Yes,
alderman
sufferden,
hi,
alderman,
ravel.

A
All
right,
thank
you.
We
on
a
9-0
vote,
the
motion
passed
and
due
to
the
pandemic,
we'll
can
have
this
meeting
virtually
at
some
point.
The
pandemic
will
get
to
a
point
where
we
can
start
to
meet
in
person
again.
I
know
everyone
will
look
forward
to
that.
Just
a
couple,
quick
announcements
up
front.
First,
the
snow
has
started
to
fall.
A
It
looks
like
we're
going
to
get
our
biggest
snowfall
of
the
year
so
far
tonight,
where
they're,
anticipating
we
may
get
six
to
eight
inches
of
snow
here
in
evanston,
so
it
please
be
careful.
You
know
if
you've
got
an
older
neighbor,
please
you
know,
go
shovel
their
driveway
other
walkway.
A
So
we
could
try
to
keep
things
clear
here
in
evanston.
It
is
going
to
be
a
very
heavy
snow.
So
please,
please
be
careful
out
there
with
that.
Second,
I
just
wanted
to
talk
briefly
about
vaccinations
here
in
evanston
over
the
last
four
days,
or
so.
We've
put
a
lot
of
information
out
as
a
city
on
vaccinations.
A
And
I
just
want
to
give
everybody
a
quick,
quick
overview,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
the
whole
q,
a
please
go
to
the
city's
website.
If
you
go
to
the
city
of
evanston.org
forward,
slash
vaccines,
you
can
find
all
sorts
of
information,
q
and
a's
there
and
every
everything
else,
as
well
as
the
survey
form.
If
you
have
not
submitted
a
contact
form,
please
go
on
there
and
do
that.
A
I
have
been
on
a
lot
of
conference
calls
recently
with
members
of
the
new
biden
administration
since
getting
sworn
in
last
week.
I
can
tell
you:
it
is
a
it
is.
Their
primary
focus
right
now
is
getting
americans
vaccinated.
The
supply
issue
is
an
issue
everywhere.
Over
the
last
three
weeks.
We
here
in
evanston
are
moving
in
the
wrong
direction.
We
have
gotten
less
vaccine
over
the
last
three
three
weeks.
A
Fortunately,
we
still
have
some
vaccine
left
and
our
public
health
department
has
been
working
to
hold
vaccination
events,
I'm
going
to
ask
for
everyone's
sort
of
patience
and
understanding
and
flexibility
as
we
work
through
and
refine
and
improve
our
own
process.
Here
in
evanston
we
are
in
phase
1b,
we
have
started
to
vaccinate
residents,
age,
85
and
above
and
last
late
last
week
they
sent
out
a
notice
to
residents,
75
and
above
to
start
to
get
registered.
A
We
have
many
more
residents,
75
and
above
than
we
do
vaccines
and
one
of
the
frustrations-
and
I
understand
that
I
know
all
the
aldermen
understand
it
is
that
we
did
an
event
today
and
we
vaccinated
740
evanston
residents,
which
is
a
great,
which
is
a
great
number
of
residents,
but
still
we
have
so
many
thousands
tens
of
thousands
of
more
when
we
sent
the
notice
out
last
week,
it
literally
went
out
to
four
thousand
five
thousand
residents,
so
the
majority
of
those
residents
who
were
over
the
age
of
75
that
tried
to
register,
couldn't
register
and
then
were
rightly
and
understandably
upset
that
they
couldn't
get
registered.
A
So
our
health
department
is
working
on
refining
when
we
put
out
the
requests
and
now
narrowing
that
group,
so
that
we
can
have
less
people
that
are
disappointed
that
they
didn't
get
registered,
but
we
can
still
fill
up
all
all
the
slots
and
continue
to
use
the
vaccinations
that
we
have.
Our
objective
is
to
get
needles
into
arms
as
quickly
as
possible.
A
There
is
also
a
lot
of
changes
going
on
in
terms
of
how
the
vaccine
is
going
to
be
administered.
Initially,
we
were
told
here
in
evanston,
because
we
have
a
certified
public
health
department
that
the
vaccine
would
come
to
evanston
and
then
evanston
would
distribute
and
say:
okay,
north
shore
hospital,
we're
going
to
give
you
x
amount
amida,
st
francis
x
amount,
perhaps
northwestern.
If
they
were
involved
in
vaccinating
folks
following
the
priority
groups,
you
know
provide
provide
them
with
some.
A
That
has
not
been
the
case
and
it
seems
like
they
are
releasing
some
two
pharmacies
and
into
other
providers.
I
know
north
shore
university
health
system
has
a
sign
up,
so
you
can
sign
up
there
if
you're
over
the
age
of
65,
to
get
your
vaccination
there.
What
I
will
tell
you,
though,
is
north
shore
doesn't
have
any
supply
of
the
vaccine
right
now,
but
they're
having
you
sign
up.
A
So
in
a
way,
it's
similar
to
the
contact
form
with
the
city,
we're
having
you
sign
up
so
that
we
are
ready
to
go.
We
get
the
larger
quantities
of
a
vaccine.
I
can
tell
you
from
these
calls
that
I
have
been
on.
There
is
a
very
committed
push
to
increasing
the
quantities
all
across
the
country,
including
including
in
our
area.
A
If
you
have
the
up,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
signing
up
at
different
locations.
If
your
pharmacy
or
your
doctor
sends
you
something
that
says,
hey,
you
can
sign
up
to
be
on
a
list
go
ahead
and
sign
up.
My
only
caution.
There
is
make
sure
that
is
a
reputable
trusted
partner
that
you
are
signing
up
with
I'm
very
concerned
about
unscrupulous
actors
coming
in
and
making
phone
calls
to
people
setting
up
websites
knocking
on
doors
and
saying
oh
for
fifty
dollars
or
a
hundred
dollars.
A
I
can
give
you
the
vaccine
and
it's
water
and
sugar,
that
they're
giving
you
or
something
something
along
those
lines.
So,
sadly
that
will
occur.
We're
not
aware
of
any
instances
here,
but
people
just
need
to
be
on
their
toes
for
any
kind
of
scams
that
may
be
out
there.
So
please
make
sure
it's
a
trusted
source.
A
We
are
this
evening.
I
talked
to
a
public
health
director
just
a
little
while
ago,
going
to
be
setting
up
another
event
this
week
and
they
are
going
to
be
sending
out
a
notice
to
a
smaller
group
of
people
here
that
are
in
that
80
year
old
range
to
get
them
vaccinated
on
the
next
one.
