C
A
A
Thank
you,
eight
members
being
present,
we
have
a
quorum
and
are
prepared
to
do
our
work.
We
begin
with
the
mayor's
public
announcements
of
which
I
have
won.
A
I'm
told
that
all
nine
members
of
city
council,
as
well
as
myself,
are
signing
the
following
apology
letter
regarding
the
events
that
were
that
we've
learned
so
much
about
regarding
sexual
misconduct
among
city
of
evanston
employees.
I'm
going
to
read
the
letter
in
in
total.
A
A
We
apologize
for
a
workplace,
workplace
culture
that
allowed
sexual
harassment
to
occur
and
we're
sorry
that
you
had
to
experience
oppressive,
uncomfortable
and
dangerous
behavior.
We
apologize
to
your
family's
friends
in
the
community
of
evanston
both
for
the
harms
city
staff
and
policies
allowed
to
happen
and
for
our
delay.
A
A
We
have
begun
by
implementing
mandatory
sexual
harassment,
training
for
seasonal
staff
and
will
expand
this
to
include
participants
and
employees
in
the
mayor's
summer
youth
employment
program.
We
have
also
commissioned
an
independent
investigation,
which
will
help
determine
what
actions
and
inactions
led
to
this
harm,
so
we
can
take
additional
corrective
measures.
A
A
On
a
personal
note,
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
their
robust
engagement
in
this
process.
I
want
to
particularly
thank
councilmember
newsma,
who
played
a
very
significant
role
in
shepherding
this
statement
through
the
opinions
of
10,
very
opinionated
people
on
an
enormously
difficult
and
emotional
topic,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
various
council
members,
particularly
council
member
reed,
who
who
initially
spurred
us
to
take
this
action,
and
I
want
to
be
very,
very,
very
clear
that
this
letter
is
not
an
end
by
any
means
of
our
commitment,
nor
of
our
intended
action.
A
The
investigation,
which
is
ongoing
is
serious
and
professional,
and
we
anticipate
that
we
will
learn
a
great
deal
from
the
outcome
of
that
investigation
and
we
will
follow
that
information
wherever
it
takes
us,
because
the
stakes
of
this
question
could
not
be
higher
thanks.
Finally,
and
especially
as
the
letter
indicates
to
the
community
members
who,
notwithstanding
the
harm
that
was
done
to
them,
had
the
courage
to
come
forward
and
to
the
many
other
community
members
who've
been
a
part
of
pushing
us
to
take
these
actions.
A
D
Good
evening,
mayor
bis,
clerk,
mendoza
members
of
city
council,
there's
nothing
to
report
tonight.
B
Yes,
I
just
I
want
to
acknowledge
receipt
of
the
evanston
residents
who
are
in
favor
of
a
dog
park
beach
at
clark's
dog
park
at
clark
square.
Sorry
that
would
be

mark
levin,

michael
kristen,
andrews

copique,
sarah
foss
frost.
B
Rachel
heyman
and
edward
alyssa
tropin
michael
sir
nuke
adam
goodman,
and
we
also
receive
one
person
who
is
not
in
favor
of
the
clark
clark
square
dog
park,
k,
israelite
and
also
comments
from
we
received
public
comment
from
rick
curtis
concerned
about
the
tiff
and
arpa
comments
from
seoul
anderson
from
the
evanston
community
foundation
and
joel
freeman.
B
The
scanning
and
digitization
will
include
all
historical
ordinances
records
and
minutes
that
date
back
to
night
1863
when
evanston
was
founded,
records
include
fundamental
manual,
indexing
of
titles
and
dates.
This
partnership
is
an
example
of
the
work
departments
can
do
together.
The
move
here
in
the
city
of
edmondson
can
do
together
to
move
their
information
into
digital
platforms.
B
I
want
to
thank
luke
stowe
administrative
service
director
and
chief
information
officer
and
malika
sumar
civic
technology
analyst
for
providing
support
and
guidance
to
help
digitize
records
in
the
clerk's
office.
This
work
could
not
have
been
done
without
you.
I
also
want
to
thank
melissa
parker
for
sharing
her
depart.
What
her
department
has
done
and
for
providing
guidance
on
this
project
the
clerk's
office
will
notify
which
records
on
its
website
will
not
be
available
until
this
project
is
completed.
B
I
also
want
to
announce
that
I
have
been
appointed
a
local
registrar
by
the
department,
the
illinois
department
of
public
health
and
the
clerk's
office
will
begin
providing
vital
records,
services,
death
and
birth
certificates.
Beginning
october
18th,
the
clerk's
office
looks
forward
to
serving
evanston
residents
once
more
and
we
will
continue
to
provide
this
announcement
to
ensure
it
gets
to
as
many
evanston
residents
as
possible
for
the
next
few
weeks.
Thank
you.
A
E
I'm
sorry
I
just
to
clerk
mendoza's
comments
there,
one
great
job
on
getting
vital
records
back
to
the
city
of
evanston
that
was
removed
a
few
years
ago
from
the
former
health
department.
So
it's
a
great
service
that
we
have
back.
I'm
curious
with
the
digitization
of
records.
I
know
in
our
office
we
did
quite
a
bit
of
that
in
the
last
administration.
Is
there
a
cost
or
how
are
you
achieving.
E
B
So
that's
why
it
is
a
partnership
between
the
clerk's
office
and
administrative
services
and
our
chief
information
officer,
luke
stowe.
They
will
help
pay
for
the
cost
of
digitizing
our
records
and
they
will
also
help
make
to
make
sure
that
the
records
make
it
onto
the
city
of
evanston
website
and
that
it's
organized
in
a
way
where
our
residents
can
access
that
information.
E
A
Thank
you.
I
was
also
getting
enthusiastic
texts
from
my
historian
spouse
about
the
value
of
digitization
for
historians,
so
for
public
comment
this
evening
every
speaker
will
be
given
three
minutes.
A
F
Am
I
allowed
to
remove
my
mask
in
this
venue
yeah?
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
bess
city,
council
members
and
ms
gandersky.
My
name
is
joel
freeman.
Many
of
you
have
read
recent
emails
from
me
and
from
others
requesting
greater
arpa
funding
to
advance
the
actions
towards
carp
and
ej
goals
without
repeating
those
requests.
I
have
these
thoughts
for
you.
F
In
late
2018,
the
evanston
city
council
approved
the
resolution
adopting
the
climate
action
resiliency
plan,
which
we
affectionately
shortened.
A
carp
and
the
goals
quote
unquote
the
goals
therein
evanston
really
received
a
lot
of
credit
for
that
step,
and
for
that
I'm
grateful
also
grateful
for
the
privilege
of
serving
as
co-chair
of
the
carp
working
group
with
other
inspired
citizens
and
the
assistance
of
city
staff.
F
Here
in
evanston,
a
number
of
working
group
members
have
continued
to
focus
on
carp,
related
efforts
mined
primarily
through
citizens,
greener
evanston,
a
plan
such
as
carp
is
necessary
to
achieve
significant
goals,
but
the
words
of
a
plan
accomplish
little
unless
real
actions
are
taken
here
in
the
midwest
instead
of
near
the
ocean.
I
think
we've
yet
to
be
fully
impressed
by
what
doing
nothing
can
do
to
our
world.
F
F
G
Good
evening
my
name
is
lily
aaron
and
I'm
a
senior
at
eths
living
in
the
sixth
ward,
in
addition
to
being
a
full-time
student,
I'm
on
the
board
of
citizens,
greener,
evanston
and
I'm
the
hub
coordinator
of
e-town
sunrise
among
numerous
other
environmental
and
racial
justice
involvements
additionally
I'll
be
attending
the
united
nations
climate
conference
in
glasgow.
Scotland,
as
a
part
of
the
youth
climate
advocacy
group.
It's
our
future.
G
I
spend
my
very
limited
time,
organizing
for
climate
justice,
as
I'm
only
17,
and
would
prefer
if
my
generation
as
well
as
fellow
evanstonians,
could
exist
comfortably
in
a
world
that
is
reliably
habitable.
The
stakes
have
never
been
higher
and
the
intersectionality
of
climate
of
the
climate
crisis
has
never
been
more
evident
as
predominantly
black.
Indigenous
and
people
of
color
bear
the
brunt
of
storms,
fires,
floods,
heat
waves,
food
apartheids
and
droughts.
G
G
Listening
to
the
experts
at
the
evanson
environmental
board's,
carp,
implementation
task
force
and
at
citizens
greener,
evanston
are
prime
ways
of
moving
forward.
Again,
we
demand
no
less
than
5
million
dollars
from
arpa
to
carp,
implementation
and
environmental
justice.
On
behalf
of
my
generation.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you
and
good
evening.
My
name
is
andrew
schluckman,
I'm
a
resident
of
the
third
ward
and
I'm
a
member
of
environmental
justice.
Evanston
one
year
ago
september
24th,
the
city
council
adopted
resolution
72
r20
entitled
a
resolution
to
support
environmental
justice.
H
H
H
This
would
include
a
robust
public
engagement
program
along
with
face-to-face
discussions
with
affected
residents
from
all
quarters
of
the
city.
We
expect
the
recommendations
from
this
investigation
will
serve
as
the
basis
for
a
city-wide
environmental
justice
mitigation
plan,
and
we
hope
the
city
council
will
support
this
important
next
step.
H
A
Thank
you.
This
concludes
the
people
who
signed
up
to
speak
in
person.
So
we
moved
to
our
online
public
comment
speakers.
The
first
will
be
kim
hoopengarner,
followed
by
doreen
price.
I
Hi,
thank
you
daniel
good
evening,
I'm
kim
hoopengarner,
I'm
the
director
of
advancement
with
northlight,
I'm
here
to
share
the
reasons
why
it
makes
sense
for
the
city
of
evanston
to
invest
arpa
funds
in
north
light's,
new
theater
center
on
church
street.
First,
we
bring
tremendous
economic
economic
development
to
downtown
evanston.
We
commissioned
an
independent
economic
study
two
years
ago,
which
estimates
that
northlight
will
generate
56
million
dollars
in
new
spending
and
over
450
thousand
dollars
in
city
tax
revenue.
I
Over
the
first
five
years
in
operation,
we
will
bring
in
over
50
000
people
each
year,
people
who
will
dine
in
our
restaurants
and
shop
in
our
stores.
Second,
we
bring
tremendous
civic
impact
to
the
entire
city.
We
engage
with
over
4
000
students
every
year,
including
hundreds
in
district
65
and
202.
