A
City

can
you
please
take
the
role?
Yes.
B

A
All
right
well
great!
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Clerk
reed
welcome
everybody
to
the
monday
september,
14
2020,
evanston
city
council
meeting.
It's
been
a
while,
since
we've
had
a
city
council
meeting,
so
I
hope
everyone
has
had
a
nice
august.
We
will
have
a
busy
fall
with
meetings
on
our
city
budget
and
many
other
in
policing
and
many
other
issues
before
the
city
we're
going
to
public
announcements
because
we
haven't
met
for
a
month.
I
have
several
announcements
and
proclamations
that
I
want
to
make
this
evening.
A
Two
are
pretty
pretty
straightforward
in
short,
so
I'm
actually
going
to
read
them
and
then
the
third
I'm
going
to
hand
off
to
kimberly
cull
our
emergency
management
director
here
with
the
city.
So
the
first
one
that
I
want
to
recognize
is
september
15th,
so,
starting
tomorrow,
through
october,
15
20
is
evanston
hispanic
heritage
month.
A
We
all
value
the
diversity
that
we
have
in
our
community,
including
ethnic
diversity.
Our
hispanic
population
in
evanston
continues
to
grow
as
it
is
everywhere
and,
and
we
want
to
recognize
the
richness
of
our
community
because
of
the
the
latinos
that
live
here.
A
Normally,
we
have
all
sorts
of
activities
during
during
this
month,
where
we
all
gather
and
get
together
in
the
community
because
of
the
pandemic.
There
will
probably
be
less
of
that,
but
there
will
still
be
activities
and
we
will
be
promoting
them
in
the
monthly
in
the
weekly
newsletter
and
everything.
A
So
that's
that's
that
proclamation
second
proclamation
is
also
is
national
senior
center
month
here
across
the
country,
and
here
in
evanston
we
are
fortunate
because
of
joseph
joe
levy
and
his
family
and
many
other
families
who
have
supported
seniors
in
this
community
to
recognize
this
month,
and
so
I
just
this
is
pretty
short
as
well.
I
wanted
to
stress
the
importance
of
seniors
in
our
community.
A
One
of
the
beautiful
things
about
evanston
is
we're
diverse
in
in
every
way,
including
age,
diversity
and
people
can
grow
old
here
in
our
community
and
and
live
a
really
vibrant,
enjoyable
life.
Here.
E
A
And
whereas,
during
the
pandemic,
the
levy
senior
center
has
been
a
community
partner
in
ensuring
that
our
most
vulnerable
citizens,
people
aged
55
and
older.
Many
with
underlying
health
conditions,
are
cared
for
and
able
to
stay
safe
and
healthy.
Whereas
the
levy
senior
center
in
the
city
of
evanston,
cook,
county
of
cook,
state
of
illinois
affirmed
the
dignity,
self-worth
and
independence
of
older
persons
by
facilitating
their
decisions
and
actions,
tapping
their
experiences,
skills
and
knowledge
and
enabling
their
continued
contribution
to
the
community.
A
So
I
want
to
thank
everybody
who
is
part
of
the
levy
senior
center?
It
takes
a
lot
of
people
to
run
that
I
know
we
haven't
been
able
to
have
that
facility
at
full
capacity,
also
because
of
the
pandemic,
and
I
also
want
to
recognize
audrey
thompson
and
her
staff
who
work
really
really
closely
with
the
senior
community
in
our
in
our
city.
I
also
just
as
a
connection
to
the
pandemic.
A
The
entire
senior
community
in
the
long-term
care
facilities
that
we
have
in
town
have
really
all
summer
really
done
a
terrific
job
with
managing
the
pandemic.
We've
had
very
few
cases
during
this
time
there
and-
and
I
appreciate
their
good,
their
good
work
next
up
is.
This
is,
coincidentally
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic
emergency
preparedness
month,
and
it's
important
for
all
of
us
to
recognize
the
importance
of
preparedness.
I'm
proud
of
how
evanston
has
come
together
to
you
know,
prepare
respond
and
work
to
try
and
recover
from
this
disaster.
A
This
evening
on,
the
agenda
is
going
to
be
a
big
discussion
about
our
economic
recovery
and
the
impact
this
is
having
on
our
small
businesses
here
in
evanston,
which
is
significant,
and
we
need
to
have
a
long-term
plan
for
how
we're
going
to
recover
as
a
community,
because
it's
going
to
take
many
many
many
years,
but
preparing
for
bad
things
that
can
happen
is
critically
important
in
terms
of
your
successful
response
to
those,
and
so
this
is
emergency
preparedness
month
all
around
the
united
states,
its
meaning,
I
think,
is
more
important
than
ever,
and
what
I
wanted
to
do
this
evening
is
just
have
kimberly
call
is
our
division
chief
at
the
fire
department,
but
also
our
emergency
manager
for
the
city
of
evanston.
F
Yeah
dial
it
up
here
on
this
end,
all
right.
So
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
this
is
an
annual
event.
Every
september
national
preparedness
month
is
recognized.
This
year's
theme
is
disasters.
Don't
wait
make
your
plan
today.
So
throughout
the
month
of
september,
there
are
four
educational
topics
that
will
be
covered.
The
topics
this
month
include
disaster
planning,
pre-disaster
mitigation,
which
includes
anything
from
weatherproofing,
your
home,
making
sure
your
insurance
policies
are
up
to
date
and
adequate
for
the
coverages.
F
You
need
making
an
emergency
emergency
preparedness
kit
and
teaching
your
youth
about
importance
of
being
prepared,
so
leading
by
example,
and
certainly
I
think
we
would
agree
that
it's
never
been
more
relevant
today
with
the
colby
crisis
and
the
more
extreme
weather
events
that
we
are
are
experiencing
and
soon
to
experience
more
of
disaster
planning
and
preparedness,
first
and
foremost
starts
with
the
individual.
F
It
includes
anything
from
life,
saving
skills,
cpr
and
first
aid
having
a
plan
in
case
you
have
to
evacuate
and
and
coordination
with
your
family
having
a
point
of
exits
and
a
reconvening
point.
Financial
planning
and
financial
recovery,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
is,
is
a
very
large
component
of
being
prepared.
Unfortunately,
only
about
30
percent
of
the
us
is
indicated
to
have
a
savings
account
estimates
indicate
and
as
for
communications,
emergency
communications
is
really
vital.
F
Now
I
think,
for
some
people
in
town
that
are
signed
up
for
the
evanston
alerts
or
something
is
called
everbridge,
you
received
a
text
message
or
email
or
voice
message
indicating
that
there
was
a
storm
august
10th
just
last
month,
a
little
over
a
month
ago
now
our
weather
reports
indicated
we
had
a
hundred
mile
per
hour
potential
winds
and
one
and
a
half
inch
hail.
That
was
potential
for
our
area.
F
It
was
as
a
result
from
the
duracho
and
the
rogers
park
area
was
directly
impacted
from
that.
So
after
the
alleged
the
emergency
sirens
were
set
off,
we
had
sent
out
that
emergency
notification
to
provide
people
guidance
to
seek
shelter
in
their
basements,
get
out
of
the
seek
shelter
under
the
lower
area
of
the
home
if
they
don't
have
a
basement,
and
a
lot
of
people
are
very
grateful
for
that
message.
F
If
that
area
that
the
ratio
had
hit
our
area
that
could
have
potentially
saved
lives,
there's
also
an
informational
avenue
called
gov
delivery.
Now,
gov
delivery
reaches
about
60
000
people
almost
and
the
everbridge
evanston
alerts
reaches
about
38
000
individuals.
F
These
are
options
that
you
can
avail
yourself
of
they're
free
of
charge,
and
it's
something
you
can
use
by
the
way
of
a
city's
311
system
to
to
sign
up
for
or
you
can
certainly
visit
the
fire
department's
website
under
a
city's
office
of
emergency
preparedness,
and
you
can
sign
yourself
up
for
those
notifications.
F
I
would
highly
recommend
it
the
as
we
continue
to
encounter
the
more
extreme
weather
that
we
talked
about.
Community
preparedness
really
involves
the
whole
community.
It
starts
with
the
individual,
but,
as
you
can
see,
on
a
lot
of
the
eastern
coast,
communities
with
the
hurricanes
and
tropical
storm
activity
that
they
have
they've
really
come
to
grow
together
and
become
very
resilient
and,
ultimately
that's.
The
goal
of
preparedness.
F
You
can
sign
up
for
and
look
look
at
more
information
on
through
the
office
emergency
preparedness
website,
and
that
is
something
that
provides
a
free
chain,
free
charge
or
free
training,
rather
for
people
who
want
to
become
more
prepared,
understand
about
how
they
can
not
only
individually
become
prepared
how
to
build
a
preparedness
kit,
but
also
how
they
can
become
more
engaged
in
their
community
and
grow.
F
Based
on
that
whole
community
approach.
That
was
mentioned
cert
just
last
year,
just
through
30
members
had
devoted
over
1050
hours
of
their
time
to
be
able
to
support
the
safety
and
well-being
of
our
community
and
as
for
a
city's
example,
community
engagement.
F
As
the
mayor
had
mentioned,
through
the
colvin
response,
we
have
dedicated
countless
hours
towards
response
and
recovery,
as
well
as
community
rebuilding
efforts.
A
business
recovery
is
one
aspect
of
that
that
response
and
when
we
look
at
some
of
the
things
that
have
been
done
in
march
18,
we
were
able
to
enable
a
emergency
declaration.
F
We
went
to
a
level
three
eoc
activation
which
basically
set
us
up
for
opening
our
emergency
operations
center.
As
of
march
18th,
which
is
the
wednesday
and
since
we've
been
open,
it's
not
something
you
could
say
of
many
communities.
We
have
really
devoted
countless
hours
towards
making
sure
that
our
community
is
well
cared
for
and
we
are
continuing
to
try
to
address
those
needs.
F
A
Thank
you
chief,
and
I
just
want
to
recognize
all
the
good
work
that
that
you
have
done
in
everybody
in
the
eoc,
but
I
specifically
want
to
recognize
you
chief
cole,
for
for
what
you've
done
again.
I
think
people
in
the
city,
I
know
the
city
council
and
I
are
very
pleased
with
how
evanston's
doing
so
far.
A
So
far
through
this
pandemic,
speaking
of
the
pandemic,
I
don't
have
a
formal
report,
but
I
just
want
to
give
everyone.
That's
watching.
Just
a
quick
update.
The
city
of
evanston
continues
to
do
really.
Well,
thanks
to
everyone
and
all
of
the
work,
it
is
a
whole
whole
of
community
response
and
recovery
effort.
A
Here
in
the
city,
we
are
part
of
a
larger
region,
so
we're
part
of
region,
10,
ems
region,
10..
That
region
is,
has
a
positivity
rate
of
around
six
percent.
Evanston's
positivity
rate
is
around
one
and
a
half
percent,
meaning
one
and
a
half
percent
of
the
people
that
are
being
tested
right
now
are
testing
positive
for
19.
some
days,
it's
a
little
higher
some
days,
it's
a
little
a
little
less.
I'm
looking
at
the
last
situation
report
that
we
produce
every
wednesday,
and
so
the
the
larger
region.
A
Again
that
we're
a
part
of
which
is
suburban,
cook
county,
is
about
six
percent
that
positivity
rate
matters.
We
want
to
see
that
as
low
as
possible.
The
schools
have
set
a
threshold
of
three
percent
and
below
three
percent
in
order
to
get
children
back
into
the
schools
and
they
are
looking
at
the
entire
ems
region
and
the
rationale
for
that
is
that
we
have
teachers
that
live
all
over
this
region,
not
just
in
evanston.
A
The
infection
rate
is
really
important.
We
track
that.
It
means
how
many
people,
just
one
person,
in
fact
who
has
covet
19.
you
want
that
ratio
to
be
under
or
that
factor
to
be
under
1.0.
It's
hovering
right
around
one,
meaning
one
infected
person
infects
one
other
person
when
that
number
goes
up.
That's
when
you
start
to
see
exponential
growth
of
of
the
of
the
disease,
our
seventh,
our
our
seven
day
moving
average.
This
is,
as
of
last
wednesday,
with
cases
was
about
four
cases.
A
This
weekend
we
did
have
two
higher
numbers
for
evanston
12,
one
day,
nine,
the
other
day,
a
question
that
I
have
been
receiving.
I
know
our
alderman
and
others
have
been
receiving-
is
the
weather
northwestern
numbers.
So
when
students
come
back,
whether
those
numbers
are
included
in
the
city
numbers-
and
the
answer
is
yes,
if
those
students
reside
in
evanston,
we
capture
those
numbers
here.
So
so
far
again
the
students
have
started
to
come
back.
A
We
haven't
seen
a
huge
jump
in
in
those
numbers
if
you're
interested
specifically
in
the
university
numbers
northwestern,
is
providing
publicly
those
numbers
and
if
you
just
did
coven
19
northwestern
university,
that
would
that
would
come
up
so
come
wednesday,
we'll
see
a
slightly
higher
seven
day,
moving
average
because
of
the
numbers
this
weekend,
the
seven
day
day,
moving
average
daily
positivity
rate
was
1.18
as
of
last
wednesday.
So
again,
really
really
positive
news
for
evanston
and
last
I'll.
A
Just
leave
you
with
overall
cases
we're
over
a
thousand
cases.
Here
in
evanston
we
have
a
a
metric
that
we
use
to
measure
how
we're
doing
relative
to
our
nearby
neighbors
is
the
cases
per
ten
thousand.
So
if
we
compare
ourselves
to
skokie
in
the
city
of
chicago
we,
we
are
at
about
138
cases
per
10,
000.
skokie's
at
260
cases
per
10
000
in
chicago's
at
273..
A
So
on
that
on
that
measurement,
we
we
continue
to
do
well.
I
mentioned
up
front
the
number
of
cases
in
our
nursing
homes
or
our
senior
living
centers
is
way
down
from
what
it
was
back
in
the
spring.
So
please
keep
up
all
of
the
good
work
that
you're
doing
wear
those
masks.
We
know
that
masks
make
a
huge
difference,
so
please
wear
those
masks
and
let's
keep
taking
care
of
each
other
last
thing
up
on
their
announcements.
A
Is
I
just
want
to
give
a
quick
update
on
our
city
manager,
recruitment
process.
