A
With
six
members
having
answered
the
call,
we
have
a
quorum
present
and
are
prepared
to
do
our
work.
The
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
is
my
public
announcements
and
proclamations.
A
I
have
no
proclamations
but
certainly
feel
compelled
in
what
is
the
first
city
council
meeting
since
the
tragedy
that
occurred
in
evanston
a
week
ago
yesterday
to
express
first
of
all
the
deepest
deepest
condolences
to
the
family
and
friends
and
loved
ones
of
carl
dennison,
whose
life
was
lost
to
say
that
our
thoughts
are
with
all
of
the
victims
of
that
shooting,
with
their
friends,
their
families,
their
loved
ones,
and
just
to
be
very
direct
about
how
horrifying
and
shocking
and
troubling
this
this
event
was.
A
People
across
this
community
are
hurting
a
lot
right
now,
of
course,
and
we
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
to
do.
We
cannot
allow
ourselves
to
be
complacent
in
the
face
of
obscene
behavior
like
this.
We
cannot
allow
us
ourselves
to
become
numb
to
it.
We
cannot
allow
ourselves
to
say
well,
that's
really
terrible,
but
it's
inevitable,
there's
nothing
we
can
do.
E
Good
evening,
mr
mayor
and
members
of
city
council
clerk
mendoza
I'd
like
to
express
my
sympathies
as
well
to
the
victims
of
that
horrible
event,
and
I
would
like
to
say
that
our
police
department
is
working
round
the
clock
to
bring
the
perpetrator
to
justice,
and
we
will
do
that.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
community
for
coming
together.
E
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
their
concern
and
the
support
is
much
needed
in
this
community,
and
and
so
we
really-
we
really
do
appreciate
the
kind
words
and
the
gestures
that
have
been
so
prevalent
over
the
last
week.
Additionally,
I
would
like
to
note
the
gun.
Buyback
program
was
a
great
success
and
I
believe
we
set
a
record
for
buybacks.
E
I
think
we
had
53
guns
that
were
purchased
back
from
the
evanston
police
department
over
the
weekend,
so
that
was
a
very
strong
showing
of
public
support
for
getting
guns
off
our
streets
and
keeping
our
children
safe.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
staff
and
the
council
and
the
community
for
your
support.
B
I
also
want
to
offer
my
condolences
and
as
a
mother
of
young
children,
I'm
also
deeply
concerned
and
hope
our
city
does
its
best
to
dedicate
all
its
resources
to
our
to
our
youth.
Here
in
evanston,
I
have
two
public
comment:
submissions,
one
from
lupe
orozco.
B
He
is
emailing
in
support
of
the
welcome
center
and
our
council
has
received
that
and
from
cindy
solarzano
who's,
a
mental
health
specialist.
It's
also
emailing
in
support
of
the
latinx
welcome
center,
and
being
that,
I
am,
you
know
the
only
latina
up
here
and
also
the
daughter
of
two
immigrant
parents.
I
also
want
to
offer
my
support
for
the
latinx
welcome
center.
B
I
think
that
you
know
children
need
to
be
children
and
we
should
have
the
support
available
for
adults
and
for
people
to
be
able
to
support
their
families,
and
hopefully
those
people
can
also
bring
the
the
experience
that
they
bring
from
their
cultures
and
open
businesses
here,
stay
here
in
evanston
and
make
this
a
diverse
and
welcoming
community
for
everybody.
F
Good
evening,
once
again,
everyone
thank
you
for
another
discussion
on
how
we
can
spend
our
arpa
funds.
Thank
you
for
all
of
the
town
hall
meetings,
ward
meetings
and
council
meetings
on
what
would
be
the
best
use
for
these
funds
for
the
city
of
evanston,
so
we're
talking
about
the
best
use
for
these
43
million
dollars.
F
You
approved
the
fifth
ward
tiff
without
fish
finishing
the
tiff
hearing.
Discussion
seems
to
be
some
confusion
about
the
difference
between
public
comment
and
public
hearing.
We
need
need
to
figure
out
how
to
cut
expenses,
not
increase
them.
This
does
not
look
like
a
healthy
budget
for
the
city
of
evanston
or
its
residents.
F
I
didn't
realize
until
the
tonight.
I
still
am
not
sure
how
many
committees,
departments,
committees
and
commissions
we
have,
but
I
didn't
know
that
there
was
about
120
volunteers,
which
means
to
me.
We
have
an
extra
120
employees
that
aren't
being
paid,
so
we
need
to
hire
an
extra
50
or
100
employees
to
add
to
the
800
and
some
we
already
have.
F
F
F
G
H
Ouch,
okay,
good
evening,
everyone,
I'm
candice
chow
and
I've
been
a
resident
of
evanston
for
roughly
the
past
25
years,
currently
residing
in
the
sixth
ward,
I'm
here
tonight
as
a
resident,
who
cares
very
deeply
about
affordable
housing
in
evanston.
I've
been
involved
in
affordable
housing
for
several
years.
My
first
exposure
to
the
need
for
affordable
housing
came
when
I
was
relocating
my
own
mother
from
the
east
coast
here
to
evanston
she's,
a
very
independent
woman,
and
she
refused
to
live
with
me.
H
Thank
heavens,
so
we
looked
tirelessly
for
a
safe,
accessible
and
affordable
apartment
for
her
in
evanston.
That
process
showed
me
how
very
little
affordable
housing
there
was
even
then
for
working
folks
in
our
community.
Like
my
mom
later
as
a
parent,
I
walked
alongside
several
families
in
my
kids
schools
and
looking
for
stable,
safe
housing.
These
families
were
caught
in
a
cycle
of
moving
from
lease
to
lease
due
to
poor
landlords,
poor
living
conditions
and
price
increases,
which
led
them
to
pick
up
and
change
addresses,
schools
and
homes,
hurting
them
and
their
children.
H
I
understand
the
council
has
not
yet
weighed
in
on
this
project
and
given
that
I
wanted
to
share
a
couple
priorities,
areas
that
if
in
your
shoes
I
would
want
to
understand,
be
able
to
respond
to
first,
I
believe-
and
I'm
sure
many
and
most
of
you
will
share
this
belief-
that
the
south
boulevard
development
and
the
city
asset
that
will
be
leveraged.
There
should
rightly
be
used
to
increase
highly
affordable
housing,
this
being
housing
at
the
lower
area.
H
H
As
you
know,
there's
no
single
path
to
making
evanston
the
truly
inclusive,
embracing
and
livable
community.
We
all
want,
but
I
believe
we
can
all
agree
we're
just
not
there
yet
increasing
availability
of
equality,
affordable
housing
for
children
and
families
in
our
community
is
critical
to
this
work
and
shows
through
our
actions
what
and
who
we
value.
Thank
you.
A
Two
people
signed
up
online
to
speak
in
person.
Often
that
is
done
by
done.
An
error
is
either
lindsey,
percival
or
stephen
vick
here.
To
give
public
comment,
oh
perfect,.
I
I
Our
organization
works
very
closely
and
with
a
lot
of
challenge
with
the
immigrant
and
refugee
community.
Certainly
in
evanston
we
all
know
there's
a
very
large
latino
population.
Our
organization
serves
approximately
20
percent
of
our
clientele
as
latino,
and
many
of
them
are
monolingual.
I
I
I
think
it
does
need
to
be
a
welcome
center
for
all
immigrant
and
refugees,
certainly
in
evanston
there's
a
large
latino
population,
as
I
said,
but
I
think
all
of
our
immigrant
immigrant
and
refugee
families
and
people
need
to
have
support
and
access
and
resources.
It's
not
enough
to
have
a
diverse
community.
We
have
to
be
an
inclusive
community,
which
means
we
provide
access.
I
A
Thank
you.
That
concludes
the
in-person
portion
of
our
public
comment.
We'll
now
move
to
online
comments,
beginning
with
mike
vasilco,
who
will
be
followed
by
betty
cones
and
then
carol.
Teske.
J
Thank
you,
I'm
going
to
start
backwards
at
my
list
I
sent
earlier
today,
and
this
is
probably
directed
to
council
member
jonathan
nuisma,
so
there's
no
mention
whatsoever
of
any
funds
for
climate
change
initiatives
in
the
discussion
you're
having
tonight.
There's
nothing
in
the
memorandum
that
talks
about
setting
aside
x
amount
of
dollars,
and
it
should
come
out
of
the
art
harp
of
funds.
In
my
opinion,
it
should
be
a
substantial
amount.
J
It
to
be
held
for
a
a
actionable
items,
a
list
of
which
to
be
determined
later,
since
I
know
you
haven't
had
time
to
look
at
it,
but
this
is
what
you
campaigned
on,
and
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity,
the
opportunity
to
make
a
significant
statement
for
climate
change
that
we've
all
ignored
going
backwards,
so
the
economic
development-
you
know
always
amazes
me
how
they
want
to
spend
money
talking
about
orington
and
chicago's
streetscape.
J
We
don't
need
that
business
district
planning.
Yet
another
study
don't
need
that
business
district
ambassador,
we
need
another
ambassador.
We've
got
people
and
organizations
that
are
always
promoting
the
downtown
business
district,
outdoor,
dining
infrastructure,
that's
something
that
should
be
dealt
with
by
the
shop
owners
if
they
want
outdoor
dining
place,
making
another
example
of
how
to
waste
some
money.
J
You
know
a
million
dollars
of
direct
support
to
a
small
group
for
this
development.
I
guess
of
an
existing
building
called
aux.
Well
in
my
mind,
you
know
between
that
and
northland.
That's
three
million
dollars
out
of
only
43
million.
So
that's
a
pretty
good
chunk
out
of
a
one-time
small
amount
of
money,
just
dishing
it
out
to
two
groups
that
are
supposedly
not
for
profit
but
they're
both
going
to
be
profiting
from
that
money.
J
A
K
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name-
is
betty
collins,
I'm
a
member
of
the
evanston
early
childhood
council.
K
The
ellis
early
childhood
council
is
a
cohesive
group
of
over
25
school
and
part
day
centers,
as
well
as
family,
home,
child
care
and
home
visiting
programs.
The
pandemic
has
been
near
catastrophic
for
the
evanston
early
childhood
community.
We
are
requesting
four
percent
of
the
alpha
funding
in
addition
to
what
has
already
been
allocated
in
buckets
for
early
president
education,
but
we
are
requesting
four
percent
to
the
council
to
stabilize
the
early
childhood
sector
for
the
following
priorities,
and
this
has
been
emailed
to
council
members
as
well
as
mayor
bis.
K
So
more
detailed
information
is
in
the
email
to
you,
but
I
will
speak
to
the
first
three
priorities:
operational
support
for
full
part-time
and
home-based
programs
decreases
in
enrollment
and
a
loss
of
fees
significantly
impacted
operational
cost.
It
has
become
increasingly
difficult
to
meet
operational
costs.
Some
centers
especially
part
day
and
home-based
programs
are
in
danger
of
closing
permanently
affordable.
Child
care
is
needed
in
evanston
for
families
to
have
the
ability
to
work.
K
K
The
income
for
early
childhood
education
workers
without
a
degree
is
typically
minimum
wage.
Many
of
these
workers
are
black
indigenous
people
of
color,
and
many
have
have
to
work
a
second
job
to
have
a
livable
income
opportunities
for
career
advancement
is
dependent
upon
the
workers
ability
to
pay
the
tuition.
K
Many
cannot
afford
the
cost
and
are
unable
to
leave
their
job
for
required
field
work.
Our
evanston
council
is
diligently
working
to
resolve
challenges
that
we
have
been
experiencing.
We
need
the
assistance
of
the
city
council
to
ensure
that
our
economy
is
stable
and
that
families
have
safe
and
affordable
care
for
our
youngest
children.
L
L
The
evanston
early
childhood
council
is
a
collective
that
has
been
in
existence
since
the
early
1980s.
It
is
a
formal
collaboration
built
on
years
of
trust
and
partnership.
We
have
a
mission
statement,
a
set
of
core
values.
We
elect
a
chair
vice
chair
secretary
and
my
organization.
The
child
care
network
of
evanston
serves
as
the
fiscal
sponsor
annual
dues
and
donations,
support
our
activities
and
will
receive
funding
through
our
partnership
with
the
evanston
cradle
to
career,
to
pay
an
administrator
eight
hours
per
week
to
create
systems
and
assist
in
a
variety
of
our
activities.
L
L
Our
vision
includes
empowering
parents
as
partners
and
advocates
so
that
all
children
can
thrive
and
be
successful.
While
families
are
supported,
honored
and
valued
as
early
childhood
professionals,
we
are
committed
to
our
committed
community
by
creating
positive,
long-term,
meaningful
solutions
to
solve
real
life
problems
caused
by
the
pandemic.
L
I'm
here
tonight
to
not
only
ask
you
to
recognize
the
early
childhood
community
as
a
place
where
arpa
funds
could
be
wisely
invested,
but
to
also
request
that
the
evanston
early
childhood
council
be
the
recipient
of
a
portion
of
the
funds
with
child
care
network
of
evanston.
As
the
fiscal
agent
for
the
early
childhood
council,
we
have
a
proven
track
record
of
fiscal
responsibility
to
track
and
monitor
federal
state
and
municipal
funds.
L
L
L
So,
as
the
city
council,
you
all
have
a
great
responsibility
and
a
very
unique
responsibility
to
spur
disperse
a
large
amount
of
funding.
Early
childhood
is
listed
in
several
of
the
buckets
that
are
established
for
the
arpa
funding
on
behalf
of
the
evanston
early
childhood
council.
Please
partner
with
us
as
we
strive
to
give
our
youngest
evanstonians
a
strong
start
that
they
deserve
thanks.
So
much
for
listening
tonight.
G
C
M
As
mayor
bis
said,
my
name
is
alejandri,
I'm
an
evanston
resident
residing
in
the
eighth
ward
with
my
spouse
and
three
children
that
attend
65
district
65
in
district
202
schools.
I
also
serve
as
the
chair
of
the
city's
equity
and
power
commitment.
Commission
excuse
me,
and
I'm
also
the
inaugural
executive
director
of
illinois
unidos,
which
is
a
statewide
advocacy
organization
committed
to
the
equitable
response
and
recovery
from
coven
19
for
the
state's
latinx
population.
M
I'm
here
to
share
my
excitement
and
support
for
evanston's
interest
in
applying
to
create
a
welcoming
center
in
our
city.
If
you
are
not
aware,
welcome
illinois
welcoming
centers
were
launched
in
2007
their
comprehensive
service
centers
committed
to
the
integration
of
immigrants
and
refugees
in
illinois.
M
The
goal
of
welcoming
centers
is
to
strengthen
the
overall
human
service
delivery
system
for
immigrants
and
refugees
and
build
the
capacity
of
those
same
communities.
Some
of
the
main
features
of
welcoming
centers
is
they
provide
comprehensive
and
holistic
case
management
and
service
coordination
to
immigrants
and
refugees
in
a
linguistically,
culturally
appropriate
manner.
Welcoming
centers
are
familiar
with
benefits
and
services
provided
by
state
and
federal
agencies,
as
well
as
those
provided
by
social
service
agencies.
M
M
M
That
is
what
we
are
about
here
in
evanston,
and
I
really
support
this
concept
and
look
to
participate
in
the
implementation
of
the
creation
of
a
welcoming
center
here
in
evanston.
Thank
you.
G
N
Okay,
good
evening,
mayor
city
manager,
city,
clerk
and
city
council,
you
need
to
put
opera
money
aside
to
help
small
landlords
grant
money
not
telling
us
to
get
a
loan
or
the
many
committees
that
I
attend
or
you're
at
the
wrong
place.
Tina
sometime
in
the
future
will
help
you
well.
The
future
is
now
is
the
present.
N
N
N
G
O
Thank
you.
My
name
is
lindsey
percival.
I
am
the
executive
director
of
learning
bridge
early
education
center
here
in
evanston.
I
think
all
the
council
members
have
have
been
sent
the
list
of
needs
that
the
evanston
early
childhood
council
feel
are
necessary
for
the
return
of
services
for
our
sector.
I
will
try
to
add
to
rather
than
repeat
our
requests
when
the
instant
early
childhood
council
came
together
to
ask
for
help
from
our
funds
was
very
easy
for
us
to
see
where
we
need
help
our
enrollment
plummeted
and
expenses
to
keep
us
safe
rocketed.
O
Our
council
has
worked
together
for
over
40
years
from
photo
displays
in
the
chase
bank
entrance
to
school
and
school
fairs
to
applying
collaboratively
and
sharing
funds
from
grants.
Ms
cohen
has
miss,
cohen's
has
outlined
some
requests
and
I
would
like
to
speak
to
a
few
more.
We
need
financial
support
for
mental
and
behavioral
health
and
disability,
occupational
and
physical
therapies.
