Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
We
have
a
quorum
present
and
are
prepared
to
do
our
work
for
the
evening.
The
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
my
public
announcements
and
proclamations
before
I
get
to
those
that
are
on
the
published
agenda.
I
think
it's
really
critical
to
acknowledge
the
fact
that
since
we
last
had
a
council
meeting,
someone's
life
was
taken
in
our
community.
A
A
I
think
that
it's
very
hard
to
put
words
and
to
what
this
means
across
our
whole
community
and
it's
really
critical
that
we
take
this
event
as
a
Spur
to
take
dramatic
action,
dramatic
action
when
it
comes
to
support
for
our
youth,
dramatic
action
when
it
comes
to
policies
to
to
take
on
the
scourge
of
guns
on
our
streets.
A
Dramatic
action
to
keep
everyone
in
our
community
safe
I,
want
to
thank
the
many
folks
across
our
community,
both
City
of
Evanston
Personnel,
particularly
from
Our
Youth
and
Young
Adult
division,
our
Health
and
Human
Services
Department
in
our
police
department
and
in
many
partner
agencies
that
have
done
good
work
and
the
aftermath
of
that
tragedy.
But
please
let
us
make
sure
that
we
react
to
this
by
stepping
up
in
a
way
that
will
keep
everyone
in
this
community.
A
I
have
three
proclamations
to
share.
The
first
is
in
a
variety
of
ways,
really
a
proposed
of
what
I
just
mentioned.
This
is
a
proclamation
declaring
April
30th
Evanston
is
family
strong
day
that
it's
a
proclamation
being
made
in
honor
of
Dr
Marjorie,
fujara
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
you
knew
Dr
fujara.
She
was
someone
who
I
had
the
privilege
of
working
with
when
I
was
in
the
state
legislature.
She
was
one
of
the
foremost
Advocates
around
gun
safety
in
our
community.
A
A
First
now,
therefore,
I
mayor
of
the
City
of
Evanston,
do
hereby
Proclaim
April
30th
2023,
as
Evanston
is
family
strong
day
in
honor
of
Dr
Marjorie
Ruth
vajara,
who
is
a
supporter
of
strong
families
in
Evanston
and
Cook
County
through
her
work
as
a
physician
and
Community
member
focusing
on
issues
including
gun
violence,
child
physical
and
sexual
abuse,
mental
health
and
education
policy
and
I
want
to
invite
to
join
us
in
accepting
this
Proclamation
Dr
fujara's
husband,
Carl
Kerman,
as
well
as
her
children
who
are
in
attendance
this
evening
and
who
know
firsthand
the
remarkable
work
that
she
did.
A
C
On
behalf
of
my
lay
wife,
Marjorie
and
her
children
here
and
I,
just
want
to
thank
the
city
for
this
great
honor
and
for
the
opportunity
for
the
work
that
she
was
so
passionate
about,
which
is.
She
was
a
child
abuse
pediatrician
one
of
the
first
board-certified
child
abuse
pediatricians
in
the
country,
I
hope,
perhaps
saw
more
patients
of
both
physical
and
sexual
abuse
in
Cook
County
than
many
other
Physicians
throughout
the
country.
C
A
A
Clearly,
our
commitment
to
our
trees
is
a
multi-dimensional
priority
for
this
community,
and
this
is
a
proclamation
that
reflects
that
value
set
and,
secondly,
declaring
May
7th
to
May
13
2023
public
servants,
Public
Service
recognition
week,
I,
don't
think
working
for
city
government
in
Evanston
is
always
easy,
but
we
have
an
extraordinary
group
of
people
who
do
it
with
dedication
to
do
it
with
commitment
to
do
with
knowledge
who
are
great
teachers
for
me,
as
I
try
to
serve
this
community
and
without
him
life
in
this
Community
would
be
nothing
like
what
it
is
so
I
think
that's
an
important
recognition
for
us
to
make
once
a
year
and
for
us
to
remember
all
year
long.
A
D
E
E
Birds
are
very
important
to
Illinois,
economically
aesthetically,
ecologically
and
scientifically.
Illinois
has
a
responsibility
to
keep
bird
populations
robust
and
thriving.
The
grassland
birds
that
call
Illinois
prairies
home
are
amongst
the
fastest
declining
species
of
birds
in
the
nation.
Grassland
independent
bird
species
have
lost
50
percent
53
percent
of
their
population.
Over
the
past
50
years,
these
species
have
suffered
due
to
Convention
conversion
of
Agriculture,
Urban,
Development
and
habitat
fragmentation.
E
E
E
I'm
just
pay
attention
when
I
list
some
of
the
wonderful
things
that
your
community
does,
because
it
like
I
said
it
far
exceeds
that
the
Audubon
Council
would
like
to
commend
you
on
some
of
the
specific
criteria
met,
including
your
bird
friendly
building
ordinance
the
amazing
work
at
Canal,
Shores,
Golf,
Course
and
being
certified
as
an
environmental
Sanctuary
by
Audubon
International
your
community's
progress
in
climate
and
sustainability.
So
in
this
category
you
met
all
but
one
of
the
criteria
so
you've
got
your
zero
emission
strategy.
You've
got
a
bicycle
friendly,
Community
program.
E
Pardon
me,
I'd
have
to
pull
I
can
send
that
information
to
Libby,
but
it
was
the
last
one
on
the
the
application
and
that
criteria.
The
criteria
is
all
listed
on
the
website,
but
it
was
just
one.
So
it's
very
impressive.
E
In
total,
you
met
seven
criteria
in
category
one
three
criteria
and
category
two:
nine
criteria
in
category
three,
five
criteria
in
category
four
and
each
of
the
criteria
in
categories
five
and
six.
So
congratulations.
It's
a
very
much
an
honor
to
be
here.
To
present
you
with
this
designation
I
have
a
certificate,
and
typically
we
have
two
signs.
But
Libby
is
such
a
strong
Advocate
that
she
wanted
me
to
get
here.
Asap.
E
So
I
only
have
one
sign
with
me
tonight,
but
I
will
be
bringing
another
one
to
your
community,
so
you
can
share
that
and-
and
hang
that
and
I
also
have
this
I
don't
know
who
I
should
hand
this
off
to.
F
E
G
D
You
I
have
just
a
couple
of
thank
yous
I.
Do
want
to
thank
Libby
for
helping
Shepherd
us
throughout
the
process.
D
I
also
want
to
thank
councilmember
Ravel
for
her
leadership
on
this
issue,
as
well
as
the
city
council
for
passing
the
bird
friendly
building
design
ordinance
last
September
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
contributors
to
the
application,
some
of
whom
were
here
tonight,
the
Evanston
North
Shore,
Bird
Club
and
the
various
volunteers
that
manage
our
natural
areas
to
help
us
get
to
this
point
and
I
believe
we
are
only
the
sixth
municipality
in
the
state
to
achieve
this
designation
and
the
first
in
Cook
County.
D
And
my
last
announcement
is
the
mayor
referenced
a
few
minutes
ago,
the
tragic
shooting
that
we
had
on
April
12th
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
City
staff
for
their
efforts
that
evening
and
the
days
since
I
also
want
to
thank
our
various
partner
organizations
