A
A
Tuesday
September
27th,
we
have
a
quorum,
and
so
we
can
begin
to
do
our
business
and
I
guess
we
need
a
roll
call.
D
D
A
Here,
okay,
thank
you
and
I
will
do
my
mayor,
announcements
and
I
have
a
proclamation
to
read,
and
this
is
to
do
with.

Now
therefore,
I
Eleanor
Revell

Look

D
Candace
has
been
on
the
job
as
long
as
I
have,
and
anyone
else

Albany

so
much
appreciated

Thank

E
I
I
just
also
want
to
add
my
thank
you
to
Candace
and
welcoming
I,
actually
I.
Think
my
first
time
seeing
you
I
know
that
Audrey
Thompson
used
to
hold
the
the
position
that
you
were
in
and
so
I'm
glad
to
now
put
a
face
to
the
new
Ombudsman.
E
So
thank
you
for
for
your
work
and
it's
critically
important
I,
my
my
you
know.
Many
of
us
have
had
parents
or
grandparents
in
my
case
grandparents,
who
were
in
long-term
health
care
facilities
and
ensuring
that
you
know
an
extremely
vulnerable
population
is
taken
care
of
is
extremely
critical
and
so
really
thankful
for
the
work
that
you've
done
and
I
and
I
know
well.
I
haven't.
This
is
my
first
time
meeting.
E
You
I
know
that
you
know
given
Audrey's
work
in
the
in
the
role,
I'm
sure
you're,
fully
living
up
to
it
and
doing
truly
amazing
and
transformative
work
out
there.
So
thank
you.
Yes.
Thank
you.
A
Great
okay
and
now
do
we
have
city
manager,
announcements.
C
We
had
the
petition
submitted
today
with
a
50
signatures
against
the
rental,
the
vacation,
rental
and
Prudence
Malin
emailed
to
support
the
fair
housing,
ordinance
and
Elliott
sanction,
also
emailed
to
support
the
fair
housing,
ordinance
and
Nancy
Serena,
also
emailed
to
support
fair
housing,
and
most
of
you
receive
communication
from
Sarah
flax,
with
several
oppositions
to
the
billboard.
Ordinance,
but
I
understand
that's
not
not
on
the
upper
vote.
That's
all!
Thank
you.
Okay,.
G
E
E
No
I,
don't
think
I
think
Tracy.
If
that's
one
of
your
neighbors
I
think
Tracy
took
off
after
committee.
J
Here
tonight
to
support
agenda
item
A8,
which
is,
as
amended
for
the
wish
Jenny
report
regarding
Robert
Crown's,
active,
concrete
cracks
in
the
amount
of
twelve
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars.
That's
their
proposal
for
phase
one.
According
to
City
staff.
There
is
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
yet
to
be
paid
to
the
Robert
Crown
Center
contractor,
meaning
the
city
has
leverage
to
get
the
contractor
to
repair
flaws
in
the
new
construction
at
their
expense.
J
One
of
the
issues
that
Robert
Crown
is
the
act
of
concrete
cracks
developing.
In
the
first
floor,
the
spiderweb
of
cracks
occurs
throughout
the
4
000
square
foot
Lobby,
where
there
are
no
control
joints,
cracks
vary
in
width
and
depth.
Many
encircling
chunks
of
concrete
that
may
ultimately,
pop
out
staff
describes
the
slab
as
a
two-way
reinforced
structural,
concrete
slab
bearing
on
caissons
that
suggests
the
slab
is
suspended.
J
So
a
quarter
inch
wide
crack
with
which
there
are
many
are
not
normal
for
suspended
structural,
concrete
slabs,
and
it
is
dangerous
to
minimize
the
concern
by
comparing
Crown's
structural,
concrete
floor
to
a
retail
food
store
or
slab
on
grate
they're
just
not
equals.
J
You
can
see
the
photographs
that
were
circulated
for
Robert
Crown
slab
and
there
are
significant.
J
J
J
The
sentences
from
that
Google
search
are
not
engineering.
Specs
engineering
specs
are
prepared
for
by
licensed
engineers
for
contractors
to
build
from
contractors
not
built
from
Google
searches
to
suggest.
The
document
confirms
staff's
opinion
that
a
quarter
inch
wide
crack
and
a
structural
slab
is.
Okay
is
just
a
silly
statement
so,
with
all
due
respect
to
everyone
staff,
anybody
sitting
behind
the
Deus,
there's
no
qualifications
to
make
those
kinds
of
judgments
and
I'm
asking
this
Council
to
approve
the
reduced,
only
phase
one
costs
of
twelve
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
for
the
wish.
Change
Report
remember.
L
Good
evening
again,
sorry,
some
of
you
are
going
to
hear
me
say
the
same
thing
over
again,
but
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
address
the
council.
My
name
is
Julie
Anne
friend
and
I
live
at
2534
Lawndale
Avenue,
with
my
spouse,
Ed
Walsh,
who
could
not
be
here
tonight.
I
am
here
to
oppose
the
vacation
rental
license
request
from
2545
Lawndale,
which
is
just
a
few
houses
away
from
me.
I
want
to
First
stress
that
we
are
not
opposed
to
having
longer-term
rental
properties
in
the
neighborhood.
L
We
are
well
aware
of
the
lack
of
rental
homes
in
Evanston
neighborhoods
for
individuals
and
families
who
are
not
in
a
position
to
purchase
a
home
and
encourage
the
city's
efforts
to
improve
those
opportunities.
However,
in
this
case,
the
homeowners
who
live
in
California
have
disclosed
in
a
letter
to
the
residents
that
they
purchased
the
property
in
order
to
have
ready
housing
when
visiting
their
aging
parents
who
reside
in
the
Mather
downtown,
but
that
they
hope
to
rent
the
unit
out
between
visits
to
offset
the
cost
of
taxes
and
upkeep,
while
I
empathize.
L
L
Subsequent
safety
concerns
for
the
many
small
children
who
live
in
the
community
who
play
in
the
fronts
of
the
houses
and
in
the
alley
on
which
this
house
is
located,
and
the
potential
for
disruptive
noise
and
activity
associated
with
athletic
Northwestern
athletic
events,
given
the
likelihood
that
the
prospective
renters
would
choose
this
particular
property
for
its
proximity
to
the
201
and
or
Ryan
Field.
L
In
today's
hearing
we
learned
that
homeowners
intend
to
visit
more
often
once
they
have
more
travel
flexibility
in
June,
but
as
I
understand
it,
they
do
not
intend
to
make
the
property
property
their
permanent
residence
in
the
future,
but
I
invite
Corrections.
Of
course,
I
remain
concerned
that
the
homeowner's
intent
is
to
obtain
a
full-time
future
income
generating
activity
for
its
absentee
owners,
packaged
in
a
contemporary
explanation
of
family
concern
and
convenience.
L
I
do
urge
you
to
vote
no
I,
understand
that
our
concerns
are
speculative
and
that
there
is
no
evidence
of
wrongdoing
or
misdeeds
to
date,
but
the
property
has
yet
to
be
rented,
so
such
opportunity
for
evidence
either
way
is
unavailable,
but
the
city
invited
us
to
participate
in
the
process
with
our
concerns,
and
so
we
have
done
so.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
M
M
The
situation
is
that
we
request
that
the
consideration
of
this
license
be
denied
at
this
point,
pursuant
to
the
statute
under
which
the
license
would
be
provided.
M
Specifically
in
section
D
of
that
ordinance,
the
city
council
may
deny
a
vacation
rental
license:
Upon
A,
finding
that
such
denial
is
in
the
public
interest
and
I
would
assume
that
the
public
interest
takes
into
account
the
people
who
live
in
the
immediate
area
of
the
rental.
In
fact,
this
ordinance
as
I'm
sure
all
of
you
are
aware,
provides
that
notice
must
be
given
to
property
owners
in
the
neighborhood
within
so
many
feet.
M
That's
the
2545,
Lawndale
property
hereby
submit
that
we
are
in
opposition
to
the
issuance
by
the
City
of
Evanston
of
vacation
rental
license
for
the
property
at
2545
Lawndale.
We
believe
that
a
license
for
short-term
rentals
would
have
a
potential
for
a
substantial
adverse
impact
on
the
use,
enjoyment,
safety
and
property
values
of
our
properties
and
would
not
be
consistent
with
the
character
of
the
neighborhood.
M
M
Okay,
consequently,
I
would
request
that
you
seriously
those
of
you
who
voted
before
reconsider
your
votes
in
light
of
what
the
public
sentiment
is
that
has
been
requested
pursuant
to
the
the
ordinance
and
I
would
submit
that
if
you
vote
in
accordance
with
the
situation
as
I
believe,
we've
made
it
clear.
M
K
O
Thank
you,
council,
members
and
again
I
know
some
of
you
heard
from
me
earlier.
My
name
is
Jennifer
Clark
I
am
a
resident
at
2533,
Lawndale
Avenue,
also
representing
my
husband,
Matt
Clark,
who
was
also
unable
to
attend
this
evening.
I
am
a
mother
of
two
smaller
children
who
attend
Willard
and
Haven,
who
are
9
and
11..
My
primary
concern
as
a
mother
in
the
neighborhood
is
of
the
nature
of
the
use
of
this
property
as
a
short-term
vacation
rental
I
do
want
to
be
clear.
O
I
have
no
concerns
with
longer
term
rentals
in
the
area.
I
do
actually
feel
like
there's
a
shortage
in
Evanston
and
I.
Myself
was
also
a
renter
for
two
years
prior
to
buying
our
home
for
nine
years.
Our
home
is
actually
a
rental
for
50
years
to
many
families
in
the
area,
who
are
very
welcomed
by
the
neighbors
of
the
area.
So
again,
my
concern
is
more
of
the
short-term
rental
nature
and
for
the
safety
of
the
families
and
community
that
live
on
our
neighborhood.
O
There
are
many
smaller
children
than
even
mine
and
just
concern
over
the
transient
nature
of
people
who
will
be
in
and
out
of
the
property
who
may
not
be
aware
or
share
the
same
concern
of
people
in
our
community
and
of
the
children
on
the
Block
I.
Also
just
wanted
to
comment
too,
is
I'm,
hoping
that
you
will
hear
the
concerns
of
myself,
as
well
as
the
many
people
who
signed
the
petition
since
we
were
given
notice
to
be
able
to
come
and
comment
in
public
I.
I
Hello,
everybody,
my
name
is
Michelle
Villa
I
am
the
daughter
of
Lisa
bellsheimer
and
Steve
valiana,
who
are
owners
of
that
property
on
2545,
Lawndale
and
I'm
here
to
support
their
vacation
rental
home
I.
Am
a
new
resident
of
Evanston
happy
to
be
here
and
I
live
about
two
miles
from
the
property
and
I
am
the
person
that
takes
care
of
it
when
it
is
vacant.
I
I
I
just
came
from
a
Crisis
Prevention
training
for
Park,
School
and
yeah,
so
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
I
currently
check
on
the
house
one
or
two
times
a
week,
making
sure
that
everything's
good
and
if
there
were
any
issues
that
I
am
in
town
and
I
can
be
contacted
for
that
rental
and
yeah
I
would
go
over
between
rentals
and
making
sure
that
the
everything
is
safe
and
settled
and
yeah
I
hope
that
you
consider
them
for
for
supporting
this.
Thank
you
thank.
H
E
P
Good
evening,
council
members,
my
name
is
Ronald
O'neal,
I'm,
general
counsel
for
IHC
construction
companies.
We
are
a
construction
company
from
Elgin
Illinois,
385
Airport
Road
in
Elgin.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
heard.
I'm
speaking
to
you
this
evening
about
the
1909
raw
water
intake
project.
P
P
P
Recently
we
went
to
court
over
that
matter
and
the
second
Louis
bitter
was
granted
a
preliminary
injunction.
I
won't
get
into
the
details
of
why
that
was.
It
was
some.
The
judge
was
persuaded
to
grant
that
injunction
and
I
will
leave
it
to
your
very
capable
interim
Corporation
Council,
to
explain
to
you
the
ins
and
outs
of
that
ruling.
P
P
P
P
P
Q
My
name
is
Ellen
Logan
I'm,
a
lifetime
Evans
Estonian
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
VRBO
license.
Clearly
airbnbs
and
the
vrbos
are
here
to
stay
and
we're
going
to
be
hearing
more
and
more
about
them.
I
urge
the
council,
though,
to
deny
this
request
and
all
other
requests
until
they
establish
acceptable
requirements
for
such
licenses,
keeping
in
mind
always
the
public
interest.
Q
That's
why
we're
here
tonight
I
urge
you
to
be
proactive
on
this
issue
rather
than
reactive
and
deny
this
request
and
all
others
until
you
have
a
handle
on
the
increasing
number
of
requests
you're
going
to
have
for
short-time
rentals
regarding
this
particular
home
on
Lawndale.
The
owners
can
continue
to
rent
this
house
long
term
if
that's
their
option,
while
the
city
council
checks
with
other
cities
and
gets
a
handle
on
how
these
requests
are
being
handled.
Thank.
A
A
A
R
Those
of
you
who
have
not
met
me
good,
first
of
all
good
evening
to
all
council
members,
for
those
of
you
don't
know
me:
I'm,
Ken,
prosky
and
I'm
here
to
comment
on
SP
SP2.
R
The
parking
study
report
I
live
at
1323,
Chancellor
Street,
which
is
immediately
adjacent
to
Ryan,
Field
and
lot
102
in
the
consultant's
report.
Thank
you
for
commissioning
this
informative
and
generally
very
helpful
study.
I
was
impressed.
However,
I
am
concerned
that
some
conclusions
and
recommendations
in
the
Northwestern
section
are
based
on
observations
during
a
single
football
and
basketball
game,
which
seems
to
me,
like
far
too
small
of
a
sample
size
to
accurately
capture
and
understand
the
actual
range
of
unique
conditions
and
their
broad
impact
on
the
community.
R
R
R
R
Second,
and
more
importantly,
I-
disagree
that
this
problem
could
be
solved
by
simply
adding
a
few
plaques
to
district
6,
which
restricts
non-permit
parking
from
9
00
am
to
6
pm.
