A
Thank
you
good
evening.
The
december
20th
special
meeting
of
the
evanston
city
council
will
come
to
order.
Will
the
clerk
please
call
the
rule.
B
C
A
B
Sorry,
I
did
not
see
you
thank
you
for
that
mayor.
A
You
seven
members
being
present,
we
have
a
quorum
and
are
ready
to
do
our
work.
I
wanna.
So.
The
first
item
is
my
public
announcements.
Proclamations,
I'm
just
gonna
start
by
requesting
everyone's
indulgence.
As
I
share
my
first
remote
meeting,
I
can
guarantee
you
that
I'm
not
going
to
be
very
good
at
this,
but
I
will
do
my
best
and
I
think
we'll
all
just
need
to
work
together
to
figure
out
how
to
how
to
manage
this.
A
This
this
format
just
a
few
quick
things.
First
of
all,
no
one
needs
me
to
announce
that
there
were
two
loaded
firearms
recovered
at
eths
on
thursday.
A
First
of
all,
that
was
a
very
difficult,
traumatic
moment
for
a
lot
of
people
in
our
community,
and
I
wanted
to
name
and
acknowledge
that.
A
Second
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
our
police
department,
which
did
an
extraordinary
and
professional
job
and
ensuring
that
everyone's
kept
safe
in
a
very,
very
difficult
circumstance,
so
great
work
and
thank
you
to
them.
And
finally,
I
just
think
it
really
underscores
the
importance
of
the
conversation
that
we're
having
tonight.
A
A
So
I
appreciate
that
we're
having
this
conversation,
I
appreciate
the
work
that
staff
has
put
in
to
prepare
for
tonight
and
I
I
I
look
forward
to
us
all
coming
together
to
do
what
we
can
on
this.
This
critical
issue-
I
next
want
to
just
it's
obvious,
given
the
fact
that
we're
meeting
remotely
but
the
the
proving
case
numbers
in
town
are
not
great.
They're
they're
higher
than
they've
been
and.
A
Rising
quickly-
and
I
just
wanna-
urge
everyone
to
take
appropriate
precautions,
where
this
meeting
being
remote
is
one
precaution
that
we're
taking
on
the
city
level
and
regular
discussion
with
our
director
of
health
and
human
services
I'll
go
about
what
else
we
may
need
to
do
as
a
city,
and
I
just
want
to
ask
that
everyone
be
careful
and
thoughtful
and
vigilant,
but
also
not
panic
because
of
the
quality
of
the
vaccines.
A
The
great
majority
of
the
cases
that
are
occurring
are
not
enormously
serious,
and
so,
as
the
case
numbers
are
so
high
and
as
the
new
omicron
variant
has
reached
suburban
county
and
is
extraordinarily
transmissible,
I
would
just
say:
get
your
vaccine.
Anyone
who's
eligible
for
the
vaccine
and
hasn't
yet
had
it
please
be
vaccinated
for
those
of
you
who
have
someone
in
your
life
who
has
not
yet
been
vaccinated.
Now
is
the
time
and
for
those
who
have
not
yet
been
boosted
but
are
eligible.
Now
is
the
time
for
that
as
well.
A
It's
going
to
be
critical
as
we
figure
out
how
to
how
to
get
through
this.
The
last
item
from
my
announcements
is
that
I'm
very
pleased
to
announce
a
gift
of
800
000
given
by
northwestern
to
the
city,
to
enable
us
to
purchase
a
new
fire
engine.
This
is
something
that
we
need,
and
it's
really
really
critical,
that
we
do
it
and
enormously
enormously
helpful
for
our
ability
to
do
it
in
a
fiscally
responsible
way.
A
The
northwestern
I
was
willing
to
step
up
and
make
this
contribution,
so
I
want
to
express
my
gratitude
and
appreciation
to
president
shapiro
to
dave
davis,
who
obviously
has
been
you
know,
working
diligently
to
make
sure
that
we're
collaborating
on
these
important
issues,
including
public
safety,
and
just
say
that
you
know
this
is
an
example
of
how
the
city
and
the
university
can
work
together
to
ensure
that
we're
finding
mutually
beneficial
ways
to
advance
the
cause
of
our
shared
constituents.
A
I
look
forward
to
a
lot
more
a
lot
more
like
that
and
simply
want
to
again
express
my
appreciation
to
northwestern
for
for
this
really
important
step
with
that,
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
dave
stoneback.
We
have.
A
Sorry,
so
I'm
all
right.
So
let
me
let
me
first
turn
over
to
dave
stone
back
kelly.
Gandursky
is
ill
and
personally
we're
all
pushing
her
very
quick
recovery,
and
so,
in
her
place,
acting
interim
deputy
city
manager,
dave
stoneback
is
acting
tonight
as
city
manager
and
we'll
make
the
city
manager's
public
announcements.
G
Good
evening,
mayor
and
members
of
council,
actually,
I
would
like
to
turn
it
over
to
luke
stowe,
our
cio
and
director
of
administrative
services,
to
talk
about
the
what
works.
City's
silver
designation
board.
E
Luke,
thank
you
interim
city,
interim
deputy
city
manager,
stoneback
good
evening,
mayor
members
of
the
city
council,
clark,
mendoza,
luke,
stout
director
of
administrative
services
and
chief
information
officer,
I'm
here
virtually
tonight
to
share
great
news
that
the
city
of
evanston
has
become
the
smallest
city
and
the
first
city
under
population,
one
hundred
thousand
in
the
country
to
secure
what
works
city
certification,
bloomberg
philanthropy's.
What
work
city
certification
is
the
national
gold
standard
in
recognizing
cities
that
use
data
and
evidence
to
improve
residents
lives.
E
We
started
this
journey
about
four
years
ago
and
dozens
of
staff
members
across
all
city
departments
made
contributions.
The
bloomberg
team
was
especially
impressed
with
our
my
city,
your
city,
our
city
initiative,
our
covent
case
and
vaccinations
data
dashboards
and
the
epd
data
transparency
hub
in
particular.
This
award
would
not
have
been
possible
without
the
leadership,
perseverance
and
tenacity
of
two
former
employees,
digital
services,
specialist,
hillary
biata
and
icma
fellow
shanica
hohenkirk.
I'd
like
to
ask
I'd
like
to
ask
hillary
to
share
a
few
words
followed
by
shanika.
I
H
And
I
just
I'm
so
excited
that
we're
here
at
this
moment
tonight
you
know
being
part
of
these
efforts.
Since
the
beginning,
it's
been
incredible
to
see
how
staff
embraced
and
had
an
interest
and
curiosity
in
using
these
practices
and
being
able
to
see
how
they
apply
to
evanston,
but
also
highlight
what
we're
already
doing,
and
you
know
when
I
left
I
was
I
was
hopeful.
H
J
Thank
you,
hillary
and
congratulations
city
of
evanston,
it's
good
to
see
some
familiar
faces
and
for
those
who
do
not
know
who
I
am.
I
am
sheikah
owenker
as
previously
stated,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
hillary
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
work
on
this
initiative.
J
I
had
no
clue
what
I
was
doing,
so
I
appreciate
you
being
available
for
all
the
questions
that
I
had
along
with
amazing
colleagues
along
the
way
who
have
contributed
great
data,
great
research
and
information
so
kudos
to
all
of
you.
Congratulations.
J
So
congrats
and
thank
you
hillary
for
you-
know,
bringing
it
to
the
platform
and
allowing
the
city
of
evanston
to
even
have
this
honor.
E
A
Thank
you,
congratulations
to
everybody
in
the
great
work,
and
you
know
I
think
it's
it's
an
important
recognition
of
how
we're
handling
these
critical
issues,
especially
in
this
difficult
time.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
our
our
staff,
current
and
former
for
the
work
they
put
in
to
enable
this,
and
I
just
look
forward
to
us
building
on
this
achievement
before
we
move
on
council
member
reed.
K
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
the
great
work
of
both
hillary
and
shanika.
So
thank
you
both
for
your
contributions.
I
got
to
meet
and
work
with
hillary
during
my
time
as
clerk,
and
it
is
sad
that
and
shanika
of
course,
is
during
my
time
as
clerk
and
alderman,
and
it
is
sad
that
we
are
saying
both
of
your
former
employees.
You
know,
but
so,
but
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
contributed
to
the
city.
This
is
a
great
project
and
particularly
hillary.
A
Thank
you
and
could
not
agree
more
on
all
fronts.
So
thanks
thanks,
especially
to
both
of
you
before
we
go
on.
I
should
say
something
that
I
probably
should
have
said
at
the
very
top
to
allow
us
to
do
this
remotely
as
the
result
of
an
executive
order
issued
by
governor
jb
pritzker
suspending
in-person
attendance
requirements
for
public
meetings,
city
council,
members
and
city
staff
will
be
participating
in
this
meeting
remotely
due
to
public
health
concerns.
Residents
will
not
be
able
to
provide
public
comment
in
person
at
the
meeting.
A
Those
wishing
to
make
public
comments
at
the
city
council
meeting
may
submit
written
comments
in
advance
or
sign
up
to
provide
public
comment
by
phone
or
video
during
the
meeting
by
completing
the
city.
Clerk's
clerk,
the
city
clerk's
office's
online
form
at
city
of
events,
dot,
org,
slash,
government,
slash,
city
dash
clerk,
slash
public
dash
comment,
dash
sign
dash
up
and
because
this
decision
was
made
relatively
recently
owing
to
the
recent
uptick
in
the
case
numbers.
Some
people
had
already
signed
up
to
give
public
comment
in
person
when
that
change
was
made.
A
My
understandings
they've
all
been
sent
emails
of
the
zoom
link
and
are
prepared
to
give
public
comment
via
zoom
tonight.
I
also
want
to
make
an
additional
point.
Just
forgive
me
for
returning
to
my
my
previous
comments
that
the
the
relationship
between
the
city
of
evanston
and
northwestern
university
is
is
complex
and
it's
a.
A
Pivotal
discussion
point
for
our
city
council
because
of
the
central
role
that
the
university
plays
in
this
community.
In
so
many
ways
and
many
good
and
some
challenging-
and
you
know
we-
we
had
an
election
recently
where
this
topic
was
was
very
much
on
a
lot
of
folks
minds
and
there's.
A
One
person
I
really
want
to
want
to
call
out
has
been
really
central
to
these
discussions,
even
since,
before
she
was
elected
and,
and
certainly
since,
whose
council,
member
kelly,
who
you
know,
has
really
been
dogged
and
sitting
down
and
trying
to
find
ways
to
ensure
that
the
city
and
northwestern
are
working
together
in
a
way
that
is
benefiting
all
parties
benefiting
the
residents,
the
students,
the
faculty
and
the
taxpayers,
and
the
research
and
community
engagement
that
she
did
around
this
issue.
A
I
think,
had
a
central
central
role
in
the
negotiation
that
led
to
the
800
000
contribution
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
So
I
think
it's
important
to
to
thank
her
for
that
as
well
and
to
to
lay
that
out
as
a
model
for
for
the
kind
of
community-driven
process
that
will
achieve
success.
That's
beneficial
against
all
parties.
So,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
council,
member,
for
that
and
now
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
clerk
mendoza
for
communications
from
the
city.
B
I
just
wanted
to
let
everyone
know
that
soon,
we'll
have
a
form
for
those
wanting
to
participate.
In
our
panel
to
interview
the
next
city
manager,
our
council
members
will
receive
that
form
and,
as
we
set
more
details
about
the
lottery
to
have
people
in
the
community
selected
randomly
we
will
put
those
out,
and
I
also
wanted
to
make
sure
the
mayor
knows.
I
believe
we
do
have
to
do
suspension
of
the
rules
to
participate
remotely,
and
I
can
email
someone
that
language.
A
Everybody
nodding
us
thank
you
clerk
and
again
I
apologize
to
my
first,
my
first
rodeo
of
this
type,
but
I
would
like
us
to
do
that
before
public
comment.
I
think
it's
important
that
we
just
handle
things
properly.
So
let
me
just
quickly.
M
Mister
smear
I
just
want
to
make
a
really
brief
comment
or
a
follow-up
to
your
mayor's
announcements
before
we
start
public
comments.
Go
ahead.
Council
number.
I
appreciate
that.
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
special
shout
out.
I
see
that
he
is
on
the
zoom.
I
know
that
you
would
acknowledge
our
police
department
if
I
could
just
acknowledge
the
wonderful
work
of
sro
loy
spells.
M
I
don't
have
all
the
details
and
I
know
we're
still
working
on
the
current
case,
but
I
just
wanted
to
give
him
a
shout
out
for
his
on-the-spot
thinking
and
ability
to
minimize
what
could
have
been
a
much
more
difficult
situation,
as
well
as
for
the
sro's
partnership
with
the
staff,
as
well
as
the
teachers
to
keep
our
most
precious
assets
and
those
are
our
future
leaders
at
the
high
school.
I
also
wanted
to
acknowledge
chief
farms,
deputy
chief
judy
wright.
I
understood
that
he
was
on
the
command
scene.
M
It
is
you
did
all
the
evanston
police
department
staff
that
work
closely
with
our
high
school
security
to
manage
this
situation
last
thursday.
Thank
you
very
much,
sir.
A
Thank
you
councilmember
for
that
and
now
I
believe
council
member
newsma
is
recognized
for
emotion,.
C