I
We
also
work
with
a
number
of
evanston
based
social
service
organizations,
which
is
incredibly
unique
for
arts
organizations.
We
use
the
fundamentals
of
theater
to
advance
the
missions
of
the
youth
job
center,
evanston
scholars,
the
ywca
evanston
north
shore,
the
mcgaw
ymc
levy,
senior
center
family
focus.
You
and
more.
This
list
will
only
expand
once
we're
physically
located
in
downtown
evanston,
and
finally,
we
initiated
a
free
ticket
program
arts
for
everyone.
Three
years
ago,
in
the
pilot
program,
we
distributed
over
600
tickets
to
individuals
throughout
athenston.
I
A
Is
ms
price,
are
you
able
to
hear
me.
J
Okay,
so
I'm
in
alignment
with
the
other
speakers
regarding
environmental
justice
and
the
other
public
goods
that
have
yet
to
be
identified
and
added
to
arpa
funds.
The
one
exception
has
been
in
addition
to
enough
in
light
of
what
others
on
the
city
council
have
said,
their
community
polling
has
shown
up
and
it
has
to
do
more
money
with
cigarettes.
Human
services.
J
I've
failed
to
understand
why?
Not
because
when
you
look
at
the
list
of
arpa
priorities,
of
course
it's
trillions
of
dollars,
but
you
see
equal
amounts
at
a
higher
low,
like
9
trillion
of
obviously
not
all
for
us,
but
anyway,
nine
trillion
for
human
services
and
then
also
another.
J
I
don't
know
nine
trillion
or
something
equivalent,
something
like
some
equivalent
for
public
health,
centers
and
both
are
in
dire
need
for
the
city
as
I've
mentioned,
and
you
have
to
have
some
plan
formed
or
some
group
formed,
and
maybe
maybe
this
could
be
an
initiative
from
those
who
are
most
effective.
J
I
need
the
help
as
as
bobby
represents,
and
unassistedly
and
others
on
the
council
know
in
terms
from
their
own
own
community,
which
is
a
mix
of
people
who
can
help
others
and
the
others
who
want
help,
but
don't
want
to
ask
or
are
afraid
to
ask
so
on
their
behalf
and
on
behalf
of
the
whole
community
is
definitely
something
that
will
help
heal
us
and
something
fully
intended
by
the
money.
All
our
taxes
go
for
in
addition
to
the
city's
government
as
well
and
would
be
a
great
great
fit
for
us.
J
A
Thank
you.
That
concludes
public
comment,
which
brings
us
to
special
orders
of
business.
E
I'll
move
item
sp1
continue
discussion
of
opera
funds
and
potential
allocation.
A
Is
there
a
second
council
member
read
moves
item
sp1
council
member
braithwaite
seconds,
so
we
have
those
up
here,
as
well
as
the
community
have
access
to
the
the
packet
which
was
designed
by
staff
in
reaction
to
the
meeting
we
had
two
weeks
ago,
where
council
was
eager
to
hear
both
some
directional
changes
from
what
had
been
proposed
prior
to
two
weeks
ago,
as
well
as
just
some
greater
fleshing
out
and
and
detail
and
more
granularity,
and
I
think
both
of
those
requests
are
reflected
in
the
packet
that
we
have.
A
Another
thing
that's
reflected
is
that
I
think
council
has
expressed
a
a
view
that,
rather
than
having
presentations
that
mirror
what's
already
been
made
public
several
days
ago,
we
should
just
assume
that
folks
have
read
the
material
and
jump
straight
to
discussion.
So
I'm
happy
to
turn
it
over
ms
gender,
given
my
understanding
because
you
didn't
want
to
give
a
formal
presentation,
is
that
right.
D
That
is
correct.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
kelly,
gandersky
deputy
city
manager
per
council's
direction.
We
met
over
several
hours
last
week,
members
of
the
finance
team
and
housing
and
grants
manager,
sarah
flax,
as
well
as
economic
development,
paul
zalmazak,
to
really
kind
of
flesh
out
the
parameters
of
arpa.
We
went
back
to
the
beginning
and
said
what
was
the
reason
that
arpa
was
designed
for
what
was
the
reason
this
grant
was
given,
and
we
really
honed
in
on
the
parameters
surrounding
arpa.
D
D
So
I
think
that's
really
important
for
us
to
understand
as
well,
and
one
of
the
realizations
we
had
in
this
group
meeting
over
the
last
week
was
that
in
certain
areas
of
the
city
in
the
low-mad
census
block
groups,
it
almost
almost
all
of
these
categories,
qualify
in
one
way
or
another,
so
carp
folds
in
to
affordable
housing,
it
can
fold
into
water
and
sewage
issues.
D
It
could
fold
into
many
other
cross
categories
as
well,
so
we
aren't
so
limited
on
just
necessarily
pigeonholing
certain
topics
that
we've
discussed
before
into
one
bucket
per
se
that
can
kind
of
cross-reference
another
bucket.
So
I
think
that
can
be
helpful
when
staff
is
collaborating
with
council
and
some
of
these
initiatives.
So
I'm
keeping
my
word
short
tonight
and
we
have
our
team
here
to
answer
questions
for
council.
If
you
need-
and
we
look
forward
to
hearing
the
discussion.
K
Yes,
thank
you.
So
I
have
a
couple
of
things
in
the
memo
it
talks
about
based
on
direction
given
from
city
council
that
economic
development
went
up
from
5.5
to
7
million,
I'm
not
on
that
development
committee.
So
maybe
that
was
you
know.
It
looks
like
they've
had
a
couple
conversations
there,
but
I
do
remember
several
times
saying
we
wanted
the
social
services
bucket
to
be
increased,
and
it's
now
in
this
packet
at
four
million.
Was
it
at
three
before
it
was
at
three
before
so
it's
gone
up,
one
million.
K
K
It
just
doesn't
balance
out
of
my
mind,
given
you
know
all
the
work
that
I
know
social
services
agencies
did
to
keep.
You
know
our
citizens
healthy
and
fed
and
everything
else
during
the
pandemic.
My
other
comment
here
is
in
the
social
service
bucket.
I
know
I
made
the
recommendation
for
700
000
for
guaranteed
income,
but
I'm
not
sure
why
that
was
coming
out
of
social
services
instead
of
out
of
inclusive
and
equitable
recovery.
K
It
seems,
like
you
know,
the
way
we're
trying
to
design
that
program
is
to
help
those
people
who
going
into
the
pandemic
need
the
most
support
in
terms
of
cash
assistance.
So
it
seems,
like
that's
more
of
a
recovery
item
to
me
and
not
a
social
service
item.
I
guess
in
my
mind
the
other
comment
that
I
had
was
about
hazard
pay.
So
I'm
glad
to
see
it's
on
here.
K
I
don't
know
when
we're
supposed
to
get
long
ago
I
had
asked
for
information
about
who
qualifies
and
what
we
think
those
costs
would
be
and
that
hasn't
been
provided
yet
that
I've
seen
so
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
that
we've
already
put
a
dollar
number
on
hazard
pay
for
our
staff.
K
K
You
know
this
is
before
we
had
in
95
mask
and
all
that
stuff,
very
close
proximity
to
each
other
and
to
the
citizens
to
provide
a
need
for
them,
and
those
staff
were
not.
You
know,
given
any
kind
of
hazard,
pay
that
I
that
I
know
of
and
then
my
only
other
comment
and
I'll
turn
it
over
is
the
fee.
K
Let
me
see
sorry
what's
on
here
for,
like
I
know
we
talked
about
the
so
there
was
the
equipment
replacement
for
last
year,
then
there's
also
more
equipment
spending
for
this
year
and
then
there's
additional
operational
requests,
and
so
I
I
really
would
like
it.
I
appreciate
that
this
document
does
go
further
than
last
time,
but
you
know
I
know
this.
This
money
was
for
kind
of
revenue,
loss
and
replace
things,
but
you
know
I
am
concerned
we
have
so
much
money
going
to
these
operational
requests,
although
I
don't
know
what
they
are
versus
again.
K
Something
that's
going
towards
the
citizen
base.
City
manager
story
talked
about
other
funds
that
were
available
for
social
service
agencies
that
she
was
going
to
have.
I
think
a
staff
be
available
to
help
non-profits
or
social
service
agencies
to
assess,
and
I
don't
know
that
that
ever
came
to
fruition,
but
I
think
it's
worth
us
kind
of
just
thinking
really
long
and
hard
about.
I
mean
if
we
were
to
go
into
another
pandemic.
Those
are
the
people
who
are
gonna.
H
D
Sure
I
can
address
some
of
that
in
part
I
again,
while
we're
allocating
we're
proposing
to
allocate
around
4
million
of
social
services
what
we
discovered
in
in
hashing
this
out
over
the
past
week
or
so,
is
that
some
of
this
cross
references
into
other
categories
of
funding,
so
in
the
very
last
page,
miss
flax
put
together
a
handout
showing
what
other
forms
of
assistance
are
available
for
certain
social
services.
So
that's
one
area
of
additional
funding,
that's
available,
but
secondly,.
D
It's
and
it's
kind
of
difficult
to
explain
on
paper
in
some
ways,
but
some
of
these
areas,
cross-reference
so
inclusive
and
equitable
recovery-
could
also
work
into
the
social
services
category.
So
we
can
take
some
from
there
and
depending
on
what
the
allocation
is
for
or
we
could
do
it
for
water
and
sewer
infrastructure
needs
depending
upon
the
area
of
the
city
as
well,
so
it
this
is
just
giving
us
a
jumping
off
point.
I
would
say
for
where
we
can
kind
of
keep
arpa
budgeted.
But
by
no
means
is
this
like
exclusive.
D
K
Just
for
clarification,
are
there
other
funding
allocations
that
are
available
for
business
communities?
I
I
mean
I'm
just
asking
that,
because
I
remember
when
the
charizard
came,
it
seemed
like
there
was
tons
of
money
for
businesses,
but
at
least
my
understanding
and
I
wasn't
in
the
space
nonprofits
didn't
feel
like
money
was
flowing
that
fast
to
them.
L
Good
good
evening,
members
of
the
city
council,
clerk
mendoza,
certainly
the
the
the
current
the
current.
I
guess
status
of
federal
money.
It's
pretty
limited
for
for
businesses.
Today
I
mean
the
one
of
the
reasons
is
because
there's
an
arpa
program
out
there
to
invest
in
business
recovery.
D
So
the
500
000
was
my
best
estimate
given
on
the
number
of
staff
that
we
have
and
who,
who
may
qualify.