Yes,
district
6
should
be
expanded,
particularly
east
of
the
athletic
campus,
but
expansion
alone
will
not
provide
meaningful
relief
because
most
events
occur
outside
these
times.
District
6
needs
to
prohibit
and
enforce
non-permit
parking
during
any
large
event,
not
just
from
nine
to
six.
R
R
R
R
S
Alzheimer
I'm,
the
father
of
Lisa
berlzheimer,
the
applicant
for
the
vacation
rental,
license
I
live
in
Evanston,
my
family
moved
here
in
1962.
and
we
have
owned
two
houses:
a
condominium
and
now
an
apartment.
At
the
Mather
we've
been
here
60
years,
we
are
deeply
invested
in
Evanston,
we
love
Evanston.
S
We
chose
to
live
in
Evanston
and
raise
our
family
here
and
I
served
on
many
boards,
including
the
the
Evanston
Community
Foundation,
of
which
I
was
also
chair.
My
wife,
Diane
has
also
served
on
many
boards,
such
as
the
YWCA
and
she's,
been
president
of
every
PTA
that
our
children
attended.
That
was
three
of
them.
Grammar
School,
junior,
high
school
and
the
high
school
Lisa
is
our
fourth
child.
She
was
born
in
Evanston
and
attended
public
schools
here
she
and
her
husband
Steve.
As
you
know,
own
the
condominium
on
Sherman.
S
Our
granddaughter
Michelle
is
now
living
in
and
you've
met
her
and
then
they
own
the
townhouse
at
2545
Lawndale.
They
love
Evanston.
They
intend
to
make
Evanston
their
future
home,
Lisa
and
Steve
desire
to
be
able
to
rent
the
townhouse
using
Airbnb
to
help
defray
the
cost
of
owning
it
and
I
didn't
mention
this
before,
but
we
are
aware
that
our
people
do
rent
their
homes
in
Evanston
without
complying
with
the
law
and
getting
a
license,
but
they
don't
want
to
do
it.
S
The
Lisa
and
Steve
are
very
proud
of
the
Lawndale
property.
They
have
made
many
improvements
in
it,
including
a
very
nice
fence
they
put
up,
which
they
have
a
very
nice
side
yard,
that's
very
nicely
landscaped.
With
nice
trees.
They
have
a
table
out
there,
they
have
a
barbecue
and
they
will
be
very
careful
renting
it.
They
want
to
list
it
on
Airbnb,
as
I
said,
because
of
its
standards,
they
I
think
they
will
be
wonderful
neighbors.
We
are
all
very
much
invested
in
evolution
and
just
finally,
they
would
say
that
there
is
a.
There.
S
Is
an
ordinance
that
permits
the
licensing
and
there's
been
nothing
said
here
that
would
violate
that
they
intend
to
comply
with
the
license
in
every
way,
and
the
petition
in
the
objectioners
are
simply
raising
clouds
and
the
suspicions
and
things
that
might
happen,
but
nothing
that
actually
has
happened
or
they
intend
to
let
happen.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
H
T
Yes,
hi
I
will
thank
you
very
much
good
evening.
My
name
is
Lisa
girlsheimer,
and
this
is
my
husband,
Steve
Galliano,
and
we're
here
to
talk
about
the
support
for
our
home
as
a
vacation.
Rental
I
grew
up
in
Evanston.
As
my
dad
said,
my
son
spent
the
pandemic
at
Evanston
and
obtained
his
master's
degree
from
Northwestern,
and
my
daughter
just
moved
here
in
July
and
is
working
in
District
65.
I
grew
up
in
South,
Evanston
I
went
to
Oakton
and
shoot
any
THS,
and
you
met
my
father,
we're
devoted
to
Evanston.
T
We
purchased
a
condo
in
2018
to
be
able
to
spend
more
time
here
with
my
folks,
and
my
husband
enjoys
it
here,
so
much
that
he
was
eager
for
us
to
buy
a
second
property.
We
do
currently
live
in
Southern,
California,
I'm
planning
on
retiring
I'm,
a
speech
and
language
pathologist
in
the
public
schools
here
in
California
and
I'm
retiring
in
June
of
2023,
and
so
the
property
on
Lawndale
was
purchased
to
be
our
next
home.
T
It's
will
be
our
primary
residence,
we'll
still
travel
back
to
California,
to
see
our
grandchildren,
but
we
do
plan
on
spending
our
time
in
Evanston
we're
asking
for
permission
to
approve
the
vacation
rental
application.
We've
been
diligent
in
following
all
of
the
steps
and
procedures
that
the
city
has
required
for
us
to
obtain
this
license.
The
home
has
been
inspected
and
approved
by
the
city.
To
answer
some
of
the
concerns
we
are
using
airbnbro
VRBO
because
of
their
strict
regulations
and
policies.
T
We
have
also
set
up
the
stays
so
that
they
would
not
be
back
to
back,
there's
a
gap
of
time
between
and
we
are
actually
hoping
to.
Market
people
have
mentioned
football
games,
but
we're
hoping
to
Market
more
towards
families.
We
have
the
house
set
up
with
some
twin
beds
and
the
queen
bed
in
rooms
where
families
could
come
for
college
visits
and
even
like
orientation
weekends.
So
that's
kind
of
the
market
we'd
like
to
have
come
to
our
home.
We
don't
want
football
parties
there.
T
Like
I,
said
we
come
every
several
months.
We
spend
time
there
and
it's
our
home
and
we've
got
a
lot
of
improvements
to
make
it
our
home.
T
We
have
established
a
relationship
with
our
direct
neighbors,
where
they
do
have
our
contact
number
and
they
have
my
daughter's
contact
number
and
we
have
many
friends
and
family
in
Evanston
who
are
there
to
help
if
there's
a
broken
pipe
or
if
there
were
anything
that
needed
to
be
taken
care
of
I
do
have
connections
that
would
take
care
of
those.
For
me.
T
Right
I
just
want
to
say
we
have
well,
you
know
we
have
grandchildren
too
I,
understand
the
concerns,
but
I
want
you
to
understand
as
well
that
this
is
our
home.
We
do
spend
the
Summers
there
for
the
last
three
years.
We've
spent
summers
in
Evanston
the
months
of
June
and
July,
and
so
thank
you.
A
A
Can
you
tell
if
she's
there
we'll
come
back
in
case
she
shows
up
Bruce
annenbach.
A
Come
back
to
Bruce
as
well
Tina
Payton.
U
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
go
ahead,
hi
good
evening,
H1,
just
housing
Amendment,
how
many
people
that
are
making
these
housing
laws,
own
rental
properties
and
rent
to
Affordable
units
just
cause
evictions?
Where
are
the
landlord's
protection?
Where
were
you
when
the
tenants
are
shooting
bullets
through
my
building?
Where
were
you
when
the
tenants
are
threatening
me?
Where
were
you
when
the
tenants
are
destroying
my
building?
You
are
not
helping
the
affordable
housing
situation.
U
U
While
you
are
imposing
housing
laws
without
us,
you
are
making
your
own
housing,
affordable,
housing
options
smaller.
How
about
some
laws
protecting
the
landlord
I'm
still
waiting
for
the
mayor
to
call
me
back
10
months
later.
To
give
me
the
money
I
was
promised
by
him
for
a
shooting
at
my
building.
All
I'm
left
with
is
fifty
thousand
dollar
damages
Bill
left
by
the
tenant
who
you
want
to
protect.
Do
you
have
an
ordinance
for
that?
Maybe
the
city
manager
can
chime
in
and
advise
the
mayor
to
keep
his
promises.
U
Most
nursing
homes
should
be
shut
down.
They
are
like
roach
motels
people
check
in,
but
they
don't
check
out.
Where
is
the
inspection
department
here?
People
come
in
for
help,
but
they
are
drugs,
abused
and
left
in
the
corner
to
die.
If
you
are
claiming
this
month
is
for
those
people
visit
the
nursing
homes
and
see
that
they
smell
have
short
staff
overworked
and
under
trained
and
the
owners
of
these
facilities
only
care
about
money,
not
the
patience.
U
How
often
does
the
city
Inspection
Department
drop
by
these
nursing
homes,
like
you
ride
by
my
property,
giving
me
a
ticket
for
a
bush?
That's
over
the
sidewalks
again
black
people
pack,
your
bags,
the
new
Fifth
Ward
school
is
not
for
you.
The
new
remodel,
Family,
Focus
and
Fleetwood,
not
for
you.
The
new
town
homes
are
Wesley,
Jackson
Foster
in
Green.
Bay
is
not
for
you.
Please
go
to
the
meeting
tomorrow
night
for
the
land
use
and
you
will
see
the
19
new
Townhomes
proposed
for
545
000.
That's
not
for
you.
H
V
Good
evening,
good
evening,
so
now
I
don't
want
to
speak
to
H1,
which
is
about
the
fair
housing
model
that
you
plan
on
amending,
and
it
should
have
been
amended
a
long
time
ago
to
catch
up
with
the
Crow
laws.
But
in
amending
these
how
this
fair
housing
law,
you
have
still
not
protected
the
people
that
you're
seeing
that
should
be
covered
under
the
fair
housing
laws,
because
you
have
not
provided
space
for
them
to
live
that
they
can't
afford.
V
V
H
You
thank
you,
Sue,
lower
back
is
next.
K
K
I
wanted
to
say
that
joining
forces
strongly
supports
passage
of
the
just
Housing
Initiative
I
do
agree
with
Ms
Esther
that
it
doesn't
solve
all
the
problems
and
doesn't
address
affordability.
However,
along
with
credit
scores
and
eviction
records,
Justice
involvement
is
excluding
vast
numbers
of
people
from
housing.
These
three
issues
are
making
are
making
even
people
who
can
afford
to
rent
homeless
and
are
some
of
the
biggest
barriers
that
connections
clients
face.
K
The
just
Housing
Initiative
is
a
small
step
forward
and
we
hope
you
will
approve
this
ordinance
and
open
the
door
for
more
week
form
additionally,
I
won't
repeat
my
statement
from
P
and
D,
but
regarding
P2,
we
urge
you
to
approve
the
extension
of
the
permitting
process,
in
particular
for
the
1900
Sherman
building,
I'm,
hoping
that
we
don't
create
any
more
obstacles
for
our
developers,
particularly
those
who
are
creating
more
affordable
units.
Thank.
H
You
thank
you.
Gail
Schechter,.
W
Hi,
thank
you
very
much.
I
hope
you
can
all
hear
me.
Yes,
thank
you
I'm
speaking,
both
as
myself
and
as
Community
Alliance
for
better
government
I
urge
you
to
vote
Yes
on
the
amendments
to
evanston's,
fair
housing,
ordinance.
That's
before
you,
with
the
passage
of
these
amendments,
evanston's
ordinance
will,
along
with
Cook
County,
have
the
most
inclusive
number
of
protected
classes
in
Illinois.
W
His
set
of
edits
also
provides
a
comprehensive
correction
to
the
patchwork
of
amendments
over
the
years
with
a
standard
format
with
regard
to
definitions
and
policies.
As
a
fair
housing
enforcement
expert
of
30
years,
I
can
State
unequivocally
that
the
role
of
government
is
to
guarantee
equal
opportunity
to
all
people
in
their
search
for
the
housing
of
their
choice
within
your
borders.
Housing
people
would
otherwise
qualify
for
based
on
objective
standards
like
their
income.
W
I
also
want
to
say
that
essential
to
that
role
to
your
role
is
not
only
having
the
right
laws
in
place,
but
the
ability
to
enforce
those
laws.
Evanston
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
you
are
aware
that
Evanston
used
to
be
sub
quote
unquote
substantially
equivalent
to
HUD
I.
Remember
that
when
the
human
relations
commission
under
Owen
Thomas
conducted
investigations
worked
closely
with
the
Corporation
Council
and
initiated
lawsuits,
that
meant
that
HUD
actually
gave
a
complaints
to
Evanston
to
investigate,
but
unfortunately,
Evanston
lost
that
substantial
equivalency
in
1996.
W
and
I
quote
from
HUD
it's
on
their
website.
They
said
because
Evanston
did
not
provide
substantive
rights
and
remedies
for
alleged
discriminatory
housing
practices.
So
I
feel
that,
with
these
new
amendments,
you're
on
the
road
to
being
back
back
into
the
enforcement
business,
so
I
would
also
urge,
in
addition
to
what
you're
passing
before
you
to
empower
your
Corporation
Council
to
enforce
evanston's,
fair
housing
ordinance,
just
like
the
Corporation
Council,
enforces
long-term
care
facilities
and
not
leave
it
up
to
complainants
to
take
private
action,
and
I
would
end
with
this.
W
A
You
no
right
so
Tracy
Webb
is
anywhere
around
or
Darlene
Cannon
or
Bruce
annenbach.
X
Apologize
for
the
previous
audio
issues,
my
name
is
a
45-year
resident
of
First
Ward
we're
expecting
P2
P2
recommends
the
extension
of
time
to
obtain
a
building
permit
for
three
projects:
1012
Chicago
Avenue,
1900,
Sherman,
Avenue
and
605
Davis.
Obviously,
these
three's
projects
should
not
be
in
a
combined
vote
but
rather
be
considered
separate,
although
I
firmly
support,
affordable
housing
options
at
our
city,
the
1900
Sherman
Avenue
project
is
primarily
not
one.
X
I
fervently
oppose
the
extension
of
1900
Sherman
as
the
county
has
no
business
building
market
rate
Apartments,
which
comprises
the
bulk
of
this
project,
which
only
masquerades
as
an
affordable
event
project
the
project
being
no
more
affordable
than
the
E2.
For
example,
the
senior
Council
should
not
be
enabling
the
county
to
do
what
is
clearly
not
the
mission
of
the
county
nor
waste
our
tax
dollars
on
such
foolish
and
inappropriate
Ventures.
X
There
is
not
one
developer
in
Chicagoland
or
anywhere,
who
would
venture
into
this
money
losing
scheme,
and
we
should
not
be
interested
in
taking
the
inevitable
Financial
loss
of
for
our
taxes,
that
being
as
a
result
of
cook
County's
participation.