we're

which
is
good

20
minutes.
Thank
you,
everyone
for
your
again,
your
intelligence.
So
this
brings
us
to
public
comment
today.
Obviously
public
comment
will
all
be
remote.
A
O
Thank
you,
sir
good
evening,
mayor
this
and
to
the
city,
council
and
city
clerk.
At
the
last
fifth
ward
meeting,
I
stated
that
I
was
holding
alderman
burns
reed,
brethwaite
and
ravel,
because
she
was
there
personally
responsible
for
getting
the
city
to
really
work
on
this
issue
of
violence.
Its
current
issue,
I'm
here
tonight,
because
I
want
to
include
the
rest
of
you,
the
remainder
of
the
council
and
uses,
and
you
too
mayor.
Yes,
violence
and
youth
in
our
community.
O
It's
not
new,
especially
for
people
who
look
like
me
in
the
past,
and
this
was
bef.
While
I
was
director
of
family
focus
and
while
I
served
12
years
on
the
council,
we
have
all
worked
collaboratively
together.
O
O
Okay
begin
to
meet,
and
after
several
months
of
meeting
there
was
a
community-wide
meeting
held
at
fleetwood.
O
The
mission
of
that
meeting
was
uniting
resources
to
help
develop
and
support
productive,
skilled
community
contributing
black
youth
and
families.
This
was
the
founding
event
of
the
evanston
youth
initiative.
O
The
proposal
before
you
tonight
speaks
of
a
holistic
program
and
approach.
This
includes
the
families,
the
youth
and
the
community
that
they
live
in.
O
It
addresses
the
obstacles
of
housing,
employment,
lack
of
opportunity,
counseling
trauma
that
goes
unattended
and
lots
of
really
focused
on
primary
prevention
issues
in
2006,
2006
was
sort
of
the
beginning.
For
me
in
terms
of
how
we
really
began
to
highlight
violence
in
this
community,
however,
there
were
some
other
important
millstones.
O
I
want
to
mention
that
in
2007
the
city
had
sheila
mccorkle,
who
was
an
intern
working
in
the
city,
manager's
office,
and
she
developed
all
the
background
for
the
youth
and
young
adult
division
and
in
2007
also
actually
show
started
in
2006
to
work
on
it.
Saul
anderson
was
hired,
as
the
first
director
was
only
saw
in
a
very
small
budget.
If
I
remember,
I
can't
remember
the
exact
amount,
but
it
was
only
him
and
still
we
continued
to
have
violence
in
our
community
and
and
murders.
O
That
was
really
very
upsetting
in
2010
when
we
had
six
deaths
and
we,
the
community
started,
praying
and
I'm
seeing
the
faith
community
that
that
time,
pastor
williams,
emmitt
williams
at
springfield
was
new
pastor
in
town,
and
he
said
well
we're
going
to
pray
every
single
day.
I
think
kept
that
up
for
two
years,
every
corner
in
the
fifth
ward
was
prayed
on
every
saturday
morning,
rain
or
shy,
and
in
2014
when
mayor,
tisdale
and
pastor
at
that
time.
O
The
interim
pastor
at
second
baptist
avery
called
a
city-wide
meeting
and
asked
every
sector
in
the
community.
What
they
could
do
out
of.
That
came
was
the
creation
of
evanston
on
it,
and
I
think
I'm
also
right
in
2014
alderman
burns
is
when
you
started.
I
want
to
live
project.
I
believe,
because
we
were
all
around
focusing
on
violence.
O
O
If
you
live,
work
play
or
pray
in
evanston,
then
on
what
happens
in
evanston
and
let's
all
work
to
help
resolve
it.
So
there
are
people
here
in
the
community
who
want
to
really
help
do
this.
We
can
do
this
within
our
own
community
and
I
really
want
to
emphasize
that.
So
I
hope
that
you
are
listening
to
that,
but
we
just
have
to
really
pull
the
people
together.
Thank
you.
A
P
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
mayor,
biss
and
city
council
for
holding
the
special
meeting
tonight
and
I'm
really
saddened
that
it
has
to
be
had,
but
one
of
the
issues
that
I've
been
speaking
about
for
the
past
three
years
since
I've
been
back
in
evanston
and
I
grew
up
here-
is
how
our
community
is
very
good
at
brushing
under
the
rug,
the
true
issues
that
exist
and
have
always
existed,
especially
in
the
black
community.
Here
in
evanston,
my
generation,
I'm
about
to
be
45.,
many
of
us
don't
go
to
church.
P
P
So
we
find
ourselves
in
a
city
where
you
have
a
massive
income
gap.
We
have
a
city
of
people
that
do
not
want
to
acknowledge
that
the
issues
in
our
town
are
multifaceted,
part,
economic
part,
familial
part.
You
know
mental
so
part
racial,
but
we
have
to
be
willing
to
acknowledge
that
and
understand
that,
in
order
for
something
to
be
taken
care
of.
As
far
as
putting
an
end
to
the
violence,
we
have
to
focus
on
the
children
and
not
every
family
is
capable
of
providing
the
support
for
their
children.
P
We
have
families
who
might
not
have
parents
who
are
capable
of
giving
the
proper
guidance
to
their
kids,
and
we
have
to
acknowledge
that
we
live
in
a
town
that
many
of
us
do
not
want
to
face
the
facts
of
what
is
happening,
which
is
why
it's
spilling
out
not
only
in
the
high
school,
also
recently
they're
talking
about
violence
going
toward
central
street.
But
what
about
the
violence
that
has
been
going
on
in
the
fifth
ward?
P
Something
needs
to
be
done
and
it
can't
just
be
another
press
conference
or
another
slight
conversation
when
it
starts
to
affect
other
people
outside
of
the
black
and
brown
community.
Our
children
need
support
and
it
has
to
come
from
somewhere,
because
if
it's
not
addressed,
it's
going
to
get
worse
and
I'm
sorry
to
say
that.
Q
I
just
want
to
say
good
evening
may
abyss
clerk,
mendoza
and
city
council,
I'm
here
tonight
to
just
start
saying.
I
truly
appreciate
the
efforts
of
community
service
manager,
audrey
thompson
and
her
efforts
to
address
the
ongoing
increase
of
youth
related
violence
that
has
gripped
this
community
and
I'm
in
total
support
of
allocating
more
of
the
budgetary
funds
to
address
this
problem.
Q
I
also
agree
wholeheartedly
with
the
programs
to
educate
and
to
provide
inter
interventionally
strategies
to
curb
this
influx
of
gun
violence
in
our
city,
but
I
do
not
believe
that
the
increase
in
gun
violence
among
our
youth
and
for
those
from
outside
of
our
community
will
cease
anytime
soon
in
their
future.
And
why
do
I
say
this
is
for
a
long
time
we
have
kept
our
heads
in
the
sand
like
ostriches
denying
the
existence
of
gang
affiliations
here
in
evanston
and
hoping
the
violence
does
not
arrive
in
our
backyard.
Q
What
what
do
I
mean
by
this?
We
know
that
these
jews
are
not
born
gun-toting
kids,
but
they're
trained
and
they're
taught
by
their
parents
by
their
uncles
by
their
other
relatives
and
they're
taught
in
a
way
that
they
say.
If
someone
do
you
wrong,
then
you
take
care
of
it
with
a
gun
or
some
kind
of
violence.
Q
What
has
to
happen
is
not
that
we're
looking
for
yeah,
we
yeah
the
kids
do
need
help,
but
also
the
parents
have
to
be
responsible
for
their
children.
They
too
have
to
be
held
into
held
in
accountability
of
making
sure
that
that
child
is
raised
where
they
are
now.
Q
I
do
believe
that,
once
this
happened,
it
doesn't
always
happen
in
the
schools
or
the
churches,
but
it
does
happen
in
the
home,
so
we
have
to
make
sure
the
parents,
grandparents,
uncles
and
relatives
are
educated
as
well,
that
they
do
not
look
at
using
guns
and
violence
to
solve
problems.
We
need
to
stop
being
reactive
and
become
more
proactive,
and
I
look
to
see
that
something
like
this
would
happen
that
we
get
more
proactive
in
dealing
with
the
youth
and
the
parents
in
this
community.
Q
Thank
you.
For
my
time,
thank.
R
N
R
R
R
For
this
reason,
the
brand
center,
along
with
the
evanston
collective,
strongly
urge
the
council
to
adopt
sp2
on
your
agenda
tonight.
The
proposal
will
increase
funding,
we
already
know,
prevents
and
stems
youth
violence.
The
funding
will
support
programming
that
promotes
healthy
family
environments,
making
this
revitalized
effort,
a
two
generation
approach,
provides
quality.
Educational
supports,
strengthens
employment
opportunities
like
advocating
for
a
city
to
be
a
second
chance.
R
Moreover,
the
proposal
helps
actualize
many
of
the
goals
and
objectives
outline
the
mayor's
reimagining
public
safety
committee's
work
by
calling
for
the
expansion
of
the
city's
programming
to
serve
emerging
adults
up
to
the
age
of
29.,
and
for
these
reasons,
once
again,
we
would
urge
approval
of
sp2
to
strengthen
our
city's
youth
in
community
violence,
intervention
and
prevention
strategies,
and
just
in
closing,
mr
mayor,
we
would
urge
the
entire
city
government
every
department
and
the
whole
community
come
together
to
address
the
root
causes
of
youth
violence.
R
A
S
Good
evening,
mayor
best
and
members
of
the
city
council,
my
name
is
kristen
kennard
and
I
am
the
deputy
director
at
the
marian
center
as
a
direct
response
to
the
tragic
shooting
of
three
young
people.
In
march
of
this
year,
members
of
the
evanston
collective
evanson's
youth
and
emerging
adult
collaborative
gathered
to
explore
ways
to
better
support
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
and
at-risk
youth
and
young
adults
in
our
community,
with
the
input
of
the
young
people
themselves.
The
my
city,
your
city,
our
city
initiative,
was
created.
S
One
of
the
programs
created
within
this
initiative
is
the
crisis
response
team.
At
least
one
individual
from
each
collective
organization
was
identified,
all
with
varying
professional
backgrounds,
which
include,
but
are
not
limited
to
trauma-informed,
clinically
trained
mental
health
professionals,
street
outreach
workers,
restorative
justice
experts
and
executive
directors
within
24
hours
of
a
community
crisis
such
as
an
incident
of
gun
violence.
S
The
crisis
response
team
convenes
to
discuss
the
situation,
identify
who,
amongst
us
already
has
relationships
with
those
who
are
directly
or
indirectly
affected
work
together
with
the
affected
individuals
in
making
a
plan
to
be
sure
that
they
are
supported.
Moving
forward
and
provides
space
and
supports
in
an
effort
to
mitigate
any
potential
for
subsequent
acts
of
violence,
the
collaborative
nature
of
this
team
allows
us
to
utilize
not-for-profit
organizations
with
all
different
expertise
and
resources
to
wrap
around
these
young
people
and
their
families.
S
Crisis
response
is
important,
but
we
also
recognize
that
prevention
services
are
just
as
crucial
by
opening
community
centers,
spurred
on
by
high
school-aged
students
themselves
and
led
by
the
yya
team,
the
my
city,
your
city,
our
city
initiative,
provided
safe
spaces
for
hundreds
of
you,
youth
to
go
throughout
the
summer.
These
spaces
allowed
for
young
people
to
engage
in
restorative
justice
opportunities,
deep
conversations,
enrichment
activities
and
mentorship
relationships.
Although
youth
violence
has
increased
during
the
covet
19
pandemic,
we
did
see
a
decrease
this
past
summer.
S
The
success
of
this
programming
taught
us
that
we
need
to
expand
these
services
to
reach
more
young
people
ages,
11
to
29
years
old.
I've
been
working
as
a
clinician
at
the
moran
center
for
over
12
years.
More
than
90
percent
of
my
current
caseload
are
emerging
adults
between
the
ages
of
18
to
26,
who
can
be
identified
as
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
to
violence
in
our
community.
This
partnership
with
yya
and
the
other
collective
agencies
has
provided
a
way
to
identify
and
focus
on
those
individuals
and
their
families
in
a
collaborative
manner.
S
The
yya
street
outreach
outreach
team
is
the
number
one
place
that
the
moran
center
mental
health
team
refers
clients
to.
We
work
together
as
a
team
to
best
support
these
individuals.
The
expansion
of
this
team
is
crucial.
It
is
for
these
reasons
that
I'm
asking
the
city
council
to
approve
sv2.
I
appreciate
your
time
and
deep
consideration.
Thank
you.
A
T
T
The
police
use
violence
and
violence
will
not
end
violence
and
and
all
our
children
are
precious
assets,
and
I
don't
believe
the
police
treat
all
our
children
equally.
Thank
you.
U
Thank
you,
everyone
good
evening,
carolyn
murray,
who
many
of
you
know,
is
a
lifelong
fifth
ward
resident
and
a
dedicated
community
community
activist
really
wanted
to
be
here
tonight,
but
she
has
laryngitis
and
has
lost
her
voice.
So
she
asked
me
to
share
her
comments
tonight
so
that
she
doesn't
symbolically
lose
her
voice.
Carolyn
was
a
founding
member
of
the
group
of
activists
that
was
mentioned
by
ms
holmes,
who
many
years
ago
started
developing
what
is
now
the
youth
and
young
adult
services
division,
and
here
are
carolyn's
verbatim
comments
that
she
sent
to
me.
U
The
issue
of
gun
violence
has
traumatized
the
black
community
for
decades,
and
our
city
is
very
comfortable
to
allow
the
stigma
of
the
fifth
and
other
black
communities
to
continue
as
if
it's
not
a
city
problem.
If
it
happens
on
the
other
side
of
town,
even
though
I
have
repeatedly
spoken
out
to
city
council
members
and
to
my
community
for
over
20
years,
this
problem
of
unaddressed,
gun
violence
in
our
city
continues
to
get
worse,
with
the
increase
of
gun,
accessibility,
domestic
terrorism
and
agitated
social
media
conflicts.
U
The
threat
of
violence
is
definitely
here
in
our
evanston
community
and
strategic
plans
are
needed
by
an
organized
task
force
and
they
are
overdue.
Every
year
at
least
one
black
male
will
be
murdered
in
evanston
systematically.
The
council
has
turned
deaf
ears
to
our
community
crying
out
for
help.
There
have
been
no
attempts
to
continuously
meet
with
the
fifth
ward
to
address
our
resident
concerns
about
violence
and
the
traumatizing
effects
it
has
had
on
our
children,
whom
have
witnessed
or
heard
repeated
gunshots
on
their
block
and
outside
their
windows.
U
U
A
lack
of
funding
to
the
seasonal
war
zone
you
allowed
us
to
live
in
is
just
downright
pathetic.
When
I
planned
my
first
gun
buy
back
nine
years
ago.
It
was
because
I
heard
more
guns
outside
sorry.
I
heard
more
guns
outside
my
window
than
my
service
members
stationed
in
iraq,
but
I'm
here
again
I'm
asking
for
real
serious
resources,
chicago
urban
league
or
boys
club
girls,
club
or
so
many
others,
with
proven
results
who
really
care
and
want
to
prevent
violence
and
not
just
respond
after
another
murder.
U
Shame
on
you
to
not
even
consider
our
god-given
right
to
be
safe
when
we
go
outside
to
date,
the
annual
gun
buybacks
with
hard
work,
we're
able,
over
the
years
to
take
353
guns
off
the
streets
by
ourselves,
a
community
who
just
wanted
to
do
something:
no
city
funds,
but
organizations
and
youth
like
my
son,
who
just
wanted
to
prevent
someone
else
from
being
killed.
So
we
care
in
our
ward,
and
we
would
really
like
this
council
to
really
start
caring
too
carolyn
murray's
words.
Thank
you.
V
Now,
can
you
hear
me
yep
sure,
can
okay
good
evening
mayor.
Thank
you
for
your
time,
council
members
and
community
of
evanston
I'd
like
to
address
the
fact
that
I'm
a
mother
of
a
son
that
is
caught
up
in
the
penal
institution
due
to
gun
violence.
I
believe
that
in
consideration
of
sb
program
that
expanding
funding
doesn't
mean
you
cut
the
other
funding,
that's
already
in
place.
I
believe
in
programs
like
officer
and
the
gentleman
which
my
son
never
had
the
benefit
of.
V
It
has
been
proven
time
and
time
again
that
we
are
kind
of
like
a
cafeteria
city
where
we
we
set
the
lunch
out
and
then,
when
it
gets
cold,
we
take
it
back
in.
We
need
to
be
continual
with
this.
We
need
to
reach
generation
after
generation
after
generation
of
people,
some
of
the
children
that
are
being
affected
right
now
between
the
ages
of
18
and
24
are
parents,
their
self
they've
been
lost
to
gun
violence,
their
children
are
growing
up
with
chips
on
their
shoulder.
V
The
crisis
intervention
in
the
holistic
reproach
that
has
been
mentioned
before
needs
to
be
everlasting
and
for
reaching
the
other
thing.
I'd
like
to
say
that
the
recent
violence
in
evanston,
it
doesn't
matter
that,
whether
it's
our
evidence
and
youths
or
not,
but
they
have
been
victims
of
crimes
from
people
from
the
outside
I'd
like
it
to
be
addressed
that
there's
a
way
to
protect
our
kids
when
they're
not
doing
anything
that
they
have
a
safety
here
in
their
home,
but
when
they're
being
antagonized
by
individuals
across
the
internet.
V
You
know
that's
a
big
part
in
the
situation
that
something
is
being
done,
swift
to
intervene
on
their
behalf.
I
don't
believe
all
kids
leave
the
house
wanting
to
commit
crimes.
I
believe
they
want
to
do
right,
but
I
believe
that
their
avenues
are
exhausted.
I
believe
that
they
have
no
safe
place
to
turn.
V
Sometimes
nowhere
to
talk
to,
I
believe
the
officer
and
the
gentleman
program
is
needing
to
expand
or
a
program
like
it
also
be
annexed
with
it
and
shared
of
the
services
so
that
it
can
be
expanded
and
expounded
on
and
grow
and
develop.
So
I
hope
that
any
consideration
of
the
funding
is
also
considered
for
expansion
of
that
program,
and
we
need
to
reach
our
girls.
V
We
finding
that
the
girls
do
play
a
big
part
in
assisting
and
helping
as
well
there's,
no
much
more
that
I
can
say,
but
I
thank
you
for
your
time
and
I
hope
that
some
consideration
be
given
that
it
does
expand
and
the
funding
be
extended
to
programs.
Like
officer
and
gentlemen,
thank
you.
A
A
L
Hi
and
good
afternoon
or
evening,
everyone
on
console
and
thank
you
for
hosting
this
important
discussion.
I
read
the
packet
and
I
I
think
it
sounds
really
well
thought
out
and
covering
a
multiple
multitude
of
different
paths
that
will
help.
Ultimately,
our
youth.
I
think
it's
unfortunate
that
we
started
dismantling
an
important
element
in
the
youth
services
department
when
we
let
kevin
brown
go
because
he
was
doing
so
much
great
work
on
the
preventative
he
had.
L
That
was
one
of
the
conditions
that
they
had
promoted
that
with,
and
I
think
it's
an
excellent
use
of
our
of
our
city
funds.
The
other
thing
I'd
like
to
just
put
out
there
as
a
thought
as
you
take
this
conversation
further,
the
jobs
training
element
has
to
be
more
than
just
a
classroom
somewhere.
It
has
to
be-
and
I
would
suggest
thinking
about
you
use
of
the
civic
center
as
a
place
that
can
do
a
lot
can
act
as
a
hub
for
our
services
that
we
are
working
on.
L
So
I
want
to
thank
all
the
previous
speakers
because
every
one
of
them
was
so
on
target
and
this
issue.
You
know
we
keep
saying
we're
going
to
talk
about
it.
I
mean
I
was
my
daughter
was
good
friends
with
deje
and
we
talked
about.
I
remember
all
those
meetings
and
we
talked
about
it
and
it
was.
It
was
just
so
sad.
We
haven't
proceeded
further
enough
along
to
support
the
groups
like
carolyn
murray
and
all
the
other
groups
that
have
been
trying
to
deal
with
this
problem
on
a
consist,
consistent,
consistent
priority
budget
item.
A
W
Okay,
good
evening,
mayor
biss
city,
council,
interim
city
manager
and
city
clerk,
first
I'd
like
to
say
I
agree
with
everybody
who
spoke
before
me:
we
need
more
to
curb
violence
in
the
city
and
and
and
all
over.
So
first
I'd
like
to
wish
everyone
a
merry
christmas,
felice,
mommy,
dot,
happy
and
healthy
new
year
to
everyone.
W
I
I
have
my
usual
city
public.
My
public
comment
is
about
finances
money.
It's
I'm
very
puzzled
and
concerned.
After
reading
the
news
release
1250
about
the
bloomberg
philanthropies
recognizing
evidence
from
agreeing
that
it's
a
great
award,
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
everybody
has
done
to
receive
that
award,
but
it
seems
that
we're
missing
a
bigger
picture
here
that
report
the
the
reason
we
got
the
award
is
it
based
on
data
okay.
So
we
need
to
know
what
this
data
is
where's.
W
So,
just
nine
days
before
the
bloomberg
report
was
released,
there
was
a
news
conference
at
city
hall
with
mayor
biss,
cabg
and
reclaim
evanston
to
voice
concerns
about
the
lack
of
transparency,
lack
of
accountability,
lack
of
public
participation
and
to
specifically
address
why
there's
a
huge
lack
of
public
input,
which
I
believe
would
be
the
data
that
was
referred
to
in
the
bloomberg
report,
an
article
written
by
bob
seidenberg
print
the
printed
in
the
roundtable
on
12
7
talks
about
that
news
conference.
W
W
A
X
Can
you
guys
hear
me
yes
again
how.
N
X
Doing
man,
for
you
all
that
don't
know
my
name
is
ralph
edwards.
I
am
the
north
side
regional
director
of
eccsc.
X
X
I've
been
doing
this
line
of
work
for
11
years
out
of
rogers
park
and
uptown
we're
also
based
out
of
dalton
and
we're
in
maywood
and
we're
currently
in
niles
right
now,
as
we
speak,
and
I
just
want
to
say
one
thing-
a
couple
of
things:
first,
when
it
comes
to
violence
in
our
community,
textbooks
can't
teach
you
resolutions
in
problem
fixing
situations.
X
Textbooks
cannot
do
that
with
all
due
respect.
You
all
need
to
have
professionals.
That's
involved
in
this
gang
situation,
come
in
and
help
you
guys
out
just
like
technology,
you
guys
can
be
outdated
overnight.
You
know
saying
so
I
just
want
to
let
you
guys
know
that
eccsc
is
here
to
help
in
all
endeavors
man
to
help
the
team
out
anyway,
formal
fashion,
if
they
need
any
kind
of
assistance
from
us.
My
baby
goes
to
echs.
X
I
have
a
lot
of
friends
and
family
that
lives
in
the
evaston
area
and
just
to
let
you
know
that
man
we're
here
to
lend
our
professionalism
when
it
comes
to
gang
culture
and
activity
throughout
the
city
of
chicago
and
we're
here.
For
you
guys,
that's
all.
A
Y
Good
evening
city,
council,
members,
mayor
biss
and
clerk
mendoza,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak.
Y
Y
My
son
was
a
was
a
handful
I'll
just
say
that,
and
he
was
at
risk
doing
engaging
in
a
lot
of
activity
that
obviously
a
mother
would
not
approve
of,
but
the
youth
and
young
development
team
they
never
gave
up
on
him.
They
never.
They
always
came
and
supported
me
in
the
the
entire
family.
Always
was
there
for
him