O
O
Disability
services
are
very
limited
through
early
intervention
and
more
funds
are
needed
to
support
our
families.
We
are
enrolling
children
who
have
not
been
in
child
care
before
they
have
not
been
separated
from
their
parents,
and
nor
have
they
been
in
group
settings.
These
children
and
their
families
and
teachers
need
supports
for
these
transitions
to
be
successful.
O
We
need
emergency
support
for
families
and
scholarship
dollars
to
support
the
continuity
of
care.
Many
parents
work,
two
jobs
do
due
to
covet.
They
have
lost
one
of
them
or
have
had
their
hours
cut,
which
makes
them
underemployed
and
they
do
not
work
the
hours
that
are
needed
to
be
eligible
for
the
child
care
assistance
program,
but
they
still
need
care
for
their
part-time
hours,
the
part-time
hours
that
they
are
working.
We
want
to
keep
the
children
in
secure
care,
while
the
parents
get
back
on
their
feet
again.
O
A
P
Let's
see
when
we
get
back
to
my
notes,
okay,
I
listened
to
the
speakers
and
it
was
wonderful
to
know
so
many
organizations
are
committed
and
that
we
may
be
able
to
help
them
with
regard
to
our
funds
that
we've
yet
to
assign
and
with
regard
to
what
tina
said
about
landlords
and
what
I
have
to
say
about
having
some
alternative
with
regard
to
helping
the
landlords
and
residents
who
need
help
even
before
tips
are
able
to
be
available.
P
P
I
mean
the
city
of
evanston
hasn't
committed
enough
help,
and
we
hear
that
with
regard
to
the
agencies,
who
are
basically
skin,
adjusted
with
money
spent
right
and
residents
can
be
forced
to
leave
early
sell
or
lose
their
homes
are
similar
to
landlords
losing
their
properties
through
devastating
foreclosure.
Can
our
province
get
rehab
done
sooner
to
keep
long-time
residents
who
are
waiting
for
and
acquire
renters
for
needed
revenue
generation
like
the
developers
for
residents
seniors
who
want
to
age
in
place?
P
And
then
I
added
to
that
listening
to
the
speakers
not
just
tiff,
but
to
two
plus
million
for
families.
Kids
ptsd
trauma
more
integrated
practices,
including
acupuncture
accessibility,
where
money
and
place
have
been
issues
or
accessibility,
accessible
places
which
are
talking
about
these
centers
for
people,
and
we
need
to
have
that
centralized
as
well
as
a
city,
and
we
need
to
restore
to
do
that.
All
it's
a
simple
solution,
restore
I
mean
not
simple,
but
of
a
complex
problem.
P
A
single
point
solution
would
be
inc,
restore
the
human
health
and
human
services
grant
maker
for
housing
and
homelessness
within
health
and
human
services,
who
then
can
acquire
grant
funds
but
to
synergize
and
augment
the
our
performance
are
being
requested
right
now,
as
you
as
you're
listening.
Thank
you.
A
R
Thank
you
good
evening,
everyone.
My
name
is
jesse
rojo,
I'm
an
policy
organizer
with
kofi
community,
organizing
family
issues,
which
has
a
team
of
about
30
leaders,
primarily
latinas
in
evanston,
and
today
I'm
going
to
talk
into
the
port
of
the
welcoming
center,
because
I
believe
that
it
takes
a
village
to
raise
a
child,
but
unfortunately,
because
of
covid
and
because
of
the
economic
issues
that
exist
before
kobet,
not
every
family
can
do
it
by
themselves.
Again
it
takes
a
village,
but
not
every
family
has
access
to
that
village.
R
R
The
only
reason,
I'm
here
to
just
speak
in
support
of
this
and
it's
part
of
the
idea
that
this
welcoming
center
will
not
just
help
evanston
open
its
doors
to
immigrant
communities,
but
also
kind
of
step
outside
of
its
doors
and
recognize
that
immigrants
not
only
need
support
to
be
here,
but
that
they
can
also
offer
a
lot
of
fantastic
things
for
the
city
of
evanston
yeah.
That's
really
all
I
got
and
real
quick
shout
out
to
all
the
early
childhood
folks
too.
R
G
S
Oh,
I
can
on
mute
hello
good
evening,
honorable
everybody,
you
can
hear
me.
I
have
a
few
points.
I
didn't
write
an
eloquent
speech
tonight,
but
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
some
things
that
were
brought
up
in
the
november
first
city
council
meeting
by
members
of
the
mental
health
task
force,
where
we
were
encouraging
an
increase
in
the
allocation
of
arpa
funds
for
social
services.
S
I
want
to
give
an
a
plus
on
the
agenda
for
the
idea
of
a
living
room
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
visiting
some
living
rooms
with
members
of
the
mental
health
task
force
and
some
council
members
who
have
responded
to
our
emails
to
request
meetings
and
if
anybody
else
would
like
to
meet
with
members
of
the
mental
health
task
force.
We
are
definitely
very
interested
in
meeting
it
with
members
of
the
council
to
discuss
this
arpa
funding,
and
I
also
want
to
give
an
a
plus
to
the
latinx
welcoming
center
idea.
S
I
think
that
is
an
incredible
idea,
and
I
was
really
excited
to
see
that
in
the
packet,
if
we
are
truly
a
welcoming
city
that
we
profess
to
be
here's
like
a
literal
way
to
put
our
money
where
our
mouths
are,
and
as
always
I'd
like
to
encourage
partnership
with
district
65
and
district
202
in
that
process,
because
I
think
that
that
would
be
an
important
element
to
a
welcoming
center
to
make
sure
that
families
are
looped
right
into
the
schools
and
welcomed
within
the
community.
S
S
I
also
want
to
say
that
community
alliance
for
better
government
had
a
press
conference
this
evening
to
say
that
we
would
really
hope
that
the
city,
council
or
the
city
manager
search
will
be
as
transparent
as
possible
and
are
eagerly
awaiting
updates
on
that
and
updates
on
how
the
public
will
be
involved
in
the
next
steps
going
forward
and
then
just
an
observation
suggestion
from
something
I
saw
today
on
the
just
the
city
website.
Helping
families
try
to
get
enrolled
in
the
holiday
program.
S
The
mayor's
holiday
gift
program
there's
a
page
of
information
that
has
a
lot
of
information
about
how
to
donate
and
where
to
donate
and
how
to
give
stuff
and
then
a
tiny
little
paragraph
at
the
bottom
of
how
to
participate
in
it.
And
there
are
lots
of
families
who
want
to
participate
and
are
looking
for
that
information.
So
if
that
could
be
made
more
accessible
and
visible
to
families.
S
I
think
that
would
be
important
and
that's
my
list
for
today,
so
I
yield
my
time
to
previous
speakers
who
talked
too
long
because
they
were
saying
really
important
stuff.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you.
The
next
speaker
will
be
angela
mcconner
after
he
will
loop
back
to
those
who
already
called
on
miss
mcconner.
T
Hello
yep
there
you
go
all
right.
I
want
to
give
an
a-plus
to
create
this
great
idea
of
opening
a
welcome
center
and
support
the
hispanic
latinx
community
in
evanston.
I
think
that
this
is
a
a
gap
in
services
in
our
community
and
science.
We
need
to
consider
that
the
our
population
is
growing
very
fast
and
we
have
the
opportunity
we
are
creating
a
group
of
latinx
latinx
businesses
in
leadership
in
evanston,
with
the
support
of
the
evanston
chamber
and
the
city
clerk
of
evanston
city,
the
city
of
evanston,
and
we
detect.
T
We
realized
for
the
feedback
of
the
people
that
the
latinx
community,
especially
business,
do
not
have
enough
support
or
enough
resources.
So
I
think
that
this
is
a
great
opportunity
to
support
our
community
to
to
grow
their
business
and
to
bring
more
revenue
to
the
city
of
evanston
so
enable
us
for
the
project
idea.
A
T
Q
Thank
you,
mayor
bis.
I
want
to
just
reinforce
some
of
the
comments
made
by
tina,
payton
and
add
a
couple
more.
I
think
this
is
a
chance
for
us
to
use
this
our
plan
not
only
for
mental
health
but
for
small
minority
landlords
who
provided
housing
for
difficult
to
place.
People
looking
for
places
to
stay
this
covet
or
virus
has
put
us
in
a
very
difficult
position,
not
only
for
the
lost
income,
but
also
at
the
point
where
we
cannot
provide
the
services
of
providing
housing.
Q
That's
why
I
recommended
and
suggested
that
you
set
aside
a
million
to
two
million
dollars
for
small
minority
land
owners
who
have
had
a
substantial
hit
in
their
income
or
paying
their
property
taxes
maintaining
them,
and
there
is
no
other
resources,
not
through
connections
not
through
community
block
grant
funds.
There
were
no
programs
that
we
could
take
an
advantage
in
our
situation,
so
I'm
hoping
that
you
can
have
some
money
to
set
aside
and
give
us
the
opportunity
to
continue
providing
housing
for
people
here
in
evanston.
Thank
you.
A
U
Sorry,
everyone
hi,
my
name-
is
juan
hericatis,
I'm
an
evanston
resident
in
the
ninth
ward,
I'm
an
immigrant
and
a
board
member
of
evanson
latinos,
and
I
just
wanted
to
speak
tonight
to
support
my
support
for
the
welcome
center
in
the
the
past
few
years
with
when
I've
worked
with
the
community
and
without
my
organization,
evans
and
latinos,
a
theme
at
when
we
talk
to
to
residents-
and
that
comes
up
time
and
time
again
is
a
need
for
a
gathering
place
for
the
latino
community
and
also
you
know,
help
accessing
services,
especially
services
in
spanish,
and
I
think
a
welcome
center
would
be
something
that
would
benefit
the
latinx
community
as
well
as
other
immigrant
communities,
and
I
think
it's
a
the
right
step
for
the
city
of
evanston
to
take,
and
I
just
wanted
to
voice
my
full
support.
A
Thank
you.
That
brings
our
public
comment
to
a
close,
which
brings
us
to
special
orders
of
business.
Would
anyone
like
to
make
a
motion
to
enable
discussion
on
item
sp1.
V
A
Council
member
braithwaite
moves
item
sp
one
council,
member
new
smith
seconds,
there's
going
to
be
a
brief
presentation
from
staff
that
goes
over
some
of
the
high
points
and
related
topics
to
what
was
in
the
packet
that
was
published
late
last
week.
A
Just
as
a
bit
of
a
guide
for
the
discussion,
I
think
this
is
something
like
11
slides
long,
but
we're
going
to
stop
at
the
end
of
each
section,
each
section
being
typically
one
or
two
or
three
slides,
so
the
discussion
can
be
focused
on
particular
issues
and
not
sort
of
jump
around
from
topic
to
topic.
So
with
that,
let
me
turn
it
over
to
our
team
thanks.
So
much
for
the
work
you
put
into
this.
E
Good
evening,
members
of
city
council
and
clark
mendoza,
kelly,
gandersky,
again
term
city
manager,
I
want
to
acknowledge
on
tonight's
arpa
team
we
have
with
us
paul
zamzak
our
economic
development
division
manager.
We
have
sarah
flax,
our
housing
and
grants
manager
and
I'm
proud
to
announce.
We
also
have
with
us
nathan,
norman,
who
has
just
been
named
our
workforce
development
coordinator,
so
this
team
will
be
kicking
off
tonight's
meeting.
E
E
This
we
put
together,
we've
we've
been
getting
a
lot
of
questions
about
the
funds
and
how
they
work
and
when
are
they
coming
in,
and
we
think
that
this
graphic
is
going
to
be
really
helpful,
not
only
members
of
the
council
but
members
of
the
public,
as
well
kind
of
showing
a
timeline
of
fun
disbursement
when
funds
should
really
be
encumbered
or
assigned
and
then
expended.
E
E
Our
new
arpa
webpage
has
been
updated
with
this
information
for
the
public.
My
goal
is
to
get
this
information,
along
with
some
other
pertinent
arpa
resources
in
a
downloadable
form
and
pdf
on
this
website
in
spanish
and
english,
so
that
we
can
have
that
members
of
the
public
can
download
and
print
if
they
want
to,
or
people
can
look
at
it
as
a
flyer,
but
on
the
website
it's
been
updated
with
what
we've
discussed
so
far,
where
we've
been
where
we
are
timeline
and
resources.
What's
not
on
here,
which
will
also
be
implemented.
E
Soon
is
another
question
that
we've
been
asked:
I'm
a
community
member
or
I'm
a
non-for
profit
organization,
and
I
want
to
pitch
my
idea
for
arpa.
I
want
to
pitch
a
suggestion.
How
do
I
do
that?
Well,
now
that
the
council
has
approved
our
funds
for
sarah
flax's
group,
we
will
be
directing
those
requests
through
sarah
flax
and
her
group
when
a
staff
member
has
been
assigned-
and
there
will
be
an
email
address
assigned
to
that.
So
the
website
will
continue
to
be
updated
and
we'll
continue
to.
E
W
Sorry
kelly,
I
did
have
a
question
so
that
the
page
about
where
you
can
go
in
there
picture
idea
are
we
going
to,
and
I
can't
see
that
far
sorry
are
we
going
to
have
parameters
in
terms
of
like
these
are
the
kind
of
things
that
will
be
considered
and
or
if
this
okay?
So
can
you
explain
that
part
too
yeah.
E
C
Got
it
I
I
just
gave
you
a
promotion,
maybe
no
raise
sorry
but
queen
of
arpa.
I'm
pleased
that
we're
making
some
progress
here.
You
know
these
are
steps
in
the
right
direction
in
alignment
with
the
documentation
that
I
had
circulated
and
discussed
with
most
of
the
people
up
here
on
the
diocese,
so
I
still
think
we
were
not
quite
there,
but
we
were
with
this
work
and
where
the
direction
we're
heading
we're
taking
some,
you
know
good
strides
in
terms
of
transparency.
C
One
thing
I
would
like
to
see
on
this
on
the
web
portal
here
is
our
allocations.
What
we
have
assigned
to
each
pocket
and
how
a
running
total
of
how
much
of
each
bucket
has
been
spent
it'd
be
nice
to
see
all
that
in
one
place
as
well,
but
thank
you
for
the
work
yeah.
I
appreciate
it.
X
Y
Okay,
thank
you
good
evening,
members
of
the
city
council
and
and
clerk
mendoza
for
those
in
attendance
and
watching.
My
name
is
paul
zalmazak
and
I
serve
as
the
city's
economic
development
manager.
Y
Y
We
appreciate
your
patience
as
we
wanted
to
really
document
our
thoughts
from
a
staff
perspective,
and
we
often
do
that
with
you
know
I'll
do
this
again
with
the
economic
development
committee,
as
we
come
up
with
a
work
plan
for
2022-24,
not
necessarily
expecting
you
to
read
every
word,
but
we
we
do
want
to
be
very
comprehensive
and
we'll
provide
kind
of
a
executive
summary
brief
covering
it,
but
for
the
economic
development
from
the
economic
development
perspective
for
arpa,
we
really
want
to
recommend
that
we
move
forward
with
kind
of
a
what
I'll
call
a
slow,
roll
or
kind
of
a
an
interim
process
where
we
are
moving
forward
with
the
retail
plan,
which
we're
actually
trying
to
be
a
little
more
comprehensive
with
our
terminology.
Y
So
using
calling
it
a
business
district
strategy
and
implementation
plan
that
has
gone
to
committee,
we're
just
waiting
for
the
city
council
to
buy
into
the
economic
development
portion
of
the
arpa
spending
plan
or
investment
plan
and
if
at
some
point,
we're
ready
to
move
forward
with
that
study,
we'll
do
that
we'll
issue
an
rfp
again.
We
are
recommending
really
for
downtown,
primarily,
but
also,
I
would
recommend,
for
main
street
a
business
district,
maintenance
and
ambassador
program.
Y
Y
Part
of
the
business
district
strategy
and
implementation
plan
would
include
that
there
are
some
things
that
staff
have
recognized
immediately
and
that's
why
we
brought
forward
the
other
idea
that
I
believe
was
approved
by
a
council
as
kind
of
a
placeholder
in
the
at
a
previous
meeting
through
apw,
and
that
was
a
450
000
hold
that
would
match
a
1.8
million
dollar
grant
from
the
state
of
illinois
and
finally
create
and
implement,
implement
a
city-wide
place.
Y
Making
plan
that
goes
back
to
some
early
conversations
we
had
with
the
economic
development
committee
over
the
summer
and
on
each
of
these
slides
you'll,
see
a
star
at
the
bottom,
with
our
recommendation
that
the
process
would
follow
our
existing
process.
I
think
we
heard
council
member
braithwaite
mention
that
we
have
a
process,
let's
follow
it
so
from
the
economic
development
perspective,
we'll
go
to
the
economic
development
committee
and
there
are
a
couple
of
things
here
with
place
making
and
I
think
some
of
the
things
like
outdoor
dining
or
things
that
involve
the
public
right-of-way.
