A
Alderman,
Fisk
and
I
know
aldermen
win
just
finished
up
a
very
long
meeting,
so
she
is
on.
She
is
on
her
way
good
evening.
Everybody
thank
you
for
your
stamina
and
being
here
at
10:45
at
night.
As
we
start,
the
Monday
October
9th
2017
Evanston
City
Council
there
a
couple
quick
announcements:
first
off
I
just
wanted
to
thank
our
interfaith
community.
A
Here
this
evening
there
was
a
service
of
lament
in
hope
at
Second,
Baptist
Church
for
the
Las
Vegas
mass
shooting,
which
occurred
a
week
ago,
and
and
so
I
really
appreciate
that
we
have
a
strong
interfaith
community
here
in
Evanston
to
organize
for
that.
So
thank
you.
Secondly,
we
had
a
proclamation
tonight
that
we
did
in
my
office
for
llamo
ETA
chesses
production
theater
that
has
been
around
for
60
years.
A
So
quite
a
spectacular
amount
of
time,
one
of
our
famous
ETH
s,
grads
Jessica
Mueller
who'll,
actually
be
in
the
performance
this
year
coming
up
next
Sunday
October
15th
at
1:30
at
ETH
s.
So,
congratulations
to
two
young
llamo
I
wanted
to
recognize
someone
here
in
this
in
this
audience
and
I
hope
that
I
have
my
apologize
for
this.
A
I
do
I
do
have
it
I
wanted
her
to
recognize
somebody
in
this
audience
and
I
wanted
to
recognize
them
tonight,
because
tonight
I
have
up
for
appointment,
15
members
of
the
climate
action
workgroup,
which
is
really
really
exciting,
and
there's
lots
of
things
in
this
community
that
start
from
the
ground
up.
They
actually
don't
start
right
up
here
at
City
Council
and
they
start
with
people
like
many
of
yourselves
that
are
in
this
room,
and
tonight
we
have
one
of
those
people
and
it's
Steve
organs.
A
I
know
if
you
would
mind
standing
up,
Steve
I,
know,
you're
I,
know
you're
in
the
back
and
like
I'd
like
to
record
I'd
like
to
stay
standing
for
a
second
Steve.
If
you
don't
mind
I'd
like
to
recognize,
you
know
a
community
late
leader
and
Steve
Perkins
who's
played
a
significant,
significant
role
in
our
fight
against
climate
change.
A
From
our
earliest
days,
17
years
ago,
Steve
convened
the
network
for
Evanston's
future
okay
long
before
any
of
these
groups
that
we're
hearing
right
now
right,
an
umbrella
organization
working
on
various
aspects
of
sustainability
and
raising
community
awareness
and
client
on
climate
change.
He
had
a
vision
that
Evanston
could
make
a
real
difference
in
the
fight
against
climate
change
and
he
prodded
the
City
Council
at
that
time
to
sign
the
u.s.
A
mayor's
climate
protection
agreement,
and
this
was
back
in
2006
and
if
you're
at
the
recent
climate
workshop,
we
talked
about
all
the
different
agreements
and
compacts
that
were
part
of,
but
remember
it
started
way
back
way
back
when
eleven
years
ago
and
Steve
taking
that
initiative,
he
then
proposed
a
city
community
collaboration
to
develop
a
plan
to
achieve
the
emissions
reduction
targets
called
for
in
the
agreement.
This
unique
partnership
of
dozens
of
citizen
and
city
staff
produced
our
very
first
climate
action
plan,
which
was
back
in
2008.
A
He
next
pulled
together
a
number
of
citizens
who
had
helped
develop
the
climate
action
plan
to
form
greener
citizens,
green
or
Evanston,
and
work
with
the
city
to
implement
that
plan.
Thanks
to
this
ongoing
city,
citizen
partnership,
Evanston
is
one
of
the
very
few
communities
in
the
country
to
a
achieve
the
emissions
reduction
goal
set
out
in
the
climate
protection
agreement.
When
it
became
clear
that
Evanston
would
meet
the
targets.
A
First,
climate
action
plan
Steve
was
part
of
a
small
group
who
worked
on
Evanston
sustainability
coordinator
to
develop
our
second
climate
action
plan,
the
livability
plan,
as
we
close
in
on
the
target
that
we
set
in
that
second
plan
and
begin
to
work
on
a
next
plan.
We
want
to
thank
you
Steve
for
all
that,
if
you,
you
have
done
to
make
Evanston
a
true
true
leader
in
sustainability.
C
A
Retired
he
has
retired
from
his
position
as
a
senior
vice
president,
at
the
Center
for
neighborhood
technology
and
sadly,
but
happily,
for
your
family
will
be
moving
to
his
farm
in
Indiana
next
year.
So
thank
you
for
everything
you've
done
to
make
this
community
what
it
is
in
terms
of
climate
change,
Steve.
We
appreciate
it.
A
All
right
last,
lastly,
if
you
have
been
tied
up
in
city,
council
meetings
and
committee
meetings
all
day,
so
Chicago
Cubs
won
the
the
third
game.
How
about
that
too?
So
how
about
that
so
they're
up
to
2
to
1
against
the
Nationals
game
floor,
if
you're
to
sit
tomorrow,
438
p.m.
and
hopefully
the
Cubs
can
can
clinch
it
so
that
wraps
up
my
announcements,
mr.
city
manager,
do
you
have
any
announcements,
I.
D
He
said
Don
Antonio,
so
many
titles
I'm,
not
sure
which
hatch
is
worried
tonight,
but
I'm
sure
she
will
tell
us
and
they're
just
going
to
talk
real
briefly
about
open
houses
of
Chicago
and
really
the
impacts
that
it's
having
in
Everson,
where
people
can
go
this
weekend.
So,
ladies
good
evening,
thank.
E
You
I
will
go
over
this
rather
brief
briefly,
but
it
is
pretty
exciting,
as
the
city
manager
suggested.
Three
years
ago,
Evanston
became
the
first
community
outside
of
Chicago
proper,
to
be
part
of
this
weekend
long
event
that
opens
sites
that
are
normally
not
open
to
the
public.
For
the
weekend.
There
are
over
200
sites
in
this
event,
throughout
Chicago
and
now
in
Evanston
and
now
in
Oak
Park
as
well.
E
E
15
are
in
Evanston,
one
is
the
Baha'I
temple
and
the
other
one
