You

playing
a
musical
instrument,
and
you
just
wanted
to
have
that
one.
A
You
know
amazing
performance
and
you
know
you
sat
there
in
the
driveway
and
you
just
pretended
you
know:
you're
just
shooting
the
basketball,
and
you
know
it's.
The
final
game
of
the
N
double
ace,
NCAA
tournament
and
Kaye

Syracuse,
Don,
Syracuse
always
won
after
about
15
tries
and
I
finally
got
it
in
with
a
second
left,
and
that
happened
right
here
on
Friday
on
Friday
night,
with
a
great
performance
by
our
basket
by
our
basketball
team.
A
A
So
we
have
a
little
little
proclamation
that

Wildcats
boys,

team
played
main
self
school
main
hot
and
main
self

A

A
Shot

whereas
Blake
Peters,
determination
and
drive
demonstrated
at
the
end
of
the
bat
that,
at
the
end
of
that
basketball,
game
serves
as
a
wonderful
role
model
to
all
use
to
never
give
up,
even
as
the
final
buzzer
sounds
now.
Therefore,
I
Stephen
Haggerty,

this
outstanding

2018
as

in
the
city
of
Evanston
Thank,
You
Blake.
Thank
you.
We
have
one
more
little
thing
here.
E
A
I
also
I
also
didn't
want
the
the
moment
to
pass.
We
do
have
coach
Mike
Ellis
here.
Okay
and,
as
we
all
know,
the
the
sport
of

lots
of
other
sports.
Artie
are
team
sports
and,
while
Blake's
amazing

has
everyone
here
in
town
and
frankly,
around
the
country
excited
I,
just
wanted
to
ignol
I
acknowledge
you
coach
Ellis.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
coming
out.
You
guys.
F
A
D
G
Evening,
everyone,
mr.
mayor,
the
city
manager,
mr.
Clerk
members
of
the
City
Council.
How
are
you
very
good
hard
act
to
follow?
I'm
signing
him
myself,
I'll
be
his
agent,
so
Black
History
Month
is
coming
up
in
February
and
I
just
want
to
give
you
know.
Many
of
you
probably
have
an
idea
of
where
Black
History
Month,
not
I,
just
want
to
give
you
just
a
small
of
where
this
began
right.
The
story
of
like
Hiroshima
began
in
1915
a
half-century
after
the
13th
amendment
abolished
slavery
in
the
United
States.
G
Now
that
September
there
was
a
Harvard
trained
historian,
Carter
G
Woodson
and
the
prominent
minister
of
Jesse
Eve
Moreland
founded
the
Association
for
the
study
of
Negro
life
and
history,
an
organization
dedicated
to
researching
and
promoting
achievements
by
black
Americans
and
other
people
of
African
descent,
known
today.
As
the
Association
for
the
study
of
african-american
life
and
history,
the
group
sponsored
a
National
Negro
History
Week
in
1926
choosing
the
second
week
of
February
to
coincide
with
the
birthdays
of
Abraham,
Lincoln
and
Frederick
Douglass.
G
Now
this
isn't
thanks
in
part
to
the
civil
rights
movement
and
the
growing
awareness
of
black
identity.
Negro
History
Week
had
evolved
into
Black
History
Month
and
many
colleges
and
campuses
would
celebrate
that
yearly.
President
Ford
in
1976
recognized
like
History
Month
and
calling
upon
the
public
to
seize
the
opportunity
to
honor
the
often
too
often
neglected
accomplishments
of
black
Americans
in
every
area
of
endeavor
throughout
our
history.
G
Now,
since
1976,
every
president
has
officially
designated
the
month
of
February
as
Black
History
Month
other
countries
around
the
world,
including
Canada
and
the
United
Kingdom,
also
devote
a
month
to
celebrating
Black
History
Month
here
in
Evanston
the
city
of
Evanston,
fleetwood,
jordan
theater.
Well,
we
have
some
free
Black,
History,
Month
events.
G
You
can
see
them
up
there.
If
you
have
good
eyesight,
Monday,
February,
5th,
Haven
middle
school
and
Fleetwood
Jourdain
theater,
they
have
original
production
called
dear
Ruby.
I'll.
Make
sure
that
everyone
has
a
flyer.
The
children
of
behave
in
middle
school
have
written
letters
to
Ruby,
Ruby
Bridges
from
1960
to
New
Orleans,
the
first
african-american
to
go
to
an
all-white
school
and
they
have
taken
on
the
persona
of
people
from
all
times
of
history.
So,
even
in
their
letter,
writing
Barack
Obama
has
written
from
the
future
too
little
Ruby
back
in
1960
encouraging
her.
G
But
there
are
also
letters
that
are
discouraging
her
from
going
to
this
school
threats.
Even
this
event
will
take
place
at
the
fleetwood
Jourdain
theater
at
the
noise
Cultural
Arts
Center
on
February
5th
at
7
p.m.
then
here
in
the
second
floor,
shorefront
and
Fleetwood
Jordan
theatre
present
an
evening
of
conversation
with
black
Evan
stone,
Ian
history-makers
up
close
former
council
members,
Lawrence
Holmes
will
be
in
attendance.
Mr.
Sam
Johnson
from
Church
Street
barbershop
Hecky,
pile
of
hecky's.
G
We
also
have
parnisha
Jones
a
professor
at
Northwestern
University
of
very
prominent
poet,
not
just
here
in
Everson
but
across
the
nation
that
will
be
a
7
o'clock
as
well.
Now
this
is
not
going
to
be
a
one-time
event.
We
plan
on
having
an
honoring
history
makers
from
Evanston
throughout
the
year,
so
this
will
be
the
pilot
one
and
we'll
continue
after
that
on
February
17th,
18th
and
24th.
There
is
a
production
of
Liberty
City
by
April
Yvette
Thompson.
G
Now
this
is
a
multi
character,
solo
performance
inspired
by
the
playwrights
family's
journey
through
the
end
of
the
Black
Power
movement.
We
have
those
three
days
to
17th
18th
and
to
24th
on
Saturdays
at
7
p.m.
Sundays.
At
3
p.m.
we
also
will
have
Black
History
Friday
night
movies
for
the
entire
family.
We
have
two,
the
first
one
on
February
16th
is
the
Joyce
rejoice
and
shout
is
they
look
at
gospel,
music
and
his
relationship
to
african-american,
identity
and
Christianity?
The
second
one,
which
I
am
very
very
fond
of
it's
called
a
ballerinas
tale.
G
It's
about
black
ballerina
misty
Copeland
is
profiled
in
this
documentary,
which
explores
her
career.
Her
recovery
from
a
very
serious
injury
and
a
little
lack
of
diversity
in
the
world
of
dance.
We
are
also
collaborating
with
impact
theater.
They
operate
out
of
the
greenhouse
theater
on
Lincoln
Avenue
in
Chicago,
and
they
have
two
events.
One
of
them
is
called
100
acts
of
resistance,
and
this
is
going
to
talk
about
how
performance
art
can
can
make
awareness
of
the
resistance
of
african-americans
in
the
United
States
and
being
discriminated
against
and
then.
G
Secondly,
there
is
a
brand
new
play
that
is
coming
out
and
it
is
called
red
summer
and
they
will
have
a
staged
reading
of
it.
We
also
will
have
on
February
25th
the
history
of
jazz
lecture
and
concert
featuring
featuring
the
Donovan
mixin
jazz
ensemble,
bringing
back
Marlin
Rosenberg,
the
professor
of
at
Northwestern
University
she's,
an
upright
jazz
bassist
Reggie
and
Marjorie
Thomas.
They
performed
in
Lady
Day
at
Emerson,
Bar
and
Grille
last
summer.
If
you
saw
that,
and
of
course
we
have
mr.
G
Donovan
Mixon
on
guitar,
then
we're
gonna
wrap
all
of
this
up
with
a
black
Theater
Alliance
Awards
incorporated
and
Fleetwood
Jourdain
theatre,
presentation
of
the
documentary
film
black
theatre,
the
making
of
a
movement
produced
by
Woody
King
jr.,
a
very
prominent
director
and
producer
in
New
York
City.
All
of
these
events
will
be
free
to
the
public
and
we
encourage
everyone
to
come.
That
is
our
presentation
of
Black
History
Month.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.

and
that
is

and
privileges
people

how
that
continues
to
shape
their
personal
relationships
and
community.
The

a
bit

To

I
am
too
going
to
put
a
plug
in.
If
you
didn't
have
the
opportunity
to
see
the
play,
that's
put
on
by
art
of
evolution
and
mudlark
by
teenagers
and
even
kids
younger
than
that
here
in
our
community,
it
was
powerful,
incredibly
powerful
and
I'm
pretty
excited
that
that's
going
to
be
brought
back
for
a
forget
if
it's
five
or
six
showings
of
this

terrific
mr.

just
one
night.
D
If
I
may
I'll
draw
your
attention
to
the
ante
room,
we
are
placing
the
all.
People
are
welcome
signs
up
in
all
of
our
city
facilities,
so
those
took
a
little
bit
longer
with
the
holiday
season
to
procure
and
to
replicate,
but
they
are
all
done
and
they're
being
hung
around
the
city
build
buildings
and
facilities.
They
are
all
in
different
languages,
and
so,
while
the
sign
here
and
the
ante
room
is
in
English,
the
rest
are
in
various
languages
which
will
be
putting
in
prominent
locations
at
all
of
our
city
facilities.
A
B
A
few
announcements
I
want
to
announce
that
mail-in
ballot
applications
are

