Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
A
The
first
item
on
our
agenda
is
the
mayor's
public
announcements
and
proclamations
of
which
I
I
have
four
very
a
very
diverse
collection
of
things
to
discuss.
So
I
hope
you'll
indulge
the
dramatic
change
in
topic
from
item
to
item.
A
And
whereas
this
city,
this
holiday,
called
arbor
day,
was
first
observed
with
the
planting
of
more
than
a
million
trees
in
nebraska
and
is
now
observed
throughout
the
nation
in
the
world
and
whereas
arbor
day
is
celebrated.
In
illinois,
on
the
last
friday
of
april
and
whereas
evanston
has
been
a
tree
city
usa
since
1985,
and
has
only
increased
its
commitments
to
trees
and
other
green
infrastructure
now,
therefore,
I
daniel
biss
mayor
of
the
city
of
evanston,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
last
friday
of
april.
A
A
Or
less
frequently,
as
the
case
may
be,
because
of
the
census
that
occurred
under
the
u.s
constitution,
the
city
will
be
redrawing.
Its
ward
maps
and
the
first
meeting
of
the
redistricting
committee
will
be
held
in
two
weeks
on
tuesday
may
10th
at
7
pm
here
in
the
civic
center
in
room
2404
around
the
corner
for
more
information.
Please
reach
out
to
councilmember
nussma,
who
will
be
chairing
the
committee.
A
The
next
item
is
a
very
somber
one,
and
I
regret
to
inform
you
that
a
we
lost
a
staff
member
last
week,
adam
abazian,
who
was
in
charge
of
our
lakefront
for
many
years,
was
a
young
man
with
a
family
passed
away
last
week,
and
I
want
to
say
two
things.
First
of
all,
of
course,
it's
just
a
tragic
loss
and
we
extend
every
sympathy
and
all
of
our
love
to
his
family
and
his
loved
ones
and
those
he
left
behind.
A
But
I
just
also
want
to
add
that,
as
somebody
who
had
the
responsibility
of
hearing
from
people
who
were
harmed
on
our
lakefront
a
lot
in
the
course
of
the
last
year,
people
who
had
a
lot
of
grievances
and
a
lot
of
concerns.
One
continued
message
I
heard
from
them-
was
that
adam
was
their
ally.
Adam
was
their
supporter,
and
I
think
the
whole
city
owes
him
a
bit
of
gratitude
for
that
and,
as
we
mourn
his
passing,
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
with
the
community
as
well.
A
The
last
item
I
wanted
to
mention
today
is
that
I
just
had
the
extraordinarily
extraordinary
privilege
upstairs
in
the
parasol
room
of
participating
in
a
dinner
that
was
held
in
conjunction
with
the
initial
round
of
reparations
funds
that
have
been
allocated
of
the
16
ancestors,
who
were
recipients
of
those
funds
whose
who
were
selected
through
a
process
we've
talked
about
in
the
past.
A
Nearly
all
were
able
to
join
us.
It
was
a
powerful,
historic
and
moving
moving
experience,
one
in
which
I
think
all
of
us
in
the
room,
while
recognizing
the
historication
that
we
were
a
part
of
also
recognized
that
a
single
financial
contribution
is
a
small
part
of
the
reparatory
work
that
needs
to
be
done
and
that
we're
committing
to
do
that.
A
We
we
make
these
allocations
of
funding
as
a
recognition
of
how
much
more
work
we
have
to
do
thereafter,
but
also
as
a
recognition
that
it's
simply
not
acceptable
any
longer
to
wait
to
take
that
first,
tangible
step.
So
there's
a
lot
of
people
to
thank
for
this,
and
I
think
we're
going
to
hear
from
some
folks
about
this
when
it
come.
A
When
public
comment
comes,
but
definitely
especially
want
to
thank
our
staff,
who
did
so
much
to
make
the
stay,
come
to
pass
the
seven
members
of
the
reparations
committee,
three
on
the
city
council,
four
or
not,
council,
member
former
councilmember
robin
roof
simmons
and
judge
lionel
jean-baptiste-
who
was
there
this
this
evening
and
and
many
more
so
this
work
continues.
There's
lots
more
that
lies
ahead,
but
today
was
an
important
milestone
along
that
path.
B
Good
evening
mayor
members
of
the
city
council,
just
two
quick
items,
there
was
some
signatures
received
for
a
petition
in
support
of
a
climate
emergency
resolution
which
was
forwarded
on
to
the
council
by
clerk
mendoza,
and
then
there
was
also
public
comment
in
support
of
the
varsity
theater
that
was
received
and
forwarded
on
to
city
council.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
This
brings
us
to
public
comment
this
evening.
Public
each
public
commenter
will
be
given
three
minutes,
we'll
begin,
as
always
with
those
who
signed
up
in
person
to
speak
in
person,
as
we
can
all
see
by
looking
around
there
they're
more
such
speakers
than
we've
had
in
in
recent
months
and
we're
thrilled
thrilled
to
see
so
many
people
here
and
appreciative
of
your
of
your
engagement
here
in
person.
D
D
D
Students
mainly
discuss
the
consequences
of
effective
carp
implementation
and
today's
climate
emergency
resolution
make
sure
you
are
holding
businesses
accountable
for
their
carbon
emissions
route.
1
attendee
calling
special
attention
to
the
need
to
prioritize
buildings
that
are
our
highest
carbon
emitters.
Another
student
noted
the
need
for
better
messaging
and
accessibility
of
information
for
youth.
Writing.
I
feel
like
people.
My
age
are
not
internalizing
this
as
a
serious
issue.
Education
is
key.
D
D
Students
also
urge
local
officials
to
expand
the
office
of
sustainability,
as
none
of
these
goals
can
be
effectively
addressed
without
adequate
staffing.
Evanston
cannot
make
the
changes
we
need
to
if
the
office
of
sustainability
does
not
have
enough
employees.
Finally,
we're
just
scared.
I
mean
one
student
wrote.
I
am
terrified
for
our
future,
I'm
terrified
of
the
reparable
damage
and
lives
lost
to
climate
change
and
I'm
terrified
of
being
complacent.
D
E
We've
heard
it
a
thousand
times
the
youngest
generations
and
those
still
being
born
will
bear
the
heaviest
brunt
of
the
climate
crisis
impacts
that
are
already
affecting
the
world.
Now
the
council
is
poised
to
pass
a
potentially
transformative
resolution
today.
So
I
want
to
discuss
the
role
of
both
government
and
young
people
in
what
comes
next.
E
Minors
are
excluded
from
the
voting
constituency.
Thus
our
impact
in
the
democratic
process
outside
the
institution
of
voting
is
uniquely
valuable,
as
this
is
our
only
opportunity
to
have
our
interests
represented
by
ourselves.
The
resolution
represents
exactly
how
this
kind
of
democracy
should
work.
It
largely
originated
with
youth
activists
was
picked
up
by
those
in
power
and
moved
along
through
the
support
from
intergenerational
civic
activists,
but
the
democratic
process
doesn't
stop
there.
When
resolutions
pass
it's
up
to
city
government
to
implement
them
with
ordinances
and
other
concrete
policy
changes.
E
E
City
government
must
continue
to
work
with
the
community
as
the
city
takes
steps
towards
concrete
implementation
and
pay
special
attention
to
communication
with
young
leaders.
This
communication
goes
both
ways.
City
government
must
do
better
to
actively
make
information
accessible
to
ordinary
citizens,
while
we
work
within
our
networks
to
get
the
best
representation
for
our
interests.
E
E
We
know
that
the
resolution
holds
incredible
promise,
especially
for
those
who
are
the
victims
of
environmental
injustice.
It
provides
a
vision
for
a
better
future
for
all
in
evanston
as
the
youngest
generation's
age.
It
firmly
solidifies
evanston
as
a
leader
in
local
climate
policy
nationwide,
following
through
on
the
climate
emergency
resolution
and
carp
action
agenda,
will
lift
our
community
up.
Don't
let
us
down.
F
Thank
you
mayor
biss
and
city
clerk,
interim
city
manager
and
members
of
council,
I'm
jerry
garl.
I
live
in
the
eighth
ward
and
I'm
the
chair
of
the
carp
implementation
task
force,
which
is
the
subcommittee
of
the
evanston
environment
board,
I'm
here
to
ask
for
your
immediate
and
unanimous
approval
of
the
resolution
to
declare
a
climate
emergency
and
its
action
agenda.
F
Paying
higher
utility
bills
live
in
neighborhoods,
with
reduced
access
to
public
transportation
and
walkability,
and
experience
the
confounding
sense
that
city
services
aren't
being
delivered
or
responded
to
equitably.
This
must
change.
The
role
of
our
next
city
manager
is
critical
to
request
adequate
resources,
create
more
transparency,
with
accountability
for
action
and
establish
strong
community
engage.
Excuse
me
engagement.
That
includes
many
voices
that
are
not
traditionally
heard.
Please
support
that
role
tonight
by
adopting
the
resolution
and
the
action
agenda.
Thank
you.
G
G
G
Thank
you.
I
want
to
assure
you
that
you
have
broad
support
in
prioritizing
climate
justice
at
this
critically
urgent
time
and
thank
you
in
advance
for
what
I
hope
will
be
unanimous
support.
Evanston
can
and
must
be
a
climate
justice
leader
locally
nationally
and
globally,
it's
their
future.
Thank
you.
H
Mayor
bis
and
members
of
the
city
council,
I
am
elizabeth
kinney,
a
resident
of
evanson
and
climate
action
chair
for
the
league
of
women
voters
of
evanston.
The
league
has
found
that
climate
change
is
a
serious
threat
facing
our
nation
and
our
planet.
The
leap
believes
that
an
integrated
approach
to
combating
climate
change
includes
energy
conservation,
air
pollution,
controls,
building,
resilience
and
promotion
of
renewable
resources
that
are
necessary
to
protect
public
health
and
defend
the
overall
integrity
of
the
global
ecosystem.
H
I
am
here
tonight
to
express
the
league's
strong
support
for
the
proposed
climate
emergency
resolution.
It
is
time
for
the
city
to
put
teeth
into
the
commitments
it
made
in
the
climate
action
resilience.
Plan
of
2018
in
this
regard
is
an
important
to
the
city
lead
by
example,
particularly
in
view
of
the
difficult
choices
that
we
face.
H
Sense
of
urgency
is
needed
in
every
decision
that
the
city
makes
adopting
the
corporate
action
agenda,
which
is
attached
to
this
resolution,
will,
if
followed,
significantly
help
the
city
reach
its
carp
goals,
goals
that
are
necessary
for
us
to
do
our
part
to
reduce
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
help
reduce
global
warming
and
ensure
a
just
and
sustainable
resilient
and
healthy
future
for
the
generations
to
come.
Thank
you.
I
Good
evening
city,
council
members,
my
name
is
betty
bogg,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
connections
for
the
homeless,
I'm
coming
to
you
tonight,
because
miss
truths
about
the
work
of
connections
are
being
asserted
in
public
meetings
such
as
this
one,
I've
been
counseled
not
to
be
overly
defensive,
and
I'm
working
on
that.
But,
as
a
steward
of
this
agency,
I
need
to
address
the
comments.
I
I
What
I
can
confidently
say
is
that,
from
january
1st
of
2022
till
today
april-
well
sorry,
whatever
day
today
is
our
records-
show
two
incidents
requiring
a
police
response.
One
was
a
brief
misunderstanding
between
roommates
that
was
peacefully
resolved
with
no
charges
filed.
The
second
was
an
incident
in
which
our
staff
called
for
assistance
when
a
non-resident
was
seeking
access
to
the
property
and
refused
to
leave.
I
I
In
addition
to
case
management,
our
services
include
on-site
physical
and
mental
health
care
via
licensed
nursing
staff
and
a
mental
health
professional
who
provides
individual
and
group
therapy.
We
also
offer
substance,
use
disorder,
support
employment,
counseling
and
many
additional
supportive
services.
I
J
J
What
a
historic
moment
a
lot
was
made
about
the
history
of
the
moment,
but
we,
I
urge
the
committee
at
the
the
council
to
continue
its
work
and
continue
to
keep
this
a
an
urgent
priority,
because
in
in
sharing
that
time
with
them,
we
we
are
we're
reminded
that
behind
these
historical
moments
are
individuals,
our
individuals
with
very
personal
stories,
and
they
are
the
living
history
of
our
evanston
community
and
we
can't
fail
to
honor
their
very
personal
journeys
that
they've
taken
us
on
in
those
discussions
with
them
and
speaking
with
them.
Honoring
them.
J
J
Instead,
we
were
saying
it
was
a
beginning
of
saying
thank
you
to
them
for
participating
in
the
progress
in
this
process
without
them
participating
without
them
applying
and
accepting
their
distributions.
We
would
not
be
able
to
begin
the
healing
process
that
evanston's
able
to
experience
by
them,
saying
yes
to
the
process
and
by
them
accepting
these
things.
So
we
we
thank
them,
and
we
urge
the
council
to
continue
to
support
programs
that
support
them.
J
The
city
made
a
historical
step
and
we're
very
proud
of
the
step
that
we've
been
able
to
take
and
the
value
that
we
that
expresses
to
our
community.
It
was
just
the
beginning
and
we
have
to
continue.
We
have
to
put
our
efforts
behind
continue.
The
work
continue
the
hard
work
and
the
effort
and
acknowledge
the
valuable
contributions
that
each
of
those
people
made.
J
J
K
K
It's
a
very
high
stress
situation,
especially
for
those
who
experience
firsthand
what
this
continues
to
do
to
our
neighborhood.
In
fact,
there
was
a
call
just
this
afternoon
at
the
marguerite
inn
and
there
were
four
squad
cars
there.
Nothing
serious!
I
don't
think,
but
I
don't
know
what
the
details
were:
we're
not
complaining
about
losing
our
view
of
the
lakefront
here.
This
is,
let's
be
clear.
