A
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Clerk
we
have
all
of
our
aldermen
and
I'm
expecting.
Alderman
braithwaite
will
be
joining
us
shortly.
I'm
going
to
ask
alderman
wilson
if
you'll
move
a
motion
suspending
the
rules
and
allowing
for
remote
participation.
E
F
B
C
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you
clerk.
So,
on
an
8-0
vote,
the
evanston
city
council
has
passed
the
motion
to
allow
for
a
virtual
meeting
and
that's
because
we
still
are
in
the
midst
of
covid19,
although
I
think
all
of
us
are
seeing
the
light
somewhere
at
the
end
of
the
end
of
the
tunnel.
I'll
give
a
quick
update
shortly
on
that.
The
first
item
of
business
today,
though,
is
a
public
hearing
for
an
educational
facility
for
revenue
bonds.
A
I'm
going
to
read
a
statement
that
is
required
as
part
of
part
of
this
meeting
so
good
evening.
Everyone.
I
am
mayor,
hagerty,
mayor
of
the
city
of
evanston
illinois,
duly
appointed
by
the
city,
to
be
the
hearing
officer
for
this
public
hearing.
It
is
now
5
48
p.m.
On
monday
march,
22
2021,
and
I
call
this
public
hearing
to
order.
A
Roycemart
is
the
owner
and
the
user
of
the
facilities
being
refinanced
with
proceeds
of
the
bonds
as
the
conduit
issuer
for
the
bonds,
the
city
assumes
no
liability.
I
want
to
stress
that
no
liability
for
the
bonds
or
the
payment
of
debt
service
for
the
bonds,
the
public
notice
of
this
hearing-
was
published
in
the
chicago
sun
times
on
march
10
2021.
A
Does
anyone
present
via
teleconference,
wish
to
speak
or
express
their
views
for
or
against
the
proposed
bonds?
I'm
going
to
ask
now,
because
I
haven't
seen
it
if
it
was
emailed
to
me
yet
luke
stowe,
whether
we've
had
anyone
sign
up
to
speak
at
this
public
hearing.
A
H
Good
evening,
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity.
Thank
you
to
have
my
opinion
expressed.
I'm
adamantly
opposed
to
any
bond
hearing
that
will
fund
a
private
school
in
the
transparency
of
equity
anytime.
You
vote
to
support
a
private
school
and
will
not
support
a
school
for
public
children
to
attend
in
the
fifth
ward,
I
think
it's
the
height
of
hypocrisy
and
it's
the
height
of
the
kinds
of
things
that
we're
trying
to
move
forward
away
from
from
the
city.
So
I
don't
think
this
should
be
considered
in
any
capacity.
I
I
So
again
it's
it's
not
an
obligation
of
rice
of
evanston.
It's
not
a
liability,
of
instance,
purely
a
conduit
to
support
the
organization
of
royce
moore
school,
which
has
been
part
of
the
evanston
community
since
1915..
In
fact,
it
was
founded
by
evanstonians
and
has
been
a
long
strong
citizen
of
the
community.
I
This
is
the
common
activity
for
municipalities
to
issue
revenue
bonds
for
the
favor
of
certain
designated
not-for-profit
entities.
In
fact,
royce
moore
is
paying
a
fee
to
the
city
of
evanston
to
help
over
its
cost
and
time
incurred
in
the
issuance,
and
I
also
wanted
to
explain
for
those
who
are
not
very
familiar
with
rice
more
that,
in
fact,
we
do
have
a
very
diverse
student
body.
I
We
won't
go
into
statistics,
but
our
demographics
demonstrate
the
school's,
very
strong
long
commitment
to
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
and
part
of
that
is
the
fact
that
about
48
percent
of
rice,
more
students
received
financial
aid
from
the
school.
So
my
purpose
here
this
evening
is
to
voice
my
support
for
this
bond.
Issuance,
send
my
appreciation
to
the
city,
the
city
council,
for
holding
this
hearing
and
offering
this
opportunity.
I
A
G
That's
correct
adrian
odell
and
mike
casoco
all.
J
A
K
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
This
is
really
inappropriate
for
the
city
to
be
funding
a
private
entity,
even
though
you
know
the
claims
about.
You
know
we're
just
the
conduit,
so
they
get
a
better
deal,
that's
inappropriate!
You
don't
the
city
doesn't
do
that
for
any
other
private
organization
or
school.
K
You
know
in
a
less
fortunate
neighborhood
it's
it's
really
borderline
kind
of
a
racist
approach
to
funding,
and
it
should
just
that
be
the
way
the
city
does
business.
You
know
the
hearing,
I
I
didn't
know
I
had
to
sign
up
separately
for
this
hearing.
K
I
signed
up
for
the
city
council,
so
luke
was
kind
enough
to
put
me
on
the
list
at
short
notice
here,
but
that
really
wasn't
enough
notice
to
get
people
to
sign
up
for
public
comment
and
it's
just
inappropriate
in
a
big
way,
and
some
of
the
ultimates
should
really
be
ashamed
if
they
support
this.
A
A
Okay,
all
right
so
so,
just
for
folks
that
are
watching
adrian
finley
odell
is
the
principal
of
royce
moore
school,
so
she
was
calling
in
similar
to
kathleen
in
support
of
it
just
to
explain
a
few
things.
This
item
also
was
found
on
the
city
council
agenda.
So
when
we
get
to
that
on
the
agenda,
if
any
aldermen
want
to
pull
it
off
to
have
a
discussion
about
it,
perhaps
adrian
will
have
a
better
connection
at
that.
At
that
point,.
L
Sir,
go
ahead,
anthony
chamber
all
right.
M
M
M
As
kathleen
was
mentioning
earlier,
we
have
almost
48
percent
of
our
students
who
are
receiving
financial
aid
and
in
terms
of
diversity,
almost
50
percent
of
our
students
that
are
students
of
color
at
royce,
moore
and
obviously
my
wife,
and
I
have
a
daughter
there
and
she
just
absolutely
adores
it.
It's
really
a
place
where
the
diversity
and
the
welcoming
of
the
community
is
woven
into
the
fabric
of
race
more
and
it's
something
that
is
just
really
an
important
piece
for
why
we
chose
to
have
our
daughter.
M
A
terrorist
warrant.
We've
also
had
a
very
long
commitment
in
the
evanston
community
involved
with
the
ywca.
The
race
against
hate
stand
up
against
racism,
the
evanston
public
library.
M
We
just
had
that
had
a
long
tradition
of
really
being
involved
in
the
evanston
community,
and
we
see
this
as
obviously
as
a
big
part
of
our
home
and
really
can
speak
strongly
enough
about
what
this
will
do
for
the
entire
school
of
de
beers
to
be
able
to
continue
our
commitment
to
working
with
all
students
and
particularly
also
making
sure
that
this
is
the
place
where
students
of
color
can
be
able
to,
and
students
also
students,
family
financial
aid,
because
that
really
is
a
very
strong
commitment.
M
A
A
I
wasn't
including
the
council
members,
because
this
right
here
was
just
I
was
told
for
just
for
public
comment
and
that
the
item
is
on
the
agenda.
So
when
we
get
to
the
agenda,
if
any
council
members
want
to
pull
it
off,
we
can
just
talk
about
it,
then,
because
it
will
be
voted
on
at
that
time.
It's
not
being
voted
on
right
now,.
D
Okay-
and
I
guess
I
don't
necessarily
want
to
pull
it
off,
but
I'm
also
a
member
of
the
public
too,
it
just
throw
in
a
couple
of
cents
here,
but
notwithstanding
the
fact
that
people
keep
saying
this
over
and
over
again-
and
it's
simply
not
true-
we
are
not
giving
money
to
the
school.
We
are
not
funding
the
private
school.
We
are
not
obligated
to
pay
the
bonds
simply
not
true.
D
This
is
a
financial
tool
that
we
are
actually
getting
compensated
for
so
rather
than
us
giving
money
to
them.
They
are
actually
giving
us
money.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
clear
so
that
we
don't
all
respectively,
get
you
know,
comments
tomorrow
that
we're
paying
for
a
pokemon
private
school
and
we're
not
doing
that.
So
I
just
destroyed
my.
A
Comment
on
that,
thank
you
alderman.
Any
anyone
else
to
speak
at
this
public
hearing.
K
Well
simply
said:
you
know
if
it's
such
a
low-key
thing
to
do.
Why
don't
where
are
you
doing
it
for
all
the
unfortunate
parts
of
the
city
that
that
you
know
aren't
as
financially
as
as
a
as
astute
as
the
people
in
the
fourth
ward
near
royce,
moore
school?
Why
isn't
it
being
done
in
all
the
other
wars.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
so,
just
on
that
on
that
point,
because
I
know
that
there
are
others
that
have
that
question
city
manager,
stor
storley
with
us.
We
did
talk
about
this
last
year
when
this
went
through,
because
there
were
a
couple
concerns.
One
was
the
processing
cost
to
the
city
for
this
loan
and
I
understand
that's
been
addressed
this
year
and
then
there
was
the
the
the
question
about
equity
and
fairness,
and
can
other
institutions
also
use
this
kind
of
financing
source
through
the
city?
O
Sure,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
orchestrally
city
manager.
We
did
put
a
page
up
on
our
website
after
the
last
one
of
these
when
there
was
a
lot
of
interest
from
the
public
on
what
these
were
and
how
do
people
access
them.
So
there
is
information
related
to
how
to
utilize
this
financial
tool
on
our
website
for
those
that
are
eligible
for
it.
O
We
have
not
received
any
other
interest
at
this
point
in
time,
but
we
have
not
just
want
to
be
clear
that
if
people
were
to
come
to
us
for
this,
we
would
take
all
of
those
to
the
city
council
and
we
have
received
none
others
at
this
point
in
time.
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
erica
all
right
hearing,
no
further
addition
of
additional
people
that
want
to
speak.
A
L
Do
I
I
want
to
make
sure
anyone
else
have
interest?
Please
raise
your
hand
now
so
that
we
can
identify
you
but
mayor.
We
have
carolyn
murray
on
the
raised
her
hand
to
speak.
P
Thank
you,
mayor
haggerty.
I
really
did
sign
up
to
make
a
comment
on
a
on
a
non-agenda
item.
I'm
sorry
on
an
agenda
item
later,
so
please
don't
use
this
as
the
comment.
P
Thank
you.
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
just
ask
a
question,
because
we
have
the
family
focus
in
the
fifth
ward.
Would
they
be
eligible
for
something
like
this,
because
I
know
that
the
funding
was
an
issue
and
family
focus
for
a
period
of
time.
A
Okay,
I'd
have
to
ask
miss
missouri
if
she
knows
again
based
on
the
guidelines
that
are
that
are
put
up
there
again,
and
these
aren't
guidelines.
I
don't
think
that
are
set
by
the
city
of
evanston.
I
mean
these
are
outside
outside
third
bodies
that
set
these
guidelines,
because
any
city
can
do
this.
This
isn't
unique
to
evanston.
Mr
lee.
O
Q
Good
evening
mayor
and
the
members
of
the
city
council,
so
yes
again,
you
know
the
organizations
have
to
go
through.
Yeah,
first,
qualify
them
for
the
debt
and
it
will
be
based
on
their
finances,
their
financial
situation
and
their
ratings.
Here
again,
when
we
do
the
royce
more
or
even
in
the
past,
when
we
did
the
cara
valley,
it's
not
driven
by
the
city
of
evanston
finances
or
our
ratings,
it
is
the
organizations
and
there
are
certain
restrictions
who
can
qualify
for
these
kind
of
candidates.
Q
A
A
A
A
few
announcements
today,
first,
I
want
to
I
want
to
acknowledge
violence
that
occurred
in
our
own
community
a
week
ago,
with
the
loss
of
two
young
people
in
our
community
demarcus
coakley
and
jose
francisco
sanchez
guerrero
and
the
violence
in
atlanta,
towards
primarily
asian
americans,
who
were
killed
there.
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that
we
continue
as
a
city
to
have
lots
of
work
to
do
in
our
city
to
eradicate
hate,
to
work
with
our
young
people
and
support
our
young
people
and
help
people
with
conflict
resolution.
A
A
You
know
across
the
across
the
country
that
I
did
talk
with
our
police
chief
demetrius
cook
about
that
and
our
and
our
city
manager.
We
and
evanston
have
not
seen
any
kind
of
increase
there.
In
fact,
there
hasn't
been
any
reported
asian.
You
know
racial
hate
reported
to
the
evanston
police
department.
A
That
doesn't
mean
that
that
hasn't
occurred
in
our
community,
but
it's
been
several
several
years
before
an
incident
was
was
reported
and
I
just
want
everyone
that
is
of
you
know
asian
descent
in
our
community
to
know
that
this
is
a
welcoming
community
for
everyone,
that
we
have
no
tolerance
for
hate
towards
anyone
here
in
evanston,
and
we
will
always
support
you.
The
same
goes
for
for
our
young
people
that
live
in
all
the
different
wards
in
our
community.
Some
words
there's
more
violence,
certainly
than
others.
A
A
We
have
to
give
people
opportunities
and
we
have
more
work
to
do,
and
I
know
when
we
have
call
awards
tonight.
I
expect
a
few
aldermen
will
also
want
to
talk
about
this
as
well,
but
that's
the
first
thing
I
just
want
to
say
a
few
words
about.
Second
is
we'll
move
to
we'll
move
to
some
some
some
positive
news.
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
evanson
township
high
school's
mock
trial
team,
who
took
first
place
in
the
virtual
2021
illinois
state
bar
association,
high
school
mock
trial
invitational.
A
That
team
from
evanston
is
now
preparing
for
the
national
competition
in
may.
They
are
the
the
number
one
team
here
in
illinois.
The
isba
event
provides
an
opportunity
for
students
to
learn
what
it's
like
to
prepare
and
present
a
legal
case
before
the
illinois
courts.
Through
the
mock
trial
experience,
students
learn
to
work
as
a
team,
develop
oral
presentation,
skills
set
goals,
plan
effectively,
think
on
their
feet,
face
challenges,
obstacles,
challenging
obstacles
with
enthusiasm
and
confidence.
A
This
is
the
first
time
an
eths
mock
trial
team
has
won
the
state
championship
team
members
of
that
team
included
india,
aaron
rory,
bain,
kitty,
co,
colton,
jose,
excuse
me:
josie
hansen,
clive,
harvey
jesse,
kaiser,
grace,
mckinley
sydney,
termulin
alosa
tires
and
coco
walker.
The
team
is
coached
by
kevin,
kava
kapik
and
just
a
big
congratulations
on
behalf
of
the
entire
evanston
city
council.
On
this
first
place
finish
and
first
time
that
eths
has
won
the
state
championship.
So
that's
that's!
A
Wonderful
news
to
share
I'm
gonna
move
to
other
positive
news,
particularly
since
since
two
weeks
ago,
and
that
news
is
related
to
our
vaccination
efforts
here
in
evanston.
As
folks
know,
two
weeks
ago,
there
was
a
level
of
frustration
that
I
and
others
had
about
the
number
of
vaccines
that
we
were
getting
here
in
evanston
allocated
to
us
for
our
mass
vac
events,
but
also
frustration
that
our
residents
weren't
able
to
register
with
cook
counties
mass
vaccination
since
that
time.
A
I
am
pleased
to
announce
that
the
cook
county
mass
vaccination
sites
are
now
open
for
evanston
residents
who
are
eligible
in
phase
1d
to
register.
So
that
is
really
positive
news
that
happened
thanks
to
to
the
good
work
of
lots
and
lots
of
of
elected
officials
and
others
at
our
county
level,
state
level
and
here
in
in
evanston,
to
make
that
happen.
So
big.
Thank
you
to
president
tony
precwinkle
in
illinois,
department
of
public
health,
who
also
advocated
on
behalf
of
evanston
residents
being
included.
A
So
that
is
good
news.
Second,
bit
of
good
news
is
that
our
school
teachers
with
district
65
and
202,
not
only
our
teachers,
but
our
staff
have
been
vaccinated.
There
was
a
a
specific
event
for
educators
and
staff
yesterday
on
sunday,
a
big
shout
out
and
thank
you
to
walgreens
health
solutions,
which
is
a
small
veteran-owned
company
right
here
in
evanston,
who
help
facilitate
getting
walgreens
the
the
corporate
walgreens
that
we
all
know
and
go
to
to
do
a
special
vaccination
event
for
our
teachers.
A
So
thank
you
to
walgreens
health
solutions.
They
work
with
our
public
health
department
and
and
our
superintendents
at
district
65
and
202
to
make
that
happen.
So
that
is
good
news.
A
We
now
are
starting
to
get
that
data
from
the
illinois
department
of
public
health.
So
thank
you
to
our
public
health
team
that
has
been
working
closely
with
idph
the
numbers
in
evanston
over
37
000,
evanston
residents,
that's
16
years
of
age
and
older
have
been
vaccinated
either
a
first
or
second
dose.
They
were
vaccinated
from
various
providers,
including
our
own
point
of
distribution.
A
94
of
65
and
older
adults
in
evanston
have
been
vaccinated,
so
very,
very
good
results.
There,
59
of
people,
65
and
older
have
been
vaccinated
with
their
second
dose
here
in
evanston
we
will
work.
I
know
we
have
a
dashboard
up
on
on
the
evanston
site.
If
you
go
to
evans
city
of
evanston.org
forward,
slash
vaccines,
there's
a
dashboard
just
like
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
We
are
going
to
be
updating
and
improving
that
dashboard
as
we
get
more
data
available
to
us.
A
So
our
it
department
is,
is
working
on
that
and
that
will
also
include
race
data,
which
I
know
many
people
are
interested
in,
seeing
that
as
well.
We
have
reached
65
and
older
here
in
evanston.
A
We
are
having
a
combined
event
tomorrow,
which
will
include
some
65
year,
65
years
of
age
in
older
adults,
essential
workers
in
one
base
such
as
grocery
store
workers
teachers,
because
they
could
be
teachers
at
other
other
districts
that
live
here
who
weren't
included
in
the
district,
65
202
walgreens
event,
those
in
manufacturing,
postal
and
public
transit
workers.
A
We
are
entering
phase
1b,
plus
okay,
this
thursday,
we
will
start
1b
plus.
This
will
include
the
oldest
among
the
group
and
work
in
a
descending
order
in
age,
amida,
st
francis
who's,
been
a
wonderful
partner.
Helping
us
disseminate
some
of
the
vaccines,
particularly
the
pfizer
vaccines,
which
are
a
little
more
complicated,
is
planning
to
assist
us
again,
this
friday
and
thursday
and
friday
for
those
in
the
1b
plus.
A
A
You
need
to
fill
out
the
contact
form
which
over
60
000
people
have
filled
out
the
contact
form
and
it's
based
on
the
contact
form
that
our
health
department
will
reach
out
to
you
and
say:
okay,
you're
now
eligible
for
registration
and
they'll
provide
a
link,
and
then
you
register
from
there
events
this
week,
tuesday.
So
tomorrow
we
will
have
a
at
one
of
our
community
centers,
a
65
and
older
adults,
essential
workers
in
1b.
A
I
mentioned
that
thursday
and
friday
tentatively
will
be
ameda
doing
1b
plus
residence
thursday
we'll
have
our
final
congregate
home,
second
dose
vaccinations
for
connections
for
the
homeless
and
the
ymca,
and
then
friday.
We
hope
to
have
a
combined
event,
which
will
include
essential
workers
in
1b
and
those
in
1b
plus.
A
You
know
you're
rattling
off
all
these
statistics,
but
how
many
people
in
evanston
percentage-wise,
who
are
eligible
have
received
a
first
dose
and
then
a
second
is
we've
had
39
percent,
who
have
received
a
first
dose
in
evanston
and
22
have
received
their
second
dose
we're,
making
good
progress
as
a
city
much
better
than
I
think
any
of
us
realized
a
couple
weeks
ago,
when
all
we
were
looking
at
was
the
city
of
evanston
point
of
distribution
data,
and
so
again
I
credit
this
to
the
fact
that
there's
many
routes
to
getting
vaccinated
and
our
residents
who
are
eligible
have
been
taking
those
different
pathways
to
get
vaccinated.
A
Lastly,
I
just
want
to
talk
about
the
fact
that
the
state
issued
a
state
bridge
and
reopening
plan.
If
you
remember
phase
five,
there's
a
five-step
phase
to
our
recovery-
and
this
came
out
of
the
governor's
office
in
illinois
idph
that
phase
five
is
a
complete
reopening
of
of
our
economy
and
per
this
bridge
plan.
Illinois
will
move
to
the
bridge
phase
when
70
percent
of
the
population
65
years
and
older
has
received
at
least
one
dose
of
vaccine
into
phase
five.
A
Okay,
so
the
bridge
is
between
four
and
five
and
for
phase
five
when
fifty
percent
of
the
population
sixteen
years
and
older
has
received
at
least
one
dose
of
the
vaccine.
So
again,
evanston
is
doing
well.
But
again,
I
believe
that
those
the
state
bridge
plan
and
the
reopening
plan
will
be
based
on
our
ems
region.
So
we
are
part
of
a
much
larger
region,
and
so
it's
not
just
going
to
be
evanston
on
its
own.
Having
hit
that
mark,
but
we're
going
to
need
others
to
hit
that
mark.
A
Our
focus
will
continue
to
be
to
try
and
get
our
residents
vaccinated
as
quickly
as
quickly
as
possible.
So
that's
the
update
on
vaccinations.
I'm
just
going
to
pause
for
for
one
second,
just
to
see
if
any
of
the
council
members
have
any
questions
about
vaccinations.
A
Okay,
see
seeing
none,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
the
statistics
on
the
number
of
coveted
cases,
other
than
to
say
continue
to
work,
continue
to
wear
your
mask,
continue
to
follow
public
health
protocols,
social
distance.
All
of
that
we're
not
we're
not
at
the
end.
Yet
we
can
see
the
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel.
We
don't
want
it
to
dim.
So
please
keep
doing
that.
The
statistics
continue
to
look
positive
here
in
evanston
in
terms
of
number
of
cases
are
really
low.
Our
positivity
rate
is
really
is
really
low
as
well.
A
That
concludes
my
remarks.
Today
under
mayor
announcements,
I'm
not
going
to
turn
to
the
city
manager
for
any
announcements.
She
has.
O
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
We
have
three
announcements
this
evening.
The
first
one
is
a
presentation
to
our
police
department.
The
police
department
has
been
undergoing
a
process
to
get
accredited,
