A
One
all
right,
thank
thank
you.
I
know
that
alderman
Rainey
is
out
of
town,
and
she
won't
be
here
today.
I
do
expect
the
other
two
aldermen,
all
the
member,
a
three
and
alderman
win
to
to
show
up
I,
know
they're
they're
on
their
way.
Welcome
everybody
to
the
Monday
April
30th
2018
special
meeting
of
the
Evanston
City
Council.
This
meeting
was
set
up,
as
many
people
know
a
long
time
ago
to
focus
on
the
issue:
affordable,
housing.
A
A
I
do
want
to
let
people
know
in
this
room
that
we
do
have
representatives
from
pace
and
from
CTA
here
and
I'm
going
to
give
them
a
minute
when
we
get
to
that
special
order
of
business.
To
make
a
couple
remarks
to
to
us.
So
I
just
want
to
make
you
aware,
as
people
get
up
if
you're
you're
talking
about
that,
that
there
are
folks
here
who
are
partners
of
ours
here
in
the
city
and
who
are
here
to
listen.
I
also
want
to
welcome
the
Washington
School
Girl
Scout
Troop
409
39
girls.
A
It
is
it
is,
it
is
very
exciting
to
have
you
all
here,
and
this
is
all
part
of
their
civics
curriculum
as
part
of
the
Girl
Scouts
and
so
I
think
it's
an
opportunity
for
them
to
witness
their
local
government
in
action,
but
it's
also
an
opportunity
for
all
of
us,
whether
in
the
audience
or
up
here
at
the
Dyess
to
show
what
good
government
looks
like
in
civil
discourse
looks
like
so
thank
you,
girls
for
being
here
and
let's
show
everybody.
What
a
good
civil
discourse
and
respectful
discourse
means.
A
D
Mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council
good
evening
as
I
know,
many
of
you
are
aware
we
have
been
very
fortunate
to
once
again
be
rated
as
a
four
star
sustainable
community
by
the
star
communities
organization.
We
are
fortunate
to
have
a
member
of
the
star
communities
board
a
familiar
face
here
in
Evanston
Katherine
Hurley,
our
our
former
Stanwell
programs
coordinator.
Currently
Katherine
is
a
sustainability
program
manager
at
the
Argonne
National
Laboratory,
so
Katherine
welcome
were
very
happy.
Thank.
E
You
mayor
members
of
City,
Council
city
manager,
Bob,
Choate's
and
city
clerk,
read
so
happy
to
be
here
tonight
on
behalf
of
star
communities,
I've
been
on
the
board
of
directors
for
the
past
four
years
and
was
able
to
be
here
when
Evanson
first
received
its
star
certification
as
an
early
adopter,
showing
true
leadership
in
this
program.
There
are
now
over
60
communities
that
are
certified
under
the
star
rating
system.
Evanston
is
the
first
city
in
the
nation
to
be
recertified
under
the
star
2.0
version.
E
So
in
continuous
improvement
we
want
to
make
things
you
know,
take
it
up
to
the
next
level,
and
so
the
star
2.0
made
everything
a
little
harder,
so
Evanston
being
recognized
again
as
a
four
star
community
and
recognized
for
national
excellence
and
community
sustainability
is
really
a
wonderful
accomplishment.
How
did
Evanston
get
here?
Many
of
you
know
who
are
working
tirelessly
in
all
the
areas
that
make
and
a
wonderful,
sustainable
livable
community.
But
it's
really
the
partnerships
with
community
members
community
organizations
that
helped
to
collect
the
data
needed,
because
a
lot
of
data
is
needed.
E
It's
a
data-driven
system
and
all
those
partnerships
helped
evan
to
receive
511
points
which
far
outs
out
seeded
exceeded
the
minimum
to
get
the
four
star
certification.
So
that's
fantastic
recognition
on
behalf
of
the
board
of
directors,
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
good
work
of
the
members
of
Evanston
community
of
the
city
staff
and
all
the
organizations
that
keep
putting
your
information
forward.
There
are
many
communities
that
were
waiting
in
the
queues
to
do
recertification,
so
Evanson,
showing
that
it
can
be
done
in
is
worthwhile.
D
And
mr.
Merz,
the
council
I'd
like
to
recognize
two
of
instance:
II
staff
members.
As
you
know,
with
Catherine's
departure.
We
we
needed
to
pick
up
the
baton
and
Johanna
Leonard,
who
we
have
not
seen
for
a
while,
is
completing
her
maternity
leave,
so
the
star
community's
responsibilities
now
on
our
Community
Development
departments
of
Johanna.
If
you
could
stand,
everyone
like
to
say
hello
and
see
you're
doing
well
and.
D
D
A
Announcements
great,
thank
you,
mrs.
city
manager,
city
clerk.
Do
you
have
any
announcement?
I
have
no
announcements!
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Clerk
read
all
right.
We're
going
to
move
into
the
public
comment
section
of
the
meeting.
As
everybody
knows,
we
set
aside
45
minutes.
We've
had
12
people
that
have
that
have
signed
up.
We
have
a
three-minute
limit
on
on
each
on
each
speaker
and
so
we're
less
than
the
45
minutes.
So
every
speaker
will
be
given
up
to
three
minutes.
If
you
need
it,
I
ask
that
again.
A
You
just
be
thoughtful
and
respectful
in
the
delivery
of
your
message
and
in
thinking
about
our
Girl
Scout
troops
that
are
that
are
right
here.
Looking
at
how
good
government
works
and,
and
then
one
other
thing
that
that
I
wanted
to
make
an
announcement
up,
we
are
not
going
to
allow
people
to
yield
time,
okay
to
another
speaker.
So
if
you
signed
up
to
speak,
you
need
to
either
speak
or
you
can
pass,
but
we're
not
going
to
we're
not
going
to
we're
not
going
to
do
that.
A
So
with
that,
I'll
call
off
the
first
three
speakers
and
as
usual,
when
you've
got
about
15
seconds
left,
if
you're
approaching
that
three-minute
mark
I'll
give
you
a
little
a
little
nudge
and
if
you
can
wrap
it
up,
I'd
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
Dan
Joseph
is
first
then
Jin
odd
risky,
then
sue
walla,
Bok.
F
East-West
or
north-south,
and
sometimes
it
works,
and
sometimes
the
people
who
write
it,
don't
want
it.
So
example:
paste
is
wonderful
in
changing
the
250
Dempster
bus
to
go
to
over
here
a
field,
and,
incidentally,
all
those
stops
along
the
people
right.
So
as
a
wonderful
choice,
and
it's
can
be
tired
of
the
pulse
system,
so
even
be
better
now,
the
same
thing
could
be
done
with
the
two
of
five
to
thirteen.
F
In
Cook
County
starting
over
street
idea
for
the
208
is
starting
at
Howard
station,
going
up
to
Chicago
Chicago
Avenue
to
Davis
aalverson
Church,
to
dodge
dodge
to
Emerson
golf
Old,
Orchard
and
the
courthouse.
Then
you
take
what's
Drive
five
Holocaust
Museum
is
relative
force
reserve
after
golf.
This
way,
there'll
be
service
all
day
long,
seven
days
a
week
to
Evanston
Township
High
School
from
the
South
Evanston.
F
This
is
continuously
all
day
to
the
courthouse
and
also
we
will
have
service
on
Saturday
and
Sunday
on
Chicago
Avenue,
South
Evanston,
Thursday
L,
although
it's
used,
does
not
have
any
cat
taxes.
Now
due
to
South
Boulevard
Main
Street
go
Dempster,
so
fulfills
the
need
for
people
needing
to
get
around.
That
depends
compilation,
places
in
Evanston.
F
A
And
you
made
sure
to
give
it
to
the
CTA
and
the
pace,
folks
that
are
here
right,
I
found
pace,
where's
the
scene,
all
right,
CTA,
you
want
to
raise
your
hand
and
they
alright,
there's
some
CTA
people
back
there
we'll
get
that
to
him.
Dean.
Thank
you.
Alright,
jihad,
risky
sutala
back
and
then
Olympia
Baldwin
Edwards.
G
I
just
got
an
email
text
from
my
daughter,
so
that'd
be
nice.
The
Girl
Scouts
are
here
she's
watching
this
for
the
first
time,
then
my
adult
daughter.
So
what
I'm
going
to
talk
about
when
mr.
babka
wits
came
here?
We
had
a
structural
problem
with
the
budget
and
it's
been
eight
years,
and
now
we
haven't
really
solved
that
problem,
which
is
interesting.
It
should
be
clear
to
everyone.
This
wasn't
that
we're
in
a
quite
a
big
mess
here.
G
My
rough
estimate
and
I
have
a
basically
a
little
prop
I
will
show
real
quick
is
we
have
probably
at
this
point,
wasted
25
percent
of
our
budget,
basically
property.
This
is
basically
a
twenty
five
percent
property
tax
increase
of
all
the
things
here
that
have
been
done
wrong
mistakes.
Everything
else
all
these
things
that
really
are
waste
of
money
and
I'll
leave
these
with
the
clerk
nobody's
gonna,
have
time
to
read
this
nor
in
the
three
minutes.
G
But
basically
we
have
so
many
problems
here,
I've
call
mismanagement
and
all
kinds
of
problems,
and
we
can
go
through
this
list.
We
can
talk
about
it
and
we
have
a
problem
here
with
this
kind
of
stuff
going
on
and
that's
her
term.
That's
really
why
we're
in
trouble
too?
It's
one
of
the
major
one
of
the
partial
reasons.
Why
we're
in
trouble?
G
What
I
see
tonight
with
this
priority-based
budgeting?
It
is
really
a
smokescreen.
It
is
not
real.
Basically,
you
have
a
bunch
of
items
up
there
and
no
numbers
I
could
go
through
items
and
say
what's
wrong
with
them
and
what's
right
with
them
by
the
numbers
and
if
you're
not
doing
that,
you're
wasting
time.
This
is
a
smokescreen,
basically
hide
from
the
community,
the
real
problems
and
frankly,
there
are
some
real
problems.
G
You
know
you
know.
For
a
long
time,
I
have
talked
about
the
water.
Now
they're
people
upset
about
this
water
park,
but
the
real
question
is
where
we're
getting
the
money
to
pay
for
the
water
park
that
the
council
wants,
or
if
somebody
wants,
let's
say
the
water
fund.
You
know
we
don't
even
know
how
that
works.
I've
asked
for
four
years
to
really
tell
us
how
the
water
fund
works
and
the
City
Council
cannot
do
it.
Nor
could
any
alderman
up
here
explain
where
that
money
is
going
to
come
from.
G
So
it's
very
interesting
and
we
talked
about
some
big
numbers
for
water
sales.
Well,
you
know
they're,
you
know
you
sell
things,
but
you
also
have
to
have
expenses,
and
you
all
know
that
so
some
of
you
know
that
at
least
and
you
have
to
have
capital
and
those
costs
eat
away
at
that.
So
whether
you
make
a
profit
or
not
depends
on
a
lot
of
things
and
that's
the
city
hasn't
proven
that
ever
on
any
of
this
stuff.
G
All
right,
okay,
take
a
good
look
and
it's
basically
our
friend
the
city
manager,
where
our
cash
is
going
telling
you
how
he's
going
to
solve
the
problems
here
and
budgets
are
about
numbers
and
I
used
to
do
a
cartoon
here
with
a
pig
hop
on
Z,
and
what
we
have
here
was
a
Ponzi
scheme.
People
should
understand
that,
so
all
right
I'll
take
my
15
seconds.
G
Just
one
last
point:
you
made
a
comment
about
speakers
not
giving
time
I
don't
know
if
that's
been
change
officially,
they
don't
believe
the
mayor
can
change
that
other
than
the
council.
Those
are
rules
of
the
council.
I
know,
I
was
given
a
lot
of
time.
Last
time
from
some
speakers
were
generous.
You
want
to
change
it
change
it
with
the
council
rules.
I
think
well,.
A
H
Hello,
everybody,
I'm
sue,
Lobeck,
I,
work
at
connections
for
the
homeless
and
run
a
coalition
called
joining
forces
for
affordable
housing.
We
sent
a
letter
to
all
of
you
thanking
you
for
the
work
that
you've
been
doing
and
I'd
like
to
say
you
know.
Joining
forces
is
impatient
for
more
to
happen
faster,
that's
sort
of
what
we
see
is
our
mission
being,
but
I
do
want
to
say
with
all
the
discussion
that's
been
happening,
I've
been
hearing
about.
You
know,
discussions
behind
the
scenes
that
were
not
involved
in
whenever
I
talk
with
any
of
you.
H
H
One
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
do
tonight
was
just
highlight
a
couple
of
pieces
of
research
that
joining
forces
has
done.
One
shows
that
cities
with
comprehensive
plans
that
include
affordable
housing
are
much
more
likely
to
increase
affordability
in
their
communities.
The
other
one
is
that
cities
with
affordable
housing
plans
with
strategies
for
using
the
affordable
housing
funding
that's
available
through
inclusionary
housing,
are
more
likely
to
use
those
funds
to
actually
increase
the
affordability,
as
opposed
to
using
them
for
other
programming.
H
Therefore,
I
just
want
to
reiterate
our
continued
advocacy
for
an
affordable
housing
plan
is
being
a
top
priority
of
the
council,
and
hopefully,
one
that
has
long-term
goals,
tangible
goals
and
multiple
solutions
to
the
problem.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
work
and
we
are
eagerly
watching
for
results.
Thank
you
right.
A
I
Hi,
my
name
is
Olympia
Walden
Edwards
I'm,
a
student
at
Evanston,
Township,
High,
School
and
I'm.
Speaking
on
behalf
of
myself
and
the
student
standing
behind
me
at
ETH
S,
there
are
over
a
hundred
homeless
students.
While
we
go
home
to
a
comfortable
bed,
a
warm
shower
and
a
good
dinner.
Many
of
our
fellow
classmates
don't
have
a
place
to
call
home
the
reason
for
this.
I
The
lack
of
affordable
housing
in
Evanston
30%
of
one's
income
is
considered
affordable,
but
more
often
than
not,
people
are
paying
drastically
more
than
this
and,
as
a
result
cannot
live
comfortably.
We
believe
that,
in
order
to
make
housing
in
Evanston
more
accessible,
we
need
to
decrease
how
much
housing
costs
and
increase
the
amount
of
money
that
people
make.
More
specifically,
we
need
an
affordable
housing
plan
that
eliminates
zoning,
that
creates
barriers
to
affordability,
provides
incentives
to
landlords,
to
increase
affordability
and
includes
new
strategies
for
affordability
such
as
employer
funded
housing.
I
We
are
aware
that
many
people
are
opposed
to
the
idea
of
affordable
housing
in
their
neighborhoods
because
they
believe
it
will
bring
crime
along
with
it
and
cause
the
value
of
their
property.
To
go
down,
I
would
like
to
shed
some
light
on
what
an
affordable
housing
will
actually
do.
