F
A
Is
imperative
the
young
people
of
the
City
of
Evanston,
regardless
of
sexual
orientation
or
gender
identity,
feel
valued,
safe,
empowered
and
supported
by
their
peers,
Educators
and
Community
leaders.
Now,
therefore,
I
do
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
June
2023
as
lgbtq
pride
month
in
the
City
of
Evanston,
and
encourage
all
people
to
recognize
the
enduring
efforts
and
ongoing
contributions
of
the
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual,
transgender
and
queer
communities
with
our
city.
A
I
know
what
I
want
to
thank
Evanston
Pride
for
the
work
they've
done
we
were
I
was
really
proud
to
kick
off
the
parade
that
occurred
a
few
weeks
ago.
I
was
unable
to
be
at
the
vigil
that
occurred
last
night,
but
I
know
the
council
member
was
there
representing
the
city
and
just
appreciate
the
the
the
work.
That's
been
done
in
a
time
that
putting
out
that
Beacon
really
matters
a
lot,
because
it's
not
being
shown
from
all
corners
of
this
country.
A
Next
we
have
a
proclamation
celebrating
evanston's,
real
Independence
and
Freedom
Day
Juneteenth,
whereas
President
Abraham
Lincoln
signed
the
Emancipation
Proclamation
on
January
1st
1863,
declaring
the
slaves
in
Confederate
territory,
free
Paving.
The
way
for
the
passage
of
the
13th
Amendment,
which
formally
abolished
slavery
in
the
United
States
of
America
and
whereas
word
about
the
signing
of
the
Emancipation
Proclamation,
was
delayed,
some
two
and
a
half
years
to
June
19
1865.
A
Now,
therefore,
I
do
hereby
Proclaim
June
19
2023
is
Juneteenth
day
in
the
City
of
Evanston
and
urge
all
citizens
to
become
more
aware
of
the
significance
of
the
celebration
in
African-American
history
and
in
the
heritage
of
our
nation
and
city
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
it's
it's
a
recent
development
that
we
as
a
city
have
formally
recognized
Juneteenth
as
a
holiday
as
a
as
a
city
holiday.
A
It's
a
recent
development
that
we
have
a
parade
which
I
think
is
rapidly
becoming
a
cherished
Community
tradition
and
it's
an
indication
I
think
of
how
much
work
we
continue
to
have
to
do
in
this
field
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
those
organizers,
including
a
particularly
kimon
Hendricks,
for
both
putting
a
tremendous
amount
of
time
to
make
these
commemorations.
Successful
and
frankly,
for
ensuring
the
city.
A
Does
the
right
thing
and
takes
seriously
our
communal
responsibility
of
acting
not
only
as
an
entity
to
commemorate,
but
also
to
educate
and
to
lift
up
this
really
critical
message
and
finally,
I
have
last
Proclamation
that
was
initially
read
at
the
first
Friday
celebration
at
Mason
Park
declaring
June,
2nd
2023
gun

A
Awareness

it
reads
as
follows:
whereas
every

more
than
120
Americans
are
killed
by

violence
and
more

200

shot
and
wounded,
with
an
average
of
more
than
17
000
gun
homicides
every
year
and
whereas
Illinois
has
over
1600
gun
deaths
a
year
with
a
rate
of
12.9
deaths
per
100
000
people
representing
the
35th
highest
rate
of

in
the
country
and
whereas
in
January
of
2013

recognize
the
26th

who
was
born

were
orange

to
hidea,
Pendleton
and
other

of

and
the
loved
ones
of
those

A
Now,
therefore,
I
do
hereby
proclaim
the
first
Friday
in
June
June,
2nd
2023
as
National
Gun
Violence
awareness
day
and
encourage
all
citizens
to
support
their
local
community's
efforts
to
prevent
the
tragic
effects
of
gun
violence
and
to
honor
and
value
human
lives,
and
here
to
accept
this
Proclamation
and
frankly,
to
accept
our
thanks
for
their
advocacy
for
their
tireless
work
on
an
issue
that
is
not
only
incredibly
important,
but
that
sometimes
can
feel
so
demoralizing
that
it
can
be
hard
to
continue
the
work.
And
yet
without
doing
that,
work.
A
We
know
that
we
will
lose
more
lives
here
to
here.
To
take
another
step
and
they're
really
impactful
journey
of
activism
are
volunteers
from
people
for
safer
Society
from
Mom's

