D
E
A
Have
a
quorum
terrific,
thank
you
and
welcome.
Welcome
everybody
to
the
Monday
April
22nd
2019,
Evanston,
City
Council
meeting
and
today
is
not
only
the
City
Council
meeting,
today's
Earth
Day
and
so
yay
quick
reminder
for
everybody.
Earth
Day
started
on
April
2
1
April
22nd,
which
is
today
in
1970.
A
Millions
of
people
took
to
the
streets
calling
on
leaders
around
the
world
to
take
bold
action
to
reduce
the
negative
impacts
of
150
years
of
industrial
development.
In
Evanston
we
celebrate
Earth
Day
with
events
throughout
the
month,
including
cleanup
Evanston,
which
will
take
place
this
Saturday
April
27th.
If
you're
interested
in
helping
clean
up
our
city,
please
visit,
volunteer
Evanston
org,
as
climate
change
accelerates,
it's
even
more
important
for
all
of
us
to
actively
work
to
do
things
that
help
the
environment
and
reduce
our
impact.
A
Thank
you
for
everyone
for
doing
your
part,
a
good
segue
from
that
right
into
next
month,
I'm
going
to
issue
a
proclamation
I'm
not
going
to
read
it
tonight,
but
for
Arbor,
Day
and
Arbor.
Day
is
about
really
the
importance
of
trees
in
our
country
and
the
benefit
that
we
get
from
them
on
tonight's
agenda,
there's
actually
an
item
for
approving
and
planting
trees.
A
Other
other
announcements
I
want
to
offer
our
best
wishes
to
David
Jones,
who
has
David
Jones
as
the
chaplain
one
of
our
chaplains
to
the
fire
department
and
the
police
department
and
David
has
been
fighting
cancer
and
was
in
the
hospital
just
recently.
For
some
surgery,
but
if
you
know
David
Jones
remains
as
positive
and
optimistic
as
ever
so
he's
a
real
blessing
to
Evanson
and
we
wish
him
all
of
our
blessings.
A
Lastly,
you
know
one
of
the
one
of
the
great
things
about
being
mayor's.
You
get
to
talk
to
lots
of
young
people
in
the
community
and
we
have
lots
of
young
people
that
come
into
the
Evanston
chamber
councils
and
I
speak
to
them.
Clerk
reads
sometimes
speaks
to
them.
Some
of
the
aldermen
speak
to
them
and
I
always
encourage
them.
I
say
well,
you
know
to
really
get
a
sense
of
what
government
is
like
in
local
government.
You
need
to
come
to
a
city
council
meeting,
so
I
was
so
excited
today
when
I
saw
Lucas.
A
Who
was
here
just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago-
and
he
said
you
know-
I
really
want
to
go
to
a
city
council
meeting
and
like
maybe
someday
I
want
to
be
an
alderman
or
a
mayor
or
congressman
or
who
knows
what
president
the
United
States
yeah
I
think
you're
already
qualified
there.
So
I
shouldn't
get
so
political,
but
anyway
I'm
excited
that
you're
excited.
Then
we're
all
excited
that
you're
here,
Lucas
and
I
hope
we
will
all
demonstrate
what
good
government
and
good
public
participation
looks
like
tonight.
C
Mr.
mayor
and
members
of
the
council,
I
have
three
announcements.
The
first
is
from
Jen
Brennan,
who
was
unable
to
attend
tonight's
City
Council
meeting,
but
Jen
would
like
to
express
our
her
sincere
support
for
the
early
childhood
programming
at
the
Robert
Crumb
Center
she's,
a
parent
and
community
member
of
two
children
who
attend
camps
and
classes
and
preschool
programming
at
Robert
crown,
and
she
cannot
say
enough
wonderful
things
about
the
preschool
programming,
including
the
directors,
teachers
and
teacher's
assistants
and
the
curriculum,
so
that
person
is
in
support
of
Robert
crown.
C
I
have
another
announcement
from
Ally
Harned
who
wants
to
let
folks
know
about
the
land,
the
local
area
network
meeting
that
is
April
23rd
from
9:30
a.m.
to
11
a.m.
here
at
the
Civic
Center
in
the
20
and
in
the
parasol
room
you
can
reserve
a
spot
for
that
meeting
by
emailing
Harned
a
at
district
65
dotnet.
C
Also
I
received
a
memorandum
from
members
of
the
community
misty
Wittenberg
Mike
Visoko
Mary
Osinski
Clare
Kelly,
who
were
all
who
identified
themselves
as
city
of
Evanston
taxpayers,
and
this
is
regarding
the
a
and
B
general
obligation
bonds.
It
is
a
lengthy
memorandum
and
it
will
be
included
in
the
minutes
for,
and
it
is
also
on
the
counter
on
the
the
table
out
there
for
folks
to
read
through
those
are
my
announcements
for
Jeff.
A
Terrific
thank
you.
Clerk
read
we're
now
going
to
move
on
to
public
comment
just
because
we
haven't
some
new
people
here.
I
want
to
make
sure
everybody's
clear
on
on
public
comment.
The
purpose
of
public
comment
is
for
the
public
to
share
their
perspective
and
concerns
with
the
City
Council.
It
is
an
opportunity
for
the
folks
up
here.
Your
elected
officials
to
listen
is
not
an
opportunity
to
engage
or
to
debate
and
to
ask
questions
and
have
a
back
and
forth
with
the
answers.
A
That's
that's
not
the
intent
of
public
comment,
but
it's
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
share
your
perspectives.
City
Council
rules.
We
set
aside
45
minutes
for
public
comment.
The
way
it
goes
is
after
45
minutes.
Our
rules
say
that
we
are
to
go
ahead
and
then
start
the
meeting
and
get
into
our
other
items
on
our
agenda.
A
I
do
ask
that
everybody.
You
know.
As
always,
try
to
you
know
be
civil.
It
doesn't
mean
that
you're
not
passionate.
We
we
have
lots
of
passion
here
in
Evanston,
but
please
refrain
from
using
any
threatening
personal,
abusive
language
or
anything
along
those
lines.
With
that
we're
going
to
go
ahead
today
with
our
comment,
we've
got
21
people
that
have
signed
up
so
I'm
gonna
give
everybody
two
minutes.
A
I'm
gonna
ask
clerk
read
if
he
will
keep
track
of
the
time
and
city
manager
Bob
coats
if
he'll
just
keep
track
of
the
overall
45
minutes,
and
you
know
if
you
hear
the
the
the
buzzer
go
off
on
clerk
reads
phone:
if
you
can
just
wrap
it
up
at
ten
seconds
later,
we
would
appreciate
it
and
just
be
respectful
for
everybody
that
wants
to
talk.
So
with
that.
Welcome
everybody
and
we'll
start
off.
We
got
Mike,
show
sylco,
then
Harris
Miller
then
delay
on
Morris
I
apologize
if
I'm
mispronouncing
anyone's
name
welcome.
F
Good
evening
Mike
the
sole
code,
27:28
Reece,
Avenue
Evanston,
two
messages
in
case
I
get
cut
off.
The
council
does
not
have
all
the
information
you've
needed
to
make
an
informed
decision
on
the
bond
sale.
So
we're
asking
that
the
council
delayed
the
bond
vote
and
meet
with
the
community
and
hear
what
we
have
to
offer
in
the
way
of
suggestions.
We've
asked
us
before
we're
asking
it
tonight.
F
All
we
want
to
do
is
be
is
to
be
able
to
afford
to
live
peacefully
in
Evanston.
More
and
more
debt
is
not
the
way
forward.
The
debt
we
have
so
far
is
going
to
drain
valuable
resources
from
our
moral
budget
from
social
programs
and
the
like,
Robert
Ron's
debt
goes
on
until
2040,
for
this
is
a
moment
to
say,
stop,
let's
think
a
little
bit
longer
before
we
take
an
irreversible,
dangerous
step
forward
into
deeper
debt.
F
Please
delay
the
vote
until
later
time
schedule.
A
meeting
to
meet
with
us
I
have
to
correct
the
record
from
last
week's
meeting
when
the
city
attorney
made
a
statement.
I
think
that
was
fear-mongering,
suggesting
that
if
the
council
voted
to
postpone
the
book
the
bond
or
to
make
changes
to
the
scope
of
the
contract
with
the
general
contractor
that
the
contractor
would
sue
us,
that's
just
not
true
I've
spoken
to
people
at
high
levels
of
lien
Andrews.
They
would
never
see
the
city
of
Evanston
and
they'd
be
happy
to
do
value
engineering
with
us.
F
The
council
should
be
given
factual,
truthful
information
in
order
to
make
informed
decisions.
The
council
does
not
have
access
and
the
public
does
not
have
access
to
the
remaining
letters
of
intent.
We
don't
know
what
those
letters
include,
how
much
money
is
being
donated
and
whether
or
not
you
even
need
to
have
the
bond
sale.
We
should
wait
for
the
letters
of
intent.
Council
needs
to
begin
factual
and
truthful
information
in
order
to
make
informed
decisions.
We
have
a
for.
You
inform
a
for
a
request
for
MWBE
and
local
hiring
participation
that
was
denied.
F
F
Somebody
was
going
to
show
up
behind
me.
This
is
what
the
response
was.
I
was
a
fully
redacted.
No
one
can
tell
what
was
received,
what
the
rules
were
and
how
we
did
or
didn't
meet
those
requirements.
The
council
doesn't
have
this
memorandum.
Only
the
mayor
and
alt
and
alderman
Wilson
received
copies
of
this
memorandum.
You
should
see
it
in
order
to
make
an
informed
decision
about,
but
next
I
think
I
get.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Mike
all.
G
You
good
evening,
two
weeks
ago,
city
clerk
Devin
Reed
brought
the
idea
to
allow
the
public
to
speak
through
alternative
means.
Upon
request.
I
said
on
several
boards
and
committees,
where
it's
welcomed
in
the
community.
The
council
made
excuses
to
avoid
his
idea
and
it
was
shot
down.
I
find
this
unacceptable.
G
This
causes
our
public
meetings
to
be
more
exclusive
rather
than
inclusive.
Remember
not.
Everyone
can
come
to
City
Hall
due
to
disabilities,
lack
of
transportation,
young
peon
or
travel.
Therefore,
city
clerk's
clerk
reads:
public
common
idea,
via
alternative
mediums,
should
be
recommended
to
the
Rules
Committee
for
discussion.
G
G
A
Thank
you
thank
you,
Harris
de
Leon,
Morris,
misty,
Wittenberg
and
then
trisha
connelly,
and
when
you
come
up
to
the
podium
I
had
somebody
email
me
recently
and
just
asked.
If
I
could
remind
folks,
if
you
could
just
give
your
name
when
you
come
up
to
the
podium
and
would
be
helpful,
Oh
de
Leon
had
to
leave
okay,
misty
Wittenberg.
Then
we're
going
to
take
you
then
Tricia
Connolly,
then
Doreen
price
and.
H
H
So
mr.
Wittenberg
so
just
wanted
to
remind
council
that
last
year
we
were
considering
cuts
to
social
services,
Community
Health
and
other
programs
to
children,
seniors
and
other
vulnerable
populations.
That
was
to
balance
our
deficit
is
not
resolved
its
increasing.
So
how
could
the
city
even
put
this
list
of
cuts
forward
with
any
good
conscious,
knowing
that
we
had
just
added
millions
upon
millions
of
dollars
to
this
projects,
capital
cost
and
scope
based
on
requests
by
donors?
H
One
donor-
this
is
a
single
donor,
requested
a
weight
room,
training
station
offices
for
donors
staff
I've
gone
into
this
particular
donor
comes
with
a
whole
lot
of
perks
for
five
annual
installments
of
$100,000
that
can
be
cancelled
anytime,
with
six
months
notice
in
an
agreement
that
provides
that
donor
exclusive
first
rights
to
extend
maximum
fists
fixed
rates,
substantial
other
benefits,
I've
talked
about.
Who
did
the
cost
analysis
that
say
that
that
was
better
for
us.
H
If
that
provided
us
any
sort
of
fiscal
advantage
on
that
project,
because
it
was
worked
into
the
product
project,
that's
advancing
now
that
you
don't
even
get
to
vet
or
say
no
to
or
face
serious
ramifications.
Like
the
fact
that
we
pre-ordered
a
Zamboni,
so
unless
that
Zamboni
is
providing
social
services,
I
think
we
can
go
ahead
and
cut
out
that
argument.
H
This
is
the
same
thing
that
happened
with
the
third
turf
field
or
having
turf
fields
at
all.
The
costs
escalated
substantially,
particularly
with
the
storm
water
detention
issues.
All
of
these,
the
projects
aggressive
timeline,
have
been
driven
exclusively
by
donor
and
corporate
interests
and
those
of
a
handful
of
project
proponents.
None
of
these
have
been
by
general
public
interests.
H
We've
showed
a
lot
of
concerns
about
the
turf
fields,
environmental,
health,
safety,
the
fact
that
every
8
to
10
years
we
have
to
pay
to
replace
it,
dispose
of
it,
throwing
