A
Thankfully,
all
right,
thank
you,
say
thank
you,
City
Clerk
and
thank
you
everybody
for
coming
out
for
the
Monday
November
12
2008
een,
Evanston,
City,
Council,
City,
Council,
meeting
I
know
we
have
a
couple
aldermen
that
are
making
their
way
back
up
here
and
we
have
everybody
here
this
evening.
First,
first
item
on
the
agenda:
do
we
have
any
veterans
in
the
house
and
if
we
do,
would
you
please
stand?
Would
you
please
stand?
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
You
know
it's
often
it's
often
forgot.
It's
often
forgotten
that
today
is
Veterans.
Day
yesterday
was
the
100th
anniversary
of
the
Armistice,
which
was
the
conclusion
of
World
War
one.
A
lot
of
people
forget
World
War
one.
There
were
32
countries
that
were
at
war.
There
were
nine
point:
seven
million
soldiers
that
died.
There
were
seven
million
civilians
that
died
in
World
War
one.
There
were
117
thousand
US
soldiers
that
died
there,
138
that
are
represented
and
reflected
on
the
wall
had
found
square.
A
So
it's
it's
worth
remembering
that
the
freedoms
that
we
have
to
come
out
here
and
to
speak
our
mind
in
to
protest
and
to
assemble
are
due
to
the
sacrifices
that
so
many
people
have
made
throughout
the
history
of
this
country.
So
thank
you
for
taking
a
moment
for
that
I'd
like
to
turn
to
the
city
manager
for
any
likeshe.
A
I
guess
I
have
one
more
thing:
well,
we're
on
it:
the
National
hunger
and
homelessness,
Awareness
Week,
which
I
know
there
are
many
people
here
in
the
crowd
that
are
working
on
that
issue,
as
well
as
the
City
Council
in
general,
is
November
11th
to
the
17th,
so
it
is
coming
up.
It
is
this
week
that
we're
in
it,
if
you
want
to
contribute
and
support
that
there's
a
lot
of
organizations
around
Evanston
that
are
working
on
that
issue,
including
connections
for
the
homeless,
which
there's
some
members
here
in
the
audience
today.
E
E
We
talked
a
lot
at
City
Council
about
why
people
come
to
Evanston
people
come
to
Evanston.
Some
people
come
here
to
go
to
school.
Some
people
come
here
because
of
a
job,
but
many
people
come
here
for
quality
of
life.
People
come
here
because
we're
just
a
nice
place
to
live,
and,
unfortunately
I
don't
think
we
take
enough
time
to
stop
and
think
about
what
makes
this
place
such
a
nice
place
to
live.
E
Bob
doorknocker
is
one
of
the
reasons
Evans
is
such
a
nice
place
to
live
the
energy
effort
that
he
has
put
forward
in
his
many
years
since
1986
as
a
member
of
our
staff
and
really
as
a
senior
manager
within
our
Parks
Recreation
Community
Services
Department,
although
it's
probably
been
called
four
or
five
different
things
over
the
years,
but
what
it
all
boils
down
to
is
bob
has
made
this
place
the
place
we
all
want
to
live.
He
has
made
this
place
active
he's
made
this
place
fun.
E
He
has
spent
countless
countless
hours
of
his
own
time,
driving
back
and
forth
from
far
away
where
exactly
Forest
Park
to
be
here,
so
that
Evan,
stone
Ian's
can
have
fun
that
Evan,
stone,
Ian's
can
say
boy.
This
is
a
great
place.
We
live
what
a
wonderful
place.
This
is
so
that's
what
Bob
doorknockers
done
in
as
many
years
here
and
Bob
is,
is
moving
on
to
new
challenges
as
we
retiring
from
the
city
of
Evanston.
After
this
distinguished
career
and
Bob,
you've
made
Evanston
more
fun.
You've
made
Evanston
a
place.
E
F
Thank
you
very
much.
It
Thank
You
Wally
for
the
very
kind
words.
It's
really
been
an
honor
to
work
for
the
city
and
a
privilege
and
I've
really
loved
the
years
of
serving
the
residents.
We've
had
many
accomplishments.
I've
met.
Many
new
friends,
I've
met
been
involved
with
many
challenges,
and
we've
made
a
lot
of
success
and
I
think
the
park
system
is
in
better
shape,
and
hopefully
the
residents
are
happy
with
our
efforts
that
we've
put
forth
I,
wish
you
the
best
again
I.
A
G
You
know
there
are
people
in
the
front
of
the
scenes
and
behind
the
scenes,
and
over
the
years
you've
been
both
places
and
I.
Don't
think,
there's
anyone
any
way
for
anybody
to
appreciate
the
level
of
commitment
that
you've
demonstrated.
You've
been
there
for
me
when
I've
needed
you,
we've
sat
through
some
challenging.
You
know,
meetings
and
situations
in
the
past
and
I
was
grateful
for
your
your
your
presence
and
your
ability
to
handle
situations
and
I'm
very
grateful
and,
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Evanston,
I,
want
to
express
that
appreciation.
H
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
Bob
I
spoke
with
you
the
other
day,
and
you
know
how
much
you're
going
to
be
missed
here.
Besides
the
challenges
that
we've
had
you've
always
been
patient
and
hardworking
and
you're.
You've
persevered
in
so
many
challenges
with
good
spirits
and
I
want
you
to
know
that
that's
not
gone
unrecognized
by
the
citizens
of
Evanston,
you're,
very
much
loved
and
I
hope.
The
very
best
for
you.
I
Thank
You
Alma,
it's
called
and
Braithwaite
thought
Thank
You.
Mr.
mayor
we've
had
our
conversations
and
just
a
heartfelt
thank
you
since
your
announcement,
I
think
I've
learned
more
about
all
the
things
that
you've
done
behind
the
scenes
than
I
did
working
with
you
side
by
side
and
I've,
heard
stories
of
you
sitting
and
painting
the
ice
on
a
stool,
getting
underneath
the
ice
machine
and
fixing
it,
and
not
to
mention
the
assistance
that
you
provided
me
with
our
larger
groups,
particularly
with
the
Evanston
Cricket
Club,
in
helping
that
event
expand
to
attract
more
people.
I
E
City
is
here
for
a
lot
of
reasons,
one
because
she
was
started
as
an
ICM,
a
local
government
management.
Fellow
and
as
you
all
know,
and
for
those
of
you
who
aren't
aware
the
city's
been
participating
in
the
fellow
program
Oh,
probably
for
the
last
eight
or
nine
years,
and
we
have
been
able
to
attract
some
of
the
best
and
brightest
talent
from
around
the
country
to
come
work
here.
E
Cindy
gets
to
curate
a
little
bit
kind
of
like
how
bob
you
know,
help
people
have
fun
cindy
help,
people
realize
dreams,
and
that's
also
a
pretty
exciting
thing.
Looking
across
the
diocese
and
seeing
many
of
you
who
she's
worked
with
you
know,
cindy
has
had
the
staff
ball
on
Howard
Street
over
the
last
few
years,
and
you
know
economic
development
redevelopment
is
so
painstaking.
E
It's
parcel
by
parcel
person
by
person
business
by
business
and
it's
helping
not
only
make
your
dreams
come
true,
as
members
of
the
council,
but
individual
business
owners
in
Cindy
you've
done
an
excellent,
excellent
job.
This
is
a
great
town,
there's
lots
of
economic
activity,
but
what
we
excel
at
is
we
have
ten
separate
business
districts.
We
don't
talk
enough
about
that,
but
there
is
ten
separate
areas
that
have
business
owners
that
are
cultivating
their
their
customers
and
Cindy.
E
E
J
J
Thank
all
of
you
for,
for
letting
me
be
a
part
of
it,
especially
as
someone
starting
my
career
in
local
government
I,
can't
think
of
a
better
community
to
have
started
such
a
career
working
for
it's
been
a
privilege
and
an
honor
to
work
with
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
and
I'll
miss
you
all
I
hope
I'll
be
missed,
but
I
am
not
going
far.
So
I'll
probably
continue
to
see
you
around.
So
maybe.
A
K
Thank
you
for
all
of
the
work
you've
done,
but
very
much
in
particular
the
main
dempster
mile
that
has
is
so
that
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know,
we
had
two
business
districts,
one
at
Main
and
Dempster,
one
at
main
in
Chicago,
and
they
talked
about
getting
together
and
talked
about
getting
together
and
Cindy
was
one
of
the
architects
that
really
connected
them
and
they
are
flying
now,
really
flying
and
every
time.
I.
K
K
L
Cindy,
you
know
that
the
Howard
Street
Business
Association
has
main
dempster
Mile
envy
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
strive
to
be
just
like
them.
But
I.
You
know
you
are
the
lights
and
the
banners
and
the
planters
on
Howard
Street
and
in
honor
of
all
your
work,
I'm
going
to
make
certain
that
717
Howard
Street
parking
lot
being
a
the
Cindy
plan.
M
You
I'm
just
a
special
thanks
on
behalf
of
the
business
community
in
the
fifth
Ward
I
haven't
been
here
long,
but
you've
done
a
lot
to
help
with
micro
grant
opportunities
and
facade
and
support
and
startups,
and
we
really
appreciate
you
doing
that
just
with
enthusiasm
and
attention.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
And
I
guess:
I'll
wrap,
I'll
wrap
it
up.
Cindy
and
I
first
met
many
many
years
ago,
and
she
was
the
staff
liaison
to
a
committee
that
mayart
install
appointed
called
the
Holly
Clark
advisory
committee.
I
thought
we
had
an
agreement
that
you
wouldn't
leave
the
city
until
we'd
solved
that
Harley
Clark
thing,
but
that
I
will
let
you
go
with
with
wonderful
blessings
from
all
of
us
as
you
move
up
the
shore,
so
Thank
You
Cindy.
Thank.
J
E
One
last
item:
mr.
mayor
members,
the
council,
I've
included
in
the
agenda
packet,
some
information
that
the
council
requested
regarding
of
some
changes
in
our
workforce
development
or
work,
so
that
is
there
in
the
packet
and
certainly
I'm
available
for
any
questions
now
or
later
in
the
meeting.
That's.
A
C
C
So
this
is
our
post-election
snapshot
for
the
November
6th
election.
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
we
have
52,000
over
52,000
registered
voters
in
the
city
of
Evanston
in
the
March
primary
that
number
sat
at
50,000,
so
we've
had
over
2,000
new
voters
added
to
the
role
since
March
so
and
a
lot
of
that
work
was
done
by
community
members.
But
what's
also
interesting
is
that
we
had
high
utilization
of
same-day
registration.
C
C
Yes,
so
is
quickly
speak
about
some
of
the
work
the
clerk's
office
and
volunteers
have
done.
We
ran
between
now
in
the
primary
we've
run,
a
2-way
texting,
a
voter
outreach
and
engagement
campaign.
Part
of
that
was
a
two-week
texting
campaign
where
we
encouraged
folks
who
traditionally
don't
show
up
to
vote
in
either,
and
the
primary
and
primary
elections
are
in
the
general
and
general
elections
to
come
out
in
early
vote.
We
gave
out
information
as
to
where
early
voting
was
text.
Messages
have
a
over
and
over
90%
read
rate.
C
So
it's
one
of
the
most
effective
ways
to
reach
people.
I'd
say
it
has
100
percent
I,
don't
know
who's
ever
gotten
a
text
message
in
at
least
not
read
it.
We
all
stood
phone-banking
social
media
outreach
and
the
numbers
there
we
had
with
peer-to-peer
texting
we
had
made
almost
we
sent
almost
30,000
texts
between
now
and
the
primary
between
the
primary.
Now
we
had
over
30,000
views
or
interactions
on
social
media
with
folks
with
the
earth,
with
our
outreach
campaign
pushing
for
early
voting,
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
C
So
we
are
seeing
a
very
sharp
increase
in
early
vote
and
in
utilization
of
early
voting,
and
so
the
clerk's
office
is
really
proud
of
that
with
something
we
really
push
for
for
folks
to
early
vote,
and
this
is
a
trend
that
we're
not
seeing
across
the
board
with
this
increase
in
early
voting.
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Thank
you
for
this.
C
This
is
the
first
general
election
that
Evanston
has
taken
first
spot
in
early
vote
site
utilization,
so
we
had
over
13,000
almost
13,500
votes
cast
here
at
Devon
sand,
Civic
Center
and
here's
a
chart
of
the
last
few
elections,
the
last
few
general
elections
in
2010.
We
had
3,000
votes
cast
in
2014.
We
had
5,000
and
again
in
this
this
general
election
we've
had
13,000
a
very
sharp
increase.
C
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Thank
you.
This
is
the
total
voter
turnout
going
back
to
1994.
We
see
this
is
us,
so
this
is
all
Evanston,
so
we
in
2018
we
had
67
percent
turnout,
which
is
the
highest
that
we've
had
on
record,
going
back
beyond
94,
but
we
have
the
data
here
for
nine
and
going
back
until
1994,
a
very
sharp
increase
in
voter
turnout.
In
fact,
in
the
last
in
2014
we
saw
I
saw
a
dip
in
voter
turnout.
We
can
continue
on.
C
This
is
a
comparison
of
Evanston
versus
some
of
the
top
voter
turnout
communities.
Over
over
time,
we
can
see.
Evanston
historically
has
had
high
voter
turnout,
but
we
have
not
been
anywhere
near
number.
One
in
early
voter
turnout
in
this
election,
Oak
Park
beat
us
out
for
number
one
by
two
percentage
points.
So
congratulations,
Oak
Park,
but
we
we
saw
a
sharp
increase
in
overall
turnout,
as
we
saw
in
the
last
slide
and
and
I
will
say.
As
early
voting,
we
initially
predicted
about
10
percent.
C
Higher
turnout
but
because
of
the
sharp
increase
in
early
vote
utilization
and
those
numbers
did
not
pan
out.
This
is
a
turnout.
By
Ward.
We
see
that
the
sixth
Ward
had
the
highest
turnout
in
the
city
with
74
percent
or
almost
75
percent
of
eligible
voters
coming
out
to
vote.
Our
registered
voters,
I
should
say
the
5th
Ward.
We
worked
hard
to
increase
the
voter
channel.
We
got
the
5th
Ward,
the
5th
Ward
got
256
percent
turnout.
C
We
were
hoping
for
60
and
we
will
continue
to
work
on
that
goal
of
getting
every
ward
in
the
city
over
60%.
Turnout
in
off
your
elections,
I
can
see.
And
lastly,
with
that
last
slide,
we
see
that
the
that
the
1st
and
2nd
Ward
had
the
highest
increase
in
voter
turnout
based
on
the
last
election.
We
can
go
to
next
slide.
C
This
is
a
breakdown
of
the
races
here
in
Evanston,
the
Democratic
candidates
for
governor
and
lieutenant
governor
receive
62%
of
the
vote,
as
is
partially
expected
here
in
Evanston
we're
very
heavily
Democratic
City
in
the
17th
district
race,
Jennifer
Gahan
Gershowitz
was
the
I'm
sorry.
The
next
slide
was
the
winner.
There
and
in
the
primary
Evanston
voted
for,
went
for
against
for
Kansas
chow.
That's
who
haven't
stood
supported
and
in
the
primary
I
mean
the
general
election.
C
So
it
seemed
to
be
something
that
could
have
been
driving
turnout
for
some
folks.
A
breakdown
by
Ward
is
next
here.
We
see
that
the
sixth
and
seventh
Ward
had
the
lowest
support
for
lowest
relatively
support
for
the
Harley
Clarke
arete
referendum
and
the
highest
support
for
it
was
in
the
fifth
Ward
which
83%
of
voters
supported
the
Harley
Clarke
referendum,
the
real
estate
tax
referendum,
as
we
see
passed
with
52%
of
the
vote,
and
so
we
will
now
realize
the
revenue
from
that
and
the
progressive
tax
structures
that
were
set
in
place
there.
C
They
go
to
the
next
slide
in
looking
ahead.
We
will
continue
to
expand
and
refined
our
voter
outreach
program.
We
will
continue
to
create
a
partnership
with
HHS
and
the
social
services
department
and
community
groups
to
increase
our
volunteer
based.
In
fact,
in
this
election,
the
general
election
we
had
a
great
number
of
high
school
students,
volunteering.
We
had
a
number
of
students
who
aren't
even
eligible
to
vote
in
16
17
year-olds,
who
aren't
eligible
to
vote
in
the
selection,
making
phone
calls
and
sending
out
messages
to
folks.
C
Do
you
get
them
out
to
vote
so
that
is
I,
think
great
for
those
students
and
also
will
continue.
The
clerk's
office
will
continue
pushing
for
democracy
reforms
that
increase
participation.
We've
talked
in
the
past
about
campaign
finance
reform
and
have
had
conversation
with
common
cause
around
that
and
it
last
year
we
talked
about
participatory
budgeting
and
continue
those
conversations
over
the
years
to
come,
and
then
a
more
thorough
report
will
be
available
for
the
councilmembers
and
for
the
public.
C
A
Thank
You
Clark
Reid
for
that
good
review
in
the
positive
work,
all
right
we're
going
to
move
ahead
now
to
public
comment.
This
evening
we've
got
40
who
could
be
a
little
more
than
40
people
signed
up
for
public
comment.
So
for
our
rules
we
set
aside
45
minutes
for
public
comment.
We
take
the
number
of
people
who
divided
by
the
time
that
we
have
so
today.
A
What
I'm
going
to
ask
is
that
everyone
keep
your
try
to
keep
your
comments
to
one
minute,
so
we're
looking
for
for
folks
to
be
concise
and
if
somebody
else
has
said
what
you've
said,
your
feel
free
to
say:
hey,
I,
agree
with
what
Lonnie
said
or
whoever,
whoever
it
may
have
been.
That
was
in
front
of
you
and
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
respectful
of
everybody
that
wants
to
speak
as
well
as
the
folks
up
here.
So
we
can
make
sure,
there's
time
for
the
council
to
discuss
and
deliberate
on
the
issues.
A
The
city
clerk
will
keep
track
of
the
time
and
we've
got
a
little
timer
up
here.
So
if
you
hit
a
minute
and
you
haven't
finished
up,
you're
gonna
hear
a
beep
and
if
you
could
wrap
it
up
real
quickly
after
that
I'd
appreciate
it
all
right.
I'll
call
the
the
first
call
the
three,
so
you
guys
can
line
up
and
get
in
order.
I
apologize
as
always,
if
I
mispronounce
anyone's
name
the
first
speaker
is
gonna,
be
Lonnie,
Wilson
and
Lonnie
is
already
up
there.
D
D
D
I'll
use
the
youth
and
young
adult
program
as
a
way
it
was
on
the
cut
list.
Then,
all
of
a
sudden
it
became
a
reorganization.
You
know,
let's
just
look
at
it.
If
the
youth
of
young
adult
program
is
to
85
Bears,
you
can't
make
Walter
Payton
the
quarterback
and
expect
you
to
run
the
same
way.
It
just
won't
work
so
that
reorganization
hurts
so
and
then
then
also
I.
You
kind
of
got
on
people
on
social
media
who
attacked
Wally
and
Wally
I'm.
D
One
of
those
people
I
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
you
because
you're
the
face,
but
I
realized
something.
You
got
nine
bosses
up
there
and
sometimes
I,
let
them
off
because
one
of
them's,
my
daughter,
one
of
them's,
my
family
and
two
of
my
close
friends,
so
I
don't
jump
on
them
as
much
so
I'm.
Making
a
public
apology
to
you,
Wally
for
jumping
on
you
on
social
media,
because
sometimes
I
jump
out
of
my
bed
and
put
on
golf
shoes
and
jump
on
you.
D
D
This
person
has
not
told
the
truth,
since
John
Evans
walked
here
with
Native
American
blood
on
his
moccasins
to
create
this
place.
It's
never
told
the
truth
has
always
been
a
nice
commercial
of
equality
and
diversity
miss
it's
a
place
where
people
can
come
and
pretend
like
they're
doing
right.
That's
what
happens
here
and
whenever
you
upset
that
nice
little
balance
people
get
upset
well,
I'm,
sorry,
I'm,
the
balance
kicker,
it's
not
some
warm
wonderful
place
on
the
lake.
It's
what
I
call
this
place
is
the
live
by
the
lake.
D
You
guys
do
have
a
great
PR
program
about
how
you
help
people
and
do
for
people,
but
as
soon
as
the
budget
comes
up
now
you
have
a
poor
people's
Lobby,
let's
figure
out
which
poor
people
should
fight
over
what
dollar.
If
we
look
at
the
investment
dollar,
when
you
invest
a
dollar
into
to
an
ally
and
you
invest
a
dollar
into
the
youth
and
young
adult
program,
it's
a
total
different
investment
and
we
being
count
our
way
through
that
so
I'm.
Sorry!
Well,
if
I
called
you
a
bean-counter,
but
thank.
A
O
P
You
good
evening,
everyone
I
just
want
to
piggyback
on
so
many
things
that
that
he
did
make
a
statement
about,
but,
however,
I
want
to
focus
on
the
program
pertaining
to
the
youth,
prioritized
the
holistic
service
of
the
youth
and
young
adult
division
by
ending
the
plan
to
reorganize
the
program.
P
Do
not
reorganize
the
program
but
enhance
the
program.
Do
not
reorganize
the
program
but
keep
the
successful
best
practice
model
and
the
leadership
trained
to
implement
it.
Do
not
reorganize
the
program
adult
workforce
developed
is
in
the
current