action.
If
you
would
come
forward
and
accept
this
Proclamation,
we
would
love
to
recognize
you
for
all
of
your
work.
A
That
concludes
my
lengthy
announcements.
The
next
item
in
the
agenda
is
the
city
manager's,
public
announcements,
good.
G
G
I'm,
just
going
to
read
the
city
is
honored
to
have
received
the
gfoa
award
I'm.
Just
going
to
read
briefly
about
this
prestigious
award.
City
of
Evanston
has
been
awarded
the
distinguished
budget
presentation
award
by
the
government,
Finance
Officers
Association
of
the
United
States
and
Canada
gfoa.
G
The
award,
which
recognizes
the
city's
fiscally
20
2023
budget
document
is
the
highest
form
of
recognition
in
government
budgeting.
In
order
to
receive
the
award,
the
city
had
to
satisfy
nationally
recognized
guidelines
for
Effective
budget
presentation.
The
guidelines
are
designed
to
assess
how
well
the
budget
document
serves
as
a
policy
document
a
financial
plan,
an
operations
guide,
a
Communications
device,
a
panel
of
independent
reviewers
must
rate
budget
documents
as
proficient
in
all
four
categories
and
in
14
mandatory
criteria
within
those
categories.
G
F
A
good
evening,
mayor
members
of
the
city,
council
and
manager,
store
I
think
you
covered.
What
is
the
budget
is
yeah.
This
is
by
the
government
Finance
Officers
Association,
which
is
the
part
of
the
U.S
and
Canada.
Thousands
of
that
and
again
he
mentioned
four
of
the
criteria:
they're
okay.
This
should
be
like
kind
of
a
readable
by
the
Layman.
You
know
the
simple
person,
so
that's.
Why
sometimes
they
say?
F
Is
it
like
a
financial
plan
or
the
operation
guide,
so
that
should
be
understable
previously
many
years
back,
it
was
like
a
very
precise
now
they
ask
us
to
include
more
and
more
information.
You
know,
and
so
the
communities
can
look
at
that.
Okay
with
Direction
city
is
going.
What
is
the
financial?
F
What
happened
even
in
the
past
include
two
more
years
of
history
and
all
that
kind
of
lot
of
statisticals
have
been
lately
added
to
be
part
of
the
budget,
so
only
then
you
can
have
and
again
yep
thanks
to
the
mayor,
the
members
of
city
council
for
your
strategic
Direction,
my
peers,
the
staff,
all
that
I
mean
this
is
the
teamwork
without
that
yeah.
We
cannot
do
this
comprehensive
budget
plan
yeah.
G
G
And
next
up
Mr
Mayor.
We
have
Mike
Houlihan
from
Drexel
Partners
here
to
talk
about
their
efforts
in
our
partnership
in
their
work
in
Springfield.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
members
of
the
city
council,
I
just
wanted
to
come
in
give
a
quick
overview
of
the
end
of
session
and
talk
about
kind
of
our
work
down
there.
Both
with
drexwood
and
Carson
group.
This
year
was
kind
of
a
return
to
normal.
If
you
will
after
three
years
of
covid
and
then
you
could
argue
that
we
had
a
pretty
impressive
year
with
JB's
first
year
in
terms
of
what
was
on
the
you
know,
docket
and
what
got
passed.
H
H
After
a
series
of
late
nights
session
ended
the
Friday
of
Memorial
Day
weekend
past
the
19th,
which
was
our
schedule
scheduled
adjournment,
but
before
the
31st,
our
top
legislative
priority
this
year
was
capital
and
bringing
back
some
money
to
the
City
of
Evanston
Senate
Bill
250
was
the
budget
Bill.
We
were
able
to
get
in
section
2705,
which
was
one
million
dollars
for
for
the
capital
infrastructure
improvements
to
back
Park.
H
H
Some
other
highlights,
lgdf,
which
there
was
a
lot
of
debate
over
what
that
looked
like.
It
was
a
scheduled
increase
to
a
funding
rate
of
6.47
percent,
which
will
be
a
slight
upgrade
I
believe
it
was
at
6.2
or
6.16
last
year,
I,
don't
know
if
anyone
read
any
of
our.
We
were
tracking
a
handful
of
bills
for
the
city.
A
couple
highlights
were
the
governor
just
signed
sb40,
which
sets
forth
a
bunch
of
regulations,
rules
regarding
electronic
vehicle
charging
and
what
municipalities,
residential
construction
and
others
need
to
do.
H
H
Let's
see,
affordable
housing
plan,
Senate
Bill
1476
that
passed
both
Chambers
as
well,
four
years
for
municipalities
to
get
up
to
speed
and
comply
with
some
of
the
affordable
housing
requirements.
I
have
a
feeling.
Evanston
may
be
ahead
of
those
as
it
sits
now,
but
something
to
watch.
H
Unfortunately,
Senate
Bill
506,
which
was
the
park
district
Bill,
did
not
make
it
afscme
the
union
weighed
in
pretty
heavily,
and
that
was
held
in
committee
for
those
of
you
unaware
that
was
to
allow
municipalities
that
did
not
have
separate
park
districts
a
carve
out
like
the
rest,
and-
and
that
is
that's
about
it.
Unless
there
are
any
questions.
C
You
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
all
performed
for
the
city.
I
just
want
to
get
a
deeper
understanding
of
a
few
things.
Well,
first,
I
guess
this
is
for
City
staff.
I'm
sorry
BEC
park
is
in
what
Ward.
C
Yes,
fifth,
word:
okay!
Wonderful!
Thank
you
and
I'm!
Sorry.
How
much
did
you
secure
for
that?
Park.
C
And
and
then
the
living
room
you
secured
600
000
is
what
I
believe
I
heard:
yep,
okay
and
thank
you
and
what
does
lgdf
stand
for.
C
A
local
government
distributive
fund,
okay,
yep,
thank
you,
and
can
you
explain
further
what
happened
with
the
lgdf
and
how
that
impacts.
H
So
there
were
I,
guess
roll
it.
Back
to
the
rounder
years.
We
went
down
from
basically
10
percent
to
six
percent;
actually,
no,
it
was
lower
than
that.
It
was
actually
five
and
change
and
when
we
were
having
the
budget
crisis,
obviously
we
came
out
of
that.
We
raised
the
income
tax
to
you,
know
4.95,
and
there
were
many
people
that
felt
like
the
six
percent
of
4.95
percent
was
basically
equal
to
the
10
of
3
right.
H
So
there's
been
a
long
battle,
a
lot
of
municipalities.
The
IML
has
taken
this
up
as
a
big
issue
for
them
they've
been
trying
to
get
an
increase
or
actually
back
to
the
10
percent,
which
would
in
in
a
lot
of
ways,
be
a
if
my
math
is
right.
I've
looked
to
the
former
mathematician,
but
I
think
66
increase
over
where
it
was
Prior
right
with.
If
you
go
to
five
percent
and
you
bump
it
back
to
10..
H
So
this
was
part
of
a
scheduled
increase
to
the
lgdf
last
year,
as
I
mentioned,
I
think
it
was
6.16
percent
this
year
fiscal
year
24.
It
raises
up
to
6.47
thank.
C
You
and
hitesh
I
don't
know
if
you
walked
away,
but
is
my
memory
correct
that
we
we
receive
about
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
annually
from
the
local
government
distributive
fund,
yeah.
G
It's
actually
it's
actually
quite
a
bit
more
than
that,
and
we
believe
that
this
most
recent
increase
is
going
to
net
us
about
500
000,
additional
dollars.
G
C
Wonderful
and
then
the
park
district
car
vote.
Can
you
explain
that
a
bit
more
yeah.
H
What
happened
in
the
original
bill
was
that
part-time
employees
at
park
districts
were
carved
out
from
some
of
the
Union
Provisions.
This
was
a
bill
that
was
passed
prior
to
our
representation,
a
view
of
the
city
and
so
a
handful
of
municipalities
that
have
a
Park,
District
Department
of
the
city,
as
opposed
to
a
separate
agency
of
the
park
district.
We're
looking
for
their
part-time
employees
to
be
treated
the
same
way
right,
which.
H
C
C
I
I
was
and
I'll
start
wrapping
up
here.
I
was
one
of
the
council
members
who
was
a
bit
skeptical
of
of
this
I
certainly
think
there
is.
There
was
a
need
internally
to
have.
Someone
represent
the
city,
particularly
looking
for
Grants
I
I.
C
Think
one
of
my
concerns
early
on
was
that
if
we
were
to
hire
a
lobbyist
and
and
part
of
the
focus
was
hey,
we're
not
really
going
to
hire
lobbyists
we're
going
to
have
folks
who
are
going
to
focus
on
getting
grants
and
bringing
money
back
to
the
City
of
Evanston,
and
one
of
my
concerns
was
something
similar
to
this
Park
District
carve
out
I,
don't
know
if
that
aligns
with
certainly
my
values
or
maybe
the
values
of
this
Council
or
the
values
of
our
city,
that
we
would
want
to
pay
a
lobbyist
to
go
to
Springfield
and
potentially
take
away
benefits
from
part-time
employees
who
work
for
municipal
government,
and
so
I
speak
for
myself.
C
Here,
certainly,
and
really
to
what
we
originally
voted
on,
I
I
would
love.
It
was
really
helpful.
One
having
you
come
here
and
explain
some
of
this
stuff
to
us.
That's
more
than
IML
does
I.
Well,
we
have
IML
who
represents
this
largely
they
don't
send
someone
here
every
year
to
break
down
what
happened
in
sessions.
C
So
that
part
is
really
helpful,
but
I
would
love
to
see
on
behalf
of
the
taxpayers,
and
this
Council
may
be
more
of
a
focus
on
bringing
back
direct
grants
and
funding
to
the
city
and
certainly,
as
I,
think,
I
requested
the
time
that
this
was
passed.
If
there
was
a
legislative
agenda
that
was
going
to
be
supported
on
behalf
of
the
City
of
Evanston,
that
that
would
come
back
to
us
and
we'd
have
an
opportunity
in
some
manner
to
say.
C
H
H
We
did
not
take
a
overly
active
role.
Our
main
goal
was
to
bring
back
money.
I
know
that
we've
had
several
conversations
with
you
know,
I
believe
council,
member
Burns
had
recommended
some.
You
know
possible,
Federal
grant
writers.
We've
had
some
conversations
with
those
folks.
We've
done.
I
know
that
Anthony
Jackson
and
Paul
and
and
David
stoneback
had
a
conversation
with
the
county
today
regarding
some
Brownfield
money.
That
remains
our
goal.
H
C
Thank
you
and
last
thing
just
to
put
it
on
your
radar
on
Eighth
Ward.
We
certainly
need
some
Brownfield
money
for
a
development
of
housing
on
Howard,
Street,
and
so
just
that's
something.
I
hope
that
you
all
look
out
for
as
well
as
funding
for
acquisition
of
of
Housing
and
property
that
the
city
could
use
to
develop,
affordable
housing.
So
if
those
things
are
floating
out
there
in
The,
Ether,
think
of
the
eighth
Ward
and
then
yeah
bring
it
back
to
us.
H
And
I
encourage
you
to
check
out
the
grant
tracker
which
has
all
kinds
of
opportunities.
It's
an
Excel
spreadsheet
that
we've
kind
of
kept
as
a
living
document
and
we
are
investigating
those
on
a
regular
basis.
H
C
I
would
love
for
us
to
think
if
there
is
a
committee
that
we
could
get
quarterly
up,
I
think
we
even
originally
asked
for
quarterly
updates
or
something
along
those
lines.
So
if
there's
a
committee
that
we
can
get
quarterly,
updates
and
kind
of
you
know
have
this
dialogue
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page,
I
think
that
would
be
really
helpful
and
I'm
not
asking
you
to
figure
that
out
I'm
more
so
asking
for
staff
and
not
on
in
the
moment
necessarily.
G
And
just
to
clarify,
we,
we
do
receive
quarterly
updates
and
we
do
four
of
those
onto
the
council,
so
you
all
have
received
the
q1
update
and
Q2
will
be
following
in
a
few
weeks
here.
I.
C
Think
it
did
take
some
time
before
that
started
happening.
There's,
maybe
a
almost
a
year,
I,
don't
know
a
while
before
it
started
happening,
but
I
do
think
that
we
should
have
this
regular
update,
not
just
sent
in
a
document
by
email,
but
a
discussion
at
a
committee
again
to
make
sure
that
you
know
what
we're
looking
for
and
we
know
what's
out
there
fair.
I
A
Sir,
this
is
in
the
more
comment
than
a
question
category.
First
of
all,
thanks
for
being
here
tonight.
First
of
all,
I
do
want
to
just
emphasize
something.
You
said
that
you
were
tracking
legislation,
letting
us
know
what
was
going
on.
A
I,
don't
recall
examples
of
you
even
filing
a
witness
slip
and
supporter
against
legislation,
but
I.
Definitely
maybe
you
did
I,
don't
know,
because
there
are
some
issues.
That
truly,
are
you
know
unanimous
around
here,
but
there
were
a
number
of
occasions
where
you
reached
out
and
said:
should
I
take
a
position
and
I
said
no
we're
just
we
just
are
tracking
it,
and
so
I
I
certainly
would
argue
that
the
way
in
which
this
relationship
is
preceded
has
been
precisely
what
was
discussed
and
what
council
member
Reid
is
is
requesting.
A
I
also
just
want
to
publicly
thank
you
for
the
help
in
securing
those
two
Capital
grants.
You
know
we
live
in
a
world
where
there's,
understandably,
a
lot
of
double
counting
and
a
lot
of
you
know.
Failure
often
has
a
lot
of
parents.
A
success
often
has
a
lot
of
parents.
I
can
say,
with
a
great
degree
of
confidence
that
we
would
not
have
had
a
shot
at
accessing
those
funds,
if
not
for
the
work
that
you
guys
did
for
us
and
to
be
clear,
there's
nothing
nefarious
about
it.
A
It
was
about
identifying
an
opportunity
precisely
when
it
existed,
making
us
aware
of
it,
putting
us
in
front
of
the
right
people
to
make
the
right
substantive
argument,
at
which
point
we
were
able
to
win
the
day
and
by
the
way
things
go
to
Senator,
fine
and
president
Harmon
as
well,
for
for
ultimately
making
those
decisions
that
were
favorable
for
us,
but
I
I
know
that
I
at
least
would
have
had
no
idea
to
make
those
phone
calls
at
that
time
and
to
make
that
particular
case
at
that
time.
A
If
not
for
your
help,
and
so
you
know,
that
is
really
what
I
had
in
mind
when
I
first
suggested
this
relationship
with
this
Council
and
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for
for
that
work.
Those
are
important
projects
to
this
community
and
those
resources
will
be
will
be
really
helpful
to
us.
A
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
public
comments.
A
There
are,
it
looks
like
once
we
kind
of
cross-up
duplicates
there
I
think
exactly.
15
people
signed
up
to
speak
so
we'll
everyone
will
be
given
the
full
three
minutes.
This
evening.
We
begin,
as
always,
with
those
who
signed
up
on
this
sheet
of
paper
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
those
who
signed
up
online.
A
The
first
well
is
all
right,
so
the
first
person
who
signed
up
signed
up
to
speak
via
Zoom,
so
we'll
go
back
to
them,
and
the
next
person
is
signed
up.
I
have
to
say.
A
I,
just
can't
read
I
think
it
starts
with
fak.
A
J
Good
evening,
members
of
the
city
council,
I,
am
here
to
make
a
comment.
First,
I
do
not
understand
why
this
consent
agenda
is
going
to
be
up
for
introduction
for
P1
ordinance,
51023
and
when
there
are
so
many
outstanding
questions
and
concerns
about
this
particular
development.
Secondly,
you
have
an
ordinance
that
dictates
how
these
procedures
should
go
and
I
wish.
You
would
follow
those
procedures
with
the
previous
ordinance.
J
A
K
This
occupied
most
of
the
Youth
of
the
City
of
Evanston,
who
participated
without
cost
I'm
sure
a
permit
was
required
for
the
prayer
vigil
for
peace
on
set
on
Saturday
along
Dodge,
beginning
at
Howard.
Street
prayer
is
good,
but
it
doesn't
provide
for
the
Youth
of
Evanston.
It
does
separate
the
haves
from
the
have-nots
and
the
new
design
of
Mount
Pisgah
and
the
housing.
That's
not
quite
sure
what
it
really
be,
but
will
only
not
just
be
Evanston
but
other
people.
The
plan
is
another
separation
in
the
Fifth
Ward.
Thank
you.
A
L
Hello:
okay:
let's
get
started
hi
everyone!
Thank
you
for
having
me,
my
name
is
Emily
Jacobson
and
I'm,
a
co-lead
of
the
local
momzan
action
group.
Here
in
Evanston,
our
group
came
into
being
again
last
summer
and
we've
been
working
really
hard
with
the
mayor
and
the
City
Council
on
the
creation
of
the
safe
storage
act.
I
would
urge
all
of
you
to
support
it.
L
Hs2
from
the
Human
Services
committee,
the
mayor's
ordinance
did
a
great
Proclamation
did
a
great
job
laying
out
the
issue
of
gun
violence
and
how
scary
it
is,
and
it's
really
scary,
being
a
parent
these
in
these
this
day
and
age
here
in
Evanston,
as
you
know,
a
few
months
ago,
there's
a
soft
lockdown
of
all
of
our
schools.
L
A
few
two
months
ago,
today,
someone
was
killed
at
Clark,
Street
beach
from
gun
violence,
a
young
man
and
his
two
brothers,
15
years
old,
both
shot
injured,
and
this
is
unacceptable.
This
is
unacceptable.
We
are
here
to
say
that
the
safe
storage
act
will
help
in
these
situations
and
it
will
help
save
lives.
L
It's
just
a
piece
of
the
puzzle,
it's
just
the
beginning,
but
the
research
shows
that
in
a
a
household
with
secure
arm,
Firearms
ammunition
separate
from
the
firearm
85
percent,
lower
risk
of
unintentional
firearm
injuries
for
households
with
children,
85
percent
lower
risk.
We
know
that
this
works.
We
know
this
is
part
of
the
puzzle,
and
we
would
urge
all
of
you
to
support
this,
we'll
be
back
in
two
weeks
for
the
four
action
section
when
this
will
hopefully
pass
and
I
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
what
Mom's
demand
action
is
doing
across
the
city.
L
In
addition
to
this
piece,
we're
Distributing
gun
locks
and
we
hope
to
partner
closely
with
the
hospital
to
continue
to
distribute
gun
locks
in
these
situations.
We
are
also
hoping
to
work
with
our
school
districts
and
pass
out
information
about
safe
storage
information
and
the
tools
that
people
need
are
what
we
need
to
get
out
there
to
really
take
a
buy
out
of
this
issue.
So
once
again,
I
urge
you
to
support
safe
storage
act.
Thank
you.
A
M
Thank
you,
mayor
Biz,
City,
Manager
clerk,
Mendoza
members
of
city
council
good
evening.
My
name
is
Mary
Gavin
and
I
came
to
speak
about
Janet
Alexander
Davis,
I'm,
very
happy
that
you
have
the
opportunity
to
vote
to
recognize
her
Devotion
to
the
community
of
Evanston
by
having
a
portion
of
Leland
Avenue
named
in
her
honor.
M
In
addition
to
being
a
community
activist,
an
advocate
for
black
and
brown
Youth
and
environmental
justice,
she's
been
an
ally
and
a
model
she's
been
an
ally
to
you,
city,
council
members
and
to
your
predecessors,
by
speaking
up
about
critical
issues
in
a
civil
manner,
even
when
she
disagreed
with
something
she
always
acknowledged.
The
difficult
work
the
city
council
members
have
to
tackle
and
in
that
same
vein,
her
decorum
serves
as
a
model
for
others
whose
passion
motivates
them
to
come
here.
I
trust
this
measure
will
pass
the
council
unanimously,
but
maybe
not
without
comment.
A
I
Well,
good
evening,
I'm
Rick,
Nelson
and
I'm
speaking
tonight
in
support
of
Janet
Alexander
Davis.
Last
Monday,
the
Human
Services
committee
approved
a
resolution
that
supported
a
street
naming
honor
for
Janet
that
night
attending
city,
council
members
and
Dolores
homes
all
voiced
their
strong
support
for
this
gesture
of
recognition.
I
Citizen
speakers
praised
Janet
for
her
long
history
of
volunteerism
and
contributions
to
the
community
and
others
who
couldn't
attend,
wrote
the
committee
expressing
their
deep
respect
for
Janet
tonight.
Mary
Gavin,
the
Evanston
Roundtable
founder,
who
just
preceded
me,
felt
compelled
to
come
and
speak
in
support
of
Janet
and
more
than
a
few
friends
of
Janet's
are
here
in
the
audience
this
evening.
I
What
all
these
people
know
is
this
with
little
Fanfare
Janet
has
volunteered
tirelessly
over
her
80
years
to
make
things
better
for
her
neighborhood
The,
Fifth
Ward
and
her
hometown
of
Evanston.
The
city
council
has
a
special
opportunity
this
evening
to
honor
a
very
deserving
evanstonian.
I
A
N
Good
evening
my
name
is
Yvonne
Smith
and
I
am
a
board
member
of
people
for
a
safer
Society,
an
organization
which
Advocates
advocates
for
gun
safety
legislation
in
Illinois
and
nationally
I'm
here,
to
urge
the
city
council
to
support
the
historic,
safe
storage
act,
which
is
on
the
agenda
for
this
evening.
We
must
reduce
gun
violence
and
shootings
of
innocent
children
and
other
persons
in
our
community,
keeping
guns
away
from
Youth
and
Young
Children
and
other
family
members
who
should
not
have
access
to
them
is
to
me
a
no-brainer.
N
We
believe
that
all
gun
owners
should
store
their
guns
safely,
with
ammunition
kept
us
separate
from
that
from
the
guns
themselves.
Children
know
where
guns
are
stored
in
the
household.
You
know
many
parents
think,
oh
you
know
they
put
it
away
and
kids
don't
know
where
it
is
not
true,
they
do
know
and
they
have
brought
several
have
brought
guns
to
school.
That's
something
that
we
have
to
stop
so
again,
I'm
here
to
say
that
I
hope
the
council
will
unanimously
support
the
safe
storage
act
to
your
ordinance.
Thank
you.
O
Los
Angeles,
Minneapolis
and
Portland
Oregon,
which
also
face
an
affordable
housing
crisis,
voted
to
end
zone
rules
in
single-family
areas.
While
here
in
Evanston,
there
hasn't
been
a
meeting
since
November
read
your
tantrum
was
read
on
a
status
quo,
console
that
only
cares
about
the
wealthy
areas,
but
what
you
don't
see
is
how
you
and
Bobby
contribute
and
are
helping
them
with
their
agenda.
The
seven
Ward
had
an
opportunity
to
add
more
affordable
housing
award
that
has
a
little
of
it
in
a
wealthy
War.
O
They
claim
it's
too
expensive
to
put
affordable
housing
in
these
same
council.
Members
rejected
that
proposal
over
trees,
the
same
trees,
mature
trees.
They
have
no
problem
knocking
down
here
in
the
Fifth
Ward
because
they
tell
us
they
grow
back.
Don't
tell
me
it's
not
possible
when
it
was
you
guys
to
turn
it
down.
The
Luc
rejected
a
proposal
for
a
daycare
in
the
Sixth
Ward
over
existing
traffic
congestion,
parking
and
zoning
regulations.
The
same
reasons
we
stated
for
this
building.
I
guess
traffic
is
only
an
issue
in
wealthy
areas.
O
These
are
the
double
standards
The
Fifth
Ward
faces
every
day.
This
pastor
has
publicly
stated
he
has
no
money
to
build
this
church,
yet
he
wants
to
trade
his
land
for
a
land,
the
city
deemed
too
expensive
to
clean.
How
much
is
this
new
church
really
going
to
cost?
You
cost
you
Pastor
by
trading
the
land
Evanston
is
giving
hodc
the
land
for
free,
in
addition
to
more
taxpayers
money.
Thank
you.
P
P
That's
that
to
me
seems
like
reason:
why
are
they
coming
for
our
money,
our
taxpayers,
money?
So
to
me,
that
is,
that
is
not
normal.
I
have
just
shown
Bobby
that
affordable
condos
in
Lincoln
Park,
not
Fifth,
Ward
in
Evanston
are
285
000,
much
bigger,
much
better,
much
more
expensive
location.
Why
don't
we
use
our
money
to
create
the
investment
in
our
people,
so
they
can
have
a
stake
in
the
neighborhood
that
they
will
not
be
in
bondage
to
the
corporation
and
the
private
profiteers
of
this
Corporation.
This
is
not
right.
P
What's
been
done
to
us,
it
is
not
right
and,
as
Mara
pointed
out,
this
is
not
flying
in
the
in
the
in
the
neighborhoods
by
the
lake.
Furthermore,
to
Enlighten,
just
if
every
everyone
wants
to
know
more
how
this
program
works,
please
watch
politics,
poverty
and
profits,
Frontline
PBS.
P
If
you
do
not
believe
me,
if
you
do
not
believe
many
people
in
our
government
who
have
realized
that
this
program
that
has
been
established
to
create
affordable
housing,
now
we
are
finding
out
that
the
money
is
not
really
benefiting,
those
that
they
that
they
should
benefit,
but
it's
going
someplace
else
as
we
are
seeing
in
this
particular
situation
and
one
just
more
thing:
how
can
contaminated
lot
that
it's
extremely
expensive
to
to
to
be
cleaned
equals
the
land?
Lot?
That's
not
contaminated
to
me
that
doesn't
make
sense.
P
That's
that's
problematic
to
me,
so
anyone
should
ask
questions
like
that,
so
I
mean
and
we
we
gonna
end
up
with
this
with
this
building.
That's
gonna
cause
us
nothing
but
problems
and
we
are
the
affordable
housing.
We
are
the
people
who
have
served
affordable
housing.
We
are
the
people
who
have
taken
connections
for
homeless.
We
are
the
people
whose
rents
are
lower
than
what
the
rents
are
in
other
parts
of
Evanston,
but
we
no
one
cares
about
us.
No
one
cares
about
our
neighborhood.
P
No
one
cares
that
the
only
spot-
that's
meant
for
commercial,
so
we
could
have
cute
little
shops,
so
we
could
have
something
to
lift
us.
It's
been
taken.
No
one
cares
about
that,
but
if
it
was
in
another
world
I
bet
all
of
you
would
care.
But
yes
forget
us.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
so
I
want
to
return
to
this
line
that
I
can't
it's
embarrassing.
I
just
can't
quite
make
it
out.
Is
there
a
person
whose
name
begins
with
f
a
who
signed
up
on
this
sheet
who
have
not
called
on
and
if
so,
I'm
really
sorry?
A
Okay,
perhaps
not
I'm,
still,
sorry
but
less.
So
we
now
move
on
to
those
who
signed
up
online.
There
are
a
few
folks
who
signed
up
online
to
speak
in
person,
so
we'll
go
with
Christopher
Parker,
who
will
be
followed
by
Mary
fratini,.
A
Christopher
Parker
is
not
here,
we'll
call
up
Mary
fratini.
A
Also
not
here
so
now
we
move
on
to
those
who
signed
up
to
speak
online,
beginning
with
Barbara
Tyson,
who
will
be
followed
by
Mike
vasilko
and
then
Maria
tolpin.
Q
So
I'm
going
to
repeat
part
of
what
I
said
at
Hew
for
items.
Eight
four,
a
five
and
A7
I
just
feel
it's
wrong
to
reward
a
consultant
or
a
contractor
with
additional
work
on
the
heels
of
gigantic
failures,
in
this
case
Fountain
Square
and
Christopher
Burke,
and
generic
seven
million
dollars
later
and
no
working
fountain.
Q
Q
R
Q
Burke
was
paid
nearly
one
million
dollars,
a
large
part
of
which
was
to
act
as
the
city's
eyes,
monitoring
construction
activities,
which
includes
asking
for
submittals
watching
what's
going
on
in
the
field,
making
demands
to
have
work
corrected
as
it
goes
versus
waiting
to
the
end.
Well,
obviously,
they
didn't
they
didn't
do
a
very
good
job
of
that.
Q
It
just
drives
somebody
like
me
crazy
who
does
this
kind
of
work
on
a
day-to-day
basis
to
see
no
one
held
be
held
accountable,
squandering
you
know
millions
of
dollars
of
taxpayer
money
Millions
upon
Millions.
It
happens
so
frequently.
It
ever
said
again.
It
drives
me
crazy,
Consultants
aren't,
held
responsible
contractors,
aren't
held
responsible,
and
forgive
me
for
saying
so,
but
there's
some
staff
members,
some
individuals
who
are
not
held
accountable.
Q
And
I
just
think
somebody
eventually
has
to
come
around
to
understanding
that
are
questioning
why
this
keeps
happening,
and
you
know,
is
there
some
other
reason
that
this
is
happening,
that
that
isn't
apparent
to
the
General
Public
I'll.
Leave
it
at
that
I
would
ask
that
you
on
all
three
of
these
items
on
hold.
Thank
you.

