A
A
A
D
A
A
First
of
all,
on
November
15th
tomorrow
is
America
recycles
day,
there's
a
variety
of
reasons.
This
is
important
to
our
community
and
a
variety
of
things
that
we
ought
to
do
to
observe
it.
As
one
part
of
this,
the
City
of
Evanston
has
partnered
with
the
District
65
faculty
and
students
to
hold
a
design
competition.
The
way
this
works
is
Middle.
School
students
were
invited
to
submit
a
design
that
will
be
displayed
on
a
single
City
of
Evanston
Public
Works
recycling
truck
subsequent
to
the
deadline.
A
Passing
the
public
was
engaged
in
helping
to
select
a
design
to
use
for
the
the
Public
Works
vehicle
over
300
evanstonians
participated
in
that
part
of
the
phase
and
eventually
chose
shoot.
Middle
School
student
zainabilge
zainab
was
here
earlier
this
evening
to
accept
or
congratulations
for
her
design,
which
looks
as
follows.
A
She
is
perhaps
not
surprising
of
a
middle
schooler
on
a
school
night
and
had
to
make
it
home
before
now,
but
we
really
appreciate
her
really
remarkable
design
of
the
work
of
all
the
other
students,
the
community
members
who
participated
and
we
hope
you'll
join
us
in
congratulating
zenep.
A
Now,
therefore,
I
Daniel
biss,
mayor
of
the
City
of
Evanston,
do
hereby
Proclaim
November
12
2022
is
Sigma
gamma
rho,
sorority,
Incorporated,
Centennial,
100,
Years
of
Sisterhood
scholarship
and
service
day
in
the
City
of
Evanston
and
in
recognition
of
their
Founders
in
service
to
the
Edison
Community
in
celebration
of
their
Centennial
achievements.
Please
join
me
in
congratulating
them.
A
A
E
F
A
G
Evening,
Mr
Mayor
member,
says
city
council
clerk.
Mendoza
I
also
want
to
recognize
all
the
city
staff
here
tonight.
I
wanted
to
share
that
the
city
is
in
receipt
of
a
report
from
a
group
of
our
black
employees.
The
report
contains
troubling
and
disturbing
concerns
raised
by
our
staff.
The
city
council,
myself,
senior
staff
are
taking
the
report
very
seriously.
G
There's
already
been
a
number
of
conversations
and
meetings
with
city
council
senior
staff,
HR
outside
experts
and
I've
reached
out
to
the
group
as
well.
On
multiple
occasions.
We
plan
to
issue
a
road
map
before
the
end
of
the
month,
addressing
the
report
and
the
recommendations
we
want
to
move
quickly,
but
we
also
want
to
move
thoughtfully
and
get
this
right.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
the
group
as
we
move
forward
together.
Thank
you.
B
We
receive
Communications
from
Sergio
Hernandez,
Donna,
Fallen,
Peter,
rolwitz,
Tim,
abuchon,
Jen,
Papas
and
Kathy
rosbenda.
Some
of
these
are
in
support
of
the
Oakton
against
the
Oakton
bus
route
and
then
Support
also
for
the
open
letter.
Those
emails
are
are
in
your
inbox.
If
you
want
to
read
them
all.
A
A
So
each
participant
in
public
comment
will
be
given
a
minute
and
40
seconds.
We
begin,
as
always,
with
those
who
signed
up
in
person
to
speak
in
person.
I
just
want
to
reiterate.
If
you
don't
hear
a
name
called
those
who
signed
up
online
to
speak
in
person
will
be
recognized
as
well.
H
Good
evening,
mayor,
biss
manager,
Stowe
and
members
of
the
council,
these
folks
just
sort
of
wandered
in
tonight,
they
have
an
interest
in
the
public
pension,
Public
Safety
pension
funding
issue,
as
I
did
I,
was
allowed
to
present
my
informative
presentation
at
ampw
tonight.
For
any
of
you
who
did
not
see
it
and
I
will
I
will
send
it
to
all
of
you
and
there's
contact
information.
If
you
have
any
questions
in
return.
H
This
group,
which
includes
my
fire
counterpart,
Jack
Martell
from
the
fire
pension
fund,
three
Deputy,
Chiefs
retired
three,
who
are
interim
Chiefs
and
a
number
of
other
outstanding,
current
and
former
officers
and
firefighters
and
paramedics.
We
appreciate
your
efforts
to
properly
fund
both
funds
and
stop
this
many
year.
Charade.
You've
you've
funded
your
imrf
and
Social
Security
obligations
Faithfully
throughout
the
years,
and
we
think
it's
time
and
I
think
I
presented
some
compelling
evidence
that
we
need
to
get
back
on
track.
H
I
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
would
add.
Thank
you
for
your
long
service,
both
on
the
police
pension
board
and
on
our
Police
Department.
J
Good
evening
clerk
Mendoza,
we
have
this
council
members,
Rodney
green
Fifth
Ward
since
1988.
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
a
letter
from
the
employees
of
the
city.
I
got
three
recommendations
for
you
do
if
you
can
follow
through.
That
is
that
you
ought
to
Outsource
all
human
resource
functions
to
a
Professional
Organization
with
strong
diversity,
Equity
inclusion
and
Justice
qualifications.
You
should
also
conduct
a
thorough
racial
Equity
audit
of
the
city
of
Evans
human
resources
department
from
an
independent
agency.
J
J
What
I
saw
and
what
you
have
erased
out
was
that
you
take
out
her
breasts
female.
Then
you
start
to
explain
what
these
mean,
but
in
your
explanation
you
still
saying
that
any
kind
of
obscenity
or
nudity
you
have
to
have
an
opaque
dressing
above
the
nipple.
J
So
that
means
that
If,
any
man
or
woman
has
breasts
and
I
don't
give
a
man
a
woman.
They
got
breasts,
they
ought
to
be
covered.
Why?
Because
your
children
are
watching
this.
What
kind
of
example,
does
this
department
showing
the
children
of
today
and
tomorrow
about
what
nudity
is,
and
then
you
explain
it?
You
say
that
nudity
is
only
when
in
decent
exposures
when
you
committing
a
a
sexual
penetration
or
a
sexual
conduct
appearing
in
any
public
place
not
properly
and
decently
clothed.
So
how
does
this
change?
J
It
doesn't
make
any
sense
to
me
and
I
think
a
lot
of
other
parents
will
feel
the
same
way.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
madam
Mr,
Mayor
I
didn't
think
I
was
going
to
be
called,
but
quickly.
I
have
to
tell
you
a
story:
I
used
to
live
a
five
seven,
oh
Melbourne.
When
I
was
six
years
old
and
my
two
sister
and
I,
we
have
three
blocks
from
Lawrence
in
school
and
we
weren't
allowed
to
go
there.
We
had
to
watch
the
noise
and
at
that
time
there
were
no
freeways
so
Sherman,
Avenue
and
and
Sheridan
Road,
where
Disney
Travel
Street
then
have
hazardous.
K
We
would
pass
white
kids
going
to
Arlington
and
they
would
tease
us
at
first
I
was
saying:
if
I
was
fine,
I'd
be
all
right
and
then
I
realized.
They
don't
know
who
we
are.
We
got
Joe
Lewis
forums
and
Marion
Anderson
and
I'm
going
to
make
decide,
tell
them
teach
them
who
we
are
I've,
been
doing
it
for
eight
decades
or
more.
K
K
And
it's
just
like
discussing
that
about
the
United
UL
underwriting
Laboratory.
The
substance
is
more
important
than
the
sign.
What
that
entity
is
doing
is
more
important
than
our
looks
and
race
again
is
not
a
matter
of
genetics
or
abstracted,
not
a
matter
of
biology.
It's
not
because
we're
all
the
same.
You
just
happen
to
have
a
few
genes
that
are
different
to
make
it
to
have
white
skin.
You
know
or
blonde.
K
My
points
simply
being
that
the
the
report
that
employees
are
being
treated
poorly
reminds
me
of
what
the
father
Bob
used
to
say:
drive
by
diversity
exists
in
atmosphere,
you're
more
concerned
with
the
concept
of
Everton
being
the
place,
rather
than
doing
something
about
it.
So
I
recommend
you
set
up
a
committee,
that's
independent,
independent
committee,
considering
of
citizens,
official
public
assistance
for
representation
and
staff
that
has
the
power
to
look
into
this
whole
issue
of
race.
It's
ridiculous
ridiculous!
K
M
Thank
you
very
much
good
evening.
Everyone
welcome
to
another
public
comment
session,
as
required
by
law,
but
we're
still
trying
to
achieve
the
goal
as
intended
by
public
comment
to
foster
a
dialogue
with
residents.
I
see
you've
added
new
language
to
the
public
comment,
paragraph
on
the
agenda,
talking
about
disorderly
conduct,
threatening
to
borrow
participants
from
further
participation
in
that
meeting
very
interesting
because
on
5
24,
21
I
quoted
you
mayor
biss,
and
thank
you
for
stating
that
this
work
cannot
be
successful
without
meaning
meaningful
and
significant
public
input.
M
We
have
given
council
members
plenty
of
input,
however,
we've
not
received
feedback
or
the
discussions
with
residents
necessary
for
the
public
to
understand
the
issues
that
are
plaguing
the
City
of
Evanston
and
affect
our
daily
lives
and
how
to
resolve
them.
More
importantly,
how
we
did
not
finish
the
budget
hearing,
as
requested
by
three
council
members
and
tonight
you're
planning
on
voting
on
accepting
the
new
budget
when
we
didn't
even
finish
the
Public
Public
hearing
on
the
budget
didn't
finish
the
public
hearing
on.
M
Hearing
and
the
truth
in
taxation
hearing
I
don't
know
that
we
completed
that
all
required
by
law
and
no
explanation
from
city
council
as
to
the
guidelines
for
such
hearings,
how
does
a
public
hearing
work?
What
are
the
guidelines
that
you
have
for
a
public
hearing?
Okay,
there
should
be
a
discussion
with
no
time
limit,
okay
and
when
and
where
will
residents
get
their
questions
and
concerns
answered.
M
A
Sure
I
good
point
I
usually
do
that
only
for
the
online
but
I.
Don't
know
why!
So
that
we're
about
to
hear
from
Mr
Mortel,
who
will
be
followed
by
Ms
Betty
Esther,
followed
by
Mike
fasilko.
C
Good
evening
I
appreciate
you
making
the
time
you
got
your
hands
full
tonight.
I
can
see
that
I'll
be
fairly
short.
Bob
Seidenberg
has
been
writing
about
the
pension
fund
problem
for
over
40
years.
Talk
with
Tim
we're
going
to
send
an
article
from
back
then
and
I
just
want
to
tell
you
how
it
closes.
There
was
a
lawyer
attorney,
Peter
Kelly.
He
taught
Law
School
courses
on
penitent
pension
benefits
and
he
closes
his
article
because
he
said
this
is
a
bombshell
that
they
have.
C
This
is
40
years
ago,
and
it
says
Peter
Kelly
refuses
to
blame
the
present
city
council
for
the
state
of
the
pension
fund,
and
that's
true.
This
is
a
hot
potato.
You've
inherited
the
present
Council
was
faced
with
a
long-standing
problem
that
developed
over
years
by
past
councils.
C
C
You've
got
I,
have
a
fiduciary
responsibility
to
my
beneficiaries
of
my
fund
and
I
just
want
to
tell
you
to
speaking
for
the
fire
fund,
we're
certainly
unlock
step
with
Tim
and
the
police
fund.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
C
A
O
Good
evening
it's
been
a
long
time
since
I've
been
here.
No
no
work
done
here.
No
respect
nothing
but
I'm
here
tonight
to
stand
with
my
sisters
and
brother
that
are
like
me
and
the
issues
that
they
are
facing
that
has
been
talked
about
when
I
came
to
Evanston
and
nothing
is
so
so
I
hope
it's
going
forth.
It
will
be
the
other
thing.
I
want
to
ask.
We
you
talking
about
the.
O
Group
and
that
they
are
going
you
having
a
consultant
and
they're
going
to
meet
with
that
group,
and
you
had
something
that
was
supposed
to
paint
from
the
group.
The
l
e,
a
p
which
I
don't
know,
was
surprised
to
hear
that
since
I
was
on.
That
committee
said
in
the
group:
well
did
the
virtual
meetings
with
you
and
that
was
never
brought
forth.
O
So
you're
saying
the
group
is
doing
this
now.
The
group
is
not
doing
that
because
nobody
that
was
in
that
group
has
had
any
conversation
or
meeting
if
you're
going
to
ask
the
public
people
to
join
group
and
work,
do
the
decent
thing
and
contact
us
or
say
hey
your
service
is
no
longer
needed
and
don't
be
using
it
as
a
public
group.
That
is
wrong
for
you
to
do
that.
Mayor,
Bess,
said
on
the
groups
came
to
some
of
the
meeting
Bobby
chair
at
the
meetings.
O
O
A
P
Thank
you
very
much,
so
the
council
didn't
declare
a
animal
shelter
emergency,
yet
the
budget
proposes
and
over
designed,
7.5
million
dollar
shelter.
That's
estimated.
It's
probably
going
to
end
up
being
much
more.
The
council
didn't
declare
a
state
park
emergency,
but
the
skate
park
will
be
built,
I'm
sure
and
cost
several
million
dollars.
Once
it's
all
said
and
done,
the
council
didn't
declare
any
other
emergencies
for
non-urgent,
frivolous
CIP
projects.
P
The
only
emergency
declared
by
the
council
was
Declaration
in
April
this
year.
A
climate
emergency,
the
budget
response
to
the
climate
emergency
is,
is
a
grand
total
of
1.75
million
dollars.
In
three
categories
you
have
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
potentially
for
solar
panels.
On
some
municipal
buildings
not
yet
approved.
P
You
have
250
000
for
a
pilot
program
for
sustainability
grants
for
small
businesses
yet
not
approved,
and
you
have
a
one
million
dollar
pilot
program:
eight
affordable
housing,
retrofits,
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
which
is
going
to
a
for-profit
general
contractor
in
a
non-bid
situation.
A
P
That's
not
an
adequate
response
to
the
climate
emergency.
You
all
signed
on
to
the
fund.
I
am
requesting
asking
you
to
create
what
provide
Financial
Resources
for
evanston's,
thirty
thousand
households
to
take
immediate
climate
action.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Q
And
in
reading
the
letter
the
report
shared
with
us
by
black
City
staff
members,
we've
once
again
witnessed
a
massive
failure
in
the
way
that
the
city
treats
its
staff
we've
seen
this
before
last
year,
we
learned
of
horrific
maltreatment
of
Staff
members
and
the
parks
department
and
the
beach
front,
and
the
city
did
commission
investigation
that
was
fairly
detailed
and
issued
a
report
that
I
thought
was
impressive.
However,
we
don't
know
what's
happened
since
then.
Q
There's
been
no
transparency
in
changes
or
implementing
the
recommendations
in
that
report,
and
in
fact
it's
looking
at
the
budget
this
year
there
doesn't.
There
seems
to
be
a
remarkable
lack
of
funding
for
implementing
those
changes.
Q
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
we're
going
to
be
conducting
an
investigation
about
the
the
problems
outlined
in
the
the
recent
report
from
the
black
staff
members,
but
we
need
to
do
better.
We
need
to
do
better
not
only
in
how
we
investigate
it,
but
also
in
how
we
implement
it
and
the
transparency
that
that
we
bring
to
that
process.
Q
Q
If
repeatedly
published
racist
and
racist
articles
that
don't
comport
with
new
standards
and
it's
appalling,
that
the
city
supports
that
biased
and
counterfactual
blog
with
not
only
our
advertising
money,
but
also
with
our
subscription
money
and
we've
done
this
for
years
and
years-
and
this
should
be
the
last
drop
it's
time
to
stop.
Thank
you.
Thank.
R
Good
evening,
mayor,
Beth
city
com,

