B
Thank
you
for
for
everyone.
Eduardo
Miz
is
sitting
in
for
clerk
read
tonight.
Atwater
is
the
deputy
city
clerk,
welcome
everybody
to
the
Monday
September
23rd
2019
Evanston
City
Council
meeting
it's
a
beautiful
night
out
there
tonight,
as
Chicago
Bears
are
playing
last
I
checked.
They
were
winning
seven
to
nothing
over
the
bike
of
the
Redskins
aldermen
suffered
in
his
series
were
walking
up.
So
we
have
everybody
here
tonight
and
I've
got
I've
got
a
couple
couple
announcements:
the.
B
The
first
one
is
last
night:
I
joined
160
people
to
celebrate
the
hundredth
anniversary
of
the
American
Legion
Evanston
Post
42.
If
you
haven't
been
to
post
42,
it's
much
more
than
a
place
to
listen
to
some
of
the
finest
bluegrass
music
in
the
country
or
to
enjoy
a
beer
or
two
on
the
patio,
though
it's
a
great
place
for
both
of
those
post
42
is
a
place
where
service
to
the
community
and
the
country
come
before
self.
B
It's
a
place
where
the
principles
of
democracy
and
freedom
and
justice
are
safeguarded
and
transmitted
to
future
generations.
It's
a
place
where
bonds
are
formed,
memories
are
preserved,
friendships
made
and
stories
are
shared.
Last
night
we
heard
stories
of
service
and
sacrifice
in
honor.
It
was
a
powerful
reminder
that
our
way
of
life,
no
matter
how
messy
it
seems
at
times,
is
due
to
the
extraordinary
sacrifice
and
service
of
millions
of
men
and
women,
but
their
country
before
themselves.
B
It
was
a
very,
very
moving
ceremony
and
I
congratulate
the
American
Legion
Post
42
for
a
hundred
years
service
to
the
country
and
to
this
community.
It's
a
great
place.
If
you
haven't
been
there,
I
suggest
you
stop
by
second
item
that
I
have
is
tonight's
a
it's
a
bittersweet
meeting,
because
tonight
is
the
end
of
an
error
and
I'll
refer
to
it
as
the
bump
quits
error
of
Wally
Bob
quits
serving
is
our
city
manager
and
leading
this
great
city
of
ours
for
10
years.
B
What
I'd
like
to
what
I'd
like
to
do
tonight
is
I'd
like
to
open
the
mic
to
members
of
the
Evanston
City
Council.
If
they'd
like
to
make
some
remarks,
there
has
been
a
nice
sort
of
celebration
of
all
that
Wally
has
done
for
the
city
and
his
team
has
done
for
the
city
over
the
last
10
years.
So
I,
don't
think
we
need
to.
You
know,
go
through
the
go
through
that
again.
B
There
was
a
really
nice
farewell
on
Friday
will
the
city,
employees
and
stuff,
but
there
hasn't
been
an
opportunity
for
any
of
the
members
of
the
council
who
would
like
to
to
make
a
few
remarks
and
then
I'll
wrap
it
up
at
the
end
and
then
I
have
something
for
mr.
Bob
quits,
we'll
start
with
all
there
in
Fisk.
C
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
G
Wally,
so
alderman,
Wilson
and
I
are
what's
left
of
I.
Think
five
of
us
who
came
on
the
council
together
in
2009
and
our
first
first
big
thing
that
we
did
was
hire
Wally
and
it
was
while
he
was
our
first
choice
and
we
were
I
think
we
were
so
pleased
and
happy
to
have
him
and
I.
C
Remember
when
we
came
to
our
first
meeting
when
we
were
first
still
discussing
the
kid
city
manager,
candidates,
we
were
coming
in
with
roll
roll
carts
of
packets
for
city
council
meetings,
thousands
of
pages
long
and
it
looked
like
we
were
headed
to
the
airport.
Well,
while
I
quickly
took
that
in
hand
with
our
IT
department,
and
now
we
arrived
with
our
iPads
and
everything
you
ever
need
to
know
about
the
city
is
it's
contained
in
a
very,
very
small
space
and
accessible
to
everyone?
C
The
way
he
handled
himself
at
work,
it's
extraordinary
to
me,
I
mean
I've,
worked
in
a
lot
of
places
with
a
lot
of
people
all
over
time
and
I.
Absolutely
think
that
Wally
is
an
incredible
city
manager
and
we've
been
so
lucky
to
have
him.
Have
we
disagreed
from
time
to
time?
Of
course
we
have
and
Wally's.
Let
me
disagree
with
him
and
I've.
C
Let
him
disagree
with
me
and
we've
had
really
good
conversations
about
it,
but
in
the
end,
we're
all
here
representing
the
citizens
of
Evanston,
and
it's
never
I've,
never
doubted
for
one
minute
that
that
was
what,
while
he
was
doing
and
I'm
just
I'm,
so
sorry
that
you're
leaving
Wally
I
I
love
our
staff
that
you've
put
together.
I
know
that
we'll
be
ok
but
you're
going
to
be
really
miss.
I've
warned
you
that
I'm
gonna
come
out
and
be
a
goatherd
and
and
it's
a
crime
I'm
not
kidding.
C
If
you
haven't,
if
you
haven't
googled
goats
and
it's
a
quirk,
go
Google
that
right
now
and
look
at
the
video,
because
I'm
gonna
go
out
and
do
that,
but
it's
a
quartz
very
lucky
to
have
you.
Why
and
the
challenges
that
are
there
I
think
are
particularly
you're,
particularly
well-suited
for
because
it's
a
growing
community
and
needs
what
we
what
we
needed
in
2009
and
we're
you've
brought
us,
which
is
night
and
day
from
where
we
all
started.
C
So,
thank
you
for
these
ten
years
you
told
us
we
would
have
ten
years
of
you
and
that's
again,
you
you
certainly
have
delivered
on
that
and
it's
I
I
think
we
all
need
to
sort
of
settle
back
and
put
our
differences
aside
and
and
realize
really
how
fortunate
we've
been.
So
thank
you
Wally.
So
much
well,
we'll
miss
you
Thank.
B
D
D
D
You
don't
really
know
what
the
expectations
are,
and
you
know
more
significantly
for
me
when
I
started
the
job
I
couldn't
find
information,
I
needed
to
do
the
job,
and
you
know
one
of
the
things
I've
learned
being
up
here
is
that
we
often
hear
from
people
about
what
they
want
all
day
long.
We
want
this.
We
want
this
one
with
us.
D
What
you
don't
always
hear
from
people
about
is
what
they
need,
or
what
is
needed,
and
you've
really
been
great
about
pushing
us
to
focus
on
needs,
whether
it's
from
the
human
perspective
or
the
human
level
to
the
infrastructure
needs
and
a
lot
of
times.
That
stuff
isn't
very
interesting.
You
know
new
water,
mains
and
sewers
are
not
that
interesting,
but
we
will
never
be
Flint
Michigan
and
that
will
never
happen
in
our
community
and
the
commitment
that
you've
demonstrated
for
our
community
is
to
me
it's
it's
there's
it's
an
unprecedented
level
of
commitment.
D
You
are
available
and
have
been
available.
24/7
people,
don't
I,
think
understand
or
appreciate
that
yeah
I've
gotten
calls
from
you
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
I've
gotten
calls
from
you
from
you
know
the
other
side
of
the
world
you
are
always
on
and
to
that
point,
I
want
to
thank
your
family
because
you've
enabled
him
to
always
be
on
and
available
for
us
and
I
know
that
that
presents
a
significant
challenge.
So
that's
hard
for
you,
you're,
raising
a
young
child.
D
The
time
you
give
to
us
is
time
that
you
don't
have
to
do
other
things
and
that
commitment
means
a
lot
to
me
and
I
think
it
means
a
lot
to
our
community
and
I.
Don't
think
people
fully
understand
and
appreciate
that
level
of
commitment,
another
thing
that
I
think
participating
in
other
things
around
the
country.
D
We
enjoy
an
unprecedented
level
of
transparency.
I
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
conversations
about
that,
but
going
back
to
when
I
started
this
job
again,
I
couldn't
find
information.
We
have
so
much
that's
available
on
the
city
website.
We
have
so
much
that's
available
at
any
time,
and
that
is
really
incredible.
We
publish
I
was
at
a
session
people
were
talking
about.
You
know
we
tell
people
how
much
every
job
makes
and
I
said.
Well,
we
tell
people
how
much
every
single
person
make
so
they
were
in
people.
D
Were
you
know
when
we
had
these
conversations
in
other
communities,
they
were
absolutely
stunned
with
how
much
we
do
and
our
level
of
engagement
the
budget
budget
process
same
thing.
So
we've
made
light-years
of
progress.
This
city
is
reinvigorated
and
Riaan
juvie
or
rejuvenated,
and
just
it
was
always
a
joy
to
be
here,
but
it's
even
more
so-
and
you
know
people
are
you
know
desperate
to
get
here,
stay
here
and
come
here
and
I
think
you
had
a
lot
to
do
with
that.
So
I'm
very
grateful.
G
My
first
engagement
with
you
was
years
ago
with,
as
an
advocate:
that's
my
business
advocate
fighting
for
local
folks
and
minority
folks
to
get
contracts
with
the
city
and
I.
Remember
then,
thinking
how
much
you
make
me
feel
heard,
and
you
were
always
very
professional
and
consistently
professional
and
as
a
youngish,
black
woman
in
a
you,
know,
male
dominant
white,
dominant
industry.
That
was
not
something
that
I
enjoyed
much
and
so
to
come.
In.
G
As
a
council
person,
you
have
continued
that
level
of
professionalism
always
been
responsive,
always
been
sensitive
to
the
needs
that
I
have,
which
are
the
needs
of
the
ward
and
the
folks
that
I
serve
and
you've
made
every
effort
to
make
sure
that
I
have
the
support
from
staff
that
I
need
to
reach.
My
goals
and
you've
always
been
response
to
the
same
thing.
It
doesn't
matter
what
time
of
day
or
night
or
where
you
are
in
the
world.
H
Sometimes
I
write
a
couple
things
down
or
scribble
things
down,
and
my
list
kept
getting
longer
and
longer
of
what
to
say,
and
so,
if
I
look
at
notes,
it's
because
there's
so
much
to
acknowledge,
like
alderman,
Rainey,
actually
I
think
alderman
Rainey
has
been,
has
served
under
more
city.
Managers
than
I
have
I've
been
an
alderman
while
we've
had
three
city
managers
and
if
they
may
have
been
city
managers,
but
you
really
are
the
best
city
manager.
H
This
study
has
ever
had
Wally
by
a
light
year
when
I
think
of
all
of
the
differences
as
other
my
other
colleagues
have
referred
to
between
2009
and
29th.
You
know
you
think
of
2009
Evanston
was
pretty
pretty
with
it
not
compared
to
today.
There
are
so
many
things
that
are
different
here
in
Evanston
because
of
you.
There
are
so
many
things
that
are
seen
and
unseen
that
so
many
people
in
the
community
don't
know
about.
H
You
know:
I
I'm,
I
wrote
a
few
down.
The
relationship
that
we
have
with
Northwestern
is
so
dramatically
different
and
that
that's
because
of
both
president
Shapiro
and
mayor
tis
doll,
but
also
critically
of
you
as
well.
You
had
a
better
understanding
of
where
we
could
be
with
northwestern
and
helped
guide
that
that's
something
that
many
people
in
the
community
don't
realize,
and
it
is
so
different
than
it
was
back.
Then
we
were
really
lager
loggerheads
when
when
Wally
started,
we
did
not
have
anyone
who
would
be
our
intergovernmental
relationship
person.
H
That
was
something
that
I
always
wondered
about.
I'd
worked
in
DC.
How
do
you
not
have
a
liaison
to
other
governmental
agencies
or
bodies
while
he
hired
one
and
wow
what
a
difference?
Suddenly,
we
had
regular
conversations
with
the
CTA,
the
RTA
Springfield,
and
we
went
down
to
Springfield
and
let
them
know
who
Evanston
really
is,
and
that
was
something
that
you
started
and
we
have
a
voice
down
there.
They
know
who
we
are,
and
our
leadership
on
the
North
Shore
has
really
dramatically
changed.
Other
communities
and
municipalities
look
to
us
now.
H
They
need
us
to
get
involved
in
order
to
have
things
happen
for
for
all
of
us
in
Springfield
that
didn't
that
did
not
exist
really
before,
and
our
relationship
with
the
federal
government
is
very
different.
Once
again,
we
did
not
really
have
a
regular
interaction.
Of
course
we
knew
our
representatives,
but
it
was
Raleigh
who
said
we
to
the
mayor
mayor
Tisdale.
H
We
got
to
get
on
a
plane,
we
got
to
start
visiting
and
many
people
don't
realize
that
we
were
the
only
community
anywhere
near
our
size
that
got
18
or
19
million
dollars
in
NSP
to
funds
to
help
us
recover
after
the
foreclosure
crisis.
No,
no
other
city,
our
science
got
remotely
that
amount
of
money,
and
that
was
Wally
and
Meritus
doll.
Going
to
Washington
and
saying
you
should
know
about
Evanston
when
I
think
about
sustainability.
H
When
my
husband
and
I
moved
here
in
1988,
Oh
Evanston,
we
all
thought
we
were
so
green
because
we
had
that
first
recycling
center
that
was
ever
built
in
Illinois,
and
you
know
we
were
just
resting
on
those
environmentally
aware,
Green
laurels
and
then
I
remember
a
shock
of
shocks.
Arlington
Heights
was
actually
on
some
list
doing
so
much
better
than
we
were.
H
It
was
like
how
could
Arlington
Heights
be
great,
that
that's
not
true
and
while
I
got
here
and
he
said,
we
need
to
figure
out
sustainability
and
it's
under
Wally's
leadership
that
we
have
a
sustainability
coordinator.
We
have
working
with
our
citizens,
we
have
a
climate
action
recovery
plan
that
wins
accolades,
that
we
actually
are
doing
something.
H
We
can
look
our
children
in
the
face
when
they
say
they're
going
off
on
a
climate
strike
that
we
can
join
them.
That's
something
that
we
didn't
have.
We
were
not
really
going
anywhere
and
that's
under
Wally's
leadership,
and
it's
now
part
of
you
know
the
air
we
breathe
literally
and
then
I.
Think
of
other
things
that
Wally
does
his
level
of
innovation.
H
This
is
something
that
well
I'm
just
referred
to.
While
he
doesn't
have
a
piece
of
paper
on
his
desk,
not
a
single
piece
of
paper.
It's
he.
He
is
so
tech
savvy
and
he's
made
all
of
us
aware
of
the
importance
of
tech
and
has
really
transformed
the
our
city
government.
In
that
way,
it
allowed
us
to
be
so
much
more
transparent
than
we
ever
were,
because
we
put
it
all
on
our
website
and
he's
always
pushing
the
staff
to
four
best
practices.
What
are
best
practices?
Let's?
H
H
Think
that
we
all
get
a
little
bit
too
used
to
that
to
realize
how
talented
this
group
is,
and
it's
because
you
have
made
it
an
interesting,
challenging
place
for
these
high
quality
people
to
work
and
to
stay
here
and
that's
a
legacy
that
you're
going
to
leave
that
that's
about
the
only
thing
about
your
leaving
that
I'm
happy
that
you've
left
this
amazing
team.
So
there
are
so
many
things
that
are
different
about
Evanston
and
will
continue
to
be
that
way
going
on
into
the
future.
H
H
I
You
mayor
so
Wally
we
took
that
back
in
2011
I
think
is
when
I
when
I
started,
and
the
first
I
think
big
thing
that
we
tackled
was
the
dempster
dodge,
TIF
and
I.
Remember
you
responding
