Description
City Council Meeting 01/13/2014
A
We
have
a
quorum
welcome
to
the
monday
january
13
2014,
meeting
of
the
evanston
city
council
and
happy
new
year.
Everyone
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
mayor's
public
announcements
and
I
have
one
particularly
for
the
whole
council.
This
council
is
a
very
good
council.
I've
said
that
everywhere,
I
think
we're
excellent.
However,
we
have
been
beaten
badly
by
the
cub
scouts.
A
The
cub
scouts
came
as
they
do
once
a
year
to
visit
me-
and
I
put
them
in
here,
and
I
have
them
be-
the
mayor
and
aldermen
and
city
clerk,
etc,
and
then
the
there
are
cub
scouts
making
public
comments
and
they
raise
the
issues
that
the
council
then
has
to
debate.
So
one
cub
scout
said:
what
are
you
going
to
do
about
crime
and
this
council,
the
better
than
we
are
council
banned
guns
in
less
than
a
minute,
not
only
in
the
city
of
evanston,
but
throughout
the
united
states
of
america.
C
Members
of
the
council
good
evening
and
happy
new
year,
several
items
we'll
we'll
take.
First,
our
martin
luther
king
day
events.
We
have
a
a
wonderful
opportunity.
This
coming
saturday
tim
rose
is
the
director
of
the
fleetwood
jourdain.
Theater
is
here
to
talk
about
our
event
saturday
afternoon,
fleetwood
jourdain.
D
D
It's
been
a
tradition
at
the
fleetwood
jordan
community
center
to
celebrate
the
the
amazing
person
who's
of
dr
martin
luther
king
jr,
and
this
year
will
be
no
different.
This
saturday,
which
is
the
18th
at
noon.
We
will
be
gathering
with
hundreds
of
people
as
if
this
has
been
a
testament
for
those
who
have
attended
before
where
we
will
have
guest
artists,
such
as
evans,
children's
choir,
the
jonte
of
drums
and
percussion,
which
is
the
west
african
drum
group.
We
have
the
christ
temple,
praise
dancers.
D
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
very
much,
I'm
city
manager
for
inviting
me
to
come
and
to
speak
and
once
again
as
the
artistic
director
of
your
theater,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
continued
support.
It's
very
important
to
our
community
that
fleetwood
joining
theater
exists.
Coming
on
our
35th
anniversary
of
this
show
a
little.
D
D
Those
are
anomalies
when
it
comes
to
theater
organizations
and
fleetwood
has
been
able
to
hang
on
it's
only
because
of
the
support
of
this
community
and
people
like
miss
holmes,
who
have
been
there
and
diligently
making
sure
that
fleetwood
stays
where
we
are,
which
is
a
part
of
this
community.
So,
on
our
35th
anniversary,
we
had
three
wonderful
plays,
having
our
say
the
delaney
sisters.
D
First
hundred
years,
you
may
have
heard
of
that
play
g's
been
about
geez
ben
alabama
and
the
quilts
that
were
made
down
there
and
those
women
who
went
on
to
strive
in
the
civil
rights
movement
and
a
play
that
I
am
personally
pinning
called.
Why
not
me
a
sammy
davis,
junior
story
and,
of
course,
we're
going
to
end
with
our
concerts?
D
Our
jazz
meets
blues
concert
as
well
as
our
gospel
concert
this
year,
we're
featuring
the
men
of
gospel
music
conducted
once
again
by
the
reverend
king
of
cherry,
so,
along
with
so
many
other
events
that
are
going
on
our
collaborations
with
second
baptist
and
beth
emmett
this
year
with
their
sancofa
group,
we
are
putting
on
a
play
about
their
civil
rights
journey
that
they
did
last
spring
as
well.
More
and
more
things
are
just
coming
on
the
plate
for
fleetwood,
jordan,
theater,
and
we
just
want
to
continue
to
say.
D
Thank
you
tell
everyone
in
your
neighborhood,
as
we
are
a
new
saying,
is
tell
a
friend
tell
a
neighbor
that
you
support,
fleetwood,
jordan,
theater
and
if
you
are
not
on
our
newsletter,
I'll
make
sure
that
each
and
every
one
of
you
are
a
part
of
our
newsletter.
Thank
you
well
is
that
I
thank
you
so
much.
D
E
C
Next
man
and
members
of
the
council
we've
had
some
very
busy
times
since
we
were
all
last
here
and
would
like
to
bring
you
up
to
speed
on
a
couple
of
them.
First
is
a
sad
occasion,
and
that
is
a
horrible
fire
that
occurred
at
the
corner
of
davis
and
oak
back
at
the
end
of
december.
Our
fire
chief
greg
cliver
is
here.
I've
asked
him
to
kind
of
walk
through
what
occurred
and
give
you
an
update
of
the
fine
work
that
the
evidence
fire
department
did
in
a
very
unfortunate
circumstance.
Chief
kleber.
F
The
initial
companies
reported
smoke
from
the
roof
and
if
you
look
at
this
overhead
shot,
you
can
see.
This
is
what
the
building
and
properties
look
like
prior
to
december
29th.
So
we
have
pine
yard
right
here
we
have
technicolor
and
then
taco
diablo.
This
is
this
is
wheel
and
sprocket,
so
the
first
companies
arrived,
they
saw
flames
coming
from
these
commercial
cooking
vent
hoods,
so
they
they
went
to
the
roof
and
they
saw
a
flame
coming
around
and
in
in
and
around
this
area
right
here.
F
The
initial
truck
company
that
went
to
the
roof
cut
a
hole,
cut,
an
inspection
hole
into
the
roof
area
and
found
flame
and
fire
heavy
involvement
in
what
they
discovered
was
a
wood
truss
space.
So
wood
truss
construction
is
our
most
dangerous
type
of
fire
and
if
you
notice
this
building
you'll
see,
this
is
actually
double
truss,
so
right
down
the
center
here
is
the
center
of
this
building.
We
have
one
truss
here
and
one
truss
on
the
other
side.
This
is
not
separated
by
a
firewall.
F
This
is
right
here
and
that,
in
conjunction
with
the
outstanding
work
of
our
firefighters
saved
this
bike
shop,
as
well
as
I
I'm
not
exaggerating
here-
many
properties
along
davis,
street
east
of
east
of
pine
yard
and
and
the
rest
of
the
establishments
here.
So
once
you
see
that
once
you
see
fire
in
the
wood
truss
space,
we
have
sogs
that
dictate
how
we're
going
to
fight
that
fire.
F
Attempting
an
interior
offensive
attack
is
ordered
out,
and
that
is
not
a
call
that
any
of
our
firefighters
like
to
hear
because
they
like
to
get
in
there
and
put
the
fire
out,
and
when
that
happens,
you
know
we
have.
We
want
to
protect
property,
but
we
also
want
to
protect
our
firefighters
and
then
we
have
to
go
into
what's
called
a
defensive
operation
and
that's
what
we
did
and
that's
what
we
did
for
five
hours
and
we
did
the
best
we
could
to
protect
everything
east
of
here
behind.
So
that's
north.
F
F
I
was
there
and
we
had
five
outside
communities
as
part
of
a
second
level
mavis
box
alarm
we
had
martin
grove,
winnetka
and
niall
horton
grovernetko
will
met
skokie
and
northfield
and
as
well
as
other,
outside
communities
coming
in
for
station
coverage
for
our
fire
stations
for
other
calls
that
might
come
in
while
we're
here
for
five
hours.
Things
don't
just
stop,
because
we
have
one
incident
so
very
grateful
for
the
type
of
system
that
we
have
in
place
in
illinois.
F
F
F
F
So
you'll
see
that's
one
of
our
aerial
trucks,
ladder
trucks,
you
can
see
two
there
and
there
should
be
a
third.
