Okay,
terrific
welcome
everybody
to
the
Monday
August
13th
2018
Evanston,
City
Council
meeting
we've
got
8
of
the
aldermen
here.
I
know:
Alderman
Wilson
could
not
make
it.
This
evening.
We
have
we'll
start
with
the
the
mayor
public
announcements,
we're
in
the
in
the
dog
days
of
summer
right
now,
when,
when
the
Chicago
Cubs
come
from
behind
and
hit
a
grand
slam
with
two
outs
in
the
bottom
of
the
ninth
inning,
with
a
rookie
up
to
bat.
But
that's
the
time
of
the
year
we're
at
we're.
A
Also
at
that
time
of
year,
when
young
people
are
finishing
up
their
summer
jobs
and
their
internships-
and
we
have
several
of
them
with
us
this
evening
and
I
would
like
to
to
recognize
them.
So
we're
going
to
take
a
couple
of
minutes
to
recognize
them
and
they're
all
part
of
the
mayor's
Summer
Youth
jobs
program
that
has
been
around
here
in
this
city
for
a
long
time,
so
I'm
going

Lawrence
Hemingway

Rec

in
March
2018
over
584
Youth,
attended
the
annual
job
fear
Hill,
that
Evanston
Township
High
School.
We
are
proud
to
say
that
we
have
been
consistent
with
employing
over
500
Evanston
youth
throughout
the
summer
months,
with
over
40
work
sites
throughout
the
city
of
Evanston.
We
are
here
today
to
recognize
students
who
have
gone
above
and
beyond
their
requested
duties
by
working
diligently
throughout
the
summer,
giving
their
all
here
represented.
E
Today
we
have
the
city's
public
city
of
Evanston,
Public
Library,
the
Health
and
Human
Services
property
standards,
community
development
department,
as
well
as
Public
Works,
Agency
parks,
recreation
and
community
service
department
in
Northwestern
University,
to
name
a
few.
We
will
begin
to
acknowledge
our
summer
youth
according
to
their
award
categories,
starting
with
perfect
attendance.
Please
stand
perfect
attendance,
our
students
who
have
demonstrated
their
commitment
to
their
job
and
employer
by
showing
up
every
day,
eager
on
time,
professional

ready
to
work
summer,
youth
who
are
receiving
the
outstanding
service
award.
Please
stand.
E
The

