
I
I?
C
I
think
I
think
that's
I,
think
that's
a
wonderful
question
to
ask
because
I
think
we're
not
just
giving
direction
on
the
lease
we're
given
the
the
point
of
this
discussion
is
further
on
so
I
would
say:
I
think
we
should
do
an
RFP
or
we
should
begin
the
process
for
an
RFP
for
the
house
for
the
Mansion
itself,
or
maybe
something
a
little
less
formal
but
I
think
an
RFP
process
or
something
adjacent
to
it
makes
sense.
C
A
A
I
mean
I
certainly
agree
with
that,
and
I
also
agree
that
we
should
I
would.
Let
me
just
say
this
as
directly
as
possible.
A
I
do
not
believe
we
are
in
a
position
to
be
turning
down
interest
on
this
on
this
situation
that
we
find
ourselves
in,
and
so
my
my
view,
which
I
think
was
sort
of
the
body
language
up
here,
was,
if
folks
are
interested,
we
should
make
it
clear
that
we're
interested
in
in
hearing
all
all
ideas
just
before
we
move
on
I
I,
want
to
say
that
I
think
the
I
think
this
discussion
was
a
real
Vindication
of
staff's
requests
to
have
this
special
order
of
business
created
that
there's
clearly
a
real
diversity
of
views
here.
N
A
Normal
lease
right-
this
is
a
lease
that
gets
a
lot
more
kind
of
public
interest
than
almost
any
other
that
we
would
consider
and
we're
divided
I
think
that's
that's
an
honest
characterization
and
so
for
at
least
to
arrive,
fully
negotiated
based
upon
input
from
five
council
members
and
the
counterparty
and
then
show
up
here.
Dead
on
Arrival
would
would
not
have
been
in
anyone's
best
interest.
A
My
own
view
is:
we
need
to
act
in
such
a
way
as
to
keep
our
options
as
open
as
possible
that
we
shouldn't
take
decisions
now
that
will
close
doors
because
again
we're
we're
in
a
tricky
situation,
and
we
want
to
leave
as
many
options
available
to
us
as
we
try
to
reach
favorable
resolution
for
the
whole
Community
I
hope
we
don't
put
ourselves
into
a
corner
that
forestalls
potentially
exciting
options
down
the
road.
A
A
C
Yes,
thank
you
I,
so
we
had
we
had
folks
Clump
during
public
comment
who
made
notes
on
regulations
relating
to
cannabis
consumption
in
our
city.
They
compared
this
to
another
ordinance
that
will
be
coming
before
soon,
which
is
a
cannabis
consumption,
lounges,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
they
they
noted
at
the
Human
Services
committee
was
that
you
know
oh
they're,
strong,
at
least
from
these
groups.
They're
strong
opposition
to
cannabis,
consumption
lounges
this
ordinance
and
and
they
also
recommend
that
we
should
mirror
our.
C
Ordinances
relating
to
the
use
of
tobacco
that
are
cannabis,
use
and
tobacco,
you
should
be
mirrored
that
that's
the
correct
and,
and
so
I
had
conversations
with
the
groups
and
so
there's
a
recommendation,
particularly
since
we
don't
allow
cannabis
consumption
lounges.
Now
that
we
would
allow
open
air
consumption
of
canvas
that
would
be
better
than
a
consumption
Lounge.
Is
that
correct?
So
I?
Don't
think.
C
There's
support
on
this
Council
to
allow
open
air
consumption
of
cannabis,
although
that
would
meet
the
goals
of
our
Clean
Air
Act,
because
there's
open
air
consumption
of
tobacco
and
that
again
diverts
folks
away
from
consuming
inside,
and
so
as
we
adopt.
This
I
think
it's
important
to
remember
that
we
have
a
legal
substance
with
in
cannabis
that
we
do
not
allow
folks
to
consume
Outdoors
similar
to
alcohol.
C
We
don't
allow
folks
to
consume
alcohol
Outdoors,
but
we
do
allow
folks
to
consume
alcohol
in
the
privacy
of
their
own
home
and
in
a
bar
with
cannabis.
The
only
place
that
someone
could
consume
legally
is
in
the
privacy
of
their
own
home
and
that
is
still
indoors,
and
that
is
still
in
a
place.
That
does
not
have
air
filtration
like
cannabis
consumption
lounges.
Now,
unless
there
is
appetite
to
allow
open
air
consumption
of
cannabis,
then
you
know,
maybe
we
can
reconsider.
C
I
would
reconsider
my
supportive
cannabis
consumption
lounges,
but
until
we
get
to
that
point,
I
think
we
need
to.
You
know
I
just
want
to
note
this
here
as
we're
on
this
and
and
then
lastly,
I
had
a
lot
of
great
conversations
with
our
Police
Department
got
to
work
really
closely
with
Chief
Stewart
and
particularly
Sergeant
safiere
on
this
ordinance
there
is
still
one
place
of
where
I
just
want
to
flag.
My
concern,
which
is
and
I
have
an
email
set
up
here.
C
We
don't
allow
folks,
as
recently
as
added
back
in
by
an
amendment
of
councilmember
newsma,
that
open
containers
of
alcohol,
alcoholic
Beverly
beverages
would
not
be
allowed
in
public
buildings.
