A
B
A
There
is
one
person
that
sadly
I
want
to
acknowledge
because
he
sadly
passed
away
last
week,
and
it
was
a
week
ago
today
that
we
were
actually
up
here
at
the
Dyess
and
talking
about
the
seriousness
of
the
snow
that
we
were
getting
of
the
polar
vortex
and
sadly
Adrienne
Willoughby.
Who
is
a
very
hard-working?
You
know?
Well,
you
know,
sort
of
low-key
but
very,
very
committed
guide
to
affordable
housing.
Here
in
Evanston
was
the
executive
director
of
the
Reba,
Development,
Corporation
and
and
just
a
very,
very
loved
person
in
this
community,
sadly
passed
away.
A
So
I
would
just
ask
us
to
keep
Adrienne's
mom,
Judy,
Adrienne's,
wife,
Cindy
and
all
his
family
and
friends
in
your
hearts
and
in
your
minds
and
in
your
prayers
and
let's,
let's
keep
Adrian
in
mind
as
we
continue
to
embark
on
trying
to
make
out
and
more
affordable
so
that
we
can
continue
to
have
a
diverse
community
here
with
that.
I
want
to
put
a
big
thanks
out
there
to
the
public
work
staff
and
everybody
else
that
worked
really
really
hard
last
last
week
and
we
got
a
I'm
not
going
to
read
it.
A
We
got
a
lovely
unsolicited
email
from
someone
who
really
wanted
to
give
a
shout
out
to
Edgar
who
runs
the
snow
removal
operation
and
the
entire
and
the
entire
staff.
So
thank
you,
everybody
and
thank
you
for
your
patience.
It's
never
easy
when
it's
that
cold
out
or
we
have
that
much
snow,
but
I
think
we
we
did
a
good
job
getting
through
it.
So
thank
you,
mr.
city
manager,
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
the
city
manager.
If
you
have
any
announcements
that.
C
Mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council
good
evening,
let
me
just
echo
the
mayor's
comments.
I
really
want
to
thank
all
the
city
staff
and
the
community
for
their
cooperation.
We
were
able
to
do
was
new,
usually
a
three
day
snow
emergency
in
two
days.
In
order
to
get
everything
picked
up,
so
people
wouldn't
have
to
be
out
in
the
worst
of
the
cold,
we
had
staff
really
from
almost
every
department
police
fire,
Public
Works.
We
had
folks
checking
on
all
of
our
facilities
to
make
sure
the
pipes.
C
Weren't
freezing
3-1-1
worked
a
tremendous
number
of
hours
at
one
point
on
Wednesday
we
had
over
3000
Evanston
residents
without
power,
and
we
were
able
to
work
as
a
good
team
with
Commonwealth
Edison
to
address
those
issues
we'll
be
coming
to
the
council.
On

very
difficult,
I'm.
So
sorry,
thank
you.
A
B
I
have
one
announcement,
a
communication
which
I
will
just
summarize:
we've
received
communication
from
dr.
Crosby,
who
sent
a
letter
to
me
personally,
but
also
sent
a
statement
that
will
be
entered
in
full
on
to
the
record
into
the
minutes
and
in
summary,
it
just
dr.
Crosby
the
states
that
he
would
like
to
see
and
hopes
to
see
the
city
move
forward
with
discussions
around
education
of
officers
and
making
sure
we
address
bias.
The
full
statement
will
be
in
the
minutes
and
so
folks
can
review
that
as
well
as
members
of
the
dais.
A
A
B
Election
is
still
a
bit
away,
but
I
want
to
start
letting
folks
know
that
our
election
page
for
the
city
of
Evanston's
website
is
updated,
and
so
you
can
start
to
find
information
on
candidates
on
forms.
So,
if
you
were
holding
a
forum
in
the
community,
please
inform
the
clerk's
office
and
we'll
make
sure
that
it
gets
on
the
city's
websites.
B
So
folks
can
know
where
they
can
learn
more
about
candidates
for
the
upcoming
school
board
elections
and
for
folks
who
are
sitting
on
the
dice
and
in
the
community
or
in
the
you
know,
in
director
level.
Positions
pretty
soon
you'll
be
filing
your
statements
of
economic
interest
with
the
County
Board
of
Elections,
when
email
will
be
coming
out
in
the
near
future.
For
everyone
remember
to
follow
those.
A
Thank
you,
excellent
Thank,
you
Thank
You,
Clark,
Reid,
okay,
we're
going
to
turn
now
to
public
comment.
We
have
about
twenty
four
people
that
are
signed
up
today
and
I
got
to
pull
it
up
here
for
public
comment,
so
I'm
gonna
ask
if
each
person
can
keep
your
comments,
you
know,
as
everybody
knows,
or
maybe
you
don't
know,
we
set
aside
45
minutes
for
public
comment.
We
take
the
number
of
people
that
would
like
to
speak.
A
We
divide
it
by
45,
so
we're
I'm
gonna
ask
the
city
clerk
who
times
it,
let's
set
it
at
1:45
today
for
folks,
so
you
have
a
minute
and
45
seconds
and
I
just
ask
as
always
just
to
be
respectful
of
the
the
time
of
other
people
that
want
to
come
up
here
and
speak
and
we'll
get
through
this.
So
the
first
three
speakers
and
I
apologize
ahead
of
time
if
I
mispronounce,
anyone's
name
Diana,
Rosinski,
Peter,
Miller
and
Rhea
Friedman.
E
Hi
good
evening
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
an
opportunity
to
speak
I'm
going
to
speak
fast
and
enter
my
comments
into
the
record.
Are
you
support,
affordable
housing
in
Evanston
and
increasing
the
amount
and
I
also
support
the
owner?
Occupancy
requirement
for
ad
use
an
owner
occupancy
requirement
would
in
would
put
the
gentle
and
gentle
density.
The
city
staff
has
prepared
a
memo,
as
information
and
I
suggest
that
that
memo
is
incomplete
and
it
doesn't
include
information
from
many
communities
across
the
country
that
have
an
owner
occupancy
requirement.
E
These
include
Durango
Colorado,
Minneapolis,
San,
Antonio,
Palo,
Alto,
Long,
Beach,
Kirkland,
Montgomery,
County
Maryland
all
have
grappled
with
some
of
the
issues
that
are
raised
in
the
memo,
such
as,
for
example,
estate
planning,
and
how
do
you
include
an
Adu
and
a
trust?
Communities
such
as
Montgomery,
County,
Maryland
and
Palo
Alto
California
think
deeply
about
trusts
and
about
estate
planning,
and
they
have
they've
grappled
with
it
and
they
have
ways
of
dealing
with
it.
E
At
this
point,
I,
don't
think
the
ad
new
ordinances
as
presented
is
really
about
affordability,
but
rather
a
way
of
making
property
that
single-family
into
property
that
up
to
six
unrelated
adults
can
live
in
and
I
urge
the
council
to
support
the
affor,
the
owner
pensee
requirement
to
maintain
some
some
peace
and
tranquility
in
our
neighborhoods.
Thank
you.
F
Mayor
members
of
the
council,
thank
you
for
your
time.
I
support
affordable
housing
in
Evanston
and
I
support
the
Adu
concept,
as
one
means
to
achieve
it.
The
vision
of
afford,
above
the
ad
you
as
as
presented
to
the
public,
has
been
presented
as
a
win-win
situation
for
elderly
folks
who
are
living
a
fixed
income
and
need
money
to
pay
taxes
and
our
and
and
need
X
some
extra
income
to
rent
to
lower-income
folks
who
can
help
them
with
this.
With
these
issues
of
the
lower
income,
folks
then
get
a
place
to
live
this.
F
This
win/win
vision,
however,
is
counteracted
by
the
staff
memo
written
by
the
same
folks
who
have
presented
these
public
presentations,
which
is
fair
clearly
and
against
the
owner
occupancy
provision.
An
alternative
vision
then
becomes
evident.
Six
unrelated
individuals,
three
in
each
of
the
two
dwelling
units,
each
of
them,
perhaps
paying
much
more
than
enough
than
what
would
be
available
to
an
or
to
a
resident
with
on
a
low
income
because
they
can
and
because
the
developer
and
absentee
landlord
is
only
out
to
maximize
income
and
is
not
interested
really
in
affordable
housing.
F
Further
for
their
detriment
to
the
neighborhood
is
likely
to
happen
in
such
instances.
I
can
tell
you
without
hyperbole,
let's
imagine
that
those
six
and
related
individuals
or
members
of
the
same
fraternity,
who
hold
a
parties
on
a
regular
basis
and
invite
their
friends
as
has
happened
to
men,
as
has
happened
to
me,
that's
the
kind
of
vision
that
you
want
to
avoid
and
you
can
encourage
affordable
housing
and
integrate
it
into
our
neighborhoods
if
you
adopt
an
owner
occupancy
provision
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
Good
evening,
mayor,
Haggerty
city,
council,
city
manager,
city
clerk,
as
we
are
here
tonight,
to
discuss,
affordable
housing,
I'd
like
to
start
by
saying
that,
after
spending
the
last
two
years
researching
the
subject,
we
found
it's
a
whole
lot
more
complicated
than
we
would
have
imagined
with
different
types
of
affordable
housing
and
different
guidelines
needed
to
be
followed,
is
it
subsidized
and
by
who
is
an
inclusionary
or
permanent
supportive
housing?
What
percentage
of
AMI
is
appropriate?
30%,
50,
80
100?
How
do
we
determine
this?
G
It
seems
that,
with
every
new
structure,
there
is
a
new
set
of
guidelines.
I
guess
we
need
a
new
committee
to
discuss
all
these
guidelines
but
know
we
have
our
dapper
committee.
For
starters,
who
is
given
zoning
approval
for
16
units
of
inclusionary
housing
at
pitner
and
dumpster?
The
16
units
are
actually
permanent
supportive
units,
which
has
their
own
set
of
guidelines
to
follow
this
building,
does
not
follow
the
guidelines
set
up
by
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
from
just
three
years
ago.
G
G
Can
I
say
one
more
thing:
real,
quick?
Okay,
do
you
know,
after
reading,
through
hundreds
of
agendas
and
seeing
that
he
had
made
a
change
in
public
comment
when
there's
less
than
five
speakers
I
picked
up
the
last
sentence
that
reads
public
comment
is
attended
to
foster
dialogue
in
a
in
a
respectful
and
civil
manner.
Then
I
said
to
myself
in
its
simplest
form,
it's
a
conversation
between
two
or
more
people
and
it's
exchange
and
discussion
of
ideas
being
open
and
frank
and
seeking
new
mutual
understanding
and
harmony.
G
A
H
H
Don't
want
to
detract
from
the
good
that
the
city
did
during
the
extreme
call
that
we
just
experienced,
but
I
do
want
to
ask
the
city
to
be
more
than
mindful
of
our
elderly
physically
and
economically
challenged
citizens
whose
services
were
not
met
when
I
was
growing
up
Evanston
in
Evanston.
There
were
many
vacant
lots,
these
vacant
lots
were
Gardens
and
when
those
and
all
the
sidewalks
in
Evanston
were
shovel
even
in
front
of
the
vacant
lot.
H
The
physically
economically
challenged
can't
clear
their
sidewalks,
nor
do
they
have
the
funds
to
pay
someone
to
do
it
for
them.
This
goes
for
the
elderly
to
picture
the
mounds
of
snow
around
the
parking
meters
and
the
parking
boxes
around
the
post
office
in
other
downtown
businesses.
The
city
can
do
better.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
Cannon
had
to
go,
and
she
asked
me
to
make
this
a
message
for
her
good
evening:
mayor
Haggerty
city
manager,
city
clerk
and
members.
This
comes
from
Darlene
cannon.
My
name
is
Darlene
cannon
and
I'm.
A
resident
of
the
second
Ward
I
am
one
of
the
group
of
the
Harley
Clarke
community
engagement
committee,
who,
along
with
the
Evanston
lake
house
and
Gardens
organization,
had
a
meeting
if
the
Civic
Center
on
January
24th,
the
meeting
was
held
to
get
good
ideas
and
from
the
citizens
the
rooms
filled
to
capacity
attendance
exceeded,
100
On,
February
28th.
I
There
will
be
a
follow-up
meeting
here
at
the
Civic
Center
to
get
the
ideas
from
the
citizens
you
mayor,
Haggerty
and
all
the
members
of
City
Council
are
more
than
welcome
to
join
the
people
you
represent,
so
we're
asking
you
mayor,
Haggerty,
the
city
manager
and
the
City
Council
to
cease
and
desist
from
discussing
in
small
groups.