on
the

there,
as
well
as

the

During

how
to
register.
So.
Thank
you.
A
Terrific
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Clerk
read.
Ok,
we're
moving
next
on
the
agenda
is
public
comment.
We
have
15
people
that
have
signed
up
for
public
comment
tonight.
I
think
everybody
knows
the
council
rules
that
we
have
set
allotted
45
minutes
for
public
comment
and
I.
Ask
that
everybody
be
respectful.
Everybody
will
get
up
to
3
minutes.
If
you
need
it.
If
you've
heard
somebody
else
say
it,
you
can
say:
hey
I,
don't
need
to
speak
anymore.
A
You
know
I
want
to
make
sure
we
hear
from
you,
but
I
also
really
want
to
make
sure
that
this
council
has
the
opportunity
to
have
some
dialogue
tonight
about
affordable
housing.
That's
really
really
important,
so,
let's
just
all
continue
to
be
respectful
of
each
other's
time
during
public
comment,
so
I'll
rattle
off
the
the
first
three
each
time.
H
Welcome
thank
you
for
holding
a
meeting
on
affordable
housing.
First
I'd
like
to
thank
the
mayor
and
all
the
women
brew
and
Fleming
for
responding
quickly
to
my
email
regarding
miss
Steele
and
her
possible
being
thrown
out
of
her
lifetime
home
on
grace
Street
here
in
the
fifth
Ward
of
Evanston.
Her
situation
is
an
emergency
one
brought
upon
our
city
and
her
family
by
predatory
lenders,
but
it's
a
symptom
of
a
larger
problem
requiring
a
citywide
answer.
We
held
an
emergency
meeting
to
discuss
the
minimum
wage.
H
H
H
The
proposed
special
orders
that
you're
considering
tonight
are
very
good
they're
a
start
in
a
comprehensive,
affordable
housing
ordinance.
But
that's
what
we
need.
A
comprehensive
ordinance
is
not
pieces
and
I
would
suggest
they
need
some
additional
parts.
Sb
five
is
lacking
something
for
existing
homeowners.
It
talks
about
new
homeowners,
first
time,
home
buyers
buying
housing,
but
what
about
the
long-term
residents
who
are
struggling
to
hold
on
to
their
home?
H
And
secondly,
while
there's
stuff
in
here
addressing
renters
and
I,
realize
the
state
law
prevents
us
from
having
rent
control
again,
but
we
could
have
a
resolution
suggesting
that
the
state
legislature
get
rid
of
the
law
and
if
they
don't
want
to
get
rid
of
it,
then
at
least
the
law,
local
communities
to
consider
rent
control.
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
looking
into
affordable
housing,
Thank.
A
I
Good
evening
my
name
is
Doug
sharp
and
I
am
with
reclaim
Evanston
I've
already
presented
our
proposal
on
affordable
housing
to
the
Planning
and
Development
Commission
committee,
but
I
do
feel
now
that
we
have
the
full
council
here.
It's
worth,
restating
them
and
I'll
be
brief.
Our
proposal
consists
of
three
interrelated
elements
for
affordable
housing.
The
first
element
is
that
council
imposed
a
nine-month
moratorium
on
consideration
of
any
new,
large-scale
residential
developments.
I
Our
motivation
for
proposing
this
is
not
to
block
development,
but
is
simply
to
allow
time
for
the
planning
that
is
needed
to
develop
a
plan
for
affordable
housing
in
Evanston,
regardless
of
whether
there
is
a
moratorium
or
not.
We
all
need
to
focus
our
attention
on
the
second
element
of
our
proposal,
which
is
an
integrated
plan
for
increasing,
affordable
housing.
There
are
currently
three
different
City
committees,
planning
development
administration
and
Public
Works
in
the
iho
subcommittee
working
on
three
different
proposals
related
to
affordable
housing.
I
These
different
proposals
need
to
be
brought
together
into
an
integrated
plan.
We
therefore
propose
the
city
take
the
next
nine
months
and
develop
such
an
integrated
plan
that
identifies
the
best
solutions
for
increasing,
affordable
housing.
The
third
element
of
our
plan
and
the
one
that
we
feel
is
most
urgent,
is
to
significantly
increase
the
financial
resources
in
the
affordable
housing
fund.
To
do
that,
we
propose
to
that.
The
opt-out
fee
for
large
residential
developments
be
increased
to
$300,000,
which
will
make
the
opt-out
fee
commensurate
with
a
market
rate
of
constructing
a
unit.
I
J
Good
evening,
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
Northwestern
student
government,
as
we
all
know,
affordability
is
an
issue
that
touches
every
corner
of
Evanston,
but
by
changing
accessory
drawing
units
occupancy
limits,
the
city's
attempting
to
carve
out
a
narrow
exception
to
the
three
unrelated
rule.
No
doubt
this
is
a
exception,
will
positively
impact
affordability
in
Evanston,
even
after
its
time
in
committee,
but
as
we
move
forward
with
the
discussion
on
affordability
Levinson,
it's
time,
we
stop
neglecting
and
dancing
around
the
root
issue.
Here,
the
affordability
of
rentals
is
an
issue
for
students.
J
Rentals
can
be
upwards
of
four
five
thousand
dollars.
These
massive
sums
leave
students
with
no
other
choice
but
to
share
spaces
in
order
these
costs,
yet
the
laws
of
laws
of
Evanston
make
this
necessity
an
illegal
process.
As
a
result,
approximately
40%
of
Northwestern
students
who
live
off-campus
are
forced
to
grapple
with
his
ordinance
if
they
wish
to
live
in
this
community.
The
three
unrelated
rules
have
placed
well
over
1,000
students,
Evanston
residents
into
a
vulnerable
position.
The
precarious
nature
of
their
living
status
has
left
residents
liable
to
extortion
and
neglect
from
their
landlords.
J
A
Everyone
we've
got
Gillian
next
than
Maryland
and
Peter
Dalton.
If
I
can
ask
everyone
when
you
come
up,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
giving
your
giving
your
name
in
what
war
do
you
live?
What
your
ward,
you
live
in,
if
you
know
your
ward,
that
would
just
be
helpful
to
the
folks
up
here
at
the
podium
and
to
people
at
home.
Thank
you,
sorry
do
we
have
do.
We
have
Gillian
Kilburn's,
okay,
and
this
way
you
guys
can
correctly
pronounce
your
name
since
I've
not
done
so
yeah.
K
Pretty
close
Gillian,
Gilbert,
first
ward,
I'm
also
here
representing
the
northwestern
student
government.
We
have
two
different
stories
to
kind
of
explain
what
has
been
happening
to
students
rather
than
just
presenting
the
data
to
you.
So
the
first
one
is
for
students
who
are
looking
for
an
apartment
in
Evanston.
They
found
an
apartment,
but
in
order
to
afford
the
rent,
they
had
to
split
it
amongst
the
four
of
them.
K
They
asked
their
landlord
if
it
was
okay
to
have
four
people
on
the
lease
to
which
the
landlord
said
that
it
was
okay
and
they
move
forward
with
the
signing.
Then,
a
few
months
later,
the
landlord
came
back
and
asked
why
there
were
four
names
on
the
mailbox,
because
having
four
people
living
in
this
apartment
was
against
Evanston
city
code,
but
told
them
that
he
would
be
willing
to
look
the
other
way
if
they
could
pay
another
$1000
to
their
rent,
otherwise
they
would
be
evicted.
K
L
You
I'm
Malin
I'm,
also
a
student
at
Northwestern
with
Michael
and
Gillian,
and
we're
here
to
say
this.
As
a
small
first
step,
we
propose
changing
the
occupancy
limit
from
three
unrelated
people
to
four
unrelated
people.
This
tackles
affordability,
barriers
more
directly
and
more
efficiently
than
recent
discussions
on
rooming
houses
and
or
rental
accessory
dwelling
unit
rentals.
This
also
does
not
neglect
students,
and
this
tackles
affordability,
barriers
in
communities
that
actually
need
it.
We
understand
that
their
concerns
about
noise
and
parties,
but
there
are
ready
ordinances,
nuisance
ordinances
there
to
help
address
these
violations.
L
You
also
understand
that
their
concerns
about
density
and
overcrowding,
but
the
three
unrelated
ordinance
doesn't
help
to
prevent
this.
The
only
thing
that
the
three
unrelated
ordinance
is
doing
is
creating
a
vulnerable
population
of
students
and
tenants
who
can
be
easily
subject
to
extortion
and
have
two
widely
flout
this
ordinance
because
of
affordability
issues.
This
clause
is
outdated
and
divorced
from
reality,
and
it
is
time
we
amend
it
and
raise
the
occupancy
limit
from
three
to
four.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
I
look
forward
to
learning
more
about
this
and
discussing
this
further.
M
Good
evening,
honorable
male
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Peter
Dalton
and
I'm
current
resident
at
Hilda's
place.
Now
it
has
been
over
a
year
since
I've
become
housing,
challenged
and
I'd
like
to
just
say
just
as
Hemingway
would
say
just
like
bankruptcy.
It
happens
a
little
at
a
time
and
then
all
at
once
now
for
37
years,
I
have
lived
with
a
handicap,
and,
and
with
that
in
mind,
let
me
see
with
that
in
mind.
It's
it's.
M
It
has
been
very
it.
I've
lived
with
it
and
in
those
another
thing
is
today
happens
to
be
my
birthday,
so
I
become
eligible
for
the
wonderful
world
of
fixed
income.
Now
I
have
lived
long
enough
to
see
what
a
strong
middle-class
cab
means
to
a
community
and
I
fear
that
we're
not
leaving
that
legacy
for
our
children.
I
think
it's
a
very
important
legacy,
but
your
efforts
in
a
strong,
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
will
go
a
long
way
to
show
prudent
stewardship
of
what
we
leave
behind
for
our
children.
M
Now,
one
of
the
things
I,
especially
like
in
the
ordinance,
is
leveraging
external
revenue
sources.
Now
that
sounds
like
an
ideal
way
and
just
for
an
example,
I'm
thinking
of
the
Cook
County
Housing
Authority,
which
I
saw
do
a
presentation
here
a
few
weeks
ago,
but
I
do
have
concerns
about
the
fee
and
LU
of
affordable
units
practice
to
me.
That
reminds
me
of
a
time
back
during
the
civil
war,
where
wealthy
families
would
actually
pay
for
poor
people
to
do
their
military
service
in
place
of
their
children
short
term
revenue.
M
Spurts
do
not
build
a
future
actual
affordable
units
are
a
more
sustainable
and
equitable
solution
to
the
long
run
and
having
the
intrinsic
value
that
cash
does
not.
The
other
steps
you're
proposing
are
equally
as
important,
like
assistant
to
private
landlords.
To
make
affordable
units
will
go
a
long
way
to
maximize
the
available
housing
inventory
and
I
applaud
your
efforts
and
commitments
to
energy
to
bring
about
a
result
of
a
clear
and
enforceable
iho
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
and
have
a
good
evening.
Thank.

N
Hello:
everyone,
my
name,
is
Bessie
Simmons
and
I.
Believe
I
belong
to
the
50th
Ward
in
Chicago.
However,
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Evanston,
but
I
live
in
Chicago
Rogers
Park
area
now,
because
I
couldn't
afford
the
marketplace:
rent
in
Evanston
I
work
in
Evanston,
at
connections
for
the
homeless
and
I'm.
N
Here
today
to
thank
you
for
your
attention
to
the
issue
of
affordable
housing
and
to
share
my
story
about
how
important
with
housing
has
been
to
me
personally
in
2014,
I
experienced
homelessness
due
to
an
eviction
and
the
job
loss
in
a
marriage
that
did
not
work
out.
I
ended
up,
leaving
Chicago's
West
Side
and
moved
into
a
family
shelter
in
Evanston,
Family
Promise
I
stayed
in
the
shelter
for
two
and
a
half
months,
and
while
living
there,
I
was
given
a
housing
opportunities
through
connections
for
the
homeless,
so
participates
in
the
Tibor
program.
N
While
living
in
a
program
I
completed
graduate
school
I
was
able
to
pay
off
some
debt
and
I
learned
basic
skills
on
how
to
maintain
stable
housing.
When
I
aged
out
of
the
program,
I
went
on
a
housing
search
for
another
apartment,
which
was
another
traveling
area,
because
I
had
a
prior
eviction
and
could
not
pay
three
times
a
market
rent
that
most
landlords
were
looking
for.
This
led
to
me
experiencing
homelessness
again
temporarily
for
another
three
months,
I
eventually
found
an
apartment
after
three
months,
which
still
this
sees
my
rent.
N
Well
still,
it
exceeds
my
income
throughout
the
month,
however,
I
do
have
stable
housing.
My
experiences
of
homelessness
have
shown
me
how
valuable
programs
like
T,
bruh
and
homeless
prevention
fundings
can
be
to
people
that
live
in
a
community
that
are
can
afford.
Market
rent
I
hope
that
in
your
planning
process,
you
consider
the
broad
range
of
needs
that
people
have
in
our
communities,
including
those
like
mine.
Thank
you.
N
O
Good
evening
everybody
I'm
sue,
Lobeck,
I,
work
at
connections
for
the
homeless
and
I'm
representing
and
joining
forces
for
affordable
housing.
I
want
to
thank
Bessie
and
Pete
for
speaking,
they
did
so
because
they
have
really
come
to
the
realization
that
many
of
their
issues
are
caused
in
large
part
by
systemic
things,
that
need
to
be
changed
in
our
society
and
they
are
looking
to
take
action
on
those.
So
I
really
want
to
thank
them.
O
You
heard
a
little
bit
about
their
stories
and
between
just
the
two
of
them.
They
have
already
benefited
hugely
from
programs
that
the
city
of
Evanston,
together
with
the
nonprofit's,
have
put
together.
They
have
used
our
drop-in
services,
our
shelter
program,
the
home,
T,
breh
program,
homelessness,
prevention,
funding,
employment
services,
medical
and
dental
services
through
some
of
the
nonprofit's,
as
well
as
housing
search
support.
O
They
are
on
their
way
to
stability,
but
because
of
the
lack
of
affordable
housing
in
the
community,
they
are
going
to
be
housing
cost
burdened
for
some
time
they
will
be
paying
more
than
30%
of
their
in
on
rent,
because
there
is
not
enough
affordable
housing,
it's
not
just
in
Evanston,
it's
also
in
Rogers
Park,
it's
in
the
region
and
we're
all
aware
of
that
and
I
think.
My
point
is:
there
is
in
spite
of
the
many
programs
available.
There
is
still
a
gap
and
there
is
no
one
program.
That's
going
to
fill
that
gap.
O
We
do
not
have
enough
resources,
so
I
am
encouraging
again
that
the
city
do
put
together
a
plan
that
not
only
identifies
what
we
can
do
but
identifies
what
that
gap
is
what
the
strategies
are,
that
we're
going
to
go
after
for
filling
that
gap
and
then
figuring
out
a
strategy
for
obtaining
the
resources.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
P
Good
evening
mayor
city
manager,
City,
Council
and
city
clerk,
my
name
is
Tina
Payton
and
by
the
way
Betsy
that
just
spoke.
She
was
in
one
of
our
units
for
two
years
and
she
was
in
the
cheaper
program
and
then
she
moved
along
after
that
that
apartment
has
been
re-rented
to
another
cheaper
program.
Client
mr.
alderman
suffered
it
emailed
me
this
weekend
and
I'm
gonna
read
a
little
bit
of
what
I
talked
to
him
about.
P
As
you
see
from
our
website
paid
in
properties.
Calm,
we
provide
all
of
our
tenants,
regardless
of
source
of
income,
race
or
religion,
a
clean,
decent
and
safe
apartment.
We
are
one
of
the
few
landlords
that
has
three
and
four-bedroom
units
in
Evanston
that
rents
to
people
that
are
on
our
fordable
housing
programs.
We
have
many
tenants
that
come
out
of
homeless,
shelters,
refugees
have
bad
credit,
have
evictions
have
filed
bankruptcy
and
have
lost
their
jobs
and
homes.
P
As
we
have
said
many
times,
we
currently
have
15
affordable
units
that
houses
53
units,
which
is
half
of
units
that
we
rent
to
some
kind
of
subsidy,
HACC,
section
8
vouchers,
connection
for
the
homeless,
Chiba
program,
ESG,
trilogy,
Catholic,
Charities,
Bridge
to
home
program
for
single
individuals.
Family
Promise
Center
of
concern
are
some
of
the
agencies.
We
currently
work
with
I've
been
asked
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks.
P
If
I
could
have
a
waiting
list
for
our
units
as
they
become
available
from
Catholic
Charities,
New
Hope
program
for
families,
YWCA
wings,
Salvation
Army
and
the
city
of
Evanston
general
assistance
program,
our
four-bedroom
two-bathroom,
1500
square
feet.
Apartment
is
currently
occupied
by
a
cheaper
family
members.
Sixth,
in
the
household
that
unit
is
rented
for
two
thousand
forty
five
dollars,
which
is
the
maximum
I,
can
ask
under
hood.
If
you
will
look
in
Evanston,
you
know
there
is
no
four-bedroom
available
for
two
thousand
dollars.
P
P
Lastly,
we
have
looked
at
the
landlord
rehabilitation
assistant,
a
proposal
and
are
very
disappointed
once
again.
The
word
loan
is
part
of
the
program
details.
If
I
want
alone,
then
I
will
go
to
the
bank
and
get
a
loan.
The
city
gives
grants
not
loans