Parks,
beaches
highways
streets,
alleys,
sidewalks,
Parkways,
public
parking,
lots
I
just
want
to
note
with
that
that,
by
putting
that
language
in
there,
we
are
undermining
the
language
that
we
amended
and
I
think
that
the
police
department
supported
that
this
Council
supports
that
would
allow
people
to
transport
can't
or
or
alcohol
in
their
trunk
right.
C
It's
currently
allowed
under
state
law
that
folks
could
put
a
a
previously
opened
container
of
alcohol
in
their
trunk
or
in
the
non-passenger
portion
of
their
vehicle
and
drive
with
it.
That's
fine!
Those
that's
part
of
the
amendment
here,
but
now
we're
saying
you
can
put
in
your
trunk,
but
the
second.
Your
vehicle
goes
on
to
this
any
of
our
streets,
our
alley,
our
highways
or
any
public
parking
lot
you're
now
in
violation
of
the
law,
so
you
can
put
in
your
trunk.
C
But
then
your
car
can't
go
on
to
a
public
street
with
that
alcohol
in
your
car,
because
you'd
then
be
violating
this.
This
ordinance,
my
suggestion
would
be
that
we
would
add
in
the
language
just
add
in
no
person
shall
loiter
shall
have
on
his
or
her
possession.
C
You
know
property
or
personal
property,
open
containers
of
alcoholic
beverage,
Beverages
and
all
of
this
stuff,
but
they
couldn't
lawyer
with
it.
So
you
can
possess
it
and
you
can
move,
but
you
can't
stop
and
stand
around
and
potentially
consume.
Is
that
my
time
up?
C
Okay,
well,
I
will
wrap
up
here
and
so
I
I
would
move
that
we
would
add
in
and
I'll
send
this
now,
but
loiter
that
way
our
Police
Department
can
still-
and
you
know
there
isn't
necessarily
agreement
on
this,
but
our
Police
Department
would
still
be
able
to
move
along
folks
who
are
with
open
containers
of
alcohol,
but
they
would
only
be
able
to
arrest
or
find
folks
if
they
stuck
around
and
they
loitered
with
open
containers.
AL
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
A1
section
A1
of
this
particular
ordinance
deals
with
possession
of
alcohol
in
the
motor
vehicle
and
that
A2
deals
with
consumption
and
possession
of
alcohol,
although
it
doesn't
say
it
in
the
in
the
title
outside
of
a
motor
vehicle
and
so
I
think
that
goes
to
the
point
that
council
member
is
trying
to
add
in
terms
of
loitering
I
just
want
to
make
sure
the
council
wasn't
conflating
the
two
sections
we
tried
to
and
if
we
need
to
make
it
even
more
clear,
we
try
to
make
it
clear
that
one
section
dealt
with
whatever's
in
your
car
and
then
the
other
section
dealt
with
whatever's
on
your
person
and
not
necessarily
in
the
car.
AL
AO
We're
given
how
much
time
Sergeant
saw
here
has
spent
on
this
back
and
forth
with
council
member
Reed
I'm
hesitant
to
have
us
make
further
changes
without
Sergeant
Sofia.
Here,
foreign.
AP
Well,
I
am
prepared
to
vote
Yes
on
the
ordinance
that
we
have
in
our
packet,
but
as
Alderman
Revell
said
every
other
time
with
this
has
come
before
us.
We've
had
Sergeant
Sofia
Sofia
here
to
provide
us
with
the
police
perspective
on
this.
So
I.
Don't
think
that
we
should
make
any
changes
in
this
without
Sergeant
Sophie
are
being
here,
but,
as
I
said,
I
am
prepared
to
vote
Yes
on
the
ordinance.
That's
in
the
packet
tonight.
AQ
Just
for
everyone's
information,
I
met
with
Sergeant
Sophia
this
morning
about
a
different
issue
and
I
asked
him
about
this
item
and
they
are
in
support
as
the
way
it's
written
currently.
So,
let's
start
everyone
knows.
C
All
right,
thank
you,
so
I
I'll,
wrap
up
I'm
I
will
not
make
this
amendment
now.
If
I
think
we
should
clarify
that
you
know
for
a
long.
I
will
just
say
and
wrap
up
another
15
seconds
if
we're
allowing
folks
to
have
open
containers
in
the
non-passenger
portion
of
their
vehicle.
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
allow
folks
to
have
non
these.
C
You
know
open
containers
on
their
person
as
long
as
it's
not
in
as
long
as
they're
not
consuming
in
public
I
am
just
noting
for
the
record
my
position
or
my
concern
about
this.
One
particular
point:
I
worked
very
you
know,
along
with
with
Council
Cummings
and
Sergeant
Sophia,
and
everyone
else,
and
Allison
and
councilman
burns
on
this,
so
I'm
fine
being
95
percent
of
the
way
there
96
of
the
way
there.
C
A
Thank
you
see
no
for
the
discussion
with
the
clerk.
Please
take
the
role
on
the
motion,
which
is
to
pass
ordinance
13-0-23,
as
it
appears
in
the
packet
new
Amendment.
A
A
I
was
told
to
remove
item
A3
from
the
consent
agenda
because
it
did
not
pass
Council.
I
was
also
told
to
draw
attention
to
the
fact
that
there's
a
proposal
that
item
a24
have
introduction
and
action.
If
someone
would
like
to
have
me
remove
the
that
from
the
consent
agenda
as
well,
I'm
happy
to
do
so.
Okay,.
N
A
AO
C
A
A
So
this
time
we
have
A1
A3,
a24,
ss1
and
ed1
is
there
any
further
item
folks
would
like
to
see
removed.