which
is
a
very
long
and
complex
process.
They've
been
working
on
it
for
over
a
year
and
we
are
happy
to
record
that
they
have
earned
the
accreditation
and
they
are
here
tonight
to
receive
this.
So
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to.
R
City
manager,
erica
storley,
clerk,
reed
and
members
of
the
city
council,
I'm
proud
to
be
here
today
with
some
of
my
colleagues,
miss
brown
she's,
a
sergeant
with
the
everton
police
department,
grace
carmichael,
who
is
one
of
our
patrol
officers
and
sarah
jones,
who
is
our
record
manager
and
our
accreditation
manager,
and
to
my
right
here.
I
have
chief
mitchell
davis
who's.
R
The
police
chief
in
hazelcrest
illinois
he's
currently
the
first
vice
president
of
the
illinois
association
of
chiefs
of
police
and
on
april
30th
he'll,
be
the
first
african-american
appointed
as
president
of
the
illinois
association
of
chiefs
of
police,
and
I'm
glad
to
have
him
here
and
the
reason
we
are
here
tonight
is
we
embarked
upon
an
accreditation
process
a
little
bit
over
a
year
ago,
and
our
objective
of
going
through
this
process
was
to
show
the
professionalism,
the
integrity
and
the
forward.
R
Thinking
of
the
members
of
our
department,
we
went
through
the
process
where
all
of
our
general
orders
were
certified
by
the
illinois
association
of
chiefs
of
police,
our
use
of
force
policy,
which
was
a
lexical
policy,
and
it
was
crafted
up
by
the
n3
policy
center.
At
northwestern
university,
with
attorney
soledad,
a
mcgrath
and
sociology
professor
andrew
papa
christos,
they
put
our
general
order
in
a
light
that
was
really
host.
R
George
floyd
and
progressive
that
that
report
has
been
disseminated
to
many
departments,
because
they
were
very
interested
in
what
dr
papa
crystals
and
ms
mcgrath
have
put
in
our
general
order.
That
pushed
president
obama
to
tweet
about
the
evidence
general
order,
so
it
was
a
a
a
collaborative
event
to
do
this.
No
one
person
in
the
evanston
police
department
could
under
take
such
an
accomplishment
alone.
S
Good
evening,
mayor
council,
member
citizens,
as
you
heard,
my
name
is
mitchell
davis
with
the
hazel
press
police
department.
Last
time
I
was
up
here,
I
was
up
here
to
see
the
chief
be
sworn
in,
so
it's
just
an
honor
to
be
back.
I
guess
I'm
kind
of
biased
about
this.
This
young
man
here
he's
a
personal
friend
of
mine
and
he's
just
you
know
a
tremendous
chief.
S
You
all
know
that
the
gym
that
you
have
and
he's
progressive-
and
he
just
does
tremendous
things
as
a
leader
and
most
of
all,
as
a
great
person.
So
it's
my
honor
on
behalf
of
the
illinois
chiefs
association,
to
bring
this
plaque
for
certification
and
award
it
to
him
and
the
evanston
police
department,
and
I
don't
have
my
glasses
on
so
I'm
going
to
try
to
read
this.
S
So
if
I
have
to
use
my
don't
laugh
at
me,
illinois
law
enforcement,
accreditation
program,
evanston
police
department,
the
illinois
accreditation
council,
verifies
that
the
evanston
illinois
police
department
has
policies,
procedures
and
daily
routines
that
achieve
the
level
of
tier
two,
which
is
the
highest
level.
S
It's
a
lengthy
process,
and
it's
very
detailed
and
this
group
of
folks
that
did
what
was
required
to
get
the
level
2
certification
has
just
done
a
tremendous
job
and
is
something
for
you
and
your
town
to
be
proud
of.
It
just
goes
along
with
all
the
other
tremendous
accomplishments
that
this
chief
and
this
department
have
already
done.
So,
as
the
incoming
president
of
the
illinois
chiefs,
I
sincerely
award
this
to
you
and
your
department.
Congratulations.
R
I
want
to
personally
I
want
to
personally
thank
our
accreditation
manager.
She
put
on
a
lot
of
hours,
organizing.
R
There
were
computer-based
processes
that
we
have
utilized,
but
we
chose
to
go
to
manual
routes,
so
we'll
really
know
what's
in
the
requirements
for
the
accreditation,
so
that
this
process
can
continue
far
after
I'm
no
longer
the
police
chief
here,
my
goal
is
to
put
the
everson
police
department
in
the
best
light
possible,
and
these
people
that
are
here
to
my
left
are
the
future
of
the
police
department
and
I
thank
them
individually
for
the
work
that
they
do.
Thank
you
very
much.
O
T
Good
evening
honorable
mayor
members
of
the
council
manager
sterling
and
clerk
reed,
I
need
access
to
be
able
to
share
my
screen.
I
have
a
two
or
three
slide
presentation,
but
I
did
I
am
here
to
talk
about
the
upcoming
events
that
we
have
scheduled
for
earth
month.
So
april
is
earth
month
each
year,
and
this
year
we
have.
There
are
dozens
of
events
that
will
be
taking
place
throughout
evanston,
I'm
highlighting
a
few
here
that
are
sort
of
larger
events.
T
T
These
30-minute
lightning
rounds
where
city
staff
will
get
to
hear
a
little
bit
about
how
we're
implementing
the
climate
action
and
resilience
plan
and
we'll
also
hear
from
some
of
some
other
departments
on
what
they're
doing
related
to
that
on
april
15th,
the
public
will
get
to
grill
me
in
a
live,
live
streamed
climate
coffee
with
kumar,
so
bring
your
questions,
that'll
be
on
zoom,
but
also
live
stream.
T
On
facebook,
facebook
live,
and
then
the
week
earth
week,
which
is
the
19th
through
the
24th
they're,
going
to
be
a
bunch
of
different
events.
The
majority
of
them
are
going
to
be
virtual
and
our
one
of
our
local
community
organizations,
citizens,
greener
evanston,
is
going
to
be
hosting
quite
a
few
events
that
week
and
so
you'll
be
able
to
find
that
information
on
our
website
and
then
on
the
24th.
T
There
are
a
couple
activities
that
will
be
taking
place
in
person
very
similar
to
what
we've
had
in
years
past
and
we
did
not
have
in
2020,
but
they'll
be
family-friendly.
Activities
at
the
ecology
center
there'll
be
tree.
T
For
these
events,
the
full
schedule
is
at
cityofevinson.org
forward
slash
earth
month
and
then
we'll
also
be
throughout
the
month
of
april,
holding
a
few
different
challenges.
These
challenges
are
meant
to
educate
people,
but
they're
also
meant
to
keep
people
engaged
and
around
topics
related
to
climate
change
in
nature.
One
of
the
one
of
the
ones
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
is
the
nature
photo
challenge
and
there
will
be
prizes
for
that
so
stay
tuned.
We
will
be
doing
these
over
a
variety
of
different
platforms,
so
this
won't
just
be
on
facebook.
T
It'll
be
a
couple
different
ways
to
do
that:
we're
trying
to
encourage
people
to
stay
active
and
stay
safe
as
a
part
of
their
celebration.
So
we're
not
doing
any
big
events.
You
know
even
outside
a
lot
of
the
the
things
we're
doing
are
distributed
or
virtual,
so
I
I
also
managed
to
early.
If
I
had
a
moment,
I
just
wanted
to
let
the
council
know
that
there
are
also
two
communications
they
should
be
made.
Aware
of.
That
will
be
coming
related
to
some
of
our
new
energy.
T
I
have
a
very
brief
slide
on
that,
if
there
may
be
another
moment
excellent.
So
as
as
most
of
you
are
aware,
we
have
two
new
and
revamped
programs
for
renewable
energy
coming
out
in
the
coming
weeks.
T
The
first
is
an
upgrade
to
our
electricity
aggregation
program,
and
the
second
is
the
launch
of
our
community
solar
program,
and
so
in
the
beginning
of
april,
residents
will
be
receiving
the
typical
letters
that
they
receive
from
our
aggregation
program,
and
so
these
are
letters
notifying
them
that
they
have
the
opportunity
to
opt
out
or
remain
in
the
program
and
then,
similarly,
a
few
days
earlier,
residents
will
also
be
receiving
postcards
advertising.
The
city's
community
solar
program
that
community
solar
offer
is
a
little
tentative.
T
O
Thank
you
very
much,
qamar
very
much
looking
forward
to
those
activities.
My
final
announcement
this
evening
is
in
regards
to
the
very
large
stimulus
bill
that
was
passed
by
president
biden
on
march
11th.
The
american
rescue
plan
act,
so
there
is
a
component
of
that
act
that
deals
with
direct
aid
to
local
governments.
O
Evanston
will
be
receiving
by
60
days
of
the
passage
of
the
bill,
so
approximately
around
mid-may
50
of
our
allotment
in
that
bill,
which
we're
estimating
at
around
45
million
dollars.
So
that
is
our
total
that
we've
been
given
to
receive
60
or
50
of
that
in
60
days
around
mid-march.
This.
These
are
grants
that
are
being
provided
to
state
and
local
governments
so
that
they
can
offset
revenue
loss
and
continue
operations.
O
So
this
is
something
that
we
had
talked
about
a
lot
last
year,
hoping
that
it
was
going
to
come
to
fruition
and
it
actually
did
which
we're
very
appreciative
of
our
federal
legislators,
who
worked
so
hard
to
get
this
bill
passed.
It's
going
to
be
transformational
in
regards
to
how
it
will
allow
us
to
recover
as
a
city
and
how
it
will
allow
us
to
continue
to
provide
the
services
that
we
provide
to
the
community
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
O
We
can
I'm
very
much
looking
forward
to
working
on
that
and
wanting
everybody
to
understand
that
every
penny
will
be
spent
to
the
best
of
our
abilities,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
our
recovery
sets
us
up
for
long-term
success
and
also
helps
us
weather
any
future
storms
that
may
come.
So
that
is
my
announcements
for
this
evening.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
A
Thank
you,
miss
storley,
we're
now
going
to
move
to
city
clerk
announcements.
I
think
there's
an
election
about
to
happen.
City
clerk
welcome.
B
Yes,
in
fact,
the
election
is
well,
I
I'd
like
to
say
well
underway,
but
I'm
almost
unbelieving
of
the
cook
county's
reporting
on
early
voter
turnout.
Today,
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
an
error,
but
it
says
that
20
evanstonians
early
voted
today,
which
is
which
is
heartbreaking,
evanston.
B
So
I'm
hoping
that
there's
some
technological
error
and
more
than
20
folks
voted
today.
But
if
not,
it
is
time
to
encourage
your
neighbors
to
get
out
an
early
vote.
We
have
on
the
ballot.
You
know
the
city
clerk's
office,
which
is
contested
all
of
the
aldermanic
seats,
except
for
the
ninth
ward,
are
contested
and
then
separate
of
the
municipality
on
the
ballot.
Folks
will
see
district
65
and
202
candidates
and
district
65
is
contested
so
evanstonians.
B
I
encourage
you
to
get
out
and
vote
early
voting
started
today,
which
is
a
march
22nd
and
will
continue
all
the
way
until
april
5th
folks
can
early
vote
at
the
civic
center,
which
is
2100
ridge
yeah.
You
can
request
your
mail-in
ballot
up
until
april
1st.
If
you
need
to
find
the
link,
you
can
do
that
on
the
cook
county
clerk's
website,
or
you
can
follow
directions
that
are
found
on
the
city
clerk's
website.
B
Under
voting
information
there
is,
there
will
not
be
drop
boxes
available
at
either
early
voting
or
at
polling
locations.
The
drop
boxes
were
available
only
because
of
a
temporary
piece
of
legislation
that
was
passed
by
the
illinois
general
assembly,
and
so
we
hope
that
that
will
return,
because
it
seemed
to
play
a
large
role
in
helping
drive,
turnout
earlier
and
making
voting
convenient
for
folks.
But
if
folks
want
to
utilize
a
dropbox
you
can
do
so
at
the
closest
location
is
skokie
courthouse.
B
So
if
you
requested
a
mail-in
ballot
and
you
have
it
and
you
wanna
get
it
in,
you
can
drop
it
off
there.
Folks
also
should
be
aware
that
you
can
utilize
same-day
voter
registration,
I'm
sorry
dude,
alder
and
fist.
Did
you
have
a
question?
I
I.
B
Okay,
folks
can
utilize
a
same-day
voter
registration
at
either
early
voting
or
their
local
polling
location
on
election
day.
So
folks
can
folks
can
early
er,
I'm
sorry
use
same-day
voter
registration
and
register
and
vote
all
at
the
same
time
at
their
polling
place
I'll,
go
ahead
and
take
the
question
over
my.
V
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you
quickly.
Have
you
heard
anything
from
the
county
clerk
about
when
mail-in
ballots
will
be
delivered.
B
Oh
yes,
good
good
question,
so
the
county
clerk's
office
held
a
press
conference
today.
I
believe-
and
they
announced
that
this
is
we
we're
seeing
record
a
record
number
of
mail-in
ballots
being
requested
across
the
county
for
suburban
municipal
elections,
which
is
expected.
You
know
during
covet
and
post
the
november
election
and
and
the
county
clerk's
office
alerted
us
that
folks
will
be
should
be
receiving
the
mail-in
ballots.
B
I
believe
next
week
is
what
later
this
week
or
next
week
so
be
on
the
lookout
very
shortly.
Folks
should
be
receiving
them
within
the
within
the
next
week,
which
again
isn't
soon
enough
for
me.
But
you
know.
A
B
Okay,
well,
that
that
is
the
information
on
the
election.
So
again,
please
encourage
your
neighbors
to
get
out
and
I
apologize
ridgeville
park
district
is
also
on
the
ballot
in
for
for
south
evanston
and
that's
an
uncontested
race
as
well.
We
have
received
a
large
number
of
communications
relating
to
our
our
reparations
measure
that
is
sp3
that
is
on
the
ballot,
are
on
the
agenda
for
tonight,
both
in
support
and
opposition
to
the
current
proposal.
B
So
all
of
those
comments
will
be
entered
onto
the
record
for
the
council
and
for
for
future
generations
to
to
look
back
at
so
thank.
A
W
B
Yes,
unless
we
received
you
know
them.
Just
recently,
yesterday
they've
been
mostly
forwarded
to
the
council:
okay,
okay,.
B
A
Right
all
right
well,
thank
you
clerk
reed
and
get
out
there
and
and
vote
and
then
do
your
civic
duty.
We
are
now
going
to
move
to
public
comment
per
our
evanston
city
council
rules.
We
set
aside
45
minutes
for
public
comment.
We
take
the
number
of
people
that
have
signed
up
for
public
comment
divided
by
the
time
and
that's
how
much
time
everyone
receives
this
evening.
We
have
62
people
that
have
signed
up
for
public
comment,
so
I'm
going
to
set
aside
45
seconds
for
each
speaker
this
evening.
A
We
have
had
instances
before
where
we've
had
this
many
speakers
on
on
different
issues.
We
have
a
lot
of
different
issues,
including
reparations
on
the
agenda
on
the
agenda
this
evening.
So
we
have
63
speakers.
Each
speaker
will
be
given
6
45
seconds.
A
A
I
ask
everybody
to
be
respectful,
there's
lots
of
folks
that
want
to
share
their
opinion
with
the
city
council
on
a
variety
of
issues.
You
may
have
already
written
something:
that's
two
minutes
or
three
minutes
figure
out
what
the
key
point
is
that
you
want
to
get
across
in
those
45
seconds,
and
please
focus
on
that.
If
somebody
else
has
already
gotten
up
and
said
what
you
wanted
to
say,
it's
fine
to
get
up
and
say
I
agree
with
phil.
A
I
think
the
same
thing
that
phil
thinks
that
that
is
good
as
well,
and
so
just
please
try
to
to
be
strategic
and
timely
in
your
comments.
X
B
Apologize,
I
didn't
know
that
this
was
gonna,
be
the
case.
May
I
recommend
and
up
to
the
council
that,
given
the
the
the
the
weight
of
the
topic
tonight,
that
we
maybe
give
folks
at
least
a
minute
and
ask
folks
who
to
to
maybe
defer
their
time
if
they
feel
they
don't
need
to
to
make
a
statement
and
maybe
work
it
out.
So
it
can
stay
somewhere
close
to
45
minutes,
but
suspend
the
rules
and
allow
for
a
minute
a
minute
and
a
half.
Z
Mayor
hegarty
that
that
particular
motion
will
be
out
of
order.
There
needs
to
be
a
motion
to
suspend
the
rules.
Yes,.
A
A
Okay,
all
right
seeing
no
discussion
city
clerk
can
take
the
role
role
on
that
motion.
F
C
A
Z
A
Rule
has
been
suspended
and
we're
going
to
allow
one
minute,
so
everybody
got
15
extra
seconds
on
a
9-0
vote
by
the
city
council
to
set
aside
today,
six
60
total
minutes,
and
so
one
minute
per
person
all
right.
I
will
rattle
off
three
names
in
a
row,
so
you
know
when
you're,
when
you're
coming
up
we're
going
to
start
with,
and
I
apologize
out
front
if
I
mispronounce
people's
names,
we're
going
to
start
with
dr
sandy
darity
kristen
mullen
and
ahmadu
drama.
AA
You
very
much
I'm
kirsten
mullen
founding
director
of
artifactual,
an
arts
consulting
firm.
There
are
some
admirable
efforts
made
by
municipalities
to
atone
for
the
damages
caused
by
their
own
race-based
policies.
However,
it
is
unfortunate
when
those
acts
of
atonement
are
confused
with
reparations.
African-American
reparations
must
have
four
central
components.
AA
First,
it
must
be
designated
for
black
americans
who
are
descended
from
persons
who
were
enslaved
united
states,
specifically
descendants
of
the
newly
emancipated
who
were
denied
the
40
acre
land
grants
for
restitution
as
restitution
for
the
years
of
bondage.
In
addition,
it
must
address
the
atrocities
that
followed
the
end
of
slavery,
including
nearly
a
century
of
legal
segregation
in
the
united
states,
sustained
white
violence
and
ongoing
anti-black
discrimination.
AA
Second,
it
must
be
designed
to
eliminate
racial
wealth
differences
in
united
states
by
building
black
assets
to
a
level
comparable
to
those
held
by
the
average
white
household.
The
staggering
black
white
wealth
gap
is
a
premier
economic
indicator
of
the
cumulative
intergenerational
effects
of
racial
injustice
in
the
u.s.
Current
estimates
indicate
that
erasing
the
black
white
wealth
gap
would
require
an
expenditure
of
at
least
10
to
12
trillion
dollars.
AA
Third,
it
requires
direct
payments
to
be
made
to
eligible
recipients.
This
has
been
the
norm
in
other
instances
of
restitution.
Two
examples
are
the
german
government's
payments
to
victims
of
the
holocaust
and
the
us
government's
payment
to
japanese
americans
who
were
illegally
subjected
to
mass
incarceration
during
world
war
ii.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
we're
at
our
at
our
time.
I'm
sorry,
I
know
it's
short
for
everybody.
We've
got
to
stick
with
a
minute,
so
so
kristin
I
had
you
second
and
I
had
dr
darity
sandy.
Darity
first
is
okay.
Do
you
do
you
want
to
take
them
the
other
minute,
exactly
okay?
So
you
have
a
minute
now.
AB
A
limitation
of
the
proposal
that's
brought
forward
is
that
the
funds
are
constrained
to
home
ownership.
Home
ownership
is
only
part
of
the
deficit
in
assets
held
by
black
americans.
Overall
primary
residences
constitute
24
of
household
net
worth
business
interest.
Financial
assets
and
retirement
accounts
amount
to
62.
AB
It
are
worth
about
184
thousand
dollars
and
in
fact
the
program
may
have
a
relatively
weak
effect
on
home
ownership,
never
mind
the
equity
gap.
The
median
price
of
a
home
in
evanston
is
432
000
and
the
twenty
five
thousand
dollar
outlay
would
be
six
percent.
A
typical
down
payment
is
twenty
percent
of
the
price
of
a
home.
Thank
you.
Finally,
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
doctor
a
minute
all
right.
Next,
we've
got
amadou.
I'ma.
Do
nice,
just
nice
to
see
nice
to
see
you
back
in
evanston
and
then
we've
got
andy
spatz
and
then
annie
coakley
welcome.
AC
Thank
you,
mayor,
never
left,
but
it's
great
to
see
you
all
resident
of
evanston
in
eighth
ward.
I
I
think
you
all
I'm
here
to
speak
on
on
reparations.
I
think
that
what's
been
proposed
is
admirable.
AC
It
is
a
sound
housing
in
equity
program,
but
it
doesn't
quite
rise
to
the
stature
of
what
I
would
constitute.
What
most
people
understand
is
reparations.
I
advance
housing
and
community
development
policy
at
the
region's
leading
planning
organization.
AC
I've
passed
legislation
at
every
level
of
government.
I've
passed
local
housing
legislation
in
this
area.
In
fact,
I've
worked
with
one
of
the
alderman's
father
on
that,
and
there
are
just
some
issues
with
how
this
has
been
structured.
It's
exclusive
most
of
the
people
who've
been
harmed
as
you've
defined.
The
harm
in
this
program
wouldn't
be
able
to
avail
themselves
of
this
particular
remedy,
as
it
relates
to
housing.
AC
It's
underfunded
and
there
are
some
important
accomplices
who
were
part
of
the
conspiracy
to
to
form
segregation,
who
also
don't
have
a
hand
in
this
at
least
not
to
atone
for
it.
So,
for
those
reasons
I
would
just
ask
that
you
all
would
you
know,
hold
off
on
approving
in
in
favor
of
the
the
resolution
today
and
just
take
another
crack
at
it
to
get
it
right,
because
it
just
isn't
right
now.
A
AD
I'm
here
to
speak
about
the
sp2
amendment,
I'm
impressed
with
the
proposed
amendment.
Hopefully
this
will
start
evanston
beginning
to
focus
on
accelerating
the
permit
time
demanded
in
the
covet
era.
We
have
a
limited
window
of
opportunity
to
inform
the
public
and
potential
investors
that
the
city
of
evanston
is
an
enabler
that
seeks
to
attract
unfortunate
entrepreneurs
and
small
business
to
our
city.
As
we
all
know,
we
have
a
location,
a
diverse
community
of
talent
and
public
transportation
and,
of
course,
northwestern.
AD
A
Excellent
excellent.
Thank
you.
Andy.
We
appreciate
being
less
than
a
minute
all
right.
Next
up
we've
got
annie
coakley,
then
ben
kadesh,
then
bonnie
wilson
and
again
we
got
one
minute.
Each
welcome,
annie.
AE
Thank
you

