If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
Here
so
we
have
a
quorum
present
and
are
ready
to
do
our
work.
We
begin
with
my
public
announce.
A
It
is
still
relatively
unknown
to
the
public
and
whereas
NF
affects
all
populations
equally,
regardless
of
race,
ethnicity
or
gender,
and
whereas
NF
causes
tumors
to
grow
on
nerves
throughout
the
body
and
also
can
affect
development
of
the
brain
cardiovascular
system,
bones
and
skin.
And
whereas
the
disorder
can
lead
to
blindness
deafness,
bone
abnormalities,
disfigurement
learning,
disabilities,
disabling
pain
and
cancer.
A
Prevention
of
complications
and
support
for
research.
Now,
therefore,
I
Daniel
biss,
mayor
of
the
City
of
Evanston,
do
hereby
Proclaim
May
of
2023
as
neurofibromatosis
awareness
month
and
recognition
of
this
important
initiative
and
in
the
hopes
of
educating
the
public
about
the
the
critical
work.
That's
being
done
in
this
area
and
I
know
that
there
were
I.
Think
some
individuals
here
from
the
children's
tumor
Foundation
to
accept
the
proclamation
which
again
I.
Don't
have
physically
to
hand
over,
but
would
love
to
just
welcome
you
up
here
and
and
thank
you
for
your
work.
D
A
And
the
second
Proclamation
is
relative
to
Jewish
American,
Heritage
Month
and
rather
than
read
the
whole
thing
out
loud.
I
think
I'll
just
make
a
quick
personal
comment,
which
is
that
as
a
as
a
Jewish
person,
who
you
know
is
a
descendant
of
of
Holocaust,
Survivors
I
was
sort
of
brought
up.
Thinking
of
the
spurge
of
anti-Semitism
is
relatively
theoretical
and
historical.
A
That's
kind
of
what
life
was
like
for
me,
at
least
as
a
Jewish
American
for
most
of
my
life
and
has
not
felt
that
way
for
the
last
several
years,
which
is
jarring
for
me
personally
and
I.
Think
for
a
lot
of
my
fellow
Jewish
Americans,
it's
jarring
and
so
I
think
it's
it's
important
for
us
to
shine
a
light
on
the
change
in
tone
in
this
culture,
the
rise
of
at
least
visible
anti-Semitism
and
the
violence
that
comes
with
it.
A
That
threatens
the
Jewish
community
and
a
lot
of
other
historically
targeted,
marginalized
communities
as
well,
and
so
I
was
pleased
to
be
asked
to
make
this
Proclamation
and
I
think
it's
an
important
part
of
our
effort
to
lift
up
every
every
piece
and
corner
of
the
Epson
community
and
make
sure
that
everyone
is
collectively
safe
and
looking
out
for
one
another,
and
the
proclamation
says
all
that
stuff.
But
it's
fancier
and
more
boring.
A
And
with
that,
the
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
the
city
managers,
public
announcements.
Yes,.
E
Good
evening,
Mr
Mayor
members
of
the
council
clerk
Mendoza
pleased
to
welcome
representatives
from
the
Fourth
of
July
Association
up
to
the
podium
for
a
brief
announcement.
F
As
everyone
gathers,
I
will
introduce
myself,
but
we
are
with
Evanston
Fourth
of
July
Association.
My
name
is
Tracy
Alden
and
Hilary.
Bean
is
one
of
our
trustees,
as
is
Catherine
rush,
and
we
just
want
to
say
first
thank
you
for
this
opportunity,
mayor
council
members,
elected
officials,
City
staff.
This
is
going
to
be
another
year
where
this
is
a
hundred
years
for
us
actually,
and
the
fourth
is
only
six
weeks
away.
F
Our
theme
is
unite,
Community
United
cannot
be
divided
and
that's
very
special
to
us
to
you
to
everyone,
and
it
should
be
because
this
is
what
Evanston
is
all
about.
Coming
together,
we
may
have
differences,
but
we
work
things
through
and
our
our
event.
F
It's
one
day,
a
year
ago,
it
takes
365
days
to
put
it
together,
yeah,
but
anyway,
it's
everyone's
included
and
that's
what
Independence
Day
is
all
about
bringing
everyone
together,
giving
everyone
an
opportunity,
an
equal
footing
as
to
how
to
celebrate
and
enjoy
the
Privileges
the
rights
that
this
great
country
has
to
offer.
F
G
It's
like
it's
stuck
on
my
cart
good
evening.
Everyone
I
will
handout.
We
don't
have
this
year's
buttons
yet,
but
these
are
last
year's
which
are
special
in
and
of
themselves,
so
the
parade
is
the
registration
opened.
Three
weeks
ago
we
asked
that
any
Community
groups
and
any
businesses,
please
register
we'd
love
to
have
you
in
the
parade
and
we
are
working
hard
on
our
paid
performers.
So
we'll
have
a
bagpipe
band.
We'll
have
a
bunch
of
performers.
F
G
Klezmer
and
some
of
the
other
local
groups
that
that
perform,
but
it
will
be,
of
course,
as
always
and
of
course,
South
Shore
drill
team.
It
will
be
the
parade
that
it
always
is
and
that
everyone
knows
and
loves
on
Central
Street
I.
Will
you
mentioned
figures
right.
G
G
Please
register
there
used
to
be
back
in
the
old
days
where
all
the
all
the
Elder
people
used
to
be
in
the
parade
as
a
big
unit.
We'd
love
to
have
any,
and
all
of
you
back.
So
please
think
about
that
too,
and
we
can
coordinate
it
with
Luke
stuff.
Thank
you.
Do.
J
J
Thank
you
so
much
I
spent
a
few
hours
today,
putting
up
posters
asking
volunteers
to
join
us
and
I'm
happy
to
say
that
there
was
incredible
excitement
among
the
shopkeepers
members
of
community.
Everybody
is
so
happy
to
have
the
Fourth
of
July
back,
as
my
colleague
mentioned,
we're
heading
into
our
second
century,
and
there
are
members
of
the
trustee
board
that
have
been
participating
and
leading
for
over
half
a
century.
So
there's
a
lot
of
people
who've
been
really
committed.
J
Volunteering
we
need
to
have
I,
would
love
to
have
as
many
members
from
the
community
being
a
part
of
this
as
possible.
That's
why
we're
getting
up
the
signs
early
to
every
neighborhood
I'm
going
to
leave
signs
here
if
you
have
a
local
cafe,
you
want
to
put
some
up
in.
That
would
be
wonderful
and
very
helpful,
though
we're
trying
to
reach
out
ourselves
to
every
nook
and
cranny
of
Evanston
in
terms
of
the
volunteers
that
we
are
looking
for.
J
There's
leadership,
volunteer
roles,
coordination
roles,
but
there's
also
in
a
large
number
of
fun
roles.
On
the
day,
we
need
30
to
50
people
to
Marshal
the
parade.
A
parade
Marshall
stands
between
the
floats
and
makes
sure
that
no
one
bangs
into
anybody
else
that
none
of
the
kids
get
run
over
by
a
bicycle.
So
if
that's
something
that
you
would
find
fun,
we
would
love
to
have
some
new
Marshals
this
year.
We
would
also
love
to
have
participants
in
the
fun
and
games
activities
in
the
Parks.
J
J
The
last
thing
I'd
like
to
share
with
you
is
because
there
are
many
members
of
the
Board
of
Trustees
who
have
been
on
it
for
a
very
long
time
and
are
very
good
at
it.
As
you
can
see,
we
would
like
to
get
people
to
step
up
and
learn
from
them.
There's
a
lot
of
technical
detail.
They've
mapped
out
every
inch
of
the
route.
I've
watched
them
organize
this
throughout
the
year.
There's
a
lot
to
it
and
they
would
love
to
start
training
in
New
leaders.
J
J
E
You
thank
you
Tracy,
Hillary
and
Catherine
for
being
here
tonight
and
all
your
hard
work.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
you
over
the
next
six
weeks
to
make
an
outstanding
Fourth
of
July.
Next
up,
Mr
Mayor
I
have
representatives
from
City
staff,
Parks
and
Rec
and
fire
department
for
a
short
presentation
on
life.
Garden
Lakefront
operations.
K
Thank
you
good
evening.
Mr
Mayor
clerk,
Mendoza
members
of
council
city
manager,
Stowe
we're
here
to
give
you
just
a
quick
five-minute
update
on
what's
going
on
at
our
Lakefront
I.
Just
do
want
to
say
first
right
off
the
get-go.
Thank
you
thank
you
for
your
support.
We've
had
a
wonderful
collaboration
with
Parks
and
Rec,
and
fire
and
I
think
we're
going
to
have
one
of
the
best
lakefronts
in
the
state
of
Illinois
hands
down
for
sure.
K
So
I
don't
know
if
you've
known,
but
the
fire
department
is
focusing
on
lifeguards
and
and
getting
them
trained
up
to
the
certain
the
type
of
training
they
need
to
work
with.
Our
members,
Parks
and
Rec
is
going
to
focus
on
Recreation
and
bringing
people
to
the
beach
I'm
going
to
have
Chief
Smith
kind
of
present.
Some
of
the
changes
that
are
coming
with
the
lifeguards
and
the
things
that
we've
done
but
I
just
want
to
say,
I
can't
thank
you
enough
and
I
can't
thank
the
members
behind
me.
K
So
I'm
going
to
go
through
it.
Real
quick
division,
Chief
Smith
of
professional
development
and
Special
Operations
Michael
Callahan
Ken,
Andrew
Meyer,
who
works
with
us
at
the
fire
department
she's,
our
admin
lead
Tim
Carter,
who
works
at
parks
and
rec
and,
of
course,
Audrey
Thompson.
Couldn't
do
it
without
him,
of
course,
Michael
vandorp.
It
was
a
lot
of
work.
A
lot
of
effort.
We've
been
working
for
the
last
eight
months
to
get
this
together
and
we're
ready
to
open
the
beaches
this
weekend,
so
I'm
going
to
let
Chief
Smith
take
it
over
from
here.
L
M
M
One
major
infrastructure
update
that
I
have
for
you
is
the
911
Commission
authorized
and
voted
on
a
large
expenditure
on
brand
new
radios,
increased
and
brand
new
repeater
frequencies
along
the
lake
front.
So
what
we
have
is
going
to
be
a
much
enhanced
ability
for
the
beach
managers
to
directly
communicate
with
9-1-1
Services,
rather
than
the
old
way
we
used
to
do
it
with
kind
of
an
Antiquated
scratchy
frequency
that
maybe
barely
made
it
to
the
Dempsey
Street
beach
house.
M
With
the
committee
of
the
lifeguards
that
are
returning,
Chief
polyp
underwent
a
brand
new
uniform
program
with
their
input
we
have
new,
designed
and
better
equipped.
Lifeguards,
as
far
as
uniform
standpoint
goes,
all
I'm
showing
here
is
that
we
are
using
an
enhanced
scheduling,
application
and
payroll
application
that
we've
had
in
fire
service
with
great
success
for
many
years
now,
and
we're
going
to
be
extending
this
into
the
lakefront
Staffing
as
we're
starting
to
build
out
here.
M
Also,
as
you
can
see
here,
is
that
idea
of
this
unity
of
command
every
shift
on
every
beach
in
real
time,
you'll
be
able
to
see
who
the
exact
manager
supervisor
lifeguards
gate
attendants.
Everybody
is
going
to
be
on
there
chain
of
command
and
accountability
of
who's
there
working
on
our
beaches,
we
revamped
the
promotional
process
to
decide
who
the
leadership
along
the
lakefront
within
the
lifeguards
is
going
to
be
as
well.
M
This
year
we
kind
of
mirrored
what
we
do
in
the
fire
service
again
with
great
success,
and
we
brought
this
with
with
some
of
the
committee
of
returning
lifeguards
to
decide
on
their
leadership
as
well
on
the
parks
and
rec
side.
Everyone
is
very
excited.
M
A
I'll
just
say
thank
you.
This
is
obviously
we
ought
to
be
doing
things
and
it
makes
all
the
sense
in
the
world
and
it's
going
to
have
a
better
outcome
for
our
the
experience
of
our
beachgoers
for
the
safety
and
for
our
team,
who
I
think
we
owe
a
better
outcome
to
say
the
least
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
the
enormous
amount
of
work.
The
professionals
you
put
into
this
I
think
it's
really
really
a
great
thing
and
you're
all
to
be
commended.
N
B
We
got
a
few
email
public
comments.
The
full
version
of
them
should
be
in
your
inboxes
Stefan
Leonard,
Community,
organizer,
writing
city
council
for
statement
in
support
of
the
Margaret
Margarita
Inn
Val
D,
asking.
B
For
you
to
not,
you
know
to
listen
to
neighbors
complaints
and
not
ignore
them
reference
to
Margarita
and-
and
there
is
also
a
letter
from
Valley
Produce
I
was
asked
to
read
it
it's
quite
long.
So,
okay,
so
Valley
Produce
has
been
brought
in
a
loop
regarding
the
proposal
for
fair
Work
Week
ordinance
in
Evanston.
B
They
were
dumbfounded
by
the
unjust
legal
ramifications
and
the
enormous
amounts
of
administrative
requirements
for
a
problem
that
that
does
not
insist
in
our
retail
businesses,
while
Valley
has
been
operated
in
Evanston
since
2008.
The
family
business
dates
back
to
1977.
B
and
they
said
they're
a
family
owned
business
and
they
will
never
have
employees
on
call
during
scheduled
off
hours
or
of
any
employees,
and
they
go
on.
So
they
have
a
lot
of
feedback
about
Fair.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
That
brings
us
to
public
comment
this
evening.
We
have
a
fair
number
of
public
commenters,
though
fewer
than
last
meeting,
so
each
participant
in
public
comment
will
be
given
one
minute
and
10
seconds
to
speak.
A
We'll
begin,
as
always,
with
those
who
signed
up
on
this
sheet
in
person
to
speak
in
person
followed
by
those
who
signed
up
online
to
speak
in
person
and
then
those
who
are
speaking
online.
So
we
begin
with
John,
cleeve
and
I.
A
Guess
I'm
going
to
reiterate
what
I
said
last
week,
I
feel
like
there's
I,
don't
know
if
it's
a
handwriting
issue
or
an
eyesight
issue,
but
I
apologize
in
advance
if
I
misread
any
names,
let's
call
it
an
eyesight
issue,
we'll
begin
with
John
cleeve,
who
will
be
followed
by
Paul
Hammond
and
then
Linda
Gerber.
P
All
right
in
a
minute,
10
seconds
awesome,
so
at
any
rate,
I
have
a
a
different
agenda
than
when
I
came
here.
I.
You
guys
know
exactly
what
I'm
coming
here.
For
it's
a
strong
operating
agreement.
I
mean
we
have
a
one
legged
stool,
because
we
know
the
Good
Neighbor
agreement
and
we
know
that
the
zoning
stuff
doesn't
carry
much
enforceability
and
so
I've
been
hammering
on
the
operating
agreement
for
a
year
over
a
year.
P
Now
to
say
that's
the
one
thing
that
the
city
can
use
to
safeguard
residents
and
to
safeguard
the
neighbors
that
live
around
the
the
margarita
Inn.
So
I
was
common
to
say.
I
was
disappointed
in
what
I
saw
on
the
packet
and
what
I,
what
I
saw
last
week,
Jonathan
has
shared
with
me
some
prior
to
this
meeting
that
he's
added
some
elements
in
it.
That
I
think
are
stronger.
There's
some
language
around
the
Staffing
there's
some
language
around
the
services,
a
little
bit
more
on
the
reporting
and
the
enforceability.
P
So
I
would
encourage
the
rest
of
the
council
to
accept
his
amendments.
They're
not
perfect,
but
they're
a
step
closer
toward
us
having
objective
standards
by
which
we
can
ensure
that
this
thing
is
not
a
problem
that
it's
it's
a
thing.
I
would
also
bring
up
with
eight
seconds,
think
about
connecting
with
thresholds
and
other
Mental
Health,
Services
and
whatnot
that
around
there
connections
is
not
that
interesting
in
this,
but
they
you
got
to
bring
them
in,
and
so
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
A
Q
Q
The
reason
why
you
are
asking
the
reason
why
this
city
tonight
is
considering
the
zoning
ordinance,
the
passage
of
which
has
been
made
a
requirement
for
connections
to
permanently
provide
services
at
the
margarita
end,
is
the
fact
that
the
City
of
Evanston
has
no
plan
to
end
homelessness.
To
end
homelessness
does
not
mean
that
we're
going
to
eradicate
it.
That's
never
going
to
happen,
but
it
means
that
each
Community
is
going
to
have
a
plan
to
prevent
it
when
it
does
occur,
to
make
sure
it's
a
brief
and
non-recurring.
This
is
the
HUD
definition.
Q
Evanston
has
no
plan
and
because
it
does
not,
the
city
is
currently
building
the
plane
as
it's
flying
it
with
regard
to
policy
and
zoning
and
rules.
All
of
these
things
could
have
been
outlined
in
the
plan.
Had
the
city
demonstrated
leadership
around
a
planned
and
homelessness
seven
or
eight
years
ago.
Q
A
R
Our
community
members
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
connections
is
a
strong
institution
with
stable
and
professional
leadership.
It's
well
run
it's
responsible,
it's
responsive,
and
that
is
why
the
community
members
who
make
our
funding
decisions
have
supported
it
for
more
than
35
years
now,
as
a
Community
Foundation,
we
are
proud
to
stand
by
connections
and
their
work
at
the
margarita
Inn.
We
know
that
they
make
a
difference
not
just
in
the
lives
of
the
people
they
serve,
but
that
they
make
Evanston
stronger
for
all
of
us.
Thank
you.
S
Good
evening,
I
live
across
the
alley
from
the
margarita
Inn.
The
City
of
Evanston
has
been
described
as
welcoming
inclusive,
tolerant
and
Progressive,
but
I
feel
that
description
is
ebbing
away.
There
are
those
who
feel
that
downtown
Evanston
should
be
the
exclusive
purview
of
people
who
can
afford
to
buy
homes,
rent
expensive
apartments
or
stay
in
pricey
hotels.
This
exclusive,
elitist
and
small-minded
attitude
cannot
come
to
Define
us.
S
Fortunately,
connections
for
the
homeless
has
been
expanding
inclusivity
and
offering
effective
and
compassionate
services
and
housing
at
the
margarita
Inn
helping
folks
to
find
stability
in
their
lives.
I
urge
you
to
Grant
the
permit
so
that
we
are
defined
not
by
what
diminishes
us
as
a
city,
but
by
what
is
the
best
of
us.
Thank
you.
A
T
Good
evening,
everybody
I
was
very
disagree
with
the
fifth
or
the
school
before,
but
now
I
am
very
much
for
it
because
on
May,
6,
Saturday
I,
wake
up
and
I
see
the
Foster
field.
From
the
day
before
play
is
filled
with
the
garbage
all
day.
It
was
not.
It
took
long
time
until
City
killing
it
killing
it,
and
then
there
was
a
noise
all
day
and
last.
What
is
it?
Saturday?
T
My
building
was
shaking
because
of
the
party
they
had
in
a
community
Philly
Jordan,
so
I
think
the
school
has
been
is
going
to
block
everything.
Parking
is
another
issue.
My
tenant
complained
that
we
have
to
go
two
block
away,
so
I
think
a
school
with
block
everything,
and
it
has
been
the
answer
to
my
own
prayer.
I
didn't
know,
but
while
I
am
here,
I
am
here
to
say
that
architectural
study
has
shown
that
the
color
of
a
building
has
a
big
effect
on
a
intelligence
concentration.
T
You
know
everything
and
maybe
because
color
like
a
blue
and
a
green,
make
people
to
focus.
So
I
am
here
to
ask
please
the
the
panel
metal
panel.
It
doesn't
make
any
difference
to
be
blue
and
the
brick,
because
it
reminds
us
of
the
sky
we
miss
and
then
the
the
bridge
to
be
painted
green,
which
remind
us
of
the
field.
We
are
missing
and
it
is.
A
U
U
You
know
yesterday
in
my
at
church,
in
my
faith,
community
I
was
listening
to
a
guest
pastor
and
he
admonished
us
and
challenged
us
to
to
really
show
up,
take
a
risk
and
do
the
work
of
making
this
a
better
world
and
I
was
thinking.
This
is
what
connections
is
doing
with
a
margarita
and
we
should
be
thanking
them.
We
should
be
supporting
them
and
thanking
them
as
I.
Thank
you
for
your
for
your
vote
two
weeks
ago
and
I
hope
tonight.
Thank
you.
A
V
V
I
was
here
two
weeks
ago
and
I
won't
repeat
what
I
said
then,
but
I
did
think
as
I
was
walking
to
my
car
tonight
of
a
thought
experiment
and
that
experiment
is
the
following:
what
if
a
member
of
my
family
or
your
family,
a
cousin,
a
brother,
a
son,
a
mother
needed
the
services
of
connections
and
the
services
of
the
margarita
Inn?
How
would
that
affect
your
vote?
I
urge
you
to
support
this
measure,
because
it
is
the
right
thing
to
do
for
our
city
and
for
our
residents.
Thank
you.
A
W
Good
evening
corner
of
Oak
and
Grove,
so
I
am
a
near
neighbor
and
I
have
spoken
before
I
wanted
to
just
share
a
couple
insights
about
the
well-being
of
our
neighborhood
tonight.
I
did
a
survey
of
the
owners
of
the
21
units
in
our
building
and
ask
if
they
were
in
favor
of
the
margarita
if
they
had
had
any
unpleasant
interactions
with
residents
of
Margarita
and
I
was
only
three
people
answered
which
really
says
that
nobody
really
cares
that
much
it's
just
there.
It's
not
upsetting
anyone.
W
One
person
said
all
of
their
interactions
had
been
Pleasant
and
enriching.
One
person
had
had
some
negative
interactions
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
when
I
think
we
were
all
a
bit
on
edge
during
the
last
three
years,
there
have
been
six
sales
of
units
in
our
21
unit,
building
they've
all
been
sold
quickly
and
either
at
or
above
the
asking
price.
So
I
would
say:
there's
not
been
a
big
negative
impact.
A
X
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
members,
City,
Clerk
and
she's
not
here,
and
the
mayor.
I'm
Bonnie,
Wilson
I
have
been
a
real
estate
agent
in
Evanston
for
38
years
as
an
agent
I
believe
that
we
should
have
housing
in
Evanston
for
everyone,
not
just
people
we
sell
to.
Everybody
should
have
housing
in
Evanston,
plus
the
three
condos
that
are
in
one
block
of
the
margarita
Inn
have
only
increased
in
value
from
20,
then
2020
to
23.
X
During
the
time
the
margarita
Inn
has
been
a
shelter
for
connections
since
March
of
2020.,
so
the
prices
have
gone
up,
there's
not
a
nothing
to
do
with
the
prices
that
have
decreased
in
Evanston,
because
the
margarita
isn't
they've
gone
up,
30
40,
000
more
since
the
margarita
has
been
there.
Thank
you
very
much.

