H
Hi,
my
name
is
Eric
passett
I
am
owner
of
North,
Shore
apartments
and
condos
and
I'm.
Also
a
citizen
of
the
fourth
ward
and
I
just
wanted
to
bring
one
thing.
I'm
sure
everybody's.
The
council
is
aware
of
this
that
every
time
the
property
taxes
are
raised,
the
person
who
get
the
people
get
hurt.
The
worst
are
the
landlords
and
in
turn,
working
people.
So
the
people
that
you're
trying
to
help
through
affordable
housing
are
being
hurt
by
proposed
increases
in
property
taxes.
It
it
I
mean
I.
H
You
know
we
still
haven't
found
out
the
final
tally
of
what
our
property
taxes
are
going
to
go
up
as
a
landlord,
but
they
are
huge
not
even
considering
this
part
of
it
are
huge,
so
they'll
just
wanting
to
make
peop
somebody
people
aware
of
that.
My
my
comment
is
on
the
Civic
Center
itself.
I
mean
this
is
a
pretty
underutilized.
Building
as
a
whole,
I
mean
how
many
open
rooms
are
in
this
building.
H
H
H
If
there's
a
huge
portion
of
vacant
Pro,
you
know
office
space
in
downtown
Evanston.
That
would
love
for
city
of
Evanson
to
to
rent.
If
we,
even
even
if
she
spent
a
million
dollars
a
year.
It'd.
Take
you
50
years
to
spend
all
the
money
that's
proposed
here,
plus
we
could
turn
this
into
a
park.
You
know
knock
this
down
turn
into
a
park.
You
could
sell
it
I
mean
developers
would
would
salivate
over
this
kind
of
property,
but
that
would
be
a
whole
other
controversy.
H
You
could
make
it
into
a
park
and
just
knock
and
do
nothing
with
it
and
and
it
would
enough
set
so
so
my
proposals
did
we
find
a
way
to
move.
I
mean
you're
talking
again,
three
million
dollars
this
year
for
Windows
just
consultants
over
the
first
phase.
Brickwork-
and
this
is
not
even
I-
mean
it's
an
old
building.
It's
going
to
continue
to
need
more
and
more
upkeep,
it's
it's
a
never-ending
cycle
and
you
could
rent
TurnKey
office
space
that
has
never
ever
been
used
in
downtown
Evanston.
H
I
Before
I
start
my
public,
my
comments
on
public
hearing
I
wanted
to
know
what
the
purpose
and
intent
of
the
public
hearing
I
thought
it
was
to
have
discussion
with
residents.
I.
Don't
think
that
there
was
any
discussion
about
the
budget
for
2023
so
far
this
year.
So
I
thought
that
this
that's
what
this
is
going
to
be.
Why
wouldn't
a
public
hearing
be
a
hearing
by
itself?
Why
is
it
the
beginning
of
a
council
meeting
that
evidently
nobody
knows
anything
about
nobody
up.
There
knows
anything
about
a
public
hearing
for
tonight.
I
Stephanie
doesn't
know
anything
about
it.
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
ask
Luke
Stowe
I,
don't
know
if
you
knew
about
public
hearing
for
it's
it's
properly.
It's
properly
noticed
in
Chicago
Tribune.
Of
course
it's
not
noticed
anywhere
else.
It's
not
on
the
calendar
City
calendar.
Why
is
it
not
on
City
calendar?
I
Okay,
that's
that's
ridiculous!
All
right
and
now
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
budget
Okay.
So
today
it
appears
you're
moving
forward
with
a
402
million
dollar
budget
exhibit
a
that
I
printed
out.
It
says
fiscal
year,
2023
adopted
budget
summary.
How
is
the
budget
adopted
nobody's
talked
about
it
now,
all
of
a
sudden,
it's
adopted
for
402
million
dollars.
I
Oh
really,
okay,
I
see
that
you
followed
the
letter
of
the
law
by
posting
this
in
the
Tribune
and
time
and
time
again,
you're,
not
following
the
spirit
of
the
law,
which
is
to
allow
the
residents
to
know
what's
going
on
in
their
Community.
How
much
money
is
being
spent
okay,
where
our
money's
going
all
right.
This
is
this
is
Terr
I'm
the
by
the
way
it's
posted
in
Chicago
Tribune
as
having
a
hearing
at
six
o'clock,
which,
of
course,
nobody
knew
anything
about
either
I'm
sitting
here
since
six
o'clock.
I
What
time
is
it
now
all
right?
This
is
crazy,
with
no
discussion
with
residents
about
the
budget
now
at
the
end
of
the
year.
Now
you
want
to
have
a
budget
discussion
when,
when
your
form
here
says
this
is
the
adopted
budget.
402
million
okay.
So
let's
talk
about
your
adopted
budget
general
assistance
fund.
What
is
that
for
1.3
million
dollars?
Library
fund
is
nine
million
dollars,
I,
don't
get
it
15.
B
I
Okay,
Library
Debt
Service
fund
is
507
million
as
I
understand
it.
Our
debt
service
for
our
bonds,
our
3
million
per
year.
It
says
here
15
million
dollars,
time.
B
I
B
We're
not
going
to
turn
to
those
who
signed
up
online
to
participate
in
the
public
hearing
I'm.
These
are
interspersed
on
the
list
in
front
of
me
with
those
who
will
participate
in
ordinary
public
comment
later
on
in
the
evening.
So
forgive
me
if
I
miss
anyone,
the
first
speaker
will
be
Jeff
Green,
who
will
be
followed
by
Mary
rosinski
and
then
Dorian
price,
Jeff,
Green.
J
Good
evening,
I'm,
a
member
of
the
Evanston
chapter
of
citizens,
climate
Lobby
I'm,
here
to
express
our
chapter's
support
for
the
two
sustainability
positions
requested
by
Kiera
Pratt
budgeting
for
the
requests,
one
for
a
community
outreach
specialist
and
the
other
four
a
resilient
building
specialist
is
necessary
if
the
city
is
to
meet
its
carp
goals.
J
Failure
to
provide
funding
would
result
in
an
unacceptable
contraction
in
the
scope
of
the
city's
commitment
to
public
sustainability,
work,
environmental
justice,
community
outreach
building
emissions
reduction
and
in
its
ability
to
collect
analyze
and
report
on
data
whose
compilation
is
required
by
the
energy
and
water
benchmarking.
Ordinance
CCL
urges
you
to
vote
in
favor
of
funding
the
two
positions
to
ensure
that
carp
is
a
promise
kept.
C
K
Hello,
this
is
Doreen
price
and
Ravi.
Let
me
get
back
to
my
notes,
Here
in
terms
of
the
budget
and
reading
articles
that
support
and
requests
of
of
people
like
Ray
and
others
for
more
Community
participation.
K
One
of
the
solutions,
especially
with
regard
to
oh,
my
God.
What's
going
to
happen
next
to
zoning
or
what's
going
to
happen
next
to
something
else
or
what's
going
to
happen
in
the
next
disaster,
and
oh
my
God,
if
we're
dealing
with,
we
have
enough
money
to
do
any
or
all
of
the
above
prioritizing
things
on
the
basis
of
what's
important.
K
Truly
important
is
super
important
and
you
get
the
impression
at
least
I
do
and
others,
perhaps
that
if
residents
were
listening
to
more
intensely
and
considerations
of
their
concerns
raised
earlier,
as
Ray
may
be
suggesting
as
well,
we
will
probably
come
to
better
conclusions
rather
sooner
on
more
comprehensive
coverage
of
issues
that
right
now
are
somewhat
competitive
in
order
to
help
people
and
have
them
compete
for
resources.
It's
not
exactly
helping
Community
Unity
or
people's
mental
mental
health
and
physical
well-being.
K
So
there
was
an
article
written
by
the
daily
Northwestern.
Thank
you.
Northwestern
I'm
an
alumni
and,
and
it's
about
the
Q,
a
of
the
city
manager,
Luke
Stowe,
and
so
my
suggestions
after
reading
that
would
be
fine
synergies
to
heal
prosper
and
sustain
the
evilston
community.
K
Deep
Outreach,
with
a
responsive
budget
across
all
of
Evanston,
will
find
current
and
future
synergies
synergies,
mind
you
synergies,
we're
Cycles
right
now
for
programs,
but
policies
and
2023
budget
living
budgets
that
prioritize
and
this
conclusive
zoning
loving
zoning
that
prioritize
conclusion
are
Nimble
to
respond
or
prevent
loss
assumes
irreparable.
Currently,
as
has
been
done
in
the
past,
when
Community
well-being
is
both
reserved
and
goal,
I
mean
that's
huge
to
say,
community
well-being
can
be
a
source
of
inspiration
and
solution
and
continuing
Improvement.
We
wanted
to.
B
K
K
We
should
be
having
discussions
as
Ray
suggests
that
are
open
and
easily
accessible
by
all
of
the
residents,
not
just
the
majority,
which
represents
not
all
of
your
residents,
as
we
know
for
a
fact
so
anyway,
thank
you
for
that
and
thank
you
Luke
for
thank
you
Luke
for
your
efforts
in
that
regard.
Thank
you.
B
L
And
thank
you
very
much.
I
want
to
speak
to
the
budget
because
I
think
it's
it's
very
over
it's
very
bloated
and
there's
time
period
or
public
involvement
has
been
shortened
so
much
this
year
because
of
many
things,
as
we
all
know,
with
the
city
manager,
search
and
all
that
and
I
would
like
to
see
more
consideration.
Given
for
public
comment,
we
have
too
many
huge
public
service
projects
that
have
been
discussed.
L
Second
of
all,
the
the
oh
I
think
that's
all
I
really
need
to
say:
I
know
that
citizens
Alliance
for
a
better
government
will
be
doing
a
public
discussion
also
to
try
to
Aid
in
educating
people
that
will
be
coming
probably
that
first
week
in
November
we're
trying
not
to
conflict
with
the
city
budget
but
before
discussion,
but
before
too
much
time
has
gone
on,
so
that
people
would
know
what
questions
to
ask
I
think
we
need
more
information,
and
that's
all
I'd
like
to
say
for
now.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
The
the
final
speaker
will
be
Mike
fasilko.
N
Thank
you
very
much
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
I
didn't
know
about
this.
Wasn't
in
the
calendar,
you
missed
it
on
the
agenda.
I
didn't
know,
I
had
to
sign
up
special
for
this,
so
thank
you.
I
also
want
to
thank
mayor
biss
for
his
public
comments
earlier
in
the
week
last
week
about
you
know
regarding
reducing
the
proposed
budget.
I
really
appreciate
that.
N
My
first
question
is:
where
is
the
10
million
plus
dollars?
Northwestern
University
should
be
contributing
to
our
budget.
That
issue
with
Northwestern
seems
to
have
come
and
gone
again.
It's
you
don't
hear
about
it,
I'd
like
to
know
more
about
what
what
they're
going
to
do,
what
Northwestern
is
going
to
do
for
us
rather
than
pay
all
the
property
taxes
they
should
be
paying
for
us
and
then
on
the
basis
of
what
is
necessary
in
2013
I,
just
want
to
run
through
some
items
that
are.
N
One
of
my
favorites
these
days
is
the
animal
shelter
because
it's
now
estimated
as
I
understand
it
as
of
September
to
be
a
7.5
million
dollar
project,
not
a
6.3
million
dollar
project,
like
we
were
told
repeatedly
by
staff
that
should
be
taken
off
the
list
entirely
on
page
448
of
the
budget
document.
What
is
a
circuit
circularity
warehouse
for
the
cost
of
2.1
million
dollars?
Don't
know
what
it
is.
Probably
shouldn't
be
a
necessity.
N
Someone
else
mentioned
the
Civic
Center.
The
council
doesn't
know
what
it's
going
to
do
for
the
Civic
Center,
so
there
shouldn't
be
a
59
million
dollar
budget
to
do
things
for
the
Civic
Center
building.
Until
this
Council
knows
what
they're
going
to
be
doing
with
the
building
one
step
ahead
of
the
other,
why
do
we
need
3.65
million
dollars
in
traffic
calming
on
Oakton
corridor?
