A
Here
with
eight
members
having
answered
the
call,
we
have
a
quorum
present
and
are
prepared
to
do
our
work
this
evening,
we'll
begin
with
my
announcements
and
proclamations
of
which
I'm
afraid
I
have
a
few
first
of
all,
tomorrow
is
primary
election
day.
So,
thanks
to
all
in
this
building,
who
made
early
voting
a
success
thanks
to
all
voted
early
for
those
of
you
have
not
voted
yet.
I
urge
you
strongly
to
go
vote
in
person
at
your
polling
place
tomorrow
between
the
hours
of
6am
and
7pm.
A
Next,
there
has
been-
understandably,
I
think,
both
within
this
building
and
without
it
a
lot
of
questions
about
the
next
steps
and
status
of
the
city
manager
search.
We
hope
to
make
some
progress
on
that
as
early
as
this
evening
that
we
could
hopefully
report
on
to
the
community
shortly,
but
I
also
wanted
to
flag
a
town
hall
that
we've
scheduled
for
the
evening
of
july
12th.
That's
7
p.m.
A
Here
in
this
building
in
the
parasol
room
on
the
fourth
floor
at
7
pm
two
weeks
from
tomorrow,
when
I'll
be
in
discussion
with
tracy
quitraki,
the
executive
editor
of
the
round
table
to
discuss
both
how
we
got
here
and
what
what
the
next
steps
are
in
that
process.
A
Next,
I
have
something
really
really
exciting.
I
want
to
recognize
some
folks
from
our
community
who
have
done
really
really
extraordinary
extraordinary
things
recently.
A
The
proclamation
being
issued
today
goes
as
follows:
whereas
parks
and
recreation
programs
are
an
integral
part
of
communities
throughout
this
country,
including
here
in
evanston
illinois,
and
whereas
our
parks
and
recreation
are
vitally
important
to
establishing
and
maintaining
the
quality
of
life
in
our
communities,
ensuring
the
health
of
all
citizens
and
contributing
to
the
economic
and
environmental
well-being
of
a
community
and
region,
and
whereas
parks
and
recreation
programs
build
healthy,
active
communities
that
aid
in
the
prevention
of
chronic
disease
provide
therapeutic
recreation
services
for
those
who
are
mentally
or
physically
disabled.
A
A
And
do
not
solve
technology
problems
that
are
that
reigns
supreme
over
all
other
circumstances,
a
human
being
might
encounter
in
these
these
dark
days
of
june
2022.
Give
me
one.
Second,
as
I
navigate
the
extraordinarily
secure
login
system,
I
promise
I'm
not
impersonating
myself,
you're
welcome
internet
there.
It
is
no
explanation
of
where
that
came
from,
but
give
me
one
moment,
as
I
pull
this
back
up
once
again,.
A
Therefore,
I
daniel
this
mayor
of
the
city
of
evanston
do
hereby
proclaim
july
2022
as
parks
and
recreation
month
in
the
city
of
evanston,
and
recognize
the
benefits
derived
from
parks
and
recreation
resources
on
this
27th
day
of
june
2022,
and
on
that
occasion
I
just
want
to
thank
our
parks
and
recreation
team
for
the
remarkable
work
they
do
to
ensure
that
our
whole
community
benefits
from
these
very
qualities
that
were
just
described
in
the
proclamation.
A
A
Those
who
you'll
see
in
purple
shirts
were
medalists
from
the
illinois
games
held
this
summer
from
june
17th
through
19th
in
bloomington,
illinois,
illinois
state
and
those
you
see
in
red
shirts
are
from
the
us
games,
medalists
from
the
u.s
special
olympics
that
were
held
in
orlando
between
june
4th
and
june
12th.
A
I
want
to
call
out
five
of
those
special
olympians
five
of
those
athletes
who
were
successful.
First
of
all,
the
illinois
flag,
football
team
beat
maryland
25
20
to
18
gold
medal.
That's
right!
A
gold
medal.
A
D
C
F
A
Great
job
folks,
great
job
next
on
our
agenda
is
the
city
manager's,
public
announcements.
B
A
Good
evening,
based
on
my
handling
of
the
technological
and
other
technical
issues
up
here,
it
could
be
a
long
night.
Next
on
our
agenda
is
public
comment.
Everyone
this
evening
will
be
given
three
minutes
to
speak.
We
begin
with
those
who
signed
up
in
person
to
speak
in
person,
beginning
with
tina
payton.
H
Good
evening
again,
black
people
pack,
your
bags,
the
new
fifth
ward
school-
is
not
for
you.
The
remodel
family
focus
and
fleetwood
is
not
for
you.
The
new
town
homes
on
wesley
jackson,
foster
and
green
bay
that
are
proposed
are
not
for
you,
black
people.
You
won't
be
here
by
the
time
these
programs
and
homes
are
built.
H
We
were
promised
the
same
benefits
in
the
second
ward,
as
they
are
promising
you
in
the
fifth
ward,
new
jobs
and
new,
affordable
housing,
don't
believe
the
hype
I
live
at
emerson
and
east
railroad.
My
neighborhood
was
low
to
mid
income,
black
people,
we
live
by
the
city,
dump
the
levy
center
and
the
dog
pound,
which
is
now
the
farmers
market.
H
First,
chicken
shack
the
black
ymca,
which
we
could
not
go
to
the
black
to
the
white
ymca
on
grove
and
the
first
black
livery
butler
building
the
city
of
evanston
decided
to
create
a
research
park
and
black
people
had
to
go.
Eminent
domain
appears
and
my
black
neighbors
disappeared,
30
years
later,
no
research
park.
H
Instead,
I'm
the
only
house
left.
My
new
neighbors
are
northwestern
e-2,
the
reserve
truly,
the
link,
the
avador
1717
ridge,
grand
bend,
farmers
market
and
more
black
people.
Black
businesses
and
black
opportunity
is
gone.
So,
while
your
aldermen
are
leading
you
to
believe
that
they
are
anti-gentrification
and
anti-displacement,
let
their
actions
show
you
tonight
by
their
votes.
H
H
It
was
okay
when
I
was
living
by
the
city
dump,
but
when
my
house
is
now
called
downtown
evanston,
I
shouldn't
be
here
so,
if
you
think
black
people,
if
you
think
that
there's
people
here
on
the
diocese
that
are
voting
on
tonight,
to
buy
a
white
woman's
house
and
promising
you
affordable
housing
with
no
stipulations,
you're,
mistaken
and
you're
gonna,
be
just
like
my
neighbors,
not
in
evanston
black
lives
matter.
All
the
time
not
sometimes.
I
Hello,
my
name
is
jeff
masters
I
live
at
1918
wesley.
Our
property
is
on
the
other
across
the
alley
from
us
is
part
of
the
properties
that
you're
going
to
talk
about
today,
and
I
guess
it's
a
9,
the
resolution
to
purchase
these
properties,
the
boarded
up
properties
on
emerson
jackson.
I
come
in
favor
of
the
city
buying
these
properties.
I
think
it's
a
good
move
to
take.
I
think,
affordable
housing
is
a
really
important
piece
for
evanston.
I
I
think
that,
really
to
get
good,
affordable,
housing,
it's
going
to
take
government
to
come
in
to
have
land
to
do
that.
This
fits,
I
think,
with
what
we'd
like
to
see,
I
think
the
neighborhood.
As
you
know,
we've
had
some
issues
with
a
previous
development
that
was
about
height
and
really
trying
to
keep
the
character
of
the
neighborhood.
I
think
we
still
feel
strongly
that
we'd
like
to
keep
something
reasonable,
but
we
feel
also
that
working
with
the
city
would
be
preferable
to
working
with
the
current
property
owner.
F
J
Hello,
thank
you
for
letting
us
speak
tonight.
I'm
at
megan
novara.
I
live
at
the
2000
block
of
darrow
and
I'm
here
to
speak
in
support
of
the
proposal
for
purchasing
the
seven
parcels
on
jackson
and
emerson
and
pretty
much
echo
a
lot
of
what
jeff
said
that
I
think
it
seems
like
a
good
idea
in
general
that
when
market
forces
are
so
strong
that
we
use
the
strongest
force
that
we
have,
which
is
the
collective
power
of
the
city
government
to
own
and
manage
properties,
housing
versus
partnering
with
developers.
J
And
I
think
that
purchasing
these
will
be
able
to
allow
us
to
hold
on
to
something
that
is
in
place
already
and
make
it
better
in
terms
of
making
larger
scale
developments,
making
the
number
of
units
for
affordable
housing
significantly
larger
and
I'm
interested
in
seeing
if
we
are
able
to
move
forward
with
some
kind
of
commission
on
housing
for
the
city
of
evanston.
Thank
you.
K
Hi
good
evening,
city
council,
I
live
in
the
second
ward
of
peter
greatways
ward,
I'm
here
tonight
on
behalf
of
bobby
burns,
because
he
did
explain
to
me
about
that
property.
I'm
a
third
generation
evanstonian,
my
grandmother
moved
here
from,
I
think
benton
harbor
michigan.
K
K
I
mean
gated
up
and
I
was
just
wondering
what
was
happening
with
it
and
bobby
told
me
that
they
were
trying
to
get
affordable
housing
there
and
since
the
fifth
ward
has
been
like
a
beacon
for,
like
the
black
community,
my
mom
norma
easton.
She
used
to
be
on
the
school
board
and
she
was
one
of
the
ones
that
wanted
the
school
to
stay
in
the
fifth
ward:
that's
not
there
and
hopefully
we'll
get
that
stem
school
going.
K
So,
congratulations
for
you
all
for
that,
but
I'm
just
letting
you
know
that
we
do
need
affordable
housing,
there's
people
that
work
in
evanston
and
still
want
to
be
able
to
afford
nice
housing
here
in
evanston.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening.
I
appreciate
you
all.
Okay,.
A
F
L
L
959-5-20
noise
is
prohibited,
I'm
here
it's
very
difficult
for
me
to
be
here,
but
it's
such
a
mental
health
issue
for
me,
so
I
decided
I
have
to
kind
of
come
out
and
face
give
some
feedback
specifically
on
the
section
g,
the
radioloud
speakers
and
musical
instruments.
L
And
I
would
also
encourage
you
to
remove
the
50
ft
stipulation
just
because
if
it's
it's
a
condominium,
it
would
be
really
difficult
to
measure
the
distance
so
yeah.
That's
my
public
comment.
Thank
you.
So
much
hope
you
have
a
good
evening
and
yeah.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
That
concludes
the
people
who
signed
up
on
this
sheet.
