B
A
All
right,
thank
thank
you,
as
everyone
can
tell
Eduardo
Gomez
our
deputy
city
clerk
is
sitting
in
for
clerk.
Read
this
evening
and
I
understand
all
the
moonroof
Simmons
is
on
her
way
so
she'll
be
here
tonight
and
alderman
Braithwaite
is
under
the
weather,
so
he
may
I.
Don't
think
he's
going
to
be
here
so
welcome
everybody
to
the
Monday
February
24th,
20/20,
Evanston,
City,
Council,
meeting
I.
A
Hope
everybody
enjoyed
the
nice
weather
that
we
had
this
weekend
a
little
respite
from
winter
before
we
get
hit
with
a
big
snowstorm
starting
tomorrow,
so
I
think
our
acting
city
manager
will
just
give
folks
an
update
on
that.
As
we
get
prepared
tonight,
I
don't
have
any
public
announcements
or
proclamations,
so
acting
city
manager,
story,
Thank.
C
D
Thank
you
very
much,
honorable
mayor
members
of
the
City
Council
city
clerk
and
in
terms
city
manager.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
I'm
here
tonight
to
discuss
the
Clark
Street
bird
sanctuary
have
a
habitat
maintenance
that
we
have
planned.
Specifically.
What
we're
looking
to
do
is
work
on
the
south
side
of
the
bird
sanctuary.
The
north
side
is
very
well
maintained
and
I'd
like
to
give
a
big
thanks
to
all
the
volunteers
for
Evans
two
that
come
out
to
Evanston
and
help
with
this.
D
They
do
a
wonderful
job
with
the
work
area
that
we're
looking
at
is
more
of
the
South
Side
right
next
to
the
restroom.
There
there's
been
an
area
there
that
has
had
an
invasion
of
ash
trees,
saplings
and
seedlings
that
have
come
in,
and
the
big
issue
here
is
that
the
this
site
was
planted
originally
back
in
2015,
with
very
high
quality
native
trees
that
we
want
in
the
area.
Unfortunately,
what's
happened
is
that
there's
been
a
bunch
of
saplings.
D
Some
have
come
in
that
are
all
ash
trees
and
with
ephemeral,
poor
being
so
prevalent
in
the
Evanston
area.
We're
wanting
to
take
out
these
saplings
prior
to
the
trees
getting
much
larger
just
because
of
the
cost
and
convenience
and
safety
to
the
public.
If
these
trees
are
allowed
to
grow
to
maturity,
then
we're
going
to
have
an
issue
of
safety
when
they
die
from
emerald
ash
borer.
So
it
just
saves
us
a
lot
of
money
and
it
also
buys
us
a
lot
of
time.
D
D
So
the
original
landscape
plan
for
the
area
did
not
call
for
any
type
of
ash
tree
in
the
area.
It
was
very
well
planted,
like
I,
said,
with
aspen,
red
Osier,
dogwood
and
hot
thorns
and
some
other
trees
and
the
yellow
area
here
shows
where
the
main
infestation
of
the
ash
trees
are.
So
this
is
the
main
area,
and
what
we're
wanting
to
do
is
cut
down
these
saplings
and
come
in
and
then
treat
the
stumps
with
with
an
approved
chemical.
D
So
that
they
prevents
it
from
reefs
prowling,
because
we
just
don't
want
these
to
continue
up,
and
then
we
want
to
take
some
of
the
brush
from
this
and
actually
make
some
bird
a
brush
pile
a
small
brush
pile
to
complement
the
other
brush
pile,
that's
already
in
the
area
and
another
one
I
believe
it's
on
the
north
side.
So
the
big
issue
for
that,
as
we
want
to
provide
a
good
habitat
for
the
birds
and
continue
with
with
this
restaurant
restoration,
but
the
maintenance
of
this
site.
D
E
Well,
all
right
so
I'm
I'm
a
tree
hugger
as
I.
Think
all
of
us
are
up
here
and
and
I
am
concerned
about
the
ash.
Trees
actually
are
every
species
of
ash
affected
by
the
emerald
ash.
Borer.
Yes,.
E
D
They
are
doing
exactly
what
they
would
be
doing
at
normal
succession.
It's
exactly
what
would
be
happening.
The
issue
lies
in
that
the
ash
borer
doesn't
attack
the
trees
until
they
get
larger
in
size.
So
then,
what
we
have
is
these
ash
trees
that
are
going
to
be
growing,
getting
larger
in
size
that
are
going
to
choke
out
the
more
desirable
trees
that
we've
already
planted
in
the
past
and
then,
when
the
ash
trees
do
die
from
the
from
the
borer,
then
we're
going
to
have
to
come
in
and
remove
them.
D
At
that
point,
the
proximity
to
the
walkway
right
there
is
an
issue
and
ash
trees
have
a
become
very
brittle
as
that
when
they
die,
so
they
lose
moisture
really
quick,
so
they
lose
branches
really
really
quickly.
So
it's
better
in
my
opinion
and
in
our
opinion,
to
get
these
down
while
they're
small,
so
that
we
can
actually
buy
some
time
to
get
some
better
tree
species
in
there.
D
D
D
E
Something
that
just
rubs
me
the
wrong
way
about
managing
a
natural
living
plant
and
in
this
way
and
making
and
making
those
decisions.
That's
just
me
I
understand
exactly
what
you're
saying
and
that
you're
being
practical
and
and
I
appreciate
that,
but
I
am
very
concerned
about
this
particular
tree
and
what
we
might
be
able
to
do
if
there's
anything
that
we
can
do
now
to
encourage
its
presence
in
our
in
our
city,
landscape,
ash.
D
Trees
have
a
challenge
in
that
one
of
the
big
challenges
with
ephemeral
to
ash
borer
is
that
emerald
ash
borer
feeds
on
all
ash
trees,
regardless
of
what
they're
treated
or
not.
So
if
the
trees
are
treated
with
a
chemical,
then
the
ash
borer
still
has
to
consume
part
of
the
tree
to
get
the
poison
and
the
poison
the
the
insecticide
that's
used
for
these
from
an
environmental
standpoint.
D
I
personally,
don't
recommend
doing
many
injections,
especially
around
town
for
city
trees,
just
because
the
environmental
impact
to
pollinator
species
and
to
local
and
native
wildlife,
so
ash
trees
to
me,
I,
look
at
it
from,
like
you
say,
a
practical
standpoint:
cost-benefit
ratio,
type
thing
and
I
just
don't
find
them
unless
we
have
a
really
nice
specimen
or
something
that's
really
important
memorial.
Something
like
that.
You
know
that's
a
little
bit
different,
but
ash
trees
out
in
this
location.
D
You
know
if
it
was
an
area
where
the
public
wasn't
around
a
whole
lot
to
where
we
could.
Let
them
just
live
their
life
and
go
through
the
natural
cycle
of
things.
I
think
that
would
be
okay,
maybe
more.
On
the
north
side,
where
we
do
have
some
ash
trees
on
the
north
side
of
the
bird
sanctuary,
where
we're
not
doing
any
work
with
that,
that's
the
right
place
for
that.
C
Thank
you
appreciate.
It.
I
also
wanted
to
announce
that,
as
you
are
mostly
aware,
there's
a
big
snowstorm
coming
over
the
course
of
the
next
few
days
and
if
we
could
get
voluntary
compliance
on
the
primary
routes
for
Wednesday
evening.
That
would
be
appreciated
because
we're
going
to
be
trying
to
be
clearing
a
lot
of
snow
in
a
short
amount
of
time,
and
that
will
help
us
from
potentially
having
to
not
call
a
snow
route
parking
ban.
C
B
One
announcement
so
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know
we
have
an
election
coming
up
on
March,
17th
and
I.
Just
want
to
remind
everyone
that,
starting
next
week
on
March
2nd
is
gonna,
be
early
voting.
That's
gonna,
take
place
here
at
the
Civic
Center
on
the
ground
floor
and
room
to
you
300,
so
that's
gonna
run
through
March
16th,
so
March
2nd
through
the
16th
and
you'll,
also
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
the
grace
period
registration
where
you
can
come
in
register
to
vote
and
cast
your
ballot.
B
At
the
same
time,
if
you
have
in
register
to
vote,
you
need
two
pieces
of
identification,
doesn't
have
to
be
a
government-issued
ID.
It
could
be
a
bank
statement,
a
school
ID,
something
one
of
them
at
least
has
to
show
your
current
address.
So
you'll
also
be
able
to
do
that
as
well,
and
that's
all
of
the
amounts
one
side
of.
F
A
Thank
you,
Thank
You,
deputy
city
clerk,
we're
now
going
to
move
to
public
comment
for
those
of
you
that
are
new
to
City
Council.
We
set
aside
45
minutes
for
public
comment.
Today
we
have
30
speakers
that
have
signed
up
for
public
comment,
so
we
take
the
number
of
speakers
divided
by
the
time.
So
that
means
everybody's
going
to
have
a
minute
in
30
seconds
to
speak.
If
you
haven't
spoken
yet
this
year
we
have
a
new
system,
that's
really
I
think
been
pretty
helpful
up
there.
Well,
you
will
see
some
lights.
A
Okay
and
those
lights
are
indicators
of
how
much
time
you
have.
So
when
it's
red,
we
can
see
that
it's
red
up
here
we're
calling
the
next
person
but
I,
think
it
actually
helps
people
and
I
think
it's
been
pretty
effective
so
far
this
year,
so
we
are
again
setting
a
minute
30
for
each
person
and
then
I
will
read
off
the
first
three
names
and
we'll
go
from
there.
A
G
H
A
H
Hello,
I'm
Dan
Joseph
I'm
here
for
proposed
ordinance,
24
0,
20,
snow
removal,
which
needs
amending
when
Evanston
has
a
major
debility
debilitating
snowstorm,
City
trucks,
Paul
iceberg,
dense,
stop
slush
onto
sidewalks,
I
have
crosswalks
the
city
moves
it
there.
The
city
should
remove
it,
not
the
adjacent,
proper
property
owners.
H
It's
on
the
book
already
that
the
property
owners
are
responsible
for
it.
Yet
MIT
has
not
been
enforced,
nobody's
cited
for
it
and
the
snow
just
stays
there.
So
why
have
it
on
the
books?
If
it's
not
necessary
pedestrians,
hatch
I
should
have
priority
over
automobiles,
clear,
the
sidewalks
but
the
city.
Should
we
not
put
snow
that
on
the
sidewalks
that
was
on
the
street?
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
Trampling
on
Evanston's
voters
Constitution
on
the
rights
is
becoming
commonplace
for
this
council,
but
a
majority
of
the
council
members
could
change
that.
Bring
your
own
motion
to
draft
an
Evanston
voter
initiative
for
the
November
ballot.
The
Evanston
voter
initiative
will
succeed
one
way
or
another
sooner
or
later.
It
would
be
to
this
council's
advantage
to
initiate
the
referendum
yourselves
for
more
democracy,
not
Rainey's,
effort
to
limit
democracy.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
J
Good
evening
Council,
so
my
name
is
Carolyn.
Marie
I
wanted
to
bring
a
humanistic
side
to
the
most
recent
publication
of
the
data
breach
for
snapchat
I
want
to
tell
you
about
one
of
the
parents
who
wasn't
notified
that
wasn't
aware
that
her
son,
who
moved
out
of
Evanston
and
she
has
a
younger
son
that
was
that
lives
at
that
same
address.
J
That
was
posted
on
the
snapchat
and
she
was
very
concerned
about
the
safety
of
her
son,
because
the
older
son
did
not
live
there
anymore
and
they
look
identical
and
I'm
going
to
tell
you
about
another
family
who
wasn't
notified
and
that
black
man
that
was
posted
and
his
name
and
address
he
later
went
on
to
graduate
from
Morehouse.
He
has
done
very
well
and
has
been
a
teacher
in
the
Illinois
area,
so
to
say
that
they
were
notified.
J
I'm
really,
not
sure,
because
no
one
that
contacted
me
and
I
had
at
least
four
phone
calls
in
regards
to
this
investigation,
but
we're
questioning
the
fact
that
he
put
a
timeline
for
an
investigation
for
kids
who
weren't
even
in
Illinois
at
the
time.
So
the
incident
cited
that
there
were
accidents
I
just
want
a
question:
why
is
there
constant
accident
as
it
pertains
to
blackmail
in
Evanston?
You
have
an
accident
where
there
accidentally
arrested
for
still
in
their
own
vehicle
they're
held
in
a
paddy
wagon.
J
J
K
You
I'm
mark
Simon,
chairman
of
the
Preservation
Commission
I'm,
here,
to
speak
with
respect
to
the
612
Judson
appeal,
I'm,
not
really
here
just
to
oppose
the
appeal,
but
just
to
try
to
place
it
in
its
proper
context.
The
homeowners
purchased
this
1873
home
with
the
best
of
intentions,
and
fortunately,
after
trying
to
restore
the
windows,
realize
there
was
lead
paint
in
the
window.
Jambs
they've
decided
they
need
to
replace
the
windows.
The
Preservation
Commission
did
not
oppose
this
decision.
Our
preservation
code
requires
an
a
quote
in
the
event.
Replacement
is
necessary.
K
The
new
material
should
match
the
material
being
replaced
in
composition,
design,
color,
texture
and
other
visual
qualities
to
comply
with
Illinois
and
federal
standards.
Historic
wint
windows
can
be
replaced
by
similar
appearing
water,
clad
wood
windows
and
limited
circumstances.
We've
approved
the
use
of
fibrex
a
composite
material,
that's
partly
wood.
What
the
Commission
did
here
do
here
was
to
disapprove
replacement
with
vinyl
windows
lionel's
cheaper
than
wood
based
products,
but
will
not
maintain
the
historic
qualities
and
craftsmanship
of
this
1873
home
looks
poor
with
where
and
is
a
non
sustainable
material.
K
It
doesn't
comply
with
the
Evanston
ordinance
replacement
with
code
compliant
windows
that
does
cost
more
than
vinyl
windows,
but
is
the
type
of
usual
cost
that
we
expect
owners
of
historic
properties
to
bear
as
the
price
for
living
in
a
beautiful
neighborhood?
The
issue
here
is
not
that
wood-clad
windows
are
an
unusual
expense,
but
that
these
homeowners
have
personal
financial
stresses.
The
commissioners
were
sympathetic
to
their
plight,
but
felt
as
a
loss
as
to
how
the
Commission
could
determine
who
could
afford
to
follow
the
preservation
standards
and
who
might
receive
a
partial
waiver.
K
L
Good
evening,
Tina
Payton,
11:22
Emerson,
so
just
follow
up
on
the
comment
from
the
previous
gentleman
about
the
snow
removal.
As
you
can
see
at
when
two
of
our
properties
on
Emerson,
you
can
see
that
this
boulders
of
snow
did
not
fall
from
the
sky.
This
is
the
city
plowing
the
snow
and,
as
you
can
see
from
the
second
column,
the
snow
was
plowed
so
hard
that
it
hit
the
door
in
the
window
of
the
building,
which
is
outrageous
and
unacceptable.
Could
we
spend
some
time
on
giving
training
on
how
to
plow
plow
the
snow?
L
M
So
I'm
here
about
the
proposed
parking
lot,
it's
in
a
church,
especially
use
permit
and
so
I
live
at
1627
Lincoln
Street
and
my
garage
shares
the
alley
with
the
proposed
parking
lot
by
st.
Athanasius
Church
in
school.
In
fact,
the
proposal
parking
lot
would
be
lined
up
behind
my
garage
I
copied
you
all
in
on
an
email
to
alderman,
Revell
last
Friday
and
I
hope
you
had
a
chance
to
read
a
more
detailed
account
of
what
the
last
ten
years
have
been
like.
M
Sharing
the
alley
and
being
neighbors
with
Saintes
I
just
want
to
reiterate
my
main
points
here
tonight.
First
seimei's
has
been
using
our
city-owned
alley
as
an
access
where,
for
ten
years
they
have
made
promises
and
have
not
kept
them.
They
have
blocked
access
to
Miami
garage
in
the
afternoons
for
about
20
minutes
a
day
five
days
a
week,
nine
months
of
the
year,
and
they
tell
me
it's
not
too
much
of
an
inconvenience.
I
would
say
it's
a
big
inconvenience.
M
The
alley
is
an
alley
and
it
is
not
wide
enough
to
be
an
access
road.
They
required.
Two
foot
setback
isn't
enough.
When
cars
are
trying
to
pass,
I
have
to
use
the
open
space
that
will
be
filled
with
parked
cars
if
the
parking
lot
goes
ahead.