twenty-two
hundred
thousand
square
feet
of
turf
and
landfill
or
an
infill
into
landfills,
so
just
to
wrap
up
quickly,
the
advisement
that
was
provided.
You
did
not
encompass
the
breadth
of
contraption
contractual
options
we
have
available
to
us.
H
It
did
not
represent
public
interests,
and
so
I
would
like
to
know
here
who
here
tonight
is
going
to
be
advising
you
on
these
public
interests
and
if
that
answers
no
one,
then
I
would
respectfully
request
that
we
be
allowed
to
engage
and
represent
interests.
Not
me
specifically,
not
friends.
Anyone
who
wants
to
participate,
especially
when
things
are
being
presented
as
factual,
that
are
absolutely
demonstrably
incorrect
Thank.
I
I
What
kind
of
agreements
are
there
on
this?
We
don't
know
do
any
of
you
know
we
haven't
seen
anything
and
if
it's
on
us
to
pay
for
it,
we
should
know
and
I
hope
that
all
of
you
get
really
well
informed
before
you
decide
to
vote
YES
on
another
18
million
dollar
bond
tonight,
there's
great
things
about
robert
crown.
Yes,
they
have
a
wonderful
community
component,
I'm
a
librarian,
I
love
libraries,
that's
great!
That
is
just
a
minuscule
part
of
what's
going
on
here.
Please
step
back,
take
a
breath.
I
J
Continue
to
support
Robin
historian
price,
what
Robin
were
simmons
said
about
this
proposal
and
the
money's
not
available
or
being
less
available
to
help
social
issues,
including
people
staying
in
their
homes
and
Aging
in
Place,
which
is
a
goal
has
been
a
goal,
has
been
an
issue
since
2009
four
people
in
the
fifth
Ward
continues.
It
affects
people
like
me
and
in
2019
in
terms
of
remedies.
The
remedies
aren't
sufficient
in
his
own.
J
And
rainy
and
rainy
said
that
it
wouldn't
happen
again.
It
would
happen
again
in
my
condition
where
it's
clearly
pointed
out
that
the
area
is
saturated,
where
it
hadn't
presented
a
problem
except
for
the
remediation
efforts
that
had
to
be
made
for
some
seepage
that
I
got,
which
was
unusual
since
I
had
no
water
since
2006
with
all
the
floods.
Since
then,
the
only
incident
of
flooding
was
a
broken
pipe
and
it
was
observed
by
mark
McIntosh,
a
very
good,
employee
and
I
hope.
J
It
comes
back
to
my
house
to
see
the
damage
done
and
also
I
invite
the
chief
and
the
chief
of
police
and
the
chief
of
fire,
because
this
is
exactly
or
worse
than
what
you
see
in
a
fire
except
you
don't
see
the
outside
crumbling,
but
you
see
the
inside
crumbling
from
the
inside
out
because
of
no
remediation
soon
enough.
With
regard
to
just
a
pump,
a
pump
is
110
thousand
dollars
and
you
could
save
more
homes
in
mind
and
prevent
all
the
problems
that
I
got
afterwards.
J
It's
huge
insurance
doesn't
cover
you
fight,
fight
fight.
The
city
needs
to
cover
these
smaller
homes,
which
is
mine.
1,500
square
feet
is
smaller
than
most
people's
homes
that
I've
talked
to,
and
it's
got
a
lower
level
that
I
want
to
rent
out
I've
been
trying
to
get
this
done
for
the
past
two
years.
Money
is
not
sufficient
if
I'm
just
a
tip
of
the
iceberg,
there's
so
many
people
that
need
the
money
beyond
the
fifth
board.
I
I
can
I
just
pick.
J
Somebody
start
helping
people
now,
because
water
is
an
issue
that
can
be
remedied
cheaper.
Just
like
your
your
new
elevator,
you
found
new
is
cheaper.
Now
new
is
more
expensive
and
not
doing
upgrades
is
more
expensive
because
then
you
have
to
keep
doing
things
that
Anne
Marie
says
doesn't
happen
with
regard
to
climate
change,
so.
A
K
Hello,
my
name
is
James
England
from
the
fifth
Ward
I
cover
you
weeks
ago.
I
was
but
and
I
was
noticing
the
kids
here
and
I
was
adjusting
and
you
guys
were
trying.
They
were
trying
to
say
something
about.
Family
focus
and
I
was
thinking.
If
there's
out
the
building.
Why
can't
the
kids
you
bring
the
safety
kids
to
the
Harry
Davis?
Excuse
me:
hi
Ricard,
mansion,
trance
room.
There
is
and
remember,
I
have
minority,
remember
I
mind
it's
a
terrible
thing
to
raise.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
L
Good
evening,
I'm
jack
crane
40
year
Evanson
resident
I'm
here
to
talk
about
soccer
and
the
need
for
turf
fields
and
I'm
very
excited
about
Robert
Kron
and
what's
happening
there.
My
grandsons
Isaac
and
Lee,
who
are
Isaac
and
Lee
mirror
of
seventh
grader
freshman
at
HHS,
they've
been
practically
living
at
Robert
crown
at
a
little
tiny
corner
there,
where
there's
a
little
bit
of
soccer.
You've
got
the
little
walls
there,
it's
a
little
street
soccer
and
it
goes
to
well
into
the
night.
There's
like
one
light
bulb
there
and
summer
night.
L
You'll
see
you
know
twenty
thirty
kids
trying
to
get
into
that
little
field
to
play
some
soccer.
The
cool
thing
about
that
is:
it's
built
a
community
unto
itself
community,
the
kind
of
community
we
are
here
in
Evanston,
it's
Hispanic,
it's
black,
it's
white!
It's
where
the
kids
show
up
to
play
a
little
soccer.
One
of
the
things
I
really
like
about
this
particular
development
is
the
the
central
location
of
Robert
crown
right
now.
If
you
play
soccer-
and
you
want
to
get
together
with
your
friends,
Robert
crown
is
far
to
the
south.
L
So
your
Northside
friends,
it's
pretty
tough,
to
get
there
if
you're
going
to
do
it
at
lovelace.
You
know
the
south
Evanston
kids
pretty
tough
to
get
out
there
and
we're
not
even
talking
about
the
condition
of
the
fields
in
general,
but
I
think
this
particular
okay
can
really
build
community
and
that's
what
I
see
when
you
put
the
turf
fields
out
there.
L
The
beauty
of
soccer
is
that
all
you
need
is
a
ball
and
a
bunch
of
kids
girls
boys
to
show
up.
In
fact,
you
don't
need
a
ball
yourself.
You
just
need
one
kid
who
can
afford
a
ball
and
they
can
show
up
at
the
field
and
I
think
it
can
be
a
great
place
for
just
long-term
sense
of
community
for
our
kids
I
think
it
will
be
a
great
asset
to
Evanston.
Thank
you.
M
We're
also
here
to
thank
you
we're
here
to
thank
you
so
far
for
your
votes.
Up
to
this
point,
supporting
the
Robert
crown
the
new
Robert
crown
and
the
investment
it
will
make
in
our
community's
future
in
our
children's
future.
Has
all
the
studies
show
having
great
community
centers
where
the
youth
can
go
after
school
and
participate
in
activities,
helps
them
in
school
and
helps
them
in
life,
and
that's
what
the
new
Robert
crown
will
bring.
M
We're
also
here
to
thank
you
for
all
the
community
engagement
that
the
city
workers
have
done
in
helping
prepare
and
design
and
get
to
this
point
with
Robert
crown.
I
personally
have
attended
over
a
dozen
public
meetings.
I've
attended
stakeholder
groups,
and
this
was
starting
back
in
quarter
1
2017,
so
there's
been
lots
of
opportunity
for
the
community
to
give
their
feedback.
In
addition,
I'm
here
to
thank
you
for
your
fiscal
responsibility,
ensuring
that
this
is
a
public-private
partnership
and
that
over
25%
of
it
will
be
paid
for
from
private
funds.
That's
fantastic!
M
A
N
Think
when
you,
when
you
look
across
this
area,
you
see
from
the
south
side
way
out
west
in
Oak
Park
as
far
north
as
Waukegan
communities
that
have
thriving
outdoor
fields
that
can
be
run
more
often
or
more
of
the
year,
because
they
they
simply
have
made
a
commitment
to
putting
to
putting
turf
fields
in
their
community.
It
allows
the
kids
to
start
earlier.
It
allows
them
to
play
through
inclement
weather
and
it's
a
huge
advantage.
As
you
know,
in
Evanston.
As
far
as
public
fields,
we
have
none.
N
We
have
no
turf
fields
which
push
hits
puts
us
at
a
very
big
disadvantage.
For
example,
girls,
soccer
team,
varsity
team
starts
their
season
on
March
1st.
They
are
required
to
start
playing
soccer
on
basketball
courts
in
street
shoes
running
shoes
there's
potential
to
get
injured.
They
just
don't
have
the
facilities
to
be
using
the
these
turf
fields,
there's
not
enough
time
at
E,
ths
and
there's
a
pecking
order.
N
There,
as
you
all
know,
every
rain
day
costs
our
kids
valuable
touches
on
the
ball,
whether
that's
lacrosse,
whether
that's
soccer,
whether
that's
field
hockey,
these
kids
just
don't,
have
the
advantages
that
some
other
communities
that
have
these
turf
fields
have
further
or
the
the
biggest
advantage
to
the
to
what's
been
proposed
at
robert
crown.
Is
that
it's
lighted,
we
don't
have
lighted
fields.
My
kids
have
been
involved
in
a
yso
soccer
and
team
Evanston
11
United
Chicago
fire
juniors,
since
they
were
young
kids
and
they
simply
don't
have
the
facilities
there.
N
O
Claire
Kelly,
so
our
city
is
currently
struggling
with
a
seven
million
dollar
deficit
right
now
and
to
boot.
We've
issued
already
the
first
tranche
the
first
25
million
dollar
tranche.
We
still
do
not
have
a
plan
to
pay
for
that
over
the
next
25
years.
There's
no
plan.
That's
been
presented
to
the
public.
O
O
That
will
impact
the
amount
of
debt.
We
should
wait
until
those
allies
have
been
negotiated
so
that
we
really
know
how
much
is
coming
forward.
Maybe
we
don't
need
18
million
if
we're
really
negotiating
well
with
these
entities
and
I
just
want
to
also
just
mention
with
regards
to
the
funds,
the
private
funds
again,
I've
brought
this
to
your
attention
before
we
paid
nearly
1
million
dollars
for
a
private
foot
for
a
fund
raiser
for
the
city,
the
city
paid
a
million
dollars,
and
nobody
can
tell
us
all
they
can
say
is.
O
We
think
we
gave
it
all
to
friends
when
we
didn't
even
have
an
MoU
with
them.
So
why
would?
Why
did
this
money
that
our
CCS
fundraiser,
for
which
we
paid
almost
a
million
dollars,
not
go
into
the
city
coffer,
but
instead
we
wrote
checks
over
to
Friends
of
Robert
crown.
So
we
need
to
be
clear
and
come
clean
with
the
city
about
where
this
money
that
people
are
now
coming
forward
with
some
of
it
perhaps,
but
we
just
only
until
last
week,
we
did
not
have
any
agreement
with
them
and
all.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
P
O
Q
Good
evening
city
council,
my
name
is
matthew:
Tobin
I'm,
a
lifelong
Evanston
resident
I
have
three
children
ages,
12
through
19
and
as
a
board
member
of
Evanston
Soccer
Association
I've
been
working
with
the
Evanston
Parks
and
Rec,
and
public
works
departments
for
about
10
plus
years
and
I'm.
Here
in
support
of
the
Robert
crown
community
center
and
specifically
the
turf
soccer
fields,
lacrosse
fields,
field
hockey,
fields,
football
fields
that
are
gonna
be
doing
it
built
their
turf
fields,
are
a
huge
asset
for
this
community
will
be
a
huge
asset
for
this
community
grass
fields.
Q
Aren't
free
I
know
that
it
seems
like
the
maintenance
for
turf
is
going
to
be
excessive.
It
will
not.
The
grass
fields
require
consistent
ongoing.
You,
maintenance
by
the
city's,
wonderful
Parks
and
Recreation
team.
Their
field
maintenance
crews
are
out
there
winter
all
spring,
all
fall
working
on
the
fields,
making
them
ready
for
the
community,
kids,
adults
alike,
being
out
there
playing
all
the
sports
and
activities
they
love.
The
cost
of
the
maintenance
is
extensive,
is
extensive
year
after
year.
Yes,
turf
requires
some
updating,
but
the
ongoing
maintenance
of
the
grass
fields
is
excessive.
Q
It
requires
fields
to
be
rested
for
a
season
after
season
and
often
requiring
all
the
local
sports
organizations
to
rest
those
fields
and
have
to
modify
their
schedules
so
to
have
a
turf
fields
in
our
community,
for
all
the
players
to
be
able
to
use
not
only
in
inclement
weather,
but
without
having
games
or
practices
cancelled
because
of
inclement
weather
or
fields
that
are
unplayable
in