work,
objectives
and
goals.
Our
last
group
to
acknowledge
is
our
first,
ever
kinky
and
non-violence
summer,
Institute
partnered
with
the
Addie
Wyatt
Center
for
non-violence.
Please
stand
the
Summer.
Institute
was
a
six-week
program
that
taught
participating
youth,
the
difference,
the
different
types
in
levels
of
conflict,
Martin,
Luther,
King,
Junior's
principles
and
steps
of
non-violent
conflict
reconciliation
and
how
to
conduct
a
non-violent
campaign.
E
Students
become
certified
trainers
who,
in
the
fall
those
same
youth
returning
to
Evanston
Township
High
School
will
get
the
opportunity
to
work
with
faculty
and
staff
to
create
a
peace
in
the
school's
program
during
the
2018-2019
school
year.
Thank
you
all
for
allowing
us
to
represent
and
acknowledge
our
young
people
who
have
participated
in
this
year's
mayor's
summer
use
an
Employment
Program.
Can
you
all
stand
up
and
stand
in
front
of
the
podium?
So
we
can
have
a
picture.
A
All
right
we
had
just
just
as
a
reminder:
we
had
close
to
600
youth
attend
the
mayor's
job
fair
at
ETA
chess.
This
year
we
had
over
500
youth
that
were
part
of
the
mayor's
Summer
Youth
Employment
Program,
and
we
had
over
40
employers
in
this
community
that
participated
in
it.
So
it's
wonderful
to
see
sort
of
the
opportunities
that
are
available
in
the
promise
that
was
in
this
room
and
walked
out
with
their
parents
feeling
really
really
good.
A
As
you
all
know,
you
know,
sometimes
people
really
struggle
in
life
and,
as
mayor
I've
mentioned
this
before
I
have
observed
it
in
a
way
that
I
didn't
see
it
before
before.
I
was
mayor
and
and
I
just
like
to
do
something
to
sort
of
drive
home.
This
is
this
is
and
I'm
going
to
proclaim
this
national
suicide
prevention,
Awareness
Month,
which
is
this
upcoming
month,
September
2018,
and
we
acknowledged
it
last
year,
I'd
like
to
do
something
a
little
different
this
year
for
people
that
are
that
are
willing
to.
A
A
Thank
you,
I.
Don't
always
do
this,
but
I'm
going
to
read
this
proclamation
because
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
all
to
to
just
sort
of
take
this
in,
whereas
September
is
known
as
national
suicide
prevention,
Awareness
Month,
which
helps
promote
resources
and
awareness
around
the
issues
of
suicide
prevention.
It
teaches
how
to
help
others
and
how
to
talk
about
suicide
without
increasing
the
risk
of
harm
and
whereas
suicidal
thoughts
can
affect
anyone
regardless
of
age.
A
Gender
background
and
is
the
third
leading
cause
of
death
among
young
people,
whereas
Evanston
Illinois
is
no
different
than
any
other
community
in
the
country,
but
chooses
to
publicly
state
our
full
support
behind
local
educators,
mental
health
professionals,
athletic
Coaches
pack,
leaders
and
parents
as
partners
in
supporting
our
community
and
simply
being
available
to
one
another.
And
whereas
local
and
national
organizations
like
suicide
prevention
services
are
on
the
front
lines
of
a
battle
that
many
still
refuse
to
discuss
in
public
now.
G
Thank
You
mayor
city,
clerk
and
Alderman,
my
name
is
Laura
Biggs
and
I'm.
The
city
engineer.
The
city
manager
asked
me
to
give
an
update
on
some
of
our
major
projects
going
on.
So
the
first
project
I
want
to
give
an
update
on
is
Fountain
Square.
The
project
is
actually
complete,
with
the
exception
of
the
memorial
wall,
honoring,
our
veterans
and
the
fountain
piping,
so
the
fountain
piping
is
had
been
installed
with
some
leaks.
Those
are.
The
lines
are
being
lined.
G
That
process
is
supposed
to
be
complete
this
week,
hopefully,
in
which
case
we'll
begin
the
testing
of
the
fountain
to
make
sure
that
the
software
programming
is
working
properly.
That
process,
we
hope,
will
conclude
in
the
months
of
August
and
September
and
then
the
last
panel,
the
memorial
wall,
the
initial
installation
was
delayed
because
of
some
issues
with
glass
panels.
There's
one
glass
panel
that
we're
working
to
get
replaced.
Currently,
that
is
actually
expected
to
be
delivered
on
site
and
installed
by
the
end
of
August.
G
So
the
project
there's
a
change
order
on
the
agenda
tonight
for
Christopher
Burke
engineering
and
to
extend
their
contract
to
go
through
the
end
of
the
calendar
year,
but
we
are
actually
anticipating
that
the
work
should
be
completed
before
that,
so
that's
Fountain
Square.
The
next
project
that
I'd
like
to
speak
about
is
the
James
Park
north
athletic
fields.
This
project
was
constructed
in
2017
and
involved,
putting
in
a
new
baseball
field
and
relocating
a
soccer
field
at
James
Park
on
the
north
side.
G
That
project
actually
was
completed
in
2017,
except
for
the
establishment
of
the
grass,
and
it
was
the
hope
that
we
would
be
able
to
get
the
bulk
of
the
grass
establishment
done
during
the
spring,
but
unfortunately,
the
weather
did
not
cooperate
with
us
and
so
on
this
project
in
excusing
the
pun
that
we
are
literally
waiting
for
the
grass
to
grow
on
this
project.
We
were
concerned
because
it
had
taken
so
long
to
grow.
We
actually
consulted
with
some
outside
companies
other
than
a
contractor
to
determine
if
the
contractor
should
be
doing
anything
differently.
G
G
We're
dealing
with
the
weeds
is
actually
not
really
that
big
of
a
problem
once
the
grass
is
established.
But
if
we
work
to
remove
the
weeds
now,
then
we
risk
the
danger
of
damaging
the
little
baby
grass
blades
they're
growing.
So
we
are
waiting
for
the
grass
to
be
established.
It
looks
like
we
will
have
pretty
good
luck
finishing
that
process
to
the
point
where
we
can
do
the
weed
management
this
fall
and
then
our
hope
is
that
the
field
will
be
in
service
in
spring
of
2019.
G
I
wanted
to
mention
the
Cureton
plays
pipelining
project
that
we've
been
doing
under
construction
this
year,
so
on
Tuesday
August
7th,
our
contractor
in
situ
form,
was
preparing
to
do
work
on
a
24
inch
main
located
on
Kirk
between
Darrow
and
dodge,
and
they
had
inserted
some
equipment
into
the
line.
And
then
we
had
a
very
intense
rain
event
and
that
equipment
was
enough
to
block
the
line
and
caused
the
combined
sewers
and
surcharge.
This
resulted
in
properties
experiencing
basement
backups.
G
There
were
actually
15
properties
that
were
aware
of
that
experience.
The
basement,
flooding
mostly
on
the
300
and
400
block
of
dodge
Avenue
and
in
the
1600
block
of
Kirk,
so
in
situ
form,
has
been
really
proactive
in
trying
to
deal
with
this
they've
distributed
225
notices
to
different
properties,
asking
residents
to
contact
them
if
they
are
having
any
basement
backup,
they
contracted
with
ServiceMaster
right
away
and
service
masters,
gone
in
and
done
some
cleanup
of
the
various
properties
that
are
effective.
G
This
was
a
really
horrible
problem
and
I
don't
want
to
downplay
how
disruptive
it
is
to
have.
This
happened
to
you
as
a
resident
I
think
we
all
know
that
this
is
not
a
minor
thing.
The
city
of
Evanston
has
a
hundred
and
forty-four
miles
of
combined
sewer
and
we
have
worked
to
line
forty
miles
of
that,
of
which
Institute
form
has
actually
done
about
twenty
miles
of
the
lining.
G
The
contract
is
now
complete,
so
there
should
not
be
any
potential
for
anything
like
this
happening
so
moving
on
to
the
next
project,
Sheridan
Road.
So
this
is
a
project
that
we
began
in
2017.
We
did
the
initial
improvements
on
Sheridan
Road
from
the
downtown
area,
starting
on
Chicago
Avenue
up
north
to
Lincoln
Street,
and
that
work
was
basically
completed
in
2017
and
now
in
2018.
We
are
working
on
Lincoln
Street
north
to
Isabella
at
the
Wilmette
border.
This
work
is
going
very
well.
G
We
are
currently
working
on
the
reconstruction
of
the
Lincoln
Street
Sheridan
Road
intersection,
which
is
not
a
small
thing.
It's
been
very
intrusive
to
people,
but
I
residents
of
Evanston
have
been
very
cooperative
with
working
with
us
to
get
this
work
done
and
accommodating
it
that
reconstructions
plan
to
be
complete
by
the
second
week
of
September
in
time
for
Northwestern
students
to
have
their
move-in.
Following
that,
we
are
going
to
begin
working
to
get
the
rehabilitation
resurfacing
of
Sheridan
Road
completed
north
from
Lincoln
Street
to
Isabella.
G
This
is
expected
to
be
completed
by
the
end
of
October.
During
that
construction
and
for
the
rest
of
construction,
we
anticipate
maintaining
one
lane
of
traffic
in
each
direction,
so
during
a
portion
of
the
construction.
Earlier
this
summer
there
was
a
detour,
but
the
detours
are
over
and
things
are
going
according
to
schedule
and
then
the
final
project
I
wanted
to
talk
about
was
Robert
crown.
This
project
is
slated
to
begin
work
this
week
on
Wednesday.
G
So
if
you
have
any
questions
on
any
of
these,
of
course,
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me.
If
your
residents
have
concerns,
I
always
encourage
everyone
to
contact
our
3-1-1
system
and
they'll
make
sure
that
you
get
directed
to
the
appropriate
place
for
any
of
our
projects.
So
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
them
at
this
time.
I
It
is
a
quick
question
in
a
B&W
director
stone
back
addressed
how
we
were
dealing
with
the
contractor
regarding
Fountain
Square.
Can
you
just
let
us
know
if
there's
some,
how
we're
dealing
with
the
contractor
of
James
Park.
G
At
James
Park,
the
the
contract
was
set
up
in
a
way
that
was
a
little
bit
different
than
Fountain
Square
and
also
had
some
similarities.
So
our
standard
policy
is
that
we
put
a
completion
deadline
in
the
contract
for
substantial
completion,
meaning
everything
except
a
minor
checklist
of
items,
but
that
it's
basically
usable
and
following
that,
if
the
contractor
does
not
meet
that
deadline,
we
charge
a
liquidated
damage
fee
per
calendar
day.
This
is
not
really
meant
to
be
a
penalty
on
the
contractor.
It's
sort
of
an
agreed
standard
amount.
G
It's
really
hard
to
hold
the
contractor
accountable
for,
if,
if
it
rains
too
much
or
if
it's
just
too
cold
for
the
grass
to
grow,
so
there
have
been
no
liquidated
damages
levy
because
of
failure
to
establish
grass.
However,
we
have
worked
with
them
and
we
were
prepared-
and
this
is
why
we
brought
in
the
outside
contractors
to
take
a
look
at
the
site.
G
It
is
a
clause
in
our
contracts
that
we
can
always
with
notice
to
a
contractor
that
we
find
them
in
failure,
basically,
in
default
of
completing
the
work
on
time
that
we
can
bring
in
an
outside
contractor
pay
them
to
do
the
work,
and
then
we
deduct
the
cost
from
what
we
would
pay
the
contractor.
We
actually
did
notice
the
contractor
in
the
case
of
James
Park
L&R,
and
then
we
brought
in
these
outside
vendors
and
they
basically
said
well
we're
gonna
do
exactly
the
same
thing.
L&Amp;R
is
doing.
G
They've
had
the
you
know,
they
didn't
necessarily
find
that
they
were
doing
anything
incorrectly,
so
we
sort
of
kept
them
on
notice.
We've
required
them
to
submit
regular
schedule
updates
to
us.
They
we've
met
with
their
sub.
That
is
doing
the
grass
planting,
because
L&R
is
a
construction
contractor
that
does
work
on
our
city
parks.
They
they've
done
a
couple
of
other
projects,
including
penny
Park,
but
they,
you
know
at
this
point.
It's
just
a
waiting
game
and
there's
haven't
been
any
financial
penalties.
So.
G
No
and
in
every
contract
that
we
do
when
we
get
an
invoice,
we
withhold
a
percentage
of
the
payment,
usually
five
to
ten
percent
depending
on
it
starts
at
ten
percent
and
then,
depending
on
how
the
project's
going
is,
it
goes
towards
the
end.
We
might
reduce
it
to
five
percent.
We
call
retainage
and
we
hold
that
money
and
we
only
pay
it
out
at
the
final
payment,
and
that
is
meant
to
cover
any
expenses
that
we
incur
if
the
contractor
doesn't
complete
the
project
appropriately.
So
we
do
have
we're
holding
retainage.
G
F
A
B
Very
quickly,
I
just
want
to
update
the
council
and
the
community.
The
clerk's
office
received
a
referendum
back
in
July.
The
final
date
of
file
objections
was
today.
We've
received
three
objections.
The
first
hearing
will
be
tomorrow
at
8:30
a.m.
here
and
then
here
at
City,
Hall
speaking
of
referendums.
I
do
want
to
clarify
for
the
community.
There
has
been
discussion
about
a
referendum
to
make
the
clerk's
office
appointed.
There
has
been
a
notion
that
I
support
making
the
clerk's
office
appointed
as
the
elected
clerk
I
can
clarify
for
the
entire
community
and
mr.
B
Smith
and
Evans
now,
and
the
writer
of
that
article
that
I
do
not
support
making
the
clerk's
office
appointed
I,
believe
it
should
be
an
independent
office
and
finally,
on
August
22nd,
the
clerk's
office
will
host
a
an
information
session.
A
discussion
on
participatory
budgeting,
August
22nd
at
6:30
p.m.
here
at
the
Civic
Center
in
room
24:02
will
have
taya
crumb
from
the
great
cities
Institute
from
the
US
sees
great
cities.
Institute
speak
about
participatory
budgeting
as
well
as
staff
members
from
John
arena.
B
B
K
A
Just
just
to
clarify
I
think
this
is
pretty
straightforward
and
correct
me,
a
city
attorney
if
I'm
wrong
one
once
we
I
officially
receive
and
I
haven't
received
as
the
mayor.
Yet
this
so
that'll
and
that'll
happen
this
week,
when
I
officially
receive
that
sets
the
clock
for
when
this
hearing
has
to
take
place,
it
will
be
a
public
hearing
for
every
anyone.
That's
interested
to
come
and
just
like
our
City
Council
meetings,
where
there's
a
packet
there
will
be
information
and
I
presume
it
would
be
the
appeals
or
protests
that
are
submitted.
L
A
A
L
B
A
Correct:
okay:
okay,
all
right
with
that
we're
gonna
move
into
the
next
agenda
item,
and
this
is
the
real
estate
transfer
referendum.
Okay.
So
this
is
almost
gonna
the
way
we're
setting
this
up
this
evening,
it's
almost
going
to
be
hearing
within
a
hearing,
so
I
actually
have
a
pretty
scripted
statement
that
I'm
gonna
make
so
that
everybody
understands
what's
going
on
here
and
we
will
allow
for
public
comment
on
just
this.
A
This
public
hearing.
So
the
next
agenda
item
for
the
city
of
Council
is
the
public
hearing
for
the
real
estate
transfer
tax
increase
being
held