A
AK
Mr,
chair
I'll,
move
passage
of
the
consent
agenda
which
does
not
include
items
A1,
A3,
a24,
ss1,
ed1,
and
that's
it
second
council.
A
AG
A
With
seven
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against,
the
motion
carries
and
the
consent
agenda,
except
for
those
five
items
is
passed.
This
brings
us
to
item
A1
council
member
Harris,
which
Academy
motion
here.
A
A
Six
voting
in
favor
none
voting
against
him.
One
abstention.
The
motion
carries
and
the
payroll
Bill
system
credit
card
activity
are
approved.
This
brings
us
now
to
item
a24
council
member
Harris.
Would
you
care
to
make
a
motion
to
suspend
the
rules
so
that
reduction
in
action
can
both
occur
tonight.
AR
A
AQ
A
With
seven
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
the
motion
carries
and
the
rules
are
suspended
now,
council,
member
Harris,
would
you
care
to
make
a
motion
on
this
item
for
introduction
and
action?
Yes,.
AR
A
A
C
I
will
move
item
ss1
approval
of
fiscal
year,
2023
Public
Service
funding
allocations,
including
case
management,
safety
net
and
support
services.
Second,.
A
AK
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
would
like
to
send
this
back
to
the
Social
Services
committee
to
have
another
look
and
I
believe
the
correct
action
would
be
to
make
a
motion
to
send
this
back
to
Social
Services
committee.
A
C
Thank
you.
As
a
member
of
the
social
services
committee,
I
can't
speak
for
the
committee,
I
I,
don't
know
if
we
want
this
back.
I
I
think
this
is
here
for
I
mean
it's
been.
It's
been
sent
back
to
a
committee
once
before,
I
think.
As
far
as
we
can
get
with
the
process,
I
think
we've
gotten
there
we
have
made.
There
were
some
changes
to
the
process.
C
There,
certainly
there's
a
need
for
continued
Improvement
to
the
process
for
next
year,
but
I
think
we
should
look
at
a
long-term
strategy
for
improving
the
process.
My
recommendation
would
be
that
you
know
if
we're
going
to
do
something
with
this
I
think
holding
it
here
or
you
know,
I
think
it
needs
to
stay
here.
C
If
we're
going
to
have
further
deliberation
on
this,
and
my
recommendation
would
be
to
go
with
some
version
of
what
was
requested
in
the
letter
that
clerk
Mendoza
sent
to
us
early
earlier
right,
you
sent
that
to
us
yeah
from
the
mental
health
task
force
and
so
and
I've
had
conversations
with
the
mental
health
task
force.
I
sat
in
with
not
Sarah
but
Sarah's
team.
C
On
a
meeting
with
the
mental
health
task
force
so
like
as
I
said,
I
think
we
need
to
really
you
know
what
should
be
sent
to
the
and
what
is
going
to
the
next
Social
Services
committee
is
a
review
correct
of
the
process
that
we
had
this
year,
not
reviewing
these
particular
allocations,
but
I
think
we're
going
to
get
feedback
from
some
of
the
key
stakeholders
at
the
next
Social
Services
committee
and
then,
but
so
so
I
would
at
you
know,
ask
that
maybe
that
motion
be
withdrawn
if
the
maker
sees
fit
after
discussion-
and
you
know
my
alternative
would
be
that
we
again
either
hold
it
here.
C
We
find
some
funding
to
add
additional
resources,
particularly
to
the
providers
that
are
most
financially
challenged
and
could
use
you
know,
there's
some
folks
who
received
you
know
far
less
than
what
they
requested
and
we're
overall
about
500,
some
odd
thousand
dollars
short.
If
we
were
to
give
everyone,
the
full
dollar
amount
that
they
requested.
I,
don't
you
know
I
would
support
that.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
the
direction
that
the
full
body
wants
to
go,
but
what
I
do
think
is.
C
We
can
certainly
make
some
improvements
now,
which
is
increasing
the
funding
for
now
and
then
looking
toward
next
year
for
a
better
process.
Thank
you.
AQ
Director,
flax,
can
you
please
speak
to
some
of
the
funding
challenges
we're
seeing
here.
I
too
spoke
with
some
men
members
of
the
mental
health
task
force
about
their
concerns,
and
just
where
exactly
is
our
shortfall
and
is?
Are
there
any
ways
we
can
find
this?
This
funding
going
forward.
AM
AM
First
of
all,
we
had
moved
to
this
new
system
of
funding
right
as
right
before
the
pandemic
hit,
but
the
idea
that
had
been
brought
forward
to
the
council
was
to
focus
our
resources
on
our
residents
with
greatest
needs,
who
didn't
have
the
capacity
to
get
the
services
that
they
needed
to
basically
move
themselves
into
self-sufficiency
and
and
to
improve
their
lives
so
and
the
way
of
addressing
that
was
to
provide
robust
case
management.
AM
Wraparound
Services
also
provided
both
through
the
negotiations
and
the
ability
of
the
organizations
providing
Case
Management
Services,
but
also
by
funding
support
services
and
the
first
support
services
that
we
are
doing.
AM
That
with
is
the
mental
health
services
that
were
recently
approved,
and
that
was
the
that
was
the
funding
that
was
sent
back,
that
council
member
Reid
referred
to,
and
then
the
third
category
of
funding
is
the
safety
net
category,
which
is
to
keep
people
from
to
take
care
of
an
immediate
need
and
keep
people
from
falling
into
greater
economic
hardship
or
other
hardship.
