A
B
B
C
We
have
a
quorum
present
and
are
prepared
to
do
our
work.
The
first
item
on
our
agenda
is
my
public
announcements
and
proclamations
of
which
I
have
none.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
city
manager's
public
announcements.
D
E
Good
evening,
Mr
Mayor
members
of
the
city
council
I,
do
need
a
PowerPoint
to
be
projected
onto
our
city
council
chamber
screen.
E
Okay,
thank
you,
members
of
the
city
council.
The
last
few
months
really
have.
Let
me
take
that
back.
The
last
few
years
have
really
brought
this
1989
song
to
mind
and
forgive
me
because
you'll
have
this
kind
of
ear
worm
in
your
head
for
the
next
five
minutes
as
I
present,
and
if
you,
if
you
don't
know
the
reference
I'm
going
to
ask
Anderson
to
play
the
song
right
now
on
on
the
overhead,
but
there's
been
a
series
of
headlines
of
businesses
closing
in
Evanston
and
it
hasn't
felt
good.
E
There's
been
anxious,
emails
and
conversations
social
media
posts
some
directly
to
me.
What
is
your
plan?
Businesses
need
financial
help,
provide
us
with
your
action
plan.
E
I
think
I
skipped
one.
No,
here's
a
quote
from
a
public
comment
in
a
newspaper
with
my
name
spelled
incorrectly,
but
that's
okay,
it's
a
hard
name.
We're
moving
to
Wilmette
Evanston
is
a
city
of
transience
there's
a
lot
of
negative
feelings
right
now
in
the
community,
and
we
have
to
address
it.
Serious
we
have
to.
We
have
to
listen.
E
E
The
trend
numbers
are
actually,
we
have
a
declining
vacancy
rate,
declining
availability
rate
availability
rate
by
the
way
is
something
we'll
talk
about
on
Wednesday
night
at
Economic,
Development
Committee,
I'll
dive
deep
into
some
of
this
data,
retail
Market,
believe
it
or
not,
downtown
Evanston
retail
vacancy
is
only
10
percent.
E
Again
it
comes
down
to
the
availability
rate.
There
are
some
vacant
spaces
that
are
actually
leased.
I'll
give
you
an
example:
Panera
Bread
has
been
leased
for
years.
It's
been
vacant
two
months
left
on
that
lease.
That
space
will
become
available,
I'm
asking
for
a
collective
breath
or
let's
breathe,
and
and
let's
just
work
together
to
figure
out
a
solution.
This
is
happening
nationally.
New,
York,
Times
headline
read
this
article.
E
This
is
a
story
about
San
Francisco,
downtown
offices
are
empty,
cranes,
shows
Chicago,
La,
Houston,
New
York,
where
and
I
consider
us
in
the
Chicago
Market
return
to
office.
We
are
only
at
40
percent.
It's
going
to
take
time.
We
are
not
alone.
E
The
U.S
Chamber
of
Commerce
is
talking
about
the
great
reshuffle
and
how
the
remote
work
world
has
changed
the
game.
It's
a
great
study,
read
it
something
that
I
believe
is
off
everybody's
radar,
but
we
have
a
serious
restructuring
of
our
economy
happening
this
book.
It's
a
long
read
but
I
encourage
you
to
read
it.
If
you
can
it
talks
about
what
happens
when
the
baby
boom
retires
leaves
a
bunch
of
jobs
open
that
cannot
be
filled
because
there
aren't
enough
people
to
fill
them.
E
Communities
like
ours
need
to
adapt
and
be
ready
for
that
change
again.
The
reports
of
our
death
have
been
greatly
exaggerated
and
have
happened
numerous
times.
The
City
of
Evanston
has
reinvented
multiple
times
as
the
economy
has
restructured.
I
encourage
the
committee
and
the
community
to
take
a
look
at
chapter,
10
and
11
of
this
book
by
Bob
tesca,
which
talks
about
what
Old
Orchard
renovating
itself
and
here's
a
picture
of
the
2025
renovation
plan.
Again,
it
continues
to
happen,
deja
vu
all
over
again.
So
what
do
we
do?
We
come
up.
E
The
city
council
has
already
been
planning
for
this.
We
have
spent
or
we
will
spend
at
the
end
of
it,
250
000
on
a
retail
District
action
plan
city-wide.
E
This
is
a
city-wide
I
just
said
that
it's
a
city-wide
business
district
study
for
each
of
our
business
districts,
that
is
our
competitive
Advantage.
We
have
unique
train
station
oriented
business
districts
that
were
created
over
100
years
ago.
Authentic,
really,
what
we
need
to
do
is
is
enhance
those
with
events
in
unique,
independent
businesses
on
the
radar.
If
our
community
is
in
such
rough
shape,
why
do
we
have
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
of
private
investment
Happening
Here?
E
E
We
have
investment
from
an
oklahoma-based
firm
who
bought
the
Hilton
Orrington
Inn
and
is
spending
tens
of
million
dollars
renovating
it
ul's
relocating
200
staff
members
here,
hey
sorry,
the
Church
Street
Plaza
development.
This
slide
alone
shows
six
new
businesses
that
are
going
to
be
occupying
with
kind
of
a
spring
ribbon
coding
that
I
hope
to
see
mayor
this
at.
In
addition,
some
restaurants
have
been
announced,
including
long
overdue.
It
started
right
before
the
pandemic,
that
middle
image
of
a
zently
in
the
second
ward
over
at
Dempster
and
Dodge.
This
place
is
amazing.
E
The
the
the
art
inside
is
a
reason
to
go
alone.
Amy
Morton
has
relocated
and
created
a
new
restaurant,
and
there
are
others
coming
soon
and
again.
I
want
to
point
out
some
additional
residential
development
recently
opened
or
about
to
open
upper
left.
It's
a
really
important
project
at
Howard
and
Chicago
called
Gateway
it'll
have
a
coffee
shop,
perhaps
and
and
other
retail,
on
the
ground
floor.
E
The
bottom
left
is
a
significant
residential
development
on
the
Nissan
repair
facility
on
Chicago
Avenue
Greenleaf
in
the
top
right
is
the
main
street
Vogue
project
vogue
vogue
sold
to
a
developer.
If
you
recall,
Vogue,
relocated
to
hartree
in
the
ninth
ward,
I
think
they're
doing
very
well
and
we'll
have
150
people
anchoring
kind
of
a
quiet
spot
on
the
west
side
of
Main
Street.
Our
next
steps
really
in
response
I
just
want
to
make
sure
the
community
understands
that
we
are
on
it.
We
have
council
members
and
I
have
lots
of
conversations.
E
Not
all
of
them
are
public.
We,
we
are
really
active
in
trying
to
come
up
with
ways
to
address
the
downturn
and
our
recovery.
Some
upcoming
meetings,
Wednesday
night
I'm,
going
to
spend
a
little
more
time
on
this
presentation,
give
some
background.
I
am
trying
to
rush
through
it.
I
had
a
50
slide
presentation
prepared
I'll
do
that
Wednesday.
E
Our
study
will
be
finished
at
the
end
of
February
early
March
I
plan
to
present
a
work
plan
to
the
committee
Economic
Development
Committee,
sometimes
in
March
or
April,
with
the
input
of
the
committee
we'll
come
to
the
city
council
for
adoption,
we're
still
I
think
tonight,
I
think
Sarah,
flax
is
going
to
talk
about
arpa
funding,
prioritization
or
reprioritization.
We
have
several
Economic
Development
grants,
including
a
new
one.
E
This
year,
spearheaded
by
a
council
member
Kelly,
called
the
lucky
Business
program,
which
is
a
retention
effort
of
our
kind
of
cultural,
long-standing
businesses
and
then
finally,
I
think
there's
a
way
and
and
I've
begun.
This
work
with
Sarah
flax
and
our
our
sustainability
coordinator,
Kara
Pratt,
and
how
do
we
combine
affordable
housing,
carp
and
economic
development
as
kind
of
one
initiative,
and
we
have
several
ideas
around
that?
E
So
that's
where
I'm
going
to
end
I'll
open
up
the
questions
if
there
are
any
otherwise,
please
join
us
on
Wednesday
night
at
Economic,
Development,
Committee,
I.
Think
seven
of
the
council
members
are
on
that
committee.
So,
if
there's
members
of
the
community
that
want
to
join
media,
please
attend.
Thank
you.
G
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
this
and
and
really
I
think
we
need
to
do
more
of
this
and
so
to
really
highlight
that
we're
doing
good
we're
doing
well.
You
know,
we've
got
some
really
important
development
UL.
You
mentioned
a
whole
host
everything
up.
There
is
really
important
to
highlight
for
our
community,
because
I
do
I
agree
with
you.
There
is
I
think
maybe.
B
G
A
certain
segment
of
our
community
that
that
things
are
falling
apart
here,
but
I
think
when
we
get
out
of
our
Evanston
bubble
and
look
around
and
look
at
other
municipalities,
both
nearby
and
Across.
The
Nation
we'll
see
that
one
either
we're
in
a
similar
boat
or
evanston's,
actually
in
in
many
cases
doing
better
than
other
places,
and
so
I
think
it's
important
to
highlight
this
and
keep
that
in
our
mind.
G
So
we
don't
start
to
work
from
a
place
of
deficit
when
we're
actually
in
a
a
a
a
a
certainly
a
place
where
we
need
to
be
vigilant
and
need
to
ensure
that
we're
doing
all
we
can
to
support
our
local
businesses.
G
But
we
shouldn't
be
again,
like
I,
said,
operating
from
a
place
of
scarcity
or
a
place
of
desperation,
because
we've
got
a
strong
City
with
strong
Economic
Development
happening
here
and
in
you
doing
the
things
that
we're
doing
that
are
right
and
we
need
to
evaluate
the
things
that
maybe
are
holding
us
back
just
a
bit.
So
thank
you
for
this.
C
B
C
It
was
I,
think
really
important
for
us
to
hear
this,
and
thank
you
for
all
your
work
on
this
topic.
I
will
just
quickly
say,
I
think.
What
we
just
heard
is
is
is
a
really
important
Point,
backed
up
by
your
presentation
that
there's
a
lot
of
great
stuff
happening
happening
at
Evanston
and
I.
Think
we
need
to
be
clear
about
that
and
name
it
and
be
enthusiastic
about
it.
C
The
other
thing
I
would
point
out
is
that
the
national
challenges
that
we
are
experiencing,
along
with
everybody
else,
are
serious
and
the
conclusion
from
that
is
not
Evanston
stinks.
The
conclusion
from
that
is
this
is
a
national
issue.
That's
going
to
require
smart,
local,
Solutions
and
I
think
we
need
to
be
at
the
Forefront
of
finding
those
Solutions
as
the
economic
transition
continues.
So
thank
you
for
all
you've
done
and.
E
E
D
Thank
you.
Mr
zamazak
appreciate
that
I
look
forward
to
your
presentation
on
Wednesday
night
next
up,
I
wanted
to
provide
an
update
on
the
black
employee
group
report
and
our
response
to
that
councilmember,
Harris
and
I
met
with
the
group.
I've
met
with
a
group
multiple
times,
including
on
December
13th,
where
we
committed
to
Bringing
forward
an
update
at
the
January
23rd
city
council
meeting
and
just
want
to
share
some
of
the
items
that
we've
completed.
We
did
put
forward
a
60-day
initial
roadmap.
We
presented
that
last
month
we
did
bring
forward.
D
It
was
approved
in
December
12th
at
the
city
council
meeting
the
200
000
for
fiscal
23
for
training
outside
consultants
and
related
items.
We
fully
expect
to
return
to
city
council
later
this
year
to
seek
additional
funds
for
our
initiatives.
We
have
secured
regular
bi-weekly
meetings
with
the
black
employee
group
myself
and
councilmember
Harris
we're
meeting
every
two
weeks
on
Tuesdays.
We
have
listening
sessions
that
will
be
starting
later
on
this
month
with
Dr
Gila
Logan
for
employees
to
share
concerns
and
in
the
issues
they
have,
we
did
set
up
several
weeks
ago.
D
A
complaint
email
address
for
staff
members
to
to
send
an
email
if
they
have
concerns
about
retaliation
repercussions
as
a
result
of
their
participation
in
the
black
employee
group.
We
did
have
two
complaints
come
through.
We
addressed
those
immediately
and
resolved
them
to
the
satisfaction
of
those
employees
involved.
D
Some
additional
items
we
had
19
City
staffers
attend
in
mid-December
the
Beyond
diversity
training
at
Evanston,
Township,
High
School
that
was
led
by
Dr
Marcus
Campbell
and
Pat
Savage
Williams.
We
all
collectively
felt
that
it
was
very
impactful
and
powerful
and
we're
grateful
to
attend
that
training,
we're
looking
to
bring
similar
training
to
directors,
managers
and
supervisors
as
well.
We've
consulted
without
outside
experts,
including
the
ywca's
equity
Institute
staff.
We've
had
multiple
Communications
with
all
City
staff
and
multiple
City
Council
meetings.
D
We're
doing
that
in
consultation
with
the
employee
group
so
that
they
we
have
that
their
endorsement,
and
they
we
feel
that
we've
selected
outside
experts
and
vendors
that
have
credibility
with
the
group,
councilmember,
Harris
and
I
have
reworked
the
city's
response
to
time
more
directly
to
the
group's
recommendations
and
we've
shared
those
draft
responses
with
the
group
and
received
positive
feedback
last
week
on
that
we'll
be
sharing
that
publicly
later
on
this
week,
the
equity
and
organizational
performance
manager
position
has
been
posted.