As
people
know,
this
summer
we
have
been
asking
for
applicants
who
would
be
interested
in
being
the
city
manager
of
our
great
city.
We
received
70
applications
that
were
submitted
for
the
job,
our
tentative
schedule,
and
we
put
this
out
publicly.
So
if
I
go
through
this
you're
like
okay,
what
were
those
dates?
Again?
A
You
just
go
onto
the
city's
website
and
pull
this
up,
but
on
friday
september
18th,
our
executive
recruiter
that
we've
hired
gov
hr
will
be
providing
a
confidential
recruitment
report
to
the
evanston
city
council.
A
That
report
lists
again:
all
the
candidates
have
applied
and
everything
else
it
is
confidential.
Some
people
might
say.
Well,
I
don't
understand.
Why
is
it
confidential?
Why
can't?
I
see
all
the
names
these
are
professionals
from
around
the
country
who
have
applied
for
jobs
if
they're
a
finalist
for
their
job
for
the
job,
the
name
will
become
public,
but
until
till
then
we
owe
folks
are
a
right
of
some
privacy,
so
that
will
be
with
the
with
the
city
council.
A
It
is
ultimately
the
city
council
that
will
be
making
the
decision
about
who
to
hire
for
the
next
city
manager.
We
will
be
having
a
special
city
council
executive
session
and
it
will
just
be
for
the
city
council
members
on
september
24th
with
gov
hr,
where
we
will
select
the
first
round
of
candidates
at
that
meeting
the
week
of
september
28th,
the
city
council
will
conduct
interviews
with
those
semifinalists
so
to
speak.
A
The
pool
of
candidates
will
then
be
reduced
during
the
executive
session
meeting
and
then
october
5th
remaining
candidates,
so
the
finalists
will
participate
in
a
second
round
of
interviews
with
city,
council
and
community
panels,
as
well
as
a
community
forum.
So
we'll
talk
about
the
setup
of
those
community
members
that
we
get
involved
in
this
process,
there
will
be
an
opportunity
for
all
community
members
to
meet
the
fun.
The
final,
this
final
couple
candidates
and
then
the
week
of
october
12th
in
executive
session.
A
The
council
hopes
to
select
the
next
city
manager
and
gov
hr.
Will
our
executive
recruiter
enter
into
negotiations,
and
then
we
will
hold
a
special
meeting
on
october
19th
to
announce
and
approve
a
contract
for
the
new
city
manager.
So
that's
that's
the
schedule,
that's
where
we
stand
right
now
and
we
will.
A
We
will
talk
more
about
about
this
in
the
coming
weeks,
so
that
wraps
up
the
announcements
that
I
had.
I
know
they
were
long
today
we
haven't
met
for
a
month,
so
there's
a
lot
to
cover.
I'm
now
going
to
turn
it
over
to
the
city
manager
for
any
announcement.
She.
B
Yes,
I
have
quick,
you
know
it's
going
to
be
kind
of
a
repeating
announcement
between
now
on
election
day
to
make
sure
that
folks
are
are
aware
and
of
everything
going
on
with
the
election.
B
So
again,
I
just
want
to
remind
folks
that
if
you
want
to
get
information
on
voting
in
the
upcoming
november
election,
you
can
go
to
the
city
clerks
go
to
the
city's
website
and
you
can
go
to
the
city
clerk's
page
and
find
election
information,
and
in
that
section,
you'll
find
out
that
early
voting
begins
october
19th,
so
you'll
be
able
to
early
vote
here
at
the
civic
center
folks
are
recommending
you
know
voting
before
election
day,
so
it's
either
early
voting
voting
by
mail
or
other
methods.
B
So,
as
I
said,
early
voting
will
be
weekdays
from
8
30
a.m
until
7
00
p.m.
So
you'll
be
able
to
early
vote
at
the
civic
center
in
room
g300
on
saturdays,
from
9
to
5
p.m,
and
as
well
as
on
sundays,
from
9
to
5
p.m.
B
It's
helpful
to
bring
a
driver's
license.
State
id
student
id
employee,
id
credit
card
social
incorporate
certificate,
identifying
information
for
mail-in
voting.
You
do
want
to
make
sure
that's
gonna
be
fairly.
It
seems
you
know.
Some
polling
has
said
that
around
75
percent
of
democrats
plan
to
vote
early
and
evanston
is
a
highly
democratic
area.
So
we
can
expect
that
a
lot
of
folks
here
are
likely
going
to
be
utilizing
maryland
voting.
So
to
do
so,
you
want
to
download
and
print
the
mail-in
application.
B
B
I
I
would
recommend
not
waiting
until
then,
if
you,
if
you
want
to
do
a
mail-in
ballot,
get
the
request
in
now,
and
you
know
otherwise,
try
to
get
it
in
before
early
october
would
be
my
recommendation
for
mid-october
and
otherwise
early
vote
or
wait
until
election
day.
If,
if
you
search
again,
you
can
reach
out
to
the
cook
county
clerk
or
the
city
clerk.
If
you
have
not
received
your
mail-in
ballot
by
mid-october.
B
And
of
course,
election
day
is
november
3rd
and
you
can
vote
at
your
local
polling
place.
A
list
of
local
polling
places
is
available
with
the
cook
county
clerk's
office.
I
do
not
believe
that
we've
had
any
as
of
yet
any
changes
in
polling
places.
B
Election
since
since
march,
and
then
lastly
for
the
municipal
elections
that
are
coming
up,
I
just
want
to
remind
folks
that
you
can
go
to
the
city
clerks
page
and
again
under
reports
and
presentations,
and
you
can
get
information
on
filing
for
the
upcoming
municipal
elections.
B
Also,
the
round
table,
I
think,
created
a
helpful
article
that
expresses
a
lot
of
the
stuff
as
well.
B
Created
that
oh
there's,
one
announcement,
an
email
that
we
received
from
resident
asking
to
be
removed
from
public
comment
as
the
item
that
they
wished
to
discuss
was
held
in
committee,
and
that
was
mr
miller,
mr
who,
mr
miller
pete
miller.
B
Okay.
It
and
that
concludes
my
comments.
A
Luke
stowe,
if
I'm
looking
at
this
list
correctly,
there's
a
lot
of
names
on
it,
but
several
have
been
marked
off,
so
presumably
these
people
have
taken
themselves
off.
Is
that
correct?
I
to
be
sure
I
calculate
the
time
correctly.
G
Yeah
mayor
there's
about
11
public
speakers.
A
A
Okay,
so
I
want
you
to
jump
in
if
I,
if
I'm
going
off,
there's
something
screwy
with
these
lists
that
you
sent
that
we're
working
off
of
for
some
reason.
Okay,
so
if
we've
got
11
people
as
as
luke
stowe
says
on
his
list,
we're
going
to
give
each
person
up
to
three
minutes.
If
you
need
three
minutes
per
our
rules,
we
set
aside
45
minutes
total.
A
The
speakers
that
I've
got
are
ray.
Friedman
will
be
up
first,
then
rick,
nelson
and
then
betty
ester
welcome,
ray.
K
Good
evening,
mayor,
hagerty
and
and
everybody
in
city
council,
it's
been
a
long
time
long
summer.
Basically
I
wanted
to
talk.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
we
can
welcome
yep.
Thank
you,
okay.
Basically,
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
budget.
K
So
that's
a
big
issue
that
that
I
have
a
lot
of
questions
on
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
kate
and
kimberly
for
their
first
budget
meeting.
However,
I
saw
it
last
year
three
times
this
is
the
fourth
time.
Basically,
I'm
going
there
to
ask
questions
not
to
answer
questions
so.
K
What
what
I
want
to
say
is
that
the
residents
really
need
to
have
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions
but
more
important.
We
need
to
have
them
answered.
Okay,
like
a
dialogue,
I
know
it's
surprised,
so
we
need
to
have
some
kind
of
format
for
the
residents
to
have
questions
answered.
I
just
have
a
few
budget
questions
here.
K
Is
city
hall
still
closed
and
when
will
it
reopen
and
how
much
have
we
saved
by
city
hall
being
closed,
and
I
asked
erica
this
question
at
the
board
meeting,
but
for
everybody
how
many
employees
do
we
currently
have
last
count?
I
guess
it
was
800
and
I
think
there
was
maybe
50
that
were
laid
off
so
how
many
employees
do
we
currently
have
now
so
did
we
have
any
summer
activities?
K
How
much
money
did
we
save
from
the
lack
of
summer
activities?
It
seems
our
payroll
month.
Actually,
it's
not
monthly.
It
looks
like
bi-weekly.
Payroll
is
about
2.8
million
about
5.6
million
per
month,
and
just
wondering
does
that
include
police
and
fire.
I
thought
that
it
did
bill's
list
for
august.
11Th
was
7.3
million,
that's
for
bills.
Normally
it's
brown
2.8
and
the
bills
list
for
today
is
7.7
million
wondering
why
this
is
again
the
bills
usually
around
2.8.
K
Do
we
still
owe
any
money
for
robert
crown
and
how
much
was
the
total
cost
to
build
robert
crown?
Have
we
have
we
relocated
all
the
tenants
that
we
had
housed
in
hotels?
I
know
you
were
talking
about
relocating
tenants
there
and
how
much
did
it
cost
and
how
much
money
did
we
get
repaid
from
government
grants
for
those
tenants
to
be
housed?
K
A
A
A
Good
night
ray
next
up,
we've
got
rick
nelson,
then
betty
esther.
Then
mr
wittenberg.
L
Good
evening
I'm
rick
nelson
of
environmental
justice
evanston.
I
spoke
earlier
this
evening
during
the
public
comment
period
of
the
planning
and
development
committee
on
the
environmental
justice
resolution
that
is
now
before
the
city
council
tonight.
Since
the
planning
and
development
committee
approved
the
ej
resolution,
I
believe
it
was
seven
to
zero.
I'm
going
to
actually
keep
this
very
brief.
I'd
like
to
thank
the
planning
and
development
committee
members
for
their
strong
support
of
the
resolution
and
encouraged
the
adoption
of
the
ej
resolution
by
the
full
city
council
later
this
evening.
A
A
We
got
up
next
betty
esther,
then
misty
whittenbergman.
G
Mayor
neil
warren
is
going
to
speak
for
pastor.
Okay,
welcome
man.
M
Hello,
I
am
neil
weingarten,
I'm
a
third
ward
resident
mayor
hagerty,
I'm
looking
forward
to
your
presentation
about
the
90
day
use
of
force
pledge
to
set
the
stage
I'd
like
to
provide
some
use
of
forest
data.
Since
you
became
mayor,
this
data
was
required
from
the
citizens
network
of
protections
folio
request.
M
M
So
when
you
consider
use
of
force,
you
might
want
to
use
look
at
it
through
your
eyes.
Considering
this
is
systemic
racism,
as
the
numbers
suggest
you
should
regarding
improving
data
collection
and
access.
The
data
itself
is
not
an
end
to
the
solution.
The
data
is
a
tool
and
refining
discrepancies
with
the
dashboard
still
11
months
after
we
point
them
out
to
chief
cook.
M
We
also
discovered
chief
cook's
own
year-end
report
to
city
council
doesn't
match
the
dashboard.
It
also
doesn't
match
the
illinois
department
of
transportation
data
that
they
send.
Although
all
three
parts
of
those
data
should
be
the
same
so
which
data
is
correct,
who's
ever
seeing
data
accuracy
because
you've
appointed
and
approved
his
year-end
report
every
single
time
and
it's
not
accurate.
M
A
Thank
you.
Next
up,
we've
got
misty
wittenberg,
then
linda
del
bosque,
then
mike
basilco.
N
Hi,
mr
wittenberg,
I'm
speaking
to
the
public's
concerns
which
we've
expressed
for
more
than
a
year
of
the
city's
hr
practices
last
november
i4.
Yet
I
hope
that's
not
my
time.
No.
A
N
Only
the
city's
attorney
responded
instructing
increasingly
hostilely
that
we
were
limited
to
presenting
our
evidence
in
public
hearing
in
10
months
in
the
entirety
of
this,
my
disclosure
of
it.
I
disclosed
it
to
nobody
else,
except
on
september,
2nd
when
I
disclosed
it
to
jennifer
lynn
following
the
clerk's
cross
examination
of
her
as
the
opposing
witness
and
the
clerk
presented,
the
hr
lab
asking
lin
to
confirm
the
disparate
racialized
treatment,
mistaking
lydden's
concern
of
its
public
presentation
as
genuine.
N
I
forwarded
her
my
now
six-month-old
notice
to
the
city
of
the
center
redactable
log
and
our
limitation
to
its
public
presentation.
She
did
not
respond
instead.
After
I
reading
my
email.
Apparently,
she
reappeared
in
the
open
meeting
to
address
the
unredactions
publicly
causing
every
viewer
to
know
that
hr
log
was
unredactable.
N
Typically,
the
city
has
held
the
clerk
as
responsible
for
foia
violations
by
city
departments
and
without
that
available,
and
I'm
not
joking,
the
city
sued
me
for
violating
foia
and
oma.
I
am
not
a
public
body,
but,
more
importantly,
rather
than
address
its
demonstrably
racist
hr
practices,
the
city
filed
a
restraining
order
against
me
from
disclosing
it,
but
I
did
not
have
to
because
the
city
did
in
your
recklessness.
N
You
publicly
published
the
entire
unredactable
hr
log,
which,
thanks
to
lynn's
public
performance,
everyone
knows
is
unredactable
and
other
people
have
now
accessed
and
unredacted
it.
I
had
no
idea.
The
city
did
not
believe
me
or
did
not
know
why
this
blog
was
unredactable.
Nobody
reached
out
to
me.
I
would
have
at
any
time
been
happy
to
help
you
with
these
demonstrates.
I
don't
know
what
you
want
me
to
do.
N
O
All
right
good
evening,
mayor
and
the
council,
thank
you,
mayor,
hagerty,
for
honoring
hispanic
heritage
month.
I
appreciate
that
as
president
of
elba,
the
episode
latinos
business
alliance.
We
are,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
As
a
group,
we
are
continuing
to
empower
one
another
and
grow
our
businesses
and
we're
growing
our
board
of
directors
and
beginning
our
501c3
process
for
nonprofits
to
begin
giving
grants
to
our
own
businesses
and
helping
them
sustain
themselves.
O
So
we
also
have
angela
o'connor
from
jamison
sotheby's
on
the
phone
as
well,
and
so
that's
what
we're
talking
about
today.