One
of
the
other
questions
that's
come
up
is
about
homebound
seniors,
so
remember.
If
you
are
a
senior
living
in
a
skilled,
nursing
center
or
a
independent
living
center,
there
will
be.
A
The
partnership
is
with
cvs
and
walgreens
and
they
have
the
contract
from
the
federal
government
and
they
are
working
with
those
institutions
to
come
out
and
vaccinate
folks
at
those
at
those
centers
senior
living
centers.
If
you
are
a
senior
living
home
alone
and
you're
relatively
homebound,
and
you
have
nurse
help
or
other
help
that
comes
in,
of
which
we
have
many
evanstonians
that
are
in
that
set
situation.
A
Our
public
health
department
is
working
on
right
now,
some
sort
of
mobile
team
that
could
come
around
and
provide
that
vaccination
to
those
seniors
who
are
rather
immobile,
all
right.
So
that's
new,
it's
being
worked
on
and
and
that's
just
a
quick
update
on
vaccinations
again.
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
your
patience
and
your
and
your
flexibility.
A
I
think
people
in
evanston
have
been
really
under
understanding,
despite
the
fact
that
all
of
our
anxiety
is
high
and
we
all
want,
we
all
want
the
vaccine.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
I'm
just
going
to
open
it
up
on
vaccinations.
While
we
have
the
council
here.
Are
there
any
questions
that
council
members
have?
I
don't
know
if
we
have
ike
ogbo
with
us
tonight
if
we
do
I'll
I'll
put
ikon
to
help
answer
any
questions.
J
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
If
ike
is
on,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
ike
and
erica,
but
especially
ike.
I've
gotten
a
lot
of
inquiries
from
residents
and
have
just
sent
emails
onto
ike
and
he
has
answered
them
within
minutes,
and
I
really
appreciate
that.
So
this
was
a
good
report
tonight
and
it
will
be
also
very
helpful,
but
I
thank
you
for
all
of
that
and
always
being
so
pleasant
and
patient.
I
appreciate
it.
A
Thank
thank
you.
Thank
you,
alderman
fiskin
ike.
Why
don't
you
just
take
a
minute?
We
are
getting
a
lot
of
emails
and
I
know
aldermen
are
getting
emails
and
we
are
trying
to
set
up
a
more
central
process
because
it's
not
going
to
work
if
we
all
just
forward
these
emails
to
ike
ogbo
our
director
who's
running.
You
know
these
vaccination
centers
with
this
entire
team
and
everything
else,
so
they
are
working
so
that
we
will
have
a
system
a
better
system
to
more
efficiently
respond
to
people
well
good
evening,
ike.
K
Good
evening,
members
of
the
city
council,
director
of
health
and
human
services
department-
yes,
we
have
been
getting
a
number
of
emails
and
we've
been
responding
as
much
as
we
can,
but
we're
working
on
a
more
efficient
way
to
respond
to
these
emails.
And,
as
you
indicated
mayor,
we
want
people
to
exercise
patients.
K
Our
goal
is
to
eventually
vaccinate
everyone
who's
interested
in
getting
this
vaccine,
and
it's
something
that
we
are
strongly
encouraging
and
we
are
working
on
streamlining
this
process
so
that
it
will
be
much
much
improved
from
what
we
are
doing
right
now,
so
that
information
will
be
coming
out,
hopefully
very
soon
and
it'll
be
communicated
to
our
masses.
A
Great
thank
thank
you,
ike
and
I
will
say
for
those
folks
that
have
been
vaccinated.
A
We
are
getting
a
lot
of
emails,
really
positive
emails,
ike
from
people
in
the
community,
about
the
great
job
that
you
and
your
staff
are
doing
so
kudos
to
you
and
the
logistics,
our
facilities,
team,
sean,
schulich
and
and
lucas
and
and
others
that
are
helping.
It's
really
it's
nice
to
see
those
kind
of
emails
from
our
residents.
H
Yeah,
I
think
this
was
in
the
mayor's
email,
maybe
that
you
sent
out
this
week,
but
just
for
clarification.
If
people
do
get
the
email
saying
you
know,
sign
up
for
an
appointment
and
they
miss
the
appointment
windows.
Do
they
need
to
register
again
or
will
they
just
get
another
email
with
other
appointment
times
later.
K
So
alderman,
thank
you
for
that
question.
They
will
get
another
email
for
another
registration.
So
that's
still
the
way
it's
going
to
work,
it's
kind
of
like
missing
a
bus
and
catching
another
bus.
We
will
continue
to
have
these
weekly
events
until
we
vaccinate
significantly
that
population
and
even
if
we
move
advancing
to
another
group
and
we've
missed
a
couple
of
our
elderly
adults,
we'll
still
vaccinate
them
in
doing
those
events,
so
it
is
going
to
be
a
continuous
process
where
we
continue
to
vaccinate.
K
H
K
K
Yeah,
absolutely
so.
The
way
that
we've
set
it
up
is
they
can
call
3-1-1
and
3-1
can
help
them
fill
out.
That
vaccine
contact
form
that
we
have
on
the
website
and
once
that
information
reaches
us,
we'll
take
a
look
at
the
information
to
see
if
they
have
an
email
or
phone
email
or
internet.
If
they
did
not
indicate
that
we'll
put
them
aside
and
we'll
call
them
later
to
register
them
for
the
event
when
it
comes
up.
A
Thank
you
and
I
just
I've
gotten
a
couple
emails
from
residents
in
the
community
who
are,
let's
say,
older
and
have
emailed
and
said:
hey
I
heard
about
some
teachers
that
have
been
vaccinated
or
I'm
a
teacher.
I
live
in
evanston,
but
I
work
at
nutria.
I've
been
going
there.
A
I
heard
about
teachers
getting
vaccinated,
but
I'm
in
school
and
I
haven't
been
vaccinated.
I
just
want
to
clear
up
a
little
confusion
that
I
think
is
out
there,
the
city
of
evanston
in
these
public
vaccination
events
right
now
is
focused
on
the
most
at
risk,
which
are
our
older
seniors
right
now
and
that's
who's
being
vaccinated.
A
As
I
mentioned
in
the
q
a
that
I
sent
out
last
night,
there
have
been
a
few
instances
where
some
folks
outside
of
just
seniors,
but
also
in
the
phase
1b
category
of
which
teachers
are
there
grocers
are
there
in
that
category
have
been
vaccinated
and
that's
because
one
of
our
one
of
our
hospitals
happened
to
be
amida.