terrible
conditions
will
be
a
huge
asset
for
our
community
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your
support
thus
far
and
for
continued.
Your
support
and
I
appreciate
your
your
time
tonight.
Q
R
Good
evening
ben
shapiro,
current
president
of
the
Evanston
public
library
board
of
trustees,
I'm
here
tonight,
to
thank
you
for
including
the
library
in
the
Robert
Crowne
community
project.
This
will
give
us
the
library
an
opportunity
to
reach
and
have
in
place
physically
on
the
ground
to
reach
a
part
of
the
community
that
we
have
been
absent
from
for
many
many
years.
It
also
puts
the
library
facility
directly
on
the
Flyway
between
South
Evanston
and
the
high
school,
if
what's
this
close
to
daus
school,
to
shoot
to
Washington,
etc.
R
R
We've
also
budgeted
for
increased
staffing
to
be
able
to
handle
this
and
we're
examining
our
hours
at
this
time,
but
I've
want
to
in
Fatt
eclis
assure
you
that
we
see
this
as
a
great
opportunity,
not
just
for
the
library
but
the
community
as
a
whole.
For
us
to
do
things
for
everyone
who
lives
in
Evanston
or
visits,
and
to
tribute
is
one
alderman
mentioned
to
me,
the
Wellness
of
this
city.
We
have
found
over
time
that
we
have
expanded
our
services
into
the
social
area.
R
We
have
social
worker
on
staff,
now
full
time
we
will
be
having
sessions
there
so
that
we
can
reach
out
to
people
who
need
services
that
are
not
traditional
to
libraries,
but
that
we
have
found
and
proven
to
be
very,
very
important
for
this
community.
So
again,
we
are
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
city
and
helping
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
community.
R
S
Good
evening,
ray
Freedman
second
Ward,
as
I,
have
been
coming
to
your
meetings
for
over
two
years
now,
I've
I
see
a
push
for
city
council
to
change
public
comment
to
shorten
public
comments
and
address
civility
people
all
have
their
own
way
of
delivering
a
message
and
shouldn't
we
be
focusing
on
the
message
rather
than
the
delivery.
Instead
of
spending
hours
and
hours
discussing
decorum.
S
Maybe
we
can
instead
address
questions
and
issues
that
arise
from
public
comment.
Yes,
I
have
seen
frustration
grow
as
issues
are
not
addressed.
What
is
the
purpose
and
intent
of
City
Council
meetings
or
the
purpose
and
intent
of
a
tougher
hearing
or
priority
based
budget
or
an
appeal
process
for
16
units
at
pitner
and
dumpster?
What
was
the
measure
of
success
or
failure
of
these
processes?
Please
take
a
look
at
these
and
explain
to
residents
how
these
processes
work
or
didn't
work.
S
I
wanted
to
address
SP
3
last
week,
saying
that
I
have
been
to
three
separate
goals:
meetings
for
twenty
19-20,
and
you
have
chosen
six
six
categories
to
examine
the
number
one
goal
chosen
by
seven
out
of
nine
Erman
is
to
stabilize
long
term
city
finances
I've,
not
heard
any
discussion
yet
on
how
you
plan
to
achieve
that
goal,
where
all
of
your
goals
are
important
and
creating
a
data
report
to
measure
performance
of
these
goals
is
a
great
idea.
I
cannot
understand
why
your
number
one
goal
has
not
been
addressed.
S
Yet
when
were
you
planning
on
this
discussion,
please
do
not
approve
any
further
bonds.
Until
we
have
had
this
discussion,
as
the
saying
goes,
when
we
fail
to
plan,
we
plan
to
fail,
as
we've
heard
for
several
years
now
towards
the
end
of
the
year,
we
have
a
budget
crisis.
Please
don't
allow
this
to
happen
again.
Please
don't
add
to
the
anxiety
and
frustration
we
are
already
feeling.
Thank
you.
Thank.
T
Yes,
and
one
month
later,
you
gave
a
very
passionate
and
powerful
speech
at
the
State
Capitol
building
in
Illinois
Springfield,
on
behalf
of
the
Poor
People's
Campaign,
demanding
equity
for
racial
minorities
and
the
underprivileged
hearing.
Your
speech
last
year
was
a
strong
factor
that
decided
me
to
become
part
of
the
Poor
People's
Campaign
to
work
for
social
and
economic
justice
here
in
Evanston,
I
felt
supported
by
your
spirit
with
which
the
spirit
with
which
you
spoke
these
words,
which
is
why
I
am
here
today
to
follow
through.
T
P
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
all
the
wonderful
things
that
are
planned
for
Robert
Crown
Center
and
acknowledge
that
they're
going
to
be
great
services
there
based
on
this
plan
and
the
library
is
wonderful.
However,
there
we
really
think
that
it
could
be
possibly
done
for
less
than
54
million
we'd
like
an
opportunity
to
show
you
plans
in
other
cities.
You
will
be
very
startled,
I
think
to
see
how
what
a
nice
Center
you
could
get.
P
So
what
we're
looking
at
is
1.5
million
per
year
now
for
the
debt
service
that
there's
no
plan
to
pay
for
3
million
per
year
in
the
future
and
no
homeless,
shelter
for
families
no
fund
for
seniors,
who
can't
pay
their
increase.
Garbage
collection
fee,
no
fun
for
working
parent
for
a
working
parent
who
has
to
cut
corners
on
food
and
yes,
this
happens.
P
They
can
pay
their
zone
parking
fee,
getting
a
payday
loan
to
get
the
boot
removed.
You
got
because
you
couldn't
pay
those
parking
tickets
and
can't
afford
money
for
ASO
and
I.
Understand
that
there's
first-come,
first-serve
financial
aid,
but
doesn't
that
imply
it
runs
out
and
also
they're
working
parents
even
with
the
reduced
fee
who
can't
afford
a
yso
I
could
not
afford
a
yso
ten
years
ago.
For
my
child,
she
did
not
play
soccer.
P
So
because
your
rent
was
weight
was
raised,
so
we
can
do
to
increase
property
taxes,
so
we
can
pay
the
robber
crown'd
debt.
You
can't
afford
to
figure
skating,
costumes
or
hockey,
lessons
because
you're
paying
for
after-school
care,
and
these
people
aren't
here
tonight
because
they
can
pay
a
sitter
they're
taking
a
night
class
or
working
their
third
job.
This
is
what
drives
people
from
cities,
even
cities
that
have
city
staff,
give
equity
reports,
so
you
threaten
our
ability
to
address
any
of
these
needs
in
the
future.
P
A
U
Evening,
Darlene
cannon
I
agreed
that
a
new
that
a
new
rubber
account
is
needed.
Just
we
just
don't
need
to
pay
fifty
three
million
dollars
to
do
it.
I
don't
agree
with
the
means
in
which
we're
paying
for
it
and
again,
let's,
let's
not
act
like
robber
colonists
for
all
Evanston
residents,
its
billing
built
for
Northwestern,
University,
beacon,
Academy
and
the
wealthiest
Evanston
residents.
They
are
the
ones
who
will
be
able
to
afford
to
utilize.
U
The
facility,
however,
will
be
paid
for
on
the
backs
of
the
city's
most
high-risk
residents
by
tax
increases
and
service
fees
which
disappear
in
fact,
blacks
and
brown.
People
we've
paid
bullying,
Andrews
less
than
half
of
the
first
bond
issue
to
the
state.
So
there's
no
hurry
to
issue
on
this
bond.
The
decision
to
raise
taxes
based
on
accepting
the
right
of
a
communist
of
a
bond
has
an
immediate
and
concrete
impact
on
the
cost
of
housing,
rent
and
social
services
for
all
residents,
especially
the
poor.
U
V
Evening,
City
Council,
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
Madhu.
Sharma
and
I
live
in
the
4th,
Ward
I'm
a
two-year
long
resident
of
Everson,
and
we
moved
here
because
of
the
opportunities
for
kids
I'm
here
to
speak
specifically
about
the
Early
Childhood
Center
at
Robert
ROM,
it's
a
very
affordable
option.
You
talked
a
lot
about.
One
of
your
goals
is
to
expand,
affordable
housing,
affordable
housing
is
not
completely.
V
There
are
affordable
living,
you
buy
a
house,
but
you
can't
afford
to
but
to
to
to
live
here
and
raise
a
family.
It's
gonna
be
very
difficult.
So,
right
now
the
Early
Childhood
Center
has
no
windows.
The
staff
is
loving
its
nurturing
the
kids
love
it.
It's
very
affordable.
One
of
the
things
that
kind
of
struck
me
is
that
when
we
had
the
polar
vortex
last
January,
they
gave
us
a
credit
for
two
days.
They
they
missed
I,
don't
know
any
Childhood
Center
and
the
North
Shore.
That
does
that.
V
So
thank
you
for
this
city
for
offering
that
option.
So,
just
to
reiterate
your
goals,
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
talked
about
goals
here.
First,
one
is
invest
in
city
infrastructure.
This
is
an
investment,
enhance
community
development
and
job
creation.
I
mean
this:
is
it
expanded,
fordable
housing?
I
talked
how
that's
linked
to
to
the
robert
crown
by
offering
opportunities
to
if
it
gets
something
to
do
other
than
playing
for
tonight
and
then
the
other
two
I'm,
not
sure
you
know,
maybe
ensuring
equity
and
all
city
operations
is
kind
of
difficult
to
achieve.
V
But
one
thing
is
the
the
the
Childhood
Center
is
very
diverse.
It
has
kids
from
all
of
Evanston
and
it's
it's
not
full
yet.
So
it's
probably
if
we
enhance
it
there'll
be
more
people
in
it,
I
just
really
like
the
staff
there
and
finally
stabilizing
long
term
city
finances.
This
takes
a
long
conversation
and
thanks
for
people
who
are,
you
know
watching
they're
the
city's
money,
and
we
need
that
conversation
for
everyone.
So,
in
short,
I
said
you
to
support
the
the
new
our
crown
and
thank
you
again
for
giving
me
the
opportunity.
W
One
of
the
greatest
assets
to
the
city
of
Evanston
is
what
has
been
brought
up
in
different
avenues
this
evening,
but
is
the
parks
and
particularly
James
Park
at
James
Park
there's
over
nine
baseball
fields?
There's
tennis
courts.
There
is
the
levy
Center
and
throughout
at
least
seven.
Eight
months
of
the
year.
Those
parks
in
those
facilities
at
the
park
rather
are
going
16
hours
a
day,
they're
starting
at
8:00
9:00
in
the
morning
and
they're
going
till
10:00
at
night.
Whenever
the,
whenever
the
lights
turn
off.
W
One
of
the
greatest
things
here
in
Evanston
is
the
preservation
of
the
parts
for
the
children,
and
why
am
I
bringing
all
of
this
up?
Cuz,
the
ingress
and
egress
if
the
James
Park
is
becoming
more
and
more
of
an
island
as
opposed
to
a
facility,
a
park
that
is
accessible
in
a
car
wash
that
has
already
been
trimmed
down
to
a
right
in
right
out
of
the
gas
station?
I'm
sorry
of
the
station
will
greatly
reduce
the
ingress
and
egress
that
is
bottleneck
down
to
a
single
lane
on
Oakton
Avenue.
W
The
other
part
of
this
is
the
commerce
issue.
There's
a
gas
station
across
the
street
there's
a
subway
across
the
street.
The
gas
station
already
accommodates
and
has
a
gas
station
as
well
as
a
car
wash
in
it
from
that
car.
Wash
four
percent
of
every
dollar
that's
being
spent
at
the
car
wash
is
provided
to
the
city
of
Evanston,
so
in
other
words,
when
you
go
in
and
you
get
your
gas
four
percent
of
the
four
percent
of
every
dollar
spent
on
the
gas
to
then
be
able
to
use.
W
The
carwash
goes
to
the
city
of
Evanston.
A
carwash
across
the
street
is
unable
to
provide
a
single
dollar
or
benefit
to
the
city
of
Evanston,
because
there
are
no
tax
revenues
that
come
from
a
service
carwash
facility.
So
again,
we
would
ask
that
you
would
preserve
the
natural
resources
of
the
city
of
Evanston,
one
of
its
greatest
resources
for
every
child.
W
W
It's
from
2017
like
I,
produce
one
from
2018
from
the
from
the
Dome
across
the
street
that
was
more
updated
than
the
one
that
was
in
the
application
submitted
for
the
gas
station
and
a
really
request
that
you
look
at
that,
because
this
bottleneck
is
going
to
completely
hamper
an
area
of
great
resource
for
the
city
of
Evanston.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
Roll
call
fare
to
make
it
now.
Our
folks
are
still
around
it's
related
to
the
financial
disclosure
and
affiliation
statements

