B
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
City
Clerk
and
welcome
everybody
to
the
first
City
Council
meeting
of
the
the
2020
decade.
So
today
is
Monday,
January,
13th,
I,
hope
everybody
had
a
a
nice
break
from
our
last
meeting
in
December,
and
we
have
a
lots
of
lots
of
business
to
cover
this
evening
as
usual,
but
also
in
this
coming
year
in
2020.
So
first
first
off
a
couple
of
announcements
and
then
I
have
a
couple
proclamations
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
tonight.
A
First
announcement
is
just
kudos
to
the
Evanston
parks
department
in
the
facilities
department
for
the
work
that
they
did
doing:
interior
renovations
to
Fleetwood
Jourdain,
which
is
our
second
most-used
Community
Center.
There
was
a
wonderful
celebration
of
that.
This
past
Saturday
many
people
from
the
community
came
out.
The
contractors
came
out
and
it
was
great
to
see
Fleetwood
get
a
facelift
that
really
was
based
on
the
input
from
all
the
residents
and
people
that
use
the
center.
So
thank
you
for
everybody's
hard
work
on
on
that.
A
We
have
lots
going
on
with
our
community
centers
around
Evanston
and
I
know
we'll
be
celebrating
robert
crown
later
this
year
as
well,
and
all
the
work
on
that.
Secondly,
this
weekend
is
a
celebration
of
Martin,
Luther
King
and
the
civil
rights
movement
in
all
of
the
work
that
has
been
done
is
still
being
done
in
this
country
and
in
this
community.
A
A
Memorial
to
celebrate
the
life
of
Charlie
Vernon
yesterday
and
hundreds
of
people
came,
was
at
the
levy
Center
and
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know,
Charlie
was
a
wonderful
individual
and
he
was
the
husband
of
Mary
Beth
Schroeder,
who
has
been
very
involved
in
this
community
with
the
Evanston
Community
Foundation
and
after
a
long
illness,
Charlie
passed
away
just
before
Christmas,
and
it
was
a
beautiful
service
and
ceremony
for
him
yesterday.
So
you
know
our
prayers
and
thoughts
are
with
the
family
and
all
that
that
Charlie
has
done
for
this
community.
A
Last
I've
got
two
proclamations
today
and
we
have
folks
here
with
both
organizations.
So
the
first
one
I'm
going
to
do
is
a
proclamation
which
is
in
recognition
of
a
National
Day
of
racial
healing
right.
We
talk
a
lot
about
race
in
this
community
and
equity
in
this
community
and
we're
doing
a
lot.
Okay,
we,
we
are
not
a
perfect
community,
but
we're
doing
a
lot
of
things
well
and
we
are
work
in
progress
and
we
continue
to
work
towards
racial
healing
here
and
people
in
this
community
elsewhere
in
the
country.
A
A
C
C
So
I'm
really
grateful
for
the
work
that
the
equity
and
empowerment
Commission
has
done
to
support
this
and
and
to
use
this
as
one
of
the
tools
that
they'll
be.
You
know
encouraging
people
to
use
as
we
move
forward
in
this
community.
As
you
say,
we
talk
about
it
a
lot
we
need
to
keep
moving.
We
need
to
be
really
talking
not
just
with
the
people
that
we
already
know,
but
talking
to
people
that
we
don't
know
so
I'm
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
say
this.
C
A
A
A
Thank
You
Eileen
and
since
since
I'm
down
here,
I
figured
I'd
just
stay
down
here.
The
second
Proclamation
this
evening
that
I'd
like
to
present
is
to
the
Zeta
Phi
Beta
Sorority,
on
their
celebration
of
100
years.
We
have
lots
of
lots
of
Zetas
late
Zetas
here
in
the
house
in
the
house
tonight,
I
am
NOT,
going
to
I
am
NOT
going
to
read
the
entire
proclamation,
but
I
do
want
to
read
just
one
but
one
section
of
it
just
so.
A
You
have
a
sense
of
the
impact
that
the
sororities
and
fraternities
have
in
a
community,
I
mean-
and
this
is
over
a
hundred
years.
So
since
its
chartering
in
12
2012,
the
Evanston
Graduate
chapter
of
Omega,
Phi
Zeta,
has
demonstrated
outstanding
community
service
in
local
school
outreach
and
programming,
support
of
and
partnerships
with,
faith-based
communities,
nonprofits
professional
organizations
and
benevolent
entities
that
are
part
of
the
fabric
of
the
Evanston
community.
A
These
works
include
monthly
workshops
and
services
to
senior
citizens
residing
in
prim
towers,
scholarships
for
high
school
seniors,
sponsoring
participants
through
Evanston's
unity
and
African
American
youth
achievement
award
ceremony,
which
is
coming
up
by
the
way,
supporting
YWCA
initiatives
such
as
the
women's
shelter
and
race,
against
hate,
supporting
and
serving
at
and
preparing
food
for
local
soup
kitchens,
adopting
Mason
Park
as
part
of
the
adoptive
Park
program,
as
well
as
assisting
the
local
branch
of
the
NAACP.
So
lots
of
important
work
that
this
group
has
done.
A
So
it
is
my
pleasure,
as
the
the
mayor
of
Evanston
to
proclaim
January
16
2020
as
Zeta
Phi
Beta
Sorority
Incorporated
day
in
the
city
of
Evanston,
encourage
all
to
extend
our
best
wishes
and
gratitude
to
the
members
of
this,
the
organization
for
their
lasting
services
to
our
community.
So
congratulations,
ladies.
When
you
come
on
up
here.
A
A
Okay,
so
is
that
all
so.
B
A
E
I
just
had
to
quickly
recognize
I
realized.
The
organization
is
much
larger,
but
I
do
want
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much
to
the
three
women
and
the
organization
that
is
the
second
Ward
residents
and
all
the
wonderful
work
that
you
do,
particularly
with
your
support
with
race
against
hate
and
that's
when
I
really
see
you
show
up
so
I
know
individually.
You
all
are
very
committed
to
the
community
as
well.
One
of
our
city
staff,
Indira
Perkins,
is
also
a
member
of
the
organization,
so
I
think
we're
one
of
two
organism.
E
E
F
A
Five
names
they
put
on
this
paper
paper,
so
I
apologize
for
not
when
I
was
up
there.
All
right
changes
in
the
air
here
in
Evanston,
both
in
this
room.
If
you
looked
around
something's
different,
that's
pretty
noticeable.
We
used
to
have
portrait
stuff
for
a
long
time
and
it
was
great
to
have
them
up
here
of
women,
female
leaders
here
in
Evanston
that
lined
this
room
for
quite
some
time,
and
now
we
have
some
different
art.
That's
up
here.
I
didn't
get
briefed
on
it
before
to
understand.
A
If
this
is
all
local
artists,
which
I
would
hope
it
is
so
lots
of
local
artists
up
there.
The
second
change
is
we're
gonna,
try
something
something
new
with
public
comment
in
the
time,
and
so
we
always
seem
to
have
a
challenge
right,
because
sometimes
we
divvy
it
up
and
we
figure
out
how
much
time
everybody
has-
and
it's
really
important
that
we
stay
within
that
time.
A
So
we
can
get
through
it
all
in
45
minutes,
which
is
what
the
council
designates
for
the
total
amount
of
time
for
public
comment,
but
also
so
we
can
be
respectful
to
the
other
people
that
are
behind
us
that
want
to
get
up
and
have
their
two
minutes
or
minute,
30
or
whatever
it
is
that
evening.
So
we
have
a
device.
Now,
that's
right
up
here
between
clerk
read
and
I
called
the
limit
timer.
Now
the
good
news
is
the
limit.
Timer
does
not.
A
You
know,
give
you
another
electric
shock:
okay,
when
you
get
there,
but
there's
apparently
a
light
there.
So,
when
you're
up
at
public
comment
the
limit
timer
and
we
get
to
set
it
up
here,
based
on
the
amount
of
time,
we
have
will
tell
you
when
your
time
is
up.
So
we
get
to
see
that
up
here
too.
So
when
it's
red,
it's
red,
it
means
it's
over
okay,
your
time
your
time
is
up,
and
then
we
got
to
move
to
the
to
the
next
one.