manager,
Stowe
members

executive
director

We

My

members
and
program
graduates
are
here
tonight
to
ask
you
to
prove
our
arpa
funding,
request
to
acquire
a
warehouse
and
create
a
Building
Trades
Training
Center.
R
In
the
last
five
years,
we
have
demonstrated
that
we
can
execute
Big
Ideas
and
have
meaningful
sustainable
impact
in
Evanston,
we've
quadrupled
in
size
and
budget
and
are
currently
a
three
million
dollar
budget
with
35
employees
in
two
locations,
we've
doubled
the
amount
of
construction
materials
saved
from
landfills
to
more
than
1500
tons.
A
year
we've
grown
seven
times.
R
We
moved
to
our
current
square
foot
headquarters
at
1245
hartree
and
it's
a
good
problem
to
have,
but
we
are
out
of
room
and
we
want
to
push
ourselves
to
grow
even
more,
why
poverty
rates
are
too
high,
which
means
we
need
to
get
more
people
into
living
wage
employment.
R
R
How
awesome
would
it
be
to
have
Evanston
residents
hired
to
build
a
stadium
that
drives
economic
development
in
our
community,
and
so
this
urgency
is
why
we
want
to
acquire
626,
Heart
Tree
and
create
a
Building
Trades
training
facility.
We
know
it's
a
big
ask
and
we
consider
you
to
be
a
strong
partner
to
our
work.
We
think
we
can
pull
it
off,
but
we
need
your
help.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
S
Good
evening
and
thank
you
I
would
hope
you
do
support
the
rebuilding
Warehouse.
They
are
a
phenomenal
Grassroots
program
and
I've
watched
them
grow
over
the
years,
and
these
are
just
fabulous.
S
S
The
employees
have
been
coming
to
council
and
speaking
to
the
hurtful
treatment
they've
heard
over
endured
over
the
years,
Evanston
has
spent
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
on
equity
and
diversity
training,
but
clearly
it's
not
working
because
the
culture
in
this
city
needs
to
change
from
the
top
down
and
the
inside
out
I
do
have
confidence
in
our
managers,
Luke
Stowe,
to
work
on
this
and
bring
together
groups
of
people
to
help
really
solve
this
problem
once
and
for
all.
Thank
you.
Second.
If
it's
I
want
to
talk
about
the
budget,
the
process
is
flawed.
S
The
numbers
are
incorrect,
meaningful
question
and
answer.
Discussions
are
absent
because
council
members
and
the
public
are
not
being
presented
with
the
up-to-date
and
accurate
information.
We
have
a
surplus
of
millions
of
dollars,
in
addition
to
a
16
reserve
and
over
the
year,
there's
been
under
budgeting
of
certain
Revenue
funds,
which
serves
to
create
Millions
on
unassigned
funds,
which
are
not
necessarily
discussed
during
budget
time
and
are
these
creating
slush
funds.
We
have
to
look
at
that.
However,
in
spite
of
the
extra
funds,
staff
is
recommending
an
exorbitant
amount
of
bonds
for
2023.
S
Evanston
still
has
400
million
dollars
in
debt
between
the
23-year
bonds
that
are
currently
existing
in
our
public,
our
pension
obligations,
it's
time
to
stop
Reckless
and
over
spending
in
over
unnecessary
and
overpriced
projects.
Everyone
needs
to
know
how
much
their
Surplus
is,
and
there
should
not
be
a
rush
to
spend
it
all.
In
one
year
you
can
decide
so
that
you
all
can
decide
the
best
and
most
resourceful
way
to
use
those
funds.
Finally,
it's
essential
that
the
we
fund
a
hundred
percent
on
the
pensions
we
need
to
get
ahead
of
this
increasing
debt.
S
We
accumulate
by
paying
only
90
percent
of
their
debt.
Evanston
has
been
Financial
financially
irresponsible
and
a
number
of
years
ago
that
we
could
have
been
paying
a
hundred
percent
of
our
payment
today
would
only
be
seven
million
dollars.
Instead,
we
are
paying
21
1
million
dollars
and
going
higher
every
year
as
we
accumulate
more
and
more
debt
on
this.
Second
of
all,
UL
doesn't
need
a
light.
Everyone
will
know
they're
here
when
they're
here,
I,
don't.
A
T
Good
evening
mayor
biss
clerk,
Mendoza
members
of
the
council,
I'm
Heather
public,
my
husband,
DeAndre
and
I
own
soul
and
smoke
in
the
Fifth
Ward.
Are
you
sorry?
Are
you
going
to
be
here
tonight
he's
at
the
Midwest
pork
Summit
in
St
Louis,
but
we
are
a
mwbe
business,
our
longtime
Evanson
residents,
and
we
now
own
the
building
at
1601,
Payne
Street,
someone's
smoke
is
a
barbecue
concept
that
is
currently
headquartered
here.
In
Evanston
we
have
a
food
truck
kiosk,
the
timeout
market
and
at
Rockwell
on
the
river.
T
Our
barbecue
sauce
is
sold
in
all
44
Mariano's
and
we
currently
offer
to
go
and
have
a
patio
out
of
our
Evanston
kitchen.
To
date,
we've
received
a
lot
of
acclaim,
including
being
on
Good
Morning,
America
best
new
restaurant
Awards
and
three
stars
from
the
Tribune
with
that
has
also
brought
a
lot
of
anticipation
around
the
opening
of
our
first
restaurant.
T
T
It
would
certainly
be
a
lot
easier
to
take
a
second
generation
restaurant
space
somewhere
else-
and
you
know
his
face-
has
more
foot
traffic
all
of
those
things,
but
the
Fifth
Ward
is
our
home
and
we're
excited
for
the
changes
that
are
coming
like
the
skate
park
and
the
Fifth
Ward
school,
and
we
want
to
be
a
small
part
of
it.
We
are
excited
for
the
changes
and
we
want
to
be
a
gathering
spot
for
all
of
Evanston.
T
We
are
in
need
of
major
structural
foundation
and
masonry
work
in
order
to
make
the
building
function
as
a
restaurant.
The
building
is
a
100
year
old,
former
Barn
that
hasn't
had
many
upgrades.
In
decades,
half
of
the
space
doesn't
even
have
HVAC
650
000
in
funding
from
the
Tiff
combined
with
the
822
000
we
are
putting
into
the
Redevelopment,
will
help
us
bridge
the
gap
and
make
it
possible
for
the
restaurant
to
be
located
in
Evanston.
The
grant
will
be.
We
are
confident
that
the
grant
will
be
repaid
within
three
years.
T
T
A
U
Mayor
biss,
other
elected
City,
Council,
Members,
City,
Clerk
and
city
manager,
Stowe
I,
came
here
tonight
to
support
the
black
employees
here
at
the
City
of
Evanston,
who
submitted
their
reports
regarding
systemic
racial
discrimination
at
the
city,
which
has
been
happening
for
decades.
U
U
What
we
are
seeing
in
this
report
is
an
affirmation
of
all
of
the
things
that
I
had
been
talking
about
from
2012
until
my
termination,
all
of
those
things
I've
encouraged
these
employees
to
acquire
legal
counsel
to
support
that
cause,
but
you
have
an
opportunity,
as
elected
officials,
to
do
something
and
as
city
manager
to
resolve
this
in
a
way
that
not
only
fixes
some
of
these
challenges,
the
racial
discrimination
challenges
that
are
occurring
in
this
city
today,
but
to
also
resolve
this
in
a
way
that
does
not
allow
for
retaliation.
U
These
individuals
are
courageous,
but
because
of
the
things
that
have
happened
in
this
city
in
the
past,
they
are
fearful
of
retaliation.
They
have
families
to
take
care
of,
they
have
their
own
responsibilities,
but
you
are
an
elected
official
that
has
the
power
to
do
the
right
thing,
this
time
and
I'm
encouraging
you,
the
city
that
has
voted
Upon,
A
reparations
program
and
has
lauded
that
across
the
country
when,
on
the
night
of
November
15th
when
that
was
voted
on,
I
received
my
termination
letter.
U
V
Clearly,
you've
all
seen
the
devastating
report
and
the
call
to
action
issued
by
the
organization
of
African-American
employees
of
the
City
of
Evanston.
They
document
racial
disparities
in
Pay
promotion
and
discipline,
cases
of
black
employees
who
are
denied
job
opportunities
only
to
see
less
qualified
whites,
given
them
unequal
work
assignments
and
retaliation
against
black
employees
who
complain
of
unfair
treatment,
and
until
today
we
have
not
heard
any
response
from
the
City
of
Evanston
to
these
allegations.
This
is
unacceptable
because,
as
Mr
Brown
said,
these
employees
fear
retaliation.
V
The
last
paragraph
of
the
letter
written
to
the
City
of
Evanston
by
the
black
employees
group
notes
that
in
Section
1
of
the
2019
resolution,
commitment
to
end
structural
racism
and
Achieve
racial
Equity,
the
city
council
of
Evanston
hereby
acknowledges
its
own
history
of
racially
motivated
policies
and
practices
apologize
apologizes
for
the
damage.
This
history
has
caused
the
city
and
declares
that
it
stands
against
white
supremacy,
I
question
the
use
of
the
word
history.
V
V
They
have
told
you
exactly
what
is
needed,
simply
Implement,
that
very
reasonable
action
plan
that
the
employees
have
provided
to
you.
Not
an
action
plan
that
you
develop.
Black
employees
are
no
longer
interested
in
the
City
of
Evanston
figuring
things
out,
as
history
has
shown
us
that
that
does
not
work.
Well,
you
do
this
by
allocating
funding
in
the
current
budget
toward
implementing
the
racial
action
change
plan
as
president
of
the
Community
Alliance
for
better
government
I
join
our
members
in
saying
that
we
are
committed
to
holding
the
City
of
Evanston
accountable.
V
W
Foreign,
my
name
is
Heather
Sweeney
I'm
speaking
as
a
resident
of
the
fourth
ward
about
the
report
compiled
by
the
black
employees
of
the
City
of
Evanston.
I
just
want
to
Echo
the
things
that
have
been
said
and
also
say
that
I
believe
the
report
and,
while
I'm
deeply
concerned,
I'm,
not
surprised
unless
we
intentionally
address
racism
and
other
forms
of
Oppression.
It
will
be
there.
It's
literally
how
our
society
is
set
up.
W
So
I
see
this
as
a
call
to
action
and
opportunity
for
the
city
to
make
change,
and
the
sad
part,
as
we
heard,
is
that
the
city
and
probably
close
to
every
municipality
and
organization
in
the
United
States
has
been
there
before,
where
people
have
brought
serious
racial
problems
to
light
only
for
those
experiences
to
be
dismissed
or
brushed
under
the
rug
and
the
cost
is
too
high.
For
that
to
happen
again.
W
A
X
Good
evening
my
name
is
Marty
klutz
I
am
an
Evanston
resident
and
also
a
partner
in
corn,
Ryan
Hospitality,
which
operates
talk
with
Diablo
Lulu's
Five
and
Dime
in
Blue,
Horse
Tavern
I'm
here
tonight
for
two
items
up
for
consideration.
The
first
is
the
UL
signage
at
1603,
orington
and
I.
Ask
that
you
guys
support
this
request
and
not
over
complicate
the
matter.
I
was
watching
the
P
D
meeting
from
home
and
I
know.
There's
some
concern
about
this
good
faith
agreement
and
some
comments
about
Northbrook.
X
L
X
And
they've
grown
and
I'm
sure
they
will
be
here,
so
we
need
them.
My
restaurants
need
my
tenants,
need
them,
I
think
it's
a
win-win
for
this
city,
and
you
know
we
got
it.
We
gotta
back
on
and
recruit
it,
but
we
don't
want
to
lose
them
right.
We
don't
want
to
scare
them
away
and
I
really
would
be
amiss
if
we
miss
this
opportunity,
because
I
think
they
will
be
blowing
away
with
their
support,
their
initiatives
and
their
actions
that
they
said
they
will
do.
I
have
complete
faith.
That
will
do
that.
X
The
second
item
up
here
tonight
to
talk
about
and
ask
that
you
support,
is
stolen.
Smoke's
requests
to
facilitate
the
restaurant
expansion.
X
Again
we
need
to
recruit
visitors,
to
Evanston,
to
spend
their
dollars
and
having
a
critical
mass
of
restaurants
is
a
great
way
to
do
that
and
but
more
importantly,
the
console
really
needs
to
support
local
businesses,
and
these
Proprietors
Heather
and
DeAndre
really
demonstrated
not
only
their
proven
concept,
but
their
commitment
to
the
community.
So
I
think
we
have
a
perfect
opportunity
here
with
the
Tiff
funds
that
we
should
put
this
money
to
use
and
really
kind
of
help
Revitalize,
this
fifth
War,
so
I
asked
you
guys
to
support
that.
A
Y
Good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council
I
am
Michael,
Nabors,
Ninth,
Ward
resident
of
Evanston
and
president
of
the
Evanston
North
Shore
branch
of
the
National
Association
for
the
advancement
of
colored
people.
In
this
position,
I
have
been
asked
to
read
a
statement
at
tonight's
console
meeting.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
share
that.
There
is
a
mission
with
regard
to
our
branch
of
the
NAACP.
Y
It
is
to
achieve
Equity
political
rights
and
social
inclusion
by
advancing
policies
and
practices
that
expand
human
and
civil
rights,
elimination
of
discrimination
and
accelerating
the
well-being,
education
and
economic
security
of
black
people
in
all
persons
of
color.
The
following
words
are
directly
from
black
employees
of
Evanston.
Y
There
were
several
disturbing
and
deeply
concerning
stories
that
we
shared
in
the
letter
and
action
plan
represented
by
black
employees
with
the
City
of
Evanston,
but
that
was
just
a
snapshot.
There
are
more
employees
both
past
and
present,
that
have
stories
that
were
not
shared.
They
are
watching
what
happens
and
are
willing
to
speak
up.
Speaking
up
is
a
difficult
thing.
Employees
have
expressed
concerns
about
retaliation
for
speaking
the
truth.
This
cannot
happen.
The
employees
that
were
courageous
enough
to
do
something
about
the
long-standing
and
Equitable
workplace
they
have
experienced
need
to
be
supported.
Y
As
stated
in
their
letter.
The
goal
of
this
black
employee
group
is
to
seek
acknowledgment
of
disparate
actions
and
to
request
actionable
remedies
that
ensure
fairness
and
equality
in
the
disbursement
of
existing
policies
and
practices
that
address
the
internal
culture
of
privilege
and
disparities
in
Employment
Practices.
The
NAACP
Evanston
is
committed
to
supporting
City
of
Evanston
black
employees
and
is
willing
to
help
encourage
productive
discussion
toward
implementation
of
the
action
plan
that
was
provided
in
support
of
these
employees.
Y
Naacp
is
demanding
that
the
City
of
Evanston
publicly
commits
to
acknowledging
the
issues
shared
and
addressing
racial
inequity
within
the
organization.
Countless
black
employees
have
watched
issues,
get
ignored
or
swept
aside
for
decades.
This
cannot
happen
not
anymore.
This
will
not
go
away.
We
will
not
go
away.
Please
acknowledge
and
commit
to
doing
better.
City
of
Evanston
eyes
are
watching
and
waiting.
Z
I
first
would
like
to
say:
I
stand
in
solidarity
with
the
City
of
Evanston
black
employees
and
I,
with
what
others
have
said.
Look
very
forward
to
getting
updates
like
next
city
council
meeting
tell
us
how
this
is
working
and
what's
going
on,
that
would
be
transparent.
That
would
be
right
and
people
everywhere
in
this
town
needs
to
know
what's
happening
with
that.
Z
Secondly,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
budget,
it
feels
like
the
City
of
Evanston
has
issues
around
Financial,
infidelity,
yeah
I
said
it.
The
public
has
asked
questions
that
get
deferred
to
someone,
that's
not
responsible
for
the
budget,
which
also
delays
the
answer
an
example
of
this
recently
it
was.
There
was
a
reference
made
to
the
2022
bonds.
Z
We
were
then
told
we
didn't
issue
Bonds
in
2022,
but
Laura
Biggs.
We
had
to
wait
for
her
to
tell
us
why
that
was
indicated
in
the
financials
information
was
initially
shared
that
showed
we
had
4.1
million
dollars
in
Surplus,
specifically
folks.
That
means
unassigned
funds
extra
money,
but
later
we
were
told
that
that
was
a
typo
and
it
was
actually
14.1
million
dollars.
15.
Z
Yeah,
it
was
confusing
to
find
out
where
the
14.1
million
was
coming
from
and
to
get
answers
on
What.
The
projected
Surplus
is
likely
likely
to
be
by
the
end
of
this
year.
We
should
know
that
now
so
that
we
can
be
in
conversation
with
you
folks,
on
where
we
think
the
greatest
need
on
spending
money
we
have
is:
please
fund
the
police
and
fire
pensions
now.
That
is
also
an
equitable
thing
to
do
on
behalf
of
our
residents
and
the
most
vulnerable.
Thank
you.