J
A
Any
of
the
discussion
amongst
the
council
at
this
time:
okay,
seeing
seeing
none,
we're
gonna
open
this
up
for
public
comment
in
these
their
public
comments.
Only
concerning
the
proposed
real
estate
transfer
tax
increase.
We
have
12
individuals
that
have
signed
up
I'm
going
to
ask
if
you
would
try
to
keep
your
comments
within
three
minutes.
We
have
another
31
people
that
have
signed
up
for
the
regular
public
comment
this
evening.
M
N
You
mayor
Haggerty
city
clerk
and
Alderman
and
Erica
Stoller,
I'm
Bonnie
Wilson
I,
live
in
the
Third
Ward
and
had
been
a
realtor
in
Evanston
for
over
30
years
before
I
start
my
comments.
I
just
want
to
ask
the
mayor:
did
you
say
it
was
for
the
transfer
stamps
were
for
the
buyer
or
the
seller?
Did
you
many.
N
A
L
N
Thank
you,
okay,
begin
my
comments.
As
a
realtor
in
the
community,
I
strongly
oppose
increasing
the
city's
transfer
tax.
This
proposal
would
ensure
Evanston
has
the
highest
transfer
tax
among
North,
Shore
communities
and
fifth
highest
in
Illinois.
While
I
can
appreciate
the
difficult
budget
challenge
you
face,
an
increased
transfer
tax
is
not
a
reliable
or
sound
solution
using
residential
data
over
the
last
several
years.
This
new
tax
will
not
provide
a
reliable
steam
stream
of
revenue
from
twenty
fifteen
to
seventeen
transfer.
N
Tax
revenue
from
residential
properties
selling
over
1.5
million
shows
each
year
can
change
by
as
much
as
40
percent
commercial
properties
by
their
nature
are
even
more
inconsistent.
Despite
inconsistencies
in
revenue,
the
proposed
increase
of
up
to
eighty
percent
for
the
highest
valued
properties
will
have
consistently
negative
impact
on
our
community.
It
will
provide
further
disincentive
for
commercial
and
residential
rental
rental
development
in
Evanston.
Please
keep
in
mind
commercial
and
larger
residential
rental
properties
already
pay
more
in
taxes
because
they
are
assessed
at
a
higher
rate.
N
This
is
not
free
money
for
the
city
by
your
own
estimates.
You
are
taking
eight
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
a
year
from
the
people
that
are
investing
in
our
community.
We
believe
these
people
mean
more
to
the
community
than
just
a
revenue
stream
for
city
government.
Adding
to
the
cost
of
doing
business
in
Evanston
is
not
a
sound
solution
to
our
budgetary
problems.
Please
vote
no
on
increasing
the
city's
transfer
tax.
Thank.
O
I'm
done
Shaolin
burger,
I
live
in
the
First
Ward
1864
Sherman
I
too,
am
a
realtor
here
in
Evanston
with
burden
warner.
I
want
to
go
back
to
something
I
started
on
at
the
last
meeting.
I
think
I
was
number
61
out
of
60
speakers
as
I.
Remember
so,
I
didn't
exactly
get
to
say
everything
I
wanted
to
say,
but
what
I
tried
to
allude
to
at
the
time
is
the
issue.
O
Has
there
been
any
long-range
plans
for
future
revenues
and
if
there
has
is,
it
is,
have
they
been
followed
and
if
not
is,
is
it
time
for
them
to
be
revised?
And
if
not,
we
need
a
new
plan.
The
10th,
the
transfer
tax
is
proposed
by
alderman.
Rainey
is
at
best
a
temporary
fix
for
a
long
term.
Problem
I
have
every
sympathy
for
all
of
you
in
the
need
to
raise
revenue
to
pay
bills.
O
As
a
member
of
the
government
action
committee,
the
northshore
Board
of
Realtors,
we
see
this
all
time
in
many
municipalities,
it's
not
something.
That's
particularly
unusual.
Just
for
Evanston,
temporary
or
short-term
stopgap
measures
such
as
the
revised
real
estate
transfer
tax
is
not
the
answer
in
closing.
O
A
P
Good
evening,
citizens
should
don't
know
against
this
real
estate
transfer
tax,
but
I
have
a
different
angle.
I'm
coming
from
simple
a
simple
reason:
is
the
council
isn't
really
fixing
the
budget
mess
but
covering
it
up?
It's
basically.
Basically,
the
council
has
not
addressed
what
is
the
real
number
here
for
the
budget
crisis
it
at
one
point.
There
was
a
memo
issue
that
outlined
all
the
problems.
I
went
through
that
and
did
my
own
analysis,
basically
we're,
probably
depending
on
what
this
council
tries
to
fix
twenty
to
twenty
percent.
P
Maybe
fifty
percent
property
tax
increase,
that's
how
much
big
the
problem
is
and
I've
said
numerous
times.
The
problem
has
been
created
not
by
the
programs
here,
but
by
the
misuse
of
money
on
all
kinds
of
things
and
a
lot
of
mistakes
and
problems
and
we're
not,
we
don't
seem
to
want
to
fix
them.
We
want
to
hide
them
and
that's
the
problem
here
and
I've
said
this
many
times
we
see
Fountain
Square
all
kinds
of
things
here
that
just
are
just
out
of
control
and,
frankly,
all
this
economic
development.
P
All
these
things
are
causing
problems
and
in
each
little
thing
is
adding
up
and
the
real
estate
transfer
tax
is
a
tiny
thing
here
and
basically
you're
going
to
have
to
raise
property
taxes
to
fix
all
this,
and
that's
really
the
problem.
It's
huge.
What's
coming
and
really
this
council
doesn't
want
to
face
any
of
this.
It
just
wants
to
keep
on
spending
money.
It's
just
getting
worse,
I
strongly
believe
in
it.
P
We
need
an
independent
out
of
the
city
books
and
a
new
city
manager
needs
to
come
in
here
and
look
at
things
whether
it's
an
interim
city
manager,
something
we
need
to
fix
this
mess
and
it
is
a
big
mess,
and
tonight
an
alderman
suggested
a
bill.
The
bill,
we're
paying
for
Comcast
is
something
we
should
negotiate
with.
Such
outrageousness
I
mean
really
a
bill
for
Comcast
I
mean
you're,
worried
about
a
bill
at
the
police
outpost
for
Comcast.
P
When
we're
millions
of
dollars
in
the
hole
here,
then
you
know
our
cash
reserves
are
down,
I
believe
to
the
point.
Basically,
it's
one
point:
five
million
for
several
years
to
up
those
cash
reserves,
those
cash
reserves
den
dodo
down
because
of
basically
basic
spending.
Here
they
went
down
from
all
the
problems
and
I
was
talking
to
someone
today
and
I
understand
the
James.
Park
lawsuit
is
still
going
on,
and
maybe
we
might
be
spending
another
half
a
million
dollars
on
it
and
we're
still
arguing
that
the
water
is
contaminated
by
the
way
I
heard.
P
So
that's
pretty
interesting
all
these
problems,
all
these
lawsuits
and
tonight
the
same
thing
about
this.
All
this
of
this
damages
with
Fountain
Square
and
we're
you're
basically
have
another
thing
on
the
agenda:
you're
gonna
pay
that
another
contractor
settlement
of
two
and
a
half
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
same
thing
same
thing.
With
this
lawsuit
of
Fountain
Square,
you're
gonna
get
into
a
lawsuit
lose.
So
this
is
a
problem
here
and
I
keep
saying
it.
You've
got
to
fix
it.
You
can't
pretend
the
realtor
take
a
real
estate
tense
for
cracks
and
fix
the
problem.
A
Q
Q
Q
The
text
for
the
referendum
being
considered
tonight
excuse
me
should
be
modified
to
include
affordable
housing
as
one
of
the
uses
of
the
increased
revenue
from
the
real
estate
transfer
tax
and
on
a
personal
note
before
my
colleagues
speak,
I
live
in
a
black
of
10
homes
on
Washington
Street
out
of
those
10
homes.
Four
of
my
neighbors
have
been
forced
to
move
within
the
last
decade
because
they
could
no
longer
afford
to
live
in
Evanston.
One
of
the
residents
lived
there
for
more
than
40
years.
R
My
name
is
Rachel
human,
my
husband
and
I
live
in
the
Third
Ward
if
Evanston
and
I
am
with
reclaimed
Evanston
the
city's
2017
action
plan
for
spending
almost
two
million
dollars
in
federal
funds,
which
was
approved
by
the
City
Council
in
July
2017,
stated.
Affordable
housing
continues
to
be
the
city's
highest
priority.
R
A
S
Right,
it's
better
than
Lulu
Prudhoe
was,
my
name
is
Lila
Rabb
and
I
live
in
the
seventh
Ward
of
Evanston
and
I
am
with
reclaim
Evanston.
Recent
statistics
from
the
US
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
show
that
in
Evanston
there
are
over
four
thousand
households
with
incomes
below
80
percent
of
the
area,
median
income
for
a
family
of
four
that's
between
forty
two
thousand
and
fifty
seven
thousand
dollars.
Many
individuals
in
these
households
are
seniors
who
are
housing,
cost
burdened.
S
Some
are
severely
housing
costs
burden
paying
more
than
half
of
their
income
for
housing
as
a
resident
of
the
seventh
Ward
of
Evanston
I
believe
more
affordable
housing
is
needed
in
the
seventh
Ward,
where
I
live
and
in
every
Ward
in
Evanston.
The
text
for
the
referendum
being
considered
tonight
should
be
modified
to
include
affordable
housing
as
one
of
the
uses
of
the
increased
revenue
from
the
real
estate
transfer
tax.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
T
My
name
is
Kathleen
Eggman
I
am
a
member
of
reclaim
Evanston,
grassroots
Evanston
action
organization
and
my
husband
and
I.
We
live
in
the
eighth
ward,
the
data
from
the
US
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
that
was
just
referred
to
also
shows
the
following.
There
are
almost
set
thousand
households
right
now
in
Evanston,
with
incomes,
less
than
half
of
the
area,
median
income
for
a
family
of
four.
This
is
an
income
below
$40,000.
T
Over
80%
of
these
households
spend
more
than
a
third
of
their
income
on
housing.
They
are
therefore
housing
cost
burdened.
Many
of
these
households
are
paying
more
than
half
of
their
income
on
housing.
These
households,
like
mine,
are
often
on
a
fixed
income
and
we
are
increasingly
unable
to
maintain
our
properties
and
we
struggle
to
pay
those
property
taxes.
T
U
Good
evening,
mayor
good
evening,
City
Council,
my
name,
is
Leonard
Lampkin
I
live
at
835,
Bridge
Avenue
in
the
Ninth
Ward
and
I
am
a
member
of
reclaim
Evanston.
Last
October,
the
city
staff
stated
in
their
white
paper
on
affordable
housing.
That
housing
is
a
key
element
of
fostering
a
livable
community
and
the
increasing
cost
of
housing
is
requiring
more
people
to
spend
an
increasingly
large
portion
of
their
income
on
housing,
leaving
them
without
the
resources
they
need
for
food,
health
care
and
transportation,
as
well
as
day
care
for
their
children.
U
In
order
to
maintain
Evanston's
economic
and
racial
diversity
and
support
its
mission
to
be
the
most
livable
city,
it
is
necessary
to
create
and
preserve
affordable
housing
throughout
the
city,
just
like
to
add
a
little
personal
statement.
If
it
wasn't
for
the
Illinois
hardest
hit
fund,
when
President
Obama
was
president
I
wouldn't
be
a
resident
of
Evanston
I'd
be
homeless.
I
received
money
to
help
me
pay
my
mortgage
for
18
months.
U
That's
why
I'm
still
here
and
that's
why
I
still
have
a
condo
in
Evanston,
so
is
that
resident
of
the
Ninth
Ward,
where
I
live
and
in
every
Ward
in
Evanston
we
need
more,
affordable
housing.
The
text
for
the
referendum
being
considered
tonight
should
be
modified
to
include
affordable
housing
as
one
of
the
uses
of
increased
revenue
of
the
real
estate
transfer,
tax
and
I'll
just
add
the
realist.
The
increase
doesn't
affect
anybody.
U
If
you
don't
sell
your
house,
it
doesn't
affect
the
commercial
developers
if
they're
not
selling
their
property,
most
of
the
commercial
developers
build
it
and
own
it
or
build
it
and
transfer
it
to
the
condos.
So
the
money
comes
over
time
when
people
decide
to
leave
or
they
decide
to
flip
their
commercial
property
for
a
profit.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thanks.