from
neighboring
communities,
Cook,
County,
Sheriff
and
Evanston
Hospital
City
staff
will
continue
to
work
hard
to
partner
with
the
community
on
violence
reduction.
Thank
you.
D
B
Comments
one
from
Wendy,
Pollock
I,
sent
you
a
memo
and
she
wanted
you
to
recognize
and
receive
that,
and
then
my
baselco,
who
wasn't
able
to
stay
for
the
meeting.
He
wanted
to
share
that
the
city
council
is
nowhere
close
to
having
achieved
38
of
its
20
50
climate
action
goals,
using
renewable
energy
credits
to
support
that
narrative
provides
the
public
with
a
false
sense
of
our
accomplishments.
I
hope
the
new
office
of
sustainability
team
will
be
painfully
honest
with
Evanston
residents
about
the
urgency
of
funding
climate
action.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
That
brings
us
to
public
comment
for
the
evening
tonight.
Each
speaker
will
be
given
three
minutes
for
their
public
comment.
We
begin,
as
always,
with
those
who
signed
up
in
person
to
speak
in
person,
beginning
with
Nathan
Campbell,
who
will
be
followed
by
Lila
mubayai,
who
will
be
followed
by
Devon
Cravens
I
know
that
there
are
some
people
who
maybe
were
shifting
over
to
zoom.
Is
that.
A
G
A
Ahead,
Mr
Campbell
you're
up.
K
Okay,
hello,
my
name
is
Nathan
Campbell
I'm,
a
junior
at
HHS,
high
school
and
I'm.
A
student
advocate
gun
violence
is
something
that
I've
been
wanting
to
solve
for
some
time
now.
I
lived
on
the
south
side
of
Chicago
and
there
was
always
something
happening
in
the
area
that
my
family
and
I
were
in
and
it
became
such
a
common
thing
that
when
we
saw
an
ambulance
by
our
house,
we
weren't
surprised
at
the
elementary
school
that
I
was
at
I,
was
outside
playing
and
someone
started.
A
L
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Lila,
maybe
I
and
I
am
a
senior
at
Evanston,
Township,
High
School
and
due
to
recent
acts
of
gun,
violence,
I
feel
more
weary
of
my
environment
and
who
I
surround
myself
with,
depending
on
where
I
go
in
terms
of
what
we
should
do
to
limit
the
amount
of
gun
violence
I
feel
as
though
there
should
be
services
for
at-risk
youth
like
free
recreational
activities
or
restorative
justice,
if
feasible
and
that's
all.
A
Looks
like
Devon
Cravens
is
not
in
the
zoom
movie.
Oh.
A
Devin's,
not
here,
okay,
it
looks
like
Olivia
Olson
is
in
the
zoom,
though
so
we'll
go
on
to
Olivia
Olson,
followed
by
Nation,
Nathan
schoenthal
and
then
Jude
faram.
M
Hello,
my
name
is
Olivia
Olson
and
I'm,
a
resident
of
the
Seventh
Ward
and
a
sophomore
at
eths
I'm
here
tonight.
Speaking
as
a
youth
Advocate
and
a
member
of
the
City
of
Evanston
youth
advisory
committee
and
gun,
violence
is
something
that
now
affects
every
aspect
of
American
Life
from
what
areas
are
deemed
as
safe
to
how
we,
as
students,
walk
through
the
halls
of
our
school
and
I,
want
to
live
in
a
community
where
I
can
feel
safe
outside
at
night
and
in
my
classes
and
at
the
beach.
M
A
N
I
am
Kimberly
Holmes,
Ross,
second
ward
I'm,
also
the
director
of
community
engagement
at
Evanston
Cradle
to
career,
and
we
did
have
a
lot
of
students
here
at
the
school
night
and,
of
course,
adult
agendas
sometimes
get
in
the
way
of
our
student
voice.
So
we're
gonna
try
to
figure
that
out
too,
but
they
really
wanted
to
speak
tonight
about
gun
violence
and
how
it
has
affected
them
on
a
personal
level
and
their
peers.
N
So
Nathan
Nathan
wrote
I'm
a
resident
of
the
Sixth
Ward
and
a
member
of
yak
youth
advisory
committee.
The
problem
of
gun
violence
is
nothing
new.
The
recent
events
at
Clark
Street
beach
have
shown
us
that
Evanston
is
not
immune
to
this
violence.
Evanston,
Youth
and
council
members
must
come
together
to
address
this
problem.
N
A
Oh
good
right,
I
believe
the
other
two
speakers
are
not
in
the
zoom
at
this
time.
So
why
don't
you
go
ahead
and
come
up
and
this
the
next
speaker
subsequently
will
be
Don
Ziegler
foreign.
O
Mayor
and
council
members
I
normally
represent
a
different
organization.
You
all
know,
but
I
have
been
heavily
blessed
by
Evanston
Cradle
to
careers
and
and
I
really
want
to
speak.
Just
as
a
mother.
Today,
a
mother
who
lived
in
the
Fifth
Ward,
as
well
as
the
eighth
ward
in
Evanston
and
I,
still
currently
serve
as
much
as
possible
in
the
community
in
Evanston.
O
I
was
actually
at
the
beach.
The
Saturday
before
this
tragic
event,
with
my
son,
who
has
special
needs
and
I,
was
on
the
lakefront
on
Wednesday
when
the
when
the
tragic
event
occurred.
My
I
have
a
teenage
son
17
years
old
and
he
was
familiar
with
Jacquees
and
one
of
his
brothers,
who
was
also
shot
and
a
lot
of
times.
O
My
son
feels
like
I'm,
being
very
strict
with
him,
even
though
we've
lived
in
these
suburbs
and
I
really
did
everything
I
could
to
hang
on
to
living
in
the
suburbs,
because
I
grew
up
in
Chicago.
I've
had
to
hit
the
floor
because
of
gunshots.
In
the
night
one
summer,
I
spent
the
whole
summer
sleeping
on
the
floor
with
my
son,
because
every
day
there
was
shooting
nearby
and
I
thought
I
gotta
raise
my
babies
in
a
safe
place
and
I
came
to
Evanston.
O
That
was
when
my
son
was
very
little,
and
now
he
has
known
three
people
here.
Three
youth
here
that
have
been
gunshot
victims
and
it's
it's
got
to
stop.
I
know
that
it's
rampant
it's
becoming
normalized
and
I'm
concerned
for
our
use,
how
that
is
affecting
them,
trauma,
wise
and
and
their
thought
patterns
and
and
their
Ambitions.
If
some
youth
feel
like
they
can't
even
see
beyond
the
age
of
18
because
of
the
violence
I'm
concerned
about
that,
so
we
have
to
find
Solutions.
O
Please
listen
to
the
youth,
because
maybe
they
know
the
best
way
to
reach
the
youth,
because
sometimes
I
wonder
if
my
son
is
hearing
everything
I'm
saying,
but
when
this
tragedy
occurred
on
Wednesday
and
I
was
on
the
lake
front
up
to
like
15
minutes
before
the
shooting
occurred,
I,
don't
know
how
that
would
have
affected
me.
Even
just
hear
hearing
the
gunshots
and
then
knowing
later
this
affected
a
family
that
I
know
and
a
mother
that
I
respect
because
of
all
the
work
I've
seen
her
doing
the
community.
O
O
We
have
to
stand
and
say
not
here
and
come
up
with
some
solutions.
I
know,
I,
don't
know
the
answers
at
this
moment,
I
was
nearly
speechless,
but
love
is
the
action
word
and
if
we
love
our
youth
in
our
community,
we've
got
to
find
some
action
to
put
towards
this.
G
P
Good
evening,
mayor
and
City
Council
Members
I'm,
Don,
Ziegler,
Fourth,
Ward
resident
and
chair
of
the
Evanson
Health
advisory
Council,
which
is
made
up
of