First
and
foremost,
it
provides
the
foundation
for
people
to
build
well
being
and
to
reach
their
full
potential.
If
that
isn't
enough,
it
will
also
cause
crime
to
go
down.
I
While
the
value
of
the
surrounding
property
stays
constant,
there
is
no
reason
not
to
implement
affordable
housing.
So
why
isn't
it
being
done?
We
walked
out
for
gun
violence,
but
that
isn't
the
only
issue
we
are
concerned
and
passionate
about.
We
urge
you
to
implement
your
plans
and
to
do
so
with
efficiency,
because
this
should
be
one
of
your
top
priorities,
as
we
want
our
fellow
classmates
and
people
in
the
community
to
have
homes.
Thank
you
for
what
you
have
been
doing
so
far.
We
appreciate
it
and
are
looking
forward
to
seeing
even
more
action.
I
J
Know
this
is
gonna,
be
tonight,
it's
gonna
be
difficult:
Tim,
Russell,
fifth
Ward
Thank,
You,
mayor
Haggerty
manager,
city
manager,
Bob
Lutz,
and
the
entire
City
Council
had
some
prepared
remarks.
But
as
I'm
sitting
here
and
thinking
about
today,
I'm
gonna
go
off
of
my
prepared
remarks,
have
a
long
career
in
diversity
and
inclusion.
That's
been
my
career
trained
as
a
theologian
at
Garret
and
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
pumping
station
now
I
understand.
We
can't
go
back
in
time
and
vote
change.
J
The
way
this
process
went
and
I
will
say
that
personally
I
feel
it
was
wrong.
The
fifth
Ward
members
feel
it
was
wrong
as
well
how
it
was
done
underhanded
in
our
opinion,
but
I
want
to
read
a
quote
in
a
real
sense.
All
life
is
interrelated.
All
men
are
caught
and
an
inescapable
network
of
mutuality
tied
to
a
single
garment
of
destiny,
whatever
affects
one
directly
affects
all
indirectly.
I
could
never
be
what
I
ought
to
be
unless
you
are
who
you
ought
to
be
today.
J
I
sat
like
1718
Wheatland
where
I
live.
It
was
warm,
so
I
knew
it
was
gonna
happen.
I
was
gonna
smell,
the
stench
from
the
garbage
recycling,
whatever
we
call
it
four
or
five
blocks
up
I
knew
I
was
gonna
smell
it
and
you
know
what
I
smelled
it
and
it's
only
75
78
degrees
outside
okay
and
I
know.
When
the
pumping
station
starts
we're
gonna
have
other
issues.
We
can
talk
about
clean
water
all
of
these
things,
but
now
we
have
a
community
that
is
trapped,
that
is
plate
that
has
paint
it's
unfair.
J
The
conversation
would
have
been
had
I.
Ask
you
that,
as
we
move
forward,
we're
gonna
do
what
we
need
to
do
in
the
fifth
Ward
to
try
to
stop
it.
We
know
that
you're
not
going
to
vote
and
change.
We
get
that
we're
gonna
do
what
we
need
to
do
to
stop
it,
but
I
want
you
to
also
think
about
Morton
Grove
des
plaines
is
hiring
to
build
out
the
place.
Something
tells
me
those
communities
are
not
going
to
hire
people
that
look
like
me
from
my
community
or
from
Evanston.
J
Okay,
where's,
that
on
the
radar
where's,
the
whole
supplier
diversity
aspect
on
the
radar
for
the
council.
I
know
my
time
is
getting
up,
but
I
do
want
you
to
understand
that
we're
trapped
between
trash
to
the
east
and
we're
gonna
have
a
pumping
station
just
behind
us
only
in
the
fifth
Ward
would
this
take
place.
So
thank
you
for
the
time
and
I
hope
you
do
think
about
what
the
residents
of
fifth
Ward
what
we
need
and
our
concerns.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
K
Good
evening
my
name's
Michael
dinner
off
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
student
government,
Northwestern
I'm,
also
a
resident
of
the
fifth
Ward.
It's
been
over
three
months
since
City
Council
directly
addressed
the
topic
of
affordable
housing.
During
that
meeting,
I
spoke
about
the
three
unrelated
rule
and
its
dangers
and
unfair
effect
on
students,
their
emotions
at
the
time
to
refer
this
issue
to
the
Planning
and
Development
Committee,
and
to
take
action.
I.
Thank
the
other
people
that
have
spoken
to
me
in
the
meantime.
K
That
being
said,
there's,
but
yet
to
be
any
action
or
referral
in
any
in
the
City
Council
or
in
any
committees.
The
problems
with
three
unrelated
ordinance
have
yet
to
disappear,
and
nor,
nor
are
they
new,
the
way
that
the
zoning
ordinances
are
written
in
Evanston,
systematically
disadvantages
students,
as
well
as
many
immigrants,
other
young
people
and
low-income
individuals
in
the
city
who
don't
adhere
to
traditional
and
antiquated
conceptions
of
households.
Nevertheless,
these
people,
myself
included,
are
forced
to
band
together
to
afford
the
often
obscene
rental
costs
in
Evanston.
K
As
a
result
of
the
three
unrelated
rule,
people
living
in
these
situations
are
left
unable
to
use
the
protections
available
for
for
tenants.
They
fear
receiving
a
notice
of
eviction
on
the
door
on
their
door
directly
as
a
result
of
city
inspections
that
are
meant
to
protect
them.
The
city
already
has
ordinances
designed
to
protect
against
unhealthy
living
conditions,
excessive
noise
and
unkept
units.
We
need
to
use
these
laws,
but
the
three
unrelated
rule
is
outdated
and
out
of
touch
with
the
reality
of
this
town.
K
L
Am
Sarah
vanderwick
and
I'm
a
resident
of
the
first
Ward
as
I've
looked
at
inclusionary
housing
programs
in
other
cities
over
the
recent
months,
there's
a
glaring
difference
between
them
and
how
Evanston
operates
in
most
cities
that
have
inclusionary
housing
ordinances
use
variances
in
zoning
as
the
payback
basically
for
affordable
housing,
as
opposed
to
Evanston,
using
its
planned
developments
as
I
mean
in
planned
developments.
It
kind
of
gives
the
variances
away
and
I
just
want
to
put
on
your
radar
that,
as
you
look
at
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance-
and
you
think
about
you
know
really.
L
Are
we
committed
to
affordable
housing?
And
how
is
that
going
to
happen
that
you
also
look
at
the
plan,
development,
ordinance
and
think
about
revising
that,
so
that
the
provision
of
affordable
housing
is
a
greater
public
benefit
than,
for
instance,
let's
see
preserving
natural
vegetation,
creating
a
pleasing
environment
and
other
kind
of
vague
public
benefits
that
are
listed
in
the
plan.
Development
ordinance,
affordable
housing
is
under
most
affordable,
housing
ordinances,
the
public
benefit
and
for
the
most
important
public
benefits.
L
A
Thank
you
thank
you
Sarah,
and
what
we
also
had
alderman
Peter
Braithwaite
join
us
welcome.
Welcome
multi-member
through
it.
If
we
record
that
city
clerk-
and
we
have
all
the
council
members
that
will
be
here
tonight,
so
we
have
80
councilmembers
here,
we've
got
Virginia
up
next
to
the
misty
Wittenberg
and
then
Cecilia
Wallen.
M
Greetings
to
the
mayor
and
the
council,
members
and
the
staff.
This
is
my
first
time
speaking
before
you.
My
name
is
Virginia
Ayers
I've
been
a
resident
of
Evanston
since
1969
came
here
as
a
graduate
student
went
on
to
work
at
Evanston,
Township,
High,
School
and
retired,
as
a
department
chair
at
Evanston,
Township,
High,
School,
I
still
bleed
orange
and
blue
I'm.
Now
a
proud
member
and
a
new
member
of
the
Interfaith
action
of
Evanston
advocacy
team
advocating
for
affordable
housing
in
Evanston
I
want
to
thank
this
council
for
making
affordable
housing.
M
One
of
your
goals
and
priorities.
I've
seen
it
written
in
many
places,
I'm
pleased
to
see
it
and
I'm
hoping
to
see
lots
of
action.
I
want
to
say,
on
behalf
of
interfaith
that
we're
pleased
to
see
this
current
work
to
revise
and
strengthen
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
and
we're
hoping
that
that
committee
will
be
meeting
again
real
soon
from
my
own
experience
and
learning
from
the
experience
of
others.
I
know
how
important
it
is
for
the
people
who
work
in
Evanston
to
also
be
able
to
live
in
Evanston.
A
N
Evening,
City
Council
and
staff
mr.
Wittenberg
fifth
Ward
25:25
Church
Street,
is
in
the
Westons
open
space
district.
It
was
budgeted,
leased
and
approved
for
the
restoration
and
preservation
of
green
space
as
an
expanded
park.
The
zoning
laws
are
not
unclear
here.
The
city
cannot
legally
claim
a
municipal
use
exemption
if
it
does
not
own
the
structure.
If
the
services
the
water
services
are
not
provided
to
Evanston.
In
this
case,
they
will
not
be
I'm
for
Evanston
water
sales.
N
That's
not
what's
at
issue
here,
I'm
wondering
if
any
of
you
see
the
irony
in
the
city,
building
a
literal
profit
stream,
the
cost
of
which
you're
forcing
upon
a
history.
Berkeley
underserved,
predominantly
african-american
neighborhood
through
a
process
in
which
you
have
deprived
those
residents
of
their
civil
rights
to
due
process
for
which
the
revenue
will
be
used
in
part
to
replenish
funds
that
were
used
last
November
to
settle
a
racial
discrimination.
N
Lawsuit
I've
been
critical
about
the
city
here
and
in
other
areas,
I
have
never
publicly
or
privately
ever
disparaged
anyone's
character
or
anything
of
personal
other
than
what
is
within
their
public
duties.
I
have
limited
my
actions
to
what's
within
my
legal
rights
and
responsibilities
as
a
citizen,
the
city's
response
has
not
been
to
disclose
refuting
evidence
on
any
of
these
items.
N
It
has
not
been
to
do
their
own
investigation
or
reports
instead,
its
retaliated
against
me
and
some
frankly,
bizarre
social
media
content,
alderman
Rainey
posted
that
on
the
founding
member
of
a
hate
group
and
that
my
actions
must
be
stopped.
This
was
on
a
thread
disclosing
my
home
address
and
my
husband's
contact
information,
including
his
phone
in
his
email,
Misti.
N
Alderman
Simmons
used
her
public
official
page
to
promote
that
I'm,
a
terrorist
who
has
made
a
full
time
job
working
to
destroy
her.
The
last
person
to
engage
in
that
thread
immediately
afterwards
posted
a
picture
of
one
of
my
three
children
in
a
post
threatening
to
me.
You
guys
need
to
take
this
seriously.
You
are
supposed
to
enforce
our
rights,
not
hurt
them.
A
O
Good
evening,
this
is
also
my
first
time
I'm
Cecilia,
Wallen
and
I'm.
Addressing
the
CTA
pace.
Issue
I
need
my
glasses.
Our
family
has
lived
in
Evanston
for
18
years,
raising
our
four
sons
here.
Without
a
car
we
use
public
transit
all
the
time.
I
share
the
community's
concerns
regarding
the
impact
of
the
proposed
bus
changes
that
would
affect
the
eth
s,
families
and
students.
I'll
have
a
incoming
freshman.
Our
youngest
and
I
am
most
appreciative
of
the
city's
responsiveness
and
for
the
resolution
advocating
on
our
community's
behalf.
O
As
the
public
hearing
made
clear,
the
proposed
changes
would
also
significantly
hurt
other
constituencies.
Our
oldest
son,
who
is
24,
has
a
disability
and
I
know
firsthand
the
transit
chance
challenges.
He
and
his
peers
face
I
fault
myself
for
not
raising
these
concerns
more
publicly
and
pointedly
when
I
made
my
previous
comments
about
transit,
Tooey,
Tooey,
ths,
so
I'm
taking
the
opportunity
now,
please
consider
the
following,
as
you
work
with
pace
and
CTA,
to
modify
service
to
fully
address
the
needs
of
all
Evanston
residents.
Many
people
with
disabilities
have
no
other
transit
option.
O
A
majority
cannot
drive
and
will
never
drive
and
public
transit
is
their
only
way
of
getting
to
their
jobs,
school
health
care
shopping
and
social
activities.
It
is
fundamental
to
their
engagement
with
their
communities
generally.
It
is
easier
for
them
to
access
bus
service
than
train
service.
The
reports
assertion
that
the
Purple
Line
duplicates
205
service
fails
to
consider
the
transit
needs
of
people
with
physical
impairments
and
other
disabilities,
as
Dan
Joseph
pointed
out
and
I'm
sure.
O
People
with
disabilities
often
have
part-time
jobs
most
often
traveling,
to
work
at
times
all
times
of
the
day,
both
peak
and
off-peak
hours,
less
frequent
and
less
direct
service
places.
Additional
challenges
on
them.
I
understand
the
preference
for
a
grid
system
in
large
cities
and
for
connecting
towns
and
suburbs,
but
in
smaller
cities
like
Evanston,
it
doesn't
make
much
so
much
sense.
Having
to
transfer
for
short
with
in
town
trips,
makes
travel
more
complicated,
less
efficient
and
creates
undue
hardship.
O
Again,
someone
like
my
son,
can
do
a
bus
trip
when
it's
a
single
trip
transfers
to
difficult
people
with
disabilities
have
fewer
social
networks
and
inferior
public
transit
further
reduces
their
opportunities
for
social
interaction
within
their
communities.
So
you
all
know,
Evanston
provides
some
excellent
services
for
people
with
disabilities.
Adults
CIF
the
special
rec,
but
public
transit
options
to
get
to
these
activities
are
very
limited,
especially
weekend
and
evenings
I'm
hurrying
up
access
to
good
public
transit,
directly
impacts,
individuals
with
disabilities,
independence
and
self-determination.
O
The
lack
of
it
contributes
to
their
marginalization
in
your
discussions
with
pace
and
CTA
I
hope,
the
transit
needs
of
everyone
in
our
community
are
acknowledged
and
supported.
Much
of
what
I
said
also
applies
to
individuals
of
lower
economic
status
and
older
adults.
It
is
about
equity
and
access
for
all
members
of
our
community,
especially
those
who
sometimes
cannot
advocate
effectively
for
themselves.
Thank
you
thank.
A
P
You
recently
received
a
letter
jointly
signed
by
connections
for
the
homeless,
the
Evanston
League
of
Women
Voters,
interfaith
action
of
Evanston
and
reclaim
Evanston,
the
for
signing
organizations
commended
the
mayor
and
the
members
of
council
for
the
attention
that
the
city
of
Evanston
is
devoting
to
the
issue
of
affordable
housing.
