A
B
C
President,
today
mayor
this
here,
we
have
a
quorum
president
prepared
to
do
our
work.
The
first
item
on
our
agenda
is
my
public
announcements,
of
which
there
are
none.
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
the
city
manager's
public
announcements.
D
Good
evening,
mayor
members
of
city
council,
clerk
Mendoza,
just
very
briefly,
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
so
much
to
the
city
staff
who
helped
us
on
the
fourth
of
July
celebration,
particularly
the
July
4th
Association
as
well,
but
also
please,
fire
Public,
Works,
Parks
and
Rec
administrative
services
and
other
City
staff
throughout
the
organization
who
did
an
excellent
job
of
planning
and
executing
a
safe
and
fun
Fourth
of
July
celebration,
both
the
parade,
fireworks
and
other
festivities
that
day.
So,
thank
you
so
much
to
City
staff.
For
that.
C
Thank
you
very
much
with
the
clerk.
Please
add
council
member
Burns
to
the
role
and
then
jump
in
with
any
Communications.
A
He
emailed
about
climate
action,
Evanston
PJ,
truly
as
well.
A
Sue
lobeck,
who
I
understand,
is
making
a
public
comment.
So
I'll
have
her
read
her
public
comment:
Karine
emailing,
the
city
council,
but
a
Chicago
Tribune
article
July,
9th.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
This
now
brings
us
to
public
comment
this
evening.
We
have
quite
a
few
people,
nearly
30,
and
so
everyone
participating
in
a
public
comment
this
evening
will
be
given
a
minute
and
40
seconds.
We
begin,
as
always,
with
those
who
signed
up
on
the
sheet
speak
in
person,
beginning
with
Gene
Breslin,
followed
by
Paul
Breslin
and
then
Bonnie
Wilson.
E
E
It
is
clear
from
the
minutes
of
the
June
26
city
council
meeting
that
the
motion
to
approve
the
Legacy
ordinance
was
never
seconded,
never
considered,
never
discussed
in
the
call
of
the
wards.
A
motion
was
made
to
consider.
It
got
a
second
the
motion
to
table
until
September
26th
failed.
The
motion
subsequently
was
withdrawn.
It
was
disposed
of.
E
There
is
no
basis
for
this
specific
proposed
project,
ordinance
60-023,
to
come
up
again
in
the
city
council.
If
the
developer
wants
to
make
a
new
proposal,
they
are
welcome
to
do
so.
We
would
hope
that
they
take
input
from
the
key
members
of
the
community
and
in
particular,
the
members
of
the
surrounding
residential
community
and
the
First
United
Methodist
Church,
before
doing
so
separately.
While
we
see
this
product
is
not
on
the
agenda
for
this
evening,
we.
E
Concern
about
the
initial
effort
to
put
this
specific
project
on
the
city
council
agenda
again
for
this
evening
or
for
any
other
upcoming
meeting.
We
are
confused
as
to
the
basis
for
so
doing
and
would
encourage
the
city
council
to
follow
good
and
transparent
process
in
this
manner
in
this
matter.
Thank
you.
C
B
My
comments
are
very
much
in
the
same
vein
as
my
wife's.
It
seems
to
me
that
after
the
Luc
voted
against
this
project,
five
to
four
and
planning
and
development
voted
against
it.
Five
to
one
and
the
motioned
table
failed
that
there
is
no
basis
for
sending
this
back
to
city
council
and
again,
if
the
developer
wants
to
revise
the
project
and
take
into
account
the
criticisms
made
by
those
who
voted
against
the
proposal
and
bring
it
back,
that's
fine,
but
it
has
to
go
through
the
whole
approval
process
with
public
comment
again.
C
F
G
Wilson
I
work
in
Evanston
and
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
in
selling
real
estate
in
Evanston
over
the
last
38
years
have
been
in
the
rental
market.
Right
now,
in
the
inbred
listening
service,
the
lowest
rent
for
a
one
bedroom
is
1450.,
two
bedrooms
is
one
thousand
five
hundred
and
a
three
bedroom
is
one
thousand
eight.
Fifty
the
rents
at
this
development
at
church
in
Darrow
are
going
to
be.
One
bedroom
will
be
six
hundred
dollars,
two
bedrooms
will
be
eight
hundred
dollars
and
a
three
bedroom
will
be
a
thousand
dollars.
G
G
No
one
should
be
homeless
and
everyone
should
be
able
to
live
in
their
own,
affordable
apartment
in
Evanston,
but
this
development,
33,
more
households
from
the
young
families
starting
out
in
the
workforce
to
seniors
living
on
Social
Security,
should
be
able
to
live
in
Evanston
without
a
struggle
now
close
to
half
of
evanston's
residential.
More
than
30
percent
of
any
other
of
their
now
close
to
half
of
Evanston
residential
residents,
more
than
30
percent
other
than
their
income
and
those
with
the
lowest
income
are
struggling
the
most
to
meet
their
basic
necessities.
G
I
do
not
want
to
write,
wait
one
more
day,
one
more
month,
one
more
year
to
have
affordable
housing
in
Evanston.
For
my
attendant
clients,
the
time
is
now
to
say
yes
to
this.
Affordable
housing
development
at
church
in
Darrow
made
it
I'm
going
to
pass
that
out.
The
two
the
comparing
the
renters
today
and
what
church
and
Daryl
are
going
to
be
charging.
C
H
H
My
experience
comes
from
35
years
as
a
resident
of
Evanston
being
a
member
of
Lake
Street
Church
peace
and
Justice
committee,
innovates
actions,
advocacy
committee
and
joining
forces
I
urge
you
to
approve
the
postponed
subdivision
and
sale
of
property
for
the
hodc
project
on
Church
Street
and
to
proceed
with
this
development
immediately
as
volunteer
for
overnights
organized
by
Interfaith
action
and
observing
the
creation
of
Hilda's
place
at
Lake,
Street
Church
I
understand
the
importance
of
providing
safe
housing
for
those
with
limited
means.
Concerns
about
situations
in
rental.
H
Buildings
should
be
appropriately
addressed
by
the
city,
but
not
obstruct
a
project
that
provides
affordable
housing.
Every
delay
in
postponement
contributes
to
the
high
cost
of
building
a
building,
affordable
housing,
a
sport
joining
forces
for
Expediting
the
building
of
affordable
housing,
especially
for
one
without
housing
for
families.
C
I
I
Good
evening
mayor
this
council,
members
and
staff,
my
name
is
Jeffrey
bashore
I
live
at
318
Dempster
in
the
Third
Ward
and
across
the
street,
from
the
Claridge
at
319
Dempster.
My
comments
tonight
will
be
regarding
hodc
and
both
items
P3
and
P4,
but
first
with
the
new
Ward
boundary
lines.