Saint
francis
had
some
extra
doses
and
they
were
given
the
green
light
to
get
those
into
the
arms
of
folks
in
category
1b.
A
So
that
was
sort
of
a
wanted
one
and
done,
and
so
that
happened
it
is
not
all
teachers
in
evanston.
It
was
a
very
small,
very
small
number,
but
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
with
folks.
Is
there
anything
you
wanted
to
add
to
that
or
I
want
to
make
sure
I
got
that
right.
K
Yeah
absolutely
we're
just
asking
everyone
to
exercise
patients.
Once
vaccines
become
amply
available.
Everyone
is
going
to
get
a
vaccine
right
now
we
have
a
very
limited
supply
of
vaccines
and,
as
you
mentioned
mayor,
we've
actually
seen
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
vaccines
allocated
to
evanston,
but
we
are
hoping
that
in
these
upcoming
weeks
they
will
start
increasing
our
location.
So
we
can
have
mass
vaccinations
in
evanston
because
everyone
is
trying
to
get
administered
or
get
their
fingers
on
these
vaccines
and.
A
K
That
it's
it's
something
that
we
we've
worked
on
and
it's
something
that
we
know
that
we
will
be
able
to
deliver
when
the
time
comes,
that
we've
started
putting
measures
in
place
to
ensure
that
and
when
those
that
scenes
become
available,
we
don't
want
to
sit
on
them.
We
want
to
distribute
them
as
soon
as
possible.
So
it's
something
that
we're
working
on
and
information
about.
That
will
be,
of
course,
ordered
to
our
masses
when
the
time
comes.
A
A
Forward
slash
vaccine:
there
is
a
lot
of
information.
The
city's
put
out
there
we're
going
to
continue
to
put
more
information
out
there
and
create
a
dashboard
when
we
have
enough
data
so
that
everyone
in
the
city
knows
where
we
are
in
terms
of
the
different
categories
and
getting
folks
vaccinated
all
right
and
then
lastly,
remember
the
vaccines
at
the
beginning
of
the
end,
they're,
not
the
the
complete
end,
and
so
we
need
to
continue
to
follow
public
health
protocols.
A
All
of
us
that
means
wearing
a
mask
socially
distancing,
washing
your
hands
thoroughly.
All
of
that
which
everybody
is
doing
and
knows
about
the
good
news
is
those
measures
are
making
a
difference.
We
today
had
15
new
new
cases,
so
that
really
is
a
pretty
good
number.
No
deaths
we're
still
at
104
total
deaths.
A
But
nonetheless,
even
if
you
took
that,
I
think
we're
still
here
in
evanston
on
our
positivity
rate,
doing
better
than
some
of
our
nearby
neighbors.
Our
seven-day
moving
average
is
12
cases
over
the
last
seven
days
and
we
continue
to
have
good
news
at
the
state
level
here,
with
a
little
less
than
3
000
cases
today
and
50
deaths
and
a
state
positivity
rate
of
4.7.
A
So
we
are
those
tier,
tiered
mitigation
measures
have
been
rolled
back
some
and
so
we're
seeing
our
community
centers
now
open,
there's
still
restrictions
on
the
number
of
people.
We
are
going
to
see
indoor
dining
turn
back
on
correct,
correct
ike.
I
want
to
confirm
that
still
limited,
allowing
indoor
dining
at
our
restaurants.
K
Yeah
absolutely
they
lifted
those
restrictions
over
the
weekend,
so
indoor
dining
is
allowed,
but
at
a
certain
capacity
they're
allowing
25
guests
or
at
a
room
capacity
of
25.
A
Thank
you.
Well,
I
think
it'll
serve
as
relief,
certainly
to
our
restaurants
that
are
really
struggling
and
to
our
residents.
That
would
like
to
go
like
to
go
to
restaurants
and
just
a
reminder
to
everyone
to
to.
Please
continue
if
you
can
to
do
take
out
from
a
variety
of
restaurants
here,
so
we
can
just
help
them
weather
the
worst
of
this
pandemic
until
we
get
to
to
the
warmer
months
all
right.
That
concludes
the
mayor
announcements
for
today,
miss
city
manager.
Do
you
have
any
announcements
today.
L
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
have
three
quick
announcements.
The
first
one
is
related
to
the
snow
events
that
are
going
to
be
occurring
over
the
next
24
to
48
hours.
As
you
mentioned,
we're
going
to
get
quite
a
bit
of
snow
and
we're
requesting
voluntary
compliance
from
everybody
in
the
city.
If
people
are
able
to
move
cars,
that
will
make
it
much
easier
for
us
to
remove
snow
and
then
hopefully
not
have
to
put
any
parking
restrictions
in
place.
L
L
Just
a
gentle
reminder
that
putting
campaign
signs
on
the
parkways
is
not
allowed,
and
if
they
are
found
on
the
parkways,
they
will
be
removed
by
city
staff
and
they
can
be
picked
up
at
the
civic
center
on
near
the
loading
dock.
So
please,
if
you
have
campaign
signs,
please
put
them
in
yards
with
the
permission
of
the
property
owner
and
then
my
last
announcement
is
with
the
retirement
of
fire
chief
brian
scott.
I
wanted
to
introduce
at
our
first
regular
meeting.
L
We
did
have
a
special
meeting
last
week,
but
at
our
first
regular
city
council,
meeting
interim
fire
chief
paul
pollop,
I'm
very
happy
that
paul
pollop
is
our
interim
fire
chief
he's
going
to
do
a
great
job.
I
have
every
bit
of
confidence
that
he
will
step
in
readily
and
he's
already
trying
to
fulfill
some
big
shoes
of
our
departing
fire
chief,
but
he's
very
excited
and
ready
to
take
to
step
up
so
paul.
Do
you
have
any
words
you
want
to
say.
M
Good
evening
city,
council,
mr
mayor
and
the
city
manager,
I
I'm
super
excited
about
this.
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
team
and
whatever
I
can
do
to
help
and
if
you
ever
need
me,
I'm
always
available
24
hours.
So,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
will
see
you
all.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
erica
city
clerk,
reed,
any
announcements.
B
Yes,
one
related
announcement
about
the
election.
I
want
to.
Let
residents
know
how
they
can
vote.
So
I'm
going
to
share
this
zoom
link
is
my
screen
showing
now.
H
B
All
right
so
here
we
have
the
election
information
page,
the.
A
N
A
B
Okay,
so
we
have
and
sorry
for
the
technical
difficulty
here
with
zoom,
but
we
have
the
election
information
page.