As
representative
of
reclaim
Evanston
I
want
to
publicly
highlight
one
of
the
recommendations
made
in
that
letter
that
council
take
immediate
action
to
resume
the
meetings
of
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
subcommittee.
P
That
committee
was
formed
last
fall
and
held
its
first
meeting
back
in
January.
It
met
briefly
in
February.
It
has
now
been
almost
three
months
since
the
subcommittee
has
met
winter
is
over
spring
is
here,
the
subcommittee
and
council
needs
to
get
on
with
the
work
of
updating
and
improving
Evanston's
inclusionary
housing
ordinance.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
Q
Q
It
was
left
to
the
community
in
theory.
Maybe
we
should
keep
it.
Let's
just
keep
thinking
about
it.
Let's
keep
thinking
about
a
way
to
do
this.
It's
not
just
about
the
five
million
dollar
fund,
raising
there's
other
answers
too.
So,
let's
just
keep
thinking
about
it
and
talking
about
it.
I
know
it
sounds
like
four
people
maybe
would
vote
yes,
I
think
miss
Fisk
has
worked
harder
than
anyone
to
save
this
property,
so
maybe
she's
got
the
runaround
burn
out.
She's
tried
four,
with
Pritzker
and
with
IAD
and
our
and
with
the
Sigma
ties.
Q
So
people
are
trying
to
save
this
building.
I.
Think
if
you
give
this
a
chance,
if
you
were
to
able
to
teleport
yourself
into
the
future
and
look
back
and
see
this
place
working,
you
go
okay,
yeah.
That
was
the
right
decision.
So,
as
the
summer
goes,
I'll
wrap
this
up.
I
just
want
to
say
we're
looking
for
a
couple
more
votes
and
we
would
like
to
talk
to
you
all
a
little
bit
more
and
and
and
we
would
like
to
keep
this
going
so
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
thank
you,
Thank
You,
Patrick,
and-
and
thank
you
thank
you,
everybody
for
coming
out
and
speaking
so
thoughtfully
and
passionately
about
lots
of
issues
here
here
and
here
in
our
city.
We're
gonna
move
on
now
to
the
special
orders
of
business.
The
first
item
up
this
evening
is
the
resolution.
A
A
Some
of
the
aldermen
here
are
directly
along
that
route
and
ultimate
alderman
Winn
alderman
Fleming
has
an
alderman
Rainey,
and
so
thank
thank
you.
Everybody
for
working
so
hard
I
also
want
to
thank
county
commissioner
Larry
suffered
and
who
has
really
stepped
in,
as
well
as
our
congresswoman
jan
Schakowsky,
who,
who
sent
a
letter
to
pace
and
CTA
as
well.
So
everybody
so
everybody's
aware
I,
mean
I
think
we
all
have
the
same
objectives.
A
We
want
government
to
work
and
you
know
effectively
and
efficiently,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
serving
the
people
that
most
need
the
services
of
the
government,
so
we
certainly
respect
that
that
pace
and
CTA
want
to
make
sure
that
they
have
a
well-run
operation,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
folks,
in
our
community
who
need
the
services
that
these
buses
provide
are
being
you
know,
fairly
treated
in
this
process.
I
will
stress
this
is
a
process.
A
Our
city
staff
have
been
working
with
pace
and
CTA
city
staff
for
quite
some
time.
The
public
meeting
that
was
held
recently
was
part
of
the
process.
This
public
comment
that
has
come
into
CTA
and
pace
is
part
of
the
process.
We
want
to
make
sure
they
certainly
hear
from
us
the
community
and
again
we
have
heard
from
many
many
people
in
the
community
that
are
concerned,
and
we
should-
and
we
share
that
concern
so
the
first
thing
I'd
like
to
do
before
we
get
to
this
resolution.
A
This
resolution
is
just
to
reaffirm
you
know.
Our
commitment
up
here
is
I
would
like
to
invite
if
they
would
like
to
come
to
the
podium,
the
pace
or
CTA
I
know
Chris
canning
is
here.
Who
is
one
of
the
canoe?
Is
one
of
the
commissioners
and
Chris
Chris
is
also
the
former
mayor
of
our
neighbor
will
met
just
for
a
little
background
and
would
welcome
you
up
Chris
just
to
make
a
couple
remarks
before
we
start
the
conversation.
Thank.
R
You
for
the
opportunity
mayor
members
of
the
council,
thank
you
for
having
us
here.
As
mayor
Haggerty
pointed
out,
my
name
is
Chris
canning.
I
am
a
member
of
the
pace.
Board
of
Directors
and
I
represent
the
North
Shore
portion
of
Cook
County
I
decided
to
beginning
of
the
public
meeting
last
week
at
levy
center
and
I
went
back
and
I
checked
my
emails.
It's
a
bad
habit.
R
I
had
as
an
elected
official
as
I
keep
all
my
emails
and
so
I
look
back
and
it
was
in
July
of
2014
that
I
met
with
the
manager
mayor,
tez,
dal,
hee,
J,
Ross,
who's
here,
who's,
the
executive
director
of
pace
and
myself.
We
met
in
the
mayor's
office
and
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about.
As
the
meeting
came
to
a
close
was
mayor
tips.
Tall
said
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
buses
on
the
streets
of
Evanston,
there's
paced
buses,
there's
CTA
buses,
there's
northwestern
buses.
There
are
other
types
of
buses.
R
Maybe
we
ought
to
try
to
work
on
a
way
to
reduce
the
number
of
buses
here
on
the
streets
of
Evanston.
Well,
2016
was
to
kick
off
of
the
CTA
pace,
Northshore
planning
study
and,
as
the
mayor
said,
this
has
been
a
process
and
our
respective
staffs
will
work
with
staffs
throughout
North
Shore
region,
including
Evanston
city
staff
and
a
staff
at
ETH
s.
A
plan
was
presented.
It
was
prepared
in
what
happened
last
week
at
levy.
Center
was
a
public
meeting
and
public
meetings
are
important
to
the
process
because
we
did
receive
input.
R
There
were
97
people
at
the
meeting.
There
were
36
people
who
spoke.
There
were
28
pages
of
comments
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
said
at
the
meeting
was
that
would
we
were
tentatively
putting
it
on
the
agenda
for
the
pace
meeting
in
May
and
I
wanted
to
assure
the
City
Council,
as
well
as
everyone
in
the
evidencing
community
I've
also
expressed
this
commission
or
suffered
in
that.
The
item
will
be
on
the
May
agenda
for
presentation
of
not
only
the
plan
but
228
pages
of
comments.
Congresswoman
Schakowsky
is
letter.
R
Commissioner
suffered
ins
letter
your
resolution,
the
comments
we
received
tonight,
but
there
will
be
no
vote
whatsoever
taken
by
the
pace
board
in
May.
So
what
are
the
next
steps?
Well,
since
we
had
our
meeting,
we've
had
two
comments:
we've
collected
information,
in
fact,
TJ,
was
out
there
this
morning
doing
his
own
count
of
what
the
boardings
were
at
et.
Hs
I
think
was
a
little
bit
less
than
87.
We
didn't
know
it
was
an
early
dismissal
day,
because
staff
went
out
to
try
to
get
the
number
for
the
afternoon.
R
Boardings
and
school
had
already
been
dismissed,
so
CTA
staff
pay
staff
will
work
with
this
input
at
further
direction
from
our
boards
and
then
come
back
to
stakeholders
such
as
the
city
of
Evanston,
the
county
of
Cook,
as
well
as
et
HS,
and
see
what
can
be
done
to
address.
The
concerns
were
raised
at
a
public
meeting,
but,
as
the
mayor
pointed
out,
this
is
a
process.
Public
meetings
are
an
important
part
of
the
process.
R
We
thank
everyone
who
has
given
their
common
everyone
who
attended
the
meeting,
and
we
appreciate
this,
and
we
will
continue
to
move
forward
on
this
process.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight.
Thank
you
for
the
resolution.
It
will
be
distributed
to
the
full
board
and
be
part
of
our
packet
I.
Think.
A
S
Mike
Connolly
I'm,
the
vice
president
of
planning
for
CTA
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
and
thank
you,
council
members
forgiveness.
This
opportunity
to
address
you
I
first,
like
to
thank
the
members
of
the
Evanston
community
for
their
support
of
public
transit,
I'm,
always
heartened
to
meet
people
who
use
public
transit
and
appreciate
the
value
that
public
transit
provides
in
a
community
as
well
as
for
those
who
have
taken
their
time
to
share
their
comments
and
their
feedback
on
the
proposed
service
changes
that
were
outlined
as
part
of
the
pace.
Cta
Northshore
service
coordinator
plan.
S
We
engage
the
community
in
the
North
Shore
area
as
a
part
of
the
study
through
steering
committee
meetings,
open
houses
and
some
on
board
surveys
that
we
did.
The
goal
of
this
plan
has
always
been
to
find
ways
to
provide
service
to
our
customers,
where
it's
needed
the
most
while
providing
service
as
efficiently
as
possible.
Hearing
from
all
of
you
and
the
community
is
an
important
part
of
redefining
the
service
that
we
provide
here.
S
A
Thank
You
alderman:
when
do
you
have
a
question
for
him
or,
if
there's
another
speaker
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
for
any
questions
that
folks
have.
Let's
do
let's
go
ahead
and
do
that?
Okay?
So
that's
your
fine!
So
do
you
guys
mind
if,
in
case,
there's
questions
for
any
of
you
from
the
councilmembers?
Okay,
terrific,
then
just
sticker
stick
around
and
and
I'm
gonna
open
it
up
now
for
folks
up
to
the
dice
autumn
in
Wayne.
Yes,.
T
Thank
you
all
very
much
for
coming
tonight,
but
I
would
like
to
make
a
suggestion
for
any
future
public
comment.
I
was
at
the
Tuesday
meeting
at
4:30
in
the
afternoon,
and
I
I
have
to
say
for
to
hold
an
a
public
hearing
on
such
a
vital
service
to
the
community
on
it
on
a
weekday
afternoon
at
4:30
really
is
a
disservice
to
the
community.
I
can
guarantee
you.
T
R
U
Is
always
a
juggling
act
to
finding
the
right
time
to
have
a
public
hearing,
and
what
we
attempt
to
do
is
to
have
it
when
there
is
bus
service
available,
so
people
can
that
use
the
bus
service
can
come
to
the
hearing
and
get
home
if
the
hearing
lasts
till
6:30
they
can
get
home.
As
you
know,
most
pace
service
is
not
evening
service
so
that
that's
really
why
we
take
a
look
at
trying
to
find
a
time
that
kind
of
spreads
time
around,
so
that
we
can
get
people
home.
Then.
T
My
next
suggestion
would
be
to
have
two
to
have
one
on
a
weekday
and
then
one
on
a
weekend,
because
it's
difficult
for
people
who,
if
your
children,
ride
that
bus
to
school,
but
you
work
you
weren't,
able
to
come
and
participate
in
that
meeting
so
or
work
the
hours
that
most
people
work
you
weren't
able
to
come
and
participate.
We.
T
T
U
C
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
work
and
we
appreciate
you.
Working
with
us
in
addressing
I
would
I
would
just
like
to
say
Cecilia
Wallen.
Who
was
one
of
our
guess.
You
know
public
commenters
did
talk
about.
You
know,
individuals
that
have
you
know
functional
needs
and
and
need
that
bus
to
you
know
get
to
the
high
school
and
everything
and
hope
that
you
will
take
that
very
seriously
into
consideration.
W
A
All
in
favor
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
This
resolution
passes
25
are
18
8
to
0
by
the
City
Council
and
we'll
send
that
we'll
send
that
on
to
CTA
and
pace.
Thank
you
very
much
for
coming
out
all
right.
Next
item
up
is
SP
2,
the
affordable
housing
work
plan
updates
with
city
staff
like
to
start
this
off
city
manager.
Yes,.
D
Mr.
mayor
council,
as
we
have
done
for
the
last
few
of
these
update
meetings,
we
like
to
start
with
an
overview
of
the
work
plan
that
the
council
has
set
out.
Spanish
lemon
is
here
our
housing
policy
and
planning
analyst
until
you
have
a
brief
overview
of
where
we
are
on
very
specific
items
and
then
SB
3s
before
SB
5
are
specific
issues
that
we
ask
the
council
to
consider.
So
with
that
was
clement
good
evening.
Good.
X
So
we
will
highlight,
what's
happened
today
and
then
the
action
items
that
are
on
the
agenda
for
tonight
and
say
we'll
actually
covered
those
so
I'll
take
you
through
the
first
section,
okay,
so
activities
to
date.
As
it's
been
mentioned
tonight,
there's
been
two
iho
subcommittee
meetings.
The
meetings
were
put
on
hold
until
we
could
have
a
housing
finance
workshop,
which
has
taken
a
bit
more
time
than
we
anticipated
with
trying
to
secure
speakers
for
that
we
wanted
to
get
experts
and
people
have
busy
schedules.
X
So
it's
been
hard
to
really
nail
down
people,
but
fortunately
I
can
say
that
we
do
now
have
four
panelists
we're
going
to
do.
A
panel
presentation
it'll
be
on
May
30th
at
6:30
p.m.
here
in
the
city
council
chambers.
Our
panelists
are
Colette
English,
Dixon
she's
from
the
marshall
bennett
institute
of
real
estate
at
roosevelt
university,
and
she
will
be
the
moderator
of
the
panel.
We
also
have
Tim
client
he's
from
the
Federal
Home
Loan
Bank
and
he
will
provide
the
affordable
housing
finance.
X
And
then
we
also
have
our
landlord
rehabilitation
assistance
program
that
was
approved
by
City
Council
on
March
12th.
We
have
put
together
all
of
the
application
materials
we're
still
working
on
a
program
agreement
which
has
to
be
finalized
by
legal.
Once
that's
done,
the
program
will
be
ready
to
go
and
we
can
begin
accepting
applications
and
getting
people
into
the
program
which
we
hope
to
do
by
June,
and
then
we
also
have
the
three
unrelated
occupancy
rule
I.
Think
at
the
January
29th
meeting
we
provided
a
rooming
house
memo
and
the
memo
tonight.
X
Y
One
of
the
things
that
we
were
asked
to
do
was
create
an
intergovernmental
agreement
between
the
city
and
et
HS
to
memorialize
roles
and
responsibilities,
and
just
keep
that
program
moving
forward,
Michelle
Mason
cup
and
I,
and
some
others
have
been
working
on
creating
a
pipeline
of
properties.
We
have
four
that
we
have
identified
right
now,
so
we
think
we're
in
pretty
good
shape
for
up
to
four
years.
Y
A
Just
for
a
little
more
history
on
this,
so
when
I
in
the
fall,
all
the
memories,
Simmons
and
I
were
involved
and-
and
we
had
suggested
at
that
meeting
so
I'm
really
glad
that
sis
come
forward,
that
we
actually
need
something
written
in
paper.