Q
Evening,

Haggerty

clerk,
read
members
of
the
City
Council
I'm
Carl,
sudden
18:21
Daryl
Brown
seventy
year
resident
of
the
fifth
Ward
I.
Commend
you
for
your
efforts
this
evening
to
address
the
crisis
of
affordable
housing
needs
in
Evanston.
It's
not
enough.
We
can
do
more
and
we
need
to
do
more.
I
want
to
address
specifically
sp3
and
SB.
Six
SB
three
does
not
meet
our
needs.
Q
Maybe
I'll
put
a
restaurant
in
one
of
my
units
and
get
a
grip
I've
seen
the
advertised
by
Tom
Selleck
on
TV
and
I
went
to
several
financials
to
see
if
this
was
a
good
deal
of
our
reversible
mortgage
and
I
was
warned,
especially.
Elderly
people
should
not
be
involved
in
any
loans
and
grants
on
their
properties.
At
this
time,
the
same
consideration
given
to
landlords
should
be
given
to
the
people
who
are
looking
for
a
place
to
state
by
providing
landlords
the
assistance
they
need.
There
are
30
families
your
mark
for
sp6.
Q
R
I'm
Sara,
Vander,
Wiccan
and
I
live
in
the
first
Ward
I
want
to
congratulate
city
staff
for
having
done
over.
You
know
the
last
several
months,
starting
in
the
end
of
October,
really
an
amazing
job,
pulling
together
data
and
explaining
where
things
are
in
the
city
and
and
what
the
housing
stock
is
and
so
on,
and
they
they
have
pulled
together.
R
A
tremendous
trove
that
should
be
used,
and
it
should
be
used
by
looking
that
the
council
in
developing
an
affordable
housing
plan
needs
to
look
at
what
exists
where
the
needs
are,
how
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
housing
that
affordable
housing
is
not
concentrated
in
identifiable
places
so
that
it
becomes
something.
So
as
with
the
housing
opportunities
for
women
plan
where
people
were
rejecting
more
affordable
housing
in
their
community
because
it
isn't
spread
around.
R
There
really
needs
to
be
a
thoughtful
way
of
putting
all
this
together
planning
so
that,
as
time
goes
on,
as
some
units
are
lost
because
they're
they've
timed
out,
you
know
being
having
to
be
affordable,
that
there
are
things
to
replace
them
there.
There
needs
to
be
a
consideration,
and
other
people
have
spoken
to
that,
and
it's
because
there's
a
concern
that
that,
with
the
sense
of
urgency
that
people
have
that
we've
recognized
this
as
a
crisis
and
an
important
thing
for
the
city
to
deal
with
that.
R
They
really
want
to
get
things
going
and
and
jump
on
kind
of
different
kind
of
band
wagons
and
that's
not
doing
a
service
to
the
people
who
need
this
housing
I
mean
obviously
has
to
be
done
forthwith
and
you
know
full
steam
and
so
on.
But
please
don't
just
make
a
patchwork
of
this
and
you
can
use
the
data
that
the
staff
has
put
together.
It's
it's
very
valuable
and
and
really
can
be
used,
and
similarly,
the
fund,
the
the
affordable
housing
fund.
S
My
name
is
Betty
Esther
and
I
live
in
the
fifth
Ward
tonight.
I
would
like
to
invite
the
councilmember
and
city
staff
and
people
that
are
watching
us
on
TV
tonight
to
February
8th
at
7
p.m.
at
family
focus.
That's
when
we
will
do
our
fifth
presentation
on
the
civilian
police
oversight
proposal,
this
past
Monday,
January
22nd.
The
action
of
the
police
department
underscore
I,
said
in
underscore
the
need
for
a
police
civilian
oversight
board
of
our
Police
Department.
S
There,
the
affordable
housing
proposals
and
things
that
are
here
they
are
a
start,
but,
like
the
lady
said
before
they
are
piecemeal,
they
should
all
be
given
to
the
task
force
that
was
set
together
to
plan
and
to
look
at
this,
because
when
you
do
one,
you
missed
something
on
the
second
one,
then
you
think
of
okay,
we'll
do
this
one
here
like
sp3,
then
you
have
to
go
back
and
see.
Oh,
we
didn't
put
that
in
sp2.
It
should
be
done
at
one
time
like
the
inclusionary
zoning
that
was
made
back
in
2007.
S
S
What
is
stating
you
know
you
go
to
who
you
look
at
sp3
and
you're
talking
about
doing
for
people
on
it
60%
of
the
am
I
what
about
those
that
earn
50
percent
and
30
percent
below?
What
do
we
do
for
them?
Those
was
the
one
that
we
was
talking
involved
and
you
need
to
address,
because
that
population
of
the
community
is
almost
half
your
core
population,
which
makes
up
the
you
to
be
able
to
get
the
CDBG
funds,
the
home
funds
and
the
McKinley
funds.
That
is
what
HUD
look
like.
S
A
T
Glad
there
were
speakers
before
me
that
were
so
powerful
in
terms
of
summarizing
the
urgency
and
how
funds
could
be
better
looked
at
in
terms
of
allocation,
both
in
the
giving
and
the
acquiring
I
I.
Second,
third
and
fifth,
a
motion
to
pursue
that
with
all
diligence
that
the
whole
versus
the
pieces
I
agree.
I
was
a
project
manager.
There's
no
way
that
you
can
lead
a
project
not
knowing
the
whole
and
people
who
work
on
the
pieces
are
usually
energized
by
realizing.
T
They
see
an
overwhelming
need
that
is
not
being
met,
I'm,
one
of
them
that
they
may
only
have
to
do
a
part
of
it
and
not
all
of
it,
because
they
don't
have
enough
money,
I
hate
to
live
in
Evanston
and
have
that
happen
to
anyone-
and
it's
happening
to
me
so
I
know
it
is
happening
to
others.
So
I
think
that
the
fun
should
be
now
considered.
T
Helping
people
like
me
to
get
my
house
fixed
up,
so
I
can
get
a
writer
and
I'll
be
able
to
stay,
not
only
that,
but
the
person
from
Evans
I'm
from
Northwestern
so
having
northwestern
person,
young
old,
I,
don't
I,
love
diversity,
I
always
have
I
was
part
of
a
diversity
team
management
steering
team
at
my
at
my
former
job,
so
I
can
do
a
lot
of
good.
If
the
city
invests
in
me
and
that's
the
investment
part
mr.
T
You
back
and
people
who
work
with
me
or
know
me
know
that
I
love
people
that
want
to
help
so
I
will
pay
the
city
back
and
I
will
pay
other
people
back
and
an
investment
in
me,
like
investment
of
a
number
of
these
people,
will
do
exactly
the
same.
So
please
don't
ignore
that
part,
an
act,
an
opportunity.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
U
U
If
diversity
and
affordable
housing
is
truly
a
goal
of
Evanston
the
poor
for
the
poor
and
homeless
because
of
absorbed
in
rents
and
lack
of
job
opportunities
here,
Evanston
residents,
including
students,
those
on
fixed
incomes
who
have
been
residents
for
years
if
more
than
three
unrelated
residents
can
live
in
peace
in
one
residence
or
live
in
basements
attics
and
coach
houses
without
problems
to
the
city
and
I'm
sure
there
are
laws
and
race
to
keep
that
from
happening.
Evanston
can
find
other
needs
to
meet
the
towers
being
built
in
downtown
and
around
Evanston.
U
V
V
A
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Miss
Esther!
Well,
thank
you
everybody
for
being
here
and
for
contributing
to
the
conversation
about
affordable
housing
in
Evanston.
I
know
everybody
up
here
at
the
diocese
appreciates
the
commitment
that
everyone
in
this
room
has
so
with
that
we've
completed
the
public
comment
section
of
the
city
council
meeting
tonight,
we're
now
going
to
move
on
to
special
orders
of
business.
As
everybody
does
know,
this
is
a
special
meeting.
W
Good
evening,
mayor
Haggerty,
members
of
the
City
Council
Wally
city
manager,
Bob
Choate's
and
clerk,
read
I'm,
Sarah,
flax,
housing
and
grants
administrator
and
I'm
just
going
to
quickly
take
you
through
a
PowerPoint,
that'll
sort
of
cover
off
most
of
the
items
and
then
hopefully
allow
mayor
you
and
the
council
to
bring
back
and
discuss
the
ones
that
you
would
like.
I
think
that
might
be
more
productive
than
trying
to
go
item
by
item
through
each
memo,
but
so
we're
here
to
give
you
an
update
on
affordable
housing
activities.
W
To
date,
there
have
been
a
lot,
as
somebody
mentioned,
some
action
items
for
tonight
and
also
discussion
items
to
get
more
direction
from
you
activities.
To
date,
we've
had
a
number
of
items
about
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
subcommittee
has
had
its
first
meeting.
We've
brought
three
different
items
to
a
and
PW
and
they
are
also
on
the
agenda
tonight.
The
rental
program,
landlord
assistance
program,
homeownership
programs
at
P
and
D
we've
brought
accessory
dwelling
units
and
the
effect