and
should
be
enhanced

The
program
for
successful
serving
thousands
of
Everstone
Ian's
by
expanding
it
do
not
dismantle
it.
Do
not
divide
the
program
by
breaking
it
up
into
Community,
Development,
Community,
Services
and
Recreation
keep
the
program
and
it
budget
intact.
P
Maintain

to
fix
it
and
has
the
best

by
expanding
it,

Thank
you.
Q
Q
It's
been
nothing
but
successful
under
the
leadership
of
Kevin
Brown,
now,
pastor
cherry,
you
know,
they're
suspect
to
you,
Kevin
put
this
team
together
and
they
took
off
and
they
excelled
and
they
made
a
difference
in
the
community.
I
live
in.
That
is
one
of
the
few
successful
things
that
I
have
seen
come
about
and
I'm
54
years
old,
directed
at
the
minority
in
Everson
Lonni
talked
about
that
hogwash.
All
of
that
other
stuff,
yeah
feed
me
a
dream:
I'm
not
eating.
Q
Q
Pastor
Jerry:
has
the
fleet
will
Community
Center?
Let
them
have
it
you're
talking
about
from
what
I've
read
putting
Kevin
over
the
community
work
force
development
program
if
that
program,
if
you
want
that
program
to
be
successful,
why
can't
that
program
be
merged
with
the
existent
program
that
kevin
has
shown?
He
can
successfully
run
so
when
I
say,
if
it's
not
broke,
why
are
we
trying
to
fix
something
it
ain't
broke?
R
We
continue
to
stand
in
solidarity
with
other
organizations
and
houses
of
worship
to
ensure
that
the
proposed
budget
is
a
moral
document
that
seeks
to
support
the
humanity
and
dignity
of
all
Evanston
residents.
We
are
grateful
for
changes
that
have
occurred
in
Health
and
Human
Services,
as
it
relates
to
programs
that
especially
benefit
minorities
and
African
Americans.
We
are
grateful
for
the
changes
made
in
the
police
and
fire
departments
that
also
benefit
the
same
population.
We
are
also
grateful
for
the
continued
operation
of
gibbs
morrison.
R
We
continue
to
show
our
concern
regarding
the
youth
and
young
adult
division.
We
are
very
optimistic
that
an
opportunity
to
have
kevin
brown
remain
in
his
position
and
to
keep
this
critical
program
intact
is
attainable.
Whatever
we
can
do
to
help
assist
this
effort,
we
are
willing
to
do
it.
We
speak
out
once
again
saying
the
excellence
of
the
division
and
everyone
in
it
has
placed
hundreds
of
our
children
and
adults
on
the
right
track
and
has
also
helped
hundreds
of
families
over
the
years.
R
Kevin
Brown
sterling
reputation
as
a
leader
champion
for
youth
and
young
adults.
We
believe
it's
best
served
where
he
is,
if
anything,
please
consider
growing
his
department
to
include
workforce
development
rather
than
taking
him
out
of
youth
and
young
adult
services.
This
is
a
new
day
in
our
community
to
empower
the
people
to
actively
voice
their
thoughts
and
ideas
regarding
budget
formation,
for
the
city
is
already
a
victory
and
we
won't
turn
back
Michael

S
Good
evening
mr.
bond
has
been
working
with
mr.
Neil
gambrel
and
the
mayor's
employment
Advisory
Council
since
August
of
2017.
The
successful
work
should
continue
as
it
hasn't
been
dis
vision.
You
should
be
it
enhance,
maintain,
not
reorganize
June
21st,
2011
I
was
17
years
old
and
I.
Remember:
locking
hands
with
individuals
of
my
grade
talking
about
violence
in
our
community,
because
we
were
sick
and
tired
of
being
sick
and
tired
of
our
youth
being
victims
and
statistics
at
a
young
age
and,
in
my
opinion,
due
to
lack
of
proper
programming
and
leadership.
S
Today,
we
will
be
speaking
out
against
these
proposed
changes
to
a
program
whose
primarily
objective,
in
my
opinion,
is
to
prevent
our
youth
to
have
to
speak
out
against
violence
and
disturbances
due
to
result
of
programming
not
being
worth
should
in
the
eyes
of
the
people,
and
just
as
we
saw
in
this
year,
no
more
than
my
one
City
Council
meaning
ago.
Our
youth
have
spoken
out
on
how
these
programs
have
benefit
them.
I
simply
cannot.
Imagine.
S
A
T
Good
evening,
City
Council
mayor
city
manager,
city
clerk,
I'm,
Ally
Harned
from
the
second
Ward
I'm
here
in
front
of
you
again
this
time
with
the
election
in
the
rearview
mirror
and
wow
what
an
amazing
result
garnering
more
than
80
percent
of
the
vote
for
preservation.
We
believe
the
overwhelming
results
might
even
be
a
mandate
we
had
safe
heard.
Lee
Clark
are
tremendously
grateful
to
the
people
of
Evanston
for
their
extraordinary
support
of
the
referendum
question
asking
if
they
believe
the
city
of
Evanston
should
preserve
and
protect
the
dump
from
demolition.
T
The
only
house
on
the
lake
will
invite
all
of
us,
the
Harley
Clark
house
and
gents
gents
and
Gardens.
We
hope
that
you
will
all
take
seriously
the
result
results
of
the
referendum
because
they
clearly
show
that
Volcom
and
majority
supports
finding
a
solution
that
does
not
result
in
demolition.
We
are
excited
about
the
results
in
all
Ward's
because
it
reveals
undeniable
support
across
the
city
in
every
Ward
and
in
every
precinct.
I've
heard
that
some
of
you
are
competitive.
T
A
T
T
What
you
may
not
know
is
that
safe
early
clerk
has
a
subcommittee
called
the
safe
Hurley
Clark
adaptive,
reuse
task
force
they've
been
meeting
for
months
and
have
lots
of
exciting
information
to
share
about
the
possibilities
for
Harley
Clark
to
become
a
valuable
public
asset
representing
economic
growth,
job
creation,
cultural
tourism
and
lakefront
equity.
For
all,
we
believe
that
the
best
path
forward
at
this
point
would
be
to
end
all
discussion
of
demolition
.,
as
we
have
many
more
pressing
things
to
work
on
in
our
city.
T
As
everyone
is
speaking
about
tonight,
we
urged
the
City
Council
to
make
an
immediate
resolution
to
mothball
the
Harley
Clarke
buildings
and
grounds
for
a
set
period
of
time.
During
that
time,
the
newly
formed
Friends
of
Harley
Clark
group
can
build
on
the
excellent
work
of
the
safe
Harley,
Clark
adaptive,
reuse,
task,
force,
fundraise
and
explore
possibilities
for
Evanston's.
T
Only
public
house
on
the
lake
friends
of
Harley
Clark
will
mindfully
and
proactively
include
the
voices
of
stakeholders
across
the
city,
so
that
this
time
around
all
Evan
Stone
Ian's
have
a
seat
at
the
table
in
deciding
the
future
of
Harley
Clark.
We
remain
hopeful
that
the
about
the
possibility
that
Harley
Clark
bless
you
Harley
Clark
can
be
an
issue
that
brings
us
together
rather
than
divides
us
and
in
fact
I
think
it
already
has.
T
T
U
Actually
only
had
one
thing
to
say:
I'm
gonna
get
the
rest
of
my
time
to
Jen,
and
then
the
referendum
really
I
think
was
a
statement
that
people
want
a
probably
can
make
us
it.
Everyone
in
this
Ward
can
use,
and
it's
not
just
to
save
the
building.
The
building
is
beautiful,
but
the
use
of
it
for
all
people
in
Evanston
was
the
critical
aspect
you,
okay,
Thank.
V
Haggerty
city
manager,
in
City,
Council,
Jennifer
shader,
think
you
know
me
47
year,
resident
of
the
seventh
Ward
and
grateful
and
proud
to
stand
before
you
tonight
among
my
fellow
Evan
stone
Ian's,
who
came
forth
with
the
largest
turnout
in
Evanston,
voter
history,
kudos
to
our
city,
clerk's
office
and
others
who
worked
so
very
hard
to
get
out.
The
vote
as
I
spoke
to
hundreds,
if
not
thousands,
of
voters
leading
up
to
and
on
Election
Day
I
repeated.
What
my
late
grandfather,
judge,
shader
told
me
for
so
many
years.
Voting
is
not
just
our
right.
V
It's
an
extraordinary
privilege.
So
thank
you
all
tonight,
while
we
focus
on
so
many
more
important
budget
items,
I'll
remind
you
that
we
asked
to
partner
with
the
city
to
create
a
self-sustained
revenue-producing
public
facility
that
we
can
all
be
proud
of.
Our
goal
is
to
bring
the
community
together
while
helping
to
create
an
economic
generator
that
serves
all
of
Evanston.
We
ask
that
you
allow
us
to
help
lift
the
Harley
fog.
Some
of
you
may
be
under
well
I've
loved
working
with
Ally
on
the
referendum
campaign.
V
My
personal
goal
is
to
put
save
Harley
Clark
into
retirement.
Hopefully
our
work
to
prevent
demolition
is
complete
and
our
work
can
now
continue
as
Friends
of
Harley
Clark.
Our
goal
is
to
partner
with
the
city,
citizens,
community
and
business
leaders
across
all
ages,
abilities,
genders
races
and
socio-economic
lines
to
follow
the
directive
that
the
referendum
South
the
force,
I'll
paraphrase
mayor
Haggerty
by
saying
more
than
27,000
residents
have
basically
said:
try
harder
to
save
the
mansion
and
to
quote
alderman
wilson
on
a
different
subject
earlier
during
p.m.
V
d,
it's
Evanston
there
should
be
a
way
to
do
it.
This
should
be
our
mandate.
My
hope
now
is
that
we
can
set
aside
the
demolition
conversation
for
good
mothball
transition
to
friends
of
harley
clark
and
come
back
shortly
to
discuss
the
Friends
of
Harley
Clark
partnership
with
the
city.
I
do
want
to
stress
that
in
the
meantime
save
her
Lee
Clark
is
continuing
its
work
and,
much
to
my
family's
dismay,
we
haven't
even
taken
a
break.