mayor
city,
clerk
reed
manager,
starley
and
members
of
the
city
council.
I'm
annie
coakley,

director

amendment

city
code,

an
advertising
campaign

entrepreneurs

promote
the
opportunities
we
have
for
small
businesses
in
the
downtown

Hi

council,
members,
mayor
city
manager,
storley,
my
name
is
ben
kadish

I
grew
up
in
evanston
and
I'm
a
partner
in
the
evanston
athletic
club
in
the
real
retail
property
located
at
clark

benson,
which
we
have
owned
for.
AF
AF
And
four,
the
other

paying
zero

partial
rent.
We
have
a
new

interested
in
renting
the
former
sports
clip
space.
This
female
owned
insurance
agency
wants
wanted
to
open.
On

we
are
told
that
we
were
told
it
would
take
90
days
to
have
approval
for
a
special
use
permit.
Why
does
the
city
need
a
special
use
for
an
insurance
office?
AF

AG
Hi
I'm
bonnie
wilson.
I
live
in
the
first
ward.
I've
been
a
real
estate
agent
in
evanston
for
over
36
years.
I
understand
the
need
for
affordable
housing
in
this
city.
I've
been
on
various
affordable
housing
committees
since
2008,
from
housing
for
all
to
age,
family
task
force
and
now
on
the
zoning
committee
on
joining
forces
for
affordable
housing.
AG
I
hope
you
support
pd5
a
zoning
text
amendment
to
permit
the
establishment
and
regulation
of
efficiency
homes.
This
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction
by
allowing
tiny
homes
in
evanston.
This
is
a
different
way.
The
city
can
have
more
affordable
housing,
which
we
do
not
have
now,
plus
it
will
help
to
open
up
more
solutions
on
what
the
city
can
do
to
establish
more
affordable
housing
in
evanston.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Bonnie
next
up
we've
got
carolyn
murray,
casey
varela.
Then
sherry
adams,
one
minute
carolyn,
welcome.
P
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
However,
I
do
feel
that
it
is
completely
disrespectful
to
tax
paying
residents
who
are
interested
in
very
heated
discussions
and
would
like
to
comment
on
agenda
items
throughout
council,
and
I
believe
that
when
you
deny
a
taxpayer
a
right
to
speak
on
hot
topic
issues,
you
should
make
accommodations,
even
if
that
means
pushing
some
of
the
agenda
items
off
you're,
well
aware
of
how
many
people
that
sign
up
for
public
comments
before
the
meeting
starts.
P
So
I
think
that
just
to
show
some
level
of
concern
and
feeling
that
you
are
in
response
to
what
people
have
to
say,
you
should
allow
them
more
time.
I
had
several
issues
that
I
wanted
to
talk
about
trash
disposal
and
the
lack
of
pickup
vacant
property
on
the
east
side
of
the
board
that
is
supposedly
boarded
up,
but
clearly
not
secured
to
contribute
to
any
rodent
and
infestation
that
we
have
throughout
evanston
and
the
current
reparations.
But
one
minute
we're
just
not
giving
us
enough
time.
I'm
sorry.
A
Thank
you,
carolyn
casey,
varela,
sherry
adams,
then
delores
holmes.
One
minute,
casey
welcome.
AH
As
a
white
woman
at
a
white
lead
organization,
I'm
here
tonight
as
an
ally
to
those
leading
evanston's
reparations
work,
reparations
for
black
evanston
residents
are
long
overdue
and
we
see
37r21
as
a
tangible
first
step
towards
addressing
the
harm
done
by
passing.
The
resolution
evanston
will
begin
to
stabilize,
preserve
and
increase
black
homeownership
and
address
the
wealth
disparities
in
our
community.
AH
A
AI
Yes,
my
name
is
sheree
adams
and
I
am
a
lifelong
resident
of
evanston.
My
grandparents
were
here
and
my
parents
and
I
am
excited
about
the
reparations
program
or
housing
initiative
as
alderman
simmons
calls
it
I'm
really
disturbed
by
so
many
of
the
individuals
that
are
against
it.
This
is
not
reparations
for
the
country
and
chateau
slavery.
It's
just
a
way
for
the
city
to
recognize
that
there
were
there
were
indiscreptencies
in
housing,
and
this
is
a
way
that
we
can
give
back
into
the
black
community.
AI
So
it
may
not
have
all
of
the
bells
and
whistles
that
you
need,
but
don't
slam
the
door
on
something
that
can
be
positive
for
our
community.
Remember
those
who
were
against
getting
rid
of
segregation
or
martin
luther
king,
marching
and
all
the
blacks
that
were
against
that
we
probably
would
still
be
nowhere
had
we
listened
to
them.
So
let's
go
forward
with
these
housing
initiatives
and
they
do
not
speak
for
me
or
the
5500
black
families
that
I
know
in
evanston.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
miss
adams.
We
have
delores
holmes
next
then
dr
iva
johnson
carruthers,
then
dr
ron
daniels
welcome
miss
holmes.
AJ
Good
evening
I
am
dolores
pettway
holmes
and
my
parents
came
here
in
1939..
AJ
AJ
I
have
been
a
part
of
it
from
the
beginning
when
all
the
new
simmons
came
to
the
commission
to
the
equity
empowerment
commission,
of
which
I'm
a
member,
I
participated
in
all
of
the
sessions
beginning
with
the
town
halls,
all
the
solutions
for
all
solutions.
AJ
Only
sessions-
and
I
I
have
been
a
part
and
I've
listened-
and
we
all
know
those
of
us
who
all
were
there
know
that
housing
has
always
been
the
top
of
the
list,
I'm
very
proud
of
evans
and
I'm
very
proud
of
you
as
a
council
taking
this
first
step
and
it's
only
a
first
step
and
it's
only
a
very
small
percentage
of
what
we're
talking
about
with
this
400
000
dollars.
AJ
A
Thank
you
delores.
Next
up
we've
got
dr
iva
johnson
carruthers.
Then
dr
ron
daniels,
then
elizabeth
laser
welcome
dr
carruthers.
You
have
one
minute.
AK
AK
AK
I
am
confident
that
my
four
parents
and
the
many
elders
who
raised
me
and
paved
the
way
for
me
are
rejoicing,
because
this
is
a
move
forward
for
the
nation
and
the
world.
I
spend
much
of
my
time
at
the
united
nations
and
the
world
council
of
churches,
and
I
am
the
founding
director
of
the
center
for
reparatory
justice
and
mccormick
theological
seminary.
This
is
a
moral
question.
This
is
an
ethical
question.
It
is
a
financial
question,
but
most
of
all
we
and
everson
are
leading
the
way
to
heal
a
nation.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Doctor
we've
got
dr
ron
daniels
elizabeth
laser
then
freda
morris
welcome
dr
daniels.
You
have
one
minute.
A
AL
AL
I
would
say
that,
while
I'm
in
overwhelming
support
of
this
resolution,
I
very
much
agree
with
the
opposition
that
certainly
no
number
can
adequately
absorb
the
multi-century
theft.
That
is
the
predicate
for
any
reparations
policy,
and
the
figure
on
the
table
right
now
is
is
laughably
tantamount
to
the
plunderous
record
that
it
seeks
to
redress.
AL
However,
reparations
are
by
nature
a
kind
of
fantasy,
a
kind
of
theater.
They
are
performance
of
recompense
for
irredeemable
losses
and
immeasurable
damage
to
the
black
mind
and
body,
none
of
which
can
be
properly
recovered
shy
of
time
travel.
This
resolution
is
a
symbolic
beginning
in
what
will
eventually
become
policy
everywhere,
and
it's
only
a
matter
of
time
before
generation
z,
the
oldest
of
whom
are
already
in
their
mid-20s,
will
age
into
the
political
and
financial
power.
They
will
pull
well
over
half
in
support
of
reparation.
AL
N
AL
A
Thank
you.
Next
up,
we've
got
freedom
morris,
then
harry
major
and
then
jenny
harrington,
welcome
freda
in
one.
A
N
A
A
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
move
on
I'll,
come
back
to
freedom,
morse
and
see.
If
we
have
a
better
connection,
do
we
have
harry
major
with
us.
N
This
hairy
major
all
right,
welcome
here,
hi.
I
am
heavily
in
favor
of
the
sb2
proposal.
I
was
shocked
when
I
saw
the
letter,
because
I
thought
about
this
for
years
and
experience
many
of
the
problems
that
it
deals
with.
I've
been
a
property
owner
for
40
years,
including
three
buildings
in
evanston,
and
although
kovid
and
the
internet
have
been
the
prompting
for
the
vape
current
vacancies,
the
problem
with
retail
has
gone
on
for
10
or
15
years.
N
There
is
simply
too
much
bill
so
for
years
I
have
leased
where
I
was
permitted
to
medical
office
and
service
tenants
to
make
sure
all
my
properties
were
occupied,
and
I
belonged
to
a
shopping
center
group
called
casco
35
members,
with
many
many
centers
and
for
the
last
six
or
seven
years
when
we
have
our
meetings,
we
say:
have
you
gotten
any
new
retail
tenants
and,
except
for
the
very
best
locations,
the
answer
is
no
what's
been
available.
Is
food
service,
athletics,
etc?
N
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
idea
to
make
leasing
easier
for
property
owners.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
tonight.
A
N
A
AN
Thank
you
third
generation
evanstonian
and
I'm
here
to
support
the
reparations
program.
There
are
two
things
that
bring
down
governments,
projects,
companies
and
I
fear
that
if
the
opposition
wins
with
this
and
no
money
will
go
to
anyone
and
that's
failure
to
launch
an
mvp
so
that
minimum
viable
product,
of
course,
this
is
not
enough,
but
as
alderman
rusim
and
so
eloquently
said,
join
us.
Let's
continue
to
roll
with
this
and
make
it
better.
AN
A
Thank
you,
jenny.
Next
up
we've
got
jerry
hurst,
then
jill
zordon
and
then
janice
or
janice
lee.
I
can't
read
my
writing.
So
I'm
mispronouncing
that
name
jerry
welcome.
AO
Good
evening
my
name
is
jerry:
hurst,
I'm
a
board
member
of
citizens,
greener
evanston.
I'm
here
to
support
resolution
38r21
item
a15
on
the
agenda,
requesting
that
this
body
officially
support
the
passage
of
the
clean
energy
jobs
act
siege
by
the
state
legislature,
this
city
council.
You
took
a
brave
and
pioneering
step
in
setting
out
ambitious
goals
outlined
in
our
climate
action
and
resilience
plan.
You
knew
it
was
going
to
be
hard,
but
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do
under
mayor
hagerty's
leadership.
You
challenged
our
city
to
tackle
the
climate
crisis
head
on.
AO
You
inspired
us
all.
Well,
a
bill
before
the
state
legislature
is
now
offering
us
the
opportunity
to
not
have
to
go
it
alone
by
having
the
state
as
a
partner,
putting
its
resources
and
organizing
on
a
statewide
basis.
Cgo
will
make
the
goals
that
you
set
with
our
carp
much
easier
to
to
attain
the
clean
energy
jobs
act.
Just
as
our
carp
is
a
comprehensive
plan
to
address
this
crisis.
AO
A
Thank
you
jerry
next
up
we've
got
jill
zor
zordon,
then
jonas
lee
and
then
josh
gilbert
welcome
jill
hello.
AP
My
name
is
jill
zorton
and
I'm
speaking
in
favor
of
sp2,
I've
served
on
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
for
almost
two
years
and
in
that
time
many
special
use
applications
have
come
across
our
agenda
for
the
relatively
straightforward
requests,
as
mentioned
within
sv2.
Any
concerns
of
the
zba
have
regularly
been
covered
during
the
city's
own
review
and
recommendation
process
prior
to
reaching
our
agenda.
AP
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
jill.
I
just
want
to
say
everybody
you're
doing
a
great
job,
keeping
it
to
a
minute
or
less.
So.
Thank
you.
Next
up,
jonas
lee,
then
josh
gilbert,
then
cam
howard
welcome
jonas.
A
L
A
AQ
I
just
want
to
applaud,
I
want
to
add
my
voice
to
applauding
the
current
council
and
their
brave
and
bold
and
creative
and
determined
initiative,
I'm
here
to
support
that
not
only
as
just
a
citizen
and
a
lifelong
resident,
but
also
as
a
business
owner
of
temperance
beer
company
in
the
second
ward,
and
we
went
so
far
as
to
actually
you
know,
put
our
money
where
our
mouths
are
and
we
have
a
beer
that
benefits
reparations,
because
I
believe
in
it
and,
like
has
been
said
before,
it
may
not
be
perfect,
but
you
got
to
have
a
first
draft.
AQ
You
can't
tear
that
up
it's
much
easier
to
destroy
something
than
somebody
else's
ideas
than
to
create
something
of
your
own.
So
I
applaud
you
all
and
I
urgent.
I
urge
you
to
pass
this.
A
Great
thank
thank
thank
you,
josh
and
thanks
for
what
you're
doing
with
the
beer.
Next
up,
we've
got
cam
howard,
then
catherine
got
sick
and
then
kathleen
scheidt
so
well.
Welcome.
Cam
you've
got
one
minute.
AR
AR
Tonight's
decision
is
even
larger
than
the
first.
This
decision
would
have
a
local,
national
and
global
impact.
Although
this
vote
is
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars,
it
is
also
about
600
years
of
unaddressed
or
woefully
under
addressed
global
atrocities
400
plus
years
here
in
america,
as
a
national
international
reparations
leader.
This
initiative
is
sound,
reparations
redress.
AR
Some
think
that
this
is
also
about
16
families.
I'd
like
to
give
a
quick
analogy:
three
years
after
the
1954
brown
decision
to
desegregate
the
nation's
schools,
only
nine
students
in
little
arkansas
benefited.
Initially
those
nine
students
opened
the
door
that
millions
of
students,
black
white
and
other
benefit
today,
because
of
an
ethnically
diverse
education
experience.
AR
A
Thank
you
cam
next
up
we've
got
catherine
gotsit,
kathleen
scheidt
and
then
katie
trippy
welcome
catherine
one
minute.
AS
A
Great,
thank
you,
catherine
kathleen.
I
know
you
spoke
at
the
public
hearing.
I
wasn't
sure
if
you
also
wanted
to
speak
here,
kathleen
scheidt.
A
I
think
she
may
have
just
wanted
to
speak
at
the
public
hearing,
so
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
the
next
speaker.
We've
got
katie
trippy.
Then
kent
swanson
then
mark
alston.
Welcome,
katie,.
AT
Thanks
for
some
reason,
I
cannot
get
my
video
to
start
if
the
meeting
host
can
do
that.
That
would
be
great
well
I'll
start.
AT
Right
now
there
I
am
I'm
speaking
tonight
as
a
resident
and
a
voter
of
the
sixth
ward,
and
also
as
a
candidate
for
aldermen
in
my
ward,
alderman
sufferden.
If
and
when
you
vote
no
tonight
on
the
resolution
on
reparations,
you
will
be
on
the
wrong
side
of
history.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Miss
trippy.
Next,
up
we've
got
kent
swanson,
then
mark
alston.
Then
max
puck
toll
welcome
ken.
A
All
right
we'll
do
a
sweep
at
the
very
end
in
case
somebody
couldn't
get
on
all
right.
Let's
move
to
mark
alston,
then
max
and
then
malika
gardner
welcome.
Mark
you've
got
one
minute.
AU
I
am
in
los
angeles,
I'm
in
support
of
sp3.
AU
That
30
gap
has
been
maintained
since
before
since
before
1968,
I
am
proud
of
what's
happening
in
evanston.
We
are
watching.
You
can
be
the
model
for
this
country
to
take
the
revenue
from
recreational
marijuana
and
turn
it
into
an
advantageous
opportunity
to
narrow
the
gap
between
black
and
white
home
ownership.
Is
amazing.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
alston.
Next
up
we've
got
max
patel
and
then
malika
gardner
and
then
nikeshi
tafa
and
again
I
apologize
if
I'm
mispronouncing
you
people's
names
max.
Are
you
with
us.
AV
Yes,
good
evening,
members
of
city
council,
my
name
is
max
pactell
and
I'm
here
tonight
to
voice
my
support
of
sp2,
an
amendment
to
city
code,
title
vi
regarding
special
uses,
and
I
have
the
privilege
of
serving
as
a
member
of
evanston's
zoning
board
of
appeals,
and
I
support
the
proposal
for
three
reasons.
First,
this
proposal
will
increase
equity
in
evidence,
business
community
by
winding
the
door
of
opportunity
for
new
business
owners.
AI
A
Hold
for
one
second
luke:
can
you
mute
the
other
person
all
right,
I'm
adding
a
little
more
time
back
there
max
go
ahead.
You
got
45
more
seconds.
That's.
AV
All
good,
I
support
this
proposal
for
three
reasons.
This
proposal
will
increase
equity
in
evanston's
business
community
by
widening
the
door
of
opportunity
for
new
business
owners
as
detailed
in
the
staff
memo.
Streamlining
the
permitting
process
will