So
we
have
both
of
our
aerial
ladder.
Trucks
flowing
over
1,
000,
1,
000,
gallons,
a
minute
of
water
right
now
and
skokie
also
had
their
ladder
truck
there
there
and
they
were
following
the
same
amount
of
water,
so
3,
000
gallons
a
minute
from
our
aerial
pipes.
F
And
then
we
also
set
up
on
the
roof
of
a
wheel
and
sprocket
a
monitor
with
the
two
and
a
half
inch
hose
line
attached
to
it,
as
well
as
on
the
street
right
at
the
corner
of
oak
and
davis,
and
those
are
flowing
about
500
gallons
a
minute
each.
So
when
you
calculate
that
out
in
five
hours
time,
it
was
over
a
million
gallons
of
water.
F
So
once
we
go
defensive,
our
tactics,
change
from
immediate
property
and
we're
trying
to
minimize
the
damage
as
best
we
can,
but
then
protecting
exposures
and
the
exposures
we
had,
as
I
described
every
property
east
and
what
we
discovered
was
there
was
smoke.
Some
light
smoke
was
entering
into
the
animal
hospital
and
we
made
some
phone
calls
and
were
able
to
get
the
personnel
from
bremer
animal
hospital
to
the
scene
to
unlock
it.
So
we
didn't
have
to
force
entry
and
took
every
I
think,
13
pets
to
evacuate
into
a
skokie
facility
that
evening.
F
I
think
you
can
stop
the
video
now
cindy
thanks,
so
that's
kind
of
gives
you
an
idea
of
a
four
or
five
minute,
snippet
of
a
five
hour
operation,
and
I
just
wanna.
I
want
to
compliment
the
work
of
our
firefighters
and
praise
their
work,
because
when
I'm
sitting
in
the
command
van
and
and
you
see
decisions
being
made
in
the
cooperation
and
coordination
and
the
professionalism
of
our
firefighters,
this
was
a
complex
operation.
F
This
this
count
this
relied
on,
knowing
how
to
pump
number
one
relay
operations
from
a
fire
hydrant
to
a
fire
engine
to
an
aerial
ladder
truck.
These
are
all
complex.
You
have
to
know
how
to
do
that,
and
and
the
professional
and
professionalism
of
our
firefighters,
I
think,
and
decisions
made
by
our
operations
chief
on
that
day,
who
went
a
long
way
to
save
and
protect
the
exposures,
not
only
east,
but
also
across
the
alley,
to
what's
a
new
construction
over
there
now.
F
I
also
want
to
thank,
because
we
were
out
there
so
long
other
city
staff
and
the
city
manager's
office,
with
with
martha
logan
erica
storley
luke,
was
assisting
us
in
actually
tweeting
messages
to
the
community
as
the
fire
was
happening.
So
that
was,
I
got
home
and
I
looked
at
my
facebook
like
how
did
this
get
on
here
so
fast?
F
G
Fisk,
thank
you.
Madame
chief,
I'm
I'm
just
almost
in
tears
here.
It
was
very
clear
to
me
being
out
there
on
the
street
and
talking
with
you
just
the
level
of
coordination
that
was
required
and
what
a
wonderful
job
everyone
did,
and
I
think
it's
so
helpful
for
the
community
to
understand
that
it's
it's
more
than
the
firefighters
on
the
scene.
It's
it's
everybody
working
together,
because
we
don't
we
don't
normally.
G
F
Blowing
fire,
it
could
have
gone
all
the
way
to
maple,
right
and
and
fortunate
for
us.
We
did
not
have
very
little
wind
and
not
the
weather.
The
temperatures
that
we
had
about
a
week
later
or
four
four
days
later
and
that
would
have
been
a
real
problem
and
part
of
the
video
that
wasn't
shown
is
you'll.
G
F
G
F
Are
called
knox
boxes,
so
each
of
our
fire
apparatus
has
keys
to
unlock
those
knocks
boxes
and
inside
those
knocks
boxes.
If
you
have
a
fire
suppression
system
inside
your
your
business
you're
by
code
supposed
to
have
an
ox
box
and
when
you
have
an
alarm
and
we
can't
gain
access,
that's
how
we
gain
access.
So
we
don't
have
to
take
a
an
axe
or
a
halogen
bar
and
break
the
door
or
the
windows,
and
so
that
that
really
helps
us
gain
access
without
doing
any
damage
at
all.
G
G
F
Well,
not
final,
yet
we're
working
on
it.
We
have
the
insurance
adjusters
for
the
property
owners
and
and
the
property
renters
have
pulled
some
equipment
out
and
they're,
examining
it
forensically
in
a
sterile
or
a
controlled
environment,
and
that's
in,
I
believe
somewhere
in
skokie.
So
we
have
a
pretty
good
idea.
G
Fisk
yeah
just
really
briefly
a
little
a
little
history
davis
street
in
that
block,
used
to
be
the
auto
dealership
row
in
the
1917
1920
and
that's
why
there's
all
the
the
trust
construction
there
so
that
there
was
no
supports
in
the
middle
of
the
building.
They
could
move
cars
in
and
out
and
and
do
all
that
and
then
that
moved
the
auto
dealerships
moved
up
on
ridge.
G
G
I
Yes,
thank
you
very
much
for
having
me
this
evening,
I'll
be
short
right
after
we
all
got
news
about
the
fire.
I
started
getting
texts
and
messages,
and
one
I
got
was
from
neely
yellen
who
works
for
john
taciapolis
at
27
live.
What
can
we
do
and
we
thought
really
in
talking
and
then
and
talking
to
dan
couch
from
taco
diablo
the
issue
and
concern
for
most
of
the
three
businesses.
I
Were
these
workers,
who
you
know
in
the
week
between
christmas
and
new
year's
lost
their
jobs
basically
immediately,
and
it's
more
so
than
the
people
that
were
even
working
at
the
time.
As
many
of
you
know,
dan
couch
is
also
closing
lulu's
this
month
and
some
of
the
workers
at
lulu's
were
scheduled
and
planned
to
be
going
over
to
work
at
taco
diablo.
Obviously,
that
wasn't
going
to
be
happening
either
anymore.
So
the
concern
was
really
what
happens
for
to
these
workers.
I
It's
this
saturday
january
18th,
there's
three
bands:
doors
open
at
8pm,
there's
a
website,
davidstreetfirefun.com,
there's
flyers
that
you're
at
your
place
and
for
anybody
else
sitting
here,
there's
flyers
now,
when
you
walk
out-
and
it's
really
because
of
27
live
coming
forward
and
wanting
to
help
a
fellow
business,
we're
promoting
it
throughout
the
businesses.
Downtown
dan
couch
is
providing
food
from
taco,
diablo
and
lulu,
so
you
can
get
your
last
taste
of
lulu's
before
it
closes
and
also
taco
diablo,
which
he
will
rise
again.
C
K
J
Great,
thank
you.
Cindy
bless
you,
so
the
the
storm
characteristics
storm
one
occurred
on
december
31st
through
january.
Second,
we
got
about
14
inches
of
snow
with
minor
drifting,
so
the
event
basically
lasted
49
hours
we
had
a
snow.
Emergency
was
called
for
january,
2nd
and
3rd,
and
we
had
a
snow
rock
parking
ban.
Also,
in
january,
2nd
and
3rd
storm
2
occurred
on
january
4th
and
5th
that
was
12
and
a
half
inches
of
snow.
We
had
major
drifting,
followed
by
sub-zero
temperatures.
The
duration
of
that
event
was
20
hours.
J
J
What's
really
interesting
to
note
is
that
the
quantity
of
snow
that
we
received
during
both
of
these
storms
events
was
not
predicted
to
be
as
much
as
it
was
and
I
think
distinctly.