I'm,

where
the

we
represent

and
you'll,
be
hearing
specifics
for
each
portion
of
our
handout,
which
I'll
give
to
the
clerk
as
soon
as
I'm
finished,
as
some
other
folks
come
up.
We're
certainly
encouraged,
as
the
Reverend
neighbor
said,
about
some
of
the
changes
that
have
been
made
up
to
now.
W
Gibbs
Morris
and
staying
open
fire
station
number
four
couraged
about
the
emphasis
on
public
safety
and
health.
We're
happy
about
the
proposal
for
keeping
more
funds
for
Mental
Health
Board,
but
we're
very
concerned
that
it
looks
like
still
a
20
percent
cut
to
mental
health,
especially
for
low-income
families.
People
experiencing
homelessness
to
us,
that's
not
a
priority.
You
know
we
think
that
needs
to
be
more
of
a
priority
for
those
folks
and
overall,
this
current
budget
process
is
very
concerning
to
us
it's
not
transparent
to
the
community.
W
Regarding
the
way
this
whole
budget
is
created,
it
shifts
more
tax
burden
onto
citizens
without
a
full
explanation
of
how
Evanston
spends
its
money,
it
doesn't
seek
to
expand
ways
for
poorer
residents
to
live
in
adequate
housing
to
receive
important
services.
In
other
words,
it
seems
to
me,
like
these
changes
that
we
would
like
to
claim,
as
wins
are
really
just
getting
us
back
to
baseline.
It's
what
we
were
already
promising
and
it
doesn't
feel
like
a
win
when
we're
just
giving
people
we
were
already
providing.
W
X
Good
evening
Alice
berry
1630,
Main
Street.
Here
we
are
still
talking
about
the
city,
manager's,
still
terrible
idea
to
separate
the
effective
manager
of
the
youth
and
young
adult
division
from
his
budget
and
staff.
I
read
the
workforce
development
plan,
which
answered
none
of
the
questions
I
consider
most
important.
Why
do
this?
When
we
all
know
the
division
is
doing
a
ghost,
roar,
Denari
work
and
is
a
tremendous
success?
Why
would
anyone
want
to
mess
with
a
winning
formula
unless
they
have
another
agenda
entirely?
X
Why
does
the
city
manager,
who
is
white,
want
to
pull
the
rug
out
from
under
an
effective
manager?
Who
is
black
the
division?
The
division
saves
lives.
It
saves
futures
of
those
who
have
been
most
marginalized
in
Evanston,
City,
Council
I
believe
it
is
your
clear
duty
to
preserve
the
division
as
is
and
allow
it
to
continue
its
very
important
work.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
Y
Y
Of
course,
my
question
is
to
the
city
manager
why
we
organize
the
youth
and
young
adult
program
division
and
what
is
your
rationale
for
doing
so?
In
a
recent
survey,
residents
were
asked
to
select
the
ten
programs
that
you
believe
to
be
the
most
important
for
the
city
to
provide
that
you
think
the
youth
and
young
adult
services
department
ranks
second
highest
out
of
a
list
of
more
than
50
city
programs.
In
addition,
its
manager
has
received
high
job
performance
evaluation
each
of
his
seven
years.
Y
Now
we're
told
that
its
manager,
Kevin
Brown,
will
receive
a
promotion
to
another
position
in
workforce
development,
but
we
look
closer
you'll
find
that
this
promotion,
mr.
Brown,
will
move
from
a
position
where
he
has
six
direct
reports
and
manages
the
one
point:
six
million
dollar
budget
to
Workforce
Development,
where
we
have
zero
direct
reports
and
on
zero
dollar
budget.
What
kind
of
promotion
is
that?
What
is
really
going
on
here?
Y
I,
don't
know,
but
I
do
know
that
the
victims
in
this
is
the
in
this
apparent
power
play
or
at-risk
youth
and
young
adults
in
Evanston,
a
city
that
boasts
about
its
diversity
and
equity,
to
the
City
Council.
Why
we
organize
a
program
and
break
up
a
team
that
has
been
delivering
outstanding
results
year
after
year?
Why
destroy
a
safety
net
for
Evanston's,
poorest
and
most
vulnerable
residents?
So
I
asked
again
mr.
city
manager,
why
we
organize
the
youth
and
adult
programs
of
vision?
And
what
is
your
rationale
for
doing
so?
Thank.
Z
Evening,
my
name
is
Gail
Schechter
I'm
here
for
the
Addie
Wyatt
Center
for
non-violence,
training
and
the
prioritize
our
people
coalition,
I'd
like
to
suggest
that
what
we
have
here
is
a
difference
in
perspective.
Are
we
talking
about
workforce
development
or
are
we
talking
about
nurturing
our
youth
and
young
adults?
The
city
manager
argues
in
your
memo,
provided
to
the
council,
quote
more
needs
to
be
done
to
build
a
workforce
development
plan
that
addresses
those
services
that
might
not
come
through
a
division
focus
just
on
just
young
people.
Z
But
if
your
lens
is
the
whole
unsegmented
person,
you
can
turn
that
sentence
around
to
more
needs
to
be
done
to
build
a
youth
development
plan
that
addresses
those
needs
that
might
not
come
through
a
division
focused
on
just
the
workforce.
The
city
is
taking
the
correct
approach
right
now
in
its
youth
and
young
adult
division.
There's
a
reason
why
the
old
adage
it
takes
a
village
to
raise
a
child
resonates
I.
Z
Would
you
really
have
two
issues
before
you?
One
is
what
is
the
best
way
to
serve
at
our
most
at-risk
young
people
and
how
would
our
such
a
restructuring
impact?
This
I
would
suggest
that
there
should
be
a
higher
threshold
of
scrutiny
in
considering
a
restructure
from
something
that
already
exists
to
something
that
is
not
yet
a
proven.
The
not
a
proven
approach,
so
I
would
simply
conclude
by
saying
you
have
a
model
program
under
Kevin
Browns
leadership.
We
have
an
apples
to
oranges
comparison
when
we're
looking
at
work
for
switching
this
to
workforce
development.
A
All
right,
I'd
ask
I'd,
ask
again,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
speakers
this
evening
to
get
through
and
I
want
to
be
respectful
of
everyone's
time.
If
you
hear
the
bell
go
off,
if
you
can
wrap
it
up
in
a
couple
seconds
after
that,
if
it
happens
to
go
off-
and
you
don't
finish
before
the
one-minute
mark-
all
right-
welcome
Peggy
thank.
AA
You
as
part
of
the
prioritize
our
people
coalition
I,
want
to
expand
on
what
Daniel
rouen
said.
We
are
very
encouraged
by
some
of
the
changes
that
are
being
suggested.
However,
a
20%
cut
in
the
mental
health
budget,
especially
for
low-income
families
or
people
experiencing
homelessness,
is
not
a
priority
for
the
city.
During
the
priority
based
budget
survey
last
summer,
62%
of
more
than
3,000
respondents
did
not
want
the
city
council
to
cut
City
funds
to
the
Mental
Health
Board.
AA
It
received
the
largest
support
of
any
items
surveyed
by
the
community
to
protect
and
not
cut.
During
the
last
City
Council
budget
discussion,
the
city
manager
reported
that
the
survey
results
collected
did
not
give
them
the
information
they
had
hoped
for.
The
the
peop
college
coalition
is
very
concerned
that
these
cuts
are
being
proposed
because
they
are
viewed
as
a
number
on
the
spreadsheet,
not
given
the
value
they
serve.
Our
community.
If
city
funds
to
the
Mental,
Health,
Board
or
cut
the
city,
will
still
be
expected
to
pay
the
bill.
AA
A
AB
If
the
fireman
could,
when
they
come
and
pick
up
somebody
or
if
they're
injured
they
get
up,
we
can
raise
the
fee
for
the
ambulance
and
then
when
they
come
and
for
picking
up
a
person
who
fell
off,
who
fell
out
a
wheelchair
and
scooter,
we
could
send
them
a
bill
too,
because
a
lot
of
times
and
my
building
there
stopped
the
firemen
come
here.
I
love
it
often.
So
so
that's
what
I
was
thinking.
Wow.
B
In
reading
the
document
about
the
workforce
development,
as
proposed
by
the
city
manager,
I
wound
up
with
a
huge
question
mark
I
can't
I
can't
answer
the
big
question.
Why?
Which
many
of
my
predecessors
have
spoken
about?
I
can
only
say
that
what
I
said
the
last
time
I
was
here.
You've
got
a
rare
thing
here,
a
good
program
run
by
good,
effective
people.
All
you
have
to
do
is
leave
it
alone.
One
other
thing
you
have
to
do
is
to
answer
that
big
question
mark
for
yourselves
individually.
I.
Think
you
need
to
explore.
B
A
A
A
AC
Door,
knockers
daughter,
and
one
of
the
many
members
of
my
family
who
are
here
today
is
to
support
him
has
you've
already
mentioned.
My
dad
has
dedicated
over
30
years
to
the
study
of
Evanston
I
used
the
word
dedicated
because
my
dad
didn't
just
work
here.
He
spent
over
half
his
life
caring
deeply
about
this
community,
his
co-workers
and
his
job
responsibilities.
AC
I
have
several
anecdotes,
which
I
won't
share
with
you
today
the
detail
how
much
he
did
truly
care
and
how
much
time
and
effort
he
spent
working
it
for
the
city
of
Evanston
for
the
good
of
the
city.
It's
unfortunate
that
while
he
wasn't
able
to
share
any
of
those
with
you
today,
unfortunately,
my
dad
is
not
leaving
the
city
of
Evanston
at
the
time
or
on
the
terms
in
which
I
know
he
wanted
to.
However,
he
has
so
much
to
be
proud
of
their
relationships.
AC
He's
built
the
projects
he's
led
and
perhaps,
most
importantly,
the
integrity
Houston
he's
demonstrated
throughout
his
time
here.
In
the
last
few
weeks,
he
has
received
a
generous
outpouring
of
support
and
appreciation.
He
has
heard
from
colleagues
heads
of
departments
and
facilities,
city,
council,
members
and
community
members
thanking
him
for
the
time
he
spent
with
the
city
and
expressing
sadness
about
his
departure.
It
has
meant
so
much
to
both
my
dad
and
our
family.