Y
We
need
apw
and
planning
and
development
committee,
and
just
just
for
the
sake
for
the
record,
I
am
putting
these
two
items
on
that
represent
direct
assistance.
We've
there's
been
some
debate
about
how
we're
going
to
process
these,
but
I'm
just
putting
them
out
there
because
they
have
been
requested.
Y
The
economic
development
committee
tabled
the
request
from
the
ox
to
the
january
26
meeting,
as
we
await
for
the
city
council
to
provide
guidance
on
how
we're
going
to
plan
for
harpa
spending,
and
then
norflight
still
is
considering
asking
for
2
million
for
their
25
million
project.
There
has
not
been
a
formal
request
of
this
body,
so
I'll
pause
here
unless
we
want
to
have
nathan,
present
workforce
and
then
we'll
comprehensively
discuss
economic
development
so
nathan,
why
don't
you
take
the
stage?
Thank
you.
E
Nathan
began
his
official
position
today,
so
I'm
happy
to
say
this
is
a
budgeted
position
too.
So
his
position
is
not
arpa
contingent
and
it
was
sorely
needed.
It's
a
big
hole.
It
was
a
big
hole.
We
had
an
organization
that
nathan's
gonna
fill
and
he
came
hitting
the
ground
running
even
last
week
with
you
know,
kelly
I've
got
some
ideas.
I've
had
some
ideas.
I've
been
doing
my
research.
I've
been
working
on
this,
so
I'm
going
to
let
nathan
take
it
away.
Z
Absolutely
thank
you
so
much
interim
manager,
gronkowski
and
good
evening,
city,
council
and
honorable
mayor
bison
clerk
mendoza
again
for
those
watching
I'm
nathan,
norman
and
I'm
the
newly
appointed
workforce,
development
coordinator
and
right
here.
On
this
slide.
We
have
some
of
the
priorities.
I
call
them
some
of
the
initial
priorities
that
we
will
forget.
Z
We
will
focus
on
for
our
workforce
development
efforts,
and
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
establish
first
is
to
coordinate
with
both
internal
and
external
employer
partners,
and
that
is
really
just
to
establish
a
base
for
what
we
would
like
to
what
employment
pathways
we
can
identify
to
get
evaston
residents.
Everton
residents
involved
in.
Thank
you
so
much
and
then
next
I
would
like
to
identify
industry
priorities
with
employer
partners.
Z
So
I
know
one
of
the
things
that
I've
heard
over
and
over
tonight
is
about
child
care
and
the
demand
for
workers
in
child
care
in
those
spaces,
and
then
also
the
demand
for
individuals
to
get
back
in
the
workspace
and
how
you
know.
Child
care
can
be
a
barrier
for
that.
If
they
can't
afford
it-
or
if
you
know
they
don't
have
the
capacity
in
some
of
the
child
care
spaces,
wrap
around
support
is
going
to
be
crucial.
It's
going
to
be
critical
for
individuals,
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is.
Z
We
want
to
provide
job
search
assistance.
We
want
to
provide
workplace,
important
preparation
skills.
We
want
to
provide
digital
literacy
courses
for
individuals
seeking
employment
opportunities,
and
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
do
too
is
identify
the
barriers
that
barriers
to
employment
for
these
individuals
and
again
this
may
be
because
of
you
know
they
don't
have
child
care.
This
may
be
because
we
see
a
lot
of
people
at
home,
saying
you
know
the
the
benefits
I'm
receiving
with
from
unemployment.
Z
You
know
it's
just
not
conducive
for
me
to
go
back
to
work
it.
It
doesn't
compete,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
identify
competitive
opportunities
to
get
everstonies
back
in
the
workforce,
and
I
think
that
that's
going
to
be
integral-
and
one
of
the
things
too,
is
just
increasing
the
visibility
of
evidence
of
the
city
of
evidence,
workforce
development
initiatives,
the
more
people
know
about
our
efforts
and
what
we're
doing
to
attract
everson
residents
to
the
workforce.
Z
If
anyone
has
you
know
any
questions
or
anything
like
that,
bear
with
me,
I
apologize
my
first
time
before
city
council,
so
a
little
nervous
but
happy
to
be
here
with
you
all
and
I
intend
to
amplify
our
workforce
development
efforts.
Z
A
AA
Well,
yeah,
I
just
one
wanted
to
say:
congratulations
nathan
on
the
new
position,
great
first
time
presenting
in
front
of
the
council
paul.
AA
AA
I
am
personally
more
supportive
of
investing
in
public
spaces
than
investing
in
private
businesses
for
the
for
the
most
part,
and
so
I
think
place
making
is
exactly
that
investing
in
public
spaces
and
making
our
public
spaces
better
for
everyone
which
in
turn-
and
it
has
an
economic
benefit
to
the
private
businesses,
but
ultimately
it's
for
the
public
so
fully
supportive
of
this.
I
I
also
I
heard
you
say
that
we
would
seek
services
of
a
business,
district
maintenance
and
ambassador
program
for
downtown
and
main
street.
AA
I'm
really
interested
in
why
you
know
maybe
howard
street
wasn't
included
in
that.
Y
Sure
I
wasn't
sure
if
you're
finished
with
your
questions.
Y
Yeah,
I
guess
I
guess
main
street
was
top
of
mind
based
on
some
challenges
we
had
over
the
last
week,
or
so
with
you
know,
christmas
tree
lights,
and
things
like
that,
so
I
would
say
that
howard
street,
my
the
way
I
imagine
this
rolling
out
is
downtown,
would
have
the
would
be
the
primary
service
area
served
by
this
ambassador
group
and
then
we'd
have
the
the
ambassador
also
kind
of
rotating
where
needed.
Y
So
I
think
my
observation,
based
on
this
experience
and
also
living
here
is
main
street-
seems
to
be
kind
of
a
hot
spot
right
now
and
we
can
rotate
it
to
howard
street
too.
This
is
really
it's
about
designing
a
scope
of
services
for
this
program,
but
primarily
I'm
thinking
of
downtown
as
kind
of
the
center
of
the
activity
but
sure
howard
street.
I
wouldn't
suggest
we
use
it
on
central
street
and
we
just
don't
have
the
need
there.
I
can't
think
of
any
other
district
dempster.
I
don't
think
needs
it
either.
AA
Yeah,
my
thinking
behind
that
is,
you
know
we
downtown
and
central
street
and
maine
dempster
or
even
maine
dempster
have
ssas,
and
so
they
have
what
150
to
250
000
roughly
annually
allocated
toward
toward
toward
their
needs.
And
you
know
you
have
business
districts
like
howard
street,
I'm
not
the
fifth
word
councilmember,
but
you
know
the
fifth
ward
has
a
business
district
and
other
wards
have
business
districts
as
well,
that
don't
have
those
ssas
and
thereby
and
those
just
business
districts,
get
about
ten
thousand
dollars
a
year.
AA
I
think
howard
street
and
other
districts.
They
thought,
although
howard
street,
really
could
use
some
of
this
love
and
attention
as
well.
R
Y
Thanks
for
the
feedback
and
for
the
record,
I
believe
at
a
future
meeting
we'll
be
recommending
that
we
provide
more
money
from
the
great
merchant
grant
for
the
business
districts
that
don't
have
ssas.
Since
less
is
going
to
the
ssas.
We
have
more
in
our
budget,
so
we're
thinking
of
maybe
recommending
a
double,
or
maybe
one
and
a
half
times
so
like
somewhere
in
the
range
of
25
000..
But
that's
for
a
later
economic
development
community.
A
At
this
time,
no
one
who
has
not
spoken
yet
is
requesting
to
speak.
So
we'll
go
back
to
council
member
fleming,
followed
by
newsmen.
W
W
Yeah
in
a
second,
so
it's
listed:
let's
see
what.
W
There
so
you
have
on
page
two,
you
have
business
district
improvement,
but
then
on
page
three
under
equitable
and
inclusive
I
mean
excuse
me
inclusive
and
equitable
recovery.
You
have
the
hill
ceba
business
district,
so
it's
just
trying
to
figure
out
why
it
wasn't
with
other
business
districts.
Yeah.
G
Y
Y
So
it's
in
here
in
census,
tract
80
92
is
hill
arts
and
also
central
edmonson
business
association
or
ceba.
So
we
are
highlighting
the
fact
that
arpa
allows
a
very
sp.
You
can
use
area,
focused
economic
development
activities
with
minimal
kinds
of
strings
attached
from
the
federal
government.
That's
why
it's
showing
up
there.
We
could
use
section
nine
that
four
million
dollars
from
that
to
support
those
business
district
activities.
W
That's
good
the
other
thing
you
already
meant
to
answer
one
of
my
questions,
so
you
and
I
had
a
discussion
about
this
early
on
about
the
maintenance
ambassador
program
and
how
I
do
not
support
them.
You
know
I
I'm
not
downtown
all
the
time,
but
when
I'm
there,
I
don't
see
like
a
huge
trash
situation.
I
see
a
lot
of
people
out
there,
but
my
concern,
as
I
mentioned
to
you,
is
we're
going
to
this
ambassador
program
and
we're
going
to
start
to
kind
of
shoo
the
homeless
away,
so
to
speak.
W
Also,
I
have
concerns
with
the
stigma
that
might
come
along
with
this.
Given
that
the
ambassador
program
has
the
mature
state,
it
was
kind
of
helping
you
know
hard
to
employ
folks
kind
of
start
working,
and
so
my
concern
with
that
is
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
people
of
color
out
with
best
one
or
whatever
we're
tagging
the
website.
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
my
public
concern
still
not
so
much
a
question.
W
I
guess
you'll
handle
that
when
it
comes
forward
and
then
I
guess,
as
you
put
those
two
businesses
up
in
terms
of
the
ox
and
north
light-
and
I
know
you
preference
that
these
are
the
ones
that
asked.
I
would
hope-
and
I
guess
economic
development
is
doing
some
of
this-
like
there's
some
kind
of
criteria
that
we're
going
to
use
to
determine
who
and
what.
And
why
and
all
that.
So
I
look
forward
to
getting
that
when
it
comes
back
right.
E
Yeah,
so
we
so
what
we
did
and
I'll
just
briefly
touch
on
it.
Now
we
took
the
evanston
community
foundation
report,
along
with
some
other
public
feedback
that
we've
gotten
from
the
community,
and
we
created
a
kind
of
a
criterion
sheet
that
we
think
that
boards
commissions
committees
and
our
staff
should
use
and
scoring
or
evaluating
these
proposals
with
in
and
you'll
know
that
they
have
these
cross-sector
references
as
well
that
the
evanston
community
foundation
reported
on.
E
W
Okay,
so
that
that's
helpful,
thank
you
and
then
just
my
last
comment
is
from
mr
norman.
So
I
think
you
have
it
on
here,
but
I
would
love
for
us
to
increase
our
workforce
opportunities
in
this
building.
I
know
several
years
ago
we
changed
the
policy
about
hiring
people
who
had
criminal
backgrounds,
and
I
don't
know
since
then,
we've
hired
a
single
person.
So
I
trust
you
will
be
working
on
that
and
just
my
other
public
comment
is
congrats
on
the
job.
W
However,
I
will
say,
as
a
citizen
who
has
known
norman
for
a
long
time,
it
is
a
huge
loss
that
he
is
no
longer
an
outreach
team.
I
mean
his
work
in
the
community
with
people
who
we
need
to
have
moved
out
of.
Certain
lifestyles
is
humongous
and
people
probably
don't
know
it,
because
they
don't
see
him,
but
I
think
he'll
do
great
here,
but
I
think
you
know
we.
This
is
a
huge
loss
to
not
have
him
really
running
or
serving
in
our
outreach
space,
because
he
is
a
gem
in
that
way.
Z
Thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
that
councilmember
fleming.
Regarding
your
first
question,
we
will
be
doing
some.
I
will
be
coordinating
with
both
internal
and
external
partners,
but
we
want
to
definitely
do
what
you
just
spoken
about,
and
so
we
want
to
create
apprenticeship
programs
within
the
city
of
evanston
for
sure
so
like
we
have
something
in
the
water
department
already
we
want
to
augment
that.
Z
We
I've
spoken
with
several
department
heads
already
and
we're
going
to
figure
out
ways
to
get
everson
residents
in
this
in
this
building
so
that
they
can
be
prepared
for
the
workforce.
We
want
to
do
things
in
public
works.
We
want
to
do
things
in
facilities,
we
want
to
do
things
in
I.t
and
and
it
doesn't-
and
we
want
to
be
a
leader
about
what
we're
asking
and
expecting
our
external
partners
to
do,
and
so
we've
identified
a
lot
of
those
opportunities
and
we're
going
to
execute
on
them.
W
Y
Mr
american,
I
can
I
say
one
last
thing
in
response
to
alderman
or
sorry,
councilmember
fleming's
comment
about
the
ambassador
program.
Okay,.
Y
I
just
want
to
be
very
clear
that
I'm
I'm
you
and
I've
spoken
and
definitely
your
your
concerns
have
registered
and
before
we
recommend
any
program,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it
links
with
yours
and
not
duplicates
it.
So
it's
it's
probably
much
different
than
what
you're
planning,
but
before
we
recommend
any
expenditures
or
an
rfp
for
that
service.
W
AB
Well,
I
was
just
going
to
echo
some
of
the
concerns
that
council
member
fleming
raised
about
the
ambassador
program.
I
mean
I'd
like
to
know
how
it's
going
to
be
relating
to
the
crisis
response
teams
that
are
going
to
be
from
trilogy.
For
example,
that's
going
to
be
working
in
evanston.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
at
cross
purposes
with
with
that
program,
so
I
certainly
will
be
looking
for
more
information
about
that
program.
D
A
Yeah
there
there
are
so
next
is
council,
member
nusma.
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
so
just
point
of
order
here:
are
we
going
to
be
talking
about
funding
levels
as
we
have
this
conversation
point
by
point,
or
are
we
just
looking
for
you
know
qualitative
feedback
at
this
point.
A
A
Useful,
in
addition
to
qualitative
feedback
to
talk
about,
for
instance,
you
know
the
economic
development
category
was
seven
million
dollars,
but
it
seems
based
on
this
presentation
that
the
proposals
for
that
to
be
encompassed
business
district
improvements
as
well
as
workforce
development,
as
well
as
direct
assistance
and
requests
for
funding.
I
think
some
some
guidance
regarding
how
to
how
to
parcel
out
that
7
million
amongst
those
different
priorities
would
be
valuable.
A
C
So
before
I
get
into
economic
development
issues,
I'll
just
make
one
last
hail
mary
for
a
separate
bucket
for
climate
action
and
environmental
justice.
I
really
think
we
can
demonstrate
a
commitment
to
the
carp
plan
that
a
previous
council
has
endorsed
unanimously.
C
I
think
climate
action,
environmental
justice
are
going
to
be
the
issues
of
the
21st
century
and
we
have
an
opportunity
now
to
demonstrate
the
commitment
that
we
all
say
we
have
to
these
issues
by
taking
a
significant
chunk
of
our
money,
and
you
know
and
deserting
designating
that
very
clearly
for
for
those
issues.
C
So
I
will
move
on
now
to
talk
about
economic
development,
picking
up
on
the
concept
of
the
ambassador
program.
I
support
that.
You
know
as
long
as
it
you
know
it.
It
meshes
nicely
with
the
other
programs
that
we
have
going
on.
It's
not
meant
to
replace
it.
It
should
be
complementary.
C
C
I
have
heard
feedback
from
many
constituents
who
are
experiencing
problems
on
a
day-to-day
basis
with
less
than
acceptable
conditions,
less
unacceptable
interactions,
and
considering
that
we
do
have
you
know,
we
do
a
really
good
job
in
evanston
of
supporting
homeless
populations
and
disadvantaged
populations.
A
lot
of
that
happens
very
close
by
to
downtown.
So
we
need
to
be
aware
of
of
you
know
the
side
effect
of
the
good
work,
we're
doing
and
make
sure
that
we
maintain
downtown
as
a
welcoming
destination
to
drive
economic
activity.
C
So
I
support
an
ambassador
program
that
that
works
well
to
support
those
ends.
I,
if
we're
looking
for
qualitative
feedback,
I
support
both
the
ox
and
and
north
flight.
I
support
north
light.
I
will
advocate
for
the
full
two
million
dollars
for
north
light
theater.
You
know,
I
think
they
can
very
clearly
demonstrate
long-term
financial
benefit
not
only
for
downtown
but
all
of
evanston,
so
in
terms
of
a
financial
return
on
investment
of
arpa
money.
Whatever
we
put
into
north
flight
would
be,
would
be
money
very
well
spent.
C
You
know,
in
addition
to
the
economic
arguments
developing
evanston
as
a
center
for
car
culture
and
arts
and
entertainment.