So
there's
a
drop
down
minute
to
go
to
the
city
clerk's
page
or
if
you
type
in
election
information
on
the
city's
website.
B
You
can
find
us
this
page,
we'll
find
that
election
day
is
of
course,
february
23rd
for
the
primary
election.
Here
we
have
the
election
early
voting
hours,
so
early
voting
will
take
place
at
the
civic
center.
B
We
were
hoping
to
look
into
the
possibility
of
of
moving
the
early
vote.
Sites
are
somewhere
that
has
better
airflow,
so
look
into
that
potentially
for
the
next
election
in
in
april,
but
the
hours
will
be
early
voting
begins
february,
8th
and
so
weekdays
early
voting
will
be
available.
8
30
a.m,
to
7
p.m,
on
saturdays
9,
00
a.m,
to
5
p.m,
and
on
sundays
also
9
to
5.
five.
B
You
can
also
apply
for
a
mail-in
ballot.
You
can
do
so
on
the
city
clerks
on
the
county
clerk's
website,
but
you
can
find
the
link
on
the
city
clerk's
page,
and
we
do
believe
that
dropboxes
will
be
available
for
maryland
ballots
at
during
early
voting
at
the
civic
center
folks
can
register
for
mail
and
ballots
up
until
the
18th
of
february,
but
I
encourage
folks
to
request
those
mailing
ballots
quite
a
bit
earlier.
A
Great
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Clerk
reed
we're
now
going
to
move
to
public
comment
tonight.
We
have
seven
residents
that
have
signed
up
for
public
comments
so
per
our
rules.
Each
resident
will
get
up
to
three
minutes
for
public
comment,
so
we
will
start
off.
We've
got
jamie
collier,
then
mike
visilico,
then
tina
payton.
So
welcome.
A
O
Yeah
good
evening,
council,
members
and
city
staff,
there
are
five
reasons
why
resolution
10-r-21
should
be
rejected
in
favor
of
taking
real
actions
to
improve
the
city's
finances
which
I've
covered
in
detail
in
emails.
You've
received
one
resolving
to
add
a
fixed
amount
to
future
budgets.
To
increase
the
general
fund
reserve
will
only
require
future
councils
to
raise
property
taxes,
reserve
balance
will
increase
only
when
expenditures
are
lower
than
revenues
which
are
not
under
the
city's
control,
except
for
property
taxes.
O
If
the
city
is
truly
interested
in
increasing
its
financial
reserves,
well,
then,
the
council
should
vote
to
maintain
an
appropriately
targeted
hiring
freeze,
especially
given
the
uncertainty
of
when
the
pandemic
will
end.
Two.
The
financial
reports
show
a
clear
trend
for
the
general
fund
reserve
balance
to
end
2020
as
much
as
2
million
dollars
higher
than
its
2019
level
versus
a
2
million
reduction
that
had
been
forecast
in
october.
O
O
Three,
focusing
only
on
the
general
fund
balance
understates,
the
city's
financial
reserves.
The
most
recent
fitch
analysis
stated
quote
available
reserves,
including
unrestricted
deposits
held
outside
the
general
fund,
equaled
22
percent
of
spending
in
2019,
a
solid
fiscal
cushion
four,
basing
the
reserve
target
on
total
general
fund
expenditures
without
excluding
the
22
million
dollars
of
pension
contributions.
O
O
O
For
these
reasons,
I
ask
the
council
to
reject
this
resolution
and
take
fiscally
responsible,
decisive
actions
reaffirm
a
hiring
freeze,
perform
an
in-depth
review
of
year-end
results
when
they
are
available
in
mid-february
and
commit
excess
fund
balances
and
any
proceeds
from
asset
sales
to
reducing
the
unfunded
pension
liability.
Thank
you.
A
All
right
so
we'll
come
back
if
mike
disilco
joins
us,
tina,
payton
and
then
claire
kelly,
welcome
tina.
P
Hi
good
evening,
mayor
city,
council,
city
manager,
city
clerk,
so
I
just
had
a
couple
of
comments
one.
I
hope
that
we
do
not
get
as
much
snow
as
they
project,
but
if
we
do,
I
hope
that
the
city
plow
drivers
will
not
throw
the
snow
back
on
the
sidewalk
after
I
have
paid
maintenance
people
to
shovel
the
sidewalk.
I
received
an
email
from
someone
in
streets
and
sanitation
or
whoever
does
the
snow
saying
they
came
by
and
said
sorry,
and
that
was
the
end
of
it.
P
That's
not
acceptable
and
I
do
not
accept
a
fine
from
the
city
which
you
all
like
to
give
me
when
they
throw
the
snow
back
on
the
sidewalk
and
also
I
would
like
to
thank
alder
and
rainey
for
finally,
someone
hearing
my
cries
about
northwestern
paying
for
the
fire
department
for
a
long
time.
I've
been
saying
this
for
years
and
I'm
glad
that
you
are-
and
I
hope
that
the
rest
of
the
council
will
go
along
with
alderman
rainey
and
enforce
this,
that
I've
been
asking
for
a
long
time.
P
It
was
said
that
when
I've
asked
the
last
couple
of
years,
600
calls
per
year
go
to
northwestern
and
I
believe
that's
a
a
low
number
for
the
fire
department.
Also.
I
would
like
to
thank
alder
and
ru
simmons
for
bringing
up
the
jackson
and
emerson
board
ups,
and
I
hope
that
we
will
follow
through
with
that
and
get
some
resolution
for
what
has
been
a
very
critical
in
our
area
that
these
board
ups
are
making
our
property
value
diminish.
P
P
That
has
disappeared,
and
I
also
had
I
asked
many
times
about
affordable
housing
and
how
many
units
that
we
have
lost
in
affordable
housing
and
how
many
units
have
we
lost
for
families
and
how
many
units
were
created
for
families
that
was
not
in
the
presentation
during
last
week's,
affordable
housing
meeting
out
of
all
the
developments,
how
many
units
over
the
last
several
years
have
been
made
for
family?
P
A
Thank
you
tina.
Next
up,
we've
got
claire
kelly,
then
mary
de
jong,
and
then
ray
friedman.
N
Mary
was
actually
for
planning
development.
I
believe.
I
Okay,
thanks
hi,
I'm
mary
deyoung
and
I
live
I'm
here
for
the
main
development
main
street
development
t2.