In
effect,
I
would
like
to
welcome
council
member
Jonathan
newsma
to
the
Claridge
neighborhood
I,
look
forward
to
working
with
him
on
stopping
the
drug
dealing
on
Judson
Avenue
in
his
fourth
ward,
hodc
has
told
us.
I
The
removal
of
one
problem
tenant
will
improve
the
living
conditions
at
the
Claridge
that
problem
tenant
was
removed.
Today,
some
of
the
neighbors
have
doubts
that
living
conditions
will
improve.
For
example,
the
current
security
watch
at
the
Claridge
goes
on
duty
every
day
from
6
pm
to
2
A.M.
Yesterday
Sunday
July
9
at
2
pm
a
Judson
Avenue
neighbor
witnessed
a
drug
deal
in
the
alley
north
of
the
Claridge.
She
said
the
dealer
working
the
alley
was
new,
not
the
problem
tenants
on
January
7
2022.
I
We
had
a
zoom
meeting
with
Richard
Koenig
Claire
Kelly,
Melissa,
Nguyen,
Sarah,
flax,
Jill
Kelly
and
myself
to
discuss
the
problems
and
possible
solutions
to
improve
the
living
conditions
at
the
Claridge
Richard
said
he
was
aware
of
the
problems
and
he
was
working
to
solve
the
issues.
He
said
he
could
not
tell
us
what
he
was
doing,
but
things
would
be
getting
better
in
a
few
months.
Things
did
not
get
better.
I
How
is
it
that
hodc
can
operate
their
other
housing
facilities
and
not
have
the
problems
that
they
inflict
on
the
tenants
and
the
neighbors
of
the
Claridge
before
Emerson
makes
a
real
estate
gift
to
hodc
tonight,
I
urge
the
council
members
to
table
or
vote
no
on
agenda
items,
P3
P4
until
we
have
received
a
written
agreement
with
hodc
for
their
safety
improvements
necessary
at
the
Claridge.
Thank
you
for
listening.
C
J
Good
evening
black
lives
matter
way
is
an
honorary
street
name
for
Dodge
Avenue.
What
does
the
name
actually
mean?
Is
it
just
another
sign
on
the
parkway
I
was
at
a
meeting
and
a
white
resident
told
me
to
shut
up.
Apparently
I
was
asking
way
too
many
questions
at
a
public
meeting.
I
guess
he
was
telling
me
to
get
out
of
the
way,
because
I
didn't
agree
with
him.
J
C
F
Thanks
for
listening,
I'm
Katie,
Lott
I'm
in
favor
of
the
tree
ordinance
I
think
it's
way
overdue.
I'm
on
the
board
of
climate
action,
Evanston,
formerly
citizens,
Greener,
Evanston,
I'm,
a
steward
at
Lovelace,
Park
and
I'm,
a
co-lead
for
natural
habitat,
Evanston
I
read
some
of
the
negative
comments
about
the
tree.
F
Ordinance
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
don't
get
ahead
of
ourselves
and
that
we
actually
Implement
a
tree
ordinance
and
then
collect
data
on
the
effect
that
that
tree
ordinance
has
and
make
sure
that
it's
not
affecting
affordable
housing
or
putting
an
undue
burden
on
the
poor.
You
know
every
year,
Evanston
lose
is
about
600
trees
and
plants
about
400
trees,
and
this
200
tree
deficit
has
been
going
on
for
years
and
years.
F
We
have
to
do
everything
we
can
to
increase
the
tree
cap,
canopy,
specifically
focusing
on
redlined
areas
that
are
about
five
degrees,
Fahrenheit
hotter
than
areas
that
were
not
formally
redlined.
That
makes
planting
trees
an
environmental
justice
issue
as
well
as
something
that
will
help
with
climate
change,
because
it's
climate
change
exacerbates.
C
K
Hello
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
you
this
evening.
I'm
Jill,
kalian
and
I
would
like
to
respectfully
ask
the
council
to
postpone
transferring
the
church
and
Darrow
property
to
hodc
until
hodc
genuinely
and
formally
commits
to
making
meaningful
improvements
at
the
319
Dempster
property.
K
I
live
at
1246
Forest,
which
is
diagonally
across
the
street
from
319
dumpster.
My
husband
and
I
have
lived
there
for
25
years
and
I
think
that
the
time
that
we've
lived
in
our
home
relates
to
two
points.
First,
many
of
our
neighbors
with
concerns
about
the
management
at
319
Dempster
are
like
us,
they've
been
in
the
neighborhood
for
decades.
K
The
neighbors
are
not
people
who
do
not
want
to
live
in
community
with
subsidized
or
supported
housing.
We
are
people
who
have
lived
down
the
block
across
the
street
down
the
alley
from
this
housing
for
many
years.
Many
of
us
were
here
when
319
was
an
SRO
and
when
it
was
taken
over
by
hodc
and
when
hodc
began
renting
homes
to
or
renting
the
rooms
to
insecure
to
persons
who
are
housing
insecure.
This
is
not
about
neighbors
trying
to
oust
subsidized
housing
or
to
limit
low-income
housing
in
Evanston.
K
It's
about
neighbors,
caring
for
neighbors
and
when
I
say
caring.
What
I
mean
is
it's
that
we're
concerned
not
just
with
providing
people
an
address
or
a
little
roof
over
their
heads,
but
also
with
being
concerned
with
them
having
a
place
to
live
that
offers
a
basic
level
of
emotional
and
physical
safety,
a
place
that
affords
some
dignity
and
opportunity
for
the
tenants
and
a
chance
for
the
tenants
and
their
neighbors
to
have
a
peaceful
enjoyment
of
living
in
the
neighborhood.
K
C
L
Well,
I
seem
to
have
lost
my
scent
mail,
so
I'm
going
to
try
to
add
lib
I
sent
an
email
to
each
of
you
on
the
council
on
T,
mayor
BISS,
and
it's
in
regard
to
hs1
the
proposal
to
require
all
to
require
all
business
establishments
to
accept
cash
and
I've
been
in
the
parking
business
for
over
45
years.
L
All
the
facilities
we
own
are
cashless
and
they're
cashless.
For
a
good
reason.
Cash
in
a
business
creates
all
kinds
of
operating
obstacles.
L
It's
more
expensive,
much
more
expensive
these
days
to
handle
cash.
The
banks
don't
even
handle
cash.
The
banks
have
turned
over
cash
handling
to
armored
car
services
and
it
hand
you
know
having
cash
and
business
establishments
puts
both
employees
and
customers
at
risk
and
therefore
I
heartily
reject
the
proposal
that
business
establishments
go
cashless.
This
is
not
something
that
the
government
should
be
involved
in.
