B
I
am
alderman
fleming.
C
C
B
Here,
yes,
alderman
braithwaite,
yes
alderman
here
alderman
wilson,
here
alderman
ruth
simmons.
D
C
A
All
right,
wonderful!
Thank
you!
Thank
you,
city
clerk.
We
have
a
quorum.
We
have
all
nine
evanston
city
council
members
here,
and
this
is
for
the
monday
november,
9th
2020,
evanston
city
council,
meeting
first
item
of
business
is
going
to
be
the
suspension
of
the
rules
to
allow
for
remote
participation.
I'm
going
to
ask
alderman
wilson
to
move
this
motion.
E
I
move
that
we
suspend
the
rules
to
allow
us
to
conduct
meeting
utilizing
the
zoom
remote
conferencing
software
in
lieu
of
an
in-person
meeting
in
accordance
with
the
governor's
prior
directives
related
to
the
code
19
pandemic.
Is
there
a
second.
C
A
A
All
right
on
a
9-0
vote,
the
evanston
city
council
voted
to
suspend
the
rules
to
allow
for
remote
participation.
That's
because
the
pandemic
of
covet
19
is
still
going
on
and
and
it's
not
safe
for
us
all,
to
be
close
together
in
the
sa
in
the
same
room.
So
that
passes
on
the
nine
to
zero
vote.
A
A
Read
a
bit
of
a
description
here:
the
evanston
city
council
is
conducting
a
public
hearing
on
the
2020
property
tax
levy.
The
purpose
of
this
hearing
is
to
allow
for
public
input
on
the
proposed
levy.
There
will
be
no
final
action
on
the
tax
levy.
Today
I
hereby
convene
the
hearing
for
the
2020
property
tax
levy
to
be
open.
A
The
2020
proposed
tax
levy
was
included
in
the
2021
proposed
budget
and
can
be
found
at
www
of
forward
slash
budget.
An
updated
proposed
tax
levy
is
included
in
the
city
council
packet
for
the
november
9th
2020
meeting,
and
that
is
this
meeting
any
discussion
for
this
public
hearing
for
the
2020
tax
levy.
Ordinances
are
on
the
agenda
for
discussion
later
in
the
meeting
today.
A
I'm
now
going
to
open
this
up
to
any
public
comments.
Luke
do
we
have
anyone
that
has
signed
up
for
public
comment
on
the
tax
levy
hearing
tonight.
H
Sure
the
first
one
is
mike
fasoco,
okay,
and
they
gave
me
the
next
one:
sean
pacquiao,
okay
and
jamie
robin
collier
all
right.
Thank
you.
A
I
Thank
you.
First
of
all,
I
take
issue
with
you
know,
with
how
this
public
hearing
was
was
noticed
to
everyone,
because
it
wasn't
notice
to
everyone.
You
know
aldermen
had
not
made
mention
of
it
of
this
hearing
in
their
award
meetings
there
were
websites
or
other
public
announcements.
I
There
was
up
until
I
think
late
this
afternoon.
There
was
no
public
com
comment,
sign
up
for
the
truth
and
taxation
hearing,
and
I
was
the
one
that
wrote
to
the
city
about
the
fact
that
there
was
no
listing
to
sign
up
for
it
and
there
was
no
mention
of
it
on
the
city
calendar.
I
mean
you
have
to
go
to
this.
I
You
know
you
have
to
go
through
all
a
lot
of
steps
to
be
notified
about
this
and
yes,
there
was
some
newspaper
printing
of
it.
I
guess,
but
once
again
your
the
city
isn't
making
any
strong
efforts
to
get
people
involved
in
this
process,
and
that
is
just
typical
of
what's
happening.
I
Aldon
sufferman,
you
know
to
be
commended
as
several
weeks
ago,
at
a
council
meeting
he's
the
one
who
said:
why
do
we
have
to
have
a
tax
increase?
The
only
one
who
said
that
we
took.
I
I
I
mean
there's
550
000
of
an
increase
in
the
human
services
fund,
which
is
being
driven
by
a
transfer
of
staff
from
the
general
fund,
so
that
increase
is
effectively
what
this
tax
is
paying
for
a
library
you
know
they're
holding
their
property
tax
level
flat,
which
is
a
good
thing,
but
they're
they're,
they're
tax
levy
should
be
reduced
because
we've
closed
branches
and
many
of
the
libraries
I
mean
really
even
can't
be
used,
especially
the
one
in
crown
hall
crown
center.
I
There's
mistakes
in
the
budget
in
the
human
in
the
services
and
supplies
section
of
the
of
the
general
fund.
I
I
Basically,
creating
these
little
pockets
of
money
to
keep
staff
salaries
and
staff
counts,
as
is
you
know,
don't
change
the
status
quo?
Don't
don't
effectively
be
forced
to
reduce
staff
or
to
be
to
reduce
their
salaries
or
to
reduce
their
benefits?
I
It's
all
about
protecting
the
staff
costs
here,
we're
struggling
and
and
then
there's
13
new
positions
being
advertised
for
the
city,
many
full-time
positions
and
some
part-time
positions
of
all
things
for
the
library
of
all
things
for
a
lot
for
the
library,
some
for
health
and
human
services,
which
could
be
legit
but
again
you're,
adding
staff
by
moving
them
from
the
general
fund.
I
So
it's
it's.
You
know,
forgive
the
expression.
I
It's
kind
of
a
shell
game,
you're
just
moving
from
one
area
to
another
you're,
not
really.
The
staff
is
not
really
being
cut
and
they
should
be
robert
crown
one
of
my
favorite
subjects.
As
you
know,
we're
bleeding
money
at
robert
crown.
You
can
say
you
can
blame
it
on
covid,
but
regardless
that
project
was
never
meant
to
make
even.
J
I
Even
on
its
its
annual
revenues
and
expenses,
but
now
we're
bleeding
1.6
million
dollars,
as
I
understand
it
for
for.
I
Year
to
date,
so
we've
got
eight.
We've
got
735
positions
in
the
city.
It
seems
like
that's
more
than
needed
for
city
our
size
and
bottom
line.
Is
the
taxation
isn't
needed
because
we're
not
really
cutting
where
we
need
to
cut?
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you
mike
next
speaker
is
sean
peck
collier.
J
Thank
you
first,
I
should
probably
bring
up.
It
does
not
appear
as
though
this
zoom
call
is
being
recorded
anyway,
good
evening,
alder.
Folks.
First,
I
I
think
our
city
staff
should
be
commended
for
bringing
a
reduction
in
the
tax
liability
to
4.9
from
from
its
original
original
points,
but
based
on
what
we
see
in
the
budget,
and
there
can
be
more
than
we
can
do
to
eliminate
this
levy.
J
J
So
the
city's
final
2019
budget
for
police,
regular
pay
was
16,
sorry,
19.6
million,
but
only
19.1
million
was
actually
spent.
This
is
a
a
hiring
lag
difference
of
half
a
million
that
should
be
reflected
in
the
the
2021
budget.
J
J
J
Finally,
the
police
department
shares
their
ongoing
activity
measurements
in
our
budget.
Our
proposed
budget,
where
they
report
that
evanston
crime
has
dropped
this
year,
we're
estimating
a
20
drop
in
calls
for
service
and
a
30
drop
in
total
arrests.
J
Isn't
this
a
good
time
to
look
into
reducing
the
police
budget
more
aggressively
to
better
reflect
our
low
arrest
rates
and
comparatively
lower
crime?
So
many
people
are
financially
struggling
and
forced
to
tighten
their
belts
in
order
to
survive
based
on
this
budget?
We
can
do
more
of
that
too.
Instead
of
placing
an
increased
tax
burden
on
our
neighbors
to
accrue
funds
that
we
know
we
aren't
going
to
spend
this,
the
city's
budget
is
a
core
statement
of
its
financial
and
public
service
priorities.
A
L
Thank
you,
mayor
and
older
folk.
May
I
do
a
screen
share
to
place
a
document
in,
in
your
view,.
A
Let
me
just
check
with
our
technology
people.
I
don't
know
if
we,
if
we
have
a
rule
on
this
or
we
don't
do
this.
A
With
that
go
ahead
and
okay
yeah.
K
L
L
A
All
right,
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
all
all
the
speakers
tonight
who
you
know
spent
time
and
went
through
our
budget
and
offered
these
suggestions.
I
know
the
council.
H
Appreciates
that
mayor,
I
think
betty
betty
esther
wanted
to
speak
also
during
this
period
of
physics,
okay,.
A
We'll
go
ahead
and
yeah
allow
miss
esther
to
speak.
M
I
had
also
signed
up
to
speak.
I'm
not
sure
why
I
wasn't
on
the
list.
G
M
G
H
N
Good
evening,
like
the
speaker
like
mike,
had
said
it
wasn't,
I
didn't
see
and
was
kind
of
confusing
where
you
signed
up
for
the
truth
in
taxation.
There
wasn't
really
a
separate
sheet
place
so
in
indicating
that
wanted
to
speak
of
p1
would
put
me
there,
but
it
didn't.
I
in
looking
at
the
budget
and
most
of
the
departments
and
stuff
we
look
at
what
they
have
and
it
talks
about.
N
We
have
vacancy
that
we're
going
to
put
on
hold
and
for
those
they
can
see.
You
have
money
you
hold
for
that
person
if
you
hired
them.
Looking
at
some
of
the
budget,
those
vacancies
have
been
there
for
two
years
and
been
on,
but
why
are
we
holding
vacancies
for
position
and
it's
been
two
years
and
no
hiring
for
those
positions
and
not
just
eliminating
those
positions,
and
what
I'm
going
to
speak
of
is
the
police
department
that
they
have
been
on
toll?
N
The
other
thing
that
I
was
surprised
to
see
that
you
are
eliminating
the
person
that
posts
the
information
in
the
police
department,
and
I
guess
that
is
the
person
that
would
post
information
to
the
dashboard.
Why
would
you
be
eliminating
a
person
that
posts
information
to
the
dashboard
when
your
dashboard
is
so
incorrect?
N
How
are
you
going
to
correct
that
information
if
you
don't
have
a
person
that
is
putting
it
in?
We
have
been
told
here
at
the
citizen
network
of
protection
for
two
years
that
that
was
going
to
be
fixed
and
as
of
to
date,
it's
not
fixed
so,
but
yet
and
still
you're
going
to
be
eliminating
the
person
that
I
guess
was
supposed
to
have
been
putting
the
information
in
instead
of
working
with
her
or
him
to
get
it
right,
eliminating
the
position
that
doesn't
make
any
sense.
N
A
I
thank
you,
miss
esther
and
eric
I'm
sure
you
and
hitesh
are
doing
this,
but
if
we
can
just
take
note
of
some
of
these
comments
from
folks
and
when
you
do,
the
budget
presentation
tonight
address
some
of
these
issues
that
are
raised.
That
would
be
appreciated.
M
Thank
you,
so
I
I
maybe
this
was
better
for
council,
but
I
think
it
applies
to
to
both.
I
don't
even
want
me
to
start
my
video
here.
M
I've
I've
talked
to
nearly
a
thousand
people
residents
of
evanston
in
the
past
few
weeks,
and
there
were
so
many
comments
about
what
their
concerns
are.
But
increasing
taxes
is
such
a
huge
concern
to
so
many
residents-
and
I
know
you
know
sometimes
you
guys
are
so
entrenched
in
the
jobs
that
you're
doing
that.
I
don't
know
how
much
you're
out
talking
to
the
people
anymore,
but
I
can
tell
you
nobody
is
asking
for
their
taxes
to
be
raised
and
many
people
are
worried
about
being
able
to
stay
in
town.
M
I've
been
speaking
with
some
of
the
women
from
the
group,
evanston
fight
for
black
lives
and
they've
they've,
really
put
some
real
effort
into
presenting
a
proposal
to
you
very
detailed,
with
a
lot
of
really
great
input,
some
of
the
places
that
the
police
budget
might
be
reduced
and
it's
sort
of
like
what
I've
seen
on
so
many
issues
in
town,
where
they're,
just
sort
of
summarily
rejected
or
ignored,
and
these
young
women
have
really
done
an
excellent
job
at
really
detailing
where
they
think
some
of
this
money
could
be
better
allocated,
including
that
the
police
budget
is
so
much
higher
than
social
services
in
evanston
and
that
there
are
places
to
support
low-income
black
and
brown
families
in
evanston.
M
It's
a
shame
that
people
like
kevin
brown
was
fired
or
the
success
of
his
program
was
cut.
Money
needs
to
be
reallocated.
I
think
defund
is
a
terrible
name,
I'm
in
the
business
of
public
relations
and
marketing.
I
think
it's
a
bad
word,
but
reallocated
and
put
back
into
the
community
as
we
reevaluate
the
necessities
of
the
police
force.
M
M
M
How
how
and
why
did
we
justify
that,
while
at
the
same
time
raising
taxes
of
the
people
who
are
probably
the
most
disaffected
by
this?
So
those
are
some
of
my
concerns
and
I
hope
that
you'll
take
them
into
consideration
tonight.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
anyone
else
that
wants
to
speak
at
this
tax
levy,
public
hearing.
A
Portion
here,
okay,
so
so
hearing
nothing
further.
I
hereby
adjourn
this
meeting,
so
the
truth
and
taxation
hearing
has
now
been
adjourned.
We're
now
gonna
move
back
to
our
agenda.
First
up,
we've
got
mayor
announcements.
First,
I
would
like
to
thank
our
president-elect
biden
and
vice
president-elect
harris
on
on
their
accomplishment,
the
other,
the
other.
A
Well,
I
guess
it
took
a
while
for
us
to
to
learn
to
learn
about
it,
but
I
know
that
there
was
there's
a
lot
of
people
in
our
own
community
and
elsewhere.
That
are
happy.
However,
you
voted
the
fact
that
you
came
out
and
voted.
Thank
you
thank
you
to
all
of
those
in
our
community
and
surrounding
area
who
participated
vigorously
in
the
election,
whether
it
was
for
presidential
candidates
or
other
candidates
running
for
state
or
federal
office.
A
There
was
a
lot
of
hard
work
that
was
done
by
a
lot
of
people.
So
thank
thank
you
for
that.
So
you
know,
elections
matter,
leadership,
matters
and,
on
that
front,
a
story
that
hasn't
really
been
the
headlines
of
the
of
the
newspapers
in
the
last
week,
but
would
have
been
had
we
not
gone
through
a
national
election
is
the
fact
that
we've
had
five
consecutive
days
now
of
over
a
hundred
thousand
cases
of
covet
19
in
the
country.
A
It
is
rising
quickly
in
a
lot
of
different
states,
including
our
own.
Here
in
illinois,
we
had
just
a
day
or
two
ago
over
12
000
cases
in
illinois,
as
I've
said
before,
we're
not
immune
to
that
here
in
evanston
we
have
had
our
highest
number
of
cases
here
in
evanston
of
30.
A
We
had
29
today
and-
and
it's
not
going
to
subside
anytime
soon
according
to
the
public
health
expert.
So
I
can't
stress
enough
that
we
all
need
to
continue
to
follow
the
protocols
that
our
public
health
officials
are
putting
out
there
again.
We
are
going
to
make
decisions
based
on
facts
and
data
and
science
and
public
health
experts
and
and
that
data
is
clear.
We
need
to
wear
masks
if
you
are
inside
you
need
with
other
people.
You
need
to
be
wearing
a
mask
outside
of
your
outside
of
your
family.
A
If
you
are
anywhere,
you
need
to
make
sure
that
you
are
socially
distancing
if
you
can
be
outside
be
outside.
We
know
that
is
safer
and
the
transmission
rate
is
is
less
to
give
you
a
quick
sense
of
where
we
are
here
in
evanston
our
seven
day,
positivity
rate
is
3.51
considerably
higher
than
what
it
was
this
summer
when
we
were
between
one
and
one
and
a
half
percent.
A
When
I
spoke
probably
two
weeks
ago,
we
were
a
little
over
two
percent
and
now
we're
at
3.5
percent
relative
again
to
the
state
to
cook
county
to
chicago.
We
continue
to
do
well
here
in
evanston,
but
we
are
not
immune
to
having
these
rates
go
up,
because
the
positivity
rate
in
region
10,
which
is
our
suburban
cook
county
region,
is
now
at
12.2
percent.
A
Is
that
positivity
rate
at
that
regional
level
again
we're
at
3.51
percent
here
in
evanston,
but
the
larger
region
is
at
12.2
tier
one
mitigation
measures
have
been
put
in
place.