Until
you
hear
from
the
people
that
you
serve
the
citizens
of
Evanston,
we
think
it
is
irresponsible
for
you
to
leave
out
80%
of
the
people
as
well
as
people
of
color.
I
In
these
discussions,
key
issues
which
were
raised
that
our
124
meeting
are
needed
to
include
all
of
the
people
of
Evanston
black
white
brown,
yellow,
rich
and
poor.
Regarding
the
use
of
the
house,
the
Harley
imagine
we
hope
that
you
will
become
part
of
the
citizens
of
Evanston
who
plan
to
use
the
house
for
the
community.
I
want
to
echo
everything
darling
just
said.
The
Evanston
community
came
out
across
all
wards
and
spoke
loudly
and
clearly
when
they
voted
in
mass
in
favor
of
keeping
the
Harlan
clock
mansion
for
public
use.
I
A
J
Mayor
Thank
You
members
of
the
council,
I'm
going
to
go
a
little
off
topic
because
this
is
probably
going
to
be
the
last
meeting
I'm
attending
as
I'm
moving
Evanston.
But
my
purpose
here
today
was
just
to
not
let
the
issue
of
Victim
Services
program
go
off
the
radar,
because
I'm
afraid
that
July
is
going
to
be
come
upon
us
very
quickly
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
plans
to
keep
this
vital
program.
I
know
we
were
given
a
stay
for
six
months
and
I.
J
Think
all
of
you
for
that
vote
in
the
budget
and
it's
under
the
Health
and
Human
Services
Department
now
but
I
am
concerned.
I
think
if,
as
a
community
we're
not
providing
adequate
Victim
Services,
particularly
for
families
of
homicide,
victims,
we're
going
to
be
causing
secondary
trauma
for
those
families,
for
a
city
that
led
the
country
and
being
one
of
the
first
police
based
programs
providing
victim
services.
A
level
of
concern
for
keeping
a
program
critical
for
the
well-being
of
our
citizens
is
imperative.
J
I
think
if
outside
contracting
really
becomes
necessary
for
budgeting
than
a
program
that
has
a
record
of
working
with
survivors
of
homicide
like
the
system
that
set
up
in
Chicago
must
be
the
path
forward
and
I
say
this
with
the
utmost
for
the
services
provided
by
the
YWCA
and
I
depend
on
them
regularly
in
my
work.
The
second
thing
I
just
want
to
bring
to
everybody's
attention.
J
This
is
gun
violence
survivors
week,
we're
in
the
midst
of
it,
and
next
Saturday
will
mark
one
year
from
the
murder
of
your
cows
so
mark
he
was
the
first
of
two
deaths
by
guns
in
Evanston
and
2018
and
I
went
to
ask
my
fellow
Evan
stone,
Ian's
to
remember
yuccas
and
his
family
and
second,
as
a
moms
demand
action.
Member
asks
that
we
honor
his
death
and
all
victims
of
gun
violence
with
action.
Thank
you
thank.
A
K
My
name
is
Tom
Swigert
I'm,
a
third
generation
Evan
Stone,
Ian
and
I'm
here
to
talk
about
sp3
the
conversion
of
the
lot
one
here
in
Evanston
into
affordable
housing,
which
I
don't
have
any
particularly
negative
views
or
unaccepted.
We
use
that
parking
lot.
I've
had
a
business
here
in
Evanston
since
April
of
1978,
and
we
moved
in
to
505
Chicago
Avenue
in
1991,
and
we've
had
our
staff
our
employees,
using
that
parking
lot,
so
that
our
parking
area
could
be
used
for
clients
to
be
able
to
come
in
and
out
and
use
our
services.
K
We've
also
provided
three
lights
in
that
alley
for
after
our
situations,
because
when
our
client,
our
employees,
are
coming
in
to
work
or
leaving
work,
it's
not
lit
up,
so
I
have
three
lights
down
there,
two
of
which
are
rented
from
a
public
utility
and
we'll
be
gone.
If
we
are
victim
eat
at
least
some
parking
to
be
able
to
continue
our
business.
K
The
and
I
would
like
to
not
actually
move
if
I
could,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
people
who
are.
The
IRS
considers
us
a
an
address
that
they
comment
on.
We
have
a
medical
research
corporation
that
has
used
our
dress
as
their
corporate
address,
for
since
1983
I
mean
we're
a
part
of
the
Evanston.
We
have
a
lot
more
involved
than
just
thinking
a
little
operation
and
we
would
like
to
at
least
keep
some
parking
Thanks.
A
L
Evening,
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
Ric
Switzer
and
I
own
a
property
down
the
street
here
at
to
404
Ridge.
It's
a
large
and
beautiful
property
that
is
adjacent
there
on
the
street
by
Lincoln
I've
been
a
Wilmette
resident
for
all
of
my
65
years,
living
across
the
street
from
Evanston
and
currently
live
one
mile
from
our
property
that
we
own
and
rent
out.
I
am
a
so
called
absentee
landlord.
In
the
summer
of
1996.
Almost
23
years
ago,
I
bought
an
amazing
historic
property
at
404.
L
I
was
taken
with
the
historic
nature
of
the
mid
1800s
farmhouse.
The
large
walled
him
mostly
prompt
private
2/3
of
an
acre
and
mostly
by
the
old
barn
that
existed,
which
boasted
a
structural
beam
proudly
tagged
by
the
previous
owners,
is
coming
from
the
ruins
of
the
shipwrecked
lady
elegant
shipwrecked
off
a
high
wood
in
1860
I,
determined
to
renovate
the
farmhouse
and
restore
the
old
barn
to
prior
glory
and
create
a
coach
house.
L
By
so
doing,
I
petitioned
the
village
and
the
Preservation
Board
for
permission
received
permits
and
a
new
address,
in
fact,
from
the
building
to
404
and
a
half
bridge
and
went
to
work
on
what
was
to
become
a
lengthy
labor
of
love.
All
these
years
we've
held
on
to
the
dream
and
have
rented
out
the
property
with
the
house
as
the
only
livable
space.
We
have
sustained
substantial
losses
year
over
year
due
to
maintenance,
continuing
improvements,
debt
service
and
hefty
property
taxes
which,
due
to
the
large
acreage,
have
been
inescapable.
L
The
dream
wood
that
we've
held
on
to
against
the
day
that
we
may
complete
our
vision,
bring
water
into
the
barn
and
Sewer
out
and
finally,
I
rent
the
property
included
the
restored
barn.
The
ATU
ordinance
passed
last
May
finally
gave
us
a
roadmap
to
completing
the
stream.
As
you
can
see
from
the
staff
research,
it's
not
a
reality
that
non-owner
occupied
buildings
create
a
lower
standard
of
property
maintenance
and,
in
the
case
that
to
404
Ridge,
probably
the
opposite
is
true.
The
Adu
ordinance,
who
recently
passed
was
insightful
helpful
to
many
and
forward-thinking.
L
M
Hi
good
evening,
mayor
city
manager,
City
Clerk,
City
Council,
my
name
is
Tina,
Payton
and
I
think
it
needs
to
bring
attention.
So
you
have
these
meetings
for
affordable
housing,
but
you
need
to
bring
to
light
what
is
really
going
on
so
at
14
13,
14,
1914,
21,
14,
25,
Emerson,
Street
and
1917
Jackson,
there's
plan
to
be
they're
going
to
bring
forward
that
these
properties
will
be
demolished,
and
these
are
traditionally
affordable
units.
One
of
the
ladies.
M
She
couldn't
be
here
tonight
to
speak
that
she
has
to
move
out
of
her
place
by
the
end
of
the
month
and
she's,
one
of
the
persons
that
are
going
to
be
displaced,
they're
supposed
to
be
luxury
town
homes
being
built
for
torn
down
in
replace
of
these
buildings.
So
I
have
a
concern
at
1421
Emerson,
which
is
NSP
to
property
and
in
set
in
2012
it
was
acquired
for
branch
or
four
77220
dollars
in
2014.
M
A
N
So
my
name
is
sue
Lobeck,
I,
work
at
connections
for
the
homeless
and
I'm,
representing
our
coalition
called
joining
forces
for
affordable
housing.
We
would
like
to
first
say
that
we're
very
excited
about
the
new
developments
that
are
being
talked
about
tonight.
We
know
that
there
will
be
concerns
amongst
the
neighbors
in
the
vicinities
of
these
new
developments,
but
we
also
know
that
the
city
will
work
hard
to
address
those
concerns,
while
still
moving
these
new,
affordable
buildings
forward.
N
We'd
also
like
to
ask
tonight
that
the
City
Council
not
to
change
the
current
ordinance
on
accessory
dwelling
units
to
require
owner
occupancy
of
one
of
the
units
on
a
property.
We
are
against
this
change
for
the
following
reasons.
Many
explained
in
detail
in
the
packet
for
tonight.
One
newer
research
shows
that
ad
use
on
parcels
that
are
not
owner
occupied
are
generally
no
less
well
maintained
than
those
that
are
owner.
N
Occupied
to
this
restriction
does
not
apply
to
two
flats
or
duplexes,
we're
not
quite
why
they
should
apply
to
situations
like
the
like
coach
houses.
Three
we
expected
owners
who
do
not
want
to
live
on
a
property
but
would
rather
rent
out
both
units
will
do
so,
whether
or
not
there
is
an
ordinance
for
imposing
this
restriction
will
impose
legal
encumbrances
on
properties
which
may
make
it
more
difficult
for
owners
to
sell
their
properties
in
the
future.
N
Five
most
important
for
us
in
joining
forces
for
affordable
housing,
and
that's
who
these
people
are
up
here
with
me.
This
restriction
will
limit
the
flexibility
that
owners
have
in
using
ad
use
as
affordable
housing
for
members
of
the
community
and
six,
particularly
while
the
affordable
housing
plans
subcommittee,
is
doing
its
work.
We
feel
it's
very
important
to
not
impose
new
restrictions
that
have
the
potential
of
impeding
affordability.
N
O
We
wouldn't
have
the
ability
to
make
adjustments
to
our
properties,
to
add
new
units
in
an
accessory
type
unit
or
even
purchase
a
single-family
that
has
this
option
to
do
that
and
create
this
housing.
So
by
having
the
owner
occupancy
status,
you
prevent
agencies
like
mine
from
being
able
to
create
the
maximum
amount
of
housing
that
we
can.
Thank
you
great.
A
P
Had
a
lot
of
clients
come
to
my
office
and
say
god,
it's
really
difficult
to
park
around
here,
and
the
parking
in
the
neighborhood
is
already
very,
very
poor
and
if
Evanston
wants
to
turn
southeast
Evanston
into
something
similar
to
what's
going
on
in
East,
Rogers,
Park,
I'm
sure
we've
all
visited
people
in
East,
Rogers
Park
and
it's
unbelievably
difficult
to
park
there.
This
plan
is
the
perfect
plan
to
turn
southeast
ovens
and
into
northeast
Rogers
Park.
P
You
know
I'm
just
gonna
rip
through
a
couple
of
the
zoning
standards
securing
adequate
light,
pure
air
safety
for
from
fire
and
other
dangers,
conserving
and
enhancing
the
taxable
value
of
land
and
buildings
throughout
the
city,
minimizing
or
lessening
congestion
and
the
public
streets
regulating
and
limiting
the
intensity
of
the
use
of
flat
areas
regulating
and
determining
open
spaces
between
and
among
the
surrounding
buildings.
I
think
if
this
were
anything
other
than
a
public
land
here,
if
this
was
a
reprieve
at
developer,
changing
the
use
for
changing
ownership
of
the
property.
P
P
That's
what
you're
asking
the
cities
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
this
plan,
you're
asking
developers
to
spend
a
lot
of
time,
making
proposals
to
this
plan
you're
effectively
asking
people
to
spend
a
lot
of
wheels,
and
you
haven't
discussed
this
in
the
neighborhood
yet
and
I'd
really
think
before
proceeding.
You
really
need
to
have
a
very
open
discussion,
a
transparent
discussion
about
the
impact
that
this
project
could
have
on
the
neighborhood.
Thank.
Q
You
know
great
schools,
progressive
government,
pretty
good
race
relations,
good
Public,
Safety,
high
taxes
and
when
I
left
there
I
left
a
home
that
has
a
carriage
house
behind
it.
I
lived
in
the
big
house,
a
big
house
and
rented
to
a
long-term
person
in
the
carriage
house.
I
didn't
know.
If
I
was
going
back
to
Decatur
or
not
so
I
rented
my
home
to
some
friends.