and
I
am
with
reclaim
Evanston
almost
10
years
ago.
A
vision
was
put
forward
by
counsel
that
all
Evanston
residents
have
a
access
to
safe,
decent
housing
that
is
affordable
in
2017
council
said.
Affordable
housing
continues
to
be
the
city's
highest
priority.
In
recent
months,
staff
have
documented,
with
statistics
the
growing
crisis
of
affordable
housing
in
Evanston.
V
The
adoption
of
a
progressive
real
estate
transfer
tax
in
November
may
be
a
solution
to
our
current
short-term
budget
deficit,
but
it
may
also
be
the
best
solution.
We
have
for
finding
revenues
to
actually
fulfill
a
vision
of
10
years
ago.
That
has
yet
to
be
achieved
as
a
resident
of
Evanston
I
believe
more
affordable
housing
is
needed
in
the
Ninth
Ward,
where
I
live
and
in
every
Ward
in
Evanston.
K
K
So
we've
been
breaking
the
law
a
long
time,
so
that's
nothing
new,
but
to
speak
to
the
issue
of
the
transfer
type,
let
me
tell
you
a
story
back
in
2007
9
we
had
worked
in,
we
created
the
first
affordable
housing
here
in
everything,
so
we
found
this
person
to
buy
this
house
with
selling
it
below
market
rate
and
this
slow
fledgling
organization
came,
they
told
well,
you
have
to
get
the
transverse
tax
stamp.
We
have
to
get
what
what
is
that
went
to
the
lawyer?
Can
you
get
it?
K
Oh
you,
okay,
so
go
to
the
city
and
tell
them.
This
is
what
you're
selling
the
house
for-
and
this
is
what
you
need-
come
back.
Oh
wait!
A
minute.
We
got
to
try
to
raise
this
money
because
we
didn't
figure
it
and
we
didn't
know-
and
we
did
ask
for
it
to
be
waved
in
the
city
said:
no,
we
can't
raise
it.
K
K
It
won't
affect
people,
as
you
say,
at
the
lower
level,
but
if
we
keep
looking
at
how
we
are
spending
money
and
how
you're
not
being
careful
with
that
it
does
have
an
impact
on
people
purchasing
home
in
affordable.
Because
then
we
go
to
some
of
the
people
that
is
selling
their
home
and
trying
to
get
it
into
the
land
trusts.
Then
you
have,
they
have
to
deal
with
that
transfer
tax,
moving
it
into
the
Land
Trust
and
then
they
swell
gee.
We
didn't
know
we
had
to
pay
this
much.
K
We
was
counting
on
this,
so
we
can't
do
it.
Then
that
means
there
is
a
house.
Then
that
is
not
permanently
affordable,
that
transfer
tax
I
think
it
should
not
be
just
drop
it
leave
it
like.
It
is.
If
you
can't
see
yourself
designating
that
funds
for
the
portable
housing,
then
that
referendum
should
not
go
on
the
bail.
Thank
you.
Thank.
W
Sometimes
you
meet
the
most
amazing
people
and
in
your
efforts
to
do
things
and
she's
been
a
pioneer
in
many
ways,
so
I'd
like
to
honor,
Betty
and
I
hope
the
rest
of
us
also
in
terms
of
her
commitment
to
affordable
housing
and
all
these
issues
that
have
been
around
a
very
long
time
and
they're
still
near
and
dear
to
her
heart,
and
she
speaks
so
well.
I
would
like
to
also
echo
in
it
and
maybe
a
slightly
different
way
and
someone
who's
also
facing
whether
or
not
I
can
stay
depending
upon
the
help.
W
I
get
flipping
and
developers
have
done
what
in
excess
to
raise
prices
in
ways
that
the
homeowner
me
moving
in
here
35
years
ago,
used
our
houses
as
something
to
fall
back
on
then
the
recession
and
everything
else
happened,
which
was
unexpected
and
took
away
a
lot
of
our
pension
funds
and
everything
else
monies
that
we
had
saved.
So
our
houses,
our
only
thing
left.
So
now
we
got
high
taxes
and
we're
being
squeezed
the
same
people
being
squeezed
and
I.
W
Think
there
are
people
who
realize
that
we
need
help
and
I
think
we
should
cultivate
and
reward
people
who
help
their
neighbors.
So
I'm,
not
the
first
one
to
say
that,
because
someone
has
a
bit
of
a
bigger
house,
is
necessarily
someone
who
should
be
paying
more
in
terms
of
monies,
but
if
they
were
to
pay
more,
it
would
be
toward
affordable
housing,
at
least
in
good
conscience,
because
they're
leaving
wanting
to
help
us
if
they're
leaving,
because
they
don't
like
Evanston,
then
please
help
with
affordable
housing.
We'll
get
some
people.
W
They
will
live
here
who
want
to
live
here,
but
in
terms
of
what
I
know
I've
seen
people
with
generous
hearts,
who've
helped
me
under
circumstances
for
which
they're
being
challenged
and
I
think
that's
brave
and
I.
Think
that's
wonderful
and
I.
Think
there's
more
people
like
that,
so
my
proposal
would
be
is
to
keep
it
at
5%
for
everybody,
especially
especially
in
honor
of
the
people
who
are
helping
this
community
as
previously
stated
and
allow
the
cell
or
the
buyer
rather
to
do
that
either
2
2+2
formula
in
terms
of
the
dedication
of
funds.
W
It
cannot
be
overstated
that
forget
the
general
fund
make
this
affordable,
housing
and
and
find
other
ways
to
increase
monies
going
into
affordable
housing,
because
the
issues
you
heard
about
single-family
homes
is
now
coming
up.
Finally,
with
a
great
strong
voice
and
I
heard
it
today
and
I
was
really
happy
and
the
single
housing
issue
is
going
to
decrease
the
number
of
unaffordable
homes,
so
you're
looking
at
something
that
will
help
people
and
decrease
the
number
of
unaffordable
homes
by
not
raising
prices
of
the
houses.
W
A
Okay,
okay:
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
resolution?
60
R
18,
instructing
the
city
clerk
to
submit
for
the
November
6
2018
ballot
referendum
smoked
in
seconded
for
yeah
I'm
gonna
go
to
discuss,
I'm
gonna
go
to
discussion
after
all.
Right,
let
me
just
run
through
a
referendum
for
a
proposal
to
increase
the
real
estate
transfer
tax
with
the
additional
revenue
dedicated
the
city
of
Evanston
general
fund.
Is
there
a
motion?
Second,
okay:
I'm,
going
to
open
it
for
discussion
only
Fleming.
I
A
L
Be
happy
to
good
evening
Michelle,
Mason
cup
corporation
counsel,
the
publication
that's
listed
in
the
Chicago
Tribune
is
the
general
fund.
The
City
Council
could
at
a
later
date
adapt
a
different
resolution
for
the
dedicated
funding
source.
But
what
is
before
you
is
for
the
general
fund,
and
that
is
what
we
have
published
so.
L
A
But
so
just
so
everybody
so
I
spoke
to
the
city
manager
about
just
this
point,
because
I've
heard
different
people
I
mean
tonight.
We
heard
a
lot
of
people
say:
hey
we'd,
like
to
see
it
dedicated
into
the
affordable
housing
fund.
I've
had
other
people
say
we'd
like
to
see
it
dedicated
towards
the
debt
service
on
the
new
robber
crown
community
center.
The
bottom,
the
bottom
line
is
the
referendum,
as
it
stated
today
needs
to
be
voted
on
in.
In
those
words
later
on
and
aldermen
could
put
forward.
A
You
know
a
a
resolution
that
says:
I
would
like
to
you
know
specifically
dedicate
these
funds
to
something
and
that
a
draft
resolution
would
come
to
the
council.
That
could
be
done
at
any
time
whether
it's
before
the
election,
if
this
ultimately
ends
up
on
the
on
the
ballot
or
it
could
be
done
after
that,
because.
I
I
This
imagines
that
one
more
point
from
the
corporation
council
at
a
later
point:
can
you
give
me
a
little
more
clarity
on
that,
because
I
understand
this
has
to
go
to
the
ballot
so
I'd
be
happy
to
thank
you.
Okay,
I
mean
you
can't
do
that
now.
Just
so
I
understand
if
I
vote
for
this
do
I
have
an
option
of
changing
that,
so
that
when
it's
on
the
ballot
reflects.
I
A
H
A
J
But
the
reason
we're
so
frustrated
is
what
she's
trying
to
say
is.
During
this
conversation,
we
tried
to
express
what
she's
trying
to
express
is
that
we
are
committed
to
co-sponsoring
a
motion
at
whatever
time,
it's
appropriate,
that
we
support
splitting
the
the
fund
between
the
general
fund
and
the
affordable
housing
fund
and
we're
going
to
lobby
our
colleagues
to
do
the
same
at
that
point
in
time.
L
J
A
B
A
Okay
resolution
60
are
instructing
the
city
clerk
to
submit
for
November
6
2018
ballot,
a
referendum
for
the
proposed
increase
in
the
real
estate
transfer
tax,
with
the
additional
revenue
dedicated
the
city
of
Evanston
general
fund,
passes
the
Evanston
City
Council
on
a
vote
of
6
to
2
okay,
so
this
referendum
will
appear
on
the
on
the
ballot.
Is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn
this
public
meeting.
X
A
Right
I
declare
the
motion
carried
and
the
public
hearing
for
the
proposed
real
estate
transfer
tax
increases
adjourned
at
9:25
p.m.
all
right.
We're
going
to
now
move
on
to
regular
public