We
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
honoring
and
acknowledging
hispanic
heritage
funds
for
the
city
of
evanston,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
the
city.
Thank
you
great.
A
P
Good
evening
I'm
looking
for
some
clarification,
I
guess
it
was
reported
that
the
interim
city
manager
stated
at
the
second
ward
meeting,
that
the
budget
deficit
had
grown
dramatically
and
that
the
police
department
budget
would
be
the
department
that
takes
the
greatest
reduction
accordingly.
P
You
know.
Storly's
support
for
slashing
the
police
department
financially
undermines
the
police
department's
ability
to
protect
evanston
citizens.
The
city
budget
website
has
a
separate
link
for
the
police
department
budget,
so
it
can
be
scrutinized.
P
Where
are
the
comparative
budget
breakdowns
for
community
development
and
for
parks
and
recreation,
the
city
manager's
office,
economic
development
planning
and
zoning,
the
law,
department
and
others
all
of
those
budgets
should
be
equally
scrutinized.
They
should
be
posted
just
as
the
police
department
budget
was
these
departments,
or
at
least
their
leadership
are
reckless
with
city
funds
wasting
precious
financial
resources.
P
P
I
know
that,
but
evanston
residents
are
using
the
same
derogatory
language.
The
second
item
I
wanted
to
bring
up
is
the
schedule
of
meetings
for
citizen
participation
and
the
city
manager
search.
It's
really.
I
mean
you
went
through
a
very
itemized
description
of
why
we
can't
be
involved
earlier,
but
it's
really
almost
useless
to
have
evidence
and
residents
participate
in
literally
one
one
event
that
is
supposed
to
influence
how
that
part,
how
that
decision
is
going
to
be
made,
so
it's
really
not
enough
that
we
need
more
participation
for
the
city
management
search.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
mike.
I
just
want
to
clarify
something
because
I've
seen
it
elsewhere
too.
The
2020
budget
has
not
yet
been
unveiled
the
finance
department,
the
city
manager's
office,
is
working
through
it.
So
when
different
numbers
of
the
projected
deficit
for
2021
excuse
me,
if
I
just
said
2020,
the
2021
budget
had
been
used,
because
I
know
there
was
an
analyst
speaking
at
the
first
ward
meeting.
I
know
mr
lee
spoke
at
the
second
board
meet.
They
are
still
working
through
what
the
projected
deficit
is.
A
So
the
council
has
a
need-
and
I
haven't
even
seen
it
so
they're-
trying
to
be
transparent
and
sort
of
work
with
people,
but
I
don't
want
people
thinking,
oh
the
deficit's
getting
bigger
because
they
gave
one
number
they
are.
They
are
still
working
through
those
numbers,
but
all
of
that
will
be
unveiled
and
ultimately
the
city
council,
not
mr
lee
that
decides
how
this
money
is
going
to
be
budgeted,
as
happens
every
year
here
in
the
city.
Q
Mayor
hagerty
alderman
good
evening,
joe
roth,
north
shore,
barrington
association
of
realtors,
regarding
the
proposed
eviction
moratorium.
We're
going
to
ask
for
an
amendment
to
that,
and
our
goal
really
here
is
to
expedite
these
resolutions
for
the
benefit
of
tenants
and
landlords
alike.
As
written,
this
moratorium
takes
effect.
After
all
of
the
other
eviction
bans.
Q
We
believe
that
action
should
be
happening
sooner.
Housing
providers
shouldn't
be
learning
about
a
tenant's,
covid
19
impact
six
months
or
more
after
they
stop
paying
rent
instead.
Tenants
need
with
a
coveted
19
impact,
should
have
these
conversations
with
their
housing
providers
now
by
encouraging
these
actions
we'll
make
sure
that
all
of
this
doesn't
hit
mto
at
the
same
time
and,
more
importantly,
we'll
be
able
to
provide
access
to
financial
support
to
tenants
soon.
Q
You
know
one
possible
way
to
look
at
this
would
be
eliminating
this
seven
day
negotiating
period
or
waiving
it
under
certain
circumstances
where
the
the
tenant
has
prior
to
this
ordinance,
going
into
effect
tried
to
attempt
to
negotiate
some
sort
of
resolution.
Q
You
know,
maybe
even
limiting
that
to
where
they've
referred
it
to
mto
for
intervention
again
before
this
moratorium
goes
into
effect,
but
really
the
whole
point
of
it
is:
let's
get
these
groups
talking
together
now,
in
speaking
with
a
number
of
housing
providers,
I
think
they're
feeling
some
frustration
as
well
when
they
can't
when
they
can't
reach
attend
when
they
cannot
get
the
tenant
to
work
with
them
on
coming
together
and
solving
this
problem.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
joe,
and
I
know
alderman
fleming's
got
some
some
thoughts
and
response,
but
let's
wait
until
we
get
to
the
item
on
the
agenda
and
then
well,
I'm
sure
somebody
will
pull
it
off
and
we
can
have
that
discussion
and
we
may
call
on
you
then,
if
we
need
some
more
clarification
or
anything
next
up,
we've
got
doreen
price
and
then
mary
rozinski.
A
R
Hi
hi
mayor
and
council
and
everyone
else,
who's
listening
in
these
are
good
discussions.
So
thank
you,
the
what
kind
of
comes
together
for
me,
because
I
came
with
a
one
sentence
statement,
but
I
have
two
other
sentences:
I've
added
after
listening
to
what
chief
cruel
said
cole
said,
which
is
like
amazing,
I
I'm
so
impressed
with
what
she's
been
able
to
accomplish
and
her
desire
to
have
us
be
ready
for
disaster.
R
So
when
you
think
about
disasters,
you
think
of
trauma-
and
we
talk
about
police-
we're
wondering
about
trauma.
So
that's
how
this
all
comes
together
by
listening
to
what
people
have
said.
So
my
comment
started
out
with
s
regarding
sp1
and
given
the
trauma
experience
by
the
community.
Has
de-escalation
training
included,
trauma,
recognition
and
sensitivity
throughout
all
police
interactions,
but
when
you
think
about
it,
all
city
interactions
as
well
with
regard
to
the
city
manager,
can
we
can
we
look
specifically?
R
Besides
the
other,
you
know
increasing
input
from
the
residents,
but
can
we
look
specifically
at
sensitivity
to
trauma
and
social,
economic
disaster
readiness
and
remediation
again
thinking
of
chief
cole
remediation
committed
to
environmental
justice?
Considering
the
proclamation
and
well-being
so
actually
taking
a
more
proactive
approach
to
disasters,
because
they've
happened
in
the
past
and
will
happen
in
the
future,
which
leads
to
the
third
part
and
then
reserves
which
were
talked
about
initially
in
the
one-on-one
a
great
session
again
on
in
terms
of
information.
So
will
reserves
increase
to
support
social,
economic
and
environmental
justice
initiatives?
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Doreen
next
up
we've
got
mary
rosinski,
then
tina
payton,
then
renee
payton.
E
Hi,
how
are
you
doing?
Okay,
welcome.
Thank
you,
I'm
here
to
say
thanks
for
I'm
so
glad
we're
supporting
the
environmental
resolution.
That
is
great,
but
I'm
here
to
speak
on
sp2
economic
development
regarding
the
strategic
sale
of
owner
prop
own
property.
In
that
january.
Whenever
study,
I
feel
like
we
need
a
long-term
plan
for
comprehensive
pro
forma
financial
statements
before
we
buy
or
sell
any
real
estate
because
selling
our
real
estate
is
at
this
time.
Without
that
full
analysis
of
the
cost
and
benefits
is
not
a
well
thought
out.
E
E
We
need
to
stop
spending
money,
we
don't
have
and
moving,
and
we
have
to
need
to
stop
moving
forward
on
projects
without
the
adequate
funding
and
this,
and
I
think
that
this
idea
of
moving
to
downtown
and
selling
the
civic
center
without
a
entire
cost
benefit
analysis
is
not
a
good
idea.
E
It
reminds
me
very
much
of
how
we
got
ourselves
into
a
50
million
robber
crown
project
and
that's
costing
us
4
million
dollars
a
year
now,
because
we
started
out
on
a
20
million
a
year
project
on
that
which
would
have
been
about
a
million
four
to
two
million
dollar
project
debt
service
and
we
funded
the
whole
thing,
and
that
was
so
bad
and
we
could
have
thought
to
move
the
civic
center
and
incorporate
the
scenic
center
and
the
robert
crown
project
into
one
thing.
E
So
we
need
to
just
look
at
stuff
the
downtown
real
estate's,
the
most
expensive
real
estate
in
the
area.
So
if
anything
I
mean,
maybe
we
should
move
it
over
closer
to
areas
that
aren't
so
in
expensive.
E
So
I
just
want
us
to
be
more
fiscally
responsible
when
we're
making
our
decisions
and
don't
look
for
short-term
infusions.
I
appreciate
what
everyone
does.
I
know
it's
complicated,
but
I
think
this
town
is
filled
with
people
who
can
really
give
us
some
great
ideas
and
we
can
get
out
of
this
budget
hole
with
the
plan.
So,
thank
you
so
much
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
you
that's.
A
J
G
Here
I
think
she's
on
but
she's
on
via
phones.
He
had
star
six.
J
C
C
The
person
that
is
the
applicant
at
bz,
auto,
has
been
a
very
terrible
neighbor.
He's
never
come
to
speak
to
me
about
wanting
to
put
this
weed
dispensary
or
delivery
service
across
the
way.
I
thought
that
we
were
also
trying
to
be
fair
and
equitable
to
minorities,
black
people
that
have
applied.
C
I
also
want
to
make
a
comment
about
the
zoning
in
the
first
ward.
I
think
it's
very
unfair
that
that
you're,
considering
changing
the
zoning
for
alderman,
fisk
ward-
and
you
just
do
it
in
one
meeting
when
you
do
not
do
anything
about
the
zoning
in
the
fifth
ward
at
emerson
in
jackson.
C
I
have
people
that
don't
want
to
rent
because
it's
all
boarded
up
and
you
have
absentee
landlords
in
all
wards
and
how
is
it
there
that
the
first
war
gets
heard
and
they
get
privileged
right
away?
Is
this
because
they're
white
and
we're
black
and
we
do
not
get
any
justice?
No
justice,
no
peace,
black
lives
matter.
Please
hear
what
we
say.
Thank
you.
A
A
First
up
is
special
orders
of
business.
We
have
two
special
orders
of
business.
One
is
an
update
for
folks
on
the
90
day
use
of
force
pledge
that
I
made
and
the
other
is
an
update
on
the
economic
development
here
in
the
city
and
the
strategy.
Given
the
pandemic,
so
alderman
roose
simmons.
Would
you
mind
moving
for
discussion,
sp1.
D
Let's
hear
about
that
absolutely
sp1
staff
recommend
city
council
review
and
discuss
mayor
pagetty's
90-day
plan.
Excuse
me
90
day
plan
use
of
force
pledge
for
discussion.
A
Second,
all
right:
okay,
so
this
item
is
open
for
discussion,
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
everybody
an
update
on
this.
So
the
list
is
long
right.
Brianna
taylor,
george
floyd
jacob
blake,
most
recently.
A
I
signed
up
for
the
obama
foundation's
commitment
to
action
pledge
which
was
a
pledge
to
review
police
force,
use
of
use
of
force
policies
to
engage
our
communities
community
in
a
discussion
on
policing
and
use
of
force,
to
report
findings
back
to
the
community
and
then
to
work
to
reform
the
community's
use
of
force
policies
where,
where
we
are
now
is,
we
have
had
the
police,
take
a
look
at
the
use
of
force
policies,
and
I
know
right
away.
Some
people
say
well
wait
a
second.
They
aren't
the
ones.
A
We've
had
some
community
conversations
about
use
of
force
altogether.
We
had
nine
nine
topics
covered
in
our
use
of
four
or
excuse
me
in
our
policing
series
this
summer
in
july,
in
august,
covering
a
variety
of
topics
including
use
of
force
and
body
cameras,
training,
youth
and
our
police.
The
citizen
police
review
commission,
as
well
as
the
office
of
professional
standards
and
those
reviews,
calls
for
service
community
outreach
alternatives
to
arrest
alternative
policing
methods,
which
is
something
that
our
human
services
committee
has
also
been
looking
at.
A
As
well
as
the
police
budget,
so
we've
had
a
lot
of
conversations
that
people
have
tuned
into
and
have
been
a
part
of.
We
also
as
part
of
this
use
of
force
review,
had
an
outside
review
done
of
evanston's
use
of
force
policies,
and
I
want
to
thank
northwestern
university
in
the
institute
for
policy
research,
specifically
the
northwestern
neighborhood
and
network
initiative
who
reviewed
our
use
of
force
policies.
Pro
bono.
They
didn't
charge
our
city
anything
they
do
this
around
the
country.
A
So
we're
able
to
use
this
this
expertise
that
they
have
and
they've
produced
a
really
good
12-page
report.
The
report
just
came
out
recently,
the
chief
of
police
has
reviewed
it.
A
I
have
reviewed
this
report
in
turn
and
what
the
what
the
report
says
if
I
can
just
touch
on
a
couple
points
in
terms
of
use
of
force,
I
mean
interesting
things
for
people
to
know,
and
I've
asked
the
chief
to
look
for
the
2019
statistics
for
some
reason
they
weren't
in
here
in
2018,
evanston
police
department
used
force
27
times
the
incidents
with
the
highest
numbers
involved,
weaponless
impact
and
the
use
of
tasers
use
of
force
data
available
in
the
public
data
portal.
A
It
goes
back
to
2017
and
I
think
that
this
gets
to
a
point
that
one
of
our
public
commenters
made
about
there's
an
opportunity
for
the
city
to
do
a
better
job
in
providing
data
out
there
to
our
public
and
being
more
transparent,
and
that
is
one
thing
that
definitely
came
up
in
this
report
done
by
northwestern.
A
A
I
want
to
talk
just
quickly
about
questions
that
were
often
asked
that
have
come
up
because
of
what
we've
seen
around
the
country
in
evanston.
Our
use
of
force
does
not
include
using
choke,
holds
or
strangleholds.
Those
are
our
band
here
in
evanston
we
require
de-escalation
and
have
de-escalation
training
for
our
officers.
Here,
the
council
and
the
police
department
worked
on
that
quite
a
bit.