to
my
frustration
just
wanting
to
get
things
done
and
I
thought
that
that
was
a
huge
opportunity
and
you
directed
the
staff
to
make
it
happen
and
myself
in
the
mayor.
Just
last
week
we
were
there
at
the
ribbon
cutting
for
blink
Fitness
and
the
week
before
that
I
think
it
was
the
youth
job
Center.
I
So
here
we
are
moran
center.
Thank
you.
So
here
we
are
ten
years
later
and
a
shopping
center,
that
was
I
mean
damn
near
vacant
with
Dominic's
gone
ten
years
later,
I
mean
it's
full
and
a
lot
of
that
has
to
do
with
your
leadership
and
directing
staff.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
that,
and
there
was
another
real
huge
huge.
I
Thank
you
that
I,
don't
think
you'll
get
the
credit
for,
and
you
know
we'll
remember
some
of
us
on
council
when
we
went
through
a
period
of
times
when
there
was
a
lot
of
violence
in
town
and
under
the
mayor's
leadership,
alderman
Holmes
there
was
a
need
to
really
change
how
we
develop
develop.
You
know
how
we
administer
our
youth
services
and
I.
Think
that's
when
I
saw
your
greatest
creativity
and
trust
in
staff
and
Joel
McCrea,
pastor,
cherry
Kevin
Brown.
I
I
Don't
think
you
received
the
credit
that
you
deserve,
it's
it's
no
secret
that
we've
had
a
couple
of
knockdown
fights,
but
I
think
out
of
that,
I
can
say
that
I've
learned
in
you've
learned
just
how
to
disagree
and
stay
focused
on
the
same
goals
and
I
think
we
could
probably
teach
people
like
how
to
disagree
and
then
still
stay
focused
on
on
some
goals.
I
mean
that
Patrice
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
sharing.
I
J
J
You've
always
provided
really
good
support
to
me
as
an
alderman
I
think.
The
first
challenge
that
came
my
way
was
the
Ryan
Field
West
parking
lot
issue
and,
and
particularly
the
question
of
whether
we
were
going
to
get
the
alley
paved
there,
and
you
were
behind
me
really
pushing
and
saying
you
know
now
is
the
time
to
really
work
on
this,
and
you
know
it's
if
you're
gonna
make
it
happen.
J
Now
is
the
time,
so
you
really
were
a
wonderful
coach
and
helped
me
get
started
in
my
job
as
alderman
I
I
would
especially
like
to
echo
something
that
alderman
Wynn
said
about
the
really
great
staff
team
that
you
have
put
together
for
us,
it
is,
as
alderman
Wynn
said,
a
really
wonderful
legacy
that
you're
leaving
us.
So
just
a
really
terrific
staff
all
was
so
supportive
and
responsive
and
always
helping
me
come
up
with
the
answers
to
address
the
questions
and
concerns
that
get
that
we're
getting
bombarded
with
from
our
constituents.
J
You've
been
done,
a
wonderful
job,
anticipating
our
future
needs
and
really
making
Evanston
a
leader
in
so
many
areas
and
the
one
that
of
course,
is
dearest
to
my
heart.
Is
sustainability?
You've
really
put
us
on
the
map
in
terms
of
our
achievements
in
that
area,
so
I'm
gonna
miss
our
coffee,
get-togethers
and
really
wish
you
all
the
best
in
Issaquah.
J
K
The
years
before
wally
came,
the
eighth
ward
only
has
one
border
that
borders
other
wards
in
the
city
of
Evanston.
My
western
border
is
not
Evanston,
it's
really
the
Water
Reclamation
District,
it's
sort
of
like
Skokie
or
Lincolnwood
I'm,
not
sure
what
it
is,
but
it's
a
Water
Reclamation
District,
my
eastern
border
is
Chicago
and
my
entire
southern
border
is
Chicago
Rogers
Park
that
I
love
dearly
and
only
my
northern
border
is
Evanston.
K
So
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
interaction
with
Evanston
neighbors
from
other
wards,
so
we
were
forgotten
for
a
long
time,
and
my
constituents
always
reminded
me
that
the
eighth
Ward
never
never
gets
anything.
And
now
lately
I've
been
accused
of
getting
too
much,
and
that's
all
Wally's
fault
and
I
will
never
be
able
to
express
to
him
how
grateful
I
am
when
he
came
here.
I
asked
me:
what
did
I
need?
What
did
I
want
and
I
said?
K
Well,
if
you'll
look
at
how
street
it's
full
of
vacant
buildings
and
it's
dirty
and
there's
just
nothing,
I
can
do
with
it
and
he
said
well.
What
do
you
want?
What
do
you
need
I
said
well,
I
want
to
get
control
of
some
of
the
buildings
and
he
said
well.
How
would
you
do
that?
I
said
the
city
has
to
buy
them.
K
He
supported
the
purchase
of
five
buildings
on
Howard
Street
and
today
those
fight-
and
there
was
a
lot
of
opposition
to
that
and
we
purchased
those
buildings
with
tax
increment
financing
dollars
and
today
a
couple
of
those
buildings
have
celebrated
their
fifth
and
sixth
anniversary:
getting
ready
to
celebrate
their
sixth
and
seventh
anniversary
and
they're
very
successful
and
one
is
Ward
8
and
one
is
peckish
big
they've
both
received
every
award.
You
can
possibly
get
locally
for
dining
and
liquor.
One
one
was
the
first
few
pub
in
Evanston.
K
We
got
criticism
but
Wally
supported
it.
The
patio
at
peckish
Pig,
which
is
really
and
I
sure
Amy
Morton,
won't
mind
taking
a
back
seat
to
this,
but
it
is
the
best
patio
in
the
entire
city
of
Evanston.
We
also
built
the
first
new
parking
lot
on
right
on
Howard
Street,
one
of
the
buildings
we
purchased.
We
knocked
down
and
built
a
parking
lot.
I
mean
none
of
this.
You
know
he
one
of
Wally's
biggest
faults
is
he
doesn't
take
any
credit?
In
fact,
he
sometimes
give
gives
credit
where
it's
not
due.
K
It's
really
due
to
Wally,
really
it
is
he
he
has
been
the
driving
force
behind
very
quietly,
but
behind
many
major
accomplishments
in
this
town.
I
think
one
of
the
most
important
things
to
know
is
that
in
the
time
he's
been
here
since
we've
been
working
on
Howard
Street,
which
was
and
of
course,
the
first
year
he
got
here,
but
it
was,
we
were
setting
the
groundwork.
There
have
been
12
purchases
of
new
businesses
and
new
owners
between
Javan
you
and
the
tracks
on
Howard
Street
of
people
who
saw
what
he
was
behind.
K
You
know
behind
the
scenes.
What
Johanna
and
I
didn't
me
and
the
economic
development
department
was
pulling
off
that
came
in,
and
this
was
this
is
what
happens
with
the
tippet.
If
it's
working
correctly,
the
private
sector
caught
on
the
fire
caught
on
and
they
bought
into
it,
they
didn't
need
any
money
from
us.
They
saw
that
they
could.
They
could
be
successful.
So
we
have
12,
including
the
few
that
we
purchased
12
new
owners
that
are
doing
just
fine,
so
I
mean
I.
K
Think
it's
been
just
a
huge
success
and
I
really
really
congratulate
Wally.
He
made
that
a
success
and
there's
there's
just
no
two
ways
about
it:
there's
nothing!
He
can't
deny
it.
You
know
that
Wally
and
so
I,
you
know
I
wasn't
I
was
pretty
much
a
failure
until
he
got
here
and
now
I
mean
it
really,
everybody
everybody
really,
the
eighth
Lord
thanks
you
from
the
bottom
of
our
hearts.
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
K
Just
one
more
thing:
let
us
North
light:
it's
not
the
only
Performing
Arts
Theatre
in
the
city
of
Evanston,
who
would
have
ever
thought
that
Howard
Street
would
have
the
only
performing
arts
theater
on
a
street
in
the
city
of
Evanston
right
now,
so
we're
glad
to
help
out
north
light
with
anything
they
need.
But
we
are
the
Performing
Arts
Theatre
in
the
city
of
Evanston
and
while
he
made
that
happen,
Thank
You,
Wally,
Thank.
L
L
I
thought
we
should
be
doing,
and
it
has
taken
now
five
years
for
us
to
hit
me
on
the
council
for
us
to
start
moving
it,
but
he
was
very
patient
and
you
know
even
entertaining
what
I
thought
about
racial
equity
in
the
city
should
be
doing
in
my
role
as
an
intern,
and
we
probably
like
Harmon
breakaway,
have
learned
to
argue
respectfully
on
many
different
things,
but
I
know
that
he
hears
me.
We
don't
always
agree,
probably
I'm
a
little
difficult
to
manage,
I
will
admit,
but
he
he
smiles.
L
Even
if
he's
not
smiling
in
his
heart.
He
smiles
it
smile.
You
know
and
I
appreciate
that
I
live
with
the
man
who
does
the
same
thing
so
I
appreciate
that,
but
I
do
know
that
he
really
wanted
to
get
back
to
your
family
and
I
know
how
important
that
is.
Is
someone
who
has
lived
away
from
family
so
I'm
glad
that
you
all
finally
making
that
happen
and
that
while
it
will
be
raised
with
his
grandparents
and
we
wish
you
the
best
in
your
new
position.
Thank.
B
So
I
just
like
to
make
a
couple
remarks:
myself,
Wally,
you
brought
to
life
the
Athenian
oath.
You
talk
about
it
all
the
time
you
swear
people
in
when
they
become
Alderman
here
in
the
city,
and
that
is
to
work
hard
to
transmit
this
city,
better,
greater
and
more
beautiful
than
it
was
transmitted.
When
you
arrived
I
think
you
are
the
epitome
of
the
Athenian
oath
of
citizenship.
B
I
listened
as
all
the
aldermen
you
know,
spoke
and
praised
your
tenure
and
I
just
want
to
leave
people
with
what
does
the
bob
quits
error?
Look
like
in
Evanston,
it's
a
safer
City
part.
One
crimes
have
dropped
more
than
30
percent.
Since
2009
the
Evanston
fire
department
was
a
class-3.
When
you
started
it's
now
a
class
one
at
which
there
are
only
about
300
departments
in
the
entire
country
that
qualify
r31.
One
system
that
you
and
your
team
came
here
and
set
up
now
handles
more
than
1
million
calls
in
its
duration.
B
It's
handled
more
than
1
million
calls.
It's
incredible,
I'm
not
going
to
mention
the
things
that
other
aldermen
have
already
mentioned.
Water
sales
have
expanded
tremendously.
It
is
a
revenue
source
for
this
city.
It
is
good
for
our
neighboring
cities
and
that
alone
happened
under
your
tenure.
The
Evanston
Erie
Skokie,
Health
Center
was
established
and
expanded
with
your
leadership.
This
councils,
leadership,
mayor
Tisdale's
leadership
and
our
senators
Fountain
Square
people
are
enjoying
it
every
day.
B
Now
the
bike
lanes
in
this
city
again
I
just
want
to
stress
this
all
happened
under
your
leadership,
but
with
the
council
that
you
served
and
with
the
employees
that
you've
had
here
in
the
citizens
of
this
city,
the
Emerson
Square,
affordable
housing
project,
the
18
million
dollar
NSP
project
provides
housing
for
over
a
hundred
families.
Now,
thanks
to
that
project,
the
gibbs
morrison
center
a
community
center,
the
robert
crown
project,
which
is
underway
and
and
will
soon
be
completed
within
the
next
year,
a
project
that
had
really
been
worked
on
about
the
entire
time.
B
You
were
here,
the
Emerson
Green
Bay
Ridge
renovation
projects
is
now
complete.
All
of
the
new
downtown
shops,
the
Trader
Joe's,
the
targets,
the
Whole
Foods,
the
Net
Zero
Walgreens,
the
Benny's,
all
all
of
those
all
the
revitalization
that
alderman
Rainey
talked
about
in
the
eighth
ward
and
the
south
part
of
Evanston
Evanson
Township
was
dissolved.
Those
services
were
observed,
observed
here
and
then,
of
course,
the
youth
and
young
adult
division
of
the
city
and
the
the
greatest
thing
I
think
you've
left
us
with
is
an
incredible
team.
B
It's
really
I
know
you're,
really
proud
of
it.
I
hope.
All
of
the
folks
that
are
sitting
in
this
room
are
proud
of
the
team
that
serves
the
city
of
Evanston.
So
on
behalf
of
all
the
residents
of
Evans
and
on
behalf
of
the
Evanston
City
Council
I'd
like
to
present
you
with
this
plaque
from
the
city
of
Evanston,
for
your
outstanding
service
to
our
city
for
the
last
10
years,.
M
Near
Haggerty,
members
of
the
City
Council,
thank
you
for
your
kind
words
I'd,
like
to
just
take
a
few
minutes
to
reflect
and
to
really
recognize
this
wonderful
community.
First
and
foremost,
I
am
most
proud
of
the
team.
I
wrote
down
names.
The
names
when
I
first
arrived
here
were
Wally
Marty,
Joe
and
Jack
Siegel,
and
there
now
Erica
story
kimberly,
richardson,
paulina
martinez,
a
michelle
mason
cuff.
That
is
your
management.
M
Those
are
your
senior
managers
and
I'm
so
proud
of
them
and
I'm
so
proud
of
everyone
who
works
so
hard
every
day
to
make
this
a
wonderful
community.
All
of
you
thank
you
for
what
you
do.
Thank
you
for
coming.
Thank
you
for
saying
the
things
that
you
say.
Please
don't
stop
it.
This
community
depends
on
you.
Democracy
depends
on
you.
You
can
know
how
to
come
here
because
of
all
of
these
nice
people.
M
This
is
a
community
that
is
covered
by
the
press
more
than
any
community
our
size,
clearly
more
than
Issaquah
the
daily
Northwestern.
How
many
raise
your
hand
if
you're
reporting
for
the
daily
Northwestern
tonight,
one
two
three
four?
So
there
are
four
reporters
here
covering
the
items
here.
So
while
you
may
not
get
the
print
edition
of
the
daily
Northwestern,
it
is
on
the
internet
and
anyone
in
this
community
can
stay
abreast
of
what's
going
on.
M
So
thank
you
and
to
all
the
men
and
women
who
have
come
before
you,
the
Avastin
patch
they're,
never
here,
but
they
do
write
about
us.
The
Evanston
roundtable
that
we
can
support
the
number
of
print
newspapers
in
this
community
I
thank
a
Marion,
Larry
Gavin
and
Bob
Seidenberg
Bob.
Thank
you
for
coming
back
from
your
exile
and
the
far
reaches
of
the
kingdoms
but
Bob.
How
many
years
have
you
covered
Evans
since
the
early
80s?
M
So
so
bob
has
been
here,
sat
through
council
meetings
and
many
of
you
remember
when
people
would
wait
for
the
evanston
review
to
come
out
because
for
at
least
the
early
part
of
those
years,
that
was
it.
If
you
wanted
to
find
out
what
happened
in
this
community,
you
read
the
Evanston
review,
the
Chicago
Tribune
and
the
Evanston
review.
M
M
Now
that
level
of
coverage
that
level
of
detail
I
joke
in
recent
years,
when
I
travel,
I,
don't
watch
the
council
meetings
anymore,
if
I'm
out
of
town
I
just
keep
my
phone
down
close
and
I
read
the
blogging
that
the
bill
does
of
every
single
meeting
these
individuals,
these
men
and
women,
that
there
the
press
exists
here
in
Evanston
of
the
way
that
it
does
and
informs
this
community
like
it
does,
is
probably
the
greatest
key
of
all
to
democracy
and
I
wish.
All
of
you
the
very
best.
Please
keep
writing
I.
M
Certainly,
don't
always
agree
with
what
you
write,
but
you
inform
this
community
and
that's
so
important.
The
elected
officials
that
I've
had
a
chance
to
work
with
to
City
Clerk's,
Rodney,
green
and
davon
Reed
members
of
the
Illinois