I'm
a

with
Mom's
demand,
action,
Evanston
and
additionally
I'm
the
chair
of
the
gun,
violence
prevention,
Task
Force
at
Jewish,
Reconstructionist
congregation,
my
Evanston
synagogue
and
a
member
of
our
racial
Equity
task
force
I'm
speaking
tonight
in
support
of
this
safe
storage
act.
But
with
the
caveat
that
a
restorative
justice
option
be
included
in
the
legislation,
mom's
Man
action,
Evanston
co-lead,
Emily
Jacobson
shared
some
information
with
me
about
a
restorative
justice
approach
to
a
safe
storage
law
in
St
Louis
Missouri,
which
allows
individuals
to
have
their
civil
fines
waived.
S
If
they're
able
to
show
that
they've
procured
a
way
to
safely
store
Firearms.
Since
the
goal
of
evanston's
storage,
Act
is
I
believe
to
increase
Public
Safety
and
not
to
punish
being
able
to
show
the
means
to
securely
store.
Firearms
is
a
way
to
bring
about
a
better
balance
of
Community
Care.
Ideally,
there
will
be
Community
or
Foundation
funds
for
individuals
to
defray
the
cost
of
purchasing,
gun,
safes
and
or
lock.
S
I
know
every
town
for
gun
safety
provided
the
city
and
Mom's
Med
action
with
cable
gun
locks
that
have
been
distributed,
free
of
cost
waving.
The
fine
under
the
right
conditions-
this
is
an
important
way
to
promote
Community
cooperation
and
trust.
This
restorative
approach
will
also,
most
importantly,
help
avoid
the
disproportionate
financial
burden
of
fines
on
lower
income
individuals
in
the
community.
To
conclude,
thank
you
to
Mayor
biss
council
members
for
your
leadership
on
the
safe
storage
act
and,
let's
ensure
a
restorative
justice
element.

at

For
the
past
two
years,
we,
the
neighbors,
have
been
working
with
the
city
at
hodc
the
management
company,
to
improve
the
living
conditions
at
the

The

have
a
meeting
tomorrow
night
with
both
the
chairman
and
the
director
of
hodc,
along
with
older
persons,
Melissa
Nguyen
and
Claire

to
resolve
the
many
issues
which
are
upsetting
the
tenants
and
the
neighbors.
D
The
latest
incident
being
the
street
Brawl
on
Tuesday
May
23rd,
which
Melissa
Nguyen
and
I
witnessed
it,
took
over
a
dozen
police
officers,

to
resolve
this
conflict.
I'm
asking
you
to
please
put
a
hold
on
passing
ordinance

in
this
city
council
meeting
until
there
is
evidence
that
hodc
has
demonstrated
a
permanent
plan
which
will
improve
the
living
conditions
at