So
I
think
this
is
a
smart
idea
as
well:
okay,
seeing
no
lights
all
in
favor
of
passing
resolution.
26
are
18
hi.
Z
A
Y
Well,
thank
you
very
much
for
that
and
another
update
we're
going
to
be
having
our
first
meeting
later
this
week
about
moving
the
fifth
home
to
its
site,
which
is
2005,
gray,
Avenue
and
then
that
home
will
be
finished
and
we're
almost
finalized
on
a
property
for
next
year
which
will
bring
forward
it
an
upcoming
meeting.
So
again,
thank
you
very
much
on
that.
Another
item
with
which
we
would
like
direction
and
guidance
from
the
council
is
accessory.
Dwelling
units
we've
taken
our
first
step
in
and
the
savannahs
said.
Y
The
rental
of
coach
houses
has
been
introduced
and
once
that
is
acted
on,
then
we
will
actually
do
our
amnesty
and
our
okay.
Let's
see
who
has
things
they're
renting
already
and
make
sure
they're
inspected
and
get
on
the
rental
registry
and
one
of
the
things
we
will
work
with
property
standards.
Our
goal
is
to
make
sure
that
each
accessory
dwelling-
you
know
each
coach
house
that
has
approved
through
that
for
rental.
Y
I've
spoken
to
Kyle
Smith
at
the
Metropolitan
mayor's
caucus.
He
is
the
director
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
for
that
team,
and
there
is
a
broader
interest
across
the
Chicago
metropolitan
area.
He
is
actually
working
with
AARP
to
perhaps
get
some
community
education
going
and
is
looking
forward
to
actually
working
with
us.
If
we
have
that
interest
to
which
I
think
it'd
be
great
and
our
age
friendly,
Evanston
taskforce
has
also
indicated
a
real
interest
in
being
involved
in
this.
Thank.
A
AA
Thank
you.
Thank
you
Sarah.
This
is
really
a
question
about
process.
Mr.
city
manager.
Does
this
come
to
go
to
the
plan
commission
and
then
to
P&D,
or
how
do
we
I've
got
tons
of
questions
and
I
did
read
the
AARP
report
and
thought
it
was
really
interesting,
but
obviously
this
affects
our
zoning
ordinance
and
all
sorts
of
things
it's
very
complicated.
D
Marriage,
the
council,
aldermen
Fisk,
I,
think
it's
really
up
to
the
council
to
decide
if
the
council
wishes
to
have
additional
preliminary
discussions
than
I
think
a
referral.
The
P
and
D
make
sense.
If
the
council
feels
at
this
point
that
it
should
go
to
the
Planning
Commission,
then
it
would
go
there.
So
I
think
it's
really.
If,
if
you,
if
the
council
feels
they'd
like
to
have
more
in-depth
discussion
before
it
goes
to
plan
commission,
then
I
would
encourage
PD.
If
not
like.
Ok,.
AA
So
that
that
would
be,
that
would
be
my
recommendation.
Can
I
just
say.
One
thing,
that's
slightly
off
topic
here,
but
I
think
it's
on
topic,
but
off
topic
as
part
of
our
Aging
in
Place
and
trying
to
reach
those
those
folks
who
want
to
stay
in
Evanston
and
have
not
been
able
to
do
that.
We
actually
talked
to
the
Housing
Authority
of
Cook
County
some
time
ago.
Looking
for
ways
I
think
the
mayor
was
also
invested
in
this
about
ways
that
we
could
work
together.
AA
There
is
a
proposal
now
in
my
ward
and
we
are
very
interested
in
affordable
housing
in
the
first
word.
We
have
a
lot
of
it,
but
we're
interested
in
more
but
from
the
housing
authority
of
Cook,
County
and
I
think
80
units
Erika's
at
80
units
to
the
1900
Sherman
building
that
are
not
subsidized
but
targeted
to
the
in
between
Aging
in
Place
person,
55
and
above
so
I'm
very
encouraged
about
that.
So
things
are,
things
are
happening.
AA
AA
AA
A
V
You
and
great
research
we're
not
inventing
a
wheel,
so
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
on
this
done
already.
One
thing
I
just
want
to
ensure
that
we
have,
from
my
own
perspective,
is
some
kind
of
registration,
a
certificate
of
occupancy,
for
when
the
unit
is
going
to
go
on
online,
so
to
speak,
to
ensure
that
it
is
you
know,
smoke
detectors
everything
that's
necessary
for
the
code.
I
was
to
make
sure
that
that's
the
ordinance
draft
and
yeah
I'd
like
to
I
agree
with
the
omen.
Fest
suggestion
to
go
to
planning
development
just.
A
D
A
AB
Was
just
also
going
to
echo
alderman
Fisk's
recommendation
that
had
come
to
planning
and
development
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
policy
issues
that
we
want
to
talk
about
before
we
let
planning
the
plan
Commission
get
into
sort
of
the
zoning
itty
Gritty.
So
we're
welcome
a
comprehensive
examination
of
this
subject.
W
V
W
A
Y
You
so
much
I
do
another
strategy
that
we
would
like
to
pursue,
and
would
our
seeking
counsel
direction
on
is
what
we're
calling
small
housing
for
homeownership.
One
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
about
a
great
deal
is
the
changing.
The
escalating
cost
of
housing
is
basically
pushing
out
a
lot
of
younger
families
that
are
trying
to
move
into
Evanston,
as
well
as
older
people
who
want
to
live
in
smaller
homes
and
stay
here.
So
it's
definitely
having
impact
on
our
residents
and
who
can
who
can
live
here
and
who
can
own?
Y
We
have
fairly
like
most
places
fairly
stringent
zoning.
That
is
a
set.
You
know
Euclidian
zoning,
to
accomplish
consistency
and
make
sure
that
we
have
a
healthy
and
pleasant
environment
and
all
that
good
stuff.
But
one
of
the
things
that
we
would
like
to
explore
is
a
special
use
to
take
a
lot
or
a
parcel
and
say:
how
could
we
perhaps
get
small
lot
housing
that
could
be
ownership
that
doesn't
really
fit
our
existing
zoning?
It
may
be
smaller
footprint
a
smaller
lot
size.
Y
It
may
be
a
different
configuration
one
of
the
things
you
sometimes
see
when
small
out
housing
is
developed,
is
you'll,
have
a
parcel
and
instead
of
having
all
the
homes
facing
the
street,
you'll
have
a
like
a
laneway
or
a
access
to
those
homes
and
they're.
Off
of
that
I
mean
that's
just
one
example
I'm
not
saying
that
we
would
necessarily
recommend
that,
but
we
have
some
odd
shapes
and
sizes
of
parcels
in
Evanston
and
I.
Y
Think
that
there's
an
opportunity
to
use
some
of
those
in
creative
ways,
and
we
have
some
very
interesting
projects
going
on
to
investigate
how
we
can
do
housing
more
affordably,
energy,
efficiently
and
just
smarter,
and
so
rather
than
trying
to
design
zoning.
That
gives
us
a
different
set
of
regulations
that
we
absolutely
have
to
meet.
We
would
like
to
have
the
opportunity
to
come
up
with
something
that
is
much
more
much
less,
specifically
restricted,
but
is
handled
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
So
there
is
the
opportunity
for
neighborhood
input
and
council
input.
Y
V
V
This
would
come
up
from
time
to
time
and
it
was
really
it
was
hard
to
to
say
no
to
some
things
that
seem
like
generally
pretty
good
ideas,
but
there
just
wasn't
a
legal
path
for
people
to
take
to
get
there,
and
you
also
made
an
excellent
point
about
the
difficult
spaces.
I
know
that
in
my
award
and
others,
it's
resulted
in
some
very
creative
uses
of
the
physical
léo
footprint
of
the
lots
and
such
but
also
very
interesting
structures
that
are,
you
know,
they're
nice
to
have
in
the
neighborhood.
V
So
the
creativity
I
certainly
appreciate
in
in
my
community,
and
the
other
point
is
that,
generally
speaking,
this,
the
the
trend
is
taking
down
small
houses
and
putting
up
big
houses.
So
you
don't
have
any
to
me.
There
ought
to
be
some
Evan
flow
instead
of
just
you
know,
have
an
you
know,
knock
everything
out,
so
hopefully
that
this
this
can
be
something
that
can
be
utilized
to
to
create
some
balance
in
what
is
available
throughout
the
city.
So
I
would
like
to
have
this
also
go
to
planning
development
committee
for
some
follow-up.
Okay,.
AA
So
looking
at
history
of
Evanston,
just
kind
of
figuring
out
how
we
got
here
from
there,
I
mean
we
a
hundred
years
ago,
large
homes,
large
lots,
and
if
you
look
especially
at
the
at
the
well
actually
at
all
the
wards
in
Evanston
I
mean
just
how
heaven
stand
developed
from
those
Lots
being
filled
in
smaller
houses
being
moved
off
the
lakefront
into
the
fifth
six.
Fourth
wards,
the
8th
and
9th
Ward
developing
at
Southwest
Evanston
after
the
war
of
large
large
parts
of
that
I
mean
so
we've
done
a
lot
of
this.
AA
We've
we've
been
through
a
process
of
in
filling
the
city
in
interesting
ways
when
we
were
working
on
the
northeast,
Evanston,
historic
district,
for
example.
It
was
interesting
to
me
on
Central
Street
in
this
807
hundred
bucks
ntral
street.
There
are
flag
Lots,
which
are
two
houses
facing
the
street,
but
then
a
little
walkway
going
through
and
in
the
back
there's
another
house
that
no
one
really
knew
about,
and
so
that
there
are.
There
are
a
lot
of
ways
I
think
to
do
this.
AA
I
think
the
tricky
part
is
going
to
be
how
we,
how
we
work
this
in
our
zoning
ordinance,
how
I
mean
whether
these
become
special
uses,
whether
how
we
manage
it
and
that
will
be
interesting.
Obviously,
we've
done
it
before
so
I'm,
quite
sure
that
we
can
figure
out
how
to
do
this
again,
but
we're
gonna
have
to
think
I
think
creatively
about
our
horizontal
ordinance
and
that
that's
that's
going
to
be
tough,
but
obviously
the
discussion
is
an
important
one
to
be
having
Thank.
A
G
W
A
A
AB
Yes,
I
do
have
two
items.
The
first
one
is
a
referral
to
staff
and
as
a
little
background
in
2017
northwestern
entered
into
a
Solar
Decathlon
competition
built
an
energy-efficient
home.
They
FedExed
it
to
Denver
Colorado
for
the
competition
they
FedExed
it
back
home
and
one
of-
and
it
did
very
nicely
it
was
it
really
lovely
home,
but
one
of
the
difficulties
they
experienced
while
they
were
doing
that,
is
they
didn't
know
where
they
were
going
to
put
the
house
when
it
came
back.
AB
But
luckily
a
resident,
my
ward
raised
his
hand
and
said
he'd
love
to
buy
the
house,
and
it's
going
to
be
installed
on
well
Wesley
Avenue,
pretty
soon
now,
once
he
builds
a
basement
for
it.
But
so
northwestern
is
now
in
the
very
early
stages
of
preparing
for
the
next
Solar
Decathlon,
which
is
going
to
be
in
2020,
and
they
decided
this
time
they'd
like
to
identify
the
site
first,
so
that
they
know
what
they
were
building
for
and
they
wouldn't
have
to
scramble
after
the
fact
to
look
for
a
home
for
it.
AB
And
so
the
Solar
Decathlon
folks
have
been
in
conversation
with
me
and
with
Seraph,
lacks
to
talk
about
the
possibility
of
finding
a
city-owned
site
and
we've
identified
a
potential
site.
It
would
be
big
enough
for
two
units
actually
and
possibly
with
an
Adu
which
would
give
us
another
chance
to
do
some
experimenting,
and
the
idea
is
that
we
would
put
this
in
a
land
trust
and
so
that,
eventually,
once
the
homes
were
ready
to
be
passed
on
to
their
new
homeowners,
it
would
they
would
be
permanently
affordable.
Housing
for
two
families
in
Evanston.
AB
AC
AB
C
AB
I
think
that's
all
still
to
be
decided,
but
but
it
the
whole
everything
would
be
super
energy
efficient.
That's
for
sure
it
would
be
a
learning
laboratory
for
everyone
in
the
community
to
learn
about
how
to
use
some
innovative
energy,
efficient
techniques
and
and
then
it
would
be
a
wonderful
home
for
two
to
new
families.
Thank.
V
Two
things
I
do
want
to
make
a
pitch
for
the
upcoming
and
it's
a
tentative
date,
but
the
presentation
panel
discussion
that
Miss
flax
was
talking
about
I
know
that
our
staff
has
worked
very
very
hard
and
diligently
to
line
up
that
panel
and
there
was
a
bit
of
a
challenge
just
to
get
the
right
set
of
skill
sets
that
we
want
to
hear
from
so
I'm
grateful
for
that
and
so
tentatively
from
May
30th.
But
that's
final,
okay,
it's
now
it's
set.
V
Okay,
so
mark
your
calendars,
May
30th
I
think
it's
going
to
take
place
here
in
the
council
chambers,
so
we
can
record
that
and
then
post
it
online.
The
other
point
is
earlier
in
the
conversation
we
did
have
this.
The
three
unrelated
issue
on
for
direction.
I
had
previously
made
the
reference
that
I
would
like
to
repeal
the
ordinance
I
would
just
like
to
have
that
added
to
an
agenda
and
I
would
suggest.
We
refer
that
to
the
Planning
and
Development
Committee.
V
V
A
AA
Based
on
a
meeting
that
alderman,
Ruth,
Simmons
and
I
had
with
the
public
I
know-
and
I
don't
remember-
was
that
in
February
of
waiting
to
see
what
the
impact
was
of
the
sophomores
being
required
to
live
on
campus.
So
we
anticipated
that
we
would
have
better
data
next
year
at
this
time,
and
that
would
be
something
I
think
that
that
would
inform
our
discussion
and
I
think
it
affects
aldermen
through
Simmons
and
my
ward
in
slightly
different
ways
than
it
affects
most
other
wards
and
I
I.
AA
Z
Yeah
so
I
had
another
I
guess:
question
I
made
a
referral
at
one
of
our
other,
affordable
housing
meetings
for
something
that
come
back
to
transportation
and
parking,
and
it
was
the
assessment
of
the
parking
lot
on
South
Boulevard,
just
east
of
Chicago
Avenue.
We
look
to
look
at
that
parking
lot.
That's
from
my
assessment
not
well
used
to
be
a
potential
site
for
some
affordable
housing
and
that
report
never
came
back.
Z
Back
to
yours,
your
first
so
I
understand
autumn
and
fists
your
you
know
desire
to
see
how
housing
needs
and
trends
kind
of
changing
your
in
your
ward.
However,
the
three
unrelated
is
something
we've
heard
about
a
lot
from
public
comment
and
we've
talked
about
kind
of
tossed
back
and
forth
here
and
I
know.