AD
I'm
Andrew
Fisher
I
live
at
1580
Sherman
Avenue
I've
been
a
long
time
Evanston
resident
of
over
50
years,
I'm
here
to
speak
on
a
slightly
different
subject:
they'll
be
coming
before
you
on
December
3rd
I'm,
here
in
support
of
the
Edmondson
climate
action
plan,
with
all
the
terrible
hurricanes
that
recently
hit
down
in
the
Carolinas
and
right
now,
all
the
terrible
wildfires
raging
out
in
California
I
definitely
believe.
Climate
action
is
a
thing
that
we
definitely
should
take.
AD
AE
Evening,
I'm
laura
winston
and
I
live
in
the
seventh
Ward
and
I'm.
Also
here,
like
Andrew,
speak
on
behalf
of
sustainability.
I
moved
here
to
Evanston
four
years
ago
and
I
am
really
so
proud
to
live
in
a
city
that
was
a
founding
member
of
the
mayor's
National
Climate
Action
agenda
and
who,
among
other
recognitions,
has
achieved
a
four
star
community
rating.
AE
Such
success
is
due
to
the
city's
commitment
and
past
budgets
to
your
long-term
planning
and
investment
in
the
Office
of
Sustainability
and
I'm,
particularly
grateful
for
your
continued
support
in
the
current
budget
for
the
excellent
work
of
Kumar
Jensen,
and
continuing
that
so
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
sustainability.
I.
Ask
that
you
continue
Evanston's
tradition
and
leadership
to
fund
sustainability,
related
programs
in
the
budget
meeting
next
Monday
and
to
pass
the
climate
action
resiliency
plan
when
it
comes
before
the
City
Council
in
December.
Thank
you
thank.
A
AF
Evening,
Leslie
Williams,
seventh,
Ward
and
I'm
also
the
proud
mother
of
a
Summer
Youth,
Employment
Program
graduate
I'm
here
to
express
my
concern
about
the
proposed
reorganization
of
youth
services,
which
would
move
the
current
manager
Kevin
Brown
into
workforce
development
and
turn
other
aspects
of
the
youth
and
young
adult
programming
over
to
Ken
cherry
at
Fleetwood
Jourdain.
The
change
would
transfer
the
full-time
oversight
of
a
critical
program
with
multiple
staff
over
to
a
manager
with
other
full-time
responsibilities
and
would
divorce
use
youth
employment
from
all
other
supportive
youth
services.
Mr.
Bob
acquits
is
November.
AF
8Th
memo
refers
to
goal
three
of
youth
services,
strategic
plan
regarding
employment
and
workforce
development,
but
the
youth
Department
has
five
other
significant
goals
involving
education,
mental
and
physical
health,
civic
engagement
and
violence
prevention.
The
strength
of
this
program
is
its
continuum
of
services
across
all
these
areas.
Separating
workforce
development
would
weaken
that
vital
connection.
Well,
I
applaud
the
city
manager's
intention
to
create
an
office
of
workforce
development
and
innovation.
I
question
why
this
necessitates
downgrading
an
extremely
successful
youth
services
program
to
a
mere
appendage
of
recreation.
The
vast
amount
of
responsibility
shouldered
by
mr.
AF
Braun
and
his
team
cannot
effectively
be
shoehorned
into
the
work
of
another
department.
Well,
I
have
tremendous
respect
for
mr.
cherry.
It
is
unrealistic
to
expect
that
one
person
can
manage
a
rec
center
and
simultaneously
oversee
the
youth
services
division
and
give
it
the
necessary
level
of
involvement
and
attention
it
currently
receives.
It
also
seems
clear
that
the
manager
of
youth
services
should
have
a
strong
background
in
violence
prevention
and
be
familiar
with
the
Department
of
Juvenile
Justice
program
model.
AF
Yes,
we
need
a
strong
workforce
development
program,
but
it
will
not
be
effective
if
it
weakens
our
existing
youth
services,
the
summer
youth
program
and
other
career
services
for
youth
work,
because
they
are
part
of
a
strong
continuum
of
service
administered
by
staff,
with
training
and
expertise
and
youth
psychology
and
who
have
built
trust
with
our
young
people.
Please.
A
AG
As
we
speak
about
needs
and
priorities
this
evening,
I
have
to
say
I'm
just
incredibly
as
we
speak
about
needs
and
priorities,
I'm
just
really
baffled
as
our
people
across
town
as
to
why
we
are
putting
our
city
into
such
incredible
debt
for
a
rec
center
that
is
essentially
focused
on
hockey,
an
incredibly
expensive
sport,
I
teach
to
Evanston
High
School,
where
about
40%.
Approximately
of
our
students
are
low-income.
You
know
if
we
were
talking
about
a
swimming
pool,
so
all
our
our
kids
could
learn
to
swim
and
enjoy
our
beautiful
lakefront.
AG
Then,
okay,
maybe
but
we
are
all
across
town
scratching.
Our
heads
about
this
and
so
I
have
a
couple
of
questions.
This
is
going
to
cost
us
just
for
the
debt
service.
We're
talking
millions
of
dollars
a
year
in
debt
service
alone
becoming
a
permanent
part
of
our
budget.
So
in
20
or
30
years
we're
gonna
probably
have
to.
We
will
have
to
issue
another
bunch,
replace
the
old
one
at
rates
that
are
definitely
gonna
be
higher
than
the
old
bonds,
because
rates
are
rising
and
if
Evanston
keeps
issuing
debt,
our
credit
rate
will
drop.
AG
Our
rating
will
drop
so
in
20
years
from
now
that
debt
service
will
be
even
higher.
I'm
sorry
have
a
couple
more
questions
currently
on
the
first
tranche,
we're
already
at
about
1.5
million.
Already
it's
adding
to
our
budget.
What
is
the
city's
plan
to
actually
pay
off?
The
crown
related
debt
is
the
expectation
that
the
new
bonds
will
be
issued
upon
expiry.
AG
Has
the
city
considered
that
rates
will
likely
be
much
higher
and
that
our
credit
rating
will
be
lower,
resulting
even
more
debt
service
for
citizens
to
cover
again
primarily
for
hockey,
and
how
much
will
crowd
Crowne
really
realistically
generate
in
revenue?
Will
it
even
come
close
to
covering
its
debt
service
and
how
much
ice
ice
time
I
know
we're
getting
1
million
from
Northwestern,
but
just
how
much
ice
time
will
Northwestern
enjoy
for
that
1
million
dollars.
AG
A
AH
Evening,
mayor
city,
council,
city
manager,
city
clerk
I,
as
you
know,
run
a
Facebook
group
called
back
on
their
feet
where
I
perform
an
awful
lot
of
social
services
for
the
city
of
Evanston
free
of
charge.
I
was
a
little
disturbed
because
I
heard
someone
had
made
an
offhanded
comment
about
the
see
of
Evanston
not
being
responsible
for
social
services
that
we
should
provide
infrastructure
and
police
and
fire,
but
that
social
services
should
be
taken
care
of
by
volunteers
and
organizations
around
the
city.
AH
Let
me
tell
you
I
hate
my
job,
I
love,
the
people
that
I
work
with
I
love
them
on
both
sides
of
the
the
coin,
but
I
hate
that
there
are
people
in
Evanston
scrabbling
for
diapers
living
in
cars
who
who
have
to
go
to
court
because
their
car
was
towed
and
that
put
them
in
a
financial
situation
that
will
wind
them
up
on
the
street.
Those
people
are
citizens
I.
Last
time
about
how
24%
of
Evanston
is
in
the
bottom,
two
quintiles
of
income.
Those
people
need
your
representation.
AH
AH
I
had
to
speak
to
someone
who
is
in
Evanston
Township
a
former
Evanston
Township
student
who's
being
threatened
with
violence,
but
who
moved
out
to
Des
Plaines
because
she
couldn't
afford
to
live
here
anymore
and
des
plaines
does
not
have
a
victim
services
department.
So
we
are
trying
to
find
our
way
through
a
maze
of
social
services
that
are
designed
for
domestic
violence
and
not
for
this
purpose.
What
we
have
is
special
and
important.
Let's
hang
on
to
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
You,
Michelle,.
AI
AI
Thank
you
for
listening
to
people's
passionate
concerns.
Thank
you
for
your
sense
of
priorities
and
for
listening
to
ours.
Keeping
us
all
happy
isn't
possible.
I
probably
won't
agree
with
all
your
decisions.
You
already
know
how
I
feel
about
dismissing
the
victim
services
positions,
but
I'm
here
tonight
simply
to
say:
I
appreciate
your
care,
your
integrity
and
your
commitment
to
helping
us
all
make
us
stronger
evanston.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
AJ
AJ
Two
years
ago,
I
was
very
proud
to
work
on
the
referendum,
unfortunately
raise
taxes,
but
to
support
our
children.
Ninety
percent
of
Evanston
supported
our
children.
That
was
amazing.
To
me,
tears
came
to
my
eyes
when
we
were
sitting
in
the
bar
with
the
rest
of
the
referendum.
Folks
and
I
could
not
believe
that
it
was
90
percent
of
our
town.
Oak
Park
had
like
50
60,
so
we
did
beautto
Park
at
something
History
Day,
so
yay.
However,
I
believe
that
90%
of
Evanston
support
supports
this
youth
and
outreach
program.
AJ
One
thing
you
learned
quickly
in
the
hospital
as
a
young
physician
is
that
the
doctors
are
not
the
most
important
people
in
the
hospital.
It's
the
social
worker.
You
find
the
social
worker
you
make
them
your
friend.
Health
is
nothing
if
you
do
not
have
a
stable
home.
If
you
do
not
have
mental
health,
if
you
can
live
in
a
safe
place,
if
you
have
a
job
and
you
have
a
home,
keep
this
division
functioning,
it
is
not
broken.
You
will
ruin
the
health
of
these
children
and
90
percent
of
Evan
stone.
AJ
Ian's
support
this
program,
just
as
they
voiced
two
years
ago
in
the
referendum.
If
this
is
cut,
I
would
seriously
question
the
direction
where
the
city
is
going.
It
would
be
a
slap
in
the
face
to
Evanston's
children,
families
and
community
I
urge
you
to
support
through
attention
of
this
youth
program.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AK
Hello
today,
hello
tonight,
I
would
like
to
address,
or
what
happened
to
be
a
connection
that
I
saw
in
the
two
presentations
that
will
be
discussed
by
the
council,
and
one
has
to
do
with
the
brochure
on
investing
in
local
businesses
and
the
other
one
has
to
be.
As
about
two
Lots,
there
are
now
$1
available
if
I
could
buy,
one
I
could
make
money
off
of
it,
so
I
could
live
in
my
home
thought
immediately
and
then
the
other
one
is
with
our
to
the
meter
reader.
AK
If
you
can
get,
you
can
hire
two
meter
readers
because
you
can
generate
income,
so
hundred
thousand
dollars
generates
four
hundred
thousand,
so
every
accountant
has
their
ways
of
dealing
with
things.
If
that's
the
argument,
then
I
will
present
an
argument
you
haven't
heard,
maybe
before
with
regard
to
the
economic
incentives,
there's
four
aspects
that
I
found
immediately
when
I
looked
for
grants
that
are
available
to
people
who
would
like
to
rehab
or
avoid
having
foreclosure
there's
none
available
solution.
This
is
cutting
to
the
quick.
AK
The
solution
or
I
can
give
you
numbers
to
back
it
up.
It's
huge
in
terms
of
how
much
money
you're
using
that
would
be
more
available,
affordable
housing
if
we
hire,
if
we
make
sure
we
hire
a
new
assistant
director
of
HHS
and
make
sure
they
do
a
Goldstar
version
which
is
equivalent
to
businesses
but
four
people
and
do
a
Goldstar
version
of
keeping
people
in
their
homes
and
not
having
a
misery
and
the
increased
need
for
social
services.
AK
A
AL
Most
of
the
speakers
that
spoke
tonight
about
the
changing
the
workforce
development
program.
I
read
the
memo
dated
November
the
8th
workforce
development
plan.
All
I
can
say
it
lacked
in
this
plan
a
lot
of
things
that
those
people
that
you
are
saying
that
need
the
skill
that
you're
going
to
get
to
to
get
the
job,
no
plan
about
transportation,
no
plan
or
resource
as
to
who's
going
to
do
this
training.
How
are
you
going
to
connect
them
to
industry,
which
we
are
not
building
here?
AL
AL
But
something
happened
tonight
here
in
this
council
that
disturbed
me
when
we
were
saying
goodbye
to
Bob
during
I
want,
but
I
saw
him.
Read
that
told
him
that
we
give
at
Park
really
will
miss
him.
He
was
a
big
help
in
revitalizing
that
part,
but
when
we
came
into
the
council
and
if
you
were
sitting
at
home,
you
will
saw
a
standing,
a
web
of
people
that
was
black,
that
didn't
come
forth.
Those
people
were
with
the
Workforce
Development,
the
group
that
we
are
talking
about
here.
AL
They
came
to
honor
him
to
say
goodbye
to
him,
but
they
was
not
allowed
a
call
to
the
podium
whether
they
didn't
get
on
the
agenda
or
not.
That's
not
the
issue.
The
issue
is
a
respect
that
we
were
saying
goodbye
to
something
and
his
colleagues
came
to
say
that
back
they
should
have
been
allowed
to
do
their
presentation
so
for
us
here
in
Evanston
for
diversity.
That
was
a
black
iron.
Thank
you
thank.
A
AM
Margaret
rota
I'm
a
social
worker
who's
been
working
in
the
district
for
over
25
years
now
and
I'm
here
to
speak
on
the
behalf
of
our
youth
services
under
the
direction
of
Kevin
Brown
I
work
in
the
school
district,
obviously,
and
worked
in
every
single
school
in
this
district.
Over
my
25
years
we
have
a
lot
of
kids
who
do
not
have
what
they
need
and
what
they
need
is
the
programs
and
the
outreach
that
we're
getting
from
Kevin
Brown
and
his
crew.
AM
If
I
have
a
kid
who
is
hard
to
reach,
if
I
have
a
family
who's
impossible
to
come
in
the
first
person,
I
pick
up,
the
phone
I
call
one
of
the
guys
there
they
come
out
and
they're
instrumental
in
trying
to
do
therapy
and
trying
to
get
those
kids
there
I
would
have
lost
a
lot
of
kids
a
lot
earlier.
Had
they
not
been
there
and
I
think
reorganizing
a
system
that
works
when
I
need
to
pick
up
the
phone.
AM
I,
really
don't
have
any
of
anybody
else
to
pick
up
the
phone
and
call
and
my
principal
here
mr.
Harry's
who's,
also
at
Nichols
middle
school,
who
couldn't
stay
here,
was
also
going
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
team
of
people
that
come
that
come
at
lunchtime,
so
they
come
provide
boys
groups,
they
come
provide
mentoring,
they
do
home
visits,
they
connect
kids
with
fam,
they
connect.
Kids
all
over
the
city
and
I
would
say
to
mess
with
something.
That's
working
would
be
a
really
foolish
thing
for
for
you
guys
to
do
at
this
point.
AN
When
there
seems
to
be
so
much
division
in
our
lives,
we
need
all
things
that
can
uplift
us
and
make
us
think
and
feel
more
deeply
and
that
are
welcoming
to
all.
It
is
interesting
to
note
that
in
a
national
survey,
72%
of
Americans
agreed
that
quote
the
unit
the
arts
unify
our
communities
regardless
of
age,
race
and
ethnicity.
That
being
said,
we
hope
that
you
will
also
consider
setting
aside
some
additional
money
for
a
coordinator,
support
to
the
Arts
Council
and
to
facilitate
collaboration
between
arts
organizations,
artists
and
other
nonprofits
with
the
city.
AN
As
you
were
aware,
over
60
community
leaders,
artists
and
cultural
organizations
signed
on
to
a
letter
asking
you
to
return
a
portion
of
that
support.
Many
of
them
are
here
tonight
and
if
the
art
people
will
all
stand
up,
ll
see
who
you
are
to
demonstrate
how
important
it
is
to
the
city
to
allocate
resources
to
maintain
Evanston's
commitment
to
a
creative
outlet
for
all
of
its
citizens.
Thank
you.
Okay.
A
AO
You
mayor
Gerty
good
evening,
mayor
Haggerty,
city,
clerk,
Reed
and
city
council,
there
seems
to
be
a
huge
disconnect
between
your
proposed
budget
and
most
of
the
Evitts
ten
residents.
You
asked
us
to
participate
in
your
priority
based
budget,
and
then
you
did
not
act
on
the
wishes
of
the
residents.
You
keep
talking
about
cutting
police
and
fire
personnel,
closing
a
fire
station
and
cutting
health
care
programs.
This
is
to
balance
the
seven
and
a
half
million
dollar
deficit
for
2019.
AO
First,
we
need
to
discuss
why
we
have
a
budget
crisis
three
years
in
a
row.
Please
do
not
be
offended
by
this
message.
We
are
trying
to
convey
to
you
and
listening
to
public
comments
for
the
past
month
concerning
the
2019
budget.
Everyone
has
said
pretty
much
the
same
thing
and
no
not
from
the
same
people.
We
need
to
discuss
crown.
Why
now
and
why
50
million?
Why
the
extra
35
million
and
again,
why?
AO
Now,
in
the
middle
of
the
budget
crisis,
same
question
about
new
streetlights,
Fountain,
Square,
new
theater,
130,
Chicago
Avenue
for
two
million
dollars,
27
new
vehicles,
284
new
trees,
just
to
name
a
few
projects?
Not
on
your
priority
based
budget
and
not
reviewed
or
discussed
with
your
residents
again
don't
be
offended
as
this
is
some
of
the
info
of
some
of
the
expenses
taken
from
the
past
year's
City
Council
meetings,
just
the
above
items
alone,
total
approximately
95
million,
with
all
this
money
that
we
have
to
spend.
AO
Why
would
we
be
talking
about
cutting
essential
city
services
and
programs
after
the
city
has
figured
out
that
the
total
debt
service
for
2018
is
30
million?
Seven
hundred
three
thousand
two
hundred
sixty,
we
are
asking
if
the
city
of
Evanston
will
issue
municipal
tax
levy.
If
so,
what
will
be
the?
What
will
the
percentage
be
and
what
will
be
the
dollar
amount?
Obviously,
there
is
a
big
piece
of
this
puzzle
that
we
are
missing
here
when
we
are
spending
well
over
a
hundred
million
dollars
in
ninety
central
goods
and
services.
AO
AP
AP
So
my
name
is
Angela
Bianca
I'm
here
in
support
of
the
youth
and
young
adult
division,
I
work
at
the
University
of
Illinois
I
work
in
violence
prevention
here
in
Chicago,
Twelver
and
Evans
now,
but
in
Chicago,
literally
around
the
world
throughout
the
United
States
and
even
I've
done
work
early
on
in
the
embassy
of
the
program
under
Kevin
Brown
I
now
go
I
travel
as
far
as
Abu
Dhabi,
South,
America,
New
York
everywhere,
because
violence
affects
everybody.
At-Risk
youth
are
at-risk
youth
for
a
reason
we
have
to
treat
the
root
causes.
AP
My
point
here
and
I
want
to
wrap
it
up
because
I
know
you
have
so
many
speakers,
but
my
point
here
is
now
I
assess
I,
implement
programs
across
the
globe
and
I
have
seen
them
succeed
and
then
they're
doing
great.
And
now
everybody
wants
to
have
five
million
meetings
about
meetings
about
meetings
and
then
they
fail
I've
seen
so
many
good
great
programs
with
wonderful
leadership,
a
great
team
with
relationships
with
the
at-risk
youth.
AP
Yes,
jobs
are
very
important,
but
if
you
do
not
treat
the
root
cause
of
an
at-risk
youth
or
young
adult,
a
job
is
not
gonna
make
that
better
I
can
guarantee
you.
This
I've
been
doing
this
work
for
a
long
time
and
I
totally
hope.
I
support,
Kevin
Brown
the
team.
They
have
the
relationships
as
you've
heard
from
counselors.
AP
Even
now.
Still
to
this
day,
I
get
calls
from
random
mothers
and
they're
like
I,
live
in
Evanston
and
who
do
I
call
I,
call
Kevin
Brown
one
of
his
guys
call
me
I
reroute
later
that
day,
did
you
follow
up?
Yeah
everything's
done
I've
met
with
the
kid
we're
working
on
this.
So
if
you
break
this
team
up
and
you
dismantle
and
revise
and
whatever
it
is,
you're
gonna
do
unfortunately
you're
going
to
be
making
a
grave
mistake.
AP
AQ
Good
evening,
I'm
neil
gamble
and
then
I've
been
working
with
Kevin
Brown
and
his
youth
services
group
on
workforce
development,
as
mentioned
earlier,
and
is
preparing
these
kids
for
life
after
high
school
and
employment
workforce
development.
This
is
what
his
organization
should
have
been
named
some
time
ago,
because
that's
what
they
do.
They
prepare
you
for
life
after
high
school
and
when
you're
looking
at
you
know
renaming
this
group.
You
know
work
prior
work.
AQ
The
force
development
is
a
process,
it's
not
a
one-shot
deal
and
that
process
has
to
start
early
enough
so
that
young
people
know
what
they're
getting
into
when
they
get
into
the
employment
of
arena,
and
we
hope
that
the
organization
is
not
broken
up
because
again,
the
continuity
of
workforce
development,
where
efforts
is
not
something
you
can
just
rifle
shot
and
hope
for
the
best.
It
needs
to
be
a
continuum.