We've
been
receiving
a
number
of
applications
for
that
position.
D
We
also
are
in
the
process
of
working
on
an
employee
satisfaction
survey
that
we
hope
to
launch
to
All
City
staff.
Shortly
we've
created
a
new
page
on
the
city's
intranet
that
managers,
directors
and
supervisors
will
update
with
any
training
opportunities,
professional
development,
other
items
so
that
that
is
there's
full
transparency
for
All
City
staff
on
those
opportunities.
D
Some
of
our
next
steps
include
finalizing
the
HR
Dei
and
legal
assistance.
We
want
to
identify
finalists
and
begin
interviews
for
the
equity
position,
we'll
also
be
posting
the
HR
Recruitment
and
Retention
specialist
position
that
was
approved
in
the
most
recent
City
budget,
we're
going
to
be
rolling
out,
Dei
training,
as
I
mentioned
for
directors,
managers
and
supervisors
and
eventually
All
City
staff.
D
We
will
also
post
the
lakefront
Report
with
all
the
different
steps
that
the
city
has
taken
since
that
report
was
issued
last
year
and
our
response
to
that
report.
We
will
also
have
a
public
dashboard
of
our
progress
with
all
the
different
initiatives
and
projects,
so
people
can
see
in
near
real
time
our
progress
and
then
also
we
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do
and
we
want
to
increase
the
pace
at
which
we're
doing
it.
D
So
we're
hoping
with
the
additional
outside
support
that
we'll
be
able
to
increase
the
pace
at
which
we're
moving
and
I
just
want
to
take
another
opportunity
to
say
thank
you
to
the
group
for
coming
forward
to
sharing
their
concerns
and
and
their
efforts
and
time
and
energy
to
make
our
workplace
better
and
also
a
special
thank
you
to
councilmember.
Harris
who's
been
invaluable
and
extremely
supportive
of
this
process.
H
Sorry,
it's
like
getting
dressed
in
the
morning
taking
a
mask
off
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
as
well
for
the
confidence
it
has
been
I
think
a
worthwhile
Union
working
together
and
working
with
the
committee.
H
Not
many
times
do
you
have
a
group
that
has
been
disenfranchised,
that's
willing
to
work
with
you
and
show
you
the
ways
in
which
to
do
things
and
and
to
provide
the
city
the
opportunity
to
work
with
them
so
I'm
very
pleased
to
be
part
of
that
I'm
very
impressed
with
no
more
peace
with
the
city,
both
sides
of
it.
So
just
thank
you
for
the
opportunity,
and
this
is
a
journey.
There
is
no
ending
point.
C
I
just
want
to
Echo
the
thanks,
I
think
one
actual
customer
Harris
said
for
this
group
to
come
forward
and
to
offer
not
only
their
concerns
and
frustrations,
but
also
their
time
to
help
us
do
better
is
is
really
a
gift
to
the
city
and
we're
going
to
be
better
for
it.
So
I
want
to
again
thank
thank
them
for
approaching
this
really
really
critical
work
in
the
spirit.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
Harris
for
doing
you
know
if
I
could
just
be
really
blunt
doing
one
of
the
hardest
things
a
council
member
could
be
called
upon
to
do
immediately
upon
joining
the
council.
It's
really
it's
really
remarkable,
and
so
I
certainly
appreciate
it
tremendously,
and
thank
you.
Thank
you.
C
Luke
the
same
thing
I
know
that
this
wasn't
something
that
you
thought
you
were
signing
up
for,
but
this
is
what
the
city
needs
to
have
done
right
now,
and
your
your
you're
clearing
your
calendar
to
make
sure
that
this
takes
the
priority
that
it
deserves
and
again
we're
going
to
be
better
for
that.
So
thank
you
very,
very
much.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
This
brings
us
to
public
comments
this
evening.
We
have
roughly
10
people
seeking
to
give
public
comments,
so
each
will
be
given
three
minutes.
We
begin,
as
always,
with
those
who
signed
up
in
person,
and
so
that
will
begin
with
Mike
posilko,
who
will
be
followed
by
Tim
grimmond,
who
will
be
followed
by
Ray
Friedman.
C
Oh
sorry
got
it
so
that
will
the
first
Speaker
then
it'll
be
Tim
guymond,
who
will
be
followed
by
Brave
Friedman
and
then
Bennett
Johnson.
I
For
letting
me
speak
today,
I
spoke
to
a
sports
Economist
today
at
the
University
of
Chicago
he's
one
of
the
most
preeminent
Sports
economists
in
the
country,
Alan
Sanderson
he's
been
in
the
game
for
decades,
probably
40
years
and
I
asked
him
about
the
he's
aware
of
Northwestern
study
of
their
proposed
new
stadium
and
I.
Think
10
or
12
events
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
number
is,
and
he
said
that
it's
likely
overstated
by
an
enormous
amount
by
a
factor
of
10..
I
So
in
other
words
he
he
hinted,
or
he
suggested
that
the
3.6
million
in
additional
tax
revenues
to
the
City
of
Evanston
annually
is
is
overstated
by
a
huge
amount
and
it-
and
in
other
words
the
study
needs
to
be
looked
at.
Why
is
this
it's
because
of
the
way
they
conducted
the
study
using
multiplier
analysis,
which
is
extremely
flawed.
I
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
example.
He
gave
me
today
of
these
kinds
of
studies
and
it's
not
a
completely
analogous,
but
it's
it's
interesting
in
2015
Boston
was
proposing
to
put
on
the
the
2024
Summer
Olympics.
I
You
can
imagine
it's
a
huge
investment
in
the
in
the
city
to
renovate
or
create
new
venues,
hotel
rooms.
You
know
new
hotels,
all
kinds
of
things
you
would
expect
to
have
an
enormous
boost
to
the
economy
and
but
Boston,
and
the
governor
of
Massachusetts
asked
Alan
to
investigate
what
the
economic
impact
would
be
of
holding
the
Olympics
in
Boston,
and
they,
his
team,
found
out
after
working
all
summer
on
the
problem
that
it
would
be
a
loser.
They
would
actually
lose
money
by
having
the
Olympics.
I
They
also
looked
at
the
10
previous
cities
that
held
Summer
Olympics
in
each
of
those
cities
using
their
analysis
also
lost
money.
So
you
have
this
big
investment.
You
have
a
lot
of
money
coming
in
it,
crowds
out
money,
that's
already
there.
It
crowds
out
economic
activity,
that's
already
there.
It
also
substitutes
for
other
entertainment
dollars
that
would
go
towards
other
things.
People
fled
the
city
because
of
all
the
people
coming
in
15.
J
Thank
you
good
evening.
Everyone
thank
you
for
allowing
me
first
of
all,
to
sit
on
on
your
four
hour
goals.
Meeting
we
could
go
Saturday
I
received
the
three-page
print
out
of
the
10
goals
outlined
all
of
which
were
excellent
goals.
I
have
only
two
questions
concerning
these
goals,
whether
it
be
three
goals,
narrowed
down,
two
or
30
goals
doesn't
matter.
The
first
question
is:
what
is
the
plan
on
achieving
these
goals?
Second
question
is:
how
will
you
measure
the
success
or
failure
of
each
of
those
goals?
J
We
need
to
see
the
data
from
the
last
four
years
on
the
last
six
goals
identified
and
what
was
the
success
or
failure
of
each
of
those,
your
correct
mayor
this
that
this
cannot
be
successful
without
significant
input
from
your
residence
and
so
far
we
don't
see
that
happening.
J
Residents
are
being
left
out
of
the
discussions
and
the
processes
you
have
plenty
of
input
available
here
for
free
outside
the
850
or
so
employees
that
you
have
hired,
let
alone
the
studies
and
the
Consultants,
not
even
allowing
residents
to
finish
a
public
comment
and
being
very
selective
about
who
can
speak
for
more
than
three
minutes
allowed
and
on
Saturday
the
14th.
There
are
only
three
people,
speaking
at
public
comment
and
you
decided
not
to
allow
those
to
finish.
J
Two
out
of
the
three
people
ran
out
of
the
three-minute
time
slot
of
the
45
minutes
allowed
for
public
comment
really
again
you're
following
the
letter
of
the
law,
while
violating
the
spirit
of
the
law.
Please
change
the
course
of
action
here
and
lead
us
on
a
path
of
success.
What's
the
plan,
how
will
we
achieve
it?
How
will
you
measure
the
success
or
failure
of
each
of
those
goals?
Thank
you
very
much.
Ray
Friedman,
second
ward,
or
you
can
call
me
Roy.
K
Mayor
this
city
manager,
still
clerk
Mendoza
I'm
from
the
ninth
ward
I,
want
to
speak
on
economic
development.
I
was
the
first
head,
Regional
director
of
the
office
of
minority
business
Enterprise
now
called
the
minority
development
agency.
I
also
work
as
head
of
the
economic
development
for
the
state
of
Illinois
and
in
the
private
sector,
otherwise
I'm
quite
familiar
with
business,
and
one
of
the
reasons
I
did
it.
Of
course,
I
had
a
close
associate
named
David
Vega.
K
The
whole
point
was
to
help
minorities
become
economically
viable
and
I
have
two
problems
that
I
want
to
call
to
your
attention.
One
is
a
eight
I
understand
in
the
husband
hunting.
K
That
is
ridiculous
because
we
have
a
chance,
with
this
huge
economic
giant,
coming
into
everything,
to
raise
business,
people,
minority
business,
people
and
women
who
will
become
more
viable
and
have
a
more
viable
life
in
Evanston,
and
the
City
of
Emerson
will
benefit
directly
from
it.
So
I
think
this
is
ridiculous
that
this
group
is
being
asked
to
get
the
minority
thing
wave.
On
the
contrary,
they
should
be
getting
an
increase
in
become
effective.
K
The
only
other
thing
I
have
is
89.
The
Harley
clock
thing
I
think
at
some
point
to
realize
that,
in
the
same
sense,
Charles
is
a
very
competent
and
skilled
business
person
and
it's
another
opportunity
for
again
the
City
of
Evanston,
providing
with
a
lease.
So
we
can
go
forward
on
the
Harley
clock
project,
which
will
benefit
not
only
him
but
all
the
citizens
of
energy.
Thank
you.
C
L
I'm
going
to
give
everybody
a
handout
after
I'm
done
in
case
I,
don't
finish:
I'm
Ken
prosky
from
the
Seventh
Ward
and
I'm
here
to
comment
on
item
A8,
which
I
believe
has
been
tabled:
the
Honda
and
strategic
Partners
proposal.
L
Besides
the
current
proposal
from
Northwestern
there
are
I
want
to
make
you
familiar
with
many
other
options
that
deserve
consideration
in
the
discussion
of
economic
benefits
and
costs.
Let
me
take
this
off.
Can
you
hear
me
better
now?
Sorry
in
case
you
were
not
aware.
Every
other
university
in
the
nation
today
is
taking
a
completely
different
approach.
More
practical
and
less
ambitious
in
the
Big
Ten
of
the
14
stadiums
that
were
originally
built
were
built
before
1929
Ryan,
Field,
1926.
L
L
Only
three
stadiums
have
been
rebuilt.
Indiana
and
Maryland
replaced
tiny
stadiums
that
had
seating
for
only
five
thousand
to
twenty
thousand
Minnesota
tried
to
share
a
facility
with
the
Vikings
and
twins,
but
eventually
they
moved
back
to
and
built
their
own
facility
on
campus
on
a
national
scale.
There
are
now
currently
22
Stadium
Renovations
underway
projects
of
these
22
19,
our
Renovations
and
modernizations.
Only
three
are
new.
L
L
C
M
It
seems
to
me
that
when
we
look
at
the
American
Recovery
Act
that
other
businesses
and
other
agencies
have
been
given
a
distribution
without
having
to
go
through
all
of
the
Hoops
that
you're
asking
us
to
jump
through
a
small
landlords
for
a
minimum
of
amount,
I
think
it's
ridiculous,
that
you
should
ask
us
for
three
years
of
our
income
tax,
to
prove
that
we've
had
a
loss.
Yet
you
have
no
difficulty
giving
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
businesses
on
Main
Street.
M
M
Even
people
like
me,
who
are
adversely
effective
and
to
see
all
this
money
going
into
businesses
and
other
organizations
that
did
not
have
half
an
impact
on
their
income
as
a
first
like
me,
is
almost
a
slap
in
the
face
and
a
double
standard
that
I
think
the
city
should
no
longer
try
to
perpetuate
on
our
citizens.
We
stop
redlining,
well,
I,
think,
but
I
think
we
ought
to
reconsider
and
bring
up
immediately
to
vote
and
distribute
this
money
to
small
landlords
without
all
the
strings
attached.
Thank
you.
C
N
Thank
you,
the
American
Recovery
Act
funds,
I
thought
were
meant
to
serve
all
the
residents
of
Evanston,
yet
they
seemed
to
be
spent
on
studies
for
which
groups
with
true
needs
have
been
pleading
for
more
years
than
anyone
on
the
council
has
been
seated.