Please
deny
the
extension
for
the
1900
Sherman
Avenue
project
and
thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
H
A
I
believe
that
concludes
public
comment.
So
thank
you,
everyone!
Thank
you,
everyone!
Let
me
just
so
now
we're
ready,
for
we
have
three
special
orders
of
business
this
evening
and
the
first
one
is
a
presentation
from
Trilogy
about
the
new
climate
crisis,
emergency
response
program.
Y
Y
Thank
you,
yeah.
Thank
you,
councilmember
well,
hi,
everyone,
I'm
Chris,
Mayer
and
I'm
The
Clinical
Director
of
Crisis
services
with
Trilogy
Behavioral
Health.
He
already
given
update
on
the
continued
implementation
of
our
crisis
program.
Y
So
for
anyone
who
doesn't
know
we're
one
of
a
network
of
mobile
crisis
response
providers
that
is
assigned
to
Evanston
and
some
nearby
communities
to
provide
immediate
mobile
response,
Mental
Health
Services,
so
people
in
need
of
the
you
know
that
support
so
we're
part
of
a
network
that
was
built
under
the
Cecil
legislation,
so
that
everyone
in
Illinois
will
have
access
to
this
type
of
program
once
fully
implemented.
So
different
agencies
are
in
different
stages.
Y
We've
been
operating
since
January
and
part
of
our
update
is
that
we're
now
operating
24
7.
So
we
do
offer
mobile
response
any
time
of
day
any
day
of
the
year
as
well
as
that
we
are
nearly
fully
staffed.
Y
So
we
also
meet
monthly
with
the
alternative
crisis
response
subcommittee
and
that
engagement
has
focused
on
how
to
get
the
word
out
to
the
community
about
the
program
as
well
as
about
988,
which
is
closely
connected
to
this
program.
So
the
relationship
there
is
that
988
is
the
new
National
Mental
Health
crisis
line
and
in
Illinois
988
is
one
of
the
routes
that
people
can
take
to
get
connected
to
mobile
crisis
programs.
Y
So
the
what
we've
been
working
on
with
the
subcommittee
has
taken
the
form
of
identifying
community
events
for
us
to
have
a
presence
at,
as
well
as
creating
a
website
and
video
to
help
get
the
word
out
about
988
trilogies
program
as
well
as
when
to
call
what
number
when
to
call
9-1-1
that
kind
of
thing.
Y
So
speaking
to
partnership
with
Evans
and
police,
which
is
a
part
of
these
programs.
Our
partnership,
I
believe,
is
strong.
I
just
want
to
extend
a
thank
you
to
epd
I
believe
they
have
the
highest
engagement
of
any
police
agency
that
I've
heard
of
through
this
program,
so
they've
been
very
transparent
and
very
willing
to
collaborate.
Y
We
attend
regular
roll
calls,
as
well
as
receive
almost
daily
referrals
from
them
for
911
calls
that
they
receive
for
us
to
respond
to
with
them
or
alone,
as
well
as
have
extended
us
radio
capability
for
our
phones.
So
we're
still
getting
that
set
up,
but
that
will
give
our
staff
a
quicker
way
to
radio
for
help.
If
there's
a
safety
concern
as
well
as
allow
us
to
monitor,
calls
to
suggest
us
going
out
for
a
response
if
a
mental
health
call
comes
in
so
I
know.
Y
At
last
meeting
we
were
brought
up
in
conjunction
with
a
proposal
for
outreach
workers
through
Street
plus,
so
just
wanted
to
speak
to
that
and
what
intersection
exists
there
for
a
moment,
because
I
know
it
was
kind
of
thrown
out
that
there
might
be
overlap
with
us.
So
while
there
is
some
overlap
in
terms
of
you
know
areas
that
we
work
on
and
individuals
that
we
might
serve
I
deleted.
Y
The
scope
and
aims
of
these
programs
are
different,
so
I,
don't
see
Street
plus
as
duplication
of
services
with
trilogy
I
do
have
concerns
about
what
you
know.
The
true
aims
are
of
any
organization
that
combines
Waste
Management
with
human
services,
but
insofar
as
the
question
of
whether
or
not
they
would
duplicate
our
services,
I
don't
believe
they
would
because
we're
working
towards
different
goals
from
a
different
brain.
Y
So
finally,
just
a
quick
word
on
the
sesa
advisory
process,
so,
as
I
mentioned,
is
the
state
level
legislation
that
created
the
network
of
Crisis
programs
and
there's
an
ongoing
Statewide
and
Regional
advisory
process
to
plan
the
next
level
of
implementation.
So
both
Trilogy
and
Evans
and
City
staff
will
sit
on
the
regional
committees
which
will
Define
how
that
looks
as
we
look
to
the
years
ahead.
Y
A
Z
Good
evening,
mayor,
Pro
Tim,
the
city
of
manager's,
not
here
and
City
Council
Members,
I'm,
Cicely,
Fleming
I,
am
still
chairing
the
alternative
to
911
response
committee
with
Alderman
Revell.
We
have
been
at
this
for
a
year
and
a
half
I
won't
bore
you
with
the
details,
but
we
have
been
working
with
Chris
and
his
team
ever
since
the
state
gave
the
contract
to
Trilogy
for
the
mental
health
Response
Team
here
in
Evanston,
as
he
said,
we
meet
monthly.
Z
We
are
now
to
the
community
engagement
section,
and
so
there
is
a
video
that
Chris
and
his
team
has
produced
with
our
communication
staff
just
to
further
clarify
what
their
service
provision
is
and
how
you
reach
them.
As
he
mentioned,
there
is
988,
it
is
a
Statewide
system,
so
we
don't
control
that
and
it
can
be
a
little
bit
clunky,
but
there
are
new
flyers
in
English
and
Spanish
that
we've
produced
that
actually
have
the
direct
Number
Four
trilogy.
So
you
can
call
Trilogy
directly.
Z
If
you
need
service
or
someone
else
needs
service,
you
can
also
call
9-1-1
and
request
it.
It
is
their
preview
whether
they
said
not
their
officers
or
Trilogy.
You
know
because
that's
their
their
jurisdiction,
so
we've
worked
closely
with
them.
We
understand
that
you
know
there.
There
are
more
services
that
are
needed.
I
know
it's
come
up
several
times
with
you
all
about
Services,
particularly
for
the
homeless.
That
is
not
their
specialty.
Z
Z
22,
but
they
cover
a
variety
of
municipalities,
so
we
we
can't
just
have
them
here
only
serving
our
downtown
and
other
areas
that
are
in
need.
That
would
be
something
I
would
encourage
you
all
to
look
to
either
another
service
provider
for-
or
you
know,
supplement
what's
happening.
I
do
think,
because
this
is
a
state
sponsored
service.
We
want
to
be
careful
that
we
don't
try
to
direct
their
work.
They
are
paid
for
by
the
state
of
Illinois,
and
so
they
have
a
specific
scope
of
work.
Z
They
also
report
to
the
state
as
well
as
us,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
asking
them
to
do
more
work
outside
of
their
purview,
particularly
to
show
up
and
only
respond
to
calls
in
a
certain
area.
I
do
also
want
to
address.
There
was
an
email
that
I
think
automobile
shared
that
a
gentleman
share
regarding
the
response
that
Chris
and
his
team
made
to
a
lady
I'm
in
need,
and
his
concern
was
that
she
was
able
to
say
that
she
did
not
want
service.
Z
Therefore,
Chris
and
his
team
moved
on.
They
are
not.
There
are
laws,
obviously
to
protect
all
of
us
and
our
rights
on
the
street,
and
so,
if
Chris
does
encounter
someone,
they
cannot
just
force
themselves
upon
people.
People
have
the
right,
no
matter
what
their
mental
state
is
to
decline
service,
and
so
a
person
was
upset
about
that.
But
that
is
something
you
know
another
issue
that
should
be
taken
up
with
our
federal,
not
federal
our
state
legislators.
Z
If
we
don't
like
that
plan,
just
like
when
police
show
up,
you
know
they
can
do
some
service,
but
they
cannot
just
whisk
you
away
because
they
decide
to
so
I
think
we
just
want
to
keep
communication
opened
with
Chris
and
his
team.
We
have.
Z
Z
They
have
worked
really
hard
with
our
other
social
service
agencies
and
have
a
great
relationship,
so
people
call
them
all
the
time
they
want
to
make
sure
you
all
have
flyers
and
information
you
need,
so
you
can
refer
people
to
them,
but
my
whole
goal
is
to
make
sure
we
are
clear
on
what
Trilogy
does
and
what
they
don't
do,
so
that
we
don't
misuse
the
state
funding
and
we
don't
risk
the
Evanston
citizens
not
having
this
service,
because
we
have
misused
State
funding.
A
Right
yeah
I
was
going
to
mention
that
so
we
have
a
new
web
page
on
the
city
website,
cityofevinson.org
mental
health,
and
it
has
in
addition
to
just
a
lot
of
resources
of
organizations
that
help
with
mental
health
issues.
A
It
describes
the
988
program.
It
describes
the
Trilogy
program.
It's
got
the
video
there
that
you
can
link
to
so
it's
and
we're
Distributing
the
flyers
in
English
and
Spanish
to
all
of
our
community
centers
and
the
library
city
clerk's
office,
so
we'll
be
we're
working
on
getting
the
word
out.
So
let
me,
let's
just
pause
a
minute.
Do
any
council
members
have
any
questions
for
the
councilmember
Burns.
AA
No
questions
just
wanted
to
to
thank
Trilogy
Chris
and
the
the
committee
for
for
working
on
this
and
I.
Don't
think
I've
ever
met
any
any
of
the
Outreach
workers
out
in
the
community.
Hopefully
I
get
that
opportunity
soon,
but
if
you
can
convey
to
them
just
how
I
mean
and
they
hopefully
they're
feeling
it
how
important
an
impactful
this
work
is
and
they're
really
on
the
the
front
line
of
I
think
some
of
the
most
critical
work
that
communities
are
doing
so.
AA
Thank
you
and
then
I
appreciate
you
Sicily
and
councilmember
Ravel
for
just
clarifying
for
this
body.
That
again,
this
is
not
a
catch-all
for
all
human
relations
and
homelessness.
Issues
in
Evanston
I
have
quite
a
few
recommendations
that
are
going
to
work
their
way
through
the
reimagining
public
safety
working
group
that
I
chair,
as
well
as
some
other
committees
and
I.
Just
we
can
do
a
this
is
an
excellent
program,
but
we
can
kind
of
capsule
this.
AA
This
is
its
own
thing
and
hopefully
we're
still
able
to
identify
other
needs
that
we
may
have
in
the
community
and
other
Solutions.
So
thank
you
for
for
coming
to
speak
Sicily
and
it's
good
to
see
you
one.
Z
Thing
I
forgot
to
mention
and
Chris
you
can
elaborate
on
this,
is
they
do
wear
plain
clothes
and
they
drive
regular
cards
for
the
you
know,
confidentiality,
I,
guess
I
will
say
and
respect
of
the
clients
that
they're
serving,
and
so
we
initially
as
a
committee
had
a
different
idea.
We
are
not
the
best
expert,
so
Chris
and
his
team
helped
educate
us
on
that,
and
so
they
they
might
show
up
and
be
talking
to
someone.
Z
You
have
no
idea
who
they
are,
because
we
want
to
respect
people's
privacy
in
that
in
that
way,
so
you
might
have
actually
seen
some
folks
and
just
you
know
not
recognize
them.
D
Thank
you,
council
member
Rafael
couple
of
questions.
One
I
guess
is
probably
to
Chris
regarding
9-1-1
versus
988
and
if
you
could
provide
some
simple
guidance
for
not
only
myself
but
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
others.
When
would
someone
call
9-1-1
and
when
would
someone
call
988
since
it's
a
new
thing.
Y
Yeah,
so
for
anything
that
is
potentially
a
medical
situation,
you're
still
going
to
want
to
call
9-1-1.
So
there
there
are
some
crisis
models
that
include
a
paramedic
on
the
team.
One
example
would
be
the
pilot
one
of
the
pilots
in
the
city
of
Chicago,
but
that
is
not
what
this
program
is
with
the
state.
So
if
something
could
be
a
medical
crisis
always
still
9-1-1,
including
there
are
some
things
that
put
our
high
chance
of
being
medical.
Y
That
may
look
like
mental
health,
so,
like
a
stroke
for
example,
or
you
know
someone
experiencing
confusion
due
to
a
medical
crisis,
and
so
we
can
also
provide
that
consultation.
If
someone
calls
us
that
does
happen
fairly
frequently,
but
so
anything
medical
still
9-1-1,
as
well
as
anything
where
the
risk
of
harm
to
someone
is
extremely
immediate.
Y
So
that
doesn't
mean
that
you
know
say:
someone's
made
a
threat
to
harm
themselves
or
someone
else.
I
would
still
reach
out
to
Oscar
988.
As
long
as
like
that,
person
isn't
right
there
with
access
to
that
means
of
harm
and
sort
of
going
to
act
quickly
on
it.
Y
So
really
the
two
reasons
to
call
9-1-1
are
medical
or
obediency
as
well
as
sort
of
looking
at
what
someone's
purpose
is
in
calling
if
the
purpose
is
not
just
to
get
that
person's
support,
but
the
purpose
is
you
know
to
remove
someone
because
they're,
trespassing
or
other
reasons
they
call
some
people
call
9-1-1.
They
overlap
with
potential
mental
health.
Symptoms
you're
still
going
to
want
to
call
9-1-1,
because
when
we
come
out
we're
going
to
be
assessing
and
providing
support
to
the
individual
and
assessing
like
any
immediate
safety
risk.
Y
So
those
are
the
reasons
you
would
still
call
9-1-1
in
terms
of
the
question
of
whether
to
call
us
directly
or
988,
what
we
kind
of
say
is
because
988
is
still
gaining
traction.
If
what
you
need
is
a
mobile
response,
still
call
us
directly.
You'll
get
through
faster
you'll,
go
through
Less
jobs
and
they're
sort
of
okay.
