B
A
A
You
know
it
is
President's
Day
today
that
doesn't
stop
our
city
from
working,
though,
and
I
just
have
one
sad
announcement
over
the
over
the
weekend,
a
business
leader
here
in
Evanston
who
did
a
tremendous
amount
of
good
for
the
community
passed
away,
and
that
was
Joe
levy
and,
as
we
all
know,
his
one
of
his
namesakes,
the
levy,
Senior
Center.
He
was
one
of
the
principal
donors
to
getting
that
off
the
ground.
It
was
a
renews
and
he
actually
had
multiple
senior
centers
in
in
the
area.
A
Joe
was
also
very
much
young
at
heart
and
even
though
I
think
he
passed
away
at
92
years
old
and
Alderman
rainey
attended
the
funeral.
Today
he
was
young
at
heart
and
he
really
spent
a
lot
of
time
working
with
other
younger
entrepreneurs
here
in
the
in
the
community.
Jill
actually
didn't
reside
here
in
Evanston,
but
his
businesses
and
he
had
a
very
successful,
auto
dealership,
who
was
here
in
Evanston
and
with
that
dealership,
one
of
the
the
things
that
he
did
is
he
donated
and
you'll
appreciate
this
chief.
A
He
donated
the
dare
car
to
the
Evanston,
Police,
Department
and
Joe
did
that
and
it
made
a
quite
a
difference
in
this
community.
So
our
hearts
and
condolences
go
out
to
the
levy
family
for
everything
that
that
they
have
done
for
Evanston
and
Joe
did
for
Evanston
sitting
in
for
our
city
manager.
This
evening
is
our
assistant
city
manager,
Erica
story,
Erica,
any
announcements,
no.
B
on
both
nights,
and
you
can
find
more
information
about
those
candidate
forms
they'll
be
held
at
shooting,
Middle
School,
but
you
can
find
more
information
on
the
City
Clerk's
website
and
the
City
Clerk's
office
will
be
holding
forms
for
all
of
the
elected
offices
on
the
ballot
closer
to
the
election.
Thank
you
excellent.
A
A
D
You
Mike
the
SoCo
2728
Reece
Avenue
Evanston,
my
comets
are
tied
to
item
SP,
to
which
city
council
goals,
one
of
which
is,
as
I
recall,
planning
for
the
financial
future
of
Evanston
or
something
to
that
effect.
So
we
just
had
a
meeting
regarding
Robert
Crown
Center
a
community
center.
Last
week,
the
13th
I
wanted
to
thank
Erica
for
organizing
that
meeting.
D
There
was
a
good
turnout,
I
thought
of
all
wards
across
sevenson.
A
lot
of
good
questions
were
asked
a
lot
of
questions
about
the
financial
aspects
of
the
project.
The
funding
of
the
project
came
to
a
surprise
to
a
lot
of
people
about
the
recent
I
mean
the
cost,
as
it's
currently
estimated
to
be
fifty
three
point:
four
million
dollars.
D
The
one
thing
I
felt
about
that
meeting.
Unfortunately,
was
there
was
a
lot
of
time
taken
up
by
presentations
that
didn't
get
to
the
heart
of
the
matter.
It
was
a
little
orchestrated
in
that
regard,
so
I
wish
that
had
not
happened.
There
were
a
lot
of
questions
that
did
not
get
answered
a
lot
of
the
financial
questions
that
did
not
get
answered
and
I.
D
You
know
the
long
story
short
I
think
there
are
ways
to
reduce
the
cost
of
citizen
taxpayer
money
going
towards
that
project.
Erica
and
Kate
presented
a
chart
that,
with
that
project
added,
the
total
city
debt
is
going
to
recede
269
million
dollars
next
year.
That's
pretty
amazing
to
me
not
in
a
good
way,
I
think
that's
good
purple
the
community
in
many
ways
and
certainly
is
going
to
add
to
the
taxes
of
those
who
want
to
live
here.
D
So
we're
gonna
be
asking
the
city
to
find
a
way
to
postpone
the
coming
18
million
dollars
that
is
dedicated
to
the
Robert
Crown
Center
and
the
library
part
of
the
Robert
Crown
Center
and
the
way
of
the
next
general
obligation
bond
sale.
That's
coming
up,
I
think
in
June
we'd
like
the
city
to
postpone
that
a
lot
of
questions
we'd
like
to
get
answered
and
until
the
answer
questions
are
answered.
We'd
like
that
bond
sale
to
be
postponed.
D
There
are
many
ways
to
attack
that
cost
and
to
save
money.
One
offered
last
year
or
I
should
say
in
2017
by
Alvin
Wilson
was
to
phase
the
interior.
Build-Out
of
the
product
of
the
building
that
came
from
meeting
minutes
were
hauled
in
the
Wilson
off
of
that
suggestion.
I
think
it's
a
great
suggestion
and
we'd
like
to
see
that
happened,
because
it's
still
possible
to
do
that.
There's
a
lot
of
money
in
contingency
up
to
three
million
dollars.
D
I
think
as
it
is
appears
to
be
untouched,
there's
only
about
250,000
dollars
that
have
been
claimed
as
change
orders
so
far,
so
I
think
that
contingency
money
could
be
removed
and
I
think.
Most
importantly,
there
needs
to
be
harder
negotiations
with
private
entities.
That's
where
I
think
the
focus
should
be
the
city
needs
a
great
negotiator,
know
anybody
in
the
White
House.
D
A
E
Thank
you,
I
want
to
say,
I
would
set
that
meeting
to
and
thank
you
all
for
putting
it
together.
I
think,
there's
a
misunderstanding
on
some
people
that
think
I
want
to
stop
this
project
that
it's
not
the
case,
I.
Think
it's
a
beautiful
building!
It's
like
the
you
know.
You
go
to
the
concept,
you
thought.
Oh
car-dealing
see
the
concept
car
everyone
wants
it,
but
you
can't
always
afford
what
you
want
and
that's
what
my
position
has
been.
It
has
not
been
to
stop
it.
I
agree
with
Mike
I.
E
Think
you
do
what
you
cannot
do
afford
to
do.
You
have
a
budget
and
this
building
you
know
I
felt
somewhat
upset
at
the
end
of
the
meeting,
because
there
was
a
sunset.
If
you
didn't
go
to
the
public
meetings,
there
were
28
of
them.
Supposedly
you
should
have
known,
but
between
2017
the
city
original
was
going
to
be
playing,
17
million
tops
and
it
got
to
19.
Then
it
got
to
30
and
in
2018
it
was
43
million
dollars
in
bonds
and
I.
E
Don't
think
the
public
I
don't
think
the
City
Council,
which
tries
to
be
fiscally
responsible,
was
of
saying
to
the
citizens
guys
this
projects
getting
out
of
control
by
2025
you're
gonna
have
a
three
million
dollar
deficit,
not
including
the
cost
to
run
the
place.
I
think
the
city
is,
should
support
recreation,
centers,
I,
think
that's
our
tax
dollars
go
for
that
and
I'm
going
500,000
on
that.
So
that
goes
to
my
next
point.
Is
we
pour
the
Friends
of
robber
crown?
Are
they
authorized
to
negotiate
on
behalf
of
the
city?
E
Is
there
an
MOU
for
them
to
negotiate?
Someone
has
told
me
that
one
of
the
reasons
we
pushed
forward
and
the
breaking
ground
was
because
of
a
donor
who
wanted
that
started
by
a
certain
time,
but
if
we
don't
have
an
MOU,
what
are
we
doing
and
I'm
happy
to
discuss
it
with
you
more,
but
the
detail?
If
we're
gonna
get
out
of
this,
we
can
build
a
shell.
We
can
chase
it
in.
We
can
do
our
our
rink
and
the
basketball
courts.
E
I
want
to
have
a
crown
Center
also,
but
with
the
detail
of
these
agreements
that
are
being
negotiated
is
critical,
because
if
you
have
a
thousand
sea
ice
rink
and
you
rent
it
out
at
a
per
hour
basis,
it's
one
thing
but
who
might,
for
example,
collect
the
revenue.
Maybe
the
city
should
be
talking
about
that.
E
So
all
the
detail
of
those
letters
of
intent
which
have
been
talked
about
negotiated,
are
in
this
friends
contribution
at
some
time
in
the
future
really
need
to
be
looked
at
not
committed
to
until
they've
been
analyzed
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city,
because,
if
not
I
mean
we
can
there's
no
ice
time
or
really
around.
When
you
look
at
the
North
Shore
Arena
you
look
at
Harlem
Park
you
look
all
around
there
are
times
are
full.
Thank
you.
E
F
Even
if
it's
on
a
Parkway,
we
now
see
that
deep-rooted
trees
might
be
even
essential
with
regard
to
the
flooding
that
occurs
and
that
we
have
soil
or
in
many
cases,
I'm
living
in
an
area.
That's
a
floodplain
and
any
removal
is
definitely
devastating,
and
what
does
city
do
to
place?
Something
like
that
or
admit
take
what
nature
does
I'm
still
asking
those
questions.
F
So
I
think
that
maybe
there's
a
culture
thing
and
all
it
needs
is
that
some
of
the
stuff
that's
learned
in
one
group
gets
transferred
to
the
other
in
terms
of
I.
Think
there
should
be
Ward
specific
outreach,
not
just
a
newspaper.
It
could
be
The
Tribune
and
who
reads
that
we
need
to
talk
about
the
poor
people.
We
need
to
talk
about
people
whose
housing
houses
are
really
susceptible
to
damage,
because
they
need
money
to
do
upkeep.
Those
people
can
be
triggered.
G
F
A
H
So.
Thank
you
for
that,
and
we
only
had
an
hour
and
a
half
to
talk.
Next
was
the
2019
2020
special
meeting
goals?
I
learned
that
the
six
goal,
sections
narrowed
down
to
four
we're
not
specific
enough
to
define
a
specific
success
or
failure
has
brought
up
by
a
couple
of
aldermen,
I,
think
alderman,
Fleming
and
I'm.
Sorry
and
alderman
Simmons.
H
H
Okay,
as
a
side
note,
I
gave
my
comments
to
Alderman
Simmons,
who
then
sent
me
a
response
after
reading
her
comments,
I
was
surprised
to
see
a
box
which
looked
like
a
video
after
clicking
on
I
was
amazed
to
see
a
video
recap
of
2018
through
the
eyes
of
Alderman
Simmons.
Some
events
I,
attended
and
thought
the
presentation
was
awesome.
Thank
you
for
that.
H
Last,
for
now
is
Robert
crown.
It
was
a
good
presentation.
I
guess
there
are
about
15
to
20
people
who
got
up
and
spoke
I.
Do
not
think
that
anyone
objected
to
the
idea
of
rebuilding
Robert
crown.
The
objection
was
and
still
is,
the
cost
of
the
project.
We
still
need
to
know
how
you
will
be
able
to
balance
the
budget
and
not
increase
the
property
taxes.
When
can
we
get
the
answer
to
this
question
again,
thank
you
and
look
forward
to
increased
dialogue
so
that
we
can
have
our
questions
and
concerns
addressed.
J
At
the
end
good
evening,
my
name
is
Kenny
suture
I'm
a
Chicago
resident,
but
my
parents
grew
up.
I
mean
my
parents
lived
30
years
across
the
street
in
the
2100
block
of
Ridge.
Thanks
to
these
guys
and
their
comp
ages,
they
came
to
my
parents
house
to
rescue
them,
take
them
to
the
ER
time
and
time
the
time
to
take
the
time
again
anyway,
I
digress,
I
just
want
to
say
one
name
to
you
to
begin.
J
The
request
was
denied
due
to
the
VFW's
criteria.
We're
not
sure
why
the
VFW
was
in
charge,
because
it's
only
one
organization
representing
veterans.
The
VFW
stated
that
Matthews
home
of
record,
where
a
soldier
lives
when
he
or
she
enlists
is,
is
the
reason
a
person
can
be
a
soldier
can
be
it
added
to
the
memorial.
J
Matthews
home
of
record
was
George
where
Matthew's
mother
lives
having
been
divorced
from
mark
at
a
very
young
age.
It
should
be
noted
that
during
Matthew's
29
80
years
on
earth,
Matthews
second
home
was
Evanston
spending
vacations
and
time
whenever
possible,
with
his
stepbrother
Harrison
his
father
and
Mark's
wife
Paula,
an
article
about
your
city's
denial,
appeared
in
the
Tribune
Mike
Roche,
a
decorated,
Vietnam,
veteran
and
Evanston
resident
and
former
teacher
as
a
second
career.
J
He
said
he
would
need
to
contact
the
VFW
Mike,
as
I
said
decorated,
veteran
explained
to
the
mayor
that
the
VFW
is
only
one
of
many
organizations
representing
veterans
and
that
perhaps
it
should
be
the
city's
decision,
not
one
small
group
of
vets.
The
mayor
seemed
to
agree.
Mike
took
it
upon
himself
to
speak
with
the
present
and
past
commanders
of
the
VFW
Bruce.
Second
Lozinski,
who
told
Mike
they
could
they
would
no
longer
block
the
addition
of
Matthew's
name
and
they
wished
him
luck.
J
Then,
surprisingly,
the
mayor
added
a
new
stipulation
that
Matthews
mother
would
have
to
agree
as
well.
So
I
wrote
to
her
and
Thanksgiving
evening
a
special
family
day.
I
received
an
email
from
her
stating
that
it
would
be
an
honor
for
her
son's
name
to
be
included
and
the
memorial,
but
she
informed
me
that
Matthew
has
family
in
Lake
Forest
and
would
appreciate
a
place
to
remember
it.
I
was
elated
and
felt
that
our
mission
was
accomplished.
I
copied
the
email
and
sent
it
to
the
mayor,
Thanksgiving.
J
As
an
aside
I'd
like
to
also
say
that
he
met
with
Alderman
suffered
in
he
lives
in
that
district
and
that
serve
the
connections.
Is
your
father,
brother
does
County
Commissioner
you're
dead
who's,
also
strong
supporter
of
veterans
rights
and
both
alderman
suffered
and
his
father,
we're
very
positive
in
saying
that
his
name
should
be
headed
as
well
as
congresswoman
Schakowsky.
Thanks
for
the
time.
Sorry
about
the
emotion.
A
Thank
you
thank
you
Kenny
for
coming
in,
and
it
is
a
really
emotional
topic
and
I
know
it's
one
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
I
think
a
lot
of
people
are
supportive
of
this
young
man
being
there
there's
a
question
about
other
people
that
have
come
before
with
similar
circumstances
that
aren't
on
the
wall.
So
we're
still
trying
to
work
through
a
bunch
of
details
and
stuff
like
that.
A
So
I'll
bring
that
back
at
a
certain
point,
but
just
so
you're
all
aware:
okay,
we're
gonna
go
now
to
special
orders
of
business
tonight
is
basically
a
special
order:
business
City,
Council
City
Council
meeting
with
lots
of
items.
So
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
just
I'll
go
through
and
I'll
just
sort
of
announce
these
I
guess
and
and
if
we
get
a
second
we'll
go
for
him.
So
the
first
one
is
sp1
City
Council
minutes
from
February
4th
2019
and
February
11th
2019.
This
is
for
action.
A
This
area
move
that
okay,
any
comments:
okay,
seeing
none
all
in
favor
any
opposed.
Okay,
SP
1
passes
7
to
0,
going
to
SP
2.
It's
the
2019
2020
City
Council
goals.
This
came
up,
one
of
the
speaker's
mister
Freeman
mentioned,
putting
some
more
meat
around
the
bones
which
I
think
was
agreed
upon,
and
so
I'm
going
to.
A
K
L
So
I
would
propose
March,
2
and
March
18,
which
are
a
Saturday
and
a
Monday
other
thoughts
and
part
of
my
rationale,
for
that
was
March,
2nd
and
March.
18Th
part
of
my
rationale
was
the:
if
we
go
the
16th
and
the
18th,
if
we
want
to
do
work
in
between
there's,
not
really
any
time
to
do
any
work
between
us,
so
I
thought
that
would
give
us
a
little
bit
of
operating.
L
A
K
A
K
A
N
N
That
have
served
I'd
like
to
thank
that
our
mission
and
values
complement
the
cities
in
terms
of
being
the
most
livable
city
in
America
and
doing
so
in
a
way
that
exemplifies
excellent
customer
service,
integrity,
accountability
and,
of
course,
continuous
improvement.
As
we
look
at
the
numbers
for
2018
you'll
see
that
for
the
third
consecutive
year
we've
eclipsed
10,000
calls
for
service.
N
The
balance
again
as
in
past
years,
is
about
64%
EMS
calls
and
36%
for
fire,
and,
as
we
compare
this
over
the
30-year
trend,
you'll
see
that
we
have
a
52%
increase
in
calls
during
that
time.
So
we're
seeing
about
a
2%
increase
per
year,
I
expect
that
to
continue,
you
have
a
department
that
is
again
dealing
with
increased
levels
of
service
demand
from
year
to
year.
N
These
numbers
I
always
try
to
point
out
our
most
important
they're,
directly
tied
to
our
mission
of
life
safety,
and
you
can
see
that
the
most
important
of
those
numbers
is
our
response
times.
Our
response
time
average
for
2018
was
three
minutes
in
12
seconds,
which
is
well
below
the
national
standard
of
four
minutes
through
the
NFPA.
This,
of
course,
has
implications
for
us
in
two
critical
ways.
We
talk
about
fire
and
I've
mentioned
this
before
during
our
budget
deliberations.
The
importance
of
keeping
fires
contained
to
the
room
of
origin
to
minimizing
property
damage.
N
That,
of
course,
saves
lives
that
the
civilians
that
were
sworn
to
serve
as
well
as
protect
our
firefighters.
It's
one
of
the
biggest
reasons.
You'll
see
that
we
we
saved
over
ninety
nine
million
dollars
with
the
property
over
last
year
and
mitigating
74
fires.
It's
a
95
percent,
save
rate
I
think
that's
critically
important
when
we
talk
about
emergency
medical
services.
N
I
mentioned
and
I'll
reaffirm
this
evening
that
it's
so
important
in
a
any
critical
medical
emergency
or
traumatic
injury
that
we
get
to
as
quickly
as
possible
and
one
of
the
most
important
research
components
that
can
offer
in
support
of
that
is
cardiac
arrest.
So,
if
we're
able
to
provide
to
your
home
within
four
minutes
properly
trained
firefighter
paramedics
week
increase
your
survivability
of
a
cardiac
arrest,
Eightfold
from
4%
to
34%,
and
so
it's
important
with
those
response
times
and,
of
course,
our
training
that
I
really
believe
it
makes
a
big
big
difference.
N
N
We
talked
about
proactively
dealing
with
life
safety,
our
cumulative
risk
reduction
activities.
You
can
see
that
our
our
fire
prevention
bureau
of
two
inspectors
and
a
fire
plan
reviewer
were
very
busy
over
the
year
over
700.
Excuse
me:
671
field
inspections,
392
plan
reviews,
41,
fire
investigations.
We
helped
oversee
life
safety
for
over
28,
special
events
within
the
city,
and
we
had
over
259
public
education
events,
including
probably
the
most
popular
thing
we
do
in
the
community,
is
their
neighborhood
block
parties
as
busy
as
we
are.
N
We
feel
I
feel
our
department
feels
it's
important
that
we
remain
engaged
in
the
community
as
much
as
possible.
So
I
want
to
go
over
some
of
the
highlights
of
some
of
our
community
engagement
activities.
First
is
our
Evanston
fire
Explorer
program.
We
have
34
members
currently
enrolled
and
for
those
that
don't
recall,
this
program
is
geared
towards
youth
and
Evanston
from
the
ages
of
14
to
20.