on
occupancy
limits.
W
We
have
some
things
we'd
like
you
to
consider
and
then
would
come
back
with
a
more
specific
plan,
because
we
do
believe
that
all
those
units
should
be
registered
and
licensed
and
registered
and
inspected
all
the
way
all
of
our
regular
rental
is
so.
We
also
have
fleshed
out
the
following
direction.
At
our
last
meeting,
the
pilot,
land
or
rehabilitation
program,
and,
as
you
may
recall
this
program,
our
direction
from
Council
was
based
on
the
storefront
modernization
program.
W
We
use
the
term
grant
and
we
use
the
term
forgive
all
alone,
all
of
the
storefront
modernization
grants
are
in
fact
recorded
as
forgivable
loans
on
the
properties.
There
has
to
be
some
way
of
keeping
compliance,
but
there
is
no
debt
service
due
and
there
is
no
payment
due
unless
the
property
were
to
fall
out
of
its
affordability
or
not
maintained.
So
it's
that
same
process,
so
that
will
ask
you
for
a
feedback
on
that
discussion.
Items.
W
Alderman
Fitz
could
requested
information
on
rooming
houses,
so
there's
a
memo
with
information
on
rooming
houses
in
Evanston.
Most
of
them
are
actually
Northwestern
student
housing
of
various
types
and
many
things
that
we
don't
think
of
as
rooming
houses.
Our
hotels,
the
YMCA's
SRO,
are
actually
inspected
and
licensed
as
rooming
houses.
So
it's
a
little
bit
misleading.
W
A
A
X
I,
don't
want
to
get
into
a
discussion
of
the
ovens
and
rental
program,
but
I
just
want
to
clarify
one
thing,
because
I
don't
want
it
misunderstood
and
I.
As
you
said,
we
can't
really
get
into
the
program
until
we
have
some
payment
in
lieu
from
the
developers
and
we're
going
to
talk
a
lot
about
when
those
payments
are
going
to
come,
but
that
program
and
my
vision
is
not
a
program
to
develop
to
get
people
into
affordable
housing.
That
program
is
to
make
market
rate
housing
affordable
for
pee.
X
Y
A
So
let
let
me
just
say
so,
one
of
from
my
from
my
perspective
I,
think
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
great
ideas
out
there
and
you
guys
have
done
some
terrific
work.
The
whole
housing
team
here
in
Evanston
to
me
I
think
one
of
the
the
the
areas
that
work
we
have
to
reach
some
consensus
on
or
if
we
can't
you
know,
reach
it
up
here,
the
council
can't
reach
it
up
here.
Perhaps
it's
something
that's
tasked
to
the
housing
and
homelessness.
Commission
is
how
we
ultimately
allocate.
You
know
the
resources
right.
A
There's
lots
of
needs,
there's
needs
with
low-income
families
in
Evanston.
There's
needs
with
seniors
in
Evanston
so
and
we
do
have
a
limited.
We
have
limited
dollars
right.
We
have
lots
and
greater
needs
than
we
have
dollars,
and
how
do
we
want
to
allocate
allocate
that
right
now?
The
way
it
works
is
pretty
much
people
come
up
to
the
council
and
something's
on
the
agenda
and
have
like
five
hundred
fifty
thousand
and
we're
gonna
go
buy
a
two
flat
with
three.
You
know
three
bedrooms
or
I've
got
this
other
program.
A
Would
you
fund
this
I
think
all
of
those
things
make
you
feel
sort
of
good
like
okay,
we're
doing
something
here,
but
it
doesn't
seem
to
me
to
be
as
strategic
as
you
know.
It
could
be
and
I
think
we
had
a
lot
of
people
tonight.
You
know
raise
raise
that
point,
including
sue
wall
Baku.
You
know,
spends
a
lot
of
time
working
in
this
area.
Alderman
Wilson.
Z
I
guess
a
couple
of
points
I
wanted
to
get
with
regard
to
the
accessory
dwelling
units.
I,
definitely
think
we
should
should
proceed
with
that.
I'm,
not
comfortable,
though
with
the
with
the
idea
of
sending
that,
along
to
the
plan
commission,
with
the
with
the
rent
control
kind
of
piece
to
that,
I
have
a
very
strong
preference
that
we
just
send
that
to
them
for
how
that
would
get
implemented
a
couple
of
things
that
it
just
off
the
top
of
my
head.
Z
When
I
looked
at
this,
you
know
what
are
you
gonna
do
for
somebody
who
maybe
somebody's
been
renting
a
unit
not
in
compliance
for
a
period
of
time,
and
it
personally
you
know.
Okay,
it
breaks
the
rule,
but,
generally
speaking,
I,
don't
think
that
that's
a
that's
a
horrible
crime.
Okay,
so
is
the
landlord
gonna
have
to
evict
the
person
if
they
don't
qualify,
I
mean
you
know.
Z
V
AA
With
that
I
I
think,
for
we
don't
have
that
many
of
these
accessory
dwelling
units-
I,
don't
I,
think
the
cost
to
try
and
figure
out
whether
they
are
rent,
controlled
or
not.
I
think
is
is
too
too
much
burden
and
too
much
administrative
cost.
I
think
we
should
just
allow
people
to
rent
them
as
they
would
like
to
to
most
of
them.
AA
AA
There
was
this
suggestion
that,
in
order
to
get
people
to
come
in
and
and
register
them
so
that
we
can
properly
inspect
them
that
we
have
an
amnesty
period
if
you've
been
improperly
renting
it
that
you
know
we're
not
going
to
make
you
pay
fines,
we'll
just
have
you
come
in
get
registered
and
though
now
we'll
have
a
we'll
be
able
to
inspect
them
properly,
so
that
anyone
you
rent
them
to
now
knows
that
they
have
a
safe
inspected
unit.
Ok,.
C
I
I
don't
want
to
completely
abandon
the
discussion
of
managing
the
rent
on
the
accessory
dwellings.
That
was
one
of
the
one
of
the
options
to
expand
our
affordable
housing.
So
if
we
could
even
talk
about
some
sort
of
a
credit
or
incentivizing
having
the
accessory
dwelling
be
affordable,
if
we
could
just
continue
discussing
that
before,
we
move
it
to
committee,
omitting,
the
affordability
I.
Z
Guess
I'd
rather
send
it
to
that
point
to
the
plan
Commission
without
that
piece,
because
they're,
not
gonna
I,
don't
think
they're
gonna
if
we
send
it
to
them
with
that,
it's
going
to
come
back
with.
Okay,
here
are
the
rent,
controls
and
I.
Think
that's
a
conversation.
If
we
want
to
have
that,
that's
a
conversation
we
as
a
council.
Well
after
we
get
what
it
looks
like
as
far
as
the
zoning
change,
because
it's
going
to
require
a
zoning
change
and
that's
what
the
Planning
Commission
I
think
should
be
focused
on.
Z
Y
Like
to
agree
with
alderman,
wilson
and
alderman,
when
about
sending
it
to
plan
commission-
and
I
I-
do
have
problems
in
my
mind
with
requiring
that
the
affordable
dwelling
unit
be
affordable.
However,
we
might
define
it
I
think
it's
important
to
think
about
one
element
of
affordability
that
comes
with
legalizing
auxiliary
dwelling
units,
as
it
makes
the
primary
residents
more
affordable
to
the
people
who
already
live
there,
because
they
maybe
then
getting
some
additional
income,
and
so
it
helps
people
stay
in
their
homes.
Y
AB
Z
AC
So
I
I
also
could
move
it
to
plan
Commission.
However
I
know
we'll
bring
it
back,
but
I
do
support
autumn.
A
ruse
event
that
I
would
like
us
to
have
a
further
discussion
about,
maybe
not
a
required
rent
control
with
some
kind
of
incentive,
so
the
people
who
have
these
can
think
about
renting
them
as
affordable.
AC
Well,
that's
what's
in
the
memo
says
for
amnesty
for
ad
use,
construct
it
without
building
permits,
and
so
I
just
want
to
clarify
that,
because
if
someone
else,
you
know
build
something
without
a
building
permit
and
we
find
out
I,
don't
think
we're
offering
that
Manistee.
So
I'm,
okay
with
the
amnesty
for
bringing
it
on
the
rental
market
in
an
inspection,
but
not
if
you've
built
it
and
then
are
renting
it
yeah.
Z
I
think
you
did
a
pretty
good
job
walking
through
it
I've
gotten
a
little
bit
of
feedback.
There
seem
to
be
some
confusion,
as
you
said,
on
the
idea
of
loan
versus
grant,
but
I
generally
agree
with
the
idea
that
there
has
to
be
some
sort
of
assurance
that,
if
we're
gonna
put
money
into
the
project
that
it
does
continue
to
be
used
for
the
intended
purpose.
Z
So
I
like
that
I
guess,
the
only
thing
I
have
I
want
to
make
sure
we
are
doing
in
the
process
is
working
with
the
landlords
to
make
sure
that
this
will
actually
help
them.
So
I'm,
assuming
60%
ami,
is
going
to
hit
the
target.
But
if
it's
not
going
to
hit
the
target
I've
heard
from
some
people
that
you
know,
maybe
we
need
to
be
more
flexible
on
that.
Okay,
just.
W
A
note
they
can
be
up
to
60
if
they're
below
that
that's
fine
Tina
knows
well
from
working
with
people
with