I
have
here,
one
person
signed
up
online
to
speak
in
person,
and
that
is
mary
keith
kelly.
M
M
Another
reason
to
support
ranked
choice
voting
for
our
municipal
elections
is
that
it
would
eliminate
the
need
for
a
primary
election.
The
primary
narrows
the
field
in
each
race
to
two
candidates
with
ranked
choice.
Voting
only
one
election
would
be
necessary
and
this
would
save
the
city
money
and
increase
voter
participation.
M
A
I
want
to
mention
the
two
people
holly
hoffman
and
mike
hoffman,
both
submitted
online
comments
in
support
of
the
purchase
of
the
pars
of
the
parcels
on
jackson,
emerson
and
those
will
be
forwarded
to
council
in
due
course,
and
this
then
brings
us
to
those
who
signed
up
to
give
public
comment
remotely
beginning
with
eric
potters,
who
will
be
followed
by
mike
vasilco
and
then
leslie
williams
is
mr
potter's.
There.
N
Yes,
I'm
here,
can
you
hear
me
go
ahead?
Yes,
my
name
is
eric
potters,
I'm
a
fourth
generation
chicagoan,
and
I'm
going
to
be
speaking
about
the
july
parks
and
recreation
proclamation
that
you
had
met,
I'm
going
to
be
sharing
my
screen
and
corporation
console
if
you'd
like
me
to
actually
send
you
these
links.
N
I'd
like
to
like
you
to
really
just
take
a
look
at
these
well,
I
can't
share
my
screen.
It
looks
like
somebody's
disabled
that
there's
a
case
law
from
the
state
of
oregon,
specifically
from
the
supreme
court
that
I'm
going
to
be
sending
to
you
about
the
oregon
beach
bill,
which
is
oregon,
oregon,
revised
statutes,
390.605
755
and
it
basically
states
that
a
hotel
at
one
point
tried
blocking
off
access
to
beaches.
So
my
question
for
you,
sir,
with
the
362
miles
of
oregon
coastline
that
are
state-owned.
N
What
does
it
basically
come
down
to
with
the
entrancing
and
exiting
of
the
lake,
specifically
with
lighthouse
beach,
as
as
you
have
done,
you
have
now
been
charging
three
dollars
an
hour
for
people
to
park
between
the
hours
of
8
a.m
and
9
p.m.
There
is
beach
access
at
lighthouse,
beach
between
6
a.m
and
8
a.m
and
9
00
p.m
and
11
p.m.
N
And
if
I
was
able
to
share
my
screen,
I'd
be
able
to
show
you
this
case
law
from
the
state
of
oregon,
which
went
to
the
supreme
court
and
in
2013
there
was
a
centennial
of
an
important
year
for
oregon
beaches
from
1913,
which
talked
about
the
state.
The
state
land
board,
selling
tide
lands
to
private
upland
owners.
N
I've
I've
seen
the
work,
that's
being
done
on
the
mansion
that
sits
at
lighthouse
beach,
I'm
not
sure
where
that
funding
is
coming
from
if
it's
privatized
funding
or
if
it's
coming
from
the
city
of
evanston,
but
I'm
unable
to
share
my
screen.
For
some
reason.
Somebody's
actually
blocked
me
from
sharing
my
screen.
But
I
would
like
you
to
look
like
I
said
a
case
law
390.605-755.
N
N
C
A
O
Thank
you
so
really
two
points,
and
the
first
comment
is
really
for
aldman
bobby
burns,
because
I
believe
he
was
the
one
that
put
forth
the
amendment
for
the
design
and
project
review
amendment.
O
If
you
can
believe,
what's
reported
on
edliston
now,
this
amendment
will
limit
or
even
eliminate
public
participation
and
comment,
and
I
don't
know
if
that's
true
or
not,
I've
been
told
that
maybe
that
isn't
100
true,
but
I
guess
I'd
like
to
hear
from
bobby
burns
to
clarify
that
the
second
item,
I'd
like
to
counsel
and
I've
written
to
the
council,
to
postpone
r1
the
ring
choice.
Voting,
I'm
asking
you
to
do
that.
Just
because
we
haven't
been
informed
by
our
council
member
suffered
him.
O
In
the
sixth
ward,
we
haven't
had
a
council
a
award
meeting
to
have
the
people
that
spoke,
who
are
supposedly
experts
in
this,
come
to
award
meeting
to
explain
it
to
six
word
residents.
O
I've
written
the
council
members
suffered
him.
I've
left
the
phone
message
for
council
members
suffered
in
and
for
whatever
reason
he
chooses
not
to
have
counsel
to
have
ward
meetings
every
other
award
is.
My
understanding
has
had
a
meeting
to
discuss
this
very
important
matter
of
changing
the
way,
evanston
votes
and
I
think,
until
all
evanston
residents
have
the
same
opportunity
to
be
educated
on
the
matter.
What
the
pros
and
cons,
I
think
you
should
hold
off
and.
O
A
P
Good
evening,
mayor
bis,
city,
council
and
city
staff,
I
am
leslie
williams,
the
president
of
the
community
alliance
for
better
government
and
I'm
commenting
on
resolution
47
r22,
the
proposed
purchase
of
the
properties
of
dimerson
and
jackson.
P
So
the
proposal
purchased
a
series
of
boarded
up
blighted
properties
to
be
redeveloped
as
a
mixed
income:
affordable
housing,
residential
development,
the
properties
would
be
purchased
with
the
blend
of
affordable
housing
funds
and
funds
from
the
west
evanston
tiff,
and
while
we
certainly
support
affordable
housing,
we
have
a
lot
of
concerns
in
terms
of
transparency
and
good
government.
In
this
proposal
this
seems
like
an
extremely
high
price
for
properties
in
terrible
condition
which
will
have
to
be
demolished.
P
According
to
the
memo,
the
owner
is
firm
on
sale,
price
and
believe
she
has
other
private
market
sales
options.
This
sounds
a
lot
like
the
old.
I
have
a
buyer
waiting,
so
you
better
make
up
your
mind
now,
which
is
the
oldest
sales
trick
in
the
book.
Has
the
city
done
an
appraisal
of
the
property?
Has
the
city
reached
out
to
developers
already
about
this
property
and
what
did
they
find
out?
Are
there
actually
other
people
interested
and
what
is
likely
to
be
the
market
value?
P
P
We're
also
curious
about
why
this
would
be
using
the
affordable
housing
fund.
The
properties
are
in
a
tif
district
and
by
statutes
gift
funds
can
be
used
to
finance,
affordable
housing,
whereas
this
project
would
drain
nearly
half
of
our
affordable
housing
fund.
P
Also,
we
want
to
know
how
this
project
will
fit
in
with
the
west
neighborhood
plan
residents
who
participated
in
planning.
The
planning
process
have
asked
for
more
green
space
for
houses
with
yards
parkways
and
trees.
They
wanted
it
rezoned
to
r3
so
that
there
wouldn't
be
very
tall
buildings.
So
what
residential
zoning
is
this
likely
to
follow?
P
And
if
this
purchase
is
supposed
to
be
a
part
of
a
broader
strategy
to
develop
affordable
housing?
What
exactly
is
the
plan
for
affordability?
Is
it
for
ownership
for
rental?
What
percentage
ratio
of
the
homes
will
be
affordable
and
for
rental?
Rentals,
this
would
have
to
be
60
of
the
area
median
income,
which
would
be
which
would
be
54
000
for
homes.
P
But,
what's
really
surprising
is
that
there
have
been
so
there's
been
so
little
in
terms
of
community
of
community
communication.
Have
there
been
any
community
meetings
about
this
property
and
asking
what
residents
want
done
with
it?
The
memo
says
there
will
be
a
community
engagement
process
after
the
property
has
been
purchased,
but
city
staff
and
council
members
should
have
been
reaching
out
to
residents
long
before
bringing
this
purchase
forward.
P
A
Q
Q
Q
There
was
a
hearing
and
stuff
for
issue
for
the
zoning
of
the
tiff
area
and
the
zoning
for
the
whole
west
side
going
from
dodge
back
to
green
bay
road.
So
we
they
told
it
was
zoning.
They
told
everybody
that
it
was.
The
neighborhood
was
planning
group,
it
wasn't
the
neighborhood
plant.
The
neighborhood
plan
was
from
church
to
canal
from
dodge
to
green
bay,
and
when
we
finished
the
report
the
city
said
now
you
have
to
take
it
to
bridge
that
wasn't
what
it
was
supposed
to
be.
Q
Q
I
can't
think
of
his
mom
baptiste
said
we
could
have
a
meeting
in
january.
They
called
the
meeting
in
january
around
new
year's.
It
was
new
year
january.
The
7th
the
people
was
away
from
the
holiday,
we
did
meet
and
they
did
vote
on
it,
but
to
the
father
tiff
we
wouldn't
have
got
it's
not
what
they
said.
They
told
us
that
they
couldn't
do
tiff
money
for
affordable
housing.
Q
C
Q
F
Q
A
It
looks
like
she's
not
available
at
this
time,
so
the
next
speaker
then,
will
be
trisha
connelly,
who
will
be
followed
by
mary
rozinski.
R
Okay,
great
thanks,
so
I'm
speaking
also
about
the
most
popular
thing
tonight,
emerson
in
jackson,
I
think
it's
great
that
the
city
is
looking
to
actually
put
some
money
toward
land
as
it
should
on
behalf
of
the
people
of
evanston.
R
One
of
them
is,
you
know
at
the
top
of
my
head
a
few
months
ago,
maybe
a
month
ago,
you
know
there
were
trees,
cut
down
all
over
that
property,
and
I
guess
what
I
really
wonder
is
that
it's
kind
of
interesting
we've
cut
this
possible
deal,
and
I
am
just
kind
of
scratching
my
head
wondering
how
could
council
member
burns
be
so
naive,
not
to
know
at
the
point
those
trees
were
getting
chopped
down,
that
there
wasn't
a
deal
in
the
works,
so
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
publicly.
R
I
real
that's
really
concerning
to
me.
In
addition
to
some
other
questions
about
the
property,
what
will
you
commit
to
as
elected
officials,
to
making
sure
there
is
great
canopy
coverage?
No
matter
what
goes
up
there,
and
my
hope
is
that,
of
course,
you're
listening
to
the
neighbors
within
that
area
about
what
they
do
and
don't
want
there
and
what
would
be
honoring
people
regardless
of
income
level?