The
program
is
one
of
the
biggest
and
the
state
of
Illinois
and
provides
a
great
opportunity
for
these.
Young
men
and
women
become
familiar
with
the
fire
service.
N
Help
prepare
for
that
as
a
career,
potentially
while
learning
important
skills
like
leadership,
teamwork
and
community
service
hours
for
graduates.
Also
earn
preference
points
for
a
eligibility
list
for
hire
for
the
department
as
well.
A
very
similar
program
is
our
Evanston
Township
High
School
Public
Safety
Program.
N
This
program
is
focused
towards
juniors
and
seniors
at
the
high
school
who
want
to
explore
a
career
in
either
fire
or
police,
and
so
the
program
has
done
a
partnership
at
the
high
school
Oakland,
Community
College
and
the
of
instant
police
department,
and
these
guys
and
ladies
can
go
through
this
program
and
get
dual
credit.
So
now
they're
getting
high
school
credit
for
graduation,
but
they
get
credit
in
Oakland,
Community,
College
towards
an
associate's
degree
in
either
law
enforcement
or
fire
service.
M
N
M
N
Not
something
new,
but
it's
something
then
looking
to
augment.
So
first,
let
me
clarify
that
we
graduate
of
our
fire
Explorer
program
gets
five
preference
points
towards
that
final
eligibility
list.
Okay
and
I
don't
want
to
get
too
far
ahead
of
myself,
but
for
the
first
time
in
the
history
of
our
department,
one
of
our
explorers
is
finally
being
selected
and
being
put
through
the
process
for
hire.
Okay.
N
So
if
that
candidate
gets
all
the
way
through,
I'll
make
sure
that
everyone
learns
and
knows
about
that,
because
the
individual
were
very
excited
to
bring
a
board
on
the
department
going
forward
and
I'll
mention
this
later
in
terms
of
our
2019
goals,
is
I
would
like
that
Explorer
program
to
evolve
into
apprenticeship
program
once
the
apprenticeship
program
is
created,
it
will
be
that
direct
pipeline
for
our
Evanston
community
youth
to
become
a
firefighter
paramedic.
That's.
N
N
Now
you
heard
me
talk
about
the
importance
of
increasing
cardiac
survivability,
and
this
is
a
key
link
in
that
chain
of
survival
is
having
people
in
that
room
at
the
time
of
a
cardiac
arrest
that
that
citizen
bystander
had
the
right
training
to
effect
a
positive
outcome
in
that
case-
and
so
this
has
been
the
main
primary
focus
of
our
citizen.
Cpr
program-
is
to
get
as
people
in
the
community
as
possible.
N
This
life-saving
training,
and
so
we
trained
another
400
people
in
CPR
in
2018,
brings
a
number
up
to
almost
2,000
since
the
inception
of
the
program
in
2012,
and
we
hope
to
continue
that
and
the
years
to
come,
some
other
highlights
from
2018
is
in
October
we
were
given
the
coveted
ISIL
class,
one
public
protection
classification
from
the
Insurance
Services
office.
So
you
may
recall
that
ISIL
comes
out
and
evaluates
our
department
every
five
years.
They
evaluate
us
and
our
operations,
our
training,
our
staffing
station
configurations.
N
They
evaluate
our
water
supply,
our
double
water
delivery
system,
as
well
as
our
emergency
communications,
and
so
you
can
see
the
importance
of
the
collaboration
of
those
departments
like
Public
Works
and
our
Evanston
Police
Department.
All
together,
we
performed
at
the
highest
possible
level,
ISO
evaluates
over
46,000
communities
nationwide
and
only
300
have
this
distinct
designation.
So
that
places
us
in
the
top
1%.
So
we're
really
proud
of
this
classification,
we're
also
going
to
use
it
as
a
benchmark
to
hopefully
improve
our
operations
going
forward.
N
We
also
left.
We
also.
Let
excuse
me
a
regional
effort
to
gain
a
grant
from
FEMA
of
over
1.4
million
dollars
approximately
180,000,
and
that
will
go
to
the
city
of
Evanston
to
enhance
and
upgrade
our
portable
radio
communications.
Not
only
will
they
do
that,
but
for
the
first
time
offer
us
the
state-of-the-art
accountability
system
through
Motorola
that
will
allow
us
to
track
our
firefighters
in
real-time
during
an
emergency
incident
and
since
it's
a
regional
grant,
we're
going
to
be
sharing
this
accountability
system
across
our
partners
in
the
area.
N
N
We
were
able
to
execute
agreement
with
Northwestern
University
for
the
shared
use
of
the
emergency
operations
that
are
located
on
Davis
Street.
So
not
only
will
this
EEOC
really
enhance
our
capabilities
with
respect
to
our
own
crisis
management
team,
but
it
really
kind
of
speaks
again
us
fostering
a
great
relationship
with
our
public
safety
and
emergency
management
partners
within
Northwestern
University.
You
can
see
here
we
have
a
picture
of
a
joint
exercise.
N
We
did
with
our
team
and
Northwestern's
team
with
assimilated,
hazardous
materials
problem
in
Northeast,
a
person
that
affected
Evanston
infected
the
campus
of
Northwestern
University.
So
this
state-of-the-art
facility
is
we're
going
to
help
us
going
forward,
and
again
is
this
to
exemplifies
the
great
partnership
that
we
have
in
northwestern.
N
During
2018,
we
completed
a
very
comprehensive
community-based
recruitment
and
candidate
support
process
that
helped
us
develop
our
two-year
eligibility
list
for
firefighter
and
paramedic
and
the
reason
I'm
so
proud
of
this
particular
process.
Is
it's
very
unique
and
not
just
in
the
sense
of
the
expanded
recruitment
effort,
but
the
fact
that
we
did
community-based
workshops
for
those
folks
in
Evanston
to
help
them
the
workshop
topics
included
things
like
preparing
a
resume
interview,
preparation,
skills,
test,
taking
strategies.
N
Our
emergency
preparedness
division
not
only
help
prepare
the
City
of
evidence,
crisis
management
team
with
enhanced
training
in
NIMS
or
the
National
Incident
Management
System,
but
also
worked
with
the
community
for
the
first
time
and
proactively,
better
preparing
for
continuity
of
operations
during
a
disaster
or
crisis,
and
we
hope
to
continue
that
moving
forward.
Our
third
team
in
partnership
with
the
Red
Cross,
the
number
of
community-based
activities
again
helping
people
prepare
for
emergencies.
N
There
was
a
big
emphasis
in
2018
with
FEMA
on
better
preparation,
so
he
wanted
to
kind
of
embrace
that
mission
by
FEMA
and
carry
it
forward,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
implemented
in
2018
was
a
very
new
state-of-the-art
emergency,
patient
care
reporting
system
for
our
EMS
calls,
and
this
is
a
very
comprehensive
cloud-based
and
CAD
integrated
platform.
That's
already
helped
us
improve
our
clinical,
operational
and
regulatory
performance
in
so
many
ways.
N
It's
also
and
I'm
going
to
speak
about
this
in
a
minute,
but
better
captured
data
for
us,
especially
when
EMS
is
60%
over
60%
of
our
call
volume.
As
we
look
ahead
to
2019
you're
going
to
see
in
the
next
30
days,
us
launched
the
first
mobile
integrated
healthcare
community
paramedic
program
with
our
partners
at
st.
Francis
and
Amita.
So
this
program
is
going
to
be
a
really
effective
way.
We
feel
for
us
to
be
human
to
be
engaged,
deliver
patient-centered
care
to
the
folks
and
also
have
integrated
social
service
delivery
through
HHS
and
Nevada.
N
Thomas
has
been
super
supportive
of
this
initiative
so
that
we
can
deliver
better
care
for
those
in
need
in
the
Evanston
community.
We're
also
going
to
be
looking
to
upgrade
a
new
what
we
call
a
pre
incident,
planning
software
or
pre
planned
software
platform.
So
this
will
allow
us
they
have
enhanced
mapping
and
tactical
information
for
our
firefighters.
N
So
imagine
an
alarm
comes
in
for
a
particular
building
and
the
firefighters
in
or
out
of
that
call
will
have
the
ability
you
see
it
where
it
is
on
a
map,
see
pictures
of
all
four
sides
of
that
building
and
if
critical,
tactical
information
about
hazards
within
that
building
before
they
even
get
off
the
rig.
So
this
is
initiative
for
us
to
help
increase
the
safety
and
effectiveness.
Our
firefighters,
we're
gonna,
be
working
in
2018
with
the
city's
data.
N
Governance,
team
and
I
want
to
do
a
much
better
job
of
capturing
data,
especially
as
it
relates
to
our
community
of
risk
reduction
activities,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
we
better
integrate
that
data
better
capture
that
data,
so
I
can
better
analyze
it
and
then
target
our
limited
resources
towards
needed
most,
as
well
as
increase
the
transparency
of
that
data
for
the
public.
So
I'd
like
to
put
out
in
20
or
2019.
N
And
lastly,
we
want
to
work
with
community
stakeholders
to
continue
to
work
with
the
city
staff
and
we've
already
had
some
great
deliberations
with
Oakland
Community
College,
as
I
mentioned
to
Oliver
Braithwaite
and
launching
our
first
three
year,
firefighter
apprenticeship
program
that
we
want
to
base
it
with
Evanston
Township
graduates
and
graduates,
our
fire
Explorer
program.
So
that's
something
that
we're
very
excited
about,
and
so
this
concludes.
My
2018
and
a
report
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
A
A
A
When
you
know,
we've
got
budget
challenges
and
everything
else
and
I'm
so
impressed
with
the
fact
that
it
has
been
going
up
and
with
the
same
amount
of
staffing,
you've
been
able
to
address
it,
but
it
seems
to
me:
we've
got
to
figure
out
a
way
to
address
the
fact
that
these
calls
keep
going
up
and
up
and
up
so
I'd
like
you
to
just
talk
to
us
a
little
about.
Why
is
that
occurring?
I
mean
our
population
isn't
increasing
to
my
knowledge,
I
guess
we'll
find
out
more
in
the
2020
census.
A
So
why
are
the
calls
increasing?
And
what
can
we
be
doing
and
I
know?
You've
got
the
partnership
with
the
Saint
Francis.
There's
one
thing:
what
more
can
we
be
doing
just
bend
that
curve,
because
I
just
worry
that
continuing
to
go
up
with
population?
That's
remaining
the
same
present
significant
challenges
to
our
city.
This.
N
Is
a
very
similar
question
that
you
had
asked
during
our
budget
deliberation
and
it's
a
very
good
one.
Well
we'll
see
to
what
extent
are
mobile,
integrated
community
paramedics,
a
para
medicine
program
will
have
an
impact
on
our
overall
call
button.
It
very
well
may
help,
because
what
you're
going
to
see
is
hopefully
a
reduction
of
those
folks
that
tend
to
reuse
the
emergency
department
and
any
a
mess
as
their
primary
medical
care.
N
The
fact
that
the
our
call
volume
is
going
up
is
something
that's
almost
a
national
trend
but
certainly
affects
us
locally
and
I.
Don't
have
a
firm
answer
with
you
and
how
we're
gonna
make
that
that
trend
bend
or
curved
downward
at
this
point,
but
I'm
looking
at
it,
I'm
always
looking
out
for
best
practices
nationwide
and
it's
something
that
any
good
chief
will
do
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
proactively
address
that
concern.
N
At
this
point
and
you're
right
about
the
fact
that
a
small
percentage
of
our
overall
call
volume
is
structure
fires,
but,
as
I
mentioned
before
during
the
budget
process,
it's
critical
that
we
look
at
our
apartment
is
not
so
much
in
response
to
a
production
style
model,
but
that
we,
our
department,
must
always
remain
resilient
and
capable
and
handling
whatever
emergencies
do
arise.
So
do
we
only
get
74
fires
in
2018?
We
did
out
of
those
74
were
approximately
12
to
15
multi
alarm
fires.
N
They
were,
but
we
need
the
requisite
amount
of
people
to
deal
with
those
emergencies
when
they
do
occur,
and
that's
where
we
get
that
95%
Savery.
That's
where
we
save
over
ninety
nine
million
dollars
worth
of
property,
but
I
share
your
concern
about
the
increase
in
call
volume.
I
share
your
concern
about
increasing
costs
of
our
Department
of
Public
Safety
between
us
and
police
combined
and
its
impact
on
the
general
fund,
and
you
have
my
commitment
to
always
look
at
best
practices,
especially
as
it
relates
to
nationwide
best
practices
to
address
those
issues.
A
All
right
is
there
a
way
to
somehow
triage
calls
that
are
the
calls
that
are
coming
in,
so
that
the
response
is
more
appropriate
and
possible
ESSEC
less
expensive.
Is
there
other
campaigns
out
there
that
other
communities
are
instituting
to
try
and
educate?
You
know
the
public
about,
what's
appropriate,
to
call
you
know,
911
or
not
appropriate
yeah.
D
O
N
With
respect
to
call
triaging,
that's
something
that
could
be
an
eventual
outshoot
from
our
community
paramedicine
program.
So
once
we
get
our
current
program
underway
and
then
it
evolves
successfully.
That
would
be
something
where
we
could
look
at
further
training
for
our
dispatchers,
for
example,
where
we'll
have
24/7
community
paramedics,
for
example,
and
we
can
then
diverge
resources
into
a
non-emergent
model
of
community
paramedicine
versus
maybe
the
traditional
9-1-1
ems
model,
for
example.
N
M
M
You
it's
where
I
first,
let
me
just
say:
thank
you,
I,
remember,
right
after
you
took
the
position
we
talked
about,
you
know
increasing
opportunities
for
Evanston
residents
and
building
on
the
work
the
Chiefs
Kleiber
did
so.
Thank
you
for
coming
up
with
a
plan.
I'm
sincerely
mean
that
so
just
two
quick
questions
and
I
know
it's
still
in
the
in
stage.
But
how
are
you
promoting
it
with
the
high
school?
M
N
We're
gonna
once
this
thing
gets
launched,
there's
gonna
be
plenty
of
promotion
of
this
program.
Okay
and
I.
Think
at
this
point
we're
still
in
the
very
very
beginning
stages
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
those
fire
explorers
yep
and
our
eveson
Township
high
school
graduates
in
terms
of
the
the
prerequisites
to
test
it's
just
a
high
school
diploma
for
us
still,
it's
distilled.
M
N
Ideally,
what
my
discussions
have
Oakton
have
been
is
that
by
the
time
they're
through
that
three-year
program,
they're
gonna
have
an
associate's
degree
in
fire
science,
we're
gonna,
be
through
the
fire
academy.
They're
gonna,
be
an
EMT,
Basic
great
and
then
they'll
be
ready
to
progress
right
into
the
into
our
department.
At
that
point,
right
so.
M
N
From
that
program
yeah,
it
would
be
limited
at
this
point:
yeah
we're
going
to
start
somewhere
and
hopefully
it
will
expand
and
hopefully
the
funding
will
expand
or
the
opportunities
will
expand
as
well,
but
even
we
can
get
it
going
with
one
or
two
individuals
sure
we'll
be
able
to
break
some
pretty
significant
ground
towards
that.
Thank
you
for
your
commitment.
Sure.
K
Thank
you
to
echo
out
my
breakaway
I'm
super
excited
about
the
advocacy
program.
I
know
you
all
are
super
excited
about
hiring
James
for
those
who
don't
know
I
I'm
a
big
fan
of
Scott's,
but
he's
worked
a
lot
even
on
the
state
level
and
the
state
unions
to
change
the
list
of
which
the
state
union
has
and
how
you
can
hire
someone,
and
he
fought
really
hard
to
be
able
to
go
a
little
deeper
into
the
pool
to
diversify
the
staff
at
the
fire
department.
So
I'm
I
applaud
you
for
that
personal
mission.
K
Do
you
have
a
question
following
up
to
what
the
mayor
asked?
Can
you
go
to
the
slide
before
this
one?
Just
I
want
to
get
clarity,
because
the
numbers
that
you
and
the
mayor
talked
about
are
a
little
bit
different
than
these
numbers.
So
you
talked
about
I.
Think
ninety
did
you
say
like
there
were
90
fires
or
something
so
no.
N
N
K
N
K
If
you
go
out
I
know
now
we
go
out
and
there's
all
these
different
apparatuses
that
we
send
out
to
assess
and
I'm
not
sure
what
has
what
equipment
is
still
but
I.
Imagine
you're
looking
into
there,
maybe
there's
a
way
that
we
can
take
out
one
truck
and
then
that,
like
an
SUV
and
not
taking
out,
you
know
two
long
trucks
on
a
call.
I
know
they're,
not
all
called
trucks,
they're
engines
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
but
I
know
that's
very
much
appreciated
needed.
K
You
have
to
kind
of
get
there
and
assess
and
see
what
you
need,
but
I'm
hopeful
that
you're
looking
at
that
kind
of
model,
because
every
time
you
take
a
truck
out
you're
taking
out.
Obviously,
more
personnel
and
more
wear
and
tear
on
your
truck.
So
if
there's
a
way
we
can
take
out
one
engine
versus
you
know
two
or
three
I'm
hopeful
that
you'll
get
us
there,
because
those
might
be
small
decreases,
but
that's
the
way
that
we
can
I'm
assuming
trying
to
save
a
little
money
there
without
having
to
affect
our
staff.
K
And
then
my
other
question,
oh
I,
think
had
to
do
again
with
the
mayor.
This
conversation
about
public
education
for
when
we
call
9-1-1.
So
you
know
that's
that's
very
interesting
and
as
we
look
at
and
it's
probably
maybe
more
for
chief
cook,
but
as
we
look
at
the
news
and
people
who
call
a
9-1-1
on
things
of
which
are
not
emergencies,
I
imagine
you
probably
get
a
lot
of
9-1-1
calls.
I
know
I'm
always
asking
about
the
homeless
population,
but
for
people
who
you
know,
unfortunately,
are
using
you
as
their
medical
provider.
K
You
know
or
waiting
to
kind
of
the
last
minute
in
a
situation
and
when
they
need
to
call
you
also.
I
think
part
of
that
may
be
it's
a
mere
conversation
in
the
community
with
our
social
service
agencies
and
making
sure
of
their
support.
That's
offered
for
whatever
ailment
the
people
are
aware
of
that
support,
so
they
can
hopefully
access
that
support
before
they're.
K
At
the
point
of
needing
to
call
9-1-1,
imagine
get
a
lot
of
call
for
elderly
who
maybe
don't
have
even
a
medical
emergency,
but
don't
have
anyone
else
to
or
don't
know
if
they
have
anyone
else
to
reach
out
to
so,
maybe,
as
we
think
about
community
education.
I
think
in
my
mind,
that's
a
bigger
conversation
that
we
can
have
some
of
our
nonprofits
kind
of
help
with.
So
we
make
sure
people
just
are
aware
of
the
services
that
are
around
in
our
city,
but
I
would
love
to
work
on
that
mayor
if
you're.
K
If
you
have
some
thoughts
because
I'm
more
concerned
about
when
people
call
the
police
and
it's
not
a
police
issue,
you
know
when
we've
kind
of
moved
away
from
talking
to
our
neighbors
and
offering
our
own
neighborly
help
and
we've
gone
right
to
calling
911,
which
could
you
know,
maybe
not
in
well,
sometimes
thankfully,
not
here
in
our
city
but
so
I.
Just
wanted
that
to
support
you,
I.