I
I
live
in
just
across
the
alley
from
the
town
homes
and
I
have
an
and
the
vogue
building,
and
so
we
have
direct
experience
with
all
the
traffic
and
and
the
issues
that
people
have
raised.
I
The
two
points
where
first,
I
really
wanted
to
support
my
neighbors
plea
earlier
for
relocating
the
garbage
from
the
west
side
of
the
building
to
the
east
side.
The
west,
the
east
side
has
extensive
open
parking
versus
current
placement.
Has
it
on
the
west
side
right
next
to
the
town
homes
and
the
plans
are
as
was
mentioned,
the
plans
are
only
on
paper.
They
have
a
skilled
architect.
I
So
when
the
developer
came
around
with
this
plan
of
only
having
40
or
47
parking
spaces,
when
there
should
be
70
some
and
when
they
wanted
the
garage
to
be
right
out
into
the
alley
instead
of
a
setback,
as
the
city
has
requested,
it
was,
it
was
not
the
city
that
said,
oh,
you
can't
do
this.
I
We
as
a
as
a
bunch
of
neighbors.
We
got
together
and
we
talked
about
it.
We
said
it's
just
not
going
to
work
the
trucks
can't
pull
in
and
pull
out,
there's
too
much
traffic.
So
I
really
would
encourage
the
city.
I
You
know
we
have
an
opportunity
now
with
this
development
and
others,
because
there
will
be
more
on
this
side,
we're
a
transit
oriented
area
here,
and
I
want
the
city
to
have
plans
that
can
be
enforced
and
that
will
be
enforced
and
that
we
as
residents,
can
count
on
the
city
for
enforcing
it.
Whether
it's
parking
or
setbacks,
I
mean
certainly
there
are
exceptions,
but
it
seems
like
we're
becoming.
I
A
Thank
you
for
sharing
those
two
concerns.
Next
up,
we've
got
ray
friedman
and
then
mary
rozinski.
Q
Good
evening,
mayor
hagerty
and
city
manager,
city
council,
city
clerk,
there's
only
seven
people
up
for
for
public
comment
tonight,
holy
cow
last
week.
It
was
amazing
with
50
people
a
marathon
public
comment.
Q
Sorry,
we
did
go
over
our
55
second
limit
last
week,
but
I
did
want
to
say
mayor
haggerty,
thank
you
for
allowing
residents
to
speak
their
mind.
There
were
so
many
topics
that
take
up
so
much
time
so
that
it
would
be
extremely
helpful
for
everyone
if
we
had
several
town
hall
meetings
to
discuss
each
of
the
items
before
they
ever
get
to
city
council.
Q
Q
Thank
you
for
jamie
kellier.
This
is
not
the
way
to
save
money
on
sp1
or
to
balance
a
budget.
This
would
guarantee
a
property
tax
increase,
as
was
said
for
four
or
five
years.
Please
take
note
of
a1
where
the
debt
service
is
about
15
million
plus
payroll
plus
bills.
About
another
four
million,
so
tonight,
you're
voting
on
bills
and
payroll
for
20
million
dollars.
Q
Do
you
see
a
problem
there,
and
that's
just
the
first
two
weeks
of
january
so
far
planning
we're
planning,
sorry
we're
planning
to
use
more
gold
bonds.
This
year
at
least
eight
million,
a
million
for
mcculloch
park,
seven
million
for
four
beaches
after
we
just
spent
nine
hundred
thousand
for
a
temporary
repair.
Q
Q
A6
is
for
300
000
a
year
for
phoenix
security
services
for
garages,
and
I
thought
that
we
weren't
using
the
civic
center.
So
why
are
we
paying
for
security?
There?
Is
that
expense
really
necessary
and
thank
you
for
all
them
and
suffered
and
for
bringing
it
up
we
really
need.
Oh,
the
one
more
item
is:
is
the
800
as
some
employees
that
we
have?
I
thought
there
was
a
hiring
freeze,
but
about
every
other
week,
for
the
past
two
months
there
are
new
jobs
available.
Q
Q
A
You
thank
you
ray
next
up,
we've
got
mayor,
rozinski
and
then
after
mary,
if
we
have
either
mike
physical,
claire
kelly,
we'll
take
them
after
her.
G
Hi,
thank
you
very
much
and
thanks
for
your
time
this
afternoon
this
evening,
I
do
want
to
agree
with
robin
collier.
I
think
her
statements
were
right
on.
G
I
also
would
like
to
encourage
the
city
council
to
put
a
moratorium
on
new
projects
and
until
we
can
get
this
budget
under
control
and
do
what
we
need
to
do
and
to
can
we
revisit
the
capital
improvements
projects,
I'm
not
suggesting
at
all
not
doing
the
maintenance
on
buildings
that
we
own
that
we
need
to
do,
but
do
we
need
to
be
spending
as
much
on
things
as
maybe
projector?
Can
they
wait
another
year
while
we
build
up
and
pay
off
our
debt
and
build
up
our
reserves?
G
I
think
that
was
pretty
much
it.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
very
much
and
I
hope
that
we
can
focus
on
not
spending
money
that
we
and
that
borrowing
so
much.
Thank
you.
Bye.
A
Thank
you,
mary.
Do
we
have
mike
fasoco
with
us.
N
A
That
concludes
public
comment
tonight.
Thank
you,
everyone
for
joining
us
and
sharing
your
thoughts
on
a
variety
of
issues,
we're
now
going
to
move
into
special
orders
of
business.
We
have
one
item
on
special
orders
of
business:
I'm
going
to
ask
our
senior
alderman
alderman
rainey.
If
you
would
move
sp1.
F
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
special
order
of
business.
One
is
resolution
10r
21,
committing
to
funding
of
general
fund
reserves
by
2025..
F
F
J
Yes,
mr
mayor,
I
I
appreciate
the
the
citizen
comments
tonight
and
I'd
like
to
ask
the
city
manager
again
to
just
remind
us
why
this
is
important.
Please.
L
Good
evening,
members
of
council
erica
storley
city
manager-
I
brought
this
for
you
this
evening
because
we
had
discussed
this
in
the
budget
process
and,
as
you
are
aware,
the
city
council
adopted
a
policy
of
carrying
16.6
of
our
general
fund
as
a
reserve,
so
that
that
so
to
speak,
rainy
day
fund,
16.6
of
your
general
fund
is
government.
Accounting
standards
board
approved
amount.
So
this
is
not
something
that
we've
arbitrarily
set.