AM
This
year
in
2023,
we
got
substantially
larger
requests
both
from
renewing
agencies,
and
then
we
also
had
two
new
applications
in
each
category.
Not
surprising
I
mean
it's
good
that
we
have
more
organizations
wanting
to.
You
know
work
with
the
city
on
this
approach
to
funding
things,
but
it
was
a
little
overwhelming
to
give
you
a
little
perspective.
The
case
management
case
management
requests
were
48
increase
from
what
we
were
able
to
actually
give
out
in
2022..
AM
AM
We
did
not
do
a
new
application,
so
we
were
trying
to
commit
to
the
organizations
that
we
were
working
with,
because
we
are
asking
them
to
provide
services
in
a
way
that's
different
from
what
they
had
done
in
the
past,
which
was
to
come
and
ask
us
for
money
to
do
what
they
were
doing
well
for
the
residents,
but
not
this
targeted
approach
so
in
2022,
because
our
non-profits
were
hit
really
hard
by
the
pandemic.
Obviously
some
of
them
had
not
fully
implemented
their
programming
and
had
even
been
having
trouble
getting
staff.
AM
So
we
we
carried
over
if
you
will
quite
a
bit
of
money
in
the
case
management
area
that
we
carried
over
52
500
and
in
the
safety
net
Services,
it
was
158
500
and
those
were
all
given
to
agencies,
but
they
hadn't
expended
them,
so
they
were
carrying
it
over
into
the
next
year.
So
we
didn't
fund
them
at
the
same
level
in
2022
because
of
that
carryover.
AM
So
it's
incredibly
hard
to
understand
what
was
actually
allocated
in
what
year
and
what
was
spent
and
what
year,
but,
as
a
result,
it
made
it
very
difficult
for
the
committee
to
look
at
what
had
the
people
the
organizations
we'd
been
funding
had
they
delivered
on
their.
You
know
what
they
said
they
would
do
if
they
were
given
this
money
and
I
don't
believe
there
was
a
great
deal
of
discussion
about
what
would
happen
if
they
were
reduced
if
their
funding
was
reduced
substantially.
So
what
can
happen?
AM
Sometimes
it's
very
hard
to
make
these
decisions.
I
worked
with
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
act
committee
on
the
same
sort
of
thing
for
many
many
years
and
I
always
remember
our
chair
is
saying
this
is
a
very
difficult
decision.
Always
we
always
have
more
good
things
to
fund
than
we
have
money
to
fund
and
how
to
do
that
is.
Is
the
challenge
and
I
functionally?
What
happened,
I
think
is
to
include
the
new
applicants,
who
obviously
must
have
had
very
I.
AM
I
did
not
read
them
all
in
the
detail
that
I
usually
did
this
year,
but
had
really
strong
applications
and
all
that
good
stuff.
So
this
is
good
work.
It's
work.
We
want
to
support,
but
we
really
cut
up
the
amount
of
funding
that
everybody
was
given
and
I.
Think
it's
going
to
make
it
difficult
for
some
of
the
organizations
that
have
been
working
with
us
for
the
past
two
years
to
continue
their
same
level
of
services
and
in
some
cases
I
don't
know
if
it
was
really
determined.
AM
If
the
new
agencies,
given
smaller
amounts
of
money
substantially
smaller,
would
be
able
to
deliver
on
what
they
were,
what
they
proposed
when
they
asked
for
the
main
amount.
So
those
really
are
the
challenges
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'll
certainly
try
to
answer
them,
but
I
hope
that
give
some
explanation,
but
the
mental
health
services
in
this
particular
round
could
have
been
applied
for
and
some
did
apply
for
them.
In
fact,
impact
Behavioral
Health
was
a
new
applicant
and
they
were
awarded
funding.
AM
There
were
a
number
of
of
mental
health
agencies
that
didn't
apply
at
all
and
I'm
hearing
that
everybody
says
they
need
more
funding,
regardless
of
whether
they've
been
one
of
the
funders
that
we
and
one
of
the
agencies
we've
been
funding
for
their
programming
in
the
in
the
past
two
years
or,
if
they're
looking
for
money
new,
it's
very
challenging
because
not
only
our
needs
still
high,
but
inflation
has
had
a
real
Factor
on
on
what
everybody
can
do.
So
I
hope
that
helps
explain
the
situation.
AQ
Okay,
director,
flax
I
one
last
question:
I
just
want
to
know
how
the
timing
of
us
approving
this
affects
the
funding.
Typically,
how
do
we
what's
our
timing
for
providing
this
money
to
these?
These
agencies.
AM
In
the
last
two
years,
if
we
were
to
allocate
it
tonight,
we
would
be
ahead
of
our
last
two-year
schedules
we
have
been
trying
to.
That
was
one
of
the
purposes
of
combining
the
two
sources
of
funding
too.
So
we
could
actually
get
money
out
the
door
sooner,
because
we
have
our
local
funding.
If
we
were
to
hold
this
and
actually
reconsider
it
in
some
way,
shape
or
form,
regardless
of
whether
it
was
done
by
the
social
services
committee
or
some
other
way,
it
would
not
make
us.
AQ
Okay,
great,
thank
you,
I
I
would
urge
us
to
consider.