Daniel,
Biss
Robin
gable
door,
fine
John,
forgone,
Gershowitz
I
think
is
all
of
Ann
wind
mentioned
when
I
arrived
here.
M
Intergovernmental
relations
were
discussed
at
the
August
Rules
Committee
meeting,
where
Jeff
Schoenberg,
who
was
the
state
senator
at
the
time,
came
to
one
meeting
and
there
was
never
a
discussion
again
about
what
was
happening
in
Springfield
or
in
Washington
and
I.
Think
we've
been
able
to
change
that
county
commissioner
Larry
suffered
and
who
looks
after
this
community
very
closely
and,
of
course,
congresswoman
jan
Schakowsky
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
for
17
Evanston
residents
who
have
served
on
the
City
Council.
Let
me
first
recognize
Mary
Elizabeth
Tisdale
her
leadership.
M
During
eight
years,
many
of
you
talked
about
the
accomplishments
during
my
term
of
other
marriages,
those
accomplishments
and
her
leadership
in
this
community,
so
very
important
lyonell
john
baptiste
Colleen
Burris
Dolores
Holmes
mark
Kendall,
Jane,
Grover
and
Bryan
Miller.
Other
members
of
the
council
who
I
have
served
was
certainly
the
loris
Holmes,
the
the
really
the
conscience
of
the
City
Council.
M
Certainly
in
many
discussions,
her
thoughtful
leadership
I
think
everyone
benefited
from
Mark
tandem,
Jane,
Grover,
Colleen,
all
important
people,
Lionel
jean-baptiste
you've
talked
about
the
focus
all
of
the
great
weight
on
youth
and
young
adult.
Really
that's
the
foundation
that
Lionel
john
baptiste
builds
I
just
came
along
and
and
listened
to
him
and
understood
what
he
wanted
to
see
happen
and
I
think
the
success
there
really
is
is
Lion
else,
members
of
the
Dyess
here
today,
alderman
Fleming.
Thank
you
what
you
have
said.
M
We
sometimes
agree
to
disagree,
but
your
passion
and
commitment
for
Evanston
is
is
unmatched
and
I.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
work
with
you
on
that
all
been
suffered
in.
You
are
blessed
with
Central
Street,
with
no
parking,
and
so
we
talk
over
and
over
and
over
again
about
how
we
can
provide
parking
on
Central
Street.
How
we
can
invest
in
lovely,
far
calculate
and
make
sure
infrastructure
takes
place
in
your
work.
M
So
I
appreciate
the
conversations
we've
had
and
appreciate
your
your
support
during
my
time
as
city
manager,
all
Monroe
Simmons,
it's
been
an
honor
and
a
privilege
to
work
with
you
I
agree
the
conversations
we've
had
about
setting
high
goals.
You
have
set
some
very
high
goals
for
this
community
moving
forward
and
I
will
look
with
great
interest
as
I
move
forward
on
how
the
council,
in
the
community
meet
the
goals
that
you
set
for
them.
Alderman
Revell.
M
You
are
blessed
and
cursed
with
Northwestern
University,
along
with
Alderman
Fisk
and
a
little
bit
of
alderman
druh
Simmons,
but
but
certainly
under
you
understand
the
importance
of
that
balance
and
I
think
everyone
on
the
council.
Certainly
all
the
members
of
the
council
that
work
with
Northwestern
I'll
do
that.
So
I
appreciate
your
your
leadership
and
your
support.
All
in
Braithwaite.
M
There's
no
hugging
in
local
government
first
of
all,
but
but
all
of
them
Braithwaite
again
you
care
so
passionately
so
deeply.
You
have
a
day
job
though,
and
you
know,
and
that
day
job
gets
in
the
way
of
your
caring
and
compassion
and
often
times
you
are
driving
to
and
from
some
appointment
for
your
day
job,
but
you're,
always
spending
that
time
focused
and
caring
about
the
community,
so
I'm
privileged
to
work
with
you.
The
remaining
four
members
of
the
council
were
on
the
council
that
hired
me
other
than
Fisk.
M
We
have
also
spent
many
time
hours
talking
about
the
world
and
philosophizing
on
how
things
can
be
better.
I
appreciate
your
support.
I
appreciate
your
support
of
me
early
on
in
our
work
with
North
Washington,
because
while
we
were
making
great
progress,
you
were
always
careful
to
caution
that
that
progress
always
can
come
at
a
price,
and
so
I
appreciate
your
counsel.
There,
Alan
Wilson
I,
think
you
have
taken
the
mantle
of
the
conscience
of
the
council
from
alderman,
Holmes
and
I
think
that's
an
important
role.
M
It
says
sometimes
thankless
role,
but
please
keep
doing
it
because
of
the
community
and
this
council
better
serve
by
that
all
the
man
win.
We
got
Trader
Joe's
and
that
will
always
be
they'll,
always
be
the
most
important
thing
that
in
telling
a
very
a
very
high-powered
Chicago
developer,
they
couldn't
build
a
one-story
CVS
at
the
main
in
Chicago
and
today
you
know
that
development
really
has
helped
a
supercharged
what's
going
on
in
the
main
Dempster
mile.
M
As
you
do
every
day,
every
moment
of
every
day,
I've
joked
I've
heard
from
you
I
think
every
hour
of
every
day,
I
think
I've,
gotten
phone
calls
from
you
from
midnight
to
midnight
over
the
course
of
10
years,
because
you
would
see
something
wrong.
You
would
hear
something
from
a
constituent
and
you
were
not
satisfied
until
it
was
resolved
so
working
so
diligently
on
that
investing
in
Howard,
Street
I
think
we
were
able
to
show
Evanston
how
redevelopment
work
and
I
don't
know
that.
M
How
much
didn't
really
saw
how
redevelopment
work
prior
to
the
work
on
Howard,
Street
and
then
finally,
Stephen
Howard
Haggerty,
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Evanston?
What
a
pleasure
when
honor
has
been
you
and
I
were
acquainted
because
of
our
Syracuse
connection
before
my
time
as
your
time
as
mayor,
but
but
you
care
so
deeply
for
this
community.
You
care
so
deeply
about
democracy
and
I.
Think
everything
you
do
as
mayor.
Every
decision
that
you
make
first
and
foremost
you're
thinking
about
democracy,
you're
thinking
about
how
this
community
is
affected.
M
So
I've
learned
from
you
and
I'm
very
proud
to
have
served
with
you.
Evanston
will
always
be
a
very
special
place
for
me
not
because
of
all
the
things,
not
only
because
of
all
the
things
we
talked
about,
because
it's
also
a
place
where
I
started
my
family.
My
wife
Patrice
is
here
her
first
Evanston
City
Council
meeting
in
ten
years.
M
M
Last
yes,
I
asked
her
the
Seaview
she
wanted
to
break
the
record.
You
know
mostly
it's
coming
in
after
midnight
and
her
her
looking
up
in
a
darkened
room
asking.
So
how
did
it
go
and
I
always
saw
it
went
fine?
It
really
matter
than
she
reads:
Evanston
now
the
next
morning
and
finds
out
what
really
happened
but
but
Patrice.
Thank
you
for
your
support.
We
were
married
as
I
know.
Many
of
you
know
we
were
married.
The
week
the
week
we
were
married.
The
first
interview
for
this
job
was
the
week
before
the
wedding.
M
The
second
interview
for
the
job
was
the
week
we
got
back
from
the
honeymoon
we
moved
here
as
newlyweds
lived
in
an
apartment
together,
how
to
learn
a
lot
about
each
other
and
the
police,
being
the
wife
of
a
city
manager
all
in
a
very
short
period
of
time.
So
thank
you
for
that
will
support.
Patrice
we've
also
been
able
to
raise
our
son
Wally.
The
fourth
I
think
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
thank
the
Evanston
YMCA.
They
provided
a
wonderful
program.
We've
been
so
lucky
to
have
Wally
the
fourth
at
the
line.
M
Let
me
conclude
with
a
final
observation:
the
business
of
government
at
all
levels
is
in
crisis.
Government
is
asked
to
provide
many
services
which
all
come
at
a
cost:
the
balancing
of
these
needed
expenditures
and
the
resources
to
provide
them
the
difficult
work
at
best.
Please
remember
and
I
say
this
to
you
and
I
say
this
to
all
of
you:
nice
people,
the
residents
of
Evanston.
Please
remember
that
the
elected
officials
and
the
staff
that
work
for
them
are
people
too
trying
to
deliver
that
needed
balance.
M
We
try
to
deliver
that
needed
balance
for
everyone
in
the
community
police
appreciate
how
difficult
this
work
is
and
make
sure
that
your
individual
voice
is
heard.
Too
often,
a
very
small
group
of
people
work
hard
to
make
their
loud
voices
heard,
above
all,
others
for
democracy
to
work.
Every
voice
must
be
heard
again.
Thank
you
for
the
privilege
of
serving
as
a
city
manager
of
Evanston
has
been
the
honor
my
professional
career.
Thank
you
all.
B
C
Just
wanted
to
say
one
more
thing
for
Wally,
so
Wally
I
have
every
Monday
I
for
520
Mondays.
We
have
the
Monday
morning.
Check-In
call
if
you
need
anything
or
want
anything,
give
us
a
call
otherwise
we'll
see
you
tonight
and
I'll
miss
that
next
Monday.
So
if
you
need
anything
or
want
anything,
please
give
us
a
call
all.
B
Right
all
right,
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
and
go
into
public
comment
as
folks
I
think.
Most
folks
know
we
set
aside
45
minutes
for
public
comment,
and
then
we
divide
the
number
of
speakers
that
we
have
by
that
today.
We've
got
around
25
speakers,
so
I'm
gonna
put
everybody
at
a
minute
45
today
and
I'm
gonna
ask
deputy
clerk
Gomez
just
to
help
us
keep
track
of
time.
So
you
get
a
minute
45
for
public
comment
and
we'll
start
with
James
angle
and
then
Mike
for
silica.
Then
Harris
Miller.
N
N
B
O
Two
quick
things
before
my
third
item:
a3:
please
vote
no
against
spending
$150,000
for
the
convenience
of
finding
an
open
parking
space
item.
A
nine
I've
sent
a
lengthy
email
to
everyone
with
schedule
regarding
cya
and
ey
H
a
those
agreements
at
the
bird
lease.
Please
deny
the
cya
agreement
I
understand
now
they're
calling
at
their
home
rink.
The
ice
rinks
alone
are
costing
Evanston
residents
twenty
three
million
dollars
at
least
let
Evanston
kids
use
it
during
prime
time
the
cya
owns
or
leases
ice
facilities
near
the
Chicago
area
and
in
the
region.
O
They
don't
need
to
use
our
prime
time
so
let
our
citizens
use
it
at
least
part
of
the
prime
time
Wally.
You
have
obviously
maybe
the
council
very
happy
over
the
years
and
I
hate
to
be
a
party
pooper,
but
I
saw
the
evidence
in
the
ROM
table
article
you
wrote,
I
was
at
the
mash-up
I
witnessed
the
lovefest
heard
their
speech
that
night.
Despite
all
of
that,
and
all
these
opportunities,
you
overlooked
many
of
your
accomplishments.
O
So
please,
let
me
complete
list,
I
mean
no
disrespect,
but
these
are
important
facts
and
acts
that
the
council
is
also
responsible
for
the
fact.
In
the
past
five
years
alone,
you've
managed
to
increase
the
total
city
debt
by
eighty
eight
million
dollars
to
a
new
unprecedented
two
hundred
and
seventy
million
dollars
there.
Are
they
one
for
one
and
a
ratio,
a
city
budget
to
the
entire
city,
debt
by.
B
P
All
right
good
evening,
Harris
Miller,
Fourth,
Ward
police
vote,
no
on
items
a
nine
and
eight
ten,
the
cya
and
ey
H.
A
groups
will
consume
prime
time
in
the
afternoon
swish
evening
in
on
weakens,
win
ovens
and
residents
should
have
priority
to
use
the
two
ice
rinks
that
will
cost
twenty
three
million
dollars
about
half
of
the
a
crown
project
costs.
P
Also,
the
cost
is
ten
thousand
dollars
per
year
to
join
cya
ey
H,
a
in
similar
leagues
minorities,
including
middle
and
working
class
residents,
cannot
afford
outrageous
costs
because
the
league's
favorite
one
percenters,
if
we
create
an
affordable
public
league,
that's
equitable
for
all
residents.
Perhaps
there
will
be
stronger
support.
I
urge
City
Council
to
not
ignore
Evanston
status,
a
majority
because
we
have
an
equitable
stake
in
robert
crown
as
a
public
place.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
Q
You
that's
the
text
of
what
I'm
gonna
say
how
just
in
case
I
don't
finish
good
evening.
My
name
is
Ken
Prachi
I
reside
at
1323,
Chancellor
Street
I'm
here
to
continue
public
comment
on
the
YouTube
text
amendment
there
are
over
50
Central
Street
businesses
who
sign
the
petition
to
oppose
this
amendment
and
have
told
us
that
their
shops
are
virtually
deserted
on
large
event
days.
Q
Why
locals
stay
away
because
it's
a
monumental
hassle
to
get
there
and
there's
no
parking
anyway
event
spectators
walk
by,
but
they
don't
spend,
except
for
a
few
restaurants
and
sports
apparel
shops.
Think
about
it.
If
you're
attending
a
professional
tennis
match,
would
you
stop
somewhere
to
buy
Neil
craft
supplies,
bread
and
I
exam,
a
pedicure,
a
haircut
or
a
guitar?
Q
Large
events
actually
hurt
not
help.
Many
of
these
small
businesses,
the
more
days
with
big
events,
the
more
days
that
locals
will
shop
elsewhere,
the
more
economic
hardship
for
businesses,
the
more
risks
that
they
will
not
survive
or
move
somewhere
else.
If
they
leave
what
types
of
businesses
will
replace
them.
If
the
goal
is
to
create
a
regional
entertainment
destination,
as
stated
in
Northwestern's
application,
then
it
seems
inevitable
that
more
restaurants
and
bars
will
move
in
the
neighborhood.
Will
change.
Q
Is
this
consistent
with
the
purpose
of
the
Central
Street
corridor
overlay
zoning
district,
which
City
Council
created
to
implement
the
recommendations
in
the
Central
Street
master
plan
to
attract
small
businesses
to
the
corridor?
When
you
read
the
purpose
statement
for
this
corridor,
it
says
it's
created
to
sustain
and
enhance
the
quarter
as
a
location
for
diverse,
unique,
small-scale
pedestrian,
oriented
retail
shops
services.
Restaurants,
to
encourage
a
healthy
mix
of
uses
along
the
corridor
to
preserve
independent
and
unique
use.
So
please
consider
the
impact
of
the
text.
Q
Amendment
can
I
finish
my
paragraph
inpatient
area
on
this
overlay
district
and
the
diverse
small,
unique
businesses
that
have
been
attracted
here.
Increasing
the
number
of
days
with
huge
events
from
29
to
42
days
per
year,
will
make
it
even
harder
for
many
of
them.
The
text
amendment
is
not
only
incompatible
with
the
purpose
of
the
YouTube
district,
which
is
predominantly
residential,
but
it
also
seems
inconsistent
with
the
goals
and
purpose
of
the
business
overlay
district.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Can
Lin.
R
My
comment
is
also
about
the
you
two
proposed
zoning
change.
My
name
is
Lin
bednar
I
live
in
the
neighborhood
of
Northwestern
at
26,
71,
Prairie
and
I'm,
also
the
owner
of
Walsh
natural
health
at
21,
16,
central
street
I'm.
Speaking
on
behalf
of
myself,
as
well
as
my
fellow
businesses,
a
few
of
which
are
here
tonight.
R
54
of
us
have
signed
a
petition
against
the
proposed
zoning
change.
I
just
want
to
be
clear,
I'm,
not
making
the
statement
on
behalf
of
the
Central
Street
Business
Association,
because
we
do
have
a
handful
of
bars
and
restaurants
that
do
support
it.
First
and
foremost,
I,
don't
see
the
benefit
to