comment.
We
have,
as
I
mentioned
this
may
have
moved
just
slightly
31
people
that
have
signed
up
for
public
comment.
I
do
see
that
we
have
a
lot
of
folks
signed
up
for
public
comment
for
items
that
aren't
on
the
on
the
public
agenda.
A
Tonight
we
have
10
people
signed
up
for
the
dog
beach
I
want
to
talk
about
that
and
six
people
that
would
like
to
speak
about
Harley
Clark.
As
you
all
know,
our
rules
that
we
set
aside
45
minutes
for
a
public
comment
with
31
speakers.
I'm
gonna
ask
everyone.
If
you
can
keep
your
public
comments
to
1
minute
in
15
seconds,
okay,
I'm,
gonna
I
know!
That's!
You
know,
it'll
force
you
to
be
right
spot
on
with
your
comments.
A
Okay,
so
a
minute
15
I'll,
give
you
a
little
nudge,
okay
as
you're
getting
up
to
that
and
if
you
can
wrap
it
up
soon
after
I'd
appreciate
it.
Okay
again
because
we
move
people
over
to
that
other
agenda.
Ultimately,
as
I
go
through
here,
if
I
have
missed
you
or
you've
already
spoken,
you
say:
hey
I!
Don't
need
to
speak
again.
We
welcome
that
all
right
as
always
appreciate
everybody's
civility
and
respect
for
the
difference.
Opinions
that
people
have
Kathleen
Eggman
did
you
want
to
speak
Kathleen,
okay,
we're
going
to
move
on
Doug,
sharp.
A
T
Get
there's
a
leash
law
I
get
that
there
was
trouble
dredging
the
sand
for
this
year's
dog
Beach
I
believe
that
another
individual
who
will
speak
this
evening
has
done
good
research
has
an
excellent
idea
that
people
who
own
dogs
like
I,
do
taxpayers
would
support,
would
endorse
and
would
urge
you
to
help
make
a
reality.
So
Barbara
I
don't
know
mr.
mayor
I,
don't
know
where
she
is
on
your
list.
But
if
you
put
Barbara
next,
everybody
will
back
what
she
proposes.
She
has
researched
this
option
and
knows
what
she's
stopping.
A
Y
I
would
like
to
make
the
following
plea:
Lincoln
Street
Beach
should
become
the
dog
beach
and
I
should
tell
you
that
we
had,
even
though
we
can't
conquer
get
on
the
beach
this
year,
there
were
20
people
here,
and
most
of
them
are
not
familiar
with
the
pattern
of
the
council,
and
so
many
of
them
have
left,
but
there
were
20
people
and
I'm
personally
am
impressed.
The
dog
Beach
has
been
a
profit
center
for
the
city.
Three
years
ago,
when
we
had
a
real
dog
Beach,
the
profit
was
sixty
thousand
dollars.
Y
A
M
A
A
Okay,
great
so
Doug's
at
Doug's
gone
Jill
Zordon,
her
zierden
apologize
if
I
mispronounce,
okay,
she's
coming
Barbara
already
spoke,
and
then
I've
got
Helen
Hebrew
mamas
Barbara
you're
with
Barbara
I,
like
it
Helen
how
about
Karen,
/
olya
earlier,
okay,
good,
all
right!
So
no
speak,
no
speak!
Jeff
Smith,
all
right,
you'll
be
after
these
guys
welcome.
Jill.
Thank.
Z
You,
my
name
is
Jill
Zordon
I'm,
a
third
generation
Evan
Stone,
Ian
and
I
only
recently
moved
back
to
the
8th.
Excuse
me,
the
9th
ward,
after
14
years
out
of
the
country,
together
with
my
husband
choosing
Evanston,
to
raise
our
two
young
children
here
and
I
believe
Evanston
to
be
a
truly
special
place.
Z
I
can
understand
that
the
council
is
tired
of
discussing
Harley,
Clark
and
I
can
understand
the
allure
of
an
offer
to
cover
costs
and
be
done
with
this
perceived
problem,
but
there
are
very
real
and
very
significant
risks
and
moving
forward
with
demolition,
particularly
so
in
light
of
the
dunes
groups
disavowal
of
paying
all
project
costs,
they
will
not
write
a
blank
check.
This
was
made
patently
clear
at
the
last
count.
Z
Excuse
me
at
the
council
session
on
the
23rd
of
July
I'm
sure
you
will
hear
in
comments
tonight
valid
concerns
raised
by
local
citizens
regarding
the
under
valued
estimates,
funding
obligations,
environmental
hazards
and
value
in
preserving
our
historical
structures.
I
share
many
of
these
concerns
and
can
capture
my
sentiment
in
this.
Why
should
we
current
and
future
residents
value
the
historic
fabric
of
Evanston?
Z
If
our
elected
residents
excuse
me,
if
the
elected
representatives
don't
demonstrate
the
same
regard
like
most
of
my
fellow
75,000
Devin
stone,
Ian's
I
can't
offer
you
$400,000,
but
on
behalf
of
citizens
of
Evanston
I'm
here,
to
offer
you
the
gift
of
time
in
the
form
of
$15,000
to
cover
one
year
of
the
city's
maintenance
costs
of
the
Harley
Clarke
mansion.
This
is
not
in
defiance
to
the
doones
group,
but
is
rather
an
offer
to
allow
the
city
time
to
make
a
thoroughly
informed
decision
to
best
honor.
Z
A
You
can
you
can
bring
that
on
up
here.
Sure
you
can
you
can
you
can
well
we'll
see
about
doing
that
after
okay,
let's
see
we
got
to
get
through
here
right,
we've
got
Jeff
Smith
and
I'm
gonna
call
if
a
bunch
of
names-
and
just
if
you
don't
mind
lining
up-
we've
got
Jeff
Smith
and
Mike
Kelly
jannat
risky,
Bennett,
Johnson
and
then
Joyce
is
or
cease
and
again
we've
got
a
minute
15
set
aside
for
each
person,
so
I
appreciate
respect
you.
A
AA
AA
But
if
you
read
it,
it's
actually
a
binding
contract
so
you've,
given
the
city
manager
authority
to
execute
a
contract
to
demolish
a
million
dollar
plus
public
asset
that
hasn't
been
seen
by
the
public
or
debated
by
this
council
in
final
printed
form
and
tonight's
minutes
also
say
the
certificate
of
appropriateness
will
be
applied
for
after
the
MU
is
executed,
and
the
MOU
itself
sets
that
out
as
one
of
the
future
steps.
But
the
July
23
resolution
on
the
MOU
also
authorized
applying
for
that
certificate,
which
contradicts
tonight's
minutes.
AA
AA
When
and
if
appropriateness
comes
back
before
this
council
in
administrative
review,
which
is
going
to
totally
tank
the
due
process,
so
I
urge
you
retract
the
aspect
of
the
723
resolution
that
authorizes
going
to
the
Preservation
Commission
and
direct
instead,
then,
no
application
for
such
a
certificate
be
taken
to
the
Commission
until
the
public
sees
and
the
council
separately
authorizes,
executing
an
MOU
in
final
form
until
the
council
separately,
debates
and
votes
on
the
appropriateness
of
demolition
and,
finally,
until
the
citizens
have
had
a
chance
to
speak
through
referendum.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Jeff
all.
AB
Good
evening,
City
Council
mr.
mayor,
thank
you
for
your
service.
I've
been
living.
I
want
to
speak
in
opposition
to
this
crazy
idea
to
have
parking
apps
for
Northwestern
football
fans
on
gameday
for
a
half
a
century,
I
have
lived
within
a
five-block
radius
of
Ryan
field
and
my
friends
come
and
go
on
Saturdays,
and
it's
just
unconscionable
to
think
that
myself
and
other
residents
would
have
our
guests
ticketed
for
coming
to
visit
us
on
a
game
day.
I
think
that
also
we
would
not
see
one
penny
of
the
revenue
as
residents.
AB
You
know
at
all.
We
would
benefit
not
at
all
from
from
this
and
half
of
the
Northwestern
fans
are
part
of
the
over-the-hill
Hill
gang
like
myself
and
don't
use
apps
I
mean
you
are
looking
to
sucker
punch
these
people
and
really
offend
them
to
our
community.
Bye-Bye
I
guarantee
you
a
third
half
of
the
people
would
be,
you
know,
get
tickets,
do
we
know
it
our
neighbors
and
we'll
Matt?
Do
there
are
two
hundred
yards
away
from
Ryan
field?
How
do
they
deal
with
the
parking
that
inundates
their
streets
as
well?
A
P
The
I
think
it's
interesting.
What
budget
crisis
do
we
have
here
when
we're
putting
artwork
under
a
bridge
and
I
mean
it's?
The
interesting
thing
here,
though,
is
this
council
tonight
is
looking
at
a
budget
crisis
and
you're
looking
to
put
money
to
affordable
housing
in
an
ordinance.
It's
it's
it's
out
of
control.
You
have
no
sense
of
what's
going
on
and
you're
wasting
money
on
this
stuff
to
like
this
art,
the
so-called
art
under
the
bridge.
Here
Wally
wanted
to
spend
$600,000
to
paint
a
bridge,
we
didn't
own,
and
you
know
what
it's
interesting.
P
The
piece
of
burlap
is
falling
off.
The
bridge
now
for
probably
a
month,
and
it
has
not
been
put
back
on-
is
that
a
ploy
to
get
the
bridge
painted
or
the
city
can't
get
the
job
done.
I
mean,
what's
going
on
here,
really
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
paint
a
bridge.
We
don't
know
so
we
you
know
really
when
it
come
to
these
meetings.
It's
like
nobody
seems
to
have
a
good
understand.
What's
going
on,
it's
really
interesting
and
I
thought
you
were
sort
of
we're
a
business
man
there's
no
direction
