A
D
E
A
We
have
seven
members
present
I
think
if
I
counted
right
and
therefore
we
have
a
quorum
and
are
prepared
to
do
our
work.
The
first
item
on
our
agenda
will
be
my
public
announcements
and
proclamations.
So
I
have
a
couple
proclamations
on
yikes
a
couple
proclamations
I
want
to
share
with
the
community.
As
I
said,
it's
been
a
long
five
weeks,
but
I
will
learn
how
to
operate
a
microphone
briefly
quickly.
A
The
first
is
regarding
National
diaper
need
awareness
week,
which
will
be
from
September
24th
through
October
2nd
of
this
year,
and
it
reads
as
follows:
whereas
diaper
need
the
condition
of
not
having
a
sufficient
supply
of
clean
diapers
to
ensure
that
infants
and
toddler
toddlers
are
clean,
healthy
and
dry
can
adversely
affect
the
Health
and
Welfare
of
infants,
Toddlers
and
their
families,
and
whereas
National
surveys
report
one
in
three
mothers
experience
diaper
need
at
some
time,
while
their
children
are
under
three
years
of
age
and
48
percent
of
families
delay
changing
a
diaper
to
extend
their
supply
and
whereas
the
average
infant
or
toddler
requires
an
average
of
50
diaper
changes
per
week
over
three
years,
and
whereas
the
people
of
Evanston
recognized
that
addressing
diaper
need
can
lead
to
Economic
Opportunity
for
the
state's
low-income
families
and
can
lead
to
improved
health
for
families
and
their
communities
and
whereas
critically
Evanston
is
proud
to
be
home,
to
bundle
blessings,
diaper,
pantry
and
various
Community
organizations
that
together
recognize
the
importance
of
diapers
and
helping
provide
economic
stability
for
families
and
distribute
diapers
to
low-income
families
through
various
channels.
A
Now
therefore,
I
Daniel
biss,
the
mayor-
do
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
20
September
24th
through
October,
2nd
2022
as
National
diaper
need
awareness
week
and
encourage
citizens
to
donate
generously
to
diaper
Banks
diaper
drives
and
those
organizations
that
distribute
diapers
to
families
in
need
to
help
alleviate
diaper
need
in
Evanston
and
nearby
communities
and
I
know
someone
here
representing
bundle.
Blessings
is
here.
If
you
don't
mind,
coming
up
I'd
love
to
present
you
with
this
Proclamation.
A
A
A
G
A
G
Just
want
to
plug
with
this.
If
you're
looking
for
a
place
to
donate
diapers,
we
have
Mutual
Aid
Community
fridges
throughout
Evanston,
I
think
that's
a
great
place.
Peckish
big
has
or
not,
package
picked,
but
Palm
House
has
one
in
the
eighth
Ward
there's
one
in
in
the
ninth
ward
by
Brava,
kombucha,
there's
one
by
the
family
in
the
second
ward,
but
that
yeah
CNA.
G
What
does
that
stand
for
Child,
Care
Network
of
Evanston,
yes
and
then
there's
another
one
in
the
Fifth
Ward
at
stolen
smoke
and
I.
Think
that
covers
all
of
the
Evanston
Mutual
Aid
fridges,
and
so
that's
there's
also
a
pantry
area.
You
can
put
diapers
and
all
kinds
of
stuff
and
folks
certainly
will
find
it.
Thank.
A
You
thank
you.
This
brings
me
to
my
second
proclamation
of
the
evening
recognizing
the
150th
anniversary
of
Bethlehem
Evangelical
Lutheran
Church.
A
A
A
Thank
you.
This
brings
us
to
public
comment
for
the
evening
this
evening.
Every
commenter
will
have
the
full
three
minutes
there
right
right.
Around
15
people
who've
requested
to
give
public
comments.
As
always,
we'll
begin
with
those
individuals
who
signed
up
in
person
to
speak
in
person,
beginning
with
Libby
Hill.
I
I
We
have
many
glass
buildings
in
town
I'm
at
Northwestern,
where
people
are
seeing
and
picking
up
dead
birds.
We
hope
that
this
ordinance
will
mean
that
new
buildings
covered
by
the
ordinance
will
lead
to
the
safe
passage
for
birds
in
Evanston,
which
is
on
a
major
Flyway
for
fall
and
spring
migrating
birds.
Birds
are
an
essential
pin
in
our
ecology,
the
literal
Canary
in
the
coal
mine
working
with
developers,
we've
learned
that
they
would
like
to
have
standards
up
front
to
work
with.
I
If
anyone
wonders
if
patience
is
a
virtue,
I'm
going
to
provide
some
proof,
I
look
back
at
my
records.
Ever
since
the
Francis
Sorrel
building
was
built
at
Northwestern
in
1972
Birds
began
hitting
those
reflective
Windows
regularly.
There
was
a
great
deal
of
concern
among
birders,
but
no
action.
There
was
no
research,
then
showing
how
glass
could
be
made
to
appear
safe
to
birds
or
how
dangerous
it
was.
It
took
30
years
until
Evanston,
North,
Shore
Bird
Club
began
monitoring,
Northwestern
buildings
in
2002,
with
the
cooperation
of
Northwestern.
I
We
brought
in
the
major
researcher
on
the
subject:
Daniel
Clinton,
who
by
then
had
researched
the
problem
to
meet
with
them
to
explain
Solutions
and
Daniel
Plum
Remains,
the
the
biggest
Authority
on
this
in
2017
Northwestern
opened
the
glass
Kellogg
Global
Hub,
which
stepped
up
our
activities
considerably
by
2019
Northwestern,
had
announced
that
it
would
become
a
leader
in
being
a
bird
friendly
campus
in
the
United
States.
We
continue
to
monitor
the
campus
for
alive
and
dead
birds
that
hit
campus
buildings,
and
we
also
look
at
buildings
in
downtown
Evanston,
which
present
problems.
I
The
first
record,
I
have
of
our
bird
friendly
committee
meetings,
was
in
January
2016
at
lucky
platter.
By
2017
we
had
a
draft
ordinance,
it's
rewarding
to
know
that
patience
pays
off
and
that
the
time
has
come.
Thank
you
all
council
members,
current
and
past
who
have
helped
and
encouraged
us
and
urged
us
on
We
Stand
ready
to
assist
in
any
way
in
enforcement
of
the
provisions
of
this
ordinance,
including
education,
continuing
to
meet
with
developers
and
working
in
cooperation
with
staff
and
council
members.
J
Good
evening,
I'm
just
here
to
support
my
cousin,
Kirsty
Harris
I,
just
want
to
say
she's,
going
to
be
an
asset
to
the
second
ward,
as
well
as
the
entire
City
of
Evanston
she's,
a
hard
worker
she's
willing
to
do
all
the
work
and
I
just
want
to
say
congratulations
to
my
favorite
cousin.
Thank
you.
K
Good
evening,
I'm
Matt
Rooney
I
am
the
vice
president
of
the
board
of
canal
Shores
and
I'm,
here
speaking
on
behalf
of
canal
Shores,
your
tenant
on
this
land.
That's
the
subject
matter
of
SP2,
which
is
a
motion
to
oppose
the
an
easement
coming
in
from
the
south
across
our
10th
green.
On
the
golf
course.
The
canal
Shores
board
looked
at
this
and
addressed
this
question
and
we
passed
a
resolution
in
June
which
I'd
like
to
read
to
you.
K
We,
as
I
said
we
are
opposed
to
this
easement
coming
in
from
the
south
Mr
Keith
in
the
material.
There
were
materials
you
received
with
with
the
motion
that
shows
a
schematic
of
how
he
expects
this
to
look.
He
he
he
points
out
that
he
wants
to
come
right
across
our
green
and
take
out
no
trees,
so
he's
trying
to
make
himself
into
a
hero.
K
So
he
wants
us
to
be
the
ones
that
have
to
take
the
trees
out
instead
of
him
if
he
comes
if
he
comes
in
from
the
south,
and
we
have
to
do
that,
we
will
end
up
taking
out
four
or
five
large
white
oak
trees,
which
are
ecologically
the
most
significant
trees
in
the
area.
This
is,
this
is
a.
This
is
a
wetlands
area
and
those
trees
are
very
valuable
and
we
don't
want
to
have
to
take
those
out.
We
leave
the
green
where
it
is.
We
know,
don't
have
to
take
those
out.
K
You
all
know
that
he
previously
received
a
right
to
have
an
easement
coming
in
from
the
north.
This
is
Wilmette
property
and
that
road
would
come
in
from
the
north,
not
through
Evanston,
and
he
apparently
doesn't
want
to
come
in
through
the
north,
but
coming
in,
but
he
did
get
an
easement
there.
If
this,
if
either
of
these
easements
takes
place,
it's
going
to
be
bad
for
Canal
Shores,
the
one
the
second
one,
the
one
he's
asking
for
tonight
coming
in
from
the
south
is
much
worse
than
the
first
one.
K
K
L
Hi
good
evening,
everybody
I
didn't
actually
intend
to
speak
I'm
here
just
in
support
of
the
arov
project
and
other
people
are
writing
their
names.
So
I
wrote
my
name
too,
but
while
I'm
here
I'll
just
say,
thank
you
very
much
for
everyone
who
is
participating
in
support
of
the
Aero
project
for
between
Everson
hospital
and
the
Chicago
Mitzvah
campaign.
Hospitality
suite
it's
a
very,
very
important
thing
for
the
Jewish
community
and
we
thank
you
all
for
your
support.
M
Good
evening,
I
do
have
depictions
if
trustees
would
like
to
see
the
depictions
of
the
proposed
easement
I'll
leave
him
here.
If
that
would
be
appropriate.
M
I'm
Joseph
Keefe
representative
of
the
key
Family
Trust.
We
are
the
owners
of
the
parcel
of
land,
abutting
mwd
property
north
of
Isabella
Street.
Allow
me
to
provide
clarifications
regarding
the
proposed
resolution
before
you
tonight.
Our
family
has
entered
into
an
agreement
to
donate
our
property
to
Housing
Opportunity
Development
Corporation
for
the
purposes
of
building
affordable
housing
there.
My
efforts
to
gain
access
to
our
property
are
devoted
to
that
purpose.
Currently
the
property
is
landlocked
and
the
easement
we
seek
will
relieve
that
condition.
M
Three
years
ago,
mwd
approved
an
easement
from
the
north,
from
Maple
Avenue
working
with
staff
from
the
village
of
Wilmette
they've
asked
us
to
explore
the
option
of
moving
the
easement
to
Isabella.
Our
teams
have
outlined
several
reasons
for
this
request.
An
easement
from
Isabella
would
not
affect
private
properties.
The
approach
the
Isabel
approach
will
preserve
the
Heritage
trees
along
the
10th
Fairway.
The
Isabella
approach
will
not
require
removal
of
trees,
shrubs
or
other
plantings.
The
Isabel
approach
has
a
curb
cut
and
that
entrance
is
already
used
for
maintenance
machinery.
M
The
Isabella
approach
will
Traverse
already
engineered
land
and
will
not
disturb
pristine
or
Heritage
growths.
In
that
area,
regarding
the
points
in
the
proposed
resolution,
I
offer
several
clarifications.
Canal
Shores
is
certainly
a
valuable
Community
partner
in
the
City
of
Evanston
and
a
great
Steward
of
the
open
space
property
enjoyed
by
many
people
over
the
years.
It
is
an
important
Community
Asset.
It
is
also
a
private
business.
It's
a
non-profit
with
its
own
goals
and
missions
operating
on
public
property
as
a
normal
part
of
its
operations.
M
Canal
Shores
Parks
thousands
of
cars
each
year
on
unpaved
public
property.
It
would
seem
unusual
for
Evanston
to
promote
to
permit
this
use
of
dozens
of
Acres
of
open
space
while
then
opposing
a
roadway
which
will
have
a
far
less
negative
effect
on
existing
Green
Space,
a
roadway
off
Isabella.
This
is
in
the
resolution
as
well.
A
roadway
off
of
Isabella
and
Evanston
would
Pro
would
pose
significant
safety
hazards
to
pedestrians
and
cyclists
along
Isabella.
Canal
Shores
is
currently
bisected
by
five
streets.
17
roads
run
parallel
to
the
golf
courser
and
at
its
borders.
M
The
proposed
roadway
would
be
identical
in
uses
and
purposes
to
the
existing
roads
and
will
follow
the
optical
codes.
A
roadway
would
subtract.
This
is
again
in
the
resolution.
A
roadway
would
subtract
open
space
that
manages
storm
water
and,
conversely,
add
impervious
surface.
That
would
increase
the
burden
of
storm
water
that
the
city
and
mwd
must
manage.
The
roadway
will
adhere
to
mwrd's
storm
water
management.
Ordinance
mwed
has
storm
water,
drainage
systems
in
place
and
the.
M
You,
as
you
can
see
in
the
depictions
the
proposed
roadway
would
include
moving
the
10th
green.
The
hole
is
constructed
as
a
part
three
and
that
status
will
remain
I
emphasize
that
moving
into
Isabella
Will
preserve
the
oak
trees
and
the
wetlands
to
the
north.
Finally,
your.
A
You
very
much
the
next
speaker
is
Anne
Rainey.
F
A
N
Well,
I
could
talk
about
six
items
tonight,
but
I'm
going
to
try
and
control
myself
first
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
that
the
eighth
ward
has
an
ear
roof
and
we've
had
it
for
almost
20
years,
I.
Think
and
I.
Don't
think
anybody
in
this
room
probably
knows
where
it
is
so
just
that's
to
let
you
know
that
they
are
not
intrusive.
N
Second
of
all,
I
want
to
congratulate
Chrissy,
Harris
I,
think
that
was
a
wonderful
appointment
and
I
hope
you
all
approve
it.
My
name
is
Anne
Rainey
and
I'm,
a
former
Alderman
in
the
eighth
Ward
and
I
want
to
say
to
council
member
Reed.
You
have
done
a
fabulous
job
in
keeping
activities
in
the
eighth
Ward
rolling
tonight
is
a
big
night
for
the
eighth
Ward
on
the
agenda.
You
have
estacion
getting
ready
to
add,
amend
the
lease.
N
Finally,
after
all
these
years
there
it
looks
like
they're
actually
going
to
open,
and
if
anybody
has
ever
been
to
libertad
in
Skokie,
you
will
be
really
excited
that
they're
going
to
open
a
restaurant
at
633,
Howard
Street.
An
estacion,
of
course,
is
reflective
that
this
was
the
location
of
the
first
Outpost
police
Outpost
in
Evanston
years
ago.
N
Second
of
all,
second
of
all,
Palm
House
is
going
to
be
asking
for
a
release
from
having
to
go
to
Dapper
every
time
they
want
to
have
an
event
and
they
are
having
fabulous
success,
and
so
thank
you
for
supporting
that.
Also.
And
finally,
there
was
the
matter
of
the
Howard
Street,
affordable,
senior,
housing
building
and
everybody
agrees.
N
In
any
way
there,
the
developer
failed
to
notify
about
the
change
in
the
artists,
rendering
that
was
submitted
to
the
to
for
the
plan
development
showing
the
fake
wood
composite
material
that
looked
like
wood
on
the
front
of
the
building,
and
instead
now
we
have
what
I
really
think
is
much
more
fun,
and
that
is
the
bright,
yellow
trim
on
the
front
of
the
building
and
it
is
different
and
it
is
not
what
was
presented.
N
But
there
was
an
eight-month
delay
in
receiving
the
original
proposed
products
and
that
would
have
meant
an
eight-month
delay
in
installing
Windows
in
an
eight-month
delay
in
putting
people
in
the
building
and
as
a
result,
we
have
a
fully
occupied
building.