We
announced
that
at
a
prior
meeting,
and
that
was
the
mitigation
measures.
That
said,
there's
not
going
to
be
any
more
indoor
dining
in
restaurants,
which
is
really
hard
for
a
restaurant.
So
please
do
take
out
or
dine
out
at
our
restaurants
here
to
help
them
and
it
also
reduced
the
size
of
gatherings
from
50
people
to
25
people.
A
If
we
continue
to
go
in
the
direction
that
we're
heading
in
we're
going
to
move
to
additional
restrictions
in
mitigation
measures-
and
I
want
people
to
understand
what
that
next
tier
is
for
those
restrictions,
one
would
be
reducing
party
sizes
from
10
to
six
people.
So
if
you're
going
out
to
a
restaurant,
it's
gonna,
that's
what
will
happen
I'll
go
from
10
to
six.
The
maximum
indoor
outdoor
gathering
will
drop
from
25
to
10,
organized
group,
recreational
and
gym
in
gyms,
limited
to
lesser
of
25
people
or
25
capacity.
A
You
can
have
that
if
these
new
restrictions
go
into
place,
it
will
limit
groups
to
10
or
fewer
that
won't
apply,
I'm
told
to
fit
to
fitness
centers,
so
this
is
not
has
not
gone
into
effect
yet,
but
given
the
trend
of
where
things
are
going,
don't
be
surprised
if
a
week
or
two
from
now
the
governor
doesn't
take
additional
measures
and
move
us
to
a
tier
two
right
now,
we're
in
tier
one
combating
the
resurgence
in
evanston.
We
have
a
little
less
than
seven
we've
done.
A
These
aren't
active
cumulative
cases,
since
the
beginning
is
a
little
less
than
1700
cases
of
covet
19
in
our
community.
Our
seven
day,
moving
average
is
now
about
24
cases,
which
would
be
our
highest
since
the
outbreak
of
the
pandemic.
In
the
spring,
the
illinois,
seven-day
positivity
rate,
is
11.4
percent.
A
Our
region
we
have
had
10
straight
days
of
positivity
increases
I
mentioned
earlier,
is
12.2
percent.
We
have
had
nine
straight
days
of
hospital
admission
increases.
A
A
So
it
is
not
looking
good
right
now
on
the
pandemic
front,
now
more
than
ever,
we
need
to
be
wearing
masks.
We
need
to
be
taking
all
of
the
precautions
that
our
public
health
officials
are
telling
us.
So
if
you're
listening
to
this
talk
to
your
family
about
this,
the
number
of
cases
of
young
people
continue
to
increase
at
a
more
rapid
rate
than
we're
seeing
among
other
age
groups
in
in
the
community.
A
If
we
took
northwestern
university
numbers
and
set
them
aside,
we
would
still
be
having
a
large
increase
in
the
numbers
here
in
evanston,
so
it
is
community
spread.
That
is
that
is
happening
here.
So
that's
where
we
stand
with
the
pandemic.
It's
been
a
while,
since
I
reported
out
on
that,
so
I
wanted
to
take
a
minute
to
do
that.
A
Lastly,
I
have
two
proclamations
that
I
wanted
to
to
issue
this
month.
The
first
one
is
evanston
native
american
heritage
month,
which
is
the
month
of
november,
and-
and
I
want
to-
I
want
to
read
this
as
we
all
know,
we
live
in
in
on
the
land
of
the
pottawatomie
in
other
tribes,
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
recognize
that.
A
So,
whereas
the
evanson
community
sits
on
the
ancestral
lands
of
the
three
fires:
council,
ojibwe,
ottawa
and
potawatomi
in
various
tribes,
which
utilize
the
region
seasonally
for
substance,
subsistence
living
and
whereas
northwestern
university
seeks
to
partner
with
organizations
through
research
that
serve
native
and
indigenous
people
of
evanston
and
beyond.
And
whereas
community
institutions
like
the
mitchell
museum
of
the
american
indian,
which
is
a
member
of
the
chicago
american
indian
community,
collaborative
continue
to
work,
to
preserve
and
promote
indigenous
voices
within
evanston
and
across
the
nation.
A
Now,
therefore,
I
stephen
howard
haggerty,
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
evanston
illinois,
do
hereby
proclaim
november
20th
as
evanston
native
american
heritage
month
and
call
upon
the
people
of
evanston
to
join
together
in
recognizing
and
participating
in
this
special
observance.
There
are
activities
this
month
related
to
native
american
his
heritage
month.
If
you
wanted
to
learn
more
I'd,
suggest
you
go
to
the
mitchell
museum
of
american
indian
and
they
have
information
about
some
of
the
activities
this
month.
A
A
O
I
you
know,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
we
do.
We
will
have
I'm
sorry.
I
should
start
my
video.
We
will
have
information
about
our
activities
listed
on
our
website
and
we
will
also
be
sending
out
if
you're,
not
on
our
email
list.
You
can
call
the
museum
and
be
asked
to
be
added
to
our
email
list
and
we
have
the
announcements
also
on
facebook
and
we
also
send
out
announcements
via
email
as
well.
O
I
had
signed
up
for
the
comment
section,
but
I
I
could
say
that
very
quickly
now
we're
away
till
later.
I
just
wanted
to
basically
say
thank
you
to
the
city.
You.
O
O
I
reside
in
the
ninth
ward,
and
I
am
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
mitchell
museum
museum
staff
board
and
volunteers
would
like
to
commend
the
city
of
evanston
for
presenting
our
park
proclamation
that
the
city,
I'm
sorry,
we'd
like
to
commend
the
city
of
edmonson
for
presenting
our
proclamation
for
native
american
heritage
month
and
to
acknowledge
that
we
are
very
grateful
to
be
a
proud
partner
with
the
city.
A
Great,
thank
you
thank
you,
jan,
and
for
those
of
you
that
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
go
to
the
mitchell
museum.
It's
pretty.
It's
pretty
amazing
and
there's
so
much
history
there
to
learn
about
native
americans.
You
know
long
long
before
we
took
this.
You
know
we
took
this
land
and
it's
it's
a
really
rich
museum.
So
if
you
have
the
opportunity,
I
strongly
suggest
going
there.
Thank.
A
You
you
bet,
we
have
one
more
proclamation
in
recognition
tonight
and
that
is
for
the
rotary
club
of
evanston,
who
is
celebrating
100
years
of
service.
So
everyone
knows
that
we
have
rotary
international
headquartered
here.
If
you
don't
it's
good
to
know
that
we
are
blessed
to
have
rotary
here
with
something
like
1.3
million
rotarians
around
the
world.
We
are
blessed
to
have
two
clubs
in
our
own
community
and
the
rotary
club
of
evanston
is
celebrating
100
years
of
service.
A
So,
whereas
the
rotary
club
of
evanston
was
founded
on
may
1st
1920
as
part
of
the
global
organization,
rotary
international,
which
includes
more
than
one
million
members
worldwide
and
whereas
rotary
brings
together
local
leaders
to
provide
volunteer
humanitarian
services,
encourage
high
ethical
standards
and
help
promote
goodwill
and
peace
and
whereas,
over
the
last
century,
the
rotary
club
of
evanston
has
become
one
of
evanson's,
leading
charitable
and
service
organizations
guided
by
rotary's
motto
of
service
above
self
and
whereas
the
rotary
club
of
evanston
has
provided
countless
hours
of
volunteer
service
and
contributed
generous
funding
for
initiatives
that
have
demonstrably
improved
the
city
of
evanston
and
whereas
the
rotary
club
of
evanston
has
also
contributed
significantly
to
rotary's
global
humanitarian
projects,
including
the
unprecedented
effort
to
eradicate
polio
in
every
country
in
the
world.
A
A
Q
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
erica,
storley
city
manager.
This
evening
we
have
one
city
manager
announcement
and
we're
going
to
give
an
update
to
the
community
on
our
winter
preparedness
and
the
changes
that
went
into
that
are
going
into
effect
this
winter,
as
it
relates
to
snow,
shoveling
and
other
activities.
So
tonight,
edgar
cano
from
the
public
works
agency
and
johanna
knighton
from
the
community
development
department
will
be
giving
an
update
on
that.
R
All
right,
thank
you
very
much
city
manager,
storyline
good
evening,
mayor
hannity,
members
of
the
council
cleric
reed,
I'm
edgar
cano
public
services.
Bureau
chief
just
want
to
take
a
couple
minutes
right
now
to
talk
about
this
upcoming
winter.
You
know
it's
on
its
way.
Don't
let
these
warm
temperatures
fool
you!
It's
definitely
just
right
around
the
corner.
The
city
is
doing
everything
that
we
can
right
now
to
prepare
for
it.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
residents
are
preparing
for
it
as
well.
R
F
P
H
I
think
it's
the
device
that
you're
using
we
could
try
and
play
a
little
bit
later.
R
And
it
was
a
great
time
making
it
as
well,
but
I'll
just
talk
talk
on
some
key
points
from
the
video
number
one.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
property
owners
are
keeping
their
sidewalks
clear
from
snow
and
ice
after
any
type
of
accumulation
previously
was
after
four
inches
of
accumulation.
Now
we're
asking
it
be
done
after
any
accumulation
of
snow
and
or
ice.
This
also
includes
curb
ramps
if
your
property
is
adjacent
to
those
curb
ramps,
those
are
the
ramps
leading
from
the
street
onto
the
sidewalk.
R
R
Another
point
to
make
is:
please:
we
ask
to
not
push
any
snow
from
private
property
onto
public
streets,
sidewalks
alleys
or
parking
lots.
This
becomes
a
hazard
not
only
to
the
drivers
but
to
the
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
as
well,
especially
during
the
those
of
free
stall
cycles
that
regularly
occur.
R
We
are
encouraging
everyone
to
sign
up
for
snow
alerts.
You
can
sign
up
by
contacting
311
there.
You
can
be
notified
of
parking
restrictions
and
just
general
city
operations,
anything
that's
going
on
with
the
city,
it's
very
useful
tool.
I
use
it
all
the
time
and
it
works
great,
also
contact
311
if
you're
looking
for
any
snow,
shoveling
assistance
or
if
you
want
to
volunteer
to
be
one
of
the
people
that
actually
helped
shovel
those
those
sidewalks
that
would
help
as
well
as
far
as
forecasts
go
right.
R
Now
we're
projecting
40
to
42
inches
of
snow
for
the
season
average
for
our
area
is
about
36
inches
and
just
to
compare.
Last
year
we
got
just
under
30
inches
of
snow.
As
far
as
temperatures
go,
they
are
saying
november
december,
slightly
above
average,
as
we've
been
seeing,
but
come
january,
the
temperatures
are
going
to
drop
and
they're
going
to
stay
down
below
average,
all
the
way
through
april.
R
So
you
know
we're
not
expecting
this
to
be
an
easy
winner.
There's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
challenges,
especially
due
to
kovid
kovac
brings
a
lot
a
lot
of
unknowns,
but
we
don't
know.
If
there's
going
to
be
staff
shortages,
will
there
be
material
shortages,
but
we
just
have
to
prepare
for
everything
and
do
the
best
that
we
can.
One
of
the
things
we
are
expecting
is
more
parked
cars
on
the
street
due
to
people
working
from
home.
You
know
that
means
difficulty
to
operations.
It
could
be
harder
to
plow.
R
So
that's
why
we're
asking
residents
to
please
comply
with
the
parking
restrictions
again
sign
up
to
alerts
through
3-1-1.
That
way,
you
know
we're
able
to
plow
curb
to
occur.
You
know
when
times
are
no
parking
restrictions.
We
still
ask
you
to
park
close
to
the
curb
as
possible.
That
way,
we
can
make
sure
to
get
down
the
street
and
service
every
street
possible
out
there
with
people
staying
home.
That
means
less
traffic
on
the
road.
A
lot
of
municipalities
are
seeing
that
as
a
plus,
you
know,
but
there's
pros
and
cons
to
everything.
R
Less
traffic
on
the
road
usually
means
higher
speeds,
higher
speeds
with
snow
and
ice.
That's
not
a
good
combination,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
be
mindful
of
that,
especially
our
plow
drivers,
and
we
have
to
prepare
for
that.
Less
traffic
also
means
less
vehicle
and
wheels
working
our
material
into
the
pavement,
helping
that
salt
turn
to
brine
and
carrying
that
salt
down
as
they're
going
down
the
road
but
we're
preparing
for
it
we're
looking
to
additional
support.
Well,
the
works
agency
has
reached
out
to
other
divisions
and
departments
within
the
city.
R
Well,
we've
had
a
lot
of
volunteers
right
now
from
facilities
and
parts
of
iraq.
It's
been
very
helpful.
We're
also
you
know,
looking
to
our
neighbors
surrounding
communities,
how
we
can
help
each
other
out.
This
is
the
time
somebody's
gonna
have
an
emergency
and
we
need
to
step
up
and
do
what
we
can
to
make
sure
we
keep
those
roads
safe.
R
We
also
introduced
additional
training
this
year
to
help,
in
case
of
an
emergency,
we're
making
sure
that
all
employees
are
cross-trained
on
every
piece
of
equipment
so
that
they
can
become
familiar
with
that
equipment
and
jump
in
it
at
a
moment's
notice
and
it's
fun.
I
actually
had
a
lot
of
fun
learning
to
operate
some
of
those
machines
myself
so,
but
that's
all
that
I
have
for
right
now.
I
don't
know
if
we
have
the
video
back
up
or
not,
but
I'll
be
more
than
happy
to
take
any
questions
you
may
have.
S
Edgar,
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work.
I
think
you
do
a
great
job.
I
have
a
question
about
going
forward,
especially
with
parking
during
snow
removal
and
snow
storms
as
you
ride
around,
and
I
I'm
I'm
assuming
the
worst
during
the
winter
that
kova's
not
going
to
subside.
S
You
see
a
lot
of
parking
lots
that
are
very
empty
and
I
am
wondering
if
we
can
ask
economic
development
to
reach
out
starting
now
to
make
plans
with
especially
the
schools,
schools
and
and
corporate
parking
lots.
Retail
parking
lots.
Can
we
use
those
without
asking
as
the
snow
was?
You
know,
totaling
three
inches
at
the
time
of
the
of
the
snowfall?
S
S
I
think
we
should
make
plans
ahead
of
time
because
you
know
with
everybody
home,
especially
in
neighborhoods,
like
in
the
third
ward
and
my
ward,
where
there
are
multi-family
buildings,
there's
no
place
to
put
your
car.
You
know
on
on
snow
removal
days,
there's
just
no
place
to
put
them.
What
do.
R
You
think
I
think,
that's
a
great
point.
No
definitely
is,
I
know
we're
going
to
be
working
with
parking
get
mike
rivera's.
Take
on
that,
as
well
as
work
with
with
them
to
possibly
open
up
any
parking
garages
during
snow
emergencies.
So
we're
going
to
be
meeting
as
a
group
to
decide
what's
the
the
best
paths
to
take,
but
that's
great
ideas
reaching
out
to
schools
and
other
corporate
lots,
as
you
mentioned,
we'll
definitely
make
note
of
that.
S
I
I'm
talking
about
the
surface
lots
I
mean
we
can
we're
not
talking
about
city
lots
but
surface,
because
city
lots
are
all
leased
up.
We
know
that,
but
the
circulates
like
at
the
schools
levy
center
is
empty.
Robert
robert
crown
probably
won't
be,
but
james
park
lot
is
empty.
Church
slots
are
probably
empty.
R
Q
Thank
you
edgar.
I
I'm
gonna
take
one
one
final:
try
on
sharing
this
video
because.
Q
S
X
Clear
snow
from
around
your
trash
and
recycling
containers
so
that
we
can
access
them
empty
them
and
stay
on
schedule,
adopt
the
fire
hydrant
and
keep
it
clear
of
snow
so
that
behind
it
and
access
a
quickly
in
case
of
an
emergency
sign
up
for
email
or
text,
message,
parking
notifications
and
we'll
notify
you.
When
it's
time
to
move
your
vehicle
snow
parking
restrictions
go
into
effect
after
two
and
four
inches
of
snowfall
to
allow
plows
to
clear
our
streets.
R
A
B
Jan
saved
me
a
bit
of
trouble
in
by
giving
her
public
comments
already.
So
I
don't
have
to.
I
was
hoping
that
you
pronounced
the
word
ojibwe
or
whatever
the
one
of
the
tribes
that
was
listed
in
her
comment,
but
I
do
not
have
to
read
that
maybe
I'll
learn
the
pronunciation
at
some
other
point,
but.