D
To
clarify
my
question
is
not
whether
we
should
call
you
directly
or
call
988,
but
who
should
call
988
under
under
what
circumstances
is
that
somebody
that
is
themselves
experiencing
acute
crisis
and
they
call
the
988
because
of
a
concern
about
themselves
or,
if
I,
witness
somebody
who
appears
to
be
in
mental
distress
but
perhaps
no
immediate
threat?
In
my
opinion,
do
I
call
988
or
should
I
call
9-1-1.
Y
So
it's
not
about
who
you
are
it's
about
what
the
situation
is
with
which
one
you
should
call,
so
anyone
can
call
either
one
so
988
isn't
only
for
people
calling
for
themselves.
You
can
call
on
behalf
of
a
loved
one,
so
yeah
I
I,
don't
know
how
to
answer
your
question
really
because,
like
it's
not
based
on
the
person,
it's
based
on
the
situation
which
one
you
should
follow.
Okay,.
Z
I
think
so.
This
is
the
because
I'm
going
to
jump
in
real,
quick,
so
988
is
a
national
number,
and
so
it's
like
a
almost
like
The
Runaway
hotline
right.
So
what
Chris
is
saying
is
we
would
prefer
you
call
Trilogy
directly,
and
that
number
is
on
the
mental
health
website
and
on
the
flyer,
because
when
it
goes
to
988,
it
is
routed
through
a
number
of
people
right,
so
that
might
take
a
while.
If
you
call
Trilogy
directly,
they
have
a
cell
phone
with
them
they're
within
their
service
vicinity.
They
can
get
here
faster.
Z
D
Y
So
they
all
work
in
all
of
our
service
area,
so
we
found
just
the
the
flow
of
calls
that
makes
the
most
sense,
because
people
are
most
available
and
to
answer
your
last
question
about
who
answers
988
calls
so
they're
answered
by
different
call
centers
throughout
the
state.
Y
The
largest
one
is
called
path
based
out
of
Bloomington.
So
when
someone
calls
that
call
center
answers,
the
crisis
counselor
talks
to
the
person
and
then,
if
they're,
needing
local
support
during
mobile
response,
then
they
call
us
so
and
that's
where
I
came
in
what
Sicily
and
councilman
were
saying
of.
Like
you
know,
if
you
know
that
you
want
a
mobile
response,
you
can
cut
out
that
step
and
call
us
directly
and
if
you're,
just
looking
for
someone
to
talk
to,
then
988
is
a
good
support
because
they
have
more
capacity.
D
Is
it?
Is
it
the
case
where,
in
Evanston
somebody
might
call
9-1-1,
which
warrants
which
you
know
which
pleaser
fire
would
respond
onto
upon
arrival
of
Evanston
Public
Safety
Services?
They
determined
that
trilogy
would
be
more
appropriate
and
they
call
in
Trilogy.
Z
Z
And
I
just
was
reminded
that
you
can
call
301
as
well
and
311
can
get
you
the
number
to
Trilogy
I
mean
that
should
be
on
there
things
to
do,
and
we
have
had
some
success
when
you
call
9-1-1
when
they
triage
your
call.
We
have
asked
if
they
triage
the
call
and
they
think
it's
not
a
fire
or
Police
Issue-
that
they
also
send
Trilogy
out.
A
AB
You
very
much
for
the
presentation
this
evening
and
for
all
the
work,
so
our
9-1-1
resp,
the
people
answer
9-1-1
they're
trained
on
how
to
direct
people
to
so
as
opposed
to
epd
someone
getting
getting
there
and
saying.
Oh,
this
requires
our
the
people
answer
the
phone
at
9-1-1
train
to
know
which
way
to
direct
so.
Z
N
Z
Kahoots
does
some
Technical
Training
we
we
did
not.
That
did
not
happen,
but
we
did
have
some
funding
to
take.
You
know
our
or
have
our
staff
just
been
trained
in
I.
Think
I
was
in
the
middle
of
the
pandemic,
but
they
are
trained.
You
know
the
triage
calls
for
a
variety
of
things,
not
just
for
the
trilogy
service,
and
then
we
have
provided
them
with
this
service
as
an
option.
You
know
to
send
people
out
to
so.
Z
AB
We
know
do
we
have
data
on
that,
like
how
many
times
911
has
redirected
to
or
has
directed
to
Trilogy
just
to
get.
Y
Yeah,
so
we
do
that
quarterly
I
I
would
have
to
find
pull
out
the
Evanston
specific
one,
but
I
can
send
that
to
counseling
an
email.
AB
Would
be
great,
thank
you
and
so
are
most
of
the
calls.
Are
they
from
9-1-1
routing
the
call
to
Trilogy,
or
is
it
mostly
people
calling
Trilogy
or
nine
or
eight
eight
nine,
eight
eight
directly.
Y
Pretty
big
mix,
the
largest
category
is
south.
Second
largest
is
family,
so
as
of
like
our
most
recent
quarterly
data,
which
is
April
through
June,
just
because
we're
about
to
finish
this
quarter
in
terms
of
who
called
it
was
43
South,
18,
family,
13,
police,
10,
Community
organizations
and
then
six
percent
Hospital.
AB
So
so,
when
it's
selling,
if
it's
43,
does
that
mean?
Could
that
be
divided
between
calling
9-1-1
or
calling
Trilogy
I
just
would
like
to
get
an
idea
as
to
because
I
think
people
will
always
you
know.
9-1-1
is
always
at
people's
fingers
tips
and
I'm.
Just
wondering
how
often
911
is
routing
the
response
to
Trilogy.
Y
AB
More
call
do
we
know
in
that
report
that
you'll
give
us
we'll
see
data
like
how
many
roughly
a
day,
okay,
great.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
I
didn't
have
a
question.
I
just
really
wanted
to
say.
As
councilmember
Byrne
said,
Thank
you
to
the
whole
team.
I
am
really
excited
about.
This
really
excited
to
see
the
living
room
move
forward.
It's
an
eighth
Ward
and
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
run
into
one
of
the
Outreach
workers.
I
was
at
near
Trader
Joe's
a
spot
we're
familiar
with,
and
the
Outreach
worker
came
up
and
interacted
in
plain
clothes
interacted
with
the
folks
who
are
out
there
panhandling.
E
As
we
know
at
Trader
Joe's-
and
you
know
it's
just
wonderful
to
see.
You
know
this
kind
of
Engagement
in
the
city.
So
thank
you
great.
A
Thanks-
and
we
were
also
going
to
hear
from
staff
about
the
living
room,
do
we
have
a
I.
AA
That's
for
Chris,
but
I
mentioned
at
the
last
I.
Think
the
last
update
that
if
we
could
get
Evanston
specific
data
that
that
would
be
helpful,
I
know
you
said
that
was
somewhat
difficult
to
do,
but
all
right
will
we
be
able
to
get
that
moving
forward.
Y
Yeah
so
I
had
sent
that
for
April
through
June
and
so
I'm
gonna
do
because
we
just
have
a
quarter.
That's
about
to
end
then
I
can
also
include
that
with
that
as
well.
So
it's
more
Upstate.
Okay!
Thank
you.
Z
And
just
if
we,
my
my
last
plug
and
I'll,
leave
you
all
alone,
so
they
are
Mental,
Health
crisis
response,
team,
I.
Think
it's
important
because
we
think
Outreach.
We
know
we
have
an
Outreach
team
here
and
also
we
think
Outreach
like
they're,
going
out
to
find
clients.
That
is
not
the
scope
of
their
work.
So
I
just
want
to
be
careful
because
I
know
you
all
have
talked
a
lot
about
having
some
other
service
provision.
If
we
want
to
be
clear
on
who's
doing
what
that
you
know,
they
are
responding
to
Mental
Health
crisis.
Z
AC
Good
evening,
members
of
city
council,
mayor
Pro,
tem
clerk,
Mendoza
and
city
manager,
so
Allison
leipzigger
policy
coordinator
I,
have
a
very
short
update
on
the
living
room,
which
is
that
we
just
last
week
got
some
potential
drawings
back
from
Architects,
and
our
sort
of
Baseline
is
coming
in
a
little
bit
above.
What's
been
allotted
for
the
capital
Improvement
for
this
building,
so
you
all
approved
about
250,
not
about
you,
approved
250
000,
to
renovate
the
two-bedroom
house
on
Saint
Francis
campus.
AC
AC
It's
it's
going
to
be
closer
to
six
hundred
thousand
for
the
capital
Improvement.
So
I've
begun
some
discussions
with
the
mayor
about
potential
fundraising
options.
If
anybody
else
has
some
ideas,
that
would
be
great
open
to
suggestions,
but
the
plan
is
like
the
Baseline
plan
is
actually
really
nice.
Really
functional
is
going
to
work.
Really
well
for
that
space
and
should
be
great,
so
I'm
happy
to
answer
yeah
a.
N
E
Maybe
I,
maybe
they're
so
I
I
I
am
curious,
so
I'm.
Sorry,
the
the
initial
investment
that
the
city
council
that
the
city
made
was.
E
This
an
is
this
a
new
number
that
we
weren't,
aware
of,
or
okay,
yes
to
be
clear,
and
so
speaking
of
suggestions,
I
mean
we
still
have
arpa
funds.
We
see
this
is
important
if
we
need
to
kick
in,
you
know
another
whatever
it
is
from
arpa.
You
know,
I
think
that
I'm,
hoping
and
I
think
this
council
is
committed
to
to
doing
that
for
this
really
important
project.
Thanks.
AA
This
is
not
only
about
this,
but
just
an
update
on
I
know
we're
having
some
conversations
with
the
the
tank,
Francis,
Hospital
I,
believe
and
maybe
possibly
Evanston
Community
Foundation,
so
whether
we
we
want
to
you
want
to
do
that.
Update
now
or
offline
I'm,
just
curious
how
those
conversations
are
going
without
about.
AC
A
Thank
you,
okay.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
and
thank
you.
Everyone
thank
you,
Chris
for
being
with
us
this
evening
and
for
your
partnership.
The
trilogy
programs
is
really
very
exciting
for
Evanston
I
I
wanted
to
just
mention
the
other
organizations
that
have
been
working
with
us
to
develop.
A
This
whole
approach:
peer,
Services,
the
Moran,
Center
connections
for
the
homeless,
impact
Behavioral,
Health
and
representative
from
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
so
we've
had
really
robust
participation
from
a
number
of
organizations
in
the
community
and
it's
coming
coming
to
fruition
now
with
the
trilogy
program.
So
thank
you
and
we
look
forward
to
the
continued
partnership.
N
Z
Yeah
and
we
did
have
some
yes,
we
did
have
a
citizen
myself,
I'm
a
citizen
now
well
and
Evangeline,
see.
A
Right
anyway,
okay,
great,
thank
you,
okay.
So
let's
move
on
to
SP2,
which
is
our
parking
study
and
I,
believe
we
have
a
presentation.
AD
City
manager,
so
yes,
we
have
a
presentation
of
this
is
way
overdue.
It
was
Council
ask
for
a
parking
study
in
2019.
We
issue
the
RFP.
We
received
three
bids.
Two
of
them
was
good
and
we
choose
the
company
WGN.
It
was
the
best
bid,
the
online
because
of
the
covet.
We
have
to
postpone
the
data,
so
they
actually
performed
a
study
on
2022.
So
it's
very
current
and
I
think
they're
online.
AD
So
Ashley
and
Benjamin
are
you
hearing
us?
Yes,.
AD
AE
Okay,
wonderful,
okay,
so
good
evening
my
name
is
Ashley
Orr,
a
professional
engineer
with
over
seven
years
of
experience
in
roadway
design,
traffic
analysis
and
parking
planning
joining
me
today
is
Ben
Sands,
an
industry
veteran
with
well
over
20
years
of
experience
in
both
the
planning
and
operation
of
parking
facilities.
We
are
thrilled
for
the
opportunity
to
have
worked
with
the
City
of
Evanston
Parking
Services
team
on
this
parking
study,
Michael,
Rivera
and
Mark
tureen.
Thank
you
and
are
here
to
briefly
present
our
findings
and
recommendations
to
you
this
evening.
AE
AE
So,
first
and
foremost,
the
Evanston
parking
study
seeks
to
determine
the
best
solutions
for
resolving
current
parking
challenges
and
assisting
proactive
parking
planning
to
contribute
to
the
city's
growth.
The
study
includes
analysis
and
recommendations
that
endeavor
to
one
address
the
changing
patterns
and
behaviors
of
parking
in
your
city
to
provide
an
objective
perspective
of
approaches.
Local
and
other
communities
around
the
country
have
taken
and
three
make
recommendations
to
improve
and
position.
AE
Evanston
has
nearly
7
000,
on-street
and
off-street
designated
spaces
throughout
the
municipality
equating
to
0.9
spaces
per
capita.
We
should
note
that
this
does
not
include
on-street
parking
within
the
city's
25
residential
permit
areas.
So
again,
a
pretty
high
number
of
spaces
that
the
city
has
to
manage.
The
City
of
Evanston
parking
services
staff
manages
these
on
and
off
street
parking
facilities,
employing
11
full-time
non-police
enforcement
personnel
and
these
individuals
issue
parking
tickets
throughout
Evanston
and
also
serve
as
curbside
customer
service
ambassadors
to
the
city.
AE
While
much
of
Evanston
is
residential.
There
are
four
notable
retail
entertainment
and
recreational
areas
that
Supply
the
majority
of
evanston's
designated
public
parking,
as
can
be
seen
on
the
screen.
This
includes
the
Downtown
parking
District,
the
Central
Street
Corridor
parking
District,
the
main
Dempster
mile
parking
district
and
the
lakefront
area,
a
review
of
some
existing
rates
and
time
limits
on
street
and
off
Street,
typically
on
streets
rates
range
from
50
cents
to
two
dollars
per
hour,
with
three
dollars
per
hour
for
out
of
town
visitors
in
the
lakefront
area.
AE
The
majority
of
these
spaces
have
a
two
hour
time
limit
and
shift
to
four
hour
time
limits.
After
5
PM
off
streets
includes
three
gated
garages
and
37
surface
Lots
in
the
garages,
fees
are
paid
in
tiered
rate
bans,
depending
on
the
hours
parked
not
to
exceed
18
per
day
monthly
permits
range
from
115
to
130
dollars
per
month.