N
A
lot
of
these
things
could
happen
in
a
year
or
two
later,
31.7
million
dollars
for
renovations
of
the
Civic
Center.
It
seems
you
could
rebuild
that
building
for
31.7
million,
but
again
I'm
not
sure,
if
that's
an
absolute
necessity
this
coming
here
or
if
it
can
wait
for
Alderman
nuismo
15.
B
N
4
45
reconsider
fuel
type,
the
service
center
North
Island
fuel
system
replacement
for
1.7
million.
What
exactly
is
that
I
hope?
It's
not
fossil
fuels.
B
Your
time
is
up.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
and
now
I
made
to
understand
that
Tina
Payton's
sign
up
is
also
for
for
the
budget
hearing
Ms
Payton.
M
Yes,
hi
good
evening
you
today,
you
should
not
be
presenting
the
budget.
Public
hearing
means
questions
asked
by
the
citizen
citizens
and
answered
at
the
meeting
not
at
a
later
date.
Everyone
should
be
able
to
hear
the
questions
and
immediate
answers.
M
M
The
third
board
meeting
was
rescheduled
because
of
conflicted
with
the
times
of
the
other
meetings,
and
you
also
have
an
Inu
meeting
at
the
same
time.
The
ninth
ward
meeting
is
this
Wednesday
and
there
hasn't
been
a
six
Ward
meeting,
I'm,
not
sure
if
there
was
any
conversation
at
the
Seventh
Ward
meeting,
because
it
was
a
discussion
about
Northwestern.
So
so
far
you
only
talk
to
One
Ward
about
the
budget.
M
In
the
past,
before
covid,
the
city
had
question
and
answer
remotely,
so
the
city
and
manager
and
I
believe
High
Tish
at
the
time
and
the
other
appropriate
staff
were
at
the
city
hall,
recording
a
meeting,
and
you
had
it.
This
was
even
before
covid,
so
you
were
doing
a
zoom
meeting
and
you
had
the
awards.
You
would
discuss
the
meeting
at
each
Ward
and
people
could
ask
questions
and
have
a
response,
I
think
for
fair
and
transparency.
M
You
need
to
do
this
appropriately
and
not
share
this
information
today
and
have
wait
for
word
meetings
where
you
can
discuss
it,
and
people
can
ask
questions
and
you
can
give
an
answer.
You
have
rushed
this
through
and
no
one
is
knows
what
you're
doing
you're,
not
being
fair
and
not
transparent.
Thank
you
and
black
lives
matter.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
This
concludes
the
public
input
this
evening.
Are
there
members
of
city
council
who
would
like
to
participate
in
the
hearing,
councilmember
Kelly.
A
A
I
understand
that
legally
we
complied
because
it
was
buried
in
the
Tribune.
But
that's
not
really
I,
don't
think
that
was
appropriate
in
terms
of
notifying
our
Evanston
residents.
So
I'd
like
to
move
that
this
be
recessed
to
a
I,
think
I'd
be
nice.
In
the
past
we
always
had
Saturdays
a
Saturday
session.
I
think
that
would
be
ideal,
but
at
any
rate,
I'd
like
to
move
to
have
this
recessed.
B
So
I
think
and
Ms
regeck
can
we
and
I
think
you
need
to
to
give
us
a
date
that
you
want
at
recess
too?
Okay,.
A
O
For
point
of
just
information
order,
I
would
ask
that
we'd
not
recess
this
meeting
that
we
I
think
you
know
comes
from
when
and
others
who
have
been
here
for
actually
you're
starting
to
dwindle
down
to
one
of
the
few
who
have
been
here
for
a
while
councilmember
when
in
Ravel
I'm
sure
both
remember
that
we
have
had
those
Saturday
sessions,
so
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
hold
the
Saturday
session
I.
Just
don't
think
we
need
to
recess
in
order
to
do
that.
O
That
we
just
hold
a
Saturday
meeting
to
discuss
a
budget
and
not
recess
this
public
hearing
and
I.
A
B
Council,
member
Reed
is
recommending
that
we
adjourn
the
hearing,
as
was
the
plan
and
then
separately
schedule
a
meeting
to
be
held
on
a
Saturday
which,
if
which
is
one
thing,
that
a
person
could
do
a
different
thing,
a
person
could
do,
is
move
to
recess.
This
I
think
the
worst
thing
a
person
could
do
is
argue
about
it
for
a
long
time.
Okay,.
A
So
I
either
way
it's
fine
right,
okay,
so
fine,
that's
fine!
We'll
go
with
that.
As
long
as
there's
no
difference,
that's
fine!
So
I'd
like
to
I,
don't
know
I,
don't
have
the
calendar
in
front
of
me,
but
I
I
agree
that
this
wasn't
properly
noticed.
So
I
would
say
a
week
from
I
mean
properly
I
know
it
was
in
a
Tribune,
but
it
was
not
on
the
calendar
and
I
know
many
people
didn't
see
it
so
I.
P
P
B
Councilman
read
is
correct
about
the
rules.
Once
you've
got
three
members
who
want
to
hold
a
meeting
something
we
did
last
December
you'll
remember
to
discuss
violence
in
the
community,
it's
something
that
can
be
done
by
three
members
again
at
this
time.
A
Okay
separately,
so
I
don't
so
we
don't
have
to
set
the
date
to.
B
Okay,
hearing
no
further
discussion
hearing
no
further
discussion.
I
hereby
adjourn
this
public
hearing
on
the
budget,
and
this
brings
us
to
the
next
item
on
our
agenda,
which
is
my
public
announcements
and
proclamations.
First
of
all,
you'll
notice
that
I'm
supporting
a
very
fashionable
sticker
this
evening,
my
I
voted
sticker
I'll
be
the
first
to
admit
that
it's
kind
of
easy
for
me
I
work
in
this
building
where
early
voting
is
taking
place.
B
Hope
you
save
some
Applause
for
after
the
proclamation
is
read
too,
whereas
Second
Baptist
Church,
the
first
black
Baptist
Church
organized
in
Evanston,
was
established
on
November
17
1882.
B
Now,
therefore,
I
Daniel,
mayor
of
the
City
of
Evanston,
do
hereby
Proclaim
November
13
2022,
as
Second
Baptist
Church
day
in
the
City
of
Evanston,
and
was
to
recognize
and
honor
the
significance
of
the
observance
of
this
140th
anniversary.
Congratulations
I
know
that
Reverend
Dr
Michael
Nabors
is
here
to
accept
this.
If
we
could
all
give
Pastor
neighbors
a
big
hand,
I
would
appreciate
it.
B
Q
Two
mayor
best
and
members
of
the
city
council,
on
behalf
of
Second
Baptist,
Church,
140
years
of
service
and
Ministry
to
the
Evanston
Community
I,
am
deeply
humbled
and
proud
to
receive
this
Proclamation.
The
reason
why
this
place
is
not
filled
with
Second
Baptist
folk
is
because
I
wanted
it
to
be
a
surprise,
as
we
celebrate
on
November
13th
the
actual
day
of
140
years
together.
So
you
all
are
going
to
have
to
do
me.
A
favor.
Please
don't
tell
anybody.
Q
I
know
that's
going
to
be
very
very
difficult,
but
we
are
very,
very
grateful
for
the
service
that
we
continue
to
try
to
provide
to
the
community
working
in
Interfaith
venues
as
well
as
working
with
other
social
and
civic-minded
and
Community
organizations.
We're
grateful
for
this
opportunity
and
thank
you
very
much.
We
appreciate
it.
R
B
Thank
you,
council
member.
That
concludes
my
announcements
and
proclamations.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
city
manager's
public
announcements.
S
T
Good
evening,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
today,
I'm
Craig,
Lynch,
CEO
of
Youth
and
opportunity
United
here
with
Saul
Anderson
and
the
rest
of
the
team
from
cradle
to
career.
T
We
heard
loud
and
clear
the
need
for
Credo
to
be
more
responsive
and
more
transparent.
Acknowledging
that
Collective
impact
work
is
extremely
difficult
and
challenging.
There
have
been
some
signs
of
progress,
and
so
we're
here
today
to
report
on
progress
and
results
across
four
key
areas:
leadership
and
strategic
planning,
partnering
with
the
city,
advancing
systems,
change
and
building
Community
leaders.
T
So
on
the
leadership
and
strategic
planning
front,
we
are
currently
in
the
middle
of
a
nationwide
search
for
a
new
leadership
for
Cradle
to
career
we've
partnered
with
the
Alma
Group,
which
was
the
group
that
also
led
the
search
for
Evanston
Township
High
School.
So
it's
a
really
inclusive
process
that
has
Equity
at
the
core.
So
we're
really
excited
about
the
potential
for
new
leadership.
That's
going
to
really
support
cradle
to
careers
efforts
and
also
support
the
community.
T
We've
completed
a
highly
strategic,
a
highly
inclusive
strategic
planning
process
to
ensure
that
evanston's
Cradle
to
Career
strategic
Direction
was
informed
by
the
community.
We've
had
evening
listening
sessions
with
community
members
for
input,
so
we
feel
pretty
good
about
our
ability
to
look
to
the
Future
and
really
focus
on
Collective
impact
work
across
the
community.
T
We
also
brought
in
a
nationally
recognized
expert
in
Collective
impact
to
really
take
a
look
at
our
structure.
Take
a
look
at
our
plans
and
process
and
give
us
a
give
us
feedback
on
things
that
we
can
do
to
strengthen
our
efforts
and
based
on
based
on
that
assessment
and
also
some
partner
work.
We
developed
three
clear
areas
of
focus,
because
one
of
the
big
findings
from
our
work
was
that
we
were
stretched
a
little
too
thin
and
Collective
impact
work
is
really
challenging
when
you
try
to
tackle
too
many
fronts
at
once.
T
So
some
highlights
on
that
front
we
facilitated
and
supported,
at
least
at
current
count
five
data
walks
where
we've
given
community
members
a
chance
to
view
the
e-plan
data
and
had
really
robust
discussion,
and
also
that
work
has
also
just
spawned
I.
Think
some
just
fresh
thinking
about
ways
in
which
we
can
better
support
better
support.
The
community
we've
strengthened
our
crisis
response
efforts.
So
the
collective,
which
is
a
subgroup
that
was
spawned
by
Cradle
nine
youth
servant
organizations,
we've
developed
a
crisis
response
team.
T
T
We've
been
a
strong
supporter
of
my
city,
your
city,
our
city,
which
I'm
sure
everyone
here
knows
about
really
strong
violence,
mitigation
efforts
and
providing
a
really
supportive
place
for
our
young
people
to
to
thrive
and
just
just
be
young
people.
So
we've
really
thrown
our
efforts
behind
making
sure
that
that
initiative
has
been
successful,
partnering
with
the
mayor's
employment
advisory,
Council
around
Workforce
Development,
and
also
supporting
Community
coffees,
which
has
been
a
platform
for
a
lot
of
for
many
City
officials
to
come
and
talk
directly
to
Residents
in
the
community.
T
So
we
feel
pretty
good,
there's
much
much
more
work
to
do
and
again,
as
I
mentioned
Collective
impact
work
is
super
super
difficult,
but
we're
getting
ourselves
set
up
to
start
to
move
some
of
the
big
rocks
which
will
admittedly
take
take
years
for
us
to
do.
But
we're
excited
about
the
future
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
my
colleague
Saul
to
talk
about
some
efforts
across
a
couple.
Other
fronts.
U
Thank
you
Craig.
Thank
you
to
city
manager,
Stowe
for
this
time
on
the
agenda
and
to
the
entire
Council
Saul
Anderson
from
the
Evanston
Community
Foundation
I
just
wanted
to
talk
about
a
few
of
the
other
things
that
we're
really
jumping
into
with
the
Cradle
to
Career
initiative.
So,
first
of
all,
you
know,
Cradle
to
Career
is
Neighborhood
Network
coordinator
for
the
United
Way
of
Metropolitan
Chicago.
Through
that
work
we
are
Distributing
over
175
thousand
dollars
to
collaborations
of
our
partners
in
the
community.