You
know
north
light
is
a
perfect,
is
a
perfect
partner
in
this
endeavor
and
the
more
support
they
get
from
the
city,
the
quicker
we
can
get
them
here
and
we're
gonna
have
a
tough
time
coming
around
the
bend
out
of
our
cove
economy.
So
north
light
can
be.
You
know,
one
of
the
engines
that
drives
that
train.
C
As
far
as
process
we're
making
some
some
good
strides
here
and
defining
that
process,
I
would
like
to
talk
about
a
timeline,
and
you
know
I
support
what
council
member
fleming
said
about
you're,
making
sure
that
the
application
process
is
open
to
other
potential
applicants
and
as
that
means
we
should
probably
define
the
timeline
or
deadline
by
which
you
know
applications
should
be
received,
and
maybe
there
are
two
deadlines.
C
This
is,
you
know
not
necessarily
a
short-term
like
meaning
within
the
next
few
months
program,
but
you
know,
certainly
within
the
next
few
years
we
have
to
spend
this
money.
We
don't
need
to
spend
it
all
at
once,
though
we
could.
We
could
hold
off
six
months
12
months
and
and
hold
off
some
money
for
projects
that
may
may
come
later.
C
Let
you
wrap
up
perfect
timing,
because
I
was
at
the
end
of
my
list.
A
Great
councilmember
burns.
X
I
just
want
to
pick
up
on
that.
We
don't
have
to
spend
it
all
right
now.
I
would
love
for
us
as
a
council
to
especially
in
this
meeting
start
to
identify
some
priorities
and
see
where
there's
consensus
for
those
priorities,
even
before
we
go
out
to
the
community
and
have
them
submit
applications,
because
my
concern
is
like
we,
we
know
as
a
council
action
that
we
need
to
take,
for
instance,
child
care.
X
If
we
all
agree
up
here
that
we
want
to
spend
that
that
child
care
providing
child
care
is
a
priority
of
this
body,
then
we
could
spend
a
session
just
unpacking
like
what
are
the
different
opportunities
that
we
can
explore.
Just
for
child
care
right
get
some
consensus.
There
support
get
some
support
for
it
and
then
through
an
rfp
process.
Once
we
understand
what
we're
looking
for,
then
kick
it
to
the
community
to
say:
hey.
You
know
this.
X
This
is
what
we're
looking
for
in
in
typical
rfp
fashion
and
see
if
people
can
develop
a
proposal
that
fits
what
we're
looking
for
same
thing
for
economic
development.
For
me
personally,
I
would
love
to
see
things
that
are
going
to
directly
lead
to
job
creation,
so
I
talk
a
lot
about
the
lead
pipe
replacement
program,
because
in
the
way
that
I've
discussed
it,
I
think
we
have
support
for
it
because
we
would
be
quarterbacking
it.
X
It
would
directly
lead
to
job
creation,
wouldn't
be
no,
if
fans
much
about
it,
and
I
know
through
nation
nathan,
congratulations.
There
are
some
other
many
other
ideas
that
we
can
come
up
with.
That
will
lead
directly
to
job
creation,
and
so
those
are
the
type
of
conversations
I
would
love
for
this
body
to
have.
Let's
come
out
of
this
meeting,
putting
some
points
on
the
board
in
some
way
and
not
just
leaving
staff
with
with
not
enough
direction
to
go
off
of
let's
say
definitively
today.
X
X
You
know
because
the
issue
is
that
if
we
don't
set
our
priorities,
we
don't
even
know
how
much
that's
going
to
cost,
and
so
we
don't
know
what
we'll
have
left.
So,
if
we
just
say
yeah
we're
going
to
spend
money
on
all
this
stuff
like
we,
I
don't
think
that's
the
best
way
to
do
it,
let's
figure
out
like
what
we
for
sure
want
to
have
in
the
city
of
evanston
and
then
work
our
way
from
there
figure
out
how
much
that's
going
to
cost
and
see
how
much
we
have
left.
X
On
that
same
note,
participatory
budgeting.
I
would
love
to
leave
this
meeting
meeting
today
with
unanimous
support
to
start
that
process
that
is
low,
hanger
fruit.
Again,
it's
it's
a
process.
That's
not
going
to
involve
this
body.
Can
we
please
say
yes
today
we
are
I'm
more
than
happy
to
sit
on
that
committee
or
whatever
the
process
will
be,
but
please,
let's
start
that
process.
That's
all
I
have
thank
you.
AA
Reed,
thank
you
starting
there.
Where
you
left
off.
I
will
also
echo
the
desire
to
get
started
with
the
participatory
budgeting
process.
I
think
that
process
will
take
quite
a
long
time,
and
so
I
think
it
we
should
get
it
started
now.
It'll
be
a
community
driven
process,
but
I
do
think
similar
to
the
way
that
we're
creating
a
redistricting
committee
earlier
or
that
we
created
the
redistricting
committee
it'll
be
a
guiding
committee
for
what
the
public
process
will
look
like.
AA
So
I
am
also
I
made
the
referral
on
this
a
while
ago
and
I'm
I'm
happy
to
serve
on
that
committee
as
well.
AA
I
also
oh
council
member
nusma.
I
don't
know
if
that
was
a
hail
mary
or
a
hail
motion,
but
I'd
certainly
be
willing
to
support
that
if
it
were
I'd,
be
willing
to
make
the
motion
myself
to
create
that
separate
fund
for
our
carp
goals.
I
think
that
is
necessary
and
so
I'll
move
that
I
mean.
I
I
think
what
I
heard
mayor
best
say
earlier
is
that
it
seems
as
though
we
have.
AA
Locked
in
on
the
buckets
which
I
don't
really
well,
not
that
I
I
know
we
haven't
taken
an
official
for
my
recollection.
We
haven't
taken
an
official
action
on
locking
in
those
buckets
and
so
I'd
love
for
us
to
do
that.
Take
an
official
council
action
at
some
point
to
to
really
lock
in
those
buckets.
If
that's
the
way
that
we're
going
to
do
this,
and
certainly
I
would
also
echo
seeing
that
one
point
at
least
one
point:
five
million
that
councilman
renusma
is
recommending
for
tarp,
secondly
or
whatever.
AA
Third,
I
guess
our
our
neighbors
to
the
south
border,
my
ward
chicago
as
a
part
of
their
budgeting
process
and
arpa
expenditures
have
made
a
historic
investment
in
affordable
housing
with
with
with
their
money.
I
think
I
would
also
highly
support
that
I
think
the
increase
in
in
violence
in
not
only
our
community
but
across
the
nation.
AA
I
think
the
you
know
we're
hearing
about
what
what
appears
to
be
an
increase
in
in
carjackings
and
all
kinds
of
you
know,
crimes
of
those
sort-
and
I
think,
there's
a
direct
correlation,
not
even
there's
a
direct.
AA
I
would
posit
there's
a
direct
connection
between
the
economic
turmoil
that
we've
experienced
over
the
last
roughly
two
years
with
kovid
and
this
increase
in
crime,
and
so
I
think
we
really
need
to
really
buckle
down
and
get
into
the
the
get
get
this
money
flowing
to
the
folks
who
really
need
it
most
and
and
start
moving
toward
whether
it's
affordable,
housing
or
or
other
child
care,
I
think,
is
a
a
huge
one.
AA
I
think
these
things
will
really
make
a
difference
in
our
community
in
in,
and
we
can
see
an
immediate
impact
so
I'll
be
advocating
for
those
things
as
well.
Thank
you
I'll.
Second,.
C
A
So
I
I
I
want
to
first
just
express
a
certain
amount
of
discomfort,
given
the
amount
of
public
justified
and,
in
fact,
desired.
Public
scrutiny
on
this
arpa
topic,
with
the
notion
of
taking
votes
and
and
binding
action
on
a
night
that
the
item's
on
the
agenda
for
discussion.
That's
just
my
own
opinion.
I
recognize
the
motion
still
in
order,
but
I
just
I
would
just
caution
this
to
to
promise
that
we're
having
a
discussion
and
then
start
taking
binding
votes.
A
But
if
you
want
to
go
ahead,
can
you
is
the
motion
to
adjust
the
buckets
by
creating
a
new
bucket
for
carp
and
environmental
justice?
That
would
be
a
million
and
a
half
dollars?
And
if
so,
what
bucket
or
buckets
does
that
come
from.
AA
Yeah
councilman
newsman-
I
think
I
already
laid
some
of
this
out,
but
I
think
part
of
it
would
come
from
the
revenue
that
where
we
would
recoup
some
of
the
lost
revenue,
I
mean
councilmember
nussma.
This
is
I'm
just.
C
The
numbers
in
front
of
us
are
changed
from
where
I
had
originally
the
buckets
that
I
was
originally
looking
at.
So
we'd
have
to
take
a
few
minutes
to
to
do
that.
Work.
AA
Yeah
and-
and
if
I
can
say
I
I
you
know,
I
do
realize
that
this
is
for
discussion
and
I
think
is
your
comments
seem
to
acknowledge.
It's
certainly
not
an
open
meetings
act
issue
to
do
this,
but
I
I
do
think
you
know
we've
had
a
lot
of
discussion
on
arpa
and
I
think
we
we
haven't,
really
had
arka
ever
up
for
action
and
I
think
we
have
to
start
actually
making
some
official
moves
on
this,
because
the
clock
keeps
tick
ticking.
A
As
I
indicated
this,
the
motions
in
order,
I'm
not
personally
comfortable
with,
I
think
we
write
for
discussion
on
our
agendas,
not
as
a
open
meetings,
act
compliance
but
as
a
act
of
good
faith
to
the
community
and
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
the
what
this
would
mean.
In
light
of
that.
But.
C
AA
To
me,
there
wouldn't
be
much
of
a
difference.
I
think
we
should
just
start
making
official
actions
on
this
stuff,
but
I
I
hear
your
concern
mayor
biss,
but
this
is
locking
in
a
framework
this
isn't
you
know
we're
not
saying
that
we're
going
to
spend
a
million
dollars
tonight.
I
think
that
would
be
an
issue
of
you
know,
violating
maybe
public
trust,
but
just
setting
up
the
system.
AA
AA
A
AA
Yeah
and
I'll
I'll
just
say
that
I
I
I
hear
that
I
think
that
you
know
taking
action
formally.
Here
I
mean
I,
I
support
councilmember
newsma's
proposal
for
the
upper
bucket.
I
think
if
we
were
to
vote
or
do
some
kind
of
official
action
here,
there
would
be
support
for
it,
and
so
the
fact
that
that
didn't
make
it
into
the
proposal
this
time,
even
though
we
went
through
that
other
process,
I
think
it's
evidence
that
we
need
to
do
things
here.
AA
Officially
take
votes,
so
it's
clear
it's
crystal
clear
what
our
direction
is.
E
I
just
want
to
what
it's
worth.
I
had
my
two
cents,
which
may
or
may
not
be
helpful,
but
I
hope
that
it
is
in
some
ways.
This
is
not
like
the
budget
where
we
need
to
have
something:
solidified
buckets
solidified
numbers
absolute,
because
we
still
have
the
possibility,
although
I
hope
and
pray
that
it
doesn't
happen,
that
we
have
a
horrible
revenue
loss
next
year
or
the
year
after
and
we
have
to
totally
reallocate.
And
so,
if
we
take
action
on
the
buckets
and
vote
lock
ourselves
in,
then
we
leave
ourselves
with
less
fluidity.
E
E
I
think
it's
it's
on
the
forefront
of
our
minds
and
it's
also
going
into
the
strategic
and
comprehensive
plan.
So
it's
it's
going
to
be
in
all
things
that
we
do.
I
understand
the
need
and
desire
for
it.
I
just
would,
as
a
staff
from
a
staff
perspective,
would
caution
the
council
and
tying
your
hands
at
this
moment
in
time.
AA
If
I
can
wrap
up
I
I
would
say
that
I
I
I
appreciate
that
thought
I
I
don't
think
we'd
be
tying
our
hands
in
that
we
are
the
council.
We
can
change
our
mind
any
point,
and
you
know
with
a
resolution
and
with
a
simple
you
know
another
vote
to
change
what
we
want
to
do.
We
can
certainly
change
any
allocations.
I
think
it
just
makes
it
official.
It
makes
it
more
transparent,
it
puts
it
out
to
the
community
hey.
AA
These
are
our
solid
intentions
and
if
we're
going
to
vary
from
these
intentions,
you
know
there
will
be
some
kind
of
formal
action
to
demonstrate
to
you
that
we
are
deciding
to
change
our
course
of
action.
So
that's
my
final
thought
on
that.
Thank
you.
X
You
know,
I'm
not
sure
all
carp
actions
that
we
would
want
to
take
are
even
eligible
are
for
arpa
funds,
and
so
to
me
this
goes
right
back
to
what
I
was
saying
about
priorities.
I
think
if
we
establish
climate
action
resiliency
as
a
as
a
as
a
priority,
then
we
can
work
with
staff
to
clearly
define
what
we
want
to
do
and
how
much
going
back
to
how
much
it
costs
and
we
can
better
determine
how
we
want
to
what
existing
buckets.
X
We
want
to
reallocate
funds
in
order
to
support
that
work
again
and
I'm
ready
to
make
you
know,
motions
on
priorities.
I
I
think
we're
ready.
We've
we've
talked
about
this
a
lot,
and
I
know,
even
just
from
looking
at
the
work
from
our
social
services
committee,
that
mental
expanding
access
to
mental
health
care
is
a
priority
and
I'm
just
ready
to
make.
X
X
Y
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
we
have
approximately
five
slides
left
that
address.
Some
of
the
concerns
have
been
brought
up
in
this
dialogue
and
also
incorporating
some
of
the
climate
action
resilience
planning
conversation,
and
I
don't
know
if
we
want
to
continue
that
yeah.
A
Let's,
let's
not
it,
you
make
a
good
point
that
any
any
action
we
might
want
to
take
should
the
category
that's
been
discussed
recently
should
follow
the
whole
presentation.
So
let
me
go
back
to
you
with
a
question
of
my
own.
I
think
what
we
saw
today
is
a
really
important
step
in
the
right
direction.
A
G
A
Because
it
seems
to
me
that
the
goal
shouldn't
be
to
pick
the
programs
that
check
as
many
boxes
as
possible.
The
goal
should
be
to
pick
the
programs
that
move
the
ball
down
the
field
as
far
as
possible,
and
you
know
I
think,
when
it
comes
to
workforce
development,
it's
probably
not
a
great
mystery
as
councilmember
burns
indicates.
A
The
number
of
jobs
for
evans
residents
that
are
a
direct
result
of
the
program
is
a
natural
metric,
but
when
it
comes
to
things
like
business,
district
improvements
and
and
other
other
things
that
have
been
discussed
already,
I
think
we
need
to
understand
the
metrics
that
will
be
utilized
to
evaluate
different
potential
expenditures.
And
so
I
was
wondering
if
you
can
say
a
word
about
the
thinking
on
that.
Subject.
Sure.
Y
If
I
can
go
back
to
so,
I
don't
know
if
I
should
start
with
the
matrix
or
if
I
should
be
starting
with
with
you
know
my
my
thoughts
on
why
I
would
prioritize
business
district
improvements
or
any
of
the
four
four
items
I
placed
up
here,
but
very
specifically,
the
the
reason
I'm
so
focused
as
an
economic
development
manager
on
the
the
built
environment
is
because
that's
the
canvas
from
which
our
our
business
community
operates
and
right
now
we
know
based
on
feedback
we've
received
from
small
business
and
also
some
of
the
larger
businesses.
Y
Is
that
we're
not
looking
as
good
as
we
possibly
could,
and
that's
really
kind
of
impacting
either
employer
employee
engagement
or,
more
importantly,
visitors
to
the
community?
Y
And
we
what
what
we've
heard
a
lot
and
I
hate
using
this
example?
But
it's
it's
it's.
I
think
an
illustrative
one.
People
really
like
what
they
see
at
that
intersection
in
moment
that
one
little
village
intersection
with
umbrellas
lights
and
people
and
the
only
reason
they
like
it-
is
it's
because
it's
clean,
it's
green,
there's,
an
ac,
there's
an
active
environment
and
people
want
to
be
there
really.
What
that
is
is
place
making
and
what
that
is.
Is
business
district
infrastructure
application.
Y
So
why
I'm
stressing
this
from
from
economic
development
perspective
is
that
I
really
do
believe
we're
at
a
transition
point
our
our
downtown
infrastructure
and
picking
out
downtown,
because
I
already
know
we're
fixing
main
street
we've
got
a
tiff
plan
in
place
and
howard
street
just
had
a
streetscape
improvement,
but
downtown
outside
of
fountain
square
has
the
last
time
it
went
through.
A
revitalization
kind
of
reinvention
phase
was
in
the
late
90s
and
it's
showing
its
age.