Hello
I'm,
a
member
of
the
youth
caucus
at
the
Jewish
Council
of
urban
Affairs.
We
are
very
proud
to
support
the
initiative
of
the
margarita
Inn
and
urge
you
council
members
to
do
the
same.
Housing
is
a
fundamental
human
right
in
the
City
of
Evanston
must
work
to
ensure
that
all
of
its
citizens
have
access
to
a
safe
place
to
live.
Thank
you.
A
Y
I
started
at
Connections
in
March
2020
right
before
the
margarita
end
started
utilizing
the
space
as
a
shelter
at
connections.
I
provide
mental
health
support
to
residents
at
the
margarita.
Inn
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
to
talk
about
one
participant
who
I
met
in
the
winter
of
2020..
When
I
met
him,
he
was
sleeping
outside
he's.
He
was
in
his
early
60s
and
could
barely
walk.
He
used
a
walker
just
on
Friday.
Y
This
was
due
to
many
many
hours
and
the
hard
work
of
staff
behind
me.
You'll
see
a
Sea
of
Faces,
who
are
all
here,
doing
the
hard
work
showing
up
for
people
day
in
and
day
out,
and
we
are
helping
to
allow
individuals
to
rebuild
their
lives,
honoring
their
dignity
and
their
right
to
have
access
to
housing.

Evening
my

Steve

I'm,
a
member
of
the
board
of
connections
for
the
homeless
I'm.
Also
an
Evanston
resident
I
want
to
thank
the
city
council
for
your
vote
two
weeks
ago
to
proceed
on
this
issue
and
I'm
here
to
urge
you
to
finish
the
job
tonight
with
another
vote
for
formal
approval,
but
I'd
also
like
you
to
just
take
in
this
moment
for
a
second
in
most
communities,
homeless,
shelters
are
not
a
popular
project
and
homeless.
People
are
more
likely
to
be
the
subject
of
derision
and
hostility
than
the
beneficiaries
of
compassion.
AB

AC
Greetings
I
wish
I
had
more
time.
However,
I
experienced
domestic
violence
as
a
resident
of
Evanston
I
didn't
come
from
outer
space.
I
lived
here
in
Evanston.
There
is
a
need
for
shelter
at
times.
I
feel
tears
in
my
heart
for
mothers
who
stay
in
violence
or
housing
insecurity
because
they
don't
have
anywhere
to
go.
More
shelter
is
needed,
and
here
in
Evanston
I
can
go
to
see
these
big
houses
in
front.
AC
They
have
signs
about
their
inclusion
about
how
everyone
is
welcome,
but
I've
sit
here
and
I've
listened
to
people
be
more
concerned
about
Sheltering
animals
than
Sheltering
human
beings.
I'm,
not
a
subspecies
I
am
your
sister,
we're
all
brothers
and
sisters,
and
if
that
energy
will
be
spent,
helping
actually
helping
more
people
than
just
putting
signs
in
yard
in
in
yards
and
looking
the
other
way,
then
Evanston
can
truly
be
a
better
place
and
the
world
will
be
a
better
place.
AC
AD
A
AD
Here:
okay,
that's!
That's
fine!
So
I'm
not
here
to
speak,
whether
the
the
connections
for
the
homeless
should
be
granted
the
permit
or
not.
We
as
small
landlords,
have
been
loyal,
loyal
servants
for
decades
the
connections
of
the
homeless,
when
no
one
would
take
their
people.
Small
landlords
in
Fifth
Ward
did
that.
But
what
I've
learned
here
in
last
three
months,
we
came
to
oppose
hodc
building.
AD
That's
been
planned
in
our
award
that
connections
for
the
homeless
have
thrown
under
the
bus,
all
of
the
landlords,
all
of
the
small
landlords
who
have
for
decades
and
decades
took
their
clients,
supported
them,
worked
with
them,
and
then
we
find
out
there's
just
several
groups
of
corporations
in
this
town
that
they're
here
voting
for
each
other
to
get
millions
of
dollars
of
taxpayers
money.
Thank.
AD
AE
AE
I
was
a
former
School
Board
member
and
I'm
here
to
support
a
school
in
the
Fifth
Ward
and
and
ask
for
your
vote
one,
because
when
kids
don't
know
each
other,
then
parents
don't
know
each
other
and
it
ruins
communities
and
60
years
ago,
more
or
less
they
closed
that
school
in
the
Fifth
Ward
and
it's
you
know
at
first,
it
was
integration
then
became
desegregation,
which
is
one.
Integration
is
like
this
desegregation
is
like
that
and
they
bust
every
single
kid
out
of
the
Fifth
Ward.
For
what
50
60
years.
AE
And
turned
our
kids
into
itinerant
migrant
students
for
decades,
my
God
and
it's
a
travesty,
so
you
can
make
a
correction
here
and
I
absolutely
recommend
that
you
do
that,
get
it
done.
It's
just
the
right
thing
to
do.
It
brings
communities
together
when
kids
know
each
other,
it's
the
foundation
of
any
community.
A
AF
AF
What
may
have
created,
excitement
and
seemed
like
the
right
thing
to
do
at
the
time
in
retrospect
caused
harm
and
segmented
a
community
which
led
to
the
sense
of
not
belonging
for
families
that
live
in
the
Fifth
Ward?
Thankfully,
we
are
at
a
place
in
time
to
right
that
wrong
and
bring
a
neighborhood
school
to
these
students.
AF
Having
a
walkable
neighborhood
school
will
not
only
build
community
but
also
builds
a
sense
of
togetherness
among
the
residents.
District
65
test
data
shows
that
black
male
and
female
students
are
at
the
bottom,
followed
by
Hispanic
students
when
these
students
are
being
bussed
to
buildings
where
they
hear
their
parents
tell
them
that
they
don't
belong,
and
teachers
Place
Targets
on
their
backs.
How
do
you
expect
them
to
learn
when
students
rarely
see
a
reflection
of
themselves
in
the
individuals
that
are
supposed
to
educate
them?
AF
How
do
you
expect
them
to
trust
and
feel
safe
in
a
classroom?
The
Evanston
Community
likes
to
support
students
of
color,
especially
black
students,
in
response
to
traumatic
events
that
happen
in
Evanston.
Yet
whenever
there
is
a
need
to
support
efforts
that
will
Empower
students
of
color,
they
tend
to
hyper
focus
on
things
that
are
not
as
urgent.
AF
What
is
urgent
is
the
need
to
recreate
the
village
that
will
surround
and
uplift
these
students
I
am
asking
that
members
of
the
city
council
support
the
efforts
of
the
districts
of
the
district,
and
now
that
they're
now
taken
to
correct
their
error
and
bring
these
students
home.
They
deserve
the
right
to
learn
in
an
environment
without
feeling,
like
the
other.
AG
Then
Paul
Khalil
good
evening,
my
name
is
Henry.
Wilkins
I
stand
here
as
an
advocate
returning
a
school
to
the
Fifth
Ward.
Most
importantly,
I
stand
on
the
shoulders
of
hundreds
of
people
before
me,
including
citizens,
for
better
Evanston
that
have
been
fighting
for
this
moment
to
return
a
school.
The
latest
Pursuit
came
in
2012
when
a
referendum
didn't
pass.
However,
it
passed
unanimously
in
the
Fifth
Ward,
the
second
war
in
the
eighth
Ward
and
lost
by
a
landslide
in
the
Sixth
and
Seventh
Ward.
AG
For
me,
it
was
almost
five
years
ago
that
I
learned
about
this
tragedy
of
black
and
brown
kids
being
bussed
all
across
Evanston
to
integrate
the
schools.
My
heart
broke
when
I
first
learned
that
this
was
happening
and
since
that
time,
I've
dedicated
my
time,
resources
and
talent
to
reinvig
Great
support
for
a
school
by
starting
a
non-profit
called
stem
School
Evanston.
AH
Hello,
I'm,
the
fourth
ward
resident
and
I'm,
going
to
speak
to
the
two
people
who
voted
against
connections
at
the
last
meeting.
So
first,
all
the
person
Kelly
at
the
last
meeting
I
heard
your
concerns
about
Resident
safety,
which
were
thoroughly
answered
by
The
Connection
staff.
I
also
heard
some
concerns
about
the
operating
agreement,
which
are
also
refuted
by
all
the
persons
newspa
Ravel
and
Reed.
On
top
of
the
city
staff
sharing
the
same
opinion,
but
then
you
still
voted.
AH
No,
can
you
explain
how
a
no
vote,
which
threatens
the
shutdown
operations,
eliminate
housing,
food
and
mental
health
services
for
current
and
prospective
Margarita
and
residents,
aligns
with
your
goals
of
equity
and
Justice
and
stated
concerns
for
their
safety?
For
Life
me
I
can't
figure
out
how
the
50
plus
people
currently
being
served
at
the
margarita
and
better
off,
once
they're
kicked
out
on
the
street,
should
you
and
your
older
person
Tom
suffered
in
vote
no
again
tonight.
AH
All
the
person
suffered
in
I'd
really
like
to
hear
some
explanation
from
you
to
support
your
vote
as
well
and
in
my
final
20
seconds.
I
also
support
a
fifth
board
school
and
all
the
person
read
keep
up
the
good
fight.
One
point
that
might
help
you
just
think
about
all
benefits
you
all
receive
for
waste
management.
Recycling
composting.
You
guys
vote
on
those
contracts
too,
so
if
everyone
should
recuse
themselves
from
that
you,
you
can
certainly
vote
tonight
as
well.
Thank
you,
foreign.
A
AI
Thank
you,
Mr,

I'm,
the
president
of
connections

and
I
live
about
five
or
six
blocks
from

the
margarita.
We've
got
a
challenge
in
Evanston.
We
don't
have
an
affordable
places.
We
don't
have
enough.
Affordable
places
for
people
to
stay
connections
is
offering
a
solution.
A
key
part
of
that
solution
is
the
margarita
Inn,
the
margarita
ends
highly
effective.
It
gets
people
into
stable
housing
at
a
rate.
AI
That's
almost
twice.
The
national

been

Evanston

almost
40
years
and
and
we're
committed
to
to
working

to
make
a
difference.
We're
from
Evanston
we're
national
leaders
in
addressing
homelessness
and
we're
committed
to
having
the
margarita
in
make
a
difference
in
the
community.
There
aren't
enough.
Affordable
places
to
stay
in
Evanston
and
connections
is
offering
a
proven,
viable
solution.
Thanks
so
much.

Let
you
all
know
that
in
a
couple
of
days
the
preservation
commission
is
going
to
be
sending
you
a
letter
supporting
the
Adaptive
use
of
Harley
Clark
and
offering
our
expertise
and
our
passion
our
knowledge
to
help
you
to
answer
questions
and
to
help
this
very
important
building
and
the
grounds
that
go
along
with
it
have
a
vibrant
future.
Adaptive
reuse
of
this
building
is
going
to
keep
it
out
of
the
landfill,
so
it
supports
the
climate
resilience
goals
that
the
city
has
and
and
so
on.
So
I
have
a
few
seconds
left.
AJ
A

We
reiterate
and
reassert
all
of
the
objections
and
concerns
we
expressed
in
our
comments
and
filings
made
before
the
land
use
Commission
on
30,
November
2022
and
on
26
April
2023.
We
respectfully
request
that
you
consider
all
the
evidence
we
provided
therein
and
at
those
hearings
and
then
deny
the
special
use
requests
based
on
that
evidence.
Thank
you.
A
L
How
many
I
may
ever
pass
it
I'm
a
citizen
of
the
fourth
ward,
I
guess,
while
you're
not
seeing
as
many
people
opposed
to
the
margarita
Inn,
because
I
feel,
like
we've,
been
silenced
by
signing
a
good
neighbor
agreement
by
doing
the
cutting
of
the
ribbon
before
this
has
been
decided.
Basically
says
you
don't
care
about
our
opinion,
because
if
you
did,
you
wouldn't
cut
the
ribbon
before
the
decision's
been
made
and
I'm
directing
it
to
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I'm,
also
going
to
say
they
say
this
doesn't
cost
the
city.
Anything!
That's
not
true.
L
If
somebody
were
to
buy
this
building
and
pay
say
three
million
dollars
for
it,
it'd
be
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
taxes
every
year
and
real
estate
taxes
that
would
go
towards
the
city.
If
it
was
a
hotel
would
be
even
more
than
that
and
I
guess.
You
know
when
they
said.
There's
been,
no,
you
know
not
as
much
crime.
Well
about
a
month
ago
we
had
somebody
had
a
gun
out
in
front
of
the
margarita
Inn.
L
What's
happened
with
that
and
I
guess
the
last
thing
I'll
say
is
I
know
this
will
pass.
Unfortunately,
but
I'm
gonna
definitely
be
here
again,
like
I've
talked
to
you
about
alternate
newsman,
to
hold
up
to
the
you
know
to
the
operations
part
of
this.
You
know
because
I
don't
feel
like
it's
going
to
be
followed
by
the
city,
so.
A
AK
and
I
frequently
walk
past
or
drive
past
the
margarita
Inn
and
almost
every
day
and
I
have
never
seen
any
kind
of
incident
or
problem
happening
there
and
I
have
looked
for
it.
My
husband
and
I
have
a
family
Foundation
through
which
we
support
many
organizations
in
Chicago
and
Evanston
that
are
working
to
meet
the
needs
of
those
in
our
society
who
are
pushed
out
and
left
out
and
struggling
to
survive
from
these
organizations.
AK
We've
learned
a
lot
about
the
best
practices
for
helping
people
to
move
from
despair
to
empowerment
and
from
being
overwhelmed
by
the
difficulties
and
challenges
of
life
in
our
society
today,
to
learning
how
to
manage
their
lives
and
become
stable
and
productive
members
of
society
as
they
would
like
to
be.
We
have
seen
connections
for
the
homeless,
in
particular,
learn
from
its
experiences
and
train
their
staff
in
the
best
practices,
to
the
point
that
they
are
now.
A
AL
AL
A
AM
AM
We
had
a
financial
plan
that
was
self-sustaining.
We
had
a
phased
in
rehab,
developed
by
an
architect
that
you
that
Evenson
has
hired
before
and
we
had
our
finances
lined
up.
We
didn't
win
that
one,
but
now
it's
a
new
chapter.
The
key
is:
how
are
we
going
to
make
this
building?
Finally,
a
success
for
the
community
and
I
I
want
to
basically
suggest
that
a
public
private
partnership
doesn't
have
to
stop
with
just
the
finances.
AM
A
AN
Good
evening
my
name
is
Jonah
karsh
I'm,
a
Dewey
Nichols
and
eths
grad
raised
in
the
Third
Ward,
but
I
also
came
today
on
behalf
of
the
Jewish
Council
on
Urban
Affairs,
Chicago's
Jewish
voice
for
social
justice,
where
I
work
as
an
organizer
and
fun
fact.
I
had
my
bar
mitzvah
party
in
the
basement
of
the
margarita
Inn
jcua
was
proud
to
provide
financial
support
to
the
margarita
Inn
through
our
community
Ventures
program,
which
provides
zero
interest
loans
to
Community,
Development
and
affordable
housing
projects
in
Chicagoland.
AN
But
our
commitment
to
the
margarita
Inn
is
not
just
about
writing
a
one-off
check.
It's
why
we've
brought
almost
10
of
our
youth
members
to
the
meeting
tonight,
because
in
our
vision
of
Judaism,
none
of
us
are
free.
Until
all
of
us
are
free,
and
that
means
we
have
a
moral
imperative
to
end
homelessness
in
Evanston
and
anywhere.
It
exists.
The
margarita
Inn
Works
towards
that
goal.
AN
Numerous
Studies
have
shown
that
the
single
room,
occupancy
housing
first
model
is
extremely
effective
because
when
you
have
the
stability
of
four
walls
and
a
roof
over
your
head,
a
room
that
locks
and
three
three
free
meals
a
day.
It's
so
much
easier
to
then
address
underlying
challenges
you
may
have
with
mental
health
substance
abuse
or
unemployment
and
70
of
Margarita
residents
end
up
with
a
housing
solution
twice
the
national
average.
So
tonight's
vote
isn't
about
whether
the
margarita
Inn
works.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
The
next
speaker
is
Pastor
Laura,
who
will
be
followed
by
Aaron
Cohen
and
then
Charles
Smith.
AO
Good
evening,
Pastor
Laura
hairs,
Free
From,
Grace
Lutheran
tonight,
I
speak
in
support
of
the
margarita,
Inn
and
connections.
Housing
is
a
basic
human
right
and
we
know
that
it
is
the
Crux
that
holds
someone's
life
together.
I
worked
as
a
case
manager
before
I
was
a
pastor
at
an
affordable
housing
building
in
Seattle,
and
we
heard
all
of
the
same
things
there
that
isn't
the
right
location,
the
organization
operating
the
building
isn't
doing
a
very
good
job.
AO
AO
If
not
us,
then
who-
and
if
not
here,
then
where
it
will
always
be
a
bumpy
road
working
with
folks
who
are
trying
to
stabilize
their
life.
But
connections
is
willing
to
take
on
that
bumpy
work
and
thank
God
for
connections
being
the
folks
willing
to
do
this
work
when
most
others
seem
unwilling
to
be
a
positive
force
in
this
work,
and
so
the
margarita
Inn
has
been
operating
for
a
couple
of
years
and
continues
to
strive
to
offer
to
offer
the
best
care
for
their
residents
and
neighbors
and
it's
time
to
affirm
their
work.
AO
A
AP
Good
evening,
mayor,
biss
city
manager,
Stowe
I'm
here
to
thank
you
all-
the
the
the
the
city
council
for
granting
us
a
license
to
continue
our
work
at
the
Jen's
Jensen
Gardens,
and
to
be
able
to
report
to
you
that
it's
had
very,
very
positive
effect.
Our
volunteers
are
showing
up.
We
have
tons
of
support.
We
have
organized
a
major
cleanup
day
and
work
day
for
June
9th,
we'll
probably
be
there.
AP
The
7th,
8th
and
9th,
but
tonight
will
be
the
big
day
and
let
you
know
that
not
not
a
day
goes
by
when
I'm
working
down
there,
that
someone
doesn't
come
up
and
and
and
and
and
thank
me
for
all
the
work
that
we're
doing
down
there
and
I
make
sure
to
let
them
know
that
it's
not
a
one-person
project,
there's
a
board,
there's
supporters
and
they're
volunteers
and
we're
all
organized
and
mobilized
to
make
a
city
resource
available
and
a
treasure
for
all
of
us
to
enjoy.
So
thank
you.

I
feel
very
lucky
to
have
grown
up
in
Evanston,
where
I
attended,
Lincolnwood,
Haven
and
eths,
and
where
the
values
of
Justice
equity
and
inclusion
were
first
instilled
in
me.
I
currently
attend
college
in
Southern
California,
where
I've
gotten
very
involved
in
local
advocacy
for
housing,
Justice
I've
seen
firsthand
that
housing
is
what
ends
homelessness
and
that
safe
communities
are
communities
where
everyone
has
access
to
the
housing
that
they
need.

is
Noah

I'm,
a
recent

and
a
Seventh
Ward
resident
from
a

age.
Evanston
has
taught
me
about
social
justice
and
protecting
the
most
vulnerable.
It's
empowered
me
to
fight
for
housing
Justice
in
Southern
California,
with
Gwen,
where
I
now
go

college
I
urge
you
Council
to
vote
to
approve
the
special
use,
permit
and
operating
agreement
for
the
margarita
Inn
and
in
so
doing,
act
on
the
values
that
we
allegedly
care
so
much
about.
This
is
not
a
time
for
wishy-washiness,

Hello,
my
name
is
Helen
Hilton
I'm,
a
40-year
resident
of
the
city
and
I'm
speaking
tonight
about
the
Harley
Clark
mansion
and
grounds
I
support
the
public-private
partnership
concept
described
in
the
memorandum
by
the
planning
department.
AS
Their
previous
plans
and
future
goals
highlight
the
importance
of
a
collaboration
such
as
one
that
was
proposed.
I've
experience
in
raising
a
lot
of
money
for
Evanston
entities
and
I
know
this
project
can
be
successful.
I
need
to
say
one
final
thing.
If
I
can
I
think
it's
important
to
recognize
that
a
key
part
of
this
project
is
the
Jen
Stenson
Gardens
and
those
volunteers
have
already
shown
their
commitment
to
make
a
place
better
for
all
of
us.
Thank
you.
A
AT
Okay,
I'm
trying
to
get
my
video
going,
but
the
house
won't.
Let
me
open
it,
so
you
can't
see
me
but
good
evening,
Mr,
Mayor,
City
Clerk
and
to
the
rest
of
the
council.
I
really
came
on
to
speak
tonight
about
the
school
the
post
School
initiates
were
but
I
first
want
to
say
that
I
hope
this
Council
will
do
the
right
thing
and
go
ahead
and
vote
for
the
margarita
Inn.
AT
AT
I've
watched
this
word,
I
love
so
much
that
this
war
died
in
many
many
ways,
but
I
think
the
nail
in
the
coffin
really
came
with
the
closing
of
foster
school,
because
the
school
really
did
our
community
to
really
die
in
after
that,
so
we
had
lost
so
many
other
things,
and
then
we
lost
Foster
School,
here's
a
chance,
City
folk
who
can
make
some
decisions.
We
certainly
understand
that
there
are
two
separate
entities.
AT
However,
we
can
do
our
part
as
a
city
by
going
ahead
and
supporting
the
proposed
school
at
District
65
has
we
have
to
do
this?
It's
the
right
thing
to
do.
I,
don't
know
if
you've
ever
driven
early
in
the
morning
and
seen
little
black
kids
little
brown,
kids
standing
on
the
corner,
waiting
for
buses
and
snow
and
rain
and
heat
whatever
and
I
hope
that
this
Council
will
do
the
right
thing,
because
I
know
that
you
care
about
it
and
it's
important
in
terms
of
helping
to
rebuild
the
Fifth
Ward.
Thank
you.
A
AU
Hi
I'm
Mark
malshop,
co-owner
of
1601
and
1607
Simpson
across
from
the
proposed
fifth
world
school
and
a
member
of
the
Hill
Arts
business
community
council
members,
your
honor
fellow
abistodians,
and
those
of
you
who
spoke
in
favor
of
the
fifth
Lord
school.
Please
remember
that
the
vote
tonight
for
the
Fifth
Ward
school
project
is
only
for
the
approval
of
the
exemptions
to
Major
variances
requested
by
the
school
board.
This
school
of
900
students
will
have
a
huge
impact
on
the
community.
Please
vote!
No,
as
this
is
not
a
vote
on.
AU
If
we
need
a
school,
we
all
agree.
We
need
a
school.
This
is
not
a
vote
on
the
importance
of
Education
or
voting
against
a
school
that
this
District
deserves.
This
is
only
a
vote
on
if
we
allow
the
school
district
to
create
a
building
that
is
so
large,
it
needs
multiple
major
variances.
We
only
need
a
K-5
Elementary
School
for
fifth
word
students.
Only
a
smaller
350
school
that
needs
no
exemption.
The
District
65
is
overly
aggressive
timeline
due
to
their
financial
issues,
should
not
dictate
our
community's
timeline.
AU
Decisions
made
tonight
by
the
city
council
will
impact
this
community
for
generations
to
come
and
are
not
ones
to
be
taken
lightly.
This
is
our
last
opportunity
to
have
a
say
in
the
proposed
school,
as
the
project
is
not
required
to
follow
the
city's
density
building
or
climate
action
goals.
Once
these
variations
are
approved,
there
are
too
many.
A
AV
My
only
comments
is
I
feel
a
little
uneasy
about
you
taking
astronauts
tonight,
because,
if
I
understand
it
correctly,
there's
lawsuits
pending
and
there's
also
ethics
violations
pending,
which
could
very
much
undo
whatever
vote
you
take
tonight.
So
I
personally,
just
think
it's
prudent
for
you
to
wait
until
those
other
matters
are
resolved.
AV
Sp3,
Harley
Clark,
if
what's
described
as
a
private
partner,
is
someone
like
or
something
like
the
Evanston
Community
like
housing,
Gardens
and
I.
Think
that's
a
good,
a
good
match,
but
I
think
the
definition
of
when
you
say
public
private.
If,
if
the
private
entity
is
someone
who's
just
out
there
to
take
advantage
of
the
situation,
I
think
that
has
to
be
policed
and
I
think
a
definition
of
what
private
entities
would
be
considered
needs
to
very
carefully
be
described.
AV
Lastly,
I
sent
an
email
to
everyone
about
this
58
million
dollars
that
was
found,
I
guess,
unlooked
I'm.
Sorry
thank.
AV
Much
I'd
like
somebody
to
answer
that
from
staff
about
how
taxpayers
could
receive
possible
tax
refunds
from
that
money.
Thank
you.
A
AW
So
good
evening,
Council,
yes,
housing
is
a
human
right.
However,
it's
a
big
leap
to
that
to
this
operating
agreement
must
be
approved
or
you
don't
believe.
Housing
is
human
rights.
We
want
to
have
the
strongest
operating
agreement
where
there
is
accountability
built
in
that
we
can
possibly
get,
and
I
must
say
that,
with
the
reaction
that
the
response
that
the
alternative
neighbor
agreement
got,
it's
you
know
the
sort
of
lack
of
open-minded
to
miss
to
some
of
its
requests.
AW
It
doesn't
make
those
of
us
who
live
on
the
fourth
ward
feel
that
our
complaints,
our
concerns,
ongoing
after
the
shelter
open,
are
continues
to
open,
has
its
operating
agreement.
It's
licensed
will
be
heard
and
also
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
think
that
if
I
I
can't
imagine
a
circumstance
in
which
there
would
be
a
conflict
of
interest,
if
someone
receiving
a
direct
benefit
from
an
entity
that
they're
voting
on
the
interest
of,
if
that's
not
a
conflict
of
interest,
wow
I
can't
really
imagine
what
would
apply.
So
thank.
A
AX
Darlene
Cannon
second
born
when
no
one
else
would
take
connections
residents,
the
Peyton
family
did
and
I
think
it's
not
only
a
shame,
but
it's
a
shame
that
connections
hasn't
paid
Tina
Payton
for
the
damage
cost
to
her
property
by
connections
resonance.
The
damage
was
done
almost
two
years
ago,
and
the
residents
shot
guns
into
the
ceilings
of
her
property
and
only
by
the
grace
of
God.
AX
That
was
no
one
injured
and
the
council
has
remained
closed
mouth
about
this
travesty
and
some
I
I,
like
everyone
else,
I'm
concerned
about
prioritizing
people,
because
people
come
first
and
I'd
like
to
see
connections
work
with
thresholds
to
provide
Professional
Services
inside
the