The
report
from
the
black
employee
has
shined
in
light
on
the
blatant
racism
and
microaggressions
that
many
blacks
who
work
for
the
city
have
been
forced
to
endure
for
years,
maybe
even
decades
Everson
has
a
problem
with
providing
an
equitable
workplace
for
black
employees,
while
continuously
touting
Everson
as
one
of
the
most
livable
cities.
As
we
boast
about
the
wonderful
diversity
we
have
here,
it's
often
described
as
utopia,
also
known
as
heavenston
the
employees
grievances
are
not
new.
The
black
employees
report
deserves
a
public
response
from
the
mayor,
council
and
city
manager.
AA
AA
Failure
to
do
so
will
only
prove
that
Evanston,
the
so-called
most
livable
City,
that
uses
a
lens
of
equity
that
it
works
towards
towards
Equity,
will
be
considered
Hollow
and
performative.
In
order
to
have
Equity,
we
must
have
truth.
We
must
start
funding
properly,
funding
our
fire
and
police
pension.
It's
not
a.
AA
A
liability
it
works
like
a
credit
card
and
interest
keeps
occurring
when
you
pay
the
bare
minimum,
which
is
what
we've
been
doing
for
a
very
long
time
had.
Then
this
is
the
result.
Had
we
been
fully
funding
the
fire
and
police
pensions
along
with
paying,
we
would
be
paying
7
million
instead
of
21
million,
which
would
leave
us
about
14
million
dollars
to
fund,
affordable
housing
cover
water
and
sewage
increases
and
replace
lead
pipes
throughout
the
city.
A
AA
AB
We
are
grateful
to
the
black
employees
who
gathered
and
then
shared
their
experiences
and
the
experiences
of
many
of
their
colleagues
with
the
rest
of
the
community.
Perhaps
at
Great
risk
to
themselves,
we
were
saddened
to
read
their
first-person
testimonies
outlining
the
climate
that
exists
for
many
black
City
of
Evanston
employees.
AB
Ywca
recognizes
the
imperative
toward
action
that
was
lifted
up
in
this
powerful
report
and
we
support
the
needs
identified
with
respect
to
required
education
of
all
city
employees
and
the
need
to
adopt
transformative
actions
which
will
lead
to
systemic
changes.
It's
up
to
us
to
insist
on
transparency,
all
of
us
and
also
to
insist
on
speed
in
responding
to
the
issues
that
have
been
raised
to
make
the
city
a
more
Equitable
place
for
its
black
employees.
AB
AC
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
Evanston
black
for
fight
for
black
lives
and
resolution
H2
and
a
half
years
ago,
Evanson
fight
for
black
lives
created
an
extensive
document
breaking
down
how
to
reorganize
the
current
system
of
Public
Safety
in
the
City
of
Evanston.
The
plan
is
clear,
well
organized
and
based
on
sound
and
thorough
data.
It
includes
an
entire
section
on
how
to
begin
the
defunding
process
that
was
written
by
an
expert
in
the
field
and
addresses
many
of
the
issues.
Leap
is
being
hired
to
address.
The
city
has
not
taken
our
work
seriously.
AC
Maybe
you
think
we're
just
a
bunch
of
kids
who
don't
know
what
we
are
really
thinking
about
or
don't
have
the
experience
needed
a
seriously
weigh
in
our
organizers
are
teachers,
students,
nonprofit
workers,
artists,
scientists,
farmers
and
environmentalists,
they're,
board
members,
volunteers,
legal
aid,
interns,
clergy,
people
and
active
community
members.
They
have
college
degrees
in
public
policy,
Education,
Human,
Rights,
political
science,
criminal
justice,
biology,
Neuroscience
law,
Car,
Sales,
Systems
and
social
work.
We
are
from
the
generation
with
the
most
available
and
fastest
growing
knowledge
and
most
inclusive
politics.
AC
We
are
intelligent
and
we
represent
many
of
the
people.
The
city
talks
about
wanting
input
from
the
city
has
not
taken
the
work
of
their
own
employees
and
representatives
seriously.
First
word:
Alderman
Claire
Kelly
has
been
doing
the
work
you
would
hire
Lee
to
do
herself
and
two
years
ago,
seventh
word:
Alderman,
Eleanor
Ravel
undertook
a
project
to
analyze,
911
data
with
the
Human
Services
committee,
the
exact
purpose
of
legal
potential
work
within
the
city.
We
don't
need
more
consultants
and
more
wasted
time.
AC
We
need
to
take
action
based
on
all
the
data
that's
already
been
collected
in
the
past
year,
many
of
our
organizers
have
moved
out
of
Evanston
in
part
to
return
to
their
universities
or
to
pursue
full-time
jobs
and
in
part,
because
this
city
is
not
an
affordable
place
to
live
for
working-class
people.
In
these
times,
however,
do
not
mistake
this
for
a
lack
of
care
or
stake
in
the
future
of
Evanston,
specifically
as
it
relates
to
policing
our
homes
and
families
are
here.
AC
We
have
done
the
work
that
the
city
has
run
around
in
circles,
trying
to
recreate
all
while
dismissing
and
ignoring
what
has
already
been
put
in
front
of
them.
We've
expressed
a
number
of
times
that
we've
created
a
working
document.
The
city
can
use
to
build
off
of
expand
and
alter
to
become
a
realistic
tool.
We
have
done
this
for
free
and
continue
to
do
so.
AC
We
were
a
part
of
the
reimagining
committee
and
sat
through
meeting
after
meeting
where
very
little
was
accomplished
and
most
time
was
spent
planning
on
how
we
would
begin
to
approach
the
issue
rather
than
actually
starting
to
approach
it.
The
committee
felt
more
like
a
sticker.
The
city
could
use
to
say
they're
committed
to
change,
rather
than
actually
making
change.
AC
Hiring
an
outside
program
made
up
almost
entirely
of
current
and
former
police
officers
is
unnecessary
and
counterintuitive
to
the
needs
of
evanston's,
most
vulnerable
populations,
Evanston
professors,
Youth
and
Young
people
and
input
from
all
community
members.
When
young
people
choose
to
step
up
and
take
action
where
they
see
Injustice,
our
experiences
both
lived
and
learned
are
minimized.
We
are
told
to
change
the
system
from
the
inside
and
to
go
through
the
proper
channels
to
get
things
accomplished.
AC
Espl
has
been
and
is
currently
on
the
inside
and
part
of
the
channels,
and
the
groundwork
we
have
already
laid
is
still
being
ignored.
We
demand
that
the
city
takes
seriously
the
work
of
its
empowered
young
people
and
invest
in
the
community
that
is
accountable
to
we
know
Evanston,
we
are
Evanston
and
several
community
members
and
organizations
have
already
started
this
work
for
free.
Our
attempts
to.
AC
I
Good
evening,
everybody
speaking
on
behalf
of
efbl
and
solidarity
with
evanston's
black
employees,
many
of
us
are
lifelong
Evanston,
emersonians
and,
as
such,
have
been
here
most
of
our
lives
about
how
diverse
and
accepting
Edison
is.
We've
also
lived,
Our
Lives
as
examples
of
the
hypocrisy
of
those
viewpoints
while
Edison
is
diverse
in
accepting
relatives
to
other
cities,
the
bar
for
what
constitutes
and
accepting
or
diverse
city
is
not
very
high
in
a
country
founded
on
slavery
and
genocide.
I
The
vestiges
of
white
supremacy
practices
ingrained
in
this
country
were
shown
to
not
be
invested,
but
fully
Alive
and
Well
practiced
within
our
City's
government
on
November,
2nd
2022
black
employees,
working
for
the
city
of
evidence
released
an
entire
packet
with
personal
accounts,
qualitative
and
quantitative
data
that
prove
the
city
has
been
discriminated
against.
Black
employees
for
years
as
Gina
cash
was
Evanston.
Roundtable
article
points
out
more
than
half
the
employee
survey
have
worked
for
the
city
for
at
least
10
years.
I
They
specifically
excuse
me
the
specifically
anti-black
actions
that
the
city
committee
and
continues
to
commit
have
only
formally
been
addressed
in
public
form
at
the
beginning
of
his
meeting.
That's
12
days,
these
employees
experiences
have
not
been
addressed
in
a
proper
way.
The
report
includes
everything
from
widespread
status,
barriers
and
nepotism
and
hiring
and
career
advancement,
opportunities
to
microaggressions,
blatant
anti-blackness
and
white
supremacist
ideologies
on
and
off
the
clock.
The
city
is
not
a
giant
puppy.
The
city
is
not
giant
puppets
to
Your
Hands
in
the
Sky.
I
The
city
is
made
up
of
individual
prejudices
and
biases
that
inform
their
everyday
actions.
We
demand
an
individuals
responsible
to
be
held
accountable
in
a
manner
that
is
acceptable
to
those
they
have
harmed
efbl
unequivocally
supports
the
black
employees
at
the
City
of
Evanston.
We
stand
in
solidarity
with
you
and
we
urge
the
city
to
address
with
Justice
care
and
intentionality,
as
there
would
be
no
save
episode
without
you.
I
That
was
on
behalf
of
efpl
on
behalf
of
myself.
Real
quick
I
want
to
add
that
for
over
a
decade,
I'm
sure,
even
before
that
this
is
how
long
I've
been
paying
attention
that
the
city's
had
issues
where
we
allow
people
to
engage
in
discrimination,
harassment
in
ways
to
often
amount
to
violence
and
intimidation,
and
we
allow
people
doing
these
behaviors
to
give
it
little
to
no
consequence,
and
then
you
want
to
know
why
it
continues
to
happen
and
to
read
their
issue.
I
You
brought
up
earlier
legitimizing,
Evanston
now
and
their
watered
down
journalism
to
support,
trying
to
publicly
shame
people
who
are
behind
on
rent
as
if
rent
is
Affordable
anywhere
in
this
country.
Here's
another
example
of
how
majority
white
self-proclaimed
Progressive
city
is
not
actually
being
very
Progressive
at
all.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
AD
AE
Okay,
sorry,
my
name
is
Kathleen
McCann
I'm,
a
resident
of
the
Seventh
Ward
and
I'm
just
here
to
support.
AE
AF
Thank
you.
It
is
clear
that
the
human
resources
department
for
one
has
failed
its
black
employees.
First
and
foremost,
it
has
also
treated
staff
inequitably
based
on
race
and
gender,
as
reflected
last
year
with
the
Lifeguard
Scandal.
Moreover,
the
city
has
conducted
recent
hiring
searches
of
major
staff
positions
in
a
haphazard,
often
closed-door
manner.
The
answer
is
not
hiring
another
racial
Equity
manager,
whose
position
was
illuminated
anyway
or
to
conduct
more
internal
studies,
its
fortuitous
that
this
is
budget
time,
because
the
City
of
Evanston
can
take
steps
immediately
to
remediate
its
own
workplace
by
Outsourcing.
AF
All
human
relations
functions
to
a
vetted
outside
contractor
such
a
contractor
also
skilled
in
diversity.
Equity
inclusion
and
Justice
practices
would
handle
confidential,
employee
relations
matters,
overseas,
searches
and
hiring
represent
the
city
in
searching
for
improved
employee
benefits,
ensure
compliance
with
all
applicable
labor
laws
and
conduct
a
full
Equity
audit
of
employment
policies
and
practices.
AF
Outsourcing
has
many
advantages,
chief
of
which
is
impartiality,
expertise
and
accountability
for
results.
I
suggest
that
the
city
Azure
consult
with
the
society
for
human
resources
management
and
the
government
Alliance
for
racial
equity
and
next
steps,
including
on
drafting
a
request
for
qualifications
to
HR
firms.
This
doesn't
have
to
be
permanent,
but
evanston's
internal
human
resources
system
is
broken
and
needs
to
be
fixed.
Outsourcing
is
tantamount
to
putting
trust
in
a
receiver
for
a
specific
amount
of
time
who
will
rectify
the
discriminatory
wrongs
that.
AG
Yes,
sorry
I
found
the
on
mute,
so
thank
you
great
I
yeah.
It
was
brilliant
in
describing
a
complicated
situation
and
the
approaches
that
can
and
must
be
taken
to
rectify
the
situation
and
alternative
methods.
If
those
situations,
if
those
remedies,
don't
aren't
effective
enough,
it
all
goes
back
to
initially.
AG
The
discussions
are
on
the
budget
and
Resident
input
and
Betty
Esther's
comment
about
a
group
that
she
was
part
of
the
formation
group
and
I
attended
as
a
resident
and
a
number
of
residents
attending
was
made
basically
one
or
two
people
at
a
time.
So
it's
a
significant
change
to
deviate
from
that
and
ignore
all
the
things
that
could
have
been
done
correctly.
AG
Had
it
been
formed
on
the
basis
of
inclusive
and
complete
participation,
at
least
from
my
opinion,
and
participate
limited
participation
with
that
group
as
a
resident
in
terms
of
of
what's
going
on
in
the
discussions,
it's
outrageous
that
we're
still
discussing
or
that
that
has
discussing
that
that
we
should
be
at
a
place
where
the
wrongs
and
injustices
to
our
black
community
is
is,
is
just
augmented
and
worsened
by
the.
AG
AG
Can
the
Edison
animal
shelter
develop
integrated
programs
to
synergize,
with
Health
and
Human
Service,
health
and
well-being
programs?
And,
lastly,
why
not
re-establish
Evanston
Township
to
expand
access
and
programs
like
neighboring
townships?
Are
there
now
cost
savings
or
synergies
post
covid-19
that
we
didn't
know
before
when
Edison
Township
was
disbanded,
so
I
would
very
much
appreciate
that
the
city
approaches
equity
in
a
serious
manner,
including
all
people
who
are
a
disadvantage,
and
that
includes
climate
change.
AG
If
I
may
finish,
and
with
regard
to
climate
change,
we
know
that
the
low
income
or
vulnerable
are
the
the
worst
affected,
and
so
they
should
be
the
first
on
the
list.
With
regard
to
climate
change,
initiatives
and.
M
A
Thank
you
very
much.
This
concludes
public
comment
for
the
evening
and
brings
us
to
special
orders
of
business.
The
first
item,
sp1,
is
for
discussion.
So
I
think
we
should
begin
there.
Does
anyone
have
any
issues
they
want
to
raise
either
suggestions
or
questions
or
discussion
items
relative
to
the
capital
Improvement
program.
A
Councilman
Reed
moves
that
we
discuss
item
sp1,
yeah
council
member
in
seconds.
The
item
is
now
on
the
floor,
which
is
good
because
it
gives
you
some
time
to
fuss
with
the
timer
and
now
and
now,
council,
member
nusma.
AH
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayor,
now
that
it's
official
yeah
thanks
to
staff
for
putting
in
the
work
on
this
budget
I
think
we're
getting
close.
I
would
like
to
include
Fitzsimmons
Park
in
this
in
the
2023
Capital
plan.
Fitzsimmons
Park
is
one
of
the
two
Fourth
Ward
parks
that
haven't
made
the
cut
in
the
draft
in
front
of
us
tonight.
The
other
one
is
Larimer.
Park
Larimer
is
on
for
975
thousand
dollars.
AH
I
understand
that
public
engagement
in
that
in
that
process
is
going
to
take
some
time
and
we
might
not
be
able
to
get
to
that
project
anyway.
Even
if
we
had
enough
money,
but
the
work
we're
doing
at
Fitzsimmons,
Park
is
only
budgeted
at
125
000
Fitzsimmons
Park
is
the
park
immediately
south
of
Nichols
school
that
one's
particularly
important
to
Residents
in
that
neighborhood
Who
Cannot,
or
do
not
choose
to
use
gray
Park,
which
is
at
the
corner
of
ridge
in
Maine.
AH
A
lot
of
the
residents
of
Albany
care
Avail
themselves
of
gray
Park
I
have
no
problem
with
that.
They
are
Evanston
residents
entitled
to
use
the
park,
but
some
families
do
feel
more
comfortable
going
to
the
next
closest
park,
which
is
Fitzsimmons
Park,
desperately
in
need
of
some
improvement,
and
so
in
order
to
allow
families
in
that
neighborhood
a
place
to
enjoy
Evanston
Parks
I'd
like
to
include
Fitzsimmons
park
in
that
budget
for
next
year.
That's
all
for
now.
Thank
you.
AI
I
also
appreciate
all
the
work
staff
has
done
and
developing
a
list
of
proposed
projects
to
defer
I
think
was
very
helpful.
AI
One
of
the
projects
is
in
my
ward
and
I'm
sorry
to
see
it
postponed
for
a
year,
but
I
appreciate
it's
a
big
budget
item,
Big
Ticket
item,
so
I
I
understand
why
we're
deferring
it
and
we
are
going
to
be
continuing
with
the
our
community
engagement
to
plan
the
renovations,
so
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
very
exciting
opportunity
for
my
residents.
So
I
will
look
forward
to
Independence
Park
being
renovated
in
I,
guess,
2024.
E
Yes,
I
want
to
be
sure
that
I'm
not
missing
something,
but
our
alley
Pavements
listed
here
in
the
CIP
plan
or
I,
guess
that
Capital
Improvement
plan.
B
Members
of
city
council,
my
name
is
Laura
Biggs
I'm,
the
city
engineer.
Yes,
The
Alley
pavement
projects
are
included
in
the
capital
Improvement
program.
They
generally
rely
very
little
on.
There
is
a
small
or
is
a
portion
commitment
of
the
general
obligation
bonds,
but
they're
largely
funded
out
of
other
funding
sources.
Yeah.
E
I'm
sorry
I
wasn't
clear
enough
what
I
was
really
asking
for
I'm
in
the
packet
I'm
wondering
if
they
were
listed,
you
know.
Have
we
have
the
projects,
the
ones
that
got
the
green
light?
The
ones
that
you
know
are
in
red
is:
are
alleys
listed
the
alleys
that
will
be
paid
for
2023
listed
here.
L
AG
W
AI
The
CIP,
so
if
you
go.
AK
I
have
one
quick
question
and
I
don't
know
if
this
was
for
you
Laura
or
for
hitach,
so
based
on
the
Deferred
projects,
we
have
11
million
in
go
bonds
that
we
wouldn't
be
issuing
in
in
item
SP2,
which,
with
the
what's
the
overall
impact
on
the
budget
number
so
just
strictly
the
lack
of
gold
bonds
or
how
is
that
reflected
in
SP2.
L
AK
So
I
was
curious,
so
looking
at
SP
I'm
getting
a
little
bit
of
how
to
ourselves.
So
when
we
look
at
SP2
and
we
have
the
revised
budget
at
400
million-
is
this
taking
to
account
all
the
Deferred
projects.
AL
AK
Okay,
so,
and
the
reason
then,
why
it
didn't
drop
as
much
is
because
we're
just
not
issuing
bonds
correct.
Okay,
thanks.
AM
So
I
would
just
ask
again:
I've
sent
a
list
to
city
manager,
Stowe
of
cuts,
I
think
there's
some
areas
we
don't
it
doesn't
have
to
be
all
or
nothing
I
think
even
like
the
Ecology
Center.
We
could
consider
doing
just
what
we
really
have
to
do,
given
that
next
year
we
are
going
to
be
facing
somewhat
of
a
recession,
and
rates
will
be
high
when
we
look
at
issuing
bonds.
So
I'm
I'll
share
that
with
staff.
AM
Also,
but
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
areas
where
we
can
cut
where
we're
considering
allocating
funding.
W
AM
Again,
I'd
ask
that
we
look
at
again
at
the
square
footage
price
of
the
animal
shelter.
I
love
the
animal
shelter,
but
I
think
we
can.
We
don't
need
to
be
spending
Top
Dollar
on
square
footage
price
for
the
Evanston
animal
shelter.
I
think
we
can
try
to
bring
ourselves
more
in
line
to
expenditures
for
other
animal
shelter.
So
I
would
just
ask
that
we
really
try
to
come
back
again
and
reduce
this
even
more
and
again,
I'll
share
some
of
the
areas.
AM
A
E
E
You
know
one
of
the
biggest
complaints
that
I've
gotten
is
eighth
ward.
Council
member
is
Lighting
in
James
Park.
E
A
lot
of
folks
have
been
concerned
about
a
lack
of
proper
Lighting
in
James
Park,
and
this
budget
makes
an
investment
in
that
lighting,
making
that
our
that
part
of
town
and
the
park
safer
for
residents
24
hour
throughout
the
day
with
the
new
lighting
and
so
I
I,
want
to
note
that
and
and
I
just
really
want
to
thank
staff
for
the
deep
consideration
here
with
the
capital
Improvement
budget
I.
E
Think
this
Council
and
and
and
many
others
I
don't
want
to
take
away
from
other
councils,
but
certainly
I
want
to
highlight
that
this
council
is
really
committed
to
making
sure
that
we're
funding
the
the
work
of
the
city
and
I
think
we're
gonna
have
some
more
discussions
tonight
as
we
get
into
the
budget
ordinance.
E
Some
of
that
making
sure
that
we
have
funding
to
be
responsible
to
ensure
that
we're
providing
the
services
that
residents
expect
means
that
you
know
we
got
to
make
some
sacrifices
and
some
of
those
sacrifices
to
ensure
that
we're
meeting
the
goals
of
the
residents,
whether
it
be
for
Capital,
Improvement
or
other
areas.
You
know,
as
I
said,
are
going
to
take
sacrifice
and
I'm
excited
that
we're
making
these
Investments
and
excited
to
have
the
the
tougher
discussion
a
little
bit
later.
Thank
you,
foreign.
AM
So,
just
to
reiterate
what
I
said,
but
I'm
seeing
here
that,
like
that
the
Civic
Center
window
replacement
for
three
million
dollars
is
still
and
I
thought
that
had
come
off
so
I'm
a
little
bit
surprised,
especially
given
like
we
haven't,
seen
any
supporting
quotes
or
bids
or
inspection
reports
and
I
think
it
was
I
thought
it
was
already
decided
that
that
would
come
off
or
else
or
very
much
smaller
portion
would
be
allocated
for
just
the
windows
that
really
need
to
be
replaced
and
that
need
to
be
open.
B
Of
surprised
to
still
see
that
on
there
that
the
Civic
Center
replacement
is
not
included
in
the
list
of
projects,
none
of
the
Civic
Center
projects
were
based
on
feedback
from
the
council.
A
Two
minutes
and
20
seconds
left
because
I'm
really
slow
on
the
draw
here.
Councilmember
Reed.
E
Yes,
okay,
one
one
thing
that
I
would
like
to
see
in
the
the
CIP
that
is
not
I,
don't
know.
If
polish,
or
not
that
I'm
asking
Paul
to
come
out.
L
E
Explain
this
now,
but
I've
been
working
with
the
Arts
Council
and
economic
development
to
develop
an
art
Park
under
the
Mulford
viaduct
in
an
area
that
is
extremely
underproductive,
it's
a
dead
end,
Street
and
I.
Think
we
have
some
for
a
very
affordable
price,
can
get
a
really
neat
project
done.
Councilman
produce
my
advocated
to
get
a
park,
move
bumped
up
from
I
think
list
B
to
list
a
and
I
I
too
would
like
to
see.
E
You
know
before
we
actually
pass
this
because
just
for
discussion
now,
if
we
can
work
with
Paul
and
the
Arts
Council,
get
an
estimate
I'm
presuming
it's
you
know
for
the
actual
installation,
we're
probably
talking
under
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
for
the
Art
Park
and
so
I'd
like
to
see
that
included
here,
if
possible,
and
so
I
don't
know
the
mechanism
for
that.
As
I
said,
it's
gone
to
Art
Council,
it's
been
discussed
there.
E
It
has
been
discussed
at
Economic,
Development
Committee
as
well,
and
there
is
I
think
some
interest
in
Economic,
Development,
Committee
and
so
we're
close
to
the
final
stages
and
I
think
we
can
get
this
done
in
2023
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
budgeted
for
and
so
Mr
Mayor.
Would
you
prefer?
This
is
just
for
discussion.
Is
a
motion
to
mend
fine
or
to
bring
this
back
and
councilmember.
A
AO
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
would
dislike
to
note
with
Cartwright
Arc
there
are.
This
is
the
playground,
equipment
and
also
flooding
issues
and
I'd
like
to
make
a
note
for
Stuff.
The
flooding
issues
create
a
safety
concern
because
there
is
no
sidewalk
on
either
side
of
the
street
on
that
part
of
Grant.
So
the
flooded
path
is
the
only
means
of
pedestrian
traffic
I'm
that
part
of
Grant.
So
I'd
like
to
request
that
we
take
a
look
at
bifurcating
that
and
I
understand.
AO
We
all
need
to
make
sacrifices
and
if
that's
that's
fine
but
I'd
like
to
some
consideration
the
safety
concerns,
since
there
is
no
sidewalk
on
either
side
of
Grant
there.
If
it
would
be
possible
to
include
path
Innovations
to
mitigate
that
flooding
and
I
I
understand
again
like
we
all
got
to
make
sacrifices
here
and
that's
the
playground
equipment.
That's
fine,
but
but
the
path
is
a
is
a
safety
concern.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
think
that
now
concludes
the
discussion
on
item
sp1.
We've
had
some
I
think
useful
feedback
for
staff
and
Things
Different
for
their
engagement
in
this
discussion.
A
So
the
next
SP2
through
sp9
are
all
budget
related
ordinances
that
are
on
the
agenda
for
introduction.
So
someone
could
make
a
motion
to
overall
them
at
once
or
for
some
portion
of
them,
but
the
next
I
guess
eight
items
on
the
agenda
are
all
kind
of
parallel
and
bundled
together.
I'll.
A
E
E
I
have
two
amendments
to
the
budget.
I
haven't
spoken
to
everyone
personally
about
this,
but
we've
certainly
had
discussion
about
it.
E
The
last
meeting
and
I
think
there
was
support,
and
so
one
I
think
increasing
the
motor
fuel
tax
by
two
cents
would
bring
in
over
500
000,
but
you
know
conservatively
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
worth
of
worth
of
Revenue
that
we
could
dedicate
toward
our
carp
goals,
particularly
when
in
relation
to
Green
infrastructure,
and
so
I
would
like
to
amend
our
budget
to
include
a
two
cent
increase
in
the
motor
fuel
tax
which
just
for
folks
who
weren't
around
at
the
last
meeting.
E
Our
current
motor
fuel
tax
is
set
at
three
cent
per
gallon,
which
is
lower
than
our
largest
neighbor
Chicago's
motor
fuel
tax,
to
set
at
eight
cents
per.
N
E
Our
neighbor
Skokie,
for
example,
has
said
it
also
three
cent
per
gallon,
but
I.
Don't
think
we
need
to
follow
the
lead
of
Skokie
all
the
time,
so
a
move
that
we
increase
our
motor
fuel
tax
by
a
move
that
we
suspend
the
rules
don't
have
to
write
this
down,
but
no
I
I
seriously.
I
do
move
that
we
suspend
the
I'm.
Sorry
the
move
that
we
increase.
The
motor
fuel
tax
by
Tucson
per.
A
Gallon,
so
let
me
just
before
you
write
it
down
or
you
can
work
on
it
if
you
want,
but
just
Mr
Comics.
Do
you
mind
weighing
in
I
is?
Are.
A
AP
Good
evening,
members
of
city
council
city
manager,
still
clerk
Mendoza,
Nicholas
Cummings
Corporation
Council.
Yes,
the
revenue
portions
of
the
budget
are
just
as
amendable
as
the
city
council's
desire
to
remove
items
from
the
budget.
Previous
discussions
behind
the
scenes
have
led
to
the
ordinance
that
is
before
you
today.
Since
the
budget
hearing,
it
has
been
amended
without
a
proper
motion
based
upon
the
feedback
from
the
council.
So
now
we
actually
have
a
formal
motion
to
amend
the
revenue
portion
and
that
is
proper.
E
Yes,
I
do
have
several
I
I'm
going
to
get
this
one
off
and
then
maybe
I'll
pass
the
Baton
to
someone
else
to
discuss
and
then
I'll
write
them
all
up
and.
E
Progress,
maybe
I'll
include
two,
so
the
other,
so
that's
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
two
cent
and
motor
fuel
tax
and
then,
if
we
were
to
make
a
another
five
dollar
increase
in
the
will
tax
for
2023.
That
would
give
us
another
200
to
250
000
annually.
Again,
that
could
go
right
into
again
supporting
our
carp
goals
and
Green
Transportation
here
in
the
city
and
again
that
five
dollar
increase
in
the
in
the
will
tax
would
also
well.
E
That
would
begin
to
bring
us
into
parity
with
Chicago's
will
text.
AP
Was
just
reminded
by
our
CFO
that
a
separate
ordinance
wouldn't
necessarily
be
required
to
make
this
amendment,
because
we
have
to
change
the
city
code
to
reflect
that,
in
addition
to
changing
the
budget