There
are
more
and
more
people
on
the
streets.
Y
Now
there
are
more
more
people
living
in
downtown
evanston,
there's
30
000
people
who
work
here
on
a
daily
basis,
so
there
are
literally
more
people
not
during
the
pandemic,
but
during
pre-pandemic
times
with
the
university
and
our
downtown
2
million
square
feet
of
office
space.
We
have
roughly
30
000
people
who
come
to
work
in
evanston
daily
within
within
a
mile
of
that
downtown
intersection
of
church
and
sherman
or
half
a
mile.
Y
So
the
point
is
we
have
to
do
some
things
I
believe
to
compete
with
our
shopping
center
competition
over
at
old
orchard
and
other
communities
that
have
figured
this
out
they've
caught
up.
So
it's
our
time
to
to
reinvent
and
that's
that's,
why
I'm
stressing
all
these
kind
of
listen,
I'm
an
economic
development
manager
for
the
city
and-
and
I
hate.
Y
That
I'm
a
planner,
but
I
am
I'm
an
urban
planner.
I
have
that
experience
and
we
use
wonky
terms
like
place
making
and
when
you're
dealing
with
43
million
dollars
using
the
word
place.
Making
just
doesn't
feel
like
it's
there's
gravitas
to
that,
but
it's
really
important
that
we
we
make
our
downtowns.
So
how
would
I
measure
that?
Mr
mayor,
I
think
it's
number
of
new
visitors.
Y
Let's
talk
about
sales
tax
increases.
Are
our
parking
garages
full
there's
a
lot
of
ways
that
we
can?
We
can
track
that,
but
right
now,
there's
there's
some
work
we
need
to
do.
I
mean
we
need
to
the
ambassador
program:
would
help
identify
cleaning
up
of
broken
up
lights
that
are
up
that
are
sitting
in
the
landscape
beds.
Y
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
do
myself
a
disservice,
I'm
supposed
to
be
promoting
the
community,
but
I'm
highlighting
these
issues
that
are
challenges.
You
know,
rat
nests
in
these
landscape
beds,
plywood
boards
attached
to
street
signs.
So
there's
like
there's
a
lot
that
we
can
do
from
an
urban
design
standpoint
a
place
making
standpoint
and
we
can
definitely
add
some
for
the
next
round
of
conversation
or
even
if
we
go
back
to
committee
with
request,
we
can
put
something
in
our
rubric
that
addresses
those
kinds
of
things.
AC
Wayne,
yes,
thank
you
matt,
mr
mayor.
First,
on
placemaking,
I
I
completely
agree
with
mr
salmosack.
I
mean
this
is
something
that
there
are
conferences
about.
There
are
books
written
about
it.
I've
been.
A
I'm
sorry
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
I
me
too,
I'm
not
okay,
because
my
comments
are
not
intended
as
a
criticism
at
all
they're,
just
intended
as
a
a
call
to
action
to
ensure
that
we're
spending
what
will
ultimately
still
be
a
limited
amount
of
money
on
this
important
topic
in
the
most
efficient
way
possible.
AC
AC
We
discussed
at
economic
development
what
we
should,
how
we
should
analyze
various
projects
as
they
come
forward,
so
that
we
are
actually
comparing
apples
to
apples
and
are
they
actually
meeting
our
proposals
actually
meeting
our
goals
and
so
what?
What
is
a
fair
way
to
look
at
different
proposals
as
they
come
in
and
what
are
our
values
and
how
do
we
make
sure
our
values
and
things
that
are
our
goals
are
actually
being
addressed
by
the
various
projects
that
are
coming
in?
AC
So
at
the
committee
meeting,
we
discussed
having
some
kind
of
matrix
so
that
one
project
could
be
fairly
looked
at
it
versus
another
project
or
versus
a
another
or
against
our
own
goals,
so
that
it
isn't
simply-
and
I've
been
on
the
council
long
enough
to
see
this
happen.
An
emotional
plea
that
gets
that
has
the
most
the
best
emotional
plea
that
gets
money
from
the
council
so
but
doesn't
necessarily
meet
the
goals
that
we
have
or
want
at
a
particular
time.
AC
So
you
know
a
matrix
is
not
necessarily
a
you
know:
cold
document,
it's
actually
here,
jobs
created.
You
know
the
various
aspects
evanston
residents
served.
How
does
this
meet
the
goals
that
we
have
and
that
way?
So,
even
though
you
have
very
different
proposals
that
come
in
if
they
both
score
well
or
if
five
of
them
score
very
well
on
this
or
meet
our
goals,
then
we
can
say:
yes,
we
fairly
analyze
these
in
a
way
that
we
could
actually
compare
them
and
then
justify
to
the
public.
AC
We
chose
this
and
this
and
this
because
they
were
addressing
the
goals
that
we
had
so
so
I
that
that
maybe
I
also
may
have
misheard
you
about
the
a
rubric
or
matrix,
but
I
think
that's
the
only
way
we
can
move
forward
and
have
the
public
trust
us
with
this
and
create
the
transparency
it's
like
this
is
what
our
goals
were.
Here's
how
we
looked
at
this
program.
AC
Here's
the
information
we
asked
them
to
present
to
us
just
like
with
our
cdbg
money.
We
asked
them.
You
know
over
the
all
these
grant
applicants.
You
know
you
must
demonstrate
to
us
improvement
who
you
served.
You
know
how
you
what
new
programs
you
brought
in
all
of
these
things
that
we
have
done
year
after
year
with
cdbg
money
so
that
we
can
look
at
various
programs
and
say
here's
here
are
the
ones
that
deserve
our
money
because
they
meet
our
goals.
AC
AC
Y
I
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
I
took
your
recommendation
as
a
challenge
and
and
we'll
we'll
work
to
make
sure
that
we
apply
an
evaluation
process
to
the
softer
things,
because
it
is
it's
hard
it's
hard
and
you
came
and
during
the
summer
it
was.
It
was
a
real
boost
to
the
economic
development
community
to
have
you
come
and
talk
about
place,
making
we're
talking
about
sitting
outside
at
fountain
square,
and
things
like
that.
So
I
know
it's
important
to
you,
but
I
do
think
we.
G
Y
There's
more
to
this
matrix,
these
came
out
of
the
committee
we'll
have
we
have
weights
associated
with
them,
but
that's
it
and
I
don't
know
if
we
should
invite
sarah
up
to
to
yeah.
So
sarah,
do
you
want
to
come
up
and
start
your
social
services
sliding?
Do
you
want
me
to.
X
Having
that
conversation,
we
have
existing
city
programming
as
well
as
future
programming,
job
training
programming
that
we
have
not
clearly
defined,
how
we're
going
to
train
people
to
do
that
work
and
where
the
funds
are
going
to
come
from,
and
I
feel
like
that.
Those
are
things
that
we
can
act
on
right
now,
while
we're
still
trying
to
better
understand
what
improvements
we
should
make
in
place.
Making
we
talk
about
it
all
the
time
we
just
made
a
wonderful
promotion
with
nathan.
X
I
made
a
referral
for
local
hiring
to
municipal
jobs
that
I
don't
think
his
weight
made
his
way
to
committee.
So
you
know
through
working
with
paul
and
nathan.
I
think
we
should.
We
can
take
action
on
that.
So
I
would
love
to
see
you
start
to
prioritize
some
of
these
things
that
we
can
work
start
working
on
now.
Thank.
Y
You,
if,
if
I'm
directed
by
the
city
council,
to
help
prioritize
that
I
I
will
do
that
really
briefly,
it
really
depends
on
are.
Are
you
trying
to
grow?
Are
you
trying
to
reduce
unemployment?
Are
you
trying
to
grow
jobs?
Are
you
trying
to
grow
revenue
for
the
city?
Are
you
focused
on
reducing
carbon?
It's
probably
yes
to
all
those
things.
So
how
do
you?
How
do
you
prioritize?
Y
Are
you?
Are
you
trying
to
increase
the
number
of
visitors?
Are
you
trying
to
increase
the
number
of
workers
or
sorry
of
residents,
so
I
think
we
could
start
having
the
dialogue,
but
I
believe
that,
based
on
my
experience
thus
far,
there
is
not
a
consensus
on
what
how
we
want
to
prioritize.
What's
most
important,
we
learned
something
about
social
help
me
out,
council,
member,
amusement
social.
C
Y
Social
return
on
investment
right
so
so
that's
a
whole
nother
layer
of
roi
that
we
we
haven't
discussed
yet,
but
I
do
think
in
january
26
we
could
have
a
deeper
dive
conversation
and
I,
from
my
perspective,
is
economic
development.
I
can
discuss
that,
but
it's
not
going
to
to
match
up
necessarily
with
what
miss
flax
will
talk
about.
I
mean.
X
X
We
can
make
some
of
those
determinations
based
on
a
set
criteria
about
what
our
goals
are.
What
our
priorities
are.
That's
a
good
first
step.
Let's
not
put
that
off
on
organizations.
Let's,
let's
do
that
work
here,
we're
elected,
I
think,
to
do
that.
Work
staff
is
prepared
in
position
to
do
that.
Work
with
us.
So,
however,
we
can
get
something
back,
that
some
type
of
assignment
that
we
can
do
as
a
body
to
help
us
then
kick
something
out
to
the
community
that
that's
what
I
believe
we
should.
We
should
do
next.
V
V
So
I
said
this
in
the
beginning,
just
using
looking
at
the
economic
development
and
I'm
going
to
keep
that
slide
up
there,
because
I
think
it's
important
to
see-
and
I
said
this
before,
like
so
three
pillars
of
economic
development-
that
we
all
know
and
understand
is
it's
business
retention,
expansion
and
attraction
are
the
typical
traditional
areas
that
we'd
look
to
fund
and
I
think
for
both
of
both
the
ox
that
we've
seen
on
the
slide,
as
well
as
north
light.
Those
are
big
impact
projects
that
are
are
shelf
ready.
V
They
didn't
just
drop
out
of
the
sky.
These
both
organizations,
both
not-for-profits,
have
been
having
these
discussions
over
the
past
year
and
with
traditional
economic
development,
and
I've
said
this
in
the
past.
It
depends
on
what
kind
of
business
and
where
are
you
using
it
and
paul
you've
indicated
in
the
last
slide.
We
use
tools
like
cbdg
tiff
economic
development
buckets.
I
wrote
this
down
so,
for
example,
whether
it's
facade
improvement
or
whatever
entrepreneur
grant.
These
are
all
tools
that
we
have
self-defined
proven
track
record,
so
we
don't
have
to
recreate
the
wheel.
V
So
at
the
end,
now
that
we
have
this
seven
million
dollars
of
economic
development
funds,
for
our
part,
the
arpa
just
becomes
another
funding
mechanism.
It's
not
a
a
reason
for
us
to
recreate
something.
It's
just
another
budget
for
us
to
pull
from
for
large
impact
projects
like
the
ox
like
the
like
the
north
light
theater.
So
if
we're
looking
to
take
action,
if
we're
looking
to
take
action,
then
I
want
to
say
at
our
next
economic
development
reason.
We
don't
need
to
talk
about
it.
V
V
I
V
V
C
A
So,
council,
member
braithwaite
moves
that
the
ox
and
north
flight
are
on
the
january.
26Th
economic
development
committee
agenda
council,
member
nussma
seconds
so
council,
members,
burns
and
reed
are
requesting
to
speak
on
this.
Both
are
out
of
time.
This.
X
V
X
X
Then
we
consider
okay,
what
are
all
the
things
that
we
can
do
that
that
that
helps
us
achieve
that
priority
and
incomes,
north
light
and
aux,
and
maybe
even
some
other
proposals
right
and
then
because
in
the
way,
even
councilmember
new
small
suggested?
This
would
then
go
to
a
committee
economic
development
committee.
X
We
would
say:
hey
we're
seeking
proposals
that
are
going
to
help
towards
retention,
expansion
and
attraction,
two
of
those
proposals
right
being
both
the
aux
and
north
flight,
but
we're
also
accepting
others
and
then
that's
when
the
committee
will
come
into
play
and
vote
on
it
right,
like
even
using
that
model.
X
We
still
there's
something
missing
here
where
we
haven't
decided.
What
is
our
priority?
Is
it
job
creation,
which
is
what
I'm
really
passionate
about
getting
people
employed
yesterday
or
coming
up
with
the
infrastructure
to
do
that?
Or
is
it
retention,
expansion
and
attraction?
We
haven't
made
that
decision
as
a
full
council.
Yet
that's
what
I
want
to
try
to
do.
It's
all
of
the
above
right.
X
Real
quick
that
right
there
that
you
just
said
is
3
million.
It
can't
be
all
of
the
above,
because
we
only
have
7
million
for
it
respectfully.
So
we
know
at
the
end
of
your
idea
we're
going
to
have
right,
3
million
less
dollars
for
that
particular
bucket.
I
understand
we
want
to
do
everything,
but
we
don't
have
everything
money
right.
So
then
we
do
the
math
and
say:
okay,
let's
subtract
three
million
dollars
from
it
now.
X
A
All
right
all
right,
so
I
think
councilmember
braithwaite
wants
to
respond.
Paul
wants
to
speak
and
councilman
will
be
next
after
that.
AD
From
cdbg
really
minimal,
we
have,
we
right
now
have
75
000
that
we
haven't
been
using,
but
our
biggest
single
cdbg
economic
development
loan
was
130
000.
AD
Ago,
but
we
have
for
cdbg
it's
a
really
good
example
of
measurable
outcomes.
You
either
have
to
create
or
retain
jobs
or
you
have
to
assist,
and
this
is
where
the
equity
thing
can
come
in
micro,
especially
low
and
moderate
income
micro
enterprises
to
be
able
to
get
their
businesses
going.
D
AD
V
Yeah
so
I'll
make
the
real
point,
mr
mayor,
and
then
we
can
move
forward
because
there's
something
in
the
floor.
So
when
businesses
come,
they
come
right.
Businesses
come
all
sizes,
all
different
forms,
all
different
uses
like
that's
the
marketplace
right,
so
we
don't.
In
the
past,
we
haven't,
sat
on
our
hands
and
waited
for
a
bunch
of
businesses
to
come
through
the
door
to
then
evaluate
them
and
then
vote
on
them.
They
come
as
they
come
based
on
opportunities
that
people
have
been
working
on.
V
So
the
only
thing
that
I'm
trying
to
stress
here
is
that
we
have
businesses
that
have
a
track
record
that
have
been
in
the
hopper
for
quite
some
time,
and
I
hope
that
we
have
others
to
come,
but
this
impact
fund
and
the
need
is
now.
I
I
just
want
to
cut
through
the
the
bureaucracy
of
we're
waiting
for
something
else
before
we
take
action
on
these
businesses,
because
they
both
have
a
timeline
and
a
sense
of
urgency.
V
V
I
can
say
that
I
think
at
the
economic
development
meeting
you
will
recall
that
they
are
looking
at
a
multiple
funds
to
get
to
their
seven
million
dollars,
which
include
looking
at
our
partnership
with
cook,
county
and
other
governmental,
all
the
things
that
you
see
on
there,
so
I
don't
want
to
get
into
the
weeds
now.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
talking
about
it
at
the
january
26
meeting,
it's
not
a
vote
tonight.
AA
Yeah,
so
I
to
to
the
specific
motion,
I
guess
it
seems
like
this
emotion
places
on
the
agendas,
the
special
order
of
business
to
actually
approve
the
allocations
for,
or
is
that?
What
you're
suggesting
that
we're
putting
on
the
agenda
to
prove
for
the
26th.
AA
AA
V
Clear
as
well,
making
it
clear
to
the
businesses
to
make
sure
that
they
do
their
outreach.
So
after
economic
development
committee
meeting
they
will
come
before
council
it's
a
statement,
whatever
action
or
course
makes
sense
to
everyone.
I'm
just
making
a
very
clear
statement
that
it's
going
to
happen.
That's
it
okay,.
AA
Well,
I
I
agree
that
I
think
we
need
to
well
one
I'll,
just
say
that
if
this
is
just
to
put
on
the
agenda
for
economic
development,
which
was
unclear
that
it's
not
appropriate
for
the
council
you're,
the
chair
of
economic
development,
just
put
it
on,
you
can
state
hey.
AA
This
is
what
we're
going
to
do,
but
as
far
as
the
actual
you
know
matter
at
hand,
I
I
tend
to
side
with
councilmember
burns
in
that
I
think
we,
you
know
this,
isn't
the
regular
economic
development
or
budgeting
process
where
we
would
take
things-
and
you
know
I
support
some
of
the
things
that
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
economic
development,
but
this
isn't-
and
this
is
something
I
think
councilman
benusmus
also
brought
up
this.
AA
AA
And
I
think
we
need
to
really
understand,
but
keep
that
in
mind
and
keep
that
at
forefront.