A
A
29
folks
signed
up
for
public
comment:
oh
okay,
perfect,
so
we've
already
set
the
timer
for
a
minute
35,
that's
very
specific,
as
many
of
you
know,
you
might
already
like
the
Lynne,
the
timer,
because
I
would
have
said
a
minute
there
and
called
it
a
day,
but
the
limit
timer
does
the
math
and
you
get
an
extra
five
seconds.
I
did
the
math.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
clear,
excellent
for
being
the
the
machine
itself
doesn't
do
we
have
to
depend
on
a
human
for
that?
A
B
H
H
Nichols
middle
school
and
I
am
in
eighth
grade.
I
am
currently
in
student
council
and
I
am
also
a
student
ambassador.
I
earn
honor,
oh
and
I
am
also
a
Girl
Scout
I
am
currently
a
cadet
rank
within
the
Girl
Scout
and
I'm
working
to
earn
myself
reward.
The
Silver
Award
is
a
project
that
to
create
for
my
community
that
will
that
is
valuable
and
will
last
for
many
years,
I
had
the
idea
to
work
with
the
city
of
Evanston
to
install
its
very
first
dog
park.
H
I
thought
I
was
going
to
have
to
start
from
scratch.
Thankfully,
Northwestern
University
recently
gave
a
very
generous
donation
to
the
city
of
Evanston
for
1
million
dollars,
which
included
80
thousand
dollars
for
a
dog
park
in
Evanston,
with
all
due
respect,
I'm
here
to
personally
ask
if
I
may
sit
on
the
advisory
board
or
planning
committee
for
the
dog
park.
Project
I
really
like
to
be
a
part
of
that
team.
I
feel
like
I
could
be
very
useful
on
this
project,
while
at
the
same
time
I
kids
will
learn
my
sober
award.
H
A
B
A
So
I
was
gonna,
say
Jordan,
just
send
me
an
email
and
I'm
gonna
connect
you
to
probably
the
the
parks
director
or
someone
else
here
in
the
in
the
organization
we'll
get
you
involved,
we'd
love
to
have
you
involved.
This
is
very
exciting.
We're
in
the
very
early
stages
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done,
but
it
would
be
a
great
project.
So
thank
you
for
coming
out.
Okay,
yes,.
E
A
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
good
evening
my
name
is
Robin
gable
and
I'm.
Your
state
representative,
serving
the
18th
district
I,
would
like
to
first
thank
city
council
for
welcoming
my
constituent
services
office
to
our
new
location
right
down
the
hall.
We
love
the
synergy
here
and
are
glad
to
be
in
such
a
convenient
location
for
our
constituents.
I
stand
before
you
tonight
in
staunch
support
of
the
Evanston
back
from
the
brink
anti-nuclear
resolution
calling
for
Congress
to
become
a
global
leader
in
the
effort
to
prevent
nuclear
war.
I,
remember
the
fear.
J
I
felt
growing
up
as
my
classmates
and
I
practiced,
hiding
under
our
desks.
Knowing
now
that,
should
a
bomb
have
headed
our
way
that
these
drills
would
not
have
protected
us
from
the
horrors
of
a
nuclear
blast.
Now
the
threat
of
nuclear
catastrophe
is
heightened.
Nine
countries
have
amassed
over
14,000
nuclear
weapons.
The
effects
of
climate
change
increased
the
likelihood
of
conflict
in
the
danger
of
nuclear
war.
J
We
know
that
the
use
of
a
fraction
of
the
global
nuclear
weapons
arsenal
would
have
devastatingly
irrevocable
consequences
to
our
planet
and
that
a
national
defense
strategy
based
on
nuclear
armament
decreases
rather
than
increases
our
national
security.
This
solution
is
a
strong
signal
to
our
federal
government
that
the
prohibition
of
nuclear
weapons
is
achievable,
necessary
and
urgent.
J
The
threat
of
nuclear
war
is
real.
Such
an
event
would
be
a
disaster
for
our
planet.
Urge
a
yes
vote
to
this
resolution.
I'm
also
going
to
present
a
resolution
like
this
to
the
state
I'm
done,
except
that
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
I
think
that
the
senior
housing
and
Howard
streets
a
great
idea
thank.
A
K
James
England
from
54
I
would
like
to
talk
about
the
1829
citizen,
I
think
if
you
guys
should
buy
it
and
then
make
it
a
watch
room
for
people
because
with
serious
citizens
who
walk
through
the
park,
if
if
they
have
to
go,
watch
them,
there's
no
watch
room
around
there.
So
thank
you
very
much
have
a
nice
day.
Thank
you.
L
Good
evening,
I'm
here
also
to
speak
in
support
of
the
nuclear
weapons
quote-unquote
back
from
the
brink
resolution
and
I'd
like
to
make,
with
my
time
very
clear
that
we
all
those
of
us
speaking
in
support
of
the
resolution,
are
here
to
ask
you
to
act
on
the
local
issue
of
nuclear
weapons.
We
know
that
Chicago
very
close
to
our
borders
here
in
Evanston
is
one
of
the
top
targets
in
the
unimaginable
event
of
a
nuclear
exchange.
L
That
would
involve
the
United
States
and
in
Evanston
here
there
would
be
no
medical
response
that
we
could
possibly
provide
in
the
event
of
a
nuclear
exchange
near
our
borders,
and
so
we'd
like
to
ask
you
this
evening.
Please
do
the
one
thing
that
you
can
do
as
city
councillors
here
in
Evanston
and
pass
this
resolution
to
make
it
clear
where
Evanston
stands.
Additionally,
more
than
22
million
dollars
Lee
evanston
every
year,
and
that
will
continue
for
the
foreseeable
future
for
nuclear
weapons
expenses
and
so
pleased
with
this
resolution.
L
Take
a
step
again,
though,
that
we
and
you
can
take
and
take
responsibility
for
these
dollars,
make
it
clear
that
while
we
may
not
have
a
direct
say
over
where
the
dollars
go,
we
do
have
something
to
say
about
them
and
we
would
like
to
see
policy
change.
I
would
close
just
quickly
by
saying
when
I
made
these
words
to
the
Human
Services
Committee
about
a
month
ago,
we
said
that
the
federal
government
is
watching
jan
Schakowsky.
L
A
M
The
speakers
who
have
spoken
before
have
done
an
incredibly
wonderful
job,
so
I'm
not
going
to
belabor
the
point
I
just
want
to
mention
that
president
Trump
withdrew
the
United
States
from
the
joint
comprehensive
plan
of
action
having
to
do
with
nuclear
weapons.
It
definitely
put
us
on
a
more
combative
footing
with
Iran
if
nothing
in
the
last
two
weeks
haven't
shown
us
that
you
know
this
is
not
a
good
time
to
be
poking.
M
A
N
You
for
listening
to
us
on
this
important
issue
of
nuclear
ban
I
want
to
take
most
of
my
time
to
really
introduce
a
special
guest
who
was
here
mr.
hero,
Kazu
Miyazaki
who's,
a
professor
at
Northwestern,
and
has
served
as
peace,
correspondent
for
the
city
of
Nagasaki
since
19
or
since
2018,
and
is
getting
involved
with
his
parish
on
peace
and
justice
issues.
He
has
asked
the
mayor
of
Nagasaki
to
come
to
speak
at
Northwestern
on
may
4th
of
this
year,
and
so
we'll
have
more
details
on
that
event.
N
N
We
have
seen
in
the
past
couple
weeks
and
human
error
caused
the
shooting
down
of
an
airline,
Ukraine
airline,
killing
176
non-combatants,
and
we
know
that
human
error
can
enter
through
poor
intelligence,
false
alarms,
etc.
So,
in
addition
to
what
other
people
have
said
about
the
about
this
cause,
I
want
to
highlight
that
problem
as
well.
Thank
you
very
much
great.
A
O
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
am
going
to
read
some
of
the
community
partners
in
Evanston
that
our

O
P
Hello
again,
my
name
is
David
Fisher
My
partner
Liam
has
been
taken
home
by
his
mother
because
it's
way
past
his
bedtime,
but
because
of
Liam
I,
definitely
support
the
non
nuclear
proliferation
resolution
as
well,
but
I'm
here
for
some
a
little
more
mundane.
That
is
the
condo
deconversion
moratorium.