L
M
I'm
born
and
raised
here
in
Evanston
in
1952,
1816
Dodge
went
to
Foster
school
kindergarten
to
sixth
grade
went
to
Skiles,
seventh
and
8th
went
to
14
four
years
of
eths,
where
I
seem
to
be
pretty
productive
for
what
those
years
represented
so
after
graduating
and
on
two.
You
know
college
and
nightclubs
and
playing
and
entertaining
and
singing
I
thought
that
was
doing
something
constructive.
M
M
M
N
People
from
319
Denver
for
your
concerns
about
management.
Secondly,
I
want
to
commend
all
of
those
people
who've
made
comments,
but
are
not
stakeholders
in
this
argument.
So
my
first
request
is
that
you
don't
have
the
two-thirds
majority
vote,
which
is
required
to
pass
P3
and
P4
number
one.
This
is
not
affordable
housing.
This
is
more
Supportive
Housing
number
two:
it's
on
contaminated
land.
N
How
can
you
sit
there
and
disregard
the
safety
for
the
residents
of
Evanston
by
placing
a
unit
on
contaminated
soil
is
designated
sold
by
aepa
where's,
the
church's
feasibility
study
and
last,
but
not
all.
How
have
you
heard
any
of
you
about
a
land
trust
I?
Think
what
black
people
need
in
this
community
is
ownership,
not
rental.
This
does
not
answer
any
of
our
concerns
about
providing
housing
for
the
poor.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
That
concludes
a
list
of
people
who
signed
up
on
this
sheet
to
speak
ordinarily.
We
would
then
go
to
those
who
signed
up
online
to
speak
in
person.
I,
don't
know
any
way
to
sugarcoat
this
I'm
going
to
be
very
direct,
no
one's
ever
given
me
any
trophies
for
excellent
spreadsheet
utilization.
That
streak
continues
tonight.
I
could
have
sworn
there
were
folks
on
the
spreadsheet,
who
had
signed
up
online
to
speak
in
person,
but.
C
C
C
O
Most
of
my
work
has
involved
operating
housing
programs
for
homeless
individuals
and
families
across
Cook,
County
I
come
before
you
tonight
to
place
my
support
of
hodc
and
implore
city
council
to
approve
the
sale
of
land
and
Platt
of
subdivision
for
hodc
to
develop
33
housing
units
communities
Across
the
Nation
are
faced
with
a
crisis
of
scarcity
with
affordable
housing
units.
Evanston
is
no
different.
We
all
know
there
are
insufficient
housing
units
for
the
current
makeup
of
the
Evanston
Community.
O
We
are
in
the
midst
of
a
growing
housing
crisis
and
without
an
expeditious
process
to
develop
affordable
housing.
We
are
perpetuating
unsheltered
homelessness.
We
must
act
now.
Please
do
not
continue
to
delay
this
process,
as
doing
so
will
only
prolong
the
opportunity
of
housing
for
those
who
need
affordable
housing.
Solutions.
O
Remember
seeing
your
four
affordable
housing,
but
is
actually
in
action
which
perpetuates
the
disenfranchisement,
shame
and
discrimination
of
our
neighbors
just
because
our
neighbors,
maybe
or
are
homeless
living
in
poverty
living
with
mental
illness,
disabilities
or
addiction
does
not
mean
that
they
are
less
deserving
of
living
in
our
neighborhoods.
Be
the
council
that
stops
the
disenfranchisement
and
be
the
leaders
demonstrating
to
other
communities
that
the
vulnerable,
unwelcome
neighbors.
Thank
you.

We
see
them
in
our
soup
kitchens
and
in
line
at
the
produce
mobile.
The
Mount
Pisgah
subdivision
is
a
solid
step
toward
offering
its
residents
the
opportunity
who
lived
housed
and
in
dignity.
While
we
share
concerns
about
responsible,
Property
Management,
we
believe
these
issues
are
best
addressed
separately.
We
urge
the
city
council
to
approve
resolution,
22R,
23
and
ordinance
51023
tonight
tonight,
please
no
more
delays.
C
Q
Thank
you
very
much.
An
APW
I
raised
questions
about
items
A6
and
A7
for
item
A6.
Q
The
conversation
was
cut,
was
cut
short
on
both
items
because,
under
pressure
of
time,
everything
had
to
be
cut
short,
but
staff
didn't
answer:
Alvin,
I'm,
sorry,
council,
member
Kelly's
question
at
APW
I
believe
she
asked
for
staff,
not
the
consultant,
but
staff
to
state
which
hdra
project
is
an
example
of
what
Evanston
is
asking
for
not
a
similar
project,
not
a
similar
kind
of
project,
but
a
comprehensive
plan
and
zoning
ordinance
projects
similar
to
what
Evanston
is
asking
for
that
firm
hdra
was
one
point,
scored
one
point
higher
in
the
zoning
in
the
rankings
on
page
48
of
the
packet,
whereas
Tesco
the
competitor
who's,
fifty
thousand
dollars
less
scored
higher
in
qualifications,
project
approach
and
their
price,
because
they're
lower
they
tied
in
the
organizational
skills,
a
proposal,
their
willingness
to
execute
the
agreement.
Q
Mwebe
was
a
tie.
It
was
the
subjective
category
where,
for
some
reason
and
I
think
I
want
to
touch
on
it.
Apparently
they
use
the
term
data
visualization,
which
is
kind
of
the
new
trendy
term,
where
it
used
to
be
people
were
Innovative
a
couple
years
ago,
and
some
one
of
the
staff
members
said.
Well,
we
selected
a
firm
that
was
more
Innovative
because
they
said
they
were
more.
Q
C
R
Last
week
my
firm
filed
a
lawsuit
against
the
City
of
Evanston
and
multiple
other
parties
to
the
proposed
land
sale
and
swap
we
ask
that
the
city
council
vote
no
on
agenda
items
P3
and
P4,
given
the
pending
litigation
and
all
of
the
reasons
raised
by
my
client
throughout
the
public
proceedings
in
the
alternative,
we
asked
that
P3
and
P4
be
tabled
until
the
litigation
is
resolved.
Thank
you.
C
S
All
right,
thank
you,
so
much
I'm
here
to
speak
about
the
office
selection
for
the
comprehensive
plan.
Firm,
I,
don't
know
anyone
at
tesca
personally,
but
I
was
really
surprised
that
they
had
not
been
selected.
They've
done,
they're
familiar
with
the
communities
right
around
here.
They
don't
they've
worked
with
Winnetka
and
I
believe
other
communities
and
planning
and
their
portfolio
is
excellent
and
they
know
Evanston
and
I.
Just
wish.
You
would
reconsider
that
as
a
choice.