The
school
states
that
the
purpose
of
this
lot
is
to
move
parked
cars
from
the
north
lot
to
create
open
space
for
the
kids
to
play.
The
proposed
parking
spaces
is
not
is
not
enough.
M
N
Changed
Davis
I
also
love
her
1627
Lincoln
Street.
So
carrying
on
from
my
wife's
comments,
I
am
curious
to
hear
from
the
council
what
their
thoughts
are
about.
The
shortcomings
that
the
Zoning
Board
identified
in
extensive
considerations
late
last
year,
I'm
not
convinced
that
the
amendments
that
have
been
put
forward
come
near
to
addressing
it.
Even
the
one
amendment
they've
made
I,
don't
think,
will
actually
address
the
fundamental
challenge
of
people
parking
in
our
alley
and
disruptive
traffic
in
the
immediate
neighborhood.
N
So
it
became
to
hear
the
city's
thought
that
councilmembers
thoughts
on
that
I'm
also
keen
to
understand
what
limitations
might
be
imposed
if
the
approval
to
use
these
parking
spaces
goes
ahead
without
serious
problems
with
when
they
rent
the
space
out
of
football
games,
people
lighting
fires
right
behind
my
gut
backyard,
the
language
my
children
have
to
hear
it's
not
acceptable.
When
asked
about
this.
Previously
they
indicated
they
don't
have
control
of
it.
N
I
think
they've
said
they're
not
going
to
renew
it
this
year,
but
who
knows
what
they'll
do
in
the
future
so
I
want?
The
council
put
some
limitations
on
I'd
like
season
teeth
to
those
limitations
as
well,
because,
frankly,
the
school
does
not
have
a
good
record
of
sticking
by
the
promises.
It
makes
it's
very
good
at
saying
old,
but
people
there
to
staff
the
ally
will
supervise
things.
They
do
it
for
a
few
weeks
and
stops
so
our
anxious,
which
we
try
to
be
a
good
neighbor
to
them.
N
O
Mary
residence
kay
I
feel
these
guys
pain
because
you
know
within
the
northwestern
we
deal
with
that.
All
the
time
and
I
just
find
it
ironic
that
staff
is
not
recommending,
although
I
don't
want
them
to
have
to
deal
with
what
we
have
to
deal
with.
But
I
really
came
here
to
talk
about
a
I
love,
the
new
parking
app
and
I
love
being
having
Stern
on
Sundays.
So
thank
you
for
that,
because
that
is
awesome
that
you
can
go
from
place
to
place
and
take
your
time
right
am
I
correct
on
that.
It's
awesome.
O
I
did
also
want
to
speak.
That
Evi
is
not
a
threat
to
democracy.
It
advances
in
supplements
democracy
by
giving
people
who
are
willing
to
work
really
hard
on
an
issue
the
opportunity
to
have
it
and
considered
it
takes
thousands
of
peoples
and
thousands
of
hours
of
people's
time
to
have
a
voice.
Almost
all
referendum
questions
have
two
sides
and
it's
up
to
both
sides
to
present
their
cases
to
the
public
through
the
forums,
meetings,
news
and
then
on
Election
Day.
O
It's
up
to
the
voters
to
decide
the
opposition
to
Evi
is
the
real
threat
to
democracy.
A
few
people
are
opposed
and
then
rarely
the
weight
of
the
city
resources
to
back
there
and
fund
their
opposition,
rather
than
take
the
case
to
the
public
and
let
the
issues
see
the
light
of
day.
I
hope
that
the
appellate
court
decides
in
favor
of
the
people's
initiative.
O
This
is
a
tool
which
rain
never
be
used
if
the
council
is
responsive,
but
when
the
governing
body
does
not
follow
its
rules
or
procedures
or
ignore
its
a
public,
then
this
can
be
a
tool
to
bring
democracy
back.
It's
not
an
easy
procedure,
it
takes
times
and
it
takes
resources
and
I
also
love
the
idea.
I
read
through
your
sustainability,
I
wish
robber
crown
had
in
used
more
of
these
things
like
solar
panels.
Geothermal
thank.
P
I'm
Liz
Kramer
and
I'm,
representing
Evanston,
made
tonight
and
I'm
just
here
to
share
with
you
our
programming
for
April.
We
have
a
program
called
art
for
the
earth,
which
is
a
citywide
month-long
celebration
of
the
Arts
honoring,
the
50th
anniversary
of
Earth
Day
and
Earth
Month,
utilizing
the
voices
of
our
artists
and
their
work
to
bring
attention
to
Earth
Month
and
our
commitment
to
protecting
the
environment
and
taking
action
against
climate
change.
P
Our
arts
programming
for
the
month
kicks
off
on
April
4th
with
first
Saturday
Evanston
and
includes
exhibitions,
artist,
talks,
demonstrations
and
aren't
making
for
all
ages
in
multiple
locations
throughout
the
city.
We
are
collaborating
with
cge
Alliance
for
the
Great
Lakes
and
several
other
organizations
to
bring
subject
matter
experts
into
our
art
events,
so
that
we
can
have
an
education
and
a
public
engagement
activity
and
to
participate
in
giving
everybody
something
to
take
action
on
for
Earth
Month
and
we're
also
asking
our
businesses
in
town
to
participate
through
our
windows
for
the
earth.
P
Q
R
R
We
have
met
with
the
census,
specialist
and,
and
a
group
of
us
in
the
on
committees
have
all
been
trained
by
our
regional
representatives,
so
that
representative,
or
someone
from
the
Evanston
local
branch
is
out
here
and
ready
and
willing
to
assist
any
of
you
in
hosting
any
events
that
you
have
we're.
Looking
for
seeing
people
that
are
in
senior
facilities,
our
fraternities
or
sororities.
All
of
the
awards,
our
Civic
club
faith-based
organization,
any
of
those
we
are
willing
to
work
with
and
we're
hope,
you're
willing
to
work
with
us.
R
S
Good
evening,
Carla
Sutton,
1821,
Darrell
Avenue
I'll,
be
brief.
I'm
here
to
about
the
concern
of
ordinance
24:02
about
the
sidewalks
cleared
of
snow,
it's
been
a
very
concern
in
my
block.
The
1800
block
up
Darrell,
especially
with
driveways
occupied
by
three
elderly
residents,
who
have
had
extensive
problems
with
the
snowball
blocking
their
driveways
in
after
they
have
removed
the
snow
by
half.
Now
my
dad
drove
a
snowplow
in
the
city
for
30
years,
and
the
practice
then
was
when
you
got
to
people's
private
driveways.
S
You
raised
the
blade,
so
you
would
not
break
their
backs.
Maybe
you
could
talk
to
tell
the
snowplow
drivers
that
you
probably
implement
the
practices
that
they
used
in
the
past
to
give
the
residents
a
chance
not
rather
harassing
them,
and
especially
in
the
fifth
Ward
about
coming
around
and
removing
snow.
You
could
also
remove
the
snow
on
some
of
your
own
sidewalks,
like
around
dempster
and
on
dodge.
You
know
you
should
set
the
rather
than
punishing
us
for
not
doing
our
work.
S
T
Thank
you
very
much
I'm
Leslie
Shannon,
I'm
speaking
about
natural
habitat
Evanston,
and
thank
you
all
for
the
tree
ordinance
proposal.
That's
coming
up
tonight
and
focusing
on
trees.
We
greatly
appreciate
it.
I
just
want
to
mention
that
this
is
really
to
protect
the
biggest
trees,
the
20
to
25
inch
and
above
and
I
want
to
mention
that
the
current
draft
to
me
and
my
understanding
is
that
it
allows
trees
to
a
permit
to
be
applied
for
the
trees.
But
what
would
then
happen
is
that
there
would
be
a
replacement
or
a
payout.
T
You
know
the
trees
would
be
priced
out
or
they
would
be
replaced
instead
of
preserved
and
I.
Just
want
to
put
a
pitch
in
for
preserving
these
big
old
trees.
Other
North
Star
communities
deal
with
that
by
trying
to
create
a
standard
by
which
permits
are
approved
or
not.
This
I
believe
that
Evanston's
proposal
really
just
allows
the
city
to
just
provide
permits
that
replace
or
charge
out
for
trees.
So
that's
a
an
appeal
to
preserve
these
old
trees.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
everything
you
all
do.
U
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Paul
Harvey
35
year
resident
in
Evanston
25
years
at
stea,
neighs
I'm,
here
pitching
to
get
some
support
for
the
addition
of
what
is
10
parking
spaces
on
our
property.
Yes,
it
does
have
a
variety
of
alleys
that
are
there
and
needs
some
attention,
and
we've
we've
gone
through
that
for
quite
some
time.
U
I
want
to
thank
miss
Ravel,
as
I've
thanked
her
before
for
much
of
the
time
and
leading
this
to
a
solution,
so
hopefully
we're
getting
closer
to
that,
and
also
we've
had
Scott
Mangum,
Laura,
Biggs
and
rajeev,
who
came
out
to
do
a
traffic
study
for
us
as
well.
So
we've
gone
through
a
variety
of
iterations.
We've
made
some
good
progress,
we're
trying
to
essentially
alleviate
congestion
in
the
parishes
main
parking
lot,
allowing
students
a
better
place
with
a
consolidated
outdoor
play
area
with
no
moving
cars,
so
we're
really
just
moving
them
to
another.
U
U
We
also
had
hopefully
productive
meetings
with
with
our
neighbors,
with
the
community
at
large,
with
the
parish
and
with
the
older
woman
that
was
nice
of
her
to
attend,
and
then
the
north
parking
lot
can
be
rented
but
must
have
a
variety
of
tailgate
issues
enacted
and
those
were
in
place
before
we
will
do
a
better
job
of
making
them.
Certainly
loud
and
clear.
Thank
thank.
U
A
V
Ation
Ninth
Ward
I'm
directing
my
remarks
to
the
mayor
and
the
council
and
the
voters
of
Evanston
there's
a
controversy
going
on
about
the
Emison
voter
initiative
and
it's
important
that
everyone
knows
what
is
at
stake.
The
Evi
is
a
referendum
that,
if
passed
by
a
majority
of
voters,
will
give
the
voters
of
Evanston
a
mechanism
to
bring
proposed
ordinances
and
policy
proposals
before
the
council
by
petition
and
referendum.
V
V
When
support
has
collected
over
800
signatures
to
put
this
measure
on
the
ballot,
we
thought
it
would
be
there
on
March
17th,
but
a
few
residents
objected
and
the
electoral
board,
which
is
empowered
to
consider
such
objections,
voted
to
approve
the
objections
and
block
the
initiative
from
going
forward
to
the
ballot.
Supporters
like
myself,
have
appealed
that
decision,
and
the
matter
is
now
before
the
Illinois
appellate
court.
V
We
think
that
these
objectors
are
trying
to
deny
the
voters
of
Evanston
from
deciding
whether
or
not
they
would
like
to
have
this
infusion
of
democracy
into
their
basic
system
of
governance.
A
couple
of
my
colleagues
will
also
speak
on
this
and
I
hope
they
will
pose
some
questions
to
the
council
as
to
where
they
stand
on
the
Evi.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
W
W
The
young
lady
had
been
shot
following
this
gang
activity,
while
the
students
that
was
going
on
because
they
threatened
a
family
that
we're
going
to
kill
your
son
and
then
they
decided
they're
going
to
get
anyone
in
the
family.
They
could
so
see
that
shot
and
she
moved
out
of
Evanston
and
with
the
upcoming
s
now
where
she
lives.
Where
all
of
our
personal
information
is
concerned,
she
is
under
doctors
care
that
she
is
gonna.
Get
murdered.
W
W
W
W
W
It
doesn't
have
to
be
you
and
your
family
for
it
to
make
a
difference
and
whether
someone's
getting
killed
or
not.
They
just
have
to
have
a
heart
to
care.
You've
got
a
care.
If
you
aren't
gonna
do
something
about
it.
Well,
you
will
demonstrating
you,
don't
care
I,
think
you
think
more
needs
to
be
done.
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I.
Thank
you
for
your
patience,
but
this.
A
Z
Want
to
thank
mr.
Sutton
because
he
had
read
what
I
wrote
before
I
got
here.
It
was
to
a
group
of
people
that
I
am
adore
in
terms
of
their
devotion
to
fairness,
equity
and
making
things
evidence
in
a
better
place,
despite
many
setbacks
in
their
lives
and
I
get
inspired
by
being
with
them.
So
what
it's
with
that
humility
and
with
mr.
Gibbs
as
well
that
I
address
you
and
you
can
read
the
rest
of
it
if
I
don't
finish
it,
because
I
want
to
make
this
from
the
heart.
Z
I
feel
there's
an
opportunity
for
more
experienced
and
greater
voices
than
mine
at
the
upcoming
March
5th,
affordable
housing,
community
meeting
the
recent
220
joint
meeting,
we're
talking
about
environmental
board
and
equity
and
empowerment.
Commission
was
timely
and
monumental
like
you've.
Not
heard
me
use
that
word
regarding
sustainability
and
environmental
justice,
but
short
on
voices
attending
that
meeting,
so
greater
two-way
community
engagement,
then
currently
at
City.
Z
Environmental
and
social
justice
considering
can
integrate
and
simplify,
as
with
my
212
answer,
to
affordable
housing
questionnaire,
which
I
include
as
my
background
and
lastly,
as
we
know,
the
zoning
must
address
environmental
challenges
and
social
justice
as
they
relate
to
our
whole.
Community
sustainability
and
resiliency
need
to
be
in
our
conversations
if
we're
going
to
promote
and
protect
social,
economic
and
community
well-being,
especially
for
the
most
vulnerable,
to
whom
I'm
indebted
thank.
AA
Good
evening,
everyone
ray
Friedman's.
Second
ward,
you
know
the
world
is
in
a
very
fragile
state
right
now
we
have
a
lot
of
issues:
the
coronavirus,
global
warming,
global
economy,
housing
issues,
to
name
a
few,
not
to
mention
the
stock
market
dropped
over
a
thousand
points
today,
I,
don't
think
that
ever
happened
and
they're
predicting
12
inches
of
snow
in
the
next
couple
of
days.
Those
are
issues
we
don't
have
much
control
over.
So
let's
talk
about
a
few
issues
that
we
do.
AA
AA
When
will
we
have
the
discussion
with
HR
gov
and
most
important?
Why
are
you
against
putting
evanston
voter
initiative
on
the
ballot
so
that
Evanston
registered
voters
can
have
a
voice
and
a
choice
as
intended
by
the
Constitution?
Do
you
think
that,
by
ignoring
our
questions
and
concerns
that
these
issues
will
go
away
or
sell
themselves,
I
can
assure
you
they
will
not
go
away,
and
neither
will
we
thank
you.
A
AB
City
manager,
deputy
clerk
and
fellow
citizens,
we
have
a
Republican
form
of
government
in
this
country
and
in
this
council,
in
other
words,
you
individuals
represent
people
citizens
of
this
particular
city.
Unfortunately,
one
of
the
problem
usually
occurs.
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
politics
is
that
you
have
more
information,
you
make
decisions
that
affect
the
entire
community,
and
sometimes
you
acquire
a
certain
sense
of
self.
AB
There
are
many
strike
that
we
need
to
realize
that
you
have
the
power,
but
in
fact
the
power
is
with
the
vote,
so
the
pause
with
the
people
so
I'm
recommending
very
strongly
that
you
begin
to
think
more
about
the
people
that
you
represent,
rather
than
the
issues
that
you're
concerned.
Thank
you
thank
thank
you.
Vanna.

Hello
I'm
al
Jake,
Martinez
Olsen
and
I'm
a
senior
at
Evanston,
Township,
High,
School
I,
stand
before
you
today,
out
of
fear,
I'm
afraid
for
the
future
of
my
friends,
my
children
and
myself.
It
gives
me
constant
anxiety,
knowing
that
we
are
organizing
more
quickly
to
resolve
the
issue
of
the
climate
crisis.
AC
I
take
individual
steps
every
day
and
I've
devoted
hours
of
my
time
to
climate
justice
movements,
but
after
all
this
time,
I
realized
that
one
you
should
change
are
the
systems
that
we
interact
with
the
only
way
I
can
get
rid
of
that
constant
fear
is
to
know
that
I'm
surrounded
by
institutions
that
fully
recognize
our
fears
and
take
tangible
steps
to
address
them.
Other
cities
have
taken
great
strides
in
becoming
sustainable.
Other
cities
have
recognized
that
climate
change
is
a
social
justice
and
equity
issue.
AC
AD
But
as
a
member
of
Gen,
Z
I
feel
as
though
it
is
my
duty
to
stand
up
for
myself.