and
thus
benefit
the
tenants

the
neighbors.
Thank
you
for
listening.
A
A
Seeing
that
she's
not
available,
this
concludes
public
comment
for
the
evening
and
moves
us
on
to
special
orders
of
business.
Would
someone
appear
to
make
a
motion
relative
to
item
sp1
I.
T
A
U
U
I'll
go
ahead
and
get
started
while
they
bring
up
the
presentation.
So,
as
you
are
all
aware,
we
have
had
some
issues
with
the
elevator
and
the
Elevator
Shaft
structural
failure
at
the
police
fire
headquarters.
However,
there
are
some
bigger
issues
going
on
as
well,
and
we
wanted
to
kind
of
go
through
that
tonight
and
talk
about
some
of
the
operational
challenges
that
we're
struggling
with
at
the
police
fire
headquarters.
U
They
cut
in
An
Elevator
Shaft
into
the
building.
The
building
actually
is
a
basement
level,
a
first
floor
and
a
second
floor.
So
it's
really
only
three
stories
that
the
elevator
is
going.
However,
there
are
actually
multiple
floors
in
the
police
fire
headquarters
that
are
like
half
floors,
that
the
elevator
doesn't
necessarily
touch
so
when
they
did
that
and
I
honestly,
we
do
not
have
really
good
drawings
for
the
police
fire
headquarters
or
for
the
Elevator
Shaft
at
the
time.
U
U
So
the
other
point
that
I
want
to
talk
to
you
about,
because
this
comes
up
a
lot
as
we
discuss
the
police
fire
headquarters.
Is
that
originally,
when
it
was
constructed,
it
was
to
house
87
staff
members.
Currently,
as
the
courthouse
was
the
court,
it's
not
a
courthouse.
The
court
itself
was
relocated
to
the
Civic
Center
here
as
administrative
adjudication,
the
fire
station
one.
We
built
a
new
fire
station
one
and
we
relocated
that
operation
there.
U
So
we
only
have
the
Fire
Department
headquarters
there
right
now,
but
still
policing
has
changed
considerably
over
the
years,
and
now
we
are
up
to
220
staff
members
that
are
housed
in
a
building
that
was
originally
intended
to
house
87.
next
slide,
please
at
this
time
I'm
actually
going
to
invite
police
chief
Shanita
Stewart
up
here,
because
I
can
talk
about
buildings
forever,
as
you
guys
know,
but
she
actually
has
quite
a
lot
of
insight
on
the
operational
challenges
that
are
currently
being
faced.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
chief.
X
X
Out,
okay,
hi
everyone,
I'm
Sue,
panarelli
I
am
the
311
and
police
desk
manager,
but
under
my
umbrella,
is
the
facilities
I.
Thank
you.
Chief
steward
I
have
not
been
here
since
1949,
but
close
1984.,
so
I
have
been
around
almost
as
long
a
little
longer
than
the
elevator.
Basically,
the
facility
itself
with
the
elevator
challenges
we
basically
as
we
have
lack
of
space
poor
work
environment
at
this
time.
The
building
does
not
meet
ADA
compliance
or
standards,
and
it's
unable
at
this
time
to
bring
it
to
compliance.
X
Also
the
building
is,
cannot
be
met
with
modern
codes
for
health
and
safety,
and
the
building
does
not
provide
our
police
staff
with
adequate
support,
as
we
adapt
and
just
to
the
new
community
needs.
Also
talk
about
spacing
right
now,
we're
at
58
000
square
feet,
and
we
really
look
at
something
almost
doubling
at
92
000
feet
to
actually
meet
the
needs
of
where
we're
at.
X
All
right,
it's
so
a
little
bit
about
the
building
in
1949,
we
have
increased
two
and
a
half
times
since
then
also
a
very
significant
increase
in
female
Staffing
as
well.
Also
our
training
standards,
the
facility
even
with
is,
is
not
able
to
meet
any
our
training
staff,
basically
what
night
or
what
2023
needs.
X
As
far
as
we
can't
even
do
anything
with
the
facility
to
increase
improvements,
also
officers
now
carry
so
much
more
equipment,
different
equipment
and
different
items
that
it
would
have
inadequate
storage
space
for
that
equipment
as
well
1970s
we
created
9-1-1
into
the
building,
so
that
added
a
lot
of
Technology
as
far
as
the
building
taking
up
a
space
as
well,
very,
very
important
part,
though,
and
I
would
add,
is
311
was
implemented
in
2011,
so
that
added
to
the
building
as
well.
X
Also
over
the
years,
if
you've
been
to
visit
us,
you
can
see
that
it's
piecemeal,
it's
kind
of
Band-Aids
in
different
places.
It's
a
lot
of
fun.
If
you
go
into
the
building,
you
can
never
find
the
exit
to
get
out
of
the
building.
The
way
that
it's
staggered
and
also
even
the
workflow
inside
the
building
is
difficult
for
personnel
from
one
area
or
one
space
to
another.
So
it's
really
deteriorated
spaces,
inadequate
spaces
and
truly
it
discourages
officers
from
coming
and
working
with
us
at
the
City
of
Evanston
Police
Department.
W
W
Does
it
enhance
a
city
and
Department's
goals
of
Engagement,
and
also
is
it
the
foundation
of
Department's
customer
service
right
now,
this
this
building
isn't
from
what
I
see
everyone
wants
to
work
in
a
facility
that
works
and
meets
the
needs
of
not
only
the
job
that
they
do,
but
also
the
needs
of
the
community
that
we're
serving
the
building
currently
doesn't
even
present
doesn't
meet.
The
Power
needs.
I
won't
go
into
too
much,
but
if
you
plug
in
the
a
heater
and
a
toaster
you're,
probably
gonna
lose
power.
W
On
the
second
floor,
I
mean
that's
just
how
bad
it
is.
At
this
point
right
now
we
have
an
officer
that
that
left
that
notified
us
that
one
of
the
deciding
factors
that
it
came
down
to
was
the
facility
difference
and
the
Evanston
Police
Department
facility
in
Arlington
Heights.
Since
that
initial
officer
left,
we
lost
four
more
there
just
to
show
the
importance
of
a
facility
when,
when
individuals
are
determining
where
they
want
to
work
and
what's
available
to
them,
I
also
want
to
mention
the
importance
of
Officer
wellness
and
work
life.
W
You
know
right
now
with
officers
at
12
hour
days,
there's
a
lot
of
times.
They
don't
go
home
they're
held
over
for
emergencies,
they're
held
over
for
four
specs
and
there's
not
even
Advocate
space
for
them
or
quiet
spaces
for
them
to
sleep.
W
We
didn't
put
any
pictures
in
here
and
I
wouldn't,
but
we
have
officers
that
routinely
will
sleep
in
their
car
rather
than
sleep
into
the
police
department.
So
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
paint
a
picture
of
how
dire
need
we
are
to
get
into
the
future.
If
you
look
at
any
other
facilities,
you
know
on
North
Shore
in
Illinois.
We
are
greatly
we
are
we're
still
in
1949.
X
And
just
lastly,
about
with
the
no
elevator
were
struggling
with
Personnel
that
have
mobility
issues
getting
to
their
their
location
in
the
building
to
work
with
one
example
is
one
of
our
is
9-1-1
so
and
it
especially
impacts
them.
X
Also,
inefficiency
within
the
within
our
staff,
within
the
floors
being
able
to
do
things
at
different
levels
of
the
building
so
be
with
the
elevator
being
out
of
service
there'd,
be
areas
of
great
importance
that
would
be
taken
out
of
service,
the
evidence,
Tech
Lab,
being
one
part
of
the
Lockup
in
a
few
other
areas
not
being
accessible
to
one
of
the
locker
rooms.
So
a
lot
of
challenges
with
that
and
basically
just
the
whole
Hazard
of
doing
you
know
the
project
in
that
area
and
the
with
the
walls.
U
No
advances,
thank
you,
so
this
actually
started
in
2022
with
the
elevator
just
being
37
years
old.
At
that
point,
it's
a
hydraulic
elevator.
They
started
losing
hydraulic
fluid
that
provides
the
pressure
to
go
up
and
down,
and
you
can
kind
of
hear
the
elevator
struggling
as
they
were
operating
it.
So
we
called
in
the
company
that
installed
the
elevator.
U
It
is
that
manufactured
the
elevator
original
Kali
and
they
gave
us
a
quote
to
refurbish
the
elevator.
It
takes
a
while
to
get
the
equipment
there's
a
long
procurement
time.
So
we
did
not
start
work
on
that
elevator
until
April
when
they
went
inside
the
Elevator
Shaft
is
when
they
looked
specifically
at
the
top
of
the
Elevator
Shaft.
They
could
see
as
they
pushed
on
the
walls.
You
could
see
them
visibly
move,
and
so
they
took.
U
We
took
the
emergency
change
order
to
fix
the
structural
shaft
and
we
thought
at
that
time
it
was
just
the
side
walls
we
were
hoping.
It
was
just
near
the
top
the
way
that
the
walls
were
built,
and
so
we
were
going
to
include
the
cost
for
really
looking
at
those
two
walls
and
rebuilding
what
we
needed
to
on
those
two
walls,
but
part
of
it
was
to
just
find
out,
as
they
deconstructed
those
two
walls.
U
What
was
in
there
for
structural
reinforcement
they've
since
then
deconstructed
the
two
walls
and
they've
also
noticed
that
the
not
just
the
two
side
walls
but
the
wall,
that
the
doors
for
the
elevator
are
cut
into,
also
is
wobbly
and
there
is
no
structural
reinforcement
in
these
walls.
We
haven't
looked
at
the
fourth
wall
yet,
but
based
on
the
design
of
the
first
three
walls,
the
recommendation
is
to
take
the
walls
all
the
way
down
completely
remove
them
and
rebuild
them
in
masonry.
U
Now,
one
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
is
that
we
were
not
replacing
the
elevator
cab,
it's
a
wood
cab
and
we
were
actually
going
to
use
it
to
do
the
repair
work,
sort
of
as
a
moving
platform,
we'll
work
off
the
top
of
it.
But
in
order
to
reconstruct
them
all
the
way
to
the
foundation,
we
have
to
deconstruct
the
elevator
cab
and
remove
it
out
of
the
elevator
shaft,
and
then
that
requires
us,
because
it's
wood
and
we
don't
think
it's
going
to
go
back
together
that
easily
or
as
high
quality.
U
So
now
they
have
to
procure
a
new
elevator
cab
as
well.
So
this
has
a
long
lead
time.
The
costs
of
this
are
growing.
Actually,
if
you
couldn't
scroll
down
Allison,
please,
okay,
again,
oh
well,
it's
fine!
It
has
a
long
lead
time.
I'll
talk
to
this
and
we
now
need
to
hire
additional
Consultants
that
we
didn't
previously
had.
We
were
working
with
the
structural
con
engineer
here.
That
is
local
kpff.
U
So
they
need
about
12
inches
of
space
in
some
locations
on
some
floors
that
exist,
but
in
other
locations
the
dry
walls
of
the
room
adjacent
to
the
elevator
was
built
right
up
to
the
CMU.
That
requires
us
to
then
pull
the
wall
out
of
the
room.
That's
adjacent
to
the
elevator.
The
most
notable
of
these
is
the
evidence,
processing
room
and
for
that
that
room
actually
has
Plumbing
in
the
wall
that
we
have
to
tear
out
and
electrical
as
well,
there's
a
lot
of
cabinets
on
that
wall,
and
so
we
need
to
contract.
U
U
U
Refurbishment
costs,
then
it
turns
out
we
had
to
do
some
structural
repair,
and
that
was
the
emergency
change
order,
including
the
structural
engineer
that
double
the
cost
of
the
elevator.
But
now
what
we
are
looking
at
is
quite
a
bit
more
just
taking
the
evidence,
room
out
of
service
and
then
having
to
rebuild.
It
is
expensive
by
itself,
and
these
are
all
really
estimated
numbers
at
this
point
in
time.
U
U
In
some
cases
we
may
find
out,
as
we
do,
the
deconstruction
that
we
don't
have
as
much
space
as
we
thought,
and
we
may
need
to
take
additional
rooms
out
of
service
next
slide,
Allison
and
that's
okay,
and
what
I
forgot
to
say
is
that
the
schedule
also
has
grown
quite
a
bit.
So
now,
instead
of
just
being
a
couple
months,
it's
more
like
eight
or
nine
months
that
we're
looking
at-
and
this
is
the
time
period-
that
this
building
all
three
floors
don't
have
elevator
access
to
get
around,
which
impacts
the
Ada
accessibility.
U
U
This
building
has
challenges,
and
this
building
has
challenges
to
have
more
information
about
exactly
what
those
challenges
are,
and
the
staff
also
recognizes
that
in
a
lot
of
cases,
because
a
building
is
a
whole
system
of
systems
that
we
might
not
have
all
of
the
necessary
expertise
in
our
staff
to
do
a
full
evaluation
of
our
buildings.
So
we
have
worked
over
the
last
few
years
to
contract,
with
Consultants,
to
do
of
our
large
critical
facilities
to
do
some
serious
Master
planning
to
really
go
in
and
evaluate
the
quality
of
the
facilities.
U
What
is
the
expected
life
of
the
HVAC?
What
are
the
electrical
system
issues?
Looking
like
and
give
us
recommendations
for
repair
or
in
some
cases
replacement,
so
we
have
contracted
with
AECOM
and
on
the
police
fire
headquarters
and
looking
at
the
service
center,
we've
contracted
with
Salas
O'brien
I'm.
Sorry
AECOM
for
police
fire
headquarters
in
the
Civic
Center
Salas
O'brien
is
doing
a
report
on
noise.
The
service
center
is
being
done
by
Greeley
and
Hansen
and
we
are
getting.
We
have
draft
information
on
all
those
reports.
U
Now
we
are
vetting
it
and
trying
to
we've
responded
back
in
some
cases
with
a
number
of
questions,
but
the
truth
is
is
that
the
city
has
a
number
of
Legacy
facilities.
In
many
cases,
large
buildings
that
are
undergoing
multiple
building
failure,
building
system
failures-
they
haven't
had
a
lot
of
investment
in
the
last
20
or
40
years.
U
But
as
you
can
see,
it
is
a
really
large
dollar
value,
and
so,
as
we
make
decisions
about
police
fire
headquarters,
we
want
the
council
to
have
sort
of
a
bigger
picture
of
some
of
the
challenges
facing
the
city
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
just
talks
about
some
of
why
the
cost
of
these
has
just
really
been
ballooning
and
part
of
it
frankly,
is
just
the
inflation
that
we've
been
seeing
over
the
last
few
years.
U
But
realistically
it's
just
if
you
can
picture
your
house
and
these
buildings
are
infinitely
larger,
more
complex
than
a
single
family
home.
But
if
you
have
a
roof,
that's
leaking
and
you
don't
fix
the
roof
leak.
Then
you
will
have
other
challenges.
If
you
don't
tuck
point,
you
will
over
time
these
things
deteriorate
to
the
point.
The
interior
of
the
Walls
Start
to
rot
out-
maybe
you
get
Vermin
infestations
the
you
haven't:
upgraded
the
electricity
or
the
service
since
1980,
but
since
then,
you've
added
air
conditioning
and
computers
and
all
sorts
of
stuff
like
you.
U
If
you
don't
do
that
regular
maintenance
and
replace
these
Building
Systems.
If
your
furnace
is
40
years
old,
for
example,
then
you
just
get
to
a
situation
where
you
have
to
evaluate
what
am
I
doing
with
this
building
holistically
and
the
cost
is
no
longer
a
single
building
system.
Failure.
It's
the
whole
thing.
This
is
also
Complicated
by
this
last
bullet.
U
Point
that
when
you
get
to
a
situation,
this
is
in
the
international
existing
building
code
that
the
City
of
Evanston
has
adopted,
where
you're
doing
work
that
is
valued
more
than
50
percent
of
the
value
of
the
property.
You
are
expected
by
the
building
code
to
bring
all
of
the
Building
Systems
up
to
par
in
compliance
with
the
building
code,
and
you
are
expected
to
address
things
like
Ada
I
will
use
an
example
of
the
Civic
Center.
U
We
did
evaluation
a
real
estate
appraisal
of
the
Civic
Center
two
years
ago,
and
it
was
estimated
at
10
million
dollars,
but
we
estimate
HVAC
improvements