the
community
of
the
proposed
change.
Evanston
already
hosts
many
cultural
and
entertainment
events
in
more
appropriate
locations.
It
seems
to
me
primarily
about
Northwestern
increasing
its
revenues.
R
In
addition,
I'm
told
there
are
locations
on
Northwestern's
campus
where
concerts
and
other
events
like
this
can
be
held.
So
I'm
not
sure
why
we're
adding
these
to
an
already
difficult
situation
that
we
have
in
this
neighborhood
as
a
business
owner
on
the
street.
I
can
firmly
state
that
Northwestern's
events
caused
a
decline,
not
an
increase
in
business
on
game
days.
You
could
probably
shoot
a
cannon
through
several
most
of
our
stores
and
in
addition,
they're
taking
up
parking.
R
You
know
we're
constantly
fighting
with
the
city
about
the
lot,
that's
directly
across
from
a
store,
so
I
have
a
front
row
seat
to
it.
That
lot
is
always
full
of
Northwestern,
game,
goers
and
so
I.
Think.
The
sad
thing
is
we're
gonna
be
losing
business
not
on
get
just
game
days,
but
people
are
gonna,
get
tired
of
the
parking
issues
and
the
access
issues
to
this
neighborhood.
You
know
we
can't
depend
on
people
because
of
the
internet
to
come
back
another
day
now,
they're,
just
gonna
buy
elsewhere.
R
F
B
You
just
just
so
folks
folks
know.
I
know.
People
are
speaking
on
this.
That
item
of
the
Nu
zoning
request,
change,
isn't
on
this
evening's
agenda.
Okay,
just
so
folks
know
Lin!
Oh
no
wait!
Excuse
me!
Patricia
hunt,
it's
Patricia
here,
okay,
Patricia
hunt,
then
Lynch
Altman,
the
mr.
Wittenberg.
S
I
said
so,
I
saw
alderman,
Robert
and
rule
the
other
rememberence
to
picnic
and
I
told
her
I
said
you
know
what
I
told
her
about
it
and
she
said:
well,
you
the
first
and
only
person
in
the
fifth
Ward
that
ever
complained
about
the
right
condition
and
I've
had
all
the
neighborhood's,
the
neighbors
all
talking
about
them.
I
said
what
I'll
tell
you
what
I
said?
S
If
y'all
can't
do
nothing
about
it,
I
would
do
like
I
did
in
2001
when
I
called
the
news
stations,
2
5
7
9,
and
show
them
about
the
West
Nile
virus
when
showed
them
all
the
dead
birds
that
was
all
over
then.
After
that
debate
meant
they
hadn't
sprayed
in
12
years.
They
came
out
and
they
had
not
stopped
since
number.
S
So
what
had
happened
now
this
and
I've
owned
the
home
here
before,
and
there
is
ordinance
that
you
cannot
go
past
your
house
on
the
front
and
go
all
the
way
around
the
front,
no
more
than
with
a
fence,
no
more
than
four
feet.
High.
The
neighbor
at
18
20
has
a
foot,
that's
five
feet
and
six
and
five
inches
okay
and
big,
and
it
goes
all
the
way
around
the
whole
front
to
the
sidewalk
of
the
house.
When
I
came
out
of
that
house
when
I
come
out
of
there.
S
I
am
scared,
because
you
cannot
see
nowhere
down
the
street.
You
can't
see
the
innocent,
you
don't
know
who's
standing
there.
Then
he
got
bushes.
That's
almost
six
feet
high
going
on
across
the
whole
front
city
inspectors,
cars
I
run
up,
driving
up
and
down
grey
and
brown
all
day
long.
So
how
did
somebody
let
him
have
this
and
people's
safety
I
go
to
go
to
my
car
I'm
scared
to
look
around
okay.
B
G
M
B
Okay,
I'll
look
into
that
too.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mrs.
hunt
Erica
can
connect
her
with
Johanna
I,
think
she's
in
the
library;
okay,
all
right,
Thank,
You,
Lynn,
Lynn,
you're
up
you're
up
next
and
then
misty
rittenberg
in
the
Navy
Russell.
T
Hi
thanks
for
listening,
my
name
is
Lynn
Troutman
I'm
at
chance,
wood,
Chancellor
and
Eastwood
I'm.
Also
one
of
the
voices
that
usually
doesn't
come
to
the
a
quiet,
citizen
and
I
watch
behind
the
scenes
for
the
most
part
here
to
talk
about
the
you
to
text.
Amendment
I
understand
that
many
City
Council
members
were
wined
and
dined
by
northwestern
on
the
14th
in
the
Wilson
Club.
T
Okay
in
this
mix
of
five
minutes
in
my
backyard,
I
saw
an
Audi
partially
blocking
my
very
tiny
driveway
I
saw
people
play
piling
into
a
black
SUV
with
open
liquor
in
hand
and
I
saw
an
extremely
drunk
middle-aged
woman.
Staggering
across
my
front
lawn.
The
neighbor
just
told
me
that
that
night
someone
had
gone
all
down
central
and
broken
all
the
Potter,
potting
or
pots,
and
pulled
out
all
the
plants
between
Hartree
and
McDaniel.
So
that's
what
six
collegiate
games
looks
like
in
my
neighborhood.
T
U
I
want
to
say,
I
live
on,
miss
Hunts
block
and
I
can
attest
to
the
rats.
So
now
that
mayor
that
you're
here
and
we're
actually
having
this
opportunity,
I'm
hoping
that
you
can
clarify
why
you
indicated
to
us
at
the
July
15th
meeting
that
the
city
had
hired
outside
counsel,
to
investigate
the
three
workplace,
complaints
against
the
Clerk
and
that's
what
also
what
it
appears.
U
You
told
the
city,
officials
and
staff
and
sheriff
dart
and
what
you
were
prepared
to
file
the
kim
fox's
office,
because
the
investigation
for
that
matter,
which
is
on
invoices
as
matter
zero,
one,
nine
one,
zero.
Two
and
three
started
more
than
a
month
before
those
complaints
were
filed,
at
least
as
early
as
March
twenty-fifth.
All
of
those
complaints
were
filed.
It
appears
on
the
same
day
which
was
April
26th.
U
I
also
wanted
to
clarify
why
you
told
the
sheriff
that
my
request
to
the
city
was
the
first
indication
the
city
had
for
executive
session
information
being
disclosed
because,
according
to
city
records,
not
only
did
you
know
about
that
information
being
previously
previously
leaked.
You
knew
an
unauthorized
meeting
was
held
by
an
unprivileged
person
about
that
information,
so
I'm
not
sure
why
you
would
omit
that
from
the
request
for
an
investigation
to
the
sheriff
on
the
same
matter.
U
Well,
actually,
I
didn't
know
why
so
I
just
will
end
in
saying
that
the
the
severity
of
the
situation
for
any
officials
or
staff
who
have
any
amount
of
information
I'm
not
saying
anyone's
fully
aware
of
the
whole
thing.
You
should
not
be
disclosing
it
to
me
anymore
or
to
anyone
else.
You
should
bring
it
to
sheriff
dart
or
to
the
state's
attorney,
and
you
should
do
it
immediately,
because
it's
becoming
a
very
serious
issue.
Thank
you.
V
My
name
is
Amira,
so
let
me
read
you
something
being
a
diverse
community,
the
leaders
of
the
city
learned
long
ago
that
when
something
is
severely
detrimental
to
one
group
of
citizens
in
one
part
of
town,
it
is
detrimental
to
us
all.
Does
when
an
entire
neighborhood
generation
of
the
generation
rises
up
in
protest.
We
know
that
our
fellow
evidenced
onehans
will
feel
our
pain.
Do
what
is
right
and
help
us
in
our
time
of
travail.
So
will
our
elected
representatives?
V
Of
course
this
has
all
been
said
before,
and
that
is
why
our
city
leaders
enacted
the
laws
that
now
exist
the
tragedies
that
we
have
to
fight
this
battle.
Once
again,
this
is
a
letter
that
girl,
Jehovah,
who
is
now
74,
wrote
to
the
Honorable
Logan
Morton
in
1996
and
I
will
give
you
a
copy
of
that
letter
and
he
mentions
at
the
very
end
of
this
letter.
V
Around
and
I
think
that
present
is
an
issue
that
you
have
to
consider,
and
you
have
to
consider
your
history
and
innumerable
hours
that
previous
council
members
and
CBA
members
spent
and
the
amount
of
money
that
the
city
spent
to
fight,
know
Western
because
of
the
issue
of
precedent,
and
it
will
occur
again
if
you
pass
the
zoning
ordinance.
The
text
amendment,
here's
the
lever,
you.
W
This
is
a
group
that
is
a
very
elite
group
of
four
that
are
allowed
at
the
triple-a
level
that
really
promotes
exclusivity
and
an
increase
in
prices
and
drives
up
prices
for
hockey.
I'd
like
to
read
to
you
from
the
Chicago
cranes
Association
article
there's
a
lot
of
money
in
it
to
the
clubs
are
nonprofit
organizations
which
of
which
Chicago
you
youth
Americans
is
one
of
four.
There
are
they're
nonprofit
organizations
but
they're
kin
to
give
the
kids
version
of
a
pro
team
run
by
paid
administrators
and
coaches.
W
Many
families
play
at
least
$10,000
to
participate
and
bankroll
the
costs
of
ice
time,
equipment,
hockey,
directors,
coaches,
trainers
according
to
the
people
involved
in
the
sport,
and
this
figure
doesn't
include
the
cost
of
travel
and
accommodation
for
two
tournaments.
Why
are
we
promoting
and
allowing
an
association
like
this
to
enter
in
and
use
our
community
center
when
we
say
we're
looking
at
everything
through
a
lens
of
equity
that
just
doesn't
sound
like
Evanston
to
me.
Thank
you.
E
E
Whatever
you
see.
Fourth,
we
try
to
make
that
happen
through
our
NHL
diversity
program.
With
that
being
said,
I
recently
had
been
married,
I
have
two
kids,
and
one
of
them
is
a
girl
and
once
I
knew
that
she
was
a
girl.
I
was
like
wow
I'm
set
for
college,
because
if
I
can
get
her
into
hockey,
they
are
going
to
fly
into
those
colleges.
So
that
is
the
reason
why
hockey
is
so
important
to
me.
E
It's
just
a
gateway
to
perseverance,
hard
work,
dedication
and
it
really
shows
what
one
can
do
outside
of
the
rink
and
that's
what
kind
of
brought
me
into
it.
The
girls
that
have
been
in
our
programs
are
now
at
Dartmouth,
Penn,
State,
getting
scholarships
and,
and
things
like
that,
and
it
all
started
from
playing
Evanston
hockey
and
get
at
the
Robert
Crown
Community,
Center
and
I
just
really
urge
it's
a
having
cya
at
this
rink
is
only
going
to
bring
more
girls
that
cya
girls
program.
E
X
Don't
ski
I'm
actually
sent
asking
you
not
to
sign
the
cya,
not
because
to
counter
anything
Dale
said,
but
because
I
think
that
it's
not
a
good,
financially
responsible
agreement
process,
let's
go
back
and
renegotiate,
it
I
mean
look
around
it.
Whether
hockey
drinks
are
at
and
they're
like
the
Northbrook
Ice
Arena,
which
was
we
preferred.
X
You
in
the
cranes
magazine
as
a
really
good
model
to
look
at
here
is
one
of
them
for
16-hour
and
when
I
say
minimum,
it
doesn't
include
all
the
extra
amenities
if
this
draft
is
going
for,
we
have
a
huge
spell
yeah.
That
facility
is
gonna,
cost
us
three
million
dollars
a
year
starting
in
two
years,
and
we
need
all
the
revenue
and
I
just
ask
you
to
go
back.
X
Look
at
the
draft
negotiate
something
really
good
and
also
look
at
the
primetime
versus
non
prime
time
and
make
sure
they
stuff
in
there
for
figure
skaters
and
the
other
skaters
that
around
ii
don't
want
to
talk.
You're
coming
up
to
the
text.
Amendment
come
October.
This
will
be
the
second
time
I've
had
to
fight
with
this
battle.
You
know
a
lot
of
seventh
world
people
are
here
often
over
the
years,
because
we
have
a
huge
boundary
issue.
X
We've
got
the
biggest
entity
in
the
city
on
our
borders,
always
pushing
forward
always
pushing
forward,
and
then
we
have
other
things
going
on.
So
we
need
to
come
up
here
and
explain
to
people
cuz.
There
is
nowhere
else
in
this
community
that
has
their
kind
of
thing,
except
for
possibly
Howard
Street,
which
has
Chicago
coming
in
on
it.
But
we
have,
you
know
45,000
people
coming
in
five
seven
times
a
year.
X
In
addition
to
all
the
other
things,
this
is
a
neighborhood
in
Evanston
was
built
on
a
on
a
system
of
neighborhoods,
and
this
is
the
only
place
I
can
find
being
in
real
estate,
where
a
community
is
actually
considering
putting
a
commercial
Hannity
of
this
size
in
a
residential
neighborhood.
Usually
they
put
them
in
areas
that
are
blighted
and
then
it
helps
bring
property
values
up.
X
This
has
the
effect
of
possibly,
however,
in
order
to
go
up
I'm
sorry
doing
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
was
I
worked
at
Coldwell
Banker
and
with
what
we
said
on
the
businesses
on
game
days,
when
we
just
basically
shut
down,
because
no
one
can
have
clients
come
in,
no
one
can
go
to
get
to
the
office,
it
just
doesn't
work,
so
it
really
is
quite
an
economic
inconvenience
for
the
businesses.
Thank
you.
Thank.
Y
Good
evening
my
name
is
Betty
Esther
and
I'm
here
to
speak
about
the
Adu
accessible
units.
We've
been
talking
about
here
that
information
that
in
committees
that
in
this
building
the
one
place
we
have
not
taken
that
conversation
is
out
to
the
public,
with
I
heard
that
there
was
a
proposal.
Well,
they
went
through
or
not
it
doesn't
matter,
because
what
they
said
you
were
going
to
do
a
two
bedroom.
Y
The
coach
houses
are
two
bedrooms
when
that
does
not
serve
the
people
in
the
community
where
I
live,
they
need
three
four
bedrooms
and
a
two
bedroom
is
hard
for
us
to
fit
a
family
of
four.
You
have
to
look
at
it
in
many
ways.
We
need
to
start
talking
to
the
people
in
the
community,
the
people
that
pays
the
property
tax
and
a
high
property
tax.
We
pay
to
help
yet
and
maintain
a
community
with
people
in
it.
Y
You
are
Lu,
he
will
lose
people
not
only
of
diverse
color,
but
it
will
be
young
white
people.
It
will
be
young
people
old
people
because
they
won't
be
able
to
afford
what
will
happen.
When
you
do
do
this,
we
increase
the
revenue
through
the
tax
base.
Let's
have
a
conversation
and
let's
look
at
what
we
have
in
this
community.
What
kind
of
housing
do
we
have?
How
many
houses
do
we
have?
You
have
changed
the
ordinance
for
the
people
living
in
more
than
three
related
people.
Y
Z
Good
evening,
everyone
first
I'd
like
to
say
congratulations
to
Wally
on
his
new
position
in
Issaquah,
the
best
of
luck
to
you
and
congratulations
to
Erika
for
her
new
temporary
role
as
acting
city
manager.
I
wanted
to
thank
Kimberly,
Richardson
and
Kate
Kate
Lewis
for
hosting
the
three
recent
roundtable
budget
discussions.
Although
it
was
a
little
disappointing
as
it
was
not
exactly
a
discussion
about
our
budget,
it
was
more
of
a
presentation
about
the
breakdown
of
our
budget.
Z
Many
of
us
were
hoping
to
discuss
the
status
of
our
budget,
bless
you
and
do
we
have
a
balanced
budget?
Do
we
need
to
raise
taxes
and
fees
again?
Are
we
able
to
lower
our
taxes
and
fees
and
what
can
we
possibly
do
about
cutting
expenses
and
I
thought?
That's
the
conversation
we
were
going
to
at
these
budget
meetings,
roundtable
discussions.
Z
Z
Anyhow
as
a
side
note,
after
paying
two
hundred
thousand
for
our
street
study,
bless
you,
there
are
several
cracks
on
the
street
on
the
2300
block
of
Greenwood,
a
block
away
from
MLK
school,
but
the
alley
across
the
street
was
graded
several
times.
Finally,
why
do
we
keep
on
talking
about
what
to
talk
about?
Can
we
please
have
a
discussion
come
up
with
a
plan
stick
with
a
plan
and
in
a
language
that
we
can
measure
the
success
or
failure
of
these
plans?
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Ray.