K
We
are
worried
that
connections
can
properly
manage
the
shelter
and
provide
the
services
needed.
You
may
not
want
to
admit
it,
but
this
could
easily
become
the
next
albany
care,
if
not
properly
controlled.
The
neighborhood
has
changed
for
the
worse
homes
from
outside
evanston
are
attracted
to
the
center.
Even
if
they
don't
live
there,
we
see
public,
urination,
aggressive
and
sometimes
extreme
behaviors.
K
Let's
look
at
the
numbers,
and
these
numbers
by
the
way
are
from
the
city
from
the
fire
and
police
departments.
From
2018
to
2020,
the
margaritan
had
24
police
and
fire
and
emt
calls
12
a
year
to
that
building.
That's
our
baseline!
Now
from
2020
to
2022,
there
were
261
calls
to
the
connections
homeless,
shelter,
that's
an
astounding
increase
of
10
times
to
a
single
building
in
evanston.
K
This
might
have
been
attributed
to
the
covet
emergency.
Well,
if
you
take
away
the
calls
just
to
that
one
building,
the
calls
to
the
block
itself
actually
decreased.
It
was
an
unusual
time.
Perhaps
things
got
better
from
year,
one
to
year
two
they
didn't.
They
got
dramatically
worse.
In
fact,
57
percent,
worse
and
I'd
be
happy
to
share
these
data
with
anybody.
K
So
we
think
that
more
needs
to
be
done.
This
is
evanston.
We
can
do
better
anything
less
and
you
could
be
responsible
for
building
another
albany
care.
We're
not
convinced
that
the
controls
currently
in
place
are
are
adequate
quite
frankly.
So
if
this
stays
as
a
homeless
shelter,
it
needs
to
be
zoned
as
a
homeless,
shelter,
not
a
rooming
house.
That's
all
we're
saying
it
needs
to
be
zoned
properly.
K
K
A
L
L
The
board
has
not
met
for
far
too
long,
and
now
it
will
be
structured
differently.
It
is
concerning
that
the
first
meeting
of
the
board
will
be
held
at
1pm
on
wednesday
may
11th.
This
deserves
explanation,
as
this
clearly
negates
having
wider
public
participation
on
matters
of
ethics
that
have
been
on
hold
for
far
too
long.
L
In
addition,
in
connection
to
carp
and
climate
justice,
I
did
notice
that
we're
going
to
spend
some
money
on
some
trees.
That's
great!
Where
is
our
tree
ordinance?
What
happened
to
it?
Let's
get
some
traction
on
that.
Please
I'm
on
the
agenda
item
that
I'm
speaking
to
tonight,
it's
h1
amending
portions
of
the
city
code
about
noises
prohibited
and
I
suppose
there
was
reasoning
for
this
ordinance,
backed
by
good
intentions
about
nuisance
and
so
on,
but
I
have
some
concerns
about
it.
L
L
L
But
I
really
want
us
to
think
about
as
a
community.
What
are
we
after
here
and
who
are
we
after
northwestern
is
exempt?
Space
is
exempt.
They
make
the
longest
loudest
noises
of
anyone
and
don't
get
me
wrong.
I
love
music.
I
go
to
the
space
concerts,
but.
A
L
M
M
The
only
thing
I
would
say-
and
it's
really
not
a
negative,
because
I
I
know
everyone's
trying
to
be
proactive
about
this,
but
on
one
of
the
documents
page
nine,
it
talks
about
municipal
operations
and
how,
in
2020
we're
100
renewable
electricity
for
municipal
municipal
operations,
with
a
check
mark,
meaning
we're
done
with
that.
I
think
that's
misleading.
It
needs
a
lot
of
explanation.
I
I
know
what
you're
trying
to
say,
but
I
think
it's
over
anxious
to
show.
M
Just
briefly,
also
I'd
like
to
have
somebody
at
the
council
explain
item
f1
in
much
more
detail.
There's
a
lot
of
cost.
We're
kind
of
rebuilding
you
know
the
2021
budget,
adding
eleven
thousand
five
hundred
fifty
four
dollars,
I'm
sorry
eleven
million
five
hundred
fifty
four
thousand
hundred
473
dollars
of
expenses,
many
of
which
should
be
handled.
M
M
M
We
were
talking
about
an
expenditure
on
the
bills
list,
seventeen
thousand
dollars
to
to
the
architect
of
the
robert
krohn
center,
and
it
was
stated
that
that's
probably
the
final
payment
to
that
group
and
that's
why
it's
coming
in
so
late.
M
Okay,
that's
fine,
but
then
it
was
stated
by
the
city
engineer
that,
oh
by
the
way,
all
those
cracks
on
the
first
floor
of
robert
crown,
those
are
normal.
She
said
that's
to
be
expected.
She
said
15.
A
M
I
just
have
to
tell
you
unequivocally
that
is
so
misleading
and
to
say
that
no
one
else
is
responsible
for
those
things
that
should
have
been
taken
care
of
by
the
contractor
by
the
architect
by
the
engineer,
by
their
liability
insurance
to
correct
that.
So
you've
been
misled
and
you
continue
to
be
misled.
M
To
get
a
second
opinion
on
this
matter,
it's
that
expenditure,
if
it's
their
last
payment
to
the
architect,
should
be
held
until
you
get
exceptional.
A
second
opinion
on
how
you're
gonna
fix
that
cracking.
That
is
dangerous.
Someone
is
gonna,
start
to
be
tripping
on
those
things
you
can't
cover
them
up
with
tables
all
the.
A
N
Hi
good
evening,
mayor
bis
and
members
of
the
city
council,
I'm
sarah
fbiburg,
I
live
in
the
third
ward,
I'm
representing
myself,
and
I'm
also
representing
saint
nicholas
parish,
806
ridge,
peace
and
justice
committee,
we're
very
thrilled
with
evanston's
action
on
climate
control
and
carbon
emission
reduction.
N
The
people
who
are
getting
hit
with
this
worst
are
the
people
who
are
not
causing
it
and
the
people
who
are
suffering
the
most
people,
where
climate
has
changed
so
badly
that
their
habitat
is
disappearing
under
the
water
and
the
heat
is
such
that
they
can't
live
in
it.
This
is
an
issue
that
all
of
us
in
the
human
family
share
in
if
we
don't
do
something
our
kids
and
our
grandkids
and
our
great
grandkids
will
have
to
live
with
the
results
of
our
decisions.
N
A
O
Okay,
I
would
like
to
first
talk
about
a5
you're
talking
about,
I
believe,
75
000
dollars
for
216
new
trees.
Where
will
these
trees
be
planted?
Unfortunately,
the
city
is
doing
a
poor
job
with
tree
maintenance.
O
O
Where
are
you
planting
them
in
the
fifth
ward,
where
the
lady
cut
down
40,
plus
trees,
many
large
ones
on
emerson
and
jackson,
people
can't
water
the
trees
on
the
parkway
because
it
costs
too
much.
Are
you
giving
someone
a
break
on
their
water
bill
when
they're
watering,
the
trees
that
the
city
is
responsible?
O
The
tracks
here
by
my
house
has
a
lot
of
dead
trees
and
you
don't
do
anything
with
them
and
they
look
very
bad
right
behind
truly
on
on
off
of
east
railroad
and
on
the
other
side
of
ridge.
I
would
also
like
to
talk
about
a23
it's
for
action
tonight.
At
city
council,
these
changes
are
very
serious
with
the
housing
rules.
This
should
have
been
discussed
in
the
housing
subcommittee
before
it
was
for
action.
O
O
O
The
subcommittee
has
been
talking
about
this
for
a
long
time
when
it
was
discussed
and
suggested
by
me
and
others
that
we
need
to
focus
on
improving
the
inspection
process.
Not
one
time
did,
mission
or
state
that
these
changes
were
coming
up
again.
This
needs
to
be
referred
back
into
the
committee
for
discussion
and
properly
noticed
to
people
that
it
will
affect
the
tenants
owners
and
managers
of
property.
O
Yesterday.
I
would
also
like
to
say
that
mayor
bis
and
former
alderman
rue
simmons
appeared
at
temple
jeremiah
and
made
a
case
for
reparations.
O
O
It
seems
like
it's
very
unfair
here
in
evanston
games
as
usual
black
lives
matter
all
the
time
not
sometimes
thank
you.
P
Hello
city
council:
can
I
succumb
start
after
carlos.
Please.
Q
Okay,
that's
fine!
Thank
you,
doreen.
Thank
you
all
for
this
opportunity
to
give
comments
to
the
city
council.
I
want
to
commend
mayor
biss.
I
want
to
commend
the
city
manager
and
the
clerk
for
the
action
that
they're
taking
toward
reparations
happy
hour
day
to
the
city
of
evanston.
Evanston
was
once
designated
the
city
of
trees,
I'm
glad
to
see
the
planting
of
trees,
especially
elm
trees,
not
those
ugly
kentucky,
coffee
trees
that
were
a
hideous
site
in
my
community
also.
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
a
significant
accomplishment
that
occurred
today.
Q
The
first
appearance
of
the
16
people
who
received
recognition
through
reparations
today
is
not
the
end
of
systematic
racism
in
our
city,
but
it
is
indicative
of
a
progressive
town,
and
that
has
given
our
country
one
from
right
here
in
evanston
amendment
19
the
prohibition,
even
though
it
was
repealed
and
later
we
know
now
that
we
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
recipients
for
for
filling
out
the
forms
and
participating
in
this
reparation
dis
distribution.
Q
This
is
historical,
not
sufficient
enough
to
roll
back
the
current
movement
in
our
country,
to
excavate
our
differences
and
to
enlarge
our
divisions.
The
longest
journey
begins
with
a
single
step.
Thank
you,
city
officials,
for
being
the
only
city
in
america
that
has
acknowledged
and
addressed
the
harms
to
our
citizens.
Q
May
this
movement
expand
beyond
the
borders
of
evanston
to
other
communities
in
our
country,
eventually
with
the
passing
of
house
resolution
number
40..
Thank
you.
I
commend
you
and
support
you
in
your
efforts
to
bring
equity
to
this
city,
even
though
the
timely
meeting
does
not
provide
for
full
participation.
Q
Also,
I
will
want
to
amend
you
for
passing
the
climate
urgency
legislation.
I
oppose
the
passing
of
a23
for
the
remarks
already
given
by
tina
payton,
but
not
sufficient
notification
to
landlords.
Thank
you
and
have
a
good
evening.
P
Hello
mayor
this
and
the
city
council,
I'm
definitely
as
an
advocate
support,
greater
evanston
environmental
justice,
the
environmental
board,
all
those
organizations
who
are
fighting
for
our
climate,
but
the
climate
is
an
issue
with
regard
to
our
humanity
shared
with
and
and
and
enriched
by
having
nature
around
us
and
to
the
extent
that
we
can
reverse.
That
is
huge
and
just
trying
to
keep
even
is
huge
and
there's
efforts
that
are
being
generated
and
trying
new
new
and
different
things.
P
I
would
very
much
like
the
city
encourage
residents
to
participate
in
these
newer
approaches
to
greening
their
properties,
including
trees
or
using
endogenous
plants
and
plants
that
will
take
over
the
old
plants
of
the
old
grass
in
ways
that
we're
we're
still
learning
together
and
not
have
people
tell
on
each
other,
because
the
other
person's
in
process
of
trying
something
that
they
are
legitimately
engaged
in
and
so
the
city
of
evanston
partnering
and
not
traumatizing
residents
by
enforcing
codes,
because
some
people
are
not
socially
or
not
economic
or
green.
P
P
So
I
encourage
the
city
of
evanston
to
take
more
active,
truly
engaged,
even
if
our
interim
city
manager
goes
walking
around
and
encouraging
people
in
terms
of
their
efforts.
That
would
be
huge
in
terms
of
a
culture
change
and
listening
to
the
residents
and
what
they
have
to
say,
both
pro
and
and
con,
and
then
the
last
thing
is
the
green
infrastructure.
P
P
Who,
as
jonathan
well
knows,
that
in
terms
of
economic
and
social
justice,
that
there
are
issues
with
regard
to
people
within
in
a
dangerous
situation
or
flooding
getting
impacted
disproportionately,
and
that
can
be
abated
by
some
of
the
programs
again.
That
jonathan
is
highly
aware
of
and
talking
about
at
city
council.
P
A
Thank
you.
I
want
to
go
back
to
clark
mccarthy,
who
signed
up
online
to
speak
in
person
as
clark
mccarthy
here.
R
Hi,
my
name
is
leslie
macmillan,
I'm
a
seventh
ward
resident,
I'm
also
a
member
of
the
finance
and
budget
committee.
I
just
wanted
to
encourage
the
entire
council
to
please
reconsider
okaying
the
attendance
of
the
11.5
million
overage
on
the
budget.
It
makes
budgeting
a
farce
if
you're
simply
going
to
come
back
and
ask
people
to
just
approve
something
retrospectively.
R
I
mean
that's
really
asking
for
forgiveness
rather
than
permission.
I
you
know
you
need
to
get
a
better,
better
handle
on
your
finances
and
you
have
a
fiduciary
responsibility.
All
of
you,
including
your
cfo,
as
well
as
the
council,
and
you
need
to
be
able
to
articulate
to
your
residents
why
you're
going
over
those
amounts
also.
In
addition,
I
think
it's
very
important
to
have
a
much
better
understanding
to
the
public.
What
the
twenty
five
thousand
dollar
limit
means
that
council
has
to
approve.
R
A
Thank
you.
That
concludes
public
comment.
We're
going
to
go
slightly
out
of
order
on
the
agenda.
The
minutes,
I
think,
should
be
read
as
occurring
after
the
special
orders
of
business,
and
so
that
brings
us
to
item
sp1
with
someone
here
to
make
a
motion
on
sp1.
I
move
item.
A
Council
member
reed
moves
item
sp
one
council
member
braithwaite
seconds
and
I
believe
we'll
begin
with
a
presentation.