Even
my
peers,
who
aren't
as
educated
or
don't
have
adequate
resources
in
the
face
of
fighting
this
frightening
crisis.
In
terms
of
the
city
of
Evanston,
we
passed
carpet
in
December
of
2018.
It
has
been
over
a
year
since
then
and
we
have
yet
to
implement
it
in
a
way
that
is
truly
impactful
in
the
community
as
a
teenager.
Who
is
scared
for
her
future
and
knows
that
change
only
begins
with
policy.
AD
Y
Y
So
I
did
want
to
say
on
a
positive
note
that
some
of
us
met
with
the
mayor
and
interim
city
manager
in
January,
and
we
were
very
encouraged
by
their
commitment
to
leading
the
city
on
climate
action
and
using
their
positions
to
spread
the
word
about
its
urgency.
So
thank
you.
I
know.
You've
been
out
there
doing
that.
In
that
meeting
we
we
also
underscored
what
we
see
as
the
importance
of
making
sustainability
and
climate
resilience
a
key
factor
in
the
recruitment
and
selection
of
a
new
city
manager.
Y
So
I
know
that's
on
the
agenda
tonight
of
training
the
whole
staff
on
climate
action,
so
we
can
all
be
acting
in
concert
in
evaluating
city
actions
through
the
lens
of
climate
action
and
looking
ahead
just
officially
making
implementation
of
carp
a
an
official
city
policy
and
a
goal.
So
we
ask
your
support
as
the
council
for
all
of
these
as
well.
I
know
you'll
be
hearing
from
Kumar
Jensen
this
evening,
and
we
just
want
to
express
our
support
for
him
as
well.
Thank
you,
Thank.
AE
Hi
good
evening
my
name
is
Lauren
Marcos
B,
so
I'm,
a
second
ward
resident
and
I
work
at
Rotary,
International
I
am
the
vice
president
of
citizens.
Greener,
Evanston
and
I
was
the
co-chair
of
the
mayor's
climate
action
and
resilience
plan
working
group.
So
this
is
the
year
2020
this
year,
I
will
be
40
years
old,
a
milestone
for
my
entire
life.
Climate
change
and
its
adverse
impacts
have
been
known
and
world
leaders
policymakers,
corporations,
cities,
older
generations
have
failed
me.
They
failed
my
son.
They
failed
us.
AE
AE
It's
also
not
just
about
one
department
or
one
person
working
on
sustainability,
but
each
and
every
city,
department
and
team
being
trained
on
and
knowledgeable
about
the
carp
plan
and
what
it
means
for
the
work
they
do
and
then
working
together
toward
cohesive
and
clear
goals
laid
out
in
a
very
clear
and
concise
carp
implementation
plan.
I
believe
the
city
should
look
into
hiring
an
outside
consultant
to
assist
with
the
creation
of
a
very
detailed
carp
implementation
plan.
AE
AF
Marika
BIA
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
district
65,
green
teams,
I'm
also
a
physician
with
an
interest
in
the
connection
between
climate
change
and
health,
I'm
from
Puerto
Rico
and
both
my
kids
have
attended
the
Dual
Language
Program.
We
have
made
strides
in
some
schools
in
the
district
65,
yet
it
is
time
for
these
efforts
to
reach
not
just
the
lucky
few,
but
all
district
65
students
where
I
stand
I
have
no
trouble
seeing
the
urgency
of
climate
action.
AF
Both
my
kids
have
on
separate
occasions,
told
me
that
they
have
heard
friends
tell
them
that
the
world
would
end
in
ten
years
if
we
do
not
solve
the
climate
crisis
now.
This
was
obviously
a
misunderstanding.
Based
on
the
concept
of
the
carbon
budget.
I
know
my
children
are
not
alone
in
their
anxiety
and
the
feeling
of
urgency,
and
it
breaks
my
heart
that
it's,
the
kids
and
not
the
adults
who
are
feeling
this
we're
appreciative
of
the
work
that
Kumar
and
the
entire
cart
group
have
performed.
AF
Implementing
carp
would
help
incentivize
district
65
to
use
a
uniform
lens
of
sustainability
when
making
purchasing
training,
energy
and
curriculum
decisions.
This
concerted
approach
is
needed
to
educate
the
environmental
stewards
who
will
sustain
carp
goals
in
the
future.
The
longer
we
wait
to
implement
the
more
we
contribute
to
widening
health
disparities.
I
invite
everyone
to
attend
the
screening
of
the
documentary
cooked
this
Thursday,
because
there's
no
more
graphic
representation
of
climate
and
equity
than
seeing
the
literal
mass
graves
that
were
dug
for
victims
of
the
1995
heat
waves.
AF
Extreme
temperatures
can
be
lethal,
but
they're,
always
more
so
for
the
sick,
the
poor
and
the
elderly.
The
City
Council
must
empower
Kumar
and
his
team
with
the
resources
needed
to
expedite
the
implementation
of
carp,
our
kids
and
the
generations
after
them
to
serve
more
than
words
on
a
piece
of
paper.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AG
Thank
You
mayor
and
councilmembers
I
just
wanted
to
note
into
the
record
that
week
and
a
half
ago
we
lost
a
very
dear
friend
to
our
community
here
in
Evanston,
Reverend
chaplain,
father,
David,
Jones
I,
don't
have
time
with
the
minute
in
order
to
sit
in
eulogize
eulogize
him.
But
he
was
an
unbelievable
spiritual
leader
here
in
Evanston
who
had
tremendous
love
of
every
single
one
of
our
citizens.
It
was
well
respected
in
our
community
and
his
passing
is
going
to
leave
a
big
hole
here
in
our
city.
AG
AH
Darleen
canons
second
Ward
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
Evy
I.
The
question
now
arises:
why
would
a
few
individuals,
including
the
mayor,
aldermen,
draining
former
aldermen
with
Jane
Grover
and
a
few
others
want
to
prevent,
prevent
voters
from
having
a
more
say
in
deciding
what
matters
in
what
matters?
And
what
and
the
council
should
address
these?
The
even
the
Evi
does
not
take
away
from
the
council's
responsibility
to
make
the
final
decision,
but
we
would
require
them
to
make
a
public
decision
on
matters
important
to
their
constituents.
AH
It
provides
the
voters
with
more
democracy
and
does
not
change
the
basic
form
of
our
government.
It's
that
simple.
We
have
never
heard
what
the
members
of
the
council
think
about
Evi.
Do
you
favor
such
a
mechanism?
We
would
like
to
know
at
the
moment
it
appears
the
City
Council
is
paying
expensive
lawyers
who
specialize
and
municipal
matters
to
force
to
forestall
a
decision
by
the
courts
to
allow
the
referendum
to
go
forward,
an
effort,
in
effect
using
tax
payers
of
funds
to
prevent
voters
from
having
more
democracy.
This
is
quite
ironic,
unfair
and
unpopular.
AH
X
Good
evening
Roger,
so
so
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
I'm
here
in
support
of
the
work
that's
being
done
by
Kumar
Jensen
and
his
team
on
carp,
the
chamber
wants
to
make
it
public
that
we
publicly
very
much
support
the
goals
of
carp.
We
believe
that
it's
a
really
it's
a
great
goal
to
be
carbon
free
and
carbon
neutral.
Excuse
me
by
2050
nobody's
going
to
be
carbon
free
and
the
chamber
has
participated
in
helping
them
in
this
process.
We've
conducted
surveys
with
our
members.
X
We've
had
members
of
Kumar's
team
at
several
of
our
events
and
to
pass
out
literature.
We've
been
actively
working
with
that
team
to
help
plan
things
for
the
for
the
future,
as
we
see
it
for
businesses
in
Evanston,
the
climate
action
is
not
just
an
opportunity
to
do
the
right
thing,
but
it's
also
an
opportunity
to
be
smart
from
a
business
perspective.
X
A
Thank
you
Roger,
it's
great
to
have
a
leader
from
the
business
community
here
speaking
about
the
importance
of
the
environment.
Thank
you,
everybody
for
coming
out
for
public
comments
being
oh,
if
your
name
was
on
I
missed
it
I'm
sorry
come
on
come
on
up
here
and
introduce
yourself
my
apologies
and
then
we'll
move
into
the
agenda.
Yes,.
AI
We've
been
going
back
and
forth
on
this
for
a
little
bit
and
I
support
everything
that
Kelsey
and
James
were
saying
about
the
issues,
the
very
serious
issues
surrounding
the
safety
of
the
children
and
the
families
that
are
back
up
to
that
alley.
But
I
want
the
I'm
asking
a
council
and
the
mayor
to
also
consider
one
other
thing:
that
property
until
a
year
and
a
half
ago
had
a
little
white
house
on
it
and
was
zoned.
AI
Residential
and
I
am
questioning
the
right
of
any
institution
to
change
the
look
and
feel
of
a
residential
neighborhood.
They
have
purchased
the
house
next
door
and
so
now
all
the
property.
The
borders
Saintes,
is
now
owned
by
Saintes
and
they
are
looking
for
special
use
permits
to
turn
what
used
to
be
a
lovely
yard
and
a
lovely
home
into
a
parking
lot.
There's
a
great
song
about
that.
But
I
won't
go
into
that.
AI
So
I
urge
you,
along
with
Kelsey
and
James,
and
our
neighbors,
to
vote
against
the
special
use
permit
because
it
changes
the
feel
of
our
neighborhood
and
I
know.
None
of
you
would
want
that
to
happen
in
your
own
neighborhoods
and
it
also
undermines
the
safety
of
the
community.
What's
been
going
on
with
the
tailgating
has
been
dangerous
and
it
has
not
been
healthy
for
the
neighborhood
so
I.
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
agree.
David
Jones
was
a
wonderful
guy
and
I
didn't
know.
I
was
wearing
green
on
purpose,
but
I'm
with
you.
A
AJ
A
AJ
I
do
want
to
speak
to
this
issue.
It
is
in
the
Third
Ward,
which
almost
all
of
the
third
Ward
is
in
the
lakeshore.
Historic
district
and
I
have
always
been
a
very,
very
strong
supporter
and
proponent
of
historic
preservation
here
in
Evanston,
not
only
just
in
my
ward
and
indeed
in
my
with
my
own
home,
when
we
did
a
renovation
a
number
of
years
ago.
AJ
We
followed
the
preservation
ordinance
very
carefully,
even
though
my
house
is
not
a
landmark,
but
in
this
very
specific
instance,
I
have
talked
with
the
homeowner
and
met
with
the
homeowner.
I
am
going
to
support
I'm
going
to
make
sure
I
have
to
make
sure
I'm
gonna
support
a
denial
I'm
going
to
support
their
appeal.
AJ
Don't
know
all
the
details
of
its
wear,
but
I
think
it
is
it's
much
more.
It's
more
expensive
than
vinyl
and
I
think
is
certainly
much
better
than
having
it
replaced
by
vinyl.
The
these.
These
homeowners
recognize
that
they
were
buying
a
home
in
in
the
historic
district.
They
were
happy
to
do
that.
They
met
with
Carlos
Ruiz
our
preservation
coordinator
beforehand.
AJ
They
they
were
very
excited
about
this
house.
They
knew
that
it
needed
a
fair
amount
of
renovation
and
they
undertook
that,
but
this
renovation
has
turned
out
to
be
more
than
twice
as
expensive
as
they
expected.
Even
their
home
inspector
did
not
discover
that
there
was
an
extra
chimney
hidden
in
the
walls
of
their
home
and
several
notched
beams
they've
undertaken
the
asbestos
removal
and
there
are
a
number
of
other
things,
but
they
have
an
extra
$100,000
in
renovation
costs.
AJ
Added
to
this,
this
house
that
they
purchased
and
did
work
on
a
great
deal,
so
I
think
I
recognize
that
that
living
in
a
preservation
in
a
historic
district
that
you
do
have
extra
costs,
but
there
are
extra
benefits.
However,
in
this
instance,
I
believe
that
the
porters
made
a
very
good
faith
effort.
AJ
They
were
they're
not
trying
to
evade
our
preservation
ordinance
in
any
way
and
because
they
are
there
replacing
the
windows
not
with
vinyl
windows,
but
with
this
other
particular
kind
of
window,
which
I
believe
is
called
an
elevate
and
that
the
closest
window
to
the
sidewalk
that
they
are
replacing
is
73
feet.
So
these
are
not
on
the
front
face
of
the
of
the
house.
AJ
So
I
do
not
want
to
set
a
precedent
by
doing
this
and
I
appreciate
the
Preservation
Commission
chair,
coming
and
telling
talking
to
us
about
this
this
evening
and
I
believe
that,
under
this
set
of
facts
and
circumstances,
that
I
am
in
support
of
the
porters
and
their
plan
to
replace
the
windows.
But
in
my
in
the
future,
I
would
never
support
vinyl
windows
but
I.
Think
in
this
particular
set
of
facts
and
circumstances.
The
distance
from
the
sidewalk
I
am
supportive.
E
You
mr.
mayor
well,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
Mark
Simon
for
coming
and
explaining
the
Preservation
Commission's
position
on
this.
For
those
of
us
who
have
been
deeply
involved
in
historic
preservation
of
houses
in
Evanston
and
working
with
the
Preservation
Commission,
the
windows
are
the
single,
most
important
element
in
a
historic
house.
So
it's
it's
not
just.
Oh,
they
want
to
replace
their
windows.
This
is
this
is
extremely
important.
The
problem
with
vinyl
windows
is
the
vinyl
vinyl.
E
Just
does
not
give
when
a
house
has
been
here
for
50
or
100
or
105
50
years,
there's
a
certain
amount
of
movement
in
a
house
and
in
the
in
the
structure
foundation
of
the
house
that
the
final
window
simply
are
not
forgiving.
The
best
thing
to
do,
as
mr.
Simon
said,
is
to
is
to
rework
the
wooden
windows
and
hopefully
keep
the
house
intact
with
its
original
materials.
I.
E
E
E
E
My
husband
I
put
an
addition
on
the
landmark.
We've
got
wood
windows,
we
kept
the
wood
windows
and
we
put
on
wooden
storm
windows
and
that
seemed
to
solve
our
energy.
Our
energy
questions,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
you
can
do
and
I
understand.
The
homeowner
here
has
made
has
made
certainly
a
valiant
effort
to
try
to
do
that.
But
when
you
walk
into
a
home
improvement
store,
or
you
watch
Saturday
afternoon,
TV
and
everyone's
telling
you,
oh
you,
can
rip
this
out
and
put
this
in.
E
It
makes
me
cringe
because
there's
so
many
other
alternatives
that
that
homeowners
can
be
doing
that
in
a
lot
of
cases,
are
less
expensive
and
much
more
compatible
with
the
historic
nature
of
their
house.
So
I
think
we
as
a
city
can
try
to
deal
with
that
and
play
our
role
as
educators,
but
I
think
in
this
case
a
good
compromise
has
been
reached.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
the
application
has
will
be
amended
to
reflect
that
there
were
no
longer
approving
vinyl
windows.
I.
Think.
A
AK
Rainey
I'm
gonna,
respond,
alderman,
Fisk,
I,
read
the
packet
and
the
the
efforts
of
the
Preservation
Commission
and
the
applicant
a
little
differently.
I
read
it
in
the
reverse
that
the
applicant
had
done
everything
humanly
possible,
given
their
situation
to
meet
the
demands
required
of
them,
and
they
said
very
clearly
after
page
after
page
and
point
after
point
in
their
explanation
that
they
were
simply,
they
had
simply
reached
the
end
of
their
rope
and
they
were
physically
in.
AK
It
was
physically
impossible
for
them
to
do
what
the
Preservation
Commission
was
demanding
of
them
and
I
mean,
including
and
I
thought
going
going
to
the
extent
of
putting
wooden
storm
windows
on
the
interior
to
cover
up
the
the
leaded
paint
in
the
interior
front
windows
was
just
going
beyond
the
pale
that
I
felt
that
they
were.
They
were
just
going
way
too
far
in
their
effort.
AK
The
only
preservation
issue
that
I
ever
was
involved
in
was
when
I
helped
lead
the
effort
in
the
open,
historic
district
and
I
promise
people
at
that
time,
and
it
is
a
different
kind
of
historic
district
than
the
lakeshore
district
that
it
wouldn't
be
unreasonable
and
I
have
so
much
respect
for
Alderman
win
in
this
case
for
being
so
reasonable.
Given
these
people
who
who
made
such
an
amazing
effort
to
do
everything
right,
they
have
little
children.
The
real
issue
here
was
led.