I
remember
jim
and
I
talking
about
storm
two,
as
he
headed
points
south
to
georgia,
that
oh,
it's
only
gonna
be
one
or
two
inches
and
it
was
12
and
a
half
so,
and
that
was
from
the
weather
forecast,
not
from
gym.
So
so
combined
storm
one
storm:
two.
J
We
had
a
total
of
twenty
six
and
a
half
inches
in
a
one
week
period.
This
represents
the
second
snowiest
week
when
we
compare
that
to
the
national
weather
service
record
for
the
for
chicago
o'hare.
This
is
also
six
and
a
half
more
inches
of
snow
that
we
received
than
the
blizzard
in
2011,
which
I'm
sure
you
all
remember-
and
this
is
three
inches
inches
more
than
the
average
annual
snowfall
for
evanston.
So
we
have
already
exceeded
our
average
snowfall.
Just
on
that
those
two
days
alone.
J
J
All
of
those
events
are
attract
and
calculated
by
the
weather
service
that
we
subscribed
to.
So
the
number
of
events
that
we
had
so
far
this
year
have
they
only
constitute
seven
events
so
like
when
I
describe
snow
event,
one
and
two.
They
look
at
the
the
storm
pattern
that
may
occur
over
several
days
and
they
group
that
into
an
event
or
it
may
be
a
freezing
rain
event
that
occurs.
You
know
in
an
hour
that
would
actually
be
an
event
if
it
starts
stops,
turns
into
something
else.
J
J
J
J
So
I
guess
the
last
column
is
really
the
the
column
that
we
should
pay
the
most
attention
to.
We
have
already
spent
more
than
what
we
had
budgeted
for
snow
over
time
and
we're
still
in
pretty
good
shape,
as
it
relates
to
salt
materials
and
then
equipment
rentals
we
never
budget
for
anyway.
That's
when
we
for
this
particular
storm.
J
J
So
I
really
wanted
to
talk
about
how
evanston
we're
not
quite
like
wilmette,
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
they
have
an
abundance
of
of
off
street
parking
lots
of
garages
driveways
in
which
to
put
their
vehicles.
They
have
on
street
residential
parking,
a
prohibition
overnight.
That's
every
day
of
the
year.
You
can't
park
on
most
of
their
residential
streets
and
it
makes
it
a
lot
easier
for
them
to
come
through
and
clear
snow,
their
expectations
of
their
residents.
J
They
have
mandatory
parking
prohibitions
on
the
main
routes,
two
inches
of
snow.
You
can't
park
on
the
street.
They
have,
I
said
unlimited.
It
seems
unlimited
to
us
of
salt
and
equipment,
resources
and
personnel
resources.
The
expectations
that
their
travel
lanes
are
clear
to
the
curb
the
residential
expectations
are
that
the
street
gets
plowed
down
the
middle
of
the
road
and
then,
once
again
they
have
abundance
of
equipment
and
material
resources.
J
J
We
have
parking
prohibitions
on
main
routes
and
residential
routes.
Only
if
they're
declared
as
such-
and
we
also
have
limited
resources
and
personnel
and
the
expectations
remains
the
same-
that
the
travel
lanes
are
clear
to
the
curb
and
the
residential
streets
are
clear
to
the
curb
so
trying
to
accomplish
all
of
that
with
limited
parking
in
places
for
people
to
do
can
be
challenging
not
impossible,
but
very
challenging.
J
So
what
I
did
was
I
went
back
and
to
take
a
look
at
the
lessons
learned
from
the
the
blizzard
we
established
two
slides
of
lessons
learned
as
a
result
of
the
blizzard,
and
then
I
went
back
to
evaluate
how
I
would
say
we
did
in
in
those
areas
and
communication.
I
think
we
did
a
phenomenal
job,
which
erica
will
talk
about
later.
J
The
parking
flexibility
right
off
the
bat
we
went
and
had
the
conversations
with
the
schools
made
the
parking
decks
available,
the
dominic's
parking
lot.
There
was
lots
of
neighborhood
opportunities
to
park,
the
modification
of
even
odd
tow
procedures.
I
gave
us
a
middle
of
the
road
type
of
evaluation
and
it
had
more
to
do
with.
J
We
tried
to
look
at
the
the
normal
snowfall
amount
and
the
over
four
inches.
I
think
we
handled
very
well
the
over
the
12
inches
piece
when
we
go
to
at
what
point
do
we
go
to
to
alley
cleaning
to
you
know
it
took
us
a
minute
to
get
to
some
of
those
over
12
inches
activities
and
it
had
to
do
with
when
it
all
comes
down
at
once,
and
it's
21
inches.
It's
really
clear
to
see.
J
I
have
21
inches
in
front
of
me
that
I
have
to
get
up
versus
you
know
when
it
comes
in
bits
and
pieces
and
then
the
forecasts
don't
match
the
bits
and
pieces
that
you're
left
with,
and
I
mean
and
we're.
We
expect
some
of
that
because
we
are
on
the
lake,
so
we
know
we'll
get
some
lake
effect
snow,
so
we
still
have
work
to
do
in
that
regard.
J
The
partnerships
again
right
off
the
bat
every
single
department
out
can
really
echo
what
what
greg
said
as
it
relates
to
fighting
a
fire,
the
city
and
the
resources,
the
community.
Everybody
comes
together
and
and
provides
support.
Now.
What
I
will
say
was
a
little
different
in
this
storm
because
after
the
second
snow
it
was
so
cold
outside.
It
was
a
little
different
characteristic
than
the
blizzard
after
the
blizzard
blizzard
was
kind
of
warm.
You
know,
20
to
30
degrees.
There
were
people
in
sleds,
kids.
J
There
was
nobody,
it
was
a
ghost
town
when
it
was
so
cold
outside
that
I
mean
the
the
plows
really
had
a
free
rein
to
clean
up
everything.
So
that
was
a
little
different
this
time
and
then
again
we
utilize
vendors
to
to
come
help
us
hall.
We
got
a
hold
of
them
right
away
before
anybody
else.
We
had
to
wait
a
little
bit
the
the
blizzard,
but
we
called
them
in,
and
so
we
were
able
to
get
all
the
additional
support
that
we
needed
and
the
priorities
and
consistency.
J
I
gave
us
a
so-so
grade
as
it
relates
to
the
residential
street.
We
made
a
decision
knowing
that
the
temperatures
were
going
to
be
frigid
during
that
storm
too,
not
to
call
a
snow
emergency
or
snowball
parking
ban
because
of
the
frigid
temperatures
and
again
some
of
that
had
to
do
with
the
a
team
effort
in
terms
of
what
the
impact
would
be.
J
So
we
elected
and
thought
that
would
be
best
for
the
residents
and
that
those
that
could
get
out
and
move
on
a
voluntary
basis.
We
would
plow
around
them
quicker
response.
I
think
that
we
were
able
to
do
that.
We
handled
the
consolidated
public
works
department
where
pulling
in
parks
and
forestry
personnel.
We
were
able
to
move
resources
around
and
and
really
address
all
the
needs
that
we
needed
to
do
much
more
quickly
in
a
much
more
cohesive
manner
and
then
operations
compared
to
to
other
communities.
J
J
I
think
everybody
was
able
to
get
to
go
wherever
they
needed
to
go,
and
so
you
know
it
took
us
a
couple
of
days,
but
you
know
being
able
to
to
kind
of
walk
around
downtown
and
and
then
some
of
the
other
business
districts,
because
we
were
out
there
hauling,
snow
and
people
were
able
to
go
to
work
when
they
needed
to
go
to
work
and
go
to
school
whenever
they
needed
to.
We
were
able
to
go
and
clear
the
the
ada
ramps,
the
the
safe
routes
to
school
crossings.