P
I
appreciate
that
in
the
subcommittee
it
was
taken
from
six
months
down
to
three
months.
However,
I
think
that
even
at
three
months
that
doesn't
really
solve
the
problem,
but
just
also
then
creates
some
challenges
for,
as
a
sudden
subcommittee,
I
represent
I'm
on
the
board
of
the
207
pool
of
our
condominium,
we're
an
8
unit
condo.
We
have
been
working
diligently
for
months
to
actually
get
a
condo
D
conversion
process
moving
forward
in
our
building,
and
we
think
we've
finally
got
it
set.
P
But
if
we
work
together
as
a
group,
we
can
be
made
whole
and
in
fact
we
have
a
number
of
owners
in
the
building
who
are
currently
renting
because
they
had
children
they
moved
out
but
could
not
sell
because
of
the
kind
of
market
and
I
definitely
think
there's
value
in
looking
at
the
the
conversion
process
and
putting
in
more
stringent
or
Atlee
the
best
process
is
to
make
everybody
safe
and
secure.
I
mean
this
is
real
estate.
It's
our
home.
P
A
Q
35
years
been
active
and
involved
with
youth
development
and
I'm
here
in
support
of
the
youth
and
young
adult
division
I've,
you
know
again:
cars
cafes
board,
president
cars
cafe
and
a
mentor
I've
been
involved
in
the
fam
youth
basketball
program
for
35
years
as
a
as
a
coach
and
mentor.
So
I
have
seen
firsthand
the
benefits
of
this
program
of
the
of
the
youth
and
young
adult
division.
Q
Now
this
is
my
third
time
coming
here
and
having
these
same
discussions,
you
know
with
you
all.
This
silence
has
been
pretty
much
pretty
deafening
and
we
just
haven't
really
heard
much
at
all,
so
I
mean
really
I've
heard
support
from
Alderman
about
this
division,
but
I
haven't
heard
real
support
from
the
city
on
this
program.
Q
I
know
they've
been
in
budgetary
flux
for
the
last
18
months
and
so
I'm
just
here
to
really
talk
about
the
importance
of
that
program,
and
that
was
good
for
our
young
people
and
how
was
is
great
for
our
community.
So
that's
important,
so
I
just
want
to
say
publicly
I
would
love
to
hear
something
publicly
of
support.
You
know
for
this
program.
Thank
you.
A
D
You
mr.
mayor
I,
just
wanted
to
you,
know,
agree
and
reiterate
our
commitment
to
the
youth
and
young
adult
program.
We've
it's
fully
funded
for
the
year.
There's
no
discussion
at
all
about
reducing
it.
You
know
we
want
to
continue
those
services.
We
value
those
services.
Those
good
services
will
continue
to
be
provided.
There
will
be
an
announcement
coming
out
this
week
about
a
new
person
who
has
been
named
to
that
position,
so
that
I
think
will
be
out
perhaps
tomorrow
or
on
Wednesday.
But
let
there
be
no
mistake:
the
program
will
continue.
R
Neighbors
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
thank
you
to
city
clerk,
Reed
and
members
of
City
Council
I'm
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
share
just
a
few
words
in
support
of
the
nuclear
disarmament
resolution
in
the
late
1980s
I
served
as
a
pastor
of
a
church
in
Princeton
just
two
blocks
away.
There
was
an
official
home
that
housed
the
Coalition
for
nuclear
disarmament.
It
was
very
big
in
the
1980s
and
1990s
the
executive
director,
Reverend
Robert
Moore
became
a
dear
friend.
This
was
at
a
time
when
the
threat
of
nuclear
war
was
very
real.
R
This
was
at
a
time
when
talk
of
stocking
nuclear
arms
and
proliferation
was
not
just
talk,
but
it
was
happening
between
the
two
worlds.
Super
powers,
Reverend
Moore
and
I,
often
went
back
and
forth
about
the
urgent
issues
of
the
day.
I
would
talk
about
local
issues,
crime
and
violence
and
the
horrible
epidemic
of
crack
cocaine
in
the
heart
area,
I
mentioned
the
rise
of
hiv/aids
and
its
overpowering
devastation
in
minority
communities.
Then
in
1991,
I
eulogized,
ten
young
adults
between
the
ages
of
27
and
40
within
a
six
month
span.
R
All
of
them
were
heroin
users
who
were
given
aids
through
shared
needles.
This
in
a
town
with
us
than
25,000
people,
Reverend
Moore,
would
look
at
me
with
empathetic
eyes
and
genuine
compassion,
but
he
would
always
say
yes
what
Reverend
neighbors
all
life
will
end
if
we
do
not
demand
an
end
to
stockpiling
nuclear
arms,
and
then
we
do
seeing
those
that
exist
these
thirties.
Here,
30
years
later,
we
face
the
same
crucial
juxtaposition
in
our
world,
local
problems.
We
set
us
and
they
continue.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
being
good
role
model
to
with
our
news.
Thank
You,
Ally,
Ally
Harned,
all
right
Ally
are
you
here,
come
on
up
Beth
stare,
then
Lisa
degli,
a
Tony
and
then
we'll
have
Gail
Shatner.
S
Good
evening,
honorable
everybody
I'm
Ally
Harned
from
the
second
Ward
I,
agree
with
mayor
haggerty's
statement
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting.
That
Evanston
is
a
community
that
is
doing
some
things
with
the
goal
of
working
on
promoting
equity
and
racial
healing,
and
that
we
have
a
long
way
to
go.
If
we
are
truly
committed
to
the
work
of
dismantling
systemic
racism
and
oppression,
we
have
some
excellent
opportunities
right
now
to
accelerate
the
process
right
here
in
the
city
of
Evanston.
S
First,
we
must
make
right
the
wrong
of
the
termination
of
Kevin
Brown
City
Council
must
fulfill
their
public
pledge
to
support
and
strengthen
the
youth
and
young
adult
division.
Also,
there
must
be
a
racial
equity
audit
of
staff
operations
as
soon
as
possible
by
a
neutral
third
party
and
not
by
the
city's
own
staff.
S
Also,
the
Evanston
voter
initiative
is
an
excellent
opportunity
to
add
to
the
legislative
process
here
in
Evanston,
where
councilmembers
will
have
an
additional
way
to
receive
feedback
from
your
constituents
through
citizen
initiated
ballot
initiatives,
we
will
have
lots
to
say
about
how
all
the
benefits
of
voting
YES
in
the
March
availab
at
first.
We
must
secure
our
rightful
place
on
the
ballot
by
overcoming
an
objection
that
is
attempting
to
keep
the
referendum
off
the
ballot,
which
would
disenfranchise
the
entire
loved
Evanston
electorate.
S
It
is
fitting
that
the
next
part
of
the
electoral
Board
hearing
is
this
Wednesday
January
15th.
It
is
the
birthday
of
dr.
Martin,
Luther
King
jr.,
whose
life
was
dedicated
to
civil
rights,
including
the
democratically
essential
right
to
vote.
I
would
like
to
read
a
quote
from
the
electoral
Board
hearing
of
December
12th
2016
former
Evanston
mayor
Tisdale,
in
introducing
the
beginning
of
the
electoral
board
hearings.
When
now
mayor,
Haggerty
and
now
Clerk
davon
Reed
were
both
facing
objections
to
their
candidacy.
Evanston
has
a
long
tradition
of
respecting
and
promoting
ballot
access
am
I
done.
A
T
Hi
Beth
stair
Ninth
Ward.
Thank
you
for
your
service
to
the
Evanston
community.
In
the
spirit
of
racial
healing,
we
need
to
acknowledge
that
the
community
is
hurting.
The
community
is
hurting
over
city
manager's
actions
against
Kevin
Brown
and
the
youth
and
young
adult
division.
My
underlining
underlying
concern
and
what
I
hear
in
the
community
is
about
the
fairness
with
respect
to
treatment
of
a
city
staff
and
how
the
city's
treatment
impacts
the
people
served,
especially
our
youth
in
the
past,
and
even
tonight,
you've
made
a
public
pledge
to
support
this
division.
T
Please
share
an
outline
how
you
intend
to
strengthen
and
empower
this
division,
not
just
keep
it
funded,
but
empower
it
strengthen
it.