In
the
surface,
Lots
metered
parking
is
typically
two
dollars
per
hour
and
monthly
permits
in
those
surface
slots
are
typically
ninety
dollars
per
month.
AE
A
core
component
of
this
study
included
a
peer
review
and
comparing
the
city
of
evanston's
operations
policies
and
rates
to
other
Progressive
cities
around
the
country.
We
worked
very
closely
with
parking
services
staff
to
nail
down
a
list
of
15
cities
who
were
ultimately
Chosen
and
invited
to
participate
via
an
emailed
questionnaire.
AF
Our
recommendations
included
raising
the
two
dollar
rate,
Broad
Street
Parking,
to
a
rate
that
would
achieve
the
desired
10
to
20
vacancy
ratio
per
block.
We
didn't
want
to
provide
a
uniform
rate
strategy
for
all
blocks,
because
all
blocks
are
not
the
same.
Individual
blocks
that
experience
higher
rates
of
occupancy
and
demand
should
be
priced
accordingly.
Occupancy
should
drive
rates.
AF
Moving
on
to
the
residential
parking
permits
and
comparisons,
as
you'll
see
here,
the
the
permit
fees
for
Evanston
are
very
similar
to
many
of
the
cities
that
were
polled.
AF
AF
They
need
to
have
an
adaptation
of
policy
and
and
price
to
affect
the
demand
for
that
given
area
and
as
we
move
on
garage
daily
maximums,
the
rate
bans
charged
by
the
city
are
are
certainly
different
than
than
many
other
municipalities
and
private
parking
entities
charge.
The
the
maximum
rate
is
not
achieved
until
very
late
in
the
day
after
a
12-hour
period
or
more
is
achieved,
and
typically
maximum
rates
are
achieved
somewhere
in
that
eight
hour
time
frame.
AF
So
our
recommendation
was
to
it's
also
worth
noting
that
the
the
parking
rates
that
are
charged
in
the
surface
lots
of
two
dollars
per
hour
technically
exceed
the
rates
that
are
being
charged
in
the
garage.
We
felt
that
those
needed
to
be
brought
closer
into
alignment
and-
and
we
recommended
that
that
the
city
reassess
the
structure
of
the
rates
for
the
garages
to
adapt
to
more
hourly
oriented
rate.
AF
Garage
permit
rates,
so
this
is
very
similar.
I
think.
The
main
thing
we
took
away
from
from
this
exercise
was
that
the
rates
charged
in
the
City
of
Evanston
or
by
the
City
of
Evanston
are
are
significantly
lower
than
the
the
rates
charged
by
private
entities.
Operating
parking
for
a
fee
in
in
the
city
and
and
as
you
can
see
by
the
chart
here
there
again,
Evanston
is
towards
the
lower
end
of
the
Spectrum
in
terms
of
the
fees
charged
and
there's.
AE
Moving
on
also
also
to
an
assessment
of
parking
rules
and
restrictions
in
Central
Business
districts,
this
included
questions
pertaining
to
demand-based
pricing
in
the
cities
that
were
pulled
and
then
also
regarding
employee
permits.
AE
So
in
the
case
of
demand-based
pricing,
we
got
a
lot
of
great
data
and
input
from
cities,
but
we
wanted
to
point
out
several
items
to
you.
For
example,
Portsmouth
practices,
demand-based
pricing
in
the
form
of
their
stay
and
pay
price
curve.
This
payment
schedule
was
designed
to
economically
encourage
space
turnover
at
the
third
hour
in
their
High
occupancy
zones
by
raising
the
hourly
rate
for
longer
term
Parkers
in
Cincinnati.
AE
On-Street
rates
are
demand
based,
ranging
from
75
cents
to
1.50
per
hour
on
neighborhood
streets,
but
that
increased
to
two
dollars
or
275
per
hour
in
the
central
business
district.
Additionally,
Cincinnati
offers
reduced
evening
and
weekend
rates
and
some
underutilized
locations.
So
our
recommendation
is
to
consider
implementing
a
demand-based
parking
pricing
program
similar
to
portsmouth's
that
raises
rates
after
a
certain
time
threshold
on
key
downtown
streets
to
further
encourage
turnover
and
then
also
to
keep
reduced
evening
and
weekend
rates
and
under
utilize
locations
to
increase
parking
utilization
in
terms
of
employee
permits.
AE
Among
the
the
cities
that
were
pulled,
offering
on-street
parking
permits
to
business
employees
within
residential
permit
zones
was
not
common
practice.
It
should
be
noted
that
both
Minneapolis
and
Columbus
allow
employees
to
park
within
residential
parking
zones
using
specific
employee
permits
that
are
restrictive
by
a
time
period
and
are
extremely
expensive.
AE
AF
AF
Comparing
Evanston
to
the
to
the
other
cities
and,
as
you
can
see
again,
Evanston
is
on
the
lower
end
of
the
Spectrum
in
terms
of
the
parking
fines
that
are
charged
and
and
as
a
result,
we
believe
the
they're
on
the
upper
end
of
the
of
the
spectrum
for
the
number
of
tickets
issued.
Some
of
that
may
be
attributable
to
the
the
Collegiate
environment
and
and
the
flow
of
of
users.
But
it's
also
attributable
to
the
diligence
of
the
parking
services
division
in
terms
of
upholding
the
the
controls
that
are
in
place.
AF
I
I
would
say
that
having
a
a
suppressed
enforcement
rate
or
are
parking,
fine
scenario
does
typically
encourage
a
a
type
of
cat
and
mouse
behavior
between
the
parking
users
and
the
enforcement
staff,
where,
where
they're
essentially
like
to
test
the
boundaries
and
controls
that
the
the
city
sets
with
parking
enforcement
and
increasing
that
fine
amount
does
typically
increase
compliance
with
the
rules
and
regulations.
AF
AF
Is
that
an
assessment
of
the
of
the
parking
fines
is
necessary
to
to
to
to
to
bring
those
fines
in
line
with
the
actual
expense
involved,
in
issuing
the
fines
issuing
the
tickets
collecting
on
the
tickets.
AE
Study
was
to
observe
parking
operations
and
challenges
during
Northwestern
football
games
and
other
special
events.
I
mean
this
was
specifically
to
understand
the
concerns
of
local
neighborhood
residents.
Specifically,
observations
were
performed
at
two
highly
attended
events:
the
Northwestern
versus
Iowa
football
game
on
November
6th
of
last
year
and
the
Northwestern
versus
Indiana
men's
basketball
game
on
February
8th
of
this
year.
AE
Again,
our
report
dives
into
a
lot
of
observations
that
were
gleaned
from
from
our
time
on
site,
but
some
key
observations
that
we'd
like
to
point
out
to
you
tonight,
is
that,
as
you
know,
Evanston
does
see
a
high
demand
for
on-street
spaces
on
its
neighborhood
streets
during
football
games.
However,
we
did
not
experience
or
see
any
une
unsafe
or
inaccessible
on
Street
conditions
in
which
emergency
vehicles
could
not
Traverse
narrow
streets.
Due
to
Illegal
parking.
AE
Evanston
residents
can
park
for
free
a
municipal
lot
54
with
a
paid
wheel.
Tax
Evanston
should
consider
charging
a
flat
rate
for
all
Parkers,
regardless
of
residency
status,
to
accrue
additional
revenue
and
ensure
that
residents
are
not
taking
advantage
of
the
opportunity
to
relocate
their
personal
vehicles
to
sell
space
on
their
lawns
and
driveways.
Obviously,
this
is
not
something
that
we
know
is
happening
in
Evanston,
but
we've
seen
this
in
other
jurisdictions
and
it
is
a
possibility
on
that
note.
AE
Evanston
does
not
experience
rampant
illegal
parking
on
lawns
and
private
property,
but,
as
you
can
see
in
the
photo
on
the
bottom
left,
there
is
a
small
group
of
residents
that
are
taking
advantage
of
the
opportunity
to
advertise
and
sell
parking
space
on
their
lawns.
Consistent
enforcement
of
city
code
by
police
is
necessary
to
curbing
this
illegal

of
Isabella
Street
within
the
city
of
Wilmette.
AE
Many
of
the
neighborhood
streets
have
semi-permanent
city
issued
signs,
as
you
can
see
in
the
center
of
this
of
the
screen
prohibiting
parking
before
and
after
Northwestern
games,
while
parking
is
prohibited
on
Lincoln
Street,
Central,
Street
and
Isabella
Street
in
Evanston
Evanston
has
no
such
restrictions
on
neighborhood
streets
and,
lastly,
we
wanted
to
just
point
out
that
there
were
significant
delays
that
were
observed
at
the
intersection
of
Central
Street
and
Ashland
Avenue
in
particular.
AE
So
this
is
just
something
to
note,
as
we
move
forward
to
the
basketball
game
observations
in
an
effort
to
understand
the
specific
nuances
of
a
non-football
game
day.
Event
of
the
men's
basketball
game
versus
Indiana
was
identified
for
observation.
AE
Obviously,
there
are
going
to
be
some
key
differences
between
a
basketball
game
and
a
football
game
and
they're
worth
noting,
of
course,
significantly
less
Spectators
and
tailgating
at
basketball,
games
and
non-season
ticket
holders
are
permitted
to
park
in
Northwestern,
Lots,
101
and
102,
whereas
these
lots
are
available
only
to
season
ticket
holders
for
football
games.
AE
AE
You
know
our
observations
revealed
from
both
studies
that
Evanston
doesn't
have
a
game
day
parking
problem,
while
there
are
certainly
ways
to
improve
the
parking
conditions,
as
described
on
the
previous
slide
observations
before
the
basketball
game,
especially
reinforced
the
fact
that
issues
are
more
closely
tied
to
traffic
congestion
and
circulation,
especially
at
the
ticketed
entrances
to
the
Northwestern
Lots
101
and
102.
Evanston
must
work
with
Evanston,
University
or
Northwestern
University
to
establish
better
entry
and
exit
procedures
that
do
not
clog
Central
Street
in
Isabella
Street.
AE
Of
course,
there
are
options
if
additional
or
more
restrictive
permit
regulations
are
desired,
given
that
residential
permit
district
6
surrounds
the
stadium
and
Arena,
it's
an
easy
candidate
for
instating,
more
restrictive
permit
regulations
encompassing
these
events,
and
our
recommendation
is
that
the
city
continued
to
Monitor,
occupancies
and
conditions
in
the
affected,
neighborhoods
and
adjust
policies.
If
this
is
deemed
necessary,
so
with
that
the
recommendations
provided
in
this
study
are,
of
course
not
all
encompassing.
AE
It
should
not
be
viewed
as
an
ultimate
solution
to
all
of
the
parking
problems
in
the
City
of
Evanston,
but
the
point
of
this
study
was
to
give
you
a
snapshot
into
what
other
Progressive
cities
around
the
country
are
doing
and
provide
a
general
or
general
recommendations
that
could
be
further
honed
with
additional
occupancy
data.
Ultimately,
evanston's
parking
assets
are
the
first
and
last
Impressions
that
visitors
have
of
your
city
and
they
must
be
managed
in
a
way
that
is
efficient,
adaptable,
Equitable
and
accessible
for
all
of
your
residents,
business
owners
and
visitors.
AE
AG
AE
A
AD
A
Well,
just
before
we
launch
into
the
discussion
I
neglected
to
ask
for
a
motion
so
that
we
can
have.
E
Move
item
SP2:
okay,.
E
Thank
you
yeah,
so
I
both
appreciate
our
city
staff.
You
know
for
for
leading
on
this
and,
of
course,
WGI
for
doing
the
work,
one
of
the
and
I
you
know
Mike
and
Lucas
and
I,
particularly
Mike
in
his
former
role,
which
is
Lucas's
role,
knows
how
supportive
I
am
of
increasing
our
revenue
from
parking,
because
it's
one
of,
if
you
think
about
it,
it's
one
of
the
greatest
subsidies
that
we
give
to
Residents
I.
E
Think
it's
fair
to
categorize
free
parking
or
underpriced
parking
as
a
subsidy,
because
we,
as
the
city,
the
taxpayers,
have
to
maintain
the
infrastructure
and,
if
we're
not
collecting
the
proper
Revenue
to
maintain
that
infrastructure.
That
is
the
almost
definition
of
a
subsidy.
You
were
giving
it
away
below
value,
and
so
this
will
help
bring
us
in
line.
E
Some
of
this
will
help
bring
us
in
line
with
with
with
winnowing
down
on
that
subsidy
and
allocating
that
money
to
things
that
I
think
you
know,
I
think
many
of
us
would
think
are
more
important,
such
as
our
environmental
sustainability
initiatives
such
as
you
know,
affordable
housing
and
other
places
where
this
this
you
know
where,
if
we
in
this
subsidy,
where
these
funds
can
go,
in
fact,
we
in
part
did
something
similar
this
year
by
increasing
the
will
tax
and
dedicating
that
money
toward
green
infrastructure,
and
so
there'll
be
250
000
annually
that
we
can
bring
in
on
that
and
I
think
we
need
to
think
about
that.
E
More
and
more
one
of
the
questions
that
I
have
is
relating
to
residential
parking
permits
and
using
a
demand
based
approach
on
this
I
wonder
if,
if
WGI.
E
Uses
an
equity
lens
when,
when
looking
at
some
of
that
stuff,
because
I
represent
the
south
end
of
Evanston
I
know
we
have
our
fair
share
of
residential
parking
permits
in
my
ward,
it
tends
to
be
in
areas
where
there
are
apartment
buildings
and
those
apartment.
Buildings
tend
in
Evanston
to
be.
Where
are
more
moderate
and
low-income
residents
live.
E
If
you
go
to
the
north
part
of
town
where
they
have
driveways
everywhere,
they
don't
need
to
park
on
the
street
because
they
have
a
driveway,
but
in
in
dense
areas
where
more
low
income
and
moderate
income
folks
live.
This
is
an
issue,
so
is
equity,
something
that's
taken
into
consideration
when
you
all
look
at
residential
parking
permits
and
demand
based
pricing,
certainly.