L
This
is
what
all
communities
across
the
country
are
expected
to
carry
so
that
was
adopted
by
the
council
previous
years,
and
we
have
made
efforts
to
try
to
reach
it
and
we've
been
somewhat
successful
in
previous
years
of
trying
to
ramp
up
towards
it.
But,
as
you
know,
the
pandemic
has
challenged
our
finances,
and
so
we
have
dropped
from
where
we
were
a
year
ago.
But
this
resolution
will
reaffirm
our
commitment
to
getting
to
a
path
of
having
that
reserve
balance
where
it
should
be.
L
If
the
council
approves
it
this
evening,
it
does
offer
some
more
flexibility
than
the
previous
one
that
we
put
on
last
month
and
if
approved,
we
will
continue
steadily
working
towards
keeping
our
finances
in
order
with
the
appropriate
levels
of
expense,
reductions
and
revenue
enhancements
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
residents
of
evanston.
A
Erica
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
mean,
I
think,
it's
prudent
for
local
governments
to
have
a
fun
balance
to
have
a
rainy
day
fund.
I
mean
we
saw
the
example
just
this
year
in
2020,
when
the
city
council
needed
to
dip
into
that
fund.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
a
question.
I
mean
if
the
council,
you
know,
votes
affirmatively
on
sp1
tonight.
That's
not
a
affirmative
vote
that
they're
going
to
raise
taxes
in
the
future.
A
It
is
only
saying
that
we
have
a
commitment
in
the
in
the
future
to
get
back
to
the
16.66
percent
and
it
comes
to
the
fall
budget
season
as
it
does
every
year.
When
you
look
at
revenues
and
expenses
and
make
the
decision
about
you
know
what
you're
cutting
or,
if
you're,
raising
anything
and
all
of
that
correct.
L
A
D
F
I
I
I
just
think
it's
a
statement
we're
making
that
really
doesn't
have
the
full
faith
and
enthusiasm
or
of
the
council
to
fulfill
the
promise
and
we've
seen
it
in
the
past.
I
think
it
would
be
better
to
say
it
is
our
best
intention
and
we
will
do
what
we
can
to
and
we
agree
that
a
fund
balance
of
16.6
is
is
prudent,
but
that
you
know
we're
gonna
do
make
our
best
effort
to
do
that.
But
in
no
case
in
no
case
will
we
raise
taxes
to
make
that
happen.
F
In
no
case-
and
you
know
in
no
case
will
I
you
know,
will
I
take
a
knife
and
carve
out
an
important
part
of
of
services
to
do
it,
but
it
is
true
that
if
we
go
along
and
we
don't
need
to
make
certain
expenditure
expenditures,
we
can
achieve
16.6
just
by
reducing
our
expenditures.
F
So
I
mean
it
is
possible
to
do
it
that
way,
but
I
really
think
since
it
it.
I
believe
it
is
this
council's
intention,
with
a
few
exceptions,
not
to
reach
16.6
if
it
means
we
have
to
raise
taxes-
and
we
saw
this
past
year
to
do
that,
we
would
have
we
were
raised.
We
were
going
to
raise
taxes
period,
so
I
would
ask
the
council
to
support
an
amendment
to
this.
F
That
includes
that,
while
it
is
our
intention-
and
while
we
agree
that
it
is,
it
is
the
right
thing
to
do-
we
will
not
raise
taxes
to
do
it.
H
Yeah,
I
appreciate
ottoman
rainey's.
H
H
You
know
for
sure
have
to
do
that,
but
unless
we
do
a
better
job
about
explaining,
you
know
what
we
are
going
to
do
so
you
know
so
ottoman
rainey's
point
either
saying
we're
not
going
to
raise
property
taxes
or
if
we
say
we're,
you
know
only
going
to
do
maintenance
or
you
know,
life
threatening
or
whatever
kind
of
capital
improvements.
So
we're
not
going
to
broaden
more
money,
or
you
know
some
kind
of
parameters
around
that
to
give
people
an
idea
of
how
we're
going
to
spend
less
money
or
make
additional
revenue.
H
Balance
is
definitely
good
financial
management,
but
if
we
don't
have
a
plan
for
getting
there
aside
from
just
saying
we're
going
to
do
it,
people
do
have
a
fear
that
it's
going
to
come
down
to
either
higher
property
taxes
more
you
know,
fees
or
higher
parking
tickets
or
whatever
it
is,
and
so
I
think
if,
if
we
were
going
to
go
this
direction,
which
I'm
not
comfortable
voting
as
it
is,
we
need
to
give
some
real,
clear
parameters
in
terms
of
what
we
are
willing
to
not
spend
money
on
how
we
are
willing
to
cut
to
to
make
that
happen
versus
just
making
a
statement
that,
unless
we're
very
diligent
it's
going
to
really
be
on
the
property
tax,
either
we're
going
to
raise
property
taxes
or
we're
not
going
to
meet
the
16.
H
F
Well,
the
way
we
do
our
budget
is,
we
do
everything
we
balance
our
budget.
So
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
as
we
do
every
year?
Is
we
work
on
generating
revenues
and
maintaining
expenses?
So
they
do
not
exceed
our
revenues
and
what
money
is
left
over
in
our
revenues,
then
we
transfer
over
into
our
general
fund
reserves
if
we
don't
have
any
money
left
over
in
our
general
fund
reserves.
F
Somebody
like
a
city
manager,
suggests
we
raise
a
few
tax.
We
raise
some
taxes
to
enhance
the
general
fund
reserves
and
I
am
saying
if
we
we,
we
continue
doing
what
we're
doing.
We
do
the
best
we
can
to
generate
revenues.
Now
I
heard
somebody
tonight
say
that
I
suggest
I
believe
this
is
what
I
heard
my
ears
are
still
ringing,
because
I
think
I
heard
this
that
we
put
a
moratorium
on
all
development.
F
How
do
people
think
we
generate
revenue
and
expand
our
tech
space
in
this
town?
How
do
they
think
that
that's
what
I
heard
so
we
we
expand
our
tax
base
by
new
development
by
by
increased
spending
by
the
governor.
Finally,
allowing
restaurants
to
open
by
selling
more
alcohol
by
by
you
know,
retailers
selling
more
products.
F
That's
that's
how
we
that's
how
we
we
do
our
budget
with
those
revenues
and
that's
how
we
do
it
alderman
fleming,
and
so
what
is
left
over
we
put
in
the
reserves-
and
I
I
for
one
think
it
is
sufficient
to
say
that
the
general
fund
will
the
the
general
fund
reserves
will
not
be
will
not
be
funded
by
raising
taxes
specifically
for
the
general
fund
reserves.