J
We
had,
I
think,
every
base
covered
and
so
the
as
soon
as
we
kind
of
finished
clearing
the
snow
we
ended
up
with.
I
think
that
this
has
been
on
the
news
quite
a
bit.
We
went
right
into
pothole
patching
because,
as
the
the
temperatures
kind
of
swung
back
in
the
the
other
direction-
and
we
ended
up
with
rain-
we
had
potholes
everywhere
we're
still
working,
but
we
got
quite
a
bit
done
over
the
weekend
over
26
tons
of
cold
patch,
and
that's
that's
quite
a
bit.
J
I
mean
we
are
only.
We
each
of
our
hot
boxes
carry
about
a
ton
and
a
half,
so
they
were
going
back
and
forth
refilling
going
from
primary
route
and
so
that
that
cost
cost
us
about
twenty
nine
hundred
dollars.
And
at
this
point
and
before
I
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
paul
who's,
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
the
tree
damage
that
that
we
also
experienced.
But
I
wanted
to
echo
you
know
what
greg
said
not
only
with
all
the
public
works
staff
and
all
the
divisions.
J
You
know.
I
have
to
remind
myself
that
I
mean
fleet
was
amazing.
I
mean
we
were
able
to
to
move
and
keep
our
vehicles
running.
We
had
very
little
little
down
time,
so
I
think
they
did
a
good
job
on
the
front
end
preparing
our
our
pieces
of
equipment
so
that
in
the
subdural
temperatures
we
had
very
little
breakdowns.
Now,
as
we
got
towards
the
end,
we
got
a
little
more
challenging
on
the
end
end
of
things,
but
they
really
were
were
there
to
to
support
us.
J
L
Good
evening,
madam
mayor
members
of
the
council
clerk
green
city
manager,
unfortunately,
I've
got
some
bad
news
to
report
as
a
result
of
the
sub-zero
temperatures
we
experienced
last
week,
we've
discovered
our
sycamore
london
plane,
trees,
both
of
which
are
related,
have
are
now
suffering
from
what
are
called
radial
shakes.
This
is
not
anything
I've
ever
seen
in
my
35
years,
working
with
trees.
L
So
as
as
I
mentioned,
the
structural
integrity
is
compromised,
we're
recommending
emergency
removal
of
all
60
of
these
trees
that
we
found
this
way,
I'm
requesting
for
the
next
four
saturdays
at
the
personnel
cost
of
about
thirty
three
hundred
thirty,
three
thousand
thirty
three
hundred
dollars.
This
will
limit
the
impact
to
the
existing
backlog
and
my
existing
backlog,
just
by
the
way,
is
currently
standing
at
309
removals
of
other
trees.
More
than
280
of
those
are
ash.
L
L
11
of
these
60
trees
since
last
tuesday,
and
the
the
really
weird
thing
about
the
the
whole
problem
is
that
when
the
crews
showed
up
this
morning
to
start
removing
some
of
these
trees
that
we
found
were
cracked
last
week,
most
of
those
cracks
have
closed
back
up
again,
which
is
even
more
strange
than
the
the
cracks
themselves.
But
just
because
they've
closed
up
doesn't
mean
that
the
problem
is
not
still
there.
These
trees
will
not
heal
themselves
when
they
were
that
deeply
cracked
to
begin
with.
So
all
right.
L
A
N
N
G
N
E
You,
mr
dagostino,
and
thank
you
director
robinson
and
mr
mayworm
for
extraordinary
efforts
during
the
two
big
storm
events.
My
question
has
to
do
with
the
trees.
Do
we
have
clusters
of
sycamores
similar
to
the
ash?
Trees
were
like
on
dodge
avenue
where
we
lost
a
whole
stream
of
trees.
Are
there
trees
left
on
that
stretch
of
dodge?
After
we,
you
know
the
ash
and
then
the
sycamore
did
they
plant
the
sycamores
in
the
same
way
that.
L
E
If
there's
a
tree
that
suffered
a
radial
shake
of
one
of
the
deep
full
depth
radial
shakes
and
maybe
appears
to
have
healed,
maybe
didn't
get
caught
in
the
inspection.
Will
there
will
its
damage
become
apparent
as
the
year
goes
on,
and
or
do
you
think,
your
timing?
Your
inspections
were
really
well
timed
such
that
you've,
you've
inspected
all
the
trees
and
you
know
which
ones
were
mostly
damaged.
Yeah.
L
We
were
able
to
get
through
all
the
inspections
by
the
end
of
the
day
on
wednesday,
so
it
only
took
us
a
day
and
a
half
to
get
through,
so
we,
I
think,
I'm
confident
we
found
the
ones
that
are
severely
cracked,
but
even
so
the
ones
that
are
not
severely
cracked
may
still
continue
to
decline
and
that'll
show
up
in
the
coming
growing
season
with
a
thin
amount
of
growth.
Dieback
could
be
a
number
of
numbers,
so
you'll
continue
to
monitor
this.
O
O
Answering
yourself,
you
know
the
telephone
in
and
even
better
at
you
know
getting
someone
out
there
to
address
the
problem.
So
thank
you
very
much
one
of
the
questions
I
have
for
you
director
two
questions.
First,
I
I
received
two
sets
of
phone
calls.
The
first
call
was
from
seniors,
and
so
I
I
realized
that
somewhere
on
our
city
website,
there
is
a
volunteer
snow
removal.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
and
explain
to
the
public
how
that
works.
A
J
To
to
make
the
request,
I
I
think
that
the
most
important
piece
is
when
you
know
that
I
mean
when
the
early
on
in
the
the
event-
and
you
know
that
you're
going
to
have
need
for
the
the
the
sooner
you.
Let
us
know
right
that
the
the
better
off
we
are.
The
the
this
service
is
not
provided
by
public
works,
they're,
actually
volunteers
through
the
the
seniors.
So
I
think
they
go
to
christina.
O
Yeah
and
then
the
other
question
is
so
in
the
other
set
of
complaints
actually
another
compliment
that
did
an
excellent
job,
getting
the
word
out
regarding
the
parking
ban,
so
I
didn't
get
any
complaints
about
cars
that
were
removed,
but
it
was
cars
that
were
not
removed,
and
so
you
know
thank
you
for
that,
and
thank
you
to
the
residents
for
the
patience
but
moving
forward.
If
we
get
another
blanket
of
snow
like
this,
can
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
again?
J
Well,
when
we,
when
we
talked,
I
think
about
six
months
ago,
of
course,
we
talk
about
snow
when
it's
not
snowing
and
we
talk
about
potential
changes.
One
of
the
things
that
that
I
talked
to
council
about
is
that
you
know
we
can
have
this
hard,
fast
rule
which
I
believe
skokie
went
to
and
they
they
just
passed
the
law
and
basically
said
when
it's
four
inches
of
snow.
You
will
follow
even
odd
period
across
the
board.
No
no
judgment
is
that's
just
the
the
law.
J
What
we
try
to
do
is
we
take
into
a
variety.
We
take
several
things
into
consideration.
For
example,
if
we
know
that
we
got
four
inches
of
snow
and
the
temperature
is
going
to
be
above
freezing
and
it's
all
going
to
melt,
we
may
or
may
not,
it
depends
on
the
the
day
of
the
week.
So
this
is
the
weekend
and
people
are
at
home.
We
try
to
think
about
how
easy
or
comfortable
it
would
be.
J
J
I
said
it's
a
variety
this
this
time
the
factors
were
the
frigid
temperatures
that
we're
following
and
that
that's
really
what
made
us
hesitant
to
do
it
the
second
time,
but
I
will
say
that
the
the
first
snow
emergency
that
we
had
on
on
the
second
and
third,
we
probably
had
the
least
amount
of
compliance
that
that
I've
seen
in
quite
some
time,
we've
relocated.