Do
we
need
all
these
studies
or
any
this
Council
can
remove
the
smoke
screen?
That
covers
the
true
needs
of
the
city.
There's
a
saying
that
is
who
doesn't
serve
to
serve,
doesn't
serve
for
anything
or
serves
for
nothing.
Thank
you.
O
Good
evening,
as
many
of
you
know,
paid
in
properties
has
been
providing
affordable
housing
in
Evanston
for
over
52
years
tonight
she
will
be
discussing
the
small
medium
landlord
funds
of
of
500
000
or
15
000.
Each
notice
that
it's
a
discussion,
not
an
agenda
item.
You
have
been
discussing
same
for
over
a
year,
but
you
are
also
discussing
hodc
and
Mount
Pisgah,
which
was
held
in
committee
and
continued
to
February
8th.
O
Why
do
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
vote
Yes
in
10
short
minutes
for
a
continued
project
to
receive
four
million
dollars
with
this
on
the
table?
You
have
blocked
me
and
others
from
receiving
any
money
from
Tiff
who
do
you
know
that
has
provided
affordable
units
in
one
building
for
over
52
years?
That's
in
the
Tiff.
O
The
city
staff
has
sacrificed
This
Town
by
backdoor
deals.
That's
why
some
people
need
to
start
wearing
an
orange
jumpsuit
funny
how
many
of
the
same
people
like
hodc,
receive
millions
of
dollars
year
after
year,
While
others
never
get
an
opportunity
to
re,
receive
grants
of
the
same
caliber
fairness,
Equity,
transparency,
honesty,
trustworthiness
are
all
adjectives.
O
The
City
of
Evanston
is
not
I'm
still
waiting
for
the
mayor
to
keep
his
promise
to
help
me,
which
was
now
over
a
year
later,
also
waiting
for
Paul
zamlazak
to
send
me
the
information,
so
I
can
apply
for
the
Tiff
and
not
the
measly
fifteen
thousand
dollars
that
you
just
can't
stop
talking
about
black
landlords
matter.
Black
lawyers
matter
black
lives
matter
and
I
matter
have
a
good
evening.
P
Hello,
council
members
I
appreciate
the
time
and
opportunity
to
speak
I'm,
choosing
to
speak
about
the
pending
discussion
and
pending
Provisions
around
the
cashless
span.
I
myself
am
a
local
business
owner
I'm
the
owner
of
Vietnam,
now
I'm,
a
big
meetings
by
restaurant
on
Church
Street.
P
We
opened
our
store
in
the
summer
of
2017.
We've
been
in
business
in
Evanston
for
seven
years.
P
Believe
me
and
truly
understand
that
I
understand,
there's
ramifications
with
cashless
fans,
that's
like
cashless
procedures
and
everything
has
a
butterfly
effect,
nonetheless,
with
the
business
decisions,
but
coming
from
a
business
where
we
absolutely
did
accept
cash,
starting
when
we
first
started
in
this
town
until
2015
I
recognize
also
just
with
my
intersectionality
of
my
background,
like
I,
understand
having
come
from
Wall
Street
and
working
in
banking
practices.
Around
cashless
procedures
can
also
be
tied
and
linked
to
systemic
issues
and
discriminatory
practices
with
folks
not
having
access
to
Banks.
P
With
that
experience,
I've
had
whatever
exposure
I've
had
I
would
argue
that
the
true
systemic
issues
needing
to
be
addressed
around
access
to
bank
accounts
and
signing
people
up
and
support
with
local
banks.
That
to
me
is
a
really
real
big
solution
here
at
the
Forefront,
not
yet
another
mandate
or
procedure
that
would
otherwise
inhibit
and
continue
to
add,
costly
measures
to
business
owners.
P
I
have
a
four-point
quick
list
of
just
sharing
more
insights
about
what
we
go
through
business
owners
to
have
to
count
cash,
one
being
a
coin
shortage
and
just
the
circulation
issues
in
this
country.
In
this
pandemic
we
continue
to
not
have
ample
Supply
so
from
a
literal
standpoint,
they're,
not
always
access
to
these
coins
that
we
need
to
operate
with
cash,
security
and
safety
argue
is
the
number
one
thing
that
I
really
should
emphasize.
In
this
conversation.
P
In
my
six
five
years
of
having
a
storefront,
we've
had
one
break-in
at
least
a
half
dozen
incidents
of
people
stealing
and
taking
tip
jars.
We've
had
an
incident
where
three
people
organize
a
scheme
to
take
money
out
of
my
cashier's
hands.
This
presents
a
major
safety
issue
when
cash
is
known
to
be
on
site,
there's
also
security
issues
when
having
someone
from
your
team
take
cash
to
and
from
a
bank,
and
if
they
are
seen
by
others
outside
of
your
restaurant
or
business.
P
In
this
case,
regardless
of
type
of
Industry,
you
are
going
to
be
a
Target.
The
third
point
I
have
is
around
labor
and
the
expenses
involved.
You
ask
any
restaurant
owner
business
owner.
You
are
spending
at
least
five
to
a
dozen
Plus
hours,
literally
counting
cash
before
service
after
service.
You
are
cutting
cash
in
between
your
accounting,
cash
for
deposits
and
the
reconciliation
with
all
that
this
racks
up
to
become
several
hundred
dollars
a
week
in
labor
over
the
course
of
a
year.
P
That's
the
last
expense
related
to
this
is
that
you
could
also
have
counting
errors,
so
in
the
in
the
Modern
Age
I
would
really
focus
on
this
conversation
being
about
how
do
we
address
as
a
community
and
a
city
around
the
idea
of
signing
people
up
in
Banks
and
working
with
banks
and
financial
institutions
to
support
individuals
who
have
otherwise
been
discriminated
against?
Thank
you
for
your
time
in
consideration.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
I
want
to
Circle
back
to
the
one
person
who
did
not
respond
when
called
is
Erica
passett.
Now
in
the
zoom
it
looks
like
he
is
not,
and
so
this
concludes
public
comment
for
the
evening.
This
brings
us
to
special
orders
of
business
with
someone
care
to
make
a
motion
on
item
sp1.
C
G
Thank
you.
This
is
coming
before
this
body.
This
is
the
second
or
second
time.
I
think
this
has
come
around.
We've
made
a
lot
of
progress
had
a
lot
of
good
conversations
with
Sergeant
Sophia
Sophia
and
Chief
Stewart
and
Genoa
Hardin
and
Council
Cummings,
as
well
as
councilmember
Burns,
have
all
been
a
part
of
discussion
here.
I
think
this
makes
a
lot
of
improvements
from
what
was
previously
before
us,
while
the
ordinance
previously
before
us
I
think
you
know
aligned
with
the
values
of
this
ordinance.
G
This
ordinance
I
think
gives
us
better
ability
to
track
what
offenses
are
you
know
are
being
violated,
whereas
previously
both
possession
of
cannabis
and
possession
of
alcohol
were
under
the
same
code.
Maybe
I
should
take
a
step
back
and
say
what
we're
we're
voting
on
here,
which
is
an
ordinance
that
amends
certain
offenses,
particularly
relating
to
possession
and
consumption
of
cannabis,
and
alcohol
in
public
consumption
of
alcohol
and
cannabis
remain
illegal
in
public.
G
With
this,
if
this
ordinance
is
adopted,
I'm
sorry,
consumption
of
of
of
those
items
remain
illegal
possession
becomes
legal.
In
certain
circumstances,
possession
of
cannabis
will
follow
state
law
which
this
ordinance
has
been
updated
to
reflect
and
possession
of
alcohol.
G
What
will
mostly
reflect
state
law?
There's
one
place
where
there's
a
bit
of
disagreement
here,
which
is
whether
or
not
possession
of
a
previously
opened
container
of
alcohol
can
be
possessed
on
a
sidewalk
or
an
alley
or
other
public
ways.
G
Certainly,
in
this
ordinance,
possession
of
open
containers
would
still
be
prohibited
at
parks
at
beaches
at
at
many
other
public
places,
and
this
would
allow
folks
to
you
know
if
you
are
taking
a
bottle
of
wine
and
you're
leaving
wine
goddess
and
maybe
there's
a
tasting
event,
and
you
opened
your
bottle.
G
You'd
be
allowed
to
walk
down
the
street
and
either
put
it
in
your
trunk
or
you'd,
be
able
to
walk
down
the
street
to
a
BYOB
with
your
previously
open
bottle
of
wine
and
not
fear
criminal,
any
criminal
interaction
with
law
enforcement.
If
I
can
ask
Sergeant
Sophia
a
quick
question
before
my
time
is
up.
G
Evening,
thank
you,
so
is
there
I
think
there
might
be
agreement
that
mere
possession
of
an
opened
container
of
alcohol
in
and
of
itself
is
not
inherently
problematic
and
that
it's
more
of
a
precursor
to
a
potential
disturbance
in
public
order?
Is
that
would
you
agree
with
that
statement.
R
To
a
degree,
I
think
that
it
is
a
precursor,
but
it
often
leads
to
many
of
the
disorderly
type
offenses
that
we
get
called
for
not
just
downtown
in
that
public
space,
but
other
public
spaces
throughout
the
city
at
many
times,
with
many
long-term
issues
that
we've
worked
with
many
council
members
here
tonight
through
those
Awards.
So,
yes,
you
are
correct
to
a
degree
that
sometimes
it's
an
issue.
Sometimes
it's
not,
but
it's
when
it
is
an
issue.
It's
a
difficult
one
for
us
to
resolve.
Certainly.
G
G
R
Disorderly
conduct
is
illegal.
That
is
correct.
I
would
like
to
take
the
opportunity,
since
you're
asking
this
question
to
Simply
state
that
our
goal
and
through
the
response
from
the
police
department
in
the
council
packet.
R
The
point
here
is
that
we'd
like
the
opportunity
to
ensure
that,
before
there
are
disorderly
acts
occurring
where
the
police
do
need
to
respond,
and
it's
disruptive
to
local
businesses,
to
Residents
to
visitors
and
other
stakeholders
that
we
don't
get
to
that
point
and
by
leaving
the
ordinance
as
it
currently
stands,
which
is
the
one
point
of
contention
as
you've
brought
up
that
we're
talking
about
allows
the
police
department
the
option.
If
we
cannot
gain
Cooperative
engagement
with
an
individual
that
we
still
have
the
ability,
if
necessary,
to
cite
for
that
open
container.
G
Thank
you
and
I'm
closing
out
I'm
sure
my
time
is
coming
to
an
end.
So
you
know
again.
This
is
you're,
saying
that
you
want
the
the
police
department
wants
to
be
able
to
use
this
ordinance
to
to
prevent
an
offense
of
the
public
order
from
happening,
which
you
know
kind
of
jokingly,
but
serious
I've
mentioned
to
some
of
my
colleagues.
It
it
it
it
it.
G
It
seems
like
we
should
be
treating
the
actual
offense
to
the
public
order
and
not
going
off
in
an
almost
Minority
Report
like
trying
to
prevent
crime
before
it
even
happens
before
someone
prevent
commits
an
offense
to
the
public
order
and
so
and
I
can't
think
of
another
ordinance
that
is
similar
to
this
I
mean
what
I
have
thought
of
that
is
similar
to
this.
G
We're
we're
loitering
laws
where
you
know
loitering
in
and
of
itself,
was
not
inherently
problematic
or
inherently
an
offense
to
the
public
order,
but
there
were
concerns
that
with
loitering
that
folks,
you
know,
could
be
involved
in
drug
activity
or
could
be
involved
in
gang
activity,
and-
and
we
found
that
here
in
Illinois,
you
know
just
blanket
loitering
laws
are
not
Allowed
by
lawn,
so
you
know
to
me
I
think
making
this
simple
change
would
still
to
clarify:
would
ban
alcohol,
open
containers
at
public
beaches
at
our
public
parks
and
in
our
public
buildings,
unless
there
is
authorization
from
the
city
manager,
I
think
still
gives
us,
the
police
department,
the
power
that
it
needs
to
enforce
our
community
standards
and
I'll
remind
us
that
currently
you
know
we
allow
folks
to
consume
alcohol
at
sidewalk
cafes.
G
We
want
to
allow
folks
to
consume
alcohol
at
Arrington
Lagoon
in
the
in
the
near
future,
with
the
hopeful
Cafe
that
would
be
located
there
and
so
I
think,
as
our
community
standards
are
shifting.
You
know
this.
One
I
think
small
point
of
contention
and
I
see
my
time.
G
Certainly,
wrapping
up
now
I
hope
that
we
can
move
forward
with
this
and
give
it
a
trial
if
it's
something
we
have
to
visit
down
the
line,
I
think
we
can,
but
I
think
we
can
move
forward
this
with
the
police
department
having
what
they
need
to
address
or
issues
of
public
disorder
and
public
intoxication.
Thank
you.
C
Councilman
suffered
him
is
the
question:
is
there
a
second
second
customer
suffering
calls
the
question
councilmember
reads
seconds
I'm
going
to
try
to
get
this
one
right
for
once
in
my
life
to
non-debatable
motion.
So
now
we
vote
on
whether
to
end
debate
and
have
the
vote.
Is
that
correct,
Mr
Clements?
Will
the
clerk
please
take
the
role
on
the
motion
to
call
the
question.
