A
All
right
well,
good
evening:
everybody
we
have
the
entire
Evanston
City
Council
here
for
our
meeting
today,
Monday
November
20th
Thanksgiving
week,
so
happy
Thanksgiving,
early
Thanksgiving
for
everyone.
I
think
we
all
have
a
lot
to
be
grateful
for,
despite
the
challenges
that
we
have
here
in
our
fine
community,
I
hope
we're
all
really
grateful
for
the
wonderful
place
that
we
live
and
so
I
know.
I
know,
I,
feel
that
way.
I
also
appreciate
the
folks
that
are
here
tonight,
because
you
know
this
frankly
could
be
the
most
consequential
meeting
that
we
have.
A
When
we
talk
about
our
city
budget.
Our
city
budget
reflects
our
values
and
our
priorities
as
a
community,
and
so
I
appreciate
everybody
coming
out
and
everybody
that's
watching
at
home.
As
we
discuss
our
2018
budget,
we
have
a
lot
of
tough
decisions
to
make
and
I
think
we'll
have
a
good,
rigorous
discussion
tonight
and
walk
out
of
here
with
a
with
a
plan
so
with
that
I
turn
it
over
to
the
city
manager.
If
you
have
any
public
announcements,
yes,.
D
Mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council
good
evening,
we
are
approaching
the
holiday
season,
as
the
mayor
had
said,
and
a
big
part
of
that
is
shopping
in
Evanston
and
investing
in
the
businesses
that
support
our
community.
Katherine
got
sick
from
the
Maine
Dempster
mile
and
and
Annie
Coakley.
The
executive
director
of
data
and
Avastin
are
here
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
events
that
they
have
planned
both
separately
and
together.
D
F
We
love
Evanston,
and
we
know
you
do
too
now
prove
it
join
Evan
stone,
Ian's
on
Saturday,
November
25th
to
shop,
small
Small,
Business
Saturday
is
a
nationwide
event
celebrating
locally
and
independent
owned
businesses,
as
November
is
a
month
for
giving
back
help
us
give
back
on
Small
Business
Saturday.
When
you
support
local
businesses,
you
support
the
entire
community
on
Small
Business
Saturday,
bring
friends
and
family
members
downtown
to
check
out
special
offerings
and
events
enjoy
a
free
cookie
on
our
cookie
crawl
and
participate
in
a
fun
shopping
passport
program
with
exciting
giveaways.
F
One
of
our
favorite
things
about
Evanston
is
the
great
civic
pride
and
extremely
strong
sense
of
community.
So
let
us
remind
you
why
it's
important
to
shop,
local
local
shopping,
helps
keep
our
community
unique
local
merchants
support.
Nonprofit
organizations
supporting
your
local
economy
supports
your
neighbor.
Small
businesses
hire
from
within
the
community
and
brick-and-mortar
stores,
pay
taxes
that
provide
services
to
our
community.
F
Okay,
so
I,
don't
think
I
have
to
tell
you
how
important
it
is
to
shop
local,
but
it
is
a
portent
message
for
everyone
to
understand
all
those
things
mentioned
in
that
video.
So
we
really
do
encourage
everyone
to
support
the
community
and
shop
in
downtown
Evanston
throughout
the
holidays,
and
tonight
I
will
go
over
some
events
that
we
have
to
bring
people
downtown.
Oh
and
some
advertising,
so
we
have
some
ad
buys
Evanston.
F
Now
we
have
ads
there,
a
shop
Evanston
magazine
which
just
came
back
as
I
understand
we
purchased
an
ad
there,
the
Evanston
Symphony
Orchestra
holiday
program,
guide,
Evanston,
roundtable,
the
newsletter
and
banner
ads
and
the
Chicago
North
Shore,
Convention
and
Visitors
bureaus
website.
We've
also
purchased
1815
second
WBEZ
ads
and
we
will
have
to
week
as
unfocus
as
well
as
paid
facebook
posts.
F
So,
as
you
just
saw
we're
kicking
off
a
new
campaign
and
it
starts
on
Saturday
we
love
Evanston
is
the
hashtag
that
we'll
be
using,
but
the
creative
has
downtown
Evanston
in
the
image
we
kick.
We
kicked
it
off
with
that
video.
We
encourage
people
to
come
downtown
and
take
photos,
and
these
categories
there
will
be
more
press
release,
will
be
going
out,
but
best
dish,
best
storefront
best
public
art
best
of
and
then
we
will
unveil
a
winner
of
these
contest
categories
in
February.
F
So
we
continue
everyone
to
continue
that
use
of.
We
love
Evanston
hashtag,
which
became
popular,
as
many
of
you
may
remember.
Through
the
World
Wildlife
Foundation,
we
love
cities
contests,
of
which
we
came
second
from
Paris
France,
so
we're
bringing
it
back.
We.
These
are
sort
of
the
examples
that
we'd
like
to
see
some
fun
photos
of
people
taking
pictures
and
their
favorite
places
and
using
the
hashtag
Small
Business
Saturday
this
Saturday.
We
are
kicking
it
off
with
brunch
at
Boltwood
from
10:00
to
2:00.
F
There
will
be
a
10%
discount
and
$5
mimosas
to
energize
you
to
shop
all
day,
we'll
have
a
cookie
Crowell.
There
are
21
Evanston
locations
our
passport
program.
This
is
exciting
its
brand
new
to
us.
We
normally
put
our
resources
towards
a
trolley,
but
we
didn't
see
a
lot
of
people
on
the
charlie'd
last
year,
so
we're
refocusing
putting
those
resources
to
actually
what
you
just
received
so
the
wheel
of
Evanston
tote
bag,
a
coffee
mug
and
a
pop
pop
socket.
F
This
is
new
to
me,
but
they're,
very
popular
there's,
one
in
your
bag,
aisle
with
the
wheel
of
Evanston
logo
and
proof
up
to
$75.
Well,
those
will
be
provided
to
anyone
that
can
prove
it
with
their
passport
and
an
entry
to
win
a
dinner
downtown.
Warm
bevy
walk
very
popular.
We
started
this
three
years
ago
and
now
we
partner
with
the
mile.
This
is
Thursday
December
7th.
We
have
like
600
people
signed
up.
For
this
event,
it's
a
to
encourage
local
shopping.
You,
our
downtown
location,
is
that
Vinick
to
check-in.
F
F
There
are
there's
not
a
theme
this
year,
but
so
far
we
have
30
businesses
participated,
it's
just
a
fun
thing
to
go
out
and
check
out
all
these
windows.
People
put
a
lot
of
time
into
them
and
they
look
great.
The
CTA
Holiday
Train
is
scheduled
for
December
13th
and
December
15th
and
we're
going
to
be
doing
some
fun
and
giveaway
events
for
those
as
well
the
tree
lighting.
F
We
have
a
location
change,
as
you
might
have
guessed
so
without
the
tree
at
Fountain
Square,
we
will
be
at
9:09
Davis,
simply
that
is
the
plaza
and
between
or
adjacent
to
chef
station,
at
the
intersection
of
Church
and
maple
that
begins
at
5
o'clock,
with
the
ovens,
10
children's
choir
and
then
in
between
that
Hecky
will
get
the
crowd
excited
at
5:30.
The
mayor
lights
his
first
official
tree,
although
it
won't
be
the
official
tree
forever.
F
It's
a
temporary
tree
this
year,
but
that's
okay
and
then
Evanston
owns
it
will
close
out
the
ceremonies
and
then
at
6
o'clock
we
have
a
sing-along
with
some
old-timey
carolers
kicking
it
off
with
Rudolph,
which
was
written
here,
Rudolph
the
red-nosed
reindeer
and
we
have
free
little
red
noses
to
hand
out
Santa
will
be
at
the
Marion
and
mrs.
Claus
will
be
at
the
Hilton
Garden
Inn
with
hot
chocolate.
G
You
can
pop
right
to
that
second
place.
Oh
hey,
all
right!
First
of
all,
many
of
you
have
actually
already
posted
on
Facebook
that
you've
seen
our
candy
cane
lights,
because
so
many
new
trees
were
removed
and
replanted.
This
year
we
were
unable
to
light
the
trees
again,
but
this
was
our
alternative
and
we're
getting
a
lot
of
positive
feedback
on
it.
G
We
are
very,
very
focused
on
small
business
Saturday
260.
Some
businesses
pay
taxes
in
the
Maine
times
from
Island.
Over
200
of
them
are
independently
owned.
We
have
over
80
independently
owned
storefronts.
If
you
want
to
shop
small,
it's
a
great
place
to
shop
small,
we
have,
we
are
participating
in
the
cookie
crawl.
I,
don't
have
a
final
count
now,
but
I'm
up
over
30
right
now,
Huhn
will
be
giving
away
free
cheese
puffs
in
the
morning,
while
supplies
last
since
Chicago
Maine
newsstand
is
having
organ
music
in
the
middle
of
the
afternoon.
G
Pictures
with
Santa
at
follow
your
nose.
There's
popcorn
bar
at
Guitar
works
and
a
monitor.
Taco
shop
is
having
their
grand
opening
that
day,
so
they'll
have
free
coffee
and
free
tacos
with
purchase
throughout
the
day
hip
circles,
also
holding
their
annual
holiday
hike.
Taking
a
group
of
people
on
a
tour
of
shops
and
sopia's
just
wants
to
get
in
on
the
act,
and
so
they're
teaching
people
to
sew
on
a
button
on
December
9th.
G
G
We
are
mostly
we're
spending
most
of
our
time
leveraging.
In-Store
events
so
you'll
see
just
a
couple
of
them
that
are
particularly
holiday.
Oriented,
follow
your
nose
pictures
with
Santa
for
Finch's
dozen
using
trims
and
Tydings
classes.
There's
a
holiday
sing-along
at
yo,
fresh
guitar
works,
has
New
York
own
concert
and
food
drive,
and
then
we
have
two
ribbon-cutting
ceremonies:
that'll
be
happening
over
the
holidays
as
well.
We
do
almost
all
of
our
advertising
on
social
media.
G
G
A
Excellent,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr.
Bob
quits
City
Clerk
any
communications,
not
today.
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
So
we're
gonna
move
to
public
comment.
Next
on
the
agenda.
Today
we
had
ten
people
sign
up
for
public
comment.
Was
there
anyone
else
out
there
if
you're
not
on
this
list,
but
wanted
to
be
and
just
let
the
city
staff
know
so
we've
got
ten
people,
so
our
rules
are
we
a
lot
45
minutes
total
for
public
comment
and
no
more
than
three
minutes
per
person,
because
we
have
ten
people
that
would
be
third.
A
Thirty
minutes
does
not
mean
you
need
to
use
up
the
whole
thirty
minutes.
If
you
can
get
your
point
across
unless
you're
welcome,
you're
welcome
to
do
that,
we
would.
We
would
appreciate
that
we
will
cheer
and
you
know
I
just
ask
everyone
to.
Please
be.
You
know,
respectful
and
professional,
uncivil
upturning
civil
comment
or
during
public
comment
tonight,
and
so
with
that
we
will,
we
will
go
through
the
list
and
I
apologize
up
front
if
I
mispronounce,
anyone's
name
so
Jackie
April
will
be
first
then
Matt
patent
and
then
Nolan
Robinson.
I
I
have
a
couple
of
topics:
I'm
gonna
talk
about,
but
I'm
gonna
make
it
really
quick.
So
I've
got
fifty
thousand
things
going
on
in
my
mind,
number
one
being
here
tonight,
waiting
for
the
meeting
to
start
one
of
the
cleaning
people
was
spraying
and
I
have
a
sensitivity
to
sprays,
to
the
point
where
I've
actually
been
rushed
to
the
hospital.
So
I've
asked
twice
if
he
could
not
spray
and
he
was
just
cleaning
the
bucket
I.
Just
ask
that
you
guys
take
that
seriously.
I
When
people
say
it
because
you
did
have
a
police
officer
in
the
city
of
Chicago,
have
a
cleaning
person
spray
in
the
middle
of
a
roll
call
and
died.
That's
number
one
number,
two
boy,
that's
a
bad
way
to
start
out
number
two.
If
you
guys
could
stipulate
in
your
monies
that
you
give
to
connections
for
the
homeless,
that
they
have
a
certain
amount
of
money.
That's
put
aside
for
people
that
don't
fall
under
the
criteria
of
mental
and
capacities
or
physical
and
capacities.
I
There
are
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people
who
lost
their
jobs,
families
who
are
homeless
and
if
you
don't
have
children,
if
you're,
not
elderly
or
whatever
you
fall
through
the
cracks
and
I
happen
to
be
one
of
those
people
who
fall
through
the
cracks
and
it's
not
fun.
I
could
tell
you
number
three,
the
Albion
project,
I'm,
very
sad
to
see
the
can't
go.
The
just.
I
I
mean
Tommy,
never
does
oh
sorry,
I'm,
sorry
to
see
Tommy
Nevins
go
for
the
last
I,
don't
know
several
years,
we've
had
all
class
parties
et
HS,
all
class
parties
at
Tommy
Nevins,
and
that
means
whatever
class
you
graduated
from
you're
welcome
to
come,
and
that
was
scheduled
for
December
26,
but
it
had
to
be
cancelled
because
of
this
well,
not
because
of
this,
but
because
Tommy
and
evidence
isn't
going
to
be
there.
So
it's
been
rescheduled
to
this
coming
Friday.
I
So
if
anybody
can
make
it
there
at
9:00
plot,
say
hello
and
goodbye
to
your
classmates
and
have
a
great
time
and
wish
you
know
Tommy
Nevins
and
everybody
a
good
farewell,
because
you
know
they
will
be
missed
and
that
is
all
I
can
think
of
right.
Now,
Thank
You,
council
members,
I
know
what
you
do
is
super
super
hard.
I
want
to
thank
those
people
that
reached
out
to
me
and
are
trying
to
help
me.
It's
greatly
appreciated.
I
know
your
schedules
are
overloaded,
but
thank
you.
That's.
It
have
a
good
night
Thank.
J
Mr.
mayor
and
council
members,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
time
tonight
to
speak
on
lift
realizing
that
every
decision
that
the
city
makes
is
an
important
one
and
definitely
not
an
easy.
One,
certainly
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
explain
our
position
on
the
proposed
tax.
My
name
is
Matt
Pat
and
I'm,
the
Midwest
public
policy
manager
for
a
lift
and
lift
it's
our
mission
to
improve
people's
lives
with
the
world's
best
transportation
service.
J
We
believe
that
by
helping
people
travel
from
one
place
to
another
more
conveniently,
we
can
make
their
lives
easier
and
give
them
time
to
do
what
matters
most
spending
time
more
time
with
their
family.
Their
friends
at
work
or
at
school,
lift
is
more
than
just
the
safe
ride
to
work
home
or
doctor
appointment.
J
It's
a
service
that
allows
people
to
be
their
own
boss
gives
them
flexibility
in
their
schedule
and
the
opportunity
to
earn
supplemental
income
driving
with
our
company
provides
people
from
all
over
the
Chicagoland
area,
with
flexible
earning
opportunities,
puts
over
sixty
eight
million
dollars
back
in
Chicago's
economy
and
gives
individuals
from
underserved
communities
the
ability
to
connect
with
parts
of
the
city
and
suburbs
they
might
otherwise
not
be
able
to
visit.
However,
taxes
like
the
one
we
were
discussing
tonight,
can
make
people
change
their
minds
about
where
they
go
and
how
they
get
there.
J
J
It
could
also
cause
people
to
limit
the
amount
of
times
they
use
for
ride-sharing
services,
possibly
limiting
their
options
for
groceries,
employment
or
how
often
they
go
downtown
epsilen
in
Cook,
County
revit
residents
from
every
corner
seem
to
be
exhausted,
with
taxes
these
days
from
property
taxes
to
the
increase
in
the
recent
pop
recent
pop
tax
people
from
all
over
to
express
their
opposition
with
these
changes.
Ride-Sharing
services
are
clearly
filling
a
major
gap
in
our
transit
system,
providing
residents
with
a
first
and
last
mile
option
that
hasn't
previously
existed.
J
For
example,
in
Chicago
63%
of
drop-offs
and
pickups
take
place
in
underserved
neighborhoods,
while
25%
of
lift
rides
in
Chicago,
starter
and
near
transit
station.
We
value
our
relationship
with
all
the
communities
we
operate
in,
especially
Evanston.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
platform
that
works
for
everyone,
which
is
why
we're
here
to
urge
the
City
Council
support,
ride-sharing
and
reject
this
unnecessary
tax.
K
City
Avastin
bort,
my
name
is
Nolan
Robinson
I've
been
living
in
Evanston
for
17
years
and
I've
been
driving
for
live
for
over
a
year
when
I
lost
my
job
working
in
restaurant
management,
I
signed
up
to
drive
what
live,
and
this
has
been
my
lifeline
of
a
sentence.
Increasing
taxes
on
ride-sharing
will
make
it
more
expensive
for
riders
to
use
the
service
and
less
riders
means
the
coop.
Sorry,
that's
money
for
drivers
like
myself.
K
What
we're
going
hard
to
make
ends
meet
as
a
father
for
ride-sharing
has
enabled
me
to
take
control
of
my
life
by
giving
me
a
steady
source
of
income
and
flexible
schedule.