AK
They
could
not
scrape
the
lead
out
of
the
tracks
in
the
window
and
the
all
the
experts
told
them.
You
can't
cover
that
up.
When
the
windows
go
up
and
down
and
slide
back
and
forth,
there's
nothing.
You
can
do
the
lead.
The
lead
dust
is
gonna
fly
and
they
had
children.
They
had
a
child
under
one
and
under
five
I
mean
it's
a
horrible
situation,
and
you
know
and
I
don't
think
there
are
people
who
watch
TV
and
you
know
how
to
fix
your
house.
AK
I
think
these
are
people
who
got
into
the
quote-unquote
weeds
of
how
to
fix
this
house
and
they
couldn't
given
the
preservation
commission's
restrictions
and
they
were
just
the
the
the
Commission
was
doing
its
job,
but
there
was
no
way
they
could
get
together.
The
Preservation
Commission
had
to
deny
I
believe
I.
They
had
no
other
choice,
I,
don't
believe
and
I
think
alderman
when
took
the
lead
and
helped
us
to
accept
the
appeal
in
approve
it.
AK
So
I
hope
this
family
lives
there
forever
and
that
everybody's
help
thee
and
nobody
is
I,
mean
the
windows
match
and
I
think
we
have
to
really
be
careful,
because
otherwise
only
people
like
Jennifer
Pritzker
are
going
to
be
able
to
buy
those
big
fancy
houses
in
the
future
and
fix
them.
You
know
I
mean
you
did
what
you
did
years
ago.
You
probably
couldn't
do
what
you
did
no
I'm
just
saying:
I
it's
we.
We
have
to
use
some
common
sense
every
now
and
then,
and
so
therefore
I
I'm
voting
in
favor,
okay.
E
I,
like
you
too,
a
lot
and
I'm
and
I'm
sure
I'm
sure
that
we're
both
really
well
intended
and
we'll
have
a
kumbaya
moment
when
we
when
we
can
hold
hands
I'm,
not
making
any
any
comments
about
these
people
are
lovely
people.
Obviously
they
tried
I'm
just
saying
in
future.
There
is
a
reason
that
we
that
we
have
standards
a
reason
why
windows.
AL
E
AK
E
We're
gonna
I'm,
sorry,
mr.
mayor
I,
just
want
to
say
one
other
thing
and
that
if
the
solution
was
arrived
at
after
the
Preservation
Commission
made
their
decisions
that
they
came
and
they
found
another
window
that
worked
for
them.
Alderman
Wynn
was
heroic
and
in
efforts
to
bring
everyone
together.
So
she
gets
a
lot
of
credit
for
this.
It's
really.
This
is
a
win-win,
so
I
think
we
can
probably
leave
it
at
that.
So
an.
AJ
AF
A
With
those
conditions
on
a
vote
of
eight
to
zero,
we're
not
going
to
move
to
sp2,
which
is
our
sustainability
legislative
update,
Kumar
Jensen,
our
chief
sustainability
and
resilience
officer
is
going
to
get
up
and
speak
about
this
I
before
you
start
to
talk,
Kumar
I
would
just
say
the
history,
so
everybody's
on
the
same
page
is
at
the
end
of
2018.
The
City
Council
adopted
the
climate
resilient
action
plan.
A
It
was
the
third
iteration
of
an
action
plan
here
in
Evanston
along
a
tremendous
work,
went
into
that
by
lots
of
the
folks
that
are
here
in
the
audience
today
and
others
in
the
community.
Kumar
has
spent
last
year
2019
working
with
people
in
the
community
to
put
together
an
implementation
plan.
I
feel
really
strongly
and
I
know
some
other
people
up
here
do
as
well
that
2020
is
the
year
that
have
to
you
know,
pass
ordinances
to
make
progress
and
fulfill
commitments
that
we've
made
in
this
plan.
A
They're
big
commitments
here
that
put
us
sort
of
in
the
leading
pack
in
this
country,
but
a
lot
of
work
has
to
be
done
and
a
lot
of
work.
I
think
groundwork
has
been
laid
already
in
the
fact
that
the
business
community
represented
by
the
chamber
was
up
here
tonight.
Supporting
car
is
a
really
good
sign
of
that.
So
welcome
Kumar,
look
forward
to
what
you
have
to
share
with
us
tonight
on
a
legislative
update
for
2020.
Thank.
AM
You
honorable
mayor
members
of
the
council,
deputy
clerk
and
manager,
star
Li,
Kumar,
Jensen,
chief
sustainability
and
resilience
officer.
I
do
just
want
to
take
a
quick
moment
to
thank
and
recognize
all
the
community
members
who
have
been
working
on
this,
since
not
just
since
since
I've
been
here
since
2018,
but
going
all
the
way
back
to
2005
and
earlier.
A
lot
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
today
is
built
off
of
the
progress
that
has
been
made.
So
this
evening,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
legislative
agenda.
AM
So
actions
within
carp
that
we're
looking
to
move
forward
prior
to
getting
into
that
I
do
want
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
context
and
talk
and
scale
out
globally
for
just
a
moment
and
talk
about
particularly
one
framing
that
we've
seen
and
so
in
2018.
The
sort
of
the
international
governing
body
that
releases
reports
on
the
status
of
climate
change
put
out
a
report
that
essentially
most
people
read,
is
saying.
AM
And
one
of
the
things
we
have
to
be
careful
about
with
climate
change
is
that
the
the
condition
is
can
is
constantly
changing,
and
so
it's
really
important
that
we
be
thinking
and
planning
and
reviewing
things
iteratively
as
we
move
forward,
and
so
this
this
plan
or
this
this
announcement
I
think
in
in
some
ways.
Unfortunately,
it's
probably
not
aggressive
enough,
so
the
the
things
we're
gonna
talk
about
tonight
may
may
sound
very
aggressive,
but
the
the
level
of
action
that's
required
is
is
quite
stark
and
so
a
couple
other
things
that
we
just
know.
AM
People
probably
have
seen
a
lot
of
these
types
of
slides,
but
historically
the
10
hottest
years
on
record
globally.
Look
at
how
many
of
those
are
even
within
the
last
decade,
and
all
of
them
are
since
2005
2019
being
right
up
there.
A
second
to
2016-
and
so
one
thing
I
want
to
point
out-
is
that
these
numbers
are
averages.
A
lot
of
what
we
have
to
contend
with
with
climate
change
is
that
the
changes
are
different
in
different
times
of
year,
different
times
of
day
in
different
parts
of
the
globe,
and
so
in
Evanson.
AM
We
have
a
specific
set
of
circumstances.
We
have
to
think
about
as
well.
Additionally,
the
number
of
days
where
we've
had
an
extreme
heat
index
since
1979
through
2018
has
increased
by
two.
That
may
not
sound
like
a
lot,
but
it
is
demonstrating
that
the
climate
impacts
that
were
feet
were
feeling
some
of
them
already.
The
globe
is
warming,
we're
seeing
those
trends.
Looking
back,
even
if
you
look
back
at
some
of
the
data
from
1900
to
today,
we've
seen
some
huge
shifts
in
things
like
precipitation
in
temperature
temperature
changes.
AM
Additionally,
the
way
in
which
we
were
going
to
experience,
precipitation
so
rain
and
snow
and
sleet
events
is
going
to
change.
It'll
be
different
in
the
winter
in
the
spring,
then
it
will
be
in
the
summer,
and
so
one
of
the
things
we'll
see
is
it
temperature
temperature
increases
is
we
may
see
a
shift
in
the
winter
precipitation,
so
you
may
have
more
rain
or
sleet
and
and
freezing
saw
conditions
than
were
than
we've
seen.
Historically,
we
know
that
can
be
a
challenge.
AM
We're
also
likely
to
see
more
intense
rain
events,
so
we
may
have
more
periods
of
time
or
a
longer
period
of
time
between
large
storms.
But
when
we
do
have
those
storms
are
likely
to
be
much
more
intense,
which
you
know
our
sort
of
system
is
not
designed
to
handle,
even
though
it
is
a
very,
very
well
set
up
sewer
system.
AM
Additionally,
some
things
we
don't
normally
think
about,
but
with
the
the
average
temperature
increasing,
we
also
see
the
allergy
season
and
the
growing
season
shift
and
change,
and
that's
really
important
for
a
couple
things.
One
be
allergen.
Czar
can
trigger
health
issues
like
triggering
asthma
and
things
like
that,
but
also
because
it
indicates
that
pests
and
other
things
like
that
might
not
necessarily
go
through
the
deep
freeze
and
be
killed
off,
and
so
that
can
certainly
have
an
impact
for
vector
borne
illnesses,
but
also
things
like
invasive
species
and
threats
to
our
natural
natural
habitats.
AM
And
then
again,
thinking
about
temperature,
so
disease
danger
days
is
essentially
just
a
correlation
between
temperature
and
vector
borne
illness
from
things
like
bugs
and
mosquitoes,
and
things
like
that,
and
so
we
know
that
the
warmer
it
is
the
more
days
were
likely
to
have
where
we
have
more
susceptible
risk
to
mosquito-borne
illnesses.
And
things
like
that
so
moving
forward.
AM
I
did
want
to
just
take
one
moment
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
lake,
and
so
we've
we've
been
seeing
these
videos.
People
have
seen
firsthand
talking
a
lot
about
lake
levels,
in
particular
we're
at
as
sort
of
a
historic
high,
but
the
other
thing
that
we're
also
seeing
is
a
warming
of
the
Great
Lakes
overall
and
of
Lake
Michigan
in
particular,
and
so
that
can
have
impacts
on
Fisheries
and
biodiversity,
which
can
impact
water
quality,
which
we
know
can,
in
fact,
recreation
and
access
to
the
beaches.
AM
AM
There's
a
screenshot
from
one
of
the
videos
that
the
Evanston
Police
Department
took
there
I'm
sure
you
all
have
seen
lots
of
these
videos
and
images,
but
it
really
sort
of
brings
home
the
the
impact
locally
and
what
we're
talking
about
and
and
and
what
we're
experiencing
and
feeling
so
the
climate
action
plan
really
has
it
has
dozens
of
goals
in
it,
but
we've
sort
of
broken
it
out
into
did
these
four
big
areas?
The
first
is
the
one
I've
been
talking
about
preparing
Evanson
for
the
impacts
of
the
climate
crisis.
AM
We
have
a
hundred
percent
renewable
energy
goal,
community-wide
zero
waste
by
2050
and
then
carbon
neutrality
by
2050,
and
so
the
policies
I'm
going
to
talk
about
are
gonna
sort
of
line
back
up
with
those
but
before
I
get
into
those
I
do
just
want
to
mention
that
we
have
been
making
a
lot
of
progress
in
terms
of
emissions
reductions,
so
I
want
to
just
say
that
there
is
a
lot
of
great
work.
That's
been
done
that
gree,
the
blue
line
indicates
sort
of
emissions
reductions
that
we
have
achieved.
AM
The
Green
Line
shows
where
we
have
to
go
and
the
the
numbers
on
the
left
hand,
side
are
metric
tons
of
carbon
dioxide
equivalent,
and
so
that's
how
we
measure
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
evanston
annually,
and
so
we
got
a
long
way
to
go
and
we
do
have
to
accelerate
what
we're
doing.
The
this
slide
is
focusing
on
a
sort
of
an
overview
of
some
of
the
very
higher
level
climate
hazards
and
so
again
thinking
back
to
extreme
heat
and
precipitation.
We
do
have
some.
AM
We
were
fortunate
enough
to
have
some
localized
data
that
we
received
through
a
study
in
2017
that
has
helped
us
identify
some
of
these
dominant
climate
hazards
and
we
use
that
in
the
planning
process.
We
also
then
created
a
short
list
that
certainly
you
could
add
to
this,
but
a
list
of
some
of
the
impacts.
So
as
we
look
at
those
hazards,
what
type
of
impact
do
we
think
that
will
have?
AM
And
so
thinking
about
things
like
the
type
of
stress
that
our
infrastructure
will
feel
I
put
some
question
marks
here
around
human
migration,
because
we
know
that
geographically,
and
particularly
because
of
our
more
moderate
climate
and
our
access
to
fresh
water,
that
there
likely
will
be
a
my
human
migration
impact
in
Evanson
and
in
the
Chicago
reven
region,
because
it
is
such
a
desirable
place
to
live,
particularly
as
sea
level
rise
continues
to
increase.
And
you
know
other
places
have
more
extreme
heat
issues.
AM
So
I
want
to
I
want
to
get
into
the
eight
policies
that
that
we're
talking
about
this
evening
and
so
the
first
of
which
is
the
concept
of
phasing
out
the
use
of
single-use
plastics,
and
so
the
plan
has
a
goal
of
getting
to
zero
waste
20:50.
When
we
talk
about
single-use
plastics,
there
are
numerous
sort
of
individual
policies
that
may
be
included
in
that
one
of
them,
maybe
would
be
the
disposable
shopping
bag
ban.
AM
Also
thinking
about
takeout
containers
and
styrofoam,
and
so
those
are
all
sort
of
considered
a
part
of
that
single-use
plastics
and
so
taking.
What
we'd
like
to
do
is
a
comprehensive
approach
so
that,
if
we're
primarily
working
with
retail
establishments
and
businesses
and
restaurants
were
not
bringing
one
or
two
policies
here
and
there
that
may
impact
them,
but
we're
actually
talking
with
them
and
working
through
a
group
of
policies
and
phasing
them
in
effectively.
And
so
that's
that's.
AM
What
number
one
is
focused
on
number
two
is
building
off
of
our
existing
energy
and
water
benchmarking
ordinance,
and
so
that
ordinance
just
requires
it.
Buildings
track
and
report
their
annual
energy
and
water
data,
and
so
this
would
be
moving
to
push
them
to
meet
specific
emissions
reduction
requirements.
We're
gonna
meet
our
2050
goal
and
a
100%
renewable
energy
goal
and
our
energy
consumption
reduction
goals.
AM
There's
a
variety
of
reasons
for
why
that
is
the
case,
but
addressing
this
from
an
access
standpoint
and
thinking
about
everyone
in
Evanson
should
have
equal
access
to
these
services
is
one
way
to
also
help
us
get
to
some
of
those
zero
waste
goals
as
well,
and
so
this
would
be
looking
at
both
commercial
and
residential
accounts.
The
environmental
justice
resolution,
which
has
been
working
its
way
through
the
Environment
board
in
the
equity
in
empowerment,
Commission.
AM
To
the
city,
there's
also
key
pieces
of
that
that
have
been
utilized
in
the
past
to
improve
reliability
of
service
throughout
the
city,
and
so
we
are
looking
at
this
as
an
opportunity
to
open
up
a
conversation
with
our
utility
provider
to
work
to
have
them
more
strongly
support
our
renewable
energy
goals
as
well.
Updating
our
electricity
aggregation
program,
the
city,
has
participated
and
had
an
active
aggregation
program
since
about
2011,
and
so
that
program
has
been
incredibly
effective
at
purchasing
and
supplying
renewable
energy
through
renewable
energy
credits
to
residential
properties.
AM
But
there
are
other
models
of
programs
throughout
the
country
in
other
states
that
have
this
legislation
that
allow
greater
authority
for
cities
to
supply
renewable
energy
and
provide
other
services
to
not
just
residential
accounts.
And
so
it's
time
that
we
take
a
look
at
this
program
and
the
service
and
think
about
how
we
can
improve
it.
AM
Moving
forward
limiting
natural
gas
and
new
buildings,
so
about
40%
of
Evanston's
greenhouse
gas
emissions
come
just
from
burning
natural
gas
in
buildings
in
heaven-sent,
and
so
natural
gas
presents
a
myriad
of
challenges
as
utility
service,
but
also
from
a
health
and
safety
standpoint,
primarily
from
sort
of
curbs
perspective,
though,
is
thinking
about,
even
if
we
get
to
a
hundred
percent
renewable
energy,
meaning
we
are
a
renewable
electricity,
we're
purchasing
solar
and
wind.
That
still
leaves
a
huge
chunk
building
emissions
that
have
not
been
addressed,
and
so
we
need
to
take.
AM
We
need
to
develop
a
strategy
to
work
on,
reducing
and
and
moving
forward
with
reducing
natural
gas
in
new
buildings
and
existing
buildings.
Now
the
last
one
is
creating
guidelines
for
electric
vehicle
charging
infrastructure
in
Evanston,
and
so
we
have
had.
We
have
dozens
of
charging
stations
in
Evanston.
The
city
owns
and
manages
six
of
them,
and
so
we
have
really
excellent
data
on
utilization
related
to
that.
But
we
don't
really
have
policies
guiding
how
someone
accesses
them.