I
think
that
is
very
clear
and
very
simple.
A
Okay,
all
right
all
right,
then
city
clerk.
Can
we
take
the
role
on
sp1,
which
is
resolution
10-r-21,
committing
to
funding
of
a
general
fund
reserves
by
2025.,
I'm
sorry,
alderman
revell
did
you
want
to
add
something.
C
Well,
I
did,
I
thought
we
were
still
worrying
about
whether
we
were
going
to
be
voting
on
alderman
rainey's
amendment.
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
since
we're
now
going
to
vote
on
the
resolution
itself
that
it
is
extremely
flexible.
It
says
the
goal
may
be
achieved
by
contributing
1
million
or
more
to
the
reserve
fund,
and
additional
contributions
may
be
made
to
the
fund
balance
from
proceeds
of
property
sales.
C
A
Thank
you
for
that
clarification,
all
right,
city
claire.
Can
you
take
the
role
please.
B
Yes,
alderman
suffern,
no
alderman
revell.
B
C
J
H
G
R
A
All
right,
so,
on
a
five
to
four
vote,
the
evanston
city
council
passed
resolution
10-r-21
committing
to
funding
of
the
federal
of
the
general
fund
reserve
by
2025
to
try
and
achieve
a
16.66
percent
of
general
fund
expenses
in
reserves
by
december
20.
september,
31st
2025.,
all
right.
N
I'm
sorry
I'm
sorry
interrupt.
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
we
lost
power
at
the
civic
center
for
a
moment,
so
anderson
having
to
reboot
the
broadcast
equipment,
which
will
probably
be
about
five
minutes
or
so
before,
we're
able
to
rebroadcast
to
youtube
and
channel
16.
A
A
S
Motion
to
resume
the
whatever
our
date
is
city
council
meeting.
D
A
All
right,
thank
you,
clerk
reed.
I
apologize
to
anyone
watching
this
from
home.
The
video
feed
cut
out
because
the
power
went
off
at
city
hall,
so
we
recessed.
We
now
have
all
our
council
members
and
we're
resuming
the
city
council
meeting.
We
had
just
wrapped
up
the
special
order
of
business
on
a
five
to
four
vote
resolution.
A
10-R-21
committing
the
funding
of
the
general
fund
reserves
by
2025
pass
the
city
council
on
a
5-4
vote,
we're
now
on
the
consent
agenda.
We
had
apw
and
planning
and
development
meetings
before
city
council
tonight
where
they
went
through
each
item.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
the
council
members
to
take
a
minute
and
identify
items
you'd
like
to
have
removed
from
the
agenda.
A
A
A
A
A
No
okay,
so
seeing
none,
we've
got
one
item
this
evening.
That's
been
removed
and
that's
asics
on
phoenix
securities
alderman
suffered,
and
would
you
go
ahead
then
and
move
the
consent
agenda
for
us.
T
A
You
don't
need
to
read
them.
No,
because
you
have
the
committee
meetings,
you
don't
have
to
do
them
individually.
Why
don't
you
just
mention
that
it's
apw
planning
and
development
and
the
city
council
minutes.
T
The
administrative
public
works
committee,
the
funding
development
committee
and
city
council
minutes
of
what
date.
Sorry,
I'm
looking
through
the
agenda
here.
G
D
A
T
I'm
the
approval
of
item
a6,
which
is
a
two-year
security
contract
extension
with
phoenix
security
staff.
Recommend
city
council,
authorize
the
same
manager
to
execute
the
third
addendum
and
two-year
extension
of
the
service
agreement
with
phoenix
security
for
security
services
at
the
morton
civic
center
and
the
city-owned
parking
garages.
The
agenda
provides
a
two-year
extension
price
not
to
exceed
300
000
per
year.
Expenses
will
vary
depending
on
the
continuance
of
closures,
reopenings
related
to
combat
19.
T
civilian
security
officers
will
be
charged
at
a
rate
of
25.50
cents,
an
hour
retired
police
officers
at
a
rate
of
29
and
50
cents.
An
hour
for
2021,
with
an
increase
of
1.75
cents
per
hour
for
2022
funding
will
be
from
the
city
manager's
office
service
agreements
fund,
with
a
fiscal
year
21
budget
of
106
000
and
the
parking
fund.
The
contract
services,
parking
garage,
church,
sherman
maple
accounts
with
fy21
budgets
of
200,
700,
000
and
300
000,
respectively,
for
action.
A
T
T
You
know,
I
would
know
it
in
committee
and
I
won't
belabor
the
point
I
just
I.
I
would
like
us
to
have
a
more
unified
and
cohesive
plan
for
dealing
with
people
in
the
parking
garage
overnight,
because,
obviously
it's
not
an
ideal
circumstance
and
I
understand
the
liability
concerns,
but
also
you
know
homeless.
People
do
not
want
to
be
in
the
parking
garages
overnight
and
I'd
like
to
see
a
great
coordination.
T
I
know
we
created
a
task
force
and
I
just
like
to
see
greater
coordination
with
the
task
force
and
trying
to
figure
out
solutions
beyond
just
ejecting
them
from
the
parking
garage.
A
That's
all
thank
you,
aldermen
any
other
discussion
or
comments
all
right,
alderman
braithwaite.
S
S
E
Just
very
quickly,
which
I
also
agree
with,
and
I
am
going
to
support
this,
but
alderman
suffers
point
about
the
ensuring
that
there
is
a
plan
for
ensuring
that
individuals
who
might
be
in
these
spaces
are,
you
know,
have
appropriate
services
available
to
them.
That's.
That
is
an
important
part.
So,
while
I'm
supporting
to
support
this,
I
think
that-
and
I
think
ms
richardson
is
here
and
and
is
going
to
be
working
on
that.
So
I
just
want
to.
O
J
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
there
there
is
a
task
force
in
place.
We've
been
working
on
this
for
months
and
with
lots
of
meetings
and
talking
to
everybody
involved,
I'm
very,
very
proud
of
the
partnership.
That's
been
formed,
proud
of
ms
dan
gandorski's
commitment
to
helping
us
make
this
work
connections
for
the
homeless,
everyone
else
who
is
involved.
So
this
is
a
this
is
a
team
effort,
and
I
think
this
is
the
right
way
to
move
ahead.
A
B
Yes,
all
have
been.
C
G
H
H
R
D
A
Right,
thank
you.