Yes,
hi

co-founder
and
president
of
the
board
of
Theo
buco,
a
cabaret
theatre
at
7:21,
Howard,
Street,
formerly
of
Rogers
Park
14
years
in
the
business,
were
very
thrilled
to
be
coming
to
Evanston
and
we're
just
about
there
we're
just
waiting
for
our
liquor
license
and
we
would
like
to
thank
you
very
much.
I
wish.
We
could
have
a
little
song
and
dance
for
you
tonight.
AS
Rain
Dostal
I'm,
the
secretary
of
the
board
for
the
Theo
bouquet
cabaret
theatre,
we'd
like
to
thank
the
City
Council
and
the
mayor
for
their
support
of
our
project,
we're
very
excited
to
be
coming
to
Howard

It
seems
a
little
frivolous
after
all
of
the
important
issues
you
have
to
address
here,
to
be
talking
to
you
about
dinner
drinks
in
a
show,
but
that's
what
we
do
and
it's
the
arts,
and
we
hope
that
you
know
when
you
have
time
for
a
little
fun,
that
you'll
come
and
see
us
all.
A
AT
AT
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
clarification
that
the
the
that
we
have
actually
requested,
55
parking
spaces
and
one
unit
at
60%,
ami
rental
level,
as
opposed
to
the
staffs
recommendation
of
70,
and
that
this
is
as
a
direct
result
of
empirical
knowledge
that
we
now
have
over
the
building,
as
opposed
to
the
fee
of
the
Emerson
building,
was,
was
blocked
to
fit
70%
of
their
need.
So
we
have
to
do
it
here.
Merson
is
not
a
bill
to
stop
occupied,
it's
not
proven
and
we
have
real
results.
A
Right
all
right
all
right!
Well
that
that
concludes
public
comment.
Thank
you.
Everybody
for
Oh
mister
get
mister
mr.
Gibbs
I
matter.
Your
name
was
on
here.
Come
on,
come
on
up,
you're
gonna
be
our
last
one
Albert
Gibbs,
my
no!
You
know
what
you're
right,
I
missed,
I
missed,
I
see
your
name
up
here:
I
missed
it
yeah.
It
was
a
mistake
on
my
part,
sir
I.
Don't
claim
to
be
perfect.
I
mispronounce
people's
names
and
I
accidentally
missed
your
name.
I
am
sorry,
sir.
AU
Won't
take
it
personally,
but
if
I
may
say
this
before
I
go
further,
a
friend
of
mine
gave
me
a
call
if
you
won't
hold
this
time
against
me,
and
he
told
me
I
need
to
clarify
that
when
I'm
speaking
like
this
and
saying
what
I'm
saying
that
he's
my
lifelong
friend,
one
of
my
best
friend
since
five
years
old,
Cecily
I'm-
not
talking
about
you
I
gotta,
make
that
clear
all
right.
So
so
your
dad
doesn't
kill
me.
You
know
I
love
the
ground.
He
walks
on.
That's
my
buddy.
AU
Getting
to
the
point,
though,
there's
a
17
of
for
introduction,
a
17,
18,
19,
20,
21
and
28,
and
it
seems
like
all
of
these
things
were
about
increases
the
increases
of
parking
in
various
other
names
for
making
money.
I
guess.
But
it's
gonna
really
hurt
low-income
poor
seniors,
fixed
income
people
they
really
can't
afford,
so
they
won't
be
able
to
afford
it
after
these
increases
are
installed.
AU
AU
But
if
the
parking
costs
and
you,
when
you
do
these
kind
of
things,
it
really
throws
up
a
red
flag.
You
citizenry,
you
know
it
deeply.
You
speak
of
diversity,
inclusion
in
one
breath,
but
it's
cost
prohibitive
for
the
seniors
young
folks
and
those
on
fixed
incomes,
because
they
can't
afford
to
park
in
downtown
Ellis.
AU
You
take
programs
that
have
such
a
profound
impact
as
a
youth
and
young
adult
programs
in
Evanston
and
the
Youth
Employment,
and
some
other
programs
I
understand
that
on
the
chopping
block
like
senior
taxi
programs,
you
know
these
folks
can't
afford
to
get
your
doctor's
you're
subsidizing
them
with
tickets,
that
they
can
get
cab
rights.
Well,
you're!
Talking
about
really
cutting
that
I'm
gonna!
Tell
you
what
that's
something
else!
AU
Let's
see
if
I
could
read
this
cuz
I'm,
not
a
fast
guy,
but
programs
such
as
this
that
has
gotten
high
marks
as
well
awards
and
recognition
for
breach
to
the
community
when
you're
threatened
with
this
to
be
dissolved.
In
order
to
balance
the
budget,
it
seems
like
something
is
terribly
wrong
with
this
elimination
process
and
those
overseeing
it
while
they
I
do
disagree
with
your
plan
to
split
up
this
team,
and
you
do
all
this
community
and
that's
nice
about.
Why
do
you
want
to
do
this?
Why
do
you
want
to
do
this?
AU
I,
don't
speak
down
about
Reverend
cherry
he's,
a
qualified
man
to
me
personally
that
I
don't
have
a
vote.
You
understand
mr.
Norman
and
some
of
the
others
there
I've,
let
them
know
personally
I
think
you're
great
I've,
seen
where
they
have
had
a
profound
effect
on
shootings
in
this
town.
You
may
not
have
recognized
it,
but
these
people
have
had
a
profound
effect
from
when
we've
recognized
shootings
that
put
ever
stay
on
the
map
in
a
bad
time.
I'll
be
right
done.
You
know
in
a
bad
light.
AU
AU
AU
Damaged
by
your
budget
cuts
balance
your
budget
on
the
backs
of
programs
supporting
blacks,
wrong
minority
citizens.
So
you
disrespect
to
that
part
of
the
Avastin
community.
The
value
of
any
humane
society
rests
in
how
the
better
off
reaches
for
embraces
for
they're
weak,
they're,
less
than
they're
poor,
by
standing
up
to
protect
and
include
the
same
in
a
loving
and
respectful
ways
that
demonstrates
that
we
are
all
for
one
and
one
for
all
not
to
have
against
to
have-nots.
Thank
you
thank.
A
A
I
would
say
we
we
do
need
to
all
of
us
work
on
hitting
the
time
that
we
set
and
I'm
not
the
best
presider
of
these,
because
not
dropping
a
ham
or
somehow,
because
I
don't
quite
know
how
to
do
that
and
cut
everybody
off
when
you're,
in
the
midst
of
something
important
that
you're
trying
to
say,
but
let's
all
try
to
work
better
to
try
to
get
this
done.
It
is
10:15
and
we're
now
going
to
start
the
special
order
of
business
and
then
the
consent
agenda.
A
So,
on
special
order
of
business,
we
have
sp1
one
item,
which
is
the
2019
the
proposed
budget.
We
have
been
talking
about
this
for
quite
some
time.
The
city
manager,
based
on
our
last
discussions,
has
brought
back
a
revised
budget
to
the
to
the
council
and
I
have
asked
this
city
manager
if
he
would
go
through
this
budget
in
a
similar
fashion,
as
we
did
earlier,
which
is
going
through
the
revenue
side
of
things
and
specifically
highlighting
the
changes
that
he's
proposing
based
on
our
prior
feedback
to
him.
A
E
We
have
805
full-time
positions
in
the
city.
Those
individuals
come
to
work
every
day
and
do
what
they
can
to
make
this
a
good
place.
They
work
in
our
administration.
They
work
in
our
law,
department,
arm,
Services
Department,
our
community
development
department,
our
Police
Department,
our
Fire
Department,
our
health
department,
our
Public
Works
Department,
and
our
Department
of
Parks
Recreation
and
Community
Services.
This
budget
funds
the
work
of
those
eight
hundred
and
five
individuals
of
this
budget,
as
proposed
as
direct
impacts
on
those
eight
hundred
and
five
individuals.
E
We
do
a
lot
of
things
for
a
lot
of
people
and
we're
very
proud
of
the
things
that
we
do.
These
have
been
very
difficult
discussions,
but
I
first
want
to
remind
you
that
there's
eight
hundred
and
five
of
us
that
are
working
so
hard
on
behalf
of
all
of
you
in
this
community
and
while
these
decisions
and
my
recommendations
are
difficult,
there
is
a
very
large
team
of
people
who
come
here
every
day
do
the
best
they
can
for
the
residents
of
Evanston
the
budget,
balancing
worksheet.
E
What
we've
done
this
evening
and
I'll
turn
the
light
off,
so
you
can
see
a
little
better
is
highlight
in
green
those
additions
to
the
budget,
balancing
worksheet
from
which
you
have
we've
been
working
off
of,
and
then
we
have
made
subtractions
were
appropriate
as
well,
so
moving
forward
with
revenue
adjustments,
the
voters
of
Evanston
have
very
wisely
decided
to
move
forward
with
a
real
estate
transfer
tax.
You
have
an
ordinance
before
you
this
evening.
Once
that
ordinance
is
adopted,
that
change
will
take
effect
in
January.
E
We
are
estimating
that
that
will
bring
700,000
dollars
in
new
revenue
into
the
general
fund.
We
I
think
I've
been
talking
of
a
number
that
was
a
LeBron
850
attest.
I
think
that
was
the
the
number
that
we
have
been
talking.
We
are
asking
to
budget
about
700,000,
we
are
unclear,
but
what
the
market
will
do
at
the
end
of
this
year,
will
that
bring
in
some
additional
transfers
that
we
might
not
otherwise
see?
So
we
think
it's
prudent
to
move
forward
with
the
700,000.
E
Next
is
a
proposed
increase
to
the
city's
property
tax
levy.
We
have
increased
the
property
tax
levy,
approximately
two
percent
over
the
last
several
years
in
Miss,
Lewis,
Lincoln
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
that
table
handy
that
you
could
bring
up
just
show
what
that
number
has
looked
like
over
the
last
few
years.
So
it's
the
the
second
table
Kate.
E
So
one
point
for
two
point:
one
two
point
four
two
point:
one:
the
difference
in
previous
years
is
we
had
said
that
the
property
tax
increase
was
going
to
be
directly
related
to
capital,
debt
and
pension
costs
this
year.
The
goal
was
to
do
this
all
without
a
property
tax
levy,
so
there
was
no
dollar
amount
included
there.
E
So
at
this
point,
in
order
to
continue
the
services
that
the
council
and
community
have
indicated,
they
would
like
to
see
continued
we're
proposing
a
two
percent
increase
in
the
levy
and
again,
that
is
a
very
comparable
number
that
we
have
seen
the
last
several
years.
So
it
was
like
a
we'd
go
back
to
the
thank
you.
E
The
council
has
requested
that
we
add
two
parking
enforcement
officers,
so
the
next
line
here
is
the
increased
ticket
revenue,
so
you'll
see
a
corresponding
increase
in
expense
in
a
few
moments,
but
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
the
general
fund
with
those
two
additional
parking
enforcement
officers.
Next
parking
fund
revenues
which
would
be
split
50-50,
so
the
dollars
you're
seeing
here
are
just
the
dollars
for
the
general
fund,
increased
surface
parking
lot,
monthly
fees,
$30
from
sixty
to
ninety
dollars
and
then
Sunday
parking
permit,
enforced
1:00
p.m.
to
9:00
p.m.
I.
E
Believe
there
were
some
portions
of
the
document
for
this.
That
said,
twelve
o'clock
that
was
incorrect.
We
are,
we
are
proposing
to
move
forward
with
one
o'clock
if
the
council
wishes
to
do
12
but
I
believe
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
the
discussion.
What
was
one
o'clock
at
your
last
meeting
next
is
going
down
the
list
we
have.
That
gives
morrison
cultural
center
that
has
crossed
off
no
longer
to
be
considered
next
in
green.
E
Is
the
transportation
network
tax
increasing
that
from
20
cents
to
45
cents,
we've
adjusted
here
the
estimated
revenue
from
three
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
to
two
hundred
and
eighty
thousand,
a
the
ordinance
that
was
introduced
this
evening
had
a
amendment
to
it
to
exempt
carpools
from
the
increase
and
I
believe
a
da
rides
entirely
missiles
taken
mr.
si,
the
the
carpools
would
be
exempt
entirely
or
just
just
the
increase
would
would
not
happen
for
the
carpals.
A
E
The
increase
next,
we
are
looking
at
bloc,
of
removing
the
block
party
permit
I,
think
the
council
will
spoke
of
nickel
and
diming
and,
in
my
my
sense
that
falls
into
that
category,
as
does
the
increase
in
dumpster
permits.
As
we've
been
able
to
balance
through
the
budget,
we
are
proposing
to
not
transfer
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
sewer
fund
to
leave
that
fund
available
for
improvements
next
and
in
green
at
the
bottom,
an
increase
in
ambulance
fees.
This
was
discussed
in
committee.
E
The
committee
asked
us
to
come
back
for
some
additional
information,
so
the
committee
is
recommending
that
the
ordinance
making
the
change
be
introduced
and
then
returned
to
the
committee
for
additional
discussion
next
week.
We
anticipate
that
being
$400,000
next,
a
transfer
from
the
special
assessment
fund.
This
was
a
one-time
transfer,
the
only
one-time
transfer
included
in
the
proposed
budget,
so
we're
proposing
to
remove
that
at
this
time.
E
Next,
on
the
expense
side,
so
total
revenue
adjustment
scape
before
we
go
too
far,
four
million
eight
hundred
and
forty
one
thousand
six
hundred
forty-one
dollars
on
the
expense
side.
We
are
looking
to
replace
what
was
proposed
to
be
cut
in
the
cultural
arts
administration
to
replace
that
fifty
thousand
dollars.
That
is
the
only
change
proposed
in
the
city.
Manager's
budget,
no
change
in
the
law
department
budget,
the
only
change
in
the
ministry
of
services,
a
budget
is
again
the
addition
of
the
two
parking
enforcement
officers,
community
development.
E
No
changes
has
proposed
Health
and
Human
Services
reduced
the
Mental
Health
Board
funding.
Currently
that
is
funded
career,
seven
hundred
thirty
six
thousand
three
hundred
seventy
three,
rather
than
a
$250,000
proposing
a
$150,000
reduction,
an
elimination
of
three
full-time
Human
Services
advocates.
The
council
asked
that
the
representative
from
the
YWCA
attend
the
meeting
tonight
and
I
believe
she
is
present
here
somewhere
there.
You
are
hi,
thank
you
for
staying
and
so
she'll
be
able
to
answer
questions
along
with
director,
Thomas
Smith
and
she's
Eddington.
At
the
conclusion
of
my
presentation,
the
vital
record
services
costs.
E
We
are
moving
forward
with
the
proposal
to
retain
vital
records
within
the
health
department.
Have
that
service
be
offered
by
existing
staff
three
days
a
week.
We
believe
that
that
will
work
the
the
incumbent
position.
Individual
in
vital
records
of
left
us
last
week,
unfortunately,
in
her
departure,
there
was
some
miscommunication
with
the
state
of
Illinois.
E
We
are
working
to
clear
that
miscommunication
up
regarding
the
moving
forward
with
providing
those
services,
and
we
should
have
that
resolved
here
over
the
next
few
days,
and
then
we
are
also
proposing
to
move
forward
with
the
addition
of
a
matron
analyst
I
heard
from
the
councilman
community.
A
concern
about
both
the
public
health
educator
in
the
assistant
director
position
being
eliminated
believe
that
a
adding
a
management
analyst
will
allow
the
department
to
continue
to
go
after
grants
and
provide
other
needed
administrative
support
for
the
health
department
in
the
police
department.
E
Eliminating
the
addition
of
a
civilian
community
engagement,
specialist,
well
I,
believe
that
this
would
really
be
groundbreaking
for
us
in
the
community
to
really
reach
out
in
a
very
specific
way,
using
the
ever
bridge
software
that
we
have
clearly
with
other
competing
issues
in
the
budget.
We'll
continue
to
work
on
that
with
a
new
chief
and
hopefully
come
back
with
other
options
over
the
course
of
the
next
year.
The
elimination
of
the
five
police
officer
positions
I'm
proposing
that
that
be
withdrawn
from
consideration.
E
But
we
continue
with
the
hold
of
four
firefighter
paramedic
positions
vacant
in
order
to
make
those
holds
work
and
to
be
a
little
bit
closer
to
budget,
proposing
an
increase
in
the
fire
departments,
overtime,
budget
of
two
hundred
and
sixty
four
thousand
six
hundred
and
eighty
dollars
which
offsets
some
of
the
savings
but
I
think
allows
us
to
have
a
more
realistic
fire
department,
overtime,
budget
and
then,
finally,
adding
to
the
fire
department
budget.
Some
money
to
assist
us
with
looking
at
costs
associated
with
providing
fire
services.
E
I
think
at
this
point,
I'm
not
prepared
to
give
the
council
a
specific
plan
as
to
what
we
would
do,
but
I
would
ask
that
some
money
be
put
aside
to
provide
some
flexibility
and
in
looking
at
that
and
I.
Think
during
the
first
quarter
of
next
year,
we'll
be
able
to
come
back
to
with
a
more
specific
plan.
E
So
this
is
money
that
we
would
not
spend
until
the
council
has
had
the
benefit
of
hearing
a
little
bit
more
about
what
the
plans
are
looking
at
cost
associated
with
providing
fire
service,
Parks
and
Recreation,
really
no
change
from
what
we
have
largely
discussed
other
than
the
Gibbs
Morrison
pieces
off
the
table.
No
change
in
Public
Works,
Agency
citywide.
E
In
order
to
cover
the
budget
gap,
I
am
proposing
that
the
2.6%,
the
dollar
amount
that
was
budgeted
for
a
general
wage
increase
for
all
employees
next
year
be
removed,
and
so
you
see
the
line
items
for
the
various
bargaining
units.
Of
course,
this
is
up
to
collective
bargaining.
We
will
work
diligently
with
our
partners
in
the
representative
union
unions
to
achieve
this,
but
I
must
be
honest
with
you
that
the
collective
bargaining-
and
this
is
not
by
action
of
the
council
solely
and
so
we
will
be
mindful
of
that
as
we
move
forward.
E
The
auto
allowance
is
a
benefit
that
is
received
by
our
senior
managers
and
and
some
of
our
supervisors
and
I
believe
that
in
these
difficult
budget
times
it's
important
to
reduce
that
dollar
amount.
However,
I
am
uncomfortable
at
this
point,
reducing
it
any
further.
It
was
a
reduction
of
50%
the
feedback
that
I
received
for
many
of
our
folks
that
are
really
on
the
line
every
day
we're
delivering
the
services
that
you
need
delivered
there.
E
Our
senior
managers
are
already
not
going
to
see
pay
increase
already
seeing
an
increase
to
their
health
care,
which
other
employee
groups
will
not
see
so,
rather
than
a
50%
reduction
in
the
auto
allowance,
I'm
proposing
just
a
25%
reduction
and
then
finally,
an
increase
in
transfer
to
the
insurance
fund.
The
fund
remains
challenged,
as
you
all
know,
and
through
these
changes,
I
think
it's
prudent
to
increase
that
transfer
by
an
additional
$500,000.
E
So
with
that
expensive
justments,
our
2.8
million
dollars.
Other
items
in
green,
no
DWI
for
union
employees
in
other
funds.
Again,
we've
been
talking
solely
about
the
general
fund
in
the
parking
fund.
Changes,
increased
surface
parking
lot
permit
fee
from
$30
from
60
to
90
increased
sunday
parking
meters
from
1
to
9,
increased
parking
meters
citywide
from
1
to
150
the
waiver
of
the
convenience
fee
for
maximum
time.
E
So,
if
you're
in
a
two
hour
zone,
you
pay
for
two
hours
rather
than
paying
the
fee,
mr
lee
of
35
cents
for
the
two
hours,
you
would
just
pay
for
the
2-hour
straight
time
of
the
meter
and
then
increased
parking
meter
revenue
due
to
maximum
time
charges.
We
think
that
that
will
change
people's
behavior
and
I'll
create
some
additional
revenue
which
will,
interestingly
enough,
then
offset
that
waiver
of
the
convenience
fees.
So
we've
looked
at
other
jurisdictions.
This
is,
this
is
not
just
wishful
thinking.
E
E
These
are
difficult
decisions
that
you
have
you'll
note
that
the
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
for
transfers
to
the
reserve
is
still
there
and
the
million
dollars
for
Crown
I
think
it's
extraordinarily
important
to
to
bake
in
the
crown
debt
service.
There
are
other
ways
it
could
be
handled,
but
this
is
a
cost
that
is
not
going
away
and
I
think
that
this
proposed
budget
allows
you
to
be
able
to
do
that,
and
the
contribution
to
the
general
fund
reserve
again
I
still
believe
the
full
amount
is
necessary.
E
We
need
to
make
sure
that
this
budget
is
as
strong
as
possible,
but
it
is
balanced
in
in
revenues
and
expenditures,
but
rainy
days
will
continue
to
come
and
the
state
of
Illinois
is
entering
a
new
phase
of
its
governance.
With
a
know
with
the
new
governor,
the
state
of
Illinois
has
to
deal
with
some
of
its
structural
problems.
They
they've
kicked
the
can
for
four
solid
years
and
they
can
no
longer
do
that.
So
I
think
it's
very
important
to
maintain
those
reserves.
E
A
You
thank
you
thank
you,
ollie
and
thank
you
to
the
city
staff.
I
think
you
guys
have
have
done
a
really
good
job.
Listening
to
the
conversation
of
the
council
and
I
think
this
version,
two
of
the
proposed
2019
budget
is,
is
well
difficult
better
than
the
last
version
we
saw
so
I
appreciate
that
wallet
before
we've
got
some
lights
going
on
before
we
do
that.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
everybody
out
here
in
the
audience
and
at
home
understands
where
we
are
in
the
overall
process.
A
E
Mr.
Merz,
the
council
of
fees
and
charges,
many
of
them
require
ordinances,
and
so
those
that
do
are
on
for
first
reading
this
evening.
The
adoption
of
the
budget
hours
by
resolution.
So
it
is
my
hope
that
the
council
will
will
react
and
provide
input
to
what
you
have
before
you.
My
hope
is
that
we're
close,
if
we're
able
to
come
to
a
conclusion
of
this
evening
on
the
larger
policy
questions
that
we
would
be
able
to
bring
a
resolution
to
you
for
adoption
at
your
November
19th
meeting.
E
The
ordinances
would
also
then
be
available
to
you.
You
do
have
a
meeting
scheduled
for
Monday,
November,
26th
and
then
one
final
meeting
scheduled
for
the
month
of
December.
You
know
in
for
December
10th
that
has
been
the
council's
practice
to
adopt
the
budget.
The
usually
the
Monday
of
Thanksgiving
week,
leaving
a
little
bit
of
flexibility.
Should
it
be
needed
for
the
following
week.
I
feel
pretty
confident
that
we're
close
that
so
that
either
adoption
would
be
there
come
on
the
19th
or
the
26th.
Okay.
A
I
E
Now,
okay,
our
preference
would
be
not
to
put
a
number
on
it
and
live
with
it
for
a
year
and
see
what
it
truly
is
regardless,
it
would
be
I
would
say
mr.
decide
while
guests
under
50,
probably
under
25,000
and
so
I-
think
that
you
know
we
can.
We
can
live
without
a
unbudgeted
number
if
we
need
to
make
an
adjustment
for
such
a
small
number
for
the
overall
budget.
I,
don't
know
that
it's
mature
hope,
okay,.
A
Can
we
do
we
want
to
take
it
the
way
we
took
it
last
time
or
do
we
want
have
a
free-for-all
up
here,
which
is
last
time
we
sort
of
took
it
structured?
Okay,
let's
talk
about
anything
on
the
revenue
side
and
then
we
went
to
the
expense
side.
My
suggestion
would
be
we
do
we
do
it
sort
of
the
same
way
otherwise
I'm
just
concerned,
everybody
says
well
I
got
an
issue
on
this.
One
and
I
got
an
issue
there.
K
A
K
Yes,
thank
you,
mister
man,
thank
you
to
the
city
staff
for
the
modifications
that
have
happened.
Thank
you
to
everyone
in
Evanston
for
the
voting
for
the
transfer,
tax
increase
and
understanding
what
it
did
so.
I
am
I
am
very,
very
concerned
about
the
mental
health
funding
issue
and
I
would
like
us
to
to
not
cut
that
for
at
all.
K
If
we
can-
and
so
I
made
some
notes
here
in
terms
of
understanding
what
ways
we
could
add
back
in
that
$100,000
and
and
I'm
going
to
make
some
suggestions
here
and
I'd
like
to
hear
what
my
fellow
council
members
have
to
think
you
know.
One
way
is
we're
adding
to
peos
and
each
PEO
generates
approximately
$200,000.
K
K
K
AV
Evening,
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
Eric
historian
city
manager,
current
rate
in
Chicago
is
65
cents
and
if
you
take
a
ride
from
Chicago
to
Evanston
or
Evanston
to
Chicago,
you
are
texts
from
both
jurisdictions.
So
attacks
will
be
over
a
dollar
with
our
new
proposed
rate,
which
is
why
we've
included
this
tier
and
tech
exempted.
The
carpool
rides
from
it
because
those
are
the
most
price,
conscious
customers
right.
AW
A
O
K
O
O
K
So
I
I
I'm
looking
for
ways
to
come
up
at
the
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
revenue,
because
I
do
think
that
the
dollars
we
spend
for
mental
health
are
are
are
very
important
dollars
that
then
save
us
money
down
the
line
from
police
and
fire
calls
from
other
issues
from
costs
of
homelessness
and
the
mental
health
dollars
are
scarce
and
there
aren't
enough
in
them
and
people.
There's
no
question
that
we
have
a
greater
and
greater
need
for
that,
and
it's
all
part
of
having
a
healthy
community
that
we
have
appropriate
mental
health.
A
E
L
E
A
L
L
L
AX
E
AX
N
AX
A
O
As
so,
the
adding
a
1/3
parking
enforcement
officer,
if
we
add
that
with
a
more
significant
increase
in
the
surface
Lots
and
then
the
parking
meters
and
then
increase
the
amount
of
free
time
available
downtown,
can
we
have
an
idea?
What
that
would
cut
I
understand
the
that
people
now
want
nickel-and-dime
people
I
understand
that
and
I
agree
with
it.
O
Upfront
and
people
know
what
they're
getting
into
rather
than
having
them
feel
that
enforcement
is
arbitrary
and
upsetting,
and
if
we
can
sweeten
that
with
increased
free
time
in
the
underutilized
downtown
garages,
there
may
be
a
balance
there
that
increases
revenue
and
leaves
residents
feeling
less
nickeled
and
dimed
than
just
increasing
the
parking
enforcement
officers.
Do
we
have
any
idea
like
what
the
balance
is
or
where
the
sweet
spot
is
on
that
I'll
speak.
E
Before
I
can
get
I
think
we're
approaching
a
sweet
spot
with
1/3,
so
I
think
if
there
is,
if
there's
something
else,
you'd
like
in
the
mix
with
that
I
think
because
you
could,
you
also
then
get
a
certain
amount
of
diminishing
returns.
I
think
we
felt
it.
Obviously
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
months
the
two
was
sort
of
a
sweet
spot
number.
You
know
alderman
Rainey,
other
members
of
the
council
had
talked
about
weekends
and
evenings.
So
we
feel
that
the
two
can
cover
that
anymore.
E
I
think
you
know
we
would
not
have
a
consistency
throughout
the
week
because
we
probably
would
need
even
more
to
provide
that
on
a
more
consistent
basis
and
then,
if
we
did
provide
that,
then
I
think
you
absolutely
have
that
diminishing
return.
So,
and
you
mentioned
all
the
suffered
and
about
increased
free
time,
were
you
thinking
the
Sundays?
Well.
AT
O
If
a
person
going
downtown
knows
that
they
can
either
pay
an
increased
fee
at
the
meter
or
have
three
hours
free
on
the
top
two
floors
of
the
garage
and
spots
that
are
underutilized
anyway,
and
they
can
make
the
decision
whether
they
want
to
pay
the
convenience
premium
or
park
for
free.
It
solves
the
issue
that
we
hear
about
where
people
say
that
downtown
is
too
expensive
to
go
to,
because
you
do
have
an
option
and
I.
O
Don't
I,
don't
know
what
are
what
the
capacity,
what
percentage
of
capacity
our
garages
are
at
anyway,
I
mean
these
are
spots
that
are
already
built
paid
for
paved
and
stripes
like.
Why
not
encourage
people
to
utilize
them
and
if
it
turns
out
that
people
are
utilizing
them
rather
than
using
the
meters,
then
we've
learned
something
valuable
and
those
people
are
still
downtown
doing
whatever
they
are
doing
downtown
and
that's
good
for
economic
development.
O
So
you
know
I
have
a
question
about
that,
and
also
you
know
the
neighborhood
parking
coordinator,
that
job
description
and
what
that
would
free
up
the
parking
division,
manager
or
other
staff
to
do
and
I
don't
know.
If
you
could
help
me
understand
if
there
would
be
a
revenue,
positive
revenue
impact
on
including
that
position
on
the
budget
again
sorry.
AV
So
what
we've
proposed
earlier
this
year,
with
the
demand
based
pricing
strategy,
was
all
geared
toward
right
sizing.
The
entire
operation.
System-Wide
part
of
the
reason
for
the
the
parking
specialist
position
that
we're
proposing
to
create
is
is
to
make
sure
that
we're
on
the
path
for
that
and
that
we
continue
to
stay
on
it
so
that
we
don't
sort
of
fall
behind
the
market
tonight
in
the
APWU
Committee,
we
talked
about
the
towing
policy
change
and
the
street
sweeping
increased
ticket.
AV
That
revenue
is
not
reflected
in
this
worksheet
because
it
came
from
parking
transportation
committee.
It
didn't
come
about
as
part
of
the
budget.
So
if,
if
that
is
approved
tonight
as
part
of
the
council's
actions,
then
that
revenue
could
be
added
to
this
sheet.
It's
roughly
$350,000,
as
we
mentioned,
with
the
law
of
diminishing
returns
with
adding
parking
enforcement
officers.
It's
not
like.
We
can
just
add
ten
of
them
and
get
four
million
dollars.
AV
We
we
will
see
people
change
their
behavior
if
we
are
able
to
a
ticket
reinforce
in
a
manner
that's
more
consistent,
so
I
would
be
hesitant
to
add
any
more
than
to
it.
This
time,
especially
given
we're
also
contemplating
the
change
in
the
crossing
guard
program.
So
if
the
crossing
guard
program
is
awarded
to
a
vendor
contract
versus
being
handled
in-house,
we
would
have
those
existing
parking
enforcement
officers
freed
up
to
do
better
enforcement
and,
like
I,
said
to
adjust
the
hours
right
now.
AV
AV
That's
not
the
most
ideal
time
for
parking
enforcement,
but
that's
when
we
have
to
schedule
the
enforcement
officers
so
once
if
the
council
direction
is
to
approve
that
which
we
plan
to
bring
next
week,
that
will
free
up
a
lot
of
time
for
the
for
the
current
park
enforcement
officers,
so
that,
coupled
with
two
additional
officers,
I
think
that's
probably
a
gating
to
right-size
and
I
think
we
would
want
to
evaluate
over
that
over
the
next
year
and
then
just
determine
if
in
the
following
year,
another
one
was
warranted
or
not.
Mr.
A
O
Mean
I
guess:
is
there
a
reason