You
know
I
don't
want
to
discuss
the
merits
of
any
of
the
two
particular
projects.
Now
I
mean
we
can
certainly
do
that
at
economic
development,
but
I
think,
looking
at
some
of
these
projects
in
totality
makes
a
whole
lot
of
sense,
particularly
as
you
know,
as
I've
tried
to
illustrate
before
the
the
funding
that
we're
receiving.
If
we
were
to,
you
know,
scale
this
down
to
our
own
personal
lives,
and
you
know
scale.
A
AA
A
Okay,
so
so
councilmember
braithwaite,
we
can
I
I'd
space
that
you're
the
chair
of
the
committee
anyhow.
So
certainly
you
don't
need
a
vote
of
the
city
council
to
put
an
agenda.
V
Item
on
your
own
committee's
agenda-
and
I
said
either
or
referral
or
for
action,
but
I
wanted
to
answer
the
particular
concern
so
now
that
everybody's
aware,
council
ever
knew
smith,
I
mean
we
can
you
can
withdraw
or
we
can
move
forward.
I'm
we're
just
making
it
clear
that
we're
going
to
vote
and
move
on
it.
Yeah.
D
Y
In
this
presentation,
if,
if
I
may
mr
mayor
and
then
I
will,
I
promise
you,
I
will
pass
to
to
miss
flax
to
respond
to
something
councilmember
byrne
said
at
the
bottom
of
this
matrix.
These
are
the
city
council
goals
from
2019-2020,
okay,
right.
AB
Y
AA
A
So
at
this
time,
council
member
braithwaite
is
out
of
time.
Council
member
wynn
has
a
minute
30
left
council
member
nusm
is
out
of
time.
Council
member
burns
is
out
of
time.
Councilman
remember
suffering,
has
five
minutes
left
council
member
ravel
has
four
minutes
and
30
seconds
left
council
member
reed
is
out
of
time
and
council.
Member
fleming
has
two
minutes
left.
AA
I
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
suspend
the
the
time
rule
today
I
mean
we're
talking
about
arpa.
This
is
you
know,
a
huge
discussion.
Almost
everyone
here
is
out
of
time.
So
I'd
like
to
move
to
spin
the
rule
to
allow
for
more
than
five
minutes
on
discussion
on.
You
know
we're
going
through
economic
development,
social
services.
This
is
a
huge
discussion.
If
we're
taking
this
whole
thing
and
saying
you.
AB
AB
A
So,
council
member
reid,
moves
to
the
five-minute
clock.
As
we
sat
at
each
section,
I'm
not
totally
sure
if
I
know
how
to
define
sections.
A
D
A
AD
Thank
you,
mayor
beth,
social
services
is
one
of
our
categories
and
we
are
recommending
that
we
focus
on
and
determine
the
best
ways
forward
on
three
key
areas:
mental
health,
with
the
focus
being
on
a
living
room.
We
are
working
with
other
services
that,
for
example,
that
council
member
fleming
noted
the,
which
is
the
mobile
response
teams,
and
they
are
looking
forward
to
having
a
living
room
type
facility
to
be
able
to
direct
people
in
crisis
to
or
to
prevent
people
from
getting
into
crisis.
AD
And
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
important
is
we
can
fund
the
upfront
capital
costs
with
arpa,
but
we
also
need
to
make
sure
of
sustaining
funds,
whether
it
comes
from
the
city
or
hopefully
from
somebody
else
like
the
illinois
department
of
public
health.
So
that
is
really
what
we
are
recommending
for.
The
mental
health
effort
right
now
continuing
to
focus
on
where
to
put
a
living
room
and
with
what
partners,
but
also
then
how
to
get
long-term
funding
for
it.
AD
And
you
know:
austin
just
got
one
with
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
budget,
so
I
think
that's
a
good
place
to
start
child
care.
We've
heard
a
lot
from
our
child
care
providers,
and
this
is
actually
a
category
where
we
really
do
have
to
work
together
across
our
silos
or
our
buckets,
because
we
absolutely
need
to
help
our
child
care
providers
get
back
on
their
feet
and
you've
heard
some
very
eloquent
details
from
child
care
providers.
AD
There
are
some
things.
For
example,
state
of
illinois
came
out
with
some
help,
that's
all
coming
through
arpa
or
earlier
funding,
but
one
of
the
organ
one
of
the
levels
of
child
care
that
has
gotten
virtually
no
help
is
part
day.
Child
care,
centers
and
also
our
small
home
child
care.
Centers
have
not
gotten
as
much
assistance
and
those
are
critical.
AD
We
continue
to
explore
other
sources
for
that
funding
too.
Just
came
out
email
from
the
state
with
more
money
for
child
care
workers
to
get
scholarships.
So
again,
even
after
we
fund
something
in
some
cases,
we
may
end
up
finding
that
there's
something
else
come
up
and
if
we
see
that
we're
going
to
try
to
take
advantage
of
it,
but
we've
got
to
get
into
the
weeds
on
it.
So
we
can
come
back
with
a
more
official
recommendation
to
you,
the
latinx,
welcoming
center.
I
think
this
is
really
critical.
AD
This
is
something
that
we've
been
talking
about:
the
needs
of
our
latino
community
and
our
immigrant
communities
overall,
but
this
is
something
that
we
know
from
our
own
experience
of
putting
together
a
fund
specifically
for
undocumented
people,
that
we
got
very
little
response
to
when
it
was
housed
here
at
the
city
that
we
have
to
do
more
to
reach
out
to
this
community,
and
I've
got
a
very
enthusiastic
group
of
people
who
want
to
work
with
us
on
that
and
again,
I
think
opportunity
for
long
ongoing,
operating
support
through
other
sources,
which
is
critical.
AD
One
section
in
a
very
short
period
of
time:
that's
good,
affordable
housing.
This
is
another
one
where
we
cannot.
I
could
take
all
43
million
and
spend
it
on
affordable
housing,
and
we
still
would
need
more,
and
we
clearly
can't
do
that.
So
we're
recommending
four
approaches.
One
is
we
have
to
see
who
is
going
to
be
fundable
through
ida
for
low-income
housing,
tax
credits
before
we
try
to
make
any
allocations
on
specific
housing
projects?
AD
There
are
some
applications
that
have
been
put
in
for
the
preliminary
project
assessment,
which
is
what
you
have
to
get
through
ida
before
you
can
apply
for
nine
percent
tax
credits.
That
information
will
be,
who
is
moving
forward
will
be
determined
in
the
middle
of
december.
AD
Most
of
these
projects
are
going
to
be
someplace
in
the
neighborhood
of
25
million
dollar
total
budget
give
or
take
I
mean
that's
what
most
of
tax
credit
things
are
going
in
at
least
historically,
we
tend
to
get
requests
from
about
a
million
five
to
two
and
a
half
million
of
what's
known
as
soft
money
in
the
housing
world,
and
that
is
the
money
that
makes
tax
credit
projects
work
because
tax
credits
never
pay
for
it
all,
and
local
funding
and
local
commitment
is
a
key
thing
in
getting
arpa.
AD
Not
excuse
me
ida
approval,
because
otherwise
everybody
asks
them
for
the
soft
money
too.
So
that's
the
process
on
those
that
we're
recommending
affordable,
resilient
housing
retrofit.
AD
We
had
this
great
partners
for
places
grant
and
we
have
a
proposal
that
was
developed
by
center
for
neighborhood
technologies
that
I'm
meeting
with
cara
next
week
and
some
other
people
on.
How
can
we
implement
this?
The
whole
goal
of
this
is
to
improve
the
both
the
energy
efficiency
and
the
climate
resiliency
of
our
our
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing.
AD
If
you
will-
and
I
think
that's
a
key
thing
for
carp
and
also
for
our
equity-
because
these
are
the
people
who
have
the
worse
health
outcomes
and
things
like
that,
because
their
housing
is
contributing
to
that
so
that
again
I
think
it's
really
important,
but
I
don't
have
a
specific
amount
to
ask
you
for
right.
Now.
We've
got
to
get
into
the
weeds
on
that.
We
have
other
sources
that
we
want
to
layer
in
there,
which
could
be
cdbg
we're
talking
to
ceta.
AD
If
we
can
shake
loose
weatherization,
we
may
get
lead
grant
from
the
from
cook
county.
If
we
can
layer
this
funding,
we
can
do
way
more
than
we
can
do
if
we
just
use
arba
so
again,
a
lot
more
work,
but
I
think
for
a
really
good
cause:
assistance
for
small
local
landlords,
you've
heard
from
two
of
our
small
local
landlords.
AD
I
really
believe
we
need
to
put
together
a
little
task
force
and
we've
talked
about
that,
potentially
being
a
task
force
that
already
in
the
housing
and
community
development
committee.
I
think
that's
critical
because
they
do
have
needs
there
are
certain
needs.
We
can't
fund-
and
there
are
other
needs
we
can,
and
we
have
to
work
out
how
we
can
do
that
permanent
24
7
shelter.
We
know
that's
a
need
too
again.
This
is
an
area
I
have
been
on
a
series
of
calls
with
the
continuum
of
care.
AD
We
cannot
fund
this
by
ourselves
and
it
is
something
that
the
continuum
of
care
has
been
talking
to
both
the
state
and
the
county
about
the
needs
of
the
entire
continuum.
We
need
to
work
with
them
all
and
figure
out
how
our
funding
we
have
this
home
arp,
which
is
more
likely
to
be
what
staff
would
recommend
than
plain
old
arp
the
because
that
is
very
much
targeted,
specifically
to
address
homeless
needs
can
be
used
for
shelter,
which
is
something
you
can
never
use
normal
home
for,
and
they
also
have
this
just
really.
AD
It's
true
home
very
arcane
way
that
you
can
fund
the
development
of
new
units,
but
because
the
people
you
have
to
serve
these
qualified
tenants
are
basically
homeless
people
you're
going
to
need
the
equivalent
of
project-based
support.
If
you
can't
get
project-based
support,
you
can
put
together
a
fund.
That
is
a
reserve
fund
that
subsidizes
the
operating.
Well,
that's
a
neat
theory,
but
when
you
have
a
million
three,
you
can't
really
do
that
by
yourself.
AD
So
again,
how
do
we
layer
that,
in
with
another
larger
project
or
how
do
we
use
it
for
shelter,
so
no
decisions,
but
what
I'm
hoping
to
get
is
that
you
think
this
is
the
right
approach
to
dealing
with
these
things.
AB
Well,
I
think
the
strategy
that
you've
outlined-
sarah-
not
only
you,
know
the
specific
programs,
but
also
basically
designating
the
social
services
committee
to
work
with
our
child
care,
community,
etc,
to
flesh
out
the
specifics
of
the
programs
under
social
services
and
then
for
the
affordable
housing
component
with
the
housing
and
community
development
committee.
I
think
those
two
committees
are
both
really
well
positioned
to
work
with
you
and
and
community
partners
to
come
up
with
the
you
know.
The
specific
dollar
amounts
that
we'll
be
looking
to
arpa
to
fund.
AB
So
I
think
I
I
really
support
wholeheartedly
the
what
you've
outlined
here.
I
think
it
sounds
like
a
really
good
way
to
move
forward.
AD
AC
Thank
you,
sarah.
This
is
very
helpful
in
terms
of
under
separating
it
out
and
your
explanation
of
what
are
the
things
that
could
amplify
our
money
and
when
they're
arriving,
and
why
we
need
to
wait
to
hear
what
those
things
are.
I
have
one
specific
question
about:
the
the
ida
tax
credit
credits.
When
you
were
talking
about
the
soft
money
contribution
that
would
be.
Is
that
a
soft
money
contribution
from
a
city
that
then
gets
that
gets
in
that
catalyzes?
The.
AD
Yes,
if
you
may
recall,
we
are
putting
two
million
into
the
ann
reigning
apartments.
That
was,
that
infamous
soft
money.
Soft
money
means
you're,
never
going
to
get
it
paid
back
unless
they,
you
know
it
it's
the
stuff
that
makes
the
deals
work,
but
it
really
is
critical,
and
that
is
something
that
can
make
a
project
more
competitive.
AC
AC
Like
that
exactly
I
was
thinking
about
that
for
a
lot
one,
because
I
don't
know
that
we'd
quite
meet
that,
but
certainly
that's
a
possibility.
Yes,.
AD
And
any
kind
of
contribution
and
with
any
donation
also
comes.
The
ability
of
land
is
the
donation
tax
credit,
which
is
another
way
of
providing
a
helping
fund.
Affordable
housing
finance
is
really
quite
complicated,
so
so
one.
AC
Other
aspect
of
that
thinking
of
lot
one
we
would
not
be
able
to
in
some
way
use
hacks
property,
as
soft
money
would
could
hack
and
the
city
join
together
and
make
that
as
a
joint
soft
money
contribution.
Absolutely.
AD
I
mean
that
that
can
absolutely
be
a
joint
land
contribution
that
would
get
tax
credits
as
well.
Okay
and
land
is
one
of
the
costs
in
a
market
like
evanston
which
really
drives
up
housing
costs.
Okay,
our
land
is
really
expensive,
guys,
yeah,
yes,
okay.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you.
Sarah,
yes,
generally
supportive
of
everything
here
just
running
through
the
list,
really
quick
on
the
social
services
side
of
things.
I
think
council
member
ravel
kind
of
confirmed
that
that
conversation
would
be
had
with
at
the
social
services
committee
right.
So
the
living
room,
I
think,
is
a
great
concept,
addresses
the
mental
health
need
or
starts
to
address
that
I
would
be
concerned.
C
As
I'm
sure
you
are
as
well
about
making
sure
we
have
a
long-term
source
of
funding
right
and
so
we're
not
just
setting
something
up
and
not
sure
where
it's
going
to
go
after
two
or
three
years.
So
absolutely.
AD
C
AD
Really,
I
don't
want
to
share
anything
because
it's
so
preliminary,
but
I
think
it
is
important
that
we
find
a
physical
site
for
this
and
one
that
is.
G
C
An
affordable
housing-
I
will,
you
know,
agree
with
you.
You
know
150
percent,
that
we
need
a
permanent
solution
to
our
24
7
homeless,
shelter,
and
I
assume
that
connections
is
for
the
homeless.
As
part
of
this
discussion,
absolutely
we
don't
need
to
go
into
those
details
right
now,
because
we
all
know
you
know
the
urgent
need
and
regardless
of
what
word
it's
in
or
where
it
happens,
to
be
located
in
the
city.
C
You
know
we
need
a
permanent
solution
that
makes
sense
for
the
residents
and
of
the
facility,
as
well
as
the
the
neighbors
and
the
residents
of
evanston
and
yes,
to
reiterate
what
council
member
wins
said.
If
there's
a
way,
we
can
leverage
additional
money
by
using
a
little
bit
of
upper
money
to
get
a
lot
of
money
from
somewhere
else.
AD
And
and
the
operating
money
for
the
social
services
is
absolutely
critical
because
we
could
take
the
amount
we
normally
give
out
through
cdbg
and
local
funds,
the
human
services
funds,
and
it
could
be
scooped
up
to
keep
one
organization
operating
or
one
facility
operating,
and
that
would
not
be
fair
to
everything
else.
We
need
to
do.
G
AD
We're
not
going
to
go
into
this
in
detail,
that's
going
to
be
from,
but
we
really
do
recommend
that
these
types
of
projects
are
going
to
go
more
traditionally
through
the
apw,
rather
than
necessarily
coming
through
the
other
special
committees.
But
we
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
anything
that
we
work
on
with
lead
service
line
replacements
would
have
a
real
component
for
job
training,
and
things
like
that
that
we
really
want
to
look
at
so
inclusive
and
equitable
recovery.
C
Sorry
yeah,
I
don't
want,
I
won't-
take
up
five
minutes
on
water
and
sewer
infrastructure,
but
this
is
one
where
there's
not
a
committee.
That's
designated,
so
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
the
utilities
committee
does
overlap
with
a
lot
of
what
we're
talking
about
here.
So
that
may
be
an
appropriate
channel
for
discussion
and
additional
public
input
and
I'm
sure
we
are
not
going
to
spend
more
arpa
money
on
lead
service
replacement
than
we
need
to.
AD
Exactly
and
some
of
it's
already
coming
out,
I
mean
some
has
been
discussed
already,
but
through
the
infrastructure,
but
there
could
be
also
more
in
the
buildback
better,
which
also,
by
the
way,
is
another
place
where
both
child
care
and
mental
health
services,
so
another
reason
not
to
spend
everything
at
once
on
those
so
inclusive
and
equitable
recovery.
AD
I
really
haven't
had
a
chance
to
research
this
yet,
but
I
intend
to
contact
treasury
because
I
really
think
8102
in
south
evanston,
which
was
our
other
nsp
census
tract,
has
many
of
those
same
characteristics
and
needs
help.
It
is
one
of
our
areas
where
we
have
some
of
our
highest
immigrant
populations.