is
in
Skokie
at
the
Skokie
Swift
station,
downtown
Evanston
and
the
Convention
and
Visitor's
Bureau
puts
together
a
brochure,
and
we
also
purchase
a
significant
amount
of
advertising
to
bring
people
that
are
coming
here
to
our
community
or
commercial
districts.
So
we
print
10,000
brochures
to
be
at
these
individual
sites.
They're
handed
out,
we
hope
people
come
and
shop
and
eat
in
our
restaurants
and
then
very
wisely.
F
People
that
will
be
coming
here,
hello,
everybody.
So,
as
you
know,
or
many
of
you
know,
the
hat
I'm
wearing
right
now
is
Evanston
maid,
which
is
a
Community
Arts
Initiative
that
happens
in
the
month
of
June.
The
mission
is
to
help
artists
and
creatives
engage
with
the
general
public,
so
in
June.
Typically,
we
have
a
month-long
art
exhibit
and
studio
tours.
Were
artists
open
up
their
studios
and
free
open
to
the
public.
People
can
go
check
out
what
they
have
Jeana
very
smartly
at
the
North
Shore
CVB
said
hey.
F
Why
don't
you
capture
some
of
the
21,000
humans
who
are
coming
to
town
that
day?
So
we
reactivated
the
Evanston
made
map.
There
will
be
a
thousand
of
these
printed
through
five
locations
that
invite
some
artists
to
open
up
their
studios.
There's
also
a
wonderful
installation,
that's
happening
in
nine
yards
across
West,
Evanston,
called
terrain
biennial,
there's
also
five
new
murals
that
have
gone
up
very
recently
in
Evanston.
All
of
those
are
on
the
map.
If
I
can
approach
the
bench
and
give
a
stack
of
stickers
that
you
may
be
passed
to.
E
And
then
my
last
shameless
pitch
is
for
downtown
Evanston's
Oktoberfest,
which
is
this
Sunday
from
one
to
six
of
the
farmers
market
parking
lot.
This
is
a
fundraiser
for
downtown
Evanston.
Last
year
we
were
able
to
get
or
capture
400
walk-ups,
which
we
believe
her,
because
the
Evanston
or
the
open
house
Chicago
event
was
happening,
and
so
we
went
from
500
people
to
900
people
last
year
and
we
hope
for
even
more
and
for
no
rain.
Although
we
do
have
a
ton
so
come
out,
even
if
it
does
free.
D
And
thanks
to
both
of
you
for
your
leadership,
but
it's
really
a
tremendous
event
and
I
think
you
know:
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
collaborative.
You
know
there
were
logos
up
on
the
screen.
There
are
lots
of
organizations
involved,
downtown
Evanston,
the
chamber
of
the
CVB
mr.
Hart's
council,
I'm,
sorry
Northwestern.
So
again
we
talked
about
leveraging
all
these
great
operas
in
Evanston.
This
is
just
one
of
those
excellent
examples,
so
thank
you
both
and
then.
D
So
this
is
Saturday
October
14th
from
9:00
to
noon,
and
it's
really
an
opportunity
for
people
who
maybe
don't
have
time
to
have
regular
volunteer
opportunities,
but
are
looking
for
something
to
do
during
the
course
of
the
morning
to
help
in
Evanston
agency.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
to
do
that.
So
that's
this
coming
Saturday
from
92
mr.
mayor.
That
concludes
my
public
announcements.
B
I
just
want
to
introduce
Eduardo
Gomez,
who
is
a
new
permanent
deputy
clerk
interviewed
Eduardo
in
August
I
believe
a
while
ago
and
Eduardo
very
much
impressed
me
Eduardo.
If
you
want
to
come
and
just
say
hello
and
introduce
yourself
to
the
council,
Eduardo
is
bilingual,
which
we
were
extremely
happy
to
have
in
the
office
and
across
from
the
collector.
So
if
you
happen
to
an
eat
translation
you
can
pop
over
to
the
clerk's
office,
and
Edythe
will
need
to
get
it
water,
one
of
those
little
buttons
that
says,
yo,
hablo,
espanol,
I,
believe
I.
G
H
G
Grateful
for
this
current
role
that
I've
been
given
and
I
will
do
my
best
to
uphold
the
duties
and
responsibilities
to
both
the
city
and
the
residents
we
represent.
Los
respond.
I
blunt
this:
let's
get
our
semester
off.
You
seen
a
study,
but
I
said
ruthless
culture
pregunta,
although
that's
getting
on
that's
yes,
thank
you.
Thank.
B
A
Thank
you,
clerk
read
and
welcome.
Welcome
Eduardo,
it's
good
to
have
you
here
all
right.
Next,
up
on
our
agenda
is
public
comment.
You
guys
know
this
should
be
all
that
I
give
every
time.
I'll
just
add
it's
10:45
at
night,
so
I
think
we've
got
about
15
people
signed
up
for
public
comments.
So
the
way
our
comment
works,
we
get
a
45-minute
period
if
we
reduce
and
get
our
public
comment
done
before.
45
minutes,
there's
lots
of
cheering
that
goes
on
from
the
Daiya
sup
here
and
also
from
other
people
in
the
audience.
A
So
if
what
you're
about
to
say
has
already
been
said,
you
can
get
up
and
say:
hey
I'm
gonna
pass
it's
already
been
said,
but
please
keep
your
comments
to
no
more
three
minutes
and
and
we'll
begin
public
comment.
I
will
give
you
a
little
tick
if
you're
getting
close
to
three
minutes,
so
we
can
wrap
it
up.
We've
got
Rachel
human,
then
Alejandra,
Ibanez
and
then
Ed
War,
Rivera,
okay,.
A
I
Behalf
of
the
Evanston
welcoming
coalition
and
I'm,
going
to
read
this
so
close
quickly
and
I.
Don't
forget:
I
want
to
thank
mayor
Haggerty
and
your
councilmembers
and
chief
Eddington
for
considering
the
removal
of
Evans
that
are
from
Evanston's,
welcoming
ordinance
of
for
carve-outs
and
I'm,
not
going
to
explain
what
carve-outs
are
but
I'm
going
to
tell
you
what
they
do
and
why
we
I
so
badly
needed
to
have
them
taken
out.
Carve-Outs
violate
constitutionally
guaranteed
due
process.
I
That's
the
Fourth
Amendment
of
the
Constitution,
and
because
of
this
violation,
they
expose
our
city
to
litigation
that