why
we
have
to
have
every
residential
parking
permit
be
the
flat
fee,
or
can
we
charge
more
for
more
restrictive
residential
parking
permits?
Do
we
offer
should
someone
who
gets
two
hours
between
7:00
a.m.
and
9:00
a.m.
pay,
the
same
rate
as
somebody
who
gets
all
day?
Do
we
have
a
way
to
look
at
that
and
see
what
would
be
a
fair.
AV
O
AV
Absolutely
and
going
back
to
what
alderman
went
suggested
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
in
terms
of
sort
of
indexing,
some
of
these
out
into
that
out
years,
we've
looked
at
the
residential
parking
permits
and
I
think
that
a
logical
place
for
them
to
get
to
in
the
near
term
is
50
dollars
per
year.
So
we've
compared
at
thirty
dollars
this
year,
five
dollars
a
year
for
the
next
four
years
or
whatever
the
council
decides
twenty
dollars
next
year.
AV
O
C
I'm
asking
for
a
discussion
of
straw,
vote
from
the
council
or
direction
to
the
city
manager's
office
regarding
vital
records.
The
clerk's
office
has
presented
a
proposal
to
transfer
vital
records
to
the
clerk's
office
in
the
original
budget
that
was
presented
for
2019,
there
was
vital
records
was
slated
to
be
eliminated.
The
clerk's
office
made
a
proposal
and
there
has
been
a
an
alternate
proposal
presented
after
our
proposal,
which
limits
the
availability
of
birth
and
dec
were
the
death
records
to
three
days
a
week
between
10
a.m.
and
4
p.m.
C
they'll
turn
the
alternate
proposal,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
only
allows
folks
to
request
those
records
or
to
request
and
pay
for
those
records
online,
and
the
alternate
proposal
brings
in
less
revenue
if
you're
looking
for
$100,000
for
the
general
fund,
aldermen
win
or
whether
it's
for
the
Arts
Council
or
for
the
public
health
or
for
Gibbs
Morrison,
here's
$100,000
that
otherwise
wouldn't
have
been
there.
You
know
with
the
clerk's
officer
proposal,
we'd
be
able
to
have
the
service
available
to
residents
throughout
the
week
on
Mondays.
The
clerk's
office
is
open
until
7
p.m.
C
so
we
could
potentially
see
increased
revenues
for
vital
records.
The
total
revenue
for
vital
records
in
a
projected
revenue
for
2019
is
a
hundred
and
forty
six
thousand
dollars
the
with
the
current
availability.
That
would
be
the
projected
revenue,
which
is
only
attainable
by
keeping
it
in
the
by
transferring
it
to
the
clerk's
office.
The
clerk's
office
is
requesting
forty
thousand
dollars
to
help
pay
for
the
program
cost,
which
is
seventeen
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
C
There
are
we're
looking
to
provide
free
birth
certificates
for
folks
who
are
homeless
that
are
living
in
the
city.
That
is,
the
state
allows
for
free
birth
certificates.
There
we're
specifically
looking
to
provide
free
birth
certificates,
also
for
survivors
of
domestic
violence
and
young
adults
participating
in
the
mayor
of
summer
youth
program
and
those
cost
for
those
free
birth
certificates
would
come
from
the
forty
thousand
dollars
as
well.
A
Okay,
so
the
thing
thank
you
thank
you
clerk
read,
so
you
know
just
so
everybody's.
On
the
same
page,
the
initial
proposal
had
us
terminating
vital,
vital
records
as
a
service
of
the
city.
It
could
be
achieved
through
the
county
or
other
other
places.
We've
heard
a
lot
of
feedback
city
clerk
put
forward
a
proposal.
I
know,
city
manager.
The
council
last
left
that
with
you
to
take
a
look
at
that
proposal,
as
well
as
from
the
health
department,
wear
vinyl
records
is
right
now
and
we
saw
clerks
in
Rock.
A
E
And
I
waved
off
director
Thomas
Smith,
all
waiver
back
in
but
again
I
think
we
looked
at
it
I
think
we
feel
comfortable
that
we
can
provide
good
services
at
the
three
days
a
week.
I
think
the
community
has
come
to
be
very
comfortable
with
the
service
offered
in
the
health
department.
It's
an
Arkansas,
rec
and
director
thomas
smith.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
else,
you
want
to
add
welcome
back
from
vacations.
Thank.
AZ
E
Yes,
we
had,
there
was
a
discussion
about
having
the
the
services
as
an
alternate
proposal
provided
three
days
a
week
with
exec
the
existing
staff
within
the
department,
and
you
had
felt
that
before
your
departure,
that
that
was
a
reasonable
plan
to
look
forward
with.
We
now
will
have
that
I
think
through
the
end
of
this
year,
I
think
the
council
is
just
looking
to
get
some
additional
feedback.
I.
AZ
Think
at
this
point,
what
we
can
do
is
still
offer
the
services
to
accommodate
our
residents,
with
the
understanding
that
they
do
have
other
options
to
get
their
certificates
and
I.
Think.
It
would
be
wise
at
this
juncture
to
attempt
to
do
that
service
and
see
if
it
works
and
evaluated
and
if
it
is
not
conducive
for
the
residents
to
maybe
consider
expanding
the
hours.
AZ
A
AY
A
We
can
do
people
want
to
if
people
want
to
ask
questions
if
we
can
maybe
flip
all
the
laughter
I've
got
the
order
that
we're
in
so
I
promise
I
will
go
back
to
you.
Let's
see,
you
know,
go
revell
fleming
and
then
Ruth
Simmons,
so
I'm
just
going
to
turn
these
off
for
a
second
okay.
So
for
any
any
questions
of
a
bond
on
this
issue,
okay,
a
whole
bunch,
let's
start
with
Peter
L
the
room
Braithwaite.
I
I,
thank
you
Thank
You
mayor,
so
there's
been
a
number
of
different
conversations
floating
around
with
staff
and
one
of
my
primary
concerns
and
I
agree.
It
was
raised
by
alderman
Holmes.
You
know
previous
meeting
that
and
I
said
it's
like
members
of
the
council.
So
for
our
nuclear
families,
like
you
know,
sending
application
over
the
internet
and
paying
online
with
the
credit
card
is,
is
fine,
I
guess
what
I'm
more
concerned
about
is
our
non-traditional
families
in
the
situations
when
I
receive
a
phone
call,
particularly
with
you
know,
death
certificates?
I
Let's,
let's
talk
about
the
three
days
and
let's
be
clear
with
what
you're
able
to
do
in
terms
of
staffing
with
and
I,
don't
know,
I
know
that
the
person
who
was
here
was
gone.
I
have,
to
be
honest,
I
may
just
ask
you
to
back
up
a
little
bit
and
just
remind
us
like
how
long
that
person,
what
were
their
staffing
hours
and
what
are
you
proposing
is
my
simplified
question.
Sure.
AZ
The
current
staffing
hours
of
the
previous
employee
provided
the
service
with
a
closure
between
11:45
and
1:00
p.m.
for
lunch.
Okay,
so
the
hour
started
at
8:30.
The
last
certificate
of
requests
was
honored
at
4:15
4:30
at
the
latest,
because
it
takes
a
little
time
to
process.
The
current
status
is
that
we
allow
for
mail
in
applications
that
residents
could
mail
in
a
check
or
a
credit
card
authorization
form.
Along
with
the
request.
AZ
There
was
another
opportunity
to
provide
an
electronic
application
where
they
can
apply
online,
with
the
same
information
available
to
receive
the
certificate
and
also
pay,
and
they
can
also
walk
in
those
services
will
still
be
reflected
in
the
proposed
part-time
three
day.
Window
and
I
will
tell
you
that
anecdotally,
the
majority
of
our
birth
certificates
are
received
from
non
Evanston
residents
that
happen
to
deliver
in
our
jurisdiction,
and
so
many
of
those
constituents
do
apply
online
because
of
proximity
inconvenience
and
they
actually
come
into
the
window
to
actually
receive
the
physical
document.
AZ
The
majority
of
our
death
certificates
are
ascertained
by
funeral
directors.
Again,
we
have
two
prominent
Funeral
Directors
in
our
jurisdiction,
so
the
majority
of
those
requests
come
without
outside
of
our
jurisdiction
and
they
are
really
represented.
They
really
come
in
to
physically
receive
the
death
certificate,
not
the
family,
but
we
do
have
families
that
actually
come
in
to
get
their
own
records
and
we
work
with
them
as
well,
but
the
majority
of
the
requests
for
death
actually
come
from
licensed
providers.
Okay,.
I
I
AZ
Know
what
it's
difficult
to
project
the
same
revenue
when
there's
other
opportunities
for
residents
to
get
certificates
in
other
locations,
which
is
new
we've
never
in
our
jurisdiction,
had
the
capacity
to
get
your
death
and
birth
certificate
from
our
County
offices
through
our
currency
exchanges.
So
I
really
don't
have
a
true
idea
of
what
that
projection
could
look
like
with
those
additional
opportunities
but
again
proposing
this
part-time
status
is
something
we
can
look
at
over
three
months.
We
can
look
at
it
and
we've
evaluated
over
four
months.
AZ
AZ
G
AZ
G
AZ
So
in
the
previous
practice,
when
someone
walks
in
like
two
people
may
walk
in
at
the
same
time,
there
are
three
staff
currently
what
they
supervisor
that's
trained
on
the
system
that
could
support
and
assist.
We
have
had
some
seasonal
up
ticks
where
there
are
more
than
one
customer
at
a
time,
and
we
don't
like
customers
to
wait,
and
so
there
are
other
staff
that
are
trained
that
can
provide
the
service,
and
this.
AZ
AZ
C
A
M
N
C
Can
clarify
the
current?
Under
the
current
proposal?
Birth
and
death
records
will
be
available
for
pickup
three
days
a
week.
That
is,
that
is
the
proposal.
Wednesday
through
Friday
from
10
a.m.
to
4
p.m.
there
will
be
no
walk-ins
available
that
period
either.
Folks
will
only
be
able
to
request
these
records
online
and
here's
another
key
thing:
we're
looking
for
revenue.
The
current
revenue
projection
for
this
program
is
sixteen
thousand
dollars.
It's
listed
there
with
the
proposals
of
the
clerk's
offices.
Putting
forward
the
revenue
would
be
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
C
It
would
maintain
the
current
levels
of
service
and
access
to
residents,
making
this
very
convenient
for
our
residents,
but
also
making
sure
that
we
can
provide
free
birth
certificates
to
groups
that
aren't
currently
up
eligible
for
them.
So
that
means
folks
that
are
participating
in
the
mayor's
Summer
Youth
Program.
That
means
that
a
young
man
who
wants
to
get
a
job
potentially
a
job
here
as
an
intern
in
the
law
department,
won't
have
to
miss
out
on
that
opportunity
because
they
can't
afford
a
$15.00
birth
certificate.
C
That
means
that
a
mom
who
is
a
survivor
of
domestic
violence
who
lives
in
our
city
and
is
being
serviced
by
one
of
our
local
providers,
will
be
able
to
get
birth
certificates
for
free
for
her
and
her
children.
So
she
can
put
her
kids
in
school
and
she
can
find
employment
that
is
not
under
the
car
proposal,
so
it
to
me
this
is
a
no
brainer.
AZ
And
under
my
leadership,
if
anyone
has
a
hardship
regardless,
if
they
meet
the
criteria
of
being
homeless,
I
have
waived
the
fee
from
ten
months,
I've
waived
the
fee
for
people
who
have
had
fires
and
lost
everything
and
have
no
identification
and
have
no
way
to
get
up
identification
without
a
birth
certificate.
I've
waived
fees
to
expedite
someone
needing
a
passport
because
they
have
you
know
travel
for
a
death
they've
had
to
travel
internationally.
AZ
BA
Answer
I
did
good
evening:
Michelle
Mason
cup
corporation
counsel,
under
the
Illinois
Administrative
Code
title
77,
Public
Health,
section
500,
the
appointment
of
local
registrars.
Certain
individuals
can
be
appointed
as
eligible.
The
public
health
director
is
obviously
one
of
those
she's
been
in
that
position
for
quite
some
time
under
Section
four
and
the
city
clerk
can
also
be
one
of
the
persons
registered,
but
I
haven't
been
able
to
figure
out
is
whether
or
not
a
Vonda
Thomas
Smith
or
someone
in
New
York
Authority.
It
was
formally
appointed
to
be
our
local
register
for
the
city.
BA
BA
AX
Question,
oh
yeah
and
I
think
you
answer
this
but
I'm
about
delirious.
At
this
point
you
said
that,
right
now,
even
with
the
previous
staff
gone,
your
staff
are
trained
to
use
the
system
and
it
could
take
on
this
three
day
a
week
repose.
Oh
yes,.
AX
All
right
and
then
other
question
1,
you
know,
I,
think
the
clerk
for
for
making
a
proposal
and
doing
the
research
and
figuring
out
that
you
could
be
the
registrar
whatever
we
call
it
for
this.
So
I
do
want
to
applaud
you
for
taking
that.
Oh
because
I
do
like
the
idea
of
you,
know
us
providing
these
free
certificates
when
necessary,
I
think
particularly
about
you
know
some
of
the
general
assistance
people
yeah.
Absolutely
you
know
need
this,
because
you
need
more
safety
to
do
so.
Many.
H
A
C
So
the
state
code
allows
for
any
local
health
anyone
who's
issuing
vital
records
to
your
free
birth.
To
forgets
to
three
groups,
we
had
a
conversation
with
the
state
registrar
in
my
office.
Last
week
we
have
a
very
deep
understanding
of
how
this
works.
You
can
give
free
birth
certificates
to
folks
who
are
homeless.
C
You
can
give
free
birth
certificates
to
people
who
have
been
released
from
prison
in
the
last
30
in
the
last
30
or
90
days,
and
you
can
believe
that's
the
extent
of
who
you
can
give
who
you
can
waive
the
$10
a
mandatory
fee
for
anyone
else,
specifically
the
mayor
summer,
youth
program,
kids.
That
is
not
something
that
is
currently
being
offered
that
it's
not
something
that
the
city
could
absorb.
C
A
AY
A
AX
A
I
One
of
the
things
that
I
would
love
to
for
you
to
exercise
and
I
think
you
said
it,
so
we
basically
have
a
lot
of
month
and
a
half
left
within
this
budget
season,
I
think
just
looking
through
the
rearview
mirror
the
department
or
that
budget
line
generates
enough
revenue
to
cover
the
expenses.
So
in
my
mind,
this
used
to
be
a
department
that
was
wrong
with
two
people.
It.
I
So
I
I'm
not
gonna,
ask
you
to
break
down
the
math,
but
if
the
math
works
that
were
able
to
provide
the
five
days
able
to
provide
the
same
level
of
service,
I
would
like
to
see
that
you
work
through
that
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
with
the
notion
of
and
I
think
it
was
I
didn't
read
it
I
just
heard
it.
You
know
three
days
with
just
applications
coming
in
through
online
service.
AZ
AZ
E
A
console,
I
think
is
director.
Thomas
was
said:
we've
got
opportunity
now
or
the
balance
of
the
fiscal
year
to
to
keep
this
I'm
will
promise
to
keep
you
apprised
and
if
it
makes
sense
to
make
an
adjustment
we're
all
on
the
same
page
with
us
and
I
think
we
just
want
to
make
sure
the
resident
services
are
better.
Alright,
great.
A
AW
F
AW
BA
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
that,
so
the
city
of
Chicago
currently
does
tax
private
charters
and
shuttle
buses.
They
have
a
different
tax.
They
do
it
on
a
per
day
basis
and
versus
what's
per
shuttle
per
day,
I
believe,
but
anyway,
they
have
it
in
their
structure.
That
way,
so
you
can't
charge
it.
However,
I
don't
believe,
for
example,
Northwestern
University,
even
charges
the
students
for
those
buses,
evangelise
I,
don't
know,
but
I
believe
that
that's
the
case
that
the
city
of
Chicago
does
have
a
structure
that
allows
for
this.
A
A
AY
So
I.
L
E
In
Albany,
any
members
of
the
council
would
be
happy
to
follow
up
with
that
suppose,
I
mean
again
I
think
it's
11:15
we're
trying
to
get
a
sense,
the
council
of
where
you're
at
with
things,
if
there's
additional
revenue
sources
that
you'd
like
us
to
look
at.
Why
don't
you
just
list
them
at
this
point
and
we'll
do
our
best
to
get
you
information
in
the
next
week,
then
I
think
maybe
to
go
on
to
the
expense
side.
Mr.
mayor
we've
identified
the
mental
health
board.
E
H
I
think
the
buses
that
all
been
raining
are
talking
is
talking
about,
are
the
inter
campus
buses,
yeah
and
and
and
so
I'm
sure
one
of
the
northwestern
daily
folks
could
elaborate
on
this,
but
do
they
they
do
pay
for
a
lot
of
things.
So
the
bus
service
is
included
with
your
wild
card.
So
any
of
you
who
have
wild
cards
you
can
get
on
the
bus.
H
The
rest
of
us
can't.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
in
terms
of
revenue
is
that
by
not
having
a
dog
beach,
we're
losing
roughly
between
sixty
and
ninety
thousand
dollars
a
year.
If
we
have
an
opportunity
to
figure
out
a
play
area
for
animals
on
the
lakefront,
that
would
be
great
because
I
think
that
is
the
the
most
attractive
option
for
dog
owners.
So
I
would
like
to
definitely
look
at
that.
L
Read
the
explanation
about
the
entertainment
tax,
amusement
tax
I
think
it's
called
and
I
what
I
wasn't
quite
sure
who's
getting
taxed.
If,
if
mudlark
has
a
play,
they're,
not
there
tickets
are
not
taxed.
If,
if
Fleetwood
Jourdain
theatre
has
the
play,
are
those
tickets
tax
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
whose
tickets
are
taxed
because
I'm
thinking
that
revenue
source,
if
we
could
increase
it,
could
help
out
the
arts
and.
E
Mr.
mayor
members,
the
council
on
page
21
of
the
budget
memos
it's
a
4
percent
tax,
imposed
upon
every
amusement
patron
for
the
privilege
of
admission
to
any
amusement
in
the
city.
Are
the
tax
shall
not
apply
to
government
agencies,
religious
societies
or
organizations,
live
performances
conducted
or
sponsored
by
nonprofit
institutions,
organizations,
groups
or
societies,
or
no
part
of
the
net
earnings
in
order
to
the
benefit
of
any
private
shareholder?
A
person
I'm.
E
E
L
L
I
think
we
either
reconsider
that,
because
they're
serving
food
that
well
they're
gonna
watch
we'll
get
money.
Part
of
their
ticket
is
food.
The,
but
it
just
doesn't
seem
right
that
we're
all
paying
to
go
to
these
shows
not
just
there,
but
all
the
other
shows
there
shall
be
an
amusement
tax
and
that
would
help
out
all
the
arts.
E
E
E
E
L
A
AX
Right:
here's
my
room
whatever
we
are
I
would
like
a
budget
memo
about
the
insurance
fund.
I
know
we
continue
about
more
money
in,
but
if
we
can
get
a
report
of
like
your
to
date,
activity
some.
But
my
other
question
is
about
the
police
and
so
now
we're
holding
the
four
instead
of
eliminating
the
five
and
so
I,
don't
maybe
I
missed
it,
but
I,
don't
know
what
the
four
are.
AX
If
they're
the
you
know,
the
commander
I
think
it's
still
off
the
list,
so
I'm
interested
to
see
what
the
other
four
are
and
then
I'm
also
interested
I
guess:
I
have
any
more
information,
because
in
the
report
we
just
paid
for
and
talked
about
a
human
services.
She
talked
about
the
Hines
report.
She
talked
about.
AX
We
adjusted
overtime
and
I
did
not
I
know
the
initial
budget
had
a
police
increase
over
time
and
a
hundred
thousand
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
be
mindful
of
that
of
now
that
we're
keeping
these
positions
open
and
not
eliminating
them.
What
that
might
do
to
overtime,
because
I
would
like
us
to
take
a
better
look
at
police
overtime
and
really
make
sure
that
we
are
mindful
of
keeping
that
under
control.
So.
E
AX
E
AX
E
Have
done
over
the
last
year,
I'm
recommending
we
move
forward
with
the
elimination
of
the
commander.
The
commander
position
has
been
vacant
for
the
last
year.
The
Hiller
kind
study
endorsed
the
idea
of
the
elimination
of
at
least
one
commander.
We
have
been
working
with
police
staff
chief
Eddington
over
the
last,
what
four
or
five
months
on
the
the
ability
to
combine
the
detective
commander,
the
juvenile
commander
with
the
officers
who
are
in
those
commands
they
feel
comfortable
with
that,
and
so
that
is
still
proposed.
E
E
The
Human
Services
Committee
has
already
asked
the
new
police
chief
to
come
visit
before
they're,
even
selected
in
February,
to
talk
to
the
Hillard
Hines
reports.
So
I
really
think
that
what
you
see
up
there
for
police
make
sense.
The
reimbursements
from
Northwestern
are
very
important.
Either
reimbursement
or
they'll
choose
to
provide
them
for
the
services
other,
otherwise
so
I
feel
otherwise.
The
police
package
is
solid
and
we'll
get
you
the
information
onto
the
insurance
fund.
Okay,.
AY
I
E
E
I
C
I
am
requesting
that
someone
make
a
motion
to
increase
the
clerk's
offices
budget.
Our
budget,
which
has
not
been
presented
or
discussed
up
here,
has
been
cut
further
from
last
year,
and
none
of
that
was
reflected
were
I'm.
Looking
for
somebody
making
motion,
so
the
clerk's
office
can
continue
the
work
that
we've
been
doing,
especially
around
elections,
to
increase
our
budget
by
$25,000.
A
E
City
clerks
budgets
current
year
is
a
hundred
ninety
one
thousand
seven.
Eighty
four
was
the
fiscal
year
adopted
budget.
We
estimate
that
the
at
year-end
budget
will
be
two
hundred
and
ten
thousand
four
hundred
ninety
one.
The
proposed
budget
is
a
hundred
and
eighty
three
thousand
dollars
so
quick
math,
that's
a
reduction
of
seven
thousand
six
thousand,
something
like
that.
Looking
at
the
line,
that's
on
page
sixty
six
of
the
proposed
budget
on
page
67
of
the
proposed
budget,
salary
and
benefits
adopted
budget
was
155.
E
E
So
services
and
supplies
of
$31,000
is
the
budget.
The
estimate
for
services
applies
is
forty-five
thousand
nine.
Ninety
six,
so
that's
a
overage
of
fourteen
thousand
and
then
the
proposed
budget
is
thirty,
four
thousand,
so
that
is
a
increase
approximately
about
three
thousand
and
change
the
biggest
difference
there.
The
procedural
employees,
the
current
year
budget
is
zero.
The
estimated
budget
is
twenty
five
thousand
dollars,
and
that
is
then
reduced
down
to
eighty
three
hundred.
I
E
On
page
67
of
the
I'm
just
reading
out
of
the
proposed
budget,
inner
front
transfers
are
going
up
from
five
thousand
fifty
nine
dollars
to
five
thousand
two
hundred
and
ninety
five
dollars,
and
that
is
a
reflection
of
transfer
for
debt
service
to
pay
for
previous
city
clerk's
retirements,
so
that
in
the
current
year
budget
was
four
thousand.
Fifty
nine
dollars
is
going
up
to
four
thousand
two
hundred
ninety
five
dollars,
so
the
proposed
budget
they
could
be
the
adopted
budget
for
18
191,000
784.
E
A
We've
been
sitting
so
just
so
I'm,
clear
city
manager,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
I'll
enforce
all
said
in
the
budget
for
not
2018
with
a
hundred
and
ninety
one
thousand.
The
anticipated
actual
expense
for
the
city's
clerk
is
two
hundred
and
ten
thousand
bats
crack.
So
so
the
clerk's
office
clerk
read,
went
over
the
budget
by
nineteen
thousand
dollars
this
year
that
sound
right.
C
E
At
zero
and
the
estimated
amount
is
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
for
seasonal
employees,
I
think
that's,
probably
the
biggest
changed
their
election
supplies.
Our
less
office
supplies
I'm,
looking
a
looking
budget
to
actual
so
the
budget
for
election
supplies
was
ninety
five
hundred,
it's
estimated
to
be
three
thousand
clarification.
Services
about
budget
printing
is
about
budget
traveling
training
is
down
significantly
fro.
Two
thousand
the
budget.
Two
hundred
is
the
estimate
office
supplies
was
budgeted,
1,525
up
and
the
estimates
twenty
one
hundred
so
office
supplies
seasonal
employees.
C
I've
done
the
same
number
of
furlough
days
that
have
been
required
of
all
city
employees
in
solidarity,
so
furlough
days
are
for
from
my
salary,
are
not
included
there
yet,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
I
have
not
taken
a
pension
at
my
own
skin
in
the
game
to
make
sure
that
this
office
could
run
and
make
sure
that
we
could
provide
a
quality
service
for
the
residents
of
Evanston.
That's
right.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you
clerk
read,
so
what
we
need
to
do
is
we
need
to
have
a
motion
up
here
if
one
of
the
aldermen
wanted
to
move
and
increase
in
the
clerk's
budget,
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
fine
that
we've
had
the
discussion.
Let's
give
people
just
a
little
time
to
think
about
your
request.
Let's
get
back
to
the
budget
sheet.
If
there's
nothing
else
on
revenue,
I
want
to
locate
expenses
on
that
quickly
and
then
we
have
a
consent
agenda.
We
need
to
go
through
and
there
probably
be
some
items
pulled
off
of
that.
C
T
C
AY
A
I
I
C
If
you
can
clear
that
yeah
I
can
I
can
clear
that
up
so
the
money
and
the
motion
was
made
by
alderman
rue
70s.
Thank
you
for
that
motion.
Last
year.
The
motion
was
for
miscellaneous,
that
we
can
refer
back
to
the
record
to
the
minutes,
to
the
video,
and
so
the
software
was
a
potential
we
did
use
part
of
it
for
software.
Part
of
our
election
services
requires
software.
I
R
A
Okay,
okay,
all
right!
So
let's
get
back
to
the
expense
budget.
Again
now
we've
had
a
discussion
about
the
clerk's
office.
If
someone
wants
to
move
to
add
additional
money
to
the
city
manager's
budget,
for
that
you're
welcome
to
do
so
all
right.
So
we've
talked
about
revenue
on
the
expense
side.
Alderman
Winn
discussed
her
concern
about
the
cuts
to
the
mental
health
board.
Any
other
items
here
with
the
adjustments
that
the
city
manager
has
made
that
folks
want
to
I
discuss.
A
Go
ahead,
Alderman
ready,
oh
yeah,
so
the
discussion
on
the
arts
was
the
canoe:
was
the
concern
city
managers
added
back
in
the
$50,000
grant
money,
but
there
has
been
the
concern
noted
up
here
and
by
others
that
should
a
certain
amount
of
money
be
set
aside
so
that
they
can
have
some
coordinator
assistance,
administrative
assistance
and
that
I
tend
to
agree
that
you
know
we
no
longer
have
the
cultural
arts
coordinator
position.
You
know-
and
you
know
think
that
you
know
some
amount
to
support
that
group
in
making
sure
they're.
A
AY
AX
Would
like
to
have
and
I'm
pretty
sure
we
don't
have
it
in
a
description
of
what
the
management
analyst
analysts
would
do
in
the
health
department.
I
know
that
there
was
talk
about.
You
know
them
getting
grants
and
stuff,
but
I
guess.
My
concern
is
that
public
health
piece
that
we
might
still
be
missing
and
then
my
other
question
I
understand
I
might
be
on
my
own
on
this
one,
but
I
still
object
to
the
auto
allowance.
AX
I
If
there's
a
is
there
a
hybrid
Job
Description
somewhere
in
the
packet
that
I
missed
that
that
breaks
out
some
key
positions
because
as
I
look
at
it,
I
think
a
business
analyst
is
someone
who's
like
crunching
numbers
and
whereas,
when
I
look
at
the
position
formerly
held
by
Carl,
there
seems
to
be
some
really
crucial
things
in
terms
of
managing
the
food
protection
program.
Managers
are
investigates,
foodborne
illnesses
and
communicable
diseases
administers
the
West
Nile
grant.
I
E
And
mr.
Oliver
I
have
members
of
the
council
dr.
Travis
Bethel
I
talked
very
briefly.
This
afternoon
we
looked
at
some
job
descriptions.
Why
don't
you
let
us
spend
another
week
and
come
back
to
you
with
more
information.
I
think
you
know
it's
very
clear:
the
council
wants
to
be
as
supportive
as
possible.
The
department,
I
I,
think
they're.
There
there's
an
answer
here
and
I
think
another
week
worth
of
time.
Looking
at
job
descriptions,
making
sure
we've
got
what
we
need
so
much.
E
If
you
would
give
us
that,
will
we
will
be
happy
to
come
back
on
the
19th.
Is
that
that's
not
really
I?
Think
as
we
sort
through
vinyl
record
I
mean
I,
there's
a
lot
of
moving
pieces
here
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
giving
you
the
right
information.
So
let
give
us
a
week
and
we'll
come
back.
Terrific.
A
Thank
you
or
any
other
items
that
folks
want
to
discuss
on
the
expense
side
with
the
recent
changes.
Okay,
seeing
none
city
manager,
I,
think
you've.
You
and
your
staff
have
heard
sort
of
the
conversation
today
about
some
of
the
the
revenue
ideas
and
in
thoughts
as
well
as
on
the
expenditure
side.
We're
gonna
go
now
into
the
consent,
consent
agenda.
Mr.
E
Mayor
just
just
before
we
go
this
so
I'm
clear
looks
like
I'm
looking
at
the
Health
Department
I'm.
Looking
at
that
at
that
one
position:
I'm
looking
at
finding
money
to
to
fully
fund
the
Mental
Health
Board
I'm,
to
be
as
creative
as
possible,
looking
at
parking
remaining
parking
issues
and
looking
at
the
bus,
the
the
the
bus
issues,
the
amusement
tax,
but
otherwise,
if
we
do
all
of
that
and
come
back
to
you
in
a
week,
we
will
be
close
to
where
you
need
to
be.
Is
that
a
correct
statement?
I.
K
I
was
gonna
mention
that,
but
also
I
I
will
say:
I
appreciate,
aldermen
effort
ins,
looking
at
all
of
these
issues
about
the
parking,
but
I
have
a
reluctance
to
go
higher
than
a
dollar
fifty
an
hour
in
our
downtown
I,
think
that
is
counterproductive
and
and
I
withdraw
my
suggestion
of
an
extra
PEO
as
potentially
being
counterproductive.
So
the
other
things
that
that
we've
discussed
tonight
I
think
are
that
I
can
agree
with,
but
I
think
going
above.
A
dollar
fifty
is
is
be
counter
productive
for
us
Calvinism.
H
E
E
AV
Based
on
the
feedback
from
last
week's
discussion,
we
did
implement
as
part
of
this
the
increase
to
150
citywide
and
we've
number
reflects
a
march
1
start
date.
So
the
overall
number
is
about
1.2
million
dollars
if
it
were
realized
for
a
full
year,
but
we're
building
in
a
couple
of
months
to
take
the
time
to
implement
the
changes
with
the
meters
and
the
pay
boxes.
And
all
of
that.

