B
We
have
eight
of
our
City
Council
members
here.
Alderman
Wynn
had
a
long
planned
absence
from
this
meeting,
so
welcome
everyone
to
the
last
City
Council
meeting
of
2017.
This
is
the
Monday
December
11th
2017
meeting
I
have
I
think
I'll.
Look
at
my
colleagues
up
here,
I'll
be
happy,
I
have
no
public
announcements
or
proclamations
other
than
a
happy
holiday.
Happy
Hannukah,
upcoming,
Merry
Christmas
I
mean
Kwanzaa
all
of
that
to
everybody
here
in
Evanston.
C
C
C
He
came
here
after
the
Vietnam
War
after
a
distinguished
military
career
to
try
something
different
and
served
in
the
police
department
rose
to
the
rank
of
sergeant
in
1996
and
retired
from
the
police
department
in
2004.
He
spent
a
lot
of
the
last
parts
of
his
time
in
the
police
department
doing
traffic.
C
C
He
and
I
had
a
chance
to
talk
a
little
bit
this
afternoon
and
I
think
the
one
word
that
came
out
was
nuance,
that
Ricky
understands
Evanston
Ricky
understands
the
the
challenges
that
Evanston
residents
face
and
as
the
parking
manager
you
have
heard
more
than
your
fair
share
of
residential
challenges
between
leaves
and
snow
and
all
the
signs
that
we
have
for
all
of
our
various
parking
regulations.
But
but
Ricky's
always
brought
that
nuance
to
it.
He
understood
the
people's
pain.
He
worked
first
and
foremost
to
try
to
solve
a
problem.
C
He
was
not
your
usual
bureaucrat
to
say:
here's,
the
code
section,
here's
how
you
have
to
deal
with
the
Ricky
always
tries
to
find
a
way
to
come
to
a
solution.
Many
of
you
would
contact
Ricky
for
problems
and
challenges.
The
rez
would
bring
to
you
and
I
know
from
talking
with
all
of
you.
There
was
always
that
nuance.
There
was
always
that
well
Ricky's,
going
to
figure
out
a
way
to
to
mind
the
law,
but
also
make
sure
the
residents
get
what
they
need.
C
In
the
last
several
years
since
I've
been
city
manager,
I've
really
relied
on.
Ricky
do
a
variety
of
things.
He
helped
with
a
review
of
our
public
works
department.
A
few
years
ago,
took
on
responsibilities
most
recently
with
fleet,
an
area
that,
although
we
all
know,
is
Ricky,
loves
two
things
other
than
his
wife
and
dear
family
and
that's
motorcycles
and
Disney,
so
so
the
the
fleet
part
was
was
was.
C
It
was
probably
an
easy
switch
for
him
to
take
on
in
these
last
few
years,
but
Ricky
on
behalf
of
your
colleagues
here
with
the
city
of
Evanston.
We
wanted
to
take
this
moment
and
say:
thank
you.
You
make
Evanston
Evanston
all
the
things
that
people
look
to
in
this
community
the
say
is
valuable
important.
C
You
have
personified
and
you've
used
that
that
nuance
of
yours,
that
fact
that
very
grin
you
have
on
your
face
right
now
and
and
that
confident
look
to
not
only
help
me
to
help
all
your
fellow
staff
help
members
of
the
council
over
the
years.
You
have
really
helped
make
this
community
what
it
is.
So
it
is
with
great
gratitude
and
a
fair
amount
of
sadness
that
I
present
with
you
this
plaque.
Congratulations!
Thank
you.
D
I'm
gonna
try
to
make
this
short
and
normally
you
know,
I'm
very
long-winded,
non-roma
Hegarty.
Mr.
Bokka
wits,
members
of
the
council
clerk
read
for
the
last
time:
Ricky
Voss
fleet
services,
administrative
division-
it's
been
a
privilege,
I
mean
I,
said
this.
The
other
day
at
my
little
going-away
party
to
grow
up
in
Evanston
and
then
serve
this
very
community
you
grow
up
in
for
37
years
is,
is
an
honor
to
be
able
to
work
with
everybody
that
I've
had
a
chance
to
the
mentors
on
the
council.
Mr.
pop
Kuwait's,
mr.
D
Lyons
and
many
others
that
have
gone
before
me
has
been
tremendous
without
their
support.
Without
this
help,
this
city
would
not
be
where
it
is
today
and
I've
seen
it
growing
up
here,
go
through
its
peaks
and
valleys
and
fort,
and
unfortunately,
we've
seen
it
start
to
go
into
their
Peaks.
Now
we're
seeing
a
redevelopment
which
is
only
a
attributes
to
the
council
and
the
staff,
members
and
I've
always
said
I'm
only
as
good
as
my
staff,
and
they
have
been
truly
supportive
of
everything.
D
I've
done
so
with
that,
though,
there's
one
person
and
a
family
here
that
I
have
to
remember:
if
I
didn't
have
their
support,
I
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
do
it.
My
lovely
bride
of
46
years,
my
kids
and
one
of
my
grandchildren
and
a
good
sounding
board.
Then
you
know
my
wife
had
to
spend
a
lot
of
nights.
Tour
I
was
never
home.
Maybe
that's
a
good
thing
for
her
IIIi,
don't
know.
Maybe
in
30
days
from
now,
I'll
see
the
wine
ads
on
my
phone.
D
That
says
you
know
you
need
to
go,
but
without
their
support
and
without
everything
here
I
would
not
have
been.
Nor
would
the
city
be
successful.
I
think
it's
been
a
lot
of
fine
work
and
I'd
like
to
thank
everybody.
I'd
like
to
thank
the
council
I'd
like
to
thank
the
residents,
the
very
residents
that
we
support,
I.
Think
it's
very
important
so
again.
Thank
you
very
much.
It's
been
a
privilege
and
it's
been
a
definite
over
the
past
37
years.
G
I
just
wanted
it
Ricky
hold
on
ready.
You
just
did
it.
I
do
just
want
to
extend
personal
thanks
to
Ricky,
but
also
to
your
family,
for
sharing
the
time
that
you
could
have
been
spending
with
them
with
us
for
all
of
these
years
as
a
new
councilmember
eight
years
ago,
I'm
no
longer
new
council
member,
but
I
very
quickly
realized
that
you
were
somebody
that
I
could
turn
to
to
solve
problems,
not
just
whatever
your
title
was.
G
You
were
always
there
for
me
when
I
had
a
question
about
something,
and
you
know
jumping
into
this
job,
as
our
new
council
members
know,
there's
a
lot.
You
don't
know,
there's
a
lot
of
context
that
you
don't
know,
and
there
were
many
times
when
you
were
able
to
be
the
person
who
was
there
for
me
and
I'm
very
grateful
for
that.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
D
C
As
you
all
know,
the
Aurora
City
Council
and
their
mayor
recently
appointed
and
confirmed
mr.
Lyons
as
the
new
chief
financial
officer
and
the
city
treasurer
for
the
City
of
Aurora
Illinois
second-largest
city.
The
Marty
has
been
with
us
for
nine
and
a
half
years
as
finance
director,
chief
financial
officer
and
I.
Think,
as
many
of
you
have
have
said
over
time,
you
know
the
impact
of
Marty's
work
has
been
substantial.
C
The
financial
circumstances
of
the
city
of
Evanston
I
think
have
generally
always
been
strong,
but
I
think
under
Marty's
leadership
and
stewardship
I
think
we've
been
able
to
go
to
it.
A
different
level.
I
think
we're
looking
more
carefully
really
across
the
board
and
our
finances.
We've
been
looking
very
thoughtfully
at
our
enterprise
funds,
looking
very
thoughtfully
of
investments
of
infrastructure
and
in
a
community
like
Evanston,
it's
difficult.
You
know
our
official
motto.
Progress
without
change
is
not
what
a
finance
guy
wants
to
hear.
He
wants
to
know
that
there's
dollars
behind
it.
C
He
wants
to
know
that
good
investments
are
being
made.
He
wants
to
know
that
when
he
goes
before
Moody's
and
Fitch,
you
think
in
a
bond
rating
that
that
this
community,
you
know,
is
investing
in
itself
and
is
making
sure
that
we
are
all
being
good
stewards
of
the
revenues
and
the
dollars
that
the
residents
of
eveson
trust
in
us,
and
so
marty
has
done
that.
But
I've
already
done
more
than
that.
Marty's
role,
as
the
assistant
city
manager,
I,
think,
has
helped
very
much
keep
this
organization
on
on
track.
C
It
is
the
legacy
that
he
leaves
as
this
project
moves
forward
that
will
serve
generations
of
Evanston
residents.
So
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
it's
my
pleasure.
Marty,
to
give
you
this
plaque,
you
have
been
a
tremendous
partner
personally
and
professionally
for
me,
over
the
the
eight
and
a
half
years
that
we
have
been
together
here
in
Evanston,
your
your
departures
as
a
loss
for
all
of
us
for
myself
personally
and
professionally.
We
wish
you
all
the
best
in
the
future.
H
H
Much
that
you
do
so.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
trust
that
you
have
showed
in
me.
As
far
as
providing
financial
support
to
the
city,
I
appreciate
it
immensely.
As
far
as
I'd
like
to
thank
all
of
my
staff,
who
are
here
tonight,
we've
had
a
great
budget
team.
You
have
great
teams
that
have
had
to
do
some
transition
work
was
the
acting
city
acting
a
Economic,
Development
Community
and
Economic
Development
Director,
so
I've
met
many
many
folks
here,
so
I
apologize
for
not
naming
everybody
by
name.
H
H
H
I've
never
been
in
a
community
less
than
five,
so
your
leadership
has
been
a
integral
part
of
my
success
and
without
breaking
up
over
anything
I'll
go
comedy,
I'm,
not
quite
ready
to
say,
I'll
miss
those
teachable
moments,
but
but
that
will
come
and
that
they'll
be
a
time
within
a
year
where
I
will
say
I
will
miss
those
teachable
moments.
Thank
you
very
much
for
all
the
support.
H
You've
given
me
and
then
thank
you
to
the
residents
of
Evanston
I've
been
able
to
have
great
conversations
with
so
many
people
who
I
was
able
to
talk
with
about
finance
who
I
was
able
to
talk
with
about
service
some
of
the
best
right
down
at
the
collector's
office
when
we're
trying
to
get
through
a
debate
but
I
appreciate
them
all
for
their
commitment
and
their
understanding
of
how
hard
it
is
to
run
this
city.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
Just
want
to
say
Marty,
real,
quick
I
haven't
been
here,
obviously
very
long,
but
you
have
been
so
patient
with
me.
Who
has
no
finance
knowledge.
Sorry
from
voters.
You
have
been
so
patient
with
me
meeting
with
me
about
the
tips
and
sitting
down
I.
Think
that's
plain
spreadsheets
to
me
is
I
hope,
a
mr.
city
manager.
You
find
someone
else
patient,
as
mr.
Lyons
and
I
will
miss
you
and
I
might
call
you
when
you're
in
a
row.
J
J
There
will
be
a
huge,
huge,
huge
gap
left
when
you
leave
so
on
behalf
of
myself,
the
residents
of
the
second
Ward,
the
businesses
in
the
West
and
the
the
MWBE
program
that
once
we
had
use
that
staff
member
really
started
to
excel
I
can't
thank
you
enough
and
I
hope
that
we
continue
to
stay
friends
so
I.
Thank
you
ultimate.
K
Maybe
janella
can
tell
us
this
I
have
never
seen
you
angry
ever
I've,
never
seen
you
lose
your
temper
I've.
Never
I
can't
believe
it.
It's
just.
Oh
okay!
So
we'll
talk
about
that
when
you're
gone,
because
you
certainly
hidden
that
from
the
rest
of
us,
no
murder
you've
just
been
a
joy
to
work
with
it,
and
this
is
not
easy.
For
any
of
us,
I
mean
we
have
I
mean
the
questions
that
we
have
are
are
so
complicated.
K
You've
cheerfully
taken
on
all
the
assignments
that
we've
given
you
in
in
a
way
that
is
and
delightful
I.
Just
can't
imagine
anyone
filling
your
shoes,
don't
think
that
I
mean
you're
gonna
be
closer
to
home,
but
it's
not
gonna
be
as
nice
as
Evanston,
so
you
can
always
come
back,
but
I
mean
everybody
needs
to
know.
I
mean
Marty
drove
and
two
hours
here.
K
B
All
right
city,
city
clerk:
do
you
have
any
communications?
No
communication?
Okay,
all
right
we're
going
to
turn
to
public
comment.
We
have
a
little
less
than
20
people
signed
up
for
public
comment.
So
tonight
what
let's
go
with
two
and
a
half
minutes
per
person
as
usual,
I'll
give
you
a
little
nudge
if
you're,
getting
close
to
your
two
and
a
half
minutes
and
as
always,
I
appreciate
everybody
respecting
the
the
time
so
rattle
off
the
first
three
mic.
Visoko
is
the
first
speaker
tonight
and
then
we
have
Priscilla
Giles
and
then
James
angleman.
L
Mic
facility,
27:28
Reese
I,
hope
that
citizen
comments
regarding
the
budget
recommendations
that
we
make
are
taken
too
hard.
You
know
that
not
a
waste
of
our
time,
I
haven't
heard
anything
since
the
last
meeting,
where
the
budget
was
discussed
in
a
lot
of
detail,
I
haven't
heard
the
results
of
any
of
the
conversations
regarding
the
library,
for
instance,
library
renovation.
L
I'm
going
to
just
say:
I
am
in
favor
of
you
setting
meeting
times
start
and
thoughts
start
start
and
stop
times
it's
great
that
you
can
start
at
8:15.
If
you
hold
to
that,
and
you
should
just
go
on
for
a
couple
hours
and
call
it
a
call
it
a
night
get
out
here
by
10:30,
something
like
that.
I
also
wanted
to
take
a
minute
and
just
make
note
to
all
of
Anna
Wilson.
L
You
know
I
made
an
issue
of
the
clerk's
office
at
the
last
actually
is
via
email,
because
we
ran
out
of
time
for
citizen
comments.
The
last
time
and
I've
heard
more
about
that
from
various
people
that
enlightened
a
little
bit
so
I
want
to
apologize.
If
I
came
on
too
strong
for
that,
but
I
do
want
to
see
this.
The
clerk's
office
funded
to
the
extent
necessary
for
the
work
to
get
done
and
I'd
like
to
see
the
clerk.
Do
the
work
he's
supposed
to
do
so.
L
M
Priscilla
Giles
fifth
Ward
I,
don't
think
I
speak
ever
the
whole
three
minutes
given
for
public
comment
and
I
often
stay
until
the
meetings
over
but
I
do
wonder
if
the
council
listens
to
the
public
when
I
see
so
many
vacant
and
underused
offices.
Here,
when
I
see
committees
being
combined
to
save
money
and
see
employees
placed
on
part-time
or
being
dismissed,
city
service
is
reduced
and
large
groups
of
citizens
advocating
for
items
and
the
council
voting
against
us.
Are
you
really
listening
and
taking
into
account
with
the
public
ask
for
a
need?
Thank
you.
M
O
My
vows
name,
my
name,
is
rocky
I'm
trying.
Please
keep
not
very
going
because
of
my
I
hear
dirty
people
in
living.
My
paper
and
lab
half
of
them
used
to
library
and
as
mine
is
terrible
thing
to
race,
and
I
would
like
to
have
that
mobile.