due
for
all
members
of
the
diocese,
as
well
as
folks
out
there
who
serve
on
boards,
committees
and
commissions.
You
received
an
email
from
the
clerk's
office
for
your
financial
disclosure

affiliation
statements.
You
once
you
complete
the

title
seven
public
ways:
chapter
15,
board
of

recommends

adoption

39
oh
19,
by
which
the
City
Council
would
amend
title
7
chapter
15,
section
7
of
the
city
code
related
to
the
special
assessment
procedures
for
alley.
Improvements
is.
Z
It
starts
out
by
saying
assessment.
Costs
attributable
to
each
property
owner
is
based
on
the
unit
cost
method,
unless
a
more
equitable
alternative
method
is
appropriate
and
then
the
new
language
would
be
votes
by
the
property
owners
shall
be
weighted
by
the
value
of
the
assessment
costs
attributable
to
their
property.
So
I'm,
just
I
would
like
somebody
to
explain
that
to
me.
AB
Good
evening,
mayor,
Haggerty
aldermen,
based
on
that
public
works
director,
we
generally
assess
the
special
assessment
by
the
unit
method,
but
there
are
cases
and
sometimes
will
do
by
the
lineal
foot
or
by
the
area.
That's
and
that
occurs
for,
like
an
alley
by
central
street
were
half
the
business
half
the
properties
would
be
businesses
and
the
other
would
be
single-family
homes
actually
and
we
might
switch
to
where
it's
a
lineal
foot
method
rather
than
buy
units,
because
it's
hard
to
determine
the
units
on
a
commercial
property.
AB
Z
AB
It's
based
on
the
factor
of
how
we're
determined
how
the
costs
are
divided,
either
by
it
the
unit.
So
if
you
have
two
unit
property,
you
would
have
two
votes.
Two
more
single
family
homes
only
have
one
unit,
but
when
we
switch
to
a
different
method-
and
it
goes
to
lineal
foot,
then
if
somebody's
abutting-
the
alley
and
it's
100
feet
wide,
where
commercial
property
might
be
300
feet
wide,
then
the
commercial
property
would
get
three
votes
and
the
property
only
has
honor.
If
people
get
one
vote,
no.

Is

44
are

amending

budget
policy
staff
recommends
City
Council
adoption
of
resolution
44
our
19
amending
the
city
of
Evanston
budget
policy
to
state
that
tax
supported
general
obligation.
Debt

exceed

amount.
Thank.
AD
Good
evening,
mayor
in
the
members
of
the
City
Council,
so
last
two
weeks
back,
City
Council
adopted
to
have
the
debt
limit
pushed
back
252
from
162.
This
is
just
a
matter
of
kind
of
an
interpretation.
Does
it
mean
that
our
debt
has
gone
up
and
it
changes
to
what
we
are
issuing
in
the
bonds?
No,
absolutely
not
and
I
think
it
would
have
a
better
thing.
AD
If
you
see
on
the
page
314
where
we
say
that
what
is
the
unabated
principle
as
of
1
119,
which
is
around
134
millions,
and
then
we
added
the
2019
a
and
B
bonds
unabated
portion
of
22
million,
so
it
comes
to
157
million,
and
then
we
have
subtracted
in
December.
First,
we
will
make
the
principal
payment
of
roughly
7.2
million
dollars
to
get
to
it
around
150
million.
So
we
looked
at
that
number
as
of
December
31st
150
million,
and
we
thought
there.
AD
AD
AA
AD
We
have
the
like
a
letter
from
our
bond
council
that
based
on
the
numbers-
and
you
would
be
at
157
million-
we
recommend
it
to
be
168
and
recommend
means
they'll
go
in,
particularly
when
we
talk
to
the
rating
agency
or
outside
market.
Yes,
they
would
look
at
the
number
as
of
that
date.
So
that's
why
the
bond
council
recommended
to
have
160
million
any
number
higher
than
157
million.
So
that's
why
we
proposed
160
million
debt
limit
and
again
I
mean
I.
AD
AA
AE
AE
I
was:
can
you
hear
me
now,
okay,
to
answer
your
question
alderman?
What
will
happen
if
you
don't
raise
the
debt
limit
to
above
the
157
million,
then
you
will
only
be
allowed
to
issue
up
to
the
157
million
and
as
of
the
numbers
that
we
were
presented
with
by
the
city
and
its
financial
advisor,
that
number
was
was
higher.
I.
Excuse
me,
it
was
up
to
the
157
and
not
the
152.
So
we
will
not
issue,
are
proving
bond
council
opinion
and
allow
you
to
issue
the
bonds
you
can.
AE
You
can
downsize
the
body
issuance,
but
in
order
to
issue
the
full
amount
that
is
proposed,
you
would
need
to
increase
the
debt
limit.
Thank
you
and
again
just
to
clarify
it's
the
city's
debt
limit
as
a
home
rule
entity.
There's
no
state
limit
on
the
amount
of
debt
you
can
issue,
but
the
City
Council
has
a
has
adopted
a
budget
policy
that
limits
the
amount
of
general
obligation
backed
tax,
the
debt
that's
paid
for
taxes.
AE
You
would
have
to
double-check
the
numbers
with
you
know:
I
would
defer
to
the
to
the
finance
department
and
the
City
Council
or
excuse
me,
the
financial
advisor
for
the
actual
numbers,
but
the
original
resolution
that
we
looked
at
was
to
increase
the
dilemma
to
the
160
million,
which
we
were
comfortable
with
as

Council,
and
then
it
got
changed.
152

at
the
last
meeting.
Thank.
AA
AD
So
if
you
look
at
the
option,
like
I
mean
you
have
this
thing
open
the
page
314,
it
was
the
interpretation
where
we
took
into
they
account
the
December
first
principle
payment.
So
we
reduced
our
amount
by
7.2
million
from
157
million,
so
we
came
to
around
hundred
and
fifty
million.
So
we
said:
okay,
we'll
be
comfortable.
This
upon
further
discussion
and
from
the
forum
opinion
from
the
bond
Council,
she
said
yeah.
AD
It
would
rather
be
160
million
if
you
want
to
issue
the
same
amount
of
bonds,
and
so
that's
why
we
request
you
to
have
160
million
debt
limit.
This
does
not
affect
any
bond
issue.
It's
not
going
up.
That
is
not
going
up.
It's
just
matter
of
yeah
how
we
interpreted
the
last
time
and
after
we
get
the
forum
opinion
from
the
bond
council,
we
are
proposing
it
to
be
160
million.
AD
A
Thank
you,
alright,
see
seeing
no
more
lights
for
discussion,
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
have
the
city
clerk
take
the
role.

and.
B
Yeah
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
some
of
the
community
concern
because
I
think
there's
been
a
lot
of
concern
so
I,
you
know
I.
Think
I
was
at
miss
one
meeting
last
year
when
we
were
talking
about
one
bond
and
funding
this
and
I've
being
a
voice
concern
about
how
do
you
pay
for
things
right,
I,
don't
I,
don't
love
living
off
of
credit
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
so
I
I
did
what
I
understood
to
be
the
correct
math.
B
I
sat
with
whoever
we
had
a
CFO,
maybe
was
attached,
but
anyway
I
came
to
realize
that,
although
you
know
I,
don't
love
necessarily
bonding,
we
we
don't
have
a
huge
revenue
source
and
at
that
time
I
had
seen
kind
of
the
wave
of
public
opposition
to
us
raising
funds
in
terms
of
developments
or
you
know
using
land
that
we
have
for
developments.
If
people-people
didn't
want
that
right.
People
didn't
want
to
sell
the
harlot
Clark
and
these
things
and
and
we're
a
municipality.
So
we
are
not.
B
B
You
know
kind
of
figure
out
how
to
do
that
in
the
best
way
and
I.
Think
no
one
in
hindsight,
like
the
budget
process
from
last
year,
was
quite
disastrous,
but
we
also
have
to
be
honest
and
and
that
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
raise
to
raise
money
right
so
that
the
citizens
owed
it.
Eighty,
nine
percent
or
whatever
it
was
to
raise
property
taxes
quite
a
bit
for
the
schools
and
that's
a
commitment
by
our
city,
which
you
know
whether
you
voted
yes
or
no
to
it.
People
voted
for
that.
B
So
we
we
did
not
want
to
raise
property
taxes,
I'm
trying
to
speak,
but
I
can
just
give
my
vote
I'm
trying
to
be
respectful
and
and
explain
my
position.
You
don't
have
to
agree
with
that,
but
I
think
I'm
trying
to
give
it
so
I
would
appreciate
not
to
have
the
mumbling.
You
don't
have
to
agree.
That's
fine,
but
anyway
long
story
short.
So
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
ways
to
raise
money.
We
need
a
new
Crown
Center.
We
need
a
lot
of
new
improvements.
B
Your
concern
about
the
LOI
is
I
also
would
like
to
see
some
more
of
the
LOI
zai
my
mind
and
impression
that
the
larger
ones
have
already
come
forward
and
we've
seen
them
I,
you
know
have
to
essentially
make
the
best
decision
that
I
think
so,
while
I
don't
love
the
bonding
I.
Also
don't
love
the
people
in
South,
Evanston,
don't
necessary,
have
access
to
the
same
facilities?
I!
Don't
love
that
we
have
kids,
who
you
know,
there's
no
gym,
they
can
access.
B
You
cannot
currently
access
the
gym
in
the
robert
crown,
I'm
not
a
skater,
I'm
not
a
you
know
my
kids
don't
play
soccer
and
those
things
I'm
also
concerned
about
people
who
live
in
this
community
who
feel
like
they
can't
live
in
this
community.
I'm
cognizant,
however,
that
that's
many
reasons
and
I
know
the
city
plays
a
role
in
that,
but
there
are
many
taxing
bodies
in
the
city
and
many
the
city
is
probably
one
of
the
smaller
ones.
B
B
We
can
not
like
one
thing:
I
like
another
one
but
I
think
if
we're
looking
big-picture
we're
gonna
have
to
move
past,
you
know
kind
of
not
wanting
this
building
or
not
wanting
this
thing
or
not
winning
a
house
next
to
us
or
not
one
in
the
park
or
whatever.
It
is
because
all
those
things
that
we
don't
look
at
as
revenue
sources,
we
all
have
to
pay
for
it.
I
live
here
and
I
pay
taxes
here
to
it,
I'm
not
looking
to
increase
my
own
taxes
either.
B
You
know
I
have
elderly
relatives
who
live
here,
who
don't
want,
increase
their
taxes
either,
but
just
says
we
look
at
everything
right.
The
CTA
has
gone
up.
Everything
is
going
up.
We
live
in
a
city
where
things
are
rising,
but
what
rates
incomes
are
not
so
anyway,
I
digressed
on
that,
but
I
wanted
to
essentially
explain
to
you
all
I,
don't
I,
don't
love
it,
but
I
also,
don't
think
it
is
the
worst
thing
in
the
world.
B
I
think
it
will
be
a
great
service
to
our
community
once
we
have
it,
whether
you
ice,
skate
or
not,
I
think
that
the
child
care
is
very
much
negative
for
us
to
have
some
other,
affordable
childcare
options
again.
I
think
the
gym
is
great.
I
think
it'll
be
a
great
space
for
our
ability
and
for
our
neighborhood
and
yes,
we
will
have
to
pay
for
it
and
I.
Think
going
through
this
project
has
helped
me
understand.
Maybe
some
things
we
could
have
done
a
little
better
we
could
have
had.
B
Maybe
you
know
more
community
meetings
just
focused
on
the
funding
aspect.
We
could
have
maybe
asked
Robert
Crumb
friends
at
Robert
crown
to
open
up
their
meetings
or
I,
don't
even
know
when
they
meet,
but
more
people
could
have
come
with
funding
ideas
so
that
they
they
were
a
community
group
who
came
together
to
say
we
want
a
fundraise
and
I,
don't
think.
B
So
anyhow,
I'm
gonna
support
this
I
understand
people
don't
agree.
I've
had
many
Ward
meetings,
I've
had
many
citizens
who
have
you
know
who
would
like
to
see
a
new
Robert
crown.
They
don't
necessarily
say
I
want
to
see
a
higher
tax
bill,
but
they
would
like
to
see
a
Robert
crown
so
for
that
reason,
I
will
be
supporting
it.
Thank.
AA
You
so
this
can
be
the
end
of
the
world
for
some
families,
I
mean
I.
I
am
gonna,
be
very
hard
and
firm
on
anything
that
challenges.
Affordability,
I'm,
just
not
willing
to
compromise
there.
I
do
believe
that
there
are
somewhere
in
between
a
deteriorating
building
and
55
million
dollars.
It's
insulting
to
say
that
it's
insulting
to
be
told
that
we
have
to
do
it
this
way,
or
else
there's
going
to
be
a
lawsuit.
AA
There
certainly
are
some
other
things
that
can
be
discussed
and
I
would
like
us
to
consider
holding
this
so
that
we
can
discuss
what
our
other
options
are.
We
have
families
and
I,
don't
need
to
repeat
it.
You
all
get
calls
about
folks
that
have
to
leave
town
it's
happening
every
day
because
they
can't
afford
to
stay
here.
We
absolutely
need
to
improve
crown',
we
need
expanded,
affordable
childcare,
but
we
don't
need
to
add
to
the
expense
of
living
here
in
Evanston.
It's
not
fair.
AA
It's
in
complete
contradiction
to
everything
that
we
talked
about
most
in
terms
of
inclusion
and
affordability,
and
there
is
further
discussion
that
we
can
have
and
I
just
like
to
ask
that
we
I
see
that
we
have
may
16th
is
the
time
that
the
bond
sale
happened.
The
residents
have
questions
about
transparency,
with
the
agreements
between
the
donors
and
and
and
what
we're
committing
to
there
I'm
just
asking
that
we
take
another
week
to
look
into
what
our
options
are.
Thank.