How
turnover
is
supposed
to
happen
so
someone's
squatting
at
a
station?
AM
AM
We've
seen
a
massive
increase
in
participation
in
and
using
our
stations
and
we've
seen
a
huge
jump
in
the
number
of
electric
vehicles
that
are
registered
in
Evanston
in
the
past
few
years,
and
so
it
it's
certainly
time
for
us
to
to
develop
some
policies
and
guidelines
to
to
help
support,
but
also
make
sure
we're
planning
effectively
for
that
new
type
of
infrastructure
that
someone
has
to
maintain
and
manage.
So
those
are
the
policies
that
we're
here
to
talk
about
this
evening.
AM
A
AN
Thank
you,
I'm
interested
more
in
the
timeline.
I
know
you.
This
has
been.
You
know,
awhile
in
progress,
particularly
for
things
like
the
phasing
out
single-use
plastics.
You
know,
I
know
that
there
are
lots
of
communities
that
have
done
that
and
it
seems
like
it
has
gone.
Okay
and
so
I'm
interested
to
see
I
know
you're
talking
about
the
comprehensive.
AN
Other
question
I
have
is
about
the
universal
compact
compost
and
recycling.
So
I
know
you.
You
mentioned
access
which
I
appreciate,
but
I'm
interested,
also
in
any
kind
of
requirement.
So
particularly
now
that
we
have
the
yard
waste
where
you
can
put
in
your
composting,
you
know
it's
hard
to
monitor
that
necessarily,
but
you
know
being
at
those
large
buildings
downtown
and
knowing
that
some
of
them
only
have
the
you
know,
sixty
five
gallon
or
whatever
it
is
containers
for
recycling
and
thinking
about
how
much
paper
is
getting
thrown
out.
AN
Every
day
you
know,
is
there
a
way
that
we
can
actually
make
that
a
mandatory
that
they
have
to
have
a
larger.
You
know
recycling
container,
at
least
for
paper,
to
get
us
started,
and
then
I'm
very
supportive
of
all
of
these
I
mean
some
I
feel
like
are
more
important
in
my
mind
and
others,
and
are
maybe
easier
for
us
to
go
ahead
and
move
forward
with
a
little
bit
faster.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
those
four
but
I'd
be
really
interested
to
look
at
some
kind
of
timeline.
If
you
have
one
right.
AM
We
don't
really
need
a
ton
of
additional
research
to
move
forward
on
that
things.
That
I
think
get
a
little
bit
more
complicated
and
there
needs
to
be
more
of
a
strategy
around
what
the
right
phasing
is
would
be.
How
do
you
deal
with
either
mandating
you
know,
recyclable
or
compostable
takeout
containers,
and
so
one
of
the
challenges
with
mandating
recyclable
or
plastic
takeout
containers?
AM
We
don't
want
to
necessarily
require
a
compostable
recyclable
if
there
aren't
recycling
or
composting
options
for
that
business,
because
then
you're
just
throwing
that
out
as
well
and
so
I.
That's
some
of
the
conversation
that
I
think
still
needs
to
happen,
but
there
are
ample
examples.
We've
done
already
done
a
fair
amount
of
policy
research
on
on
some
of
the
examples
from
other
communities,
and
so
we
feel
pretty
ready
to
have
those
conversations
moving
on
to
the
universal
composting
and
recycling
access
from
a
from
a
commercial
standpoint.
AM
We
have
about
1,200
commercial
garbage
and
recycling
or
garbage
counts
in
Evanston,
and
they
account
for
50
percent
of
all
waste
generated
in
Evanston
and
so
for
T.
We
know
forty
percent
of
them
or
don't
have
a
single
recycling
container
and
so
very
comfortable
requiring
a
certain
level
of
recycling,
particularly
because
at
the
moment,
with
our
current
contract,
which
is
expiring
this
year
for
every
for
a
1-yard
garbage
container
picked
up
once
a
week
versus
a
1-yard
recycling
container
picked
up
once
a
week.
AM
The
recycling
container
is
cheaper,
every
single
time,
and
so
there's
a
cost
incentive
already
built
into
that
contract.
Commercial
counts
are
also
able
to
receive
195
gallon,
which
is
not
enough
for
most
of
them,
but
195
gallon
recycling
container
at
no
cost
and
40%
of
them
are
not
participating
in
that
there's.
Q
Well,
Kumar,
thank
you.
So
much
for
all
the
amazing
work
that
you
managed
to
do.
I
know
you
have
a
couple
of
interns,
maybe
helping
you,
but
it's
you're,
just
accomplishing
an
amazing
amount
for
us
all
and
you've
clearly
thought
through
a
lot
of
the
immediate
next
steps.
We
need
to
take
to
start
implementing
some
more
policies
that
are
going
to
help
us
achieve
our
really
aggressive
our
aggressive
goals.
Q
I
think
the
challenge
is
going
to
come
to
those
of
us
up
here
on
the
Dyess
to
be
willing
to
approve
a
lot
of
the
changes
that
you're
going
to
be
recommending
they're
going
to
be
we're
going
to
be
asking
the
community
to
step
up
and
do
their
part,
and
so
we're
going
to
be
imposing
requirements
and
making
changes,
and
that's
always
difficult
difficult
for
us
to
agree
to
and
then
difficult
for
us
to
communicate
with
the
community.
So
when
you,
when
we
think
back
to
the
initial
slides,
you
showed
us
at
the
big.
Q
We
need
you
to
hold
us
accountable
and
also
I
know.
A
lot
of
you
are
part
of
various
organizations
that
you
can
work
with.
I
think
it's
really
easy
for
people
to
just
get
overwhelmed
with
those
initial
slides
and
just
say:
oh,
you
know
it's
just
hopeless,
but
I
think
if
all
of
us
can
find
an
organization
or
some
kind
of
way
to
get
involved
and
really
feel
that
you're
contributing
to
addressing
this
crisis.
I
think
that
will
energize
all
of
us.
Q
AJ
AJ
Looking
at
this
at
this
list,
I
mean
I.
I
can
take
a
guess,
but
so
I
think
we
need
to
know
that
on
the
council
and
then
to
when
I'm
looking
at
these
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
what
it
is
I
want.
It's
like
what
are
the
first
five
things
that
we
should
do
and
then
we're
almost
like
a
matrix.
So
you
know
what
can
we
do
immediately?
AK
AJ
We
can
do
that,
but
a
number
of
these
things,
as
you
said
we
can
do
immediately
and
with
the
waste
hauling
contract
coming
up
right
away
this
year.
That's
a
fantastic
opportunity
to
do
a
lot
of
this
stuff
and
the
electric
franchise
agreement
coming
up.
So
if
I
don't
want
to
make
you
do
any
extra
work,
but
is
it
possible
for
you
to
give
us
the
council
and
the
public
the
list?
AJ
You
know
in
order
of
what
both
like
what
we
can
do
and
then
the
intense
in
terms
of
how
that
the
greatest
the
impact
that
we'll
get
so
and
I
can
read
all
this
and
gradually
figure
that
out.
But
but
if
you
could
give
us
things
that
will
say
okay,
this
and
that
and
this,
so
that's
that's
one
thing
and
then
in
terms
of
this
is
much
more
specific.
So
this
is
very
helpful.
I've
already
forwarded
it
to
a
number
of
people,
I
know.
AJ
AM
AM
What
you'll
see
is
sort
of
reliability
and
infrastructure
and
benefit
portions
will
be
codified
in
the
franchise
agreement,
and
then
this
partnership
agreement
will
speak
to
other
things,
specifically,
some
other
communities
talk
about
sure
like
Evy
charging,
energy
efficiency,
workforce
programs
working
with
and
supporting
low
income
and
low
income
assistance
programs,
and
so
there's
really
there's
some
really
excellent
examples
that
we
can
draw
from
in
this
process.
So
I
think
there's
there's
a
lot.
We
can
certainly
think
about
and
determine
what
our
priorities
are
for
that
particular
group
of
services.
AM
I
also
just
want
to
make
a
note
that
it
is
really
sort
of
good
timing
that
that
agreement
and
our
aggregation
agreement
are
expiring
in
the
same
year,
because
those
are
both
our
two
largest
sort
of
energy
contracts
related
to
community
energy
and
planning.
So
it
gives
us,
although
I
yeah,
we'll
say
that
so
it
takes
a
lot
of
time.
But
it
does
give
us
this
opportunity
that
have
this
broader
conversation
about
what
it
means
to
what
we
want
our
energy
supply
to
look
like
in.
AK
A
AK
Wondering
what
would
it
take
for
us
to
have
a
plastic
bag
collection
station
on
each
block?
I
find
that
that's
to
me
is
the
most
irritating
thing
you
have
to
collect
all
my
little
plastic
bags
and
drag
them
out
to
jewel
or
Valley
or
wherever,
and
sometimes
you
know,
no
matter
how
dedicated
I
wanted.
I.
AK
Do
but
it's
just
so
you
know
if
we
just
had
a
plastic
bag
collection,
a
big
plastic
bag
collector
in
every
alley,
I'll
just
bet
they
would
get
filled
every
single
day
or
at
least
every
single
week.
I
would
like
you
to
think
about
that.
It
would
be
kind
of
unique.
Second
of
all,
I
have
something
a
little
more
serious,
although
that's
very
serious
one
of
the
problems
with
our
franchise
agreement
with
commented
and
I,
don't
know
where
the
other
franchise
agreements
are
in
the
ComEd
district.
You
know
the.
AD
AK
One
of
the
problems
with
the
big
franchise
which
we're
not
in
is
it
has
a
most
favored
nations
clause
in
it.
So
whatever
we
get,
everybody
else
has
to
get
so
we
can't
like
we
can't
get
charging
stations
from
ComEd
without
everybody
else
getting
that
has
a
franchise
that
ComEd
that's
in
our
eye,
it's
in
our
region
or
that
would
that
that
is
in
a
franchise
that
we
should
be
part
of.
They
allowed
us
to
opt
out
and
I
know.
People
have
been
around
a
while
will
know
that.
AK
So
that's
that's
always
been
a
problem
because
we
could
never
get
anything
special,
even
though
we
are
special
and
we
and
we
had,
we
did
have
a
special
agreement
with
them.
The
short-term
franchises
and,
interestingly,
today
and
I
didn't
read
it,
and
maybe
you
did
Lori
Lightfoot
announced
that
she
might
want
to
buy
their
franchise
out,
which
would
be
interesting
because
if
you
do
that,
then
you
have
to
buy
the
poles
and
the
wires.
You.
AK
AK
A
C
Sort
of
give
this
overview
tonight,
because
a
lot
of
the
policies
that
we're
going
to
need
to
enact
if
we're
going
to
meet
the
goals
of
this
plan,
we're
going
to
need
to
do
a
semi
aggressively
so
part
of
that
as
a
process
of
educating
the
community
about.
Why
we're
doing
it,
and
then
part
of
it
is
actually
figuring
out
the
sequencing
of
all
of
these
things
and
then,
like
all
Durham
Fleming
was
talking
about
what
what
can
we
do?
First,
what
can
we
do
second,
and
how?
C
How
quickly
can
we
move
forward
on
many
of
these?
These
plans
so
I'm,
very
encouraged
by
the
discussion
tonight.
Kumar
and
I
will
go
back
and
discuss
some
more
based
on
the
feedback
we've
received.
I
also
wanted
to
mention
that
Brittany
churro
is
here
tonight
and
I
would
like
for
her
to
stand
up
and
be
recognized
for
her
assistance
on
this
as
well.
She
is
our
AmeriCorps
fellow
and
she
is
working
with.
C
A
Great
so,
in
terms
of
more
to
come
again,
this
was
a
presentation
of
everything
we
got
feedback
from
the
council.
The
more
to
come
will
actually
be.
You
know,
ordinances
coming
before
us.
Okay,
sorry,
terrific,
all
right!
Thank
you!
Everybody
for
coming
out.
The
next
item
of
business
is
sp3.
This
is
our
last
one
before
we
get
to
the
consent
agenda,
and
this
is
on
the
city
manager,
recruitment
schedule.
So
is
there
a
motion
to
move
this
item?
A
second
okay,
so
this
items
now
up
for
discussion
we
have
with
us.
A
AO
You
thank
you
well,
thank
you
for
having
me
mayor,
Haggerty
and
members
of
the
City
Council
you
have
before
you
a
proposed
schedule.
It
starts
really
in
a
couple
of
weeks
with
stakeholder
meetings
and
in
individual
meetings
with
each
of
you
to
learn
what
you
would
be
seeking
in
the
next
city
manager.
I
work
with
your
designee
to
set
up
those
meetings
and
make
sure
that
the
community
is
fully
aware
of
them
and
able
to
participate.
AO
We
also
suggest
a
survey
be
available
so
that
if
people
are
unable
to
attend
the
meeting
but
would
like
to
comment,
they
wouldn't
be
able
to
complete
a
survey.
And,
finally,
a
method
is
a
dedicated
email
that
would
come
to
our
offices.
So
if
folks
had
other
comments
that
maybe
weren't
covered
by
the
survey
or
they
were
unable
to
attend
one
of
the
meetings,
they
would
be
able
to
contact
us
that
way
and,
of
course
we
would
always
also
be
available
by
telephone.
AO
So
there's
many
ways
for
input
into
the
process
and
we
would
propose
I
would
propose
starting
that
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
We
want
to
be
sure
we
give
people
enough
time
to
be
available
for
the
meetings
and,
of
course,
we
have
to
find
locations
and
that
sort
of
thing.
So
you
know
it
could
be
the
end
of
that
week
or
the
following
week
after
that.
A
Heidi
can
I
just
stop
you
there
because
I
think
that's
a
really
important
piece
of
this
and
I
just
want
to
open
this
up
to
the
council.
So
what
you're?
What
you're
saying
is
sort
of
the
the
initial
period
is
gathering
all
of
this
feedback.
You're
gonna.
Do
that
with
two
public
meetings
that
you
guys
you
all
would
facilitate
if
I'm
reading
this
right
to
public
evening
meetings,
correct.
Q
A
With
one-on-one
meetings
with
each
of
the
elected
officials
up
here
and
then
with
focus
groups
with
representatives
from
business,
community
faith,
community
nonprofit
service
communities-
all
of
that
additionally,
there
would
be
a
survey
that
we
would
have
out
there
to
collect
input
so
I
just
don't
want
to
open
it
up.
I
think!
That's
just
a
really
important
point:
it's
something
we've
heard
from
the
public.
How
are
we
going
to
be
involved
and
just
get
feedback
from
the
council
members
on
that
alternate
flemming.
AN
AO
AN
So
I
think
that
that
would
be
something
that
I
would
highly
recommend.
We've
heard
a
lot
from
our
community.
We
have
some
issues
already
in
our
service,
not
being
in
Spanish.
So
at
the
meetings
or
a
separate
meeting
that
is
in
Spanish,
particularly
if
you're
going
to
have
a
survey
that
that
would
also
be
in
Spanish
that
people
can
they
don't
come
to
meeting,
can
communicate
their
thoughts.
I
think
we
have
a
growing
spanish-speaking
population,
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
also
who
would
be
selecting
or
identifying
the
stakeholders.
That's.
AO
Really
up
to
the
City
Council,
the
I
suggested
some
broad
groups,
but
it's
really
the
City
Council's
decision
with
respect
and
I
think
what
we're
what
I'm
suggesting
and
what
I've
seen
work
well
in
the
past
is
specific
invitations
to
different
organizations
in
the
community
that
might
like
to
attend
a
meeting
or
a
focus
group.
Specifically,
you
know
available
to
them.
We
found
in
the
past
that
if
you
just
have
open
meetings,
some
you
get,
some
people
do
attend
and
I
know.
AO
You
know
those
can
occur
during
the
day
for
if
it
works
for
some
folks,
like
some
of
the
local
school
districts,
or
you
know
the
business
community
that
may
work
better
for
them
and
then
the
evening
meetings
could
be
more
open
so
that
anybody
who
wants
to
can
attend
and
and
participate
at
that
point
in
time.
Ok,.
AN
Who
we
see
participate
here,
particularly
your
who
come
the
City
Council.
You
know
who
I've
been
watching
this
process.
You
know
there's
just
a
lot
of
people
that
I
would
be
concerned
that
people
will
be
left
out
if
we
kind
of
stick
to
kind
of
these
traditional
identities
that
you
have
here
and
I
know.
These
are
just
an
example
that
you
gave,
but
I
want
to
be
very
mindful
of
that
as
well.