I
see
mr
cummings
here
and
I
presume
to
shoot
her
is
here
as
well.
T
Braithwaite,
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
so
there
was
no
planned
presentation
just
a
couple
of
recaps
for
the
dinner
that
took
place,
and
I
want
to
thank
our
our
committee
member
claire,
mcfarland
bartlett
mcfarland
barber,
who
shared
minutes
at
our
public
comment
as
well
as
our
mayor
that
that
participated
of
all
the
notes
that
are
that
are
part
of
the
public
packet.
There's
a
lot
of
detail-
and
I
just
wanted
to
take
this
moment-
to
really
acknowledge
some
of
our
staff
members.
T
What
we,
what
we've
done
and
what
we
have
shared
is,
is
the
work
that's
happening
on
the
municipal
level.
I'd
also
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
share
that
the
groundwork
that
was
started
by
our
former
alderman
now
judge
lionel
jean-baptiste.
That
was
then
continued
by
our
former
alderman
robin
roose.
Simmons
has
really
you
know
beyond
what
we're
doing
in
evanston,
their
other
local
municipalities
of
providence,
rhode,
island
dc,
amherst
massachusetts.
Everyone
is
embarking
on
this
work
and
today
we
we
really
acknowledge
the
first
6
16..
T
I
want
to
just
quickly
thank
our
our
staff,
and
this
was
really
kicked
off
she's
no
longer
here,
but
kimberly
richardson.
That
worked
really
hard,
there's
director
audrey
thompson,
who
has
been
along
with
tashik
kerr,
who
met
with
the
initial
16
that
led
up
to
this
moment.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
legal
department
led
by
nick
cummings
and
michelle
ozarigo.
T
Work
along
the
way
to
protect
us
as
a
corporation
we
enjoyed.
I
want
to
also
thank
chef,
nicole
henry
and
the
wonderful
food
that
she
prepared.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
sipa
our
community
partners
for
affordable
housing.
They
have
done
years
of
good
work
and
they
have,
if
I
get
this
right
to
sheik,
have
contributed
over
250
hours
of
volunteer
service
to
help
with
our
with
our
seniors,
who
were
selected.
T
Is
this
in
this
first
round
to
work
with
them
to
get
their
housing
goals
that
will
eventually
for
some
they're
choosing
to
pay
down
their
their
home
mortgage
line
of
credit
and
then
for
others
that
they're
doing
home
repairs
that
will
eventually
help
to
improve
their
their
property
values
and,
at
the
same
time,
through
the
work
of
director
audrey
thompson
and
to
chic
we're
looking
at
other
resources
that
can
help
to
make
their
make
them.
Whole.
T
But
it
is
a
first
step
that
we
recognize
and
with
this
16
we've
learned
so
much,
and
we
hope
to
over
the
next
couple
of
months
in
our
committee
meeting
to
secure
the
funding
for
the
other
102
ancestors
that
are
in
that
category
and
then
from
there
qualify
the
group
of
descendants
and
then
hopefully,
continue
to
move
on
with
with
additional
repair
work.
So
I
just
wanted
to
again
thank
our
our
staff.
T
S
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
add
to
that.
Thank
you,
councilmember
braithwaite,
for
that
summation
and
thank
you
to
staff
and
and
all
the
folks
who
have
led
us
to
hear,
as
as
we.
S
Recognize
this
moment,
I
just
also
really
want
to
highlight
one
of
the
last
things
that
you
mentioned
there,
which
is
the
need
for
this
body
to
do
our
part,
which
is
to
come
up
with
the
funding
that
will
be
adequate
to
actually
fund.
I
think
many
folks
out
there
believe
that
we're
gonna
have
10
million
dollars
within
the
first
10
years
to
to
fund
reparations
and
that's
a
great
goal,
but
right
now
we're
nowhere
near
on
track
to
do
that,
and
so
I
think
the
the
next
charge
now
that
we've
got.
S
You
know
the
the
the
foundation
of
the
program
behind
us
and
we've
gotten
our
first
16
folks
awarded
at
the
pace
that
we're
gathering
funds
in
the
reparations
in
the
reparations
fund.
Now
through
the
the
taxing
sources,
it
would
be
another
two
years
before
we
could
do
another
16
be
two
years
you
know,
and
so
so
forth
and
so
on
to
be
years.
S
You
know
almost
a
decade
or
decades
before
we
even
got
through
the
ancestors
and
so
the
charge
that
this
body
I
think
has
to
take
up
now,
is
finding
additional
sources
of
revenue
to
allocate
toward
reparations
and
looking
to
expand
the
program
as.
S
Of
the
reparations
subcommittee,
that
is
something
I'm
laser
focused
on
excited
for
this
moment,
but
truly
excited
for
the
work
ahead

us.
That
will
lead

to
actually
fulfilling

Would
someone
like
to
make
a
motion
on
item
sp2.
V
A
W
First,
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
that
our
report
this
evening
is
a
result
of
the
shared
commitment
of
my
colleagues
city
staff
in
all
departments.
The
work
of
my
predecessors,
as
well
as
the
evanston
environment
board,
the
carp
implementation
task
force,
elected
officials
and
community
activists
in
order
to
make
progress
on
our
goals.
W
To
put
it
simply,
we
can,
and
we
must
city
government-
is
more
nimble
than
other
levels
of
bureaucracy,
while
also
having
the
authority
to
enact
creative
legislation
that
has
a
tangible
impact
on
the
lives
of
our
neighbors
and
our
neighborhoods.
At
the
same
time,
the
urgency
for
action
on
climate
change
is
growing.
The
most
recent
report
from
the
international
intergovernmental
panel
on
climate
change
is
a
stark
reminder
of
the
limited
window.
We
have
to
correct
our
path
and
avoid
the
most
catastrophic
effects
of
climate
change.
W
According
to
most
recent
data,
evanston
has
reduced
its
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
35.
Since
2005.,
however,
covet
19
had
a
significant
impact
on
evanston's
emissions
inventory
in
2020,
causing
a
record
single
year
drop
in
emissions
of
11
from
2019
to
2020.
staff
considers
this
data
to
be
anomalous
and
therefore
a
three-year
average
is
more
enlightening.
W
Now
we'll
go
into
our
more
detailed
progress
to
date
on
other
goals
or
sub
goals
within
carp,
I
created
a
sort
of
an
icon
system
to
measure
our
progress
for
each
goal.
The
green
check
mark
indicates
that
a
goal
is
complete,
which
doesn't
mean
that
we're
not
still
working
on
it.
It
means
that
a
program
is
in
place
to
assure
continued
progress
on
that
goal.
The
yellow
arrow
is
in
reference
to
a
goal,
that's
in
progress
and
there's
reason
for
optimism.
W
That
is
on
track
to
be
achieved
within
the
date
that
we
had
passed
within
carp.
The
red
circle
is
a
goal,
that's
in
progress,
but
generally
off
track.
It
is
not
likely
that
we
would
achieve
that
goal
on
time,
and
this
great
question
mark
is
a
goal
that
is
again
on
progress
in
progress,
but
that
we
don't
really
have
data
to
be
able
to
measure
exactly
how
well
we're
doing.
W
So,
within
municipal
operations,
as
was
mentioned
by
many
of
our
speakers,
the
city
of
evanston
has
achieved
its
goal
of
100
renewable
energy
for
municipal
operations
by
2020
through
the
electricity
aggregation
program
with
mc
squared,
which
again
facilitates
the
purchase
of
renewable
energy
credits
or
wrecks,
while
also
providing
a
new
revenue
source
for
the
city.
However,
as
purists
within
the
environmental
movement
will
tell
you,
the
additionality
of
local,
renewable
energy
is
also
important
and
better
reflects
the
ethos
of
this
goal,
as
it
was
originally
written.
W
We
consider
this
to
be
a
goal
that
is
in
progress
and
it's
possible
that
we
could
achieve
this
goal
not
yet
completely
achieved
with
items
like
continuing
to
enforce
our
water
and
energy,
benchmarking,
ordinance,
thinking
about
building
code
updates
and
also
setting
standards.
Building
performance
standards
are
important
steps
related
to
this
goal.
W
W
some
projects
that
support
this
include
recent
legislation
at
state
and
federal
levels
that
green
the
grid
or
provide
more
renewable
electricity.
That's
available
to
evanston
residents,
as
well
as
our
community
choice,
aggregation
community,
solar
and
recently
announced
accessible
solar
programs
to
again
make
progress
towards
the
school
in
terms
of
zero
waste.
Much
like
our
municipal
goal.
We
are
not
on
track
to
increase
the
community
waste
diversion
rate
to
50
by
2025..
W
W
As
I
mentioned
before,
a
zero-waste
strategy
plan
community-wide
is
currently
under
development
to
establish
a
road
map
highlighting
which
waste
reduction
strategies
would
be
best
for
our
community.
This
will
include
a
visioning
and
drafting
process,
robust
stakeholder
engagement
in
our
business
community
and
also
defining
terminology
and
waste
streams,
of
focus,
refining
and
elaborating
goals
related
to
waste
and
defining
metrics
and
key
performance
indicators
to
gauge
progress
in
terms
of
transportation
and
mobility.
W
W
Some
important
highlights
for
these
two
points
are
considering
funding
a
vehicle
miles,
traveled
analysis
to
be
able
to
more
accurately
compile
data
and
understand
how
well
we're
doing
and
what
we
can
improve
some
projects
in
support
of
general
supporting
walkability
and
bikeability.
Reducing
vehicle
miles.
Traveled
include
the
chicago
avenue,
multimodal
corridor
corridor
improvements,
completing
design
of
the
church
street
improvement
project,
increasing
equitable
investment
in
sidewalk
maintenance
and
infill,
and
establishing
a
scooter
share
pilot
program.
W
W
This
is
due.
This
tree
loss
is
due
mostly
to
disease,
wind
events
and
voluntary
tree
removal,
which
is
why
the
community
is
working
towards
reconsidering
a
tree
preservation,
ordinance
and
also
focusing
on
increased
investment
in
gaining
tree
canopy
in
the
city.
There's
also
a
newly
established
plant
healthcare
program
that
provides
a
strategy
to
better
maintain
existing
public
trees,
which
will
again
protect
our
canopy
in
terms
of
outreach,
education
and
behavior
change
within
carp.
The
goal
was
that
each
resident
reduces
their
carbon
footprint
by
at
least
10
percent
by
2025..
W
W
Most
importantly,
the
passing
of
the
environmental
justice
resolution
72r20
in
support
of
environmental
justice,
which
calls
for
the
mapping
of
environmental
justice
indicators
within
the
city
and
broadly
implementing
city
projects
through
the
lens
of
environmental
equity
projects.
Also
in
support
of
this
resolution
include
the
contemplation
of
a
one-stop
shop
for
affordable
housing,
retrofits,
eliminating
lead
hazards
in
the
city,
providing
evanstonians
free
access
to
city
beaches
on
the
wrong
slide.
One
moment
there
we
go
and
conducting
an
environmental
equity
assessment
and
environmental
injustice
mitigation
plan
in
terms
of
resilient
infrastructure
and
preparedness.
W
Now,
in
our
final
section
of
carp,
which
is
related
to
implementation,
accountability
and
partnerships,
a
significant
and
timely
project
that
is
crucial
to
implementing
carp
is
the
strategic
and
comprehensive
planning
process.
This
will
be
a
significant
step
towards
accountability
in
our
planning
process.
W
Continued
robust
investment
in
city
infrastructure
would
also
make
significant
progress
towards
bolstering
our
resilience,
and
I
also
wanted
to
share
this
evening
a
carp
principles.
Internal
document,
which
is
a
proposal,
meant
to
help
city
staff
as
they
prepare
for
bringing
items
to
city
council
and
to
the
bcc's
that
they
are
informed
by
carp.
W
I
also
promised
today
to
give
a
bit
of
a
road
map
for
the
next
three
years
of
carp,
implementation
and,
while
certainly
carp
implementation
decision
making
is
not
entirely
up
to
me.
I
decided
to
come
up
with
sort
of
a
draft
plan
for
some
things
that
we
could
consider
doing
in
the
next
three
years
in
2023.
S
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
very
thorough
presentation.
It's
both
leaves
me
a
bit
hopeful
that
we
can
start
moving
on
some
of
this
stuff,
but
also
when
looking
at
the
actual
goals
and
where
we
are
on
achieving
those
things.
It's
a
bit
sobering
and
maybe
even
disappointing
that
we
as
a
collective,
have
not
made
more
progress
in
in
in
those
goals
and
and
in
fact,
are
not
on
track.
S
It
seems
of
the
goals
the
one
that
we
have
solidly
been
able
to
keep
on
track
with
is
with
municipal
operations
and
switching
to
clean
energy
and
seemingly
bringing
down
some
of
our
municipal
greenhouse
gasses.
But
the
one
question
I
have
is
particularly
with
the
emissions
municipal
emissions.
S
It
seems
that
a
good
amount
of
debt
is
offset
by
rex
by
renewable
energy
credits.
So
if
we
were
to
remove
the
renewable
energy
credits
which,
for
folks
who
don't
know
it's
where
we
buy
credits
from
outside
of
our
community
and
say
that
look,
we've
added
to
we've
reduced
carbon
emissions
somewhere
and
we've
paid
for
that,
and
we
can
count
as
a
credit
toward
our
emission.
So
if
we
remove
those
renewable
energy
credits,
where
would
we
stand
as
far
as
our
own,
our
municipal
operations,
cutting
emissions.
W
S
So,
for
the
most
part,
we've
just
kind
of
purchased
our
way
into
without
changing
actual
behavior,
which
again
is
you
know,
makes
even
that
one
rallying
celebrating
point
kind
of
a
little
bit
milk
toast,
because
it
you
know,
we've
just
we've
just
purchased
our
way
into
meeting
our
goal,
still
great,
that
we're
doing
it
and
we're
supporting
those
renewable
energies
somewhere.