reduce
direct
and
indirect
costs
to
new
business
owners,
thereby
lowering
the
barrier
to
entry
for
all
two.
This
proposal
will
increase
consistency
and
fairness.
The
permitting
process
reviews
by
dapper,
the
zba
and
city
council
are
thorough,
but
they
may
be
variable
due
to
the
particular
member
attendance
at
a
given
meeting.
AV
The
creation
of
an
administrative
review
use
category
would
consolidate
the
review
of
non-controversial
cases
in
a
consistent
manner
and
finally,
as
a
member
of
the
zba,
I
am
impressed
on
a
monthly
basis
by
the
professionalism,
hard
work
and
dedication
of
our
city's
planning
and
zoning
staff.
They
consistently
go
the
extra
mile
for
the
good
and
welfare
of
the
city
and
therefore
I
have
great
confidence
in
their
judgment
and
discretion.
Please
support
their
proposal.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Alderman
next
up
we've
got
malika
gardner,
then
nakat
and
the
ketchi
tafa,
then
patrick
hughes,
jr,
welcome.
Malika.
You've
got
one
minute.
AW
Okay,
people
are
coming
at
the
opposers
really
hard
understand.
The
opposers
just
do
not
want
this
housing
program
to
be
called
reparations
because
it
is
not
reparations,
and
I
know
that
many
of
the
white
people
on
here
they're
in
support.
I
want
you
to
just
think
of
this
for
a
minute.
We
really
just
want
them
to
take
their
time,
because
reparations
is
so
important
and
it's
being
rushed
to
a
vote,
and
I
want
you
to
think
about
this.
AW
AW
A
Thank
you,
malika.
Do
we
have
niketi
tafa
with
us
and
then
patrick
hughes,
jr
and
then
percy
berger.
AX
Thank
you.
My
name
is
attorney
nikichi
taipa,
I'm
president
of
the
taipa
group
in
washington
dc.
I
support
a
yes
vote
for
implementation
of
the
first
phase
of
the
evanston
reparations
bill.
One
of
the
areas
that
the
enslavement
era
morphed
into
was
the
denial
of
government
program
benefits
that
combine
to
exacerbate
housing,
health
wealth
and
educational
gaps
and
the
targeting
of
blacks
for
mass
incarceration.
AX
All
of
these
laws,
policies
and
practices
won't
repair
passage
of
the
restorative
housing
reparations
program
that
will
distribute
up
to
25
000
for
housing
per
everson
recipient
is
designed
to
just
begin
to
address
the
discriminatory
housing
practices
of
the
past,
as
evidenced
by
the
thorough
report
for
the
shore
front
legacy
center.
This
first
phase
amounts
to
four
hundred
thousand
a
mere
four
percent
of
the
ten
million
dollar
allocation
over
ten
years.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Nikichi
we
got
patrick
hughes
jr
next,
then
percy,
berger
and
then
renee
payton,
welcome.
Patrick
you've
got
a
minute.
AY
Okay,
can
I
not.
A
AY
It
really
it's
okay.
I
can't
start
talking
I'll
start.
My
video
thank
you,
luke
appreciate
it
hi
everybody.
Thank
you.
First,
I
just
feel
compelled
as
somebody
who
grew
up
here
in
evanston
just
to
say.
I'm
sorry,
you
know
this
repair
process
is
not
not
easy.
I
can
tell
I
can
hear
it
right
now
tonight
and
I
just
as
a
white
person
I'm.
I
just
want
to
start
with
an
apology
for
my
community,
the
the
white
people
of
who
caused
this.
I
also
wanted.
AY
I
really
just
came
on
to
thank
alderman
braithwaite,
alderman,
rainey
and
alderman
simmons,
for
what
I
think
has
been
two
years
since
20
early
2019
have
been
working
on
this.
I
think
there's
been
15
public
meetings,
there's
been.
AY
I'm
ready
to
go
with
some,
I
mean,
I'm
glad
we're
moving
on
something.
I
think
we
need
to
start
moving,
there's
plenty
more
years
to
be
adding
things
and
learning
things.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
service.
That's
it.
A
Thank
thank
you.
Patrick
next,
up
we've
got
percy
berger,
then
renee
payton,
then
robbie
marcus,
welcome,
percy.
You've
got
a
minute.
AZ
The
program
is
currently
recommended,
I'm
not
in
support
of
that,
but
I'm
very
much
in
support
of
a
concept
reparations
when
you
hear
the
term
and
as
someone
who's
lived,
18
generations
in
one
parish
and
a
southern
state.
This
is
not
reparations
and
miss.
The
the
leadership
of
this
committee
has
noted
as
such.
It's
a
housing
project
and
it
should
be
looked
at
as
such.
It's
a
housing
equity
program.
AZ
You
have
left
a
lot
of
money
on
the
table.
If
you
think
evanston
is
the
only
party.
There
are
many
other
parties
that
are
helped
in
redlining
and
they
aren't
included
in
here,
and
there
are
many
other
parties
who
have
created
much
larger
costs
to
this
city
that
those
residents
should
be
getting,
and
it's
not
a
poultry
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
the
real
estate
people,
the
development,
people,
the
banks,
insurance
companies,
the
appraisers,
the
lawyers
etc,
should
all
be
in
this
part.
AZ
A
BA
Okay,
last
year,
president
trump
said:
if
we
stop
testing
right
now,
we
have
very
few
cases.
If
you
don't
count
the
black
people
in
the
community,
you
will
have
very
few
black
people
to
receive
reparations.
You
don't
see
them,
they
don't
exist.
You
have
no
count
of
the
people
who
suffered
you
dis,
disenfranchise
the
people.
You
say
you
want
to
repair
you
put
more
time
in
creating
this
program
for
other
people
than
finding
the
original
people
who
are
do
their
repair.
BA
You
are
not
only
discriminating
against
the
black
community
by
not
trying
to
reach
those
with
no
internet
about
34
and
including
elders
with
no
house
leaving
them
in
the
coal
to
harm
them
again.
You
perpetuated
the
system,
systemic
racism
and
added
age
discrimination
to
it.
Who's,
giving
an
80
year
old,
a
30-year,
fixed,
funneling
money
away
from
the
intended
injured,
elders
and
toward
people
not
included
in
the
original
statement
is
like
you're,
stealing
money
out
of
your
grandmother's
purse.
We
want
direct
cash
payments.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
renee,
robbie,
marcus
and
then
roger
sosa
then
rose
cannon.
Welcome,
robbie
from
one
minute
all.
U
Right
good
evening,
I'll
try
to
be
brief
to
give
those
speaking
on
reparations,
especially
black
folks,
more
time
to
speak.
I'd
like
to
speak
in
support
of
the
efficiency
homes
ordinance
this
evening,
item
pd5
based
on
their
size
and
anticipated
price
point.
These
missing
middle
housing
units
could
be
a
way
for
people
to
live,
to
afford
to
live
in
neighborhoods,
which
they
can't
currently
access.
A
young
family
could
find
a
starter
home
in
evanston
or
older
residents
could
move
into
a
healthy,
accessible
housing
option
that
lets
them
downsize
and
stay
here.
U
A
Thank
thank
you.
Ravi
next
we've
got
roger
sosa,
then
rose
cannon.
Then
sebastian
sebastian
knowles.
You
have
one
minute
roger.
A
Okay,
I'm
not
hearing
rod,
roger
we're,
gonna
move
on
then
to
rose
cannon,
welcome,
rose,
you've
got
one
minute.
BB
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
rose
cannon.
I
represent
the
oldest
living
person
in
my
five
generation
family
we
are,
we,
I
represent
the
wilsons
and
the
pickens
family
here
in
evanston.
I
am
opposed
to
this
to
this
ordinance
that
you're
trying
to
pass
tonight.
I
want
you
to
take
your
time
and
let
a
new
city
council
take
a
look
at
this.
There's
no
reason
to
rush
this
through.
BB
I
don't
benefit
at
all
from
this.
I
don't
own
property
right
now
and
I'm
not
going
to
go,
get
a
30-year
fixed
rate
mortgage
with
my
twenty
five
thousand
dollars,
and
that's
not
what
I
want
to
do
with
it.
We
want
cash
payments
and
robin
promised
us
that
in
the
very
beginning-
and
I'm
not
sure
where
changed,
I
think
when
they
put
in
this
this
self-appointed
reparations
authority.
BB
That's
when
all
of
this
changed,
we
want
you
to
take
a
step
back,
let
the
new,
let
the
new
council
work
on
this,
and
I
want
reparations
just
like
any
black
person
here
in
this
in
this
city
does
and
I'm
willing
to
step
back
and
and
not
take
this
in
in
the
package
that
it's
presented
to
me
and
that's
all
I
have
to
say
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
rose
next
up,
we've
got
sebastian
knowles,
then
stephen
greenberger
and
then
tiana
wilde.
Again,
I
can't
read
my
tiana
wild.
I
can't
read
my
writing.
Welcome
sebastian,
you've
gotta.
BC
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
I
keep
hearing
about
a
next
step
about
this
reparations
program,
but
once
again,
the
only
next
step
that
I've
heard
from
any
council
members
is
that
it's
left
up
to
the
next
council,
the
next
reparations
committee,
to
deal
with
this
program.
But
I
want
to
talk
about
a
statement
made
by
reverend
michael
napers
on
march
18th,
where
he
claimed
that
he
had
been
meeting
with
alderman
simmons
and
alderman
braveway
at
9
00
p.m.
BC
On
thursday
evening
since
the
beginning
of
the
coven
19
pandemic,
where
they
discussed
reparations,
this
is
an
example
of
the
violation
of
the
open
meetings
act.
As
two-thirds
of
the
reparation
subcommittee
members
were
gathered,
which
results
in
a
forum
and
there
was
no
scheduled
meeting
times
no
agenda
of
no
minutes
have
been
posted.
BC
Therefore,
I
submitted
a
request
for
a
review
of
an
open
meetings,
act
violation,
I'm
of
the
firm
belief
that
this
vote
should
not
continue
until
after
the
investigation
is
concluded
because
of
the
severity
of
having
a
year's
worth
of
undisclosed
meetings.
I
have
nothing
but
respect
for
those
who
put
their
time
and
effort
into
this
program,
even
if
they
may
not
feel
the
same
about
me,
but
I'm
here
in
support
of
reparations,
but
this
program
is
not
reparations.
BC
A
Thank
you
sebastian.
Next
up
we've
got
stephen
greenberger,
then
tyuna
webb,
I
apologize
tyuna.
If
I'm
mispronouncing
that
and
then
tina
payton
welcome
stephen.
You
got
a
minute.
BD
I'm
a
law
professor
and
I'm
very
much
in
support
of
reparations.
However,
I
have
to
tell
you-
and
I
hope,
you'll
listen-
this
this
ordinance
is
doomed
to
be
declared
unconstitutional.
BD
You
have
a
conservative
majority
on
the
supreme
court
now
and
if
you
single
out
african
americans
like
this,
it's
not
going
to
remain
law.
There
are
a
couple
other
ways
you
can
go
about
this.
What
will
directly
accomplish
your
goal?
BD
First,
you
can
make
the
program
open
to
everyone,
knowing
that
there
are
no
white
people
who
are
going
to
be
able
to
demonstrate
that
they
were
discriminated
against
on
during
this
period.
Second,
you
could
you
could
place
a
clinic
or
other
infrastructure
in
the
fifth
ward
to
benefit
on
the
black
population
in
the
city.
I
very
much
support
the
idea,
but
I
I
have
no
doubt
whatsoever
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
feudal
gesture
and
you're
going
to
end
up
making
bad
law
and
the
ordinance
will
be
declared
unconstitutional.
A
Thank
you,
professor
appreciate
appreciate
that
perspective.
Next
up,
we've
got
tyuna
webb
and
then
tina
payton
and
then
vanessa,
johnson,
mccoy.
BE
Good
evening
my
name
is
tiana
webb
and
I
agree
with
those
who
spoke
in
support
of
the
reparations
initiative.
I'm
a
resident
in
evanston
and
my
husband
works
at
the
university
and
we
are
parents
of
two
young
children.
I
also
speak
as
a
person
of
faith
who
is
a
black
woman
and
I'm
aware
that
the
wealth
disparity
is
a
burden
particularly
felt
by
black
women
and
girls.
I
echo
those
who
spoke
before
me
in
support
of
reparations
in
evanston,
and
I
know
this
resolution
is
long
overdue.
BE
A
Thank
you.
Next
up,
we've
got
tina
peyton,
then
vanessa,
johnson,
mccoy
and
then
violetta
cullen
welcome,
tina.
You've
got
a
minute.
BF
Good
evening
our
family
has
been
in
the
same
house
for
over
100
years,
and
I
am
black
and
I
have
been
discriminated
against
by
the
city
of
evanston
for
many
years.
I'm
voting
yes
for
cash
payments
and
no
for
housing
programs.
We
demand
transparency,
the
amount
of
money,
that's
in
the
fund
right
now,
the
location
of
the
money
and
what
type
of
fund
is
the
money
in
being
held?
There's
no
priority
for
senior
citizens
without
a
home.
No
clear
plan
for
distribution
money
is
going
back
to
the
bank,
which
is
the
offender
the
offender.
BF
In
this
process
we
have
been
discriminated
against
with
by
the
banks.
Why
should
they
be
rewarded
with
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
and
not
to
the
person
who
has
been
damaged
by
this
process?
Also,
why
didn't
alderman
support
homeowners
to
access
money
that
was
given
to
cipa
for
repairing
their
home
for
over
forty
thousand
dollars?
We
could
have
gotten,
but
no
one
has
talked
about
the
plan
for
the
480
000
that
was
received
by
the
city
of
evanston.
Why
can't
we
get
that
money
instead
of
using
reparations
money
which
we
should
have
cash
payments?
A
Thank
you
tina.
Next
up,
we've
got
vanessa
johnson,
mccoy,
then
violetta,
colin
and
then
kevin
brown
welcome
vanessa.
You
have
a
minute.
BG
Thank
you,
mayor
and
good
evening
to
everyone.
I
am
vanessa
johnson
mccoy.
I
am
born
and
raised
right
here
in
evanston,
as
well
as
my
dad,
who
was
raised
in
the
fifth
ward,
but
they
were
able
to
buy
in
the
second
ward,
but
not
without
struggles
when
in
fact
he
worked
at
evanston
hospital
and
would
have
wanted
to
purchase
their
home
there
in
that
area,
but
were
not
allowed
to,
because
why?
Because
of
redlining
and
they
were
restricted.
But
I
won't
go
all
into
that.
BG
I
am
a
current
real
estate
agent
with
coldwell
banker
here
in
evanston,
and
I
can
see
that
the
housing
differences
still
are
impacted
even
today,
when
I
look
at
a
market
analysis
for
homes
in
the
predominantly
historically
black
communities
versus
those
that
are
not,
and
so
I
could
go
on
and
on,
but
I
know
I
only
have
60
seconds
and
they're,
probably
at
least
half
up
by
now.
So
I.
BG
A
BH
Good
evening,
thank
you
steve.
I
am
here
this
evening
to
speak
in
support
of
the
amendment
to
the
city
code,
title
six
regarding
special
uses.
I
have
been
the
chairman
of
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
for
the
past
eight
years.
I
can
honestly
tell
you
that
our
staff
is
very
well
prepared
as
far
as
they
how
they
present
the
special
uses
to
us
and
I
feel
like
we
can
move
forward
with
the
administrative
review.
BH
A
BI
BI
I
find
myself
asking:
why
must
the
program
purporting
to
benefit
black
people
not
be
subject
to
the
same
rigor
and
scrutiny
as
any
other
city
program?
When
one
is
building
a
house,
one
does
not
build
a
kitchen
and
then
say
we
will
add
other
rooms,
as
we
figure
out
what
kind
of
home
we're
going
to
build.
BI
I
do
not
think
any
other
group
that
has
received
reparations
would
tolerate
such
a
sloppy
effort
and
again,
the
push
forward
appears
to
be
more
oriented
towards
photo
ops
and
marketing,
something
that
simply
isn't
true.
The
city
of
evanston
should
not
willingly
mislead
our
country
by
declaring
reparations,
have
been
provided
to
black
evanstonians
by
providing
a
benefit
to
potentially
16
people.
We
support
the
housing
program.
We
don't
support
calling
this
reparations
because
it
simply
is
not.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
next
up,
we've
got
sarah
diggs,
then
daniel
featherson,
then
owlette
wright.
Welcome.
Welcome.
Sarah
you've
got
a
minute.
BJ
I
have
to
tell
you
that
my
family
has
resided
in
the
city
of
evanston
since
the
early
1900s,
and
I'm
pleased
that
the
city
is
acknowledging
the
housing
disparity
as
well
as
to
be
the
first
city
in
the
nation
to
propose
redress
for
it,
and
I
don't
have
much
time
skipping
by
everything
I
wanted
to
tell
you.
I
think
that
the
facts
are
very
salient
and
well
laid
out.
Simply