and
revenue,
so
just
wanted
to
make
the
council
aware
of
that
as
well
that
if
we
do
make
that
Amendment?
Yes,
it
is
amending
the
budget
ordinance,
but
a
separate
ordinance
would
be
necessary
in
order
to
change
the
city
code
to
reflect
the
change
in
the
cost.
Yes,.
E
Thank
you
and
and
I
think
we
can
make
this
amendment
here
and
it's
you
know
Crossing
out
a
you
know
a
number
on
both
of
those
ordinances
and
so
I
think
staff
can
certainly
have
those
are
visions
that
would
accompany
the
change
in
the
budget
for
us
for
the
next
meeting
and
we.
AP
A
timely
session
yeah
right
so
logistically
there
will
be
an
ordinance
for
introduction
to
him
in
the
city
code
at
the
next
regular
city
council
meeting
and
then
followed
by
action.
So
by
the
time
the
budget
kicks
in
yes,
it
would
be
in
effect,
but
so
councilmember
reads:
Point,
there's
a
separate
ordinance
that
need
to
be
that
needs
to
be
prepared.
AP
A
Getting
it
now
well,
then,
I
guess
I
can
just
stall
for
a
second.
A
Actually,
while
I'm
stalling
so
I,
just
I
want
to
show
my
cards
here,
I'm
I'm
uneasy
with
the
with
two
things,
not
the
same
necessarily
opposed,
but
as
I'm
contemplating
this
I'm
uneasy
with
two
things.
A
One
is
just
the
abruptness
near
the
end
of
the
budget
during
the
end
of
the
whole
year,
but
the
other
is
you
know:
we've
had
particularly
on
a
staff
level,
some
real
analysis
about
the
regressive
and
inequitable
ramifications
of
refines
and
fees,
and
you
know
I'm
I'm
as
interested
in
moving
away
from
carbon,
as
anybody
and
I'm
is
interested
in
raising
revenue
for
carp
goals,
but
I'm.
Also,
mindful
of
our
internal
commitment
to
work
on
the
distributional
ramifications
of
our
fines
and
fees
and
so
Luke.
Is
there
anybody
from
staff
available
tonight?
E
I
certainly
hear
and
appreciate
your
your
concerns.
There
Mr
Mayor
I
again
we're
talking
about
a
two
cent
increase
in
the
the
motor
fuel
tax.
E
You
know
I
I,
you
know
if,
if
people
just
think
tax
is
generally
are
aggressive,
that's
that's
fine,
but
I.
Don't
think
a
two
two
cent
increase
in
the
will
attack.
I'm
sorry
in
the
motor
fuel
tax
is
a
regressive
tax.
E
You
know
again,
some
of
our
neighbors
have
a
higher
motor
fuel
tax
and
and
to
ensure
that
you
know
those
same
communities
that
I
think
that
these
funds
can
also
we
can
get
creative
with
the
use
of
these
funds.
These
you
know.
E
We
know
that
the
same
communities
that
are
most
that
could
be
in
in
what
you're
saying
most
impacted
by
this
policy
are
also
most
impacted
by
our
lack
of
action
in
climate
resilience
in
our
climate,
resiliency
planning
and
so
I
think
making
these
Investments
getting
this
funding
from
the
entire
city
and
being
able
to
make
these
Investments.
E
That
will
improve
the
lives
of
folks
who
live
in
the
Fifth
Ward
that
live
in
my
ward,
where
my
ward
has
the
lowest
air
quality
in
in
in
the
city
where
we
have
folks
who
have
longer
commute
times
than
some
other
folks.
I
think
we
can
take
this
and
make
a
substantial
investment
here
to
make
life
better
for
Evans
and
residents,
make
the
air
healthier
and
ensure
that
we're
doing
it
in
in
a
progressive
way
that
protects
our
environment.
AH
I
have
not
seconded
the
wheel
tax
yeah,
but
he
seconded
I
have
seconded
the
the
motor
fuel
tax
increase.
A
All
right
so,
notwithstanding
the
single
email,
it
sounds
like
there's
two
emotions:
the
motion
from
council
member
read
first
to
I
sent
this
now
to
everybody
on
Council
to
increase
the
motor
fuel
tax
by
two
cents
seconded
by
council,
member
nusma
and
Emotion
by
councilman.
Well,
so
there's
been
a
motion
by
council
member
Reed
to
increase
the
motor
fuel
tax
by
two
cents
seconded
by
council
member.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
that
motion
foreign.
AK
So
I'm
just
a
little
bit
concerned
that
it
will
be
affecting
our
working
class
citizens,
people
who
have
to
commute
and
drives
places.
I
also
don't
know
exactly
how
that
will
affect
our
gas
stations
and
their
business.
You
know
that
you
already
have
people
you
know,
will
drive
across
town
to
get
cheaper
gas
and
I.
Don't
know
if
that'll
be
a
negative
impact
to
I,
don't
know,
I
think
there's
at
least
two
or
three
gas
stations,
not
sure.
F
Thank
you,
I
think
Council
mayor
had
had
us
mentioned
I'm
just
concerned
about
the
two
cent
we
hear
taxing
on
top
of
taxing
while
it's
a
green
initiative.
I
so
appreciate
that
I
think
it's
going
to
hurt
those
in
which
we're
trying
to
help
on
a
green
sense,
but
we're
going
to
economically
impact
I'm
wondering
if
my
fellow
council
member
would
be
willing
to
look
at
a
one
cent
increase.
F
AI
Well,
I
would
second
council
member
Harris's
suggestion
that
we
just
look
at
a
one
cent
increase
to
the
motor
field
tax.
A
E
A
E
I
I
hear
I,
hear
what
my
colleagues
are
saying,
one
to
the
point
about
the
gas
stations
I'm.
You
know
not
super
concerned
about
the
profits
of
BP
or
Exxon
or
or
those
companies,
but
I,
I
and
and
I.
This
is
a
two
cent
increase.
This
we
will
be
below
what
where
Chicago
is
with
this
two
cent
increase.
This
will
bring
a
and
a
decent
amount
of
revenue
for
the
city
to
implement
our
climate
action
plans
and
I.
E
Think
that's
an
important
investment
for
us
to
make,
and
so
I
I
hear
the
call
for
a
once.
An
increase
I'd
like
to
hold
firm
at
two
cent
to
ensure
that
we're
garnering.
A
I
think
Cara
Pratt,
our
sustainability
resilience
coordinator
just
entered
the
room.
AQ
A
F
I
just
appreciate
ments
and
that
I
will
pass
three
gas
stations
trying
to
find
the
cheapest
one.
So
while
I
live
in
Evanston
I
will
go
to
Skokie
if
it's
cheaper
and
so
will
our
residents
and
we
want
to
retain
our
evidence,
purchasing
gas
here
and
again.
It's
it's
half
a
dozen
in
one
hand
six
in
another,
but
I
think
we
need
to
do
the
right
thing
and
if
we
want
to
do
two
cent,
look
at
that
later.
I'm
gonna
still
ask
for
my
council
member
to
consider
one
cent.
A
So
I
think
we're
now
entering
into
the
procedural
thing
that
I
am
of
the
highest
propensity
of
messing
up,
so
I
think
what's
happening
is
councilmember.
Reed
is
moving
to
amend
his
Amendment
friendly.
E
A
L
A
He's
he's
made
us
he's,
made
a
substitute
Amendment,
yes,
and
my
assertion
I'm
just
speaking
out
loud
to
educate
myself
about
what
I
should
do
in
a
second.
Is
that
if
that
motion
is
seconded
and
passes
that
we're
done,
then
that
we
don't
need
to
then
vote
on
an
amended
Amendment,
correct.
Okay!
Is
there
a
second
to
council
member
Reed
substitute.
L
A
E
And
what
I,
what
I
want
to
do
is
I,
don't
have
anything
to
change.
I
just
want
to
with
our
finance
department.
Get
as
this
comes
back
just
have
some
estimates
if
they
can
run
some
estimates
of
what
the
revenue
might
be.
With
this
one
cent
increase
they're
I
think
our
website
may
be
incorrect
about
what
our
motor
fuel
tax
is
based
on
our
code,
and
so
I
just
want
to
get
some
analysis,
but
the
one
cent
increase,
I
think
is
still
not
really
important.
A
And
this
is
maybe
a
little
premature,
given
that
we
haven't
had
the
vote
yet,
but
I
just
I
would
add.
My
I
would
put
myself
in
line
with
council
member
Reed.
Should
this
pass
in
a
moment,
I
would
like
to
see
the
analysis
that
were
presented
for
the
next
vote
include
information
about
the
distributional
question
and
any
input,
and
how
that
relates
to
the
fines
and
fees
work
that
our
staff
has
put
so
much
time
into.
A
A
It
was
seven
voting
in
favor
and
two
voting
against
the
motion.
Passes
and
SP2
is
duly
amended.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
items.
E
One
last
Amendment
to
make
that
I
already
sent,
which
is
the
five
dollar
increase
to
the
will
text.
This
is
something
that
we
have
done
some
research
on
recently.
For
this
year
there
was
a
five
dollar
increase
and
I
think
next
year.
It
makes
sense
to
also
make
one
more
five
dollar
increase,
bring
us
in
line
with
Chicago.
This
move
through
committee
previously
through
apnw,
the
prior
iteration
move
through
APW.
E
So
we've
got
a
lot
of
good
data
on
this
one,
so
I
I
move
that
we
increase
the
will
tax
by
five
dollars
and
that
will
guaranteed
bring
in
about
200
to
250
000
of
Revenue.
A
N
A
AP
Just
had
a
question
because
the
way
the
code
is
set
up,
it
divides
up
the
wheel
tax
based
on
vehicle,
and
so
I
just
want
to
find
out.
Is
it
per.
A
A
little
again
sorry,
you
all
get
to
hear
the
internal
monologue
tonight,
because
I
want
to
make
as
few
mistakes
as
possible.
Customer
Kelly
had
the
first
light,
but
I
think
it
might
have
not
been
about
this
item
the
rest
of
the
budget
right,
but
not
about
this
amendment
to
SP2
yeah,
so
we'll
hold
you
we'll
hold
off
until
then
council
member
Revell,
who
has
four
minutes
and
15
seconds
left.
AI
I,
so
we
did
just
do
a
five
dollar
increase
this
year.
I
think
that's
quite
a
bit
for
a
lot
of
our
families
to
absorb
and
I
I'm,
not
opposed
to
another
five
dollars
eventually,
but
I.
Think
next
year
is
too
soon
and
then
we
we
got
a
memo.
It
seems
to
me
recently
that
talked
about
our
difficulty
in
collecting
our
wheel
tax
because
we're
not
enforcing
it
I
mean
I'm
I
I
can't
remember
where
I
saw
that
memo.
E
AI
E
Yeah
I
am
I,
know
and
I,
don't
know
where
Mike
Rivera
or
Lucas
tatara
they're.
Usually
here
are
parking
managers
and
in
in
this
case
the
parking
staff
made
some
amendments
to
the
wheel
tax
code
to
increase
compliance
and
those
were
implemented
this
year.
E
E
E
E
A
K
AO
A
With
three
voting
in
favor
and
six
voting
against
the
motion
fails,
we
now
return
to
discussion
on
SP2,
which
has
been
amended
once
but
not
twice.
The
first
in
line
is
council
member
Kelly.
AM
Address
fully
funding
of
the
pension,
I
think
we've
heard
loud
and
clear,
there's
a
tremendous
interest
and
will
to
turn
that
pattern
around
and
to
begin
fully
funding
this
year.
So
I'd
like
to
have
the
budget
amended
I
can
talk
about
how
I
I
know
we
can
fund
this
through
Surplus,
but
not
just
Surplus.
That's
been
presented,
but
I'd
also
like
to
then
make
a
few
more
amendments
regarding
Revenue,
but
can
I
move
just
to
fully
fund
first?
AM
L
A
Separate
motions,
you
know,
certainly
anything
that
amends
the
budget
is
in
order.
I,
as
you
saw
from
councilmember
reads:
emails
I'm.
Not
you
don't
need
to
be
loquacious
and
you're
putting
it
in
writing.
It
just
needs
to
be
precise,
so
we
don't
wind
up
tomorrow
morning
arguing
about
what
was
done.
A
AM
AM
Of
zeros
in
it
well,
there
might
be
a
one
or
two
in
there.
I
can
guess
exact
number
two,
but
he
did
that's
what
he
said.
4.5
million
several
times
now
he
stated
that
that
is
the
amount
so
I'd
like
to
in
I'd
like
to
increase
our
funding
by
4.5
million
and
get
the
exact.
If
we
need.
You
know,
government,
if
that
makes
people
feel
more
comfortable.
A
AM
The
budget?
Okay.
So
how
about?
If
I
just
say
at
this
point
that
we
fully
Fund
in
accordance
with
the
with
the
numbers
provided
to
us
by
Mr
Franken,
but
that
is
in
at
roughly
4.5
million.
So
we
don't
need
the
number
I'm
saying
to
fully
fund
and
it
is
at
4.5
million.
Approximately.
AK
AM
AM
So
I
don't
think
you
need
to
be
so
difficult
I
think
we
can
vote
to
fully
fund.
That
amount
has
been
stated
numerous
times
now
and
provided
to
us,
and
if
it's
you
know
if
it's.
A
AM
Let's
do
a
straw
poll
so
I'd
like
to
take
a
straw
poll.
AM
A
AM
Pass
as
the
budget
that's
fine,
so
it
would
be
to
give
directions
so
I'd
like
to
take
a
straw
poll
in
order
to
give
direction
to
staff,
finance
and
budget.
In
our
discussions
we
unanimously
at
our
last
meeting.
We
all
agree
that
we
wanted
to
recommend
fully
funding
of
the
pension
with
that
number
of
4.5,
but
that's
fine.
So,
let's.
AN
AJ
A
AK
AM
So
great,
that's
great
news,
that's
very
exciting!
So
now
I
would
like
to
actually
make
a
motion
to
increase
our
pprt.
AM
Revenue
for
next
year,
currently
it's
listed
at
1.75
million
for
next
year.
I
do
have
some
issues
with
what
how
we've
been
funding.
For
example,
this
year
the
pprt
was
at
600
000.
The
IML
gives
projections
on
the
pprt,
so
the
IML
you
know,
based
on
and
I,
think
we
should
start
using,
and
you
know
their
projections.
So
this
year
we
budgeted
our
finance
department,
budgeted
600
000
for
our
pprt,
we're
already
up
to
about
4
million,
and
that
was
projected.
AM
We
could
have
seen
that
through
the
IML
projection,
charts
So,
based
on
what
the
IML
is
projecting
for
next
year,
there's
going
to
be
a
slight
dip,
because
the
recession
right
now
I'm
glad
to
see
just
that
you've
increased
it
to
1.75
million,
but
we
were.
We
are
at
this
year
right
now
close
to
4
million
with
a
slight
dip.
It
will
probably
be
closer
to
if
we
follow
the
the
guidelines
from
the
IML
closer
to
3
million
next
year.
AM
A
N
E
Right,
I
am
Natasha,
do
you
want
to
so
right,
just
to
or.
E
A
AL
Right
so
yes,
the
UCS
revenues
are
higher,
but
obviously
the
state
has
notified
us
that
this
is
for
the
unique
reasons
they
change
the
systems
they
get
one-time
income
and
again
I
mean
one
thing
which
comes.
AL
This
is
one
time
I,
don't
think
we
would
ever
get
it
when
I
was
looking
at
the
last
five
to
seven
years
history,
we
were
never
close
to
that
number
in
the
past
so
and
that's
why
you
will
still
yeah,
considering
the
iml's,
revised
numbers
and
considering
13
percent
n.
Yes,
I
am
a
little
bit
conservative
accounting
for
the
state's
potential
action.
So
that's
why
even
we
bumped
up
our
budget
by
1.1
million
dollar
from
600
000
to
1.7
million.
AL
The
other
thing
is
sometimes
yes,
council
members,
when
we
do
the
budget,
which
is
like
in
August,
September
October,
and
then
by
the
time
we
see
the
numbers
which
is
in
the
three
months
four
months
out
in
the
year
in
the
early
spring
or
the
it's
almost
like
six,
eight
months
Gap
and
there's
continual
revisions
IML
others.
We
look
at
those
estimates
and
it
goes
both
ways
upward
or
downward
in
the
past.
In
the
recession
times
it
has
gone
downwards.
Our
income
tax
projections
also
so
I
think
yeah
I
mean
2.7.
AL
AL
We
get
this
numbers
based
on
Illinois
Municipal
League,
they
kind
of
work
with
the
state
government
and
they
provide
these
numbers
periodically
and
then
they
revise
it,
based
on
the
like
input
from
their
steadilism
and
all
that
so,
and
particularly
in
this
case,
they
have
told
us
that
this
is
only
for
this
year.
It's
going
to
be
high
and
then
they
I
just
read
it
like
a
few
months
ago.
AL
AM
Is
there
an
email
coming?
No,
there
is
also
send
that
now.
AM
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
the
IML
has
been
really
almost
exact
when
it
look
at
their
projections
and
what
we
are
receiving
and
what
we've
received
so
for
22
to
have
projected
600
000
when
in
fact,
the
year
prior
to
that
we
brought
in
2.87
million
and
the
IML
was
predicting
predicting
almost
a
double
in
income.
So
that
to
me,
like
I,
don't
know
where
you
got
that
600
000
number.
AM
AM
If
that
would
make
you
more
comfortable
at
2.5.
I
still
think
at
1.75
million
we're
going
to
still
come
in
well
under
what
the
IML
is
projecting
in
terms
of
and.
AL
AM
Thank
you,
yeah,
okay,
so
I
I
would
like
to
keep
it
at
at
the
one.
What
I
just
sent
you
two
point,
increasing
it
by
one
million
to
two.
AM
It's
in
urine
it's
in
yours,
if
you
could
again,
we've
been
way
underestimating
and
again.
This
is
money,
then
that
we
can
allocate
towards
fully
funding
of
our
pensions
and
I
think
it
should
be
stated
that
you
know
the
pprt
was
designed
to
provide
a
revenue
source
for
local
governments
to
meet
pension
obligations.
AM
I
mean
this
is
one
of
its
primary
goals.
So
so
you
know
again
we're
almost
up
to
four
million
this
year
by
at
more
accurately,
projecting
next
year.
We
can
therefore,
you
know,
do
the
mechanics
to
allocate
that
money
instead
towards
our
towards
that's
one
way,
to
be
able
to
more
fully
fund
our
pensions
without
hitting
taxpayers,
and
then
I
have
another
proposal
also
in
a
moment.
So.
A
A
Council
member
was
that
a
phantom
light
from
you,
I.
A
I
mean
it
is
no
I
mean
you're,
not
next
I
just
want
to
so
counselor
Newsome
is
next.
Thank.
AH
You
thank
you
Mr
Mayor,
I'm
I'm
intrigued
by
this,
but
don't
you
have
enough
information
to
feel
comfortable
with
it.
Councilmember
Kelly,
if
you
could,
in
reference
to
the
the
comprehensive
budget
document,
point
me
to
a
page
in
a
line
so
I
know
I
have
a
better
idea
of
what
we're
talking
about
sure.
AM
I
mean
I
I
went
through
each
of
our
budgets
and
looked
at
what
was
projected
for
each.
What
the
projected
was,
the
estimate
of
what
the
actual
was
and
then
I'll
send
you.
The
link
to
the
IML
I
worked
also
some
time
with
Brad
Cole
to
go
over
these
all
these
numbers.
AM
They
have
great
resources,
I'll,
send
you
the
links
to
those
too,
so
you
can
see
what
projected
increases
are
from
year
to
year
and
why
it's
a
good
idea
to
look
at
that
when
we
project
what
we
expect
to
receive
and
I'm
completely
comfortable
with
going
under
that
to
always
be
on
the
safe
side.
We
don't
you
know
to
not
to
exceed,
but
we
absolutely
can
increase
it
from
from
the
1.75
for
next
year
and
should
have
been
higher
this
year.
Yeah.
AH
I
E
AH
Pprt
appears
six
times.
AM
A
AL
AM
E
A
E
A
AH
A
Serious
look:
it's
10
30
at
night,
we've
got
a
ton
of
stuff
ahead.
I
don't
want
us
to
make
poor
decisions
because
we're
here
at
two
in
the
morning.
If
the
council
tells
me
get
rid
of
time
limits,
they're
gone
until
I
hear
that
from
Council
I'm
keeping
a
time
limits,
because
I
think
that's
the
responsibility
for
us
to
have
the
best
chance
of
making
good
decisions
throughout
this
meeting
to.
E
AN
AP
Just
wanted
to
remind
the
chair
that
debate
is
limited
to
five
minutes,
but
it's
assumed
in
the
absence
of
objections
by
the
council
that
the
time
limit
being
enforced.
So
if
I
can
read
it
verbatim,
no
accounts.
Member
shall
speak
for
longer
than
five
minutes
on
the
same
subject,
except
by
consent
of
a
majority
of
the
council.
Council
consent
shall
be
assumed
in
the
absence
of
objection
by
any
council
member
or
the
mayor.
The
mayor
is.
AP
A
Yeah
no
I
want
to
reiterate
I
think
that
it
is
wise
for
us
to
follow
the
time
limit
so
that,
given
how
much
is
ahead
of
us,
which
is
I'll
remind
folks
a
lot
of
stuff,
we
have
the
best
chance
possible
of
making
those
decisions
with
our
minds
in
the
best
possible
position.
I,
don't
think
that
involves
unlimited
debate.
If
folks
disagree,
I
will
follow
the
rules.
A
AP
She
can
but
a
motion
the
table
would
then
limit
any
other
action
on
this
tonight,
because
there's
no
emotional
table
is
not
debatable,
so
then
it
would
just
be
tabled,
and
if
there
were
other
things
that
wanted
to
be
discussed
by
the
other
people
that
actually
have
time
they
would
have
to
wait
until
next
week.
A
A
Don't
why
don't
we?
You
can
you've
stayed
at
your
intention.
I
think
that's
a
good
idea.
I
mean
I'll,
just
say
editorially
it.
It
worries
me
and
it
I
remember
watching
the
previous
council
do
this
too
it
worried
me,
then
the
notion
of
kind
of
amending
the
budget
on
the
Fly
doesn't
feel
great
to
me.
So
I
think
I
think
you
know
to
me.
It
sounds
wise
to
table
this
and
we
can,
through
you
know,
meetings
with
three
of
us
together.
A
fewer
meetings
of
individual
to
staff.
A
Email
correspondents
done
appropriately
do
some
of
the
discussion
that
ought
to
happen
between
now
and
next
Monday,
but
in
the
meantime,
I
think
Nick's
right.
We
shouldn't
curtail
council's
ability
to
use
up
the
time
they
have
giving
input
tonight,
because
it's
a
big
deal
so
I
would
say
we'll
call
on
you,
when
other
folks
have
used
up
their
time
to
make
that
motion
to
table
and,
in
the
meantime,
we'll
continue
the
discussion.
So
we
continue
then,
with
council
member
Harris,
who
has
four
minutes
left.
F
No
I
I
appreciate
councilmember
Kelly's
wanting
to
have
these
motions
being
I'm
gonna,
keep
saying
this
until
I'm,
not
new
being
new.
It
does
become
confusing
on
not
having
that
in
front
of
us
and
making
decisions
for
our
constituents
on
the
fly.
So
I
appreciate
her
understanding
that
and
pulling
back
to
give
us
opportunity
to
really
look
at
it,
critique
it
and
make
some
wise
decisions.
AM
My
intention
was
originally
to
hold
it,
but
then,
when
we
voted
on
the
tax,
the
gas
tax
that
I
thought-
oh,
we
have
to
I
had
to
do
this
this
evening,
so
I'm
much
more
comfortable,
sending
this
out
to
everybody.
The
pprng
is
incredibly
complicated
and
I
and
I
think
it
would
I
think
it
actually
behooves
us
all
to
understand,
because
it
is
it's
also
a
significant
Revenue
source,
so
I
am
going
to
remove.
My
motion.
A
So
councilmember
Kelly
with
broader
motion,
so
we're
back
at
SP2,
which
again
councilmember
Kelly
intends
to
move
to
table
which
I
think
is
a
I
would
personally
hope
folks
support
that
motion,
but
there's
still
time
to
discuss
it.
So
if
anyone
has
any
further
questions
or
input
on
SP2
now
is
your
moment.
AN
I
think
this
supplies,
but
I
just
want
to
say
to
council
member
reads
his
his
Amendment
regarding
the
will
tax
that
I
supported
it
mainly
because
I
think
this
I
would
love
this
Council
to
get
serious
about
Revenue
generation.
We
we're
gonna,
there's
a
lot
of
requests
for
funds,
even
requests
for
funds
in
this
meeting.
Large
numbers,
big
numbers
that
are
going
to
impact
our
budget,
and
we
don't
talk
enough
about
Revenue.
You
know-
and
it's
always
a
difficult
conversation,
but
it's
one
I
think
worth
having
that.
AN
We
need
to
have
and
I
feel
way
more
comfortable
doing
it
around
things
that
that
involve
Vehicles,
because
I
don't
think
we
come
near
what
we
need
getting.
What
we
need
to
from
people
who
drive
vehicles,
including
myself,
to
take
care
of
our
roads
to
to
to
get
anywhere
near
meeting
our
climate
action
resiliency
goals,
and
we
need
to
get
serious
from
it
again.
AN
It's
a
tough
pill
to
swallow
sometimes
doesn't
feel
good
politically
and
I
don't
mean
that
in
a
in
a
in
a
in
a
bad
sense,
I
mean
we
all
represent
constituents,
and
you
know
when
they
push
back.
We
we
should
hear
that
that
should
impact
the
way
we
vote
up
here
so
I'm
not
saying
that
in
a
bad
way,
but
we
do
we
do
need
to
get
serious
about
Revenue
and
so
I
would
ask
staff
if
we
can
do
a
forward.
AN
Look
at
this
just
shouldn't
just
be
coming
from
counselor,
read,
I
think
as
a
full
staff.
As
a
community
I'd
love
to
see
you
know,
looking
ahead,
what
type
of
schedule
we
can
be
in
be
on
to
increase.
You
know
whether
it's
taxes,
fines,
whatever
it
is,
but
what
type
of
schedule
do
we
need
to
get
on
to
realistically
meet
some
of
the
demands
that
we
always
talk
about,
including
carp
and
others?
So
that's
why
I
supported
it
again.
AK
So
I
know
last
meeting
we
had
an
idea:
a
revenue
generation
idea,
I
liked
with
the
non-resident
parking
at
facilities.
AK
G
Good
evening
mayor
members
of
city
council,
clerk,
Mendoza
Luke's
docity
manager,
we
do
believe
that
there
may
be
support
on
the
council,
but
there's
just
a
lot
of
considerations
that
would
go
into
that
identifying
which
locations,
if
it's
a
family
from
out
of
town,
that's
there
for
several
hours
all
day
at
Robert
Crown,
for
example,
for
a
tournament.
AM
And
again,
I'll
write
this
all
up,
but
I'd
also
recommend
that
we
increase
by
500
000
our
real
estate
transfer
tax.
We
are
routinely
way
under
budgeted
way
under
last
year.
We
budgeted
3.13
million
and
we
ended
up
with
6.1
that
we
didn't
know
about
until
you
know
after
we
passed
the
budget,
so
I'm
going
to
also
recommend
that,
but
I'll
write
that
up
I'm,
not
just
that's
all.
A
Is
there
further
discussion
about
item
SP2.
E
N
E
And
actually
educate
our
residents
about
our
100
million
dollar
unfunded
infrastructure
reliability.
If
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
we're
meeting
our
carp
goals,
we
need
to
make
investments
two
dollars
and
fifty
cents.
Five
dollars
is
a
minimum
and
is:
is
it
I
can't
see
how
folks
can
really
see
that
as
aggressive?
We
need
Teamsters.
Thank.
AH
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
so
councilmember
Kelly
you're,
suggesting
we
increase
our
projection
for
the
real
estate
transfer
tax
I'm
concerned
that
we
don't
expect
too
much
from
that
Revenue
Source,
especially
in
2023
with
the
high
interest
rate
environment,
I.
Think
the
last
few
years
of
history
is
not
something
that
we
can
expect
to
carry
forward
to
2023,
so
I
would
be
reluctant
to
increase
that
projection
without
some
significant.
You
know,
research
that
that
would
help
us
justify
that
number.
In
the
end,
it's
just
a
prediction
and
I
think
to
be
financially
prudent.
AH
AM
I
was
being
very
restrained
in
the
amount
because
we
always
weigh
under
so
what
I
was
advocating
for
was
a
500
000
increase,
which
I
know
we're
also
going
to
come
out
considerably
under
with
that.
So
again,
I
wasn't,
like
I,
said:
we've
always
been
way
under
way
way
under,
and
so
this
isn't
much
of
an
increase
to
at
least
come
closer
and
to
not
than
you
know,
have
our
taxpayers
pay
that
difference.
That's
going
to
come
back
as
Surplus.
AL
Just
to
kind
of
clarify
on
the
real
estate
transfer
tax,
two
things:
council,
member
youth
method.
AL
One
thing
is
the
high
interest
rate
that
might
affect,
particularly
if
that
affects
us
on
the
commercial
side,
because
that
was
the
main
driving
force
for
the
last
year
and
the
other
thing
is
I
heard
initially
right
now
it
says
the
assessment
is
going
to
go
up
by
30
percent
and
that
might
impact
us
too,
because
I
see
that
in
2020
because
of
the
uncertainty,
we
only
generated
three
million
dollars
in
the
overall
tax
revenue
and
obviously
we
have
after
they've
settled
all
the
appeals
and
all
that
and
with
the
low
interested
environment
which
helped
us
in
the
last
two
years
in
21
and
22
and
again,
this
is
yeah
kind
of
be
affected
by
two
factors:
the
high
interest
rate,
as
well
as
the
higher
tax
assessment
foreign.
A
AM
Our
next
council
meeting
so
to
to.
L
A
Know,
councilmember
Kelly