K
B
Have
a
few
quick
announcements,
I'm
going
to
do
a
quick
screen
share
here.
B
But
as
we
know,
we
had
an
election
that
just
passed
as
mayor
haggerty
as
mayor
haggerty
announced
earlier,
and
we
know
the
results
there
nationally.
There
we
go.
K
K
B
Winners
of
that
election
here
we
go
now.
My
screen
should
be
shared,
I'm
going
to
give
a
very
quick
snapshot
of
the
snapshot.
This
is
a
presentation
we
typically
give
after
elections.
Some
of
the
data
was
just
released
today.
So
folks,
as
of
about
a
few
hours
ago,
you
can
go
to
the
cook
county
clerk's
website
and
see
a
lot
of
the
information
on
election
day
disaggregated
by
municipality
and
awarded
by
precinct,
so
we'll
give
that
full
presentation
next
week.
B
But
there
is
some
data
that
I
want
to
get
out
just
now.
Briefly,
we
have
54
237
registered
voters
in
evanston.
That
is
actually
up
just
from
march.
If
you
recall
the
presentation
for
march,
we
had
50
000
registered
voters
in
march,
so
we've
increased
by
over
4
000
voters
in
just
this
few
months.
B
So
we're
happy
about
that.
So
I'm
sure
the
league
of
women
voters
and
just
the
national
election
and
of
itself
had
and
naacp
had
a
role
to
play
in
that,
so
we
had
about
30
000
folks
turn
out
overall,
but
for
the
folks
who
didn't
vote
on
election
day.
This
is
the
breakdown,
so
we
saw
64
percent
of
evanstonians
vote
by
mail.
That's
what
an
absentee
voter
is
which
is
on
par
with.
B
You
know
where
the
national
numbers
were
and
where
you
know
where
democratic
city,
where
how
democrats
were
voting
the
2.4
percent
for
grace
period.
Voters
represents
folks
who
voted
on
election
day,
but
maybe
were
not
registered
or
had
an
issue
with
their
mail
invalid
and
you
know,
received
a
provisional
ballot
and
then
early
voting
represented
35
of
the
votes
cast
and
then
the
rest
was
election.
B
Non-Election
day,
voter
types
and
and
of
the
folks
who
voted
by
mail,
we
actually
did
quite
well
in
this
election.
We
only
had,
according
to
the
county's
data,
that's
not
available
online.
B
We
had
21
rejected
ballots
from
absentee
voters
that
is
phenomenal
and
of
those
21
rejected
ballots,
and
we
also
know
exactly
who
had
a
rejected
ballot,
and
I
plan
to
have
the
clerk's
office
reach
out
to
those
21
individuals
and
let
them
know
why
their
ballot
was
rejected.
If
they
don't
already
know
so,
we
can
avoid
so
again
100
of
our
absentee
ballots
accepted
in
the
future.
But
you
know
one
was
for
a
ballot
or
an
envelope
that
was
not
signed.
B
The
folks,
the
poll
poll
workers
and
myself
were
very
adamant
about
making
sure
that
folks
signed
before
you
dropped
off
at
a
at
the
mail
at
the
dropbox
here
in
evanston
and
then
so.
The
rest
of
them
were
of
the
other.
The
remaining
20
were
because
the
signature
did
not
match
the
ballot
they're,
the
signature
that
was
on
file
with
the
county
and
most
of
those
came
in
in
the
last
few
days.
So
I'm
concerned
about
that.
B
But
we'll
check
into
those
and
see
what
this
issue
was
there.
As
for
early
voting
sites,
we
know
that
the
evanston
pacific
center
of
the
evanston
voters
who
early
voted
86
percent
of
them
voted
at
the
edmondson
civic
center
stokey
court
house.
That
was
the
next
most
popular
location,
followed
by
wilmette
centennial
rinks,
as
well
as
I
believe,
69
west
washington
was
another
site
that
folks
voted
at.
But
you
know
evanston.
Civic
center
is
the
popular
location,
the
fair
tax.
B
It
got
76
percent
of
votes
in
evanston
and
in
the
presidential
election
the
prevailing
party.
The
democrats,
joe
biden,
received
90
of
evanston's
votes,
but
you
know,
surprisingly,
we
had
less
folks
vote
in
this
election
than
in
2016..
B
B
So
we'll
have
a
more
full
report
on
that
in
the
coming
weeks.
As
the
data
is
more
available
and
we
have
time
to
go
through
it,
the
county
has
had
as
we
all
are
having
you
know,
issues
with
covet
and
staffing,
and
so
data
is
normally
up
the
day
after
election
day,
and
you
know
it's
now
a
week
later
roughly
and
it's
just
going
up
a
few
hours
ago.
B
B
I'm
not
gonna
give
the
same
thing
I
gave
last
week,
but
I'm
going
to
use
this
to
talk
about
a
few
things
for
filing,
as,
as
we
know
filing
for
the
municipal
elections,
the
filing
period
begins
next
week
on
on
monday,
you
can
folks
who
are
running
for
evans
or
for
office
here
in
evanston
will
want
to
want
to
office
for
a
municipal
office.
That's
mayor,
that's
clerk!
B
That's
aldermen
will
want
to
file
at
the
city
clerk's
office,
not
at
the
county,
clerk's
office
or
anywhere
else,
the
local
edmondson
city
clerk's
office,
so
that
filing
period,
as
I
said,
will
be
the
16th
through
the
23rd.
On
the
first
day
to
get
into
some
of
the
weeds
of
the
procedure,
you
know
the
first
day
for
filing
if
you
file
within
the
first
hour
of
the
office
opening
which
the
office
will
open
at
9
00
a.m
on
monday.
B
So
let
that
go
out
to
everyone.
The
clerk's
office
will
open
at
9am
on
monday
november
16th,
and
anyone
who
is
in
line
between
8am
and
9am
will
enter
into
a
lottery
for
the
top
ballot
spot
in
their
in
their
prospective
races,
and
the
lottery
will
be
held
will
announce
the
lottery
date.
You
know
shortly
after
the
petitioning
period,
the
lottery.
The
state
board
of
elections
allows
for
a
number
of
methods,
we'll
likely
put
some
ping
pong
balls
with
some
with
numbers
in
a
spinner
and
that.
K
B
In
accordance
with
the
state
board
of
elections,
rules,
of
course,
you're
gonna
be
filing
your
statement
of
your
candidacy
statement,
your
petitions
that
are
consecutively
numbered
and
your
statement
of
economic
interest,
which
will
be
filed
with
the
county
clerk's
office.
So
the
statement
of
economic
interest
is
filed
with
the
county
clerk's
office
and
you
bring
a
receipt
of
that
statement.
A
stamped
receipt
to
the
clerk's
office,
along
with
your
bound
and
numbered
petitions.
B
Folks
who
are
running
so
there
will
be
a
if
you're.
Turning
in
petitions,
you
can
turn
in
the
number
of
petitions
equal
to
the
signature
requirements
so
for
mayor
and
clerk
and
for
the
respective
awards.
These
are
the
numbers
it's
available
online
through
the
clerks
on
the
clerk's
page
under
reports
and
presentations.
B
You
can't
turn
in
more
than
the
maximum
number
of
signatures.
If
you,
you
know,
let's
say
you
you're
in
the
first
ward
and
you
have
200
signatures
that
you're
turning
in,
but
you
only
want
you
know,
126
of
them
to
be
counted.
You
can
strike
through
signatures
and
there's
a
kind
of
a
recapitulation
page.
That's
available
in
the
candidate's
guide
that
the
clerk's
office
has
made
available,
so
this
form
sbe
p2a,
and
you
can,
you
know,
strike
any
signatures
that
you'd
like
to
strike
using
that
one.
B
If
you
are
a
if
you
for
some
reason,
if
you
choose
to
be
a
writing
candidate,
your
deadline
to
file
for
the
primary,
if
there
is
one
in
your
race
will
be
december.
24Th
and
your
deadline
to
file
for
the
consolidated
election
will
be
february
4th.
B
That
is,
if
you
are
a
write-in
candidate,
if
you
file
to,
if
you
submit
petitions
for
an
office,
and
you
choose
to
change
your
mind
and
you
want
to
withdraw
your
candidacy,
you
can
do
so
before
the
ballot
is
certified.
B
So
if
there
is
a
primary
in
your
race
which,
if
four
or
more
candidates
run
for
a
file
to
run
for
clerk
or
for
alderman,
there
will
be
a
primary
and
more
than
two
file
to
run
for
mayor,
there
will
be
a
primary,
but
the
deadline
to
withdraw
your
candidacy
for
the
primary
will
be
december
17th
or
the
date
that
the
clerk's
office
certifies
the
ballot
which
we
will
hold
off
until
close
to
that
last
date.
B
B
Of
course,
there
is
an
objection
period
that
occurs
after
the
filing
period,
and
so
folks
will
have
five
business
days
after
the
last
day
for
filing
to
submit
an
objection
to
anyone's
candidacy,
and
that
will
go
before
the
local
board
elections
board,
which
is
comprised
of
myself,
where
it's
comprised
of
mayor
haggerty,
as
the
chair
myself
and
alden
and
rainey
as
the
longest
serving
alderman
just
to
get
down
for
one
last.
B
Second,
as
folks
are
filing
the
clerk's
office,
we'll
have
a
running
tab
on
the
city's
website,
so
we'll
create
a
new
web
page
where
folks
can
access
it
like
just
a
google
doc
that
will
list
all
of
the
candidates
who
have
registered
or
who
have
filed
petitions
the
time
that
they
filed
petitions
and
then
eventually
that
information
will
be
updated
with
their
ballot
position
and
whether
or
not
they're
facing
objections
and
what
the
conclusion
is
so
city
of
chicago.
B
Does
this
when
you
file
again,
if
you're
there
the
first
hour,
you
know
line
up
outside
of
the
we're
going
to
be
operating
out
of
g300,
so
you'll
come
down
to
g300
in
the
basement
and
not
the
clerk's
office.
B
We're
gonna
do
it
in
a
socially
distance
fashion,
and
so
we'll
give
you
a
number
if
you're
lined
up
out
there
before
9
00
a.m,
on
on
the
first
day
of
filing
anyone
who
files
after
that
first,
if
you're,
not
in
line
at
9am
when
the
office
opens
up
you'll,
your
ballot
position
will
be
determined
in
the
order
that
you
file,
except
for
the
last
hour
of
the
last
day
on
the
23rd,
which
is
between
four
and
five
pm.
B
Then
you'll
enter
a
lottery
for
the
last
ballot
position.
When
you
follow
your
petitions,
we'll
take
a
picture
of
your
petitions,
I
will
provide
you
with
a
form
that
lists.
Of
course,
your
name
will
gather
your
contact
information
list.
The
number
of
pages
that
you
have
turned
in
and
some
check
boxes
to
make
sure
you've
hit
the
documents
that
you
need,
and
then
you
will
receive
a
copy
of
that
and
those
records
will
be
publicly
available
for
any
resident
of
your
award
to
inspect
your
petitions
through
foia.
B
We'll
get
it
to
you
right
away.
If
you
request
it,
you'll
get
a
copy
of
it.
Normally
within
24
hours
is
the
goal.
So
you
can
look
through
those.
I
think
that
is
you
know.
Those
are
all
of
the
announcements
regarding
filing
again.
This
information
is
available
online.
The
edmonton
city
clerk's
office
really
prides
itself
in
having
gone.
You
know
what
I
think
is
above
and
beyond
the
norms
of
the
clerk's
office
and
making
this
information
available
for
folks.
B
There
are
a
few
videos
that
are
longer
form
where
we've
had
election
attorneys
and
attorneys
from
the
state
board
of
elections,
come
out
and
speak
on
these
matters,
and
so
residents
can
watch
those
videos
as
well
and
so
we're
hoping
that
folks
don't
need
an
election
attorney
in
order
to
an
expensive
election
turn
in
order
to
run
for
office
here
in
evanston.
A
Thank
you,
clerk
reid,
we're
now
going
to
move
to
the
next
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
public
comment.
We
have
70
20.
We
have
27
people
that
have
signed
up
for
public
comment
this
evening.
So
based
on
our
rules
we
set
aside
45
minutes.
I
took
the
27
divided
by
45,
so
that
means
that
each
speaker
will
be
granted
one
minute
and
40
seconds
this
evening.
So
the
first
three
speakers,
the
first
one's
bruce
andenbach
and
then
eric
passat
and
then
mike
vasilco,
so
bruce.
If
you're
here.
A
And
luke,
if
you,
if
you're
monitoring,
all
the
folks
that
are
on,
if
you
can,
let
me
know
if
you
don't
see
people
on
I'm
going
to
move
now
to
the
next
one
I'll
come
back.
If
if
bruce
is
on
and
just
couldn't,
connect
eric
bessette
second
speaker.
Z
Okay,
my
name
is
eric
passett,
I'm
the
owner
of
north
shore
apartments
and
condos
in
evanston.
For
some
reason
my
video
isn't
coming
up.
Oh
here
we
go
okay.
So,
as
you
know,
I
came
I
attended
a
couple.
A
month
ago
I
attended
a
city
council
meeting
talking
about
restaurants,
which
I
continue
to
be
very
concerned
about,
but
that's
not
why
I'm
here
tonight.
Z
I
do
think
that
we
do
need
to
continue
at
some
point,
because
the
ppp
won't
work
for,
if
you're,
already
out
of
business,
so
we're
gonna
have
to
try
to
find
some
way
to
help
people
get
back
in
business,
but
I
think
that's
a
little
premature
yet
so
I'm
here
to
support
sp11,
which
is
the
approval
of
prioritization,
for
this
is
for
mom
pile
landlords
which
unfortunately,
doesn't
cover
the
people
I
represent.
I
think
it's
the
first
step
for
helping
landlords
and
tenants.
Z
You
know
pay
the
rent
and
and
for
landlords
to
be
able
to
pay
their
bills.
So
you
put
down
here
for
mom
todd
landlords
which
I'm
all
for
I
have
nothing.
You
know
you
know.
People
only
have
two
units
we've
seen
things
in
the
news
that
say
that
they,
you
know
some
people
can't
even
pay
their
mortgage.
Z
I
would
urge
you
that
the
larger
landlords
I
represent
are
having
the
same
issues
and
even
at
more
catastrophic,
because
you
times
it,
you
have
a
30
unit.
Building
some
of
our
buildings
that
we
represent
have
20
percent
of
the
people.
Get
campaign
runs
we're
not
at
the
bill,
we're
not
a
lot
of
the
buildings
that
are
close
to
campus
so
they're.
Z
You
know
it's
a
lot
of
different
incomes,
you
know
and
a
lot
of
different
price
points
not
of
the
higher
end,
not
high-rise,
and
I
urge
you
that
that
we
try
to
find
a
way
to
help
out
those
landlords.
Also,
as
I
mentioned
to
you,
the
state
has
has
set
aside
some
money,
but
it's
not
even
it's.
It's
just
a
drop
in
the
bucket.
Z
C
I
You
so
once
again,
regarding
the
budget,
you
know
many
evanston.
Citizens
are
unemployed
and
struggling
property.
Tax
increases,
increased
fees
and
fines
are
callous
and
will
drive
more
people
out
of
evanston.
I
I
So
if
you
add
up
all
the
staff
that
evanston
has
part-time
employees
and
full-time
employees,
there's
100
734
people
when
you
add
it
up,
but
that
includes
part-time,
these,
these
fractions
of
people,
so
we
have
over
800
bodies
working
in
the
city
of
evanston,
and
that
certainly
is
more
than
we
need
for
a
city
our
size.
I
If
you
look
at
the
agenda,
you've
got
sp3
tax
increases,
sp4
tax
increases,
sp5,
sp6,
fp7,
sp,
8,
sp9,
they're,
all
tax
levy
increases
it.
Surely
you
can?
The
council
can
see
that
that's
a
very
regressive
way
to
treat
the
citizens
at
this
point
in
time.
I
A
Thank
you.
Next
we've
got
sean
jones,
then
laurie,
keane
and
then
carolyn
murray.
A
Okay,
how
about
larry,
keenan.
K
AA
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
brief
statement
about
the
accessibility
of
services
during
this
culvert
time.
I
understand
that
the
city
collections
office
has
opened
up
remote
sites
and
I
would
appeal
to
the
council
and
to
the
city
manager
to
try
to
establish
some
type
of
remote
service
sites
for
the
potential
candidates
that
are
running
and
any
questions
that
they
might
have.