Please
conduct
a
comprehensive
equity,
racial
equity
audit
of
all
staff
operations
across
city
departments
to
identify
and
repair
systemic
problems
of
disproportion.
T
Disproportionate
treatment
of
staff
operations
is
imperative
that
the
equity
audit
is
conducted
by
a
neutral
third
party
and
not
by
the
city's
own
staff.
I
can't
come
to
every
city
meeting,
so
those
of
you
on
the
election
board.
Please
accept
my
comments
now.
Please
do
not
support
attempts
to
support
voters,
voices
I,
believe
you
support
democracy
and
a
strong
and
active
voter
base.
I
hope
the
Election
Board
makes
the
correct
decision
and
allows
the
voter
evanston
voter
initiative
petition
to
be
on
the
ballot
in
March.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
U
Mayor
hello,
council
members,
thank
you
for
having
me
tonight.
My
name
is
Lisa
Dillon,
Tony
and
I'm
representing
Evanston
made
most
recently.
It
was
the
recipient
of
the
mayor's
Award
for
the
Arts.
We
are
a
nonprofit
organization
that
works
to
connect
Evanston
artists
with
the
public
at
large
through
programming,
professional
development
and
events.
As
you
have
noticed,
the
walls
are
new.
You
are
looking
at
12
exhibiting
artists
that
we've
invited
to
show
on
these
walls.
Thank
you
very
much.
Paulina
martinez
was
key
in
making
this
happen.
U
Essentially,
every
six
months
we
are
going
to
do
a
call
of
art
from
the
300
members
who
are
part
of
our
organization,
all
of
them
visual
artists,
either
living
or
working
in
Evanston.
The
theme
of
this
show
was
work
that
was
inspired
by
Evanston's
natural
beauty.
This
will
be
up
for
six
months
and
it
is
x
per
fect
lee
for
art
for
Earth
Month,
which
happens
in
April.
It
will
be
a
citywide
curatorial
exhibition
of
art,
celebrating
the
50th
anniversary
of
art
or
Earth
Day.
U
Yes,
sorry,
essentially,
all
of
the
art
that
you're
looking
at
is
more
information
is
available
on
our
website.
At
Evanston
made
org
and
it
will
be
up
until
June
and
at
that
point
we
will
rotate
it
with
another
12
artists.
So
if
you
want
more
information,
there's
little
fliers
along
the
wall,
we
will
also
make
more
robust
signage
as
I
sit
here.
It
looks
a
little
bit
sparse,
but
we
appreciate
the
chance
to
curate
the
walls.
It's
a
wonderful
opportunity
for
our
artists
and,
like
I,
said
every
six
months,
there
will
be
twelve
more.
U
V
V
Fairness
and
civil
rights,
certainly
the
genius
of
Kevin's
leadership,
was
his
ability
and,
by
extension,
his
teams
to
take
a
holistic
approach
to
young
people,
mentoring
them
in
meeting
them,
where
they're
at
the
process
of
replacing
Kevin
should
have
integrity,
respectful
and
worthy
of
the
youth
and
young
adults.
Served
I
also
urge
you
to
authorize
and
fully
fund
a
racial
equity
audit
by
a
neutral
third
party,
the
recent
history
of
exits
of
well-respected
and
highly
placed
civil
city
staff.
All
black
is
alarming.
Kevin
Brown
is
only
the
latest.
V
The
government
Alliance
on
race
and
equity
is
an
appropriate
national
resource
that
Evanston
could
join
I'd
like
to
just
close
by
saying
that
what
better
message
can
you
send
to
the
people
of
Evanston,
especially
its
youth,
that
the
City
Council
views?
Racial
equity
is
part
and
parcel
of
a
city
commitment
to
reparations?
Thank
you
thank.
W
And
again,
I'm
here,
on
speaking
in
regards
to
mr.
Kevin
Brown
being
a
resident
of
Everson
and
having
several
family
members
murdered
in
Everson
and
I'll
change,
it
was
not
three.
There
were
two
murdered
in
Everson,
one
that
lived
in
Everson
but
was
murdered
in
Lincoln
wood,
and
she
had
three
youths
at
the
time
that
I'm
sure,
Kevin
and
the
youth
division
could
have
worked
with
I
was
very
glad
and
proud
of
the
work
being
done
by
the
youth
division
and
mr.
W
Brown's
involvement
with
the
you,
our
crime
rate
due
to
community
our
Police
Department
and
mr.
Brown's
involvement.
There
has
been
a
great
improvement.
It's
said
that
his
reinstatement
did
not
occur
before
his
acquiring
the
legal
resident
representation.
All
the
money
that's
being
paid
to
those
being
wrongly
fired
by
the
city
of
Ariston
could
have
very
well
gone
toward
Community,
Development,
the
police
or
firemen's
pension
funds
and
I.
Thank
you
very
much
cat
kurz
cafe
for
hiring
my
great
nephew
who
it
really
did
work
out
well
for
him.
Thank.
X
Excuse
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name
is
Tina
Payton
and
I
live
at
1122,
Emerson
Street.
The
paper
that
I'm
passing
around
is
a
code
violation
from
the
city
of
Evanston
and
if
you'll
turn
on
the
second
page,
it
says
that
the
bush
on
the
north
side
of
the
property
is
encroaching
onto
the
public.
Right-Of-Way
trim,
the
bush
and
they're
coming
back
for
an
expectant
on
the
22nd
of
January
who's
trimming,
bushes
and
January.
Please
tell
me
this
is
harassment.
X
I
am
tired
of
the
city
of
Evanston
harassing
my
family
for
over
30
years
in
this
city.
I
have
lived
at
this
address
for
almost
50
years.
My
hope
my
family
has
been
at
this
address
for
over
100
years
in
Evanston,
and
all
we
get
is
harassment
from
the
city
of
Evanston.
It
is
out
of
control
and
unacceptable,
and
you
will
be
responsible.
I
am
here
to
collect
my
money
from
the
city
of
Evanston
seven
times
we've
been
sued
by
the
city
of
Evanston,
which
titles
over
20
years
in
court.
X
If
my
mom
was
not
an
attorney
in
an
ottoman
in
this
city,
we
would
have
nothing
in
Northwest
training.
You
need
to
get
together
and
figure
out
how
you're
going
to
support
my
family
through
this
harassment,
I'm
not
going
to
take
it
anymore
and
everybody's
going
to
be
accountable
in
this
room.
It
is
out
of
control.
A
Y
Just
I
made
a
referral.
I
think
the
PD
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
on
the
agenda
somewhere
I
had
some
residents
who
had
similar
concerns
regarding
this,
we
just
talked
about
the
snow
enforcement,
and
we
know
that
that's
quite
dangerous
for
people
walking
our
streets,
so
I
just
wanted
to
remind
hopefully
that's
on
the
agenda.
We
can
talk
about
cold
enforcement's
and
how
these
things
are
distributed.
If
our
you
know,
team
is
just
walking
around
picking
on
people
how
we,
how
these
things
get
to
people's
homes,
I
think
that
will
become
conversation.
A
Z
This
ordinance
provides
approximately
800
to
flat
owners
with
the
new
right
to
build
this
unit
on
their
property,
meaning
that
this
policy
not
only
works
towards
housing,
affordability,
but
also
racial
equity.
Given
that
a
majority
of
properties
or
two
flats
that
would
gain
the
right
to
build
a
home,
their
backyard
are
located
in
west
and
southwest
Evanston.
With
this
in
mind,
I
respectfully
ask
that
you
support
item
p7
tonight
and
thank
you
for
your
consideration.
Thank.
A
AA
Good
evening,
everyone
I
wasn't
going
to
speak,
did
I
change
my
mind.
I
just
really
wanted
to
wish
everybody
a
Happy,
New
Year,
but
thinking
about
the
two
things
that
I've
had
in
my
mind
that
I
spoke
about
last
two
years.
One
was
having
public
comment
being
there
to
create
the
dialogue.
Why
can't
we
have
this
dialogue?
When
can
we
have
this
dialogue
where
why
can't
we
get
any
responses
to
our
public
comment?
AA
That's
number
one
number
two
I
thought
about:
City
Councilmembers,
Alderman,
alder,
women
and
I've
heard
it
said
a
few
times
last
year
that
if
we
don't
like
the
job
that
the
alderman
alder
women
are
doing,
why
don't
we
run
for
the
job
ourselves
or
the
position?