S
I
looked
at
the
websites
of
all
the
people
who
were
out
there
and
I
understand
that
they
were
all
kind
of
more
or
less
equal
tests
on
the
HDR
when
they
went
in
and
then
it
came
out,
it
was
one
point
difference
and
I'd
really
love
to
know
what
sick
we're
emulating
when
we
make
a
decision
to
go
with
not
a
non-evenston-based
firm,
like
I,
said
I
know,
tesca
has
done
so
much
work
and
good
work
with
many
different
areas
of
our
city
and
our
comprehensive
plan
is
our
most.
It's
our
most
important
document.
S
T
U
Even
a
dead
body
that
was
allowed
to
sit
for
three
weeks
in
spite
of
his
report
of
the
of
the
smell
conditions,
are
poor
enough
that
Craig
prefers
to
remove
from
the
building
at
night.
For
his
peace
of
mind,
I've
heard
that
the
hod
Crest
hodc
president
has
allowed
alleged
that
Craig
is
nothing
but
a
tool
of
the
older
person
Claire
Kelly.
U
V
Good
good
I'm,
Sue,
loback
I
work
at
connections
for
the
homeless
and
head
up
a
coalition
called
joining
forces
for
affordable
housing.
We
are
very
happy
to
see
the
city
council
treating
affordable
housing
as
a
priority,
both
with
the
zoning
code
changes
being
introduced
in
P2,
which
will
streamline
certain
processes
and
with
the
hoped
for
full
approval
tonight
of
P2
and
P3
the
sale
of
land
and
plan
of
subdivision
for
the
hogc
development.
We
urge
immediate
approval
of
the
ahodc
transactions
so
that
this
development
can
move
forward
as
soon
as
possible.
V
The
needs
at
the
Dempster
building
are
a
separate
issue
from
the
creation
of
new
affordable
units.
We
ask
that
the
Dempster
building
not
be
allowed
to
block
progress
on
the
new
building,
but
that
it
be
dealt
with
separately
and
systematically.
The
dumpster
building
is
not
the
only
building
that
receives
serious
complaints.
The
city
will
have
minimal
positive
impact
if
they
jeopardize
the
creation
of
33
new
units
of
affordable
housing.
Instead
of
approving
them
and
coming
up
with
system-wide
regulations
to
give
the
city
The
Leverage
it
needs
around
complaints.
V
C
Seeing
not
that
concludes
public
comment
for
this
evening
and
we
move
now
to
the
consent
agenda.
There
are
two
items
that
I'm
removing
from
the
consent.
Agenda
One
is
P1,
which
was
held
in
committee
and
will
not
be
eligible
for
a
vote
this
evening.
The
other
is
P2,
which
is,
it
was
amended
in
committee
and,
as
is
our
practice,
I
would
like
to
have
it
removed
from
the
consent
agenda
simply
for
the
purposes
of
transparency,
so
that
the
amendment
can
be
described
at
least.
Are
there
other
items?
Besides
items
P1
and
P2?
C
C
W
Item
a12.
C
C
W
C
I
C
C
C
X
C
T
W
W
In
fact,
when
you
look
at
the
list
of
Controlled
Substances,
alcohol
is
typically
at
the
top
of
the
list
when
you
factor
in
the
the
harm
to
oneself
and
the
harm
to
others
in
combination,
and
so
as
we're
moving
forward
with
allowing
this
I
am
going
to
support
this,
but
I
think
we
need
to
keep
that
in
mind
as
we
consider
the
way
we
deal
with
a
number
of
controlled
substances,
and
we
understand
that
by
regulating
alcohol
creating
spaces,
you
know
that
are
safe
for
consumption.
W
We
are
potentially
doing
more
good
than
by
leaving
alcohol
in
an
unregulated
state
where
we
don't
have
safe
spaces
for
consumption
and
I.
Think
we
need
to
think
about
this
across
the
board,
and
particularly,
you
know,
folks
who
read
the
round
table.
They
were
a
number
of
Articles
recently
about
Fentanyl
and,
of
course
no
one's
well.
Actually
fentanyl
is
legal
in
certain
when
prescribed,
but
no
one's
pushing
to
you
know
completely
legalize
fentanyl,
but
there
are
regulations
that
we
put
in
place
to
ensure
that
use
is
safe
and
I.
W
Think
we
need
to
think
about
that,
as
we
have
done
with
alcohol
with
a
number
of
controlled
substances,
and
hopefully
we
can
make
our
community
safer
by
doing
that.
But
I
I
will
note
that.
There's
no
one
here
at
public
comments,
saying
that
by
adding
more
drinking
locations,
we're
going
to
have
more
accidents
in
our
community
or
that
you
know
more
life
or
limb
will
be
at
risk,
which
in
reality
is
is
a
truth,
a
true
risk.
So
thank
you.
B
C
Right
with
eight
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
the
motion
carries
and
ordinance
63-0-23
is
passed
for
introduction.
It
will
be
back
on
the
agenda
in
two
weeks
for
action.
This
brings
us
now
to
the
planning
and
development
section
of
the
agenda.
We
skip
over
item
P1,
which
was
held
in
committee,
and
we
move
now
to
item
P2,
which
was
amended
in
committee
council
member
newsman.
Would
you
care
to
make
a
motion
here?
Mr.
C
Council
member
news
passage
of
ordinances,
68-0-23
and
69-0-23
as
amended
councilmember
Harris
seconds
councilmember
Reid
just
ask
since
you
made
the
amendment
and
you'll
be
speaking
first.
If
you
could
include
an
explanation
in
your
comments,
please
and.
X
C
X
C
W
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
mayor.
So,
yes,
the
amendment
was
to
set
the
radius
for
a
Transit
Orient
oriented
Development
Area
to
a
half
mile
radius
around
a
train
station,
and
so
that
would
be
the
new
definition
for
transitorian
development.
W
Transit,
oriented
development
areas
and
and
I
want
to
note
that
it
was
shared
with
me
that
Chicago
previously
had
an
ordinance,
whereas
a
half
mile,
and
my
understanding
is
that
they
have
expanded
that
to
a
mile
radius
and
they
have
also
included
bus
stops
as
a
part
of
that
I'm
not
proposing
that
necessarily
now,
because
I
I
would
be
supported
if
there's
support
up
here
for
it,
I
will
pass
it
now,
but.
W
You
shouldn't
have
given
it
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
make
an
attempt
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
add
in
bus
stops,
but
we'll
save
that
we'll
look
into
that
over
the
next
few
weeks,
but
certainly
I
think
this
is
a
a
great
first
step,
which
is
increasing
this
to
a
half
mile
radius
around
train
stations.
This
will
help
potentially
over.