R
And
you
know
I'm
talking
about
not
luxury
people,
but
people
who
you
know
any
of
us
deserve
space
with
green
space
and
not
being
stacked
up
upon
each
other.
You
know
what
kind
of
goal
do
we
have
around
that,
and
this
should
be
something
that
stays
in
an
affordable
range
and
we
haven't
talked
about
what
that
is,
but
you
know
30
to
60
percent.
I
think
really
is
saying
something
so
that
people
can
survive
and
live
there.
F
A
R
R
S
S
So
something
feels
off
with
these
numbers
or
we
are
not
treating
our
car
as
well.
So
you
know,
I
know
it's
in
the
overall
scheme
of
a
300
million
dollar
budget,
what
plus
or
minus
it
seems
small,
but
every
you
know,
5
000,
here
300
a
year
over
a
period
of
time
adds
up.
So
I
just
don't
understand.
I
had
a
nissan
at
one
point
and
I
was
not
paying
anywhere
close
to
that
and
we
can
get
extended.
Leases
pay
a
little
bit
more
that
to
cover
the
extended
mileage.
S
So
just
something
to
think
about
second
of
all
is
p3
dapper.
The
problem,
I
don't
think
dapper
should
exist.
Actually,
I
think
that
we
have
a
zoning
code
and
I
think
that
city
staff
should
should
just
have
either
you're
meeting
it
or
you
don't
and
then
check
off.
Everyone
does
their
thing
and
then
sends
it
to
the
land
use
commission,
but
this
sort
of
hybrid
project
that
they
have
where
they
don't
want
public
input.
Yet
they
are
still
going
to
be
doing.
S
Recommendations
is
not
good
for
residents
because,
unfortunately,
there's
a
big
precedent
where
city
staff
has
been
recommending
projects
that
are
so
outside
of
any
reasonable
zoning,
and
if
we
don't
have
the
ability
to
get
in
there
at
the
beginning,
we
don't
even
know
about
it
until
it's
already
being
recommended.
I
think
I
could
name
seven
things
right
off
the
top
of
my
head,
where
staff
has
recommended
things
that
are
way
outside
zoning,
but
I
don't
think
our
staff
should
be
recommending.
I
think
they
should
be
telling
us
this
needs
zoning
it
doesn't.
S
There
is
enough
parking
or
they're
short
25
spaces,
whatever
that
is.
They
should
just
give
the
facts
and
then
let
the
planned
commission
do
what
their
the
land
commission
do.
Yeah.
The
last
thing
I'll
speak
to
is
a9,
which
is
the
jackson
property.
I
spoke
earlier
on
this
and
I
know
I
was
I
was
concerned
because
there
wasn't
an
appraisal
in
the
packet
and
then
I
was
told:
well,
you
can
foia
the
pat.
You
can
foil
the
appraisal,
but
that
should
have
been
in
the
packet
for
people.
S
Why
do
we
have
to
foia
information
again
that
deals
with
the
money
that
our
taxpayers
are
spending,
so
I
feel
like
that
should
be
put
on
the
pack
put
available
right
now
without
me
having
to
go
for
it.
But
the
point
of
the
matter
is:
is
that
property
was
on
the
market
in
2005?
I
mean
2021
for
a
million
five,
so
just
because
the
appraisal
I'd
like
to
see
the
contents
that
the
appraisal
came
up
with
for
15.
F
S
F
A
Thank
you.
That
concludes
this
evening's
public
comment.
This
brings
us
to
the
consent
agenda.
Are
there
any
items
that
members
would
like
to
see
removed
from
the
consent
agenda.
D
F
T
F
D
F
U
F
U
F
C
F
U
Actually,
let
me
instead
of
pulling
off
a7
for.
U
A
All
right,
so
let
me
just
read
this
out
loud
again:
the
updated
running
total
of
is
a
3,
a
8,
a
9,
a
10
p,
4,
h,
1,
h,
2
and
r
1.
A
A
A
E
A
Okay
I'll
do
this
cool
and
I
will
do
my
best
to
notice
that
and
then
the
less
I
noticed,
the
more
you
know
dramatic.
Your
gesticulations
ought
to
be
we'll
have
a
good
evening.
So
before
we
do
a
vote,
then
council
member,
do
you
want
to
state
what
you're
going
to
state
about
a11.
E
Yeah
so
a11,
I
guess,
will
remain
on
the
consent
agenda.
It
passed
out
of
committee
with
an
amendment
so
ordinance
30-0-22
has
been
amended
deleting
the
200
fee
for
v-plates
and
replacing
that
with
a
25
fee
for
all
vehicles
up
to
including
8
000
of
the
license
plate
type.
That
would
include
passenger
fp
and
b
plates
great.
A
A
A
A
Oops
council
member
braidplate
withdraws
his
motion
and
reinstates
a
motion
that
also
removes
p2
from
the
content
agenda
because
it
was
tabled
in
committee
and
is
not
eligible
for
a
vote
on
the
floor
tonight.
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
Telepathic
procedural,
maneuver,
council.
A
But
p4
was
pulled
off
anyhow
by
someone
who
wants
to
discuss
it.
So
just
for
those
of
you
keeping
a
score,
the
items
have
been
removed
are
now
there's
not
one
more.
So
it's
a
6,
a
7
8
8,
a
9,
a
10,
p,
2,
p,
4,
h,
1,
h,
2
and
r1.
A
A
Aye
with
nine
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
the
consent
agenda
passes
and
we
have
left
now
the
remaining
10
items,
and
so
I'm
going
to
ask
council
member
newsman.
If
you
would
like
to
make
a
motion
on
item
a6.
Mr.
E
A
D
W
Mr
mayor
city,
clerk
or
member
of
the
council
look
deterra,
I'm
filling
right
now
for
the
facilities
in
fleet
manager.
Yes,
long
story
short.
Yes,
this
is
the
number
which
we
spent
for
this
car
for
nine
years,
because
we
only
don't
charge
the
price
of
the
parts,
but
also
how
much
mechanics
spend
hours
working
on
the
vehicle.
So
when
we
log
in
as
a
telemetrics,
we
mark
how
many
hours,
how
many
outside
vendors
visit
this
this
cars
equipped
with
the
license
recognition
software.
It's
also
cost
to
install
this
vehicle.
W
D
W
Because
fleet
management
have
to
have
this
standards,
which
you
have
to
follow,
like
recording
all
the
repairs
and
the
hours
which
we
spent
on
the
vehicle.
Okay,
thank
you
and
I
just
want
to
clarify
this
is
the
lease
to
own.
So
I
know
those
questions
about
eight
hundred
dollars
per
month,
because
we
own
in
the
vehicle
after
three
years,
leases,
who
are
you
have
to
give
up
after
three
years
are
cheaper,
but
this
will
be
our
vehicle
got.
U
Oh
okay,
thank
you
lucas
for
that
well
wishes
to
or
to
mr
trolic.
If
he's
not
here,
and
he
didn't
give
us
a
call,
he
must
either
be
on
vacation
or
sick,
and
so
whatever
it
is,
I'm
hoping
that
he's
feeling
well
excuse.
T
A
A
U
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
say
they're,
not
here
anymore,
but
we
had
our
partners
from
northwestern
professor
easterday
and
his
crew
here
earlier,
we
had
matthew,
oren
who's,
the
staff
for
the
participatory
budgeting
committee
here
earlier.
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
them
for
all
of
their
work
to
get
us
to
this
point.
This
is
in
result
of
the
city
of
evanston,
contributing
over
three
million
dollars
toward
participatory
budgeting.
U
This
will
be
one
of
the
largest
participatory
budgeting
experiments
in
america,
and
so
I'm
really
proud
of
this
body
for
taking
this
step-
and
this
is
the
first
step
we're
going
to
work
with
northwestern
as
a
partner
to
do
outreach
a8,
which
we
don't
need
to
talk
about.
I
guess,
since
it's
but
we'll
also
hire
two
seasonal
staff
folks
to
help
alleviate
some
of
the
pressures
that
this
may
the
burden
that
this
may
place
on
staff-
and
you
know
for
residents
that
are
interested
in
getting
involved.
U
You
can
reach
out
start
reaching
out.
The
next
pb
committee
meeting
will
start
to
decide
what
the
steering
committee
process
looks
like
and
what's
great
about
this
process.
Is
that
the
voters
of
evanston,
the
residents
of
evanston,
will
have
an
opportunity
to
directly
decide
how
over
3
million
dollars
is
spent?
3
million
in
opera
funds
are
spent
and
will
directly
vote
on
those
funds,
as
opposed
to
the
council
voting
on
those
funds,
and
so
this
is
a
really
great
experiment
for
the
city
and
looking
forward
to
it.
X
A
E
A
A
With
nine
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
item
a8
passes
council
member
newsman,
would
you
like
to
make
a
motion
item
a9?
Mr.
A
Y
This
is
seven
parcels
near
jackson
and
emerson
that
were
previously
naturally
occurring,
affordable,
housing
before
my
time
in
office
over
a
period
of
time
residents
were,
I
don't
believe
I
don't
think
the
leases
were
resigned
by
the
property
owners
and
you
get
a
mix
of
information.
Some
people,
I
think,
might
have
been
paid
to
leave
and
others
I
don't
know
the
history,
but
they
were
they,
the
leases,
weren't
renewed
and,
and
they
left
and
again
this
was
naturally
occurring,
affordable
housing.
Y
Y
Also
made
sure
that
any
that
violations
for
the
lack
of
the
property
owner,
maintaining
the
property
were
cited,
that
violations
were
noticed
and
that
violations
were
cited
and
if
need
be,
that
those
violations
will
go
through
the
local
administrative
hearing
department
and
that's
something
I
work
closely
with
staff
on
shortly
after
we,
the
staff
entered
into
a
rehabilitation
agreement
with
the
property
owner
of
these
seven
parcels,
where
she
agreed
after
a
period
of
time,
to
either
demo
the
properties
or
to
develop
them.
Y
Y
It's
not
that
we
think
that
people
were
interested
in
this
property.
They
were
actively
reaching
out
to
myself
as
well
as
the
property
owner
I
met
with
them.
They
met
with
the
hear
to
stay
committee,
which
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
during
apw,
because
they're
also
interested
in
other
properties
in
the
fifth
ward,
and
so
I
knew
without
a
doubt
that
if
we
did
not
make
a
move
on
this
property
that
we
will
be
looking
at
ninety
percent
market
rate,
housing
and
10
percent
affordability,
because
this
would
have
triggered
our
inclusionary
housing
ordinance.