are
always
below
through
always
below
50%
and
frequently
when
they
first
get
a
voucher,
they're
below
30%.
So
that
really
does
cover
pretty
much
anybody
who
is
coming
with
some
kind
of
rental,
subsidy
and
assistance
through
the
voucher
program.
Through
our
Chiba
program,
Marty
BER
program,
most
people
come
in
at
or
below
30%,
and
we
get
them
up
to
50
or
60%
before
we
you.
Z
W
Z
Right
and
again
it's
it's
in
the
memo,
but
if
you
quote,
borrow
the
money,
you
keep
your
units
in
the
program
compliant
at
the
end
of
the
term.
You
would
not
have
to
pay
it
back
right,
right,
okay,
right
so
it'sit's.
It
is
a
forgivable
loan,
I'd
kind
of
like
to
try
it.
It
looks
like
it's
structured
on
a
like
a
one-year
basis,
but
make
this
kind
of
a
trial
basis
and
see
how
it
works
or
not
works.
Z
W
Storefront
modernization
program
is
directed,
which
is
that
$50,000
cap,
many
of
the
things
and
from
experience
with
our
housing
rehab
program
for
CDBG
50,000,
is
our
cap
on
that
program
because
it
really
has
proven
to
be
pretty
effective
for
most
needs,
but
the
other
thing
that
we
have
done
there
is
when
there
have
been-
and
there
have
been
a
few
where
somebody's
project
could
require
going
over
the
limit
over
that
limit.
We
have
actually,
in
that
case
we've
brought
cases
to
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
act
committee
for
review.
W
We
had
a
one
I
remember
where
somebody
had
to
have
those
pilings
driven
down
to
stabilize
her
house,
and
the
bid
was
well
it's
this
much
up
to
30
feet
and
then
it's
expert
foot
longer,
and
so
we
had
to
get
the
committee
to
say.
If
we
went
over,
we
could
do
just
that
work
to
make
sure
that
her
house
was
actually
going
to
be
livable.
Let.
Z
Z
W
W
We
can
look
at
those
levels,
but
that's
pretty
much
what's
been
used
in
a
number
of
other
programs
to
make
sure
that
people
have
the
ability
to
improve
their
situation
without
being
immediately
penalized
for
it,
but
then,
when
they
have
the
capacity
to
move
on
to
a
non
subsidized
unit
that
they
do.
Okay.
Z
AA
I
think
what
alderman
Wilson
is
is
asking
and
I
and
I
would
like
to
know
this
too
and
I'm
not
sure
whether
this
is
what
you're
asking,
but
if
it
doesn't
make
the
so,
for
instance,
in
his
using
his
example,
a
renter
doesn't
have
a
job
or
that
the
at
their
income
level
when
they
sign
the
lease
fault.
The
landlord
then
would
be
complying
with
the
program,
and
then
they
get
another
job.
They
their
income
increases,
but
does
that
that
the
landlord
doesn't
lose
a
year
of
a
four
of
affordability?
Correct,
no.
W
AD
W
W
AD
Know?
Okay!
So
then,
if
I
meet
all
the
affordability
guidelines
for
15
years,
I
never
pay
any
interest
or
repay
the
loan.
Correct.
W
A
C
W
Could
it's
you
know?
There
are
many
ways
in
the
CDBG
program,
for
example
in
a
single
family
or
a
owner-occupied
to
flat
it's
up
to
$50,000,
that
they
don't
have
to
do
any
matching
and
that
actually,
that
program
exists
and
people
can
get
a
loan,
and
in
that
case
it
is
alone,
but
it
is
in
many
cases
deferred
and
no
payments
are
due
until
they
sell
the
properties.
W
C
W
Were
tying
it
to
the
amount
of
the
loan
of
the
forgivable
loan,
it
could
be
all
kept
at
the
same
amount,
but
that's
why
we
had
stayed
staggered
it.
So
up
to
ten
thousand
dollars
would
be
a
five-year
forgivable
up
to
fifth
up
to
25.
Excuse
me
would
be
a
tenure
forgivable
period
and
then
up
to
50
would
be
a
15-year.
We.
C
W
C
To
participate
and
then
in
terms
of
the
modeling
it
after
the
storefront
modernization,
the
landlords
that
kind
of
are
on
my
mind,
as
we
were
exploring
this
front
funding
that
50
cent
50%
match
is
a
real
barrier.
So
is
there
any
way
that
the
match
piece?
We
can
manage
it?
How
we
would
do
the
rehab
loan
where,
as
are
the
contractors
paid
directly
by
the
city
and
the
rehab
loans,
the.
W
W
If
they
would
like
to
participate
in
it,
it
offers
differences
in
that
you
know
it
is
we
fund
those
projects
by
having
the
loans
ultimately
repaid,
but,
as
I
said
many
many
times
they're
deferred,
but
there
is
no
payment
required
by
the
landlord
in
that
case,
and
the
incomes
are
up
to
80
percent
of
area
median.
So.
C
I
understand
that
program,
but
for
this
one
that
we're
talking
about
now
is
that
is
there
any
reason
why
we
couldn't
consider
the
50%
match
being
managed
by
the
city
so
that
they
are
front
funding
that?
Because
that's
that's,
why
we're
already
having
this
discussion
because
they
need
repairs
today,
we.
AC
AC
Is
that
there
is
no
cap
on
it
if
I'm,
correct
and
so
individuals
can
come
in
I
mean
there's
a
monetary
cap,
but
individuals
can
come
in
and
apply
for
a
storefront
funding
for
various
projects
and
that
correct,
and
so
I
would
like
to
think
about
in
order
to
make
this
program
a
little
more
long-standing
trying
to
make
a
cap.
So
if
you
have
like
miss,
Peyton
has,
however
many
properties
or
whoever
else
that
there
are
some
kind
of
cap,
whether
it's
a
dollar
amount
cap.
AC
There's
a
unit
number
of
cap,
because
ideally
I
would
like
this
program
to
attract
landlords
who
maybe
are
not
currently
renting
under
the
affordable
housing
model.
To
know
that
this
funding
is
available
and
maybe
turn
some
of
the
unit's
over
and
so
I
would
like
to
I
guess:
I
would
propose
a
cap
or
/
owner
and
we
can
look
at
a
funding
cap
for
owner.
So
this
this
doesn't
look
at
continuous
part
of
money.
You
know
for
any
home
improvement
projects
and
I.
AC
Think
it's
a
you
know,
I
think
it's
a
great
start,
as
the
speakers
spoke
about,
I
mean
nothing
that
we're
going
to
do
tonight
is
perfect
and
going
to
solve
our
problems.
You
know
tomorrow,
but
I
think
this
is
a
great
start
and
so
I
would
hope
that
you
know
kind
of
some
frustration
around
this
program
proposal.
Although
it's
not
final
is
that
people
understand
there
is
to
give
and
take
care.
AC
So
we
have
city
funds,
the
taxpayers,
you
know
give
us
we
have
to
be
very
diligent
about,
and
so
this
is
one
way
of
which
we're
trying
to
help
get
some
affordable
housing
on
the
market.
You
know,
maybe
it's
not
perfect
for
everybody,
but
I.
Think
given
Ottomans
Simmons
suggestion.
If
there's
a
way,
we
can
get
some
of
this
money
out
front
with
the
landlord
understanding
that
they
are
responsible
for
the
50%.
Again,
we
don't
want
to
have
work
kind
of
half
completed.
AC
Z
You
and
and
all
of
Andrews
stones
and
almond
flowing
your
points
are
well-taken
as
far
as
the
timing
is
concerned,
if
you're
gonna
apply
for
this,
obviously
you
want
to
know
if
you're
gonna
qualify
and
get
the
money
before
you
do
the
outlay
right.
So,
if
he's
okay,
when
I
put
my
hundred
thousand
dollars
out,
oh,
but
there
was
some
sort
of
technicality
and
I
don't
get
the
other
50
that
would
really
hurt
so
I
recognize.
Z
We
told
you
to
do
it
the
other
way,
but
in
discussing
it,
that's
probably
not
the
ideal
way
to
have
directed
you
so
I
think
we're
in
a
neighborhood.
You
know
on
on
how
this
could
look,
but
it
looks
like
we
just
need.
Some
of
these
logistics
pieces
fleshed
out
a
little
bit
more
and
a
little
bit
differently.
Do
you
feel,
like
you've,
gotten
I?
Think.
Z
Z
Will
write
a
check
for
$300,000
for
one
unit
or
a
couple
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
one
unit
so
for
ten
thousand
dollars
I
like
the
tiered
system.
I
do
like
this
tier
system,
and
you
know,
we've
put
really
big
dollar
amounts
into
a
single
unit,
so
I'm
not
uncomfortable
with.
You
know
that
shorter
time
period
for
a
much
much
much
much
much
smaller
than
mine.
So
so
that's
kind
of
how
I
feel
about
that.
Like
okay,
good
and.
W
What
I'm
hearing
is,
instead
of
having
the
landlord
pay
up
front
and
get
the
rebate
or
get
the
payment,
be
able
to
pay
them
either
them
immediately.
So
they
can
pay
the
contractor
or
work
out
some
arrangement
where
the
50%
part
being
paid
by
the
city
would
be
paid
right
away,
and
so
they
don't
have
to
pay
and
then
get
reimbursed
right.
W
X
Like
to
propose
a
different
approach
and
that
approach
would
be
that
there'd
be
no
50/50
on
this
program.
The
landlord
rehabilitation
assistance
program-
and
that
would
be
we
would
make
available
with
no
50/50
and
it
it
would
be
a
$5,000
per
unit
rehab
program
and
for
for
projects
that
are
larger,
that
you
would
have
to
apply
for
the
program.
X
That
is
a
fabulous
program
that
we
already
have
in
place,
and
that
is
the
CDBG
rehab
program
there
is
you
can
get
a
lot
of
money
there
and
I
don't
understand
what
the
problem
is
with
building
owners
applying
for
that?
It's
a
few
pages
of
paperwork,
but
it's
a
program
we
have
in
place
and
there
are
owners
that
have
renovated
their
entire
buildings
with
that
money,
and
we
have
evidence
of
that
and
people
who
can
testify
to
that
that
have
had
those
buildings
for
years.
Is
that
not
true,
mm-hm
and
I?
X
Don't
know
if
we're
not
doing
a
good
job
promoting
those
but
landlords?
If,
if
we
do,
the
program
like
I
would
like
can
line
up
tomorrow
if
we
pass
it
and
get
$5,000
per
unit
to
renovate
whatever
they
come
in
and
get
approved
for,
and
you
can
do
some
serious
work
with
$5,000,
you
know
you
can
get
a
new
toilet
and
sink
you
can.
X
You
know,
paint
the
whole
place
if
you've
got
painters,
you
know,
and
your
family
and
I
just
think
I
understand
the
business
with
not
wanting
to
pay
5,000
to
get
5,000
and
I.
You
know,
I,
don't
think
this
program
should
put
roofs
on
on
Tina's
building
at
the
corner
of
Sderot
and
Dewey
in
Howard
I
mean
that's,
that's
not
what
this
should
be
for
this
should
be
for
helping
to
renovate
or
put
a
new
floor
in
the
unit's.
X
X
W
Is
available
there
is,
we
could
I
mean
we
usually
have
someplace
between
150
and
200
thousand
dollars
that
we
use
each
year.
So
if
we
got
a
lot
of
applicants,
we
could
run
out.
One
of
the
challenges
where
we
do
run
into
with
CDBG
is
if
it
is
a
building
that
has
eight
or
more
units,
then
they
get
subject
to
davis-bacon,
which
is
one
of
the
headaches
of
the
world,
and
that
is
possibly
a
cost
increase.
W
But
many
of
our
rental
buildings
are
not
eight
units,
and
yet
CDBG
is
given
in
the
form
of
a
loan.
They
are
either
their
zero
interest
loans
and,
basically,
what
we
do
is
we
do
a
cash
flow
analysis.
If
you
can't
afford
to
pay
that
service,
you
get
a
deferred
loan
and
it
just
sits
there.
You
don't
have
to
pay
it
back
till
you
sell
the
property.
C
Cosmetic
for
you,
no
new
finishes,
paint
and
floors.
I
think
that
it
should
be
more
for
major
property
standard
issues
in
quality
of
living
improvements,
Oh
roofs
and
plumbing
mechanical
work,
any
sort
of
structural
issues
that
would
keep
the
landlord
from
being
compliant
with
any
sort
of
rental
inspection
with
whoever,
whatever
housing
authority,
they're
working
with
or
property
standard
issues
with
the
city
of
Evanston
and
then
in
terms
of
the
the
I.
W
C
I
I
want
to
stand
firm
on
not
having
a
five-year
option
for,
and
just
talking
that
through,
like
I
think
that
if
someone
is
saying
that
they
are
committed
to
affordable
housing,
then
certainly
they
should
be
committed
beyond
five
years.
So
I
want
to
I
want
to
have
that
open
for
a
discussion
further.
W
It
I
do
think
that
one
of
the
things
that-
and
we
have
gotten
into
some
of
the
details
of
this-
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
would
look
at
when
people
are
making
recommended.
You
know
when
they're
saying
what
they're
going
to
do
is
what
we
do
with
our
program.
If
they're
replacing
a
roof,
we
make
sure
that
it's
a
certain
level
of
quality
of
roof
I
believe
we're
going
for
20-year.
W
I
can't
remember
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
there's
a
you
know:
minimal
standard,
there's
a
standard
so
that
any
systems
are
going
to
last.
We
also
I,
think
and
I've
talked
to
Kumar
Jenson
about
this
a
bit
with
HUD.
We
are
required
to
use
energy
efficient,
furnaces
and
all
that
sort
of
things
I
think
that
those
requirements
should
their
common
sense
both
for
the
building
and
for
the
you
know,
effectiveness,
the
cost-effectiveness
to
the
landlords,
so
I
think
those
things
we
can
write
out
those
sorts
of
details
in
the
program.
Y
Question
and
a
comment
so
for
the
CDBG
program:
just
the
building
have
to
be
isn't
there
a
part
of
Evanston
worth
it.
Building
has
to
be
no.
W
Y
W
Asbestos
has
to
be
dealt
with
with
lead
paint.
We
that's
a
requirement
for
any
HUD
loan.
So
and
even
if
it's
not
HUD
money,
we
would
require
that
all
contractors
have
their
RP
certification
and
lead
safe
practices
or
follow
dad.
That's
actually
a
requirement
by
the
EPA
nationally.
So
it's
supposed
to
be
happening.
W
I
AC
V
Z
Z
Z
You
want
to
make
money
and
do
this,
but
maybe
somebody's
not
willing
to
make
a
commitment
to
okay,
I'm
gonna,
commit
to
trying
this
for
10
years
and
maybe
it'll
work
out
so
I
think
just
the
idea
of
having
the
option
and
again
it's
just
for
the
smaller
it's
for
the
smaller
amounts,
but
if
we
can
get
more
people
to
try
it
out
and
say:
okay
yeah,
this
works
I.
Can
you
know
I've
made
this
commitment
for
five
years.
You
know
maybe
they're
not.
Z
A
F
A
F
D
This
balloon
being
this
members
of
the
council,
a
couple
of
things
so
I
think
the
desire
we've
got
lots
of
good
feedback,
so
we'll
go
back
and
and
and
chew
on
that,
but
we
can
come
back
to
you.
Probably
today
is
the
29th
of
January.
Come
back
to
you
perhaps
on
the
26th
of
February.
Would
you
like
this
administration
of
Public,
Works
I?
D
Think
that's
where
the
starter
was
at
planning
and
development
npw,
so
we
would
be
prepared
so
far,
perhaps
an
appropriate
motion
would
be
to
take
an
input
and
refer
this
back
to
NP
w
over
further
discussion
on
the
26th
of
February.
My
concern,
though,
is
that
I
in
listening
to
the
discussion.
There
are
some
contradictory
issues
out
on
the
table
and
mr.
Murray
I
don't
know
if
you
want
us
just
to
kind
of
take
those
contradictory
issues
and
bring
them
back
to
a
and
P
W
for
further
discussion.
I
think
there's
issues
regarding
time
frame.
D
A
X