N
N
All
our
fire
apparatus
have
not
only
cross
trained
personnel
who
are
serving
as
paramedics,
but
they
have
all
that
ALS
advanced
life
support
paramedic
equipment
on
them,
so
in
effect,
when
you
see,
for
example,
station
four
where
they
as
a
fire
engine,
you
really
want
to
look
at
that
as
a
combination,
ambulance
and
engine,
because
those
folks
are
able
to
get
to
someone's
home
within
a
matter
of
just
minutes
and
then
immediately
effect.
Care
is
als.
N
Trained
paramedics
not
allowed
apartments
can
do
that,
but
we
can,
and
so
it's
really
important
that
you
also
consider
those
facts.
Is
it
a
big
fire
truck
responding
on
an
EMS
call?
Absolutely,
but
the
most
important
thing
is
the
right.
People
and
the
right
equipment
are
getting
there
at
the
point
of
impact
to
have
a
positive
outcome
for
that
person
in
care.
Yeah.
K
And
I
and
I
totally
respect
that
again,
I
don't
know.
What's
on
each
truck
and
I
know
they
all
have
different
names
and
engine
and
whatever
and
I
think
my
goal
is
to
make
sure
if
we're
gonna
see
an
increase
in
these
calls,
and
we
don't
see
an
increase
in
our
bottom
line
to
pay
you
pay
more
staff
necessarily
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
it's
efficient,
but
it's
also
not
too
taxing
I
agree.
A
O
Okay,
we're
gonna
start
out
with
the
with
the
organizational
chart.
I'm
sure
many
of
you
all
are
familiar
with
the
Hilliard
Hines
report,
which,
in
a
sense,
call
for
some
flattening
of
the
organization
and
submerging
of
major
bureaus
in
order
to
make
it
a
little
bit
more
efficient
and
to
kind
of
put
the
span
of
control
in
more
of
a
uniform
perspective
across
the
police
department.
And
what
I
mean
by
that
is
how
many
personnel
can
a
supervisor
effectively
manage?
That's
what
they
talk
about
when
they
look
at
span
of
control.
O
O
Okay
to
2018
crime
numbers,
when
you
say
crime
numbers
we're
looking
at
the
ones
in
the
Uniform,
Crime,
Report,
murder,
criminal,
sexual
assault,
robbery
aggravated
battery
Dover,
your
crimes
against
person,
burglary
theft,
motor
vehicle
theft
and
arson
are
your
property
crimes.
This
is
what
we
report
to
the
state
of
Illinois
and
also
to
the
FBI,
and
we
get
a
crime
number.
O
This
is
a
crime
number
for
2017.
We
had
eighteen
hundred
and
ninety
nine
incidents
across
the
board
between
Part
one
and
Part
two
crimes.
So
you
see
a
decrease
in
2018.
The
crime
number
drops
to
1848
the
significant
increase
right
here
we
had
three
murders
in
2018.
We
had
aggravated
assault
that
occurred
in
the
latter,
part
of
December
of
2018
and
the
them
didn't
die
until
2019.
O
So
what
you
have
to
do
by
the
crime
stats
people
at
the
state
is:
go
back
and
reclassify
the
aggravated
battery
to
a
homicide,
and
that's
what
put
that
that
third
murder
in
2018,
so
you
got
a
200%
increase
there.
So,
when
you're
dealing
with
small
numbers,
this
increase
seems
to
be
large,
but
it's
really
a
really
small
number.
But
you
know
anytime,
you
have
a
resident
in
this
town
that
is,
that
is,
life
has
ended
under
any
circumstances.
O
It
is
nothing
to
be
taken
lightly
and
I
definitely
don't
take
it
lightly
and
I
got
murders.
On
my
mind
from
the
90s
today,
I'm
gonna
work
on
to
our
leave.
Here
you
had
a
hundred
percent
increase
in
criminal
sexual
assaults.
You
went
from
six
from
six
from
three
and
2017
until
six
robberies
pretty
consistent.
You
have
40
robberies.
In
2017
you
had
a
seven
increased,
their
17.5%
increase,
aggravated
assaults
aggravated
battery.
You
had
an
increased
air.
O
O
You
went
from
fourteen
hundred
and
twenty
two
thefts
in
2017
down
to
thirteen
58
or
60
minus
sixty
four
cases
or
a
4.5%
decrease
their
motor
vehicle
thefts.
You
had
a
decrease
also
of
eight
taking
it
down
to
twelve
point.
Seven
and
our
sense,
you
had
a
decrease.
You
went
from
eight
arsons
in
2017
two-six
in
2018,
or
minus
2,
or
minus
25%
total.
So
overall
we
had
a
2.7
percent
decrease
in
overall
crime
in
Everson
in
2018
and
that
you
know
any
percent
is
a
blessing.
A
P
O
O
Okay,
where
we
get
a
lot
of
which
since
I've
been
here,
we
get
a
lot
of
inquiries
about
the
Office
of
Professional
Standards
and,
as
we
all
know,
we
got
many
groups
out
there
that
have
an
interest
in
how
we
function
and
how
we
take
complaints.
So
a
complaint
registered,
which
is
the
most
basic
form
of
complaint,
is
an
allegation
of
misconduct
by
a
member
of
the
police
department
over
86,000
943
care
tickets
generated
or
calls
for
service
in
2018,
the
Office
of
Professional
Standards
investigated
three
CRS.
O
Now,
that's
a
small
number
and
I
have
to
ask
myself:
you
know:
always
you
know
I'm
a
numbers
person,
so
you
know
you
could
do
anything
with
a
number.
So
always
question
numbers
and
I'm
looking
into
that,
but
that's
what
they
had.
They
had
three
CRS.
They
have
one
excessive
force
complaint
with
a
pending
disposition
is
still
under
investigation.
You
have
one
excessive
force
complaint.
O
The
complainant
withdrew
the
complaint
and
they
had
one
bias-based
harassment
complaint
and
that's
with
a
pending
disposition,
but
make
no
mistake
about
it.
Everson
is
one
of
the
top
police
departments
in
Illinois.
It
always
has
been.
It
always
has
been
a
police
department
that
upholds
the
law.
It
always
has
been
a
police
department
that
strives
to
do
industry-standard
things
in
in
the
terms
of
mitigation
of
crime.
So,
but
when
you've
got
seventy
eight
thousand
people
in
a
town,
you
have
to
ask
yourself
about
these
numbers
sometime.
O
Okay,
the
Office
of
Professional
Standards,
continuing
departmental
inquiries,
their
complaints
that
are
minor
in
nature
DRS,
are
handled
by
first-line
supervisors
then
submitted
through
the
chain
of
command
to
the
Chief
of
Police.
Who
makes
the
final
determination
on
these
I?
Don't
relegate
any
of
these
decisions
once
they
get
to
my
desk
to
a
deputy
chief
I
have
to
sit
there
and
read
each
complaint,
which
I
have
been
doing
since
I've
been
in.
O
So
when
you
look
at
up
top
here,
you
have
the
statuses
that
could
emanate
from
any
type
of
complaint.
It
could
be
pending
withdrawn
unresolved,
not
sustained,
unfounded
exonerated
sustained,
not
City,
related.
So
for
improper
service.
We
have
five
a
total
of
five
complaints
there
for
unprofessional
conduct.
We
had
three
for
policy
violations.
We
had
two
for
miscellaneous,
which
could
be
a
whole
lot
of
those
mixed
in
together.
You
have
four
for
a
total
of
fourteen
complaints,
whether
they
D
is
Department
of
acquire
ease
or
administrative
reviews
throughout
2018.
A
Chief
just
a
question,
so
yes,
sir,
compared
to
the
other
side
in
this
slide,
so
the
other
slide
are
our
residents.
Are
somebody
in
the
public
filing
the
complaint
in
the
in
the
departmental
inquiry?
Is
sort
of
the
police,
policing
the
police
and
somebody
there
saying:
hey
I,
don't
think
you
handled
that
properly,
yeah
correct!
Yes,.
A
And
I
know
that's
something
in
the
Human
Services
Committee
I,
think's,
working
on
it
and
everything
with
the
citizen
police,
complaint
assessment
committee.
That's
important,
I
know
you're,
taking
a
look
at
it
and
that's
not
the
nature
of
our
conversation
tonight,
but
that's
one
of
the
things
they
were
looking
at
and
then
so.
The
second
slide,
then,
is
internal
internally
14.
O
Like
for
policy
violations,
you
know
we
can
listen
to
a
call
and
think
I
officer
did
some
and
then
I'll
say
well,
I'll
follow
what
the
rules
say
and
we
look
it
up
and
that's
normally
the
case
improper
service.
You
know
we
get
those
some
time
where
police
officer
goes
in
and
he
don't
do
the
best
job
that
he
can
do
so.
We'll
take
a
complaint
on
that
internally
and
try
to
straighten
that
out.
So
don't
happen
again.
Okay,.
K
K
O
A
lot
of
them
are
where
a
citizen
may
not
want
to
file
a
complaint,
so
just
because
they
don't
want
to
file
a
complaint
doesn't
mean
that
we're
not
going
to
take
one
we'll
say:
take
a
DI
out
or
AR
on
it
and
see
what
happened
in
that
situation.
Now,
that's
the
easy
thing
to
do,
because
we
have
video.
We
can
look
at
the
video
and
see
if
the
police
officer
made
some
mistakes.
If
so,
then,
we'll
move
forward
with
an
investigation,
okay,.
K
G
O
K
O
O
2017
was
a
spike.
Also.
Now
we
had
in
2018
41
administrative
reviews
and
I
call.
You
know
if
it's
a
situation
where
I'm
not
quite
sure
hard
to
have
Office
of
Professional
Standards.
Take
a
look
at
something:
use
of
force
is
governed
by
state
law,
departmental
policy
and
procedures.
National
law
enforcement,
attendance
and
police
training
when
force
beyond
mere
restraint
is
used.
Each
officer
involved
must
file
a
report
for
review
okay,
so
in
2016
we
had
51,
which
was
the
highest
year,
so
you
can
see
from
2016
or
2011.
O
We've
come
down
in
every
category,
weaponless
impacts.
We
went
to
11
non
impact
controls.
We
went
down
to
two
allegations
of
injury,
went
from
9
to
5
chemical
weapons,
went
from
the
use
of
2
to
1
impact
weapons,
went
from
1
to
0
deadly
force.
We
have
one
in
2016,
we
didn't
have
any
in
2018,
and
then
we
went
from
taser
deployments
from
12
to
11
for
a
total
of
27.
So
that's
pretty
standard
numbers
for
Department
this
size.
O
The
deadly
force
is
my
thing
and
the
public
having
a
way
to
voice
their
opinion
about
force
is
really
critical,
also
and
and
that's
evident
in
evanston
by
the
number
of
groups
being
formulated
to
look
at
police
policy
and
procedure
and
to
look
at
how
we
handle
complaints
and
in
their
disposition.
So
the
types
of
force
will
not
equal
the
total
use
of
force.
Several
types
of
force
may
be
used
in
one
incident,
resisting
arrest
and
obstructing
police
officers.
O
This
is
a
standard
type
of
charge
that
police
officers
like
to
sling
around,
so
you
have
to
kind
of
really
watch
how
this
is
instituted.
You
know
this
is
this
could
be
a
charge
that
could
be
unsubstantiated
if
you
don't
check
this
type
of
charge
right
here,
resisting
arrest
and
obstructing
a
police
officer.
O
O
Okay,
the
detective
bureau,
the
detective
bureau
handled
a
thousand
38
cases.
Those
cases
were
investigated,
they
had
142
arrests,
21
search
warrants,
cases
cleared
or
closed.
There
could
be
a
number
of
dispositions
to
have
566.
They
have
48
cases
cleared
as
unfounded,
132
cases,
clear,
no
prosecution,
141,
missing
person,
cancellations
and
three
homicides.
Mr.
yock
is
see
mark
two-mile,
major
and
mr.
Larry
Cox
sexual
sex
offender
registration.
We
have
444
sex
offenders
registrations
and
that
includes
the
weekly
homeless
registration.
O
O
M
O
I
was
told
week
we
can
do
that
and
they're
working
on
that
now
when
I
came
here
they
still
crime,
mapping,
right,
Violent,
Crimes
property
crimes
and
so
forth.
Manually
right,
that's
putting
our
plot
on
a
map
like
in
the
six
II
think
and
I
asked
that
question
to
the
city
manager
and
he
said
they
had
paid
for
that
already.
So.
O
L
O
O
You
know,
I
can't
speak
for
the
state.
I
know
what
we
got
here
and
a
person
what
I
was
told.
Okay,
you
know
they
come
in
and
actually
physically
register
with
us
right
and
part
of
the
problem
that
we
get,
that
the
state
don't
get.
Is
the
homeless,
which
we
have
a
large
population
of
homeless
people
in
this
town,
some
of
my
sex
offenders,
so
they
have
to
come
in
and
register
consistently
all
the
time.
So
our
numbers,
you
know
numbers-
are
skewed
easily
when
you
get
to
this
type
of
stuff.
So
if.
O
Sometimes
have
a
lot
less
population
and
a
lot
more
sex
offenders
and
and
those
people
they're
sent
here
by
the
state.
You
know
they
request
to
live
in
a
place.
So
when,
when
you're
talking
about
a
sex
offender
follow-up,
they
may
have
to
go
out
and
look
at
the
residence
what
a
person
is
and
determine
whether
or
not
it's
within
500
feet
of
a
school
or
daycare
or
things
of
that
nature.
So
they
do
a
sizable
amount
of
things.
With
respect
to
that
follow-up,
no.
P
O
O
O
O
O
They
had
a
171
arrests,
161
misdemeanors
and
nine
felonies
40
impaired
drivers
and
15
drug
arrests
to
have
446
crash
reports,
ridden
458
hit-and-run
follow-ups,
nine
campaigns,
and
what
that
is
is
you
know
the
seatbelt,
awareness,
speed
awareness
that
has
seven
I'd
grant
enforcement's
and
one
distracted
driver
campaign
to
head
our
473
car
seats,
install
where
you
come
into
the
station
and
get
your
baby's
car
seat
professionally
installed.
They
have
561
abandoned
Auto
investigations
and
23
major
crime
investigations
with
the
mcat
2
fatal,
one
major
injury
for
evident
17
call-outs
to
other
jurisdictions.
O
Avastin
received
first,
the
first
place
of
war
for
the
speed
awareness
campaign
in
2018,
the
IACP
traffic
safety
challenge
and
they
received
second
place
award
for
the
municipal
division
for
the
2017-2018
ICP
traffic
safety
challenge.
So
these
guys
are
out
there
doing
a
great
job
and
it's
being
recognized
by
the
state
and
the
International
Association
and
Illinois
Association
of
Chiefs.
Thanks,
see.
P
P
O
K
P
O
O
The
neighborhood
Enforcement
Team
this
is
net.
These
are
the
drug
and
gang
guys
within
the
Evanston
Police
Department.
They
have
62
arrests,
seven
misdemeanors
forty
five
felonies
and
Tim
warrants
thirty-seven
known
gang
members
and
forty
four
drug-related
arrests.
They
had
six
search
warrants
executed,
19
knotek's
tips
investigate
it.
You
can
call
in
a
tip
they
had
12
firearm
seized,
255
grams
of
cocaine
seized,
4840,
seven
grams
of
cannabis
seeds,
188
grams
of

59
grams
of

O
O
They
have
413
tablet,
seized
Hydra
caught
on
our
path
of
ham
and
methadone,
so
they
get
a
variation
of
drugs
that
they
seize
the
TAC
team.
They
did
73
arrests,
28,
misdemeanors,
23,
felonies
and
22
warrants
for
search
warrants,
executed,
15
firearms
seized
and
74;
I'm,
sorry,
47
surveillance
operations,
the
intelligence
officer
in
crime,
mount
analysis,
summary
generated,
98
tips
that
were
investigated,
115
bulletins,
issue,
149
special
projects
and
eighty
research
and
review
hours.
So
we
have
people
combing
the
internet.
O
Looking
for
all
types
of
crime,
sex
offenders,
gang
gang-related
incidents
and
so
forth,
and
then
that's
reported
out
today
to
see
most
appropriate
to
investigated
the
firearms
data.
We
had
ninety
two
incidents
involving
firearms,
ninety
handguns
and
two
other
firearms.
We
have
five
deaths,
two
murders
and
two
suicides
with
handguns.
We
had
ten
injuries
with
handguns.
We
have
48
handguns
confiscated
or
turned
in
37
were
confiscated,
2721
returned
again,
11
other
firearms
confiscated
or
turned
in
each
stolen
handguns
reported
and
35
firearm
arrests,
a
gun
from
the
gun
buyback.
A
C
R
R
We
spent
more
time
talking
about
the
streetlights
on
Emerson,
rich
Green,
Bay
than
almost
any
other
aspect
of
the
project,
and
that
was
really
eating
up
a
lot
of
energy
for
something
that
should
be
standardized
relatively
across
the
city
to
create
a
uniform
aesthetic.
When
we
look
at
the
tonnage
light,
that
is
an
iconic
light
that
really
sets
the
character
of
Evanston
and
there
isn't
a
reason
to
debate
the
lighting
in
every
instance.
R
So,
as
we
look
at
some
of
our
larger
streetscape
projects
and
those
are
continuing
to
be
ongoing,
we're
starting
the
main
street
McDaniel
to
pitner
at
the
west
end
of
Evanston
construction
the
spring
and
we're
starting.
The
study
for
the
Main
Street
business
district
on
the
east
end
the
spring.
Also.
We
want
to
make
sure
what
we're
doing
is
providing
the
right
aesthetic
for
Evanston.
R
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
not
17
different
types
of
lights,
for
our
maintenance
staff
to
try
to
stock
parts
for,
but
to
really
come
up
with
something
that's
more
standardized
to
make
it
easier
to
maintain.
The
system
is
6,000
lights,
fairly
complex
system,
and
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
what
we're
doing
is
cost-effective
for
the
residents,
while
allowing
them
to
weigh
in
it's
sort
of
a
more
global
look
as
to
what
the
aesthetic
for
the
city
should
be.
R
Finally,
we
of
course
want
to
look
at
our
environmental
sustainability,
our
energy
efficiency
and
and
dark-sky
friendliness.
We
don't
want
to
be
known
as
a
community
with
a
lot
of
light
pollution.
These
are
things
that
really
have
a
lot
of
quality
of
life
impacts
for
our
residents,
as
well
as
some
of
the
safety
issues
that
come
up
and
are
associated
with
street
lighting.
R
We
had
a
lot
of
meetings.
I
think
you
can
read
the
slide.
It
was
a
lot
and,
with
that,
I'm
actually
going
to
turn
it
over
to
our
consultant,
to
talk
about
the
details
of
some
of
this
information
that
we
found
and
really
get
into
exactly
what
happened
and
what
some
of
our
conclusions
were.
So
Mike
occurred
from.
I
Visceral
advances,
so
one
of
the
things
we
did
was
send
out
a
survey
to
residents
on
what
do
you
think
the
lighting
levels
are
on
this
street
different
streets,
major
streets,
collector
streets,
local
streets,
the
bike
paths
intersections
and
went
to
700
or
700
residents?
Responded
majority
of
all
of
them
thought
that
the
streets
were
too
dark.
I
Green
on
the
bar
is
too
dark
and
yellow
is
just
right
when
we
asked
people
what
they
thought
of
their
block
too
dark
and
just
right
we're
closer
together,
but
too
dark
still
led
the
path
early
on
the
project.
We
did
an
existing
conditions,
analysis
of
all
the
several
streets
represented
streets
in
the
area,
and
we
did
determine
that
most
of
the
streets
did
not
meet
IES
na
or
the
1979
city
of
Evanston
standard.