to
give
him
support
and
whatever
it
was
that
he
needed,
and
also
with
the
connection
with
the
moran
center.
Y
He
has
been
able
to
reintegrate
reintegrate
back
into
society
after
paying
his
debt
to
society,
and
now
is
a
employee
of
the
youth
with
the
youth
and
young
development
division.
Now
helping
at-risk
teams
to
not
go
down
the
same
path
that
he
once
was
going
down.
So
I've
seen
that
they
are
the
the
first
responders
for
our
children,
even
in
the
schools
they
show
up
in
the
school
and
with
the
restorative
justice.
Y
You
know
practice
that
they
have
and
come
to
assist
our
our
youth
in
some
very
difficult
times,
and
it
is.
It
is
very
crucial
that
we
continue
to
have
this
division
to
be
able
to
be
the
front
line
for
our
crisis
response,
as
they
are
doing
an
amazing
job
and
need
any
any
other
supports
that
we
can
provide
them
in
the
community.
Y
I
I
know
that
they
would
be
able
to
absolutely
do
more,
so
I
just
would
like
that
you
would
consider
additional
funding
for
this
great
department
and
for
them
to
continue
to
impact
the
lives
of
our
youth.
Thank
you.
Z
Good
evening,
everyone
happy
monday
and
thank
you
mayor
bliss,
for
this
opportunity.
I
would
like
to
reiterate
to
what
ralph
edwards
said
by
thanking
this
division
for
allowing
us
to
assist
and
assisting
us
during
these
most
crisis
times
these
most
tragic
times
I'm
like
to
and
I'm
sorry
let
me
back
up.
My
name
is
gregory
sherman
and
my
title
is
director
community
outreach
and
engagement
for
eccsc.
Z
Z
We
are
here
to
support
you
in
any
way
possible
and
I'd
like
to
personally
thank
mr
aubrey
thompson
and
tom
for
her
support
and
helping
with
the
families
of
the
victims
of
the
tragedies,
and
I
also
would
like
to
thank
alderman
burns
for
his
swift
action
and
assisting
us
to
be
able
to
help
with
our
personal
friends
and
families
that
were
affected
by
the
tragedies,
and
we
just
look
forward
to,
as
most
of
the
speakers
said,
preventing
the
violence
more
than
responding.
A
Thank
you.
The
next
speaker
is
brooke
murphy
ruthanne,
who
will
be
followed
by
noah
polish
and
then
tina
payton.
AA
Hi
there
I'm
heartened
to
hear
that
eccsc
is
involved
in
this,
because
I
reached
out
to
my
friend
wendy
jones,
who
works
with
arne
duncan
at
chicago
cred,
and
when
none
of
the
council
members
responded
to
my
request
to
talk
to
wendy.
I
was
a
little
disturbed
so
anyway.
There's
that
I
was
at
the
high
school
last
week,
thursday,
when
my
kids
were
calling
me
from
the
high
school
wondering
what
was
happening,
and
I
got
on
the
phone
immediately
and
got
an
answer
within
12
minutes.
AA
I
had
to
pull
out
every
stop
that
I
had
using
every
contact.
I
had,
and
I
got
answers
fast,
it's
clear
to
me
that
some
people
on
this
council
are
not
ready
for
prime
time
we're
right
now
in
the
deep
end
of
the
inland
sea
that
we
have,
and
there
are
clear
voices
out
here.
We
need
a
voice.
We
need
a
vision.
We
need
people
like
claire
kelly,
devin,
reed,
patrick
keane
and
devlin
mayor
bis,
pastor,
neighbors,
with
a
strong
voice,
and
now
is
not
the
time
to
just
sit
on
the
sidelines.
AA
This
is
for
the
grown-ups
and
I'm
more
than
upset
because
people,
neither
if,
if
there
is
violence
going
on,
they
need
to
be
heard,
they
need
their
hands
busy
and
they
need
to
be
like
a
listening
voice
if
somebody's
thinking
of
doing
something
bad-
and
one
thing
that
comes
to
mind-
was
on
my
birthday
this
last
year,
which
happened
to
fall
on
yom
kippur
and
I'm
a
shiksa,
but
I
know
what
it
is,
because
I
used
to
go
to
a
show,
because
my
ex
used
to
play
at
one
is
that
this
kid
was
talking
about
hurting
herself
and
just
by
me,
being
there
talking
with
her
on
her
day
off
school,
and
she
happened
to
say
that
she
had
some
self-harming
tendencies.
AA
There
needs
to
be
people
out
in
the
community
who
are
ready
for
the
task
to
listen
to
others
who
might
be
thinking
of
doing
something
wrong
and
rather
than
blame
them
and
shame
them
use
dr
bruce
perry's
book.
What
happened
to
you
rather
than
what's
wrong
with
you
and
finger
point.
That
is
not
the
tool.
That's
needed
right
now.
We
need
to
expect
the
best
and
prepare
for
the
worst.
AA
We
need
to
overshoot
the
landing
field
and
pretend
that
we
are
like
navy
seals,
psychologically
or
blue
angels,
where
they're
flying
within
millimeters
of
each
other,
because
right
now
we're
talking
about
somebody
coughs
on
somebody
or
somebody
shoots
somebody
and
we're
dead.
We
are
at
spiritual
and
environmental
armageddon,
so
we
need
to
get
it
together
and
those
who
are
not
ready
for
this
test.
This
is
not
president
of
student
council.
AA
This
is
a
higher
level
task.
It's
a
spiritual
thing.
It's
a
psychological
thing.
You've
got
to
come
up
to
the
plate.
You
can't
just
sit
there
like
bumps
on
a
log.
Get
do
research
talk
to
experts,
talk
to
patrick
keenan,
devlin
talk
to
mayor
biss
people
in
the
know,
and
if
you
don't
know,
ask
but
and
finger
pointing,
we
can't
do
that.
We
need
to
offer
our
hearts
our
hands.
Have
them
paint.
AA
You
know,
you
know,
sides
of
billboards,
have
them
show
kids,
how
to
play
basketball,
get
an
all
hands
on
deck
approach,
because
we're
not
done
with
this
pandemic
and
if
we
don't
address
mental
health
jobs.
F
F
We
soon
realized
that
we
were
each
waiting
for
individual
safety
officers
to
escort
us
around
the
building.
It
took
about
30
minutes
for
most
kids
to
get
an
escort.
This
was
definitely
not
the
norm.
It
was
nerve-racking
while
we
stood
patiently
in
line
with
about
20
other
students,
a
police
officer
sauntered
up
to
the
building
with
snacks,
evidently
for
the
other
officers
inside
and
walked
right
past
us
into
the
school
all
of
us
stiffened.
F
I
pondered
this
for
a
moment.
Why
was
a
police
officer
an
official
supposedly
there
to
make
the
public
feel
comfortable
in
a
time
of
great
fear,
creating
angst
among
teenagers?
Why
were
they
getting
special
treatment?
In
our
school,
while
we
were
left
feeling
overwhelmed
and
frightened
counsel,
it's
easy
to
act
quickly.
On
fear,
I
hear
that
parents
on
facebook
have
lots
of
ideas
about
how
the
city
and
school
board
should
keep
eths
safe.
This
sort
of
reactive
action
gets
us
nowhere.
F
AB
I
believe
she
was
on
the
phone
I
don't
know,
but
in
okay.
AB
In
about
the
year
2000
a
group
of
citizens
in
the
fifth
ward
formed
to
to
eradicate
drugs
and
the
crime
that
goes
along
with
it.
When
the
group
came
to
the
attention
of
the
city,
another
group
was
appointed
to
dismantle
the
original
fifth
ward
group
named
the
foster
park
neighbors
and
ended
in
the
ouster
of
some
of
the
same
people.
Pleading
for
help
and
the
violence
goes
on
with
gun,
vibe.
AB
We
need
jobs
and
job
training.
We
need
affordable,
after-school
programs
for
from
kindergarten
through
high
school
for
academic
and
violence
prevention
help.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Everyone
who
signed
up
has
been
called
on.
The
three
people
who
have
not
yet
spoken
are
brian
wires.
Juani,
wilson
and
tina
payton
are
any
of
you
in
the
zoom
brian
wires,
lonnie
wilson.
A
Right,
if
any
of
you
are
there,
whether
you're,
on
whatever
tool,
whatever
technology,
you're,
utilizing
mute
yourself
and
speak
up
we'd
love
to
hear
from
you
again.
The
three
are
brian
wires:
lonnie
wilson
and
tina
payton.
A
Okay,
hearing
none.
That
concludes
public
comment
this
evening.
AC
Hi
good
evening,
mayor
city,
council,
city
manager,
city
clerk,
we
have
a
big
problem
here
in
evanston
and
it's
called
the
big
cover-up
must
be
something
like
donald
trump's
situation
here
at
the
white
house,
the
big
cover-up.
AC
AC
That
means
that
we
need
to
stop
going
around
saying
how
happy
this
event
is,
including
the
award
tonight.
That's
fine
that
you
got
an
award,
but
stop
shouting
out
that
evanston
is
number
one
and
concentrating
on
how
many
awards
we
can
get
instead
of
trying
to
find
out
how
we
can
help
the
youth
here
and
their
parents,
because,
after
renting
out
apartments
of
affordable
housing
for
over
50
years
here,
some
of
these
children
don't
have
any
help,
because
their
parents
need
help
too.
AC
AC
Let's
hear
the
youth,
let's
hear
what
they're
afraid
of
let's
hear
what
their
mental
problems
are.
Let's
hear
what
they
need:
you're,
not
letting
us
speak
and
you're,
not
letting
us
be
heard,
because
you
want
to
make
a
presentation
about
being
number
one
that
starts
off
at
the
city,
council
and
the
mayor,
because
you
are
the
ones
who
are
representing
us.
AC
A
N
A
Sorry,
what's
that,
oh,
so
we
begin
with
sp1.
Would
someone
like
to
make
a
motion
on
sp1.
K
K
AB
A
Is
that
council
member
flooding?
Yes?
Yes,
all
right!
So
council
member,
read
news
item
sp1,
council
member
fleming
seconds.
Is
there
any
discussion?
We
begin
with
council
member
musa.
C
K
I
just
I'm
curious,
so
this
has
to
be
passed
to
this
meeting.
I
I
believe.
G
Yes,
these
insurance
policies
start
in
january
first,
and
this
is
their
last
meeting
to
try
to
get
these
passed
in
time
to
have
insurance
coverage
going
into
the
next
year.
K
Thank
you
for
that.
My
question
I
just
I
don't
want
to
belabor
this
because
we
got
a
big
important
meeting,
but
this
is
a
special
meeting,
and
so
this
wouldn't
have
been
our
last
meeting.
So
I'm
just
concerned
if
this
is
something
that
has
to
happen
for
january
1st,
why
is
this?
How
did
this?
What
happened
that
this
is
just
coming
up
now.
G
I'm
going
to
let
attach
the
site,
our
chief
financial
officer,
respond
to
that
question.
I
Thank
you
dave
good
morning
and
good
evening
rather
mayor
and
the
members
of
the
city
council,
council,
member
radius,
you
write
generally,
I
mean
even
the
last
time
we
had
passed
it
through.
The
word
called
the
regular
city
council
meeting
the
only
city
council
meeting
in
december,
but
there
was
some
confusion.
Obviously
we
got
the
quotes
kind
of
a
it
was
a
tight
timeline.
I
The
market
is
so
kind
of
a
what
you
call
type,
particularly
in
the
chicago
area
and
the
cook
county,
so
we
were
trying
to
get
the
best
deal
and
some
of
those
the
responses
came
late.
Obviously
that
saved
us
a
substantial
amount.
You
know
from
the
brokers
and
that's
why
this
item
was
a
little
delayed.
K
R
I
A
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
remind
all
council
members
just
to
make
this
remote
meeting
work
properly.
I'm
going
to
when
we
get
to
sp2,
which
is
the
meat
of
our
evening.
I'm
going
to
ask
that
everyone
use
the
raise
your
hand,
function
to
be
recognized
and
then
once
you've
been
recognized,
I
don't
think
I
have
the
ability
to
lower
your
hand,
so
lower
your
own
hands.
So
I'm
I
don't
call
on
you
twice
for
the
same.
A
For
the
same
instance,
is
there
any
further
discussion
on
item
sp1?
A
Seeing
none
will
the
clerk
please
call
the
role.
B
B
Okay
councilmember,
when
so,
I
think
we,
if
we
can.
Oh
sorry,
council,
member
kelly,
hi
councilmember
burns
hi.
A
This
brings
us
to
item
of
sp2,
there's
a
small
error
in
the
agenda
that
I
want
to
apologize
for
again.
This
is
technical
and
not
important,
but
it
says
suspension
of
city
council
16.3
is
required
that
should
read
11.18.
A
K
Moved
suspension
of
rule
11.18
for
discussion
and
hopefully
action
as
well
on
itemsv2.
C
A
Councilmember
reed
moves
suspension,
rule
11.18,
council
member
newsma
seconds.
Is
there
any
discussion
seeing
none
will
the
clerk?
Please
call
the
role.
A
Our
legal
department
wants
to
win
mrs
reba.
J
Mayor,
it's
just
as
a
matter
of
for
the
record.
Is
it
possible
we
could.
K
Yeah
I'll
remake
the
motion
and
that
should
have
been
one
that
I
would
catch
because
18.11
is
one
of
my
favorites
I'll
move
suspension
of
rule
18.11
for
item
svt.
A
N
A
Council
member
read:
move
suspension
of
rule
18.11
council
member
newsmen
seconds,
seeing
the
discussion
with
the
clerk.
Please
call
the
rule.
A
B
So
I
will
move
on
for
for
now:
councilmember
wynn,
present
councilmember
nisma,
aye
councilmember
burns
hi.
A
With
six
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
the
motion
carriers
and
the
rules
are
suspended
before
I
call
anyone
for
discussion,
would
someone
like
to
make
a
motion
just
to
facilitate
a
discussion
on
item
sp2?
I
move
item
sp2?
A
K
Yes,
certainly
our
council
member
burns
is
the
person
who
reached
out
to
me
regarding
calling
this
meeting
so
certainly
deferred
to
to
him,
but
I
just
want
to
start
off
by
just
saying
how
fortunate
we
are.
You
know
this
is
was
a
really
great
public
comment,
maybe
one
of
the
more
powerful
that
I've
listened
to
in
my
in
my
time
on
the
council
and
with
this
body.
So
I
really
appreciate
we're
fortunate
to
have
you
know.
K
Just
you
know,
historians,
if
you
will
like
alderman
holmes,
very
thankful
that
miss
polish,
you
know
our
young
folks
came
out
and
gave
their
testimony
as
well.
As
you
know,
many
others,
the
moran
center.
K
So
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
having
this
discussion
and
supporting
the
efforts
here,
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
hearing
from
audrey
and
the
team
reading
the
memo
I
I
think
we
need
to
this
is
a
critical
step,
but
this
is
just
the
baseline,
so
I'm
hoping
we
can
move
forward
with
this
with
the
combination
of
our
funds
and
a
commitment
from
our
general
fund
as
well.
K
A
Thank
you,
council
member.
So
let's
begin
then,
mr
stoneback,
I
gather
there
is
a
presentation
from
staff.
G
Yes,
I
would
like
to
return
it
over
to
mr
garner.
AD
Good
evening,
mayor
city,
council,
members,
clerk
staff
and
community
members
on
tonight's
meeting,
no
presentation
tonight
from
the
police
department,
I
just
want
to
briefly
introduce
myself.
I
took
over
the
detective
bureau
in
september
of
this
year,
included
with
that
are
12
detectives
who
are
certified
juvenile
officers
they
handle
both
criminal
and
non-criminal
matters
involving
juveniles.
AD
Investigations
have
a
variety
of
outcomes
and
the
officers
have
wide
discretion
on
how
to
handle
cases.
In
addition
to
you
know,
traditional
law
enforcement,
where
we're
referring
delinquent
juveniles
to
court
or
writing
tickets
or
performing
station
adjustments,
we
also
make
a
fair
amount
of
referrals
to
social
service
agencies
or
other
institutions
in
town.
AD
So
I'm
very
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
hear
the
presentation
on
sb2.
I
am
joined
tonight
also
by
my
deputy
chief
jody
wright
and
our
community
policing
sergeant
chelsea
brown.
Thank
you.
AE
All
right
good
evening,
everyone,
honorable
mayor,
biz,
council
members,
specifically
council
members,
burns
breakway
and
reid.
Thank
you
so
much
for
calling
this
special
city
council
meeting.
AE
While
I
am
excited
to
discuss
some
of
the
strategies
that
the
team
has
put
together,
I'm
still
saddened
by
why
we
even
have
to
be
here
in
the
first
place,
and
so
I
really
need
to
say
to
the
victims
and
their
survivors
and
their
families
that
we
really
owe
our
condolences.
But
we
also
owe
our
action
to
you,
and
so
it's
very
important
that
I
share
information
tonight
that
will
ensure
that
the
community
really
understands
the
response
of
the
youth
and
young
adult
division,
and
so
with
that
said,
I
do
want
to.
AE
Second
all
of
the
public
comments
that
this
is
a
holistic
approach
and,
first
we
need
to
start
off
by
introducing
our
team
so
that
you
all
can
put
faces
with
names
of
the
individuals
who
are
called
to
serve
you
as
our
community.
So
first
audrey
thompson,
I'm
the
community
services
manager
for
the
city
of
evanston.
AE
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
briefly
to
jeremy
mcrae,
who
has
recently
been
promoted
to
outreach
team
supervisor
and
he'll.
Tell
you
a
little
bit
about
the
team.
We're
going
to
he's,
got
to
introduce
everyone,
so
everybody
can
keep
their
mask
on
so
I'll
put
mine
back
on
while
he
talks
and
then
we'll
then
I'll
go
back
so
that
you
can
understand.
AF
Thank
you
guys,
good
evening,
mayor
council
members.
We
appreciate
you
guys
time
today,
like
audrey,
said
our
condolences,
our
condolences
to
the
family
and
we'll
definitely
leave
with
action.
I
do
want
to
start
off
by
saying
my
name
is
jerry
mcgregor,
as
you
just
stated,
I've
recently
been
promoted,
definitely
blessings
and
the
first
individual
that
I
want
to
introduce
is
stacey
morani
been
with
the
city
for
eight
years
now
kind
of,
like
our
senior
irish
worker
who's
been
here
continuing
the
longest.
AF
We
appreciate
stephanie
stacy's
efforts.
Stacey
is
a
a
huge
part
in
our
division.
He's
on
the
ground,
he's
making
sure
that
we're
in
check
he's
making
sure
that
things
are
all
right
and
he's
making
sure
that
we're
reproduced
next
is
lakisha
barton
lakesha
barton
has
been
here
for
seven
years
now.
Great
outreach
worker
has
been
assistant
with
housing.
She's
also
been
very
intimate
and
helped
program,
some
of
our
safe
summer
initiatives.
AF
That's
turned
out
really
good,
so
I
definitely
teach
you
thank
you
for
that,
and
then
next
is
gennaro
hernandez
donald
has
been
with
us
for
about
three
years
now
it's
been
a
great
piece
for
us.
He
was
added
to
kind
of
help
out
our
latino
x,
population
and
kind
of
tap
into
that
population.
AF
He's
been
doing
an
amazing
job
with
that
gennaro
kind
of
leads
our
group
at
the
high
school,
where
we
have
a
hub
at
the
high
school,
where
we're
kind
of
interacting
with
kids
on
a
daily
basis
he's
in
charge
over
there.
So
he's
been
doing
an
amazing
job,
we're
on
the
ground
at
the
high
school,
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
help
in
any
ways.
So
thank
you,
general,
for
that
next
is
josiah.
AF
Gutierrez
she's
been
with
us
for
about
two
years:
she's
been
amazing,
just
helping
us
out
with
that
stuff
and
also
hitting
the
ground
warning
with
as
far
as
general,
with
latino
the
latino
population.
So
yes
thank
you
for
that.
I
appreciate
the
efforts
and
then,
lastly,
we
have
james
bowen,
who
is
our
youth
advocate,
which
you
guys
are
learning
a
little
bit
more
about
what
james
does
in
our
slide.
AF
But
james
has
been
an
instrumental
of
trying
to
help
the
youth
get
engagement,
plans
figuring
out
how
we
can
help
the
youth
on
a
on
a
smaller
surface
and
figure
out
how
we
can
help
push
through
whatever
we
need
to
push
you
with
individuals.
So
james
has
very
been
he's
been
very
instrumental
in
that,
and
we
appreciate
that
james
and
I
just
thank
you
guys
for
having
us
and
we
appreciate
it.
AE
AE
So
first
I'd
like
to
say
that
our
strategies
that
we're
going
to
discuss
tonight
are
only
the
beginning,
as
many
of
you
all
have
stated
tonight,
and
it
can
only
be
accomplished
with
this
and
that
strategies
and
not
this
or
that
so
I
want
to
first
start
by
saying.
I
do
not
think
that
this
plan
is
the
only
strategy.
AE
AE
If
you
look
at
our
strategic
operation
plan
on
the
city's
website,
it
references
data
from
2012.,
and
I
want
to
just
go
back
a
little
bit
and
talk
about
the
total
evanston
individuals
who
have
been
arrested
in
the
city
of
evanston,
since
2017.
AE
you'll
notice
that
there
has
been
a
decline
from
2017
a
heightened
time
in
2019,
with
263
youth
and
young
adults
arrested
and
now
246..
AE
So,
of
course,
we
have
to
talk
and
start
at
statistics
related
specifically
to
gun
related
deaths
in
evanston,
and
so
both
of
ours
are.
If
you
look
at
the
shootings
in
2016,
there
were
13
shootings
and
there
was
one
individual
who
lost
his
life
and
then,
when
you
go
all
the
way
to
2021,
you
see
there
have
been
nine
individuals
shot
and
then
four
of
whom
have
lost
their
lives.
Young
people.
AE
We
also
wanted
to
do
a
comparison
by
occurrence,
because,
while
there
were
13
shootings
in
2016,
the
occurrences
were
nine
and
if
you
look
at
the
occurrences
for
2021,
there
have
been
nine
individuals
shot.
Youth
and
young
adults
and
those
occurrences
are
three.
So
there
are
some
assessments
that
can
be
made
related
to
shootings
and
occurrences,
and
one
of
those
is
that
the
types
of
guns
that
are
being
used
are
a
lot
more
deadly.
AE
So
I'll
start
with
that
by
saying
it's
going
to
take
a
federal
state
and
local
approach
to
annihilate
gun,
violence,
which
is
a
national
public
health
crisis,
and
so
this
plan
again
is
only
one
strategy.
So,
let's
look
at
specifically
the
data
that
is
related
to
our
youth
and
young
adult
division.
AE
AE
So
you'll
get
to
see
some
of
the
information
as
to
how
many
individuals
we
help
with
employment
assistance,
assistance,
which
is
81,
14
referrals
for
substance
use
and
then
77
housed,
77
housing
and
rent
assistance
applications
completed
for
clients.
So,
who
are
our
clients,
so
those
306
new
clients
are
all
high
risk.
AE
AE
So
I'm
glad
that
resident
ray
friedman
talked
about
data,
because
I
want
to
really
talk
about
the
ages
of
the
individuals
from
this
slide,
which
is
what
has
caused
us
in
addition
to
the
research
from
the
world
health
organization.
AE
AE
So
a
part
of
those
numbers
are
from
the
306
are
our
certificate
of
rehab
clients,
so
this
is
initiative.
This
is
an
initiative
that,
where
that's
offered
in
partnership
with
the
moran
center
for
youth
advocacy
and
this
program
specifically
works
with
individuals
to
clear
their
criminal
backgrounds
or
their
criminal
records,
in
addition
to
other
programs
and
services
provided
by
the
moran
center,
so
you
see
84,
new
and
continuing
or
returning
clients
84,
just
in
2021.
AE
So
then,
again,
when
we're
talking
about
community
referrals,
there
are
three
ways
that
individuals,
youth
normally
come
to
our
division.
The
first
is
through
community
referrals,
so
you
see
here
all
the
ways
in
which
our
division
receives
referrals
and
that's
simply
through