B
A
L
A
A
AM
There's
an
amendment
on
here
by
council
member
Harris
to
in
addition,
adding
that
residents
with
income
levels
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
or
less
the
they
would
pay
five
thousand
and
fifteen
thousands
for
200.
So
it's
I
don't
did
that
gets
sent
that
Amendment
from
Mr
Steinbeck.
AM
A
AM
Here
it
says
so
it's
the
same
as
everything
here,
but
we're
adding.
In
addition,
if
the
income
level
is
a
hundred
thousand
or
less,
then
it's
five
thousand
dollars,
rather
than
fifteen
thousand
looking
at
it
through
a
lens
of
equity,
so
as
not
to
unduly
harm
our
lower
income
residents.
AH
AM
AH
Exactly
okay,
I
I
am
going
to
oppose
this
as
sympathetic
as
I
am
to
any
homeowner
who
has
a
huge
unforeseen,
Property
Maintenance
expense,
I'm,
reluctant
to
put
the
city
on
the
hook
for
an
unknown
number
of
of
potentially
millions
of
dollars.
You
know
into
the
future,
so
I
will
be
opposing
this
I'll
keep
my
comments
short.
E
Yeah
I
I
appreciate
councilmember
news
concern,
as
staff's
documents
have
shown
us,
the
estimated
liability
is
likely
fifty
thousand
dollars
a
year,
so
you
know
it
could
be
Millions
over
the
next.
E
You
know
Century,
but
seemingly,
unless
staff
has
something
that
shows
that
they
expect
a
mass
failure
in
our
sewer
system.
I
think
that
that
estimate
of
you
know
fifty
thousand,
maybe
in
a
bad
year,
100
150
000.
If
we
have
three
sewers,
fail,
we're
also
not
covering
the
full
cost.
E
I,
don't
expect
this
to
be
a
huge
expense,
according
to
the
information
that
was
provided
by
staff,
and
so
I
am
in
support
of
this
and
I
think
this
really
ensures
that
we're
looking
out
that
we're
we're
looking
out
for
our
neighbors
and
ensuring
that
everyone
has
access
to
a
sewer.
E
It's
a
public
health
concern,
and
that
is
exactly
why
we
are
here
recognizing
the
public
benefit
of
ensuring
that
everyone
has
access
to
a
working
sewer
line
regardless
of
their
income
and
that
having
a
working
sewer,
doesn't
you
know
nearly
you
know
either
bankrupt,
bankrupt
someone
or
cause
them
to
to
severely
draw
down
on
their
savings.
E
AN
As
I
said
in
APW,
I
think
that
was
I
think
initially
I
was
thinking
about
this
different
I
thought.
This
was
a
proposal
to
address
in
in
water
line
terms
kind
of
the
private
side
of
the
sewer
line,
which
it
is
not.
It
only
aims
to
address
what
if
it
were
a
water
line,
the
city
is
already
responsible
for
so
for
me
that
changed
things
tremendously,
because
I
don't
think
we
can.
We
should
look
at
it
as
some
unknown
amount
that
we
would.
AN
AN
Yes,
as
long
as
we're
willing
to
make
that
commitment,
we
have
I
think
two
and
a
half
million
that
we
want
to
keep
in
our
sewer
Reserve
funds
which
I
do
want
to
stay
at
that
amount,
and
so
I
just
want
everybody
here
to
to
also
commit
to
raising
our
sewer
rates.
If
need
be,
I
don't
think
we'll
have
to
it's,
certainly
not
in
anytime
soon,
because
we
do
have
a
reserve
fund.
A
L
A
Discussion
with
the
clerk,
please
take
the
role.
AH
A
Member
headaches

