A
Good
evening
the
monday
december
13th
meeting
of
the
evanston
city
council
will
come
to
order.
Will
the
clerk
please
call
the
roll.
A
A
B
A
A
It
was
a
devastating
devastating
time
and
a
reminder
not
only
of
the
life
that
he
lived,
but
I
think
the
solemn
responsibility
that
we
have
as
policy
makers
for
the
city
to
create
a
safe
environment
where
our
youth
are
able
to
to
live
and
to
thrive,
and
I
left
that
occasion
yet
further
recommitted
to
that
work,
and
I
know
that
all
my
colleagues
up
here
feel
the
same
way
and
we
continue
to
send
our
again
our
love
and
our
thoughts
to
the
denison
family
and
all
those
who
were
affected
by
the
tragedy
that
occurred
two
weeks
ago.
A
Next,
I
want
to
share
with
the
community
that,
after
decades
of
distinguished
service
to
the
city
of
evanston
and
about
a
half
year
of,
I
would
say,
extraordinarily
effective
service
to
the
city
of
evanston
interim
police
chief
aretha
barnes
has
announced
her
retirement
effective
in
early
january.
A
I
think
we
can
all
understand
you
know
she
was
thrust
in
that
position
without
warning
without
applying
for
a
job
she
took
on
that
responsibility
with
diligence
and
commitment,
the
true
heart
of
a
public
servant,
and,
after
after
doing
that
for
quite
a
few
months,
felt
that
it
was
time
for
her
to
move
on.
We.
D
A
Her
a
huge
huge
debt
of
gratitude.
I
know
that
many
of
us
are
very
sad
that
she's
leaving,
but
I
think
we
have
to
acknowledge
that
she's
earned
that
and
more,
and
so
I
just
share
with
her
my
very,
very
deepest
heartfelt
appreciation
and
you
know
or
wish
her
a
really
wonderful
next
chapter
and
and
what
has
been
a
really
distinguished
and
extraordinary
life,
and
I
know
we'll
continue
to
be
that.
A
A
A
E
Good
evening,
mayor
best
members
of
city
council
clerk,
mendoza,
kelly,
gandersky
interim
city
manager,
I'd
like
to
echo
the
sentiments
mayor
for
the
families
of
council
member
fleming
and
kelly.
Our
thoughts
and
prayers
are
with
them.
I
also
want
to
echo
your
sentiments
on
interim
police
chief
barnes.
She
has
served
in
a
wonderful
capacity
and
has
been
just
a
great
partner
to
me
and
has
been
extremely
helpful
in
navigating
the
transition,
so
I
do
wish
her
and
her
family
the
best
as
well.
E
Additionally,
I
want
to
extend
my
appreciation
and
support
to
the
evanston
police
department
for
the
quick
and
careful
work
they
did
in
partnership
with
nortaf
to
bring
bring
forth
an
arrest
out
of
the
tragedy
that
occurred,
mr
dennison's
life
and
the
victims,
and
so
they
worked
extraordinarily
hard
and
fast
to
move
the
wheels
of
justice
forward.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
police
department
as
well.
F
F
So
this
year
we
worked
with
staff
to
apply
for
two
grants
from
the
national
endowment
for
the
arts,
a
source
the
arts
council
hadn't
approached
for
over
10
years.
I'm
pleased
to
say
that
we've
recently
heard
we've
been
awarded
both
grants,
one
for
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
one
for
thirty
thousand
dollars.
The
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
is
a
one-time
grant
through
the
nea's
allocation
of
american
rescue
plan
funds.
F
F
The
other
grant,
the
thirty
thousand
one
is
also
exciting,
because
it's
one
that
we
can
and
obviously
will
apply
for
annually.
It's
a
matching
grant
that
doubles.
The
city's
contribution
to
the
annual
cultural
fund
grant
program
and
local
arts
organizations
can
apply
to
the
program
for
program
expenses.
F
These
two
additions
take
our
cultural
fund
budget
up
significantly
next
year
from
thirty
thousand
two
hundred
ninety
five
thousand
and
as
in
the
past
two
years,
of
course,
by
poc
organizations
and
those
with
programs
serving
underserved
communities
will
be
favored.
As
these
grants
are
awarded,
we're
really
excited
to
be
able
to
make
a
significant
contribution
to
our
entrepreneurial
and
untiring
art
organizations,
as
they
continue
to
brighten
our
cultural
lives
with
their
work,
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
take
a
few
minutes
to
pass
on
the
news.
Thank.
G
F
E
You
it's
wonderful
news,
toby,
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
tashiker
who's,
the
assistant
to
the
city
manager.
I
also
want
to
introduce
darryl
king
the
water
department
to
talk
about
the
ilsa
wwa
water
ambassador
program,
darryl.
H
Yes,
good
evening,
everyone
mayor,
biss,
council
members,
clerk,
mendoza,
daryl
king
water
production,
bureau,
chief
of
public
works,
I'm
here
to
briefly
tell
you
about
the
water
illinois
section.
American
water
works
association,
water,
ambassador
program,
we've
applied
and
and
are
participating
in
that
program,
and
it's
an
initiative
created
to
elevate
public
perception,
knowledge,
consumer
education
regarding
the
water
industry
and
it's
it's
comprised
of
three
levels:
bronze
silver
and
gold
and
we've
enrolled
in
the
gold
level.
H
Each
level
has
standards
and
the
gold
level
has
standards
one
through
four
and
each
of
those
standards
have
activities
that
you
have
to
complete
in
order
to
achieve
that
level.
In
this
case,
gold
and
many
of
those
activities
are,
you
know,
outreach
in
terms
of
infographics
that
we
provide
information
about
the
industry
on
the
website.
H
As
a
water
ambassador,
we'll
receive
a
sign
like
tree
city,
usa
that
we
can
display
at
the
entrance
of
our
city
and
in
each
year
thereafter
we
would
get
a
sticker
which
would
indicate
you
know
our
years
in
in
the
program,
and
so
as
as
part
of
that
standard
one
of
those
standards
or
activities
is
I
provided
each
one
of
you,
a
drinking
water,
one,
two
three
guide
and
this
guide
is
set
up
to
provide
information
about
water,
resource
management,
services,
infrastructure
and
planning,
and
it
helps
elected
officials
and
and
community
leadership,
become
more
informed
about
drinking
water
and
and
to
help
us
all
make
better
decisions
moving
forward,
and
so
in
that
drinking
water.
H
One
two
three
are
various
sections:
it's
like
nine
total
that
covers
drinking
water,
infrastructure,
source
water,
all
of
those
different
things,
and
so
what
we've
done
in
each
category
or
each
section
was
a
series
of
questions,
and
so
staff
has
answered
all
the
questions
for
you.
I'm
sure
some
of
you
know
a
great
deal
about
water,
but
there
may
be
things
that
you
don't.
H
That
again,
maybe
you
knew
or
you
didn't
know
so.
Staff
has
answered
those
questions
for
you,
I'm
sure
you,
you
may
have
questions
follow-up
questions
after
that
feel
free
to
reach
out
directly
to
me
and
I'll
get
responses
or
whatever
questions
you
may
have.
I
can
provide
answers
to
those
questions.
H
A
I
I
I
The
lessons
were
many
and
came
by
way
of
long
talks,
discussions
letters,
but
mostly
modeled
by
example,
by
excelling
academically
to
playing
sports
to
being
class
president
and
even
organizing
student
protests
at
evanston
township
in
the
late
60s.
He
was
unknowingly
teaching
and
inspiring
his
sisters,
cousins,
friends
and
classmates
once
he
left
for
college.
He
continued
that
spirit
of
leadership
and
commitment
to
community
on
campus
and
beyond
which
he
brought
back
to
evanston
in
1984,
guided,
in
my
opinion,
by
a
few
simple
principles:
selflessness,
mentorship
relationship
building
and
resistance
to
injustices.
I
I
J
Good
evening,
members
of
the
council
city,
clerk
mendoza
and
interim
city
manager
gundersky
thank
you
for
the
service,
your
service
to
the
community,
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
this
opportunity
to
lift
up
my
voice
in
support
of
all
of
the
great
work
of
this
man
that
we
call
lionel
jean
baptiste,
and
I
will
do
it.
From
my
perspective.
J
J
J
I
always
looked
up
to
him
at
some
point.