G
T
C
For
voting
in
favor
and
five
voting
against
the
motion
fails
was
that
the
end
of
your
comment,
council
member
this.
E
S
T
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
the
council,
members
and
staff
have
put
in.
This
is
a
good
example
of
how
far
we
can
get
when
we
put
some
heads
together
and
collaborate,
so
thank
you.
Councilman
Marie,
council
member
Burns,
Chief,
Stewart,
Sergeant
Sophia
for
for
doing
this
good
work
and
I
think
we're
95
percent
of
the
way
there,
but
I
do
share
some
of
the
concerns
raised
in
the
memo.
T
With
regards
to
the
public
possession
section
of
this
ordinance
and
I'm
concerned
about
the
downtown
business
district,
the
Main
Street
business
district,
which
are
on
my
Wards
same
argument,
you
know
applies
to
other
words
as
well
about
quality
of
life,
and
the
issue,
in
my
mind,
is
not
sidewalk
cafes.
The
issue
is
not
people
coming
home
from
the
the
wine
goddess
with
with
half
a
bottle.
T
The
issue
is
folks
walking
down
the
street
that
are
drinking
and
if
they
put
that
bottle
down
they're
all
of
a
sudden
in
compliance
with
the
law
and
I,
don't
want
to
take
away
tools
from
the
police
department
that
will
allow
them
to
make
our
business
districts
and
make
our
neighborhoods
safe
and
warm
and
welcoming
for
Evanston
residents
for
Evanston
visitors,
so
I
I
do
want
to
add
back
the
language
to
section
2C
with
regards
to
open
containers
and
I
do
want
to
add
the
the
highway
streets,
alleys,
sidewalks,
Parkways
and
public
lots
to
that
particular
section.
T
So
I
will
make
that
motion.
If
I
have
a
second
I'll
I'll
send
that
out
right
now,.
C
Council
member
newsman
moves
to
amend
item
sp1
by
adding
the
phrase
highways
streets,
alleys,
sidewalks,
Parkways
and
public
parking
lots
to
the
end
of
let's
see
what
is
this
9-5-110
A2B
do.
I
have
that
right,
council
member.
C
Council
member
Revell
seconds
councilmember
news
was
sent
this
to
me
this
afternoon,
which
is
well
that's
what
I'm
reading
out
loud
and
my
understanding
is
he'll,
be
sending
it
to
the
whole
Council
as
we
speak,
is.
C
This
is
It's
arrived
in
my
inbox,
presumably
others
have
it
as
well.
Council.
Member
sorry,
are
you
done
councilman
I'm.
U
This
question
is
for
sergeant
safier,
if
you
would
mind
so
I've
already
communicated
today
that
this
is
a
tool
that
we
don't
want
to
lose.
Could
you
explain
give
a
scenario
of
how
this
tool
is
used.
R
Absolutely
you
get
a
Call
of
a
individual
or
group
of
individuals
who
are
publicly
drinking
upon
the
site
of
the
police
car
prior
to
the
police
officer,
making
contact
with
that
individual
or
individuals.
Those
individuals
then
put
their
beverages
down
or
hide
their
Beverages
and
because,
by
way
of
not
seeing
them
consume
it.
If
this
were
to
pass
as
it
stands,
then
we
do
nothing
right.
R
We
can
of
course
go
and
initiate
a
conversation
if
someone's
willing
to
have
that
with
us,
but
we
cannot
take
any
form
of
enforcement
action
or
encourage
someone
to
throw
out
that
open
alcohol
get
rid
of
it,
so
that
that
public
nuisance
is
not
continuing
in
any
of
those
areas.
So
again
as
it
stands
right
now,
we
can
if
we
go,
and
we
see
someone-
that's
got
an
open
container
of
alcoholic
beverages
sitting
beside
them
in
a
public
space,
we
can
go
and
say:
hey,
that's
against
city
ordinance,
we're
asking
you
to
throw
that
away.
R
If
we
get
another
call
and
have
to
return
there
are
enforcement
options
such
as
that
local
ordinance
citation,
but
by
way
of
The
Proposal.
If
we
saw
that
open
container
of
alcoholic
beverages
next
to
an
individual
group
of
individuals,
we
could
take
no
action
until
we
see
them
drinking
from
it,
and
it's
common
sense
that
when
the
police
are
there
they're
not
going
to
do
so
and
oftentimes,
we
do
get
return.
Calls
in
many
public
spaces
that
hey
the
moment
the
officers
left
and
we
get
this
with
many
disorderly
acts
right.
R
U
U
That's
why
the
neighbor
actually
has
to
sign
off
on
the
ticket,
or
at
least
that's
my
understanding
that
the
neighbors
are
encouraged
to
or
I
might
even
it
may
be
necessary
for
a
neighbor
who
did
hear
the
music
to
sign
off
on
the
ticket
and
if
our
responding
officers
did
not
observe
it
themselves,
they
they're
not
supposed
to
write
a
ticket
which
is
part
of
the
challenge
that
we've
run
into
on
the
east
side
of
the
Fifth,
Ward
and
I.
Think
that's
different
here,
where
you
know
we're
not
asking
a
witness
of
of
this.
U
To
just
say:
hey,
did
anybody
see
this
person
drinking
although
they
set
it
down?
Did
anybody
see
it,
and
if
you
did,
you
can
sign
this
ticket
that
we
can
issue
the
ticket,
we're
just
we're
we're
making
a
almost
assumption
about
possession
which
really
leads
to
my
next
question.
I,
don't
know.
Maybe
this
is
a
legal
question.
Is
that
possession
of
somebody
set
something
down
and
you
don't
see
them
sending
it
down?
Is
that
possession
I
mean
this
is
illegal?
I
mean
this?
Is
this
is
literally
a
fundamental?
V
Good
evening
members,
the
city
council,
mayor
biss
clerk,
Mendoza
city
manager,
Stowe
Nicholas,
Cummings,
Corporation,
Council
I,
don't
believe
that
our
city
code
talks
about
specifically
defines
what
possession
is.
However,
the
in
Sergeant
Sophia
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
state
law
with
respect
to
possession
includes
constructive
possession.
This
is
often
used
in
terms
of
drugs
and
gun
cases,
because
oftentimes
someone
trying
to
shed
actual
possession
in
an
effort
to
elude
arrest
will
have
then
constructed
possession
because
it's
within
their
grasp
or
within
their
reach,
I,
don't
know
if
that's
so
much.
V
The
issue
here
I
know
that
when
we
talked
in
our
last
discussion
altogether,
we
talked
about
defining
what
an
open
container
is,
but
defining
possession
is
much
more
nuanced
and
much
more
detail
than
I
think
that
our
code
contemplates
currently.
U
Okay
and
then
just
to
continue
to
walk
it
through,
so
they
were
saying
that
the
because
I
think,
no
matter
what
in
a
sense
or
even
if
we
left
a
portion
of
this,
we
could
encourage
our
officers
to
be
able
to
say
hey.
Can
you
move
along?
Even
if
we
didn't
you
know
we
could?
We
could
leave
enough
of
this
to
where
it
would
authorize.
U
It
would
allow
our
responding
officers
to
say:
hey
can
you
you
know
move
around,
but
but
taking
it
a
step
further
towards,
so
you
were
saying
that
a
ticket
is
enough
to
get
someone.
U
Let's
just
use
the
scenario
someone's
homeless
for
as
an
example
that
the
ticket
alone
is
enough
to
change
their
behavior,
that
we
you
go
the
first
time
you
tell
them
to
move
around,
they
don't
do
it.
You
come
back
and
we
need
this
on
the
books,
because
the
ticket
we
now
give
this
person
a
ticket.
Let's
just
say
this
person
is
homeless,
we're
seeing
that
is
enough
to
to
to
to
get
the
behavioral
change
that
we're
looking
for.
U
We
we're
seeing
on
on
the
street
level
that
people
are
moving
around
once
they
get
a
ticket
and
we're
not
arresting
people.
That's
not
the
way
that
we're
able
to
move
them
away
from
one
of
our
grocery
stores
or
somewhere
else,
where
they're
drinking,
but
that
the
ticket
alone
is
enough
to
get
them
to
move.
R
R
No,
that
that
is
correct,
but
it
is
oftentimes
when
it's
clear
that
the
officers
are
going
to
enforce
the
law,
that
is
on
the
books,
and
we
make
that
clear
to
the
individual
that
if
we
can't
gain
compliance,
the
other
way
which
truly
and
I
want
to
make
clear
to
everybody
here
tonight.
That
is
the
ultimate
goal.
The
ultimate
goal
isn't
to
have
to
take
enforcement
action,
but
that
should
remain
an
option
in
the
cases
where
we're
having
to
deal
with
disorderly
behavior.
R
U
We're
not
talking
about
disorderly,
though,
because
disorderly
as
councilman
Reed
said,
has
its
own
place
in
the
ordinance,
and
we
can
act
on
that,
no
matter
what
you
know
was
triggering
it,
we
can
act
on.
If
somebody
is
behaving
disorderly,
we
can
issue
a
ticket
just
for
that.
So
really
just
talking
about
somebody-
that's
probably
not
too
disorderly,
but
maybe
there
were
calls
that
this
per
individual
was
disorderly
and
we
didn't
we're
not
seeing
it.
U
We
don't
see
it,
we
don't
see
them
drinking,
we
don't
see
him
acting
disorderly,
and
so
we
need
to
issue
this
ticket
to
try
to
move
them
along
is
what
I'm.
What
I
think
is
what
we're
saying
so
that
that
information
is
helpful
and
then
last
question.
Are
we
ever
arresting
people
in
these
situations,
or
is
it
always
a
ticket
from
your
experience.
R
U
And
then
last
question
I
promise
on
this
is:
do
you
think
that
makes
sense
the
the
example
I
gave
with
a
noise
ordinance
again,
my
my
experience
is
neighbors
have
been
asked
to
Pro
to
be
a
witness
to
it.
If,
if
an
officer
couldn't
observe
it,
if
that's
the
case,
if
you
agree
that
that's
what
we
do
with
noise,
don't
you
think
with
this
situation,
we
could
also
ask
people
to
be
a
witness
to
this
Behavior
as
well,
or
could
we
not
do
that.
R
I
believe
it's
a
little
more
fluid
than
a
noise
issue
at
just
one
location
and
I,
don't
believe
it's
completely
Apples
to
Apples.
You
know,
I
will
just
say
with
respect
to
council
member
Reed's
comments
about
Minority,
Report
and
future
future
crime
type
behaviors
that
again
we're
seeking
Common
Sense
would
state
that
if
somebody
is
drinking
continuously
in
a
public
place,
just
not
when
the
police
are
around,
that
there
is
a
definite
opportunity
for
disorderly
issues
to
arise,
and
we
respond
to
that
extremely
often
in
a
lot
of
our
public
spaces.
R
Unfortunately,
that's
become
more
often
something
that
the
police
department
has
dealt
with
over
the
past
couple
of
years.
So,
while
I'm
not
looking
to
state
that
that's
a
you
know
a
the
example
that
Council
memory
gave
again.
If
common
sense
is
that
someone
that
is
going
to
continue
that
behavior
when
the
police
aren't,
there
is
going
to
lead
to
more
serious
issues
in
that
public
space.
It's
in
our
Collective
interest
to
try
to
stop
that
from
occurring
in
the
first
place
again,
preferably
with
not
without
enforcement
action,
but
to
have
that
there.
U
If
necessary
and
I
only
ask
that,
because
I
know
most
of
our
requests
to
force
around
any
of
our
code,
violations
is,
is
complaint
driven
and
so
I
would
imagine
even
in
these
situations
that
are
happening
around
the
city,
that
somebody
is
calling
and
so
in
the
same
way
a
resident
calls
about
a
neighbor.
You
know
party
in
their
their
yard.
Couldn't
we
just
say
hey?
Can
you
stick
around?
U
You
know
to
provide
witness
to
this
in
the
same
way,
we
would
if
a
neighbor
called
about
a
noise
issue
in
that
Ward,
so
just
a
question
to
me
that
they
they
seem
very
much
so
similar
and
and
which
is
why
I'm
trying
to
see
why
it
seems
like
both
are
kind
of
treated
a
little
differently,
but
those
questions
are
those
responses
are
helpful.
Thank
you,
Sergeant.
Thank
you.
C
So
I
guess
I
I'd
like
to
sort
of
ask
for
a
little
map
of
the
territory
here
and
just
to
make
sure
I
understand
what's
happening.
This
is
something
that
is
a
referral
made
by
councilmember
Reed.
There
was.
It
was
made
clear
several
Council
meetings
ago
that
there
was
a
disagreement
between
the
police
department
and
the
council
member
about
what
the
best
course
of
action
was
there
was.
C
C
A
councilman
producer,
I
can
name
you
it's
you
right
there,
which
is.
Is
that
like
an
attempt
to
so
so?
That's
an
attempt
to
close
the
loop
and
get
this
done
is.
Does
the
is
the
police
department
supportive
of
this,
as
it
would
be
amended
by
councilmember
nusma
I?
Don't
put
you
guys
in
the
spot
because
it
feels
like
there's
like
a
an
added
Dimension
to
the
negotiation
in
the
11th
hour,
but
I
think
it
might
be
helpful
to
all
of
us
to
hear
both
from
council
member
Reed
and
the
police
department.