That
I
better
bill
come
back
again
because
it's
like
people
cannot
travel.
So
if
they
come
to
over
the
rainbow,
that's
real
chairs
could
go
up
on
the
way
up
there.
Thank
you
very
much
have
a
nice
day.
Ok,
thank
you.
James.
P
Generic
risky
very
likely,
if
the
council
wants
to
face
that
future
budget
increases,
there
will
be
very
dramatic.
They
will
be
in
the
range
of
50
to
100
percent
and
it's
very
painful
many
people
personally.
If
the
money
was
well
spent,
it
would
be
good,
I
believe
quite
a
bit
of
our
budget
at
least
five
to
ten
percent
is
purely
waste,
mismanagement
and
other
problems.
Here
tonight
we've
got
a
lawsuit
of
about
three
and
a
half
million
dollars.
The
previous
meeting.
P
We
lost
another
million
dollars
because
of
a
reorganization
of
departments
and
a
elimination
of
someone's
job.
These
kind
of
things
cost
a
lot
of
money
and
they
add
to
the
taxes.
We
have
all
these
projects
and
things
going
on
here.
There
are
no
value
to
the
taxpayers,
and
many
of
these
things
have
you
know:
there's
an
economic
development,
they're
giveaways
of
our
money,
the
things
that
we
need
are
for
the
public.
The
public
wants
things
like
libraries,
our
parks,
and
these
things
seem
to
be
highly
neglected
by
this
council.
P
You
know
and
there's
no
excuse
if
you
can't
read
the
budget
or
to
understand
it
at
least,
understand
what
the
people
need
and
I
think
that's
important.
Frankly,
we
have
many
messes
here
and
we
have
a
hidden
budget
here
with
city
staff
is
using
the
budget
whenever
they
want.
They
take
it
as
$5,000
chunks,
$10,000
chunks
up
to
19
thousand
nine
hundred
ninety
nine
dollars,
and
nobody
knows
about
it
and
it's
hidden
and
that's
misuse
of
our
money,
and
we
need
to
stop
that
and
this
council
needs
to
put
it
under
control.
P
But
the
reason
it's
not
under
control
is
because
it
aids,
council
members
and
whatever
they
want-
and
that's
what's
going
on
here.
The
public
needs
is
gonna
have
to
start
looking
at
this
very
closely
and
finally,
I
realize
there's
many
things
that
have
been
done
here:
I
just
realized
after
it's
been
a
year
since
smiley
brothers
took
a
lease
on
Howard,
Street
sits
down,
there
were
doped,
and
rather
but
the
recycling
center
nothing's
happened.
We're
in
the
process
of
we
spent
engineering
dollars
to
start
to
build
a
parking
lot.
P
So
are
we
going
to
continue
to
waste
money
if
it
doesn't
appear
they're
gonna?
Do
anything
they've
got
six
months
left
so,
what's
going
on
here,
the
council
ought
to
ask
questions
about
our
money
where
it's
going,
that
million
dollars
coming
out
of
the
parking
fund.
That's
gonna
build
that
Park
and
we
don't
need
that
might
not
be
so
good
for
the
animal
shelter.
What
you
claim
you're
gonna
help
in
the
next
budget
round.
There
are
many
things
this
council
needs
to
take
seriously
with
our
money.
P
Q
Q
I
go
there
every
single
day,
if
I
don't
go
every
day,
I
don't
feel
like
you
know,
I'm
completely
go
every
day,
but
totally
I
strongly
strongly
recommend
passing
an
operating
budget,
because
services
that
they
provide
to
the
citizens
of
the
city
are
unparalleled
and
I,
don't
know
where
I
would
be
if
I
didn't
have
the
library
to
go
to
or
to
depend
upon
or
leaned
upon
and
I.
Thank
you
very
much
great.
R
No
I'm,
Barbara,
Bronson
and
I
live
right
around
the
corner
here
on
Noyes
and
when
I
grew
up
here
in
Evanston,
the
library
was
like
the
Carlson
building
across
the
street
and
they
built
a
very
nice
new
building.
Now
I,
don't
understand
they,
where
they're
going
to
put
things
when
they
move
I
guess
the
first
floor
is
going
to
be
up
on
the
second
floor.
Well,
they
work
on
that
and
the
second
floor
will
come
down
to
the
first
floor
and
join
them.
While
they
work
on
that.
R
Where
do
all
the
books
go
when
they're
doing
is?
Where
does
anything
fit
in
now,
when
they
try
to
work
on
it
and
I
have
little
things
like
I'm
at
the
levy,
Senior
Center
and
there's
a
man
who
shows
films,
foreign
films,
all
the
time
he
picks
the
DVDs
up
here
at
the
library,
and
we
have
to
keep
continuing
things
like
that.
They
have
to
be
able
to
get
in
there.
So
don't
close
it
up.
Thanks
Thank.
S
S
It's
what
it
looks
like
to
some
citizens.
I've
used
the
the
passport
service
after
7:00
p.m.
it's
very
convenient
there's
nowhere
else.
You
can
go
so
I'm
asking
you
for
an
equitable
cut,
so
the
clerk's
office
we
elected
him.
We
elected
him
because
there's
certain
things
that
we
would
like
him
to
accomplish
he's
not
going
to
be
able
to
accomplish
that
with
this
kind
of
a
cut.
S
So
also
I
would
ask
you
to
follow
the
what
the
plan
Commission
has
recommended
with
601
Davis
601
Davis
is
not
going
to
give
this
city
the
kind
of
housing
that
we
need,
which
was
moderately
priced
housing
for
families
and
I'd,
also
like
to
say,
I
don't
enjoy
getting
up
here.
Speaking
I
worked
from
home
today,
I
had
to
come
out
clean,
my
car
off
of
snow.
My
teenager
got
her
own
dinner.
I
have
anxiety
every
time
before
I
stand
up
here,
and
so
it's
not
we're
not
doing
this
because
we
enjoy
it.
S
T
I
think
he
wanted
to
expand
the
functions
of
the
clerk's
office
and
in
order
to
do
that,
he
needs
a
reasonable
amount
of
funds.
So
I
urge
you
again
to
restore
the
budget
that
would
have
existed
if
it
was
only
4%.
This
is
a
very
important
office
for
the
city.
I
think
people
supported
a
clerk
read
and
when
he
ran
because
they
wanted
to
see
more
of
this
kind
of
activity,
it's
a
change,
but
it's
a
change.
T
U
U
U
So
please,
your
vote
tonight
really
matters
in
we're
watching.
Secondly,
another
asset-
all
of
us
in
regard
to
access
to
information,
is
our
Public
Library.
In
regard
to
the
public
library.
I
would
say
that
if
we
want
to
be
all
about
equity,
the
library
is
a
service
that
is
available
to
all
of
an
Evanston
citizens.
It's
a
place
where
anyone
is
welcome.
The
librarians,
don't
always
aren't
always
within
the
four
walls
of
the
library
itself,
but
they
are
out
in
the
community.
U
V
Good
evening
everybody
unban
joseffer
1510
Greenwood
first
I
want
to
do
my
personal,
thank
you
for
Nikki,
Foss
and
Mary
Lyons
for
what
they
did
here,
any
committee
that
had
both
of
them.
They
could
take
the
most
boring
subject
in
the
world
and
make
it
the
most
interesting
more
fun
than
watching
most
things
on
TV.
We
do
have
a
street
already
called
Lions
same
spelling.
Maybe
we
could
you
have
a
street
name
Foss
now
for
the
realism
here
today.
V
V
Cta
has
total
left
communication
didn't
communicate
when
they
changed
the
schedule
on
93
they
still
after
forum
coming
on
48
years,
I'm
sorry
46
have
not
been
able
to
post
bus
stops
in
Evanston
for
the
bus
routes
have
a
piece
garage
on
Oakton
at
the
only
and
the
only
vertical
spied
is
disgust
supported
route
297,
CTA
Skokie.
Why
is
service
and
Evanston
Skokie,
which
is
suburban
handled
by
CTA
and
CTA?
V
Does
not
even
have
a
lease,
and
last
time
we
had
somebody
at
the
tendon
was
hearing
Hirsch,
who
is
a
general
manager
and
the
reason
he
attended
because
he
lived
here
in
Evanston
since
there
is
nobody
signed
anything
where
space
has
a
liaison
that
comes
to
things
and
is
available
and
gets
things
done.
Why
are
we
continuing
with
CTA
here
and
I
asked
at
the
mayor
or
a
city
manager
looking
to
changing
the
service
here
to
place
for
a
CTA?
Thank
you.
W
W
Speaking
on
their
behalf,
it's
with
the
full
knowledge
that
it's
a
two-way
street
we've
paid
our
taxes
so
that
the
people
who
matter
to
us
can
help
us
and
that
we
matter
to
them.
I,
do
hear
the
frustration
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
sort
of
the
peace
Nick
type
that
wants
to
look
at
something
that
unifies
everybody
on
realizing,
why
these
changes
are
being
asked
for
individually
and
sometimes
in
very
fragmented
ways.
W
I've
discussed
with
people
to
be
very
kind
in
terms
of
approaching
people
when
you
want
solutions,
because
people
are
really
frustrated
so
including
myself.
So
what
I'm
saying
is
that
I
think
we
should
go
back
to
goals
and
I
mentioned
it
to
Eleanor
she's
great,
because
she
had
10
minutes
and
then
we
did
the
world
together
in
terms
of
the
goals
which
I
don't
know.
W
If
people,
if
it's
been
published,
I
just
saw
the
little
Flyers
downstairs,
but
I
don't
see
them
anywhere
else
and
I
don't
see
it
on
the
website,
but,
like
I
mentioned
last
time,
the
goals
I
think
we'd
unify
everybody
and
I
think
it
would
get
some
of
the
issues
out
front
so
that
when
we
have
discussions,
people
will
be
heard,
because
both
sides
will
be
to
be
talking
not
one
side.
One
meeting
one
side,
the
other
meeting
or
something
spoken
before
that
should
be
spoken
afterwards.
W
So
I'd
like
to
see
continuity
in
those
kinds
of
discussions,
and
also
that
that's
recognized
in
the
discussions
by
the
city
manager
to
the
citizens
that
he
serves
in
terms
of
these
goals.
They
should
be
measurable
and
they
should
include
social
aspects
and
right
now,
like
I
said
last
time,
the
only
social
goal
was
at-risk
families
and
the
rest
of
it.
You
know,
economic
development
is
one
thing,
but
what
is
Community
Development
and
why
shouldn't
community
development
or
social
economic
development
is
what
they
call
be
part
of
it.
W
Why
shouldn't
social
impact
investing
be
part
of
it?
Instead
of
talking
about
charity?
Why
don't
we
talk
about
investing
in
people?
I?
Think
we
need
to
change
the
nature
of
the
conversation
based
on
how
we
perceive
our
goals.
Last
but
not
least,
the
library
is
totally
important.
I
told
I
support
social
services
that
anything
that
helps
people
with
opportunities
to
live
their
lives
and
are
very
happy
which
translates
to
healthy.
W
When
you
get
into
these
alternative
forms
of
medicine
which
are
are
coming
to
the
fore,
we
could
use
better
integration
with
Northwestern
in
terms
of
finding
other
ways
of
helping
people
with
regard
to
health
and
realize
that
what
we
have
as
a
plan
for
the
city
actually
is
for
our
health
and
well-being.
So
maybe
well-being
could
be
one
of
the
goals,
because
if
we
have
a
livable
city,
that's
not
the
same
as
having
a
city
that
produces
well-being
for
everybody
during.
F
W
Then,
okay,
les
lawyers
and
more
social
workers,
because
I
see
that
there's
lawsuits
all
the
time
and
if
you
treat
people
fairly
and
kindly
and
they
are
heard,
there's
less
likely.
As
you
know,
people
people
are
great
and
if
you
get
my
chance,
even
the
people
who
seem
to
be
their
activists
are
really
great,
they're
doing
it
from
their
hearts
and
I.
Don't
want
to
hear
the
word
charity
when
you
talk
about
people
our
need,
we
should
talk
about
them
as
investments.
Just
like
we
talked
about
our
businesses,
so.
X
Hi
I'm
Diane
from
the
seventh
Ward
and,
as
we
know,
Evanston
has
a
national
reputation
for
being
a
pretty
progressive
place
and
that's
one
reason
why
I
put
on
my
walking
shoes
in
the
last
election
cycle
and
got
to
work
working
for
davon
Reed
among
other
progressives
in
Evanston
and
glad
he
made
it
to
City
Council
year,
but
I'm
really
bummed
to
hear
about
this
35%
decrease
in
his
office
funding
and
it
will
be
the
lowest
funded
clerk's
office
in
the
state
of
Illinois
and
I.
Think
that's
really
bad
for
our
so-called
progressive
record.
X
That
does
show
us
pretty
bad.
How
come
other
offices
are
only
getting
a
4%
cut,
but
his
office
is
nine
times
greater
than
that.
Now
this
made
me
stand
up
and
think
a
little
bit
I
did
a
lot
of
walking
for
Devon
and
when
I
talked
to
voters
and
knocked
on
their
doors
and
talked
about
his
plans,
there
were
two
major
plans
and
they
got.
They
really
picked
up
on
his
name
and
wanted
to
vote
for
him
because
of
those
two
plans
and
one
of
them
was
implementing
a.
X
City
Clerk's
office,
specifically
because
they
wanted
a
legislative
tracker
implemented,
so
they
would
have
the
electoral
engagement
needed
to
have
a
handle
on
how
our
aldermen
are
voting.
They
want
this
more
direct
open,
transparent
process.
This
was
the
most
important
issue
regarding
their
vote
and
he
got
66
percent
and
we're
in
a
special
moment
right
now
of
electoral
activism
nationally,
as
well
as
locally
and
demand
for
greater
constituent
engagement
and
participation.
So
this
report
for
this
legislator
tracker
was
very
key
to
getting
given
an
office.
X
The
second
thing
that
they
were
very
interested
in
is
also
the
implementation
of
plans
to
increase
voter
participation,
a
program
to
implement,
through
an
analytic
study
of
the
Evanston
poplar
populus,
to
measure
civic
engagement.
Those
two
were
absolutely
necessary
and
not
things
normally
associated
with
the
clerk's
office.
The
plans
are
the
fund.
The
clerk's
office
by
35
percent
is
going
to
really
inhibit
his
ability
to
put
those
two
functions
into
action,
and
those
were
the
reasons
why
he
was
voted
into
office.
X
I
vote
for
him
to
have
a
four
percent
decrease,
would
show
a
more
transparent
and
democratic
and
progressive
consideration
by
the
City
Council
of
the
necessity
for
why
he
was
put
in
office.
What
a
vote
for
the
35%
decrease
cannot
but
be
seen
as
a
politically
motivated
action
to
not
be
able
to
have
him
fulfill
those
functions
that
he
was
elected
for
we'll
be
watching
closely
tonight,
which
alderman
will
be
voting
for
the
five
thirty
five
percent
decrease
and
which
will
keep
it
at
four
and
we're
going
to
keep
score
on.

Hi
there
Chuck
watt
surberg
nine
away
Greenwood.
A
lot
of
people
have
already
spoken
about
this,
so
I'll,
be
brief.
I
do
want
to
register
my
deep
concern
about
this
disproportionate
cut
to
Devon
Reed's
office.
Mr.
Reed
was
elected
with
a
mandate.