Inn
and
I
want
to
hear
about
the
ethics
violation.
It's
problematic
when
elected
officials
such
as
read
and
burns
give
rental
assistance
our
prioritize
over
families
who
are
in
crisis.
AX
It
is
not
only
unethical
but
immoral
for
electives
to
prioritize
themselves
over
the
taxpayers
and
voted
to
put
them
in
office.
This
applies
to
all
elected
officials.
I.
Have
it
makes
me
question:
are
we
really
in
it
to
help
people
or
the
most
vulnerable
residents
of
this
community,
or
are
we
just
in
it
for
yet
another
photo
op?
Thank.
AY
Here's
in
the
Fifth
Ward
across
from
the
proposed,
if
Ford's
project,
site
I'm
here,
to
ask
the
council
to
request
amendments
to
the
District
65
plan
for
the
Fifth
Ward
school,
to
reduce
the
footprint
to
two-thirds
of
what
is
being
requested
and
to
remove
the
busing
lay
by
Lane
on
Simpson
Street.
The
current
plan
for
the
school
is
for
900
students
with
multiple
buses
in
our
congested
Community.
AY
The
plan
is
not
for
the
fit
for
just
a
Fifth
Ward
school,
it's
for
a
city-wide
school
and
for
an
additional
three
grades
more
than
every
other
regular
neighborhood
Elementary
School,
the
Hill
Arts
businesses
Community,
has
communicated
that
the
density
of
traffic
and
parking
for
this
area
is
not
compatible
with
the
current
District
65
plan.
These
parking
and
density
concerns
have
been
documented
since
November
of
2021
long
before
the
plan
was
designed.
I,
like
other
members
of
the
Hill
Arts
business
Community,
are
very
supportive
of
a
Fifth
Ward
School.
Our
was
our
request.
AY
Is
that
it
be
reflective
of
the
size
lot
and
the
density
of
the
neighborhood
A
reduced
size
plan
would
still
allow
for
a
very
vibrant
K-5
school
without
creating
congestion
that
is
unhealthy
and
potentially
unsafe.
The
density
of
the
school
and
its
impact
on
the
neighborhood
does
not
reflect
the
city's
approve,
carp
and
Thrive
goals.
The
Fifth,
Ward
Community
deserves
a
thoughtful
plan
that
integrates
the
collective
needs
of
the
students
community
members
and
the
businesses
in
the
neighborhood.
Thank.
AY
A
AZ
Good
evening
and
thank
you,
my
name
is
John
Harris
from
the
coalition
to
end
homelessness.
In
Evanston,
we
are
a
relatively
new
group
of
about
25
organizations
in
the
community,
working
together
to
end
homelessness
in
Evanston,
I've
also
spent
time
learning
and
working
in
such
communities
as
Rockford
Phoenix
and
Oak
Park,
and
over
the
past
three
years,
we've
seen
that
the
housing
first
model
works.
When
you
get
people
into
stable
situations
where
they
have
a
place
to
live,
then
work
with
them
to
provide
wraparound,
Services
tailored
to
their
individual
needs.
AZ
A
BA
BB
A
BA
You
Mr
Mayor
I,
made
my
extended
speech
on
this
a
couple
weeks
ago,
so
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
detail
other
than
to
say
this
is
the
right
thing
to
do.
This
is
working
in
other
communities
and
we
have
overwhelming
support
in
this
neighborhood
and
so
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
everybody
who
lives
on
Oak
Street
who
lives
in
the
neighborhood
and
who
lives
in
other
neighborhoods
in
Evanston.
BA
For
supporting
this
initiative
and
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
folks
who
have
expressed
their
concerns,
and
it's
been
my
intention
through
this
process,
to
listen
to
everybody
to
meet
with
everybody
who
has
requested
a
meeting,
and
I
have
done
my
best
to
accommodate
the
concerns
of
the
neighbors,
to
make
sure
that
we're
putting
together
a
program
that
we
can
all
be
proud
of
for
years
to
come.
So
thank
you
to
all
the
neighbors
and
the
stakeholders
that
have
been
a
part
of
this
conversation.
BA
BC
Good
evening,
yes,
I
agree
with
most
of
the
speakers
this
evening
that
we
do
face
a
very
big
challenge
with
regard
to
housing.
Our
unhoused
community
and
I
also
believe
that
Evanston
that
we
should
provide
housing
for
everybody
in
our
city.
BC
So
tonight
I'm
speaking,
I'm
speaking
about
primarily
about
housing,
Justice
and
primarily
about
protecting
those
most
vulnerable.
It
is
essential
that
we
have
measures
in
place.
I
have
realized
that
the
you
know
the
connections
for
the
homeless,
marketing
special
use
permit
is
going
to
get
issued.
I'm
not
you
know,
I
understand
that
this
is
going
to
get
approved,
but
first
and
foremost,
I
I.
It's
incumbent
on
me
in
good
conscience.
I
can't
not
speak
to
the
importance
of
having
safety
measures
in
place.
BC
First,
I'm,
not
talking
about
evicting
anybody,
I'm
not
talking
about
closing
anything
down
this
isn't
about.
If
it's
about
how-
and
so
we
did
our
city,
you
know
hired
an
excellent
foremost
expert
on
on
group
housing
who
did
craft
a
very
strong
operating
agreement.
This
is
essential
for
the
safety
of
these
residents,
who
you
know,
are
vulnerable
and
who
don't
often
have
advocate
for
themselves.
So
it's
essential
that
we
do
this
now.
BC
You
know
we
don't
have
a
license.
We
don't
have
a
normal
licensing
program.
We
rely
on
these
operating
agreements
and
we
need
to
have
the
provisions
in
our
operating
agreement
that
a
licensing
would
normally
have.
That
would
include
protections
for
these
residents
and
protections
that
would
also
extend
to
neighbors.
It
doesn't
do
anybody
good
to
have
an
operating
agreement
that
isn't
clear,
that's
amorphous
where
the
obligations
for
the
operating
the
operator
isn't
very
clear
and
as
presently
written,
the
operating
agreement
does
not
provide
the
needed
Clarity.
BC
It's
too
vague
as
to
what
the
connections
for
the
homeless
obligations
are.
It
needs
to
be
more
explicit
and
so
I
can
go
on.
Someone
questioned,
they
were
not
rebutted.
I
can
go
on
about
if
I
were
provided
the
time
about
the
new
Provisions
in
attorney.
Lobers.
Sorry
lobbers
operating
agreement
that
he
wrote
for
the
city
that
are
dismissed
and
and
not
present
in
the
current
one
that
are
so
essential
for
the
safety
of
these
residents.
If
provided
time,
I
believe
we
also
have
attorney
lober
is
with
us.
BC
Can
he
so
those
include
things
such
as
the
non-retaliation
provision?
It's
not
present
that
it's
vague.
AL
BC
That
really
is
the
teeth
that
provides
Assurance
for
safety,
so
that
that
has
is
not
the
specificity
of
non-retaliation.
Provision
is
not
present
and
about
reporting
of
violations
and
mistreatments
Staffing
is
not
also,
it
just
says
two
round-the-clock
on-site
staff.
We
need
a
little
bit
more
about
that
whether
they're
desk
clerks
at
night-
or
you
know,
there's
nothing
about
that
record.
Keeping
this
is
essential.
Attorney
lober
provides.
You
know
many
much
data,
that's
required
in
order,
so
that
the
city
can
effectively
effectively
evaluate
the
efficacy
of
the
program.
BC
We
need
to
do
that.
We
need
to
do
that
for
these
residents
all
the
data
that
he
he
asked
for
the
record
keeping
this
is.
This
is
really
essential
so
that
we
know
that
we're
running
a
safe,
a
productive,
effective
operation,
emergency
closing,
that's
something
too!
That's
a
new
provision.
All
of
us-
and
you
know,
I
I-
can
go
on
about
response
to
safety
incidents,
preparation
for
emergencies
and
I
didn't
mention
Narcan
last
time,
I
agree
with
attorney
lober.
BC
That
residents
should
also
be
trained
on
that
I
read
a
police
report
where
a
roommate
watched
where
a
resident
watched
his
roommate
die
of
overdosing
when
he
ran
around
looking
for
someone
to
to
help
him
so
I.
BC
Safeties
safety
nets
in
place
watching
them
live
in
fear,
I
can't
in
good
Consciousness,
say
Okay.
So
so
that's
essentially
my
position.
But
could
we
ask
attorney
Lauber
to
address
I?
Think
he's
here
with
us
this
evening.
A
Well,
I,
guess
you
can
ask
you
can
do
what
you
want
with
your
time,
including
asking
someone
questions
I.
Would
the
two
questions
I?
Would
flag
is
number
one?
Do
you
have
a
question
for
Daniel
Lauber
about
the
special
use,
which
is
what
we're
discussing
at
this
time
and
question
two
is
given
that
he
was
consultant
retained
to
support
our
legal
department
and
we
have
our
Corporation
Council
here.
Wouldn't
it
make
more
sense
to
ask
questions
at
the
Corporation
Council.
BC
I
Of
order
I
think,
if
he's
just
going
to
pontificate
on
the
operating
agreement,
that's
more
appropriate
for
SP2.
If
the
council
member
has
specific
questions
relating
to
sp1
or
relating
to
well.
A
BC
No
I,
I
guess
I
would
only
say
that,
because
we
have
this
new
licensing
program,
we
rely
entirely
when
we
pass.
The
special
use
whatever
is
in
the
operating
agreement
is
all
we
have
to
go
on
because
since
we
don't
have
a
licensing
program,
so
I
think
one
is
integral
to
the
other,
but
I
guess
it
could
wait
till
till
the
discussion
of
the
operating
agreement,
although
I
will
say,
I
do
also
have
concerns
about
the
ethics
and
the
way
that
this
has
proceeded
and
can
I
think
normal.
You
know
I
think.
BC
A
BC
Next
person,
so
I'm
concerned
with
regard
to
accusals
I
I,
who's,
recusing
and
I,
mean
I,
understand
that
I'm
councilmember,
Reed
and
council
member
burns
are
accusing
themselves
and
council
member
Revell
I,
just
I.
Think
you,
since
my
understanding
is
that
you've,
you
and
your
husband
have
donated
upwards
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
I
think
we
should
all
be
aware
of
this
in
order
to
understand
people's
interest
and
again
this
isn't
about
a
border
point.
BC
No
I
very
much
value
her
her
sentiment,
but
I
think
I
know
in
most
most
ethics
ordinance
if
it's
doesn't,
if
it
isn't
in
line
with
what
the
general
public
is.
You
know
considered
in
terms
of
donations
that
that
put
puts
you
in
the
in
the
field
of
recusal.
So
if
it's
out
of
the
ordinary
of
what
a
general
public
would
donate
that,
generally
speaking,
that's
cause
for
well.
A
BD
Go
ahead
good
evening,
members
of
city
council,
mayor
Biz
clerk
Mendoza,
the
city
manager,
still
Nicholas
Cummings,
Corporation
Council.
All
three
members
of
city
council
have
been
provided,
advice
and
counsel
with
regard
to
any
alleged
or
purported
conflicts,
as
I
say
all
the
time.
With
this
position
we
go,
we
only
give
advice
and
people
can
take
that
advice.
BD
I,
believe
all
advice
has
been
followed
consistently
by
each
individual
person
based
upon
the
advice
that
was
given,
and
it's
not
for
me
to
share
attorney
client
privilege
and
that
privilege
is
held
with
the
client.
So
I
will
say
with
respect
to
what
you
just
discussed
concerning
councilmember
Revell
for
Evanston
city
code
when
it
comes
to
ethics
talks
about
conflicts
being
present
if
it
benefits
the
member
of
the
council.
BD
What
we're
talking
about
here
is
purported
bias,
because
a
council
member
is
supporting
an
applicant
financially
completely
separate
from
their
duties
on
the
council.
So
I
am
not
aware
and
I
have
not
been
made
aware
of
any
benefit.
That's
bestowed
upon
councilman
Breville
for
her
vote
related
to
this
issue.
Only
that
she
is
given
money
outside
of
her
capacity
as
a
member
of
city
council,
so
I
do
not
believe
in
reading
the
Evanston
city
code
and
checking
with
our
special
counsel,
I
believe.
BD
BC
So
Way
Beyond
that
you
know
very
much
distinguishable
just
distinguishable
from
the
general
public.
A
I
think
the
question
has
been
answered:
council
member
Reed.
I
Thank
you
I
just
again,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
it
again.
I
stated
my
case
on
the
first
vote
on
this
I
I.
Don't
know
where
you
are
you
understanding
that
I
was
going
to
accuse
myself
I
plan
on
voting
on
on
this
issue.
I
I
I
received
general
assistance
that
was
available
to
anyone
in
the
public
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge,
I
I
did
not
ask
for
nor
receive
any
special
treatment,
and
so
I
and
my
it's
almost
lifelong
record
on
these
issues
would
clearly
indicate
that
this
is
something
I
would
be
supporting
so
much
so
that
I
even
again
asked
for
it
to
be
potentially
in
my
ward,
which
I
don't
know,
if
that's
a
typical
for
a
council
member
to
ask
for
a
home
for
a
shelter
for
individuals
facing
homelessness
to
be
located
in
their
Ward.
I
So
I
I
appreciate
the
concerns
there,
like
I,
said
17,
let's
make
it
20..
So
you
know
we'll
have
this
discussion
with
the
ethics
board
and
I
look
forward
to
you
know
making
clear
what
the
rules
are.
So
thank
you.
A
First
of
all,
we're
missing
not
saying
earlier
with
the
clear
police
ad
counselor
suffered
into
the
role
and
with
that
seemed
no
further
discussion.
Would
the
court
please
take
the
role
on
the
motion
to
pass
ordinance
14-0-23.
This
is
again
final
action.
A
A
BA
You
Mr
Mayor,
we
kind
of
got
into
this
discussion
a
little
bit
earlier
than
I
had
anticipated
so
right
now
we
are
going
to
be
focusing
not
on
the
special
use.
That,
thankfully,
is
behind
us.
We're
talking
about
the
operating
agreement
now
and
the
operating
agreement
is
one
of
the
mechanisms.
BA
One
of
the
legs
of
the
three-legged
stool
we've
been
putting
in
place
to
make
sure
that
we're
setting
a
high
bar
of
of
expectations
and
allowing
the
city
to
have
some
oversight
to
make
sure
not
only
that
the
people
in
the
care
of
the
margarita
Inn
are
receiving
the
services
that
they
need,
but
that
they,
if
they
get
that
care,
if
they
get
the
services,
then
the
impact
on
the
community
is
minimal.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
folks
who
have
been
a
part
of
putting
this
operating
agreement
together.
BA
Also,
thank
you
to
council
member
Kelly
for
bringing
in
attorney
Lauber.
We
have
Incorporated
some
of
his
input
in
the
previous
version,
which
we
saw
two
weeks
ago
between
Monday
the
8th
and
this
evening,
we've
taken
another
look
and
tightened
up
a
few
requirements
even
more
taking
Mr
lauber's
input
into
account,
taking
some
input
into
account
from
some
community
members.
So
I
do
have
a
motion
to
make
on
an
amended
operating
agreement.
BA
A
I
really
appreciate
your
practice
of
sending
these
things
and
writing
in
advance
just
for
the
benefit
of
the
public.
Would
you
mind
just
giving
a
quick
summary
of
the
motion.
BA
Absolutely
absolutely
we
have
one
two,
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight
nine
changes
I'll
go
through
them
fairly
quickly.
We
moved
the
statement
about
the
percentage
of
Evanston
residents
served
into
the
recital
section.
It's
now
in
one
of
the,
whereas
comments,
and
we
also
added
a
clarification
that
the
onboarding
process
should
include
screening
for
mental
and
physical
health
issues.
BA
In
section
B6,
we
added
the
requirement
that
the
manager
should
be
required
to
take
appropriate
action
after
an
issue
after
being
notified
about
an
issue
in
item
B9.
Regarding
the
prohibition
of
loitering
and
panhandling
on
adjacent
properties.
We
are
on
margarita
in
property,
we're
also
extending
that
to
adjacent
properties
in
paragraph
B16,
which
is
Staffing
minimums.
BA
We
have
specified
that
the
overnight
employees
may
not
be
Margarita
residents
and
we
added
a
reference
to
the
organizational
chart
and
Staffing
plan
that
are
part
of
Margarita's
operating
manual
and
that
will
be
reviewed
on
an
at
least
an
annual
basis
when
they
operate
an
agreement
and
license
is
renewed.
Paragraph
B17.
We
specify
the
exact
name
of
the
database.
That
connections
is
using
to
track
all
the
data
relative
to
their
clients.
BA
We
added
a
new
section,
which
is
requiring
connections
to
provide
an
annual
report
on
the
outcomes
of
Margarita,
in
which
re-numbered
some
paragraphs,
so
the
new
paragraph
23
we
tightened
up
some
language
regarding
Grievances
and
discrimination,
complaints,
paragraph
25,
we
explicitly
called
out
the
Fair
Housing
Act
and
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act.
We
didn't
have
to
do
that.
BA
A
BB
A
Council
member,
when
seconds
Mr
Cummings,
you
want
to
weigh
in
before
any
vote
occur
on
this.
BD
I
just
want
to
let
the
council
know
that
the
amendment
made
to
B9
is
not
supported
by
Law
Department
staff.
BD
The
proposed
amendment
to
be
paragraph
B9,
the
prohibition
of
loitering
panhandling
on
adjacent
properties,
is
not
supported
by
the
Law
Department
staff.
It's
virtually
hard,
it's
really
difficult
and,
first
of
all,
it's
a
police
department's
purview,
but
second
of
all,
we
felt
in
previous
versions
it's
very
difficult
to
force
a
property
owner
to
try
and
enforce
loitering
matters
on
other
properties
that
are
not
their
property,
so
you
can
certainly
vote
on
it
include
it,
but
I
just
wanted
to
let
the
council
know
that
we,
the
Law
Department,
did
not
support
that
change.
A
I
For
the
reasons
that
Council
Cummings
mentioned
it,
also
in
my
spare
time,
looking
at
just
constitutional
law,
it
feels
a
bit
concerning
there.
I
don't
know
if
there
is
the
willingness
to
remove
the
reference
to
adjacent
property,
I
I
think
it's
almost
impossible
for
even
connections
to
enforce
this
on
their
tenants,
essentially
can't
so
I
know.
A
lot
of
work
went
into
this
and
I
know
folks
have
agreed
to
it.
I
would
just
be
more
comfortable,
removing
that
particular
language
I,
so
I'll
leave
it
there.
Thank
you.
AE
I
I
Yeah
I
would
like
to
vote
for
this
and
vote
for
it
comfortably.
So
I
will
move
to
sorry,
Jonathan
I
I
will
move
to
remove
particularly
the
language
about
adjacent
properties
in
B9.
BA
While
you're
doing
that,
I
will
just
jump
in
here
and
say:
I
am
please.
A
BA
This
kind
of
conversation,
where
we're
slogging
through
the
details
of
how
to
do
this
and
having
moved
well
beyond
the
question
of
if.
A
A
Accounts
Mr
Cummins:
do
you
I
realize
I'm?
We
are
in
the
absolute
epicenter
of
my
procedural
deficiencies.
Let's
say
council
member
Newsom
made
a
motion
which
has
been
seconded
was
being
proposed
as
an
amendment
to
that
motion
which
hasn't
yet
passed.
So
would
we
then
take
a
vote
on
council
member
Reed's
Amendment,
which
would
then
essentially
determine
what
amendment
of
council
member
news
we're
voting
on
afterwards.
A
So,
council,
member
Reed
moves
the
deletion
of
the
previously
mentioned
aspect
of
council
member
news
Amendment,
specifically
the
part
that
refers
to
loitering
in
properties
adjacent
to
the
margarita
and
council
member
Revel
seconds.
Is
that
correct?
A
We
now
all
have
it
in
writing
in
shorthand.
It's.
A
But
no
I
understood.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
council
member
Reed's
amendment
to
council
member
news
Amendment,
seeing
none
with
a
clerk?
Please
take
the
role
on
this
most
recent
amendment
to
Amendment.
BA
A
G
A
BC
BC
So
when
I
read
through
that
doesn't
doesn't
spell
out
to
me
a
that
it
would
be
prohibited.
So.
E
BC
BD
BA
It
a
smoke-free
environment,
it
is
a
smoke-free
environment.
Inside
the
building.
There
is
smoking
allowed
in
on
the
outside
deck
outside
patio.
BC
BC
Where
again
we're
the
specificity
is
so
important
in
an
operating
agreement.
If
we
want
it
to
be,
you
know
a
smoke-free
environment,
then
it
has
to
say
that
explicitly
and
again
attorney
lober
did
an
excellent
job
of
really
writing
out
all
the
fine
details
necessary
to
create
that
Health,
a
healthier
environment,
and
that's
why
I'd
really
like
to
ask
him
if
he
could
have
a
little
extra
time
not
run
my
clock.
BC
BC
Okay,
so
I
yeah
I
would
like
to
ask
attorney
lober
if
he
could
speak
to
the
provisions,
many
of
them
the
non-retaliation
provisions
on
reporting
violations,
mistreatments
Staffing
record
keeping
emergency
closing
order
like
what
what
triggers
that
the
smoking
again,
even
that
response
to
Safety
in
incidents,
preparation
for
emergencies,
all
really
detailed
and
again
ensure
much
and
there's
no
reason
that
this
really
couldn't
still
happen.
I
mean
we're
not
talking
about.
No,
nobody
would
get
kicked
out.
BC
It's
about
just
doing
this
right
and
that's
what
I'm
advocating
for
substance
use
disorders
again,
you
know
like
why,
wouldn't
we
want
to
go
along
with
his,
you
know,
recommendation
of
having
residents
trained
in
in
administering
Narcan
and
reasonable
accommodations.
I
think
that's
also
important.
BC
So
if
I'm,
a
attorney
Lauer
could
just
speak
a
little
bit
to
the
importance
of
these
Provisions
that
you've
added,
and
why
why
these
are
so
important.
Thank
you.
BE
Hey
thank
you.
I
want
to
make
one
thing
really
really
clear.
If
I
I
lived
in
Amazon
for
17
years
and
if
I
still
lived
in
Evanston,
I,
probably
would
have
been
among
the
People
speaking
in
favor
of
the
special
use
permit.
BE
At
least
you
know,
based
on
my
approach
to
housing,
without
having
to
actually
seen
the
hearings,
but
I
also
spend
most
of
my
work
either
representing
group
housing
arrangements
or
crafting
regulations
to
make
sure
that
the
people
in
these
living
arrangements
are
protected,
and
one
of
the
things
that
got
me
very
concerned
with
this
operating
agreement.
Quite
honestly,
is
how
loosey-goosey
it
is.
BE
BE
The
city
council
has
just
approved
the
special
use
permit,
based
on
the
presentations
of
connections
that
will
provide
a
certain
level
of
Staffing
very
specific
level.
My
recommendations
I
took
exactly
what
the
levels
that
connections
says.
It
will
maintain
and
put
that
in
there
with
the
requirement
that
if
they
wish
to
reduce
the
level
of
Staffing,
they
need
to
notify
the
city
and
get
City
consent.
BE
That
seems
rather
reasonable.
It's
basically
gonna.
It
also
requires
that
a
manager
and
supervised
me
on
call
at
all
times
it's
it's
important
to
look
at
the
specifics
and
then
obviously
don't
have
the
time
to
go
through
all
these
specifics
record
keeping
you
can't
just
say
they
do
an
annual
report,
there's
no
Clarity
there.
What
they're
supposed
to
give
you!
You
can't
just
refer
to
some
software
program
that
they
use,
there's
no
clarity
as
to
what's
required.
BE
Instead,
I've
suggested
the
collection
and
distribution
to
the
city
of
certain
shared
their
data,
including
a
number
of
residents
at
median,
mean
number
of
residents
length
of
residency
demographic
data
where
people
come
from.
There's
a
concern
expressed
that
this
is
Serbian
Evanston
residence,
the
number
in
nature
of
violations,
safety
incidents
and
a
whole
number
of
things.
That
would
enable
the
city
council
to
evaluate
if
indeed,
connections,
is
living
up
to
its
assertions
and
being
as
effective
as
we
all
hope.
It
will
be.
The
there's
a
crying
need
for
a
reasonable
accommodation
policy.
BE
I
searched
the
Evanston
ordinance
ordinances
on
Unicode
and
could
not
find
any
clear
recitation
of