we're
not
saying
is
perfect,
but
there
was
harm
to
housing,
and
this
is
an
attempt
to
repair
the
harm
to
the
housing.
BJ
This
is
a
matter
of
housing
equity
which,
on
its
face,
may
appear
to
benefit
a
select
few,
but
in
reality
it
benefits
all
of
the
citizens
of
evanston,
not
just
those
of
color
home
ownership
and
revitalization
of
homes
in
this
community
lends
to
increased
values
of
all
the
homes
in
the
city.
Furthermore,
studies
support
that
there
are
reduced
crime
rates
as
well
as
other
benefits
as
a
direct
result
of
pride
of
home
ownership,
home
ownership
strengthens
communities
and
strong
communities
build
strong
cities.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you.
Sarah
daniel
featherson
is
next,
then
wright.
Then
priscilla
giles
welcome
daniel.
You
got
a
minute.
A
Let's
see
we
don't
see
daniel
here.
So
I'm
just
saying
not
here
how
about
earlett
wright.
BK
Okay,
my
family
has
been
in
evanston
since
the
19th
early
1900s
as
well.
My
mother
was
born
here.
I
do
not
agree
that
this
is
reparations.
I
know
what
reparations
is,
and
this
isn't
it.
This
is
public
housing.
I
have
no
problem
with
affordable
housing,
which
is
what
this
is.
But
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
this:
even
if
you
give
someone
25
000,
which
you
should
be
able
to
give
until
25
000
and
they
can
do
whatever
they
want
to
do
with
it.
BK
A
Thank
you,
miss
wright.
Next
up
we've
got
priscilla
priscilla
giles,
then
janet
alexander
davis
and
then
jeff
masters
welcome,
miss
childs.
W
BL
When
my
my
family
came
here
in
the
late
late
1800s,
they
experienced
the
same
kind
of
thing.
That's
going
on
even
today
when
the
city
council
voted
to
accept
the
reparations
for
the
city
of
evanston.
I
questioned
the
one
alderman
who
voted
against
it.
I
now
understand
why
it
was
explained
to
me
that
the
plan
should
have
come
before
the
vote,
and
I
agree.
100
percent,
though
we
need
we
black
americans
need
reparations.
The
plan
as
it
stands
is
not
reparations.
Thank
you.
A
BM
Mayor
city
council,
I
really
just
wanted
to
be
on
the
call
tonight,
but
I
have
to
say
strongly
support
the
program
that
has
been
put
together.
People
have
worked
for
close
to
two
years
and
had
brought
before
a
council
that
voted
for
the
reparations.
BM
A
Thank
you
janet.
Next
up
we've
got
jeff
masters,
then
carlos
sutton,
then
matt
rogers
welcome.
Jeff.
You've
got
a
minute.
AB
Thank
you,
I'm
a
member
of
the
fifth
ward,
jeff
masters
and
I'm
strongly
in
support
of
resolution.
37
r27.
I
feel
a
huge
sense
of
pride
two
years
ago,
when
evanston
led
the
way
to
come
up
with
a
government-funded
reparations
program.
I
know
that
the
committee
has
worked
diligently
over
the
two
years.
They've
had
open
meetings,
there's
plenty
of
time
for
comment,
and
I
think
it's
part
of
the
fifth
ward
housing
has
been
a
big
issue
for
everybody
in
trying.
How
do
we
help
housing
initiatives
with
the
residents
that
are
here?
AB
This
is
a
step.
It
is
a
start
that,
but
I
think,
with
all
the
hard
work
for
the
committee,
I
think
we
should
move
forward
and
as
we
go
forward,
we'll
have
a
new
committee
and
the
new
committee
can
add
new
traction.
A
A
Hello
luke:
can
we
can
we
mute
that
person
and
we'll
start
carlos
again
all
right?
Thank
you.
Carlos
go
ahead.
You've
got
a
minute.
F
H
Muted,
okay,
there
you
go
okay,
thank
you,
mayor
hagerty,
clerk,
reed
and
city
manager
story,
giving
me
this
opportunity.
First,
I
want
to
support
the
passage
of
the
rep
rations,
but
secondly,
I
think
we
should
have
a
reconsideration
of
prioritization
and
distribution
by
independent
committee.
I
also
think
we
should
have
on
the
agenda
cash
payments.
We
also
should
prioritize
the
elderly
and
their
needs
for
reparations.
H
A
BN
BN
This
change
to
handling
specific
types
of
special
uses
is
an
excellent
way
to
move
certain
businesses
through
the
process
quickly
and
to
aid
in
evanston's
economic
recovery.
These
cases
are
not
controversial
and
the
few
neighborhood
impact
items
such
as
hours,
employees
and
parking,
are
handled
through
conditions
which
are
regularly
placed
on
special
uses.
BN
I
urge
your
support
of
staff's
proposal
also
for
pd5.
The
efficiency
homes
were
back
for
the
third
meeting
on
this
we've
gone
from
an
alderman
seeking
to
suspend
the
rules
for
introduction
and
action
to
regular
order
to
now
it
being
placed
on
a
whole
has
been
in
the
system
for
nine
months
since
the
application,
and
even
longer,
when
counting
the
applicant's
discussion
with
staff
prior
to
apply
do
not
delay
this
any
longer.
It's
time
to
vote,
to
allow
construction
of
efficiency
homes
on
underutilized,
substandard
lots
in
evanston.
Thank
you.
A
BO
Yeah
sorry
about
this
technology
here,
I'm
I'm
getting
used
to
it.
I
was
a
I've
been
an
ediston
resident
since
the
1950s,
and
this
bill,
as
has
presented,
will
give
homeowners
or
future
homeowners
a
great
opportunity
to
start
building
some
legacies
for
their
children.
BO
A
Thank
you.
Next
next
up
we've
got
mayor
rozinski,
then
mike
vasilco,
then
catherine
johnson,
welcome
mary.
You
have
a
minute.
BP
Thank
you
very
much.
I
am
very
much
in
favor
of
reparations.
However,
this
plan
seems
that
there
has
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
feel
represented
with
it,
and
I
think
that
is
problematic
and
that
the
problem
originated
with
people
being
excluded.
So
I
would
like
us
to
look
at
that
not
to
stop
reparations
but
to
get
it
right
and
also.
BP
I
would
hope
that
if
we
doing
something
where
it's
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
per
person-
and
maybe
people
could
get
together-
maybe
maybe
10
people
could
get
together
and
they
could
buy
themselves
a
building
and
then
they
could
have
something
that
is
also
they
could
live
in
and
rent
out.
Should
they
choose
to
do
that?
So
I
don't
know
if
that's
part
of
it,
but
I
would
hope
so
so
I
don't
want
to
step
now
for
reparations,
because
I
am,
I
just
don't
want
people
to
feel
people
who
are
deserving
to
feel
excluded.
BP
A
Thank
you
mary.
Next
we've
got
mike
vasilco,
then
catherine
johnson,
then
nicholas
hines.
Welcome
mike
you've
got
a
minute.
K
K
I
tend
to
listen
to
those
people,
and
maybe
you
should
consider
that
one
thing
I'm
curious
about
is,
as
I've
heard,
that
some
funds
are
going
to
be
taken
from
the
good
neighbor
fund
and
used
for
the
reparations
fund,
because
there's
some
projected
revenue
losses,
I'm
wondering
if
somebody
could
have
could
elaborate
on
that,
and
secondly,
I
thought
I
heard
previous
speakers
say
because
I
heard
I
saw
a
report
and
evidence
now
about
a
lawsuit,
a
potential
lawsuit
coming
our
way
regarding
the
current
housing
program
or
the
restorative
housing
program,
as
it's
being
presented
as
reparations.
K
So
I
think
that's
another
issue
that
really
should
be
vetted
before
you
move
forward
again,
not
for
me
to
say,
but
I
would
like
some
feedback
on
whether
or
not
funds
are
being
taken
from
the
good
neighbor
fund
for
reparations.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
mike.
The
good
neighbor
funds
from
northwestern
university
are
not
being
are
not
part
of
the
reparations
program
that
we're
talking
about
tonight.
The
reparations
program
is
being
funded
with
the
cannabis
revenue
up
to
10
million
dollars,
not
with
the
northwestern
good
neighbor
fund
money.
Catherine
catherine
johnson
is
next,
and
then
we
got
nicholas
hines
and
then
tina
penick.
It
looks
like
welcome.
Miss
johnson
you've
got
a
minute.
BQ
Mr
mayor,
I'm
I'm
on
the
I'm
on
for
the
meeting
for
a
consent
agenda
for
later
so
I'll.
Let
someone
else
speak
on
this
behalf.
A
BQ
A
Gotcha
gotcha,
for
which
just
so
I
know
for
which
got
it.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Next,
then,
we've
got
penick
and
then
I
don't
think
there
was
a
name
here.
Just
says:
l,
j
m
and
then
sandy
mathurin.
So
do
we
have
tina
pennic
with
us.
A
Okay,
how
about
sandy
methurin.
A
Right,
how
about
brenda
greer
do
we
have
miss
greer
with
us
and
if
we
do
welcome
miss
greer
you've
got
a
minute.
BR
Good
evening,
council
members,
I'm
speaking
tonight
and
to
my
family
member,
mary
wilkerson
and
nancy
brown,
who
worked
with
the
naacp
in
march
with
dr
king,
mary,
introducing
myself
and
other
youth
within
the
community
during
the
60s
to
the
naacp,
who
owned
already
her
home
and
nancy,
also
and
mary,
having
repairs
poorly
done
on
her
home
and
not
needing
it.
BR
How
do
you
compensate
these
people
who,
in
the
past,
tiredly,
worked
and
marched
for
the
rights
and
equals
of
others,
the
black
community,
to
the
greers,
the
giles,
the
greens,
the
richmonds,
the
gifts,
the
mistreatment
by
law
enforcement
here
in
evanston
during
the
60s,
the
70s,
the
80s,
and,
to
this
day
myself?
Also
having
guns
drawn
on
me
doing
a
79
across
from
the
fuller's
home
on
the
in
the
1500
block
of
emerson
to
those
that
think
that
this
should
go
forth
as
it
is.
BR
It's
totally
wrong,
no
dino
time
out,
starting
with
smart
with
small
parts,
time
out
for
building
anything
and
starting
from
the
small
parts.
My
ancestors,
myself
and
others
started
already
with
the
small
part,
took
the
small
and
one
slice
of
the
pie,
and
we
also
on
friday's
clock
out
and
looking
at
our
checks
and
knowing
that
it
should
have
been
more
dollar
signs
behind
the
dollar
sign
in
desmond.
BR
So
noah
should
vote
tonight
on
this
reparations
to
go
forth
for
housing,
because
there
are
already
programs
in
place
many
for
how
buying
homes
for
repairing
your
home.
So
I
do
hope
that
this
doesn't
go
forth
and
I
am
fully-
and
I
am
fully
in
agreement
for
reparations,
and
I
applaud
you
all
for
the
work
that
you
have
done
on
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
next
up,
we've
got
ray
friedman.
BS
Thank
you
very
much
good
good
evening.
Everybody.
Thank
you
for
the
little
bit
extra
time,
a
lot
of
people
speaking
tonight,
real
quick.
I
had
a
bunch
of
things
to
talk
about
no
time.
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
reparations
of
which
will
not
affect
me
whatsoever.
BS
No
one
has
spoken
against
reparations.
I'm
100
in
favor
of
represent
reparations.
Sorry,
as
is
everybody
else,
okay.
This
is
not
the
right
program
for
reparations.
This
needs
to
be
discussed
further.
There
are
seventy
five
thousand
residents
in
evanston.
Sixteen
percent
are
black
residents.
That
would
be
about
twelve
thousand
residents.
BS
Okay,
and
this
program
would
help
eight
to
16
residents,
which
means
you
left
out:
11
984
residents,
potentially
okay.
This
is
not.
This
is
discrimination
in
itself,
so
this
is
not
a
program
that
you
want
to
move
forward
with.
The
program
needs
to
be
discussed.
If
you
want
to
know
what
program
will
work?
Just
ask
the
12
000
black
residents
to
vote
on
a
reparations
program
and
you'll
know
what
program
will
work.
Thank
you.
A
Very
much
appreciate
appreciate
it.
Next
up,
we've
got
dr
reverend
mike
dr
reverend
michael
nabors,
and
then
we've
got
anna
kroger
welcome.
Dr
neighbors.
You've
got
a.
BT
BT
Thank
you
so
much
mayor,
I'm
going
to
begin.
We
are
nearly
158
years
past
the
day
abraham
lincoln
signed
the
emancipation
proclamation
402
years
past
the
year
of
a
dutch
ship
landing
at
plymouth,
rock
with
20
african
slaves.
BT
This
evening
we
are
standing
on
the
precipice
of
enormous
change
from
the
secretary
of
state
in
california,
dr
shirley
weber,
introducing
legislation
for
reparations
in
that
state
to
an
episcopal
church
in
baltimore,
who
recently
agreed
to
a
fund
of
500
000.
For
the
first
time,
the
united
states
is
moving
in
the
right
direction.
I
believe
this
surge
of
good
will
began
right
here
in
evanston
about
two
years
ago,
and
it
is
in
this
space
and
time
that
we
now
command
the
attention
of
the
world.
Let
me
encourage
every
older
person
to
vote
yes
tonight.
BT
I
encourage
you
to
vote
yes,
because
we've
waited
long
enough.
I
encourage
you
to
vote
yes,
because
this
is
a
single
step
on
a
thousand-mile
journey
that
should
have
started
a
long
time
ago.
I
encourage
you
to
vote
yes
because
of
the
chains
of
hesitation
must
end
now.
As
we
begin
this
first
step,
we
will
set
in
motion
a
tide
of
movement
that
will
benefit
tens
of
millions
of
black
people
everywhere.
BT
A
BU
Hi,
thank
you.
I
guess
I
I
can't
see
how
to
to
do
my
my
video,
but
maybe
the
moderator
or
host
can
do
that.
Yes,
my
name
is
oh
here
we
go,
I'm
gonna
start.
My
name
is
anna
krogart.
I'm
speaking
today,
thank
you
to
register
my
support
for
the
reparation
subcommittee's
recommendation
that
the
council
vote
to
adopt
resolution
37r27,
I'm
speaking
as
someone
raised
in
evanston
a
graduate
of
oakton
nichols,
eths
and
northwestern
university.
BU
I
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
reparations
subcommittee
and
others
who
have
worked
diligently
to
develop
this
reparations
initiative,
as
many
others
have
said,
placing
our
city
at
the
forefront
of
one
of
our
country's
most
challenging
issues,
I'll
cut
to
some
of
these
other
things
here,
and
I
just
want
to
support
everything.
That's
been
said
by
before.
I
think
it's
wonderful
that
our
city
is
having
such
public
engagement
and
lively
animated
debate
around
how
our
reparations
initiative
will
proceed.
BU
A
Thanks
anna
and
then
our
I
believe
our
last
speaker
is
tina
penick
and
then
kimberly.
I'm
gonna
turn
to
you
to
see
if
there's
anyone
that
I
missed,
that
should
have
been
called
and
if
not,
we
will
then
move
on
to
the
agenda.
BV
Minute
good
evening
and
all
of
the
other
aldermen
and
people
on
the
board,
I
just
wanted
to
definitely
state
that
I
am
in
agreeance
with
agenda
sp3.
It
is
a
long
time
coming.
BV
It
was
two
years
ago
that
it
was
presented
to
the
city
of
evanston
of
a
reparation
as
a
stepping
stone
to
begin
something
of
repairs
for
black
people
here
in
evanston,
and
in
no
ways
can
this
pay
everyone?
BV
A
Thank
thank
you
tina
and
I
understand
from
kimberly
richardson
that
we
have
no
more
speakers
tonight.
I
want.
B
Yep,
thank
you.
I
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
aldermen
ruth
simmons,
alderman
fleming
aldrin,
braithwaite,
alderman
holmes,
alderman
baptiste,
alderman,
jordan
and
all
of
the
other.
You
know
african-american
representatives
that
we've
had
that
have
laid
the
foundation
for
today.
B
I
encourage
everyone
on
the
council
to
vote
their
conscience.
I
don't
think
that
now
is
a
time
to
look
backward,
but
I
think
it's
a
time
to
look
forward
and
looking
forward.
What
I
do
hope
is
that
the
appointment
of
the
reparations
subcommittee
is
the
most
transparent,
participatory
process
that
the
city
of
evanston
has
ever
seen,
and
so,
as
we
are
naming
the
new
members
of
that
board,
I
hope
we
lead
in
a
new
way
moving
forward.
B
So
thank
you
all
for
the
work
that
has
been
done
and
I
encourage
everyone
to
vote
their
conscience
tonight.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
devon,
reed,
okay,
now
my
understanding
is
that
completes
public
comment,
so
thank
you
to
luke
stowe
and
kimberly
richardson,
who
are
working
behind
the
scenes
to
help
us
get
through.
All
of
our
public
comment
lots
of
issues
on
our
agenda
tonight.
I
know
the
council
appreciates
everybody
that
came
forward
to
speak
tonight,
passionately
about
a
variety
of
issues.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that.
A
We're
now
going
to
move
into
the