He
was
elected
by
a
majority
of
the
people
here
in
Evanston
and
he
hasn't
he
so
he's
got
a
job
to
do
and
I
think
that
cut
would
make
it
very
difficult
for
him
to
do
his
job.
So
I
just
ask
you
to
reconsider
that
and
thank
you.
Z
My
name
is
Errol.
Children
continue
to
be
amazed
about
the
job
that
the
director
Karen
Danzig
Lyons,
is
doing
with
the
Everson
Public
Library
she's
continually
continually
expanding
in
improving
services.
If
you
approve
the
requested
budget,
it
will
be
money
well
spent.
The
other
other
topic
I'm
going
to
talk
about
are
the
agendas.
I
have
two
copies
of
the
agenda.
Both
are
incomplete
and
neither
one
is
up-to-date.
The
gold
copy
is
sitting
out
there
on
the
table
for
people
who
refer
to
the
white
copy

for
having
me
tonight.
My
name
is
Kim
Han
Mary
Harrogate.
He
did
it
right:
I'm,
first-time
attendee,
attendee
of
the
City
Council
meeting
and
I'm
very
thrilled
to
be
here
and
I'm
being
a
very
good
education,
I
believe
in
education,
I
live
in
the
Third
Ward
with
Melissa
went.
Unfortunately,
I
don't
see
her
here,
but
I
understand.
There
was
a
long
time
absence
that
was
planned.
AA
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
suggestion:
a
proposal
about
the
site:
that's
vacant
right
now:
police,
the
old
Whole,
Foods,
Market
location,
bordered
on
the
south
by
Greenleaf,
on
the
north,
by
Hamilton,
on
the
west,
by
Chicago
and
on
the
east
by
Hinman
I'm,
not
against
the
binney's
proposal,
but
I
am
for
something
else.
AA
So
what
is
that
it
goes
along
with
my
interest
in
sustainable
agriculture,
since
I
have
a
background
in
biology,
so
I
I
would
suggest
I
be
a
Learning
Lab
or
greenhouse
or
a
farmers
market
or
a
combination
of
all
three
I
know.
This
is
not
really
a
topical
at
the
moment,
but
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there
just
to
use
my
time
wisely
tonight.
Well,
thank
you.
Everyone
thank.

AB
Name
is
Doug
sharp
I'm,
a
man
reclaim
Evanston
and
a
resident
of
the
Ninth
Ward
davon
Reed
ran
a
campaign
with
the
promise
to
focus
the
clerk's
office
on
transparent
government
and
fair
and
well-run
elections.
Cutting
the
clerk's
budget
by
35%
would
be
a
drastic
reduction
in
that
vision
and
wrong
budgets
say
what
our
values
are.
As
a
city,
Evanston
voters
may
clear
what
their
values
are
by
electing
clerk
read.
AB
B
AC
Clark
Reed
showed
that
it
was
possible
to
take
the
progressive
vision
and
values
that
we
share
and
take
you
into
the
halls
of
power
here
at
Evanston,
City
Hall,
so
cutting
the
Clarks
budget
is
cut,
cutting
back
on
that
vision,
and
it's
telling
me
and
all
of
the
other
people
involved
and
excited
by
his
Candice's
kandacy
and
his
election,
that
there
isn't
a
place
for
that
vision
in
the
City
Hall
or
in
this
council.
We
urge
you
to
vote
to
restore
his
budget
to
affirm
that
vision.
Thank
you
great.
AD
AD
Previously
I
was
a
tech
trainer
for
the
Evanston
Public,
Library
and
I
was
responsible
of
going
out
in
the
city
and
teaching
people
how
to
use
their
computers
and
handheld
devices.
During
most
of
those
interactions,
people
were
grateful
to
the
library
because
they
offer
these
services
in
Spanish
because
it
allowed
them
to
gain
skills
that
would
provide
them
with
better
opportunities,
further
set
for
themselves
and
their
families,
but
they
couldn't
quite
say
the
same
for
the
city.
AD
AD
Most
recently
in
the
welcoming
city
ordinance
states
that
the
City
Council
wishes
to
further
enhance
the
city's
relationships
with
immigrant
communities
and
make
the
city
of
Evanston
and
immigrant
friendly
City
the
ordinance
sought
to
promote
the
general
welfare
of
the
city
of
Evanston
residents
and
visitors
alike.
At
face
value.
This
can
be
argued
that
it's,
it
was
passed
to
ensure
that
people
felt
welcomed
here
from
prosecution
from
law
enforcement
agencies.
AD
However,
it
stretches
far
beyond
that
for
the
Latino
communities,
one
of
the
important
factors
of
the
ordinance
is
the
general
welfare
which
could
be
summarized
as
the
support
supporting
the
health
happiness
and
fortune
affecting
a
person
or
group.
By
this
definition.
It
is
the
responsibility
of
the
city
to
provide
further
support
to
the
Latino
community
by
granting
them
better
access
to
information
and
resources.
One
of
the
things
that
the
City
Clerk's
office
wants
to
do
is
translate
documents
into
Spanish
for
the
City,
Council
and
standing
committees.
AD
This
will
allow
residents
that
speak
Spanish
to
further
engage
with
the
city
and
be
more
involved.
Thomas
Jefferson
once
said
that
an
informed
citizenry
is
at
the
heart
of
a
dynamic
democracy,
and
by
this
notion
we
have
a
responsibility
to
the
Latino
community
to
provide
them
with
better
understanding
on
how
their
local
governments
work.
Secondly,
I
would
like
to
request
and
I
be
allowed
to
act
as
a
liaison
between
the
city
departments
and
our
spanish-speaking
residents.
AD
There's
been
numerous
times,
typically
two
to
three
times
a
day
where
people
come
up
to
me,
asking
me
for
translation
services
and
other
departments,
because
they
can't
find
someone
that
speaks
the
language
I
do
this
out
of
the
kindness
of
my
heart,
because
I
wish.
Someone
would
do
that
for
my
mother
when
she
was
in
these
situations,
Patricia
affion,
the
department
coordinator,
stated
that
we
need
to
do
better
for
these
people.
We
to
stop
doing
a
surveys
and
research.
We
need
to
act
and
implement
policies.
One
of
your
colleagues.
AB
AD
F
B
Right,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
everybody
for
coming
out
and
sharing
your
thoughts
and
your
perspectives
with
the
City
Council
on
a
variety
of
issues.
We're
now
going
to
turn
to
back
to
the
agenda.
We've
got
three
special
orders
of
business
this
evening
and
we
have
sp1
and,
and
let's
see,
is
Alderman
Rainey.
Could
you
just
present
sp1
to
the
council.
AE
AE
AE
This
is
revised
in
the
amount
of
six
six
million,
seven
hundred
sixty
one
thousand
six
hundred
and
sixty
eight
dollars
as
extended.
This
represents
an
increase
of
5.1%
over
the
2016
levy
of
six
million,
four
hundred
and
twelve
thousand
six
hundred
and
ten
dollars
as
extended.
This
is
for
action
this
evening.
Second,.
I
Thank
you
to
the
speakers
who
came
out.
I'm
just
want
to
clarify
something.
Cuz
I
I
think
was
the
first
one
last
week
who
spoke
and
not
in
support
so
not
to
be
long-winded,
but
there's
a
the
council
has
some
responsibilities
financially,
but
we
also
have
some
limited
responsibilities
with
the
way
that
the
library
is
governed,
which
is
Illinois
law
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
some
and
it's
not
my
desire
to
shut
down
the
library,
I
I
have
children
who
go
to
the
library
I
serve
the
homeless
population.
I
They
spend
a
lot
of
time
at
the
library.
I
can
appreciate
the
library.
The
point
I
have
tried
to
communicate
is
that
we
have
a
budget
deficit,
that
you
know
we
have
a
budget
deficit
and
in
doing
that,
man,
it's
my
responsibility
to
make
what
I
believe
are
kind
of
conservative
financial
choices
because
I,
like
all
of
the
people
in
this
room
where
my
taxes
to
go
up
I,
don't
want
people
to
be
displaced,
and
so
in
doing
that
I
have
to
factor
everything.
I
So,
as
you
all
have
talked
about,
we've
had
budgets,
I
mean
had
departments
make
a
4%
cut
and
although
the
library
is
not
a
department,
I
was
hopeful
that
they
would
also
make
a
cut,
not
a
cut.
That
necessarily
is
going
to
impact
the
services,
but
a
cut
that
is
going
to
help
all
of
the
residents
to
remain
in
Evanston
and
not
be
financially
burdened,
and
so
that
was
my
concern.
I
know,
I
did
speak
of
the
capital
project,
which
is
not
on
the
agenda
tonight.
I
I
understand
that,
but
for
me
we're
talking
finances
and
so
I
like
to
talk
about
all
the
finances,
so
so
I
wanted
to
just
give
that
kind
of
explanation
for
people
who
might
be
thinking
I,
just
you
know,
hate
the
library
that
said
I
am
I.
Do
appreciate
that
the
increase
has
gone
down.
I
think
it
was
like
8%
last
time
to
now
5%,
so
I
do
appreciate
that
I.
I
I
You
know,
consultants
are
fine
people,
however,
in
this
budget
deficit,
I
would
have
liked
to
see
cuts
to
things
like
that.
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
what
the
consultants
do
or
don't
do.
I
know,
there's
an
equity
audit,
that's
starting
and
I
hope
that's
beneficial,
and
you
know
the
some
services
are
changed
to
accommodate
with
the
consultant.
Fines,
but
I
would
have
liked
to
see
some
more
cuts.
I
AG
Good
evening
Mary
Hegarty
clerk
read
members
of
the
city
council,
city
manager,
Bob
coats,
Karen,
Danzig,
Lyons,
your
library
director.
After
the
last
time,
we
were
together
at
the
City
Council
I'm
asking
for
you,
you're,
asking
the
library
to
reconsider
what
we
were
asking
are
in
our
budget
and
also
with
questions
about
the
capital
plans.
AG
We
had
a
special
meeting
on
December
7th
and
I,
made
recommendations
to
the
board
that
were
difficult
to
make,
but
which
removed
two
expansions
of
service
that
we
had
included
originally
in
the
operating
budget
for
three
years,
I've
been
trying
to
find
a
funder
or
a
grant
to
allow
us
to
bring
it
on
in
to
service
mobile
library
van.
So
it's
not
a
bookmobile.
It's
not
a
bus.
AG
It's
a
mobile
library,
van
and
I'm,
hoping
that
some
generous
benefactor
may
still
come
forward
to
help
us
with
the
$155,000
cost
of
that
van
to
make
it
a
reality.
The
other
reduction,
the
other
elimination
in
this
proposal
before
you
tonight
was
the
elimination,
the
second
library
lending
machine
which
would
be
installed
in
st.
Francis
Hospital
to
bring
some
additional
access
to
books
and
materials
to
the
residents.
Conveniently
in
that
ward
and
most
of
the
increase
that
isn't
included
in
what
is
before
you
as
a
result
of
the
Avenue
negotiations,
we
have.
AG
Two
thirds
of
our
staff
are
part-time,
so
we
save
every
year
by
not
paying
full
benefits
and
full
pensions,
and
our
staff
works
hard.
They
all
work
hard.
They
deserve
the
raise
that
was
negotiated
on
behalf
of
them.
In
addition,
we've
indexed
the
the
payment
to
the
city,
because
our
city
colleagues
assist
the
library
and
that
had
been
at
$250,000.
AG
Now
it's
indexed
to
the
ASME
contract.
So
every
year
we
will
know
what
that
increases
could
be
because
they
had
raised
this
as
well
as
Alderman
Fleming
mentioned.
There
is
an
increase
in
the
consulting
and
I
recommended
that
that
remain
in
for
the
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion
consultant
who's
beginning
with
us
tomorrow,
it
was
difficult
to
decide
to
not
expand
some
services
that
I
think
strategically.
It
will
be
a
great
addition
to
the
tools
that
we
have,
but
we
need
to
maintain
with
this
library
service
that
we
have.
AG
We
need
to
be
smarter
and
strategic
about
what
we're
doing,
and
we
will
report
back
to
you
on
the
results
of
our
work
with
the
ETI
audit,
to
show
you
what
we're
doing,
how
we're
doing
it
and
how
we
hope
to
move.
The
needle
I
also
have
with
me
this
evening
the
architects
who
are
happy
to
come
up
and
share
some
highlights
with
you.
Some
brief
highlights
about
the
main
library
renovation.
K
K
K
AH
Thank
you,
so
the
library
I
think
everyone
here
agrees
is
very
important
to
our
community
and
you're
serving
returning
citizens.
The
homeless
community,
financially
insecure
startup
businesses
hurt
from
a
personal
experience.
The
library
was
there
to
support
me.
Many
years
ago,
early
in
business
and
I
had
to
choose
between
me
and
my
liability
insurance
or
buying
a
new
copier
and
so
I
went
into
the
library
and
I
used
the
copy
machine
there.
AH
When
my
children
were
preparing
for
a
CT
prep,
the
library
was
there
getting
the
a
CT
books
that
I
needed
that
were
unaffordable,
otherwise,
so
that
they
could
prepare
for
testing.
The
library
is
been
has
been
a
great
partner
to
me,
as
I
have
transitioned
into
this
role
as
Alderman.
Every
time
that
I've
reached
out
to
the
library
for
any
sort
of
support,
the
library
and
karen
has
been
absolutely
responsive.
When
the
mobile
bookmobile
was
going
to
the
library
and
I
said:
hey,
we
don't
have
any
services
in
the
fifth
Ward.
AH
Can
you
make
that
happen?
Somehow
she
made
it
happen
when
it
was
its
first
launch
and
it
was
on
a
national
tour
and
it
was
thought
to
be
impossible.
You
made
it
happen
when
we
were
out
of
books
for
the
free
little
libraries
ended
up
with
100
books
on
my
doorstep,
so
that
I
could
fill
them
you're
serving
over
the
rainbow
where
they
are
not
having
fair
access
to
a
lot
of
amenities
here
in
town.
AH
It's
very
important
in
addition
to
that,
I
think
that
the
thoughtfulness
of
the
book
van
or
the
library
van
was
really
a
important
answer
to
what
has
been
the
most
criticism
that
that
you
know
the
library
is
an
equitable.
We
don't
have
access,
and
so
I
am
very
disappointed
to
see
that
that
is
what
is
being
cut,
because
it
was
something
absolutely
to
look
forward
to
having
access
in
in
parts
of
town
that
have
been
asking
for
it.
AH
So
I'm
thankful
that
you
included
that,
and
you
heard
the
residents
of
the
city
but
I'm
disappointed
to
see
that
that
that
is
being
eliminated.
So
I
actually
was
prepared
to
vote
in
support
of
the
library
as
it
was
originally
proposed,
because
I
believe
that
it
was
thoughtful
and
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do
at
this
time.
AH
So
I
don't
know
if
we
can
somehow
discuss
putting
back
in
the
mobile
van
at
this
point,
if
not,
if
I
can
and
I
appreciate
the
commitment
of
working
towards
finding
a
donor
or
some
sort
of
opportunity
to
still
move
forward
with
the
mobile
library
option.
But
is
that
something
that
can
be
discussed
at
this
point?.
B
AH
AE
When
I
saw
that
you
had
reduced
the
budget,
I
was
thrilled
and
then
I
saw
what
you
did.