Northwestern
has
made
a
big
deal
about
asking
neighbors
for
input
about
what
they
want
to
do
overall,
the
central
street,
but
instead
of
addressing
to
the
biggest
issues
neighbors,
have
they
used
feedback
to
grant
themselves
more
leeway
and
throw
neighbors
under
the
bus.
Neighbors
voiced
an
issue
with
the
terror,
with
tear
down
noise
at
7:00
a.m.
on
Sundays
following
game
days,
and
instead
of
protecting
neighbors
from
that
nuisance,
Northwestern
instead
decided
to
grant
themselves
permission
to
make
noise
starting
at
6:30
a.m.
AA
AA
AB
After
we
hatched
in
elite
groups
like
Seaway
and
like
let
McMillon
mentioned
there
right
now
facing
the
part
of
a
group
facing
a
lawsuit
for
rigging
the
prices
to
keep
them
high
and
a
leading
exclusive.
Is
that
what
we're
about
here
now
so
really
we're
gonna
fit
in
cya,
give
them
the
hours
they
need?
First
and
we'll
figure
out
the
next
end
Northwestern
and
then
maybe
we'll
figure
out
when
the
figure
skaters
who
actually
costs
about
half
the
price
Peter
and
Judy,
then
it
does
hockey
skaters
and
that's
where
that's.
AB
What
we're
working
on
right
now,
we're
working
on
figuring
out
this
ice
situation.
That's
costing
that
most
of
the
cost
of
the
robert
crown
centers
for
these
ice
rinks
and
we're
figuring
out
how
we
can
meet
the
needs
of
all
the
elite
groups
right
now,
we're
not
figuring
out
the
figure
skaters,
and
we
know
what
a
dark
ugly
reputation
robert
crown
already
has
in
the
figure
skating
world
for
cronyism
and
by
the
way.