at
nine
million
dollars.
Now
there
are
a
number
of
systems
in
the
Civic
Center
that
need
to
be
addressed,
but
that
by
itself
would
trigger
bringing
not
just
HVAC
up
to
to
building
codes,
but
also
electrical
Ada
structure.
Fire
proofing,
fire
sprinkler
systems,
like
the
whole
thing,
has
to
all
sudden
be
addressed.
You
have
to
remove
the
asbestos
if
you're
doing
construction.
U
U
So
we
began
a
couple
of
years
ago
and
we
have
undergone
a
number
of
changes
in
management
of
the
city
which
has
sort
of
slowed
this
down.
But
we
began
a
study
with
AECOM
to
look
at
the
feasibility
of
relocating
the
police
fire
headquarters
and
the
Civic
Center,
potentially
together,
could
be
separate.
What
were
the
options
in
terms
of
the
available
properties
in
the
City
of
Evanston?
U
What
will
we
be
looking
for
in
a
new
facility
and
AECOM
has
returned
quite
a
lot
of
information
to
the
staff
about
what
our
options
are
result
there's
a
realm
out
there
of
things,
and
so
what
they've
provided
it's
hard
to
necessarily
sort
through
and
make
decisions
as
to
give
them
feedback
as
to
what
our
best
choices
are
without
getting
in
somewhere
form
a
little
bit
more
information
about
what
the
values
of
the
community
are
as
they're
looking
for,
police
fire
headquarters
and
City
Hall
functions
next
slide.
Is
there
another
slide
after
that
yep?
U
So
here
we
are
tonight.
This
is
the
realm
of
problems
that
we're
addressing
and,
as
we
move
forward
into
the
budget
season
for
2024,
we
really
do
want
to
have
concrete
progress
on
moving
forward
on
some
of
these
projects
or
some
of
these
facilities.
U
So
to
that
end,
here
is
what
the
staff
is
asking
we
put
before
you
resolution
38r23,
which
would
allow
the
city
manager
to
enter
into
architectural
and
Engineering
contracts,
and
we
actually
know
the
actual
price
of
the
proposed
additional
elevator
contract
so
that
we
can
get
that
moving
and
as
soon
as
we
get
a
proposal
that
we're
happy
with.
We
can
move
forward
with
that.
U
Second,
to
let
you
know,
that's
probably
not
the
end
of
things
that
we
would
ask
for
on
police
fire
headquarters,
but
we
feel
like
we're
still
too
early
in
the
project
to
know
what
the
construction
entirely
is
going
to
consist
of.
So
we
will
probably
return
with
additional
requests
for
authorization
to
move
forward
on
construction
as
well
at
a
later
date,
and
then
we,
the
staff.
U
This
is
just
our
next
step
is
we
need
to
determine
what
are
we
going
to
do
with
some
of
our
operational
challenges
as
the
as
the
elevator
is
out
of
service
and
how
we
would
move
forward
with
addressing
things
like
the
evidence
processing
on
a
temporary
basis?
We
have
some
staffing
issues
where
people
can't
quite
get
to
the
second
floor
that
are
Mobility
limited.
So
there
are
some
details
that
we
need
to
work
because
nine
months
is
a
long
time
to
not
have
an
elevator
in
your
three-story
building.
U
What?
If
the
city
council
could
give
us
some
feedback
on
if
they
would
like
to
see
us,
bring
some
staff
recommendations
to
city
council,
a
presentation
of
the
entire
world
of
things?
Should
we
be
doing
public
engagement?
We
would
just
like
to
get
some
feedback
as
to
what
would
be
the
next
steps
on
the
AECOM
study
in
order
to
get
feedback
to
refine
down
the
realm
of
options
for
for
to
get
to
good,
solid
recommendations
that
are
actionable.
A
C
You
know
Grimm
sobering,
I,
don't
know
whatever
you
want
to
call
it,
but
this
is
really
helpful
and
it's
helpful
to
understand.
C
C
I
think
it's
clear
that
we
really
need
to
rethink
the
way
that
we
are
maybe
even
clustering
and
providing
some
of
our
services
recently
was
in
for
a
municipal
conference
in
Long
Beach
and
in
in
their
City.
They
have
a
Civic
Center,
but
it's
actually,
it's
not
just
their
City
Hall.
It's
an
actual
Civic
Center,
where
there
is
a.
C
Words
come
to
my
head
is
Courtyard
but
I'm,
not
trying
to
say
Courtyard
kind
of
a
Plaza
in
between
a
number
of
Civic
buildings.
Their
police
station
is
on
the
same
footprint
and
not
in
the
same
building,
but
on
the
same
land
footprint
as
their
actual
City
Hall,
their
civic
center.
C
They
have
a
Port
Authority,
we
don't,
but
their
Port
Authority
building
is
there
a
number
of
municipal
buildings
their
library
is,
is
in
in
that
same
area
on
this
pretty
large,
truly
Civic
Center
footprint,
and
it
really
you
know,
given
the
number
of
buildings
that
we
need
to
make
substantial,
and
you
know
we
thought
Robert
Crown
was
a
doozy
I'm
looking
at
numbers
that
are
double
some
of
that.
So.
U
V
C
Yeah
and
so
I
I
think
we
really
this
Council
we're
doing
it
we're
starting
to
do
it,
but
I
think
we
really
need
to
nail
this
down
in
the
next
year
or
so
what
we're
going
to
do
with
this
building
and
what
we're
going
to
do
with
the
other
buildings.
So
and
that's
what
you're
asking
us
to
to
do
here
and
so
I
I
one
clearly
supportive
of
replacing
the
elevators
I.
C
Think
that's
a
pretty
obvious
for
all
of
us
that
we
need
to
do
that
and
you
asked
for
direction
about
Community
discussions,
I
think
the
first
folks
we
and
we
have
spoken
to,
but
we
need
to
continue
to
speak
to
her,
the
folks
who
work
in
this
building
every
day,
City
staff
as
well
as,
of
course,
the
residents
who
need
to
access
this
building
for
for
various
Services
and
and
so
I
I
think
we
need
to
start
those
discussions
as
soon
as
possible.
I
think
it.
C
You
know
I
think
we
need
to
give
our
residents
the
same
presentation
and
have
a
make
it
clear
what
what
the
challenges
are
and
I
I'm
I
think
we
need
to
put
everything
on
the
table.
I
think
I
know
some
folks.
In
fact,
leaders
of
groups
who
want
to
protect
this
building
live
in
my
ward,
but
I
think
we
have
to
make
sure
that
everything's
on
the
table
in
order
to
meet
this
huge
challenge
so
I'm.
C
There
there
we
go
1.36
yeah,
with
potentially
being
1.5,
maybe
even
two,
depending
on
how
crazy
things
get.
So
what
is
the
proposed
funding
source
for
this?
Is
this
just
general
fund
balance.
U
At
the
moment,
yes,
so
the
city
budgets,
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
deal
with
facilities
emergencies,
but
that's
not
1.5
million.
In
fact,
we
are
we
have
about
this
time
of
year.
We
have
about
280
000
left
around
there
for
facilities,
contingency
and.
C
And
how
do
we
fund
maintenance
of
our
facilities
generally
and
then
how
do
we
plan
for
replacement
officers?
We
know
that
every
building
has
a
lifespan.
C
If
I
can
introject
really
quick
what
I,
what
I
think
about
is
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
serve
as
the
former
city
clerk
and
so
I
got
a
detailed
look
at
the
clerk's
budget
and
one
of
the
things
that
came
out
of
our
budget
every
year
was
a
fleet
replacement
fees.
Even
you
know,
if
we,
whether
we
used
it
or
not-
and
so
my
question
is,
do
we
have
anything
like
that?
Where
there's
a
line
item,
that's
either
coming
out
of
a
Department's
budget
or
coming
from
somewhere
that
is
dedicated
to
facilities.
Y
It
is
really
pretty
much
just
a
drop
in
the
bucket
for
what
we
would
need
to
really
take
care
of
these
buildings.
Y
I,
don't
know
that
you
know,
there's
never
been
a
a
plan
put
together
to
really
determine
how
much
it
is
that
we
need
to
keep
up
the
maintenance
on
these
buildings.
It's
kind
of
you
know
we're
given
a
certain
amount
and
we
do
the
best
we
can
with
it.
Y
But
we
are
looking
into
working
with
the
city
manager's
office,
looking
into
doing
evaluations
of
three
of
the
facilities
to
kind
of
get
a
better
idea
of
exactly
what
that
would
break
down
to,
and
it's
been
a
recommendation
of
ours
for
for
a
long
time
that
we
really
dig
into
that
and
plan
that
out
accordingly,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
have
either
proper
maintenance
maintenance
funding
or
determine
what
the
best
route
is
to
take
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
facilities
that
we
have.
Y
Y
So
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
planning.
It's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
you
know,
time
time,
commitment
from
staff,
but
one
of
the
challenges
that
we've
had
also
is
the
amount
of
Staffing
that
we
have.
You
know
it's
facilities
and
Fleet
Management's
job
to
manage
these
facilities
and
the
systems
within
them
and
the
assets
within
them.
Y
We
work
closely
with
engineering
and
with
our
operating
departments
to
try
to
do
the
best
we
can
to
meet
their
needs,
but
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done,
and
you
know
we've
got
a
very
limited
budget,
so.
C
Geez
all
right
so
then
I'll
start
to
wrap
up
where
I'll
be
wrapping
up
with
this,
which
is
you
know
or.
F
C
You
asked
the
council
for
more
funding
for
your
division
for
your
department
to
make
sure
that
you
have
enough
to
keep
up
and
if
not,
then.
Z
C
C
Y
So
we've
we've
had
discussions
about
it.
You
know
with
Finance
with
with
other
with
the
city
manager's
office,
but
I,
don't
think
we've
really
been
able
to
you
know:
I,
don't
think
it's
anyone's
fault.
We
really
haven't
been
able
to
get
our
get
our
hands
in
there
and
really
understand
what
it
is
we
need.
So
we
haven't
come
formally
with
their
requests
and
said
you
know
we.
We
need
a
budget
of
this
much
because
we
just
don't.
We
haven't
had
a
time
and
the
Staffing
to
really
figure
that
out.
Yet
the.
C
Last
thing
I'll
say
and
then
ask
a
question
to
close
out.
My
time
are,
we
are,
we
are
you
all?
Is
your
department
using
any
software
to
track?
I
was
asked
a
similar
question
of
about
our
water
lines
earlier
I
think
you
recently
did
upgrade
to
to
something
correct.
Y
So
we
recently
started
up
with
a
program
program
called
viewworks.
It's
not
without
its
challenges,
but
it's
it's
allowing
us
an
opportunity
to
finally
get
in
and
keep
some
better
records,
keep
track
of
what
we're
putting
into
these
buildings
on
a
yearly
basis.
But
that's
also
going
to
be
something
that's
going
to
take
time
to
build
up
that
database
and
really
get
a
better
understanding
of
you
know
what
it
is
that
we
need
to
put
into
these
facilities
each
year
and.
C
This
really
has
been
closing
out.
I
I
have
long
advocated
for
us
looking
into
creating
Enterprise
funds
for
various
services
that
we
provide.
I
think
we
need
to,
and
particularly
for
facilities,
I
think
it
would
benefit
us
to
look
at
our
facilities
as
an
Enterprise,
so
we're
collecting
the
revenue
that
we
need
to
keep
up
with
our
facilities,
so
we're
clear
on
opportunities
for
renting
spaces
out
to
to
gain
revenue,
and
also
you
know,
hopefully,
to
help
pay
for
software
that
can
help
us
again.
C
We
have
60
facilities
spread
out
across
our
city
and
I,
know
previously
I
think
a
colleague
of
mine
wanted
to
get
records
on
maintenance
of
certain
facilities,
and
it
was
difficult
because
of
the
limited
budget
that
we
as
the
council
have
provided
to
your
department.
Historically,
it
was
almost
impossible
for
you
to
pull
some
of
that
up
in
a
timely
fashion,
or
maybe
even
at
all,
and
so
I
I
certainly
look
forward
to
the
2024
budget.
C
You
know,
maybe
you
won't
get
everything
asked
for,
but
certainly
and
manager
Stowe.
This
is
really
for
you
for
every
Department
to
come
to
us
and
really
ask
for
what
they
need,
and
so
we
do
have
to
really
make
those
tough
decisions
about
priorities
and
I
think
this
is
an
area
that
really
requires
that,
given
what
the
the
liability
can
be,
you
know
on
that
other
slide
of
several
hundred
million
dollars
if
we
don't
keep
up
with
it
appropriately.
Thank
you.
T
So
I
won't
belabor
the
point,
but
I
do
want
to
be.
We
have
to
do
better
care,
we're
letting
our
facilities
fall
apart,
that's
horrendous,
and
then
we
have
no
choice
but
to
make
these
repairs
at
our
dire
and
ADA
Compliant.
So
we
do
need
to
come
up
with
something
that
is
a
maintenance
log
maintenance
schedules,
something
that
keeps
us.
T
So
this
doesn't
happen
right
and
it
keeps
happening
you
can.
If
you
have
an
answer,
that's
fine!
If
not,
but
if
we're
going
to
allocate
money
and
we're
going
to
need
to
we're
going
to
need
to
look
at
a
fire
department
and
a
police
headquarters,
I,
don't
Chief
Stewart's
going
to
kill
me,
but
I,
don't
know
that
criminals
need
to
have
a
fancy
place
to
be,
but
that's
okay.
We
still
have
to
upgrade
the
places,
but
we
have
to
have
maintenance
logs
and
schedules
so
that
we
know
you
buy
a
home.
T
Y
Right
so
one
one
comment
that
I
want
to
make
on.
T
F
Y
You
know
we
do
have
a
preventative
maintenance
schedule.
We've
got
PMS
that
are
regularly
scheduled
that
we
try
to
tackle,
and
you
know
so
all
that's
in
place.
What
we
struggle
a
little
bit
with
sometimes
is
that
Staffing,
you
know
I'm
not
quite
sure
that
we
have
the
right
number
of
Staff
members
support
staff
to
to
help
maintain
these.
We
do
work
with
a
number
of
vendors
to
to
tackle
some
of
this.
Y
Those
things
are
in
place.
It's
just
a
matter
of
having
the
resources
to
to
take
care
of
them,
and
you
know
when
you
spread
that
across
60
60
facilities,
you
know
and
and
that
60
has
gotten
to
this
point,
because
we
we
add
properties,
but
we
don't
add,
support
staff
right.
We
we
pick
up
new
properties,
Facilities
Management
has
to
manage
and
maintain
those,
but
there's
not
any
additional
Tradesmen
that
get
brought
on
board
or
additional
funding,
and
so
that's
something
to
keep
in
mind
as
we
go.
Yeah
no.
T
So
I
know
that,
but
moving
forward
are
there
apprenticeships
where
we
can
find
people?
Are
you
working
well.
Y
So
we
are
working
right
now
with
Nathan
Norman
and
his
team.
Actually,
the
end
of
this
month
will
be
bringing
forward
a
couple
apprenticeship
positions
in
facilities
and
Fleet.
That
will
help
to
give
us.
You
know
some
additional
hands
and
also
allow
us
to
train
some
folks
and
and
provide
them
with
some
skills
and
and
education
about
our
Industries
yeah.
So
so
there
is
some
of
that
that
we'll
be
looking
forward
to
and
hopefully
gaining
approval
on.
So
okay.
T
E
What
I
just
want
to
thank
all
the
staff
members
who
made
themselves
available
for
the
tour
we
had
of
the
police
department,
and
that
was
really
helpful
if
you
saw
me
kind
of
catching
up
with
things
while
the
while
they
were
going
through.
The
presentation
is
because
we
spent
maybe
an
hour
or
two
felt
like
two
hours,
was
that
two
hours
I
was
gonna,
say
that
felt
like
all
of
two
hours,
but
it
was
really
helpful
to
to
kind
of
get
in
there
and
and
see
up
close
to
personal.
E
What's
going
on
so
I
appreciate
everybody
that
made
themselves
available
for
that,
are
we
paying
a
deferred
maintenance
fee
in
a
sense,
or
is
there
a
cost
to
deferring
maintenance
as
much
as
we
are?
If.
U
That
makes
sense