I
thought
this
is
you,
and
you
stated
this
was
your
recommendation-
that
you
use
the
mobile
van
and
the
vending
machine
as
the
reductions
and
then
you're
telling
us
tonight.
You
did
that
because
they
were,
they
were
additions
and
then
you're
telling
us
that
you
kept
in
the
additions
of
the
of
the
consultants
we
have
and
we've
hired
an
equity
and
empowerment
person.
Can't
we
loan
her
to
the
library
for
some
services.
AE
That's
what
I
would
do
you
need
to
cut
the
consultant,
that's
what
you
need
to
do,
and
I
am
NOT
going
to
say.
I
am
I
was
just
so
disheartened
when
I
saw
that
you
did
this
and
knowing
some
of
the
people
on
your
library
board
that
they
allowed
for
you
to
do
this
when
that
was
truly
an
effort
to
reach
out
to
the
community,
because
no
one
is
more
against
library,
branches,
branches
than
I
I.
Think
the
idea
of
the
library
at
the
Crown
Center
is
fine.
AE
You
have
these
marvelous
donors
or
giving
so
much
money
to
make
that
happen.
God
forbid
anybody
should
prevent
that,
but
that
you
have
library
board
members
that
allowed
for
this
cut
when
it
was.
It
was
really
an
effort
to
reach
out
I
just
I.
Just
am
so
surprised
that
this
happened
and
I
I
can't
do
anything
about
changing
that,
but
I
can
voice
my
objection
by
voting
against
this
budget
and
I'm.
So
sad
that
I'm
gonna
do
that.
AE
B
Thank
thank
you
all
alderman
Rainey,
so
alderman
fist,
kid
I
mentioned
earlier
wanting
to
hear
from
the
architects.
Let
me
just
ask
a
question.
The
whole
council
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
conversation
that
we
need
to
have
it
that,
as
we
go
into
the
new
year
in
2018
about
our
capital
plans,
particularly
those
that
are
outside
of
the
normal
capital
that
we're
doing
with
the
water
system
in
the
utilities
we
have.
B
You
know
a
new
Crown
Center
community
center,
the
the
Council
of
like
to
deliver
and
the
library
has
plans
for
what
they
would
like
to
do
with
renovations.
My
suggestion
would
be
that
we
take
have
a
specific
conversation
about
the
library's
plans
for
there,
their
capital,
where
we
have
an
adequate
amount
of
time,
and
not
all
the
other
items
that
we
have
on
our
agenda
tonight
to
have
that
kind
of
conversation,
as
a
council
I
think.
K
B
I
think
I
think
what
we
can
do
is
we
can.
We
can
basically
vote
well.
This
is
SB,
1
is
for
action.
It
has
been
moved
and
seconded
okay,
I
think
we
can
take
a
vote
on
that.
Then.
What
we're
sort
of
indicating
to
the
library
is.
We
want
to
have
a
conversation
as
a
council
about
the
capital
budget,
not
just
for
the
library
but
other
big
projects
that
we're
gonna
have
here
in
Evanston
and
where
the
priorities
are
and
do
that
in
2018.
This
budget,
as
I
understand
it
and
you
correct
mr.
B
K
B
K
AG
K
The
difference-
and
you
know
folks,
keep
telling
me
I-
don't
understand
that
I
absolutely
understand
that,
but
my
concern
is
that
and
I
need
to
be
reassured
that
there's
not
money
in
in
the
operating
budget
that
is
going
in
any
way
toward
the
capital
plan
until
we've
had
a
chance
to
discuss
the
capital
plan,
there's
no
additional
capital
money
in
this
budget.
A
no
planning,
no
architects
fees,
no,
no!
Nothing!
There.
B
R
A
B
AE
M
A
Know
hi
didn't
do
that.
That's
you
all
right,
so
I
just
want
to
start
off
with
presenting
the
difference
in
the
budget
that
was
presented
and
where
I
am.
You
know,
I
thought
that
early
on
in
the
process,
I
would
be
brought
in
to
some
of
the
budget
discussions
and
we
did
have
discussions
with
the
budgeting,
but
most
of
the
recommend
ain't.
All
of
the
recommendations
that
I
made
were
not
included
in
what
was
presented.
A
So
the
difference
here
is
the
regular
pay
between
the
managers
presented.
Budget
and
mine
is
mine,
is
at
181
thousand
dollars
for
regular
pay
and
it's
fairly
straightforward
there
$26,000
that
would
allow
us
to
purchase
the
software
for
the
legislation
tracker
tracker.
That
number
also
includes
our
codification
services.
Office
supplies
remains
the
same
election
supplies
increases.
A
This
will
allow
us
to
one
purchase,
a
software
that
will
give
us
a
voter
list
as
well
as
as
well
as
allows
some
staff
to
do
outreach
during
elections
and
training
travel
also
is
increased
by
a
thousand
dollars
I'm
compared
with
the
manager's
budget.
That
includes
training
for
both
at
the
deputy
clerk
and
I
and
going
through
the
municipal
clerks
League,
so
a
bit
about
what
the
office
does
and
and
where
we
hope
to
create
a
differences.
We
currently
produce
the
minutes
for
all
regular
council
meetings.
A
You
are
aware
that
one
thing
that
has
changed
is
that
we
now
link
to
the
video
which
makes
the
the
record
more
accessible
and
allows
folks
to
watch
directly
what
happened
during
a
council
meeting.
We
also
hope
to
link
directly
to
documents
and
that's
somewhat
time,
consuming
work.
Without
software
we
are
hoping
to
improve
accessibility
of
city
records.
A
The
historical
archive
the
office
is
chock-full
of
great
historical
records,
photos
and
other
archives
that
we
want
to
make
sure
out
and
available
to
the
to
the
public.
We
have
had
a
few
months
ago
a
very
brief
discussion
with,
or
we
had
a
meeting
with
director
lines
as
well
as
shorefront
to
begin
that
discussion
and
then,
as
well
as
to
creating
the
legislation
tracking
portal,
which
would
allow
residents
to
more
fully
track
legislation
as
it
moves
through
the
committee's
any
edits
that
have
been
made.
A
K
A
So
one
of
the
most
interesting
things
that
I'm
hoping
to
share
with
the
Library
of
shorefront
is
we
have
phone
books
from
from
the
1800s
in
the
early
1900s
in
the
office.
That
I
think
are,
could
be
of
interest
to
the
community
and
could
be
of
interest
of
historians,
and
so
those
kinds
of
records
I
want
to
make
sure
are
well.
F
A
About
this
elections
of
civic
engagement,
we
plan
to
do
mobile,
voter
registration.
Prior
to
my
taking
office.
We
did
devote
a
registration,
but
only
in
office.
We
hope
to
have
been
building
partnerships
and
connections
with
with
groups
like
Kurt's,
cafe
and
other
local
nonprofits
to
make
sure
that
their
residents
are
registered
to
vote
that
they're,
the
population
that
they
serve
is
registered
to
vote.
We've
built
a
partnership
with
V
PAC
and
the
league
alone
voters
a
number
of
other
local
organizations
to
help
achieve
that
mission.
A
We
hope
to
increase
off
year
election
turnout
to
60%
or
higher,
that
is
in
line
with
the
star
cities
rating
and
the
star
cities
outline.
So
we
hope
to
achieve
that
mission.
What
we
will
do
is
we'll
specifically
we'll
use
our
software
that
we
purchased
to
directly
reach
out
to
folks
who
aren't
traditionally
voting
in
elections,
as
many
of
you
know,
on
campaigns,
campaigns
typically
reach
out
only
to
the
folks
who
consistently
vote
in
elections,
and
we
want
to
reach
out
specifically
to
the
folks
who
are
not
regularly
participating
in
off
your
elections.
A
And
you
know,
studies
show
that
the
best
way
to
get
someone
out
to
vote
is
having
a
one-on-one
conversation
and
part
of
the
need
is
to
have
the
capacity
to
organize
not
only
staff
internally
in
my
office
but
volunteers
to
to
achieve
that
in
a
non-partisan
way,
as
well
as
creating
a
voter
guide.
Now
we
were
working
with
HHS
with
a
Nicole
Parker,
the
civics
chair,
to
create
a
civics
curriculum
before
taking
office.
I
did
you
know,
I
worked.
A
A
giant
did
some
work
with
Chicago
votes
at
John
Hancock
high
school
teaching
civics
with
with
a
civics
teacher
I
hope
to
bring
that
here
to
have
instant
to
get
our
young
folks
involved
in
civics
in
voting,
we've
also
were
working
with
the
County
Clerk's
office
to
see
if
we
can
bring
a
pop
up
early
voting
site
to
et
HS
and
dr.
Witherspoon
has
been
on
board
with
that.
We're
also
looking
into
bringing
participatory
budgeting
to
e
th
s
and
helping
the
school
run.
A
That
process,
which
will
again
create
a
great
civics
education,
creating
the
next
generation
of
voters
and
then
we're
responsible
for
managing
our
local
elections.
Now,
for
ian's
transparency
with
floyd,
we
process
all
requests.
We
will
continue
as
the
Open
Meetings
Act
doesn't
mean
hoping
to
keep
compliance
with
all
committees.
We
assist
residents
with
filing
and
narrowing
accessing
FOIAs.
The
office
is
responsible
for
redactions
and
we
plan
to
take
that
responsibility
on
more,
which
will
create
a
larger
responsibility
for
the
office
and
we'll
continue
participation
in
the
open
data
governance
team.
A
Other
services
that
the
office
handles
are
handicapped
placards,
as
Eduardo
mentioned
several
times
a
day
since
he
started,
he
is
called
a
way
to
help
translate
even
the
collector's
office,
because
on
the
first
floor,
we
do
not
have
someone
bilingual
available
as
well
as
a
number
of
times
he's
had
to
come
up
here
to
hearings
and
I
believe
one
day
he
had
to
translate
for
it
quite
a
long
time.
A
hearing
for
a
gentleman
will
continue
to
serve.
You
know
on
the
board
of
local
improvements.
A
We
are
working,
we're
hoping
that
passports
can
be
moved
to
the
office
back
to
the
office,
which
would
the
office
is
open
until
seven
o'clock,
which
would
allow
residents
to
more
fully
access
passport
services.
You
know
that
currently,
the
passport
services
close
at
4:30
and
many
parents
have
come
during
the
lunch
break
of
the
passport
personally
have
now
and
somewhat
livid
that
they
had
to
pull
their
kids
out
of
school
during
lunch
and
folks
aren't
available
or
just
the
fact
they
have
to
pull
their
kids
out
of
school.
AE
N
A
A
AE
The
process
do
you
want
to
make
a
comment
on
translation
services
out
of
the
clerk's
office?
Sure
we
know
that
we
have
had
some
real
serious
criticism
by
some
professional
translators
regarding
translation
services
at
the
city
and
I
think
we
should
be
very
careful,
maybe,
for
example,
going
over
to
the
collector's
office
doing
some
translation.
Verbal
is
okay,
but
I
think
going
much
beyond
that.
G
C
N
C
A
So
good
the
I
guess
I
have
to
explain
it
bit
further,
but
you
know
before
taking
office,
there's
an
understanding
that,
within
a
month
of
my
taking
office,
I'd
be
able
to
swap
out
one
deputy
clerk
and
hire
a
deputy
clerk.
The
the
application
and
the
interview
process
didn't
the
application,
didn't
go
out
until
leave
late,
August
and
interview
and
didn't
start
until
September.
A
The
deal
was
that
we
move
passports
and
real
estate
transfer
stamps
over
to
the
collector's
office
and
be
able
to
immediately
hire
a
new
staff.
Member
and
my
question
was
you
know:
are
there
services
that
I
believe
more
aligned
with
the
mission
of
my
mission
and
the
office
that
we
could
bring
over,
and
that
was
either
vital
statistics
or
property
tax
of
pills,
and
you
know
vital
statistics
to
get
into
it.
A
G
E
A
I
did
agree
to
have
passports,
I
moved
out,
I
believe
with
without
those
other
services
being
ported
over
to
the
clerk's
office,
and
since
real
estate
transfer
stamps
is
also
gone.
And
now
mail
is
gone,
I'm
willing
to
take
passports
back
it's
especially
because
we're
open
until
7
and
I
think
it's
a
great
service
to
the
community
to
have
that
be
accessible
until
7:00
o'clock.
One.
G
And
I've
used
the
passport
services,
so
I
I
think
it's
a
great
surface
to,
but
the
issue
part
of
the
issue
is
that
we
now
have
other
people
in
the
city
doing
a
lot
of
this
work,
so
we're
paying
other
people
another
department,
so
I,
which
which
it's
just
the
fact
of
the
matter.
So
your
pay
is
not
being
cut.
Actually,
that's
something
I've
heard
from
of
a
handful
of
people
that
they
thought
we're,
cutting
your
pay
and
we're
not
cutting
your
pay.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
clear
and
I
know.
G
A
May
I
make
a
note
to
the
point
you
just
made
regarding
so
there
there
is
no
net
increase
of
positions
in
the
collector's
office,
while
those
services
did
move
over.
There
was
a
vacancy
in
the
collector's
office
that
vacancy
was
eliminated,
so
actually
isn't
an
increase
in
staff
in
the
collector's
office.
Okay,.
G
I
got
from
you
initially
were
you're
really
busy,
because
you're
meeting
with
all
the
aldermen
in
Chicago
and
and
that
was
like
taking
up
so
much
of
your
time-
and
you
know
I'm,
just
I'm
having
some
frustrations
because
you
know
you're
talking
about
the
minutes,
but
when
I
look
at
the
the
city
website
doesn't
have
minutes
posted
since
the
middle
of
October
and
we
have
other
staff
people
who
are
doing
the
council
actions.
So
somebody
else
in
the
staff
has
to
do
the
council
actions
and
post
those.
G
So
no
the
point
is
you
know:
people
want
to
know
how
we
voted.
You
can
go
online
and
find
that
but
you're
not
finding
that
from
the
minutes,
you're
finding
that
from
stuff
that
other
people
are
having
to
do
so.
You
know
I'm.
Looking
to
you
and
I
asked
you
last
week,
I've
asked
you
before
you
know:
I
need
backup,
you're
talking
about
buying
software.
What
software,
how
much
does
it
cost?
We?
G
You
talked
about
the
transparency
and
you
know
the
packet
went
out
last
week
and
then
the
budgets
been
going
on
for
months
and
months
and
months
and
you
come
in
with
a
slide
presentation
without
any
numbers
or
any
backup.
It's
it's
really
challenging
because
you
know
I
think
we
want
to
be
supportive
but
you're
not
giving
us
anything
to
work
with,
and
you
know
we
don't
have
any.
You
know
other
than
just
general
ideas
of
things
you
want
to
do
and
a
lot
of
them
are
outside
the
job
description.
G
You
need
to
keep
the
records
and
then
some
things
come
out
that
make
us
nervous.
You
know
now
I'm
wondering
you
go
to
the
office
and
there's
it's
kind
of
empty
and
it
gives
me
pause
like
did
stuff
get
given
away
or
thrown
away,
where's
all
the
stuff,
so
I'm
sure
it's
fine,
but
you
know
I
guess
it
got
moved
to
the
attic
or
whatever.
But
you
know
the
budget
process
has
been.
You
know
we
asked
these
questions
and
the
staff
prepares
these
detailed
memos.
We
have
180
plus
pages
of
extra.
G
You
know
minutia,
so
you
got
to
give
us
something
to
work
with
and
I.
You
know
we
don't
have
it.