Q
Q
I
looked
for
a
home
that
had
a
rental
unit
on
it
because
it
made
the
property
more
affordable.
For
me,
it
added
value
I,
really
like
having
someone
close
by
I
appreciated
that
I
think
my
sister
appreciates
that
now
too
and
I'm
a
very
strong
advocate
of
affordable
housing,
so
I
don't
understand
complicating
the
idea
of
having
an
accessory
dwelling
unit
or
carriage
house
or
coach
house
and
then
requiring
that
one
of
the
units
be
on
owner-occupied.
It
would
be
very
complicated,
been
for
me
if
I'd
had
to
sell
in
order
before
I
moved
here.
Q
Q
I
Good
evening
mayor
hurricane
party,
clerk
read
and
members
of
the
City
Council
I
stand
this
evening:
Carla
Sutton
fifth
Ward
residents,
a
third
generation
Evans
Tony
him
I,
agree
with
comments
made
by
because
this
Payton,
but
I
also
agree
that
maybe
she
should
do
what
I
do.
I
did
not
go
to
bed.
Tuesday,
Wednesday
or
Thursday
night
I
stood
out
in
my
driveway
with
my
snow
shovel
and
I.
Dare
that
snowplow
baby
and
I
fought
like
a
idiot.
I
I
threw
the
snow
at
him
and
everybody
else
so
you
can
come
on
out,
but
you
won't
have
to
shovel
me
in
those
of
ditches
to
I
will
not
be
moved.
Thank
you.
I
also
want
to
ask
that
you
approve
sp1
and
that's
before
this
evening.
Those
are
good
things
and,
in
my
closing
remarks,
your
consideration
on
this
council
should
not
expedite
gentrification
but
expand
affordable
units.
Thank
you.
A
R
My

I
live
in

third
I'm
sorry,
and
the
ninth
ward
and
I
am
a
leader
with
reclaim
Evanston
I'm
speaking
tonight
to
voice
our
opposition
to
the
proposed
ordinance
modifying
the
accessory
dwelling
unit,
ordinance
that
was
passed
last
year.
We
agree
with
staffs
assessment
published
in
tonight's
packet
that
the
proposed
restriction
on
the
rental
of
accessory
dwelling
units
is
unnecessary,
in
fact,
would
reduce
the
number
of
affordable
dwelling
units
in
Evanston
that
we
hope
to
gain
by
the
passage
of
last
year's
ordinance.
R
S
Good
evening
there
Council
I'm
the
property
owner
at
424,
South
Boulevard,
which
is
right
on
the
driveway
of
the
city.
Parking
lot.
1
and
I
have
some
concerns
that
I've
been
there
since
1995
and
when
I
moved.
There
I'd
put
a
lot
of
work
into
that
property
because
it
was
overtaken
by
weeds
and
debris
and
nobody
maintained
it.
The
Parkway
and
I
improved
it,
and
my
property
value
was
significant.
S
It
became
something
that
I've
cherished,
but
since
I
found
out
about
this
plan,
development
I
have
no
recognition
a
regulation
of
transparency
from
the
city
about
what
their
plans
were.
Nobody
told
me
I
just
happen
to
hear
from
the
city
website
with
that
being
said,
after
looking
at
the
zoning
ordinance
of
6-3
2-6
35
16,
that
requires
proper
notification
to
the
surrounding
homeowners,
which
I
find
was
not
carried
out.
S
There
was
no.
The
property
value
I
feel
be
affected
by
this,
because
I
won't
have
a
driveway
anymore.
I
won't
have
a
place
to
drive.
I
have
a
bit
a
small
business
as
well
as
the
others
spoke
here
and
I
work
out
of
my
home.
For
my
business.
That
will
affect
me
tremendously.
I
feel
there's
other
alternatives
like
a
lot
39
which
sits
on
city,
property,
39
and
42,
which
you
already
have
arvind
dwellings,
which
would
fit
more
of
the
facade
of
the
neighborhood.
S
Instead
of
taking
away
from
home
owners
to
have
single-family
and
duplex
in
the
building
there.
What
with
affordable
housing
I
think
would
take
away
from
the
the
actual
scenery
of
the
neighborhood
plus
the
congestion,
which
we
already
have
people
parking
to
ride
the
CTA
and
they
come
there
and
they
take
up
all
the
parking.
Then
they
bring
other
people
that
undesirable
people
that,
like
the
braking
cars,
which
was
just
happened
to
me
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
in
the
building
and
zoning
effect,
I
think
should
be
reconsidered.
Thank.
T
Mayor
manager,
clerk
alderman
thanks
for
giving
us
a
chance
to
talk
tonight,
Calvin's
neighbor
on
420,
South
Boulevard
and
the
Third
Ward,
and
this
has
kind
of
hit
me
like
a
ton
of
bricks
as
well,
just
like
Dan
Fierstein's
said
as
well.
We
don't
really
know
much
about
it
as
neighbors
and
we're
concerned
about
the
parking,
the
congestion,
the
size
of
the
building,
whatever
changes
and
the
character
the
neighborhood
may
happen,
like
Calvin
we've
put
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
money
into
our
building
and
improved
it
significantly.
T
We're
worried
about
our
property
values,
of
course,
affordable
housing
is
extremely
important.
It's
a
shared
value
in
the
city,
so,
but
we
have
to
be
very
careful
like
the
goal
of
lifting
up,
affordable
housing,
but
we
have
to
be
done
very
carefully
and
there's
a
lot
of
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
that
needs
to
happen
in
that
and
I.
Don't
know
if
enough
of
that
has
happened,
so
I'm
gonna
try
to
keep
this
brief.
Some
of
my
neighbors
made
very
good
points
already.
So.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
U
U
Responding
dude--,
Y,
sp3
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
Dorie
Stein
also,
and
she
was
unable
to
make
the
meeting
unfortunately,
but
we
both
have
concerns.
We
live
at
505,
hidden
and
a
veneer
there,
which
is
the
house
on
the
corner
next
to
Calvin
win,
and
we
got
up
one
morning
late.
This
fall
to
find
surveyors
on
the
property.
Nobody
had
notified
us
that
they
were
there
to
do
a
survey
that
had
to
do
with
developing
the
parking
lot.
U
U
U
That
would
run
about
four
feet
directly
off
of
our
porch
they're,
eliminating
our
parking
lot,
eliminating
our
parking
spaces
and
also
I
believe
there
was
a
garage
there
at
one
time
that
was
torn
down
and
she
was
told
she
couldn't
put
a
garage
up
there
and
I
believe
the
city
did
this
deliberately,
so
they
knew
that
at
that
time
that
they
were
going
to
develop
a
lot
and
tried
to
keep
that
from
her
right
now,
with
the
current
way
that
this
is
written
or
we
are
not
for
this
development
at
all.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
V
Yet
I
mean
they're
very
preliminary
and
not
requiring
the
kind
of
detail
that
people
think
that
they
should
have
to
be
responsive
to,
but
not
passively
waiting
for
developers
to
come
in
I
think
is
a
major
positive
step
and
I
really
want
to
thank
them
for
it
and
also
I.
This
hasn't
been
said
a
lot
publicly,
but
I
think
the
City
Council
needs
to
have
an
educational
role
in
the
community
dealing
with
NIMBY.
As
you
know,
that
means
not
in
my
backyard
and
the
community
towards
understanding
Jim
B.
V
W
I'm
Peter
Mitchell
I'm,
a
relatively
new
resident
of
Evanston
and
I'm
surprised
by
the
owner,
occupancy
requirement.
I
came
from
Wilmette
and
where
I
raised
my
family,
but
I
moved
to
Evanston
because
of
the
nature
of
the
community,
and
this
requirement
feels
a
little
elitist
to
me,
and
it
makes
me
wonder
where
do
you
draw
the
line
between
what
you
can
rent
and
what
you
can't?
X
Good
evening,
everybody
Madeline
decree
here
fifth
Ward
this
month
is
Black
History
Month,
as
everyone
knows,
hopefully,
I
just
want
to
start
off,
saying
that
I'm
gonna
speak
tonight,
for
the
see
now
call
it
Network
for
equality
and
fairness,
but
mostly
I'm
gonna
speak
for
myself
when
I
say
what
I'm
saying
tonight,
it's
for
me,
mostly
okay.
First
of
all,
I
wanted
to
speak
about
housing.
The
affordable
housing,
the
appointment
unit
over
there,
that's
being
built
on
Emerson
and
Jackson,
is
terrible.
We
should
know
better.
X
What's
going
on
in
this
town
and
the
fifth
Ward
number
two
I
wanted
to
speak
about
sanctuary
City.
How
does
sanctuary
City
have
heard
black
folks
call
it
folks
and
this
Everson,
okay,
immigration,
immigration
think
about
it
now
comment
on
net:
more
ETH
s,
district
65
equality,
equity,
drugs
in
our
town,
profiling,
on
black
folks.
Now,
let
me
just
say
this
people
of
color.
Let
me
tell
you
a
little
quick
story.
What
happened
in
Louisiana
when
I
was
coming
up
st.
Tammany
Parish
High
School,
we
were
entering
the
middle
school.
X
Some
of
my
friends
wanted
to
tell
me
that
Creole
was
white
folks
and
the
American
folks
was
the
black
folks,
the
darker
skinned
people
who
lived
on
the
other
side
Americans.
They
call
himself.
Ok
the
fridge
in
the
Spaniards.
They
thought
anyone
called
me
a
black
supremacist
up
here
tonight.
I
want
to
tell
you
that
French
and
Spaniards
were
down
in
Louisiana.
Ok,
I'll,
leave
it
there
for
now.
X
Let
me
say
one
more
thing:
people
of
color
every
time,
I
cringe,
because
you
know
why
nobody
mentioned
no
people
of
color
until
it's
time
to
get
together
with
everyone.
Ok.
Now
let
me
finish
that
little
story,
black
folks
brown
folks
I,
was
the
brown
color
folks.
Ok,
I
was
a
paper
bag,
so
I
was
in
the
middle.
X
The
black
folks
came
to
me
the
Creole
people.
Thank
you,
I,
don't
take
no
stuff,
I
say
what's
on
my
mind
and
I
still
do
they
wanted
to
tell
me
that
Creole
was
right
to
do
this.
It
pitted
us
together
down
in
Louisiana,
okay
light-skinned
black
folks
brown
skinned
people.
Well,
let
me
tell
you
something:
I
am
colored
and
I'm,
not
afraid
to
say
it.
You
know
why,
because
my
mother
told
me
do
not
let
America
forget
what
they
did
to
black
folks.
Okay,
keep
yourselves
in
your
little
boxes.
Call
yourself
black
ain't.
X
A
Y
My
name
is
Kelly
Anne
Alcott
I
am
a
resident
of
the
fifth
Ward
I
just
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
actually
I.
Actually
don't
want
to
talk
a
lot
about
it
at
all,
because
everyone
has
come
up
and
made
their
points
about
it.
Sp
Jude,
ordinance
I
would
like
you
to
consider
not
amending
the
ordinance
as
it
stands
as
laid
out
by
armed
connections
for
the
homeless.
Y
They
already
told
you
this
explains
you
already
have
all
the
information
you
made
this
decision
to
create
this
ordinance
and
lift
the
ban
and
show
that
owners
don't
have
to
actually
live
in
the
property
for
the
property
to
be
well-maintained,
and
you
have
all
the
information
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
act
and
make
sure
you
know
that
I
support
it.
Thank.
A
You
thank
you
all
right.
Well.
That
concludes
public
comment.
Thank
you,
everybody
for
coming
out
and
speaking
so
eloquently
and
and
civilly
on
a
variety
of
issues
and
people
with
lots
of
different
perspectives
on
those
issues
which
I'm
sure
will
embark
on
and
discuss
as
we
get
through
this
evening,
so
Genda.
So
with
that
we're
going
to
start
to
move
through
the
agenda,
we've
got
four
items
on
the
agenda
tonight
and
this
is
a
special
order
of
business.
Z
Z
Mr.
mayor,
mrs.
Suen,
the
city
manager,
mr.
clerk
and
mayors
of
the
city
are
members
of
the
City
Council.
My
name
is
Savannah
Clement
and
I.
Am
the
housing
policy
and
planning
analyst
here
with
the
city
I'm
just
going
to
give
a
real
brief
overview
of
where
we
are
to
date
on
our
affordable
housing
work
plan.