citizens
and
health
professionals
that
advise
our
health
department.
I
speak
in
opposition
to
the
the
Cannabis
consumption
Lounge
proposal.
P
I've
testified
on
this
issue
before
Health
and
Human
Services
land
use,
commission
planning
and
development,
but
in
news
positions
of
the
CDC,
the
Heart
Association
respiratory
Health
psychiatric
associations,
our
own
health
department,
even
the
national
highway
traffic
safety
administration,
and
now
we
know
even
the
Cannabis
industry
that
states
that
allowing
cannabis
lounges
in
our
community
puts
at
risk
public
health
and
safety.
So
please
vote
no,
and
if
you
have
any
financial
interest
in
this
issue,
definitely
recuse
yourself
from
voting.
Thank
you
kindly.
A
This
concludes
the
list
of
people
who
signed
up
in
person
to
speak
in
person.
So
now,
as
always,
we
go
to
those
who
signed
up
online
to
speak
in
person,
beginning
with
Tina
Payton
and
followed
by
Era
to
pass
it.
H
H
H
H
H
A
Thank
you
very
much.
The
next
speaker
is
Eric.
Passett
I,
don't
see
him
any
longer
as
Mr
Passat
still
here
all
right.
That
concludes
those
who
sign
up
to
speak
in
person.
We
now
move
to
those
who
signed
up
to
speak
online,
beginning
with
Sachin
Clark,
who
will
be
followed
by
Leslie
McMillan
and
then
Jamie
Collier.
Q
Q
Another
thing
which
appears
to
me
to
become
normalized
is
the
way
this.
The
Evanston
treats
its
budget
and
in
the
budget
package
in
the
packet
there's
an
item
to
revise
the
budget
once
again,
which
is
kind
of
a
normal
thing,
and
something
that
the
council
must
do
every
year
in
order
for
the
finance
department
to
have
a
clean
audit
that
they
ultimately
improve
any
and
over
spending
more
than
the
budgeted
expenditures.
Q
One
is
that
there
was
a
promise
made
to
the
council
last
year
that
in
the
future,
any
expenditure
that
was
going
to
exceed
the
budget
would
have
a
budget
adjustment
made
and
presented
to
the
council.
They
are
a
couple
of
them,
namely
the
first
one
with
expenditure
and
the
sustainability
fund,
where
this
wasn't
done.
Q
The
second
is
that
the
presentation
presents
tens
of
billions
of
dollars
as
budget
savings.
This
is
not
a
truthful
presentation
of
savings.
Savings
means
that
you
don't
have
to
spend
something
that
you
previously
thought
you
would
all
those
items
that
are
listed
for
the
various
other
funds
other
than
the
general
fund
are
merely
postponed
into
the
next
year.
This
should
be
clear
and
not
included
in
this
as
a
savings.
Q
A
Q
A
A
A
Spectacularly
expanded
sustainability
team,
a
presentation,
I
believe
correct.
J
Good
evening,
members
of
city
council,
mayor
biss
clerk,
Mendoza
city
manager,
Stowe
I'm,
Kara,
Pratt,
the
sustainability
and
resilience
manager
for
our
sustainability
and
resilience
division
within
the
city
manager's
office.
This
evening,
I'm
presenting
an
update
on
the
implementation
of
our
climate
action
and
resilience
plan,
as
well
as
a
presentation
of
our
final
2023
action
agenda.
J
S
Mendoza
city
council,
everybody
in
the
public,
my
name
is
Kirsten
drehobel
I'm,
a
sustainability
and
resilience
specialist
I'm.
A
recent
graduate
from
the
University
of
Arizona,
with
Specialties
in
urban
sustainability
I'm
in
project
management.
I
previously
worked
for
the
city
of
Indianapolis,
with
the
parks
department,
so
I'm
very
pleased
to
be
back
in
city
government
and
very
much
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
all
with
the
public
serving
the
City
of
Evanston
and
furthering
the
climate
action
and
resilience
plan.
Thanks.
T
T
I
also
have
worked
as
a
consultant
for
a
variety
of
sustainability
government
related
topics
at
a
variety
of
government
levels.
I'm
really
excited
to
be
working
for
the
City
of
Evanston
and
continue
to
work
with
you
all
on
reaching
sustainability
goals
that
we
have
and
feel
free
to
reach
out
for
anything
else.
So
thanks.
J
Thank
you
all
so
much
and
now
on
to
our
next
accomplishment.
Thanks
to
Ben
and
Kirsten's
contributions,
we
did
manage
to
submit
a
grant
for
the
EPA
environmental
justice
government
to
government
Fund
in
support
of
our
One-Stop
shop
for
affordable
housing,
retrofits,
and
that
was
just
in
their
very
first
week.
J
In
addition
to
that,
Grant
application.
We
also
submitted
in
collaboration
with
Brian
Zimmerman.
The
solid
waste
coordinator
in
public
works,
another
EPA
grant
for
increased
recycling
education
and
we've
submitted
a
third
Grant
in
support
of
our
Fleet
electrification,
especially
for
the
police
department,
which
is
from
the
Metropolitan
mayor's
caucus
as
well
as
ComEd.
So
please
cross
your
fingers
in
hopes
that
we
can
get
some
of
that
grant
funding
to
further
our
goals.
J
And
then
the
last
accomplishment
that
I
wanted
to
highlight
is
a
partnership
with
administrative
Services,
specifically
the
facilities
in
Fleet
division,
who
have
undertaken
a
process
with
our
division
to
look
at
our
Municipal
Fleet
in
terms
of
right
sizing
and
electrification,
and
so
from.
When
we
first
started,
we
had
one
electric
vehicle:
now
we
have
12,
so
we've
purchased,
as
you
all
are
aware.
Six
Chevy
bolts
and
five
Ford
e-transit
bands
in
the
past
several
months
so
really
made
a
huge
contribution
and
difference
in
terms
of
vehicle
electrification.
J
So
thanks
to
my
colleagues
for
that,
so
at
this
point,
I
do
have
a
two-page
document
in
your
packets,
which
indicates
exactly
what's
going
on
in
terms
of
the
2023
action
agenda.
So
please
use
that
as
a
reference
as
I
go
through
a
couple
slides.
The
format
of
this
is
a
little
bit
different,
because
I
wanted
to
highlight
a
different
sort
of
structure,
so
I'll
now
go
into
legislation
that
you
should
be
aware
of.
That
will
be
coming
before
you
within
the
next
year.
J
J
The
next
item
is
the
tree
preservation
ordinance,
which
again,
we've
been
discussing
at
this
point
for
several
months.
We
plan
to
have
that
before
Planning
and
Development
within
the
next
couple
weeks,
I
think
within
the
month
of
May
in
terms
of
building
sufficiency,
we
have
begun
some
preliminary
community
outreach
related
to
the
phase
out
of
new
natural
gas
connections,
and
then
some
Associated
efforts
that
will
go
into
2024
include
consideration
of
adopting
the
Illinois
stretch
code
once
it's
available
to
us
and
expanding
our
benchmarking
efforts
into
building
performance
standards.
J
So
that's
everything
related
to
legislation
to
keep
in
mind
over
the
next
few
months.
In
terms
of
requests
for
proposals,
there
are
three
main
efforts
to
focus
on.
The
first