a
reasonable
accommodation
policy
or
process
which
is
essential
for
people
with
disabilities,
and
this
is
going
to
be
housing.
People
with
disabilities
there's
a
need
to
assure
that
the
residents
are
protected
from
retaliation
and
I
I've,
never
heard
of
an
ordinance
that
refers
to
the
operator's
policy.
BE
That's
critical,
that
the
ordinance
provides
specific
details
to
to
prevent
retaliation
and
handle
the
process
or
complaints
a
resident
might
file,
or
even
a
staff
member
might
file
now
I
realize
this
is
looking
at
problems
developing,
but
the
idea
is
if
we
have.
If
you
have
these
kind
of
Protections
in
the
ordinance
in
the
operating
agreement,
it
will
provide
those
protections
to
the
residents.
BE
Four
boarding
houses
and
rooming
houses
and
shared
living
arrangements,
as
well
as
the
ordinance
licensing
ordinance
I
worked
with
John,
paldini's,
wonderful,
City
attorney,
then
in
Prescott
Arizona,
we
know
from
as
far
as
I
know,
there
have
not
been
problems
getting
implementing
these
ordinances
with
the
specificity
that
is
so
critical
to
making
sure
that
the
operation
works
properly.
For
example,
a
required
documents.
BE
What
was
put
in
the
operating
agreement
is
really
watered
down,
there's
really
no
specificity
and
what
I
put
together
suggesting
the
four
five
elements
I
suggested
are
rather
essential
for
the
city
to
know,
and
I
mean
it
includes
a
copy
of
their
plan
for
screening
people
to
determine,
if
they're,
under
the
influence
of
alcohol
or
controlled
substances
and
their
plan
to
for
immediate
long-term
needs
for
those
admitted
to
the
margarita
Inn
their
security
plan.
BE
There
are
procedures
that
can
inform,
include
performing
terminal
background
checks
which
we
do
have
in
the
ordinance
for
in
the
agreement.
Fortunately,
codes
of
conduct
for
staff,
the
rules
of
operating
it
requires
it
says
exactly
what
they
need
to
provide,
and
the
city
and
connections
and
the
residents
of
Margarita
will
all
be
better
off
with
specificity,
so
I,
you
know,
I
I
applaud
the
city
council
for
philosophically,
at
least
for
approving
the
special
use
permit
again.
I
did
not
attend
the
hearings.
BE
I
realized
this
new
nuanced,
so
I
don't
know
if
they
met
the
stands
or
not.
I
assume
the
city
council
feels
they
did
meet
the
standards
for
the
special
use
permit,
but
it's
really
critical
to
include
in
the
operating
agreement,
since
there
is
no
detailed
licensing
requirements
or
standards,
the
sort
of
standards
that
go
in
a
licensing
ordinance-
and
these
have
been
very
successful
in
Dallas
and
Prescott,
and
they
would
be
wise
here
and
typical.
The
watering
down
is
the
concern
over
a
substance,
disorder
use
disorder.
This
is
a
very
important
thing.
It's
very
good.
BE
The
production
is
allowing
people
with
substance
use
disorder
in
that
in
this
Margarita
end.
It's
critical
to
have
this
kind
of
housing
available,
but
it's
also
critical
that
staff
and
residents
are
trained
in
the
use
of
Narcan.
The
manufacturer
of
Narcan
has
a
nine
minute
video
on
its
website
and
on
YouTube
training.
People
in
this
and
people
need
to
understand
that
you
can't
just
administer
Narcan.
BE
So
please
understand
the
suggestions
I've
made
in
here
are
intended
to
protect
the
residents
and
give
the
city
and
connections
real
clarity
as
to
what
they
need
to
provide
and
what
the
city's
obligations
are
as
well.
So
I
would
encourage
you
to
give
us
a
chance
to
discuss
this
further
and
hopefully
come
back
with
a
more
complete
operating
agreement.
But
that,
of
course,
is
your
legislative
choice
and
I.
Certainly,
of
course,
respect
that
and
leave
it
up
to
you.
BC
Thank
you
very
much
so
I
agree.
I
think
this
is,
you
know,
for
the
most
part,
we're
seeing
cities
moving
away
from
establishments
with
large
numbers
of
homeless,
but
we
are
moving
forward
on
this
I
think
it's
particularly
given
the
large
number.
We
really
have
to
have
a
tight
operating
agreement
to
ensure
their
safety,
and
you
know
it's
just
really
so
critical
for
the
safety
of
the
residents
and
so
so
I
wish.
We
would
consider
incorporating
all
of
attorney
lobbers
recommendations
here.
I
I
I
want
to
be
genuine,
I
I,
certainly
appreciate
the
sentiment
and,
where
you
know
both
councilmember
Kelly
and
attorney
lober
are
coming
from.
I
I
will
say
that
just
remind
all
of
us
up
here
and
everyone
out
there
we
are
legislators,
we
have
the
power
to
make
motions
and
I
think
anyone
who
has
concerns
with
something
if
the
goal
isn't
just
to
try
to
poison
the
well
and
extend
things
you
make
a
motion
to
actually
try
to
change
that
thing
and
I've.
Yet
to
hear
that.
I
Secondly,
you
know
some
of
these
requirements
are
I.
Think
two
owners
take
one.
For
example,
the
Narcan
expectation
that
every
resident
I
guess
in
order
to
be
a
resident
of
the
margarita,
and
you
have
to
know
how
to
use
Narcan
I,
don't
expect
every
resident
to
to
step
up
and
have
to
be
a
hero.
I
mean
we
can't
really
expect
that
of
of
everyone
and
sure
optional
training
and
the
desire
to
get
folks
trained
is
a
great
thing.
I
You
didn't
know
what
to
do
and
that
training
kind
of
went
out
the
window
and
so
I
think
it's
reasonable
for
staff
to
to
be
mandated
through
some
agreement,
but
I
think
to
to
put
that
mandate
on
residents
just
in,
in
my
view
and
I
think
research
on
human
behavior
May
back
this
up
is
not
a
reasonable
expectation,
particularly
for
a
community
agreement
operating
agreement
in
in
this
sense,
so
I
I'd
just
be
interested
in
if
these
are
genuine
concerns
and
folks
aren't
looking
just
boys
in
the
wall.
I
I'd
just
love
to
hear
some
specific
emotions
that
are
sent
to
us
in
writing
with
with
the
improper
procedure.
So
thank
you.
BD
Could
offer
insight
as
well
if
the
council
is
interested
as
to
why
certain
Provisions
I
mean
first,
the
vast
majority
of
Mr
Robert's
suggestions
were
incorporated
into
the
agreement.
I
will
say
that,
but
I
can
offer
explanations
the
council's
interested
as
to
why
certain
Provisions
were
excluded,
particularly
with
respect
to
Narcan,
is
our
understanding
that
Narcan
has
been
approved
by
the
FDA
as
an
over-the-counter
drugs.
So
to
require
specific
training,
we
felt
to
councilman.
BD
The
facility
and
I
think
a
lot
of
the
requirements
that
were
included
were
putting
the
city
in
a
position
that
actually
connections
for
the
homeless
should
be
in
and
not
not
the
city
and
so,
for
example,
the
retaliation
provision
I
think
is
pretty
specific
enough,
but
it's
also
supported
by
the
Cities
human
rights
ordinance
so
to
to
put
further
pressure
on
the
city
with
respect
to
like
requests
for
accommodations.
The
city's
not
running
the
facility
connections
is
so
the
city's
here
to
enforce
and
not
necessarily
run
the
facility.
A
BA
You
Mr
Mayor
and
Council
Cummings
addressed
part
of
what
I
was
going
to
say,
which
was
to
acknowledge
that
most
of
Mr
lauber's
input
has
been
Incorporated
in
one
way,
shape
or
form.
The
version
we
have
now
amended
is
a
little
bit
more
explicit
in
acknowledging
some
of
his
input.
You
know,
for
example,
we
are
now
calling
out
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act,
by
name
in
the
affordable
housing
act
by
name
rather
than
just
saying,
relevant
federal
law.
BA
So
it's
changes
like
that
that
we've
made
I
had
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
councilmember
Kelly
and
attorney
lubber
on
Friday,
so
I'm
yeah
I
went
through
all
these
changes
with
them
at
that
time.
BA
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
understood
that
we
are
essentially
incorporating
by
reference
the
Margarita
and
participant
handbook
and
connections
operating
manual.
If
those
documents
are
ever
revised
by
connections,
they
are
obligated
per
this
operating
agreement
to
let
the
city
know-
and
we
do
have
as
part
of
this
new
license
process
the
opportunity
to
review
those
procedures,
review
all
those
documents
on
an
annual
basis,
and
if
we
need
to
make
changes
in
the
future.
BA
We
certainly
have
the
mechanism
built
in
to
be
able
to
do
that
going
back
to
how
this
discussion
started.
We
were
talking
about
smoking,
so
referring
to
section
GG
of
the
residence
handbook,
which
is
Page
13..
BA
Smoking
is
not
allowed
inside
of
the
shelter
at
any
time,
Etc
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
so
we
could
copy
and
paste
all
20
Pages
here
into
our
ordinance,
but
it's
all
here
and
I
think
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
now,
as
amended,
is
appropriately
strict,
yet
flexible
enough
to
allow
connections
to
react
to
changes
in
their
operating
environment.
BA
It
changes
in
the
homeless
population
that
they
serve,
which
occur
on
a
probably
even
a
daily
basis,
and
you
know
what
we've
put
together
here
is
extremely
effective
and
regards
connections
as
as
a
trusted
partner,
because
they
have
the
expertise
in
this
area.
This
is
not
the
city's
homeless
shelter.
This
is
connections
for
the
homeless,
who
have
Decades
of
experience
doing
this
work.
BA
We
are
trusting
that
they
will
be
able
to
continue
to
do
this
work
and
have
set
the
high
bar
that,
when
the
current
managers
and
employees
are
enjoying
their
Blissful
retirement
in
20
30
years
or
fewer,
that
we
can
count
on
them
to
continue
doing
this
work
at
a
very
high
level.
So
I'm
completely
comfortable
with
where
we're
at
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
voting
on
this.
BC
Thank
you
so
I
think
in
an
we
don't
have
licensing
anymore
per
se.
We
have
this
one
size
fits
all,
so
it
is
incumbent
on
us
to
make
sure
that
in
the
operating
agreement
we're
stating
things
like
if
it's
a
smoke-free
environment,
it
needs
to
say
that
not
reference
because,
as
you
just
saw
our
Clean
Air
Act
it
doesn't
it
doesn't,
it
doesn't
preclude
smoking
in
the
margarita
Inn.
It
would
say
that
25
of
the
rooms,
the
private
rooms
residents
could
smoke.
BC
So
if
that's
what
we
want,
we
can't
refer
people
back
to
the
latest
edition
of
a
handbook,
those
change
year
to
year.
We
as
a
city.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
in
that
operating
agreement,
everything
we
want
for
the
safety
and
Welfare
of
those
residents
is
explicitly
in
that
operating
agreement,
including
you
know,
like
the
smoking,
including
Staffing.
BC
You
know,
I
checked
with
other
places.
That
said,
you
know
if
it's
around
the
clock,
they
would
say
two
desk
clerks
or,
as
attorney
Lauber
said
one
that's
awake.
This
just
says
two
staff
members
I,
you
know
all
of
these
have
to
be
explicit.
What
we
expect
for
the
safety
of
these
residents
record
keeping
I,
don't
know
why
we
wouldn't
want
as
a
city
again
we
don't
have
a
licensing
program
that
defines
that
would
now
stipulate
what's
required
under
this.
BC
You
know
transitional
housing
for
for
the
in-house,
so
you
know
this
record
keeping
is
so
important.
We
should
care
about
about
the
efficacy
of
this
of
this
program.
We
should
want
to
see
that
it's
that
it's
working
and
all
of
this
data
that
he's
reced
that
attorney
Lauber
is
recommending
should
be
included
and
yes,
Council
memory.
I
did
my
understanding
from
council
member
nuzma
was
that
connections
wanted
to
meet
with
me
regarding
it,
the
operating
agreement
I
was
prepared
to
discuss
this
and
hoping
last
Friday,
but
it
ended
up
just
being
Jonathan.
BC
BC
So,
yes,
I'm,
I'm
I
would
I
will
move
to
to
table
this.
To
bring
this
back
with
with
tighter,
but
you
know,
I
know
where
that's
going.
A
I
Motions
can
be
made,
that's
all
that's
all
I'll,
say
I.
Think
it's
disingenuous
to
have
this
whole.
You
know
almost
20
minutes
of
show
without
making
a
single
motion
to
fulfill
the
goals
that
that
you
see
fit.
I
saw
something
that
I
didn't
like
earlier,
which
was
the
loitering
on
public
property.
Adjacent
and
I,
made
a
motion
to
change
it
and
I.
Think
that's
what
you
know
we
are
here.
I
We
have
a
specific
power
that
no
one
else
in
the
community
has
and
if
we're
not
going
to
attempt
to
make
motions
to
improve
things,
I
think
it
is
disingenuous,
and
it
leads
me
to
believe
that
some
of
this
is
not
about
really
wanting
to
create
that
change,
and
so
that
that
folks
are
saying
I
encourage
us
to
use
our
powers.
Council
members.
BC
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
say,
I
worked
very
hard
to
tighten
the
operating
agreement,
including
bringing
attorney
lawber
forward,
including
meeting
I've
worked
countless
hours
on
this,
so
yes,
I,
I,
know
where
the
tsunami
of
sentiment
is
going
on
this,
but
I
also
think
it's
very
important
that
people
care
that
people
care
about
the
quality
of
living
for
these
residents.
I.
BC
A
I
BC
Z
A
This
brings
us
to
item
sp3.
Would
anyone
care
to
make
a
motion
to
facilitate
a
discussion
on
this
item?
I.
I
A
Council
member
Reed
the
moves
that
we
begin:
a
discussion
on
the
Lyman
Mansion
council
member
Ravel
seconds.
We
begin
with
council
member
Revell.
BF
Just
thanks
well,
thank
you.
I
appreciated
this
extensive.
A
Hold
on
one
second
councilmember
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
movement
of
people
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
their
interests
over
the
course
of
many
months
in
the
previous
issue.
But
I
would
just
ask
people
to
keep
it
down
as
they
exit,
so
that
those
who
have
stayed
for
the.
AK
BF
BF
Oh
we'll
just
real
briefly
I
really
appreciated
the
extensive
memo
that
we
had
in
the
packet
and
certainly
agree
that
a
realistic,
Financial
strategy
is
very
much
needed
as
we
think
about
next
steps
for
Harley
Clark.
BF
There
were
three
models
that
are
in
the
memo
and
the
first
one
Rehabilitation
and
use
as
a
public
project.
I
I
I
I
understand
that
understand
that
to
me
that
the
city
would
raise
the
money
and
do
do
all
of
it,
which
I
think
is
not
what
the
council
has
has
in
mind.
The
second
model
is
disposition
and
Rehabilitation
as
a
private
project
and
I.
Think
that's
what
we've
been.
BF
That's
what
we
tried
most
recently
with
the
artist
book
house-
and
so
you
know,
fundra
fundraising
alone,
on
the
on
the
shoulders
of
a
particular
non-profit,
for
example.
Is,
is
not
really
a
sustainable
business,
sustainable
business
model,
so
I
think
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
this
evening
is
the
idea
of
a
public-private
partnership
and
how
that
might
work.
BF
So
I
guess
I'm
going
to
ask
staff
to
give
us
a
little
more
background
about
what
a
request
for
expression
of
Interest
would
would
look
like
for
us
and
how
that
would
be
different
from
a
normal
RFP.
BF
So
I
have
a
couple
questions
in
specific
anyway.
If
you
could
just
give
us
sort
of
an
overview
of
that
of.
BG
Course,
mayor
biss
city
manager,
Stowe
clerk,
Mendoza,
council
members,
my
name
is
Kate
Sterling
I'm,
a
city
planner
at
the
city,
I
principally
administer
the
historic
preservation
program
very
quickly.
One
quick
clarification
of
what
you
were
talking
about
disposition
and
use
as
a
private
project
would
be
sale
of
the
property
to
a
private
entity,
not
leasing.
So
the
example
a
previous
example
long-term
lease
with
the
artist
book
house.
That's
what
I
would
consider
a
passive
or
inactive
private
public
partnership
and
then
quickly
to
answer
your
question.
BG
The
difference
between
like
an
RFP
or
a
request
for
expressions
of
interest
is
the
RFP
is
relatively
specific.
In
that
it
it
looks
for
solutions
to
a
prescribed
problem
that
the
the
city
has.
In
this
case,
we
asked
for
individuals
that
were
interested
in
a
long-term
lease
agreement,
where
a
request
for
expression
of
interest
is
to
say
that
the
city
is
open
to
a
myriad
of
different
Alternatives
and
we're
asking
individuals
to
tell
us
what
they
think
is
possible.
BF
So
one
difference
in
my
mind
with
an
RFP
is
we
we
say
you
know
the
groups
that
are
interested
in
submitting
a
proposal
can't
can't
communicate
with
City
staff
or
elected
officials.
It's
it's
very
much.
A
hands-off
kind
of
process
is
that
at
all
different
with
this
request
for
expressions
of
interest,
is
there
more?
Is
there
more
give
and
take
I.
BG
Think
I
think
we
would
be
clear
with
our
our
transparency
and
what
we
were
willing
to
be
flexible
on
to
have
them
respond
to,
but
I,
don't
think
it'd
be
like
having
a
collection
of
individuals
in
the
room
and
coming
to
an
agreement.
It
would
be
similar
that
they
would
submit
their
ideas
to
us
and
you
would
review
them
collectively.
BG
So
I
they
could
play
one
of
two
roles,
a
role
that
they
commonly
play
is
that
they
facilitate
that
request
for
expression
of
Interest
themselves,
and
then
they
pass
along
that
information
to
the
municipality
or
the
owner
of
the
property.
Alternatively,
they
could
Market
that
request.
For
us
they
obviously
have
a
much
larger
and
broader
reach
than
than
we
do.
BG
BF
I
Thank
you,
I
learned
something
new
I've
heard
of
rfps
and
rfqs
and
RF
all
kinds
of
things.
Rfei
was
something
new
for
me.
A
request
for
expression
of
interest.
I
I
am
supportive
of
moving
down
a
similar
route
there
with
the
I
think
we
should
put
everything
on
the
table
and
or
in
fact
we
should
just
have
the
table
and
have
other
people
tell
us
what
is
on
the
table
and
that's
what
I
really
like
about
this
expression
of
Interest
pathway.
I,
do
think
we
need
to
make
clear
that
as
we
move
forward
with
this,
what
is
you
know
what
what
the
table
is
or
to
use
councilmember
news
metaphor
of
the
pizza?
I
What
what
is
the
the
pizza
that
we're
we're
talking
about
and
I
think
it's
clear
that
the
the
grounds,
the
Jensen
grounds
would
certainly
be
accessible
to
whoever,
if
someone,
if
we
choose
to
go
down
the
route
of
someone
using
and
rehabbing,
going
through
an
Adaptive
reuse
process
with
the
space.
Certainly
I
think
it
needs
to
be
clear
that
they
have
full
access
to
use
the
grounds.
I
But
there
is
a
group
that
soon
enough
will
have
the
right
to
maintain
the
grounds
and
to
keep
it
up
to
the
Jim's
Jensen
Landscaping
standards.
I
I
do
believe
that
we
maybe
should
have
settled
that
before
we
had
this
discussion,
but
I
think
it's
fine
that
we're
here
I
do
think
it's
also
should
be.
I
You
know
made
clear
that
during
this
process
that
also
the
coach
house
is
going
to
be
separate
of
the
main
mansion
and
then
that
will
also
be
utilized
by
the
James
Jensen
group
and
so
I
I
am
actually
really
open
to
any
possibility
here.
I
don't
have
a
hard
line
really
anywhere
as
far
as
what
happens
with
the
Mansion,
but
but
I
do
think
you
know
my
Hardline.
Is
we
made
pretty
clear:
we've
taken
very
clear
steps
with
one
group
We've
we're
be
pretty
far
along.
I
We
had
a
vote
a
few
about
a
month
or
so
ago
regarding
moving
forward
with
the
lease
with
the
James
Jensen
group,
so
we're
negotiating
that
now.
I
I
think
we
need
to
finish
that
process
and
and
get
into
a
lease
or
a
licensed
agreement
with
them,
particularly
for
the
grounds
and
and
the
coach
house,
and
from
there
I
think
we
can
have
a
real,
robust
discussion
about
what
happens
with
the
mansion
and
make
sure
that
that
pizza
is,
you
know
not
too
big
for
any
one
entity
to
take
on
I
I
I
also
think
that
a
nine
month
process
would
be
too
long.
I
I
You
know
if
it's
enough
money
combine
upsells
outside
funding
to
make
this
happen
from
other
units
of
government
or
grants
important
so
I'm,
I'm,
I,
guess
I,
say
all
that
to
say
that
I'm
really
pushing
I
really
support
what
I
think
council
member
Revell
is
is
also
expressing
support
for
which
is
moving
forward
with
the
rfei
I
guess.
My
caveat
is
specifically
for
the
mansion
with
a
clear
expectation
of
you
know
what
is
in
play
and
what
is
not
in
play.
I
Given,
what
I
think
the
indication
of
our
relationship
with
the
gin's
Jensen
Garden
group
will
be.
Thank
you.
BA
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
have
a
question
for
Cade
here.
Does
an
rfei
would
that
require
Harley
Clark
to
be
designated
as
a
historic
property.
BG
So
it
is
already
designated
locally
I
think
maybe
what
you're
referring
to
is
in
the
memo
we
talk
about,
registering
it
as
a
national
register.
Thank
you
for
knowing
what
I
mean
property.
It
doesn't
require
it.
BA
BG
So,
first
it's
it's
somewhat
complicated
if
the
city
would
want
to
retain
ownership
or
100
ownership,
It's
Complicated,
even
through
a
long-term
lease,
whether
you
can
access
these
incentives
or
not,
because
one
of
the
requirements
is
that
you're
in
income
producing
user,
a
tax
generating
use,
and
so
it
other
than
that
it
doesn't
put
any
stipulations
on
the
city.
What
it
would
put
stipulations
on
if
you
access
that
funding
is
you're
required
to
follow
the
secretary
interior
standards
for
the
treatment
of
historic
properties
to
accommodate
the
rehabilitation.
BG
So
there's
an
added
layer
of
regulatory
control
at
the
it's
the
federal
level,
but
facilitated
through
the
state.
BA
Thanks
yeah
I
guess
I'm
in
favor
of
moving
forward
with
this
process,
just
because
it'll
generate
some
ideas,
maybe
that
we
haven't
that
we
haven't
considered
before
and
that's
never
a
bad
thing
to
have
more
ideas,
I'm
sure
I'm,
not
the
only
one
on
the
the
only
one
on
the
council
who
is
kind
of
dreading
going
through
this
process.
Again
it'll
be
the
first
time
for
many
of
us,
the
second
or
third
time.
First,
maybe
fourth,
it's
I
just
want
to
get
this
done.
BA
I
want
to
make
a
decision
and
have
it
stick
regardless
of
what
that
decision
is
and
I
want
to
be
open
to
all
options
at
this
point
and
I'll
refer
to
our
as
yet
to
be
completed,
discussion
on
city
council
goals,
top
five
housing,
Equity,
Economic,
Development
and
finance.
The
list
goes
on
for
five
more
nowhere
on
that
list
is
Harley
Clark.
BA
Nowhere
on
that
list
is
preserving
an
old
house
on
the
lake
front
and
I,
just
I
think
we
need
to
keep
that
in
mind
as
we
go
through
this
process
and
make
sure
we
are
steering
our
our
our
attention
to
where
it
needs
to
be
focused
and
we're
the
masters
of
our
own
destiny
here,
calling
our
own
shots
and
not
just
reacting
to
a
situation
that
we
unfortunately
find
ourselves
in.
BA
So
let's
just
keep
our
our
eyes
on
our
our
overall
Community
objectives
as
we
go
through.
This
is
my
request
to
the
community
thanks.
BC
I'd
like
to
propose
another,
maybe
option
with
with
the
entities
that
responded
to
the
RFP
in
2020.
Could
we
possibly
Reach
Out?
Could
staff
reach
out
and
see
who
among
them
is
still