Y
The
the
facts
of
this
is:
if
we
do
not
get
involved
tonight,
this
will
be
sold
to
a
developer
that
is
going
to
put
in
90
market
rate
and
10
percent,
affordable
housing,
either
on
site
or
offsite,
depending
on
what
we
negotiate
and
so
over
the
last
several
weeks,
I
have
worked
with
the
property
owner
to
to
negotiate
a
deal
that
gets
the
city
site
control
of
these
parcels,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
the
affordability
that
was
there
is
preserved
and
that
we
also
have
an
opportunity
to
expand
it.
Y
People
mention
the
land
trust
again.
We
have
a
local
land,
home
ownership,
land
trust
offered
by
sibo
community
partners
for
affordable
housing.
My
colleagues
up
here
will
recall
in
our
first
closed
session
meeting
about
this
item.
I
presented
to
you
two
letters,
one
from
rob,
anthony
from
community
partners
for
affordable
housing
and
riba
place
development,
keith
banks
and
one
from
hodc,
so
they
are
partnering.
They
are
aware
of
this.
Y
They
are,
they
are
in
support
of
it
and
they
guided
us
in
that
letter
about
what
is
possible
on
this
particular
site
and
community
engagement.
I
wanna
talk
a
little
bit
about
community
engagement.
So
for
those
who
who
who
know
me,
I'm
a
very
transparent
person
almost
to
a
flaw.
I
do
not
hide
my
hand.
I
have
said
repeatedly
throughout
the
campaign
for
office
that
that
I
thought
it
would
be
a
great
opportunity
for
the
city
to
get
a
hold
of
these
parcels.
Y
I
did
not
hide
that
after
the
election
I
have
had
meetings
with.
We
have
a
block
club
leaders
meeting
some
of
the
the
earlier
guests
that
you
listen
to
are
from
that
block
club
leaders,
meeting
that
I've
convened
that's
block,
club
leaders
and
neighbors
from
all
around
the
fifth
ward.
It's
everyone
is
open.
If
you
are
in
a
block
club
or
a
neighborhood
part
of
a
neighborhood
group,
you
can
join
those
monthly
meetings,
so
they
were
aware
of
this.
Y
I
have
talked
to
the
wesley
neighborhood
block
club
group,
which
jeff
masters
here
today
is
a
part
of
that
group.
I
have.
Jackson
does
not
have
a
block
active
block
club
currently,
and
so
I've
talked
to
individuals
who
live
on
jackson
and
they
are
in
support
because
most
of
the
residents
who
live
in
jackson
that
I'm
in
touch
with
are
are
near
being
displaced
because
of
rising
costs
of
of
housing
in
evanston.
Y
One
that
I
can
think
of
in
particular,
reached
out
a
few
weeks
ago
saying
that
her
her
landlord
is
raising
the
rents
on
her,
and
she
asked
me
if,
if
there
was
any
affordable
housing
opportunities
in
the
city
and
I'll
close
with.
F
Y
F
F
Y
The
the
the
question
that
I
hate
to
get
not
because
I
don't
want
that-
I
don't
want
to
help,
but
that
I
feel
helpless
is
about
housing.
I
get
this
on
a
regular
basis.
Sarah,
flax,
our
housing
and
grants
manager,
I'm
sure,
gets
this.
I'm
sure
we
all
get
it
to
varying
degrees,
people
calling
us
and
saying
they
need
affordable,
housing
or
they're
going
to
have
to
leave
evanston
and
I
feel
helpless.
Y
We
do
not
have
enough
of
it,
and-
and
so
this
is
an
opportunity
to
again
go
from
what
would
100
percent
have
been
90
market
rate
to
10,
affordable
to
something
that
is
affordable,
we'll
have
a
conversation
with
the
community
about
what
that
looks
like
this
is
an
acquisition
deal,
but
we're
not
going
to
make
any
decisions
without
a
robust
community
engagement
process
and
rfp
process
and
whatever
else
it
takes.
Thank
you.
U
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
echo
those
statements
and
said
I'm
in
full
support
of
the
city
gaining
site
control
here.
One
thing:
I
think
that
council
member
burns
didn't
touch
on
was
an
appraisal
and
an
appraisal
has
been
done
on
this
property.
You
know
it's
fair
market
value.
What
we're
asking
I
don't
think
anyone's
getting
rewarded,
and
you
know
we
we
had
folks
come
out
who
have
you
know,
stated
issued
some
statements
of
support
issued
statements
against
it.
U
You
know
I
I
my
family
moved
here
to
evanston
we
had
someone
mention
they're,
a
third
generation.
I
am
a
you
know.
Fourth
generation
evanstonian,
my
family
moved
here
in
the
1920s
from
south
carolina
after
in
the
in
an
attempt
to
escape.
U
You
know
the
racism
and
violent
lynching
that
happened
down
there,
that
many
of
us
are
familiar
with
through
the
late
historian,
doria,
johnson
and
my
family
settled
here
in
evanston,
and
we
eventually
settled
in
the
19
early
late
1920s
early
on
emerson,
specifically
at
1419
emerson,
my
great
grandmother
and
her
her
mother
and
her
husband
and
my
and
my
grandmother
lived
in
that
house
and
my
great
uncle
and
generations
of
my
family
were
raised
there.
U
It
was
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
for
at
this
point,
almost
a
century,
because
my
great-grandmother
rented
out
the
small.
What's
now
colloquially
known
as
the
graffiti
house
to
neighbors-
and
I
remember
miss
terry-
who
was
a
neighbor
for
years
and
years-
and
I
you
know-
I
shared
this
with
the
council.
U
I
once
had
a
dream
of
buying
this
property
and
moving
back
there
and
raising
my
own
family
right
on
that
property,
and
so
this
is
somewhat
bittersweet
for
me
to
see
that
it's
going
to
be
demolished
and
that
you
know
this
is
going
away.
U
But
what
I
can't
think
of
a
better
way
to
honor
that
legacy
of
you
know
my
great
grandmother,
someone
who
made
sure
we
had
affordable
housing
not
only
for
ourselves
but
for
for
neighbors,
was
a
big
piece
of
the
community,
cecilia
stewart,
and
I
I
can't
see
a
greater
way
to
honor
that
legacy
of
many
african
americans
who
moved
to
this
community
work
together
to
provide
provide,
affordable
housing
for
other
folks
who
could
not,
you
know,
attain
it
on
their
own
and
to
provide
affordable
housing
right
on
this
site
more
than
just
a
single
family
dwelling.
U
But
you
know
upwards
of
you
know
30.
I
won't
say
how
many
we
can
maybe
get
there.
But
you
know
a
minimum
of
30
units
is
really
appealing
and
I
think
really
honors,
that
legacy
of
of
my
great
grandmother
and
many
others
in
our
community
who
fought
really
hard
and
worked
collectively
to
to
make
sure
that
you
know
all
members
of
the
community,
particularly
members
of
their
community,
the
black
community
had
safe,
affordable
housing
in
that
area.
Thank
you.
Z
Thank
you,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
to
really
like
about
this.
I
do
have
a
question
for
staff
regarding
the
anticipated
funding
source
for
securing
and
demolishing
the
properties
once
the
city
does
own
them,
that's
a
substantial
expense
and
what's
the
plan,
what's
the
funding
source,
what's
the
estimated
amount,
that'll
cost
sure.
AA
Thank
you,
council
member
suffered
and
mr
mayor
members
of
the
council
on
paul
zalmazak.
I
serve
as
the
economic
development
manager.
The
question
was:
what
is
the
source
for
demolition.
AA
To
pay
for
the
depression
correct,
so
that
is
it's
a
tailor
made
it's
a
tiff.
We
would
recommend
tiff.
That's
tiff's
tailor
made
for
that.
Okay.
Z
Z
Z
That's
my
only
question.
Thank
you
all
right,
you're
welcome.
D
Thank
you.
I
also
I
agree.
I,
as
I
stated
earlier,
I
very
much
love
the
idea
of
the
city
purchasing
property
in
order
to
ensure
affordability
and
perpetuity
I've.
I
have
several
questions,
so
I
want
to
preface
with
that.
So
there
was
some
question
as
to
when
the
appraisal
was
done.
Do
you
know
mr
zalmanzak.
AA
D
Thank
you,
and
can
you
so
the
how
this
is,
how
we're
porting
money
from
the
west
end
to
the
fifth
ward
and
also
the
the
the
tiff
money
that
you
reference
in
response
to
alderman
suffered
in
is
that
west
end
of
money
or
fifth
ward.
AA
Correct
so
the
the
way
it's
proposed
tonight,
we
have
an
affordable
housing
fund
in
tiff.
The
tip
that
we're
referencing
is
the
west
evanston
tiff,
because
we
know
how
much
money
is
in
that
tif
there's
4.1
million
dollars.
The
the
funds
for
the
five
fifths
stiff
have
not
flowed
into
that
that
tiff.
Yet
that
will
happen
in
the
fall
and
the
second
collection
or
in
september,
when
the
second
collection
is
is
made
cook
county.
So
at
that
point,
we'll
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
that
tiff
will
generate.
AA
D
AA
AA
You'd
make
that
agreement
now
and
then
that
would
be
a
simple
accounting
maneuver
just
with.
D
I
mean
those
are
the
sort
of
things
I
would
like
to
see
in
this
resolution.
I
think
that
a
lot
of
people
there's
a
lot
that
I
think,
would
be
great
if
it
were
stipulated
again
love
the
concept,
but
also
do
we
know
maybe
alderman
burns.
You
can
speak
to
it.
What
is
this
for?
To
build,
to
build
wealth?
Is
this
for
ownership,
affordable
ownership
or
for
rental?
What
is
the?
What
are
you
thinking.
D
Community
also
wants
for
the
sake
of
transparency
and
trust.
Is
there
any
right
now
idea
whether
it's
going
to
be
for
ownership
or
for
rental
again.
Y
I'm
not
going
to
make
that
decision
on
my
own.
The
only
thing
I'm
comfortable
doing
today
is
getting
site
control
in
in
an
area
that
would
have
been
90
percent
market
rate.
D
D
D
I
think
that's
part
of
the
issue,
though
I
think
that
discussion
really
needs
to
happen.
I
think
people
need
some
assurance
and
trust
that
going
forward.
We
are
going
to
have
a
certain
percent
of
a
ratio
of
affordability
that
the
community
is
interested
in
as
well
as
knowing
that
the
funds
will
be
returned
to
the
west
end
to
forward
to
the
to
the
affordable
housing.
I
think
all
these
things,
I
think
people
will
support
that
again.