Directors
are
still
cross-referencing
their
list
with
hr
and
there's
parameters
on
who
can
actually
qualify
under
arpa,
so
arpa's,
very
strict
about
who
you
know,
salary
requirements
and
and
who's
qualified.
So
that's
going
to
take
a
little
time
to
flesh
out,
but
we've
begun
the
work
on
that
all.
M
I'd
also
like
to
speak
to
the
hazard
pay,
I
feel
like
that
number
is
low,
just
looking,
for
example,
I
think
this
should
be
addressed
the
fire
department.
I
know
they
made
serious
concessions,
two
years
of
concessions,
I
believe
at
2.2,
five
percent
raise
they
gave
up
for
two
years,
and
I
think
this
amounts
to
anywhere
to
six
to
seven
thousand
dollars
that
they
they
offered
up.
M
In
goodwill,
I'm
seeing
that
the
city
was
going
to
be
facing,
you
know
multi-million
dollar
deficit,
and
I
think
I
mean
we
all
know
that
they
they
had
to
reinvent
the
way
they
they
operated,
both
in
the
streets
and
in
the
firehouse
constantly
taking
severe
precautions.
M
Many
of
them
were
forced
to
stay
in
hotels
for
weeks
in
order
not
to
bring
home
the
virus,
and
I
mean
just
incredible
duress-
and
I
just
think
it's
it's-
you
know
we
really
need
to
recognize
what
they
went
through
and
the
sacrifice
that
they
did
make
to
give
back
those.
What
what
had
already
been
previously
negotiated
in
that
series.
M
The
union
had
already
previously
negotiated
two
years
of
raise
and
they
gave
that
up,
and
so
I
think
at
this
point
we
really
need
to
honor
those
front
line
workers
and
the
work
they
did
and
and
acknowledge
that
they
came
to
the
table
in
goodwill
and
gave
back
that
money.
I
think
now
that
we're
in
a
different
economic
situation,
we
should
consider
refunding
or
bringing
you
know,
making
making
those
previously
negotiated
contracts
whole
for
20
years,
21
and
22..
So
I
think
that
would
push
that
number
make
that
number
considerably
larger.
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
just
to
clarify
our
rules
of
engagement
for
this
evening.
Are
we?
How
are
we
limiting
our
time
to
con,
so
we
can
conduct
an
efficient
conversation
here.
A
Great
question,
and
by
the
way
you
didn't
ask
this
question,
but
I'll
answer
it,
so
the
intent
is
not
to
vote
on
anything
tonight.
The
intent
is
to
react
to
this
packet
to
give
staff
direction
and
perhaps
come
back
with
something
we
could
vote
on
it.
The
next
time
we
discuss
this.
A
We
have
one
agenda
and
one
agenda
item
only
and
it's
super
important.
So
what
I've
been
doing
is
I've
been
operating
under
the
ordinary
rules
in
terms
of
my
time,
keeping
no
one
has
run
out
of
time
yet,
and
I
was
planning
on
being
more
loose
with
time
limitations
than
than
I
ordinarily
am,
but
obviously
the
rules
allow
any
of
you
to
to
impose
our
time
limits.
If,
if
you
feel
like
things,
go
on
for
too
long.
C
Thank
you.
I
will
try
and
keep
it
tight
right
now,
but
you
know
reserve
the
right
to
jump
back
into
this
discussion
a
little
bit
later.
This
evening
I
have
a
question
or
two
and
and
some
concerns
before
I
get
to
those.
I
just
want
to
express
my
personal
philosophy
when
it
comes
to
our
approach
to
spending
this
herp
of
money
and
one
from
a
strategic
level,
I
think
we're
on
the
right
track.
Now
you
know,
defining
at
a
at
a
high
level
perspective
how
we
want
to
spend
this
money.
C
Defining
the
the
definitions
of
these
buckets
is
important
and
then
how
much
money
we
are
putting
into
each
bucket
is
important.
I
think
so
we're
on
the
right
track
tonight.
I
think
this
underscores
the
fact
that
this
would
be
an
easier
conversation
and
we'd
already
be
further
along
if
we
had
a
strategic
plan.
So
as
a
side
note,
I'm
really
happy
that
we
have
that
process
and
that
that
process
is
unfolding,
but
we
don't
want
to
wait
for
that
to
to
wrap
up
before.
C
We
continue
this
discussion
so
we're
on
the
right
track
here
then,
how
do
we
want
to
spend
this
money?
I
do
think.
The
first
thing
we
want
to
do
is
catch
up
with
city
finances,
that's
kind
of
the
main
priority.
You
know.
One
of
the
main
reasons
that
arpa
exists
in
the
first
place
is
to
dig
us
out
of
the
hole-
and
you
know
bring
us
hopefully
back
up
to
power
where
we
would
have
been
otherwise
with
with
the
city
budget
expenses
and
that
you
know
without
going
overboard.
C
You
know
we
could
easily
spend
all
this
money
on
city
stuff
and
not
make
any
real
impact
in
the
community.
You
know
other
than
you
know
on
the
the
city's.
You
know
financial
statement
and
we
don't
want
to
do
that.
C
We
do
want
to
take
advantage
of
this
opportunity
to
really
make
some
impactful
in
in
bold
investments
in
in
projects
in
our
community,
and
I'm
inclined
to
do
a
fewer
number
of
smaller
projects
rather
than
piecemeal
out
the
money,
a
dollar
at
a
time,
and
we
would
you
know,
kind
of
lose
track
of
of
where
it
goes
not
from
a
record-keeping
perspective,
but
from
a
historical
opportunity
perspective.
C
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
turn
around
in
10
years
and
point
to
something
and
say:
arpa
money
got
us
that
and
used
this
opportunity
to
make
an
investment
that
we
might
not
otherwise
be
able
to,
and
so
I
think
that
certainly
includes
a
strong
consideration
to
making
some
investments
in
our
carp
commitments.
C
So
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
good
work
of
our
friends
in
the
environmental
sustainability
and
the
environmental
justice
community
for
sharing
with
us
their
vision
of
a
five-year
plan
on
how
we
could
easily
spend
five
million
dollars
on
carp
and
environmental
justice,
and
I
think
whether
or
not
we
ultimately
take
arpa
money
to
spend
on
carp.
I
think
that
sets
a
good.
C
You
know
road
map
for
us
to
consider
moving
forward,
not
only
in
the
budget
process
for
2022
but
following
years
as
well,
and
that
brings
me
to
a
question
regarding
the
timeline
on
why?
When
do
we
have
to
spend
this
money
and
what
are
what
are
the
the
very
you
know
to
the
extent
that
we
need
to
know
in
order
to
make
some
decisions.
What
are
the
guidelines
on
when
we
need
to
spend
this
or
when
we
need
to
incur
those
costs?
C
So
that's
question,
for
I
can
see
the
manager
or
the
the
chief
financial.
N
C
So
let
me
just
repeat
back
to
make
sure
I
understood
if
it's
infrastructure
we
can
obligate
it
by
24,
but
we
own,
but
we
don't
have
to
spend
it
for
another
couple
years.
N
C
So,
if
we're
talking
five-year
plan
that
would
apply
for
a
capital
expense,
a
capital
project,
but
but
not
for
environmental
justice
or
social
services
or
economic
development.
N
O
C
Okay,
thank
you
and
just
one
final
comment
for
right
now.
I
do
think
the
we're
trending
in
the
right
direction,
with
how
these
buckets
are
are
being
allocated.
I
think
they're
closer
to
you,
know
the
feedback
that
I've
gotten
from
the
community.
C
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
when
it
comes
to
the
carp
funding
we
are.
We
are
somehow
internally
obligating
ourselves
to
that,
and
you
know
the
assistant
city
manager,
kendrick,
you're,
saying
it's
kind
of
hard
to
define
or
to
set
aside
a
bucket
that
says
car.
We.
D
Discovered
we
can
carpenter
of
itself
is
not
an
arpa
category.
It's
not
a
it's
not
going
to
be
something
that
the
government's
going
to
allow.
But
if
we
implement
carp
into
other
allowable
buckets
like
affordable
housing
or
clean
drinking
water
or
one
of
the
other
inclusive
or
equitable
recovery,
we
can
definitely
implement
carp
into
those
buckets.
So
there's.
C
Within
these
other
categories,
the
proposal
that
was
in
front
of
us
a
month
or
so
ago
to
put
a
million
into
carp.
What
what
happened
to
that
still
viable
or
is
that
is
that
morphed.
D
So
I
would
say
yes,
if
you
I
would
consider
the
million
dollars
it
was
stiff
previously
recommended
to
be
split
up
amongst
these
other
buckets,
however,
which
way
council
decides
to
spend
it,
but
I
think
this
this
categorization
better,
represents
one
a
better
definition
of
what
we
can
do,
but
two
a
safer
structure
for
everyone
to
follow
for
the
guidelines.
E
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
was
unfortunately
absent
at
the
last
meeting
where
this
was
the
the
brunt
of
the
discussion,
but
so
I'll,
just
echo
some
of
my
beliefs
and
agreement
with
some
of
the
folks
who
spoke
before
me
city
finances,
I
think,
is
important
economic
development.
E
Carp,
I
think,
is
extremely
important
and-
and
I
do
think
you
know
I-
I
appreciate
deputy
manager
gandurski's
summation
there,
but
I
do
think
we
could
create
a
bucket.
That
was
carp.
Obviously
we
we
can
create
our
own
buckets.
Obviously
the
expendit
expenditures
would
have
to
meet
the
arpa
guidelines,
but
if
we
want
to
set
money
aside
to
help
us
reach
our
own
climate
action
resiliency
goals,
I
certainly
think
it
makes
sense
to
set
aside
a
bucket
of
money.
That
is
specifically
for
that.
E
E
In
regards
to
our
lost
revenue,
it
tests
you,
you
did
say
that
it
that
we
have
until
2024
the
lost
revenue
to
allocate
okay
and
that's
the
only
clarity
of
one.
Thank
you.
D
Louis
lakin
is
here
and
she's
we're
going
to
be
pretty
soon
having
our
budget
presentations,
but
as
she's
whittling
down
those
numbers.
We
were
able
to
further
hone
in
on
because
because
this
is
going
to
follow
one's
going
to
follow
the
other
right.
So
with
the
budget
projections
coming
out,
we
have
a
better
idea
what
the
lost
revenue
is
going
to
be,
as
well
as
the
other
city
expenditures.
I
think
I
forgot
to
address
this
for
council
member
fleming.