I'm,
sorry,
so
I
said
well,
I
didn't
run
for
the
position
you
ran
for
the
position.
So
what
were
you
all
hoping
to
accomplish?
What
was
your
goal
when
you
ran
for
the
position,
so
I
just
was
wondering
if
you
could
share
with
us
what
was
your
plan?
AA
A
You
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Ray
I
know
you
want
it
to
be
a
dialogue
and
I
am
sorry
and
sorry
we're
not
we're
not
going
to
be
able
have
that
dialogue
during
public
on
it,
but
we
can
always
talk
about
it.
The
rules
rules
committee.
If
we
want
to
change
how
we
do
these
things,
Margaret
Nielsen
come
on
up
and
then
Bennett
Johnson
and
then
Bonnie
Wilson.
It's.
AC
Might
not
like
it
but
we'd
better
get
used
to
it
better.
Get
you
stupid,
better,
get
used
to
it.
We
might
not
like
it,
but
we'd
better
get
used
to
it.
We're
living
in
just
one
world.
We
say
first
world
second
world.
Those
guys
are
the
third.
Those
guys
are
the
third.
Well,
those
guys
are
the
third,
but
there
is
just
one
planet
now
haven't
you
heard
we
are
living
in
just
one
world.
AC
If
we
keep
dump
and
carbon
climate
will
get
hotter,
climate
will
get
hotter
climate
will
get
hotter,
gonna
be
some
shortages
of
food
and
water
cuz
we're
living
in
just
one
world.
If
the
nation
start
to
starve
could
be
worn
revolution,
war
and
revolution,
war
and
revolution.
Military
might
will
not
be
a
solution.
Cuz
we're
living
in
just
one
world.
A
G
To
sing,
but
not
that
well
I'm,
here,
I
have
something
unique.
Two
days
from
now,
the
birthday
of
dr.
King
and
I
was
born
five
months
after
he
was
born,
he's
won
in
January,
I
was
born.
May
15
and
I
met
him
in
1955
when
I
was
at
UCLA
and
we
work
together
the
rest
of
his
life
and
he
was
for
racial
equity,
and
that's
what
I've
been
trying
to
do
most
of
my
spare
time,
I'm
concerned
about
the
handling
of
the
dismissal
of
Kevin
Brown,
and
he
represents
the
pattern.
G
It's
not
just
one
instance
was
one
set
thing.
We
could
deal
with
the
so
called
reasons,
but
we
have
Suzette
Robinson.
We
have
the
problem
that
mr.
Reed
has
had.
We
have
Leslie
Williams
Rhonda,
there's,
there's
several
black
people
who
have
been
fired
or
less
this
city
because
of
the
pressure
which
is
unfortunate
and
it
shows
a
weakness
in
a
racial
pattern.
Racial
pattern
of
racial
discrimination.
G
The
other
thing
is
that
demos
is
a
greek
word
which
means
people,
and
so
we
live
in
a
democracy
and
the
fact
that
the
evident
Holiness's
was
mishandled
as
far
as
I
was
concerned
in
the
last
meeting
means
that
we
you
can
you
so-called
Republican
representatives
need
to
make
sure
we
handle
it
properly.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AD
Thank
You
mayor
and
aldermen
I'm,
Bonnie,
Wilson
I,
live
in
the
first
Ward
and
I
have
been
an
Evanston
realtor
for
over
35
years
in
this
community
and
I
have
seen
firsthand
the
increase
in
housing
cost
in
our
city
over
the
last
few
decades.
Tonight,
I
encourage
you
to
pass
ordinance,
171
OH
119,
the
accessory
dwelling
unit,
Adu
ordinance
revision
to
take
a
step
forward
on
affordable
housing.
This
policy
can
facilitate
the
creation
of
critically
needed
housing
units
across
our
city
by
giving
to
flat
owners
the
right
to
build
a
housing
unit.
AD
A
AE
New
year,
I'm
sue
Lubbock,
I
work
at
connections
for
the
homeless
here
in
Evanston
and
represent
a
coalition
called
joining
forces
for
affordable
housing
just
very
quickly.
I
want
to
state
that
joining
forces
supports
the
changes
to
the
Adu
requirements
and
qualifications
that
are
coming
up
tonight.
While
these
changes
won't
necessarily
by
themselves,
create
new
affordability,
the
more
flexibility
we
allow,
the
more
likely
it
is
that
we
can
implement
affordable
solutions.
We
feel
that
the
these
ordinance
changes
are
a
step
in
the
right
direction
and
hope
that
you'll
support
them.
Thank.
A
AF
Power
first
word:
first,
very
briefly,
want
to
add
my
voice
to
the
others.
We've
spoken
on
two
issues:
I
strongly
supported
the
back
from
the
brink
resolution
and
on
racial
equity.
Kevin
Brown
should
not
have
been
fired
and
I
hope.
The
city
continues
to
protect
and
strengthen
the
youth
and
young
adult
division
related
to
that
I'm
still
a
little
concerned
on
the
process
for
the
contract
to
execute
the
search
for
the
next
city
manager.
I've
spoken
on
this
issue
before
and
believe
what
I
said
last
time.
AF
The
city
manager
has
an
incredible
amount
of
power
and
once
the
hiring
process
is
finalized,
the
is
essentially
unaccountable
to
the
Evanston
residents,
the
Evanston
voters.
The
hiring
process
is
the
time
for
the
public
to
have
our
input
and
I
saw
nothing
in
the
packet
today.
That
said
what
that
input
would
be,
or
really,
if
the
public,
without
any
input
in
this
search
at
all,
so
take
the
take
that
obligation
seriously.
The
public
needs
to
lead
okay.
A
AG
AG
Farmers
are
buying
40
year
old
tractors,
because
they're
actually
repairable,
and
this
goes
back
to
as
a
community.
What
do
we
do
when
we
look
at
resources
and
trying
to
keep
money
in
the
community?
A
lot
of
discussions
with
regard
to
its
a
pastor,
Wilson
with
regard
to
community
efforts
and
keeping
money
in
the
community
and
really
looking
at
it
from
an
economic
standpoint
and
seeing
when
money
leaves
the
community
and
not
only
leaves
the
community
but
a
lot
of
times?
AG
AG
You've
never
heard
me
speak
about
being
such
a
proponent
of
local
businesses,
but
in
this
today
in
age,
I
know
some
local
business
owners,
our
amazing
homers
ice
cream.
In
Wilmette
as
an
example
where
they
keep
prices,
affordable,
people
like
me
can
eat
there
be
taken
care
of
and
have
a
really
good
meal,
and
they
do
it
with
a
business
model.
That's
not
predatory,
it's
possible.
They
also
give
to
the
Avastin
community
I.
Just
don't
have
the
list
with
me
and
I
wanted
to
give
them
credit.
For
that
too.
AG
By
concluding
sentence
and
I'll
be
sent
submitting
this
whole
this
whole
article,
but
with
regard
to
the
right
to
repair
I
think
we
should
look
at
the
right
of
people
to
remain
in
their
homes
and
hand
their
homes
repaired
and
that
that
would
be
a
great
source
of
affordable
housing
and
a
lot
of
source
of
a
lot
of
increase
in
pride
of
ownership
and
in
pride
of
having
people
stay
and
age
in
place,
gracefully
with
the
rest
of
the
community.
Thank.
AH
AH
One
of
the
people
who
had
to
leave
Evanston
before
the
high
cost
of
living
came
to
my
house
to
shovel
snow
on
Saturday,
but
there
was
no
snow
to
shovel.
He
was
replaced
to
another
city
close
by
and
Sunday.
When
there
was
a
lot
of
snow,
there
was
no
one
to
show
us
snow.
I
think
we
need
to
think
about
the
people
who
are
unable
to
shovel
snow
who
are
cannot
afford
to
pay
someone
to
shovel
the
snow.
AH
A
You
miss
Giles,
in
fact,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
everybody
for
come
for
coming
out
for
for
public
comment
this
evening.
I
know
everybody
appreciates
the
spirited
conversation
and
dial
my
should
insane
I
along
because
I
know
that
some
people
want
dialogue
and
we're
not
able
to
offer
you
dialog
that
comments
from
the
public.