I
understand
that
there
has
been
a
lot
of
internet
and
web-based
information
that
has
been
put
out
there.
AA
AA
As
we
know,
it
is
no
longer
open
due
to
the
pandemic,
so
I'm
just
asking
for
more
readily
available
communication.
As
far
as
emailing
and
residents
that
have
asked
questions
in
regards
to
getting
information
from
the
clerk's
office,
I'm
sure
the
clerk
does
a
wonderful
job
without
a
pandemic.
However,
we
are
experiencing
a
hardship
and
the
lack
of
accessibility
is
consistent
and
what
I
see
with
the
service.
AA
B
If
I
can
just
chime
in
to
help
her
find
the
information,
it's
all
online,
the
presentation
given
in
council
meetings,
and
so
you
can
find
anything
that
you're
looking
for
the
clerk's
office
in
evanston
has
gone
above
and
beyond
any.
You
know,
clerk's
office,
I'd,
say
in
the
state.
AA
Let
me
be
very
clear
and
I
will
state
it
again.
I
am
not
talking
about
internet
access,
there
are
people
in
evanston
that
don't
have
access
readily
available
to
internet,
and
I
am
asking
you
to
consider
to
have
a
remote
office
hours
set
up
or
even
by
appointment
for
residents
taxpaying
residents
that
are
seeking
services
through
the
clerk's
office.
A
Got
it?
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Carolyn
next
up
we've
got
betty
ester,
then
yeah,
betty
esther,
then
carolyn
laughlin,
then
claire.
AB
N
Sorry
I
was
eating,
but
anyway
I
don't
want
to
speak
to
just
one
issue.
The
speaker
earlier
speaker
spoke
of
it
and.
N
Okay
on
it,
and
that
was
about
the
assistance
and
stuff
that
we
give
to
landlords
and
tenants
and
also
goes
with
the
in
speaking
to
the
proposal
that
you
are
going
to
approve,
I
guess
with
giving
funds
to
undocumented
citizens.
N
They,
like
a
lot
of
citizens
here
in
evanston,
are
in
a
crunch,
but
they
probably
are
in
the
same
crunch
and
their
landlords
are
sitting
there
saying
I'm
getting
to
the
point.
I
have
to
ask
you
to
move
if
I
cannot
keep
my
building
open,
because
I
have
bills
to
pay
and
I
don't
have
funds
coming
in
to
save
them.
N
N
So
that
is
something
that
we
should
look
at
and
it
was
in
terms
of
the
pe
funding
and
stuff
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
Those
are
people
that
we
need
to
help.
We
are
asking
them
to
help
the
residents
that
need
help
in
staying
in
their
homes
that
they
have,
but
we
need
to
help
them
also
to
keep
that
building
open.
N
A
T
Thank
you
very
much.
This
summer,
I
engaged
with
interest
in
mayor
your
policing
in
evanston
discussion
series,
the
mayor,
accompanied
by
chief
cook,
hosted
city
staff,
evanston,
black
youth,
academicians
and
civic
leaders
from
other
municipalities.
T
T
One
exciting
example
is
a
program
adopted
in
denver
that
originated
in
eugene
oregon
called
cahoots
it
dispatches
medics
and
crisis
workers
on
calls
that
don't
require
police
officers.
The
30-year
program
diverts
five
to
eight
percent
of
police
calls
and
is
providing
higher
quality
intervention
and
saving
money.
I
fully
expected
that
the
rich
information
gleaned
from
the
great
questions
and
expert
testimony
would
be
compiled
by
our
city
staff
into
an
analysis
of
insights
recommendations
and
intended
actions.
T
I
expected
that,
as
a
result
of
the
deep
dive
that
the
mayor
said
would
follow
the
series
the
2021,
evanston
police,
department,
role,
functions
and
budget
would
begin
to
take
a
different
form.
Instead,
I'm
disappointed
that
I've
not
seen
any
document
and
that
next
year
the
evanston
police
department
is
likely
to
look
a
lot
like
what
we
have
right
now.
T
The
price
tag
for
police
services
will
be
higher
than
2020
actual
we'll
pay
about
560
dollars
per
person
and
we'll
have
the
fourth
highest
ratio
of
officers
to
residents
in
the
state
hosting
luncheon
learns
is
great,
but
we
need
evidence
that
evanston
is
learning
from
other
cities
about
how
to
improve
public
safety
while
reducing
the
negative
fiscal
and
social
impact
of
policing.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
AC

U
Oh
shoot
sorry,
my
phone
was
mute
there
you
are
ray,
welcome.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
good
evening.
Everyone
ray
friedman.
Second
ward.
I
wanted
to
keep
the
public
comic
tonight
a
little
bit
on
the
brighter
side.
We
have
a
new
president-elect
and
it
was
a
beautiful
day.
U
My
mom
turned
90
last
week
and
no
no
covet
here
so,
but
back
to
back
to
evanston.
I
would
like
to
first
thank
jamie
for
her
analysis
on
the
budget
last
council
meeting
and
this
council
meeting
and
it
was
awesome
and
I
hope,
you'll
put
her
suggestions
into
use.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
bob
frosher
for
his
comments
on
1621
to
1631
chicago
avenue.
U
I
will
to
change
subjects
totally
I'd
like
to
to
thank
reggie
napier
for
his
help
here
in
the
second
ward
and
his
advice
when
I,
when
I
moved
here
about
four
years
ago,
I'm
very
sorry
to
hear
about
him
retiring
from
epd
and
we'll
miss
you,
and
I
want
to
wish
them
the
best
of
luck.
Also,
I
wanted
to
apologize
to
erica
storley,
as
I
was
so
involved
with
the
process
and
lack
of
transparency
and
hiring
the
new
city
manager
that
I
neglected
to
congratulate
you
on
your
new
position.
U
U
Now,
I'd
like
to
finish
my
pub,
I
just
want
to
finish
my
public
comment:
real
quick
on
the
disconnect
between
transparency
and
disagreement
with
all
due
respect,
mayor
haggerty,
but
I
am
totally
insulted
by
your
two-page
letter
to
the
round
table
on
10
22.
U
Your
promise
does
not
work
here
because,
in
order
to
have
a
disagreement,
you
first
need
to
have
a
discussion
or
conversation
or
dialogue
with
residents.
I
cannot
speak
to
what
would
be
supported
by
the
majority
of
elected
officials,
but
I
believe
you
are
very
wrong
about
what
would
or
would
not
be
supported
by
the
majority
of
evanstonians.
U
If
you
want
to
know
who
is
correct,
just
ask
the
majority
of
the
75
000
evanstonians
who
live
here
you're
right.
Sometimes
we
do
just
disagree
and
yes,
I
would
agree
that
there
are
inevitably
controversial
controversies
here
in
evanston,
as
you
stated,
but
controversies
are
not
the
problem.
What
you
do
about
the
com
controversies
is
the
problem.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Next,
we've
got
greg.
Wazowski
apology.
Welcome
oh
you're,
passing
too
okay.
How
about
dave
and
meek.
A
All
right,
I
can't
hear
you
if
you're
speaking,
maybe
you're
a
mute.
How
about
ray
cisco.
A
All
right:
how
about
jennifer,
karlovitz.
F
All
right
who
are
you
welcome?
Thank
you.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
colliers
for
their
explanation
of
some
of
the
budget
issues.
They've
really
helped
a
ra,
a
lay
person
be
able
to
understand
things
better.
I
too
am
concerned
about
the
the
unspecified
million
seven
program
expenses.
F
You
know
under
miscellaneous
in
the
cdbg
grants,
and
I
think
that
we
should
probably
get
that
specified,
because
that's
a
lot
of
money
not
to
know-
or
maybe
it
is
known
as
just
forgot
to
be
put
in
the
other
thing
I
was
wondering-
is
why
the
taxes
went
down
so
to
over
two
million
dollars.
F
Is
that
because
a
commercial
property
estimates
that
you're
figuring,
and
so
that
would
be
nice
to
know
because
they,
I
don't
think
many
people's
property
taxes
have
gone
down,
and
this
last
thing
was
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
a
way
when
we're
bringing
out
these
budgets,
if
we
can
do
a
year
to
date,
when
this
comes
out
so
that
we
can
have
an
understanding,
we
have
the
2019
actual,
and
then
we
have
the
2019
pro
or
2020
proposed
and
the
2020
actual
well,
what
is
it?
F
How
does
it
proposed
and
then
estimated,
but
it
would
be
great
to
have
a
2020
year
to
date
as
of
when
that
comes
out,
because
some
of
these
numbers
it's
hard
to
say
if
we
are
reaching
those
numbers
or
if
we're
way,
far
away
from
them,
or
is
there
extra
money
going
to
be
there?
So
that's
what
I'd
like
to
say
and
thank
you
so
much.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mary
next
up
we've
got
molly
hartenstein,
then
cicely
mchugh.
Then
sarah
hogan,
I
think
molly.
V
Hello,
mayor,
hello,
city
council,
I'm
here
tonight,
speaking
on
behalf
of
evanston
fight
for
bad
wives,
I'll
try
to
keep
this
short.
The
main
thing
we
wanted
to
say
is
that
this
budget
does
not
decrease
the
police
budget
whatsoever
and
that
alderman,
robin
roosevens
alderman
sicily,
fleming
alderman,
wilson,
alderman,
revell,
alderman
win
and
I
believe,
aldermen
suffered
and
all
committed
to
defunding,
and
so
voting
on
approving
this
budget
even
today
means
they're
going
back
on
that
promise.
V
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
the
city,
especially
the
miranda
set
up
by
mayor
hagerty,
assumes
that
as
long
as
they
aren't
adding
to
the
police,
they're
defunding
it.
That
is
not
the
case
whatsoever.
V
We
know
that
the
police
budget
needs
to
come
down
and
the
budget
that's
proposed
for
2021.
The
police
budget
increases,
while
the
community
development
parks
and
recreation
fund
and
health
and
human
services
fund
all
decrease.
This
is
a
continuation
of
a
decades-long
trend
that
is
like
damning
black
and
brown
evanstonians
every
single
day.
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
that
evansville
lives
is
hosting
a
presentation
on
the
proposed
2021
budget
on
wednesday.
V
You
can
look
on
our
facebook
or
instagram
pages
for
zoom
links
on
that
or
we'll
dissect
it
and
explain
to
you
why
the
city
is
not
actually
serving
its
residents
with
a
budget
that
they
have
proposed.
That
all
being
said,
I
want
to
reaffirm
evidence
to
fight
for
black
lives,
commitment
to
affordable
housing
and
to
point
out
that
we
actually
need
to
defund
the
evanston
police
department,
and
any
rhetoric
surrounding
the
funding
that
is
coming
from
the
city.
Right
now
is
baseless
unless
they
actually
decrease
the
budget.
A
Thank
you,
molly.
We
have
sicily
or
cecile.
I
apologize
mchugh,
then
sarah
bogan
and
then
sean
peck.
AD
This
is,
I
have
three
sort
of
unrelated,
maybe
comments
on
the
earlier
meeting
related
to
1900
sherman.
K
AD
I'll
go
second,
hacc
continues
to
say
that
the
proposed
development
for
1900
sherman
will
provide
51,
affordable
units.
This
is
simply
untrue.
According
to
the
definition
of
affordable
units
in
the
evanston
city
code,
evanson
city
code
explicitly
says
that
affordable
units
must
be
rented
to
those
with
sixty
percent
of
the
ami
or
less.
The
proposal
from
hacc
is
to
provide
34
units
for
those
with
50
or
less
so
34
units
for
those
60
or
less
essentially
and
17
units
for
those
having
between
80
and
120
percent
of
the
ami.
AD
These
17
units
for
those
having
between
80
to
120
percent
of
the
ami
are
not
there
for
affordable
units.
The
fact
that
they
continue
to
include
these
units
that
have
a
somewhat
reduced
rent
and
their
account
of
affordable
units
is
misleading
and
must
stop,
especially
because
the
somewhat
reduced
rents
are
available
easily
and
are
found
for
apartments
easily
in
the
evanston
area.
In
close
proximity.
AD
My
second
comment
is
that,
regarding
the
planning
and
zoning
commission
decisions
at
the
reading
recent
meeting,
in
which
they
voted
to
approve
the
zoning
change,
but
not
at
the
same
meeting
improve
the
approve
the
proposed
development
itself.
AD
They
were
voting
against
the
the
proposed
development
because
of
the
size
of
the
building
saying
it
was
too
much
of
an
ask
for
the
neighborhood.
This
is
odd
to
me
because,
after
examining
the
zoning
regulations,
it's
obvious,
as
you
all
know,
the
way
to
keep
the
building
down
in
size
is
to
leave
the
current
zoning.
AD
As
r6
alderman
revell
said
earlier
that,
while
she
had
been
very
vocal
about
height
she's,
been
changing
her
mind,
she
seemed
to
be
saying
that
the
end
result
of
having
developers
reduce
the
height
of
a
building
is
an
unattractive
building
that
takes
up
too
much
of
its
lot.
This
is
not
a
given.
I
attended
the
linc
meetings
and
was
pleased
to
see
the
council
reject
it.
AD
Afterwards,
the
developer
came
back
with
a
somewhat
modified
building
that
was
not
quite
as
high,
but
now
took
up
every
inch
of
lot
space
and
more
had
no
setbacks,
and
while
I
spoke
against
this
modified
design
and
communicated
with
the
aldermen
in
this
room
now
regarding
the
modified
design,
most
of
the
aldermen
in
this
room,
the
council
approved
it
anyway.
The
problem
is
that
developers
and
owners
design
a
building
that
exceeds
size
limits
as
stating
in
the
zoning
regulations.
A
Oh
thank
thank
you
for
those
comments.
Next
up,
we've
got
sarah
bogan,
then
sean
peck,
collier,
then
stephanie
mendoza
is
sarah
with
us.
AE
Keep
mine
very
short.
I
would
just
like
to
second
everything.
Molly
said
that
there's
been
literally
zero
action
towards
actually
defunding
the
police,
and
it's
a
shame
that
the
youth
of
evans
dedicate
their
time
to
giving
laying
out
exactly
what
it
should
look
like
and
educating
the
leaders
of
this
city.
A
Thank
you.
Sarah
next
we've
got
sean
pacquiao,
then
stephanie
mendoza,
then
tina
payton.
J
J
I
believe
that
this
would
be
an
incredibly
useful
document
for
both
the
city
and
council
and
our
residents
to
see
for
this
year
and
encourage
the
city
to
incorporate
that
into
our
current
budget.
I
would
also
like
to
commend
the
video
presentation,
our
city
developed,
in
order
to
help
guide
our
residents
and
how
they
can
help
this
winter
and
making
it
easier
for
everyone.
J
During
a
recent
joint
meeting
of
the
awards,
to
hear
a
budget
presentation,
don
wilson
brought
up
the
issue.
That's
to
paraphrase
there
are
many
calls
placed
to
the
police
that
were
unnecessary,
and
these
unnecessary
calls
cost
the
city
money
and
create
a
burden
on
what
could
otherwise
be
faster
police
response
times.
I'm
wondering
if
the
city
would
be
able
to
invest
in
a
similar
pr
campaign
in
order
to
reduce
those
calls.
J
As
we
know,
our
black
and
brown
neighbors
have
stated
over
and
over
again
that
they
experience
police
harassment
and
the
data
that
illinois
department
of
transportation
has
shared
reflects
that
black
and
brown
folks
are
stopped
in
traffic
nine
times
the
rate
of
white
folks
and
make
up
between
60
to
70
percent
of
pedestrian
pat
downs,
but
with
less
of
a
contraband
or
arrest
hit
rate
than
our
white
neighbors.
We
need
to
do
everything
we
can
in
order
to
change
these
statistics,
and
I
encourage
the
city
to
aggressively
look
for
ways
to
do
so.
Thank
you.
AF
Hi,
thank
you
for
having
me,
I'm
just
here
to
express
my
report
for
resolution.
115
r20
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
create
a
community
member
relief
fund
to
provide
emergency
relief
to
undocumented
evanston
residents.
AF
I
hope
that
the
city
council
can
unanimously
approve
this
fund
to
show
our
undocumented
community
here
in
evanston
that
we
are
a
truly
welcoming
city
and
that
we
let
them
know
that
we
want
them
to
stay
here
in
our
community,
especially
during
this
time
of
of
tremendous
hardship,
especially
for
a
lot
of
our
of
our
undocumented
residents,
who
are
also
essential
workers.