So,
okay,
so
now
we
now
we
now
we
go
ahead
and
vote
on
that

City
Clerk.
Could
you
take
the
roll
on
yeah?
So
if
it
failed
to
right
now,
we'll
see
how
this
vote
goes,
but
that
call
no,
but
the
call
no,
but
that
would
he
called
the
question.
He
called
the
question
to
vote
on
eight
on

There
was

where
10
feet
is
required.
This
is
for
action.
There.
E
I
understand
this
has
support,
but
I
wanted
to
express
my
concerns.
This
is
in
the
ninth
ward.
My
ward
is
across
the
street
in
the
eighth
ward
and
I
have
two
concerns.
Only
two
concerns
number
one.
This
is
immediately
not
down
the
street
or
around
the
corner,
but
this
is
face
to
face
immediately
across
the
street
from
a
car
wash.
E
E
When
there's
a
case
study,
however,
I've
personally
been
trapped
in
that
gas
station
coming
out
when
there
has
been
a
sports
dome
activity
letting
out
at
the
same
time-
and
there
is
a
traffic
signal
at
that
at
that
exit,
it's
the
most
horrendous
feeling
when
you
are
trapped
in
between
four
or
five
cars
in
a
small
space.
I
cannot
imagine
and
I
know,
there's
left
turn
or
right
turn
only
coming
out
of
the
new
car
wash,
which
has
I.
Don't
know
how
many
bays
it
is.
E
It
is
going
to
be
a
very
unbelievable
mess
when
this
happens
and
right
down.
The
street,
of
course,
like
two
driveways
away,
is
home
depot,
which
is
going
to
be
really
interesting,
but
I
I
think
this
is
so
unusual
that
anybody
would
want
to
use
this
space
for
a
new
car
wash
it's
it's
just
so
unusual
that
that
this
would
be
placed
there.
It's
face
to
face
with
another
car
wash
there's
a
car
wash
right
down
the
street
on
dodge
at
Dempster.
E
There's
a
car
wash
right
across
the
way
on
Dempster,
a
self
carwash
and
another
another
I
think
it's
another
specs
car
wash
and
it's
just
unbelievable
I,
don't
know
how
many
car
washes.
We
need
and
I
I'm
sure
it's
there's
going
to
be
some
cannibalization,
but
you
know
go
for
it.
I
I,
just
I,
just
can't
see
this
working
out
in
the
long
run,
but
I'm
gonna
vote
against
it.
B
B
So
how
do
I
Rainey
make
some
points
in
that?
There
is
a
lot
of
traffic
on
Oakton.
We
finally
have
gotten
an
Oakton
traffic
study
budget,
so
that
will
happen
in
the
fall
I
believe
this
is
also
the
same
street
where,
as
you
know,
we
have
wearing
negotiations
to
sell
the
recycling
center,
which
is
going
to
bring
more
traffic,
because
we
hope
that
will
be
a
thriving
business.
B
B
Where
we
get
to
the
you
know,
it
goes
from
the
two
lanes
to
the
one
lane
and
there
is
some
traffic
back
up
from
the
Home
Depot
I'm,
trying
to
work
with
them,
because
people
turn
it
by
sticking
shake
but
Lawton
long
story
short
for
this
development.
They
have
been
very
helpful.
They
have
come
to
three
or
four
board
meetings.
They
have
worked
with
Davor.
B
They
have
passed
all
of
the
things
we
have
sent
to
pass
and
in
terms
of
them
being
across
from
the
other
car
wash
I
mean
I
can
think
of
a
gazillion
coffee
shops.
We
have
across
from
each
other.
I
can
think
of
you
know
all
kind
of
businesses
we
have
that
are
across
from
comparable
businesses
and
I.
Don't
think
that
that
is
a
something
that
we
necessarily
take
into
consideration
when
we
rule
for
or
against
things
these
gentlemen
also
have
another
business
or
some
of
them.
B
There's
partners
with
in
Evanston
and
and
they've,
been
by
business
owners,
so
I
that
they're
working
with
a
difficult
location,
it
is
not
maybe
going
to
you
know,
ring
the
alarm
for
increases
in
our
sales
tax,
but
it
will
employ
some
folks.
It
will
provide
a
service
to
our
constituents
who
are
looking
for
that
and
again
it
will
get
another
property
that
has
been
off
the
tax
rolls
for
years
under
our
tax
rolls
generating
for
our
economy.
AA
You
so
I've
never
known
us
to
be
in
the
management
in
terms
of
like
non-competes.
So
as
Audrey
Fleming
said,
you
know,
you
can
get
a
burger
at
McDonald's,
Burger,
King
and
like
Philly,
something
or
another
all
on
you
know,
corners.
So
I
think
that
this
business
has
complied
with
everything
that
we've
asked
they've
passed,
dapper
and
everything
else
they
have
exhausted.
AA
E
Wanna,
take
a
look
at
the
zoning
code
and
special
uses
and
you'll
see
that
we
do
have
compete,
and
you
know
complex
issues
having
to
do
with
zoning
so
anyway,
these
are
very
nice
people
and
I.
They
have
done
a
great
job
in
planning
for
this
I'm
I'm.
Just
saying
that
you
know
restaurants
and
bars,
and
things
like
that.
One
of
the
things
you
can't
do
at
a
car
wash
is
you
can't
walk
to
the
car
wash
you
got
to
drive
your
car,
the
automobile
traffic
and
the
the
face
to
face
car
washes.
E