the
city
of
Chicago
is
already
fighting
aside
from
the
fact
that
the
people
who
are
subject
to
it
do
not
receive
due
process.
So
the
limit
at
the
elimination
of
these
carve-outs
is
an
important
step
and
we're
very
thankful
to
the
legal
department
for
admitting
them
from
the
revision
of
our
welcoming
ordered
ordinance.
The
original
welcoming
ordinance
that
was
passed
a
while
ago.
I
We
are
in
violation
of
due
process.
By
allowing
that
to
happen,
this
happens
all
the
time
with
ice.
They
rarely
come
with
a
judicial
warrant
and
they
just
pick
people
up
and
people
don't
know
what
what
to
look
for,
and
now
there
aren't
even
any
warrants
being
being
shown
there.
People
are
just
picked
up
and
put
through
the
process
immediately.
Education.
I
Without
those
three
words,
our
revision
fails
to
ensure
protection
equivalent
to
that
provided
by
the
Illinois
trust
Act.
So
again,
we
thank
you
for
your
efforts,
thus
far
toward
making
Evanston's
welcoming
ordinance
one
of
the
strongest
in
the
country.
We
hope
that
we
can
take
this
to
the
finish
line
with
the
addition
of
those
three
key
words
signed
by
a
judge.
Okay,.
A
J
A
K
Evening,
mayor
Haggerty
and
members
of
City
Council,
my
name
is
Alejandra
Vanya's
I
reside
at
1400,
Kirk,
Street
I've
come
to
support
and
thank
members
of
this
body
for
listening
to
the
evidence
and
welcoming
coalition,
of
which
I
am
a
member.
We
and
allies
neighbors
have
called
for
an
update
welcoming
city
ordinance
that
could
reflect
our
shared
values
and
commitments
to
providing
due
process
to
all
those
that
call
Evanston
home,
including
our
fellow
immigrant
families.
K
I
want
to
give
an
extra
special
thanks
to
my
neighbor
and
friend
Cecily
Fleming,
who
is
not
my
older
person
for
her
support
in
in
our
learning
of
the
process
and
moving
this
process
along
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
real
quickly.
My
story:
I
arrived
to
Evanston
with
my
parents
and
siblings
in
1988,
my
family
fled
the
military
dictatorship
of
Chile
in
the
late
70s,
and
by
the
time
we
got
to
Evanston,
we
had
lived
as
undocumented
immigrants
for
over
a
decade.
K
Luckily,
because
of
federal
immigration
reform,
I
had
an
opportunity
to
become
a
naturalized
citizen
that
happened
about
a
year
after
graduating
from
et
HS
I
had
an
opportunity
to
be
legalized.
I
went
on
to
college,
worked
for
the
Illinois
House
of
Representatives
in
the
Illinois
Senate
and
actually
had
a
great
opportunity
in
career.
My
husband
and
three
sons
moved
back
to
Evanston.
He
now
sits
on
the
district.
65
school
board
sends
his
regards
I.
Think
he's
still
in
his
meeting
as
we
speak.
K
I
just
want
to
show
that
becoming
a
legal,
permanent
resident
and
citizen
had
a
tremendous
impact
on
my
life,
as
you
can
imagine.
That
is
not
an
opportunity
available
to
millions
of
undocumented
immigrants
that
call
the
u.s.
home
with
this
new
federal
administration.
Millions
of
families
are
now
vulnerable
to
detention
and
deportation.
I
commend
you
and
thank
you
for
making
our
welcoming
city
ordinance
the
best.
It
could
be.
K
I
have
seen
too
many
times
how
immigrants
are
racially
profiled
and
I
need
to
be
my
brother's
keeper
and
my
sisters.
Keeper
I
want
to
look
forward
to
the
day
where
I
don't
have
to
fear
for
the
safety
of
my
brown
sons
or
their
black
and
brown
peers.
Let's
work
to
make
that
a
reality.
Thank
you.
Thank.
K
Actually
will
submit
to
you
the
written
testimony
of
Eduardo
Vera.
He
is
an
Evanston
resident
et
HS
grad
at
Oakland,
Community
College.
He
and
his
family
have
what's
called
TPS
status,
temporary
protective
status,
it's
similar
to
daca.
That
program
is
about
to
be
ended
by
the
President
and
he
and
his
family
are
likely
to
be
deported
and
he
wanted
to
share
his
testimony.
So
he
had
to
leave
and.
A
L
A
L
Is
Regina
Santana,
I'm
gonna.
Be
brief
brief,
because,
most
of
what
I
had
to
say,
they
already
said
about
the
legislation.
I
am
an
immigrant
from
Brazil
of
being
in
the
u.s.
for
20
years
I'm,
a
member
of
this
community
I
see
them
two
boards,
I
like
to
think
of
myself
as
this
tree,
who
has
roots
very
strong
roots
in
Brazil,
but
I
bear
my
fruits
in
this
country.
Through
my
work,
my
dedication,
my
volunteer
work
I
would
like,
as
a
proud
immigrant
from
Brazil,
to
invite
you
to
procreate
our
beloved
community.
L
Our
safety,
regardless
of
our
status
and
the
documentation
that
one
might
possess,
is
only
real
and
tangible
when
the
most
vulnerable
amongst
us
can
feel
safe.
Let
us
be
the
lighthouse
to
this
nation.
We
have
here
the
goodwill
in
evanston.
Let's
make
Evanston
at
a
distance
welcoming
ordinance
the
strongest
in
the
country.
Let's
amend
it,
creates
that
specific
language
that
make
it
strong.
Please
vote.
Yes,
thank
you
great.
M
M
Again
I,
really
appreciate
all
the
amazing
aldermen
here
tonight
and
hearing
me
out
I'm
here
tonight
to
encourage
supporting
the
welcoming
city
ordinance.
You
know
everything
that's
been
said
previously.
I
totally
agree
with
my
family
started
nature's
perspective
here
in
Evanston
thirty-eight
years
ago,
and
people
sometimes
ask
me
what
is
the
most
important
part
of
our
business
and
I
easily
respond
to
them?
It's
our
employees
truly,
you
know
my
company
would
be
nothing
without
my
employees.
M
They
are
the
only
thing
that
separates
us
from
our
competition.
My
employees
are
the
keystone
of
our
organization
and