The
green
dots
up
here
represent
streets
that
did
red
did
not.
I
I
Pathway
lighting
did
meet
the
current
standards
by
IES
na
city
of
Evanston
has
no
current
standard
for
the
the
bike
paths
and
none
of
the
intersections
meet
the
way
the
intersection
luminance
works.
Is
it's
really
the
addition
of
both
streets,
local
and
local,
is
double
that
local
and
collectors,
those
two
some
together,
etc,
and
we
don't
meet
those
conclusions.
I
The
city
of
Evanston
lighting
standards
that
from
the
1979
study,
are
generally
less
than
the
IES
and
a
lighting
standards.
The
lighting
levels
throughout
town
regards
to
the
type
of
street
generally
do
not
meet
either
standard
tree.
Canopies
impede
lighting
levels.
The
power
centers
are
in
generally
good
condition,
there's
over
100
power
centers
in
town.
Those
are
the
controllers
that
control
the
light.
It's
in
good
condition
the
wires
in
good
condition
that
can
conduits
in
good
condition,
so
there's
a
bright
spot.
The
power
centers
are
unmetered.
I
We're
charged
a
flat
rate
by
combat
smart
lighting
does
not
exist
where
the
lights
talk
to
the
controller
and
vice
versa.
Everything
is
hardwired
and
existing
lighting
is
a
significant
source
of
light
pollution.
You
can
see
the
lights
out
there.
The
standard
tallmadge
light
has
lenses
on
top,
which
directs
light
straight
up,
which
is
light
pollution.
I
The
conditions
come
are
the
recommendations
coming
out
of
our
existing
conditions
and
analysis
are
Evanson.
Has
too
many
types
of
lights?
We
need
to
standardize
them
everyone's
moving
to
LEDs
and
so
should
Evanston.
We
did
do
a
Northwest
municipal
conference
survey
to
see
what
all
the
other
municipalities
were
doing
and
everybody's
moving
to
LED.
That's
the
one
thing
they
were
all
doing.
I
I
The
city's
alley
light
installation
policies
and
procedures
are
well-defined
and
should
remain
recommended
spacing
when
we
have
the
opportunity
between
trees
and
poles
should
be
25
feet,
light
shouldn't
be
allowed
to
cross
the
property
line
and
and
the
city
should
explore
smart
metering
I'm
moving
pretty
quickly.
If
anybody
has
a
question
put
up
their
hands,
stop
me
tell
me
to
slow
down
or
speed
up.
We.
L
Okay,
they're
not
sure
we're
gonna
get
to
this
point
or
not,
but
one
of
the
complaints
that
I
occasionally
hear
and
one
of
the
observations
they
have-
is
that
the
old
Talmadge
lights
they're
great
for
lighting
up
the
cars
on
the
street
but,
for
example,
pedestrian
right
under
the
pole,
you
won't
see
them.
The
new
design
casts
the
light
differently,
so
that
you'll
have
a
better
view
of
the
pedestrians
and,
what's
on
the
street
edge.
That's.
I
Correct
the
existing
lights,
the
light
source
is
visible
from
the
street
and
it
directs
the
light
out.
You
know
parallel
to
the
sidewalk
and
through
the
top
of
the
fixture.
Both
of
the
two
examples
we
have
out
here
have
the
light
source
in
the
lid
and
the
lights
point
down
to
the
pavement,
where
you
want
the
light
so
that
you
can
see
where
you're
walking
and
see
the
pavement.
Okay.
I
I
P
I
We
explored
one
thing
that
we
failed
to
mention
is
Union
metal
went
out
business,
they
were
the
supplier
of
the
4210
which
lights
in
town,
so
we
had
to
kind
of
go
and
explore
alternate
technology
on
the
left
there.
You
can
see
three
retrofits.
Those
were
made
by
different
manufacturers
to
fit
into
our
existing
tallmadge
fixture
to
make
it
led
to
the
right.
There
is
what
I
was
talking
about.
I
This
is
not
one
of
them.
These
are
the
recommended
CA
of
Evanson
lighting
levels,
I
think
you're
providing
a
handout.
With
this,
we
basically
took
a
blend
of
the
currency
of
Evanston
standards
and
the
IES
and
a
standards
and
develop
new
standards,
so
that
if
someone
was
to
develop
new
lighting
system,
they
would
be
able
to
go
to
this
and
go
OK
for
a
local
road.
I
I
So
here
are
the
standard
polls
that
we're
recommending
there's
about
1600,
damn
it
on
roadway
lighting
units
in
town.
Those
are
the
taller
poles
that
we
just
put
at
Emerson,
Ridge,
Green
Bay,
and
if
the
downtown
Fountain
Square
project
they're
anywhere
from
25
to
30
foot
high,
they
have
an
8
foot
arm
their
LED,
the
temperatures
less
than
3000
K
and
they
have
options
for
banner
arms,
receptacles
etcetera.
These
would
primarily
be
used
for
major
roadways,
collectors
and
busy
intersections.
I
Here's
the
the
big
lighting
unit,
there's
4200
talmonides
lights,
plus
or
minus
in
town.
We
recommend
replacing
the
luminaire
with
something
similar
to
what's
shown
out
there
full
lid
on
top,
so
we
eliminate
the
up
lighting
or
minimize
the
up
lighting
LEDs
that
point
down
to
the
pavement
more
efficient
lighting
with
complete
replica
poles.
I
I
I
Get
a
little
better
coverage
a
little
higher
the
light
or
the
higher
the
pole
a
little
broader.
The
light
reflects
down
onto
the
pavement.
They're
close
you
get
to
the
pavement,
the
smaller
the
lighting
level.
We
can
certainly
look
at
that.
That's
the
first
time
we've
heard
that
comment.
Actually,
okay,.
P
I
P
I
P
No
and
I
understand
I,
understand
and
that's
actually
the
important
part
of
it,
so
it
was,
it
was
as
I
was
telling.
This
is
in
city
manager
story.
Today,
the
original
tamas
lights,
Thomas
Thomas,
designed
the
shaft
and
the
base
with
the
waves
on
the
base,
and
the
oak
leaves
on
the
pattern
of
the
collar
on
the
shaft.
Whatever
you
call
that
and
the
luminaire
itself
was
from
a
catalog,
the.
P
G
A
P
G
P
Who
we
actually
sold
them?
You
could
find
them
on
eBay
for
a
while,
but
and
you
could
find
them
actually
in
other
communities
because
we
sold
the
old,
shorter
fixtures
to
other
communities.
But
the
one
I
know
that
does
exist
is
in
front
of
the
homestead
hotel
we
did
have.
We
actually
had
the
double
double
headed
ones
that
used
to
be
in
downtown
in
the
parking
lot
out
here
and
I.
Think
we've
replaced
those
okay.
I
Think
the
difficulty
is,
and
and
I
have
slides,
with
funding
options,
as
that
we
go
on
is
that
you
pretty
much
have
to
replace
a
whole
street
system
blocks
with
the
shorter
poles
at
a
significant
cost,
whereas
what
we're
really
looking
at
is
we're
going
to
order
10,
20
30
poles
to
handle
the
knockdowns
and
replacements
on
a
piece
by
piece
basis,
just
because
we
don't
have
budget
to
come
in
and
and
and
replace,
4200
poles
or
even
300
poles.
For
that
matter.
Okay,.
P
You
right
and
my
my
comment
was
only
to
say:
if,
if
we're
going
to
look
at
ultimately
replacing
all
the
poles,
do
we
want
to
consider
going
back
to
the
you
know
to
Thomas
Talmadge's
original
design,
I
mean
again
my
my
understanding
was
we
went
to
the
taller
poles,
because
at
that
time
we
had
the
we
had
the
canopy
of
elm
trees
and
taller
poles
fit
right
into
those.
Now
we
don't
have
that
so
does
it
make
sense
to
go
back
to
the
shorter
ones?
It's
just
a
question
sure.
K
Two
questions
so
I
have
some
of
these
lights
in
my
dish,
in
my
ward,
where
you
guys
put
in
the
trials-
and
it
was
a
bumpy
installation,
the
lights
were
way
too
bright
at
one
point,
but
am
I
correct
that
the
lights
are
the
lighting
levels
are
adjustable.
Is
that
right
Laura?
Do
we
had
this
conversation
last
year
whenever
it
was.
I
K
Okay,
no
I
was
gonna,
ask
what
the
glass,
so
we
are
now
looking
at
the
frosted
glass,
okay,
perfect
and
then
just
for
I
guess,
I
would
say
in
terms
of
Ottoman
best
suggestion.
I
didn't
I
have
no
loyalty
to
the
Tomich
bowls.
Honestly
I
could
really
care
less
about
them
and
God
bless
mr.
Tomich.
I
R
S
I
I
think
my
mind.
The
points
had
been
made
because
I
was
on
the
street
light
Commission
and
it
never
came
up
that
there
had
been
a
pole
that
was
shorter.
In
the
past,
I
mean
we
were
using
the
current
pole,
that's
out
there
and
you'll
see
probably
later
on
in
the
presentation
that
what
the
cost
would
be
to
us
right
now
if
we
were
to
replace
every
talmadge
pole
in
the
city.
S
At
this
point-
and
you
know,
you'll
see
it's
staggering,
so
I
do
think
we
should
decide
on
one
pole
or
the
other
and
I
and
I
agree.
I
would
question
I
agree
with
Aldrin
Fleming's
question
of
if
it's
taller
seemed
to
me
that
it
would
cast
a
larger
cone
of
light
and
so
taller
might
be
better,
but
you
know
having
a
piecemeal
mixture.
I
think
it
would
take
us
decades
before
we
had
uniformity,
so
I
I
just
think
it
would
be
it's
not
something
that
the
Commission
actually
studied.
S
P
I
I
Park
pathway
lighting
units-
these
are
what
we
currently
use.
We
would
recommend
sticking
with
this
again.
The
paths
were
the
one
thing
that
did
meet
standard
for
parking
lots.
We
recommend
the
shoebox
lighting
again.
This
is
what
you
currently
use.
There
would
be
powder
coated
black
with
the
square
classic
fixture.
One
difference
would
be
that
they
would
be
LED,
so
they'd
be
flatter
and
not
as
boxy.
Looking
as
what's
shown
in
the
picture.
I
While
pack
lending
you
that
you
have
these
in
tunnels
under
passes,
that
set
are
very
few
of
these,
but
again
we'd
recommend
a
standard
for
this.
Here
are
the
power
centers.
We
were
talking
about.
One
recommendation
we
would
make
as
to
as
budget
allows,
go
to
smart
metering
at
these
and
actually
meter
them
at
$550
a
power
center.
I
I
I
Upgrading
one
entire
power
center
power
centers
usually
have
about
a
hundred
lights
on
them.
This
is
just
replacing
the
luminaires
on
each
pole
is
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
If
you
were
to
do
a
full
replacement
of
a
power
center,
leave
the
the
wire
the
foundations,
the
controller
and
just
replace
the
poles,
it's
a
million
dollars.
I
Upgrading
the
entire
seat
of
Emison
power
center
and
lighting
system
is
sixty
million.
That's
four
new
poles
everywhere
in
town
and
then,
if
you
were
to
do
full
replacement
with
spacing
that
met
the
new
standards,
it
would
be
eighty
million.
So
that's
why
sticking
with
its
pole,
you
have
is
advantageous.
R
And
I
want
to
reiterate
that,
as
we
look
at
the
polls,
we
have
some
that
have
serious
maintenance
needs
there
along
our
arterioles
of
more
exposed
to
salt
and
corrode
more
easily.
The
old-style
polls
are
assembled
in
pieces
and
it
allows
water
to
get
in.
But
if
we
go
back
to
some
of
our
residential
areas,
those
polls
which
are
30
years
old
could
probably
last
another
20
or
30
years,
and
so
it's
not
necessary
perhaps
to
replace
everything
right
away.
R
I
Where
that
leaves
us
is
prioritizing
lighting
replacements
in
high
accident
locations
in
high
pedestrian
locations,
areas
surrounding
schools,
parks,
public
gathering
areas,
transit
hubs
and,
of
course,
areas
identified
by
the
police
department.
In
addition
to
the
knockdowns
we
get
every
year
and
in
general,
maintenance.
R
Okay,
so
we
do
have
a
livability
plan
which
is
sort
of
inflexible,
but
at
the
time
we
did
the
study.
We
looked
at
the
star
community's
system
to
try
to
understand
how
we
were
going
to
comply
with
good,
sustainable
and
livability
goals,
and
a
lot
of
these
goals
are
still
pretty
applicable,
even
if
their
star
system
is
migrating
and
it
has
a
lot
to
do
with
looking
at
our
Omni
light
levels
and
looking
at
our
light
pollution.
R
So,
as
we
went
through
that
and
looked
at
the
dark
sky
compliance
issues,
we
did
come
up
with
some
recommendations
related
to
how
we
move
towards
the
most
livable
city
in
America
in
terms
of
our
streetlights.
So
the
first
was
they
would
ask
that
you
develop
a
plan
of
aam
be
entitled,
and
this
is
something
that
would
be
challenging
for
staff
to
do
immediately,
because
it
involves
going
around
town
in
a
lot
of
places
and
taking
light
measurements.
But
it
is
something
that
we
could
maybe
partner
with
another
organization
or
with
volunteers.
R
We
haven't
really
come
up
with
plan,
how
to
do
it,
but
it
is
something
I
goal
to
work
towards
and
then
look
at
becoming
dark-sky
compliant,
and
there
are
several
things
that
you
have
to
do
to
be
dark-sky
compliant.
Some
of
those
are
relatively
simple
things
to
implement,
as
we
make
change
outs.
Making
sure
that
we
are
selecting
one
of
the
dark
sky
compliant
rules
is
that
the
color
temperature
is
supposed
to
be
3,000,
Kelvin
or
less.
R
That
is
a
warmer
yellow
or
light
that
is
less
inclined
to
interfere
with
your
sleep
and
levels
and
circadian
rhythms
versus
the
brighter
white
or
right
light,
which
is
more
at
4,000
or
5,000
Kelvin.
So
those
are
things
that
are
simpler
to
do
other
things,
such
as
running
multiple
public
education,
things
that
here
are
not
things
that
the
staff
is
proposing
to
do
to
become
dark
sky
certified
and
it
would
be
a
requirement.
R
These
are
things
that
if
an
organization
and
the
community
wanted
to
step
up
and
partner
with
us,
we
would
gladly
work
with
them
and
we're
probably
not
going
to
do
it
ourselves.
But
some
other
things
that
we
do
recommend
doing
is
setting
up
a
3-1-1
request
that
allows
us
to
gather
information
on
lighting
complaints
where
people
are
concerned
about
light
pollution,
glare
and
other
issues,
so
that
we
can
monitor
yearly,
what's
happening
in
terms
of
our
lighting
improvements
and
also
target
the
areas
where
we're
having
a
lot
of
complaints
occur.
R
And
then
we
can
make
some
modifications
to
our
city
code.
That
would
allow
us
to
not
just
on
the
public
side
but
on
the
private
side,
with
new
development.
Look
at
light
temperature
requirements
and
at
luminaires
that
down
light
rose,
so
the
more
dark
sky
friendly
versus
up
light,
and
that
is
our
last
slide.
So
if
there
are
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
them.
This
will
be
followed
by
a
discussion
about
how
to
acquire
new
Talmadge
poles.
P
R
Their
dark
sky
friendly,
so
the
issue
is,
if
you
look
back
at
the
park,
light
that
we
had
a
picture
of
and
the
shoebox
lights,
the
luminaire
is
literally
completely
down
with
a
Tomich
fixture.
Even
once
we
put
the
LED
lights
in
the
top.
We
have
sort
of
a
prismatic
frosted
lens
and
it
sends
just
a
little
bit
of
light
up
words.
R
It's
a
far
better
improvement
over
our
existing
Tomich
fixture
and
there
can
there
consider
dark
sky
friendly,
but
not
dark
sky
compliant,
so
our
tallmadge
lights
are
probably
not
ever
going
to
be
fully
dark
sky
compliant.
It's
just
not
possible
with
the
design
where
light
is
shooting
out
to
the
sides
that
way
to
get
full
dark
sky
compliance.
A
Thank
you,
I,
don't
see
any
other
questions,
so
thank
you
for
this
presentation.
Thank
you
very
much
alright.
So
there
was
a
motion
that
was
seconded
for
action
to
accept
in
place
this
semester.
The
streetlight
master
plan
on
file
the
city
are
all
in
favor
any
opposed.
Okay.
On
a
seven
to
zero
vote.
This
is
accepted
and
placed
on
file.
That's
SP!
Five
we're
gonna
move
to
SP
six
aldermen
wind.
Could
you
could
you
present
that.
S
Yes,
SSP
six
staff
seeks
approval
to
proceed
with
request
for
proposal
from
street
light
manufacturers
to
provide
proposals
to
cast
a
mold
for
a
Tallmadge
Street
light
pole,
supply,
Tallmadge,
poles
and
luminaries
for
either
a
five-year
or
ten-year
contract
for
the
following
materials
and
they're
all
listed
there.
Funding
for
the
casting
forecasting
the
Tallmadge
street
light
pole
will
be
provided
from
the
capital
improvement
program
for
2019
in
the
amount
with
a
budget
of
$70,000
I
move
approval.
M
E
A
P
Thank
you.
It's
the
alley,
paving
special
assessment
process
staff
recommends
City
Council
considered
changing
the
special
assessment
process
to
a
cost
split
of
75%
payment
by
the
residents
and
25%
payment
by
the
city.
Additionally,
if
residents
choose
to
pay
100%
of
the
alley
costs,
they
can
move
to
the
top
of
the
wait
list,
and
that
is
for
action.
Sir.
M
So
I
would
assume
that's
in
addition
right
because
we
have
various
funding
sources
like
CBD
jeev,
so
I
just
want
to
get
clarification
on
that
I
mean
I.
Think
it's
a
good
thing.
If
residents
are
gonna
pay,
but
just
as
soon
as
just
the
wording
of
this
threw
me
off
a
little
bit
and
I'm
trying
to
pull
up
the
packet
right
now
as
we
speak.
Thank.
T
The
board
of
local
improvement
has
accepted
the
last
petition
and
that
alley
is
going
to
be
constructed
in
2019
and
actually
kind
of.
We
got
to
the
that
list
faster
note.
We
thought
because
another
alley
that
we
were
that
was
on
the
list,
were
accepted
to
petition
the
property
owner,
supported
the
property
owners
owned
a
portion
of
the
alley,
and
then
they
would
not
sell
that
portion
in
the
alley
to
the
city.
T
So
then
that
that
alley
was
removed
from
the
list,
and
so
we
got
to
our
last
petition
and
approved
alley
in
2019
instead
2020
so
right
now
we
board
has
not
put
any
petitions
out.
We
have
not
accepted
any
petition,
so
this
presented
the
unique
opportunity
to
have
a
discussion
with
the
City
Council
to
find
out
how
they
want
to
proceed
in
the
future.
T
You
may
recall
back
in
2016,
I
came
to
the
City
Council
and
actually
tried
to
ask
for
more
funding
for
special
assessment
alleys
that
would
be
done
through
the
sale
of
additional
bonds.
At
that
time,
the
alderman
said
no
people
have
been
waited
on.
People
had
to
wait
on
the
waitlist.
Previously,
they
don't
see
a
challenge
with
that,
and
so
the
decision
was
made
not
to
increase
bond
issue
and
for
special
assessment
alleys.