AF
I
can
speak
to
this
Ashley
I'm.
Sorry,
certainly
you
know.
Equity
is
always
part
of
the
conversation.
You
know
many
times.
We've
seen
that
cities,
you
know,
adopt
kind
of
a
an
equity
exclusion
or
or
discount,
for
you
know,
based
on
socioeconomic
status
or
or
income
as
a
mechanism
to
ensure
Equitable
access
for
citizens
of
lower
income,
and
so
there
are
certainly
ways
to
work
around.
You
know
the
permit
fees
as
they're
charged
and
take
into
account
kind
of
Citizen
circumstances
and
and
and
needs.
E
Thank
you
all
right
for
communities
that
may
be
aren't
as
progressively
minded
as
Evanston
I'd
hope.
Maybe
that
can
work
it
into
your
presentations
in
the
future.
So
I
also
am
Curious.
You
know
what
you
showed
there
was
that
you
know
we
have.
You
know,
finds
parking.
Fines
that
are
much
lower
than
some
of
our
the
comparable
communities,
but
are
enforcement,
is,
is
much
higher
than
I
think
almost
all
of
the
communities,
if
not
maybe
one
or
two
or
higher
than
us,
but
so
and
I
heard.
E
You
say
that
you
think
there
is
a
correlation.
There
could
be
a
correlation
between
increased
parking,
fines
and
compliance
or
the
decrease
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
fines
that
are
issued.
AF
E
You
or
this
is
also
this
question-
is
for
staff
too
I
know
our
parking.
Fines
are
flat
across
the
board,
correct
and
so
then
I
guess
this
is
maybe
WGI
or
or
staff.
Have
we
heard
of
communities
that
have
issued
parking
fines
as
defined
by
certain
districts
or
zones
where
you
know
maybe
parking
fines
downtown,
maybe
higher
than
parking
fines
in
the
neighborhoods,
certainly
okay,
so
I
am
and
and
so
I'm
highly
supportive
of
this
I
I
really
think
this
is
a
huge
issue
that
we
should
be
looking
at.
E
I
know.
Some
of
my
colleagues
have
read
you
know,
and
the
city
managers
talk
just
talking
to
him
works
by
folks
like
Donald,
Shoup
and
I.
Think
his
book
is
called
the
high
cost
of
free
parking.
E
There's
and
I
still
didn't
look
up
his
name
there's
another
gentleman
who
writes
really
has
a
few
really
good
books
on
this
and
I
I
think
we
really
need
to
start
taking
seriously
what
the
city
is
giving
up
in
in
financial
gains
to
subsidize
free
parking
and
I
know
that
you
know
some
folks
say
that,
oh,
if
we
raise
parking
rates,
you
know
I've
read,
you
know
the
Evanston
Now.
E
If
we
do
that,
but
there's
plenty
of
research
that
shows
when
you
price
parking
correctly,
you
can
actually
have
a
positive
impact
on
the
Financial
business.
On
the
I'm,
sorry,
on
the
on
the
business
districts,
you
can
increase
Revenue,
increase
sales
tax
increase
the
local
businesses
Revenue
by
creating
that
turnover,
getting
more
customers
in
and
and
they're
they're
I
think.
E
There
are
plenty
of
things
we
can
do
to
to
gain
this
extra
Revenue
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
funds
necessary
to
maintain
remain
our
road
and
parking
infrastructure
which
again
to
remind
this
where
this
body
needs
no
reminding
that
we
have
a
hundred
million
dollar
unfunded
pension
liability
and
by
and
I'm
sorry
pension
liability
infrastructure
liability
and
by
by
appropriately
capturing
revenue
for
parking.
E
That
can
be
a
substantial
boost
to
helping
us
winnow
down
that
that
unfunded
liability
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
some
of
the
best
infrastructure
for
our
residents
and
I
think
that
is
what
residents
will
appreciate
when
they
see
that
their
roads
are
paved,
that
their
curbs
are
properly
maintained
and
that
our
infrastructure
is
is
where
it
in
the
condition
that
it
needs
to
be
in.
So
thank
you.
Okay,.
AH
Council
member
Harris
good
evening,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
Echo
what
council
member
Reed
said
about
density
that
we
really
need
to
make
sure
that
our
densely
populated
areas
are
not
subjected
to
higher
rates,
because
that
is
our
lower
income,
usually
income
population,
and
that
would
be
just
concerned
very
disconcerting
to
me.
If
that
is
how
we
look
at
this
skill.
D
You
thank
you,
mayor,
Pro,
tem,
I,
have
a
couple
questions
and
then
some
feedback.
So
two
questions
for
Ashley
or
Benjamin.
One
is
just
a
point
of
information
if
you
could
go
to
where
the
page,
where
it
listed
spaces
per
capita
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
understanding
that
number
correctly,
it
says
0.9
spaces
per
capita
I'm
wondering
if
that
should
be
.09.
D
D
V
D
D
That
one
okay,
so
the
chart
on
the
right
number
of
tickets
issued
annually
per
capita.
Are
those
tickets
just
for
expired,
meter,
fines
or
is
that
all
tickets,
including
including
Street,
failure
to
move
for
street
sweeping
which
thank
you
for
yeah
you're,
welcome
very
much
for
the
hundreds
of
dollars
that
I
paid
to
the
City
of
Evanston
every
year.
Thank.
D
D
Just
meters,
okay,
thank
you
for
clarifying
that
and
then
some
some
feedback
for
staff.
You
know
I
hear
what
council
member
Reed
is
saying
about
the
potential
impact,
or
lack
thereof,
perhaps
on
on
businesses
and
I.
Think
if
our
downtown
business
district
were
flooded
with
customers,
you
know
those
arguments
would
carry
a
lot
of
weight
with
me.
A
lot
of
weight,
we're
not
in
that
condition.
D
Right
now
and
until
we
recover
from
the
pandemic,
and
until
we
have
a
our
downtown
business
district
is
once
again
thriving
and
bustling,
and
things
are
at
capacity.
I
would
be,
you
know
very
reluctant
to
raise
parking
rates
downtown.
AD
This
is
just
a
report
which
was
ordered
by
city
council,
so
this
is
the
Baseline
where
we're
standing
on
our
parking
operation,
it's
up
to
the
the
body
to
decide
if
we
want
to
raise
all
over
the
the
prices.
There's
a
lot
of
different
opinion
about
this,
but
it
seemed
like
we
are
under
not
over
so
there's
room
for
improvement.
It
depends
how
fast
you
want
to
improve
on
the
on
the
rates.
Also,
why
I
want
to
remind
everybody?
AD
The
parking
also
costs
like
we
just
approved
one
million
dollar
or
this
year,
just
concrete
repairs
into
the
parking
garages,
so
this
is
only
has
to
somehow
we
have
to
recall
recoup
our
investment,
this
investment
on
equipment,
this
investment
on
the
licensing,
this
out
of
thing,
which
you
also
have
to
spend
to
make
sure
we
can
issue
the
tickets.
So
luckily
we
have
a
great
report.
I
think
they
Consulting
did
a
great
job.
We
have
a
good
Baseline.
It's
now
up
to
the
body.
AI
Thank
you.
This
question,
I
suppose,
is
for
staff
Lucas
or
Luke.
How
are
we
gonna
reconcile
this
with
the
business
district
study?
That's
expected
to
be
completed
in
January.
Are
we
going
to
merge
these
because
it's
very
likely
that
the
opinions
expressed
about
parking
and
that
study
will
be
different
than
these.
F
F
Good
evening
mayor
pro-time
members
of
city
council,
city
clerk
Luke
show
city
manager.
We
actually
spoke
about
that
today
in
a
staff
meeting
and
our
thought
process
is.
We
would
like
to
wait
until
January
February,
when
we
have
the
business
district
survey
to
kind
of
merge
the
two
and
get
feedback
from
that
report,
along
with
this
before
making
any
substantial
changes.
Okay,.
F
C
A
Any
other
council
members
who
have
a
question
or
a
comment:
I'll
I'll,
throw
in
a
couple
so
given
that
the
Seventh
Ward
butts
up
against
Wilmette,
which
has
ample
free,
on-street
parking,
I'm
I'm
concerned
that
that
wasn't
considered
a
pure
City
or
or
considered
in
the
in
this,
in
the
comparisons
but
and
I
do
have
to
Echo
the
remarks
we've
heard
from
Ken
prosky
about
the
impact
of
basketball
games
have
a
huge
impact.
The
residents
come
home
after
work
and
they
can't
find
a
place
to
park.
A
So
so
we
do
have
a
parking
problem
on
game
days
around
the
around
the
campus
and
I
guess,
yeah
I,
think
involving
the
business
community
and
in
discussing
the
findings
from
this
report
will
be
very
important,
Next
Step,
so,
but
very
interesting,
and
really
appreciate
having
that
information.
AA
AA
N
A
Aye
all
opposed
no
excellent.
All
right,
then
we're
ready
for
sp3
and
so
could
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
this
item.
It's
the
subdivision
for
1224
Washington
I.
A
Okay,
so
it's
been
moved
and
seconded.
Is
there
foreign.
AG
I
guess
I'll
kind
of
explain
so
early
on
the
you
know.
This
was
brought
before
the
land
use
commission
back
in
February
and
then
came
before
planning
and
development
and
at
that
time,
in
April
the
curb
cut
for
the
property
subdivision
was
removed
and
then,
since
then,
with
talking
with
the
owner
and
also
with
staff
kind
of
we,
you
know
found
that
you
know
the
having
the
easement
through
the
back
of
the
property
is
not
kind
of
the
best
solution
to
kind
of
having
a
subdivision,
and
so
you
know
I'm.
AG
AB
Thank
you
so
I'll
support
this
I
just
did
pnd,
though
vote
not
to
against
the
curb
cut.
Just
so
I'm
clear,
I
know,
pnd.
AB
Allow
the
the
additional
law,
but
just
not
the
curve
and
you're,
recommending
the
curb
cut
yes,
okay,
so
I
love
the
the
project
and
the
business
and
the
music
I
I
I'm,
going
to
support
this,
but
I
do
I,
wish
there,
because
there's
a
curb
cut
on
Asbury
I
wish
that
could
continue
with
an
easement
for
the
second
property
so
as
not
to
bring
a
curb
cut
into
a
residential
block
with
Saint
Nick's
down
the
street,
but
that
you
say
that's
already
been
explored.
AB
AG
If
you
look
at
the
the
property,
I
mean
there's
the
current
curb
cut
the
the
property
owner
Parks
his
car.
There
you'd
have
to
extend
that
through
and
it'd
be
I,
don't
know
how
you'd
park
your
car
and
have
the
easement
I
don't
know
if
Sue
wants
to
or
or
talk
about
it,
a
little
bit.
AJ
I
can
speak
to
it
So.
Currently,
the
kind
of
lock
configuration
sorry
Liz,
Williams
planning
manager,
the
lock
configuration
has
access
on
the
corner
coming
off
of
Asbury.
It
is
sufficient
currently
for
that
property's
parking.
That's
that's
what
they're
using
that
area
for
when
you
introduce
the
need
for
the
cross
access
for
the
interior
lot,
it
would
potentially
jeopardize
the
ability
for
that
property
to
park.
A
car
Plus
have
enough
space
to
get
that
secondary
car
through
to
the
interior
a
lot.
AJ
N
AB
AB
Through
or
if
there
was
a
parking
space
made
that
you
know
on
the
as
you
go
into
the
curb
cut
and
turn
left,
potentially
there
could
be
an
additional
parking
space,
I'm
saying
I
mean
else
I
just
wish.
There
were
a
way
to
get
around
this
curve
cut
on
this
residential
street
with,
like
I,
said
state
next
school
down.
The
block
seems
like
it
would
be
better
for
the
neighborhood.
E
Yes,
I
am
in
support
of
this
I
have
a
very
similar
situation
that
will
be
coming
to
Council
in
the
next
few
months
for
for
curb
cut
in
relation
to
that,
and
you
know,
the
land
use
commission
may
not
support
it.
Q
E
I
do
think
this
makes
sense
and
we
shouldn't
be
making
life
harder
for
residents.
I
know
that
part
of
the
arguments
against
things
like
the
curb
cut.
You
know
our
walkability
and
I
think
that's
what
councilmember
Kelly
was
getting
to,
but
you
know
I,
think
council,
member
Revell
and
council
member
Stafford
and
can
who
have
wards
that
have
driveways
well,
certainly
in
council
member
ravel's,
Ward.
E
Point
being
is
that
maybe
I'll
speak
for
your
word.
I've
come
through
your
word
all
the
time,
there's
plenty
of
driveways
in
in
the
Seventh
Ward,
and
you
know
those
communities
are
I,
think
some
of
the
Walk
most
walkable
beautiful
parts
of
this
city
and
and
I
don't
know
if
there's
some
excess
of
of
danger
caused
by
you
know
those
curb
cuts
and
so
I
I
support.
This.
A
X
A
A
E
And
R1
and
R2
R1
and
R2
R1.
A
Okay,
so
let
me
run
through
what
I
have
I
have
A1
A8
a12
a12
was
tabled,
so
that's
off
P1
P2
because
of
suspension
for
the
rule
of
the
rules
and
P4
and
then
H1
and
R1
and
R2.
Is
that
everything?
A
Okay
do
I,
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda
so.
E
A
D
H
Q
D
Amended
in
committee
account
to
include
a
payment
of
I
believe
it
was
up
to
twelve
hundred
dollars
to
one
Geordie.
D
Twenty
one
hundred
dollars
do
I
forget
that
the
gentleman's
name
Jordy
the
contractor
for
the
clerk's
office
contractor
for
the
clerk's
office,
that
motion
passed
in
committee.
So
the
bills
list
with
that
Amendment
goes
to
council.
H
H
G
Okay,
I
I,
while
I
have
the
mic.
I
will
say
that
I
will
be
voting
no
because
the
prior
city,
council
and
the
city
council
have
both
voted.
No
on
the
payment
of
that
item,
and
so
I
will
I
cannot
vote
for
it
even
when
it's
bundled
in
with
payroll
and
bills.