have
been
the
only
reason
why
our
company
is
as
successful
as
it
currently
is.
We
currently
have
53
employees
and
90%
of
my
workforce
is
of
Latino
or
Hispanic
heritage.
Since
November
of
last
year,
a
few
of
my
employees
have
been
very
frightened
for
some
of
their
family
and
friends.
Some
of
them
are
actually
Evanston
residents
that
are
that
are
very
concerned.
M
You
know,
since
the
current
administration
and
the
rhetoric
that's
coming
from
our
White
House
is
really
negative
and
you
know
we
believe
that
the
only
way
to
create
some
stability
and
safety
for
our
community
is
to
pass
the
welcoming
ordinance
with
the
amendments
that
were
they
were
requested
previously.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
Thanks.
A
M
D
N
The
Commission
membership
requirements
call
for
one
of
the
nine
members
to
be
an
expert
or
advocate
for
people
with
disabilities,
which
is
fine,
but
we
think
it's
interesting
that
it
does
not
specify
members
with
experience
in
advocating
for
racial
equity
merely
stating
that
the
Commission
must
reflect
community.
Demographics
does
not
mean
that
those
chosen
will
be
experienced.
Advocates
advocates
for
marginalized
communities,
particularly
Latinos
and
African
Americans.
We
believe
it
muddies
the
waters
to
talk
about
diversity
and
inclusion.
We
all
value
diversity,
but
diversity
without
without
specific
metrics.
N
That
will
include
that
will
include
equity
and
that
will
address
outcomes
and
outcomes
in
sorry,
I
lost
my
place
here.
The
crucial
need
is
equity
and
opportunities,
resources
and
outcomes.
Inclusion
can
be
merely
faces
at
the
table
without
power
or
a
voice.
The
need
is
not
merely
for
a
commission
to
guide
and
assist,
but
to
remove
explicit
and
implicit
policies
that
obstruct
equity
and
implement
an
equity
lens
in
all
city
departments.
Finally,
the
ordinance
calls
for
only
three
of
the
nine
commission
members
to
be
experienced
in
social
justice
advocacy.
N
We
ask
that,
in
addition
to
the
one
alderman
that
all
members
be
experienced
in
social
justice
advocacy
and
that
they
should
come
from
local
organizations
involved
in
equity
works
such
as
the
YWCA
ople,
the
Evanson
collective,
the
Center
for
neighborhood
protection,
Latino
resources,
open
communities
and
the
n-double-a-cp.
We
would
also
strongly
suggest
that
the
Commission
work
with
the
government
Alliance
on
race
and
equity,
which
is
the
leading
national
authority
on
implementing
equity
and
municipal
governments,
and
has
led
to
substantial
changes
in
equity,
metrics
for
st.
Paul's,
Seattle,
Madison
and
other
cities.
N
A
O
My
name
is
Rodney,
Green
and
I'll,
say
good
evening
to
Mayor
Haggerty
city
clerk,
Alderman
and
city
manager,
I'm
here
today
to
talk
on
two
items
on
your
agenda
for
the
day.
First
SP
two
I
spoke
to
it
once
before,
and
I
still
go
against
having
the
clerk
or
the
council
allocating
money
to
hire
a
personal
lawyer
to
advise
the
clerk
in
those
duties
a
court
to
this
to
his
office.
O
He
talked
about.
The
clerk
is
the
only
full-time
elected
official
who
is
not
fulfilled
in
a
full-time
position
in
an
office
since
its
election
five
months
ago,
just
sitting
for
the
fifth
month.
There
is
also
in
discrepancies
and
things
that
he
has
done,
that
I
think
that
the
council
should
not
allow
to
allocate
money.
Now,
if
there's
someone
to
train
him,
then
it
should
have
done
it
prior
to
this
position
in
the
job.
Second
thing
I
want
to
talk
about,
is
1829
Simpson.
O
Both
the
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
Zoning
Commission
on
September
25th,
both
said
to
come
to
the
council,
a
denial
of
that
proposed
project
for
that
for
that
area
now
know
that
the
councillor
has
the
right
to
veto
it
or
variety.
But
if
you
have
people
on
a
committee
who
gives
opinions
to
the
council
and
the
council
doesn't
listen
to
that
committee,
why
should
that
committee
be
in
force?
Why
should
you
not
listen
to
the
people
who
are
responding
and
I?
O
Think
I
last
asked
for
a
list
of
the
emails
that
Ottoman
rule
said
that
she
received
I
want
to
find
out
who
these
people
are.
Who
said
she
see
that
supports
this,
and
then
the
reason
why,
if
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
Zoning
Commission
went
against
it
watching
the
council
approve
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
Name
is
James
Condon,
quite
frankly,
I
have
no
intention
of
coming
to
this
council
meeting,
but
I
was
given
an
email
from
a
friend
advising
me
of
the
City
Clerk's
request
for
an
authorization
budget
allocation
for
hiring
a
special
legal
counsel.
Quite
frankly,
I
was
flabbergasted
by
this
request
and
in
essence,
it's
asking
for
the
expenditure,
an
open-ended
expenditure
of
public
funds
to
hire
an
expensive
outside
counsel,
so
to
teach
the
city
clerk
what
the
duties
and
responsibilities
of
his
job
are.
C
This
is
not
an
a
proper
expenditure
of
public
funds.
We
had
an
election
earlier
this
year,
the
city
clerk
presented
himself
to
the
public
as
somebody
who
had
the
ability,
knowledge
and
skills
to
do
the
job.
He
has
a
substantial
public
salary,
which
effect
was
it
augmented
by
the
council
last
year,
and
if
he
now
feels
that
it's
necessary
for
somebody
to
to
him
in
what
the
responsibilities
and
duties
of
his
job
are,
that's
an
expenditure
that
should
be
made
out
of
his
private
funds,
not
on
the
public
funds.
In
a
time
of
financial