interested
and
and
if
they
are
interested,
provide
us
with
all
of
their
presentations
and
if
any
of
them
want
to
present
to
us
just
have
a
day
where
those
entities
present,
since
that
was
the
old
Council,
let
the
new
Council
you
know
hear.
What's
what's
already
been
submitted
and
then
we
rate
the
proposals
rather
than
doing
a
whole
new
RFP.
BC
A
legal
department
I'm
suggesting
that,
rather
than
do
a
whole
nother
RFP
that
we
just
reach
out
and
see
of
those
who
applied
buying
us
the
book
house,
obviously,
but
which
ones
are
still
interested
and
then
just
proceed
from
there.
BH
I
guess
it's
a
question
of
Luke
along
lines
with
Jonathan's
in
I,
mean
Civic
Center's,
still
falling
apart
service
center,
still
falling
apart
police
and
fire
headquarters
still
falling
apart.
How
are
we
going
to
prioritize
Harley
Clark
appropriately,
since
it
really
serves
no
City
function
in
all
three
of
those
buildings?
Do?
Is
there
an
a
lot
of
Staff
time
that's
been
put
into
this,
or
how
are
we
going
to
do?
This?
BH
BH
Well,
we
just
got
one
off
the
table.
We're
inviting
another
one
and
the
building
we're
in
right
now
is
like
literally
falling
apart.
The
service
center
falling
apart
police
are
fireworks
falling
apart.
How
can
we
do
this
and
get
something
done
with
Harley
Clark
and
still
like
prioritize
appropriately
with
the
actual,
like
City
functions,
that
we
are
expected
to
provide
and
Kate
I
love
working
with
you,
man,
so
I'm?
Not
that's
not
like
a
slam
on
YouTube
but
like
how
do
we
do
this
man
because
I
think?
Otherwise?
BH
BG
BG
Disposition
of
the
property
is
sale
of
the
property
which
would
leave
the
city
other
than
crafting
what
that
development
agenda
looks
like
and
what
what
easements
you
want
to
apply
to
it,
whether
it's
Public,
Access
easements
on
the
grounds
Etc
before
the
sale
happens,
preservation
easements
on
the
exterior
all
those
things
are
possible,
but
that
is
would
I
think
answer
your
question.
Maybe
that's
the
model
you
would
prefer,
and
that
is
the
most
expedient
in
common
okay.
Z
BH
Z
BH
BG
And
I
would
also
just
respond
to,
though
we
do
have
a
very
significant
offer
from
one
of
the
really
preeminent
National
preservation
organizations,
landmarks
Illinois
to
really
assist
us,
and
another
answer
to
your
question
would
be
to
lean
on
that
assistance.
Very
heavily
totally
I
mean
like,
but
somebody's.
BH
Got
to
come
with
money
right
like
at
the
end
of
the
day,
that's
they're,
going
to
help
us
find
an
entity
with
money.
To
do
this,
I
mean
that's
what
this
all
this
comes
down
to
money
and
the
money
that
we
need
to
spend
on
like
higher
priority
infrastructure
needs.
I
mean
we
gotta
like
we
just
can't
do
two
years
of
whatever
we
got
to
get
this
done
faster
man
and
I
know:
that's
not
like
your
fault,
but,
like
we've
got
to
get
out
of
this
dude,
we
can't
do
two.
BB
So
if
staff
can
fill
us
in
last
time,
we
had
had
this
process,
it
took
a
significant
amount
of
time
to
get
the
rfps
for
the
expressions
of
interest.
BB
Do
you
think
that,
maybe
in
four
months,
we
could
have
a
list
of
potential
projects
and
then
I
think
that's
when
we'd
kind
of
know
when
because
I
I
think
I'm
in
agreement
with
what
council
members
suffered
in
and
council
member
nuzma,
both
said
about
spending
a
lot
of
money,
I
think
looking
at
the
proposals
and
see
what
is
required
or
asked
of
the
city
in
that
partnership,
I
think
will
be
a
lot
more
clear
down
the
line.
BB
But
could
you
kind
of
fill
us
in
about
like
timing
as
far
as
receiving
these,
because
I
know
we
have
some
organizations
that
have
presented
in
the
past?
BB
I
would
like
to
see
the
old
presentations
if
staff
could
for
those
on,
but
I
would
also
think
it'd
be
fair
for
everyone
to
resubmit.
Considering
this
is
a
new
new
process
as
well.
BG
I
I
would
recommend
that
they
resubmit
through
this
new
process.
Really
one
of
the
primary
reasons
for
that
is
that
under
the
previous
RFP,
they
were
relatively
handicapped
by
what
they
were
able
to
propose
and
I
think
through
just
requiring
the
long-term
lease
as
the
solution.
It
also
limited
the
the
potential
funding
sources
and
the
potential
uses
that
they
could
have.
So
it's
entirely
possible
that
some
of
the
entities
that
proposed
previously
under
kind
of
a
new
understanding
of
what
the
rules
may
be,
it
could
have
even
more
successful
proposals.
BG
BF
Okay,
I
would
to
respond
a
bit
to
council
member
suffered
and
I
would
also
say,
though,
that
we
had
a
resounding
expression
of
support
from
the
broader
community
and
the
advisory
referendum
were
80
percent
voted.
Yes,
they
want
to
have
us
Save,
The
Mansion,
so
at
some
point
that
that
referendum
will
be
ancient
history,
but
I
think
it's
still
current
for
us.
We
have
had
renewed
expression
of
interest
from
all
of
the
entities
that
submitted
proposals
before
and
and
I
guess.
I
would
say
that,
yes,
they
may.
BF
We
would
want
to
have
an
updated
proposal
from
you
from
each
of
them
and
they
may
have
no
different,
broader
bigger
ideas
because
of
the
the
the
the
issues
that
we're
discussing
this
evening.
So
I
I
I
think
they're
they're
interested,
which
is
great,
and
if
we
can
issue
this
request
for
expressions
of
interest
and
see
if
there
are
elaborations
that
come
with
renewed
proposals
from
them
and
I
guess,
I
do
have
to
go
back
to
council
member
Reed.
BF
The
whole
Council
I
guess
did
approve
the
license
to
Jen's
Jensen,
but
the
direction
and
to
develop
a
lease
with
Jen's
Jensen
was
only
only
approved
at
the
npw
level.
So
the
whole
Council
has
not
really
agreed
yet
to
move
forward
with
a
long-term
lease
with
Jens,
Jensen
and
and
we've
had
at
least
one
of
the
groups
that
has
proposed
has
submitted.
BF
A
proposal
for
us
would
very
much
like
to
be
able
to
use
the
coach
house
as
well
as
the
Mansion,
so
I
I'm,
reluctant
to
preclude
the
use
of
the
whole
property.
A
It's
still
the
case
that
no
one's
asking
to
speak
for
the
first
time
so
council
member
Reed,
with
a
minute
20
left.
I
Thank
you.
Your
council
member
Reveal,
Your
recollection
is,
is
correct
that
the
whole
council
did
not
vote
to
approve
a
lease
with
the
jins
Jensen
group,
but
and
I.
Don't
remember
if
you're
one
of
the
folks,
but
and
not
that
this
is
binding.
That
me
making
a
suggestion
is
binding.
But
when
we
entered
into
the
the
phase
to
say,
let's,
let's
issue
a
temporary
lease
as
we're
working
out
permanent
long-term
agreements,
which
is
the
vote
that
this
body
took
a
few
weeks
ago.
I
I
encouraged
my
colleagues
to
all
of
us
here
that,
if
you
are
not
genuinely
interested
in
potentially
pursuing
a
long-term
lease
to
not
string
folks
along
and
I
I
believe
you
might
have
been
one
of
the
folks
or
some
other
folks
on
the
council.
Maybe
even
change
their
votes
after
that
or
suggested
that
they
might
change
their
votes
and
while
that's
not
binding,
it
certainly
is
I.
I
Think
it's
good
practice
for
us
to
generally
make
clear
our
intentions
to
folks
who
are
doing
business
with
the
city
as
to
not
create
confusion
and
potentially
a
a
bad
name
for
the
city
or
presenting
ourselves
as
difficult
or
confusing
to
work
with
and
I.
Think
so.
I
think
we've
made
clear
indication
I
think
it's
also
been
clear
that
a
project
with
both
the
the
Mansion,
the
Coach
House,
potentially
the
grounds
as
well.
I
It's
just
too
big
of
a
it's
like
having
again
Pizza
the
world's
largest
pizza
you're,
not
gonna,
it's
too
big
for
for
many
folks
to
handle.
We
saw
that
with
artist
book
house,
which
I
think
was
seemingly
a
very
well
connected
and
potentially
well
and
potentially
well-financed
group,
it's
just
hard
for
me
to
believe
that
there
are
many
groups
out
there
that
could
handle
this
big
of
a
project
and
I.
I
Think
our
best
course
of
action
would
be
to
pare
it
down
and
and
move
forward
with
and
when
I
say
pair
it
down
pair
it
down,
not
tear
it
down.
Because
there's
and
you
know
Pare.
Q
I
Time
is
up
all
right,
I
will
wrap
up
now
and
so
I
I
would
be
strongly
supportive
of
making
sure
that
we
we
move
forward
with
the
beliefs
that
we
are
already
engaged
in
negotiating
and
that
we
parse
this
project
up
into
smaller,
more
manageable
bites.
I
A
No
one's
asking
the
speaker
for
first
or
second
time,
so
we
go
back
to
third
cracks
to
council
member
Revell
with
15
seconds
left.
BF
Oh
dear
well,
I,
don't
recall
you're
saying
that
council
member
Reed,
so
that
was
not
in
my
mind
when
I
voted
for
the
license
for
Jen
Jensen
I
felt
it
was
important
for
Jen
Jensen
to
we
were
entering
the
growing
season.
It
was
important
for
them
to
be
able
to
work
on
the
grounds
and
oh,
so
that's
why
I
voted
yes,
but
I.
Definitely
I
like
councilmember
nusma's
metaphor
of
the
pizza,
the
whole
pizza
and
I
don't
want
to
give
away
a
slice
of
it
without
knowing
who
wants
the
whole.
The
bigger
part.
A
BF
Would
ask
so
yeah?
Can
we
make
them?
Can
I
make
a
motion
sure
then
I
move
that
we
direct
staff
to
prepare
a
request
for
expressions
of
interest
with
a
four-month
timeline
for
interested
parties
to
propose
something
for
us
and
that
it
include
the
whole
Harley
Clark
property.
A
Is
there
a
second
second
councilmember
Ravel
moves
that
we
direct
staff
to
prepare
a
request
for
expressions
of
interest
for
the
entire
property,
with
a
four-month
period
between
release
and
the
due
date
councilmember
new
Smith
seconds?
Is
there
any
discussion
customer
Reed
like
we'll
we'll
deal
with
people
whose
times
are
up
later,
but
we
go
back
first,
since
those
Peak
for
the
first
time
to
council
member
Kelly
with
four
minutes
and
15
seconds
left.
BC
Could
we
councilmember
Revell,
would
you
be
amenable
to
the
option
like
the
mansion
and
or
the
property
I
mean
since
we
do
have
currently
a
501c3?
That's
you
know,
handling
the
property
prepared
to
raise
the
funds
so
to
prob
to
give
that
as
an
option
awful
also
in
response.
BF
Yeah
I,
I'm,
yeah
I
think
we
would
be
interested
in
proposals,
some
that
might
use
just
the
Mansion.
Some
might
be
the
whole
property,
some
might
yeah.
So
no
I
I
think
we'd
be
interested
in.
BF
A
BF
A
To
be
clear,
when
you
said
the
whole
property,
you
didn't
mean
that
everyone
needs
to
make
a
submission
relative
to
the
whole
property.
It
meant
that
the
plot
of
land
available
for
potential
submissions
to
incorporate
would
not
be
exclusive
of
the
Coach
House
and
Gardens
Ms
Fox.
Oh
sorry,
director
Fox.
C
Thank
you,
I
did
just
want
to
also
make
sure
that
we
can
work
with
our
partners,
not
the
staff
doing
this
alone
that
we'll
work
with
so
they're
actually
going
to
have
the
bandwidth
to
attract
and
bring
in
people
or
organizations
that
we
haven't
even
contemplated,
and
one
of
the
things
that
can
be
very
common
with
the
property
of
this
size
and
scale.
Is
it
really
is
a
way
of?
C
You
can
sometimes
find
someone
who
can
bring
more
than
one
organization
in
as
part
of
a
much
broader
use
of
a
property
of
this
scale
and
that's
another
reason:
I
think
it's
really
beneficial
to
not
exclude
anything,
but
that
doesn't
preclude
any
organization
from
having
to
say
it
wants
to
try
to
take
on
the
whole
thing
it
can,
and
it
can
actually
form
a
much
broader
group
of
organizations
that
can
work
out
of
a
property.
BF
BF
A
BB
A
BC
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
any
like
why
we
wouldn't
want
to
just
reach
out
to
the
people,
who've
already
put
together
proposals
and
take
it
from
there
and
just
sort
of
pick
up
from
where
we
left
off,
or
the
council
left
off
in
20.
and
find
out
who's
still
interested
in
just
here.
Those
proposals,
as
opposed
to
just
opening
this
up
to
a
good.
You
know,
put
I,
don't
know
how
many
more,
but
it
just
sounds
like
it
could
get
really
long,
and
is
that?
Would
that
be
a
possibility?
BF
That
I
mean
we
have
received
emails
from
all
of
the
previous
applicants
expressing
interest
in
renewing
their
proposals,
updating
their
proposals,
whatever
so
I
and
I.
Think
there's
there's
the
potential
of
additional
resources
through
landmarks,
Illinois
and
new
ideas
that
might
be
spurred
by
this
memo.
So
I
I
think
we
want
to
give
people
a
chance
to
think
on
this
and
and
give
us
their
best
shot.
N
BD
Just
also
wanted
to
remind
the
council
that
if
the
goal
or
the
idea
is
to
begin
to
continue
to
consider
to
lease
the
property
city
ordinance
does
require,
at
least
over
20
years,
that
you
have
to
sort
of
give
notice
and
publication.
Give
an
opportunity
for
those
folks
who
wish
to
be
involved.
The
opportunity
to
bid
on
that
lease.
I
I
I
would
like
to
make
I'm
not
going
to
make
the
motion,
but
I
would
like
to
move
that
we
would
pair
this
down.
I
I
do
think
that
we
are
going
to
put
ourselves
we're
doing
the
same
thing
over
and
over
and
over
and
over
again
as
council
member
I'm,
really
bad
with
names
tonight,
I
don't
know.
What's
going
on
with
me,
I
can't
remember
when
our
resident
grave
beard
noted
this
evening.
I
This
may
be
the
fourth
time
that
you
know
you've
gone
through
this
process
in
your
time
on
the
console
and
every
time
we've
gone
through
this
process,
we've
said:
hey
here's
this
huge
property
along
the
lakefront
tell
us
what
you
can
do
with
it
and
folks
come
back
and
say:
well,
we
need
15
million
dollars
to
to
take
care
of
this
project.
We
need
10
million
dollars.
I
know
might
I
would
bring
it
to
a.
I
Z
I
Know
with
two
million
dollars
so
I
move
that
we
remove
the
the
grounds
and
the
coach
house
from
discussions
from
the
rfei
process
and
only
focus
on
the
mansion,
with
the
understanding
that
the
grounds
would
would
certainly
be
accessible
to
ever
leases
the
Mansion.
So.
A
BC
BF
Next
you're,
not
next,
but.
B
BJ
BI
A
Two
voting
in
favor
and
seven
voting
against
the
motion
fails.
So
this
brings
us
now
to
the
initial
motion
made
by
councilmember
Ravel
to
again
just
issue
an
rfe
I.
That
would
give
a
four-month
period
for
anyone,
including
the
previous
proposers,
to
make
expression
of
Interest
relative
to
any
portion
of
the
property.
I
Sorry
at
like,
do
you
I
think
a
three-month
period?
A
quarter
is
good
I,
don't
think
we
need,
especially
if
we're
going
to
drag
along
the
negotiations
that
we've
been
in
with
months
with
the
James
Jensen
group
I.
Think
three
months,
we're
going
to
have
Partners
from
outside
should
be
enough
to
get
proposals
back
and
and
move
forward
with
this.
A
A
The
motion
fails
for
lack
of
a
second
now
councilmember
Burns.
BD
Waiting
on
a
comments
and
red
lines,
back
from
the
lawyers
for
Jen
Jensen
group,
we
had
a
meeting
before
I
went
on
vacation
and
we
are
waiting
for
the
that
in
writing,
and
so
once
we
have
that
in
writing.
We
should
be
able
we'll
be
a
lot
closer.
BD
So
it
has
been
a
part
of
the
negotiations
to
discuss
making
it
accessible
to
whoever
has
access
to
the
house.
BD
BD
I
Well,
point
of
information
just
to
be
clear.
This
ends
that
process,
because,
if
we're
saying
that
you
know
they
cannot
lease
if.
A
BI
I
think
it's
important
when
we
send
out
the
whatever
what
is
it
called?
What
are
we
sending
out.
BJ
BI
That
we
clearly
communicate
that
we
are
negotiating,
at
least
if
we
still
are
I
I,
think
it
presents
it's
confusing
and
we
should
be
up
front
if
we
are
going
to
go
out
and
do
this
we
should.
We
should
make
it
clear
where
we
are
in
the
process
of
negotiating
this
other
agreement,
or
we
should
just
vote
on
that.
BD
Proposals
to
be
clear,
the
lease
agreement
being
negotiated
at
present
specifically
includes
the
Coach
House
and
renovation
of
it.
So
it
would
be
difficult
for
an
rfei
to
include
not
only
use
of
but
Renovations
at
the
Coach
House,
based
upon
where
we
are
currently
based
on
the
direction
of
the
apnw
committee
or
ampw
committee.
BI
AP
BI
Mean
as
long
as
that's
being
recognized
that
that
is
a
potential
conflict
to
negotiating
this
lease.
BD
And
I
certainly
understand
that
I
think
the
reality
is
that
whatever
group
submits
that
request
for
interest
or
requests
for
expression
of
interest,
and
they
may
they
may
include
that
as
part
of
their
their
expression
of
interest.
But
that
isn't
we're
not
the
city
council
isn't
necessarily
awarding
anything
quite
yet,
and
so
by
the
time
they
get
an
opportunity
to
review
those
expressions
of
Interest
the
lease
could
already.
BD
You
know
the
Coach
House
there
could
be
a
plan
in
place
for
the
coach
house,
so
you
know
a
project
plan
accepted
by
this
Council
as
part
of
a
lease
agreement
with
another
group.
BI
Because
I
guess,
the
question
is:
if
we
move
forward
in
this
way,
does
this
constitute
with
anybody
up
here
would
feel?
Is
a
good
faith
negotiations
and
I
see
Council
coming
smiling
like
to
me
this.
BI
If
I'm
on
the
other
side
of
this
I'm
saying
okay,
they're
blowing
us
off
and
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
sure,
that's
how
we
want
to
be
perceived
in
the
community,
so
I
do
think
it
would
be
better
if
we
correct
that
somehow
I'm
not
sure
how
but
I
think
we
should
have
corrected
and
do
it
tonight
if
we
are
going
to
move
forward
with
the
other
proposal.
A
I
Yes,
thank
you
and
again.
This
is
the
really
the
point
that
I'm
trying
to
highlight
if
we
move
forward
with
this,
we're
not
only
and
I'll
ask
a
question,
but
after
we
get
done
with
the
RF
EI,
we
still
have
to
go
through
the
full
process
of
actually
awarding
and
how
many
months
does
that
take,
and
so
what
we're
telling
the
Jensen
Garden
group
is
that
a
majority
of
this
body,
this
Council,
not
APW,
not
any
other
body.
I
Voting
yes
on
this
is
is
is,
is
is
going
back
on
the
clear
indication
that
a
majority
of
this
Council
gave
to
that
group
and
while
it
was
not
binding,
granted,
it's
just
bad
practice
for
our
city
to
do
that,
especially
with
residents
who
want
to
volunteer
their
time
to
make
our
community
a
better
place
with
no
profit
motive.
They're
not
going
to
make
a
dime
off
of
this,
and
and
so
I
would
just
I'm.
Unfortunately,
as
much
as
I
supported
this
and
I
thought
it
was.
I
You
know,
really
beautiful
suggestions
that
you
made
Kade
under
this
particular
Circ.
Under
these
circumstances,
I
have
to
vote
no
on
the
rfei,
because
I
think
it's
really
important
to
to
deal
with
one
matter
at
a
time,
especially
when
we're
talking
about
residents
who
are
volunteering
their
time
and
their
money
to
try
to
make
Evanston
better
with
no
profit
for
themselves
other
than
a
more
beautiful
Community.
I.
Think
that
would
be
unfortunate
for
us
to
move
forward
in
this
way,
all
right.
A
Okay,
councilmember
Harris,
with
four
minutes
and
40
seconds
left.
N
I
just
have
a
quick
question.
So
can
we
have
the
r
f
e
I
and
pull
out
the
coach
house
and
all
of
those
things
does
it
become
not
as
attractive
to
outside
people?
If
we
do
that.
A
Well,
just
to
just
to
back
up
so
that
was
the
motion
that
just
got
voted
down
right
and
so
the
I
think
the
question
before
this
body
is:
are
we
certain
Beyond
any
further
exploration
about
what
we
want
to
do
with
the
Coach
House
and
the
grounds
in
which
case
then
take
it
out
or
are
we
still
interested
in
hearing
all
the
options
before
making
a
long-term
decision,
in
which
case
keep
it
in
and,
as
you
can
tell
it's
different
people
have
different
opinions
up
here,
but
that's
that's
the
question
in
front
of
this
body.
I
And
point
of
order
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
councilmember
Harris
you're,
probably
you
know,
understand
the
rules
very
well,
but
to
make
sure
it's
clear
that,
yes,
that
motion
was
voted
down,
but
that
doesn't
preclude
that
motion
from
being
Revisited
during
this
meeting,
and
particularly
for
someone
who
voted
on
the
prevailing
side.
You'd
have
the
right
to
bring
that
back
and
there
may
be
a
change
of
opinions
amongst
folks.
Here.
BG
I
think
it
certainly
has
the
potential
to
make
it
less
attractive
to
somebody
I'm
not
going
to
say
that
it
that
it
will
or
wouldn't,
but
it's
certainly
complicates
the
presentation
of
the
property
if
we're
talking
about
leasing
a
small
component
of
it.
But
we're
also
saying
that
we're
entertaining
ideas
with
someone
might
purchase
the
property
from
the
city.
I
think
those
things
conflict
with
each
other.
A
So
now
the
clerk
please
take
the
role,
and
just
we
are
now
have
before
the
body
is
the
initial
motion
made
by
council
member
Revell,
because
if
I
recall
correctly,
none
of
the
Amendments
has
passed
is
that
correct,
Mr,
Cummings,
correct
councilmember,
Kelly.
I
A
There's
a
motion
on
Direction,
so
there's
a
so
I
guess,
there's
a
few
different
ways
to
answer
that
question.
The
answer
is
yes,
there
certainly
does
not
preclude
us
from
making
from
taking
any
votes
it.
Actually,
my
understanding
the
Oma
is,
it
doesn't
preclude
us
from
anything,
but
it's
been
I've
been
uncomfortable
with
the
idea
of
having
the
body
take
up
binding
vote
final
action
on
something
past
an
ordinance
pass.
A
The
resolution,
if
it's
marked
for
discussion
to
me
at
least
taking
a
vote
to
give
direction
to
staff,
is
a
very,
very
different
category,
but
if,
if
folks
folks,
don't
feel
comfortable
that
we
can
do
a
straw
poll
or
some
other
mechanism,
but
certainly
in
my
view,
taking
a
vote
that
says:
hey
here's
what
the
discussion
got
us
to
staff,
why
don't
you
go
bring
something
else
back
to
us
is
consistent
with
marking
the
item
on
the
agenda
for
discussion
and
I
should
have
said
no
words,
because
I
did
not
go
to
law
school
Mr
Cummings.
I
Point
of
information
or
point
of
something
order,
point
of
order
in
this
case
is
I,
just
want
to
remind
us
that
we
are
with
this
vote,
I
am
concerned
and
maybe
Council
comings.
You
can
answer
this
all
phrase.
There's
a
question
that,
with
this
vote,
we
are
undermining
action
that
was
taken
by
a
committee.
A
committee
voted,
a
standing
committee
of
the
council
voted
to
do
something
and
we
are
completely
undoing
the
work
of
a
standing
committee
without
having
you
know
going
through
the
proper
channels.
Do
you
believe
that
so.
BB
I
O
A
This
brings
us
to
the
consent
agenda.
I've
been
told
that
A6
should
be
removed
because
it
did
not
make
it
out
of
committee
and
so
will
not
be
receiving
a
vote.
This
evening,
a
seven
I've
been
told
should
be
removed
simply
to
allow
for
a
correction
to
be
made
a
council.
Are
there
other
items
that
members
would
like
to
see
removed
from
the
consent
agenda.
I
I
move
the
consent
agenda,
minus
the
items
that
were
removed,
which
are
A7
or
A6
a7a8,
a
P2