This
is
a
major
adjustment
to
the
planned
development
at
1571,
Maple
Avenue,
Planning,
Commission
and
staff
recommend
adoption
of
the
ordinance
for
approval
of
a
major
adjustment
to
the
planned
development
at
1571
Maple
Avenue.
In
order
to
modify
the
parking
lease
condition
of
approval
from
101
parking
spaces.
G
The
staff
recommendation
is
to
70
parking
spaces
available
with
on
either
the
Maple
Avenue
or
Sherman
Avenue
garages,
as
well
as
to
modify
the
on-site,
affordable,
housing
condition
of
to
provide
one
one-bedroom
right,
one,
one:
bedroom
on-site,
affordable
housing
units
units,
two
households
with
incomes
at
or
below
50%
of
the
area
median
income
instead
of
the
current
two
units,
affordable,
housings
at
or
below
100%
of
ami.
The
period
of
affordability
for
the
unit
would
remain
at
ten
years
from
the
first
rent
up,
and
this
is
for
introduction.
G
H
I
G
G
You
know
if
maple
gets
elite
stuff
for
some
reason,
based
on
conditions
that
the
Sherman
garage
would
be
an
option.
So
that's
why
that's
there?
The
applicant
and
the
materials
that
we
have
here
had
previously
requested.
The
staff
recommendation
is
70
parking
spaces.
The
applicant
has
requested
55
the
maximum
rent
up
according
the
materials
was
46,
so
the
55
I
guess
was
intended
to
give
a
cushion.
Obviously
the
70
is
a
greater
cushion.
The
applicant
had
also
asked
for
60%
of
ami
instead
of
the
50%,
which
is
the
staff
recommendation.
G
C
A
G
L
G
A
Right
item,
p6
ordinance,
147,
there's,
18
major
adjustment
to
a
planned
development
of
1571
maple
avenue,
as
amended
passes
a
City
Council
on
a
nine
to
zero
of
okay,
we're
going
to
move
to
call
of
the