I
have
twins
in
college
Nolan
in
north
and
I've,
been
using
the
money
I
make
driving
for
lyft
to
pay
that
tuition.
My
responsibility
as
a
father
is
my
number
one
priority
and
having
the
flexibility
to
spend
time
with
my
family
whenever
they
need
me
while
being
able
to
earn,
is
invaluable.
K
Excuse
me
right.
Shane
has
benefited
the
community
of
Evanston
enormously.
It
not
only
allows
countless
drivers
to
keep
their
families
afloat.
It
also
ensures
that
riders
can
commute
more
efficiently
and
have
asked
us
to
ride
safety
rights
for
24
hours
a
day.
Keeping
ride-sharing
affordable
for
people
from
all
backgrounds
and
neighborhoods
is
crucial
as
a
lyft
driver.
Every
passenger
I
mean
every
passenger.
I
have
means
more
money
to
support
myself
and
my
family.
Therefore
I
urge
Evanston
legislators
to
think
about
people
like
me
when
they're
voting
to
propose
the
height
little
nervous.
So
thanks.
A
L
Think
so
much
mayor
and
aldermen
I'm,
sherry,
Kushner
and
I
teach
media
arts
at
shoot.
Middle
school
and
I
just
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
wonderful
collaborations
that
we've
had
with
the
Evanston
Public
Library
and
how
excited
we
are
about
their
proposed
renovations.
I
would
say
about
six
years
ago
the
teen
lost
got
a
3d
printer
and
it
was
kind
of
the
first
one
in
education
space
and
in
working
with
Renee
and
her
staff.
L
Since
then,
I
will
say:
we've
partnered
to
bring
a
lot
more
programming
to
students
in
district
65
schools
every
summer
through
partnerships
with
them,
they've
trained
us
on
a
lot
of
things
that
have
come
out
if
you've
heard
about
the
Arduino
working
with
coding,
problem-solving
programming
and
I
teach
media
arts,
so
graphic
design
working
more
with
3d
space,
and
certainly
we
would
expect.
Of
course,
the
library
provides
a
lot
of
books,
but
they've
also
provided
technology
that
we
can
borrow
in
the
schools.
L
Again.
For
the
last
few
years,
we've
also
had
a
lot
of
collaboration
with
them
to
display
student
work
and
I
know
that
we're
looking
to
expand
some
of
those
spaces
with
their
proposed
renovations,
and
so
that's
an
opportunity
for
students
to
come
out
into
the
community
and
really
see
their
work
in
a
larger
space
and
I
will
also
say
that
something
that
we're
looking
as
we
move
forward,
especially
a
shoot
we're
about
to
have
a
larger
makerspace
beyond
my
classroom
and
parents
are
always
coming
in
at
conferences
saying.
L
How
can
we
get
access
to
this
amazing
equipment
in
the
community
like
3d,
printing
laser
cutting
learning
design,
and
certainly
these
proposed
renovations
would
answer
that
question
providing
an
equitable
space.
That's
free
and
available
to
all
to
really
get
access
to
technology
that
they
could
use
in
their
everyday
lives.
L
M
Good
evening,
mr.
mayor
City
Councilmembers,
my
name
is
Kelly
Rooney
I'm,
the
evidence,
okie
school
district,
65,
math
coach
I'm
just
here
to
share
some
experiences
working
with
the
Public
Library
two
years
ago,
I
had
the
pleasure
to
work
with
Renee
Neumayer
she's,
the
young
adult
young,
adult
services
supervisor,
and
we
partnered
to
offer
a
program
to
project
excite.
We
did
a
game
design
course
which
allowed
students
to
create
video
games
through
scratch
and
to
3d
print
objects
and
make
board
games
to
their
own
imagination.
M
N
Good
evening,
I'm
Ben
Shapiro
1127
Dewey
I'm
old
habit
to
do
it
that
way.
Mr.
mayor
city,
council,
city
manager,
city
clerk,
read
good
evening,
it's
a
pleasure
to
see
you
all
again.
Two
previous
speakers
covered
many
of
the
points
I
wanted
to
make,
so
I
will
keep
it
very
brief
and
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you.
This
town
is
blessed
with
a
wonderful
library
in
no
small
part
because
of
our
ongoing
relationship
with
the
city
city,
employees,
aldermen,
the
mayor's
office
and
certainly
the
city
manager's
office.
N
We
do
the
job
we
do
because
you
guys
have
helped
us
do
that
and
I
wanted
to.
Thank
you
for
that
support.
Now
many
of
you
have
had
to
sit
through
my
elevator
speech
or
heaven
forbid.
Karent's
know
that
libraries
have
faced
a
lot
of
challenges
in
the
last
few
years
and
we
are
continuing
to
meet
those
challenges,
as
you
can
see
in
today's
daily
north-western,
it
was
a
nice
article
about
our
social
worker.
Social
Work
is
one
of
the
ways
that
libraries
have
changed
over
the
last
20
years,
but
there
are
many
others.
N
N
A
building
is
now
in
the
middle
of
its
third
decade,
and
these
renovations
that
we
propose
in
our
capital
improvement
program,
will
allow
us
to
adjust
the
building
to
meet
the
changing
needs
of
this
population
to
help
it
grow
economically,
to
constantly
focus
on
I,
think
one
of
the
Corvette,
the
core
value
of
Ephesus,
which
is
education,
and
so
I
hope
that
you
will
continue
to
support
us
as
you
have
in
the
past,
and
that
you
will
look
very
favorably
at
our
CIP
requests
as
part
of
the
budget.
Thank
you
again.
Thank
you
very
much.
N
O
Made
a
mistake:
I
thought
we
had
five
minutes:
I
will
race
as
best
I
can
good
evening.
Mr.
mayor
serves
Madame's
and
our
esteemed
city
manager,
my
name
is
Wendell
a
Thomas
I've
been
in
Evanston
resident
for
more
than
70
years.
I
am
looking
for
help.
I
hired
a
man
and
lived
next
door
to
me
is
my
patent
attorney
for
a
patent
I
was
seeking
and
for
a
lawsuit
I
wanted
to
file.
He
moved
one
block
away
six
months
ago
and
still
lives
in
Evanston.
While
he
was
my
attorney
violated.
O
Many
of
the
rules
of
the
attorney
registration,
Disciplinary,
Commission
and
I
complained.
He
was
subsequently
suspended
from
the
practice
of
law
for
60
days.
He
acknowledged
his
guilt
on
all
charges
that
the
air
DC
made
against
him
and
signed
an
affidavit
witnessed
by
his
lawyer.
These
acknowledgments
included
his
statements
of
meeting
ex
parte
with
a
Cook
County
judge
in
the
judge's
chambers,
who
turned
out
to
be
an
imposter.
O
His
acknowledgement
also
included
his
claims
that
clerk
at
the
Cook
County
Circuit
Court
had
scammed
him
by
giving
him
a
bogus
docket
number
for
a
lawsuit
he
was
to
filed.
In
my
behalf,
that,
of
course
he
never
filed
his
affidavit
also
acknowledged
that
he
had
perjured
himself
to
the
air.
Do
you
see
in
the
months
that
followed
I
realized?
He
had
done
a
number
of
things
to
me
that
were
criminal
and
I
went
to
the
Evanston
Police
Department
and
requested
that
they
charge
him
for
these
crimes.
O
What
I
did
not
know
at
the
time
I
presented
the
information
the
Evanston
police
was
that
they
were
considering
me
a
suspect
because
of
for
false
police
reports
that
the
suspended
lawyer
had
filed
against
me
six
months
previously,
he
stipulated
in
each
false
police
report
that
the
police
were
quote
not
to
talk
to
Thomas
about
this
report.
Three
of
the
false
police
reports
claimed
that
I
had
damaged
its
vehicles.
O
With
my
black-market
Glock
9-millimeter
pistol,
these
surreal
allegations
were
dismissed
in
court
and
the
judge
deemed
him
quote,
not
credible
and
quote
this
court
finding
meant
he
would
not
be
able
to
call
the
police
on
false
pretenses
to
have
me
arrested,
which
is
a
great
relief
to
me.
Yet
I
am
unable
to
find
peace
knowing
he
has
not
been
held
accountable
for
his
actions
for
filing
false
police
reports.
He
has
never
been
held
accountable.
O
A
A
O
Police
department
is
in
possession
of
the
evidence
of
all
these
crimes,
but
when
I
asked
why
this
person
was
not
being
charged,
the
officer
told
me
that
he
considered
it
a
neighborhood
dispute.
I
have
never
done
anything
negative
to
this
person
or
his
family.
This
person
has
targeted
me.
There
has
never
been
a
dispute
I've
written
a
book
which
is
a
self-published
memoir
titled
trial,
which
is
available
at
the
Evanston
public
library
and
online
sites,
a
retired
criminal
law.
O
Professor
emeritus,
who
has
read
the
book,
stated
in
a
letter
to
me
that
quote
the
justice
system
has
failed.
You
end
quote:
I
feel
our
Police
Department
has
an
obligation
to
enforce
our
laws
and
I'm
asking
for
help
to
ensure
that
they
do
so.
I
would
like
it
understood
that
I
am
NOT
insinuating.
Any
inappropriate
relationship
exists
between
the
police
department
and
this
man's
lawyer,
who
happens
to
work
for
the
city
of
Evanston.
I
am
a
77
year
old
terminal
cancer.
O
Patient,
currently
in
treatment
and
I,
have
lived
in
an
absolute
nightmare
for
the
last
five
years.
The
irony
being
the
nightmare
has
nothing
to
do
with
cancer,
and
I
need
help
and
support
as
I
seek
justice.
If
any
of
you
were
to
recuse
yourselves
from
involvement
in
this
situation
because
of
friendship,
political
endorsement
donations
or
fundraising,
coffee
klatches,
that
would
be
respectful.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
A
P
P
A
P
And
if
you
require
that
of
your
contractors,
I'm
sure
you'll
get
better
contractors
at
the
lowest
price,
because
when
we
include
behaviors,
in
which
we
include
it,
when
I
work
for
30
years
and
pharmaceutical
research,
behaviors
were
included
as
part
of
the
evaluation
purpose
and
there's
no
behaviors.
That
are
really
to
me
obvious.
In
our
goals
of
livability,
the
house
are
as
important
or
more
important.
I
was
rescued,
really
rescued
in
2007
when
I
lost.
P
My
husband
and
I
had
three
tickets
minor
tickets
issued
to
me
when
I
was
in
tears,
saying
I
just
lost
my
husband
30
days
ago
by
an
officer
I
had
I
did
not
know
what
a
panic
attack
was,
except
for
this
kind,
social
worker
who
gathered
me
together
and
basically
comforted
me
and
triage
the
process
to
help
me
be
whole
again
in
terms
of
my
relationship
to
the
city.
This,
however,
really
traumatized
me,
and
but
he
a
was
able
to
ameliorate
that
tomp
trauma.
Now,
there's
no
one
around.
P
Obviously
this
gentleman
to
to
ameliorate
things
that
could
happen
with
the
police
department,
because
we're
not
going
to
have
social
services
at
point
of
service.
We
should
have
social
services
in
City
Hall.
Last
year,
I
was
in
a
very
horrible
situation
which
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
details,
but
trust
me
to
say
it
would
have
been
avoided
instead
of
having
to
talk
to
ten
million
people
by
a
social
worker.
P
Who
would
simply
talk
to
me
about
my
rights
and
what
I'm
able
to
do,
because
I
was
not
afforded
that
information
that
I
could
negotiate,
or
do
things
on
my
behalf
that
I
thought
I
could
not
wasn't
entitled
to
do?
I
had
to
get
the
mayor's
office
to
tell
me
that,
in
terms
of
being
healthy,
you
can
save
money.
P
I
cannot
believe
the
number
of
times
that
litigation
is
in
my
company's
the
pharmaceutical
companies
since
then,
since
I
left
have
taken
advantage
of
litigation
to
take
it
to
do
what
they
need
to
do
in
the
name
of
profit,
profitability
and
they
budget.
For
that.
Instead
of
helping
people
like
retirees,
they
give
them
less
and
budget
for
litigation.
So
I'm
wondering
if
the
budget
can
be
looked
at
seriously
for
liabilities
that
could
be
avoided
if
we
have
a
kinder
gentler
evanston
and
go
back
to
those
values
that
made
us
really
really
great.
P
Q
Hello,
my
name
is
Kelly
Elwood
I
live
on
the
corner
of
Keaney
and
gray
I'm.
Here
with
my
daughter
Elizabeth,
we
are
representing
the
DAWs
School
community
in
the
DAWs
PTA,
which
encompasses
the
2nd,
8th
and
9th
Ward's.
We,
along
with
200
other
people
that
we
have
petitions
from,
are
coming
to
ask
for
your
help
for
getting
our
kids
back
and
forth
to
school
safely.
We
really
need
a
crossing
guard
at
Oakton
and
gray.
Q
We
have
been
hit
more
than
once,
but
on
our
way
to
school.
Just
this
year,
I
distinctly
remember
a
woman
who
skidded
into
us
and
came
literally
two
feet
from
hitting
me.
I.
Also
remember
a
man
who
drove
around
us
purposely
through
the
crosswalk.
This
doesn't
include
the
people
or
the
times
we've
hurried
across
the
streets
or
the
people
we've
seen
in
similar
situations.
Q
The
the
crosswalk
has
become
increasingly
dangerous.
We
have
more
traffic
coming
down
gray
now,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
people
that
cut
through
to
avoid
the
dodge
back
up,
they're
now
cutting
through
our
neighborhood,
and
we
have
more
families
now
dropping
off
at
that
crosswalk.
To
avoid
similar
traffic
on
dodge
district,
65
and
and
Evanston
have
put
our
routes
on
the
safe
routes
school,
so
we're
right
here
on
on
the
Oakton
map
and
the
school
district
tells,
as
the
first
tip,
to
use
crosswalks
on
the
way
to
school.
Q
So
our
children
are
being
directed
to
this
crosswalk
and
I
would
like
to
make
it
as
safe
as
possible.
It
would
cost
about
$21
per
kid
to
keep
them
safe
and
I've
even
heard
from
members
of
the
community.
Who
would
be
willing
to
do
this
job
we're
here
to
ask
for
your
help,
not
because
this
is
an
inconvenience,
but
because
this
is
a
daily
hazard.
It's
very
much
an
accident
waiting
to
happen.
If
the
budget
is
going
to
reflect
the
values
of
our
city,
we
must
make
sure
we,
our
kids
as
a
priority.
Thank
you.
S
A
You
and
thank
you
for
coming
out
Elizabeth
all
right
that
completes
public
public
comment
this
evening.
We
don't
have
anyone
else
signed
up,
so
we
will
move
on
to
the
next
items
in
the
in
the
agenda.
So
tonight
we
have
a
very
busy
night
of
special
order.
It's
as
everybody
knows
lots
of
different
ordinances,
and
all
of
that
so
having
what
I
will
do
is
I
will
go
through
each
one
and
then
and
then
open
it
I'll
open
it
for
a
motion
in
a
second
and
then
for
conversation.
A
E
D
And
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
perhaps
at
the
council's
discussion
it
was
to
transfer
all
the
goals
that
they
had
for
me.
Perhaps
this
one.
Maybe
it's
not
doesn't
make
sense,
because
I
think
that
there
were
some
specific
goals,
specific
projects
associated
with
this
with
the
City
Council's
discussion.
So
perhaps
it
makes
sense
not
to
have
this
one
at
all.
Right.
V
D
A
D
Ma'am
mr.
mayor
on
page
7
of
the
packet
gives
an
overview
of
changes
to
the
budget
balancing
worksheet,
since
we
were
last
together
talking
about
the
budget,
and
it's
been
several
weeks
now.
Mr.
Lyons
is
here
too
to
walk
you
through
the
various
changes
and
I
would
have
you
look
at
page
9
of
the
packet
and
as
staff
is
gathering
as
July
this
year,
so
Murray.
Why
don't
you
just
walk
us
through?
What's
been
highlighted
in
yellow.
W
Yes,
mr.
city
manager,
members
of
council,
mr.
mayor
clerk,
read
so
as
noted
on
the
screen.
This
is
a
document
that
is
familiar
to
everyone.
What
we've
done
is
taken
what
was
originally
presented
earlier
this
year
and
noted
in
yellow
several
changes,
and
these
are
also
in
the
memo
in
your
packet.
I
will
refer
to
this
document
so
that
everyone
that
residents
and
folks
watching
at
home
can
see
so
jumping
right
into
it.
W
We
had
a
correction
of
an
error
that
tax
levies
are
always
listed
as
a
budget
amount
and
not
as
extended
so
police
fire.
All
of
our
levies
were
listed
as
not
as
extended,
but
the
general
fund
was
listed
as
extended,
and
that
means
it
was
2%
higher
than
it
should
have
been.
We
extend
the
2%
extra
so
that
when
we
get
a
payment
of
99
percent
in
total,
we
make
our
budget.
So
this
is
something
that
was
a
correction.
It's
listed
there
too
right
below.
W
Moving
further
down-
and
this
will
be
an
ongoing
item,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
presented
to
you
in
a
budget
memo
is
the
reductions
in
the
clerk's
budget
that
the
budget
team
met
with
a
clerk
about,
and
the
city
clerk
does
have
his
own
options
as
well
things
that
he
would
like
to
present
to
you
tonight.