the
community.
It
could
be
word
of
mouth.
It
could
be
a
young
person
sending
a
text
message
to
an
outreach
team
member.
It
could
be
a
parent
saying
I'm
having
a
really
rough
time
here.
AE
AE
Is
through
the
juvenile
administrative
hearings
process,
so
commander
garner
talked
about
complaint
tickets,
so
in
november
of
2020
our
division
became
responsible
for
the
juvenile
or
the
restorative
justice
program
related
specifically
to
complaint
tickets.
AE
Since
november
we
have
received
40
complaint
tickets,
29
of
those
have
completed
their
engagement
plans
and
if
you'll
notice,
I'm
not
going
to
go
over
all
of
the
data,
but
there
were
zero
complaint
tickets
written
in
june
july
or
august,
while
our
safe
summer
initiative
was
being
implemented
in
the
city.
AE
So,
what's
really
noteworthy
and
jeremy
talked
about
james
bond
and
james
bowen,
our
youth
and
family
advocate
is
the
one
who
administers
the
program,
along
with
a
lot
of
collaboration
with
the
collect
collective.
But
specifically
the
moran
center.
What's
noted
is
there
is
a
90
percent
success
rate
of
individuals
who
have
received
a
complaint
ticket
from
the
evanston
police
department,
completing
their
community
engagement
plans?
In
addition
to
that,
there
is
only
one
of
the
40
complaint
tickets
written
only
one
of
those
youth
have
returned
and
received
the
second
ct.
AE
So
then
there
is
the
third
way
that
we
receive.
Our
referrals
is
through
the
evanston
police
department,
so
community
referrals,
lots
of
ways,
administrative
hearings
process
and
then
the
evidence
and
police
department
sends
to
our
division.
Counseling
referrals,
james
bowen,
our
youth
and
family
advocate,
also
receives
those.
AE
This
year
we
have
received
41
referrals
from
the
evanston
police
department,
26
youth,
who
are
currently
receiving
some
type
of
treatment,
and
you
can
see
all
of
the
the
social
service
organizations
that
we
refer.
Individuals,
if
not
based
solely
on
some
of
the
services.
L
AE
Services
and
programs
that
we
also
provide
if
you'll
notice,
13
of
these
young
people
have
also
become
clients
of
our
outreach
team.
So
a
pretty
robust
referral
from
individuals
and
again
these
are
individuals
that
are
specifically
participating
in
violence.
If
you
would
look
at
the
counseling
referrals,
33
of
the
41
of
those
referrals,
33
of
those
are
violence
related
referrals,
so
that's
either
through
the
parents
or
the
schools,
but
those
referred
to
us
33
of
those
41
are
related
specifically
to
violence.
AE
Okay,
so
zari
is
completing
that
so
initially
our
safe
summer
initiative
was
our
safe
summer.
Initiative
was
created
because
there
were,
there
was
a
shooting
on
hold
and-
and
I
have
to
admit
that
after
that,
shooting
we
dropped
the
ball.
AE
So
after
all
of
the
meetings
we
got
together
and
we
formed
as
kristen
kanar
stated
earlier
from
the
moran
center,
we
created
this
crisis
response
team,
and
in
that
we
went
to
the
communities
and
they
told
us,
hey
you,
you
didn't
come
to
check
on
us
when
the
shooting
happened
on
our
block.
You
didn't
say
what
type
of
mental
health
services
we
were
eligible
to
receive,
or
someone
would
just
reach
out
and
say:
are
you
okay?
AE
So
that's
why
our
community
was
our
crisis
response
team
was
was
created,
and
so
we
continued
those
meetings
with
the
crisis
response
team
and
the
collective
along
with
other
high-risk
youth,
and
it
really
revealed
the
need
for
an
initiative
that
was
involving
youth,
their
families
and
community,
and
what
we
said
is
we've
got
to
do
something
over
the
summer
or
this
will
not.
This
will
be
a
summer
where
more
lives
are
lost,
and
so
we
did
that.
AE
If,
if
you
notice
some
of
the
public
comments
before
our
aldermen
home
specifically
talked
about
praying
on
the
corners,
so
we
said:
let's,
let's
go
into
the
blocks
and
we
started
with
holding
because
they
said
we
need
to
bring
this
block
together,
because
it
is,
it's
there's
a
stigma
for
this
block.
Specifically,
so
we
started
with
holding
and
we
had
a
wonderful
event
that
led
to
the
creation
of
their
block
party,
their
block
party
and
their
black
club,
and
they
are
still
meeting
to
this
day
regarding
issues
in
the
neighborhood.
AE
AE
AE
So
then
the
the
second
part
of
the
initiative
was
our
first
friday
events
and
from
our
first
friday
events
we
had
four
events,
and
this
was
really
an
ability
to
pull
together
the
youth
who
are
frequenting.
What
we'll
talk
about
on
the
next
slide,
the
community
centers
and
have
them
come
into
a
space
where
it
could
be
more
of
a
family
event.
Many
times
when
we're
working
with
you,
you
know
it's,
it's
a
really
good
idea
to
involve
their
families.
AE
AE
So
here
is
our
community
our
summer
community
drop-in
center.
So
you
see
we
averaged
50
youth
nightly
at
fleetwood
jourdain,
but
a
hundred
youth
nightly
at
robert
crown.
So
I
know
people.
AE
I
was
doing
deliveries
with
one
of
our
high
risk
youth
and
we
passed
by
robert
crown,
and
he
said
I
said:
have
you
been
into
the
new
robber
crowd
and
he
said
you
know
we're
not
allowed
in
there,
and
I
said
what
do
you
mean
you're
not
allowed
to
go
to
robert
crown?
He
said
you
know,
people
that
look
like
me
and
you
are
not
allowed
in
robert
crown.
AE
AE
AE
They
were
fine
with
going
and
hanging
out
at
fleetwood,
but
they
said
they
felt
like
they
were
grown
when
they
went
to
robert
crown
and
that's
why
we
made
sure
that
robert
crown
was
a
part
of
that
notice.
There
are
just
some
statistics:
494
students
registered
all
together
and
I'll.
Tell
you
that
that
these
are
youth
who
are
specifically
involved
in
violence,
specifically.
AE
So
I
want
to
bring
attention
to
the
picture
on
the
right-hand
side,
so
councilmember
braithway
you
and
members
from
evanston
own.
It
came
and
helped
us
with
a
spill
and
paint
violence,
prevention
workshop,
and
we
only
targeted
youth
who
were
specifically
involved
in
violence.
AE
And
if
you
look
at
the
pictures,
everyone
that
you're
seeing
are
individuals
who
lost
their
lives
doing
gun
violence.
So
we
were
able
to
have
a
conversation
with
those
young
people
while
they
painted
in
a
healing
environment.
That
said,
what
do
we
have
to
do?
What
does
this
community
have
to
do
so
that
you
do
not
become
a
victim
just
like
some
of
the
like
the
people
that
you
see
or
the
people
that
you
are
paying,
so
those
are
activities
that
happen
specifically
at
the
community
center.
AE
I
also
want
to
highlight
workforce
development
and,
up
until
now,
our
major
workforce
development
has
always
been
the
mayor's
summer-
youth
employment
program.
As
you
know,
in
2020
we
had
to
pivot.
We
were
on
target
to
have
the
largest
job
fair,
but
of
course
we
had
to
cancel,
but
we
still
provided
virtual
opportunities
for
individuals,
so
you'll
see
much
of
our
stats
and
also
those
numbers
broken
down
into
war.
AE
AE
Also
our
kenyan
non-violence
and
restorative
justice
camp
took
place
over
the
summer,
and
that
was
facilitated
in
collaboration
with
the
moran
center
and
and
please
know
that
all
of
the
individuals
that
work
with
our
outreach
team
has
specific
training
in
restorative
practices
and
circles
and
all
of
them
just
went
through
a
second
intensive
in
october,
where
they
were
trained
by
elizabeth
bastine.
AE
AE
In
addition,
and
thanks
to
the
leadership
of
nathan
norman
our
career
pathways
program,
we
we
changed
it
up
a
little
bit
and
offered
it
in
partnership
with
the
youth
job
center
and
created
what
we
call
ikit
careers
and
that's
with
the
job
center
and
the
mayor's
employer
advisory
council,
better
known
as
niacc,
and
just
this
year
in
2021
you'll,
see
13
total
positions,
seven
who
are
currently
employed-
and
these
are
young
people
who
have
already
graduated
from
eths.
AE
So
again,
thanks
to
nathan,
norman
in
his
leadership
for
thinking
outside
the
box
as
to
how
we
can
provide
you
know:
workforce
development
opportunities
for
young
people
in
a
even
independent
all
right.
So
a
couple
of
programs
that
enhance
outreach.
AE
So
what
you're
looking
at
is
a
pop-up
pantry,
which
was
facilitated
by
our
youth
and
young
adult
division,
and
this
was
on
the
backside
of
family
focus
where
individuals
could
just
drive
up
and
receive
food
on
saturdays.
So
you'll
see
that
40
individuals
and
we're
talking.
K
AE
Case
management,
wrap-around
services
in
this
pop-up
pantry,
we
were
able
to
contact
each
of
the
families
and
we've
had
clients
that
have
have
come
out
of
the
pop-up
pantries.
AE
So,
what's
so
wonderful
about
the
pop-up
pantry
is
that
we
were
able
to
hire
what
we
call
at-risk
youth
to
participate
and,
as
many
of
you
know,
we
are
really
major
partners
with
evanston
oak
and
evanston
ona,
provided
us
funding
this
year
in
order
to
be
able
to
hire
risk
youth.
So
when
I
talked
about
on
the
fifth
ward
meeting
several
weeks
ago
that
we.
AE
AE
AE
They
form
relationships
with
the
young
people
and
you
would
be
surprised
at
the
information
that
young
people
share
and
that
could
be
through
text
messages.
It
can
be
through
videos
sent
directly
to
the
outreach
team,
all
of
them
have
cell
phones
and
out
the
young.
People
have
an
opportunity
to
reach
out
to
them
whenever
they
need
to,
and
they
are
sending
information
directly
that
allows
us
to
talk
to
both
of
those
parties
in
order
to
extinguish
incidents
of
violence.
AE
AE
We
did
have
some
occurrences
at
our
community
centers,
but
as
council
member
ben
alderman,
we
called
alderman
for
alderman
homes
and
she
talked
about
throwing
the
baby
out
with
the
bath
water.
AE
We
didn't
just
say
the
program.
You
know:
we've
got
fights
going
on
with
young
people.
We've
got
to
do
away
with
the
program
we
brought
them
in.
We
brought
their
parents
in,
we
went
to
their
parents,
we
went
to
their
homes,
we
provided
restorative
circles,
one
even
ending
with
the
young
people
who
were
involved,
addressing
those
who
frequent
the
community
centers
in
an
effort
to
say
we
messed
up.
We
want
to
repair
the
harm
you
know
when
we
do
when
we
do
what
we
did
the
other
night.
This
causes
an
issue.
AE
We
don't
want
to
lose
this
program,
it's
a
wonderful
program
and
they
address
the
other
young
people
who
are
there
and
that's
what
this
is
about.
It's
not
about
saying
that
we
have
to
have
perfect
young
people.
It's
about
how
do
we
repair
harm
and
how
do
we
bring
the
entire
community
and
so
why
this
approach
matters?
It's
because
we
need
a
holistic
approach,
and
that
includes
the
city
of
evanston.
AE
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
that.
That
presentation
really
really
really
appreciate
it.
So
now
I
want
to
see
if
there's
any
discussion
from
the
council.
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
do
have
a
quick
question
for
ms
thompson.
Audrey,
you
receive
quite
a
few
referrals,
but
not
all
of
those
referrals
become
clients.
C
AE
Sure
great
question,
thanks
councilmember,
so
if
you're
referring
to
the
counseling
slide,
is
that.
C
400
plus
referrals
or
I
forget
what
the
numbers
were,
but
there
was
quite
a
few
referrals
and
then
you
know
somewhat
smaller
number
of
clients
came
out
of
that.
AE
So
it
just
depends
on
if
that,
if
that
individual
is
high-risk,
so
just
because
we
are
providing
them
resources
unless
they
state
or
we
can
engage
them
know
that
they
have
two
risks.
We
don't
consider
those
clients,
they
are
contacts
so
then,
once
we
are
actively
working
with
them
and
what's
new
to
our
division,
just
in
the
last
year
is
that
we
have
re
recrafted
apricot,
which
is
our
documentation
system.
AE
AE
And
even
with
our
restorative
practice,
coming
from
our
administrative
hearing
process,
the
parents
still
have
to
opt,
so
they
have
to
agree
because
they
can
pay
a
fine,
but
we
rarely
have
parents
who
will
pay
the
fine
so,
and
I
really
want
to
give
a
lot
of
credit
to
the
alternatives
to
arrest
committee
as
well
as
the
moran
center
for
working
in
order.
And
so
when
we
talk
about
the
reduction
of
arrest,
I
really
credit
the
work
that
they
did
in
order
to
reduce
the
amount
of
arrest
and
provide
alternatives
to
those
arrests.
AE
A
Thank
you.
Other
council
members.
AG
Hey
audrey,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation.
Would
you
would
you
mind
quickly
going
over
the
recommendations
outlined
in
the
memo
for
our
community
members,
who
may
not
have
had
a
chance
to
take
a
look
at
that
yet.
AE
All
right
so
so
I
want
to
go
back
to
our
strategic
plan,
which
is
not
new
to
the
youth
and
young
adult
division.
So
we
identified
four
areas
as
our
keys
to
success
and
violence
reduction
and
that's
education,
alternative
recreation,
workforce
development
and
civic
engagement.
AE
So
I've
broken
each
one
of
those
down
into
more
of
the
expanded
program.
And-
and
let
me
make
sure
that
I
I
because
I
want
to
be
clear-
that
while
my
city,
your
city,
our
city,
started
off
as
a
safe
summer
initiative
because
of
the
success
of
the
program
and
the
young
people
that
were
actually
coming
to
the
program.
We
recognized
we
needed
free
and
safe
spaces
for
young
people
to
come
and.
AE
Engage
with
their
their
parents,
so
so
the
the
first
part
is
that
so
we
haven't
really
increased
our
outreach.
We
have
some
seasonal
employees,
but
actual
employees
that
are,
you
know
on
that,
are
actually
a
part
of
our
team
with
benefits,
and
you
know
they're
here
permanently.
AE
We
only
have
four
plus
the
supervisor,
and
so
this
position
that
I'm
asking
for
really
allows
us
to
to
hire
one
additional
full-time
outreach
team
member-
and
this
is
someone
who
is
going
to
help
to
execute
the
entire
initiative
so
just
more
boots
on
the
ground
as
to
speak
and
then
to
break
things
down
into
education.
AE
I
need
a
job,
that's
outside
of
evanston,
because
I'm
fearful
of
going
to
work
every
day
in
evanston.
So
when
we
talk
about
flexibility,
I
need
to
be
able
to
have
flexibility
of
these
funds,
because
this
is
simply
a
budget
and
I
need
to
be
able
to
move
things
around
and
offer
programs
and
services
based
on
as
things
develop.
AE
So
another
part
of
that
is
you
see.
We've
we've
expanded
the
the
age,
the
target
age
and
we
need
more
of
a
targeted
approach
to
middle
school.
So
now,
while
we're
still
doing
some
life
skills,
you
know
camps
and
I
mean
we're
doing
those
every
week
at
two
middle
schools.
We
need
to
expand
that
so
that
we're
in
all
of
the
middle
schools.
We
are
constantly
being
asked
to
attend.
AE
Wrap-Around
meetings
with
district
65
and
district
202
staff
about
clients,
and
sometimes
they
don't
even
have
a
release
of
information
and
they'll
just
say:
can
we
get
on
a
call
and
talk
about
what's
happening
and
you
all
can
help
us
figure
out
what
to
do
until
we're
able
to
get
a
release
of
information
and
refer
the
young
person
directly
to
you.
AE
N
AE
Who
said
I've
started
at
the
barber
college,
but
I
can't
end
because,
as
soon
as
I
graduate
the
funding
stops
from
eths,
we
know
that
if
you
don't
catch
them
in
that
time
period
between
the
cutoff
of
funds,
there,
you
got
a
problem,
so
we
need
to
be
able
to
say
if
you
complete,
then
we
will
provide
the
funding
for
the
rest
of
the
barber
college.
Same
thing,
I
was
on
a
call
last
week
with
north
shore
health
systems
we're
working
really
intimately
with
them.
AE
N
AE
K
AE
We
have
started
applications
for
the
youth
advisory
committee
and
currently
we
have
12
applicants
when
we
come
back
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
This
will
go
out
to
the
community
because
those
12
applicants
were
referred
specifically
by
social
service
organizations,
because
we
wanted
young
people
who
have
a
story.
AE
You
know
I
mean
we're
happy
to
have.
You
know
a
valedictorian,
but
we
also
want
individuals
who
are
specifically
involved
or
have
been
involved
in
violence
or
really
have
a
lot
of
those
at-risk
characteristics.
We
want
to
be
able
to
have
them
on
our
youth
advisory
committee
and
they
will
be
the
ones
that
will
inform
a
lot
of
policies
and
practices
not
only
of
our
division
but
for
the
city.
AE
Wouldn't
it
be
nice
for
them
to
be
doing
this
presentation
rather
than
me
absolutely
so.
A
part
of
civic
engagement
is
getting
them
involved
and,
as
one
individuals
talked
about
her
son
from
the
public
comment,
her
son,
who
is
an
at-risk
youth,
is
currently
employed
by
the
city
of
evanston
and
he
is
working.
AE
You
know,
as
we
would
consider,
a
junior
outreach
team
member
but
we'd
like
to
have
more
young
people
who
we
consider
at
risk
opportunity,
youth
and
that
again
is
just
something
that
evanston
owned
and
started.
We
just
want
to
be
able
to
finish
it
and
then
so
you'll
see
also
stipends
for
parents,
so
these
are
parents
who
have
really
been
either
clients
or
individuals
who
have
been
affected
by
violence.
AE
AE
Again
I
talk
about
the
right
now
opportunities,
so
I
need
to
be
able
to
provide
opportunities
when
someone
says
I
need
a
job
right
now,
so
we
need
to
create
here
at
the
city,
a
second
chance
policy
and
I
reached
out
to
megan
fellar,
who
is
our
interim
hr
manager,
she's
already
put
in
a
legal
request
to
start
that
process.
So
we
can
see-
because
even
you
know
whatever
happens
tonight
doesn't
mean
we
don't
need
to
still
do
a
second
chance
policy.
We
need
that.
AE
We
also
need
to
be
able
to
go
to
city
the
city,
2100
ridge
and
talk
to
each
department
and
really
work
with
them
on
those
positions
that
we
can
hire
for
these
right
now
positions.
Do
you
recognize
that
if
we
have
a
family
member
who
works
at
the
city
of
evanston
and
can
be
a
part
of
the
union
that
they,
along
with
anyone
in
their
home,
can
go
and
get
an
associate's
degree
or
a
bachelor's
degree
for
free?
L
AE
And
legal
to
see
what
we
can
do
in
order
to
look
at
job
descriptions
and
reduce
barriers
for
employment
for
our
clients,
I
need
to
be
able
to
get
our
clients
a
job
here
too,
so
the
75
000
and
again.
This
is
only
a
budget
allows
us
to
while
an
individual
is
going
through
on-the-job
training
and
we
are
just
estimating
50
people
in
a
year
that
we'll
be
able
to
provide
right
now
opportunities.
AE
T
AE
240
000,
we
are
able
to
say
we
will
pay
for
the
first
eight
weeks
of
training,
while
this
person
has
services
wrapped
around
them
by
our
organization
and
other
organizations
as
well
as
and
that's
for
eight
weeks.
But
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
providing
job
readiness,
training,
we're
finding
people
who
haven't
worked
in
years,
and
so
some
job
readiness
trainings
to
carry
them
through
that
eight
weeks
would
be
necessary.
AE
So
that's
why
we
have
the
whole
job
readiness
also
career
pathways.
That's
why
that's
all
a
part
of
the
workforce,
development
piece
and
then
finally,
there's
alternative
recreation.
You
see
money
in
order
to
help
individuals
create
their
own
block
club,
but
also
to
help
them
execute
their
first
block
party.
AE
And
so
you
know
that's
going
to
take
some
of
our
staff
time,
but
we're
also
wanting
to
reach
out
to
those
black
clubs
that
are
already
formed
and
say:
are
you
willing
to
help
another
community,
another
neighborhood
get
their
black
club
up
and
running
and
then
our
drop-in
center
right
now
the
plan
is
to
open
up
a
drop-in
center
directly
across
the
street,
from
evanston
township
high
school
in
gibbs
morrison
and
be
open
from
the
time
young
people
get
out
of
school
until
8
30
at
night
and
allow
them
to
have
opportunities
to
talk
about
career
paths,
but
also
just
provide
them
a
safe
space
and
what
we've
been
told
by
them
is
to
allow
them
a
place
to
be
allow
them
a
place
to
resolve
their
conflicts
with
our
assistance,
but
also
a
free
space.
AE
So
that
would
be
directly
across
and
you
know,
there's
a
kitchen
area.
How
wonderful
would
it
be
for
us
to
open
up
a
cafe
in
that
area
and
allow
the
youth
to
run
the
cafe
at
the
youth
center?
So
those
are
workforce,
development
opportunities
that
are
at
our
fingertips
if
we
just
execute
them.
So,
let's
look
at
you
know
again:
let's
not
throw
the
baby
out
with
the
bath.
N
AG
Yep
and
I'll
have
other
things
but
I'll
pass
on
my
colleagues
circle
back
around.
Thank
you.
D
Great
thank
you
for
that
interesting
presentation,
so
I
just
am
trying
to
understand
a
little
bit
about
the
budgeting
for
this,
and
when
I
was
looking
through
the
budget,
I
was
trying
to
find
the
line
item,
for
I
could
see
what
we
were,
what
we
had
allocated
in
2019.
D
Can
you
tell
me
what
how
much
did
we
have
allocated
for
youth
and
young
adult
services
for
the
2020
and
for
the
2021
budget?
I
just
was.
I
don't
know
if
it's
called
something
different,
but
I
didn't
couldn't
find
it.
AE
So
for
2022
it's
about
1.6
million
dollars
and
for
the
two
years
before
that,
it's
a
little
less
than
that,
so
we've
received
just
a
little
bit
of
additional
funding
and
that's
based
on.
We
did
not
have
the
restorative
justice
program
initially,
and
so
that
is
also
now
under
youth
and
young
adults,
so
that
just
provides
an
opportunity
for
us
to
engage
directly
with
those
receiving
the
c
tickets.
AE
In
addition,
in
our
budget
for
2022,
we
have
two
contractual
positions
for
a
licensed
clinical
person
to
work
with
us
as
well,
so
that
would
be
something
that
just
will
overall
help
with
our
whole
mental
health
is
essential.
You
know
we
have
that
task
force.
We
work
with
them
also,
but
you
know
that
just
kind
of
helps
further
their
mission
and
our
mission
is
just
making
sure
that
we
are
trauma
informed
and
we're
we're
and
we're
working
with
that
with
our
clients.
D
AE
D
Okay,
thank
you,
and
can
you
talk
to
me
a
little
bit
about?
Can
you
tell
us
like
what
articulation