A
AN
I,
don't
you
know
some
of
those
people
are
probably
going
to
come
to
public
meeting
I,
just
think
if
we
you,
if
you
have
here,
which
I
again
understanding
that
you
have
laid
out
here
very
traditional
groups,
but
this
is
a
community
of
people
of
lots
of
involved
people
and
so
to
say
that
you
know
Joe
Blow
needs
to
go
to
the
public
community
meeting
which
anybody
can
go
to
the
public
meetings.
But
you
know
Joe
Blow
then,
and
his
whatever
group
he
represents,
doesn't
have
an
invitation
for
a
focus
group.
AN
AK
Just
going
to
suggest
that
we
have
a
responsibility
to
bring
in
people
to
this,
and
we
all
have
newsletters
and
you
know
email
addresses
we
can
let
people
know
this
is
happening.
It
seems
to
me
that
when
something
big
or
controversial
is
going
on
we're
able
to
generate
a
crowd,
so
I'm
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
do
this.
Yeah
Thank.
G
A
AP
AP
AP

AP
AP
Gonna
be
a
concern
that
there's
a
lack
of
transparency,
no
matter
how
transparent
we
are
Nick.
I'm.
Sorry
to
do
this
to
you.
Man
is
that
some
aggression
about
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act
and
whether
it's
your
understanding
that
their
communications
on
behalf
of
the
see
that
one's
ever
be
subject
to
disclosure
under
FOIA.
F
F
G
AO
If
I,
could
our
communications
with
candidates
are
pretty
benign?
It's
you
know
we're
we're
conducting
a
recruitment
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Evanston
attached
as
the
recruitment
brochure.
Please
contact
us.
If
you
have
any
questions
they
apply,
we
contact
them
again
and
say
you
know
we
were
impressed
with
your
credentials.
We'd
like
to
set
up
an
opportunity
to.
You
know,
learn
more
about
your
background
that
that
type
of
thing
or
they're
not.
AK
AK
AQ
A
AO
Concurrently
with
that
we'll
be
developing
the
recruitment
brochure.
Also
for
your
approval,
as
is
the
position
announcement
in
that
recruitment
brochure,
is
usually
a
four
to
six
page
document
with
color
pictures
showcasing
Evanston,
but
also
talking
about
the
community.
Talking
about
the
challenges
that
you've
all
identified,
things
that
we've
heard
about
in
the
focus
groups
and
in
the
public
meetings
all
synthesized
into
this
document
that
we
can
then
share
with
potential
candidates,
and
we
do
that
in
a
variety
of
ways.
AO
We
do
subscribe
to
subscribe
to
a
database
of
city
managers
across
the
country
so
that
we're
able
to-
and
we
can
parse
that
data,
so
we
can
zero
in
on
the
people
in
the
types
of
communities
and
the
size
and
the
complexity
similar
to
Evanston
that
might
be
interested
in
the
oppor
tunity.
We
also
do
personal
outreach.
AO
We
work
in
32
different
states,
we
have
consultants
all
over
the
country,
so
we
have
the
opportunity
to
reach
out
personally
the
folks
that
we
think
might
be
interested,
and
then
we
do
when
we
do
the
email
blasts
and
then
the
constant
social
media
pushes
to
make
sure
that
people
are
aware
of
the
opportunity.
So
that's
kind
of
the
outreach
portion
and
wanting
to
make
sure
that
folks
are
aware
that
this
position
is
available.
I've
already
had
calls
on
it
and
already
had
folks
expressing
interest.
AO
We
do
social
media
reviews,
we
do
reference,
calls
and
make
sure
that
we
know
as
much
about
each
candidates
background
as
possible
so
that
when
I
sit
down
to
meet
with
you
and
go
over
the
recruitment
report,
I
can
give
you
a
full
of
a
background
about
each
of
the
candidates,
as
as
information
is
available,
and
then
you
all
decide
who
you
want
to
interview,
we
facilitate
the
interviews
and
then
go
through
the
interview
process.
So
that's
very
quick
overview.
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank.
G
AO
G
AH
G
AR
AN
AO
AN
I
think,
if
you
can
compile
it,
I
mean
I,
know.
I
would
be
interested
in
and
I
think.
That
might
be
something
that
also
our
citizen
base
will
be
interested,
not
that
it.
You
know
it's
gonna
impact
their
role
in
this
in
this
process,
but
just
so
people
really
have
an
understanding
of
the
amount
of
heart
reach,
we're
doing
in
the
amount
of
information
we're
gathering
and
then
that
that
is
actually
being
translated
in
some
way
in.
AC
AN
Way
into
the
job
description
and
the
person
we're
looking
for,
obviously,
everything
someone
brings
up
is
not
going
to
translate
into
something.
That's
in
the
job
description,
but
I
think
it's
very
important
that
people
understand
that
you
know
you
are
collecting
the
feedback
and
that
we
are
receiving
it
and
that
it
is
being
used
in
a
way,
hopefully
to
find
the
best
candidate
yeah.
AO
AN
AN
AO
A
AR
Recognize
your
concern
about
transparency
in
the
process
as
HR
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
integrity
of
the
process
and
the
confidentiality
of
the
process,
so
I
believe
that
if
we
are
requiring
that
or
at
least
requesting
that
gov
HR
make
the
applications
public
and
if
you're
wanting
to
discuss
this
information
in
public,
it's
going
to
be
very
important
to
have
a
disclaimer
at
the
posting
period.
That
applicants
should
understand
that
their
applications
are
going
to
be
made
publicly
available.
AR
I
think
that
disclaimer
would
severely
discourage
some
folks
to
apply
just
like
alderman
Rainey
was
talking
about.
Some
of
these
folks
are
applying
their
employers.
Don't
know
that
they're
applying.
So
if
something
happens,
if
y'all
are
discussing
it
in
open
session,
if
y'all
are
discussing
it,
if
the
media
gets
wind
of
who's
applied,
this
could
significantly
affect
their
current
employment.
That
could
increase
the
city's
liability
for
tortious
interference
with
contract
and
other
types
of
things.
AR
A
AP
I
mean
I
appreciate
that
aye.
So
how
do
we
what's
the
balance
right
if
there's
no
point
in
having
impeccably,
credentialed
candidates
who
gets
haven't
sinned
and
then
see
the
people
who
live
in
the
city
that
they're
going
to
be
managing
and
realize
this
is
not
an
environment
in
which
I
can
do
my
job.
So
how
do
we
make
it
clear
from
the
start
that
this
isn't
just
a
best
resume
contest?
They
were
actually
looking
for
someone
who
can
manage
the
city
and
residents
that
live
here.
AP
AR
That's
what
y'all's
goal
is
right,
so
y'all
have
been
elected
by
your
constituents
to
best
represent
their
needs.
So
during
the
focus
groups
during
these
community
meetings,
these
residents
will
come
in
and
share
with
the
city
and
share
with
all
of
you
what
they
want
in
their
next
city
manager
and
then
it's
ultimately
up
to
y'all
to
decide
who
the
best
qualified
candidate
is
so
publicly
releasing
that
information
won't
necessarily
garner
you,
the
best
candidate.
AR
It
is
y'all
using
your
best
expertise,
your
interests,
your
constituents,
concerns
and
issues
and
using
those
to
the
best
of
your
abilities
to
select
from
the
greatest
pool
of
candidates
to
decide
who's
going
to
be
the
next
city
manager.
So
I
think
that's
what
y'all
are
here
for
that's
what
y'all
been
elected
to
do
and
I
think
that
the
process,
if
done
confidentially,
if
caught
it
done
with
integrity,
will
result
in
a
great
candidate
I.
Think
confidentiality
has
been
an
issue
with
city
council
and
with
the
city
over
the
last
several
months.
AR
So
I'm
really
concerned
that
the
confidentiality
of
these
applicants
won't
be
breached.
It's
very
important
that
we
maintain
as
HR
a
good
reputation
for
that
type
of
process,
so
I
respect,
Heidi
and
the
work
that
she
does.
I
think
that
if
we
do
it
right,
we
will
have
the
next
greatest
candidate
and
the
next
greatest
city
manager.
AP
Yeah,
do
you
or
how
do
you
think
that
it
would
be
independent
impediment
to
getting
the
best
possible
candidates
to
have
a
public
meeting
at
when
we
get
down
to
three
finalists
or
when
we're
down
to
a
point?
Where
I
mean
other
committees
have
done,
that
we're
perspective
and
when
I
get
to
the
bottom
of
the
funnel,
like
those
people
would
have
to
meet
with
the
public?
Is
that.
Z
AP
Light
you
know
I
mean
right
now,
we're
not
talking
about
people
we're
just
talking
about
like
a
composite
wish
list
of
traits.
When
do
we
need
to
not,
and
we
presume
that
anybody
who's
applying
has
some
job
right
now
and
like
may
have
varying
degrees
of
their
current
employer,
understanding
that
they're
looking
for
other
job.
But
when
do
we?
How
do
we
balance
like
the
public's
interest
in
knowing
this
is
a
little
most
important,
there's
more
important
than
any
of
us
up
here.
This
person
actually
runs
the
city.
AO
I
think
that's
what
we
were
trying
to
do
by
saying
three
finalists
or
I.
Don't
know
if
it's
three
years,
it's
four!
If
it's
two
I'm,
not
sure
what
that
number
is
it'll,
be
up
to
you
all
to
decide.
You
know
who
you
want
to
put
forward
for
a
public
forum
but
I
think
that's
the
balance,
we're
trying
to
strike,
because
I
know
from
previous
experience
that
if
you
have
seven
people,
you
were
definitely
going
to
have
people
qualified
people
drop
out
because
they're
thinking,
okay,
my
chances
are
one
in
seven.
AO
AP
G
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
and
thank
you
very
much
all
of
them
suffered
in
for
sharing
your
thoughts
and
so
I
see
our
responsibility.
Our
collective
responsibility
here
to
hire
the
right
city,
man
or
something
we
all
take
very
seriously,
and
so
my
specific
thought,
just
regarding
the
issue
that
all
of
them
suffering
raised
is
I'm
sure
you
and
all
of
us
behind
this
dais
at
one
point,
has
interviewed
for
a
position
and
so
I
realized
that
the
position
of
a
city
manager
and
any
other
public
employee
here
we're
responsible
for
the
public.
G
G
I've
interviewed
I've
been
a
person
to
be
interviewed
in
I
think
just
as
a
matter
of
privacy
until
they
get
to
the
finals
position
and
we've
been
to
that
position
with
our
city
manager,
our
former
city
manager,
that
when
he
got
to
a
final
position,
he
out
of
a
courtesy
mentioned
to
us
that
hey
I
am
applying
for
that
position
and
I
am
fine
with
that
process
and
I've
already
opened
the
door.
You
know
we
started
talking
about
this
process
at
my
last
war
meeting,
I'll
continue
to
and
I
encourage
you
to
do
the
same.
G
All
of
them
suffered
and
reach
out
to
your
residents
and
ask
them
what's
employed
what's
important,
but
if
any
my
residents
want
to
know
like
the
250
resumes
that
are
coming
in
or,
however
many
I
think
that's
a
waste
of
my
time
as
well
as
yours.
So
I
just
feel
that
it's
important
that
I
state
that
right.
AO
The
outset
that
even
you
know
that
their
application
could
be
public,
but
we
don't
have
to
do
that.
It
gives
you
it
gives
you
an
advantage
in
recruitment
in
recruiting
and
what
is
a
difficult,
recruiting
environment
right
now,
so
I
would
I
would
take
that
advantage
to.
You
know,
maintain
the
confidentiality
of
the
applications.
AO
It's
just
it's
a
full-employment
economy
which
always
makes
it
more
challenging
in
the
public
sector,
but
the
sheer
numbers
of
you
know
the
boomer
generation
is
retiring
at
a
quick
pace
and
the
generation
that
is
coming
up
that
cohort.
That's
probably
the
most
well
qualified
for
this
position,
is
you
know
about
1/3,
smaller,
so
they're
just
are
not
enough
people
with
the
years
and
the
time
in
as
the
generation
ahead
of
them,
so
we're
seeing
difficulties
in
finding
talent.
For
you
know,
positions
across
the
board,
I
mean
that's.
A
AO
A
A
And
just
so,
I
just
want
I
guess
I'd
make
one
one
point
clear.
So
when
we
talk
about
you
working
with
our
staff,
that
is
with
our
HR
director,
Jen
Jennifer,
Lynn
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
all
clear,
because
to
my
right
is
our
acting
or
in
term
city
manager
and
she'll
have
to
decide.
If
this
is
a
job
she
wants
to
apply
for
or
not
so
she
will
not
be
involved
in
those
conversations
that
we're
having
as
a
council
and.
A
Okay,
great
thank
you
and
so
Heidi.
We
don't
you
don't
need
to
stick
around
we're
not
gonna.
Have
you
at
executive
session
tonight
so
get
a
good
night's
sleep
all
right!
We're
going
to
now
move
on
to
the
consent
agenda
so
we'll
follow
the
process
we've
been
following
this
year,
which
is
I'm
going
to
give
everybody
a
couple
minutes
to
look
at
the
consent
agenda,
and
let
me
know
what
you'd
like
to
remove
from
the
consent
agenda.
So
we
can
discuss
it.
A
AH
A
Sorry,
it
was
p3.
Well
again,
we've
now
done
at
two
different
ways.
So
what
we
did,
what
we
were
doing
at
one
point
was
removing
or
basically
taking
a
vote
on
all
items
where
items
were
being
suspended
and
allowing
for
introduction
in
action.
If
it's
only
one
item,
we
can
just
take
it
off
and
and
do
the
vote,
I
think.
A
AQ
A
We
did
that
by
voice
vote
yeah,
so
Wyndham
Braithwaite
were
absent
from
that
vote.
Unless
you
two
were
you
both
voting
in
favor
of
it?
Okay,
let
the
alright
let
the
record
show
that
consent
agenda
pass
this
on
an
eight
to
eight
to
zero
vote.
Okay,
we're
now
going
to
move
to
the
items
that
removed
from
the
agenda
alderman
suffering.
Could
you
take
us
to
the
first
one
which
I
think
was
a
sixteen
or
excuse
me?
A
oh
I'm,
sorry!
Yes,
you
should
be
my
mistake:
alderman
Rainey,
a
sixteen
alderman
Rainey.
AK
AQ
AP
D
AP
We
held
it
September
14th
after
we
had
to
holy
God
brands
of
parking
study.
A
A
A
second
this,
your
a
second
okay,
all
right.
This
item
is
open
for
conversation,
alderman
Wilson
thank.
AQ
You
I've
heard
from
a
number
of
people
in
the
community
about
the
I
guess
the
it's
being
referred
to
as
a
zero
tolerance
provision
and
honestly
that's
the
way
it's
written.
So
the
way
it's
written
says
any
accumulation
of
snow
or
ice
has
to
be
removed.
You
know
and
honestly
I
don't
know
anybody
in
the
city
who
gets
all
of
the
snow
and
ice
off
the
sidewalks,
but
with
100%
certainty,
so
I'm
also
uncomfortable
with
the
amount
of
the
fee
structure,
but
I
would
be
also
interested
in
hearing
this
wasn't
brought
up
before.
AQ
But
hearing
from
our
legal
department
on
the
Illinois
generally
has
a
proposition
that
home
property
owners
are
not
responsible
for
natural
accumulations
of
ice
and
snow,
but
there
was
a
recent
opinion.
I
noticed
in
June
of
2019,
which
I'd
be
happy
to
give
to
you,
but
the
appellate
court
maybe
changed
that
a
little
bit
but
I'm
interested
to
know
how
our
change
in
this
ordinance
and
this
kind
of
zero
tolerance
provision
might
create
additional
liabilities
for
property
owners.
Q
Have
I
guess:
I
have
a
couple
comments
and
then
I
also
have
an
amendment
to
propose.
I
too
have
heard
concerns
from
residents
about.
You
know
the
zero
tolerance
aspect
of
it
and
I
guess
I
was
wondering
in
terms
of
our
enforcement
plans,
were
we,
for
example,
going
to
prioritize
enforcement
in
the
business
district
because
that's
particularly
where
I
think
we've
had
a
number
of
concerns
raised,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
really
big
change
for
our
residents
to
be
required
to
within
24
hours,
immediately
remove
all
the
snow
and
ice.
Q
So
I
was
wondering
what
kind
of
a
grace
period
we're
going
to
have
with
our
residents
so
that
they
would
have
a
chance
to
get
used
to
the
new
ordinance.
If
we
approve
it
tonight,
we
currently
provide
a
Notice
of
Violation
and
give
residents
yet
another
24
hours
to
take
care
of
the
snow
and
ice
so
I
anyway.