AF
Thank
you
so
much
also
to
cecily
fleming's
for
making
this
happen
and
and
for
the
human
service
committee
for
for
passing
this
through
as
well
and
to
ike
for
writing
this
up
and
taking
the
time
to
truly
bring
something
forward
that
will
help
our
undocumented
residents.
Thank
you.
AG
Hi
good
evening,
everyone
first
I'd
like
to
say
that,
as
far
as
the
budget
and
the
property
tax
and
you,
the
northwestern
university
needs
to
start
paying,
they
own
a
lot
and
don't
pay
a
lot.
So
if
you
start
trying
to
get
some
more
money
from
northwestern,
then
maybe
we
can
meet
the
budget
requirements.
They
don't
pay
for
the
fire
department
and
many
other
services,
and
so
they
need
to
start
paying.
AG
Also
as
far
as
the
city
snow
plowing.
I
hope
that
this
year
that
the
city
has
trained
their
snowplow
people
and
not
put
snow
on
the
sidewalk
after
the
citizens
have
shoveled
the
sidewalk.
AG
I
will
be
calling
1
000
times
if
this
happens
as
far
as
1900
sherman,
I
thought
from
several
years
ago
that
the
downtown
plan
was
supposed
to
be,
or
the
city
of
evanston
guidance
for
how
we
wanted
the
city
to
look
would
be
the
wedding
cake
plan.
AG
So
now,
as
far
as
I
know
that
this
is
north
downtown,
evanston
and
you're
putting
tall
buildings
that
are
supposed
to
be
in
the
middle
of
downtown,
not
in
the
outskirts.
So
now
it
looks
lopsided
and
there's
no
plan
for
that.
E-2
was
supposed
to
be
the
border
on
emerson
and
the
1900
is
on
the
border
over
the
border
going
north.
AG
I
would
like
to
know-
and
there
has
been
no
conversation
since
we're
all
concerned-
about
affordable
housing.
Where
are
the
units
for
families?
Two
three
and
four
bedrooms,
all
of
the
these
developers
build
studio
and
one-bedroom
apartments,
and
we
say
how
much
we
love
affordable
housing,
but
not
for
families.
AG
This
building
is
going
to
build
mostly
studios
and
one-bedrooms
for
supposed
affordable
units.
How
many
units
have
you
built
or
approved?
I
should
say
as
city
council,
how
many
units
have
you
approved
for
families,
two
three
and
four
bedrooms?
And
yes,
you
do
vote
yes
on
most
tall
buildings
here
in
evanston,
this
displaces
minority
and
low-income
families.
AG
You
have
already
approved
the
howard
street
project
and
gave
two
million
dollars
to
them.
You
already
approved,
and
this
built
the
avador
and
1815
ridge
for
55
plus.
We
do
not
need
any
more
tall
buildings
in
this
town.
This
is
soon
we
will
have
the
sears
towers
and
john
hancock
down
the
street.
It's
outrageous
and
you
all
seem
to
vote
and
think
it's
okay
to
have
tall
buildings.
AG
A
You
tina
thank
you.
Gina
next
up
we've
got
jacqueline,
hardin
kyra
kelly,
then
carla's
son.
A
Okay,
how
about
kyra
kelly.
AB
Thank
you,
I'm
speaking
today
to
say
that
we
do
need
affordable
housing,
but
we
ask
that
the
hacc
developers
come
back
with
a
better
proposal
that
better
respects
our
zoning
and
the
fabric
of
our
neighborhoods,
where
they
choose
to
come
built.
I'm
dismayed,
okay!
AB
Well
now,
first,
I
want
to
say
that
the
first
version
that
hack
for
presented-
and
everyone
still
thinks
on
the
table
was
palatable
and
reasonable
and
11
stories,
80
units
and
70
affordable,
and
I'm
just
made
that
the
developer
kind
of
denied
presenting
that
I
actually
he
presented
that
at
a
first
word
meeting
and
we
took
it
very
seriously.
It
was
a
seven
store,
building
80
units
as
opposed
to
168
units
and
majority.
AB
AB
In
fact,
it
really
only
gives
that
the
required
34
or
20
of
on-site
units,
which
is
only
34
units,
but
I'm
not
surprised
that
you
got
this
wrong,
because
the
presentation
that
was
sent
to
you
had
70
percent,
affordable
units
and
now
it's
70
luxury
and
from
what
I
understand
it's
the
ten
percent
of
the
missing
middle
that
is
driving
up
the
height.
AB
All
of
these
stories
in
a
missing
middle
is
still
very
pricey
for
seventeen,
almost
seventeen
hundred
dollars
for
small
studios
and
one
bedrooms.
These
are
really
comparable
to
what's
already
available
that
doesn't
ask
anything
of
the
neighborhoods.
Also
the
avador
were
so
complimentary
and
I'm
glad
that
we're
getting
affordable
housing,
but
the
avador
included
the
iho
requirements.
AB
Without
these
excessive
demands
on
the
neighborhood,
they
hack
is
probably
saying
they
are
holding
off
on
using
low
income
tax
credits
and
instead
are
trying
their
hand
at
being
luxury
developers
with
this
luxury
mixed
income
prototype.
But
again
that
means
our
war.
I
mean,
and
our
area
has
to
pick
up
the
slack
and
absorb
many
additional
stories.
AB
It's
not
appropriate
to
ask
neighbors
to
accept
ever-worsening
terms
of
this
building.
As
the
housing
authority
sort
of
muddles
their
way
through
dealings
with
the
bank
lenders,
that's
what
we're
hearing
they
keep
having
different
requirements.
Well,
we
we
were
still
thinking
that
we
were
getting
an
11
story
building
you
know
and
then
now
the
sudden
we're
expected
to
just
accept
a
16
story.
Building,
that's
double
the
units
because
of
their
lending
agreements.
AB
AB
Although
in
february
and
although
in
favor
of
the
concept
we
have
to
draw,
the
line,
16
stories
is
too
hot,
too
tall
at
this
site
asking
too
much
of
the
neighborhood.
This
is
the
planned
commission.
They
actually
tried
to
make
amendment
to
recommend
that
the
height
be
reduced
and
city
staff
really
discouraged
them
from
doing
that.
So.
A
Y
First,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
and
I
have
three
concerns.
Number
one:
there's
adequate
need
for
landlords
to
get
some
assistance,
so
you
need
to
adequately
fund
sp
11..
It's
insufficiently
funded
for
the
need
of
small
landlords.
Secondly,
the
paperwork
to
apply
for
these
loans.
Y
Y
Y
I
will
not
tolerate
it
this
winter
and
if
I
mean
we
have
to
block
the
plow
from
coming
into
our
driveways
or
you
either
clear
our
driveways
for
us
enough
is
enough,
do
not
continue
the
planning
that
you
have
for
removing
snow
and
where
are
we
to
put
the
snow
if
it
doesn't
go
into
the
street?
Where
do
you
suggest
we
put
it?
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
carlos
next,
and
I
think
this
may
be.
Our
last
speaker
is
trish.
K
AH
A
K
AH
You
mayor,
I
wanted
to
tag
on
to
some
of
the
other
commenters
tonight
mike
fasilco
miss
esther
carolyn
laughlin.
First
off
the
library
budget
absolutely
should
not
be
increased.
AH
They've
reduced
services,
they've
closed
two
branch,
libraries,
they
shouldn't
be
adding
services
or
any
cost
to
their
budget
whatsoever.
They
should
be
reducing
it.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I'm
a
huge
library,
lover,
supporter
and
I've
worked
for
them
for
many
many
years,
but
in
today
I
just
don't
see
how
we
can
increase
that
budget,
even
a
little.
AH
As
for
the
police
budget,
the
comparison
to
other
cities
is
interesting
and
if
you
then
add
on
the
northwestern
police
department,
I
think
our
city
exceeds
all
other
cities
in
comparison
to
cost
and
I'd
like
to
see
an
evaluation
of
what
that
really
is
for
our
population
and
other
cities
of
the
same
comparison
who
spend
whether
it's
26
million
and
we
spend
42
million
plus
what
northwestern
spends.
That's
that's
a
huge
amount
of
money
and
carolyn's
comments
were
interesting
and
I'd
be
interested
to
hear
a
discussion
about
the
police
conversation
further
in
my
business.
AH
As
for
the
budget,
we
took
a
twenty
percent.
Our
entire
company
took
a
twenty
percent
pay
cut
since
march
because
of
cobit,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
high
paid
salary
people
in
the
city
of
chicago
in
the
city
of
evanston.
It's
not
unreasonable
to
ask
them
to
take
a
pay
cut
or
to
lay
people
off.
We
should
not
be
adding
services.
We
should
not
be
adding
payroll
whatsoever.
AH
We
should
freeze
hiring
share
the
pain
our
our
citizens
can't
afford
it
and
raising
taxes
isn't
an
option.
As
for
developments,
I'm
curious
why
the
city
of
evanston
doesn't
have
impact
fees
for
large
developers
in
crane's
business.
Today
it
was
shown
that
evanston
play
place
is
expected
to
sell
for
70
million
dollars.
AH
I
see
the
developers
come
in
and
I
know
ann
they
come
in
and
they
build
these
huge
buildings
and
they
make
a
huge
profit,
but
the
city
of
evanston
doesn't
doesn't
reap
the
benefits.
Our
taxes
go
up,
the
impact
of
services
and
our
infrastructure
suffers
because
of
it,
and
I
I
look
at
all
the
empty
storefronts.
AH
So
I
don't
know
how
our
city
is
going
to
survive
in
2021
in
2022,
when
our
revenue
sources
dry
up,
because
we
aren't
taking
in
income
and
you're
right,
and
we
need
to
think
about
raising
taxes
for
or
raising
not
taxes.
I
apologize
finding
alternative
ways
of
making
money
renting
parking
lots
things
like
that.
I
fear
that
we're
in
major
trouble
over
the
years
to
come
because
of
this
and
so
raising
any
taxes
for
anybody
is
unacceptable.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
trish
all
right
luke.
That
concludes
everybody
that
I
had
on
the
list.
Was
there
anybody
else.
A
So
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
signing
up
and
speaking
on
variety
topics
this
evening
at
public
comment,
we're
now
going
to
move
into
the
rest
of
the
agenda.
Our
first
order
is
special
orders
of
business.
We
have
several
items
under
special
orders
of
business.
A
lot
of
them
are
the
the
tax
levies
and
approving
the
fiscal
year
2021
budget.
Before
we
get
into
these
discussions,
I
want
to
be
very
clear
to
everyone
that
the
budget
2021
budget
is
not
being
adopted
tonight.
A
There
are
still
ward
meetings
that
are
going
to
be
taking
place
in
some
wards
to
discuss
the
budget
and
to
get
and
to
get
feedback
that
will
be
a
two-week
process,
and
if
these
pass
for
introduction
tonight,
they
will
be
back
on
the
city
council
agenda
on
monday
november
23rd
for
action
so
again
tonight.
These
are
just
for
introduction.
A
With
that,
I'm
going
to
ask
the
senior
older
woman,
if
she
wouldn't
mind
being
the
one
to
introduce
each
of
each
of
these
under
special
orders
of
business.
So
if
you
could
move
sp1
first.
A
Oh,
I
can't
you're
muted.
S
I'll
be
the
guilty
party
here:
sp1
ordnance,.
S
A
Q
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
appreciate
it
so
we
have
taken
the
feedback
from
the
council
that
we
received
at
the
last
city
council
meeting
and
we've
incorporated
it
into
our
draft
proposal,
and
this
evening
we
have
a
brief
presentation
outlining
the
tax
levy,
ordinances
that
are
before
you
on
the
agenda
tonight
and
also
incorporating
that
feedback
and
those
changes
that
were
requested.
Q
AI
So
there
are
a
number
of
of
items
on
the
agenda
today.
There
are
a
lot
of
different
pieces
that
go
into
our
adopting
our
2021
budget.
The
first
item
on
the
agenda
already
took
place.
That
was
the
truth
in
taxation
hearings.
AI
That
was
a
specific
public
hearing
required
by
the
state
on
the
on
the
same
day
that
our
tax
levy
ordinances
are
introduced,
so
that
took
place
as
well
as,
of
course,
additional
comments
on
the
budget
and
on
the
tax
levies
during
during
our
normal
public
comment
in
the
meeting
as
well,
the
2021
budget
ordinance
was
110
20.
AI
That's
what
we're
in
the
discussion
for
right
now
and
then
we
also
have
abatement
resolutions
which
are
included
as
one
item
and
then
tax
levy,
ordinances,
which
are
six
separate
items
on
the
budget
or
I'm
sorry
on
the
agenda.
This
evening,
so
again,
these
are
all
we're
going
to
talk
about
these
all
at
once,
right
now,
and
then,
of
course,
we'll
go
through
them
in
the
agenda
as
they
come
up.
AI
So
the
2021
budget
ordinance
that
was
introduced,
ordinance
11020
for
interest
for
introduction
tonight,
is
the
2021
budget
in
the
amount
of
297
million
246
thousand
one
hundred
dollars.
This
is
a
decrease
of
26
23
million
from
the
2020
adapted
budget.
All
funds
saw
a
slight
decrease
from
the
initial
proposed
budget.
The
document
that's
on
the
website
due
to
the
implement
implementation
of
reducing
our
non-union
general
wage
increases.
AI
AI
The
general
fund
is
is,
of
course,
where
we
focus
a
lot
of
our
conversation
in
the
budget
and
we've
updated
the
budget
balancing
worksheet
that
we
use
to
track
the
changes
we're
proposing
to
the
general
fund.
That's
been
included
in
the
city
council
packet
this
evening,
so
that
again
will
list
all
of
the
changes
that
we
that
we
are
proposing
to
that
to
the
general
fund
through
the
budget
balancing
worksheet.
AI
All
of
those
changes
have
been
implemented
in
this
final
297
million
dollar
budget
amount
and
including
you
know
this.
This
general
fund
expense
amount,
that's
shown
here
so
revenue
in
the
general
fund
after
we
implement
all
those
changes,
is
112
million
expenses
are
111.6.
AI
Again,
the
change
from
the
initial
proposed
budget
was
to
reduce
the
contribution
to
fund
balance
in
2021
from
1
million
down
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
this
avoids
a
general
fund
property
tax
increase
and
brings
down
our
total
tax
increase
of
that
staff
recommends
that
that
city
council
discuss
maybe
a
commitment
to
again
meet
that
16.6
number
in
the
next
few
years.
One
way
of
accomplishing
that
is
committing
to
increase
our
fund
balance
contribution
by
500
000
per
year
from
2021
to
2024..
AI
That
would
bring
us
to
that
goal
amount
by
2024.
AI
A
few
changes
made
on
the
capital
improvement
plan,
the
the
largest
one
being
that
mcculloch
park
project
was
added
back
to
the
2021
capital
improvements
plan.
This
is
a
million
dollar
project
about
which
will
be
bond
funded
next
year.
It
was
initially
delayed
in
2020
delayed
to
2022
as
a
way
of
finding
cost
savings
next
year,
but
unfortunately,
the
playground
equipment
has
been
recommended
for
removal
at
this
time
due
to
safety
concerns.
AI
So
steph
is
hoping
to
proceed
with
the
project
as
planned
and
not
delay
the
the
renovations
on
that
park
any
further.
Since
this,
this
work
needs
to
be
done
now.
This
would
increase
the
2021
bond
issue
to
7.6
million,
which
is
still
quite
far
below
our
normal
amount
of
10
million
that
goes
towards
general
capital
improvement
projects
across
the
city.
AI
Okay,
thank
you,
and
this
won't
have
an
impact
on
2021
debt
service
costs,
but
it
will
impact
our
2022
debt
service
costs
so
again,
not
a
not
a
major
impact
on
on
what
we're
paying
out
of
the
budget
next
year,
but
it
will
of
course,
have
an
impact
going
forward.
AI
AL
Okay,
thank
you,
kate,
good
evening,
mayor
members
of
the
city
council.
It
is
the
site
chief
financial
officer,
so
one
of
the
change
in
the
property
taxes
yeah,
we
removed
half
a
million
dollar
in
the
tax
increase
for
general
fund
by
contributing
less
to
the
fund
balance.
So
now
the
overall
levy
increase
is
around
4.9
percent
of
the
total
city
and
library
combined
tax
levy.
AL
Next
slide,
please,
okay,
so
this
is
just
the
table
showing
what
is
the
increase
in
each
individual?
So
there
is
no
increase
in
general
fund.