It
is
so
exciting
and
if
you
haven't
been
in
the
building,
please
go,
it
is
it's
just
amazing.
People
are
living
in
that
building
who
have
never
had
air
conditioning
who've,
never
been
in
an
elevator
building
before
and
never
been
in
a
newly
constructed
building.
N
So
while
there
was
a
screw-up
really,
this
developer
was
the
most
communicative
developer
ever
and
how
this
happened.
I
don't
know,
but
it
made
absolutely
no
difference
in
the
structural
product
that
was
delivered
it
just
you
know
it's
a
taste
thing
and
you
know
there
should
have
been
communication
and
there
wasn't
so
I'm
asking
you
to
overlook
that
and
support
it.
Thank
you.
A
O
Sorry
about
that
I
thought
I
asked
to
present
in
person
good
evening,
mayor
Bess,
Clark,
Mendoza
and
members
of
the
city
council.
I
am
Annie
Coakley,
the
director
of
downtown
Evanston
and
I'm
here,
to
show
support
of
the
downtown
Evanston
Board
of
Directors
for
item
A9
on
this
evening's
agenda:
approval
of
a
contract
for
Street
plus
using
American
Rescue
planning
act
funding.
O
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
get
everything.
A
clean
and
safe
downtown
is
welcoming
the
streets
and
sidewalks
are
clear
of
debris,
clutter
and
graffiti.
The
streetscape
is
filled
with
beautiful
trees,
flower
pots,
benches
art
and
nighttime
lighting.
The
streets
are
lined
with
businesses,
restaurants,
gathering
places,
entertainment
and
culture.
We
know
every
city
is
unique,
but
we
know
many
cities
say
face
similar
challenges.
One
of
the
most
common
challenges
is
providing
a
clean
environment
in
high
traffic
commercial
corridors.
O
O
Currently
downtown
Evanston
has
a
contract
with
a
landscape
company
that
provides
annual
plantings,
watering
of
plantings
five
day
a
week,
garbage
removal
and
one
annual
power
wash
while
we
value
the
services
they
provide
to
keep
downtown
clean
of
litter.
Downtown
needs
a
more
thorough
approach,
as
you
will
see
from
the
street
plus
presentation
or
that
you
saw
in
your
packet.
O
Their
services
go
above
and
beyond
what
a
landscape
company
can
provide.
The
clean
and
team
members
are
selected
trained
and
expected
to
add
to
the
friendliness
of
the
places
they
represent,
as
well
as
pay
attention
to
detail
a
pan
in
brooms,
so
cleaning
up
with
planning
broom
in
all
the
nooks
and
crannies
of
downtown.
O
They
also
will
clean
fixtures
of
high
interaction,
Services
empty
receptacles,
graffiti
removal
and
power,
washing
multiple
levels
of
power,
washing
Zone
annual
power
wash
plus
spot
cleaning
for
areas
that
are
frequently
grimy
or
dirty
customers,
visitors
and
residents
return
to
corridors
that
are
clean,
safe
and
Lively.
The
recurring
purchases
and
activity
allow
businesses
to
open,
Thrive,
grow
and
hire.
O
This
is
applicable
to
every
part
of
the
city,
but
especially
to
downtown
that
has
been
so
drastically
impacted
by
the
pandemic
due
to
a
lack
of
daily
Workforce
foot
traffic,
as
we
work
together
to
rebound
from
the
pandemic.
Now
is
the
time
to
invest
in
these
services,
so
we're
able
to
put
our
best
foot
forward
to
prospective
tenants
and
returning
Workforce
and
customers.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
P
Good
evening,
mayor
bis,
members
of
council,
my
name
is
Jackson
pallor
I
live
in
the
First
Ward
and
I
will
attempt
to
be
very
brief.
I'm
here
to
support
the
the
amendment
to
the
Evanston,
fair
housing,
ordinance,
I
believe
designated
79022.
That
I
had
thought
was
going
to
be
on
the
agenda
today.
I
think
it'll
be
on
the
next
meeting.
P
I,
don't
think,
there's
much
that
need
much
more.
That
needs
to
be
said
other
than
what
it
does
providing
increased
protections
for
housing
rates
based
on
covered
criminal
history
and
a
person's
perceived
status
as
a
victim
of
domestic
violence.
I
think
this
is
plainly
a
good
thing
to
do
and
it
can
make
housing
rights
a
lot
more
secure
for
a
lot
more
people
and
just
wanted
to
add
my
voice
to
support
and
I
hope.
I
see
it
past.
The
next
meeting
on
the
27th
I
believe
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
just
to
reiterate
the
three
folks
who
signed
up
to
speak
in
person
who
didn't
answer.
The
call
of
their
name
were
Svetlana
Beckman,
Francine,
Allen
and
Peter
Jones.
None
of
them
is
in
the
zoom
or
any
of
the
three
of
you
here
within
the
sound
of
my
voice,
seeing
that
that
appears
not
to
be
the
case.
We'll
move
ahead
to
those
who
signed
her
to
speak
via
Zoom,
who
are
Linda,
Del
Bosque,
followed
by
Mike
vasilko
and
then
Betty
Sue
Esther.
Q
Hi
good
evening,
everyone
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
remind
our
council
members,
our
city
staff,
that
September
14th
is
the
Port
Latino
business,
Community
Day.
So
we're
asking
for
our
allies
to
support
our
Latino
businesses.
I
did
email
Luke
as
well
as
Paul,
a
toolkit
created
by
the
Department
of
Economic
and
community
and
the
minority
for
the
state
of
Illinois.
Q
So
we're
asked
for
the
support
for
the
City
of
Evanston
I'm,
talking
I'm
speaking
to
you
this
evening
on
behalf
of
the
Evanston
women's
minority
business
center
they'll
be
opening
up
towards
the
end
of
this
year.
I've
been
working
very
hard
with
the
state
in
the
county
to
put
programs
and
developments
together.
Thank
you.
R
First,
I
just
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
support
Lou
Stowe
in
his
new
position
as
city
manager
personally
and
I
hope.
Others
want
Luke
to
succeed
to
the
fullest
extent
possible.
R
Two
things:
I'm
asking
that
evanston's
climate
action
person
the
person
who's
responsible
for
that
department,
reports
of
the
council
at
each
meeting,
each
monthly
meeting
going
forward.
There
has
been
not
enough
but
kind
of
lip
service
regarding
climate
action
and
you
need
to
start
taking
a
firm
stand
on
that
Beyond.
A
resolution,
that's
tucked
away
in
the
files.
R
By
my
estimation,
in
order
to
make
any
progress
with
eliminating
fossil
fuel
consumption
by
the
city
and
by
its
residents,
you
need
to
budget
roughly
25
million
dollars
a
year
for
the
next
10
years
and
that's
at
the
low
end,
I
think
of
what
needs
to
happen
so
I
hope
many
of
the
many
of
the
council
members
will
support
that
in
the
future.
S
Good
evening,
well,
I'll
be
speaking
on
a
3,
8c1
and
R1
ate.
All
of
these
item
has
to
do
with
the
issue
of
the
community
resident
not
being
fully
vetted
and
allowed
to
have
conversations
in
around
them.
S
S
We
There
was
complaint
made
to
her.
We
did
not
see
the
results
from
that.
So
if
you
have
those
results
and
things
in
those
in
that
document,
we
need
to
see
it.
So
we
are
asking
you
before
you
vote
on
that
that
you
make
that
available
to
the
community
to
look
at
a
code
document
with
our
one
resolution,
the
committee,
that
a
people
that
is
going
to
be
appointed
tonight,
one
of
the
things
I
didn't
see
any
kind.
S
Was
the
people
took
that
that
received
the
service
are
not
being
placed
on
this
committee
and
a
lot
of
the
community?
We
have
the
staff
people
from
the
different
organizations,
but
not
the
people
that
see
received
the
service
and
they
can
speak
to
the
value
of
the
service
and
everything
much
better
than
the
staff
can.
So
those
committees
meet.
That
committee
need
to
be
looked
at
and
appointed
the
residence
that
it's
receiving
the
service
that
you
are
claiming
to
end
up
going
to
benefit
them.
S
A
G
T
A
T
C
V
A
V
U
A
Is
Evanston
we're
not
quite
done?
We
don't
take
one
oath
around
here.
We
take
two.
So
the
next
is
the
Athenian
oath
of
citizenship.
A
W
D
D
D
A
G
I
made
comments,
but
I
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
I'm
excited
that
Chrissy
is
joining
us.
Chrissy
is
someone
who
has
spent.
G
Essentially
lifetimes,
but
a
lifetime
of
service
to
to
our
community
I
first
met
Chrissy.
When
I
was
we
LED
in
beginning
in
college,
at
at
Oakton,
where
Chrissy
worked
at
the
time
in
the
student
Student
Activities
office
and
Chrissy
was
the
was
so
connected
to
the
students
and
so
involved
in
the
day-to-day
activities
of
students
and
making
sure
that
students
had
everything
they
need
not
only
to
be
successful
in
school,
but
out
be
successful.
G
Members
of
The
Wider
Community
that
you
know
I'm
just
honored
that
we're
bringing
that
experience
and
that
that
passion
and
dedication
for
serving
folks
for
serving
Young
Folks
on
to
our
Council.
So
thank
you
for
joining
us
and
hope
folks
stick
around
and
get
to
watch
the
real
fun
stuff
would,
which
is
the
discussions
about
policy
and
the
votes
that
were
all
taken
and
and
I'm
glad
that
you
are
a
new
representative
of
the
voice
of
many
folks
in
our
community.
So
thank
you.
A
I'll
just
add
my
voice
to
that.
You
know
when,
when
I
first
saw
your
application,
I
thought
it
was
like
a
like
a
fake
like
how
could
one
person
have
done
so
many
things,
the
the
number
of
different
community
activities
and
groups
and
organizations
that
you
were
giving
serious
time
to
right,
not
putting
your
name
on
a
list,
but
digging
in
doing
the
work,
bringing
more
people
on
board.
It
was
really
really
inspiring,
and
then
you
know,
what's
the
names
of
the
candidates
were
made
public.
A
There
was
just
such
an
outpouring
of
support
for
you
from
across
the
community,
and
then
you
know
when
I
had
a
chance
to
to
both
speak
with
you
and
see
the
way
you
performed
in
the
the
candidate
Forum.
There
was
just
such
depth
and
such
warmth.
There
I
think
it's
going
to
be
really
really
Delight
for
all
of
us
to
get
a
chance
to
work
with
you.
I
do
want
to
again
thank
all
the
candidates.
It
was
a
big
strong,
impressive
field.
A
It
was
not
even
after
all
the
things
I
just
said
that
were
true.
It
was
still
not
an
easy
choice
because
there
were
so
many
strong,
impressive
candidates
and
I
want
to
thank
all
of
them
for
their
dedication
to
the
community.
But
just
again
can't
can't
express
enough
how
how
enthusiastic
I
am
for
us
to
have
this
chance
to
work
together
and
how
confident
I
am
that
you're
going
to
be
just
fabulous
for
the
ward
for
the
whole
city
and
for
this
body
up
here
as
well.
V
First
official
Duty
pushing
the
button
to
make
sure
it's
on
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
few
moments
to
thank
everyone,
most
definitely
the
mayor
for
making
this
appointment,
but
the
city
council
for
agreeing,
because
you
could
have
said
no
so
I
appreciate
that
I
appreciate
the
community
in
which
I
live
and
serve.
They
have
poured
so
much
into
me
that
it
makes
this
easy
and
effortlessly
to
be
up
here
to
continue
to
serve
I.
Think
my
family
and
friends
who
were
here
they
helped
make.
V
Who
I
am
today
I'm,
going
to
try
not
to
cry
I'm,
very
excited
and
nervous,
and
all
of
it,
my
dad
is
there
my
mom
is
there
and
I
appreciate
all
the
timeouts
and
all
the
punishments
to
help
me
become
a
better
person
right,
but
today
is
very
special.
Also
as
it
is
my
stepfather's
birthday,
he
passed
away,
it's
been
15
16
years
and
when
I
saw
that
this
was
a
day
that
the
appointment
was
going
to
happen.
It
just
made
it
that
much
more
special,
so
I.
Thank
everybody.
V
This
appointment
is
not
just
about
me.
It's
about
the
community
and
I.
Look
forward
to
working
with
everyone
and
I'm
not
sure,
if
Peter's
still
in
the
audience,
but
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
all
of
his
service,
all
of
the
council,
people
that
came
before
him
and
in
the
city
in
general.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
welcome
again,
and
this
brings
us
to
item
oh.
This
brings
us
to
item
SP2
on
the
agenda.
Would
someone
care
to
make
a
motion
on
item
SP2,
council,
member
Revell.
Y
Yes,
I'd
like
to
move
approval
of
resolution
80-r-22,
which
would
register
the
city
of
evanston's
objection
to
a
roadway
easement
request
through
property
owned
by
the
Metropolitan
Water
Reclamation
District
of
Greater
Chicago
and
leased
by
the
City
of
Evanston.
A
Y
I
think
well,
I
will
just
give
a
bit
of
background
about
this
it.
The
resolution
addresses
a
proposal.
That's
now
under
discussion.
It's
not
yet
before
mwrd
for
a
roadway
easement
across
Canal
Shores,
Golf
Course
from
Isabella
North
to
private
property
located
in
Wilmette.
The
owners
and
you've
met
Mr
Keith
this
evening.
The
key
Family
Trust
proposes
to
donate
the
property
to
Housing
Opportunity
Development
Corporation,
to
build
affordable
housing
in
exchange
for
which
the
owners
will
receive
affordable
housing
tax
credits.
Y
This
may
sound
familiar
because
actually
this
is
the
third
time
that
a
roadway
across
mwrd
property
has
been
proposed
and
come
before
the
council.
So
just
really
briefly.
In
2017,
the
roadway
that
was
requested
was
across
Isabella
Woods,
an
undisturbed
oak
forest
with
55,
mostly
mature
trees,
providing
a
Haven
for
local
Wildlife,
diverting
thousands
of
gallons
of
storm
water
from
the
combined
sewer
system.
The
city
council
in
2017
approved
a
resolution
opposing
this
red
roadway
and
the
mwrd
board
denied
the
request
at
that
time.
Y
Y
On
that
occasion,
the
mwrd
board
did
approve
the
request
and
that
roadway,
as
you
heard
this
evening,
is
still
in
effect,
and
now
we
are
considering
a
third
roadway
in
this
ecologically
important
area
and
it's
important
I
think
to
say
a
word
just
briefly
about
the
Keith
property
itself.
It's
not
just
an
empty
parcel
of
land
like
Isabella
Woods,
the
Keefe
property
contains
a
Remnant
Forest
of
many
swamp
white
oak
trees,
providing
a
unique
Haven
for
birds
and
other
Wildlife.
Y
It's
also
seasonally
inundated
seasonally
inundated
Wetland
provides
valuable
ecological
benefits,
including
storage
for
storm
water
and
habitat,
for
a
variety
of
wildlife,
especially
amphibians,
meaning,
frogs
and
and
turtles,
and
ducks
and
Ducks
aren't
amphibians.
Excuse
me,
but
anyway,
I'm
going
to
send
pass
a
photo
each
Direction,
so
you
can
kind
of
see
what
it
looks
like
in
the
springtime
things.
Y
So
I
mean
basically,
it
would
be
really
a
shame
to
have
that
property
developed
if
approved,
but
we're
talking
about
the
roadway.
The
roadway
would
pave
over
a
sizable
portion
of
the
tenth
hole
of
our
community
golf
course
and
would
have
a
detrimental
effect
on
the
design
of
the
course,
as
you
heard
from
Matt
Rooney
earlier
this
evening,
the
tenth
hole
is
lined
with
a
hundred
year
old
oak
trees
and
many
think
consider
it
to
be
the
most
beautiful
hole
on
the
whole
Golf
Course.