the
agenda
and-
and
we

three
items
that
are

special

of
business.
So
I'm

A
Miss,
let
me
start
with
miss

Is
there
anything
staff
wanted
to
add
to
this.
A
All
right
so
seeing
seeing
no

I'm
gonna
ask
the
city

he
will
take

BK

A
All

thank

Alderman
rainey.
Could
you
please
move
for
discussion?
Sp2.
BW
A
All
right,
so
this
item
has
been
moved
and
consecutive
for
discussion,
we'll
start
with
alderman
fisk.
V
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I'm
strongly
in
support
of
this.
We
we
had
a
meeting
with
the
the
downtown
alderman
was
the
downtown
business
and
property
owners
last
week,
and
this
this
is.
This
is
something
that
that
we
really
need
in
order
to
fill
our
vacant
storefronts
and
relieve
the
cost
to
the
applicant
for
making
a
an
application
for
a
special
use
and
eliminate
the
associated
delay.
V
So
I
I
think
this
is
extremely
important
for
us
to
do.
I
hope
you'll
all
support
it.
I'm
alderman
wilson,
I'm
sure
you
will
pick
up
on
my
comments
here.
D
I'll
pick
up
on
your
balance,
but
yes,
solomon
fisk
is
right.
We
we
did
hear
from
a
number
of
businesses
and
representatives
of
this
community,
the
other
night
but
other
day
rather
but
we've,
I
think,
we've
all
been
hearing
from
them
on
an
ongoing
basis.
I
know
that
our
staff-
I
see
mr
zelda
zack
and
ms
klotz
here.
D
I
know
that
they've
been
hearing
from
people
as
well.
It's
it's
going
to
be
really
important
over
the
next
months
to
be
as
nimble
as
possible
in
getting
people
back
on
their
feets
and
getting
entrepreneurs
and
creative
ideas.
You
know
the
chance
to
to
move
forward
without
an
undue
burden
and
expense
of
of
getting
their
things
off
the
ground.
So
hopefully
we
can
get
this.
You
know
rolling
out
in
short
order
and
help
those
businesses
also
get
their
recovery
going.
BW
Well,
we
had
chair
cullen
speak
to
us
in
citizen
comment
on
this
also
and
tonight
on
the
consent
agenda
is
a
special
use
at
955
howard.
The
only
thing
in
that
strip
mall
is
special
uses.
You
know
of
fast
foods
and
really
there's
no
reason,
no
reason
for
them
to
go
through.
You
know
a
six-month.
BW
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
good
randy,
any
any
further
discussion
or
comments
from
council
members
seeing
none
city
manager.
It
seems
like
the
council's
support.
I
know
this
is
just
a
discussion
item
tonight,
but
supportive
of
these
text
amendments
to
make
things
easier
for
our
businesses.
O
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
appreciate
it
seeing
that
there
seems
to
be
general
consensus
for
us
to
move
forward
and
refer
this
to
the
plan
commission.
We
will
reserve
the
discussion
and
presentation
that
we
had
planned
for
that
and
we
will
put
it
up
on
the
city's
website
to
make
available
for
the
public.
A
All
right,
terrific,
thank
thank
you
all
right.
I'm
not
alderman
rainey.
BW
Mr
mayor,
I
would
like
to
yield
the
floor
on
sp3
to
alderman
simmons.
Yes,.
A
All
right,
you
have
worked
hard.
You
have
worked
hard,
alderman
rainey,
and
I
want
everybody
to
know
once
again
that
it
was
alderman
rainey
who
had
really
the
novel
idea
of
using
cannabis
revenue
to
fund
reparations
and
that's
a
big
part.
There's
two
parts
of
reparations:
hey
we've
got
to
figure
out
how
to
fund
it
and
be
is
implementing
it,
which,
as
we're
seeing
tonight,
is
complex
and
challenging.
So
thank
you,
alderman
rainey
for
for
doing
that
and
alderman
roos
simmons.
If
you
want
to
move
sp3.
AM
Thank
you
and
before
I
do
that,
I
want
to
add
one
more
thing
about
audrey
rainey.
She
was
partnered
with
judge
lionel
jean-baptiste
when
he
was
the
second
word
alderman
and
they
introduced,
along
with
the
city
council
and
passed
our
first
reparation
resolution
in
evanston,
and
so
this
work
actually
began
in
evanston
in
2002.
AM
It
didn't
begin
today
or
even
two
years
ago
it
began
with
the
leadership
of
the
city
council.
At
that.
AM
Was
awesome
and
ottoman
went?
I
was
waiting
for
that
information
who
I
thought
you
and
autumn
and
fifth
may
both
have
been
there,
but
I
didn't
get
the
information
back.
So
thank
you
all
for
establishing
this
path
forward
to
reparations
in
evanston.
We
are
only
building
on
the
work
that
you
started
in
2002.
AM
sp3,
adoption
of
resolution
37r27
authorizing
the
implementation
of
evanston
local
reparation,
restorative
housing
program
and
program
budget.
The
reparations
subcommittee
recommends
city
council,
adopt
resolution
37r21
to
authorize
the
implementation
of
the
local
reparation
restorative
housing
program
and
the
initial
program
budget
of
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
funding
will
be
provided
from
the
local
reparation
fund.
This
I
move
approval.
BX
AM
A
A
I'm
not
sure,
I'm
not
sure
if
they
were
planning
to
do
a
staff
presentation.
Unless
the
council
wants
it
or
you
would
like
it
I'll
turn
to
deputy
city
manager.
Richardson
for
that.
L
Good
evening
mayor
city
council,
it
see
manager
sterling
city
clerk
reed.
I
do
have
a
a
very
quick
couple
of
slides
just
to
give
an
overview
of
the
program
if
you
like
for
that
to
occur.
Alderman
simmons.
L
Okay,
all
right
so
nope,
that's
not
sheer.
Let's
present,
okay.
L
So
again,
the
restorative
housing
program
is
the
first
initiative
developed
by
the
reparation
subcommittee
focused
on
preserving
stabilizing
and
increasing
home
ownership,
which
builds
integra
generational
equity
amongst
black
african
american
residents.
A
housing
program
was
prioritized
as
the
first
program
to
be
funded
by
the
local
reparations
fund.
L
Emergent
assistance
benefit,
provides
funds
to
funds
to
down
payment
mortgage
principles,
interest
and
or
late
penalties
for
real
property
located
in
the
city
of
evanston
eligible
individuals
may
receive
up
to
25
000
and
up
to
two
individuals
can
pull
their
funding
together
for
up
to
fifty
thousand
dollars.
The
program,
as
stated,
is
budgeted
for
four
hundred
thousand.
Initially,
there
are
eligible
requirements
to
be
eligible
for
these
for
benefit
program,
benefits
and
they're,
broken
into
three
categories,
the
first
being
an
ancestor
and
I'm
going
to
be
first
defined.
L
How
we
define
african-american
black
for
our
programming
purposes.
African-American
black
is
defined
as
having
origins
in
any
of
the
black
racial
or
ethnic
groups
of
africa,
so
at
for
ancestor,
african-american
or
black
resident
of
the
city
between
1919
1969
may
have
children,
grandchildren,
great-grandchildren
and
or
other
issues
defined
under
direct
descendant.
L
program
implementation,
we're
looking
to
work
with
the
newly
formed
reparations
committee
to
have
this
program
up
and
running
this
mid-summer
for
the
application
that
will
be
sent
out
for
the
public
release.
The
initial
application
will
be
accepted
and
reviewed
and
funded
in
the
following
order:
applicants
applying
as
an
ancestor
applicants
applying
as
a
direct
descendant,
then
applicants
that
do
not
qualify
as
either
an
ancestor
or
a
direct
student,
but
have
experienced
housing
discrimination
due
to
policies,
city
policies
and
practice
after
1969..
L
A
Thank
you
for
that
quick
beef
on
the
on
the
program
we're
now
I'm
now
going
to
open
it
and
we'll
start
with
aldermere
simmons.
AM
Thank
you,
mayor
haggerty,
and
thank
you
kimberly.
I
don't
want
to
take
another
step
forward
in
this
process
without
thanking
our
incredible
staff
led
by
our
deputy
city
manager,
kimberly
richardson,
our
staff
has
included
tashik
as
well
as
nick
cummings
and
I'm
sure
many
other
staff
members
that
have
weighed
in
on
this.
I
also
want
to
be
sure
to
thank
the
residents
that
have
participated
in
the
process
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
AM
Your
input
and
your
feedback
has
crafted
this
initial
guideline.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
city
council,
those
members
that
accepted
meetings
to
give
your
feedback
to
the
guidelines.
Your
information
and
your
feedback
has
made
it
a
more
exceptional
initial
first
step
and
your
feedback
has
been
included.
AM
AM
I
don't
want
to
dismiss
and
not
show
appreciation
for
the
dozens
of
meetings
that
we've
had
and
the
many
community
members
stakeholders,
allies
partners,
both
here
in
town
and
nationally,
that
have
supported
and
and
mentored
and
provided
resources
and
new
partnerships
and
relationships
for
us
to
develop
a
program
acknowledging.
It
is
a
first
step.
It's
the
first
tangible
step.
It
is
alone
not
enough.
AM
It
is
not
full
repair
alone
in
this
in
this
one
initiative,
but
we-
and
we
all
know
that
the
road
to
repair
and
justice
in
the
black
community
is
going
to
be
a
generation
of
work.
It's
going
to
be
many
programs
and
initiatives
and
more
funding,
and
so
what
I'm
excited
about
is
the
new
engagement,
the
new
interest,
in
what
we're
doing
the
new
support.
AM
All
I
heard
today
was
support
of
reparations
and
I'm
excited
to
know
that
there
will
be
more
voices
to
come
to
the
process
and
participate
in
the
committee
meetings
and
speak
to
your
aldermen,
so
that
your
voice
can
be
heard
and
included
in
guidelines
going
forward
beyond
media,
because
the
the
the
work
is
not
done
in
the
media.
So
I
just
want
to
start
with
opening.
Thank
you
to
everyone.
That's
worked
so
hard.
We
have
to
thank
narc.
Narc
has
been
our
our
lead
and
our
guide.
AM
The
organization
has
provided
incredible
amount
of
resources
and
one
I
should
mention,
because
we
all
know
that
we
did
have
a
legal
challenge,
a
a
letter
that
was
issued
by
a
conservative
funded
situation
that
is
challenging
our
reparations,
and
I'm
really
proud
that,
through
our
relationship
with
narc,
that
the
the
african-american
redress
network,
along
with
columbia,
lost
law
school-
and
I
want
to
get
these
names
right-
I
don't
want
to
misstate
the
organizations.
AM
So
it's
actually
the
thurgood
marshall
civil
rights
center
at
howard,
university,
the
african-american
redress
network
and
the
institute
for
the
study
of
human
rights
have
partnered
together,
along
with
their
international,
high-capacity
law
firms
to
provide
pro
bono
legal
defense
to
us
in
the
event
that
we
should
have
some
sort
of
a
situation
in
court.
Right
now.
AM
A
Thank
you
alderman
ruth
simmons.
There
was
the
legal
letter
as
you
as
you
refer
to.
It
was
in
the
newspapers
and
everything
else.
I
know
nick
cummings,
our
deputy
city
attorney,
has
been
working
closely
with
the
reparations
committee
and
others
to
crack
craft
a
program
that
is
legally
viable
and
defensible.
A
Nick,
are
you
on
the
call
this
evening
and
if
so,
can
you
just
share
your
perspective?
I
presume
you've
read
that
letter
and
I
know
several
aldermen
and
others
have
just
received
questions
wanting
to
make
sure
that
you
know
our
legal
counsel
and
other
councils
that
are
advising
us
have
had
an
opportunity
to
to
look
at
that.
Z
Yes,
good
evening,
mayor
members
of
city
council,
clerk,
reed
city
manager
store
lee.
I
have
had
an
opportunity
to
review
the
letter.
I
mean
it
is
not.
It
doesn't
come
as
a
surprise
and
it's
the
reason
why
I've
advised
the
subcommittee
the
way
that
I
have
in
order
that
he
can
try
and
we
can
try
and
tailor
something
that
actually
would
withstand
constitution.
Constitutional
scrutiny.
BW
Okay
and
we've
also
forwarded
the
letter
from
howard
to
all
of
you,.
A
D
Thanks,
you
know,
for
years
I've
made
a
policy
to
try
to
not
speaking
after
try
to
not
speak
after
dr
robert
neighbors,
because
I
feel
like
I
can
never
match
his
eloquence,
but
in
this
case
I'm
grateful
to
be
speaking
after
him
and
also
after
all,
of
the
other
public
speakers
we've
heard
from
tonight,
and
that's
because
much
of
what
needs
to
be
said
has
been
raised
for
consideration.
D
There
are
so
many
considerations
and
things
that
need
to
be
taken
into
account,
and
this
is
going
to
be
a
a
very
long
and
challenging
process.
But
sometimes
you
have
to
take
a
stand
and
evanston
doesn't
shy
away
from
doing
the
right
thing.
We
took
a
leading
position
on
sanctuary
cities
where
lead
plaintiff.
In
a
case
it
was
taken
to
the
appellate
court
in
that
regard,
and
we
prevailed
in
that.
D
We
took
a
leading
position
on
assault
weapons
bans
and
I
think
that
this
is
something
that
we
definitely
need
to
continue
with
and
take
a
lead
take
a
leading
position
on.
It
is
not
being
rushed.
Alderman
simmons
talked
about
this,
but
we've
listened
and
heard
those
who
voice
concerns.
But
I
don't
think
that
those
voices
warrant
us
taking
a
step
back.
D
Many
people
have
worked
really
hard
on
this.
I'm
not
saying
that
it's
a
great
first
step,
but
I'm
saying
it's
a
step
and
it's
a
step
that
we
absolutely
have
to
take.
This
is
a
piece
of
a
much
broader
program
and
it
addresses
one
of
many
documented
harms.
Our
city
attorney
has
spent
countless
hours
working
on
this.
Others
have
spent
countless
hours
researching
these
issues,
researching
the
history
and
I
fully
support
it.
D
I
fully
support
the
hard
work
of
those
who
brought
this
to
us
for
consideration
ottoman
simmons,
I'm
so
grateful
for
your
work
and
efforts.
Alderman
braithwaite,
nolan
rainey
your
time
on
the
committee
city
attorney
nick
cummings
same
for
you.
We've
had
a
number
of
conversations
about
these
things
and
about
my
concerns
from
the
legal
perspective.
D
D
A
Thank
you,
alderman.
We
have
alderman
fisk
and
then
aldermen
win.
V
V
I
think
your
work
on
the
committee,
along
with
aldermen
simmons,
has
been
extraordinary
as
well.
You've
had
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
issues
to
look
at,
and
I
think
that
you've
taken
your
jobs
really
seriously
and
listen
to
the
community,
and
I
think
that's
that's
obviously
what's
needed
here.
We
have
a
long
history
of
being
at
the
forefront
of
difficult
issues.
We've
never
shied
away
from
them.
V
This
is
the
one
that
I
think
I
personally
am
the
most
proud
of,
and
I
don't
really
have
a
right
to
say
that
I'm
on
the
council,
I'm
an
observer,
not
on
the
committee,
but
this
is
so
long
overdue.
I'm
just
absolutely
in
awe
of
of
you
and
really
appreciate
that
you
have
brought
the
rest
of
us
and
given
us
the
opportunity
to
support
you
in
it,
because
it's
incredibly
important
for
our
community.
This
is
a
you
know.
V
V
It's
time
for
us
to
move
forward
and
as
the
program
develops
over
the
years,
we'll
all
enjoy
watching
it,
we'll
all
enjoy
all
the
benefits
that
it
brings
to
our
community
again,
I'm
just
so
thankful
to
all
of
you,
so
good
job.
E
Yes,
I
do
want
to
say
that,
yes,
I
was
on
that
council
in
2002
that
listened
and
learned
from
alderman
jean-baptiste
about
reparations.
It
was
an
idea
that
I
think
most
of
us
did
not
know
anything
about
compared
to
today
and
and
did
not
know
how
we
would
proceed
forward,
but
I
was
really.
I
was
very
happy
that
we
cast
that
vote
at
the
time.
I'm
sorry
that
it
has
taken
18
years
to
be
here
today,
so
this
is
not
rushed.
E
There
has
been
a
national
conversation
about
this
part
of
the
reason
why
all
of
these
programs
are
challenging
is
because
it
is
such
difficult
work
in
terms
of
understanding
how
to
how
we
can
possibly
redress
the
harms
that
have
been
discussed
by
so
many
of
the
speakers.
E
So
I
do
want
to
say
first
thank
you
to
aldman
rue
simmons.
I
I
am
also
so
in
awe
of
you,
for
you
have
pushed
us
forward,
but
not
only
did
you
push
us
forward,
but
you
made
us
believe
we
could
do
it,
and
that
was
something
that
was
really
essential
in
all
of
this.
I
also
want
to
thank
alderman
rainey
and
aldrin
braithwaite
and
all
of
the
staff
who
have
worked
so
hard
on
this.
E
This
is
this
is
really
difficult,
challenging
work,
but
but
we
are
here
now-
and
I
am
in
complete
support
of
this
approach-
and
I
I
do
want
to
say
that
I'm
going
to
take
some
words
from
dr
carruthers,
who
stated
that
it's
the
first
step,
that's
really
long
overdue,
but-
and
these
are
my
words,
but
I
think
this
step
is
going
to
pull
all
of
america
forward
and
it's
really
critical
that
we
take
that
first
step.
So
I
am
humbly
going
to
vote
yes
again.
A
Thank
you,
alderman
wynn,
we're
going
to
go
with
alderman
revell,
then
alderman
rainey.
BY
BY
As
many
people
tonight
have
said,
this
is
tonight's
vote
is
just
one
step,
but
it's
a
one
step
in
the
right
direction
and
I
one
thing
that
hasn't
been
emphasized
enough,
I
think,
is
that
the
restorative
housing
program
directly
addresses
the
harm
that
was
caused
by
decades
of
discriminatory
practices
here
in
evanston.
The
redlining
that
made
mortgages
so
hard
to
get
and
the
actions
that
were
taken
to
limit
the
housing
choices
and
the
opportunities
for
our
black
residents
but
tonight's
void
is
vote,
is
not
the
end
of
the
story
at
all.
BY
But
this
reparations
committee
has
done
the
hard
work
listening
to
the
community,
consulting
with
reparations
experts
from
around
the
country,
examining
evanston's,
discriminatory
history
and
developing
a
program
of
repair
that
responds
to
that
history.
So
now
now
it's
our
job,
the
full
city
council.
It's
our
turn
to
do
our
part
and
vote
and
to
authorize
the
implementation
of
evanston's
reparations,
restorative
housing
program
and
the
program
budget,
and
I'm
really
delighted
to
be
able
to
join
my
colleagues
in
giving
my
support
tonight.
BW
Well,
one
of
the
one
of
the
most
brilliant
things
about
alderman
simmons
is
not
only
did
she
bring
us
all
along,
but
she
has
reached
out
to
the
nation
and
she's
brought
them
along
the
endorsement.
BW
When,
when
I
hear
people
locally
saying
that
this
is
not
reparations,
yet
the
national
leaders
of
reparation
across
this
country
are
saying:
oh
yes,
it
is,
and
they
are
endorsing
it
and
in
fact
supporting
it
a
hundred
percent.
I
I
have
to
go
with
them
and
she
has.
BW
The
same
day
we
were
being
interviewed
by
nikki
the
the
most
important
japanese
business
press,
reuters
was
in
town
with
the
photographer
and
and
the
reporter
I
mean
people
all
over.
The
world
have
been
drawn
to
this
city
because
of
her
efforts,
literally
because
of
her
efforts
going
to
national
league
of
cities
going
to
different
universities
speaking
receiving
awards.
BW
That
is
why
we
are
where
we
are
today,
and
so
really
that's
that's.
Why
we're
here
and
that's
why
we
need
to
support
this.
There
is
nothing
that
says
the
next
five
million
dollars
we
get
in
cannabis.
Tax
will
not
be
afforded
to
housing
repair.
There's
nothing
that
says
that
we
just
had
to
take
this
first
step