It's
one
of
our
most
diverse
populations.
Sarah.
E
I'm
going
to
stop
you
there,
because
this
was
something
that
really
I
mean
when
we
were
been
talking
about
this
over
the
past
several
months.
This
is
really
important
information,
because
we're
traditionally
there's
strings
attached
to
other
buckets
or
sources
of
funding
with
arpa.
There
really
aren't
any
strings
attached
to
those
census.
Districts
yeah
if
you're.
AD
And
so
when
paul-
and
I
are
saying,
for
example,
this
is
why,
on
the
chart,
we
put
the
hill
business
district
and
the
other
business
district
in
there's
money
that
can
come
from
both
sources
and
and
that's
why
it's
hard
to
really
pin
down
the
buckets.
AD
But
I
really
do
believe
that
we
need
to
have
planning
groups
in
these
neighborhoods.
I
think
that
is
absolutely
critical
and
it's
very
much
like
participate,
participatory
budget
and,
in
fact,
there's
a
great
deal
of
potential
overlap
between
these
two
areas,
because
we
are
really
trying
to
get
to
the
people
whose
voices
are
not
generally
heard
and
say:
what
do
you
need
to
thrive
and
figure
that
out
working
with
them?
The
businesses,
the
individuals,
the
landlords?
AD
A
All
right
so,
first
to
speak
on
this
is
council
member
nusmo.
C
U
C
The
board,
if
they
might
have
a
role
here
if
we
could
ask
them
for
their
thoughts
and
also,
I
think,
to
the
extent
that
we
can
up
front,
define
a
timeline
for
you
know
how
we're
gonna,
when
we're
gonna
be
having
these
discussions
and
when
decisions
will
be
made
and
making
that
timeline
known.
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
not
only
for
this,
but
for
everything
else,
really
right.
AD
That
will
be
coming
back
with
you
next
once
we
have
sort
of
agreement
on
what
we're
proceeding
with
that's
the
whole
plan
on
that,
but
you're,
absolutely
right.
The
other
thing
is
paul,
and
I
were
talking
about
just
looking
at
80
92,
because
it
was
really
what
types
of
things
are
we
already.
Thinking
of
that
are
going
to
happen
there
well
the
skate
park.
How
does
that
tie
into
how's
that
going
to
change
that
business
district
and
you
know
who's
going
to
be
there?
And
so
all
of
this
is
connected.
AD
We
really
have
to
look
at
things
as
interconnected.
We
have
a
new
piece
of
land
that
we
just
acquired
and
that
is
part
of
the
old
railroad
right-of-way
that
is
north
of
foster.
AD
It's
a
diagonal
chunk
of
it
that
doesn't
have
perfect
access,
but
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
figure
out
ways
to
maybe
acquire
some
of
those
additional
parcels
and
develop
more
housing
there.
So
there
again-
and
this
is
in
the
tiff-
and
so
we
have
to
be
able
to
layer
that
funding
in
and
use
it
all
appropriately.
It's
just
a
ton
of
stuff.
We've
got
to
figure
out,
but
it's
all
related
and
I
think
we
need
to
have
some
planning
specifically
with
people
in
those
neighborhoods
about
how
to
approach
it.
AA
Where
I
was
going
to
chime
in
I,
I
agree
that
it
was
something
that
I
was
going
to
come
back
in
and
say
that
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
I
hope
we
can
leave
tonight
doing
is
we've
had
at
least
two
members
express
interest
in
being
on
the
committee
that
will
begin
the
process
of
developing
the
pb
process,
and
so
I
I'm
I
haven't
expressed
interest
in
being
on
that
committee
and
I
think
we
should
name
that
committee
and
get
it
up
and
running
now.
A
So
let
me
speak
to
that.
The
there
are
actually
three
members.
What
I
what
I
took
down
at
a
previous
discussion
was
that
council
members
new
smog
burns
and
yourself
all
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
that.
I
have
been
working
to
identify
both
partners
and
plan
to
present
to
you
to
be
honest,
we're
making
really
good
progress,
and
I
would
hope,
before
the
end
of
the
year,
to
be
able
to
present
to
the
three
of
you
a
proposal.
A
If
you
want
to
structure
that
as
a
as
a
standalone
committee
or
subcommittee
of
some
other
entity,
we
I'm
certainly
supportive
of
that
as
well.
But
I
just
want
to.
I
want
to
rest
assured
that
I
took
to
heart
the
interest
that
was
expressed
both
in
the
three
of
you
participating
and
in
the
urgency,
and
I'm
doing
what
I
can
to
move
that
forward
as
fast
as
possible.
Yeah.
AA
And
I,
I
certainly
don't
think
it
should
all
be
on
you.
I
think
that's
well.
I
think
it
should
be
a
committee.
I
think
the
three
of
us
volunteered
for
a
committee,
and
I
think
that
committee
should
be
a
part
of
the
process
that
that
you
were
whatever
you're
doing
now.
AA
I
think
the
three
of
us
should
be
a
part
of
that,
and
instead
of
you
coming
to
us
with
a
fully
well,
an
opaque
plan
is
really
fully
baked
when
it
comes
to
council,
but
a
nearly
somewhat
gelatinous
big
plan
that
gelatinous
the
opposite
of
baked.
I.
AA
It's
kind
of
squishy
not
solid
yet
so
when
that
I
think
we
should
be
a
part
of
that
process,
and
so
I
would
love
for
that
committee
to
get
up
and
running
soon
then
later
and
then
see
what
you
have
and
be
a
part
of
whatever
you're
developing,
because
I
council
member
burns-
and
I
back
in
our
old
days
when
we
were
in
the
clerk's
office-
did
a
whole
ton
of
research
on
pb
met
with
the
great
cities
institute,
which
I'd
imagine
is
who
you're
talking
to
maybe
even
taya,
krum
ta,
something
so
you
know
I'd
love
to
be
a
part
of
it.
AD
AD
AD
A
D
C
V
Thank
you
for
can,
I
suggest,
maybe
between
now
the
next
time
we
discuss
it
in
january,
to
have
a
discussion
with
her
to
come
up
with
a
budget
number
and
then
decide
where
you'd
like
to
move
it
from.
I
think
that
would
be
my
suggestion
that
I'd
be
willing
to
support,
and
then
it's
it's
something
you
could
take
action
on
and
build
on
in
in
january,
make
sense.
AA
AA
AA
I
I
am
of
the
opinion.
While
I
am
happy
to
support
council
member
new
smith's
proposal,
I
almost
think
his
proposal
is
quite
conservative,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
that
you
know
the
1.5
million
is
almost
a
floor.
I
don't
know
if
we
really
need
staff
to
do
if
we
need
to
put
more
work
on
staff's
plate.
For
I
mean
I
I
think
we
we've
discussed.
You
know
this
proposal
about
allocating
this
money
has
been
float.
You
know
floating
for
quite
a
while.
AB
Well,
I
obviously
would
be
glad
to
support
a
one
and
a
half
million
dollar
car
bucket,
but
I
think
the
unanswered
question
is:
where
are
we
gonna?
What,
where
are
we
gonna
pull
money
from
the
other
buckets
to
to
create
this
carp
and
ej
bucket?
So
I
think
that's
the
conversation
that
needs
to
be
had
between
now
and
january.
C
So
it's
this
kind
of
discussion
we
would
have
to
have
to
define
what
would
go
in
the
car,
the
climate
action
bucket
and
what
would
go
in
the
affordable
housing
bucket,
because
we
don't
the
flip
side
of
creating
a
climate
action
bucket.
Is
that
no
everybody
else
is
off
the
hook
or
feels
like
they're
off
the
hook
for
thinking
about
carp
and
that.
A
Is
not
a
desire
to
have?
I
do
want
to
stress
that
I
mean
to
me
the
choice
is
allocate
a
million
and
a
half
to
car
or
allocate
43
million
to
carb,
with
the
understanding
that
we
shouldn't
be
spending
a
dime
in
this
city
without
thinking
about
carp.
But
I
understand
your
your
point.
I
think
ms
kendrick
wanted
to
add
something.
E
So
for,
for
instance,
the
retrofitting
example
we
we
could
come
back
with
a
proposal
that
can
go
either
to
committee
or
can
go
to
council,
and
that
would
delineate
how
much
in
arpa
funds
we
would
need
for
that
project.
Because
sarah
said
ms
black
said
that
we
have
to
do
a
little
bit
more
research
to
see
what
that
cost
looks
like
given
other
funds
and
so
that
in
of
itself,
would
earmark
carp
funds
so
to
speak.
A
Council
member
reed,
followed
by
braithwaite.
AA
I
I
just
want
to
note,
while
I
think
what
I
just
heard
was
very
aspirational
that
every
you
know
all
the
money
would
be.
You
know,
we'd
run
it
through
a
lens
of
carp,
but
again
we're
talking
about
43
million
dollars,
a
small
amount
of
relative
to
our
overall
budget.
Our
our
annual
budget,
small
amount
of
money
we've
already
spent.
What
20
of
the
money
we
spent
8
million-
I
don't
know
20
of
the
money,
20
some
odd
percent.
I
think-
and
we
didn't
I.
AA
Running
any
of
those,
the
20
that
we
spent
already,
I
don't
remember
running
that
through
a
carp
lens
or
you
know
really
thinking
about
the
environmental
impacts
of
what
we're
doing
we
bought
vehicles
did,
did
we
buy
environmentally
friendly
vehicles?
Did
we
think
about
any
of
that
then?
And
so
the
aspiration
of
saying
just
every
bucket
is
going
to
you
know.
Think
about
carp
is
great.
I
wish
we
would
do
it,
but
realistically
I
don't
see
that
happening.
AA
Unless
we
specifically
set
aside
money
and
say
this
money
is
going
to
be
focused
on
carp,
because
I
I
surely
would
be-
I
wouldn't
be
comfortable
with
just
thinking
that
equity
or
that
social
services
were
gonna,
be
built
into
everything
that
we
did.
I
think
we
just
like
we
set
aside
a
pot
of
money
for
that
carp
is
just
as
important.
Thank
you.
V
So
this
is
just
on
a
different
subject,
but
the
same
slide
and
I've
been
listening
to
two
different
conversations
just
regarding
the
welcoming
center,
and
so
the
label
is
latinx
welcoming
center.
However,
we've
heard
all
night
that
you
know
the
city
of
evanston
is
multicultural,
including
a
caribbean
descent,
and
within
the
context
of
that,
I
think
it
may.
AD
That's
something
actually
I'd
like
to
look
more
into
how
the
illinois
department
of
public
health
defines
them
too,
because
they
do
as
what
I've
seen
so
far,
and
I
haven't
done
a
ton
of
research.
Have
many
of
them
have
a
focus,
but
that
doesn't
mean
they're
exclusively
one
group.
Our
latinx
population,
is
by
far
our
largest.
AD
Non-English
speaking
group
and
our
largest
immigrant
group-
and
so
it's
I
think,
has
to
be
a
focus
of
that,
but
it
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
be
exclusive
one
of
the
things
that
I
found
when
we
were
doing
the
when
we
had
an
influx
of
immigrants
back
in
2017,
we
had
a
lot
of
immigrants
from
very
different
places
and
in
many
cases
the
organizations
that
were
resettling
them
had
to
connect
them
with
organizations
in
chicago
or
other
suburbs,
because
they
already
had
a
base
of
language
skills,
and
things
like
that.
AD
So
I
don't
think
there's
a
single
answer
to
that.
That's
not
very
may
not
be
very
helpful,
but
I
think
we
need
to
learn
more
about
it
and
figure
out
how
we
can
expand,
but
I
think
our
start
has
to
be
focusing
on
addressing
the
latinx
needs
for
sure
and
expanding
on
other
needs,
because
absolutely
we
have
haitians.
We
have
any
number
of.
We
have
a.
AD
People
coming
from
different
parts
of
africa
we've
got
middle
eastern.
In
some
cases,
I
think
we
would
co-op
coordinate
with
skokie
because
they
have
more
immigrant
groups
and
more
languages
in
skokie
than
we
do.
When
we
were
working
on
the
census,
I
think
they
had
59
languages
in
their
schools.
For
example,
we
haven't
gotten
quite
to
that's
challenge
level,
but
it
is
something
that
isn't
going
to
be
done
just
by
us.
AD
V
X
I
might
just
like
to
make
two
separate
motions.
One
motion
is
to
formally
create
the
participatory
budgeting
committee,
whether
we
need
to
take
a
vote
on
it
or
some
action
that
you
can
take
mayor
bis,
I'd
like
to
to
leave
knowing
that
we've
done
that.
I
think
we
have.
I
X
Three
council
members
that
have
volunteered
so
I'd
like
to
make
that
motion
I'll.
Second,
it.
X
How
does
that
work?
Is
it
well.
AA
Typically,
the
in
this
case,
I
think
you
would
have
that
authority,
but
I
would
certainly
volunteer
myself
for
chair
of
the
pb
committee.
You.
A
And
just
in
light
of
the
fact
that
I've
been
working
on
this,
do
you
want
me
to
be?
Does
your
motion
include
me
as
a
member
or
no.
A
Member
burns
moves
that
we
create
a
committee
on
participatory
budget
budgeting
with
members,
council
members,
newsman
councilmember
burns
and
mayor
biss
and
member
and
share
council
member
reed.
Is
there
a
second
council
member
of
el
seconds?
Is
there
any
discussion.
C
And
a
full
favor
of
transparency,
but
I
think
what
we
need
now
is
just
some
a
con,
a
forum
that
allows,
for
you
know
some
very
productive
discussions,
which
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
be
a
public
forum,
at
least
to
start,
so
is,
is
a
committee
the
way
to
go,
or
is
there
another
mechanism
that
would
allow
that
discussion
to
be
able
well.
A
D
C
A
C
I
think
like
I
think
this
needs
to
start
with
some
informal
discussions
before
we
open
up
the
door
and
and
and
have
a
a
a
bigger
public
discussion.
I.
X
Council
councilmember
reed
and
I
extensively
went
through
a
potential
story.
Budgeting
journey
some
members
up
here,
probably
recall,
I
know
councilman.
If
you
recall,
we
met
with
you
about
it,
so
I
mean
that's
we're
we're
much
further.
Along
than
than
you
think
we
we
we're
kind
of
fully
networked
into
the
pb
community
in
in
the
chicago
area,
and
I'm
sure
can
I
yeah
are
already
talking
to
have.
I
already
have
some
relationships
established
with
people,
folks
that
mayor
bishop
is
talking
to
now,
so
I
think
we're
ready.
Okay.
A
To
yeah
all
right
will
the
clerk.
Please
call
the
roll.
Q
A
X
Yeah-
and
I
don't
know
if
this
needs
emotion,
but
I
think
the
the
next
thing
I'd
like
for
council
to
to
get
from
staff
is
just
some
way
that
we
can
create
goals
and
priorities
as
a
council
as
it
relates
to
arpa
funding
so
goals
and
priorities.
I
know
the
previous
council
went
through
a
similar
process,
but
we
have,
I
think,
four
new
members
I'd
like
us
specifically
to
go
through
goals,
setting
establishing
goals
and
priorities
as
it
relates
to
our
both.
I.
A
I
completely
agree
with
you
and
I'm
happy
to
commit
to
support
you
with
that.
I
would
suggest
it
doesn't
require
emotion.
AA
I'll
just
use
my
well
not
forget
what
I
was
gonna
originally
speak
about,
but
to
to
that
point
I
I
do
think
that
we
really
need
to
settle
in
on
the
goals.
I
think,
if
all
of
us
you
know,
came
up
if,
if
offline,
there
was
a
poll,
a
poll
that
was
sent
out-
and
you
know
said-
hey
everybody
list
your.
You
know
top
three
priorities
for
arpa
or
your
top
two
in
each
bucket
and
then
vote
for
for
four.
AA
We
can
come
out
with
our
top
three
priorities,
because
I
really
think
you
know
if
our
top
priority
council
member
burns
and-
and
I
and
paul
were
just
having
a
sidebar
conversation.
If
our
top
priority
is
what
was
the
example
that
was
used,
the
15
million,
whatever
it
was,
if
our
top
priority
was
child
care.
Sure,
let's
say
our
top
priority.
Was
child
care
or
mental
health,
for
example,
and
we
did
and
we
had
staff
come
back
and
determine
that
you
know
in
order
to
meet
our
goals
on.
AA
You
know:
affordable
housing,
child
care,
mental
health
we'd
have
to
spend
you
know:
30
million
dollars,
40
million
dollars.
The
remainder
of
the
money,
I
think
we
should
have
very
clear
in
mind
what
it
is
that
we
are
giving
up
and
what
opportunities
we're
missing
before
we
continue
to
spend
more
of
the
money,
especially
given
that
20
percent
of
it
is
is
already
gone.