D
What
we've
realized
is
how
short
staffed
we
are
and
understaffed
we've
been
and
what's
been
cut
throughout
the
years,
and
so
some
of
these
extra
spending
is
to
provide
city
services
at
a
level
that
the
city
of
evanston
expects
us
to
provide
services
and
to
do
that.
Part
of
that
is
spending.
Money
and
part
of
that
also
is
bringing
some
of
the
city's
current
infrastructure
that
we
use
up
to
speed
to
get
to
get
the
jobs
done
so
to
speak,
while
other
revenues
have
been
cut.
P
P
So
this
slide
references,
the
2.5
million
that
is
discussed
in
the
memo
regarding
sort
of
the
the
deficit
for
2022
that
we're,
starting
with
in
the
general
fund.
Much
more
detail
on
all
of
these
numbers
will
come
out
in
the
budget
document
as
we're
finalizing
that
this
week,
that'll
be
again
released
next
monday.
P
So
those
are
the
numbers
that
we're
talking
about
when
we
start
looking
at
what
what's
going
to
be
built
into
the
2022
budget
and
we'll
have
further
discussion
on
that
as
well.
D
And
I'll
just
add
a
a
portion
of
the
operational
request
that
we're
asking
for
may
also
be
revenue
raising.
So
that's
just
something
to
keep
in
mind.
K
I
just
had
a
question
for
kate,
so
when
you-
and
maybe
you
said
this
is
coming
later-
but
the
five
million
use
that
that
includes
bringing
back
or
filling
some
vacant
positions
that
we've
had.
I
know
we
had
a
ton.
Is
that
correct.
P
It
does
so
there's
a
there's.
A
filling
positions
is
in
a
couple
of
spots,
so,
first
of
all,
our
our
baseline
general
fund
of
that
we're
showing
in
the
115
million
dollar
range
that
includes
the
positions
that
last
year
were
held
vacant
specifically
for
one
year,
bringing
those
back
in
the
baseline,
so
that
number
of
positions
which
is
in
the
25
positions
number,
I
believe,
that's
all
included
sort
of
in
this.
P
K
Thing
so
if
we
put
these
positions
back,
which
I'm
not
giving
an
opinion
on,
how
do
we-
I
guess
in
your
memo
or
in
a
budget
memoir,
you
would
tell
us
how
we're
going
to
with
this
one-time
fund,
put
these
money
back
but
make
sure
this.
We
don't
leave
the
staff
off
in
two
years
if
we're
out
of
money
again.
So
that's
for
another
question
time,
but
that
is
a
question
I
have
for
when
we
get
to
that
part
of
the
budget.
Yep.
P
Q
Q
I
also
think
economic
development
is
a
key
component
as
well
and
for
everyone
that
has
spoken
the
last
three
four
months
about
holding
our
tax
line.
I
think
the
wonderful
thing
about
economic
development
represents
two
things
so,
first
of
all,
we
definitely
have
a
need
to
replace
the
businesses
that
have
been
lost,
particularly
in
our
downtown
area.
Q
We
all
focus
on
that
term
roi
and
return
on
our
investments,
so
I
think
we
target
those
businesses
that
we
know
are
going
to
have
an
immediate
impact
to
either
stabilizing
our
tax
base
or
replacing
income
that
we've
lost
through
our
retail
tax
base.
The
other
thing
that
I
really
firmly
completely
believe
in
is
through
economic
development
that
we're
also
focusing
on
job
creation.
Q
Q
Over
the
years,
we
create
that
and
we
go
out
to
bond
based
on
projects
that
we
know
that
we
have
to
do,
and
I
know
that
we've
through
kelly
and
our
staff,
our
former
city
manager,
we've
identified
infrastructure
as
a
basic
need,
and
I
think
that
that's
something
that
we
also
need
to
be
very
close
attention
to.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
when
we
go
through
that
budget
process,
that
those
projects
that
we're
funding
through
the
arpa
funds,
that
people
see
it
and
understand
it
to
the
best
of
your
ability
to
instruct.
A
Thank
you.
The
next
speakers
will
be
council
members
revel
followed
by
burns
and
then
when
and
just
wanted
to
flag
that
I'm
tracking
everybody
so
there's
several
other
people
who
have
already
spoken
have
asked
to
speak
again,
we'll
be
called
on
to
speak
again,
but
I'm
going
to
go
through
everyone
for
a
first
time.
First,
so
again,
revel
followed
by
burns
followed
by
win.
R
R
How
how
carp
is
now
being
shown
as
being
part
of
affordable
housing
and
water
and
sewer
infrastructure
and
inclusive
and
equitable
recovery,
but
I
have
to
say
in
the
previous
iteration,
where
carp
was,
you
know,
highlighted
on
its
own
with
a
million
dollar
line
item.
That
was
reassuring
to
me,
because
it
did
say
up
front
that
we
were
definitely
going
to
be
spending
that
money
on
carp
implementation
in
my
mind.
R
S
Sarah
flax,
housing
rents
manager,
it's
complicated,
they
don't
make
it
simple
by
giving
us
the
categories
we
want.
I
think
there
is
justification
in
some
cases
for
staff
to
be
able
to
implement
programs.
There.
O
J
S
If
you
expect
the
entire
cost
to
be
picked
up
by
carp,
I
mean
by
arpa
alone
it's
clear
that
we
can
have
staff
to
implement
the
different
programs
and
services
and
projects
that
are
funded
by
arpa,
but
I
think
that
we
would
get
looked
at
kind
of
like
what
the
heck
is
carp.
If
we
put
in
the
carp
administrator
or
something
so
I
think
it's
how
you
frame
it.
S
Much
of
this
is
how
all
of
this
is.
You
know
they
say
you
can
anything
that
you
can
argue
is
improving
public
health,
for
example,
affordable
housing
by
improving
quality
of
housing,
which,
for
a
lower
income
residents,
has
created
health
inequities
is
a
great
example
of
something
that
I
really
think
we
should
be
looking
at
doing,
but
it
doesn't
get
labeled
as
carp,
I
mean
just
try
to
give
examples.
Yeah
does
that
help.
R
But
I
I
do
think
the
more
we
think
about
trying
to
make
real
serious
progress
on
carp
and
and
our
really
ambitious
goals
having
an
actual
game
plan
implementation
game
plan
in
general
would
be
really
really
wonderful
to
have.
But
I
do
appreciate
that
sure
I
mean
you
know:
rehab
funding
to
do
energy
efficiency,
rehabs
for
affordable
housing
could
be
really
really
important
and
green
infrastructure
projects
for
under
our
water
and
sewer
infrastructure
and
a
number
of
things
under
inclusive
and
equitable
recovery.
R
I
mean
because
I
see
that's
a
really
important
place
to
get
some
make
some
headway
with
environmental
justice.
I
think
we
could
even
do
you
know
we
could
do
carp
under
economic
development,
because
some
of
our
businesses
could
certainly
do
with
energy
efficiency
upgrades
to
their
buildings
to
reduce
their
utility
costs
or
well.
In
our
you
know,
our
daycare
facilities.
R
S
R
As
well,
which
I
think
is
critical
and
then
just
not
not
to
neglect
any
one
of
our
buckets
here-
that
they
could
really
all
relate
to
carp
at
some
point
in
our
revenue
loss
funding
when
we've
got
all
this
money,
we're
talking
about
for
equipment
replacement,
put
in
a
plug
for
making
sure
we
really
look
hard
at
getting
electric
vehicles
and
we
need
electric
landscape
maintenance
equipment
in
order
to
to
keep
up
with
the
changes
we're
going
to
be
making
in
our
leaf
blower
policy.
R
So
there's
if
we
just
have
a
big
car
mantra
everywhere,
we
like
that
would
be
very
helpful.
Thanks.
A
T
Yeah,
so
so
one
participatory
budgeting
feels
like
something
that
we
should
be
able
to
take
some
action
on
now.
I
think
I
remember
an
email
and
I
volunteered
to
to
do
something
a
while
ago.
I
think
it
was
to
work
through
developing
pv
in
some
way.
So
what
was
that?
I'm
sorry?
I
don't
know
what
I
signed
up
for,
but
I
know
I
volunteered
to
move
that
forward.
A
Great
point
council
member-
I
was
this-
has
been
a
awkward
point
that
I
haven't
mentioned
because
I
sent
an
email
to
all
of
council.
Saying:
hey,
looks
like
we're
heading
in
the
direction
of
doing
this
participatory
budgeting
thing
we're
going
to
figure
out
a
mechanism
to
to
do
it.
Who
wants
to
be
part
of
a
some
kind
of
working
group
or
subcommittee
to
to
do
that,
and
then
only
one
person
signed
up.
A
So
he
didn't
know
what
to
do
with
the
subcommittee
of
one
council
member,
but
but
but
that's
what
you
signed
up
for
and
I
appreciate
it
and
I
can
maybe
send
up
a
follow
follow-up
email
and
we've
had
we've
had
outreach
from
from
from
folks
who
are
interested
in
partnering
with
us
in
this
who
have
really
exciting
ideas
interested
in
doing
it
pro
bono
as
well,
and
so
I
just
think,
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
to
dig
into,
and
you
know
this
would
be
the
biggest
waste
of
money
in
the
world
if
we
do
it
poorly.
T
Councilmember
reed
is
volunteers,
so
there's
two
of
us
coming
out
of
this
meeting,
california,
three
so
there
we
go
and
just
so
the
community
understands
again
pb
is,
is
something
that
the
community.
It's
a
process
that
the
community
would
drive
that
the
community
is
actually
the
ones
through
a
general
assembly
who
are
coming
up
with
proposals
to
fund,
and
so
that's
a
process.
We
wouldn't
have
much
involvement
in,
and
so
I
think
it's
something
that
we
can
take
action
on.
T
While
we,
you
know,
take
our
time
and
think
through
every
all
the
other
funding
allocations.
That's
something
that,
in
my
opinion,
we
can
really
drive
for
right
now
and
and
it'll
be
a
useful
process
just
to
hear
from
the
community
see
what
projects
get
funded.
That
can
also
help
guide
some
of
our
decisions,
all
right
next
up.
T
I
also
have
the
question:
can
we
hire
additional
staff
for
our
sustainability
office,
so
that
was
answered,
so
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
Councilman,
rafael.
I
also
think
something
that
we
need
to
figure
out
is
like
how
much
staff
do
we
need
new
positions?
Do
we
need
to
create
with
arbor
funds
like
that's
really
important,
because
what
I'm
looking
for
is
projects
to
fund
right
like
it's?