scarcity.
C
P
Q
P
P
Basically,
that
seems
that
the
power
of
the
office
is
slowly
being
diminished
and
that's
not
really
an
acceptable
thing.
Mr.
Bob
Noyce
has
a
habit
of
taking
things
and
that's
what
he's
done
his
entire
career.
It
looks
like
he
just
basically
disband
the
township
and
took
the
money.
Our
public
television
station
was
basically
gutted
by
him
and
some
other
thing
a
lot
of
other
things,
unfortunately,
and
we're
in
a
six
million
dollar
budget
hole
here,
so
I'm
not
I'm,
not
I'm,
against
our
city
clerk.
P
You
say
it's
not
about
Don
Reed,
it's
about
the
office
being
protected
because
we
need
public,
basically
something
independent
of
the
city.
We
don't
need
the
law
department
running
things
we,
the
city
clerk,
does
have
a
role.
So
that's
important
to
me
and
I
think
we
have
a
city
manager
that
has
way
too
much
money
on
a
budge.
No
city
manager,
I
recall,
had
an
eight
million
dollar
budget
here.
I
think
this
budget
needs
to
be
scrutinized
in
possibly
mr.
Bob
would
have
a
much
smaller
budget
to
manage
and
he
should
manage
the
whole
city.
P
So
if
we
want
to
talk
about
Madhu
Valerie,
we
need
to
look
at
mr.
Bob
ku,
it's
and
its
performance.
There
I'm
very
concerned,
as
I
stated
in
another
meeting
here
tonight
that
this,
because
we
have
a
budget
crisis,
the
City
Council
will
want
to
start
selling
things
and
you
know
I'm
we're
neck
I'm
against
selling
any
public
assets
such
as
parks
and
public
buildings
and
things.
Yes,
we
can
sell
things,
you
know
if
you've
got
old
vehicles,
that's
fine,
sell
them,
but
you
know
not
sell
our
parks.
P
It's
not
acceptable
and
I
sort
of
listened.
This
thing
open,
house
Chicago
and
it
would
have
been
nice
to
have
Harley
Clark
opened
by
the
way.
I
think
that's
been
sabotage
for
quite
some
time
here.
Through
a
lot
of
misinformation.
We
talked
about
misinformation.
You
know
that
P
and
D
tonight
the
citizens
are
giving
out
misinformation.
P
Well,
quite
honestly,
a
lot
of
staff
memos
I
Rev,
read
over
the
years
here,
have
been
a
lot
of
misinformation,
a
lot
of
mistakes
and
a
lot
of
problems,
and
when,
if
this
has
been
pointed
out,
nobody
comes
back
and
basically
says
anything.
I
want
to
say
some
years
ago,
I
basically
noted
a
problem
in
an
excavation
watching
city
employees,
work
and
I
took
it
to
the
committee
at
the
time
and
after
I
explained
it
all.
P
P
R
Evening,
thank
you
Mary
good
evening.
Everyone,
everyone
at
home,
I'm,
going
to
be
real
brief.
Missin
Kathleen
I
have
two
things
to
talk
about
about
the
restaurant
and
the
sanctuary
city.
Hopefully
I'll
get
to
that,
because
I've
been
trying
to
get
it
get
to
that
ever
since
to
human
services
meeting
again
anyway.
I
will
be
brief
and
speak
with
simplistic
than
word
and
surrett
sincerity.
In
my
heart,
I
spoke
to
a
couple
of
City
ornaments
left
phone
messages.
R
R
R
That
Street
is
busy
Simpson
Street
is
busy.
Take
a
look
drive-by
there.
There
was
a
time
playground
there.
We
have
been
waiting
for
a
sign
for
Butler
and
Twix
Park,
since
the
bridge
was
built
even
before
we
have
yet
to
see
no
money.
We
wanted
a
West
Side
library
on
that
Street
Simpson.
We
have
yet
to
see
it,
but
we
see
rabbit
crown
with
a
library
over
there,
but
not
in
the
fifth
Ward.
What
is
the
problem
here?
R
Discrimination
I
believe
so
education
is
very
important
in
the
fifth
Ward.
We
need
a
library.
There
now
be
a
good
place
for
parking
garbage
issues.
Animals
coming
from
the
canal.
Banks
check
it
out.
Sometimes
they
come
up.
Also
I.
Think
mr.
green
mentioned
about
the
the
committee's
that
went
for
this.
Why
I
didn't
know
all
the
men
sort
of?
Did
you
not
read
your
report?
Do
we
need
a
committee?
If
you
all
gonna
come
and
change
your
whole
way
of
looking
at
things?
Let's
get
rid
of
it,
not.
R
You,
okay,
the
soul,
food
issue:
I
have
to
apologize
for
the
outburst.
Okay,
I'll
tell
guys
for
that.
I
lost
my
cool,
but
I
believe
in
my
part,
I
believe
in
the
city
with
the
park.
Okay
and
I
believe
soul.
Food
do
not
belong
to
just
African
Americans
and
black
folks,
where
I
come
from
soul.
Food
means,
when
you
put
your
foot
in
it
when
you
couldn't
cook
whether
it's
Italian
Irish
Italian
of
beliefs,
whatever
that
means
you
can
cook
so
okay.
Now,
let
me
just
say:
that's
real,
quick
I!
Don't.
R
Gonna
wrap
it
up.
I
will
leave
some
people
with
this
to
think
about.
We
are
going
down
a
straight
road
here
in
the
fifth
Ward.
There's
two
lanes
both
of
us
on
that's
going
the
same
distance.
Okay,
now
I
would
hope
that
those
two
lanes
at
the
end
of
the
destination
will
come
together,
I'm
waiting
for
that
they
want
to
be
sincere,
I'm,
truly
waiting
for
that
thing
boy.
Oh
thank.
R
A
S
Good
evening,
mayor,
Haggerty
and
city
council,
it's
great
to
see
so
many
people
come
out
to
speak
on
these
projects
that
they
are
so
passionate
about.
We
are
still
waiting
for
City
Council
to
please
answer
our
questions
about
zoning,
our
five
explanation,
your
affordable
housing,
ordinance,
minimum
size
per
unit
and
fair
housing
laws
that
are
affecting
our
community
here
in
the
second
and
now
in
the
fourth
Ward's.
There
are
very
serious
concerns
about
the
16
unit:
how
project
at
the
corner,
dumpster
and
pitner.
S
We
ask
that
you
please
review
the
residents
concerns
and
please
do
not
issue
any
permits
unless
and
until
all
issues
are
resolved.
We
cannot
understand
how
this
project,
or
this
286