T
One
of
the
ways
that
staff
felt
that
perhaps
we
could
try
to
accommodate
more
residents
were
to
change
and
stretch
the
dollars
that
we
do
get
allocated
by
saying
the
city
would
only
pay
25%
and
the
homeowners
pay
75%,
and
that's
where
we're
at
right
now.
So
it's
wide
open.
It
was
just
not
a
good
opportunity
to
bring
this
forward
to
the
council
to
find
out
what
they
wanted
to
do
and
that's
why
we're
here
tonight.
A
K
T
It
ties
in
the
entire
block,
so
after
we
received
the
petition,
we
make
sure
that
the
people
that
signed
it
were
accurate
and
then
we
advertise
a
public
meeting
and
so
everybody's
aware
of
it.
That
would
be
involved
and
if
they
come
in
at
that
time-
and
they
are
opposed
to
it
as
long
as
you're
still
over
50%
in
agreement
with
it,
and
we
have
communication
with
the
aldermen
and
they
want
to
proceed.
The
the
special
assessment
does
proceed.
It
involves
an
ordinance
and
it
is
introduced
and
a
second
reading
for
action.
T
K
You
know
I'm
going
to
oppose
this.
I
have
finished
with
similar
to
my
issue
with
the
sidewalks.
This
is
going
to
leave
some
residents
even
if
they
come
in
to
pose
with
the
bill
to
pay
for
the
alley
that
they
might
not
be
able
to
afford.
This
is
also
going
to
leave
residents
who
you
know.
Maybe
you
want
to
have
the
alley
done,
but
people
aren't
going
to
sign
the
petition
because
they,
you
know,
can't
afford
it.
K
So
this
is
gonna
leave
again
when
we
talk
about
equity
individuals
who
can't
afford
it
the
inability
to
have
a
paved
alley
and
I
know
you
know
where
I
live,
it's
kind
of
hit
or
miss
where,
when
I
walk
through
some
of
the
Ninth
Ward
more
valleys
are
paved
I
understand
they
get
CDBG
funding
Awards,
don't
get
CDBG
funding,
so
you
know
I,
don't
I,
don't
love
the
way
it's
set
up.
Now
that
you
know
kind
of
50%
of
the
neighbors
can
decide.
K
You
know
I,
don't
mind.
50%
of
the
neighbors
I'd
like
a
block
party,
but
50%
of
the
neighbors
can
decide
something
that
gonna
have
a
cost
that
people
might
not
be
able
to
pay.
You
know
I,
take
I,
take
issue
with
that.
So
I
appreciate
you
trying
to
get
more
alleys
paved
and
trying
to
think
about
how
to
do
that.
But
I
am
gonna,
oppose
this
and.
T
If
I
may
I,
just
if
people
are
economically
qualified,
they
don't
have
to
be
in
the
CDBG
area.
If
we
do
a
special
assessment
in
the
area
and
the
property
owners
are
qualified,
they
can
get
CDBG
funding
to
cover
their
portion
of
that
special
assessment.
So
it
doesn't
particularly
say
you
have
to
be
in
a
CDBG
area.
The
individual
property
owner
can
be
qualified
to
get
CDBG
funding
for
their
portion
of
the
alley,
improvement
and.
A
T
I
would
assume
that
we
would
continue
just
with
the
50/50
percentage
as
it
is
now
and
that's
how
we
were
just
released.
The
petitions
that
would
go
out
to
the
top
five
residents
that
have
had
the
petition
in
or
requests
for
a
petition
for
the
longest
time.
We
would
just
fill
out
the
form
indicating
that
costs
would
be
split
50/50
and
get
an
estimated
cost
of
what
the
alley
would
be
and
how
much
each
property
owner
would
have
to
pay.
At
that
rate,
yeah.
T
At
that
time
we
were
about
192
thousand
dollars
short
for
the
the
alleys
that
we
were
attempting
to
do
at
that
time
later
in
that
year,
northwestern
paid
several
one-time
easements
that
they
needed
and
I
came
back.
I
think
two
council
meetings
later
and
suggested
that
we
use
front
a
portion,
the
funding
that
we
got
from
the
payment
of
the
easements
for
those
alleys,
and
we
were
able
to
complete
all
the
alleys
that
we
had
for
that
year
of
using
that
money.
But
since
then
we
have
not
issued
any
easements.
T
U
T
Very
few:
it's
my
understanding
that
very
few
communities
use
this
used.
A
special
assessment
process
to
get
alleys
improved.
The
50-50
split
is,
is
totally
arbitrary
and
was
decided
by
as
a
policy.
Only
it's
not
in
any
ordinance.
It
was
just
a
policy
of
the
City
Council
to
establish
it
at
5050.
At
one
time,
homeowners
did
have
to
pay
a
hundred
percent.
It
was
how
the
city
was
able
to
say
well.
T
This
street
has
to
be
paved
and
we're
not
going
to
charge
the
entire
population
we're
going
to
charge
the
people
who
will
get
the
most
benefit
from
it.
So
the
special
assessment
process
allows
you
to
charge
on
representative
property
owners
or
I.
Guess
you
could
go
to
one
percent.
The
city
decided
5050
as
a
policy.
Okay,
yeah.
U
Up
by
me,
the
longtime
residents
remember
when
Colfax
wasn't
paved
all
the
way
to
Crawford's
so,
and
this
is
like
ongoing
struggle.
Do
you
have
a
sense
of
how
many
unimproved
alleys
there
are,
and
what
would
we
be
looking
at
and
I
mean
not
right
now,
obviously
like
what
would
be
looking
at
if
we
wanted
they're,
just
in
total
cost
for
what
it
would
be
to
him
to
pave
all
the
alleys
that
are
unimproved
I,
don't.
T
U
The
other
I
think
the
difficulty
that
my
neighbors
have
and
is
that
all
the
alleys
in
Evanston
are
treated
differently
for
various
reasons.
There's
different
soil
conditions,
there's
different
uses
for
the
adjacent
buildings,
but
my
experience
is
that
people
think
that
5050
is
not
an
awesome
deal
to
begin
with
and
if
we
were
to
go
to
7525
split,
even
if
that
makes
financial
sense
would
further
alienate
residents
who
live
on
unimproved,
alleys,
yeah
and
I.
Just
wonder
if
we
could
figure
out
a
way.
U
A
lot
of
people
feel
like
Ali's
our
responsibility
of
the
municipality,
to
care
for
and
maintain,
and
if
there's
a
figure
out
a
number
and
then
a
fair
way,
and
then
we
could
end
up
not
doing
it
anyway,
but,
like
it
just
seems
like
it's
crazy
to
ask
more
than
50/50.
That's
at
least
like
a
mental
number
that
people
understand
that
going
halfsies
but
like
when
you
know
different
fractions.
U
T
U
Also
like
say
that
you
and
Edgar
are
excellent
at
Ally
complaint
remediation
whenever
it
comes
in
and
that's
the
biggest
issue
that
I
get,
and
particularly
this,
this
one
I
think
with
freeze-thaw
has
been
really
really
rough.
So
I
know
that
you're
dealing
with
limited
resources
and
a
big
problem
in
a
population
that
has
high
expectations
so
I
know
you're
in
a
difficult
spot
as
well.
Thank.
M
Thank
you,
Dave
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
also
have
some
issues
with
supporting
this
as
well,
because
the
economics
but
I
I
just
want
for
clarification
in
case
someone's
watching
this,
because
there's
no
mention
of
the
CBD
gee
pool
that
goes
around
and
so
I
can
follow
up
with
you
after
the
meeting.
But
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
bucket
that
moves
from
the
CBG
target
areas,
each
Ward.
That
program
is
not
going
to
be
changed.
Correct.
No,
no.
T
M
V
M
V
M
T
Have
the
option
of
paying
all
at
one
time
or
they
can
pay
over
ten
years
if
they
pay
over
ten
years?
There
is
an
interest
rate
that
is
applied
to
that
tent,
and
that
is
just
recently
we
just
at
that,
so
it
matches
the
current
interest
rates.
Forget
the
specific
rate
that
we
follow,
but
we
track
that
and
use
that
now
it
used
to
be
I,
think
15
percent,
and
that
was
too
high.
So
we
came.
G
T
T
P
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
well,
infrastructure
is
one
of
our
one
of
our
goals.
I,
think
and-
and
this
is
important
to
do-
I-
would
support
staying
at
5050,
but
not
going
above
that.
Having
had
my
heli
replaced
in
the
past
ten
years
with
beautiful,
concrete
I
know
that
people
are
very
interested
when
there
is
a
an
issue
affecting
a
sewer
or
something
in
the
city
comes
and
cuts
through
the
alley
and
then
repairs
it
with
asphalt
and
people
are
like.
P
Oh,
my
gosh
I
spent
this
much
on
a
beautiful,
concrete
alley
and
now
part
of
its
been
cut
away
and
replaced
with
asphalt.
So
I
think
it's
fair
for
us
to
to
say
we
take
responsibility
for
our
part
of
the
alley
and
I
think
that
will
be
much
much
much
more
acceptable
to
adjacent
property
owners
than
asking
them
to
put
75%.
So.
P
P
T
B
Statutorily
the
clerk
serves
on
the
board
of
local
improvements.
I
just
do
want
to
clarify
that
this
is
a
two-part
request
from
director
stone,
Beck,
which
is
one
the
75
split
and
then
also
allowing
folks
the
hundred
percent
payment
to
move
to
the
top
of
the
line
so
just
want
to
clarify
and
make
sure
that
we
do
look
at
those
two
issues
separately.
I
do
have
one
concern
with.
T
Okay
and
again
the
the
the
engineering
fees
and
the
legal
fees
are,
they
are
done
with
in-house
staff,
so
we
don't
contract
that
out.
So
our
engineering
team
designs,
the
alley
and
our
city
attorney
or
the
representative
goes
ahead
and
files
the
special
assessment
through
two
through
two
courts.
So
it's
not
a
cost
other
than
our
pay
roll
to
get
that
done.
T
G
A
M
I
didn't
I
was
just
going
to
make
that
motion,
but
just
with
the
clarification
just
the
way,
this
reads:
if
you're
100%
it's
a
little
bit
misleading
to
state
it,
as
you
were,
jumping
to
the
head
of
the
line,
I
think
that's
why
I
said
I
didn't
see
anything
about
the
CB,
VG
projects
and
I.
Think
it's
in
addition
to
vs.
and
we
can
play
round
the
wording.
M
T
M
S
S
A
A
Right,
SP,
seven
alley,
paving
special
assessment
process
to
change
the
cost
share
from
50
50
to
75
25
75,
presenting
the
residents
and
25%
being
the
city
fails
to
pass
the
City
Council
on
a
seven
to
zero
vote,
which
means
it
will
remain
at
50-50
cost
share
between
the
city
and
the
residents.
Aldermen
win
so.
S
S
T
M
S
L
And
personally,
I
don't
have
much
of
a
problem
with
the
waving
of
the
fees
actually
I.
Think
that
makes
some
sense.
What
gives
me
a
little
bit
of
concern
is
that
the
the
neighbor
approval
process
is
more
than
fifty
percent
correct
more
than
fifty
percent
okay,
it
is
correct
and
then
I
think
it's
also.
Your
vote
is
based
on
your
frontage.
Is
that
also
correct,
or
no
no.
T
M
P
L
Concern
I
have
is
that
more
than
50%
of
the
people
on
an
alley
might
have
the
resources,
and
you
know
others
might
not
so
I'm
inclined
to
want
to
do
this,
but
I
think.
Maybe
what
we
might
require
is
that
there
be
some
kind
of
a
super
majority
to
approve
the
hundred
percent.
So
in
other
words,
let's
say
like
70
percent,
who
have
to
have
to
approve
it.
If
you're
going
to
do
the
hundred
percent
option.
T
Would
not
be
the
case
at
this
point
in
time
when
we
go
out
indicating
that
the
property
owners
would
pay
100
percent
of
the
cost
of
doing
the
alley
and
and
the
petition
would
indicate
how
much
that
is
per
unit
for
that
event.
And
then,
if
they
got
a
petition
signed
with
right
now,
the
way
it
is
it'd
be
more
than
50
percent
of
the
property
owners.
Then
then
it
would
come
to
the
board
a
local
improvement
for
approval.
T
There
would
be
a
neighborhood
meeting
and
at
the
neighborhood
meeting-
and
this
has
happened
before-
where
people
who
had
voted
in
favor
deciding
they're
no
longer
in
favor
and
then
the
petition
gets
denied,
but
if
all
of
them
that
stayed
in
favor,
because
it's
already
more
than
50
percent,
then
it
generally
moves
ahead.
At
that
neighborhood
meeting
we
also
Express,
which
council
meeting
the
ordinance
would
be
introduced
and
then
the
following
councilman
derpy
action.
So
given
the
homeowners
the
opportunity
to
come
so.
Q
S
With
alderman
Wilson
that
there
would
have
to
be
a
supermajority
because
I
think
that's
very
unfair
to
other
residents.
If,
if
we
only
have
51%
of
neighbors
I
mean
I
already
have
neighbors,
who
are
mad
about
street
humps?
If
there's
only
51%
of
who
agrees
so
I
can't
imagine
how
people
would
feel
a
51%
of
the
neighbors
voted
for
100%
payment.
S
A
Why
don't
we?
What
if
we
had
city
staff,
go
back
on
this
one,
because
we
got
the
CDBG
issue?
We've
had
a
discussion
about
this
they've
heard
some
of
the
thoughts
of
the
councilmembers
and
they
just
bring
this
back
at
a
future
council
meeting.
Just
this
we've
taken
care
of
the
7525
and
said
we
want
that
to
remain
5050.
Is
that
sound?
Okay
and
two
folks
say
we
got
a
lot
of
other
things
on
the
agenda.
All
the
benefits.
Do
you
want
to
say
anything
or
you
get
different?
A
Okay,
all
right,
so
that
takes
care
of
sp7
and
in
city
staff.
Deputy
city
manager,
you'll
you'll.
Take
it
from
here
to
work
with
mr.
stone
back
on
that
we're
gonna
move
now
to
SPE,
which
is
just
an
item
for
discussion.
It's
the
bridge
improvement
project,
design
and
they're.
Looking
for
City
Council
provide
direction
on
the
preferred
method
of
improvement
to
the
Union
Pacific
Railroad
Bridge,
which
is
the
big
bridge
here
in
town
at
the
intersection
of
Emerson
Ridge
in
Green.
Bay,
welcome
good.
W
Evening,
mayor
Haggerty,
Alderman
clerk,
read
I'm
Chris,
Pineda
senior
project
manager
and
I'm
going
to
discuss
the
bridge
improvements
project
at
Emerson,
Ridge
Green
Bay.
So,
as
you
all
know,
we
have
currently
have
a
fabric
covering
up
on
the
bridge
and
I'm
gonna
go
through
three
options
for
a
more
permanent
solution
here,
so
option
one
is
to
just
remove
the
covering
no
additional
improvements
would
be
needed
once
we
take
it
down.
This
would
require
minimal
coordination
with
the
Union
Pacific
Public
Works
staff
will
be
able
to
take
this
covering
down
in-house.
W
Option
two
is
to
clean
and
paint
the
bridge.
This
is
what's
currently
in
the
2019
CIP
and
it's
budgeted
at
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
What
you're
seeing
here
is
the
Central
Street
bridge,
which
was
painted
by
U
P
in
the
year
2000.
So
this
system
is
expected
to
have
around
a
25
year
life
span,
so
you
can
see
we're
19
years
into
this
one
and
it's
still
holding
up
pretty
well
so
out
of
the
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
that's
budgeted.
W
Fifty
thousand
is
for
the
traffic
control
and
signal
timing
work
to
actually
do
the
do.
The
phasing
of
the
construction
and
the
other
300,000
is
to
actually
clean
and
paint
the
structure.
What
we're
expecting
to
get
with
that
budget
is
to
paint
all
the
front
facade
of
it.
These
these
peer
members
and
any
lower
trusses
that
you'll
see.
We
would
also
like
to
include
the
underside
of
these
trust
members
that
you
can
see
in
that
picture,
but
we'll
set
that
up
as
an
alternate
to
see
how
the
bids
come
in.
All
this
work
will
follow.
W
So
the
third
option
would
be
a
some
sort
of
decorative
structure
or
banner
system.
So
the
main
consideration
with
this
plan
is
you
Pia
has
let
it
known
that
we
can
no
longer
hang
anything
directly
from
the
bridge
they
that
impedes
their
inspections,
which
they
do
twice
a
year.
It
was
also
only
meant
to
be
a
temporary
covering
that
we
had
up
there.
W
So
what
this
leaves
us
with
is
is
a
structure
resembling
like
what
you
see
up
here
on
the
screen
and
any
free-standing
structure,
regardless
of
it
has
a
fabric
screen
or
a
rigid
structure,
is
gonna
have
to
be
fairly
robust,
even
the
lightweight
fabrics
act
as
a
big
sail
and
and
you'll
still
need
a
substantial
structure
to
hold
it
up.
It's
it's
worth
noting
on
on
these
structures.
Here,
the
actual
height
of
them
is
fairly
narrow.
W
Our
intersection
here
as
much
will
have
a
much
taller
sign
structure
as
well
as
this
span
is
only
about
fifty
feet
and
our
longest
span
is
a
hundred
and
twenty-five
feet.
So
I
I
only
point
that
out,
because
if
you
look
at
the
the
size
of
these,
these
supports
that's
holding
it
up,
we're
looking
at
something
much
more
substantial
than
this.
W
So
here's
that
the
longest
span
that
I
mentioned
this
is
125
feet.
So
the
first
step
in
this
option
would
be
to
engage
a
structural
engineer
and
a
feasibility
study
and
the
design
of
the
structure
we
estimated
that
cost
at
fifty
thousand
dollars.
So
the
reason
we're
doing
a
feasibility
study
is,
we
have
some
strong
concerns
if
we're
even
able
to
fit
a
structure
like
this,
if
you
notice
the
size
of
this
center
island,
the
distance
between
that
pier
and
the
roadway
is
pretty
minimal.
W
Also,
on
the
other
side,
Street
you
see
there,
you
have
a
traffic
signal.
Arm
almost
definitely
be
impacted,
so
assuming
that
we
are
able
to
do
something
like
a
decorative
structure
like
this,
the
the
life
span
really
varies
depending
on
what
type
of
system
you
go
with.
We
looked
at
some
of
the
decorative
banners
there
they're
generally
more
temporary
applications
and
you're
looking
at
about
a
three
year
lifespan
before
they
need
replaced.
Hey.
M
Know
all
together,
you
don't
have
to
take
the
time
now,
but
just
in
a
real
competitive
budget
season,
when
I
see
numbers
like
this
I,
just
it
just
blows
my
mind
and
I'm
really
trying
to
get
my
head
around
I
know
it's
more
than
a
wire
brush
and
a
spray
cape,
okay,
let's
break
and
a
paid
but
I'm
just
just
to
break
down
that
number.
For
us
I
mean
it's
a
huge
number
for
painting
a
bridge,
and
maybe
you
can
share.
W
To
build
a
full
containment
system
around
the
bridge
whenever
you're
cleaning
it
you
have
air
monitors
set
up
so
that
no
debris
can
leave
that
containment
system,
since
it
does
have
lead
in
it
our
time.
So
it's
a
pretty
robust.
It's
done
in
multiple
phases.
Each
phase
it's
completely
enclosed
and
covered
as
they
move
across
the
bridge
section.
So
it
doesn't
take
a
very
long
duration.
But
it's
a
it's
a
very
intensive
operation
to
clean
and
paint
these
bridges
all
right,
Chris.