T
It's
it's
helpful
to
play
around
with
the
numbers
in
this
way
and
say:
okay,
we're
going
to
put
you
know
one
meeting
we're
putting
five
in
a
economic
development
in
the
next
meeting,
we're
putting
seven
I
mean-
that's
that's
great,
but
ultimately
like
we
have
to
identify
projects
to
fund
and
for
my
colleagues
up
here
who
received
the
email
from
some
of
our
environmental
advocates
around
carpenter
implementation.
To
me,
that
was
a
really
good
example
of
a
project
that
we
can
fund
where
they've
budgeted
out
what
they
believe.
T
T
And
to
me,
that's
the
first
thing
so
far
that
I've
seen
that's
like
really
clear,
like
it
has
a
plan
behind
it.
It
has
kind
of
a
proposed
budget
over
the
next
five
years
they
laid
out
exactly
you
know
the
staff
and
everything
that
we
need
will
need
to
go
into
it,
and
I
think
that's
the
level
of
detail
that
we
need
for
all
these
categories
again.
We've
been.
This
is
now
the
maybe
the
third
or
fourth
meeting
where
we're
like
yeah
economic
development
is
a
great
thing
to
do.
T
Of
course,
it's
a
great
thing
to
do,
but
what's
the
project
we're
gonna
fund,
for
example,
and
I'll
be
the
first
to
start
offering
some
ideas
but-
and
I
know
others
have
as
well-
I
want
to
take
away
from
that,
but
we
got
to
start
like
let's
put
stuff
on
the
table,
so
our
lead
pipe
replacement
pro
workforce
development
treatment.
You've
heard
me
talk
about
it.
Every
meeting
director
stoneback
is,
is
working
on
a
plan
that
would
allow
the
city
to
to
be
the
one
training.
T
Our
lead,
the
at
least
in
part,
would
be
training
our
workforce
to
go
out
and
and
replace
our
lead
pipes
as
opposed
to
contracting
it
out
and
sending
everything
through
through
a
union
that
trains-
and
I
want
to
be
careful
there,
because
even
the
way
that
I'm
proposing
we
do
it,
there
still
would
be
a
union.
It's
ask
me:
they
currently
represent
our
our
workers
in
the
water
department.
T
But
again
this
would
allow
give
us
the
opportunity
to
really
control
how
many
city
of
evanston
workers
are
are,
are
trained
and
that
are
able
to
get
some
of
this
work.
So
again,
that's
something
that
if
we
can
play
that
all
out
we'll
know
exactly
what
the
costs
are
again.
Director
stoneback
is
coming
back
with
those
details,
and
then
we
can
figure
out
how
it
fits
in
in
in
in
in
the
funding.
T
But
I
think
we
need
to
get
to
the
point
where
we're
determining
projects
and
if
we
don't
have
the
staff
currently
to
help
us
determine
what
those
projects
are.
Then
one
of
the
first
steps
is
to
figure
out
like
what
additional
staff
do
we
want
to
bring
on,
because
that's
what
I
would
like
to
see
personally-
and
I
don't
know
if
by
hiring
the
20
or
so
additional
staff
that
we
held
over,
would
would
do
it
well,
we'll
staff
will
say
yes,
I
think
we
have
what
it
takes
to
do.
T
All
these
plans
develop
all
these
projects
in-house,
but
I
would
really
like
to
know
that
and
then
I
know,
I'm
probably
over
five,
but
just
a
quick.
T
I
also
wanted
sarah
to
provide
to
provide
just
a
quick
definition
of
the
or
where
the
qct
areas
are
the
last
time
this
came
before
us.
It
was
at
6
million
that
was
4
million.
Again,
as
far
as
I
understand,
we
have
one
qct
census
tract
in
evanston.
I
could
be
wrong,
but
that
was
my
understanding.
It's
8092,
it's
in
the
fifth
ward
folks
have
said,
and
especially
with
the
conversation
with
tiff,
but
funding
in
general
is
like.
Oh,
why
don't
y'all
go
after
arbor
money
instead
of
tiff?
T
Well
again,
just
now,
there's
a
qct
area
in
the
fifth
ward
and
we've
gone
from
six
million.
Now
that
could
be
allocated
to
this
particular
census
tract
in
the
fifth
ward.
Now,
the
four.
So
could
you
provide
just
a
quick
idea
of
what
qct
is
how
many
qct
area
qct
areas
we
have
and
then
the
final
question
is:
how
much
are
we
going
to
set
aside
out
of
this
4
million
specifically
for
projects
in
a092?
S
I
can
certainly
tell
you
where
the
qcts
are.
I
don't
think
I
can
say
exactly
how
much
will
be
set
aside.
Well,
the
recommendation,
I'm
just
joking
1892,
there's
a
map
in
your
packet.
S
Ashland
now
ashland
or
so,
and
then
it
goes
up
to
emerson,
so
that
is
the
census
tract.
That
was
one
of
our
nsp2
census,
tracts
technically
census
tract
8093,
which
is
that
chunk.
That's
east
of
the
green
bay
road
is
also
considered
a
qualified
census
tract
that
shows
up
as
a
qualified
census
tract,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
students
who
count
as
low
income.
S
I
don't
really
think
it
addresses
our
goals
of
investing
in
that
area.
The
only
time
we
take
advantage
of
that
is
when,
if
we
have
something
like
a
housing
development
in
there,
that
can
qualify
for
low-income
housing,
tax
credits
better
because
it's
a
qct,
but
I
don't
think
that's
an
area
where
we
want
to
sink
a
lot
of
money
into.
S
I
would
like
to
look
at
whether
or
not
we
can
qualify
part
of
census
tract
8092,
which
is
the
other
nsp2
census
tract,
which
is
the
very
south
part
of
evanston
the
southeast
section.
There
are
four
census
block
groups
that
are
west
of
the
train,
tracks
south
of
oakton
and
run
over
to
ridge
avenue,
and
that
is
another
one
of
our
economically
underserved
areas
and
and
much
lower
income.
The
entire
census
tract
doesn't
qualify
because
the
other
two
block
groups
are
much
more
affluent.
S
The
guidance
says
you
can
define
other
areas
as
long
as
you
can
make
a
case
for
that.
So
that
is
something
I
would
like
to
see
if
we
can
do,
because
that
is
an
area
where
we
have
a
lot
of
very
low
income
people
settled,
we
had
a
lot
of
our
immigrants
that
were
resettled
and
and
people
really
are
different
cultures,
and
all
sorts
of
people
have
great,
really
high
need
down
in
that
area
that
I
really
want
to
see.
S
If
we
can
qualify
it
now,
treasury
hasn't
told
us
what
we
do
to
qualify,
something
so
we'll
have
to
see.
If
we
can
write
it
up
and
say
hey,
will
you
approve
this?
There's
no
real
guidance
on
how
detailed
you
have
to
get
in
that
process.
S
So
those
two
areas
are
the
areas
that
I
see
as
our
focus
for
our
geographic
focus,
because
those
two
areas
have
been
economically
lagging
the
rest
of
the
city
for
really
quite
a
while,
and
you
know
the
80
92
almost
completely
matches
up
with
the
redlined
area
too.
So
it's
just.
You
can
see
the
long-term
impact
of
that
sort
of
thing.
T
I
just
would
like
a
recommendation
as
to
how
how
many
funds
is
staff
recommending
that
we
use
in
those
two
qct
areas,
because
what
I
don't
want
to
happen
is
it
feels
like
we're
getting
the
funding
because
of
these
areas
to
disperse
and
use
elsewhere
like
I
really
want
the
focus
to
be
in
these
areas.
If
that
was
the
original
intent
of
this
particular
allowance,
you
know
from
the.
S
Guidelines-
one
of
the
things
I
think
is
really
we
have
to
look
at
our
what
capital
projects
we
would
do
in
there.
I
think
it's
really
difficult
to
just
pick
a
number.
I
think
we
have
to
get
a
little
more
down
to
what
the
projects
are.
There
are
some
things
I
think
we
might
want
to
consider.
We
have
buildings
like
the
family
focus
building
in
that
census
tract.
That
needs
a
whole
lot
of
work
and
could
be
a
social
services
hub
or
something
like
that.
I
mean
we
haven't.
S
We
heard
at
our
town
hall
meetings,
we
had
people
stand
up
and
speak.
Please
invest
in
that.
That
could
be
a
another
way
of
investing
in
the
community.
I
see
huge
opportunities
for
affordable
housing
in
both
of
those
areas,
but
I
also
hope
that
we
don't
have
to
use
only
arpa,
I'm
hoping
we
can
layer
in
a
lot
of
other
funding.
S
We
don't
know
exactly
what
will
come
out
of
the
one
trillion
dollar
infrastructure
plan
or
the
3.5
trillion
dollar
build
back
better
plan.
I
don't
think
they'll
go
through
exactly
those
levels,
but
I
certainly
hope
they
do
go
through.
I
want
to
give
you
an
example:
now
in
arpa
they
issued
5
billion
dollars
through
the
home
program
and
of
that
5
billion.
We
are
getting
1.28
million
roughly
right.
Usually
our
home
allocation
is
about
350
000
a
year.
S
S
Oh,
do
exactly
this
at
this
point
and
one
of
the
things
that's
in
arpa
is
it
says,
don't
the
one
of
the
reasons
they
are
issuing
money
in
two
tranches
as
they
call
it
is
we
don't
know
everything
we
have
to
do
and
we
have
to
be
able
to
respond
to
changes
both
in
the
pandemic
and
also
in
funding
opportunities.
So
I
think
we
really
have
to.
S
We
want
to
sort
of
make
buckets,
but
I
think
we
have
to
be
open
to
being
flexible
about
them
and
not
lock
ourselves
into
them,
because
I
think
we
could
really
really
benefit
from
looking
at
all
this
kind
of
money.
There's
also
tons
of
money
in
for
lead
service
line
replacement,
that's
one
of
the
goals
of
one
of
the
other
bills.
So
how
do
you
commit
money
right
now
and
then
you
might
find
out
that?
Oh
boy
guess
what
there's
a
whole
nother.
You
know
that's
another.
T
T
D
And
that's
why
this
is
as
clear
as
mud
in
some
ways,
but
that's
why
we
need
a
jumping
off
point
because
and-
and
I
guess
council
can
look
at
it
this
way.
This
is
in
part,
you
know
the
start.
The
mission
could
the
mission
change
in
a
couple
of
months.
If
we
find
out
we're
getting
part
of
that
one
trillion
dollar
infrastructure
bill,
then
yeah.
We
won't
need
to
use.
You
know
any
of
this
money
for
water
and
sewer
replacement
because
we'll
have
it
in
the
infrastructure
bill.