A
C
A

Caused
Awards
before
we
move
on,
we
took
a
vote
incorrectly
there
with
the
calling
of
the
question
and
I
just
want
to.
If
we
don't
follow
our
rules,
we
potentially
put
the
vote
in
jeopardy
when
alderman
Wilson
made
the
motion
to
call
the
question.
Our
rules
say
that
if
our
rules
are
silent,
we
follow
Robert's
Rules
of
Order
and
in
order
to
call
the
question
one,
anyone
who
calls
the
question
has
to
have
the
floor
and
all
the
Wilson
did
not
have
the
floor
at
the
time.
It
also
requires
a
second
I.
A
A
C
A
Okay,
so
can
given,
if
we've
incorrectly,
then
procedurally
done
something.
Can
we
go
back
to
that
item
all
right,
so
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
go
back.
This
is
going
back
to
item
aa-23
get
my
notes
here.
We're
gonna
go
back
to
a
23
which
is
ordinance
27,
0,
19
authorizing
2019,
a
and
B
general
obligation
bonds
and
we're
going
to
start
this
all
over
again
from
the
beginning,
I
know:
we've
had
a
whole
conversation.
Is
there
someone
that
would
like
to
move
this
for
discussion?
AG
A
E
AF
AG
AG
More,
you
know,
I,
truly
almond,
Fleming,
actually
I
think
you
very
eloquently
and
did
an
excellent
job
in
explaining
it
all,
and
this
has
been
a
you
know,
like
a
nine
to
ten
year
process
extensively
vetted.
The
amount
of
information
that's
available
is
extremely
extensive.
We've
had
a
lot
of
meetings
at
a
meeting
at
the
Crown
Center.
AG
The
information
is
all
here.
If
you
know,
and
you
don't
even
really
need
to
FOIA
most
of
it
most
of
it.
If
you,
google,
the
city
website,
you
know
you
find
all
of
this
stuff
there.
So
I,
just
you
know,
I,
don't
understand
or
fathom.
Why
and
I
and
I
see
who
talks.
But
you
know
in
my
community:
I
live
in
the
4th
Ward,
but
I
live
on.
Main
Street
I
live
a
couple
blocks
from
the
Crown
Center.
AG
This
is
my
neighborhood
I,
see
who
uses
the
facility
and
all
the
men
Fleming.
As
you
said,
I,
don't
understand
why
you
know
that
you
know
if
we
had
somebody
made
the
point
before
I
made
it
previously.
You'd
draw
a
line
diagonally
through
the
city,
and
the
libraries
are
all
on
one
side
and
not
on
the
other
side,
and
you
know
it's
it's
just
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
me.
We
talked
about
you
know
the
money
impact.
You
know
this
is
not
the
tax
problem.
This
is
not
the
pension
deficit.
AG
This
is
not
the
cause
of
that.
We
are
under
serving
a
large
number
of
people
in
our
community
and
finally,
after
a
long
period
of
time,
we're
going
to
get
to
that
so
I.
You
know
I
got
implore
and
beg
you
all
to
support
going
forward
with
this.
It's
significantly
built.
You
know
the
idea
that
you
can
pause
it
or
you
know
re-engineer
things
or
any
of
that
we
are
running
the
risk
of
having
to
give
it
back
some
or
all
of
the
money
that's
been
raised,
so
imagine
how
awesome
that
would
be.
AG
We've
got
a
half-built
building
and
we
return
the
money
that
was
raised
by
the
fundraising
effort.
That's
pretty
insane,
so
you
know
we're
running
all
kinds
of
risks
here
and
you
know
how
awesome
is
that
going
to
be
for
the
people
in
the
neighborhood
to
have
unfinished
sports
fields
and
a
fence
up
for
two
three
four
five
years
that
is
not
moving
our
community
forward.
So
we've
vetted
this
for
close
to
a
decade.
Please,
let's
move
forward
and
and
get
this
priority
for
our
community
done
over
an
extended
period
of
time.
AG
Alderman
Rainey
the
people
who've
been
here
for
a
long
time.
We've
worked
very
hard
and
diligently
to
bring
the
debt
level
down
because
we
knew
this
project
was
coming,
I
think
10
12
years
ago.
The
debt
amount
was
something
in
the
neighborhood
of
195
million.
We
paid
that
down
because
we
knew
as
alderman
Fleming
indicated.
You
don't
have
the
ability
to
write
a
check
for
it.
We
knew
that
we're
gonna
need
this
capacity.
B
So
I
still
stand
behind
everything.
I
said,
although
I
went
kind
of
in
a
circle.
My
my
support
here
is
that
you
know
unless
our
bond
counsel
tells
me
otherwise
which
they
might
even
being
gone
on
now
for
us
to,
for
us
to
have
a
meeting
dedicated
to
just
finance
I
understand
people
are
not
going
to
leave
their
that's
silly,
happy
or
whatever,
but
we
would
have
answered
some
questions
that
we
don't
get
to
answer
here.
B
We
could,
you
know,
have
a
more
informal
discussion
about
paying
for
it
and
then
we
could
come
back
and
we
would
have
met
that
concern
again.
I,
don't
think
I'm
gonna
nicely
change
him
eyes.
We
hope
we
would
have
met
that
concern
and
that
asked
of
us
I
didn't
go
to
all
35.
Whatever
meetings
we
had
I
did
sit
here
and
kind
of
peruse
online
and
saw
some.
B
A
A
Ok,
so
city
clerk
says
it
has
to
be
regular.
Regular
would
mean
in
the
city
managers
walking
back
to
the
Dyess
I
believe
regular
means
May,
13th,
meaning,
okay,
so
the
May
13th
meeting.
So
then
the
question
becomes,
if
we
don't,
you
know,
vote
affirmative
ly
for
this
ordinance
and
have
to
wait.
You
know
three
three
weeks.
What
position
does
that
put
the
city
in
in
regards
to
this
project
and.
AC
The
answers
and
the
answers
in
jeopardy,
and
so
I've
asked
mr.
Desai,
who
was
already
writing
Holmes
coming
back.
We
can
give
you
more
particulars
of
what
that
jeopardy
actually
means.
I
think
I
heard
briefly:
alderman
Wilson's
comments
about
the
potential
of
stopping
the
project.
I
mean
I,
think
that's
something
we
would
have
to
I.
Don't
think
we
have
the
information
before
us
this
evening
to
be
able
to
do
that
so,
but
certainly
we
would
have
to
the
bond
is
you
could
not
go
forward
with
a
schedule?
AC
A
AH
Thank
you,
mr.
mr.
mayor,
everything
that
alderman
Wilson
said
is
is
is
correct
and
Aldrin
Fleming
I
agree
with
you
the
way
you
you
put
it.
This
is
really
really
important.
The
entire
time
I
have
been
on
the
council
and
I.
Think
alderman
Rainey
would
probably
say
the
same
thing.
Robert
crown
has
been
an
issue.
We
looked
at
every
possible
way
to
try
and
other
ways
to
fundraise
for
this
or
a
fund.
It
we
looked
at
public-private
partnerships.
AH
We
found
out
how
disastrous
those
were
for
so
many
other
communities,
and
then
we
realized
we
were
going
to
have
to
do
it
ourselves.
I
can
still
remember
the
first
time.
I
walked
into
Robert
crown
when
my
kids
were
a
little
and
I
thought.
What
the
heck
kind
of
building
is
this
and
it
is
only
to
been
deteriorating
since
then,
you
know
what
I
see
what
we
are
about
to
build,
what
we
are
building
right
there
on
that
corner.
AH
AH
It's
this
affordable,
preschool
I,
know
many
many
kids
who
are
now
in
college
who
were
who
went
to
that
preschool
because
that
was
the
one
their
families
could
afford,
and
they
really,
as
the
testament
testimony
today
indicates
if
it's
a
superb
preschool,
but
on
top
of
it
is
this
library
it's
something
that
people
have
been
asking
us
for
for
so
long
and
to
have
it
all
combined
in
this
building,
it's
extraordinary
you
will
be
able
to
go
to
the
library
well.
Well,
one
of
your
children
is
playing
the
Kim.
AH
While
someone
else
in
your
family
is
ice-skating
well
well,
something
else
is
happening
or
you
it's
meeting
space
we're
so
lacking
meeting
space
in
many
places
and
the
community-
and
this
is
meeting
space-
I
mean
I.
Look
at
this
as
a
place
that
is
really
going
to
address
the
needs
of
people,
no
matter
what
age
you
are
in
Evanston,
you
can
walk
that
track.
If
you're,
if
you're
a
senior
you
can
in
the
sunshine,
you
can
meet
friends
in
that
library.
AH
We
know
how
amazing
and
extraordinary
the
services
are
that
are
coming
from
our
main
library
and
here's
a
chance
to
put
it
in
a
place
that,
where
we
really
have
not
we've
been
lacking
library
services
for
so
long
and
real
community
services
for
so
long.
You
know
this.
Is
this
building's
going
to
last
for
60
years?
I
mean
the
way
it's
being
built,
and
so
tonight
is
the
night.
AH
When
we
decide
to
build
something
that
really
is
going
to
benefit
our
community
for
the
rest
of
our
lifetimes
and
and
and
it
will,
we
will
it'll
be
renovated,
it'll
other
things
will
happen,
but
and
also
on
the
outside
those
fields.
My
kids
played
in
those
fields
when
they
were
running,
you
know
up
to
their
ankles
and
water
and
the
numbers
of
times
different
games
were
called
off
because
it
rained
the
day
before
we
know
how
transformative
the
turf
field
has
been
at
the
high
school
for
all.
AH
That's
what
we've
got
the
opportunity
to
go
forward
with
now
and
we
can't
stop
the
construction
right
now,
we'll
end
up
with
a
shell
and-
and
you
know
that
that's
the
last
thing
that
this
community
needs.
This
is
our
opportunity.
This
is
this
is
going
to
improve
the
lives
of
so
many
Evanston,
no
matter
where
you
live.
F
A
A
A
AI
I
could
ask
for
a
point
of
clarification
from
the
city
manager
and
all
you
withdraw
your
motion.
Just
so,
I
can
seek
that
clarification
because
I
think
there
may
be
two
parts.
Oh
so
it's
it's
just
we
thought.
Yes,
yes,
just
do
you
mind
withdrawing
your
motion.
I
have
a
couple
of
Kherson,
so
my
first
clarification
is
I
want
to
truly
understand
where
we're
in
jeopardy.
AI
AI
I
supposed
to
circle
back
with
the
city
manager
just
to
understand
the
impact
of
waiting,
so
I
want
to
be
clear
that
if
it's
jeopardy,
let's
understand
why
and
how
and
if
we
cannot
clarify
it
at
this
meeting,
then
I'm
leaning
towards
it.
Isn't
there
isn't
truly
exactly
so?
Can
you
explain
to
me
how,
if
we
delay
this
even
one
week
or
two
weeks
how
it
puts
the
whole
project
at
risk
just
for
clarification
for
all
of
us
behind
the
dais?
Please
certainly
thank
you
so.
AC
What
is
most
a
jeopardy,
then,
is
the
continued
funding
of
the
project.
So
we
are.
We
have
been
tracking
to
a
May
16th
sale
of
the
bonds.
If
we
we
cannot
move
forward
with
continued
preparation
with
that
sale.
If
there
is
not
another
meeting
until
May
13th
the
plan
with
the
by
counsel
with
the
financial
advisors,
with
the
the
rating
agencies
all
track
to
that
date,
so
we
would
have
to
stop.
We
would
have
to
take
the
the
bonds
out
of
the
market
as
they
were
planned
to
be
sold.
AC
AC
That
I
will
not
have
the
ability
the
city
will
not
have
the
ability
to
pay
for,
and
so
we
will
have
to
make
the
decision
that,
while
there
is
this
question,
it
will
likely
cause
concern
in
the
bond
markets,
which
will
mean
that
we'll
still
be
rated,
but
the
rating
will
be
in
jeopardy.
It
will
cost
us
more
to
sell
the
bonds
if
the
council
decides
on
May
13th
that
you
want
to
we'll
take
even
more
time.
AC
I,
don't
know,
I've
never
been
down
this
road
before,
but
we
have
a
54
million
dollar
project
which
we
will
not
have
the
ability
to
pay
for
and
so
I
think
the
council
I'll
have
to
come
back
to
the
council
prudently
and
say
we
probably
would
need
to
stop
work
because
we
don't
know
how
we're
going
to
be
able
to
finish
paying
for
it.
There
have
been
issues
in
questions
regarding
donors,
certainly
as
I
think.
AC
We've
all
come
to
learn
the
donors
like
certainty
and
if
this
project
now
and
isn't,
there
is
not
a
way
to
fund
the
conclusion
of
the
project
to
finish
the
project.
That
is
a
tremendous
uncertainty
and
so
donors
would
have
to
question.
Is
this
the
best
way
for
them
to
invest
money
in
our
community?
So
all
we
break
tight
members
of
the
council.
That's
my
best
estimation,
or
at
this
you
know.
Clearly
the
cost
of
issuance
I
think
will
go
up
because
the
bond
markets
will
say
the
this
project
truly.
AC
AI
X
AC
The
second
year
of
the
construction
is
the
demolition
of
the
existing
facility
right
and
the
construction
of
the
of
the
field.
So
are
we
are
on
track
to
occupy
the
building
in
early
December
have
programs
there.
We
are
scheduling
teams
with
that
understanding
and
other
use
of
the
library
has
done
that,
so
it
will
be
difficult
for
us
I
think.
AC
If
a
construction
is
stopped
to
certainly
meet
that
deadline,
then
we
have
the
winter
issues
on
the
back
end
of
this
term,
again
I'm
trying
to
I'm
trying
to
be
honest
in
the
city
council,
not
trying
to
be
hysterical
in
any
way,
shape
or
form,
but
I
think
this
is
a
major
major
issue
for
a
project
that
we
have
been
working
on.
We
talked
about
2016
mary
Rosinski
over
the
weekend
asked:
where
was
the
feasibility
study
for
this
project?
AC
The
feasibility
study
for
this
project
was
2011
right
all
right,
and
so
we
are
in
the
eighth
year
of
planning
and
it's
interesting
when
you
look
at
the
feasibility
study.
The
numbers
that
were
provided
in
2011
are
much
closer
to
the
2019
numbers.
Then
I
think
many
people
realize
so
this
has
been
an
eighth
year
projects
and
we
have
a
building
that
is
nine
months
under
construction
and.
AI
AI
AA
Here
is
this
financial
decision
was
made
without
including
the
folks
that
are
struggling
most
to
stay
here
and
right
now
we
have
to
decide
on
what's
best
for
the
city.
We
need
the
building,
I
mean
I'm,
not
ever
arguing
that
we
don't
need
the
building
and
all
the
amenities
that
are
coming
in
there,
but
it
led
with
ice
hockey
and
we've
added
on
amenities
that
better
serve
the
rest
of
the
community.
And
now
here
we
are
having
to
decide
between.
AA
AA
Affordability,
and
now
we
don't
have
any
option
that
works
for
the
residents
like
either
way
is
a
challenge
for
the
resident,
so
I
still
don't
understand
how
there
is
not
another
workaround
to
have
another
meeting
to
give
more
information
to
the
residents
to
give
them
the
understanding
on
what
this
means,
what
the
agreements
are
between
the
donor
community?
Why
don't?
We
have
any
more
options
and
a
test
just
came
in
I
mean
if
you
want
to
speak
to
this
city
manager.
AD
C
AC
Mr.
City
Clerk,
if
I,
could
just
interrupt
so
who
test
what
you've
missed,
while
you
were
driving
home,
was
that
the
City
Council
is
now
reconsidering
its
decision.
A
motion
that
that's
considering
would
move
a
final
decision