W
I
think
getting
really
creative
with
financing,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
presentation,
to
really
understand
how
we
can
raise
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
to
reach
our
goal,
especially
our
2050
goal.
This
is,
will
cost
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
and
that
isn't
to
say
that
it
should
cost
taxpayer
money
locally.
S
And
speaking
of
staffing
departments
that
have
mistaken
this
plan,
you
are
but
one
I
think,
you're
the
only
person
in
your
division.
How
many
do
you
have
any
clue?
How
many
of
you
do
we
need
to
if
we
were
serious
about
implementing
these
programs-
and
you
were
to
have
the
team
that
you
think
would
be
necessary
to
move
us
toward
our
2030
goals,
our
2035
goals?
W
Those
would
include
most
urgently
someone
who
would
be
able
to
help
to
enforce
our
energy
and
water
benchmarking
ordinance,
which
is
a
really
data,
intensive
job
that
requires
close
focus
and
hours
of
labor
dedicated
just
to
looking
at
those
numbers,
which
is
something
as
you
all
can
imagine,
is
difficult
to
do
with
a
number
of
responsibilities
that
are
as
sort
of
distractions
throughout
the
day.
So
that's
one
higher
that
I
think,
would
be
key
in
the
near
term.
S
Thank
you
and
then.
Lastly,
I
may
have
this
out
of
order,
but
my
memory
of
the
the
largest
producers
of
climate
change
costs,
causing
gases
and
hazards
are,
I
think,
in
this
order,
buildings
right
our
built
infrastructure,
then
traffic,
then
our
you
know
agriculture.
Our
food
consumption,
particularly
meat,
is
that
correct
is
that
the
top
three.
W
U
S
S
S
I
think
about
some
of
the
codes
that
we
could
be
changing
to
de-incentivize
driving
and
to
incentivize
folks
using
public
transportation,
and
I
I
think
charging
for
parking
right
is
is
maybe
a
thing
that
induces
folks
to
consider
other
modes
of
transportation,
building,
less
infrastructure
for
cars,
incentivizes
folks
to
use
alternative
modes
of
transportation,
and
then,
alternatively,
instead
of
building
that
infrastructure
for
parking
building
infrastructure
for
biking
and
in
other
modes,
and
so
I'm
hoping
that
that
that
that
is
something
we
can
take
up.
S
I
think
that's
low-hanging
fruit
to
start
looking
at
our
parking
requirements
and
the
impact
that
they
have
on
in
in
on
that
17
of
of
our
climate
emissions
here
and
then
and
then
lastly,
I'll
ask
because
it's
something
I'm
really
interested
in
which
is
moving
to
no
longer
allow
for
gas
hookups
for
natural
grass,
gas,
hookups
and
new
buildings.
And
what
impact
do
you
think
if
we
were
to
ban
that
you
know
now?
S
W
A
very
significant
impact
on
our
emissions
portfolio,
something
that
staff
considers
with
a
decision
like
that
is
what
the
impact
would
be
on.
The
development
community,
as
well
as
on
our
existing
infrastructural
load
related
to
the
electricity
grid,
and
so
we
are
considering
thinking
through
proposals
like
that.
But
certainly
communicating
about
them
to
the
public
is
extremely
important.
X
Yeah
just
first
wanted
to
shout
out
all
the
you
know
this.
There
was
a
mostly
volunteer
effort
that
came
up
with
the
with
the
cart
plan
and
goals
and
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
as
an
example
of
what
a
a
pretty
large
group
of
volunteers
are
capable
of
here
in
evanston,
but
in
any
town,
and
so
you
know
it's
off
to
everybody
that
came
together.
X
I
also
want
to
appreciate
that
you
really
laid
it
out
plainly.
Sometimes
these
discussions
can
go
over
folks,
heads
and,
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
not
only
it's
discussed
at
a
level
that
that
we
can
understand
and
contend
with,
but
that
our
broader
diverse
community
can
quickly
understand
as
they're
going
about
their
day
and
don't
have
time
to
do
all
the
extraneous.
X
And
you
know
research,
and
so
I
appreciate
you
just
laying
it
out
plainly
and
you
know
to
to
kind
of
double
down
with
what
council
marie
was
really
getting
at
is
is
also
I
want
you
to
know
and
and
if,
if
my
colleagues
remain
silent,
then
that's
that's
consent,
but
that,
in
from
my
opinion,
like
you're
here
to
let
us
know
what
we
need
to
do
right
and,
and
you
have
full
charge
as
far
as
I
feel,
to
lay
it
out
plainly
and
let
us
know
what
we
need
to
do
no
matter,
and
I
and
I
think,
no
matter
how
dramatic
and
to
be
honest,
based
on
what
we
just
saw,
the
dramatic
the
more
dramatic
the
policy
change,
the
better
really
at
this
point,
and
so
I
just
I
want
to
let
you
know
that,
because
I
don't
I
don't
you
know,
I
don't
know
if
that's
always
communicated
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
big
governments,
and
so
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
I
think
this
body
really
is
looking
at
you
to
say
look.
X
This
is
what
it
is,
and
it's
our
job
then,
to
really
back
and
to
make
adjustments
and
ask
questions,
but
you
know
but
but
but
I
think,
the
the
more
dramatic
at
this
point,
the
better.
We
really
would
need
to
know
what
changes
are
going
to
get
us
to
the
biggest
bang
for
our
buck.
On
that
note,
I'm
very
curious
to
know
you
know
out
of
the
100
million
whatever
it
was
dollars
that
we
need
to
raise.
X
Do
we
have
some
sense
and-
and-
and
I
would
like
my
colleagues
to
chime
in
if
you
know,
but
if
everything
goes
great
with
the
federal
government
getting
help
from
them
in
the
state,
do
we
know
where
that
leaves
us?
What
would
we
need
to
you
know
to
put
in
this
into
this,
to,
to
you
know,
come
up
with
100
million
or
whatever
it
is.
Do
we
have
some
sense
based
on
current
legislation,
that's
being
discussed
on
the
federal
state
government.
W
The
current
legislation,
that's
being
discussed,
could
help
us
make
really
dramatic
differences
in
the
short
term
in
perhaps
the
next
three
to
five
years,
and
that's,
of
course,
contingent
upon
us
receiving
grants
that
we
would
apply
for
to
be
able
to
do
some
of
these
projects.
But
I
think
something
that
also
needs
to
be
considered
is
the
calls
that
we
get
as
staff
from
residents
who
are
asking
for
incentives.
X
W
There's
some
funding,
I
my
personal
sense,
is
that
there's
still
a
reliance
on
loan
products
at
the
federal
level
which,
as
you
all
can
understand,
are
more
burdensome
to
manage
at
the
municipal
level
than
something
like
a
grant
program.
And
so
what
we've
been
emphasizing
through
the
one-stop
shop
and
through
the
low-income
solar
program
is
to
focus
on
directly
giving
money
for
those
programs
instead
of
setting
up
a
loan
that
has
interest
or
no
interest
or
just
something
that
has
to
be
managed
by
staff
over
time.
X
Okay
and
then
lastly,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
that
I'm
someone
when
I,
when
I
see
similar
work
being
done,
I'd
like
to
bring
those
two
things
together
when
possible,
and
so
there's
two
areas
that
I'm
a
lot
of
layers.
I'm
focused
on,
but
two
related
to
this
discussion
is
the
establishment
of
the
one-stop
shop
on
one
end
and
then
also
another
emergency
is
which
is
our
housing
crisis,
people
unable
to
afford
to
live
here,
and
so
I'd
like
to
bring
those
two
together,
and
I
think
one
way
to
do.
X
That's
the
same
activity
that
we'll
need
to
do
when
we
establish
the
one-stop
shop
and,
to
be
honest,
it's
the
same
in
a
lot
of
ways:
it's
the
same
population,
and
so
I
know
we
have
some
meetings
you
know
set
up
to
to
discuss
that
further,
but
I
just
wanted
to
to
outline
that
quickly
to
my
colleagues,
because
that's
something
that
that
I'll
be
bringing
back
at
some
point.
Thank
you.
V
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
thank
you,
council,
member,
reed
and
councilmember
burns
for
saying
a
lot
of
what
I
would
have
said
anyway.
So
I'm
glad
we
are,
you
know
presenting
hopefully
a
unanimous
front
on
the
importance
of
climate
action
at
the
local
level.
Here
I
want
to
add
to
your
one
of
the
first
slides
you
showed
here
we
can.
We
must
I'm
going
to
say
we
will
we're
going
to
do
this
like
we're
committed
to
doing
this.
You
know
I'm
committed
to
doing
this.
V
I
hope
my
colleagues
will
join
me
in
sharing
that
commitment,
so
we
are
going
to
do
this.
It's
not
a
question
of
if,
but
it's
a
question
of
how,
how
fast
exactly?
How
are
we
going
to
get
there?
How
are
we
going
to
afford
it?
These
are
all
you
know,
really
important
questions
to
ask
and
we
don't
have
answers
to
all
of
these
questions
at
this
point.
This
is
going
to
be
a
multi-year
process.
V
I
think
you're
very
right
in
pointing
out
that
it's
been
easy.
So
far
we
haven't
asked
the
community
to
really
change
any
behavior.
We've
made
it
easy
for
the
community
to
literally
do
nothing
and
benefit
from
renewable
energy
coming
through
renewable
energy
credits
by
the
aggregation
program.
It's
important
that
we
continue
to
do
that,
but
if
we
are
going
to
get
to
our
zero
carbon
by
2050
goal,
the
work
is
going
to
get
harder.
V
We
are
going
to
have
to
ask
more
of
the
community,
and,
and
so
what
is
the
city's
role
in
in
this?
The
city
can
certainly
lead
by
example.
I
think
we're
doing
that
with
our
you
know,
municipal
zero
carbon
plan
and
we
can
play
a
leading
role,
but
let's
take
the
city
of
evanston
capital,
c
city
of
evanston,
the
government
of
ephesus
and
take
that
those
greenhouse
gas
emissions
completely
off
the
table.
That's
a
drop
in
the
bucket!
V
What's
really
important
here
is
the
small
c
city
of
evans
and
the
community
of
evanston,
and
this
city
government
can
help
set
the
table
by
raising
the
bar
on
energy
efficiency
requirements,
building
requirements,
perhaps
providing
some
incentives.
But
it's
really
going
to
come
down
to
community
members
residents,
businesses,
organizations
in
evanston,
taking
this
commitment
seriously
and
doing
the
work
that
that
they
need
to
do
to
get
there.
V
And
so
I
want
to
stress
the
importance
of
community
commitment
here,
and
the
city's
role
is,
you
know,
should
be
to
foster
that
that
that
communication-
and
you
know-
allow
for
some
allow
for
feedback
from
community
organizations,
but
we're
not
going
to
get
to
where
we
need
to
go
if
everybody
is
not
pulling
in
the
same
direction.
City
has
a
role,
but
this
is
not
something
that
the
city
can
accomplish
alone.
So
I'll
have
more
to
say
on
the
on
the
next
agenda
item.
But
thanks
for
now.
A
Seeing
that
no
one
else
is
requesting
to
speak,
will
the
clerk?
Please
call
the
role.
B
Y
S
A
Y
So
I
took
the
liberty
of
preparing
a
few
remarks,
because
this
is
a
really
historic
moment
I
think
for
for
evanston
and
the
city
council.
I'm
really
heartened
by
the
enthusiasm
of
my
colleagues
in
response
to
cara
pratt's
presentation
about
where
we
are
with
carp
and
and
the
big
road
ahead
of
us.
But
I
want
to
talk
briefly
about
my
my
late
father-in-law
roger
revell.
Y
He
talked
about
the
perils
of
continuing
to
burn
fossil
fuels
and
the
con
and
the
consequences
that
would
have
for
life
on
our
planet.
If
we
did
not
do
that,
if
we
did
not
stop
that
so
in
1957,
for
example,
he
told
congressional
leaders
it
is
fairly
easy
to
predict
that
the
carbon
dioxide
content
of
the
atmosphere
could
easily
increase
by
about
20
percent.
Y
Y
Y
Y
Photos
of
devastating
floods,
raging,
wildfires
and
melting
ice
sheets
show
us
a
warming
world
in
crisis,
and
the
climate
emergency
resolution
before
us
this
evening
paints
a
very
clear
picture
of
what
is
in
store
for
illinois
and
for
evanston,
but
we
have
not
only
the
ability
we
here
in
evanston
to
recognize
the
threat
that
climate
change
poses
for
our
community.
We
have
the
imagination
to
envision
a
more
sustainable
future.
Y
By
adopting
this
resolution,
we
will
renew
our
commitment
to
taking
the
action
and
in
the
speed
and
the
scale
that
the
climate
emergency
requires
and
thereby
secure
a
sustainable,
resilient
and
healthy
future
for
generations
of
evanstonians
to
come,
and
I
encourage
my
colleagues
to
support
wholeheartedly
the
resolution.
I
have
a
pretty
strong
feeling
that
they
will
do
so,
but
I
turn
it
over
to
them
for
comments
now.
V
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
councilmember
revell
took
her
comments
back
to
1959,
I
believe
or
thereabouts.
I
will
go
back
to
the
mid
1980s,
I'm
not
sure
the
exact
year,
and
I
just
I
want
to
recognize
the
students
that
showed
up,
foster
and
emmett.
Thank
you
guys
for
being
here
and
raising
raising
your
concern.
V
It
goes
back
even
beyond
you
know,
even
further
back
than
when
I
was
in
high
school,
so
we
are
today
where
we
should
have
been
a
year
ago,
two
years
ago,
10
years
ago,
20
years
ago.
That's
not
the
point.
The
point
is
moving
forward.