A
W
W
A
W
T
T
And
I
assume
that
that
could
be
done,
but
then
that
would
be
expensive
as
well,
because
you
have
to
get
railroad
insurance,
you
have
to
work
with
them
to
get
up
there
and
even
if
we
turn
in
a
report,
they
would
say
our
structural
engineers
disagree
with
your
structural
engineer
and
I.
Don't
know
that
that
would
be
any
benefit
to
us.
A
I,
don't
like
I,
don't
like
that
one
bit
again
I'm
annoyed
by
this
eyesore
in
our
community.
But
that's
that's
been
UPI's
position.
They
do
have
some
different
programs
that
you
can
look
to
to
try
to
apply
for,
and
some
of
our
city
staff
have
looked
into
those.
But
that's
ups.
That's
ups
position
ultimate
was.
L
And
I
know
that,
like
you
and
I
and
others
visited
some
of
these
bridges
with
engineers,
and
they
did
the
little
explanation
and
why
they're
not
going
to
fall
down
I
think
for
a
number
of
years
they
were
sharing
whether
or
not
the
bridges
passed
the
inspections.
Are
they
still
sharing
that
information
with
you
I
recall
that
there
was.
There
was
an
issue
on
Homeland
Security.
They
won't
give
you
the
inspection
reports,
but
I
think
that
they
were
just
providing
us
with.
You
know
in
you
know,
an
indication
that
they
had.
T
L
Like
to
you
know,
we
can
regroup
offline
but
I'd
like
to
kind
of
revisit
that
with
you
pee
and
get
them
back
on
track
with
just
you
know,
providing
you
notification
that
they
passed
again.
They
express
their
reasons
for
why
they
can't
share
the
actual
engineering
report
for
homeland
security
reasons
etc,
but
at
the
same
time
they
should
be
willing
to,
and
they
were
in
the
past
willing
to
advise
us
that
they
did
in
fact
pass
the
inspections.
I.
L
Think
it's
important,
particularly
when
you
look
at
ones
like
you
know:
dumpster
street
Main
Street,
where
you
have
currently
unused
structures-
and
you
know
you
can
put
your
fingers
through
the
rusted
out
portions
on
some
of
the
structural
portions
and
again
they've
they've,
determined
that
the
actual
overall
bridge
structure
itself
supposedly
is
in
no
danger
of
falling.
But
you
know
every
time
I
get
on
that
platform.
L
You
know.
I
have
a
little
bit
of
pause
on
on.
You
know
believing
so
I'm
also
wondering
with
with
the
the
nature
of
the
materials
that
were
used
in
the
past.
I
presume
that
the
that
there
must
be
some
kind
of
runoff
with
the
paint
or
it's
it's
chipping
and
peeling,
there's
their
building
codes
requiring
lead
paint.
Remediation
generally,
is
that
correct,
or
maybe
we
can?
Maybe
we
can
take
a
look
at
at
some
of
those
remediation
ordinances.
U
C
J
T
Again,
the
reason
that
we're
coming
back
now-
this
is
for
discussion
and
I,
know
that
last
year,
when
we
talked
about
this
in
May
of
2018,
the
payment
last
year
was
removed
from
the
capital
improvement
program
before
we
spent
any
time
and
effort
on
on
doing
anything.
With
this,
we
wanted
to
talk
to
you
again
and
find
out
what
the
desire
to
counsel
was
so
we're
not
recommending
any
one
of
these
options.
We're
letting
the
City
Council
make
the
decision
on
this
and
look
forward
to
ever.
S
T
Touching
this
thing:
no,
we
should
not
be
touching
it
and
again,
if
we
did
hire
structural
engineer,
we
would
that
structural
engineer
would
have
to
get
permission
from
yupi
to
get
up
on
their
bridge
and
do
any
work
on
it
at
all.
So
I
I
don't
know
whether
that
person
would
ever
be
given
permission,
but
you.
T
I'm
fairly
certain,
when
we
contact
them
and
say
we
would
like
to
take
these
down
that
they
will
make
arrangements
for
us
to
do
that
right
away.
Okay
and
they
literally
I,
don't
know
it's
hard
to
see
on
that,
but
they
are
held
by
c-clamps.
And
so
it's
just
a
clamp
that
you
screw
down.
Okay,
that's
how
it's
a
temporary
fixture
holding
it
in
place,
because
we
were
not
allowed
to
make
any
permanent
adhering
device
to
the
bridge.
L
T
L
S
A
A
And
so
my
understanding
is
both
for
safety
reasons.
You
pee
in
the
city
thinks
that
perhaps
we
should
take
this
burlap
sack
down
and
I've
also
talked
to
some
of
the
art
communities
like
the
the
arts,
account
I've
talked
to
the
Arts
Council
or
some
of
the
folks
that
are
affiliated
with
it,
particularly
the
the
folks
that
do
a
lot
of
the
murals
around
here,
the
husband
and
wife
I'm,
forgetting
their
name
right
now.
That's
not
ducks
yeah
I've
talked
to
them
and
they
think
actually
sort
of
the
rustic
look
actually
taking
it
right.
A
Now,
it's
sort
of
half
falling
down.
It
actually
looked
better
with
all
the
work
that
the
city,
this
is
an
old
photo,
but
all
the
work
the
city
has
done
underneath
it
with
the
murals
and
the
in
the
the
other
public
art
piece
that
we
put
there
that
it
actually
looked
better.
So
it
looks
pretty
bad,
but
anyway,
let's
see
a
couple,
other
questions
or
lights
on
alderman
Fisk
and
then
alderman
4/8
rate
them.
For
me,
yeah.
P
Just
so
really
briefly,
we'll
take
the
burlap
down
and
I
hope.
We
all
agree
on
that.
I
like
to
get
it
painted,
but
I
absolutely
agree
with
alderman
Wilson
that
we
need
to
have
more
conversations.
The
other
question
I
had
for
Lara
was
when
we
did
and
I
think
Laura
you're
the
correct
person,
but
when
we
did
the
the
work
on
the
intersection,
did
we
replace
any
of
that
concrete?
Did
we
do
anything
with
the
supports
around
the
base
of
the
the
columns
there.
R
So
we
did
not
what
all
we
basically
did
was.
We
just
poured
sort
of
a
concrete
cap
over
the
existing
sort
of
deteriorated
gravelly
concrete
that
was
there
and
then,
when
we
installed
the
art
installation
stitch
underneath
there
we
we
did
cut
into
it
and
put
in
a
very
shallow
foundation
system,
but
we
coordinated
that
with
yupi
and
they
gave
us
permission
to
do
it.
We
had
to
be
a
certain
distance
away
from
their
footings
and.
R
They
want
to
make
sure
that
we
did
like
with
the
art
installation
that
it
wasn't
going
to
be
able
to
be
something
that
could
provide
access
to
the
fridge,
so
it
couldn't
have
been
higher,
because
people
could
have
climbed
up
on
it
and
gotten
on
top
of
the
project.
So
they
had
a
series
of
rules
mostly
just
leave
our
stuff
alone.
You
work
in
your
space.
Stay
away
from
our
space
sort
of
thing
was.
P
M
M
Curious
no
I
mean
our
staff.
Just
it
part
of
the
presentation
left
me
with
a
thought
that
this
is
one
of
the
worst
bridges
in
town.
That
was
the
impression
that
I
was
left
with
and
so
I
guess
I'd
asked
the
mayor's
if
we
could
have
an
updated
report
on
the
last
time
it
was
inspected
and
I.
Don't
know
I'm,
not
a
engineer
but
I'd
be
curious
to
know.
If
we
just
had
someone
independently
look
at
that,
what
could
they
tell
us?
M
K
L
L
You
know
I
feel
like
we
should
press
them.
You
know
I
know
that
I've
talked
to
a
number
of
the
press
members
here
and
some
of
them
were
at
that
engineer
and
walked
through,
but
I'm,
very,
very
weary
of
not
just
this
bridge,
but
particularly
dumpster
and
Main
streets.
Stuff
falls
off
of
them.
You
know
little
chunks
of
concrete
they've
got
netting.
It's
it's
very
I'll,
just
be
really
super
diplomatic
and
say
old-school
with
hell
they're.
You
know
taking
care
of
that,
but
I
feel
like.
L
S
I'm
actually
trying
to
look
this
up,
but
a
few
years
ago
the
end
Northwestern
engineering
department,
I,
did
a
study
and
they
may
say
actually
still
be
doing
it
of
CTA
bridges
in
Chicago,
where
they
were
using
sort
of
vibration,
meters
and
a
number
of
other
tools
that
they
put
installed
on
bridges
and
or
just
below
bridges.
And
then
they
did
an
analysis
for
CTA
on
their
structural
engineering,
for
the
CTA
bridges
and
I'm
just
trying
to
look
it
up,
but
I
couldn't
find
it
so
I
mean
we.
S
We
live
in
a
city
that
has
a
first-class
engineering
department
at
a
world-class
university,
so
they
need
things
to
study
and
so
I
think
that
that
might
be
worth
worth
looking
into
and
I'd
so
like
just
to
find
out
it
I
mean
about
what
other
communities
have
done
and
I
know.
They
say
that
these
are
structure
e
structurally
intact,
but
I
mean
there
are
other
hazards,
as
alderman
Wilson
said,
to
any
pedestrian
going
underneath
the
bridge.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
right.
So,
on
SP,
a
bridge
improvement
project
design.
This
was
for
discussion,
the
the
general
the
consensus
of
it
was
to
move
forward
director
director
stone
back
on
the
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollar
expenditure,
but
to
go
ahead
and
and
remove
the
the
burlap
you
ever.
A
M
You
mr.
mayor
I'd,
like
to
move
item
sp9
for
action,
proposed
projects
funded
by
the
waste
transfer
station
funds,
staffs
recommending
City
Council
authorized
city
manager
to
provide
the
engineering
design
for
the
2019
alley,
improvements
to
be
funded
by
the
waste
transfer
station
funds,
the
number
to
authorized
staff
to
begin
to
discuss
the
ComEd
to
obtain
property
adjacent
to
the
alley
north
of
lyons
east
of
Sderot.
In
order
to
improve
this
alley
in
2020,
funding
for
this
construction
of
the
alleys
installed
in
2019
would
be
provided
by
Capital
Improvement
Fund
account.
M
This
account
draws
funds
from
the
settlement
funds
awarded
to
the
city
in
2016
in
the
dollar
amount
of
1
million
two
hundred
and
sixty
three
thousand
two
hundred
and
forty
seven
dollars
and
ninety
cents.
The
estimated
cost
to
improve
the
three
alleys
is
five
hundred
sixty
thousand.
This
is
for
action
there.
A
second.
M
I
just
want
to
thank
staff,
I
mean
we've
waited
a
long
time.
This
is
Orcas
started
with
myself
in
all
green
homes
and
continued
with
all
them
Simmons.
So
thank
you
all
for
supporting
the
use
of
the
funds
and
looking
forward
to
improving
the
quality
of
lives
of
residents
that
live
in
close
proximity.
Great
I
think
as
well.
I
would
like
to
give
a
special
shout-out
to
Kumar,
as
well
as
the
citizens
group.
A
Alright
sp9
proposed
projects
funded
by
the
waste
transfer
station
funds
in
the
amount
of
560
thousand
dollars,
was
approved
on
a
seven
to
zero
vote
by
the
Evanston
City
Council.
All
right
we're
gonna
move
to
SP
ten,
which
is
additional
street
cleaning
dates.
Staff
recommends
that
the
City
Council
authorize
the
city
manager
to
approve
additional
street
sweeping
at
the
end
of
the
season
if
weather
conditions
permit.
This
was
for
action.
Is
there
anyone
that
would
move
that
move
approval?
Second,
second:
any
discussion:
it's
all
to
meet
safranin
I.
U
X
X
This
is
our
current
color
of
our
temporary
signs
that
we
put
up
for
street
cleaning,
so
our
proposal
and
adding
the
additional
dates
if
you're,
currently
first
Thursday
at
a
month,
we
would
just
be
adding
the
third
Thursday
of
the
month.
This
will
go
on
at
the
temporary
and
come
off.
It
will
go
up
in
October
and
October
come
off
at
the
end
of
December.
So.
T
T
The
standard
sign
of
and
and
that's
our
big
we'd
love
to
get
this
word
out-
is
to
have
all
resin
and
sign
up
for
either
the
email
or
a
text
alert
to
advise
them
when
the
street
cleaning
would
take
place,
because
you
really
do
want
better
compliance
with
that
and
it's
very
easy
to
get
these
states.
So
we
would
highly
encourage
everyone
to
do
that.
They've.
U
T
U
T
S
S
K
About
the
text,
messages
actually
happens
if
we
can
talk
to
Economic
Development.
Recently
there
was
a
lady
who
doesn't
live
in
Evanston,
but
parks
on
the
streets.
She
works
in
Evanston
and
you
know
it's
an
emergency
snow
day
and
she
you
know
she
just
had
no
idea.
So
maybe
we
can
talk
to
business
owners
to
make
sure
they
tell
their
employees.
G
K
T
M
This
is
just
a
Erica
I
mean
our
311
is
a
pretty
sophisticated
system.
We
can,
you
know,
call
out
to
neighbors
based
on
their
neighborhood
and
we've
tested
it
for
emergencies.
Can
Regis
through
the
technology
push
the
text
messages
to
residents,
even
though
they
haven't
opted
in
I
mean.
What's
the
it
seems
like
a
very
simple
thing
to
do
to
do.
We
have
that
I
guess
my
questions.
Do
we
have
the
technology
and
then
we
can
figure
out
if
it
makes
sense
to
do
it?
Yes,.
M
C
We
also
have
the
park
Evanston
app,
which
we
really
intend
to
utilize
this
year,
with
more
and
more
services
being
provided
through
that
app,
including
the
wheel
tax
renewals
that
will
come
online
this
year.
We
can
send
push
notifications
through
that
app
reminders
and
sign
up
for
text
messages
and
that
that
can
be
pretty
successful
too.

So
thank
you.
Mister
stone
back
we're
gonna,
move
on
to
SP
eleven,
which
is
the
winter
winter
weather
aftermath.
City
staff
are
recommending
that
the
council
authorize
the
city
manager,
prepares
city
code,
modifications,
prove
the
safety
for
the
general
public
and
improve
services
provided
by
the
city.
This
is
for
action.
Is
there
anyone
that'll
move
that
okay.
G
A
Y
You
mayor
a
good
evening,
mayor,
Haggerty
clerk,
read
Alderman
assistant
city
manager,
I'm
here
to
talk
about
snow,
everybody's
favorite
subject.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
One
of
the
things
we
want
to
cover
here
is
just
give
you
an
update
of
the
2018-2019
season,
as
well
as
some
observations
that
we
had
and
some
recommendations
that
we
also
have,
along
with
some
statistics,.
Y
Excuse
me
so
the
first
slide
here
is
our
2018-2019
season.
Snow
total.
This
is
taken
from
October
1st
to
it
says
till
today,
but
yesterday's
storm
is
not
included
in
this,
so
for
February
are
showing
2.3
inches.
You
can
add
close
to
another
four
for
that,
as
you
can
see,
November
started
off
pretty
quiet.
We
missed
that
blizzard.
Everyone
was
talking
about.
We
did
get
about
three
and
a
half
inches
with
that
snow.
Y
It
was
very
wet
and
some
of
the
problems
that
came
with
that
also
was
that
it
was
in
the
middle
of
our
leaf
cleaning
season.
So
because
of
that
the
leaves
got
buried
in
snow,
and
it
was
also
one
of
the
coldest
November's
on
record
so
because
of
that
they
froze
down
to
the
street.
So
we
had
a
lot
of
difficulty,
removing
removing
the
leaves,
and
we
did
notice
that
a
lot
of
residents
were
putting
leaves
out
into
the
out
into
the
street,
which
was
making
the
problems
even
worse.
Y
December
we
didn't
have
much
snow
and
then
came
January
and
January
first
to
be
exact.
We
were
in
here,
pilots
and
also
for
the
month
of
January.
We
had
a
twenty
four
point,
two
inches
of
snow,
and
this
is
here
in
Evanston.
Those
measurements
were
taken
right
at
the
service
center
2020
as
battery
the
average
snowfall
here
in
Evanston
is
actually
ten
point,
eight
inches
for
January.
So,
as
you
can
see,
we're
more
than
double
that
we
also
had
a
0.15
inches
of
ice
and
in
February
is
stated
with.
Y
Yesterday's
storm
were
closer
to
seven
six
and
a
half
inches
of
snow.
But,
as
you
can
see,
that
number
there
we're
almost
at
point
four
inches
of
ice
to
me
into
a
lot
of
people
that
fight
snow,
a
half
inch
of
ice
there's
a
lot
more
dangerous
and
I
mean
we're
more
weird
of
that
than
I
have
foot
of
snow.
We
did
have
two
snow
storms.
Excuse
me
two
ice
storms
in
February,
and
this
was
the
first
time
in
nine
years
that
any
ice
warnings
went
into
effect
for
our
area.
Y
So,
just
some
stats
on
January
to
reiterate
a
little
bit.
We
had
21
days
with
at
least
a
trace
of
snow.
Again,
the
snow
accumulation
was
24.2
inches
ice.
The
average
snow
accumulation
is
usually
ten
point.
Eight
total
ice
was
0.15
out
of
all
those
snow
days.
There
were
two
events
where
we
had
more
than
six
inches
of
snow
and
those
two
events
put
into
effect
some
parking
restrictions
which
I'll
talk
about
shortly
and
then,
of
course,
everyone
remembers
polar
vortex
not
too
long
ago.
Y
So
how
did
all
that
snow
affect
our
operations?
Well
overtime,
hours
for
Public,
Works,
Agency,
fleet
services
and
parking
enforcement?
Employees
just
for
the
month
of
January,
came
out
close
to
just
over
4800
hours
at
a
price
of
284,
almost
$285,000,
and
that's
just
all
in
overtime
police
also
encourage
some
overtime.
They
had
690
hours
close
to
forty
seven
and
a
half
thousand
dollars,
so
that
also
meant,
with
all
the
snow
activity
that
we
had
with
the
cold
temperatures.
That
also
meant
that
we
had
to
use
more
material
for
salt.
We
use
approximately
306.
Y
Excuse
me
three
thousand
six
hundred
and
seventy
eight
tons
as
you
can
see
the
price
right
there
and
that's
typically
half
of
what
we
use
during
a
full
season.
We
usually
use
seven
thousand
tongues
in
a
season
and
we
used
it.
We
used
half
of
it
in
one
month,
gallons
of
brine
is
used,
was
sixty
two
thousand
four
hundred
and
seventy
six
and
a
cost
of
only
five
thousand
dollars,
and
we
use
seven
thousand
three
hundred
and
thirty
five
gallons
of
blend.
Now
what
blend
is
it's
a
mixture
of
brine?
Y
Y
So
speaking
on
the
so
emergency
is
and
snow
route
parking
bans
totals
are
on
the
top,
we
relocated
or
told
1,050
vehicles.
Total
number
of
citations
issued
by
the
police
department
were
one
thousand
one
hundred
and
six
total
number
of
citations
issued
by
parking
enforcement
officers
were
two
thousand
two
hundred
and
seventy
eight,
and
that
brings
the
total
number
of
tickets
to
3384
that
were
issued
during
those
events.
Now
the
snow
route
restrictions
were
in
effect
on
the
night
of
January
19th
into
the
20th
and
January
28th
into
the
29th.
M
G
M
Less
about
the
snowfall
more
about
the
budget
impact,
so
I'm
just
curious
to
know
like
are
we
tracking
more
than
we
did
last
year,
just
based
on
the
increased
weather,
and
how
does
it
compare
okay,
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
now,
but
I'd
love
to
see
it
later
on
yeah
we'll
get
together
for
you.