A
There
is
a
duty
to
intervene
if
an
officer
sees
another
officer
who
is
doing
something
that
is
excess
force
or
not
in
any
way
compliant
with
our
policies.
There
is
a
duty
and
an
expectation
to
intervene.
A
Our
offices
are
expected
to
use
a
force
continuum,
which
is
a
forced
continuum
that
restricts
the
most
severe
types
of
force
to
the
most
extreme
situations
and
creates
clear
policy
restrictions
on
the
use
of
each
police.
Weapon
and
tactic
officers
are
required
to
report
each
time
they
use
force
or
threaten
to
use
force
against
civilians.
A
The
recommendations
in
this
report
and
the
chief
again
has
seen
this
and
he's
here
to
answer
and
answer
any
questions
that
we
may
have
tonight,
but
I'm
going
to
make
a
recommendation
to
the
council
the
recommendations
that
they
made
was
required
that
officers
use
force
as
a
last
resort
that
we
basically
have
a
sanctity
of
life
principle
and
they
have
some
commentary
in
the
report
about
that.
Provide
a
clear
statement
on
policy
for
non-compliance,
make
it
very
clear
to
officers
if
you're
not
complying
with
our
policies.
A
A
What's
appro,
what's
appropriate,
you
know
objectively,
and
so
so
they
have
a
whole
section
on
that,
a
commitment
to
de-escalate
which
again
gets
back
to
proportionality.
A
A
Okay,
they
want
to
prohibit
the
use
of
force
on
any
restrained
person
all
right
and
again,
we
have
seen
that
too
often
around
the
country
where
somebody
is
handcuffed
and
then
there's
force
being
used
on
them.
So
they
want
a
specific
on
that
number:
seven
ensure
additional
protections
for
vulnerable
populations:
okay,
whether
that's
children,
the
elderly,
individual's
pre-existing
conditions,
mental
illness,
reinforce
the
need
to
provide
and
seek
medical
care
immediately
after
if
use
of
force
is
used
and
then
improving
data
collection
and
access
to
that
information
getting
to
accountability
and
oversight.
A
This
report,
as
I
mentioned
just,
was
completed
and
my
recommendation
to
the
council
council
and
the
chief
is
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
people
have
right
now.
The
purpose
of
this
pledge
and
everything
was
in
this
moment
of
time.
Every
municipality
ought
to
be
looking
at
their
use
of
force
and
saying
is
this
appropriate
for
our
community
standards
and
everything
else
and
honestly
for
human
decency
and
so
forth?
And
dignity?
Is
this
appropriate
and
then
it's
actually
to
you
know
make
reforms
make
you
make
improvements.
A
My
suggestion
is
that
this
be
place.
This
report
that
I'm
referring
to
be
placed
on
the
human
services
agenda
at
the
next.
You
know
appropriate
meeting
that
northwestern
researchers
that
were
involved
in
doing
this
come
before
the
human
services
committee
and
and
present
this,
that
the
council
and
the
police
chief
have
an
opportunity
at
that
meeting
to
discuss
in
more
details
when
you
have
a
chance
to
really
see
all
these
recommendations.
A
You
know
the
recommendations
and-
and
I
think
I
think
that's
a
good
next
step.
The
other
thing
that
I
think
I'm
thinking
of
doing
is
doing
another
police
series,
not
series
but
session
on
this
report.
Okay
for
the
public,
where
they
can
ask
questions
and
everything
else.
So
I'm
thinking
of
doing
that
as
well.
A
I
can
tell
you,
the
police
chief,
who
I've
been
working
closely
with,
is
very,
very
open
and
supportive
of
you
know
taking
a
serious
look
at
all
of
this.
Listening
to
these
recommendations,
listening
to
all
of
us
and
and
making
appropriate
changes
so-
and
I
have
the
chief
here-
if
anybody
has
any
questions
so
chief,
let
me
I
guess.
Let
me
just
ask
you:
is
there
anything
else
you
want
to
add
to
what
I
just
said
and
then
we'll
open
up
to
any
questions
or
comments?
Council
members
have.
T
Yes,
good
good
afternoon,
mayor
city
manager,
erica
storley,
kurt
reed
and
city
council,
the
evanston
police
department
has
been
proactive
in
looking
at
our
policy
because
we're
in
a
different
era
of
law
enforcement,
we're
in
the
post-george
ford
era
of
law
enforcement,
and
that
requires
everyone
in
america
to
be
vigilant
about
readdressing,
some
of
the
things
that
we
have
done
historically
for
years.
That
was
unfair
to
black
and
brown
people
and
that
has
caused
harm
throughout
america.
T
A
year
and
a
half
ago
we
developed
a
relationship
with
the
en3
policy
center
at
northwestern,
where
I
had
two
phd
students
from
northwestern
here
to
analyze
in
their
dissertation
how
the
police
interacted
with
the
public
and
that
that
basically
went
they
would
go
to
the
interactions
with
the
police
officer,
and
then
they
would
do
a
survey
after
the
incident
with
the
citizen
to
find
out
their
level
of
satisfaction
that
they
feel
the
police
officer
was
proper
in
his
retress
of
a
situation
from
there.
T
T
So
we
wanted
to
take
the
policy
review
outside
of
the
police
department
and
have
it
looked
at
by
an
independent
agency,
and
that
independent
agency
is
one
of
the
leading
universities
in
the
world
in
terms
of
policy,
research
and
american
law
enforcement,
and
we
were
able-
and
I'm
very
thankful,
that
we
were
able
to
get
our
our
policy
looked
at
by
such
esteemed
people
as
a
soledad
mcgrath
she's,
a
lawyer
there
andrew
popper,
christos
who's,
the
head
of
the
sociology
department
and
a
phd
student
by
the
name
of
jonathan
sun,
and
this
report
isn't
complete
yet
because
in
the
report
they
recommend
that
we
look
at
some
of
the
other
issues
that
pertain
to
the
use
of
force,
such
as
control
devices
and
techniques.
T
Officer-Involved,
shootings
firearms,
vehicle
pursuits
conducted
electrical
weapons
or
tasers,
as
most
people
know,
and
they
recommend
that
we
get
all
of
these
policies
in
sync,
with
the
recommendations
that
they
put
forth
and
what
is
more
importantly,
is
they
specify
that
we
should
have
some
public
input
in
addressing
some
questions.
You
know
this
is
a
very
astute
population
in
evanston
and
there
are
many
people
that
can
contribute
to
the
problem
solving
process
that
the
everson
police
department
is
currently
engaged
in.
T
So
I've
asked
the
mayor
if
you
know
if
he
would
consider
the
additional
question
and
answer
session,
whereas
we
can
get
that
phase
of
this
problem
solving
process
addressed
it's
a
lot
of
work
involved,
but
we
are
committed
to
doing
this.
And
if,
if
you
get
a
look
at
this
report,
the
re
the
n3
stated
that
evanston
has
a
solid
foundation,
a
use
of
force,
meaning
that
we
do
have
a
industry
standard
use
of
force
policy.
T
But
it's
not
post
george
floyd
and
you
know,
post
george
floyd
requires
us
to
look
at
how
we've
been
addressing
force
and
where
we
want
force
in
our
town
to
be
in
the
future.
So
I'm
committed
to
that
and
more
importantly,
you
know
I
agree
with
mr
weingarten.
You
know
I've
I'm
currently
looking
at.
T
There
must
be
a
way
for
us
to
extract
the
data
out
of
our
cad
system
and
our
rms
system
that
will
automatically
populate
the
variables
that
we
need
to
measure
for
public
consumption
without
us
having
to
put
it
in
and
the
reason
we
fell
behind
on.
T
That
is
because
you
know
the
young
lady,
that
was
managing
that
out
of
the
iit
department,
she's
out
on
maternity
leave
and
I'm
not
quite
sure,
if
she's
coming
back
or
not,
but
we're
looking
at
a
program
that
will
extract
the
data
into
our
dashboard
automatically
where
the
public
can
consume
that.
So
we
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
I'm
not
resistant
to
this
change.
It's
changed
it's
long
overdue
and
the
sanctity
of
life
is
the
most
important
thing
in
anything.
T
We
do
as
law
enforcement,
people's
lives
matter
and
it's
our
responsibility
to
utilize
force
that
is
commensurate
with
the
type
of
situation
they
may
be
in.
We
need
to
look
at
in
terms
of
our
discipline
how
the
officer
acted
from
the
inception
of
the
call
all
the
way
through
to
the
use
of
force,
not
just
the
use
of
force,
but
all
of
the
steps
he
took
to
de-escalate
that
situation.
T
A
I
thank
you
mayor
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
Thank
you
chief
and
one
thing
I
just
want
to
stress
to
everybody
of
the
council
and
anyone.
That's
watching
policies
are
one
thing
right
words
on
words
on
a
piece
of
paper
and
they're
important,
but
then
you
have
to
train
to
that.
You.
S
A
Exercise
against
that
you
have
to
monitor
and
manage
people
to
make
sure
they
are
are
conducting
themselves
in
accordance
with
policies.
Yes
mentioned,
and
that's
mentioned
in
this
report
too.
So
it's
a
good
report.
We
want
to
get
it
out
to
the
public.
My
suggestion
is
again:
we
put
it
into
the
human
services
committee,
which
is
where
all
of
our
policing
matters
go.
Alderman
wilson
did
you
have
something,
and
I
know
all
the
men's
fleming
has
their
hand.
U
Just
a
few
things
chief,
I
I
also
heard
you
speak
the
other
day
and
I
appreciate
the
the
idea
of
focusing
on
the
unsanctity
of
life
as.
U
As
I
think,
I'm
gonna
call
it
a
starting
point
mayor,
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
take
it
to
that
committee
so
that
we
can
get
some
more
information
out
to
the
public
and
community.
U
With
regard
to
the
policy
changes,
I
think
that
we
as
a
council
and
for
the
most
part
as
a
community,
are
not
only
receptive
to
these
changes
but
expecting
the
changes,
and
I
think
that's
great,
but
one
thing
I'd
like
to
see
as
we
go
through
the
process
of
implementation
is
to
make
sure
that
we're
educating
people
on
on
why
these
are
appropriate
and
important
changes
and
to
focus
on
the
fact
that
these
changes
are
going
to
result
in
a
safer
community.
U
There
are
people
on
social
media,
the
people
in
the
country,
people
all
around
who
are
attempting
to
take
efforts
in
making
these
changes
and
twist
them
into
something
that
they're
number
one
not
and
number
two
serving
as
tools
to
create
fear.
These
are
not
anything
to
be
fearful
of,
but
to
the
contrary,
these
are
these.
U
Are
policy
changes
that
we
are
undertaking
to
build
a
safer
community
and
and
to
protect
all
of
members
of
the
community,
and
I
just
would
like
to
see
whether
it's
the
m3
group
or
the
police
department
make
sure
that
we
include
that
component
in
discussing
that,
just
so
that
everybody's
clear
on
these
things.
Thank
you.
V
If
you
could
bring
to
human
services
kind
of
what
the
definition
of
use
of
force
is,
I
think
it
continues
when
I
speak
to
people
and
they're
frustrated
with
the
police
they're,
not
necessarily
telling
me
about
you,
know
these
these,
these
life
or
death
threats
right
they're,
not
necessarily
talking
about
a
gun
being
pulled
or
tased
they're.
Talking
about
these
very
slight
things
that
happen
to
them
when
they're
stopped
when
they
feel
like
you
know,
particularly
our
african-american
community,
they
feel
like
you
know,
they
are
stopped
for
no.
V
They
are
spoken
to
in
a
certain
way.
As
you
know,
I've
been
there
to
watch
plenty
of
police
video.
There
are
times
when
I
know
our
policies
are
not
broken,
but
I
can
definitely
understand
with
why
a
complaint
was
written
and
why
people
are
frustrated.
So
I
think,
as
I
already
said,
you
know,
policies
are
great
and
I'm
always
for
improving
our
policies,
but
if
we
are
not
implementing
them,
if
people
are
not
being
disciplined,
if
we're
not
tracking
correctly,
it
doesn't
really
make
a
difference.
V
What's
on
the
paper,
when
we
have
officers
out
in
the
street
and
people
feel
frustrated
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
I
will
say
chief,
you
know
you
and
I
have
talked,
I
think
you've
done,
in
my
opinion,
a
better
job
than
our
last
commander
in
terms
of
disciplining
officers
and
really
watching
those
things
and
really
trying
to
correct
for
those
things.
But
as
we
know,
we
have
a
way
to
go,
and
it's
really
unfortunate
that
in
2020
it's
taken
the
really
public,
painful
death
of
a
man
on
tv
for
us
to
now
decide.
V
We
need
to
look
at
these
things.
I
think
and
ashamed
on
us
as
a
nation,
but
you
know
there's
many
more
questions.
I
have
that
I'll
address
in
human
services
when
the
report
comes
out
a
mayor.
Hopefully
when
you
have
that
conversation,
if
it's
before
human
services,
you
can
let
people
know
there'll
be
a
further
discussion
there,
so
they
continue
to
participate
for
those
who
can't
get
on
facebook.
But
I'm
really
interested
in
us
digging
down
into
these.
V
Police
officer,
and
the
last
thing
I'll
comment
on
is
that
duty
to
him
intervene,
which
we
know
is
big
in
the
george
floyd
case
and
as
you
know,
ottoman
and
sufferer
and
I
came
to
watch
a
video
had
a
very
good
conversation
with
you
about
that
body.
Cam
video
and
I
would
just
like
to
think
that
even
that
type
of
behavior
by
one
of
our
officers
is
something
that
someone
else
is
going
to
intervene
in
right
and
it's
not.
That
has
to
go
to
a
deadly
force
kind
of
situation.
V
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
conversation,
thank
you
for
acknowledging
cnp
and
their
call
for
more
data
and
helping
to
explain
why
that's
not
accurate
I'll,
be
keeping
up
with
that
as
well.
To
make
sure
our
numbers
reflect,
you
know
whatever
they
need
to
reflect
in
terms
of
from
state
or
from
whatever
cad
system,
and
I
think
rps
that
you
mentioned,
that
those
numbers
are
readily
available
on
the
dashboard
we
created
and
we
don't
have
to
wait
for.
V
T
This
policy
review-
if
I
may
mayor
you
know
it's
for
the
safety
of
the
public
as
well
as
as
a
police
officer.