quickly,
so
that
people
know
that
we're
doing
a
reparations
program.
We're
we're
just
the
first
tiny
baby
step,
and
so,
let's
move
forward,
we're
very
excited
tonight.
You
have
no
idea
how
important
this
vote
is.
A
Thank
you,
alderman
ray
any
other
discussion,
alderman
alderwoman
fleming.
Y
Oh
yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
all
the
people
that
came
out.
I
appreciate
carlos
sutton,
pointing
out
that
we
had
more
people
tonight
than
we
usually
do
so
I
appreciate
people
coming.
Hopefully
they
will
continue
to
come
because
we
vote
on
important
stuff
all
the
time.
So,
as
probably
people
are
not
surprised,
I'm
going
to
take
a
different
position
here,
even
as
a
black
woman.
Y
I
know
that
pastor,
neighbors
and
others
not
on
this
car
necessarily
have
talked
about
their
frustration.
When
black
people
disagree
in
public-
and
you
know,
I
think
black
people
have
the
right
to
disagree
in
public.
We
are
multi-faceted
people
like
all
others,
and
so
I
do
have
a
different
opinion
tonight.
I
did
write
it
down
to
try
to
make
sure
I'm
concise.
Y
So
I
would
just
say:
I'm
gonna
read
my
statement.
I
want
to
be
really
clear.
As
a
black
woman,
I
am
100
in
support
of
reparations,
as
all
people
who
spoke
tonight-
and
I
think
you
know
so
many
more
we
haven't
heard
from
I
come
from
three
different
black
family
legacies
here
in
evanston
who
have
all
suffered
here
in
evanston
and
I'm
sure
in
abbotvil
and
atlanta,
where
they
came
from
before
here.
Y
Y
Although
we
don't
have
other
municipal
reparations
to
draw
from
for
our
solution
is
offered,
we
do
have
other
national
and
international
policies
to
show
reparations
being
handled
in
a
different
way.
So
I
think
the
concern
that
I
have.
Y
I
don't
share
this
with
everyone,
but
I've
heard
from
a
lot
of
people
who
we
did
not
hear
from
tonight
is
that,
rather
than
this
reparations
dictating
to
black
people,
what
they
need
and
how
they
will
receive
it,
we
need
to
listen
more
to
the
people,
so
this
isn't
change
that
we
might
think
it's
going
to
be.
I
do
have
concerns
in
the
as
a
government
that
we
are
projecting
something
into
the
nation
as
a
bright
light.
Y
It
might
be
very
dim
for
other
people,
as
we
heard
mr
berger
talk
about
in
his
legacy.
I
think
in
mississippi
there's
no
way
that
his
family,
that
he
would
encourage
his
family,
who
have
really
received
direct
racial
harm
and
lynching,
and
things
to
accept
this.
If
his
city
of
mississippi
or
his
state
of
mississippi
rather
wanted
to
bring
forth
a
housing
policy
and
say
it
was
reparations
for
all
the
terror.
Y
I
think
this
being
a
national
model
concerns
me
a
bit
because
of
the
limitations,
even
if
it's
the
first
400
000,
because
people
don't
always
come
back
to
see
what
happens
at
the
end,
so
as
reparations
in
name.
My
concern,
as
well
as
other
people,
I've
heard
from,
is
that
there
is
no
autonomy
for
the
community
that
was
harmed
instead
of
cash
payments
or
other
options
that
respect
the
humanity
and
self-determination
of
black
people
and
allow
them
to
determine
how
best
to
repair
themselves.
Y
Y
As
we
know
on
this
diet,
people
don't
usually
pay
attention
until
things
are
coming
to
a
vote,
and
so
that
people
did
not
hear
about
this
until
some
people
did
not
hear
about
this
proposal
until
last
week
and
it's
up
tonight
for
action
and
not
introduction
as
many
other
things
community
feels
like
they're
being
harmed
and
not
being
listened
to,
as
we
saw
tonight
with
only
the
one
minute
of
public
comment
and
the
mayor
having
to
cut
lots
of
people
off.
Y
Although
we're
the
first
municipality
to
attempt
reparative
actions,
we
have
to
use
sorry
historical
practices
provide
a
framework
for
comparative
compensation.
Y
As
admiration
mentioned,
there
are
professors
and
experts
who
have
been
consulted,
but
they
don't
even
all
agree,
since
this
is
the
first
time
and
in
no
instance,
looking
at
those
historical
practices
have
people
been
denied
cash
payments
or
the
opportunity
to
decide
how
the
repair
will
be
managed.
This
practice
alone
can
be
based
in
what
some
might
call
white
paternalistic
narratives,
where
black
people
aren't
able
to
manage
their
own
money.
Y
Second,
the
proposal
does
feel
rushed
based
on
the
election
season.
That's
ahead
of
us.
The
passage
for
this
framework
is
not
being
dictated
by
people.
Rushing
us,
it's
not
being
dictated
by
law
and
it's
not
being
dictated
in
terms
of
how
we
need
to
use
this
money.
Y
People
have
waited
hundred
years
reparations
so
waiting
just
another
couple
weeks
or
another
month,
even
for
a
new
committee
to
sit
down
and
fill
in
the
gaps
that
people
have
brought
up
does
not
harm
us
and
then
my
other
concern
is
that,
while
we're
telling
people
and
what
we
say-
and
we
know
we
hope,
96
million
more
dollars
are
going
to
come
in,
and
this
is
only
one
plan
I
think,
without
having
a
long-term
framework
in
place.
Y
Instead
of
trust,
I
think
without
a
feasibility
study
starting
at
25
000,
though
I
know
many
people
would
love
to
have
it,
including
people
in
my
family,
I'm
concerned
with
setting
up
the
bar
that
high,
so
each
next
program,
we
would
have
to
justify
where
we're
not
at
twenty
five
thousand
dollars,
and
I
think
once
we
get
to
ten
million
dollars
just
doing
the
math.
That
leaves
us
just
under
500
people
to
be
able
to
repair.
Y
I
think
you
know
hearing
voices
and
we
again,
we
all
know
that
everyone
doesn't
come
to
council,
I'm
concerned
about
mistrust
that
we're
amplifying
by
giving
national
news
coverage
and
press
pieces
people
talking
about
this
being
historic
and
precedent,
setting
again
without
really
taking
the
time
to
slow
down,
to
make
sure
everyone
who
wants
to
have
input
can
do
so
past
the
one
minute
we
have
tonight.
Y
I
think.
Lastly,
I
would
just
say
that,
as
I
mentioned
before,
my
family,
like
many
other
black
families
which
make
us
special,
have
been
here
since
the
early
1900s,
my
great-grandfather
was
able
to
buy
a
quarter
block
of
a
street,
which
was
a
lot
obvious
in
that
time,
so
he
did
overcome
redlining
and
other
discriminatory
practices.
We
hear
about
people
like
bennett
and
others
who
talk
about
their
homes
being
moved
across
the
canal,
so
no
one
is
debating
that
harm
was
done
in
housing.
Y
I
think
the
question
is
because
the
harm
was
done
in
housing.
Does
the
repair
possibly
need
to
go
to
banks
or
mortgage
lenders?
Can
the
repair
not
go
to
people
who
face
the
harm?
I
think
someone
mentioned
and
I
use
the
example
of
you
know
here
in
city
council.
We
face
lots
of
lawsuits.
Y
The
lawyers
and
judges
tell
us
what
to
pay
and
we
pay
people.
We
don't
tell
the
people
we're
paying
how
to
use
their
funds.
We
respect
them
to
be
able
to
do
that.
So
I
suggest
that
we
start
prioritizing
people
we've
heard
here,
people
who
we
haven't
heard
here.
I
mean
we've
spent
10
years.
Talking
about
harley
clark,
no
one
wants
to
do
that
again.
No
one
thinks
that
was
good
public
policy,
but
to
say
that,
because
this
has
been
talked
about
for
two
years,
a
committee
met
for
one
year
during
the
pandemic.
Y
That
there's
been
enough
time,
I
think,
is
not
again
necessarily
gaining
the
trust
that
the
folks
were
trying
to
repair.
So
what
I
would
suggest
is
that
we
take
this
plan
back
to
the
community
that
we
allow
people
to
have
input,
whether
it's
a
zoom
call
or
whatever
it
might
be-
that
we
really
look
at
some
real
community
engagement
efforts
best.
We
can
do
in
this
pandemic.
I
think
that
we
should
reflect
reparation
symbolizes
in
terms
of
healing.
Y
I
think
we
can
be
creative
and
careful
and
intentional,
with
this
work
I
think
we
can
think
bigger,
because
the
nation's
eyes
are
on
us.
I
think
we
can
give
the
nation
and
our
community
something
that
we
respect
and
we
admire,
and
we
want
them
to
replicate,
and
I
think
more
so
we
really
have
to
be
worried
about
what
this
does
to
our
community.
In
terms
of
you
know,
further
trust
we
all.
We
all
know
this
is
how
evanston
operates
groups
pop
up
people
come.
They
argue.
They
don't
like
what
we're
doing.
Y
I'm
not
naive
to
think
that
everyone's
going
to
like
this,
but
I
do
think
that
giving
people
more
time
to
give
input,
even
if
we
come
back
with
the
same
proposal
bridge,
is
a
gap
that
I'm
seeing
develop
in
our
community.
So
it
is
with
my
own
personal
conviction
and
obligation
to
folks
who
came
before
me
and
a
commitment
to
good
government
that
I
unfortunately
gonna
vote
against
this
proposal,
so
I
do
believe
in
reparations.
I
just
think
we
can
do
better
with
our
first
proposal
or
first
initiative.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
alderweireld
alderwoman,
fleming,
alderman
suffering.
BZ
Thank
you
and
all
gonna
resigns,
it's
crazy
that
you
and
sicily,
and
I
all
got
elected
together
and
in
the
before
times
we
sat
next
to
each
other
and
we
had
a
lot
of
conversations,
and
I
remember
the
conversation
we
had
when
you
had
called
me
to
tell
me
that
you
decided
not
to
run
again
and
we
reflected
on
the
past
four
years.
So
I
just
want
to
start
with.
BZ
Echoing,
what's
been
said,
talking
about
your
your
vision
and
your
work
and
how
much
that's
appreciated,
and
I
also
want
to
say
that
I
hear
and
appreciate
what
alden
fung
just
said
and
that's
her
lived
experience
in
evanston.
You
have
your
lived
experience.
I
have
mine,
we
all
grew
up
around
the
same
time
in
the
same
town,
very
different,
very
different
ways,
very
similar
ways
too.
So
on
on
this,
you
know,
I
think
it's
not
even
and
you've
talked
about
this.
This
isn't
the
finish
line.
BZ
This
isn't
even
really
the
starting
line
right,
but
the
the
real
challenge
is
going
to
be
one,
overcoming
the
legal
challenge
that
we
were
going
to
see,
no
matter
what
we
knew
that
that's
part
of
doing
old,
progressive
things
that
there
are
people
not
from
here
we're
going
to
challenge
them,
we're
looking
to
the
national
movement
and
the
place
that
evanson
is
going
to
take
and
what
a
great
thing
this
is
for
the
city
of
evanston
and
that's
that's
fantastic.
BZ
But
the
real
measure
of
the
success
of
this
program
is
how
black
evanstonians
feel
about
it
and
and
not
just
collectively,
because
we've
talked
about
how
they're
there
are.
People
are
individuals,
but
the
the
people
who
are
saying
that
this
isn't
adequate
for
them.
How
do
we
bring
them
in
for
the
next
96
of
what
we
committed
so
far,
and
how
do
we
grow
beyond
that?
I
know
you're
committed
to
that.
I'm
committed
to
that
as
well.
BZ
I
think
it's
all
been
flowing's
point:
it's
not
appropriate
to
diminish
the
concerns
that
are
brought
by
people
by
saying
that
it's
a
small
group
of
people,
the
fact
that
they
have
the
concerns,
and
particularly
for
white
evanstonians
and
white
elected
officials-
it's
not
our
place
at
all
to
say
that
any
concerns
that
are
being
expressed
are
inappropriate.
So
I
hope
that,
as
we
move
forward,
we'll
have
a
more
inclusive
process.
It's
something
that
we're
working
at
at
all
levels
of
this
government.
BZ
That's
something
that
we
always
talk
about
is
making
sure
that
people
here
are
feel
heard
and
on
this
particular
issue,
it's
really
important
that
people
are
hurt,
and
I
know
you're
committed
to
that
as
well.
I
think
that
you
know
the
we
can
always
be
more
transparent
and
inclusive,
but
I
also
think
no
matter
how
many
meetings
there
are.
BZ
People
will
always
say
that
there
were
not
enough
meetings
that
they
didn't
happen
at
a
time
or
place
it
was
gonna
be
so
we
need
to
work
to
overcome
that
in
all
aspects
of
government,
particularly
with
this,
I
think
that
the
open
meetings
act,
violation
was
inadvertent.
I
don't
think
that
it
was
malicious.
I
think
we
should
all
see
the
best
intentions
going
forward.
There's
nobody
who
loves
evidence
and
who's
not
invested
in
the
success
of
this
program.
So
that's
something
that
we
need
to
work
on.
We
need
to
work
on
funding
this
more
fully.
BZ
You
know,
as
alden
fleming
said,
and
as
is
brought
up,
10
million
dollars
will
not
be
enough.
What
are
we
gonna
do
for
the
next
part
of
that?
What
are
we
gonna
do
for
the
next
phase.
We
told
people
that
this
is
just
the
first
part,
and
now
we
need
to
come
up
with
the
next
parts
and
we
need
to
hear
from
people
what
they
want.
Those
next
parts
to
be
because,
as
was
said,
fair
really
needs
to
be
tailored
and
defined
by
the
person
being
repaired.
So
I'm
gonna
vote.
BZ
BZ
A
Have
to
come.
Thank
you,
alderman
suffering.
Let's
see
alderman
braithwaite,
I
think
everybody's
spoken,
so
you
will
wrap
it
with
you.
BX
BX
We
have
really
learned,
and
some
may
even
say
we
have
been
forced
to
work
together,
particularly
on
a
very
historic
vote
like
this
history
will
be
noted
tonight
everyone's
position,
and
I
realize
that
we
are
all
voted
by
our
residents
in
the
ward.
But
we
all
know
through
working
together.
We
make
decisions
that
have
us
impact.
BX
City-Wide
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
all
very
much-
I
also
want
to
quickly
thank
our
staff.
I
think
it's
worth
repeating
kimberly
richardson
nick
cummings
in
our
legal
department
to
seek
her
all
under
the
leadership
of
erica
storley.
BX
BX
And
finally,
I
want
to
thank
alderman
simmons,
who
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
two
years
prior
to
joining
city
council
four
years
representing
the
second
and
fifth
ward,
very
strong
for
your
bold
leadership,
your
consistent
dedication,
not
only
to
your
ward
black
community
as
well
as
city-wide
with
your
other
initiatives.
You
are
an
amazing
woman
and
I
also
stand
in
off
of
your
achievement.
BX
BX
And
then
I
want
to
also
just
remind
everyone,
as
we
are
getting
ready
to
take
this
bold
historic
step.
This
vote
is
again:
it
symbolizes
our
first
step,
six
percent
of
10
million
dollars.
BX
Some
may
ask
what
does
the
next
step
look
like
and
I'm
proud
to
share
that
in
addition
to
just
one
dispensary
contributing
towards
10
million
dollars,
we
can
anticipate
with
the
state
that
we
will
add
at
least
three
additional
dispensaries
to
our
city
of
evanston.
That
will
increase
the
velocity
of
funding.
BX
BX
It
is
clear,
through
our
discussions
for
those
that
have
attended
our
town
halls
as
well
as
our
subcommittee.
There
are
many
people
judge,
lionel
john
baptiste,
there's
dino
robinson
and
also
pastor
neighbors.
We
are
building
out
a
community
group
based
on
our
historic
black
organizations
that
will
help
to
harness,
listen
and
respond
to
the
many
allies,
as
well
as
members
of
our
black
community
that
are
going
to
bring
forward
other
ideas
for
repairs
which
will
include
cash
payments.
BX
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
the
members
of
our
community
who
have
stood
strong
again,
our
city
council,
who
will
vote-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
again-
alvin
simmons,
for
your
leadership
on
this
whole
initiative.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
oldman
braithwaite.
I
think
we
are
ready
to.
I
guess
we're
not
ready
to
take
a
vote.
Alderman
fleming,
I
will.
Y
Y
So
I
I
know
that
this
whole
narrative
is
flying
around
that
somehow
or
another
I'm
trying
to
single-handedly
change
the
form
of
government
and
anyone
who
knows
anything
about
that
knows
that
that's
a
referendum
vote
for
the
citizens,
so
whoever
was
on
the
call
with
naacp
that
I
was
not
part
of
who
participated
in
that
was
their
own
individual
person.
If
I
could
control
the
world
like
like,
I
wish
I
could.
I
would
do
that
without
having
to
spend
six
nights
on
monday
at
the
computer.
Y
So
I
appreciate
your
concern
about
who
I
support.
I
appreciate
the
fear
that
draws
up
for
you,
but
the
citizens
of
evanston
will
be
the
ones
to
decide
if
there's
any
change
of
government,
not
sicily,
forming.
A
All
right,
so
I
think
we
are
ready
to
take
a
vote
now
and
what
I'd
like
to
do,
because
we've
had
a
long
discussion
about
this
is
alderman
rue
simmons.
It
was
moved
by
you
and
seconded,
but
before
clerk
reed
takes
the
vote.
Could
you
just
reread
sp3.
AT
AM
Sp3
adoption
of
resolution
37r27
authorizing
the
implementation
of
the
evanston
local
reparation
restorative
housing
programs
and
program
budget.
The
reparation
subcommittee
recommends
city
council,
adopt
resolution,
37
r21
to
authorize
the
implementation
of
the
local
reparation
restorative
housing
program
and
the
initial
program
budget
of
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
funding
will
be
provided
by
the
local
reparation
fund.
I
move
approval.
BX
A
All
right,
city
clerk,
could
you
please
take
the
role
on
this
historic
vote
tonight.
E
A
So,
on
a
eight
to
one
vote,
the
evanston
city
council
approved
adoption
of
resolution
37-r-27
authorizing
the
implementation
of
the
evanston
local
reparations,
restored,
housing
program
and
program
budget.
Again
this
is
the
first
four
percent
of
the
ten
of
the
ten
million.
It
is
an
important
but
a
small
first
step,
and
I
think
the
discussion
this
evening
and
the
voices
on
all
the
different
sides
of
this
issue
was
a
valuable
one.
A
There's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done,
and
my
expectation
is
the
reparations
midi-
will
continue
to
be
a
a
intent
committee
and
continue
to
get
feed
feedback
and
input
from
all
evanstonians
that
want
to
be
involved
in
this
process.
So
thank
thank
you.
Everyone
for
all
the
hard
work
to
get
us
to
this
point,
we're
now
going
to
move
on
to
the
consent
agenda.
This
evening
we
did
have
administration
and
public
works
and
planning
and
development
committee
meetings
prior
to
the
council
meeting
tonight.
AM
X
X
A
A
O
Z
And
and
mayor
at
the
apw
meeting
there
was
some
questions
that
came
up
about
a19
that
I
I
told
the
committee.
I
would
address
that
council.
A
A
BW
It's
for
introduction
and
action,
so
we
need
to
suspend
the
rules.
A
A
So
right
now
we
have
in
order
a15
item
a15
item
a19
p,
as
in
planning
a
development
2
and
then
p5.
A
Okay,
not
hearing
anything
else,
alderman
suffered
and
could
you
move
that
consent
agenda
lest
those
items
up
for
a
vote.
A
No,
I
I
was
only
I
so
don't
no
worries
about
that.
Tom.
A
AA
C
A
BZ
A15,
I
move
approval
of
item
number
a15,
which
is
an
adoption
of
resolution.
38

in
support
of
the
passage
of
the
clean
energy
jobs
act
by
the
legislature

recommend

adopt
resolution

in
support
of

BZ
A
F
AM
Oh,

you
sorry
about
the
delay
I
wanted
to.
Well.

it
first.