Quite
a
few
cars
close
to
500
and
close
to
500
tickets
issued
for
those
that
we
didn't
tow
and
that's
pretty
high.
J
So
and
that's
with
increased
increased
fee.
We
just
increased
the
relocation
fee,
so
you
know
it's
it's
a
a
judgment.
Call
in
terms
of
you
know
when
there's
more
snow,
people
are
actually
a
little
less
likely
to
move,
and
then
we
also
had
the
the
battle
of
keeping
the
the
middle
of
the
road
clear.
So
even
if
we
were
to
we
were,
we
were
even
not
in
a
position
to
switch
and
by
the
time
we
were
able
to
issue
a
snow
emergency.
J
The
frigid
temperatures
were
upon
us
and
you
know,
like
I
said
people
just
wouldn't-
have
had
the
the
other
side
to
really
go
to.
So
you
know
when
I
think
I
pose
the
question
before
is:
do
you
you
want
us
to
to
offer
the
the
flexibility
and
judgment
and
use
some
of
those,
and-
and
we
talked
about
that
even
on
the
conference-
call
the
the
conference
call
which
council
you
know,
we
kind
of
laid
out
the
plan
and
the
the
rationale.
J
G
G
I
especially
want
to
compliment
jim
because
the
emails
that
I
get
and
that
I
send
to
him
about
the
snow
removal
I
mean,
I
don't
know
you-
have
the
patience
of
job,
I'm
honestly
you're
just
so
positive
and
you
everyone
feels
very
satisfied
with
the
answers
that
you
get
and
things
get
done
right
away,
and
so
thank
you
for
that.
I
know
everyone
really
appreciates
that
paul.
G
Can
I
just
ask
you
a
quick
question:
have
I
I
remember
when
we
were
when
we
were
having
the
big
elm
die
off
and
removals
that
london
plane
trees
were
one
of
those
parkway
trees
that
were
slated
for
certain
areas
and
that
they
didn't
last
very
long.
A
lot
of
them
died
off
pretty
quickly.
They're,
not
a
permitted
parkway
tree
anymore.
Are
they?
Are
we
still.
G
C
Amanda
members
of
the
council,
the
last
piece
of
this
I'd
like
to
ask
erica
sterling
our
deputy
city
manager.
Just
to
briefly
talk
about
3-1-1
she'll,
be
back
in
two
weeks
to
unveil
our
new
3-1-1
app
and
some
other
improvements.
So
perhaps
we
can
leave
much
of
the
report
until
then,
but
maybe
just
give
a
few
highlights
of
311
and
how
it
worked
over
the
last
couple
weeks.
P
Yes,
good
evening,
madam
mayor
members
of
the
council,
clerk
green
and
city
manager,
I
just
have
two
quick
slides
talking
about
our
outreach
effort
and
our
311
operation
during
this
these
recent
storms.
So,
as
you
know,
we
have
a
email
newsletter
that
we
send
out
and
we
have
37
000
recipients
on
that
list.
So
every
single
day,
from
january,
first,
to
january,
seventh,
we
sent
out
an
email
to
this
list,
giving
people
information
about
the
storm.
In
addition
to
those
thirty
seven
thousand
email
recipients.
P
P
Additionally,
this
community
engagement
team
did
a
fine
job,
utilizing
our
social
media
channels
to
get
the
word
out
and
responding
to
issues
that
were
being
brought
up
through
those
channels
instead
of
through
3-1-1
and
especially
as
alderman
braithwaite
had
brought
up.
We
were
able
to
quadruple
the
number
of
volunteers
we
had
for
the
snow
shoveling
operation
through
those
efforts,
and
we
solicited
volunteers
through
both
the
emails
and
the
social
media
channels
and
as
the
community
often
does,
they
responded
with
generosity
and
looking
for
people
who
needed
help
to
shovel.
P
P
Additionally,
we
were
open
some
extended
hours
during
this
period
and
I
realized
without
knowing
what
our
average
call
volume
is.
It
doesn't
let
you
know
that
these
are
very
high
numbers,
the
january
2nd.
Normally,
we
would
see
anywhere
from
300
to
500
calls
on
a
day
like
that,
and
we
get
831,
which
is
a
top
15
day
in
the
history
of
room
one.
P
So
the
three-on-one
staff
people
did
a
phenomenal
job
answering
the
calls
as
they
came
in
and
keeping
the
abandon
rate
low,
and
not
many
people
didn't
reach
somebody
when
they
were
trying
to
get
through.
So
that's
a
good
kudos
to
them
for
making
sure
they
were
monitoring
the
calls
that
were
in
queue
and
getting
to
them
before
people
were
dropping
off.
P
Additionally,
you
know
we
now
have
this
live
chat
option
on
our
website,
which
a
lot
more
people
have
been
taking
advantage
of.
So
I
just
want
to
give
another
shout
out
to
people
to
utilize
that
service.
It
seems
to
be
something
that
people
have
found
quite
useful
and
will
continue
to
use
that
as
another
channel.
P
Lastly,
I
wanted
to
mention
that
the
service
requests
that
have
been
taken
in
over
this
period
of
time
also
very
high.
Normally,
on
a
date
regular
day,
we
might
see
30
to
50
service
requests
and
nearly
100
or
over
100
on
some
of
these
days
was
was
really
quite
high
and
it
was
able
to
relay
the
information
that
was
coming
in
from
the
public
to
the
departments
that
needed
to
get
it
and
generally
the
feedback
that
we
got
from
the
residents
through.
P
The
calls
were
mostly
positive
and
they
were
very
appreciative
of
having
the
parking
garages
available
to
park
in,
and
you
know
it's
very
a
key
tool
for
us
to
have
that
feedback
mechanism.
So
we
can
see
where
problem
areas
are
and
really
get
a
feel
for
what
the
community
is
going
through.
So
that's
all
I
have
on
that
and.
C
Erica,
if
you
could
stay
right
there,
madam
mayor,
we
have
one
last
item
unrelated
but
sort
of
related,
and
that
is
that
we've
recently
been
recognized
by
the
illinois
policy
institute
for
the
city's
transparency.
We
are
one
of
the
few
communities
in
illinois
to
receive
100
rating
and
erica.
Perhaps
you
can
introduce
the
gentleman
from
the
illinois
policy
institute,
decided
to
come
and
give
us
a
special
award
for
our
our
100
rating.
So,
sir,
maybe
you
can
just
introduce
yourself
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
award
absolutely.
Q
Madam
mayor
council,
city
manager,
city
clerk,
my
name
is
brian
coston.
I'm
the
director
of
government
reform
from
the
illinois
policy
institute,
we're
a
non-profit,
nonpartisan
organization,
and
one
of
our
keystone
projects
that
we
have
at
the
institute
is
our
local
transparency
project
and
what
it
is.
Is
we've
created
a
ten
point:
transparency,
best
practices,
recommendation
for
local
governments
all
across
the
state
of
illinois
to
implement.
Q
There's
also
sometimes
a
lack
of
participation
in
government
and
by
having
the
opportunity
for
citizens
to
get
educated
about
local
government
through
online
transparency
is
another
way
to
help
them
become
educated
participants
in
local
government.
And
finally,
we
believe
the
taxpayers
have
a
right
to
know
how
their
money
is
being
spent.
Q
Q
He
was
kind
of
my
point
person
of
who
I
communicated
with
and
worked
over
a
period
of
many
months
to
help
make
this
happen
and
we're
just
so
thankful
for
the
city
of
evanston
to
set
an
example
for
other
local
governments
across
the
state
of
illinois,
and
hopefully
one
day.
This
will
be
something
that
happens
all
over
the
state
of
illinois
and
not
just
six
government
agencies.
So
we
just
really
wanted
to
express
our
appreciation
for
really
showing
the
way
for
other
communities
across
the
state
of
illinois.