Maybe
I
know
our
funding
is
going
away,
but
if
there's
a
way
to
maybe
provide
this
as
a
stop
Gap
to
provide
funding
for
some
of
our
long-term
partners
that
were
coming
up
a
little
bit
short
with
that's
something.
I
would
maybe
like
to
see,
but
I'll
see
the
floor.
G
My
recollection
of
conversation
at
Social,
Service
committee
is
I.
Think
people
I
think
that
a
lot
of
the
agencies
were
shocked,
that
there
wasn't
as
much
money
as
they
thought
it
would
be.
I
think
people
came
into
the
process,
thinking
that
they
would
receive
either
exactly
what
they
requested
or
something
close
to
it,
because
maybe
that's
how
it
happened
in
previous
years.
I
don't
know,
and
then
what
I
told
the
agencies
they
reached
out
to
me
is
is:
is
the
Social
Service
committee,
which
I
sit
on
the
Social
Security
Services
committee?
G
We
understood
the
entire
time
that
we
did
not
have
enough
money
to
meet
everyone's
expectations.
That
was
very
clear,
I,
don't
know
if
we
made
that
clear
enough
to
the
agencies.
So
that's
probably
a
a
you
know
something
that
we
can
learn
moving
forward.
It's
just
to
be
very
upfront
about
that,
because
we
knew
pretty
early
on
just
based
on.
G
G
I
think
this
was
their
their
kind
of
their
good
faith.
Kind
of
attempt
to
try
to
reconcile
these
issues
with
funding
and
so
I
agree.
I.
Think
with
what
I've
heard
up
here
is
that
I
think
the
main
question
is:
do
we
want
to
allocate
additional
funding
to
cover
the
remaining
requests
and
and
councilman
hurricane
suggested,
potentially
using
arpa
I
I?
Don't
know
if
that
was
for
all
of
the
requests
or
just
just
a
subset
of
the
some
of
the
agencies.
G
But
I
do
think
that
is
really
the
matter
before
us,
as
if
we
want
to
allocate
additional
resources
I,
don't
think
it
would
help
to
bring
it
back
to
the
group
unless
we
provided
clear
direction
that
we
want
them
to
re.
We
we
want
the
social
services
committee
to
rethink
the
process
entirely
rescore
everybody,
because
that
that's
what
we
would
have
to
do
right
and
and
I,
don't
think
that
it
makes
sense
to
do
that.
G
C
Yeah
I
I
I'll
just
double
down
and
say
that
I
I
hope
that
we
can
move
forward
here.
The
motion
hasn't
been
removed,
yet
so
I
don't
know
I
guess
the
motion
isn't
going
to
be
removed.
The
goal
is
to
send
it
back.
If
that's
the
case,
I'm
a
no
vote
on
sending
it
back
to
committee.
C
To
just
add
to
what
council
member
Burns
said,
what
really
needs
to
be
done
at
committee
is,
and
there
was
a
good
faith
effort
put
forward,
but
we
need
a
rubric
at
the
social
services
committee
to
really
you
know
really
gauge
how
we
prioritize
certain
applicants
over
others.
We
had
a
process,
and
you
know
it's
kind
of
it
was
very
subjective
to
the
individual
member
of
the
committee.
We
kind
of
just
went
through
a
spreadsheet
and
said
you
know
how
much
money
do
we
think
should
be
allocated.
C
It
really
would
take.
You
know
I
think
more
information
than
what
we
were
provided
to
make
a
truly
informed
decision,
I,
think
again,
good
faith,
effort
and
and
I
think
the
process
of
creating
a
rubric
which
is
necessary
for
this
process
is
not
something
we
can
get
done,
not
a
thoughtful
detailed
rubric
in
a
short
amount
of
time.
I
think
it's
going
to
take
a
few
months
for
us
to
work
with
providers
and
work
this
through
committee
to
get
a
thoughtful
rubric
for
next
year.
C
So
I
would
support
council
member
goddess's
suggestion
that
maybe
we
look
at
arpa,
you
know
I'm
supportive
of
the
full
dollar
amount.
Maybe
it's
250
000
from
arpa
I
believe
there
was
what
was
it
Sarah,
there's
200
some
odd
thousand
left
over
for
mental
health
funding
in
arpa
unused.
AM
Official
money
in
arpa
for
mental
health
funding
that
has
not
been
allocated
there's
a
little
I
should
have
this
number
ingrained
in
my
brain,
but
I
don't
a
little
over
5
million.
That
is
left
in
total
to
be
reallocated.
C
Okay:
okay,
my
apologies,
I
thought
at
some
point:
I
heard
that
there
was
some
dollar
amount
of
Mental
Health
funding
that
we
had
set
aside,
that
hadn't
been
allocated,
but
again
I
still
think
we
can
find
some
money
in
arpa
for
mental
health.
It's
one
of
the
you
know,
one
of
the
lasting
effects
of
covid
or
one
of
the
I
think
one
of
the
longest
lasting
effects
of
covet
will
be.
C
AO
So
what
would
be
the
process
for
us
moving
forward
with
making
a
decision
about
our
dedicating
some
arpa
funds
for
the
mental
health,
Support
Services.
AM
If
I
could
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
want
clarification
on
is
I?
Don't
think
that
this
is
limited
to
the
mental
health
service
provider.
G
That's
what
I
was
just
about
to
say
it
was
an
actual
point:
information.
That's
not
yeah.