You
know,
starting
today
we
are
recommitting
to
the
goal
of
zero
carbon
by
2050,
acknowledging
its
importance
at
the
local
level,
and
hopefully
what
we
do
here
will
be
reflected
in
other
communities
around
the
country
and
other
communities
around
the
world.
V
I'll
also
point
out
that
we're
not
doing
this
alone.
Evanson
is
not
a
a
a
an
energy
island.
We're
not
an
emissions
island.
We're
not
a
policy
island,
we're
not
a
funding
island,
so
we're
doing
everything
we
can
here
at
the
local
level
to
get
ahead
of
this
problem,
but
we
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
get
there
unless
action
happens
at
the
state
level
at
the
national
level
as
well.
V
So
I
am
certainly
hoping
that
everybody
who's
advocating
here
at
the
local
level
will
also
you
know,
continue
to
advocate
at
the
state
and
federal
level
as
well.
Just
want
to
point
out
a
couple
of
things.
The
climate
emergency
resolution
makes
carp
implementation,
an
official
goal
of
the
city
council
and
is
also
committing
us
to
a
bi-annual
report,
similar
to
what
we
just
received
from
kara.
V
We'll
also
be
getting
an
update
in
october,
and
I
think
that
is
very
timely,
because
that
will
put
carp
implementation
at
the
front
of
our
minds
at
the
center
of
our
radar
screens.
As
we
go
into
the
budget
discussion
for
the
following
year,
because
we
know
this
is
going
to
cost
money
last
budget
cycle,
we
took
a
a
tentative
step
forward
and
created
a
climate
action
fund.
That's
a
line
on
paper.
There's
a
fund
number
with
zero
dollars
in
it,
but
bureaucracy
sometimes
moves
slowly
step.
V
One
create
the
fund
step,
two,
let's
figure
out
where
to
get
some
money
from
so
you
spoke
to
the
necessity
of
being
creative
about
funding
and
looking
forward
to
future
conversations
about
that.
So
I
wholeheartedly
endorse
the
concept
of
of
the
climate
emergency,
especially
since
it's
paired
with
a
22
concrete
steps
we're
committing
to
taking
this
year,
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
was
involved
in
making
this
happen.
V
The
community
members
of
the
environment
board
thanks
wendy
and
jerry,
and
everyone
involved
in
the
climate
implementation
of
the
carp,
implementation
task
force
and
our
friends
at
citizens,
greener,
evanston
and
environmental
justice,
evanston
frustrated,
but
optimistic,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
less
frustrated
and
more
optimistic.
Now
after
this
vote
passes.
So
thanks
everybody
for
being
part
of
this
and
we're
going
to
need
your
continued
cooperation.
S
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
add
my
voice
to
say
thank
you
to
the
folks
who
are
leading
us.
The
students,
our
folks,
have
been
leading
us
for
a
long
time.
S
Our
new
council
members
are
again
council
members
who
have
been
leading
us
for
a
long
time.
I'm
I'm
excited
about
this,
I'm
in
full
support.
I'm
also
excited
you
know.
Councilmember
nussma
mentioned
the
climate
action
fund,
I'm
hoping
that
one
of
the
first
steps
we
can
take
to
bolster
that
fund
is.
We
have
a
referral
that
I
made
a
while
ago
that
should
be
coming
back
before
it's
pretty
soon.
S
They
would
add,
if
passed,
it
would
add
a
fee
to
our
will
tax
that
would
produce
over
the
course
of
a
term,
possibly
a
million
dollars
of
money
for
the
climate
action
fund
and,
as
councilmember
newman
said,
all
of
these
goals
are
going
to
take
money
to
implement
and
I'm
excited
about
getting
started
on
the
process
of
figuring
out
actual
funding
sources
for
our
climate
action
plan.
So
looking
forward
to
backing
it
up
with
some
real
funds.
A
A
A
V
A
Y
Item
p1
was
tabled
in
committee.
Z
A
Z
A
S
A13
has
also
been
removed
from
the
consent
agenda
it's
held
in
committee.
I.
A
A
S
A
A
V
T
A
Council
member
newsman
moves
item
eight
two
every
one
seconds,
but
I
heard
councilmember
braithwaite
the
clearest.
Is
there
any
discussion
council
member
reid.
S
I
have
raised
issues
about
this
contractor,
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
it.
I
would
like
us
to
look
into
how
we
can
get
more
local
contractors
and
contractors
who.
S
Are
better
corporate
citizens
if
you
will
so
I'll
just
be
voting
against
this?
That's
all.
A
A
S
AA
So
so
I'm
inclined
for
the
record
to
to
go
along
with
the
mayor's
original
ruling.
However,
council
member
reed's
point
is
well
taken,
which
means
the
vote
on
the
consent
agenda
would
be
completely
void
anyway,
because
it
included
an
item
that
was
out
of
order.
So,
okay.
A
So
then
that's
then
we
can,
we
can
sort
of
have
it
both
ways.
The
chair,
having
come
back
to
his
senses,
rules
everything
that
happened
on
the
consent
agenda
out
of
order
and
would
now
entertain
a
new
motion
on
a
consent
agenda
with
an
additional
deletion
of
item
a
twelve.
Would
someone
try
to
make
that
motion
so.
A
So,
council
member,
I
don't
even
know
who
I
think,
nussma
moved
the
consent
agenda.
Sorry,
customer
braithwaite
move
the
consent
agenda
except
for
items:
a2,
a12,
a13,
a22,
a23,
p1,
p2,
h1
and
f1
council
member
read
seconds.
Is
there
any
discussion
seeing
none
with
the
clerk?
Please
call
the
role
in
this.
This.
A
Okay,
on
that
improved
consent,
agenda
vote,
there's
seven
voting
in
favor,
nonvoting
against
and
the
improved
consent
agenda
passes.
This
brings
us
to
item
812.
council
member
burns.
Would
you
like
to
move
that
we
suspend
the
rules
to
enable
a
vote
for
introduction
and
action
to
occur
simultaneously
tonight.
A
U
A
A
A
Seven
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
the
motion
passes
and
ordinance.
33-0-22
has
been
passed.
Sorry
for
that
mess
up.
On
my
end,
this
brings
us
now
to
item
a22.
V
S
A
Council
member
braithwaite
moves
adoption
of
ordinance,
16-0-22
councilmember
reid
seconds.
Is
there
any
discussion?
We
begin
with
council
member
reed,
followed
by
nusmo.
V
S
Yeah,
I
I
also
wanted
to
make
a
motion
to
hold
this
edge
of
truck
route
on
custer
avenue
running
through
the
eighth
ward
and
have
a
ward
meeting
this
this
week,
and
I
want
to
have
a
discussion
with
the
eighth
ward
about
this.
S
A
A
All
right
so
council
member
newsman,
moves
to
hold
item.
A22
council
member
reads
seconds
so
with
the
motion
in
a
second,
the
hold
occurs.
Unless
there's
a
motion
to
overturn
the
hold,
is
there
a
motion
to
overturn
the
hold
seeing
none
the
hold
holds,
and
we
move
on
to
item
a23
with
the
understanding
that
item
a22
ordnance
16-0-22
will
be
on
the
agenda
two
weeks
from
today,
which
I
think
is
maybe
may
10th.
I
don't
know
the
future.
A
V
I'll
move
item:
a
23,
ordinance,
29-0-22
amending
the
city
code,
title
four
building
regulations
and
title
five
housing
regulations,
and
this
is
to
adopt
the
latest
editions
of
the
international
code
council
model
codes,
including
plumbing
fire
and
building
codes.
I
believe
second.
A
Z
So
I
would
just
like
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
the
impact
of
this.
After
hearing
public
comment
from
miss
payton,
I
I
don't
fully
understand
how
this
impacts-
our
landlords,
if
somebody
could
just
address
that,
because
I
heard
some
there
was
concern
expressed
about
this
not
going
through
the
subcommittee
that
I
chair
on
housing.
So
I
want
to
you
know
fully
understand
if,
in
fact,
this
should
have
been,
this
should
have
been
something
that
should
have
gone
to
the
housing
subcommittee.
AC
Thank
you
good
evening,
johanna
naden
community
development
director,
the
city
updates
its
building
code
on
a
certain
interval.
So
ours
has
been
a
nine
year
update
the
pandemic
delayed
us
a
little
bit
so
we're
doing
it
the
update
now
this
would
not
have
gone
to
any
subcommittee.
It
comes
to
administration
and
public
works.
We
the
last
one.
We
did
predates
my
tenure
in
this
position,
but
it
it
updates.
AC
Building
codes
need
to
be
updated.
New
building
technologies
are
available.
The
most
noteworthy
one
in
this
update
is
some
of
the
climate
action
and
resiliency
items
that
have
made
major
improvements
in
terms
of
building
science
and
those
are
incorporated
into
this
this
code.
So
when
somebody
fills
out
a
building
permit,
they
have
to
then
implicitly
follow
the
the
updated
building
code.
Z
AC
New
construction,
but
if
there's
an
addition,
or
if
I'm
just
trying
to
think
of
something
off
the
top
of
my
head,
I
am
not
the
building
official,
but
if
there's
something,
maybe
with
the
mechanical
code
or
hvac
or
plumbing
code,
they
might
have
to
update
if
they're
doing
that
work,
but
they
don't
have
to
update
their
building.
Now
that
we
have
a
new
building
code.
This
is
not
something
like
you
have
to
come
into
compliance
with
something
new,
okay,.
Z
A
Is
there
a
council
member,
oh
I'm,
sorry,
councilmember
newsman,
followed
by
revell.
V
Yeah,
so
just
to
clarify
this
would
only
apply
in
in
the
case
that
somebody
would
go
in
and
apply
for
a
building
permit,
whether
that's
an
addition,
renovation
or
new
construction.
This
isn't
doesn't
it
doesn't
affect
anybody
who's
not
doing
anything
right.
None.
V
It'll
be
awesome
if
you
did
okay
go
for
it,
but
it's
not
required,
and
I
will
say
that
this
very
item
that
we
are
about
to
vote
on
now.
We
just
said
five
minutes
ago
that
we
were
going
to
vote
on.
This
is
item
number
five
on
our
on
our
action
plan.
So
let's
I'm
looking
forward
to
crossing
some
stuff
off
crossing
some
to-do
items
off
of
our
list
right
away.
Y
Oh
I'm
on
the
same
wavelength
with
council
member
newsmen.
Basically,
we've
been
waiting
for
the
ability
to
up
to
update
our
codes
to
match
the
international
updated
codes
because
they
are
going
to
be
very
helpful
with
our
efforts
to
move
forward
with
our
climate
action
plan.
In
addition
to
just
improving
our
building
stock
in
general,.
X
I've
paid
close
attention
to
the
tarp
use
restrictions
and
the
building
contact
information
with
the
the
last
one
being
as
it
relates
to
this
discussion
and
the
important
ones.
So
is
that
something
that
they
property
owners
will
need
to
do
now,
or
only
when
they
make
changes
when
something's
modified
on
the
property.
AC
Yes,
they
would
have
to.
They
would
have
to
update
that
so
and
usually
we've
given
you
know,
when
we've
made
those
kinds
of
changes
we've,
you
know
we
have
a
database
of
the
people
who
are
landlords
registered
rental
units.
We
can
communicate
that
out
and
you
know
generally
we've
given
grace
periods
for
something
like
that,
but
that
can
that's
a
lot.
X
X
A
Z
So
I
hadn't
planned
to
pull
this,
but
this
evening
was
the
sort
of
the
confluence
of
this
item,
plus
that
we
are
voting
to
declare
that
we
voted
to
declare
a
climate
emergency
as
well
as
moving
forward
on
our
carp
implementation
plan.
Z
I
just
really
wanted
to
stop
and
express
one
my
excitement
for
this
project,
but
also
praise
the
developer
for
for
moving
forward
with
a
plan
of
adaptive,
reuse
of
these
beautiful
historic
buildings
on
sherman
avenue,
and
you
know,
in
the
words
of
carl
elefante,
the
former
president
of
the
american
institute
of
architects.
As
we
all
know,
the
greenest
building
is
the
one
that
already
exists,
and
I
think
we
should
do
a
lot
more
of
this.
Looking
to
adaptive.
Z
Reuse
is
a
very
important
means
also
of
reducing
emissions
and
and
moving
forward
with
our
plan.
So
I'm
very
excited
about
this,
this
this
project
on
sherman
avenue
to
develop
the
pedestrian
alleyway
and,
with
the
you
know,
these
lovely
cherished
legacy
heritage
businesses
that
already
exist
there
in
combination
with
the
development
of
the
alleyway
and
the
varsity
theater.
I
think
this
is
very
exciting
and
I
think
it
dovetails
really
nicely
with
our
other
green
initiatives
this
evening.
So
thank
you.
U
A
Y
I'd
like
to
move
ordinance,
19-0-22
amending
portions
of
the
city
code,
9-5-20
noise
is
prohibited.
This
is
for
introduction.
S
A
Y
So
I
removed
this
from
the
agenda
because
there
there
are
several
several
parts
that
are
being
amended
and
if
you
look
at
page
434
of
your
packet,
there
is
one
there
is
an.
There
is
an
additional
amendment
that
was
not
actually
considered
and
voted
on
at
human
services.
So
I'm
I'm
needing
to
amend,
amend
this
proposed
ordinance
to
add
this
additional
amendment
and
what
it
does
is
it
remove.
Y
It
would
delete
language
sounds
animals
or
things
which
interfere
with
the
peace
or
comfort
or
disturb
the
quiet
enjoyment
of
any
person
in
the
city,
and
this
corporation
council
flagged
us
because
it's
another
phrase:
that's
in
our
code,
that's
very
subjective
and
is
difficult
to
enforce
fairly
in
the
city.
So
at
his
suggestion
we
were
going
to
add
this
amendment
to
to
the
noise
noise
ordinance
amendments
it
it.
Y
AA
Just
just
put
it
simply:
the
law
department
staff
overzealously
included
this
version
of
the
ordinance
in
the
packet.