He
went
off
to
college
graduated
from
princeton
university
post
graduation.
He
was
engaged
in
lifting
up
his
voice
for
those
who
are
voiceless
and
for
those
who
are
underserved
when
he
returned,
we
knew
the
stories
of
what
he
had
done
on
his
travels
through
education
and
being
an
advocate
for
those
who
are
underrepresented.
J
J
J
K
Good
evening,
mayor
bis
and
city
council,
thank
you
so
much
for
giving
us
a
few
moments
to
express
our
excitement.
Our
gratitude
for
the
next
steps
to
take
place
in
evanston.
It's
been
an
honor
since
the
late
60s
to
watch
judge
jean
baptiste
work
on
behalf
of
the
underserved
and
underrepresented
in
our
town.
K
I've
known
him
since
I
was
a
little
girl
born
in
evanston.
My
children
are
not
allowed
to
call
him
big
brother
uncle.
We
call
him
judge,
we
call
him
judge
on
the
streets.
We
call
him
judge
at
the
dinner
table
because
until
judge
gene
baptiste
became
judge,
we
did
not
personally
know
a
judge
of
color.
K
K
You
don't
have
to
be
friends,
you
don't
have
to
have
them
over
for
dinner,
but
we
work
with
others
with
respect,
and
I
want
to
thank
him
for
teaching
me
that,
because
it's
helped
me
in
my
professional
career
as
well,
he
says
that
you
must
serve
your
community
and
when
necessary,
it
may
require
sacrifice,
and
so
we
do
it
for
the
betterment
of
our
town.
Thank
you,
evanston
for
always
making
the
right
choice.
L
Good
evening
good
evening,
is
it
okay
to
pull
down
my
mask
or
no
okay?
That
helps
well
I'll.
Wait
a
sec,
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
issue,
the
1900
sherman
proposal
and
I'm
wondering
if
it
was
considered
putting
off
the
vote.
Given
that
two
all
council
members
are
here,
I
did
not
contact
those
council
members
myself.
I
did
not
want
to
disturb
them,
but
I'm
wondering
if
that
was
considered.
I
believe
they
both
have
strong
opinions
on
the
matter,
but
I
can
proceed
and
I'm
just
throwing
that
out
for
you
to
consider.
L
Hacc
encountered
structural
difficulties
that
prevented
them
from
providing
the
amount
of
on-site
parking
in
their
approved
plan
as
designed,
rather
than
reducing
the
number
of
units
on
site.
In
parallel
with
the
reduction
of
the
number
of
the
net
on-site
parking
places,
heck
proposes
to
eliminate
nearly
all
of
the
net
new
on-site
parking
places
in
the
approved
plan.
L
L
Heck's
current
residents
are
seniors
in
the
disabled.
The
population
with
low
mobility,
as
heck
attests
in
an
article
on
their
website
related
to
the
renovation
of
the
perlman
in
2016.,
richard
monachio
of
hacc,
is
quoted.
Being
able
to
age
in
place
is
priceless
and
we
are
taking
bold
steps
now
to
meet
the
needs
of
an
aging
population
who
desperately
need
affordable
housing
that
is
safe
and
can
accommodate
people
with
disabilities.
L
The
article
reports
that
there
is
an
increasing
need
for
home
modifications
that
allow
for
maximal
maximum
residential
mobility
as
homeowners,
age
where's.
The
concern
for
the
mobility
did
you
say
time:
oh
okay,
where's
the
concern
for
the
mobility
safety
I'll
just
finish
up
this
paragraph,
an
ability
to
age
in
place
in
a
hex
current
proposal,
somehow
seniors
ability
to
walk
and
safely
walk
to
e2
two
blocks
away
is
assumed.
L
I
think
the
perlman
residents
were
told
that
they'd
be
able
to
park
either
at
the
emerson
at
the
link
and
they're
going
to
be
parking
down
at
82
blocks
away,
they're
going
to
be
really
upset
when
they
realize
that,
and
remember
in
closing,
please
consider
that
affordable
housing
is
not
a
black
and
white
issue.
Housing
that
provides
affordable
housing
to
residents
whose
needs
are
not
adequately
served
is
of
questionable
benefit
to
anyone
other
than
to
the
developers.
M
Hi,
my
name
is
eric
passett,
I'm
the
owner
of
north
shore,
apartments
and
condos,
and
I'm
I
live
in
the
fourth
ward
and
I'm
here
tonight
for
probably
a
pretty
unpopular
subject,
which
is
crime
in
in
evanston,
which
is,
as
most
people
know
his
if
it
has
increased
by.
M
I
think
your
figures
on
the
website
were
about
20
and
I've
lived
in
evanston
almost
35
years,
I'm
56
now
in
my
early
20s
so
and
I
used
to
feel
real
safe
in
evanston
and
as
the
later
I
get
into
adult,
I
don't
feel
that
way
anymore.
Every
day
you
I
get
the
evanston
now
every
day
on
my
phone
every
day
you
hear
of
another
crime,
which
is
very
sad,
another
car
getting
broken
into
another
smash
and
grab.
M
I
mean
it's
just
it's
embarrassing
for
one
thing
being
part
of
evanston,
but
also
it's
scary.
You
know,
I
know
some
people
live
in
evanston,
followed
by
owning
guns.
Now
I'm
not
saying
that's,
I'm
not
I'm
not
of
that
party,
but
or
nor
am
I
judging
it,
but
that's
you
know.
I
I
read
here
in
your
budget
for
2022
that
the
police
department
has
multiple
positions
held
vacant
for
2021..
M
In
addition
to
the
positions
held
vacant
about
20
of
the
budgeted
positions
are
vacant-
okay,
that's
kind
of
scary,
you
know,
and
four
weeks
ago
I
I
heard
something
of
about
a
football.
You
know
when
the
northwestern
football
games
going
on
and
afterwards
people
were
around
saying
defund
the
police.
Now
I
know
that's
not
our
attitude,
okay,
and
nor
am
I
accusing
anybody
of
that
attitude.
M
But,
however,
it's
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
it
differently?
You
know:
is
the
crime
just
going
to
continue
to
increase
and
people
are
going
to
move
out?
I
mean
that's
the
way
I
feel
as
a
long-term
citizen,
and
I
know
I'm
not
the
only
one.
M
You
know
this
is
not
I
mean
our
city
has
grown
and
yet
our
police
department
has
shrunk
and-
and
I
you
know,
and
and
plus
our
attitude
towards
it-
I
don't
think.
Is
I
mean
I
I
I
have
high
respect
for
people
in
law
enforcement
and
I
don't
always
feel
like
that's
the
case
in
this
city.
I'm
not
saying
it
comes
from
this
council,
but
I
just
feel
like
in
general
and
it's
you
know
I
think,
there's
other
things
we
could
do.
Besides
just
law
enforcement.
M
I
think
we
could
help
our
youth
in
a
lot
of
different
ways
that
I
try
to
do
myself
that
I'm
not
going
to
go
into,
but
I
mean
you
know
I
don't
want
to
belabor
a
subject,
but
I
just
like
I'd
like
to
challenge
you.
I
know
you
made
a
statement
a
couple
weeks
ago,
mr
mayor,
after
the
the
person,
what
you
know.
Unfortunately,
the
the
you
know
the
young
adult
was
shot
and
and
and
died
that
you
would
do
something.
M
N
O
O
Good
evening,
everyone
first,
I
wanted
to
also
give
my
condolences
to
claire
kelly
and
cecily
fleming
for
the
passing
of
their
mom
and
congratulations
to
judge
baptiste
for
the
street
naming
I
wanted
to
address
a
couple
of
issues
again
with
the
budget.
I'm
sorry
that
we
didn't
have
a
budget
meeting
with
the
residents.
O
O
I
do
disagree
with
spending
all
general
obligation
bonds
to
do
it
from
three
different
years:
2019,
21
and
22.
on
the
bills
list.
It's
20
million
dollars
in
bills.
I've
never
seen
a
bills
list
for
20
million
dollars
in
researching
it.
I
had
to
go
through
44
pages
of
a
bills
list
in
order
to
see
where
all
the
money's
going-
I'm
not
even
done.
It's
it
take
days,
but
it
turns
out.
14
million
is
for
debt
service
payment
and
I'm
wondering
well.