R
On
behalf
of
the
police
department,
that
Amendment
would
close
the
loop
we've
made
really
good
progress
with
every
other
portion
of
this
ordinance,
and
that
is
the
only
remaining
sticking
point.
G
Your
thoughts
on
this
situation,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
so
yeah
I
I
do
agree
that
it
closes
the
loop.
Obviously
the
police
department
said
to
themselves.
So
suddenly
it
closes
that
Loop.
You
know
again.
This
wasn't
a
the
main
focus
of
my
initial
referral,
but
since
we're
here,
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
clean
this
up
and
again.
I
I
want
us
to
focus
on,
and
just
if
I
can
ask
a
quick
question
of
Sergeant
Sophia.
G
If
someone,
if
you
witness
a
open
container
of
alcohol
and
you
approach
someone
and
they're
not
consuming
it
in
front
of
you,
would
an
open
container
of
alcohol
and
the
appearance
of
intoxication
be
sufficient
for
you
to
initiate
a
field
sobriety
test
or
some
other
method,
to
determine
whether
someone
is
publicly
intoxicated
and
then
enforce
that
law
against
the
person.
R
G
Saying
that
someone,
it
has
an
open
container
of
alcohol
and
they
are
exhibiting
behavior
that
they
are
publicly
intoxicated,
which
would
then
lead
to.
They
actually
are
a
disturbance
to
the
public.
Would
that
be
sufficient
for
you
to
initiate
a
test
and
then
hold
them
accountable
for
the
public
intoxication.
C
G
You
could
okay
so
on
this
again,
what
I'm,
imagining
here
and
why
I
think
specifically
the
language
around
the
sidewalks
and
the
highways.
It
would
then
turn
this
into.
G
And
if
we
are
going
to
and
I'm
close
here
two
seconds,
if
we
are
going
to
say
that
we're
going
to
turn
a
blind
eye
to
all
the
folks
walking
out
of
wine
goddess
and
all
the
folks
walking
out
of
other
places
with
their
open
containers
of
alcohol,
but
we're
only
going
to
enforce
it
against
certain
people,
then
we
are
inherently
creating
a
law
that
just
creates
a
class
or
caste
system
and
discriminates
against
people
who
are
in
who
are
from
a
culture
role,
background
or
economic
background
that
we
don't
see
as
belonging
to
this
community,
while
turning
a
blind
eye
to
that
same
behavior
and
folks
that
we
think
fit
whatever.
K
G
C
C
I
C
G
C
F
C
Eight
voting
in
favor
and
one
voting
against
the
motion
carries
an
item.
An
ordinance
13-0-23,
as
amended,
has
been
passed
for
introduction.
We'll
see
it
here
once
again
through
three
weeks
from
today.
This
brings
us
to
item
SP2,
which
is
a
presentation
of
discussion
with
someone
care
to
make
a
motion
to
enable
that
discussion
to
begin
I.
C
X
Interim
community
development
director
I,
wouldn't
call
it
a
full
presentation,
it's
just
a
summary
of
where
we
are
and
a
chart
that
got
kind
of
misaligned
in
the
packet.
So
it's
probably
pretty
hard
to
read
when
we
were
looking
at
the
last
meeting
of
last
year
in
December,
we
had
a
number
of
things
potentially
coming
to
city
council
for
arpa
funds
and
if
we
had
approved
them
all
the
ones
that
were
on
were
potentially
on
that
agenda,
we
would
have
allocated
more
funding
than
we
actually
have.
X
So
we
had
to
take
a
little
bit
of
a
brief
stop
since
that
time.
One
of
the
the
largest
of
the
requests
which
was
from
the
reparations
committee,
was
withdrawn,
so
that
actually
has
given
the
council
some
flexibility
on
what
to
do
with
the
remaining
funding
and
I
think
it's
important
to
get
your
feedback
at
this
time
before
we
bring
anything
back
to
city
council.
X
So
a
real
quick
summary.
We
have
an
unallocated
balance
of
five
million
751
423
dollars
the
remaining
projects
or
programs
that
are
in
the
pipeline.
If
you
will
our
500
and
they're
in
two
categories
in
negative
economic
impact
and
the
one
is
in
replacement,
Revenue
negative
economic
impact
includes
550
000
for
Holland
free
foods
that
went
through
the
economic
development
committee
and
was
coming
to
council
for
approval.
X
That
was
it's
a
significant
new
manufacturing
facility
that
would
create
not
only
food
that
is
free
of
the
top
14
allergens
for
people
who
need
that,
but
would
also
generate
approximately
50
jobs,
and
the
company
is
very
con
much
working
to
higher
low-income
people
who
do
not
have
great
job
opportunities.
X
So
that's
that
from
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
Committee
is
a
500
000
request
for
the
small
and
medium
landlord
assistance
program
that,
in
addition,
there's
a
fifty
eight
thousand
dollar
request
for
the
Mather
Workforce
Development
program,
which
I
believe
still
needs
to
go
through
Economic
Development
and
then
the
last
item,
which
is
not
under
Economic
Development
or
under
negative
economic
impact,
is
a
consideration
of
purchasing
Meridian
barriers
for
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Department.
X
They
are
movable
barriers
that
can
be
used
when
there's
activities
in
the
streets
and
can
withstand
cars
and
vehicles
trying
to
possibly
run
into
the
crowd.
X
That
request
is
six
hundred
and
twelve
thousand
822
dollars
the
reason,
even
though
we
could
argue
that
it
could
go
under
negative
economic
impacts
if
it
were
helping
with
street
fairs,
and
things
like
that
in
summer
is,
it
would
be
considered
a
Capital
Equipment
investment
and
treasury
won't
give
approval
in
advance
like
you're
supposed
to
get
if
you're
buying
Capital
Equipment,
so
we
just
would
recommend
putting
that
under
replacement
Revenue.
X
So
those
are
the
things
that
were
pending.
If
you
will,
staff
has
a
couple
things
we
would
like
Council
to
consider.
One
is
investing
in
affordable
housing,
one
of
the
primary.
X
Needs
that
was
identified
throughout
the
community
outreach
Housing
and
Community
Development
Committee
did
review
a
request
for
funding
for
the
44
unit
project
at
1815,
Church
Street
and
a
proposal
will
be
coming
forward
to
council.
There
are
two
possible
ways
to
fund
that
one
is
using
a
combination
of
affordable
housing,
fund
money
and
Tiff.
X
X
One
of
the
ways
of
funding
excuse
me
would
be
using
a
million
out
of
the
affordable
housing
fund
and
a
million
five
out
of
the
Tiff,
but
because
of
the
availability
of
arpa
and
the
change
in
the
from
the
final
rule,
which
originally
said
you
couldn't
do
long-term
loans,
that's
been
fixed,
they
actually,
the
reason
treasury
did
not
want
long-term
loans.
Was
treasury
does
not
plan
on
monitoring
this
program
after
the
end
of
the
performance,
which
is
the
end
of
2026,
but
Treasury
and
HUD
got
together
and
they
figured
wow.
X
So
that's
one
of
the
staff
proposals
to
think
about
and,
of
course,
the
formal
request
would
be
coming
at
a
later
date
following
it
it
getting
through
its
entitlement
process,
business
district
improvements
we
just
heard
from
Paul
about
the
need
to
actually
Implement
some
of
the
recommendations
of
that
study
and
with
a
particular
focus
on
some
of
the
small
business
districts
in
our
lower
income.
X
Neighborhoods,
the
Hill
Arts
business
district,
Church,
dot,
Amber,
Church,
Dodge,
Emerson
and
also
Howard
Street
East
of
Asbury,
but
that
doesn't
preclude
also
looking
at
the
downtown
which
is
critical.
So
those
are
the
things
we
would
propose
or
suggest
that
be
considered.
X
C
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
really
very
helpful
summary.
Are
there
any
questions?
Council,
member
sufferton.
S
Yeah,
hey
Sarah,
we've
talked
about
the
potential
of
city-wide
crosswalk
improvements.
What
would
we
have
to
do
to
make
that
potentially
arpa
eligible?
Would
it
have
to
be
Citywide?
Would
it
have
to
like
what?
What
would
be
the
way
to
do
that?
That.
X
X
You
know
the
addressing
the
needs
of
disinvested
neighborhoods,
the
qcts,
that
sort
of
thing
and
putting
the
rest
of
them
under
replacement
revenue,
or
we
could
put
the
whole
thing
under
replacement
Revenue.
If
that
would
that
were
easier,
there's
a
possibility
we
could
put
it
under.
X
S
T
You
Mr
Mayor
and
thank
you
Sarah
for
for
managing
this
extremely
complicated
process,
I'm,
not
sure
how
many
pages
of
federal
regulations
you
now
know
by
heart,
yeah,
but
we're
up
there
in
the
thousands
I'm
sure.
T
So
if
you're,
asking
for
feedback
and
and
my
feedback
is
kind
of
in
alignment
with
what
you're
recommending
but
I
would
emphasize
business
district
improvements
particularly
downtown
and
the
main
Dempster
mile
as
areas
of
particular
concern
to
the
not
only
the
fourth
ward,
but
you
know
downtown
is-
is
for
everybody
in
Evanston.
So
it's
not
just
a
four
forward
issue
and
hopefully
the
other
downtown
council
members
would
back
me
up
on
that.
T
T
So,
let's
just
make
sure
we're
tapping
all
sources
of
revenue
and
using
arpa
where
there
might
not
otherwise
be
Revenue
and
one
last
pitch
for
for
carp
and
climate
action,
whatever
we
can
do
whatever
we
do
in
whatever
category
needs
to
keep
carp
in
mind,
and
if
there
are
some
more
direct
ways,
we
can
use
the
remaining
our
funds
directly
towards
climate
towards
plummet.
Action
I
would
be
in
favor
of
that
as
well.
X
One
other
note:
there
is
a
lot
going
on
in
participatory
budgeting
and
we
don't
know
yet
what
requests
are
going
to
be
coming
out
of
there
now
remember
our
allocation
deadline,
but
we
have
to
have
it
in.
Writing
is
the
end
of
2024,
so
it
isn't
absolutely
imperative
that
everything
be
allocated
either.
I
just
want
to
bring
that
up,
and
even
though
there
is
Tiff
funding,
there
are
also
a
lot
of
Demands
on
the
Tiff
that
can't
be
funded
with
arpa.
So
it's
it's
a
balancing
act.
G
You
so
I
want
to
be
one
also
I.
Just
first
want
to
add
my
thanks
to
the
course
here
for,
for
you
and
all
the
work
they've
done
to
manage
this
really,
what
could
be
a
full-time
position
in
and
of
itself?
In
fact,
we
interviewed
somebody
who
had
this
as
a
full-time
position
for
city
manager
and
you're,
taking
this
on
on
top
of
the
duties
that
you
already
have
so
so
thank
you
for
for
bearing
that
for
us
all.
G
So
with
that
I
do
have
a
few
questions,
so
I
was
just
having
a
conversation
with
one
of
my
colleagues
in
the
aldermanic
library
and
I
want
to
verify
a
few
things
since
they're,
not
in
here
so
with
the
health
department
there
is.
We
gave
about
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
the
health
department
for
contact
tracing,
correct.
G
And
then,
on
top
of
that
wire
going
to
the
other
spreadsheet
also,
you
know
we
gave
your
department
I,
believe
or
or
someone
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
that's
the
900
000
number
to
hire
I
believe
a
consultant
to
help
and
so
and
I,
don't
believe.
We've
used
that
so
has
that
funding
been
returned
to
the
pot
there
as
well.
X
So
here's
the
unshrunk
down
version,
so
you
can
see
that
up
at
the
well.
We
need
to
go
back
to
the
first
page.
That's
the
second
page
of
the
there
we
go.
We
have
youth
violence,
Interruption
and
the
living
room.
M
X
Underneath
public
health,
so
that's
why
it's
that
total
and
then
you
can
see
the
negative
economic
impacts,
things
that
are
already
in
there.
There's
the
guaranteed
income
aspire
Magaw
YMCA
One-Stop
shop,
and
that
one
is
that
weird
split,
because
it's
really
a
million,
but
half
of
it
is
put
under.
G
G
X
No
that's
on
the
second
page
there
it
is
Administration
and
other,
and
so
that
is
a
million
in
there
there's
900
000,
which
is
for
Staffing,
which
is
various
people
who
are
actually
working,
including
some
of
the
participatory
budgeting
people,
and
then
there
is
also
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
for
the
Northwestern
contract.
That
is
the
participatory
budgeting
structure.
If
you.
G
Will
my
understanding
and
is
that
participatory
budgeting
was
to
be
paid
for
out
of
the
and
Matt
and
I
sat
down
and
did
the
budget
together
that
that
that
would
be
paid
for
out
of
the
500
000
that
we
set
aside
for
participatory
budgeting?
We
put
3.5
aside,
500
000
was
for
administration
and
then
the
rest
of
it
for
the
actual
funding
and
I
mean
heck
I.
X
Is
there
is
a
500
000
of
the
three
and
a
half
million
There
is
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
is
right,
above
that
it's
always
hard
to
see
on
this
right
above
the
reddish
one,
which
is
the
murdering
variant
barriers
that.
B
X
The
direct
costs
we
put
the
Staffing
actually
under
the
arpa
administration
and
the
500
000
right
now
is
all
of
the
other
ancillary
costs
which.