You
know
the
course
of
this
ordinance
ad,
who
knows
hundreds
of
new,
affordable
housing
units
near
train
stations
and
will
help
us
achieve
our
affordable
housing
goals.
I
A
C
With
eight
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against
ordinances,
63
and
69-0-23,
as
amended
and
committee,
are
passed
for
introduction
and
we'll
be
back
on
our
agenda
for
Action
in
two
weeks.
This
brings
us
to
item
P3
council
member
Newton
care
to
make
a
motion
on
item
P3.
X
X
C
It
before
the
vote,
that's
your
ball
within
your
rights
to
make
a
substitute
motion
at
this
time.
Councilmember
nusma
moves
approval
of
resolution,
22-r-23
and
I.
Believe
council
member
Harris
was
the
first
to
second
it
council,
member
Burns.
Y
Yeah
I
just
really
wanted
to
hear
from
you
know,
councilmember,
when
I
supported
a
hold
at
the
last
meeting
out
of
respect
for
councilmember,
Wayne's
absent
absence,
and
so
you
know
we
had
some
some
discussions.
Offline,
I'd,
love
to
know
just
where
we
are
I
think
bottom
line,
obviously
is
is
the
security
that
can
be
provided
at
Claridge
for
the
next
and
that's
where
you
pick
pick
up
from
there.
So.
Y
AA
AA
We
agree
that
we've
been
working
on
trying
to
improve
the
situation
at
319
Dempster
we've
been
working
hard
to
try
and
improve
Kenneth's
lives
that
are
there
and
do
agree
that
we
could
extend
the
security
that's
on
site
for
that
property
for
the
next
for
the
next
four
months
or
a
total
of
of
six
months
to
provide
that
additional
Security
on
site.
AA
X
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
item.
P3
is
just
a
property
subdivision.
It's
separate,
perhaps
discussion
for
item
P4.
AB
AB
C
We
can
well
I,
guess
I
would
say
we
I
I,
can't
I
can't
sign
an
ordinance
in
the
middle
of
a
council
meeting,
so
one
way
or
the
other,
the
vote
on
P3
would
occur
before
P4
is
enacted
into
law.
So
I
don't
know
that
the
order
that
we
act
tonight
matters-
or
you
certainly
have
my
commitment-
that
I
won't
sign
the
one
until
the
other
is
passed
as
well.
But
if
you
folks
are
more
comfortable
switching
the
order,
that's
fine,
too.
Y
AC
C
AC
Okay,
if
continue
right,
so
what
the
neighbors,
what
the
tenants,
what
we've
requested
and
what
hodc
has
finally
come
forward
with
at
the
11th
hour,
is
far
short
of
what
we've
requested
we've
requested
in
order
to
break
the
trend.
AC
The
setting
the
situation
where
tenants
and
neighbors
live
both
in
an
unsafe
setting
and
in
fear
frequently
that
there
be
Round
the
Clock
security
we
asked
for
three
months.
We
asked
for
ongoing
security
after
that
with
or
supervision
with,
some
sort
of
metrics
where,
whereby
the
tenants,
as
well
as
the
neighbors,
are
surveyed
to
demonstrate
the
Improvement
that
the
property
has
improved
and
I
want
to
be
really
crystal
clear
on
this.
This
is
not
about
affordable
housing
or
not.
AC
We
all
support
affordable
housing
absolutely,
but
we
also
have
to
care
about
the
very
residents
the
existing,
low-income
residents
in
this
city.
We
have
to
care
about
their
safety
and
their
well-being,
and
that
has
to
be
first
and
foremost
in
our
minds
and
we
vote
on
this.
We
have
to
decide.
Are
we
going
to
take
this
opportunity
to
ensure
that
that
building
that
entity
that's
been
run
so
poorly
for
so
long?
We
have
an
opportunity
now
to
leverage
some
pressure
to
say.
No,
you
need
to
take
this
further.
AC
Even
the
eight
hours
has
helped
maybe
a
little
bit,
but
it
hasn't
resolved
the
issues
I
think
you've
heard
from
residents
this
evening.
So
no
it's
not
enough.
What
hod
has
come
forward
now
suddenly
with
saying
you
know,
and
also
by
the
way
the
city's
gonna
The
Proposal
includes
the
city
paying
also
for
part
of
that
to
continue
paying
through
through
for
eight
hours
a
day
until
Thanksgiving.
So
no,
this
is
not
enough.
It
is
up
to
us.
AC
It
is
incumbent
on
us
to
be
due
to
exercise
due
diligence
to
do
whatever
we
can
to
ensure
a
safer
environment
at
319
and
for
the
surrounding
neighbors.
So
I
cannot
support
this
I'd
like
to
move
to
have
this
tabled
until
August,
18th
I
believe
I
know
that
we
can
do
better
with
hodc
I
know,
hodc
can
come
through
with
a
stronger
with
stronger
measures
such
as
those
that
we
have
requested
that
we
requested
over
a
week
ago.
AC
We
need
to
break
the
trends
that
have
been
going
on
there
with
drug
dealing
and
everything
else
that
you've
heard
about
and
what
that
is
being
offered
right
now.
It
falls
way
short,
so
I'd
like
to
move
to
have
this
tabled
until
our
August
28th
meeting
this
is
this
started
under
the
last
Council
term.
This
has
been
going
on
for
years.
We
can
use
this
opportunity
to
make
improvements
at
319
Dempster.
We
owe
this
to
those
tenants
in
that
building
more
than
to
anybody
else.
AC
These
are
low-income
residents
who
live
and
fear
most
of
them
in
that
building.
This
is
our
opportunity
to
show
that
we
stand
by
the
People
by
those
low-income
people,
not
just
by
more
affordable
units
without
actually
caring
about
those
human
beings.
This
is
our
moment.
I.
Ask
that
we
table
this
until
the
August
28th
council
meeting.
AC
Thank
you,
that's
I,
think.
That's
all
I
have
to
say
I'm
disappointed
that
that
my
fellow
council
members
don't
want
to
take
a
nap,
take
this
opportunity
to
ensure
that
we
use
this
moment
to
really
we
the
eight
hours
a
day
is
simply
not
doing
the
trick,
and
that's
why
residents
and
tenants,
and
myself
and
councilmember
Wynn
wrote
to
Richard
Koenig
and
chairman
scholten
to
insist
on
round-the-clock
security.
AC
T
C
I
C
AC
Again,
I'm
going
to
ask
that
this
be
table
until
our
August
28th
meet,
improve
the
conditions
at
319
Dempster
for
the
tenants
and
for
The
Neighbors
what's
been
offered
is
not
going
to
make
a
huge
difference
and
we're
going
to
continue.
This
has
been
going
on
for
too
many
years,
I'd
like
to
move
that
this
be
tabled
until
the
August
meeting.