AI
In
this
is
a
question
for
Corporation
Council
how's,
this
comply
with
the
open
meetings
act.
The
the
amount
is
being
increased,
correct.
AK
That's
correct
good
evening,
mayor
Pro,
tem
city
clerk
city
manager,
senate
members
of
city
council,
Nicholas,
Cummings,
Corporation,
Council.
There
is
concern
by
the
Law
Department
that
this
would
violate
the
open
meetings
act
because
the
City
of
Evanston
publishes
its
bills
list
and
puts
the
public
on
notice
of
what
we'll
be
taking.
What
the
city
council
intends
to
take
final
action
on,
and
so
now
you're
adding
a
new
item
just
to
check
ourselves.
AK
I
did
check
with
the
previous
interim
Corporation
Council
and
he
agreed
that
that's
a
potential
violation
of
the
open
meetings
act,
however,
I
guess
procedurally
as
well.
According
to
Robert's
Rules
of
Order
and
even
the
city
council
rules.
This
is
essentially
a
reconsideration
of
final
action
already
taken
by
the
city,
the
previous
city
council
and
this
city
council,
and
so
it
would
be
improper.
Procedurally,
there
is
a
suggestion
that
was
made
at
APW
that
this
be
brought
back
through
the
proper
channels
to
bring
it
back
on
the
bills
list.
AK
So
there's
proper
notice,
I
believe
it
was
councilmember
news.
We
made
that
statement
at
APW
and
then
you
know
I
guess
the
council
could
take
it
up.
Then,
but
you
know,
the
law
Department's
position
is
that
it's
it's
a
matter,
that's
been
settled
and
it
would
potentially
put
the
city
at
risk
for
an
open
meeting,
exact
violation.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
new
Smith
yeah.
Did
you
have
your
light
on
again.
D
E
I
I,
you
know
I
understand
my
colleagues
such
as
Alderman
councilmember
Winn,
who
aren't
going
to
vote
for
this
for
her
reasons
and
that's
perfectly
legitimate.
But
as
far
as
this
I
will
say,
this
is
not
an
open
meetings,
act,
violation.
We
make
amendments
up
and
down
on
all
kinds
of
items
based
on
information.
E
So
if
we
have
to
raise
a
dollar
amount
or
decrease
the
dollar
amount,
those
are
things
that
happen
during
the
normal
course
of
business
and
the
open
meetings
Act
only
it
doesn't
require
us
to
publish
a
packet
to
be
clear
they'll.
We
we
do
that
voluntarily.
What
it
does
require
is
that
we
give
a
a
list
of
the
items
that
will
be
on
the
agenda,
so
folks
have
to
know
that
we
will
be
approving
payroll
and
bills
list,
but
we
don't
have
to
you
know,
submit
that
to
the
public.
E
So
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
if
your
consideration
is
hey,
you
know,
is
this
a
violation
of
omay.
The
the
clear
answer
would
be
no
used
to
serve
as
the
clerk
and
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
open
meetings
act
and
and
its
rules,
so
that
is
not
the
case.
E
I
would
also
like
to
make
clear
I
sent
some
information
to
all
of
my
colleagues
earlier
they're,
our
former
HR
Director
or
manager,
and
our
current
CFO
looked
at
the
clerk's
budget
for
2020
or
for
2020
and
determined
that
this
dollar
amount
was
within
the
budget
and
was
it
was
was
was
within
the
budget,
and
so
we,
this
wouldn't
have
put
the
clerk's
office
over
budget
in
that
year
and
the
young
man,
who
is
still
a
college
student,
albeit
it
by
this
point,
is
wrapping
up
his
college
education
again.
E
This
is
a
someone,
a
resident
of
Evanston
who
did
the
work
and
was
an
exemplary
employee,
I
hope
we
can
support
this
as
far
as
a
reconsideration,
that
is
a
council
Rule
and
the
council
has
the
ability
we
could
you
know
to
we.
We
have
this
power.
This
is
not
a
reconsideration
of
that
specific
vote.
This
is
a
new
bringing
up
something
similar,
but
it's
it's
bringing
it
up
again,
and
that
would
be
totally
within
our
prerogative
to
do
that.
D
Thank
you,
councilmember
Ravel,
since
this
is
presented
as
one
package
I'm
gonna
have
to
recuse
myself
from
this
vote.
I
was
planning
to
do
that
anyway,
since
my
wife's
employer
has
a
bill
on
this
list
for
thirty
two
thousand
dollars,
or
so
so,
I'm
gonna
recuse
myself
right.
A
Okay
and
I
just
reminded
that
I
hadn't
I,
don't
think
we'd
had
a
motion
to
did.
We
have
a
motion
on
this
item.
AK
A
AA
I
just
want
to
say
in
particular
for
the
newer
council
members
that
fundamentally,
this
is
about
paying
someone
who
performed
work
for
the
city
and
I
can
tell
you
from
someone
that
track,
not
only
this
issue
with
a
lot
of
issues
dealing
with
the
clerk's
office
and
the
city
that
a
lot
of
this
stuff
stems
from
the
personal
disagreements
that
current
council
members
and
former
council
members
have
with
councilman
now
councilmember
Reed
many
of
the
people,
who
were
his
biggest
oppositions
just
to
to
speak
plainly
as
I'm
known
to
do,
are
no
longer
here
and
lost
in
primary
elections.
AA
There's
been
a
lot
of
personal
attacks
and
and
personal
disagreements
against
councilmember
Reed
that
that
distract
from
what
we're
really
being
asked
to
do
today,
which
is
to
pay
someone
who
performed
work
for
the
City
of
Evanston,
with
the
understanding
that
they
would
be
compensated
period,
y'all
want
to
censure
councilmember
Reed
for,
for
you
know
it's
showing
that
bringing
hiring
someone
during
a
hiring
freeze.
So
be
it.
But
again
somebody
came
here
with
the
understanding
that
they
would
get
paid.
AA
They
previously
worked
for
the
city
in
this
role
and
was
was
compensated
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
fair
to
them
to
miss
out
on
compensation
that
they're
due
because
of
a
mistake,
you
think
councilmember
Reed
made
with
a
budget
that
he
had.
He
just
circulated
that
around
this
is
this
was
a
budget.
This
is
an
executive
office.
It's
a
it
was
well
within
his
budget.
AA
He
did
not
go
over
budget
and
and
doing
this
we
all
know
during
that
time
there
were
I
think
at
this
point
two
Deputy
clerks
that
were
taken
away
from
the
office.
This
was
a.
This
was
a
challenging
time
for
the
city
for
the
clerk's
office
and
again
I.
Think
a
lot
of
this
stuff
is
personal
and
has
nothing
to
do
with
what
we're
really
what
we're
considering
here,
which
is
paying
someone
that
did
work
for
the
city
period
And.
If
people
want
to
take
something
up
with
councilman
Reed
do
that
separately.
AA
AA
AI
N
AF
AH
G
D
C
Q
C
AA
A
A
This
item
is
A8,
which
was
the
that
that
item
was
amended
in
committee.
Is
that
is
that
correct?
Could
I
have
someone
to
make
a
motion
about
AAA,
please.
AB
D
And
just
to
clarify
this
was
amended
in
a
and
PW
the
dollar
amount
is
now
12.
800.
I
forwarded
the
text
from
council
member,
the
the
email
from
council
member
Kelly
that
goes
into
the
detail.
I
am
going
to
oppose
this
concrete
floors.
Crack
and
I
have
no
reason
to
second
guess
the
experts
that
have
been
involved
in
this
so
I'm
going
to
oppose
this.
AA
Yeah
I
came
into
this
decision,
leaning
towards
not
supporting
it
only
because
I
thought
this
was
part
of
a
continued
continuing
Vendetta
against
the
Robert
Crown.
You
know
facility
people
who
disagree
with
it
and
and
also
just
I'm,
not
an
expert
on
this,
so
I
just
didn't
know
enough.
At
the
time
I
asked
somebody
that
I
know
and
trust
in
the
war.
That's
a
30-year
concrete
person
initially
based
on
how
I
phrased
the
question.
AA
This
individual
thought
that
oh
yeah,
this
is
just
regular
stress,
cracking
as
as
councilmanusma
suggested,
but
after
providing
more
information
about
again
this
specific
job,
which
I
do
think
even
from
this
person's
understanding
is
different
than
you
know
what
you
may
see
in
Walgreens
and
some
other
facility
that
they
assumed
that
they
were
like.
Oh
yeah,
this
this,
you
know.
AA
They
were
a
little
apprehensive
about
the
cost,
so
twelve
thousand
five
hundred
initially
and
they
started
to
talk
about
some
other
alternative
options,
but
after
walking
through
what
we
would
get
out
of
the
phase
one,
they
said:
oh
yeah,
that's
that's
worth
it
so
again,
this
is
I
was
coming
into
this,
probably
a
Novo
just
because
it
also
the
original
cost
I
think
was
like
forty
six
thousand
dollars.
We
admitted
that
twelve
thousand
five
hundred
phase
one
again
this
is
nothing
against
staff.
Even
Laura
says
she's.
Not
this
is
not
her
specialty.
AA
You
know
area
specialty.
This
is
the
area
of
specialty
for
the
individuals
that
I
talked
to
again
they've
been
playing
these
type
of
Foundations
down
for
over
30
years
and
I.
Think
I
have
enough
information
to
feel
like.
We
need
to
get
some
more
information,
so
we
know
what
we're
really
dealing
with
here
and
and
then
we
can
kind
of
make
the
the
best
judgment
after
we
get
that
information,
so
I
will
be
supporting
this
okay.
E
Yes,
sorry
I
also
am
supportive
of
this.
You
know
the
the
old
adage
that
I
used
earlier
was
a
Pennywise
pound.
Foolish
I
think
spending
twelve
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
to
determine
whether
or
not
there
is
potentially
a
multi
hundred
thousand
dollar
liability
sitting
out
there
that
we,
if
we
figure
it
out
sooner,
could
maybe
have
a
better
case
to
go
back
to
the
developer,
and
you
know
recoup
our
cost
for
repairing
this
I
think
makes
total
sense,
so
I'm,
supportive.
AA
Think
I'm,
sorry,
one
other
thing
I
just
want
to
say
it
was.
It
was
as
much
to
do
about
the
width
of
the
cracks,
but
also
how
quickly
it
cracked
I
just
want
to
be
clear
on
that
that
if
this
was
you
know
six
seven
years
down
the
road
I
think
it
would
have
been
a
different
response,
but
I
think
it
was
how
quickly
it
cracked
and
the
width
of
the
cracks
is
what
the
person
that
I
talked
to
said.
A
A
All
right
so
now
I
think
we
are
ready
for
item
P1
yeah,
the
vacation
rental.
Would
someone
make
a
motion
about
that?
One.
G
D
Mayor
Pro,
tem
I
will
move
item
P1
approval
of
a
vacation
rental
license
for
25.45
Lawndale
Avenue.
Second,.
AI
Thank
you.
Well,
you
know
the
neighbors
have
advocated
for
themselves
very
well,
it's
quite
clear
that
they
are
opposed
to
it.
It
probably
exposes
some
flaws
in
our
process
that
should
be
considered,
but
I
would
just
encourage
a
no
vote.
E
Yeah
I'm,
sorry
I,
don't
have
a
microphone
on
okay
and
it
still
somehow
was
projecting
so
I
generally
support
would
be
supportive
of
the
applicants
because,
as
council
member
Burns
said,
General
would
be
supportive
of
the
the
occupants.
E
I
mean
the
the
folks,
the
applicants,
because
our
ordinance
allows
for
it
and
as
council
member
Burns
said
without
a
but
I
should
say
not
as
but,
however,
as
council
member
Burns
pointed
out,
there
is
not
a
clear
process
for
how
you
either
approve
or
deny
these
requests,
and
so
you
know
similar
to
liquor
licenses
as
as
he
pointed
out,
and
so,
given
that
the
only
real
mechanism
that
I
have
to
judge
whether
or
not
this
is
good
in
someone
else's
Ward
is
by
listening
to
the
you
know,
council.
E
Member
of
that
Ward,
you
know
Sans
a
clear
process.
It
seems
like
the
process.
Is
you
rely
on?
You
know
the
community
and
the
representative
of
that
Community
to
help
lead.
You
know
guide
where,
where
we
are,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
that
you
know
I
personally
vote
no
I
would
typically
support.
E
This
I
told
the
applicants
if
they
want
to
come
to
the
eighth
Ward
I
think
they
can
find
a
nice
property
there
and
you
know,
be
able
to
visit
dad
and
Mom
and
Dad,
often
and
I
would
likely
be
supportive
of
the
vacation
rental
license
there.
But
in
this
case
you
know,
I
I
think
you
know
I'm
going
to
be
voting.
The
way
council
members
suffered
in
is
is
requesting
for
his
residence.
E
AK
Evening
again,
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
to
the
council
that
the
city
code
requires
that
the
city
council,
if
you
are
going
to
approve
this
license,
makes
very
specific
findings
a
fact.
According
to
the
standards,
you
can
always
adopt
those
findings
that
are
in
the
memo
that
were
prepared
by
staff.
But
if
this
is
going
to
be
accepted,
the
code
does
require
and
I
think,
because
there's
been
such
a
tremendous
opposition
this
evening,
it
would
be
in
the
city's
best
interest
that
the
Council
made
those
findings.
AK
If
they
were
going
to
approve
this
okay
to
provide
some,
you
know
some
better
protection
with
our
process
as
councilmember
suffered
and
talks
about
the
the
process.
That's
in
place
currently.
E
Point
of
information-
if
that
is
the
case,
can
someone
from
staff
maybe
indicate
why
that
wasn't
included
in
our
packet?
If
we
have
to
adopt
findings.
AJ
So
the
standards
are
listed
in
the
memo
for
your
review
this
evening
in
the
packet,
so
they
were
included
they're
in
Italian
italics
in
terms
of
the
standards
for
review
for
your
consideration.
So
those
are
in
the
memo.
AK
It's
not
that
it's
not
included
in
the
packet,
but
city
code,
section
5-9-4,
paragraph
D
outlines
the
standards
and
procedures
for
license
approval
in
the
sentence
just
before
list.