unit,
all
being
project
ever
passed
through
the
damper
committee.
These
projects
will
be
affecting
all
residents
in
their
communities,
our
quality
of
life,
our
home
values
and
the
look
and
feel
of
our
communities.
S
Please
do
not
destroy
the
character
of
the
second
or
the
fourth
Ward,
with
projects
that
don't
fit
in
the
area
and
don't
meet
the
codes
and
ordinance
ordinances
that
the
city
very
carefully
set
up
for
all
to
follow.
Why
is
it
that
we,
the
residents,
need
to
be
zoning,
analysts
and
research,
all
codes
and
ordinances,
and
then
have
to
plead
our
cases
with
you?
The
City
Council
I
was
very
surprised
to
learn
that
Evanston
has
28
active
boards
commissions
and
committees
and
each
report
to
a
Standing
Committee
of
the
City
Council.
S
T
T
Here's
the
benefit
that
is
supposed
to
bring
to
the
city
outweighed
the
impact
on
the
neighbor.
We
never
did
hear
what
the
benefits
from
this
restaurant
would
be
to
the
community
or
to
the
city.
This
was
change.
Our
three
was
changed
so
that
we
would
not
have
to
be
worried
about
spot
zoning
at
one
while
in
the
fifth
Ward
there
was
lots
of
spot
zoning
going
on.
We
said
that
could
make
that
area
a
moderate
to
affordable
housing
unit
are
added
to
tweeks
park.
T
So
you
should
vote
tonight
B,
no,
because
this
project
will
fall
in
the
area
of
spawn
zone
E,
and
that
is
why
the
neighbors
have
fought
each
time
it
came
up
for
a
rezoning,
so
please
listen
to
those
residents
over
there
that
pay
property
tax
that
lives
there
that
have
been
there
for
over
twenty
forty
years
to
keep.
It
are
three
what
they
asked
for.
Thank
you
thank.
A
J
U
J
C
J
Q
J
V
Just
wanted
to
do
a
public,
thank
you
to
the
committee.
They
did
work
very
hard,
they
I'm
sure
emailed
many
of
us,
but
because
I'm
Alejandra's
neighbor
got
to
talk
to
her
a
lot,
but
they
were
right
on
top
of
what
the
trust
exit,
what
our
ordinance
needed
to
say.
I'm
grant
I
wanted
to
commend
Mario.
He
was
really
excellent
to
work
with
and
really
I
think,
took
their
feelings
into
consideration
and
updated
this,
and
he
was
very
prompt,
so
I'm
happy
to
see
us
doing
this
to
address.
V
Miss
decree,
cuz
I
know
that
she
and
I
had
this
conversation.
I
do
want
us
to
be
a
welcoming
City
for
all
people
african-americans.
We
do
have
some
work
to
do
to
feel
totally
or
some
you
know
they
feel
totally
welcome
here.
I
think
we
I'm
still
working
to
bridge
that
divide
where
it
does
exist,
but
this
ordinance
is
necessary
because
we
are
dealing
with
people
who
are
undocumented
and
we
are
dealing
with
an
administration
that
has
not
been
very
friendly.
V
A
A
W
X
B
A
Right
so
SP
one
ordinance,
one
12-0
17
passes
nine
to
nothing.
Okay,
SP,
two
all
right!
Thank
you!
Thank
you.
Everybody
for
your
support
out
there,
sp2
authorization
and
budget
allocation
primaries
special
legal
counsel
for
the
city
clerk
I'm
gonna.
Ask
the
city
clerk
to
to
go
ahead
and
introduce
this
yeah.
B
So
I'm
gonna
ask
that
all
men
suffer
didn't
hold
this
in
to
the
next
wing,
but
I
do
want
to.
You
know,
make
something
clear:
you
know
when
Barack
Obama
left
office,
he
invited
Donald
Trump
to
the
White,
House
and
Obama
engaged
in
a
practice
a
standard
practice
in
our
modern
democracy,
and
this
was
the
peaceful
transition
of
power.
You
know,
I
wasn't
afforded
that
opportunity,
but
I
want
to
make
clear
that
this
is
not
to
inform
me
about
my
roles
and
duties
this
clerk.
B
This
is
a
disagreement
that
I
have
with
our
city,
manager
and
legal
counsel
as
to
who
has
the
hiring
and
firing
power
in
the
clerk's
office.
You
know,
as
was
expressed
to
me
today
by
my
new
deputy
clerk.
He
because
he
believes
that
the
city
manager
is
his
boss
and
not
the
elected
clerk.
He
has
concerns
that
he
could
potentially
be
fired
for
reasons
that
are
potentially
political
and
so
I
want
clarification
as
to
who
has
the
hiring
and
firing
authority
in
the
clerk's
office.
That
is
what
this
is
about.
B
D
Y
D
Z
Z
A
H
J
A
D
Mayor
members,
the
council,
you
have
in
your
packet
a
staffs
report,
I
think
the
major
issue,
a
couple
major
issues.
One
is
that
we
are
recommending
to
move
forward
with
a
furlough
day
for
staff
on
Friday
November,
the
10th
that
is
the
federal
holiday
for
Veterans
Day.
So
individuals
who
work
in
this
building
who
work
in
Parks
Recreation
Community
Services,
would
those
facilities
would
be
closed
to
the
public.
D
Those
employees
would
not
report
to
work
and
would
not
be
paid
for
that
day
for
employees
that
work
in
portions
of
our
public
works
department
in
our
Police
and
Fire
Department.
Those
individuals
who
are
on
shift
would
be
dealt
with
with
an
alternate
plan
and
would
have
one
day
of
leave
removed
from
their
banks
in
order
to
accommodate
that
mr.
Lyons's
report
I
think
details
where
we
are
at
otherwise.
D
We
are
projecting
at
this
juncture
that
we
will
end
the
year
in
the
positive
but
just
barely,
and
that
is
all
detailed
on
on
page
33
of
the
packet,
where
we
are
now
projecting
an
$85,000
surplus
with
the
changes
that
have
been
made.
So
mr.
Merz
the
council,
we
can
go
through
this
in
more
detail
if
the
council
would
like,
but
we
wanted
to
just
report
where
we
are
at.
We
have
the
budget
for
next
year
was
released
on
Friday.
Those
discussions
are
scheduled
to
begin
with
the
council.
Next
Monday.
H
A
W
Okay,
I
was
just
requested
to
remove
m1.
W
Mr.
mayor
members
of
council
I'd
like
to
move
item,