C
X
Think
if
this
is
just
a
point
of
order,
this
ordinance
pertains
to
the
sale
of
property
so
requires
a
six
vote
majority.
Like
that's
a
question.
Yes,.
C
C
So
five,
five
yeses
and
three
abstentions
would
be
a
failure
right.
X
And
if
we
don't
have
six
votes
tonight,
we
take
about
this
motion
would
fail,
the
ordinance
would
fail
and
it
would
die.
AB
I
would
love
more
time
to
research,
Robert's
rules
on
what
happens
when
you
actually
have
a
two-thirds
vote
requirement.
You
only
get
five,
but
nevertheless,
I
would
agree
with
the
mayor
that
it
does.
Since
the
motion
does
not
carry
according
to
city
council
rules
that
it
would
in
fact
fail
and
die.
X
Yeah
and
I
I'm,
looking
forward
to
passing
this
I,
will
vote
in
favor
of
it
tonight,
I'm
concerned,
though,
if
we
don't
have
six
votes
on
the
dice
that
voting
tonight
would
be
counterproductive,
so
I'm
not
sure
where
to
go
with
that,
not
knowing
how
else
everyone
else's
table
I'd
like
to
do
it
tonight.
If
we
got
the
six
votes.
AC
I,
don't
think,
do
I
have
my
light
on.
Oh
I
was
going
to
say
to
council
member
nuzma
that
we
could
table
this
or,
if
you
want
to
table
it
to
our
next
July.
Meeting.
I'm
willing
to
amend
to
you
know,
move
a
tabling
of
this
for
two
weeks
in
a
very
serious
effort
to
gain
more
safety
measures
for
the
residents
at
319,
Dempster.
AC
AD
AB
AB
S
W
Will
move
item
hs1,
ordinance,
2023
amending
the
city
code,
creating
title
12
consumer
protections,
chapter
1,
cashless
establishments
prohibited
second.
C
W
You
so
this
was
discussed
here
at
this
body
a
while
ago.
In
fact,
the
reason
is
for
Action
today
is
because
we
I
believe
voted
initially
unanimously
to
move
it
forward,
and
then
it
was
tabled
and
I
think
that
the
act
of
tabling
Luke
can
you
help
me
share
this
around
what
I
just
sent
yeah.
Thank
you
and
what
I?
My
apologies,
I'm,
getting
back
to
my
notes
here
and
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
that
we've
had
to
Workshop
this
more
so
to
walk
through
the
steps.
As
I
said
it
appeared
here.
W
This
went
to
the
economic
development
committee.
It
went
to
the
equity
and
empowerment
commission.
W
W
Think
a
lot
of
that
feedback
is
incorporated
here
or
very
shortly,
will
be
incorporated
here,
and
so,
for
example,
you
know
if
you
look
at
the
additional
information
from
the
economic
development
committee,
you
see
that
you
know
there
are
a
number
of
states
and
municipalities
who
have
implemented
this
you'll
see
that
the
ban
typically
applies
to
retail
restaurant
and
service
businesses
and
Massachusetts
has
a
Statewide
Bank
ban
on
cashless
businesses.
W
You
see
that
typical
exemptions
include
denominations
over
twenty
dollars
over
twenty
dollars
and
exceptions
for
reservations,
deposits
and
mobile
app
purchases.
Certainly
that
is
included
in
this
ordinance.
W
W
There's
an
allowance
for
reverse,
ATMs
and
and
other
municipalities
have
done
other
things
that
are
really
important.
I
think
it's
also
important
to
note
some
of
the
determinations
by
the
equity
and
empowerment
commission,
who
made
a
number
of
notes
about
the
importance
of
this
and
and
why
we
need,
as
a
council,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
looking
out
for
the
four
Pro
five
percent
and
nationally.
We
know
that
number
4.5
percent
of
residents
in
the
United
States
are
unbanked.
W
We
know
that
that
there's
a
large
disparity
between
folks
who
are
unbanked
and
and
Caucasian
and
folks
who
are
unbanked
and
people
of
color.
We
see
that
number
jump
quite
a
bit
when
we
look
at
the
black
community
and
the
Hispanic
Community,
and
we
see
that
number
jump
when
we
look
at
Young
Folks,
so
I
think
this
committee,
this
Council,
when
we
voted
on
this
initially
unanimously
understood
that
there
was
a
need
to
do
this.
W
The
equity
empowerment
commission
understood
that
there
was
a
need
to
do
this
I
think
even
the
economic
development
committee
understands
that
there's
a
need
to
do
something
here
and
so
I
have
sent
forward
a
few
amendments
to
this.
That
I
think
will
help
folks
help
this
help
folks
get
to
yes
right.
That's,
and
so
one
is
alluring
of
the
fine.
W
The
fine
amount
was
taken
from
other
ordinances
and
I
think
the
fine
may
have
been
excessive
and
so
I've
put
forward
a
an
amendment
that
will
lower
that
fine
to
a
hundred
dollars,
it'll
lower
it
quite
a
bit
from
a
thousand
dollars
to
a
hundred
dollars
for
the
first
offense
and
then
from
one
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
for
each
subsequent
offense
to
only
a
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
for
each
subsequent
offense.
W
That
is
an
extremely
low
fine,
but
I
think
that
can
help
make
this
more
palatable
for
folks,
we've
also
available
forward
amendment
that
would
change
the
definition
right.
What
what
was
universally
agreed
upon
is
that
the
most
important
industries
are
industries
that
you
know,
grocery
stores
grocery
stores
were
critical
to
this,
while
the
grocery
stores
that
exist
now
in
Evanston,
almost
exclu
entirely
accept
cash.
W
There
are
a
number
of
business
models
that
are
coming
down,
that
you
know
from
Amazon
go
and
others
that
do
not
accept
cash,
and
quite
often
in
New
York.
In
places
that
have
these
cashless
bands
in
place,
they
follow
the
ordinance
which
is
creating
an
alternative
through
these
reverse
ATMs.
W
Okay,
well,
I
will
wrap
up
here
and
then
I'll
make
the
amendment.
This
also
would
for
businesses
that
are
24
hours,
such
as
a
7-Eleven
or
other
business
that
chooses
not
to
accept
cash.
They
would
be
able
to
not
accept
cash
between
if
they
accept
a
cash
during
the
day,
but
they
would
be
able
to
not
accept
cash
between
10
pm
and
6
a.m
and
still
not
have
to
purchase
one
of
those
reverse
ATMs,
as
long
as
they
accepted
cash
during
the
day,
and
so
those
are
the
amendments.
C
Council
member
Reed
moves
to
amend
ordinance
2-0-23
as
described
verbally,
but
also
there's
a
document.