You
know,
I
think
my
predecessor
chief
editor,
did
a
great
job
in
terms
of
the
the
quality
of
police
officer.
We
have.
T
T
That
is,
but
I
can't
say
that
we
do
recognize
as
managers
here
that
and
looking
at
what's
coming
down
through
perth
the
justice
and
policing
act,
the
john
jay
senator
criminal
justice,
noble
international
organization
of
black
law
enforcement
executive,
it's
gonna
be
concrete
change
that
will
be
put
forth
across
all
of
america,
so
we're
getting
a
head
start
on
what
is
needed
and
I'm
sure
it'll
be
more
added
once
the
policy
is
legislated
in
congress
and
in
the
house.
T
So
I
appreciate
everybody
in
this
town
that
has
a
perspective
and
I
respect
everyone's
perspective.
But
I'm
here
to
give
you
a
professional
opinion
and
that's
what
I
promise
to
do
and
thank
you
very.
A
Much
thank
you.
Thank
you
chief,
and
I
do
know
that
the
police
department
in
city
council
did
do
a
look
at
use
of
force
after
and
made
changes
after
the
lawrence
crosby
incident.
So
you
know
it
has
you
know
these
things
don't
happen
and
we
just
ignore
them.
A
I
think
we
keep
trying
to
look
at
them
and
make
sure
we've
got
policies
that
are
are
safe
for
our
officers,
safe
for
the
public
and
respectful
of
the
public,
any
other
other
questions
or
comments
on
this,
so
we're
going
to
move
to
economic
development
next
on
the
agenda
all
right,
so
thank
thank
you.
Chief.
A
Thank
you,
aldermen
that
have
the
questions
and
stuff
this
will
I'm
asking
the
city
manager
if
she
will
put
work
with
the
chair
of
human
services
and
figure
out
the
right
meeting
to
put
this
on
the
agenda,
and
the
report
that
we
referenced
here
will
be
made
public
for
everyone
to
to
see
and
discuss
all
right.
Next
up,
let's
see
alderman
fleming,
could
you
introduce
your
move
sp2,
please.
V
P2,
which
is
economic
development,
update
and
strategy
staff,
is
seeking
seeks
to
provide
city
council
with
an
update
on
economic
climate
in
evanston
prior
to
enduring
colgate
19..
This
is
for
option
to
accept
and
place
on
file.
A
H
Thank
you
very
much.
I
have
asked
staff
to
put
together
the
report
that
you
see
in
your
packet
this
evening
and
also
to
provide
a
presentation
this
evening
for
us
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
the
current
environment
that
we're
experiencing
after
the
onset
of
the
pandemic.
You
know
not
knowing
how
long
this
may
last
and
not
knowing
how
many
of
our
businesses
will
be
able
to
make
it
throughout
the
course
of
this
pandemic
is
something
that's
very
concerning
to
myself
the
staff,
the
city
council
and
the
community.
H
What
makes
evanston
unique
and
special
is
not
just
our
residents
and
our
amazing
parks
and
amenities,
but
also
the
quality
of
our
small
businesses
and
the
diversity
that
they
represent.
So
it's
really
critical
that
we
figure
out
ways
to
support
our
businesses
and
provide
a
climate
to
which
they
can
succeed.
H
This
is
going
to
be
important
now
more
than
ever,
because
every
little
bit
helps
so
so
far.
The
city
council
has
made
really
progressive
decisions
and
supports
that
have
been
provided
to
the
businesses
to
help
alleviate
some
of
the
conditions
that
have
been
placed
on
them
and
they've
been
able
to
operate
very
creatively
and
we
hope
to
help
them
continue
to
do
that
for
some
time.
But
it's
also
important
to
be
not
only
optimistic
but
realistic
and
realistically
we
will
have
some
big
challenges
in
the
next
12
to
18
months.
H
A
lot
of
the
federal
programs
that
are
providing
support
to
businesses
will
run
out,
and
then
we
will
have
some
some
businesses
that
will
probably
not
be
able
to
make
it.
So
in
that
spirit,
I've
asked
paul
zomzack
our
economic
development
manager
and
paulina
martinez,
our
interim
deputy
deputy
city
manager
and
katie
bonan,
our
economic
development
specialist.
H
To
present
this
presentation
this
evening
to
give
the
council
and
the
community
an
idea
of
what
was
happening
before
we
came
to
be
where
we
are
now
and
what
we
can
expect
coming
over
the
course
of
the
next
year
and
some
suggestions
for
some
policy
decisions
and
other
things
that
we
can
do
to
help
support
our
business
climate
within
the
city
of
evanston.
So
with
that,
I
will
hand
it
over
to
paul.
W
H
T
A
S
X
X
X
X
I
apologize
for
that
rough
start.
This
has
not
been
a
problem
to
today,
so
I
apologize
for
that.
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
before
we
start
this
presentation
that
this
kind,
intended
to
be
a
comprehensive
plan
itself,
really
meant
to
be
an
introduction
to
what
you
know.
X
The
initial
steps
that
we
needed
to
take
and
there's
going
to
be
people
that
I've
forgotten
to
mention
this
evening
or
there's
gonna,
be
ideas
that
I've
I've
not
shared
or
there's
gonna,
be
concepts
or,
or
certain
aspects
of
a
complete
redevelopment
plan
that
will
be
overlooked
tonight,
and
we
are
just
introducing
this.
This
work
needs
to
be
done
in
committees.
It
needs
to
be
done
in
the
public.
It
needs
to
be
done
with
a
lot
of
thought.
X
This
is
an
introduction,
just
stressing
that
I
also
want
to
thank
katie,
bowden,
paulina
martinez
and
my
team
for
helping
put
this
together.
There's
a
lot
of
work
that
went
into
this.
I
also
want
to
highlight
our
our
partners
in
our
special
service
areas:
annie
coakley,
catherine
godzick,
laura
brown
and
also
gina
speckman
of
the
visitors
and
defensive
bureau.
X
Finally,
roger
sosa
okay,
so
of
the
emerson
chamber
of
paulina,
you
can
start
rolling
the
presentation.
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
so
I
want.
I
want
to
focus
on
four
things.
I
think
we
are
going
to
recover,
but
we
need
an
active
intervention.
X
This
isn't
going
to
happen
without
state
council
and
the
community
actively
involved,
and
I
think
we've
done
a
good
job
to
date.
Considering
we've
had
the
mayor's
coveted
business
task
force
and
all
the
work
leading
up
to
this
very
moment
and
and
we'll
share
with
you
shortly
some
of
the
things
that
we've
done
to
help
businesses,
we
think
stay
afloat,
they're
they're,
certainly
not
safe.
X
There's,
there's
a
lot
of
fear
out
there,
but
we
think
we've
done
some
things
to
keep
things
pretty
stable.
So
the
four
things
I
want
to
highlight
throughout
this
presentation
are:
we
are
kind
of
in
the
calm
before
the
storm
that
financial
assistance
has
helped
it's
stabilized,
but
things
are
going
to
get
worse
and
we
need
to
continue
to
think
about
how
we
continue
to
support
our
businesses.
X
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we're
calling
the
retail
apocalypse.
That's
not
something
I
coined
that's
a
common
phrase,
this
these
business
closures
happened
and
were
happening
before
kovitt
and
they'll
continue
to
happen.
Covet
19,
as
we
all
know,
when
we've
read
about,
is
exposing
economic
and
health
inequities.
X
The
the
black
and
brown
community
has
suffered
greatly
and
we
need
to
think
bigger
picture
about
how
we
create
a
economic
program
that
really
focuses
on
economic
well-being,
not
just
economic
growth,
and
then
evanston
will
recover
with
an
active,
creative
and
collaborative
solution
and
we'll
get
to
that.
So
bye.
X
X
Are
we
on
the
next
slide?
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
point
out
on
this
slide
that
this
is
not
the
first
time
we
you
know
this
is
the
human
humans
have
gone
through
this
before
right
so
on
this
particular
ad
talks
about
people
who
are
in
quarantine
are
not
isolated,
that
they
have
a
bell
telephone
right.
We've
got
people
in
mass,
we've
got
the
barber
shop.
X
This
is
what
my
barber
shop
looks
like
and
noise,
and
the
point
is
we've
been
here:
we've
done
it
we're
not
going
to
be
on
zoom
calls
like
we've
not
been
on
belt
telephones
forever.
That's
not
our
first
pandemic.
It
won't
be
our
last
we'll
we'll
get
through
it
and
again
I'm
not
understating
we're
going
to
get
through
it.
It's
going
to
be
a
tough
road.
X
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
we've
been
there
before
and
and
we're
going
to
get
through
it
and
when
we're
when
we're
through
it.
These
shifts
that
we're
seeing
in
the
short
term
are
hopefully
not
going
to
be
permanent.
There's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of,
I
guess
journalism
or
kind
of
it's
click
bait.
In
a
way,
we're
reading
stories
about
how
everybody's
moving
into
the
suburbs,
far
out
and
they're,
building
home
offices
or
they're
living
in
rural
areas,
we're
going
to
be
permanently
working
remote.
X
Slide
so
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
covet
impact
and
again
I
want
to
stress
before
I
leave
that
slide,
that
that
we
are,
we,
as
human
beings
are
meant
to
be
together
and
to
work
together
and
collaborate
isolating
in
my
bedroom
office
at
8.
49
is
not
something
that's
going
to
to
be
with
us
for
the
long
term.
It
just
isn't
so
part
one
of
this
presentation,
the
covet
impacts
on
the
current
economy.
So
where
are
the
customers?
X
Obviously
their
social
distancing?
That's
really
caused
a
reduced
street
life.
Transit
ridership's
down.
Customers
are
not
at
shops
and
restaurants
anecdotally,
but
consistently
we're
hearing
that
restaurants
and
retailers
are
50.
X
The
revenues
are
down
50
percent
compared
to
last
year
and
that's
that's
kind
of
like
a
good
level.
I
mean
there
are
some
really
excellent
performers
who
haven't
haven't
seen
a
downturn
at
all,
but
they've
been
working
really
hard,
but
most
saying
it's
50
last
year
some
are
saying
it's
less
and
they're
struggling,
and
you
know
part
of
that
is
half
the
student
body
is
gone.
X
There's
a
ton
of
layoffs,
and
you
know
our
office
buildings
in
downtown
evanston
they're,
not
returning
until
spring
of
2021.,
I
should
say
they're
not
returning
before
spring
of
2020..
X
So
when
you
have
a
decreased
daytime
population
that
severely
diminishes
our
daytime
office
population,
there
just
isn't
people
to
support
all
of
our
businesses
and
we're
starting
to
see
a
little
bit
of
an
uptick
in
closures.
X
I
don't
want
to
hang
on
this
too
long,
but
it's
just
a
reminder
that
evanston
is
indeed
a
college
town.
Sometimes
we
forget
that
sometimes
we
don't
believe
it
whatever.
It
is.
Whatever
the
reasons
are,
we
often
don't
recognize
the
fact
that
it
is
a
college
town
or
we're
a
college
town
and
really
right
now
we're
seeing
the
impact
in
our
hotels.
X
Our
hotels
are
not
seeing
the
the
bodies
that
they're
used
to
seeing
there's
a
lack
of
athletics
and
other
things
and
our
local
coffee
shops.
Restaurants,
don't
have
the
kids
studying.
So
that's
a
you
know,
that's
a
major
change.
You
don't
see
the
vitality
that
you
normally
would
so
those
college,
kids,
the
staff
and
then
they
supplement
all
those
daytime
office
workers
next
slide,
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
paulina.
W
First
and
foremost,
evanston
is
still
a
desirable
place
to
live,
and
that
is
not
something
that
we
as
staff
stay,
but
we
consistently
rank
as
one
of
the
most
desirable
communities
to
live
across
the
nation
in
various
magazines
and
risks
we
are
also.
We
are
also
in
an
enviable
position
as
a
as
a
suburb.
Sorry,
in
terms
of
public
transportation,
we
are
the
cta,
the
metra
pace
that
connects
us
to
a
world-class
economic
engine
like
chicago
into
talent
and
other
resources
and
assets.
W
Also
housing,
housing,
a
renowned
education
and
healthcare
institutions
such
as
northwestern
and
the
three
hospitals
that
we
have
in
a
community
of
7
500,
attract
a
well-educated
workforce
and
provide
us
with
access
to
some
of
the
brightest
minds,
as
well
as
other
basic
services
that
feed
into
all
of
our
eight
plus
business
districts
that
we
have
in
evanston
that
support
our
hotels
and
contribute
to
a
load.
Unemployment
rate
that
we
had
pre-clove
at
19..
W
So
we
have
to
go
through
it
to
get
right.
The
spider-strong
economy
prior
to
covet
19,
the
economic
distress
that
we
are
experiencing
is
just
starting.
Although
far
we
have
not
experienced
as
many
business
failures
as
we
first
feared,
we'll
likely
see.
An
increase
of
this
is
closing
during
the
winter
months,
especially
if
federal
assistance
does
not
come
through.
Some
of
the
efforts
we
will
see
include
a
consistent
sorry.
W
Some
of
the
impacts
that
we
will
see
is
includes
high
unemployment
rates,
higher
vacancy
rates
throughout
our
business
districts
and
diminished
tax
revenues,
among
others.
W
As
you
can
see
in
this
slide,
throughout
2019,
we
had
a
pretty
consistent
low
unemployment
rate
that
averaged
three
percent.
At
the
beginning
of
2020,
we
actually
had
an
unemployment
rate
as
low
as
two
percent,
but
as
soon
as
the
shelter
in
place
order
came
into
effect,
our
unemployment
rate
is
skyrocketed.
W
It
directly
to
13
as
of
july
2020.
Our
unemployment
rate
is
at
10
percent
in
terms
of
vacancy
rates.
As
of
september,
2nd
2020,
we
have
an
8.2
percent
vacancy
rate
city-wide
and
a
13.4
vacancy
rate
downtown
just
for
comparison
in
2019.
W
W
Since
2000
since
january
2020
for
business
openings
and
closings,
we
continue
to
see
the
business
cycle
play
out.
W
W
As
you
can
see
during
the
first
quarter
of
the
of
the
year,
most
of
our
tax
revenues
were
down.
However,
it
is
worth
mentioning
that
the
reporting
and
the
collection
is
usually
delayed.
W
However,
for
2020
the
economic
development
division
did
waive
all
fees
for
for
business
registration,
which
accounts
to
approximately
twenty
five
thousand
dollars.