Z
Z
Boulevard
would
be
accomplishing
one
of
the
strategies
that
we
mentioned
earlier,
of
leveraging
city-owned
property
to
develop,
affordable
housing
same
with
the
Evergreen
development
that
that
would
be
leveraging
external
resources
to
get
new
units
into
the
city,
so
some
activities
to
date
we
passed
an
inclusionary
housing,
ordinance
and
amended
ordinance
from
the
iho
subcommittee.
It
went
into
effect
January
1st
of
this
year.
We
are
working
to
get
the
forms
updated,
we'll
have
those
on
the
city's
website
at
the
address
right
there,
the
the
updated
ordinance
is
already
there.
Z
Community
partners
for
affordable
housing
will
continue
to
manage
our
wait
lists
and
the
income
certifications
for
iho
units,
as
well
as
any
other
affordable
units
that
want
to
use
our
centralized
waitlist
and
then
also
under
create
pathways
to
home
ownership.
There
was
an
inter
government
agreement
that
was
approved
by
City
Council
and
then
at
the
meeting
on
January
14th
2019,
an
ordinance
was
approved
to
negotiate
the
sale
of
1729
dodge
coming
to
you
all.
In
February.
Z
Again,
the
accessory
dwelling
units
and
outreach
and
education
we
had
an
event
on
January
16th
at
Northwestern.
Some
people
here
attended.
This
is
kind
of
part
of
our
broader
effort
with
the
affordable
housing
plan
to
engage
in
outreach
and
education
with
the
public
on
some
of
the
initiatives
that
we
are
going
to
be
undertaking
and
then
other
sources
of
revenue,
the
housing
and
homelessness.
Commission
is
working
on
developing
a
proposal
or
recommendation
on
increasing
the
demolition
tax.
Z
We
hope
to
have
that
to
you
all
in
in
March
April
at
the
latest,
so
that
will
be
coming
soon
and
then
we
have
our
affordable
housing
plan
and
the
steering
committee
that
will
be
overseeing
its
development.
The
first
meeting
for
this
it
was
scheduled
for
last
week,
but
due
to
the
extreme
weather,
we
had
to
move
it,
and
so
it
will
be
Wednesday
February
13th
at
7
o'clock
p.m.
in
the
parasol
room.
Z
The
members
will
be
using
the
American
Planning
associations
framework,
which
is
used
as
six
policy
principles.
We're
matching
these
with
the
strategies
that
were
in
the
affordable
housing
white
paper
and
going
to
use
this
as
our
framework
for
developing
the
plan,
and
that's
really
all
it's
very
brief
and
I
will
take
any
questions.
If
you
all
have
any
otherwise,
I
will
pass
it
over.
AA
Z
AA
Z
Yeah
I,
don't
know
all
the
addresses
and
properties
off
the
top
of
my
head.
Some
of
them
were
just
residential
that
were
blighted.
Some
were
properties
where
they
tore
down
and
build
something
new
in
place.
They've
just
been
kind
of
all
over
as
far
as
what's
what's
been
demolished
and
what's
got
in,
please
can.
AA
Z
AA
Z
AA
AB
Big
alderman
Rainey
addressed
my
questions.
I
was
gonna.
Ask
the
similar
question
I,
don't
in
every
once
in
a
while,
not
often
that
$10,000
sometimes
becomes
a
barrier
to
you
know
for
properties.
Now
all
of
a
sudden
they're,
just
an
eyesore
that
they'd
stay
in
some
of
our
wards.
So
I
just
hope
that
you
continue
to
think
carefully
about
that
as
well
as
I
can't
remember,
Sarah
we
do
have
a
waiver
process
for
them
and
I
hope
you
don't
mess
with
that.
So
yeah.
Z
AC
So
that's
you
know
when
I
asked
about
this
previously,
if
the
economy,
you
know
when
the
economy
will
trend
better,
then
it
makes
it
more
appealing
to
tear
down
market
rate,
affordable
housing
and
replace
it
with
higher
value
properties,
so
to
the
extent
that
it
can
be
kind
of
tied
to
the
removal
of
market
rate,
affordable
housing
and
the
the
value
of
the
replacement
property,
that's
kind
of
what
I
had
in
mind.
So
if
you're
putting
up
you
know
a
million
dollar
house
on
you
know
something
where
they
were
like.
AC
AD
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
want
to
go
back
to
square
one
for
just
a
minute,
because
I'm
we've
been
doing
this
for
so
long,
I
I,
don't
remember
the
numbers
but
I'd
like
you
to
give
me.
AD
In
terms
of
other
cities
in
the
area,
I
don't
want
to
go
too
far
afield
in
the
US,
but
comparable
cities.
I
just
I
need
a
reminder
of
that.
I
remember
numbers
from
when
we
started
the
conversation
a
long
time
ago,
but
simply
don't
recall.
So
if
you
could
send
that
off
to
us,
I'd
appreciate
it
sure
yeah.
A
AE
Seraph
lacks
housing,
grants
manager,
you're
right,
Mary,
Harry
D.
There
was
a
change
of
about
two
percentage
points
when
the
analysis
is
done
by
Ida
four
to
comply
with
the
state's
requirement
of
ten
percent
of
housing
being
affordable
to
households,
either
at
for
ownership
that
are
80
percent
or
below
or
four
rental
it's
at
sixty
percent
or
below,
and
we
checked
up
from
about
fifteen
percent
to
about
17
percent.
AE
According
to
that
now
one
of
the
real
challenges
that
I
mean
this
is
a
substantially
less
dramatic
change
from
the
prior
reading,
where
we
lost
our
three
hundred
thirty
three
hundred
units
and
they're
in
the
period
of
time
from
about
2000,
whatever
it
was
till
the
till
the
one
that
was
it
at
the
15
percent.
I,
don't
remember
the
exact
dates,
but
it's
very
difficult
to
compare
the
numbers
that
were
done
based
on
prior
to
the
use
of
American
Community
Survey.
AE
Now
all
of
this
information
is
done
by
the
American
Community
Survey
American
Community
Survey
data,
so
the
current
survey
was
used
was
20
12,
13,
14,
15
16,
so
keep
in
mind
when
we
see
affordability
for
this
period.
It's
already,
we
have
were
two
years
past,
that
more
than
two
years
past
that
and
are
seeing
increases
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
pointed
out
in
other
analyses
of
affordability
that
asks
people
what
they're
paying
now
and
one
of
the
things
that
doesn't
really
ask
is
what
the
market
is.
AE
You
know
what
the
market
rate
of
getting
housing,
whether
its
buying
a
house
or
whether
it's
renting
a
house
currently
so
that's
you
know,
I,
don't
see
a
great
deal
of
importance
to
that
change
of
two
percent.
Given
the
way
the
statistics
are
done,
I
mean
I'd
like
to
think
we
did
a
lot,
but
we
still
have
an
enormous
percentage
of
people
living
that
are
extremely
housing
costs,
burden
and
housing
cost
burdens,
so
I
wish
I
could
feel
indeed.
A
AD
Sara
did
I
hear
you
correctly
that
the
state
standard
is
ten
percent
of
units.
Is,
is
the
standard
that
meet
the
affordable
requirements
and
we're
at
seventeen
percent,
but
that's
their
requirement.
It's
theoretically,
yeah
did
I
understand
you
like
mmm-hmm,
okay,
so
we're
at
seventeen
percent
I
want
to
pick
up
on
something
that
alderman
Ruth
Simmons
said
some
time
ago
and
I
absolutely
agree
with.
AD
AD
We
absolutely
have
to
look
at
that
and
that's
you
know
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
in
terms
of
economic
development,
to
try
trying
to
keep
the
lid
on
property
taxes,
but
it
it's
important
to
this
discussion
I
think
really
going
forward,
so
I'm
glad
we're
doing
as
as
well
as
we
are
clearly,
we
need
to
do
more.
We
can
do
more,
but
I
think
this
is
a
bigger
discussion
than
we're.
AD
AD
AE
One
thing
I
do
want
to
note
is
that
remember
the
10%
is
applied
against
all
communities.
Nobody
looks
at
the
incomes
of
the
people
you
have
living
in
your
community,
which
is
exactly
what
you're
talking
about.
We
have
way
more
than
10%
of
our
population,
that
is
below
60
and
80
percent.
So
that's
why
this
15
or
17
percent.
It
means
our
job
isn't
done
right.
AF
You
I
want
to
make
sure
or
give
a
referral
if
it's
not
already
included
that
staff
is
working
with
local
lending
partners
to
find
mortgage
products
for
our
moderate
income
families
to
own
homes
and
that
we
are
also
working
on
ways
to
keep
people
that
are
in
affordable
houses
in
their
home.
So
the
Cook
County
property
taxes
I,
don't
know
what
we
can
do
about
that.
AF
But
if
we
could
look
at
at
one
point,
we
had
a
weatherization
grant
or
other
sort
of
support
that
will
help
with
the
overhead
and
the
expense
of
homeownership
and
I.
Think
that's
something
that
I
definitely
want
us
to
focus
on
because
of
the
declining
numbers
of
minority
homeownership.
Here
in
town,
we.
AE
Are
in
fact
working
with
we're
going
to
try
to
get
Ida
in
for
a
program
on
their
loan
products
and
we're
meeting
with
wind
trust
and
various
other
banks
just
to
find
out
what
all
they're
doing
in
the
packet
is
that
full
chart
of
all
the
different
things?
And
we
didn't
want
to
try
to
go
through
all
of
them
or
you'd,
be
here
all
night.
But
absolutely
those
things
are
on
the
agenda.
We'll
keep
them
on
I'm.
AE
That
would
be
public
housing
level,
so
people
are
paying
only
30
percent
of
their
income
and
the
rest
is
picked
up
by
the
Housing
Authority,
but
then
also
that
middle
market
is
we're
calling
it
that
maybe
60
to
80
percent
of
area
median
where
it's
for
people
who
have
income
but
can't
afford
full
market
rate,
and
then
some
market
rate
units
so
we'll
check
in
with
them,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
them
back
in
the
near
future.
Great.
AB
A
AG
So
the
memo
mentions
two
reasons
for
requiring
owner
occupancy.
One
is
to
maintain
the
character
of
single-family
residential
neighborhoods,
and
the
second
is
to
ensure
the
high
level
of
maintenance
of
the
property,
but
there's
really
a
third,
very
important
reason,
in
my
view,
for
thinking
about
requiring
owner
occupancy
and
that's
to
discourage
speculation
in
residential
properties
that
can
make
housing
less
less
affordable,
and
that's
also
my
rationale
for
encouraging
this
body
to
consider
an
owner
occupancy
requirement
for
vacation
rentals.
AG
So
I
guess
I
have
a
question
for
staff
about
this,
and
it
may
be
something
they
not
at
the
tip
of
their
tongues.
But
is
there
a
way
to
that
one
could
register
an
existing
investor
own
property
with
an
ad
you
as
a
legal
non-conforming
use.
Is
that
something
because
that,
because
I'm,
assuming
we
probably
have
a
number
of
existing
in
you
know
non
owner-occupied
properties
with
ad
use,
we.
AE
Have
a
few,
but
it's
very
difficult
because
of
the
lack
of
real
flexibility
in
the
way
we
can
search
our
database
of
rental
registrations.
So
what
we
had
to
do
is
look
for
properties
that
had
half
and
things
like
that
and
then
try
to
figure
out
if
both
units
were
rented
and
there
are
some
and
I
think
that,
of
course
we
could
make
something
legal
non-conforming
and
we
could
grandfather
it.
AE
That's
exactly
the
thing
I
think
that's
challenging
is
I,
think
that
most
of
these
are
likely
to
be
ones
that
are
already
grandfathered,
because
they
were
allowed
to
rent
up
way
before
anybody
else
was
so
I
mean
it's
kind
of
how
do
we
segregate
and
allow
some
to
do
it
and
others
not,
and
they
are,
as
best
I
recall
from
looking
at
the
list,
virtually
all
large
properties
with
original
coach
houses.
So
you
know
it
also
I,
don't
know
if
that's
something
that
should
be
differentiated
on
where
people
can
do
it.
AE
AG
AG
Guess
I'm
certainly
have
heard
the
very
eloquent
public
testimony
that
we
had
this
evening
about
the
concern
that
doing
this
would
discourage
creation
of
more
auxilary
dwelling
units,
which
I
think
we're
really
committed
to
coming
up
with
ways
to
encourage
more
of
these
as
a
a
really
wonderful
way
to
develop
some
more
affordable
housing
units
and
also
to
help
homeowners
be
able
to
stay
in
their
homes
because
they
can
help
they
can
have
an
extra
income
to
help
offset
the
cost
of
home
maintenance.
I
I'm
happy
to
enter.