Human
service
fund
is
going
up
by
a
half
a
million
dollar
for
certain
new
programs,
solid
waste
funds.
We
kept
the
levy
flat,
but
we
have
proposed
some
of
the
minor
increases
in
the
fees
debt
service
fund,
since
we
stopped
doing
the
transfer
from
general
fund
to
the
debt
service
fund
and
we
had
a
refunding
savings
of
million
dollar
for
this
year
and
other
million
next
year.
AL
AL
Obviously,
the
stock
market
did
well
as
of
the
last
year,
so
it
is
comparatively
less
than
the
sum
of
the
previous
years
in
fire
pension.
It
is
379
000,
whereas
in
police
pension
it
is
205
000.,
so
total
increase
for
the
city
is
2.5
million
dollar
around
4.5
percent
next
week.
Thank
you
so
general
assistance.
We
are
proposing
a
220
000
increase
for
some
of
the
programs.
AL
Next,
please,
and
what
would
be
the
impact?
This
is
a
question
we
always
ask,
and
even
we
heard
in
the
ward
meeting
that
what
would
be
the
impact
on
the
homeowners
and
so
here's
the
table.
Somebody
with
a
hundred
thousand
market
value
would
see
the
increase
of
around
twenty
four
dollars
in
the
city
portion
of
the
tax
bill.
AL
If
it's
a
half
a
million
dollar,
it's
roughly
119
dollars
in
the
property
tax
increase
for
the
city
portion
and
eight
hundred
thousand
hundred
and
ninety
thousand
next,
please
okay,
the
abatement
resolution.
So
what
happens
is
when
we
issue
the
bonds?
Every
year
we
file
the
ordinance
with
the
cook
county,
so
they
automatically
levy
the
debt
service
based
on
the
amortization
schedule
and
the
bonds
order
filed
with
them.
AL
AL
Next
tax
levy
ordinance,
obviously
we
establish
the
tax
levy
and
we
submit
the
ordinance
with
the
cook
county
and
based
on
that
they
extend
a
tax
levy
for
the
city
so
which
includes
the
general
foreign
human
service
fund,
solid
waste
police
and
fire
pension.
Now
this
does
not
include
the
debt
service,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
I
mean
they
already
have
the
bond
ordinance
and
the
bond
order,
so
they
have
the
amount
we
just
have
to
give
them
the
abutment
resolution
and
they
will
reduce
the
debt
service
levy
by
that
amount.
AL
AL
Next,
please,
okay,
so
we
have
the
ordinance
113-4-20,
which
is
for
the
general
assistance
tax
levy,
which
you
saw
earlier,
there's
a
slight
increase
of
223
20
000
and
again
it
includes
the
loss
factor
applied,
ordinance
114-0-20,
which
is
the
library
tax
levy.
No
increase
is
the
same
levy
as
the
last
year,
and
this
is
for
the
operations.
Debt
service
levy
is
established
through
batman
and
again
library.
Debt
service
is
part
of
our
city
debt
service.
AL
Same
thing
as
a
three
percent
loss
factor
applied
here
too
next,
please
special
service
area.
We
have
few
special
service
areas
and
we
have
to
have
a
ordinance
for
that
tax
levy
too,
and
in
light
of
the
uncertainty
in
the
assessment,
you
know
we
had
a
big
jump
in
2019.
Then
we
got
kobe
now,
I'm
hearing
some
go
with
really
from
the
cook
county.
AL
I
don't
know
what
and
what
is
the
formula
we
decided
to
keep
all
the
tax
levies
in
the
special
service
areas
as
the
last
year,
so
no
increase
in
the
any
of
these
ss's
tax
levies.
AL
Okay:
okay,
okay,
so
we
are
done
okay,
so
it's
yeah
short
presentation
and
it's
now
yeah.
We
would
take
any
question
on
the
bonds,
the
debt
service,
the
abatement
or
the
budget.
S
So
I
have.
I
have
two
questions.
First
question:
first,
I
need
an
explanation
for
people.
I've
talked
to
about
the
post
budget
and
erica
has
given
good
explanations
in
the
past
about
this
we
have
numerous
police
positions
that
we
have
eliminated
and
those
positions
are
positions
where
people
have
said.
S
Well,
you
need
to
take
that
money
from
those
physicians
and
move
it
into
human
services
or
community
development,
and
I've
explained
what
erica
has
explained
to
all
of
us
and
what
you
can
see
in
the
budget
that
there
is
no
money
behind
backing
up
those
positions
erica.
Could
you
make
a
public
statement
about
that
concept
so
that
everybody
can
hear
it?
Q
So,
as
you
know,
we
have
made
some
pretty
significant
reductions
to
the
police
budget
as
it
pertains
to
staffing,
so
11
police
officer
positions
have
been
slated
to
be
reduced
in
this
year's
budget
in
good
years.
Q
When
we
have
all
the
revenue
that
we
typically
receive
when
we're
not
in
the
midst
of
a
worldwide
pandemic,
we
would
be
able
to
take
that
money
and
move
it
over
to
other
social
services,
but
this
year,
with
the
reduction
in
the
revenue
that
we're
seeing
to
the
tune
of
approximately
8
million
dollars
that
revenue
just
does
not
exist,
it
is
not
available
to
us.
It
is
gone.
Q
That
is
why
we
are
holding
50
positions,
either
vacant
or
eliminating
them
this
year,
and
that
is
why
we
are
doing
all
the
other
cost-cutting
reductions
that
you
see
in
this
year's
proposed
budget.
Also
to
the
the
question
about
how
we're
progressing
on
the
movement
towards
funding
our
social
services
at
a
higher
level.
I
think
the
council
is
making
good
progress.
The
alternative
to
number
one
committee
has
been
meeting
regularly
and
devising
our
process
and
plan
to
move
forward
on
providing
a
better
service
to
those
persons
who
call
9-1-1
in
mental
health
crisis.
Q
There
is
an
expectation
that
a
response
will
happen
when
somebody
dies
9-1-1
and
until
we
have
a
better
plan
in
place,
we
have
to
continue
to
provide
that
service.
So
while
we
are
devising
that
plan,
we
still
need
to
have
staff
at
the
police
department
able
to
answer
those
calls.
But
this
is
a
multi-year
effort.
I
think
we're
making
good
progress,
we're
on
the
right
track,
we're
doing
all
the
right
things,
but
it
won't
happen
overnight.
Q
I
think
we
need
being
very
strategic,
we're
being
very
thoughtful,
we're
looking
at
all
the
best
practices
and
we're
trying
to
devise
a
plan
that
is
right
for
evanston.
So,
while
we
have
made
some
significant
reductions
in
the
police
department's
budget
for
2021,
I
think
you'll
probably
see
additional
reductions
to
that
budget
in
2022.
Q
S
S
11
right
so
what
I've
explained
to
people
and
not
well
evidently,
is
that
while
there's
no
well,
there
are
no
funds
behind
those
positions.
Now
that
can
be
transferred
out
to
human
services
or
other
places.
S
Next
year
and
the
year
after
those
positions,
won't
be
funded
and
and
and
also
pension
funds
won't
be
contributed.
So
there
will
be
a
major
impact
in
that
in
that
budget,
the
police
budget,
when
you
consider
the
cost
of
11
police
officers
exactly
so
yes
significance,
all
right.
So
the
second.
The
second
point
I
need
to
tell
you
about
is
I
asked
people
about.
S
Where
would
you
like
to
see
cut
and
I,
of
course
I
knew
that
there
wouldn't
be
many
places.
People
told
me
that
one
thing
that
they're
very
concerned
about
is
they
would
like
to
see
3-1-1
operative
over
the
weekend
and
nights.
S
I
mean
they
find
it
very
discouraging
that
they
cannot
communicate
with
3-1-1
on
the
weekends,
and
I'm
just
wondering
I
mean
if
we're
looking
for
alternative
ways
to
keep
9-1-1
and
the
police
department
not
busy
when
they
shouldn't
be
getting
calls,
perhaps
restoring
3-1-1
when
they're
not
I
mean
we
used
to
have
them
on
the
weekends,
and
now
we
don't
all
the
time.
So
what
what
would
be
the
cost
and
would
you
consider
and
have
you
thought
about
restoring
three
one?
One.
Q
S
Yeah,
I'm
I
mean
I.
I
was
very
surprised
that
there
were
lots
of
responses
to
that
yeah
all
right.
Thank
you.
AM
A
AM
AM
Some
are
you
know
a
lot
aren't
you
know
our
city
is
not,
and
I
don't
want
to
just
kind
of
be
down
or
debbie
on
the
tax
levies,
but
it's
I
mean
people
are
still
calling
asking
for
food
and
rental
help
and
all
kind
of
help,
and
so
the
idea
that,
even
if
it's
just
document
says
a
hundred
dollars,
you
know
it's
a
hundred
dollars
and
it's
just
not
a
good
time
to
be
asking
people
for
more
money.
AM
So
I
would
like
to
propose
for
the
human
services
fund
that
that
cost
be
reduced
by
125
and
that
125
would
come
125
000.
that
would
come
from
the
police.
Have
a
125
000
for
the
training
allocated
that
is
not
mandatory
by
the
per
union
contract
and
you
know,
while
our
police
are
great
and
and
all
those
things
I
just
don't
think
this
is
a
year
to
be
spending
anything
extra.
As
one
of
the
speakers
mentioned,
many
companies
are
laying
off,
or
people
are
taking
20
cuts
across
the
board.
AM
We
know
our
staff
has
been
taking
cuts,
so
I
think
to
allocate
money
for
extra
training
is
not
necessary
really
and
that
125
could
even
go
towards
the
program
that
we're
working
on
in
the
subcommittee
that
we
hope
to
have
back
in
front
of
council
early
next
year.
AM
There's
also
another
fifty
thousand
in
there
for
senior
program
that
excuse
me
alderman,
city
manager.
I
have
talked
about
several
times.
I
initially
thought
that
money
would
come
from
some
money
that
we
had
allocated
for
the
food
pantry
that
we
didn't
have
to
use.
So
I
would
like
erica
if
you
can
revisit
that
in
a
budget
memo
or
such
so
that
that
again
is
not
just
another
tax
levy
for
people
I
still
am
having.
I
am
going
to
not
support
the
pension
and
police
fire.
AM
I've
spoken
to
you
know
several
pension
people
over
the
weekend
trying
to
do
my
due
diligence
if
we
do
not
fund.
In
addition,
this
year
we're
still
at
about
1.7
or
1.8
over
the
state
minimum.
I
realize
the
state
minimum
is
nowhere
near
ideal,
but
again
we're
asking
people
who
might
be
having
a
very
hard
time
financially
and
maybe
don't
even
have
a
job
to
pay.
AM
You
know,
I
would
just
say,
quote:
unquote
extra
for
the
pension
service
and
we,
as
far
as
I
know,
don't
have
any
retired,
police
or
firemen
who
are
not
receiving
their
pension
payments.
So
you
know
just
not
not
sure
this
is
the
best
year
to
be
going
above
and
beyond,
and
then
my
last
comment
is
for
the
debt
service
again
totally
understand
and
applaud
that
we
want
to
have
our
fund
balance
I'm
high
for
a
rainy
day.
AM
I
I
would
say,
but
you
know
it's
raining
now,
so
that
500
000
surplus
we
were
able
to
save
and
not
have
it
be
a
general
fund
tax
levy.
I'd
really
like
to
see
us
put
that
towards
the
debt
service
fund,
so
we
can
bring
that
levy
down
a
lot
for
not
a
lot
but.
X
AM
I've
I've
spent
time
trying
to
find
every
dollar
I
could
in
the
budget
without
making
up
a
city,
that's
not
functional,
and
I
really
just
again
implore
us
to
really
think
about
things
like
the
auto
allowance
and
and
some
other
small
ticket
items,
but
if
we
kind
of
put
them
together
and
and
and
really
be
more
creative
about
how
we
can
keep
this
tax
bread
and
all
the
citizens,
I
think
people
will
really
appreciate
it,
and
I
think
it
will
send
a
better
signature
to
our
community
that
we
understand
people
are
having
a
hard
time
financially
and
while
we're
having
to
unfortunately
cut
some
things,
you
know
we're
trying
to
do
our
best
still
to
serve
them
without
this
being
an
additional
burden
for
them.
AN
Thank
you,
alderman
fleming,
for
raising
those
issues.
When
we
get
the
information
about
the
extra
police
training,
the
120,
is
it
125.
it's
in
the
it's
in
yeah.
AN
I
think
that's
the
right
number,
but
I'd
like
to
find
out
a
little
bit
more,
and
maybe
this
has
been
in
a
budget
memo
that
I
haven't
seen
about
what
that
extra
police
training
is,
for.
You
know
at
a
time
when
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
our
police
are
using
the
most
up-to-date
practices.
AN
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
eliminating
something
that
it
may
not
be
in
the
union
contract,
but
it's
something
that
we
as
a
city
have
put
in
place
and
value
to
make
sure
our
police
are
operating
in
a
way
that
we
we
we
want.
We
want
them
to.
So
I
just
like
to
know
what
that
police
training
is
for.
If
it's,
if
it's
not
for
something
like
that,
alderman
fleming,
I
think
that
that's
a
a
good
spot
to
look
for
a
cut.
AJ
I
mean
when
I
had
the
same
question,
so
is
it
possible
to
get
either
chief
cook
or
the
city
manager
to
respond?
I
realize
that
this
evening
it's
only
for
introduction,
but
I
do
have
the
same
question.
I'm
also
looking
through
the
packet
to
see
where,
if
and
where
the
training
is
is
spelled
out.
So
thank
you
for
raising
that
question.
AM
It's
in
a
budget
memo,
I
don't
remember
what
date
it
was
from,
but
it
is
in
a
budget
memo
and
from
the
questions
that
I've
asked
it
seems
like
all
of
the
trainees
are
trainees
of
which
we've
offered
before
so
they
wouldn't
be.
They
would
be
more
of
a
refresher
courses,
not
new
courses,
but
it
isn't
one
of
the
budget,
but
I
don't
know
I'll,
try
to
look
and
see
which
date
it
is.
Okay,.
Q
A
E
Thanks
and
you
know,
I
do
have
a
lot
of
reservations
about
the
the
pensions
contributions.
So
one
thing
I
just
want
to
go
with:
it's
been
a
long
time
since
we
had
the
really
you
know
super
detailed
breakdowns
on
on
how
some
of
this
looks
and
plays
out.
So
if
we
could
get
some
information
on
what
the
you
know
going
forward,
impact
would
be
you
know,
just
kind
of
going
roughly
from
memory.
E
I
I
feel,
like
you
know,
our
levy
right
now,
like
the
police
levy,
is
roughly,
I
think,
50
to
60
percent
of
that
is
because
we're
trying
to
make
up
for
the
fact
that
it
wasn't
funded
properly
in
the
first
instance
over
a
period
of
years.
So
I
don't
want
to
compound
that
any
worse
than
it
is.
It
would
be
great
if
if
it
had
been
correctly
funded
all
these
years-
and
we
didn't
have
to
write
that
that
big
chat,
but
again
I'm
going
from
memory.
E
So
if
we
could
just
get
the
you
know
the
specifics
on,
you
know
what
those
you
know
costs
above
the
because
we're
underfunded
how
much
extra
it's
costing
us
per
year
and
then,
if
we
don't
put
the
actually
recommended
amount
and
we
put
the
state
minimum
in
what
is
the
year-to-year
going
forward
impact,
I'm
assuming
it's.
You
know
we're
going
to
pay
extra
each
year,
for
I
think
it
was
22
years
or
something
like
that
they
advertise
it
over.
E
So,
however,
that
comes
out
because
I
don't
want
to
you
know
I
don't
want
to
save
people-
you
know
50
or
100
this
year,
but
cost
them.
You
know
a
thousand
over
the
next.
You
know
10
or
20
years.
So
again
I
don't
know
what
the
numbers
are,
but
I
think
that
would
be
useful
for
all
of
us
just
to
kind
of
know
what
those
are
and
maybe
they're,
not
that
impactful.
If
they're,
not
that
impactful,
then
maybe
it's
maybe
there's
some
some
basis
for
for
making
a
change.
S
All
right,
I'm
on
the
same
track
as
alderman
wilson,
but
I
am
looking
at
the
numbers.
The
number
I
don't
have
is
the
I
don't
have
the
the
consultant's
recommendation
erica
or
hatash.
Do
you
have
that
number.