At
this
point,.
W
One
of
the
worst
effects
of
the
pandemic
has
been
the
extra
heart
impact
it
has
had
on
minority
populations,
especially
our
black
populations.
W
I
am
sure
that
most
of
us
have
seen
the
alarming
headlines
about
the
increase
in
equities
that
this
pandemic
has
further
highlighted
with
with
our
black
and
brown
populations,
although
we
do
not
have
exact
numbers
for
evanston.
At
this
point,
research
from
the
economic
policy
institute
reveals
that
in
illinois
alone,
in
the
second
quarter,
unemployment
was
approximately
20
percent
for
our
black
population.
W
This
statistic
is
compounded
by
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
our
minority
populations
are
usually
relegated
to
low
wage
and
service
jobs,
so
most
of
those
jobs
have
either
been
eliminated
or
they
are
consid
consider
essential,
which
also
places
these
populations
at
a
higher
risk
of
contacting
kovid
19.
W
So
what
have
we
done
about
it?
As
a
municipality?
We've
tried
to
address
some
of
the
issues
and
provide
some
temporary
relief
for
our
businesses.
We
have
implemented
a
couple
different
programs,
including
amendment
amending
the
guidelines
to
the
entrepreneurship
support
program
and
calling
it
emergency
entrepreneurship
emergency
assistance
program.
W
If
the
grants
that
are
going
to
the
city
council
tonight
for
approval
are
all
approved,
then
that
means
that
we
have
granted
a
total
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
assistance,
fifty
thousand
dollars
that
were
originally
allocated
for
this
program
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
In
addition
to
fifty
thousand
additional
fifty
thousand
dollars
that
came
from
the
local
employment
program
accounts,
we
also
have
supported
lent
with
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
zero
percent
interest
micro
loans.
W
Through
the
cares
act,
we
have
the
newly
the
new
the
new
program
called
the
covet
19
micro
enterprise
grant.
That
will
be
accepting
applications
until
tomorrow,
which
also
comes
with
technical
assistance
for
our
businesses
and
and
lastly,
we
have
also
partnered,
with
with
institutions
such
as
the
kellogg's
school
of
management,
to
provide
pro
bono
consulting
for
our
business
community
and
I'll
pass
it
on
to
paul.
X
Okay,
thanks
thanks
paulina
and
again
for
those
watching
on
the
zoom
that
that
is
not
a
halo
ceranium.
I
had
that,
unfortunately,
is
my
bedroom
ceiling
fan
and
I'm
dealing
with
my
technology,
the
best
I
can
so
if
we
can
move
on
on
to
the
next
slide,
I
want
to
talk
about
the
retail
restructuring
and
quickly
get
through
this,
so
we
can
get
to
our
recommendations.
X
So
the
retail
apocalypse
really
began
before
coven
19..
We
saw
that
in
downtown
evanston,
with
the
loss
of
gap
barnes
and
noble,
and
over
the
years
he
had
joseph
a
banks
and
and
and
some
of
those
other
businesses
on
sherman
when
I
started
nine
years
ago
almost
to
the
day-
and
that
was
that's
really
rooted
in
a
few
three
three
key
facets
of
the
restructuring
economy.
You
got
a
fast
fashion
mindset
a
shift
to
athleisure,
which
is
yoga
pants
and
sweatpants,
and
I
know
that
sounds
silly,
but
that's
that's.
X
What's
happened
and
there's
also
the
e-commerce
so
with
fast
fashion.
You've
got
a
really
quick
fashion
cycle.
People
want
cheaper
clothing
and
they
want
it
quickly.
They
want
the
seasons
to
ch.
It's
no
longer
tied
to
seasons,
they're,
expecting
new
clothing
on
a
regular
basis.
You
see
the
rise
of
h,
m
and
other
stores
like
that,
and
it
makes
the
reason
I'm
bringing
this
up
because
it
changes
the
rent
structure
at
businesses
or
sorry
at
shopping
malls
and
in
downtown
storefronts.
X
You
can't
you
can't
rent
an
expensive
space
when
you're
selling,
10
and
20
shirts,
so
so
that's
been
a
major
change
as
as
with
athleisure.
Let's
go
to
the
next.
Thank
you.
E-Commerce
is
here
to
stay.
X
It's
18
of
total
resale,
I'm
sorry
retail
sales
this
year
or
generally,
and
then
it's
it's
increased
30
percent
this
year
over
last
because
of
of
covet
and
social
distancing,
people
are
not
going
into
stores.
So
again
it
accounts
for
18
of
total
retail
sales,
meaning
there's
still
that
72
percent
is
done
at
bricks
and
mortar.
But
the
point
here
is
that
it's
it's
grown
a
lot
this
year.
Let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
X
And
then,
as
you
can
see
from
this
chart,
millennials
are
big
online
shoppers
and
then
it
kind
of
it
it
drops
off
as
the
generations
age.
So
what
this
is
telling
you,
if
you
flip
it
around
as
as
millennials
and
gen
xers,
continue
to
age,
it
means
more
and
more
of
shopping
and
including
their
kids.
More
and
more
shopping
is
going
online
next
slide.
X
So,
instead
of
following
our
kind
of
traditional
guidelines
where
we
really
buy
into
like
the
shop
small
or
shop
local,
we
tend
to
try
to
get
people
in
the
shopping,
local
or
shopping
at
bricks
and
mortar.
We
need
to
really
shift
to
having
people
think
about
shopping,
unique
or
seeking
experiences,
but,
more
importantly,
we
need
to
partner
with
our
special
service
areas
and
our
other
partners
to
help
our
local
businesses
adapt
to
and
adopt
e-commerce,
and
that's
kind
of
like
a
technical
assistance
program.
X
It's
it's
getting
people
on
board,
it's
warming
them
up
to
that,
and
we've
started
that
we
we've
started
a
program
with
some
of
the
cdbg
cv,
money
and
yeah
how
it
goes.
But
it's
time
we
think
to
do
that
and
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
start
that,
can
we
go
to
the
next
slide?
X
I
want
to
get
into
some
recommended
actions.
I'm
suggesting
and
we're
suggesting
that
recovery
and
the
restructuring
is
going
to
require
require
some
serious
leadership
and
creativity.
We
need
to
align
our
operations
and
policies
to
help
stabilize
the
local
economy
and
expand
revenues.
We
need
to.
You
know
we're
saying
that
we
need
to
reduce
the
physical
footprint
of
city,
administrative
offices,
so
we're
able
to
provide
the
highest
level
of
service
to
our
constituents
and
have
lower
expenses
on
the
administrative
side.
X
We
need
to
we're
recommending
that
we
need
to
shift
our
development
mindset
from
a
growth
mindset
to
more
of
an
economic
well-being
mindset,
and
we
started
that
and
alderman
simmons
knows
this.
She
pushed
us
hard
to
start
a
financial
wellness
program
and
we're
partnering
with
first
northern
credit
union
to
do
that.
But
that's
that's
just
one
tiny
step.
We
need
to
think
about
how
we're
we
as
a
community,
are
doing
from
an
economic
perspective
and
then,
finally,
we
need
to
really
support
our
greatest
asset
that
we
have.
X
Our
physical
space,
we
have
a
beautiful
community,
a
beautiful
lakefront,
a
beautiful
campus,
beautiful
housing.
We
need
to
prioritize
our
built
environment
and
focus
on
that
improving
permit
processes
and
technologies,
a
stronger
design,
review
standards,
mobility,
alternatives
and
then
work
with
our
colleague
kumar
and
his
team
to
really
work
on
sustainability
standards.
Next
slide,
as
alluded
to
a
public
comment
where
economic
development
staff
is,
is
continuing
to
recommend
that
we
review
the
jll
report
that
was
printed
to
the
city
council
on
april
27th.
X
You
talk
about
the
sale
and
consolidation
of
city-owned
property.
We
think
we
have
some
valuable
property
that
could
be
used
in
a
different
way
and
revenues
from
those
sales
could.
Both,
you
know,
shift
us
into
a
different
facility
in
downtown,
which
we
think
provides
the
greatest
economic
impact,
because
it
provides
additional
ability
to
spend
lunch
money
do
shopping
during
during
lunch,
break
things
like
that,
there's
a
there's,
a
multiplier
effect
that
happens
and
let's,
let's
not
hang
too
much
on
this
one.
X
X
Okay,
economic
development
model-
again
this
this
is
going
to
require
more
than
a
a
breezy
six
point
slide,
and
I
I
really
want
to
work
with
the
economic
development
committee
and
other
committees
of
the
city
council
to
work
through
this,
but
we
should
be
focusing
on
the
economic
well-being
of
evanstonians
and
less
about,
and
we
haven't
done
a
ton
of
this,
but
less
about
business
growth
through
business
attraction
or
that
kind
of
growth.
We're
talking
about
developing
our
workforce,
we're
talking
about.
X
Let's
identify
our
unemployed
population
that
is
somewhere
in
the
range
if
we
believe
the
bureau
of
labor
statistics
around
four
thousand.
It's
four
thousand
people
in
edinson
just
a
few
months
ago
it
was
around
a
thousand
which
again
his
heart
is
hard
to
really
believe
when
you're
at
that
low
of
a
level
you're
really
at
full
employment.
X
Generally
speaking,
we
need
to
emphasize
affordable
housing
as
an
economic
challenge
and
less
about
land
use.
In
our
opinion,
it
should
be
less
about
how
many
units
can
you
you
know?
Can
you
get
a
developer
to
provide
or
more
about?
X
Let's
have
a
strategic
economic
plan
that
that
looks
at
affordable
housing
as
an
economic
challenge
for
developers
and
then,
let's
take
a
look
at
consolidating
some
of
our
economic
development
activities
that
are
occurring
in
a
number
of
divisions
and
then
finally,
taking
a
look
at
a
comprehensive
land
use
and
economic
plan
and
maybe
convening
a
public-private
partnership
kind
of
getting
into
an
independent
economic
development
council
kind
of
model.
If
we.
X
Slide,
I'm
going
to
challenge
myself
and
my
team
to
spend
a
little
time
with
this
particular
model.
That's
I
stumbled
upon
it
on
freakonomics
podcast,
but
it's
the
ray
worth
donut
economic
model,
I'm
tempted
to
say
something
about
venisons,
but
I'm
not,
but
it's
really
about
keeping
the
population
in
that.
X
On
my
slide,
it's
a
lighter,
green
keeping
them
in
that
a
safe
and
just
face
for
humanity
zone
where
we're
solid
social
foundation,
but
we're
keeping
within
an
ecological
ceiling,
so
we're
not
we're
not
being
environmentally
harmful
and
we're
keeping
people
on
a
foundation
of
education,
jobs,
social
equity,
affordable
housing
and
the
like.
So
I
really
want
to.
I
want
to
challenge
myself
and
my
team
to
spend
some
time
with
this
particular
model
and
see
how
we
can
apply
it
in
the
way
we
think
about
economic
development
and
understand.
Okay,
next
slide,
please.
X
X
I
snuck
a
little
drawing
of
paris
in
there
because
we
always
like
to
compare
ourselves
to
big
cities,
and
why
not?
I
think
we
could
do
a
better
job
with
some
of
our
streetscape
standards.
I've
been
talking
about
this
for
years.
X
If
anybody
went
up
to
the
botanic
part
of
last
year
and
experienced
that
light
festival
during
a
christmas
holiday
during
that
winter
holiday
it
it
was
pretty
magical,
and
I
think
we
could
do
smaller
versions
of
that
right
in
fountain
square,
but
I
don't
get
too
hung
up
on
programming,
but
the
point
is,
I
think
we
can
do
things
like
this-
that
enhance
downtown
evans
in
our
business
districts
in
ways
that
you
might
not
get
at
a
shopping
center.
That's
my
point
next
slide.
X
Please.
We
need
to
address
this
as
soon
as
possible,
and
I,
if
I
recall
we,
we
do
have
a
draft
coming
to
city
council.
Soon,
we
can't
have
what
I
have
in
that
circle.
The
line
through
it
is
brown
paper,
peeling
off
windows
and
fading
in
the
sun.
X
X
But
if
you
look
at
two
real
world
examples
here,
palm
house
on
howard
street
did
a
fantastic
job
covering
their
windows
during
this
during
this
construction
project
and
by
the
way,
if
you
haven't
stuck
your
head
in
that
building,
you
should
wait
until
you
see
what's
going
on
there.
It's
really
amazing,
but
that
particular
storefront
looks
awesome.
We
should
be
doing
that
with
all
of
our
vacant
stores.
We
should
not
allow
vacant
or
sorry
empty,
storefront
displays
or
random
things
in
the
windows.
X
We
need
to
have
an
intentional
storefront
look
and
I'm
sorry
I'm
hanging
on
the
slide
a
little
bit,
but
I
think
it's
really
important,
because
if
it
looks
better,
if
it
has
art,
if
it
has
messaging,
then
it's
showing
that
we're
being
proactive
and
people
will
still
want
they'll
still
enjoy
walking
in
downtown,
maybe
to
grab
a
coffee
or
something
to
eat
and
still
have
a
nice
environment.
Okay,
next
slide.
X
So
I
again,
this
is
one
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
collaborating
with
my
my
colleagues
in
planning
and
zoning.
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
some
land
use
policies.
Take
a
look
at
some
neighborhood
plans.
You
know
alderman
breithwaite
and
all
the
member
of
simmons
we've
talked
for
some
time
about
that
west,
evanston
overlay
and
how
that
might
be
impacting
development.
We
should
probably
take
a
look
at
that.
X
X
I
think
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
a
way
to
think
of
creating
a
what
I
call
like
a
high
street
or
a
retail
node
right
on
sherman
and
try
to
concentrate
the
dwindling
retail,
and
maybe
that
will
help
support
it.
You
have
an
anchor
it
with
target.
Pensy
spices
is
opening
across
the
street.
There
are
a
few
anchors
left.
The
bookstore,
bookends
and
beginnings
is
expanding
onto
sherman
into
a
storefront,
so
we'll
have
that
concentration
of
retail,
but
there's
a
way
that
we
can
come
up
with
some
codes
to
encourage
that.
X
So
you
have
that
solid
line
of
retail
bound,
sherman
and
secondary
uses
along
the
east
west
streets
and
orington
and
benson,
and
then
I
already
talked
about
some
code
changes
for
ground
floor
uses
next
slide.