AG
A
A
AA
I
I'm
gonna
just
start
off,
opposing
this
and
say
that
there
there
has
to
be
come
a
time
when
we
stop
considering
tenants
as
second-class
citizens
and
that's
when
I
read
through
this.
That's
how
I
felt
and
I
remember
years
ago,
when
I
was
an
activists
and
the
tenants
organization
of
Evanston,
a
9th
Ward
Alderman
by
the
name
of
Dan
Bora,
said
to
me.
You
know,
and
when
you
become
a
homeowner,
then
you'll
become
a
real
citizen
in
Evanston
and
I
thought.
AA
You
know
that
that's
just
the
way
I
always
felt
as
a
tenant
back
in
the
day
and
all
the
undercurrent
of
this
whole
discussion
by
AARP
and
the
the
business
of
tenants
don't
take
care
of
property
like
homeowners
do
and
you
really,
you
have
to
be
suspicious.
I
mean
there's
a
huge
rental
market
in
this
town
and
tenants
take
very
good
care
of
their
property
and
I.
Think
that
you
know
we
have
to
preserve
the
we
have
to
preserve
the
dignity
of
our
one
districts.
AA
So
I
really
think
we
have
to
disabuse
ourselves
of
the
notion
that
if,
if
the
home
of
the
accessory
dwelling
unit
or
the
main
home,
that's
not
being
occupied
by
the
homeowner,
then
the
whole
place
is
going
to
go
to
hell
in
a
handbasket,
because
that's
not
going
to
happen
and
if
it
does
shame,
shame
on
shame
on
the
owner
and
the
city
is
there
to
inspect.
And
if
you
know,
if
there's
indications
that
the
place
is
being
run
down,
we'll
just
lower
the
boom
on
them
and
and
and
deal
with
it.
But
I
I.
AA
Don't
think
that
you
know
we
have
plenty
of
rentals
in
this
town
that
are
beautifully
maintained
and
so
I
mean
we're
not
requiring,
like
somebody
said
a
too
flat
or
a
three
flat
to
be
homeowner,
occupied
or
town
has
to
be
owner,
occupied
and
I.
Think
we're
going
a
little
off
the
deep
end
with
this
amendment.
So
I
would
encourage
us
to
defeat
it.
I
feel
differently
about
short-term
rentals.
I
feel
differently
about
that
I'm,
going
to
discuss
that
Thank.
AC
You
and
no
ultimen
Rainey
actually
covered
a
lot
of
what
I
was
gonna
say,
but
I
also
have
concerns
that
something
like
this
would
also
create.
They
would
create
an
environment
where
the
sophisticated
investor
would
be
the
one
who
has
the
ability
to
kind
of
game
the
system
you
know
to
create
an
LLC
or
you
know,
hire
somebody
to
maybe
not
hire.
Let
give
a
rental
discount
whatever,
but
it's
it's
going
to
be
the
sophisticated
investors
that
are
going
to
figure
out
the
ways
around
it
and
I.
AC
Don't
think
that's
what
we
want
to
be
accomplishing
and
and
I
took
part
of
what
all
the
remaining
was
saying,
any
given
individual
they're,
either
going
to
for
their
living
environment
or
they're.
Not-
and
you
know
whether
you
own
your
house
or
you
rent
it
that
comes
down
to
the
person,
not
really
the
the
form
of
their
living,
so
I,
don't
I,
don't
I
can't
support
the
support.
The
change,
okay.
A
All
right
did
you
want
to
add
some
Meltzer's
that
was
I
like
the
did.
Oh
okay,
that
was
quick,
okay,
good
all
right,
seeing
no
more
conversation
on
this.
This
was
move
for
introduction
with
the
second
city
clerk.
Could
you
take
the
roll
please
on
SB
2?
This
is
SP
to
ordinance
1-0
19,
amending
the
rental
registration
to
include
owner
occupancy
with
the
rental
of
accessory
dwelling
units
in
zoning
districts
with
single-family
residence,
alderman
Fleming.
Z
A
AG
So
I
had
an
additional
idea
to
throw
out,
because
in
some
parts
of
Evanston
it's
not
so
much
that
there's
a
that
there's
a
feeling
that
rental
properties
are
not
well
maintained,
I'm,
not
thinking
about
the
physical
upkeep
of
the
buildings.
But
there
are
certain
areas
where
there
are
nuisance
properties
because
of
loud
parties
and
etc.
So
and
it
doesn't,
and
from
the
emails
that
I've
seen
our
nuisance
premises.
Ordnance
has
not
been
an
effective
means
of
addressing
the
problems
with
some
of
these
properties.
AG
AE
AE
A
AF
So
I
support
that
concern
and
second,
that
referral
not
only
for
the
accessory
dwellings
but
looking
at
our
nuisance
premise,
ordinance
just
generally
and
how
we
are
enforcing
it.
I
too
have
found
it
to
be
an
ineffective
tool
to
get
landlords
to
up
their
property
standards
or
manage
their
tenants
that
have
regular
service
calls
for
various
nuisances.
So
if
we
could
look
at
what
we
are
either
not
enforcing
or
how
we
can
make
some
adjustments
to
the
policy
I'm,
not
just
on
the
accessory
dwellings
but
generally
okay,.
AB
Thank
you
very
much.
Alden
Ravel
I
mean
my
ears
perked
up
as
soon
as
you
made
that
referral,
and
so
just
that
we're
clear,
because
I
see
this
as
being
actually
more
effective
than
nuisance.
Ordinance
I
mean
when
we've
we've
revisited
that
probably
at
least
three
times
since
I've
been
on
council
and
we
really
haven't
found
a
way
to
give
it
the
teeth
that
you
know
our
staff
police
etc
need
to
stop
a
landlord
who
we've
had
repeated
issues
with
over
the
time.
AB
AG
AB
AB
C
Manager,
yes,
ma'am
err,
Alden
Bertha
versus
the
council
we'd
be
happy
to
come
back.
Okay
at
this
point
we'll
take.
The
referral
will
either
bring
this
back.
The
next
time
we
talk
about
affordable
housing
because
you're
looking
at
the
calendar,
I
ordered
looking
for
a
free
date.
AB
C
Why
don't
you
let
us
take
a
first
crack
at
this
and
then
come
back
at
my
guesses,
that
the
law
department
will
want
to
advise
what
we
can
and
can't
do
in
broad
general
terms.
So
my
guess
is
that
we
could
come
back
in
30
or
45
days
absolutely
with
a
report
on
where
things
stand
and
that
haven't
counts
up
for
the
discussion
that
the.
C
AI
A
AA
I've
used
the
nuisance
premises,
ordinance
twice
and
the
reason
why
it
probably
doesn't
work
is
because
no
one's
invoked
it
on
the
particular
landlord
and
I
will
say,
and
it's
public
knowledge
that
Sargon
Isaac
was
the
very
first
person
that
had
it
invoked
on
him
and
we've
done
nothing
but
reward
him
for
various
things
since
then.
So
that's
why
it
doesn't
work.
AA
AH
I
I
have
some
concerns
and
I
guess
my
concerns
are
one
if
we're
gonna
do
whatever
this
is
and
I.
Don't
necessarily
have
these
issues
in
my
work,
but
what
I
and
I
would
assume
the
law
department
would
say
we
have
to
apply
it
to
all
rentals,
not
just
accessory
dwelling
rights.
I
would
be
concerned
about
those
women
or
or
men
who
are
in
domestic
violence
situations.
I
understand.
G
AH
AB
AH
I'm
I'm
throwing
out
there
what
people
might
hear
I
understand
it's
not
covered,
but
I
don't
want
to
put
someone.
We
would
have
to
be
very
clear
and
marketing
this.
However,
it
went
about
and
then
I
guess
I
would
just
want
to
make
clear
make
sure
there's
clarity.
This
would
be
for
the
landlord
who's
with
the
property
standards
issues.
But
it
sounds
like
these
other
folks,
and
maybe
automobiles
talking
about.
AH
Is
this
idea
that
you
have
some
college
students,
party
and
so
I'm
calling
the
police,
because
there's
too
much
noise
and
I
I
guess
I
would
be
hesitant
to
then
tell
the
landlord.
You
know
you
can
never
rent
this
unit
out
again
because
you
know
you're
into
it
once
and
some
guys
who
are
having
a
party
I
mean.
Hopefully
the
police
can
go
and
break
the
party
up
and
if
there's
no
illegal
activity,
people
should
be
able
to
remain
within
their
lease.
AH
So
I
guess.
So.
Those
are
my
initial
concerns.
Just
with
this
and
I'm
sure
the
legal
department
would
handle
that,
but
I
would
hate
for
us
to
craft
this
whole
big
thing,
and
then
we
find
out
where
you
know
at
risk
of
violating
something
I'm,
definitely
all
about
property
standards.
But
I
don't
want
this
to
be
something
where
you
know,
because
the
landlord
rent
it
to
somebody
who
ended
up
not
being
a
good
tenant
they're
now
at
risk
of
not
being
able
to
rent
their
unit
again,
you
know
because
their
tenant
was
an
idiot
right.
AB
AJ
AJ
This
I
do
want
to
talk
about
this,
for
a
few
minutes
and
I
have
some
thoughts
about
what
how
we
should
proceed.
It
has
been
an
a
concern
in
Evanston
for
a
very
long
time
about
what
we
should
do
with
some
of
our
properties
that
are
not
heavily
used
and
at
different
times
we've
looked
or
our
parking
lots
that
may
not
be,
and
some
people's
minds
use
to
their
highest
and
best
use.
So
over
over
the
years
we
have
looked
at
various
parking
lots
to
determine
whether
they
are
potentially
developable
overwhelmingly.
AJ
Our
parking
lots
are
very
heavily
used
if,
if
not
waiting,
listed
and
and
oversold
sometimes
but
lot,
one
which
is
at
South
Boulevard
and
him
and
Avenue
has
historically
been
very
much
underused
and
I
recognize.
There
are
folks
here
who
do
use
it,
but
over
over
time
it
has
I
believe
never
been
used
more
than
50
percent,
so
it
has
been.
It
is
a
lot
that
we
have
looked
at
in
terms
of
potential
development
for
affordable
housing
that
we've
immediately
next-door
our
four
townhouses
that
are
low-income
or
section
8.
AJ
Housing
for
and
they've
been
there
for.
Probably
twenty
five,
thirty
more
than
that
thirty
years
that
are
owned
by
Cook,
County
housing,
Chac
yeah.
Thank
you,
and
so
one
of
the
ideas
that
has
been
raised-
and
it
was
discussed
at
the
transportation
and
parking
committee
in
July-
is
potentially
developing
both
sites,
both
the
city
parking
lot
and
redeveloping
the
four
townhouses
that
are
on
the
on
the
Polk
County
own
parcel
and
including
in
this
the
low-income
housing
that
is
currently
there.
That
is
all
multi.
AJ
But
the
site
is,
is
laura,
is
large
enough
for
a
small
development
it
backs
up
on
as
everyone
here
knows,
it
backs
up
on
the
on
the
cemetery
and
you
would
and
there's
a
potential
for
something
very
positive
happening,
but
I
recognize
that
a
number
of
the
neighbors
here
don't
have
enough
information
about
this,
and
so
what
I
would
want
to
do
is
have
a
neighborhood
meeting
with
all
of
the
neighbors.
Many
of
you
who
I
know
who
I
want
to
have
a
conversation
with
and
and
hear
about
what
your
concerns
are.
AJ
We've
met
many
times
over
the
years
about
issues
on
South,
Boulevard
and
the
alley,
and
before
we
move
forward
with
a
request
for
qualifications,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
this
is
really
a
project
that
the
community
can
support
and
can
understand
because,
as
as
mr.
Dreier
said,
you
know,
affordable
housing
is
definitely
a
value
that
we
have
here
in
Evanston,
but
it
needs
to
be
done
carefully
and
this
location
has
some
really
good
potential.
AJ
But
it
needs
to
be
done
in
a
way
that
the
community
understands
where
we
still
recognize
what
the
seeds
are
in
the
community
for
the
parking
facility
and
what
are
the
ideas
and
potential
that
could
be
done
with
this
lot,
so
that
people
in
the
community
don't
I,
think
there's
a
lot
of
misinformation.
I've
gotten
a
couple
of
phone
calls
from
people
over
the
weekend
that
that
were
very
alarmed
and
I.
AJ
Think
what
we
need
to
do
is
slow
this
down
and
have
neighborhood
meeting
to
discuss
this
in
much
much
more
detail
and
what
I
would
ask
then,
because
I
think
this
is
a
very
good
spot
to
have
some
affordable
housing.