C
C
And,
as
I
mentioned
eric
I'll
be
back
in
two
weeks,
if
you
want
to
check
out,
if
you
go
to
the
app
store
for
apple
or
to
the
android
store
and
search
evanston,
you
will
find
our
new
311
app
and
we'll
be
formally
rolling
that
out
in
two
weeks
time.
So
we're
very
excited
about
that,
and
then
amir
with
that.
That
concludes
my
reports.
B
Yes,
madam
mayor,
I
have
two
important
announcements
I
want
to
make
for
those
who've
been
calling
the
office
asking.
When
can
they
can
register
to
vote?
The
clerk's
office,
along
with
the
the
women's
league
of
legal
voters,
will
be
having
a
a
voter
registration
drive.
This
thursday,
the
16th
from
9-5
pm
will
be
located
in
rooms,
24,
2
and
24
4..
So
all
of
you
who
are
out
there
want
to
register
to
vote
come
in
at
that
time.
B
B
Is
reference
to
the
new
disability
act?
That's
come
around
that
those
who
have
disability
placards
they're
becoming
more
stringent
in
the
the
eligibility
for
those
who
who
are
disabled
and
so
they're
having
two
two
tiers
of
placards
that
they
have
now.
If
you
have
a
yellow
and
gray
placard,
that's
your
permanent
placket!
That
will
mean
that
you
will
not
have
to
pay
at
the
meters.
You
exempt
it
from
it.
A
R
Tonight
I
will
speak
to
the
potential
contract
to
sell
water
to
niles
item
five
under
the
memorandum
of
understanding
between
the
city
of
evanston
and
niles.
I
want
to
be
clear
to
this
council
about
my
issue:
I'm
not
opposed
to
selling
water.
What
I'm
appalled
by
is
the
lack
of
the
cities
producing
honest
numbers
on
the
current
sales
of
water
to
current
customers
that
deal
with
profits,
losses
and
operating
expenses.
R
This
is
not
about
a
new
small
increment
of
new
revenue,
but
whether
the
so-called
business
is
really
running
in
the
black.
My
own
analysis
keeps
on
showing
this
operations
in
the
red
with
events
and
ratepayers
potentially
subsidizing
the
other
customers.
I
believe
we
could
be
several
million
dollars
in
the
red.
The
evanston
water
reservoir
project
now
proposed
creates
a
40
percent
extra
capacity
beyond
current
levels.
R
What's
interesting,
this
so-called
extra
capacity
comes
with
a
cost:
a
20
water
bill,
increase
to
the
evanston
customers
with
current
and
future
don
evanston
residents
appearing
not
to
pay
for
this.
So
where's
the
benefit
here.
It's
time
for
this
council
to
show
responsible
fiscal
leadership
and
demand
the
city
manager,
chief
financial
officer
and
the
utilities
director
show
this
is
operating
like
a
business.
R
I
believe
the
reason
senior
staff
here
cannot
and
will
not
produce
real
numbers.
As
they
know,
once
the
real
numbers
come
out,
it'll
be
a
potential
political
scandal.
We
need
an
outside
audit
of
the
department,
accompanied
by
a
complete
review
of
the
business
model,
determining
real
operations
and
true
and
honest
profits
and
losses.
R
If
this
is
not
done,
I
believe
we
may
enter
into
more
future
non,
not
not
profitable
water
contracts.
The
current
director
of
utilities
wants
a
30
plus
increase
on
the
water
bills.
He
claims
more
needed,
so
it's
likely
we're
talking
50
percent
pretty
quickly.
Here.
It's
time
the
city
manager,
cfo
and
director
of
utilities
explained
to
us
how
any
new
contracts
will
lower
our
water
bills.
R
Years
ago,
the
city
entered
into
unprofitable
water
contracts,
which
still
are
valid.
I
do
not
see
any
difference
here.
It
appears
to
me
the
current
staff
is
about
to
possibly
enter
into
more
unprofitable
contracts
for
political
purposes,
but
beyond
my
lack
of
faith
in
senior
staff.
My
concern
is:
if
this,
these
water
bills
double,
could
quickly
double
or
triple,
which
could
hurt
individual
residents,
home
values
and
finances,
as
well
as
possibly
move
the
city
to
bankruptcy.
Thank
you.
S
S
E
E
Would
for
kevin
and
so
kevin?
I
think
we
can
all
say
that
we're
so
glad
that
you've
landed
well.
I
want
to
thank,
of
course,
your
friends
at
northwestern
university
athletics
who
who
brushed
up
your
interviewing
skills
ahead
of
the
job
application
process
and
really
we're
so
pleased
that
you've,
you've
done
well
and
as
you've
reported
there
are,
I
think,
four
or
five
employees
of
the
green
bay
dominic
store
out
of
more
than
70
who
have
found
jobs
at
the
jewel
in
wilmette.
E
K
K
Evanston
senior
citizens
receive
renewal
applications
for
senior
citizen
property
tax
exemptions
on
saturday
and
will
have
until
february
the
5th
to
return
them
to
the
cook
county
assessor's
office.
A
local
senior
citizen
should
feel
free
to
call
my
office
at
847-448-8168
and
I'd
be
happy
to
I'd,
be
happy
to
help
them
fill
out
their
forms,
and
I
will
personally
deliver
them
to
them
to
the
cook
county
assessor's
office,
the
eligibility
for
senior
citizen
exemptions.
K
There
are
two
senior
citizen
tax
exemptions,
the
senior
exemptions
which
is
available
to
all
seniors,
regardless
of
income,
reduces
property
taxes
by
about
five
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
and
is
available
to
any
owner
occupied
residential
property
owner
who
was
born
in
1948
or
earlier
now.
I
also
want
to
explain
that
there's,
there's
one
form
and
one
and
the
one
form
has
a
senior
freeze
on
the
form,
as
well
as
the
senior
exemption.
K
The
senior
freeze
provides
some
seniors
with
additional
savings
of
the
combined
income
of
all
members
of
the
household,
if
it's
less
than
55
000,
and
if
the
senior
has
been
an
owner
occupied
of
the
property
since
january
1st
of
2012,
so
you
have
to
live
in
your
home
as
of
january
1st,
2012
and
you
have.
Your
household
income
has
to
be
less
than
55
dollars
to
a
to
a
to
apply
for
the
senior
freeze.
The
senior
applications
have
been
mailed
and
up
for
2013
property
taxes
which
are
paid
for
in
calendar
year.
2014.
K
The
savings
from
the
exemptions
will
appear
on
the
second
installment
of
tax
bills
that
will
likely
be
mailed
in
july
of
2014
the
law
on
heiress
exemptions.
A
new
law
requires
taxpayers
to
repay
tax
savings
received
from
the
exemptions
that
they
are
not
eligible
for.
If
a
senior
citizen
recently
died
or
moved
the
prop
or
moved,
the
property
may
not
be
eligible
for
a
senior
exemption
this
year.
K
K
A
reminder
that
evanston
township
assessor's
office
has
moved
to
the
civic
center.
A
lot
of
many
people
are
now
going
to
maine
and
dodge,
and
I'm
trying
to
get
that
word
out
as
much
as
I
can
that
we're
now
at
the
civic
center
and
we're
on
the
first
floor
next
to
the
city
clerk's
office.
It's
best
to
call
our
office
for
an
appointment
instead
of
walking
in
our
number
again
is.
K
K
This
information
there's
also
another
information
on
tax
deferred
taxes
for
seniors,
and
I
will
pass
this
off
and
I
encourage
all
of
you
who
are
having
meetings
this
month
or
before
february
fifth
or
have
newsletters
to.
Please
include
this
information
in
your
newsletters
and
end
your
award
meetings.
Thank
you.