Z
In
my
ward,
there
are
people
who
you
know
have
space
that
they
would
like
to
you
know
either
rent
out
or
have
a
roommate
or
such
and
are
trying
to
abide
by
the
three
and
related
so
I
guess
I
I'm
not
really
clear
on
why
waiting
a
year
makes
a
difference.
If
the
thought
is
that
sophomores
gotta
move
on
campus,
and
so
maybe
you
have
less
complaints
or
less
need
for
her
I
mean
I'm,
not
sure
exactly
what
it
is,
but
I
know
that
it
does
affect.
Z
You
know
people
in
my
ward
as
well
and
they've,
been
trying
to
wait.
They've
been
trying
to
see
if
we're
going
to
move
forward
on
this.
Another
coach
house
was
one
part,
but
probably
more
of
my
worth
in
the
coach
house
is
the
ability
for
people
to
you
know
for
us
to
take
back
the
three
of
my
late
rules.
So
people
can
access
some
more
housing
here
in
the
in
the
city.
So
I
would
like
us
to
at
least
have
a
discussion
to
move
forward
I'm
concerned.
Z
AA
Alderman
Fleming
I
I
again
historically
that
it's
an
interesting
discussion
because
you
can
have
a
family
living
in
a
house
and
they
could
have
two
unrelated
people
living
in
I
mean
that's
a
lot
of
us
when
we
bought
our
houses-
and
you
know
when
my
husband
and
I
bought
our
first
house
and
he
was
in
law.
School
and
I
was
at
home
with
a
baby.
We
had
two
bedrooms
in
a
bathroom
in
our
attic.
AA
We
rented
them
out
to
students,
and
that
was
you
were
allowed
to
have
two
two
paying
guests
in
your
house
and
that's
where
the
three
unrelated
rule
came
from
was
there
could
be
a
family?
However
large,
that
family
is,
you
can
have
15
people
family
members
living
in
in
there,
but
you
couldn't
rent
out
to
more
than
three
unrelated
via
to
unrelated
people
and
so
I.
Don't
think
that
this
is
putting
anyone
at
a
disadvantage.
I
think
if
someone
wants
to
rent
out
now
that
they
can.
AA
AA
Now
we
can
have
that
discussion
that
at
P
and
D
and
all
those
folks
can
come
out
and
we
can
do
that.
But
what
we
sort
of
decided
that
night
was
there's
a
big
piece
of
this
information:
that's
not
there
and
how
it's
going
to
affect
properties
in
the
fifth
Ward
and
in
the
first
Ward.
If,
if
that
rule
has
changed
before,
we
know
how
the
properties
are
going
to
be
affected
as
far
as
developers
are
concern.
AA
AA
It's
a
big
discussion
and
the
three
unrelated
is
part
of
that,
and
I
I
just
quickly
will
share
that
along
the
twenty
twenty
one
hundred
block
of
Sherman
Avenue,
where
a
number
of
single-family
houses
have
turned
to
three
flats
right
now
there
are
nine
people
who
can
live
in
that
three
flat.
If
that
changes
to
four
there
are
a
dozen
and
people
are
concerned
about
this,
so
that
may
the
result
of
sophomores
living
on
campus
may
mean
that
houses
turned
back
into
more
affordable
housing,
housing
for
permanent
residents.
AA
I,
don't
know-
and
this
is
part
of
the
discussion-
is
that
we
simply
don't
know
and
if
we're
going
to
make
an
informed
decision,
I
think
we
need
to
have
all
the
information
that
we
can
and
I.
Don't
think
that
people
in
other
parts
of
the
city
are
necessarily
badly
impacted
at
the
moment.
If
we
stick
to
the
three
unrelated,
so
okay.
V
V
As
the
they
called
it
three
and
one
at
the
time,
but
there's
a
reference
to
that
it
being
an
issue
for
the
students
back
in
nineteen
seventy
five.
So
that
really
is
seeing
that
made
a
big
impact
on
me
today.
So
I've
felt
pretty
strongly
about
it
for
a
while,
but
just
the
idea
that
this
kind
of
has
lingered
for
over
a
quarter
century
going,
you
know
on
you
half
a
century,
I
just
think
it's
time
to
move
the
conversation
forward.
V
I
understand
almond,
Fisk
I,
understand
that
you
that
there
are
our
points
that
do
require
discussion,
but
I
really
want
to
want
to
move
this
forward
and
have
that
conversation
so
just
request
that
we
that
we
do
set
this
on
a
Planning,
Development
Committee
for
date
certain.
So
we
can
move
the
conversation
ahead.
Okay,.
AB
A
AB
I
have
an
idea
of
sort
of
a
variation
on
expanding
this
three
in
one
rule.
That
would
maybe
allow
us
to
go
forward
a
little
bit.
But
while
we
still
wait
to
gather
the
data
about
what
happens
in
those
neighborhoods
once
the
student
residence
requirement
kicks
in,
and
that
would
be
the
idea
that
we
could
expand,
consider
expanding
allowing
more
than
three
unrelated
persons
in
an
owner
occupied
dwelling
home.
So
that
would
be
a
way
for
senior
citizens,
for
example,
or
lower-income
people
who
have
a
large
home.
AB
AA
Because
what
rooming
houses
allow
you
to
do,
and
there
are
roaming
houses
in
the
first
Ward
and
what
they
allow
you
to
do
is
if
you're,
a
transient
person
or
even
a
permanent
resident,
you
can
rent
a
room
and
it's
licensed
and
it's
inspected,
and
you
get
clean
sheets
every
week
and
you
there
there's
someone
on
site
who
is
actually
taking
care
of
you.
I
mean
what
I'm
concerned
about
is,
and
it
doesn't
mean
that
that
you
know
that
should
stop.
AA
My
strong
suggestion
is
that
it
not
be
an
LLC
not
be
a
1%
or
2%
owner,
but
be
a
real
owner
of
the
property
untitled
living
in
that
property,
because
we've
seen
it
work
the
other
way
too
I
think
that's
again.
It's
part
of
the
part
of
the
discussion.
No
one
is
trying
to
keep
students
from
having
good,
clean,
safe,
affordable
housing.
It's
just.
How
do
we
do
that
and
protect
the
residential
neighborhoods
and
make
permanent
residents
feel
comfortable,
and
it's
it's
a
balancing
it,
but
we
certainly
can
do
it.
AA
I
have
not
had
one
complaint
about
the
rooming
house
on
or
inton
Avenue
in
my
ward,
not
one-
and
there
are
probably
eight
people
living
in
that
house,
along
with
the
along
with
a
live-in
owner.
So
you
can
do
this.
I
mean
there.
We
have.
We
have
a
law
on
the
books
that
you
can.
You
can
do
this
and
why
don't
developers
want
to
do
that?
My
guess
is
that
they
would
rather
not
have
to
be
licensed
and
inspected,
and
that's
not
a
good
reason
for
me.
AA
But
again
it's
it's
it's
complicated
and
our
our
purpose
really
is
to
make
sure
that
everyone
is,
is
safe
and
comfortable
and
not
paying
exorbitant
rents.
I
think
you
know
when,
when
kids
go
out
and
they
rent
a
house
and
then
suddenly
one
of
them
is
on
the
lease
and
Wow.
How
are
they
going
to
pay
for
that?
It's
it's
difficult,
and
so
we've
talked
to
Northwestern
about
perhaps
coming
up
and
again
we
covered
this
at
our
meeting
and
I'm.
AA
Sorry,
most
of
you
weren't
able
to
be
there,
but
you
know
we
talked
about
strategies
for
how
to
help
students
understand
what
the
process
is
and
what
the
what
their
legal
obligations
are
when
they
sign
leases.
So
it's
it's.
It's
an
important
growing
learning
lesson
here,
but
we're
trying
to
take
care
of
everyone.
I,
don't
want
anyone
to
think
that
we're
trying
to
prevent
anyone
from
from
from
having
good,
affordable
housing.
Okay,.
A
I
want
to
we've
got
a
motion.
We
got
a
motion
on
the
floor
that
was
seconded
I,
we're
looking
for
Alderman
Wynn,
who
stepped,
who
stepped
out
because
I
want
to
I
want
to
think
about
on
that
on
that
motion.
But
I'd
like
you
to
let's
see
here
cuz
here
comes
this
yeah.
So
can
you
restate
the
motion?
Alderman
Wilson?
Yes,.
V
V
A
A
V
That's
why
I
had
to
get.
You
know
that
the
original
reference
was
for
repeal.
So
we
could,
you
know,
hopefully
that's
what
happens,
but
if
there's
an
alternative
proposal
that
happens
all
the
time
we
work
things
up
and
they
different
they
change
and
they
evolve
so
that
it
just
has
to
be
on
the
agenda
for
something
so
and.
D
A
B
A
AB
AB
Me
just
kind
of
elaborate
little
minute
I
mean.
Obviously
we
would
continue
the
discussion
that
we've
been
engaged
in
thus
far
working
on
revisions
to
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
discussion
about
the
three
unrelated
persons
issue,
expansion
of
auxiliary
dwelling
units,
special
use
for
a
small
lot
housing
and
all
those
things
will
continue
to
work
their
way
through
the
standing
committees
and
come
to
the
council.
AB
AC
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
and
thank
you
all
in
Ravel
for
raising
the
issue.
I
guess
in
my
mind,
I'm.
We
finally
elevated
this
issue,
something
that
we've
been
wrestling
with
for
years
now
and
I
feel
like
it
has
the
attention
of
full
council
so
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
the
goal
and
I'm
not
again,
it's
just
the
general
question.
What
are
you
expecting
your
committee
to
do
that?
We're
not
asking
our
staff
to
do
in
front
of
full
council
well.
AB
Right
now,
we
have
a
set
of
action,
steps
that
the
staff
has
put
together
when
they
develop
the
white
paper
for
us
several
months
ago,
and
those
are
really
very
important
action,
steps
and
strategies
that
we're
working
on,
but
there
are
other
potentially
other
strategies
that
we
need
to
really
address.
The
full
range
of
need
needs
of
the
various
populations
in
our
community
and
that
the
the
plan
would
help
us
really
identify
just
what
those
needs
are.
AB
They
would
help
us
set
priorities
like
who's,
which
populations
are
the
ones
with
the
greatest
needs,
are
the
ones
that
we
should
worship
we'll,
be
focusing
our
attention
and
our
affordable
housing
funds,
for
example.
So
we
we
I
think
we
need
this
broader
framework
to
be
able
to
really
make
sure
that
we,
when
we
get
to
the
end
of
the
list
of
action,
steps
that
the
staff
has
put
together
for
us.
I
can't
imagine
that
we'll
be
finished
with
our
job,
and
this
plan
will
help
us
continue
to
move
forward
in
a
comprehensive
way.
A
We're
I
would
just
add
to
what
alderman
Ravel's
saying
you
know:
I
I
don't
have
a
vote,
but
I
support,
I
support.
This
suggestion
I
think
that
the
housing
homelessness
Commission
can
help
help
the
city
and
the
council
in
terms
of
how
do
we
best
want
to
how
should
we
think
about
spending
the
money
that
goes
into
the
affordable
housing
fund
right?
A
Z
So
my
thought
is:
I
I,
guess
like
autumn
and
breakaway
I'm,
I
appreciate,
but
I'm
a
little
hesitant
assent.
It's
a
committee
or
Commission
and
then
have
it
come
back
and
then
we're
prolonging
I
mean
I,
like
that.
You
said
we're
going
to
keep
going,
but
I
guess
I'm,
just
hesitant,
and
maybe
that
comes
from
all
the
conversation
about
the
downtown
Edmundston
plan
and
all
the
confusion
that
that
caused
when
people
felt
like
they
put
their
time
into
a
plan
and
they
presented
the
plan.
Z
Just
again,
I'm
very
leery
of
saying
you
bring
us
a
plan
and
have
these
folks
been
there
hard
time
on
that
and
we
potentially
could
just
table
it
and
then
years
to
come
people
Sam.
We
did
that
affordable
housing
plan.
You
did
nothing
with
it
and
maybe
I'm
just
reacting
to
the
screaming
that
we
had
over
the
last
couple
months.
But
I
would
love
an
affordable
housing
assessment,
because
what
I
think
in
my
mind
we
have
available.
Maybe
we
don't
or
what
the
need
is
I.
Z
You
know
I
hear
from
a
certain
group
of
people
about
what
they
need
is,
but
I
don't
know
that
that's
the
need
throughout
the
whole
city,
I
mean
I,
like
the
idea
of
I.
Don't
call
a
tiny
house.
Is
this
the
small
lot
housing,
but
if
I
think
about
my
ward
I,
don't
know
if
we
even
have
lots
available,
so
that
kind
of
thing
for
me
is
more
beneficial.
Z
So
how
have
other
communities
use
a
pot
of
money
they
have
for
fortable,
housing
and
I,
so
I
guess
I
would
like
them
to
go
more,
and
maybe
that's
what
they're
thinking
of
as
playing
anyway
but
again,
I'm
very
leery
of
saying,
make
a
plan
and
then
have
the
community
hear
us
say
that
and
then
we
not
stick
to
it
and
then
everyone's
mad
at
us.
If.
A
V
I
see
the
merit
in
all
those
points
and
all
in
flowing
I
think
with
regard
to
where
we're
at
right.
Now
we
do
have
and
I'm
agreeing.
We
do
have
a
number
of
action
items
that
are
being
you
know,
we're
in
the
process
of
approving
and
hopefully
approving
them
all,
and
maybe
some
of
those
can
involve.
We
also
are
working
on
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
which,
when
that
presumably
is
revised,
and
maybe
the
next
quarter,
that's
also
going
to
set
some
parameters
for
what
the
universe
of
available
tools
is
going
to
be.
V
So
maybe
at
the
moment
it's
a
good
generally
a
good
idea,
but
maybe
it's
a
little
premature
to
start
that
until
until
the
group
kind
of
has
a
better
sense
of
exactly
where
we've
ended
up
with
some
of
these
proposals,
particularly
the
funding
streams
and,
what's
going
to
be
available,
I
didn't
think
of
that
at
first,
but
in
listening
to
all
been
flowing
all
over
a
slate.
Those
those
points
came
to
mind.
So
you
know
if
there
was
a
significant
change
in
how
that's
gonna
be
structured.
V
That
would
be
relevant
and
there
are
also
some
other
things.
Not
that
we
should
wait
on
the
federal
government
for
anything
ever,
but
it
didn't
escape
our
know,
our
staffs
attention
that
HUDs
thinking
about
making
some
changes
on
the
minimum
contributions
for
for
low-income
housing
and
that
that
would
have
a
pretty
significant
impact
here
in
town
and
that
potentially
would
be
immediate
and
we
would
I,
hopefully
want
to
be
proactive
and
prepare
for
that,
so
that
we
have
some
cash
flow
available
to
cover
that
gap.
V
AB
AB
AB
Y
All
remember:
Simmons,
we've
not
completed
that.