Y
G
Thank
you,
I
did
not
have
a
chance
to
speak
to
you
about
this
over
the
weekend,
but
I
have
had
some
time
to
to
look
at
this,
and
I
was
around
previously
in
2017
as
Quirk
when
this
came
before
the
council
previously
and
and
so
I
just
have
a
few
questions
and
I
want
to
understand.
So
you
said,
there's
an
existing
or
a
roadway
that
was
approved
already.
G
Easy
way
that
would
be
the
easement
and
it
would
open
up
on
Maple,
okay
and
maple
is
in
Wilmette,
okay,
and
so
what
is
stopping
the
kief
Family
Trust
from
building
here
by
right.
Y
Right,
well,
they
they
need,
they
need
a
roadway
access,
they
need
access
to
the
property,
because,
right
now
it's
landlocked,
so
they've
been
encouraged
by
Wilmette
to
seek
an
easement
from
the
south.
Okay.
G
Okay,
you
know
I
I,
I'm,
gonna
trust,
fully,
trust
your
your
judgment
and
and
research
here,
and
also
folks
that
you
know
I
I,
also
trust
have
reached
out
Leslie,
shad
and
others
and
have
reached
out
on
this
issue.
I
do
think
you
know
this
is
a
golf
course
and
in
some
part
and
typically
I,
think
I'd
be
on
the
side
of
replacing
a
golf
course
with
affordable
housing
because
for
a
whole
host
of
reasons,
I
don't
need
to
get
into
now.
G
G
Of
what
you
can
to
build
affordable
housing,
which
is
a
good
thing,
you
could
make
money
a
whole
host
of
ways
and
doing
it.
This
way
is
a
little
a
little
better
than
others.
So
I'm
going
to
support
the
letter.
I,
don't
think
the
city
actually
has
a
whole
lot
of
power
here,
other
than
just
to
say
to
the
mwrd.
Please
don't
do
this
so
mwrd!
G
Please
don't
do
this
and
I'll
I'll
vote
Yes
for
this,
but
I'd
love
to
see
if
we
can
figure
or
will
met,
can
figure
something
out
with
with
these
folks,
because
we'll
met
this
part
of
Evanston
and
particularly
Wilmette
desperately
needs
affordable
housing
and
I'd
love
to
see
affordable
housing
over
a
golf
course,
but
we.
A
T
T
A
With
eight
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against
the
motion
passes
and
the
city's
objection
has
been
registered,
this
brings
us
to
item
sp3,
which
is
a
discussion
item,
although
actually
a
motion
to
accept
and
place
in.
G
A
AA
AB
Okay,
I
guess
I'll,
just
ask
you
to
advance
the
slides
and.
AB
Will
do
well.
Thank
you
for
having
us.
My
name
is
Jada
Kent
I'm
here
from
Texas,
I
might
accidentally
say:
y'all
we've
got
Caitlin
Hallmark
house
on
the
call
and
she's
going
to
be
stepping
in
the
last
part
of
this
presentation
to
talk
about
the
Staffing
study,
there's
Caitlin
myself
in
the
middle,
and
we
had
Alison
Lemay
on
the
call
earlier
today
where
we
did
the
same
presentation
with
employees
to
kind
of
let
them
know
about
the
process
and
the
results.
AB
So
I
want
to
give
a
high
level
overview
about
what
our
process
looks
like
how
we
kind
of
came
to
the
conclusion.
We've
come
to
and
then
end
with
the
recommendations
we're
leaving
you
with.
So
our
process
follows
these
main
phases.
We
started
with
data
collection
to
just
understand
the
kind
of
current
state
of
the
city
collected
every
piece
of
documentation.
We
could
that
describes
positions
and
the
compensation
of
those
positions.
So
job
descriptions,
pay
plans,
pay
policies,
handbooks
Etc.
AB
We
asked
employees
to
complete
a
position
analysis
questionnaire,
so
where
job
descriptions
may
not
be
the
most
update
these
documents
were
employees
telling
us
in
their
own
words,
what
work
is
actually
and
currently
being
done
in
their
positions,
and
we
use
those
documents
as
the
foundation
for
the
whole
rest
of
the
study.
First,
starting
with
a
position
review
where
we
looked
at
Job
titles
to
make
sure
positions
were
called
what
they're
doing.
AB
We
also
conducted
a
job
evaluation,
the
point
of
which
to
ensure
internal
Equity
with
positions
and
I'll
get
into
that
a
little
bit
more.
We
also
did
a
market
assessment
meant
to
collect
base
pay
information
from
peer
organizations
just
to
compare
them
to
the
city's
position
pay,
and
then
we
plugged
all
of
that
into
pay
plan
development
where
we
built
a
brand
new
pay
plan
and
plugged
those
positions
in
and
then
wrapping
everything
up
here
now
so
job
evaluation.
We
have
our
own
point
factor:
evaluation,
called
safe.
AB
The
end
result
of
doing
a
point
factor
evaluation
is
a
total
score
for
every
job.
So
when
we
talk
about
establishing
a
hierarchy
of
your
jobs
relative
to
internal
Equity,
it
is
that
point
that
number
score
just
sorted
high
to
low
and
we
come
up
with
that
number
through
these
nine
compensable
factors
you
see
here
and
this
acts
as
a
measuring
stick
when
you're,
comparing
you
know,
looking
at
one
department-
and
you
probably
know
what
the
hierarchy
is
in
that
department.
AB
But
as
you
look
across
departments,
it
may
not
be
as
obvious
anymore,
where
positions
kind
of
fall
against
each
other.
So
we
use
these
nine
compensable
factors
to
measure
all
of
those
jobs.
The
education,
The
Experience
requirements,
the
level
of
work,
that's
performed
if
they're
working
in
hazardous
conditions,
lifting
lots
of
heavy
things,
their
independence
to
make
decisions
and
act
on
them.
AB
For
the
market
piece
we
didn't
have
Market
values
for
100
of
the
jobs.
We
either
didn't
survey
them
all
because
we
knew
we
wouldn't
get
it
or
we
tried
to
survey
some
and
didn't
get
what
we
thought
so
peer
organizations.
We
looked
at
competitive
and
comparable
organizations
and
those
are
similar
size,
similar
Services.
Just
you
know,
organizations
you
lose
employees
to
and
gain
them
from.
So
we
make
sure
we're.
AB
Looking
at
that
competition
for
the
private
sector,
piece
of
the
puzzle
we
used
published
salary
survey
data,
so
it
kind
of
you
know
serves
as
that
private
sector
representative.
We
had
three
sources
that
we
plugged
in
there
and
then
the
Benchmark
positions
like
I,
said
some
positions
don't
exist
in
every
organization,
so
we
tried
to
focus
on
positions.
We
knew
we
would
get
a
hit
on
for
data
adjustments.
AB
Once
we
collected
that
information
back
work
week,
if
there's
an
organization
that
has
a
37.5
work
week
or
a
40
hour
work
week,
we're
just
bringing
the
data
up
to
a
common
point
in
time
we
would
Age
the
data
if
it
wasn't
for
the
current
fiscal
year.
Usually
it's
just
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
that's
behind
so
we
age
that
one
and
then
we
do
a
cost
of
Labor
differential.
AB
So
that's
not
cost
of
living
and
I
do
have
a
slide
that
we'll
get
into
that
a
little
bit
more,
but
it's
a
regional
cost
of
Labor
differential.
So
the
quality
control
I
want
to
point
out.
No
peers
data
was
weighted,
nobody's
more
important
than
anybody
else.
We
plug
all
the
data
in
and
it
had
the
same
weight
we
required
at
least
four
matches
per
Benchmark.
That's
that
quantity
piece
of
the
quality.
If
you're
talking
about
a
market
value,
it's
just
an
average
of
the
results.
AB
AB
So
for
those
peer
organizations,
there
were
14
public
organizations
identified
and
we
were
able
to
collect
data
from
all
of
them.
They
either
completed
the
survey,
sent
their
data
back
or
we
found
their
information
online,
but
we
got
data
for
all
14
of
those
for
the
published
sources.
We
used
a
Bureau
of
Labor,
Statistics,
comp
analyst
and
the
economic
research
institute,
and
so
those
three
are
kind
of
acting
as
the
private
sector.
AB
For
the
cost
of
Labor
adjustment,
these
are
the
adjustments
that
we
applied,
so
cost
of
Labor
is
a
little
bit
cost
of
living.
It's
more
the
supply
and
demand
of
labor
in
a
given
area,
so
unemployment
and
qualified
workers
in
a
given
region.
So
at
the
top
you
can
see
that
evanston's
cost
of
Labor
differential
is
107.9.
The
U.S
average
is
a
hundred,
so
107
is
higher
than
that
for
each
of
these
localities.
We
took
that
cost
of
Labor
differential
and
then
in
the
far
right
column,
is
what
adjustment
we
made
to
that
data.
AB
AB
Cost
of
Labor
is
yes,
yes,
so
down
on
the
bottom.
Those
last
three
are
the
published
survey
sources,
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics.
We
had
the
state
cut,
so
that's
103.7.
We
have
the
U.S
average
for
comp
analysts
and
then
economic
research
institute
we're
able
to
take
from
evanston's
locality,
so
all
of
that
plugged
in
okay.
So
once
we.
A
B
AB
A
AB
I
would
call
it
a
smarter
way
because,
when
CPI
tanks,
you
don't
take
money
away
from
people,
cost
of
Labor
is
just
steadier
more
reliable.
It's
an
average
of
cost
of
living
over
time,
instead
of
it
going
up
and
down
and
up
and
down.
A
AB
AB
G
D
G
AB
Okay,
so
getting
into
building
the
pay
plan,
we
built
a
brand
new
pay
plan
from
scratch,
we're
looking
at
one
pay
plan
for
all
of
the
positions.
Currently,
there
are
several
pay
plans
that
are
kind
of
moving
it.
You
know
step
plan
open
range,
doing
different
things
at
different
times.
The
point
of
this
is
to
get
all
positions
onto
one
paid
plan,
so
everybody's
moving
in
the
same
direction
at
the
same
pace.
AB
So
an
open
range
plan
just
means
it's
open
from
minimum
to
maximum
there's
no
defined
steps
in
between
this
one
has
19
grades.
The
range
spread,
which
is
the
distance
from
minimum
to
maximum,
is
40
percent
and
then
progresses
to
50
percent.
The
midpoint
differentials
start
at
9.75
and
those
increase
as
well,
and
that's
the
distance
between
the
midpoint.
AB
So
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
when
we
build
a
pay
plan,
we're
looking
at
the
market
results,
the
city's
intention
was
to
be
at
market,
and
so
we
align
the
midpoint
of
the
pay
plan
to
the
market
and
build
out
from
there.
So
we
don't
go
and
figure
out
what
we
want
the
starting
to
be.
We,
the
midpoint,
is
the
anchor
of
the
pay
plan
and
then
we
build
out.
AB
AB
And
so
then,
when
we're
talking
about
assigning
positions
to
this
new
pay
plan,
we
went
back
to
the
results
of
the
job
evaluation.
So
I
know
it's
hard
to
see,
but
along
the
bottom
represents
the
total,
safe
scores
so
that
job
evaluation
score
and
along
the
left
side
is
going
to
be
the
market
average
midpoint.
So
each
of
these
dots
is
a
benchmark
position
where
their
job
evaluation
and
their
Market
data
intersects.
So
you
can
just
see
the
distribution
of
all
of
those
Benchmark
positions
with
that
blue
line
kind
of
going
through
the
middle.
AB
The
correlation
between
internal
and
external
data
is
usually
pretty
high.
This
one
was
88
percent
and
that's
just
means
a
manager
is
a
manager
internally
and
externally.
It's
what
we
expect
to
see.
The
other
lines
show
the
pay
plan
that
we've
built,
so
that
green
line,
that's
just
running
parallel
to
the
blue
line,
is
the
midpoint
of
the
paper
plan.
We've
got
the
maximum
and
the
minimum,
so
you
can
see
just
how
well
your
natural
distribution
of
jobs
are
fitting
in
this
pay
plan.
AB
So
I
want
to
point
out
that
these
are
Benchmark
positions.
That
means
we
had
Market
data
and
job
evaluation,
there's
some
positions
where
we
only
had
job
evaluation
because
we
couldn't
get
market
so
for
those,
the
job
evaluation
is
the
key
right.
We
know
the
internal
value,
and
so,
if
you've
got
two
positions
that
have
Market
data-
and
you
know
it
fits
in
between
well,
then
you
kind
of
know
where
it
fits.
AB
So
the
next
couple
of
slides
are
just
the
position,
assignments
and
so
I'll
kind
of
zip
through
these,
because
this
is
in
the
final
report.
AB
And
get
to
the
piece
of
the
puzzle
that
you
know
once
we
have
those
great
assignments
now
we're
looking
at
the
person
in
the
position
and
how
do
we
get
this
implemented?
How
do
we
get
everyone
onto
the
pay
plan,
so
you
can
adopt
it,
so
the
762
employees
that
we
had
on
the
roster
looking
at
where
they
fall
their
current
salary,
is
either
below
the
pay
plan
they're
within
their
new
pay
range
or
they're.
Above
it.
So
69
employees
had
a
salary
that
fell
below
their
new
minimum
option.
AB
One
is
looking
at
just
moving
those
69
onto
the
pay
plan
so
up
to
that
minimum,
everyone
else
retains
what
they
currently
have.
That
cost
is
about
261
925,
and
so
that
is
just
moving
those
69
employees
onto
their
minimum
option.
Two
is
looking
at
doing
what
option
one
is
doing,
but
also
giving
a
two
percent
across
the
board
for
everyone
else.
So
those
seven
those
676
employees
would
also
get
the
two
percent.
AB
Where
you
see
the
difference
in
Pay
between
the
69,
where
it
costs
261
and
then
on
the
second
scenario,
it
costs
312..
So
if
movement
to
minimum
is
less
than
a
two
percent
for
some
people,
it
was
like
50
bucks.
They
instead
get
that
full
two
percent.
So
the
point
is
no
one
gets
less
than
two
percent.
AB
So
the
intention
of
these
implementation
and
I
want
to
point
this
out,
because
we
had
a
lot
of
questions
about
this
from
employees.
It's
only
to
adopt
this
pay
plan
just
to
get
people
on
it.
So
that's
the
framework
you
have
going
forward
with
you
know
the
positions
are
defined
by
these
pay
grades
and
then
moving
employees
through
those
ranges.
AB
So
what
I
want
to
leave
you
with
is
just
recommendations
to
pretty
much
adopt
everything
we
did
the
job,
titles
classification
changes,
the
pay
plan
and
the
grade
assignments,
picking
an
implementation
scenario
that
meets
your
compensation
philosophy,
but
that's
also
fiscally
sustainable,
adopting
recommended
changes
to
pay
policies.
So,
if
you
think
of
your
pay
plan
as
like
a
map,
the
pay
policies
are
the
instructions
for
that
map.
We
just
changed
your
map,
so
you
need
to
kind
of
tweak
some
of
those
pay
policies
and
we've
worked
with
the
city
to
come
up
with
those.
AB
So
we
urge
to
adopt
those
to
keep
the
pay
plan
meeting
that
compensation
philosophy,
but
then
this
last
recommendation
is
probably
my
biggest
one
and
it's
to
continue
efforts
like
this
doing
this
class
and
comp
study
to
kind
of
get
things.
Recalibrated
continue
to
review
the
market,
making
adjustments
and
then
Merit
increases
to
move
employees
through
that
range,
and
so
with
that
I
will
hand
it
over
to
Caitlin.
For
the
staffing
study.
Oh
you
can
oh
yeah
I
see
what
we're
doing.