Are
we
on
key
takeaways?
Yes,
so
this
is
a
summary
I
just
wanna.
I
want
to
just
leave
on
some
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
be
the
key
takeaways
again
we're
calm
before
the
storm.
The
next
few
months
are
going
to
be
really
tricky.
X
I
think
there's
going
to
be
an
increase
in
failures,
we're
hearing
a
little
bit
more
from
businesses
who
are
really
struggling.
Unicorn
cafe
announced
today
that
they're
closing
the
stimulus
is
gone
and
there's
nothing
in
the
pipeline,
so
the
expectation
should
be
that
you're
going
to
see
more
of
this,
despite
all
the
work
that
we're
all
doing,
including
all
the
hard
work
that
our
businesses
are
doing
to
try.
X
So
keep
that
in
mind.
It's
going
to
get
worse
before
it
gets
better.
Coven
19
is,
of
course,
you've
heard
this
in
your
budget
meetings.
It's
impacting
city
revenues,
which
ultimately
impacts
service
delivery.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
keeping
evanston
a
great
place
to
live,
and
that
includes
the
services
we
provide
as
a
city
next
slide.
Please.
X
Sorry
about
that
kobe
19
is
expediting,
retail
apocalypse
didn't
cause
it,
but
it's
making
it
making
some
of
the
retailers
close
faster.
I
don't
want
to
hang
on
that
anymore,
but
that
is
a
fact
and
we
need
to
make
sure
we
educate
our
community
and
the
consumers
in
evanston
that
that
is
what's
happening.
We
have
a
strong
competitor
in
old
orchard.
I
I
went
there
a
lot
just
to
get
a
sense
for
what's
going
on
and
from
what
I
could
see,
every
in-line
store,
maybe
except
for
two
or
three
were
occupied.
X
It's
you
know
there
are
one
or
two
department
stores
that
are
closed
and
they'll
be
redeveloped
at
some
point,
but
all
those
in-line
stores,
including
a
new
amazon,
four-star
store,
they're
open
and
there
are
people
shopping.
So
it's
a
restructuring
and
we
we
are
only
downtown
evans-
is
only
three
and
a
half
miles
from
that.
Want
to
reiterate
that
and
the
way
retailers
look
at
things,
that's
where
they
want
to
be
it's
in
the
center
of
a
market
area.
It's
easy
for
evanstonians
to
get
there.
X
It's
easy
generally
for
the
students
to
get
there
and
since
they're
all
struggling
they'd
rather
have
one
location
that
that
serves
a
broader
market.
I'm
concerned
number
four:
the
physical
aftermath
of
covid
we're
gonna
need
some
new
policies.
First,
one
we
need
to
get
on
is
vacant.
Storefronts,
maybe
consider
zoning
updates
to
allow
alternative
first
floor
uses
in
all
districts,
not
just
downtown.
I
know
that's
controversial.
X
We
could
talk
about
that
and
then
I
talked
about
the
high
street
being
sherman,
and
then
you
know,
perhaps
most
importantly,
the
kobe
19
is
exposing
inequities
in
a
big
way,
and
I
think
we
could
do
a
better
job
as
a
community
and
definitely
better
job
as
an
economic
development
for
the
city
to
really
shift
our
focus
and
really
deploy
some
staff
to
a
coordinated
workforce
development
effort.
X
We
have
a
lot
of
partners
in
town,
but
we
need
somebody
to
help
coordinate
that
if,
if
somebody
comes
to
you
as
an
elected
official,
says
hey
how
does
so
and
so
learn
on
your
job
skill
or
where
should
he
go?
I
pretty
much
guarantee
each
of
you
is
going
to
have
somebody
else
go
to
oakton,
there's
national
able
maybe
go
to
every
building
warehouse.
X
We
need
to
get
focused
and
if
we
can
do
that
and
then,
as
we
shift
our
focus
from
economic
growth
to
an
economic
prosperity,
then
we
get
into
that
whole
idea
of
economic
well-being.
I
think
that's
where
I'll
leave
it
off.
I
I
I
went
over
a
little
bit,
I'm
sorry
about
the
slow
start,
but
I
think
to
get
started
on
this
asap.
You
know
we
start
working
on
this.
X
An
economic
development
committee
can
work
on
this
in
other
communities
as
well,
but
at
some
point
it's
going
to
be
useful
to
have
some
kind
of
aggregated
way
of
or
consolidated
way,
going
to
the
same,
going
to
one
single
source
for
economic
development
funds.
Instead
of
having
to
go
to
work,
go
for
workers
and
go
to
cdbg
and
and
go
to
these
different
departments
or
general
assistants
to
find
funding
so
I'll.
Leave
it
at
that
and
I'll
yield
to
mr
mayer.
Thank.
A
A
A
Erica,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
centering
the
conversation
right
now
correctly,
because
obviously
there's
a
lot
in
here
and
there's
a
lot
of
recommendations
that
we
could
be
discussing.
Where
do
you?
Where
would
you
like
to
see
our
conversation
go
this
evening
recognizing
too,
that
we
also
have
an
economic
development
committee
and
in
other
functions
and
processes
here
in
the
city.
H
Yeah,
thank
you
for
asking
that.
I
think
the
purpose
of
tonight's
presentation
was
just
to
give
both
the
council
and
the
community,
even
those
that
are
not
economic
development
committee,
a
broad
overview
of
what
we're
seeing
and
what
we
expect
to
see
in
the
coming
year.
So
I
don't
necessarily
need
any
action
on
any
of
these
priorities
this
evening.
They
will
come
to
committee
for
discussion,
but
if
there's
general
questions
about
the
presentation
or
any
concerns
that
people
wanted
to
bring
up,
that
could
be
what
we
would
discuss
tonight
or
the.
A
So
so
one
thing
that's
on
my
mind,
is
you
know.
Congress
says
that
is
congress
is
at
a
standstill
right
now
in
terms
of
any
additional
funding.
I
was
on
a
call
with
tony
preckwinkle
and
a
bunch
of
other
mayors
today
talking
about
the
coronavirus
relief
funds
that
are
out
there
right
now.
They
have
to
spend
those
funds
by
the
end
of
this
year
by
december,
31st
evanson,
I
think,
in
in
kate
lewis,
lincoln
who's.
Our
recovery
manager
in
terms
of
the
financial
recovery
from
this
pandemic
has
been
doing
a
great
job.
A
We
got
620
000,
we've
already,
you
know,
spent
that
money
again
getting
reimbursed
from
the
county,
but
I
think
that
there
is
going
to
be
potentially
additional
money
coming
down
eventually
from
washington,
and
we
ought
to
think
about
how
that
money
can
be
used
in
terms
of
economic
development
to
support
our
local
economy,
because
this
is
going
to
take
years
honestly
to
recover
from
this
financial
economically,
and
you
know
putting
a
really
thoughtful
plan
together,
so
that
we're
able
to
move
quickly,
I
think,
is
going
to
be
key.
A
All
right,
I'm
going
to
open
it
up
if
any
questions
comments,
system,
alderman
fleming.
V
Yeah
paul,
if
you
can
just
or
erica
make
sure
that
we
as
the
council
get
that
presentation.
Obviously
it
wasn't
an
agenda.
It
was
a
lot
to
try
to
just
take
in
so
we
can
make
sure
we
get
a
copy
of
it.
That
would
be
great
because
I
I
think
I
do
have
some
more
questions
once
it
flushes
out
and
then
I
can
I'm
not
on
economic
development,
but
I
can
be
paying
attention
to
when
it
comes
to
that
committee.
So
I
can
watch
the
conversation.
V
One
thing
I'll
just
speak
on,
because
this
came
up
in
a
conversation
with
some
people
in
my
ward,
who
did
call
me
about
some
economic
development
supports
and
something
that
I
think
I've
just
always
thought
of,
and
I
realized
paul.
Your
intentions
are
good
on
this,
but
just
I
think
we
are
learning
through
this
about
inequities.
Some
people
are
learning
more
than
others.
V
When
we
talk
about
financial
literacy
right,
I
realize
that
you're
speaking
of
it
in
terms
of
probably
business
owners-
and
you
know
getting
things
and
kind
of
managing
funds
for
business.
But
I
was
in
a
conversation
where
it
was
being
spoken
of
almost
in
the
sense
of
like
poor
people
right
so
there's
this
whole
conversation
around
inequities
and
black
and
brown
people
and
poverty,
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
But
I
think
we
just
want
to
publicly
acknowledge
that
you
know
poor
people
don't
really
need
financial
management
classes
right.
V
V
So
I
realized
what
you
meant
probably
was
in
context
to
growing
a
business,
but
I
think
I'm
starting
to
hear
just
that
term
thrown
around
a
lot
more
when
we
talk
about
inequities
and
poverty
and
black
and
brown
people,
and
just
want
us
to
be
really
clear
that
you
know
poor
people
don't
necessarily
need
money
management
classes
as
a
way
to
not
be
poor.
So
that
was
just
something
that
came
to
me.
I
wanted
to
share
publicly,
but
yes
paul.
V
Please
send
me
the
report
and
I
have
lots
of
thoughts
again
ottoman
rainey
at
the
palm
house,
people.
I
do
think
I've
done
a
fabulous
job
with
those
windows.
I
was
downtown
today
and
saw
the
windows
over
at
panera,
which
I
don't
know
who's
responsible
for
that
space,
but
night
and
day
and
you're
right.
It
does
make
a
big
difference
in
between
walking
down
the
street
and
feeling
like
a
neighborhood
is
blighted
right.
Our
neighborhood
is
this
doesn't
have
as
much
life
to
it
as
other
things.
A
Thank
you
alderman
personally,
I
think
the
council.
We
should
think
about
moving
quickly
in
terms
of
appearances
of
these
vacated
stores
and
restaurants
that
we
have
throughout
throughout
the
city.
You
know
it
beautification
and
all
that
matters
a
lot
I
mean
when
we're
trying
to
attract
and
bring
people
and
bring
people
back.
You
know
everyone
might
buy
it
through
wilmette.
A
Sometimes
I'm
telling
you
they're
doing
a
great
job
there
in
terms
of
just
that
little
downtown
area
that
that
they
have
and
everything
that
this
council
did
in
terms
of
fountain
square,
I
think,
makes
it
really
attractive
for
businesses
to
be
down
here,
but
we've
got.
I
think
we've
got
to
do
something
with
all
the
vacant
storefronts
and
having
some
sort
of
you
know,
policy
or
local
ordinance
that
says:
hey
you
just
can't
put
brown
paper
over
that
over
that
window
would
go
a
long
way,
alderman
new
simmons
did
you
have
something.
D
Yeah
just
quickly
paul
and
paulina
everyone
that
worked
on
this.
Thank
you
so
much.
I'm
really
encouraged
to
see
a
plan
that
we
could
break
up
and
implement
through
various
committees
to
mayor
hagerty's,
point
about
urgency
in
the
appearance
of
the
downtown
area
and
other
commercial
districts
that
are
vacant
we
can
instead
of
like
using
city
dollars
or
finding
that
partner
with
the
arts
community.
D
I've
just
become
aware
of
some
artists
that
are
housing,
insecure
and
losing.
You
know
money
that
they
need
to
store
their
art
collections.
Maybe
there's
some
way
to
collaborate,
working
with
the
arts,
council
and
other
art
agencies
in
town
to
get
their
art
in
the
windows
or
something
else,
but
I
definitely
will
be
looking
at
this
and
working
with
the
economic
development
department
to
implement
some
of
this
quickly,
just
to
bring
morale
to
the
to
the
community
and
confidence
that
we're
working
on
a
plan
attract
new
opportunities
and
businesses.
A
U
I
was
just
going
to
move
and
it
was.
I
do
appreciate
the
very
thoughtful
and
detailed
presentation.
I
thought
it
was
excellent.
I
was
going
to
move
that
we
accept
and
place
it
on
file
and
proceed
seriously.
A
Okay,
all
right
alderman
rainey
did
you
have
something
to
read
a
second.
A
All
right,
all
right,
city
clerk,
can
you
take
the
role
on
accepting
the
economic
development,
update
and
strategy
and
sending
this
to
the
economic
development
committee.
A
All
right,
all
right,
sb2
on
an
8-0
vote,
has
passed
to
be
placed
on
file
and
sent
to
the
economic
development
committee.
So
thank
you
paul
and
your
team
for
all
that
a
good
work
and
everything
you're
doing
it
is
an
urgent
matter.
We're
now
going
to
move
to
the
consent
agenda.
A
Z
B
Yes,
if
I
may
ask
the
council
members
for
a
motion
to
reconsider
the
last
regular
meetings,
non-payment
of
of
an
intern
who
worked
in
the
office,
some
just
calling
for
an
alternative,
maybe
motion,
someone
who
voted
on
the
prevailing
sides
motion
to
reconsider
the
young
man
is
back
in
school.
Now
I
was
expecting
to
receive
that
pay.
B
If
I
can
just
very
quickly
note
that
I've
seen
from
documents
that
have
been
foia,
that
there
wasn't
a
documented
hiring
freeze
policy
and
also
that
there
were,
I
think,
over
100
employees
hired
by
the
city
during
this
hiring
freeze
period,
so
just
hope
that
we
wouldn't
hold
up
this
one
young
man's
pay
without
taking
a
holistic
look
at
what's
been
going
on.
A
So
I'm
gonna
I'll
take
that
now.
If
anyone
wants
to
move
that
motion
to
reconsider
payment
for
that
payment
under
the
clerk's.
A
A
A
A
V
V
Y
By
request
of
the
applicant-
and
I
think
I
think
that
was
good.
J
A
Okay
on
items
818
to
a23,
if
they're
all
liquor
licensed
ones,
we
could
include
on
the
consent
agenda
and
then
just
move
them
in
motion
to
suspend
the
rules
for
introduction
and
action.
S
A
A
It
was
moved
by
open,
braithwaite
seconded
by
alderman
wilson,
seeing
no
discussion
city
clerky
to
take
the
role.
Please
actually.
U
Mayor
so
before
we
start
voting
on
things,
did
we
do
the
little
introductory
thing
or
do
we
still
need
to
do
that
as
far
as
proceeding
with
resumes
okay?
So
so
we
haven't
taken
any
action
yet.
So
let's
do
that.