AL
S
AL
S
Lower
than
that,
okay,
I'm
looking
at
schoolmaster's
recommendation,
they
want,
he
wants
13
million.
Our
city
recommendation
is
12
million
and
we're
going
with
11
million.
Actually
so
so
we
could
actually
take
10.
We
could
actually
take
a
million
from
here
and
I
have
the
same
concern
as
you
do
alderman
wilson,
but
we
have.
We
have.
We
have
padded
the
number
from
the
auditors
every
single
year
I
mean
we've
really
gone,
we've
gone
over
what
even
some
other
aldermen
have
wanted.
S
You
know
what
the
auditor
recommends
ever
again,
unless,
of
course
you
know,
half
the
council
dies
of
covet
or
something
which
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
happen,
but
I,
but
I
think
I
think
we
ought
to
hit
this
number
I
this
is
where
this
is.
Where
we
could
we
could
we
could
we
could
save
the
reserve
fund.
I
think
I,
I
really
think
that's
an
important
spot
and
I
I
think
that
we
could
take
some
money
from
here.
S
Also
have
everybody
has
taken
furlough
days
the
fire
department
kicked
in
city
staff,
has
kicked
in
unions,
have
kicked
in,
have
the
has
the
police
department
helped
out
yet
time
time
to
help
out
all
right,
so
I'm
gonna
recommend
that
we
take
I'm
gonna.
I'm
gonna
recommend
that
we
do
take
a
million
dollars
off
this
or
or
that
we
that
we
hit
the
state
requirement
exactly
and
I'm
not
sure
exactly
what
that
number
is,
if
it's
less
than
a
million
from
here,
then
so
be
it.
AM
S
AM
Q
Is
correct?
We
are
still
negotiating
with
our
two
police
unions
to
gain
concessions
in
light
of
the
concessions
that
the
remainder
of
the
city
employees
took.
S
And
we
should
keep
that
up.
We
should
keep
that
up
all
right,
so
all
right,
so
whatever
that,
whatever
that
amount
is
for
just
this
year
and
I'm
you
know
lots
of
thoughts.
AO
Well,
how
hard
we
fought
in
in
what
2009-2010
to
increase
the
payments
of
the
pension?
After
I'm
sure
discussions
like
this
for
many
years,
it's
it's.
It's
really,
I'm
more
than
willing
to
hear
and
read
the
budget
memo
of
following
alderman
wilson's
request,
but
I
think
we
need
to
be
really
careful
about
this,
because
we
can
easily
find
ourselves
in
a
worse
place
next
year,
trying
to
save
this
year
or
appear
to
be
saving
this
year.
I
I
just
I'm
really
uncomfortable
about
it.
AO
I
also
want
to
see
the
police
training
the
125
000
as
well,
but
that
was
earmarked
for
I
I
mean
training
is
one
of
those
things
that's
been
asked
for
I
mean
when
we're
talking
about
you
know,
reallocating
money
from
the
police
budget,
I
mean
taking
it
from
enforcement
and
putting
it
in
training
is
something
that's
been
recommended
over
and
over
and
over
again.
So.
K
AO
I
I
want
to
be
very
careful
about
what
we're
doing
I'm
I'm
okay
with
the
500
000,
but
I'm
I'm
feeling
very
uncomfortable
without
more
information.
Giving
my
my
okay
on
this.
AN
Well,
I
I
echo
what
alderman
fisk
said
we,
we
went
through
really
really
intense
discussions
when
we
realized
how
out
of
whack,
we
were
with
projections
and
the
you
know.
The
state
projections
are
a
joke
and
every
you
know
every
every
expert
we
brought
in
on
that
told
us
that
that
if
you
follow
those-
and
we
have
all
the
documents
on
this,
we
we
are
gonna,
we
would
never
ever
reach
the
goal
and
and
it's
and
so
we
have
actually
gone.
AN
The
reason
why
we've
gone
above
and
beyond
is
because
we're
actually
following
intelligent
recommendations
made
to
us
by
actuarials,
and
so
I
I'm
really
reluctant
to
back
off
on
that
as
well.
I
have
the
budget
memo
open
on
what
that
the
training
budget
is
at
approximately
125
thousand
dollars,
and
it
is
the
bullet
that
the
the
points
that
it's
used
for
our
use
of
force,
learning
about
use
of
force,
de-escalation
techniques,
civil
disorder
and
crowd,
control,
defensive
tactics,
then
arson
investigation,
evidence,
technicians,
homicide
investigations.
AN
I
think
a
lot
of
these
are
exactly
the
types
of
things
that
are
we've
been
hearing
from
the
community
about
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
our
police
are
trained
in
the
the
latest
and
best
in
this.
And
these
may
not
be
required
by
the.
K
AA
AN
So
I
think
these
are
these
are
things
we
have
to
be
very
cautious
about.
There
might
be
some
things
on
this
memo
that
we
could
eliminate
for
next
year,
but
those
first
four
items
are
exactly
the
things
that
we're
hearing
from
the
community
about
in
terms
of
improving
our
peace
performance.
A
Thank
you
all
right.
We
got
alderman
wilson,
then
alderman
ruth
simmons,
then
alderman's,
lonely
and
then
rainey.
E
You
know,
basically,
I
just
think
we
shouldn't
make
any
decision
on
that
until
we
have
the
in
the
information,
I
think
we'd
be
doing
everybody
a
great
disservice,
and
you
know
you
pick
up
a
newspaper
and
you
look
at
the
way
the
state
of
illinois
has
not
handled
their
pension
themselves,
but
they
also
set
the
mandates
and
dictate.
You
know
the
way
that
the
local
municipalities
have
done
this,
and
you
know
we
started
out.
You
know
when
I
started
in
maybe
2009
the
numbers
were
shockingly
incorrect.
E
I
mean
it
was
just
kind
of
unimaginable
differences,
and
you
know
now
we're
looking
at
a
hundred
plus
million
dollar.
You
know
deficit
and
you
know
again,
I
wouldn't
see
the
exact
numbers,
but
I
think
my
recollection
is
that
of
that
35
million
dollar
tax
levy-
I
think
maybe
10
in
the
neighborhood
of
10
of
that
is-
is
just
making
up
on
back
payments
attached.
E
You
know
one
more
year,
one
more
year
any
year
is
compounding
the
problem,
so
you
know
that's
why
we're
in
the
you
know
having
some
of
these
challenges
that
we
have.
If
we
didn't
have
to
make
those
bad
payments,
we
probably
wouldn't
be
having
these
conversations.
A
Thank
you.
I
would,
I
would
add,
to
that
budget
memo.
I
like
city
staff,
to
look
at
if
there's
an
if
we
were
to
reduce
that
and
just
do
the
state
minimum
if
we
think
there's
a
an
impact
on
how
how
the
credit
rating
agencies
your
s,
p
and
moody's
would
look
at
the
city,
because
I
remember
you
talking
before
about
you
know
wanting
to
see
that
we're
fulfilling
commitments
that
we've
made
in
the
past.
This
is
certainly
one
that
we've
made
and
we've
always
kept.
A
Obviously
we're
in
pretty
extenuating
circumstances
right
now
with
the
pandemic,
but
I'd
be
I'm
interested
in
that
as
well.
If
that's
gonna,
we
don't
want
to
find
ourselves
in
a
situation
like
the
state
of
illinois
with
their
with
their
credit
rating,
which
is
practically
jump
on
status,
ultimate
recipients.
D
Thank
you,
mayor
haggerty.
Are
these
memos
able
to
be
prepared
for
our
wednesday
meeting?
We
have
a
joint
fifth,
second
and
sixth
ward
meeting
and
I'm
unable
to
take
any
action
today,
although
this
is
for
introduction,
I'm
not
okay
with
having
any
action,
or
I
would
have
to
vote
no
on
introduction,
just
based
on
the
outstanding
information
needed
and
our
commitment
to
have
a
community
meeting
with
our
awards.
Q
Yes,
holden
simmons.
I
think
we
have
enough
information
to
handle
the
two
that
have
been
requested:
pensions
and
police
training
ones
I'll
have
to
check
with
staff
about
okay.
D
Thank
you,
and,
in
addition
to
that,
can
staff
release
a
newsletter
just
as
a
reminder
for
our
budget
meetings,
for
at
least
for
the
fifth
ward.
Now
the
sixth
and
the
second
may
have
gone
out
already,
but
I
haven't
had
one
and
I
would
like
an
update
if
that's
okay
to
the
ward
sure
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
aldermen
fleming
and
then
braithwaite
and
then
rainey.
AM
We've
answered
that
by.
As
you
know,
audrey
rainey
pointed
out
earlier,
we
got
rid
of
11
positions
that
don't
have
any
money
to
them
and
now
we're
telling
them
we're
going
to
offer
another
service
that
we
hope
you
know
meets,
need
and
releases
the
burden
from
the
police.
But
they
have
to
now
pay
another
tax
levy.
AM
A
Thank
you
elder
one
alderman
braithwaite
and
alderman.
AJ
AJ
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
think
just
with
this
first
item
and
we
still
have
quite
a
few
to
go
through.
There
have
been
a
number
of
questions
that
have
been
asked.
I
I
do
want
to
follow
up
with
alderman
simmons
and
I
don't
know
how
old
have
been
suffered
him,
but
part
of
what
led
us
to
this.
To
the
request
of
our
joint
meeting
was
the
issue
of
property
taxes.
AJ
We
have
seen
that
we
all
have
a
working
knowledge
of
what
it
looks
like
for
our
residents,
but
part
of
my
con
concern
is
the
impact
to
all
of
our
local
businesses,
with
within
only
the
footprint
of
the
second
ward.
We
have
two
shopping
centers
part
of
downtown,
a
large
footprint
with
the
industrial
area
and
some
smaller
shopping
centers.
So
I
don't
know
how
we
feel
I
mean.
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
questions
that
erica.
AJ
My
question
is:
can
we
hold
this
item
over
and
if
we
all
get
the
information
that
we
need,
then
we
can
always
suspend
the
rules
and
do
it
for
action
and
introduction,
but
I
would
agree
with
alderman
simmons.
At
least
I
I
don't
feel
comfortable
voting
on
the
tax
levy
without
understanding
that
impact
to
our
businesses
and,
more
importantly,
having
that
conversation
that
we
had
scheduled
with
our
residents
on
sev
on
this
wednesday.
A
I
thought
I
guess
we'll
look
to
you
erica.
I
thought
in
the
past
again
we're
following
the
approach
that
we
I
thought
would
that
we
followed
in
the
past
that,
even
if
these
are
approved
for
introduction,
we
can
still
make
changes,
because
we
still
have
the
budget
balancing
worksheet
and
all
of
that,
so
we're
still
going
to
be
doing
work
all
month,
but
this
sort
of
checks,
the
box.
I
I
personally
don't
like
the
idea
of
an
introduction
and
action
on
a
budget
item
in
one
in
one
meeting.
A
I
want
the
public
to
know
that
they
still
have
more
time
to
talk
to
their
aldermen
and
provide
feedback
but
erica.
Why
don't
you
elaborate
on.
Q
This
it
would
be
steph's
recommendation
to
do
the
introduction
this
evening,
but
there
still
is
certainly
plenty
of
time
for
us
to
hold
additional
meetings.
We
could
have
additional
council
meetings
if
necessary.
We
still
have
next
week
monday,
open
november
16th,
and
if
we
had
continued
discussion
on
the
23rd
and
the
council
at
that
point
in
time
chose
to
hold
the
action
on
adopting
the
budget.
We
could
move
that
action
of
adoption
to
november
30th.
We
have
that
monday
night
open
as
well,
so
we
have
basically
the
next
three
mondays
for
additional
conversations.
A
A
Yes,
yes,
all
right,
alderman,
rainey
and
then
russians.
S
All
right,
the
my
concern
is
that
there's
a
memo,
a
request
to
our
our
pension
consultant
or
auditor,
whatever
you
call
it
that
we
let
that
that
outfit
know
that
there's
a
discussion
about
reducing
the
reducing
the
budget
to
the
state
requirement
and
what
impact
will
that
have
on
number
one,
our
our
bond
ratings
and
number
two,
a
one-year
reduction
to
that
amount
going
forward.
What
what
impact
will
that
have?
Q
S
We
at
that,
I
will
invite
you,
and
can
we
get
it
before
the
next
meeting
so
that
we
can
think
about
it
and
look
at
some
other
things.
Second
thing
I
would
like
is:
I
would
like
I
would
like
a
communication
to
the
council
from
the
cops
about
what
they
plan
on
doing
about
contributing
to
helping
us
out.
Here
I
mean
it's
always
done
behind
closed
doors
and
it's
always
executive.
S
You
know
private
conversations
between
lawyers
and
city
managers
and
we're
never
involved
in
it
and
we're
always
told
what
the
outcome
is.
I
think
I
think
they
ought
to
know
that
we
want
to
know
what
they're
going
to
give
up
or
help
us
out
with
I
I
you
can
tell
them
at
least
one
alderman
would
like
to
know
what
are
they
thinking
and
why
is
it
taking
them
so
long?
We're
going
to
pass
this
budget
in
the
next
month
and-
and
we
haven't
heard
from
them.
D
Thank
you,
and
this
is
just
more
to
process
again
waiting
for
our
meeting
on
wednesday.
If
we
have
future
meetings
for
further
discussion-
and
this
is
a
working
document,
then
why
do
we
feel
it's
necessary
to
move
for
introduction
today
and
not
continue
working
on
it,
since
we
have
more
meetings,
that's
the
process.
D
So
if
that
so
my
question
is:
why
is
it
necessary?
It
that's
the
process
and
the
past
practice,
but
if
we're
trying
to
listen
to
the
residents-
and
particularly
our
meeting-
is
on
wednesday
for
us
to
take
any
advance
action,
although
it's
just
for
introduction
like
what
would
that,
how
would
that
create
any
barriers
for
us
to
continue
work
on
working
on
it.
K
Q
Right
now
it's
just
a
scheduling
issue
and
that
we
don't
have
any
other
meetings
currently
scheduled
other
than
the
23rd,
which
is
projected
to
be
when
we
would
adopt
it.
So
if
the
council
wishes
to
not
introduce
it
tonight,
we
could
have
a
meeting
next
monday
night
and
we
could
introduce
it
at
that
point
in
time
or
we
could
introduce
it
on
the
23rd
and
then
have
a
meeting
on
the
30th
for
adoption
proposed.
So
if
any
of
those
options
sound
like
a
good
prospect
for
the
council,
please
let
me
know.
D
No,
I
don't
it
seems
like
there's
a
month.
We
have.
We
have
two
more
mondays,
even
if
we
just
had
for
an
introduction
on
the
next
meeting
and
then
pastor
for
introduction
and
then
continued
with
a
goal
of
a
november
23rd
action.
A
A
Correct
so
we'd
have
to
schedule
schedule
the
meeting
or
you
could
say
we're
not
going
to
have
it
next
next,
a
meeting
next
monday
hold
the
meeting
on
the
23rd
and
knowing
that
you
have
to
then
have
a
meeting
on
november,
30th
and
so
on.
The
23rd
would
be
for
introduction
in
the
30th
for
action,
correct,
erica.
Q
That's
correct
and
30th
would
be
after
the
holiday
weekend.
A
After
thanksgiving
weekend,
okay,
alderman
wilson,
what
oh
okay,
let
me
go,
let's
number
eight
wait,
sorry
sure.
E
And
I
I
in
my
mind,
I'm
just
thinking
you
know:
if
we,
if
we
go
ahead
and
introduce
it,
then
we
have
options
right.
If
you
don't
introduce
it,
you
don't
have
any
options.
You
automatically
have
a
meeting,
so
you
know
if
we
need
the
extra
meeting.
If
we
need
multiple
extra
meetings.
That's
you
know
fine.
You
know
we'll
take
as
much
time
as
we
need,
but
you
know
this
sort
of
like
locks
us
and
the
community
into
you,
know
extra
meetings
that
you
might
or
might
not
need
to
have.
E
So
I
think
it's
useful
in
having
conversations
with
people
that
I
talk
to
about
this
is
you
know.
A
E
You
know
this
is
where
it's
at
it's
been
introduced.
We're
still
talking
about
it.
Look
at
the
current
iteration
look
at
those
budget
memos.
You
know.
E
Want
to
suspend
the
rules,
no
matter
what,
because
it's
just
it's,
it's
not
fair
to
people.
People
expect
two
readings,
so
you
know.