A

W
AC
W
O

AA
I
I
do
think
that
we
we
benefit
more
by
doing
the
matching
the
matching
dollars
where
the
city
would
kick
in
up
to
$50,000,
and
then
the
landlord
would
use
$50,000
I
think
that
there
it's
very
easy
to
even
doing
bringing
something
up
to
code
to
spend
$10,000,
so
I
I
would
rather
we
get
the
the
benefit
of
our
contributing
and
get
repairs
up
to
a
hundred
dollars
on
some
units.
I
think
that
really
would
incentivize
landlords
to
come
forward.
AA
You
know
if
if
they
have
a
$25,000
repair,
then
or
you
know,
$50,000
repaired
they
get
half
of
it
paid
for
if
they
comply
with
this,
so
I
would
prefer
that
we
keep
it
at
this.
What
you're
proposing
so
that
we
we
are
able
to
spend
more
of
the
dollars
and
possibly
attract
more
more
people
to
it.
I
mean
if
they
want
to
apply
for
a
smaller
amount.
That's
fine!
But
if
you
have
a
larger
amount
that
might
be
undoable,
you
know.
Let's
say
you
have
a
$70,000
project.
AA
A
Would
just
add
to
that
alderman
when,
from
my
experience
working
around
the
country
and
different
grant
programs
and
stuff?
It's
always
in
my
experience,
always
a
better
program
when
somebody
has
skin
in
the
game.
Okay,
I've
seen
programs
where
it's
a
hundred
percent
and
somebody
doesn't
have
ownership
because
hey
I'm
not
putting
any
money
into
it
and
it
never.
It
doesn't
end
well
for
somebody
and
so.
Z
And
I
agree
with
that:
I
I
do
look
at
this
as
I'm
finishing
this
is
a
pilot
program
or
test
private
projects.
So
I
am.
I
inclination
is
to
do
this
for
a
year
and
see
how
it
works
and
then
regroup
and
make
adjustments,
I.
Think
I'm,
trying
to
remember
the
only
non
agreement.
Point
I
can
remember
his
ultimate
Simmons
and
I.
Maybe
don't
agree
on,
and
maybe
some
others
don't
agree
on.
The
tiered
system
was
there.
Another
point
it
was.
There
was
lack
of
consensus.
W
Z
And
maybe
for
the
for
the
tiered
thing,
maybe
just
leave
that
I
guess
a
little
gray
for
today,
but
you
know
you're
in
contact
with
some
landlords,
maybe
get
together
with
some
of
the
landlords
and
just
see
how
the
logistics
of
that
would
work.
I
mean
maybe
the
$10,000.
What
the
five-year
thing
is
just
of
no
use
to
them.
I,
don't
know,
maybe
I'm
overly
optimistic,
but
perhaps
they
can
talk
to
the
landlords
and
just
kind
of
get
a
sense
of
you
know
logistics
wise.
Z
C
C
Well,
just
because
we
have
a
community
of
landlords
that
are
that
are
already
committed
to
doing
this
work.
They've
already,
they
are
struggling
to
maintain
units
there
they're
all
over
the
fifth
Ward
now
so
there's
an
opportunity
for
them
to
get
some
relief
and
give
their
families
that
they're,
supporting
like
nice
improvements
right
now,
so
I
really
didn't
have
in
mind
identifying
new
landlords
necessarily
to
come
to
support
this
program.
C
This
is
a
current
need
that
we
have
right
now,
and
so
there
are
families
that
are
living
all
over
the
city,
not
just
in
in
the
fifth
Ward
that
that
are
living
in
houses
with
like
leaking
roofs
and
just
underperforming
plumbing
systems
and
so
on,
and
their
landlord
owners
can't
afford
the
improvements
they
can't
afford
to
pass
along
that
expense
to
the
family
and
they're.
Just
stuck
living
I
agree.
Z
I
didn't
eloquently
say
what
I
was
thinking
when
I
said
you
know,
you
know
if
landlords
that
are
not
I'm,
talking
about
the
landlords
to
Alden
Rainey's
point
that
aren't
going
out
and
getting
the
CDBG
money
but
landlords
who
are
doing
this
and
providing
this
service
already,
but
to
let
them
know
that
we
can
help
you
and
you
can.
You
can
make
a
living
doing
it.
So
the
landlords
are
problems
they're
struggling
right.
They
don't
have
quite
enough
money
to
make
the
improvements
that
need
to
be
made.
Z
But
if
we
make
this
available-
and
it's
you
know
again-
50/50
skin
in
the
game-
it's
these
landlords
that
are
doing
it
now,
but
they're
not
participating
in
what
we
have
to
offer.
So
when
I
set
new
landlords,
that's
what
I
meant
I
don't
mean
like.
Let's
go,
you
know,
put
an
ad
on
Craigslist
and
say:
okay,
find
new
landlords.
I
want
the
people
who
are
out
there
doing
this
to
decide
to
come
in
and
ask
for
this
assistance.
Okay,
ultimate.
AA
C
I
just
want
to
see
more
of
a
commitment
than
five
years
like
a
trial.
I
might
want
to
Dibble
and
dabble
in
the
affordable
housing
market,
as
a
business
model
like
I
want
to
see
someone
that
has
been
committed
to
it
or
is
committed
to
it,
and
we
are
subsidizing
that
opportunity
to
provide
the
housing,
but
not
necessarily
presenting
it
as
a
new
business
model
to
explore.
Now.
Z
That's
not
really
what
I
was
getting
I
guess
what
I
was
getting
at
is
to
your
point,
the
landlord
who
is
just
barely
getting
by,
and
they
might
want
to
take
advantage
of
this.
But
if
they
look
at
that-
and
they
say
oh
wow,
ten
years
I
just
can't
commit
to
ten
years,
I
can't
risk
the
possibility
of
having
to
pay
that
whole
big
chunk
back,
but
I
could
commit
to
five.
Just
to
you
know
see
if
I
can
make
it
another
five
years.
That's
that's
just
what
my
thinking
is.
Maybe.
C
X
If
these
are
small
landlords
who
have
single-family
homes
that
are
renting
to
people
as
affordable
housing,
why
don't
we
pull
them
all
together
and
have
windows?
Last
time
we
had
a
meeting
for
small
landlords
to
tell
them
about
the
housing
rehab
program?
That's
what
we
should
do.
We
should
have
them
all
in
like
ten
landlords
who
have
small
units
and
tell
them
about
the
affordable
housing
rehab
program.
It
would
be
perfect
for
them.
They
don't
have
to.
They
don't
have
to
pay
back
anything
they
can.
They
can
have
the
entire
house
renovated
called.
C
C
W
C
W
There
is
a
real
issue
with
smaller
landlords
who
don't
do
income
qualifications
and
aren't
familiar
with
that
process
who
are
reluctant
to
take
on
that
responsibility.
We
do
a
lot
of
owner-occupied
to
flats
because
we're
in
qualifying
the
owner
in
many
cases,
so
we
are
helping
them
stay
in
their
in
their
property,
but
I
think
that
perhaps
the
one
of
the
issues
is
are
they
able
to
do
any
qualification
on
their
own,
of
course,
like
Misbah?
W
They
can
also
accept
voucher
holders
because
those
are
income
qualified
by
the
organizations
which
really
makes
it
very
easy,
and
one
of
the
things
we
are
trying
to
do
is
get
more
and
more
landlords
to
be
willing
to
take
people
with
subsidies.
It's
not
something
that
it's
a
source
of
income
protection
against
discrimination,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
other
reasons.
People
can
use
that
makes
them
not
take
voucher
holders.
X
W
C
W
C
So
that's
where
we're
back!
That's
what
the
issue
is:
they
they
don't
want
it
to
be
alone,
and
so,
if
we're
doing
a
grant
that
for
a
storefront
modernization,
so
that
I
would
like
to
continue
this
discussion
so
that
week
I
want
to
move
it
forward.
I
there
was
some
confusion,
I'm
clear
now
that
I
want
to
continue
moving
forward.
A
AC
So
I
do
want
to
again
support
what
alderman
almost
caught
her
for
nail.
That
was.
C
AC
I
was
like
what's
her
name
bottom,
a
Ruth
Simmons
said:
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
I'm
a
commitment
from
the
person
who
is
getting
the
money
that
they
are
going
to
keep
the
unit
unit,
affordable,
I.
Think
if
we
start
talking
about
you
know,
even
if
it
is
a
pilot,
we
started
about
one
year
or
whatever
is
someone
out.
There
will
say:
oh
I'm
gonna
go
forward
with
this
and
remodel
whatever
and
one
year
and
then
I'm
done
or
I'm.
AC
So
I
think
five
years
is
a
very
small
amount
of
time
for
$10,000
I
mean
maybe
I'll
put
my
kids
out
and
rent
out
some
space
and
get
my
own
rehab,
but
we
have
to
they
have
to
as
the
mayor
that
they
have
to
have
some
skin
in
the
game
and
I
think
past
the
finance.
That
also
is
a
commitment
to
keep
the
unit
on
the
market.
AC
AC
For
serving
okay,
so
I
think
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that's
replicated
I
think
autumn.
Rainy
brings
up
a
good
point
about
having
the
landlord's
together
and
we
can
tell
them
about
all
the
program
options,
whether
it's
a
loan
or
a
grant.
I.
Imagine
most
people
don't
know
flex,
they
don't
want
the
loan,
but
that
is
an
option
for
bigger
projects
that
they
should
know
about,
and
we
should
be
very
you
know,
mindful
of
this
program
being
something
different,
but.
O
AC
F
W
F
V
Z
A
AB
X
X
They
are
long-term
investors
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
the
loans
that
they
take
out
for
rehabilitation
that
are
loans
that
are
due
when
the
title
transfers
their
titles
generally
transfer
when
they
die,
and
that
is
when
the
title
transfers,
so
they
never
actually
sell
their
properties.
So
it
is
as
though
they
never
have
to
pay
back.
Maybe
some
relative
does,
but
they
don't,
and
it
is
an
investment
and
there
property
their
property
increases
in
value
because
they
take
out
this
rehabilitation
loan.
So
I'm
I'm,
just
telling
you
thank.
V
V
A
AB
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
my
first
question
is
from
the
map
Sarah.
AB
AE
Aldermen
Fisk
mayor
Haggerty
clerk,
read
city
manager,
pop
quits
and
members
of
the
City
Council
I'm
Savannah
Clemmons.
To
answer
your
question.
All
of
those
are
registered
rooming
houses,
but
they
they
vary
in
what
they
actually
are.
Our
hotels
are
registered
as
rooming
houses,
as
Sarah
mentioned
earlier.
The
YMCA
and
the
YWCA
are
registered
as
rooming
houses,
and
then
many
of
them
are
smaller,
single-family,
home
type
structures
that
rent
by
the
room
to
Northwestern
and
a
lot
of
them
are
actually
dormitories
and
sorority
and
fraternity
houses
as.
AB
AB
Talking
to
one
of
the
owners
of
a
licensed
rooming
house
and
in
my
ward
and
and
she
reports,
inspections
twice
a
year,
standards
that
have
to
be
met
in
terms
of
safety
and
my
my
bringing
this
up
is
a
way
to
address
problems
that
we
have
not
only
in
my
ward
but
also
alderman,
Simmons
and
I.
Share
concerns,
both
in
the
first
and
fifth
Ward's
about
inspections,
a
number
of
people
living
in
units
and
in
houses
and
basically
a
safety
issues
associated
with
that
rooming
houses
that
are
owner
occupied.
AB
Are
you
have
someone
there
all
the
time
that
has
an
invested
interest
in
not
only
maintaining
the
house
but
also
maintaining
the
compatibility
of
the
use
with
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood
and
who
is
accountable
and
I
think
that
in
this
climate
it
could
actually
work
not
only
for
student
housing
but
also
Aging
in
Place
and
I've
had
a
lot
of
inquiries
about
about
that
as
well.
So
I
I
want
to
make
people
more
aware
of
that,
and
our
staff
is
a
resource
and
figure
out
how
we
can
do
that,
because
I
I
don't
think.
AB
AB
Instead
of
nine
people
in
that
house,
you
could
have