The
groups
that
we
did
not
fund
did
not
necessarily
request
that
did
not
state
that
they
will
request
Mental
Health
Services
as
as
a
part
of
the
services,
so
I,
don't
think
it's
that
simple.
AM
Well,
I
have
the
list
in
in
front
of
me
and
it's
actually,
the
list
of
agencies
or
the
programs
they
applied
for
I
mean
we
have
two
new
organizations
applying
for
Case
Management
Services
and
then
the
new
organizations
for
a
safety
net
was
Child.
Care
Network
is
a
mental
health
services
application
and
infant
Welfare
Society
is
not
specifically
in
a
mental
health
program.
So
I
don't
want
to
look
at
this
as
solving
the
issues
of
the
mental
health
services
providers.
A
Once
again,
no
one
is
asking
to
speak
for
the
first
time,
so
we
go
back
to
council
member
headacharis
with
355
left
and
it's
weird
how
much
355
rendered
poorly
looks
like
this.
AQ
So
you
know
the
the
last
thing
I'd
want
to
do
is
to
ask
our
Partners
to
do
more.
Do
more
work.
AQ
AQ
I'd
still,
you
know
want
to
see
where
we're
at
with
arpa
for
the
other
pieces,
but
has
there
been
thought
director,
flax
to
I'm
doing
like
a
six
month
or
a
check
in
with
these?
Typically,
how
do
we?
How
do
we
find
out
how
they're
doing
with
funding
from
us.
AM
With
this
new
cycle,
this
new
process
we've
gone
to.
We
we
have
been
saying
that,
for
the
case
management
and
safety
net
Services,
the
goal
is
to
look
at
it
as
a
sort
of
a
two-year
commitment
subject
to
the.
AM
Agencies
providing
the
statistics
showing
that
they're
doing
the
work
that
they
said
they
would
do
and
so
I
think
it's
difficult,
especially
with
the
case
management,
because
that
whole
point
of
that
is
long-term
case
management.
And
if
you
don't
have
some
kind
of
a
commitment
to
maintaining
those
Services,
then
the
agencies
really
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
work
with
the
individuals
or
households
there's
a
trust,
building
a
stabilization
process.
There's
the
building
the
case
management
plan
with
them.
AM
Also
just
trying
to
add
up,
because
I
wanted
to
give
the
committee
and
I
will
do
this
just
in
a
minute
what
the
difference
is
between
what
was
requested
and
what
we
allocated
so
I
I
just
want
to
do
that
math
for
you.
AM
I
get
478
000
because
I'm
not
taking
into
account
the
money
that
had
been
set
aside
for
additional
Supportive
Services,
which
was
122
770.
AM
3.
Now
we
could
also
you
know
the
the
we
just
recently
started
those
services
and
it's
arguable
that
we
could
say
that
we
ought
to
be
able
to
get
through
at
least
one
year
with
the
250
that
I
don't
remember
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
it
was
significantly
more
than
that
amount
that
was
allocated
is
just
really
getting
off
the
ground
now,
so
that
still
won't
make
up
the
difference.
But
it's
some
additional
funding.
A
AM
A
N
AK
A
Well,
this
is
exciting,
with
four
voting
in
favor
and
four
voting
against
I
slip
out
of
irrelevance.
For
a
brief
moment,
I
I
am
going
to
break
the
time
by
voting,
no
just
in
the
interest
of
clarity,
especially
since
the
item
is
still
there
for
live.
I
was
persuaded
by
councilmember
Burns
point
that
the
solution
to
what
I
think
many
of
us
agree.
E
A
Real
problem
isn't
to
just
ping
pong
this
bash
to
the
committee
with
the
same
kind
of
resource
situation.
I
would
be
sympathetic
to
to
you
know
tabling
this
for
a
while
to
figure
out
a
better
solution,
but
I
think
taking
it
back
to
the
volunteer
residents
without
you
know,
helping
where
to
find
the
money
that
we're
all
looking
to
spend
is
kind
of
unfair
to
them.
A
AQ
Member
headaches,
I
just
think
I
just
want
to
say,
I,
think
we're
all
committed
to
finding
a
way
to
bridge
this
Gap.
So
I
encourage
staff
to
and
I'm
available
to,
I.
Don't
know
how
it
would
help
for
the
financial
piece,
but
yeah
I
think
we're
all
looking
forward
to
finding
a
way
to
bridge
a
gap
for
some
of
these
partners
of
ours.
AM
I
think
it
would
be
appropriate
for
staff
to
contact
them
and
find
out
if
that
is
something
they
can
do
anything
with,
because,
honestly,
if
we
were
to
go
from
say
feeling
that
we
have
to
make
up
the
full
amount
for
that
to
make
them
whole
or
make
them
able
to
launch
a
new
program
or
this
new
or
to
effectively
do
the
new
programs
I
think
that
would
be
an
important
thing
for
us
to
know
so.
AM
I'd
like
to,
if,
with
the
approval
of
the
council,
be
able
to
talk
to
them
openly
and
just
be
straight
with
them
and
say
you
know,
because
I
do
know.
In
the
past
years
we
managed
to
give
people
organizations
money.
That
was
too
little
for
them
to
effectively
use,
and
they
ended
up
spending
more
time
and
energy
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
do
with
it
or
reporting
to
us,
as
we
require
quite
a
bit
of
reporting
on
this.
AM
Very
difficult,
sometimes
I
think
in
those
meetings,
and
we
did
have
a
internal.