is
our
environmental
Equity
investigation.
As
a
reminder,
that's
included
in
the
fiscal
year
2023
budget
to
begin
that
process.
J
The
second
is
to
install
solar
at
the
Robert
Crown
Community
Center.
That's
again
something
we've
talked
about
for
several
months
now,
and
the
third
RFP
to
keep
in
mind
is
actually
two
separate
projects.
One
is
our
Community
Choice
aggregation.
The
other
is
community
solar.
Those
contracts
are
up
at
the
end
of
the
year
with
MC
squared,
so
you'll
have
more
information
on
that
in
the
next
few
months.
J
J
J
Sustain
Evanston
or
our
our
sustainable
business
incentive
program
has
officially
launched
as
of
Earth
day
so
just
two
days
ago.
That
is
a
partnership
with
the
Economic
Development
Division
and
again
as
a
reminder
that
was
in
our
fiscal
year
2023
budget
for
250
000.
Those
are
micro
grants
from
one
thousand
to
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
with
mixed
matching
funding
depending
on
the
project.
So
if
you
have
a
business
and
you're
hearing
this
right
now,
please
check
out
our
website
sustainmentston.org
and
check
out
more
information
on
that
we're
accepting
rolling
applications.
J
Now
next
we
have
the
parks
and
green
space
strategic
plan,
that
is
a
parks,
department
and
Engineering
effort
that
is
ongoing.
They're,
currently
seeking
Community
input
on
different
aspects
of
that
plan,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we've
been
partnering
with
facilities
and
Fleet
to
work
on
our
Municipal
Fleet
right,
sizing
and
electrification.
That
study
is
anticipated
within
this
quarter
in
the
implementation
phase
would
go
through
2035.
J
Many
of
the
efforts
that
I've
already
listed
include
a
significant
amount
of
community
outreach,
especially
the
legislative
items
that
are
a
bit
more
controversial,
but
we
did
want
to
highlight
a
few
community
outreach
projects
that
were
not
a
part
of
the
previous
list.
So
first
we
have
Emergency
Management,
that's
a
partnership
with
the
fire
department,
division,
Chief
cool
on
periodic
education
on
preparedness
and
management.
J
Next
we
have
our
environmental
justice
GIS
map.
Again,
that's
a
part
of
the
environmental
justice
resolution
from
2020..
Third,
we
have
a
partnership
with
the
urban
sustainability
directors
Network
to
hire
an
equity
diversity
and
inclusion
summer.
Fellow
applications
are
due
tomorrow,
you
can
find
more
information
by
giving
that
a
Google
or
sending
me
an
email.
This
is
a
partnership
that
recognizes
the
whiteness
of
the
sustainability
field
and
works
to
try
to
address
that
challenge
and
diversify
the
field.
J
It
pays
25
an
hour
and
it's
full-time
for
12
weeks
and
then
finally,
we
have
our
public-facing
implementation
dashboard.
This
is
a
collaboration
with
our
carp
implementation
task
force,
as
well
as
Community
activists,
to
make
sure
that
our
climate
action
resilience
plan
data,
both
qualitative
and
quantitative
lives
on
a
website
and
is
more
interactive
with
members
of
the
public.
So
we're
working
on
that
through
the
third
quarter
of
this
year,
and
that
concludes
the
formal
part
of
my
presentation.
But
I
would
be
really
eager
to
hear
any
questions
that
you
have.
Thank
you
so
much.
R
I
didn't
think
I
would
have
been
the
first
person
well,
one
I
want
to
welcome
I
didn't
get
to
meet
you,
sir,
before
the
meeting,
but
welcome
I
did
get
to
meet
you
so
welcome.
R
While
there
have
been
folks
who
have
been
pushing
to
get
your
positions
for
years,
I'm
going
to
take
a
little
bit
of
credit
for
pushing
to
get
the
funding
for
your
positions
through
an
increase
in
the
wheel
tax
and
the
whole
council's
I
think
the
whole
council's
almost
unanimously
supported
that,
and
let's
put
the
funding
so
really
excited
that
you
all
are
here.
I
I
want
to
highlight,
as
really
for
the
whole
team.
R
I
know,
Cara's,
not
afraid
to
tell
us
what
it
is
like
it
is,
but
I
just
want
to
highlight:
Mike's
Mike,
Mike,
fasilko
who's,
public
commentary,
you'll
likely
hear
him
and
see
him
many
times
when
he
comes
up
here.
R
Other
other
policies
that
aren't
really
moving
the
needle
as
much
as
we
need
to,
and
we
need
you
all
in
Cara
to
continue
the
work
of
really
pushing
us
to
move
forward
and
really
bring
us
good
data
that
can
help
us
make
informed
decisions
like
the
bag
tax
that
we'll
be
voting
on
pretty
soon,
which
are
small
things.
If
we
can't
tackle
the
small
things,
I
think
it's
hard
to
to
me.
It
feels
hard
to
tackle
the
big
things
and
I
want
to
highlight.
R
You
know
this
was
back
of
the
napkin
math
if
I
remember
correctly,
but
we
had
a
conversation
months
and
months
ago
about
trying
to
put
again
back
the
napkin
math
but
put
a
number
on
what
it
would
cost
for
the
City
of
Evanston
to
actually
get
to.
You
know
to
meet
our
carp
goals
and
if
I
remember
correctly,
you
know
our
rough
estimate.
Your
rough
estimate
was
I.
Think
it's
over
70
million
dollars
is
that
does
it
sound
about
right
am
I
way
off
on
that.
R
Right
that
I'm,
sorry,
if
I
wasn't
clear
I,
didn't
mean
that
city
of
Evans
as
a
whole
are
I
mean
the
City
of
Evanston,
as
an
institution
would
have
to
spin
that,
and
so
that's
on
top
of
our
100
million
dollar
unfunded
infrastructure
liability,
our
unfunded
pension
liability.
So
and
we
have
now
an
unfunded
carp
liability.
If
you
will.
R
So
I
just
want
to
highlight
if
we
really
are
going
to
do
this,
if,
if
it's
not
just
going
to
be
a
piece
of
paper-
and
you
know
I'm
glad
you
all
have
jobs,
but
if
we're
not
just
going
to
throw
away
whatever
you
all
are
making
to
have.
You
know
this
group
come
up
and
make
us
feel
good
and
give
us
presentations.
R
We
actually
have
to
dig
deep
into
the
work
of
making
the
tough
choices
to
raise
the
70
million,
that
we
need
just
to
change
Municipal
operations
by
2035,
20
yep
and
that's
on
that's
nowhere
near
including
you
know.
If
we're
going
to
you
know,
help
homeowners,
you
know
like
our
One-Stop
shop
and
other
initiatives
that
we
need
to
engage
in.
This
is
a
huge
undertaking.
Yes,
it's
going
to
take
federal
dollars
and
state
money
and
other
money
Revenue,
but
it's
we're.
R
We
have
a
council
that
is
unable
to
even
I'm
going
to
be
blunt
here
again,
that's
uneven,
unable
to
even
pass
a
plastic
bag
ban
in
tax.
How
the
hell
are
we
going
to
raise
70
million
dollars?
How
are
we
going
to
make
the
tough
decisions
to
move
this
Beyond
where
we
are,
and
at
some
point
we
either
have
to
say
that
this
is
just
an
aspirational
goal
that
you
know
we
say
we
care
about.