D
I
love
the
concept
of
it,
but
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
missing
pieces
here
that
could
be
easily
stated
and
stipulated
in
the
resolution
so
like
that,
like
the
ratio
of
affordability,
whether
it's
going
to
be
for
ownership
building
wealth
or
for
rental,
or
you
know
what
we're
going
to
do,
you
know
once
once
the
increment
funds
do
flow
into
the
fifth
ward
tif
if
that'll
be
returned,
I
think
there's
just
many
questions
and
I
could
support
it,
but
I
think
we,
these
really
should
be
stipulated.
D
There
should
be
a
meeting
and
then
stipulated.
If
this
is,
I
think
you
know
when
you
move
in
concert
with
the
community
things
work
out.
So
much
better
when
you
move
in
partnership
with
the
neighbors,
then
we're
going
to
get
a
successful
project.
So
that's
what
I
would
ask
that
these
items
be
discussed
with
the
community
and
then
stipulated.
I
think
there's
no
reason
that
that
can't
happen
or
could
not
have
happened.
Thank
you.
E
AA
Council,
member
nuzmo
we
early
on
got
a
quote
from
a
traditional
wrecking
company
that
cost
was
somewhere
in
the
range
of
a
hundred
thousand.
It
was
ninety
eight
thousand
two
hundred
and
the
evanston
rebuilding
warehouse
local
company.
They
have
given
us
a
range
just
based
on
kind
of
a
windshield
survey
of
the
sites
of
somewhere
between
200
and
400
000.
They
need
to
access
the
property.
AA
They
have
not
been
able
to
do
so
because
the
owner
would
like
for
the
property
to
be
under
contract
before
somebody
accesses
it.
So.
AA
AA
Yes,
in
our
internal
discussions,
chief
polyp
indicated
that
it
would
be
very
helpful
for
the
fire
department
to
have
some
real
life
training
in
the
facility.
There
would
not
be
any
fire
taking
place,
they
would
do
other
because
of
the
condition
of
the
building
they
would
use
smoke
and
other
things
to
simulate
fire,
but
not
actually
burn
things.
Thank
you.
You're
welcome.
A
Council
member,
when
followed
by
a
breakthrough.
AB
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
I
am
also
strongly
in
favor
of
this,
and
I
think
that
this
is
similar
to
what
we
have
done
with
lot,
one,
which
is
the
the
relatively
unused
actually
very
seriously
unused
city
parking
lot
at
the
south
end
of
hinman,
it's
city-owned
asset,
which
we
are
going
to
have
a
significant
number
of
affordable
units
on
affordable
units,
the
size
that
we
know
we
need
in
evanston,
which
we
never
get
from
the
new
developments
that
occur
because
they
they
don't
build
three-bedroom
units
anymore.
AB
So
this
is
another
example
of
the
city
acquiring
property
and
it
with
the
instance
of
lot
one
we
owned
it
but
realized
it
was
unused,
and
but
this
is
how
we
are
able
to
design
and
describe
the
type
of
size
of
units
that
we
do
need
and
with
respect
to
lot
one,
we
weren't
certain
what
the
percentage
would
be
until
we
went
out
and
and
got
the
responses
to
the
request
for
proposal.
AB
But
there's
no
question
that
the
numbers
are
significantly
more
than
would
ever
occur
as
you've
described
councilmember
burns
if
it
were
private
development,
and
so
this.
This
is
the
best
way
that
I've
known
in
my
time
here
on
the
council
that
we
can
make
some
significant
headway
on
family
units
and
units
the
size
that
are
needed
in
our
community.
V
Councilmember.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
don't
really
think
there's
anything
new.
I
could
add
to
this
conversation
other
than
restating
that
you
know
we
often
talk
about
affordable
housing.
We've
been
doing
it
for
a
year,
and
here
you
see
a
large
investment
on
the
city
of
evanston
and
assuring
that
that
area
of
town
there's
going
to
be
affordable
housing.
V
I
shared
at
apnw
that
the
day
after
district
65
made
the
announcement
of
restoring
the
school
to
the
fifth
ward,
I
received
a
phone
call
from
a
realtor
asking
if
it's
true
and
that
there
are
people
that
are
ready
to
move
into
the
area.
So
that
is
a
fact
and
the
fact
that
you've
heard
from
alderman
burns
and
we've
still
have
con
some
conversation
now
that
there
will
be
more
community
meetings
to
hear
so.
V
D
So,
just
on
a
personal
note,
I'd
like
to
say
that
I,
I
hope-
and
I
think,
council
member
burns-
you
expressed
also
an
interest
in
this-
that,
as
you
as
everybody
knows,
we
have
many
affordable
units
that
are
sun
setting
and
they're
going
to
lose
their
affordability
that
I
hope
personally.
I
hope
that
we
will
have
a
large
number
of
affordable
units
that
are
affordable
in
perpetuity
either
through
a
community
community
land
trust
or
through
a
lec,
co-ops
limited
equity,
equity
cooperative
buildings.
D
I
just
don't
want
to
see
more
developments
going
up
where
the
affordability
is
lost,
also-
and
I
think,
but
again
it's
up
to
the
community
to
decide,
but
I
certainly
hope
that
we
will
be
moving
in
the
direction
of
of
affordable
units
that
are
affordable
forever.
Thank
you.
A
U
I'll
just
say
I
I
hope
to
see
a
nine
council
member
vote
on
this.
I
think
all
of
the
concerns
that
councilmember
kelly
has
raised,
I
think,
can
be
addressed.
This
is
not
the
place
to
address
those
concerns.
U
I
am
fully
supportive
of
addressing
those
concerns
and
the
first
thing
is
to
get
site
control,
and
so,
let's
show
the
black
community
of
evanston,
the
fifth
ward
of
evanston,
that
we're
ready
to
do
something
different
and
we're
ready
to
make
sure
that
affordability
is
put
on
the
forefront
and
we're
willing
to
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is.
For
the
first
time,
because
I
can
say
anyone
who's
complaining
about
this
and
folks
have
shared
public
comment.
U
You
know
about
how
their
neighborhood
is
changing,
name
a
time
where
the
city
has
spent
this
much
money
to
gain
sight,
control
of
this
large
of
a
parcel
of
land
in
the
fifth
ward,
and
then
tell
me
if
we
aren't
doing
something
different
and
if
we
aren't
putting
our
money
where
our
mouth
is.
That's
all.
E
A
U
I
just
pulled
this
off
because
I'm
gonna
be
voting.
No,
this
case
raises
something
I
think
evanstonian
should
be
concerned
about,
and
I
want
to
first
make
clear
to
the
officers
and
the
police
department
involved.
In
this
case.
U
I'm
not
saying
anybody
did
anything
that
was
against
the
rules
are
wrong,
but
what
I'm
saying
is
that
our
system
that
generally
allows
for
confidential
informants
to
be
compensated
by
the
city
to
make
claims
against
their
neighbors
in
a
process
that
is
not
allowed
to
be
made
transparent
in
the
courts,
particularly
for
cases
that
do
not
involve
the
direct
threat
of
the
confidential
informant
in
their
life.
U
I
think
this
is
akin
to
our
fisa
courts
at
the
federal
level,
and
it's
a
very
concerning
system
that
not
just
evanston
is
using,
but
communities
across
our
nation
are
using
confidential
informants
who
are
paid
by
the
city
to
to
make
claims
against
neighbors.
It's
it's
a
bad
system.
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
it.
This
lawsuit
should
really
make
us
think
about
that
system,
and
so
I'm
voting
no.
X
Y
A
C
F
A
Z
Yeah
I'd
like
to
move
to
table
this
to
the
second
meeting
in
july.
There's
some
misunderstanding
about
what
the
intent
is.
The
intent
is
to
broaden
opportunities
for
public
engagement
around
projects.
I
think
it's
probably
imperative
to
spend
some
time
making
that
clear
and
and
to
clean
up
some
of
the
questions.
So
that's
my
motion
that
we
table
is
the
second
meeting
in
july.
Second,.
A
Council
member
suffered
and
moves
to
table
item
p4
to
the
second
meeting
in
july,
which
I
think
is
july
25th,
council
member,
I
think
read
second,
is
that
correct?
Is
there
a
discussion
on
the
motion
of
the
table?
Is
that
a
light?
Councilman
okay,
see
no
discussion
with
the
clerk.
Please
call
the
role
on
the
motion
to
table.
E
A
Aye
with
nine
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
the
motion
carries,
and
this
item
will
be
on
the
july
25th
agenda
for
the
city
council
of
evanston.
This
brings
us
to
item
h1
council
member
revell.
Would
you
care
to
make
a
motion
on
item
h1.
A
U
I
move
item
h1
ordinance,
46022
deleting
title.
Oh
actually,
at
this
point,
it's
no
longer
doing
that,
but
move
ordinance,
460
22..
Second.
A
U
Yeah,
I'm
going
to
I'm
going
to
move
to
table
this
first.
I
want
to
very
quickly.
This
is
the
first
ordinance
appearing
on
a
council
agenda
that
was
a
part
of
a
package
of
ordinances
that
seek
to
address
issues
of
gender
equality,
address
issues
of
constitutionality,
of
laws
and
really
look
at
issues
that
will
reduce
the
number
of
opportunities
for
negative
interactions
with
law
enforcement.
U
I
I
don't
think
this
again.
This
is
the
first
of
a
number
individually.
I
don't
think
that
they
are
groundbreaking,
but
I
think
collectively
they
represent
a
change
in
the
way
that
we
approach
at
least
some
aspects
of
policing.
This
particular
ordinance
is
about
burglars
tools.
This
would
delete
our
ordinance
that
says
that
quote-unquote
burglars
tools,
the
possession
of,
as
I
said,
burglary
stools-
are
banned
in
the
city
of
evanston.
The
question
is:
what
is
a
burglar's
tool?
U
There
are
tools
that
can
be
used
in
the
commission
of
a
burglary.
This
was
moved
through
human
services.
There
was
an
amendment.
The
law
department
found
that
our
ordinance,
as
is,
is
in
fact,
has
been
found
in
violation
of
of
the
law
and
a
similar
ordinance
was
struck
down
previously.
U
The
question
is:
can
we
have
a
version
of
this
ordinance
that
mirrors
the
state
law
which
does
not
ban
the
possession
the
mere
possession
of
tools
that
can
be
used
in
the
commission
of
a
burglary,
but
it
requires
that
those
tools
are
actually
used
in
the
commission
of
a
burglar
with
the
intent
of
a
burglary
and
so
what
I
am
seeking,
and
so
what
is
before
us
is
not
a
complete
striking
but
a
mirroring
of
the
state
language
and
making
it
a
fine.