We've
started
work
on
it
and
it's
based
on
the
numbers
that
we
have
in
the
white
paper.
It's
really
doing
an
assessment
of
how
much
what
the
what
the
gaps
are.
One
of
the
things
that
happens
is
the
data
we
use
in.
All
of
these
assessments
is
several
years
old
and
so
I
think
that
there
is
a
need
to
hear
from
the
community
as
well
about
changes
that
are
going
on,
that
we
may
not
catch
through
that
and
really
look
at
it.
Y
We
clearly
need
to
have
this
many
more
affordable
units,
but
that's
a
point
in
time
and
realistically
I
don't
think
we
will
ever
provide
for
all
the
needs
so
I,
but
we
can
certainly
do
that
as
a
framework,
but
how
we
then
move
on
from
that
is
the
next
step
and
we're
working
on
that.
But
we
don't
have
it
completed
for
you,
I'll.
W
W
We
have
a
wage
disparity
here,
so
even
if
we
did
have
more
units
with
our
average
income
here,
many
of
those
that
are
in
need
still
will
not
qualify
for
affordable
housing
based
on
whatever
ami
you're
at
so
just
so
that
all
the
other
departments
and
and
the
City
Council
is
really
thinking
about
the
total
needs
of
the
city
and
not
providing
units
that
we
still
can't
house
the
families
that
are
in
need
because
of
their
income.
So
it
we
could
look
at
like
what
units
we
need.
W
Y
I
think
staff,
either
working
by
itself
or
with
the
housing
and
homelessness
Commission
can
certainly
put
those
numbers
together,
but
then
I
do
think.
The
council
has
to
look
at
how
to
prioritize
that
and
that's
I
think
what
we
can
work
on
and
we
can
do
that
either
just
a
staff
and
bring
it
or
we
can
do
it
with
housing
and
almost
homelessness
Commission
at
your
direction.
A
A
Seeing
no
more
lights,
it
seems,
like
we've
got
some
differences
of
opinion
up
here.
What,
if
we
did
this?
What,
if
step,
we
asked
staff
to
work
and
flesh
out
what
a
you
know,
scope
of
work
would
be,
for
you
know
the
housing
and
homelessness
Commission,
because
again
we
have
a
really
valuable
citizen
Commission's
here
in
this
town
that
are
doing
and
doing
a
lot
of
work.
I
do
understand,
you
know
all
them
in
Fleming's
standpoint
I
was
on
one
of
those
Commission's
a
long
time
ago.
A
I
think
that
none
of
the
recommendations
were
taken,
and
maybe
the
issue
is
still
going
on
here.
So
I
know
that,
but
I
also
know
that
these
these
boards
and
commissions
do
a
lot
of
good
work
and
and
oftentimes
their
recommendations
are
accepted
and
the
risk
for
any
of
us
when
we're
on
leases.
Sometimes
they
go
in
a
different
direction.
That's
just
that's
just
the
way
it
is,
but
having
staff
come
back
with
a
scope
of
work
for
what
we
could
task
them
in
this
area
of
affordable
housing.
A
I
think
could
be
valuable
for
the
council
and
then
we
could
react.
We
could
react
to
that
and
then
that
might
be
easier
than
us
trying
to
piece
it
together
up
here.
That
sounds
like
a
okay
plan,
then
seeing
no
objections,
a
city
manager,
if
you
could
have
the
city
staff,
put
something
together:
scope
of
work,
okay
and
and
then
we
can
react
to
that
in
future
council
meeting,
we
begin.
D
Certainly,
mr.
mayor
members,
council,
I
think,
is
miss
lack
said.
A
lot
of
the
information
is
already
known
to
us.
I
think
we
just
need
to
put
it
in
a
proper
sequence.
My
question
for
the
council
would
be:
when
would
you
like
to
discuss
this
next?
You
had
said
the
beginning
of
the
year
you
were
looking
at
quarters.
July
has
another
one
of
these
pesky
fifth
Mondays.
If
you're
interested
in
that
otherwise
I
think
for
happening
with
the
summer
months,
maybe
just
going
for
the
third
Monday
in
July,
which
we
would
normally
have
a
meeting.
D
We
would
come
back
I
think
with
the
updates,
as
we've
had
tonight
any
further
work
that
anything
that
comes
out
of
planning
and
development.
A
couple
of
things
have
been
referred
there
plus.
Then
this
request
for
a
sort
of
a
a
proposal
of
what
a
plan
would
look
like.
So
there's
the
I
think
it's
the
15th
or
16th
of
July
is
the
third
Monday
or
to
the
16th
that
I'm
sorry
16th
of
July
or
the
30th
of
July.
Z
I
have
a
flair
for
quick
clarification
question
with
this,
given
the
staff
the
direction
well,
that
well
I,
guess
Sarah
or
modern
Marui
Simmons,
when
the
assessment
is
done
by
the
staff.
Can
we
see
that
at
some
point
I
mean
I'm
interested
in
the
assessment,
so
I
would
like
to
have
it
before
July
30th?
If
it's
finished
is
that,
are
you
saying
that
the
DA
30th
is
going
to
be
the
assessment
and
whatever
work
were
given
to
the
Commission
again.
D
D
D
I
think
is
what
has
been
mentioned.
You
know
the
needs
are
overwhelming.
The
needs
in
all
categories
and
ossification
and
all
types
are
overwhelming
and
we
will
never
have
the
resources
to
fulfill
all
those
needs
and
I
think
you
know
what
we've
been
trying
to
do
is
to
be
as
honest
and
straightforward
with
that
as
possible.
D
AC
I
guess
a
question:
Robin
Simmons
are
also
safe.
So
will
this
assessment
I'm
in
listening
to
the
conversation
I'm
hoping
it
will
include
the
stock?
So
what
is
out
there
in
terms
of
is
that
what
you're
asking
both
city
monitored
as
well
as,
what's
within
our
not-for-profit
community,
so
somewhere
there
when
we
see
this
data
it'll,
give
us
a
full
menu
of
what's
available
to
our
residents.
Is
that
what
you're.
W
Y
A
Z
X
Y
Give
you
an
update,
Paul's
Elva
Zack
has
been
taking
a
lead
on
that
and
Paul
and
I
have
been
working
both
with
the
Housing
Authority
and
looking
at
other
properties
along
that
in
that
block
to
try
to
figure
out
what
we
might
be
able
to
aggregate
and
whether
or
not
it
could
be
a
mixed-use
development.
That
goes
all
the
way
to
Chicago
or
if
we
would
be
looking
mostly
just
at
the
two
parcels
that
we
already
have.
A
Terrific,
okay,
so
anything
else
on
housing.
The
folks
want
to
talk
about
before
we
move
on
to
priority-based
budgeting,
all
right,
which
is
the
third,
which
is
the
third
important
topic
today
and
I
have
said
before,
and
other
people
up
here
have
and
I
said
in
my
State
of
the
City
address
that
well,
we
have
many
good
things
going
on
and
continue
to
have
great
things
going
on
in
the
community.
We
certainly
have
financial
challenges.
Had
a
head
of
us
and
the
city
manager
is
going
to
lead
us
through
a
process
of
priority-based
budgeting.
A
We've
started
that
process
much
earlier
in
the
year
to
talk
about
our
2019
budget
and
that's
what
we're
talking
about
we're
not
talking
about
2018.
That
budget
has
been
set
so
city
manager.
Would
you
like
to
start
off
this
conversation?
This
is
on
SP
six.
One
one
thing
just
before
then
did
I
need
to
take
a
vote
of
the
council
on
SP
2,
which
was
to
accept
in
place
on
file
the
affordable
housing
work
plan,
updates
it
had
that
for
actions
or
a
feeling.
Okay,
so
can
someone
move
that
motion
if
they're
willing
move?
W
D
Miss
remar
zoo
council
we're
here
with
an
update.
We
have
tried
to
be
diligent
in
doing
this
in
in
in
measured
steps
moving
forward.
We
were
here
a
couple
of
months
ago
with
sort
of
the
initial
ideas.
We've
done,
some
additional
work,
the
chest
acai,
our
chief
financial
officers
here
I
thought.
Maybe
a
test
could
start
us
with
just
some
overall
comments
as
to
what
we've
done
where
we're
going
in
this
lose
likens
at
the
podium.
D
AD
AE
Mayor
Haggerty,
members
of
council
clerk
read
and
city
manager,
Bob
quits,
my
name
is
Kate
Lewis
leak
and
I'm.
The
senior
management
analyst
and
I
am
here
to
present
you
an
update
on
our
priority
based
budgeting
process.
So
I'm
gonna
do
a
quick
review
of
the
measures
that
were
used
in
the
process
so
far.
AE
So
again
we
came
to
you
in
March,
March
19th,
with
an
overview
of
this
process
and
presented
the
measures
that
we
would
be
using
throughout
it.
So
we
have
since
come
up
with
the
list
of
about
152
programs
that
cover
the
wide
range
that
we
do
across
the
city,
every
department,
every
fund-
and
we
have
applied
these
first,
these
five
basic
program
attributes
to
all
of
those
programs.
AE
In
regard
to
these,
we
got
these
the
scores
on
these
measures
from
the
department
staff,
and
then
they
reviewed
by
the
lawn
finance
department
staff
for
accuracy.
The
next
set
of
measures
were
the
City
Council
goals.
So
all
six
of
the
City
Council
goals
for
2018
were
considered
here.
Programs
received
a
score
from
zero
to
four
based
on
whether
or
not
the
program
was
considered
essential
to
achieving
the
goal,
whether
it
had
an
indirect
benefit
or
whether
it
was
not
related.
AE
These
were
scored
by
an
interdepartmental
team
that
we
pulled
together.
That
was
all
the
management
analysts
or
of
someone
of
a
similar
level
from
all
departments.
So
these
are
people
who
are
familiar
with
their
departments,
entire
operations,
all
the
programs
and
services
involved,
but
we're
not
the
department
director.
We
all
got
in
a
room
for
about
four
hours.
Total
went
through
the
whole
list
to
come
up
with
a
consensus
on
how
we
were
ranking.
These
programs,
based
on
their
relation
to
city
council
goals,
to
go
in
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
equity.
AE
We
did
not
have
this
flushed
out
by
the
time
we
came
to
you,
March
19th.
This
is
a
language
we
came
up
with
in
order
to
score
equity.
As
part
of
this
process,
we
worked
with
colleagues
in
Boise
Idaho
to
get
the
the
beginnings
of
this
language,
who
are
also
doing
a
priority
based
budgeting
process
and
then
a
film
our
equity
and
empowerment
coordinator.
It
tweaked
to
this
a
little
bit
and
was
also
in
the
room
for
the
interdepartmental
team.
AE
She
was
part
of
that
group
to
help
us
go
through
the
ranking
on
this
measure,
so
the
outcome
of
this
process
has
been
a
ranked
list
of
152
programs,
and
these
were
included
in
the
packet
for
tonight's
meeting.
We
took
out
the
top
half
about
seventy-five
programs.
These
are
programs
that
are
mostly
we're
required
to
provide
them
either
by
the
state
or
the
federal
government.
Many
of
them
have
a
high
cost
recovery.
They
meet
a
number
of
City
Council
goals
and
we're
setting
them
aside.
AE
Those
not
required
ones
got
us
to
a
list
of
54
programs,
and
these
are
what
we
would
really
like
to
move
forward
with
in
the
process.
So
these
are
programs
that
are
not
required.
They
were
on
the
bottom
half
of
our
staffs
ranked
list,
and
we
would
like
to
bring
these
to
the
public
in
terms
of
asking
how
we
could
consider
changes
and
how
the
services
being
provided.
So
that
is
that
list,
and
it's
pretty
small
up
here
but
again
it
is
contained
in
the
memo.
That's
in
the
packet
in
a
little
bit
larger
font.
AE
So
the
next
steps
that
we
are
looking
at
so
with
that
list
of
54
programs,
we've
put
together
a
survey
that
will
be
we'll
be
taking
to
the
residents
we've.
We
will
include
this
list
of
all
54
programs.
In
addition
with
a
description
of
the
programs,
so
have
a
bit
better
understanding
of
what
these
things
are,
that
we're
doing
on
a
daily
basis
in
the
city
will
ask
residents
to
choose
the
ten
services
that
they
consider
most
important,
that
the
city
continued
to
provide
and
ten
for
the
city.
AE
Consider
for
a
reduction
for
elimination
or
for
changes.
We'll
also
have
a
few
open-ended
questions
on
the
survey
so
looking
for
residents
to
be
able
to
have
an
opportunity
to
name
their
top
three
priorities
for
the
city
and
three
areas
where
they
believe
the
city
can
find
some
savings
for
the
upcoming
budget
and
then
any
additional
ideas.
Of
course,
we'll
have
some
open-ended
space
again
to
just
get
any
other
ideas
that
residents
may
have
about
our
upcoming
budget,
and
then
we
will
also.
AE
AE
So
that's
three
weeks
that
residents
can
get
onto
the
website,
we'll
promote
it
on
our
Twitter
and
Facebook,
etc,
and
and
give
us
their
input
in
that
way,
we'll
also
make
sure
their
printed
copies
at
the
community,
centers
and
library,
so
on
responses
will
be
accepted
through
the
3-1-1
Center
and
then
we'll
be
holding
an
in-person
open
house
on
May
24th
from
3
to
8
p.m.
there
were
another
meeting
or
two
on
the
agenda
that
evening.
AE
AE
Was
10
people
I
believe
it
was?
Are
myself
ashley
king
for
the
city,
manager's
office,
morgan
hernandez,
also,
say
manager's
office
I
from
the
health
department,
mario
from
the
law
department,
lar
Biggs
from
Public
Works
Jim
Hurley
from
Community
Development
Luger
gets
from
police
and
microwaving
from
fire
and.
AE
D
AE
Yep
absolutely
and
we've
also,
we
just
made
today
page
specifically
under
the
budgets
website
for
priority-based
budgeting,
so
they're
links
on
there
and
we've
linked
it
to
our
open
data
site.
So
we
have
put
the
whole
spreadsheet
all
of
these
onto
our
open
data
site
for
those
who
have
access
that
resource
before.
T
This
is
just
a
sort
of
mechanical,
quite
well
mechanical
question.
With
respect
to
the
survey.
Do
you
do
we
run?
Do
we
test
out
the
surveys
beforehand
to
see
how
they
operate,
because
at
my
ward
meeting
last
Thursday
people
who
were
taking
the
streetlight
survey
and
pointed
out
that
it
was
it
was
set
up
in
such
a
way
that
one
person
only
one
person
could
take?
You
could
only
take
the
survey
once
and
but
in
order
to
and
I'm
not
sure
that
your
survey
will
have
this.
T
AE
Absolutely
absolutely
it's
a
pretty
simple
survey,
this
one's
on
Survey
Monkey.