B
G
I
would
also
assume
that
you
know
when
Matt
and
I
went
through
the
budget.
I
specifically
wanted
him
to
create
one
where
everything
was
self-contained
within
the
500,
000
and
I.
Think
if
we're
going
to
take
the
money
from
I
mean
it's,
you
know
one
of
one
or
another,
but
we're
gonna.
Take
it
from
the
900
000.
There
will
be
money
left
over
in
in
the
500
000
for
arpa,
or
you
know,
vice
versa
side.
Just.
B
G
Okay,
so
that's
that
is
helpful
and
then
lastly,
I
will
close
out
here
with
response
to
some
of
my
colleagues
the
one
before
maybe
only
one
one
before,
but
you
know,
I
we've
given
we've
paid
quite
a
bit
of
attention
with
arpa
dollars
to
our
downtown
we've,
given
millions
and
millions
to
businesses,
both
downtown
and
just
business,
the
business
Community
generally.
G
G
G
Would
like
us
to
look
at
using.
You
know,
if
not
the
entire
balance,
a
good
portion
of
the
balance
at
actually
supporting
the
creation
of
new,
affordable
units
in
our
city,
which
we
have
not
done
to
this
point,
and
we
know
that
one
of
the
largest
impacts
of
the
pandemic
was
around
housing
and
not
just
the
Energy
Efficiency
of
housing,
but
around
people
actually
having
housing
to
to
live
in
and
so
I
think.
It
would
be
a
shame
if
we
got
through
this
entire
process
of
spending.
X
Q
Hi
Sarah,
so
as
one
of
the
newcomers
I
know,
I
wasn't
around
for
the
giving
up
of
of
the
funds
and
and
the
different
amounts
for
the
different
categories
I
was
wondering.
Has
there
been
consideration
to
possibly
spend
more
towards
the
public
health
I
know?
You
know
we
have
violence
prevention
there,
but
that's
I
just
wanted
to
chime
in
and
say
that.
That's
something
I
think
we
could
probably
spend
more
money
on
I
know
I've
gotten
some
feedback
from
people
that
you
know
the
pandemic.
Q
X
We
haven't
had
any
specific
requests
coming
forward,
but
we
know
that
Mental
Health
Services
are
continuing
need
and
we
would
have
to
think
about
how
to
best.
You
know
what,
where
the
gaps
are
in
our
services,
I
think
that's
something
that
the
social
services
committee
might
be
able
to
provide
some
insight
onto.
Q
And
I
have
one
last
final
thought
on
that:
if
and
is
there
if
there
are
any
things
that
we've
funded
so
far,
that
we've
seen
that
could
use
we've
seen
it's
working
and
it
could
use
more
funds.
I
think
that'd
be
useful
for
us
to
know
like
which
one
of
these
programs
are
like.
This
has
done
great.
You
know.
Maybe
we
should.
You
know,
use
some
more
money
towards
that.
C
Would
you
mind
if
I
give
a
little
addition
to
that
answer
as
well?
Councilmember
I,
don't
know
that
we
can
say
that
this
is
yet
up
and
running
and
working
great,
but
one
area
that
I
think
is
a
responsive
to
both
parts.
Both
of
your
questions
is
the
living
room.
C
Where
we've
been
very
conservative
about
asking
for
more
than
necessary,
because
we've
been
really
aggressive
about
seeking
external
sources
of
support
and
successful
to
some
extent,
things
in
large
part
to
congresswoman
and
commissioner
sufferton
and
hopefully
more
to
come,
but
depending
on
how
some
of
those
pending
asks
go.
That
may
be
an
area
that
we
will
need
to
come
back
and
ask
the
council
for
some
further
support.
F
Mayor
Biz,
thank
you
very
much
for
that
comment
about
the
living
room,
because
certainly
we
do
want
to
be
able
to
move
forward
with
that
and
we
are
needing
to
complete
our
fundraising
budget
in
order
to
be
able
to
move
really
move
forward
with
the
renovations
that
need
to
happen
to
the
the
house
itself.
So
that
would
be
a
high
priority.
F
I
appreciate
council
member
Harris's
comments
about
mental
health,
dovetails
also
with
the
living
room
and
probably
I'm,
going
to
just
defer
to
council
member
Harris,
who
I'm
glad
to
see
has
you
know,
put
her
light
on
too,
because
the
there
have
been
a
number
of
recent
funding
requests
from
the
west
side,
west
Evanston,
Tiff
and
I'm
concerned
that
there's
not
going
to
be
any
funds
left
for
projects
that
you
I
believe
have
in
mind.
So
I
I
would
support
taking
arpa
funds
for
that
segment
of
the
hodc
project.
H
I
know
Tiff
came
up,
but
we
understand
that
the
tiffs
have
underperformed
and
that
it
is
not
that
it's
not
it's
not
as
much
money
as
we
had
once
thought
and
hoped
it
would
be
so
I
want
us
to
take
that
into
consideration.
As
my
fellow
council
member
said,
and
that
there
are
some
projects,
hopefully
on
the
horizon,
that
would
have
some
additional
funding
dollars
to
help
support.
H
There
was
a
time
gap
between
when
the
seat
was
filled,
so
there
were
some
projects
that
were
there
and
I'm
hoping
to
be
able
to
catch
up
and
really
support
and
do
some
Innovative
things
in
the
second
ward.
So
thank
you.
Y
507
000
for
contact
tracing
or
like
the
900
000,
that
for
transparency,
yeah
I'm,
not
sure
that
that's
reflected
there
and
I
think
that
need
we
need
to
vote
on
how
we
reallocate
that
I.
Don't
think
it's
sort
of,
like
you
know,
should
be
just
necessarily
sort
of
water
seeking
its
own
level
where
it
it
doesn't
get
spent
and
and
we're
spending
it
on
something
else
without
realizing
that
we
are
reallocating.
Y
X
That
was
actually
discussed
at
the
September
meeting
and
we
said
that
the
money
was:
you
know
that
the
the
Health
Department
did
not
see
that
they
needed
that
money.
So
it
was
returned,
so
it
was
sort
of
returned
to
the
unallocated
pot.
So
in
essence
you
have
the
ability
to
do
that
and
have
been
doing
that.
Y
I'm,
sorry
I
just
don't
think
that
that
was
ever
I.
Don't
recall
that
I
know
I
emailed
back
and
forth,
with
Mr
okpo
and
towards
the
end
of
the
year
or
the
start
of
the
next.
This
year,
I
think
was
towards
the
end
of
last
year
and
he
only
just
determined
I
mean
I
I,
just
I,
don't
think
that
was
brought
to
our
attention.
I
think
it's
you
know
just
like
the
900
000
for
the
I
think
it
should
be
explicitly
stated.
This
has
been
returned
so
that
we
are
re-allocating
those
specific
funds.
Y
U
U
That's
that's
come
out
of
it
and
a
lot
of
the
health
disparities
and
inequities
kind
of
center,
around
specific
census
tracts
around
the
community
and
after
looking
at
that
I
know
we
it's
something
we
need
to
do
every
five
years
and
which
is
why
we,
you
know,
submitted
the
e-plan,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
weren't
and
I
and
and
also
our
health
director,
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
we
don't
stop
there.
U
We
don't
just
have
this
report
and
and
not
have
a
response
to
it,
and
so
for
the
last
several
weeks,
kind
of
been
organizing
with
our
health
director
I
reached
out
to
him
initially
and
then
we've
pulled
in
director
flags
and
some
community
members
to
talk
about
developing
an
intervention,
similarly
structured
at
least
initially
to
the
universal
basic
income
or
guaranteed
income
program,
where
we
will
put
together
a
cohort
of
community
members
who
are
affected
by
kind
of
chronic
illnesses
that
were
identified
in
the
e-plan
and
and
we
would
take
them
through
a
pilot,
a
year-long
pilot
that
doesn't
just
focus
on
one
aspect
to
get
healthier.
U
But
it
focuses
on
both
nutrition
but
also
Fitness
and
mental
health,
and-
and
this
would
include
members
of
our
community
from
impacted
census
tracts,
but
also
include
members
from
outside
those
census
tracks.
We
talked
about
also
wanting
to
set
aside
some
slots
for
young
members
of
our
community
and
so
potentially
setting
aside
some
some
slots
in
this
cohort
to
include
families
so
that
families
are
finding
ways
to
get
healthier
together
and
I'm
really
excited
about
this.
It's
something
we've
been
working
on
so
I
I.
U
Would
we
are
preparing
a
request
at
some
point.
We
haven't
identified
funds
yet,
but
I
think
surface
funds,
but
I
think
arpa
will
make
a
ton
of
sense
since
at
least
for
part
of
it,
maybe
all
of
it.
But
I
just
wanted
to
respond
to
your
what
you
said.
U
We
are
working
on
something
I,
think
it's
exciting
and
we'll
we'll
get
a
lot
of
information
we'll
be
able
to
track
its
progress
by
creating
a
cohort
and
really
being
able
to
to
track
how
people
are
progressing
with
their
health
and
I.
Think
we
we
all
came
together
to
want
to
put
something
together
that
at
the
end
of
it,
really
truly
makes
people
healthier
and
and
and
puts
them
on
path
to
doing
that.
C
Thank
you
see
no
further
questions
Sarah
again.
Thank
you
very
much
for
all
your
work
and
we
look
forward
to
continued
discussion
and
work
on
this
important
topic.
This
brings
us
to
the
consent
agenda.
C
C
G
Yes,
I'd,
like.
K
G
I
move
the
consent
agenda,
minus
the
items
that
were
removed.
C
C
With
nine
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against
the
motion
carries
and
items
the
consent
agenda,
with
the
exception
of
the
seven
items
just
mentioned
passes.
This
brings
us
to
item
A1
council
member
Kelly.
Would
you
care
to
make
a
motion
here.
Y
Sure
I'd
like
to
move
item
A1
approval
of
the
City
of
Evanston
payroll
and
Bill's
list.
C
B
C
Excuse
me
folks,
sorry,
pardon
me:
councilmember
Kelly
moves
approval
of
the
payroll
and
Bill's
list
council
member.
When
seconds
is
there
any
discussion
seeing
none
with
a
clerk?
Please
take
the
role.
G
T
K
C
With
eight
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against
them,
one
abstention.
The
motion
passes
and
the
payroll
and
bills
list
is
approved.
This
brings
us
to
item
a13
council
member
Kelly.
Oh.
Y
I'd
like
to
move
item
a13
resolution
6-1-23
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
the
collective
bargaining
agreement
between
the
City
of
Evanston
and
Evanston
Police
sergeants
Association
affiliated
with
Illinois
Fraternal,
Order,
police,
labor,
Council
and
item
A14
resolution
7-r-23
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
the
collective
bargaining
agreement
between
the
City
of
Evanston
and
Illinois
Fraternal
Order
of
Police.
Second,.
C
G
Yeah
I,
just
since
we
have
our
representatives
from
our
Police
Department
here,
I
just
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
service,
and
this
I
think
was
an
easy
choice
for
the
entire
Council
to
move
forward
with
pay
raises
particularly
understanding
that
we
are
not
in
alignment
with
some
of
our
neighbors
and
our
neighbors
do
not
have
the
same
complications
that
we
do
here.
G
Both
one
of
the
I
think
and
we're
a
community
that
is,
is
asking
a
lot
of
our
officers.
We're
asking
officers
to
be
on
the
front
line
of
a
new
model
of
policing,
and
particularly
for
folks
who've,
been
here
for
a
long
time.
G
I
understand
that
that
can
be
difficult,
but
I'm
glad
that
folks,
that
are
here
in
chief
steward
and
and
others
are
embarking
on
that
Journey
with
us
and
and
and
and
doing
the
best
that
they
can
we're
all
trying
to
do
the
best
that
we
can
and
so
and
I.
Just.
Lastly,
just
want
to
note
again
the
the
difficulty
here,
both
again
like
I
said,
with
the
diversity
of
our
community
racially
economically,
but
also
you
know-
and
this
happened
a
bit
before
my
term,
but
we've
had
some
really
traumatic.
G
Violent
events
happen
here,
where
officers
responded,
quick
and
without
hesitation
and
while
I'm
fortunate
that
I'll
never
have
to
witness
that
or
watch
the
body
cam
video.
This
is
something
that
officers
here
lived
and
no
amount
of
paid
can
compensate
for
that.
But
what
I
think
we
can
do
here
is
just
show
that
we
value
the
police
department
by
increasing
the
salaries
that
maybe
for
negotiations
another
time
I
shouldn't
say
this,
but
I
think
you
know
our
our
officers
here
maybe
even
deserve
more,
but
this
is
a
good
first
step.
G
Will
move
item
H1,
ordinance,
2023
amending
the
city
code,
creating
title
12
consumer
protections,
chapter
1
cash
list
establishments
prohibited.
S
All
right
council
member
suffered
in
yeah
same
question
from
last
time.
Does
anybody
know
how
many
businesses
are
cashless
now
and
just
Sue,
not
to
put
you
on
the
spot?
Do
you
have
any
idea
what
the
unbanked
population
of
Evanston
is
I
mean
people
who
this
would
be
a
Difference
Maker.
S
Sorry,
Sue
I
just
thought
you
might
know
it
off
top
of
your
head.