U
Some
of
the
things
we're
jumping
in
on
that
one
of
the
big
ones
is
the
the
create
supporting
the
expansion
of
the
savings
for
Success
program,
which
is
actually
a
partnership
between
critical
to
Career,
along
with
the
with
ECF
and
the
YWCA
of
Evanston
and
North
Shore,
a
program
designed
to
seed
529
accounts,
post-secondary
education
savings
accounts
eventually
for
every
kindergarten
student
in
Evanston.
So
we're
really
proud
of
that
expansion.
We
are
also
working
with
both
school
districts.
U
Currently,
as
many
of
you
know,
the
USDA
dropped
the
free
lunch
Opera
availability
for
all.
We
know
that
a
number
of
our
students
in
our
community
who
are
not
free
lunch
or
reduced
lunch,
but
maybe
full
pay
lunch,
can't
actually
afford
the
full
cost
of
lunch.
Despite
you
know,
even
when
they
can't
qualify
so
we're
working
with
both
school
districts
to
ensure
that
no
child
will
have
to
miss
lunch
or
miss
a
meal
at
school
because
they
can't
afford
the
cost
of
a
school
meal.
U
We're
also
working
to
create
a
Child
and
Family
Resource
Center
resource
hub
for
families
with
young
children
in
the
Fifth
Ward
I.
Think
the
biggest
piece
of
our
work
to
this
point
has
been
our
building
of
community
leaders.
I.
Think
the
two
kind
of
crown
jewels
in
Evanston
Cradle
to
careers
work
have
always
been
the
advocates
for
Action
Program,
which
gives
voice
to
community
members
who
are
too
often
unheard
as
they
develop
leadership
skills
and
build
their
capacity
to
lead
to
serve
Evanston.
U
Excuse
me
and
our
student
Advocates,
who
are
give
voice
to
critical
student
perspectives.
They
they
hosted
an
annual
Equity
Summit
this
year
that
allows
students
employed
through
the
mayor's
Summer
Youth
Employment
Program,
to
come
together
and
discuss
the
challenges
of
equity
in
our
community.
U
Also,
I
wanted
to
make
a
note
that
the
student
Advocates
will
be
partnering
with
the
Evanston
youth
advisory
Council
to
host
a
town
hall
here
in
Evanston
city
council
chambers,
November
1st
at
6
PM,
so
they'll
be
sitting
in
all
of
your
seats,
so
excited
to
see
that
come
about
as
well,
and
also
our
community
building
grants
are
a
big
piece
of
this
work.
So
we
give
community
members
an
opportunity
to
give
back
to
their
neighborhoods
to
build
and
building
skills.
U
So
this
is
a
work
that
we
do
through
advocates
for
Action,
so
we
had
a
High
School
junior,
who
created
an
event
for
75
middle
school
students
of
color
to
work
with
diverse
groups
of
professionals
to
explore
careers
in
culinary
arts,
technology
writing
engineering,
engineering,
advocacy
and
dance.
Also
out
of
this
program
has
developed
the
hope
on
Hoven
program,
which
we
brought
together,
a
community
that
had
struggled
with
violence
to
meet
their
neighbors
and
to
share
resources
and
just
to
get
to
know
one
another.
U
An
ECF
has
been
really
intentional
about
working
with
Evanston
Cradle
to
Career
to
make
sure
that
these
resources
that
are
being
distributed
in
the
community
are
additive
to
some
of
the
community
work
that
we're
doing
and
I
think.
A
great
example
of
this
will
bring
up
now
is
candy
Corbin's,
who
is
a
member
of
the
advocates
for
Action
team?
U
C
V
Good
evening,
everybody,
as
he
said
before,
I
am
candy
corbins
I
am
owner
of
eye
candy,
hair
studio,
studio
on
Central
Street.
This
is
my
council
person
and
I
am
also
owner
of
eye
candy,
Academy
and
I'm.
An
advocate
for
Action
I'm,
a
third
generation
hair
care
professional
here
in
Evanston
I
was
born
and
raised
here.
V
My
grandfather
opened
a
barber
shop
in
1962,
and
my
mom
still
currently
has
that
barber
shop,
which
is
located
on
Dodge
and
Evanston,
and
this
is
where
I
got
my
passion
for
community
and
for
community
service
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
know,
but
a
lot
of
resources
flow
through
barber
shops
and
hair
salons
right,
because
we
have
lots
of
different
kinds
of
people
all
meeting
in
the
same
place.
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
resources
to
be
shared
and
for
knowledge
to
be
shared.
V
So
I
began
my
journey
with
Cradle
to
career
in
2018
by
way
of
the
community
building
grants
through
the
advocates
for
Action
I.
Just
was
in
my
chair
talking
to
one
of
the
clients
who
came
in
again.
That's
that
sharing
of
knowledge-
and
she
was
telling
me
how
she
had
won
a
grant
and
started
a
foundation
and
I
was
like.
V
V
How
can
I
make
this
something
that
I
can
help
more
children
with,
and
you
know
make
this
community
make
this
programming
bigger
in
the
community
and
so
So?
Currently,
I
am
teaching
classes
at
Fleetwood,
jourdain
I
have
Mondays
and
Wednesdays
at
Robert.
Crown
I
have
55
students
that
are
currently
signed
up
and
we
do
90
minutes
at
both
locations
on
Mondays
and
Wednesdays
and
I'm,
also
at
eths
on
Thursdays
for
the
natural
hair
Dome
Care
Program.
V
This
is
what
it's
all
about
right.
This
is
why
I
wanted
to
be
an
advocate
for
Action,
because
this
is
I
can
use
my
gift,
like
some
people,
might
think.
Oh
well,
you're,
just
a
hair
stylist
like
what
do
you
have
to
offer,
but
you
know
this
is
my
way
of
showing
people
soft
skills.
I
have
young
people
who
come
in,
who
don't
even
know
how
to
look
people
in
the
eye,
we're
learning
all
kinds
of
transferable
skills
that
they
can
use
in
other
places
and
I'm,
not
the
only
person
who's
doing
this
right.
V
All
of
my
other
Advocates
are
doing
the
same
thing.
We
were
able
to
give
out
44
Community
Building
grants
that
have
forged
leadership,
qualities
in
all
of
the
grantees
that
have
come,
so
they
all
have
the
potential
to
do
things
like
this.
We
do
our
Saturday
morning
coffees,
which
some
of
you
have
been
guests
on
already,
and
we
also
have
the
data
walk,
which
is
inspired
by
also
you
guys.
Each
have
one
of
the
two
things
in
front
of
you.
V
B
Thank
you
very
much.
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
Communications
from
the
city
clerk.
D
We
had
a
few
public
comments.
Everyone
has
received,
those
one
is
from
Alvin
some
live
TV,
which
you
guys
have
got
those,
and
then
we
have
a
list
of
people
who
emailed
for
support
for
the
welcome
center
Jesus
Vega.
W
B
Thank
you
very
much.
This
brings
us
to
public
comment
this
evening,
we'll
begin,
as
always
with
those
who
signed
up
in
person
to
speak
in
person.
Everyone
this
evening
will
be
given
three
minutes.
The
first
speaker
is
Ronald
O'neal.
X
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
my
name
is
Ronald
O'neill
I'm,
the
general
counsel
for
IHC
Co
construction
companies.
Llc.
We
were
awarded
a
contract
to
build
your
1909
raw
water
intake,
replacement,
project
and
I.
Think
you
all
pretty
much
know
the
background
and
the
facts.
I've
spoken
to
some
of
you
all
in
the
previous
committee
meeting,
so
I'm
just
going
to
keep
this
brief,
we
would
like
an
opportunity
to
cure
the
judge's
ruling
in
this
matter.
We
believe
that
we
can
do
it.
We
believe
that
we
should
be
given
the
opportunity
to
do
it.
X
We
were
the
lowest
qualified
bidder
by
2.5
million
dollars
in
my
world.
That's
still
real
money,
and
we
believe
that
the
the
taxpayers
of
Evanston
and
the
communities
that
this
project
will
serve
because
it's
not
just
Evanston
would
be
well
served
by
allowing
IHC
to
go
forward
with
this
project.
We
can
fix
this
problem
if
you
choose
not
to
allow
us
to
cure
it.
X
X
If
it
had
been
rebid
right
away,
we
we
would
have
been
well
before
the
deadlines
that
your
financing
calls
for.
So
we
think
it's
fair
and
reasonable
for
us
to
request,
since
we
were
the
lowest
qualified
bidder
for
us
to
be
given
an
opportunity
to
cure
or
to
rebid
it
serves
us,
it
serves
the
City
of
Evanston
and
it
serves
its
citizens
that
it
Ser
this
project
will
serve.
Thank
you.
Y
Thank
you,
council
members
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight.
Just
following
up.
My
name
is
Russell
again
I'm
the
vice
president
I'm
in
charge
of
all
the
estimating
at
IHC
construction,
and
so
I
was
responsible
for
putting
the
bid
together
that
we
were
low
on
responsive
fund
and
I
just
wanted
to
hit
on
a
couple
a
couple
facts
through
the
bidding
process
that
we,
we
think,
are
kind
of
pertinent
to
this.
Y
This
whole
process
and
the
whole
the
whole
consensus
around
the
judges
decision
back
a
month
and
a
half
ago
was
it
was
around
a
statement
that
basically
stated
that
the
qualifications
of
the
Marine
contractor
on
the
project
needed
to
have
10
years
of
experience
on
the
Great
Lakes
and
the
two
contractors
that
bid
the
job.
One
was
Ballard
and
one
was
Global.
They
both
bid
to
us
as
subcontractors
for
the
project
and
Ballard
also
presented
a
proposal
to
you,
folks
for
as
a
general
contractor
at
bedtime.
Y
When
we
turned
our
bid
in
Global,
Construction
was
considerably
lower
than
Ballard
on
a
subcontracting
portion
of
the
work.
That's
why
we
chose
Global
and
went
forward
with
their
proposal.
We
felt
that
we
met
the
qualifications
at
Mid
time
kind
of
a
note
there.
There
were
no
qualifications
to
be
submitted
at
bedtime,
so
we
looked
at
that
and
all
of
that
documentation
to
show
your
qualifications
was
actually
required
to
be
done
after
the
bid
was
turned
in.
Y
So
with
that
being
said,
I
think
it
is
imperative
that
we
could
be
given
an
opportunity
to
address
any
quality
qualification
concerns
that
staff
may
have
with
our
subcontractors.
Y
Z
I'm
Dave
Rock
I'm,
the
president
of
IHC
I,
have
been
doing
civil
Contracting
in
Northern
Illinois
for
40
years
and
I've
seen
a
lot
of
things.
I've
seen
bit,
protests
I've
been
low,
bitter
I've
been
I've,
seen
a
lot
we're
a
little
better
on
this
job
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
your
Council
will
tell
you
that
there
was
an
opportunity
to
work
with
both
my
firm
and
and
Ballard
in
terms
of
of
basically
answering
questions
they
had
with
regard
to
our
bid.
Z
We
did
that
you
awarded
us
the
job
in
what
I
would
call
a
somewhat
unprecedented
situation.
The
disgruntled
second
place
bidder
filed
a
temporary
restraining
order,
okay,
which
we
have
have
was
quite
a
little
bit
off
guard
candidly,
that
the
Circuit
Court
heard
it
and
they
did
so
they
they
have
a
ruling
that
says
that
they
found
something
that
evanston's
staff
said
you
can
move
forward
with
this,
this
circuit
court
judge
says
no
I
got
a
problem
with
this
I
think
you
always
an
opportunity.
Z
I
think
you
should
want
to
owe
us
the
opportunity
to
remedy
that
I
can
remedy
that.
I
will
tell
you
tonight:
I
can
remedy
that.
What's
in
it
for
you,
it's
two
things,
one
or
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
low.
You
know
you,
you
are
all
officials
responsible
for
public
money,
I've
heard
talk
tonight
about
money
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
is
two
and
a
half
million
dollars.