R
There
was
an
item
on
the
agenda,
but
I'm
not
speaking
so
much
to
the
item,
but
an
issue
with
the
item.
That's
very
interesting!
I'm
not
pro
con
to
the
item.
There's
70
000
on
here
for
what
you're
calling
vortex,
restrictors
they're,
obviously
in
the
storm
source
and
they're,
used
to
basically
decrease
the
flow
of
water,
but
there
was
an
interesting
statement
in
here
made
by
staff
in
the
memo.
Since
we're
talking
about
transparency
over
time.
The
restrictors
installed
in
the
system
go
missing.
R
Well,
you
know
how?
How
does
something
install
underground
in
a
system
go
missing?
Could
somebody
explain
that
to
me
the
question
is,
as
I
looked
at
this,
I
started
to
wonder:
why
would
this
happen?
I
looked
farther
at
the
proposal
and
were
buying
40
of
these.
But
what
are
these
things
made
out
of
stainless
steel
question?
Is:
why
did
these
go
missing?
Did
somebody
take
them
and
sell
them
for
scrap
what
happened?
R
Why
are
we
replacing
them
and,
given
that
you
know,
people
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
climb
down
into
the
sewers
storm
stores
and
take
these
things
out,
I'd
like
to
know
what
happened
as
a
taxpayer?
Why
we're
going
to
now
spend
seventy
thousand
dollars
here?
So
the
question
is
really:
you
know.
Is
this
a
very
transparent
memo
we
have
from
city
staff,
these
things
just
go
missing:
do
they

walk
away,
or
were

Thank
you.
T
Good
evening,
mayor
city,
council,
members
and
city
clerk
green
in
june
of
2013,
I
received
a
call
from
the
police
chief
of
the
evanston
police
chief
eddington.
He
called
to
inform
me
that
he
had
information
regarding
a
possible
attempt
that
would
be
made
on
my
son's
life
and
he
asked
as
a
responsive
public
servant
if
he
could
send
a
police
unit
to
my
address
to
ward
off
such
an
attempt.
T
T
I
am
equally
surprised
that
my
recent
phone
call
to
his
office
has
still
remained
unreturned,
but
I
guess
I'm
not
approaching
this
situation
properly.
Maybe
I
should
set
up
clandestine
meetings
in
downtown
evanston
business.
Restaurants
like
chili's,
as
so
other
called
private
citizens
and
upper
level
epd
personnels
outside
the
realms
on
the
police
stations
do
yet.
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
question
how
this
can
be
deemed
as
a
legitimate
and
proper
meeting
to
discuss
these
and
any
concerns
within
the
professional
standards
that
should
be
adhered
to
by
the
evidence
police
department.
T
To
that
I
add
what
has
been
said
that
the
pen
is
mightier
than
the
sword,
but
you
see
the
power
of
the
pen
can
also
be
deadly.
It
is
a
deadly
when
the
writer
is
utilizing
creative
stories.
From
the
only
point
of
view
one
and
perspective,
I
am
admonishing
the
readers
as
they
stand
on
their
condominium
balconies,
to
not
be
so
naive.
In
fact,
it
is
stories
like
these
that
are
choking
the
life
out
of
our
community,
in
which
we
are
now
living.
T
You
still
have
not
solved
one
case
as
of
yet
I
would
like
to
go
on
record
stating
this
on
my
son's
behalf.
He
was
never
stopped
and
frisk
the
so-called
municipal
practice
or
ordinance
wasn't
in
fact
long
before
his
release.
I
myself
remember
bearing
witness
to
a
sloppy
attempt
against
some
individuals
sitting
in
a
park
in
which
their
civil
rights
were
in
jeopardy.
T
Had
I
not
been
there
during
such
a
frivolous
feat,
I
would
also
like
to
make
mention
on
my
son's
behalf
that
he
has
only
been
convicted
of
one
crime
which
he
has
served
his
time
for
yet
individuals
with
accountable,
more
felonies
attached
to
their
name
have
been
arrested,
released
to
travel
the
streets
of
evanson
to
only
be
rearrested
again.
I
did
not
see
these
figures
in
his
wonderful,
comprehensive
report
to
inform
this
wonderful
community
of
this
valiant
effort.
Ms
hill,
I
do
need
you
to
wrap
up.
T
I
would
applaud
the
city
of
evanston
on
its
recent
addition
to
the
community
liaison
for
the
lgbt
community.
Each
sect
of
this
community
in
this
most
livable
city
should
have
one
a
liaison.
That
is,
but
I
have
to
ask
where's
the
african
american
liaison
for
evanston.
Where
is
this
person
our
person
our
face
since
de
jay,
coleman's
murder?
T
We
have
had
numerous
town
home
meetings
and
other
things
behind
tragic
events
as
such
in
evanston
concerning
the
wave
of
violence
within
our
community
we've,
yet
to
see
one
viable
program
that
has
garnered
any
of
these
efforts.
All
we've
seen
is
continuous,
self-gratification
and
boasting
of
the
community
planning
events
for
million
dollar
real
estate
projects.
T
We
came
together
not
just
to
tell
you
what
we
think
mayor
and
the
city
council,
but
what
we
feel
and
what
we
need
and
respectfully
and
trustingly
thought
you
would
respond
to
it.
But
these
ideas,
suggestions
and
needs
have
seemingly
fallen
deaf
ears,
no
youth
programming,
inclusive
to
the
ideas
of
the
needs
of
the
community,
with
so
many
open
wounds,
no
reentry
or
second
chance
programs
accessible.
T
A
U
Linda
damashek
1318
judson,
I'm
here
to
speak
tonight
on
the
the
b
b
proposal
that's
being
introduced
tonight,
and
I
felt
that
I
really
needed
to
come
and
speak
personally,
because
I
probably
I'm
I'm
the
only
person
in
this
room,
I'm
sure
and
maybe
in
much
larger
connections.
Who
has
personal
experience
with
this.
U
It's
a
business
and
it's
intrusive
into
the
residential
quality
of
life
and
basically
bnb
owners
are
profiting
financially
at
the
expense
of
their
neighbors,
pretty
pure
and
simple.
Really,
it
would
be
there's
a
proposal
to
break
it
into
two
different
types,
and
I
wanted
to
comment
on
those
proposals,
but
I
spoke
to
the
planning,
commission
and
one
of
the
persons
there
was
asking
well.
Does
it
make
any
difference?
You
know
how
how
was
the
b
b
person
any
different
than
you
know?
U
A
college
kid
coming
home
to
visit,
and
I
was
I
responded
that
in
our
area
we
have
people
living
in
coach
houses.
We
have,
you
know
lots
of
people
coming
and
going,
but
the
difference
is
that
somebody
in
the
coach
house
is
your
neighbor.
You
know
you
know
these
people
when
you
have
a
constant
stream
of
strangers
coming
in
to
your
next
door.
It
really
affects
the
quality
of
life,
and
I
really
wanted
you
all
to
think
about
it.
U

Oh,

First
rhonda

Madam

with

I
move
the
consent
agenda.
A
A
H
Let's
see,
this
is
a
matter
where
all
the
work
is
done.
This
is
a
payment
that
has
yet
to
be
made
and
because
there
is
an
issue
and
a
request
from
alderman
braithwaite
regarding
the
compliance
status
of
the
contractor,
we
are
holding
this
in
committee,
okay,
and
we
were
assured
by
staff
that
it's
it's
not
an
issue
of
timing
or
anything
like
that.
H
Next,
oh
a6,
approval
of
the
agreement
with
at
t
for
downtown
evanston,
wi-fi
network.
Madam
mayor,
I
move
approval
of
this
with
the
addition
of
an
amendment
that
requests
that
staff
negotiate
for
instead
of
a
payment
for
the
use
of
our
polls,
that
non-atnt
customers
be
able
to
access
the
service
okay.