on
this
to
Monday
May
13th,
okay,
so
so
that
so
that
I
mr.
C
Clerk.
Thank
you
for
leaving,
interrupts
just.
AD
T
AC
You
the
context
of
what
we're
talking
about
I
have
shared.
While
you
were
coming
back,
the
concern
that
it
is.
It
is
many
months
in
lining
up
this
date,
the
FAS
and
the
the
bond
rating
agencies,
and
that
we
would
likely
not
be
able
to
move
forward
with
two
days
notice.
Given
the
uncertainty
that
we
would
have
to
reset
that
sale
to
sometime
in
the
future.
Right.
AD
AD
Counsel,
so
yes,
I
was
just
talking
to
right
after
this
item
pastoral
support
affairs
with
the
FA,
the
financial
advisor
and
the
bond
Council
they're
about
the
next
steps
and
the
next
step
is
we
prepare
that
called
the
preliminary
official
statement
POS
and
that
we
mark
it
for
three
weeks
to
the
underwriter
potential
people
who
want
to
buy
this
thing
before
we
can
close
not
close
before
we
have
the
final
sale
by
competitive
bidding
on
May
16th.
So
we
need
that
time.
Three
days
is
much
less.
AD
The
other
thing
which
I
might
suspect
that
when
I
was
talking
to
one
of
the
analysts
at
Fitch
rating
agencies
and
this,
if
we
get
all
the
Evanston
news
we
they
have
subscribed
to
the
fridge
about
the
budgets
what's
going
on.
So
that
might
cast
a
negative
shadow
on
that
that
why
City
Council
decided
to
postpone
this
ward
and
that
could
affect
our
rating
I
mean
they
are
coming
out
with
the
rating
on
Wednesday
April
24th.
AD
AC
AD
Then
we
need
almost
three
weeks
to
close
when
we
kind
of
you
know,
and
it's
a
lot
of
documents
to
be
signed,
reviewed
by
the
bond
Council
to
be
submitted
to
the
county
and
other
agencies
before
we
can
have
final
money
on
the
end.
So
when
we
close
the
deal-
and
that's
right
now
proposed
I
think
to
be
closed
on
10th
of
June,
so
even
if
we
stay
on
course,
we
are
not
going
to
see
any
money
before
10th
of
June.
Y
AF
AH
While
you
excuse
me
mr.
city
manager,
you
have
mentioned,
and
I
have
discussed
this
with
people
who
have
contacted
me
that
we
have
a
on
our
city
web
page.
We
have
a
tab
for
robert
crown.
The
new
robert
crown
project.
Can
you
describe
for
us?
What
is
on
that
robert
crown
page?
Is
it
possible
to
even
put
it
up
here?
I.
AC
AH
You
know
I
I've
had
several
residents
call
me
and
ask
me
questions
about
things
and
I
get
the
answers
for
them.
From
this
robert
crown
web
page,
many
of
the
people
I've
talked
to
have
there
they're
only
listening
to
some
of
the
critics
of
this
and
they're,
not
taking
the
time
to
actually
research
and
find
out
the
facts
that
are
out
there,
and
this
I
think
this
is
critically
important,
that
people
know
that
this
information
is
available
and
it
has
been
available
for
a
long
time.
Sure.
AC
AC
And
I
think
we're
bringing
it
up
it.
It
starts
with
actions
beginning
in
January
of
2016
again
I
thank
mr.
Osinski
for
her
inquiry,
because
there
really
is
a
history
of
the
project
that
that
started
in
2009,
between
2009
and
in
2016.
So
we
just
added
today
a
matter
of
fact:
the
request
for
Proposal
the
feasibility
study,
my
apologies,
the
feasibility
study
and
the
initial
work
that
was
done
on
the
the
property
the
so
that
has
been
on
the
website
for
some
time.
AC
So
we've
been
very
transparent
about
the
processes,
we've
been
very
transparent
about
how
we
plan
to
pay
for
it,
and,
quite
honestly,
it
has
been
a
policy
decision
of
the
City
Council.
The
City
Council
saw
the
numbers.
If
you
recall,
the
final
work
that
was
done
was
right.
After
mr.
Lyons
departure
we
brought
in
Bill
Stafford
mr.
Jaffer
came
before
the
City
Council
and
said
this
is
how
you
will
if
you
wish
to
move
forward
with
this
project.
This
is
how
you
pay
for
it,
and
so
the
City
Council
agreed
to
that
I.
AC
AD
One
of
the
things
I
just
want
to
add
to
the
mayor
and
the
City
Council
that,
yes,
that
why
we
are
going
a
couple
of
months
earlier
than
the
last
year
with
the
schedule
that
we
might
run
out
of
the
money
by
June
for
the
Robert
Crumb
project.
So
that's
why
we
are
a
couple
of
months
ahead
compared
to
the
last
year.
So
that
is
one
of
the
reason
here.
O
AJ
Mayor
Haggerty
city
clerk,
honorable
members
of
the
City
Council,
I'm
laura
big
city
engineer.
So,
as
we've
been
doing,
the
project
we
spent
about
ten
million
dollars
on
the
construction
contract
and
the
burn
rate
has
been
about
one
to
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
per
month,
as
they
have
been
working
part
of
what
it
is
limited.
AJ
So
when
I
look
at
the
cash
flow
projections,
which
we've
worked
through
pretty
clearly
with
the
architect,
with
the
contractor,
with
our
own
staff
and
with
our
finance
department,
that
would
show
us
hitting
the
original
twenty
four
million
dollar
bond
that
was
sold.
We
will
a
spent
that
by
June
/
July,
depending
on
the
exact
numbers,
which
is
why
working
with
potage
he
had
indicated.
We
should
really
work
on
selling
the
bonds
much
earlier
than
we
normally
do.
We
usually
don't
sell
them
till
mid
summer
or
fall.
AG
And
Matai
have
been
on
the
council:
we've
enjoyed
a
very
solid
bond
rating
for
quite
some
time.
Correct,
yes,
and,
and
part
of
that
is
I-
think
the
perceived
financial
stability.
So
you
know
saying
that
we're
gonna
hold
on
this
we're
not
going
to
approve
the
bond
issue.
I
do
you
think
jeopardizes
that
and
a
substantial
portion?
You
know
we
look
at
the
total
number
of
what
it's
going
to
cost,
but
if
you
increase
the
interest
rate
on
that,
it
not
only
affects
this
project,
but
it
affects
all
of
our
borrowers.
AD
AG
Right
so
the
capital
improvement
projects.
So
if
we're,
if
we're
really
interested
in
protecting,
you
know
the
cost
to
the
taxpayers
and
preserving
the
interest
of
the
taxpayers,
this
is
really
not
the
way
to
do
that.
Jeopardizing
the
bond
rating
is
not
the
way
to
do
that.
We're
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
the
same
level
of
capital
improvements,
potentially
materials
have
been
ordered.
Those
are,
you
know,
being
delivered
on
a
rolling
basis,
so
we're
gonna
end
up.
AG
If
this
stops,
we're
gonna
be
paying
for
materials
or
gonna,
be
looking
at
a
shell
of
a
building
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
alderman
Braithwaite
and
I
had
a
meeting
at
the
Crown
Center.
There
was
I
think
well
over
a
hundred
people
there
and
this
the
finance
staff
was
there.
They
answered
all
of
the
questions
that
were
asked
of
us
and
then
nobody
left
the
building.
I,
don't
know
not
that
long
ago,
okay,
so
February,
so
so
that's
not
that
long
ago.
AG
So
you
know
the
my
perception
is
that
this
kind
of
chaos
is
perpetuated
by
social
media.
I.
Think
it's
perpetuated
by
a
small
number
of
people
who
simply
want
to
stop
the
project
and
simply
want
to
create
adversity
for
our
council.
You
know
you
see
this
the
same
kind
of
thing
getting
repeated
and
we
approve
this.
We
made
a
decision.
We
made
a
financial
decision,
it
was
a
hard
decision.
It
was
planned
for
for
a
very
long
time
and
if
we
are
truly
interested
in
protecting
the
taxpayers
we
go.
AG
AK
AK
It
doesn't
look
like
the
council
is
committed
to
this
project
and
that's
unbelievable
to
those
of
us
who
have
been
sitting
up
here
for
so
many
years.
Talking
about
this
and
working
hard
toward
it
and
and
to
a
project,
that's
going
to
serve
the
entire
community
in
a
way
that
we
all
can
be
proud
of.
I,
just
I,
just
really
don't
understand.
AK
Why
we're
doing
this
tonight
there
were
opportunities
in
the
recent
past.
If
there
needed
to
be
a
meeting,
we
could
have
set
up
meeting
up,
go
ahead
and
I
think
called
him.
A
breath.
Wade
alluded
to
this
I
mean
we
can
go
ahead
and
have
a
meeting,
even
after
our
vote
tonight,
and
explain
to
people
who
still
don't
understand.
AK
There's
an
incredible
amount
of
information
out
there
and
I've
talked
to
a
lot
of
people
who
have
read
up
and
who
are
have
have
concerns
that
have
been
flamed
on
social
media
and
when
you
talk
to
them
and
you
give
them
the
information
they
understand
it,
they
understand
how
long
we've
been
working
on
it.
But
please
don't
do
this.
This
project
is
just
really
too
big.
Thank.
Y
That
alderman
druh
Simmons
wanted
to
vote
on.
Holding
this
a
week.
We
could
have
had
the
vote.
It
was
seconded
violin
fleming
all
the
wilson
jumped
in,
and
then
we
decided
that
we
weren't
gonna
listen
to
what
all
of
andrew
simmons
wanted
to
talk
about,
rather
than
vote
on
it
it
would
have
lost.
We
would
have
had
the
same
vote.
The
6-3
vote
we
would
have
been
out
of
here
we'd
be
an
executive
session
for
the
last
45
minutes.
Instead,
she
gets
kind
of
sended
to
look
at
the
website.
Robin.
That's
where
your
answers
are.
Y
She
doesn't
get
hurt
out.
That's
the
problem.
Nobody
wants
to
stop
this
project.
This
is
the
this
will
be.
The
best
project
in
the
history
of
Evanston.
I
have
no
doubt
and
I
realized
that
a
lot
of
people
were
worried
about
the
cost,
but
it's
a
generational
project
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity
you
look
at
where
it
is
in
the
city
and
what's
there
now
and
how
important
it
is
for
all
the
residents
of
Evanston
to
have
a
place
to
go.
Y
This
is
a
hugely
important
project,
but
all
the
Unruh
Simmons
has
a
right
to
ask
a
question
and
say
hold
off
for
a
week,
but
instead
of
hearing
her
out,
you
jumped
in
with
something
procedural,
and
here
we
are
so,
let's
run
the
boat
again.
Let's
have
it
be
six
three,
let's,
let's
just
get
this
over
with,
but
the
problem
isn't
this:
it
isn't
science,
it's
the
fact
that
she
was
disrespected
that
harshly
and
I
watched
it.
That's
what
it
was.
Y
A
D
B
B
You
know
I
I'm,
not
a
bond
master
I,
don't
see
that
the
big
need
and
not
having
another
meeting
but
I
also
know
that
we
do
need
to
move
for.
I
do
not
know
what
once,
as
we
said,
an
empty
shell
of
a
building
or
any
other
ramifications
that
come
from
that.
So
I
will
go
back
to
my
original
statement
of
supporting
this
project.
I.
B
Do
think
that
two
things
we
should
have
learned
as
a
council
premiere
one
is
that
we
do
need
to
give
our
peers
the
floor
to
get
some
clarification
on
decisions
that
we're
making,
even
if
it
takes
more
time
to
we
can
always
do
a
better
job
with
communicating
with
our
residents.
Even
if
you
know
we
feel
like
we've
put
it
all
on
the
website.
We've
done
all
the
things
we
think
we
need
to
do.
I.
D
E
E
Then
it
would
have
been
too
late
to
have
the
bond
issue
sale.
So
I
I
thought
that
was
an
inappropriate
motion
and
you
know
I
mean
I
felt
that
there
was
nothing
else.
We
could
do
other
than
to
challenge.
That
so
I
mean
that's.
You
know
like
they
say
this,
the
same
beanbag.
This
is
baseball.
So
thank.
E
AA
The
I've
never
wanted
to
stop
the
project
and
I
look
forward
to
the
families
in
the
fifth
Ward
going
to
enjoy
proper
crown.
The
problem
here
that
I
have
is
the
same
one,
that
the
residents
have
being
dismissed,
decisions
being
made
by
the
most
privileged
in
our
community
and
not
having
a
voice
that
is
heard.
I
right
here
on
city
council
have
been
dismissed
by
my
own
colleagues,
sometimes
just
like
I'm
speaking
a
different
language,
because
it's
not
what
you
want
to
hear.
So
I
understand
the
frustrations
of
the
resident.
AA
They
ask
a
simple
question:
an
email
is
not
that
hard
to
reply
to
it.
If
you're
saying.
Oh
all,
the
information
is
online,
then
just
point
and
click
send
them
a
link
or
whatever.
If
that
is
the
actual
case,
and
don't
just
be
dismissive,
so
all
I'm
asking
is
that
we
don't
continue
to
treat
our
residents
like
this
and
I'm
I'm,
demanding
that
you
don't
continue
to
treat
me
like
this,
because
I
work
just
as
hard
as
everyone
else
on
the
City
Council
serve
the
residents
that
have
the
most
need
and
I
should
be
heard.
AA
AA
If
we
would
respect
everybody
in
this
community,
as
we
say
that
we
do
we're
welcoming
we're
inclusive,
we
need
to
do
that
by
having
equal
participation
and
allowing
a
voice
for
everyone.
Usually
it's
pretty
reasonable.
So
that's
all
that
I'm
asking
and
I
don't
want
to
stop
the
project,
but
I
also
don't
want
folks
to
come
to
me
and
for
a
real-life
example,
I
thought
I
was
going
to
have
a
conversation
about
family
focus
and
I
get
there,
and
it
is
about
Robert
crown.
Robert
crown
is
a
done
deal.
AA
It's
happening
is
moving
forward
I'm,
just
asking
that
all
of
Evanston
be
true
to
what
they
say
about
inclusion
and
equity
and
wanting
the
the
most
vulnerable
among
us.
That's
just
like
a
fun
thing
for
people
to
say
sometimes
and
there's
no
meaning
behind
it,
and
if
there's
meaning
behind
it,
we
would
have
had
some
opportunity
to
respond
to
them
about
how
this
is
going
to
financially
impact
them.
It
may
only
be
that
it's
$100
a
month
or
whatever
it
might
be.
AA
There
might
be
some
organizations
willing
to
subsidize
that
that
additional
burden,
but
at
least
respect
the
people
and
give
them
the
answers
that
they
need,
because
we're
stressed
out
the
tax
assessments
aren't
very
stressful.
The
low
wages
are
very
stressful.
The
opportunity
gap
that
the
wealth
divide
is
very
stressful,
so
the
hint
of
any
additional
financial
burden
is
stressful.
It
doesn't
matter
if
it's
ten
dollars,
many
families
are
already
in
a
deficit
and
having
to
leave
Evanston
every
day.
So
these
are
the
calls
that
I
get
as
a
5th
Ward,
Alderman
and
I.
AA
Imagine
that
you
get
different
calls
in
different
wards,
but
every
day
I'm
getting
a
call
from
someone
that
has
to
move
because
they
can't
afford
to
stay
here.
They
can't
afford
their
rent.
They
can't
afford
their
water
bill.
They
can't
afford
transportation
to
a
job.
They
can't
afford
to
move
from
a
low
wage
job
to
a
moderate
income
job
because
they
can't
afford
to
get
off
of
the
subsidies
that
they
have.
They
have
to
stay
stuck
in
oppression,
and
this
is
what
I'm
talking
about.