Are
we
making
debt
service
payments?
O
You
know
twice
a
year
three
times
a
year.
I
thought
we're.
It
should
be
paid
monthly
or
bi-monthly.
I
I
don't
know,
but
I
think
that
service
payments
came
to
about
24
million,
so
this
is
for
14
million
and
normally
bills
list
and
payrolls
2.8
million
every
two
weeks,
so
I'm
still
missing
three
million
dollars
of
the
bills
list
that
I
don't
know
why
we
have
an
extra
three
million
dollars
of
payments
on
a
nine
okay
there.
O
I
again,
I
don't
disagree
with
the
funding
for
american
rescue
plan
for
tourism
and
outdoor
recreation
program,
but
you
are
obligating
1.3
million
dollars
in
future
general
obligation,
bonds.
O
I
don't
understand
a11,
it's
a
good
program:
okay,
it's
a
program
to
oversee
racial
equity,
diversity,
diversity
and
inclusion
committee,
so
you're
paying
50
000
15
seconds
for
a
committee
to
oversee
a
committee.
They
don't
get
it
all
right!
There's
one
more
thing!
If
you
give
me
a
second.
O
O
We
shouldn't
be
using
general.
A
P
Good
evening,
everyone
I
am
here
tonight
to
offer
my
support
and
to
encourage
you
for
the
street
naming
for
my
friend
and
member
and
former
colleague
john
judge
john
lionel
shaw
baptiste.
I
I
have
known
the
judge
for
a
long
time.
I've
been
in
evidence
for
a
long
time.
P
I've
worn
many
hats
and
in
my
days
in
the
80s,
when
I
was
director
at
family
focus,
I
got
to
know
them
through
the
beginning
of
the
haitian
congress
at
that
at
that
time,
and
so
I
consider
myself
a
an
adopted
haitian-
and
I
certainly
am
part
of
being
on
the
council
with
him-
was
my
honor
to
serve
with
him
and
he,
when
I
came
on,
he
took
me
on
his
wings
and
really
mentored
me
and
helped
me
to
navigate
it's
not
an
easy
job
setting
up
there
and
I
and
so
much
to
learn
and-
and
he
was
just
so
kind
and
generous
to
me,
and
so
I
called
him
my
brother-
and
this
is
a
long
overdue
honor
for
him,
because
he's
done
so
much
for
our
community
and
he
doesn't
stop
with
the
haitian
community,
and
I
want
to
make
that
really
clear.
P
He
works
for
the
evanson
community,
he's
done
that
ever
since
I've
known
him
and
him
and
his
family,
everyone
in
that
family
is
just
so
great
and
lenoir,
his
wife,
everyone,
the
kids.
I've
worked
with
them
all
and,
and
they
are
a
really
great
family,
and
this
is
an
honor
that
is,
as
as
I
said,
it's
a
lot
of
what
we
overdue.
P
So
I
certainly
hope
that
you
will
give
him
that
tonight
and
before
I
leave,
I
just
want
to
express
my
condolences
to
both
councilmember
kelly
and
fleming's
for
their
losses,
and
I
also
just
want
to
express
my
gratitude
to
chief
aretha
barnes
for
her
service
of
25
years
in
this
community
36
all
together
in
law
enforcement.
But
she
has
been
a
really
wonderful
asset
to
our
city.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
very
much
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
A
A
Q
Good
afternoon,
everyone,
I
just
want
to
say,
miss
this
home
you're
welcome
to
be
a
haitian
to
our
community
anytime.
Q
We
do
want
to
thank
the
the
council
for
for
thinking
about
doing
this
for
lanai.
I
want
to
say
that
lionel
is
my
neighbor.
I
run
the
haitian
festival
and
the
kids
going
back
to
school
festival,
and
thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
most
of
you,
almost
all
of
you
on
the
council,
have
always
helped
us
every
year
with
the
festival,
but
I
live
three
three
doors
down
from
lionel.
Q
We
live
on
the
call
the
sec,
and
this
would
this
naming
is
not
only
good
for
us.
Our
family
home
is
there
and
for
years
lionel,
and
I
and
our
families
been
friends
been
together.
I
can't
even
remember
when
my
mom
was
sick.
Q
Lana
would
always
pull
up
on
the
cul-de-sac
every
day
when
he
was
coming
home.
He
would
stop
in
to
say
hello
to
my
mom
to
say
hello
to
us
or
if
my
friends,
the
rest
of
the
haitians,
would
be
playing
soccer
out
there
he'll
always
stop
to
say
hello
or
even
play
a
little
soccer
if
he
could.
So
it's
it's
a
great
pleasure
for
me
to
know
this
he's
been
a
great
neighbor
he's
a
brother
he's
a
mentor
he's
great
for
our
community.
He's
done
so
much
and
through
him.
Q
I'm
also,
you
know,
he's
also
helped
with
the
festival
with
everything,
so
we
actually
are
on
the
street
because
we've
been
doing
things
for
so
long
at
that
street.
So
it's
a
great
pleasure
to
know
that
this
will
be
named
under
a
haitian
name,
for
we
have
a
lot
going
on
in
our
country
right
now,
so
every
little
thing
that
could
bring
a
little
happiness
to
the
community,
not
just
the
haitian
community,
the
whole
community
as
a
whole.
Here
you
know
the
performed.
Q
He
was
also
the
the
second
order,
all
the
men
for
a
while
and
at
that
particular
time
when
he
used
to
come,
see
my
mom.
He
wanted
us
to
try
to
name
the
cul-de-sac
under
my
parents,
my
family,
my
family
name.
So
it's
good
that
the
name
will
be.
Q
To
to
a
haitian
name,
because
we
we
we
do
do
a
lot
in
this
corner
and
we
do
do
a
lot
with
our
community
with
the
migrants
that
are
here
now
and
with
the
migrants
that
had
come
through
the
70s,
my
parents,
his
family,
we
all
were
helping.
So
I
really
thank
you
guys
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
say
a
few
words
and
again
we'll
see
you
at
the
festival
this
year
and
the
kids
back
to
school
festival
have
a
good
day
and
thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you.
Meredith.
S
Mayor
council
members
riverside
embark
first
ward,
I'm
addressing
p2,
which
is
1900
sherman
avenue.
The
citizens
of
in
the
city
of
edmonton
are
being
taken
for
a
ride
in
reference
to
the
county's
proposal
residential
tower
at
1900
sherman.
You
know
here
comes
cook
county
with
a
residential
high-rise
project
which
provides
70,
affordable
housing
units
which
are
partially
subsidized
by
30
of
the
residential
units
which
are
not
subsidized,
but
rather
our
market
rate,
but
wait.
There's
more
77
the
70
percent,
affordable
unit,
somehow
magically
became
market
rate
and
thus
not
affordable.
S
A
reversal
of
what
was
offered
initially
here
comes
cook
county
seeking
and
receiving
relief
from
the
r6
zoning
requirement
of
a
12-foot
separation
between
the
existing
and
new
buildings.
The
city
granted
the
change
in
the
zoning
from
r6
to
c1a,
now
by
the
county's
own
admission,
the
sole
reason
for
seeking
that
c1a
zoning
relief
was
to
avoid
the
12-foot
building
separation
issue,
but
wait
there's
more
due
to
a
serious
structural
issue.
S
The
buildings
are
now
planned
to
be
separated
by
that
12
12
foot,
separation
of
under
r6
zoning,
thus
eliminating
the
need
for
61
is
for
c1a
zoning.
Accordingly,
this
project
is
no
longer
the
same
project
which
was
approved
by
the
previous
council.
It's
no
longer
a
c1a
project.
It
is
now
an
r6
project.
S
The
project
additionally
was
not
appropriately
c1a
at
all.
To
quote
the
city's
web
page
quote:
the
cya
commercial
mixed
use
district
is
intended
to
provide
locations
for
development
of
mixed-use
buildings,
consisted
of
retail
oriented
and
office
users
on
the
ground,
level
and
office
uses
and
residential
dwellings.
Located
above
this
project
is
not
a
mixed
usage,
mixed-use
development.
It
has
no
retail
component,
it
is
clearly
not
c1a.