AC
My
name
is
Bradley
chef,
ski
and
I
live
at
1570
Oak
Avenue
in
the
4th
Ward
I
moved
in
in
December,
and
shortly
thereafter,
I
started,
noticing
very
severe
safety
issues
with
my
elevator
I
have
reported
this
to
the
city
over
four
times
through
four
one,
one
or
three
one
one
insured
that
in
there
would
be
inspected.
There's
no
real
proof
of
that.
I
have
all
the
inspection
records
that
were
given
to
me
today
by
the
city
going
back
to
may
twenty
eighteen,
my
building
has
not
passed.
AC
One
I
have
been
in
contact
with
my
management
company,
who
has
told
me
it
will
be
fixed
every
two
weeks
that
has
not
happened.
There
has
never
been
a
certificate
of
inspection
I,
one
of
many
people
who
has
called
911
for
myself,
who
has
been
trapped
in
the
elevator
or
other
people.
I
have
a
disability
that
makes
it
very
difficult
for
me
to
do
stairs,
sometimes
impossible.
I
have
been
trapped
in
my
apartment
for
days
and
weeks
recently,
causing
me
to
lose
my
job.
When
I
went
to
a
city
official
about
this.
AC
About
a
month
ago,
she
told
me
the
city
had
enough
nothing,
they
could
do
about
it,
it's
not
their
job
to
enforce
it
and
they
will
not.
She
then
told
me
that
I
should
go
to
my
neighbor's
asked
them
to
do
my
laundry
and
get
my
groceries
if
I
am
unable
to
do
so.
I
have
filed
other
requests.
Other
people
in
my
town
have
done
this
multiple
times
trying
to
get
someone
to
come
out.
It
absolutely
hasn't
happened
from
the
moment.
I
started
talking
to
her.
AC
She
started
defending
Wesley
Realty,
including
calling
him
on
the
phone
saying
he's
one
of
the
best
property
managers
in
the
city.
I
would
ask
any
of
you,
please
Google,
Wesley,
Realty
management.
Look
at
the
reviews.
Look
at
the
photos,
I
have
ones
I
can
send
you
of
severe
issues
in
my
building
fire
doors
with
holes
in
them
all
across
the
board.
I've
pretty
much
done
everything
we
can.
No
one
is
listen.
AC
AC
AC
AD
I'm,
also
encouraging
you
to
utilize
sensitivity
to
decrease
the
number
of
lawsuits
that
have
been
filed
against
the
city,
costing
us
a
lot
of
money
in
the
search
for
a
new
city
manager.
The
proposed
budget
I
did
not
review
any
considerations
for
reparations
or
extended
services
to
assist
seniors
in
housing.
I
hope
these
oversights
will
be
corrected
in
the
budget.
I'm
also
concerned
about
articles
a
nine
and
a
ten.
Please
do
not
vote
to
oppose
these.
AD
B
AE
Evening,
Darlene
cannon
second
ward,
I'm
here
to
talk
about
a
nine
and
eight
and
just
want
to
say
that
it
seems
like
you
guys,
are
figuring
out
the
needs
of
private
entities
before
figuring
out
the
needs
of
the
community.
It's
clear
that
this
facility
is
being
built,
it's
being
it's
not
being
built
for
the
community
and
that
you're
trying
to
Panter
to
pander
to
us
by
offering
us
up
the
library
you're.
First
and
foremost,
concern
should
be
considering
community
needs.
So
I
asked
you
again,
who
are
you
building
this
Center
for.
AF
You
for
letting
me
speak,
I
am
a
proud
ets.
Grad,
1987
and
I
am
grateful
to
Evanston
for
the
education
I
received
that
allowed
me
to
fulfill
my
dream
of
being
a
veterinarian
and
I
knew
I
wanted
to
come
back
to
Evanston
to
be
a
veterinarian.
In
2014,
I
took
over
a
1956
Evanston
Business
Bergland
Animal
Hospital
moved
into
Central
Street
and
we
reinvested
refrigerated,
state-of-the-art
Hospital,
and
we
will
be
very
adversely
affected,
as
the
community
has
already
noted
by
this
proposal
of
Northwestern.
AF
If
we
lose
a
client
for
the
day
of
one
of
their
best.
You
know
pro
events.
We
may
know
them
more
than
a
day.
We
may
lose
them
for
life.
We
are
a
community
hospital
that
take
care
of
the
dogs
and
cats,
including
the
Evanston
police
dogs,
and
we
need
them
to
be
able
to
get
to
us
in
a
timely
fashion,
with
less
stress,
less
traffic
and
if
they're
not
gonna,
make
it
there,
they're
gonna
go
somewhere
else.
AF
AG
I'm
Candace
Davis
I
live
in
the
2700
block
of
Eastwood
by
the
stadium
and
I'm
here
to
oppose
the
you
to
text.
Amendment
we've
lived
here
for
over
30
years
and
I'm
a
graduate
of
Northwestern
law
I've
been
a
really
good
sport
about
the
games
for
all
these
years,
because
it's
part
of
being
part
of
the
community.
But
this
proposal
to
expand
it
to
commercial
and
professional
events.
I
think
is
unacceptable,
even
if
it's
just
12
more
events
up
to
7,000
people.
AG
It's
gonna
be
further
harm
to
the
community,
and
we
really
need
you
to
take
a
close
look
at
it.
I,
don't
think
that
it
meets
the
planning.
It
was
really
the
plan.
Commission's.
Approval
of
this
was
surprising
to
me
because
I
think
in
fact
it
doesn't
meet
any
of
the
standards
for
zoning
amendments.
It's
not
consistent
with
the
Comprehensive
Plan.
It's
not
compatible
with
the
overall
character
of
existing
uses
in
evanston.
It's
it
will
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
value
of
adjacent
property.
AG
B
AH
AH
Came
here,
I
came
here
specifically
for
the
fire
department
I'm
an
advocate
of
men
in
many
ways,
I
talked
to
the
chief,
who
is
awesome
and
very
approachable
I
recommend
it
highly
to
talk
to
any
fire
officer
or
any
police
officer.
We
have
we're
a
community
blessed
with
people
who
protect
us
in
different
ways
and
actually
want
to
know
who
we
are
and
remember
so
for
that
I'm
very
grateful.
The
requests
are
asked.
AH
As
a
trial
of
a
thousand
dollar
pump
to
the
skinny
fire
truck,
we
go
a
long
way
in
terms
of
community
involvement
that
she,
the
chief,
also
told
me
chief
Scott,
also
told
me
they
said
he
wants
community
involvement
so
to
get
coming
in
involvement
and
coming
up
with
ideas
and
also
about
the
pump
work.
That's
gonna
work,
or
something
else
is
needed,
would
be
great,
so
I
propose
that
we
have
a
meeting
just
in
the
next
week
or
two
to
decide
on
a
pump
to
be
added
at
the
low
cost
of
a
thousand
dollars.
AH
B
You
thank
you
Doreen
and
thank
everybody
for
speaking
of
public
comment
today.
I
know
everybody
that
the
council
appreciates
the
different
perspectives
and
takes
those
your
words
seriously.
So
we're
now
going
to
move
into
the
agenda
this
evening.
We've
got
a
couple
items
on
special
order
of
business.
B
G
Staff
recommends
the
City
Council
continued
consideration
of
whether
to
accept
a
pill
of
preservation,
Commission's
decision
denying
certificate
of
appropriateness
for
2404
Ridge
Avenue
until
October
14
2019
meeting
of
the
City
Council.
The
appellate
have
stated
that
they
will
be
out
of
the
country
on
September,
23rd
2019.
The
City
Council
may
make
a
decision
to
accept
the
application
for
appeal.
If
a
motion
is
made
and
adopted,
the
City
Council
shall
affirm,
modify
or
reverse
the
decision
of
the
Preservation
Commission
within
45
days.
D
AH
D
AI
AI
So
the
the
applicant,
the
appellant,
is
out
of
the
out
of
the
country
and
to
give
him
the
opportunity
to
address
the
council
and
the
purpose
for
the
appeal.
My
preference
is
that
the
council
make
a
motion
to
continue
this
matter
to
the
next
council
date
simply
to
allow
the
opponent
the
opportunity
to
address
you.
D
B
K
Sb
to
recommended
action
as
staff
suggested
City
Council
approve
a
contract
with
Gov
HR
USA,
an
executive
recruiting
firm
in
the
amount
of
twenty
three
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
to
conduct
the
recruitment
process
for
the
next
city
manager.
For
the
city
of
Evanston,
the
funding
source
would
be
from
the
recruitment
budget.
Current
balance
is
twenty
thousand
twenty
nine
dollars
a
third
of
the
recruitment
fees
due
upon
the
acceptance
of
the
proposal.
B
L
You're
right
though
it
does
say,
discussion,
that's
confusing,
but
anyway,
so
I
I
would
be
voting.
No
for
this
firm
I
would
like
to
I,
saw
the
memo,
but
I
had
some
concerns
with
the
last
searched
they
did
for
us.
Maybe
the
last
two
searches,
but
the
question
I
have
I
know
that
there
was
an
information
in
there
about
firms
being
kind
all
over
the
US,
and
this
one
I
understand
it's
closer.
Did
we
were
we
able
to
seek
out
or
in
the
21st
we
went
forward?
Were
there
any
that
were
minority
or
women?
L
AJ
C
AJ
Because
it
was
such
a
short
notice,
I
sent
literally
I
remember
two
weeks
ago,
we
were
here
and
went
back
to
my
office
and
out
20
emails
immediately
bad
night
to
get
as
much
information
back
as
possible.
So
in
such
a
short
time
we
were
able
to
at
least
get
seven
quotes
back,
so
we
could
certainly
wait
to
receive
additional
ones
they're
still
coming
in
another
one
just
came
in
this
morning:
okay,
but
we
got
we.
G
K
Maybe
they
were
city
manager,
candidates
that
they
presented
to
us
that
we
we've
hired
these
two
firms
before
and
I.
Remember
they
were
very
much
and
I'm
sure
they've
changed
by
now,
but
they
were
very
much
the
term
that
I
could
think
of
as
very
status
quo.
Not
very
current
I
will
tell
you
that
this
firm
we've
used
several
times
and
they
have
always
provided
us
with
a
real,
diverse
group
of
candidates,
just
because
they
happen
not
to
have
a
diverse
group
on
their
staff.
K
They
go
out
and
they
will
search
for
the
kinds
of
candidates.
We're
looking
for
and
I
am
hoping
that
we
will
get
to
meet
them
with
them
before
they
go
out.
Searching
yes,
because
I
don't
want
them
reaching
in
the
file
cabinet
and
pulling
out
the
Oldham
oldies,
because
they
know
we
don't
want
that.
They
know
that
we
like
wall-e.
So
when
are
we
gonna
meet
them
at.
K
AJ
You
look
at
their
proposal.
One
of
the
first
meetings
is
for
them
to
come
out
to
the
city
to
talk
with
the
stakeholder,
so
that
initial
meeting
will
be
with
you
and
city
staff
to
determine
what
kinds
of
qualifications
that
they
would
like
to
see
in
the
next
city
manager.
Then
after
that
would
be
a
community
meeting
to
discuss
what
the
community
would
like
to
see.
I.
K
K
M
Of
in
Randy
members
of
the
council,
this
is
look
to
nationally
is
a
very
progressive
community.
People
who
are
progressive
in
this
profession
want
to
come
here,
and
so
you
will
have
I
I,
don't
think
pool
is
a
concern.
I
think
you
want
to
make
sure
whoever
you
hire
as
an
executive
search
firm
understands
what
you're
looking
for
the
community
component
I
think
the
council
said
is
very
important.
You
know
making
sure
that
that
an
appropriate
way
having
recently
been
in
the
job
market,
myself
I,
can
tell
you
that
you
know
every
community.
M
H
Thank
you.
Mr.
mayor
I
will
speak
like
alderman
Rainey
from
some
experience
here
and
I.
I
will
say
that
we
use
slave
and
management
when
we
hired
Julia,
Carroll
and
I.
Don't
believe
that
that
was
a
woman
or
minority-owned
firm
I
will
say
that
I
definitely
liked
the
dealings
that
I've
experienced
with
Gov
HR
I
was
dismayed
to
see
how
many
of
these
firms
are
from
the
West
Coast.
H
Initially
I
was
concerned
because
the
Midwest
is
different
and
so
I
really
do
appreciate
that
they
are
from
the
Midwest
and
we
have
had
great
success
with
them
before
and
we
are.
We
aren't
a
run-of-the-mill
community
and
we
really
won't
need
a
recruiting
firm
that
very
much
understands
us
and
they
have
been
very
successful
in
understanding
us
before
and
a
critical
element
of
all
of
this
is
that
they
come
in
and
hear
from
us.
H
They
hear
from
stakeholders
and
then
they,
let
us
know
what
they
hear
and
to
make
sure
that
their
message
of
who
they're
looking
for
is
is
clear
and
in
accordance
with
what
we
want,
and
so
as
I
think.
As
a
result
of
that,
we
have
had
great
success
with
gov,
HR
and
I
very
much
support
them
in
this
endeavor
and
think
that
we
should
begin
this
process.
H
C
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
so
just
off
the
top
of
my
head,
I
mean
generally
I
would
feel
more
comfortable
if
we
selected
three
firms
and
invited
them
in
to
talk
with
the
council.
So
we
could
get
an
idea
if
they
know
what
we're
looking
for,
but
I'm,
happy
to
hear
what
everybody
else
says
about
that
I
I
I'm
not
so
concerned
that
we
find
someone
from
the
Midwest
as
we
find
someone
who
is
a
match
for
our
community,
because
I
think
there
are
other
university
communities
and
high
tech.
C
You
know
tech,
communities
and
and
hipster
communities
that
might
be
not
in
the
Midwest,
but
that
still
be
a
better
match
for
us.
I
don't
have
anything
against
gov,
HR
and
I
guess
mr.
city
manager,
I
would
just
ask
you
because
you've
been
in
this
for
a
while.
But
our
did
these
firms
have
pools
of
people
and
do
are
those
pools
different.
M
Just
members
of
the
council,
they
are
I
mean
as
Miss
Lynn
mentioned.
There
is
a
very
heavy
lean
toward
the
west
coast.
You
know
most
there's
just
a
lot
of
communities
of
size
on
the
west
coast,
so
many
of
the
firms
out
there
are
the
west
coast
firms
in
looking
at
the
list.
Those
are
largely
the
ones
you
haven't
heard
from,
because
this
is
not
a
market
that
they
do.
Gov
HR
really
has
focused
on
the
center
of
the
country.
C
M
We,
the
California
firms,
basically
recruit
in
California,
for
positions
in
California
having
again
recently
been
in
this
marketplace.
City
Council's
in
California
are
interested
in
candidates
from
California,
and
so
there
are
just
so
many
communities
at
any
given
time.
A
number
of
these
firms
have
a
niche,
so
the
balance
which
are
the
ones
here,
Slavin
Mercer
Julia,
no
backs
firm.
Oh
there's
a
little
firm
in
Issaquah
Washington.
Even
you
know
they.
They
have
a
little
bit
broader
reach
and
I.
Think
that's
not
surprising.
M
It's
at
local
governments,
a
small
business
nationwide
people
were
aware
that
Evanston
was
going
to
open
up
and
those
firms
that
would
normally
look
for
communities
like
Evanston
to
assist.
Listen
to
all
the
plight.
There's
there's
not
when
I
look
at
this
list.
I
do
not
see
a
firm
that
says
gosh
if
they
were
only
here.
That
would
really
be
good.
You
know
if
the
council
wanted
to
bring
in
three
firms
to
talk.
I
mean
that's.
M
That
is
not
an
unusual
thing
to
do
and
they
will
come
and
make
presentations
about
their
approach,
but
they
largely
have
a
book
of
business
and
they
will
show
you
I.
Think
Jennifer
did
a
good
job
of
pointing
it
out.
They
will
show
you
where
they're
looking
at
candidates,
you
know
Evanston
is
one
of
probably
two
dozen
communities
under
a
hundred
thousand
in
America.
That
would
have
a
national
recruitment,
so
there
just
aren't
that
many
quite
honestly.
So
each
of
these
here
you
know,
do
that
again.
M
Slavin,
as
you
know,
have
been
around
a
long
time.
They
do.
They
thinks
here.
Julia
Novak's
firm
has
done
some
consulting
work
for
us
over
the
last
ten
years
of
Ag
of
HR.
You
know
Head
&
Shoulders.
They
do
a
lot
of
work
in
Texas
they
D
working
and
in
Florida.
They
do
work
now
in
Pennsylvania,
other
large
council-manager
states,
Michigan
Michigan,
the
state
of
Michigan's
Municipal
League,
does
recruiting
so
most
of
the
Michigan
recruitments
are
done
through
their
state,
Municipal
League
I
believe
Ohio.
The
Municipal
League
is
also
involved.
So
there's
some
competition
there.
M
So
that's
also
another
factor.
When
the
Municipal
League
offers
a
service,
then
those
states
are
largely
off
the
table
and
you
look
at
larger
Midwest
communities
there.
This
the
council-manager
ones,
are
the
other
big
ten
communities
and
Arbor
East
Lansing
Champaign
Iowa
City.
The
other
communities
in
those
states
are
largely
strong
mayor.
So
there
is
not
a
council-manager
than
I'd,
be
a
city
administrator
things
like
that.
So
I
think
the
question
really
for
the
council
is,
if
you
don't
want
to
go
forward
with
one,
and
you
want
to
interview
three.
M
B
H
D
You
so
it
sounds
like
there's
still
a
possibility
of
a
few
more
trickling.
In
a
few
days,
we've
got
a
Rules
Committee
next
two
weeks,
so
maybe
what
we
can
do
is
we
can
hold
this
over
till
the
seven
that
rules
pick.
You
know,
wait
for
the
rest
to
come
in
pick
the
three
at
that
time
and
maybe
just
have
the
three
that
we
you
know
are
choosing
from
makes
some
sort
of
you
know
short
presentation.
I
realize
I'm,
mindful
of
the
fact
that
you
know
we're
talking
about
a
contract,
probably
under
25,000
dollars.
D
AK
AJ
Only
because
the
two
people
you're
referring
to
don't
do
the
executive
searches,
that's
not
their
role
in
the
organization,
so
there
are
just
a
few
people
that
handle
the
HR
searches
in
the
executive
searches.
It's
just
a
handful
of
folks
that
do
that
and
I
can
definitely
talk
to
them
to
see
if
they've
already
assigned
a
person.
D
B
I
I'm
start
with