Well,
we
don't,
or
we
have
to
actually
start
making
progress
and
I
appreciate
this
presentation.
U
Thank
you.
Okay,
we've
talked
about
this
out
there
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
it
out
here.
Can
you,
as
we
figure
out
costs
like?
Can
we
make
sure
that
we
keep
in
mind
like
a
per
household
cost
here
and
I?
Think
it's
probably
a
little
more
complicated
than
just
taking
7
million
and
dividing
it
by
30,
000
or
so
households,
but
I
think
that's
an
important
part
of
this.
U
As
we
talk
about
raising
fees,
because
we
also
talk
about
affordability
and
I
think
to
councilman
reads:
point
you
know
some
businesses
won't
just
they
won't
change
practices,
they'll
change
locations
and
that's
an
issue
that
we've
got
to
address
as
well.
So
I
think
as
we
do.
This
anything
worth
doing
is
worth
funding
and
worth
tracking,
and
it's
important
that
we
keep
in
mind
the
per
household
cost
of
any
of
these
policies.
So
we
talked
about
that
outside
and
I.
Just
told
you
I'd
ask
about
that.
U
J
U
J
So
we
did,
we
found
some
preliminary
studies
based
mostly
in
2019,
and
this
would
be
a
national
average
that
the
household
cost
of
deep
decarbonization
retrofits
averages
at
forty
seven
thousand
dollars
per
household
with
a
plus
or
minus
of
thirty
six
thousand
dollars.
So
you
can
imagine
that
is
a
huge
range
of
costs
depending
on
the
household
and
the
situation,
and
then
some
other
things
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
were
understood.
J
For
anyone
who
wants
more
information
about
the
household
building,
decarbonization
View-
and
there
was
another
study
we
looked
at
that
showed
that
just
for
HVAC
electrification,
the
average
is
about
imagining
that
there's
fifteen
thousand
dollars
up
front
and
thinking
through
the
lifetime
costs
over
16
years
that
you'd
save
eight
thousand
dollars
over
that
time.
So
we
also
wanted
to
project
that,
just
because
some
of
these
costs
are
very
steep
from
the
household
level.
J
There
are
situations
where
you
would
save
money
over
time
and
I'm
sure
that
I
left
out
some
things
in
terms
of
how
Tech
becomes
cheaper
over
time.
Incentives
change
over
time
also,
something
that
was
brought
up
is
depending
on
how
we
finance
a
project
and
the
interest
rates
at
the
time.
Those
are
all
different
factors,
so
did
I
leave
anything
out
that
I
should
add.
V
V
If
you
look
at
our
number
and
I
understand
that
this
is
not
the
meeting
for
our
annual
inventory
report
that
will
be
coming
up
in
six
months,
but
we're
making
progress
on
that
on
that
goal
of
reaching
zero
carbon
by
2050
and
the
work
so
far
has
been
fairly
easy
and
it's
going
to
get
harder
as
we
get
more
serious
about
this
and
the
work
and
it
becomes
more
difficult
to
make
these
incremental
changes.
V
But
I
really
think
we're
heading
in
the
right
direction.
With
this
action
plan,
that
kind
of
closes
the
gap
between
aspiration
and
step-by-step
action
and
I
will
point
out
that
this
is
the
second
time
we've
done
this.
We
did
it.
For
the
first
time
last
April,
we
came
up
with
a
a
several
dozen
action
plan,
action
items
that
were
a
result
of
a
discussion
between
Kara
and
various
staff
departments
at
the
city,
the
environment
board,
Community
stakeholders,
council
members,
and
we
have
before
us
tonight
a
plan
that
approves
actions
that
are
achievable.
V
Given
our
current
budget,
given
our
current
Personnel
constraints,
given
our
current
bandwidth,
I'd
love
to
you
know,
double
the
size
of
your
apartment
again
to
take
even
more
action
next
year,
but
that's
going
to
require
us
to
come
up
with
funding,
and
you
know
I
will
acknowledge
councilmember
Reed's
contribution
to
helping
us.
You
know
come
up
with
some
sustainable
sources
of
funding.
V
I'll
point
out
that
two
years
ago
we
did
not
have
a
climate
action
Fund
in
this
year's
budget
we
have
more
than
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
that
fund
and
so
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
next
year's
budget,
you
know
finding
more
ways
to
put
money
in
that
fund,
whether
it's
through
local
sources
of
revenue
or
additional
Grant.
You
know
opportunities,
or
what
have
you
I
also
want
to
point
out.
That
Evanston
is
is
not
an
island.
V
You
know
we
are
not
trying
to
go
carbon
free
and
we're
not
in
in
isolation
of
everybody
else
in
the
country
and
everybody
else
in
the
region,
so
paying
very
close
attention
to
what's
going
on
at
the
state
level,
what's
going
on
at
the
national
level,
taking
advantage
of
programs
that
are
available
as
they
become
available,
helping
as
a
community
through
our
other
elected
representatives
and
those
bodies
of
government
push
policy
in
the
right
direction,
Evenson
can
be
a
leader.
V
Q
R
A
With
seven
voting
in
favor
and
none
voting
against
the
motion
carries
the
update
is
accepted
and.
E
A
G
And
see
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
I
am
president
and
have
been
so
since
most
of
the
public
comment
and
I
am
an
eye
as
well.
Well,.
R
A
Is
there
a
second
council
member
Reed
moves
the
we
accept
and
place
on
files
document
recommendations
regarding
pedestrian
crosswalk
treatments,
councilmember
Revell
seconds
I,
believe
we
have
Mr
Kano
to
give
a
update.
W
Good
evening,
members
of
the
council
mayor
biss
clerk
Mendoza
city
manager,
still
my
name-
is
Edgar
Kano
I'm,
the
Public
Works
agency
director
I,
want
to
take
a
couple
of
minutes
here
just
to
go
over
pedestrian
crosswalk
treatments.
This
is
based
on
a
referral
made
by
council
member
suffered
in
back
in
2022.
So
try
not
to
take
up
too
much
of
everyone's
time.
W
It's
a
little
background
there
there
currently
are
67
signed
and
marked
Crossing
locations
throughout
the
city.
These
are
locations
where
they're,
not
any
traffic
signals
or
always
stops
you're.
Looking
at
the
map,
it
actually
explains
the
type
of
crosswalks,
whether
it's
blinking
LED,
if
it's
an
in-street
sign
or
if
there
are
Flags
near
near
parks,.
W
So,
currently,
the
City
of
Evanston
is
getting
frequent
requests
for
more
for
more
crosswalks
we're
trying
to
do
our
best
in
order
to
fulfill
these
requests.
We
know
we
want
to
go
to
a
more
pedestrian
bike
friendly
Evanston,
but
we
also
want
to
be
realistic
with
the
request
and
make
sure
that
we
are
resolving
concerns
rather
than
creating
extra
concerns.
W
So
when
we're
reviewing
these
we're
going
over
multiple
criteria,
we
want
to
make
sure
and
take
into
account
the
proximity
of
pedestrian
generators,
for
instance,