I
just
I'd,
be
interested
in
I'd
feel
more
comfortable.
If
I
knew
what
kind
of
I.
AL
Good
evening
Johanna
Leonard
communal
director
in
terms
of
prioritization,
we
respond
to
complaints
first,
so
we
complaints
through
three
on
one
and
those
we
were
just
talk
about
this
morning.
We
generally
try
to
accept
those
after
24
hours
after
the
snowfall
to
give
people
the
time
it
takes
to
remove
the
snow.
So
I
think
I
mention
this
last
time,
but
the
way
we
operate
in
our
enforcement
is
we
get
the
complaint
we
go
out.
AL
It
probably
is
not
a
full,
it's
probably
more
than
24
hours
after
the
snowfall,
because
it's
not
like
we're
ready
to
go
right
at
that
marker
go
out
visit
the
site.
At
that
point,
we
would
issue
a
Notice
of
Violation
that
this
is
not
a
ticket.
It
just
says
here
the
here's,
the
code,
here's
the
penalty,
if
you
are
found
liable
to
have
violated
the
code
and
you
need
to
remove
the
snow
and
and
our
new
and
improved
snow
tiss
includes
information
about
how
to
remedy
your
sidewalks.
AL
If
you
don't
have
the
ability
to
do
that,
so
our
volunteer
opportunities
and
other
things
so
that's
out
there,
then
they
have
another
24
hours
to
cure
and
again
our
staff
will
try
to
go
out
within
that
time.
But
if
we
have
I
think
one
of
the
snow
falls
in
January,
we
had
something
like
150
complaints,
so
we
can't
get
to
all
those
at
exactly
24
hours.
So
it's
it's
probably
more
than
48
hours.
AL
Now
after
the
end
of
the
snow
event,
and
then
at
that
point,
if
they
return
again
after
the
24
hours
from
this
from
the
snow
issue
of
violation,
then
then
we
could
ticket.
But
even
then
that's
not
it's
not
like
a
parking
ticket.
You'd
have
to
there's
a
date
set
in
the
future
for
administrative,
an
administrative
hearing
and
then
you
could
be
found
liable,
but
as
I've
learned
from
the
inspectors,
if
you,
if
people
have
made
an
attempt,
sometimes
the
ice
is
hardened
and
they've.
You
know
it's
not
the
zero
tolerance
of.
AL
If
you
have
one
speck
of
ice-
or
you
know
a
few
corners
of
snow
left,
if
you've
made
attempts,
the
the
hearing
officers
are
generally
forgiving
and
and
may
not
find
you
if
you
cannot
really
cannot
remove
it.
But
in
terms
of
you
know,
prioritization
commercial/residential,
you're,
absolutely
right.
We
have
many
commercial
businesses,
but
we
generally
are
economical
on
the
team
knows
who
is
in
violation
of
those,
and
we
usually
know
who
to
go.
Our
business
districts
have
been
great
about
help.
AL
Help
me
identify,
so
we
can
see
if
there's
a
certain
landlord
that
has
an
issue
and
then
and
then
the
multifamily
properties
are
generally
pretty
good.
But
what
we
found
is
many,
the
single-family
residential
the
inspectors
go
out.
They
see
that
somebody
has
made
some
effort
to
clear
they've
cleared
their
stairs.
They've
cleared
their
stairs
to
their
driveway.
AL
There's
there's
probably
a
handful
of
people
who
are
greater
offenders,
then
then
the
rest,
some
and
we
recognize
that
some
people
do
go
out
of
town
in
winter
and
maybe
they
haven't
made
the
arrangement
of
their
arrangement
to
remove
snow
may
have
fallen
through,
but
that's
that
sometimes
happens
so
in
terms
of
a
grace
period.
Maybe
it
won't
snow
again,
it
will
have
a
nice
spring
and
it'll
take
it'll.
Take
a
couple.
You
know
some
time
to
get
all
the
the
ordinance
if
it
is
adopted,
signed
and
then
I
think.
AL
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
messaging
and
our
with
community
engagement,
we
will
probably
have
to
be.
You
know
a
built
in
grace
period
just
to
getting
the
information
out
there,
but
we
have
been
circulating
the
door
hangers
and
we
printed
new
door
hangers
for
we're
gonna
put
them
in
the
community
center,
so
people
can
pick
them
up
if
they'd
like
to
use
them
to
hang
on
their
neighbors
doors
and
we're
also
making
it
available
online.
AL
G
Braithwaite,
thank
you
mr.
mee
I
guess
I
would
say
to
members
of
council
like
that.
You
addressed
to
my
concerns
number
one
is
making
sure
that
we're
focused
on
our
business
districts
and
I
think
you've
satisfied
that
at
number
two
you've
also
come
back
with
a
reduced
fee
structure.
So
on
page
230
she's
laid
it
out
pretty
well
that
there
you've
heard
the
concern
and
you've
reduced
the
free
structure
from
150
to
50,
from
400
to
200,
from
450
to
750.
AN
AL
Alderman
Ravel
and
I
had
a
similar
conversation
earlier
today,
so
I
think
she
had
some
amendments
to
address
it,
but
there
in
most
intersections
that
haven't
sin
we
do
have
accessible
ramps
but
as
I
think
you're
thinking
and
alderman
Ravel
thought
we
have
some
locations
that
do
not
have
the
accessible
ramp
just
yet
so
I
think
all
the
Merville
was
going
to
make
a
amendment
to
the
ordinance
to
include
sidewalks
that
terminate
into
the
street
intersect
to
the
intersection
to
address
that
piece
of
of
the
snow
removal.
All.
AN
AN
So
here
my
concerns
with
that,
because
I
live
near
a
corner
and
I
have
a
gentleman
who
goes
out.
You
know
5:00
in
the
morning
with
his
snowblower,
you
know
religiously,
and
he
leaves
for
work
and
by
the
time
the
kids
go
to
school.
If
we're
in
a
good
day
in
the
snow
pot
has
come,
there
is
a
mountain
of
snow
at
the
corner
and
the
sidewalk
around
his
house
is
clear
and
I
know
that
he's
cleared
that
walk
when
he
gets
home.
AN
If
it's
cold,
it
is
a
block
of
ice
that
he
is
not
going
out
there.
You
know
to
remove
or
can't
remove
so
I
have
concerns
about
people
like
that.
I
know
understand.
You
said
our
inspectors,
maybe
would
give
him
a
pass
or
whatever,
but
this
would
be
something
that
they
would
see
on
his
corner
all
the
time,
because
it
happens
every
time
it
snows
and
he
has
a
job
to
go
to
so.
I
have
lots
of
concerns
about
that.
I
also
am
not
really
sure
how
we
work
with
our
seniors.
AN
I
know
we
have
the
volunteer
she's
no
shovel
program.
I
can
tell
you
on
my
block
where
there
are
seniors.
I
can
tell
you
where
the
senior
has
someone
who
shovels
and
where
the
senior
does
not
have
someone
who
shovels
and
I
will.
You
know
have
a
hard
time
supporting
that
singer,
then
getting
a
notice-
and
you
know
you
chose
fifty
dollars
because
you're
essentially
you
know
not
in
good
physical
shape
to
go
out
and
shovel
your
walk
away.
AN
Nor
do
you
have
you
know
someone
else
to
do
that
for
you,
my
other
concern
has
to
do
with
with
miss
Payton
brought
up,
which
I
think
on
here
is
maybe
the
carriage
walk.
So
when
I
shovel
my
walk,
which
I'm
out
there
with
my
neighbor
the
time
between
the
street
and
the
sidewalk
I,
do
that
part
because
I
use
it
and
then
by
time
I
come
back.
AN
AN
Carlos
was
saying,
you
know,
am
I
gonna,
then
get
a
ticket
because
I've
done
everything
else,
but
then
this
pile
of
snow
is,
you
know
back
out
on
the
curb
the
carriage
walk
area
because
of
the
snow,
plow
and,
and
so
I
understand
that
you
know
we're
trying
to
get
to
compliance
and
I
also
want
compliance,
but
I
also
think
we
have
to
one
as
a
city.
Do
our
part
to
make
sure
we're
not
hindering
some
of
the
ability
to
comply.
AN
AN
They
are
going
to
call
you
every
time
it
snows
and
this
person
is
twenty
five
hours
in
and
you're
going
to
be
going
out
there
and
then
I'm
gonna
be
hearing
from
you
know
the
one
neighbor
saying
how
come
the
city
was
targeted
me
about
this
snow,
so
I
know
you
and
I
have
talked
about
this
I
think
awesome
I
think.
Unfortunately,
people
use
it
as
a
way
to
punish
people
in
their
block
that
they
don't
like
and
so
I'm
concerned.
AL
So
I'm
gonna
start
with
corners
work.
Our
way
down
in
terms
of
corners,
I,
think
manukan
to
the
snow,
and
it's
become
a
block
of
ice.
You
can't
get
to
the
snow
no,
but
nobody
can
get
to
the
snow.
Maybe
even
city
staff
couldn't
get
to
the
snow.
If
it's,
if
it's
a
full
block
of
ice,
we
don't
have
magic
shovels.
So
my
hope
is
that
we
recognize
that
winter
and
sidewalk
removal
and
snow
and
ice
clearance
is
a
maintenance
activity.
AL
So
we
could
try
to
have
an
intervention
before
we
get
to
the
point
where
an
inspectors
writing
a
ticket
or
a
Notice
of
Violation
or
followed
by
that
301
that
we
can
you
try
to
provide
assistance
in
the
in
the
front
end
and
then
in
terms
of
carriage
walks.
It
was
an
additional
item
that
was
added
into
the
code.
It's
certainly
a
policy
decision.
AL
If
we
don't
want
to
try
to
include
that
that
can
be
stricken
and
then
301
I
understand
where
we
sometimes
get
put
in
the
middle
of
the
feuds
between
different
neighbors
and
their
frustrations.
But
I
tried
to
train
our
inspectors
to
go
forth
and
enforce
the
code
and
do
what
they
can
and
if
there's
greater
social
service
needs.
We
we
have
those
resources
here
if
we
try
to
refer
them.
If
that
becomes
an
issue,
but
I
I
mean
we
could
we
will
continue
to
talk
about
how
for
you
and
one
gets
used
in
that
way.
AQ
Wilson,
okay
and
I
appreciate
all
of
the
policy
intentions,
and
you
know
accommodations
that
are,
but
none
of
that's
in
the
ordinance
like
zero.
It
is
in
the
ordinance.
So
if
we're
gonna
pass
a
law,
the
law
has
to
be
and
I
hear,
you're
saying
we're
not
gonna,
be
overly
harsh
in
everything,
except
for
that's
not
what
it
says,
and
you
know
if
you
and
three
other
people
apply
for
different
jobs,
and
somebody
else
takes
the
job
and
they're
like
I
hate,
snow
I'm,
going
to
like
anybody
else
who
looks
at
this.
AQ
This
is
the
law
or
to
almond
Fleming's
point.
If
a
neighbor
has
a
issue
with
a
neighbor,
whether
it's
legitimate
or
not,
they
can
just
keep
calling
and
if
there's
a
handicapped
person
doesn't
matter,
it's
too
bad.
The
law
says
this:
if
it's
not
counted
for
this,
so
I
don't
see
how
we
can
possibly
support
this.
It's
just
it's
really
what's
drafted
as
far
as
the
law
is
concerned
is
really
really
harsh
and
it
doesn't
take
any
of
these
things
into
account.
So
I
think
it's
if
it
can't
be
uniformly
applied
as
it's
written
I.
AQ
Don't
think
we
should
be
passing
something
that
can't
be
uniformly
applied
and
I
just
you
know.
I
I
like
to
think
that
were
the
kind
of
community
that
works
together,
but
we've
had
some
problems
and
those
are
legitimate
problems,
particularly
with
the
downtown,
but
the
ordinance
isn't
a
downtown
sidewalk
ordinance.
It's
it's
a
whole
city.
It's
every
single
person.
You
know,
I
live
in
a
corner,
yeah
Wow
comes
by
I've
got
a
driveway.
I've
got
two
of
those
little
ramp
things
and
it's
really
hard
work.
AQ
I
get
up
really
early
and
when
I
come
home,
I
got
the
great
big
pile
of
snow.
So
I
I
hear
you
I'm
getting
old,
my
back
hurts
so
it's
it's,
it's
not
easy,
and
but
at
the
same
time
I'm
lucky
to
be,
you
know,
is
able
to
as
I
am
so
not.
Everybody
is
in
that
same
situation,
so
I'm
really
uncomfortable
with
this
and
I.
Don't
I
can't
support
the
way
it
is.
Thank
you.
C
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
apply
in
a
little
bit
on.
You
know.
We
we
have
this,
it's
this
intersection
of
of
what
what
to
do
next.
So
what
we
currently
have.
It
doesn't
really
work,
but
it's
there
and
what
we're
proposing
sounds
like
it's,
not
what
everybody's
looking
for,
but
we
need
to
figure
out
if
there's
a
happy
medium
that
strikes
the
right
balance
or
if
we
just
need
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
start
over
so
I'm
just
interested
to
hear
some
feedback
on
whether
or
not
you
think
we
should.
C
Every
corner
in
the
city
gets,
you
know
this
shut,
this
no
plot
away
from
it
or
shove,
all
the
way
from
it
or
cleared.
What
have
you
so
I
think
you
know
the
reality
is
the
very
limited
stuff
that
we
have.
You
know
we
could
have
a
report
annually
or
quarterly
or
monthly
during
snowstorm
season,
of
how
many
tickets
we
actually
issue
I
mean
I'm.
Gathering
from
you
know
my
conversations
with
staff
that
that
that
number
would
be
20
or
less
so
we're
spending
a
lot
of
time.
C
Talking
about
what
and
my
expertise
and
opinion
is
what's
going
to
amount
to
about
20
tickets
a
year.
So
that's
you
know
the,
but
you
can't
legislate
that
effectively.
You
know
that's
just
like
all
the
remotes
and
alluded
to
just
once
we
put
the
policy
on
the
books
and
policies
on
the
books
and
then
it's
up
to
the
administration
at
any
given
amount
of
time
to
you
know
either
put
weight
behind
it
or
not.
So
just
those
are
my
thoughts
on
the.
A
G
Think
we're
close
I
mean
some
may
not
I
appreciate
the
effort
that
you've
put
into
it.
I
appreciate
the
comments
that
almond
Wilson
articulated.
If
we
can
find
a
way
to
massage
that
into
the
ordinance
I
would
say
bring
it
back
to
us
in
a
couple
of
weeks
and
hopefully
it's
something
that
we
can
all
agree
to
pass.
Thank.
E
You
so
my
main
concern
is
in
business
districts
and
that
that
we
get
those
cleared
right
away
and
tomorrow
and
the
next
day
will
probably
be
a
really
good,
really
good
test
case
for
that.
I
am
I'm
concerned
about
the
residential
areas,
although
in
my
ward,
the
residential
areas
that
are
between,
for
example,
the
L
stations
and
the
northwestern
campus,
there
is
so
much
traffic
on
those
on
those
sidewalks
that
even
with
a
small
snow,
it
it's
packed
down
and
is
almost
unmovable.
E
But
within
an
hour
of
the
snowfall
and
that's
sort
of
unreasonable
to
say
to
folks.
If
you
live
in
a
certain
area,
you
need
to
get
out
there
every
hour
and
clear.
The
walk
I
want
to
make
it
I
want
to
make
it
fair
to
them.
On
the
other
hand,
I
know
pretty
much
in
the
residential
areas
where
the
problems
are
and
I
think
that
we
can
address
those
without
finding
anyone
again,
I,
don't
want
20
tickets
a
year.
E
Thank
you,
city
manager,
that's
important
to
know
that
that
how
long
this
takes
actually
to
get
resolved
so
I
think
the
what
miss
Leonard
said
about
in
terms
of
of
impressing
upon
homeowners,
how
important
it
is
they
get
out
there
and
shovel
I
mentioned
at
the
last
meeting
that
my
homeowners
on
either
side
of
me,
both
of
them
work
out
of
town.
I
shoveled
their
walks.
E
I,
don't
do
it
as
well
as
my
walk,
but
I
make
the
efforts
and
and
I
think
we
just
need
to
impress
on
everyone
that
the
pedestrian
safety
is
really
important
to
all
of
us.
I
want
to
thank
alderman
Wilson
for
his
comments,
though,
because
they're
really
important
and
that's
at
the
heart
of
getting
this
right
cuz
we
can't
as
nice
as
our
inspectors
are.