with
the
high
school
has
happened
in
the
past
couple
of
years?
As
a
30-year
veteran
teacher
there
I'd
love
to
know
what
efforts
have
been
made
to
in
articulation
with
our
high
school.
AE
So
we
actually
have
an
office
in
the
hub
at
eths,
and
you
know
it's
a
little
it's
it's,
not
young
people
aren't
hanging
out
in
that
space
as
much
anymore,
but
as
soon
as
we're
able
to
then
we're
back
in
that
space.
So
I
mean
we,
we
literally
have
an
office
at
eths
and
then
our
outreach
team
is
there
at
let
out
a
lot
of
times
just
to
make
sure
that
things
go
smoothly.
AE
We
recognize
that
a
lot
of
you
know
a
lot
of
fights
happen
when
young
people
are
lit
out
of
school,
but
also
our
interactions
specifically
with
teachers,
counselors
social
workers,
the
principal
the
superintendent.
AE
You
know
we
really
work
with
them
specifically
and
they
send
referrals
our
way
based
on
several
things
that
would
happen
in
in
the
high
school.
So
we
get
ourselves
directly
from
the
high
school
and
even
more
so
now
to
middle
school.
D
AE
AF
I
was
just
going
to
say
lunchtime:
I'm
sorry
yeah,
that's
probably
talking
about
that,
but
I
would
say
just
an
example:
is
at
the
high
school
we're
able
to
schedule
kind
of
meetings
or
the
youth
know.
We
were
directly
inside
of
the
hub,
so
the
way
that
we
kind
of
kind
of
tell
the
youth
they
reach
out
to
us.
Some
text
messages
walk
them
through
the
halls.
AF
Safety
officers
prefer
to
say,
hey
the
outreach
team
is
here,
but
our
main
hours
are
usually
probably
the
high
rates
time,
which
is
lunch
time.
I
think
that's
the
hours
that
we,
those
are
hours,
that
we
really
are
able
to
navigate
and
help
out
and
with
those
hours
you've
got
probably
a
lot
more
of
the
youth.
AF
AE
Traditionally,
I'm
sorry,
we've
shared
a
space
with
the
youth
job
center,
who
is
who's
actually
one
of
our
partners
when
it
comes
to
career
pathways
and
also
miyak,
so
miak
is
there.
They
are
even
now
doing
employer
presentations,
so
we're
also
a
part
of
that
as
well
just
working
with
me
and
to
make
sure
that
young
people,
you
know,
understand
career
paths,
okay,.
AE
Doing
lunch
hours
and
normally
it's
gennaro
and
so
he's
there
most
times
he's
really
assigned,
but
it
could
be
any
outreach
team
member
who's
there
as
well.
AF
And
also,
depending
on
the
relationship
that
outreach
worker
have
with
the
youth,
I
think
that
that
kind
of
determines
whether
who
goes
to
the
high
school
and
what
and
what
we
need
to
talk
about.
So
we
we
kind
of
go
based
off
that,
but
yeah
general
was
in
there
and
then
we're
we're
I'll,
let
out
every
day
at
3
35
in
the
front
of
the
high
school.
Also
in
the
back
of
the
high
school
and.
AE
Council
member
council,
member
kelly,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
that
for
our
safe
summer
initiative
we
only
really
targeted
high
school,
and
so
the
youngest
was
13.
AE
Folks
kind
of
came
in
sometimes,
but
our
age
was
13,
and
so,
when
you
look
at
the
statistics
for
those
494
youth
that
came
to
the
community
centers,
those
are
young
people
that
we
see
at
the
high
school.
AE
But
there
are
also
young
people
who
came
over
the
summer
to
our
community
centers,
fleetwood,
jourdain
and
also
robert
craft,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
all
understand
we
didn't
create
the
same
summer
initiative
sitting
in
a
room
like
this.
AE
AE
All
of
that
was
created
by
the
young
people
who
went
to
the
centers
in
addition
to
the
young
people
that
we
receive
the
sea
tickets
from
the
ones
that
are,
and
these
young
people
are
directly
involved
in
and
not
only
violence,
but
we
also
know
that
they
are
individuals
who
who
own
guns,
you
know.
So
you
know,
and
I'll,
just
and
I'll
I'll,
just
have
to
say
that,
like
you
know,
we
we
have
been
in
contact
with
individuals
who
who
do
own
guns.
AE
D
Thank
you
so
much,
and
I
mean,
in
terms
of
you,
know
violent
like
evidence-based
violence
reduction
programs.
AE
So
we
use
data
from
what
many
organizations
or
many
entities
say,
will
reduce
violence,
and
so
a
part
of
that
is
what
you
see
in
my
report
from
the
world
health
organization,
which
is
hey.
How
are
you
going
to
provide
training
and
support
for
families?
The
center
for
disease
control
also
says
the
same.
These
are
proven
strategies
that
actually,
and
the
biggest
part
of
it,
is
workforce
development
and
also
the
four
education,
those
four
components
that
have
been
a
part
of
our
strategic
operation
plan.
D
And
the
kenyan
program
has
been
going
on
during
covent
correct,
because
I
know
it
was
happening
before
kovid
and
that's
continued
during
these
past
two
years.
The
kenyan
program
right.
D
AE
So
we
already
have
employers
that
we
work
and
that's
facilitated
a
lot
by
miat,
but
also
our
employers
that
are
internal
and
external,
that
we
already
work
with
for
the
mayor
summer,
youth
employment
program.
So
we
have
external
and
internal,
but
I
want
to
be
able
to
say
to
them.
This
is
available,
so
you
know
if
it's
available,
then
that's
when
we
will
canvas
them
to
say
here's
the
opportunity.
AE
AE
What
opportunities
are
available
at
the
city
and
we
have
many
seasonal,
but
we
also
have
jobs
that
are
open.
Stacy
mourinho
is
here
tonight
and
council
member
burns
and
councilmember
brakeway
came
to
an
event
that
he
hosted
last
week
at
the
robert
crown
center
and
he
had
nine
19
individuals
there
to
talk
about
expunging
their
record
their
their,
and
so
from
that.
AE
Why
am
I
not
able
to
say
here?
Are
these
opportunities
for
you,
and
some
of
them
are
individuals
who
have
young
people
who
come
to
robert
crown
every
day
for
our
current
drop-in
center
and
council
member
braithway
will
tell
you
of
an
incident
that
occurred
right
at
the
center,
with
three
young
men
just
last
week
that
if
we
weren't
there
navigating
and
providing
some
resources
for
them
and
their
mug
now
this
these
are
three
young
men
who
come
every
day
to
the
center.
AE
D
AE
D
Yeah
that'd
be
great,
I
mean,
as
I
know,
you
agree,
like
accountability,
we're
all
committed
to
creating
an
evanston
that
better
supports
our
youth
at
risk.
But
if
we
don't
have
the
accountability
piece,
I
mean
just
it's
so
important,
so
I
would
love
to
see
that
that
would
be.
That
would
be
great,
and
I
can
I
was
just
curious.
One
thing
kind
of
got
my
attention
when
you
mentioned
families
about
the
option
about
opting
out
and
a
fine,
can
you
what
is
the
sign
that
you
mentioned
that
family
so.
AE
When
young
people
are
written,
what
we
call
a
c
ticket,
that's
a
complaint
ticket
by
the
evanston
police
department.
AE
They
they
are
given
the
ticket
and
then
given
a
time
to
appear
which
now
we're
appearing
virtually
they
appear
at
the
hearing,
and
in
that
time
they
can
plead
liable
and
and
go
through
restorative
practices.
So
they
can
do
that
or
they
can
opt
to
just
pay
whatever.
The
fine
is
that
the
c
ticket
presents
so,
but
we
don't.
AE
AE
D
And
then
my
last
question
for
the
moment
I
have
a
lot
of
questions,
but
so
all
these
programs
that
I'm
looking
over
that
seem
wonderful.
So
none
of
us
are
happening
now
within
the
current
budget.
AE
Are
so
the
safe
summer
initiative
we've
already
secured
funding
for
that
piece,
which
is
why
the
ask
is
not
more
because
we've
already
secured
community
development
block
grunt
grant
funds
that
are
specific
to
covet
for
this
next
summer.
So
all
of
those
three,
the
block,
the
block,
clubs,
the
the
block
parties,
the
first
fridays-
all
of
that
will
be
returning
come
summer
and
the
goal
is
come
this
summer
2022..
AE
So
the
goal
is
for
us
to
have
our
youth
advisory
committee
to
already
be
in
effect,
and
they
will
be
the
ones
that
will
manage
this,
and
so
you
know
we
want
youth
to
be
really
making
the
decisions
on
how
we
reach
them,
because
I
mean
I'm
45.
and
certain
things
that
I
did
at
15.
16
18
25
are
just
different
now,
so
we
have
to
have
young
people
who
are
going
to
inform
those
decisions.
AE
So
a
part
of
the
youth
advisory
committee
is,
I
mean,
wouldn't
it
be
great
for
them
to
come
to
mayor
bison,
say
we
want
to
declare
the
week
leading
up
to
when
school
is
out.
You
know
violence
prevention
week
and
that
we
have
a
strategy
that
includes
the
middle
schools
and
the
high
schools
that
really
prepare
them,
while
they're
in
school
leading
up
to
the
summer
and
that's
something
that
we
do
every
year.
D
Thank
you
yeah.
I
would
love
to
see.
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
way
to
do
sort
of
a
chart
to
see
what's
being
covered
currently
with
the
1.6
million,
and
you
know
what
you're
unable
to
cover
what
you've
been
unable
to
do
with
that
money.
It
would
just
be
helpful,
I
think,
in
terms
of
just
accountability,
so.
AE
So
just
imagine
that
a
large
part
of
our
budget
is
that
program.
So
I'm
happy
for
us
to
sit
down,
and
you
can
see
why
it's
important
to
have
additional
funding,
because
I
can't
just
offer
young
people
a
job
during
the
summer.
I've
got
to
help
them
find.
You
know,
career
paths
that
really
shape
and
inform
their
futures,
and
so
that
that's
going
to
require
some
additional
funding.
A
For
sure,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
name
that
this
is
an
incredibly
important
topic,
so
I'm
not
inclined
to
cut
people
off,
but
there's
just
been
a
lot
of
lengthy
back
and
forth,
and
I
know
that
the
folks
are
are
flagging
a
little
bit.
So
I
want
to
just
urge
both
questions
and
answers
to
be
as
as
concise
as
possible
to
make
sure
that
the
folks
who
raise
their
hand
last
have
an
equal
people
shot
next
will
be
council
member
revell,
followed
by
fleming.
AH
Well,
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and,
as
you
know,
I'm
always
pretty
succinct
and-
and
in
fact
I
do
have
to
drop
off
of
the
call,
because
I
have
a
previous
commitment-
that's
starting
momentarily,
but
I
did
want
to
just
jump
in
quickly
and
say
you
know
huge
thanks
to
audrey
for
this
just
really
wonderful
presentation
about
such
a
multi-faceted
program.
AH
It
it
covers
not
only
in
terms
of
what
we've
been
doing,
gives
us
a
greater
appreciation
of
the
many
different
programs
that
are
currently
in
place,
but
then
all
the
new
initiatives
that
are
outlined
in
the
memo-
it's
it's
very
encouraging.
I'm
I'm
particularly
pleased
to
see
that
we're
expanding
the
target
age
for
for
the
programs,
because
it's
very
clear
that
we
need
to
go
beyond
age
24.
So
I
think
that's
a
very
important
addition
to
the
program.
It's
it's
really
great.
AH
We
have
so
many
community
partners
that
are
working
hand-in-hand
with
the
city
because
you
know
this
is
really
this.
This
is
a
huge
issue.
That's
going
to
take
all
of
us
working
together
to
really
bring
to
a
successful
outcome.
I
wanted
that.
I
had
one
more
little
target
here,
oh
and
I
I'm
really
glad
to
see
so
many
programs
that
do
reach
out
to
involve
the
families,
because
it
it
we
really.
AH
It
does
need
to
be
wraparound
for
the
for
the
young
people,
but
it
also
needs
to
be
holistic
for
the
for
that
whole
family
and
what
we
can,
whatever
we
can
do
to
make
the
community
you
know
be
able
to
help
families
provide
economically
in
a
more
and
be
more
financially
stable
would
be
to
the
benefit
obviously
of
the
family,
but
and
and
then
the
young
people
that
we're
trying
to
reach
with
this
program.
So
I
thank
you
again
for
outlining
such
an.
A
Thank
you,
council.
Member
fleming.
AI
Yeah,
oh,
shoot,
sorry,
my
volume,
so
the
couple
comments.
So
one
thing
is:
I
do
like
that.
The
age
has
gone
up.
AI
I
guess
I'm
also
concerned
about
the
age
going
down
and
maybe
that's
not
something
for
our
city
team,
but
more
coordinated
effort
with
65,
because
you
know
how
the
literature
talks
about
violence
starting
younger
and
younger,
and
so
I
you
know
it'll
be
great
if
it
is
only
14,
but
I
think
you
know,
kids
who
engage
in
violence
at
14
have
been
exposed
and
have
other
things
going
on
much
younger.
So
I
know
you
guys
already
work
with
65
and
we
don't
need
to
get
to
a
long
conversation
about
that.
AI
AE
I
mean
so
our
so
we
do
expand
the
age
to
29,
but
we
lower
it
to
11..
So
that
covers
the
middle
school.
And
so
you
know
we
want
to
start
at
middle
school,
and
you
know
at
some
point.
There
has
to
be
discussion
with
even
elementary.
AE
That's
what
I
mean
yeah
right
capacity
right
now
and
and
we
are
working
directly
with
the
counselors
and
social
workers
and
there
there
are
there's
a
new
position
at
district
65,
which
are
two
social
workers
that
are
specifically
wrapped
around
social
workers
and
so
they've
attended
our
planning
group
meetings
and
they
refer
cases
specifically
to
us,
but
they're,
also
inviting
us
to
wrap
around
so
that
we
can
participate
in
those.
As
far
as
young
people
that
we're
working
with.
AI
Right
so
so
that's
helpful
again.
I
still
think
we
you
know
as
a
city,
if
we're
talking
about
not
just.
Obviously
we
are
the
municipality,
but
as
a
city
as
a
whole.
This
is
a
city-wide
problem.
Just
wanting
to
make
sure
we
don't
this
things,
we
could
have
helped
younger
kids,
even
younger
than
11
right,
learn
to
deal
with
so
that
at
11
to
14
they're,
not
making
the
wrong
choices.
AI
Another
thing
that
I
think
is
not
spelled
out
explicitly
that
I
just
want
to
name
is
you
know
really
focusing
on
males
as
we
see
again
nationwide,
you
know
males
as
offenders
males
as
victims.
Obviously
young
women
obviously
play
a
role
in
both
sides
as
well,
but
you
know
a
lot
of
the
violence.
A
lot
of
the
statistics
are
males,
and
so
you
know
just
making
sure
we
don't
miss
that
the
I
appreciate
the
second
chance
policy
as
we
were
talking.
AI
I
looked
in
my
email
because
it's
something
that
I
worked
on
when
I
first
got
to
council
we
anyway,
we
did
make
some
policy
adjustments,
not
nearly
enough,
but
at
that
time
the
council
and
administration
were
not
willing
to
do
much
more.
So
hopefully,
you
will
get
further
happy
to
share
what
we
did
get
to,
but
again
it
was
not
enough,
in
my
opinion,
to
really
make
a
difference.
AI
It
still
left
a
lot
of
room
for
people
to
opt
out
of
hiring
folks,
and
so
it
would
be
great
if
we
can
solidify
something
that
says
we
are
actually
going
to
hire
people
right
and
don't
give
you
know,
hiring
managers
an
opportunity
to
use
phrases
like
people
are
not
a
good
fit
for
our
culture
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
I
believe
in
that
wholeheartedly.
I
think
we
do
have
to
be
an
example.
AI
AI
Apprenticeships
right
they
don't
pay
very
much.
We
don't
have
very
many
yeah.
We
ask
everybody
else
in
the
city
to
hire
folks
who
we
don't
always
make
an
effort
to
hire.
So
I
appreciate
that
we're
doing
that.
The
block
club
thing,
I
think,
is
great.
I
I
hope-
and
you
know
to
explain
that
now,
but
I
hope
that's
going
to
be
expanded.
AI
You
know
city-wide.
I
know
that
the
talk
so
far
has
been
a
lot
about
block
clubs
in
the
fifth
ward,
but
I
think
in
order
to
keep
violence
down
and
to
focus
on
the
entire
city,
we
have
to
make
sure
that
you
know
those
kind
of
activities
are
expanded
throughout.
I
do
applaud
and
audrey.
AI
You
know
you
and
I
have
talked
about
this-
having
activities
at
proper
crown,
because
again,
when
I
came
into
office,
kids
were
put
out
of
rubber
ground
and
that's
back
when
it
was
owed
and
had
leaky
ceilings,
and
we
don't
have
any
other
really
youth
place
here
in
south
evans,
and
so
our
kids
in
south
emerson
are
left
out
of
a
lot
of
activities.
AI
So
I
know
we
tried
to
have
the
community
events
at
the
ninth
ward
twice
this
summer
we
were
worried,
I'm
praying
not,
unfortunately,
but
you
know
I
do
appreciate
that
there
has
been
some
intention
on
getting
to
south
edmonton
and
not
just
having
to
be.
You
know,
howard
street
and
then
all
the
way
back
up
to
the
fifth
ward,
which
is
my
experience
before
these
efforts
started.
I
think
the
other
thing
that
I
will
add
is
I
appreciate
you
saying
that
this
is
not.
You
know.
AI
This
is
one
part
of
the
situation
you
know
I
sat
on.
Maybe
you
don't
know
what
I
sat
on.
The
mayor's
was
reimagining
public
safety
and
one
of
the
work
groups
was
violence
prevention,
where
we
asked
lots
of
people
who
had
you
know,
academic
experience
and
personal
experience
with
violence
to
participate.
They
made
some
recommendations
that
I
know
are
not
part
of
the
presentation
tonight,
but
I
did
send
around
and
I
would
hope
people
will
take
a
look
at.
I
think
it's
you
know
we
have
to
have.
AI
You
know
some
very
bold
things
we're
doing.
We
have
to
have
some
things
that
we
know
work.
We
have
to
have
some
things
that,
as
council
member
kelly
pointed
out,
you
know
are
just
kind
of
best
practice
academically.
Although
academics
don't
know
everything,
I
think
particularly
working
with
andy
from
northwestern
who
was
the
chair
of
that
committee.
I
mean
for
a
living,
he
researches
violence
prevention
programs,
and
so
he
definitely
have
some
insight
on
what
works
throughout
the
chicago
metropolitan
area.
AI
And
so
hopefully
we
can
utilize
that
I
don't
know
if
that
work
will
come
to
your
department
or,
as
per
andy's
recommendation,
to
have
a
whole
different
kind
of
unit
working
on
this.
But
I
think
it's
something
that
we
as
a
council
and
we
as
a
city
need
to
at
least
look
at.
I
know
we're
not
going
to
do
that
tonight,
but
I
also
think
this
speaks
to
how
we
bring
citizens
together,
ask
them
to
give
input
and
then
sometimes
don't
necessarily
take
their
input
and
consideration
we're
making
decisions.
AI
So
I
would
hope
that
the
council
may
be
at
a
january
meeting
whenever
we're
getting
to
the
point
of
voting
on
this.
Since
it's
just
for
discussion
tonight
can
also
look
and
see
how
we
can
incorporate
some
of
those
things,
or
at
least
have
a
discussion
on
those
things,
and
I
think
the
other
thing
is
one
more
thought.
AI
Oh
and
and
this
maybe
doesn't
fall
under
you
audrey
and
I
don't
know
you
know,
I
hate
to
talk
necessarily
about
mr
green's
comments
about
the
parents,
because
definitely
all
no
parents
have
a
role,
but
I
think,
as
someone
else
mentioned,
parents
particularly
nowadays
have
lots
of
stressors
on
them
and
particularly
in
the
black
community
that
I
grew
up
here
in
evanston.
AI
We
are
not
as
tight
as
we
used
to
be
in
helping
to
help
each
other
with
their
children,
but
I
mean
I
think,
one
thing
that
I
recognize
from
being
in
schools
and
having
my
own
kids.
You
know
a
lot
of
the
kids,
don't
feel
welcome
in
our
community.
So
I
know
part
of
that
is
what
audrey's
working
on,
but
I
think
as
a
city,
we
need
to
kind
of
look
at
that
right.
AI
I
mean
it's
kind
of
all
of
our
responsibility,
and
so
when
we
think
about
kids,
who
are
out
and
being
violent
to
other
people,
you
know
a
lot
of
research
talked
about.
You
know
you
you
do
to
other
people
which
you
feel
like
you
know
either
someone
has
done
to
you
or
you
don't
feel
like
you
kind
of
have
work
in
this
community,
and
so
evanston
is
definitely
not
a
place.
AI
We
should
have
kids
walking
around
feeling
like
they're,
not
I'm
useful,
but
but
I
know
there
has
been
some
experience
even
on
some
of
my
friends,
kids,
but
they
don't
feel
like
they're
part
of
this
community
either.
They
are
not
really
welcome
in
schools
or
the
schools.
You
know
have
them
labeled
as
bad
kids.
AI
They
go
to
after
school
programs
where
they're
not
welcome
and
they
just
kind
of
start
to
feel
like
they're
on
the
outskirts
of
the
city-
and
this
is
a
small
city
to
feel
like
that,
so
hopefully
somewhere
somehow
as
a
city,
we
can
kind
of
think
through
that
and
make
sure
we
have
past
our
signage.
We
actually
have
some
welcoming
communities
for
all
of
our
students.
AI
I
know
the
marantz
center
does
a
good
job
about
that,
but
that's
something
again,
not
audrey's
department,
necessarily
but
citywide
that
we
need
to
think
about
how
we're
welcoming
all
of
our
kids,
the
ones
who
are
you
know,
good
students,
not
good
students,
good
sports
athletes
or,
just
you
know,
regular
everyday
kids
like
me-
can
still
feel
like
they're
important
part
of
this
community.
So
I
think
that's
really
important
for
us
to
think
about.
Just
as
we
think
about
this
issue.
Citywide.
A
The
everyone
who's
asked
to
speak
has
spoken
for
a
first
time,
so
we're
going
to
go
to
folks
requesting
to
speak
for
a
second
time,
beginning
with
council
member
reed,
who
has
three
minutes
and
35
seconds
left.
K
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
audrey
for
the
presentation.
We
got
an
email
that
councilmember
fleming
sent
around
from
monique
parsons,
who
made
pretty
good
comment
and
she
said
there
that
you
know
there's
there
isn't
one
recipe
for
you
know
for
for
violence,
reduction
for
solving
this
and
you
know
almost
intractable
issue,
but
when
looking
at
this
proposal
and
hearing
everything
you've
you've
said
one,
I'm
glad
you
know
we
have
someone
with
your
capability
leading
this
effort.
K
Certainly
you
know
you've
demonstrated
a
very
clear
and
deep
understanding
of
these
issues
and
what's
at
stake
and
what's
needed
here,
but
when
looking
at
this
recipe
that's
put
before
us,
I
mean
it
seems
to
me
to
meet.
You
know
the
basic
criteria
for
a
good
recipe.
I
think
you
know
we're
ready
to
put
this
in
the
oven
and
something
good
will
come
out.
K
I
mean
it's,
you
know
it's
a
holistic
plan
that
includes
wrap-around
services
that
addresses
not
just
the
needs
of
our
youth,
but
the
the
adults
that
are,
you
know
taking
care
of
the
youth.
You
know
it
has
some
proven
metrics
I
mean
the
metric
about
recidivism,
the
c
tickets.
I
don't
know
if
that
would
be
considered
recidivism,
but
that
the
efforts
about
recidivism