So
there
shouldn't
be
any
you
know,
blacking
out
or
anything
on
this
one
but
we'd
be
happy
to,
but
I
do
I.
T
Do
think
it's
important
for
if
we
can
put
information
into
the
material
before
people
take
the
survey
explaining
that
once
they've
opened
it
if
it's
on
Survey
Monkey
they're
committed,
there
is
no
backing
out
there
that
this
is
the
time
that
they
they
must
complete
it.
That's
their
only
opportunity,
so
I
think
it's
important
for
people
to
understand
that
just
don't
open
it
thinking.
Oh
I've
got
a
couple
minutes
here
and
and
I'll
finish
it
later,
because
you
can't
okay,
yes,.
C
AC
D
AC
AA
AA
AA
D
Lewis
Lincoln
said
that's.
The
next
piece
of
this
is
that
there
will
be
information
and
costs,
because
I
think
the
cost
of
providing
the
service
is
an
issue.
You
know,
speaking
to
the
mandated,
provide
service,
it's
a
one
through
four
ranking,
and
so
you
know,
perhaps
we
could
eliminate
those
that
were
for
or
I'm
not
sure
that
there
are
any
the
rank
for.
But
if
it's
less
than
four,
then
that
mandate
is
not
necessarily
us
right.
R
D
D
To
do
is
we're
trying
to
identify,
you
know,
places
where
perhaps
we
could
make
reductions
and
we
want
to
inform
the
community
on
these
various
points.
But
we
also
don't
want
to
make
the
list
so
small
that
we
come
to
the
end
of
the
process
and
then
nothing
can
be
rated.
So
we're
trying
to
there's
a
balance
there.
AA
D
You're
looking
at
the
full
list,
it
starts
on
page
120
yeah.
That's
not
the
list
we're
using
so
we're,
basically
using
the
last
half
of
that
list.
So
long,
okay,
we're
using
the
list
on
115.
That
does
not
have
all
the
rankings
next
to
it.
But
if
you
look
at
the
categories,
as
you
look
further
in
with
the
full
rankings,
I
mean
with.
D
Certainly
what
we
can
do
is
is
look
at
the
fours
as
you
go
further
down
on
the
very
last
page
I
see
it
looks
like
one
for
as
far
as
as
far
as
fleet
maintenance,
and
that's
the
only
four
on
the
last
page,
so
we're
happy
to
go
back
there
again.
Our
bottom
line
is
to
try
to
come
up
with
a
list,
that's
reasonable
and
that
that
will
get
community
feedback.
That's
reasonable.
If
we
go
through
this
and
nothing
can
be
cut,
then
we
have.
D
AA
AA
AC
P
D
We've
tried
to
do
this
evening
is
make
this
as
as
manageable
as
possible.
We
did
not
want
to
include
too
many
small
type,
I
graphs
for
you.
You
know
we're
happy
again.
We
provide
the
spreadsheet,
as
is
so.
You
can
mix
and
match
members
the
community
can
mix
and
match,
but
but
the
list
that's
on
115.
It
meets
the
criteria.
The
missile.
AC
Is
like
Ken
described
so
I
remember:
I
was
with
the
mayor
over
the
weekend
and
I
asked
specifically,
for
example,
the
Summer
Food
Program
for
child
nutrition.
I
thought
that
we
receive
either
federal
or
state
dollars
for
that
program.
I
didn't
think
I
could
be
wrong
that
those
the
funding
for
that
was
from
taxpayer
dollars
and
I
incorrect
or
no.
AE
AC
AC
I
can't
speak
for
everyone
else,
but
I
received
a
couple
of
phone
calls
over
the
weekend
where
there
were
people
that
were
actually
concerned
and
scared
that
we're
gonna
lose
and
if
that's
part
of
the
whole
exercise
to
wake
up
the
town,
then
I
get
it
but
I
think
if
we
can
be
responsible
with
the
programs
that
we
know
that
we're
going
to
keep
that
we
know
we
receive
federal
or
state
funding.
I
think
it's
important
to
either
segregate
those
or
just
completely
move
them
from
the
list
is
my
thought
and.
D
Alma
Braithwaite
I
think
is
Miss
Luce
lakyn
mentioned
you
know.
Some
of
these
do
get
funding
from
other
sources,
but
they
do
not
cover
the
total
amount
and-
and
there
is
nothing
that
says
that
we
have
to
provide,
for
example,
the
Summer
Food
Program,
a
nonprofit
organization
could
do
that
another
government
agency.
So
you
could
do
that.
Certainly
it's
not
something
that
every
community
around
us
provides.
We
do
it
because
it's
been
a
community
standard
and
a
community
value,
and
if
that
continues
to
be
a
community
standard
community
value,
we'll
continue
to
do
that.
D
But,
as
you
look
through
this
list,
I
think
we're
going
to
be
hard-pressed
to
find
anyone
that
says
anything
on
this
list
is
fluff
or
is
something
that
is
not
serving
a
constituency
of
the
city
and
so
takes
us
kind
of
back
to
the
beginning
of
the
discussion,
which
is
if
everything
is
important,
and
if
there's
not
a
willingness
to
raise
taxes
and
fees
and
our
expenses
continue
to
rise.
Then
how
do
we
grapple
with
that
and
that's
why
we're
trying
to
start
as
early
as
possible?
Z
You
so
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
with
this
and
I.
You
know
I
appreciate
that
we're
using
some
kind
of
system
to
get
where
we
need
to
go
with
our
budget.
I
echo
what
autumn
I
briefly
said
about
programs
that
are
funded
separately,
so
that
was
good
to
hear,
because
I
also
picked
up
on
the
certificate
of
rehab
program,
which
I
believe
comes
out
of
CDBG,
which
is
one
that's
listed,
as
you
know,
having
low
cost
recovery
according
to
our
document
here.
Z
So
you
know,
I
have
those
same
concerns
about
those
type
of
programs,
I
also
I,
guess
just
to
mention
a
couple
more
on
here.
So
I
see
Community,
Services
and
youth
engagement
listed
here,
which
concerns
me
because
we
I
think
we
might
maybe
all
agree
that
that
department
serves
a
population
of
students
and
people
that
we
want
to
keep
engaged
here
in
the
community
and
try
to
keep
on
the
right
path.
Z
Anyway,
then
I
will
have
time
to
go
through
all
of
them,
but
those
were
some
that
I
was
surprised
were
on
the
list.
My
other
concern,
I,
guess
and
I
vocalizes.
The
city
staff
was
that,
while
I
appreciate
you
know
the
scoring
I
always
am
concerned
when
things
are
scored
with.
No,
you
know
very
objective
matrix,
so
I
understand
that
you
had
a
diverse
group
of
people
kind
of
working
through
this.
Z
However,
when
we
look
at
things
like
change
in
demand
for
service
I
hope
and
that
because
I
didn't
get
the
information,
maybe
I'm
speaking
out
of
line,
but
I
would
hope
that
there
were
numbers
looked
at
for
each
program
to
decide
if
we
had
a
change
in
service
I'm.
The
same
thing
with
the
portion
of
community
served.
Z
So,
whenever
we
are
using
a
matrix
again,
maybe
I
wasn't
in
the
four-hour
meeting,
so
I
don't
have
it,
but
I
would
hope
that
there
was
some
actual
data
given
are
provided
by
the
different
department
so
that
we
knew
that
these
scores
are
actually
based
on
what
we
see
happening
in
the
city
and
not
what
the
individual
staff
members
assessment
is
from
their
seat
and
I
talked
to
dr.
Keith
frame
about
this.
Also
in
terms
of
the
equity
piece.
I
do
appreciate
that
we
are
starting
this,
so
we
went
somewhere
with
this.
Z
You
know
this
this
assessment
the
same
way
right.
How
is
this
measured?
So
are
we
looking
at
who
programs
currently
serve
to
know
if
they
are,
you
know
where
they
fall
between
the
zero
and
the
four
or
am
I
making
that
assumption
as
a
staff
member
I
am
NOT
personally
very
excited
by
who
we
have
as
historically
underrepresented
populations.
That,
to
me,
is
everyone,
but
white
men,
which
is
which
is
fine
but
I.
Think
when
I
just
have
a
John
here
am
I
talking
about
young
people.
Z
When
I
talk
about
older
people,
immigrant
status,
we
probably
don't
necessarily
have
you
know,
data
on
that
language
and
or
socio-economic
are
very
different.
So
there's
just
some
I
think
I
like
that.
It's
a
start,
I'm
a
little
concerned
that
it's,
what
we're
using
through
and
through,
because
we're
talking
about
cutting
services,
potentially
cutting
jobs
and,
if
we're
not
very
clear,
particularly
on
the
equity
and
the
who
it
serves.
So
this
portion
of
community
serves
which
to
me
as
an
equity
question.
Z
Also
we
potentially
look
at
cutting
services
for
folks
who
might
not
come
to
community
meetings
might
not
do
the
survey.
You
know
we
might
not
ever
hear
from
until
we
cut
their
service,
so
I
just
I
would
hope
that
as
staff
that's
going
through
this
and
as
we're
going
through
this,
and
even
as
you
go
out
to
the
community.
That,
aside
from
the
numbers
part,
that's
given
that
there
is
some
more
information.
Z
If
we're
asking
people
to
rank
things,
I'm
a
little
bit
fearful
that
we're
going
to
get
a
lot
of
very
loud
people
who
are
concerned
about
a
very
small
topic,
because
they
have
the
time
and
the
interest
in
advocating,
and
so
we're
I
hear
a
lot
about
trees
and
all
those
things
we
just
heard
about
in
the
last
budget,
but
maybe
not
here
from
autumn
everyth
ways
folks
who
are
calling
about
having
their
kids
fed
in
the
summer.
So
I
like
that,
we
are
starting
early
I
like
that.
We
are
trying
to
use
a
matrix.
Z
I
would
like
to
see
a
more
developed
matrix.
I
would
encourage
you
also,
as
you
have
time,
I
would
love
to
have
you
at
my
ward
meeting,
because
I
know
I'll
get
about
thirty
folks
there
who
might
not
come
here
on
the
28th
or
what
every
day
we're
doing
open.
I
was
no
matter
how
much
I
encourage
them
to
do
that
so
I.
So
I
do
applause.
You
know
the
city
manager
and
the
staff
for
starting
early
I.
Think
last
year,
for
me
was
a
little
bit
of
a
disaster
but
I.
Z
AA
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I'd
like
to
extend
the
time
period.
My
next
board
meeting
is
the
first
Tuesday
in
June
and
I.
Think
you
mentioned
that
this
period
ends.
What
may
31st
may.
AA
AA
D
D
We
we
were
looking
at
Thursday,
so
why
don't
we
just
go
ahead
for
Bullock's
down
to
Thursday
June
the
7th
I
have
to
come
back
to
the
council.
I
think
it
was
on
the
third
Monday
in
June
on
the
18th,
so
that
will
be
I
think
it
was
an
idea
and
again
what
we
will
come
back
with
really
is.
Is
it
is
data
I
mean
we
will?
D
We
will
not
make
any
conclusions,
will
not
make
any
decisions,
but
really
just
to
share
with
you
what
we've
discovered
and
then
to
try
to
get
some
additional
direction
from
you
as
we
move
forward.
You
know
the
goal
will
be
as
always
to
have
a
budget
for
you,
the
second
week
in
October
and
so
whatever
feedback
we
get.
You
know
through
the
middle
of
latter
part
of
June.
We
will
then
they
have
the
entire
summer
to
work
on
refine
and
also
I.
D
Think
really
ask
the
council
if
we
end
this
process
with
a
relatively
small
list
of
reductions
than
what
else
you
know.
Where
else
would
you
like
this
to
go
we'll
be
negotiating
with
our
labor
groups
so
that
certainly
our
costs
associated
with
the
labor
contracts
come
in
to
all
that,
but
I
think
we're
again
trying
to
get
as
much
of
a
head
start
on
us.
I'm.
AA
D
5060
yeah,
it's
it's
probably
a
quarter,
ok
budget,
because
if
you
figure
the
police
and
fires
and
I
think
largely
non-represented,
that's
over
fifty
percent
of
the
budget
right
there
of
the
general
fund
budget.
So
again,
one
of
those
challenges
of
this
process
you
know
is
to
is
to
look
at
those
things
that
are
not
required.
I
mean
we'll.
We
need
to
ultimately
depending
on
this,
where
this
comes
out.
Look
at
police
and
fire.
D
Absolutely
I
think
this
will
likely
be
the
first
budget
that
I
will
present
to
you
that
will
likely
have
reductions
in
police
and
fire,
because
we
will
not
be
able
to
make
any
kind
of
significant
dent
in
our
operating
costs
and
not
raise
revenues
without
looking
at
our
costs
associated
with
police
and
fire,
and
then
I
becomes
the
question
you
know
what
are
the
impacts
of
that,
and
so
we
will
spend
much
of
the
fall.
My
guests
talking
about
that
as
well.
As
you
said,
all
the
benefits.
D
T
Thank
you.
Could
we
have
a
memo
from
dr.
fvm
about
how
the
equity
lens
was
used
and
maybe
flush
out
a
little
bit
I'm
on
the
equity
and
empowerment
commission?
So
if
we
could
just
have
maybe
a
little
bit
of
a
memo
from
dr.
FDM,
just
explaining
how
how
that
equity
lens
was
used
in
this
process,
I
think
that
would
be
very
helpful.
Thank
you.
AC
Thank
You
vice
mayor
and
I
guess
if
we
could
again
not
to
slow
the
process
but
just
to
make
sure
we're
getting
good
information
I.
Looking
through
this
I
can't
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
information
just
mixed
in
there's
some
capital
there's
some
programming.
My
one
first
request
would
be
to
sort
it
by
whatever
I
mean
I
can
throw
out
capital
projects,
citywide
programs
and
there's
some
special
things
in
here
that
sort
of
impact
our
most
vulnerable
people
are
seniors,
victims,
services,
etc.
AC
AC
H
A
A
B
Might
make
a
quick
announcement
for
all
the
council
members
and
folks
who
are
on
boards
and
commissions
in
the
city
just
reminder
that
tomorrow
is
the
deadline
for
turning
in
financial
scores
or
an
affiliation
statements?
You
can
come
into
the
clerk's
office
throughout
the
date.
We
have
a
notary
on
hand
and
if
not,
if
they're,
not
in
the
office,
we
have
someone
in
the
building
who
can
help
you
so
just
stop
in
tomorrow.
At
some
point,.
A
A
W
Thank
you,
a
very
special
thank
you
to
rebuilding
Together
and
about
400
other
volunteers
that
renovated
several
homes
here
in
town,
including
four
in
the
fourth
ward,
mostly
to
seniors
and
a
very
special
organization
in
town,
boys,
hope,
girls,
hope
and
another.
Thank
you
to
the
Rotary
Club
of
Evanston,
who
will
be
planting
25
trees
at
Twiggs
Park
in
the
fifth
Ward
on
this
coming.