But
this
is
a
budget
team
recommended
change
that
has
been
communicated
to
the
clerk.
W
The
per
council
discussions
in
the
past
several
weeks
we
have
added
back
in
the
youth
advocate
that
was
originally
a
change
when
we
had
both
victim
advocates
and
youth
advocates,
so
this
would
be
put
into
the
parks,
recreation
and
Community
Services
Department,
with
Kevin
Brown
and
his
team,
rather
than
in
health,
and
there
is
again
for
all
of
these.
There
are
communications
regarding
these
recommended
changes.
W
The
reclassification
of
the
environmental
services
coordinator-
we've
talked
about
it.
This
was
originally
put
in
at
a
level
of
I
believe
it
was
at
65,000,
and
this
is
an
addition
of
another
ten
thousand
dollars
based
on
the
refined
job
descriptions,
and
we,
this
is
a
an
item
that
we
continue
to
look
at
for
this
position.
It
has
been
listed
in
each
case
as
of
January
1.
It's
not
clear
that
we'll
have
somebody
hired
in
on
that
date,
but
that
is
the
addition
there
and.
D
D
We've
continued
to
look
and
refine
this
position.
We
are
not
sure
the
position
is
being
reclassified
from
a
or
asked
me
represent
a
position.
We're
not
sure
that
the
current
Job
Description
is
in
your
agenda.
Budget
memo
packet
makes
sense,
continue
to
be
a
union
position.
We
have
not
had
a
chance
to
meet
and
confer
with
the
union
with
that.
We've
also
continued
to
evaluate
the
Job
Description.
D
X
Mayor
members
of
the
council,
clerk
read
city
manager,
Brava
quits,
deputy
city
manager,
Ericka
story
hi,
as
city
manager,
Robin
quits,
just
discussed.
We
have
looked
at
this
several
times.
We
don't
feel
that
the
job
description
that
we
provided
on
Friday
was
completely
encompassing
of
everything.
We've
had
a
chance
to
discuss
it
with
several
other
employees
in
the
organization.
X
We
think
that
there's
a
possibility
that
the
pay
grade
could
be
elevated
because
we've
established
some
more
concrete
details
of
the
job,
and
that
would
require
higher
levels
of
experience
in
education
that
would
justify
a
higher
salary
on
the
position,
so
we're
still
evaluating
that.
But
we
think
that
it
would
not
make
sense
that
it
would
be
a
union
representative
assertion.
D
D
We'd
like
to
add,
and
as
you
will
make
the
first
use
of
this
this
evening-
we've
added
a
second
column
for
your
use
tonight
to
try
to
keep
track
of
adjustments.
So
we'd
like
to
change
that
number
from
ten
to
twenty
five
thousand
dollar
increase
in
order
to
properly
represent
oh
okay,
so
the
third
column
that
properly
represent
the
adjustment
there.
So
as
we're
going
through
we'll
be
able
to
keep
a
tote
of
where
we're
at
with
with
the
budget
adjustments
but
I
think
with
this
change
with
the
environmental
services
coordinator.
Mr.
D
D'agostino,
who
is
one
of
the
two
bureau
managers
who
had
his
position
proposed
to
be
eliminated?
You
know
he
has
indicated
some
interest
in
this
position.
As
it's
been
re
reconfigured
and
the
salary
has
been
adjusted,
and
so
he
has
decided
that
being
a
candidate
for
a
bureau
manager
does
not
make
sense
for
him
professionally
at
this
time.
So
we
believe
that,
by
making
this
adjustment
to
this
proposed
reclassification
that
that
addresses
the
council's
concerned
community
members
concerned
to
keep
this
expertise
on
staff.
D
W
And
staying
on
the
issue
of
managing
our
urban
forests
for
new
councilmembers,
what
the
city
does
is
in
the
inoculation
of
Dutch
Elms.
We
have
a
reserve
policy
where
we
set
aside
250,000
Ypres
siege
er,
where
we
set
aside
250
thousand
dollars
every
year
and
then
in
a
third
year
we
spend
750
thousand.
We
have
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
budgeted.
Last
year
we
should
have
only
had
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
budgeted
this
year.
We've
had
750
so
we're
reducing
that
to
the
250
thousand
dollars
for
2018.
W
What
that
means
is
we'll
be
doing
a
nominal
amount
of
inoculations
this
year.
That's
a
small
part
of
the
program
and
then
in
a
future
year
we
will
have
set
aside
money
in
a
general
fund
reserve
account
for
the
total,
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
approximate
to
do
the
citywide,
Dutch
elm
disease
inoculation.
C
D
Are
proposing
that
this
Environmental
Services
Coordinator,
a
position
would
be
created
in
order
to
do
that.
Mr.
D'agostino
really
done
an
excellent
job
with
that
work,
but
the
reality
is
it
is.
It
was
a
very
small
part
of
his
overall
responsibilities,
so
we
feel
that,
by
reclassifying
a
position
to
focus
on
that,
then
the
balance
of
his
former
responsibilities
will
be
combined
into
a
Public,
Services,
Bureau
manager
position.
D
So
I
think
as
we're
proposing
this
evening
that
we
will
still
have
this
coordinator
position
available
for
community
members
to
work
with
continue
to
look
at
urban
forest
issues,
the
species
and
variety
of
trees
that
we
are
planting
to
be
more
resilient.
All
of
those
issues
would
remain
with
this
Environmental
Services
Coordinator.
We
also
was
still
brain
to
have
a
forestry
division
supervisor
and
that
position
would
really
focus,
as
it
has
been
on
the
mechanics
of
replanting
trimming
removing
dead
trees.
Things
like
that,
so
I
think
this
met.
This
match
makes
sense
and.
W
With
this
is
not
a
that,
this
position
is
similar
to
others.
As
we
mentioned
the
public
arts,
but
was
also
when
solid
waste
was
originally
in
place.
We've
had
positions
that
managed
projects
and
programs,
not
people
and
that's,
and
so
that's
that
community
part
of
it
where
we
really
are
searching
for
the
expertise
and
the
experience
in
that
community
management.
So
you
need
that
you
know
the
arborist
expertise
along
with
the
community
management
capability,
so
thanks
that
I
think
that's
the
biggest
change
since
the
last
derivation
of
Job
Description.
Thank.
Y
W
Z
A
W
Unfortunately,
that
also
means
there's
no
money
to
go.
Use
out
of
that
anymore,
we
are
down
to
a
very
minimum
amount
in
the
debt
service
fund,
so
we
could
not
use
that
as
a
source
to
have
a
soft
landing.
There
is
a
memorandum
that
explains
this.
It's
our
debt
service
is
a
memo
number
49.
The
the
history
on
that
and
I
want
to
say:
do
we
have
a
second
one
for
the
abatement
process?
Is
it
just
that
one
I'll
check,
but
the
short
of
it
is
we
had.
W
We
have
approximately
1.8
million
dollars
of
bonds
that
if
we
want
to
keep
the
debt
service
levy
flat,
would
need
to
be
abated,
but
we
only
have
a
1.4
million
dollar
transfer
from
the
general
fund
and
I
was
just
rounding
that
had
been
in
last
year's
budget.
That
means
that
we
need
to
either
increase
the
transfer
from
the
debt
from
the
general
fund
to
the
debt
service
levy
or
allow
the
county
to
levy
the
tax.
If
we
do
not
abate,
the
county
will
levy
the
tax,
and
this
is
as
is
noted
in
the
memo.
W
As
we
continue
to
issue
our
bonds
each
year
for
capital
projects,
then
the
county
is
bound
to
levy
attacks
on
our
behalf
on
the
bondholders
behalf
to
pay
those
bonds
off
and
we
abate
them
on
a
case
by
case
basis
from
either
TIF
general
fund
water,
other
sources
and
out
of
the
ten
million
dollars
approximately
that
you'll
see
on
December
11th.
We
just
can't
make
it
with
all
other
sources
other
than
looking
at
a
general
fund
change.
We
calculated
this
about
a
month
earlier
than
the
December
11th
would
have
had
us.
W
Do
it
I've
instructed
staff
to
make
sure
we
do
it
before
the
October
9th
date
of
a
proposed
budget?
So
we
don't
have
this
showing
up
as
a
item
that
could
come
up
later,
because
our
issue
this
year,
when
we
issue
bonds,
will
impact
next
year's
abatement.
That's
why
it's
on
the
on
this
agenda
to
look
at.
Do
we
do
12
million
in
bonds
or
nine
million
in
bonds
in
the
capital
that
extra
three
million
is
two
or
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
on
the
tax
levy?
D
So
the
583
represents
the
15
already
removed.
Yes
and
mr.
mayor
members,
the
council
one
last
comment:
that
is
a
higher
budget
surplus
that
you
have
seen
in
many
years.
I
am
concerned
that,
given
all
the
moving
parts
associated
with
this
year's
budget,
the
the
changes
in
fees
and
charges,
the
changes
of
parking
regulations,
if
those
are
all
agreed
to
those
are
all
they're
fairly
substantial
changes
and
I
think
it's
very
prudent
for
us
to
have
a
fun
balance.
D
No
less
than
this
I
mean
in
that
$500,000
range
would
be
my
recommendation
that
you
consider
so
whatever
other
changes
you
all
feel
are
appropriate
both
on
the
revenue
side
and
the
expenditure
side.
It'd
be
my
recommendation
that
when
we're
done
that
we're
in
that
500,
we
can
keep
583.
That
would
be
great
I.
Don't
know
that
that's
possible,
but
as
high
as
that
barrier
as
possible.
Thank.
W
You
mr.
directions,
just
as
a
follow
up
there
that
connects
to
our
2017,
where
we
are
concerned
about
ending
the
year
balanced,
and
we
think
we
have
a
good
plan
for
that,
but
showing
that
we're
looking
at
having
a
slight
surplus
next
year.
When
we
have
issues
of
revenues
in
2017
shows
good
long
term
planning
and
it
not
just
for
the
purposes
of
doing
long
term
planning.
But
for
our
continued
stability.
A
Hold
on
okay.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
know,
I
know
the
the
clerk
also
has
a
budget
and
wants
to
make
sure
the
councilmembers
understand
what
his,
what
his
request
is
as
wet
as
well.
So
I'm
asked
him
he's
gonna
pass
something
around
right
here
and
then
just
real
quickly
talk
us
through.
So
we
have
that
information
and
then
we'll
start.
This
conversation
we'll
start
with
the
aldermen.
Writing
a
sir
question
not.
B
Reflected
and
the
marvelous
or
whoever's
controlling
that
scroll
up,
what's
not
reflected.
There
is
my
book
my
request
to
maintain
two
deputy
clerks
in
the
office.
That's
the
level
that
we
had
when
I
came
into
office.
The
baseline
cut
amount
is
based
on
a
almost
40%
reduction
in
my
budget
from
2017,
where
a
staff
member
was
transferred
over
to
the
staff
members
transferred
over
to
the
collector's
office
that
dealt
with
that's
dealing
with
the
passport
in
real
estate
transfer
stamps
real
estate
transfer
stamps
is
a
function
when
I
came
into
office.
B
That,
within
the
coat,
is
something
that
belongs
and
under
the
purview
of
the
CFO,
so
I'm
hoping
to
keep
maintained
to
deputy
clerks
in
the
office
based
on
2017
s
budget.
Some
of
the
areas
that
I
hope
the
office
will
focus
on
that
we
haven't
is
around
election
turnout.
We
are
all
fans
here.
Most
of
us
are
fans
here
of
the
star
communities
rating
and
one
of
the
ratings
for
star
communities
is
to
achieve
voter
participation
in
non
presidential
elections
over
60%.
B
That
is
an
effort
that
I
want
my
office
to
lead
on
to
increasing
voter
participation
here.
In
the
city,
another
thing
to
offset
the
total
cost
of
to
maintain
two
deputy
clerks
would
be
an
$85,000
increase
that
includes
salary
and
benefits.
As
I
stated
earlier,
passports
moved
over
to
the
collector's
office
and,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
there
is
there
are
talks
about
getting
rid
of
passport
services
next
year.
B
If
that
serve,
you
know
with
us
keeping
two
deputy
clerks
we'd
be
able
to
take
passports
back
the
year-to-date
revenue
for
passports.
Thus
far
is
$28,000,
I,
suppose
it'll
end
over
$30,000,
so
almost
half
of
the
cost
of
the
deputy
clerk
would
be
covered
by
passports.
Moving
to
my
office
also,
my
office
is
open
until
7,
so
revenue
for
passports
could
potentially
increase
and
potentially
exponentially,
if
were
open
until
7
for
folks
to
access
the
office.
This
year
too,
you
know
to
make
sure
that
my
office
came
in
as
close
to
budget
as
possible.
B
I
took
no
pension.
This
year,
I
also
took
the
furlough
day,
just
like
every
other
city
employee
as
well,
so
I've
made
sure
that
I've
had
skin
in
the
game
and
also
if
the
City
Council
chooses
to
adopt
the
budget.
That's
proposed
by
the
manager's
office.
This
clerk's
office
would
potentially
be
the
lowest
funded
clerk's
office
in
the
state.
If
you
flip
past
the
pages
that
have
the
budget
you'll
see
a
comparison
of
a
number
of
municipalities
and
Evanston's
general
fund
allocation
percentage
of
our
general
fund
that
we
allocate
to
the
clerk's
office.
B
If
we
adopt
this
budget
would
be
a
sixteenth
of
a
percent
and
that's
by
far
the
lowest
of
make
amuse
many
comparable
communities.
If
we
kept
going
through
the
list,
I'm
sure
we'd
find
that,
as
you
can
see
by
far
the
lowest
fund
Clerk's
office.
If
we
accept
this
budget
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
from
members
of
the
council.
A
A
I
think
we're
gonna
I
think
what
we're
gonna
do
is
I
wanted
to
have
the
council
members
have
that
information
now
we're
going
to
start
to
go
through
all
of
these
special
orders
of
business
and
I'm
sure
at
some
point
the
council
will
raise
this
question
about
the
clerk's
office
and
what
to
do
on
that?
Okay,
we
have
a
lot
of.
We
have
a
lot
of
different
items
that
we're
going
to
go
through
that
are
on
this
agenda
so
and
okay.
Z
Z
What
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
do
is
to
then
also
comment
on
the
Chandler
center
and
the
ecology
center,
but
I
can't
do
that,
because
I
can't
find
an
allocation
for
the
ecology
center
in
terms
of
supervision.
So
I
see
how
you
combine
the
Leavey
Center
and
the
Chandler
center,
but
I'm
not
interested
in
doing
that.
Of
course,
and
I
I
don't
see
any
point
in
taking
you
know
six
thousand
dollars
and
putting
it
someplace.
Z
Z
D
Z
One
of
the
things
that
I
was
thinking
about
is
the
person
who
is
currently
being
relieved
at
that
position
is
a
longtime,
employee
and
and
I
am
certain
that
that
position,
the
the
salary
included
extreme
seniority,
I,
would
imagine
so
I'm,
not
sure
what
starting
salary
would
be
for
that
position.
So
if
we
could
talk
about
that,
mr.
D
Mayor
aldermen
are
any
members
the
council
Lawrence
having
Leigh
the
director
of
Parks,
Recreation
and
Community
Services
is
here:
we've
looked
at
options.
Our
recommendation
would
be
that
we
would
manage
that
facility
through
the
the
central
of
the
department
operation,
Karen
Hawk,
the
assistant
director,
who
currently
is
responsible
for
the
ecology
center
and
the
noise
Cultural
Arts
Center
would
take
on
that
responsibility.
I
think
there's
some
opportunities
for
us.
D
This
would
be
the
first
time
there's
been
a
new
center
manager
at
Chandler
in
30
years,
I'm,
sorry
in
31
years,
so
I
think
we
would
like
first
to
see
what
what
we
can
do
there,
and
certainly
through
the
course
of
next
year,
if
not
longer,
I'll
have
miss
Hawk
work
with
the
staff
at
Chandler
and
in
meeting
with
mr.
Hemmingway
and
Miss
Hawk
earlier
today.
They
feel
very
confident
if
the
council
would
choose
to
go
this
way.
D
I'll
mention,
of
course,
before
of
that
the
levy
center
manager
has
had
other
duties
over
time
has
managed
the
ecology
center
when
Miss
Ferrara
was
there
when
Miss
Hawk
was
there.
So
there
is
a
history
of
that
position,
also
managing
a
smaller
center.
However,
if
the
council
chooses
to
reinstate
the
full-time
levy
position,
we
would
we
would
not
move
forward
and
we
would
continue
to
recommend
half
the
Chandler
position
eliminated
and
we
would
manage
it
in
other
ways.
Okay,.
D
Z
First
of
all,
in
defense
of
the
levy
center
having
a
full-time
manager,
I
believe
that
we're
going
into
a
new
a
new
era
and
that
so
many
people
are
going
to
be
using
the
Leavey
Center
and
it's
such
a
variety
I,
and
not
only
that
we're
also
talking
about
adding
programs
that,
let's
give
it
the
new
manager
an
opportunity
to
really
beef
up
that
Center.
It's
got
a
lot
of
things
going
for
it,
but
I
think.
S
A
A
Z
V
V
D
Centers
have
very
small
staff.