Z
Z
We
took
you
seriously
and
said
this
is
important
and
we're
going
to
go
out
and
and
make
sure
that
the
bid
that
we
submit
meets
your
your
desire,
your
request,
the
disgruntled
second
place,
bidder
didn't
give
me
any
or
two
percent
or
half
percent
or
or
something
nominal
I
won't
comment
any
further
on
that
in
in
the
world
that
I
live
in,
which
is
building
Public
Works
I've
never
seen
go
around
the
low
guy
that
met
your
goal
to
the
second
place.
Guy
that
didn't
meet
your
goal.
Z
AA
I'd
like
to
thank
mayor
biss,
because
when
I
met
him,
he
was
campaigning.
He
told
me
that
he
would
be
held
accountable
and
so
far
he
has
worked
to
be
held
accountable,
I'm
73
years
old
I
was
born
here
in
Evanston.
At
one
time
there
were
four
generations
of
my
family.
I
am
the
last
one
left
because
of
no
affordable
housing.
AA
The
last
time
I
spoke
before
this
Council
was
in
215,
affordable
housing.
A
lot
of
the
people
have
died
since
then
we're
talking
about
reparations
of
25
thousand
dollars
for
people
to
fix
up
their
houses.
What
about
people
like
me,
I'm
73
years
old
I,
will
never
get
reparations.
What
about
giving
the
seniors
in
Evanston
that
are
over
a
certain
age,
five
thousand
dollars
cash
reparation?
Let
them
go
on
and
live
their
lives,
the
way
that
they
want
to
the
program.
The
way
it's
set
up
is
not
affordable,
the
abandoned
housing
on
Jackson
and
Emerson.
AA
AA
You
know
what
I'm
talking
about
Take
a
Ride
by
there
half
a
block
of
Emerson
from
Wesley
halfway
down
Jackson.
It
wouldn't
happen
in
any
other
Ward,
but
the
Fifth
Ward
thank
God
for
our
new
chief.
She
has
a
vested
interest
here
in
Evanston.
I,
do
not
like
being
policed
by
people
that
don't
live
in
the
community,
come
in
here
and
police
us
and
they're
taking
money
outside
of
the
community
or
make
it
a
make
a
housing
so
affordable
that
our
Police
Department
can
live
in
the
city
where
they
work
any
other
City.
AA
When
you
wrote
out
the
program
in
2002
under
JW,
Terry
emergency
assistance,
Services,
we
would
have
been
prepared
I.
This
is
the
first
pandemic
that
I
have
not
worked
because
I
retired,
when
I
met
fauci.
He
had
black
hair
I
am
73
years
old.
There's
a
Walgreens
right
here
at
2105,
Green
Bay.
Why
do
I
have
to
go
to
7500
North
Western
Avenue
to
get
a
modernist
shot
because
all
they
have
is
Pfizer?
You
did
not
give
Ike
any
money
for
this
pandemic.
AA
Every
program
that's
been
ran
in
the
city
as
far
as
vaccine
patients
came
from
the
CDC,
the
state
and
the
federal
government.
You
need
to
be
ashamed
of
yourselves.
You
really
do
you're,
making
promises,
you're
spending,
money
and
you're
not
doing
anything
for
the
people.
My
last
two
things
Gilbert
Park,
has
direct
access
from
Emerson
out
to
Jackson.
There
is
no
lighting.
There
is
drinking
there.
Every
weekend
drugging
there.
Every
weekend
there
is
no
Lighting
in
the
park
check
it
out.
My
fourth
is
one
moment
here:
fund
the
health
department.
AA
Don't
tell
me
I'm
at
risk
and
I'm
high
priority,
and
you
didn't
give
the
director
any
money
and
then
the
pandemic
hit,
and
we
got
caught
with
our
pants
down.
It's
embarrassing.
It's
embarrassing
and
everybody's
looking
at
the
City
of
Evanston.
Oh,
why
are
they
coming
up
here?
To
get
their
shots?
I
should
be
able
to
come
to
the
public
health
department
right
here
and
get
vaccinated
for
covid
and
it's
getting
ready
to
jump.
It's
getting
ready
to
jump.
AA
B
I
For
both
so
I
wanted
to
speak
for
public
comments
for
city
council
and
because
you
didn't
have
a
sheet
for
for
your
public
hearing.
I
asked
I
asked
Stephanie
where's
the
separate
sheet.
I
didn't
have
it.
B
Well,
you're
entitled
just
all
that
is
I,
think
factually
untrue,
but
you're
certainly
entitled
to
participate
in
public
comments.
You
have
three
minutes:
Mr
Friedman.
I
Thank
you
very
much.
So
first
I
want
to
apologize
for
my
Outburst
a
while
ago.
I
want
to
thank
Claire
Kelly
for
suggesting
that
we
postpone
the
hearing
or
continue
the
hearing
thanks.
Devon
I
want
to
thank
mayor
biss
for
last
week
saying
that
the
budget
needs
to
be
cut.
I
It
does
there's
just
way
way
way
too
much.
Spending
here,
like
I,
started
to
say
before,
but
I
can
say
it
a
little
more
calm
now,
I
I
don't
understand.
So
when
we
discuss
how
is
it
possible
that
we
have
15
million
dollars
in
our
debt
service?
We
have
500
000
in
debt
service
for
the
library.
How
is
it
possible
to
have
15
million
dollars
in
debt
service
for
the
year
of
2023,
I
mean
where
did
that
come
from?
I
We
only
have
200
200
million
at
three
three
million
a
year
where
the
15
million
come
from.
Why?
Why
do
we
have
1.7
million
for
a
crown
for
Crown
construction?
What
are
we
constructing
for
one
point,
1.7
million.
Is
it
for
Robert
Crown
I,
don't
understand
it,
there's
a
bunch
of
things
now
that
I
know
we're
continuing
I
can
I
can
talk
further
about
it.
I
B
B
AB
Hi
goody
good
evening,
can
you
hear
me
well
sure,
can
good
evening
mayor,
biss
and
the
city
council.
My
name
is
Stephen
Vick
I'm
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
infant
Welfare
Society
of
Evanston
and
we're
in
the
second
ward,
also
a
co-chair
of
the
Evanston
Early
Childhood
Council
I'm
speaking
tonight,
in
favor
of
the
Welcome
Center
at
Family.
AB
Focus
I
speak
to
you
as
an
organization
that
works
very
closely
with
hundreds
of
immigrant
and
Refugee
families
in
Evanston,
as
well
as
Skokie
and
Niles
I
believe
that
the
Welcome
Center
is
critical
to
support
for
multiple
reasons,
but
but
certainly
because
we
have
a
huge
growing
Latino
population,
certainly,
but
we
also
have
a
French
Creole
Haitian
Community.
We
have
a
growing
Arabic
community
Urdu
speaking
Community.
AB
AB
Our
organization
has
been
in
the
Fifth
Ward
for
over
25
years,
doing
early
childhood,
but
it's
a
true
Community,
Center
and
and
by
opening
the
doors
as
a
welcoming
Center
to
our
Refugee
immigrant
population,
we're
creating
the
resource
and
access
and
information
that
we
know
everyone
desires
and
needs.
AB
The
last
thing
we
want
to
do
in
Evanston
is
to
make
people
feel
more
isolated,
less
able
to
receive
Services
those
those
things
in
the
long
run,
cost
more
money
so
by
by
spending
the
money
on
the
on
the
Welcome,
Center
and
opening
doors
to
people
of
different
cultures,
different
backgrounds,
different
languages,
we're
going
to
wind
up
saving
money
in
the
long
room
for
services.
AB
I
also
want
to
mention
that
Family
Focus
has
been
doing
the
operation
of
Welcome
centers
across
the
Metropolitan
Chicago
area,
so
they're
very
well
suited
to
lead
this
project
and
I'm
just
very
hopeful
for
many
of
the
communities
community
members
that
we
serve,
that
they
will
be
able
to
have
the
access
to
this
Welcome
Center.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
AC
AC
B
F
Thank
you,
darling,
Cannon's,
second
ward,
I,
support,
sp1
and
F1
in
regards
to
the
animal
shelter,
I,
love
animals
and
I'm
planning
on
getting
another
dog
myself.
Perhaps
a
chocolate
lab
I
just
can't
support
spending,
7.5
million
dollars,
and
that's
and
that's
then
some
because
things
always
go
up
around
here,
I
like
to
see
how
we
can
build
a
facility
at
half
the
cost,
thus
lessening
the
burden
on
the
Edison
taxpayers,
I
like
to
see
a
vigorous
fostering
program.
F
Research
shows
that
animals
that
are
fostered
are
healthier
and
happier
in
homes
rather
than
cold,
isolated
cages.
We
have
many
people
in
this
community
who'd
love
to
have
a
pet,
but
can't
afford
the
maintenance
of
having
a
pet.
If
we
had
a
well-established
fostering
plan,
we
could
help
provide
many
of
our
residents
and
elderly
that
that
fix
income,
a
companion,
A14
and
I
know
it's
been
table,
but
we
need
we
need
and
deserve
a
better
resolution
to
defray
financial
burden
on
our
middle
and
low
income
residents.
F
When
sewer
Line's
work
is
needed.
Why
should
residents
be
bankrupt
by
sewer
repair?
That
is
not
that
the
sewer
lines
come
in
come
off
of
city
property
into
residential
homes.
Now,
how
is
the
time
when
we
should
use
a
lens
of
equity?
We
must
provide
a
degree
of
protection
for
our
residents
and,
lastly,
cut
the
budget.
Thank
you.
B
AD
For
this
city
manager,
Stowe
and
the
city
council,
two
quick
things:
first
of
all,
I
want
to
Echo
what
Darlene
just
said
about
60
63r22,
the
resolution
about
limiting
the
payment
of
citizens
to
fifteen
thousand
dollars
for
sewer
repair
if
they
earn
under
two
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
the
point
I
think
is
that
why
should
anyone
have
to
pay
that
many
other
cities
around
us,
including
Chicago
pay
for
such
sewer
repairs
themselves?
It's
also
not
as
though
the
owners
of
the
homes
are
responsible
for
the
deterioration
of
the
sewer
line.
AD
They
probably
had
little
or
nothing
to
do
with
that,
and
even
fifteen
thousand
dollars
for
someone
who
earns
less
than
200
000
a
year
is
a
huge
financial,
expense
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
fair
to
expose
our
residents
to
that,
and
once
again
as
Darlene
was
saying,
if
we
really
do
care
about
Equity,
if
we
really
do
care
about
keeping
a
variety
of
income
levels
in
the
city,
we
should
not
be
requiring
people
to
pay
such
a
huge
sum,
and
one
other
quick
thing.
I
want
to
mention.
AD
I
am
also
very
excited
about
the
Welcome
Center
I.
Think
it's
greatly
needed,
but
I
would
urge
a
Family
Focus
to
consider
working
with
a
wonderful
organization
Latinos
in
Evanston
North
Shore,
which
does
many
many
any
fantastic
programs
for
the
Spanish-speaking
community
zero
budget.
They
had
a
fantastic
Hispanic,
Heritage
Month
for
free
to
the
public.
AD
They
have
another
fantastic
day
of
the
dead
program
coming
up
on
October
29th
at
the
YMC
at
the
YMCA,
and
they
provide
many
of
the
things
that
I
believe
the
city
wants
to
provide
English
classes,
bilingual
book
clubs,
entrepreneur
programs
for
the
Latino
Community
a
golden
years
program
for
the
Latino
community.
So
again,
I
would
urge
Family
Focus
to
work
with
this
wonderful
organization
to
provide
more
of
these
programs
throughout
the
city.
Thank
you.
So
much.

I'm
Ali
Harnett
from
the
second
ward
good
evening,
honorable
everybody
and
I'm
speaking
tonight
in
support
of
the
Welcome
Center
I
think
that
it's
a
really
fantastic
idea.
AF
All
of
these
speakers
who
have
spoken
before,
and
especially
the
last
one
who
has
first-hand
experience
with
the
need
for
it,
I'm
a
social
worker
in
District
65,
and
we
have
families
that
are
arriving
all
the
time
from
all
over
the
world,
and
we
want
to
be
able
to
do
everything
that
we
can
to
welcome
them,
and
we
work
really
hard
to
try
to
partner
with
organizations.