This
is
the
version
that
needed
to
be
properly
presented
in
two
weeks
after
the
amendment
had
been
made
to
include
what
is
now
section
three
in
the
ordinance
section.
Three
in
the
ordinance
would
be
something
that
would
have
been
added,
but
it
was
not
included
with
in
terms
of
what
passed
out
of
human
services
at
the
beginning
of
april.
AA
AA
AA
A
A
So
so
I,
in
that
case,
we
do
actually
have
it
in
writing.
Council
ravel's
motion
is
to
harmonize
the
the
item
in
fact
before
us,
with
what
the
packet
to
make
it
match
what
the
packet
already.
A
So
let
me
just
let's
put
that
out
so
council
member
ravel
makes
the
motion
to
align
the
ordinance
before
the
before
us
with.
What's
in
the
packet
council
member
new
smith
seconds,
go
ahead
and
customer
read.
S
AA
AA
The
amendments
that
came
out
of
committee
were,
for
example,
in
section
2
of
the
ordinance
number
five.
It's
on
page
434
of
the
packet
number
section,
two
number
five,
where
it
talks
about
exemptions.
AA
It
used
to
read
that
f2,
I'm
sorry
back
up,
organizations,
businesses
or
similar
entities
that
have
obtained
a
special
event
permit
approved
by
the
city
council,
are
exempt
from
subsection,
f2
and
f4
the
subsection
that
was
actually
amended
at
committee
to
say
just
f2.
AA
So
that
is
before
the
council
appropriately,
because
that
was
amended
at
help
at
human
services.
AB
A
AB
AB
A
V
A
All
right,
I
don't
see
any
further
discussion,
but
I
do
see
some
quizzical
body
language,
so
I
don't
want
to
force
a
vote.
While
people
still
have
questions.
Are
there
any
questions
on
the
amendment.
A
Okay,
seeing
none
with
the
cliff,
please
call
the
role
on
councilmember
revell's
proposed
amendment.
AB
AB
U
A
A
So
now
we
can
proceed
to
a
discussion
on
the
amended
ordinance.
The
first
person
in
line
is
council
member
reed.
S
Yes,
thank
you.
I
am.
S
As
it
is
drafted
now,
I
am
not
in
support
of
this
ordinance
part
of
the
discussion
as
as
I
recall,
we
we
did,
and
this
is
why
I
think
we
need
to
actually
start
making
motions,
because
I
I
very
clearly
stated
at
the
meeting
that
I
was
willing
to
support
or
more
likely
to
support
a
decibel
level,
far
above
55
decibels.
Again,
as
was
noted
by
one
of
our
public
commenters
normal
conversation.
If
I
were
to
shut.
S
Decibels
and
so
to
say
that
that
noise
level
at
750
feet
is
unacceptable.
S
I
I
I
I
I
find
it
hard
to
to
fully
grasp
and
particularly
if
we're
making
exemptions
for
you
know
certain
institutions
like
northwestern
like
out
of
space
again.
So
I
support
you
know.
I
think
we
need
to
to
look
at
this
ordinance
more
comprehensively
and
and
think
about.
You
know
that,
for
example,
750
feet.
The
fact
that
that
is
the
marker
is
a
fairly
and-
and
I
know
how
we
landed
on
that,
but
and
it's,
but
it's
a
fairly
arbitrary
marker
750
feet.
S
It's
just
that
that
so
happens
to
be
the
distance
from
post
42
to
the
closest
neighbors,
and
so.
S
You
know
I
was
looking
forward
to
potential
demonstration
from
staff
about
you
know
what
65
decibels
is
at
750
feet.
I
think
we
need
to
do
more
to
I,
I
feel
the
neighbors,
but
I
think
we
can
craft
better
policy
to
solve
the
issue
and
I'll
reserve
my
time
for
later.
How
much
time
do
I
have
250.
A
X
Yeah,
I
was
just
going
to
reiterate
what
I've
kind
of
consistently
said
from
the
start.
I
mean
I
ideally
we
front
load
all
of
our
requests,
including
a
request
for
a
demonstration.
I
mean
I'm
happy
to
reluctantly.
You
know
support
this,
but
I
would
much
rather
us
do
it
the
right
way,
which
I
think
is
is
we
should
really
plan
some
of
those
demonstrations
beforehand?
X
I
know
and
and
talking
to
chief
eddington,
I
think
he
said
equipment
would
need
to
be
purchased
and
it's
probably,
I
don't
know
the
cost,
but
it's
probably
worth
doing
just
to
make
sure
we're
getting
this
right,
because
I
I
I
just
I
don't
I,
I
don't
have
faith
that
a
decibel
reader,
especially
any
old
decibel
reader,
not
one,
maybe
one
of
the
more
expensive
ones
I
don't
know,
can
properly
filter
out
ten
different
noises
all
happening
at
the
same
time,
while
trying
to
understand
what
one
in
the
far
off
distance
is
measuring
it.
X
Y
Right,
thank
you.
If
an
organization
has
already
gone
through
the
process
of
getting
a
special
event
permit,
which
also
includes
a
loudspeaker
permit,
they
would
be,
and
that
gets
approved
by
city
council
that
would
be
they'd
be
exempt.
So
that's
the
space
concerts,
for
example,
and
then
educational
institutions.
This
is
thinking
about
northwestern
football
games,
eths
football
games,
etc.
Those
would
be
exempt
as
well.
Z
Y
Z
Okay,
so
we
might
need
to
delineate
that
I
know
in
some
places
cities
as
well
as
states
they're
very
clear
about
what
what
aspects
of
a
university
are
considered,
educational
and
which
ones
are
not.
So
I
think
we
might
need
to
make
that
clear.
So
my
main
issue
with
this
is
community.
I
just
I
feel
like
this
is
going
to
undermine
bringing
community
together.
I
think
it's
so
important
to
encourage
people
to
talk
to
each
other,
and
I
know
I
think,
just
the
first
or
second
week
on
this
job.
Z
As
council
member,
I
got
a
call
from
constituents
who
live
on
the
lakefront,
because
there
was
some
loud
music
on
the
parkway
across
the
street
at
dawes
park,
and
you
know
I
went
over
there
and
talked
with
the
families
and
explained
that
you
know
there's
homeowners
across
the
street
trying
to
sit
out
on
the
porch
and
could
they
turn
the
volume
down
a
little
bit.
Z
It
was
a
little
awkward
for
me,
but
to
me
that
was
so
far
more
preferable
than
having
someone
call
a
police
to
go
over
with
a
decibel
stick
measure
the
decibels
find
find
the
family.
I
just
I
think,
there's
another
way.
We
can
approach
this
and
I'm
I'm
very
concerned
that
this
is
going
to
lead
to
unnecessary
policing
and
also
you
know
our
police
force.
I
mean,
I
just
think
they're
strained
right
now
and
to
add
this
additional
burden
of
figuring
out.
Z
Okay,
there's
a
loud
noise
go
750
feet
away,
let's
see
if
it
measures
55,
which
I
agree
is
also
I'm
not
sure
about
that
sound
level,
I'm
really
being
appropriate.
So
I'd
like
us
to
take
a
pause
on
this,
I
I
just
I
mean
I
live
very
near
northwestern,
there's
constantly
parties
and
noise
and
that's
the
nature
of
where
I
live,
but
if
I
you
know
wanted
to,
I
could
be
I'm
sure
it's
succeeding
all
the
time
that
that
level.
Z
So
I'm
particularly
concerned
about
what
this
will
do
to
community,
I
really
want
to
bring
community
together.
I
do
the
same
thing
with
my
constituents
in
my
ward,
who
have
you
know
student
housing
all
around
to
try
to
have
neighbors
talk
to
each
other
rather
than
call
the
police,
and
so
this
concerns
me
that
we're
moving
in
a
direction.
That's
going
to
put
more
of
a
wrench
between
neighbors
and
community
members
when
I
think
there
are
other
ways
that
we
can
handle
this
to
bring
us
together
in
a
better
way.
V
V
Having
worked
on
similar
issues
on
a
professional
level
when
it
came
to
wind
turbine
noises,
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
quantify
annoyance
and
I
can
understand
the
urge
to
quantify
something
and
because
you
can,
there
is
a
decimal
meter
and
you
can
put
a
number
on
it,
but
it's
it's
hard
to
quantify
how
annoying
something
is
to
somebody.
V
I
can
think
of
examples
that
really
really
great
on
my
nerves,
but
my
wife
thinks
they're
awesome
and
you
know,
and
vice
versa,
when
it
comes
to
sounds
and
and
volumes
and
stuff
like
that.
V
So
if
you
got
to
put
a
number
on,
you
can't
enforce
it
unless
it's
quantifiable
and
there
is
a
number,
but
what
it
really
comes
down
to
is
what
council,
member
kelly
was
saying
is
just
good
neighborliness
and
if
you're
doing
something
that
annoys
a
neighbor,
you
should
stop
if
you're
being
annoyed
by
something
that
a
neighbor
is
doing
just
talk
to
them.
That's
the
that's
the
first.
You
know
line
of
defense
rather
than
calling
the
police
in
and
having
a
phd
testimony
on
on
decibel
measurement.
V
So
I
don't
know
if
I
contributed
anything
to
this
discussion,
but
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Call
that
the.
Y
Y
Y
If
you
were
someone
standing,
750
feet
away
and
talking
specifically
about
the
75
decibels,
that
is
when
post
42
applied
for
its
special
event
permit.
In
2020,
it
stated
that
they
would
maintain
quote
a
volume
under
75
decibels
at
all
times
at
the
back
area
of
the
crowd,
so
they
were
already
committing
to
that
75
decibel
limit
in
2020.

Unfortunately,
it
was
very
difficult
for
them
to
continue
to
really
maintain
that
dusabel
limit,
so
it
was
from
the
for
the
resident's
point
of
view.
It
was
too
loud
and,
and
then
I
guess
the
question
is
well
what
what
does
75
decibels
sound
like
or
what
does
55
decibels
sound
like
so
so
I
looked
up.
You
know
there
are
these
general
kinds
of
examples
that
that
you
can
find
on
the
web
and
a
really
frequent
one
for
what
75
decibels
is.
Y
You
know
if
you,
if
it's
if
it
makes
it
easier
to
put
something
like
this
into
effect
and
say
here's
what
the
decibel
limit
should
be
at
the
loudspeaker
versus
750
feet
away.
That
would
be
I'm.
You
know
that
would
be
fine
as
well
it
just
for
these
residents.
There
just
needs
to
be
some
objective
way
to
determine
when,
when
the
music
is
too
loud
or
not
too
loud,.
S
Thank
you
again.
I
understand
the
problem
that
you
that
we're
trying
to
solve
here
you
know,
but
I
look
at
resources
and
I
see
that
a
dishwasher
can
be
about
80
decibels
and
my
dishwasher
is
certainly
I'm
sure
it's
one
of
those
80
decibel
dishwashers,
and
sometimes
I
hear
my
neighbor's
dishwasher.
S
S
If
a
dishwasher
inside
of
your
house
is
80
decibels,
a
speaker
that
you're
playing
music
for
people
outside
you
know,
I
also
see
here
that
in
that,
if
you're
listening
to
music
in
your
living
room
at
a
reasonable
level,
that
that's
about
76
decibels
and
so
to
say
that
a
speaker,
that's
outside
playing
music
for
people
in
a
large
field,
is
going
to
be
at
the
same
sound
level.
As
your
you
know,
indoor
speaker
in
your
living
room.
I
don't
know.
E
S
The
idea
of
judging
from
the
source,
rather
than
you
know
the
the
you
know
750
feet
out
or
anything
else.
So
I
think
I
I
would
recommend
that
this,
because
this
is
kind
of
a.
I
think
this
council
wants
to
find
a
solution,
and
I
think
this
issue,
because
we're
trying
to
get
it
right
and
we're
not
trying
to
put
out
an
arbitrary
law
that
could
be
adding
to
we
just
talked
about
reparations.
S
We
talked
about
equity
and
all
those
things,
and
so
I
think
we're
trying
to
get
something
that
is
equitable,
that
achieves
the
goal
without
putting
more
undue
burden
on
either
a
police
department
or
residents.
I'd
recommend
that
this
maybe
go
back
to
committee,
and
you
know
we
can
look
at
it
a
little
bit
further.
So
is
that
so
I'll
move
that
we
refer
item
h1
back
to
the
human
services
committee
for
another
reading
to
make
a
few
more
amendments.
AD
A
Thanks
councilmember
reed
moves
that
ordinance
19-0-22
be
re-referred
to
the
human
services
committee
council
member
braithwaite
seconds.
No
is
not
you,
I'm
sorry
counselor
seconds.
A
The
literal
opposite
end
of
the
diocese
shows
what
I
know
before
the
corporation
council
had
a
light
on.
Did
you
want
to
wait
on
this?
I.
AA
Just
wanted
to,
I
was
actually
going
to
try
and
send
it
to
the
council.
I
can't
find
it
right
now,
but
there's
a
there's,
a
a
map
and
part
of
our
city
code.
That
requires
us
to
give
notice
to
neighbors,
particularly
part
of
our
plan
development
notice,
neighbors
within
500
feet,
of
whatever
that
development
is
just
as
an
example,
and
that
this
ordinance
is
750
feet,
which
is
much
greater
and
500
feet
is
usually
covers,
and
I'm
thinking
of
the
the
water
pumping
station
in
james
park
issue.
AA
There
were
several
homes
within
like
two
blocks.
It's
like
two
or
three
blocks
covered
the
500
feet.
So
I'm
trying
to
give
you
an
example.
What
750
feet
is
and
to
use
council
members
example
about
his
dishwasher
being
80
decibels.
If
you
can
hear
councilman
reed's
dishwasher
from
750
feet
away,
that's
what
the
what
the
ordinance
was
written
to
try
and
demonstrate,
and
I
was
actually
trying
to
find
the
gis
map
to
sort
of
send
to
the
council.