S
This
is
a
c
an
r6
project
and
with
the
proposed
changes
accordingly,
must
now
be
reconsidered
under
r6
zoning,
but
wait,
there's
more
the
foundation,
the
foundation
and
structural
issue
will
previously
be
mentioned,
is
a
serious
matter
requiring
investigation
by
the
city,
not
the
county.
Now
I'm
not
a
structural
engineer,
but
I
have
been
around
enough
such
issues
to
be
very
wary
of
the
county's
proposed
solution.
We
should
not
trust
the
county's
judgment
here
on
such
an
important
issue.
We
certainly
do
not
want
to
have
a
surf
side,
florida
building
collapse.
S
S
And
pleased
that
the
county
develops
affordable,
housing
and
happy
to
pay
for
taxes
for
that
activity,
but
this
project
is
not
that,
and
rather
only
masquerades
as
an
affordable
housing
project.
This
project
is
primarily
the
market
rate
luxury
residential
development,
the
likes
of
which
the
county
has
no
business
being
involved
in.
While
I
may.
U
S
V
A
W
Thank
you,
mayor,
biss
and
good
evening,
city
council.
I
wanted
to
call
in
an
admin
of
the
street
naming
for
the
judge.
We
all
have
our
our
stories
of
judge
linell,
but
I
can
say
I
have
seen
him
contribute
later.
I'm
not
doing
video
in
an
incredible
way,
particularly
in
how
he
has
supported
emerging
leaders
and
invested
in
crises
that
we
deal
with
and,
of
course,
his
commitment
to
reparations
and
what
he's
done
to
get
the
city
headed
in
that
direction.
W
U
So
I
I
also
wanted
to
express
my
condolences
to
both
claire
kelly
and
cicely
fleming.
You
know
their
mothers
must
have
been
remarkable
people.
Just
look
at
the
two
model.
Council
members,
the
two
model
citizens
that
their
mothers
produced
and
raised.
U
U
You
know
forgive
me,
but
there's
a
lot
of
bellyaching
regarding
the
staff
being
overworked
and
this
and
that-
and
you
know,
council,
member
wynn
and
jenna
janna
knighton.
U
You
know
kind
of
blocking
something
that
council
member
reed
wanted
to
just
have
a
a
good
discussion
about
and
and
maybe
proceed
further
at
a
later
time.
It
just
seems
like
there's
the
the
staff
ship
is,
you
know
signing
to
one
side
or
the
other.
It's
it's
not!
It's
not
working
very
well
right
now
and
I'd
just
like
to
know
officially
what
is
the
status
of
the
city
manager's
search
and
when
will
citizens
learn
who
the
candidates
are.
U
I'd
also
like
to
know
what
the
subject
of
the
city
special
city
council
meeting
is
tomorrow.
It
says
personnel,
but
in
what
regard
we
talk
about
hiring
people,
we
talk
about
firing.
People
there
needs
to
be
a
little
bit
more
detail
about
what
that
city,
council
special
city
council
meeting
is
so
that
citizens
can
be
more
informed.
U
U
And
related
to
that,
I
attended
a
zoo
meeting
last
week
where
the
tif,
the
five
fifths
tiff,
was
discussed.
I
just
want
to
point
out
for
everyone
to
to
know
that
they
had
experts
on
this
call
saying
that
the
use
of
geo
bonds
to
help
fund
a
tip
it
should
not
be
done.
Even
the
staff,
our
staff
said
they
would
not
recommend
geo
bonds.
So
please
don't
go
there
with
us
if
andy.
D
Good
evening,
I
would
like
to
first
agree
with
the
comments
made
by
ray
bruce
and
mike
excellent
comments
about
the
direction
that
our
city
is
going
in,
but
I
would
also
like
to
add
my
congratulations
to
aretha
barnes
and
commend
her
for
not
following
the
previous
leaders
of
that
police
department
and
marginalizing
citizens,
especially
those
of
us
that
live
in
the
fifth
ward.
D
I
also
I'm
very
much
opposed
to
the
building
and
the
commitment
that
the
city's
giving
to
developers
in
1900
sherman.
I
also
want
to
thank
sarah
fleck
for
committing
herself
to
try
to
find
money
through
the
ara
or
any
other
source
for
small
minority
landlords
who
have
taken
a
big
hit
with
this
coronavirus
19.,
I'm
also
against
city
bonds
being
used
for
any
more
improvements.
D
In
crown
when
we're
talking
about
landscaping,
this
seems
like
a
bottomless
pit
to
keep
going
back
to
over
and
over
again
and
floating
bonds
to
further
in
debt,
the
future
citizens
of
evanston,
again
condolences
to
claire
kelly
and
to
cicely
fleming
in
the
death
of
the
two
great
beautiful
women
that
there
were
their
mothers.
Thank
you.
A
A
Saying
that
that's
the
case
we
now
move
on
before
we
get
to
the
consent
agenda.
I'd
like
to
remove
item
a8
from
the
consent
agenda,
and
I
recognize
councilmember
braithwaite
to
make
a
motion.
R
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor,
I'd
like
to
move
item
a8,
which
is
resolution,
129,
r-21,
designation
of
honorary
street
sign
name
and
I'm
going
to
make
one
one
edit
and
we
made
it
at
the
ap
w
to
move
the
sign
name
from
judge
lionel
jean-baptiste
way
to
honorable
lionel
jean-baptiste,
and
I
think
we
made
that
correction
at
apnw.
R
A
Thank
you.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
the
clerk
to
add
councilmember
reed
to
the
role
council
member
braithwaite,
moves
item
a8,
which
has
been
amended
and
improved
in
apw
council
member
burns
seconds.
The
motion
and
on
this
item
we'll
begin
with
council
member
braithwaite,
followed
by
reed.
R
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
mr
mayor,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
who
came
out
this
evening
in
support
both
in
person
as
well
as
the
zoom
for
many
of
us
that
know
lionel
or
brother
lionel
or,
more
importantly,
the
judge.
R
R
R
In
addition
to
that-
and
I
mentioned
before
you
services-
he
was
the
one
who
was
instrumental
in
starting
our
youth
services,
outreach
team
as
well
when
he
was
on
council.
He
laid
the
foundation
for
reparations,
and
here
we
are
today
years
after
that
work
where
the
first
city
in
evanston
poised
to
award
reparations
on
a
municipal
level.
All
of
these
things
because
of
his
work.
R
R
Not
only
do
you
lead
by
example
for
us,
but
you
serve
as
a
black
leader
here
in
our
town
for
those
of
us
who
have
come
behind
you
as
well
as
any
other
of
us
who
stands
behind
this
dais.
I
think
myself.
R
To
meet
and
sit
in
front
of-
and
I
can't
say
that
about
many
people
in
this
town,
so
as
we
you
know
close
out
and
I'm
sure
this
will
pass
the
next
steps
after
this
we'll
look
forward
to
hosting
a
larger
event.
Hopefully,
when
the
weather
is
warmer
and
with
less
covet
protocols
and
celebrate
you
the
way
that
you
deserve,
I
love
you.
My
brother,
congratulations
in
advance.
Thank
you.
C
This
is
something
that
is
extremely
easy
to
support.
The
only
hardship
that
I'm
having
is
that
I
would
like
to
actually
name
the
street
after
you
or
a
street
or
a
building
or
something
after
you.
I,
you
were
one
of
the
first
political
figures
that
I
knew
about.
I
I
distinctly
remember
my
grandmother
coming
home
and
you.
I
grew
up
on
emerson,
right
down
the
street
from
your
old
law
office,
and
I
distinctly
remember
my
grandmother
coming
home
and
saying
that
she
just
met
with
this
lawyer
down
the
street
who's.
C
Also
the
alderman-
and
I
just
thought
that
was
the
coolest
thing
like
whoa
the
alderman.
You
know
I
thought
you
were
my
alderman
for
the
longest.
I
thought
I
lived
in
your
ward
and,
as
I
got
older,
I
realized.
Oh
boundaries
are
a
little
different
and
then,
as
I
you
know,
grew
older
and
grew
into
wanting
to
emulate
many
of
the
black
leaders
that
I've
seen
in
our
community
and
serve
here
on
the
council.