D
We
can
reallocate
this
money
somewhere
else,
but
to
me
from
a
management
perspective,
and
this
is
just
what
what
I
need
in
my
staff
needs
is,
is
something
allocated,
so
we
can
keep
track
of
the
tabs
and
and
you
as
the
council
will
hold
us
accountable
to
say:
okay,
yes,
you're,
bringing
forth
a
resolution
or
you're
bringing
forth
a
project,
but
that's
not
in
the
census
block
that
I
think
it
should
go
into.
D
D
In
some
ways
everyone
wants
to
know.
Well,
you
know
what
do
we
need
to
spend?
We
can
give
estimates,
but
if
we
get
other
funding
from
other
sources,
you
know
we
want
to.
We
want
to
be
open
and
honest
with
the
community
and
say
you
know
we're
using
this
money
as
responsibly
as
possible,
because
it's
a
one-time
thing.
T
A
A
Councilmember,
when
can
you
hear
me
or
sorry.
A
U
Okay,
thank
you.
This
has
been
a
really
valuable
discussion.
I'm
very
glad
I'm
joining
it,
and
I
agree
with
many
of
the
points
that
my
fellow
council
members
have
made,
particularly
news:
mob,
raise
weight
on
revenue,
loss
issues
and
some
of
the
really
important
points
that
councilman
burns
is
just
making
about
projects.
U
I
when
I
look
at
this,
I
I
am
looking
at
this
arpa
money
sort
of
operating
in
two
parallel
tracks.
I
think
the
first
part
is
that
we
must
address
the
revenue
loss
from
last
year.
U
You
know
we
waited
and
waited
and
hoped
as
each
of
the
carers
iterations
of
the
cares
act
were
passed
by
congress,
but
what
what
happened
was
cities
about?
500
000
were
given
aid
and
there
was
a
bill
for
cities
below
500
000
that
we
were
hanging
our
hopes
on
every
city
in
the
united
states
below
500
000
we're
having
our
hopes
on
that
never
pass,
and
so,
as
a
result,
our
budget
process
last
year
was
very
painful
and
very
difficult
and
we
had
to
make
a
number
of
serious
cuts,
and
so
now
we
now.
U
Finally,
that
bill
was
passed
that
helped
cities
below
500
000,
and
it's
really
important
that
we
build
that
hole
that,
unfortunately,
was
created
by
covid
and
and
may
still
be
being
created
by
kobit,
because,
as
I
said,
I've
said
before
when
people
start
talking
about
during
the
pandemic,
you
know
I
I
think
we're
we're
not
done
with
the
pandemic,
as
we
all
know.
So
I
I
so
one
track.
I
see
is
really
critically
addressing
our
revenue
loss
and
the
federal
government
sent
that
this
money.
U
Finally
to
us
to
to
help
with
that,
and
then
the
other
track
is
looking
at
all
of
these
buckets,
which
I
I
appreciate,
and
I
understand
how
they're
divided
up,
but
as
the
staff
has
said,
and
a
number
of
us
have
sort
of
talked
about
you
know,
a
dollar
spent
on
economic
development
is
can
also
be
seen
as
a
dollar
spent
for
carp,
which
is
also
if
it's
workforce
development
is
also
a
dollar
for
social
services
and
if
it's
spent
in
for
workforce
development
and
that
census
tract
there's
another.
U
U
You
know
some
dollars
will
be
simply
might
only
fit
in
one
bucket,
but
I
think
most
of
these
dollars
will
fit
in
multiple
buckets
and
when
I'm
analyzing
this
I'm
trying
to
understand
which
of
these
checks
the
most
boxes
for
us
in
that
mental
matrix,
that
I
have
that
addresses
as
many
different
needs
that
we
have
with
each
dollar
so
that
each
dollar
has
a
greater
impact.
U
So
when
you
know
when
I
every
time
I
read
the
materials
from
the
staff-
and
I
appreciate
them
more
and
more-
I
annotate
them
by
saying
give
me
an
example
where
it's
an
example.
What
how
much
does
this
project
cost?
What
could
we
do
for
this?
So
I
think
that's
addre
sort
of
goes
to
the
point
that
councilmember
burns
was
making
of.
We
need
more
detail
to
understand
how
to
weigh
which
direction
we're
going.
U
U
I
also
strongly
support
the
that
we,
the
that
we
saw
the
carp
issues
that
we've
been
discussing,
that
we
layer
or
lace
carp
into
everything
to
the
greatest
extent
possible
and
make
sure
that
I
mean
that
is
an
investment
in
our
future
that
we
need
to
do
so.
With
those
comments
mayor,
I
want
to
compliment
the
staff
on
this
memo.
It's
very
helpful
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
more
detail
and
more
detail.
A
Thank
you.
That
concludes
the
first
round
for
everybody.
M
First,
I
feel
like
we
should
obviously
in
an
organized
way
for
the
public,
so
maybe
commit
to
a
certain
number
of
meetings
right
now,
even
though
that
might
morph
you
know
as
we
go
on,
but
I
think
it
would
be
good
this
evening,
if
we
committed
say
to
a
series
of
three
of
these
meetings,
just
as
sort
of
a
pointing
a
starting
point.
M
I
think
that's
important
so
that
we
can
also
as
we're
as
we're
going
forward.
You
know
narrow
it
down
and
and
have
goals
for
maybe
a
third
or
final
meeting
where
we
would
narrow
in
on
particular
programs
and
as
such
then
kate.
I
just
had
a
question
on
the
additional
operational
requests:
the
five
million
under
revenue
loss
funding
category
uses,
so
that
does
not
actually
reflect
revenue
loss.
Is
that
correct?
The
5
million.
P
Anything
that
we
propose
under
the
revenue
loss
sort
of
funding
category
would
have
to
fall
under
the
amount
that
we
can
claim
and
show
it
was
revenue
lost
by
the
city.
So
I
made
a
note
that
we
should,
you
know,
provide
a
memo
with
those
numbers
more
specifically
at
the
next
version
of
this
discussion,
but
this
this
full
13
million
that
we're
showing
tonight.
We
know
that
we
can
claim
as
revenue
loss
to
the
federal
government.
So
that's
that's
a
portion
of
the
number
and
it
could
be
higher
as
well.
M
Okay,
great
thank
you
and
then
I
also
feel
like
our
the
amount
that
we're
that
is
suggested
to
be
allocated
for
social
services
feels
to
me
exceedingly
low,
giving
the
devastating
impact
of
the
pandemic
and
our
city,
the
demographics,
the
economics
of
our
city,
low-income
population
and
I'd
like
to
see
that,
along
with
the
hazard
pay,
I
feel
that
those
numbers
should
both
be
increased
and
I'm
not
sure
exactly
where
at
this
point,
where
how
that
would
be
shifted
around,
but
I
do
think
it's
important
that
those
numbers
be
be
greater
in
order
to
really
serve
our
residents
as
we
recover
from
the
devastation
of
the
pandemic.
A
Thank
you,
council
member
revell,
followed
by
fleming,
followed
by
nusma.
R
D
D
We're
planning
that
these
again
to
me,
this
is
like
the
the
beginning
of
the
series
of
conversations
we've
as
mayor
best
expressed,
there's
been
several
members
of
the
community
that
have
come
forth
to
ask
about
participatory
budgeting
and
offer
services
and
engagements
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
more
engagement
opportunity,
and
you
know,
with
the
round
tables
that
have
existed
already
in
the
town
halls.
I
know
several
members
of
the
council
have
participated
in
those
and
continue
to
talk
in
their
ward
meetings
with
our
partners
and
local
interest
groups.
D
R
Right,
but
I
think
the
the
message
from
saul
anderson
was
that
that
the
community
is
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
have
these
opportunities
for
input
and
engagement,
and
then-
and
so
you
know,
we-
we
know-
we've
we've
received
the
draft
report
of
the
of
the
bulk
of
the
round
tables
and
that
were
held,
but
there
the
community
is
looking
for
additional
opportunities
beyond
you
know,
going
forward.
A
Yeah,
if
I
could
react,
does
that
if
I
could
react
to
that,
so
my
mind
goes
two
different
places
here.
First
of
all,
you
know,
I
think
we
are
kind
of
sorry.
I
draw
a
tree
like
a
mathematician
from
the
from
the
from
the
roots
down,
which
is
a
weird
thing
we
do
anyway.
A
A
Compare
that
to
you
know
how
to
actually
allocate
the
the
social
services
category,
for
instance,
that'll
be
at
least
as
difficult,
and
so
I
think
that
the
engagement
process
that
was
kind
of
overseen
by
the
community
foundation
and
the
report
that
you
know,
I
think
the
final
report
will
be
forthcoming
in
a
matter
of
days-
is
really
useful
to
help
us
think
through
kind
of
the
high
level
allocation.
A
I
think
continued
engagement,
as
we
kind
of
walk
down
that
path
and
find
ourselves
making
more
and
more
granular
concrete
decisions
will
be,
will
be
very,
very
valuable.
That's
the
first
category.
The
second
thing
is
as
valuable
as
all
these
different
things.
I
think
it's
important
to
to
differentiate
between
them.
A
A
Participatory
budgeting
is
really
supposed
to
be
representative
right,
they're,
not
making
recommendations,
they're,
not
stakeholders,
they're,
making
decisions
with
binding
votes,
and,
as
such,
you
really
want
to
have
a
carefully
curated
process
in
place.
That
has
the
people
in
the
room
making
those
binding
decisions
be
as
representative
as
possible,
and
so
those
are
two
different
really
valuable
things
to
do,
but
I
just
want
to
be
clear
about
the
fact
that
they
are
different
both
in
terms
of
how
you
do
them.
What
makes
them
easier
difficult
what
the
outcome
and
value
will
be.
K
Customer
burns
reminded
me
that
I
did
have
a
project
I
wanted
to
suggest.
If
we're
you
know
getting
to
that
point.
So
I
know
we
always
talk
about
affordable
housing.
We
talk
about.
You
know
all
the
ways
in
which
we
have
a
hard
time
as
a
city
making
it,
but
several
years
ago,
council,
member
rainey,
who
used
to
be
here,
we
were
talking
about
affordable
housing
and
she
had
a
great
suggestion
that
I
don't
remember
all
the
details
too,
but
essentially
it
was
the
city
of
evanston
housing,
voucher.