five
voting

us
to
item

where
I
believe
council
member
erikaris
has
a
motion
to
make.

A
With
nine

non-voting

and
action
in
a
single

evening,
council
member,

Cutters?
Would
you
like
to
make
that
motion.
AK
Sure
I
would
make
the
motion
to
what's
the
procedure
again.
A
A
Is

a
second
second
council
member
at
Academy

pass
ordinance

This
would
be
final
action
council
member

Is
there
any
discussion?
A
Aye
with
nine
voting
in
favor
and
none

the

passes
in
ordinance,
122-0-22
is

This
brings
us
now
to
item
P2
council
member
nusma.
Would
you
like
to
make
a

AH
Yes,
Mr

I'd
like

the

allow
introduction

immediate
action
this
evening
and
ordinance

approving
zoning
relief
for
Underwriters
lab
signed
the
jit
1603
orington.
A
E
A
AH
You
Mr
Mayor,
you
know
based
on
our
discussion
at
ampw.
This
does
her
at
Planning
and
Development.
Rather,
this
does
have
the
votes
to
pass
and
I
would
love
to
see
us
pass
this
immediately
and
welcome
a
new
employer
to
town
as
soon
as
possible.
A
K
A
A
A
With
eight
voting
in
favor
and
one
voting
against
the
motion
passes
and
the
zoning
relief
is
granted
and
we
are
pleased
to
welcome
a
new,
a
new
business,
a
new
employer
and
a
new
producer
of
downtown
office
workers
to
our
town.
A
AI
Well,
I
noticed
in
the
the
memo
in
the
packet
that
it
talked
about
how
leap
has
a
grant
for
a
good
portion
of
the
original
budget.
I
just
was
interested
in
a
little
more
information.
AN
And
I
don't
know
if
leap
is
is
here
today,
but
I
don't
have
specific
details
on
it,
but
I
think
the
you
know
in
response
to
some
of
the
concerns
expressed
through,
you
know
the
committee
and
the
council,
you
know
they
went
out
to
see
what
they
could
do
to
to
get
matching
funding
to
work
here
in
Evanston
in
the
in
the
grant
is
as
far
as
I
understand,
it
is
to
advance
this
work,
not
only
in
Evanston,
but
some
of
the
other
jurisdictions
that
they're
currently
working
in,
and
you
know,
I
think
they
feel
like
the
our
ability
to
not
only
work
on
something
but
pass
it
here
in
Evanston
is
is,
is,
is,
is,
is
a
good
one
and
they're
willing
to
make
the
investment,
so
we've
been
able
to
bring
this
down
from
40
000
to
now.
AN
Fifteen
thousand
technically
does
not
require
Council
action
at
this
point,
but
because
it
was
held
here,
you
know
it
was
only
appropriate
to
bring
it
back
for
a
vote.
I.
AI
Guess
I
just
would
say
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
already
done
in
the
community
around
the
whole
idea
of
of
the
work
that
leap's
going
to
be
doing
I'm
getting
it's
getting
late,
and
so
I
am
hopeful
that
they
can.
You
know,
bring
us
a
work
product
relatively
quickly.
AN
Yeah
not
happy
to
speak
to
to
some
of
the
concerns
that
were
expressed
in
public
comment.
AN
You
know,
I
think
there
were
and
I
want
to
get
too
deep
into
this,
because
I
really
think
that
if,
if,
if
some
of
the
public
commenters
were
to
read
this
actually,
if
they
were
to
read
the
scope,
they
would
see
that
this
is
not.
Some
leave
does
not
plan
to
come
in
or
in
their
scope.
Would
they
be
authorized
to
come
in
and
dictate
to
the
city
or
to
any
of
the
working
group
committee,
members
or
the
committee
itself,
or
anyone
really
what
is
going
to
work
here
in
Evanston
I?
AN
Think
if
you
were
to
read
the
scope,
it
speaks
about
collaboration.
The
role
of
leap
really
is
to
facilitate
in
the
same
way
that
trilogy,
because
I
reached
out
to
them
had
to
put
together
a
50-page
document.
I
think
it
was
and
spent
countless
of
hours
preparing
to
respond
to
the
RFP,
the
state
RFP
that
that
that
was
eventually
approved
and
that
now,
at
least
partially
supports
the
work
that
they're
doing
I
can't
remember
what
they
want
us
to
call
it.
AN
They
don't
want
to
call
it
Outreach,
but
the
mobile
crisis
response
is
the
same
effort
we're
going
to
need
in
order
to
not
only
think
through
all
the
different
potential
alternatives
to
to
9-1-1,
some
of
which
we've
already,
you
know,
started
to
work
on,
but
others
that
we
still
need
to
look
into
from
CSO
programs,
with
some
of
our
neighboring
communities
have
to
community
responder
programs
to
problem
solving
team
programs.
AN
AN
The
data
that
they're
now
authorized
to
to
look
at
because
we
have
a
they
haven't
they've
signed
an
agreement
with
our
Police
Department
is
data
that
that,
in
the
volume
in
which
they're
going
to
be
requestioning
will
be
completely
redacted
because
of
the
sense
of
information
that
that
that
is
provided
in
in
it
and
so
again,
I
can
respond
to
any
concerns.
But,
but
you
know
this
is
simply
a
group.
AN
That's
going
to
come
in
and
help
facilitate
these
discussions
with
our
Police
Department
with
our
committee
members
that
includes
the
public
two
public
commenters
that
you
heard
from
today
and
that
are
going
to
help
drive
this
work
forward.
I'm
appreciative
of
this
Council
for
also
approving
in
the
consent
agenda,
the
hourly
position
to
support
the
reimagining
Public
Safety
Committee
as
a
whole
and
again
this
is
just
another
step
in
the
right
direction
to
to
try
to
advance
this
work
so
that
we
can
have
some.
F
It
goes
without
saying
that
I
heard
the
residents
have
their
concerns
that
they
had
not
heard
about
this.
A
committee
that
was
formed
to
work
on
this
or
work
on
this
type
of
business.
F
AN
Yeah
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
in
response
to
that,
if
I
can't
you,
you
know
that
that
and
I
want
to
be
sensitive
here,
because
I
truly
want
to
partner
with
what
we
you
know,
everyone
that
that
has
been
a
part
of
the
working
group
that
they
that
they
mentioned.
But
everyone
has
not
I'll
say
this.
Everyone
has
not
participated
at
100
in
the
working
groups
we
have.
We
have
I,
don't
want
to
go
too
far,
but
we
have
the
the
this
issue
was
discussed
at
the
working
group.
AN
Leap
has
been
a
regular
leap
as
well
as
ACLU
and
other
partnering
organizations
have
been
a
staple
in
our
meetings
and
for
those
who
attended
the
meetings,
they
would
know
that
and
and
some
people
for
frustrations
that
I
shared
decided
not
to
continue
to
to
to
participate
in
those
meetings.
One
of
them
I
think
we've
addressed
the
major
main
concern.
Is
that
again
it
really
didn't
have
any
stat
enough
staff
support
to
follow
up
on
some
of
the
things
that
the
committee
members
would
like
to
see.
AN
We've
now
addressed
that
through
hiring
this
hourly,
employee
and
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
that
we
have
app.
This
absolutely
was
brought
up
in
the
working
group
for
that
chair
they've
been
a
staple
in,
as
in
the
discussions
we
were
I,
think
one
of
the
suggestions
was
that
they
someone
one
of
the
public
conferences
reached
out
to
several
several
of
the
organizations
that
I've
mentioned
in
the
past
discussions
to
ask
about
leaving
they
didn't
know
him.
That's
not
true.
AN
Aclu,
who
has
been
a
part
of
the
discussions
at
the
in
the
working
group,
actually
recommended
that
we
work
with
Lee
work
with
fuse
work
with
everybody
else
that
that
I've,
you
know,
talked
about
the
last
several
weeks.
So
again,
there
was
a
lot
that
was
shared
I
hear
them.
We're
gonna
involve
their
input
100.
But
a
lot
of
what
was
stated
today
is
just
not
true.
AM
So
I
hear
you
loud
and
clear:
councilmember,
Burns
and
I
want
to
support
you.
I,
just
I
did
hear
from
the
community.
Also
and
I
would
just
ask
I
mean
I,
guess
I
would
need.
It
would
be
great
to
reconvene.
You
know
the
larger
re-managing
Public
Safety
and
have
it
come
back
as
recommendation
from
the
whole
group?
AM
Also
I
mean
I,
guess
I
have
wonder
and
I'm
not
saying
it
wouldn't
be
supported,
but
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
the
community
in
terms
of
trust
and
everything
else
to
to
me
with
the
whole
large
group
of
people
who
were
committed-
and
we
heard
from
some
of
those
members
today
and
then
also
compare
I
know
there
are
groups
like
every
town,
Community
initiatives
that
do
this
I'd
like
to
understand
like
see
a
a
flow
chart
of.
AM
Why
we're
going
with
leap
which
you
know
from
what
I
understand
are
former
police
officers
and
from
my
experience
talking
to
people
Staffing
these,
like
in
Denver
that
I
worked
with
a
lot
like
even
for
their
their
Chief
of
Staff
they've
they've
gravitated
towards
people
experienced
and
trained
in
Social
Service,
not
in
policing.
So
much
so
I
I
would
like
to
table
this,
and
then
just
I'd
like
to
see
like
why
you
know
versus
like
every
town
or
Community
initiatives.
AM
You
know
why
why
this
group
instead
and
it
might
work
perfectly
but
I
just-
would
like
to
see
that
and
then
I
guess
I'd
also
like
to
you
know,
do
that
so
that
one,
if
you
could
do
that
one
piece
of
Outreach
with
the
reimagining
public
safety
piece
I
think
I
would
feel
better
than
moving
forward
with
that
acknowledging
some
of
the
the
expression
that
we
heard
this
evening.
So.
N
A
AM
N
AM
Again,
actually
How
about,
if
so
that,
there's
time
until
since
all
this
is
going
to
come
up
for
intro
anyway,
till
maybe
the
not
the
21st,
but.
E
Item
H,
point
of
information
or
point
of
something
I
might
have
something
or
something
it.
A
A
The
motion
fails
for
lack
of
a
second,
so
councilmember
Kelly
still
has
the
floor.
If
you
want
it
and
then
councilman
Reed
will
be
next.
AM
Well,
I,
guess,
and
then
I
just
ask
you
councilmember
Burns,
if
you
would
consider
offering
to
do
that,
I
just
think.
It's
important
I'd
like
to
see
comparisons
with
every
town,
community
initiatives
and
some
of
the
ones
that
are
more
oriented
that
I
censor.
AM
Why
why
this
one
over
those,
for
example
and
I,
can
send
you
some
others,
but
I,
just
have
no
sense
and
I'd
also
like
I,
think,
would
be
better
for
the
community
moving
forward,
since
this
is
so
important
what
were
also
anyway,
I
think
we
should
at
least
do
that
with
the
larger
group,
so
that
the
community
can
come
back
and
feel
that
they've
been
consulted
and
took
part
in
this,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
had
moved
to
table
it,
but
I
didn't
get
a
sec.
Okay,
it's
okay!.
E
Maybe
I
can
do
a
decent
enough
job,
so
you
know
one
why
this
one?
Why
why
this
group,
why
leap
I,
think
that's
a
really
good
question
and
at
least
in
my
mind,
I'm
on
the
subcommittee,
the
councilmember
burns
chairs
I'm
on
the
the
reimagining
police.
I.
Think
leap
is
important
for
this
because
we
are
you
know
we,
let's
be
frank.
E
You
know:
we've
had
very
Frank
conversations
with
our
police
department
and
they've
expressed
some
concerns
with
with
with
this
Council
and
with
the
direction
that
the
nation
is
going
and
policing
and
I
think
it's
critically
important
to
have
a
group
that
has
been
in
the
trenches
of
law
enforcement
recommending
these
changes.
So
it
comes
from
a
place
of
credibility,
and
so
that's
why
I
really
think
leap
is
important,
an
important
partner
better
than
you
know
it's
great
to
have.
E
You
know
you
know
folks
who
are
just
Advocates
and
maybe
haven't
been
police
officers,
but
I
think
with
something
as
critical
as
this
having
former
law
enforcement
who
are
progressively
minded
and
who
really
understand
what
the
day-to-day
job
is
is
really
important
for
getting
buy-in
from
our
department.
E
So
that's
one
and
then
also
note
that
you
know
I
know
some
folks
in
public
comment
were
a
bit
and
even
I
have
been
somewhat
dismayed
with
the
seemingly
glacial
pace
of
the
reimagining
work,
and
part
of
that
is
because
we
didn't
have
a
permanent
police
chief
and
told
just
two
or
three
weeks
ago,
for
most
of
the
period
that
the
reimagining
police
or
Public
Safety
Committee,
was
in
existence
and
so
I
I
think,
with
with
those
two
points
and
and
also
I
just
want
to
highlight
we're
talking
about
fifteen
thousand
dollars
here,
we're
not
talking
about
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
we're
not
talking
about.
E
You
know
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
we're
talking
about
fifteen
thousand
dollars
here,
it's
it's
a
it's
a
minute
amount
of
money,
and
this
will
again
allow
us
to
have
law
enforcement
professionals.
Folks,
who've
been
in
the
trenches,
helping
us
dive
through
this
data
and
make
recommendations
and
I
think
that's
critically
important,
particularly
in
these
times.
A
AN
I
just
wanted
to
refer
people
back
to
the
previous
meetings
when
we
heard
from
Lee
directly
and
asked
them
how
they
were
comprised,
and
they
talked
about
not
only
being
comprised
of
people
with
law
enforcement,
both
current
and
past
law
enforcement
connection,
but
also
what
you
mentioned:
councilmember
Kelly
people
who
are
advocates
in
this
space
that
are
that
that
work
in
Social
Service,
and
so
they
approached
this
from
a
holistic
standpoint.
AN
So
I
would
ask
that
we
refer
back
to
what
they
said
about
their
organization
and
not
simply
the
comments
that
we
heard
during
maybe
five
or
ten
minutes
during
public
comment.
They
have
addressed
this
body
on
several
occasions
now
at
committee
you
had
opportunities
to
ask
those
questions
they
could
they
could
have
had
they
would
have.
Happily,
you
know,
let
you
know
exactly
who
they
are
and
who's
going
to
be
doing
this
work.
We're
not
going
to
have
you
know.
So
this
is
a
holistic
approach.
AN
People
from
a
lot
of
different
backgrounds
are
part
of
leap
they
like
to
partner
with
with
law
enforcement,
because
we
need
the
support
from
law
enforcement
in
order
to
effectively
execute
our
reimagining
work
and
I've
said
that
time
and
time
again
we
need
buying
from
them
and
so
I
think
they
see
it
as
an
asset
having
law
enforcement
across
the
the
the
the
the
country
that
are
willing
to
advocate
for
these
Progressive
reforms
that
we're
trying
to
get
past
here
in
Evanston.
But
they
are
not
completely
comprised
of
law
enforcement.
F
AN
I
I
can't
put
that
on
a
what
what
she,
what
the
chief
said
is
that
she
met
with
Lee
I
can't
do
it
in
one
word
sorry.
So,
yes,
I've
talked
to
the
chief,
but
I
had
to
bring
a
little
bit
of
professional
information
on
this.
The
chief
said
that
she
felt
comfortable
saying
that
for
the
work
that
leap
is
going
to
do
and
she's
met
with
him
now
that
they
do
not
currently
have
the
staff
capacity
to
do
that.
Work.
Okay,.
F
Okay
and
then
my
last
C
again
I
just
want
to
be
respectful
of
the
committee,
whether
they
attended
or
not,
they
didn't
have.
They
don't
feel
like
they
had
the
information
I'm
not
going
to
say
they
didn't,
have
it
at
their
fingertips,
but
they
felt
like
that.
So
we
have
to
as
a
council.
We
cannot
ignore
what
we
heard,
but
I'm
going
to
have
faith
in
you,
as
my
council
member
and
working
with
you,
and
what
you
tell
me.
AN
So
I
said:
I
wanted
to
be
careful
because
I
don't
want
to
alienate
them
that
each
part.
You
know
everybody
that
we
heard
during
public
comment
is
a
valuable
part
of
doing
this
work.
But
again
it
it
was.
There
was
some
some
pretty
clear
claims
that
were
made.
That
I
think
could
have
influenced
the
body.
So
I
had
to
just
be
honest
and
say:
look
you.
AN
AH
A
Know
probably
aren't
aware
of
this:
Chief
Stewart
is
in
the
zoom
at
this
time.
Chief
do
you
want
to
respond
to
councilmember
Harris's
question.
AR
To
confirm
I
did
have
a
conversation.
I
was
able
to
be
on
a
webinar
with
with
leap.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Next,
we
go
back
to
council
member
Kelly,
who
I
think
says
two
minutes
and
14
seconds
left.
It's
very
precise.
AM
I
AM
Know
when
I
just
was
researching
the
board
of
directors,
I
looks
like
none
of
them
have
social
worker
mental
health
background,
and
if
they
do,
if
you
could
tell
me
which
one
because
it
looks
to
me
like
none
of
them
do
and
that's
a
concern
for
me
so
again,
I
would
I
I
just
want
to
see
a
comparison.
AM
Why
we
should
go
with
this
group
rather
than
another
group
or
any
group
at
all
and
and
have
that
meeting
with
the
community
and
then
bring
it
back
so
that
it's
not
so
that
it
so
that
due
diligence
is
done.
AM
I
think
we
should
have
a
Social
Work
mental
health
leadership
in
in
the
program
that
we're
going
forward
with
not
predominantly
former
law
enforcement.
If
we're
going
to
do
a
a
pro,
the
kind
of
program
I
think
that
Evanston
is
looking
to
implements
so
I
would
just
ask
you,
council,
member
Burns,
to
consider
showing
us
why
this
one
over
the
other
ones
and
to
meet
with
the
community
so
that
and
then
bring
it
back
again.
AM
AN
AM
AN
Amos
Amos
and
Lionel
are
not
former
law
enforcement.
They
approach
this
from
both
an
academic
and
a
social
service
background.
AM
D
AM
AN
A
A
E
I'll
move
item,
H4
ordinance
or
first
I'll
move
yeah.
First
I'll
move
ordinance,
H4,
H4,
ordinance,
sorry
I'm,
confused.
It's
getting.
A
Right
so
councilmember
read
moves
Past
final
to
pass
ordinance
115-0-22
with
final
action.
Is
there
a
second.
N
E
A
Read
most
suspension
of
the
rules
to
allow
for
the
previous
motion
to
be
in
order
to
allow
for
both
introduction
and
action
on
ordinance
115-0-22
to
occur
tonight?
Is
there
a
second,
oh
second
customer
news
for
seconds.
AH
A
B
Council
member
Kelly
councilmember
Harris
councilmember
Nguyen
aye
councilmember
newsma
aye
councilmember
Burns
council
member
suffered
in
council
member,
reveal
aye
council
member
Reed
aye
council
member
had
a
goodies
aye.
A
E
Just
just
one
procedural
thing
and
then
something
more
substantive,
so
procedurally
I
just
want
to
note,
because
this
is
important.
This
particular
ordinance
did
not
go
through
the
referrals
committee.
The
Human
Services
committee
realized
that
and
we're
willing
to
given
what
director
ogbo
shared
with
us
about
the
urgency
here
to
move
forward,
but
I
want
to
note
for
both
City
Manager
stowen,
for
staff
and
for
the
mayor
and
for
all
of
us.
This
didn't
go
through
referrals
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
imply
implementing
that
across
the
board.
A
Can
I
just
cut
in
sure
just
want
to
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
There's
been
noted.
Improvements
there's
been
a
couple
instances
recently,
where
staff
kind
of
realizes
that
something
was
in
the
hopper,
inappropriately
and
staff
has
pulled
back
on
a
publicly
think.
Thank
our
team
for
that,
and
just
thank
councilman
Reed
for
flagging.
This
I
think
getting
this
issue
right
is
going
to
continue
to
be
a
collaborative
project
for
all
of
us.
Go
ahead.
Councilmember.
E
Okay
and
then
substantively
there's
just
one
thing:
I
want
to
note
here,
because
this
was
implemented,
maybe
a
little
incorrectly
previously.
So
this
very
clearly
there
are
a
whole
bunch
of
great
changes
here
that
the
health
directors
team
brought
forward
that
bring
us
some
alignment
with
new
standards
with.
Is
it
the
F
yeah.
E
New
FDA
standards,
and
so
this
means
that
one
thing
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
was
clear
and
and
made
it
into
this.
What's
before
us.
One
thing
that
I
was
really
passionate
about
was
making
sure
that
the
Peddler's
license
was
clear
that
it's
fifty
dollars,
and
previously
there
had
been
some
confusion
and
folks
were
charged
above
fifty
dollars
for
the
Peddler's
license.
I
I
want
to
see
the
eloterios
and
I'm
saying
that
incorrectly
and.
N
E
Sorry
all
right
and
I
want
to
say
you
know
the
you
know,
vendors
down
at
the
lakefront
and
at
our
parks
next
summer,
when
it's
nice
out
and
when
folks
are
down
there
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
continuing
to
get
the
word
out
about
this
license
and
that
we
are
making
the
lakefront
experience
better
for
for
Evans
and
residents
and
more
welcoming.
A
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
item
H4
Kelly.
A
A
AB
A
Councilmember
burns
moves
passage
of
item
R1
approval
of
five
million
dollars
of
arpa
funding
to
support
reparations,
Economic
Development
initiatives,
council
member
Harris
seconds.
Is
there
any
discussion
council,
member
Reed.
N
E
Do
have
a
few
well
first,
we
have
accounts
from
a
former
council
member
Alderman,
as
you
were
called
in
the
day,
Rue
Simmons
here,
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
give
any
comment
on
this
or
if
you
want
to
wait
and
if
there
are
any
questions,
yeah.
E
Okay,
so
one
thing
I
want
to
get
clear
is
what
would
our
funding
be,
what
what
would
be
left
in
arpa
if
we
were
to
make
this
transfer.
AD
It's
a
little
complicated
because
we
have
a
bunch
of
numbers
that
are
not
being
approved
tonight
that
are
being
moved
forward.
So
far.
What
has
been
approved
tonight
I
think
I
got
all
this
correct
is
the
a
million
two
hundred
thousand
for
the
rebuilding
Warehouse
and
then
the
thirty
thousand
for
the
RPS
analyst
and
the
15
000
for
leap.
So
that's
a
million
245
000.
We
started
off
with
a
balance
of
nine
million
96
423.
AD
Million
we
would
I'm
sorry,
but
I
don't
want
to
point
out
that
some
of
the
things
that
are
pending
is
two
million
one
hundred
thousand,
which
is
in
the
budget
balancing
in
the
in
the
budget
itself.
AD
AD
So
if
everything
that
I
had
put
on
the
list
of
things
that
are
pending
or
moving
through,
which
included
rebuilding
Warehouse,
the
arpa
request,
the
small
landlord
program,
which
is
coming
back
to
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
Committee
and
the
there
is
a
Mather
Workforce
Development
proposal.
That's
coming
to
the
economic
development
committee,
those
plus
the
equipment
fund
and
the
parking
fund.
If
all
of
those
things
were
to
move
forward,
we
would
have
remaining
193
423
and.
E
J
E
And
so
do
they
do
use
race-based
reparations
or
did
they
use
qualified
census
tracts?
Do
we
know
that.
AD
They,
if
you
their
eligibility,
included
people
who
had
been
harmed
by
the
city
that
included
indigenous
people,
African
Heritage
people.
AD
Of
course
this
had
to
be
tied
to
being
done
in
qualified
census
tract
and
they
also
included,