Parks
shopping
centers
Community
buildings
also
want
to
take
the
proximity
to
designated
schools
and
other
Crossings
traffic
signals
and
always
stops.
We
don't
want
to
put
a
crosswalk
if
there's
a
controlled,
Crossing,
say
10
20
feet
away.
We
take
a
look
at
existing
traffic
conditions
and
we
also
look
at
physical
site
characteristics.
W
Characteristics
excuse
me,
such
as
visibility,
I'll,
try
not
to
put
them
around
any
curve
and
we
want
to
make
sure
there's
adequate
lighting
at
the
location
as
well.
We
also
take
into
account
changes
in
grade
not
putting
any
on
hills
and
also
not
installing
any
crosswalks
in
multi-lane
roads
like
a
four-lane
road.
W
W
So,
currently
right
now.
Most
of
the
common
complaints
that
we're
receiving
number
one
is
that
drivers
are
not
stopping
or
slowing
down
when
they're
coming
up
to
crosswalks,
and
then
drivers
are
saying
that
pedestrians
stepping
out
into
the
street
without
giving
drivers
a
chance
to
slow
down
and
stop
so
it's
kind
of,
like
you
know,
who's
at
fault
here
and
one
one
blame
in
the
other.
W
One
of
the
things
I
want
to
point
out
and
I
think
is
very
important
for
public
education
is
that
the
state
law
does
not
require
drivers
to
stop
or
yield
if
pedestrians
have
not
started
crossing
the
street.
So
a
lot
of
times
you
see
pedestrians
see
a
car
is
coming.
They
just
feel
you
know
what
I
got
a
safety
vest
on
whatever
the
case
is
I'm
unstoppable.
Let
me
just
keep
on
walking
and
that's
where
mishaps
happened,
so
I
think
it's
important
to
promote
that
so
getting
into
our
crosswalk
types.
W
We
have
four
types
of
crosswalks.
This
was
determined
back
in
our
2012
pedestrian
safety
evaluation
committee
report,
the
general
the
first
crosswalk
is
the
general
crosswalk.
This
is
the
most
common
throughout
the
city.
This
typically
just
has
a
advanced
pedestrian
crossing
sign
crossing
sign
at
the
intersection
high
visibility
markings
denoting
the
crosswalk
and
a
state
law
stop
here
for
for
pedestrians.
This
just
gives
a
better
view.
I
believe
this
is
dodging
Monroe,
so
you
can
see
here.
W
You
got
your
pavement
markings
your
at
intersection,
Crossing
or
excuse
me
at
your
crosswalk
sign
and
your
state
law
sign
and
then
a
couple
hundred
feet
back.
You
have
the
crosswalker
head
sign,
so
the
second
type
that
we
install
is
the
senior
Crossing.
So
this
is
basically
a
general
Crossing.
With
a
couple
of
items
added
we
have
excuse
me.
We
have
the
senior
crossing
sign
to
actually
denote
that
it's
a
senior
Crossing
and
in
a
lot
of
these
locations
we
put
the
in-street
sign.
W
We
do
feel
and
have
data
that
the
in-street
sign
does
work.
One
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
note
is
that
it's
a
current
cost
of
three
hundred
dollars
per
sign,
so
the
initial
cost
isn't
that
expensive.
However,
on
an
annual
basis,
we
spent
about
seven
thousand
dollars
replacing
these
signs.
We
currently
only
have
29
throughout
the
city,
so
we
replace
say
about
23
a
year,
not
necessarily
throughout
the
city.
Sometimes
some
get
hit
more,
you
know,
often
than
others.
We
replace
the
same
one
about
three
or
four
times.
W
W
W
Here's
another
one
at
Emerson
and
Dewey,
so
the
third
type
that
we
have
is
excuse
me
a
Parks
Crossing.
This
is
pretty
much
like
the
generals.
Crossing
that
has
these
four
items
here,
but
at
the
parks
Crossing
we
also
install
Crossing
Flags.
The
cost
for
the
crossing
flags
are
100,
plus
five
dollars
per
flag.
We
have
noticed
a
lot
of
maintenance
issues
with
the
with
these
Crossing
Flags.
They
seem
to
just
walk
away
a
lot
of
times.
W
You
know
we
get
maintenance,
requests
to
come
back
and
replace
them,
which
isn't
a
big
deal
a
lot
of
times,
also
they're
just
hanging
out
on
one
side
of
the
street.
People
don't
bring
them
back,
so
it
does
take
some
staff
time
to
go
back
out
there
and
pretty
much
maintain
them.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
into
you're
going
to
see
later
on
our
recommendations
is
possibly
getting
rid
of
these
flags.
W
So
you
can
see
here.
This
is
a
gross
point
at
there
near
Lovelace.
Park
has
everything
here
and
if
you
can
see
down
at
these
posts
here
we
do
have
the
flags.
So
this
is
another
depiction
near
Lovelace
at
Crawford
and
Thayer.
This
is
somewhat
of
an
older
picture.
I
do
believe
we
have
an
in-street
sign
right
there
in
the
middle
all
right.
The
fourth
type
that
we
have
is
a
school
crossing,
so
the
school
crossing
put
a
little
bit
more
into
it,
a
little
bit
more
expensive.
W
W
Oh
and
here's
an
example
of
that
on
Main,
Street
I
believe
that's
Florence
near
Washington,
School
and
another
one
here
on
Dodge
near
doll,
school.
W
So
one
of
the
other
items
that
we've
started
to
do
is
install
curb
extensions,
sidewalk,
curb
extensions,
pretty
much
shortened,
The
Crossing
distance
that
the
pedestrians
have
to
cross
another
thing
that
it
does
is
improved
us
line
of
sight.
The
cars
are
able
to
see
the
pedestrians
now
and
pedestrians
aren't
blocked
by
the
vehicles
in
the
parking
Lane.
So
it's
a
little
bit
safer
also
works
as
a
traffic
calming
measure
since
the
road
Narrows
Vehicles,
just
instinctly
or
excuse
me,
operators
just
instinctly,
start
to
to
slow
down
a
little
bit.
W
Some
of
the
things
associated
negatives
I
want
to
call
necessarily
negatives,
but
I
guess
some
of
the
items
that
we
need
to
work
out
with
these
is
that
it
promote.
You
can
see.
Excuse
me
from
what
you
can
see
here.
If
not
done
completely
right,
we
don't
get
the
radius
right.
It
is
a
little
bit
difficult
for
our
street
sweepers
to
to
get
in
there
and
make
sure
we
get
everything
out
and
also
a
little
bit
of
a
concern
for
our
snow
plows.
W
W
W
We
have
high
hopes,
for
it
can't
wait
to
see
what
it
actually
does
now
there
are
some
kinds
associated
with
these
as
well
could
create
some
loud
noises
from
just
the
trucks
changing
in
that
elevation
I've
seen
in
other
communities
where
there
has
been
a
little
bit
of
snow
and
ice
buildup
right
as
you
get
to
it
at
that
elevation
change
and
the
deterioration
of
that
lip
as
the
elevation
changes
as
well,
but
we're
excited
to
implement
it
and
see
what
it
does
for
the
City
of
Evanston
how
it
works
for
us.
W
The
second
thing
we're
trying
is
a
stamped
asphalt.
This
is
going
to
be
happening
in
our
Oakton
project,
a
couple
of
locations.
It's
not
going
to
look
exactly
like
this,
but
it's
a
pretty
good
rendering
of
potentially
what
it
could
look
like.
So
we're
gonna
have
to
take
data
after
that
and
see