AD
Thank
you
Jada,
and
you
can
stay
in
that
presentation.
If
that's
okay,.
F
AD
So,
thank
you.
Everybody
for
having
me
I
work
in
the
same
practice
as
Jada
and
let
efforts
around
our
staffing
assessment
and
our
goal
was
to
look
at
your
organizational
structure
and
Staffing
levels,
conduct
a
benchmarking
analysis
using
data
from
both
nearby
comparables,
as
well
as
industry
data
for
all
of
the
available
Department
functions
that
we
have.
You
can
Define
data.
AD
So
we
used
five
peer
communities
for
benchmarking
and
organizational
structure,
both
the
organizational
structure
and
your
Staffing
levels,
and
then
we
used
industry
benchmarks
from
some
very
well
recognized
sources
for
benchmarking
and
I
will
say
when
we
do
benchmarking,
you
know
it's
we
don't
ever
just
say
this
is
The
Benchmark
and
that's
what
your
Staffing
level
should
be.
We
understand
that
every
Community
is
different.
So
as
part
of
this,
we
also
did
several
focus
group
sessions
and
got
really
great
representation
from
multiple
leaders
and
staff
within
the
within
the
city.
AD
In
every
Department
that
we
looked
at
combined
with
the
work
that
Jada
and
her
team
were
doing,
we
get
a
really
well-rounded
picture
of
your
staff
between
needs
and
your
organizational
needs.
AD
So
what
we've
found
was
really
a
need
to
increase
Staffing
levels
across
your
departments,
mostly
to
allow
for
additional
management
capacity.
We
found
that
you
know.
Throughout
the
years,
Staffing
levels
had
been
reduced
to
a
level
where
you
know
how
quite
a
bit
of
compression.
So
you
have
very
high-level
individuals,
Department
directors,
managers,
supervisors
really
doing
some
very
tactical
operational
work,
and
so
our
recommendations
are
really
focused
around
adding
positions
that
allows
for
you
to
focus
on
more
strategic
things
for
allows
for
you
to
focus
on.
AD
You
know,
priorities
of
both
the
council
and
the
expectations
of
your
citizens
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
Jada.
AD
So,
just
to
highlight
some
of
these
for
administrative
Services
we're
recommending
an
additional
five
full-time,
equivalent
employees,
three
of
those
being
within
facilities
and
Fleet.
So
we
actually
looked
at
the
amount
of
equipment
and
vehicles
that
they
were
maintaining.
We
applied
an
industry
Benchmark
to
that
as
well
as
looked
at
comparables
and
the
needs
there
are
really
adding
an
additional
lead
mechanic
and
two
equipment,
mechanics
in
the
parking
area,
really
an
administrative
assistant
to
help
with
contract
management.
AD
Purchasing
things
like
that
and
the
goal
of
this
position
is
that
that
would
be
a
shared
position
with
facilities
and
fleets,
so
one
Administrative
Assistant
to
support
both
of
those
departments
and
then
in
addition
of
a
it
manager.
So
when
we
looked
at
comparables,
you
really
had
a
much
smaller
amount
of
mid-level
it
managers,
and
this
would
really
allow
the
department
to
focus
on
more
pressing
issues
like
cyber
security
and
and
accessibility,
and
things
like
that.
AD
So
really
key
position
there
and
then
going
over
to
Parks
and
Recreation,
adding
an
assistant
director
again
looking
at
the
comparables,
you
were
missing
that
piece
of
the
puddle
puzzle
in
terms
of
management
there,
as
well
as
a
management
analyst
and
so
really
allowing
that
department.
As
you
all
know,
you
have
a
very
robust
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
and
allowing
that
department
to
really
focus
in
on
Reviving.
Some
programming
really
focus
in
on
budgetary
analysis
and
data
analysis
around
citizen
needs
and
demands.
AD
Okay
and
then
moving
over
to
the
city
manager's
office,
having
an
administrative
assistant
in
that
department,
there's
currently
no
administrative
assistant
capacity
there
and
so
adding
that
in
as
well
as
a
grant
manager.
AD
So
the
recommendation
here
was
to
move
grants
management
as
a
function
into
the
city
manager's
office,
just
to
give
it
a
more
organization,
wide
view
and
prioritization
and
then,
in
addition,
add
a
grants
manager
to
help
take
advantage
of
the
amount
of
funding
that
is
that
is
available
right
now
and
to
manage
that
in
a
strategic
way
for
the
city
and
then
looking
at
Finance,
adding
an
accounts,
receivable
FTE,
just
from
the
capacity
standpoint,
there,
that's
warranted,
as
well
as
being
able
to
backfill
and
cross-train,
with
the
single
accounts
payable
position
that
you
have
at
the
city
right
now
to
really
provide
you
some
a
little
bit
of
redundancy
there
and
then
to
add
a
financial
analyst
with
a
city
your
size
and
of
your
complexity.
AD
It's
really
would
be
common
to
have
a
financial
analyst
to
help
with
things
like
forecasting,
budget
control
and
strategic
sort
of
data
analysis
for
your
departments
and
then
Human
Resources,
adding
a
recruitment
and
retention
specialist.
So,
as
we
know,
it's
you
know,
and
as
evidenced
by
some
of
the
compensation
work
that
that
Jada
and
her
team
are
being
asked
to
do.
AD
Recruitment
and
Retention
is
very
important
right
now,
right,
your
personnel
or
you're,
probably
your
biggest
line
item,
and
so
really
adding
that
position
to
be
able
to
increase
the
capacity
of
that
department
and
focus
on
a
really
strategic
area.
For
you.
AD
I
think
Trina
and
then
our
last
recommendation
outside
of
the
Staffing,
was
to
and
I
know
that
you
had
gone
out
to
RFP
for
this
earlier
in
the
year,
but
to
really
work
on
developing
a
city-wide
strategic
plan
so
that
you
can
really
align
your
priorities
and
that
way
the
city
manager
can
help
guide
the
direction
for
the
city
departments
so
that
they
have.
You
know
they
feel
that
they
have
unified
goals
to
work
towards
and
that
they
know
where
their
Department
fits
into
the
overall
Citywide
strategic
goals.
G
Thank
you.
I
I
really
appreciate
our
leadership,
City
leadership
in
in
the
baker
Tilly
team,
both
Megan
and
our
city
manager
and
previous
city
manager
and
the
baker
Tilly
team.
For
this
analysis,
I,
don't
think
I
blanked
out
any
moment,
but
what
was
the
cost?
If
we
were
to
adopt
your
recommendations
here,
it
seems
like
it'd,
be
about
15
or
so
staff
10
to
15
new
positions.
G
Okay
and
so
I
guess
this
is
a
question
that
manager
Stowe
is:
are
you
taking
their
recommendations
and
placing
all
of
those
recommendations
into
the
budget.
H
Good
evening
mayor
members
of
city
council,
Luke,
Stowe
city
manager,
I,
you
know
we
had
some
discussions
earlier
today
at
the
staff
presentation
as
well
about
that
I
I
think
there
are
needs
above
and
beyond
the
14
or
15
that
Baker
Tilly
has
highlighted
I.
Think
the
key
is
that
Baker
Tilly's
analysis
looking
at
the
five
comparable
municipalities
that
they
identified
these
as
the
most
compelling
argument,
I
mean
these
14
or
15
positions
in
particular.
My
guess
is
off
the
top
of
my
head.
H
G
G
Why
you
know
I
I
think
you
know
it
is.
Certainly
we
are
in
a
metropolitan
market,
but
I
think,
as
we
saw
I,
think
with
our
city
manager,
search
and
other
searches
that
we've
done,
we're
not
just
competing
with
Skokie
or
will
matter
in
our
neighboring
communities.
We're
commit
competing
with
communities
like
Evanston,
Across,
the
Nation
and
I
would
love
to
see
us.
G
You
know
in
the
future,
as
we
engage
in
this
process
again,
look
at
communities
similar
to
Evanston,
but
maybe
in
another
state
you
know,
and
and
in
other
other
areas,
as
as
you
know,
kind
of
our
competitors,
because
I
think
some
of
our
particularly
our
executive
level
and
director
level
positions
we
could
be
pulling
folks
from
from
Across
the
Nation
I
think
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
remaining
competitive,
not
just
regionally
but
nationally
I
mean
that
was
really.
G
My
I
wanted
a
cost
estimate,
particularly
for
the
high
priority
positions.
I,
do
think
his
manager
so
said
there
are
a
whole
host
of
positions.
That
I
think
we
would
like
to
add,
and
we
have
to
be
able
to
prioritize
I.
Think
I
agree
particularly
I
mean
I,
think
it's
likely
all
needed
a
trusted
analysis,
but
particularly
the
the
positions
that
were
in
the
High
I,
don't
know
what
you
were
to
use,
but
in
the
City.
G
Exactly
and
the
high
priority
category
that
that
those
positions
are
definitely
positions
that
that
I'd
love
to
see
include
in
the
budget
that
I
think
we
desperately
need
in
the
budget
in
the
medium
position,
medium
priority
positions,
you
know,
I
I,
think
I'll,
leave
that
up
to
the
disgust
or
to
the
Judgment
of
our
city,
manager
and
City
staff,
but
certainly
want
to
see
those
high
high
priority
positions.
I
I
fully
agree
that
those
those
are
what
we
need.
B
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I'm,
seeing
that
the
the
high
priority
recommendations
are
in
three
departments.
Those
three
departments
did
not
include:
Public
Safety,
Public,
Works,
Library,
some
other
departments.
Did
you
look
at
those
other
departments
as
well,
and
so
they
were
part
of
the
analysis
and
you've
identified
these
priorities
which
happen
to
be
in
these
three
departments.
Y
I
mean
we've
been:
we've
had
a
lot
of
loss
of
Staff
over
the
last
few
years
and
I'm
wondering
whether
some
of
these
positions
used
to
be
filled,
and
we
just
need
to
get
back
to
filling
them
up
again
or
are
some
of
these?
Actually
a
new
really
additions
to
Staffing
levels
that
we
didn't
have
before.
H
I
I
think
I
can
speak
to
that
if
you'd,
like
a
number
of
them,
are
positions
that
we
used
to
have
that
were
eliminated
over
the
past
decade
and
we're
looking
to
refill
those
positions
and
I.
Just
want
also
want
to
remind
the
last
classification
compensation
study
that
we
did
was
back
in
2012
and
that
study
was
not
largely
implemented
either
and
I
probably
would
ask
Miss
Kent
what
she
thinks
is
a
recommended
Cadence
for
implementing
compensation
classification
studies,
yeah.
AB
To
do
a
full
class
and
comp
every
five
to
seven
years,
if
you
keep
up
with
your
Market
adjustments
and
your
Merit,
then
that
next
five
to
seven
years
won't
hurt
as
much
so
but
to
make
sure
you're
recalibrating
everything
every
five
to
seven
years.
Unless
you
have
a
lot
of
changes
all
at
once,
then
probably
a
little
sooner.
A
No
one
else
is
seeking
to
speak
for
the
first
time,
so
we'll
go
back
for
a
second
around
beginning
with
council
member
new
Smith
with
four
and
a
half
minutes
left.
Thank.
B
You
Mr
Mayor,
so
you're
recommending
19
grade
pay
plan.
How
does
that
compare
to
what
we
have
now?
What.
AB
You
have
now
is
a
lot
of
different
pay
plans.
Some
have
step
plans,
I
mean.
Obviously
you
have
to
work
with
the
unions
to
make
sure
this
is
going
to
work
for
them
as
well,
but
there's
a
lot
less
Administration
number
one.
Everybody
is
in
the
same
pay
plan
a
lot,
less
ambiguity
about
who
gets
what,
when,
where
why
everybody
gets
the
Merit
increase?
Okay,
you
know
their
scale
and
every
the
scale
moves
the
whole
everybody
gets
the
same
thing.
So
there's
just
a
lot
more
equality.
B
G
Thank
you,
so
I
I
asked
earlier
the
cost
for
new
positions.
I
guess
I
also
left
out
the
other
question
of
the
cost
to
bring
Folks
up
to
to
to
their
proper
pay
scale,
to
parity
with
what
they
would
be
you
know,
maybe
receiving
in
the
market
elsewhere.
Do
you
happen
to
have
that
estimate.
AB
D
AB
Everyone
else
would
retain
their
existing
salary
in
that
plan
and
I
want
to
point
out
those
676
employees
that
are
already
falling
within
means.
The
city's
been
doing
a
relatively
good
job
at
keeping
Pace
with
the
market,
because
there's
not
more
people
who
fell
below.
G
And
then
the
other
plant,
so
there's
261
000
for
one
and
then
what
what's
the
other
option.
G
Oh,
thank
you.
G
Oh,
and
and
what
is
well
since
my
time
didn't
see
it
I
did
give
it
up,
but
since
it's
still
here,
what
is
the
absolute?
What
are
we,
what
are,
what
is
our
lowest
paid
employee,
making.
G
Do
you
have
any
and
I
asked
this,
because
I
would
love
to
see
the
floor,
raise
I,
I,
think
as
a
municipality,
we
shouldn't
be
paying
certainly
below
a
living
wage
to
any
Resident
and
put
in
referral
to
set
the
cities.
Our
own
internal
minimum
wage
at
at
a
living
wage
and
I'd
like
to
see
us
make
sure
that
you
know
even
for
the
lowest
paid
employees,
the
folks
that
we
would
traditionally
pay
minimum
wage.
They
were
giving
them
at
least
a
minimum,
a
living
wage.
AA
I
would
wager
to
Guess
that
our
lowest
paid
employees
were
not
contemplated
in
this
survey.
The
survey
included
full-time
employees
and
permanent
part-time.
A
lot
of
our
temporary
and
seasonal
staff
would
be
generally
receiving
compensation
at
a
different
rate.
That's
absolutely
something
that
we
hope
to
extrapolate
from
the
scope
of
the
survey,
but
in
order
to
keep
the
cost
of
Performing
this
survey
down,
we
limited
the
scope
of
what
we
could
analyze.
G
Okay
and
then
last
question
because
councilmember
news
Mass
this:
why
was
the
police
department
and
fire
department
not
included
in
the
Staffing
analysis.
AA
AA
G
You
and
then,
as
my
time
has
probably
up,
has
Baker
Tilly
has
Baker
Tilly
done
a
conducted,
a
a
staffing
review
for
Public
Safety
departments
for
police
departments.
AD
Yes,
we
have.
We
have
Public
Safety
experts
that
we
use
as
part
of
our
project
team,
to
conduct
those
studies.
G
AD
Yeah
sometimes
sometimes
we
it
can
go
either
way
and
it
really
depends
on
the
service
level
expectations
of
the
community.
So
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
play,
especially
with
sworn
police.
Okay,.
AD
Z
AA
A
AC
Thank
you
is
that
have
we
were
you
able
to?
Is
there
a
document
that
I
can
look
through
that,
and
maybe
it's
this
but
explains
how
those
higher
priorities
stat,
how
those
higher
priorities
Staffing
decisions
were
made,
or
why?
How
Etc.
AF
AC
Or
like
community
and
development,
is
what
I'm
really
interested
in
for
many
reasons
so
does
it
does.
AC
AC
Priority
areas
and
why
they
were
lower
priority,
or
does
it
just
focus
on
why
the
higher
party
wants,
with
the
target.
AD
A
Seeing
no
further
discussion
will
the
clerk
please
take
the
role.
A
G
AG
File
report
regarding
arpa
funds,
Capital
Improvement
fund
and
the

fund
balance
second,.
A
Councilmember
wind
moves
that
we
accept
and
replace
on
file
that
these
staff
updates
council
member
news
seconds
and
now
we
have
I
believe
a
presentation.
Is
that
correct.