A
A
BH
BK
So
it's
more
of
the
temporary
that's
more
like
a
contracted
employee
because
of
you
know
no
benefits,
so
those
are
the
more
difficult
and
I
do
just
have
some
information
that
can
maybe
help
with
you
know
the
numbers
and
all
of
that,
so
you
kind
of
know
what
we're
looking
at.
So
initially
when
we
wrote
the
money,
the
the
request
back
in
May
of
2021,
we
asked
for
200
000
only
85
000
of
that
was
related
to
Staffing
and
not
full-time,
so
that
was
more
part-time,
seasonal
employees.
BK
But
when
you
look
at
the
numbers,
our
need
for
an
Outreach
worker
is
really
to
provide
some
additional
support
for
our
restorative
justice
program,
which
we're
averaging
now
three
referrals
a
month
from
our
complaint
tickets
for
my
Evanston
Police
Department,
which
is
up
from
about
1.67
request
prior
to
now,
and
then
our
client
referrals
are
up
53
percent
and
that's
an
average
of
27
clients
a
month
now
we're
seeing
51
clients
a
month
and
those
are
specifically
tied
to
our
Outreach
workers.
BK
As
far
as
employee
assistance
request,
we
are
206
percent
from
Seven
a
month
to
34
per
month,
and
then
our
housing
and
rent
assistance
request
are
up
63,
where
we
used
to
have
an
average
of
about
five
close
to
five
we're
at
eight
per
month.
So
our
numbers
are
increasing
significantly
and
a
lot
of
that's
based
on
much
of
our
work
in
the
community
centers.
BK
You
know
when
we
first
wrote
this:
the
the
money
for
arpa
the
request
for
arpa
we
weren't
looking
at
having
I
mean
we
wanted
drop-in
centers
and
if
you
look
at
that
request,
there's
only
about
a
hundred
and
ninety
thousand
dollars.
That
really
relates
to
the
community
centers,
but
Robert
Crown.
We
have
Outreach
there
seven
days
a
week
and
it
gives
Morrison.
BK
BK
Initially,
when
we
wrote
this
grant,
we
we
thought
hey.
We
need
more
money
for
the
18
to
24
year
olds,
but,
as
you
all
can
see,
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
we're
having
to
do
in
our
middle
schools,
and
so
we
do
three.
We
do
three
groups
a
week
in
our
middle
schools.
In
addition
to
that,
we've
hired
three
eths
employees
to
staff
to
help
staff,
our
our
drop-in
centers
and
that's
a
part
of
this.
BK
You
know
just
on
Dodge
and
Dempster,
not
at
Robert
Crown,
but
I'm
gonna
have
to
have
Outreach
at
the
lakefront
this
this
season,
in
addition
to
our
entire,
my
city
or
city,
our
city
initiative,
which
you
all
know,
starts
next
Friday.
Actually
it
starts
this
week
and
you
can
all
come
out
to
an
ice
cream,
social
on
Friday,
okay,.
BH
BK
It
does
not
at
the
time
we're
looking
to
take
that
that
money
from
the
Human
Services
fund
and
then
come
back
to
council
and
when
we
look
at
the
budget.
BK
I
Thank
you.
Where,
generally
your
department
or
these
positions
are
funded
out
of
the
general
fund,.
I
BK
I
I
All
I
I
think
this
is
very
worthwhile,
given
some
of
the
data
that
you
provided
I
do
wish,
and
this
is
likely
a
this
is
a
global
problem,
but
I
do
wish.
There
were
ways
to
better
quantify
the
efficacy
of
the
outreach
program.
I
know,
that's,
you
know
almost
an
impossible
task.
How
do
you
tell
what
didn't
happen
in
some
regards,
but
I
would
just
love
that
to
be
something
that
you
know
the
team,
particularly
going
into
next
year
into
next
budget
season.
I
If
we
can
figure
out
better
ways,
you
know
to
track
the
efficacy
of
of
the
Outreach
team,
because
I
think
they
do
really
important
work
and
I
think
we
need
to
be
able
to
tell
that
story
of
what
they
do
and
I
think
we
need
to
be
able
to
tell
that
story
with
with
data,
if
possible.
So
I
would
just
love
to
think
about
that
over
the
next
few
months.
I
BC
Thank
you
so
yeah
I
think
in
principle
this
sounds
sounds
okay,
so,
but
we're
down
one
right,
one
position
and
I'm
wondering
if
it
wouldn't
be
making
more
sense
to
assess
the
situation
when
that
position
is
filled.
I.
BK
Think
if
you
look
at
the
numbers,
even
filling
that
position
really
won't
I
mean
it
would
it's
going
to
help?
Definitely,
but
you
know,
I
have
workers
who
have
over
time
every
single
pay
period,
and
so
I
think
that
this,
given
what
we're
going
to
be
up
against
for
the
summer,
we
need
an
additional
person
to
help
with
all
of
that.
BK
A
BK
N
I
just
wanted
to
bring
some
attention
to
the
school
I
found
it
very
interesting.
People
moved
into
town
and
heard
the
stories
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
was
one
of
the
students
that
got
moved
from
the
original
King
lab
and
that
was
very
traumatic
to
us
to
the
point
that
I
totally
remember
the
day
in
which
they
told
us,
they
were
closing
the
school
and
I.
Think
it's
important
and
I
think.
N
N
Everybody
in
my
group
class
of
87
were
like
we're.
Gonna
move
back
to
Evanston
when
they
heard
I
was
running
for
second
war
they're
like
removed
bats,
like
you
can't
afford
to
stay
there.
It's
okay,
K-8
are
families,
they
create
families
and
I.
Think
it's
just
really
important.
I
know
it's
a
big
number
of
students,
but
we
have
to
bring
Community
back
to
Evanston,
and
this
would
be
one
of
the
places
in
which
we
would
do
that.
N
I
Yes,
thank
you
have
a
few
questions
for
staff
earlier
it
was
mentioned
that
this
project
is
receiving.
You
know
some
Grand
number
of
major
variances.
Can
you
briefly
discuss
some
of
those?
You
know
major
variances
and
also
within
that
context,
I
believe
there
and
and
please
upon
on
this.
There
have
been
discussions
about
just
the
terminology
that
we
use
around
major
variances,
and
sometimes
things
aren't
quite
major,
but
under
our
ordinance
it
is
classified
as
a
major
variance.
So
can
you
talk
about
both
of
those.
BL
Happy
to
good
evening
Liz,
Williams
planning
manager,
so
the
relief
requested
with
this
project.
There
are
four
variations
being
requested.
The
first
is
a
floor
area
ratio
of
0.62,
where
a
maximum
of
0.15
is
permitted
proposed
height
of
three
stories
at
55
feet
where
2.5
stories
or
35
feet
is
the
maximum.
BL
This
lot
is
unique
in
the
sense
that
it
has
two
street
frontages,
so
the
second
or
the
next
two
are
related
to
that.
So
the
third
is
that
open
parking
is
located
within
the
front
yard,
where
it's
not
currently
permitted
and
then
loading
areas
located
within
the
front
yard,
where
they're
typically
not
permitted,
and
then
the
size
of
the
loading
area
they're
proposing.
BL
That
to
be
located
within
a
dry
vial,
so
it's
not
meeting
the
required
depth.
So
those
are
the
five
variations
being
requested.
I
And
can
you
talk
a
bit
about
our
classification
of
major
variances
and,
and
some
of
the
you
know,
maybe
thoughts
that
either
you
or
the
team
or
someone
has
had
regarding
our
classification
of
you
know,
Major
versus
maybe
some
other
term.
That's
not
thought
up
yet.
BL
So
I
guess
we
have
currently
within
our
city
code
minor
variations
which
typically
are
an
administrative
request.
There
are
major
variations
that
require,
or
that
are
allowed
to
be
approved
by
the
city's
land
use
Commission,
and
then
there
are
variations
that
require
city
council
approval.
So
in
this
case
the
height
is
triggering.
You
know,
city
council,
action
on
this
particular
one.
I
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
and
I'll
just
add
a
council
member
former
council
member
Holmes
pointed
out
just
the
you
know
how
important
this
move
is
that
we're
creating
a
school
in
the
Fifth
Ward
I
know
some
people
are
saying:
well,
this
vote
isn't
necessarily
about
creating
the
school
but
in
it
is,
and
so
maybe
I
will
also
ask
to
the
The
District
staff.
I
Who
is
here,
if
you
all
can
answer
this
I
suppose,
there's
a
reason
that
this
school
is
the
size
that
it
is
and
that
they're
you
know
going
to
be
900.
Students
here
or,
however,
I'm
sorry,
maybe
I'm
wrong
on
the
number.
But
there
will
be
you
know
a
large
number
of
students
here
and
maybe
the
largest
school
in
the
district.
Can
you
explain
why
that
decision
was
made
and
if
you
were
to
you
know,
shave
off,
you
know
a
third
or
half
of
the
building.
I
Would
it
be
feasible
to
to
do
this
project
and
to
build
the
school
in
the
Fifth
Ward.
BM
Good
evening
Council,
my
name
is
Sarita
Smith
I'm,
the
director
of
student
assignments
at
District
65,
and
has
been
facilitating
this
process
now
for
probably
two
and
a
half
years,
so
the.
Why
is
because
it's
well
overdue,
both
from
a
Justice
standpoint,
but
also
we
are
transporting
over
700
kids
out
of
the
Fifth
Ward
every
day
to
go
to
multiple
schools
across
our
district.
Financially.
That
burden
is
pretty
heavy
on
the
district,
when
we
could
essentially
reallocate
that
money
for
our
kids
to
have
a
walkable
school,
we
did
a
year-long
student
assignment.
Progress.
BM
Excuse
me
process
last
year
to
think
about
walkability
of
schools
in
general
for
all
of
our
students,
and
then
Fifth
Ward
obviously
came
up
yet
again,
and
this
is
not
obviously
the
first
time
our
district
has
heard
about
the
Fifth
Ward
school
from
the
community
members
that
have
been
fighting
for
the
the
building
or
bringing
back
that
school
to
their
their
Ward.
So
that's
the
kind
of
why
behind
it,
but
it
wasn't
just
the
project
was
not
just
about
Fifth
Ward.
BM
It
was
about
all
of
our
schools
being
walkable
in
all
of
our
districts
and
all
or
excuse
me
all
of
our
Awards,
so
number
wise
again.
Fifth
Ward
is
pretty
dense.
If
you
have
never
lived
there
and
or
have
driven
through
there,
it
is
a
dense
population
similar
to
eighth
and
Ninth
Wards,
and
so
the
number
of
students
in
the
school
is
really
based
on
how
many
we
could
possibly
hold
based
on
the
numbers
that
we
have
run.
We
think
about
700
kids
are
actually
going
to
be
at
the
school.
BM
We
are
building
it,
though,
because
I
mean
there's
some
development
happening
in
the
fifth
War.
We
have
to
plan
for
the
future,
so
we
do
not
want
to
build
a
school
that
can
only
hold
700
kids.
We
need
a
little
bit
of
Elbow
Room
and
we
I
mean
some
time
and
space
to
grow
and
I.
Think
to
a
council
member
Harris's
point.
BM
The
K-8
was
really
important
on
rebuilding
and
re-establishing
the
community
in
the
Fifth
Ward,
similar
to
what
was
at
King
King
laboratory,
laboratory
school
and
as
well
as
Foster
school,
which
I
believe
was
k-6
at
the
time.
So
we
are
really
trying
to
re-establish
what
we
have,
unfortunately,
taken
away
from
the
Fifth
Ward,
but
do
it
in
a
way
that
can
also
allow
us
to
flex
and
grow
given
kind
of
the
development
as
The
Fifth
Ward
is
continuously
growing.
So.
BJ
Rafael
Buffet
CFO
District
65..
What
did
we
do?
We
just
would
not
be
reasonable
if
you
look
at
the
demographics
of
the
Fifth
Ward,
we
actually
hired
demographer,
who
looked
at
our
current
Trend
in
population
growth
in
the
fifth
war,
and
also
looking
looking
forward.
If,
if
one
is
actually
one
of
the
areas
in
this
city,
that's
projected
to
keep
growing.
So
if
we
were
to
build
a
school
with
just
400,
500
kids,
there
spend
all
their
money
in
a
couple
of
years.
BJ
We
would
need
something
bigger,
so
it
makes
sense
to
plan
for
what
we
see
based
on
demography,
that
we
would
need
going
forward
instead
of
building
something
now
for
it
to
be
too
small.
BN
We
want
to
be
honest
when
we
think
about
those
transition
from
fifth
grade
to
sixth
grade
like
if
we
can
eliminate
the
transition
time
it
gives
our
students
a
better
advantage
to
be
adapted
to
the
community
in
the
school
that
they're
serving
in
so
I
wanted
to
also
add,
like
one
of
the
reasons
to
be
able
to
maintain
and
design
it.
It
helps
with
getting
our
students,
stand
on
track
and
keeping
those
relationships
that
are
so
critical
for
them
to
be
successful
in
school.
Thank.
I
You
I
appreciate
that,
and
so
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
it
seems
as
though
it
wouldn't
be
feasible,
or
you
know,
financially
responsible
for
the
district
to
Pare
down
the
size
of
the
the
school
by
by
really
anything
or
by
much,
and
so
with
that.
I
It
actually
leads
me
back
to
believing
that
yes,
voting
for
this
is
voting
for
the
Fifth
Ward
school
and
I
certainly
heard
the
concerns
of
you,
know,
folks,
adjacent
to
the
to
the
properties
or
to
the
to
the
proposed
school,
and
if
the,
if
those
concerns
could
genuinely
be
addressed,
I
think
they
would
be.
I
But
what
I
did
hear
from
folks?
Everyone
unanimously,
even
the
folks
who
are
opposed
to
the
scale-
and
you
know
various
things:
I'm,
not
a
fan
of
the
parking
lot
being
visible
from
the
street.
Myself
was
just
thinking
about
City
design,
but
without
these
without
the
project
and
a
similar
form
to
what
it
is
now
as
presented
to
us,
it
seems
like
it
wouldn't
be
feasible,
and
so
it's
I
think
the
yes
vote
today
is
a
vote
for
Fifth
Ward
school
I
encourage
folks
to
vote.
I
Yes
I
too
I
didn't
obviously
go
to
King
lab,
but
I
grew
up
in
the
Fifth
Ward
I
was
one
of
those
folks
who's
waiting
out,
as
councilmember
Holmes
said,
on
the
bus
during
rain,
sleet,
snow
and
and
all
kinds
of
weather
events
that
we'll
likely
talk
about
later
with
Fair
work
week.
And
it's
it's
it's
about
time
and
there's
a
public
health
concern.
I
Director
ogbo
isn't
here,
but
you
know
just
encouraging
folks
to
both
parents
and
Young
Folks
to
walk
more,
had
pays
dividends,
health-wise
down
down
the
line
and
so
I'm
supportive
of
the
school
for
a
whole
host
of
reasons
and
really
even
more
supportive.
Now
that
last
meeting
council
member
Revell
brought
up
the
concern
about,
you
know
us
being
able
to
save
a
few
trees
as
well
and
make
the
project
a
little
more
beautiful,
and
so
all
around
really
excited
about
this
I'm
sure
my
time
is
very
close
to
expiring.
A
Council
member
helicaris,
followed
by
Newsome,
followed
by
parents.
BB
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
all
the
hard
work
that
Dr
Horton
and
his
staff
and
the
school
boards
done
to
get
this
to
be
to
the
Finish
Line
right
here,
I'm
very
happy
that
I
could
do
a
little
small
thing
and
vote
Yes
and
get
this
done.
I
just
want
to
also
say
that
this
applaud
you
for
figuring
out
the
the
way
to
do
this
by
eliminating
the
transportation
with
the
busing
was
a
really
like
Innovative
way
to
get
the
financing
done
and
make
this
a
possibility
and
I
just
want
to.
BA
BM
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question
so
and
phase
one.
We
decided
that
we
needed
to
close
a
school.
The
school
best
option
for
us
was
Betsy
Rhodes,
because
one
is
not
a
neighborhood
school,
so
we
have
Walker
directly
across
the
street.
I,
don't
know
who
built
the
schools,
but
there's
like
three
of
schools
right
like
two
blocks
away
from
each
other
so
and
so
taking
Betsy
Rhodes
the
building
and
physically,
not
occupying
that
anymore,
came
up
to
the
surface
one.
BM
For
that
reason,
walkability
of
the
students
in
that
area
too,
because
the
37
percent
of
those
students
already
live
in
the
Fifth
Ward,
which
is
a
decent
percentage
of
of
their
population
and
three
our
Master
facilities
plan,
showed
that
that,
in
order
to
fix
the
school's
deficits,
was
about
half
of
the
cost
of
rebuilding
it.
So
for
those
reason
we
were
like
it
makes
sense
that
Betsy
Rose
with
the
physical
building
would
close.
BM
However,
they
have
gone
through
several
iterations
and
transitions
in
the
last
like
10
years,
and
it
would
do
a
lot
of
harm
to
those
families.
To
just
say,
sorry,
you
got
to
go
back
to
your
home
school
and
we
have
no
options
for
you,
given
that
a
lot
of
that
pers,
the
percentage
of
those
families,
particularly
our
our
families,
in
the
Tui
program,
which
is
our
two-way
immersion
program,
already
live
in
the
Fifth
Ward,