Thank
you,
sir
I.
C
Also
just
want
to
mention
on
this
slide
the
difference
between
the
first
snow
event
and
the
second
snow
event
was
that
the
tickets
were
almost
reduced
by
half.
So
people
were
more
aware
that
an
you
know
of
an
event
and
what
they
needed
to
do,
and
so
there
we
saw
a
huge
reduction
in
the
amount
of
tickets
issued
for
the
second
event,
yeah.
Y
Y
So
here
are
some
operational
issues
that
we
ran
into
during
the
course
of
this
year.
One
of
the
things
that
we're
noticing
now
is
we're
having
multi-day
storms
before
we
would.
You
would
have
a
storm
6
or
8
hours.
It
would
end
you
would
clean
up,
that's
it.
It
would
be
done,
but
now
we're
getting
into
a
24
hour
36
hour
storm
where
we
have
to
run
a
12-hour
shifts
basis.
Y
Another
scary
thing
is
actually
we're
starting
to
getting
a
lot
more
ice
storms
rather
than
snow,
precipitation
and
I
know
I've
gone
to
a
couple
of
seminars
and
conferences
where
they
believe
that
is
because
of
the
climate
change
that
is
going
to
be
the
norm.
Certain
weather
that
st.
Louis
has
been
experiencing
is
moving
up
to
Chicago
and
we'll
be
experiencing
some
of
that.
So,
along
with
these
multi-day
storm,
is
actually
means
more
over
time.
For
us,
you
know
the
duration
of
the
storm
means
we
need
to
be
out
there
patrolling
the
roads
making
sure.
Y
Even
though
it's
ended,
if
the
lanes
are
still
wet,
it
doesn't
refreeze
and
of
course,
with
that
duration,
it
means
we're
going
to
be
using
more
de-icing
material
agents
as
well
mm-hmm,
so
another
one
of
the
issues
that
we
encountered,
of
course
was
the
historic
cold
temperatures
and
we'll
get
into
detail
about
that
later
on.
But
just
one
give
you
guys
some
notes.
As
far
as
its
effectiveness
on
materials,
salt
becomes
less
effective
at
about
15
degrees
Fahrenheit.
After
that
it
starts
having
trouble,
you
need
to
start
adding
some
additional
de-icing
agents
to
it.
Y
So
another
thing
that
the
cold
temperatures
did
it
had
a
bad
effect
on
our
vehicles.
A
lot
of
you
know:
some
of
our
vehicles
are
diesel
engines,
so
the
diesel
fuel
could
actually
gel
up.
So,
even
though
we
were
here
during
the
polar
vortex
days,
we
were
out
monitoring
because
we
were
still
actually
snowing.
A
lot
of
people
were
it's
too
cold
to
snow,
but
we
were
still
getting
snow,
so
we
were
out
monitoring
for
drifting
because
we
had
height
winds.
Y
We
had
with
the
wind
chills
in
45
below,
so
we
were
out
there
patrolling,
but
we
started
noticing
you
know
what
the
trucks
aren't.
Acting
right,
hoses
are
becoming
brittle.
Let's
bring
them
up,
let's
cycle
them,
outlet
enum
just
to
make
sure
we
don't
have
too
many
issues
with
them
out
there
we
had
effect
on
combat
customers.
Director
storm
Beck
will
speak
on
their
a
little
bit
later.
We
also
had
some
three
issues
which
I'll
touch
about
a
touch
on
in
a
bit.
Y
We
have
about
a
50
degree
difference,
and
it's
for
you
know
40
above
so
that
free-stall
cycle
has
just
been
wreaking
havoc
on
our
pavement
and
we're
doing
what
we
can
to
make
sure
we're
filling
out
filling
up
the
potholes
before
the
next
storm
comes
because
there
seems
to
be
one
every
other
day
on
water
mains.
We
did
have
four
water
main
breaks
in
January,
but
that's
not
unkind
and
that
wasn't
caused
by
the
polar
vortex.
Y
Our
fleet
is
just
starting
to
show
its
age
a
lot
of
the
snow
fighting
equipment
that
we
use
is
constantly
going
back
to
fleet
to
get
work
done
or
it's
being
taken
out
of
service,
and
it's
nothing
really
that
the
crews
out
there
are
doing
it's
nothing.
That
I
mean
fleet
has
been
doing
an
amazing
amazing
job,
keeping
us
running,
making
sure
that
we're
out
there
being
able
to
fight
the
storm.
But
a
lot
of
these
vehicles
are
just
rusting
through
and
are
just
a
hazard
for
the
operator
to
actually
drive.
Y
K
Flynn
figure
with
some
staff
I
remember
last
year
we
had
we
got
some
reward
about
having
some
great
fleet
and
so
on
and
so
forth
and
I
know
on
a
P&W
when
the
fleet
purchase
has
come.
We're
always
asking
you
know.
How
long
are
these
machines
gonna
last
so
maybe
it
at
another
time
makes
sense
to
have
a
rapport
kind
of
an
inventory
of
where
we
are
with
our
fleet.
K
C
We
have
as
part
of
the
City
Council
goal
settings
that
we've
just
selected
the
dates
for
this
evening
and
we're
planning
to
do
a
tour
of
the
fleet
over
at
the
service
center,
probably
for
that
Saturday
meeting,
where
we're
going
to
invite
the
council
to
come
across
the
street
via
the
equipment.
Talk
about
some
of
the
issues
that
we
have
with
the
age
of
the
fleet.
C
Yes,
you're,
correct
fleet
did
win
an
award
that
was
for
operations
how
we
maintained
how
we
our
process
runs
all
of
those
things,
but
the
age
of
the
fleet
is
very,
very
old
and
it
is
a
major
challenge
for
all
city
departments
to
get
you
know
adequate
usage
and
be
able
to
perform
their
daily
operations.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
concern
for
the
council
to
discuss
over
the
years.
C
We've
got
a
lot
of
backlog
infrastructure
for
both
facilities,
meaning
the
buildings,
but
also
for
the
fleet
in
terms
of
how
we
can
move
forward
on
putting
a
dent
in
that
after
the
recession
in
2010
we
sort
of
stalled
on
a
fleet
replacements.
We
slowly
tried
to
add
that
back
up,
making
a
small
dent
in
it,
but
really
overall
we're
really
far
behind
on
where
we
should
be
and
that'll
be
a
continuing
conversation
as
we
move
forward
with
the
City
Council
goals.
P
First
of
all,
Edgar
you're
doing
an
amazing
job
I'm
every
time
I
see
an
email
from
you.
I
go.
Oh
thank
goodness
you're
here.
So
thank
you
for
everything
that
you
and
your
staff
are
doing.
My
question
is
about
salt.
Are
there
any
alternatives
to
salt
out
in
Switzerland?
They
use
sand,
they
don't
use
any
salt
at
all
and
the
reason
why
I'm
asking
this
question
is
that
salt
is
caustic.
P
Y
P
Y
I
would
say
yes
because
you
can
wash
the
vehicle
to
get
their
residual
salt
off
the
thing
that
you
speak
of
sand.
There
are
some
municipalities
more
so
like
I
died
and
tollway
they
use
abrasives.
But
all
that
really
does
is
give
you
traction.
You
don't
get
any
melting
from
that
all
the
data
is
providing.
You
is
just
pretty
much
stability
and
traction,
and
the
bad
thing
with
that
it
gets
into
the
sewer
system
and
I
mean
there's
more
damage
caused
by
that
later
on.
So
there
are
some
de-icers.
Y
Y
They
work
great,
especially
in
sub-zero
temperatures,
but
again
there's
some
risk
and
some
hazards
with
that.
So
taking
everything
into
account.
As
far
as
I
know,
I
mean
salt
is
the
the
way
to
go.
You
know
you
just
got
to
make
sure
you're
managing
it
correctly.
You're,
controlling
your
splatter
and
you're,
just
informing
and
educating
both
the
public,
and
especially
the
plow
operators
that
are
out
there
spreading
it
to
make
sure
we're
being
as
efficient
and
as
smart
as
possible.
Y
Now,
if
frost
cracks
are
caused
by
extreme
cold
temperatures,
where
a
tree
will
actually
freeze
and
then
burst,
to
create
a
defect
and
that
defect
will
never
truly
heal
or
seal
over,
it's
usually
not
a
big
issue
depending
on
where
it
is,
but
during
these
past
days
we
did
find
a
lot
in
the
trunks
were,
unfortunately,
some
trees
that
have
to
be
removed
because
they
were
hazards.
Another
one
of
the
issues
is
just
a
weight
on
limbs
with
this
last
ice
storm
a
lot.
Y
It
just
broke
a
lot
of
the
limbs,
and
you
also
added
35
mile
an
hour
winds
to
that
and
we
had
crews
out
there
just
inspecting
trees.
In
case
things
were
happening
and,
of
course
we
were
out
there,
picking
up
branches
that
have
fallen.
It
also
weighs
down
the
branches
and
it
doesn't
allow
some
of
our
larger
trucks
to
pass
down
the
street
all
the
way
to
the
curb
in
order
to
clear
its
own
and
then,
of
course,
they
cause
the
leaves
on
the
streets
and
alleys,
and
that
becomes
a
hazard.
Y
So
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
talk
about
is
public
perception
and
some
issues
and
in
the
main,
one
the
main
one
main
three
one
request
that
I
get
is
snow
onto
Parkway,
driveways
and
crosswalks.
We
everybody
out
there
is
doing
their
best,
try
to
minimize
this,
but
unfortunately
it's
unavoidable.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
the
Northwest
municipal
Conference
sent
out
a
survey
to
27
municipalities.
We
were
one
of
them.
Y
Our
neighbors
Wilmette,
Skokie
Glenview
also
participated
and
they
asked
if
any
of
them
do
anything
to
try
to
prevent
snow
into
driveways
and
crosswalks,
and
not
one
person
said
yes,
everyone
says
it's
just
unavoidable.
It's
it's
part
of
the
clean-up
game,
so
somebody
said
they
were
thinking
about
it,
we're
playing
around
with
ideas,
but
the
cost
and
the
downtime
would
just
be
too
much
for
our
area
and
our
geography
here
that
it
just
wouldn't
work.
Y
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
do
say
again
it's
unavoidable,
but
we
do
have
some
suggestions,
and
that
is
just
instead
of
shoveling,
your
driveway.
If
there's
something
we're
driving
out
into
the
street,
putting
on
the
parkway,
if
you
are
gonna
shovel
into
the
street,
don't
shovel
it
upstream,
where
the
trucks
gonna
come
shovel
it
downstream.
Y
So
that
we're
not
putting
that
back
onto
you
onto
your
driveway
now
your
neighbor
might
get
mad
at
you,
but
worry
about
that
later
and
then,
of
course,
wait
until
the
end
of
the
storm
to
actually
clean
the
driveway
I
know:
that's
not
always
the
case
you
can.
You
have
to
go
somewhere,
but
just
you
know
do
what
you
can,
so
you
don't
have
to
keep
going
out
there.
We're
obviously
doing
everything
that
we
can
are
trying
to
minimize.
But
again
it's
unavoidable.
Y
Another
few
questions
that
I
get
is
just
in
the
direction
of
plows
I.
Had
a
few
residents
asking
why
we
plow
to
a
certain
direction.
Why
not
the
other
one
but
there's
actually
a
lot
of
factors
why
we
plow
the
way
we
do
travel
of
traffic
wind
parking
that
all
affects
the
way
you
plow
and
also
creating
wind
rows.
So
when
you're
a
resident
once
as
well
you're
going
towards
my
car?
Well,
that's
right
because
I
can't
shovel
it
and
excuse
me
plow
it
and
leave
a
windrow
oncoming
traffic.
That's
a
hazard
for
that
vehicle!
Y
So
and
now
that
would
happen
that
has
to
stay
there
until
they
come
all
the
way
back
around
to
get
it.
So,
yes,
we
shovel
to
the
curb
and
then
on
the
next
go-around
we'll
come
back
the
other
way
to
their
curb.
You
know,
and
you
also
don't
want
to
be
fighting
the
wind
as
well
trying
to
plow
one
way
and
it's
just
blowing
it
right
back
at
you
right
back
I'm
on
the
road
Edgar.
U
Can
you
or
some
other
Public
Works
tell
where
every
piece
of
equipment
is
in
real
time
during
a
snow
emergency?
Yes
through
our
AVL
system?
Okay,
so
you
know
where
everyone
is,
and
you
can
help
make
decisions
on
where
to
put
people
based
on
the
conditions
you
were
talking
about
wind
or
whatever?
Yes,
thanks.
K
It's
I
know:
I
have
called
you
every
time,
I've
called
you.
It's
been
about.
One
of
these
perception
issues
and
my
my
issue
with
it
is
I
mean
I,
try
to
be
mindful
of
what
the
truck
can
and
cannot
do,
but
when
I
see
the
truck
go
and
and
I'm
less
concerned
about
the
driveways,
but
at
the
end
of
the
streets,
particularly
when
you
have
you
know
a
lot
of
children,
who's
still
in
the
snow
need
to
walk
and
I
know.
I
have
several
very
active
neighbors
who
are
in
wheelchairs
and
I've.
K
Seen
the
plow
and
I
don't
know
how
to
drive
a
plow
but
I've
seen
the
plow,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
they
could
kind
of
continue
carrying
that
snow
past
the
crosswalk,
because
I've
seen
them
just
kind
of
leave
the
snow
at
the
crosswalk.
So
then
you
have
not
only
the
snow,
but
you
have
a
mountain
of
snow.
K
We
all
know
that
freezes-
and
you
know
who
knows
if
the
person
who
lives
at
the
corner
is
going
to
go
out
and
shovel
that
or
not
so
and
I-
know
you're
working
on
this,
but
I
do
think.
I
would
like
to
push
you
a
little
more
again.
Let's
concern
about
the
the
driveway,
because
the
car
can
probably
go
over
a
mound
of
snow,
but
when
you
get
to
those
crosswalks,
particularly
near
schools,
I
think
I
think
we
have
to
do
a
better
job
about
at
least
not
leaving
the
pile
of
snow
there.
K
And
then
my
other
question
is
well.
How
does
that
end?
You
can
tell
me
later
cut
this
late,
but
I'm
interested
in
how
we
do
decide
where
to
leave
the
snow,
because
there's
also
a
dead
end
near
my
house,
and
those
people
you
know,
have
to
kind
of
use
that
dead,
end
and
kind
of
turn
their
cars
around.
But
then
frequently
snow
is
also
left
right
there.
So
it'd
be
good
for
me
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
you
know
how
much
where
they
do
plow
the
snow
to
I
know.
K
Y
It
could
vary
by
storm
just
by
the
one,
the
intensity
of
the
storm
or
to
how
much
snow
they
actually
have
where
they
can
put
a
little
bit
here,
a
little
bit
there
or
if
they
don't
have
any
room.
You
know
we
would
find
a
space
outside
of
traffic
outside
of
any
sidewalk
anything
to
push
it
to
then
we'll
come
back
and
haul
it
out
later,
but
you
know
just
varies
depending
on
the
storm
yeah
and
every
route
driver
goes
out.
Y
M
Well,
my
last
question
is
so
I
the
day
of
the
heavy
snow.
I
saw
a
couple
of
cars
that
were
damaged
one,
particularly
in
my
ward,
about
a
block
away
from
my
house.
I'm
curious
know:
how
do
we
pay
for
it
and
what
happens
to
the
driver?
Who
has
accidentally
hit
the
car?
And
you
can
email
me
if
you
don't
have
an
answer
right
now?
Okay,.
T
One
thing
I
really
want
to
mention
is
how
well
the
the
the
whole
city
staff
team
together
during
the
polar
vortex,
we
had
lots
of
communication.
Thank
you
and
everybody.
Every
department
has
a
slide
up
here
on
how
well
they
did
here's
our
our
power
outages.
So,
if
you're
interested
in
this,
this
is
internet.
This
is
on
here
and
I
mean
this
was
during
the
the
polar
vortex
and
the
police.
I
really
want
to,
thank
because
they
sent
police
officers
around
to
these
areas
to
do
wellbeing,
checks
at
those
homes.
T
So
these
are
just
some
of
the
photos
that
we're
talking
about
our
issues
it's
hard
to
see,
but
the
the
leaves
are
all
piled
up
here
and
they
were
frozen
in
place.
The
next
issue
is
our
dumpsters.
You
know
nobody's
clearing
the
the
snow
away
from
the
dumpsters
or
any
receptacle
if
you
will
to
be
able
to
get
them
out
now.
T
You
know
group
can't
come
out
there
hook
up
a
winch
and
pull
these
out
and
dump
them,
but
then
there's
no
way,
they're
gonna
get
them
ever
back
in
there
and
it
would
just
be
blocking
the
alley.
So
that's
why
they
weren't
picked
up
and
the
other
issue
that
we're
talking
about
are
these
big
piles
of
snow
here.
So
there's
actually
an
alley
over
here
that
somebody
pays
to
have
plowed
and
whoever
plows
that
just
takes
all
the
snow
from
the
alley
and
pushes
it
across
the
street
and
mounds
it
up
over
here.
T
So
it
becomes
a
site
entrance
for
people
that
are
coming
out
of
this
alley
and
while
they
do
this,
we'll
have
just
cleared
the
street
and
you
go
back
out
there
and
now
there's
all
this
remnants
that
occurs
as
it's
being
pushed
across
the
street.
So
and
again,
this
is
for
discussion
and
we're
trying
to
seek
direction
from
the
from
the
Council
on
whether
or
not
they
would
like
us
to
to
proceed
with
crafting
ordinances
on
these
items
so
pushing
the
the
leaves
out
in
the
street
again.
We
believe
this
is
we're.
T
Gonna
have
earlier
snows
all
the
time,
and
if
people
do
put
their
leaves
out
in
the
street,
it
becomes
an
issue
for
us.
The
City
Council
has
made
it
extremely
economically
feasible
for
people
to
a
yard
waste
cart
at
8250.
You
buy
it
and
it's
only
$25
a
year
after
that
so
and
we'll
guarantee
the
cart
for
five
years.
T
You
can
use
it
not
just
during
leaves,
but
you
throw
your
yard
waste
in
it,
and
now
you
can
throw
your
food
scraps
in
it,
they're
on
the
8
and
a
half
once
it's
out
there.
So
that's
all
a
great
big
benefit
or
you
can
buy
stickers,
they're
only
twenty
five
one
dollar
and
twenty
five
cents
per
sticker.
So
it's
very
economical
to
package
your
leaves
and
not
throw
them
out
into
the
street
right
now.
There
is
a
city
ordinance
that
that
considers
leaves
to
be
litter
and
you're
not
allowed
to
litter.
T
So
the
few
times
that
we
actually
try
to
enforce
this,
it's
done
by
the
health
inspectors
that
go
out
and
and
say
your
littering
by
putting
your
leaves
out
there.
So
if,
if
council
was
okay
with
that,
I
would
try
to
put
something
directly
in
obstructions
of
the
street.
Modifying
the
public
works
ordinance
for
that
and
prohibiting
it.
T
And
if
that
all
goes,
then
we
would
try
to
do
a
campaign
to
make
sure
that
people
were
aware
of
it,
go
to
your
ward
meetings
and
put
notices
out
and
again
not
probably
issued
a
citation
the
first
time
around
have
a
door
hanger
telling
people
that's
not
allowed,
but
then
at
some
point
actually
being
able
to
issue
the
ticket.
The
next
one
would
be,
as
we
just
discussed,
about
pushing
snow
from
private
property
I,
don't
the
public
property.