AE
Good
evening
mayor
city,
council,
members
and
clerk
Mendoza
City
manager,
arpa
update,
it's
been
a
while
since
we've
gone
through
here
and
talked
about.
What's.
AE
Just
want
to
point
out
that
that
includes
two
two
items
that
were
on
the
agenda
for
tonight,
so
that
these
are
allocated
or
requested,
which
is
the
privately
owned
portion
of
lead
service
line
replacement
and
the
508
000
for
the
Street
plus
business
district.
The
other
amount
that
it
includes
is
a
request
for
the
welcoming
Center
that
will
be
coming
to
council
later,
but
is
moving
through
the
Housing
and
Community
Development.
Committee.
Excuse
me:
no,
the
social
services
committee
wrong
one.
AE
It
also
includes
3.5
million
of
participatory
budgeting
as
allocated,
although
it
has
not
been
allocated
to
specific
activities.
That's
in
progress.
AE
AE
An
important
thing
we
also
did
was
we
calculated
our
lost
revenue
for
2021.
Now
the
importance
of
lost
revenue?
Is
it
changes,
or
in
this
case
it
increases
the
amount
of
money
that
we
have
in
the
replacement
Revenue
category
from
we
had
estimated
twelve
thousand
twelve
million
five
hundred
thousand.
It
was
actually
a
little
over
that
for
2020,
but
we
got
another
about
7.9
million
calculated
in
2021,
so
the
total
replacement
Revenue
we
can
use
is
21
million
one
hundred
twenty
two
thousand
one
hundred
and
seventy
eight
dollars.
AE
We
treasury
hasn't
monitored
anybody
as
far
as
I
can
tell
from
what
everybody
said,
but
they
could
monitor
people
and
or
or
municipalities,
and
decide
that
some
of
the
things
we
did
don't
fit
in
the
categories
we
put
them
in.
Well.
If
we
have
a
cushion
in
Revenue
replacement,
then
it's
Revenue
replacement,
then
we're
fine.
AE
There
are
a
few
other
flexibilities.
They
changed
the
way
they
are
looking
at
impacted
and
disparately
impacted
people.
So
it
gives
us
more
flexibility.
In
the
in
the
way
they
outlined
the
categories,
it
makes
it
clear
that
we
have
different
flexibilities
on
how
we
fund
certain
things,
which
could
include
housing
programs.
AE
It
also
means
that,
with
that
replacement,
Revenue
category,
if
there's
a
need
to
do
2023
budget
balancing
as
there
was
in
2022,
we
would
be
able
to
do
that
on
July,
25th
treasury
came
out
with
a
six-page
memo,
shortest
thing
I've
ever
seen
from
treasury
on
this,
about
changes
in
housing
and
how
we
can
use
money
for
housing.
Lo
and
behold,
they
decided
that
long-term
loans
actually
work
for
housing.
AE
Now
understand
that
the
loans
can,
especially
when
combined
with
tax
credits
or
some
specific
other
enumerated
Federal
program,
there's
no
question
that
we
can
use
long-term
loans
and
their
very
specific
affordability
periods
of
requirement
and
also
the
length
of
the
loan
period.
So
that
gives
us
greater
flexibility
there,
which
should
make
our
lives
much
easier
if
we're
layering
funding
in
with
tax
credits
or
anything
like
that,
they
also
allowed
pre-development
costs,
including
property
acquisition
for
affordable
housing,
which
was
not
itemized
or
enumerated
at
all.
AE
Before,
as
I
mentioned,
they
did
away
with
the
disparately
impacted
communities.
Category
and
many
of
those
items
moved
into
other
categories.
Most
of
them
went
into
negative
economic
impact
and
they
created
a
new
Public
Health
negative
economic
impact,
public
sector
capacity,
category,
which
is
quite
a
mouthful.
What
that
allowed
is
when
we're
rehiring
Public
Service
staff
that
doesn't
have
to
come
out
of
replacement
Revenue
anymore.
AE
It
comes
out
of
this
eligible
category,
so
all
of
this
stuff
is
moved
around
five
activities
moved
from
disparately
impacted
communities,
one
went
to
Public
Health
and
that's
the
youth
violence
intervention.
A
number
went
to
negative
economic
impacts,
that
was
the
McGaw
YMC
residence
renovation,
One-Stop
shop,
family
focused
rehab,
and
the
welcoming
Center
would
be.
There
talked
about
the
new
Public
Health
public
sector
capacity
that
moved
out
of
rehiring
public
staff
replacement
revenue,
and
we
had
another
thing
come
up.
AE
We
got
an
earmark
for
solar
installations,
but
with
the
earmark
came
a
match,
how
inconvenient?
How
are
we
going
to
come
up
with
half
a
million
dollar
match?
Well,
we
figured
out
because
this
is
for
solar
installations,
largely
on
affordable
housing.
We
can
put
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
our
already
approved
One-Stop
shop
funding
into
Revenue
replacement
where
it
serves
as
the
match.
That's
the
only
way
you
can
do
a
match
for
federal
programs
with
other
Federal
money.
AE
We
also
I'm
recommending
that
the
ledge
service
line
replacement
money
that
was
allocated
was
a
million
dollars
for
buying
equipment
to
put
in
the
city
owned
portion
of
the
lead
service
line,
be
moved
into
replacement
Revenue
because
it
involves
acquiring
Capital
Equipment
and
when
you
acquire
Capital
Equipment,
you
are
supposed
to
get
the
approval
of
the
agency
through
whom
the
fund
is
funding
is
coming
before
you
do
that
we
I
emailed
treasury
with
all
the
details
and
why
it
made
perfect
sense,
because
we
had
12
000,
lead
service
lines
to
replace,
even
after
the
period
of
of
performance,
and
one
of
the
reasons
that
the
federal
government
doesn't
like
this
kind
of
capital
investment,
this
Capital
equipment
purchase.
AE
Is
they
don't
know
how
it's
going
to
be
used
after
the
period
of
performance
of
the
grant?
So
they
really
don't.
They
would
rather
we
rent
vehicles
or
lease
them
that
doesn't
really
make
any
sense.
In
our
situation,
but
treasury
wouldn't
respond
with
anything
other
than
providing
us
the
guidance
that
they'd
given
us
on
Treasury
stuff.
They
didn't
answer
a
question,
so
my
recommendation
is
just
to
move
it
there,
so
they
can't
disqualify
it.
AE
We
deleted
two
funded
activities.
We
had
575
thousand
dollars
for
contract
tracing,
but
Ike
and
his
troops
got
money
through
the
state
and
the
counties.
So
at
this
time
we
don't
see
a
need
for
that
and
the
match
that
was
for
the
or
Chicago
orington
streetscape.
We
did
not
get
that
Grant
so
that
match
went
away
so
that
was
about
440
000.,
so
it
resulted
in-
and
this
is
just
a
summary
kind
of
new
categories
as
I
see.
This
is
for
reporting
purposes.
AE
We
can
still
consider
the
funding
as
we've
but
allocated
it
in
our
own
plan,
but
I
wanted
to
show
you
how
it
actually
will
show
up
as
we
report
to
Treasury.
So
if
all
of
the
things
that
are
in
the
pipeline
are
approved,
we
have
9940
483
dollars
left
to
allocate
any
questions.
A
A
Usual
to
say
something:
he
did
the
thing
where
he
waited
for
someone
else
to
go.
First:
okay,.
AC
AE
Well,
I
did
get
an
email
from
another
department
that
I
haven't
really
had
a
chance
to
look
at
yet
that
has
to
do
with
a
potential
another
Workforce
Development
thing.
There
are
other
projects
that
have
been
discussed
but
are
not
in
a
position
where
we've
actually
done
a
great
deal
of
assessment
with
them.
AE
I
think
there
are
always
people
who
have
other
ideas
on
how
we're
going
to
spend
it,
but
none
that
have
been
specifically
brought
forward
in
the
form
of
memos
and
things
to
bring
to
council.
Yet.
G
The
the
reason
I
deferred
is
because
I
thought
we
were
also
going
to
discuss
not
just
arpa,
but
our
general
fund,
so
I
do
have
a
few
questions.
Thank
you.
Sarah
for
the
presentation
on
on
arpa,
councilmanusman
and
I
were
just
discussing
this
at
his
Ward
meeting,
so
we
were
a
little
off.
We
were
a
few
million
dollars
off.
G
We
we've
got
we've
spent
and
allocated
a
little
bit
more
than
I
think
we
projected
at
your
award
meeting,
but
we
still
got
a
a
good
chunk
left
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
we
also
have
some
wiggle
room
with
a
revenue
replacement,
because
I
think
that's
going
to
be
critical
for
the
city
moving
forward,
but
turning
to
our
general
fund
and
our
budget
team,
because
that's
a
part
of
this
actually.
AH
No
there's
three
items
on
this,
so
we
only
got
through
the
first
one
and
the
next
one
would
be
the
capital
Improvement
fund
reserves
and
then
the
general
fund.
AF
I,
don't
actually
have
a
presentation,
but
if
somebody
had
any
questions,
I
will
say
that
next
week
we
have
a
special
city
council
meeting
that
is
scheduled
to
delve
more
into
Capital
fund
issues.
D
W
W
W
Thank
you
Anderson.
So
this
is
the
kind
of
the
real
numbers
general
fund
fund,
balance,
I,
think
even
I
included
this
Slide
the
few
months
back
in
I
think
the
media
financials.
W
So
we
have
like,
if
you
see
the
numbers
right
there,
total
fund
balance
as
of
20
21,
31
million
our
requirement
of
16.66.
So
we
took
that
out
a
million
dollar
which
is
used
as
a
fund
balance,
which
is
not
a
true
Revenue.
So
we
say
yeah
we
have
a
10.7
access
as
of
December
31st,
which
is
the
audit
report
audited.
W
Numbers
and
Council
has
approved
those
following
few
items:
transfer
to
CIP
fund
for
waste,
Transfer
CIP
for
maintenance,
fire
truck
purchase,
backpack
Improvement
and
solid
waste,
one
million
dollars
so
that
we
can
minimize
the
increase
in
the
solid
waste
form.
So
those
are
the
some
of
the
items
and
obviously
you
have
seen
the
baker
Tilly.
We
have
so
much
uncertainty
about
the
personal
cost
because
of
the
staff
analysis,
compensation,
analysis,
Union
contracts.
W
W
Last
year
we
balanced
the
budget
by
using
4.25
million
as
a
revenue
from
our
perform
to
general
fund,
so
that
is
the
one
of
the
consideration.
Besides
the
obviously
the
any
projects
in
the
water
for
under
sewer
fund,
which
can
fall
in
any
what
you
call
the
unrestricted
category
to
use
the
art
of
one.
But
this
is
the
one
of
the
big
thing
whether
we
will
have
arpa
funds
available
to
use
to
balance
the
general
fund
for
23..
W
This
is
the
fund
balance
policy.
I
mean
a
while
I
was
looking
at
it
and
I
know.
This
was
a
lot
discussed,
10
12
years
back
when
post
recession
in
2008
nine
and
so
many
communities
kind
of
that
revised
that
time
and
I
was
looking
in
the
last
week
we
are
16.66
Bartlett
2535,
235
percent,
Schaumburg,
40,
Naperville,
20,
half
minutes
to
25
this
planes,
25
and
nice
40..
So
I
think
we
are
at
the
kind
of
you
know,
lowest
end
and
I.
W
Now
this
is
the
scenario
just
one
thing
different
from
the
previous
slide:
that
okay,
if
we
go
to
the
minimum
number
which
we
saw
earlier,
that
Naperville
had
20
percent
and
quite
a
bit
communities
at
20,
25
percent,
we
need
to
save
extra
3.9
million
to
bring
it
to
a
3.9
million
out
of
that
10.7
million
excess
as
of
December
31st.
If
the
council
thinks
that
okay,
we
should
change
policy
to
a
20
of
our
general
phone
expenses.
W
On
July
30
22,
the
numbers
I
think
I
did
media
I
just
had
updated
for
one
more
month.
We
are
doing
pretty
good
fund
balance
as
of
July
47
million.
Obviously,
a
lot
of
revenues
have
come
earlier
in
the
part
because
of
the
spring
summer
you
know,
including
the
building
permits,
transfer
tax
property,
tax,
first
installment
and
even
in
Parks
and
Recreation.
You
have
most
of
the
revenues
the
last
few
months.
W
This
is
just
a
kind
of
trending
high
you'll
see
a
lot
of
revenues,
doing
pretty
good
athletic
tax.
Guess
it
is
income
tax,
transfer,
tax
person,
revenues
on
track
sales,
tax,
home
rule
sales,
tax
use
tax.
They
are
kind
of
it.
You
know
just
little
above
or
maybe
I
would
say
on
track.
You
know,
but
we'll
have
a
better
picture
after
we
get
some
of
those
later
months
and
trending
low
in
the
telecommunication
tax
property
taxes.
Obviously,
because
we
don't
know
the
future
of
the
second
installment
and
the
motor
fuel
still.
W
This
is
the
projection
that
okay,
you
know
based
on
now
and
looking
at
the
three
months
like
a
little
bit,
so
you
would
see
that
revenues.
We
would
still
do
a
lot
better
at
107
and
some
of
them
would
be
a
lot
better
at
113.
108
percent
expenses
would
be
like
pretty
close
one
or
one
percentage,
and
we
could
have
a
surplus
of
seven
million
dollar
for
this
year.
2022.
W
Fourier
projections:
now
this
is
the
thing
and
I
we
heard
in
the
past
last
year,
I
think
we
presented
three-year
projections,
finance
and
budget
committee.
We
have
a
good
discussions
about
the
long-term
projections,
and
so
what
we
did
here
I
think
this
is
a
little
kind
of
a
clumsy,
but
we
try
to
put
it
in
here
and
we
use
that
seven
million
surplus-
and
we
say
okay,
how
we
do
that.
So
the
very
last
line
you
see
general
fund
balance
access.
W
If
you
can
read
that
which
starts
with
11.9
million,
then
18
million,
then
10
million
11
million
looks
good
that
okay,
we
are
trending
a
bow
and,
as
you
see,
if
you
go
into
2024
and
25,
we
are
running
even
in
25
negative
numbers.
Obviously
this
is
based
on
the
Assumption,
which
you
would
see
on
the
red
that
assume
increase
for
all
expenses
at
three
percent
and
all
revenues
at
two
percent
except
property
tax.
So
we
are
thinking
that
okay,
our
corporate
Levy
and
general
fund
would
stay
flat.
W
We
won't
increase
that
for
the
next
three
years,
but
so
this
is
the
kind
of
here
I
mean
city
council.
Should
kind
of
look
at
long
term,
particularly
with
the
goal
of
stable
finances
that
where
we
would
in
the
next
three
four
years
in
the
other
scenario,
the
highlighted
one
I
said:
okay,
if
we
don't
do
7
million,
maybe
we
have
some
little
bit.
You
know
more
expenses
because
of
the
snow,
some
contingencies
and
we
just
end
up
with
a
5
million
surplus
in
2022.
W
So
the
numbers
would
you
would
see
is
at
the
last
line
that
how
much
we
would
be
in
excess
of
that
and
the
line
before
that.
You
know
you
would
see
the
numbers
it
are
roughly
Changed
by
two
million.
It
went
down
same
thing,
the
little
better
than
what
we
estimate
right
now.
Okay,
how
about
if
we
end
up
with
a
10
million
dollar
Surplus
this
year,
and
you
would
see
the
numbers.
But
again,
the
important
numbers
are
the
last
couple
of
columns
what
would
happen
in
25
26?
W
This
Is,
the
personal
cost
I
mean
you
saw
some
of
those
things.
I
mean
the
general
fund.
2020
to
budgeted
cost
is
74..