2017

Excuse
me
through
September
17
in
dollar
amount
of
two
million
seven
hundred
sixty-seven
five
hundred
twenty-three
and
forty-one
cents.
I'd
also
like
to
move
item
a
to
bills,
list
October,
tenth,
twenty
seventeenth
in
the
dollar
amount
of
four
million
five
hundred
and
forty
eight
nine
hundred
and
sixty

and
93
cents
they're
both

Okay,.
D
W
Breath

I'd
like

in
the

nine
hundred
and

That's
going
to
be
in
the
dollar
amount
of
one
hundred
and
thirty
one
880
and
twenty
five
cents.
W
That's
our
action.
I'd
also
like
to
move
the
purchase
of
trees,
planning
services
from
suburban
tree
consortium
and
that's
going
to
be
in
the
dollar
amount
of
fifty
four
thousand
three
hundred
sixty
seven.
That's
for
action
item
three
point:
four,
which
is
the
January

pension
and
fire
foot,
so
I
think
we're
just
there's.
There's
a
action
item
with
this
motion
for
our
staff
to
explore.
But
we
took
care
of
this
all
in
one
motion
right,
so
we
don't
need
to
call
it.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Thank

Marty.
W
So

to
provide
centralized
cashier

and
that's
gonna,
be
in
the
dollar
amount
of

hundred
and
twenty
thousand
I'd
also
like
to
move
item.
A
three
point:
six
is
the
contract
award
with
Groot
Industries
Inc
for
residential
refuge
collection
and
that's
going
to
be
in
the
dollar
amount
of
1
million.
Five
hundred
excuse
the
annual
cost
of
1
million
five
hundred
eighty

thirty
six.
W
That's
for
action
item
three
point:
seven:
contract
award
with
Lakeshore
recycling
systems
for
condo
refuge
collection
and
that's
going
to
be
the
unit
price
of
625,
resulting
in
an
annual
cost
of
four
hundred
and
twenty
three
thousand
dollars.
That's
for
action
item
a
3.8
is

That's
for

there's
also
the
solid
waste
for
analysis,
so
staff
is
recommending
the
City
Council

W

All

report.
Mr.