Again
we've
had
internal
discussions.
We
feel
if
this
is
the
way
the
council
wishes
to
proceed,
but
this
is
this
is
why
we
could
do
that.
I
think
the
the
opportunity
to
take
a
fresh
look
at
Chandler,
something
we
have
not
done
for
a
very
long
time
actually
is
pretty
energizing
for
the
staff.
There's
some
longtime
staff
who've
worked
at
Chandler
who
see
this
as
an
opportunity
to
really
rethink
of
that
so
I
think.
D
As
alderman
Rainey
has
said,
while
we
can
continue
to
look
at
levy
growing
I
think
there's
some
opportunities
of
Chandler
that
this
may
give
us
an
opportunity
to
to
flush
out
as
well.
So
we
feel
very
comfortable
mr.
Hemingway
and
his
staff
feel
comfortable
there's
a
long
time
standing
staff
at
Chandler
who
are
excellent
employees
I
think
everyone
feels
that
if
this
is
the
direction
of
the
council,
the
Chandler
will
not
suffer
by
doing
this.
Okay.
A
Z
C
A
S
D
Mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
the
past
practice
of
the
council
has
been
these
are,
in
essence,
straw,
votes
and
so
with
the
council
making
these
decisions,
we
make
the
adjustments
here.
It's
our
hope
that
at
the
end
of
the
evening,
you
have
made
all
the
adjustments
to
the
proposed
budget
that
you
will
and
then
we
will
prepare
the
appropriate
ordinances
for
you
to
take
action
on
next
week
on
the
27th.
E
AC
S
D
Z
W
That,
but
as
you
look
at
the
screen-
and
this
is
what
alderman
Rainey
was
also
they'd
pointing
out
what
we've
done
is
the
142
889
is
the
removal
of
that
person
who
was
incumbent,
their
total
cost.
Then
the
removal
of
the
the
other
center
director
is
the
removal
of
that
incumbent
amount
and
the
addition
of
one
of
the
the
120
to
735.
Z
W
Because
the
the
net
impact
of
what
we've
just
said,
is
that
really
the
only
thing
we're
doing
here
is
changing
from
having
a
three
quarter,
one
quarter
to
having
a
one
and
A
zero
and
the
assistant
director
position,
as
well
as
staff
in
parks
and
recs,
will
handle
the
Chandler
Neuberger
Center.
Okay,.
D
A
Z
AD
So
I
think
that,
based
on
a
confusion,
I
would
move
that
we
reopen
the
vote
to
allow
everybody
to
vote
based
on
I
think
the
spreadsheet
didn't
catch
up
with,
with
your
mind,
I,
don't
think
two
of
my
colleagues
to
my
right,
understood
career
with
that.
The
the
motion
based
on
what
was
showing
on
the
screen
and
now
it's
caught
up
so
I
think
that
they
had
misunderstood
that
so
I
move
that
we
reopen
the
vote
to
a
second.
Y
V
Right
so
I
do
have
a
question
about
the
new
Environmental
Services
Coordinator,
so
deputy
director
deputy
city
manager,
from
store
Lee
mentioned
that
this
would
kind
of
be
a
comparable
position
to
like
our
cultural
arts
manager
and
such
where
they
manage
programs
but
not
staff.
So
my
question
is:
with
this
classification
and
salary
match
that
of
comparable
managers.
You
gave
a
number
of
142
or
whatever
it
was.
W
D
X
X
D
U
C
X
U
X
Some
complimentary
aspects
to
it,
I'm
sure
they'll
be
working
closely
in
coordination
because
there's
a
lot
of
recycling
and
waste
reduction
initiatives
that
they're
part
of
the
position,
but
the
majority
the
position
is
managing.
There
have
been
forests
and
working
with
the
community
groups,
so
they
will
be
working
in
tandem
on
some
issues,
but
it's
definitely
us
a
separate
position.
S
V
D
V
D
V
D
D
V
Someone
next
one
is
the
budget
memo
for
the
actually
implement
our
Complete
Streets
policy,
and
so
that
one
would
essentially
at
sidewalk
repair
we're
needed
on
the
streets
where
we're
repaving
and
so
director
stone
back
made
a
proposal
that
I
can't
find.
But
anyhow
it
cuts
off.
That's
proposed
to
streets
this
year
from
our
water
main
and
from
our
repaving
account,
whatever
that's
called
so
that
we
can
also
improve
the
sidewalks,
and
so
my
theory,
for
that
is
we're
going
to
this
transit
friendly.
V
We
obviously
know
we
have
the
50/50
which
people
may
or
may
not
participate
in
to
repair
their
sidewalks.
But
if
we
want
to
have
the
most
livable
city
and
also
have
people
have
a
you
know,
safe
pedestrian
experience,
I
think
it
is
worthwhile
for
us
to
cut
back
on
one
Street
so
that
we
can
implement
improving
the
sidewalks
as
needed.
A
D
Ottoman
Ravel
members
of
the
council
I
think
we
are
challenged
with
sidewalks.
We
have
a
greater
need
for
funding
from
the
city
for
sidewalk
repair.
Then
we
could
possibly
have
I
see
Lara
coming
into
the
room
and
I
hate
to
put
her
on
the
spot
here
right
now.
But
what
are
the
what's?
The
approximate
backlog
for
a
fifty-fifty,
sidewalk
citywide
that
are
not
related
to
any
kind
of
city
capital
project,
hello,.
AE
Everyone,
my
name
is
Laura
Biggs
I'm
City
Engineer,
so
we
do
about
$200,000
worth
of
sidewalk
repairs
and
about
we
budget
about
150,000
and
the
end
result.
The
$50,000
is
paid
for
by
residents
we
find
were
going
over
by
about
ten
to
fifteen
thousand
dollars
a
year
and
taking
that
money
from
other
projects,
basically
and.
D
AE
The
question
you
asked
about
what
would
be
the
impact
part
of
the
issue
is
the
management
of
the
50:50
sidewalk
program.
As
we
do
it,
we
only
fix
the
sidewalks
once
the
homeowner
actually
pays
the
invoice.
That
process
is
incredibly
involved
and
would
probably
hold
up
the
larger
projects
because
of
the
time
it
takes
to
go
out.
Work
with
residents
get
their
agreement
to
do
it,
go
back
out,
send
out
invoices
get
them
to
pay
them
it.
It
would
be
hard
to
manage
that
within
another
project.
V
AE
AE
Residents
would
not
be
paying
any
of
the
share;
it
would
all
be
paid
for
the
city
by
the
city,
so
basically
the
project
manager
of
that
project.
We
just
go
out
mark
the
squares
that
we're
going
to
be
done
and
the
whole
back-and-forth
with
residents
about
am
I
going
to
be
in
the
program.
Am
I
not
going
to
be
in
the
program
that
part
would
be
eliminated,
so
it'd
be
pretty
easy
to
just
include
it.
If
the
residents
weren't
not
involved
in
paying
my.
V
Other
advocacy
point
is
that
in
our
capital
improvement
plan
that
I
guess
we'll
discuss
tonight
or
next
week,
we
have
also
further
reduced
the
bicycle:
pedestrian
improvement,
traffic-calming
budget
by
another
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars.
So
I
don't
know
exactly
where
that
falls
in
with
our
5050,
but
we
have
more
reductions
coming
in
our
capital
improvement.
So
I
know
there
people
in
my
ward,
who
needs
IROC
repairs,
but
who
can't
afford
that
more?
V
Who
just
choose
not
to
abuse
the
two
hundred
dollars
for
that
and
I'm
willing
to
lose
one
of
my
own
streets
that
has
pretty
bad
sidewalks
so
that
for
the
greater
good
of
the
city
we
can
get
moving
with
this
sidewalk
improvement.
Also
I
think
we're
going
to
transit
friendly.
We
know
we
have
only
two
I
think
Howard
Street,
Linden
and
Davis
Street
that
are
actually
ADA
accessible
for
our
train
routes,
so
we're
trying
to
move
to
transit,
friendly
and
transit
oriented,
but
sidewalks
is
definitely
a
part
of
that.
AD
AD
U
AE
So
the
way
that
the
water
main
street
was
selected
to
be
removed,
as
this
is
the
water
main
that
has
the
least
maintenance
problems
of
the
water
mains
that
were
selected
to
be
done.
So
the
money
doesn't
necessarily
match
up
one
for
one,
but
if
we
have
to
remove
a
street,
this
is
the
one
that
our
staff
said.
They
would
find
most
acceptable
to
remove
from
the
program.
AE
AD
AE
The
the
issue
really
just
becomes
the
mixing
of
funding
sources,
so
MFT
is
funded
a
certain
way
and
certain
things
are
allowed
and
the
projects
are
designed
a
certain
way
and
so
in
sidewalks
would
be
an
acceptable
use
of
MFT
funding.
But
the
water
main
streets
and
which
do
include
some
street
resurfacing,
are
funded
through
a
totally
separate
funding
source.
AE
So
it's
not
so
simple
to
just
say:
we'll
only
remove
an
MFT
street
and
it
will
cover
everything
or
will
only
remove
a
water
main
street
and
I'll
cover
everything,
because
basically,
what
happens
is
you're
using
general
obligation,
bonds
on
the
MFT
program
or
MFT
funds
on
a
program.
That's
not
usually
funded
through
enough
team,
but
it
could
be
done,
but.
W
AE
Is
helping
the
Geo
issue
because
the
water
main
projects
are
generally
funded,
where
the
water
main
pays
for
the
water
main
and
the
trench
patching
above
the
water
main
and
a
full
street
resurfacing
is
paid
for
by
general
obligation
bonds.
So
the
funding
sources
there
are
combined.
If
we
eliminate
that
Street,
we
are
eliminating
$170,000
worth
of
general
obligation,
bonds,
a
portion
of
which
may
go
to
pay
for
the
sidewalk
on
other
streets,
but
we
would
not
use
the
470,000
we
would
be
using
about
fifty
thousand.
AA
AE
The
list
that
I'm
aware
of
is
where
the
H
friendly
folks
went
out
and
told
us
where
sidewalks
were
bad.
They
tended
to
focus
right
where
there
were
nursing
homes
or
senior
centers
or
healthcare
facilities
of
some
kind,
and
what
we
did
is
then
we
went
and
included
them
on
a
list
of
people
that
are
contacted
for
voluntary
participation
in
the
50:50
sidewalk
program
and
quite
a
number
of
them
did
participate.
But
right
now
we
don't
have
a
mechanism
for
mandatory
enforcement
of
sidewalk
repair.
AA
D
AF
Evening,
mayor
city,
clerk
alderman,
based
on
that
Public
Works
Agency
director,
first,
the
the
ordinance
does
allow
for
mandatory
sidewalk
repair,
but
it
has
been
the
city's
policy
not
to
do
that.
We
replace
sidewalks
using
the
50-50
program
when
we
are
made
aware
of
uneven
sidewalks
or
danger
spots.
AA
And
I'm
going
back
to
alter
and
Ravel's
point,
because
I
think,
if
I'm
understanding
it
correctly,
if
we're
focusing
on
streets
that
are
going
to
be
resurfaced
anyway
and
that's
when
we
go
down
the
street
and
we
look
for
the
sign.
The
sidewalk
parts
that
need
to
be
patched
then
are
we:
are
we
ignoring
them?
Sidewalks
that
may
be
in
greater
disrepair
throughout
the
city?
AA
AA
AG
Mayor
members
of
council,
mr.
Clerk
grant
for
our
corporation
counsel
with
respect
to
sidewalk
cases.
Each
fact
pattern
has
its
own
attendant
circumstances
and
can
be
different,
but
one
of
the
generalities
is
the
concept
of
open
and
obvious,
and
one
of
the
things
where
the
city
has
been
extremely
successful
in
the
last
eight
to
nine
years
is
litigating.
AG
These
sidewalk
cases,
both
on
the
summary
judgment
stage
and
all
the
way
up
to
product
after
a
jury,
trial,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
emphasize
is
that
the
city
may
may
be
liable
in
instances
where
it
has
constructive
or
apparent
notice,
which
is
a
difficult
legal
standard,
even
in
Cook
County
for
plaintiffs
and
their
lawyers
to
meet.
So
what
we
do
is
we
take
a
cautious
yet
very
considerate
approach,
working
with
the
Public
Works
Administration
to
to
assess
issues
as
they
come
up
on
an
as-needed
basis
in
terms
of
liability
issues.
AG
Just
speaking
in
generalities,
I
would
be
loath
to
to
talk
about
situations
on
a
citywide
basis,
because
again
Sidewalk
cases
by
the
very
nature
of
very
fact-intensive.
In
fact,
it's
specific
all
I
can
say
is
that
working
with
the
Public
Works
Agency,
the
law
department
has
been
able
to
constrict
the
liability
in
these
instances,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
so.
AA
AA
AF
Our
practice
to
try
to
patch
them
as
soon
as
we
were
made
aware
of
the
deficiency
in
case
the
city
has
used
50/50
money,
budgeted
for
a
50/50
sidewalk
to
replace
city-owned
sidewalks
and
one
is
we
leased
the
property
from
along
the
canal
and
on
I
think
it
was
Lincoln
Street
last
year
that
sidewalk
was
in
very
poor
condition,
so
the
city
just
paid
for
the
replacement
of
that
sidewalk.
So
we
we
try
to
maintain
the
sidewalk
around
city-owned
properties,
the
other
side
Walker
done
quite
a
50-50
program.
Okay,.
AA
Z
We've
just
spent
about
five
or
ten
minutes
explaining
what
our
policy
is
regarding
broken
sidewalks.
In
addition
to
that,
though,
we
do
have
a
Community,
Development,
Block
Grant
program,
where
we
will
do
almost
an
entire
block
in
a
Community
Development
Block
Grant
area,
where
there
are
broken,
sidewalks
and
curbs
for
free
if
the
neighborhood
qualifies.
However,
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
a
whole
different
policy
and
I
think,
instead
of
in
the
heat
of
the
moment
of
budget
deliberations,
I
don't
think
we
ought
to
change
our
policy.
Z
It
seems
to
be
working
and
to
and
to
go
this
route.
I
I,
don't
think
it.
This
is
the
proper
time
to
change
the
policy.
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
idea
and
I
can't
believe
that
we
aren't
doing
it
is
when
our
engineering,
people
and
Public
Works
people
go
out
to
assess
the
street
to
be
repaved.
If
they
see
terribly
crumbling
sidewalks,
you
don't
report
it.
You
know
to
Public
Works
and
say
we
need
to
patch
the
sidewalk,
but
I
mean
other
than
that
I.
Z
Z
Y
Yes,
I've
thought
about
this.
A
lot
and
I
think
to
me
the
the
the
decision
to
not
do
a
water
main
project
to
me
has
more
consequences
than
it
is.
Balancing
out
is
not
the
right.
The
wise
decision,
because
failure
of
a
water
main
is
a
catastrophic
infrastructure
failure
which
costs
multiple
times
to
fix
it
in
an
emergency,
and
if
we
decide
to
opt
into
this
route,
then
we're
over
time
like
every
five
years,
not
doing
what
a
mile
of
water
main
by
your
calculation
am
I
doing
the
math
right
Dave
over.
Y
Why
a
mile
of
water
may
not
being
done
so
I,
don't
want
to
make
that
choice.
I
would
rather,
that
we
continue
to
maintain
our
infrastructure
and
if
this
water
main
was
already
flagged,
as
this
street
was
already
flagged
as
needing
repair,
I
would
rather
do
that
and
then
stay
with
the
sidewalk
repair
policy,
but
all
the
many
plumbing
I
do
credit
you
with
creativity
on
this
one
but
I,
but
I,
think
the
water
main
infrastructure
is
so
critical
and
failure
is
not
an
option
for
us
on
that.
AD
Alderman
Wilson
thank
you
and
and
I
was
leaning
towards
wanting
to
do
the
walk
called
the
sidewalk
program,
but
I
do
have
to
agree
with
alderman
went
on
the
water
main
issue
because
we're
already
behind
on
the
water
mains
I
think
significantly.
So
it's
probably
an
understatement,
but
what
I
would
like
to
do?
You
know
not
in
this
budget,
maybe
over
the
course
of
the
next
year
is,
is
look
at
this
because
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
and
there
are
efficiencies
and
doing
it
at
the
same
time.
AD
U
V
Right
so
I
see
it's
not
going
anywhere,
but
I
do
want
to
point
out
to
the
council.
We
do
have
a
policy
for
this,
so
back
in
May,
I,
believe
director,
night
and
or
Leonard
I
guess
brought
this
up.
So
we
voted
to
pass
our
Complete
Streets
policy,
which
this
is
the
complete
street
policy,
so
I'm,
not
that
creative
and
then
I
made
it
up.
It's
the
complete
street
policy.
Now
we
can
just
choose
to
not
implement
it
at
this
time,
but
we
did.
We
do
have
a
policy,
we
do
have
a
resolution.
A
AA

I
was
just
gonna,
make
it
worse.
Small
comment:
I
I
think
that
an
alderman,
Fisk
I
completely
agree
with
your
point
in
sentiment,
but
when
we
passed
the
ordinance
originally
I'm
a
little
uncomfortable
with
it,
because
we
put
a
number
of
restrictions
on
those
businesses
and
and
that
you
know
at
some
point
down
the
road
I
think
we
might
want
to
revisit
what
the
restrictions
are.