It's
half
a
block
from
the
South
Boulevard,
stop
it's
not
far
from
I
mean
because
it's
there
I'll
stop
there
you
it's
not
far
from
grocery
stores
on
Chicago
Avenue,
it's
very
close
to
Saint
Francis
Hospital,
which
might
which
could
easily
be
a
workplace.
It's
within
the
Lincoln
School
District.
AJ
That
has
you
know
many
positives
to
it.
It's
a
block
from
a
large
city
park,
McGowan
Park,
and
it
is
an
asset
that
we've
had
that
hasn't
been
well
used
by
the
community.
It
has
been
used
I
recognized
by
the
neighbors,
but
not
to
a
potential
that
that
I
think
would
be
very
good
for
all
of
us
and
good
for
the
neighborhood
as
well.
AJ
We
have
a
remarkable
assortment
of
uses
within
a
one
or
two
block
area
there,
including
multifamily
law
offices,
a
business,
a
warehouse,
a
the
the
cemetery's
property
there,
as
well
as
low-income
housing
and
the
city
parking
lot.
So
all
of
these
things
need
to
be
put
together
and
understood,
and
how,
if
we
do
a
development
there,
what
what
would
work
best
for
the
community
and
best
for
all
of
Evanston?
AI
AJ
AI
AJ
C
AJ
N
A
B
AB
A
AK
AI
AH
My
statement
yes
ma'am.
Thank
you
so
two
things,
one
I'm
on
transportation.
This
is
not
in
my
wor,
but
it's
close
enough
to
my
wor
that
I
have
been
announcing
it
since,
whenever
we
started
talking
about
it
to
just
educate
my
citizens
about
this
I
guess
my
concern
and
what
I
my
hope
is
that
we
still
come
back
with
the
RFP,
that
we
don't
come
back
and
say
it
can
be
affordable
housing
with
a
through
Z
limitations.
AH
Because
you
know
people
want
to
park
their
cars,
not
that
I'm
an
anti
car,
but
I
get
concerns
sitting
here
when
we
talk
about,
let's
increase
in
portable
housing.
Let's
do
these
things,
but
at
the
same
time
we're
talking
about
and
I
know,
you're,
not
saying
that,
but
as
a
community
we're
also
saying,
let's
make
these
restrictions
or
you
know,
I
want
to
park.
My
car
I,
like
my
green
space
or
whatever
it
is
so.
AH
My
hope
is
that,
after
the
community
meeting,
people
will
have
a
clearer
understanding
and
we
still
will
move
forward
because
we
don't
were
not
even
saying-
and
this
is
RFP
we're
not
talking
about
height
or
anything
and
I,
get
concerned
that
in
community
meeting
people
will
come
back
and
say
yes,
I
support
this,
but
it
needs
to
look
like
X,
Y,
&,
Z
and
so
before
we
even
go
to
the
RFP
process.
We're
making
limitations
on
it.
So
my
hope
is
that
that
does
not
happen.
Yeah.
A
Right,
Thank,
you
Thank
You,
alderman
Fleming,
all
right,
so
we
have
a
motion
that
was
seconded
to
table
resolution.
Ten
R
19,
the
City
Council
meeting
to
be
held
on
April
8th,
a
city
clerk
could
take
the
roll.
Please
I
just
need
a
voice,
so
it'll
do
all
right,
so
all
in
favor
any
opposed
okay.
So
this
item
resolution
10
R
19,
has
been
tabled
on
an
8
to
1
vote.
A
AA
Mr.
Marin
City
Council,
this
is
SP
for
its
Illinois
Housing
Development
Authority.
It's
a
request
for
support
of
senior
housing
development.
This
is
a
sixty
unit.
Building
that
evergreen
Realty
and
the
council
for
Jewish
elderly
are
combining
forces
to
build
and
I
think
we
have
David
block
and
his
team
here
to
make
a
presentation
they're
asking
for
support
a
support
letter
to
go
to
Ida.
They
have
an
application
that
must
be
submitted
by
the
15th,
the
very
best
news
that
they
submitted
a
pre-application
and
received
overwhelming
support
from
Ida.
AA
A
AA
To
do
some
alternate
city
council
we've
had
by
the
way
we've
had
two
community
meetings
regarding
this
one
specifically
invitation
to
the
neighborhood
directly
behind
the
commonly
known,
Dairy
Queen,
and
then
a
ward
meeting
where
this
was
majorly
presented.
So
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
on
this.
Go
ahead.
Thank.
AL
You
alderman
Rainey
good
evening.
Mr.
mayor
mr.
Clerk,
members
of
the
city
council,
mr.
city
manager,
my
name
is
David
block
I'm,
the
director
of
development
for
the
evergreen
real
estate
group
and
I
love.
Evanston
I've
lived
here
for
about
13
years,
so
this
project
is
near
and
dear
to
my
heart.
I
would
like
to
introduce
my
partners
on
this
project.
I've
got
three
folks
here
from
CJ
Senior
Life,
formerly
known
as
the
Council
for
Jewish
elderly.
AL
You
guys
could
stand
up
and
back
here,
I've
got
Dan
Livan
and
I've
got
Tom,
Lockwood,
sorry
Dan
with
the
Fagin
sorry
I'm
thinking
of
somebody
else,
Dan
Fagin,
Tom,
Lockwood
and
Laura
Pro
Hoff
here
from
CJ
senior
life,
and
they
operate
the
facility
that
is
now
in
the
old
ANP
at
10:15
Howard
Street.
It
is
used
as
a
Adult
Day
Services
facility.
So
it
is
adults
with
dementia
and
various
other
needs
associated
with
aging,
and
they
run
a
spectacular
program.
AL
They
serve
a
lot
of
Evanston
residents
and
they
bring
people
from
Chicago
to
that
to
that
facility
as
well.
So
I
wanted
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time
to
go
over
what
it
is,
we're
proposing
to
do
here
and
then
open
it
up
for
for
your
questions,
see
if
the
clicker
mm-hmm
there
we
go
so
our
team
is,
is
heavily
evanston
based.
The
one
person
that
I
wasn't
able
to
have
here
today
is
our
architect
Robert
McKee,
who
his
firm
is
urban
works.
He
and
his
wife
Patricia,
have
lived
in
Evanston
for
25
years.
AL
Cj
Senior
Life
has
run
this
facility
on
Howard
Street
for
a
number
of
years
and
an
Argonian
house.
Construction
company
will
be
involved
in
this
as
well,
just
very
briefly,
a
little
bit
about
who
we
are
as
a
primarily
affordable
housing
developer.
We
are
a
firm,
that's
been
around
for
about
20
years,
we've
developed
a
number
of
fairly
well-known
projects
in
and
around
Chicago
land,
including
this
multi
award-winning
project
of
the
adaptive
reuse
of
the
former
st.
AL
Charles
Hospital
out
in
Aurora
project
that
you
may
know
if
you
drive
by
the
intersection
of
Western
and
Pratt
in
Rogers
Park,
one
of
three
new
libraries
combined
with
affordable
senior
housing.
That
was
an
initiative
of
mayor
Emanuel
and
the
Chicago
Housing
Authority.
We
are
developing
two
of
those
three,
so
this
one
is
scheduled
to
open
in
about
three
weeks
the
one
on
Elston
in
the
old
Irving
Park
neighborhood
actually
had
its
Randall
bidding
just
before
the
polar
vortex,
and
so
that's
a
photo
there
of
about
400
people
that
joined
the
mayor.
AL
To
cut
that
ribbon.
We
managed
about
8,000
units
in
13
states,
number
of
properties
in
and
around
Chicago,
not
on
Evanston
so
far,
but
we
do
manage
properties
in
Rogers,
Park
and
many
of
them.
On
the
north
side
of
Chicago
CJ
you've
seen
the
life
opened
in
1972.
They
were
beginning
with
three
services:
homemaker
services
to
help
seniors
age
in
place,
care
management,
to
help
coordinate
social
services
for
seniors,
who
needed
care
from
a
variety
of
providers
and
a
meal
delivery
for
seniors
who
had
trouble
caring
for
themselves
and
going
shopping
and
and
feeding
themselves.
AL
They
operate
more
than
35
different
programs
that
are
both
residential
and
based
in
the
community,
20,000
clients,
annually
and
they're,
actually
also
in
the
affordable
housing
business.
In
fact,
the
way
that
Evergreen
got
to
know
CJ
is
that
we
purchased
two
of
their
buildings
in
Rogers
Park
and
we
have
recapitalized
those
buildings
and
provided
some
much-needed
repairs
through
a
tax
credit
process.
AL
See
I'm
not
gonna,
go
through
this
in
detail,
but
CGA
provided
some
some
information
about
their
demographics
serving
Evanston
residents
and
you'll
see
that
in
their
variety
of
programs,
there
is
a
fairly
large
percentage
of
clients
that
are
served
from
Evanston
the
adult
day
service
program.
Almost
30%
of
those
clients
are
in
Evanston,
be
home,
delivered
meals,
more
than
30%
of
them
are
serving
Evanston
residents
and
the
transportation
program.
AL
You
know
almost
15%
are
served
by
the
buses
you
see
if
there's
no
long,
buses
ribbon
works,
local
locally,
owned
architecture,
firm
with
a
lot
of
experience
and
affordable
housing
won
some
awards
for
a
pretty
wonderful
projects
that
they've
done
so
here's
the
site
and
then
has
the
alderman
mentioned.
It
is
the
CJE
facility
at
10:15,
Howard
Street,
and
that
includes
the
fenced-in
parking
area
where
you
see
the
buses
parked,
as
well
as
the
building
there
with
the
mural
on
it,
and
we
also
have
the
former
Dairy
Queen
property
under
contract.
AL
So
it's
divided
between
what,
in
other
contexts
might
be
called
workforce,
housing
or
affordable
apartments
where
there's
a
fixed
but
affordable,
rent
and
units
that
are
subsidized
with
rental
assistance
to
allow
even
deeper
income.
Targeting
for
seniors
who
are,
maybe
only
have
a
small
Social
Security
check
or
a
small
pension
check
as
their
only
source
of
income.
It's
a
mix
of
one
and
two-bedroom
units,
it's
primarily
one-bedroom
units.
It's
got
about
10%
two-bedroom
units,
one
of
the
interesting
things
about
this
project
is
right.
AL
Now
CJ
is
tax
exempt
because
it's
a
nonprofit
service
organization,
the
Dairy
Queen
property,
pays
about
ten
thousand
dollars
annually
in
taxes.
We
are
anticipating
that
the
entire
project
will
be
taxable,
and
so
the
taxes
will
increase
on
that
entire
property.
From
about
ten
thousand
annually
to
about
seventy
thousand
annually.
AL
So
why
are
we
looking
at
this
now
and
why
are
we
looking
at
this
site?
Well,
obviously,
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
here
at
the
council
about
affordable
housing.
There's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
ongoing
investments
on
Howard,
Street
and
I.
Think
putting
those
two
concepts
together
is
really
a
a
recipe
for
success.
AL
Just
some
very
quick
pictures
of
the
design
see
if
my
laser
works
here.
So
this
little
gray
building
here
it's
about
a
one
and
a
half
story.
Building
is
the
existing
adult
daycare
facility
and
then
the
remainder
of
the
site
is
parking
lot
and
the
Dairy
Queen
is
over
here,
so
we're
proposing
a
four-story
building.
AL
This
is
because
the
parking
lot
that
is
now
at
the
CJE
property
is
fairly
heavily
utilized
both
by
the
buses
that
are
there
by
the
CJ
staff
and
by
the
visitors,
the
families
of
the
clients
of
the
programs.
So,
since
we're
adding,
we
are
adding
a
new
apartment
building
to
this
project,
we
really
thought
it
was
essential
to
essentially
double
the
parking
capacity
of
a
site.
It's
not
a
cheap
solution
to
do
it.
AL
We're
anticipating
about
a
hundred
to
one
hundred
and
twenty
construction
jobs
there'll,
be
two
permanent
positions
at
the
building
plus
retaining
all
of
the
staff
are
now
working
at
the
CJA
facility,
and
these
are
this
is
an
independent
living
building.
So,
even
though
these
are
lower
income
seniors,
we're
anticipating
that
they
are
very
likely
to
be
active
seniors
and
they
will
live
on
Howard
Street
they'll
eat
at
Howard,
Street
restaurants
they'll,
probably
take
the
bus
and
come
to
downtown
Evanston
and
go
shopping
in
on
Howard,
Street
and
elsewhere.
AL
So
we
think
this
is
a
real
contributor
to
to
be
honest
in
community.