C
You
are
someone
who
I've
spoken
to
your
wife
is
someone
who
I've
met
on
numerous
occasions
and
gotten
the
opportunity
to
meet,
and
you
were
truly
a
shining
light
of
what
it
means
to
be
a
black
man
in
evanston
and
a
black
leader
in
evanston
and
in
how
that
radiates
beyond
the
borders
of
our
city,
and
I
think,
following
in
the
footsteps
of
some
of
the
the
folks
that
I
really
admire
such
a
you
know
that
you
know
alderman,
jordan
and
and
his
national
reach.
C
I
think
I
think
that
the
history
books
and
young
black
men,
you
know
100
years
from
now,
will
be
looking
back
on
you.
The
way
some
folks
have
looked
back
on
alderman,
jordan.
So
so
thank
you
for
your
service.
This
is
well
deserved,
and
maybe
even
more
stuff
is
deserved
than
this.
But
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
X
Well,
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
for
giving
me
an
opportunity
to
speak.
I'm
I
am
so
honored
to
be
vote
to
be
able
to
vote
on
this.
I
had
the
wonderful
opportunity
to
sit
next
to
judge
john
baptiste
for
10
years
here
on
the
city
council.
I
remember
the
night
that
you
were
sworn
in
for
the
first
time
and
how
important
it
was
that
you
talked
about
your
family
and
over
time.
X
X
So-
and
I
do
want
to
echo
council
member
braithwaite,
it
was
then
alderman
jean-baptiste
who
kept
pushing
this
council
and
pushing
our
city
staff
about
what
about
the
kids
who
fall
through
the
cracks.
What
are
we
doing
for
them?
X
But
we
were
really
proud
to
cast
that
vote
because
you
had,
you
had
shown
us
the
way
and
how
critically
important
it
was.
There
are
so
many
ways
in
which
you
have
served
our
community
and
continue
to
serve
our
community.
Your
example
is
enormous,
and
it
it
is
just
an
honor
to
know
you
and
have
to
serve
on
this
city
council
with
you.
Y
Yeah
I
want
to
start
off
similarly
by
just
really
thinking
acknowledging
the
judge's
family.
You
know,
I
know
as
someone
who
has
tried
to
pursue
the
path
that
that
that
that
you
led
that
my
mother
led
and
so
many
others,
alderman
holmes
and
others
who
you
you
know
of,
because
they
do
everything
they're
involved
in
everything.
Y
There's
not
an
area
of
of
life,
of
society,
of
our
community,
that
they're,
not
a
part
of,
and
to
do
that,
to
put
yourself
out
there
like
that
it
requires
family
that
is
committed
that
stands
by
you
and
with
you
and
charges
forward
on
every
effort.
They're
right
there
with
you,
whether
they
get
in
the
newspaper
or
not
they're,
behind
the
scenes
making
it
all
possible-
and
I
know
for
me,
my
mother
and
now
my
wife
and
my
children
and
my
family
has
been
that
for
me,
and
I
know
that's
the
same
for
you.
Y
So
I
just
want
to
commend
this
family
for
really
allowing
you
to
lead
and
them
leading
in
their
own
ways
here
in
evanston.
I'm
so
proud
of
that.
That
is
something
that
that
that
you've
also
demonstrated
to
me-
and
you
know,
judge
you-
know
you're
a
moral
leader
in
the
community
like
very
few.
Are
you
know
you
really,
at
least
for
me,
give
me
the
strength
and
give
us
the
strength
to
push
forward
and
do
this
really
difficult
work.
You've
also
been
an
elected
leader
and
to
be
an
effective
elected
leader.
Y
You
have
to
build
consensus.
You
know.
I
said
this
the
other
day
that
I
feel
like
it's
my
responsibility
to
try
to
have
a
good
relationship
with
everyone
up
here,
because
you
need
you
need.
You
need
four
other
people
to
agree
with
you
to
move
the
agenda
forward
and
I
remember
in
a
conversation
I
had
with
former
mayor
tisdale.
Y
She
said,
there's
one
person
that
I've
seen
that
was
the
most
effective
negotiator
and
your
name
came
up,
and
you
know
that
was
a
tremendous
honor
and
great
to
hear,
and
I
think
I
told
you
that
at
a
subsequent
meeting-
and
that
means
a
lot
for
for
mayor
tisdale,
to
say
that
out
of
all
the
leaders
that
she's
been
around
the
most
effective
negotiator
that
she
was
ever
around
was
was
a
judge
here.
Also,
of
course,
a
leader
in
the
haitian
community,
a
leader
in
law
and
civil
rights.
Y
I
think
I
just
found
out
from
our
corporation
council
that
the
the
judge,
in
his
capacity
as
a
as
a
lawyer,
actually
brought
cases
against
institutions
that
have
benefited
from
slavery
to
try
to
force
them
to
to
to
pay
reparatory
justice,
and
I
just
learned
out
learned
about
that
tonight.
So
I
mean
this.
This
is
long
overdue,
as
as
all
the
woman
home
said,
and
then
you
know.
Lastly,
just
want
to
thank
you
personally
for
being
a
really
a
friend
to
my
mother.
Y
You
know
to
my
family
to
me
and
as
much
as
you're
a
leader
and
all
those
other
ways
are
described,
you're
also
a
leader
as
a
friend
and
a
role
model
for
so
many
in
this
community.
So
I
appreciate
you,
brother
and
I'm
glad
I
was
on
the
council.
I
said
I
seconded
this
real
quick
because
I
wanted
to
I
wanted
that
opportunity,
so
I
appreciate
it's
so
great
to
be
up
here
and
to
be
able
to
honor
you
in
this
way.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
seeing
that
no
other
council
members
are
requesting
to
speak,
I'm
going
to
exert
mayoral,
privilege
and
say
some
stuff,
which
I
try
not
to
do
often,
but
this
is
a
this
is
an
unusual
occasion.
A
You
know
I
asked
judge
baptiste
to
swear
me
in
when
I
became
the
mayor,
and
I
did
that
for
a
few
reasons.
One
is
because
you're
somebody
I
have
an
enormous
amount
of
respect
for
someone
who
I've
watched
the
way
you
handle
yourself
and
the
kind
of
responsibility
that
you
put
on
your
shoulders,
the
responsibility
for
our
youth
and
for
our
community,
and
I
just
that's
something
that
I've
always
admired
tremendously.
A
F
A
It
seems
like
witchcraft.
Honestly,
it's
the
only
explanation.
I
can
imagine
this.
This
you're
just
somebody
who's
beloved
throughout
this
community
and
all
kidding
aside.
It's
because
people
see
what
you
stand
for
and
where
your
heart
is
and
where
your
values
are
and
what
responsibility.
Again,
you
put
on
your
own
shoulders
to
make
things
better
for
everybody
around
this
town.
A
I
wanted
just
to
say
two
other
quick
things.
I
didn't
obviously
have
the
privilege
of
serving
with
you,
but
there's
two
things
that
haven't
been
mentioned
so
far.
A
And
the
other
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
you
know
one
fun
thing
about
representing
evanston
is
in
the
legislature.
Is
that
everybody
around
the
state
knows
what
evanstonia
they
want
to
talk
to
you
about.
I
remember
when
I
got
to
the
legislature,
my
now
wonderful
friend,
our
attorney
general,
then
state
senator
kwame
raoul.
A
Y
C
C
A
And
with
six
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
item
a8
passes,
congratulations!
Your
honor.
Z
Well,
it's
it's
a
great
honor
and
I
think
that
the
bottom
line
is
to
whom
much
is
given
much
is
expected
and
so
in
giving
you
receive
so
much
more.
I've
been
blessed
to
have
a
strong
wife
who's.
Z
You
know
mopping
floors
to
pay
for
all
their
children
to
go
to
saint
mary's,
private,
school
and
stuff.
Like
that,
so
you
know
the
priorities
are
what's
important.
We
have
to
stay
consistent.
We
have
to
stare
at
the
barricades,
because
if
we
don't
do
it,
then
no
one
is
doing
it
for
us.
So,
thank
you
very
much
for
this
honor.
Z
I'd
have
to
tell
you
a
joke,
because
when
I
called
my
my
cousin
who's,
one
of
the
comedians
in
the
family
margie
in
florida,
she
said.
Well,
you
know
they
gave
you
a
key
before
a
key
to
the
city.
Now
they
want,
you
know,
there's
a
proposal
to
name
a
street
after
you
they're
going
to
give
you
a
house.