there
is
a
cost
yeah.
So
we
talk
about
just
this
particular
situation.
That
brings
us
here
tonight
with
the
elevator
that
200
000
ish
to
refurbish
an
elevator.
We
we
I,
we
spend
about
five
million
dollars
a
year
in
our
CIP
on
Capital
Improvements
across
all
of
these
facilities,
and
that
200
000
is
kind
of
what
we
would
expect
to
see,
but
the
structural
failure
of
the
Elevator
Shaft
is
just
out
of
left
field.
U
That's
not
I
mean
we
know
of
a
lot
of
challenges
that
our
police
station
building
is
currently
facing,
not
not
the
least
of
which
is
actually
the
chillers
are
in
such
bad
condition
that
even
if
we
want
to
move
from
the
police
station,
we
probably
have
to
fix
the
chillers
first,
but
the
we
can't
predict
all
the
ways
in
which
a
failure
will
occur
and
now
we're
on
the
hook
for
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
worth
of
repair
work.
We
don't
want
to
do
because
we
want
to
potentially
get
out
of
this
building.
U
Certainly
we
don't
want
to
spend
it.
What
before
we
make
that
decision-
and
we
just
we-
don't-
have
a
choice
like
we're:
we're
not
even
com,
you
know
doing
a
real
competition
to
figure
out
who's
going
to
be
the
best
designer
who's
going
to
be
the
best
better
we're
just
trying
to
hire
somebody
as
fast
as
we
can
so
that
we
can
move
forward.
So
you
do
lose
something
when
it's
always
an
emergency.
The
service
center
is
another
situation.
U
We
just
periodically
get
a
structural
failure
there,
particularly
on
called
building
D,
which
includes
a
parking
Jack,
Over
The
Bays,
where
the
garage
Bays,
where
we
store
the
heavy
Vehicles
like
sanitation
vehicles,
and
it's
like
one
day,
there's
a
chunk
of
concrete
on
the
floor,
and
it's
like.
Oh,
my
goodness,
Here
We,
Go
Again
get
some
scaffolding
fi,
find
an
emergency
structural
engineer
figure
out
a
solution
as
fast
as
we
can,
because
that's
where
our
staff
parks
and
that's
where
our
buildings
are
so
yeah,
you
pay
a
premium
every
time.
There's
an
emergency.
E
I
appreciate
it
then
I
I
brought
it
up
because
I
and
you
know
credit
to
councilmember,
Kelly
I
think
she
emphasizes
with
pensions
that
there's
this
hidden
cost
to
not.
You
know
fully
funded
pensions
and
I
think
that
the
same
is
true
here,
maybe
in
a
different
way,
but
but
it's
still
true
do
has
there?
Are
there
any
examples
in
the
last
eight
years,
or
maybe
a
little
bit
more
aware
where
a
repair
you
know
need
came
up
that
we
needed
to
address,
couldn't
address
whatever
it?
E
Is
that
impacted
the
you
know
whether
or
not
we
can
provide
a
service
or
program
at
all
or
impact
it
in
a
way
where
it
it
diminished
it
in
any
way,
can
you
think
of
some
examples
and
I
asked
this
because
there's
a
cost
that
I
just
talked
about,
which
is
important,
but
also
it's
like
we,
you
know
one
way
to
think
about.
Is
we
maintain
not
only
our
facilities
but
but
the
streets
Ed
at
a
point
in
which
people
feel
like
things
are
working
correctly
and
at
the
point
in
which
most
everyone
is
satisfied.
E
I
think
a
lot
about
that.
In
terms
of
our
role
just
like
yeah,
we
could
repair
every
single
crack
and
and
instead
of
patching
it
up.
But
if
the
public
is
generally
okay
with
the
quality.
You
know
that
the
facilities
of
the
roads
are
being
maintained
and
that's
different
than
if
it's
impacting
the
quality
of
services
or
programs
that
we
deliver
to
take
it
back
to
our
facility.
So
I'm
just
wondering
what
is
the
kind
of
everyday
impact
of
not
maintaining
the
facilities
in
the
way
that
we
may
need
to
I.
E
U
I'm
just
going
to
actually
talk
about
the
road
thing
that
you
taught
the
transportation.
So
there
is
a
situation
where,
10
years
ago,
every
road
was
in
terrible
shape
and
what
we
did
as
a
public
works
department.
This
was
no
one
person's
brainstorm.
As
we
started
with
a
lot
of
smaller
contracts.
We
we
couldn't
possibly
fund
the
full
resurfacing
of
every
street.
That
needs
to
be
resurfaced,
but
we
have
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
of
large-scale
patching.
We
have
regular
pavement,
marking
regular
crack
ceiling.
U
We
do
pavement
Rejuvenation
two
years
after
a
street
through
surface
which
refreshes
the
oil
layer
that
protects
the
asphalt
and
it
extends
the
life
of
the
street
by
an
estimated
five
years
for
a
very
small
incremental
fee.
So
when
we
put
our
heads
together
and
do
the
incremental
stuff
up
front,
Ten,
Years
Later,
not
to
say
we
don't
have
deteriorated
streets,
but
it
was
a
Non-Stop
complaint
that
happened
all
the
time
everywhere.
Why
is
my
screen
not
being
resurfaced
this
year?
U
So,
yes,
I,
have
my
own
Robert.
Crown
was
certainly
that
way
before
we
fixed
it
fire
station
for
last
a
couple
years
ago,
where
we
had
to
take
the
station
out
of
service
for
like
three
or
four
months
while
we
fixed
everything
increases
the
response
times,
and
that
was
a
problem
with
a
poor
design,
compounded
by
a
situation
where
we
knew
there
were
humidity.
Issues
in
the
building
facilities
was
trying
to
tackle
them
in
a
very
like
we
have
a
humidity
problem.
U
This
is
what
we
can
do
without
hiring
an
engineer,
and
you
know
really
was
doing
their
best
to
deal
with
it,
and
then
we
had
an
eye
standing
problem
in
the
roof
and
we
went
and
looked
at
the
roof
Decades
of
humidity
problems.
Mold
corrosion
like
it
was
just
that's
what
happens
when
you're
not
doing
regular
inspections?
I'll,
let
you
talk
about
sure
some
more.
Y
You
know
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
there
are
a
lot
of
close
calls
that
we
go
through
and
between
facilities
and
Fleet,
Management
and
engineering
we've
somehow
been
able
to
make
it
through
some
of
these,
but
I
think
these
out
of
these
six
projects
that
you
know,
we've
highlighted
tonight.
Y
There's
there's
opportunities
for
there
to
be
a
failure
in
the
service
center
or
in
the
police
headquarters,
where
it's
gonna,
you
know,
knock
knock
the
operations
out
of
commissions
in
some
in
some
ways
you
know
when
we
think
about
other
buildings
that
are,
you
know,
a
little
less
critical
there.
There's
ways
to
kind
of
you
know,
work
around
that
and
you
know,
work
temporarily
from
from
home,
maybe
send
some
people
to
work
remotely
or
from
a
different
location
when
it
comes
to
things
like
the
service
center
and
the
police
headquart
fire
headquarters.
Y
Y
We
have
had
a
lot
of
close
calls
and
and
somehow
we
make
it
work,
but
it's
just
a
matter
of
time
before
you
know
we
have
a
major
failure
with
the
chillers
Lara
was
talking
about
at
the
PD
headquarters.
Those
have
been
ready
to
go
for
a
while,
but
we're
keeping
them
together
and
keeping
it
going.
But
it's
just
a
matter
of
time
so.
Y
E
And
then
last
question
for
me:
do
you
think
we
have
enough
that
we
have
staff
capacity
to
run
the
type
of
Community
engagement
process
that
you
think
the
community
would
will
want
in
this.
U
Sort
of
we
will
consult.
We
will
use
the
consultant
to
do
some
of
it.
Okay,
right
now
we're
down
a
position
actually
in
our
Phyllis
facilities
and
Parks
staff
in
engineering
and
that's
vacant,
and
so
that's
impacting
our
ability
to
keep
up.
It's
like.
U
We
have
all
these
reports
that
we're
sifting
through
that
we
want
to
present
to
city
council
and
it's
been
a
slow
roll
slower
than
we
would
want
roll
out
because
we're
struggling
with
just
we
had
a
person
retire
and
but
he
sent
a
whole
bunch
of
stuff
out
to
bid
right
before
he
retired.
So
we
really
have
no
choice
but
to
get
that
stuff
done,
because
the
contractors
on
site
and
so
yeah
we
could.
Even
if
we
were
fully
staffed
with
three
people,
we
could
use
additional
assistance
in
that
and
in
Parks
actually.
E
And
the
last
thing,
just
as
people
are
making
their
comments,
if
you
can
speak
to
what
you
would
like
to
see
in
a
community
engagement
process,
because
whether
it's
voted
up
or
down
I
plan
to
make
a
motion
to
move
that
part
forward.
I
think
we've
been
sitting
on
this
for
a
bit
longer
than
we
need
to,
and
we
need
to
move
things
forward.
So
if
you
can
speak
to
that,
it'll
be
helpful.
Thank
you
and
and
plan
and
support
the
anything
in
our
fire
department.
E
Z
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I'll
I'll
beat
the
horse
a
little
bit
more
about
not
repeating
our
past
mistakes
and
really
doing
what
it
takes
to
invest
in
the
maintenance
and
upkeep
of
these
facilities,
and
that's
on
staff
to
let
counsel
know
what's
needed,
and
it's
also
on
Council
to
approve
that
request
and
if
staff
says
we
need
two
and
a
half
ftes
to
maintain
the
Civic
Center.
We
can't
get
distracted
by
some
other
Bell
and
whistle
and
say
yeah.
You
guys
can
do
it
on.
Z
You
know
with
with
maybe
one
person
and
yeah
you
know,
and
then
they
can
sweep
the
floors.
It's
it's
a
council
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
what
it
takes
to.
You
know
maybe
spend
a
little
bit
of
more
money
on
an
annual
basis,
but
that
avoids
much
bigger
future
expenses
and
council
member
Burns
made
a
good
point
about
the
similarity
with
pensions
and
I
think
there's
some
similar
thinking
there.
Z
So
then
number
two,
the
Elevator
Shaft,
was
built
in
1985
and
whoever
was
involved
in
that
is
long
gone.
But
it
seems
to
me
that
was
not
built
correctly,
not
designed
or
engineered
or
constructed
correctly
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
there
are
not
similar
problems
tied
to
the
same
people
or
team
or
groups
or
companies
that
you
know
work
that
was
done
around
that
same
time
in
other
City
facilities
that
might
be
waiting
to
jump
out
at
us.
Z
For
you
know
another,
you
know
million
dollars
worth
of
surprise
expenses,
so
we
talked
about
that
a
little
bit.
I
think
that's
worth
that's
worth
tying
down,
but
I
really
like
to
look
ahead
and
given
all
of
our
capital
projects
that
we
have
in
our
future,
the
Civic
Center,
the
police
and
fire
headquarters.
We
don't
yet
know
if
they're
going
to
be
brand
new
buildings
and
we
don't
know
or
or
gut
rehabs
in
their
current
locations
or
tear
downs.
Z
We
don't
know
exactly
what
we're
going
to
do
yet
and
at
this
point,
I'd
like
to
keep
all
options
on
the
table,
we're
going
to
get
a
lot
of
information
when
we
get
the
report
from
AECOM
and
we're
going
to
have
to
schedule
some,
probably
the
specials
or
multiple
special
orders
of
business,
to
have
some
really
important
discussions
when
we
get
that
report.
But
for
now
I
want
to
keep
all
options
on
the
table
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
too
early
to
start
thinking
about
where
this
money
is
going
to
come
from.
Z
We
don't
know
exactly
what
we're
going
to
do.
We
don't
know
exactly
how
much
it's
going
to
cost,
but
it's
going
to
cost
an
awful
lot
and
spending
some
time
kind
of
proactively
thinking
about
where
we
can
find
this
money.
It
might
inform
our
discussion
about
what
we
what
options
we
we
choose
down
the
road.
Z
So
if
that's
a
referral
to
finance
and
budget
or
to
staff,
to
come
up
with
some
recommendations
or
start,
you
know
start
some
evaluation
about
potential
funding
sources
for
this
I'd
like
to
initiate
that
process
and
then
meanwhile,
given
all
that's
wrong
with
the
the
police
headquarters,
it
would
seem
prudent
to
have
a
contingency
plan
like
we
don't
have
a
backup
police
department.
Z
The
police
headquarters
are
the
fire
headquarters,
that's
administrative.
We
could
move
that
somewhere
else.
If
we
had
to,
if
something
drastic,
even
more
drastic
happened
to
the
police
headquarters,
we
don't
have
a
backup
plan.
There's
not
a
police
station
number,
two
that
we
can
fall
back
on,
so
I
would
hate
to
have
to
Avail
ourselves
of
an
emergency.
You
know
contingency
plan
for
the
police
department,
but
it
would
probably
not
be
a
bad
idea
to
at
least
sketch
out
what
our
response
might
be.
AA
Thank
you,
I
also
just
wanted
to
mention
accessing
records
and
record
keeping
and
I
think
the
good
news
is
right.
We
just
recently
hired
somebody
for
that
purpose,
which
I
don't
know
if
either
of
you
want
to
speak
to
that,
but
I
think
that
should
help
in
terms
of
hopefully
I'm
budgeting
for
maintenance
going
forward
and
understanding
yeah.
Y
Y
You
know
get
some
of
the
records
in
place
that
we
that
we've
been
missing,
I'm
not
gonna
lie.
We've
got
a
long
way
to
go,
but
but
but
it's
a
it's
definitely
a
thing
that
was
desperately
needed,
that
we
are
moving
forward
with.
AA
It's
great
and
I
would
say
just
in
terms
of
your
question:
Miss
figs,
I
think
yeah.
If
we
can
get
some
scenarios
together,
options
and
present
them
have
public,
whether
they're
town
halls
or
at
all
the
ward
meetings
to
get
public
feedback
I
think
any
decisions
going
forward
will
go
much
more
smoothly.
Thank
you.
AB
By
Revell
yeah,
thank
you
I'll.
Be
brief,
I'd
like
to
request
that
we
have
an
executive
session
on
this
I
think
there
are
things
that
are
appropriate
necessary
to
talk
about
at
our
next
meeting
relating
to
police
fire
headquarters
that
need
to
be
discussed
in
executive
session
and
also
I
just
want
to
I.
AB
Don't
want
to
put
anybody
on
the
spot,
but
Sue
I
heard
you
Chief
Stuart
I
heard
you
Chief
follow-up,
happy
belated
birthday,
but
I
have
talked
to
you
about
this
before
you're,
not
asking
us
to
fix
this
building
you're
asking
us
to
plan
for
the
future
of
police
and
fire
headquarters
in
an
appropriate
location
in
a
building
that
meets
the
needs
of
those
departments
and
the
residents
they
serve
correct.
AB
Just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
understood
that
and
again
my
request
is
that
we
put
decided
for
discussion
in
an
executive
session
at
our
next
meeting.
W
AB
Okay,
I
mean
I,
think
it's
it's
critical,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
the
police
department
that
we
remember
that
the
people
who
are
in
custody
in
the
police
department
still
enjoy
the
presumption
of
innocence
and
it's
critical
that
we
take
that
into
account
as
we
plan
and
and
build
this
building.
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
comment
and
again,
I
think
there's
further
discussion.
That's
appropriate
an
executive.
W
AB
W
V
Well,
I'll
be
brief
as
well:
I
thought
the
tour
of
the
police
and
fire
headquarters
was
enlightening.
I,
don't
I,
mean
I,
really
really
dramatically
eye-opening
and
underscore
the
need
the
serious
need
for
not
just
for
us
to
replace
the
elevator,
but
to
really
rethink.
You
know
a
totally
new
facility.
So
you
know,
we've
talked
a
lot
this
evening
about
maintenance
and
I.
You
know
I
agree
with
my
colleagues.
V
We
really
need
to
be
sure
to
be
doing
a
much
better
job,
investing
in
maintenance
on
an
annual
basis,
but
the
then
the
elevator
decision
is
a