You
know,
if
you
you
know
during
the
course
of
the
year,
if
you
find
some
great
product
that
would
be
useful.
You
know
we're
interested
in
hearing
that
alderman,
Simmons
and
I
and
all
of
an
Aranea
were
you
got
the
benefit
of
hearing
some
presentations
at
the
National
League
of
Cities.
There
are
some
great
products
out
there
and
we
already
are
using
some
great
products,
the
socratis
systems
in
place.
G
You
know
the
we
have
a
lot
of
transparency,
we've
done
a
lot
of
things,
but
you
need
to
come
to
us
with
more
than
just
a
general
concept.
You
need
to
come
to
us
and
deliver
like
the
product.
What
do
you
want
to
buy?
What's
it
cost?
You
know
give
it
to
us,
and
we
don't
have
that
at
this
point,
so
I
don't
feel
comfortable.
Putting
you
know,
hiring
another
employee
to
do
something
that
you
haven't
clearly
identified.
G
A
I
can
respond
to
statements
alderman
Wilson
made
so
one
you
took
the
with
the
meetings
with
the
Chicago
aldermen
out
of
context.
That's
when
we
were
working
on
P
B
and
there
are
several
Chicago
aldermen
who
have
implemented
P
P.
So
of
course
we
met
with
folks
who
are
already
doing
it.
It's
actually
been
easier
to
meet
with
Chicago
aldermen.
Then
it's
been
easy.
Then
it
has
to
meet
with
some
of
my
fellow
council
members
here.
A
A
They
continue
so,
let's
on
on.
As
far
as
the
budget
process
like
I
said,
I
believe
I
was
under
the
impression
that,
from
the
beginning,
that
I
would
be
involved
in
the
budget
process
and
that
recommendations
that
I
made
during
the
budget
process
would
be
included
in
the
budget
that
was
presented
to
you.
The
goals
that
are
listed
in
the
budget
are
not
goals
that
my
office
had
any
part
of
creating
the
budget
that
is
in
the
document.
A
Our
is
not
a
budget
that
my
office
created,
so
yes,
I
wish
that
I
would
have
been
involved
in
the
process.
The
process
has
been
dysfunctional,
so
you
know
I'm
all
with
you
and
had
the
process
worked
the
way
it
should
have
from
the
beginning.
You
would
have
had
the
backup
you
would
have
had
the
extra
numbers,
so
so
it
moves
on.
E
B
So,
let's
look
what
I'd
like
to
do
what
I'd
like
to
do
because
I
want
everybody
to
be
able
to
understand
how
we
got
to
where
the
council
is
now
with
the
budget
city
manager?
Did
you
do
a
crosswalk
that
takes
us
from
last
year's
budget
to
where
we
are
this
year,
and
we
can
just
focus
on
this
council?
Can
you
know
focus
on
the
numbers
I've
heard
from
clerk
read
about
what
he'd
like
to
do
if.
A
I
can
make
one
last
point
it's
in
the
slide,
but
I
don't
necessarily
need
to
show
it.
This
year,
I
took
a
look
at
the
budget
and
we
have
a
surplus
of
about
$30,000
from
what
the
budget
is
reflecting.
If
you
factor
that
in
with
passport
services,
which
is
from
my
understanding
to
be
cut
next
year,
that's
total
of
$60,000.
If
you
move
the
30,000,
that's
left
over
from
this
year,
the
$30,000
in
passport
money,
the
difference
that
we're
talking
about
is
only
about
$25,000.
B
A
H
What
we
have
have
on
the
screen
in
medicate,
what
I'd
like
you
to
do
is
go
down
first,
so
slowly
you
have
the
2000
adopted
budget
that
we've
referred
to
quite
often,
and
it
is
that
two
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
that
had
three
full-time
personnel
included.
Then
what
we
did
going
back
up
again
is
just
so
everyone
can
see
it
is,
and,
and
we've
worked,
that
Clerk
even
had
something
similar
I
think
in
yours.
It
was
around
at
$85,000.
That
was
the
the
cost.
So
we
had.
H
The
detail
is
the
transfer
of
the
one
position
out
was
eighty
four
thousand
four.
Ninety
two
and
health
insurance
and
things
like
that
change.
We
don't
even
these
numbers
could
be
inaccurate
if
we
hired
somebody
who
had
full-time
who
had
family
medical,
the
numbers
would
be
different
versus
somebody
who
asks
for
an
opt
out
which
is
much
less
so
in
any
event,
we
budgeted
at
this
level
at
eighty
four
four,
ninety
to
encapsulate
the
transfer,
and
you
can
see
right
to
the
right.
H
It
says
transfer
of
the
position
to
finance
what
we're
not
showing
you
is
the
transfer
of
the
other
position
down
to
vital
records,
because
that
position
is
replaced
with
the
current
deputy
clerk.
So
it's
not
listed.
There
is
some
savings,
because
the
current
deputy
clerk
I
believe
is
making
less
than
the
two
clerks
that
were
transferred
out.
So
that's
a
leave.
It
was
about
a
six
seven
thousand
dollar
differential
right.
So.
B
That
so
the
person
that
was
in
the
clerk's
office
that
went
to
vital
records
went
to
vital
records
and
performed
a
function
that
was
not
a
function
that
was
previously
performed
in
the
clerk's
office
health.
This
person
that
was
transferred
for
eighty
five
thousand,
or
so
they
were,
they
were
performing
a
function
that
was
in
the
clerk's
office,
correct.
B
H
C
Party
before
you
go
to
the
first
I
change,
can
you
just
walk
through
the
baseline
budget?
The
difference
between
the
2018
baseline
and
the
and
the
object.
So
printing
is
the
same
postage.
Chargebacks
is
the
same
overnight.
Mails
the
same
travel
and
training
is
the
same.
Posters
is
the
same.
Membership
dues
is
the
same
copy.
Machine
charges
is
the
same.
Codification
services
changed
based
on
an
email
from
the
clerk
office
supplies
is
the
same.
Election
supplies
was
increased
at
the
request
of
the
clerk
and
then.
H
The
car
use
is
the
clerk's
office
has
requested
the
utilization
of
of
fleet
vehicles
and
we
do
have,
and
we
have
pool
cars
that
are
on
occasion
used
by
a
variety
of
personnel.
Many
of
these
personnel
already
have
other
vehicles,
but
it's
I'll
pick
on
engineering
or
another,
any
other
department
that
might
need
the
pool
car
on
occasion.
In
this
regard,
we
have
a
division
of
business
unit
with
no
other
car
and
the
clerk
wanted
to
have
use
of
that
vehicle,
and
so
we
cost
it
out
based
on
the
value
sejoon
2017.
H
An
amount
of
$500,
which
is
the
the
rental
of
auto
fleet,
is
the
maintenance
and
the
rental
auto
fleet
replacement
is
to
buy
a
new
vehicle
within
an
eight
year
time
frame,
if
that's
the
vehicle
life,
so
the
at
$1,000
a
year.
For
that
rental.
That's,
if
you
think
of
that
in
all
the
times
for
renting
a
car
on
that
would
be
about
85
a
little
under
eighty
two.
Eighty
three
point:
three
three
dollars
a
month:
he'll.
H
Was
a
how
many
mr.
Lee
was
at
thirty
three
year
today,
so
for
half
a
year
it
was
thirty
three
uses,
so
we
doubled
it.
Sixty-Six
uses
and
and
just
came
and
came
up
with
this
number-
it's
also
approximately
equal
to
one-fourth
of
that
vehicle.
If
you
see
us
with
just
a
Ford
Focus
or
the
smallest
vehicle,
we
have
it's
about
two
thousand
dollars
a
year
for
each
of
those
line
items
so
we're
charging
for
a
quarter
of
a
car
ultimate.
H
K
F
H
So
if
you'd
go
up
Katie,
so
the
4%
reduction
per
a
memo
that
we
did
provide
to
the
the
clerk,
the
4%
decrease
and
they
know
we've
lost
our
to
the
left.
So
the
clerk,
the
$3,000,
is
representative
of
the
fact
that
our
original
budget
had
all
of
the
the
raises
that
all
staff
were
getting
as
a
part
of
the
negotiations,
the
roughly
5%
and
the
clerks
compensation
is
set
by
statute.
H
So
we
pulled
that
back
out,
so
there's
no
increase
for
the
clerk
or
for
counsel,
and
that's
that
whole
three
thousand
three
hundred
ninety
seven
dollars.
It's
just
the
amount
for
that
change.
Then
if
we
go
down
to
the
three
thousand
Kate,
can
you
help
me
out
while
going
to
the
left?
What's
right?
Dead
center
I
need
to
know
what
that
is,
training
and
travel
and
historic,
set
based
on
actuals
in
the
previous
year?
I
think
we
cut
back
from
five
thousand
to
three
thousand,
so
that's
two
thousand
dollars
that
it
would
be
enough
training.
H
We
would
have
directors
that
would
go
to
a
national
conference
for
a
little
a
little
over
that
amount,
but
that
would
provide
for
the
state
conference
for
other
training.
That's
the
cut
there,
the
postage,
that's
the
reduction
of
the
postage
copy
machine
charges,
they're
self-explanatory!
So
and
and
again,
if
you
go
to
the
right,
so
you
can
see
what
the
based
on
says
based
on
actual
spending,
so
there
hadn't
been
in
the
actual
spending.
H
So
we
quite
often
will
look
at
previous
history
for
a
given
accountant
if
we're
not
spending
out
of
it,
especially
in
this
budget,
where
we
are
looking
for
decreases,
we
look
at
that
change.
Should
somebody
assume
a
division
need
to
spend
money
out
of
that?
It's
their
entire
budget
that
has
watched
not
in
the
individual
account
and.
H
A
H
H
You
go
to
page
21
I
believe.
Can
someone
else
check
the
the
the
packet
you'll
actually
see
in
the
one
document?
We
have
all
the
percentages
by
Department
of
changes.
For
instance,
when
all
of
the
residents
have
come
up
and
talked
about
the
35
percent,
it
was
33
percent
in
the
document
given
to
the
council.
C
So,
just
for
the
record,
then
the
city
manager's
office,
fourteen
point:
three
percent
reduction:
Department
5.5
ministry
of
services,
10.1
Community,
Development,
6.6
police,
an
increase
of
0.67%
fire;
a
decrease
of
one
percent
health.
As
you
mentions,
an
increased
Parks
and
Rec.
Three
percent
decrease
in
Public
Works,
eight
point:
seven,
nine
percent
and.
H
B
All
right
well,
thank
you!
Thank
you,
mister
line.
So,
to
summarize
again,
last
year's
budget
275,000
adjustment
was
made
when
someone
was
transferred
out
of
the
clerk's
office
into
the
city,
the
the
city.
Often
local
clerk,
is
a
city
to
but
into
the
finance
to
into
the
finance
division,
so
that
cost
is
still
being
curd
by
the
city
and
the
finance
division.
That
adjustment
came
to
191,000.
Then
there
was
the
4%
reduction
applied
to
it,
so
that
leads
us
to
the
183.
AE
AE
Okay,
so
one
of
the
the
only
reason
I
have
my
light
on.
It
is
because
I
recollect
you're
making
a
comment
about
software
to
secure
the
voter
registration.
This
citywide
vote
I'm
not
sure
what
software
you're
talking
about,
but
right
on
this
computer
I
have
the
entire
city
of
Evanston
voter
registration
at
customs,
six
dollars
from
and
I'm
I'm
supposed
to
go
downtown
and
get
a
new
one,
and
it's
it's
a
disc.
You
put
it
in
and
it
has
everybody's
birth.
AE
A
AB
K
AE
A
column
put
an
X,
you
know,
I
mean
like
made
it
that
that's
that's
too
much
that
we
don't
need
that
I
am
very
concerned
based
on
the
way
you
talk
and
it's
very
exciting
if
you
were
reclaimed
Chicago
and
that's
what
I'm
scared
about
it's
sounding
way
too
political,
I,
I,
love
politics,
I
love
the
fact
that
you
want
to
be
political
but
you're,
the
city
clerk.
You
can't
be
you
just
can't
be
political
being
the
city,
clerk
and
I
know
that's
in
your
blood
and
the
city.
AE
Clerk
can't
be
political,
and
you
have
conducted
the
hugest
political
campaign
over
this
budget.
I
mean
these
people
didn't
do
this
on
their
own.
They
they
were
motivated
by
I
mean
you
know,
was
a
lobbying
campaign
and
it
was
an
amazing
campaign
and
so
I
you
got
a
step
back
from
that.
As
a
city
clerk
you
just
you
just
can't
you
can't
be
political,
that's
all
I'm,
saying
you're
a
nonpartisan
candidate
and
you
got
yourself
elected,
but
now
you
got
to
stop.
F
I
AC
P
I
H
H
Think
I
stated
this
prior
to
this,
the
smallest
that
we
would
had
for
that
five
hundred
dollars
would
have
been
some
department
that
may
have
had
a
split
vehicle
car
split
in
half
between
two
divisions,
but
usually
it
would
be
one
car
about
two
thousand
to
three
thousand
dollars
per
line
item
to
maintain
it
and
replace
it.
We
thought
this
was
a
solution
that
was
something
worth
trying
because
it
showed
utilization
keeps
us
from
going
out
and
renting
with
a
rental
car
agency.
H
We
do
that
in
our
engineering
division
thought
it
was
a
solution
that
would
allow
the
clerk
access
but
also
show
cost,
and
then
we
track
it
for
a
year
and
if
that's
not
how
we
wanted
to
move
forward,
we
could
go
from
there,
but
it
would
get
just
charged
at
$500,
regardless
of
the
use.
Just
so
you're
aware
we
what
we
do
is
if
this
budget
was
passed,
divide
those
members
by
12
transfer
the
money
112
every
month.
Okay,.
I
My
other
question
is
for
training
and
travel,
so
the
clerk
mentioned
a
city
clerk
training
program.
Does
this
$2,000
cover
that
do
you
know
I
do.
I
AF
A
AF
Sorry,
the
having
a
conversations,
the
15
things
right
between
the
city
code
and
then
there's
a
couple
of
things
in
the
compiled
statutes.
Can
you
and
one
deputy
clerk
do
those
I
mean
you
think
it's
a
sufficient
staffing
level
to
accomplish
those
things
minutes
records?
That's.
AF
AF
Now,
when
the
city
purchases
software,
do
we
go
through
a
central
purchasing?
Your
know,
it's
a
weird
spot
right,
you're,
an
independently
elected
official,
as
you
point
out,
you're,
also
a
full-time
person
you're.
The
only
full-time
person
up
here,
there's
like
I,
said:
15
duties
there
in
statute
and
city
code
that
need
to
happen
and
then
the
rest
of
the
stuff.
You
know.
Obviously,
if
you
want
to
talk
about
the
election,
that's
next
year's
an
election
here
so
and
I.
Don't
remember
from
your
slideshow
how
much
you're
saying
you
need
for
the
election.
A
AF
A
So
know
that
the
mission
isn't
to
register
voters,
that's
a
part
of
the
mission
and
we're
more
so
relying
on
organizations
that
exist,
such
as
the
League
of
Women,
Voters
and
V
pack,
and
that
group
to
register
voters.
Our
mission
is
to
specifically
do
out
conduct
outreach
to
people
who
are
not
who
maybe
vote
in
presidential
elections,
but
don't
come
and
vote
in
off
your
elections
and
to
organize
a
campaign
to
get
those
folks
out
to
vote
in
a
non-partisan
manner.