Z
I
said:
molly,
no
they're
not
going
to
do
that,
but
but
I
really
appreciate
the
love-
and
I
think
you
know,
with
all
the
difficulties
as
one
of
our
citizens
who
spoke
about
crime
and
difficulties
that
we're
facing
that
our
perseverance
is
the
most
important
thing
to
do
the
right
thing.
You
know
we
don't
always
win,
but
we
have
to
continue
to
fight.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
appreciation
and
I
appreciate
you
back.
Thank
you.
Bye.
A
Thank
you
and
congratulations
again
that
does
bring
us
to
the
consent
agenda.
Obviously,
item
a8
has
already
been
removed.
Would
I
like
to
make
further
removals
from
the
consent
agenda.
T
A
Z
I
have
to
say
thank
you
to
one
of
the
really
active
members
of
our
family,
and
that
is
gabrielle
aguilar
walker.
Jean-Paul
gabriel,
was
the
one
who
took
the
lead
and
pulled
peter's
coattail
and
said:
we've
got
to
do
this.
We've
got
to
move
this
process
forward,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
recognize
that
it
is
her
leadership
that
has
brought
us
this
far.
Thank
you
very
much
once
again.
Thank
you.
A
C
I
don't
think
I
want
to
remove
them
because
they're
I'm
perfectly
fine
with
them,
but
I
do
just
want
to
note
well
actually
what
I
want
to
do
is
I
we
need
to
suspend
the
rules,
I
believe
for
item
812
and
a13.
As
those
policy
changes
did
not
go
through
the
referrals
committee,
as
they
should
have.
A
A
C
My
problem,
the
only
reason
I
raised
that
is,
we
adopted
a
rule
that
said
no
item
that
changes
policy
will
appear
on
an
agenda
unless
it
has
gone
through
the
referrals
committee
and
these
two
things
are
very
clearly:
policy
changes
as
they're
amending
ordinances
and
in
some
cases
I
don't
know-
if
maybe
news
racks
needs
to
be
an
ordinance,
but
certainly
policy
changes
and
certainly
would
have
to
go
through
the
referrals
process
according
to
our
rules.
But.
A
C
A
Y
AA
Good
evening,
members
of
city,
council,
city
clerk,
interim
city
manager,
gandersky
nicholas
cummings
corporation
council,
not
to
muddy
the
waters
even
further,
but
both
both
councilmember
reid
and
the
mayor
are
correct.
The
rule
does
require
that
it
go
through
the
referrals
committee.
AA
However,
in
this
particular
instance,
the
committee,
it
actually
appeared
on
the
apw
agenda
first,
and
so
I'm
assuming
that
the
referrals
will
be
put
on
the
apw
agenda
and
even
if
not
it
doesn't
it's
actually
not
changing
any
sort
of
policy
right
now,
anyway,
it
is
for
introduction,
it
is
up
for
debate
and
it
could
not
pass
the
city
council
at
all.
A
So,
just
to
be
clear,
I
think
you're
siding
with
councilman
reed,
which
is
good
for
me
to
know.
In
my
view,
these
are
administrative
changes
that
therefore
don't
trigger
the
rule.
If
I
I
I
think,
council
member
burns
is
right,
we
should
it's
worth.
You
know
coming
to
some
agreement
about
it,
but
I
I
read
when
I
first
saw
the
agenda.
I
had
the
same
kind
of
thought.
A
I
looked
more
carefully
the
items
and
I
ultimately
concluded
they
were
fundamentally
administrative
rather
than
public
policy
changes
and
therefore
appropriate
to
go
on
the
agenda.
C
AA
So
so
they
are
administrative
changes,
but
they
do
change
the
city
code
and
which
that's
that's
where
in
the
issue
becomes
in
terms
of
the
the
public
policy,
it
does
I'm
in
the
city
code
in
both
instances,
because
news
racks
are
codified,
the
mwebe
loophole
that
we're
trying
to
close
is
codified
and
it
needs
to
be
codified
in
order
to
close
it.
They
are
administrative
changes
absolutely,
but
they
are.
They
do
change
the
city
code,
so
I
believe
both
of
you
are
correct.
A
A
Doesn't
it
isn't
connected
to
the
question
of
whether
the
policy
change
occurs
in
the
form
of
an
ordinance
or
resolution
or
anything
else?
So
I
understand
that
it's
a
change
in
city
code
that,
to
my
mind,
isn't
germane
to
the
question
of
whether
the
rule
is
triggered,
and
so
I
would
say
certainly
given
the
ambiguity.
A
We
should
continue
on
and
take
the
vote
to
spend
the
rules
which
I
would
recommend
everyone
agree
to
do,
irrespective
of
whether
you
personally
believe
that
it's
necessary,
but
maybe
we
should
have
an
offline
conversation
to
achieve
a
greater
understanding
of
of
what
situations
the
rule
applies
to,
so
that
we
don't
have
this
kind
of
back
and
forth,
but
go
ahead.
Ms
gandersky.
E
I
was
going
to
say
exactly
that
and
just
a
little
bit
of
legislative
history.
I
recall
that
this
was
fixing
two
issues
with
regard
to
the
ordinance,
not
changing
a
policy.
So
to
that
end,
our
discussion
at
rules
was
referrals
are
for
major
policy
changes
not
for
fixes
to
ordinances,
whether
it's
an
ordinance
or
not
shouldn't
matter.
That
was
my
recollection
of
the
rule,
but
neither
here
nor
there
I
think
the
mayor's
correct.
We
can
talk
off
one.
A
C
C
A
There
are
six
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against,
and
so
so
the
rules
are
suspended,
which
should
remove
any
disagreement.
Regarding
the
question
of
whether
items,
a12
and
a13
are
eligible
for
a
vote,
last
call
on
removing
anything
but
items
a8
and
p2
from
the
consent
agenda.
A
C
C
A
A
I'm
sorry
councilmember
my
bad
yep,
okay,.
G
C
A
Council
member
revell
moves
item
p2,
council
member.
Does
the
council
member
read
the
customer
read
seconds?
Is
there
a
discussion
council
member
news
followed
by
read.
T
T
N
You
mayor-
and
I
thank
you
for
the
question-
I
want
to
extend
my
condolences
as
well
to
both
council
members
fleming
and
kelly
on
their
losses.
N
N
A
Thank
you
for
that.
Next
is
councilmember
reed.
C
Yes,
councilmember
kelly
was
working
on
the
lines
today,
but
that'll
save
me
some
time.
I
had
a
long
conversation
with
some
first
waters
with
first
order,
who
was
here
earlier
and
others
about
this
project
over
the
last
few
days,
and
I
gained
one
bit
of
really
clear
understanding.
So
first,
I
just
want
to
establish
some
facts
to
make
sure
I
am
on
the
same
page
with
information
that
I
received
mr
minocchio.
C
So
originally
there
were
going
to
be
168
units,
correct
yeah,.
N
G
It's
a
menocchio,
I'm
sorry,
okay,.
C
So
yes,
there
are
168
units.
Originally,
yes,
and
because
this
building
the
location
it
was
eliminating
22
parking
spots
from
the
pearlman
correct.
C
We,
you
would
have
been
required
to
with
the
22
spots
that
would
be
need
to
be
replaced
by
the
pearlman
and
then
the
number
of
spots
necessary
for
this
building
at
168
units
provide
a
total
of
100
units.
I'm
sorry,
100
parking
spots
is
that
correct,
88.
N
N
All
right,
you
know
just
because
we're
getting
into
some
numbers
here,
our
consultant
bill
james,
is
on
our
development
consultant
bill.
Do
you
want
to
step
in
here?
Please?
Yes,.
AB
I
would
actually
I
have
to
admit
that
I
don't
know
what
the
ordinance
would
would
require,
because
we
we
moved
beyond
the
ordinance
from
the
very
early
stages.
AB
We
were
in
discussions
with
city
staff
about
parking
and
how
parking
does
not
need
to
be
as
much
as
the
city
code
in
this
location,
because
it's
a
transit,
oriented
development
location
and
the
ordinance
that
was
approved
required
37
on-site
space
is
actually
37
spaces
in
the
below
grade
parking
structure,
which
we
we
had
to
reduce.
Due
to
the
structural
issue
mentioned
earlier
at
the
previous
meeting.
So
we
need
a
reduction
of
12
states
in
that
underground
facility
to
25,
and
that's
what
we're
here
to
ask
the
city
for
relief
on
that.