Tonight's,
not
the
night
but
I'm.
Just
you
know
good
Nick,
that's
just
my
way
of
explaining
my
my
intended
vote
on
this
Alvin.
AB

AA
Mr.
Veera
and
alderman
Simmons
I
think
we
can
talk
about
this
in
the
future,
but
I
I
think
it's
important
to
remember
that
the
the
extraordinary
vote
on
the
part
of
the
council
was
to
allow
basically
a
commercial
use
in
an
r1
single-family
zone.
We've
never
done
this
before,
and
it
was
the
feeling
of
the
council
that
these
were
these.
The
two
commercial
B&BS
were
something
that
the
council
wanted
to
vote
in
favor
of
and
they
did,
but
the
directions
that
are
on
them
are
are
basically
to
protect
the
integrity
of
the
r-1
zone.
AA
AA
Z
I've
said
in
the
past
that
I
will
only
support
taxing
the
to
bed
and
breakfast
when
we
license
all
the
bed
and
breakfast
because
we
know
we
have
other
bed
and
breakfast
is
like
this
town
that
we
have
ice
close
to
and
we
I
know
some
of
us
know
exactly
where
some
of
them
are
and
I
think
it's
unfair
to
single
out
the
the
two
famous
ones
and
let
the
others
operate
under
the
radar.
Thank.
Y
Of
no
other
B&BS
alderman
Rainey
anymore
they're,
the
two
that
you're
referring
to
did
exist
in
the
Third
Ward
and
they
don't
anymore
of
the
does
exclude
and
Erin.
You
know
if
we're
not
going
to
tax
the
B&Bs,
that
we
should
not
tax
the
air
B&B
x',
because
air
B&B
don't
have
a
liquor
license.
If
that's
the
distinguishing
issue
that
we're
making
this
excluding
the
B&B
is
then
on
is
a
liquor
license
or
selling
merchandise.
Y
Then
we
shouldn't
tax,
the
air
B&B
there,
the
air
B&B
czar,
providing
accommodations
overnight
accommodations,
the
B&B
are
providing
accommodations,
an
alderman
Rainey.
You
give
me
the
names
of
locations
where
you
know,
there's
a
B&B
operating
all
calling
in
I'm,
not
a
snitch
I'll,
be
one
it
won't.
It
won't
be.
It
won't
be
from
my
word:
I'll
be
the
snitch
up
for
anything
in
your
ward,
be
so
defensive.
I
didn't
don't
know.
AH
AD
You
don't
disagree
all
in
one
I,
don't
see
specific
exclusions
as
I
again
and
I
said:
I
was
speaking
from
memory.
I,
don't
see
some
of
these
things
specifically
excluded,
but
I
don't
see
them
provided
for
so
autumn
rusyn
as
I
guess,
I
can't
I
can't
fully
answer
your
question.
Without
you
know,
spending
more
time
on
it,
I
don't
think
it'll.
It
provides
for
allowing
a
liquor
license.
I
think
you
have
to
vet
again
I'm
shooting
from
the
hip
here
so
so.

We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
provide
24/7
on-call
coverage
for
this,
and
our
concern
is
that
with
only
two
people
that
the
reliability
to
do,
that
is
really
something
we're
concerned
about
alderman
Fisk
ass
today
for
a
survey
of
what
other
communities
doing.
Quite
a
so
I
was
pretty
shocked
to
see
what
other
communities
do
that
in
many
communities.
D
If
you
have
trauma
between
nine
and
five
you're
in
good
shape,
if
you
don't
sorry
I
think
as
I
was
we've
had
this
discussion
with
the
council,
it
seems
that
the
most
important
thing
we
can
do
is
to
have
someone
there
whenever
is
needed
and
I
think
that
to
have
two
full
time,
folks
I
think
we're
very
concerned
that
we'll
be
able
to
deliver
on
that.
So
that.
R
Is
correct
good
evening
Ivana,
Thomas,
Smith
health,
director,
mayor
Haggerty,
city
clerk,
read
and
council
members
that
would
be
incredibly
difficult
to
manage
a
24-hour
seven-day-a-week
coverage
with
just
two
full-time
employees.
The
ask
was
to
have
a
full-time
manager
and
to
have
three
part-time
employees
working
28
to
30
hours,
so
there
can
be
some
overlap
and
also
some
scheduling
for
beyond
the
9
to
5
hours,
which,
unfortunately
a
lot
well.
R
C
R
Well,
well,
what
may
not
be
clear
in
the
job
description
when
you
talk
about
short
and
long
term
case
management
that
is
Victim
Services?
That
is
not
at
all
suggesting
just
a
referral
model.
There
will
be
some
referrals
made
to
appropriate
organizations
as
that
worker
deems
necessary
or
that
manager
deems
necessary,
but
the
actual
employee
will
provide
that
short
and
long
term
case
management,
whether
that's
individual
counseling,
whether
that's
group,
counseling
and
then
of
course,
referrals
as
appropriate.
But
referral
would
not
be
the
first
initial
point
of
contact
as.
A
AD

AI
AD
If
we
had
to
foot
because
I
looking
at
the
Job
Description
I
see
a
lot
of
it
would
be
daytime
oriented
work.
Just
you
know
the
advocacy
the
court
did
you
all
of
these
things
would
one
part-time
person
that
was
focused
on
after-hours
on-call
responsibilities?
Would
that
make
it
manageable
I
want
it
to
be
manageable,
so
we
all
want
it
to
be
manageable.
What
do
you
think
that
would
obviously
it's
more
manageable,
but
would
that
be
doable?
Do
you
think.
AI
If
I
would
I
would
like
to
suggest
that
the
the
reason
that
director
Smith's
has
the
number
of
part-timers
in
her
request
that
she
does
is
to
manage
that
the
the
the
police
department
staff
did
a
quick
survey
this
afternoon
for
the
city
manager
regarding
on
what's
going
on
in
other
jurisdictions,
I
think
this
is
very
valuable
information,
however
size
does
matter.
Volume
does
matter,
we
do
more.
AI
Actually,
the
victim
advocates
do
more
domestic
violence
work
than
those
jurisdictions
combined,
and
so
we
are
going
to
need
the
number
of
people
as
laid
out
by
director
Smith
or
it.
If
we
reverted
back
to
the
old
way,
we
would
need
again
to
staff
up
to
what
we
had
full-time
people
to
handle
this
and
once
again,
the
difficulty
in
this
issue
this
evening
is
this.
Is
this
has
been
foisted
on
us
by
a
dire
economic
situation?
I
didn't
go
to
the
city
manager
and
say
well,
one
day,
I
was
thinking.
That's
not
how
this
happened.
AI
Think
a
director
Thomas
has
done
an
admirable
job
in
figuring
out
what
they
do,
how
they
do
it
and
how
to
staff
it
in
this
difficult
situation
and
further
with
the
two
victim
advocates
that
are
here
this
evening,
I've
got
nothing
too
good
things
to
say
about
them
about
their
professionalism
and
their
performance
in
these
tasks.
But
what
brings
us
here
tonight
is
not
them
or
their
performance.
It's
our
financial
standing
and
in
that
context,
of
the
financial
standing,
the
director
Smith
has
cobbled
together
a
a
reasonable
plan
to
address
that
issue.
Z
I
think
director
Thomas
deserves
a
medal
and
I,
don't
know
how
she
does
everything
that
she
does.
Nor
do
I
know
how
the
victim
services
people
do
what
they
do,
though.
The
one
missing
link
here
and
I
am
I'm
really
a
little
disappointed,
and
that
is
where
has
the
ywa
wife
WCA
been
in
this
I
know
that
they
came
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
made
a
statement
that
made
me
think
everything
was
going
to
be
okay.
Z
Are
they
going
and
you
had
communications
with
them?
Are
they
gonna
step
up
and
help
out
because
they
certainly
are
in
the
domestic
violence
business,
and
we
certainly
do
need
some
support
from
our
community
members,
especially
those
who
are
doing
pretty
well
in
the
Grant's
business.
These
days,
sure.
R
Her
staff
will
provide
some
of
the
training
because
we
look
to
them
as
the
experts
on
the
domestic
violence
area,
and
we
know
that
a
large
amount
of
time
and
commitment
is
in
the
domestic
violence
intervention
world.
So
we
will
look
to
them
as
our
partner
and
I'd
say,
roughly
maybe
65
70
%.
The
bulk
of
the
work
is
around
domestic
violence,
intervention
and
perpetrator
training,
but
we
don't
want
to
forget
the
other
components
like
death,
notification
and
tragic
loss
that
some
of
our
residents
experience
as
well.
So,
yes,
she
has
her
entire
department.
R
Sure,
and
also
I
just
want
to
also
remind
the
council
that
our
hope
is
that
the
job
descriptions
that
you
were
presented,
they
will
not
work
in
isolation.
We
currently
have
four
licensed
clinical
social
workers
on
staff
that
work
on
our
Human
Services
Division,
so
there
will
be
some
complementary
support
offered
to
the
manager
and
the
part-time
staff
that's
proposed
in
the
budget.
So
our
hope
is
that
none
of
these
entities
will
work
in
silo,
but
they
will
work
in
complement
of
with
some
of
the
Human
Services
components
that
they're
working
with
now.
AD
I'm,
just
trying
to
make
sure
I
understand,
I,
think
I
understand
the
needs,
but
I
want
to
understand
the
operational
needs
from
premier
perspective.
It
sounds
like
one
of
the
things
you
do
feel
like
you
need
is
a
coordinator,
so
a
person
who
coordinates
the
operation
of
the
services
and,
obviously
that's
the
full-time
person
you've
suggested.
AD
So
what
I
wonder
in
it,
but
I'm
concerned
about
the
you
know,
law
on
call
the
situation,
obviously
with
just
the
two
people
that
are
trying
to
cover
all
that,
so
what
I
end
I'm
just
bouncing
stuff
off,
so
it
might
be
a
terrible
idea
or
not.
But
if
we
had
the
full-time
coordinator,
a
second
full-time
position
and
a
part-time
to
help
provide
relief
for
that
on-call
situation.
AD
AD
Obviously
one
of
the
full-time
would
have
to
be
the
coordinator,
because
that
that's
something
that
you
need
so
coordinator,
another
full-time
person
again
just
kind
of
hearing
what
some
of
these
needs
a
lot
of
the
work
is,
you
know
a
resource
that
people
can
go
to
during
the
day,
but
obviously
there
is
a
significant
need.
Emergencies
don't
just
happen
during
the
day,
but
we
can't
expect
to
people
to
just
you
know
cover
you
know.
It's
like
a
doctor's
office.
You
don't
have
just
two
doctors
on
call
at
the
hospital.
R
You
you
know
what
I
guess:
what
I
proposed
is
the
one
full-time
person
in
three
part-time
to
work
throughout
the
7-day
period.
Could
it
work
with
two
full-time
and
one
part-time
I
think
it
could?
My
challenge
is
I
want
to
offer
this
as
a
possibility
and
then
have
the
opportunity
to
revisit
it
if
it
doesn't
work,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
want
this
to
work
for
the
community
right.
AD
R
Don't
want
to
I'm
not
married
to
I
think
there
needs
to
be
a
full-time
person
to
coordinate
it
and
I
think
there
needs
to
be
additional
staff
to
support
it.
What
that
looks
like
in
terms
of
the
volume
I
propose
the
three
but
could
to
part
full-time
and
one
part-time.
We
can
try
that
I
mean,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
a
successful
support
to
the
community
right.
AD
A
D
D
D
X
I
also
wanted
to
mention
that
the
hours
coverage
that
we
used,
the
calculation
we
had
the
full-time
person
at
thirty
seven
point
five
hours
a
week,
which
is
a
standard
in
the
part
time:
three
part-time
people
at
twenty
eight
hours
a
week.
That's
approximately
a
hundred
and
twenty
five
hours
a
week
of
coverage
with
two
full-time
and
one
part-time.
That
would
be
108
hours
of
15
ish
less
hours.
If
we
went
with
that
option,
okay,.
D
T
X
R
D
U
C
C
So
I'm
concerned
about
the
community
and
these
cars
are
going
out
when
our
residents
are
dealing
with
the
most
vulnerable
times
that
they'll,
probably
ever
experience
and
relationships.
It
seems,
are
important
in
this
area
and
so
I
understand
that
one
of
the
current
employees
has
a
relationship
to
the
community
and
actually
return
back
here
to
take
her
current
job
and
so
I'm
wondering
how
we
can
keep
that
position
in
tact
and
maybe
restructure
around
that,
because
she
seems
to
be
important
to
the
community.
D
Well,
Albin
Bruce
Symons
members
of
the
Council.
We
would
have
a
full-time
position
for
anyone
to
apply
for
so
the
two
incumbents
could
do
that.
I
think
it's
very
difficult
and
the
mr.
D'agostino
discussion
I
think,
is
a
good
example.
It's
very
difficult
to
craft
physicians,
around
individuals,
I
mean
as
as
much
as
you
know,
people
provide
service
to
the
community,
which
is
extraordinarily
valued
from
a
budget
perspective,
as
your
city
manager,
it's
very
difficult
for
me
to
kind
of
back
in
based
on
an
incumbent,
I
think
that
we
have
a
full-time
position.
D
The
comments
are
welcome
to
apply
for
that,
certainly
if
they
have
good
skills
and
abilities,
great
skills
and
abilities
they'll
be
very
competitive
for
that
and
I
think
that's
a
challenge
always
with
the
budget
is
how
do
you?
How
do
you
craft
positions
that
are
based
on
skills
and
abilities,
and
not
necessarily
keeping
any
one
individual
in
mind
for
that?
So
we
have
our
commitment
and
I.
Think
all
of
Carter
Thomas
has
done
an
excellent
job
over
the
last
several
weeks.
D
Describing
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
here
and
I
think
it's
really
up
to
all
of
you
to
decide
if
this
makes
a
sense
or
not
again
we're
trying
to
also
balance
a
budget.
We
clearly
and
rightfully
provide
tremendous
resources
in
this
area
compared
to
all
of
our
neighbor
communities.
I
mean
it's
almost
embarrassing,
then
already
other
communities
can
get
away,
even
with
a
smaller
size
and
with
less
less
complexity,
with
the
way
they
deal
with
the
service.
So
we're
very
proud
to
do
that
and
I
think.
As
mr.
AB
AI
All
of
it
suffered
members
of
the
diets.
Those
interviews
now
are
currently
farmed
out
to
specialists
I,
and
we
make
appointments
for
those
they're
not
handled
either
by
Victim
Services
or
our
police
officers
alone.
It
is
there
that
that's
something
that
is
in
progress
now
and
will
not
be
impacted
on
by
this
particular
change
is.
AI
No,
the
the
officers
coordinate
the
appointment
of
advocates
still
advocate
for
those
victims
of
regardless
of
age,
but
were
not
involved.
We're
not
directly
involved
in
an
interview
process
and
the
inner
do
you
quickly.
The
interviewing
of
very
young
victims
is
extremely
difficult,
extremely
complex,
very
easy
to
read
and
plant
ideas,
so
you
have
to
be
very
experienced
at
conducting
those
interviews
and
we
we
farm
it
out
to
a
specialized
unit.
Okay,.
AI
AB
I
get
I,
you
know
the
the
you
know
that
I
got
that
has
me
concerned
it's
from
the
Children's
Advocacy
Center,
and
they
were
talking
about
the
role
that
our
people
play.
I
understand
that
we
don't
conduct
the
interview,
but
you
know
I
hate
to
think
like
something
and
I
may
get
the
situation
we're
all
in
it's.
That's
I
think
something
that
important
is
subject
to
budget
and
and
I
I
also
understand
reality,
but
I
guess
I.
AI
AI
Marie's
we've
gone
as
many
as
15
in
a
year,
we've
gone
as
low
as
two
it's
a
very
cyclic
thing
and
unfortunately,
a
lot
of
these
cases
are
extremely
complex
and
it's
a
family
member
and
and
then
there's
multiple
victims
inside
the
family.
And
so
when
you
have
one
of
those,
the
numbers
creep
up
significantly
versus
other
single
events.
Y
Director
Thomas
Smith,
when,
where
look
if
we
went
with
the
proposal
of
three
part-time
staff
people,
what
what
is
the
marketplace
like
for
finding
someone
finding
appropriately
skilled
folks
to
do
that
to
take
that
position?
And
then
my
other
question
would
be
because
we
want
to
provide
make
sure
we
have
continuity
with
the
citizens
of
Evanston.
How
do
we
make
sure
we
don't
get
a
lot
of
turnover
in
a
part-time
position?
Y
R
Latter
part
of
that
question,
I,
don't
know
if
I
can
answer
that,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
we
have
relationships
with
the
School
of
Social
Work.
Now,
because
of
our
relationship
with
presidents
behavioral
health,
we
had
interns,
social
worker
interns
that
worked
out
of
the
library
we
would
have
anywhere
between
four
and
six
each
year
and
because
we've
moved
to
a
model
where
there's
a
full-time
social
work
at
the
library.