and
not
having
folks
who
are
interacting
with
the
program,
you
know
become
repeat.
Offenders
is
all
really
positive.
K
The
extending
services
it
seems
like
year-round
now,
I'm
thinking
that
it's
not
a
ghost
memory
or
a
ghost
recollection
of
what
I
read
or
heard
that
there's
also
you
know
some
looking
into
just
like
a
winter
employment
program
as
well
here.
So
I
I
am,
you
know
really
happy
about
this,
and
I
appreciate
councilmember
kelly
and
fleming's
their
questions.
K
I
think
it
is
really
important
that,
as
we're
moving
forward
with
this,
that
we're
we're
looking
at
things
that
are
backed
with
you
know
a
mix
of
that
academic,
research
and
and
ground
efficacy.
So
really
looking
forward
to
supporting
this,
I
actually
want
to
make
a
motion
that
we
move
this
forward
to
our
next
regular
city
council
meeting
that
this
item
be
placed
on
the
agenda
as
a
special
order
of
business.
K
A
A
I
think
we
definitely
definitely
should
not
vote
tonight
on
an
issue
of
this
importance
when
the
agenda
says
for
discussion
and
there's,
I
believe
at
this
time
only
six
council
members
left,
but
I
think
I
think
the
great
thing
is,
I
believe,
nine
voting
members
of
city
council
and
I
all
support
this
level
of
funding
for
this
kind
of
work.
You
know
the
question
just
is
how
many
what
work
needs
to
be
done
to,
for
example,
integrate
these
recommendations
with
the
recommendations
of
the
violence
prevention
working
groups
that
you
sit
on?
A
So
you
know,
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
this
this
type
of
initiative,
I
think,
has
universal
support
and
I
think,
as
soon
as
people
feel
ready
to
to
vote,
we
should
do
that.
But
if
you
want
to
certainly
take
a
vote
now
to
ensure
that
it
appears
on
the
january
10th
agenda,
irrespective
of
other
considerations,
that's
obviously
something
we
can
do.
M
Mr
mayor
I'd
like
to
well,
I
haven't
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
yet,
but
I
will
second
council
member
reid.
I
did
come
here
ready
to
vote
and
take
action
on
this.
This
issue
again
to
everyone,
that's
paying
attention.
This
is
it's
it's
a
budget
and
a
lot
of
this
will
go
into
effect
next
year,
the
source
for
those
of
you
that
are
on
the
call
it's
coming
from
our
funds.
I
couldn't
think
of
a
better
fund
to
pull
this
money
from
and
I'm
willing
to.
Second
it
and
so
that'll
be
first.
A
Course
so
you're
gonna
be
called
on
next,
because
you're,
the
only
person
who
hasn't
spoken,
who's
requesting
to
speak,
but
so
councilmember
reed
moves
to
place
a
special
order
of
business
on
the
agenda
for
january
10th
on
the
topic
of
sp2
today,
council
member
braithwaite
seconds,
I
don't
think
we
need
to
discuss
well.
Does
anyone
wanna
the
various
hands
that
are
up?
Does
anyone
wanna
speak
to
the
motion?
AG
I
just
think
in
terms
of
order,
it
would
be
great
to
hear
from
everyone
first
so
because
there
may
be
some,
you
know
some
changes,
even
if
that
was
to
increase
funding
in
certain
areas.
So
well
just
I.
AG
A
I
mean
I
don't
what
I
think
council
member
reed
is
achieving,
is
making
sure
this
item
is
on
the
agenda.
There's
nothing
that
would
stop
us
from
amending
it.
You
know
I
do
not.
I
think
it
would
be
a
mistake
to
lock
folks
into
voting
up
or
down
on
exactly
this
on
january
10th.
I
think
the
point
is
we
want.
You
know,
I
believe,
councilman
wants
the
conversation
to
move
forward
and
doesn't
want
folks
to
be
worried.
A
K
Yes,
that
is
exactly
the
intention.
Certainly
even
the
motion
I
think
after
this
vote
is
taken.
Discussion
is
still
in
order
for
this
for
this
item,
so
yeah,
certainly
not
looking
to
cut
off
debate
at
all
either
agreed.
C
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
yeah,
that
being
the
objective
council
member
reid,
I'm
fully
supportive
of
moving
this
discussion
forward.
I
don't
want
to
foreclose
the
possibility
of
incorporating
some
of
the
concepts
that
were
in
the
memo
we
received
today
from
the
reimagining
public
safety
committee.
You
know,
I
think
this
is
an
all
of
the
above
approach
and
what's
in
the
memo
in
our
packet
tonight
is
part
of
of
a
very
important
program,
but
maybe
not
all
of
it,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
we
do
have
the
opportunity
to
discuss.
A
Be
done
great,
so
what
I'd
like
to
do
now
is
go
to
a
motion.
A
vote
on
console
number
reads:
motion
at
the
end
of
which
we'll
go
to
council
member
bracelet
for
his
first
time
speaking.
I.
W
W
A
With
six
voting
in
favor
and
two
and
what
and
nobody
voting
against,
obviously
the
motion
passes
and
there
will
be
a
special
order
of
business
on
the
january
10th
agenda.
Returning
to
council
member
reed.
K
Yes,
just
to
to
wrap
up,
I
will
say
you
know
one.
There
are
some
changes
that
I'd
like
to
see
here:
I'd
love
to
see
an
increase
in
funding,
particularly
for
for
services
such
as
child
care.
K
I
would
love
to
see
that
incorporated
in
and
also
to
the
point
I
have
seen
the
email
going
around
from
the
committee
that
I
also
sit
on
the
am
on
all
of
the
re-managing
police
committees
in
some
regard,
but
I'm
loosely
involved
in
the
in
the
violence
prevention
group-
and
you
know,
there's
an
eighth
water
there,
evangeline
cmark,
who
is
really
taking
leadership
there,
along
with
a
professor,
proper,
christos,
complimentary
fleming
as
well,
and
so
I
certainly
think
you
know
being
aware
of
where
that
group
is
I'd.
K
Love
to
see
those
suggestions
incorporated
in
as
well
I'd
really
love
to
see.
You
know,
I
think
we're
achieving
it
here,
but
you
know
more
kind
of
expressively,
naming
it
there's
a
program
out
of
oakland
california,
where
they
took
the
you
know,
folks
in
their
community.
K
I
think
another
community
was
the
50
people
who
were
most
likely
to
be
shot
or
to
shoot
someone
and
enrolled
them
in
a
program
where
they
received
a
stipend,
and
that
saw
a
significant
and
that
program
has
been
around
now
for
quite
a
while
and
so
they've
seen
a
significant
reduction
in
violent
crime
as
a
result,
and
so
really
looking
to
replicate
something
like
that
here
speaking
to
points
that
were
raised
earlier
by
council,
member
kelly
and
fleming
regarding
you
know
using
some
metric
based
programming,
and
so
thank
you.
K
Thank
you
audrey
and
the
whole
team
for
this
presentation
and
for
putting
this
all
together
and
and
doing
it.
I
actually
have
very
one
quick
question
because
I
I
didn't
know
if
I
got
this
from
council
member
kelly's
question,
so
compare
2019
funding
for
your
work
to
2021
funding.
AE
So
I
can
get
you
the
actual
numbers,
but
just
a
a
small
amount
of
increase
so
now
for
2022,
we're
at
like
1.6,
so
for
the
two
years
prior
to
just
a
little
bit
less
than
that
for
each
of
those
years
now.
This
does
not
include
the
200
000
that
that
was
voted
for
the
safe
summer
initiative
for
2021..
AE
AE
This
funding
does
not
have
that
issue,
so
I
don't
see
why
there
could
not
be
black
clubs
all
over
evanston,
just
more
in
areas
that
have
a
high
propensity
to
violence.
A
M
M
As
I
said
earlier,
I
was
definitely
willing
to
support
it
tonight,
looking
forward
to
supporting
it
in
january.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge.
I
was
looking
around
the
zoom
call,
how
many
of
our
city
staff
that
we
have
tuning
in
as
well
as
members
our
police
department,
as
well
as
our
community
partners.
M
Your
presence
is
definitely
appreciated
tonight.
So
my
one
question
that
I
have
audrey
in
in
reading
through
some
of
the
the
asks
in
terms
of
the
job
positions,
what
is
our
city
of
evanston's
policy
on
marijuana
use
and
will
and
does
that
have
an
impact
on
hey?
Can
you
answer
the
question
and
b?
Will
it
have
an
impact
on
some
of
the
work
that
you're
looking
to
do
in
the
in
2022.
AE
So
definitely
thank
thanks
for
that
question.
So
I
think
this
comes
as
a
part
of
some
conversations
that
I've
had
with
council
members
about
young
people
who
I've
I've,
contacted
individuals
and
said
hey.
I
need
a
job
right
now
and
then
the
young
person
tells
us.
I
can't
pass
the
marijuana
test,
and
so
I
reached
out
to
our
interim
human
human
resources
manager
and
currently
they
are
reviewing
and
revising
the
policy
related
to
cannabis,
use
to
really
be
in
line
with.
AE
You
know
the
current
laws,
because
there
are
some
safety,
sensitive
positions
that
would
still
require
a
test
for
a
drug
test
for
marijuana,
but
know
that,
hopefully,
when
I
come
back
in
in
january,
I
will
be
able
to
definitively
answer
that
because
it
does
make
a
huge
difference
in
the
individuals
that
we
work
with.
AE
We
currently
still
have
them
placed,
and
I
also
need
you
know
so-
anybody
who's
listening
to
this
or
seeing
this
you
know,
I've
said
before.
If
you
have
a
job
and
you
are
willing
to
give-
and
we
call
it
a
second
chance
policy,
but
it
really
needs
to
be
called
a
first
chance
policy,
because
some
people
aren't
even
given
a
first
chance.
So
a
part
of
this
needs
to
be
that
we
are
strengthening.
AE
AE
M
Right
well
well,
thank
you
I'll,
just
close
by
saying,
I
know
that
I
think
I'm
still
sharing
human
services,
and
this
may
be
something
that
we
can
take
up
in
that
committee
to
review
our
policies
for
both
our
staff,
as
well
as
our
youth
moving
forward.
So
thank
you
very
much,
mr
I'm.
Gonna
have
to
fall
off
because
of
a
family
men
event,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
you
very
much
for
your
presiding
to
councilman
burton's
reid.
K
Point
of
point
of
order:
I'm
sorry
councilmember.
If
you
drop
off,
we
will
no
longer
have
reform.
A
I
think
that's
not
true.
I
think
we
have
council
members,
kelly,
nussma
burns
reed
and
fleming
plus
me
perfect.
M
Oh,
I
have,
I
have
kids
and
family
just
arrived
in
town
for
the
holiday
as
well
as
celebrating
a
birthday.
So
if
I
can
remove
myself,
I
will
and
thank
you
all
very
much-
have
a
wonderful
holiday
and
a
great
year
merry
christmas
peter.
Thank
you
very.
A
Much
so
there
are
four
people
who
are
still
requesting
to
speak
a
second
time,
beginning
with
council
member
musema.
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
given
the
hour
I
will
just,
I
will
share
some
concerns
that
I
hope
we
will
be
able
to
address
in
the
course
of
this
conversation
as
it
moves
forward
in
no
particular
order
here.
I
I
want
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
how
the
city
coordinates
the
division
of
of
labor
with
the
wraparound
services
offered
with
district
65
and
district
202
yeah.
C
C
I
also
want
to
talk
about
about
gun
control
and
I
think
we
are
not
having
a
complete
conversation
if,
if
we're
not
addressing
the
issue
of
guns
on
the
streets
directly,
and
so
one
of
the
things
I'll
be
looking
for
as
this
discussion
moves
forward
is
whatever
kind
of
quantitative
data
we
have
on
on
the
number
of
firearms
in
evanston,
you
know
both
lawfully
registered
and
unlawfully
possessed
whatever
kind
of
data
metrics.
We
have
there
as
well.
As
you
know
what
else?
C
If
anything
we
might
be
able
to
do
to,
you
know
further
restrict
the
presence
of
handguns
in
our
community,
both
lawfully
owned,
handguns
and
and
unlawfully
possessed
firearms
and,
last
but
not
least,
budgetary
issues,
and
we
have
a
great
opportunity
to
use
some
arpa
funding
to
get
this
program
moving.
C
But
let's
make
sure
we
have
a
plan
to
continue
the
programs
when
the
harvard
funds
run
out
in
a
couple
of
years.
You
know
this
work
is
so
important.
It's
going
to
need
to
continue
and,
let's
make
sure
we're
thinking
about
long-term
sources
of
financing.
A
Thank
you
councilmember
burns
technically
for
the
second
time,
but
he
spoke
for
eight
seconds.
The
first
time
so
go
ahead.
Councilmember.
AG
Yeah
just
quickly
wanted
to
respond
to
to
what
was
just
stated
about
about
cannabis
and
and
hiring
that,
as
far
as
I
understand,
there's
no
technology
right
now
that
can
accurately
say
whether
or
not
canada,
whether
or
not
somebody
is
under
the
influence
of
cannabis,
and
so
they
could
have
they
could
have
consumed
cannabis.
The
night
before
a
week
before
a
month
before
is
still
present
in
their
system
and
they're
excluded
from
job
opportunities
because
of
it.
AG
So
I
would,
I
would
love
to
take
a
look
at
it
if
that
technology
has
changed.
You
know
I'd
love
to
have
him
from
information
on
that,
but
I
don't
think
it
has
so
we'll
have
my
full
support
in
taking
a
look
at
that
as
we
look
to
to
make
sure
that
evanston
residents
have
local
opportunities
in
our
municipal
government
to
to
to
be
employed.
AG
AG
You
know
economic
development
manager,
our
bureau,
chief
and
capital
planning
and
city
engineer
at
the
city,
mayor
bis
and
interim
city
manager,
storley,
I'm
a
city
manager,
gandurski,
sorry,
audrey
thompson
and
her
team
dave
stone
back
and
on
and
on,
and
so
I
made
a
referral.
One
of
my
first
referrals
I
made
was
to
look
at
local
hiring
to
municipal
jobs.
I
agree
that
we
need
to
lead
first
on
that
and
there's
some
some
wonderful
opportunities
to
hire
locally
we've.
AG
I
think
20
something
percent
of
our
current
employees
live
in
evanston
and
I
think
we
can
do
better
than
that.
So
we're
going
to
have
a
discussion
about
that
soon
and
then-
and
hopefully,
we'll
have
something
I
know
nathan
will
have
something
to
recommend
to
the
council
at
a
later
date
and
then
I
did
have
an
opportunity
to
look
at
the
the
memo
that
was
sent
to
us
from
the.
AG
I
think
it's
called
violence
prevention
working
group,
which
is
a
working
group
of
the
reimagining
public
safety
committee,
and
so
I
wanted
to
respond
in
line
to
some
of
those
comments,
and
so
one
of
the
first
things
it
called
attention
to
was
to
expand
the
importance
to
expand
outreach
overall
and
outreach
to
to
older
residents.
Is
you
know,
26
29
20
between
26
and
29
years
old?
AG
I
think
we've
heard
today
that
this,
what
is
being
proposed
by
the
youth
and
young
adult
team
is
to
expand
the
age
in
both
directions
so
as
young
as
11
all
the
way
to
29
years
of
age.
So
I
think
that
adequately
addresses
one
of
the
recommendations
that
was
called
out
in
that
memo.
The
other
thing
I
think
is
is
also
addressed.
Is
they
talked
about
adding
an
additional
outreach
worker?
So
I
think
that
also
addresses
the
the
concern
about
there
not
being
enough
focus
on
on
outreach.
AG
There's
a
a
four-time
position
that
is
requested
at
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
will
put
another
person
on
our
team
to
to
work
with
young
people
and
and
young
adults
to
address
harm
and
to
connect
them
with
not
only.
A
AG
Services
but
services
around
the
community
offered
by
organizational
partners.
Another
comment
was
the
working
group,
the
development
of
more
specific
street
neighborhood,
based
outreach,
focusing
on
those
most
likely
involved
in
violence.
AG
I
think
we've
heard
several
times
tonight
that
that
is
exactly
what
this
recommendation
calls
for
is
to
put
money
in
the
pockets
of
people
who
are
directly
harmed
by
violence,
not
just
gun
violence,
but
violence
of
all
kind
and
to
put
them
in
a
position
where
they
can
lead
in
this
work,
and
I
think
that
again
has
been
fully
expressed
today
by
audrey
and
her
team.
It
also.
N
AG
About
hiring
of
hiring
and
training
individuals
most
impacted
about
violence.
To
do
this
work
again,
we've
heard
that
that's
exactly
what
one
of
the
recommendations
is.
It
talks
about
a
more
comprehensive
programming
around
outreach
efforts
specifically
geared
towards
this
population,
including
case
management,
educational,
therapeutic
services.
To
the
point
of
case.
AG
Me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
the
current
outreach
team
does
currently
provides
case
management
for
everton
residents,
and
so
I
think
currently
we
are
focused
on
providing
case
management.
Updating
those
files
working
on
you
know,
support
plans
or
life
plans.
AG
They
have
different
names
depending
on
the
organization,
and
so
I
think
those
things
are
currently
in
practice
today,
with
outreach
team,
the
educational
therapeutic
services,
I've
been
happy
to
to
partner
with
the
the
mental
health
task
force
recently
to
visit
what
they
call
living
rooms
which
provide
kind
of
mental
health
treatment
and
support
and
other
related
programs.
We've
now
visited
a
living
room
in
skokie.
AG
We
went
to
one
in
wheaton
and
I
think
that
is,
I
think,
I
think,
providing
a
living
room
in
evanston.
Locating.
AG
AG
One
of
the
things
that
we
heard
today
from
a
representative
at
the
living
room
in
wheaton
is
that
one
of
the
biggest
costs
to
locating
a
living
room
in
a
city
is
not
the
peer
supporters,
which
is
more
so
folks
who
have
lived
experience
dealing
with
the
the
relevant
trauma,
but
to
hire
a
clinician
and-
and
so
I
think,
because
we
already
have
that
position
if
there's
a
way
to
locate
that
person
in
the
living
room
or
at
least
in
a
facility,
that's
near
the
living
room.
AG
There's
some
there's
some
ways
that
that
we
can
save
costs
as
we
think
about
having
a
living
room
here
in
the
city.
So
I
think
that's
how
that
those
two
can
kind
of
play
play
play
well
together
and.
AG
I
think
the
last
thing
I
just
want
to
touch
on
is
it
talks
about
developing
a
new
unit,
and
so
I
chair
the
rethinking
the
organizational
structure
working
group,
which
is
a
working
group
of
the
reimagining
public
safety
committee
and
that's
exactly
what
we're
looking
at
there's
a
model
that
a
city
of
minnesota,
brookline
minnesota
is
working
on
to
create
this
new
department
and
under
it
would
be
the
police
and
fire
department's,
two
new
new
departments,
one
being
a
community
response
to
the
department
which
is
similar
to
the
discussions.
AG
We've
had
around
kind
of
alternative
alternative
response
teams
that
can
go
out
and
a
lot
more
mobile
and
can
address
crisis.
So
I
think
those
are
the
conversations
we're
having
right
now
at
the
working
group
level
and
we
will
be
prepared
to
make
those
recommendations
in
the
next
several
months
and
and
then
the
last
thing
I
want
to
call
attention
to
is
one
of
their
recommendations
talked
about
a
program
called
choose
to
change
as
a
model
that
we
should
take
a
look
at
and
just
on
that,
I'm
on
their
website.
AG
Now,
just
looking
at
it.
I
think
the
only
thing
that
it
isn't
that
we
are
currently
doing
potentially-
or
I
don't
see
in
the
recommendation-
is
it
says
around
the
clock,
support
and
crisis
intervention,
and
and
so
as
a
question
to
audrey
and
her
team,
you
know
we
know
calls
can
come
in
pretty
late.
You
know,
crisis
can
happen
at
all
times.
Do
we
have
anything
in
place
currently
for
crisis
that
happen?
You
know
in
the
early
mornings
or,
for
example,.
AE
So
then
it
wouldn't
be
oversized
because
he's
now
the
supervisor,
but
yes,
so
he
would
be
able
to
go
out
and
then
to
dispatch
any
of
our
outreach
team.
But
I
think
we
got
to
have
a
larger
discussion
as
to
what
we're
responding
to,
and
so
I
think
that
you
know
offline,
you
and
I
any
other
council
member
can
discuss
that.
But
I
think
we've
got
to
kind
of
talk
about
because
there
have
been
so
many
discussions
about
what
we
are
responding
to
in
lieu
of
law
enforcement.
AE
And
so
I
think
that
really
we
really
need
to
have
a
larger
discussion
about
that.
AG
A
Thank
you
next
with
just
a
couple
minutes
left
is
council
member
kelly.
D
Great,
thank
you
so
yeah.
I
just
want
to
say
all
these.
I
think
all
the
proposals
look
solid
and,
of
course,
I'd
be.
You
know
amenable
to
to
spending
two
or
three
times
or
whatever.
We
need
to
spend
to
have
a
positive
impact
on
on
our
on
our
youth
and
in
this
town.
But
I
do
I
do
want
to
concur
with
alderman
newsman
and,
and
it
would
be.
I
think
it
is
important,
because
this
is
a
based
on
this
is
going
to
be.
This
initial
effort
will
come
entirely
out
of
arpa.
D
I
would
just
like
to
know
that
we're
looking
at
some
long-term
funding
options
so
that
we
can
see
those
and
we
can
plan
for
it,
so
that
this
does
this
program
does
continue
and
and
strengthens
over
the
years
without
us
hitting
roadblocks,
because
we
haven't
thought
through
the
funding
and
how
that's
going
to
work,
and
I
also
think
it's
important
for
all
of
us.
D
You
know
the
accountability
piece
if
it
would
be
possible
for
that
january,
10th,
meeting
to
have
sort
of
a
comparison
chart
so
that
we
can
understand
the
costs
of
what
it's
what's
being
carried
out.
Right
now
with
the
1.6
million
and
why
we're
coming
up
short
and
what
we
need
the
money
for.
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
to
understand
just
to
ensure
you
know
so
that
we
can
all
wrap
our
heads
around
where
the
money's
needed
in
order
to
really
create
a
more
supportive
system
for
our
youth
in
evanston.
A
Thank
you
and
then
with
just
a
few
moments.
Left
is
councilmember
fleming.
AI
Yeah,
so
if
I
can
just
for
staff,
have
a
couple
suggestions
that
we
can
have
on
the
memo
for
january,
although
councilmember
burns
went
through
the
memo,
I
think
it
would
just
be.
AI
You
know
good
practice,
since
we
brought
these
folks
together,
they
met
for
months
about
their
recommendations
that
we
have
them
come
and
expound
on
them.
I
don't
think
we
should
try
to
just
use
their
memo
to.
You
know
again
back
to
people's
comment
about
listening
to
public,
because
I
know
even
in
that
conversation
which
maybe
is
not
in
that
memo,
let's
talk
about
violence
reduction.
You
know
you
know
to
the
victim
right,
so
there's
violence
that
happens
to
the
victim.
AI
I
know
I
was
pointing
it
out
that
when
evangeline's
son
of
course
was
murdered-
and
I
was
part
of
the
council-
we
went
to
the
block
where
he
was
murdered
and
talked
to
those
people,
but