Every
organization
in
town
is
stretched
really
thin.
AF
Every
organization
in
town
is
sincerely
working
so
hard
to
help
the
people
who
are
here
and
the
people
who
are
coming,
but
we
really
are
stretched
thin,
so
the
more
the
merrier
I
say:
bring
them
in
have
the
family
center,
the
Family
Focus,
welcoming
Center,
increase
the
available
resources
for
our
newcomers
to
Evanston
and
I
can
say
firsthand
that
they
already
have
been
helpful.
Even
though
they're
not
officially
working
with
us
Stephanie
helped
me
with
a
fan
family
that
was
arriving
from
Colombia
and
they
were
able
to
come
and
help.
AF
We
ended
up
finding
like
a
miraculous
housing
situation
for
this
family,
where
they
are
actually
not
paying
rent
and
they
are
housed
very
securely
and
beautifully,
but
Family
Focus
was
like
ready
to
to
help
as
much
as
they
could
even
before
you
all
vote
Yes
tonight,
which
I'm
sure
you're
going
to
do
so.
I
just
want
to
say,
vote
Yes
on
that
and
while
I
have
time
three
minutes.
This
is
great.
AF
I
also
want
to
do
an
additional
pitch
as
I've
done
many
times
that
we
really
need
more
affordable
housing
in
Evanston
for
these
families
that
are
arriving
in
Evanston,
but
also
for
the
families
that
want
to
stay
in
Evanston
and
have
are
having
a
really
hard
time,
maintaining
their
residence.
This
miraculous
housing
situation
that
we
found
the
solution
that
we
found
was
because
somebody
opened
their
heart
and
had
a
place
that
had
space
and
they
allowed
a
family
to
live
there
and
that's
a
really
beautiful
thing
and
I
have
a
feeling.
AF
There's
a
lot
more
opportunity
for
that
in
Evanston.
So
if
anybody's
watching
has
room
basement
an
apartment,
anything
coming
up
for
rent,
we
are
looking
for
tons
of
housing
for
District
65
families
and
my
emails
harnessed
at
District
65.net
I'm,
always
looking
for
housing
for
families.
So
please,
let
me
know:
I'd
really
like
to
find
more
housing
like
tomorrow.
AF
B
AG
You
good
evening
may
your
best
members
of
the
city
council
charity
begins
at
home
and
as
much
as
I'd
like
to
see
those
2.8
million
immigrants
who
have
come
to
America.
Where
was
The
Welcome
Center
with
the
southern
migration,
and
when
we
came
here
to
Evanston,
all
we
received
was
redlining
crowdedness.
We
now
can't
get
help
for
lead
pipes.
We
now
can
get
help
for
small
landlords.
AG
I
cannot
approve
of
any
money
going
to
these
projects
that
you're
thinking
about
contributing
to
this
evening,
like
a
Welcome
Center
money
for
Robert
Crown
to
me,
that
is
just
throwing
good
money
onto
bad.
Thank
you.
B
B
If
not,
perhaps
while
he
continues
to
try
Sonia
Herrera
in
the
zoom.
N
C
B
Well,
we
didn't
again
you're
entitled
to
speak
so
just
for
clarity's
purposes,
you
signed
up
Mr
vasilko
and
then
indicated
that
that
sign
up
was
meant
to
go
count
toward
the
budget
hearing.
In
any
case,
public
comment
continues
so
with
three
minutes:
Michael
silco.
N
Oh
geez
I
was
certainly
was
confused
about
the
process,
but
thank
you
so
I
I'm,
focusing
entirely
on
a
carp.
N
The
you
know,
I'm
90,
in
support
of
the
cart
presentation,
you're
about
to
receive
I'm
100
in
support
of
Kara
Pratt,
who
works
almost
independently
and
needs
a
lot
more
help
than
she's
getting
from
Council
a
lot
more
help
in
regards
to
funding.
You
know:
there's
there's
a
couple
of
million
dollars
at
most
scattered
about
a
million
of
which
is
for
a
pilot
program
referred
to
as
a
One-Stop
shop
for
funding
home
rehab
projects.
It's
a
pilot
program.
It's
it's
evolves.
N
An
audit
of
individuals,
homes,
some
homes
have
already
been
targeted.
Some
have
not
so
there's
a
little
bit
of
bureaucracy
about
it,
that
I'm
I'm,
really
not
a
fan
of
and
the
amount
of
money
is
minuscule
and
compared
to
the
entire
budget
or
compared
to
the
need.
I
should
say
the
other
thing
about
that
pilot
program.
N
I'm
not
I'm
uncomfortable
about
is
the
involvement
of
a
for-profit
contractor,
Evanston,
Development
Corporation
and
if
I
understand
correctly,
they
have
negotiated
or
are
negotiating
like
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
fee
for
for
their
group,
and
you
know,
plus
the
fact
that
they're
put
forward
as
a
contractor
for
any
of
these
projects,
so
I
I,
don't
know
how
that
happened.
N
I
I
love
the
fact
that
these
other
two
groups
are
involved
from
a
national
level
but
I'm
very
uncomfortable,
with
Evanston
development,
cooperative,
just
being
assigned
that
slot
as
the
main
contact
so
I've
been
advocating.
As
you
know,
for
like
25
million
dollars
a
year
for
a
program,
that's
much
simpler
in
the
way
it's
could
be
developed
by
circulated
my
information
to
you.
How
does
that
money
become
available
to
you
mentioned
during
the
other
public
comment
that
it
was
there's
at
least
100
million
dollars
of
programs
that
are
not
necessary
in
2023.
N
So
I
think
you
have
to
examine
what
is
really
a
necessary
project
to
spend
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
on
that
could
be
curtailed
or
put
put
off
for
a
year
or
two
15
seconds
devoted
to
devote
some
of
that
money.
A
quarter
of
that
hundred
thousand
dollar
100
million
dollars
to
some
form
a
different
form
of
Home
Improvements
that
relate
to
the
taking
out
fossil
fuel
for
heating
and
fossil
fuel
for
guests
in
your
automobiles.
B
Programs,
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
My
understanding
is
that
Matt
Rooney
has
now
been
able
to
unmute
himself
Mr
Rooney.
AH
Good
evening,
mayor
and
City
Council
Members
I
actually
put
myself
on
this
list
regarding
items
a17
and
18,
because
director
Thompson
said
she
might
want
me
to
field
some
questions
from
the
city
council.
If
there
are
any
questions
when
you
get
to
those
items,
so
I
I
really
have
nothing
to
say
other
than
I.
Would
ask
you
to
pass
those
two
resolutions,
which
canal
sure
supports.
Thank
you.
B
That's
cool
a
variety
of
people
signed
up
once
in
lieu
of
signing
up
twice.
All
of
you
who
are
in
that
situation
will
be
given
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
public
comment.
So
next
is
Tina
Paden
with
three
minutes.
M
The
city
is
not
responsible
or
held
to
the
same
standards
as
you're
trying
to
push
on
us.
This
is
not
fair
and
you're,
not
following
your
own
rules.
Black
lives
matter
all
the
time,
not
sometimes.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
That
concludes
public
comment
for
the
evening
and
we
now
move
to
special
orders
of
business,
of
which
there
is
one.
Would
someone
care
to
make
a
motion
regarding
item
sp1.
B
AJ
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
bis,
city
manager,
Stow,
clerk,
Mendoza
and
members
of
city
council.
My
name
is
Cara
Pratt
I'm
the
sustainability
and
resilience
coordinator
for
the
City
of
Evanston
this
evening,
I'll
be
presenting
our
2021
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
inventory
progress
to
date
on
our
2022
carp,
implementation,
action
agenda
and
plans
for
2023
and
Beyond.
AJ
Thank
you
so
we'll
get
started
right
with
progress
to
date.
Since
our
Baseline
year
of
2005.
community-wide
we've
reduced
our
carbon
footprint
by
just
over
38
percent
as
of
December
2021.
So
this
is
our
2021
greenhouse
gas
emissions
inventory
progress.
This
continued
decline
is
mostly
attributable
to
the
purchase
of
renewable
energy
certificates
or
rex,
on
behalf
of
all
accounts
eligible
for
Community
Choice
aggregation
in
the
City
of
Evanston
calculations
for
2021
also
demonstrated
a
steep
decline
in
the
impact
of
vehicle
miles
traveled
as
cmap
provided
data
using
an
updated
methodology
this
year.
AJ
AJ
AJ
While
the
previous
slide
may
look
like
good
news,
this
graph
paints
a
much
more
realistic
picture
factoring
out
the
purchase
of
renewable
energy
certificates
or
wrecks
community-wide
greenhouse
gas
emissions
would
have
actually
increased
by
two
percent
from
2020
to
2021.
That's
if
we
had
not
purchased
Rex,
the
purchase
of
Rex
has
been
a
much
needed
crutch,
allowing
us
to
make
significant
progress
towards
our
goals,
but
one
day
we
need
to
walk
without
this
crutch,
extrapolating
Trends
into
the
future.
AJ
One
thing
we
do
know
is
the
practice
of
purchasing
wrecks
cannot
continue
forever
in
order
to
eventually
achieve
Global.
Carbon
neutrality,
the
Evanston
community
and
other
privileged
entities
cannot
rely
on
third-party
renewable
energy
projects
to
meet
our
goals
and
must
invent
invest
in
projects
that
result
in
additionality
of
renewable
energy
locally.
AJ
AJ
The
Deep
decarbonization
needed
to
sustain
progress
and
to
keep
our
trend
lines
intact
is
significantly
more
expensive
than
the
projects
that
we've
been
investing
in,
like
purchasing
wrecks
that
we've
undertaken
so
far
now
I'd
like
to
briefly
transition
into
what
I
hope
is
a
thought-provoking
question
and
some
different
compelling
data.
So,
as
we
know,
the
world
is
changing
rapidly
and
I
wanted
to
ask
if
the
City
of
Evanston
is
a
barrier
or
a
catalyst
to
this
change.
AJ
You
can
see
that
we've
broken
records
in
the
past
couple
months,
breaking
the
600
kilowatt
Mark
and
the
800
kilowatt
Mark.
In
the
the
span
of
two
weeks,
we've
also
seen
a
considerable
short-term
increase
in
electric
vehicle
purchases
among
Evanston
residents.
If
we
don't
continue
to
innovate
and
offer
opportunities
for
EV
charging
to
Residents,
especially
to
those
without
access
to
a
garage,
the
city
may
be
a
barrier
to
the
change
residents
are
seeking
in
our
decision
making.
AJ
Let's
always
opt
to
be
a
catalyst
and
not
a
barrier
with
that,
let's
celebrate
some
of
our
biggest
catalyzing
wins
in
2022.
So
far
we
have
adopted
a
climate
emergency
resolution
allocated
arpa
funds
to
support
the
One-Stop
shop
previously
mentioned
for
affordable
housing.
Retrofits
adopted
code
updates,
including
bird
friendly
and
Green
Building
ordinances,
approved
a
new
commercial
franchise
agreement,
provided
a
textile
recycling
option
for
residential
units
and
allocated
arpa
funds
to
support
lead
pipe
replacement.
AJ
Ongoing
projects
this
year
include
our
Municipal
Fleet
right
sizing
and
electrification
plan,
our
accessible
solar
program,
developing
ordinances
for
reducing
single-use
bags,
the
storm
water,
Master
planning
process,
the
environmental
Equity
investigation,
planning
and
and
carp
implementation
dashboard
planning
still
on
our
Collective
to-do
list
for
2022
our
two
really
big
projects.
That's
issuing
a
request
for
proposal
to
finally
put
solar
on
the
roof
of
crown
and
updating
our
tree
preservation,
ordinance
to
expand
protection
of
private
trees.
AJ
Now
I'll
speed
through
our
plans
for
2023.
So
for
those
watching
what
is
highlighted
is
scheduled
for
quarter.
One
and
all
the
items
with
asterisks
are
contingent
upon
the
fiscal
year
2023
budget
passing,
as
is
So
within
Municipal
operations,
implementing
the
the
recommendations
of
our
municipal
Fleet,
right
sizing
and
electrification
plan,
which
would
include
both
charging
infrastructure
and
the
purchase
of
vehicles
in
2023.