C
Thank
you.
I'm
just
trying
to
establish
a
few
facts
to
make
sure
that
my
understanding
is
clear.
Okay,
so
it
seems
like
that.
My
numbers
are
about
right
that
in
total
originally
there
would
have
been
about
a
hundred
parking
spots
needed
to
be
provided.
The
reason
I'm
asking
this
and
then
there's
50
of
the
units
that
would
be
provided
off-site
and
the
the
discussion.
I
think
that
we
had
was
either
the
link
or
e-2
would
provide
those
50
off
site.
C
And
then
so
it
seems
and
then
so,
the
underground
the
units,
the
on-site
parking
spaces
would
include
the
22
that
you
need
to
replace
and
then
an
additional
15
new
on-site
units
so
that
15
plus
22
that
30
whatever
that
is
47
units.
AB
AB
C
AB
And
22
there's
currently
18
on
the
alley.
Okay,
so
you
know
that's
that's
40
spaces.
C
Okay,
what
I'm
trying
to
ensure
is
that
I
think
the
new
ask
is
to
move
even
more
of
those
parking
spaces
off-site
you're,
eliminating
you're
going
now
from
168
from
168
units
252
units
and
with
that
reduction,
you're
asking
to
move
even
more
parking
spaces
off
off-site.
AB
Well,
with
with
the
reduction
of
16
units,
the
demand
for
parking
will
be
less
and
we
estimate
that
the
net
additional
demand
from
removing
the
12
parking
spaces
will
be
four
parking
spaces,
because
the
utilization
rate
of
structural
parking
in
the
link
and
the
e-2
building
is
about
one-half
space
per
unit.
AB
C
Okay,
thank
you
where
I'm
going
with
this
and
I'm
sure
this
is
flying
over
a
number
of
people's
heads.
You
know
what
I'm
looking
to
to
see
is
that
more
of
these
units
are
kept
on
site.
I
know
that
you're
reducing
you,
know
the
building
size
by
or
the
unit
number
of
units
by
16,
and
certainly
I
think
it's
reasonable
to
reduce
the
number
of
parking
spaces
in
accordance
with
that
and
heck.
C
I
am
someone
who,
and
in
many
cases
would
would
say
you
know
let
you
and
the
private
market
figure
out
your
own
parking
requirements.
I'm
not
a
huge
fan
of
parking
minimums
in
government
generally,
but
this
is
particularly
a
building
for
folks
who
are
seniors
and
disabled,
and
I
would
just
love
to
see
more
of
those
parking
units
kept
on
site
and
if
you
are
going
to
move
them
off
site,
I
know
again.
I
know
I
know
the
math
on
this
particularly
you're.
C
Building,
an
underground
parking
structure,
you
know
35
000
plus,
is
what
you're
paying
per
parking
stall.
So
I
understand
how
significant
the
cost
is
here.
So
I
just
love
to
see
you
know
some
public
amenities
that
the
train
station
there
is
not
very
accessible
to
seniors.
It
doesn't
have
a
an
elevator.
AB
C
AB
Will
be
a
55
and
over
building,
so
we
we
anticipate
more
of
an
active
senior
population
than
than
handicapped
people
who,
you
know,
couldn't
walk
a
thousand
feet
to
to
an
outside
parking
location.
So
I
mean
there
will
be
some
obviously
there'll
be
some
people
in
wheelchairs
as
there
is
everywhere.
But
this
is
not
specifically
for
for
handicapped
individuals.
N
If
I
could
just
add
in
council
member,
you
know,
you
know,
in
all
honesty,
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
about
this
project
over
the
last
year.
You
know
we've
been
coming
to
these
meetings
for
a
year.
The
last
thing
I
wanted
to
do
was
reduce
on
on-site
parking.
The
last
thing
I
have
a
building
that
I
not
only
have
to
build,
but
I
have
to
lease
and
the
market
rate
units.
N
Certainly,
I
would
like
to
have
the
underground
parking
more
spaces.
The
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
it
doesn't
work.
We've
heard
a
lot
about
this
12-foot
separation.
That's
it's
nonsense.
They're
they're!
You
know
it's
a
structural
issue
below
ground
that
the
buildings
are
still
going
to
be
next
to
each
other
and
if
I
click
just
just
for
a
minute
and
I'll
only
take
a
minute.
N
I
want
to
just
remind
the
council
members
who
were
good
enough
to
support
us
already
and
the
council
members
who
I've
spoken
to
the
new
members
about
what
this
building
is
so
right.
Now
it's
a
a
parking
lot,
a
surface
parking
lot.
N
N
N
So
what
we're
doing
in
fact
is
building
a
building
that
has
market
rate
tenants.
That's
true,
but
those
market
rate
tenants
are
in
essence
paying
for
the
construction
of
the
51..
That's
groundbreaking
that
doesn't
happen.
It
hasn't
happened
as
far
as
I
know,
and
it's
a
great
investment
for
the
taxpayers,
a
great
investment.
This
is
going
to
be
a
long-term
asset,
not
only
for
the
city
of
evanston,
not
only
for
the
lower
income
people
to
live
there,
but
for
the
government.
N
The
government
has
this
asset
very
rare,
that
a
government
would
be
able
to
maintain
an
asset
like
this,
almost
always
that's
in
private
hands.
Now
we
do
have
a
private
partner
that
has
expertise
in
this,
but
I
want
everybody
to
understand
that
this
is
a
government
asset.
That's
going
to
stay
in
government
hands
all
right.
A
C
I
think
councilman
reed
wanted
to
follow
up
yeah.
I
just
want
to
say
one
more.
I
mean
I'm
sorry
make
it
clear.
I
I
support
this
project
and
I'm
I'm
I'm
I'm
supporting
you
here.
I
I
just
want
to
see
if
we
can
what
we
can
do
to
get
either
more
on-site
parking,
yes,
more
parking
on
site
for
this
particular
population,
or
you
know
what
kind
of
public
benefits
can
be
offered
to
to
counteract
that,
such
as
you
know,
working
with
cta
to
add
an
elevator.
I
think
that
would
be.
N
I
you
know,
I
I
think
that
probably
we'll
be
willing.
We
want
to
see
an
elevator
there,
but
the
public
benefit.
I
think
council
member
we're
bringing
is
significant
now
I'll
do
my
best
to
get
as
many
spaces
on
the
on-site,
because
I
said
it's
in
our
best
interest
as
well,
so
I
agree
with
you
I'll
I'll
get
as
many
as
I
can.
Yes,.
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
First
of
all,
the
clerk
please
add
councilmember
suffered
into
the
role
and,
having
done
that
with
the
clerk,
then
please
call
the
role
on
item
p2.
D
C
A
On
this
matter,
there
are
seven
voting
in
favor,
none
voting
against
and
so
item
p2
passes.
Thank
you
to
the
to
the
mr
menachio
for
the
for
the
testimony.
This
brings
us
now
to
call
of
the
wards,
beginning
with
council
member
nussma.
A
Yeah,
this
has
been
a
confusion
of
mine
for
a
long
time
that
it's
it's
part
of
the
consent
agenda,
but
not
always
labeled
in
a
way.
That's
totally
clear,
but
my
understanding
when
I
became
mayor
is
that
is
that
the
appointments
are
a
portion
of
the
consent
agenda
and
would
need
to
be
pulled
off
if
people
did
not
want
to
vote
on
them
as
a
portion
of
the
consent
agenda.
T
T
I
have
gotten
to
know
several
of
them
at
this
point
in
my
tenure
as
alderman,
and
I
do
have
to
say
from
the
folks
that
I
know
serving
the
city
of
avenson
on
the
evanson
police
department.
They
are
the
kind
of
people
that
we
want
in
that
job.
So
you
know
I
look
forward
to
working
with
the
the
next,
the
interim
police
chief,
whoever
that
might
be,
and
and
finding
another
police
chief
to
fill
the
large
shoes
that
chief
burns
leaves
behind.
T
T
I'd
like
to
like
to
thank
the
neighbors
that
have
been
involved
in
this
productive
discussion,
trying
to
find
a
way
to
make
sure
that
our
friends
and
neighbors
are
who
live
inside
of
albany
care.