W
Now
when
I
say
this
is
everything
wages
over
time
all
kinds
of
overtimes
FICA
Medicare
all
benefits
like
we
have
almost
15
different
line
items
and
that's
the
budgeted
numbers
and
if
I
put
the
overall
increase
three
percent
four
percent
and
again
when
I,
say,
increase,
means
matching
with
the
market
Cola
everything
just
to
give
you
an
idea
that
okay,
overall
increase
comes
down
to
say
three
percent
of
our
22
budget
or
four
percent.
W
You
would
see
that
and
then
I
added
two
different
scenarios
that
okay,
if
we
have
15
new
position
as
a
hundred
thousand
average
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
or
twenty
five
position
at
a
hundred
thousand
average,
what
would
be
the
so
the
last
number,
which
would
give
you
the
total
number,
with
increase
for
25
position
and
right
before
that
in
the
board,
you
would
see
total
with
all
increases
with
the
15
position.
So
you
will
see
that
in
general
fund,
22
budget
is
74.
W
if
we
go
with
three
percent
increase
minimum,
and
that
includes
everything
you
know
with
the
pensions
and
benefits
and
we
had
15
new
position
as
roughly
a
million
dollar,
the
cost
would
go
up
to
78.2
million
from
74.5
million
dollars,
so
roughly
total
increase
is
roughly
around
3.7
million
dollars
and
that's
why
I
put
the
three
four
five
six
percent
overall
sales
Council
gives
and
I
get
an
idea.
W
So
many
major
items.
Yes,
one
of
the
things
which
I
have
highlighted.
Second
installment
of
properties,
tax
I
still
don't
know,
and
that's
why
we
have
a
line
of
cried
items
through
finance
and
budget,
so
we'll
keep
it
that
open
in
case.
We
need
to
use
it
and
when
we
need
it
and
how
much
second
thing,
which
I
just
brought
it
up
arpa
fund
is
a
transfer
to
general
fund
parking
and
Equipment
replacement
for
23
budget.
That's
how
we
kind
of
you
know
balanced
our
budget.
W
Last
year
or
this
year,
22
general
fund.
We
gave
some
money
to
parking
and
obviously
equipment
replacement
for
for
the
vehicle
inflationary
Trend,
resulting
in
higher
tax
revenues.
These
revenues
could
go
down,
and
this
is
kind
of
we
have
talked
about
when
we
meet
in
the
finance
directors
or
others
that
yes,
some
of
the
sales
tax
use
tax
looking
so
great.
But
if
this
comes
down
to
a
normal
inflation
of
two
and
a
half
three
percent,
those
revenues
could
fall
maintenance
items
yeah.
So
we
continue
to
like
look
at
that
where
we
can.
W
You
know,
get
this
like
we.
For
this
year
we
moved
almost
a
million
dollar
expense
out
of
the
CIP,
but
now
what
that
means
is.
It
has
gone
into
the
general
front
side,
personal
cost
for
23.
We
talked
about
that.
Sometimes
we
have
a
payment
for
legal
settlements,
land
Building
purchase.
You
know
we
see
I
mean
you
would
know
a
couple
of
big
settlements.
They
are
coming
in
the
pipeline.
E
Thank
you.
We.
W
A
We'll
go
back
then,
to
council
member
Reed
with
four
and
a
half
minutes
left.
Thank.
G
You
so
I
I
I,
remember
the
47
million
from
the
mid-year
update.
Do
you
have
do
you
have
the
the
number,
including
August
now
I.
W
G
Next
week,
we'll
have
the
numbers
for
that
okay
question
that
I
had
was.
Why
do
you
assume
a
two
percent
Revenue
increase
and
a
three
percent
expense
increase,
so
I
get
I?
Guess
you
answered
the
three
percent
expense?
That's
your
cost
of
living
Cola!
All
of
that.
So
why
just
two
percent
in
Revenue
increase?
Where
did
that
assumption?
Come
from.
W
Again,
the
sales
tax
and
all
thing
in
the
past.
If
you
look
at
last
10
15
years,
we
have
even
lost
the
revenues
and
big
time
after
2008
sales
tax
use
tax.
All
those
activities
you
know
and
most
of
our
revenues
are
tied
to
the
economic
activity
economy.
You
know.
So
if
we
lose
that
I
mean
we
might
have
some
reductions
there,
but
still
I'm,
projecting
that.
G
Has
has
some
of
our
sales
tax
revenue
been
accounted
for
in
the
use
tax
from
the
state?
No.
P
G
W
I
mean
that's
like
a
lot
of
what
you
call
technical
things.
The
way
the
state
have
changed
the
laws,
and
this
is
some
of
those
things
like
if
you
order
something
online
and
Amazon
ships
it
something
from
Kentucky
to
you
here.
Can
cookie
gets
the
text,
but
if
they
ship
it
from
outside
of
the
Illinois,
then
the
Evanston
gets
the
tax.
Okay.
G
G
We
need
a
warehouse
on
Howard
Street
to
get
us
some
of
that
revenue
and
ship
it
right
out
of
Evanston.
Okay,
I
have
another
question
so
that
thank
you
that
that's
helpful,
helpful
information,
so
you
mentioned
there
that
some
communities
forget
start
I,
don't
know
there.
We
go,
for
example,
Schomburg
or
Niles
that
they
they
Reserve
40
of
their
general
fund
and.
G
W
W
and
they
say:
okay,
we
just
got
to
save
and
now
see
the
thing
where
they
held
them
like
in
2020.
We
lost
the
revenues
right.
So
obviously
we
have
to
look
on
the
expense
side,
the
all
the
non-unions,
the
union
people
most
of
the
Union
people.
We
took
the
follow
days,
Skokie
didn't
do
that.
I
mean
I
talked
to
five
different
Finance
directors.
We
are
not
taking
any
followers
because
we
have
40
fund
balance
and
we
are
going
to
draw
upon
that.
W
So
that's
where
yeah,
that
kind
of
those
kind
of
things
happen
and
particularly
yeah.
The
kovid
was
yes.
Maybe
we
would
say
that
once
in
a
lifetime
or
once
in
a
century
but
recession
I
mean
that
could
hit.
You
know
that
it's
the
up
and
down
cycle.
If
you
see
the
last
50
years
so
it
could
come
back
in
10
years
and
we
might
have
to
have
the
money
so.
W
G
Okay,
you
think
the
new
goal
should
be
20
percent.
I
think
was
the
16
before
your
time
or
was
that
during
your
time
even.
G
G
And
then
so
when,
when
you
say,
because
earlier
in
the
year
and
and
I'm
I'm
hoping
your
earlier
projection
was
right
that
we
might
end
the
year
off
with
roughly
30
to
35
million
in
in
the
bank.
Are
you
still
is
that?
Are
you
still
in
that
realm?
If
that's,
what
we're
going
to
end
up
with.
W
So
this
is
that's
where
I
took
the
scenarios
here.
This
is
the
one
with
the
7
million.
You
know
that
if
we
end
up
20
22
with
the
7
million,
what
would
be
our
excess
fund
balance,
which
would
be
20.
G
W
G
G
W
G
W
G
W
G
W
G
W
What
you're
talking
about
like
okay,
two
different
things
and
every
number
has
its
own
value
like
if
I
say:
okay,
we
ended
the
general
fund
with
7
million
the
next
thing,
at
least
in
our
financial.
We
talk
about
okay,
then
he
says
what
is
your
fund
balance?
That
means
what
is
your
cumulative
number?
Seven
million?
Is
your
operating
Surplus
for
that
one
year,
but
what
is
the
fund
balance
and
then,
as
of
now
I
say?
Yes,
I
have
a
fun
balance
of
47
million,
which
I'm
like
showing
at
the
July
numbers
right.
W
It's
right
here
yeah!
So
if
you
see
here
what
is
the
difference
year
to
date,
net
16.4
right
now
as
of
July,
that
is
the
operating
Surplus
versus
47
million,
is
a
fund
balance
sure.
But
again,
when
I
come
to
this
47
million
numbers.
Obviously
it
is
based
on
the
Assumption
of
the
same
number
as
of
21,
but
you
have
already
approved,
like
I,
think
four
million
dollar
you
know
so
yeah,
assuming
that
you
won't
spend
any
more
out
of
the
excelia
front
balance.
G
G
Yeah
we
can
talk
offline,
but
I
guess
the
point
I'm
really
trying
to
make
here
is
that
you
know
we
may
have
a
seven
million
dollar
and
that's
on
five
to
seven
million
and
that's
on
the
more
conservative
and
operating
Surplus,
but
our
actual
Surplus,
our
actual,
what's
in
the
bank,
is
going
to
be
significantly
more,
maybe
18
million
dollars
in
actual
Surplus.
If
we're
operating
off
of
the
16.66
number-
and
you
know,
potentially
you
know-
it'd
still
be
15
million
or
so
if
we're
operating
off
of
the
20.
G
If
that
was
our
goal
post
so
again,
just
very
healthy
Surplus,
not
just
reserves
but
Surplus.
AC
I'm
sorry
I
do
have
a
question.
Customer
Burns
I
can
jump
in
on
here.
Sorry
about
that
I
think
I
read
somewhere.
I
just
want
to
double
check
that
he
says
the
the
council
has
approved
projects,
utilizing
2022,
go
bonds
and
the
amount
of,
and
then
it
gives
you
two
million
dollar,
roughly
figure.
W
Yeah,
these
are
the
items
councilman
bonds.
If
you
see
that
I,
don't
know
whether
you
can
see
those
things,
but
we
have
500
000
through
CIP
front
forward
waste,
Transfer,
Station
transfer
to
CIP
fund
for
maintenance
item.
We
use
to
bond
that
so
we
have
taken
it
out:
950
000
for
fire
truck
purchase,
800
000,
a
hundred
and
five
thousand
for
backpack
improvements
and
one
million
dollars
which
just
happened.
I
think
the
last
Council
in
August
to
the
solid
waste
fund.
AC
Okay,
but
but
by
approved
by
Council,
does
that
mean
that
that
you
know
when
that
item
came
to
council,
the
recommendation
was
that
we
used
2022
gold
bonds
or
that
we
have
already
authorized.
AF
Council
member
Burns,
at
slower,
Biggs
city
engineer,
so
there
were
a
number
of
projects
that
have
been
approved
so
far
this
year
that
were
funded
with
2022
General
obligation,
bonds
and
the
first
meeting
of
the
year.
We
typically
staff
brings
a
resolution
to
city
council
that
essentially
allows
the
city
council
to
spend
Geo
Bond
money
and
they're,
making
commitment
that
they
will
then
pay
that
when
we
do
issue
the
general
obligation
bonds
due
to
the
structure,
our
debt
structure
and
that
we
also
try
to
refinance
bonds.
AF
When
that
comes
available,
we
typically
sell
the
Geo
bond
in
summer,
usually
in
July
or
August,
and
that
has
not
yet
happened
this
year,
because
staff
has
been
pursuing
other
options
in
discussions
with
the
budget
and
finance
committee.
So,
basically
speaking,
then
that
would
require
at
some
point.
The
city
council
has
indicated
that
they
will
pay
those
2022,
Geo
Bond
funded
projects,
one
way
or
another.
AC
Okay,
yeah
I'll
connect
more
offline,
I,
just
I,
don't
I,
just
specifically
remember
at
least
for
myself
and
I.
Don't
remember
us
authorizing
any
2022
Bail
Bonds.
Yet
it's
specifically
at
least
for
myself.
Mega
stripe
did
not
support
that,
and
so
I
just
I
need
to
offline
I'll
I'll,
better
understand
what
we've
done.
It
was
my
understanding
that
we
were
we
had
only
authorized
or
that
we
were
only
using.
X
We've
approved,
thank
you
sure,.
A
Thank
you
and
now
will
the
clerk
please
take
the
role.
C
Because
remember
when
council
member
nusma
aye
councilmember
Burns
councilmember
Ravel
aye
councilmember
Reed
aye
council
member
had
I
Gottis
aye
councilmember
Kelly
council
member
Harris,
aye.
A
Aye
with
eight
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
the
motion
carries
and
the
various
updates
are
accepted
and
placed
on
file.
This
brings
us
to
the
consent
agenda
which,
as
you
all
can
see,
is
a
real.
A
real
Beast
I've
already
been
asked
to
remove
from
the
consent
agenda
the
following
items
from
the
APW
section:
A9
a
14
and
a
25
through
29,
so
that's
A9,
A14,
a
25,
26,
27,
28
and
29..
A
AC
Potentially
ac1
I
would
like
if
this
is
the
appropriate
time.
I
guess
I'll
just
put
oh
hc1.
F
A
G
A
Hold
on,
let
me
I've
got
a
lot
of
paperwork
in
front
of
me
here.
My
apologies.
AG
A
A
A
Is
there
a
second
councilmember
newsman
moves
approval
of
item
A9
council
member
win
seconds?
Is
there
in
discussion
council
member
nusma
thank.
B
You
Mr
Mayor
I'll,
just
clarify
where
we're
at
coming
out
of
anpw.
B
Council
member
Burns
had
made
a
motion
to
go
above
and
beyond
the
508
thousand
dollars
that
staff
had
requested.
He
made
a
motion
to
approve
up
to
another
125
thousand
dollars
to
be
used
at
staff's
discretion
to
include
Social
Services
in
this
program.
B
That
motion
received
a
2-2
vote
at
anpw
and
it's
my
understanding
that
it
therefore
passes
to
council
with
the
neutral
recommendation.
So
meanwhile,
we
voted
on
the
underlying
motion
to
approve
the
508
thousand
dollars
and
I'm,
not
sure
parliamentary
procedure-wise.
We
were
super
clean,
but
that's
that
was
the
intent.
A
So
let
me
tell
you
my
understanding
and
then
I'll
kick
it
over
to
our
attorney
to
correct
me.
What
I
would
say
is
the
motion
that
I
heard
made
on
the
floor.
Here
was
an
unamended
A9,
which
is
appropriate
because
an
amendment
that
was
not
approved
in
committee
now
that
we're
here
discussing
it,
of
course
councilmember
Burns
or
anything
else-
is
free
to
make
a
motion
to
amend
and
we
could
have
a
vote
on
that.
A
B
Councilman
I
I
since
I
sold
the
floor.
I
will
just
say
fully
support
underlying
motion.
Voting
on
A9
to
provide
funding
for
a
clean
team
provided
by
a
vendor
called
Street
plus
I.
Think
is
something
that
eventually
we
might
want
to
do
these
Services.
We
might
want
to
pull
these
in-house,
but
in
order
to
address
an
immediate
need
downtown
and
in
other
business
districts
at
the
fastest
way
to
get
there
is
to
go
with
a
third
party,
so
I'm
fully
supportive
of
the
underlying
motion.
B
I'm
also
fully
supportive
of
going
above
and
beyond
at
some
point
in
the
future
to
expand
the
services
to
include
trained
social
workers,
yeah
and
council
member
Burns
is
going
to
suggest
this
I
think
council,
member
Burns
and
I
are
in
agreement
with
the
direction
we
want
to
go.
I
would
like
to,
rather
than
approving
that
tonight
kind
of
in
advance
take
some
time.
Do
some
homework.
Do
some
due
diligence
and
see
what
options
we
might
have
and
then
sooner
rather
than
later
come
back
and
vote
on
those
options.
G
AC
A
AJ
AC
Yeah,
so
to
use
councilmanusma's
his
words.
He
said
to
what
this
is
about,
addressing
immediately
moving
forward
with
the
clean
team,
and
it
is
my
strong
opinion
that
another
immediate
need,
in
light
of
of
what
we've
seen
you
know,
post
coded
with
increase
in
our
homeless
population,
especially
downtown
and
and
the
increase
in
need
and
from
our
homeless
population.