AJ
We've
got
several
projects
related
to
waste
circularity
and
waste
management
within
our
Municipal
operations,
as
well
as
reducing
fluoride
use
in
Municipal,
snow
operations
and
continuing
our
street
light
LED
conversion
program
under
building's
efficiency.
We
have
a
plan
to
adopt
the
Illinois
stretch
code
once
it's
ready
and
available
to
us
and
also
begin
Outreach
efforts
on
building
performance
standards
and
banning
new
natural
gas
connections.
Eventually.
AJ
Under
renewable
energy,
we
plan
to
implement
the
accessible
solar
program
which
would
allow
low-income
residents
to,
for
the
first
time,
install
solar
on
their
roofs
with
support
from
the
city.
We'd
also
like
to
evaluate
Our,
Community,
Choice,
aggregation
and
Community
solar
contracts,
which
are
up
for
review
later
in
2023
under
transportation
and
Mobility,
install
public
EB
charging
stations,
Implement
our
micro,
Mobility,
electric
scooter
pilot
and
expand
bike
lanes
and
walkability
related
to
zero
waste.
AJ
Under
Urban,
canopy
and
green
spaces,
we
have
to
implement
tree
preservation
measures
like
I
mentioned
previously,
developed
the
parks
and
green
space
strategic
plan,
which
is
under
development
right
now,
complete
a
tree
inventory
and
generally
to
increase
the
number
of
trees
planted
compared
to
2022
numbers,
green
infrastructure.
We've
got
this
storm
water
master
plan,
that's
been
underway
for
several
months
and
we
hope
to
implement
those
recommendations
towards
the
end
of
2023
for
health
impacts
of
extreme
heat
and
emergency
preparedness.
AJ
As
you
all
know,
we
just
had
an
emergency
preparedness
fair
this
past
weekend,
which
was
very
successful
and
we
hope
to
continue
those
efforts
of
educating
residents
about
that
and
conducting
a
citizen
science
campaign
in
partnership
with
the
fire
department
in
Health
Department
under
resilience,
regulations
and
vulnerable
populations.
We
have
implementing
the
One-Stop
shop
for
affordable
housing
retrofits
that
I
hope
you
all
are
very
familiar
with.
AJ
And
then,
finally,
for
2023
plans,
we've
got
formalizing
our
community
engagement
policy,
so
that
residents
know
exactly
their
opportunities
for
public
engagement
and
how
they
can
lead
and
be
a
part
of
Change
in
city
government
also
for
implementation,
accountability
and
Partnerships.
You've
probably
heard
this
is
a
really
long
list
so
far,
and
so
one
of
the
biggest
priorities
is
hiring
a
resilient
building
specialist
and
community
outreach
specialist.
AJ
So
that's
all
planned
for
2023
with
a
couple
caveats
related
to
the
budget
and
then
my
final
slide
is
just
again
a
draft
three-year
implementation
plan,
which
these
are
quite
hard
to
do
with
a
lot
of
budget
uncertainties
and
Staffing
uncertainties.
But
generally,
we
would
like
to
really
scale
up
our
efforts
and
start
to
move
away
from
this
crutch
of
wrecks.
AJ
We
need
to
work
more
with
the
community
work
with
our
biggest
employers
and
try
to
find
more
opportunities
for
Synergy
and
collaboration
so
that
we
can
achieve
our
shared
goals
and
with
that
I
also
wanted
to
recognize
Brian
Zimmerman
Solid
Waste
coordinator
and
Matt
Cotter,
the
chair
of
the
carp
implementation
task
force
for
their
support
with
the
data.
Those
graphs
that
you
saw
is
a
reflection
of
hundreds
of
hours
of
work
from
everyone
over
several
years
to
come
up
with
that
and
now
I'll
entertain
any
questions
that
anyone
has.
O
O
Okay,
I
think
we've
had
this
similar
presentations
over
the
last
year
and
I
think
it
just
continues
to
be
a
wake-up
call
that
particularly
the
fact
that
when
you
take
out
renewable
energy
credits
that
our
emissions
have
gone
up.
O
A
part
of
the
you
know
the
Zeitgeist
and
everybody
Hoover.
We
got
to
do
something
about
climate
change
and
it's
not
just
posters
and
things
that
we
do
for
fun.
We've
got
to
start
changing
behavior
and
at
some
point
this
body
here
has
to
take
tough
votes
to
require
that
people
change
Behavior,
because
in
some
cases
that
is
the
only
way
that
people
will
actually
change
their
behavior
and
so
we've
we've
got
to
start
living
in
our
values
and
one
of
the
ways
that
we
ensure
that
people
do.
O
AI
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
and
thank
you
Kara
for
this
presentation
and
just
as
a
reminder.
This
presentation
in
October
is
what
we
had
said.
What
we
wanted
when
we
approved
the
climate
emergency
resolution
in
April
and
so
I
think
I
I
hope
that
we
get
on
a
regular
schedule
of
hearing
from
you
every
six
months.
So
look
forward
to
hearing
back
in
April
how
much
progress
we've
made.
AI
I
think
it
is
time
to
put
some
more
serious
resources
behind
this
initiative.
Climate
action
and
Evenson
goes
back
at
least
to
2008.,
when
the
council,
at
that
time,
unanimously
approved
the
first
version
of
a
climate
action
plan
in
Evanston.
The
council
in
2014
approved
the
second
version
of
a
climate
action
plan
and
the
council,
who
was
seated
in
2018,
approved
the
third
version.
This
carp
climate
action
and
resilience
plan,
so
we've
had
unanimous
votes
on
this
all
along.
AI
What
we
have
yet
to
do
is
really
give
devote
the
resources
to
making
the
series
progress
that
we
need
to
make
I
think
we
should
congratulate
ourselves
for
the
progress
we've
made
so
far,
even
if
it
was
with
racks
good
for
us,
but
that
was
low
hanging
fruit
work
is
going
to
get
harder
and
we're
not
going
to
get
to
where
we
need
to
go.
Unless
we
put
the
resources
behind
it,
so
I
would
say
why
are
we
only
adding
two
people
in
Kerry's
Department?
AI
We
should
be
adding
four
or
five
I'll
set
the
marker
a
little
bit
higher,
so
we
at
least
can
get
those
two
in
the
budget
for
you
for
next
year.
I'm
fully
supportive
of
that
a
couple
of
just
quite
quick
questions
on
some
particular
items:
the
solar
on
Robert
Crown.
What's
that
what's
our
timeline
on
that.
AJ
So
I'll
be
working
with
the
other
relevant
departments
to
develop
an
RFP
for
that
process.
There
have
been
many
many
internal
conversations
and
back
and
forth
about
just
Robert,
Crown
or
including
other
municipal
buildings,
and
we've
landed
on
starting
with
Robert
Crown
and
then
expanding
in
the
future
and.
AI
Once
we've
proved
the
model
out,
with
crown
it's
easier
to
replicate
at
the
at
the
next
set
of
buildings,
right
right
and
then
related
to
solar
on
on
on
rooftops,
there's
a
department
of
energy
Grant,
that's
available
for
cities
to
implement
some
software
to
facilitate
permitting
of
rooftop
solar
projects.
Is
that
something
that
we
might
want
to
consider
adding
to
our
2023
action
plan?
Or
is
that
bad
enough
more
than
we
need
to?
At
this
point.
AJ
AI
Before
I
yield
the
floor
emphasize
that
this
is
not
just
a
city
initiative,
the
city
has
a
leadership
role
to
play,
but
we
are
not
going
to
get
where
we
need
to
as
a
community
if
all
the
institutions
in
town
and
all
of
the
individuals
and
all
the
residents
in
town
are,
are
on
board
and
moving
in
the
same
direction.
So
there's
a
really
important
role
for
Community
groups
to
play,
whether
that's
citizens,
climate
Lobby,
who
we
heard
from
earlier,
or
citizens
Greener
Evanston.
AI
We
are
going
to
need
a
lot
of
Partners
as
we
pursue
this
work
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
staff
positions
you're
proposing
is
going
to
help
kind
of
facilitate
those
collaborations.
You
know
which
are
really
important,
as
we
you
know,
can
to
leverage
the
resources
that
already
exist
in
our
community.
So
thank
you.
G
Amazing
report
there
it's
it's
impressive,
how
much
we
have
been
able
to
accomplish,
and
the
fact
that
you're,
just
you
one
person,
I
mean
you've
had
staff.
Colleagues
who've
worked
with
you
on
a
number
of
these
issues,
but
putting
it
all
together
and
and
being
the
driving
forces.
What
you've
been
providing
and
we're
really
really
grateful.
I'm,
really
glad
that
we're
going
to
be
giving
you
at
least
two
new
staff
people
to
help
with
the
ambitious
plans
going
forward.
The
fact
that
we've
made
as
much
progress
as
we
have
is.
G
So,
as
my
council
member
newsman
just
mentioned,
it's
really
it's
not
just
up
to
us
on
the
city
council,
it's
up
to
the
other
or
organizations
in
the
community
and
up
to
individual
residents
who,
if
you
talk
to
our
residents,
they
they
agree.
You
know,
climate
change
is
really
happening.
It's
its
impacts
are
devastating
and
we
need
to
do
something.
G
So
we
just
we
need
to
help.
Everybody
needs
to
step
up
their
game
to
accomplish
the
things
that
you've
laid
out
for
us.
So
I'm,
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
you
and
looking
forward
to
your
next
update.
P
Yeah,
thank
you
Cara,
for
this
update,
and
this
is
this.
Next
time
is
more
so
to
The,
Wider
community
and
not
to
you.
You've
done
a
great
job
as
as
did
Kumar
really
talking
to
bringing
up
what
his
needs
are,
but
I
can't
speak
for
the
last
Administration
completely
and
maybe
the
council
members
who
were
were
there
then
can.
P
But
looking
at
this
list,
I'm
not
sure
there
was
a
single
thing
that
has
come
before
this
body
that
wasn't
approved
just
looking
at
this
list,
which
I
think
that's
a
good
indication
that
that
there
is
support
to
advance
this
work
and
I've
said
this
to
Advocates
both
in
this
space,
but
in
other
spaces
the
way
these
bodies
work.
P
You
have
to
get
something
get
something
in
front
of
us
that
we
can
react
to
and
vote
on,
and
if
we
don't
support
it,
then
I
think
that's
on
this
body,
but
again,
looking
at
this
list
and
there's
some
a
lot
of
the
some
of
this
stuff
goes
back.
I
think
before
This
this
term,
but
I
think
everything
we've
gotten
and
this
body
has
gotten
in
front
in
front
of
them.
It's
approved
even
the
wrecks,
probably
at
some
point,
came
up
as
a
as
a
discussion
that
the
council
approved.
So
you
just
you
know.
P
O
C
AJ
Foreign,
so
this
this
clarifies
that
between
2020
and
2021
we
increased
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
two
percent,
and
so
the
reductions
in
2021
have
to
do
mostly
with
the
purchase
of
Rex.
So
you
do
see
the
trend
line
over
time,
even
if
we
hadn't
purchased
rex,
that
was
this
red
line
indicates
so
red
is
imagining
looking
back
into
the
past,
like
we've,
never
bought
Rex
and
that
we
never
will.
So
we
would
never
really
meet
our
goals
if
that
had
been
past
practice.
AJ
So
it's
it's
a
Nuance
of
celebrating
that
at
the
time
those
were
the
best
decisions
to
make
was
to
purchase
wrecks,
but
we're
getting
to
the
time.
As
you
mentioned
council
member
Reed,
where
we
can't,
we
can't
in
good
faith,
do
that
and
celebrate
it
anymore.
It
was
the
right
decision
at
the
time,
but
we
know
better
now
and
we
know
that
we
can
do
different
things.
O
Yeah
thank
you
and
I'm
I'm
looking
for
Debbie
Downer
today,
but
I.
So
one
I'm
curious
the
two
new
positions
that
I
think
very
clear
that
this
body
is
going
to
support.
How
are
those
paid
for.