We
were
going
to
bring
also
bring
this
and
it
is
going
to
be
discussed
at
the
next
Social
Services
meetings
and
I
I
got
to
tell
you
there's
one
thing
that
I
think
is
really
hard
to
do
in
a
zoom
meeting,
and
that
is
this
kind
of
a
very,
very
important
interaction,
and
it
makes
it
very
hard
to
again
back
to
the
old
cdbg
days.
AM
We
frequently
we
had
everybody
there
and
when
we
made
these
sorts
of
the
funding
decisions
were
the
various
of
the
committee
would
say:
I
need
to
be
able
to
ask
this
organization
if
this,
if
they
can
even
do
anything
with
this
money
and
I,
that's
really
hard
to
do
on
a
zoom
meeting
and
I.
Think
it's
a
pretty
overwhelming
responsibility.
When
you
already
as
council
member
Burns
said
you
know,
you
don't
have
enough
money
and-
and
it
makes
it
that
much
harder.
AM
So
that's
just
one
way
to
I
think
we
can
at
least
try
to
figure
out
what
would
be
needed
to
move
these
funding
things
for
her.
C
Is
this
exception,
or
is
this
just
regular
15
all
right
so
I'll
take
it
as
30.
all
right,
so
I
would
recommend
I
I
would
move
that
we
table
this
to
I,
don't
know
what
a
reasonable
amount
of
time
you
know
whether
it's
one
meeting
or
two
meetings
for
you
Sarah
to
have
those
conversations
I
think
particularly
focusing
on
the
new
programs.
I.
C
Think
that's
where
I
heard
a
lot
of
frustration,
particularly
with
the
newer
programs
taking
that
time
to
have
those
conversations
and
then
coming
back
to
us
with.
Maybe
you
know,
I
would
also
so
I
move
that
we
table
this
for
one
meeting.
Does
that
sound
reasonable
or
do
you
need
to.
C
C
March
13th
I
move
that
we
table
this
until
March,
13th
I
would
like
staff
to
come.
You
know,
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
officially
part
of
the
motion,
so
I'm
looking
for
reactions
from
people's
faces,
but
I
think
finding
you
know
up
to
250
000
in
arpa,
if
possible,
to
help
bridge
the
gap,
particularly
for
the
new
programs
that
only
receive
20
000
dollars
and
also,
if
programs
think
that
they
can't
make
much
of
a
difference
with
just
twenty
thousand.
A
E
A
With
eight
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
my
brief
moment
of
relevance
has
has
faded.
The
motion
passes
and
this
item
will
be
back
on
the
agenda
four
weeks
from
today.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
AM
AR
A
C
I
I
pulled
this
off
I'm
going
to
be
voting.
Yes,
so
don't
worry,
but
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
as
folks
know
all
for
trying
new
things
even
and
so
my
concern
is
I
just
want
to
have
clear
metrics
with
this
I
mentioned
this
at
Economic,
Development
I,
don't
know
if
Paul
is
here,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
as
we're
embarking
on
this,
that
there
are
clear
metrics
to
you
know
see
the
effectiveness
of
this
in
the
long
term
and
I.
C
C
You
know
change,
but
there
are
more
programs
coming
down
the
pike
that
you
know,
I
may
or
may
not
be
supportive
of,
and
so
I
just
want
to
highlight
that,
and
also
thank
you
councilmember
Kelly,
for
you
know
trying
something
new
and
somewhat
out
of
the
box
for
our
community.
You
know
that's
it's
always
a
good
direction
to
try
something
new
and
learn
from
our
successes
and
failures.
So
thank
you.
AJ
Thank
you,
councilmember,
Reed
and
I.
Do
love
the
idea
that
I'm
glad
you
put
the
metrics
in
there
I
think
that's
an
absolute
must
I
think
we
will
see
very
positive
metrics,
just
based
on
some
sort
of
similar
kind
of
experience,
but
it
goes
Way
Beyond
just
a
website.
This
also
will
be
plaques
or
Flags
it'll,
be
you
know,
newsletters,
it's
programs,
it's
so
much
for
this
price,
so
I
think
we're
going
to
find
a
really
wonderful
impact
that
will,
in
the
end,
be
a
relatively
small
expense
to
support
hundreds.
AJ
We
we're
well
over
200
Legacy
businesses
so,
but
thank
you,
I
think.
Your
point
is
well
taken
and
very
important.
So
thank
you.
C
Yeah
I'm
only
taking
30
of
those,
so
I
I
was
hoping
that
Paul
zamazak
Paul
Z,
as
you
said
earlier,
would
be
here.
I,
don't
know.
C
You
so
I,
just
if,
if
you
can
maybe
or
or
council
member
Kelly,
whoever
is
most
prepared
talk
about
some
of
those
metrics
that
will
be.
You
know
looking
at
to
see
to
measure
the
efficacy
of
this.
AS
Sure
so,
council,
member
Kelly,
if
you
could,
if
you
could
back
me
up
here
good
evening,
Mr
Mayor
members
of
the
city
council,
my
apologies
for
not
being
present
in
the
chambers
I-
was
there
earlier
and
frankly
didn't
anticipate
that
this
would
be
pulled
from
the
agenda.
AS
So
the
the
first
phase
of
this
particular
program,
that's
been
spearheaded
by
council,
member
Kelly
really
is
about
bringing
forth
and
I,
don't
want
to
kind
of
just
repeat
the
entire
program,
because
I
think
it's
before
you.