AA
AE
U
A
V
A
S
Oh,
I
thought
I
saw
a
reach
all
right.
Well
then
I
will
go
ahead
yeah,
so
I
have.
S
I
have
a
number
of
issues
with
this.
We
discussed
this
in
the
finance
and
budget
committee
a
week
or
two
ago
a
few
weeks
ago,
and
there
were
a
lot
of
concerns
raised.
Then
the
director
has
desai
walked
us
through
a
number
of
the
issues
and
my
main
concern
was
you
look
at
this
and
there's
some
positives
right,
there's
a
positive
that
we
are
30
million
dollars
over
where
we
thought
we
would
be
correct,
so
we're
30
million
over
what
we
thought.
S
We
would
be
that's
great
news,
but
we
also
went
over
budget
11
million
dollars
which
had
we
not
been
in
a
position
where
we
were
30
million
dollars
over.
This
would
be
quite
concerning
for
for
our
finances
and
then,
when
I
dug
deeper
into
it,
we
we
went
through
most
of
the
items
and
we
saw
that
the
majority
of
it
was
approved
by
the
council.
S
So
you
know
millions
of
dollars
were
approved
by
this
body
at
some
point,
and
you
know
that
if
we,
if
we
approve
things
that
went
over
budget,
that
falls
on
us
and
that's
our
responsibility
in
my
opinion,
but
there
still
remain.
S
You
know
three
three
and
a
half,
maybe
even
four
million
dollars
of
items
that
the
council
did
not
approve,
and
I
am
aware
of
situations
where
employees,
particularly
employees
of
color,
have
been
disciplined
for
going
over
budget
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
so,
if
we're
disciplining
folks
for
going
over
hundred
thousand
dollars
going
over
three
million
dollars
without
council
approval
seems
extremely
problematic
to
me.
And
so
I
guess
my
first
question
for
corporation
council
is.
S
Is
it's
my
understanding
and
I
think
this
is
a
fairly
basic
understanding
of
municipal
government
that
all
appropriations?
Of
course,
we've
allowed
appropriations
up
to
25
000
to
be
approved
by
the
city
manager.
But
appropriations
over
25
000
must
be
approved
by
the
council.
Is
that
a
correct
understanding
of
our
form
of
government.
AA
Not
completely,
the
city
has
an
ordinance
that
authorizes
the
city
manager
to
let
contracts
for
goods
and
services
for
25,
000
or
less,
but
the
appropriation
law
of
the
state
state
statute
for
appropriation
just
dictates
that
the
city
council
can
appropriate
funds
in
various
different
fund.
Buckets
like
we
have
a
general
fund,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
but
how
those
dollars
are
spent
within
that
can
be
done
in
various
different
ways.
AA
AA
S
Okay,
I
will
give
you
those
examples
in
two
seconds:
if
someone
else
has
questions
or
if
you
just
want
to
hold
my
time,
for
example,
I
can
give
you
one
that
was
not
approved
by
the
city
council
off
the
top
of
my
head
there's
in
the
memo
that
was
sent
to
us
in
the
city
manager's
office.
There
was
several
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
payouts
for
in
benefit
payouts
to
folks
who
have
departed
from
the
city,
and
the
council
did
not
approve
those
so
there's
at
least
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
there.
X
S
AA
I
mean
we
have
our
cfo
here,
I'm
not
exactly
sure
how
a
check
gets
cut
on
the
city
without
it
being
approved
on
the
bills
list
by
apw.
AE
Good
evening
mayor
members
of
the
city
council,
so
yeah,
let's
have
the
clarification
here
and
again
I
don't
know
whether
mayor
or
the
city
council,
you
want
me
to
go
through
the
presentation
first
or
just
kind
of
continue
on
the
subject
which
council
member
reed
has
brought
up.
A
AE
I
mean
you
would
notice
here
like
11.5.
Yes,
I
heard,
even
in
the
public
comments
that
your
city
spent
11.5
4.8
million,
are
performed
when
we
did
the
budget
for
2021
in
october
of
2020
november
approved.
We
never
knew
about
arpa
that
we
will
get
this
money
and
obviously
these
items
were
approved
by
the
council,
the
other
big
item,
3.8
million
dollars
in
debt
service
fund.
It
is
an
accounting
treatment
when
we
refinance
the
bonds.
AE
The
bonds
which
were
paid
off
are
treated
as
an
expense
from
the
accounting
standpoint.
So
we
have
to
report
here.
If
you
look
at
my
presentation
and
I'll
bring
it
up
in
the
later,
you
would
see
the
revenues
in
debt
service
went
higher
by
over
four
million
dollars
because
we
got
almost
700
000
in
savings
from
refunding.
So
this
is
just
an
accounting.
So
that's
like
80
of
that
11.
AE
The
other
thing
which
I
think
the
corporation
council
coming
said
anything
about
25
000.
You
know
it
comes
to
the
city
council,
so
even
when
you
say
that
in
city
manager's
office,
whether
it's
a
termination
payout,
the
contract
is
approved
by
the
city
council
and
some
of
the
other
things
which
I
had
explained
in
the
detail
at
the
finance
and
budget
committee.
AE
Why
we
were
over
because
we
were
like
a
little
conservative
on
special
service
areas
and
we
budgeted
less
revenue,
and
so
we
budgeted
the
same
way
less
expenditure
when
we
got
the
more
revenues
under
the
contract
adopted
by
the
city
council
in
the
past,
with
the
special
service
areas
that
whatever
property
tax
revenue
comes
in,
you
have
to
share
with
us.
So
we
got
more
revenues
and
we
shared
more
with
them
and
obviously
went
over
as
you
see
some
of
them
here
in
the
special
service
area.
AE
Six:
seven
like
that
in
the
parking
system
same
thing,
some
of
those
things
which
went
over
because
of
the
kind
of
a
bigger
capital
projects
which
came
to
the
city
council
for
the
approval
and
the
police
pension.
I
mean
I
mentioned
again:
we
don't
have
the
control
city
council
doesn't
have
pension
board,
approves
these,
but
three
employees,
three
police
officers
left
and
went
to
the
other
cities
and
under
the
state
pension
act
we
have
to
transfer
the
contributions
with
the
interest
to
those
communities
where
they
went.
AE
So
we
had
almost
three
police
officers
for
which
we
paid
around
600
000
to
the
other
community.
So
these
are
the
some
of
the
general
ideas,
so
the
sense
that
okay
city
council
never
approved
anything
or
some
of
those
unauthorized
or
yes.
Obviously,
if
it's
like
something,
five
grand
ten
thousand
dollars,
which
is
falls
within
the
what
you
call
the
city,
manager's
power
that
has
must
have
been
taken,
but
any
other
contracts
which
are
required
to
come
to
here.
AE
Services
supplies
whatever
that
have
come
to
the
council
and,
as
I
mentioned
again,
I
would
talk
about
the
arpa
and
debt
service,
one
which
accounts
for
80
percent
of
that
thing
after
I,
when
we
had
this
discussion,
even
though
I
talked
to
the
auditors
a
few
times,
you
know,
after
the
conversation
with
the
finance
and
budget
committee,
and
they
said
some
of
those
communities.
Don't
do
that.
You
know
we
would
simply
kind
of
put
a
note
in
our
your
audit
report
that
these
are
the
funds
which
exit
budget,
but
the
city
evanston.
Z
So
I
understand
you
know
that
the
suggestion
is
that
we
approved
all
these,
although
I
don't
recall
being
informed
that
this
is
something
urgent,
unexpected
that's
come
up
and
we
need
to
exceed
budget
in
this
fund
and
that's
what
was
lacking
and
I
feel
like
it's
a
little
bit
like
uninformed
consent
right.
We
go
forward
because
there
are
a
lot
of
things.
Z
For
example,
I
feel
very
strongly
that
we
fund
our
pension
obligation
at
100
and
had
maybe
you
know-
and
I
know
we're
going
over
budget
here,
but
maybe
it
wasn't
that
urgent,
maybe
there's
something
else
that
we
felt
was
more
origin
to
go
over
budget.
I
just
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we're
we're
always
informed
if
this
is
exceeding
budget
so
that
we
can
properly
make
that
decision.
Z
I
would
like
to
ask
that
staff
figure
it
out
so
that
when
you
want
to
go
over
budget
or
you
feel
a
need
to
go
over
budget,
it's
something
urgent,
that
it's
explicitly
stated
each
time
each
and
every
time
that
this
will
be
an
expenditure
over
budget,
because,
for
example,
what
council
member
reid
mentioned
with
the
420
000
and
over
budgeted
payouts
for
termination
are
for
I'm
sorry
for
separation
that
this
was
in
the
bills
pay
list,
so
that
that
suggests
to
me
now
that
I
need
to
go
through
all
those
little
tiny
items
and
say:
ask
if
each
one
is
exceeding
budget,
and
I
don't
think
it
should
be
that
way
and
for
my
inquiries
just
generally
with
a
few
other
communities.
Z
It's
not
that
way.
So
I
would
like
to
ask
that
going
forward.
I'm
absolutely.
We
are
always
a
prize
because
I'd
like
to
have
the
option
to
say
you
know
it's
much
more
urgent
to
put
two
million
dollars
towards
a
hundred
percent
towards
our
pension,
for
example,
obligations.
So
that
we're
at
a
hundred
percent
we've
seen
it
ballooned
from
140
million
to
250
million
from
2008
until
now
that
that
bleeding
needs
to
stop
so,
for
example,
that's
a
top
priority
for
me,
but
I
couldn't
I.
AE
AE
Manager's
business
unit,
we
had
couple
of
people
left
besides
erica
and
they
were
paid
their
vacation
time,
which
is
on
regular.
Under
the
you
know,
it's
a
normal
practice
with
any
city.
Now
we
don't
budget
for
those
kind
of
vacation,
because
sometimes
we
feel
like
that.
Okay,
we
might
have
an
offset
from
the
gap
we
have
by
the
time
we
hire
something
some
of
those
things
I
see
when
I
looked
into
the
one
of
the
business
unit
and
again,
I
think,
council,
member
kelly.
AE
It
was
a
little
incorrect
statement
at
the
finance
and
budget
committee
where
we
kind
of
inadvertently
put
that
city
manager's
business
unit.
1505
was
over
budget
by
420
000
because
of
termination.
No,
it
is
because
of
three
different
line
items,
and
I
think
we
explained
that
you
know
that
one
of
the
items
was
salaries.
AE
The
other
two
payouts
are
chart
to
the
different
business
unit,
so
that
was
the
one
of
the
corrections
some
of
the
other
things
which
we
paid
out.
I
think
I
looked
at
is
almost
like
a
under
the
100
000
under
city
managers,
business
unit
for
service
contracts
for
staff,
racial
equity
policy
to
uic,
20,
000
service
contract
for
staff
ratio
to
again
uic
15
000..
So
we
paid
around
35
000,
which
wasn't
budgeted.
AE
Z
AE
Just
just
for
the
no
no
127
000
is
charged
to
business
unit
1505,
which
is
part
of
a
420
000
business
unit.
The
jennifer
lien
is
chat
to
a
separate
business
unit.
Chief
cook
is
chat
to
a
separate
business
so
right
so
it's
like.
I
just
want
to
clarify
the
way
the
accounting
works
by
business.
You
need,
within
that
line,
item.
X
AE
X
X
Anything
that
was
spent
that
we
didn't
approve
and
discuss,
so
it's
just
it
makes
it
a
bit
confusing
to
add
that
to
it,
but
in
terms
of
you
said
between
debt
service
and,
I
think
arpa
that
makes
up
80.
Yes,
if
you
to
include
what
you
mentioned
about
pensions,
what
what
percentage
would.
AE
You
see
general
fund
and
even
for
general
fund.
I
think
we
have
shared
the
explanation
with
you
that
what
were
the
line
items
you
know
that
and
some
of
the
line
items
like
we
mentioned.
I
think
it's
in
the
second
line.
X
AE
X
X
V
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
I'd
like
to
share
my
thought
process
when
looking
at
these
numbers-
and
I
come
to
some
different
conclusions
and
some
of
the
same
conclusions.
But
if
you
could
go,
I
think
it's
on
the
next
slide.
AE
V
Maybe
it
was
the
previous
one:
where
will
you
show
all
38
items,
page
444
or
four
of
eight?
Oh.
AE
V
I'm
looking
for
is
the
big
picture,
the
total
budget,
which
shows
that
we
came
in
on
a
budget
of
296
million
dollars.
We
came
in
30
million
dollars
under
budget.
V
So,
like
that's
the
one
I
want
to
look
at
first
and
when
I
see
we
have
a
30,
let's
say:
300
million
dollar
budget
roughly,
and
we
came
in
overall
30
million
dollars
under
budget
like
10
under
budget.
Like
that's
the
main
number
I'm
looking
at
and
that's
that's
good
right.
We
came
in
10
under
budget
no
one's
going
to
complain
about
that,
and
you
know.
Maybe
we
should
congratulate
ourselves
for
our
exemplary
fiscal
restraint
and
coming
in
10
under
budget.
Thank
you.
V
Let's
also
acknowledge
that
there
are
38
lines
on
this
budget
and
I'm
not
blessed
with
perfect
foresight.
No
one
in
this
room
is
blessed
with
perfect
foresight,
and
a
budget
is
only
an
expectation
of
a
amount
of
money
you
plan
to
spend
over
the
course
of
a
year.
It's
entirely
reasonable
and
not
in
any
indication
of
poor
planning
that
for
some
of
these
we
may
end
up
coming
in
over
budget.
It's
just
a
projection
of
expected
future
costs.
We
don't
know
exactly
what
the
future
is
going
to
be
whole.
V
It
was
going
to
is
going
to
hold
so
of
these
38
lines.
Nine
of
them
actually
came
in
over
budget,
so
still
that
seems
pretty
good
right.