K
K
K
I
think
it
would
be
a
great
idea
when
I
do
talk
to
landlords,
particularly
ones
who
are
even
willing
to
offer
affordable
housing
they
all
not
all,
but
a
lot
of
them
get
stuck
on
the
process
in
which
they
have
to
go
through
to
participate
in
the
section,
8
voucher
program,
and
then
even
residents
just
about
trying
to
get
the
sanctuary
factor,
which
I
think
now
is
like
a
four
or
five
year,
wait
to
get
a
voucher.
So
if
we
as
a
city,
really
want
to
help
with
some
affordable
housing.
K
I
think
this
is
an
easy
way
to
use,
not
all
the
four
million
dollars,
but
we
could
use
a
million
dollars,
make
a
huge
impact.
People,
landlords
and
tenants
can
come
here
to
the
city
of
evanston.
Get
registered.
Lenders
would
have
a
little
more
faith
in
the
program
because
they
could
get
paid
by
the
city.
K
Our
health
department
or
property
standards
could
go
out
and
make
sure
the
units
are
in
good
shape
and
we
can
get
to
people
in
some
affordable
housing,
stable
housing
here
in
our
community,
and
that
would
be,
I
think,
a
very
tangible
way
for
people
to
see
us
trying
to
make
a
huge
are
not
a
huge
but
a
big
effort
in
affordable
housing,
which
we've
talked
about
forever,
and
I
appreciate
that
people
talk
a
lot
about.
You
know:
workforce
development
and
people
being
homeowners
and
all
that,
but
the
the
matter.
K
You
know
it's
not
the
matter
of
fact,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
we're
not
going
to
get
all
the
affordable
housing.
We
need
through
workforce
development
and
home
buyer
programs,
because
everyone's
not
going
to
qualify
for
a
bank
mortgage
and
as
ottoman
braidway
mentioned
the
price.
The
housing
here
is
probably
just
going
to
keep
going
up.
So
we
need
to
look
at
how
we
keep
renters
here
and
understand
that
renters
are
a
viable
part
of
our
community.
K
Everybody
just
doesn't
have
to
own,
so
I
would
like
to
throw
that
out
there
something
that
we
can
research.
I'm
happy
to
call
otterman
rainey
and
get
her
proposal,
which
was
pretty
thorough
at
the
time
to
see
if
we
move
forward
a
project
like
that,
that's
tangible
and
can
be
implemented
pretty
soon.
A
Thank
you,
councilman.
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
picking,
up
on
what
several
of
my
colleagues
have
said
about
the
social
services
bucket,
not
being
as
big
as
they
would
like
to
see
it.
I
would
like
to
share
the
observation
that,
in
our
staff's
original
proposal
to
us,
the
social
services
bucket
constituted
about
seven
percent
of
of
the
total
and
the
proposal
in
front
of
us
now
that
four
thousand
for
social
services
is
up
to
nine
percent,
but
let's
also
consider
that
the
affordable
housing
bucket
an
additional
nine
percent
was
not
part
of
the
original
proposal.
C
So
if
we're
thinking
holistically
about
social
services
and
including
affordable
housing
in
that
kind
of
conceptual
category,
we
have
more
than
doubled
what
the
original
staff
proposal
was.
So
I
think
we're
definitely
heading
in
the
right
direction
there.
I
also
want
to
talk
about
economic
development
and
that
bucket
has
increased
from
the
original
proposal
and
picking
up
on
a
council
member
braithwaite's
observation
that
we
can't
just
hand
out
fish,
but
we
need
to
teach
people
to
fish.
C
I
think
I'm
going
to
take
that
one
step
four
one
step
further
and
say:
not
only
do
we
need
to
teach
people
to
fish,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
there
is
a
well-stocked
pond,
because
we
can
do
the
greatest
job
of
teaching
people
job
skills,
but
if
there
are
no
jobs
available
when
they
finish
the
program,
we
are
not
solving
the
problem.
So
I
look
at
economic
development
as
a
way
to
finish
that
process
and
make
sure
that
there
is
a
thriving
economy.
C
A
thriving
local
economy
that
is,
is
there
to
employ
evanston
residents
and
generate
wealth
that
stays
in
our
community.
C
So
you
know
I
am
in
favor
of
of
spending
a
significant
amount
of
amount
of
money
on
economic
development
just
in
general
and
to
reiterate
what
I
said
earlier,
you
know
I'm
in
favor
of
a
fewer
number
of
big
of
big
investments
rather
than
piecemealing
that
money
out.
I
also
want
to
pick
up
on
something
that
councilmember
reed
observed
and
councilmember
revell
acknowledged
as
well
like.
C
We
could
define
carp
as
a
separate
entity
that
we're
putting
money
in
as
long
as
we
spend
that
money
in
a
way
that's
appropriate
under
arpa,
and
I
would
feel
better
if,
if
we
did
explicitly
call
out
a
dollar
amount
for
carp
that
we
are
taking
that
seriously
rather
than
risk,
you
know
kind
of
losing
track
of
it
in
a
category
in
in
any
number
of
other
categories
where
it
could
and
you
know,
should
fit.
C
In
you
know
I
would
like
carp
to
permeate
our
thinking
at
every
level
of
decision
making
in
the
city
of
evanston,
but
I
I
would
feel
more
comfortable
if
we
had
an
explicit
amount
of
money
that
designated
for
curb.
E
Just
to
again
to
to
since
we're
using
the
fishing
and
pond
analogy
to
really
hammer
in
on
this
and
where
my
viewpoint
is,
is
sure
we
could
go
out
and
buy
a
few
big
fish
and
throw
them
in
a
pond
and
say
that
we've
we've
done
something.
But
I
think
if
we
create
the
conditions
that
attract
fish
to
that
pond
in
the
first
place
that
that's
what
we
need
to
do,
and
so
I,
I
think
again
huge
projects
like
two
million
dollars,
I'll
just
say
it.
E
Two
million
dollars
to
north
light
to
me
does
not
make
sense,
that's
buying
a
big
fish
and
a
fish
that's
already
coming
and
just
helping
accelerate
it.
But
I
think
if
we
really
make
smart
investments,
as
I
said
at
our
one
of
our
last
meetings,
this
is
we're
spending
a
lot
of
time
and
good
on
it
for
the
43
million
dollars
that
we're
getting
from
the
federal
government.
E
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
anybody
else.
T
I
just
wanna
second,
what
councilmember
kelly
said
about
scheduling
two
or
three
meetings
quickly.
You
know:
we've
had
a
good
discussion
tonight
and
probably
still
haven't
expressed
the
surface
in
this
discussion,
which
makes
sense
it's
just
it's
the
nature
of
these
type
of
discussions,
but
yeah,
I
think,
figuring
out.
D
If
I
could
just
respond,
it
depends.
The
answer
to
that
question
depends
depends
upon
what
the
council
wants
to
do
with
the
money,
which
is
why
we
need
the
jumping
off
point.
So,
for
instance,
we
heard
a
recurring
theme
in
the
economic
development
committee
and
even
outside
of
that
was
workforce
development.
We
have
to
concentrate
on
workforce
development.
D
I
have
a
staff
member,
I
can
dedicate
to
workforce
development,
it's
not
currently
their
full-time
job,
but
it's
something
that
they
they
do
in
part,
but
that
would
be
one
person
at
half
their
time
dedicated
to
a
huge
enterprise,
and
it
depends
on
how
much
again
council
wants
to
invest
in
that.
So
are
we
investing?
D
You
know
a
million
dollars.
Are
we
investing
just
staff
time?
Are
we
investing?
Are
we
partnering
with
other
organizations
that
we
could
utilize
work?
I
look
at
workforce
development
holistically
across
the
city
as
a
whole
across
every
department.
We
should
be
looking
at
it.
We
should
be
looking
at
it
with
every
partner
agency
that
we
have.
We
should
be
looking
at
every
opportunity
that
we
have
to
develop
our
workforce.
D
Then
I
turn
to
what
council
member
new
smith
says
and
says:
well,
we
gotta
have
enough
fish
in
the
pond
for
people
to
fish
with,
and
so,
if
we
don't
have
enough
businesses
on
our
tax
roll,
then
we
don't
have
enough
income
coming
in.
We
don't
have
people
to
go
out
to
that
workforce.
So
it's
it's
we're
here
tonight
in
my
mind,
because
we
have
to
start
somewhere,
and
maybe
this
isn't
perfect.
D
D
There's
going
to
be
a
stack
of
memos
for
this
council
to
review
about
why
we
need
more
staff
and
there's
going
to
be
data
behind
that
and
it'll
be
up
to
this
council
to
say:
well
we're
not
going
to
fund
that
because
that's
going
to
cost
too
much
and
we'll
have
to
raise
taxes
in
the
following
year
or
you
know
we
will.
We
will
fund
that
because
we
think,
ultimately
that
could
bring
in
more
revenue
or
bring
in
more
social
services
to
the
city.
T
And
just
to
be
clear,
too,
I
think
this
is
fine.
In
fact,
I
think
we
can
stop
here
and
then
work
on
the
projects
and
then
revisit
as
needed.
So
I
want
to
be
clear.
No,
I
think
you
all
have
done
a
wonderful
job,
paul
zama's.
T
Two
minutes
two
meetings
ago:
this
was
probably
fine
because
again
we
can
always
tinker
and
make
adjustments.
But
let's
move
to
the
next
phase
of
working
on
these
these
projects
and
then
I
had
I
wanted
to
it'll
come
back
to
me.
I'm
sorry.
Q
I
am
also
ready
to
move
on
and
I
just
want
to
clarify
something
just
in
case
you
know,
I
wasn't
clear
what
I
meant
by
the
fish
analogy:
there's
just
a
real,
clear
message
of
giving
a
person
a
fish
versus
teaching
this
person
to
fish,
so
just
to
clarify
on
our
spending
on
our
focus.
Whenever
it
comes
to
social
services,
we
can
either
create
and
extend
a
need
for
dependency
or
giving
our
residents
the
tools
and
the
knowledge
and
independence
so
that
they're
able
to
fight
for
themselves.
Q
A
Thank
you
all
right.
That,
then,
is
good.
T
I
almost
feel
like
at
some
of
these
meetings
and
I'm
interested
to
know
how
mayor,
based,
how
you're
going
to
handle
this
that
we
we
both
have
we're
having
discussion
about
arpa,
but
we
also
need
to
take
action
on
our
brand
some
meetings.
So
I
don't
know
how
we're
going
to
manage
that
moving
forward
if
it'll
appear
at
all
the
following
meetings
as
for
action
and
then
we'll
take
action,
sorry
on
certain
parts
of
it
and
then
leave
you
know.