Saturday
all
are
welcome
to
join
in
and
participate
and
or
just
watch.
Thank
you
thank.
AF
Like
to
make
a
referral
and
request
to
administration,
Public
Works
I'd
like
to
request
the
parking
division
manager
to
provide
a
list
and
map
of
all
restricted
parking
zones,
including
the
capacity
of
the
zone.
The
number
of
permits
issued
the
type
of
restriction
and
the
date
established
I'd
like
to
have
a
discussion
about
setting
up
a
protocol
where
we
review
these
on
a
periodic
basis.
All
the
zones
in
the
entire
city
for
the.
AF
V
AG
AF
V
V
AF
V
V
A
AA
So
my
understanding
is
that
these
districts
were
created
by
ordinance
and
the
thing
can
be
amended
by
ordinance.
The
a
district
which
is
a
huge
district
in
my
ward
has
recently
had
some
changes,
but
my
understanding
was
that
Jill
was
looking
at
bringing
into
compliance
the
district
boundaries
with
addresses
in
them,
because
we've
had
some
instances
where
people
in
my
ward
who
are
used
to
getting
permits
were
not
allowed
to
get
permits
this
year.
So
I
think
she's
she's
doing
some
active
work
on
that
I.
Just
don't
want
to
I'm.
A
My
only
my
concern
is
again
I'm
always
concerned
about
the
amount
of
work
that
we're
placing
on
our
city
staff,
we're
going
through
a
priority
based
budgeting,
we're
going
through
lots
of
other
things
right
now,
right
now
and
so
I'd
be
very
interested.
Is
this
just
a
you
know
one
day
exercise
or
is
this?
You
know
a
100
hour
exercise
to
get
all
this
information
together.
So
perhaps
we
can
talk
about
that
later,
but
let's
go
call
them
in
Bay
3
and
then
we'll
get
all
maybe.
AC
This
will
help
us
move
forward
and
I.
Don't
think
we
have
to
flush
it
out
tonight,
but
my
recommendation
all
haven't
suffered
and
you
know
I
always
like
to
start
with.
What
problem
are
we
trying
to
solve?
And
maybe,
when
you
sit
with
staff,
you
can
provide
the
focus
because
I'm
thinking
you
know,
I,
my
priority
is
in
the
parking
in
the
Ninth
Ward
I
have
enough
on
my
plate
to
worry
in
the
second.
AF
Happy
to
do
just
a
six
word,
but
I
think
it's
a
citywide
issue
and
what
I'm
telling
you
is
the
permits
for
this
year
have
been
issued
right
there
spreadsheets
saying
here
all
the
permits
for
this
zone
this
on
this
zone.
It's
not
creating
you
work,
the
spreadsheets
exist,
I
just
want
them
all
gathered
in
one
place,
so
we
can
have
a
discussion.
That's
all
vasin,
for
any
creation
of
new
work.
The
work
has
been
done.
The
information
exists,
I
want
it
all
collating
put
together.
So
we
have
a
discussion.
Administration
public
works
about
it.
AC
AF
AC
V
Well,
a
couple
things
you
know:
I
I
have
the
impression
that
you're
trying
to
address
like
one
or
two
blocks
in
your
ward
but
I
know
when
people
hear
about
this.
Oh
one
of
the
aldermen
is
requesting
all
the
information
for
every
open
up.
It's
gonna
make
everybody
in
the
entire
city
who
is
lives
in
one
of
those
districts-
bananas?
Oh,
my
god,
they're
gonna
undo
my
parking
stuff,
so
I
saw
its
I
think.
Is
it.
V
You're
saying
you're
looking
for
all
of
the
information,
but
it's
not
clear
to
me
information
about
what.
So.
Let
me
just
ask
a
couple
questions.
So
I
can
understand
what
you're
asking
for
so
are
you
asking
only
for
districts
where
people
are
buying
resident
permits?
Yes,
only
that
that's
so
you're
not
asking
for.
If
there's
a
two-hour
restriction
for
Evanston
residents
only
in
the
morning,
you're
not
asking
for
that.
No
I'm.
AF
Fine
with
Evanson
resident
parking
places
where
you
get
you
an
Evanston
resident
who
is
not
in
that
zone
cannot
park.
That's
right,
I
want
a
list
of
the
restrictions
right.
Some
of
them
are
restricted
all
day.
Some
are
non-residents
are
limited
to
two
hours.
Residents
with
a
particular
designation
can
stay
all
day,
so.
AF
AF
V
AF
V
AF
V
Can
have
that
discussion
I
think
that
that
would
be
a
horrifying
thing
to
do
to
people
like
every
five
years
you
have
to
because
the
process
is
expensive
and
it's
very
labor
intensive
for
both
the
staff
and
the
individuals
and
just
to
put
people
yeah
I
people
would
probably
move
I
mean
like
if
you're
gonna
think
like
I'm
gonna
have
to
like
you
know,
fight
over
whether
we
can
park
or
not
every
five
years.
That's
not
gonna
feel
good
to
people
so
I.
V
AF
AF
T
It
doesn't
matter
this
is
that's
the
firt,
the
place
of
First
Instance
that
any
parking
issue
comes
to
at
the
at
the
council.
We
have
economic
development,
that's
not
an
alderman,
only
a
committee,
but
all
of
that
stuff
eventually
comes
to
to
the
City
Council.
So
that's
that's
number
one,
but
number
two
is
so
it's
I,
don't
think
it
should
go
to
a
npw.
T
It
should
go
to
transportation
and
parking
and
I
completely
agree
with
alderman
Wilson
and
aldrin
Braithwaite
I
mean
even
last
Wednesday,
despite
the
fact
that
you
had
written
to
your
constituents
and
told
them
that
there
would
be
no
action,
we
had
or
10
or
15
people
at
transportation
of
parking
because
they
are,
they
want
to
be
there.
They
want
to
be
there
so
I'm
there.
There
are
maps
of
the
city,
I've
seen
the
maps
of
the
city
every
time
that
we
have
a
an
issue.
T
We've
seen
maps
so
and
I
also
don't
understand
what
capacity
is
because,
as
I
said,
I
live
in
Zone
C.
So
that
means
that
it's
open
parking
for
anybody
who
wants
to
come
all
day
long
on
one
side
of
the
street.
On
the
other
side
of
the
street,
it's
called
resident
to
our
exemption,
so
people
with
us
ste
see
sticker
can
park
there
as
long
as
they
want
people
without
a
C
sticker
can
only
park
there
for
two
hours
so
and
that's
a
very
common
designation
throughout
Evanston.
So
what?
T
But
there
is
no
number
on
what's
the
capacity
of
the
street,
because
currently
we've
owned
one
car
we've
owned
three
cars.
Currently
there
are
only
two
cars
at
my
house,
but
we've
had
stickers
for
all
three
at
different
times,
but
there
was
never
a
restriction
on
how
many
stickers
I
could
get
resident
stickers.
I
could
get
it
wasn't
governed
by
the
size
of
my
street
right.
AF
AG
T
AF
And
now
it's
exclusively
of
the
sixth
Ward
down
the
fourth
ward,
but
I
will
say
when
the
zone
is
created.
There
is
a
measurement
of
percentage
of
capacity.
That's
the
total
amount
of
cars
and
park
on
the
street.
It's
a
known
number.
Seventy
percent
of
that
capacity
is
what
is
used
to
determine
eligibility
for
the
zone.
Aldermen.
AF
T
V
AF
Okay,
so
when
when
they
were
determining
in
capacity
right
there's
a
formula
they
must
use,
a
certain
length
is
how
long
a
vehicle
is,
and
maybe
that's
changed
with
time.
I
don't
know.
I
would
leave
that
the
jovian
to
figure
out
formula
they
use
when
they
determine
and
then
maybe
there's
a
new
driveway.
Maybe
there's
a
new
curb
cut,
maybe
there's
a
new
fire
hydrant,
but.
T
AF
A
E
A
Yours,
okay,
all
right,
so
here's,
here's,
here's
the
thing,
I
think
general,
it
generally
generally
speaking
right,
I!
Think
if
a
staff
put
something
forward
or
adult
excuse
me
an
alderman
put
something
forward.
You
know,
there's
generally
not
an
objection
and
everything
else.
Obviously,
we've
had
a
heated
conversation
tonight
on
just
this
call
the
wards
and
what
alderman
suffered
and
has
put
forward.
A
Z
Z
Guess
I
was
getting
to
where
you
are
mayor,
which
is
I
a
cipher,
maybe
just
alderman
suffering
cleaning
up
his
technicality.
If
staff
has
a
question
and
they
call
them
I'm,
I
guess
I'm
I'm
puzzled,
that
we
are
having
a
huge
debate
about
an
automatic
motion
right
I
feel,
like
other
alter
my
make
motions
that
I,
don't
necessarily
agree
with
or
I
think
are
beneficial
but
I,
don't
say
particular
form
the
daya's.
You
know
you
shouldn't
make
that
motion.
I
can
clarify
but
I,
guess,
I'm
concerned.
Z
If
this
is
our
time
to
direct
staff
and
look
for
information
that
we're
looking
for
to
have
to
committee.
If
we're
now
going
to
start
voting
on
whether
or
not
elected
officials
have
the
right
to
ask
for
information,
I
think
the
it's
a
place
that
I
am
uncomfortable
with
us
being
because
any
motion
that
someone
makes
that
I
think
is
unworthy.
AC
AC
AF
I
in
making
it
citywide
I
was
trying
to
be
as
global
and
equitable
as
possible.
If
you
all
want
it
just
to
be
my
ward
I'm
happy
with
that
I'm,
not
asking
for
any
special
treatment
in
terms
of
my
ward
being
examined
versus
others,
but
I
do
think
it
is
appropriate
to
ask
the
parking
manager
questions
about
parking.
That's
not
a
waste
of
staff
time!
That's
exactly
what
staff
is
there
to
do
right.
P
AF
Demanding
it
tomorrow
at
five
o'clock,
I
will
go,
I've
had
conversations
with
Jill.
Let
me
know
how
long
you
need
to
get
this
together.
A
lot
of
it
is
information
that
already
exists.
Right,
I
could
do
a
FOIA.
We
could
go
that
way,
but
that's
not
the
way.
We
should
run
this
government.
If
someone
has
a
question
and
wants
information
to
make
informed
decisions
about
the
future
not
backwards.
Looking
I
think
that's
something
we
should
encourage
up
here.
Well,.
V
The
way
you
originally
stated
the
request,
it
seemed
really
overly
broad
and
it
seemed
like
it
was
going
to
take
an
extraordinary
amount
of
time
and
effort.
If
you
you
know
now
that
you've
flushed
it
out
and
pared
it
down
to
just
the
specific
kinds
of
districts,
that's
a
big
difference
than
all
restricted
part.
R
AF
As
an
example
right
we're
all
in
this
city
together,
we
represent
these
arbitrary
geographic
areas,
but
decisions
about
parking
need
to
be
made
with
a
longer-term
focus
and
what's
expedient
at
a
particular
moment
or
what's
relevant
in
a
particular
moment.
All
the
parking
adjacent
to
business
districts
is
subject
to
change.
Business
districts,
change,
types
of
businesses
change.
We
don't
ever
look
at
that.
We
don't
have
a
routine
review.
We
don't
talk
to
economic
development,
about
parking
zones,
they've
already
been
established.
These
are
things
we
should
all
do.
AF
AF
What
I
want
to
look
at
as
a
whole
residential
area
adjacent
to
Central
Street
right,
because
that's
where
people
Park,
who
don't
want
to
feed
the
meters
and
as
we
raise
the
price
on
the
meters,
it's
foolish
to
think
that
people
are
just
gonna
pay,
the
meters
they're
gonna
park
on
Hartzell
or
unheard
or
on
any
of
the
streets
nearby
and
walk
half
a
block.
We
need
to
have
some
sort
of
plan
for
those
residents
right
and
maybe
it's
maybe
we
need
to
make
bigger
zones.
Maybe
smaller
zones,
more
restrictive,
less
restrictive,
I,
don't
know!

Mr.
Merz,
the
council
staff
has
been
talking
with
aldermen
suffered
in
we've.
I
think
I've
had
a
good
collaborative
working
discussion
on
this.
You
know
we're
committed
to
get
you
what
you
need.
My
only
concern
is
the
capacity
issue
and
we'll
give
you
our
best
answer
without
spending
a
whole
lot
of
time.
D
I
think
one
of
the
reasons
you
have
the
reference
issue
is,
you
know,
there's
the
potential
to
have
staff,
doing
a
lot
of
larger
projects
that
are
all
good
and
meaningful
things,
but
your
staff
had
does
have
a
limited
capacity,
so
I
think
in
my
years
of
city
manager,
the
understanding
has
been
will
give
you
the
best
that
we
can
within
a
certain
amount
of
effort.
If
it's
something
that
needs
more
after
you've
gotten
the
initial
bit
of
information,
then
you
have
the
larger
discussion
so
we're
happy
to
give
Alderman
suffered
in
I.
D
Guess
I
just
would
have
the
question:
is
it
the
sixth
Ward
or
is
it
citywide
we'll
do
either
and
we
do
the
best
information
that
we
have
will
give
you
the
best
capacity
information
we
have
with
the
caveat
as
I
think
some
of
you
have
mentioned.
These
are
the
decisions
that
go
back.
Many
many
years
are
minutes
from
meetings.
D
T
Suffered
and
now
that
you've
explained
it
more
clearly,
I
would
support
you.
Looking
at
sixth
Ward
and
I
would
be
happy
to
hear
what
your
results
are
because
I
agree
with
you.
We
need
to
continually
modify
and
look
again
at
all
of
our
city
programs.
My
point
is:
we
have
to
do
it
in
a
methodical
way,
with
lots
of
notice
and
lots
of
community
input
on
every
single
step
of
the
way,
because
otherwise
people
misunderstand
all.
A
AB

You
mr.
mayor
I'd
also
like
to
join
our
alderman
rusyns
in
Alden,
original
and
thinking
of
the
rebuilding
Together
team,
as
it's
been
previously
previously
stated,
six
to
eight
homes
in
the
second
fifth
and
seventh
Ward
I,
especially
want
to
acknowledge
Kinzie
group
Northwestern
and
in
all
the
businesses
the
organization's
our
city
staff,
was
out
there
and
all
the
volunteers
I
mean
it
was
really
really
an
awesome
event
and
then
that's
followed
up
by
a
special
acknowledgement
to
the
sergeant
be
William
Snell,
post,
71
86.
AC
As
with
the
mayor
and
polk
county
commissioner
Larry
suffered
in
as
we
celebrated
the
brave
men
and
women
who
not
only
serve
our
country
or
who
have
served
our
country
in
foreign
wars.
But
a
majority
of
those
group
members
also
volunteer
in
Evanston,
so
it
was
just
a
great
weekend
all
around.
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you
all.