a
dozen
without
with
inspections,
maybe
once
every
other
year,
so
I'm
trying
to
get
a
little
bit
more
inspections,
safety
ownership
and
compatibility
with
neighborhood,
not
only
to
make
a
neighborhood
more
enjoyable,
but
also
protect
the
property
values
and
protect
the
the
sense
to
surrounding
neighbors
that
there's
someone
there
who
is
accountable
for
the
property.
So
that's.
That
was
my
reasoning
for
for
doing
this
and
I'd
like
to
hear
from
my
colleagues
on
the
council,
Thank.
X
I'm
sure
rooming
houses
are
very
nice
and
friendly
and
if
everything's
going
fine
but
there's
absolutely
no
protection
for
tenants
that
live
in
rooming
houses,
the
landlord
tenant
ordinance
does
not
apply.
You
can
be
locked
out
if
you
don't
pay
your
rent
exactly
when
you
should.
If
the
rooming
house
person
doesn't
like
you,
you
can
be
thrown
out.
There
are
no
protections
for
anybody
who
lives
in
a
rooming
house.
So
if
everything
is
going
fine
and
you
get
your
breakfast
and
everything
you
know
it's
fine,
but
you
you
can
be
your
lot
can
be
plugged.
X
You
can
be
thrown
out.
There's
no
protection,
I,
don't
even
I,
don't
even
know
about
public
accommodation
laws,
but
you're
not
protected.
So
for
that
reason,
I,
don't
like
them.
I
know,
I,
don't
like
them.
For
that
reason,
and
I
want
to
say
something
to
you
to
the
young
woman
who
spoke
about
changing
a
lot
of
for
people.
How
ridiculous
is
it
to
think
that
two
people
in
a
bedroom
in
a
two
bedroom
house
is
outrageous
and
it's
going
to
destroy
a
neighborhood?
It
just
isn't
going
to
Judy
it
just
alderman
Fisk.
X
It's
just
not
going
to
do
it
and
we
really
have
to
start
thinking
about
that.
I
I'm,
a
tenant,
I
I
rattle
around
in
a
huge
three-bedroom
apartment.
There
is
no
reason
why
four
people
can't
be
living
in
my
apartment:
I
don't
want
them,
but
it
there's
absolutely
there's
absolutely
no
reason
why,
for
unrelated
people
cannot
be
living
in
my
apartment,
none
whatsoever
and
there's
no
reason
why
foreign
related
people
can't
be
living
in
Europe
on
your
street.
X
It
does
not,
it
does
not
mean
there's
going
to
be
parties
and
screaming,
there's
no
reason
for
it
and
we
need
to
change
the
law.
I
mean
I,
I.
Think
changing
the
law
from
three
to
four
is
silly.
We
have
a
law
that
regulates
the
number
of
people
per
square
foot,
that's
what
we
should
go
to
that's.
There
should
not
be
four
unrelated
people
in
two
hundred
and
fifty
foot
studio
that
should
not
be
allowed
and
it
isn't
allowed.
X
But
in
a
five
bedroom
house
there
should
be
probably
six
seven
eight
unrelated
people,
but
there's
there's
just
no
reason
why
we
can't
have
the
number
of
people
per
square
foot
that
our
city
allows
and
we
need
to.
We
need
to
put
on
our
big-girl
pants
and
allow
that
there
is
I'm.
Sorry,
you
have
no
basis
to
stand
on
that
ruling
any
longer
you
can
have
all
you
can
have
all
the
better.
You
can
have
not
been
in
breakfast.
You
can
have
it.
You
can
have
all
these
things
that
you
want,
but
we
have
got.
X
We
have
got
to
come
into
this
century
and
we
have
got
to
change
that
law.
That
is,
that
is
just
that
is
just
unconscionable
to
continue
that
law.
You
should
not
have
children
living
in
the
basement
where
there's
a
furnace,
that
is,
that
has
gotta
go
I'm
I'm
with
you
on
dividing
bedrooms
up,
but
we
have
got
to
allow
the
number
of
people
allowed
per
bedroom
where
there
the
square
footage
per
person
is
allowed.
We
have
got
to
allow
them.
A
Z
X
Z
I,
could
I
completely
agree
with
autumn
and
rainy
and
I've
I
think
a
couple
months
ago,
I'd
suggested
that
we
just
completely
repeal
the
three
unrelated
ordinance
and
I
think
that's
that's
really
what
we
should
do.
I
did
after
I
made
that
suggestion
I
heard
from
a
number
of
people
with
reasons
why
that's
a
horrible
idea,
but,
frankly
the
reasons
are
to
your
point.
These
are
all
things
that
are
covered
by
the
building
code.
They
are
all
covered
by
our
density
restrictions.
Z
It
only
serves
to
presuppose
that
people
are
going
to
engage
in
bad
conduct
because
they're
not
related.
Okay,
that's
all
it
does,
and
it
gets
just.
It
focuses
on
the
Northwest
North
Western
students,
obviously,
but
it
provides
a
bad
landlord
or
a
bad
property
owner
with
an
opportunity
to
take
advantage
of
somebody
and
I
don't
want
to
allow
that
on
my
watch,
we've
talked
some
landlords
have
talked
about
immigrants,
refugees,
people
in
those
categories.
These
are
the
kinds
of
people
we
passed.
Z
We
could
live
with
this,
but
you
know
what
it
was
really
complicated
and
convoluted
and
it
would
be
difficult
for
the
staff
to
enforce.
But
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
there's
a
huge
rally,
raucous
party,
the
police,
come
and
break
up
the
party,
that's
what
it's
really
about.
If
there
are,
you
know
six
people
living
in
a
bedroom
and
bunk
beds,
that's
a
different
problem
and
that's
against
the
building
code.
But
this
ordinance
has
had
its
day
in
the
Sun
and
it's
time
to
put
it
to
put
it
to
rest
Thank.
AC
AB
Obviously,
I
couldn't
disagree
more
and
I'm
quite
certain
that
we
could
amend
our
landlord
tenant
ordinance
to
include
folks
and
roaming
houses.
The
we
we
have
had
very
strong
success
in
my
ward
with
licensed
rooming
houses,
and
these
are
in
effect,
shared
houses
where
people
use
the
kitchen
use
the
house
as
though
it
was
their
own
more
than
three
unrelated
people
living
in.
But
the
point
is
that
they
there
is
an
owner
in
that
house
and
that
is
extremely
helpful
in
in
making
making
those
types
of
uses
more
compatible
with
a
neighborhood.
I.
AB
AB
In
a
positive
in
a
positive
way
and
I
think
amending
the
ordinance
is
probably
a
good
idea,
alderman
Wilson
for
all
the
good
things
that
you've
done
and
all
the
people
that
you've
talked
to.
We
did
try
to
set
up
a
committee
with
you
and
I.
Don't
think
that
committee
ever
met
so
the
folks
I've
talked
to
I
checked
with
them,
and
they
said
that,
for
whatever
reason
that
never
happened.
Bye.
AB
I
think
it
is
really
unfair
and
again
I'm
trying
to
find
a
middle
ground
here
and
I
think
that
the
rooming
house
concept
is
something
that's
fair
to
developers,
it's
fair
to
the
renters
and
it's
fair
to
the
neighbors
and
for
anyone
to
attack.
This
is
outmoded
and
you
need
to
come
and
listen
to
these
folks.
AB
I
mean
alderman,
Simmons
and
I,
hear
from
them
all
the
time
and
we're
struggling
with
how
we
can
enhance
livability
in
a
neighborhood
and
provide
housing
for
lots
of
people,
whether
they're
our
seniors,
whether
they're
students,
whether
they're
folks,
who
want
to
have
people,
come
in
and
share
their
house
to
help
pay
the
taxes.
And
that
was
the
reason
why
I
brought
up
the
concept
of
the
of
the
rooming
house
and
that
would
be
tied
with
a
live-in
owner.
AB
AB
But
this
is
a
real
concern
and
it
may
not
be
a
concern
in
some
of
your
wards.
But
it's
a
very,
very
strong
concern.
In
my
ward
for
people
who
are
trying
to
maintain
not
only
the
their
property
values
but
also
the
livability
of
the
neighborhood,
so
I
would
respectfully
ask
that
any
of
you
who
do
have
strong
concerns
about
that
either.
Join
me
at
a
meeting
with
neighbors
in
the
1st
and
5th
Ward's
or
at
the
next
meeting.
We
can
invite
them
to
come
and
speak
to
Council
Thank.
C
I
guess
these
concerns
are
unique
to
ottoman
Fisk
and
I
and
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
residents
that
are
calling
about
those
quality
of
life
issues,
but
I'm
also
very
concerned
about
the
way
it's
being
managed
now
and
the
conditions
in
which
a
lot
of
our
students
are
living
in.
It's
just
unacceptable
and
to
think
that
really
this
is
their
only
option
in
housing.
We
just
have
to
be
more
responsible,
and
if
that
means
regulating
it
with
a
licensed
rooming
house,
it's
something
that
I
think
we
should
hold
and
have
a
community
discussion
about.
C
It's
that
important
in
addition
to
that
on
the
west
end
of
the
Ward
also
very
vulnerable
residents
that
are
living
in
just
really
bad
conditions.
So,
if
we
can
hold
this,
have
a
community
meeting
invite
the
residents
so
that
I'm,
the
rest
of
Council
and
the
broader
community
could
see
exactly
what
we're
talking
about,
because
maybe
some
folks
don't
have
a
reference.
I
think
that
would
be
the
most
fair
thing
to
do.
Okay,.
A
X
Aldermen,
Fisk
and
Simmons
if
the
rooming
houses
are
being
run
well
and
people
are
happy
there,
I
love,
rooming
houses,
I'm
just
saying
that
tenants
are
not
protected
as
they
are
as
tenants.
Having
said
that,
if
people
are
living
in
squalor
and
if
students
are
living
under
terrible
conditions
that
you
describe,
that
is
the
fault
of
our
inspections.
Department
and
property
standards
needs
to
be
inspect
and
they
need
to
shut
those
places
down
and
find
the
ran,
Lords
and
put
them
out
of
business.
X
X
No
I
know
I
heard
that,
but
let's,
let's
get
to
the
bottom
of
it,
let's
get
to
the
bottom
of
it.
We
know
that
there
are
four
people
unrelated
people
living.
We
now
don't
we're
not
gonna.
Have
that
rule
any
more?
That's
not
going
to
be
a
reason
to
throw
people
out
we're
going
to
be
inspecting
these
units.
The
landlord's
aren't
going
to
be
getting
away
with
that
anymore.
X
A
A
C
Was
just
last
week
that
I
asked
that
the
fireman's,
Park,
neighbors
and
Northwestern
actually
helped
me
to
convene
the
landlords
that
are
providing
student
housing.
So
we
could
discuss
this
very
thing.
So
that
is
that's
in
the
works.
Now
we
can
kind
of
tie
this
all
in
in
together,
so
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
let
everyone
know
that
that's
something
that
we're
working
on
and
we
could
maybe
do
that
together
with
first
Ward
and
move
forward
on
that.
AC
AB
Again,
I
just
want
to
stress
this
is
not.
This
is
not
an
issue
about
students,
100%,
certainly
they're
affected,
but
it's
a
it's
an
issue
shared
housing
ways
to
increase
income
to
pay
whatever
tax
bills
you
need
to,
but
I
am
concerned
and
the
reason
and
I'll
harken
back
to
alderman
Holmes,
who
kept
stressing
how
important
licensing
is
and
how
frustrated
she
was
not
to
have
licensing
and
I.
Think
licensing
does
help.
AB
We
all
know
of
landlords
who
get
a
notice
when
their
building
is
going
to
be
in
or
when
their
house
is
going
to
be
inspected.
They
will
ask
people
to
leave
because
they
know
when
the
inspections
being
scheduled,
they
will
make
it
look
compliant
and
then,
as
soon
as
the
inspector
leaves
it
all
comes
back
in.
When
you
have
a
rooming
house,
you
have
regular
inspections.
Yes,
yes,
you
pay
a
fee,
but
you
have
regular
inspections
and
you
have
someone
living
there.
AB
So
if
there's
a
problem,
you
know
who
to
go
to
that
person
is
available.
It's
not