We
could
say
we
want
them
all
to
come
in
over
budget
or
under
budget,
but
what
would
that
mean
practically
is
that
we
would
have
to
be
even
more
conservative
in
budgeting
and
past
that
the
burden
of
of
funding
an
inflated
budget
along
to
the
onto
taxpayers
to
have
enough
money
so
that
we
would
come
in
under
budget
on
every
single
line
item.
V
That's
not
something
we
want
to
do.
We
want
to
make
our
best
effort
at
getting
where
we
need
to
get,
and
I
think
we
did
a
pretty
good
job.
However,
it's
the
council's,
you
know
right
and
responsibility
to
take
a
look
at
where
we
did
go
over
budget
and
and
see
if
there's
something
that
we
did
wrong,
see
if
there's
lessons
we
can
learn,
see
if
there's
something
we
need
to
do
better.
So
let's
go
back
to
that
two
other
pages,
where
we
look
at
these
nine
over
budget
items.
AE
V
Right
so
that
wipes
out
almost
half
of
of
this
11
million
dollars,
then
the
debt
service-
that's
3.8,
like
that's
another
accounting
like
a
relic
of
the
accounting
system,
so
if
it
really
comes
right
down
to
it,
we're
doing
a
pretty
darn
good
job
of
tracking
our
expenses
of
controlling
our
expenses
to
budget.
You
know
where
we,
I
think,
should
focus
our
our
effort.
V
Is
you
know,
looking
at
the
1.9
million
dollars
that
were
over
budget
for
the
general
fund
like
that's
worthy
of
looking
into,
and
that's
if
we
want
to
have
that
conversation
tonight
great.
So
I
I
look
at
these
numbers
and
I
don't
come
to
the
conclusion
I
come
to.
Is
that
we're
doing
pretty
good
we're
doing
a
pretty
good
job
managing
the
finances
here
in
town?
V
We
have
an
opportunity
to
keep
the
council
better
informed
on
a
regular
basis,
moving
forward
so
that
we're
not
caught
off
guard
by
these
numbers
at
the
second
meeting
in
april
every
year-
and
this
is
a
topic
that
we
are
in
the
process
of
discussing
at
the
finance
and
budget
committee
meeting.
AE
V
AE
Is
posted
on
our
city
website?
It
is
part
of
the
friday
packet,
so
I
mean,
like
suppose.
If
you
look
at
our
november
report,
you
would
have
some
idea
about
how
we're
doing
in
general
for
how
we
are
doing
in
other
funds.
You
know
I
mean
there
are
some
entries,
yes,
sometimes
snow
over
time
and
that's
kind
of
a
big
variable
in
general,
but
other
than
that
most
times.
You
know
it
would
be
kind
of
same
trend
which
we
see
all
the
way
until
november.
AE
V
It's
also
important
to
realize
if
we
are
significantly
under
budget
on
a
particular
item,
we
have
an
opportunity
maybe
to
reallocate
that
money
somewhere
where
there
are
other
priorities
right.
So
it's
not
just
being
over
budget
that
we
need
to
track
it's
under
budget,
and
you
know
on
an
ongoing
basis.
You
know
balance
our
our
our
our
our
needs
and
our
priorities.
AD
Yeah,
I
think
you
know
a
lot
of
the
other
council.
Members
have
good
points
about
kind
of
the
clarity
of
the
accounting.
AD
A
lot
of
us
are
not
accountants
and
I
think
it'd
be
really
helpful
in
the
reports
to
have
just
a
special
note
of
things
like
the
police
pension
fund,
which
you
know
it's
a
it's
a
negative
line
item
thing
that
we
can't
do
anything
about
it
just
is
what
it
is,
and
I
think
that
would
you
know,
lend
a
lot
of
clarity
when
those
things
comes
up
so
that
you
know
when
constituents
are
looking
at
it,
they
don't.
They
know
like.
A
Since
no
one
who
has
not
yet
spoken
is
requesting
to
speak,
we'll
go
back
to
council
member
reed
with
two
minutes
left.
S
Thank
you
one.
I
want
to
know.
There
are
a
lot
of
positives
about
our
budget.
I
mean
being
30
million
10
under
is
great,
but
again
that
it's
just
a
happenstance
and
I
would
project
given
inflation
if
we're
worried
about
for
ten
percent
under
in
2021.
S
What
are
we
going
to
be
over
in
2022,
given
the
increasing
cost
of
all
kinds
of
things,
and
so
to
the
point
of
items
that
were
not
approved
by
council
to
councilmember
kelly's
point?
There's.
Ninety
eight
thousand.
Ninety
eight
thousand
dollar
payout
that
was
not
approved
by
this
council
and
for
my
knowledge,
was
not
approved
on
the
bills
list.
There
was
a
hundred
and
eighty
nine
thousand
dollar
payout
that
was
not
approved
by
this
council
on
the
bills
list.
S
For
my
knowledge
of
somebody,
if
I'm
wrong
someone
please
correct
me,
overtime
in
the
fire
department
went
over
by
231
thousand
dollars.
Our
firefighters
are
great.
I
am
glad
that
we
have
them.
I
support
them.
This
is
money
well
spent,
but
should
we
have
controls
on
our
budget
where,
if
the
fire
department
sees
that
they're
going
over
nearing
going
over
budget
by
you
know
whatever
that
they
come
to
the
council
and
seek
a
budget
amendment
and
and
public
works
department
went
over
by
221
000
again?
S
Should
that
department
see
hey,
it
looks
like
we're
going
over
budget
because
it's
not
like
the
overtime
just
drops
on
our
lap
out
of
nowhere
and
all
of
a
sudden
there's
a
231
thousand
dollar
expense.
This
is
something
you
can
very
clearly
see
coming
down
the
road
and
then
building
maintenance,
175
000
there
in
increased
cost
for
for
for
for
supply
for
materials
and
again
all
of
these
things
are
things
that
I
think
this
council
would
see
as
important.
I
don't
think
these
are
things
that
we
approved
again.
S
If
I'm
incorrect
about
us
approving
it.
Please
someone
correct
me,
but
I
I
think
we
just
have
to
have
better
controls
and
our
staff
should
have.
We
should
have
the
expectation
that,
if,
if
you
see
that
you're
going
over
in
a
department
that
you
come
and
you
let
the
council
know-
and
you
ask
for
permission
to
go
over
in
any
other
business
in
a
private
business,
this
would
not
be
acceptable.
It
looks
like
my
time
is
running
out,
so
I
have
one
question
for
mayor
biss
in
the
state
of
illinois.
S
If
a
department
went
over
you,
your
former
state
senator,
if
the
department
went
over
by
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
what
would
happen
to
that
department
head.
A
Would
they
be
allowed
to
go?
Here's
what
I
was
that
I
believe
the
question
and
you
write
your
times
up.
I
believe
the
question
as
you
asked,
it
is
really
up
to
the
the
managerial
discretion
of
the
governor
and,
as
you
know,
I
did
not
become
the
governor.
So
it's
that's
beyond
my
pay
grade.
A
But
what
I
can
say
relative
relevant
to
this
conversation
is
that
if
a
particular
expenditure
is
under
the
total
number
authorized
by
the
legislature
but
still
exceeds
a
particular
particular
authority
to
spend
out
of
a
particular
fund,
the
controller,
if
directed
by
the
governor's
team,
to
cut
that
check,
would
not
do
it
right.
A
The
check
does
not
get
cut
at
the
state
if
it's
outside
the
explicit
budgetary
authority,
even
if
there's
a
good
reason,
even
if
it,
if
if
it
could
be
found
in
other
funds,
there's
relatively
limited
unilateral
authority
to
transfer
money
from
fund
to
fund
for
the
purpose
of
things
like
this
without
the
permission
of
legislature.
But
it's
it's
delineated.
S
And
and
if
I
can
say
one
thing
for
five
seconds,
I
don't
think
the
state
of
illinois
is
our.
You
know
to
be
held
on
a
fiscal
pedestal,
but
because
of
all
of
the
problems
with
the
state
of
illinois,
I
think
they've
put
in
place
some
really
good
controls
and
and
practices
to
ensure
that
there's
tight
financial
constraints
and
that
it's
very
clear,
transparent
process.
Thank
you.
Z
Thank
you.
I
just
feel,
of
course,
we're
gonna.
You
know
end
up
approving
this,
but
I
would
I
would
very
much
like
to
just
hold
this
for
one
council
meeting
so
that
staff
can
come
back
with
a
plan
to
you
know
to
for
tracking
to
apprise
us
so
that
when
we
are
voting,
we
have
a
sense
if
we're
going
over
budget
so
that
we
can
make
appropriate
decisions.
Z
I
think
you
know
for
ourselves
for
clarity,
for
the
public,
for
transparency
and
in
the
name
of
budgetary
discipline.
I
just
think
for
us,
as
we
make
our
decisions
on
how
we
want
to
spend
our
money.
I
would
just
like
to
hold
it
for
one
session
so
that
you
can
come
back
and
let
us
know
going
forward
how
we
can
be
kept
apprised.
A
A
The
motion
dies
all
right
council
member
kelly,
moves
to
hold
item,
f1
councilmember
reads
seconds,
so
let
me
make
sure
I
have
this
right,
mr
cummings.
The
just
the
item
is
therefore
held
unless
there's
a
motion
to
return
the
hold.
Is
that
correct
correct?
Is
there
a
motion
to
overturn
the
hold?
Do
you
want
to
move
it
I'll
have
to
motion
and
I'll.
A
A
AE
X
The
thing
that
carries
us,
45
minutes
you
know
or
whatever
like
this,
is
not
a
big
deal.
We
could
hold
this
and
and
it's
not
going
to
make
a
big
difference
so.
A
And
if,
if
I
could
just
say
something,
if
hitach
walks
away
makes
a
phone
call
tomorrow
morning,
finds
out
that
a
delay
is
really
problematic,
we
could
come
back
in
two
weeks
and
do
a
production
action
on
the
same
night
and
then
be
on
the
same
calendar.
We
would
have
been
on
before.
A
All
right
so,
but
I
don't
think
people
are
taking
your
advice,
council
member.
So
next
we
have
council
member
newsmen
who
will
be
followed
by
revell,
then
reed,
then
braithwaite,
then
hedakaris
and
then
kelly.
V
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
appreciate
and
understand
and
approve
of
council
member
kelly's
intent
to
you
know
develop
a
system
of
periodic
reports
to
counsel.
I
really
think
we
need
to
do
that.
That's
something
where
we've
decided
to
undertake
at
the
finance
and
budget
committee
meeting.
I
don't
think
we're
gonna
get
there
within
two
weeks.
You
know
within
two
three
weeks
of
our
next
council
meeting,
I'd
like
that
conversation
to
take
as
long
as
it
needs
to
take
that
might
be
a
month.
It
might
be
six
weeks.
V
You
know
maybe
we'll
approve
something
at
the
finance
and
budget
committee
meeting
in
in
june.
So
I
don't
see
the
the
need
to
delay
acting
on
this
ordinance
right
now,
I'm
not
suggesting
we
don't
need
to.
You
know,
take
our
time
and
and
look
at
the
financial
reports.
However,
so
I
just
don't
see
that
can
that
delay
in
the
vote
on
this
really
accomplishes
anything.
S
I'll,
just
very
quickly
reiterate
that
I
think
you
know
I
agree
with
councilmember.
Newsma
is
holding
this
going
to
be
some,
you
know.
Are
we
gonna
at
the
end
of
this
road?
Have
you
know
everything
done
and
you
know
be
enlightened
and
have
a
new
process?
No,
but
also
it
doesn't
seem
like
there's
going
to
be
a
harm
and
allowing
a
council
member
to
have
a
great
opportunity
to
get
more
information
when
there's
no
harm,
I
think
is
worth
it,
and
so
with
that.
S
I
hope
we
can
just
allow
the
hold
to
stand,
and
I
think
we
should
start
looking
at
overturning
holds
as
a
you
know,
in
a
situation
where
something
is
dire
and
not
just
you
know
the
way
that
we're
looking
at
it
now
and
I
hope
I'll
make
one
last
point.
I
hope
that
wisdom
of
the
committee
thing
stands
in
the
future,
that
if
a
committee
supports
something
you'll,
follow
the
wisdom
of
a
committee.
AD
My
comment
is,
I
just
think
like
a
lot
of
this
is
this
is
important
to
just
update
our
budget
now
it's,
it
is
what
it
is.
It's
water
under
the
bridge
and
I'd
really
like
to
see
some
of
the
changes
that
other
council
members
suggested
tonight
going
forward.
Z
Just
to
reiterate,
I
I
think
it's
important
just
for
staff
to
come
back
with
whether
it's
a
commitment.
I
think
there
is
some
minimal,
minimal
steps
that
can
be
taken,
and
I
think
there's
plenty
of
time
between
now
and
the
next
council
meeting
to
bring
back
some
of
those
assurances
so
that
we
are
properly
apprised
so
that
we,
as
the
representatives
and
the
stewards
of
of
our
budget
and
our
tax
dollar,
are
properly
apprised
again.
It
wasn't
a
hundred
thousand
we're
talking,
11.5
million.
So
I
do
think
it's
important
that
we
have
this.
Z
I
think
it's
important
that
the
public
knows
that
we're
all
committed
to
that
also,
so
that's
all
I'm
asking
I'm
not
saying
not
to
pass
it,
but
I'm
just
saying
that
I
think
this
is
important
that
we
that
we
hold
it
so
that
we
have
that
and
the
public
knows
that
we
are
very
serious
about
you,
know
budgetary
discipline
regarding
their
tax
dollars.
Thank
you.
U
A
Motion
fails
for
lack
of
two-thirds.
Five
is
not
two-thirds
of
eight
and
so
the
hold
stands
and
the
item
will
be
on
the
may
ninth
city
council
agenda.

he
was
thinking
about
our

the

just
cared
more

it
carried
on
successfully.