I
move
that
we
suspend
the
rules
to
proceed
with
our
action
items
using
the
virtual
zoom
service,
in
conformance
with
the
mayor's
I'm
sorry,
the
governor's
former
directors
regarding
coke
at
19.
AA
B
A
I'm
going
to
say
we'll
we'll
pass
on
that
we'll
pass
on
that,
though
redoing
that
vote.
Unless
council
feels
strongly,
we
need
to
go
back
and
do
that
vote.
That's
just
to
place
something
on
file
and
move
it
to
the
economic
development
committee.
A
All
right,
maybe
she
was
telling
me
we
do
need
to
do
it,
so
we
will
go
back.
We
will
go
back
and
do
that
vote
now
that
that
we
did
this
and
apologize
for
forgetting
to
do
that
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
meeting
all
right,
so
we
had
a
motion
by
alderman
braithwait.
It
was
seconded
by
alderman
wilson
to
suspend
the
rules,
allow
for
introduction
in
action
for
a
18
to
8
23..
A
You
could
take
the
role
on
that.
Please.
R
A
All
right,
thank
you,
clerk
action,
okay,
so
the
rules
have
been
suspended
to
allow
for
introduction
in
action
for
items
a18
to
823.
A
So
we,
let's
see
alderman
roos
simmons.
Can
you
just
move
the
motion
on
the
consent
agenda?
I've
I've
got
the
items
that
we.
A
V
Okay,
I
moved
consent
agenda
for
administration,
public
works
committee
that
was
held
this
evening.
D
D
B
J
O
U
Mayor
actually,
this
alderman
fleming's
motion
was
consent
agenda
with
regard
to
apw.
Only
so
I
removed
it
the
balance
of
the
consent
agenda
b,
I'm.
V
U
So
p
and
d
in
the
hs1
and
hs,
I'm
sorry
ed1.
E
O
A
All
right,
thank
you!
Clerk!
Okay.
Now
the
entire
consensus
has
been
passed
on
an
8-0
vote
by
the
city
council,
we're
going
to
move
now
to
the
items
that
were
removed.
Just
so
I'm
clear
I've
got
alderman
rue
simmons
as
the
chair
for
the
apw.
D
Sure,
approval
of
bm,
o'hara's,
amazon,
credit
card
activity
staff
recommends
approval
of
the
city
of
evanston's,
harris
amazon,
credit
card
activity
for
the
period
ending
june
26
2020
and
the
amount
of
10
735
dollars
and
11
cents.
This
is
for
action.
Second,.
B
A
A
S
U
So
I
I
understand
you
know
the,
why
and
the
intent
on
this,
but
in
light
of
the
the
federal
moratorium
that
came
down,
I
think
in
the
interim,
since
this
was
first
getting
discussed,
I'm
concerned
that
this
is
gonna
end
up
doing
potentially
more
harm
than
good.
U
U
I
am
not
sure
that
we
can
circumvent
those
existing
state
laws,
but
you
know
sort
of
the
threshold
question
is.
This
is
generally
intended
to
help
tenants,
and
you
know
with
this
moratorium
that
the
federal
government
has
in
place
as
much
as
I
question
the
motives
on
on
some
of
those
decisions
by
the
federal
government.
I'm
worried
that
this
particular
resolution
that
we're
proposing
could
mislead
tenants
into
thinking
that
they
had
to
make
some
sort
of
deal
with
the
landlord
in
order
to
stay
in
the
property.
U
The
way
that
this
is
drafted
when
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
pursuant
to
the
federal
act,
I
don't
think
you
have
to
do
anything
other
than
submit
the
submit.
The
declaration
that's
required.
So
what
I
don't
want
to
do
is
kind
of
lure
tenants
into
you
know,
cutting
a
deal
that
might
be
worse
than
they
could.
Otherwise,
you
know
exercise
using
the
rights
under
the
federal
federal
act.
U
In
addition,
I
think
it's
going
to
create
additional
hoops
for
the
landlords
to
jump
through
when
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
the
evictions
anyway.
So
it
suggests
that
you
know,
landlords
have
to
you
know,
engage
in
these
conversations,
but
really
to
what
end.
You
know
it's
inferring,
that
if
they
don't
do
this,
they
can
evict
when
I
don't
think
they
can
pursuant
to
this
federal
federal
law.
U
So
I
don't
think
that
it
dovetails
well
enough
with
that,
and
I'm
really
really
concerned
that
we're
going
to
be
misleading
tenants
into
into
taking
action.
That's
going
to
adversely
impact
them.
D
Y
A
AB
Essentially,
we
drafted
this
as
a
stop
gap
between
the
state
issued
moratorium
and
because
we
were
led
to
believe
that
there
was
a
possibility.
The
moratorium
would
end
at
the
end
of
summer.
In
the
interim.
What's
happened
is
the
cdc
has
implemented
a
federal
moratorium
which
will
go
to
the
end
of
the
year,
so
we've
amended
this
resolution
to
just
basically
dovetail
the
state
and
federal
moratoriums,
which
will
just
extend
those
provisions
for
another
60
days
once
they
end.
AA
D
It
provides
the
same
coverage
or
it
provides
an
additional
january
february.
I
heard
you
say
two
different
things.
Could
you
clarify
that
please.
D
U
And
I
really
just
think
we
should
wait
till
we're
a
little
closer
to
to
to
december.
We
don't
know
what
things
are
going
to
look
like
in
a
few
months.
They
could
be
different,
they
could
be
worse,
they
could
be
better.
This
might
not
suit
our
purposes
at
all
in
three
months.
So
you
know
passing
this
now
doesn't
seem
to
make
a
lot
of
incentive,
we're
extending
something
that
we
don't
know
what
it
looks
like.
U
So
I
would
be
much
more
comfortable
if
we,
if
we
got
closer
to
that
time
period
and
see
what
the
circumstances
look
like
and
again
it
does
put
these.
It
puts
requirements
on
landlords
who
are
seeking
to
do
an
eviction
that
they
can't
actually
even
do
so.
What
I'm
expecting
to
happen
is
landlords
and
tenants
are
going
to
be
confused
by
that
they're
going
to
think.
Okay,
well,
the
tenant's
not
paying
your
rent.
U
I
have
to
go
through
this
process,
but
they're
going
to
be
going
through
a
process
that
is
not
going
to
accomplish
anything.
It's
going
to
it's
going
to
kind
of
be
in
the
face
of
the
federal
moratorium
and
they're
going
to
be
doing.
You
know,
I
think
something
that
might
lead
either
a
landlord
or
a
tenant
into
making
a
deal
that
might
not
be
in
their
best
interest.
Given
the
existence
of
that
federal
federal
moratorium.
O
V
So,
in
reading
the
cdc
moratorium
it
doesn't
apply
to
illinois,
the
cdc
moratorium
doesn't
apply
to
any
state
tribal
land
and
read
it
for
you,
state,
local
territory
or
tribal
area.
That
already
has
a
residential
moratorium,
so
we
have
one
currently
eliminated.
V
I
don't
know
if
the
governor
is
going
to
extend
that.
I
assume
he
will,
but
as
long
as
we
have
one
in
illinois,
the
ctc
moratorium
does
not
apply
to
us.
It's
currently
also
being
challenged
in
court.
So
I
I'm
not
sure
if
I
want
to
hang
my
hat
or
attendance
rights
on
that,
given
our
federal
government.
So
as
kelly
said,
we
dropped
it
or
she
drafted
this
one.
V
Some
time
ago,
as
we
know,
the
governor
has
been
renewing
them,
but
at
some
point
I
imagine
he's
going
to
stop
and
this
just
provides
extra
protection
for
our
residents.
I'm
been
speaking
with
joe
roth
and
sarah
flax
and
several
people
about
this
moratorium
and
how
it's
crafted
we
already
as
a
city
contract
with
metropolitan
tennis
association
that
provides
you
know,
classes
and
workshops
and
tenant
and
landlord
mediation.
V
It's
very
clear
that
you
have
to
have
an
economic
hardship
based
on
covid,
it's
very
clear
that
that
hardship
had
to
start
pretty
much
when
our
shelter
on
place
starts,
and
it
only
has
to
do
with
that.
So
landlords
are
still
protected
against
people
who
are
trashing
apartments
or
anything
else
that
might
lead
them
to
a
foreclosure,
though,
while
the
cdc
sounds
good
on
paper,
it
doesn't
apologize
right
now
as
long
as
governor
christopher
has
a
moratorium
and
it
could
be
thrown
out.
V
I
mean
I
realize
I
don't
know
this,
but
it
could
be
thrown
out
in
court
just
like
anything
else.
So
this
was
a
safeguard
as
she
says,
to
extend
that,
hopefully
we're
in
a
better
place
whenever
the
governor's
moratorium
ends,
but
we
don't
know-
and
if
you're
like
me,
you
probably
get
a
lot
of
phone
calls
or
people
who
need
rental
assistance
and
while
there's
a
lot
of
programs
out
there,
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
are
looking
for
assistance.
V
As
I
said
earlier
on,
the
committee
call.
Sarah
is
trying
to
work
through
some
cdbg
funding,
which
hopefully
will
allow
some
landlords
to
have
some
assistance,
because
even
if
tenants
are
applying
for
assistance,
they
might
not
get
it
or
they
might
just
get
it
once
I
mean
we
know,
the
jobs
are
not
bouncing
back
as
far
as
amazon
just
told
them.
Y
U
So
that's
that's
what
I
think
where
it
could
really
lead
to
into
dangerous
confusion,
because
if
you
have
present
tenants
thinking,
okay,
if
we
make
some
sort
of
deal
and
the
tenant
doesn't
live
up
to
that,
then
the
landlord
can
proceed
with
the
eviction.
That's
not
the
case,
because
the
federal
moratorium
precludes
that
eviction.
If
the
tenant
prepares
the
document
and
if
the
tenant
is
lured
into
thinking,
they
don't
need
to
prepare
the
document
and
they
don't
do
it.
Then
the
landlord
can
evict
because
they
didn't
follow
the
federal
federal
requirements.
U
So
this
is,
I
mean
this
terrible
mistake.
I
think
we're
setting
people
up
to
have
potentially
disastrous
results.
I
mean
if
it
needs
to
be
reworked
a
little
bit
but,
like
I
said
it
does
not
dovetail
with
the
with
the
recently
drafted
and
adopted
cdc
provisions.
U
Z
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
alderman
wilson,
for
your
attention
to
detail.
Can
I
just
suggest
that
we
hold
this
for
a
couple
of
weeks
or
hold
it
over
to
the
next
meeting
give
autumn
and
wilson
opportunity
to
check
with
our
legal
department
as
well
as
alderman
fleming
can
weigh
in
as
well?
I
mean
I
don't
see
any
reason
to
rush
this
and
I
definitely
don't
want
to
make
any
mistakes.
V
Z
V
D
Z
D
With
I
mean
when
it
comes
back,
can
we
be
more
clear
on
the
federal
moratorium,
because
it's
my
understanding
in
line
with
what
ottoman
wilson
is
saying
that
the
greater
protection
actually
is
in
the
federal
moratorium?
So
I
would
like
more
understanding
on
that
and
also
consideration
for
the
amount
of
support
that's
available
for
the
tenants
and
the
little
resource
available
for
the
landlords
and
many
of
our
landlords
providing
affordable
housing.
Our
moderate.
E
D
Themselves,
so
we
need
to
accelerate
the
conversation
that
sarah
flax
is
working
on
on
how
we
can
support
the
landlords
as
well
all
right.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Just
I
mean
everyone
should
know.
Evictions
are
not
happening
like
you,
you
have
to
have
very
extreme
and
ex
specific
circumstances
to
even
get
into
court.
I
mean
I'm
sure
alderman
wilson
could
talk
to
you
more
about
that,
but
landlords
can
tell
you
that
evictions
are
not
happening
and
it's
very
unclear
on
when
it's
even
possible
when
landlords
are
going
to
aid.
D
So
this
is
more
of
a
community
issue
that
I
think
deserves
some
more
attention,
but
the
tenants
are
definitely
protected
right
now.
B
Go
ahead,
clerk
yeah!
I
just
want
to
recommend
that
folks,
if
you
have
issues
I've
heard
of
folks
in
the
community
who
are
have
landlords
that
are
threatening
eviction
during
this
period,
and
so
I'd
recommend
that
folks
reach
out
to
open
communities
and
other
local
services
if
you're
having
issues
with
with
with
a
landlord
or
with
being
able
to
pay
rent.
A
Yeah,
thank
you.
Clerk.
We
have
a
contract.
The
city
has
a
contract
with
metropolitan
texas
organization.
So
yes,
all
right
so
ultimate
faith
weight
moved
a
table,
this
item
to
a
date
cern,
which
was
the
next
meeting
that
was
seconded.
So
that's
good
enough
right.
I
don't
have
to
go
to
a
vote
on
that
right.
Z
A
A
A
B
I
got
it
hi
hi
dalton
ruth
simmons,
hi,
alderman,
sufferden.
V
R
A
A
I
have
the
other
items
that
were
removed
were
not
on
the
city
council
agenda,
they're
off
all
together
removed
by
the
staff
that
was
a
16
and
a
25.
A
P1
committee,
so
that's
it
for
us,
so
that
takes
us
through
the
consent
agenda
and
the
items
that
were
removed
off
of
the
council.
We're
now
going
to
move
to
call
the
wards
alderman
great
weight.
Z
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
just
want
to
thank
all
the
second
world
residents
that
came
out
to
our
work
meeting
last
week,
thursday,
as
well
as
our
city
manager,
erica
storley,
for
the
budget
overview.
This
is
just
a
side
comment.
I've
I've
shared
this
before
it.
Z
It
it
bothers
me
sometimes
when
residents
excuse
me
doesn't
bother
me
when
a
resident
advocates
for
their
position,
but
it
does
bother
me
when
we
refer
to
any
part
of
our
wonderful
town
as
a
ghetto,
and
I
just
I
I
can't
let
that
comment
go
and
I
think
it's
it's
misplaced.
Z
It's
undeserving
and
it
isn't
fair
to
the
residents
who
live
in
that
area,
so
I'll
just
leave
it
right
there.
Thank
you.
A
D
Thank
you
and
we
will
have
our
war
meeting
this
thursday.
We've
postponed
it
so
that
we
could
have
a
productive
budget
conversation
after
all
of
the
fifth
world
residents
attend
the
budget
meeting.
So
I
hope
to
see
you
there,
thursday
7
pm.