AC
P
AC
I
mean
coverage
areas
outside
the
city
of
Edison,
but
someone
that
is
dedicated
to
our
downtown
area
to
address
this
again
immediate
and
urgent
need
is
Council
of
inducible
to
described,
and
so
what
I'm
trying
to
understand
is
that,
since
that
is
also
an
immediate
need.
AC
AJ
Sure,
thank
you
for
the
question.
So
if
you
I
believe
it
was
in
the
previous
city
council,
so
you
probably
do
not
recall
this,
but
we
brought
forward
a
request
to
Implement
a
clean
team
that
would
focus
entirely
on
our
downtown
district
and
our
business
districts.
Last
May
and
as
part
of
that
we
had
recommended
the
inclusion
of
a
caseworker
or
a
team
that
would
either
be
cross-trained
or
an
individual
or
a
small
group
of
individuals
would
be
used
to
really
engage
with
that
at-risk
population.
AJ
At
the
time
we
were
asked,
staff
was
asked
by
two
members
of
the
city
council
to
pause
that
request,
because
at
the
time
there
was
a
plan
to
implement
Trilogy
and
I.
Think
council,
member
Revell
was
part
of
that
team
and
I
believe
at
that
time
we
weren't
sure
what
the
scope
of
that
service
was
going
to
be,
and
frankly,
I,
don't
know
what
the
scope
of
that
is
today
to
know
that
is
Trilogy
going
to
provide
the
same
service
that
the
street
plus
team
said
that
they
could
provide
I,
don't
know
so.
AJ
AC
And
I
guess
the
question
is:
we've
had
Trilogy
in
place
now,
I,
don't
know
who
knows
exactly
how
long
that
trilogy
in
operation
call
it
out.
As
you
know,
it's
not
that's
fine,
but
we've
we've
had
them
in
for
quite
a
while.
Now
now,
I
guess
you're,
just
a
quick
question
to
you:
councilman
newsman,
before
I
continue.
Do
you
do
you
think
things
have
improved
in
such
a
way?
AC
That
would
that
would
indicate
that
that
that
trilogy
provides
us
enough
direct
our
homeless
population
enough
direct
support
downtown
in
a
way
that
would
not
require
additional
staff,
because
that's
that's
not
what
I
again
I
think
a
little
bit
ago,
you
said
the
out.
We
agree
on
the
outcome
that.
B
B
We
may
very
well
want
to
ask
them
to
weigh
in
and
and
bid
so
to
speak,
so
they
would
be
one
option
to
expand
Trilogy
scope
of
work
to
offer
these
Services.
Another
option
might
be
to
expand
the
contract
with
Street
plus
another
option
might
be
to
hire
these
people
in-house,
and
there
may
be
other
options
that
we
are
not
contemplating
at
the
moment,
but
before
we
commit
to
any
specific
course
of
action,
I
think
we
need
to
take
a
minute.
B
Do
some
analysis
identify
what
the
options
are
Define
precisely
what
it
is,
we're
we're
asking
for
do
some
comparison
shopping
and
and
then
make
a
decision
at
that
time.
Once
we
have
that,
once
you've
done
the
homework
and
once
we
have
the
information.
AC
B
AC
AJ
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I
think
there
I'm
going
to
basically
outline
what
I
think
are
the
universe
of
options
and
I
will
share
my
my
preference
and
my
preference
really
is
just
a
recommendation.
It
has
no
weight
in
any
research
that
I
have
conducted
on
this
matter,
but
we
can
hire
somebody
internally
to
do
the
job.
We
can
ask
one
of
our
existing
service
providers
to
provide
the
service
which
I
don't
know.
AJ
If
anybody
in
town
is
doing
that
or
we
add
the
75
000
coordinate
the
Outreach
coordinator
that
Mr
Hillard
has
has
suggested
he
could
add
to
the
contract
and
he's
prepared
to
bring
that
individual
in
or
train
them
or,
however,
their
program
works
nationally.
Those
are
that's
how
I
view
the
the
universe
of
this.
AJ
If
I
could
decide
tonight,
I
would
recommend
that
you
we
just
try
the
75
000
option
for
one
year
see
how
it
goes
and
we
know
from
feedback
from
the
business
community
and
I.
Think
the
executive
director
of
downtown
Evanston
Annie
Coakley
had
written
a
letter
to
the
city
council
based
on
feedback.
AJ
She
received
from
her
board
of
directors
that
they
would
like
to
see
somebody
in
place
to
do
that,
but
I
want
to
reinforce
I,
do
not
have
an
expertise
in
Social,
Services
I'm,
the
economic
development
manager
for
the
city,
but
my
sense
is
if
we
could
deploy
that
person
with
somebody
who's
experienced
who's
who's
doing
this
Nationwide.
We
tried
that
for
one
year
at
75,
000.
AJ
AC
Just
want
to
say
that
reiterate
that
again,
this
is
all
about
addressing
immediate,
an
immediate
need.
We
don't
even
know
if
we're
going
to
continue
to
use
the
clean
thing
that
is
being
proposed
today.
So
again,
with
that
same
logic,
we
have
a
pilot
period
where
we
can
use
something
and
again
I
use
what
our
economic
development
manager
said
in
our
last
meeting,
something
that's
off
the
Shelf
ready
to
go
to
address
the
immediate
need.
AC
This
is
a
service
that
they're
providing
in
other
jurisdictions
that
they
are
ready
and
equipped
to
provide
here,
and
on
that
note,
Steve
Hiller,
would
you
mind
just
explaining
where
that
you
know
the
the
75
000
or
the
the
I
think
it's
called
The
Social
Service
outreach
program.
Thank
you.
E
AJ
E
Thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
Steve
pillard
I'm,
the
president
and
principal
of
Street
plus,
and
to
answer
the
question.
Yes,
we
have
a
dedicated
program
Nationwide,
where
we
have
both
licensed
and
unlicensed
Social
Service
workers
on
our
staff,
serving
in
conjunction
with
existing
Clean,
safe
and
friendly
teams
across
the
country.
E
We
provide
these
Outreach
workers
in
large
cities
such
as
Chicago
San,
Francisco,
Los,
Angeles,
Raleigh,
North,
Carolina,
New,
Haven,
Connecticut,
New,
York,
City,
just
to
name
a
few,
but
the
program
has
been
extremely
successful
since
we
started
about
eight
years
ago
in
downtown
Chicago
and
what
we
would
be
able
to
provide
for
you.
Should
you
elect
to
go?
AC
Thank
you,
and
the
last
last
thing
I'll
say,
is
I'm
about
to
hear
from
my
colleagues
about
this
because
I
know
I'm,
not
the
only
one
that
has
received
the
emails
and
phone
calls
you
know
requesting
or
urging
us
I
should
say
to
add
additional
support
for
our
homeless
population
downtown
and
so
again,
I
am
not
advising
that
we
that
we
don't
do
our
due
diligence
and
look
at
all
of
our
options.
AC
What
I,
simply
what
I
did
was
in
APW
was
an
amendment
that,
if
we,
after
doing
that,
analysis
or
investigation
of
our
options
we
wouldn't
and
if
we
determined
that
that
that
I'm
sorry,
the
name
of
the
the
your
company
again
Steve
Miller,
I'm,
sorry
yeah,
Street,
plus,
if
we
determine
that
street
plus
is
the
best
way
for
us
to
go.
We
we
can
skip
all
the
bureaucracy
right,
because
this
is
an
urgent
need
to
write.
An
immediate,
urgent
need.
I
have
to
continue
to
go
back
to
that.
AC
We
can
skip
that
and
then
we'll
at
least
have
authorized
the
city
manager
to
to
increase
this
contract
so
that
we
can
get
the
the
social
service.
Outreach
staff
dedicated
staff
out
downtown
doing
the
work
that
they
do
best,
and
so
again
this
was
not
a
way
to
limit
our
investigations
to
only
this
company.
It
just
allows
us
to
again
to
to
to
bypass,
in
my
opinion,
unnecessary
bureaucracy
unless
we're
going
to
go
out
for
an
RFP
on
this,
which.
G
AI
G
AC
Long
time,
but
if
we're
not
going
to
do
an
artist
I,
don't
think
Paul
recommended
that
I
think
that
this
is
gives
us
an
option
to.
A
All
right,
your
time
is
up.
Next
is
council
member
Revell,
followed
by
Kelly,
followed
by
Reed.
Y
We
moved
to
our
meeting
on
the
27th,
because
this
was
going
to
be
so
packed
and
it
was
going
to
be
an
update
from
Trilogy
about
their
crisis.
Mobile
crisis
response
team
program
that
program
the
workers
on
that
program
are
trained
mental
health,
behavioral
health
specialists
and,
and
they
deal
with
people
having
mental
health
crises
in
particular
and
with
homeless
people
who
are
in
a
crisis
mode,
but
I
do
think
what
we're.
What
we're
talking
about
in
terms
of
what's
needed,
downtown
is
is
quite
different.
Y
It's
we're
talking
about
the
explosion
of
panhandlers,
some
of
whom
are
homeless
and
many
of
whom
are
not
and
I
so
I,
don't
I,
don't
believe,
I,
don't
believe
that
trilogy
is
equipped
and
I
mean
they're
busy
enough
doing
the
mental
health
behavioral
health
crises,
so
I
do
think
something
else
is
needed.
Y
I
guess
I
would
support
directors,
Alma
sex
idea
of
going
ahead
with
the
75
000
program
with
Street
plus,
but
I
think
we'll
want
to
we'll
we'll
definitely
want
to
talk
with
Street
plus
about
making
sure
we
incorporate
the
the
other
non-profit
organizations
in
the
community
that
work,
in
particular
with
with
the
homeless.
But
you
know
getting
a
handle
on
our
panhandler
situation,
is,
is
going
to
be
a
real
challenge.
Y
D
Y
Would
make
a
motion
for
the
75
000
that
was
provided
to
us
from
Street
plus
as
part
of
their
the
program
that
they
already
have
in
operation?
That's
ready
to
go
and
they
they
will
know
whether
the
person,
what
kind
of
license
and
credentials
that
person
is
so.
A
A
I
would
recommend
council
member
that
that,
given
that
the
current
language
specifies
an
amount
and
that
I
think
the
intent
that
everyone
I
believe
is
expressed
here
is
to
give
flexibility
not
to
force
us
in
a
particular
direction.
I
might
suggest
not
only
adding
75
000
to
that
amount,
but
also
changing
the
word
from
in
the
amount
of
to
not
to
exceed
so
you're
kind
of
giving
staff
that
flexibility,
but
not
obligating
them
to
do
it.
D
A
Z
So
yeah
I
concur
with
council,
member
nuzma
and
I
think
that
we
should
come
back
next
time
and
have
a
better
report
and
hear
from
hear
from
Trilogy
also
I
mean.
Obviously
we
are
dealing
with
issues.
Z
Types
of
issues
that
trilogy
is
addressing
currently
with
our
downtown
with
our
panhandling
and
I,
think
that
we
really
do
need
to
hear
from
Trilogy
I
I'm
also
meeting
with
the
directors
of
the
star
program
in
Denver,
just
to
get
get
a
better
understanding
of
how
that
very
successful
program
has
been
working.
Z
So
I
really
think
this
is
acting
a
little
bit
to
impetuously
and
I
think
we
really
do
need
to
do
these
are
human
beings.
This
isn't
sweeping
the
streets
so
I'm
going
to
ask
that
we
please
come
back
that
we
consider
it
and
also
even
75,
it's
sort
of
this
random
amount,
because
that's
what
this
firm
wants.
You
know
personally
I
think
it
should
be
considerably
more
money
that
we
want
to
allocate
for
this
I'm.
Z
Given
the
type
of
need
of
these,
you
know
vulnerable
individuals
and
the
state
of
our
downtown,
so
I
think
just
so
anyway.
So
I
would
concur
with
council
member
news,
but
that
we
should
wait
and
I
would
like
to
have
Trilogy
also
come
and
talk
to
us
about
the
work
they've
done
and
where
they
see
we
other
areas
that
they
see
that
we
should
be
addressing.
Thank
you.
G
I
I
support
this
as
well.
I
supported
it
in
committee,
where
I
thought
it
passed,
but
I
guess
it
was
it
failed
without
us
knowing,
but
I
think
this
makes
sense.
This
is
an
urgent
issue.
I
agree
with
with
council
member
revell's
assessment
of
trilogies
likely
capacity.
I.
Think
we
can.
G
I
think
this
is
a
full
commitment
to
creating
a
safe,
clean
downtown,
because,
if
we're
just
going
to
say
we're
going
to
paper
over
for
the
what's
going
on
downtown
by,
you
know,
cleaning
up
the
trash
here
and
there
without
actually
dealing
with
the
human
beings.
G
As
councilmember
Kelly
said,
I
I,
don't
think
we're
really
getting
to
the
rude
issue
of
of
the
root
of
the
issue
and
so
I
support
the
75
000
amendment
I
would
support
the
125
000
amendment
I
I
think
that
we
should
still
have
folks
come
back
to
us
in
the
near
future
and
look
into
all
you
know:
supplemental
programs
and
so
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
this.
A
An
amendment
was
sent
by
council
member
Revell
I
just
forwarded
to
everybody,
so
everyone
sees
it
in
writing.
It's
seconded
by
council
member
Burns.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
amendment.
AC
I
just
wanted
to
make
clear
that
that
75
125
is
really.
The
spirit
is,
is
in
spirit,
is
the
same
as
what
I'm
proposing
the
difference
is,
and
this
came
up
in
APW
is
the
salary
for
a
licensed
social
worker
and
Steve.
Correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
and
someone
else
is
that
difference
between
75
and
then
I
said
125,
because
Steve
didn't
wasn't
prepared
to
say
exactly
what
the
he
didn't
know.
What
the
you
know,
the
licensed
social
worker
was.
AI
AC
Just
want
to
be
clear
that
I'm
happy
with
75
or
125
I
just
want
to
get
somebody
out
now
so
that
we
can,
you
know,
get
to
work
and
then
learn
from.
Thank.
B
You
Mr
Mayor
I'll,
just
kind
of
reiterate:
I
completely
support
having
trained
social
workers
on
the
street
as
soon
as
we
can
get
them
there
to
treat
the
underlying
human
problem.
As
council
member
Reed
pointed
out,
that's
critical
I
would
like
to
move
there.
I,
don't
support
doing
that
by
increasing
this
contract,
because
we
have
not
vetted
this
supplier
for
that
service
to
approve
that
money
without
having
a
look
at
exactly
what
we
want
and
and
looking
at
what
else,
what
other
ways
we
might
be
able
to
achieve
that
goal?
B
B
I,
just
don't
want
to
take
the
first
thing,
that's
available
and
then
realize
in
a
month
and
a
half,
you
know
what
we
should
have
done
it
this
way
a
different
way,
so
I've
been
fully
supported,
supportive
in
concept
of
getting
social
workers
on
the
street,
but
not
based
on
a
discussion
at
council.
At
this
point,
yeah.
A
A
Councilmember
Nguyen
calls
the
question:
is
there
a
second
to
that
motion?
Second
councilmember
Kelly
seconds,
so
the
motion
is
non-debatable,
so
the
clerk,
please
call
the
role
on
the
motion
to
call
the
question.
A
T
T
A

G
G
A

Council

when
councilmanuzma

Burns
councilmember
Ravel
aye,
councilmember,
Reed,
aye,
councilmember,
hirakaris,
aye,

A
Eight
voting
in
favor
of
non-voting
against
the
motion
passes
and
item
A9,
which,
again
after
that
was
not
amended,
is
declared
past.
We
now
move
to
this
Suite
of
items,
a
25-829,
all
of
which
are
potentially
could
have
a
suspension
of
the
rules
to
allow
for
introduction
and
action
both
to
occur
tonight.