with
them
on

members

I'd
like

resolution,
86
desk

adopting

staff
recommend

improve

litigation
procedures
and
billing
guidelines
fraction.
Is
there
a
second.
AI
The
document
I'm
sorry,
okay,
Michelle
Mason,
cut
City,
surety,
they're,
limited
circumstances
in
which
we
engage
outside
counsel.
Typically,
how
it's
been
done
in
the
past
is
that
we
handle
the
matter
in-house
unless
we
have
a
conflict
or
it's
a
special
type
of
case,
and
we
notify
the
city
manager
if
we
seeked
out
hire
outside
counsel.
For
any
other
reason
other
than
that
and
to
the
guidelines
basically
followed
that
protocol.
We
would
notify
the
council
that
we
think
that
it's
needed
and
we
follow
the
guidelines.
AI
AI
AK
My
concern
is
how
far
down
the
road
we
get
before
there
was
any
elected
official
involvement,
understood
and
so
I
don't
know
from
a
like
practical
standpoint.
What
how
do
we
make
the
maximum
amount
of
electro
fishel
input,
while
still
enabling
you
to
do
your
job
and
I?
Don't
know
if
that's
something
that
can
be
worked
out
before
January
1st,
when
this
goes
into
effect?
If
we
could
hold
this
and
come
back
or
if
it's
just
an
impossibility.
AI
AK
AA
B
F
I
W
L
So
I'm
looking
to
support
this
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions.
I
thought
I'd
want
to
ask
for
clarity.
One
thing
that
I
will
address
at
the
public.
Mention
was
about
this
gate
time.
So,
just
looking
at
the
sake
of
accurate
information
looking
at
Northbrook,
they
charge
325
an
hour
and
I
think
this
is
one
that
cut.
Can
you
read
my
home
I
think
it's
Winnetka
they
charge
for
35
I
mean
excuse
me
35
for
an
hour
and
a
half,
so
just
for
the
record,
our
prices
I
think
are
more
than
that.
L
If
I'm,
remembering
correctly
yeah
one
was
four
or
something
but
anyway
mr.
Lee
and
no
mr.
Henry
isn't
here.
But
if
you
can
kind
of
kind
of
this
schedule,
can
you
talk
about
the
schedule
a
bit?
I
know
we
have
the
schedule
for
these
two
entities.
I
am
happy
to
see
that
there's
some
after-school
time
and
some
what
would
typically
be
during
school
time
for
our
younger
residents
and
wanna
skate.
AL
Good
evening,
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
city
manager
and
deputy
city
clerk
Eric,
Astoria
system,
city
manager,
I
know
Lawrence,
isn't
here
tonight
he's
at
a
conference.
But
if
they
were
here,
I
know
he
would
speak
to
how
great
the
great
lengths
of
his
team
has
gone
through
to
work
with
all
the
ice
rink
users
to
try
to
come
to
a
compromise
that
everybody
can
be
happy
about.
AL
So
you
know,
I,
remember
speaking
with
the
after-school
and
preschool
users
of
the
crown
and
I'm
saying
to
me
that
their
favorite
one
of
their
favorite
parts
about
their
kids
being
at
the
after-school
program
and
the
preschool
program
was
that
they
had
access
to
the
ice,
and
so
we've
maintained
that
ice
skating,
access
for
the
after-school
program
and
for
the
kids
during
the
day
at
the
preschool,
as
well
as
all
of
the
other
users.
I
mean
the
great
thing
about
the
new
facility
is
that
there
will
be
these
two
large
sheets
of
ice.
AL
AL
Sorry,
three
different
uses
going
on
at
the
same
time,
so
Lawrence
hasn't
completely
solidified
the
entirety
of
the
schedule,
but
he's
carved
out
blocks
for
future
uses
of
both
city
programming
and
then
public
skate
and
then
practice
times
for
ice
skaters
and
on
all
of
that.
So
I
would
say
he's
probably
75
percent
done
with
the
entirety
of
the
schedule.
AL
But
I
don't
think
that
he
has
finalized
what
exactly
his
programs
will
be
come
spring,
and
this
schedule
that
is
in
the
packet
for
this
evening
is
just
covering
the
hockey
season,
which
is
when
there's
the
most
competition
for
the
ice
time.
So
we
don't
anticipate.
There
will
be
any
issue
providing
multitude
of
ice
times
for
the
non
hockey
season,
but
we
are
trying
to
work
with
all
the
users
to
come
up
with
a
good
compromise,
because
we
are
trying
to
maximize
the
revenues
during
that
prime
revenue
generating
season.
Okay,.
L
So
I
look
forward
to
seeing
the
weekend
schedule.
I
I
know:
I
did
a
little
notation
here
and
I
know.
L
Sunday
has
a
little
more
time
than
Saturday,
thus
far,
so
I
really
looking
forward
to
seeing
that
looks
like
every
day
during
the
week
there
is
skating
open
to
the
public
till
at
least
6,
which
would
be
the
time
after
school
students
get
there
from
South
Evans
and
so
I
appreciate
that
other
question
can
you
clarify,
looks
like
cya
is
making
their
payment
over
seven
years,
but
we
are,
they
have
naming
rights
or
their
local
on
the
ice
for
ten
years.
So
why
don't
we
mesh
those
two
up?
So
the.
AL
Way
that
the
naming
rights
are
working
is
that
you
know
usually
the
entity,
that's
purchasing
the
naming
rights
is
dictating
what
sort
of
schedule
they
can
accommodate.
So,
for
instance,
the
valley
produce
Lobby
they're,
paying
their
payment
I
believe
it's
over
15
years,
so
the
trying
to
figure
out
the
best
way
to
say
this.
There
isn't
a
one-to-one
ratio
of
the
amount
of
time
that
an
entity
gets
for
a
naming
right
for
the
amount
of
time
that
they're
paying
for
it.
AL
It's
just
here's
the
identified
price
for
what
that
naming
right
is
and
then
here's
the
schedule
that
makes
sense
for
that
user
to
pay.
So
you
know
that
instant
hockey
I
think
has
a
smaller
donation
for
the
exact
same
thing,
but
they're
getting
the
the
10
years
as
well.
So
it's
just
not
the
philosophy
of
you
pay
for
it
on
an
annual
basis.
It's
we
prefer
to
get
as
much
of
the
money
upfront
as
possible
and
given
the
naming
right
over
the
period
of
time
that's
been
identified.
Thank.
AL
D
Thank
you
and
yeah
I
think
I
got
it
was
noted
generally,
but
the
the
evanston
oriented
program
is
paying
less
for
the
per
hour
than
the
nine
evanston
oriented
one.
So
I
think
that
you
know
it's
reflecting
the
effort
to
make
sure
that
it's
more
affordable
forward
for
the
Evanston
programs.
I
spent
more
time
than
I
care
to
remember,
as
a
parent
of
a
figure
skater
and
as
a
hockey
player.
So
I
don't
know
that
there's
anybody
more
qualified
than
I
am
to
know
about.
D
F
D
There's
there's
not
as
much
overlap
on
the
hockey
time
slots
so
I'm
not
as
concerned
about
that,
but
you
know.
Certainly
it
appears
that
there
will
be
significant
time
for
the
general
community
to
use
it.
But
of
course
the
general
business
model
here
is
to
have
more
ice
time
available
and
to
rent
more
ice
time
out
and
generate
more
revenue
to
help
pay
for
this
rather
expensive
endeavor.
So
we
need
to
make
money
to
pay
for
it
and
that's
part
of
the
part
of
the
business
model.
Thank
you
all.
The
Mahnomen.
K
K
K
Tell
us
a
little
bit
about
the
vilification
of
the
group
that
was
here
tonight.
Some
very
ugly
things
said
about
their
reputation,
I
mean:
is
there
a
problem
with
them
and
do
they
have
lots
of
Evanston
residents
on
there
in
their
group?
There.
AL
Were
some
high
school
student
athletes
who
came
to
APW
to
talk
about
their
experiences
and
they
were
very
positive?
There's
cya
is
an
organization
that
brings
a
lot
of
girls
into
their
programs,
which
is
a
good
thing,
and
my
experience
with
them
has
been
overall,
very
positive.
I
think
that
they're
very
dedicated
to
what
they
do
and
I
think
that
they
try
to
do
it
at
a
at
a
very
high
level,
but.
K
I
You
Thank
You
alderman
on
breathing
I.
Thank
you,
sir
I
was
actually
gonna.
Wait
until
called
the
wards
to
to
raise
this
issue.
So,
but
since
we're
on
the
topic,
I
wanted
to
share
something.
There
was
a
speaker
earlier
that
made
a
comment
about
black
and
brown.
Kids
I'm,
not
sure
exactly
what
he
said,
but
I'm
gonna
paraphrase
it.
What
I
walked
away
with
it
that
as
an
elitist
sports
that
somehow
black
and
brown
kids
don't
have
access
to
it
like
any
other
kid
and
as
a
parent
whose
kids
competed
at
a
higher
level?
I
Not
only
is
it
a
commitment
of
resources,
but
it's
also
a
real
commitment
of
time
and
I
just
want
to
correct
something
that
dr.
Dante,
who
is
sat
next
to
was
the
gentleman's
name
tell
lore'l
black
man.
Thank
you
tell
more
sob.
They
spend
approximately
$50,000
of
scholarships
that
they
provide
annually.
So
I
don't
know
who
you
are
in
touch
with
what
you
know
the
second
Ward
borders
Robert
crowns.
I
L
L
AL
AL
R
AL
I
So
that
was
a
promoted
question,
so
these
companies
or
the
organizations
that
are
donating
for
naming
rights,
are
they
pre
paying
for
ice
time
or
are
they
just
paying
for
the
naming
rights?
So
you're
probably
gonna
answer
my
question,
which
is:
are
they
pre
paying
for
the
naming
rights
in
addition
to
that
they'll
also
be
paying
for
their
each
time?
Yes,.
AL