So
I
move
approval.
A
K
H
Is
a
seven
report
on
vacant
property?
Fine,
1890
maple?
It
is
a
matter
of
an
amendment
to
the
staff's
requests
that
we
receive
and
file.
This
report
and
the
amendment
had
to
do
with
alderman
braithwaite,
recommending
that,
instead
of
the
direction
in
the
memo
that
the
the
twenty
four
hundred
dollar
fine
be
deducted
that
the
any
future
fees
deduct
twenty
four
hundred.
H
A
H
A
V
B
G
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
just
want
to
wish
everyone
happy
new
year.
I
want
especially
to
thank
not
only
the
fire
department
which
I
did
earlier,
but
also
the
police
department
for
their
handling
of
the
incident
with
the
chase
bank
robbery
and
their
cooperation
with
the
fbi
on
that.
I
think
that
was
an
important,
important
event
and
again
we're
just
fortunate
to
have
such
professional
people
in
our
police
and
fire
department,
so
special,
thank
you
to
chief
eddington
and
his
leadership
on
that
and
that's
my
report.
G
O
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
as
well,
happy
new
year
to
the
council
and
the
residents
that
are
paying
attention.
I
want
to
go
back.
I
want
to
thank
the
gentleman
who
came
up
during
public
comments
from
the
former
dominic
store,
just
reminding
me
to
acknowledge
all
the
residents
who,
over
the
dempster,
dodge,
planned
a
reception
for
the
many
employees
that
lost
their
jobs.
So
thank
you
all.
O
We
had
members
of
representation
from
the
city,
district,
65,
202,
northwestern
rotary,
and
I
hope
I
didn't
forget
anyone
present
to
work
with
our
edinson
businesses
and
get
them
off
to
a
good
start
in
what
I
would
call
a
very
successful
workshop.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
that
concludes
my
report.
Madam
mayor.
W
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
reiterate
my
appreciation
or
the
the
comments
of
alderman
fisk
and
others
as
to
the
police
and
fire
departments,
not
just
as
a
council
member
but
as
a
member
of
the
community.
I
feel
very
safe
and
grateful
for
the
level
of
protection
that
we
get
and
also
my
appreciation
for
everybody
else
in
the
city
who
works
hard
to
enable
them
to
do
their
jobs.
So
job
well
done
and
keep
up
the
good
work.
M
I
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Just
again,
I
wish
everyone
a
really
productive
and
healthy,
2014
and
I'll
just
remind
you
that
on
this
thursday,
at
fleetwood,
at
seven
o'clock,
we'll
be
having
the
regular
fifth
ward
meeting
and
we
will
be
discussing
carl
kennedy
will
be
there
to
discuss
vacant
buildings.
So,
if
anybody's
interested,
please
stop
by.
N
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
want
to
announce
that
there
is
a
sixth
board
meeting
on
january
23
7
pm
at
the
three
crowns
park,
2323
mcdaniel
on
the
agenda.
There
will
be
a
discussion
in
q,
a
for
the
upcoming
referendum
on
dissolution
of
the
township.
Also
representative,
laura
fein
will
be
there
to
talk
about
her
well
the
assembly's
up
and
coming
2014
agenda.
So
that's
seven
o'clock,
three
crowns
on
january
23rd,
also
I'd
like
to
just
get
a
shout
out
to
something
that
appeared
in
the
tribune
this
weekend.
N
When
anyone
gets
this
much
ink
in
the
tribune.
I
think
it
deserves
a
shout
out,
especially
when,
during
the
sixth
ward,
this
is
an
article
about
pat
baldwin
who's,
an
assistant
coach
who
has
returned
to
evanston
recruited
by
coach
collins,
and
it's
quite
a
very
compelling
and
amazing
article
about
him
and
his
wife,
who
is
also
an
outstanding
volleyball
player
at
northwestern.
N
E
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
first,
and
thank
you
to
all
the
residents
and
the
neighbors
who
came
to
the
dominics
on
green
bay
right
before
it
closed
to
celebrate
the
employees
there.
Thank
you
to
the
mayor
for
spending
so
much
time
with
the
employees.
It
was
really
nice
event.
We
had
students
coming
in
from
the
schools
after
school,
on
that
friday,
taking
trays
of
cookies
and
stuff
to
the
guys
who
are
restocking,
the
shelves
and
back
behind
the
deli
counter.
Thank
you,
mr
seidenberg,
for
your
really
lovely
coverage
of
the
event.
E
I
think
he
captured
it,
but
it
was.
It
was
really
nice
to
have
this
event
for
the
employees.
Before
the
store
closed,
the
the
city
of
evanston
has
lost
a
long
time
resident.
Her
name
was
antoinette
tony
raynan.
She
died
january,
2nd
and
tony
lived
with
us
in
evanston
for
68
years.
She
moved
here
from
wisconsin
in
1946
or
for
68
years
for
62
of
those
years,
tony
sang
with
the
saint
athanasius
church
choir,
and
she
and
I
sat
next
to
each
other
in
the
alto
section
for
about
the
last
12
years.
E
She
was
a
good
friend
and
I
was
sorry
to
lose
her.
She
lived
most
of
her
time
in
evanston
at
the
corner
of
livingston
and
broadway
until
she
moved
to
presbyterian
homes
where
she
died
earlier
this
month
she
had
a
rich
alto
voice.
She
loved
to
do
a
jig.
She
was
playful,
an
epitomized
kind
of
gentleness
and
patience
most
certainly,
she
had
a
long,
successful
career
with
illinois
bell
as
an
operator
and
then
a
supervisor
of
operators
and
when
she
retired
from
that
job,
she
worked
for
15
years
as
a
receptionist
at
the
mather.
E
H
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
just
want
to
reiterate
especially
judy
fist's
comments.
I
thought
they
were
very
inclusive
of
all
of
the
public
servants
in
this
community
and
all
the
work.
It
was
obvious
that
wasn't
just
the
snow
plowers
and
it
wasn't
just
the
firemen
that
made
things
good.
It
was
a
coming
together
of
everybody
in
a
lot
of
fire
departments.
H
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
also
want
to
thank
kelly
cassidy,
the
state
rep
for
the
area
of
howard
street,
where
the
peckish
pig
is
located
having
a
little
trouble
there
getting
the
state
over
to
do
an
inspection,
and
she
made
a
phone
call
for
us
and
just
amazing.
Eight
weeks
was
reduced
to
one
week
and
the
inspectors
are
coming.
H
I
believe,
on
friday
this
friday,
so
I
think
we're
going
to
see
the
opening
of
the
brew
pud
pub
very
soon,
and
also
thank
you
to
the
council
for
supporting
the
purchase
of
the
howard
street
building.
It's
really
a
very
important
one
of
the
last
pieces
in
the
puzzle
for
that
strip
of
howard,
one
of
the
last
pieces.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
now
I
would
like
to
introduce
my
colleague,
alderman
burris,
who
is
going
to
make
a
very
significant
announcement
argument.
A
H
X

You
have
no
idea.
The
little
beans
is
currently
working
with
the
property
owner
to
negotiate
a
lease.
So
this
is
not
a
done
deal
and-
and-
and
I
think
mr
bopkowicz
said
at
breakfast
this
morning-
he
won't
believe
it
until
alderman
rainey
and
I
are
cutting
a
ribbon
with
the
mayor.
So
we're
still
hopeful
but
again
thank
you
to
ann
and
johanna,
but
to
learn
more
about
the
little
beans
and
the
cafe
and
meet
the
owners.
Please
attend
the
ninth
ward
meeting
on
february
12th
at
7
p.m.

And
if
I
may,
before
alderman
wilson
just
reminder,

illinois

of
natural
resources

also