What
we're
putting
in
is
law
what
you
must
do
and
the
ability
to
be
nicer
or
to
make
you
no
concessions.
That's
not
in
here
and
we
in
many
ways.
E
That's
not
fair
to
our
residents
to
do
that.
So
I'd
like
to
find
city
manager
I'd
like
to
find
a
way
to
get
the
snow
removed
from
the
business
districts
and
figure
out
a
way
to
educate
our
snow
removal,
guys
about
keeping
alleys
and
driveways
open,
and
maybe
that's
where
we
can
start
and
work
on
the
rest
of
it
in
residential
areas
to
get
it
right.
Thank.
AJ
Clearly,
this
is
an
issue
that
we're
passionate
about
in
many
ways
in
what
I
find
in
the
Third
Ward
is
the
business
districts
are
much
better
than
the
residential
area,
so
I
think
it
varies.
It
from
place
to
place
I
think
like
alderman
braithwaite's
that
were
close
I
have
had
many
phone
calls
with
people
who
are
really
frustrated.
AJ
You
know
you
are
required
to
do
this
to
get
out
there
and
do
it
and
most
neighbors
recognize
when
they
you
know
their
next-door
neighbor
is
out
of
town
they're,
not
going
to
call
the
city
on
them.
I'm,
sorry
that
we
have
this
happy
old
McCoy
issue
sometimes
puts
real
on
one
but
I
I'm
sitting
here.
Thinking
about
it
is
illegal
to
park
too
close
to
a
corner.
It
is
illegal
to
park
too
close
to
an
alley.
If
your
meter
runs
out,
you
are
in
violation.
AJ
We
don't
manage
to
get
every
single
person
ticket
every
single
person
who
parks
too
close
to
an
alley
or
whose
meter
has
run
out
or
who-
and
we
just
we
don't-
have
the
staff
for
that.
But
knowing
that
you're
not
supposed
to
do
it
is
enough
to
get
people
generally
speaking
to
not
take
a
chance.
So
I
think
that's
the
balance
where
we're
trying
to
achieve
here.
AJ
I
used
to
live
in
DC
DC
had
the
it
was
not
possible
to
park
illegally
in
Washington
and
not
get
a
ticket,
and
so
it
was
so
intense
that
you
never
parked
illegally
because
I
don't
know
how
many
they
DC
PEO
say
I'm
employed,
but
it
was
a
lot
unlike
Evanston.
We
balance
it
out,
and
so
sometimes
people
park
too
close
to
the
corner
and
they
don't
get
a
ticket,
but
they
know
that
there's
a
possibility
that
they
might
and
they
and
they
comply.
So
I
do
think.
AJ
Having
this
new
ordinance
means
that
people
will
become
more
conscious
of.
As
a
director
Leonard
told
us,
we
had
600
Falls
last
year.
You
know
and
I
think
all
of
us
can
probably
think
of
someone.
We
know
who
has
broken
a
wrist
broken
an
elbow
who
are
not
necessarily
seniors
so
I
mean
this
is
about
the
general
health
of
everyone
here
in
Evanston,
I.
AJ
AK
I
think
what
irritated
people
the
most
is
when
they
call
up
3-1-1
and
make
a
report
of
someone
who
hasn't
shoveled
and
they're
told
we're
sorry.
We
can't
do
anything
because
it
hasn't
snowed,
four
or
five
inches.
That
just
makes
them
crazy
because
there
ice
on
the
sidewalk
and
snow
on
the
sidewalk.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
we
were
trying
to
resolve.
So
that's
one
thing
so
I
think
we
should
just
completely
remove
any
any
representation
for
any
kind
of
amount
of
ice
or
amount
of
snow
if
it
snows
or
it's
icy.
AK
You
have
to
clean
your
sidewalk
and
I
think
that
just
has
to
be
the
bottom
line
and
then
I
I
think
the
door
hanger
is
what
we
should
do.
I
mean
I,
really
think
we
should
pursue
there,
but
I,
don't
think
it
should
be
so
malevolent
as
as
we've
been
with
tickets
and
things
I
think
I
don't
see
how
we're
gonna
collect
a
fine.
We
listen
to
Johanna
at
our
last
meeting
where
she
laid
out
the
timeline
it
was
like
a
month
before
there
was
any
possibility,
even
of
a
even
of
an
aggressive
hearing
officer.
AK
Even
levelling
a
fine,
so
it's
a
month
that
it's
some
so
much
money
wasted
that,
let's
just
make
sure
there's
some
contact
of
the
person
who's
being
complained
about
and
move
on.
I
I
think
the
door
hanger
is
sufficient
and
then
I
and
but
the
downtown,
the
commercial
is
more
serious,
I
think
but
in
the
neighborhoods
I
think
a
door
hanger
and
let's
move
on
I
just
don't
see
what
else
we
can
do.
Hey.

Move

p1
its
approval
of
vacation
rental
license
for
a
property
that
is
not
owner
occupied
at
27:22
Noyes
Street
staff
recommends
approval
of
a
vacation
rental
license
that
is
not
owner
occupied
for
the
single-family
residence
of
27:23
Noyes
Street,
the
vacation
rental
meets
all
the
standards
and
procedures
for
license
approval.
This
is
for
action.
There.
A
A
AP
The
proposal
does
not
meet
all
the
standards
for
an
especial
use
in
this
district.
Specifically,
the
proposed
Park
expansion
would
increase
the
negative
cumulative
impact
on
the
surrounding
residential
neighborhood
and
may
interfere
with
or
diminish
the
value
of
property
in
the
neighborhood.
Following
the
CBA
hearing,
the
applicant
submitted
a
modified
traffic
circulation
plan
and
parking,
an
Operations
summary
that
will
mitigate
the
impact
on
the
surrounding
residents
on
the
neighborhood.
This
is
for
action.
There.
A
Q
Q
But
it
seems
to
me
this
is
a
difficult
balancing
act,
because
we
have
the
interests
of
an
important
community
institution
on
the
one
hand,
and
protecting
the
residential
quality
of
the
adjacent
neighborhood.
So
I've
been
struggling
for
the
last
several
months,
I
think
to
see
if
there
was
a
way
to
make
it
work.
That
would
be.
That
would
bring
some
kind
of
improvement
to
the
situation,
and
so
it
does
seem
to
me
that
granting
the
special
use
will
accomplish
two
things
by
expanding
the
South
parking
lot.
Q
It's
going
to
provide
an
area
for
additional
parking
for
teachers
and
staff
during
the
school
day,
and
so
it
will
remove
the
cars
from
the
south
half
of
the
main
parking
lot,
which
will
then
make
that
a
large
area,
car
free
and
thus
a
safer
play
area
for
the
st.
a
students
during
the
school
hours
and
this
clearing
out
the
cars
from
parking
on
the
south
side.
Q
Of
that
main
parking
lot
will
also
provide
space
for
a
revised
circulation
plan
pattern
which
I
hopeful
is
going
to
reduce
the
traffic
congestion
in
the
South
alley
and
along
Eastwood
during
school
pickup
hours.
Because
that
seemed
at
the
initial
conversations.
The
big
focus
seemed
to
be
on
the
traffic
congestion
at
school
pickup
time.
So.
Q
So
I
do
think
that
that
will
bring
an
improvement
to
the
traffic
situation.
There
are
some
conditions
in
the
ordinance
tonight.
It
was
mentioned
about
the
difficulty
with
or
the
problem
for,
the
neighbors
with
tailgating,
particularly
in
the
South
parking
lot,
and
their
condition
in
the
ordinance
is
that
there,
the
south
parking
lot
shall
not
be
rented
out
for
any
non
st.
day's
events.
In
addition,
there's
a
condition
that
says
there
needs
to
be
a
better
management
plan.
Q
In
addition,
we
need
to
there
have
been
several
mentions
over
the
months
before
zba,
etc,
about
the
importance
of
landscape
screening
along
Eastwood,
so
that
it
it
will
create
a
at
least
a
visual
buffer
for
the
neighbors
and
so
I
think.
That's
an
important
thing
that
dapper
needs
to
be
really
focusing.
On
else
did
I
want
to
say.
Q
So
anyway,
I
do
think
that
there
are
in
a
number
of
places,
conditions
that
have
been
actually
put
in
the
ordinance
or
discussions
were
representations
were
made
at
CBA
and
adapter
that
I,
that
the
city
and
I
will
be
holding
say
days
to
complying
with,
and
so
I
will
be
supporting
the
special
use
request.
Thank.
AN
AN
Thank
you,
that's
obviously
a
very
different
breaths,
okay
and
then
my
other
just
question,
and
that
question,
but
I
guess
concern
and
looking
at
this
map
and
hearing
from
the
residents
right
around
is
the
usage
of
the
alley.
So
on
the
map.
It
has
public
alleys
in
pink
here
and
it
looks
like
the
public.
Alleys
are
definitely
part
of
the
traffic
plan
for
the
parking
and
my
concern
with
that
is
that
we
don't
pay
our
Ally's
right.
AN
So
you
have
to
go
through
the
special
assessments
if
they
leave
an
apron-
and
we
know
that
the
week
we
create
the
alleys
best
we
can,
but
our
alleys
are
not
always
in
the
best
shape.
So
now,
I,
don't
know
how
many
cars
go
through
there
now,
but
we're
talking
about
adding
additional
cars
through
here
to
get
to
additional
parking
lots,
and
so
the
wear
and
tear
potentially
on
that
alley.
AN
AN
Q
Just
to
provide
some
additional
information,
the
just
change
the
revised
circulation
pattern
is
not
putting
additional
cars
down
the
alley.
It's
the
car.
Those
cars
are
already
going
down
the
alley,
but
they're
currently
lining
up
in
the
alley
waiting
for
waiting
to
get
into
the
main
parking
lot
where
the
pickup
happens.
So
what
these?
What
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
is
have
two
lanes
of
people
waiting
to
pick
up
in
the
main
parking
lot
so
that
the
cars
can
get
down
the
South
alley
quicker
and
not
line
up
there.
So
I
think
right.
AJ
AJ
I
understand
their
concerns
about
you,
know,
inappropriate
behavior
during
games
and
that
they
have
not
been
satisfied
by
say
days,
response
to
that.
No
I
I
think
that
we've
heard
a
lot
from
the
neighbors
here.
So
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
there's
some
teeth
in
that
management
plan
so
that
that,
if
there
are
complaints,
I'm
that
that
that
there's,
a
reason
for
saying,
is
to
properly
manage
this
and
not
say
they
can't
control
people,
because
that
that's
not
right
here,
yeah.
AJ
E
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I'm
gonna
support
the
neighbors
on
this
I've
had
several
similar
experiences
in
the
First
Ward,
and
it
does
have
a
really
negative
impact
on
quality
of
life
and
in
a
residential
neighborhood.
This
is
not
single-family
residential
neighbors
who
have
put
up
with
a
lot
and
a
wonderful
school
and
I'm
sure,
wonderful,
kids
and
parents,
and
teachers
and
administrators,
but
this
is
hard.
This
is
really
hard
and
the
use
of
the
alleys
I,
don't
think,
is
appropriate.
E
Alderman
Fleming
raised
a
really
good
point,
and
that
is
that
over
time
the
adjoining
neighbors
have
paid
for
these
alleys.
I,
don't
know
whether
Saintes
is
considering
taking
the
responsibility
of
paving
the
parts
of
the
alley
that
it's
going
to
use
or
not,
but
I
I
just
see
that
this
is
a
a
real
negative
for
for
neighbors
and
I'm,
going
to
support
their
point
of
view.
Okay,.
A
A
Wow,
this
is
an
interesting
situation,
so
we
have
afford
a
four
to
four
vote
and
I
break
these
votes,
but
I
have
a
child
that
goes
to
st.
ace,
so
I
definitely
feel
that
I
have
to
recuse
myself
on
this
on
this
matter,
so
I'm,
not
sure
I,
guess
I
turned
to
our
city
attorney
how
how
this
works.
Normally
there
would
be
right,
alderman,
Ruth,
Simmons
here
to
vote
one
way
or
the
other
and
she's
not
this
evening.

I'm,
a
new
tree
preservation,
ordinance,
7,

to
apply
to
trees,
25
inches
in
diameter
at
breast
height
and
larger
4
inches
at
breast
height
or
larger
4
oak
and
hickory
species
on
private
property,
whose
men
improvements
are
proposed
that
are
classified
as
new
construction
or
those
who
would
increase
the
amount
of
impervious
surface
by
more
than
six
hundred
square
feet.
This
is
fraction.
It's.
E
We
we
want
to
make
sure
I
believe
that
that
folks,
who
are
wanting
to
take
a
tree
down,
don't
just
have
the
option
of
saying
I
will
come
in
and
give
you
money
to
do
replacement
trees.
But
there
be
a
process
on
which
we
can
deny
the
the
request
to
remove
a
tree
with
the
provision
for
an
appeal
to
Council
I'm,
not
sure
how
we
put
that
language
in.

AJ
A
AJ
I
would
recommend
we
hold
it
until
the
next
meeting
and
that
you
and
I
talk
with
the
staff
about
I
agree
with
alderman
Fisk
I.
Think
the
point
of
this
was
that
we
should
protect
our
some
of
our
particularly
valuable
trees
and
that
simply
causing
someone
to
pay
for
replacing
them
with
X
number
of
trees.
It
doesn't
really
achieve
the
goal
that
we
that
we
want
and
these
the
trees
are
not
there.
We
now
recognize
the
environmental
value
of
these
trees,
and
this
actually
applies
to
carp.
X
A
Q
Just
like
to
mention
that,
Thursday
next
week,
March
5th
at
7
p.m.
in
the
parasol
room
on
the
4th
floor
is
going
to
be
an
affordable
housing.
Community
workshop,
and
this
is
the
culmination
will
be
the
culmination
of
sort
of
a
first
round
of
community
outreach
to
talk
with
residents
about
what
they
see
as
the
needs
in
the
community
and
what
some
possible
strategies
are
that
they
might
want
to
support.
And
so
it's
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
come.
Share
your
thoughts
with
the
affordable
housing
planning
committee
and
with
your
with
your
neighbors.

On
Thursday
at
7:30,
there'll
be
a
meeting
at
the
levy
center
regarding
the
reuse
and
redevelopment
of
the
recycling
center,
and
also
at
7
o'clock
that
same
night,
a
very
short
meeting
for
people
that
live
in
the
Kirk
and
Dewey
area.
Regarding
the
Commonwealth
Edison
trimming
of
trees
on
Kirk
and
the
options
that
we're
going
to
offer
you
Paul
D'agostino
will
be
there
regarding
either
replacement
or
an
attempt
to
rejuvenate
those
trees
that
have
been
severely
damaged
and
are
in
pretty
bad
shape.
AK
A
AN
Yes,
I
have
two
referrals
for
HSC:
one
is
an
update
on
our
equity
work,
the
other
isn't
a
bit
in
our
translation
policy
and
I.
Think
that's
it.
Oh.
Actually,
don't
forget
to
appeal
your
property
taxes.
You
can
appeal
your
property
taxes
if
you
own
a
home
in
Evanston
until
the
end
of
March.
Thank.
E
E
I
want
to
remind
everyone
who
is
interested
in
the
legacy
planned
development.
This
is
the
an
extension
of
the
Marion

its
from
16
21
to
31.
Chicago
Avenue
is
going
to
plan
Commission
on
Wednesday
night,
so
that
7
p.m.
and
first
ward
meeting
is
the
first
Tuesday
in
March,
which
I
think
is
March
3rd
7:00
to
9:00
p.m.
at
the
library
per
usual.
E
G
You
mr.
mayor
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
there
is
an
event:
that's
sponsored
by
the
Evanston
Community
Foundation
and
Evon
student
cradle-to-career,
it's
lifting
up
early
childhood.
It's
a
three-part
series.
The
next
conversation
is
going
to
be
hosted
in
the
second
Ward
Wednesday
February
26
at
dr.
Martin,
Luther,
King
jr.
school.
It's
going
to
be
will
they'll,
have
a
presentation
from
the
air
consent
Institute
and
the
president
Jeff
Nagel
will
be
there
talking
about
the
first
1,100
days
of
our
child
care.
G
So
quoting
a
lot
of
good
conversation
surrounding
the
importance
of
child
care
and
they're
going
to
be
over
I
think
this
has
been
organized
with
over
60
partners.
So
encouraging
a
lot
of
people
come
out,
they
will
provide
child
care
and
dinner.
The
only
ask
is
that
you
register
and
you
can
do
that
at
Evanston,
forever
dot,
org,
backslash
lifting
up
great
great
opportunity.
Yeah