what
it
does
to
improve
see
if
we
can
incorporate
that
in
any
future
designs
as
well.
W
One
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
to
do
is
expand
the
use
of
in-street
signs,
as
I
previously
stated,
they
do
cost
300
and
it's
an
annual
typically
right
now
annual
maintenance
fee
of
seven
thousand
dollars
to
replace.
Since
they
do
get
hit
number
two.
We
want
to
expand
the
use
of
crosswalk
signs
with
flinking
LED
borders.
W
We
want
this
done
through
a
petition
process,
because
there
are
some
negatives
to
this.
We
have
had
people
claim
that
you
know
you're
going
to
be
polluting
the
neighborhood
with
just
light
just
that
extra
light.
I
know
it's
not
a
lot
of
light,
but
sometimes
people
just
want
to
you
know
make
mention
of
that.
Another
thing:
is
you
can't
really
put
it
in
shady
areas
since
they
are
solar
powered,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they
get
direct
sunlight
in
order
to
charge.
W
Are
we
going
to
try
to
utilize
curb
extensions
where
appropriate
and
then
again
thinking
of
discontinuing
the
use
of
flags
at
crosswalks
trying
to
get
some
feedback
from
the
community?
I
don't
know
if
they
do
feel
a
little
bit
safer
having
that
there,
but
we
feel
that
other
things
such
as
putting
an
in-street
sign,
will
work
better
and
have
a
more
of
a
desired
effect
number
five.
We
want
to
provide
we're
asking
to
provide
additional
funding
for
implementation
and
upgrade
for
crosswalks.
W
Therefore,
you
know
we
are
asking
for
a
300
000
in
our
funds,
one-time
use
and
then
an
additional
20
000
in
public
works
operations,
budget
for
maintenance
annually
that
twenty
thousand
will
go
to
to
buying
the
blinking
LED
lights
and
also
purchasing
any
increased
in-street
signs,
as
well
as
just
pavement
markings.
One
of
the
other
things
that
we're
going
to
do
is
just
keep
a
better
eye
on
our
crosswalks
to
see
if
they
need
to
be
refreshed.
W
A
little
bit
earlier,
currently
we
do
a
five-year
cycle
for
pavement
markings,
but
we've
noticed
that
a
lot
of
busy
intersections,
especially
it's
near
schools
where
there's
buses
or
just
the
truck
routes.
Those
need
to
be
refreshed
a
little
bit
earlier.
So
we're
going
to
be
looking
into
that
as
well.
So
that's
all
that
I
have
right
now,
I'm
glad
I,
take
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
A
Thank
you
so
much.
We
begin
with
council
member
Reid
followed
by
suffered
him.
U
U
To
say,
thank
you
for
the
work.
This
is
something
I
get
a
lot
of
emails
about,
and
you
know
man
and
I
appreciate
all
the
work
you
do
turn
around,
and
this
is
like
a
pretty
core
Municipal
responsibility.
So
I
appreciate
you
taking
it
seriously
and
looking
at
places
throughout
the
city
where
we
can
improve
safety.
R
Yes,
I
I
shared
my
screen
here.
R
I,
don't
know
if
how
we
get
to
that,
but
point
being,
is
it
I'm
really
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
as
well.
I
have
had
a
number
of
folks
reach
out
in
my
ward,
particularly
around
our
schools.
With
you
know:
Dawes
I'm,
sorry,
Dewey,
dos
I'm,
sorry
I
grew
up
near
do
in
Fifth
Ward,
you
know
with
concerns
around
pedestrian
safety,
particularly
at
Ridge
and
Oakton
and
throughout
the
ward,
and
so
this
is
really
helpful.
R
I'm
glad
that
you
beat
me
to
it
because
when
I
first
flipped
my
light
on
it
was
about
raised
pedestrian,
crosswalks
and
I've
been
seeing
them
popping
up
in
nearby
communities
and
I
stop
and
take
pictures
of
weird
stuff
like
this.
When
I.
G
See
it
and
so.
R
This
is
in
in
the
49th
ward
of
Chicago,
when
I
was
recently
in
Mexico.
This
was
a
raised
crosswalk
and
it
and
I
know
in
Norway,
and
other
countries
raised.
Crosswalks
are
extremely
popular
and
I
can
tell
you
as
a
pedestrian
walking
in
these
areas.
It
really
does
feel
nice
to
have
the
cars
come
up
to
your
level
rather
than
stepping
down
into
what
feels
like
a
space
for
cars.
R
This
was
near
a
bus
station,
so
certainly
there
were
large
vehicles
going
over
that
and
it
certainly
adds
Some
Noise,
particularly
as
buses
are
going
over
that,
but
and
then
I
was
looking
for
some
statistics
and
I
couldn't
find
anything
but
in
a
very
short
search
but
I,
recall
reading.
You
know
the
efficacy
of
raised
crosswalks,
particularly
in
Norway,
and
how
certainly
I
know
that
raised
medians
in
the
middle
of
the
road
reduces
traffic,
pedestrian
accidents
significantly
and
I'd.
Imagine
race
crosswalks!
R
Does
that
as
well
and
I
just
want
to
put
it
on.
You
know
if,
for
your
next
project,
I
invite
you
to
come
to
the
eighth
Ward
and
give
us
some
race
crosswalks,
particularly
near
our
schools
and
on
Ridge,
if
that's
even
an
eligible
Street,
for
something
like
this,
maybe
not
as
steeper
gradient
as
that.
R
Maybe
sorry,
that's
a
curb
I
take
pictures
of
Curves,
maybe
it's
something
a
little
closer
to
that,
which
is
a
much
the
easier
kind
of
Crossing,
but
yeah
I
just
really
want
to
say
thank
you
and
highlight,
highlight
that
and
really
excited
to
see
what
comes
from
those
studies
and
particularly
even
the
I'm.
Sorry,
what
was
the
term
for
the
asphalt
that
the
diet
asphalt
stamped
I'm?
Sorry,
what
is,
can
you
describe
what
stamped
asphalt
is.
W
R
Okay,
yeah
interesting
what
I've
seen
in
other
some
other
countries
is
there's
like
a
particular
for
bike
Lanes
another
like
a
died
asphalt.
That
is
a
different
color
and
those
seem
to
again.
I
haven't
seen
data
on
it,
but
from
what
I've
read
about
user
experience
seems
to
make
the
user
experience
a
lot
better
and
I
can
say
that
these
race
crosswalks
certainly
do
as
a
pedestrian.
So
thank
you
for
the
work
really
looking
at
see
this
move
forward
and
make
these
kind
of
investments
in
our
city.
V
Thank
you,
I
too,
get
a
bunch
of
calls
and
emails
from
residents.
I'm
sure
we
all
do
so.
What's
the
procedure
now,
I
have
a
I
I
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
the
options
are,
but
I
get
a
call.
Not
every
specific
request
can
be
accommodated,
of
course,
and
we
want
to
deploy
these,
you
know
strategically
and
rationally.
So
I
got
a
call.
What
should
I
do
with
that?
W
You
get
you
can
forward
on
to
me.
I'll
meet
with
the
traffic
engineer
and
the
city
engineer
too,
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
evaluate
it
and
see
if
it
makes
sense
to
put
something
there.
We
currently
already
have
a
list
of
some
areas
that
we
we
are
looking
into
as
well
to
make
those
but
yeah
just
anything.
You
have
I'd
be
more
than
glad
to
to
take
that.
Okay,.
V
A
In
favor
and
non-voting