we
never
went
to
the
block
where
she
lived
to
talk
to
her
neighbors
about
how
they
experienced
violence
of
losing
him.
AI
So
I
think
there
are
some
things
we
should
talk
through
or
hear
from
about
this
committee,
so
if
they
can
maybe
come
if
they're
available
in
january
10th
also
in
terms
of
the
workforce
stuff-
and
I
think
also
bobby
brought
this
up-
and
I
wanted
to
see
if
we
could
have
more
information-
we
were,
you
know,
told
that
nathan
was
going
to
be
the
new
workforce
development.
So
I
know
this
proposal
talks
about
some
workforce
opportunities
too.
AI
So
I
would
love
to
have
some
clarity
between
you
know
the
new
workforce,
development
and
this
you
know
new
proposal
for
workforce
development
and
how
we're
going
to
make
sure
we're
using
our
dollars
appropriately.
I
think
bobby's
point
about
drug
testing
was
spot
on
and
bobby
we've
mentioned
this.
You
know,
unfortunately,
for
years
again
in
hr,
we
didn't
really
get
anywhere
about
drug
testing
and
how
you
know
some
drugs
are
anyway.
AI
We
need
to
have
a
longer
conversation
about
that
and
maybe
audrey
I
don't
know
if
that's
for
january
10th
or
just
kind
of
further
down
the
line
and
then
also
just
for
the
arbor
funds,
if
we
could
have
it,
maybe
it
was
in
the
memo.
I
think
I
missed
it,
but
just
like,
where
would
bucket
this
would
come
out
of,
I
think
for
the
public,
that's
good
to
know.
AI
We
talked
a
lot
about
opera
spending
and
having
a
plan,
and
we
still
don't
really
have
one
so
good
if
we
can
kind
of
lay
out
where
and
our
money
this
is
coming
from.
So
we
can
just
kind
of
subtract
from
that.
If
this
is
what
we
decide
to
move
forward
in
will
be
helpful,
so
those
are
kind
of
the
three
things
that
I
would
love
to
have
more
information
about
on
january
10th.
That
is
when
this
is
going
to
be
up
for
a
discussion.
AI
I
realize
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
kind
of
make
a
plan
that
maybe
covers
everything,
but
I
think
it's
important,
we
kind
of
know
what
other
things
are
out
there
in
the
ethernet
and
then
just
to
fill
in
the
people
who
are
listening,
councilman,
rabist
and
autumn
ravel,
and
I
have
been
working
with
the
media
to
try
to
get
the
living
room
open.
It's
been
part
of
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
coming
out
of
the
alternatives.
911
committee
there's
also
a
response
team.
That's
starting
to
work
in
emerson
already.
AI
AI
When
is
the
appropriate
time
to
do
that,
but
we
should
probably
have
an
update-
or
I
can
give
one
a
balcony
of
one
about
that
just
so,
we
don't
have
different
pockets
of
the
city
kind
of
working
on
the
same
thing,
without
knowing
what
what
is
happening
there
because
the
living
room
we
hope
to
get
open.
AG
Quickly
respond
directly
to
that,
so
we
have
chris
christopher
bayer,
who
is
the
clinical
director
for
trilogy
behavior
of
health's
new
model
crisis
response
program
he
reached
out
to
me
and
said:
the
state
of
illinois
is
going
to
provide
24,
7,
365
mobile
in-person
psychiatric
crisis
support
and
that,
as
you
said,
council
member
flynn
fleming
that
trilogy
is
assigned
to
to
work
with
community
members
in
evanston.
AG
So
I
invited
him
out
to
the
next
rethinking
the
organizational
structure
meeting,
which
is,
I
think,
tomorrow
at
7pm
and
so
he's
going
to
provide
an
update
on
that
and
then
and
again
we're
touring
the
picking
up
on
on
the
work
that
you
started
and
councilmember
revell
we've
been
going
out,
touring
the
different
sites
and
I'm
living
rooms
and
I'm
sure
that'll
culminate
in
some
rfp.
That
goes
out
because
it's
not
just
there's
a
few
different
organizations
that
do
it.
There's
jocelyn
center,
there's
there's
turning
point.
AG
AI
But
that's
what
I
mean.
I
think
we-
and
this
is
another
meeting,
but
we
we
met
with
trilogy
last
week
to
get
updated
on
what
they're
doing
and
then
we
also
have
met
with
amita
about
an
actual
space.
We
maybe
could
use
and
met
with
all
those
folks.
You
talked
about
already
about
what
would
be
in
that
rfp,
so
just
so
daniel
you
can
take
it
from
there,
but
I
think
we're
doing
the
same
work
without
coordination.
AG
A
I
think
we're
sort
of
spinning
out
of
control
here,
a
little
bit
council
members,
kelly
and
reed
both
raise
their
hands
again.
Councilmember
kelly
has
a
few
seconds
left,
councilman
reed
definitely
doesn't
but
I'll.
Let
him
speak
for
a
bit,
but
I
just
want
to
reign
it
in
a
little
bit
for
folks
attention
spans.
Frankly,
given
the
importance
of
the
topic
good
council
member.
D
So
very
quickly,
I
was
I've
also
heard
about
apps,
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
can
make
how
we
can
make
this
super
accessible
to
all
youth,
so,
as
a
teacher
would
be
great
every
year,
I'm
just
thinking
you
know
if
every
student
was
able
to
download
an
app
for
you
know
like
a
let's
talk.
I've
seen
this
in
other
towns
so
that
everybody
has
easy
access
to
get
to
get
to
get
help
or
to
get
help
for
a
friend
at
risk.
D
So
I
would
just
ask
that
too,
if
we
can,
when
you
come
back
on
the
10th,
if
there's,
if
you
could
maybe
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
about
ways
for
our
youth
to
reach
out
really
really
easy
accessible
ways.
Thank
you.
A
Beautiful,
thank
you
yeah,
just
just
quickly
as
we
wrap,
you
know,
there's
been
I'll,
say
the
council,
member
fleming
and
rebel,
and
I
have
made
it,
I
think,
really
exciting
progress
in
the
living
room
issue
and
it's
great
that
there's
there's
such
broad
interest
in
it
there's,
as
councilmember
fleming
indicated,
a
location
that
seems
very,
very
promising
a
partnership
with
the
media,
and
I
think
it
would
probably
make
sense
to
have
a
full
update
on
that
on
the
january
10th
meeting
as
well.
A
Given
the
the
connection
with
this
topic,
so
I
can
I
can
commit
to
giving
up
that
update.
I
just
wanna
just
real
quickly.
Just
wanna
add
you
know,
I
think
we
heard
a
lot
of
incredibly
promising
and
important
stuff
tonight
and,
as
I
indicated
earlier,
I
think
there's
universal
support
for
spending
these
resources
on
these
priorities.
It's
just
there's
just
nothing,
that's
important
and
and
we're
all
there
unanimously.
I
think
the
the
only
challenge
is
we
don't
have
enough.
A
I
think
I
think
you
know
the
reformation
was
emailed
to
us
and
was
read
out
earlier,
making
sure
that
the
violence
prevention
working
group
of
the
reimagining
public
safety
committee
doesn't
is
simply
at
the
table
and
and
making
sure
that
those
those
recommendations
are
being
incorporated
as
we
move
forward,
but
also
utilizing
the
expertise
that
we
have.
You
know.
So
you
know
we've
heard
about
professor
papakristos
from
northwestern.
I
also
met
yesterday
with
rosanna
anders
she's,
the
executive
director
of
the
uchicago
crime
lab.
You
know
these.
A
A
They
happen
to
be
eths
parents,
they
happen
to
be
willing
to
donate
their
their
time
and
the
time
of
their
staff
and
we're
already
in
processed
getting
an
mou
in
place
for
data
sharing
with
epd
and
these
educational
institutions,
and
I
just
think
that
any
data
analysis
we
can
bring
to
ensure
that
we
are
spending
every
dime
in
the
most
efficient
way
possible
is
going
to
be
critical
because
we're
just
not
going
to
have
enough
for
any
of
our
points
of
view,
and
the
last
thing
I
want
to
say
is:
I
also
today
spoke
with
charisse
williams
from
the
illinois
criminal
justice
information
authority,
and
they
are
going
to
be
using
some
of
their
arp
allotment
to
balance
prevention
programs,
specifically
in
gap
areas
which
say
the
the
regions
of
the
state
that
they
don't
ordinarily
fund
all
the
time
and
so
again,
there's
a
great
opportunity
for
us
here
to
access
some
of
those
resources
as
well.
A
If
we're
all
collaborating
to
get
together
if
we're
all
on
the
same
page,
and
if
we
have
real
data
to
back
up
over
what
we're
gonna
do.
So
I
just
think
there's.
This
is
an
incredible
need.
A
It's
a
tragedy
that
we're
having
this
conversation
because
of
what
occurred
on
november
28th,
but
that
also
places
a
solemn
responsibility
on
all
of
us
to
do
everything
everything
as
well
as
we
can
as
efficiently
as
we
can
and
as
coordinated
away
as
possible,
so
that
we
prevent
future
conversations
like
this
from
having
to
occur.
For
this
reason,
so
with
that,
I
really
really
appreciate
the
extraordinary
work
done
by
staff.
A
I
look
forward
to
the
next
steps
on
this
and
to
to
supporting
you
and
your
effort
to
provide
these
critical
services
for
our
community,
and
that
brings
us
to
call
the
awards,
beginning
with
council
member
kelly.
A
AG
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
invite
phil
four
residents
out
and
believe
in
the
broader
community
out
to
the
next
field,
for
a
meeting
will
be
on
the
30th
of
this
month:
7
p.m.
You
can
find
the
virtual
link
on
the
city
of
evanston's
website
and
under
the
calendar.
Thank
you.
K
Okay,
yeah,
I
just
briefly
want
to
as
always
announce
we
just
had
our
eighth
award
meeting
last
week.
So
a
really
good
discussion
there
folks
are
excited
for
for
this
discussion
that
we
had
here
tonight
as
well
as
continuing
city
managers
search.
K
Our
next
ward
meeting
will
be
january
28th,
so
we
are
returning
to
the
normal
schedule
of
having
award
meetings
on
the
fourth
thursday.
I'm
sorry,
it's
just
the
27th,
not
the
28th,
the
4th
thursday
of
every
month
at
6,
00
p.m.
So,
looking
forward
to
seeing
residents
there,
oh-
and
I
do
also
want
to
announce-
I
have
a
resident
in
as
a
result
of
that
ward.
K
Me
there's
a
resident
here
in
the
eighth
ward,
linda
carter,
who
I'm
gonna,
share
this
flyer
with
my
colleagues
here
as
well
as
the
city,
but
she
wants
to
participate
in
a
luminaires
project,
which
is
you
know,
turning
on
to
build
a
sense
of
community
and
belonging
a
sense
of
community,
particularly
after
the
the
tragedy
that
we
are
collectively
facing
with
the
shooting
and
then
the
the
you
know,
follow-up
to
that
with
weapons
being
found
in
the
high
school.
K
So
the
idea
is
that
for
a
number
of
days,
I'll
send
all
the
details
out
to
folks
they're
supposed
to
flip
on
their
porch
lights,
between
a
certain
time
as
a
sense
of
of
unity
and
lighting
up
the
community
and
use
little
tea
lights
to
set
out
and
find
a
house.
And
so
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
beautiful
idea
and
I
think
it
culminates
in
a
single
day
event
a
church
near
the
civic
centers
participating
in
this
as
well.
AI
Yeah
one
thank
you
to
my
peers,
thank
you
to
the
ninth
ward
residents
and
city
staff
who
reached
out
regarding
the
loss
of
my
mother.
I
will
just
say
it's
a
huge
loss
for
everyone
who
knew
her.
It
also
is
maybe
a
huge
relief
for
everybody
who
knew
her
because
she
could
be
quite
a
pain
in
the
ass,
but
we
loved
her.
I
will
say
you
know,
watching
her
die
of
cobit
was
quite
hard.
AI
She
spent
three
weeks
alone
in
the
hospital
which
was
not
ideal
so
for
anyone
who
has
not
been
vaccinated.
I
would
just
implore
you
to
to
do
so
or
to
think
more
about
it.
It
is
you
know
I've
not
had
to
watch
many
people
die,
but
that
was
that
was
you
know.
AI
You
know
it
was
very
unpleasant
and
I
will
say
in
her
honor
that
she
was
regretful
that
she
did
not.
You
know,
choose
to
get
the
vaccine,
so
you
know.
Hopefully
you
know
her.
Life
was
not
being
vain
in
that
way,
that
other
people
can
just
take
our
family
experience
and
and
think
more
seriously
about
getting
the
vaccine,
particularly
as
we
you
know
know,
the
numbers
are
rising,
which
is
why
we're
back
onto
the
virtual
space
right
now
that
we
would
just
you
know
it's
very
serious.
So
I
would.
AI
I
would
wait
for
someone
else
to
have
to
go
through
that
with
that
I
have
another
announcement,
so
I'm
going
to
read
it
because
it's
kind
of
a
little
longer
so
with
the
death
of
my
mom
as
death
always
does
it
reminds
me
has
reminded
me
that
life
is
very
short.
I
think
we
forget
that,
because
we
are
busy
living
and
no
one
thinks
about
when
they're
gonna
die.
My
mother
was
a
fighter
many
times
she
fought
really
just
for
her
own
basic
needs
or
the
needs
of
other
people.
AI
You
know
more
recently,
as
she
was
a
senior
she
was
fighting
for
safe
senior
housing
which
she
did
have,
but
she
knew
there
was
not
enough
of
it.
You
know
I
am
privileged
to
know
that
I'm
a
manifestation
of
my
mother's
dreams,
I
have
financial
privileges
that
she
did
not
have.
AI
I
am
able
to
work
in
spaces.
She
was
not
able
to.
I
don't
take
that
lightly
at
all,
but
what
I
do
know
is
that
what
my
mother
wanted
for
me,
what
she
did
not
have
for
herself
was
really
a
chance
to
rest
and
do
things
that
she
enjoyed.
So
she
really
fought
to
her
last
breath
for
things
that
she
really
saw
as
social
justice
issues,
which
I
think
we
would
all
agree,
and
you
know
I
want
to
spend
my
time
doing
the
same.
AI
I
think
what
I
realized
from
my
mother's
death
and
what
I
realized
for
myself,
is
that
while
I
love
city
of
evanston,
I
don't
love
my
role
at
city
council.
I
joined
city
council
to
really
improve
the
city
in
the
way
I,
which
I
thought
that
I
could
do
and
I've
had
some
successes,
but
ultimately
this
position
has
become
more,
I
think,
harmful
to
my
health
than
joyful
to
me
and
while
I
know
that
no
advocacy
is
necessarily
always
full
of
joy,
I've
decided
that
this
one
is
just
too
difficult.
AI
So
I
love
evanston.
It's
the
home
of
my
ancestors.
People
know
that
my
family
has
been
here
since
the
late
1800s
and
I'm
the
fourth
generation
to
serve
this
city,
because
that
is
how
we
were
raised,
but
to
honor
my
mother
to
honor
myself
to
keep
my
integrity,
keep
my
sanity,
I'm
going
to
be
stepping
down
from
city
council,
so
I
will
be
leaving
at
the
end
of
january.
AI
My
goal
is
to
get
us
through
the
city
council
manager,
search,
because
I
know
that
that's
super
important.
Hopefully
we
can
choose
a
candidate
by
then
I
realize
I
leave
guaranteed
income
on
the
table,
which
is
another
project
that
I'm
super
passionate
about.
So
hopefully
I
can
work
to
keep
that
going
as
a
citizen
we're
in
the
hopefully
final
stages.
AI
We're
working
with
the
researchers
out
in
northwestern
to
get
that
piece
solidified,
so
we
can
go
ahead
and
start
giving
out
money
but
being
on
this
role
is
just
not
beneficial
to
me
and
my
family
anymore
and
again.
I
realized
that
the
job
of
service
certainly
did
not
sign
up
for
the
paycheck
or
for
the
ease
of
the
position,
but
you
know,
as
I
said,
you
know,
definitely
gives
you
clarity,
and
this
is
something
I've
been
thinking
about
for
a
while
and
realize
you
know
I
don't
know
how
long
I
have
so.
AI
I
want
to
spend
my
time
doing
things
that
I
love,
even
if
they're
things
that
are
hard,
I'm
in
a
space
that
nurtures
my
spirit
and
that
allows
me
to
be
fully
whole
and
you
know
seen
and
heard,
and
I
just
I
don't
think
this
is
a
space
for
me
to
do
that
anymore.
So
I
wanted
to
let
my
council
peers
know.
I
will
send
out
a
letter
to
my
ward
tomorrow.
AI
I
did
speak
to
the
mayor,
so
it
is
his,
I
guess,
by
city
code
or
state
law
or
whatever,
but
it's
his
duty
to
select
my
replacement.
So
he
and
I
will
work
together
to
make
sure
there
is
as
public
of
a
process
as
possible
for
that
I've
always
told
my
ward,
that
you
know
democracy
is
only
as
good
as
people
who
participate.
So
hopefully
people
have
been
thinking
about
participating,
I've
always
told
them.
AI
I
would
not
be
here
forever
and
while
I
love
them
and
it
has
been
great
to
serve
the
board,
it
is
time
for
me
to
move
on
so
daniel
and
I
will
be
sending
out
more
information
about
you
know
what
that
process
looks
like
and
when
that
process
will
start
and
so
that
the
ninth
award
can
be
fully
represented
when
I
step
off
next
year
and
then
oh,
my
last
statement
was
to
do
with
our
zoom
bombing,
so
hopefully
we'll
have
better
parameters
in
place
for
our
last
zoom
meeting
in
june.
AI
Not
just
excuse
me
january
luke
has
reached
out
about
some
better
parameters,
so
hopefully
that
does
not
continue
to
happen
in
our
war
meeting
but
as
the
night
board
always
shows
that
they
are
up
for
the
task,
and
so
they
always
join
back
on.
And
so,
if
it
does
happen,
we'll
just
join
back
on
and
have
our
meeting.
A
Thank
you
councilmember.
I
I
know
you
weren't,
you
know
hoping
for
for
speeches,
but
I
just
I
just
can't
let
this
go
without
thanking
you
for
your
your
service,
your
insight.
A
You
know,
I
don't
think
anybody
who's
ever
seen.
You
for
two
seconds
would
be
surprised
about
your
brilliance
or
your
toughness,
but
what
I
didn't
necessarily
expect
to
find
when
I
joined
this
body
was
your
friendship,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
it's
meant
a
lot
to
me
personally,
as
I've
tried
to
learn
how
to
do
this
job
and
if
your
reasons
for
leaving
or
anything
other
than
what
they
are,
which
I
consider
to
be
pretty
sacred,
I
would
be
doing
everything
I
possibly
could
to
convince
you
to
stay.
A
But
out
of
respect
for
what
you
said
and
your
your
commitment
to
yourself,
I
just
I
just
simply
want
to
say
thank
you
for
everything
that
you've
done
for
this
city
and
and
and
for
for
me,
and
I
know
you're
not
moving
anywhere
so
not
gonna,
say
I'm
gonna
miss
you,
but
I'm
definitely
gonna
miss
you
on
monday
evenings
more
than
I
can
possibly
articulate.
A
And
I
so
everyone's
hands
going
up
now
I'll.
Just
I
I
I
guess
my
inclination
is
to
call
on
folks
because
I
think
folks
have
a
lot
of
strong
feelings
about
what
you've
done
in
the
city.
So
I'm
going
to
call
on
folks
and
if
you
want
to
overrule
me,
that's
you're
right,
but
for
now
I'm
going
to
go
in
order.
The
folks
raise
their
hands
nathan,
followed
by
councilmember
reed.
AJ
Thank
you,
I'm
a
mayor,
I'll,
be
extremely
brief,
but
I
wanted
to,
and
this
is
nathan
norman
workforce
development
coordinator.
I
just
wanted
to
say
councilmember
fleming.
I
truly
appreciate
your
service
over
the
years.
I
appreciate
what
you've
meant
to
the
evanston
community.
You
will
be
truly
missed.
I
look
forward
to
just
seeing
you
around
the
town,
but
your
work
here
has
been
both
efficacious
and
prodigious.
AJ
You
embody
what
a
council
member
should
be
and
is
I
respect
you
on
multiple
levels,
and
I
wish
you
well
sorry
for
your
loss
and
evaston.
The
community
of
everson
has
truly
appreciated
you
and
benefited
from
your
services.
Thank
you
and
be
well
council.
K
I'll
be
really
short
as
well,
but
I
just
want
to
add
my
voice
to
saying
thank
you
for
your
service.
Councilmember
fleming,
you
know
during
my
time,
both
as
a
councilmember
you've
been
a
really
great
partner.
K
I'm
gonna
miss
sitting
next
to
you,
and
you
know,
having
you
nudge
me
every
so
often
to
say
you
know,
cut
it,
so
I'm
gonna
miss
that
and
but
I
just
also
wanna,
you
know
publicly
add
my
condolences
to
you
and
your
family,
your
your
mom
with
someone
who
belonged
to
the
you
know
entire
community,
just
as
you
belong
to
the
entire
community
of
many
members
of
your
family
because
of
your
service
and
her
service,
and
I
just
still
remember
the
first
day
that
your
mom
walked
into
my
office
and
you
know,
was
just
a
a
lightning
rod
for
advocacy
and
you
were
certainly
a
manifestation
of
that
as
well.
K
So
thank
you
and
I'm
hoping
that
I
can
still
call
you
sometimes
particularly
on
issues,
maybe
I'll.
Let
you
keep
your
sanity
and
won't
reach
out,
but
I
certainly
I
hope
I
can
still
rely
on
your
wisdom
from
time
to
time,
particularly
regarding
issues
relating
to
mental
health
and
social
services.
So
thank
you
for
everything.
You've
done.
B
Hi
councilmember
fleming-
I
am
very
selfishly
saddened
because
you
are
my
council
member
and
I
know
how
efficient
and
effective
you
are
in
our
award
and
how
much
people
love
you.
One
of
the
reasons
why
I
have
stayed
in
the
ninth
word
is
because
you're
here,
I've
always
felt
like
you've
represented
me.
Well,
have
heard
feedback
from
us
as
community
members
and
the
people
you
represent
very
well
and
have
always
engaged
in
probably
the
only
one
of
the
only
council
members
that
sends
out
a
a
really
good
newsletter.
B
Sometimes
we
don't
even
attend
the
meetings
because
we
get
everything
we
need
from
that
newsletter.
Thank
you
so
much
for
every
single
thing
that
you've
done
for
us
for
our
families,
for
I'm
gonna
say
especially
the
latino
community.
I
don't
think
anyone
on
council
has
been
as
effective
as
reaching
out
to
that
community.
Like
you
have
you
attend
the
monthly
immigration
and
first
generation
undocumented
family
monthly
meetings
that
were
put
together
during
the
pandemic?
You're
the
only
council
member
who
actively
engages
with
the
latino
community
and
actively
attends
those
meetings.
B
I
truly
truly
appreciate
you
for
trying
to
work
with
every
corner
of
our
community
and
especially
those
communities
who
haven't
had
an
opportunity
to
be
about
involved
in
the
city
in
the
past.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
service,
I'm
truly
really
gonna
miss
miss
you.
As
my
council
member.
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
I
just
want
to
say
to
council
member
fleming
well.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
the
courtesy
you
extended
me
as
well
as
the
other
newly
elected
officials.
C
Before
we
were
sworn
into
office.
You
know
already
helping
us
out
and
and
giving
us
some
some
some
pointers
and
hopefully
starting
us
in
the
right
direction.
You
had
already
served
as
it's
kind
of
a
role
model
for
me
in
terms
of
public
engagement
with
your
newsletters
and
and
your
ward
meetings,
just
as
clerk
mendoza
just
just
mentioned,
so
you
are
stepping
down
from
a
position
where
you
have
really
provided