AJ
So
there's
a
new
Revenue
Source
through
the
newly
created
sustainability
fund
and
it's
a
combination
of
the
infrastructure
maintenance
fee
from
ComEd
from
the
Community
Choice
aggregation
program,
the
delta
or
the
money
that's
left
over
from
not
purchasing
Rex
and
from
the
wheel
tax
increase
of
five
dollars
per
wheel.
Tax.
O
So
I
just
want
to
note
that
we
can
increase
the
will
tax
even
more,
and
that
would
still
put
us
in
line
with
some
of
our
neighbors,
and
so
that
would
provide
even
more
funding.
I
know
the
county
has
moved
away
from
the
will
tax,
but
I.
Don't
think
that
I
think
in
part
that
it's
somewhat
disingenuous,
why
they've
said
they've
moved
away
from
it.
I
think
they've
moved
away
from
it
because
of
a
lawsuit
relating
to
infrastructure,
funding,
but
I
think
for
the
City
of
Evanston.
O
It
makes
sense
to
maybe
have
another
five
dollar
increase
and
put
us
in
line
with
some
of
our
neighbors
and
to
be
able
to
fund
more
of
this
work,
and
that's
some
of
that.
You
know
tough
decisions
that
we
have
to
make
to
to
put
up
or
shut
up
I
think
so
so
one
I
think
you
know,
staff
and
this
body
being
bold
with
the
proposals
that
we
put
forward
to
increase
funding
for
this
work
will
be
necessary
to
moving
beyond
the
wrecks
and
then.
O
O
That
way,
if
we
continue
that
practice
and
so
I've
again
asked
staff
to
be
even
Bolder
and
be
comfortable
to
be
even
Bolder
than
folks
have
been
in
the
past,
with
putting
forward
real
proposals
that
get
us
to
where
we
need
to
be,
even
if
they
seem
like
tough
decisions
that
the
community
may
not
be
enthusiastic
about
prior
to
some
real
education
on
the
issue.
B
Sorry
again,
no
one
is
requesting
to
speak
for
the
first
time,
so
we
go
back
to
councilmember
New
Smith,
with
a
minute
50
left.
AI
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
two
council
member
Burns
questioned
about
sources
of
a
read.
Sorry
about
your
your
question
about
sources
of
revenue.
Just
as
a
heads
up,
we
have
a
pending
referral
on
I'll
call
it
a
carbon
fee
at
this
point
details
yet
to
be
yet
to
be
worked
out
when
we
have
something
ready
to
share
that
will
come
to
come
to
committee
and
eventually
counsel,
because
we
do
need
to
be
looking
at
ways
to
to
do
more
work
and
find
sources
of
revenue
that
we
can
rely
on
going
forward.
AI
Not
just
our
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
grant
money
available
at
the
state
and
federal
level
that
we
could
bring
that
we
could
bring
in
here,
but
again,
that's
kind
of
hard
to
rely
on,
but
speaking
of
of
state
and
federal
level.
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that
Evanston
is
not
an
island
in
this
climate
action
we're.
AI
We
have
been
a
leader
and
I'd
like
us
to
continue
to
be
a
leader,
but
State
policy,
even
more
so
than
federal
policy,
is
really
allowing
us
to
advance
more
quickly
on
some
of
our
goals.
Then
we
would
have
been
able
to
even
a
few
years
ago.
You
know
due
to
some
Innovative
legislation
at
the
state
level.
So
we
do.
We
need
to
spend
25
million
dollars
on
climate
action
at
the
at
the
local
level.
AI
It'd
be
great
if
we
had
that
kind
of
money
to
spend
on
this,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
stuff
happening
at
with
the
state
funding
that
we
can
leverage-
and
you
know
I-
would
love
to
be
able
to
spend
somebody
else's
money
to
to
advance
these
objectives
rather
than
having
to
burden
false
solely
on
Evanston
taxpayers.
So
part
of
what
we
need
to
do
moving
forward
is
making
sure
that
we
are
tied
into
State
programs
and
also
Federal
programs
and
taking
advantage
of
those
funding
sources.
B
No
one
else
is
asking
to
speak,
so
I'll
just
make
a
few
really
quick
comments.
First
of
all,
thank
you
cara
for
this
presentation,
which
really
was
Illuminating
I,
think,
but
also
for
all
of
your
work
on
this
issue
as
a
one-woman
band,
which
is
you're
a
great
one-woman
band,
but
we'd
like
to
hear
a
trio
at
least
I
want
to
make
two
related
comments
really
for
myself
and
my
colleagues
on
the
subject
of
trade-offs.
B
The
first
is:
if
we
care
about
this
work,
to
the
extent
that
we
say
we
do
I
think
we
have
to
be
prepared
to
demonstrate
that,
in
the
trade-offs
that
we
make,
for
instance,
in
our
budget
I,
don't
think
we're
in
a
position
to
say
yes
to
everything-
probably
never,
certainly
not
this
year,
and
that
means
we
have
to
be
willing
to
say
no
to
other
things,
including
other
things
that
we
like
that
are
attractive
in
order
to
make
good
on
our
stated
values
and
really
important
values
in
the
area
of
climate
action
and
resilience.
B
The
second
thing
is
there:
if
we
make
those
trade-offs
properly,
we
give
care
of
the
tools
that
she
needs
to
do
her
job
that
will
still
leave
us
needing
to
make
more
decisions
with
more
trade-offs
in
them,
because
the
policy
choices
that
are
Downstream
from
this
moment
are,
as
have
been
said
by
everybody
up
here,
gonna,
ask
a
lot
of
people,
whether
it's,
whether
we're
talking
about
gas,
hookups
or
plastic
bags
or
trees
on
private
property
or
some
of
the
fees
that
have
been
described
in
this
informal
conversation,
there's
there's
there
are
hard
asks
coming
up
if
we're
going
to
get
to
where
we
need
to
go
on
this
issue,
and
so
I
would
just
urge
all
of
us
to
work
closely
with
Kara
I
think
we
know
how
this
this
place
operates,
that
if
something
kind
of
surprising
and
controversial
shows
up
here
without
us,
having
really
worked
through
it
talk
to
our
residents
about
it,
thought
about
what
the
needs
are
and
what
the
alternatives
are
and
what
the
trade-offs
look
like.
B
Then
it
gets
here
and
there's
a
freak
out
and
gets
held
up,
and
we
wait
a
month
or
two
months
or
forever
if
we
want
to
actually
get
to
yes
up
here
on
those
hard
choices
that
will
not
feel
unanimous
in
the
community.
We're
gonna
have
to
work
closely
with
you
along
the
way
before
the
item
reaches
this
Dice
and
I
know
you're
committed
to
doing
that
and
I
think
all
of
us
are
going
to
have
to
meet
you
halfway
and
do
that
work
together.
B
These
choices
will
get
harder
and
harder,
but
they're
just
going
to
get
more
and
more
important.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
everything
you
do.
B
C
B
B
B
And
Mr
Mayor:
can
we
please
barely
Amazon
bills
list
I'm?
Sorry,
what's
that
councilmember
Amazon
bill
list
item
8282
got
it!
Thank
you,
council,
member.
B
There's
always
a
thing
I'm
worse
at
reading
the
body
language
here,
people
are
looking
really
studious
and
I
can't
tell
if
they're
just
preparing
for
what's
coming
next
or
if
they're
feverishly
trying
to
find
something
else
to
pull
off
the
consent
agenda.
They're
going
to
go
with
column,
A
I
would
now
entertain
a
motion.
AI
B
D
AK
B
With
nine
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against
the
consent
agenda,
with
the
six
of
four
said,
removals
is
passed
now,
councilmember
Kelly.
Would
you
care
to
make
a
motion
on
item
A2.
B
D
Council
member
Kelly
hers,
council
member
when
councilmember
newsma,
aye
councilmember
Burns
council,
member
safforden,
I.
AE
B
With
eight
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against,
the
motion
carries
on
the
approval.
The
Harris
Amazon
credit
card
activity
is
approved.
This
brings
us
to
item
A4
councilmember
Kelly.
Would
you
create
a
make
a
motion
in
item
A4.
A
B
A
So
I
want
to
support
this
and
I
do
I,
just
and
again,
I'll
put
something
informally
about
this,
but
I
do
feel
that
we
need
to
have
a
coordinator
to
really
for
our
social
safety
net.
Services
I
think
that
we
really
need
to
ensure
Maximum
Impact
from
the
millions
of
dollars
we
spend
in
many
and
third
parties,
some
in-house
you
know
through
we
have
the
living
room.
We
have
connections
for
the
homeless,
I
could
go
on
around
Trilogy.
We
have
our
general
and
emergency
assistance
program.
We
have
cradle
to
Career.
A
We
have
my
city,
your
city,
internal
program,
we
just
I
mean
just
it
goes
on
the
and
so
I
really
think
in
order
for
us
to
ensure
accountability
and
impact
for
our
tax
dollars
that
that
we
really
should
look
at
having
a
coordinator
position
of
these
services
to
ensure
that
they
are
put
to
best
use
in
that
they're
being
accessed
to
to
you,
know,
access
to
their
maximum
and
otherwise
I
fear
that
there's
not
a
lot
of
accountability
and
control
and
and
being
able
to
ensure
that
when
we
allocate
funds
that
it's
not
being
repeated
somewhere
else,
so
I
would
like
to
see
that
happen.
R
Coordinator
positions
in
any
capacity
I
always
help
make
sure
the
work
gets
done
appropriately,
but
I
must
go
on
record
to
say
that
I've
heard
residents
say
that
in
Evanston
we
need
to
do
better
for
our
residents.
So
I
want
to
be
very
clear
that
I've
heard
that
and
shared
that
I've
heard
that
that
we're
giving
this
money,
but
that
we
just
need
to
pay
attention
to
our
residents
in
Evanston.
Thank
you.
D
Just
want
to
say
a
brief
comment
on
this,
because
I've
been
working
on
it
with
councilmember
Burns
and
Reed
hiragari's
news,
Mouse
and
many
of
the
council
members
up
here,
and
this
is
in
fact
a
program
that
will
allow
us
to
take
care
of
our
Evanston
residents
and
those
who
are
new.
Hopefully
we'll
bring
Services
we'll
be
talking
to
the
community
and
asking
everybody
in
the
community.
What
kind
of
services
they'd
like
to
see
on
this
Welcome
Center
and
they
will
all
be
able
to
access
it?
Do
we
need
somebody
there
to
do?
D
Snap
benefit
applications.
Ccap.
Do
we
need
someone
to
help
children
find
clothing?
The
community
will
be
able
to
guide
this,
and
this
is
a
great
way
to
share
resources
with
our
Refugee
communities.
Our
immigrant
communities
and
our
historically
underserved
black
community
here
in
Evanston
and
I,
look
forward
to
us
starting
to
do
that.
Sharing
funding
and
bringing
programs
where
we
can
all
mutually
benefit.
D
I
myself
benefited
a
lot
from
the
programs,
a
Family
Focus,
as
provided
and
I'm
here,
because
of
that
and
I'm
here,
because
of
family
focus
and
the
many
programs
that
they
house
there
from
their
team
baby
nursery
to
their
teen
girls,
teen
mothers,
programs
to
the
many
tutoring
services,
so
I
look
forward
to
Family
Focus
continuing
to
create
women
like
myself
and
young
men
who
are
strong.
So
hopefully
this
funding
will
help
to
do
that
for
all
of
our
community
service,
all
our
community
members.
Thank
you.
P
Clark
Mendoza,
may
my
point
is
that
these
are
Evanston
residents,
I
think
once
they
you
know
once
they
get
here
and,
and
you
know,
connect
with
our
community
and
and
whether
they
find
housing
or
not
once
they
get
here.
You
know
these
are
Evanston
residents
or
or
hopefuls
people
who
would
like
to
live
in
Evanston
and
and
and
lay
down
Roots.
P
Here,
there's
also
people
who
are
refugees
who
have
been
living
here
already
for
quite
a
while
that
this
will
also
serve
and
and
I
think
our
recent
refugees,
but
also
the
existing
ones
who
live
here
are,
is
another
constituency
which
I
hope
that
we
all
would
would
want
to
represent
and
ensure
they
have
the
resources
they
need
to
to
thrive
here.