So
thank
you
we're
not
going
to
move
on
to
the
agenda
this
evening.
The
first
item
of
business
is
a
special
orders
item,
and-
and
this
is
for
discussion,
this
is
the
reparation
subcommittee
discussion.
A
I
had
brought
this
up
at
a
prior
meeting
about
wanting
the
council
to
have
a
conversation
about
this
committee,
whether
it
should
be
more
than
just
three
aldermen
right
now.
We
have
two
two
on
it
in
what
the
composition
and
the
structure
and
all
that
would
be.
So
this
is
for
discussion.
So
would
anyone
like
to
move
this
item.
AI
A
A
So
let
me
start
off,
then
so
I
don't
see
any
any
lights.
I
would
just
say
that
you
know
there.
There
are
two
really
difficult
parts
of
you
know
any
kind
of
reparations
program.
In
my
opinion,
one
is:
do
you
have
a
revenue,
source
and
I
think
that
the
work
that
this
city
council
did
was
really
novel
to
use.
You
know
designate
up
to
ten.
You
know
the
ten
million
dollars
the
first
ten
million
dollars
of
cannabis
for
Avenue
into
a
reparations
fund.
A
A
Am
supportive
of
this
idea
that
this
committee
be
expanded
and
you
know
I
think
it
ought
to
include
MB
a
multidisciplinary
group,
okay,
including
somebody
with
a
legal
background
and
law
background,
including
people
that
have
Bertie's
in
some
of
the
different
areas
where
we
may
be
looking
to
make
these
investments,
whether
that
be
you
know,
entrepreneurship
or
housing
or
those
areas
so
I,
just
I'll
start
it
off
there
and
and
open
this
up
all
right,
Elementor
simmons!
So.
AI
Possibly
a
community
group,
a
stakeholder
group
and
there's
been
an
initial
meeting
so
I
agree
that
we
will
need
input
from
many
experts.
We
have
had
an
offer
of
input
from
several
different
institutions
that
would
be
considered
experts
not
only
narcan
and
Cobra,
but
other
national
institutions
that
work
on
diversity,
inclusion
and
the
racial
wealth
gap
and
other
economic
opportunities.
AI
So
I
agree.
But
I
would
want
us
to
have
a
working
group
that
can
take
the
feedback
from
the
community
and
have
some
action.
So
I've
made
a
couple
of
recommendations
for
appointment.
I,
don't
know
that
there's
been
any
further
communication
or
if
there's
a
process
or
there's
even
application
open
for
them,
but
they
are
in
line
with
what
you're
speaking
to
someone,
especially
as
we
focus
on
housing
as
a
priority
or
home
ownership.
AI
Rather,
as
we
focus
on
business
development
for
the
black
community
and
as
we
noted
in
our
subcommittee
meeting
on
Friday,
a
focus
on
trauma
and
I
think
that
some
of
this
is
in
partnership
with,
for
example,
the
YWCA,
the
equity
empowerment
commission
is
going
to
be
working
on
the
healing
circles
and
there's
some
opportunity
to
address
trauma.
We
brought
up
another
model
that
was
recommended
by
in
Cobra
as
a
model
for
healing
the
trauma,
but
I
would
like
for
us
to.
AI
A
Great
so
so
a
couple
names
have
been
forwarded
to
me
of
I.
Think
good.
You
know
good
people
in
the
community
what
I'm,
looking
for
and
I
think
we're
trying
to
get
some
consensus
around
from
the
council.
Is,
you
know,
do
we
want
this
to
be
some
sort
of
you
know
working
group
or
task
force?
Okay,
and
there
are
certain
people
assigned
to
it
and
then
obviously
they're
working
with
other
people?
What
would
that
structure
take?
Do
you
want
me
to
us
to
call
for
people
that
are
interested?
A
Do
you
only
want
people
that
are
in
the
community
beyond
it?
Could
somebody,
outside
the
community
who's
an
expert
in
one
of
these
areas
that
all
the
minerals
Simmons
said
you
know
be
included
in
it,
yeah
I'm?
Looking
for
that
kind
of
the
guidance
and
discussion
next
up,
we've
got
alderman
briefly
Thank
You.
Mr.
E
Mayor
so
I
think
what
we're
challenged
with
and
because
where
this
is
all
due
to
to
us,
although
there's
been
a
tremendous
amount
of
research
in
history
to
the
whole
issue,
I'm
working
with
the
deadline
of
trying
to
get
things
together
in
in
some
type
of
policy
in
place
by
September
right
around
the
time
that
we're
going
to
be,
we
have
the
opportunity
to
to
spend
the
funds.
I.
Think
that's
consistent
with
what
we've
discussed
in
our
committee
meeting.
E
One
of
the
people
that
did
come
to
mind
is
dr..
Alvin,
Tillery
and
I
think
that
he
has
earned
the
respect
of
just
a
larger
council.
I
think
he
brings
the
resources
of
north
northwestern
in
an
an
academic
approach
in
how
we
can
shape
our
policies,
so
he's
a
different
voice
than
what
we're
used
to
listening
to
around
the
table
and
and
I
think
that
he
would
be
a
welcome
addition
to
our
committee.
E
Just
given
the
short
timeline,
the
fact
that
he's
in
town
in
we
meet
during
the
day,
you
know
like
right
in
the
middle
of
the
day,
which
isn't
easy
for
everyone.
So
I
would
be
a
little
concerned
about
expanding
the
committee
to
a
larger
number,
where
we
have
to
start
to
worry
about
quorum
in
a
very
condensed
period
of
time
and
I
remind
folks.
You
know
all
of
these
funds
that
we're
gonna
be
dispensed
dispersing.
It's
a
full
council
vote
and
all
that
stuff
is
going
to
be
in
public.
E
A
Thank
you,
I.
Think
that
begs
the
question
and
something
you
can
think
about.
Michelle
is
you
know,
could
this
be
structured
in
such
a
way
if
it
was
a
working
group
as
I
think
alderman
druh
Simmons
said
that
the
whole
core,
if
we
have
a
core,
that's
part
of
this
group
that
may
be
quorum,
doesn't
apply
to
it.
Maybe
it's
set
up
in
a
certain
way.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
possible,
that's
something
to
think
about.
We've
got
all
the
lights
on.
So
let
me
let
me
go
to
those
alderman
Rainey.
Well,.
I
I'm
not
sure
if
you
read
any
of
the
report
of
our
last
meeting,
but
I
thought
it
was
our
best
meeting
and
we
had
that
was
our
first
public
meeting
and
we
we
began
to
talk
about
expanding
our
scope
in
terms
of
topics
and
I.
Think
that's
important
having
to
do
with
who
who
we're
going
to
be
adding
to
the
committee
and
one
of
the
things
and
I
have
a
lot
more
to
say.
But
I
want
to
add
this
upfront
before
I
forget
one
of
the
things
that
I
attended
today
was
the
st.
I
But
the
focus
today
was
on
health
care,
equity,
mind
body
and
spirit,
and
that's
what
we
talked
about
adding
in
our
last
meeting
of
the
working
group
of
our
subcommittee,
which
is
I
want
to
move
on
to
that,
which
is
what
we
said
we
thought
we
should
be.
The
subcommittee
should
be
the
working
group,
the
the
business
group
and
what
we
discussed
also
was.
I
There
are
these
pockets
of
people
out
in
the
community
meeting,
so
it's
sort
of
a
wagon
wheel
format
where
people
are
meeting
here
and
there
and
here
and
there
and
we're
going
to
begin
I
believe
this
was
just
the
beginning
of
this
discussion
to
bring
in
some
of
the
leaders
of
those
groups
who
are
the
affected
parties
to
to
have
them
focus
on
individual
topics
and
go
from
there.
But
Peter
suggested
that
we
add
a
mortgage
authority
to
our
group.
I
I
suggested
that
I
would
like
to
have
a
development
specialist
so
that
we
could
add
to
our
fundraising.
Who
could
help
me
go
to
banks?
And
you
know,
the
universities
to
you
know,
gather
more
funds,
more
donations,
and
you
know
healthcare,
people
and
housing,
people
and
so
I
think
we're
really
on
the
right
track
and
then
almonds.