because
you
can't
fix
you
can't
keep
it
limited
only
to
any
racial
group
and
it's
they
included
residents
facing
poverty
in
those
which
are
their
people
living
in
those
census
tracts
which
they
further
defined
as
households
with
incomes
under
50
percent
of
the
area
median
and
under
30,
which
is
extremely
low
and
very
low
income.
AD
So
it's
they
have
a
lot
of
different.
They
have
an
11
point
plan
which
goes
well
beyond
Economic
Development.
It
has
lots
of
different
components
to
it.
At
least
in
there
right
up,
I,
don't
I
haven't
studied
it
in
great
detail,
so
I
don't
really
know
how
it's
being
implemented,
but
they
have
Providence
is
about
190
000
people.
AD
Their
demographics
are
somewhat
different
from
evanston's,
in
that
they
have
about
29
of
their
residents,
actually
live
below
the
poverty
line,
which
means
they
have
a
and
they
have
a
lot
more
qcts
than
we
do.
They
have
a
lot
more
census
tractors
altogether,
but
they
have
a
lot
more
qualified
senses
tracked.
That's
I,
don't
know
how
much
that
helps,
but.
E
Yeah,
no,
no,
that
that's
helpful
and
I
I
raised
that,
because
here
in
Evanston
we
have
a
an
exclusive
reparations
program.
It's
a
race-based
reparation
program
for
African,
Americans
and
I.
Have
a
I
think
we
need
to
move
forward
on
making
this
kind
of
investment
in
reparations.
E
I
wonder
if
to
allow
more
for
us
to
be
targeted
in
the
way
that
we
are
with
reparations,
to
allow
more
flexibility
and
to
not
tie
this
up
with
arpa
requirements.
If
making
a
you
know
three
to
five
million
dollar
investment
from
our
reserves
or
from
some
other
funding
source
would
make
sense
to
give
us
more
flexibility,
rather
than
you
know,
having
to
limit
in
a
seemingly
constrictive
way,
given
how
our
current
program
is
formulated.
E
You
know
using
our
upper
fund,
so
I
wonder
if
you
know
folks
are
amenable
to
to
doing
this
with
general
fund
money
rather
than
arpa,
and
then
that
would
leave
us.
You
know
this
5
million
to
continue
with
our
arpa.
AO
Thank
you
very
much.
How
did
was
the
five
million
dollar
number
arrived
at?
That's
not
addressing
the
memo.
AP
Yeah
there's
three
members
of
the
committee
here
in
the
chairs
here,
but
I
can
answer
and
they
can
correct
me
if
I'm,
wrong
and
and
also
Chic
is
here.
The
debate
at
the
reparations
committee
meeting
I
believe
was
either
in
September
or
October
when
I
went
over
an
overview
of
two
different
funding
sources
in
arpa
that
totaled
in
those
two
funding
sources-
18
million-
and
so
the
committee
determined
that
between
those
two
funds
having
18
million
that
a
reasonable
request
would
be
for
five.
E
AP
Well,
there
were
two
funds,
one
for
ten
and
one
for
eight.
It
was
negative
impacts
and
I
can't
remember
what
the
other
one
was
called,
but
the
two
funds
together
totaled
18.
E
My
understanding
is
I,
certainly
recall
referencing
to
the
committee
at
the
time
that
I
believe
that
there's
only
about
9
million
left
I
think
that
was
part
of
the
discussion.
I
think
the
committee
was
aware
of
what
was
left
in
arpa
roughly
and
it's
panning
out
so
I
think.
The
committee
was
aware
that
you
know
we're
asking
for
a
substantial
portion
of
what
was
remaining
in
arpa.
L
AO
AD
AD
The
portion,
that's
in
the
2023
budget
of
two
million
one
hundred
thousand,
is
also
the
other
significant
just
the
things
that
are
all
on
the
agenda
are
close
to
it
today.
So
it's
just.
AO
AD
My
understanding
that
is
this
is
in
addition
to
that
it
is
not.
It
does
not
affect
the
cannabis.
AP
It's
it's
two
separate
items
all
together,
so
the
arbor
funding
would
be
to
go
to
Economic
Development
projects
and
the
graduated
real
estate
transfer
tax,
which
is
R2,
would
go
to
supplement
the
Cannabis
tax
poker.
Thank.
A
A
Okay,
now
we
really
have
a
lot
of
people
and
I
actually
want
to
insert
my
privilege
to
ask
a
follow-up
to
the
next
point,
the
so
the
real
estate,
but
the
real
estate
conference
tax
that
we
will
talk
about
later
is
not
in
lieu
of
the
10
million
cannabis
revenue.
AP
A
AH
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
council
member,
suffered
and
asked
one
of
my
questions,
so
I'll
I'll,
continue
by
saying,
like
I,
am
really
proud
to
live
in
a
community
like
Evanston,
where
we're
at
the
Forefront
of
reparations
and
I'm
I
understand
that
the
lack
of
projected
cannabis
revenue
is
really
affecting
our
plans
here
and
I'd
like
to
figure
out
a
way
to
fund
our
reparations
program.
So
we
can
take
care
of
the
especially
the
seniors
who
are
going
to
need
the
money
sooner
rather
than
later.
AH
Yeah
I
am
kind
of
balking
at
a
five
million
dollar.
Ask
which
takes
our
arpa
fund
almost
down
to
you
know,
fully
almost
fully
depletes
our
fund
without
taking
a
minute
to
think
about
it,
and
if
we
approve
it
tonight,
it
would
be
for
Action,
so
I'm
I'm
uncomfortable
taking
action
on
this
tonight.
One
way
or
the
other
I'd
like
to
find
more
money
for
for
reparations,
but
I'm
a
little
bit
uncomfortable
with
this
ask
for
this
evening.
So
that's
all
for
now.
AK
AI
As
council
member
nusma
I
I
do
think
it's
really
important
or
I
appreciate
adding
Economic
Development
to
a
focus
area
for
our
reparations
work,
because
I
think
that's
something
that
the
community's
been
expecting
all
along,
but
I,
I
guess
I
I
would
feel
a
lot
more
comfortable
if,
if
there
were
more
detail
to
to
what's
going
to
be
what
the
arpa
funds
would
be
used
for,
because
all
the
other
rpro
proposals
that
we've
had
before
have
had
much
more
detailed
budgets
or
expense
categories
or
something
so
I
get
I'm
I'm
not
comfortable.
AI
Moving
forward
with
this
tonight,
either
without
more
detail
and
and
I
do
in
5
million
is,
is
a
is
a
really
big.
Ask
I.
Think
I
mean
looking
at
our
arpa
that
are
dwindling,
arpa
funds,
which
seem
so
plentiful
at
the
beginning,.
AI
I
think
I
had
one
more
thought
here:
well,
oh
and
then
actually
I'd
like
to
pick
up
on
something
council
member
read
mentioned,
which
is
you
know
that
I
share
his
concern
about
if,
if
this
is,
if
we're
using
arpa
funds,
if
this
has
to
be
census,
tract
there
eligible
eligibility
rather
than
the
focus
on
our
black
residents,
so
so
I'm,
not
I,
can't
remember
exactly
where
you
where
you
ended
up
with
your
comments.
AI
Council
member
read
but
anyway,
I
guess,
I'm
I
think
I
just
have
a
lot
more
questions
than
I
thought
than
I
have
answers
to
be
able
to
move
forward
with
this
tonight.
AP
Again,
I
don't
want
to
steal
anything
from
the
committee
or
any
other
staff
that
works
on
this,
but
the
five
million
dollars
from
my
understanding
represents
a
request
of
the
council
for
arpa
funds
to
go
toward
economic
development,
not
necessarily
that
there's
a
program
in
place.
But
it
is
an
opportunity
for
the
council
to
give
the
committee
the
five
million
dollars
so
that
they
can
actually
accept
applications
somewhat.
AP
Similarly,
to
what
we
already
do
for
arpa
funds
that
are
geared
towards
economic
development
in
in
areas
that
have
been
historically
divested
and
segregated
in
Evanston.
The
qualified
census
tracts
in
Evanston
they're
attached
in
the
packet
nearly
mirror,
if
they
don't
exactly
mirror
the
redlining,
a
historical
redlining
in
the
city.
So
yes,
there
would
be
restricted
to
qualified
census
tracts,
but
the
federal
government
routinely
uses
income
and
where
you
live,
based
on
segregation
as
similes
or
metaphors
for
race
as
a
way
to
sort
of
get
around
using
race
directly.
AP
So
just
to
answer
just
those
two
points
that
councilmember
Ravel
raised.
AN
AN
But
what
about
we?
What
if
it
went?
Source
people
who
already
lived
within
qualifying
census
drugs,
who
both
you
know
were
eligible
to
receive
reparations,
but
also
live
within,
qualifying
centers
tracks,
which
many
of
them
I'm
sure
do
the.
AP
Requirements
for
the
federal
government,
don't
exactly
mirror
our
eligibility
requirements
to
Sarah's
Point
and
what
the
treasury
says
that
we
can
use
those
those
dollars
for
that
might
be
able
to
be
used
for
rental
assistance,
for
example,
but
wouldn't
necessarily
be
able
to
use
what
the
city's
unrestricted
for
like
a
better
way
to
describe
it.
Funds
can
be
used
to
help
build
wealth
creation,
which
is
the
point
of
the
reparations
program,
can.
AN
AN
If
we
send
back
based
on
race,
if
we
send
back
to
the
federal
government,
all
the
people
who
are
already
eligible
to
receive
reparations,
but
also
live
within,
qualifying
sensitive
strikes
and
said.
Yes,
they
do
live
within
the
right
red
line
area,
which
is
also
qualifying
census
right.
We
would
like
to
direct
Arbor
funds
to
support
them.
AN
AP
AP
AN
Go
back
and
say
for
the
for
the
for
this
particular
for
for
approval
through
federal
government.
We
understand
that
that
it
should
not
be
race-based,
but
these
people
are
also
in
qualifying
almost
re-qualify
the
recipients.
We.
A
AN
L
L
AN
Re-Qualified
as
because
a
part
of
this
reparations
program
was
also
looking
at
a
redlined
area
as
as
Council
Cummings
said,
but
that's
like
the
basis
for
the
reparations
program
which
isn't
a
qualifying
census,
Trend,
and
so,
if
we
emphasize
is
that's
also
the
reason
why
we've
approved
reparations
and
only
the
forward
people
who
either
live
or
once
lived
in
that
qualifying
census
track.
E
Yeah,
if
I
can
respond
to
you
I
I,
no,
because
again
it's
we
folks
have
reiterated.
The
first
part
is
unless
we
were
to
open
that
program
up
and
allow
anyone
else
to
apply
as
well
who
lives
within
those
and
then
taking
away
yeah
yeah.
We
could
say
these
people
are
qualified,
because
these
reparations
ancestors
or
whoever
are
are
qualified
for
the
arpa
funds,
but
we'd
also
have
to
allow
other
folks
within
those
districts,
regardless
of
race,
to
apply
yes.
AI
F
Thank
you
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
5
million
percent
behind
this-
that
we
need
to
do
what's
right
and
we
understand
that
the
five
thousand
five
million
dollars
is
a
big
ask,
but
it's
appropriate
ask,
and
we
understand
that,
there's
other
issues
on
the
table.
We
just
ended
up
giving
1.2
million
dollars
for
someone
to
be
able
to
purchase
a
building.
This
money
will
recirculate
itself
in
Evanston
right.
F
It
will
help
the
community
in
which
disenfranchised
people,
so
it's
important
that
we
live
up
to
the
commitment
and
try
to
fix
the
harm.
I
get
it.
Five
million
is
a
lot,
but
it
is
nowhere
near
what
is
due
to
this
population.
Evanston
will
never
be
able
to
repay
that
five
million
dollars
is
actually
a
slap
in
the
face.
So
I
really
want
us
to
consider
this
ask
and
I
think
to
sheet.
Did
you
have
something
you
know
I
wanted
to
give
her
my
time.
D
Good
evening,
members
of
the
city
council,
mayor
city
manager,
Luke
Stowe
to
Chic
her
assistant
to
the
city
manager,
so
I
was
gonna,
answer
the
mayor's
question
and
how
to
look
at
this
program
without
attaching
race
to
it.
So
I
did
look
at
the
city
of
Fort
Worth
Texas.
They
have
a
red
line,
map
area
as
well
and
what
they
did.
D
They
kind
of
layered
their
residual
impacts
of
the
Red
Line
Community
with
other
aspects
such
as
access
to
affordable
housing,
proximity,
Healthcare
facilities
to
create
their
program.
So.
D
A
Are
you
still
okay,
council,
member
Kelly.
AM
Thank
you
so,
of
course,
I'm
100,
supportive
of
reparations
I,
do
think
there
are
other
programs
currently
I
know
are
a
lot
of
the
department,
heads
and
council
members
and
mayor
biss.
We've
met
over
many
weeks
now,
looking
at
developing
a
program
of
alternative
response
and
I
know,
director
ogbo
and
director
and
chief
polyp
are
putting
together
numbers
to
see
what
that
kind
of
response
system
would
cost,
and
so
I
I
feel
like
at
this
point
now.
AM
Those
would
also
be
then
again
also
targeting
very
you
know
in
this
case,
vulnerable
our
vulnerable
population,
so
I
I
think
this
is
so
needed
by
our
city
as
well
as
CSO
CSO,
whether
it's
you
know
Street
enforcement
team
or
or
CSO
personnel,
and
that
can
happen
in
conjunction
or
without
with
leap
I
mean
in
terms
of
allocating
the
funding.
AM
For
that
I
mean
that
can
continue
to
to
merge
with
if
we
end
up
getting
a
third
party,
but
I
I
would
like
to
just
get
some
of
those
numbers
back
so
that
we
can
make
a
decision
with
that
also
going
forward
and
I
I,
just
also
want
to
say
I
do
hear
from
some
of
my
residents
black
residents,
some
who
and
I
know
this
is
not
for
home
ownership
right
this
5
million.
This
would
not
be.
Is
that
correct?
AM
Because
I
have
residents
black
residents
in
in
the
Housing
Authority
low-income
housing
and
I've
spoke
with
some
of
the
people
at
Cook
County
that
they
could
receive
it
and
continue
to
remain
their
night.
It
is
a
little
bit.
You
know,
I
that
only
you
know
that
it's
all
tied
to
this
home
ownership
and
I,
but
I
understand
this
would
not
be
tied
to
that.
Is
that
what
we're
saying.
AM
AM
AM
It
has
to
cover
so
just
like
other
communities,
they're,
bolstering
the
efforts
of
the
federal
money
for
mental
health,
so
I'd
like
to
see
what
that
kind
of
cost
would
be
before
we,
since
this
is
the
end
of
our
of
our
bucket
of
money,
so
I
I'd
rather
wait
to
see
what
we're
looking
at
in
order
to
fund
Outreach
programs
potentially
for
next
year
and
I'd,
also
like
to
see
this
more
defined.
E
A
So
no
one
is
requesting
to
speak
for
the
first
time,
so
we'll
go
to
folks
the
the
many
folks
who
have
signed
up
to
speak
for
a
second
time,
beginning
with
council
member
Reed
who's
got
two
and
a
half
minutes
left
yeah.
E
Thank
you,
I
I,
wonder
if,
given
you
know
where
this
committee
is
regarding
arpa
funding-
and
you
know
concern
about
leaving
some
of
that
aside
for
future
projects,
I
wonder
given
the
concerns
about
you
know
maintaining
our
strictly
race-based
reparations
program
if
it
would
be
better
for
us
to
use
Reserve
funds
to
you
know
whether
it's
3.5
million
four
million
five
million
I
don't
want
to
end
or
sell
the
reparations,
if
so,
let's
just
say,
5
million
or
3.5
million
whatever
it
is.
E
If,
if
that
seems
like
something
folks
get
behind
more
so
and
I
think
that
would
you
know,
though,
that
would
give
the
reparations
committee
a
bit
more
flexibility
about
how
we
use
these
funds?
Did
you
councilmember.
AR
Thank
you
grateful
to
be
here.
Thank
you
all
for
your
service
and
sacrifice.
I.
Remember
these
late
meetings.
AR
I
just
want
to
say
just
a
little
bit
of
history
on
why
thank
you,
Corporation
Council
Cummings,
for
identifying
arpa
dollars
as
an
appropriate
Revenue
stream
for
economic
development
and
economic
development
is
one
of
three
priorities
in
resolution.
126
r19
and
those
priorities
were
informed
by
a
community
process
that
happened
in
2019
that
was
open
to
stakeholders.
AR
Meetings
were
held
over
over
the
course
of
months,
and
the
community
said
housing,
Economic,
Development
and
educational
initiatives,
and
so
what
Corporation,
Cummings
Council
Cummings
has
done
is
identified
a
way
that
we
could
use
the
arpa
dollars
for
economic
development
and
the
most
likely
use
of
Economic
Development
based
on
community
feedback
from
2019
were
more
Collective
benefits,
so
a
census
tract
actually
would
be
in
line
with
some
of
the
recommendations
that
came
in
2019
for
Collective
benefit,
looking
at
business
districts
and
the
Fifth
Ward
and
so
on.
AR
So,
although
it's
not
exact
and
ideal
and
what
we
would
like
to
see
for
for
reparations,
it
certainly
meets
the
needs
of
the
community
and
and
really
making
a
demand
and
a
case
for
economic
development
through
Collective
benefits,
which
could
be
business.
Grants
for
whole
business
districts
like
the
seba
or
the
you.
AR
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
sort
of
historical
point
to
bring
us
to
how
we
got
to
even
Economic
Development,
and
it
would
be
responding
to
the
community
we're
hearing
from
residents
all
the
time
what's
next
for
reparations,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
appreciation
and
hope
in
our
first
step
on
housing,
but
we're
hearing
from
residents
that
are
more
interested
in
Economic
Development
and
the
thing
about
reparations
and
and
the
remedies
they're
so
Broad
and
we
heard
from
the
community.
Everyone
has
a
definition
of
reparations.
AR
Is
we
have
three
priorities
in
Evanston,
other
institutions
and
I'll?
Take
this
time
to
say,
other
institutions
in
town
need
to
be
joining
us
in
reparations,
because
a
city
can't
do
it
by
itself,
but
we
did
commit
to
housing,
Economic,
Development
and
educational
initiatives,
and
this
arpa
fund
would
be
one
way
for
us
to
make
a
first
step.
C
need
a
fund
that
we
can
take
steps
forward
for
economic
development
initiatives
and
if
there
is
any
questions
on
what
type
of
recommendations
came
through
that
Community
process
in
2019,
it
is
on
the
reparations
website.
AR
So
she
can
send
you
that
memo
from
two
specific
meetings
that
just
ask
three
questions
of
the
residents.
What
forms
of
reparations
do
we
want
to
see?
How
might
we
fund
it
and
who
should
be
eligible
for
those
reparations?
So
I
just
want
to
add
that
just
as
contacts
and
then
be
available,
if
there
are
any
other
questions,
but
Providence
Rhode
Island
is
one
of
the
cities
that
has
been
inspired
by
the
great
commitment
of
this
city,
council
and
the
City
of
Evanston,
and
they
did
move
forward
using
arpa
dollars
without
any
reservation.
E
Guess,
except
for
the
folks
who
are
still
up
here
yeah
so
with
that
I
mean
I,
I
I'm
happy
to
move
forward
with
arpa.
E
If
that's
that's
the
the
wish,
you
know,
I,
don't
know
if,
when
I
voted
on
this
at
committee,
that
I
had
the
understanding
that
this
wasn't
going
to
continue
to
be
race
based
and
specifically
for
African
Americans
I'm
fine,
if
it's
more
of
a
communal
thing,
I
think
as
long
as
the
committee
is
fine
with
that,
and
particularly
if
it's
only
going
to
be
split
between
the
Fifth
Ward
business
district
and
the
Howard
business
district,
I'm
even
more
fond
with
that,
because
I
think
you
know
our
end
of
town
now
has
the
largest
population
of
black
folks
in
Evanston
and
certainly
needs
you
know.
E
It's
fair
share
of
investment.
I
I
still
would
maintain
that
I
think
we
can
do
this
with
without
arpa
funds
and
still
have
be
able
to
do
the
exact
same
thing
and
have
maybe
even
more
flexibility
to
continue
to
Target
it
in
a
bit
more
I'm,
not
against
the
Harper
but
I
I
I
I
I,
wonder
if
there's
appetite
from
this
committee
to
use
Reserve
funds
and
give
more
flexibility
and
still
make
the
same
dollar
amount.
Investment
still
can
be
put
toward
economic
development
initiatives.
A
AH
N
L
AH
Already
have
an
economic
development
committee,
that's
using
arpa
money
and
Equity
is
you
know
one
of
the
criteria
applied
at
the
economic
development
committee
when
Distributing
our
per
dollars
inside
I'm,
coming
back
to
where
I
was
originally
looking
for
a
way
to
get
to
yes
to
funding
reparations
but
reluctant
to
commit
to
five
million
dollars
in
arpa
this
evening,
so
I'm
gonna
see
the
rest
of
my
time
or
reserve
the
rest
of
my
time.
I'll
say.
AK
Okay,
so
my
question
would
be
like:
would
it
be
preferable
if
we
could
find
another
fund
with
the
same
amount
of
money
that
would
give
the
reparations
committee
the
the
flexibility
to
only
give
money
to
Black
businesses
I'm
just
curious
about
that.
AR
Can
I
respond
foreign,
so
one
thing
that
I
I
should
have
said:
was
it's
really
hard
to
hear
that
five
million
is
so
much
and
in
in
in
in
the
in
the
big
scheme
of
things
we
just
saw
a
collective
of
black
staff
come.
We
are
here
on
reparations
because
of
historic
harms
that
we
have
acknowledged,
and
the
five
Millions
is
the
remnants
of
the
initial
arpa
dollars.
So
the
arpa
contribution
from
the
federal
government
was
how
much
40
million.
E
AR
L
AR
So
we're
talking
about
it
on
the
tail
end.
You
know
I
wish
that
as
a
committee,
we
would
have
been
more
proactive
and
here
earlier
in
budget
discussions
and
I'll,
take
that
responsibility
that
we
weren't
here
earlier.
But
it
is
difficult
to
hear
when
we
give
one
business,
you
know
making
up
one
family,
you
know
one
and
two
million
dollars
to
think
that
to
give
a
collective
benefit
to
the
black
community
for
anti-black
practices,
five
million
dollars
is
too
much.
AR
But
yes
to
your
point,
you
know
we're
trying
to
we're
trying
to
figure
it
out.
10
million
dollars
always
was
a
seed,
a
first
step
in
repair,
knowing
that
that
wasn't
a
settlement,
but
a
way
an
attainable
way
to
start
our
process,
our
very
complex
process
of
reparations,
but
these
arpa
funds
are
also
an
an
answer.
They
are
a
solution
and
one
that
would
allow
us
to
establish
some
foundation
in
Economic
Development,
with
the
direction
of
Nick
Cummings
and
more
likely
a
collective
benefit.
AR
So
I
I
still
support
and
hope
that
you
continue
the
conversation
on
arpa
dollars
as
we
look
for
additional
funds
and
I
hope
that
you
can
help
us
think
about
additional
funds,
there's
another
very
appropriate,
Revenue
stream
on
this
agenda,
that
is,
a
home
rule
tax
and
it
we
have
every
right
as
a
city
to
to
legislate
and
direct
those
funds
within
our
values,
because
it
is
a
home
rule
tax,
and
so
that
will
come
up
next.
AK
So
I
had
a
question.
I
think
for
Sarah.
Then.
Are
there?
Are
there
things
in
our
budget
right
now
that
could
be
funded
with
arpa,
so
we
could
have
a
a
similar
amount,
five
million,
but
not
with
any
restrictions
around
it
are
there
things
that
could
be
funded
by
arpa
that
are
currently
in
the
budget.
A
AD
Know,
technically,
you
could
take
5
million
and
make
it
into
replacement
Revenue
again,
because
we
do
have
a
higher
cap
in
really
in
replacement
Revenue
than
we
actually
have
expended
or
have
budgeted
in
there.
That
means,
basically,
we
can
use
the
funds
for
City
purposes
that
aren't
necessarily
arpa
eligible
or
don't
easily