U
This
would
take
what
is
a
felony
charge
at
the
state
and
make
it
a
ticketable
offense
here
at
the
city,
and
I'm
perfectly
happy
to
do
that
as
long
as
we
are
able
to
do
that,
I'm
not
looking
to
replace
an
unlawful
ordinance
with
another
unlawful
ordinance
and
in
fact,
if
we
can
create
municipal
tickets
for
felonies
that
we
can
charge
folks
with
and
move
them
through
an
alternative
system.
This
could
have
huge
ramifications
for
criminal
justice
reform
across
our
state.
U
But
I'd
like
to
be
sure
that
that
is
true,
and
so
I
just
want
the
I
want
to
hold
this
and
have
the
law
department.
Maybe
work
with.
U
Nick,
what
is
the
firm
that
l
rod
freeman
to
just
double
check
and
see
if,
if
or
whoever
nick
sees
fit
to
see
if
they
also
agree
that
the
city
has
the
ability
to
regulate?
What
is
a
state
felony
charge
as
a
ticketable
offense
locally,
and
I'd
be
happy
to
do
that?
U
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
can,
and
I
appreciate
I
think,
council
member
heady
cuties
made
the
amendment
to
try
to
make
that
mirroring,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
can
do
it
and
if
we
can
I'm
happy
to
support
it,
it
achieves
the
goal
that
I
wanted
to
achieve.
If
we
can't
do
it,
we
still
would
have
to
strike
this
down
based
on
court
decisions.
U
U
Z
Thank
you.
I
guess
in
light
of
that,
this
is
a
question
for
council
cummings
albert
friedman's.
Not
gonna
do
that
for
free.
How
does
that
work
in
terms
of
how
we
pay
for
that.
AC
Good
evening,
mayor
members,
city,
council,
city,
clerk,
nicholas
cummings,
corporation
council,
so
anytime
we
engage
an
outside
law
firm
to
do
this
kind
of
research.
For
us
they
do
charge
us
an
hourly
rate.
We
are
a
fully
staffed
law
department,
although
blessings
to
alexander
rugby,
who
will
be
going
on
maternity
leave
on
wednesday,
but
otherwise
we
are
a
fully
staffed
law.
Department,
assistant
city
attorney,
mark
johnson
did
prepare
a
memo
for
human
services
and,
just
to
be
clear,
the
city
doesn't
have
the
authority
to
create
a
felony.
AC
U
I
just
want
to
get.
I
mean
this
is
a
really
huge.
You
know
change
if
we
can
regulate
felonies
as
municipal
ordinance
charges
that
that's
that
has
huge
ramifications
for
criminal
justice
reform
across
the
state,
and
I
just
want
to
be
sure
you
know
you
know.
I
get
a
second
opinion
to
make
sure
that
we
have
done
our
due
diligence
to
ensure
that's
what
we
can
do.
So,
if
that's
the
case,
we
can
move
forward
with
other
measures
that
accomplish
a
similar
goal.
Okay,.
AC
I
would
say
yes,
however,
if
the
will
of
the
council
is
for
me
to
spend
taxpayer
dollars
to
engage.
U
Well,
I
mean
if,
if
we're
not
interested
in
double
checking
to
make
sure
that
we
can
actually
do
this,
I'm
fine
just
passing
it
as
as
is
and
there'll
be
a
bunch
of
referrals
tonight
that
regulate
some
felony
charges
at
the
state,
as
as
municipal
charges
to
allow,
as
the
police
department
said,
they
want
this
as
a
tool,
so
they
can
choose
when
you
know
it's
appropriate
to
charge
someone
with
a
municipal
charge
rather
than
a
felony,
as
as
chief
eddington
expressed
in
one
case,
there's
a
young
man
who
would
have
been
charged
with
a
felony
who's
charged
with
the
local
code
violation
and
it
allowed
that
person
to
have
a
no
a
better
shot
at
living,
a
full
life.
U
U
Opinion
you
know,
we've
had
the
law
department
look
at
it.
I
just
think
it's
important
to
get
a
you
know,
as
I
trust
the
law
department.
I
think
their
research
on
this
is
good,
but
I
think
it's
something
as
big
and
as
new
as
this
should
just
have
a
second
set
of
eyes.
U
C
Z
C
A
Just
to
be
just
in
the
in
the
interest
of
pediatric
chair
stuff,
the
motion
now
is
to
pass
it.
A
kind
of
illusion
was
made
that
pretty
soon
there's
going
to
be
a
motion
to
hold
her
tablet
or
something
before
we
get
there,
though,
I
think
a
lot
of
people
all
of
a
sudden
are
interested
in
participating
in
discussion.
So
next
is
council
member
revell,
followed
by
braithwaite,
followed
by
burns.
T
AC
So
when
this
matter
came
before
human
services-
and
I
guess
I
could
let
councilmember
reed
explain
this-
but
when
that
was
the
original
intent
was
to
remove
the
code
and
then
eventually
it
became
an
amendment
to
mirror
the
state
law
so
that
there
could
be
alternatives.
I
mean
we
have
an
alternative
to
arrest
yeah
program
here
in
evanston,
and
so
this
would
would
be
one
of
those
alternatives.
AC
Instead
of
arresting
someone
for
a
felony,
we
have
city
ordinances
in
place
that
will
allow
someone
to
be
charged
a
fine
for
you
know
what
would
essentially
be
a
felony
act.
AC
No,
that
would
be
that
would
be
the
discretion
of
the
arresting
and
investigating
officers
on
which
to
charge
they
could.
If,
if
I
was
chief
eddington,
I
would
say
they
could
do
the
long
form
charge
or
the
short
form
charge
the
long
form
charge
being
you
know
what
goes
to
the
state's
attorney
versus
what
goes
administrative
hearings.
V
I
wish
I
had
my
notes
from
the
human
services
meeting.
I
I
don't
recall
this
getting
a
lot
of
support
in
human
services.
I
do
recall
the
conversation
in
reference
to
alternatives
to
arrest.
I
have
to
be
honest,
I
don't
recall
chief
eddington
asking
for
this
change
to
give
him
more
tools
and
resources,
I'm
I'm
ready
to
vote
and
unfortunately
I
am
not
in
support
of
this
big
idea.
To
be
honest,.
Y
I
was
going
to
say
that
I
am
also
interested
not
necessarily
an
outside
legal
counsel,
but
just
doing
a
double
check
on
that
question,
because
I
think
it
would
have
really
broad
implications
and
similar
to
councilman
reid,
looking
forward
to
it
being
true,
but
without
you
know
going
into
detail
it
just
it
doesn't
seem
like
it.
It
is
the
case.
So
again,
I'm
not.
I
don't
necessarily
think
we
need
outside
legal
counsel,
but
I
would
support
a
whole
to
to
further
review
that
that
legal
question.
U
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
note
for
councilman
breither
for
zanification.
You
did
leave
early
that
meeting
and
totally
understandable.
So
that
may
be
why
you
don't
remember
the
full
conversation,
but
in
fact
this
came
for
two
discussions,
but
chief
eddington.
If,
if
you
want,
I
mean
chief
eddington,
did
indicate
that
they've
used
the
charge.
That's
currently
on
the
books
to
as
an
alternative
to
arrest
and
chief
eddington
did
want
to
keep
a
version.
I
mean
he's
not
in
yes,
so
that's
for
your
own
edification
council
member
councilmember
braithwaite.
U
My
goal
originally
was
just
to
eliminate
the
law.
I
think
it's
council
member
revel
stated
there
is
a
state
charge.
I
am.
U
U
I
haven't
personally,
but
it's
I
can
imagine
it's
a
fairly
scary
thing
to
have
someone
break
into
your
house
and
I
think
that
the
state
charge
on
this
is
fine,
and
I
again
I
would
hope
that
we
can
do
this,
and
so
I
guess
I'm
also
supportive
of
if,
if
nick's
team
feels
like
they're
going
to
produce
something
different
than
they
already
produced,
they
did
their
research
and
I
think
it's
good
research.
I
just
think
this
is
an
untested
area.
This
is
something
you
know
that
has
not
been.
U
Want
to
make
a
motion
wrap
it
up
now,
if
we're
not.
If
we're
not
moving
toward
outside
counsel,
I'm
happy
to
just
just
strike
it,
as
I
think
we
originally
should,
and
just
have
the
state
code
prevail,
which
is
a
felony.
U
So
if
there's
support-
and
we
I
want
to
be
clear-
no
matter
what
we
have
to
change
something,
because
the
law
as
it
is
on
the
books
was
found
unlawful,
so
we
have
to
either
strike
it
or
mirror
the
state
language,
and
if
we
don't
strike
it
or
mirror
the
state
language,
you
know
those
are
really
our
only
two
options.
So
are
folks
supportive
of
striking
it,
because
that's
what
I'd
like
to
do.
A
Okay,
so
councilmember
reed
moves
to
amend,
item
p
no
daniel
come
on
h1,
so
is
to
simply
strike
the
any
reference
to
a
burglar
tool.
Offense
from
the
city
code
council,
member
revell
seconds,
councilmember
reed
you're
not
going
to
like
this,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
send
me
an
email
explaining
that
in
writing.
It's.
U
A
You,
the
council,
will
stand
at
ease
for
a
few
moments,
while
councilmember
reed
reduces
his
motion
to
writing.
D
AA
V
A
Yeah,
so
just
to
answer
councilmember
breath
rates
question.
That's
exactly
the
point
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
had
it
in
writing,
so
we
knew
exactly
what
we're
voting
on
so
stay
tuned
for
that.
In
the
meantime,
council
member
newsman
is
recognized
to
ask
a
question
of
staff.
E
Yes,
I
would
like
to
ask
interim
city
manager,
kelly
gandursky,
to
opine
on
the
potential
impact
of
this
of
this
motion.
Should
it
move
forward.
G
G
The
risk
you're
running
is
eliminating
that
option
for
alternative
prosecution
like
through
our
administrative
hearing
process,
and
only
then
will
the
officers
be
able
to
arrest
under
the
state
code
and
that
could
be
a
felony
charge,
so
you're
actually
creating
less
avenues
for
restorative
justice
by
eliminating
the
ordinance.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
the
council
is
aware
of
that.
G
So
if
you
eliminate
the
city
code
altogether,
the
only
alternative
in
a
case
where
an
officer
needs
to
make
an
arrest
for
such
a
crime
would
be
the
state
code
which
could
include
a
felony
charge.