the
motion
carries
the
recommendations
are
accepted

placed
on

and
I
want

our
team

the
diligent
work
on
what
is
absolutely
a
really
core
and
fundamental
Municipal
function.
A
This
brings
us
to
the
consent
agenda
for
the
evening.
Listen
carefully,
I
have
a
lot
of
oh
thank
you.
I
have
a
lot
of
sort
of
pre-announcements
here.
The
following
two
items
were
amended
in
committee
and
thus
will
come
off
the
consent
agenda,
so
their
amendments
can
be
so
they
can
be.
Amendments
can
be
stated
and
they
can
be
considered
in
that
form.
Those
items
are
A2
and
A3
P2
was
tabled,
so
will
not
be

the
eight
items

This

to
item
A2
council
member
Harris.
Do
you
want
to
articulate
the
amendment
that
was
added
to
A2
before
we
and
then
perhaps
make
a
motion.
I
A
Is
a
specific

motion
then
I.
I
Move

Where
again
there
was
an
amendment
that
was
made
in

yes,.
I
So
the
amendment

This

to
item
a

which
you

to
make
a
motion.
I
I
approve
a
move
for
the
approval
of
change
order.
Number
three
to
the
agreement
with
Smith
group
for
the
Evanston
Shoreline
repairs,
RFQ
2145.
A
X
F
X
Okay,
thank
you.
I
would
just
ask
I
think
most
of
the
from
the
feedback
I
got
from
dog
beach,
as
well
as
from
disabled
interest.
Did
residents
I,
don't
think
they
felt
like
either
of
those
plans
were
really
quite
right.
I
would
love
it
if
we
could
hold
this
until
you
met
at
the
beach
with
both
with
residents
who
are
disabled,
who
access
the
beach,
as
well
as
with
some
of
the
regular
dog
beach
owners.
I,
just
I,
think
there's
a
lot
of
concern
about
both
of
those
plans.
F
I
guess
I'm
not
entirely
sure
what's
being
asked,
because
this
is
this
is
a
a
very
vague
request.
I
guess
well,.
E
A
So
you
could
move
to
hold
this,
which
would
mean
it
would
come
back
on
the
agenda
in
two
weeks.
You
could
move
to
table
it
to
a
date
certain
which
might
give
more
time.
I
don't
know
if
there's
support
for
that,
but
those
are
those
are
procedurally
in
order,
motions
that
you
can
make
at
this
time.
Okay,.
X
Then
I
think
just
in
in
order
to
allow
time
one
I
guess
one
month,
two
weeks
might
be
short
to
plan
that,
but
I
just
think
it's
so
important
for
the
success
of
the
beach
and
I
mean
there's
a
really
large
elaborate
plans
and
I
think
there
were
some
feelings
and
folks
did
research
to
find
other
ways
that
wouldn't
that
might
be
more
appropriate
for
the
dog
beach
for
Ada
accessibility.
So
I
would
like
to
table
it
for
I
guess
one
month
is
that.
X
To
allow
for
that
community
meeting
at
the
beach
so.
A
X
Sorry,
we
just
I
mean
it's
a
large
chunk
of
money.
These
are
very
elaborate:
accessibility,
Ada.
There
are
ways
to
do
this
less
expensive
for
probably
the
beach
that
has
the
least
attendance
in
terms
of
ADA
that
we're
expecting
I,
just
I
just
think.
We're
really
I
wish.
Somebody
would
second
this
so
that
we
have
the
input
from
community
members
who
access
the
beach,
including
disabled.
There
are
disabled
group
that
go
down
and
enjoy
the
dog
beach
for
their
input,
as
well
as
architects
who
are
involved.
X
I
just
I,
don't
think
we're
proceeding
in
the
best
way
with
the
dog
beach
with
Community
input.
I
think
we
should
be
all
about
Community
input.
This
has
been
such
a
huge
community
space
I.
Just
really
ask
that
we,
because
this
is
a
big
project
that
you're
proposing
in
terms
of
the
Ada
accessibility.
X
A
A
A
U
I'd
like
to
move
item
P3
ordinance,
41023
I
mean
Nintendo
4
building
regulations
and
the
city
code,
striking
chapter
14,
design
and
project
review.
X
A
A
X
A
R
A
Eight
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against
the
motion
carriers
and
the
rules
are
suspended.
I
think
council,
member
Suffern
still
has
the
floor
on
council
member
read
will
be
next
Anchorage
and
I
vote.
Thank
you,
council
member
Reed.
R
I,
just
I
just
want
to
institutionalize
the
memory
that
we
unanimously
voted
to
move
something
for
introduction
and
action
without
it
being
listed
on
the
agenda.
I
just
want
to
highlight
that,
because
I've
this
has
happened
before
and
there
have
been
many
excuses
for
not
being
able
to
do
that.
I
support
this
I
think
that's
an
okay
practice
doesn't
violate
Oma,
but
I've
seen
the
exact
opposite
happen
when
folks
don't
want
something
to
happen,
and
they
so
I'll.
Stick
to
the
issue
here
and
support
this,
but
I
have
to
call
that
out.
A
A
B
A
A
X
So
this
is
an
altogether
new
way
of
we
have
a
big
Surplus
budget,
and
then
we
have
overspending
and
in
the
past
couple
years
and
we've
amended
the
budget
right
before
the
audit
to
adjust
it
for
over
expenditures
of
funds
and
I.
Think
that's
a
much
more
transparent
way
to
do
this
and
then
acknowledge
our
Surplus.
So
now
I
think
you
know
so.
X
I
I
would
much
rather
see
us
proceed
as
we've
done
in
the
past,
where
we
amend
the
budget
where
staff
has
exceeded,
fund
balance,
fund,
approved,
fund
expenditures,
amend
that
and
and
acknowledge
our
Surplus
I.
Think
this
way
by
reducing
our
budget
we've.
Never
before
done
this
in
evanston's
history,
so
I
I,
don't
think
this
is
a
doesn't
feel
very
transparent
to
the
public,
I
think
and
I
think
we
should
proceed
as
we've
done
in
the
past
years.
I
also
have
a
question
regarding
the
opening.
X
Where
it
says
here
that
the
the
amount
is
it's
different,
the
amount
in
the
parentheses-
let's
say
it
says.
X
There's
a
some
conflicting
information
on
this
and
I'll,
find
it
in
just
a
moment,
but
okay,
but
first
yeah
that
that
so
why
the
decision
this
year
to
reduce
last
year's
budget,
rather
than
increase
our
budget
based
on
overspending.
If
you
could
also
State
the
total
amount
of
over
expenditures
from
last
year,.
Y
Good
evening
mayor
members
of
the
city
council-
yes,
you
are
right.
There
too,
we
have
never
reduced
the
budget
for
the
funds
which
haven't
spent
to
their
maximum,
but
if
you
see
the
amount
in
each
of
the
four
categories,
those
were
substantial,
particularly
in
Waterfront,
where
we
spent
15
million
less
because
of
one
Capital
project.
Obviously
it's
carried
forward
to
the
current
year
and
the
other
big
one
was
the
arpa
one
I
reach
out
to
our
Corporation
Council
and
he
said
yeah
there's
nothing
illegal.
Y
Obviously
we
haven't
done
that
we
reach
out
to
our
second
the
Auditors
and
they
say
yep
I,
don't
know
that,
whether
it,
if
you
do
it,
it
would
be
an
illegal,
even
I,
heard
from
Schaumburg
that
yeah
they
reduce
where
they
see
the
substantial
deduction
and
they
would
do
the
reduction
of
the
budget.
Oh
talking
with.
I
Y
Yes,
to
answer
your
question:
we
haven't
done
in
the
history,
but
considering
the
sizable
amount,
we
were
like
four
funds,
resulting
in
almost
like
a
38
million
dollar
reduction
in,
so
we
just
want
to
be
like
more
transparent
and
you
know,
give
the
public
and
the
residents
a
clear
understanding
that
how
the
funds
spend
against
their
budgeted
amount.
Some
of
the
funds
which
have
spent
I
mean.
Obviously
the
description
is
self-evident.
There,
like
SSA
funds
in
there,
where
we
got
more
revenues
and
we
had
to
share
more.
So
obviously,
expenses
went
over
the
budget.
Y
That
was
besides
that
you
would
see
the
explanation
for
supple
difference
where
the
city
council
approved
certain
projects.
For
that,
and
that's
that's
why
it
resulted
in
the
expenses
going
about
the
budgeted
level,
but
overall,
yes,
nothing
kind
of
a
significant
which
would
like
cause
alarm
or
kind
of
raise
a
flag
here.
X
So
what
is
the
so
I
know
I'm
looking
at
last
year,
where
there's
an
overspending
of
11.5
million,
and
so
we
increased
the
budget.
We
amended
it
to
increase
the
previous
year's
budget
the
year
before
that
it
was
a
14.4
million
dollar
exceedance
of
the
approved
budget.
So
again
the
budget
was
amended
right
before
the
audit
to
increase
the
previous
year's
budget.
I
just
don't
see
any
very
serious
variation
from
this
year
from
those
past
two
years.
Why?
Y
Y
Cities,
yes,
I,
would
agree
with
that
minimum
total
I
first
time
started
here
in
2000
since
then,
I
haven't
seen
that,
but
at
the
same
time,
after
kind
of
talking
to
the
have
Auditors
and
the
legal
council,
we
thought
that,
for
the
sake
of
transparency,
considering
the
amount
involved
in
that
fund
or
almost
38
million
dollars
for
Forefront,
where
we
are
reducing
I
thought
it
would
be
a
kind
of
better.
You
know
so.
X
Y
X
X
Foot
yeah,
so,
although
you
don't
have
anything
for
police
and
for
the
last
two
years,
you
do
give
an
explanation.
That's
missing!
Here
the
police
pension
fund,
the
had
about
a
half
a
million
dollars
difference,
that's
not
explained
here.
I
also
have
a
question.
If
you
could
answer
on
page
303,.
X
X
Like
I
said
the
I
see
differences
just
you
know
right
from
the
beginning
there
from
that
number
again
the
explanation
for
the
police
isn't
in
here,
but
it's
in
the
last
two
years
budget
amendment
I,
would
feel
more
comfortable
like
that
number
needs
clarification,
I,
don't
know
which
one
we're
looking
at
if
we
could
hold
this
to
get
these
numbers
looked
at.
Y
X
They
accept
and
I
would
also
prefer
that
this
were
brought
back
with
the
total
amount
of
over
expenditures
that
were
that
were
amending
as
we've
done
in
past
years
and
I
I.
Think
that
is
far
more
transparent.
I
think
the
public
should
know
how
much
has
been
has
been
spent
over
the
approved
public
budget
that
we
all
agreed
to
and
what
are
surpluses.
X
Y
Y
Yes,
definitely
we
can
correct
if
before
the
Silicon
should
pass,
is
the
exact
number
of
the
increase.
But
again
the
overall
number
is
correct.
Y
Overall
number
of
34
million
is
the
correct
number
that
that
is
the
net
effect
in
the
budget
from
360
million.
So
that's
the
kind
of
number
we
are
using
in
the
ordinance.
But
again
yes,
I
can
provide
the
right
number.
Y
A
X
M
A
Was
seven
voting
in
favor
and
one
vote
against
the
motion
carries
an
item
is
passed
it'll
be
back
on
the

for
action
on
May
8th.
That
concludes
our
consent

brings
us