short-term
decision,
but
we
really
need
to
not
wait
any
longer
before
we
start
talking
about
the
both
police
and
fire
headquarters
and
that
that
brings
us
then
right
away
to
talk
about
a
future
of
the
Civic
Center,
because
we
may
want
to
co-locate
these
facilities
so
so
Laura.
When
are
we
expecting
to
be
able
to
talk
about
the
Acom
report?.
U
U
As
we
can,
it
takes
a
while
to
get
public
meetings
scheduled,
if
that's
the
road
that
we're
going
so
I
would
partly
because
our
council
members
sometimes
struggle
with
many
meetings
on
their
schedule.
So
but
we'll
work
with
the
city
council
and
we'll
work
to
get
something
scheduled
this
summer
already
and.
V
AC
I
just
want
to
Echo
what
others
have
said
about
record
keeping
one
thing
I
remember
hearing
this
years
ago,
when
we
were
looking
for
a
home,
a
building
inspector
told
us
that
you
only
see
20
to
30
percent
of
the
actual
home,
because
everything's
covered
up
like
a
drywall
and
when
you're
dealing
with
these
old
buildings.
There
are
always
surprises,
and
so
let's
plan
for
the
future,
so
that
there
will
be
no
surprises.
A
I'll
add
just
a
few
quick
thoughts.
First
of
all,
thank
you
very
much
for
this
very
sobering
presentation.
A
So
just
a
few
quick
principles
that
I
bring
to
this
first
of
all,
I
want
to
Echo
what
councilmember
Ravel
said.
The
yeah
I
feel
like
I,
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
the
police
station.
A
That
tour
was
troubling
and
and
surprising-
and
you
know,
we've
had
a
lot
of
conversation
around
here,
understandably
so
for
the
course
of
the
last
few
years
about
trying
to
understand
our
challenges
with
the
Personnel
retention
in
the
police
department,
and
one
thing
that
I
can
tell
you
for
sure
is
that
building
does
not
send
a
message
of
your
valued
and
we
need
to
have
a
police
station
that
sends
the
message
your
valued
to
the
folks
who
work
there.
A
A
It
needs
to
be
a
serious
holistic
all-in
building
of
the
police
department
this
that
this
Community
needs
in
order
to
provide
the
Public
Safety
Services
that
we
need
I
want
to
Echo
something
that
was
also
said
a
couple
times
like
we're
way
overdue
for
a
really
comprehensive
version
of
this
conversation,
and
so
I
would
just
throw
my
lot
in
with
those
who
said,
let's
do
a
serious,
comprehensive,
360,
Degrees
discussion
with
all
options
on
the
table
soon
and
the
last
thing
I'll
say
and
I
think
this
may
be
the
place
where
I'm,
maybe
not
on
the
same
page
as
everybody
I
want
this
to
be
as
pragmatic
a
decision
as
possible.
A
A
Here
we're
talking
about
fundamentally
functional
facilities
and
I
I
would
like
us
to
be
as
pragmatic
as
possible
and
evaluating
all
the
different
options
and
then
choosing
the
one
that
makes
the
most
sense
from
the
point
of
view
of
functionality
for
the
folks
utilize.
Those
facilities,
which
is
to
say
primarily
the
employees
and
cost
which
is
going
to
be
the
cost,
is
going
to
be
brutal,
no
matter
what
and
so
I
think
that
gives
us
a
special
responsibility
to
be
as
meticulous
as
possible
about
watching
watching
what
that
cost
winds
up
being.
X
V
A
E
Motion,
I'm,
not
sure
if
emotion
is
needed
at
this
point
as
long
as
you
feel
Lord,
you
have
clearer
direction
for
next
next
steps
separate
from
this
as
well,
because
this
is
for
Action
just
to
and
I
may
have
misunderstood,
councilmember
suffering.
But
we
are
being
asked
to
vote
on
tonight
on
repairing
the
elevator,
though
well.
U
U
We're
asking
to
approve
resolution,
38
R23,
to
authorize
the
city
manager
to
negotiate
that
final
cost
and
get
that
architect
under
contract
with
the
MEP
Services,
as
well
as
the
Contra
to
execute
the
contract
with
Kali
elevator
for
the
additional
work
that
they
need
to
do
now
that
they're,
taking
apart
the
elevator
or
completely,
and
that
we
have
a
cost
I'm.
Sorry,
don't
quite
remember:
120
7.,.
E
You
know
I
brought
that
up,
because
I
made
a
comment
during
the
tour
that
I
always
feel
uncomfortable,
paying
putting
money
into
something
that
we
may
need
to
demo.
At
some
point,
the
you
know
the
the
police
department
being
one
of
those
things
that
we
may
decide
that
we
want
to
build
something
new
and
I.
E
Think
the
response
you
gave
me
is
it
would
take
we're
talking
about
a
multi-year
process
before
we
have
a
new
building
or
whatever
it
is
we
come
up
with
and
that
the
elevator
in
particular-
and
maybe
a
few
other
items
can't
wait.
That
long,
because
there's
some
Ada
issues
I
think
because
it
had
some
possible
civil
rights
issues
that
have
that
have
come
up.
And
so
can
you
confirm
that
that
we
are
being
at?
We
will
be
actually.
E
U
So
I
mean
if
we
decide
really
quickly
to
move
forward.
It's
still
public
engagement
decide
on
what
we're
doing
get
a
consultant.
They
do
a
design
go
out
to
bid
get
construction
like
that
process.
We
are
five
years
from
moving
into
a
refurbished
or
new
space.
So
it
does
take
a
long
time
to
do
these
kinds
of
big
projects.
The
elevator,
you
really
I
would
strongly
recommend
you
repair
the
elevator.
A
So
the
only
person
requesting
to
speak
at
this
time
is
out
of
time.
So
I'll
give
you
just
a
moment.
Councilmember
read
with
to
and
yes.
C
C
There
was
a
time
in
our
country,
When
government
when
we
constructed
buildings
that
were
beautiful
buildings
that
would
rival
any
private
sector
building
and
I
do
think
that
it's
worth
looking
at
you
know,
particularly
with,
like
our
Civic
Center,
our
police
station,
some
of
those
buildings,
I'm
not
saying
break
the
bank
here,
but
I
do
think
there.
There
is
a
worth,
and
it's
I
think
it's
worth
staff
looking
into.
If
we
build
a
nice
building,
a
nice
beautiful
building.
How
does
that
impact
land
values
in
adjacent
properties?
C
And
is
there
potentially
a
you
know,
return
on
investment
for
actually
building
something
that
adds
value
to
the
community
rather
than
you
know,
Walmart
style,
building,
that's
just
a
square
functional,
but
not
beautiful
and
doesn't
add
character.
Doesn't
you
know
really
show
that
the
values
of
our
city,
their
static
values
for
our
city,
so
with
that
I
will
end?
Thank
you.
AC
A
A
That
brings
us
to
the
consent
agenda
for
the
evening.
The
only
item
that
I
think
may
not
stay
on
the
consent
agenda
is
item
P2,
which
did
not
was
not
passed
or
I
think
even
considered
in
P
and
D.
What
else
would
folks
like
to
see
removed
from
the
consent
agenda.
A
AB
Yeah
yeah
A2
Please,
Mr
Mayor.
C
Z
Which
is
the
the
gun?
Safety
hs2.
C
E
E
C
C
In
that
case,
I
will
move
the
consent
agenda.
Second,.
A
AC
A
With
nine
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against,
the
motion
carries
and
the
consent
agenda,
with
the
exception
of
the
items
previously
read,
is
passed.
We're
going
to
begin
the
long
list
of
additional
items
with
the
HS
section,
with
hs1,
followed
by
hs2
I,
think
you're,
the
chair
right.
So
what
council
member
Harris
care
to
make
a
motion
relative
to
item
hs1?
Yes,.
T
I
move
for
the
resolution.
36R23
approval
of
an
honorary
street
name
sign
for
why
did
I
just
lose
my
train
of
thought,
Janet,
Alexander,
Way,
Davis
way
with
honors.
C
C
I
I
got
to
say
this
during
Human
Services,
but
you
weren't
there
miss
Alexander,
I,
recall
first
meeting
you
it
had
to
be
yeah
2016,
so
not
not
as
long
as
some
other
folks
have
had
the
experience
with
you,
but
we're
working
with
the
Nina
Cavin
to
create
a
an
event
in
the
Fifth
Ward
at
Twix
Park
and
from
there
I
got
to
see
not
only
dedication
to
our
youth,
but
then
your
dedication
to
the
environment
and
to
environmental
justice,
and
so
it's
just
been
an
honor
to
have
had
the
opportunity
to
be
in
your
presence
and
and
learn
from.
C
You
know
the
the
lifetime
of
service
that
you've
committed
to
our
community
and
to
various
issues
that
impact
all
kinds
of
folks
throughout
the
community,
so
really
honored
to
be
able
to
sit
up
here
in
a
moment
when
we're
getting
ready
when
we're
having
the
opportunity
to
recognize
your
work.
So
thank
you.
T
Everybody
else
is
like
no
and
she's
like
yes,
that
we
shared
between
the
second
and
Fifth
Ward
I,
don't
know
where
the
coyote
went,
but
it
has
been
my
honor
to
know
you,
my
family,
to
know
you
for
the
services
that
you
have
provided
Evanston.
We
owe
you
more
than
naming
a
street
after
you,
but
that
is
one
of
the
highest
Honors
that
we
can
bestow
to
you
from
the
seat
that
we
sit
in
and
we
appreciate
you
and
for
myself.
E
I'm
going
to
save
most
of
my
comments
until
the
ceremony
and
I
would
invite
everybody
to
attend
the
ceremony,
which
is
a
lot
going
on,
but
July
22nd
is
that
correct,
July,
22nd
I
believe
that
ceremony
is
going
to
start
at
2
p.m.
Ish,
2,
P.M
and
so
I
would
invite
everybody
here,
but
also
the
listening
Community
to
to
attend.
So
I'll
say
most
of
my
comments
for
that
event.
E
But
just
want
to
say
if
there
was
a
a
community
engagement
Hall
of
Fame,
that
without
question
Miss
Alexander
Davis
would
be
a
first
ballot
nominee
for
sure
they.
No
one
told
me
that
when
you
that's
when
you're
elected
to
Fifth
Ward
council,
member,
that
it
comes
with
the
Janet
Alexander
Davis,
but
I'm
glad
it
did
because
she
has
been
a
tremendous
support
not
only
to
me
but
council
members
going
back
at
least
to
Alderman
homes,
and
that's
just
a
small
kind
of
role
that
she
volunteers
to
play
here
in
our
community.
E
So
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
But
thank
you
so
much
tremendously
for
everything
that
you
have
done
for
Evanston
and
and
I'm
honored
to
be
able
to
support
this
recommendation
tonight.
A
Z
You
Mr
Mayor
I'll,
extend
my
thanks
and
appreciation
to
Ms
Davis
I
first
came
in
contact
with
you
and
I
was
chairman
of
the
Utilities
Commission,
and
you
brought
me
into
a
conversation
with
some
of
the
Neighbors
about
the
the
pump
station
on
Church
Street,
so
I
appreciate
your
involvement.
There
I
hope
that
issue
has
not
proven
to
be
the
headache
that
people
were
afraid
of,
but
thank
you
for
your
years
of
work
with
the
environmental
justice.
Evanston
group
I
appreciate
that
and
I'm
going
to
coin
a
new
acronym,
not
wwjd,
but
wwjdd.
A
A
To
quickly
add
my
thanks,
you
know
before
I
became
mayor
Ms
Alexander
Davis
was
willing
to
give
some
of
her
time
to
advise
me
on
environmental
issues,
and
you
know
obviously
I
learned
a
lot
from
that.
Obviously,
I
benefited
tremendously
from
her
knowledge
on
those
issues,
but
the
thing
that
really
sticks
with
me
was
that
her
advice
was
never
narrow.
It
wasn't
here's
how
to
think
about
one
environmental
issue.
It
was
here's
how
to
connect
that
with
the
budgetary
challenges
facing
the
city.
A
Here's
how
to
connect
that
with
the
equity
challenges
facing
the
city.
Here's
how
the
my
history
in
the
city
teaches
me
to
understand
not
just
the
issue
before
us
right
now,
but
what
the
direction
is
going
and
how
it's
going
to
affect
people
in
the
future.
If
we
don't
do
something
about
it
and
I
just
found
that
really
inspiring,
really
eye-opening,
it's
something
that
I
carry
with
me
and
I.
Do
my
humbled
best
to
learn
from
and
emulate,
because
I
think
I
think
that
kind
of
thinking
is
really.
A
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
if
you're
lucky
to
know
you
lucky
to
have
had
a
chance
to
learn
from
you
and
I
know
I'm
going
to
continue
learning
from
you
if
you'll
be
generous
enough
to
continue
allowing
me
to
thank
you
very
much.
A
A
C
Quickly
say
that
that's
a
more
eloquent
way
of
saying:
let's
try
to
get
to
yes,
so
let's
try
to
get
to
yes
on
most
things.
Thank
you.
I.
T
A
Z
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
was
happy
to
co-sponsor
this.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
that
honor
yeah
I
wish
there
was
more.
We
could
do.
We
are
nine
people
in
Evanston
Illinois
doing
what
we
can.
The
issue
we're
talking
about
here
goes
far
beyond
our
municipality.
Far
beyond
our
state.
This
is
a
national
issue
and
the
nine
people
we
really
need
to
be
concerned
about
were
black
robes
in
sit
in
Washington
DC.
They
can
do
a
lot
more
than
we
can
DC
versus
Heller
is
something
that
I
would
like
to
see
overturned.
Z
A
Thank
you
before
we
go
on
to
the
next
speaker.
I
just
want
to
make
one
announcement.
There's
an
I
apologize
for
this
there's
an
error
in
the
agenda.
This
is
written
for
Action.
This
is
an
ordinance,
so
it
requires
two
votes.
This
is
the
first
so
Odyssey
for
introduction,
and
should
this
pass
it'll
be
on
the
agenda
for
Action
in
two
weeks,
councilmember
Reed.
Thank.
C
You
I
I'm
also
happy
to
have
co-sponsored
this
as
well.
I
Echo
the
sentiment
that
councilmember
nusma
shared
I
wish
there
was
more
or
not
that
I
wish
there
was
more
I
I
do
think
that
there
is
more
that
we
can
do
and.
C
Taking
a
play
from
the
Republican
Playbook
and
the
way
that
they
have
been
aggressive
on
trying
to
find
strange
legal
loopholes
to
uphold
abortion
bans
I
think
we
should
take
some
risk
and
you
know
try
to
work
with
our
our
legal
counsel
to
explore
where
there
are
gray
areas
in
in
our
gun
laws
and
take
a
risk,
and
if
it
means
that
someone
sues
us
which
I
think
is
a
fairly
low
likelihood
in
our
particular
Community.
C
But
if
someone
does
I
think
this
is
a
worthy
enough
issue
that
it's
worth
joining
with
communities
across
our
country
to
try
something
new,
take
it
to
court
and
see
if
the
great
minds
of
Evanston
can
do
something
that
other
communities
couldn't
do,
which
is
or
haven't
successfully
been
able
to
do
thus
far,
which
is
get
really
creative
with
gun
control
measures
that
will
pass
Supreme
Court
muster,
particularly
with
the
Supreme
Court
and
so
I
think,
there's
more
that
we
can
do
I!
Think
we,
and
but
this
is
a
really
great
strip
step.
C
I,
don't
want
to
diminish
what
we're
doing
here.
This
is
a
really
great
step,
but
I
do
think
we
can
continue
to
push
the
boundaries
appropriately
of
you
know,
laws
that
we
can
create
to
create
safer
communities.
So
thank
you.
A
We
now
go
back
to
our
regularly
scheduled
agenda,
beginning
with
item
A2
council
member
Reed.
Would
you
care
to
make
a
motion
here.
A
Second,
councilmember
read
news
passage
of
moves:
approval
of
Harris,
Amazon
credit
card
activity,
council
member
new
Smith
seconds.
Is
there
any
discussion
seeing
none
of
the
clerk?
Please
take
the
role.
D
C
So
I
move
items,
A5
approval
of
contract
with
Christopher
B
Burke
Engineering
LTD,
to
provide
Engineering
Services
for
the
Central
Street
Slash
Central
Park
Avenue
traffic
signal
moderate
modernization
project,
then
I
also
move
A7,
which
is
approval
of
a
contract
with
Christopher
B
Burke
Engineering
LTD
to
provide
Engineering
Services
for
Leon
Place
reconstruction
for
the
Leon