J
AA
For
appointment
to
the
climate
action
and
resilience
plan
working
group,
the
following
proposed
members,
lee
kuan
cheng-chun
Robert,
Dean,
Joel,
Freeman,
Jerry,

John,
Moore,
Mariana,
Oliver,
Judy,
guy
on
save
and
run
and
Lonnie
Wilson,
and
then
I'd
also
like
to
mention.
There's
been
a
request
to
have
someone
that
the
committee
be
expanded
by
one
person
to
include
someone
from
officially
representing
the
environment
board.
So
I
guess.
A
A
Q
A
J
And
thank
you
for
that
and
I'll
just
be
completely
honest
in
the
process
of
reviewing
the
hundreds
of
pages
of
other
materials
and
the
hours
of
other
meeting
recordings,
etc.
I
did
get
a
phone
call
and
had
a
conversation
with
someone
who
had
some
questions
and
concerns
about
this.
We
also
had
a
public
speaker.
I
just
simply
didn't
have
time
an
opportunity
to
go
through
and
review
this
as
closely
as
I'd
like
to
I.
V
A
W
D
A
U
You,
yes,
thank
you.
Mr.
mayor,
once
again,
I
had
my
office
hours
last
Thursday
at
brothers,
cave
from
7:00
a.m.
to
10:00
a.m.
I.
Thank
you
to
everyone
who
came
I
want
to
just
stress
to
people
that
those
I
have
those
office
hours
the
first
Thursday
of
every
month,
and
everyone
is
welcome.
Then
the
next
third
war
town
hall
meeting
is
Thursday
October
26
at
Lincoln
school
from
7:00
to
8:30
p.m.
thank
you
thank.
H
X
X
Have
been
on
this
council
since
1984,
with
the
exception
of
four
years
and
the
first
time
the
council
did
not
get
minutes
in
all
those
years
was
the
last
time
we
did
not
get
minutes
and
this
time
so
it's
been
since
September
25.
Until
tonight,
I
wrote
to
the
city,
clerk
I
think
two
times
at
least
maybe
three
times
asking
to
have
a
copy
of
those
minutes.
It
is
to
me
it
is
unconscionable
that
the
one
main
duty
that
the
city
clerk
has
is
to
write
those
minutes
and
provide
them
to
the
council
for
review.
X
Prior
to
the
following
council
meeting
I
received
tonight,
this
transmission
from
the
city
clerk
attached
to
the
council
minutes
from
October
25,
which
he
means
after
September
25
according
to
the
Open
Meetings
Act,
and
he
quotes
a
statute.
A
public
body
shall
approve
the
minutes
of
its
open
meeting
within
30
days
after
that
meeting
or
the
public
by
the
second
subsequent
regular
meeting.
Whichever
is
later
so
I'm
responding
saying
you
know
what
you're
telling
me
is
that
the
public
body
has
30
days
to
approve
the
minutes.
X
It
nowhere
says
that
the
clerk
has
30
days
to
provide
us
with
the
minutes.
I
I
am
asking
this
council
to
support
me
in
that
this
city
clerk
needs
to
perform
the
duties
that
every
other
City
Clerk
has
performed
in
the
last
at
least
34
years,
and
provide
this
council
prior
to
the
next
meeting.
The
minutes
from
tonight's
meeting
going
forward
every
single
council
meeting
we
get
the
minutes
after
the
last
meeting.
It
is,
it
is
the
only
job
the
city
clerk
has
a
deadline
to
perform
it.
The
city
clerk
no
longer
has
passports.
X
The
city
clerk
no
longer
has
transfer
stamps
the
city
clerk
I,
don't
know
what
the
heck
the
city
clerk
does,
but
the
city
clerk
has
no
reason
not
to
perform
the
writing
of
the
minutes
and
to
provide
them
to
us.
I
just
cannot
imagine
all
of
you
being
satisfied
with
not
getting
the
meet
the
minutes
since
September
25.
V
I
hope
you
like
to
forgot
to
do
this
last
time.
Thank
the
our
Evanston
Fire
Department
is
cooking
fire
department
for
having
the
Evanston
experience.
I
thought
I
was
gonna
suffocate
with
the
mask,
but
they
were
very
good.
Paramedics
and
I
did
not
suffocate,
but
it
was.
It
was
great
for
me
to
see
exactly
what
they
do
and
I
realized
that
I
would
be
a
horrible
fireman.
So
I
want
to
appreciate
them
publicly
for
all
the
hard
work
they
do.
V
Also
alderman,
Rainey
and
I
will
be
having
a
joint
Ward
meeting
this
Thursday
7
o'clock
at
levy
center.
We
are
CFO,
Marty
Lyons
will
be
coming
to
go
over
the
budget
with
us,
so
I
am
going
to
implore,
8th
and
9th
Ward
residents
to
come
out
because,
as
you
have
heard,
we
have
a
budget
shortfall
and
it's
important
that
you
all
are
paying
attention
now
and
lending
your
voice
before
we
make
some
final
decisions.
So
seven
o'clock
levy,
Center.
X
A
W
You
I'd
also
like
to
echo
alderman
Fleming's
remarks
regarding
the
firemen
training.
It
was
a
great
experience
learning
just
how
physical
demand
that
you
know
the
responsibility
is
I
also
want
to
thank
the
residents
who
came
out
this
past
weekend,
along
with
the
Evanston
police
department,
staffed
special
shout
out
to
Angela
daily.
Why
I
try
to
commit
to
this
activity
every
year.
It's
a
walk,
a
mile
in
her
shoes
that
the
benefits
Northwest
casa,
the
the
event,
is-
is
geared
around
sexual
violence,
prevention
against
women.
W
It's
a
really
eye-opening
event,
and
from
the
moment
that
I
put
my
feet
in
the
shoes.
It
just
reminds
me
just
how
difficult
it
is,
but,
more
importantly
than
the
pain
and
suffering
with
wearing
shoes
for
20
minutes
that
women
wear
all
day
is
the
awareness
and
the
statistics
around
the
the
Violent
Crimes,
so
I
just
thank
them
thank
Anjali
and
great
event,
and
then
this
Thursday
October
20,
our
second
Ward
meeting,
will
be
rescheduled
to
next
month.
Thank
you,
Thank.