And
I
removed
this

one,
because
I
wanted
to
thank
the
citizens
greener
evanston
for
all
that
you
do.
You
do
so
much
for
us
and
I've
personally
been
educated
by
cge,
but
this
initiative
actually
came
recently
under
the
leadership
of
citizens,
greener,
evanston
and
specifically
jerry
hurst,
joel
freeman,
lauren,
marquez,
viso
and
rachel
rosner,
and
we
just
want
to
thank
you
for
all
that
you
do
to
keep
our
natural
environment
and
our
natural
assets
rich
and
vibrant
and

healthy.
AM
I
was
asked
to
read
the
the
resolution
and
I
am
going
to
do
that.
Let
me
see
what
what
page
it's
on
one.
Second.
AM
All
right
resolution
38r21,
whereas
in
2016
the
state
of
illinois,
passed
a
future
energy
jobs
act,
allowing
the
creation
of
an
investment
into
an
equitable
and
just
transition
for
a
clean
and
renewable
energy
future
and
whereas,
in
2018,
the
city
of
evanston
passed
its
climate
action
and
resilience
plan.
Carp
thanks
to
mayor
hagerty
and
so
many
residents
in
the
committee,
which
called
for
100
renewable
energy
by
2030
in
carbon
neutrality
by
2050
and
whereas,
in
september,
2020.
AM
Many
of
the
same
goals
enumerated
in
evanston's
climate
action
and
resilience
plan
to
bring
these
benefits
to
the
entire
state
and
whereas
passage
of
the
clean
energy
jobs
act,
will
advance
the
efforts
of
the
city
of
evanston
to
achieve
the
goals
we
set
out
in
passing.
Our
own
climate
action
and
resilience
plan
be
resolved.

double
clutch:
brewing
company
llc,
doing
business
at
bella
culture
brewing
company,

ashland
avenue.
This
is
for
introduction
and
action.
C

Good
evening
mayor
member
city
council,
clerk
reed,
nicholas
cummings,
deputy
city
attorney,
a19,
came
up
at
the
apw
committee
meeting
regarding
the
the
nature
of
this
license.
It
is
a
my
understanding.
Is
that
a
it
is
a
conditional
license
under
3-4-3-b
of
the
city
code
for
the
liquor
license,
which
allows
a
license
to
be
issued
if
they
meet
all
the
other
criteria,
except
for
the
fingerprint
portion
and
as
long
as
one
once
they
get
fingerprint
portion.
If
they
don't
pass
that
they
cannot
get
an
annual
license.
A
And
nick,
my
understanding
from
the
liquor
board
meeting
is
that
the
state
has
suspended
right
now
doing
fingerprinting
because
of
the
pandemic,
and
that's
why
it's
a
conditional
license.
Otherwise
they
would
have
been
fingerprinted
had
the
background
checks
done
and
they
would
have
a
traditional
license.
Correct.
That's
correct
all
right.
A
Got
it?
Thank
you,
thank
you
and
then
this
is
on
the
agenda.
I
believe
for
introduction
and
action
this
evening.
Okay,
seeing
no
further
discussion
on
this
item.
City
clerk,
could
you
please
take
the
role
on
19.
F
A
All
right,
can
you
take
the
role
on
that
motion
to
suspend
rules,
allow
for
action
and
introduction
in
action.
AW
F
C
X
A
All
right,
so
in
the
9-0
vote,
the
rule
has
been
suspended,
allowing
this
item
to
be
for
introduction
and
action.
It
was
moved
in
seconded
city.
Collector
would
take
the
role
on
the
item.
A19,
which
is
a
temporary
or
provisional
liquor
license
for
double
clutch.
X
A
We're
now
going
to
move
to
the
planning
and
development
committee.
Alderman
fisk
is
the
chair.
Could
you
please
move
p2
alderman.
V
Sure
it's
ordinance
28021
granting
a
special
use
permit
for
a
type
2
restaurant
ali.
The
level
eatery
at
955
howard
street
in
the
b2
business
district,
and
I
moved
to
suspend
the
rules
for
enter,
introduction
and
passage.
A
V
W
BR
C
A
All
right
so
now
I'm
a
little
confused.
Was
that
just
the
motion
to
suspend
and
then
now
the
actual.
A
All
right
so
now
can
you
move
the
hot
hole.
A
In
discussion,
seeing
seeing
no
hands
city
clerk,
can
you
please
take
the
role.
C
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you
clerk.
So,
on
a
9-0
vote,
the
evanston
city
council
passes
pd2
ordnance
28-0-21,
granting
a
special
use
permit
for
a
type
2
restaurant
ali's
halal
eatery
at
9,
55
howard
street,
in
the
b-2
business
district,
and
this
pass
for
introduction
in
action
this
evening,
alderman
fisk.
Could
you
please
move
p5.
V
To
permit
the
establishment
and
regulation
of
efficiency
homes
it's
on
for
action,
I
move
approval.
X
V
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
this.
I
wanted
to
thank
staff
for
their
memo,
explaining
about
how
complicated
how
complicated
noticing
would
be
for
this.
That's
that's
very
helpful.
It's
important
that
we
ask
questions,
especially
when
that
part
of
the
plan,
commission
trend
or
video
was
inaccessible.
I
don't
know
why
it
didn't
happen,
but
it
didn't
happen.
So
I'm
glad
we
took
the
time
to
take
a
look
at
this.
V
This
is
a
good
explanation
for
everyone
and,
as
I
said
at
the
beginning
of
this,
I
absolutely
support
efficient
efficiency
homes,
and
so
thank
you,
johanna
and
your
and
your
team.
A
I
thank
thank
you,
alderman
any
other
comments
or
questions
on
this
item.
All
right,
seeing
none
pd5
the
ordinance
on
efficiency
homes
was
moved
in
seconded
city
clerk.
Could
you
please
take
the
role.
C
A
All
right,
thank
you,
clerk
on
a
nine
to
zero
vote.
The
evanston
city
council
just
passed,
pd5
ordinance,
13-0-21
a
zoning
text
amendment
to
permit
the
establishment
and
regulation
of
efficiency
homes.
This
too
is
a
big
important
item
that
was
passed
unanimously
tonight,
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
at
the
city
and
other
supporters
and
advocates
for
this
for
all
of
your
work
over
the
last
many
months.
We're
now
going
to
move
to
to
call
all
the
wards,
so
we
will
start
with
alderman
fisk
tonight.
V
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Well,
I
feel
really
good
about
what
we
did
tonight
and
I'm
going
to
enjoy
smiling
about
that
for
a
while
and
again.
Thank
you.
Aldrin
resigns,
I'm
just
incredibly
proud
of
of
you
and
the
work
that
your
committee
has
done.
V
I'd
like
to
turn
our
attention
a
little
bit
to
training
for
our
boards
and
commissions.
I
I
I've
had,
I
think,
become
more
aware
this
week
that
maybe
we
need
to
put
a
little
bit
more
time
and
effort
into
into
training
some
of
our
boards
and
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
develop
a
program.
V
That
really
does
do
that,
not
just
when
people
come
on
the
boards,
but
also
maybe
during
the
year
as
a
little
reminder
of
how
our
boards
and
divisions
work,
I'm
absolutely
understanding
that
we're
all
working
from
home
and
it
creates
an
entirely
different
sort
of
environment
in
which
to
be
working.
But
it's
it's
very
important
that
our
boards
and
commissions,
I
think,
put
forth
a
professional
professional
response,
especially
in
those
meetings
where
residents
are
have
to
appear
and
ask
the
boards
for
support.
V
A
Thank
you,
alderman
fisk,
we're
going
to
move
now
to
the
second
ward,
ultimate
bracelet.
BX
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
as
well
as
all
of
our
residents,
who
came
out
to
speak
and
participated
in
all
the
steps
to
get
here.
To
this
point,
I
think,
even
with
some
of
the
confusion,
this
night
tonight's
vote
did
create
a
moment
of
clarity,
and
I
invite
you
all
back
to
our
meetings
and
looking
forward
to
embracing
you
into
the
new
structure
as
we
continue
to
move
forward,
there's
so
much
work,
that's
that's
ahead
of
us
and
the
only
way
we
can
do
that
is
truly
with
your
participation.
BX
So
I
again,
I
extend
a
thank
you
and
an
invitation
to
join
us
at
our
next.
What
will
now
be
our
reparations
committee
moving
forward
and
alderman
simmons,
I'm
just
gonna
share.
I
hope
that
you
take
a
moment
to
shed
some
light
on
the
most
recent
announcement
this
evening
and
speak
a
little
bit
about
that
partnership.
I
will.
BX
No,
I
think
that
honor
is
all
yours,
but
again
thank
you
to
members
of
our
city
council,
bold,
move
today,
all
of
you
that
supported
the
efforts.
I
cannot
thank
you
enough
and
thank
you
very
much
and
clerk
reed.
I
think
I
I
don't
think
we
acknowledge
the
clerk's
office
for
your
initial
work
and
moving
this
forward
working
closely
with
our
town
historian
b
mo
robinson,
a
lot
of
thank
yous
to
pass
around
good
night.
Thank
you,
alderman
braithwaite,.
E
Well,
I
I
will
add
to
that
dino
robinson
and
jenny
thompson
at
the
evanston
history
center
did
so
much
work
that
laid
the
groundwork
for
this,
that
the
city
can
document
the
the
harm
done
in
the
housing
area
and
once
again,
I
say
to
everyone,
take
time
to
read
the
document
they
produced.
I
really
think
it
should
be
part
of
the
curriculum
that
we
teach
our
of
eastern
school
children,
so
they
understand
the
true
history
of
our
city.
E
So,
but
I
I
do
want
to
say
I
I
am
very
proud
of
what
we
voted
on
tonight
and
again.
I
thank
the
committee
members
and
the
city
staff
for
that.
My
my
28
year
old
son,
who
lives
in
san
francisco
texted
me
a
screenshot
that
was
sent
to
him
within
a
minute
of
when
we
voted
of
it
was
sent
to
him
by
a
friend
of
his
another
eths
grad
from
the
washington
post
that
we
had
just
past
reparations.
E
So
it
was
the
vote
that
that's
being
heard
across
the
country
and-
and
I
we
have
the
proof
now
so
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
of
our
evanstonians
who
are
out
there-
you're,
never
you're,
never
really
not
an
evanstonian
and
they're
watching
us
tonight.
A
D
Thank
you
and
I,
like
everyone
else.
I
am
very
proud
of
the
work.
That's
been
done.
It's
one
thing
to
resolve
to
do
something.
It's
another
thing
to
actually
take
the
steps
and
affirmatively
move
forward
with
it
and,
as
I
think,
has
already
been
expressed,
there
is
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done,
but
you
can't
get
anything
done
if
you
don't
take
that
first
step.
D
So
thank
you
for
to
everyone
for
all
of
the
the
hard
work
effort
and
time
and
energy,
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
where
this
goes.
I
think
we
are
well
positioned
to
keep
this
moving
forward
and
do
and
continue
to
do
great
things.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
aldermen
elder
woman,
rue
simmons.
AM
AM
I'm
sorry
about
that
again,
thank
you
to
everyone
and
audrey
and
bradford.
Thank
you
for
not
letting
us
forget.
The
clerk's
role
was
actually
the
first
request
for
our
historic
policies
to
lead
us
in
the
direction.
So
thank
you
clerk,
reed
for
all
that
you
have
done
to
support
us
to
this
point
and
everybody's
right.
All
the
comments,
no
one
is
wrong.
The
pain
is
real.
It's
not
enough.
AM
AM
One
thing
that
autumn
and
braithwaite
was
mentioning
is
there
are
partners
near
and
far
that
are
satisfied
with
the
direction
and
the
leadership
of
this
city
council,
and
there
is
an
organization
that
reached
out
to
us
that
wanted
to
contribute
funding
for
a
pilot
of
cash
benefit,
unrestricted
cash
benefit
programming,
and
they
have
done
so
that
prop
that
program
has
actually
launched
today.
AM
BR
AM
So
it
is
an
organization
that
has
a
commitment
to
cash
benefit
programming
and
they
have
set
aside
a
small
fund
for
us
to
give
again
25
black
residents
that
qualify
under
our
regular
reparation
on
guidelines
300
a
month
on
restricted,
and
it
is
a
start.
This
is
different
than
our
good
neighbor
grant.
It's
totally
different.
It
is
not
our
program,
it's
their
program,
but
they
have
offered
it
this
extension
to
evans
and
residents
that
qualify
for
reparations.
So
I
wanted
to
add
that
and
then
also
bring
up.
There
was
talk
about.
AM
You
know
the
new
committee
and
a
new
process,
and
everyone
has
been
heard-
judge
lionelgen,
baptistas
introduced
some
time
ago.
What
is
a
very
engaged
process
or
deliberating
on
proposals
going
forward,
and
our
deputy
city
manager
has
a
great
model
similar
to
participatory
budgeting,
which
would
allow
for
stakeholders
specifically
to
engage
in
this
process
a
little
more
efficiently
than
we
did
over
the
last
two
years.
So
look
for
more
information
on
that.
AM
Once
you
get
your
new
reparation
committee
and
your
new
city
council
and
then
I
want
to
extend
heartfelt
condolences
and
love
to
the
families
of
demarcus
and
jose
francisco's
sanchez,
guerrero,
sending
love
and
condolences
to
the
family
and
to
our
entire,
our
entire
ward.
It
impacts
it
impacts
us
all.
So
thank
you
to
our
chief
cook
and
staff
for
all
that
you
have
done
to
expeditiously
work
to
solve
solve
these
these
crimes,
and
that
is
my
report.
Thank
you.
Great.
BZ
Yeah
just
two
things:
one
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
that
jerry,
michael
the
principal
willard
elementary
school
will
be
moving
on
and
then
thank
him
for
his
service
he's
been
a
great
principal
at
the
school
for
a
very
long
time,
and
I
would
just
like
to
draw
the
attention
of
the
community
who
has
concerns
about
the
referendum
process
to
page
31
of
the
junior
fourth
2018
rules
packet.
It
outlines
the
referendum
process.
Aldrin
fleming
is
correct,
although
ultimately
it
is
a
referendum
and
it
wouldn't
be
voted
on
by
the
residents.
BZ
I
think
also
you
could
reference
that
that
particular
memo
was
in
reference
to
a
referral
that,
although
green,
had
made
about
replacing
your
clerk
with
an
appointed
position.
But
it's
relevant,
and
the
important
thing
to
remember
is
referendums-
are
voted
on
by
the
citizens
at
a
regularly
scheduled
election.
A
A
Correct
alderman,
revell.
BY
We'll
just
very
briefly
add
my
thanks
to
the
many
residents
we
heard
from
tonight.
Just
such
wonderful
heartfelt
comments
really
on
all
sides
of
the
reparations
issue,
and
it's
really
wonderful
to
hear
from
everyone
and
my
thanks
again
to
ottoman
simmons
alderman
braithwaite,
alderman
rainey
for
their
wonderful
work
to
get
us
to
this
point
tonight
for
us
to
be
able
to
take
this
historic
photo.
Thank
you
very
much.
N
Thank
you,
alderman
alderman,
rainey,.
BW
Thank
you
to
everybody
who
came
out
tonight.
This
might
be
a
historic
occasion
additionally,
because
of
the
the
number
of
people
attending
this
our
zoom
meeting.
I've
never
seen
this
many
people
before
and
thank
you
to
the
committee
and
to
all
the
staff
people
who
worked
so
hard
and
to
the
council
members
who
supported
this
nina
kavan.
BW
I
got
a
bing
on
my
on
my
phone
nina
kavan
that
there
was
a
friend
of
hers
in
amherst
at
a
council
meeting
in
amherst
massachusetts,
whose
city
manager
reported
tonight
that
the
evanston
city
council
voted
yes
on
on
the
on
this
matter
tonight,
so
I
mean
it
was.
It
was
from
from
california
to
massachusetts.
A
Thank
you,
aldermen.
All
the
older
women
fleming.
Y
I
thank
you.
I
have
a
warning
meeting
tomorrow.
I
think
it's
at
six.
It
will
be
in
the
obviously
on
zooms.
You
can
find
that
online.
Also.
I
do
want
to
agree
with
ottoman
simmons.
I
think
everyone
was
right.
Everyone
has
their
own
perspective.
Everyone
has
their
own
experience.
Everyone
has
obviously
their
own
opinion
as
to
what's
right
what
we
should
do,
and
that
is
what
we
see
at
almost
every
vote,
particularly
big
folks
here
at
evanston.
So
hopefully
we
can
all
respect
that
and
allow
people
to
have
their
own
opinion.
Y
Y
We
do
need
everybody
to
participate,
but
if
you
don't,
for
whatever
reason,
your
voice
still
matters,
even
if
it
comes
in
the
midnight
hour
on
the
night
we're
going
to
vote,
I
don't
want
to
discourage
people
that
think
that
you
know
doing
that
has
no
place
and
the
fix
is
already
in
so
please
continue
to
participate
and
pay
attention
and
vote
which
early
voting
is
already
open.
Thank
you.
A
X
A
March
31st,
so
if
you're
watching
this
or
talking
to
people
that
are
interested
in
applying
for
the
committee
march,
31st
is
the
deadline.
We
are
already
getting
lots
of
applications,
which
is
wonderful.
So
thank
thank
you.
Everyone.
It
was
a
big
night
here
in
evanston
a
lot
of
things,
the
most
notable,
obviously
being
reparations.
The
first
step
in
reparations
here,
but
lots
of
other
important
items
that
this
city
council
passed.
So
thank
you
for
everybody's
hard
work
and
everyone's
leadership
and
everyone's
participation.
A
I
am
going
to
ask
if
there
is
a
motion
to
adjourn
this
meeting.
There
is
no
executive
session
this
evening,
so
moved.