project
located
at
Simpson

I,
don't
know.
Second,.
A
Council
member
Reed
moves
approval
of
two
contracts
with
Christopher
Burke
Engineering
LTD,
one
for
Engineering
Services
for
Central
Street
and
Central
Park
traffic
circle,
modernization
and
one
for
Engineering
Services
for
Leon
Place
reconstruction,
councilmember
Wynn
seconds.
Is
there
any
discussion,
councilmember
Kelly?
Thank.
AA
We
did
vote
to
direct
staff
to
request
that
that
Burke
Engineering
that
was
hired
for
the
Fountain
Square
to
oversee
the
Fountain
Square
project
debacle
that
we
get
directly
from
the
this
firm
that
we
paid
about
a
million
dollars
to
oversee
that
that
we
get
an
explanation
as
to
you
know
what
was
missed,
why
it
was
missed
how
we
you
know
that
ended
up
happening,
that
we
hired
a
firm
to
oversee
it,
so
that
we
get
it
straight
from
the
firm.
AA
A
With
eight
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against,
the
motion
carries
and
the
two
projects
are
approved.
This
brings
us
now
to
item
P1.
Would
someone
care
to
make
a
motion
relative
to
item
P1.
Z
A
Council
member
nusma
moves
approval
of
ordinance
51-0-23
for
introduction
council
member
burn
seconds.
Is
there
in
discussion.
AA
So
I
have
some
concerns
about
this.
I
mentioned
this
at
p
d
regarding
just
like
Luc
did
regarding
the
feasibility
of
the
Mount
Pisgah
to
build
on
that
parking
space.
I
am
concerned
that
city
is
going
to
end
up
giving
away
a
lot
and
end
up
with
a
empty
parking
lot
that
we
no
longer
own
I
have
concerns
about
the
iepa
report
on
the
environmental
issues
there.
They
stated
that
it
was
okay
for
industrial
use
there
only
not
for
residential
or
others,
so
I'm
concerned
about
that.
AA
So
but
I'm
mostly
concerned
about
the
current
state
of
affairs
at
the
319
hodc
building
and
I
am
pleased
that
we
will
be
meeting
tomorrow
evening
with
the
chair
of
the
hodc
board,
as
well
as
the
executive
director
Richard
Koenig,
in
hopes
of
getting
a
formal
agreement
to
to
improve
the
the
situation
in
a
lasting
and
permanent
way
at
the
Claridge
bill.
So
I
hope
that
we're
able
to
secure
that
prior
to
our
next
meeting.
So
thank
you.
That's
all.
E
Just
want
to
say
I
I,
don't
ever
remember
to
say
anything
that
said
that
he
went
suggesting
that
the
EPA
is
saying
that
res.
They
would
not
recommend
residential
for
this
site,
especially
the
site
where
the
residential
is
going
to
be
because
the
residential
is
not
going
to
be
on
the
corner.
It's
going
to.
E
The
residential
won't
be
for
the
on
the
corner
where
there
was
where
there
used
to
be
a
gas
station
I
believe
it's
going
to
be
where
the
church
is
currently
and
I.
Don't
think
that
site
is
the
site
where
the
underground
you
know,
storage
tanks
were
so
I
just
if
we
can
get
some
clarification
around
that
and
I
don't
even
know
if
that's
relevant
to
what.
Maybe
it
is,
but
I'm
happy
to
discuss
it
now
or
or
off
offline,
but
I.
Just
if
we're
going
to
discuss
it.
A
No
one
is
requesting
to
speak
for
a
first
time.
Oh
sorry,
Miss
flax.
R
Mendoza
I
can
comment
on
the
NFR.
If
that
would
be
of
help.
The
there
are
areas
that
are
capped
and
need
to
be
remain.
Camped
capped
for
the
contamination
that
hasn't
been
removed
or,
if
they're
digging
down
below
anyone's
digging
down
below
that
the
contaminated
soil
has
to
be
removed
and
disposed
of
off-site
appropriately
and
any
then
they
have
to
recap
now.
R
In
essence,
if
you
build
a
foundation
on
the
land
that
in
essence,
caps
it
and
the
to
put
the
the
way
the
church
has
constructed,
they
would
have
to
have
some
kind
of
they
aren't
doing
a
basement,
so
they
would
have
some
kind
of
pillars
or
something
to
hold
up
the
structure.
The
soil
for
that
would
be
taken
out
and
disposed
of
appropriately
and
I
do
not
believe
there
would
be
any
more
remediation
needed
for
that
use.
E
AA
R
A
Okay,
a
council
member
burns
with
four
minutes
left.
E
And
I
just
wanted
to
say
generally-
and
this
is
to
anyone
that
is
concerned
about
this
particular
project.
Please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
myself
or
city
staff
if
you
have
any
questions
about
it
just
from
tonight
alone.
Every
time
this
comes
up,
I
I,
hear
at
least
90
of
what
it
said
is
just
not
accurate
and
I'm,
not
criticizing
the
individuals
or
or
challenging
their
intelligence
I'm.
E
Just
simply
stating
a
fact
that
ninety
percent
of
what
you
hear
at
public
comment
is
not
true
and
and
I'm
willing
to
debate
this
publicly
I'm
willing
to
do
it
with
a
private
Arbiter,
and
you
show
your
facts
this
whatever
it
is.
E
But
I
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
if
you
have
questions
genuine
questions
about
this
project,
either
related
to
the
church
or
related
to
hodc,
please
do
not
hesitate
to
reach
out
to
staff
or
to
myself,
and
we
will
provide
a
response
in
writing
and
and
after
all,
this
is
done
because
I'm
every
time
when
you
see
me
when
I
during
public
comment,
I'm
taking
notes,
because
I'm
literally
taking
notes
of
everything
that
they
said
during
public
comment.
E
A
AA
Thank
you
so
I
did
bring
this
up.
This
is
the
third
time
and
I'm.
Sorry
I,
don't
have
the
document
in
front
of
me,
but
I
did
refer.
I
had
the
the
iepa
document
that
cited
industrial
use,
so
I
don't
have
it,
but
I
have
brought
it
before
and
it
wasn't
challenged
in
the
past
so
and
I've
also
brought
up
the
feasibility
as
the
Luc
has.
So
these
are
not
this
isn't
new
I
just
want
to
say
the
you
know.
AA
D
D
A
With
seven
voting
in
favor
and
one
voting
against
the
motion
carries
and
ordinance
51-0-23
is
introduced
and
will
be
on
the
agenda
for
Action
in
two
weeks.
This
now
brings
this
now
brings
us
to
item
R1.
C
I
move
item
R1
resolution,
40R
23,
adoption
of
the
civility
pledge
by
the
mayor
and
the
city
council.
A
C
I
want
to
address
this
I
I'm
fully
in
support
of
this
ability,
pledge
and
I
appreciate
the
the
Illinois
Municipal
league
for
working
on
this
I
appreciate
manager
Stowe
for
bringing
this
forward
here
but
I.
C
One,
it
was
framed
as
if
it
was
about
one
council,
member
and
one
incident
where
I
wouldn't
classify
it
as
a
tantrum,
where
I
shared
my
genuine
disappointment
about
a
vote
on
a
particular
issue.
That
I
think
has
a
lot
of
data
and
science
behind
it
and
I
stand
by
that
disappointment.
It's
because
I
really
believe
in
my
colleagues
and
I
believe
in
you
all
in
the
Progressive
nature
and
our
willingness
to
try
new
things,
and
so
it's
disappointing
that
it's
not
untypical.
C
That
Evanston
now
would
cover
an
item
in
the
way
that
they
did.
It
was
shocking
to
see
the
Tribune
and
other
Publications
run
with
that
same
story.
Although
this
isn't
the
first
time
that's
happened,
it
happened
with
the
quote-unquote
Reed's
topless
beach
plan,
which
was
not
a
thing,
and
so
this
has
been
a
unfortunate
pattern
that
Evanston
now
has
engaged
in
with
with
a
number
of
us,
particularly
me,
and
it's
disappointing
that
so
many
members
of
our
community
are
not
using
their
discernment.
C
There
there
are
a
lot
of
really
uncivil
things
that
folks
that
all
of
us
have
to
experience
being
in
this
job.
It's
a
part
of
Public
Service
I
mean
folks
suggested
that,
instead
of
a
civility
pledge
that
we
need
to
take
an
IQ
test
because
of
specifically
because
of
Devon
reads,
you
know
essentially
idiotic
ideas
that
he
puts
forward
I'm
fine,
taking
an
IQ
test
I've,
you
know
I'm
sure
we've
all
had
it.
C
I
may
be
a
but
I'm,
not
a
virtue,
signaling
I,
and
then
you
know
folks
have
said
you
know,
for
the
council
to
recognize
that
read
is
a
threat
to
civility,
but
not
underlying
Society.
You
know
these
are
very
outrageous
and
uncivil
comments
and
I
think
we
as
a
community
need
to
to
do
better.
I
appreciate
working
here
with
all
everyone
in
this
room.
C
I
appreciate
working
with,
and
we
have
differences
of
opinion,
but
I've
never
felt
that
anyone
in
this
room
right
now
has
been
uncivil
to
myself
or
really
anyone
else
up
here.
We've
had
disagreements.
We
see,
we
don't
see
eye
to
eye
all
the
time,
but
that's
democracy,
that
is
democracy
and
so
I'm,
really
looking
forward
to
supporting
this
I.
C
I
think
we
need
to
do
more
to
engage
with
our
community
to
make
sure
that
this
civility
pledge
is
being
followed
both
ways
and
that
we're
giving
both
this
Council
and
the
public
and
between
each
other
and
our
staff,
that
we
are
understanding
that
we
we
all
want
to
make
our
community
better.
We
approach
it
in
different
ways.
C
We
have
different
styles
of
of
doing
that.
You
know,
and
so
looking
forward
to
adopting
this
and
looking
forward
to
this
becoming
more
of
a
practice,
even
more
so
than
it
already
is
between
our
each
other
between
ourselves
and
the
public,
and
vice
versa
between
the
public
and
the
folks
who
stood
on
this
diocese.
So
thank
you.
A
I
just
want
to
quickly
react
to
some
of
that.
You
know
I.
A
I
have
often
viewed
a
Tribune
editorial
attacking
me
as
a
sign
I'm
on
heading
in
the
right
direction
and
I.
Don't
know
that
I
don't
know
that
I'm
ever
going
to
change
my
view
of
that.
So
you
know
that
was
you
know.
I
appreciated
that
that
indication
that
we
were,
we
were
doing
the
right
thing
here,
but
I
do
think
it's
important
to
say.
As
someone
who
is
one
of
the
co-refers
of
this,
this
was
not
directed
at
a
particular
person.
A
It
was
not.
It
was
not
a
reaction
to
a
particular
incident.
It's
in
fact
a
boilerplate
document
produced
by
the
Illinois
Municipal
league
and
adopted
verbatim
by
a
number
of
other
communities
in
an
effort
across
the
state
to
have
government
bodies
have
more
civil
and
productive,
respectful
discussions
and
I
just
want
to
you
know:
Echo
councilmember,
reads
comments.
I,
think
any
effort
to
construe
this
as
somebody
taking
a
shot
at
somebody
else,
is
a
step
away
from
disability,
not
a
step
toward
it.
A
A
Think
in
that
that's
the
spirit
in
which
this
was
introduced
by
the
city
manager
and
that's
the
spirit
that
will
enable
us
to
use
this
kind
of
attitude
to
be
better
at
our
jobs
and
better
at
serving
the
community.
Will
the
clerk
please
take
the
role.
D
A
Were
they
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against?
The
motion
carries
in
resolution.
40-R-23
is
passed.
This
brings
us
now
to
call
of
the
awards.
Council,
member
Reed.
C
Thank
you,
eighth
Ward
award
meeting
on
the
last
Thursday
of
the
month.
We
do
not
have
guests
lined
up
yet,
but
it
will
be
announced
in
our
newsletter,
which
I
aim
to
have
out
about
a
week
before
the
meeting
which
will
be
June
29th.
We
plan
to
have
this
meeting
in
person
at
the
levy
Senior
Center,
so
you
can
look
forward
to
that
at
6
PM
very
quickly.
C
If
folks
want
an
example
of
an
uncivil
Council,
you
can
Google
Flint
Michigan
and
you
can.
AC
C
Mays
and
you
can
have
a
spend
a
15
minutes
watching
getting
a
good
laugh
off,
hopefully
and
watching
their
counseling.
That
is
an
example
of
what
a
non-civil
potentially
Council
looks
like
outside
of
that.
Thank
you
looking
forward
to
Executive
session.
Thank.

Tomorrow,

the

and

E
Obviously,
a
little
bit
of
a
scheduling
conflict
did
not
realize
that
the
second
war
meeting
was
that
day,
so
we'll
we'll
make
sure
to
turn
away
any
second
war
residence
and
tell
them
they
need
to
go
to
their
their
War
meeting.
No.
J
E
We're
happy
to
host
this
event

looking
forward
to
good
attendance
so
far,
I
think
we
have
84
businesses
who
filled
out
the
pre-registration
for
form,
so
we're
excited
about
tomorrow
and
if
you
have
some
time
feel
free
to
stop
on
by
all
right.
Take
care.
AB
V
I'd
just
like
to
mention
that
I'm
going
to
be
having
award
meeting
Tuesday
June
27th
at
7
pm
upstairs
in
the
parasol
room
with
overflow
rooms
on
the
second
floor,
there'll
be
a
zoom
link
for
people
who
want
to
listen
from
home
and
we'll
have
a
recording
of
the
meeting
on
the
city's
website
for
the
for
the
Ryan
rebuild
project,
and
it's
going
to
feature
three
different
presentations.
One
about
the
sound
study
for
the
Stadium
project.
V
One
that's
going
to
talk
about
parking
management
for
this,
for
the
is
particularly
oriented
for
the
concerts
and
the
third
one,
basically
concert
operations,
what
it
takes
to
get
all
set
up
and
how
a
concert
is
going
to
work
and
then
there's
also
going
to
be
a
presentation
from
Matt
Rogers
who's.
The
chair
of
the
land
use
commission.
V
Talking
about
you
know
what
are
the
standards
that
the
land
use
commission
is
going
to
be
looking
at
when
they
consider
the
Ryan
rebuild
project
and
then
what
will
be
the
process
for
the
meeting
in
terms
of
opportunities
for
public
comments?
So
it
promises
to
be
a
very
interesting
evening.
I
encourage
everybody
to
tune
in.
Z

five
Illinois
compiled