So
there
would
not
be
an
alternative.
You'd
have
to
be
arrested
under
the
state
statute
fingerprinted
taken
to
skokie.
Now
you
have
a
record.
The
alternative
is
under
an
ordinance.
You
can
receive
a
ticket
and
go
to
administrative
hearings.
G
V
AC
Yes,
I'd
be
in
agreement
with
that
statement
in
terms
of
the
alternatives
and
also
I'm
pretty
confident
in
the
city's
ability
to
to
write
an
ordinance
like
this.
AC
A
So
just
so,
the
motion
on
the
floor,
which
was
made
by
councilmember,
reed
and
seconded
by
councilmember
revell,
which
I'm
emailing
to
everybody
right
now,
is
to
amend
h1
so
that,
instead
of
doing
what
the
packet
says
it
does.
Instead,
it
simply
strikes
title
9
chapter
5,
section
2
of
the
city
code.
U
Yeah
yeah
plenty
of
information
so,
as
we
have
two
folks
who
are
former
prosecutors
here,
does
the
state's
attorney's
office
not
have
the
independent
authority
with
looking
at
the
facts
of
the
case
to
to
make
bring
their
own
charges?
So,
even
if
someone
was
charged
under
the
local
ordinance,
you
know
the
local
ordinance.
They
would
all.
I
mean
they're
breaking
into
somebody's
house.
That's
what
we're
talking
about
here
and
so
wouldn't
the
the
state's
attorney
also
have
the
ability.
AC
So
the
local
ordinance
would
not
go
to
the
state's
attorney.
The
felony
charge
would
go
to
the
states
attorney
for
felony
review
for
them
to
determine
if
there
was
sufficient
evidence
to
move
forward
with
the
felony.
AC
In
my
experience,
if
felony
review
says
no,
you
usually
end
up
with
a
very
bad
misdemeanor
that
you
have
a
hard
time
trying
to
prove.
So.
Alternatively,
you
could
have
an
ordinance
ticket
which,
by
preponderance
of
the
evidence,
you
can
determine
if
someone
committed
the
violation
as
opposed
to
beyond
reasonable
doubt
in
the
criminal
courtroom.
AC
U
Right,
I
I
I
I
I
am
willing
to
if,
if
I
support
where
ultimate
revel
was
and
just
eliminating
this
code,
all
together,
if
that's
where
you
still
are,
if
you've
moved
away
from
that,
that's
fine!
But
if
we're
going
to
adopt
this
right
and
and
the
major
concern
is
creating
these
alternatives,
then
we're
going
to
have
some
they're
going
to
be
more
measures
coming
before
us
that
create
the
same
avenue
of
alternatives.
D
I
just
wondered
if
chief
eddington
would
be
interested
in
commenting
on
this
from
your
perspective,
if
that's
right,
I'm
sorry
to
bother
you
with
this
request,
but
I
thought
maybe
you
could
shut
a
little
light
on
good.
AD
Evening,
your
honor
members
of
the
council
and
city
manager,
I'm
council,
member
kelly,
I'll,
be
very
brief.
I
I
think
what
the
police
department
has
done
demonstrated
is
requesting
is
to
continue
to
have
the
option
when
to
apply
a
felony
charge
and
when
to
take
a
route
that
allows
for
some
alternatives
of
two
arrests
to
occur.
When
we
discussed
this
at
the
human
services
committee
meeting,
we
talked
about
two
individuals
were
charged
under
this
one
was
a
young
man
went
to
director
thompson's
programs
and
successfully
completed
them?
I
think
that's
what
you
want.
AD
At
least
that's
been
the
attitude
projected
me
both
times.
I've
been
chief
that
you're
looking
for
ways
to
reduce
the
stigmatization
of
arrest
and
look
for
ways,
alternatives
to
arrest,
to
address
these
issues,
and
so
this
gives
us
another
option
where
we're
not
saddling
somebody
with
the
felony
and
and
that
that's,
I
think,
that's
what
you
want
and
and
that's
what
we
that's,
how
we've
applied
it.
Thank
you.
A
U
Section
two
that
emotion:
I'm
seeing
thumbs
down
and
things
so
all
right.
U
A
There's
no,
that
which
is
already
made
so
you're
right,
okay,
so
in
that
case
the
motion
on
the
table
then,
is
unamended.
H1
just
regular
old
h1
in
the
in
oh
boy.
Everyone's
light
goes
on,
so
the
motion
on
the
table
still
is
h1
without
amendment,
but
there's
some
folks
who
want
to
speak
so
seeing
that
no
one
is
asking
to
speak
for
the
first
time,
we'll
go
to
council
member
kelly
with
4
minutes
and
45
seconds
left.
Y
Thank
you.
I
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
that
you
know
council
member
reid
has
said
that
the
current
ordinance
of
understanding.
J
Y
Correctly
is
not
constitutional,
so
is
that
a
correct
or
not
that
a
change
must
be
made?
That's
so
I
think
people
are
getting
a
little
confused.
I
just
want
to
re-center
us
if
possible,
the
existing
code,
even
if
we
feel
it's
been
applied
fairly
and
created
opportunities
for
restorative
justice
and
diversion
is
not
constitutional.
AC
AC
So,
yes,
if
someone
was
ticketed
for
this
offense
and
they
challenged
it,
saying
that
they
were
unlawfully
ticketed,
they
would
be
right
and
and
because
the
the
the
same
language
was
found
to
be
unconstitutional
in
chicago.
So
I
don't.
I
don't
want
us
to
get
into
the
the
mode
that
something
is
automatic
like
if,
if
challenged,
yes,
it's
going
to
get
thrown
out,
because
a
similar
ordinance
has
been
found
to
be
unconstitutional.
AC
AC
That
was
the
recommendation
from
internal
discussions
with
the
police
department
that
was
based
upon
research
from
assistant
city
attorney,
johnson
and
the
debate
by
the
human
services
committee.
So
the
amendment
before
you
guys
right
now
is
making
it
constitutional
and
enforceable
and
mirrors
the
state
law.
Y
And
and
the
ticket
option
again
with
this
current
constitutional
version
allows
our
events
and
police
department
to
do
the
diversion
work
that
chief
edington
mentioned,
and
I'm
not
saying
that
it's
more
so
for
my
colleagues,
because
I'm
just
reading
the
room,
I
think
people
are
a
little
confused,
so
we
need
to
pass
this.
If
you
want
the
diversion
and
you
want
to
be
in
line
with
the
constitution,
we
need
to
pass
it.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
okay.
Thank
you.
A
And
just
just
for
the
sake
of
my
own
making
sure
I've
not
lost
my
own
mind
you
had
spoken
before
member.
You
talked
about
how
you
weren't
sure,
if
we
needed
to
have
outside
counsel,
but
you
wanted
to
get
looked
at
again,
so
we'll
go
then
to
next
will
be
council
member
kelly
with
445
left
and
after
her
will
be
newsman
councilman.
E
AC
AC
F
A
So
no
one
else's
lights
are
on
the
each
one
has
not
been
amended
so
on
the
floor.
Is
the
original
motion
to
pass
ordinance
46-0-22
as
it
appears
in
your
packet
unamended?
Will
the
clerk
please
call
the
role
on
that.
B
Council
member
kelly,
aye
councilman
councilman
wynn,
councilmember
newsman
aye
consumer
burns,
aye
councilman
suffered
council
member
marvel,
aye,
councilmember,
reed,
aye,
council
member
eric
aye.
A
With
nine
voting
in
favor
some
pronounced
differently
than
others,
and
none
voting
against
item
h1
passes
and
we'll
be
back
here
in
two
weeks
where
we
can
do
this
again,
councilmember
reid.
Would
you
care
to
make
a
motion
on
item
h2,
yeah.
U
Just
for
evidence
now
unanimous
vote
on
burglars
tools,
ordinance
19022,
amending
portions
of
the
city
code.
9520
noise
is
prohibited
and
city
code
831
enumeration
of
particular
nuisances,
so
moved.
T
Well,
despite
the
fact
that
this
these
amendments
have
been
through
multiple
discussions,
there
is
the
need
to
do
further
amendments
to
deal
with
a
number
of
restaurants
and
similar
entities
that
have
outdoor
patios
and
such
where
they
play
music
and
we
haven't
so
we
need
to
make
we
need
to
provide
for
how
to
handle
their
noise
levels.
So
I
I
I'm
happy
to
just
move
right
away
to
table
this
to
the
first
meeting
in
august.
Second,.
A
A
With
nine
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
the
motion
carries,
and
this
item
will
be
on
our
agenda
and
the
first
and
again,
I
think
only
meeting
in
august
council
member
revell.
Would
you
care
to
make
a
motion
on
item
r1.
Y
Y
Additionally,
we
trying
to
find
his
name
now.
I've
also
been
in
contact
with
a
professor
out
of
san
francisco
jason
mcdaniel,
who
has
done
a
lot
of
research
on
ranked
choice.
Voting
he
has
agreed
to
attend.
Was
it
the
july
yeah?
I.
Y
Okay,
well
I'll,
let
you
I'll
let
you
announce
it,
you
set
it
up
so,
but
but
I
would
ask
that
again
we
table
this
until
july,
so
I
can
have
a
ward
meeting
and
and
then
there's
an
extra
bonus
that
comes
with
it
as
well.
That
council,
marie
will
describe
so.
A
Oh
sorry,
councils
member
burns
states
his
attention
that
will
be
executed
later
council,
so
we'll
go
to
the
law
department
first
and
then
we'll
go
to
council
member
reed,
followed
by
a
new
smile.
I.
AC
A
That's
why
I
mentioned
it
so
for
our
discussion.
I'd
said
you
know,
I
think,
holding
it
until
july.
11Th
is
fine
as
long
as
the
agreement
is
that
that's
when
the
vote
occurs,
and
so
I
thought
executing
a
whole
as
opposed
to
a
table
today.
Just
is
an
extra
protection
to
ensure
that
this
the
vote
can
occur
next
time.
U
Thank
you.
I
I
want
to
we'll
have
the
discussion
as
council
member
burns
mentioned
myself
and
a
couple
other
council
members
councilman
kelly
as
well
met
with
professor
jason
mcdaniel
from
the
university
of
san
francisco,
who
is
one
of
the
leading
researchers
and
almost
outside
of
the
advocacy
groups,
the
leading
researcher
on
ranked
choice,
voting
and
so
we're
looking
to
have
him
come
and
speak
for
10
minutes
about
his
research
and
he's
a
very
neutral
presenter
that
just
presents
the
facts.