Are
research
are
receiving
the
care
that
they
deserve,
and
certainly
our
city
staff
deserves
a
lot
of
thanks
to
ike,
ogbo's
department,
audrey
thompson
and
a
special
shout
out
to
candice
mitchell,
the
long-term
care
ombudsman
who's
really
doing
a
lot
of
work
on
this
issue.
T
Looking
ahead
to
january,
I'm
going
to
do
a
virtual
ward
meeting
on
tuesday
january
4th
and
regular
office
hours
on
saturday
january,
8th
thanks.
Y
Yeah,
I
just
also
want
to
congratulate
chief
bars
on
our
retirement.
It
was
been
a
joy
to
work
with
you.
It
was
a
a
call.
I'll
look
forward
to
answering
always
had
really
great
calls
with
her
effective
communication,
and
she
was
a
huge
help
to
me
over
the
past
past
several
weeks
and
months.
So,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
service,
and
that
is
all
thank
you.
G
G
You'll
be
greatly
missed
and
then
just
to
seventh
ward
residents,
just
a
reminder
that
we
have
award
meeting
virtual
award
meeting
this
thursday
7
pm
we're
going
to
be
hearing,
in
particular
from
representatives
from
northwestern
about
this
rebuilding
the
stadium
project
and
the
timeline
and
ways
in
which
residents
are
going
to
be
able
to
be
involved
in
sharing
their
thoughts
and
concerns.
C
Thank
you.
I
also
want
to
add
my
congratulations
to
and
and
appreciation
to
deputy
or
to
to
interim
chief
barnes.
C
I
you
know
I
haven't
been
a
council
member
for
too
long
and
I
so
only
had
a
bit
of
our
former
police
chief
and
a
bit
of
this
chief
as
as
a
council
member,
but
chief
barnes
cert.
I
certainly
felt
on
top
of
things
of
what
was
going
on
in
my
ward
with
chief
bonds,
and
so
your
services
chief
will
be
missed
your
service
to
the
community
chief
barnes.
I
always
felt
even
before
I
had
any
official
position
that
you
were
someone
in
the
community
that
I
could
go
to.
C
If
I
had
an
issue
with
the
police
department-
and
I
felt
as
though
you
were
you
know
one
of
the
you
know.
If
we
talk
about
some
officers
being
bad
apples,
you
are
the
golden
apple
within
our
police
department.
So
you
you
will.
Certainly
your
presence
will
be
missed
on
our
force
for
the
eighth
ward,
residence.
We
have
a
ward
meeting
on
this
saturday
at
one
o'clock.
The
information
is
posted
on
the
city's
website,
so
you
can
join
into
that.
C
C
I
believe
she'll
be
coming
to
one
of
our
meetings
soon
and
we
will
be
discussing
violence
as
well
as
other
issues
at
that
meeting,
and
I
will
say
to
the
public
commentary:
you
know
what
a
privilege
it
is
to
have
felt
safe
in
evanston
for
a
long
time
and
what
a
privilege
it
is
to
have
a
police,
a
greater
police
response,
be
the
thing
that
makes
you
feel
safer.
C
That
is
not
something
that
I
think
every
member
in
our
community
shares
and
I'm
really
hoping
this
council
with
the
spike
in,
I
think,
there's
a
definite
spike
in
property
crime.
C
You
know
crime
related
to
poverty,
and
I
hope
that
this
council,
with
our
arpa
funds
and
just
with
the
commitment
moving
forward,
really
works
to
tackle
the
root
causes
of
some
of
those
issues,
rather
than
try
to
tamp
it
down
with
a
greater
militarized
police
presence,
and
then,
lastly,
you
know
I'm
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
have
the
this.
This
is
a
council
that
needs
additional
revenue,
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
have
the
proposal
to
for
for
lakefront
folks
to
pay
a
fair
share.
C
C
That
is
not
an
amount
of
money
to
scoff
at
and
you
know
for
them
our
wealthiest
residents,
that's
a
small
drop
in
the
bucket,
and
I'm
hoping
you
know,
particularly
as
we
understand
issues
of
equity
and
and
reparations
and
and
the
move
where
we
had
black
folks
moved
away
from
the
lake
front,
and
this
could
be
a
funding
source
equal
to
about
a
third
of
the
current
funding
and
we
received
about
200
000
a
year
now
for
reparations.
C
You
know,
another
hundred
thousand
dollars
would
would
increase
that
by
a
third
and
be
a
substantial
step.
So
I'm
hoping
we
can
make
those
moves
and
and
really
show
our
progressive
values
and
and
shift
the
burden
of
folks
who
can
bear
it
the
most
that
ends
my
report.
Thank
you.
R
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
also
want
to
join
with
others
in
in
terms
of
wishing
condolences
and
prayers.
I
shared
it
with
alden
fleming
and
now,
with
alderman
kelly
as
well
one
of
the
families
in
my
ward,
the
judeon
family,
for
for
recent
deaths.
R
It's
tough
around
the
holiday
season,
particularly
when
we
we
lose
lives
and
those
near
and
dear
to
us.
So
I
always
encourage
people
to
continue
to
check
on
our
seniors,
particularly
in
this
holiday
season
and
with
that
holiday
season
theme.
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
very
much
to
all
the
residents
who
came
out
to
our
ward
meeting
this
past
last
thursday
to
discuss
city
manager,
also
arpa
funds
and
other
concerns
that
were
brought
up
as
we
go
into
this
holiday
season.
I
pray
that
the
staff
is
able
to
recharge
their
batteries.
R
However,
they
choose
to
do
so,
spend
time
with
their
loved
ones.
This,
I
feel,
was
a
very
difficult
transitional
year
for
many
of
us
behind
here,
and
you
are
the
lifeline
that
helps
to
provide
so
many
supports
to
our
wonderful
city
so
to
the
city
manager.
I
think
she
stepped
out.
If
you
can
convey
that,
I
think
that
that's
important
as
well
as
the
council
members.
I
hope
that
you're
able
to
recharge
your
batteries
as
well
this
past
weekend,
I
just
want
to
call
out,
judge
lionel
jean-baptiste.
R
We
talked
about
his
groundbreaking
work
in
reparations,
and
this
past
weekend
we
hosted
our
city
of
evanston,
with,
along
with
the
honorable
robin
woo
simmons,
her
new
organization,
first
step
narc
and
cobra,
the
two
nation
national
organizations
that
helped
to
certify
our
work
and
provide
some
of
the
training
and
assistance
to
get
us.
This
point
they
hosted
over
50
people
from
all
over,
I
say
all
over
the
state,
and
there
was
one
person
who's
from
another
country,
as
well
as
as
speakers,
and
for
the
the
time
that
I
was
able
to
spend
there.
R
The
people
continue
to
watch
our
town
and
I
think
for
the
good
that
we
are
doing
it's
important,
that
we
acknowledge
that
and
walk
in
that
light
and
in
the
same
vein,
I'm
taking
a
look
at
us
and
the
numbers
of
staff
that
we've
lost
in
a
very
short
period
of
time.
R
But
it's
it's
getting
to
that
point
where
we
really
need
to
take
a
look
at
what
we're
doing,
how
we're
impacting
staff's
decisions,
how
how
they're
being
paid
and
compensated,
I
think
from
an
organizational
standpoint.
We've
lost
a
lot
of
institutional
memory.
We
won't
feel
it
today
tomorrow
within
a
year
but
downstream.
We
continue
at
this
pace
to
bleed
out
with
19
officers
down
we
heard
from
a
resident.
R
A
X
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
to
council
member
braithwaite
for
lifting
up
that
issue.
I
think,
is
something
that
we
all
do
need
to
think
about,
and
and
look
inward
and
figure
out
what
is
going
on
with
our
staff,
because
they're
they're
our
assets.
They
are
the
ones
who
execute
all
of
the
all
of
the
policies
that
we
do
here,
and
I
know
it's
a
difficult
time
for
many
people
in
the
workforce.

She
made,
as
we
many
others
of
us
have
said
she
made
the
job
of
being
a
council
member
easier
in
so
many
ways,
and
I
wish
her
the
best
of
luck
in
the
in
her
future,
and
I
hope
that
she
has
been
an
example
to
many
of
our
other
younger
police
officers
and
with
that
I'll,
say,
happy
holidays.
A
Thank
you
and
with
that
council
member