R
Now
that
social
worker
is
a
preceptor
for
the
of
the
interns
that
actually
supports
some
of
the
initiatives
through
the
library,
so
we
have
relationships
with
the
University
of
Illinois
and
Jane
Addams
School
of
Social
Work,
and
we
have
relationships
with
DePaul
University.
We
are
their
host
site
for
their
social
worker
interns.
R
The
challenge
that
we'll
have
to
to
really
vet
is
making
sure
they
understand
the
culture
of
Evanston
and
making
sure
that
they're,
culturally
and
linguistically
sensitive,
because
it's
not
just
the
scope
of
Social
Work
we're
looking
at
it's
the
scope
of
Social
Work,
that's
sensitive
to
our
our
community,
and
so
the
hope
is
that
you
know
as
competitive
as
this
market
is
I
hope
that
we
get
some
Evanston
residents
that
apply.
That
can
kind
of
you
know,
make
sure
that
we're
addressing
the
culture
of
our
community.
Thank.
A
V
Well
so,
yes,
my
motion
was
to
go
it
too.
However
I
you
know,
I
guess
I've
been
convinced
to
is
not
enough
to
cover
our
24-hour
cycle.
However,
I
am
struck
also
by
what
the
chief
said,
which
is
when
we
have
four.
It
was
still
a
struggle
to
cover
the
cycle,
so
probably
covering
the
overnight
cycle
is
maybe
more
of
a
management
thing.
V
If
we
have
four
full
timing
and
it
was
a
struggle
so
being
that
I
do
want
that
to
be
covered,
I
do
still
have
some
concerns
based
on
the
way
the
Job
Description
currently
reads
that
it
just
in
comparing
it
with
the
old
one
and
comparing
it
with
people
in
the
community
perceive
this
position
and
the
importance
of
this
position.
That
I
would
like
to
know
that
it
has
more
of
that
community
feel
to
it.
V
There's
that
it
lays
out
very
clearly
the
responsibility
is
that
you,
you
know,
are,
are
advocating
for
the
victim
whatever
time
my
day.
That
is
what
that
looks
like
I.
Think,
given
the
kind
of
particulars
of
Evanston
and
the
community,
you
know
having
that
community
relationship
is
good
and
I.
Just
gonna
say
that,
because
when
someone
applies
for
this
job,
I
want
them
to
really
know
that
this
is
what
the
job
is.
You
know,
I,
don't
want
us
to
have
kind
of
a
you
know,
wasting
your
time
and
I.
V
Don't
want
us
to
have
an
influx
of
people
who
really
the
best
of
our
ability
based
on
will
be
advertised
a
job
to
be.
There
aren't
really
clear
on
what
that
is.
I
do
have
some
concerns
about
they
continue.
If
we
go
this
route
and
changing
staff,
it
takes
a
long
time
to
develop
relationships
and
so
I
have
and
and
because
the
perception
of
the
community
is
one
of
which
you
know
they.
People
look
at
this
budget
and
they
call
me,
and
they
say,
feel
like
we're,
cutting
all
of
the
services
to
vulnerable
people.
V
So
I
think
we
should
probably
realistically
we
might
lose
the
two
we
have
and
what
impact
is
that
going
to
have
and
people
actually,
you
know
utilizing
the
service
if
they
don't
know
the
person,
if
they're,
not
comfortable,
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
in
speaking
to
alderman,
Holmes
I
called
her
about
this
and
I
know
that
that
was
the
thing
that
she
said.
She
an
ottoman
break
by
really
advocated
for
was
clinicians
and
such
who
really
understood
our
community,
so
that
I
think
I
would
just
have
more
confidence
than
this.
At
the
job.
D
We
can
make
those
changes,
I
think
the
director
class
method,
I,
don't
disagree.
If
anything
you've
said
I
think
you
know,
we've
tried
to
to
be
be
thoughtful
and
to
hear
the
council's
concerns,
and
certainly
we
can
make
those
changes
and
will
will
circulate
that
to
the
council
before
we
would
go
out
for
the
positions
all.
U
The
member
I
think
of
thank
you
man,
mr.
mayor,
so
I,
think
that
that
and
helps
us
to
move
forward
with
this
alderman
Fleming
right
I
just
want
to
make
a
clarification,
because
I
think
you've
done
an
excellent
job
articulating
this
to
where
we're
all
everyone
behind
the
dais
feels
the
same
concern
for
the
same
population.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
moving
for,
because
we're
now
talking
about
two
separate
things.
So
the
the
moving
around
of
staff
is
now
off
the
table
and
then
you'll
continue
to
work
with
staff.
U
I
think
we
all
will
clarify
the
position
so
that
it's
exactly
what
our
community
wants
and
I
think
from
what
I
hear
from
the
director
who
again
has
an
excellent
track
record
if
we
need
to
make
an
adjustment
we'll
make
an
adjustment,
especially
given
something
that
we're
all
paying
attention
to
so
I
just
want
clarification
for
you.
You
started
with
emotion.
It
was
sight.
V
V
V
U
AA
V
V
B
A
Okay
for
note,
so
that
failed
to
pass
four
to
five.
Okay
in
that
meeting,
the
proposal
that
the
city
manager
has
put
forward
in
this
proposed
budget
of
reducing
it
from
it's
all
for
full-time
to
one
full-time
in
three
and
a
half
part-time
did
not
pass.
So
what
direction
do
we
we're
going
to
give
our
city
manager
for
the
budget
ultimate
Wilson
and
I
know
you
had
your
light
on
and
then
all
good
alderman,
rainy
and.
AD
I'm
still
just
kind
of
trying
to
think
it
through
I
know
we
need
to
save
money.
So
I'm
cognizant
that
and
I
know
that
we've
already
made
a
decision
to
keep
the
one
position.
That's
you
know,
we've
got
the
680
which
reflects
for
full
time
and
a
half
time
of
there's
a
position.
That's
been
retained
in
another
category,
so
in
there
that
is
so.
That's
the
90
mm
and
I.
AD
AD
AD
S
Z
Don't
want
you
see
doctors,
but
I
would
like
to
do
as
I.
Would.
I
would
like
us
to
support
maintaining
two
full-time
and
asking
our
staff
to
perhaps
confer
with
the
YWCA,
and
you
know,
with
our
resources
of
interns
and
see
if
we
can't
and
I'm
not
going
to
use
the
word
cobble
together
because
I
don't
like
the
implications
of
that,
but
to
put
together
other
support
staff
for
on-call
evening
I.
Think
we
can
do
that.
I
I,
just
I
just,
cannot
see
I
can't.
AA
S
AD
AD
I
think
with
the
when
I
suggested,
the
two
full-time
in
one
part-time,
the
response
was
that
we
would
actually
have
less
coverage
and
that
it
would
cost
more
so
I
think
the
two
full-time
I
understand.
We
were
saying
look
to
the
community
partners,
but
I,
don't
think
you
know
putting
them
into
the
on-call
queue,
isn't
necessarily
gonna.
Be
that
reliable.
AD
D
Director
Thomas
Smith
and
mr.
Li
are
conferring
at
this
point,
I
think
if
we
come
up
with
a
we
go
with
two
full-time
positions
and
a
different
mix
of
part-time
and
I.
Don't
know
if
they've
just
come
up
with
that
or
not
there
that
we
would
have
won
over
the
full-time
position,
as
is
currently
described
in
the
proposed
budget.
We
would
have
a
second
full-time
position
that
would
not
have
the
supervision
responsibilities
and
then
have
three
part-time
positions
to
which
would
have
be
the
ED
Erica.
You
were
contemplating
how
many
hours
a
week.
D
D
Well,
we
are
saving
I,
think
we
just
have
to
figure
out
to
what
extent
we
are
saying
is
I
think
we
need
at
least
we
need
at
least
two
part-time
on
some
level
some
number
of
hours
in
order
to
cover
the
the
on-call
piece.
So
if
you
had
the
two
full-time
we
and
at
a
different
pace
scale
than
that,
the
current
incumbents,
so
there's
some
savings
there
and
then
have
some
mix
of
part-time
hours.
That
probably
could
serve
the
the
needs
that
the
council's
identifying.
D
X
The
the
savings
right
now
that
is
proposed
as
approximately
three
hundred
thousand,
if
we
did
it
in
a
second
full-time
that
would
probably
be
budgeted
somewhere
in
the
85
to
95,
all
in
with
insurance
taxes,
etc.
So
you're,
looking
at
driving
that
savings
to
two
hundred
versus
three
hundred.
If
we
were
to
keep
the
three
full-time
which
I
would
say,
we
would
still
be
concerned
with
that
hours
coverage
and
we
would
still
want
that
flexibility
that
those
three
part-timers
would
provide.
U
Do
we
do
we
have
time
to
make
I
mean?
Can
we
wait
on
this
decision?
I
mean
I,
sure
think
it's
all
important
to
us
all
and
I
would
hate
to
make
a
half
informed
decision.
So
if
it
makes
sense
to
hold
this
particular
part
and
then
come
back
until
we
get
the
right
I
think
coverage
is
the
priority
and
then
to
understand
the
full
all-in
cost
it
would
I
would
feel
more
comfortable
voting,
but.
A
I
would
say,
suggest
this
should
be
some
placeholder
here.
I
mean
we're
again
we're
trying
to
go
through
the
entire
budget
tonight.
So
if
we're
not
going
to
get
a
you
know,
$300,000
savings
or
whatever
it
was
then
put
a
placeholder
and
say:
okay,
it's
going
to
be
two
hundred
thousand.
They
could
do
the
math.
Z
D
A
Z
I,
don't
know
whether
it's
necessary
or
not,
but
I
want
to
advocate
for
the
twenty
cent.
Rideshare
tax
and
I
just
want
to
make
a
few
comments.
I've
gotten
lots
of
messages
from
constituents
which
I'm
surprised
about,
as
well
as
the
uber
and
lyft
people.
First
of
all,
Oberon
lyft
are
multi-billion
dollar
companies
for
that
guy
to
come
here
tonight
and
tell
us
what
a
burden
it
is
going
to
be
to
his
organization
and
to
his
people
was
absolutely
insulting
and
how
much
money
they
spread
around
the
city
of
Chicago
I.
Z
Don't
know
anything
about
that,
but
I
I
don't
remember
receiving
anything.
Do
you
all
if
you'd
like
to
spread
around
some
to
the
city
of
Evanston,
I,
think
we'd
all
be
very,
very.
Z
However,
however,
to
mr.
Robinson,
who
spoke
tonight,
one
of
the
reasons
we're
asking
for
20
cents
is
so
that
people
like
the
Robinson
family
and
domestic
violence,
victims
cetera,
can
can
have
services.
It's
going
to
generate
$100,000,
$100,000,
20
cents,
I
use,
I
use
right
share
all
the
time.
I
am
NOT
going
to
stop
tipping
rideshare
drivers,
I've
never
used
lyft
and
I
might
never
use
live
now.
Z
After
listening
to
that,
but
this
20
cents
believe
me
and
the
drivers
have
had
this
beaten
into
their
head
by
the
by
the
companies
that
this
is
going
to
kill
their
business.
This
is
not
going
to
kill
your
business.
This
is
not
going
to
kill
your
business,
so
I
found
that
really
offensive
that
that
guy
came
tonight
and
said
that
and
they're
sending
letters
to
their
drivers
and
it's
just
appalling,
but
the
20
cents
is,
is
a
very
simple
tax
and
hopefully
everybody
will
vote
for
it.
A
Z
Z
D
A
D
B
AD
The
difficulty
I
have
with
with
with
the
additional
position
of
course,
is
the
fact
that
we
are
still
paying
somebody
in
a
different
department
who
moved
there
and
is
actually
doing
that
work
they're
doing
those
a
lot
of
those
tasks.
So
it
seems
to
me
that
the
positions
it's
it's,
what
the
work
is
still
getting
dumb,
it's
just
being
done
in
a
different
Department,
I'm
gonna
address
that
point.
A
AD
B
The
yes,
the
position
has
been
moved
over.
There
is
a
position
there's
going
to
be
a
customer
service
representative
position
eliminated
in
the
collector's
office.
Is
that
correct
city
manager,
Bob
clicks,
so
there's
an
elimination
in
the
collector's
office
of
one
position,
and
there
is
as
I
mentioned,
passports
is
slated
to
be
eliminated
next
year
and
I'd
want
to
bring
that
back
to
my
office.
That
brings
in
this
year.
Year-To-Date
was
twenty.
Eight
thousand
dollars
worth
of
revenue,
I
suppose
it'll
be
over
thirty
thousand
by
the
end
of
the
year.
B
AD
I
guess
I'm
still
not
hearing
the
need
for
the
extra
person
other
than
the
pets,
because
passports
are
being
done
now,
but
if
I
don't
know
that,
there's
been
an
actual
decision
to
eliminate
it
or
not
one
way.
The
other
was
certainty,
but
you
know
we're
trying
to
cut.
You
know
we're
all
trying
to
cut
we're
trying
to
cut
positions.
So
the
fact
that
we're
eliminating
the
Collector's
position,
you
know
we're
not
trying
to
add
positions.
So
do
you
not
not
have
enough
people
to
do
the
work
you
have
now
so.
B
There
is
work
that
is
mandated
by
our
rules
and
code
that
traditionally
hasn't
been
done
by
the
clerk's
office.
That
I
believe
should
be
done
and
then
also
expanding
into
the
realm
of
elections,
where
we
haven't
done
a
lot
of
work
on
actually
increasing
voter
participation
in
the
city,
which
is
fundamental
to
our
democracy,
but
also
a
star
community's
criteria
that
we
have
not
met
yet
as
far
as
the
work
that
should
be
done
by
the
clerk's
office
that
isn't
being
done
now
and
that
traditionally
hasn't
been
done
for
all
standing
committees.
B
B
The
clerk's
office
has
responsibilities
with
boards
and
commissions,
and
it
seems
like
that
hasn't
been
done
prior
to
my
taking
office,
which
is
notifying
folks
of
their
eligibility.
Also
I
want
to
have
moved
transition
the
office
into
a
bit
more
collecting
analytics
about
civic
participation,
so
one
being
all
legislation
should
be
moving
through.
The
clerk's
office
as
as
I
ran
on
I
would
like
to
create
a
legislation
tracker.
AD
AD
There
are
certain
statutory
things
that
the
clerk
is
assigned
to
do
pursuant
to
the
state
law,
and
then
the
council
can
ask
the
clerk
to
do
other
things,
which
historically
has
been
the
case.
So
I
think
that
if
we're
gonna
make
some
policy
changes
as
we
go,
that
would
be
something
to
bring
up.
So
you
know
I,
you
know
talk
to
us
about.
AD
You
know
changing
what
the
clerk's
role
is
changing,
what
the
clerk
is
doing,
changing
some
of
those
responsibilities,
but
in
the
absence
of
those
policies,
actually
having
been
adopted
to
assume
that
you
have
the
need
for
something
that
we
haven't
actually
implemented.
It
just
seems
to
me
that
that's
ahead
of
the
curve.
B
B
AD
What's
that
I
think
that
you're
supposed
to
keep
a
record,
so
somebody
whoever
keeps
the
minutes
has
to
give
them
to
you
and
you
keep
a
journal
of
those
I
think
it
refers
to
a
journal
I.
You
know
we're
probably
past
the
age
of
journals,
but
at
this
point
now
we're
doing
it
all
electronically.
So
it
goes
on
the
website.
So
you
know
you
don't
actually
have
to
literally
keep
a
journal
because
it's
there
so
that
serves
as
the
journal
you
know,
and
all
those
boards
and
the
standing
committees.
AD
B
A
Z
Comment,
please,
please
don't
take
the
minutes
at
the
other
meetings
there
everything's
under
control.
We,
you
know
it's
not
that
I
don't
want
change,
but
we
never
have
any
needs
for
Corrections.
Everything
works
out.
Fine,
nobody
and
all
these
years,
no
no
city
clerk
has
ever
taken
the
minutes
of
standing
committees.
Your
job
is
to
be
here
to
be
here
at
the
council
meeting.
All.
AB
Think,
like
you
know,
we
do
have
a
an
election
next
year
and
I
think
that
it
is
reasonable
that
your
office
would
have
some
expenses
around
that,
but
maybe
you
can
map
out
and
then
try
and
plan
for,
but
it's
just
really
hard
to
figure
out
a
way
on
with
the
way
that
we're
working
here
to
support
it,
you
know
and
then
I
don't
I
want
you
to
think
of
that
means.
I,
don't
support
the
objectives.
You
have
your
office,
but
it's
we're
all
kind
of
faced
with
this
reality.
D
AH
AA
You
and
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
and
I'm
just
wondering
if,
in
the
the
the
cost
for
improvements
that
you're
wanting
to
do,
is
there
is
there
any
any
flexibility
in
there
at
all
as
there
do
we
have
to
do
everything
all
at
once?
Is
there
I
remember
the
conversation
from
last
time,
but
is
there
any
room
at
all
for
for
lack
of
a
better
word
negotiation?
AA
AH
Renovation
of
the
main
library
is
proposed
would
would
spill
over
to
another
budget
year.
It's
an
18-month
project
to
do
the
construction
where
we
just
start
and
stop,
then
there
would
be
additional
costs
so
the,
but
the
cost
would
go
up.
A
quite
a
bit
of
the
the
cost
in
the
project
has
to
do
with
aging
infrastructure
around
fiber
runs
and
electricity.