U
I
think
folks
will
appreciate
his
research,
but
I
do
want
to
raise
a
few
things
for
both
the
community
and
for
this
committee
to
ponder
as
we
approach
the
11th
when
it
comes
to
election
reform.
U
As
my
colleague
from
the
second
ward
always
says,
what
problem
are
we
trying
to
solve
and
for
me
a
good
election
reform?
The
problem
that
you
were
trying
to
solve
is
to
increase
the
suffrage,
to
increase
the
franchise,
to
increase
voter
turnout
and
from
what
I
have
seen.
There
are
no
studies
that
demonstrate
ranked
choice.
Voting
increases
voter
turnout.
U
You
know
some
research
actually
shows
that
ranked
choice
voting
decreases
election
election
participation,
especially
amongst
low-propensity
voters,
which
are
low-income
folks,
people
of
color
young
folks-
and
you
know
some
of
this
may
peter
out
over
time,
but
certainly
the
research
shows
that
in
the
first
few
elections
there's
decreased
and
there
certainly
isn't
an
increase.
The
second
thing
that
I've
heard
folks
say
is
that
rank
choice.
Voting
will
save
the
city,
money
will
save
taxpayers
money.
U
Implementing
ranked
choice
voting
will
not
create
a
dime
of
cost
savings
for
evanstonians,
and
I
just
want
to
note
if
anyone
disagrees
with
anything
that
I
am
saying
here,
please
correct
the
record
and
show
your
evidence,
but
what
I
think
is
governments
need
to
spend
more
money
on
elections,
not
less
reform
bills
that
have
shown
to
be
successful
in
the
metric
of
expanding
the
franchise.
Increasing
voter
turnout
are
things
like
automatic
voter
registration
costs.
More
money
doesn't
save
money,
mail-in
voting
drop
boxes
early
voting.
U
You
know
the
other
thing
is
a
candidate
campaigns
will
realize,
reduce
spending
election
spending.
Well,
there
are
some
of
us
who
participated
in
primaries.
U
There
are
some
of
us
who
did
not
participate
in
primaries
and
if
you
look
across
the
board
really
the
metric
was
was
the
race
contested
or
not
whether
you
participated
in
the
primary,
not
on
average
can
the
aldermanic
campaign
spent
roughly
the
winning
campaigns
spent
roughly
the
same
amount,
elimination,
and
I
believe
that
elimination
of
a
primary
will
mean
less
resident
education
and
engagement
in
local
election
elections.
It
was
mentioned
earlier
that
you
know
ranked
choice.
U
Voting
will
help
ensure
that
no
candidate
is
elected
with
a
plurality
and
only
a
majority.
No
one
sitting
on
this
diocese
has
been
elected
with
anything
less
than
50
percent,
plus
of
the
vote.
Our
elections
in
evanston
since
reform
back
in
the
1990s
has
created
a
primary
system
which
ensures
almost
definitely
that
the
winning
candidate
and
it
has
insured
over
the
last
three
decades
that
whoever
sits
on
this
dice
gets
over
50
percent
of
the
vote.
So,
if
that's
the
problem
that
rank
choice,
voting
is
trying
to
solve.
U
It's
also
not
solving
that,
so
I
really
ask
what
problem
are
we
trying
to
solve
if
we
are
trying
to
moderate
our
elections
or
make
our
council
more
centrist?
The
way
that
you
do,
that
is
by
getting
out
and
knocking
on
doors
and
sharing
your
vision.
Our
current
system
is
the
most
is
one
of,
in
my
opinion,
the
most
democratic
system,
because
it
ensures
that
candidate
that
that
voters
have
more
time
to
speak
with
candidates.
U
They
get
to
narrow
the
field
down
to
two
there's
research
and
that
professor
mcdaniel
will
speak
about,
maybe
briefly,
but
there's
research.
That
shows
that
with
ranked
choice
and
with
all
of
that,
that
may
indicate
that
with
rank
choice
and
with
all
of
these,
the
choices
that
could
be
on
a
rank,
choice,
ballot
that
there's
actually
voter
overload
and
that
it
becomes
harder
for
folks
to
fully
wrap
their
their
head
around
that,
and
so
those
are
my
issues.
How
much
time
do
I
have
left
30.
U
Seconds
I
would
really
encourage
folks
to
look
into
the
history
of
instant
runoff
voting
and
when
it
was
first
introduced
in
illinois
to
try
to
defeat
harold
washington,
the
first
black
mayor
of
chicago
in
the
1980s,
and
it
was
officially
adopted
by
chicago
in
the
1990s.
U
A
E
I
am
in
support
of
this
when
we
eventually
do
get
to
vote
for
it.
I
did
have
a
question
about
the
timing
which
council
cummins
has
asked
so
as
long
as
we
are
able
to
vote
on
this,
you
know
in
time
for
it
to
get
on
the
november
ballot.
Y
I
was
just
going
to
say
for
the
11th,
if
staff
can
also
work
on
the
budget
for
education
and
you'll,
hear
this
from
the
professor
who
comes
out
and
and
speaks
about
this,
but
in
every
place
that
he
he's
conducted
his
research.
The
budget
that
they've
put
towards
education
has
not
helped
to
has
has
not
helped
to
offset
the
decrease.
Y
Decrease
in
voter
turnout,
and
so
my
strong
recommendation
and
and
really
requirement
to
support
this-
is
that
whatever
that
you
know
whatever,
that
number
is
adjusted
for
our
population,
etc
that
we
we
double
it
if
we're
really
serious,
and
so
I
would
like
staff
to
come
back
and
let
us
know
how
we
can
fund
supporting
voter
outreach
and
education
around
us.
B
A
AC
A
Turn
the
hold
seeing
none
the
hold
prevails
and
this
item
will
be
on
the
july
11th
agenda.
This
concludes
our
agenda
for
the
evening.
So
we
go
to
call
of
the
awards,
beginning
with
council
member
kelly.
D
V
V
Over
the
past
several
months,
there
have
been
some
life-changing
experiences
that
myself
and
my
family
has
has
gone
through,
and
it
has
been
a
deep
period
of
reflection,
and
so
I've
had
many
conversations
with
deep
conversations
with
some
of
my
peers.
I've
worked
very
closely
with
in
some
members
of
of
the
community,
and
at
this
point
I'm
I'm
sharing
that
july.

You

written
comments

for
the
period
of
time
that
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
work
with
the
citizens
here
and
behind
this
desk.
It's
been
transformative,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
very
much
for
all
that
you've
contributed,
particularly
the
the
prayers
and
support
within
the
last
30
days
have
been
very
meaningful.
So
thank
you.
A
Well,
thank
you
on
many
levels,

have
more
to
say
in
a
minute,

everyone

a
chance.

I
would
like
to
thank
you
for
your
years
of
service
of
the
community.
Your
announcement
a
minute
ago,
a
minute
ago,
has
taken
me
back.
I
I
received
that
news
with
some
disappointment
and
some
apprehension
of
what's
going
to
happen
next,
but
you
know
I
respect
your
decision
as
being
right
for
you
being
right
for
your
family.
You
will
be
appearing
in
a

again,
so
we
can.

Y
Next
5th
floor
meeting

We'll
hold
another
remote
meeting,
and
also
just
wanted
to
thank
my
colleagues
up
here
for
supporting
the

It
is
much
appreciated
in
the
community
as
well
as
I
appreciate
the

and
the
confidence.
Y
I
also
just
want

T
Well,
just
really
briefly
to
council
member
braithwaite,
my
heart
sank
because
you
made
your
statement,
I'm
really
going
to
miss
you,
but
we'll
we'll
talk
more
at
the
next
council
meeting
and
just
a
reminder
having
a
seventh
ward
meeting
this
wednesday
at
7
p.m,
and
we
are
going
to
be
having
a
presentation
on
ranked
choice.
Voting.
U
Reed,
thank
you.
We
have
an
eighth
ward
meeting
coming
up
on
this
thursday.
This
will
be
our
first
in-person
meeting.
It's
gonna
be
very
impromptu.
We're
asking
folks
to
bring
chairs
to
an
outdoor
space
where
we'll
figure
it
out
maybe
work
with
some
partners
to
get
some
seating,
but
we're
looking
at
the
new
potential
art
park
I'll,
be
saying
the
newsletter
will
go
out.
U
We'll
go
out
in
the
next
we'll
go
out
as
soon
as
my
mic
goes
out,
it'll
go
out
tomorrow
or
the
next
day,
reminding
folks
about
that.
We'll
have
another
meeting
but
council
member
braithwaite.
We
have
disagreed
on
a
lot
of
issues
and
we've
agreed
on
other
issues
and
we've
had
really
interesting
conversations.
U
I
appreciate
your
work
here
and
your
lessons
here
on
the
diocese,
even
if
it
doesn't
seem
like
I'm
always
absorbing
some
of
it.
I
have
appreciated,
but
even
more
so
and
and
even
more
so
I
appreciate
your
role
outside
of
council.
U
If
that
and
your
your
mentorship
and
you're
calling
me
up,
sometimes
randomly
to
say,
hey
brother:
when
are
you
going
to
get
back
in
school
or
when
are
you
going
to
do
whatever
this
is
to
get,
and
so
I
I
do
appreciate
that
and
and
your
service,
not
just
on
council,
but
your
service
that
extends
far
beyond
this
diocese.
That
will
continue
to
occur
with
or
without
a
title,
and
I
think
that's
really
what
defines
you
that
work,
and
I
think
that
is
is.
Is
you
asked
me
about
my
legacy?
X
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
peter
for
your
service
of
city
and
I'm
disappointed.
We
only
got
to
share
the
the
dice
here
for
a
few
months,
but
I'm
sure
we'll
keep
in
touch
talk.
A
K
A
It's
obvious,
but
it
just
needs
to
be
said
out
loud
whatever
you
want
to
say
about
this
council
experience
is
not
our
forte
and
you've
brought
experience.
You've
been
so
generous
in
sharing
what
you've
learned
during
your
time
on
this
council
with
those
of
us
who
are
new.
A
That's
meant
a
lot
and
and
it's
it's
going
to
be
really
really
really
felt
after
july,
11th,
so
all
of
more
to
say
on
july
11th.
But
you
know
beyond,
thank
you
and
our
affection
for
all
that.
You
stand
for
thanks
for
wanting
to
teach
us,
because
it's
real
helpful
with
that
council
member
newsman
is
recognized
to
make
a
motion.