here.
P
AC
Mr.
mayor
mr.
Courtney,
remember,
the
council's
fellow
citizens:
I
arise
on
three
items:
the
West
End
task
force,
project
of
locating
the
pumping
station
and
the
black
community
Harley
Clark,
and
the
need
to
have
black
and
brown
kids
visit,
the
lake
and
the
Hal
project,
which
isn't
also
implicit
with
race
and
power
power.
Of
course,
they
say
is
with
the
people,
but
power
is
also
with
money
and
influence.
AC
Solutions
are
simple:
the
West
End
Taff
towards
the
pumping
station
should
be
relocated
in
a
place
where
it
doesn't
affect
the
community.
That's
not
a
big
deal
that
should
be
done.
Of
course,
they're
always
talking
us
against
anything.
As
far
as
a
Harley
Clark
one
is
the
check
that
you
just
got,
but,
more
importantly,
the
people
talk
about
a
cost
of
rebuilding
the
mansion.
On
the
contrary,
it
becomes
an
income
stream,
some
sales
tax
and
from
property
taxes.
AC
So
it
is
not
a
budget
impact,
it's
a
positive
impact
plus
it
has
again
meets
our
diversity,
assume
diversity
and
democracy.
The
other
one
is
a
high
project,
the
housing
of
women
in
an
area
again,
there's
a
lot
of
resistance
from
the
community.
The
community
should
be
listened
to,
so
we're
not
less
religious
community
resistant
people
have
power.
AC
A
AD
My
name
is
Joyce
Zeiss
I
live
in
the
seventh
Ward
I
lived,
my
house
backs
on
the
west
parking
lot
of
the
football
stadium.
I've
lived
there
for
44
years,
so
I've
seen
a
lot
in
the
neighborhood
I'm
here
to
speak
against
the
proposal
to
charge
the
parking
fee
in
our
neighborhood
for
all
fans
who
come
in
except
for
residents.
First
of
all,
the
figures
that
are
proposed
making
$100,000
on
this
doesn't
really
add
up
five
of
those
ten
spaces
on
the
block.
I
guarantee
you
will
be
parked
up
by
residents
so
right.
AD
There,
we've
cut
it
in
half
I
think
that
the
proposal
will
probably
generate
more
ill-will
than
money,
not
just
for
residents
who
are
inconvenience,
but
also
for
fans
who
maybe
have
flown
in
or
drove
an
along
driven,
a
long
distance
and
then
come
to
park
and
find
out
they're
either
going
to
get
an
$80
ticket
because
I
don't
understand.
What's
going
on
or
they'll
be
paying
$40
I
would
like
to
say
that
a
lot
of
people
will
flock
to
a
mess
and
the
businesses
there.
AD
The
restaurants
there
will
get
the
business
as
opposed
ones
on
central
streets,
so
where
there's
workers
on
Central
Street
the
park
in
our
neighborhood
on
Saturdays,
because
that's
where
they
park
when
they
work
so
I
just,
would
urge
you
to
make
our
city
and
our
football
games
welcoming
to
the
people
who
come.
Thank
you
please
note.
A
A
If
I'm
messing
up
all
these
names
and
Madiga
WA
Le
Berger
al
Chi
no
come
on
up
yeah,
you
in
oh,
come
on
up
here
and
I'm
gonna
keep
going
because
I
want
you
guys
to
line
up
if
you're,
if
you're
in
the
room,
James
Engelmann,
James,
you're,
here
right,
okay,
ERV
charcoal
reserved
here,
okay,
Kathy
Benz,
it
looks
like
don't
park
there.
You
could
say
I'm
with
Barbara
and
then
marked
indem
welcome,
hi.
AE
AE
We
move
to
where
we
live,
because
we
lived
at
Central
and
Asbury
and
because
we
were
right
in
the
middle
of
everything
and
we
wanted
to
be
a
little
bit
further
away
where
we
could
choose
to
either
participate
or
not
participate
and
the
idea
that
you're,
bringing
it
to
our
doorstep
and
influencing
our
church,
which
is
two
blocks
away.
That's
weddings
and
funerals
and
I
know
for
a
fact
that
they're
rearranging
a
memorial
service
because
of
a
northwestern
football
game.
AE
AF
A
AG
AG
Well,
I'll
try
to
make
it
short
good
evening.
Everyone.
My
name
is
herb
Chocolate,
Venice,
Evanston
resident
for
about
40
years,
I'd
like
to
analyze
what
we're
getting
from
the
robert
crown
project
without
going
into
detail
of
every
facility.
That's
included
all,
but
one
are
duplicated
elsewhere
in
the
city
of
Evelyn.
AG
AG
There
is
a
couple
alternatives,
one
eliminated
everything
except
the
athletic
fields
in
the
ice
rink
that
was
considerably
reduced,
the
cost
another
is
the
bring
in
investor
who
would
take
over
the
project
and
then
immediately
lemonade.
Our
maintenance
costs
that
we
are
still
still
having
it's
not
too
late
to
change
course.
All
they're
doing
this
month
is
putting
up
fencing.
A
AH
AH
That
success
has
been
is
apparent
now
in
our
brand-new
strategic
plan,
and
all
this
has
happened
under
the
direction
of
a
new
executive
director,
Betty
Boggs,
along
with
an
really
gifted
staff
and
a
very
dedicated
board
of
directors,
so
I'm
here
tonight
to
urge
you
to
support
connections
for
the
homeless.
For
me,
it's
a
no
brainer,
because
I'm
inside
the
organization
now
and
I
know
their
good
work
and
I.
Think
that
experience
with
this
council
and
the
TV
program
has
been
a
positive
one,
I
hope
to.
We
can
continue
to
be
part
of
that
program.
A
AI
AJ
Live
to
damage
sec
I
would
liked
the
city
council
to
tell
the
public
this
evening
when
and
where
meaning,
which
government
body
the
final
revised
demolition,
MOU
language
will
be
reviewed
by
the
public
prior
to
the
city.
Moving
forward
with
the
signing
of
this
document
between
the
city
and
the
demolition
group
on
July
23rd,
three
important
changes
were
included
in
two
important
amendments
proposed
and
approved
by
City
Council.
These
amendments
are
substantial
departure
from
the
content
of
the
original
MOU.
There
will
likely
be
substantial
unfunded
costs
to
be
paid
by
the
Evans
and
tax
payers.
AJ
If
the
revised
MOU
does
not
guarantee
in
writing,
there
will
be
no
cost
to
the
city.
The
approvers
revisions
to
the
MOU
will
be
contradictory
to
what
the
demolition
group
has
Calliste
Aidid.
They
have
no
intention
of
giving
the
city
a
blank
check.
The
public
deserves
the
opportunity
to
view
the
revised
MOU
language
prior
to
the
city.
Foot
moving
forward,
don't
take
this
proposal
to
the
present
Preservation
Commission
until
after
the
November
referendum
on
the
Harley
Kirk
house,
and
that
is
what
good
government
requires.
Thank
you.
A
AK
AK
I'm
gonna
try
and
keep
it
together,
I
originally
plan
to
speak
regarding
my
favorite
place
of
contemplation
Harley
Clarke.
However,
since
you
mayor,
Haggerty
took
the
time
to
speak
regarding
suicide
prevention,
awareness,
I've,
changed
direction,
I
sit
on
the
board
of
directors
of
Evanston,
based
Alliance
of
Hope
for
suicide
lost
survivors,
the
foremost
nonprofit
organization
in
the
world,
providing
support
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
365
days
a
year
to
those
who
have
lost
loved
ones
to
suicide.
AK
23
years
ago
this
month
my
step-brother
died
by
suicide
as
a
sidenote
postvention
prevention
communities
don't
use
committed
anymore,
as
it
tends
to
connote
a
crime.
Chan
was
21
funny,
handsome
and
brilliant.
He
was
a
junior
in
the
honors
program
at
Stanford.
At
that
time
there
was
very
little
available
to
suicide
lost
survivors
in
the
way
of
support.
13
years
later
out
of
that
tragedy,
my
mother
formed
the
Alliance
of
Hope
here
in
Evanston
at
our
kitchen
island,
as
a
labor
of
love
now
10
years
on
that
little
organization's
virtual
walls
are
bulging.
AK
Unfortunately,
we
belong
to
a
club
that
no
one
wants
to
join
but
whose
membership
grows
every
hour,
because
suicide
lost
survivors
are
10
times
more
likely
to
become
suicidal
in
the
aftermath.
Postvention
is
increasingly
important.
In
fact,
postvention
is
prevention.
It's
also
increasingly
important
to
fund
postvention
as
a
means
of
prevention.
AK
I
often
say
that
if
we
could
eradicate
the
epidemic,
that
is
suicide
today,
we
would
still
be
caring
for
lost
survivors
for
the
next
100
years,
as
we
go
into
Suicide
Prevention
Month
next
month
and
look
at
it
every
other
month
and
every
other
day.
I.
Ask
you
all
to
please
take
care
of
yourselves
and
please
take
care
of
each
other,
because
postvention
truly
is
prevention
and
mandatory
and
important.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
Jeff
Thank,
You,
Jennifer,
I.
Think
a
lot
of
people
in
this
room
are
really
glad.
You
decided
to
not
talk
about
Holly,
Clark
there'll
be
time
for
them,
and
I
do
and
they'll
be
the
only
time
in
there'll.
Be
time
there'll
be
plenty
of
time
for
that,
so
that
was
very
moving
all
right.