We
can,
if,
with
your
support
of
the
notion
of
proceeding
with
the
project,
we
can,
of
course
work
with
the
architect
and
look
to
see
if
there
are
ways
to
save
costs.
AH
But
I
don't
want
you
to
be
misled
to
suggest
that
a
nine
million
dollar
project
over
18
months
could
could
reduce
by
a
third
or
by
a
half
and
accomplish
what
we're
proposing
to
do
in
terms
of
the
project
and
again,
if
we
start
and
then
stop
and
come
back
in
a
couple
of
years,
then
there's
going
to
be
additional
cost
because
of
construction
escalation
and
additional
cost
to
mobilize
onto
the
site.
So
it's
just
a
question
of
of
how
we
pay
for
it
and
how
we
proceed.
I.
AH
It's
been
in
storage
and
we'll
be
using
that
as
part
of
the
carpeting,
so
I'm
trying
to
find
ways
to
economize
in
any
way
we
can
and
with
your
support,
we
would
then
come
back
after
we
go
out
for
bids
to
see
where
we
come
in
with
with
the
project,
but
I
understand
the
tension
between
wanting
to
proceed
with
the
project
and
looking
for
ways
to
economize
and
I
will
continue
to
work
with
the
architect
to
do
that.
Okay,.
AB
A
D
Mr.
mayor
members,
the
council
we've
not
I
think
who
are
at
the
conclusion
of
the
operating
budget.
Then
we'll
come
back
next
week
with
an
additional
proposal
on
the
victim
services.
We've
not
talked
a
lot
about
the
capital
budget,
the
capital
budget.
I.
Think,
as
you
know,
from
the
initial
presentation
mr.
Lyons,
made
several
weeks
ago,
is
over
the
city
councils
approved
debt
limit
for
capital
projects.
This
is
because
of
the
costs
associated
with
the
library
proposal.
D
It
is
associated
with
the
initial
funding
for
robert
crown,
as
well
as
our
regular
general
obligation,
bond
and
costs
as
part
of
a
request.
There's
a
budget
memorandum
from
me
detailing
three
million
dollars
of
reductions
in
the
general
operation
general
obligation
bond
capital
budget,
but
that
three
million
dollar
decrease
would
not
take
us
below
that
cap.
That
cap
is,
if
you
choose
to
go
forward
with
crown
and
with
the
library
that
will
exceed
the
cap.
D
What
the
three
million
dollars
does
is
basically
keeps
us
even
on
what
I'll
refer
to
as
sort
of
the
general
general
obligation
bond
capital
projects
and
certainly
look
at
the
cuts
that
are
included
there
are
are
significant.
There
are
programs,
there's
funding
for
I.
Think
as
all
to
comply
me
pointed
out,
traffic
calming
there's
money
for
street
to
repair
is
reduced
and
staff
has
put
those
that
up
on
the
screen
in
yellow
I,
just
want
to
make
sure
before
we
leave
here
tonight.
D
If
you
are
comfortable
moving
forward
with
what's
the
but
the
library's
proposed,
the
robert
crown
and
the
capital
budget
is
presented,
then
fine,
we'll
move
forward
and
prepare
documents
for
your
approval.
Accordingly,
if
not
again,
I've
put
forward
three
million
dollars
in
reductions
on
general
obligation
funding
the
needs
for
capital
investment
in
this
community
are
significant.
The
need
to
be
solvent
is
also
significant.
The
need
to
ensure
that
our
capital
debt
does
not
increase
beyond
our
ability
to
pay.
It
is
also
significant.
So
so
clearly,
these
are
competing
interests,
but
mr.
U
I
just
I
was
I
was
raising
the
the
Main
Street
maple
to
Main
the
design
portion
to
be
removed
so
I'm,
it's
it
isn't
in
my
ward,
but
I.
Think
of
all
the
streets.
We've
had
internal
conversations
with
our
staff
that
mainstream
Main
Street
needs
to
be
addressed
and
addressed
in
a
holistic
way.
So
I
was
just
trying
to
understand
the
justification
for
removing
that
yeah.
D
And
and
I
will
take
responsibility.
Everything
in
yellow
is
my
decision,
so
I
will
I
will
take
that
responsibility
and
looking
to
come
up
with
three
million
dollars,
which
was
the
dollar
amount.
That
would
be
necessary
to
reduce
to
keep
us
even
with
our
general
capital
obligation.
That
project
has
not
yet
begun
and
so
to
delay
it
at
at
least
a
year.
D
Given
the
other
projects
that
are
already
in
in
the
mix
there
I
thought
was
important
and
again
we
can
look
through
you
know
the
the
Howard
Street
corridor
dodge
to
Custer
has
gone
through
some
additional
visioning
work.
There's
been
an
additional
scope
identified
through
those
discussions,
that's
above
a
hundred
and
three
thousand
dollars
in
addition
to
the
original
scope
for
that
project.
Other
issues
as
we
go
through
there
again.
If
the
council
wishes
to
move
forward
these
projects,
that's
perfectly
fine.
D
Y
To
have
an
explanation
of
what
the
can
we
go
back
to
removing
the
$380,000
for
the
design
engineering
phase
and
but
we're
still
leaving
in
the
Main
Street
Commons
corridor
engineering
services.
So
I
know
it's
a
complicated
project,
but
what
what
are
we
doing
then?
If
we're
removing
the
design
engineering
phase,
but
we're
continuing
with
engineering
servicing
and
construction?
Well.
D
S
D
Y
So
I
do
understand,
but
what
I'd
like
to
find
out,
then,
is:
what
can
we
do
because
I
think
there
are
at
least
three
aldermen
who
have
gotten
complaints
continuously
about
Main
Street
about
the
surface
of
Main
Street,
and
so,
if
we
have
to
delay
that,
what
more
can
we
do
to?
Can
we
do
more
of
that?
The
patching
that
we've
done,
that
we
did
on
Chicago
Avenue
that
was
fairly
successful.
Well,.
Y
D
And
and
aldermen
wind
members
of
the
council,
let
me
reiterate
that
I
all
of
these
cuts
are
proposed
to
you
in
order
to
balance
the
spent
issue.
I
mean
you'll.
Also
see
that
we're
proposing
to
cut
the
street
patching
program
in
half
see,
then
that's
a
citywide
dollar
amount
$600,000,
which
I
think
most
people
would
say,
is
a
small
amount
of
money,
citywide
to
start
but
alone,
reducing
it
by
three
hundred.
So
if
the
council
is
comfortable
with
the
increase
in
capital
spending,
then
I
withdraw
these
proposals.
D
If
you
are
not
comfortable
and
you
feel
we
need
to
be
spending
less
I
was
asked
to
come
up
with.
Well,
if
we're
gonna
spend
less,
what
would
you
propose?
Mr.
city
manager?
We
don't
spend
it
on,
and
so
that
is
the
the
spirit
in
which
this
three
million
dollars
of
reduction
is
is
listed.
Nothing
on
the
original
capital
budget
I
would
call
as
fluff
nothing
I
would
call
as
something
we
don't
need.
Everything
that
was
on
your
original
proposed
budget
is
significant
for
this
community.
D
We
kept
the
three
million
in
our
last
mr.
Lyons
to
help
because
we
were
we
we
we
we
chatted
about
this
very
point
earlier
this
afternoon.
Is
that
the
the
cut
of
that
three
million
dollars,
plus
the
abatements
that
we
already
have
budgeted,
would
leave
our
general
capital
debt?
Even
we
will
Allu,
it
would
not
decrease,
it
would
not
increase.
W
Tax
levy
is
two
to
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
a
year
for
twenty
years
to
pay
that
three
million
dollars.
So
we
talked
about
the
four
hundred
and
forty
six
thousand
that
we
had
to
adjust
this
year
because
all
the
fund
balances
in
the
debt
service-
those
are
all
and
we've
tried
to
be
as
efficient
as
we
can.
So
this.
W
This
is
a
backdoor
way
of
if
you
kept
it
as
a
transfer
and
raise
that
transfer
by
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
next
year,
then
you're
going
to
cut
operating
costs
somehow
or
raise
operating
revenues
and
send
that
money
as
an
abated
amount
for
handling
the
projects.
It
won't
go
on
the
tax
levy,
but
it
will
be
an
impact
to
the
general
fund
next
year.
Every
capital
decision
we
make
this
year,
usually
as
an
operating
impact
next
year,
when
we
figure
out
the
debt
service
levy,
so
2
to
250,000
is
the
tax
levy.
T
Z
AE
AE
Z
Taking
a
hit
on
this,
how
is
that
good
I
mean
we
really
don't
I
wish?
We
could
sit
and
talk
about
this,
because
we
don't
really
need
to
do
anything
between
Hartree
and
dodge
I.
Don't
think
that
area
needs
anything,
lovely,
condos
and
rentals
and
it
looks
really
nice
it's
a
little
boring,
but
it
doesn't
need
anything
really.
Maybe
some
new
trees
out
of
them,
but
I
mean
I.
How
are
we
gonna
handle
that?
Seeing
that
we're
working
with
the
other
side.
AE
Z
V
I
I
will
I
have
some
problems
with
the
new
proposal.
I
understand,
we
have
to
say
three
million
dollars,
but
I
look
at
some
of
these
things
and
I
have
concerns
and
I
guess
so.
I
would
say
that
I
would
ask
the
library
to
defer
the
non-essential
kind
of
safety
infrastructure
parts
of
their
project
until
the
city
is
just
in
a
better
financial
place.
I
mean
we
have
a
commitment
to
robber
crown
which
will
give
us
a
beautiful
library,
space.
V
I
know
the
Central
Street
library
has
been
recently
remodeled,
and
so
you
know
we
have
that
library,
space
I
can't
remember
where,
but
in
the
budget
there
was
some
talk
about
a
bookmobile
or
something
I
think
so
I
would
say
that
I
would
ask
or
I
would
support
for
the
library
to
do
wiring
and
such
and
not
the
full
scope
of
their
work.
Given
that
we
are
looking
to
cut
lots
of
money
and
I
know
things
like
sorry
I'm.
V
Troubles
me
unless
that's
a
major
way
of
people
coming
into
our
city,
so
I
think
if
we
can
do
some
work
here,
the
tuckpointing
at
the
service
center-
maybe
not
imperative
now,
but
we
just
talked
last
year
earlier
this
year
about
the
service
center
kind
of
falling
in
on
itself
for
lack
of
a
better
term,
so
I'm
concerned
about
not
doing
needed
work
over
there.
You
know
there's
just
several
things
on
here
that
I
think
in
the
long
run
might
cost
us
more.
V
If
we
don't
take
care
of
now
and
the
library
I
understand
it's
25
years
old,
but
when
I
think
of
us,
you
know
needing
to
do
electrical
and
HVAC
at
some
of
our
buildings
that
are
much
older
than
that.
I
would
just
ask
them
to
delay
their
major
construction.
Let
us
get
through
robber
crowd
and
in
a
tough
budget
year
and
and
and
do
what's
needed
right
now
to
bring
that
cost
down.
V
So
that
we
can
actually
put
some
more
money
into
our
capital
improvements
because
I
don't
know
that
we're
going
to
have
more
money
next
year
for
these
capital
improvement
projects
yeah
our
buildings
are
going
to
continue
to
deteriorate
in
our
streets
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
that
is
my
opinion
and
suggestion.
Thank.
AD
AD
Alderman
suffering
identified
is
one
of
our
critical
points
here,
and
that
is
just
the
the
plague
of
deferred
maintenance
that
we
have,
and
a
lot
of
this
stuff
is
to
try
to
catch
up
on
that.
Mr.
Lyons
I'm,
sorry
I
shouldn't,
let
you
sit
down,
but
but
generally
speaking,
there's
a
slide
that
we
saw
a
couple
or
a
few
weeks
ago
on
our
how
much
we
brought
our
non
pension
debt
down.
I
seem
to
remember.
The
number
was
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
90
plus
million
dollars.
Is
that
correct
in
ten
years?
Yes,.
W
AD
And
so
the
city
manager
inadvertently
use
the
word
comfortable
I.
Don't
think
any
of
us
are
comfortable
with
a
lot
of
this,
so
it's
it's
very
uncomfortable
I'm,
also
uncomfortable
with
the
idea
that
around
the
time
I
started,
we
had
pension
debt
on
the
books
for
something
it
was
tens
of
millions
and
then
the
reality
was
it
was
hundreds
of
millions.
So
you
know
that's
that's
the
on.
AD
That's
that's
the
environment
that
we
all
have
to
operate
in
and
a
lot
of
that's
been
governed
by
what
the
state
is
imposed
on
us
so
and
I
have
a
hard
time
explaining
you
know,
PA
car
stickers
are
do
my
friends
are
mad
at
me.
They're
all
made
me
car
stickers
are
stupid.
Why
would
we
have
to
pay
for
this
and
then
I
mean
no
idea
how
much
it
cost
to
pay
one
block
of
street?
No.
AD
My
inclination
is
to
just
you
know,
bump
that
limit
up
a
little
bit.
We
have
these
maintenance
needs.
We
have
these
capital
improvement
needs.
We
should
continue
to
be
aggressive
in
trying
to
bring
down
the
debt,
but
at
the
same
time,
we've
seen
time
after
time.
Those
of
us
have
been
here
for
for
the
eight
or
four
years
things
end
up
costing
more.
AD
You
know
if
I
see
the
tuckpointing,
if,
if
the
water
starts
to
infiltrate,
it
goes
from
being
this
to
being
a
really
a
much
more
significant
number
and
you
know
not
to
pick
on
the
tuckpointing,
but
that's
my
inclination,
so
it
was
a
little
bit
of
a
point-blank
question.
If
we
don't
take
out
this
three
million
I
don't
get
the
impression
that
that's
going
to
really
be
a
serious
threat
to
our
bond
rating,
for
example,
or
am
I
wrong
about
that
I.
W
Can't
guess
what
Moody's
and
Fitch
would
do,
but
no
I
don't
think
it
would
be
a
tremendous
impact.
It's
the
whole
mix,
for
instance,
all
the
hard
work
you're
doing
tonight
on
having
a
general
fund
fund.
It's
going
back
up
to
your
minimum
bet,
balance
requirement
of
16
percent.
That's
noted
by
them.
The
continued
funding
of
pensions
at
the
right
level
is
noted.
So
it's
all
a
mix,
though
the
only
place
where
Moody's
and
Fitch
differs
with
most
common
sense.
W
They'll
go
into
the
paper.
Sorry,
but
differs
with
most
common-sense
approaches.
Is
they
don't?
They
would
rather
us
tax
for
our
bonds
than
a
bate
for
them,
whereas
you
all
would
say,
I'd
rather
find
other
revenue
sources
to
pay
our
bonds,
whether
it's
a
gas
tax,
because
the
people
who
are
using
the
streets
are
paying
for
it
or
a
parking
fee.
So
that's
what
I
think
is
the
future
for
the
council
is
to
consider
it's
not
the
overall
debt,
that's
concerting!
W
It's
the
debt,
that
is
on
the
property,
so
to
the
extent
that
we
can
continue
to
move
forward
with
debt.
That
is
abated
from
other
sources.
That's
one
of
those
things
that
we
can
continue
to
look
at
in
a
five-year
capital
planning
process,
so
going
back
to
the
three
million.
If
we
could
find
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
the
general
fund
next
year
as
an
abated
amount
that
pays
for
it.
W
That's
not
a
tax
levy
increase,
but
do
you
know
what
that
process
was
like
this
year,
but
the
city
manager
proposed
for
four
million
plus
and
cuts,
and
that
was
not
easy
to
do.
We're
talking
about
much
lesser
amount
to
try
and
write
the
capital
ship
on
an
annual
basis.
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
Well,.
AD
And
we
have
a
number
of
commitments
that
we're
living
up
to
we're
getting
the
the
water
mains
done.
So
it's
painful.
So
there
are
sacrifices.
The
sidewalks
don't
get
done,
we'll
get
the
water
mains
done.
So
so
these
really
important
things
so
community
center.
You
know
it's
not
going
to
fall
in
on
itself
soon,
but
the
equipment
that
keeps
the
ice
frozen
and
you
know
there
are
cracks
in
the
ceiling
and
when
they
have
the
events
water
pours
into
buckets
so
yeah,
it's
not
falling
down
today,
but
it
that's.
AD
A
It
a
city
manager
if
we
were
to
do
that
or
mister
Alliance.
If
we
were
to
do
that,
what
does
that
mean
for
the
2018
budget,
though,
in
terms
of
additional
increase
either
you
know
in
cuts
or
revenue
that
we
need
not
done
for
this
year,
but
for
the
following
for
2019
it
will
mean
additional
cuts
or
increases
in
fees
or
taxes.
That's
correct.
D
W
It's
around
there,
that's
the
that's.
What
we
had
we
did.
We
had
to
cut
it
out
for
18
and
pay-as-you-go
we've,
supplemented
it
with
the
debt
service
payment
that
transfer
I
referred
to
before,
but
that
was
a
2013
memo
that
the
previous
council
looked
at
at
the
start
of
where
we
talked
about
going
up
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year,
transferring
operating
revenues
into
capital,
because
that
would
allow
you
quite
a
bit
of
dollars
by
now,
we'd
be
up
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
operating
revenues
in
capital
and
you.