and
we
knew
based
on
numbers
of
fifth
War
residents.
BM
At
least
almost
100
of
them
will
qualify
for
the
Twee
program
that
it
made
sense
just
to
move
the
full
population.
Now.
What
we
don't
know
is
how
those
families
will
choose,
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
iteration
we're
going
through
now
having
a
program
process
to
then
go
talk
to
families
like
here
your
options
on
what
gets
to
happen
next
and
based
on
just
some
some
kind
of
raw
analysis.
We
think
only
about
200
will
go
again:
37
in
the
OR
37
of
those
being
students
that
already
reside
in
the
Fifth
Ward.
BA
BM
We're
kind
of
in
the
process
of
figuring
that
out
now,
knowing
the
building
constraints
was
really
helpful
right
like
if
we
could
build
it
five
stories,
we
could
have
all
kinds
of
things
right.
Knowing
the
constraints
is
helping
us
move
into
some
conversations
with
our
Betsy
Rose
communities
and
families
that
we
haven't
done
yet
so
kind
of
the
constraints
then
inform
what
we
can
actually
do
in
the
building.
So
we're
kind
of
figuring.
BA
BN
Well,
specifically,
I'll
cover
the
Betsy
Road
situation,
since
the
design
of
the
building
has
pretty
much
changed.
The
conversation
has
shifted
with
the
sap
Community
sap
committee
and
some
of
the
things
that's
happening,
that
more
than
likely
there's
a
chance
to
actually
have
the
program
serviced
more
into
a
tweet
program
with
two
years
from
now.
BN
If
it
opens
I
mean
our
students,
they'll,
be
in
eighth
grade
by
that
time,
so
they'll
be
there'll,
be
a
population
of
students
that
are
eighth
graders
that
were
that
were
at
Betsy
roads
that
will
be
able
to
either
a
go
back
to
their
neighborhood
community
or
come
over
to
the
new
school.
That's
open
and
be
a
part
of
that
first
class
that
comes
out
of
the
Fifth
Ward
school.
So
right
now,
if
I
was
predicting
something
I
know
I'm
transitioning
out
more
than
likely.
BN
What's
going
to
happen
is
that
it's
going
to
potentially
transition
to
more
of
a
twee
program
like
it
does
at
our
other
campuses
versus
it
being
a
single
school,
but
Serena
was
trying
to
be
safe
and
not
have
that
conversation
in
here,
but
to
be
honest
and
full
transparency,
that's
been
the
discussion
in
the
direction.
It
has
been
leading
right
now
so
yep,
so
the
number
wise
it
will
still
it'll,
still
be
700-ish
with
both
schools
combined
because
we've
also
heard
from
families.
BN
BJ
BI
Yeah
so
I
think
it
is
I've
listened
to
you
know
mostly
residents
or
property
owners
in
the
immediate
area
who
have
concerns
I
think
you
know
some
legitimate
concerns.
BI
I've
met
with
them
101
we
invited
I'm,
Elizabeth
Williams,
who
who
is
here
today
to
a
Hill,
Arts
business
district
meeting
and
had
a
really
good
discussion
about
some
of
the
issues
and
since
then,
I've
had
a
chance
to
talk
to
City
staff
about
some
of
the
concerns
and
would
be
willing
to
move
for
a
hold
today
on
this,
if
I,
realistically,
if
I
felt
that
it
was
realistic
that
anything
would
come
of
it.
BI
Unfortunately
it
as
historic
as
this
project
is
and
I
know
we
all
supported
it
comes
with
some.
You
know
inherent
challenges
because
of
the
limited
development
site
and
that
won't
change,
and
so
it
may
feel
like
a
simple
enough
to
decision
to
say
why
not
move
the
parking.
You
know
the
the
bus
drop
off
area
and
pickup
area
to
you
know
Foster
instead
of
Simpson,
but
Simpson
from
what
staff
is
saying
and
it
makes
sense
is
a
is
a
larger
Street.
BI
If
you're
going
to
have
big
buses
at
the
pulling
up
to
the
site
and
picking
people
off,
you
probably
want
it
on
Simpson,
larger
street,
it's
not
cutting
through
a
residential
area,
there's
more
Residential
Properties
on
Foster
and
on
Dewey
and
on
Ashland
there.
It
is
that
it
is
on
Simpson
it's
already.
It
was
a
truck
truck
route.
BI
You
know,
one
of
my
early
on
in
my
term
worked
to
make
sure
that
not
only
that
street
but
others
in
the
area
were
taking
off
a
truck
route,
so
we
wouldn't
encourage
trucks
to
to
utilize
it,
but
it
is
a
a
route
that
is
is
frequently
used
by
trucks
and,
and
so
that
was
one
of
the
the
questions
is
you
know
why
not
look
at
at
Ashland
and
and
Foster
for
a
bus
drop
off
instead
of
Simpson.
BI
There
was
another
question
about
reorienting
the
facility
and
having
the
building
basically
having
the
L
on
Ashland
and
then
a
part
of
it
closer
to
Fleetwood
back
behind
Fleetwood
again
very
early
in
in
this
discussion.
I
think
it
was
staff's
opinion
for
the
most
part
that
you
create
as
much
space
between
the
structures
as
possible
to
really
try
to
open
this
space
up
and
make
it
more
functional.
BI
You
know
and
there's
a
few
others
too,
but
I'm
not
and
and
I,
don't
know
if
there's
any
community
members
that
are
still
in
the
car
that
yeah
but
I,
I
I.
Think
if
I
think
councilmember
Reed
mentioned
this,
that
if
there
was
a
if
there
was
an
opportunity
to
address
the
concerns,
I
think
I
will
be
prepared
to
do
that.
But
in
talking
to
staff
I'm,
not
sure
that
there's
there's
a
way
to
address
it
and
I
I
think
my
questions
are
much
more
about.
How
do
we?
BI
What
is
the
district's
commitment
to
reducing
the
need
for
busing
at
the
Fifth
Ward
School
Long,
Term
I.
Think
that
aligns
with
the
sap
process
that
I
had
the
the
you
know
good
fortune
to
being
a
part
of,
and
so
you
spoke
about
it
a
little
bit.
But
if
you
could
talk
about
ways
where
we
might
be
able
to
reduce
the
need
for
busing
long
term
in
order
to
try
to
reduce
the
need
for
buses
on
Simpson
or
you
know,
wherever
we
end
up
living
yeah.
BM
BM
So
if
you
could
imagine
how
many
buses
that
is
already
coming
out
of
very
tight
small
streets,
preferably
probably
Simpson
happening
twice
a
day
every
day,
right,
Monday
through
Friday,
so
we
are
talking
about
reducing
it
to
what
our
our
policy
actually
requires,
which
is,
if
you
have
to
cross
a
major
road
which
we
incap
and
kind
of
snug
The,
Fifth
Ward
boundary
around
McCormick
and
Green
Bay
and
church
or
yeah
Church.
BM
So
it
you
don't
have
to
cross
a
major
road
right
so
that
eliminates
that
need
the
only
other
two
are,
if
you
know,
there's
a
major
space
that
we
have
to
have
a
crossing
guard
for
which
we
are
obviously
planning
to
do
that
and
then,
if
there's
IEP
Services
requiring
busing
that
we
cannot
eliminate,
that
is,
is
the
law.
So,
if
a
if
a
student
is
unable
to
walk
to
school
and
it
is
written
in
their
IEP,
we
will
have
to
provide
using
for
that.
BM
So
the
only
other
reason
we
would
do
it
at
this
point,
which
kind
of
leads
to
the
question
about
the
school
within
the
school
model
is
if
we
we
are
busing
for
Bessie,
Rhodes
and
or
for
bilingual
services,
and
so
to
your
point
like.
Maybe
this
isn't
a
long-term
process.
Maybe
we
kind
of
gradually
get
people
in
there
and
then,
after
that,
we
know
that
the
school
will
have
the
bilingual
Services
needed
for
the
students
in
the
Fifth
Ward.
Therefore,
reducing
busting
pretty
dramatically
and.
BJ
I
just
want
to
stay
from
a
pillar
for
National
standpoint.
If
you
remember
how
the
the
district
is
funding
the
payment
of
the
lease
certificate
which
is
used
to
build
the
building,
we
need
to
save
money
on
Transportation.
So
it's
a
new
Financial
incentive
for
us
to
limit
the
amount
of
buses
that
we
would
send
to
the
school
in
order
to
be
able
to
make
the
funding
work.
So
they're,
they're,
critical
reasons,
financial
reasons.
Why
we'll
need
to
limit
bus
it
to
the
area.
BI
And
is
is
Mike
Rivera
director
Rivera
on
the
line
I
know
he
was.
BI
Mike
just
wanted
to
see
if
you
could
speak
to
some
of
the
the
parking
discussions
we've
been
having
about
Hill
Arts
in
particular
and
I
know.
We
haven't
officially
engaged
with
I
think
it's
WGI,
but
if
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we've
been
working
on
there
and
and
and
and
the
engagement
that
we're,
you
know
what
we're
going
to
work
with
WGI
on
to
help
address
some
of
the
parks
and
congestion
issues.
BO
Sure
I
can
do
that
so
for
the
better
half
of
approximately
will
be
two
years
in
November
we've
been
meeting
with
stakeholders
from
the
community,
local
businesses,
new
businesses
proposed
businesses
and
residents
alike,
trying
to
address
some
of
the
parking
concerns.
BO
The
concerns
that
we
currently
have
is
transient
parking
for
new
businesses
like
Rex's
Place,
the
soul,
Smoke
Barbecue
the
brewery,
and
then
we're
we've
been
having
a
large
challenge
with
trying
to
find
long-term
parking
for
commuters
that
are
coming
either
Evanston
residents
or
commuting
to
Evanston
to
work
for
some
of
the
roofing
companies
and
and
some
of
the
other
businesses
that
I
already
mentioned,
as
well
throughout
the
day,
while
trying
to
satisfy
the
need
of
residents
that
if
they
move
their
car
within
certain
hours
of
the
day,
then
they
can't
secure
parking
again
in
proximity
to
their
homes,
because
they've
been
consumed
either
by
patrons
that
are
businesses
or
you
know,
long-term
employees
for
the
day.
BO
So
these
are
some
things
we've
talked
about.
We've
tried
to
make
some
changes.
We've
tried
to
gather
some
data
and
then
we
are
currently
talking
with
WGI,
which
is
the
want
Man
Group
Inc
that
helped
us
prepare
a
parking
study
for
the
City
of
Bones
and
approximately
within
the
last
year,
and
we
are
proposing
to
perhaps
bring
them
in
to
do
some
more
work
for
us
in
that
Fifth
Ward,
Hill,
Arts
area.
BI
And
the
Hill
Arts
area
is
is
just
North
of
the
proposed
location
for
the
Fifth
Ward
school,
which
is
why
I
wanted
to
bring
it
up
that
the
city
is
committed
to
to
figuring
out
how
to
provide
some
much
needed
parking
relief
in
that
area.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
say,
is
I
know
folks
had
a
concern
about
Fleetwood
Jordan
losing
parking,
because
a
lot
that
serves
Fleetwood
would
now
be
used
by
the
school
and
just
to
make
sure
it's
clear.
BI
The
school
actually
owns
that
property
now,
so
that's
not
a
city-owned,
a
city
on
parcel,
and
what
I've
said
is
that
it
is
my
understanding,
anecdotally,
of
course,
that
during
the
day
and
and
I
should
also
say
that
that
I
believe
the
district
has
agreed
to
allow
the
city
to
use
25
stalls,
25
stalls,
I,
think
people
feel
like
it's
still
a
loss,
because
the
the
district
is
going
to
need
still
need
what
they
need
80
to
90
stalls,
whatever
it
is
on
top
of
the
needs
of
of
the
of
the
city.
BI
What
I've
said
is
during
the
day,
which
is
when
the
school
operates.
There's
not
that
many
vehicles
in
the
Fleetwood
parking
lot.
It's
what
I
know
to
be
true.
Anecdotally
I
live
right.
There
I
can
see
it
for
my
now
my
balcony,
but
see
it
when
I
walk
around,
but
can
I
get
a
confirmation
of
that
in
some
way,
maybe
by
director
Thompson?
Perhaps
it's
it's.
BI
It
seems
like
there's
always
like
maybe
two
or
three
vehicles
in
that
parking
lot
during
the
day
and
most
of
the
utilization
is
after
school
hours
and
on
the
weekends
when
the
space
is
rented
out,
but
can
I
get
any
response
to
that
by
director,
Thompson
and
she's
with
us.
BI
BP
Members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
Laura
Biggs
I'm,
the
city
engineer,
I,
don't
have
the
exact
numbers
of
how
much
parking
is
used
during
fluid
Jordan's
daytime
operations.
However,
the
bulk
of
the
need
is
in
the
after
school
period
in
the
evening
and
when
they
have
events.
So
there
are
a
few
events
that
happen
during
the
day.
There's
a
senior
club
that
meets
periodically
there's,
never
enough
parking
for
those
types
of
events,
and
that
will
be
true
in
some
respects
when
the
school
holds
similar
types
of
events.
BP
However,
the
school
has
indicated
that,
outside
of
their
normal
operating
day
that
in
the
evening
that
they're
willing
to
open
up
their
parking
lot
to
Fleetwood
Jordan
to
use
whatever
parking
is
available
and
so
I
think.
A
big
piece
of
this
is
the
partnership
and
cooperation,
and
so
that's
what
right
now
we
have
an
intent
to
a
letter
of
intent
to
negotiate
the
parking
with
some
minimum
constraints.
BN
Also
been
in
conversations
with
Family,
Focus
and
they're
doing
renovations,
you
know
the
generous
and
the
nice
funding
you
all
have
given
them
they're
starting
to
do
some
work,
but
with
the
parking
situation
we've
had
conversations
that
we
would
be
willing
to
support
getting
that
done
so
that
there
will
be
ample
parking
spaces
also
during
the
day,
not
a
full
commitment
to
say
how
many
but
there's
definitely
discussion,
and
they
want
to
be
a
great
partner
with
us.
BI
Thank
you,
and
it's
also
I'll
be
supporting
this
today.
BI
What
I
would
like
to
work
with
staff
on
is:
is
we've
had
one
business
district
in
particular,
but
also
community
members
and
business
owners
in
the
immediate
area
around
the
school
dedicate
a
lot
of
time
towards
kind
of
registering
their
concerns
in
writing
and
and
I
would
ask
that
that
that
staff
respond
as
best
they
can
to
each
concern,
and
we
started
to
do
a
little
bit
of
that
in
in
the
automatic
library,
but
as
I
Was,
preparing
finishing
up
preparing
for
this
meeting,
but
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
appropriate
to
because
they
registered
their
concerns
in
writing.
BI
I
think
we
should
respond
to
them
in
writing
as
best
we
can
and
and
I
will
commit
to
to
doing
that.
But
I
want
the
community
members
to
know,
especially
those
who
may
still
be
on
the
call
today
that
we've
put
a
lot
of
time
into
those
concerns
and
I'm.
Just
not
convinced
at
this
point
that
there's
a
better
option
than
what
is
proposed,
but
I
think
the
district
is
committed
to
continuing
to
work
with
the
city
to
to
address
concerns.
BI
As
as
as
opportunities
are,
you
know
come
available
and
and
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
are
for
quite
a
while
now
we've
been
working
on,
you
know
relieving
the
parking
adjustment
issue
in
that
area
generally
and
the
the
parking
coverage
area
is
not
just
the
Hill
Arts,
but
it
goes
all
the
way
to
Emerson
I
think
we
expanded
the
scope
of
that
engagement
to
include
Emerson.
So
we're
not
done
thinking
about
how
to
address
parking
in
that
area
and
I'll
leave
it
with
that.
Thank
you,
chair.
BJ
A
You,
council,
member
Kelly,.
BC
BI
BI
The
request
was
made
to
accommodate
the
way
I
understand
in
the
email,
children
that
play
in
the
alley,
and
they
I
mean
we
all
have
played
in
the
alley
before,
but
they
probably
shouldn't
be
playing
an
Ali.
A
better
place
for
kids
is
probably
in
the
front
on
The,
Lawns
and
and
in
the
park.
That's
a
stone,
throw
away
from
that
area,
so
I
think
also
just
it.
Z
BP
So
that
was
a
question
that
was
asked
at
land
use
commission,
and
we
did
indicate
that
we
would
work
to
see
if
that
was
feasible.
But
as
we
looked
at
traffic
circulation
in
the
area,
we
became
concerned
that
essentially
that
parking
lot
itself
would
become
a
cut
through
and
people
would
be
driving
down
Dewey
or
through
the
parking
lot
down
the
alley
that
actually
connecting
wouldn't
necessarily
solve
the
problems
that
were
being
raised.
BP
It's
also
a
little
bit
problematic
in
that
Family
Focus
has
not
yet
been
brought
into
the
conversation,
and
it
is
technically
their
parking
lot.
So
this
is
something
that
I
think
we're
willing
to
consider
the
traffic
in
the
area
and
work
to
towards
the
best
decisions,
as
we
continue
to
work
with
the
school
district.
But
I
don't
want
to
promise
that
we
would
do
that
connection,
because
I
think
that
there's
some
real
problems
with
it
as
well.
Potential
challenges.
I
B
Council
member
suffered
and
has
officially
left
the
meeting.
Okay.
A
Please
remove
customers