paid

do
we
have

we're
almost
getting

AN
Tonight,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
trisha
Stieglitz,
executive,
executive
development
and
construction
for
a
leading
development
company
in
chicago
she's.
Sorry,
she
can't
be
here
in
time
for
public
comment
and
she
says
I
would
like
to
continue
my
comments
from
the
July
23rd
meeting
regarding
the
issuance
of
both
the
MOU
and
RFP
for
the
demolition
of
the
Harley
Clarke
buildings,
I'm
even
more
concerned.
Now
that
I've
heard
the
MOU
is
being
negotiated,
and
it
does
not
need
to
come
back
for
review
to
City
Council.
AN
If,
true,
how
do
we,
the
citizens
know
it
has
been
agreed
to
I've,
also
heard
the
RFP
has
been
issued
at
the
end
of
this
month.
It
can't
possibly
be
issued
for
demolition
or
construction
deconstruction
of
the
Harley
Clarke
houses
until
the
following
is
done
an
RFP
environmental
engineers.
They
must
contract
with
an
environmental
engineer
for
both
interior
inspection
and
exterior
expection
for
underground
contaminated
soils,
underground
storage
tanks,
other
Taiwanese
past
reports
show
that
there's
a
underground
storage
tank
near
the
Coach
House
of
substantial
amount
of
asbestos
lead
paint.
AN
Mold
all
must
be
permitted
for
then
removed
by
a
licensed
remediation
firm.
Until
this
work
is
done,
cocconi
will
not
issue
a
permit
for
demolition.
They
need
to
hire
mechanical
electrical
plumbing
engineer
firm
to
inspect
in
detail
the
underground
utilities,
services
such
as
plumbing
electrical
fiber,
optics
and
also
pumps
that
feed
the
grotto
which
are
currently
housed
in
the
conservatory
Fleming
sanitary
and
fiber
optics
may
need
to
be
disconnected
from
the
house
and
then
relocated
to
the
public
restrooms.
It
cannot
be
done
without
permits
and
drawings.
AN
X
Good
evening,
Priscilla
Giles,
a
5th
ward.
If
we
have
a
budget
crisis
here
in
Evanston
I,
don't
think
that
we
need
to
be
spending
money
to
make
bus
stops.
I've
been
on
the
bus,
I,
don't
know
if
any
of
you
ride
the
bus
but
I've
been
on
the
bus
when
the
bus
has
gone
from
Davis
Street
to
levy
Center
with
making
one
stop.
X
So
we
don't
need
stops,
stop
signs.
We
just
need
to
be
able
to
stop
for
the
bus
to
stop
not
everyone
is
able
to
walk
those
long
distances.
Secondly,
let's
prevent
homelessness
and
maintain
and
prevent
and
preserve,
I'm
sorry
preserve
and
promote
diversity
by
making
sure
we
have
housing
that
is
affordable
for
all.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AO
So
compare
that
to
what
the
MOU
says-
and
this
is
quote
d,
whereas
Evanston
like
how
Evanston
lighthouse
dunes
offers
to
provide
the
city
of
Evanston,
the
necessary
funding
needed
to
pay
for
certain
PLAs
associated
with
demolishing
the
mansion
and
coach-house
grade
the
subject:
property
and
prefer
perform
deferred.
Landscape
maintenance,
landscaping,
deferred,
landscape
maintenance
was
not
the
wording
of
the
city's
resolution
or
of
the
dunes
groups
repeated
public
assertions.
AO
A
A
We
did
we
did
vote,
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
that.
I
know
that
was
a
separate
hearing.
If
there's
anything
additional,
we
need
to
do
in
the
city
council
meeting
okay,
so
we
have
taken
care
of
sp1
earlier
with
the
hearing.
Well,
okay,
nothing
done
that!
Okay,
so
we've
taken
care
of
sp1
earlier
there's
no
action
that
we
need
to
the
City

needs
to
take
we're

My
my
I
had
two
Corrections
one
was
item
SP
one.
We
the
minutes,
show
what
the
two
motion
amendments
were
that
were
made,
but
it
doesn't
show
that
we
approved
the
amended
motion
which,
at
which
past
five
to
three
and
then
SP,
two
I
think
needed
clarification,
because
a
motion
that
was
made
was
to
deny
the
appeal
and
it
I
think
we
need
to
make
that
clear
in
that
part
of
the
minutes.
I
AI
J
And
I
listened
to
the
entire
YouTube
video
and
I
asked
alderman
Flemming
for
her
written
amendment,
and
it
did
not
say
that,
and
also
the
video
when
she
was
speaking
right
to
my
face
did
not
say
that
and
my
discussion
with
the
city
manager
and
Miss
store
Lee.
We
discussed
it
did
not
say
that
the
fact
is,
it
did
not
say
and
pursue
deconstruction,
so
I'm
asking
that
it
be
struck
all.
A
A

A

A

A
I
Eighteen
ordinance,
93

scheduled
10
Oh
special
Saturday
special
event,
parking
pilot
program
that
was
amended
to
strike
the
50
block
radius.
That
was
in
the
initial
ordinance
and
to
occlude
parking
lots
commonly
referred
to
as
lot
four
and
a
lot
54.
AI
H
H
J
M
H
H
The
well
I
I'm
concerned
about
whether
having
the
this
forty
dollar
parking
fee,
what
it
would
do
to
the
Central
Street
businesses
and
whether
they
don't
they
would
depend
on
the
ability
of
shoppers
to
use
that
use
those
spaces
in
that
lot.
So
that's
why
I'm
removing
it
as
suggesting
that
we
remove
it.
M
H
I
I
AP
H
A
X
A
K
I
AI
A
I
AM
I
Yeah
so
I
actually
need
to
amend
this
I
forgot
that
in
AP
and
W,
so
that
minute
ordinance
just
affects
one
bus
stop.
So
it
said
dodge
Avenue
on
the
east
side
in
the
memo
it
says
north
of
Keaney
and
that
actually
should
be,
should
read
east
side
south
of
key,
be
it's
a
small
change,
but
it
makes
the
difference
for
the
people
who
live
there
and
just
if
I
might
clarify
miss
Giles
comment
about
paying
for
bus
stops.
This.
This
is
done
for
a
couple
different
reasons.
I
You
know
we
operate
under
flag
stops,
which
people
have
mixed
feelings
about
that
this
will
actually
put
in
some
small
cement
pads,
and
so
when
we
do
have
people
in
wheelchairs
or
walking
devices
or
such
they're
not
standing
in
muddy
grass
or
you
know,
trying
to
find
a
place
to
stand,
and
this
one
actually
guarantee
that
the
bus
stops
and
if
you
catch
the
bus
and
you
flag
it.
You
will
realize
that
bus
drivers,
although
they're
great,
can
use
their
discretion
whether
or
not
they
stop.
I
For
you,
based
on
how
they
determine
how
safe
that
stop
is,
and
so
now
with
flagged
with
stops
and
I've
signs
and
then
ADA
accessible,
stop,
where
hope
is
that
more
people
will
actually
catch
the
bus
and
people
were
no
other
bus
is
the
best
Mervis
will
stop
and
understand.
You
know,
might
not
be
a
big
deal
to
some,
but
for
those
who
are
depending
on
our
buses,
particularly
the
winter
I'd.
I
Much
rather
us
kind
of
limit
and
have
designated
stops
and
have
people
who
are
getting
passed,
particularly
on
Dodge,
or
we
have
the
bike
lengths
and
it
makes
the
stops
difficult.
This
also
will
are
just
some
of
the
stop
so
that
the
bus
can
pool
fully
over
lower
their
wheelchair
ramp
and
allow
people
to
access
the
bus
safely.