Okay,.
AF
Here's
what
I'll
say:
I
am
very
open-minded
on
the
election
stuff
and
I
understand
you
have
a
vision
but
I.
You
would
like
to
see
some
sort
of
impose,
my
but
good
or
is
it
my
obligation
tonight?
Is
the
15
things
making
sure
there's
adequate
staffing
to
get
those
done?
Those
are
what
are
in
the
city
code.
That's
what
the
statutes
require.
That's
what
I'm
focused
on
I
think
the
legislative
tracker
is
an
uninformed
idea
and
there
may
be
a
less
expensive
way
to
accomplish
the
goal
of
having
it
be.
I.
AF
A
If
I
may
say,
I
don't
believe
every
department
comes
here
and
gives
you
a
proposal
for
every
line
item
of
what
they're
exactly
going
to
do
with
the
budget
and
so
I
I
have,
you
know,
done
the
research
to
come
up
with
these
numbers
as
accurately
as
possible.
But
that's
I.
Don't
that's
not
the
standard
that
every
department
has
held
to
what.
AF
B
Let's
do
this
clerk
read:
that's
I
just
want
to
keep
order
up
up
here
and
I've
got
a
lot
of
lights
of
different
Alderman's,
so
I'm
happy
to
come
back
to
you
at
a
certain
point.
You
can
jot
down
things
that
you
want
to
respond
to
all
my
Fisk.
K
K
K
Agree
with
alderman
Rainey,
having
used
they
the
information
provided
by
the
County
Clerk,
that's
in
an
Excel
spreadsheet
format.
You
can
add
columns,
you
can
sort
it.
You
can
do
all
sorts
of
things
with
it.
That
should
give
you
the
information
that
you
need
to
keep
track
of,
who
who
you're
contacting
and
their
and
their
their
responses.
There's.
K
But
I
also
asked
a
representative
of
the
League
of
Women
Voters,
because
I'm,
assuming
that
they're
out
trying
to
encourage
people
to
register
to
vote
as
well
I
have
to
say
that
I'm
really
uncomfortable
about
the
clerk's
office
being
in
charge
of
sending
what
sounds
like
and
I
may
be
wrong:
an
army
of
people
out
going
door-to-door
asking
people,
whether
they're
voting
or
not,
and
if
they're
not
why
they
should
be
voting
in
things
like
that.
Again,
that's
not
been
a
traditional.
K
Route
that
the
clerk's
office
has
taken
and
there's
a
sense
that
that
may
be
crossing
the
line
between
our
very
important
role
as
a
city,
council
and
city
staff
of
being
nonpartisan
and
I
want
to
be
real.
Careful
because
this
is
I
mean.
This
is
something
that
you
can
air
on
real
quickly
without
intending
to
do
that.
K
I
brought
up
the
issue
about
the
car
only
because,
if
you're
asking
for
another
individual
in
order
to
drive
that
car,
it's
actually
taking
a
deputy
city
clerk
away
from
the
duties
in
the
office
and
I
see
the
duties
in
the
office
as
the
most
important
thing,
I
got
a
phone
call
today
from
a
woman
in
my
ward,
who
had
gone
over
to
your
office,
asking
about
an
absentee
ballot
was
given.
First
of
all,
no
one
showed
up
after
ringing
the
bell
for
a
while.
Someone
finally
showed
up
gave
her
a
wrong
application.
K
Then
couldn't
it
wouldn't
she
pointed
out.
It
was
the
wrong
application,
told
her
that
the
information
she
wanted
was
not
available
and
she
asked
if
you
were
there,
so
she
could
ask
a
question
of
you.
You
were
not
there
and
when
asked
when
you
would
be,
there
was
told
they
didn't
know
so
I
just
again,
I
think
you
can
appreciate
the
fact
that
we
do
get
phone
calls
like
this.
K
I
mean
when,
when
one
of
our
constituents
has
a
question
rather
than
dialing,
3-1-1
they'll
call
us
and
they'll
ask
and
I
don't
have
an
explanation
for
it.
So
I
need
some
more
answers
before
I
feel
comfortable
in
voting
for
anything
other
than
the
city.
Manager's
proposed
budget
I
do
think
the
that
right
now
we
have
to
be
very
judicious
about
how
we
spend
our
money
and
I
do
see
that
there
are
other
ways
for
you
to
accomplish
what
it
is
that
you're
trying
to
accomplish,
but
in
a
more
much
more
cost-effective
manner.
B
AI
Well,
I,
certainly,
as
with
my
strong
League
of
Women
Voters
background,
really
appreciate
the
City
Clerk's
desire
to
promote
greater
voter
registration
and
voter
participation
in
our
community
and
I
agree.
It
would
be.
We
do
want
to
strive
to
improve
our
track
record
there
for
our
star
communities.
Rating
and
I
was
I'm
glad
to
see
that
there
is
a
small
addition
in
this
proposed
budget
for
election
supplies,
but
I
have
to
second
what
alderman
fists
just
mentioned
about.
AI
You
know,
given
our
current
really
severe
budget
constraints,
it's
important
to
look
for
ways
to
achieve
these
really
important
vision
and
goals
in
ways
that
aren't
going
to
put
us
over
the
budget
and
in
connection
with
the
with
the
election
and
V
PAC.
I
am
familiar
with
V
PAC,
because
the
legal
men
voters
has
been
very
active
in
putting
together
this
voter
participation
coalition
and
they've
been,
and
it's
a
lot
of
nonprofits
in
evanston,
working
together
in
a
very
coordinated
fashion,
to
do
really
much
more
comprehensive
outreach
in
the
community
for
voter
registration
and
I.
AI
Think
that's
I
think
that
Coalition
would
welcome
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
the
city
clerk
in
his
office
and
strategize
and
come
up
with
plans
and
do
all
kinds
of
really
terrific
things
for
our
upcoming
elections.
So
I
I
were
to
really
encourage
city
clerk
to
be
to
work
within
the
budget
that
we
looking
at
tonight
and
achieved.
These
are
the
great
things
in
our
next
election
Thank.
G
A
Would
provide
us
with
yes
addresses
phone
numbers
and
voting
histories
of
folks,
as
well
as
an
organized
system
that
we
can
share
with
folks,
so
we
can
create.
You
know
either
a
door-to-door
four
phone
campaign
to
let
people
know
when
the
election
is
what's
on
the
ballot
and
get
a
voter,
a
nonpartisan
voter
guide
to
those
folks.
Okay,.
A
That
wouldn't
be
the
function
of
the
clerk's
office.
To
note
whether
folks
are
voting
Republican
and
that
exists,
I
mean
that
software
exists,
that
you
can
campaigns
can
purchase.
What
the
office
is
doing
is
in
a
non-partisan
fashion.
Other
cities
around
the
country
have
done
it
reaching
out
to
voters
letting
them
know
where
they
can
vote
when
they
can
vote
what
their
rights
are.
What's
on
the
ballot
increasing
the
overall
awareness
of
elections.
G
Okay
and
I'm,
just
not
sure
at
this
point,
I'm
not
comfortable,
paying
somebody
to
go
door-to-door
to
do
that.
So
it's
it's
just
it's
that
it's
not
it's
not
practical!
It's
not
practical
to
send
somebody
door-to-door
to
75,000
people
or
no,
it's
not
all.
You
know
eligible
to
vote,
not
all
eighteen,
but
to
send
people
door-to-door
and
phone
banking.
You
know
paying
for
that.
Just
doesn't
sound
reasonable
me.
I!
Think.
A
On
address
a
few
points
that
were
raised
you
know,
passports
is
not
a
vital
function
of
the
clerk's
office.
Real
estate
transfer
stamps
is
written
into
the
code
to
fall
under
the
collector's
office,
but
the
council
members
were
fine
with
those
services,
those
non
core
functions
falling
within
the
clerk's
office
and
taking
up
as
well
as
mail
and
taking
up
a
large
portion.
A
good
portion
of
what
the
clerk's
office
did.
A
J
Away,
thank
you
for
Samara
and
I
guess
to
clerk.
Read
the
members
of
the
Council
of
looking
at
the
time.
It's
now
10:30
and
you
know,
as
we
discussed
earlier
in
rules,
it's
it's
difficult
to
make
good
decisions
at
a
late
hour,
and
so
so
the
clerk
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
you
and
in
all
of
your
efforts
in
in
what
you're
bringing
to
the
office,
which
includes,
obviously
a
large
number
of
volunteers.
J
What's
clear
to
me
tonight
in
at
this
hour,
is
that
we
have
a
very
difficult
issue
and
that's
balancing
a
five
million
dollar
budget
that
we
all
pay,
taxes
for
and
I
just
hope
by.
Those
of
you
who
decide
to
stay
and
listen
to
this
conversation
that
you
know,
we've
heard
the
numbers
we
went
through
the
the
balancing
of
this
this
budget
and
I'm,
hoping
that
you
realized
that
myself
being
one
of
the
black
members
on
council
that
there's
this
is
an
inequity.
J
This
is
just
strictly
numbers
in
a
budget,
and
we
all
have
to
deal
with
that
from
the
people
who
make
the
decision
and
those
that
have
to
pay
the
taxes
and
so
I'm
comfortable
with
with
following
this,
this
budget,
that
the
staff
has
laid
out
and
I
think
too
clerk
weed.
You
still
have
three
more
years
of
work
on
on
city,
council
and
so
I'm
sure,
with
the
efforts
of
the
volunteers
and
with
budget
opportunities
for
the
future.
J
A
I'd
make
one
point
what
we're
talking
about
when
you
factor
in
passports
and
you
factor
in
the
$30,000,
and
we
have
leftover
we're
really
talking
about
about
twenty
to
twenty
five
thousand
dollars.
So
this
isn't
going
to
make
or
break
the
budget.
It
is
a
small
dollar
amount
that
we're
talking.
It
is
a
relatively
small
dollar
amount
that
we're
talking
about
so
I
hope
that
is
also
of
clear
understanding
and
that
small
dollar
amount
means
that
this
office
can
do
a
whole
lot
more.
G
We
want
you
to
have
what
you
need
to
do:
the
job.
Okay,
that's
important
to
all
of
us,
but
as
we
go
through
the
next
year,
when
you
find
a
software
package,
like
you
know,
bring
us
the
bring
it
to
us.
Okay,
how
much
does
it
cost?
What
does
it
do?
Just
the
idea
that
you're
gonna
need
whatever
it
is
fifty
eighty
thousand
dollars
to
pursue
an
idea?
That's
not
budgeting!
We
need
to
know
what
you
need.
Did
you?
Did
the
staff
get
the
actual
training
numbers
for
for
previously
I
love,
you
guys
yeah.
H
Y
G
E
B
AH
AH
In
support
of
more
dollars
into
the
office,
not
understanding
why
the
the
minutes
have
been
inconsistent
and
the
absence
is
that
I've
heard
as
well
in
the
office
I.
Do,
however,
believe
that
you
should
have
money
for
software
I'm,
just
unsure
about
the
additional
money
for
for
additional
staff
and
I
reached
out
to
you
last
Thursday
to
ask
for
a
better
understanding
and
clarification
on
how
I
could
advocate
for
your
office
and
for
more
money
and
I
didn't
get
an
answer.
AH
So
it's
hard
now
to
get
this
information
and
not
be
able
to
come
up
with
questions
to
make
a
really
informed
decision.
So,
if
you
have
information
and
we
at
the
at
the
conference,
we
were
introduced
to
different
software
and
I-
don't
know
if
those
were
any
software
that
you
were
considering.
But
if
we
have
more
information
on
what
that
was,
I
would
want
to
approve
you
having
money
for
software.
I
just
don't
know
what
the
software
is.
The
cost
of
the
software,
the
exact
software
and,
if
you've
competitively
priced
and
shop,
that
software.
B
I
Know
probably
quick
I'm
serious
up
here,
so
I
do
agree
with
alderman
druh
Simmons
and
that
you
know
I'm.
Okay,
with
some
software
cost
I
I
do
not
have
any
interest
in
micromanaging
what
that
software
is
city
manager.
Can
you
please
reiterate
what
our
I
guess
awfully
policy
is
in
terms
of
departmental
purchases?
I
know
a
lot.
We
see
on
the
bills
list
some
things
we
send
the
credit
card
list.
You
know
so
on
and
so
forth,
but
does
everything
that
I'm,
assuming
everything
that
our
departments
purchased,
do
not
come
to
City
Council
for
approval?
C
Know
it
depends
certainly
any
any
purchase
over
$20,000
comes
before
the
council,
and
then
there
are
specific
programs
and
initiatives
that
come
before
the
council,
but
they're
less
dollars
than
that.
But
but
by
and
large
things
that
are
under
$20,000
don't
come
before
the
council.
They
appear
around
the
bills
list,
so
every
every
transaction
appears
on
tolls
and.
I
I
So
I
would
also
support
the
clerk
having
a
line
item
in
here.
For
software
you
know,
assuming
the
other
departments
are
software.
One
thing
I
would
encourage.
The
clerk
to
do
is
to
speak
with
our
IT
department,
because
I,
don't
know
you
know,
I,
don't
know
no
computers,
so
there
might
be
something
that
they
know
there
might
be
something
they
can
help
you
make.
You
know,
I
just
think
we
should
look
in
house
first
to
see
what
we
can
come
up
with
and
then
my
other
question
is
the
thirty
thousand
dollar
surplus.
Mr.
I
C
I
Alright,
so
I
would
also
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
an
amount
that
I've
put
forward
I,
don't
know
maybe
five
thousand
dollars
or
so
for
software
purchases.
And
then
you
know
the
clerk
needs
to
follow
the
process
that
all
other
departments
follow
in
terms
of
purchasing
and
going
on
the
bills
list
and
so
on
and
so
forth
is.
B
A
B
AE
The
clerk
clerk
read,
you
mentioned
a
a
phrase
used
several
times:
it's
only
twenty
five
thousand
dollars.
I
just
want
to
share
with
you
what
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
is.
In
my
ward,
when
the
tax
bills
came
out,
I
took
a
look
at
a
whole
variety
of
text
bills
on
the
city's
Web
website.
My
my
place
and
a
whole
lot
of
properties,
especially
condos
under
five
thousand
dollars
for
their
tax
bill.
AE
Twenty-Five
thousand
dollars
equals
the
city
portion
of
25
condominium
units,
the
city
portion
of
their
tax
bill,
a
thousand
dollars
for
the
city
portion
of
25
condominium
units,
so
25
families
they're
sending
to
the
city
a
thousand
dollars
in
taxes.
So
that
means
a
lot
to
people
that
that
thousand
dollars,
so
their
tax
bill
is
five
thousand
dollars
and
about
20%
of
the
portion
was
to
the
city,
and
so
it
that
means
a
lot.
$25,000
Thank.
AH
B
B
I
A
AH
B
C
I
B
Oldman
bravery,
one
of
you
take
us
an
sp3
smear.
J
Members
of
council
I
like
to
move
item
sp3
freedom
of
information
act
policy,
revision,
city
clerk,
recommend
city
council,
approved
the
amendments
of
the
city
of
Evanston,
Freedom
of
Information
Act
policy
known
as
FOIA
clerk
read
and
city
staff
have
worked
together
to
incorporate
the
clerk
suggestions.
Changes
into
the
new
FOIA
policy
staff
requests
the
direction
from
the
City
Council
upon
review,
sir.