D
I'm
I'm
happy
to
sure
I
think
the
general
direction
tonight
is
to
go
forward
with
with
these
categories
and
principle,
and
I
say
in
principle
because
this
could
be
ever
fluid
ever
changing
that
I
think
staff
is
at
the
ready
to
start
really
bringing
forth
proposals
and
projects,
whether
that
be
through
the
committee
level
or
to
counsel
directly.
However,
that's
appropriate
if
it's
appropriate
to
the
committee,
if
it's
appropriate,
to
counsel
directly
they're
they're
going
to
be
ready
to
bring
some
things
forward.
D
I
want
to
be
clear,
there's
still
a
lot
of
initiatives
that
I
don't
think
we're
ready
to
bring
forward.
Yet
we
need
more
community
input
and
we
need
more
council
input
quite
honestly,
but
I
think
there's
some
projects.
We
call
the
low-hanging
fruit
like
workforce
development.
That's
been
I've
heard
that
loud
and
clear
across
the
board.
We
are
ready
to
get
started
on
those
projects,
so
those
are
the
things
I
think
we
start
because
of
the
carp
initiatives.
We
can
there's
a
plan
in
place.
We
can
start
moving
forward
on
that.
D
As
long
as
it
fills
one
of
the
buckets,
we
can
start
bringing
forth
resolutions
for
action
through
the
appropriate
committees
and
as
and
as
necessary,.
E
I
was
just
going
to
say
exactly
where
he
just
ended
up,
which
is
that
it's
time
to
start
bringing
four
proposals,
I
think
we've
had
a
robust
discussion
on
this.
I
think
the
categories
are.
E
Mostly
good
guidelines
for
us-
and
so
I
think
really
the
next
step-
is
to
start
actually
putting
it
into
practice
and
and
figuring
out
how
we're
actually
going
to
use
this
money
and
hopefully,
a
manner
that
creates
a
real
return
on
investment
for
us.
So.
A
Great,
thank
you,
I
think,
that's
everyone.
So
I
have
a
few
things
that
I
promise
I
will
get
through
without
a
single
fish
metaphor,.
A
Starting
with
the
point
that
was
raised
initially
by
council
member
kelly
and
then
echoed
by
others,
I
think
it
is
smart
and
appropriate
for
us
to
commit
to
a
future
public
discussion
on
this
I'll.
Tell
you.
My
own
view
is
that
this
was
a
far
better
discussion
than
ones
that
we've
had
before.
Of
course,
significant
credit
to
that
goes
to
staff,
who
I
think
were
really
thoughtful
and
careful
and
putting
something
very
valuable
in
front
of
us
as
a
jumping
off
point.
A
But
I
think
part
of
that
did
come
from
the
fact
that
we
dedicated
an
evening
to
it.
I
I
don't
want
to
unilaterally
make
a
commitment
on
behalf
of
council
in
public,
so
I'll
pull
people
to
get
a
sense
of
whether
the
desire
is
to
continue
to
do
these
special
meetings
specifically
for
this
purpose
or
if,
instead,
people
would
like
to
only
do
that
extremely
infrequently
and
usually
just
have
it
as
an
item
on
our
agendas.
But
I
think
it's
both.
A
I
would
take
guidance
from
staff
about
whether
it's
important
to
memorialize
these
kind
of
directions
in
a
resolution
or
just
kind
of
let
staff
move
forward
and
adjust
as
things
move,
but
I
completely
agree
with
everybody
up
here,
the
many
of
you
who
said
it's
time
to
start
talking
in
detail
about
some
of
these,
these
programs,
and-
and
you
know
I
I
just
I-
I
won't
go
into
this
in
detail-
but
I'll
just
say
you
know
some
of
these
categories
like
economic
development,
affordable
housing,
social
services
and
inclusive,
inclusive
and
equitable
recovery.
A
These
are
big,
broad,
diverse
categories.
That
can
mean
a
billion
different
things
and
even
when
we
say
workforce
development
that
itself,
I
mean
you
know
every
time.
Council
member
burns
talks
about
workforce
development.
I
want
to
get
up
and
start
cheering,
but
the
way
he's
talking
and
thinking
about
this
topic
isn't
just
sort
of
a
generic.
A
You
know
what
any
municipality
would
do
if
they
want
to
throw
together
a
workforce
development
effort
where
there
are
specific
ideas
that
are
kind
of
swirling
around
this
discussion
that
I
think
we
need
to
see
what
it
will
take
to
put
those
ideas
into
action,
and
so
I
I
my
my
views
of
the
next
meeting
should-
or
maybe
the
next
series
of
meetings
should
include
detailed
proposals
for
individual
pieces
of
this,
with
the
understanding
that
some
of
that
will
be
ready
sooner
than
other
aspects
and
that's
appropriate
and
healthy
and
good,
and
just
how
things
will
will
need
to
be
just
a
couple
other
quick
things
that
came
to
me.
A
A
There
are
things
in
what
was
sent
to
us
that
are
right
in
the
center
of
what
we're
talking
about
are
one-time
expenditures
that
are
related
to
affordable
housing,
inclusive
and
equitable
recovery
and
so
forth.
There
are
things
that
may
fit
less
well,
but
I
think,
having
that
document
in
front
of
us,
as
we
enter
into
this
next
step
with,
where
we're
being
more
concrete
and
more
detailed
will
be,
will
be
really
really
helpful.
A
So
I
not
only
want
to
repeat
that
appreciation
to
our
environmental
partners,
but
also
to
say
that
we're
open
for
business
if
community
members
want
to
put
in
that
level
of
time
and
effort
to
put
together
a
proposed
budget
for
us.
You
know,
obviously
it's
not
going
to
be
rubber
stamped,
but
it
will
be
taken
seriously
and
incorporated
into
our
thinking
and
it's
very
very
useful
to
us.
A
A
Yeah,
I
will
huddle
with
everybody
to
get
a
sense
of
staff
sense
of
a
time
frame,
that's
doable
on
their
end
and
council's
preference
for
how
much
time
to
put
aside
but
we'll
be
back
talking
about
these
issues
in
public
before
long
and
my
commitment
is,
that
will
be
an
ongoing
thing.
It's
not
going
to
be
this,
isn't
the
last
meeting
or
the
second
last
meeting
we'll
continue
to
have
these
conversations
in
a
public
way
with
that
just
again,
thanks
for
everyone.
A
Thank
you
to
council
for
both
prompting
this
meeting
and
then
being
so
thoughtful
and
engaged
in
it.
I
think
this
is
clearly
the
only
way
we'll
be
successful
in
spending
this
money
properly
and
thank
you
to
staff
for
doing
really
significant
work,
we're
I
feel
like
we're,
leaps
and
bounds
ahead
of
where
we
were
two
weeks
ago,
and
that
that's
that's
a
great
thing.
It's
a
great
thing,
and
I
I'm
really
appreciative
of
it.
A
So
with
that
it's
time
for
call
of
the
awards,
beginning
with
councilmember
burns,.
M
O
M
That
one,
but
I
have
asked
that
going
forward,
that
we
have
it
in
a
venue
there's
a
couple
of
other
rooms,
so
subsequent
meetings.
I
hope
that
we
will
have
hybrid
okay.
E
Are
we
gonna
have
quorum
if
it's
not
virtual,
sorry,
this
isn't
the
time
necessarily
but.
T
T
T
This
is
a
committee
that
is
formed
really
as
a
response
to
kind
of
ongoing
issues
and
concerns
of
of
residents
in
evanston,
in
particular
along
kind
of
the
the
the
eastern
part
of
the
city
and
in
my
ward
and
in
the
first
ward,
and
so
this
is
a
really
important
discussion
and
I
invite
before
residents,
to
come
out
and
participate
at
every
moment
in
this
committee,
because
this
is
really
going
to
drive
a
lot
of
the
work
forward
and
address
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
we've
heard
since
we've
been
elected
and
even
prior
to
the
discussion
of
integrated
interrelated
housing
policies.
T
So
we'll
discuss
amending
the
definition
of
family
and
change.
City
code
pertaining
to
occupancy
of
residential
units
strengthen
the
nuisance
premise,
ordinance
to
more
effectively
address
properties
with
disruptive
residents
and
foster
safe
and
healthy
neighborhoods
review
rental
licensing
as
a
replacement
for
rental
registration
as
a
tool
to
maintain
the
safety
and
quality
of
rental
housing.
Consider
an
increase
in
fees
for
property
maintenance
violations,
update
landlord
tenants,
ordinance
requirements.
R
E
M
Again,
I'd
just
like
to
reiterate
what
councilmember
burns
stated
about
our
first
meeting
of
the
competing
the
first
meeting
of
this
subcommittee
of
p
d,
this
wednesday
at
five
o'clock,
and
I
hope
many
people
attend
from
across
the
city
and
especially
in
the
first
ward,
where
we've
experienced
a
lot
of
issues
and
problems
around
regarding
housing
and
rental
and
and
other
issues
so
hope
the
community
comes
out
to
help
inform
our
discussion.
Thank
you.
U
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
just
a
quick
announcement.
Fourth
ward
meeting
tomorrow
evening:
7
p.m.
At
robert
crown,
and
I
would
also
like
to
take
a
minute
to
talk
about
the
apology
announcement
that
you
read
I'd
like
to
thank
all
my
colleagues
up
here
on
the
dias
all
eight
of
my
city,
council,
colleagues,
and
the
mayor
for
participating
in
that
project.
C
I
think
we
ended
up
with
a
document
that
might
not
have
reflected
our
100
percent
of
each
of
our
individual
desires
because
they're
in
such
a
a
difficult
and
important
topic,
there's
not
going
to
be
perfect
alignment,
but
I
I
think,
by
collaborating
in
the
manner
that
we
have,
we
have
come
up
with
a
document
that
is
a
statement
that
is
sincere
and
meaningful
and
all
the
more
powerful,
with
the
unanimous
support
of
the
nine
members
of
the
city,
council
and
and
the
mayor.
C
So
thank
you,
colleagues
for
working
with
me
on
that.
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
some
folks
that
helped
along
the
way
allison
leipzinger
was
the
first
one
to
you,
know
kind
of
help,
get
the
the
ink
flowing
and
the
pen
so
allison.
Thank
you
for
that.
C
I'd
like
to
also
acknowledge
some
community
members
who
lent
their
professional
expertise,
so
we
could
to
to
make
sure
that
our
apology
had
a
trauma-informed
perspective,
so
just
I'd
like
to
shout
out
to
dakal
fonda
liz,
feldman
and
mary,
jo
barrett,
for
their
assistance
in
this
process.
Thank
you.