Clerk
alderman
suffered,
and
you
were
you
know
on
that:
okay,
right,
so
on
an
eight
to
one
vote,
a6
the
two-year
security
contract
extension
with
phoenix
security
passes
the
evanston
city
council
all
right.
We're
now
going
to
move
to
call
of
the
wards.
We'll
start
with
you,
alderman
suffering.
T
Sure
joint
6th
and
7th
award
meeting
on
thursday,
and
also
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
passing
recently
of
former
sixth
world
resident
jim
burns,
who
is
a
great
man
and
condoles,
is
his
family.
C
Just
to
echo
alderman
sufferden's
reminder
about
our
joint
ward
meeting
on
thursday
we're
going
to
be
hearing
from
dino
robinson
about
you,
know:
black,
the
history
of
evanston's
black
community
and
the
discriminatory
practices
and
policies
that
have
shaped
our
housing
patterns
today
and
then
we're
going
to
hear
from
alderman
rue
simmons
about
the
reparations
program
that
is
designed
to
address
those
discriminatory
practices.
F
Yes,
I'd
like
to
congratulate
paul
pollop
on
his
interim
promotion
and
want
to
mention
that
I
am
very
supportive
of
reserve
funds.
It's
just.
F
I
don't
like
the
way
we're
going
about
it
and
I
think
we're
being
disingenuous
because
for
the
most
part
over
the
years,
we
have
not
met
that
funding
level,
and
I
don't
think
we
should
pretend
like
we
have
and
to
make
a
statement
like
this
is
just
something
that
we're
probably
not
going
to
meet,
and
so
I
was
just
hoping
that
we
could
collaborate
and
come
up
with
a
different
way
of
going
about
it.
So
that's
all
hopefully,.
F
I
want
to
say
about
the
vaccinations
and
and
the
plan
that
we
have
in
place,
even
though
you're
apologizing
for
it.
I
was
in
dupage
county
over
the
weekend.
I
know
I
you
shouldn't
go
there,
but
I
was-
and
I
was
with
some
older
grandparent
types.
They
have
absolutely
nothing
going
on
out
there.
I
was
bragging
about
ours.
They
could
not
believe
that
we
actually.
F
J
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
well
on
covet.
I
just
want
to
remind
folks
that
getting
the
vaccine
does
not
mean
that
you
should
stop
wearing
your
mask
or
washing
your
hands
or
doing
all
the
other
good
things
on
taking
care
of
one
another.
So
please
continue
to
do
that.
I
I'd
like
everyone
to
know
that
we
are
looking
for
a
date
with
northwestern
university
to
have
our
next
new
city
committee
meeting
and
immediately
following
that

A
E
Going
to
reiterate
the
importance
of
looking
out
for
your
neighbors
with
the
snowstorm
and
if
you
need
help
ask
for
it
and
if
you
see
somebody
needs
help,
make
sure
you
give
that
it's
you
know
you
don't
want
to
hurt
yourself
or
you
know
let
the
conditions
get
unmanageable
for
the
neighbors.
So
thanks
for
that.
A
All
right,
alderman
fleming,
do
you
want
to
just
chime
in
on
something
real,
quick.
H
You
know
whatever
I
was
reminded
of
the
snowstorm,
and
I
know
the
email
came
out
earlier,
but
since
we
just
changed
the
rules
around
shoveling,
is
there
someone
on
the
staff
who
can
just
remind
people
who
might
be
listening
to
what
those
rules
are
since
we're
not
going
to
be
ticketing?
We
have
the
ability
to
take
it.
If
you
don't
shove
one.
This
is
our
first
big
snow
since
then,.
A
That's
a
good
suggestion:
let's
do
this
erica
if
we
do
have
someone
that
can
just
refresh
everybody's
memory
on
on
the
the
rules
we're
about
to
get
snow.
Let's
do
that
after
we
do
the
final
roll
call
from
alderman,
older
woman,
robinru
simmons.
A
Okay,
that
was
quick
all
right,
so
we're
gonna
go
almond,
fisk,
first
and
then
erica
yes,.
J
L
Yes,
we
are
opening
the
three
parking
garages
they
are
available
to
use.
We're
also
going
to
reach
out
to
saint
francis
to
see
if
we
can
possibly
get
use
of
that
facility
as
well
and
as
for
the
regulations
on
snow
shoveling,
I
believe
the
requirement
is
now
after
any
accumulation
of
two
inches
or
more.
But
if
you
recall
last
year
we
only
gave
out
four
citations
the
entire
season.
It's
not
our
goal.
To
cite
it
is
our
goal
to
get
compliance,
and
we
want
to
encourage
that
as
much
as
possible.
L
So
I
don't
think
you'll
see
people
out
there
ticketing
at
the
crack
of
dawn
as
soon
as
there's
an
inch
of
snow
on
the
ground,
but
we
would
like
to
get
compliance
and
if
you
do
see
repeat
offenders,
we
always
try
to
give
warning
citations
first,
we
don't
take
it
immediately.
So
it
takes
some
time
to
get
to
the
point
where
you're
you're
into
the
place,
where
you're
going
to
get
a
citation,
so
appreciate
you
bringing
that
up
and
doing
what
you
can
to
shovel
your
sidewalks
all.
L
J
F
Because
it
it's
all
long
dodge,
which
is
you
know,
a
snow
root.
A
D
I
think
I
shared
it
in
our
committee
that
a
special
thank
you
to
max
bike
and
goods,
which
is
a
business
here
in
evanston
on
ewing,
that
is
donating,
going
forward,
one
percent
of
their
sales
revenue
to
the
reparations
fund
at
the
city
of
evanston,
and
I
can't
remember
if
I
shared
special
thank
yous
for
saint
nick's
church
or
not
here
at
call
of
the
awards,
but
thank
you
to
saint
nick's
church,
who
has
also
made
and
is
preparing
a
gift
to
the
reparations
fund
as
well
like
the
city
of
evanston
and
for
those
of
you
that
are
interested.
D
Our
next
committee
meeting
will
have
judge
lionel
jean
baptiste
and
one
other
guest
that
will
talk
to
us
about
the
role
of
the
ally
leader
in
our
reparations
work
here
in
evanston.
Those
meetings
are
open
to
the
public
and
they're
on
zoom.
You
could
sign
up
at
our
website,
which
is
city
of
evanston.org
backslash
reparations.
A
Great,
thank
you
all
dorman,
all
right
see
no
more
comments
tonight.
We
do
not
have
executive
session
this
evening,
and
so
I'm
going
to
ask
if
there's
a
motion
to
adjourn.