Simmons
has
several
people
that
she's
reached
out
to
I
think
we're
really
on
the
right
track,
and
then
you
know
there
are
those
people
who
are
complaining.
They
don't
like
our
program.
We
don't
have
a
program.
I
We
keep
telling
people
that
we
are
going
slow
slowly
so
that
we
have
the
best
program
ever
and
once
we
get
it
it'll
be
the
only
program
so
have
helped
me
the
best
program,
but
we
want
to
do
it
right
and
I
I
just
think
given
Kimberly
Richardson's
guidance
and
Shaniqua,
it's
we're
just
we
are
I,
think
we
are
on
the
right
track
and
I
would
encourage
anybody
to
come
and
meet
with
us
and
I.
Think
we're
doing
the
I
think
we're
doing
the
best.
Anybody
could
expect
us
to
do
it.
This
time.
A
F
E
F
AJ
G
F
Know
from
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
committee
members
and
the
people
who
are
participating,
it
seems
that
you
guys
are
self
initiating
and
reaching
out
and
finding
the
people
that
you're
going
to
need
to
kind
of
get
to
the
next
level
in
the
next
step.
So
I
think
you
know
with
the
three
committee
members
if,
if
I'm
hearing
correctly
you're
gonna
go
out,
find
more
people
but
kind
of
give
us
some
direction
on
what
you
think
you
need,
as
opposed
to
us
telling
you
all.
I
AI
Sorry,
that's
exactly
it.
There
are
so
many
areas
of
expertise
that
we
need
so
to
appoint.
Everybody
to
the
committee
just
won't
be
efficient
because
the
work
is
innovative,
so
we're
learning
as
we
go
in
certain
ways,
and
so
we've
been
able
to
do
outreach
to
find
the
experts
that
we
need
and
they've
made
themselves
available
and
I
think
that
will
be
ongoing.
The
ongoing
need
of
the
committee.
So
if
we
could
keep
it,
you
know
small,
and
then
we
have
the
opportunity
to
invite.
AI
We
already
have
organizations
that
want
to
come
in
and
give
presentations
and
offer
proposals,
and
it
doesn't
it
hasn't
ended.
I
mean
it's
been
a
steady
stream
of
opportunity
to
work
with
content
experts
just
outside
of
our
community
nationwide
and
I.
Think
that
makes
the
most
sense.
So
it
gives
us
that
opportunity
to
actually
get
things
done,
but
bring
in
the
experts
as
we
need
them.
K
AJ
I
do
think
that
those
are
as
you
develop
it.
As
you
said,
all
member
zsimmons,
its
innovative
you'll,
you
you
come
come
up
with
the
expertise
that
you
need
and
I
was
thinking
back
to
dr.
tiller
II
when
he
was
here
and
I
know
he
offered
to
help
and
and
all
the
Wraiths
by
just
mentioned
that
and
when
he
has
spoken
that
two
times
I've
heard
him
to
me.
He
seems
as
though
he's
this
remarkable
resource
of
other
people
and
Coleman
Rainey.
AJ
Maybe
you're
already
thinking
this
of
expertise
that
we
could
tap
into
as
well
for
for
particular
aspects
of
this
issue.
I
also
think
that
our
law
department
is
Madhu
need
to
have.
Lawyers
participate
in
this,
but
I
don't
know
that
our
law
department
has
the
time
to
work
on
this
and
I
know
that
when
you
all
came
back
from
the
National
League
of
Cities
conference,
there
was
a
some
mention
of
the
ACLU
being
eager
to
participate
and
I
think
tapping
into
an
organization
like
that
all
the
men
were
Simmons
and
I
talked
about.
AJ
Talking
to
several
months
ago,
you
and
I
talked
about
getting
in
contact
with
several
of
the
loss
law
schools
in
the
area
to
find
out
professors
who
are
interested
in
this
or
who
are
doing
research
or
who
would
have
students
available
to
do
research
so
I.
Those
are
suggestions
that
I
have
because
I
think
our
law
department
is
a
very
busy
active
law
firm
and
what
this
is
going
to
require
a
lot
of
research
and
time
and
analysis
that
someone
else
may
already
have
done
and
I
think
that
would
be
worthwhile
to
pursue
and.
A
So,
based
on
what
I'm
hearing
this
whole
conversation,
it
sounds
like
the
approach
that
the
committee
is
taking,
that
the
council's
comfortable
with
is.
We
have
a
subcommittee
of
the
Evanston
City
Council,
which
is
three
aldermen
alderman
druh,
Simmons,
alderman
Rainey,
and
now
all
the
aldermen
Braithwaite
that
are
on
it
they're
taking
sort
of
a
wheel
and
spoke
approach
to
this
right,
where
you've
got
a
bunch
of
spokes
that
sort
of
come
off
of
that
that
are
focused
on
different
areas,
okay
and
that
we're
leaving
it
up
to
the
subcommittee.
A
Okay
to
you
know
do
that.
Do
that
work
they
would
be
supported
by
Kimberly
Richardson.
Is
that
correct?
Okay
with
the
city
sort
of
the
staff
liaison
there?
The
other
thing
that
I've
heard
and
I
feel
strongly
about
this
is
that
I
do
think
there
needs
to
be
within
that
core.
Almost
if
I
look
at
the
three
as
the
core
in
Kimberly
Richardson
being
the
fourth
I,
do
think
there
needs
to
be
a
lawyer.
There
I
think.
That's
that's
really
important.
AK
Yeah
boy
aren't
you,
of
course,
all
the
new
students
included
the
law
department.
We
appreciate
that
but
open.
When
is
correct.
We
are
neither
experts
in
this
matter
and
I
understand.
There
are
very
few
lawyers
who
are
experts,
because
this
is
so
new,
but
the
bandwidth
and
the
department
is
very
small
right
now.
Two
senior
attorneys
just
left
at
the
same
time,
and
so
we
we
would
appreciate
greatly
this
if
the
ACLU
could
take
a
lot
of
the
burden
on
this
projects,
it
is
so
significant.
AK
AI
Clear
on
the
expectation
is,
of
course,
we
would
need
to
have
the
legal
expertise,
but
are
you
asking
that
we
appoint
with
that?
We
appoint
an
attorney
because
what
I'm
hearing
now
is
we
don't
have
the
staff
capacity,
so
we
would
have
to
contract
someone
or
you
saying,
appoint
the
ACLU
I
mean
it
doesn't.
Can
we
just
get
their
expert
support.
A
And
and
I'm
sort
of
comparing
some
them
to
Kimberly
Richardson,
the
deputy
city
manager,
like
they
are
the
same
person,
we're
not
rotating
out.
You
know
over
the
next
nine
months,
different
different
attorneys
per
se,
and
you
know,
preferably
because
again,
this
is
very
high-profile.
There's
lots
of
national
interest
in
them
the
ACLU
or
somebody
else,
would
be
some
other
public
interest
group
would
be
willing
to
help
here.
A
You
know
pro
bono
so
to
speak
on
their
on
their
own
time
and
then,
if
the
time
comes
in
the
counsel
of
this,
the
city
attorney
feels
like
we
need
our
own
legal
representation
to
take
a
look
at
whatever
it's
been
constructed
to
make
sure
we're
properly
managing
the
risk
here
for
the
city
that
we
would
go
out
and
obtain
that
at
that
point
in
time,
okay,
okay,
so
all
right,
so
seeing
no
more
lights,
is
there
motion
or
related
to
all
the
membranes?
Wait
I.
AI
AI
A
Opposed
okay,
so
all
the
Mary
congratulations
you're
now
part
of
the
official
subcommittee
of
the
reparation,
and
and
thank
you,
everybody
for
the
work
you've
done
so
far
and
the
hard
work
to
come-
and
this
is
really
really
complex,
but
but
we're
smart
and
we'll
figure
it
out.
But
we
need
to
think
think
hard
about
this
stuff.
Okay,
we're
now
going
to
move
on
to
the
consent
agenda
of
the
Evanston
City
Council
I'd.
Ask
that
we
approach
this
consent
agenda.
AL
A
AI
G
A
F
A
A
B
A
I
B
A
I
AI
A
A
I
I
believe
alderman
Wilson
argued
that
you
know
this
is
real
estate
and
we
should
really
keep
our
hands
off
it,
etc,
etc,
etc,
and
that
in
the
past,
condominium
laws
were
made,
and
now
people
are
in
big
trouble
because
they
don't
have
reserves,
etc,
etc.