F
F
G
Okay,
yeah
I,
guess
I
prefer
the
one
that
was
proffered
by
the
law
department,
the
particulars
sure
I
still
have
with
the
other
version.
The
main
issue
is
the
idea
that
somebody
could
still
put
in
anything
they
want
in
that
request
field
or
they
could.
What
page
you
want
sorry
yeah.
You
know
what
yeah
you
had
all
the
budget
stuff
up
and
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
pull
this
stuff
up.
That
page,
so
FOIA.
G
Not
even
gonna
change
them
I'm,
just
suggesting
that
we
utilize
the
law
departments
version
the
page
42
of
the
one
suggested
by
the
clerk's
office
at
the
top.
It
has
a
provision
that
says
all
records.
All
requests
will
be
restricted
from
public
view
until
72
hours
after
delivery
of
the
response,
unless
otherwise
directed
by
the
requester
requests
for
singular
personal
police
reports
will
be
released
only
it's
like
only
to
the
requester.
So
the
problem
with
that
is
that.
G
Number
one
I
think
it
should
be
sort
of
if
we
were
to
do
something
like
that,
the
requester
should
have
to
affirmatively,
say:
okay,
yeah
release
it
as
opposed
to
having
to
go
back
and,
like
you
know,
realize
that
it's
otherwise
gonna
be
released.
The
other
thing
is
that
without
it's
it's
the
same
problem
we
had
before
anybody
could
put
anything
in
there
and
this
could
get
this
stuff
could
get
released.
That
would
contain
personal
information.
If
the
request
itself
contains
the
personal
information,
this
would
not
solve
that
problem.
G
So,
if
I
put
in
I
want
the
all
the
reports
relating
to
victims,
so-and-so
that
happened
on
such-and-such
if
it's
in
the
request
field
and
it's
released
that
doesn't
solve
the
problem
that
problems
still
there
you're
still
identifying
that
stuff,
so
I
think
it's
just
better
to
stick
with
the
releasing
to
the
requesters.
Only
and
in
keeping
as
it
is
now
the
other
I
think
there
was
I'm
looking
for
it
now.
G
I
G
G
Okay,
so
the
point
is
that
everybody
has
to
prepare
those
anyway
and
file,
those
so
they're
available,
but
the
idea
of
publishing
in
one
place
all
of
the
board
and
Commission
members
personal
information.
So
one
thing
for
us
as
elected
officials,
it's
another
thing
for
somebody
who
volunteers
for,
like
a
you
know,
a
two
session,
or
so
you
know
some
sort
of
small
committee
or
you
know
once
a
month
thing,
or
you
know
once
a
year
type
of
thing
to
have
all
their
stuff
published
on
a
website.
G
That's
you
know
out
there
for
people
to
find
on
searches.
That's
that
seems
to
me
that
it's
a
little
bit
stretching
the
limits
of
of
transparency
and
again,
if
somebody
wanted
it,
it's
available
go
dogs
office
for
my
request.
So
if
somebody
had
an
issue
with
a
person,
you
do
that,
but
just
to
kind
of
you
know
it
floated
out
there
and
and
and
subject
people
to
you
know,
potential
harassment
or
whatever
that's
a
little
bit
uncomfortable
feeling.
A
Well
so
I
mean
if
I
may
respond
to
that
and
a
few
other
questions
one
as
far
as
the
releasing
request.
Since
the
system
has
been
down,
we
regularly
receive
for
your
request
for
all
of
the
foyers
that
have
been
filed
and
according
to
FOIA
statute,
we
have
to
release
the
name
of
the
requester
that
what
the
requester
requested
and
if
the
person
has
so
asked
for
all
of
the
response
documents
and
we've
been
receiving
those
requests
faithfully
every
single
week
to
get
those.
A
A
To
to
the
last
point
that
you
made
I
mean
these:
are
financial
disclosure
filings
these
their
ethics
filings
I?
If
you
sign
up
and
you're
on
a
border
commission
that
deals
with
money
or
deals
with
using
with
allocating
city
resources,
I
think
darn.
Well,
you
should
that
public
should
be
able
to
very
easily
access
that
information.
A
K
K
AJ
Based
on
what
was
proposed
in
October
Henry,
Mike
assistant
city
attorney,
Henry,
Ford
I
believe
that
it's
up
to
the
council
to
designate
FOIA
officers,
it
could
be
the
clerk.
It
can
be
any
other
city
staff
that
it's
so
designates.
My
understanding,
based
on
the
history
I'm
not
sure
whether
a
specific
law
department
attorney
was
named
as
a
FOIA
officer,
but
that's
within
the
council's
authority.
I
think.
J
AJ
We
would
respond
directly
to
FOIA
requests.
We
would
compile
information
from
various
departments.
We
would
redact
the
information
we
would
see
if
it
was.
It
was
within
any
exceptions
under
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act
for
distribution,
so
we
would
handle
all
that
there
you
go
so.
B
G
F
E
I
All
right,
I'm
trying
to
keep
it
together
here
and
my
eyes
hurt
so
I.
This
was
hard
to
read
but
I.
My
understanding
of
the
next
request
system
prior
to
it
coming
down
was
that,
when
request
went
in
everything
was
you
know,
properly
redacted,
and
then
it
was
up
on
the
next
request
system
that
you
could
access.
If
you
were
so
interested
and
and
and
looking
for
things
is
that
correct
you
could
search
or
you
could
click
on
some
link
that
took
you
to
whatever
the
FOIA
thing
was
yes,.
I
Mean
whatever
was
public
could
be
public?
Was
there
okay
and
so
I
know
that
there
have
been
some
redaction
issues
and
I
think
that
I
I
would
like
to
use
the
next
request
system
as
it
is
I
do
not
like
the
option
that
was
in
here
about
things
automatically
going
public
unless
they
opt
it
out.
Cuz
I
think
people
aren't
in
the
habit
of
remembering
to
opt
out
so
and
well.
Let
me
finish
my
thought,
and
it
says
that
the
system
at
this
time
does
not
have
an
option
for
you
to
opt
out
and
I.
I
Think
that's
going
to
be
too
difficult
for
people
to
opt
out
so
I
don't
mind
it
going
online,
but
I
think
we
need
to
make
it
easier
for
people
to.
We
even
need
to
ask
them
if
you
can
go
online
when
we
deliver
the
documents
so
that
they
can
think
about
it
once
they
see
their
documents,
and
so
it's
not
maybe
an
automatic
72
hours.
You
know
we
have
some
kind
of
language
in
there.
When
we
send
you
your
thing
we
can
say
this
is
eligible
for
public
information.
I
Would
you
be
okay
with
they
go
on
our
next
request
or
something
I
don't
want
to
put
the
responsibility
on
the
person
to
remember
to
opt
out.
I
also
think
that
people
maybe
want
to
look
at
the
documents
before
they
decide,
because
maybe
it's
containing
more
information
than
I
thought
it
would,
and
they
don't
want
to
know
my
but
I,
think
in
this
age
of
lack
of
trust
of
government
I.
I
Think
it's
better
to
just
put
the
things
that
we
can
online
and
if
someone
wants
to
spend
their
afternoon,
perusing
FOIA
and
finding
what
they
can
and
God
bless
them.
I
also
would
hope
that
things
that
are
of
more
interest
to
the
general
public
in
terms
of
I
know
like
we
had
a
request
for
legal
fees
and
all
that
kind
of
thing
that
that
could
go
on
the
open
portal
system
so
that
people
are
not
searching
through
pages
and
pages
of
next
requests.
I
But
if
they're
interested
in
whatever
public
information
there
is
out
there
that
can
go
on
the
open
portal
database.
Page
and
people
can
look
there
to
more
easily
access
things,
because
I
guess
my
feeling
is.
If
I
am
really
interested
in
uncovering
whatever
through
FOIA
and
I,
make
that
request-
and
you
get
it
to
me-
I
can
then
share
it
with
whoever
I
want,
and
so,
if
I'm,
really
looking
to
promote
whatever
it
is
I
discovered.
I
can
do
that
anyway,
once
I
have
the
document.
I
So
if
it's,
if
it's
something
public,
that
people
are
okay,
putting
on
next
request,
I
would
support
a
plan
to
do
that,
but
we
have
to
make
sure
we
do
the
legwork
to
make
sure
that
happens,
which
means
proper
reductions
the
first
time
and
allowing
someone
to
cede
information
and
then
for
them
to
say
yes,
I'm.
Okay,
with
this
going
online
I,
don't
want
everything
that
is
published
to
just
automatically
go
online
I.
Don't
think
that
that
is
the
most
responsible,
but
I
also
don't
want.
A
Deputy
city
manager
story,
I
had
a
conversation.
They
are
able
to
add
a
section
that
lets.
People
know
right
in
the
box
that
hey
this
is
going
to
be
public
right
in
the
request
field
that
this
will
be
made
public
and
then,
as
you
know,
that
that
yes
down
the
road
they're
looking
into
adding
a
feature
that
would
allow
folks
to
opt
out,
but
just
letting
folks
know
on
the
front
end
that
anything
you
put
in
that
request.
Box
is
public
information,
I!
Think,
okay,.
I
A
I
A
I
Mean
if
it
says
on
there,
I
guess
what
I'm
also
concerned
about
is
if
I
would
like
to
see
whatever
I
would
like
to
see
via
FOIA.
I
might
not
want
my
neighbors
to
know
I'm
looking
at
that
right,
if
I,
if
I,
want
to
look
up
what
my
neighbor,
if
I,
want
to
look
up
something
that
is
private
but
I
have
to
point
it.
I
might
not
want
everyone
to
know.
That's
what
I'm
looking
for
and
so
I
don't
know
how
we
get
around
that
I.
I
Don't
know
what
the
FOIA
law
is
on
that,
but
I
want
to
respect.
I
want
to
respect
women
who
come
in
for
domestic
violence
or
any
other
thing
that
they're
coming
in
for
that
their
name
is
not
listed
there.
As
Sicily
Fleming
came
in
to
get
her
domestic
violence
report
and
I
know
some
things
are
redacted
I,
don't
have
the
energy
to
get
into
what
that
is,
but
I
don't
want
someone
deterred
from
using
FOIA
if
they
need
it,
because
their
name
is
now
and.
B
A
B
Correct
but
the
different
just
so
so
it's
correct
so
I
mean
the
point:
is
anyone
with
any
of
us
or
anybody
that
works
for
the
government?
Can
FOIA
any
of
our
stuff?
I
mean
that's
the
whole
idea
of
sunshine
laws,
the
what
the
law
says
as
I
understand
it
is
that
the
government
is
required
to
turn
over
the
response
to
the
requester.
B
B
You
know
all
of
the
emails
which,
again
when
they
say
hey,
no,
that's
the
way
government
should
be
I
should
be
able
to
see
the
mayor's
emails
and
any
day
now
I've
said
this
before
people
email,
not
just
me,
but
all
of
the
folks
up
here
and
other
people
in
our
government,
all
sorts
of
emails.
Okay
about
I've,
you
know
lost
my
job
and
can
you
can
you
help
me?
Is
there
something
in
the
city
or
something
else,
and
you
know
around
town,
you
know
my
son
or
daughter.
B
A
Okay,
if
I
may
add
to
to
your
thing,
so
what
if
someone
sends
you
an
email
that
is
personal
and
attorney
Ford
can
make
to
this.
My
understanding
is
that
that
kind
of
email,
that
kind
of
personal
communication
could
be
redacted
and
thus
far
your
emails
have
been
forward.
A
lot.
I
haven't
seen
a
single
email
like
that,
and
it
that's
been
released
there
for
you.
B
Well,
we
could
look
at
the
email.
I
just
got
listen
relief
through
for
you.
Well,
here's
here's
the
thing
as
I
understand
for
you
and
you
know
our
attorney
could
help
us
here.
My
understanding
of
FOIA
is
in
part,
I
want
to
know
everybody
that
is
communicating
to
our
elected
officials
and
so
I.
Can't
then
say:
oh
you
know,
I'm
not
going
to
show
that
you
know
Bob
and
Steve
are
communicating,
because
this
doesn't
look
to
be
City
business.
B
AJ
Can't
hear
you,
pursuant
to
section
3b
of
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act,
the
only
obligation
is
to
produce
the
information
to
the
requester.
That's
the
only
obligation,
everything
that
is
beyond
that
in
terms
of
opening
up
the
requests
to
for
public
viewing,
that's
above
and
beyond
what
is
required
of
the
FOIA
of
the
FOIA
statute
and
then
in
addition
to
that,
there's
exemptions
for
what
can
and
cannot
be
disclosed
on
the
foyer
under
Section
7,
and
it's
a
laundry
list
again
of
those
exemptions.
So
it's
voluminous
and
it
depends
on
the
situation
and.
B
Would
think
that
again,
if
we
have
a
situation
where
just
take
any
of
us,
our
emails
on
a
week
basis,
our
Freud
that's
putting
a
lot
of
confidence
in
our
system
here
to
make
sure
that
we
have
properly.
You
know,
redacted
everything
that
with
everything
that
we
can,
because
we're
gonna
release
it
publicly,
instead
of
just
to
the
requester
I've
got
a
lot
of
lights
up
here
and
I
want
to
get
around.
So
we
can
make
some
decisions
here.
Move
on
aldermen,
Fisk.
K
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
and
that's
it
that's
exactly
why
I
made
the
motion
that
we
have
a
backup
for
you
officer
and
the
law
department
on
page
32
and
I'm
I'm,
very
interested,
my
life's
an
open
book.
You
can
all
we
all
know
what
it
is,
but
I
am
interested
in
protecting
the
public.
I
have
a
letter
here
tonight
from
a
woman
in
my
ward,
who
is
concerned
about
the
possible
loss
of
private
contact
information,
because
the
state
of
Illinois
is
requiring
that
owners
in
a
condominium
building
that
their
contact
information
be
released.
K
This
is
a
big
issue,
so,
on
page
32
it
says,
city
staff
suggests
keeping
current
procedures
in
place.
We're
responsive
records
are
given
only
to
the
requester
and
not
published
to
the
general
public.
This
is
different
than
the
policy
being
foot
put
forth
by
the
city
clerk,
which
releases
all
for
your
records
to
the
public
72
hours
after
they
are
fulfilled,
with
the
exception
of
police
reports.
K
In
this
scenario,
the
illness
remains
on
the
requester
to
know
and
understand
that
their
request
will
be
made
public
and,
if
they
would
so
choose
to
have
it
remain
private.
They
would
have
to
contact
the
city
clerk
to
make
that
request.
So
if
you
forget
to
make
that
phone
call
or
whatever
that
information
is
out
there
and
I
think
that
this
is
I
would
be
IV.
K
Support
next
request:
there's
no
question
about
that,
but
I
just
don't
think
the
public
understands
this
and
I
think
that
we're
putting
we're
making
people's
lives
more
difficult
and
possibly
embarrassing
and
intrusive,
by
going
forth
with
this,
without
until
the
software
allows
for
a
box
to
be
placed
on
that
on
that
page,
where
you
can
make
that
request
that
you
do
not
want
that
information
to
be
made
public
but
doing
it.
The
other
way
I
think
at
this
point
is
is
it
is
not
the
right
thing
to
do.
Thank.
AE
Mr.
mayor
I
support
a
hundred
percent
alderman
Wolfson.