We
also
have
as
really
a
part
of
our
operating
philosophy
as
a
company,
a
real
commitment
to
outreach
to
minority
and
women-owned
contractors.
Actually,
our
architect
is
a
minority
and
women-owned
firm.
So,
as
we
move
toward
construction,
we
will
hold
some
outreach
fairs
for
potential
contractors
who
will
be
involved
in
this
project
a
little
bit
about
the
schedule.
AL
We
need
to
file
our
application
with
Ida
and
we
should
know
the
application
is
due
in
about
two
weeks,
we'll
know,
probably
by
May
or
June,
whether
we're
successful
it
will
take
us
through
the
rest
of
this
year
to
close
on
our
financing
we'll
be
under
construction
for
about
a
year,
maybe
twelve,
maybe
fourteen
months
or
so
complete
this
project
by
early
2021
start
leasing
the
project
and
buy
by
summer
of
2021.
We
anticipate
the
building
will
be
fully
occupied,
we're
also
property
manager.
AL
Obviously,
where
we're
all
bound
by
all
fair
housing
law
by
requirements
that
the
the
Ida
the
Illinois
Housing
Development
Authority,
imposes
on
this,
we
are
willing
to
create
a
preference
for
Evanston
residents
in
this,
to
the
extent
that
the
Fair
Housing
law
allows
us
to
do
that.
So
we
will
lurk
with
Johanna
and
we'll
work
with
Sarah
and
we'll
work
with
the
department
here
to
help
shape
that
policy
in
a
way
that
that
makes
sense,
basic
leasing
policy.
AL
We
do
a
fair
amount
of
checking
on
our
potential
residents,
so
we
check
their
criminal
and
credit
history.
We
check
their
prior
landlord
history.
We
do
income
verification
because
you
know
legally,
they
can't
be
above
a
certain
income
level.
That's
that's
pretty
critical
to
these
kinds
of
projects.
We
inspect
these
units,
we're
anticipating
that
the
Cook
County
Housing
Authority
will
likely
inspect
some
of
them,
and
then
we
know
that
Evanston
has
your
own
rental
registration
program
as
well.
AL
So,
in
summary,
just
very
quickly,
we
see
a
number
of
benefits
to
the
city
of
Evanston
for
this
project.
This
will
serve
a
greater
number
of
seniors
at
lower
income
levels
than
your
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
could
by
itself
by
requiring
10%
of
units
in
market
rate
developments
that
are
moving
forward.
AL
The
CGA
facility
is
a
wonderful
service
and
we've
heard
from
family
members
of
clients
who
have
had
positive
experience
as
they
age
and
have
you
know,
difficulties
with
with
problems
like
dementia,
but
it's
an
aging
building
and
it
needs
some
repairs,
and
this
project
will
help
facilitate
those
it'll
put
an
exempt
property
back
on
the
tax
rolls.
We
will
continue
the
ongoing
revitalization
of
Howard
Street
and
again,
as
I
mentioned,
it's
largely
in
Evanston
Bass
team,
just
very
quickly
sources
and
uses
of
funds.
Here
it's
about
a
twenty
three
million
dollar
project.
AL
As
mentioned
in
the
memo,
we
are
requesting
about
two
million
dollars
from
the
city
of
Evanston
through
a
combination
of
your
federal
home
allocation
and
your
existing
affordable
housing
funds
that
have
been
committed
through
the
downtown
projects
and
that
leverages
about
eleven
and
a
half
dollars
for
each
dollar
committed
to
this
project.
It
leverages
an
eleven
and
a
half
eleven
and
a
half
dollars
through
private
equity,
coming
in
through
the
sale,
the
tax
credits
and
through
other
funding
from
Ida.
AL
So
it's
about
thirty
three
thousand
dollars
a
unit
that
we're
requesting
in
in
city
help
with
the
project.
Our
next
steps
we're
going
to
continue
working
on
this.
We
need
to
do
this
as
a
planned
development.
So
we
are
beginning
the
zoning
process
now
so
I'm
certain
that
will
be
coming
before
the
dapper
and
then
we'll
be
coming
before
you
as
we
go
through
that
process.
We
need
to
submit
our
full
application
to
Ida
in
the
coming
weeks
and
continue
our
communication
with
the
neighborhood
so
I.
AL
E
AD
AL
It's
not
a
great
space
for
the
clients
of
that
program,
and
so
this
deck
will
be
much
larger
than
that
and
the
intent
is
that
it
will
be
shared
between
the
CJE
facility
and
the
residents
of
this
building.
So
it'll
be
a
place.
I,
don't
know!
If
they're
going
to
be
used
together,
we
have
we
have
to
work
out
kind
of
the
regulatory
issues
of
that,
but
it
will
serve
as
a
as
a
green
amenity
for
for
both
users
of
the
site.
AH
A
couple
of
questions-
and
some
of
these
are
a
little
bit
for
the
staff,
but
when
you
said
you
will
try
to
allocate
or
prioritize
Evanston
residents
best,
you
can
kinking
Sarah
I.
Imagine
you
can
elaborate
on
that.
So
can
Sarah
elaborate
on
what
would
be
allowed
using
the
funds
he
mentioned
and
this
rental
slide
prioritizing
Evanston
residents
for
rental
units
well,.
AH
Guess
you
are
me,
I'm
thinking
about
the
how
development
and
I
forgot
what
funding
source
and
all
that
was
but
I,
remember
part
of
the
conversation
you
know
for
me
was
you
know
they
were
asking
for
affordable
housing
dollars,
but
they
were
whatever
their
funding.
Source
was
was
a
county
or
statewide
and
they
couldn't
preference,
Evanston
people
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
That.
AE
AH
Right
and
then
my
other
question
was
so
the
home
funds
that
are
listed
here
as
part
of
this
funding
package.
If
you
could
just
educate
me
a
little
bit
on
why
these
funds
weren't
used
for
last
year
and
then
what
are
and
what
our
I
assume
we
had
some
allocate.
You
know
the
284
this
year
that
we
were
gonna
use
that
for
something
well.
AE
Hopefully,
we'll
get
an
allocation
this
year,
we're
still
waiting
is
sitting
and
waiting,
but
we
got
about
three
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
last
year
in
2018
money,
and
we
allocated
some
of
it,
forty
bruh
and
what
we
do
is
we
tend
to
aggregate.
You
know
we
don't
necessarily
allocate
home
funds
every
year
for
development
projects
in
part,
because
if
we
do,
then
all
we
can
do
is
small
projects
where
we're
investing
in
one
or
two
units,
and
basically
we
end
up
paying
almost
the
full
freight
there's,
no
other
way
to
leverage
our
money.
AE
So
by
aggregating
two
years
of
home
funds
that
we
use
for
development
to
put
against
a
larger
project
where
we
can
have
more
impact,
we
can
actually
accomplish
much
more
of
our
housing
goals.
The
other
thing
is
home.
Funds
are
not
something
you
use,
except
with
developers
that
are
very
experienced
with
federal
regulations,
because
it's
a
monster
of
a
program
for
compliance.
Okay
and.
AH
Then
my
I
guess
last
suggestion:
if
I
can
make
one
to
the
developer
is
I
know
you
as
any
rental
developer.
You
have
to
do
credit
and
I
guess.
I
would
hope
that
you
I'm
sure
you
have
experience
with
it's
been
a
low
income
property
manager,
but
you
know
that
you're,
not
leaning
and
I,
don't
want
to
say,
but
obviously
you
can
you're
considerate
of
that
right,
because
people
who
are
low
income-
maybe
don't
have
you
know
a
high
credit
score.
AH
AH
We
have
caught
the
Dairy
Queen
franchise
ourselves
about
that
building
and
so
I
I'm
happy
to
see
something
go
here.
I
guess,
in
terms
of
my
thoughts
of
the
two
million
that
you're
asking
for
I,
was
really
hoping
that
as
a
council,
we
would
start
this
discussion
this
year
moving
forward
in
terms
of
what
alderman
Rainey
proposed
last
year
for
more
kind
of
a
voucher
system.
AH
With
some
of
that
funds,
I
I
know
we
definitely
have
a
need
for
senior
housing
I'm
sure
this
will
be
full
in
just
a
couple
minutes,
but
I
also
was
really
hoping
to
move.
The
conversation
for
some
kind
of
you
know
rental
subsidy
system,
because
I
know
we
also
have
families
or
single
parents
or
whoever
who
this
isn't
designed
to
meet
their
needs,
but
they
still
need
housing,
affordable,
housing
and
if
we
use
up,
you
know
potentially
all
of
the
money
in
our
affordable
housing
fund.
AA
I'm
not
giving
up
on
their
program-
and
this
is
only
one
project-
that
the
money
is
going
to
come
from.
I
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
very
supportive
of
this,
because
when
you
think
about
it,
it
would
take
600
units
in
private
projects
to
produce
60
units
at
10%
and
we're
getting
this
all
in
one
shot.
So
that's
that
was
how
I
justified
this,
but
second
of
all
to
the
woman
from
the
affordable
housing
group
who
said
we
have
to
deal
with
people
who
are
NIMBYs
I,
actually
got
a
letter.
AA
The
entire
council
got
a
letter
tonight
from
a
woman
who
said
yes
in
my
backyard.
Please
support
this
project
so
made
my
day
and
she's
very
supportive,
and
we
are
having
a
neighborhood
meeting
tomorrow,
night
three
neighborhoods,
where
I'm
going
to
talk
about
this
project
so
anyway.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
R
AE
AE
First
before
people
who
are
not
don't
have
the
Evanston
president
preference,
but
one
of
the
things
you
have
to
remember
about
wait
list
is
people
can
come
up
on
the
wait
list
and
they
are
not
in
a
position
to
move
or
take
an
apartment
at
that
point,
and
then
they
don't
necessarily
get
dropped
off.
They
get
another.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
reasons.
People
may
or
may
not
get
an
apartment
right
then
right.
AD
No
I
understand
and
I'm
and
I'm
supportive
of
this,
but
I
do
feel
strongly
that
I
mean
we
have
a
large
contingent
of
people
who
live
in
town
who
need
an
affordable
place
to
live,
not
crying
I
want
to
make
sure
that
they
who
have
invested
and
given
so
much
to
the
community,
have
an
opportunity
to
get
something
back.
We
just
to
build
affordable
units
to
say
we're.
AE
We
will
have
to
talk
with
legal
and
we'll
also
have
to
talk
with
IDA
to
see
you
know,
I
mean
all
of
these.
Things
are
worked
out
in
tenant
selection
plans.
They
in
a
case
like
this,
but
so
we
may
not
have
quite
as
much
flexibility
as
we
do
with
our
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
where
we,
you
know
that
we
don't
have
any
caps
on
how
many
can
be
from
where
I
mean
we
have
a
much
stronger
preference
when
it
is
not
outside
funding.
Okay,.
AD
AE
AD
AD
AB
A
AC
AB
I
want
to
be
I
definitely
want
to
be
supportive,
I'm
glad
we
got
the
clarification
around
the
two
million
dollar
and
rainy
I
was
concerned
also
that
we
are
going
on
two
million
in
one
swoop,
without
understanding
where
all
those
pieces
are
gonna
come
from
it.
It's
a
great
project.
I'm,
not
gonna,
dismiss
that
I'm,
just
questioning
more.
Where
does
that
two
point?
Where
does
that
two
million
come
from
and
if
we
do
take
it
out
of
the
portal
housing,
we
have
other
projects
coming
down
the
pipeline
bitter
that
are
already
been
voted
on.
A
AE
What
I
hope
to
be
able
to
do
is
use
at
least
500,000
of
home,
but
you
know
we
are
waiting
to
find
out
what
happens
to
home.
The
other
thing
and
the
rest
would
come
from
the
affordable
housing
fund,
because
we
don't
have
any
other
specified
sources
for
affordable
housing
that
we
in
theory
could
look
at
using
CDBG.
For
some,
you
can't
build
new
housing.
You
can
use
it
for
infrastructure
and
stuff
like
that,
but
I
don't
know
that.
That's
really
our
best
use
of
those
funds.
AE
One
of
the
things
that
I
will
also
do
is
I'm
going
to
assuming
that
we
have.
The
support
of
the
council
is
I
will
start
talking
to
County,
because
one
of
the
things
that
we
were
able
to
do
on
some
on
the
housing
authority
of
counties,
rehab
of
their
units
was
we
worked
with
the
with
Cook
County
and
did
a
collaborative
home
project,
and
actually
we
put
in
way
less
money
than
they
did,
because
we
didn't
have
anywhere
near
as
much
when
we
did.