Okay,
then
stay
where
you
are
okay,
I
guess.
If
Paul
zamzak's
still
here,
I
mean
if
somebody
could
just
tell
me
how
many
businesses
are
cashless,
if
we've
done
any
research
on
that,
we
heard
from
one
guy
I
heard
from
another
business.
S
E
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
members
of
the
council,
councilmember
suffering
I,
don't
have
an
exact
number.
There
are
we
know
of
a
handful,
including
Mr
Moy,
who
who
presented
he
owns
Vietnam
a
picnic
actually
doesn't
have
a
point
of
sale
system
in
their
space.
You
order
food
on
an
app,
they
don't
take
credit
cards
or
cash
on
site.
You
walk
in
and
walk
out
of
their
salad,
I
think
that's
a
growing
Trend.
We
haven't
done
a
survey.
We
haven't
really
engaged
outside
of
informal
questioning.
Z
Yeah
I'm
still
all
back
with
connections
for
the
homeless,
and
we
served
several
hundred
people
each
year
who
live
on
the
street
and
I
would
say
most
of
them
are
not
banked,
and
then
we
also
work
with
lots
of
people
who
you
know.
Thousands
who
call
each
year
needing
help
with
apartments
and
I.
Don't
have
the
percentage
of
how
many
are
banked.
But
I
know
that
that
is
an
issue
with
a
lot
of
them
that
you
know
if
they
want
the
landlord
wants
direct
deposit
or
something
like
that.
It
doesn't.
Z
S
Know
about
okay
I
mean
I'm,
just
trying
to
figure
out
how
many
businesses
were
affecting
how
many
people
were
helping.
If
there's
another
way
to
do
it.
Does
anybody
know
how
much
of
it
costs
to
put
in
one
of
the
machines
that
would
convert
cash
into
a
card
I?
Don't
we
don't
know
that
you
know
it
may
make
sense
if
we're
going
to
pass
this
to
have
the
city
put
those
somewhere
and
we
could
even
Explore
adding
a
bonus
to
it.
S
So,
if
you
put
in
ten
dollars,
you
got
11
worth
of
credit
that
you
could
use
at
a
merchant,
I
mean
I,
just
I,
think
without
any
of
that
information,
it's
irresponsible
to
pass
this.
S
It
may
be
a
good
policy
objective,
but
we
don't
know
who
we're
hurting,
who
we're
helping
and
if
there's
a
better
way
to
do
it,
then
it's
as
proposed
so
I'd
encourage
everyone.
I,
don't
think
anybody
up
here
knows
how
many
businesses
in
their
own
Wards
they
would
be
affecting
and
I
think
they
don't
know
how
many
people
in
their
Awards
they'd
be
helping
and
I.
Think
it's
irresponsible
to
vote
Yes
until
we
have
that
information
at
least.
C
Council
member
Reed,
followed
by
Harris,
followed
by
herakaris,
followed
by
nusma,
followed
by
Revell.
Thank
you
and.
E
C
Just
add
that
those
lights
came
on
at
perfectly
spaced
intervals
during
the
course
of
your
comments,
council
member,
so
you
seem
to
have
hit
several
nerves
in
sequence,
council,
member
Reed,.
G
Yeah
I
I
again
appreciate
council
member
saffordins
questions
there.
You
know
we
don't
have
a
system
for
getting
information
from
every
business,
whether
they're,
cashless
or
not.
You
know
that's
a
difficult
the
best
we
could
do
as
a
survey
and
even
then
we
wouldn't
have
complete
information,
but
we
do
know
that
this
is
a
trend
that
is
growing
more
and
more.
There
are
businesses
like
Amazon
Amazon,
go
that
are
creating
these
cashless
locations
and
other
businesses
and
I
I.
G
Don't
think
nowhere
we're
trying
to
stifle
that
kind
of
innovation
or
are
we
trying
to
you
know
some
folks
say:
make
businesses
less
safe?
As
you
noted,
this
ordinance
allows
for
the
cash
to
card
kiosks
to
be
placed
in
businesses
and
allow
folks
to
continue
to
access
the
services
there
in
a
cashless
manner,
so
that
is
certainly
an
option.
As
for
the
cost,
there
are
many
municipalities
that
have
implemented
this
policy,
one
of
the
biggest
being
new
or
the
biggest
in
America
being
New
York.
G
So
certainly,
this
is
a
growing
Trend
and
these
machines
are
certainly
available,
and
certainly
you
know
available
at
a
a
price
point,
particularly
as
more
and
more
cities
are
doing
this.
That
is,
that
should
not
be
cost
prohibitive.
G
G
Thank
you
so,
and
then,
who
does
this
affect?
Again?
That's
another
statistic:
you
know
these
are
folks
who
are
traditionally
the
least
connected
and
the
least
proximate
to
power
and
to
our
local
government.
So
it's
it's
a
bit
difficult
to
get
at
some
of
these
numbers.
G
But
what
we
do
know
is
that
from
the
ACLU
and
other
folks
who
have
studied
this,
that
you
know
typically
folks
who
are
senior
citizens
folks
who
are
unhoused
folks
who
are
undocumented,
and
so
this
will
impact
those
communities
the
most
and
I
think
you
know
this.
G
This
policy
makes
makes
sense
for
Evanston
makes
sense
for
our
businesses
and
will
not
have
a
negative
impact
on
our
community,
as
it
has
shown
not
to
have
a
negative
impact
on
other
communities
unless
folks
can
show
otherwise
with
these
policies.
So
thank
you.
C
H
So
I
hear
what
you're
saying:
oh
there
we
go,
I
hear
what
you're
saying
and
the
data
I
think
we
could
use
some
data,
but
we
understand
that
Banks
were
created
for
those
who
had
it
that
they're
disenfranchising
payday
loan
businesses
that
we've
put
out
of
town
because
they
prey
on
those
who
can't
get
the
credit
they're.
Looking
at
apis
of
28
to
30
percent,
we
have
banks
at
Fargo
who
have
been
sued
billions
of
dollars
because
they're,
disenfranchising
and
stealing
money
from
people.
H
So
there
are
people
out
there
that
aren't
homeless,
that
just
can't
have
Banks
can't
have
mortgages,
can't
have
checking
accounts
and
credit
cards
because
the
rates
are
too
high.
So
I
want
us
to
be
conscious
of
that
that
it
isn't
just
our
homeless
population.
It's
a
lot
of
disenfranchised
people
and
I
want
us
to
I,
didn't
know
about
the
machines
where
we
could
convert
money.
So
if
those
really
do
exist,
that
may
be
a
way
to
go.
H
But
I,
don't
know
what
those
costs
I
don't
know
what
that
would
cost
the
city,
but
I
think
we
have
to
be
open
to
taking
cash.
People
are
talking
about
a
coin
shortage.
I
have
three
big
water
jugs
anybody
wants
to
change,
they
can
come,
have
it,
but
I
think
we
have
to
be
open
to
allowing
people
to
pay
the
way
in
which
they
can
pay.
Q
So
I'm
in
agreement
that
we
have
to
move
forward
with
the
cashless
ban,
I
I,
do
want
us
to
explore
the
other
opportunities
to
provide
some
services
to
our
unbanked
communities.
Here
in
Evanston,
I
did
a
little
bit
of
research
and
there
are
some
businesses
in
town
where
you
can
load
money
onto
a
prepaid
debit
card.
Q
That
functions
like
a
MasterCard,
but
that's
something
I'd
like
to
see
is
maybe
having
some
some
of
those
stations
where
you
can.
Where
this
you
know,
City
can
provide
a
prepaid
card
or
a
mechanism
to
load
that,
at
you
know,
a
safe,
safe
location.
Like
you
know
the
Civic
Center
or
our
libraries,
but
I
do
agree.
We
have
to
do
some.
We
should
do
some
more
some
more
background
work
to
figure
out
how
to
implement
that.
T
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
as
much
as
I
agree
with
the
underlying
objectives
of
this
ordinance,
I'm
not
prepared
to
vote
for
it
as
it's
currently
presented
to
us
tonight.
As
the
representative
of
the
fourth
ward,
we've
got
a
number
of
small
businesses
who
have
expressed.
You
know
serious
concern
with
this
ordinance,
including
small
businesses,
where
it's
for
the
most
part,
a
sole
proprietorship.
We
have
one
person,
often
a
woman
in
the
building
and
for
reasons
of
safety.
T
They
are
reluctant
to
reluctant
to
handle
cash,
and
that
does
not
even
get
into
the
covet
era
impact
of
of
going
cashless
for
for
public
health
reasons.
So
I'm
not
prepared
to
move
forward
with
this
because
of
the
impact
it
would
put
on
on
small
businesses
absent
if
fully
demonstrated,
you
know
kind
of
quantitative
analysis.
Analysis
of
what
the
actual
impact
is
one
way
I
could
get
to
yes
on.
T
This
is
if
we
were
to
exempt
small
businesses
in
a
similar
manner,
to
what
we've
proposed
for
the
bag
tax
and
make
sure
this
that
grocery
stores
and
pharmacies,
for
example,
were,
were
not
able
to
be
cashless
but
they're
already.
They
already
accept
cash,
and
so
is
this:
why
make
up
a
law
to
treat
a
problem
that
doesn't
exist
in
that?
In
that
case,
so
I'm
not
sure
that's
the
best
solution,
but
I
am
not
prepared
to
vote
for
H1
as
it
is
tonight.
F
The
comments
from
council
member
nusma
I
I
do
sympathize
with
the
need
to
you
know,
make
sure
that
you
know
people
are
unbanked
residents
have
an
opportunity
to
to
shop
and
purchase
what
they
need.
I
I
would
be
interested
in
the
idea
of
at
least
starting
with
grocery
stores
and
pharmacies
and
those
larger
establishments
which
I
think
probably
aren't
aren't
going.
Cashless.
F
It's
because
I
guess
I
regret
that
we
didn't
have
more
conversation
with
our
business
Community
before
I
came
to
council.
Y
I
would
like
to
see
some
of
that
data.
You
know
I'm
just
to
have
to
have
a
sense
as
to
where
we're
at
as
a
city
with
regard
to
that
with
regard
to
the
numbers,
even
the
businesses
that
don't
don't
use
cash
are
those
are,
would
those
be
accessed
otherwise
by
those
who
are
unbanked
so
I
I
do
think
that
the
data
would
be
interesting
to
see
and
worthwhile.
Thank
you.
W
Yes,
thank
you,
like
several
other
council
members
up
here,
I've
heard
from
a
number
of
small
businesses
in
the
Third
Ward
who
do
operate
in
a
cashless
way
and
would
or
would
like
to
because
they
find
that
it
would
save
them
time.
They
are
sole
Proprietors
and
they
would
feel
a
greater
sense
of
safety.
So,
like
several
others,
I'm
not
comfortable
with
this.
S
Don't
I
don't
need
all
three
minutes,
I'm
just
gonna
say
once
again
voting
yes
without
complete
information
in
a
city
full
of
vacancies
and
struggling
businesses
that
have
GoFundMe
campaigns
is
irresponsible.
Voting
us
tonight
is
an
irresponsible
vote.
Voting
yes,
once
we
have
complete
information
might
be
the
right
thing
to
do,
but
voting
yes
tonight
is
irresponsible.
S
So
whoever
votes
yes
tonight,
I
appreciate
your
adherence
to
your
moral
compass
or
whatever
is
driving
to
do
it,
but
you're
not
doing
it
based
on
any
information
or
any
sound
policy
basis.
So
again,
a
yes
vote
tonight
is
irresponsible.
A
yes
vote
later
might
be
the
right
thing
to
do,
but
a
vote
tonight.
That
is
a
yes
on.
This
is
irresponsible.
C
G
Yeah
well,
I
I,
again
appreciate
that
some
point
I
think
a
no
vote
is
irresponsible.
We
can
put
it
both
ways.
I
mean
a
no
vote,
means
that
they're
seniors
that
they're
unhoused
people
that
they're
undocumented
people
who
will
not
be
able
to
access
the
same
Goods
as
other
folks,
simply
because
they're
unbanked
again
and
understand
the
concern
of
folks
who
want
more
data,
but
I
mean
we
will
never
have
the
exact
number
of
businesses
in
Evanston
that
are
cashless,
because
it
is
an
unattainable
number.
G
Unless
we
went
to
every
single
business
and
asked
them
what
it
was,
it
best
will
have
anecdote
and
we
know
that
it
exists
here
and
we'll
again
never
have
the
information
on
how
many
folks
are
unbanked.
Now
there
are
estimates
that
we
can
get
based
on
National
averages,
and
you
know
so:
that's
you
know
something
attainable,
but
the
ACLU
and
other
organizations
have
done
a
lot
of
research
on
this.
Is
council
member,
when
noted,
they're
many
cities
and
even
a
whole
state
who
have
implemented
this.
G
This
ordinance,
that
is
before
us,
was
pulled
exactly
from
New
York.
So
if
you
want
to
know
what
measures
they
have
in
place,
this
is
it.
This
is
what
they
have
in
place
to
ensure
that
there
is
an
adverse
effect
and
and-
and
there
has
been
nothing
to
show
and
the
folks
who
are
against
this
have
been.
You
know
this
has
been
talked
about
for
weeks.