You
excuse

thank
you.
Mr.
Rob,
first
I
want
to
thank
the
Evanston
Kiwanis
Club,
as
well
as
the
many
students
who
showed
up
this
past
Saturday
for
the
community
cleanup.
There
are
over
60
students,
which
is
more
than
we've
had
in
the
past,
walking
around
both
the
second
and
fifth
Ward
in
West
Evanston,
helping
to
clean
up
the
neighborhood
so
just
want
to
say
thank
you
very
much
for
that.
AI
AI
Two
weeks
ago
we
asked
for
the
meeting
and
I
think
if
this
conversation
has
come
full
circle,
we
understand
where
the
mistakes
have
been
made,
but,
more
importantly,
the
need
to
listen
to
our
residents.
So
I
had
made
that
request
two
weeks
ago
and
I
still
make
it
so
I'm
making
referral
whether
to
the
city
manager
just
to
organize
it
to
where
we
are
able
to
present
all
the
wonderful
information
that
highlights
the
work
that
has
been
done.
And
if
we
can
schedule
that
in
the
next
two
to
three
weeks.
AC
We're
happy
to
do
that
again
that
I,
but
I,
just
cautioned
the
council
that
you
know
these
have
been
contentious
meetings,
not
because
of
any
reason
other
than
people
just
disagree
with
the
answers
and
democracy
and
we're
happy
to
have
people
disagree,
but
I
just
want
to
make
the
council
where
we
will
do
it
and
but
we
will
say
the
state,
the
faxes
we
have
them
and
we're
now
prepared
to
argue
every
single
point
of
fact.
If
all
the
braithwaite,
if
that's
acceptable,
we
will
certainly
move
forward
yep.
Thank.
AH
AG
Thank
you.
We
had
a
I
think
a
productive
meeting
of
the
ethics
subcommittee
earlier
this
evening.
A
number
of
community
members
were
there.
So
a
good
discussion
on
some
of
the
points
I
think
because
of
the
fact
that
the
ethics
poor
themselves
want
to
look
at
the
proposed
draft.
Before
we
send
it
on
to
Council.
There
is
likelihood
that
we
are
going
to
have
a
follow-up
meeting.
It
was
my
intention
to
get
it
to
Council
at
the
next
Rules
Committee
meeting,
but
I
guess
we'll
cross
that
bridge.
AG
So
we'll
wait,
some
feedback
from
that
the
Ethics
Board
and
see
what
that
looks
like,
and
if
we
need
to
have
another
meeting
we
will,
if
we
don't,
we
will
forward
that
to
the
council
at
the
future,
rules
can
be
meeting
in
addition
under
Braithwaite
it
I've
been
trying
to
give
a
lot
of
thought
to
you
know
how
to
you
know,
get
you
know,
information
out
on
a
more
broad
basis,
I
think,
perhaps
something
more
in
the
line
of
a
presentation,
style
type
of
meeting
or
as
opposed.
You
know.
AG
We
had
the
question-and-answer
meeting
and
unfortunately,
we
had
to
wrap
up
the
meeting
when
one
of
our
staff
members
was,
you
know,
had
for
Fannett
yelled
at
my
face
right
that
that
was
kind
of
an
unfortunate
conclusion
to
that
meeting.
But
you
know
there
there
are
more
and
more
questions
coming
up.
I
believe
that
I
feel
very
confident
that
we
have
the
answer
so
just
as
you're
kind
of
structuring.
AA
You
we
have
the
official
grand
opening
for
a
Giro
plan
at
Evanston.
This
Friday
at
2:30
p.m.
all
are
encouraged
to
attend.
We
also
have
our
board
meeting,
which
will
be
the
second
Wednesday
of
the
month.
We
will
have
on
the
agenda
the
owner
of
the
parcel
at
Emerson
and
Jackson,
where
there
was
a
proposed
development
that
owner
is
going
to
come
and
hear
us
on
what
we
would
like
to
see
at
that
at
that
and
at
that
lot,
so
all
of
them
come
and
share
your
opinions
with
the
developer.
Thank
you.
Thank.
Z
D
E
B
I
just
want
to
thank
the
Ninth
Ward
residents,
who
came
out
on
Saturday
morning
about
25
inch
people
to
talk
through
the
issues
that
were
important
to
them
and
that
affordable
housing
came
up
again
and
I
would
like
to
make
a
referral
for
city
staff
for
our
next
affordable
housing
meeting
that
they
would
bring
information
referencing.
The
long
beach
california
has
a
tenant
relocation
fund
where
developers
are
required
to
help
tennis
relocate
if
they
purchased
their
property
and
they
are
forced
out.
B
So
I
would
like
us
to
look
into
that
as
a
way
to
potentially
help
tenants.
I
also
just
want
to
find
up
on
what
I
said
earlier.
So
I
I
know
sitting
up
here.
There's
a
lot
of
things
were
required
to
or
as
to
learn
expected
to
learn
in
Robert's
Rules
Torah
has
been
one
that
I've
attempted
to
learn,
but
not
mastered
and
I
really
count
on.
You
know,
whatever
legal
staff,
we
have
there
to
keep
us
on
track
there,
even
when
things
are
moving
fast.
B
So
I
am
going
to
encourage
the
city
manager
to
make
sure
that
that
happens
at
all
times
again
want
to
thank
the
city
clerk
for
bringing
to
our
attention
when
we
have
error
and
that
light
and
then
my
second
thing
was
regarding
kind
of
this
again,
though,
that
this
is
just
an
example,
but
with
the
robber
crown
so
I
know,
many
of
you
all
have
been
up
here
for
the
nine
years
or
whatever.
That
has
been
disgusting,
and
there
are
some
of
us
who
are
new
and
have
learned
what
we've
been
told
about.
The
project.
B
I
really
count
on
city
staff
to
educate
me
I
do
a
lot
of
my
own
work,
but
I
am
relying
on
staff
to
give
me
the
full
picture
and
so
again,
given
that
perception
rules
and
people
for
whatever
reason,
true
or
not,
feel
like
they
don't
always
get
the
most
information
from
our
staff.
I'm
really
going
to
implore
us
to
make
sure
that
we
are
communicating
and
I
know
everyone
is
not
going
to
you
know
be
swayed,
but
that
we
are
communicating
the
most
accurate
information
we
can
with
our
community.
I.
B
Think
that
if
we
always
put
the
most
accurate
information
out
there,
then
even
if
people
disagree,
we
know
that
we've
done
our
part.
I
know
that,
even
in
the
last
couple
weeks,
when
I've
had
conversations
about
this,
it
has
been
like
polar
opposites.
What
the
community
understands
about
the
project
and
again
I've
been
here
three
years
when
I
got
here,
I
was
presented
with
lots
of
information
about
the
project.
B
So
if
we
can
all
really
kind
of
go
beyond
what
we
think,
maybe
is
required
to
get
information
to
people
and
answer
questions
and
just
be
very
diligent
about
that.
I'm
hopeful
that
that
was
going
to
help
with
some
of
the
community
outrage
and
again
I
think
Artemis.
Simmons
is
right.
We
have
to
show
it
here
as
well.
I've
said
here
before
and
felt
like
I've
made
comments,
and
then
you
know
my
mind:
I'm
thinking
of
mine,
The,
Twilight
Zone.
Nobody
seems
to
make
a
comment
or
understand
what
I
was
saying.
B
A
AK
AK
Deceptive
practice,
apparently
for
residents
have
been
have
reported
being
contacted
by
somebody
who
falsely
claims
to
be
sergeant,
Joe
butchers
police
and
tells
them
that
they
have
a
warrant
for
their
arrest
for
missing
a
jury,
some
summons
and
asked
them
to
give
them
$2,500
to
go
to
the
bank
and
obtain
cash.
This
is
the
caller
spoofed
with
the
caller
ID
of
the
public
phone
number
to
the
police
department.
So
anyone
receiving
this,
the
ID
that
appears
on
their
phone
is
a
legitimate
number
from
the
police
department
and
I'm
I'm
really
concerned.
AK
I
have
a
large
number
of
elderly
people
in
my
ward,
who
you
know,
might
be
contacted
and
from
someone
telling
them
they've,
you
know
they've
missed
a
jury
summons
and
that
might
seem
very,
very
real
to
them.
So,
chief
I'm
glad
you've
sent
out
this
information,
but
I
hope
that
we
can
share
this
widely
with
folks.
AI
Thank
you
so
much
as
if
I
would
not
be
able
to
sleep
tonight
if
I
first
I
want
to
wish
our
honorable
miss
Holmes
a
happy
belated
birthday.
She
celebrated
her
birthday
this
weekend
and
she
wanted
me
to
she
one
ounce
that
this
Sunday
she's,
inviting
you
all
to
attend:
Mount
Zions,
125th
anniversary
celebration
at
their
11
a.m.
service
and
there's
also
a330
services.
AI
You
may
know
Mount
Zion
is
one
of
our
oldest
black
churches
in
the
city
of
Evanston,
with
a
lot
of
history
and
commitment,
both
whatsits
parishioners
and
service,
to
our
our
community
and
then
the
other
thing
that
I
forgot
I'm
this
second
myself,
another
room
Simmons
are
hosting
our
neighborhood
meeting.
Yes,
it's
been
a
lot
going
on
this
evening,
so
that
is
going
to
be
May,
2nd
for
residents
and
people
who
are
interested
in
learning
more
about
the
air
monitoring.
AI
We
have
been
discussing
that
over
the
past
I
think
two
to
three
years,
and
now
we
have
finally
gotten
to
a
point
where
we
have.
We
have
issued
the
RFQ
and
there's
a
response,
so
we
will
have
professionals
on
hand
to
talk
about
and
demonstrate
the
equipment
that
is
going
to
be
used
to
monitor
the
equipment.
Excuse
me
monitor
the
air
quality
for
the
next
six
months
as
well,
we'll
be
giving
an
update
on
some
of
the
capital
improvements
around
the
neighborhood.
So
thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor.
For
that
sure.