AE
The
rehab
of
Walter
can
Pearlman
we
put
in
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
and
the
Cook
County
Housing
the
Cook
County,
not
the
Housing
Authority,
the
regular
quick
county
put
in
about
three
and
a
half
million
of
their
home
I.
Don't
know
that
we
could
get
that
kind
of
deal
ever
again
because
they
had
a
lot
of
stuff
that
they
were
gonna
lose
if
they
didn't
use.
But
we
would
certainly
explore
that.
That's
what
we
all
was
trying
to
do
is
find
other
ways
to
get
other
money.
A
AE
Going
for
from
the
11
we're
going
to
get
75,000
from
the
scrim
horn
project,
we
don't
have
any
other
major
commitments
from
new
development,
so
we
get
one
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
a
year
from
the
Mathur,
because
we
get
that
for
the
right-of-way
under
Davis
and
so
that
we
get
every
year
and
we
usually
get
about
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
demolition
taxes
each
year.
So.
AD
A
Right
so
running
those
numbers
really
quickly.
You
got
like
three
point:
three
million
eight
800,000
in
it
right
now:
sort
of
the
balance,
2.4
million
that
comes
in
from
831
Emerson
125,000
from
Mathur
you
get
each
year
and
then
75,000
from
the
skimmer
horn
pride
project.
Real
quick
is
my
math
right.
3.3
did
I,
miss
yeah
I,
think
it's
that's
9
800!
A
No,
it's
its
3.4
3.4
and
if
you
take
1.5
from
that,
you
end
up
with
what
one
point:
one
point:
nine
million
remaining
okay,
so
one
one
point:
five
is
the
portion
of
the
affordable
housing
fund.
We'd
have
to
put
towards
this
project.
If
you
did
it
to
get
you
2
million
seized
again
just
using
our
estimate
here.
If
she
used
a
half
a
million
from
the
home
funds,
1.5
million,
you
still
got,
you
know
a
little
less
than
2
million
in
this
fund
a
year
from
now.
AA
You
have
never
been
offered
60
units
of
affordable
housing
for
people
who
are
making
30%
and
50%
of
median
income.
This
is
this
is
something
we
probably
will
never
be
offered
again.
I
mean
it's
never
happened
before,
so
the
opportunity
to
pass
on
this
opportunity
would
be
really
folly,
I
believe
it's
$33,000
per
unit.
We
have
spent
so
much
more
on
single
single
units
to
rehab
them.
We
have
spent
fifty
sixty
seventy
one
hundred
and
twenty
two
hundred
thousand
on
units
to
rehab
rehab.
This
is
brand
new
housing
with
elevators
for
seniors.
AA
There
is
no
more
greater
need
than
senior
housing
with
elevators.
You
know
that
I
mean
you've
been
Pearlman.
You've
been
to
the
other
senior
house.
These
folks
need
senior
housing.
This
is
extremely
accessible
for
seniors,
who
don't
need
special
care?
They
very
much
need
it
and
to
quibble
over
how
many
seniors
are
going
to
get
housing
preference
for
Evanson
we're
gonna
make
that
happen.
AA
We
are
going
to
make
that
happen,
and
if
this,
if
this
application
doesn't
go
in
by
February
15
we're
gonna
lose
a
whole
year
another
year,
this
should
have
gone
in
last
year,
but
we
missed
the
deadline.
So
I
really
plead
with
you.
They
might
not
even
get
this
awarded
either
might
turn
us
down.
I
mean
they
turned
down
the.
Why
couple
of
years
ago,
when
they
had
a,
they
had
a
perfect
project
to
renovate
the,
why
I'd
have
turned
them
down
her?
Let's
give
this
a
shot.
AA
A
AD
AD
I
want
to
be
careful
that
we
have
asked
the
questions
and
explained
it
to
people
I
wish
it
wasn't
for
action.
I
wish
it
was
for
introductions,
so
we
could
talk
about
it
a
little
bit
more,
but
we
don't
need
to
talk
about
it.
A
little
bit
more
I
know,
that's
what
you're
gonna
tell
me
and
that's
and
that's
fine.
That's
fine!
AD
I
want
to
make
one
point,
though
I'm
a
personal,
a
personal
point:
I
we
we
do
have
an
affordable
housing
fund
that
comes
from
residential
buildings
that
pay
into
the
have
an
option
of
paying
into
the
fund.
I
I
don't
want
that
to
be
the
reason
why
we
to
prove
buildings
that
would
be
inappropriate
for
their
site
or
not
beautiful
buildings.
I!
A
Just
so
everybody
knows
the
math
that
I
did
was
just
on
the
existing
building
of
8:31
and
the
others.
It
didn't
account
for
any
additional
money
that
may
come
in
from
new
developments
that
had
been
approved.
Okay,
all
right,
seeing
no
more
lights
city
clerk.
Could
you
take?
We
had
a
motion
that
was
seconded.
A
This
is
for
s
before
approval
the
letter
of
support
to
the
Illinois
Housing
Development
Authority,
460
unit,
affordable
senior
housing
development
by
Evergreen
development
at
10:15,
Howard
Street,
and
in
the
letter
it
will
mention
the
city
of
Evanston's
commitment
to
apply
or
allocate
2
million
dollars
to
this
project.
In
some
in
some
form,
we
won't
go
into
the
details
of
how
we're
going
to
get
there
city
clerk.
It's
could
you
I
take
the
roll.
Please
follow
me.

A
Sp
for
approval
of
the
letter
passes
the
City
Council
on
a
nine
to
zero
vote.
Thank
you
mr.
block
for
the
present
for
the
presentation
and
your
investment
here
in
Evanston.
Best
of
luck
with
Ida
we're
going
to
now
move
on
to
call
the
wards
we'll
start
with
the
Alderman's.
Let
me
thank
you
very
much.
AH
No
report
I
just
want
to
thank
Sarah
Sarah
Flags.
She
and
I
had
a
chance
to
chat
at
Adrianne
Willoughby's
service,
and
she
had
very
good
things
to
say
about
him.
His
work
behind
the
scenes
in
the
city
that
I
was
able
to
relay
to
his
family.
So
they
were
very
appreciative
of
hearing
all
the
things
that
people
thought
about
him.
AD
Yeah
Thank
You
alderman
Fleming
for
that
I
want
to
say
something
in
regard
to
a
the
reference
by
alderman
Wilson
at
our
last
meeting
and
the
follow-up
from
mayor
Haggerty
regarding
Harley,
Clarke
I
do
think
it's
important
for
us
to
have
a
dialogue
up
here.
There
was
a
letter
read
into
the
record
tonight
and
I
think
the
community
is
is
sort
of
proceeding
with
without
us
personally,
I'd
rather
sort
of
wait
and
let
this
all
settle
down,
but
I'm,
not
sure
that
it
is
going
to
do
that.
AD
A
AB
AJ

AF
You
on
february
13th,
please
join
us
for
our
fifth
Ward
meeting.
7
p.m.
here
at
the
Civic
Center
in
g300
will
have
a
presentation
by
a
new
business.
Coming
stacked
and
folded
was
also
going
for
a
liquor
license
on
this
week
and
if
you
were
unable
to
make
the
opening
reception
for
the
Sankofa
haiti
art
exhibit
at
gives
morrison.
It
is
there
for
your
viewing
pleasure
for
the
next
30
days.
Please
make
your
way
over
there.
It
is
curated
and
the
collector
is
a
Gabrielle
Jean,
Paul
Aguilar
I
believe
I'm,
saying
that
correctly.
AF
Thank
you,
God
be
for
doing
that
and
I'd
like
to
add
a
note
about
the
proposed
development
at
Emerson
and
Jackson
for
the
record.
The
developer
has
been
invited.
We
have
reached
out
to
have
them
come
and
present
to
the
community,
as
it
is
our
requirement
that
they
do
so
and
at
this
point
we
have
not
received
a
response
so
we're
aware
of
the
development,
and
we
have
not
received
a
response,
but
do
take
comfort
in
the
very
intense
process
they
would
have
to
go
through
to
get
this
development
passed.
AF
One
thing
I
would
like
to
say
it's
on
Black,
History
Month
and
a
couple
things
one
I
would
like
to
remember:
Alderman
Spencer
she
was
a
civil
rights
activist.
She
was
the
first
black
woman
Alderman
and
she
was
instrumental
in
passing
the
fair
housing
ordinance.
She
also
marched
for
open
housing
and
for
integrated
hospitals.
AF
One
more
thing
I'd
like
to
say
in
1940,
black
Evanston
residents
were
as
likely
to
own
their
homes
as
middle-class
and
elite
white
families
that
is
even
with
black
families,
not
having
access
to
lending
lenders
were
refusing
to
lend
to
them,
so
in
20s
and
the
30s
black
families
had
one
third
of
the
population
owned
their
homes.
Just
wanted
to
share
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AK
AA
Thank
you,
there's
going
to
be
a
multiple
neighborhood
meeting
tomorrow
and
Brummel
park.
Neighbors
Kalen,
clyde,
neighbors
and
415
howard
neighbors
are
going
to
meet
tomorrow.
Night
7
o'clock
at
peckish
be
at
peckish
pig
and
encourage
everybody
to
contribute
to
interfaith
action.
Council
on
behalf
of
Adrian
Willoughby.
His
family
is
asked
for
that
and
I
think
that's
a
wonderful
way
to
honor
his
memory.
Thank.
A
C
Mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
so
my
sense
is:
we
want
to
continue
the
affordable
housing
discussions,
so
the
next
fifth
Monday
is
in
April
on
April
29th.
So
unless
there's
an
objection,
we'll
go
ahead
and
schedule
a
meeting
on
April
29th
to
talk
about
affordable
housing,
whatever
whatever
remains
pending
I
think
there
was
the
demolition
tax.
There
was
I,
think
it
will
be
updates
from
the
affordable
housing
plan
committee
that'll
be
done
so
would
propose
that
we
do
that
in
April,
29th
any
objections.
C
Okay,
all
right
so
April
29th,
and
for
that
the
goals
meeting
we
had
planned
for
last
week
was
froze
it
out,
so
it
was
Susie
sent
around
some
dates,
which
immediately
were
not
acceptable
to
several
of
you,
so
I'd
like
to
try
to
get
a
date
right
now.
If
you
have
calendars
Andy,
do
you
have
calendars
handy
so
next
week
on
the
12th
of
February,
which
is
Tuesday
6
o'clock,.
A
C
C
A
AH
W
A
A
But
but
you
know,
alderman
Wilson's
asked
the
city
staff
to
look
at
one
of
the
proposals
that
somebody
brought
forward.
All
them
in
Fisk
subsequently
said
hey.
If
there's
other
proposals
take
a
look,
take
a
look
at
those
we
had.
You
know
some
folks
get
up
at
Council
today
and
say:
hey
this,
the
community's
moving
forward.
You
know
listen
to
us
at
the
end
of
the
day.
It's
the
folks
up
here
at
this
Dyess
that
are
the
stewards
of
city
assets,
and
this
is
a
city
asset,
so
I'm.
AB
AH
A
AD
Have
my
light
on
you
Thank
You,
mr.
mayor
yeah,
I,
just
there's
so
many
things
happening.
I
would
personally
be
preferred
not
to
talk
about
anything
for
a
while
and
let
everything
just
sort
of
settle
down,
but
the
community
apparently
is
moving
on.
There's
landmarks.
Illinois
is
doing
some
sort
of
something
there
and
I
mean
there's.
There's
discussions
happening.
I
if
we're
gonna,
do
something.
If
we're
going
to
consider
the
the
Aldrin
Wilson
proposal
or
the
related
proposal
to
his
referral,
then
we
should
do
every
one.
AH
I
think
if
the
community
is
having
meetings,
which
this
is
a
community
that
has
a
lot
of
meetings,
any
of
us
could
go
to
that
meeting
and
talk
to
them
and
hear
what
they
have
to
say.
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
bring
their
community
meeting
to
the
diocese
just
because
I
mean
they
invited
us
to
their
meeting
so
I
think
anyone
who's
interested
in
what
the
community
is
talking
about
can
go
to
the
community
meeting
and
participate
right.
AD
AD
AH
AF
AD
AC
A
What
why
don't
we
leave
it
if
folks
are
good
to
the
discretion
of
the
city
manager?
Who
knows
the
agenda
really
well,
for
which
night
would
be
appropriate
given
other
items
on
there
as
a
special
order
of
business,
which
is
just
process
oriented
with
Harley
Clark,
okay,
just
process,
it's
just
process
oriented
all
right,
so.