Does
anyone
have
any
objection
to
us
handling
all
of
those
simultaneously.
F
G
Ahead,
I
move
suspension
of
the
rules
for
item
a25
through
a
29
second.
C
A
Member
man
I
messed
it
up
for
the
first
time,
it's
okay,
the
monster,
councilmember
Harris
seconds.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
motion
to
suspend
the
rules?
That's
an
old
light
right.
A
Not
there
yet
seeing
none
with
a
clerk.
Please
take
the
role
on
the
motion
to
suspend
the
rules.
G
A
Council
member
Reed
moves
approval,
final
approval
of
items,
a
25,
26,
27,
28
and
29
council
member
hadakati
seconds.
Is
there
any
discussion
council,
member
Reed,
yeah.
G
As
as
my
predecessor
noted
tonight
is
a
big
night
for
the
eighth
War,
there
are
a
lot
of
exciting
agenda
items
here.
I
do
want
to
take
a
second
I
want
to
I,
see
that
the
package
Pig
crew
has
decided
to
stick
around
this
long.
So
thank
you,
Palm
House,
peckish
Pig
crew.
Thank
you
for
sticking
around,
but
what
I
want
to
talk
about
is
the
the
the
andrini
senior
apartments
and.
D
G
I
want
to
note
one
thing
here:
is
you
know,
I
I
certainly
support
us
passing
this
major
adjustment
to
this
particular
plan
development,
but
there
have,
as
a
result
of
this,
been
some
discussions
about
amending
our
zoning
rules
overall,
to
make
something
like
what's
coming
before
us,
not
a
major
adjustment
and
I
I.
Don't
think
that's
quite
the
direction
we
should
go.
G
I
think
we
should
look
at
it
in
the
way
that
we're
looking
at
it
now,
which
is
a
case-by-case
basis
and
making
very
clear
why
we
are
approving
this
and
why,
in
the
future,
maybe
we
wouldn't
approve
another
similar
Amendment
and
again
is
former
council
member
Rainey
pointed
out
these,
are
you
know,
fairly
minor
facade
changes?
The
community
I
think
had
some
concerns
when
they
got
notices
in
the
mail.
That
said,
hey,
there's
a
major
adjustment
going
on
and
they're.
G
You
know
I
got
emails
and
they're
like
what
the
heck
is
this
but
I
think
when
you
look
into
it
you
you
see
what
it
is
and
it's
not
in
this
instance
a
major
adjustment,
but
if
we
had
a
development
that
we
approved
in
our
downtown
and
they
promised
us
one
facade
and
one
design
and
one
look-
and
they
came
back
to
us
and
said:
hey
we're
just
not
going
to
do
that,
we're
going
to
build
a
building
that
looks
completely
different.
They
shouldn't
think
shouldn't
I,
hope,
I'm,
saying
this.
G
Now,
don't
look
back
to
this
and
think
that
you're
going
to
be
able
to
get
away
with
this
in
the
future.
I
think
this
is
a
particular
instance.
It's
senior,
affordable,
housing,
it's
a
hundred
percent
affordable.
Is
that
that's
correct
it's
100,
affordable
for
seniors.
This
is
the
kind
of
development
that
we
can
allow
this
kind
of
major
adjustment
to
happen
on,
but
you
know
some,
you
know:
luxury
development
downtown,
that's
mostly
charging
market
rate
and
maybe
kicked
into
our
affordable
housing
fund
to
not
have
to
put
a
actual
affordable
units
on
site.
G
Those
aren't
the
kind
of
developments
that
we
should.
They
shouldn't
have
the
idea,
and
we
shouldn't
just
blanket-
approve
this
kind
of
major
adjustment
for
them,
but
in
this
case
I'm
fully
in
support
of
these
amendments.
A
Seen
no
further
discussion
will
the
clerk
please
take
the
role
in
the
motion
which
again
applies
to
five
different
items,
each
for
introduction
and
action.
C
Councilmember,
when
council
member
newsma
aye
councilmember
Burns,
councilmember,
Ravel,
aye,
council,
member
Reed,
aye
council
member
headaches,
aye
council
member
Kelly
and
council
member
Harris
aye.
A
And
they
I
want
to
Echo
councilmember
Reed
thanks
to
everyone
for
their
patience
and
sticking
around
for
for
this
later
part
of
the
agenda
and
you're
welcome
to
continue
to
stay.
It's
going
to
be
great
for
the
balance
of
the
evening,
I'm
sure.
A
Y
I
move
approval
of
resolution,
71-r-22
amending
the
2021
Community
Development
block
grant
program
and
authorizing
the
reallocation
of
unexpected
unexpended
funds
and
closing
out
the
nsp2
grant
by
transferring
unobligated
program
income
to
the
cdbg
program.
Second,.
A
AC
It's
I
don't
know
if
Sarah
is
Sarah
is
here
so
okay,
it's
Sarah.
If
you
wouldn't
mind
just
responding
to.
X
Necessors
request
about
a
review
period
for
her
and
and
and
others.
AE
Sure,
Sarah,
flax,
housing
grants
manager,
interim
community
development
director
I'm
not
really
quite
sure
what
Ms,
Esther
and
others
think
needs
to
be
confirmed.
We
met
all
the
requirements
of
the
nsp2
program
or
HUD
would
not
be
allowing
us
to
close
it
out.
That's
kind
of
how
they
work
on
these
things
we
Acquired
and
rehabbed.
AE
We
acquired
101
foreclosed
units,
which
was
one
more
than
we
had
to
and
either
rehab
them
and
put
them
back
into
productive
use
or
otherwise
mitigated
their
negative
influences.
We
didn't
actually
we
had
some
vacant
land
and
we
met
our
25
set
aside
for
the
lowest
income,
the
50
50
percent
and
Below,
which
was
a
requirement.
AE
There
was
at
one
point
a
question
which
actually
Gail
Schechter
had
raised
she
emailed
or
she
sent
a
letter
to
Wally
babkowitz
Ray
Willis,
who
was
the
HUD
Community
planning
and
development
director,
and
also
the
assistant
executive
director
at
the
Illinois
Housing
Development
Authority.
At
one
point
saying
that
there
had
been
allegations
from
some
people
that
there
had
been
not
fair
treatment
of
various
people
who
are
applying
for
housing
and
they
did
a
very
large
foia.
They
foiled.
All
of
the
clerk
Mendoza
actually
found
a
bunch
of
these
foia
papers.
AE
It
was
a
huge
foia
that
was
all
of
the
pre-applications
and
the
applications
for
all
of
the
NSP
housing.
All
the
rental,
housing
and
I
actually
have
a
four-page
letter
after
they
went
through
the
whole
thing
that
was
from
Gail
Schechter
to
all
of
those
same
people,
and
it
closes
my
original
assumption
that
the
residents
from
the
target
neighborhoods.
Well,
that's
not
the
part
one
yeah
well
wait.
It
can
be
placed
at
the
top
of
the
priority
list.
AE
That
was
not
part
of
the
program
structure,
so
she
found
that
out
and
then
she
said
we
highly
commend
the
City
of
Evanston
as
the
northern
suburb
that
has
made
the
most
extensive
effort
to
accommodate
the
housing
needs
of
its
lowest
income
population,
let
alone
those
of
moderate
means
and
as
new
development
opportunities
arise
in
targeted
neighborhoods
and
as
the
city
develops
its
five-year
Consolidated
plan
and
reviews
in
West
Evanston
master
plan.
We
all
have
the
chance
to
collectively
plan
for
the
future.
As
always,
we
offer
open
communities
as
your
Fair
Housing
Resource.
AE
Please
feel
free
to
contact
me.
So
basically,
it's
a
four-page
letter
and
it
says
all
of
the
allegations
that,
for
example,
single
female
headed
households,
especially
headed
by
black
women,
were
being
discriminated,
were
not
being
given
fair
chance
at
housing.
AE
AE
Y
F
C
Council,
member
Burns
councilmember
Ravel
hi,
councilmember
Reed
all.
G
A
U
Y
You're,
mine,
I,
move
approval,
approval
of
resolution,
58-r-22
amending
the
city
council
rules
and
this
boy
deals
with.
Oh,
yes,
this
allows
residents
to
serve
as
the
chair
of
a
committee
that
reports
directly
to
the
council
or
to
the
standing
committee
of
the
council.
If
it
comprises
both
residents
and
council
members.
G
A
G
I
I
just
want
to
make
a
small
amendment
to
this.
That
I
think
will
help
save
some
staff
time
in
the
future.
While
we
are
in
the
the
mode
of
amending
Council
rules.
Is
director
oboe
still
here
or
did
he
take
off
for
the
evening,
usually
sitting
out
in
the
ante
room?
So
I
presume
he's
he's
gone
for
the
evening,
but
director
ogbo
and
maybe
director
I,
mean
manager.
Stoneback
can
verify
this,
but
director
elbow
put
forward
an
amendment
to
our
rules.
G
That
would
eliminate
the
covid
related
regulations.
And
can
you
confirm
that
he
is
that's
what
was
expressed.
A
Good
evening
I
can
I
can
speak
to
that.
He
he
he's
of
the
view
that
it's
appropriate
to
to
remove
that.
A
It
needs
to
either
be
a
referral
because
it
is
a
policy
change
or
a
special
order
of
business,
and
it
wasn't
brought
to
my
attention
that
he
wanted
on
this
agenda
until
after
the
five-day
window
closed.
Otherwise
it
would
have
been
happy
to
make
a
special
order
of
business.
Okay,.
G
G
We
can
save
some
staff
time
and
effort
not
having
to
force
them
to
write
a
a
new
memo
or
resolution,
or
anything
doing
that
the
language
is
there,
and
so
we
can
just
have
them
striking
as
they're
cleaning
up
this
language
here.
So
I
I
move
that
we've
removed
the
covid
related
rules,
yeah.
A
So
councilmember
Reed
has
made
a
motion
which
has
been
sent
in
writing
to
me,
but
not
the
others.
Yet
Mr
Clemens
I
think
wanted
to
weigh
in.
AI
Just
wanted
to
clarify
first,
whether
this
is
a
motion
to
amend
the
resolution
to
include
correct
okay
and,
secondly,
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
the
city
council
rules,
don't
necessarily
they
allow
for
temporary,
repeal
or
suspend
I'm
sorry
temporary
suspension
of
the
rules,
but
not
necessarily
amendment
of
them
on
the
fly
without
going
through
the
rules.
Committee
city
council
rules
require
that
the
rules
are
amended
by
the
rules
committee.
This
particular
Amendment.
AI
G
G
AI
A
AI
A
Okay,
this
is
a
dumb
thing
for
us
to
argue
about
councilmember
read:
do
you
want
to
move
to
suspend
the
rules
to
let
us.
G
It'd
be
two-thirds
again,
I
just
want
to
reiterate
this
would
save
director
oboe,
maybe
30,
minutes
of
his
day,
not
having
to
write
a
new
memo.
It
would
save
the
Law
Department
a
bit
of
time,
not
30
minutes
not
having
to
write
a
new
resolution.
It's
just
striking
language
that
director
ogbo,
the
CDC
and
Healthcare
professionals
recommend.
A
G
Should
yeah
I
just
want
to
for
my
colleagues
who
are
a
bit
skeptical
of
it?
Let's
just
save:
let's
not
waste
staff
time
having
to
write
up
memos
about
things
that
they've
demonstrated.
We
should
do
so.
I'll
I
will
move
to
suspend
the
rules
and
hope
that
everybody
will
support
not
supporting
extra
work
on
staff
unnecessarily.
A
A
A
F
A
T
A
A
Is
there
a
second
council
member
Reed
moves
to
strike
the
two
rules
in
the
referenced
in
the
email
rule
5.4.1
on
rule
10.7
counts
the
number
of
L
seconds?
Is
there
any
discussion
seeing
down
with
the
clear
please
take
the
role.
This
is
an
amendment
to
R1
when
that's
done,
if
it
passes
our
own
will
be
amended
and
then
we
would
vote
on
R1
as
amended.
X
A
With
eight
voting
in
favor,
none
voting
against
the
motion
passes
resolution
58-r
artist,
22
is
now
amended
and
seeing
no
further
discussion
with
a
clear.
Please
take
the
role
on
res
on
R1,
as
it
has
now
been
amended.
A
C
G
A
G
A
Have
some
similar
questions
that
I'll
I'll
take
offline?
That
brings
us
to
call
of
the
words
council
member
when
councilmember
nusma.

Thank
you.
Y
G
I've
welcomed
Miss
Harris,
already
Keller,
a
new
colleague,
I
I
have
I
spoke,
I
didn't
speak
to
everyone,
but
I
spoke
to
a
good
number
of
my
colleagues
a
necessary
majority
to
discuss
a
while
back
I
made
a
referral
to
create
a
Refugee
resettlement
fund
and-
and
that
was
in
the
wake
of
our
sister
city
and
our
in
in
their
country,
with
Kiev
and
Ukraine
being
invaded.
Now
we
have
a
new
crisis
that
is
amassing
now
literally
on.
G
You
know
our
Evanston
Border
in
some
cases
with
Chicago
and
the
governor
of
Texas
and
other
states
sending
migrants
by
the
quite
literally
by
the
bus
load,
to
Chicago
and
to
surrounding
suburbs,
and
so
I
think
it
makes
sense
for
Evanston
to
be
prepared
for
this
and
to
set
aside,
as
which
was
referred
to
finance
and
budget.
G
Although
those
who
sit
on
the
finance
and
budget
know
that
we're
not
really
discussing
individual
policy
proposals,
we're
really
looking
at
Big
Picture
items,
so
my
referral
is
or
my
motion
is-
to
create
a
special
order
of
business
for
either
our
next
council
meeting
or
the
first
meeting
in
October
to
set
aside
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
Refugee
resettlement
and
have
staff
come
up
with.
G
You
know
ways
that
we
would
use
those
funds
to
support.
Folks
I
know
that
I
spoke
with
manager
Stowe
last
on
Friday
and
I.
Believe
Evanston
has
been
asked
by
the
state
to
take
on
some
of
the
refugees
and
migrants
who
are
arriving
in
Chicago
and,
of
course,
there's
some
State
funding
up
front.
But
we
don't
know
when
that's
going
to
dry
up
and
how
far
that's
going
to
go.
G
So
I
would
at
least
like
us
to
set
aside
that
fifty
thousand
dollars
have
some
idea
of
what
that
can
get
us
and
be
able
to
success
from
there
and
so
I
move
that
we
place
that
request
on
the
council
agenda
as
a
special
order
of
business
and
I'll
leave
it
to
our
manager.
Decide
whether
it's
our
next
meeting
or
the
first
meeting
in
October.
A
A
T
Z
Virtual
first
award
meeting
this
Thursday
at
7
pm
and
notice
will
go
out.
An
email
will
go
out
tomorrow
and
also
this
Wednesday.
There
is
a
land
use
commission
hearing
for
the
First
Ward
proposed
development
along
Chicago,
Avenue
and
then
next
week,
we'll
have
informal
first
word
conversations
and
that
place
and
time
is
to
be
announced.
Thank
you.
V
Just
a
quick
thank
you
to
everyone
for
your
vote
of
confidence
and
I
will
be
setting
up
Ward
meetings
and
departmental
meetings.
Thank
you.
B
To
five
Illinois
compiled
statutes,
120
2A
I,
move
that
the
city
council
convened
into
executive
session
to
discuss
agenda
items
regarding
Personnel
purchase
or
use
of
real
property
and
litigation.
These
agenda
items
are
permitted
subjects
to
be
considered
an
executive
session
and
our
enumerated
exceptions
under
the
open
meetings
act
as
set
forth
in
five
ilcs
120-2a
sections,
C1,
C5
and
c11.