AC
Well,
I
I
think
that
I
think
it's
important
to
have
the
goals.
I
think
the
goals
that
the
staff
has
put
up
here
about,
which
were
the
goals
that
were
adopted
by
the
in
2019
and
2020
by
the
entire
city
council
for
all
you
know,
for
everything
that
was
going
to
happen
by
the
city
council
actually
are,
are
some
that
I
would
start
with
again,
and
you
know
I
don't
think
that
this
is
should
be.
AC
AC
We
did
it
within
one
meeting
and
because
we
all
knew
what
they
were
and
were
able
to
come
to
consensus
on
them
very,
very
quickly
so
and-
and
we
also
have
had
the
staff
do
all
of
this
work.
You
know
already
on
on
this.
You
know
it
feels
like.
Yes,
we
have
these.
We
should
have
these
goals,
but
we
have
a
23
page
memo
here
that
is
laying
out
what
the
staff
thinks
that
we,
the
best
use
and
ways
that
we
should
spend
this
money.
AC
AC
So
I
don't
want
us
to
get
tangled
up
in
that,
because
those
are
the
goals
that
this
that
this,
the
staff
has
been
working
with.
All
along
to
come
up
with
this,
I
I
appreciate
how
important
it
is
to
have
goals
and
to
adopt
them
so
that
they're
our
guiding
star.
But
let's.
AA
I
I
agree,
I
think
this
is
a
very
good
beginning
point.
I
think
it
was
at
a
committee
that
we
serve
on
together
councilmember
when
it
was
a
line
that
will
stick
with
me.
Someone
in
one
of
our
committees
said
that
her
father
always
told
her
that
you
can
have
jesus
it
was
you
can
have.
You
can
have
anything
you
want,
but
you
can't
have
everything
that
you
want
and
that's
a
whole
lot
up
there,
and
so
I
think
we
gotta
figure
out.
AA
AC
As
our
guiding
principles,
so
I
agree:
let's
have
some
guiding
principles
on
this,
but
I
don't
want
us
to
I
mean
this:
shouldn't
should
not
be
hard.
I
think
we
could
probably
go
down
the
list
right
now,
but
so,
let's
just
put
together
a
list
vote
on
it,
make
sure
the
staff
gets
to
add
some
things
to
this
list.
If
they've
been
working
on
this
for
so
long
so
yeah.
A
So
on
that
point,
ms
gandersky.
E
So
not
to
be
dense
here
I
I
apologize.
I've
recovered
from
the
flu,
so
I'm
hoping
I'm
understanding
everything
correctly.
I
guess
I'm
still
a
little
bit
confused
as
to
what
we're
walking
away
with
tonight.
So
I
guess
what
I'm
hearing
is
a
couple
of
different
things.
Does
council
want
time
to
evaluate
this
criteria
to
say
this?
Yes,
this
is
what
we
think
should
be.
The
measure
of
what
we're
looking
at
does
council
want
time
to
prioritize
the
various
items
that
were
presented
tonight
in
a
in
a
priority
schedule.
E
You
know
not
not
by
category
but
like
as
a
whole.
I.
A
I
think
let
me
try
to
summarize
what
I
think
I
heard
and
folks
can
can
weigh
in.
If
I
get
it
wrong,
I
don't
think
there
were
many
specific
red
flags
raised
about
concrete
items,
so
I
don't
think
the
feedback
is
hey.
Paul,
hey
sarah
pump
the
brakes
on
this
specific
thing.
Obviously
there
are
some
specific
questions
about
some.
You
know,
especially
around
the
ambassador
program
and
and
obviously
no
one's
committing
at
this
point
to
vote.
Yes
on
everything
that
comes
to
council,
but
I
think
the
directional
I
think
was
was
positive.
A
I
think
there's
a
strong
interest
in
understanding
the
criteria
better
and
having
an
opportunity
to
really
dig
into
them
and
weigh
in
on
them.
I
think
there's
a
pending
discussion
on
a
potential
cart
bucket
that
I
expect
to
come
back
in
january
and
I
think
I
would
recommend
that
come
back
as
a
sort
of
ready-to-go
proposal
so
that
it
doesn't
have
to
get
workshopped
up
here
and
then
I
think
there
is
this
interest
in
kind
of,
let's
just
sort
of
say
it.
A
You
know
maybe
doing
some
work
that
would
have
benefited
all
of
us
to
do
months
ago,
around
articulating
this
city
council's
priorities,
which
I
agree
with
everybody.
This
is
not
it's
not
going
to
be
mysterious.
It's
not
going
to
you
know,
there's
not
going
to
be
one
person
who's
for
affordable
housing,
persons
for
unaffordable
housing,
but
I
think
I
think
it's.
X
And
I
just
want
to
be
clear
for
me:
that's
I
don't
know
if
I'm
on
the
same
page
with
that,
I
think
at
the
end
of
this
we
should,
which
is
why
I
put
in
there
related
to
arpa
right
there's,
because
I
don't
want
this
to
be
too
wide
to
where
it's
still
hard
for
us
to
take
action.
So
I'm
saying
we
specific
specifically.
A
X
Fly
we'll
breeze
through
the
goals.
I
think
really.
What
we
need
to
understand
is
like
the
ranking
of
priorities.
We
all
want
to
do
everything
on
that
list
and
more,
but
we're
going
to
have
to
make
some
hard
decisions
on
what
do
we
want
to
start
with
in
each
bucket,
because
as
soon
as
we
do
that
first
thing
we
have
to
subtract
away
from
arpa
money
or
any
other
bit
of
money
right.
This
is
a
finite
amount
of
money.
X
We
all
want
to
do
everything,
but
we
have
to
start
with
the
first
thing
for
each
bucket
figure
out
what
that
costs.
Us
subtract
that
and
then
move
on
to
the
second
priority.
That's
what
I
would
like
to
to
see
us
do
again.
I
think
I
agree
with
councilman
wynn.
I
think
we
could
probably
get
through
it
now,
but
it's
late,
but
I
think
child
care
is
probably
going
to
come
out,
climatizing
resiliency.
For
me.
X
For
example,
what
could
might
bubble
to
the
top
is
a
living
room
and
then
staff
knows
that
their
one
focus
to
start
right
is
to
look
into
all
the
different
living
room
type
models
for
us
to
review
as
a
board,
and
maybe
that
can
go
through
an
rfp
process
through
social
service
committee
returning
point
in
other
people,
so
I
just
I
want
to
describe
it
a
bit
so
we're
on
the
same.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
on
the
same
page,
all
right.
Thank
you.
Councilman.
C
You
know
so
that
that
priority
discussion
has
already
been
had,
and
hopefully
we'll
be
rejiggering
it
a
little
bit
to
put
some
money
in
a
a
climate
action
bucket,
but
that
priority
discussion
is
separate
than
how
you're
going
to
spend
the
economic
development
money.
Yes,.
X
X
If
you
work
with
with
chara
pratt
to
just
come
up
with
priorities
like
climate
action,
resiliency
priorities,
one
that
could
be
retrofitting,
then
we
could
explore
that
more
and
see
what
the
cost
would
be
and
what
buckets
it
would
come
out
of
which
I
think
city
manager,
grand
dursky
was
was
suggesting.
I
don't
know
if
we
need
to
set
it
aside
right
now.
Let's
just
work
through,
let's
figure
out
what
the
priorities
are
for
that
and
then
develop
costs,
and
then
we'll
have
a
better
sense
of
what
bucket
right.
A
AC
D
AC
Lively
and
useful
discussion-
that's
all
thank
you.
C
Nissman,
I
just
want
to
extend
my
condolences
to
the
denison
family
for
their
tragic
loss
earlier
or
last
week
I
should
say,
and
let's
keep
their
family
in
mind:
let's
keep
their
community
in
mind
and
let's
keep
violence
prevention
as
one
of
our
priorities
at
the
city,
whether
it's
in
the
opera
context
or
not.
We
need
to
interrupt
these
cycles
of
violence
that
includes
investing
in
everything
from
affordable
housing
to
social
services
and
child
care.
C
Workforce
development-
all
of
that
is
important
to
you,
know,
end
the
cycle
of
gun
violence
and
I,
for
one
personally,
am
not
wanting
to
concede
the
fight
at
the
federal
level
either.
C
I
know
that,
given
the
current
constituency,
the
current
makeup
of
the
supreme
court,
this
is
probably
not
a
battle
we
want
to
pick,
but
if
someone
wants
to
go
after
dc
versus
heller,
if
someone
wants
to
go
after
the
nra
count
me
in
I'm
I'm
down
for
that
conversation,
I
also
do
want
to
extend
thanks
to
carolyn
murray
for
organizing
another
successful
gun,
buyback
program,
city
manager,
interim
city
manager,
gandersky
alluded
to
that
earlier.
So
thank
you.
Miss
murray
for
your
continued
support.
AC
Thank
you.
It's
been
a
very
long
meeting.
I
I
also
want
to
extend
my
condolences
to
the
the
denison
family
and
all
of
the
families
that
were
impacted
by
this
gun
violence,
and
that
means
those
families
that
may
not
actually
have
had
a
child
there.
But
everyone
in
the
community,
this
ripples
and
ripples
and
ripples
as
every
single
one
of
these
shootings
does
and
it's
it
once
again.
AC
We
must
redouble
our
efforts
to
provide
social
support
so
that
that
this
is
not
something
that
teenagers
think
of
as
an
option
when
they
have
disagreements
or
are
driving
around
in
a
car.
So
I
I
agree
with
council
member
newsma.
AC
It's
guns
and
we've
had
many
community
conversations
about
this,
and
but
what
we
do
need
to
do
is
address
some
of
the
the
systemic
social
issues
and
I
believe,
as
council
member
reed,
I
believe
was
saying
earlier.
Covett
has
exasper
exasperated
you
all
know
what
I
meant
all
of
these
issues,
and
so
I
I
think
the
work
that
we're
doing
here
tonight
is
going
to
help
that.
AC
But
I
appreciate
the
gun,
buyback
and
any
work
that
we
can
do
to
reduce
guns
and
the
sale
of
guns
or
in
our
community
is
work
well
spent.
Thank
you.
X
Yeah,
I
also
want
to
share
my
condolences
to
all
the
families
and
friends
impacted
by
the
really
tragic
shooting
those
who
one
who
is
deceased,
of
course,
and
as
well
as
some
who
are
home
now,
hopefully
recovering
well
and
then
I
believe,
there's
still
a
victim
who
was
in
the
the
hospital
fighting
for
her
life,
so
send
my
my
well
wishes
to
her
and
her
family
and
want
to
also
announce
that
we
are
going
to
have
a
special
city
council
meeting
to
discuss
violence
prevention
strategies
and
solutions
on
the
20th
city
manager.
X
Okay,
so
we'll
have
a
time
announced
soon,
but
we
are
going
to
have
that
discussion.
We're
going
to
hear
from
from
city
staff
and
hopefully
from
the
community
at
large
during
a
public
comment
about
different
strategies,
we
can
act
on
and
also
just
want
to
say
shout
out
to
our
youth
and
young
adult
outreach
team.
X
I
want
to
say
shout
out
to
our
partner
and
organizations
who
are
helping
with
violence
prevention
with
housing,
instability
with
working
with
juveniles,
who
are
justice
involved.
I
want
to
make
it
very
clear
that
this
city
has
for
a
long
time
made
a
commitment
to
our
young
people
who
have
made
a
commitment
towards
preventing
violent
prevention
and
trust
me.
X
There
are
conflicts
and
disputes
that
could
be
deadly
that
are
diffused
on
a
daily
basis
because
of
the
good
work
of
people
across
the
city
and
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that,
work
and
improve
on
it,
and
I
think,
on
december,
20th
would
be
a
good
opportunity
for
us
to
continue
that
work.
That
is
all
thank
you.
AB
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Well,
I
join
my
colleagues
in
expressing
my
condolences
to
the
denison
family
and
to
all
the
victims
and
the
whole
community.
That's
really
still
suffering
from
that
terrible
acts,
terrible
shooting
of
almost
a
week
ago.
AB
You
know
make
sure
these
kinds
of
things
don't
happen
in
the
future,
because
we'll
the
whole
community
will
be
stronger
and
more
resilient,
and
then
I
just
I
want
to
mention
that
on
december
16th,
I'm
having
a
seventh
ward
meeting
at
which
representatives
from
northwestern
university
will
be
present
to
talk
with
community
members
about
plans
for
the
rebuilding
of
ryan
field
and
how
the
community
is
going
to
be
involved
in
listening
sessions
and
ways
to
provide
comments
and
input
into
the
design
of
that
rebuild
facility.
AB
So
it's
a
virtual
meeting
at
7
pm
on
december
16th.
AA
I
I
want
to
again
also
add
my
voice
to
the
condolences
to
the
denison
family
in
our
community
at
large.
While
I
wasn't,
of
course,
was
it
wasn't
on
the
scene.
AA
I
saw
a
video
of
the
directly
of
the
aftermath,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
I
will
never
ever
forget
in
my
life
is
the
sound
of
a
mother
and
family
learning
that
their
that
their
son
and
family
member
has
just
died
of
gun
violence
and
it's
chilling,
and
in
watching
that
recording
of
the
aftermath
it
really
made
me
realize
that
we
we
we
need
to
do
more.
Particularly
you
know,
there
are
some
things
that
we
just
can't
prevent.
AA
We
can't
prevent
everything,
but
when
tragedies
happen,
I
think
what
we
can
do
is
step
up
our
response
and-
and
I
commend
our
police
department
and
city
staff
for
everything
they
have
done
and
they
have
the
resources
to
do.
AA
But
what
I
realized
is
that
there
is
a
gap
in
what
we
are
providing
an
immediate
support
for
a
situation
like
this,
and
I
hope
that
is
something
you
know
with
the
discussion
that
we
have
on
the
20th
I
joined
councilmember
burns
and
birth
weight
and
calling
for
that
special
meeting.
I
I'm
hoping
that
stepping
up
our
victim
services
is
is
a
part
of
that
discussion
as
well.
AA
In
the
in
the
eighth
ward,
we
we
also
will
have
a
ward
meeting
on
december
18th,
which
is
a
saturday
at
one
o'clock,
as
we
have
had
in
the
past.
We
typically
have
those
meetings
ever
the
the
last
thursday
of
every
month,
but
in
because
of
the
holidays
with
november
and
december
now,
thus
far,
we've
held
those
on
saturdays
to
also
provide
some
weekend
opportunities
for
folks
to
join
in.
AA
So
there
will
be
saturday
december
18th
at
one
o'clock,
andrew
gandurki,
if
you're
able
to
join
you
know,
please
we
we'd
love
to
have
you.
G
AA
An
an
announcement
about
that
and
with
the
ward
newsletter,
as
well
as
an
agenda
for
that
meeting,
so
hoping
to
see
eighth
waters
there.
Certainly
I
I
can
tell
you
now
that
violence,
prevention
and
discussions
on
victim
services
will
certainly
be
a
part
of
that
ward
meeting.
So
we
invite
folks,
from
8th
ward
and
across
the
city
to
join
that
discussion.
AA
And
that
is
the
end
of
my
announcements.
Thank
you.
AA
I
am
so
sorry,
I
think,
there's
one
thing
I
wanted
to
say
and
I
wanted
to
say
before
we
end
it,
but
particularly
under
the
social
service,
social
return
on
investment.
I
think
the
personal
financial
wellness
is
something
we
should
remove
from
that
bucket.
I
I
don't
think
we
need
to
spend
money
on
teaching
poor
folks
how
to
manage
money
that
they
don't
have.
I
think
we,
you
know,
I
think
we
can
take
that
one
out
and
and
get
a
bit
of
clarity.
So
thank
you.
V
Thank
you,
mr
member
city,
council.
Again,
I
want
to
support
many
of
the
comments
were
said
in
terms
of
our
need
to
address
the
issues
of
violence
as
well.
My
sincere
prayers
and
condolences
not
only
to
the
denison
family,
but
to
all
the
young
adults
who
were
impact
impacted,
particularly
as
they
were,
our
students
at
both
evanston,
township
and
and
niles,
and
so
prayers
going
out
to
all
those
I
also
want
to
share
in
for
anyone
that
visits
valley,
condolences
to
the
gentleman's
name
is
ricardo.
V
V
V
There
are
a
number
of
neighborhood
issues
that
folks
have
been
looking
to
hear
a
report
on
so
we'll
address
those
as
well
I'll,
also,
just
as
we
did
with
the
last
city
manager,
search
looking
to
get
feedback
from
second
board
residents
in
terms
of
priorities
in
things
that
are
important
qualifications
that
are
important
to
them
when,
when
looking
for
our
next
city
manager
as
well,
you
know
expand
on
the
conversation
and
and
listen
to
my
residents,
feedbacks
as
it
comes
to
distributing
the
arpa
funds.
V
That's
it!
Thank
you.