Before
listing
those
standards
specifically
says.
The
city
council
after
receiving
said
report,
which
is
a
report
from
Planning
and
Development
Committee
May,
refer
the
application
back
to
that
body
for
additional
review
or
by
motion.
May
approve,
approved
with
conditions
or
disapprove
an
application
for
a
vacation
rental
license
upon
findings
of
fact,
with
respect
to
each
of
the
following.
AK
Each
of
the
standards
set
forth
below
and
it
outlines
the
standards
that
are
in
the
packet
and
so
I'm
just
recommending
that
whether
the
council
builds
this
up
or
down
that
to
protect
the
city
in
terms
of
the
process
that
those
findings
be
made.
According
to
those
standards
and
the
city
council
can
adopt
the
findings
that
are
in
the
packet
in
the
memo
that
staff
has
listed
or
based
upon
what
happened
at
planning
and
development
adopt
any
sort
of
findings
based
upon
the
committee.
What
happened
in
committee.
E
AK
E
D
Can
amended
can
I
am
amend?
My
motion
to
include
including
the
findings
listed
in
the
Mount
Olympus
Council,
is
that
sufficient.
D
AH
A
So
council
member
nusma
makes
the
motion
and
he's
Autumn
he's
amended
it
himself,
and
it's
and
council
member
haven't
accepted
that
okay.
So
we
have
a
a
motion
to
approve
the
vacation
rental,
reflecting
the
findings
that
are
in
the
packet
and
I,
don't
see
any
more
lights
on
so
I
think
we're
ready
for
a
vote.
Q
AA
This
is
this
is
a
a
great
showing
of
opposition
or
support,
but
then
I
want
to
know
like
okay,
what
are
the
arguments
for
or
against
it,
and
especially
when
in
some
sense
this
is
kind
of
an
adopted
priority
of
the
City
by
virtue
of
the
fact
that
we
adopted
this
and
so
I
guess,
I
would
look
to
those
who
served
in
the
previous
administration
say
like.
Why
did
y'all
adopt
this
in
the
first
place?
Is
there
something
that
I'm
unaware
of
where
now
we're
saying
we
want
to
roll
this
back
or
I?
AA
AA
Rentals
is
is
something
that
we,
you
know
that
that
should
challenge
us
operationally
speaking
so
I'm
just
I
need
something
that
shows
me
that
we
either
made
a
wrong
decision
by
allowing
these
vacation
rentals
in
Evanston
by
people
who
served
in
the
previous
administration
that
adopted
this
order
here
from
staff
that
we
do
there's
still
a
lot
that
we
need
to
to
learn
about
this
and
and
that
somehow
it's
out
of
it's
it's
it's
it's
out.
S
AA
And
and
it's
we
need
to
get
it
under
control.
So
that's
what
I'm?
Looking
for
and
I
haven't
I
just
haven't
heard
that
what
I've
heard
from
community
members
is
that
there's
the
potential
for
a
lot
to
go
wrong.
But
that's
anything
like
that's
I
could
say
that
for
any
vacation
rental
that,
yes,
there's
a
potential
that
people
run
out
the
space
that
that
that
aren't
great
for
our
neighborhoods,
but
that's
every
single
vacation
rental,
no
matter
where
it
is
as
far
as
I
understand.
AA
Most
of
these
are
in
residential
areas,
because
there's
hotels
in
commercial
areas
and
and
other
temporary
rental
facilities
for
residents.
So
it's
not
uncommon
that
that
you
would
see
a
vacation
rental
in
a
residential
area.
I
I
travel,
often,
and
that's
what
you
know
my
family
uses
I
think
almost
every
time
it's
in
a
residential
area,
so
I'm
just
I'm
not
hearing
enough
to
be
concerned
about
this
particular
rental
and
so
I
just
need
more
information.
If
I
was
to
to
not
support
this.
G
Councilmember
Burns,
we
did.
This
came
up
a
lot
during
the
last
Council
because
it
was
the
sorry
I'm
losing
my
voice,
the
proliferation
of
airbnbs,
and
we
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
this
at
the
prior
Council.
I.
Think
one
of
the
things
that
that
did
come
out
of
this
was
the
concern
about
having
an
on-site
that
it.
How
having
someone
the
the
homeowner
be
on
site
was
a
different
animal,
and
so
that
is
actually
comes
under
administrative
review.
G
There
was
one
in
particular
who
I
think
he
was
from
Arizona
if
I
remember
correctly
and-
and
that
was
the
kind
of
remote
owner
of
a
large
number
of
airbnbs
that
actually
the
council
really
did
not
want
to
have,
and
so,
as
a
result,
we
have
this
coming
before
us
with
the
standards
that
are
listed
here
here.
I
think
we
have,
we
actually
have
a
homeowner
Representatives
family
members
who
are
living
here
in
Evanston,
so
that's
very
different.
G
This
family,
the
homeowner,
only
owns
one
property,
also
very
different
from
what
we
were
very
worried
about
during
the
last
Council
and
and,
as
you
said,
looking
to
see
has
something
else
happened
there
has
the
property
been
mishandled
before?
Do
the
neighbors
have
some
more
concrete
objections
to
it?
So
that's
how
we've
ended
up
with
the
split.
G
So
if
it,
if
you
have
an
Airbnb
in
your
home
while
you're
living
there,
it's
an
administrative
decision,
if
you
don't,
it
comes
to
the
council
and
we
apply
these
standards
that
are
here
and
I
intend
to
vote.
Yes
for
this
I
do
understand
that
the
neighbors
do
have
a
lot
of
concerns,
but
I
think
that,
given
the
facts
and
circumstances
that
have
been
presented
here
tonight
that
I
don't
think
that
their
worries
will
come
to
pass
and.
AA
The
last
thing
I'll
say
is
just
is
again:
I'm
always
open
to
us
changing
standards.
I
think
our
comp
plan
is
a
good
I,
don't
know
if
it's
a
good
place
for
this
discussion,
but
other
discussions,
but
again
I
I
like
to
be
able
to
feel
confident
that
I
could
apply
the
same
logic
in
this
scenario
to
another
one
and
I
can't
I
could
not
vote
no
in
good
faith
and
and
know
how
to
do
that
in
another
scenario.
AA
So
I
have
to
unfortunately
support
this,
unfortunately,
to
the
neighbors
who
are
here,
but
thank
you
for
coming
out
and-
and
you
know
objecting
to
this,
okay.
A
D
Sorry,
thank
you.
Mayor
brought
him
I'm
going
to
support
this
as
well.
I
think
we
have
reasonable
people
making
a
reasonable
request.
The
fear
is
expressed
by
the
neighbors,
our
our
fears
of
potential
adverse
outcomes
and
the
evidence
I'm
using
to
justify
my
vote
is
the
20.
Some
other
properties
in
town
that
have
not
had
those
fears
realized
if
worst
case
scenario
something
negative
does
come
to
pass.
D
E
I'll
just
say:
I
I,
like
I,
said
I
generally,
would
just
my
process,
given
that
there
are
unclear
guidelines
is
to
follow
what
the
council,
member
of
the
ward
is,
is
proposing
and
I
think
that
is,
you
know,
I
think
what
this
really
leads
us
to
and
I
might
make
the
referral
tonight.
E
Maybe
I'll
have
several
co-sponsors
for
it,
but
if,
if
we're
not
going
to,
you
know
follow
if
if
there
isn't
a
clear
process
and
we're
not
going
to
follow
the
desires
of
the
council
member
of
the
ward,
then
it's
almost
like.
Why
do
we
even
have
this
separate
process
in
the
first
place?
What
is
the
point
of
having
it
come
to
council
if
we're
essentially
going
to
rubber
stamp
it
like
staff
Sans,
you
know
some.
E
You
know
wild
case
where
the
the
property
owner
was
grossly
negligent
in
previous
cases,
and
that
could
just
be
built
into
the
regular
administrative
process
as
opposed
to
having
it
come
here
and
and
so
I
I.
You
know,
as
we
have
done
with
liquor
licenses
and
with
others
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
to
so.
Certainly
I
see
where
this
is
going.
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
amend
this
ordinance,
have
clear
guidelines
and
I'm,
hoping
there's
support
to
to
have
those
clear
guidelines
in
in
the
future.
AG
X
A
Aye
so
with
a
five
to
four
vote,
the
license
is
approved.
Q
E
A
Motion
to
suspend
the
rules
for
item
P2,
I.
D
Know
so,
have
we
moved
item
P2
yeah.
D
I
will
move
item
P2
approval
of
ordinances,
96022,
97,
022
and
98
020..
Second,.
A
Aye
so
on
a
9-0
vote
item
P2
passes
and
now
we're
ready
for
item
H1
and.
A
E
I'll
move
item
H1
incorporating
the
section
that
council
member
Revell
sent
earlier.
A
Okay,
is
there
a
second
councilmember
Reed
yeah.
E
This
was
a
referral
by
my
colleague
in
the
First
Ward
really
happy
to
support
this.
The
Human
Services
committee
unanimously
supported
that
and
I
expect.
That
will
be
the
case
here.
E
You
know
I've,
had
you
know
personal
experience
with
residents
and
folks
that
I
know
that
have
been
denied
housing
because
of
you
know
criminal
getting
denied
because
of
a
criminal
background.
In
fact,
in
one
case
this
was
right
before
the
County
ordinance
took
effect.
E
In
one
case,
a
resident
who
had
been
out
of
prison
for
years
and
years
I
forget
it
was
it
was
quite
a
while
that
they
had
been
out
of
jail,
was
denied
a
rental
unit
because
of
a
criminal
background
for
something
they
served.
Their
time
for
had
been
out
had
no
interactions
with
law
enforcement
since
yet
still
were
denied.
Because
of
that,
and
so
I'm
I
really
am
excited
that
this
is
moving
forward.
E
I
just
have
one
question
just
to
you
know:
make
sure
that
we're
clear
on
this
for
this
and
others.
So
the
and
I
don't
know
if
councilmember
Kelly,
if
our
Corporation
Council
can
answer
this,
but
did
anything
in
our
previous
code
conflict
with
the
County
ordinance
or
it
just
didn't,
incorporate.
E
The
county
correct,
so
it
was
still
just
to
you,
know,
be
clear
for
everyone
out
there.
If
you
had
a
case
before
today
it
this
was
still
the
law
of
the
land.
Here
in
Evanston,
the
county
had
an
ordinance
that
made
this
correct.
It
was
in
effect
here
in
Evanston.
What
we
are
doing
is
updating
our
code
to
reflect
the
county
code,
which
is
something
I'm
quite
familiar
with
making
amendments
to
update
our
code
to
reflect
higher
and
other
lower
bodies,
but
even
in
the
absence
of
this
being
in
our
code.
E
Previously,
it
was
in
effect
in
the
count
through
the
county
code
and
I,
think
it
is
wonderful
that
we're
incorporating
it
one.
So
we
have
the
ability
for
local
enforcement
and
local
adjudication,
which,
which
does
give
us
another
Tool
similar
to
some
of
the
Criminal
Justice
Reform
work
that
this
body
has
done
in
the
past
by
allowing
us
for
a
local
adjudic
hate
of
power,
so
I'm
in
full
support
of
this
and
I'm.
E
Thank
you,
councilmember
Kelly
and
all
the
folks
that
were
a
part
of
helping
to
draft
this
I
think
I'll.
Let
you
speak
for
yourself
and
the
the
groups
that
were
part
of
getting
this
drafted
outside
of
the
Law
Department.
Who,
of
course,
did.
AK
E
I
I
think
my
motion
was
an
all-encompassing
motion
that
included
what
was
passed
out
of
Human
Services
and
included
the
amendment,
so
we
didn't
have
to
vote
several
times
on
all
that
stuff.
It
was
one
motion
that
had
everything
in
in
one.
AK
A
D
A
A
And
on
a
9-0
vote
that.
A
That
amendment
to
our
fair
housing
ordinance
passes.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Claire
oops,
council
member
Kelly.
Okay,
moving
on
to
rules
could
someone
make
a
motion
for
R1
I'll.
E
Move
I'll
just
move
them
both
at
the
same
time,
Adam,
R1
and
R2.
D
E
Yeah
I'm
going
to
move
to
hold
these
items
council
member
Burns
has
a
referral
in
that
will
be
coming
up
on
the
next
rules
committee,
which
is
October
3rd
and
I.
Think
it
makes
sense
to
consider
that
Amendment
before
adopting
these
new
rules,.
A
Okay,
councilmember
Reed
moves
so
hold
this
so
to
our
next
meeting,
and
is
there
a
second
to
that.
A
I'm
sorry
discussion
correct,
so
the
item
is
held
until
our
next
meeting
next
comes
when
we're
done
all
right.
Well,
then,
I
think
we're
ready
for
Call
of
awards,
starting
with
council
member
Burns.
E
Yeah,
the
regular
eighth
Ward
monthly
meeting
is
next
Thursday
at
six
o'clock,
so
in
inviting
all
of
the
residents
out
in
the
audience
who
are
watching
at
10
o'clock
at
10
o'clock
at
night
to
come
to
that
Ward
meeting
and
participate
in
it.
We
will
be
talking
about
the
you
know:
we're
not
gonna,
have
an
official
budget
presentation
but
we'll
be
kind
of
preliminary
preliminarily
talking
about
the
budget
as
we're
as
this
body
is
moving
into
budget
season.
Looking
forward
to
those
discussions,
okay.
AA
Yeah
so
first
up,
Fifth
Ward
meeting
is
Thursday
7
P.M
virtual
meeting.
We
will
discuss
we'll,
have
a
Fifth
Ward
announcements
as
per
usual
and
also
a
q,
a
and
open
Forum,
but
we
also
have
Edgar
Kano
Public
Works,
director
and
Kevin
Johnson
who's,
the
sanitation
supervisor
for
the
city
there
to
discuss
sanitation
concerns
and
efforts
across
the
Fifth
Ward.
AA
We'll
also
have
our
interim
chief
of
police
Richard
Eddington
there
to
talk
about
the
existing
ordinance,
not
to
be
confused
with
some
of
the
proposals