This
motion,
but
I
wondering
if
Alvin
Olson,
would
support
separating
the
motion
and
excluding
number
eight
from
your
motion
because
I
support
making
public
at
the
request
of
a
requester
the
disclosure
statements
of
boards
and
commissions,
but
yeah.
M
G
AE
G
Sadly,
mine
is
probably
pretty
much
like
the.
I
G
N
G
So
I
think
that
you
know
I
so
I
think
we're
in
agreement
on
that.
In
that
concept,
is
it
my
turn
sure
you?
It
is
your
turn
all
right.
Thank
you
that
you
know
the
the
stuff
that
we're
talking
about
has
nothing
to
do
with
how
the
government's
operating
okay,
when
you
do,
if
you
have
an
insurance
claim,
because
a
spouse
has
died
or
your
child
has
been
in
a
horrifying
accident
or
it
just
to
the
mayor's
point.
G
People
write
to
us
with
a
lot
of
you
know
different
personal
things
that
are
going
on
in
their
lives
that
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
government.
A
lot
of
questions
about
this
terrible
thing
happened
to
me
who
can
I
reach
out
to
so
the
idea
that,
because
someone's
put
employer
requests
in
if
you
provide
it
to
the
requester,
my
hope
would
be.
Is
that
if
they
got
that
information,
just
basic
humanity
would
dictate
that
they
wouldn't
go
out
and
put
that
on
the
Internet.
G
B
A
In
range
with
the
vote,
but
what
I
will
say
is
that
you
know
if
this
is
a
major
concern.
Folks,
I
hope
I've
mentioned
to
several
members
on
this
Dyess
about
the
daily
crime
bulletin.
If
we're
very
concerned
about,
if
we're
truly
very
concerned
about
embarrassing
or
shaming
residents,
we
have
a
daily
crime
bulletin
that
lists
the
names
addresses
and
ages
and
charges
of
folks
who
haven't
been
convicted
of
a
crime,
and
it
goes
it's
on
our
website
going
back
to
2003,
it's
email
blasted
out
to
hundreds,
if
not
thousands,
of
people
every
single
day.
I
A
B
B
Excuse
me,
okay,
that
was,
it
was
seconded
that
was
a
seconded
by
by
alternative.
He
didn't
accept
yeah
alderman,
Rainey's
suggestions.
So
this
is
the
motion
on
the
floor:
accept
and
approve
as
the
FOIA
policy
page
34
through
38,
removing
paragraph
8
city
clerk.
Could
you
take
the
roll
please
aldermen.
B
C
Mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
so
we're
back
to
the
main
ordinance
the
resolution
for
the
budget,
which
begins
on
page
thirty,
twenty
five
of
your
packet
with
the
one
adjustment
only
the
new
number
is
which
is
in
the
second,
should
be
the
third,
whereas
we're
placing

would
go
to

for

eight
mayor
Haggerty.
C
You
had
expressed
an
interest
in
removing
some
additional
dollars
from
this
dealing
with
the
library,
as
I
think
everyone
knows
that
the
council
is
not
required
to
adopt
the
library's
budget
under
Illinois
law
over
the
last
several
years.
The
library
budget
has
been
included
in
this
annual
resolution
so
that
there's
a
consolidated
budget
amount
for
all
funds
in
the
city.
C
If
the
council
would
so
choose
to
remove
the
debt
service
and
capital
funds
186
and
187,
that
could
be
done,
we
would
recommend
leaving
the
libraries
of
general
fund
the,
but
will
the
185
is
part
of
this,
because
we
have
to
transmit
this
resolution
with
all
of
the
levies
to
the
county,
and
while
the
library
boards
of
approval
of
the
budget
should
be
sufficient,
we
have
never
relied
on
that.
We've
always
relied
on
this,
and
so
we
would
recommend
that
we,
if,
mr.
B
Mean
the
council,
the
council
tonight
agreed
that
in
one
of
our
upcoming
upcoming
meetings,
hopefully
in
January,
we,
the
library,
come
and
talk
about
their
can
talk
about
their
capital
budget.
My
conversation
with
the
city
manager
earlier
was
just
concern
over
the
fact
that,
again
among
if
you're
on
page
27,
we've
got
they're
not
only
operating
budget
that
was
approved
this
evening
and
on
the
levy
for
that,
but
the
186
and
187,
which
is
the
debt
service
and
then
the
library
capital,
which
was
the
tenth,
which
was
the
ten
million.
B
My
concern
was
just
that
this,
this
body
has
not
had
an
opportunity
to
really
drill
into
that
number
and
get
comfortable,
particularly
relative
to
other
capital
expenses
and
projects.
So
I.
You
know
the
tradition.
I
guess
has
been
that
it
has
been
included
in
this
in
this
budget
and
if
we're
all,
you
know,
understand
what
we're
gonna
be
doing
in
January's,
we
drill
down
I'm,
comfortable
I,
guess
just
leaving
it
the
way.
The
way
it
is
as
long
as
folks
up
here
understand
we're
gonna
talk
about
that.

some

recommending
the

doesn't
sound
like
that's
going
to
happen,
but
I'll
move
approval
anyway.
I
I
appreciate
that
this
is
going
to
make
it
easier
for
us
as
a
city
to
collect
the
tax
from
the
owner
of
the
Airbnb.
However,
I
will
not
support
this,
because
I
still
feel
like
we
unjustly
are
taxing
the
individual
Airbnb
while
not
texting
our
commercial
air
bein
for
our
commercial
DMV's.
Okay,
thank.
B
B
AJ
B
B
AE
AE
A
B
B
K
I
F
B
K
But
I
do
think
you
in
order
for
us,
as
I
said
at
the
Human
Services
Committee
years
ago.
In
order
for
us
to
effectively
address
this
subject.
In
my
opinion,
we
need
to
do
a
lot
of
trust
building
in
the
community,
or
else
we're
just
going
to
have
people
tune
out
the
way
that
they've
tuned
out
in
the
past-
and
we
just
can't
do
that
anymore-
we
really
have
got
to
have
got
to
be
more
forward-thinking
and
inclusive
in
the
way
that
we
approach,
especially
this
issue.
K
I
Also
agree
with
with
alderman
Fisk.
My
other
concern
is
that
and
I
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me.
I'm
sorry,
but
I
think
only
one
person
on
this
Commission
live
south
of
Main,
Street
and
I
would
have
liked
to
see
the
Commission
made
up
of
people
from
you
know.
Different
neighborhoods
I
think
we
have
two
people
from
you
know
we.
K
I
B
Right
Thank,
You,
alderman,
Fleming
I'll,
just
say
as
the
person
that
put
folks
forward,
we
had
a
wonderful
group
of
people
that
applied
to
be
on
the
equity
and
empowerment
Commission.
We
had
close
to
30
30
people
and
you
know:
I
worked
hard,
I
work
closely
with
Pat
FMR,
empowerment
and
equity
coordinator
to
look
closely
at
all
of
these.
B
So
I
think
we've
got
a
good
group
here
in
these
nine
I
appreciate
everyone
that
applied.
It's
always
tough
whenever
we're
putting
people
forward,
because
everyone
is
really
qualified
to
be
on
here,
but
I
think
this
is
a
good
group
initial
group
to
kick
off
this
really
important
commission.
So
seeing
no
no
lights,
could
we
go
ahead
and
take
a
roll
on
this
since
I
know,
we
have
some
differences
of
opinion,
City
Clerk.
AE
K
A
B
AI
On
behalf
of
the
housing
and
homelessness,
Commission
I
would
like
to
ask
the
council
for
their
approval
of
basically
an
ex
officio
member
of
the
housing
and
homelessness
Commission.
To
also
be
part
of
this
subcommittee.
The
Commission
was
very
involved
in
the
original
passage.
Well,
I
guess
the
revision
of
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
a
couple
of
years
ago,
their
current
powers
and
duties,
as
approved
in
the
revised
description
of
the
Commission
tonight,
talks
about
providing
guidance
on
the
implementation
of
this
ordinance.
AI
And
so
there
just
seems
to
me
that's
a
very
important
voice
to
have
at
the
table
to
talk
about
to
be
part
of
the
discussion,
but
they're
not
asking
the
Commission
is
not
asking
to
have
yet
another
official
member
of
the
committee,
but
rather
just
to
be
more
than
just
a
member
of
the
public
watching
sorry.
So.
B
B
K
B
B
Yeah
on
the
committee
so
far,
besides
the
all,
we
have
the
aldermen
okay,
the
four
of
you
that
are
on
here
and
I'll,
be
pressed
to.
Remember,
presume,
you
guys
all
know,
and
then
we
add
it
to
that:
Allen
Robinson,
okay,
who
the
Robinson
family,
owns
a
lot
of
apartments
and
other
things
here
in
Evanston,
Kent
Swanson,
who
is
a
developer
and
also
sort
of
a
real
estate
finance
person,
and
then
the
the
third
one
was
Joleen.
B
That's
it!
That's
that
that's
that's
what
we
got.
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
that's
the
city
manager
to
get
have
staff
set
that
up
so
as
soon
as
we
all
get
back
from
the
holidays,
we
can
have
that
first
meeting.
Thank
you,
okay,
so
we
need
to
take
a
we
did.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
these
two.
Okay,
all
in
favor.
AE
AE
AE
B
AE
I
want
to
say
that
I
can't
think
of
anything
more
disappointing
than
Evanston
Township,
High,
School,
administration
and
Ward.
Tonight,
I,
don't
know
what
happened
tonight,
but
they
had
before
them
tonight.
The
most
anti
inclusionary
proposal
to
require
it
require
the
most
insensitive
I'm
sure
unconstitutional
provision
to
require
permission
for
every
single
board
member
to
get
permission
from
some
administrative
person
to
allow
any
any
transfer
of
of
emails
to
a
constituent.
AE
Absolutely
absolutely
the
most
horrible
thing:
I
had
a
conversation
with
Jonathan
Bowen,
who
thought
he's
going
to
do
everything
just
anyway
that
plus
they're
intruding
on
our
zoning
and
you
all
supporting
it
is
just
just
more
than
I
can
hardly
tolerate.
It's
not
been
a
good
night
for
me
on
that
score,
but
congratulations
on
the
budget.
I
think
that
we
did
a
nice
job
on
the
budget
until
the
very
end
and
I
think
people
wimped
out
on
the
city
clerk's
budget,
but
that's
okay.
AE
I
Right
I
have
a
couple
things:
I
would
like
to
make
a
referral.
I
would
like
the
public
works
department
to
prepare
our
report
of
the
calls
they
have
gotten
in
2017
via
three
one,
one
for
sidewalk
complaints
and
I'd
like
to
know
what
happened
to
them
got
it
so
that
goes
to
a
P
and
W
I.
Think
all
right,
perfect
or
a
public
where
I'm
not
on
that
committee,
but.
AE
I
I
You
oh
wait:
I'm
not
done
I
also
have
a
thank
you
to
the
Ninth
Ward
residence.
We
had
a
holiday
party
and
we
collected
enough
coats
to
distribute
coast
to
jaw's,
Oakton
chute
and
to
the
adult
homeless.
Shelter
and
I
have
a
trunk
full
of
blankets
that
are
going
to
the
shelter
tomorrow.
So
we
were
able
to
give
every
kid
who
requested
a
coat
a
coat
in
three
schools,
so
I'm,
very
proud
of
the
Ninth
Ward
I
know
it's
great
president.
I
All
right
I
have
one
more
quick
thing
at.
Thank
you
to
the
police
department
in
North
Shore
towing.
There
was
a
lady
who
was
93
years
old,
still
driving,
who
had
a
flat
tire,
and
some
citizens
had
tried
to
help
her
and
they
were
unable
and
I
came
over
and
all
of
my
automatic
super
powers
and
called
the
police
and
they
sent
over
North
Shore
and
he
changed
a
tire
in
like
five
minutes
and
didn't
charge
her.
So
I
want
to
thank
them
for
doing
that.
I
K
We
all
have
that
to
look
forward
to
I,
can
hardly
wait
till
I'm,
93
I
think
that's
great
okay,
so
on
December
19th
at
7
p.m.
there's,
the
Nu
City
Committee
meeting
here
in
the
all
dramatic
library
so
come
to
that
to
all
of
my
colleagues
and
everyone
out
there
and
staff
and
Marty
Merry
Christmas
and
Happy
New
Year,
happy
Kwanzaa,
Happy,
Hanukkah
I
know
them
all
I
don't
need
any
coaching!
Yes,
happy
Chanukah
and
all
that
good
stuff
to
everyone.
Thanks
so
much.
J
Ultimately,
all
right,
first
I'd
like
to
wish
our
former
mayor
Morton
a
very
happy
99
years
old
on
this
planet,
yeah
yeah
99.
So
there's
always
a
question
between
if
she's,
96
or
said
she
officially
99
this
month,
still
incredibly
sharp
an
amazing
example
of
service
in
this
town,
and
we
wish
her
many
many
more
years
to
come.
This
Thursday
December
14th
Thursday
in
our
usual
place
districts,
65
I
plan
on
hosting
our
last
board
meeting
for
the
year.
G
Happy
Holidays
to
everybody
and
I
really
want
to
give
my
sincere
appreciation
to
the
staff
who
did
a
great
job
through
the
budget
process
of
compiling
information.
Putting
things
together,
I
think
alderman
Simmons
mentioned
in
looking
at
what
other
communities
are
doing,
we're
doing
an
awful
lot
of
things
well
really
really
well
and
talking
to
other
community
leaders.
I
recently
realized
how
well
we're
doing
some
of
these
things.
But
I
also
want
to
thank
all
of
you
who
are
up
here
with
me
and
also
all
the
minimum
Alderman
win.
G
This
has
been
a
very
thoughtful
and
conscientious
conversation
about
the
budget.
I'm
grateful
for
that.
I
think
that
we
collectively
have
focused
on
people
not
on
things
and
that's
I
think
a
priority.
It's
the
holiday
season,
so
I
meant
to
go
home
and
get
my
Grinch
tie,
but
I
couldn't
quite
make
it
but
I
like
the
way
the
Grinch
wraps
it
up
with
it's,
not
about
the
bows
and
the
ribbons.
It's
about
it's
about
the
people
being
together
and
working
together
and
I.
G
AH
AH
We
have
our
fifth
Ward
meeting,
which
is
our
holiday
party.
It's
going
to
be
a
great
time.
We
have
a
light
agenda
and
we,
the
party,
will
start
at
7
o'clock
until
8:30.
We
have
a
very
generous
sponsor
in
downtown
Evanston,
as
well
as
Northwestern
University,
so
I'm
hopeful
I
have
junior
high
school
kids
on
my
heart,
I'm,
hoping
that
junior
high
school
kids
in
the
ward
will
come
and
bring
your
families,
and
we
have
a
very
special
gift
for
you
from
downtown
Evanston
and
from
Northwestern
University
as
well
as
other
downtown
Evanston
businesses.
B
And
I
just
want
I
just
have
a
big
thanks
to
to
the
media
that
covers
our
City
Council
meeting
to
you,
Bill
Smith,
and
to
you
Sean
Jones,
and
to
you
Dan
coin,
and
what
you
do
on
Facebook
live.
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
people
out
there
that
appreciate
the
work
that
all
of
you
guys
do
and
and
a
big
thank
you
to
Kim
for
coming
to
your
very
first
City
Council
meeting
here
and
getting
up
today
and
speaking
and
in
suggesting
a
good
suggestion
to
the
council
so
welcome
to
Evanston.
Thank
you.