I
will
tell
you
that
when
the
city
of
Evanston
got
involved
in
making
condominium
law
back
in
the
80s,
they
saved
people
from
from
problems,
and
they
did
not
create
problems.
I
I'm
not
saying
this
is
exactly
the
same
thing,
but
it
is
quite
the
reverse,
a
three-month
period
protecting
people
from
some
of
the
stories
we
heard
two
weeks
ago
regarding
Hampton
Park
ways.
Those
are
not
unique
stories.
Now
there
are
some
buildings,
like
we
heard
about
tonight,
with
the
young
man
with
his
little
baby
carriage.
I
You
know,
yeah.
There
are
people
underwater
in
some
of
these
buildings
who
are
trying
to
lure
real-estate
developers
to
buy
their
buildings
because
they're
underwater
I
get
that
I
get
that
and
this
3-month
moratorium
it's
not
going
to
hurt
them.
They
can.
They
can
get
developers
to
come
in
and
buy
their
buildings
for
a
price
that
is
more
than
than
they
would
get
if
they
put
them
on
the
market
by
themselves.
I
I'm,
not
sure
any
of
us
are
really
expert
at
what
the
state
law
says.
So
I'm
just
saying:
let's
take
a
look
at
it.
Let's
give
ourselves
three
months:
maybe
we
ought
to
rerun
the
show,
we're
Hampton,
Parkway
came
and
told
us,
and
I
I
did
get
a
couple
of
calls
from
Hampton
Parkway
about
people
who
were
dying
to
sell
their
unit,
but
I
think,
and
that
was
long
after
we
had
our
meeting
about
suggesting
a
moratorium.
I
Let's,
let's
take
a
look
and
see,
is
there
something
we
can
do
to
make
things
better
in
in
those
three
months
and
I
really
think
you
can
you
can
change
behavior
by
letting
people
know
you're
going
to
take
a
look
at
the
law?
There
is
nothing
wrong
with
doing
that
and
to
say
that
municipalities
have
no
business
looking
at
the
way
real
estate
law
operates
is
just
wrong.
That's
just
totally
wrong.
We
do
it
all
the
time
we
do
it
all
the
time.
F
You
and
oh,
maybe
that's
a
little
bit
overstated
from
from
my
position.
There
are
protections
in
place.
It
requires
a
75%
vote.
I
do
think
that
we
should
consider
more
robust
protections.
I
think
that's
important.
We've
heard
from
a
number
of
people
in
the
community
who
have
been
put
in
situations
that
they
don't
want
to
be
in.
This
could
have
a
significant
adverse
impact
on
the
ability
to
age
in
place.
So
there
are
real
and
realistic
concerns
and
things
to
take
into
account.
So
we
should
address
that.
F
However,
in
the
meantime,
while
we
work
out
that
that
idea
of
more
robust
protections
I,
don't
think
that
we
should
act
in
a
way,
that's
gonna
harm
other
people
who
are
in
the
middle
of
a
process
to
do
something.
We
heard
from
a
gentleman
tonight,
I've
heard
from
some
people
throughout
the
course
of
the
day.
F
Three
might
three
months
might
not
seem
like
a
long
time,
but
if
the
developer
or
the
purchaser
backs
out
of
the
transaction,
then
that's
a
harm
that
can't
be
they
can't
be
fixed.
You
know,
I,
just
don't
think
that
we
should
be
instituting
this
complete
ban.
I.
Think
that
we
should
be
aggressively
pursuing
you
know
possible
options
to
ensure
that
there
are
more
robust
protections,
but
I,
don't
think
that
we
should
ban
these
and
and
preclude
people
from
selling
their
properties.
Thank
You.
I
If
they're
in
the
process
of
a
deconversion
I,
think
I
would
consider
them
in
the
pipeline
and
probably
not
subject
to
them
to
the
moratorium,
you
know
if
they're,
if
they've
got
like
you,
know,
60%
agreeing
to
sell
I,
think
they're
already
underway
and
some
probably
not
subject
to
the
moratorium.
I'm,
not
sure
how
that
would,
but.
A
Okay,
Thank
You
alderman
all
right,
seeing
seeing
no
more

clerk

you
to
call
a

make
a
decision
about
which
meeting
to
send
it
to
because
if,
if
the
consensus
from
the
council
is
to
continue
to
do
advisory
resolutions,
then
the
second
piece
of
that
agenda
item
is
to
determine.

Thank
you.
I
had
opportunity
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
at
the
Crown
Center.
The
ice
is
open
and
there
was
a
full
day
on
both
sheets
of
ice
of
hockey
on
Saturday,
very
exciting,
to
see
how
excited
the
kids
and
families
are
to
experience
their
new
community
center,
and
it's
it's
pretty
remarkable
and
a
really
exciting
time
for
our
community
and
that's
it
thanks.

two

is
this:

and
this
is
to
discuss
a
proposed

around
the
North

and
the

Thank.
I
Mr.
lot,
the
vice
president
of
academic
affairs
at
Oakton,
Community
College,
is
going
to
speak
about
their
cannabis
curriculum,
which
has
really
been
growing,
excuse,
the
pun
and
one
of
the
foremost
cannabis
lawyers
in
the
city
of
Chicago
is
going
to
speak
on
the
overview
of
licensing
and
also
somebody
from
the
city,
governments
and
I.
Think
Paul
is
going
to
speak
about
zoning
etc
in.
I
So,
if
you
have
any
questions
at
all
about
licensing
or
getting
into
the
cannabis
business,
you
need
to
be
at
this
meeting
at
7:30.
Also,
I
want
to
say
one
more
time
about
st.
Francis's,
Martin,
Luther,
King
event
it's
on
YouTube
and
if
you
have
any
time
it's
just
the
most
wonderful
program,
so
you
might
want
to
take
a
look
at
it.
Thank.
Y
Good
things
I
also
want
to
give
condolences.
The
City,
Council,
Barry,
Sam
I,
know
he
used
to
live
in
the
fifth
Ward.
He
now
have
lived
in
the
ninth
ward
and
he
has
been
from
2011
at
2018,
served
on
the
either
mayor's
task
force
for
homeless,
the
homeless
and
housing.
Commission
Human,
Relations
Commission.
It's
a
very
busy
community,
advocate
also
on
the
board
of
connections
for
the
homeless,
also
want
to
let
my
peers
know
and
those
listening
me.
Y
For
the
first
time,
e
THS
is
sending
a
busload
of
students
to
the
Iowa
caucus
they're
going
with
Mick
I
say
that
wrong
bit.
Thank
You
mr.
challenge
there
and
we
door-knocking
and
canvassing
and
doing
all
that
political
stuff
out
in
the
cold,
so
they're
leaving
at
6:30
in
the
morning
on
Friday.
If
you
like
to
go,
send
them
out
and
encourage
them
to
do
their
democratic
duty,
and
there
will
be
a
con
Sunday
and
later.
Maybe
we
can
have
them
here
to
speak
about
it.
I
have
to
get
the
disclaimer.
Y
My
daughter
is
one
of
the
students
going,
but
they're
super
excited.
The
next
thing
is:
I
purchased
this
shirt
from
the
et
HS
dreamers
Club.
They
are
raising
money
to
support
undocumented
students
in
et
HS,
so
I'm
happy
to
share
the
website
with
you.
If
you'd
like
to
help
them
out
and
then
my
last
one
is
I'm,
have
an
award
meeting
on
Saturday.
Excuse
me
Wednesday
at
7:00
p.m.
Y
and
we
are
going
to
have
a
state,
federal
and
County
updates
from
all
your
local
elected
officials
will
be
there
to
give
you
information
about
what
is
happening
and
there
are
jurisdictions
on
your
behalf.
I
have
a
question
for
the
city
manager,
which
is.
There
has
been
now
a
couple
comments
about
twenty
two
million
dollars
that
leaves
Evanston
and
goes
to
nuclear
weapons,
and
so
I'm,
just
interested
in
what
that
is
to
the
speaker.
Tonight
made
a
reference
and
then
at
the
last
meeting,
though
we
will
look
into
adding
it
back
to
you.
Thank
you.
