A
We
have
a
quorum
present
and
I'm
prepared
to
do
our
work.
There's
the
first
item
on
our
agenda
is
public
comment.
Only
one
person
is
seeking
to
give
public
comment,
so
we
begin
and
end,
I
suppose,
with
eliot
zation
see
mr
zation
is
in
the
zoom.
Mr
zation,
can
you
hear
us.
A
C
Sorry
about
that,
having
heard
that
the
council
plan
to
formalize
formalize
the
appointment
of
luke
stowe,
the
city
manager
today,
I
thought
a
few
comments
would
be
in
order.
First,
congratulations
to
mr
stowe
on
this
promotion.
I
hope
this
will
be
the
beginning
of
a
successful
administration,
one
that
will
tackle
the
significant
problems
the
city
faces
and
one
which
will
give
residents
a
sense
that
the
city
manager
listens
and
responds
to
the
views
and
the
press
needs
of
all
the
city's
residents.
C
I
realize
that
for
mr
stowe,
this
new
position
will
pose
a
significant
challenge
because
he
will
no
longer
be
reporting
just
to
another
city
employee,
but
to
the
council
and
even
more
importantly,
to
the
residents
of
the
city.
Clearly
manages.
Members
of
the
council
should
be
an
important
source
of
his
advice
and
information,
but
it
should
also
be
remembered
that
the
residents
of
evanston
are
also
the
employer
of
the
city
manager
and
it
is
crucial
for
re-establishing
confidence
in
the
new
administration
that
they
be
listened
to
and
their
priorities
be
included
in
the
city
priorities.
C
And
we
need
to
remember
that
there
are
many
talented
individuals
who
are
willing
to
share
their
expertise
with
the
city
manager
and
with
the
city
two
bits
of
history
from
our
city
government.
Many
years
ago,
one
of
the
leaders
of
network
for
evanston's
future
went
to
the
then
city
manager,
and
I
have
to
admit
her
name
escapes
me
and
told
her
that
the
city
had
not
developed
a
climate
action
plan.
C
Although
our
mayor
had
signed
the
municipal
version
of
the
kyoto
protocol,
which
called
for
such
a
step,
he
promised
an
energetic
and
informed
group
of
residents
who
would
be
willing
to
work
with
the
city
staff
to
do
this
and
she
eagerly
accepted
and
their
collaborative
work
was
the
basis
for
our
current
climate
action
plan
and
staffing.
Today,
a
sick
and
more
recent
example
was
the
period
before
wally
bopkowicz
left
the
city
manager's
position
at
virtually
every
city
council.
C
Meeting
public
comments
were
made
critical
of
actions
taken
by
the
city
manager
and
there
was
a
growing
sense
among
those
who
came
to
hear
the
council
make
decisions
that
the
public
was
not
getting
answers
posed
by
these
questions.
I
could
reprise
some
of
these
issues,
but
let's
not
go
there.
It
was
not
a
good
time.
I'm
hoping
that
mr
stowe
will
provide
a
new
administration
that
will
give
us
all
reason
to
be
pleased.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you,
mr
zation,
and
thanks
for
your
patience
on
the
technical
front
as
well.
That
concludes
public
comment
for
the
day
and
brings
us
to
item
three
on
the
agenda
appointments.
Would
someone
like
to
make
a
motion
on
item
three
of
the
agenda
I'll.
B
A
Council
was
that
councilman
council
member
reed
moves
the
appointment
of
luke
stokes
city
manager,
council
member
revell
seconds.
Is
there
any
discussion.
D
Reed,
I
just
want
to
say
congratulations
that
we've
run
through
it
a
bit
before
why
I
think
you're
you're
great
for
the
interim,
and
I
think
those
same
things
apply
here
and
really
looking
forward
to
getting
to
work
with
you
closer
as
our
city
manager
and
seeing
what
you
bring
to
the
table.
Thank
you.
E
B
A
I
vote
I
sorry
for
jumping
the
gun
there,
everybody
with
eight
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
the
motion
carries.
Oh
actually,
sorry,
let
me
reopen
the
role.
Could
you
continue
calling
the
role
clerk.
A
This
is
on
a
motion
to
appoint
lucas
city
manager
with
nine
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
the
motion
carries
and
we
have
a
city
manager.
A
I
I
just
you
know
and
everyone's
in
a
rush.
It's
the
middle
of
the
day.
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
luke
for
taking
on
this
role,
to
thank
the
council
for
coming
to
an
agreement
on
this
important
critical
step,
and
I
think
the
unanimous
vote
is
a
signal.
A
F
Just
very
briefly,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
mayor
of
the
city
council
for
your
vote
of
confidence.
I
really
appreciate
it.
I
appreciate
the
support
of
staff
and
residents
I've
received
so
far,
and
I
want
to
be
clear.
This
is
a
tremendous,
honor
and
privilege
to
sit
in
this
seat
for
this
great
city,
and
I
look
forward
to
getting
to
work
immediately.