somebody
in
New,
Jersey
or
Ontario,
or
the
Barbados.
It's
somebody
right
there
on
the
site
and
that
is
really
important
not
only
for
the
maintenance
of
the
building,
but
also
for
safety
and
I
I
want
everyone
to
understand
that
there
is.
There
is
a
benefit
of
living
somewhere
where
someone
is
taking
care
of
the
somebody
is
responsible,
somebody's
accountable.
AB
Somebody
is
available
on-site,
even
though
I'm
sure
we
have
wonderful
absentee
landlords
in
Evanston,
it's
great
to
have
somebody
on
site
and
and
much
easier
for
the
city,
so
Aldrin,
Roo,
Simmons
I,
think
that's
a
great
idea.
I
think
we
should
definitely
have
that
meeting.
I,
don't
know
whether
we
want
to
have
that
meeting
separately
or
at
PD
or
where
you
want
to
do
that,
but
obviously
it's
something
that
we
we
need
to
do.
AB
F
M
F
C
AB
O
O
O
D
F
A
Z
A
C
A
Okay,
let's
go
on.
We
got
two
other
items
for
discussion.
We
have
SP
five
in
SP
six
SP
five
is
steps
towards
home
ownership,
first-time
home
buyer
programs,
mortgage
products
of
the
strategies
to
expand
homeownership
for
moderate
and
middle-income
households
here
at
Evanston.
Is
there
any
discussion
folks
like
to
have
on
this
item.
A
F
X
X
X
Z
C
A
Y
Well,
I
guess
I'd
like
to
circle
back
to
some
comments
at
the
very
beginning
of
this
evening
and
that
you
also
alluded
to
mr.
mayor
of
the
need
and
we
have
a
great
set
of
action
steps.
Thank
you
very
much
to
the
staff
for
the
wonderful
white
paper
and
some
really
great,
marching
orders
and
I
think
we're
making
good
progress
on
these
specific
action
steps
but
and
I
hesitate.
Y
The
word
used
to
use
the
word
plan,
but
I
do
think
we
need
a
broader
plan
or
a
set
of
guidelines
or
some
way
to
kind
of
wrap
all
this
together.
It's
especially
when
I
think
about
the
affordable
housing
fund.
Our
resources
are
very
limited
and
we
need
a
discussion
about.
You
know
what
is
the
best
way
to
use
our
affordable
housing
fund
monies.
Y
We
know
what
share
should
go
to
rental
assistance.
What
share
should
go
to
landlord
rehabilitation
assistance
and
how
about
some
of
our
other
strategies
like
creation
of
new
affordable
units,
so
you
know
we're
at
them.
I
mean
I,
love
these
programs,
but
I.
You
know
we
need
to
have
priorities
and
figure
out
how
we
really
want
to
allocate
these
very
scarce
resources,
and
it
really
probably
applies
as
well
to
some
of
our
the
federal,
the
meager
federal
funds
that
we
get.
Y
We've
talked
we
touch
on
every
once
in
a
while
about
seniors
people
with
disabilities,
families
versus
single
people,
very
low
income,
middle
income,
we're
going
to
need
strategies
to
make
sure
that
we're
addressing
the
needs
of
all
of
these
different
groups
and
and
how
are
we
going
to
measure
the
success?
I
I,
don't
quite
know
how
we
want
to
tackle
this.
Do
we
need
a
subcommittee?
Y
A
By
I'm
glad
I'm
glad
you
got
that
light
in
there
you
know
I
mean
I,
think
I
think
we've
got
a
housing
and
homelessness.
You
know
board
here,
and
you
know:
we've
had
a
couple
meetings
and
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
a
long
time
and
I
think
tasking
to
that
board
on
this
specific
thing,
which
is
you
know,
what's
you
know
and
there's
a
lot
of
information,
our
staff?
That's
produced
a
tremendous
amount
of
information,
but
what
is
you
know
the
needs
and
proportionally?
How
should
we
invest
this
money?
A
And
the
thing
is
the
HUD
money
has
a
lot
of
restrictions
to
it.
Okay,
but
this
other
money
that's
raised
to
the
inclusionary
housing
has
really
no
restrictions.
I
mean
this
is
this:
is
ours
of
this
council's
to
decide
how
to
allocate
that,
and
so
that's
my
suggestion,
is
you
know
housing
and
homelessness
as
opposed
to
creating
you
know,
another
we've
got
a
lot
of
committees,
I
think
that
are
doing
really
good
work
around
here
that
we've
created
sort
of
ad
hoc.
But
if
there
was
you
know
if
this
were
scoped,
you
know
really.
A
V
Y
Think
that
would
really
be
very
appropriate
because
I,
the
last
affordable
housing
plan
that
we
had
in
Evanston
was
produced
by
the
housing
and
homelessness
Commission.
It
planned
from
2009
and
alderman
Rainey's
rental
assistance
program
was
a
number
one
strategy
that
they
recommended
in
that
program.
So
maybe
that
plan
so
maybe
we're
finally
going
to
act
on
that.
So
I
sure
the
Commission
would
be
would
welcome
that
the
the
task
that
one.
C
You
alderman
revel
and
near
Haggerty
in
the
fair
housing
laws.
Are
we
covering
how
our
efforts
will
include
accessible
like
handicap,
accessible
housing?
Is
that
a
piece
of
this,
or
is
that
another
bullet
that
we
need
to
include
in
the
discussion
so
that
some
of
these
units
becoming
available
a
percentage
of
them
are
available
to
residents
with
physical
disabilities?.
W
All
the
movements
there
are
requirements
for
accessibility
when
you
get
into
larger
buildings,
so
that
are
in
place
for
everybody.
I
think
there
are
things
we
want
to
look
at
and
I
think
that
expanding
accessory
dwelling
units
is
a
real
opportunity
too,
because
they're,
small
and
they're
on
grade.
You
know
you,
you
get
benefits
by
looking
at
sort
of
housing
as
a
way
of
making
more
accessible
units
over
time
that
are
also
not
only
limited
to
being
in
high-rises
and
buildings
that
have
elevators.
So
we
definitely
have
it
on
our
radar.
W
We've
actually
talked
a
lot,
you
know.
Sometimes
people
say
well,
why
don't
we
have
everything
made
to
Universal
Design,
so
it
can
be.
One
of
the
things
you
have
to
be
careful
of
is
then
you're
enlarging
the
size
of
all
units
to
really
accommodate,
potentially
somebody
in
a
wheelchair,
in
all
cases
which
increases
the
cost
of
housing.
So
you
know
we
it's
absolutely
on
our
radar
and
we're
looking
at
ways
to
do
modifications
to
existing
homes.
That's
one
of
the
things
actually,
the
housing
rehab
program
does
frequently,
and
but
again
it's
multiple
strategies
in
different.
W
X
Y
X
A
Where
my
my
head
is
on
it
I'm,
just
looking
at
all
the
different
committees
and
the
taskings
that
we
give
folks
is
that
you
know
we've
got
lots
of
different.
You
know,
ideas
and
and
roads
that
we're
traveling
down
here
with
a
fort
with
affordable
housing,
inclusionary
housing
being
one,
but
at
the
end,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
well,
you're,
actually
right,
oh
yeah.
At
the
end
of
the
day
you
could,
it
could
be
that
hey.
You
know
what
it's
some
kind
of
requirement
that
affordable
housing
zand
units
are
always
put
into
these
developments.
A
So
there
are
no.
There
are
no
funds
you
know
generated,
but
to
the
extent
that
the
funds
are
generated,
we
do
need
to
have
a
you
know
more
strategic
and
thoughtful
plan
about
what
we're
doing
here
in
the
city.
So
what's
the
general
consensus
it
would
people
like
to
hold
as
alderman
Rainey
suggested
and
we've
got
a
meeting
April
30th
Wally.
So
at
that
point
we'll
certainly
know
a
lot
more
about
inclusionary
housing
committee
and
then
could
do
at
asking.
If
we
wanted
go
ahead.
D
The
the
City
Council
we're
proposing
the
City
Council
have
another
one
of
these
special
meetings
as
we're
having
tonight
on
the
fifth
Monday
in
April
and
I
think
from
a
stats
person.
We
agree
with
the
mayor
that
at
that
point
the
inclusionary
housing
committee
should
have
a
lot
of
work
under
its
belt
by
then
so
we
will
probably
know
more
then.
F
AC
Sorry,
I'm
not
sure
what
we
moved
I
had
a
suggestion
for
the
affordable
for
the
Commission.
Thank
you.
Sorry,
since
they
have
a
plan,
because
I
went
to
one
of
their
meetings
to
have
a
plan,
that's
like
five
years
old
I
think
you
said:
does
it?
Can
they
look
in
that
plan
since
they
already
had
things
that
we're
talking
about
now?
Can
they
look
at
that
plan
before
started
a
new
one
and
maybe
pull
out
some
things
that
they
think
might
be
useful
that
maybe
they've
already
thought
through
and
I
present
those
to
us
email?
AC
Those
to
us
you
know
like:
can
it
get
us
thinking
that
they
already
had
something
already
in
there
instead
of
starting
a
yeah
instead
of
starting
a
whole
new
plan
process?
Maybe
there's
some
things
in
there
oder
plan
that
we
want
to
look
at
and
have
to
think
about.
You
know
and
our
April
meeting,
if
we
so
choose
I,
have
to
say
for
them
to
go
out
in
this
whole
new
planning
process,
and
then
it
becomes
a
plan
that
doesn't
go
anywhere
if
they
didn't
work
five
years
ago,
right.
Y
Y
That
well
yeah
I
hate
to
go
on
a
big
lecture
about
the
plan,
but
I
did
just
read
it
I
mean
it
was
at
the
time
of
the
foreclosure
crisis.
So
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
in
there
about
how
to
respond
to
that.
The
several
of
the
strategy.
Major
strategies
have
been
implemented,
and
we
are
talking
now
about
the
number
one
strategy
of
the
rental
assistance
program.
I
think
I
think
there's
not
a
lot
still
there.
Y
That
would
be
really
meaty
to
for
the
Commission
to
them
just
kind
of
send
on
to
us,
but
really
because
the
whole
ability
to
figure
out
how
to
use
our
affordable
housing
fund
is
a
whole
new
challenge
and,
and
they
haven't
really
at
it,
I
think
the
Commission
could
profitably
start
talking
about
this.
Without
you
know,
making
any
kind
of
decisions
that
would
interfere
with
the
inclusionary
housing
subcommittee.
A
So,
okay,
so
let's
go:
let's
we're
not
going
to
officially
task
them
again:
SP
six
was
held
and
so
I'm
glad
we
had
this
discussion,
though
so
thank
you
all
to
Monroe
and
Ravel.
For
for
that
and
again
we
can
move
in
any
council
meeting
of
some
council
member
wants
to
move
it
forward
of
a
specific
task
for
housing
and
homelessness.
Let's
go
on
to
call
the
wards.
Let's
start
with
a
you,
aldermen
went.
AA
C
V
AC
I
would
just
like
to
send
our
condolences
out
to
the
family
of
the
gentleman
who
lost
his
life
in
a
fire
in
the
Ninth
Ward,
as
well
as
thank
our
firefighters
from
Evanston.
One
who
had
a
slight
injury,
I
believe
he's
recovering
now,
as
well
as
the
fire
teams
from
I
believe
it
was
Niles
and
will
met
and
Morton
Grove,
who
came
out
to
assist.
Thank.
AB
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I'd
also
like
to
send
out
my
thanks
to
the
police
and
firefighters
who
responded
to
a
and
incidents
at
the
Sherman
Plaza
parking
garage
where
they
were
happily
able
to
prevent
a
a
suicide
and
I
want
to
make
a
reference
back
to
a
and
P
W
for
security
fence
on
the
Sherman
Avenue
parking
garage.
AB
The
other
thing
is
I'd
like
to
remind
First
Ward
residents
that
at
the
Economic
Development
Committee
meeting
on
Wednesday
night,
there
will
be
a
discussion
of
possibility
of
funding
the
north
light
part
of
the
fair
point
or
far
point
project,
so
I
hope
everyone
will
be
paying
attention
to
that.
Thank.