That's
just
been
emailed
to
us
that
just
helped
me
here
as
a
consumer
of
this
document,
but
also
someone
guiding.
W
It
would
replace
the
retail
stab
or
the
food
store
definition
with
a
grocery
store
definition.
It
would
replace
the
retail
establishment
definition
with
the
pharmaceutical
establishment.
C
Others,
okay,
I,
understand
right,
I,
I
now
think
I
understand
what's
going
on
here
and
sorry.
Just
because,
maybe
you
know
in
the
spirit
of
there
are
no
dumb
questions,
because
if
one
person
has
a
question,
others
maybe
do
too
the
difference
between
the
packet
definition
of
food
store
and
the
amendment
definition
of
grocery
store
is
the
and
personal
care
items
so
that
you
don't.
This
doesn't
apply
to
you
unless
you
do
affirmatively
sell
Personal,
Care.
W
C
The
hypothetical
okay,
so
council
member
Reed,
moves
to
amend
ordinance
2-0-23,
as
laid
out
in
the
document
that's
been
distributed.
Is
there
a
second
to
that
motion.
AD
So
when
we
visited
Colorado,
we
went
on
a
Town
gown
and
they
actually
at
the
airport,
had
the
machines
that
you
could
use
to
make
cash
in
the
credit
and
I
want
us
to
further
look
into
that.
I've
been
second
ward.
Businesses
have
been
reaching
out
to
me.
AD
I
agree
with
the
intent
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
I
wholeheartedly
agree
with
it,
but
I
think
there
can
be
other
remedies
to
the
problem
that
we're
trying
to
solve
without
and
disenfranchising
everyone
at
some
point
in
some
Junction,
so
I
did
bring
that
information
back
and
I
we'll
share
that
with
the
city
manager
once
I
relocate
it,
but
there
was
information
on
how
to
do
that
and
who's
responsible
for
those
machines
is
that
City
paying
for
that
is
that
businesses
is
that
a
joint
venture
I
think
there's
some
opportunities
to
look
at
it.
AC
Thank
you
yes,
I
agree,
absolutely
must
address
the
discriminatory
impact
of
those
who
are
unbanked
not
being
able
to
purchase
I.
Don't
think
this
is
not
the
way
to
do
it.
AC
However,
I
think
we're
finding
that
there
are
issues
both
in
New,
Jersey
and
New
York,
where
they've
done
this
we're
now
advancing
to
places
where,
as
council
member
Harris
stated,
the
cash
to
card
opportunities
are
becoming
much
more
prevalent
right
now
and
I
think
we
absolutely
I
started
to
look
into
this
with
one
company
I
think
it's
I
can't
remember
the
name
of
right
now,
but
they
even
suggested
that
they
would
be
interested
in
looking
at
reduced
fees
for
cities
in
the
name
of
equity,
to
be
able
to
provide
these
cash
to
card
kiosks
where
there
would
be
no
fees
for
you
know,
charged
to
the
users.
AC
Of
course
the
city
would
pay
for
these
to
have
a
few
of
these,
but
they,
you
know
said
they
would
consider
looking
and
reduce,
reduce
costs
for
these.
So
I'd
like
us
to
look
at
that,
there's
also
like
local
currency.
There's
many
other
ways
to
go
about
this.
That
won't
inflict
sort
of
the
harm
we're
also
hearing
about
from
some
of
our
small
businesses.
AC
So,
yes,
I
agree.
We
must
do
something
about
it.
I
don't
think
this
is
that
something,
however,
and
I
think
with
a
little
more
research
we
can.
We
can
find
a
more
appropriate
way
of
addressing
this
important
discriminatory
impact
that
I
agree
that
we
should
address.
Thank
you.
C
W
The
comments
yes
I,
I
I,
hear
those
concerns
that
folks,
everyone
up
here
is
acknowledging
that
there
is
a
problem,
but
you
know
the
the
solution
alone
is
not
just
providing
a
few
kiosks
that
the
city
pays,
for
there
are
people
who
are.
W
We
need
a
solution
immediately
and
we
need
a
solution
that
does
that
that
that
ensures
that
folks
have
access
across
the
board,
whether
they
want
to
use
or
are
able
to
use
debit
cards
or
not,
and
I
I
would
ask
us,
particularly
with
the
Amendments
that
I
put
forward,
that
did
not
Garner
a
second.
What
businesses
are
folks
saying
would
be
impacted
by
this
negatively
in
your
awards
that
are
complaining
to
you.
So
I
mean
if
we're
talking
about
grocery
stores
and
pharmacies,
ensuring
that
they
accept
cash
between
the
hours
during
the
day.
W
I,
don't
think
that's
a
huge
burden,
particularly
as
we're
seeing
more
cashless,
even
grocery
stores
proliferate.
We
do
not
have
an
Amazon
go
here
yet,
but
by
having
this
in
place,
we
can
ensure
that
if
these
large
new
models
come
to
our
town,
that
there'd
be
an
ordinance
in
place
that
protects
consumers.
There
are
folks
who
choose
to
go
unbank,
they're
folks
who
do
not
have
access
to
banking
for
a
host
of
reasons.
W
W
Will
with
that
I
would
ask
that
either
we
you
know
we
we
table
this
a
bit
further
out
to
allow
for
that
actual
discussion
about
getting
these
cashless
machines
and
if
we,
for
some
reason
determine
that
the
city
cannot
get
the
cash
cash
list
machines
at
an
adequate
level
to
provide
them
in
the
community,
then
we
need
to
revisit
this,
but
I
would
ask
that
we
table
this
until
after
our
budget
season,
so
until
our
first
meeting
in
January,
the
second.
C
Councilmember
Reed
moves
to
this
item
B
table
to
the
first
meeting
in
January
2024,
a
very
high
number
council
member
Harris
seconds.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
motion
table
seeing
none
with
the
clerk?
Please
take
the
role
on
the
motion
to
table
this
for
half
a
year,
councilman.
W
C
Five
voting
in
favor
and
three
voting
against
the
motion
carries,
and
this
item
will
appear
on
the
first
city
council
agenda
of
2024..
AC
AD
AD
You
I
just
want
to
send
out
some
congratulatory
statements,
so
Saturday
was
the
recycle
event
at
eths,
as
city
manager
said,
and
they
did
a
great
job.
I
was
very
impressed
and
Kevin
Johnson's
name
kept
coming
up.
He
was
here
earlier
and
I
wanted
to
send
a
shout
out
to
him
and
William
Reed
class
of
87..
AD
My
class,
of
course,
I
also
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
the
Public's
Works
team.
One
of
my
residents
had
a
dangerous
tree
and
they
were
headed
home
for
the
evening
and
came
back
on
Fowler
last
week,
SEC
a
third
we're
going
Bagless
and
I
worked
with
my
commissioner,
our
commissioner
Josina
Marita
and
she's.