myself.

Sorry,

camera
on.
Thank
you
mayor
for

me

speak
from
the
community.
I
am
cecily.
I
am
I'm
having
all
these
memories
on

your

edna
to
your
mom
marcia,
and
then
you

good
start.
O
Good

the
expectation
it
was
just
going
to
happen,
so
we
knew
that.
I
know

that's
just
been
appreciated
by
the
community.
O
Just
want
to
thank
you
for
the

and
you

to
do
what
we

for
us.
I
tell
everyone,
you

when
it's
time
you
know
what
you
have
to
do
for
yourself,
so
I
congratulate
you
for
taking
care
of
you
for
making
sure
that
you
do
that.
Your
mom
was
a
and
she
could
be
a
pain,
but
she
was
a
very
strong,
very
strong,
independent
woman
and
someone
to
admire
and
someone
to
make
you
smile
about.
O
So
I
I
thank
you
for
your
service
and
I
wish
you
the
very
best
but
take
care
of
yourself
and

I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
really
being
a
model
of
for
us
and
showing
how
to
communicate
and
to
really
inform
your
community.
You've
really
held
a
bar
high
for
us
through
your
newsletters.
The
events
that
you
hold
in
your
award.
It's
really
been
you've
been
a
mentor
for
me.
In
that
respect,
I
really
follow
that.
Thank
you

that's
really
a
tremendous
tremendous
asset
that
you've
provided
to
the
ninth
ward
and
again.
D
Was
I
muted
all
that
time,
nope,
okay,
and
I'm
also
really
grateful
that
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
know
your
mother

friends
with
your
mother,
your
daughter,

really
come
from
a
family

You

AG
AG
AG
I
don't
even
know
if
you
knew
at
the
time,
you
would
be
interested
in
running
for
office,
but
I
just
knew
then
that
that
that
that
you
really
were
going
to
be
a
a
force,
not
just
in
politics
but
but
just
in
improving
this
community,
and
I
always
felt
a
certain
kinship,
because
I
know
the
the
I
guess
somewhat
the
responsibility
that
you
feel
we
have
when
you
have
a
parent
or
some
loved
one
in
your
household.
AG
That's
really
active
and
involved
growing
up,
and
I
always
felt
like
we
both
understood
just
a
great
responsibility
we
both
had
to
serve
and
to
give
back
and
a
volunteer
in
our
community.
AG
Like
everyone
has
said,
you
are,
you
know
a
model
citizen
in
in
every
way,
not
just
as
an
elected
official
but
but
the
important
role
that
you
play
in
your
family's
life.
It's
it's
evident
to
all
of
us.
You
know
just
just
how
full
your
life
is,
which
is
why
I
can
imagine
how
this
really
takes
away
for
you
to
do.
Other
things
that
you're
interested
in
but
you've
served
you've
done
a
great
job
serving
your
ward.
I
think.
AG
AG
AI
So
I
the
mayor,
was
kind
of.
Let
me
go
last
because
I
did
not
want
to
speak
more
or
have
what
we
just
had,
which
I
appreciate,
but
it
makes
me
a
little
uncomfortable.
So
I
thank
you
all
for
that.
I
dolores
you
are
right.
I
actually
before
I
spoke.
AI
I
read
a
letter
that
I
have
from
my
great
edna,
whose
campaign
posts
behind
me
from
1974,
but
when
she
left
township
supervisor-
and
I
thought
about
just
reading
that
because
it
still
applies-
and
she
just
talked
about
all
that-
was
happening
in
her
life
and
you
know,
unfortunately,
all
the
way
she
did
not
feel
like
the
city
city
really
appreciated
her
right
and
there
was
some
opposition
against
her
and
all
those
things,
but
nonetheless
she
was
a
great
role
model
for
me.
AI
So
I
appreciate
that
you
guys
saw
her
legacy
to
me
and
the
legacy
of
my
mother
and
other
women
before
me.
I
just
learned
by
example,
but
yes,
it
is.
It
is
time
for
me
to
move
on.
I
wish
that
I
could
be
more
effective
here,
but
at
a
certain
point
you
just
have
to
kind
of
know
when
to
fold
them,
and
it
just
became
too
challenging
for
me
in
this
fight
on
city
council.
AI
So
I
will
take
my
fight
elsewhere,
but
thank
you
that
this
will
be
our
our
last
conversation
of
my
leaving.
I
will
get
back
to
the
work
of
my
job
to
represent
the
ninth
ward
and
our
remaining
meetings
will
be
about
the
business
of
the
people
and
I
will
go
quietly
into
the
night
with
no
celebration,
no
pizza
party
in
the
mirror.
I
have
told
him
no
plaque,
no
key
to
the
city.
No
nothing
just
you
know.
Let
me
go
quietly
would
be
helpful,
so.
AI
So
anyhow,
thank
you
all
for
those
sentiments
and
I'll
be
here
until
we
find
the
new
city
manager.
A
You,
council,
member,
thank
you
for
everything
and
seeing
no
further
business
to
come
before
us
before.
Somebody
else
drops
an
announcement
that
breaks
my
heart.
Our
this
is
our
last
meeting
for
of
the
year
thanks
everyone
for
the
really
important
discussion.
A
Thank
you
again,
council
member
fleming
for
all
you've
done,
wishing
everyone
a
safe,
healthy,
happy,
joyful,
meaningful
holiday.
Our
next
meeting
is
january
10th
and,
in
the
meantime,
the
december
20th
special
meeting
of
the
epson
city
council
stands
adjourned,
happy
holidays.
Folks,.