T
We
have
condo
associations
that
they're
plowing
their
Lots
and
they
don't
take
a
space
in
their
lot
to
store
the
snow.
They
push
it
out
onto
the
city
streets
and
then
want
the
city
to
deal
with
it
and
I.
Don't
think
that
that's
appropriate
either.
If
you're
in
a
city
lot,
we
push
the
snow
into
a
couple
spots
within
our
own
Lots
and
yes,
we
lose
the
parking
spaces,
but
we
aren't
pushing
it
onto
somebody
else.
The
next
one
is
it's,
my
bad.
T
It's
my
misunderstanding:
between
the
the
memo
and,
what's
up
here
on
the
slide,
I
thought
we
were
gonna
change
it
to
two
inches
of
snow
right
now
the
ordinance
is
written
that
you
have
to
clear
the
know
when
there's
four
inches
or
more
within
any
24-hour
Snopes
span
of
time,
meaning
that
if
you
have
two
inches
of
snow
one
day
and
two
days,
go
by
and
then
another
day
F
another
three
inches
of
snow.
You
don't
have
to
clear
your
sidewalk,
even
though
there's
five
inches
on
there,
because
it
wasn't
four
inches
within
24
hours.
T
So
my
memos
wrong.
What
we
would
like
to
change
it
to
is
that
it'd
be
four
inches
of
snow
and
remove
the
part
that
says
within
24
hours.
If
there's
four
inches
of
snow
accumulated
snow,
you
would
have
to
remove
it
and
then
the
last
one
would
be
to
add
something
into
the
solid
waste
ordinance
indicating
that
you
do
have
to
clear
and
remove
the
snow
around
your
receptacles.
T
Now
we
demonstrate
what's
going
on
with
the
larger
dumpsters
and
the
businesses,
but
this
is
also
challenge
for
our
employees,
who
pick
up
the
recycling
and
if
the
recycling
cart
is
buried
in
the
snow,
it's
hard
to
get
out
of
there,
especially
if
it's
all
frozen
so
again,
it
would
be
something
that
we
would
put
reminders
out.
But
then,
if
it's
a
genuine
problem,
we
would
try
to
issue
citations
and
that's
all
part
about
what
we're
talking
about
and
Jen
I
know
13,
which
is
where
we're
trying
to
get
police
in
power
for
Public
Works.
T
It's
not
that
we're
gonna
carry
a
badge
or
a
gun,
or
anything
like
that.
We
would
just
have
the
ability
to
write
to
citation
tickets
rather
than
having
to
try
to
get
the
the
police
involved
for
not
hiring
new
people.
To
do
this,
it
would
be
a
supervisor
and
things
like
that,
but
so
these
are
the
four
components
that
were
trying
to
determine
Council's
interest
in
pursuing
them
or
not.
Thank.
S
So
I
I
would
support
you
on
the
clearing
of
sidewalks.
After
four
inch
snowfall
I
mean
I
think
that
Mathurin
is
a
walking
Ward
and
I
get
really
upset
with
neighbors,
who
don't
clear
their
sidewalks
I
do
I
mean
this
weekend.
You
can
tell
that
who's
not
home,
because
their
sidewalks
aren't
cleared
because
of
the
three-day
weekend,
but
there
are
people
who
are
just
chronically
they've
been
early,
shovel
and
I.
You
know
that's
really
a
hazard
to
their
neighbors,
but
my
other
question
is:
how
would
you
tell
whose
leaves
are
in
the
street
I
mean?
T
We
do
only
don't.
We
also
have
neighbors
calling
us
and
saying
my
neighbor's
doing
this
and
that
and
then
sometimes
it's
very
clear
that
this
is
the
only
yard.
That's
clear
of
all
leaves
right
now
and
there's
a
big
pile
of
leaves
right
there
and
again
we
aren't
going
to
hire
any
more
employees
to
do
this,
but
we're
going
to
have
the
ability
that
if
we
have
a
repeat
offender
that
it's
a
nuisance
at
then
we
can
start
working
with
them.
Well,.
S
You
know
until
we
sort
of
gently
called
them
up
and
said
you
know
what
it's
should
go
on
the
Parkway,
and
so
you
know
it's
just
that
kind
of.
Let's
keep
the
public
education
going
before
I
mean
I,
think
snow
from
private
property
onto
our
public
property.
Go
ahead
ticket
them.
You
know,
that's
that's
extra
money
from
us.
S
K
Quick
sort,
my
issue
with
them
number
two
is
again
back
to
the
coroner's
right,
so
my
neighbor
is
one
who
does
clear
the
corner
when
all
the
snow
is
plowed
on
it
and
he
throws
it
in
the
street,
which
you
know
I
I.
Guess
we're
saying
it's
not
right,
but
he
didn't
put
the
snow
in
his
corner.
Hey
there.
So
you
know
if
we're
mounting
snow
onto
the
corner
and
then
the
person
is
gonna.
K
Do
us
the
courtesy
of
cleaning
that
corner
you
know
we're
gonna,
tell
him
to
put
the
snow
I,
don't
know
where
I
guess
he
can
put
on
his
side
or
his
Parkway.
But
so
that's
my
concern
with
that.
One
I'm
number
three
I'm!
Okay
with
that
I
would
love
you
to
add
some
de-icer,
because
I
know
we
have
neighbors
who
do
shovel,
but
they
don't
always
put
down
ice
and
I.
Think
ice
is
probably
more
dangerous,
particularly
you
have
snow
on
top
of
ice.
K
K
Well,
it's
not
that
hard.
If
you
just
get
out
there
and
put
salt
out
I
mean
or
put
something
out,
but
anyway,
if
you
can
add
that
number
four,
my
only
concern
with
this
one
is:
you
know
we
put
our
trash
cans
out
the
night
before,
because
our
trash
comes
very
early.
If
the
plow
comes,
then
the
plow
rightfully
circles
around
my
trash
cans
and
plows
the
snow
up
next
to
my
trash
cans,
so
I'm
not
necessarily
going
out
there
in
the
morning
to
show
a
lot.
My
you
know,
I'm
saying
yes,.
T
K
So
I
don't
know
how
you
enforce
that,
and
you
know
that
the
person
I
mean
I,
guess
with
the
you
know,
condos
or
whatever.
Maybe
that's
a
different
issue,
but
if
my
two
little
cans
are
out
there
and
the
plow
comes
by
and
shovels
my
cans
in
I,
don't
know
how
you
can
be
my
expectation
that
I'm
supposed
to
go
out
and
unshut
all
them
again.
So
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
if
maybe
I'm
incorrect
and
we
want
people
to
put
their
trash
cans
up
on
the
Parkway.
I
always
put
mine
in
the
street.
K
Y
It's
not
so
much
the
problem
with
the
cards,
it's
that
that
is
a
little
bit
easier
to
move
it
as
the
dumpsters
that's
harder
to
actually
move
out
put
back
in
the
cards.
If
the
truck
can't
do
it,
I
mean
it's
what
it
weighs
with
a
whole
lot
less
for
for
the
individual
to
do
that,
and
then
on
on
the
point
with
the
private
property,
it's
more
so
the
contractors
that
are
doing
it.
Y
K
Y
L
I
think
most
of
its
been
covered,
but
I
support
all
four
of
them,
and
you
know
to
your
point:
Ridge
ice.
You
know
plows
just
pushed
ridiculous
amounts
of
snow
into
the
street
and
then
I
was
gonna
call
the
police,
but
then
our
plow
came
through
you
know
before
I
could
actually
do
that.
So,
but
it's
absurd.
L
So
you
know
I,
there's
a
certain
degree
of
judgement
I'm,
pretty
sure
that
if
you
know
to
only
flaming
something
in
situation,
if
the
trash
truck
comes
along
and
sees
that
the
plow
just
came
through
and
plowed
up,
you're,
not
gonna
write
a
ticket
for
something
like
that.
But
if
somebody
there's
a
lot
of
really
I'll
call
it
passive,
aggressive,
behavior
I
know
that
in
my
ward
there
are
a
couple
spots
and
director
stomach.
Yeah
I
think
you
know
about
one
or
two
of
them.
It's
it's!
It's
repeat
offenders
who
persistently
do
it?
L
It's
not
a
question
of
education,
and
you
know
with
somebody
making
a
one-time
mistake:
I,
don't
think
they're
the
ones
that
are
going
to
get
dinged,
but
it's
the
ones
who,
year
after
year
after
year,
I
the
same
people
calling
on
the
block,
because
you
know
XY
and
Z
house
are
persistently
doing
this
kind
of
thing.
So
you
know
we
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
tool
to
start
to
address.
A
All
right
so
seeing
no
more
lights
on
SP
11,
it
said
for
action.
I,
think
this
item
was
really
for
just
for
a
discussion.
There's
no
ordinances
or
anything
that
we're
prepared,
but
then
they
danced
for
direction
to
have
the
ordinances,
perfect,
yeah
I
think
we
I
think
we
probably
do
want
to
ask
for
that
direction.
To
get
to
go
to
go
ahead
and
start
to
put
together.
Ordinances
of
the
council
can
then
react
to.
T
A
A
C
L
If
SP
12
is
ordinance,
15
OH
19
amending
Title,
7
person
of
the
poet
ways
regarding
trees
and
shrubs.
It's
for
introduction
staff
is
recommending
the
City
Council
adopt
the
ordinance
which
will
remand
the
portions,
the
code
regarding
trees
and
shrubs
to
correct
staff.
Title
updates
and
clarifying
public
park
way
allowed
plantings.
I
move
approval,
I'm,
sorry
movie,
introduction
rather,
okay,.
V
Restricting
the
kinds
of
parking
plantings
that
can
go
particular
sort
of
natural
habitat
grasses
kinds
of
plantings
in
park
ways
and
given
that
a
person
resident
has
to
come
to
the
city
anyway,
to
get
a
permit
to
put
something
other
than
just
turf
grass
in
their
Parkway.
Is
that
correct,
I
guess
it
seems
to
me
overly
broad
to
just
say
you
can't
have
anything,
that's
going
to
grow
taller
than
three
feet,
because
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
park.
V
Ways
were
something
taller
than
three
feet
wouldn't
be
you
know,
get
in
the
way
of
any
sight
lines
or
anything
so
I
guess
I
would
prefer
seeing
something
that
said
when
they
come
in
with
a
permit
application.
They
describe
what
they're
going
to
be
planting
and
how
tall
it
would
be,
and
there'd
be
some
kind
of
judgment
going
into
whether
the
it
was
close
to
the
intersection.
It
might
be
a
sight
hazard
or
or
whether,
in
fact
it
would
be
perfectly
okay
to
be
in
that
particular
Parkway.
T
Again,
the
so
the
lunar,
3-foot
height
is
not
a
new
one.
If
you
look
on
page
280
of
293
in
the
packet
we're
striking
paragraph
B,
but
that
is
the
old
code
and
within
that
paragraph
B,
it
already
said
that
it
cannot
exceed
the
maximum
overall
height
of
three
feet.
That's
in
there
partially,
because
the
police
request
that
that
be
the
case,
so
that
they
have
clear
view.
T
They
don't
want
to
be
blocked
from
the
street
looking
in
and
towns
and
with
having
something
three
foot
high
or
higher
in
the
Parkway,
which
would
you
become
a
visual
hindrance
for
them.
So
this
is
not
anything
that
we're
adding
to
the
code,
we're
just
moving
from
what
paragraph
it
was
into
here,
but
that
and
again
that
doesn't
mean
it
can't
be
stricken.
T
T
That's
why
we
have
the
you
have
to
be
at
least
15
feet
away
from
me
from
a
crosswalk
or
an
intersection
for
plantings,
but
the
3-foot
height
was
even
in
the
middle
of
the
block
that
it
was
something
that
they
didn't
want
to
be
obscured.
I,
guess
it's
so
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
code
is
about,
how
tall
a
fence
can
be
in
the
front
yard
either,
but
that's
all
part
of
it.
So
it
can
only
be
a
certain
height
so
that
there's
still
the
unobstructed
view
as
police
patrol
the,
because.
T
I
would
ask
that
you
introduce
it
tonight
and
then
we
can
have
more
conversation
I
perceive.
We
could
wait
two
weeks
on
this
one,
instead
of
just
next
week
to
bring
it
back.
So
we
have
the
opportunity
to
have
discussions
and
I
have
some
other
concerns.
That
I
would
like
to
talk
to
you
about
is
how
often
one
great.
K
I'm,
the
public
right
away
as
its
laid
out
of
here
is
there
a
way
that
we
can
maybe
update
the
language
in
clue,
bike
lanes,
because
I
think
now
that
we
have
more
bike
lanes,
particularly
you
know
on
dodge,
and
you
know
the
newer
ones
we
have.
There
are
right
next
to
the
sidewalk
I
think
we
just
have
to
be
mindful
to
remind
people,
but
that's
also
a
right
away,
and
so
the
plantings
you
know,
you're
talking
about
cutting
your
branches
back
in
stuff.
They
need
to
be
mindful.
The
bikes
are
now
going
through
there.
K
More
often
I
know,
that's
been
a
concern
of
some
residents
of
mine
on
Dodge
about
limbs
not
being
cut
back
because
people
don't
think
about
the
bike
lanes
and
to
your
point.
I
dealt
with
this
a
lot
last
summer
and
the
three
feet
part
of
the
reason
for
that
that
I
learned
also
was
and
I
can
address.
This
is
rat
rat,
burrows
or
habitats,
and
so,
when
you
have
Gardens
that
are
very
large,
they
tend
to
be
a
place
for
rats
to
burrow
and
as
we're
trying
to
continuously
control
our
rat
population.
K
You
just
they
Health
Department
of
them,
with
the
gardens
to
be
overgrown.
I
also
get
lots
of
complaints
of
people
who
call
and
say
my
neighbor
hasn't
cut
his
grass
not
being
aware
that
they
have
a
permit
and
it's
you
know
it's
approved
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
and
these
are
yards
that
are
like
maybe
two
feet
tall
and
so
I.
Think
if
you
get
something
that's
too
big
too
tall
I
mean
I'm
only
five
feet:
I
wouldn't
want
my
neighbor's
front
yard,
that's
five
feet
tall.
Q
L
You
it's
just
for
introduction.
I
know
that
we've
all
gotten
some
comments
from
residents,
so
if
we
set
it
out
for
a
couple
of
weeks,
that'll
give
people
time
to
make
comments.
But
your
points
are
well-taken.
There
are
just
a
number
of
people
in
town
that
are,
you
know,
taking
advantage
of
the
privilege
and
abusing
and
covering
up
fire
hydrants
and
of
other
problems.
So
I
have
to
get
addressed
because
people
are
not
responsibly
doing
their
plantings,
something
Thanks.
A
A
U
M
T
Right
I
in
the
city
code,
policing
power,
it
talks
about
the
ability
to
issue
citations
and
tickets
and
that's
what
we're
looking
to
do
and
it
would
not
be
all
employees
and
public
works.
It
would
be.
My
designated
basically
be
my
supervisors
and
it
would
be
the
issue
citations.
That's
all
we're.
Looking
for
and
policing
powers
is
just
a
terminology
used
within
the
city
code,
Thank
You,
director
well,.
A

Alright

Director
of

Could
you
introduce
his.
A
L
V
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
just
like
to
mention
that
the
seventh
Ward
has
lost
a
really
valued
community
leader.
This
is
Debbie
wexel.
Some
of
you
may
remember,
Debbie,
coming
to
these
council
chambers
to
speak
to
us
on
behalf
of
canal
Shores
Golf
Course
in
the
past,
Debbie
played
a
major
role
in
its
recovery
from
a
period
of
serious
financial
difficulties
and
she's
helped
it
become
the
rich
ecological,
green
space
that
so
many
so
many
of
us
enjoy
today
in
Canal
shores
was
not
the
only
community
to
benefit
from
Debbie's
leadership.
V
She
was
a
key
contact
for
me
when
I
needed
to
reach,
for
example,
the
central
street
neighbors
association,
or
to
gather
neighbors
to
discuss
our
Central
Street
bridge
reconstruction
project
or
to
address
any
number
of
neighborhood
issues.
Debbie
was
killed
instantly
in
a
car
accident
in
Georgia
last
week
and
I
I
think
she
will
be
greatly
missed.
K
K
Have
him
down
here
is
Greg
officer
Gregory.
There
is
a
gentleman
who
is
homeless
and
has
some
mental
health
challenges
in
South,
Evanston
and
author
officer
Gregory
has
developed
a
personal
relationship
with
him
and
checked
in
with
him
over
the
polar
vortex
and
was
able
to
help
another
citizen
who
I'd
like
to
thank
who
was
concerned
about
the
individual,
but
was
mindful
enough
not
to
call
9-1-1
and
recognizing
that
he
might
need
some
mental
health
supports
and
so
Officer
Gregory
connected
with
her
and
just
made
her
feel
much
more
comfortable.
K
So
I
want
to
really
acknowledge
those
two
for
caring
about
their
neighbors,
also
for
the
Harley
Clark.
When
we
have
that
on
the
agenda,
I
would
like
a
report
on
how
much
money
we
are
spending
to
maintain
that
space.
Please
add
it
to
that
meeting
topic
and
then
I
have
another
report
that
I
would
like
and
it's
how
many
contracts
and
how
much
money
have
we
given
to
Christopher
Burke
in
the
last
five
years,
Christopher
Burke
engineering,
Christopher
Burke
engineering.
They
were
here
tonight
to
talk
about
the
town
which
pulls
yeah
you're
welcome.
P
Thank
you.
Mr.
mayor
I'd,
like
to
thank
our
PSP
officer,
will
Harris
Waga
for
accompanying
me
today
to
the
matter
home
where
we
had
a
real
good
conversation
with
a
lot
of
residents
about
the
pedestrian
crosswalk
and
how
we
can
make
things
safer
and
we're
going
to
will
made
a
great
presentation
at
that
meeting.
We're
going
to
include
that
in
our
award
meeting.
That's
coming
up
on
Tuesday,
March,
5th,
I,
believe
I,
hope
I
have
the
date
right
from
7:00
to
9:00
p.m.
P
P
I
know
in
my
ward,
we've
had
a
situation
on
a
block
where
you
might
have
20
individual
homeowners
in
single
family
homes
and
then
a
condo
building
with
50
residents
in
it,
and
those
50
residents
can
determine
what
the
rest
of
the
block
does,
even
though
they
may
only
physically
own
10%
of
the
of
the
property
on
the
block.
So
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
time,
probably
for
us
to
have
a
conversation
about
how
that
works
and
that's
what
I
have
for
tonight.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
C
Mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
before
we
conclude
I,
just
wanted
to
make
one
clarification
that
that
police
chief
said
to
me
earlier
when
we
had
the
discussion
about
the
sex
offenders
and
the
414
number,
he
is
clarified
it.
There
is
23
registered
sex
offenders
in
the
city
of
Evanston
that
set
400
number
reflected
those
weekly
check-ins
by
the
homeless
population.
Okay,.
C
A
L
L
Pursuant
to
v
Illinois
compiled
statutes,
ILCs
120,
/,
2a
and
thank
you
says
the
same
manner:
I
moved
the
City
Council.
It
can
be
an
angel
executive
session
to
discuss
agenda
items
regarding
personnel
litigation
in
minutes.
These
Jen
Adams
are
permitted
subjects
to
be
considered
in
an
executive
session
and
are
enumerate
exceptions
under
the
Open
Meetings
Act.
These
exceptions
are
five
ILCs
1.5
to
a
c
1
c,
11
and
c
21
they're.
A
second.