Mr.
mayor
members,
city
council,
I
like
to
move
item
a
ten
resolution,
32
RS,
19
authorize
city
master
to
execute
a
gopher
brief.
Excuse
me:
what
time
is
it
9:15
month,
then
a
gift
agreement
and
youths
agreement
with
the
Evanston
Youth
Hockey
Association
for
the
donation
of
a
new
robber
crown
community
center.
All
right.
B
A
B
I
B
B
C
C
B
Opposed
okay,
so
the
rules
have
been
suspended.
This
items
for
introduction
in
action
it
was
introduced
and
seconded
and
just
do
a
voice
vote
on
this
yep
yeah
or
no.
Yes,
again,
all
right.
All
in
favor
aye
opposed
8:14
passes,
and
that
was
for
introduction
in
action
on
the
nine
to
zero
vote.
Could
you
take
us
to
a
17
yep?
The
requests.
I
AK
Say
I
think
we
should
be
really
careful
about
doing
this
along
with
our
downtown
parking
problems.
This
is
just
another
reason
for
people
that
use
spend
their
money
elsewhere
and
so
I
know
that
we
have
to
get
it
done
by
October
1st
if
it's
gonna
happen,
but
I
just
would
really
caution.
My
colleagues
about
undertaking
this
sales
taxes
are
the
most
regressive
tax.
L
I'm
interested
I
have
a
concern
about
putting
this
in
the
general
fund.
I
know
what
the
general
fund
is
used
for,
but
I
feel
like
during
this
time
where
we've
had
a
couple
of
rough
budget
years
and
we're
hoping
to
not
have
as
bad
one
this
year.
I
would
be
more
comfortable
designating
some
of
this
increase
to
affordable
housing
or
something
that
we
can.
Our
residents
I'm
really
passionate
about.
Where
we
at
this
point,
you
know,
don't
have
a
steady
stream
of
money
coming
in
to
meet
the
need.
I
haven't
worked
out.
L
The
math
I
know
that
we
need
to
put
some
of
those
in
the
general
fund,
but
I
I'm,
just
not
comfortable
kind
of
having
a
this
blanket
check
to
the
general
fund.
I
think
our
residents
will
be
much
more
inclined
to
understand
and
support
this.
If
they
know
it's
going
towards
something
that
we've
made
a
goal
that
they
consistently
talk
to
us
about,
that
we've
said
is
important
and
that
we
to
work
on
so
I.
L
Don't
have
the
numbers
in
front
of
me,
but
I
think
I'd
like
to
have
a
longer
conversation
about
how
to
do
that
versus
just
saying
general
fund
and
I
think
the
packet
did
lay
out
a
couple
of
I'm
having
in
front
of
me
a
couple
of
other
kind
of
vague
line
items,
but
nothing
specific
that
I
could
show
my
residents.
You
know
where
their
money's
going.
D
I
generally
agree
with
almond
suffering
his
comments
about
these
are
these
are
regressive
taxes
but
at
the
same
time,
I'm
totally
mindful
of
the
fact
that
when
it
comes
to
come,
some
do
the
budget,
we
will
never
pass
a
property
tax
or
other
tax
increase.
In
fact
of
the
matter
is
every
year
everything
costs
more.
So
if
we
stayed
the
same
same
services
every
year,
let's
say
the
inflation
rates
2%
$300
budget.
D
We
need
six
million
dollars
every
year,
so
six
million
dollars
a
year
find
or
cut
is
significant
and
that's
why
we
struggle
every
year.
So
we're
not
bad
people,
we're
not
trying
to
hurt
people
we're
just
trying
to
do
the
responsible
thing
so
because
there
was
a
deadline.
We've
got
this
cutoff
date
to
implement
this
I
would
reluctantly
support
it.
D
C
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
well
as
I,
voted
before
when
it
had
an
introduction.
I
voted
against
this.
This
is
just
another
reason
for
people
not
to
shop
in
Evanston
and
that
what
who
this
hurts.
As
the
representative
for
the
chamber
said
at
the
last
meeting,
I
mean
this
hurts
small
businesses.
I
mean
the
very
businesses
we're
trying
to
get
to
stay
and
to
think
that
the
shoppers
don't
recognize
when
they're
paying
more
sales
tax
is
ridiculous
because
they
do
notice
that
they
noticed
parking,
they
notice
sales
tax
and
they
look
at
their
options
and
I.
H
Well,
I
tend
to
agree
with
everybody.
This
is
a
very
regressive
tax,
but
a
short
of
a
property
tax
increase.
Then
what
are
some
of
our
other
alternatives?
We
increased
parking
left
and
right
last
year
and
we
are
endlessly
hearing
how
on
how
difficult
that
has
made
things
for
so
many
people
I
and
when
I
look
at
the
list
of
our
surrounding
communities,
with
the
exception
of
Wilmette,
which
is
still
at
ten,
almost
every
other
in
other
direction.
It's
Chicago,
Skokie,
Niles,
Morton,
Grove
Lincoln,
would
there
at
10.25.
F
H
H
K
K
Stone
e'en
from
the
increase,
so
I
mean
that's
a
bad
argument,
but
you
gotta
consider
costs
the
city
over
three
hundred
and
thirty
three
million
dollars
a
year
to
run
the
city
and
last
year's
tax
levy
was
forty,
nine
million
seven
hundred
twelve
thousand
six
hundred
and
twenty
five
dollars
so
subtract
that
from
three
hundred
and
thirty
three
million
we've
got
to
raise
the
balance.
Somehow
I
don't
know,
I
don't
want
to
do
that.
We've
got
to
raise
revenue
someplace.
K
We
can't
keep
identifying
ways
to
spend
money
without
identifying
ways
to
raise
revenue
or
buying
places
to
save
money
and
I
hate
the
idea
of
doing
this
I.
You
know
some
of
the
restaurant
tours
in
this
town
are
my
favorite
people.
We
add
one
penny
to
their
liquor.
Tax
and
they're
gonna
go
crazy.
I
mean
you
look
at
what
those
people
are
contributing
to
our
revenue
stream.
It's
huge!
It's
really
huge!
I
mean
we've
got
to
find
a
way
to
get
to
some
of
these
other
folks
that
are
are
really
skating
through
life.
K
K
We
just
have
to
think
of
some
creative
ways.
I,
don't
think
we
can
increase
parking
meters,
I,
don't
know
what
we're
gonna
do.
I
gasoline
I,
don't
know,
but
I
just
I
think
we
have
to
encourage
more
restaurants
to
come
here.
We've
just
got
to
increase
businesses,
and
we've
got
to
start
being
stronger
when
people
oppose
our
developments.
People
who
want
to
build
here
we've
got
to
support
them.
We've
got
to
figure
out
ways
to
help
them
do
projects
that
are
good
projects
for
this
city,
I
mean
I.
K
C
C
C
The
sales
tax
and
I
I
just
think
we've
got
to
start
thinking
in
broader,
more
holistic
terms,
when
we're
looking
at
projects
like
that,
so
The
Woman's
Club
had
objected
the
WCTU
of
Jeffries
out
there,
our
other
folks
lined
up
to
develop
that
blot
and
I
hear
from
them
all
the
time,
not
another
office
development,
but
certainly
residential
development,
which
is
not
going
to
provide
us
that
same
kind
of
income
that
the
office
workers
would
be
providing.
We
just
have
to
be
smarter
than
that
and
I.
C
C
That
was
basically
the
vision
of
what
had
been
presented,
except
that
they
made
the
comment
of
you
know
what
height
doesn't
really
bother
us
and
I
was
astounded
at
that.
So
we
had
an
opportunity
there
to
really
make
a
difference
and
really
increase
revenue,
and
the
council
voted
it
down.
So
folks,
you
just
have
to
figure
this
out
I'm
doing
the
best
I
can
to
increase
revenue,
and
I
will
continue
to
talk
about
this,
but
you've
got
to
start
thinking
a
little
bit
more
a
little
bit
more
realistically
about
where
we
are
financially.
K
And
I
hope
I
hope
we
all
realize
what's
coming
before
us
with
the
library
when
I
read
the
8
plus
percent,
that
they're
going
to
present
to
us
I'm
thinking
that
what
our
fleeing
city
manager
told
us
is
that
their
budget
is
a
hands
off
budget.
We
have
no
control
over.
That
is
that
a
true
story?
Would
you
remind
us
of
our
role
in
their
budget?
Yes,.
M
M
M
From
time
to
time,
you
read
an
article
about
something:
that's
happened
in
a
community
where
either
the
community
tax
levy
wasn't
either
approved
properly
or
not
in
a
timely
manner,
and
then
all
of
a
sudden,
the
county
says
they're
not
assessing
so
yes,
the
library
it's
enough
or
down,
then
then
they're
at
least,
certainly
in
other
communities.
We've
had
that
once
or
twice
here.
Where
there's
then
discussions
between
the
library
board
and
City
Council
and
staff
from
both
entities.
B
J
B
G
Development
committee
recommend
City
Council
adoption
resolution
89
our

authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute

at

This
is
for

L
I'm
gonna
vote.
No,
as
I
did
last
year,
just
want
to
explain
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
not
lark
or
equity,
or
anything
like
that.
I
just
don't
think
we
should
be
paying
people
to
hire
diverse
candidates,
I
think
if
you
want
to
hire
diverse
candidate
and
you
should
living
in
this
community,
you
should
do
that.
L
B
A

You
there
have
been
a
couple
folks
reach
out
with
concerns
on
us
not
having
our
MWBE
meeting
and
ask
for
explanation.
We
did
not
have
quorum.
That
meeting
was
on
the
same
date
as
the

up
I'm
working
to
get
a