Given
me
120
bags
I
can
possibly
get
more
most
people
left
for
the
day.
These
are
insulated,
so
I
did
bring
bags,
as
I
mentioned
at
my
second
ward
meeting
for
everybody
here.
AD
Z
Yes,
Third
Ward
office
hours
are
this
Thursday
from
7
30.
to
9
30
at
Brothers
k
at
Hinman
in
Maine?
Thank
you,
council.
T
X
Nusma,
thank
you.
Mr
Mayor
I
want
to
start
off
by
addressing
Mr
Boucher,
who
made
the
point
in
public
comment
that
redistricting
is
now
in
place
and
just
want
to
clarify
that
the
new
Ward
boundaries
do
not
take
effect
until
the
next
election
foreign.
X
So
we
are
and
will
remain
in
our
current
Wards,
with
the
current
Ward
boundaries
until
April
of
2025.,
and
there
is
no
guarantee
I
will
be
on
the
council
in
May
of
2025..
So
if
I
should
happen
to
decide
to
run
again
and
it
should
happen
to
get
elected,
thank
you
in
advance
for
your
welcome.
But
it
is
premature
at
this
point.
X
I
want
to
just
do
a
shout
out
to
staff
Mike
Rivera,
a
very
minor
kind
of
issue,
but
Mike
Rivera
came
up
with
a
brilliant
solution
to
a
problem
involving
a
parking
space
and
relocating
some
mailboxes
on
Davis
Street.
We
don't
publicly
praise
staff
enough
for
doing
that
kind
of
thing
on
a
regular
basis.
So
without
going
into
into
more
detail,
thank
you
staff
and
then
number
three
Fourth
Ward
meeting
tomorrow
at
seven
o'clock.
Y
Just
wanted
to
take
the
time
to
thank
council
member
Nguyen
for
in
the
spirit
of
what
councilman
Reed
always
says,
finding
a
way
to
get
to
yes
on
P4
and
P3
I
appreciate
it.
Another
Community
does
as
well.
I
also
want
to
acknowledged
people
that
came
out
to
discuss
the
hodc
proposal
on
all
sides,
including
the
residents
at
Claridge,
who
expressed
their
concerns
throughout
the
process.
I
want
to
reiterate
this
because
it's
really
important
to
me,
because
I
consider
myself,
responsive
and.
I
Y
Very
engaged
in
Evanston
I
grew
up
here.
I
care
about
this
town.
You
know
I
went
to
declares
Apartments
toured
it
with
Richard
Koenig
I
made
an
amendment
based
on
concerns
that
councilman
Kelly
expressed
to
require
them
to
enter
into
an
improvement
plan
and
and
on
and
on
so
I
just
I
want
people
to
I
want
to
reiterate
that
I
do
care,
I,
listen,
I,
love
this
town,
I
grew
up
here
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
is
lives
in
a
place.
That
is
welcoming.
Y
That's
not
disruptive,
that's
incredibly
important
to
me
and
I.
Think
anybody
in
the
Fifth
Ward
that
has
reached
out
to
me
about
similar
concerns
would
agree
that
that
I
have
taken
them
seriously
and
I
and
I
will
continue
to.
We
will
have
other
opportunities
to
check
in
about
hodc
they're,
not
going
anywhere
their
non-profit.
That
owns
and
manages
several
properties,
not
even
not
just
in
the
Fifth
Ward
but
across
the
city,
and
so
we'll
have
check-in
points
to
make
sure
that
things
are
going
as
as
they
should
at
Claridge
apartments
and
feel
free,
even
Beyond.
Y
This
vote
to
continue
to
use
me
as
a
resource
not
going
anywhere
I
also
want
to
thank
City
staff
and
everyone
else
that
has
really
worked
to
move,
that
forward
on
the
17th
of
this
month,
we're
starting
a
kicking
off
a
youth
shoemaking
Workshop.
This
is
something
that
I
partnered
with
our
Parks
and
Rec
Department,
to
do
as
well
as
digital.
Y
Youth
Network,
which
is
a
initiative
in
Evanston,
held
by
Nicole
Pinker,
the
Northwestern
we
are.
We
have
selected
10
high
school
students
from
Everson
Township,
High
School
that
are
going
to
participate
in
a
program
that
teaches
them
traditional
shoe,
making
techniques,
they'll
customize
a
pair
of
Air,
Force,
Ones
and
and
then
they'll
come
up
with
their
own
shoe
collection
over
the
next
few
months
this
this
summer,
and
then
all
of
that
will
culminate
with
a
showcase
that
we're
going
to
invite
everyone
up
here
to
attend,
as
well
as
their
family
and
friends.
Y
So
I
appreciate
everyone
that
has
supported
that
project
and
we're
excited
about
launching
that
on
the
17th
and
and
then
for
anybody
that
lives
in
the
Hill.
Arts
District
either
lives
or
has
a
business
in
the
Hill
Arts
area,
which
is
a
community
near
neighborhood
near
double
clutch
solar

Jennifer

Etc.
Y
We
are
having
a
a
virtual
Hill

we're
going

discuss

congestion
issues

AE
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
just
want
to
let
everyone
know
that
the
recording
of
my
January
27
June
27th
meeting
here
at
the
Civic
Center
about
with
some
participants
from
Northwestern
presenting
information
and
responding
to
some
I
thought
some
tough
questions
from
my
residents.
That
recording
is
on
the
website
a
city's
website.
All
the
all
the
documents
from
Northwestern
related
to
the
proposed
Stadium
project
and
the
zoning
Amendment
are
on
the
proposed
projects
webpage.
AE
There
is
a
lot
there
on.
Northwestern
has
now
submitted
its
third
batch
of
documents.
So
there's
there's
a
lot
to
read
there
and
in
the
spirit
of
praising
our
staff,
I,
just
like
to
give
a
shout
out
to
our
community
development
staff,
who
have
had
to
digest
all
that
information,
get
it
posted
on
the
website
and
respond
to
lots
of
questions
from
residents
so
they're
doing
a
great
job.
W
We
will
be
having
our
next
eighth
Ward
award
meeting
this
on
the
last
Thursday
of
the
month,
which
is
the
27th
at
6
PM.
We
will
be
back
at
the
levy.
Senior,
Center
and
guests
have
not
been
determined
yet,
but
we'll
have
some
interesting
folks
and
invite
you
out
and
I
want
to
thank
Allison,
lepsinger
and
Nick
Cummings
or
Council
Cummings,
as
well
as
Cara
Pratt
and
the
team
for
attending
our
last
meeting.
We
had
a
really
robust
discussion
and
looking
forward
to
the
next.
Thank
you.