W
This
is
not
something
unique
to
Evanston.
You'll
have
many
communities
that
have
part
of
their
income
tax.
Part
of
the
utility
tax
are
part
of
a
local
gas
tax
designated
to
the
capital
improvements
fund.
It
never
goes
to
the
general
fund.
20%
of
it
just
goes
straight
into
the
capital
fund
and
that
helps
keep
your
debt
down
and.
D
So
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
I
would
hope
that
we
could
begin
those
discussions
early
next
year
as
we
look
in
nineteen.
But
my
sense,
mr.
mayor,
is
that
we
would
not
move
forward
with
these
adjustments
that
we
would
go
with
the
capital
budget,
as
proposed
with
the
additional
crowd
spending
with
the
additional
library
spending
and
prepare
budget
ordinances.
Other
reflect
that,
and
if
there's
nothing
else,
then
we
will
I
believe
we
have
general
direction
then,
on
the
budget
for
2018,
we
will
prepare
the
appropriate
ordinances.
D
For
next
week
we
will
have
a
single
item
dealing
with
Victim
Services,
with
the
direction
we
received
this
evening
with
these
ordinances,
then
also
that
are
before
you
this
evening,
plus
the
levies
that
were
before
you
about
a
month
ago.
That
will
allow
you
I
think
to
take
all
the
action
you
need
next
week
to
adopt
the
2018
budget.
Now.
A
D
Mayor,
maybe
we
could
just
let
mr.
Lyon
spend
30
seconds
30
SEC
to
just
talk
about
where
we
believe
or
we're
gonna
be
ending
the
year.
As
you
know,
mr.
memmer
was
the
council.
We
have
made
several
changes
to
the
current
year
budget
in
order
to
be
balanced,
and
so
mr.
Lyons,
maybe
you
just
say
what
what
is
our
latest
thinking
as
to
what
does
every
thirty-one
looks
like.
W
Thank
You
mr.
city
manager,
we
are
still
behind
where
we
would
be
in
normal
third
quarter
and
that's
just
because
of
what
we
had
for
the
building
permits
our
property
taxes.
Everything
else
is
in
exactly
where
we
thought
and
what
we
told
the
council
in
July
were
right
on
track
to
where
we
think
we
need
to
be
we're
at
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollar
surplus
at
the
end
of
the
third
quarter,
we'd
like
to
be
at
a
bigger
surplus,
but
at
the
same
time
we
have
all
of
the
controls
in
place.
W
I
was
looking
at
the
bills
lists
the
general
fund
bills.
Lists
are
lower
than
they
were
last
year
for
the
last
four
bills
list,
a
few
hundred
thousand
dollars,
not
a
million
dollars,
but
we're
so
that
tells
you
that
we're
actually
holding
the
line
on
incidental
expenses
in
the
general
fund
and
then
holding
the
line
on
ot.
W
The
short
of
it
is,
is
we've
calculated
out
to
the
end
of
the
year,
and
we
think
that
we
can
enter
it
can
end
the
year
at
balance,
and
that
will
mean
that
both
revenues
and
expenses
will
be
way
under
budget
on
the
order
of
magnitude
of
four
to
five
million
dollars.
But
that
will
be
on
the
revenue
side.
W
You
know
that's
from
the
building
permits
and
on
the
expense
side,
that's
from
eliminating
a
lot
of
those
transfers
that
we
had
a
million
seven
four
building
permits
transferred
to
the
capital
fund,
but
then
also
all
those
expense
reductions
and
finally,
a
couple
of
revenue
transfers
in
we
had
contemplated
transferring
funds
in
from
the
parking
fund
of
$500,000
from
that
as
a
means
of
balancing.
So
the
short
of
it
is.
We
have
a
plan
to
end
the
year
balanced
and
we
won't
take
every
action
that
we've
outlined.
W
V
A
Opposed
okay,
nine,
ten
I,
guess
I'm
missing
a
couple
of
people
here,
eight
eight
to
nothing.
This
is
accepted
and
placed
on
file
SB
sp3.
What
I'd
like
to
do
on
all
the
others
is
we
have
a
lot
of
ordinances
on
on
here,
I'd
like
to
to
treat
this
as
we
do
the
consent
agenda
and
I've
asked
senior
Alderman
Rainey
to
go
through
each
of
these
and
just
like,
we
do
on
the
consent
agenda.
A

All

These

there's

parking
app
would
have
for
this
and
ways
nobody's
happy
about
an
increase
in
parking
fines,
but
the
way
to
defeat
it
is
to
not
have
an
expired
meter
and
are
we
gonna
as
we
write
for
all
the
app
out
and
get
more
people
to
use
it?
Do
you
think
there'll
be
ways
for
people
to
avoid
expired
meters
more
easily.
AJ
Mayor
Haggerty
clerk
read
Alderman
city
manager,
Bob
quits,
chauvelin
parking
division
manager,
the
currently
we
have
a
few
different
ways
for
people
to
be
able
to
pay
their
for
parking
meters.
You
can
go
ahead
and
put
your
coins
in.
You
can
use
a
credit
card
at
a
multi
space
machine
or
a
single
space
machine.
We
also
have
a
app
I
believe
what
you're
referring
to
aldermen
suffer
news.
We
recently
went
to
a
private
label
app
that
just
was
rolled
out
in
the
last
week,
Park
Evanston.
With
this
new.
AJ
We
did
a
soft
rollout
because
there's
other
benefits
that
are
going
to
come
as
Phase
two
to
the
app
in
2018
with
the
permits
and
paying
for
your
citations
and
permits
through
the
through
the
app.
But
for
for
paying
for
your
meters.
We
now
will
have
the
ability
for
a
mobile
wallet
similar
to
if
anyone
has
used
Park
Chicago,
where
you
load
money
onto
the
wallet
with
that
we,
the
city,
does
have
the
ability
to
offer
incentives
for
the
wallet
to
provide
free,
additional
money
towards
parking
fees.
AJ
That's
something
that
you're
referring
to
those
are
there's
different
incentives
that
we
could
bring
forward.
And
you
know,
staff
is
working
on
different
options
as
we
move
through
the
phases
of
the
apps
to
provide
that
we
there's
also
a
feature
for
validations
as
well
that
we've
always
had,
but
we're
looking
to
improve
that
with
a
new,
with
a
new
system
to
be
able
to
offer
discounts
for
parking.
So
there's
two
ways
that
we
could
offer
incentives
is
that
yeah.
Y
Yes,
I'm
all
the
tougher
didn't
because
you're
new
here,
you
may
not
realize
that
and
I
think,
because
director
Phelan
is
new.
Also,
we
have
had
greater
compliance
in
the
last
couple
of
years
with
our
parking
meters,
since
we've
offered
credit
cards
and
the
parking
app
significantly
greater
compliance,
and
so
we
actually
have
diminishing
revenue
from
parking
meter.
Fines
then
because
people
frequently
just
pay
for
the
maximum
amount
and
so
we're
finding
that
people
are
using
those
more
and
more
frequently
and
and
I
expect
now,
with
this
this
new
app
that
that
will
just
continue.
Y
So
it's
it's
about
time,
I
mean
we
really
yeah.
We
need
to
do
this.
You
know
too
often,
I
I
know.
Yes,
it
stings
and
you
know,
as
chair
of
parking
and
transportation
I
hear
about
it
all
the
time,
but
you
know
when
we
let
it
find
stay
that
low.
For
that
long
then
moving
it
at
all.
It's
always
a
an
issue,
but
I
think
it's
about
time.
Alderman.
AA
And
you
know
the
complaints
of
I'm,
never
coming
back
and
I
think
we're
a
little
bit
overstated,
but
it
does
really
engender
a
frustration
and
anger
in
the
people
who
are
who
we
want
to
be
shopping
here.
That
I
think
is
is
to
be
avoided.
If
we
can,
I
would
rather
raise
fines
on
moving
violations
or
safety
concerns
than
expired
parking
meters,
because
I
think,
ultimately,
that
comes
back
to
bite
us
in
ways
that
is
not
productive.
V
Just
have
a
quick
question
and
I
think
this
for
me
and
for
other
people
brings
up
the
Chicago
red
light
camera
a
little
bit
in
the
sense
of,
but
just
because
people
feel
like.
If
we're
raising
fees
or
raising
tickets,
then
our
parking
enforcement
is
going
to
be
out
like
on
double
time,
giving
tickets
to
generate
revenue.
So
is
there
a
way
that
somewhere
next
year
you
can
bring
in
you
know,
say
the
tickets?
V
We
wrote
in
January
of
2018
with
the
new
fee
versus
the
number
we
did
in
2017
just
to
calm
the
fears
that
our
parking
enforcement
people
are.
Not.
You
know,
working
overtime
to
ticket
people,
because
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
the
increase.
I
think
it's
probably
is
long
overdue,
but
I
think
what
might
be
communicated
or
people
might
believe.
Is
that
we're
going
to
be
giving
more
tickets
just
to
make
money
yeah.
A
AJ
Z
Z
AA
Well,
this
is
another
one
that
I'm
not
in
support
of
again
for
the
reasons
I
stated
before
I
just
do
not
see
that
it's
fair
for
us
to
be
taxing
a
mom-and-pop
air,
B&B
rental
unit
and
not
be
taxing
our
commercial
to
commercial
bees
and
bees
at
three
hundred
and
twenty-five
dollars
per
room
per
night.
If
the
bee
and
bees
were
to
produce
at
seven
and
a
half
percent
for
us
yearly,
that
would
be
almost
ninety
thousand
dollars.
I
mean
I!
AA
H
AA
E
Z
A
B
E
C
Z
AA
AA
As
part
of
that,
we
require
the
homeowners
when
they're,
making
any
changes
to
their
buildings
to
appear
before
the
Historic,
Preservation
Commission
or
at
the
very
least
city
staff,
for
approval
for
their
projects.
In
many
instances
they
choose
to
make
after
conversation
with
staff
or
the
committee,
they
make
changes
that
end
up
costing
them
more
and
they
make
these
changes
that
cost
them
more
in
order
to
preserve
the
architectural
integrity
of
their
in
many
cases
of
their
houses.
I
just
don't
see
that
adding
more
expense.

Good
evening,
mayor
Haggerty
city
clerk,
read
councilmembers
city
manager,
Bob
Quincy,
vana,
Thomas
Smith.
What
this
is
is
by
ordinance.
We're
required
to
capture
roaming
fee
for
numbers
of
persons
living
in
a
rental
unit
is
dictated
by
square
footage.
So
the
flat
rate
that
you
see
in
the
memo
is
indicative
of
one
person
or
seventy
thousand
square
feet
for
rental
properties,
and
the
second
fee
is
450
square
footage
for
per
occupant,
renting
a
unit
and
renting
rental
rental
property
in
Evanston.
R
AA
R
AA

AA

AA
V
AK
AK
It's
it's
a
difference.
So
if
you
have
the
the
three
unrelated
issue
which
we've
talked
about,
that's
where
this
this
ordinance
would
in
these
fees
would
kick
in
versus.
If
you,
if
you
just
open
your
home
to
one
other
person,
you're,
not
that's
not
triggering
that
rooming
house,
okay,
level,
level
of
service,
all.
V
Right
so
so
I'm
not
gonna
support.
This
I
think
my
concern
is
that
as
we
look
at
the
whole
affordable
housing-
and
we
spoke
about
this-
about
getting
rid
of
our
brothel
and
so
on
and
so
forth
that
there
are
people
I,
don't
know
that
the
number
of
the
rooms-
but
there
are
people
I,
know
and
that
you
know
older
people
who
are
renting
rooms
to
stay
in
their
homes
and
I.
Don't
I
don't
want
to
incur
another
fee
for
those
people,
because
they're
already
doing
all
they
can
to
stay
in
the
home.
V
A
E
V
A
Z
We've
had
some
discussion
lately
about
the
issue
of
public
benefits
having
to
do
with
developers,
and
it
has
come
to
my
attention
that
the
public
benefits
have
been
decided
on
in
a
case
by
the
Supreme
Court,
and
that
public
benefits
can
only
be
addressed
by
virtue
of
the
effect
it
has
or
the
enhancement
it
has
on
the
building
in
question,
and
that's
a
exactly
what
I
don't
want
it
to
have.
So
in
a
discussion
of
the
city
manager,
it
seems
that
we
could
have
more
control
over
quote-unquote
public
benefits.
Z
If,
instead
of
public
benefits,
we
move
to
the
concept
of
impact
fees.
Where
we
could,
we
could
charge
impact
fees
and
we
could
mold
it
and
call
it
something
else.
If
you
don't
like
that
that
phrase
and
we
could
charge
impact
fees
that
equal
whatever
we're
now
calling
public
benefit
fees
and
have
them
do
things
all
over
town
like
do
into
a
tree
fund
or
a
school
fund
or
a
public
art
fund
and
not
have
it
associated
with
the
specific
building,
so
I
want
to
make
a
reference
to
planning
and
development
or
administration.
Z
Z
Think
that's
absolutely
right,
and
so
I
want
to
make
a
referral
to
I
believe
that
would
be
administration,
Public,
Works,
I,
think
or
even
the
Rules
Committee
to
talk
this
out.
They
they
have
had
discussions
about
allowing
investment
properties
to
be
Airbnb
ease
if
the
minimum
time
frame
is
thirty
days,
but
for
two
weeks
one
week
three
days:
no
investment
properties
where
the
owner
of
the
property
does
not
live
on-site.
Maybe
an
Airbnb
may
be
licensed
as
an
Airbnb
because
they
feel
that
it
detracts
and
diminishes
the
possibility
of
affordable
housing.
V
Yes,
one
is
that
I
I
think
the
the
Ritva
Park
District
is
going
to
open
up
their
field
house
and
came
in
Park
West
for
some
very
low
costs,
after-school
drop-in
center
for
middle
schoolers
in
South
Devon.
Since
that's
very
exciting,
they
will
be
approving
that
on
December
12.
However,
in
there
lemon
Airy
reading,
which
Bob
Dornoch
attended,
he
said
that
all
of
their
I'm
commissioners
did
support
that
they're.
V
The
other
thing
is
on
December
the
1st
from
six
to
eight
over
at
Grace
Lutheran
Church
myself
and
the
Ninth
Ward
Advisory
Committee
is
going
to
host
a
holiday
party
and
a
coat
drive
and
so
welcoming
on
ninth,
where
residents
to
come
over,
bring
some
holiday
desserts
to
share,
bring
your
family
and
also
bring
a
gently
used
coat
that
we
are
going
to
distribute
to
a
student
and
one
of
our
Oakton
dolls
or
chewed.
So
Flyers
will
be
coming
out
and
email
as
well.
AA
AA
Comment
back
on
something
that
alderman
Rainey
said
because
I've
been
thinking
about
this
in
in
terms
of
public
benefits
and
not
so
much
impact
fees,
but
public
benefits,
I
think
what
we're
doing
is
actually
right.
I
think
I
think
making
sure
that
public
benefits
are
associated
with
it,
not
only
with
the
development,
but
the
area
immediately
surrounding
the
development
is
really
important
and
I
feel
that
way,
because
this
and
I'm
not
saying
this
would
happen
in
Evanston.
AA
But
we've
seen
it
certainly
over
the
years
with
our
neighbor
to
the
south
and
I'm
sure
it
occurs
in
other
communities
where
you
have
developers
coming
in
they're,
trying
to
figure
out
what,
where
their
votes
are
on
a
city
council,
and
they
say
what
can
I
do
for
you.
What
what
does
your
award
need
and
I
would
hate
for
us
to
go
there
ever
and
I'm,
not
saying
that
we
would
and
I'm
not
saying
that
everybody
on
this
council
wouldn't
say
absolutely
not,
but
I
think
it
just
it
opens.
AA
U
Y
C
You
I
like
to
invite
the
entire
community
to
the
hanging
of
the
greens.
It
will
be
on
December
1st
at
Ebenezer.
Church
dinner
is
at
5:00
and
the
program
is
at
6:00
p.m.
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you
mentioned
the
mayor's
giveaway,
okay,
also
the
entire
community.
If
you
could,
please
join
us
at
Fleetwood
Jourdain
on
December
15th,
the
mayor
will
host
the
annual
holiday
giveaway.
All
are
welcome,
I,
don't
know
the
exact
time
you.
A
Know
it
starts
early,
we,
it
runs
pretty
much
from
7:00
a.m.
I
think
in
the
morning,
and
then
it
goes
late
into
the
day.
5
5
or
6
5
or
6
o'clock
and
alderman
druh
Simmons
is
refering
to
the
long-standing
it
just
didn't
start
with
me.
Mayor's
toy
drive
that
we
that
we
do
every
December,
that's
a
wonderful
event
for
families
that
come
in
and
and
can
receive
a
toy
or
other
things
for
their
for
their
children.
A
So
we
encourage
participation
among
our
businesses
and
other
organizations
and
people
in
general
here
to
help
those
that
are
less
advantaged.
So
thank
you,
alright,
and
and
with
that
we
actually
are
not
going
to
go
into
executive
session,
we're
going
to
bump
what
we
were
going
to
talk
about
until
until
January
it's
a
little
early,
Thanksgiving
gift
to
you
all.
Is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn?
Sorry,
a
second
all.