its
alderman
Braithwaite
Howie.
It's
always
you
all
the
membrane
through
it
doesn't
it
seem
better,
all
the
Wilson?
Okay,
it's
excellent!
It's
somebody
different
than
Braithwaite
starting
up
what.
M
A
AY
AX
Must
have
missed
this
I
guess
I
had
some
questions
about
the
new
thing
in
a
dope
program,
but
what
I
will
just
say,
as
my
college
Awards
is
that
I've,
you
know.
We've
watched
many
people
come
in
here
about
many
different
things.
They
care
about
this
budget
cycle,
I.
Think
since
priority-based
budgeting
we've
had
a
consistent
turnout
of
individuals,
who've
talked
about
their
personal
impact
or
their
kids
impact.
AX
I
know
it
makes
our
public
comment
really
long
as
well.
We
don't
get
to
all
of
the
things
we
should
get
to
at
a
reasonable
hour
and
so
I'm
very
hopeful,
since
we
did
not
have
our
presentation
today.
As
we
told
the
committee
the
community,
we
would
that
by
next
week,
we'll
be
at
the
point
of
having
a
better
flushed
out
discussion
and
that's
gonna
prolong
us
that
we
would
actually
give
the
community
a
date
when
they
can
hear
that.
And
then
we
will
stick
to
that
date.
AX
So
people
don't
feel
like
they
need
to
come
out
every
week
and
make
a
plea
for
something
that
we
should
all
know.
It's
very
important
to
the
community,
based
on
I
mean
we've
had
teachers
and
lawyers
and
business
people
and
students
and
a
wide
array
of
people
come
out
and
I
know
that
from
the
calls
I
get,
people
are
getting
more
and
more
frustrated
because
they
feel
like
they're
coming
out
there,
making
pleas
that
they
see
their.
You
know
other
citizens
in
the
community
make
for
things
like
mental
health
and
that's
back
on
the
table.

staying
for
those
of

that
stayed
and
those
of
you
that
are
still
up
at
home,
watching
us
and
have
a
good
night.