from
the

This
brings
us
to
item
hs1
council
member
headaches,
which
occur
to
make
a
motion
on
item
hs1.
BN
BB
Make
a
motion
to
on
Ordinance
one
zero,
twenty
three
amending
the
city
code
and
creating
section
322,
retail,
single
use,
bag
tax

plastic

ban.

A

passage

1-0-23

seconds:
we
become
the
council
member
Revel,
followed
by
read.
BF
Well,
we've
learned
from
a
collective
resource
that
apparently
they're
they
their
m-source
Compost
Facility
is
no
longer
accepting
certain
types
of
compostable
bags
and
therefore
we
should
amend
our
proposed
bag
ordinance
to
redefine
compostable
bag,
to
allow
for
a
more
flexible,
more
flexibility,
depending
on
what
the
compost
facilities
actually
accept
and
so
I
move
to
amend
that
our
definition
of
compostable
bag.
BF
That's
currently
in
our
ordinance
in
front
of
us
to
delete
the
definition,
that's
currently
in
the
in
the
ordinance,
as
was
printed
in
the
packet
and
substituted
to
say
any
certified
compostable
bag
that
is
accepted
in
City
offered
or
city-sponsored
compost,
programs.
I
A
Councilmember
Revell
moves
to
amend
the
compostable
bag
definition
as
just
described
council
member
Reed
seconds
council
member
I.
You
I
think
it's
not
a
breach
of
confidence
to
say
that
you
emailed
me
the
text
of
this
earlier
and
the
day
I.
BA
A
And
but
everyone
else
has
one
at
least:
everyone
else
has
one
yeah,
excellent
news:
Okay.
So
there's
several
people
in
line
to
speak
or
any
of
them
in
line
to
speak
about
the
amendment
or.
A
B
A
Voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
amended
council
member
Reed.
I
Yes,
well
I
appreciate
that
motion
councilman
Revell
and
to
Erlene
Howard
for
Collective
resource
collectively
for
bringing
this
to
our
our
attention.
I
I
think
this
is
a
this
is
a
we'll
see
in
two
seconds.
I
have
every
belief
that
this
will
pass,
but
this
is
important
for
Evanston.
It
is
us
moving
forward
with
our
our
our
values,
our
belief
in
carp
and
it's
a
small
step,
but
it's
a
good
first
step
and
so
I
think
this
is
something
for
us
to
be
excited
about.
Certainly,
there's
more
to
do
and
there's
some
things
to
clean
up
and
I.
Think.
I
Last
time
we
were
here,
I
had
a
few
folks
say
that
they
would
be
willing
to
co-sponsor
a
trailer
bill.
That
would,
you
know,
look
at
other
single-use
Plastics
in
accordance
with
our
carp
goals
and
if
anybody
wants
to
raise
their
hand
and
remind
me
of
who
that
was
so,
I
can
put
you
down
as
a
co-sponsor
for
that
before
Thursday
feel
free
to,
but
also
you
know,
one
thing
that
I
am
not
super
excited
about
in
this
and
that
I
really
would
like
to
see
amended
in
that
trailer
bill.
I
Is
the
fact
that
you
know
we
have
good
language
in
here
that
both
councilmember
newsman
Revel
put
forward?
I
You
know
excluding
well
not
my
favorite
language,
but
it's
solid
language,
excluding
businesses
under
10,
000
square
feet,
I
think
that
definition
is
a
bit
too
broad
because
it
encompasses
you
know:
businesses
like
7-Eleven,
like
I,
think
councilmember
newsman
noted
one
of
the
CVS's
downtown
may
not
be
covered
by
this
ordinance,
so
I
think
we
can.
I
We
can
achieve
some
correction
with
with
more
time
and
more
thought
on
how
to
exclude
specifically
or
how
to
include
in
the
in
this
ordinance
those
businesses
specifically
without
including
some
of
our
smaller
businesses,
who
are
in
many
regard
implementing
some
of
these
practices
on
their
own
so
really
excited
we're
moving
forward
with
this
really
looking
forward
to
the
cleanup,
Bill
and
moving
further
along
with
our
carb
goal.
So
I
appreciate
this
Council
for
moving
through
this
tough
process.
B
I
A
I
N
Good
evening,
I
am
being
bombarded
by
second
ward
of
my
residence.
AK
N
I
I,
just
I'll
be
very
brief.
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone,
I
think
you
know
the
staff
and
my
colleagues
for
really
approaching
this.
This
ordinance
with
with
with
with
open
eyes
and
willingness
to
really
hear
the
concerns
of
many
communities,
both
the
business
Community
and
you
know,
particularly
our
hospitals
and
other
groups-
we've
Incorporated
a
lot
of
the
feedback
that
we
saw
reasonable
into
this
ordinance
and
we're
I
believe
really
in
a
good
place
here
to
move
forward
with
this.
I
I
I
forget
their
exact
range,
so
really
looking
forward
to
to
that
process
as
well-
and
this
is
another
really
important
step
for
Evanston
in
making
Evanston
a
more
desirable
Place
to
to
work
and
raise
families
and
really
recognizing
you
know
everything
that
goes
into
being
an
employee
here,
making
sure
we're
providing
essential
protections
for
those
employees.
So
thank
you.
BA
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I
I,
share
similar
concerns
to
the
second
ward
council.
Member
I
have
received
a
lot
of
communication
on
this,
which
puts
me
in
a
position
of
not
being
able
to
support
it
at
this
point.
If
it
were
to
move
forward,
I
would
want
landscaping,
companies
to
be
removed
and
I
think
moving
the
limit
on
the
number
of
employees
up
from
10
to
I'll,
say
a
100,
because
that's
mere
Chicago's
ordinance
that
should
be
part
of
it.
Even
with
those
changes.
BA
I
am
not
I'm
not
ready
to
support
this
tonight.
I'm,
not
sure
IT
addresses
a
need
that
has
been
expressed
by
by
stakeholders
I'm
concerned
about
the
administrative
burden
not
only
on
businesses
but
on
the
city
and
I'm
concerned
about
unintended
consequences.
Things
that
we
can't
imagine
happening
as
a
result
of
this
yeah.
So
maybe
my
mind
would
be
in
a
different
place
in
in
a
couple
years,
but
I'm
not
ready
to
move
this
one
forward
tonight.
BF
Well,
we've
received
a
very
compelling
letter
from
some
of
our
Landscaping
businesses,
making
I
think
a
very
good
argument
for
excluding
them
from
the
ordinance
and
so
I
move
to
strike.
BF
A
Council
member
Revell
moves
that
the
item
five
landscape
Services
be
struck
from
the
covered
industry
portion
of
the
definitions
again,
I
hope,
I'm,
not
confidence
that
you
communicated
this
request
to
me
earlier
today.
So
I
have
this
prepared
in
writing.
If
you
would
like
me
to
forward
it
to
the
council
that.
A
BF
I
BF
Well,
I
would
also
like
to
amend
the
size
of
the
employee.
BF
Yes,
there
thank
you,
so
I
I
would
move
to
amend
the
definition
of
covered
employer
to
replace
both
places
where
it
says
the
number
15
and
substitute
the
number
100.
A
Councilmember
Revell
moves
to
increase
the
employee
threshold
from
15
to
100
council
member
win
seconds.
Once
again,
would
you
like
to
email
this
to
all
of
council
all
right?
Let
me
give
me
one
second
here:
it
is.
A
So
we've
heard
that
motion
and
second
so
on
the
motion
to
amend
council
member
Reed.
Yes,.
Z
I
Know
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
these
changes
will
help
you
get
to
yes
and
so
and
I
think
I'm
here
and
I
know.
That's
not
the
case
for
everybody
up
here,
but.
I
Earlier
it
was
mentioned
in
the
meeting
by
my
wonderful
colleague
in
the
First
Ward
that
we
have
folks
when
we
were
discussing
Margarita
and
folks
who
don't
advocate
for
themselves.
Those
are
exact
words
that
came
out
of
the
council
member's
mouth
and
I.
Agree
with
that.
There
are
certain
segments
of
our
population
that
do
not
engage
with
the
city
council.
They
don't
come
reaching
out
to
us
when
they
have
issues,
because
it's
not
a
part
of
you
know
it's,
it's
not
a
it's.
I
It's
not
a
standard
action,
particularly
for
disenfranchised
folks
to
take,
and
so
I
know.
You
know
there
were
there's
a
letter
sent
to
us.
That
said,
hey
I
did
some
foying
I
didn't
see.
Emails
from
you
know
disenfranchised
workers
saying
hey:
this
is
what
I
want
that
that
one?
That's
not
the
case.
I
I've
received
communication
with,
with
with
a
worker
who
represented
other
workers
and
I've
spoken
with
tons
of
folks
throughout
the
community
and
I'm
sure
you
know
some
of
us
all
of
us
as
council
members,
you
walk
into
a
business,
and
quite
often
you
know,
particularly
in
your
ward,
a
business
owner
will
recognize
you
and
it'll.
You
know
say:
hey
council,
member,
Revell,
Harris,
whoever
it
is
when
I
walk
into
businesses.
I
It's
workers
who
know
who
I
am
and
thank
me
for
the
service
and
and
it's
because
we,
you
know
I,
think
most
of
us
here
are
a
bit
separated
from
you
know
the
the
demographic
that
tends
to
work
in
our
you
know:
retail
settings
particularly
you
know
it's
usually
not,
although,
unfortunately,
because
of
our
economy,
more
and
more,
it
is
becoming.
I
You
know
40
50
60
year
olds,
who
are
working
in
some
of
these
settings,
but
it
tends
to
be
younger
folks
folks
who
don't
vote
in
our
Municipal
elections
again
folks,
who
don't
engage
with
us,
and
these
are
the
folks
that
I'm
having
conversations
with
and
young
parents
who
are
suffering
from
this
from
a
lack
of
clarity
about
their
schedule,
and
so,
while
there
may
not
have
been
folks
reaching
out
to
you
on
the
opposite
side
of
this,
saying
that,
yes,
we
need
this.
I
How
many
folks
that
live
in
the
margarita
and
how
many
homeless
folks
in
our
community
reached
out
to
you
about
Marguerite,
Inn
I
would
guarantee
it's
zero
because
they
that's
not
what
disenfranchised
people
do.
Unfortunately,
in
our
current
system
and
so
I
I
would
love
for
us
to
use
that
same
logic
here
to
understand
that
District
franchise
workers
are
not
going
to
be
the
ones
who
are
reaching
out
to
us.
In
fact,
one
of
the
workers
that
I
spoke
to
that
Allison
and
I
had
email,
Allison,
lepsker
and
I.
I
Had
email
correspondents
with
didn't
even
want
to
come
before
the
council
to
express
their
concern
because
they
are
worried
about
potential
retaliation
from
their
employer.
There
is
a
huge
imbalance
here.
There
are
people
who
want
this.
There
are
people
who
support
this
I,
hear
it
when
I
walk
into
Trader,
Joe's
I
hear
it
when
I
walk
in
to
Target
and
other
businesses.
People
out
there
need
this
and
want
this
and
want
us
to
look
out
for
them.
They
just
aren't
engaging
the
same
way
that
we
are
used
to,
and
so.
A
I
Yes,
I
will
end
here
and
say
you
know:
let's
get
this
done,
we're
making
some
important
amendments
here
that
councilmember
valve
is
putting
forward.
We
need
to
make
sure
that,
especially
with
those
amendments
that
we're
passing
this
and
we're
looking
out
for
the
folks
who
are
least
proximate
to
power,
so
thank
you
would.
A
The
clerk
please
take
the
role
in
the
amendment
to
oh.
Do
you
want
to
speak
to
the
amendment
council,
member
okay?
Will
the
clerk
please
take
the
role
on
the
amendment
to
increase
the
employee
threshold
from
15
to
100.
council.
A
BC
Thank
you.
I
also
have
similar
concerns.
I
I
agree
with.
You
know
your
comments,
that's
why
I
you
know
that's
why
I
advocated
on
behalf
of
the
residence
of
the
margarita,
Inn
and
I
will
continue
to
do
so,
and
I
will
submit
amendments
wasn't
prepared
with
that,
because
I
knew
I
couldn't
hold
it,
but
thank
you.
I
will
continue
to
do
that,
but
in
this
case
I
think
there
are.
You
know,
I'm
really
glad
about
amending
this
to
a
hundred.
AW
BC
I
still
think
they're
also
more
unintended
consequences
that
need
to
be
reviewed.
I
know
like
with
the
Mather
where
they
have
where
it
would
require
the
Mather
to
wait
to
fill
shifts.
BC
BC
That's
why
I
just
think
that
there's-
and
this
is
what
I
asked
for
last
time
too
I
I
would
like
to
see
this
held
over,
so
that
we
could
ensure
that
everybody's,
so
that
we're
you
know
exempting
removing
the
groups
that
we
really
need
to
remove,
so
that
we're
not
impacting
patients
or
or
or
folks
in
care
facilities,
as
well
as
the
facilities
themselves,
by
having
to
hire
additional
Administration
and
and
potentially
not
get
positions
filled
when
they
need
them
when,
when
their
staff
is
working
around
the
clock
and
yet
they
can't
just
fill
it
because
they
have
to
wait
to
find
out
if
a
current
employee
is
going
to
fill
another
shift
when
they're
all
already
burnt
out
anyway,
I
just
I
think
there's
more
Outreach.
BC
A
And
I'm
sorry
I
messed
up
the
order.
Councilmember
Burns.
Z
BI
No
more
amendments
on
the
floor,
I,
the
one
thing
that
I
ask
is
and
I
know
this
happens
all
the
time
in
politics,
where
a
special
interest
group
speaks
before
our
body
requests.
That
amendments
be
made
and
then
is
depending
on.
If
they
have
relationships
connections
whatever
it
is,
then
you
know
we.
You
know
that
body
May,
acquiesce
I,
think
the
issue
with
that
is
without
I.
BI
I
can't
follow
a
fact:
pattern
that
led
to
us
deciding
to
exclude
the
industries
that
we
have
and
so
I
think
at
the
very
least,
we
owe
it
in
writing
to
the
community
to
justify
why
we
excluded
the
healthcare
industry
as
well
as
now
the
lawn
care
industry,
because
it's
not
fair,
it's
not
fair
to
the
next
industry
that
comes
up
and
says,
okay.
Well,
why
not
exclude
me,
like
anybody,
can
can
register
that.
A
Complaint
so
can
I
answer
that
question
council
member,
please
and-
and
you
know,
I'm
not
saying
it's
right
or
wrong,
but
I
think
I
think
the
initially
introduced
ordinance
was
really
ambitious.
It
didn't
just
say:
let's
look
at
what
other
places
have
done.
It
said:
let's
go
well
beyond
and
I
think
there's
some
folks
up
here
who
are
eager
to
do
that
and
others
who
still
feel
that
this
is
kind
of
an
experimental
idea.
A
Let's
start
with
things
that
are
being
done
in
other
communities
and
so
the
changes
that
were
all
made,
they
all
Mir,
they
all
bring
us
back
in
line
with
what
the
places
that
have
tried.
This
are
doing,
and
some
of
those
ordinances
have
been
in
place
now
for
two
three
four
years
and
and
so
I
think
that
that's
what
gave
people
some
comfort.
BI
No
and
I
can't
understand
that
and
I
think
it
is
I,
think
it's
a
quick
way
for
folks
to
make
decisions.
But,
as
I
said
the
day,
we
voted
on
whether
or
not
to
exclude
the
I
think
it
was
the
child
care
industry
that
I
wasn't
prepared
to
vote
on
it
because,
just
because
another
city
didn't
do
it
doesn't
mean
there's
many
things
that
this
particular
city
does
in
particular
that
other
cities
would
not.
You
know
that
would
not
consider
at
all.
So
that's
not
enough
information
for
me
and
and
honestly
I.
BI
BI
I'd
like
to
have
an
answer
for
them
other
than
well
Chicago:
didn't
do
it
I,
don't
think
that's
sufficient
and
so
I
think
during
this
time,
I'm
happy
to
support
this,
but
I
just
think
it's
important
for
us
to
really
sit
down
whether
it's
our
policy
coordinator,
organizing
to
do
this
with
the
sponsoring
or
referring
council
members,
but
just
trying
to
sit
down
now.
BI
You
know
once
we
pass
this
to
understand
why
exactly
we
Exempted
the
industries
that
we
did
develop
a
standard
that
we
can
apply
to
other
situations,
I
think
that
is
really
important
but
again
happy
to
support
it.
I,
just
I,
don't
want
us
to
get
in
the
habit
of
just
voting
on
things,
because
you
know
people
register
their
complaints
at
the
last
hour
or
because
another
city
did
it
I
think
that's
going
to
limit
how
far
we
can
go
as
a
city
and
that's
all
true.
Thank
you.
BB
Just
a
point
of
information
for
council
member
Kelly,
we
spoke
I
personally
spoke
with
folks
from
the
Mather
and
three
crowns
and
they
were
at
the
meeting
Human
Services
meeting
and
we
discussed
also
with
director
ogbo
because
they
are
considered
Health
Care,
based
on
like
the
long-term
care
that
they
provide
for
some
of
their
residents.
And
there
was
a
discussion
around
that
and
they're
exempt
from
this.
So.
A
Sorry,
so
all
right,
so
no
one
is
asking
to
speak
for
a
first
time,
so
councilmember
burns
with
three
minutes
left.
BI
And
the
only
other
thing
is
too
is
I
feel
like
we.
We
do
a
lot
of
important
things
in
the
city.
We
do
an
okay
job
of
communicating
that,
on
the
front
end
come
out.
You
know,
participate
in
this
award
meeting
where
we'll
discuss
it
and
Etc
I.
BI
Think
after
we
pass
things,
we
need
to
also
educate
people
about
what
was
passed
because
we're
all
probably
going
to
hear
from
from
you
know
the
business
community
in
particular
who's
going
to
be,
you
know,
frustrated
or
support
whatever
it
is,
let's
go
back
to
them
and
say:
hey
here's.
What
we
passed
with
all
the
Amendments
and
I
don't
know
if
email
is
the
best
way
to
do
that.
BI
I
know
it's
it's
the
fastest
and
cheapest
way
to
do
it,
but
I
think
you
know
we
need
to
find
a
way
to
to
notice
people
and
I.
Don't
know
what
that
looks
like
we
could
talk
about
that
offline,
but
I
think
that's
really
important,
because
there's
so
much
there's
so
many
things
that
we
do
as
a
city
that
the
public
is
not
aware
of
and
they'll
bring
it
up
in
conversation,
they'll,
say:
oh
yeah,
well,
I
think
you
should
be
doing
this
and
it's
like
well.
BI
We
actually
passed
something
a
week
ago
or
months
ago
and
we're
not
going
to
get
everybody,
but
certainly
there
we're
not
gonna
We're
Not
Gonna
reach
everybody,
but
I,
don't
I
think
we
can
reach
a
bit
further
than
we
are
now
to
make
sure
people
are
following
along
with
us
on
the
Journey
of
legislating
and
and
getting
things
done.
So
that's
another
request
that
I
will
put
out
to
staff
to
this
body
to
try
to
work,
to
figure
out
how
to
how
to
do
that,
and
especially
so
we
can
celebrate
it
like
we
passed.
BI
You
know
we
even
the
fifth
fourth
school
that
we
just
you
know
that
we
just
passed
that
I
think
the
district
representatives
are
really
excited.
We
barely
clapped
it's
hard
to
get
joy
out
of
this
job.
Sometimes
because
we're
always
like
in
the
trenches
and
trying
to
navigate
people
who
are
typically
on
kind
of
different
ends
of
an
issue,
but
it's
also
as
a
way
where
we
can
celebrate
what
was
done.
Look
we
passed
this
plastic
bag
band
or
whatever
it
is
that
we
feel
good
about
and
here's.
Why
and
that's
all.
BI
A
No
one
is
asking
to
speak
for
a
first
time.
So
again
we
go
to
now
councilmember
Harris,
with
440
left.
N
I
won't
take
all
of
that
at
I
would
amend
what
councilmember
Byrne
said
that
we
have
those
discussions
in
front
of
not
after
the
fact,
we've
amended
this
so
many
times
and
I
think
we're
in
a
potential
good
legislation,
but
we
amended
it
because
a
child
care
worker
was
here
for
Street
naming
and
we
just
have.
He
just
happened
to
say
what
who
are
you
talking
about
health
care
and
I?
Don't
like
that
kind
of
work
where
again,
people
are
popping
up
and
it's
kind
of
oops.
We
didn't
think
about
that.
N
N
We
are
coming
out
of
a
pandemic
and
we're
making
all
of
these
decisions
and
rules
and
taxes
for
our
businesses,
who
have
not
had
the
opportunity
they're
walking,
they're
starting
from
crawling
and
they're
walking
and
I
just
want
us
to
pay
attention
to
that
and
have
a
little
more
data
on
who
does
this
effect
before
not
after
we
pass
it
and
then
say:
okay,
let
me
explain
it.
I
can't
do
that.
I
can't
do
that
well,
but
to
say
this
is
what
we
need
to
do.
N
This
is
why
we're
doing
it,
can
you
get
yourselves
ready,
but
we've
caught
three
or
four
things
just
by
happenstance
and
it
again
it
doesn't
bode
well
for
the
second
ward,
because
that's
all
my
landscapers,
that's
Valley,
that's
the
daycare.
Those
were
all
second
ward,
businesses
and
residents.
So
thank
you.
A
Continuing
on
second
cracks,
council
member
yeah,
councilmember
headaches
with
425
left.
BB
Just
to
piggyback
off
what
council
member
Byrne
said:
if
people
want
to
read
my
meeting
Recaps,
you
can
catch
them
on
Facebook,
usually
a
day
or
two
after
the
meeting,
but
it
is
something
that
I
try
to
editorialize,
at
least
the
things
that
we
take.
A
vote
on
have
a
debate,
but
there
are
things
that
fall
through
the
cracks
and
we
should
all
probably
do
a
better
job
of
like
celebrating
the
things
even
that
pass
and
consent
consent
agenda
that
are
important.
That
kind
of
flinder
the
radar,
but.
BA
You
Mr
Mayor.
There
is
a
way
for
me
to
get
to
yes
on
this,
but
not
tonight
for
me
to
get
the
yes
is
going
to
take
a
more
robust
recovery
from
our
post
covid
economic
situation
that
impacts
businesses,
not
only
in
the
fourth
ward,
but
throughout
Evanston
we're
investing
a
lot
of
time
and
a
lot
of
money
in
Evanston
thrives.
You
know
with
the
specific
intention
of
inviting
businesses
to
Evanston,
inviting
customers
to
Evanston
to
patronize
those
businesses.
BA
That's
really
important,
I
think
it's
really
important
to
all
of
us
and
I.
Don't
think
now
is
the
right
time
to
impose
this
burden
on
on
our
local
businesses
is
they're
still
trying
to
get
back
to
where
we
need
them
to
be.
So
if
this
were
to
come
back
in
a
couple
years,
I
would
have
hopefully
a
different
perspective
at
that
time.
BA
BC
Thank
you
I
again,
I'm
glad
to
hear
I'm.
Sorry,
I
missed
that
about
the
care
facilities
being
exempt,
so
are.
Is
there
what's
difference
between
than
ours
in
Chicago
like
what
are
some
of
the?
Is
there
anything
that
stands
out
or
in
terms
of
groups
that
are
Exempted
I,
just
don't
want
to
miss
any
others.
That's
my
main
concern,
because
each
it
seems
like
every
couple
weeks.
Some
other
group,
two
council
member
Harris's
Point
groups,
keep
popping
up
when
we
find
out
that
that's
going
to
be,
you
know
disproportionately
harmful
thanks.
BQ
The
main
difference
is
our
restaurants
are
at
200
instead
of
250
for
exemptions
in
practice
that
actually
isn't
much
of
a
a
difference,
because
we've
got
sort
of
a
big
jump.
There
aren't
a
lot
of
restaurants
that
we
have
that
are
like
225,
so
in
practice,
that's
not
really
different
and
then
with
the
Amendments
that
we've
made
we're
pretty
much
in
line
with
Chicago
in
terms
of
the
the
sectors
that
are
that
are
included.
BQ
BC
This
no
I'm
supportive
of
it
as
long
as
I
just
want
to
I
want
to
sort
of
flush
out
who
could
be?
You
know
what
could
have
neg
an
unexpected
negative
impact
that
we
wouldn't
want
that
you
might
not
want
either
that
we
just
don't.
We
haven't
seen
yet
so
I'm,
not
sure
if
there'd
be
a
negative
impact
but
I'm
thinking.
If
we
had
a
huge
commercial
venue
in
the
heart
of
our
town,
I
mean.
Why
would
we.
BC
BQ
Think
at
this
I
think
at
this
point
in
the
in
the
game.
Considering
the
like,
you
said
all
the
Amendments
that
are
flying
around
I,
think
that
would
be
a
great
referral
in
the
future.
BQ
Z
BQ
Think
it's
20,
20.
I
think
it's
been
since
2020
and
then
they've
got
some
Provisions
that
are
actually
about
to
kick
in
because
of
the
emergency
that
executive
order
for
the
pandemic,
so
their
like
health
care
and
stuff.
That's
about
to
kick
in
for
them.
So
if
that's
been
in
their
ordinance,
but
they
haven't
been
enforcing
it.
Okay,.
BQ
Exactly
we've
got
I,
don't
know
what
other
cities
yeah
like
Emeryville
in
California
has
a
really
good
one.
Berkeley
just
passed
a
really
a
progressive
one.
Philadelphia
has
one
essentially
with
our
amendments,
we're
very
much
in
line.
I
would
say
that
you
know
Berkeley's
going
real
far
and
maybe
one
day
we'll
get
there,
and
maybe
one
day
we
won't,
but
right
now
we're
kind
of
in
the
middle
of
all
of
them
right.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate.
BC
A
No
one
is
requesting
to
speak
for
a
second
time.
The
only
person
requesting
to
speak
for
a
third
time
is
council.
Member
read
your
time
is
up.
Someone
asks.
I
You
very
very
briefly
very
brief,
because
I
could
see
the
faces
of
my
colleagues
and
I.
Don't
want
to
change
any
yeses
to
a
no,
but
I
do
want
to
very
quickly.
I
was
going
to
mention
the
thing
long-term
care
that
was
important.
You
councilmember
Kelly,
maybe
you
can
get
to
a
yes
here.
I
also
would
just
say
that
council,
member
Burns,
we
discussed
this
Allison
and
I
and
staff,
and
mayor
biss
and
others
have
discussed
the
information.
Chicago
has
a
really
good.
I
You
know
kind
of
informational,
worksheet
that
sure
or
pamphlet
that
shows
how
their
Ordinance
Works
ours
is
fairly
similar
to
theirs.
Now,
especially
with
these
amendments,
so
you
know
something
similar
can
be
developed.
I
think
it
makes
it
Crystal
Clear
how
their
Ordinance,
Works
theirs
is
actually
I
think
a
bit
more
complex
than
ours,
because
it's
you
know,
it's
I
think
that,
like
Choose,
Your,
Own
Adventure
kind
of
depending
on
how
many
employees
you
have,
but
so
that
is
something
that's
important
and
then
also
just.
I
Lastly,
you
know
for
my
colleagues
to
councilmember
Harris.
You
know
you
said
your
concern
was
you
know
the
Landscaping
businesses?
Well,
today
we
removed
that
child
care.
We
removed
that
and
then
for
the
you
know,
for
Valley
and
for
the
larger
Grocers
during
the
pandemic.
You
know
all
of
the
data
shows
from
I
think
you
can
look
it
up
in
Pew.
Maybe
it
wasn't
p,
no,
not
Pew,
but
there's.
There
are
lots
of
reasons.