G
Where
is
the
the
data,
the
research,
the
report,
anything
that
shows
that
this
will
have
a
negative
impact
that
there's
an
increase
in
crime
that
there's
an
increase
and
and
and
and
robberies
again
we
we
live
in
the
United
States
of
America
folks
should
be
able
to
use
American
current
currency
in
order
to
access
Goods
in
our
country,
and
the
fact
that
folks
are
being
more
and
more
forced
into
the
banking
institution
is
not
something
that
you
know.
G
Many
cities
across
our
nation
are
standing
for
and
not
something
that
this
city
should
stand
for,
and
so
I
urge
us
to
continue
with
a
yes
vote
here,
and
you
know
if
there's
data
that
folks
want,
which
is
anecdotal
at
best
we
can
get
that,
but
I
think
we
need
to
move
this
forward.
C
Council
member
nusma,
with
three
minutes
and
20
seconds
left.
T
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
think
there
is
a
way
to
get
to
yes,
if
what
I'm
hearing
from
council
members
who
have
expressed
opinions
similar
to
mine,
so
not
a
motion
yet
but
I'm
wondering,
if
enabled
to
allow
us
to
get
to.
Yes,
if
we
refer
this
perhaps
to
the
economic
development
committee
to
take
a
look
at
so
we
can
get
some
more.
You
know
quantitative
input
from
the
business
Community
I'm,
throwing
that
out
as
a
suggestion.
If
somebody
else
has
a
different
idea,
I
would
be
I'll
be
open
to
that.
K
S
C
Council
member
newsma
moves
to
refer
ordinance
to
dash
0-23
to
the
economic
development
committee
council
member
suffered
in
seconds.
C
There's
a
there's
already
a
cue:
four
people
had
put
themselves
in
the
queue
so
the
in
order.
They
were
council
members,
Revell,
Kelly
and
Harris,
and
then
those
who
are
looking
for
a
third
crack.
Our
council
members
suffered
and
read.
So
the
motion
on
the
floor
on
the
motion
before
us
now
is
the
motion
to
refer
this
to
EDC
council
member.
Do
you
want
to
speak
to
that.
F
Well,
since
I
was
struggling
for
an
opportunity
to
do
something
with
this
motion,
I
I,
like
councilmember
newsman's
proposal
and
I,
was
I,
couldn't
quite
hear
council
member
Kelly.
What
did
you
say?
The
finance
committee.
Y
Was
that
we're
going
to
be
discussing
fine,
Financial
inclusion
and
but
I
am
also
interested
when
we
do
if
we
study
this
at
Economic
Development
to
look
at
what
Tom
suggested
potentially
having
available
throughout
the
city?
These
you
know,
I,
don't
know
anything
about
these
apparatuses,
but
it
sounds
like
something
that's
worth
exploring.
F
Y
We'll
be
discussing
this
as
a
topic
at
finance
and
budget.
F
Well,
just
to
wrap
up
I,
my
my
comments
have
been
answered
by
council
member
nuzma
smoke
motion.
C
Okay,
the
council
member
Kelly:
did
you
want
to
okay,
councilman
Harris?
Does
your
your
light
was
on
before.
H
So
335
left
it
won't
take
me
that
long
either.
So
when
dealing
in
Dei
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
you
always
you
are
supposed
to
listen
to
the
people
who
are
telling
you
what
their
needs
are,
and
the
people
that
have
sat
up
here
today
are
people
of
color.
Who've
told
you.
This
is
what's
happening.
This
is
a
reality.
This
isn't
a
make-believe.
This
isn't
what
we
think.
H
I
went
to
a
place
last
Sunday
and
on
the
door.
It
said
no
cash
and
I
was
like.
Oh
they're,
not
gonna,
be
happy
in
a
little
bit,
because
I
was
confident
that
the
city
would
pay
attention
to
people
who
said
that
now,
I
am
personally
not
one
of
those
disenfranchised
at
the
moment,
but
my
family
has
been.
My
friends
have
been
people
that
I,
don't
know
have
been
disenfranchised
by
this
movement.
Is
it
cumbersome
sure?
H
H
E
Councilman
council
member
suffered
and
yes,
we
have
a
the
business
registration.
It's
the
cashless
question
is
not
okay,.
S
S
They
have
to
walk
away
what
what
happens
or
a
business
that
we
saw.
You
know
Portillo's
recently
made
their
drive
through
cashless,
but
their
walk-in
is
cash
available.
Would
that
be
in
compliance
with
this?
It's
not
a
problem
right
now,
because
Portillo's
chose
to
be
in
Skokie,
but
I'm
talking
about
businesses
that
are
here
right
now
that
are
cashless.
How
do
we
help
them?
Because
the
other
option
is
vacancy?
A
vote
on
this
right
now
without
all
the
information
is
a
pro-vacancy
vote
and
that's
something
we
talked
about.
S
That's
a
problem
in
all
of
our
business
districts
and
Alderman.
Harris
I
appreciate
your
interest
in
not
having
this
gone
forever.
I
agree.
That's
why
it
should
never
come
forward
without
complete
information,
but
it
did
so
I
think
you
can
get
to
Economic
Development
coming
back
to
the
council,
with
a
full
understanding
of
how
many
businesses
that
exist
in
Evanston
today
that
we're
affecting
is
the
correct
way
to
do
it.
S
So
if
we
measure
twice
and
cut
once
we're
going
to
come
up
with
a
better
piece
of
legislation,
so
I've
used
my
times
the
first
time,
I've,
probably
spoken
three
times
on
an
issue
in
the
entire
time
I've
been
here
but
I
listened
to
my
colleagues
earlier
tonight.
Talk
about
how
to
circumvent
the
prevailing
wage.
Act
now
they're,
going
to
lecture
me
about
what's
responsible
when
all
I'm
saying
is
make
sure
we
get
this
right,
I'm,
not
even
encouraging
a
no
vote.
I'm
saying
tonight
is
not
the
night
to
vote
Yes
and
I'm
done.
G
All
right
again,
why
is
no
one
asked
I
mean?
Are
we
going
to
send
out
a
survey
to
every
person
in
Evington
to
ask
how
many
people
are
unbanked
again?
Why
is
the
focus
consistently
on
a
certain
class
of
folks
who
are
tend
to
be
business?
Owners
tend
to
be
in
the
more
privileged
class
of
folks
in
our
city.
What
is
this
information
if
we
come
back
and
Paul
sends
out
an
email
to,
however
many
businesses
in
Evanston
and,
however
many
respond
and
tell
us
what
does
that
data
change
for
us?
G
What
is
it
you
know
if
it's
100
businesses
there's
a
thousand
businesses,
there's
three
thousand
I,
don't
know
what
that
data
fundamentally
changes
about
whether
or
not
we
need
to
protect
people
who
are
unbanked
in
our
community
and
and
so,
if
anything,
I
think
this
needs
to
be
kicked
not
just.
If
we're
going
to
kick
this
somewhere,
we
need
to
go
to
the
equity,
empowerment
commission.
G
It
needs
to
have
a
lens
of
folks
who
are
looking
out
for
average
everyday
people
and
not
just
the
interest
of
the
wealthiest
most
connected
folks
in
our
city,
who
tend
to
be
business
owners
in
our
community.
Now
National
averages
show
that
about
4.5
of
Americans
are
unbanked,
so
in
Evanston.
That
means
that
about
3510
folks
are
on
banks
in
our
community.
I
know.
My
time
is,
is
expiring
here.
G
Expired
and
so
I
I,
you
know
if,
if
we're
gonna
kick
this
to
a
committee,
I
urge
a
yes
vote
tonight,
because
I
think
the
information
that
folks
are
looking
for
doesn't
fundamentally
change
anything.
If
anything,
it
gives
those
wealthy
strong
interest.
Another
opportunity
to
keep
the
boot
on
the
next
of
people
who
have
traditionally
been
disenfranchised
and
I'm
not
going
to
stand
for
it.
So
this
needs
to
go
to
I
would
ask
that
if
folks
are
really
concerned
about
this
policy
and
concerned
about
the.
B
C
Thank
you
very
much
council
member
Ravel
with
three
minutes
and
20
seconds
left.
F
The
committee
can
have
a
conversation
with
businesses
about
what
how,
by
going
ahead
and
implementing
this
ordinance
eventually
are
there.
Are
there
things
that
we
need
to
put
in
place
to
you
know
like
investigating
these
cash
for
debit
card
machines,
and
you
know,
is:
is
there
anything
that
we
should
be
doing
as
a
community
to
make
this
change
easier
for
those
businesses?
That,
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
do
want
to
go
cashless
so
I'm
I'm
not
looking
to
hold
this
up
forever.
F
I'm,
just
I'm
looking
for
us
to
have
a
conversation
with
our
business
community
and
proceed
as
thoughtfully
as
possible
and
I.
Think
a
council
member
suffered
and
question
about
because
we
do
have
I,
don't
know
a
handful,
a
couple
of
handfuls
of
businesses
that
are
cashless,
and
so
what
you
know.
How
much
time
are
they
going
to
have
to
adjust?
So
I
have
just
some
questions.
C
S
Yeah
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
refer
this
to
equity
and
empowerment.
Administration
public
works
for
an
investigation
of
how
much
these
machines
cost
and
if
there's
armed
places
in
business
districts
that
are
on
Municipal
property,
where
we
could
install
these
machines
and
economic
development.
V
C
Here's
how
we're
going
to
do
this
council,
member
nusma,
is
recognized
to
replace,
to
withdraw
and
replace
his
motion.
C
T
C
Is
there
a
second
second
council
member
new
Smith
moves
to
this
item?
Be
that
ordinance
2-0-23
be
referred
both
to
the
economic
development
committee
and
the
equity
and
empowerment
commission,
council
member.
When
seconds
and
council
member
reads
yeah,
it's
long
expired,
so
I'm
going
to
give
you
give.
G
You
15
seconds
yes
for
clarity,
I
I
would
love.
If
you
know
folks
are
referring
this
particularly
to
Economic
Development.
What
can
someone
Express
I
understand
that
part
of
it
is
how
many
businesses
can
someone
Express?
You
know
the
list
of
questions
that
you
want
or
the
data
that
you
want
and
and
then
maybe
even
why
why.
B
C
I
think
the
people
have
been
very
clear
about
their
concerns
and
I
think
that,
if
there's,
if
there's
need
for
staff
to
work
with
elected
officials
between
now
and
when
that
hearing
occurs,
that
those
discussions
can
occur
offline.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
this
new
new
motion,
a
council
member
Burns
for
the
first
time
with
the
discussion.
U
Yeah
and
I
was
just
I
really
would
encourage
Paul
to
be
proactive
and
reach
out
to
everybody,
because
I
know
what
councilman
Reed
is
getting
that
this
will
arrive
at
committee
and
we'll
just
be
looking
at
each
other
like
all
right.
What
are
we
going
to
discuss?
We
really
need
to
have
the
data
in
advance
well
in
advance
of
that
meeting,
so
we
can
have
a
productive
discussion
of
Economic,
Development
I
think
I'm
the
chair
next
month
too.
So
that's
10
is
what
I
like,
especially
with
nweb.
We
have
a
lot
of.
U
H
H
I
just
hope
that
we
collectively
inquire
get
the
right
information,
not
just
one-sided,
because,
as
stated
businesses
they're
already
that
disenfranchised
as
much
as
the
people
who
only
have
cash
to
spend
so
I
would
like
to
see
the
information
I,
think
that
is
reasonable
and
to
see
what
that
looks
like
for
those
that
are
disenfranchised
and
willing
to
come
forward
and
say
that
and
those
who
have
businesses
how?
How
does
it
disenfranchise
them?
H
C
G
C
F
F
The
first
part
of
the
meeting
will
be
discussing
the
idea
of
a
special
event
resident
only
parking
Zone
around
the
stadium
and
then
following
that
discussion,
we'll
have
a
sort
of
an
open
discussion
with
residents
about
their
their
comments
about
the
proposed
stadium.
So
that's
for
Tuesday,
January,
31st
and
then
I'm
having
another.
My
fourth
special
topic
meeting
is
Wednesday
February
8th
and
that's
a
zoom
meeting.
There's
a
zoom
link
on
the
City

director
ogbo

believe

have
director
ogbo
there
to
give
some
local
updates
and
just
general
public
health
updates,
particularly
with
rats
and
alleys.
So
looking
forward
to
that.

just
like
to
encourage
everyone

U
Evanston's
redistricting
committee
invites
you
to
participate
in
a
joint,
Fifth,
Ward
and
redistricting
committee
meeting
this
Thursday
January
26th
at
7
pm
to
provide
input
before
the
local
war
boundaries
are
redrawn.
You
can
attend
in
person
at
wowu,
1911,
Church,
Street
or
virtually
the
redistricting
committee
has
decided
to
redraw
the
war
boundaries
to
create
an
electoral
map
that
ensures
each
person's
vote
carries
roughly
the
same
weight
regardless
of
where
they
live.
This
is
particularly
important
because
the
distribution
of
populations
have
changed
over
the
years
in
the
Fifth.
U
Ward
is
roughly
705
people
below
the
average
public
engagement
is
an
important
part
of
the
redistricting
process.
The
committee
is
doing
Ward
specific
listening
sessions
because
of
methodical
and
structured
approach
will
allow
us
to
have
more
productive
discussions,
focusing
on
one
word.
At