P
What
I
did
want
to
give
Sarah
an
opportunity
to
talk
about
is
what
are
the
next
steps
after
this,
so
we
approved
this
tonight
and
then
then,
what
and
I
also
mentioned
that
the
at
the
last
meeting
that
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
know
we
listed
them
as
a
potential
partner
with
the
Haitian
Congress,
and
some
of
the
other
organizations
are
are
brought
in
I
would
have
liked
them
to
also
provide
letters
of
support
which
I,
don't
I
did
not
see
in
this
packet,
although
I
requested
it
at
the
last
meeting.
P
E
How
many
you
know
types
of
services,
they
get
all
that
sort
of
stuff
and
we
actually
have
a
pretty
robust
process
for
measuring
outcomes
on
all
of
our
grant
programs.
We
do
this.
The
social
services
committee
is
going
to
be
looking
at
outcomes,
for
example,
for
the
funding
the
CBG
and
the
Human
Services
funding
that
we
give
out
every
year
and
the
Committees
review
that
and
they
look
at
are
this.
You
know
these
meeting
the
needs.
Are
they
meeting
their
goals?
And
things
like
that?
E
So
we
really
have
a
pretty
robust
process
for
managing
grants
that
we
give
out
to
other
organizations.
I
think
there
is
really
quite
a
bit
of
accountability.
E
Family
Focus
has
that
experience
as
a
regular
grantee
right
now,
they're
one
of
our
major
providers
of
Case
Management
Services
for
everybody
in
our
structure,
where
we
have
case
management,
robust
Case,
Management
Services
that
are
specifically
designed
to
help
people
who
have
the
greatest
and
most
complex
complex
needs
access
services,
because
it's
really
hard
to
do
it
on
their
own,
just
going
for
every
single
place
to
find
what
they
need,
and
the
welcoming
Center
does
that
for
our
non-native,
English
speaking
residents
and
that's
what
it
really
just
dovetails
in
with
our
current
strategy
and
our
way
of
giving
out
money
to
try
to
help
our
residents
most
in
need.
E
E
Are
the
next
steps
they
are
working
on
getting
all
this
set
up
and
they
they
are
going
to
open
as
close
to
January.
First,
as
the
welcoming
Center
as
they
can
be,
and-
and
you
know,
that's-
we've
been
working
on
this
for
a
while,
but
there
you
know
they
run
three
of
these
they're,
not
new.
At
this,
they
run
three
different.
Welcoming
centers
they've
been
one
of
the
initial
welcoming
Center
providers
for
the
state
of
Illinois,
so
they
they
know
their
stuff
on
this.
So.
W
P
E
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
yeah
they're,
reaching
out
actively
to
figure
out
which
groups
are
you
know
which
immigrant
groups
are
most
active
and
most
in
need,
and
they
also
work
with
other
groups
that
serve
different
immigrant
groups.
That's
something
that
all
the
different
welcome
Centers.
Do
they
work
together
because
nobody
can
provide
all
the
services
for
everybody
that
is
knee
are
needed,
and
so
they
work
with
the
other
welcoming
centers.
E
AK
AK
You
know
it's
hard
enough
to,
if
you're
a
native
English
speaker
to
know
where
to
get
all
your
services
and
also
where
to
go
to
get
help
and
having
kind
of
this
one
one
place
for
them
to
go.
That's
welcoming
and
able
to
you
know,
get
them
in
touch
with
all
the
other
agencies.
I
think
is
so
important.
B
A
A
B
Council
member
Kelly
moves
approval
of
contract
with
serpentry
Consortium
council
member
new
Smith
seconds
there
any
beginning
discussion
with
council
member
Harris.
R
So
it's
been
a
month
not
saying
anything
and
I'm
saying
everything
tonight
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
attended
the
wonderful
day
to
walk
the
other
day,
and
there
was
great
discussion
about
tree
canopies
and
about
the
Fifth
Ward
not
having
enough
trees
and
that
of
being
one
of
the
hottest
Wards
in
the
area.
I
grew
up
in
the
Fifth
Ward
and
never
thought
about
how
hot
it
was
until
that
information,
so
I
just
wanted
to
know.
AL
Good
evening,
mayor
biss,
members
of
the
council,
clerk
Mendoza
city
manager
Stowe
to
answer
your
question.
Yes,
we
do
have
somewhat
of
a
list
right
now
of
where
these
trees
are
going
to
go,
we're
going
to
replace
the
trees
that
we've
taken
down,
whether
by
storm
damage
or
just
some
kind
of
unsafe
concern
to
the
public.
AL
We
understand-
and
we
know
that
the
Fifth
Ward,
along
with
the
second
ward,
do
seem
to
be
like
in
a
little
bit
of
tree
canopy
there
we
do
face
some
challenges
as
far
as
restricted
Parkway
with,
but
we
do
have
a
plan.
We
do
have
a
plan
that
we're
going
to
try
to
do
the
best
that
we
can
in
public
land
to
be
able
to
plant
those
trees
and
encourage
homeowners,
which
have
a
lot
of
or
more
available
planting
sites
to
to
encourage
them
to
put
plant
trees
in
their
sites
as
well.
R
AL
O
Reed
I'll
just
add
my
voice.
I'd
also
love
to
see
that
map
I
think
the
eighth
would
actually
in
in.
Maybe
this
one
case
does
have
compared
to
some
other
words
pretty
decent
canopy
coverage,
I'd
love
to
see
more
along
Howard
Street,
but
so
I
I
I'd
love
to
see
that
map.
So
thank
you,
councilmember
Harris,
for
asking
for
that
and
for
keeping
Equity
at
the
Forefront
here.
O
Purchase
of
trees
and
planting
Services,
I
I
also
would
love
to
see
us.
You
know,
as
we
go
out
for
this
next
year
and
as
your
team
is
maintaining
our
our
City's
infrastructure,
generally
look
toward
more
native
planting
plantings,
whether
the
trees
be
native
or
the
other
plantings
that
accompany
the
trees.
Just
really
love
to
see
more
native
attention
to
native
plants
and
trees.
X
O
Then
that's
it
for
now.
Thank
you.
B
A
B
A
I
only
pulled
this
because
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
I
said
in
APW
that
in
an
instance
like
this
I
would
really
expect
to
see
our
local
firms
who
can
handle
this
job
reached
out
to
these
were
phone
calls
to
get
some
pricing,
so
I
just
asked
that
going
forward
that
we
always
consider
local
local
companies
that
could
do
these
jobs
and
we
have
several
in
town
that
could
also
do
these
so
not
saying
they
would
necessarily
get
you
know,
get
it
based
on
pricing,
but
they
might,
and
so
I'm
gonna.
A
Please
encourage
staff
to
always
one
possible
reach
out
to
local
her
local
companies.
Thank
you.
O
Yeah
I
move
item
H1,
which
is
a
resolution
68r22
authorized
and
city
manager
to
execute
an
agreement
with
leap
concerning
the
reimagining,
Public,
Safety,
Committee
and
low
priority.
9-1-1
calls.
AK
B
P
Yeah
I
wanted
to
hold
this
probably
to
the
next
meeting
I've
been
meeting
with
chief
steward
Chief
Paula
director
ogbo,
there's
a
few
different
programs
being
considered
and
I.
Think
at
this
point,
more
confusion
than
Clarity
and
and
and
so
as
we
seek
to
find
some
common
ground.
I
want
to
hold
this,
so
we
can
continue
to
meet
second
to
ground
next
pass
councilmember.
O
Yeah
just
going
to
announce
the
council
or
at
council

then

My

We'll

All

So
that's
third
and
fourth
ward
residents,
November

7
P.M,
Robert
Crown
and
then
my
I
want
to
announce
my
next
office
hours
are
Thursday
November
3rd
as
usual
at
Brothers
K
from
7
30
till
10
A.M.
B
AM
B
AI
You
Mr
Mayor
just
reiterating
the
fourth
ward
meeting,
combined
with
the
Third
Ward
Tuesday
November,
1st
7
p.m.
At
Robert,
Crown
primarily
focused
on
the
budget.
Fourth
Ward
office
hours
will
be
Saturday,
November
12th,
in
a
break
with
routine
we're
not
going
to
be
meeting
at
a
coffee
shop.
We
will
instead
be
meeting
at
the
Evanston
made
pop-up,
which
is
at
832
Dempster,
Street,
local
art
installations,
where
the
Lapin
computer
store
used
to
be
also
I.
AI
P
You
know
before
our
meeting
this
Thursday
last
Thursday
of
the
month
every
month,
so
please
mark
your
calendar,
but
we
have
another
another
one.
Coming
up,
this
Thursday
we're
going
to
be
talking
budget
and
Zoning
with
joining
forces
for
affordable
housing,
and
it
also
quickly
just
wanted
to
respond
to
some
concerns
about
What.
P
P
We've
canvassed
the
area
about
it,
they're
also
going
through
the
the
land
use
commission
process,
which
is
allows
for
a
public
hearing
for
committee
members
to
come
in
and
make
comment
and
and
we'll
continue
to
do,
meetings
around
the
the
hodc
development
on
church
and
Daryl,
Jackson
and
Emerson.
We
do
not
own
the
property,
yet
we
are
still
going
through.
Closing
I
talked
to
corporate
our
Corporation
Council,
who
thinks
that
should
be
finished
in
about
two
to
two
or
three
weeks.
P
Once
we
actually
own
the
property,
then
we
can
start
the
community
engagement
process
around
determining
what
to
do
with
it:
West,
Evans
and
overlay.
As
I
said
earlier,
this
was
not
we
weren't.
We
didn't
discuss
it
at
the
planning
and
development
meeting
to
modify
or
change
anything
that
will
happen
through
the
comprehensive
process.
P
Comprehensive
planning
process,
which
is
a
multi-year
effort
that
will
I'm
sure,
will
allow
for
as
much
Community
engagement
as
folks
can
tolerate
hovland.
We
just
I
think
at
the
last
one
of
our
last
meetings
authorized.
The
city
managers
execute
the
contracts,
so
we're
not
even
close
to
owning
that
property,
but
when
again,
when
we
own
it
before,
we
do
anything
we'll
we'll
go
out
and
talk
to
the
community
about
what
they
would
like
to
see
there
and
then
Fleetwood
we're
actually
working
with
hirings
right
now.
P
This
Council
authorized
us
to
move
forward
with
hirings
or
Community
engagement
firm
to
talk
about
Fleetwood
as
well
as
gives
Morrison
with
the
community.
I
had
a
meeting
with
him
earlier
today,
we're
working
on
developing
focus
groups
and
working
on
the
survey,
questions
and
a
nice
Community
dinner
to
get
feedback
and
a
whole
whole
bunch
of
really
exciting
things
that
I'll
the
community
will
know
more
about
soon.
So
just
wanted
to
go
over
those,
and
that's
all
that.
G
Well,
first
I'd
like
to
give
a
shout
out
to
our
fire
department
for
this
wildly
successful
emergency
preparedness,
fair
at
Robert
Crown
last
weekend.
Really,
you
know
lots
and
lots
of
people.
It
was
more
than
our
fire
department
who
were
there,
though
too
we
had
other
staff
members
tabling
and
talk
educating
residents
about
all
kinds
of
City
programs.
G
I
can
vouch
for
the
CPR
training
course.
It
was
really
good,
so
I
next
time,
that's
offered
I
really
encourage
everybody
to
do
that.
I
hope
I
never
have
to
use
it,
but
just
it
helps
to
be
helps
to
be
prepared.
So
you've
heard
about
on
November
1st,
which
is
sixth,
seventh
and
9th
Ward
budget
meeting
and
then
on.
G
What
are
the
what
are
going
to
be
the
zoning
and
other
amendments
and
code
amendments
that
the
university
is
going
to
be
seeking
from
the
City
and
and
what
what
are
going
to
be
the
opportunities
for
residents
to
be
able
to
comment
and
provide
input
for
those
decisions.
So
that's
the
the
first
of
those
special
topic
meetings
on
November
3rd