It
really
is
a
retention
effort
and
to
highlight
kind
of
the
cultural
long-standing
businesses
in
Evanston.
AS
I
will
be
frank
with
you
I
we
we
do
not
have
a
set
of
of
standards
in
place
to
show
the
efficacy
of
the
plan
website
and
the
and
the
plaques
and
and
the
recognition
that
we'll
provide
and
I
think
we'll.
We'll
have
to
build.
That
and-
and
part
of
that
is
really
how
many
businesses
have.
We
retained
right
on
an
annual
basis.
How
many
we
we
could
do
things
like
how
many
social
media
Impressions
have
we
made
how
many
businesses
that
are
identified
as
Legacy
businesses?
AS
How
many
are
they,
how
many
are
retained
on
an
annual
basis,
but
we're
just
building
the
program?
There's
there's
time
to
to
develop
this,
so
I
don't
want
to
kind
of
pretend
to
give
you
a
series
of
of
measures
we
can
provide,
but
this
is
a
classic
business
retention
offer.
This
is
really
about
showing
love
to
businesses
that
have
committed
to
being
here
and
and
it's
the
80
20
rule
not
to
throw
out
cliches,
but
let's
spend
20
of
our
time
routine.
AS
You
know
and
and
retaining
those
those
businesses
with,
and
we
can
spend
the
rest
of
that
time
doing
the
minimal
work
on
doing
attraction.
Work,
council,
member,
Kelly,
I,
know
I'm
not
doing
your
program
justice.
But
what
else
would
you
add
to
that.
AJ
So
first
I'd
say
our
program,
but
you
know:
we've
also
been
studying
other
Legacy
business
programs
in
the
United
States,
so
I
think
we
can
we'll
be
Consulting
with
them.
Also
and
I
think
it's
we
will
develop
because
of
you
know,
I
think
your
points
are
important.
AJ
Just
even
individually
I
I'd
like
to
find
ways
that
we
can
work
with
with
the
individual
entities
to
see
how,
if
business
has
improved
as
well
as
retention
overall
in
the
city
so
and
I
speak
just
anecdotally
from
every
Ward
meeting,
I
bring
in
local
First
Ward
businesses
and
I've
heard
more
than
a
handful
of
times.
AJ
C
Thank
you
for
that,
and
so
I
appreciate
the
response.
Then
I
appreciate
the
the
Frank
response
that
right
now
there
isn't.
We
don't
quite
have
measurables
on
this
and
I
appreciate.
You
know
the
thought
of
a
measurable
being.
You
know
business
retention
year
over
year.
I
think
that's
a
fine
one.
Will
you
know
I,
think
the
natural
environment
will
add
new
Legacy
businesses
every
year
as
folks
become
eligible
for
it,
and
you
know,
as
folks
decide
to
shut
the
doors
or
as
the
economy
evolves.
Some
folks
will
fall
off.
C
I
I
think
a
real,
an
interesting
measurable
would
be
looking
at
sales
tax
revenue.
If
we
were
to
take
all
of
the
you
know,
Legacy
businesses
determine
what
their
sales
tax
revenue
is
now
and
track
that
year
over
year
to
see,
if
there's
an
actual
increase
to
me,
that's
really.
C
You
know
if
we're
going
to
make
an
investment-
and
this
is
a
small,
fairly
small
one,
this
initial
investment,
but
it's
leading
toward
larger
and
I,
think
it's
leading
toward
larger
and
maybe
more
substantial
Investments
down
the
line.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
measuring
our
return
on
investment,
and
you
know
seeing
what
is
you
know,
setting
a
baseline
for
property
tax,
whether
or
not
property
tax
for
sales
tax
revenue
with
our
Legacy
businesses
and
tracking
that
year
over
year,
I.
C
Don't
think
that
would
violate
because
the
number
of
Legacy
businesses
I
don't
think
that
violate
state
laws
around
releasing
sales
tax
information
and
it's
such
a
diverse
array
of
Industries
I
think
would
be
fine
to
look
at
that
number
in
Aggregate
and
track
that
year-over-year
to
I.
Think
to
me
that
would
be
one
of
the
important
measures
of
efficacy
here.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
seeing
no
further
discussion
with
the
clerk.
Please
take
the
role
in
item
81.
A
C
Yes,
we
will
have
a
eighth
Ward
award
meeting
next
Thursday
at
6
PM.
We
will
have
director
Kano
joining
us
to
discuss
Public
Works
issues,
I
believe
I,
think
a
managers
Amazon
will
be
there
as
well
to
discuss
an
art
Park
in
the
eighth
Ward,
if
that's
not
next
month.
C
So
really
looking
forward
to
the
eighth
word
meeting
we'll
have
the
newsletter
out
by
this
Thursday
for
next
Thursday.
It's
really
important
I
encourage
residents
of
particularly
my
award
but
all
Awards
to
join
the
ward
meetings.
It's
a
really
important
opportunity
and
that
all
of
us
I
think
here
almost
all
of
us
provide
residents
to
engage
with
us,
and
so
hopefully,
more
and
more
folks
do
participate.
C
Last
month,
I
sent
out
a
particular
email
asking
people
to
participate
and
we
saw
an
increase
in
people
turning
out
just
by
asking
them
and
letting
them
know
how
important
it
is
for
them
to
turn
out
and
so
I
think
I
will
continue.
That
messaging
and
you
know,
I
really
encourage
folks
to
participate.
Thank
you.