Tenant-Based
rental
assistant,
renewal
funding,
housing
and
homelessness,
Commission
and
staff
recommend
approval
of
a
funding
renewal
of
$300,000
in
home
funds
to
continue
the
current
tenant
based
rental
assistance
program
administered
by
connections
for
the
homeless.
The
funding
will
provide
stable
housing
for
two
years
to
up
to
ten
at-risk
Evanston
families
with
children
under
the
age
of
18
in
Evanston
that
are
underemployed
and
break
the
cycle
of
poverty
and
instability
by
developing
the
capacity
to
earn
a
living
wage
to
support
their
families
and
afford
market
rate
rental
housing.
AP
The
increase
in
funding
from
250,000
to
300,000
dollars
is
due
to
the
increase
in
cost
to
rent
in
Evanston.
Funding
is
from
the
home
investment
partnerships
program.
Currently,
the
city
has
a
total
of
four
hundred.
Seventy
four
thousand
two
hundred
seventy
five
dollars
and
33
cents
in
available
uncommitted,
home
funds.
It's
for
action,
I,
move
approval,
okay,.
M
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
just
after
listening
to
the
Payton's
public
comments,
I'm
a
little
concerned,
I'm
looking
at
the
time
at
night
and
I,
don't
want
to
open
up
a
debate,
but
I
am
concerned
about
the
family
not
receiving
dollars
and
I.
Don't
know
if
the
executive
director
can
just
make
some
clarification
around
that
I.
V
M
AQ
The
amount
that
she
says
she's
owed
is
in
dispute,
so
we
don't
feel
like
we
owe
that
money,
because
sheets,
and
especially
tonight,
indicated
that
she
may
pursue
some
legal
action
I'm,
not
really
free
to
discuss
more
of
that.
What
I
will
tell
you
is
that
this
contract
is
paid
to
us
in
arrears,
so
we
never
receive
money
that
we
haven't
already
paid
out
to
someone.
So
there
is
no
we're
not
sitting
on
some
money
that
we
are
just
holding
on
to
and
not
paying
someone.
AQ
AI
A
M
J
I'm
I'm
going
to
make
a
proposal
here
and
it's
going
to
involve
you
alderman,
Braithwaite
and
Jamie,
because
I
think
we
both
have
a
relationship
with
both
working,
both
the
paid
ins
and
the
organization
I'm,
going
to
move
that
we
support
the
motion
to
fund
connections
because
we
we
have
two
groups.
Here.
We
have
the
pagans
who
provide
affordable
housing.
We
have
connections
who
are
the
only
they're.
Z
J
We
could
do
that
and
set
up
a
time.
I
think
that
would
be
great,
but
we
have
to
move
on.
We
have
to
approve
this
tonight
and
I
heard
miss
Payton
say
even
though
I
heard
the
second
thing
she
said
right,
okay,
I
did
hear
first
say
that
she
would
be
willing
if
we,
this
could
be
resolved
to
continue
to
work
with
connections,
and
so
I
mean
I.
M
B
A
A
AP
A
A
H
I
I
had
a
quick
question:
I
know
we
went
through
this
last
year
and,
and
it
said
in
the
packet
that
there
was
additional
material
that
actually
wasn't
in
the
packet
and
then
I
had
some
questions
that
I
asked
it
didn't
get
answered.
So
I
have
thought
that
the
director
was
here,
but
I
realized
it's
late.
So
maybe
oh
hi,
all
right.
So
here
are
my
question.
Then
I
don't
know.
If
you'll
have
the
answers,
I
do
you
all?
I
AR
AR
So
that
is
how
we
track
how
we
do
with
the
hotels,
because
that
translates
into
the
taxes,
then
that
come
to
each
community
that
we
represent
and
then
for
the
attractions
and
hotels
and
restaurants
that
we
represent
they're
all
members
of
our
organization
and
when
this
all
started,
because
our
Bureau
started
as
the
Evanston
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau.
It
was
very
important
to
the
city
of
Evanston
that
there
be
public-private
partnership,
so
they
wanted
buy-in
from
the
people
that
are
benefiting
from
most
hospitality
businesses,
so
they
also
pay
into
us.
AR
I
AR
Much
from
our
efforts
alone,
no
not
really,
but
we
do.
We
are
expected
to
report
and
we
do
report
to
the
hotels
all
the
business
that
we
have.
A
just
Bureau
only
report
a
sales,
a
sales
report
that
tracks
occupancy
and
average
daily
rate,
and
we
send
all
the
leads,
who
are
a
lead
generation
business
to
the
hotel
and
we
track
it
and
they
track
it.
AR
The
one
about
percent
of
so
just
another
fact
that
I
think
is
interesting.
The
city,
our
request
is
for
eighty-one
thousand
one
hundred
and
seventy
four
dollars
our
budget.
This
year's
1.85
million,
so
Evanston's
contribution
is
four
percent
of
our
budget,
which
was
another
request
that
we
diversify
our
funding
sources
and
our
of
our
staff.
AR
Twenty
three
percent
of
our
budget
goes
to
salaries,
but
I
also
want
to
clarify
that
it's
not
administrative
or
six
people
and
three
of
those
people
do
direct
sales,
their
sales
and
marketing,
they're,
booking
business,
they're
meeting
with
clients,
their
sales,
people
they're,
not
administrative
people,
but
it's
twenty
three
percent
of
our
budget.
All.
AP
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
yeah,
this
is
this.
Funding
is
really
important
to
the
hotels
in
Evanston
and
many
of
which
are
in
the
downtown
and
in
the
first
and
fourth
Ward's
who
are
facing
increased
competition
from
Airbnb
and
it's
very--it's
downtown.
This
is
I
mean
it's
a
very
tough
business
right
now
and
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
there
supporting
them.
AP
They
are
paying
hotel
tax
a
lot
of
it
and-
and
this
is
a
really
necessary
thing-
I'm
all
during
Fleming,
like
you
when
I
first
came
on
the
council,
I
asked
the
question
about
this
because
I
was
concerned
about
it
and,
as
I
learned
more
about
it
and
realized
how
much
our
hotel
hotel
yours
really
depend

I'm
convinced
that
this
is
money
well
spent.
A
Terrific
Thank
You
alderman
Fisk,
seeking
no
more
lights
and
we
had
a
motion
that
was
second
in
City.
Clerk
ad.
Take
the
role
on
o
to
approval
funding
for
the
Chicago's
North
Shore
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau
for
fiscal
year
2018
in
the
amount
of
eighty
one
thousand
one
hundred
and
seventy
four
dollars
all.

Think
something
very
strange
is
happening.
The
DISA
pre-appointment
I've
not
seen
an
occasion
where
members
of
the
committee
who
have
served
loyally
and
consistently
and
and
well
have
not
been
reappointed
if
they
wanted
to
serve
and
I
mean
I,
know,
there's
an
issue
with
with
a
serious
issue
with
one
member,
but
for
the
other
members.
There's
no
issue
and
I
am
finding
it
really
really
difficult
to
handle.

AS
Want
to
say
point
of
order:
I
I
think
that
we
have
a
process
so
that
this
type
of
discussion
does
not
happen
in
the
public
forum
that,
because
otherwise
people
won't
offer
our
offer
to
themselves
as
to
serve
on
these
committees.
And
so
I
think
that
that
if
there
is
a
discussion
that
it
should
wait
until
after
a.
A
AS
A
Don't
think
this
person
should
be
on
this
committee,
for
instance,
and
I
may
have
a
different
opinion
right
because
I'm
just
one
of
now
ten
people
that
are
up
here
and
you
know,
and
that's
just
sort
of
the
nature
of
it
so
sometimes
right.
We
have
appointments
that
come
up
here.
The
vast
majority
I
think
you
know
unanimously
are
consented
to,
but
sometimes
there's
one
or
two
people
that
say
no
I'm
gonna
vote,
I'm
gonna
vote.
A
A
AS
A
I
would
agree
with
that.
I
think
that
that's
a
respectful
thing
to
do
so.
The
there
are
two
peaks.
There
are
two
individuals
I'd
like
to
point
forward
for
an
up
or
down
vote
this
evening
and
that's
Michael
Miro
and
Hecky
Powell
and
I
guess:
point
of
order
to
the
to
the
city
clerk
to
someone.
Does
the
council
member
need
a
motion
that
or
can
I
listen
that
soothing?

So,
due
to
the
downpour
I
had
to
cancel
the
National
Night
Out
and
so
in
lieu
of
that
myself.
As
the
Ninth
Ward
and
Ridgefield
Park
District
will
partner
together
to
host
a
Ninth
Ward
community
night
on
August,
the
22nd
from
5:00
to
7:00
at
the
Ridgefield
Park
on
bridge
and
Seward.
So
there'll
be
food
trucks
and
fire
trucks
and
all
that
great
stuff.
It's
an
email
will
be
coming
and
also
on
August.

The
parks
and
recs
team
moved
the
combined
events
to
the
Fleetwood
jordanes
Center,
which,
in
a
very
short
period
of
time,
get
a
pretty
decent
crowd
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
thoughts
that
just
circulated
around
the
room
is
the
possibility
of
doing
a
larger
community
event.
It
doesn't
take
away
from
those
who
want
to
do
something
in
their
neighborhoods,
but
that
would
be
something
that's
interesting
to
explore
and
then
as
well.
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
parks
and
recs
team,
dr.
M
Hemingway,
the
outreach
team
and
all
the
staff
surrounding
the
mayor's
Summer
Youth
Employment
Program
this
year.
Out
of
all
the
years,
I've
heard
nothing
but
positive
comments,
citywide.
So
congratulations
on
a
very
successful
Summer,
Youth
Employment
Program.
Clearly
we
saw
that
this
evening
on
the
faces
of
some
of
our
kids.
So
thank
you.