meet
Arbor
requirements.
AD
One
of
the
ironic
things
when
you
think
about
it
is:
could
you
make
it
replacement
revenue
and
then
use
it
differently,
but
I
don't
want
to
go
there
somehow
I
think
we'd
get
in
trouble.
If
we
did
that
and.
A
Right
on
cue,
our
legal
counsel
turns
his
light
on.
AP
I
just
want
it
to
be
to
be
very
clear,
because
we've
had
this
debate
within
the
committee
that
Now's
the
Time,
if,
if
there
is
a
revenue,
Source
or
Revenue
stream,
that
you
feel
would
be
appropriate
to
allocate
to
reparations
now
is
the
time
as
we
are
setting
up
the
budget
and
that's
precisely
why
R2
was
set
up.
The
way
that
it
is
it
is
it
is.
The
council
would
be
voting
on
essentially
taking
a
line
item
of
Revenue
to
allocate
to
a
specific
fund
rather
than
doing
an
inner
fund
transfer.
AP
So
if,
if
that
shell
game
for
like
a
better
way
to
describe,
it,
is
something
that
this
Council
wants
to
do
now
as
part
of
the
budget
discussion.
Now
is
the
time
to
to
do
it.
AN
F
So
I
think
Arthur,
woman,
Rue
Simmons,
said
clearly
we're
we're
facing
some
serious
implications
on
race
in
the
city
and,
as
I
stated
before,
five
million
dollars
doesn't
even
put
a
Band-Aid
on
it,
and
we
are
we've
looked
at
a
couple
instances
this
evening
in
making
people
whole
and
doing
the
right
thing
with
our
pensions
with
for
police
and
for
fire.
So
I
want
us
to
be
careful
when
we
think
this
is
too
much
money
to
make
some
things
right
and
to
look
at
how
that
money
makes
Evanston
a
better
place.
F
How
that
money
recirculates
through
Evanston
how
it
makes
Evanston
people
whole
when
we
saw
when
at
least
five
occasions,
a
group
of
people
who
have
worked
hard
and
have
shown
us
the
issues
that
they
have
faced.
So
we
know
firsthand
we're,
not
hearing
we're
not
watching
it
on
TV.
We
know
and
we're
part
of
that.
So
there
are
implications.
Thank
you.
AN
I
think,
while
it's
fair
to
say
that
that
a
lot
of
people
supported
kind
of
collective
impact,
work
in
reparations,
I
think
it's
also
fair
to
say
that
a
lot
of
people
also
supported
direct
impact,
which
we
see
in
our
restorative
housing
program
and
what
is,
and
even
in
what
has
been
called
for
a
direct
cash
benefits.
I
think
I'm,
fine
continuing
to
discuss
our
upper
allocation.
AN
We
can
decide
how
much
I
am
most
certainly
going
to
make
an
amendment
that
we
use
Reserve
funds,
probably
up
to
2
million,
to
support
our
seniors,
who
are
on
the
you
know
who
have
numbers
now
for
the
restorative
housing
program
we've
already
approved
to
that
committee.
We
know
where
the
money
is
going
towards.
AN
We
already,
you
know,
have
a
organizational
partner,
that's
funding
it
I
will
feel
very
uncomfortable
in
whatever
we
do
here,
not
making
a
dent
in
supporting
people
who
are
already
on
the
list,
especially
our
seniors,
which
is
about
122
people.
I
was
sold,
there's
about
3
million.
AN
If
we
can
find
Reserve
about
2
million
in
our
Reserve
fund
that,
in
addition
to
the
million
dollars
that
I
think
we'll
be
talking
about
on
the
next
item-
I
think
in
the
next
two
years
or
whatever
it
would
take
to
get
in
that
real
estate
money,
we
we
could
completely.
We
could.
We
could
finish
supporting
our
seniors,
who
are
again,
who
have
a
number
and
who
are
waiting
to
to
to
to
be
supported
by
this,
so
that
again
I'm
more
than
happy
to
continue
to
talk
about
Arbor
funds.
AN
But
I
am
going
to
make
an
amendment
to
do
that.
If
we're
going
to
make
a
referral.
I'm
sorry,
there's
a
referral
on
it
already
well,
I
mean
we're
it's
a
budget
discussion,
so
we'll
have
to
wait
for
the
referral,
but
I
I
most
certainly
are
going
to
make
I'm
going
to
make
that
amendment
I.
Think
it's
important.
We
make.
We
take
care
of
everybody
in
the
restorative
housing
program
and
then
you
know
I
want
to
see
where
the
conversation
goes
in
terms
of
Economic
Development.
AI
We've
heard
a
whole
lot
of
different
ideas
of
projects.
I
guess
what
I'm?
What
I
would
like
to
see
is
a
an
arpa
accounting.
Where
are
we?
What
have
we
already
allocated
and
what
are
the
other
projects,
ideas
that
are
coming
to
us
some
some
tonight
and
some
in
the
wings
so
that
we,
you
know,
can
make
a
fully
informed
decision
about
about
using
the
arpa
funds.
AI
AI
Hand
it
over
to
to
our
ancestors
and
for
them
to
use
it.
So
it's
not
it's
not
like
they
all
can
spend
it
all
in
one
year.
So
I
think
we
could
kind
of
lay
out
a
a
plan,
a
multi-year
plan
and
so
ultimately
I
don't
want
to
cut
anybody
off
from
discussing,
but
I
think
we
need
to
table
this.
AI
A
So
I
would
propose
that
we
handle
this
similarly
to
how
we
handled
councilmember
Kelly's
request
earlier
that
I
recognize
that
you
want
to
make
that
motion.
But
you
also
indicated
I
think
appropriately
that
we
should
let
the
discussion
play
out.
So
we
can
go
back
to
you
to
make
that
motion
when
everyone
else
is
has
had
their
their
opportunity,
speaking
of
which,
at
this
time
no
one
is
asking
to
speak
for
a
second
time.
So
we
go
back
for
a
thirds
beginning
with
councilmember
nusma,
with
two
minutes
and
50
seconds
left.
AH
Council
member
Rebel
said
what
I
was
going
to
say:
I
I'm,
looking
for
a
way
to
get
to.
Yes,
I,
don't
think
it's
going
to
happen
tonight,
so
I
would
I
would
second
a
motion
to
table
this.
If
that
motion
were
to
be
made.
A
A
So
you
pick
a
date,
that's
at
the
right
spot,
so
it's
a
as
soon
as
possible,
but
be
far
enough
in
the
future
that
we
have
time
to
get
the
information
we
need
and
and
sift
through
all
the
ideas
that
were
there's
a
bunch
of
ideas.
Add
this
diet
tonight,
which
is
great,
but
they
need
to
playing
to
that
councilmember,
nope,
Mr,
Cummings,
I,.
AP
Just
wanted
to
remind
the
council
that
holding
this
would
not
require
a
vote,
but
it
would
put
it
on
the
next
Council
regular
city
council
meeting
tabling
is,
you
would
actually
have
to
pick
a
date
and
it
would
require
a
vote.
A
Next
is
council
member
Harris
with
two
minutes
and
35
seconds
left.
F
I
just
want
us
to
be
careful,
we
didn't
do
that
for
any
other
Arbor
requests
say:
let's
see.
What's
out
there,
we
made
decisions,
we
did
not
think
about.
What's
in
the
pipeline,
we
made
decisions.
We
voted
on
things.
I
feel
some
kind
of
way
about
that
that
I
get
it
that
it's
a
large
amount,
I
get
that
and
it's
scary,
but
we
did
not
do
that
for
any
other
art
but
like
well,
let's
see
what's
out
there,
let
me
see
a
spreadsheet
before
we
make.
L
F
E
So
I
I
I
am
all
right.
I
just
want
to
Second
the
one
I
don't
know
if
we
can
have
reparations
meeting
that
you
know
call
a
special
meeting
in
the
interim
to
discuss
this
at
reparations.
If
that's
a
possibility
I,
you
know
I
agree
with
councilmember,
Harris,
I
I.
Think
that
you
know
we
need
to
make
this
investment.
This
you
know
reminds
me
of
the
carp
vote
earlier.
It's
like
some
of
this
is
gonna,
be
painful.
E
We're
gonna
have
to
or
or
hard
we're
gonna
have
to
give
something
up
in
order
to
actually
live
up
to
our
values
and
I'm.
Hoping
this
body
can
do
that
again:
I'm
supportive
of
five
million
arpa
I'm
supportive
of
five
million
in
general
fund
Reserve
I,
think
we
need
to
make
the
five
million
dollar
investment
I
think
we
need
to
get
it.
However,
we
can.
We
can
split
it
to
to
you,
know:
half
arpa
half
general
fund
Reserve.
E
However,
we
get
there
I'm
happy
to
get
there
and
I
I
think
it's
beyond
time
to
make
this
investment,
and
so,
if
we
need
to
hold
it
special
reparations
meeting
to
get
some
more
information,
maybe
I,
maybe
we
don't
need
to
do
that.
Maybe
we
understand
that
you
know
that
this
is
a
necessary
investment.
A
Councilmember
burns
with
just
a
half
a
minute
left
I.
N
AN
So
that's
what
I
would
support
that
totals
5
billion
I
am
like
I,
said
very
concerned
that
we
do
not
have
what
it
takes
to
take
care
of
the
122
ancestors
again,
we
already
know
what
the
program
is:
they're,
literally
just
waiting
for
funding,
and
so,
which
is
why
I
would
want
to
split
it
up.
So
that's
that's.
What
I'm
going
to
be
advocating
for
and
and
I'll
make
an
amendment
whenever
we're
ready,
yeah.
AI
Well,
first
I'd
just
like
to
respond
to
a
council
member
Harris
in
previous
arpa
requests
that
have
come
to
council
have
have
come
with
a
detailed
budget.
You
know
description
of
the.
You
know
exactly
what
how
the
money
is
going
to
be
used.
So
you
know
this
is
this
is
coming
to
us
without
all
that,
so
that's
so
and
then
and
then
it
is
also
just
sort
of
saying.
Oh
my
gosh,
you
know
it's
our.
AI
Money
arpa
money
which
you
know
had
to
happen
at
some
point
and
and
then
and
then
I
just
I
if
there
are,
if
there
are
ideas
that
are
in
development,
that
are
really
ready
to
come
to
us.
As
you
know,
right
now,
as
well,
I
I'd
like
to
know
what
those
are
so
I,
I
guess
with
the
reparations
committee
like
to
have
a
meeting
before
we
talk
about
this
again.
AI
L
E
Me
if
I,
if
I,
can
jump
in
really
quick
to
answer
part
of
that
I
I.
Think.
What
the
ask
here
is
is
that
we
turn
the
five
million
dollars
over
some
dollar
amount
over
to
reparations
and
Trust
the
reparations
committee,
the
black
community,
to
decide
for
itself
how
we
want
to
use
the
five
million
dollars
and
without
this
body
having
to
weigh
in
on
each
individual
proposal
and
just
let
the
reparations
committee
figure
it
out
and
you
know,
give
us
give
the
reparations
committee
5
million.
E
E
AD
Everything
has
to
be
literally
to
a
written
agreement
that
is
executable
by
December,
31st
2024
and
all
funds
have
to
be
expended
by
December,
31st
2026..
So
there's
some
time,
but
you
know.
A
Let
me
just
weigh
in
here
I
think
what
we
need,
if
that's
the
direction
the
council
wants
to
go,
is
discipline
not
to
spend
the
money
on
something
else,
while
those
conversations
are
ongoing
and
I
would
just
really
I
would
just
really
urge
that
I
think
I'll
just
indicate
I've
heard
a
lot
of
really
great
ideas
up
here
and
I.
Think
if
someone
feels
uncomfortable
voting
now,
based
on
how
many
things
need
to
be
weighed,
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
me.
A
AI
So
I
don't
quite
know
what
the
date
I
councilmember
news
now
do
you
have
an
idea
of
a
date.
AH
Today
is
November:
well,
it's
actually
the
15th.
Now
everybody
happy
Tuesday,
so
it
would
be
November,
28th
or
December
12th.
AH
A
I
mean
I,
think
I.
Think
there's
a
and
again
I
want
to
reiterate.
I
heard
a
ton
of
really
really
legitimate
ideas,
that
kind
of
don't
that
are
incompatible
with
each
other
right.
So
we
can't
do
all
of
them
because
they
involve
different
directions,
and
so,
if
folks,
if
folks
need
time
to
to
get
this
right,
I
think
that's
that's
fine
again.
A
As
long
as
we
don't
I'm,
not
interested
in
I
would
be
very
wary
of
delaying
for
the
sake
of
delaying
I
would
be
very
supportive
of
delaying
for
the
sake
of
getting
this
right
yeah,
but
a
late
breaking
news,
which
is
a
council
member
Winn,
is
requesting
to
speak
for
the
first
time.
So,
let's
go
to
sorry.
Councilmemberville
sells
the
floor.
Do
you
want
to
see
the
Florida.
A
AJ
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I'll,
be
brief.
I
I
have
been
as
as
everyone
else
has
during
this
discussion,
scratching
my
head
on
how
to
as
Jonathan
says,
get
to
Yes
I
I
need
more
time
and
more
information,
but
I
certainly
don't
intend
to
spend
this
five
million
dollars
on
anything
else.
AJ
I
want
to
understand
better
what
the
reparations
committee
had
in
mind
for
this
I
also
feel
very
strongly
about
council
member
Burns
point
that
we
have
seniors
who
are
waiting,
who
have
been
selected
and,
and
we
have
a
program
for
them,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
we
get
that
funded
sooner
or
later
rather
than
later.
So
I
would
also
support
the
motion
to
table
because
I
need
more
time
and
I
think
from
the
sound
of
it.
Others
on
the
on
the
dice
need
more
time
as
well.
AH
E
You
know
and
what
information
are
folks
looking
for
between
now
and
whatever
date.
We
put
this
on,
that
you
don't
have
now,
because
I
think
with
the
reparations
committee
again.
I'll
reiterate
this
with
the
reparations
committee
is
seeking,
is
for
this
commute
this
Council
to
trust
the
black
community,
to
trust
the
reparations
committee
to
come
up
with
their
own
process,
and
there
have
been
years
of
work
that
have
been
put
into
this,
laying
this
foundation
and
and
we're
just
asking
to
to
trust
and
make
an
investment
in
the
black
community.
A
So
we're
going
to
go
to
council
member
Burns
then
quickly.
Go
back
to
council
reveal
to
make
the
motion
council
member
Burns.
I
AN
Know
very
little
additional
information,
which
is
why
again
I
still
say
that
I
think
there's
some
benefit
to
to
reducing
the
r
pass
to
2
million,
because
there
are
still
some
things
that
we
could
do
with
our
bow
that
we
need
to
do
especially
around
economic
development
for
the
city
in
other
areas.
We
use
that
2
million
to
to
put
a
big
dent
in
what
we
what
we
already
know.
Oh,
we
talked
a
lot
about
obligations
today
with
our
police
and
fire.
We
are
obligated
to
122
people
plus
descendants.
AN
AN
It
is
consistent
with
the
way
that
the
the
the
ability
to
craft
different
programs
that
we've
we've
done
that
consistently
throughout
reparations
that
we
set
aside
a
portion
of
funds
in
the
same
way
that
we
did
for
cannabis
revenue,
and
we
allow
the
reparations
committee
that
is
comprised
of
of
descendants,
of
some
descendants
of
our
ancestors
and
people
who
are
eligible
to
receive
reparations,
as
well
as
three
council
members
up
here
to
determine
how
to
use
those
funds
and
so
I
think
to
remain
consistent
with
how
we
treated
this.
AN
AK
So
you
know,
sitting
up
here
is
really
interesting
when
we
I
got
the
packet
and
I
had
a
lot
of
questions,
and
you
know
like
oh,
where
would
you
get
the
money
from
and
really,
as
I
said
up
here,
I'm
ready
to
vote
to
give
the
money
to
the
to
the
reparations
committee
tonight,
because
y'all
know
what
your
community
needs
and
so
I'm
ready
to
vote
forward.
So.
AI
Well,
but
I'm
hearing
council
member
Burns
now
talking
two
million
of
our
funds
for
the
economic
development,
so
I
I,
guess
I
I
would
I
I!
Guess
I
moved
to
table
this
to
our
December.
Our
first
meeting
in
December
December
12th.
AI
AH
L
A
E
A
A
AH
AP
Talking
about
the
tax
collected
over
for
tax
collected
on
properties
that
sell
for
over
1.5
million,
so
our
the
way
our
city
code
is
written,
there's
a
real
estate
transfer
tax
and
there's
also
a
tax
for
properties
over
1.5,
but
less
than
five,
and
then
another
tax
levy
for
anything
over
five.
So
what
this
is
asking
for
is
anything
over
1.5
that
particular
text.
That
portion
of
the
tax
collected
goes
to
the
reparations
fund,
yeah.
AO
AO
A
Waiting
for
Mr
Desai
to
approach
the
podium
he's
in
discussion
right
now
about
that
question.
AL
I
want
to
clarify
that
the
numbers
I
provided
to
the
reparations
committee.
They
were
for
the
total
tax
in
that
category
so
like
when
I
said
for
one
year
in
2021,
or
even
this
year
as
of
September,
we
have
received
441
000
in
the
category
of
1.5
million
to
5
million.
That's
entire
text,
not
just
the
incremental
text,
so
you
have
reparations,
won't
necessarily
get
that
441
000.
AP
The
way
the
code
States
is
that
it's
the
seven
dollars
for
every
one
thousand
dollars
of
value
or
fraction
thereof,
as
stated
in
the
Declaration
per
transaction
right
and
then
for
the
nine
dollars
for
per
one
thousand
value
or
fraction
error
per
transaction
over
anything
over
five
million.
So
that's
the
way
the
code
is
written
is
the
way
the
resolution
is
written.
So.
AL
AL
Mean
and
that's
a
good
point
going
back
to
the
I
think
by
a
little
SP
one
discussion
where
I
think
council
member
Kelly
said:
let's
increase
our
budget
by
300
000
or
something
in
transport
checks.
Obviously,
we
kind
of
and
I
I'm
sorry
I
missed
out
this
whole
thing
because
it
wasn't
approved
by
the
council
yet
but
yeah.
We
would
lose
this
potentially
a
million
dollar
Revenue.
If
we
get
million
dollars
there
or
whatever
we
get
this
year.
Obviously
we
have
over
a
million
dollars
there
in
21
we
got
over
a
million
dollars.
AO
AO
AP
A
I
mean
I
mean
council.
Member
Kelly's
amendment
is
definitely
a
solution
to
this
problem.
The
challenge
is
that
councilmember
Kelly
wants
to
claim
that
revenue
for
something
else.
So
then,
so
then
it
becomes
a
fight
between
pensions
and
reparations
for
that
same
million
dollars,
which
is
a
I,
don't
think
a
place.
Any
of
us
want
to
be.
AP
AO
AO
Just
when
we
talk
about
things
being
under
budgeted
or
over
budgeted,
I
mean
we're.
Those
are
also
just
educated,
speculative
best
guesses
right
we're
not
talking
about
hard
Revenue
that
we
know
is
coming
in
right,
so
I
mean
this
is
this
is
all
speculative
anyway
I
mean
I.
I
have
a
concern
that
we're
creating
a
million
dollar
hole
without
even
like
a
credible
way
to
think
that
we
might
fill
it,
but
I'll
leave
it
there
and
listen
to
what
everyone
else
has
to
say.
E
I
appreciate
the
concern
about
the
budget
and
and
what
the
impacts
here
are,
but
I
I
want
to
note
that
we
have
a
and
will
maintain
a
healthy
Reserve,
even
with
this
I
think
we
can
dip
into
our
Surplus
I'll,
even
say
not
just
Reserve,
but
our
Surplus
money
and
ensure
that
we
get
it's
a
million
dollars.
We
certainly
have.
We
have
14
million
dollars
projected
in
Surplus
for
next
year.
E
I
mean
it's
starting
to
winnow
down,
certainly,
but
that's
where
we
are
I,
think
we
can
move
forward
on
this
tonight
and
and
figure
it
out
and
know
that
you
know
we.
We
we
have
the
money
to
to
make
this
investment,
particularly
if
we
see
this
as
something
important,
we
we
made
a
commitment
to
reparations.
Again,
it's
going
to
sting
to
do
this.
E
If
it
was
easy
I,
don't
we
wouldn't
have
gotten
the
recognition
recognition
that
we
got
and
I
think
we
need
to
live
up
to
that
we
need
to
actually
make
the
investment
and
take
the
ding.
It's
it's
a
million
dollars.
Again
we
have
the
money
in
reserves.
We
should.
We
should
use
that
money
to
repair
the
black
community.
A
AN
Two
million
out
of
Reserve
I
know,
but
adding
the
2
million
out
of
Reserve,
with
the
one
million
here
makes
our
seniors
whole
that
have
already
been
approved
for
the
program.
It's
three
million
dollars,
122
people
ish
as
far
as
the
three
million,
but
that
makes
them
whole
and
then
we
can
work
on
our
satisfying
obligations
to
The
Descendants,
who
already
qualified
for
the
program
and
and
they
were
approved
so
I
I
support
this.
For
that
reason
and
I
think
we
have
to
I've
said
earlier.
A
AR
AR
It
allows
us
to
continue
in
the
narrow
tailoring
of
Remedy
in
correlation
to
the
harm
that
has
been
proven
successful
in
the
model
that
has
given
us
the
attention
of
not
only
this
nation
but
now
International
attention,
the
city
and
the
council.
We
can't
continue
to
take
in
all
of
the
praise
for
our
boldness
and
our
steps
forward
and
not
be
uncomfortable.
Do
the
work
to
this
point.
AR
It
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
Corporation
Council
comings
if
you
want
to
give
more
feedback
on
your
memo
on
why
this
tax
makes
sense,
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
right
now,
because
the
council
really
respects
your
office
and
your
opinion,
and
you
took
a
lot
of
time
to
come
up
with
a
way
that
you
can
support
the
city
legally
in
this
process.
AR
But
to
the
point
that
council
member
Burns
continues
to
make,
we
have
122
ancestors
that
are
on
a
list
waiting
for
the
number
to
be
called,
and
this
would
be
a
way
that
we
can
continue
dispersing
beyond
the
16
that
we
have
dispersed.
This
would
I
believe-
and
please
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
go
into
the
current
program
and
be
eligible
for
the
restorative
housing
program
and
also
begin
to
seed
The
Descendants
as
well.
AI
Well,
I
do
think,
given
that
we've,
our
dispensary
Source,
has
not
proven
as
lucrative
as
we
had
anticipated.
I
I
do
think
this
is
the
only
way
we
can
make
any
Headway
with
with
the
repair
that
we've
promised
to
certainly
to
the
ancestors
and
and
then
beyond
that
so
I'm
supportive.
AM
A
Councilmember
Kelly
seconds
Council
memory
I
moved
to
overturn
the
hold
councilman
Reed
moves
to
overturn
the
hold.
Is
there
a
second
that
comes
when
it
reads
motion?
Let's.
A
It
is
councilmember
Harris
seconds,
hey,
Mr
Cummings.
Is
this
a
debatable
motion
to
overturn
the
hold
motion.
A
AO
This
should
be
holding
it
for
a
week
to
like.
Have
this
be
a
part
of
a
cohesive
budget
plan?
It's
not
like
indefinite
stalling
tactic.
I.
Just
think
that
we
need
to
figure
out
the
budget
in
total
and
a
million
dollars
is
not
an
inconsequential
amount
of
money
to
figure
out,
but
to
how
to
fill
that
Gap.
It's
a
fillable
Gap
then
this
is
this
would
be
holding
it.
You
know
as
part
of
the
ongoing
budget
process,
but
everyone
do
what
you
do.
What
you
think
is
best.
AH
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
ultimately,
I
I
am
supportive
of
moving
in
this
direction,
as
council
member
Revell
said,
and
if
it
were
three
hours
earlier
or
if
I
were
15
years,
younger
I
might
be
able
to
process
this
this
evening,
but
taking
a
a
week
to
sort
it
out
and
figure
out
how
it
fits
in
the
budget.
I
think
it's
worth
the
time,
but
ultimately
I'm
going
to
approve
this.
E
It
yeah
it
would
be
more
than
a
week
but
again
I
I,
appreciate
what
council
member
suffered
and
said.
He
said
it's
a
fillable
hole,
and
so
we
can
vote
on
this
tonight.
We
can
stand
on
our
values
and
say
that
we
are
going
to
commit
this
money
to
reparations
to
the
black
community,
and
then
we
can
fill
that
hole.
There's
nothing
stopping
us
from
figuring
out
how
to
fill
the
hole
if
there
is
a
hole
down
the
road,
but
we
can
make
our
commitment
tonight.
I'll
preserve
my
time.
A
AN
You
threw
me
for
a
curveball

I'm