Clearly
people
are
following
this
closely
they're
concerned
about
a
lot
of
different
points,
but
I
just
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
go
ahead
and
introduce
it
again.
E
So
we
have
options
and
we're
not
locked
into
this,
and-
and
you
know
I
don't
know
if
people
are
going
to
travel-
I
mean
we
can
do
it
on
zoom
and
stuff
and
I'm
fine,
but
I
don't
know
what
anybody
else's
circumstances
are,
and
you
know
I
don't
know
what
people
in
the
community's
circumstances
are.
I
think
people
kind
of
you
know
plan
on
the
on
the
scheduled
meetings
and-
and
we
even
heard
a
little
bit
about
that
tonight
about
you,
know
notice
and
changes.
So
I
don't
want
to
deviate
too
much
from
that.
AJ
AJ
Unfortunately,
I
didn't
have
my
regularly
scheduled
ward
meeting
this
november
to
discuss
it
and
that's
going
to
be
my
first
opportunity
specifically
around
the
issue
of
of
raising
property
taxes,
and
I
think
for
for
my
own
comfortability,
it's
a
bit
ingenuous
for
me
to
say
we'll
change
it
later
after
supporting
the
introduction.
So
if
there's
not
enough
support
for
the
whole,
then
well.
Z
AP
Nick
alderman
rainey
had
a
motion
to
amend
that
was
seconded.
I
don't
know
if
you
acknowledge.
B
I
apologize
just
as
as
far
as
rules.
This
is
a
special
order
of
business,
correct.
K
B
Well,
no,
I
mean,
I
believe
it
shouldn't
be
a
special
order
of
business,
but
yes
it
as
it
is
designated.
You
know
you
can't
hold
reformation.
AN
I
I
don't
think
any
of
us
want
to
come
to
a
meeting
on
the
monday
after
thanksgiving
weekend.
I
think,
since
we
three
aldermen
have
made
a
commitment
to
hear
from
the
residents
before
they
have
a
discussion
of
the
budget,
that
we
should
have
a
meeting
next
monday
night,
I'm
sorry
to
add
an
extra
extra
meeting,
but
that's
not
unusual
during
our
budget
discussions
to
have
extra
meetings
added.
AN
I
think
we
should
have
a
meeting
next
monday
night
for
introduction
and
that,
as
aldrin
wilson
said,
gives
us
lots
of
time,
and
we
won't
be
rushing
so
that
we
have
an
introduction
next
monday
night
and
then
we
have
the
goal
of
completing
the
budget
on
the
23rd.
And
if
we
don't,
then
we
have
the
30th
as
a
backup.
But
I
don't
think
we
should
wait
till
the
23rd
to
introduce
that's
not
giving
the
public
enough
time.
D
AN
I
agree
so
I'm
sorry
alderman
russ
simmons.
I
didn't
understand,
that's
what
you
were
proposing,
because
I
think
that's
what
we
should
do.
I
mean
this
is
a
really
big
topic
and
having
having
one
night
committed
to.
It
is
not
unusual
during
a
budget
session
but
the
budget
season,
so
I
would
propose
that
we
meet
next
monday
night
and
the
topic
be
just
the
budget.
A
So
nick
question-
for
you
I
mean-
we've
got
this
obviously
noticed
and
on
this
agenda
and
a
whole
bunch
of
items
that
are
all
special
orders
of
business.
AP
City
council
rule
1812
allows
if
two
alderman
requests
to
hold
it
over
to
another
meeting,
but
it
has
to
be
a
regular
city
council
meeting.
It
can't
be
a
special
meeting.
B
Just
for
clarification,
nick,
you
mean
table
to
another.
You
can't
hold.
AP
AP
A
AP
He
says
it
can
be
made
at
a
future
time.
That's
a
special
of
our
business,
but
1812
says.
If
it's
on
the
agenda
for
special
order,
two
aldermen
say
I
don't
even
know
I'm
actually
arguing
with
the
clerk.
The
special
order
of
business
can
be
held
at
the
request
of
two
aldermen,
but
it
has
to
be
at
a
regularly
scheduled
city
council
meeting.
It
can't
be
a
special
meeting,
as
you
guys
are
suggesting.
A
So
that
would
be
the
23rd
and
then
it
would
have
to
go
to
the
30th
alderman
wilson.
E
So
yeah
I
mean
again
that
goes
back
to
the
options
we
can
have
and
nick
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
we
can
have
an
additional
meeting
to
discuss
the
budget
for
discussion
purposes
only
in
in
the
interim,
so
in
other
words,
it
doesn't
have
to
necessarily
be
for
action
at
the
next
discussion.
Is
that
correct.
AN
E
So
let's
say
we
introduced
it
tonight,
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
it,
a
lot
more
over
the
next
weeks.
If
we
add
an
interim
meeting
next
monday,
for
example,
for
the
purpose
of
discussing
the
budget
memos,
then
we
can
have
conversations
about
that.
I
think-
and
I
just
you
know,
but
I
might
be
wrong.
I
my
recollection
is
that
we
can
have
a
discussion
meeting
on
these
topics
without
taking
action.
E
E
But
if
we
don't
introduce
it,
then
you
know
then
we're
looking
at
the
last
day
to
introduce
and
then
we're
having
to
add
another
meeting
which
isn't
fair
to
the
public,
so
you're
yeah.
I
don't
want
to
suspend
the
rules,
no
matter.
What
and
you
know
not
giving
people
enough
notice
on
you
know
when
that's
going
to
get
passed
is,
is
not
fair
either.
So
again,
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
go
ahead
and
get
it
introduced
and
have
the
conversations
between
now
and
the
action
date.
B
Well,
just
for
clarification,
if
nick
was
right
to
aldermen,
have
made
a
motion
to
hold
this,
it
would
be
held,
but,
unfortunately
corporation
council.
The
reason
you're
arguing
with
the
clerk
is
because
the
clerk
understands
the
rules
and
if
you
read
rule
18.12,
it
says
at
the
request
of
two
alderman
any
matter
except
a
special
order
of
business
except
a
special.
Y
AP
You're
absolutely
right:
if
the
mayor
asked
you
for
an
interpretation
of
city
council
rules,
it
would
be
appropriate,
but
he
didn't.
He
asked
me
and
I
apologize.
You
were
absolutely
correct.
Yes,
rule,
it
cannot
be
held
over
to
a
next.
B
But
a
motion
to
hold-
I
I
I
by
the
count,
emotion
by
the
council
and
the
majority
of
members,
and
if
we
can
get
this
right
from
now
on,
where
special
order
of
business
may
only
be
placed
on
the
docket.
When
a
majority
of
the
council
has
voted
on
it,
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
not
taking
away
the
rights
of
members,
because
aldermen
ruth
simmons
and
alden
braithwaite
had
the
right
to
hold
this,
because
we
weren't
following
the
rules
in
the
first
place.
The
way
this
was
placed
on
the
agenda.
Q
Q
Y
S
K
S
We
just
had
a
saturday
meeting
that
started
at
nine
o'clock
in
the
morning
and
usually
ended
at
12
or
12
30,
and
it
was
a
total
total
educational
and
discussion
meeting
and
we
discussed
everything
had
citizen
comment
and
that's
that's
usually
how
we
did
it.
We
always
had
an
interim
meeting
before
we
passed
the
budget
at
the
next
city
council
meeting
a
week
later
so.
S
There
is
there
is,
it
is
every
single
ordinance
is
introduced
and
it
sits
and
then
it's
it's,
it's
discussed
what
we've
been
doing
lately
is
when
we
have
an
introduction,
we
we
beat
the
ordinance
to
death
the
night
it's
introduced
and
that
never
that
was
not
the
way
the
system
worked.
It
was
introduced
so
that
people
could
then
take
it.
You
know
the
committee
would
would
work
it
over
and
then
we'd
introduce
it
and
then
at
the
meeting
where
action
was
taken.
S
D
Right,
so
what
are
we
gonna
do
because
we
have
a
meeting
and
I
have
a
responsibility
to
the
residents
to
have
a
meeting
and
discussion
and
hear
from
them
before
I
take
any
action.
So
where
are
we
at?
I
mean
there
was
a
motion
and
a
second,
but
we
can't
do
it
because
it's
a
special
order,
like
I.
S
D
AJ
S
D
A
What
alderman
fisk
do
you
have
anything?
You
had
your
hand
up
a
second.
A
So
we're
about
to
call
the
question.
I
just
have
one
question
of
the
maybe
the
city
attorney
or
the
city
manager,
if
we're
about
to
take
a
vote
now
on
ordinance
110-0-20
for
introduction,
if
it
fails
and
all
the
tax
levies
fail
in
this
vote,.
A
Just
follow
me
if
it
fails,
what
does
that
mean.
K
Q
A
A
B
Offer
a
parliamentary
suggestion
it
would
be
to
to
table
the
items
instead
of
voting.
No
on
the
introduction,
you
just
vote
to
table
the
introduction
until
the
meeting
that
you'd
like
to
have
the
introduction.
A
Take
the
let's
take
the
vote
on
this
and
on
on
moving
it
for
introduction.
Okay,.
C
C
A
S
Yes,
sp2
staff
recommends
review
and
adoption,
and
this
is
a
series
of
resolutions.
S
S
A
AP
Order,
mr
mayor,
it
does
look
as
though
the
resolutions
98
are
20
through
112
r20
are
for
action
not
for
introduction.
That's.
A
Okay,
all
right
seeing
no
discussion
city
clerk.
Can
you
please
take
the
role
on.
A
C
A
Ssp2
resolutions
98-r-20
through
112-r-20,
abating,
taxis
taxes
levied
for
the
year
2020
passes
for
action
by
the
city
council
on
a
9-0
vote.
Alderman
rainey.
Could
you
move
or
introduce
esp
tree.
T
S
Yes,
this
is
ordinance
112
020,
which
levies
the
annual
property
tax
for
general
operations,
human
services
fund,
illinois,
municipal
retirement
fund,
imrf
police
and
fire
pension
funds
and
the
solid
waste
fund,
totaling
35
million
nine
hundred
seventy
thousand
one
hundred
forty
three
dollars
as
extended,
including
a
three
percent
loss
factor.
This
represents
an
increase
of
3.2
percent
over
the
2019
levy
of
34
million
851
000
18
as
expensive
as
extended.
This
is
for
introduction.
I
move
approval.
S
S
B
C
C
C
A

Thank
you
so
so
sp9
ordinance
118-0-20
passes
the
evanston
city
council
on
a
9-0
vote
for
introduction.
So
this
concludes
the
special
orders
of
business
that
were
all
budget
related
again
for
anyone.
That's
watching
these
pass
for
introductions.
The
evanston
city
council's
going
to
continue
to
talk
about
the
budget
is
probably
going
to
continue
to
make
adjustments
to
the
budget
before
final
votes
taken
for
action
on
these
items,
alderman
rainey.
Could
you
now
move
sp
10.
S
Sp
10
is
approval
of
80
000
in
cdbg
cv,
funding
for
connections
for
the
homeless,
for
homeless,
shelter
operations,
specifically
to
provide
three
meals
per
day
for
homeless
persons
in

margarita.
Inn
connections

contracted
with

provide

non-congregate
shelter
for
up
to
65
vulnerable
residents
and
protect
them
from
covid
19..
S
I'm
wondering
if
I
should
read
about
the
funding
source.
I
will.
The
city
received
a
million
five
hundred
eighty
six
thousand
three
hundred
seventy
dollars
and
cares
act.
Cbbg
cv
funding
in
two
allocations
to
address
the
needs
of
homelessness
and
unstably
housed
families
and
individuals
and
other
impacts
of
the
corona
virus.
S
626
496
dollars
is
budgeted
for
public
services,
including
homeless
shelter,
operations
and
food
assistance,
approval
of
80

operations.
Food
will
leave

496
dollars
to
be
allocated
to
eligible
public
services
activities
in
this
category.
This
is
for
action
and
I
move
approval
and
I
need.
S
S
All
right
earlier
tonight
I
asked
city
manager
storyline
to
send
a
note
from
me
to
all
of
you
regarding
an
issue
in
my
ward,
I'm
having
to
do
with
this
very
kind
of
a
problem
at
the
corner
of
howard
and
asbury.
S
You
know
grocery
carts,
I
think
four
or
five
tonight,
maybe
six
by
now,
probably
30
40
pounds
of
clothing
human
waste
urine,
stuffed
under
under
the
benches
there's
a
beautiful
plaza
that
was
built
there
when
cbs
was
built.
S
However,
you
know
we
have
been.
We
have
been
told
to
stop
calling
the
cops
to
call
social
workers
which
I
have
been
doing.
I've
been
calling
connections
for
the
homeless,
who
said
they
can't
do
anything
about
this,
and
if
you
look
at
the
photos
that
you
receive
from
erica
storley,
you
will
see
that
it
is
a
tragedy
at
this
corner.
S
S
S
S
S
S
S
D
Have
we
had
a
official
response
from
connections
on
yes,.
S
There's
they
say
they
cannot
touch
other
people's
property,
there's
nothing.
They
can
do
that's
what
they
say:
yeah
they're
there
all
night,
long
all
day,
long
people.
One
day
there
was
a
full-size
mattress
in
in
the
shelter,
but
now
there's
just
terrible
odorificus,
clothing
and
well
you
see
the
pictures,
I
don't
they
say
a
thousand
words.
I
don't
have
to
explain.
AN
D
S
No,
I'm
not
saying
that
I'm
saying
that
I
don't
have
any
reports
from
anybody.
Who's
actually
talked
to
them.
No,
the
police
have
gone
out
there
and
actually
collected
and
gotten
rid
of
the
quota.
I
don't
know
what
happened,
but
now
it
it
it
just
it's
just
a
vicious
circle.
It
just
keeps
happening
over
and
over
and
over
and
over.
D
S
But
I've
been
working
on
this
for
at
least
four
or
five
months.
I
mean
it's,
it's
just
it.
I
I
finally
decided,
when
I
saw
this
item
on
this
agenda
tonight,
that
this
is
what
I
had
one
of
the
residents
go
out
and
take
these
pictures
at
five
o'clock
tonight,
so
that
it
would
be
up-to-date
current
and
come
here
and
ask
you
to
ask
to
do
the
same
thing.
I've
been
asking
only
to
get
eight
other
people
to
help
me,
and
maybe
maybe
I'll
get
some
help.
I
don't
know,
and
but
I'm
not.
S
AN
AJ
AJ
AJ
Okay
got
it
now.
I
see
it
their.
Q
S
When,
when
did
anybody
went
up
well,
I
think
I'd
like
to
see
this
in
writing.
I
don't
want
to
have
an
argument
on
online,
but
I
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
somebody's
offering
services,
but
I
would
I
would
like
to
see
a
report
on
that,
those
that
those
bags
and
things
have
been
there
now
for
at
least
three
weeks-
and
nobody
has
touched
them
because
they're
growing
daily.
AJ
Thank
you.
Unfortunately,
I
missed
the
ap
w
meeting,
so
I
just
had
two
questions
and
I
don't
know
if
someone
from
connections
is
still
on.
My
question
is:
are
we
prioritizing
evanston
residents?
It
just
says
vulnerable
residents
and
I
don't
know
if
anyone
brought
that
up.
But
but
that's
one
question
I
would
like
to
have
addressed.
I
think,
the
last
round
that
we
did
this
and
this
may
be
anecdotal,
but
I
did
hear
comments
of
of
residents
coming
from
the
city
of
chicago
to
get
housed
here
in
evanston.
AJ
So
I
would
want
to
prioritize
evanston
residents
and
then
in
terms
of
the
support
going
to
local
restaurants.
I
didn't
see
it
in
this
report
and
I'm
just
curious
for
the
first
round.
If
we
are
prioritizing
evanston
residents
and
again,
if
someone's
on
the
phone
from
connections,
I
think
it
would
be
great
to
know
which
businesses
received
it
the
first
round
and
what
does
that?
Look
like
the
second
round
and.
P
I'm
here
alderman
braithwaite-
this
is
betty
connections.
P
In
answer
to
your
question
about
the
people
that
are
in
the
shelter
at
the
margarita
end
that,
throughout
our
hotel
operations
about
75
percent
of
the
people
that
were
in
the
hotels
were
from
evanston
and
a
similar
75
percent
african-american
or
latinx,
we
have
gotten
two
separate
tranches
of
money
to
house
residents
out
of
the
hotels.
P
The
money
that
comes
from
the
city
of
evanston
can
only
be
used
for
evanston
residents
who
are
being
housed
in
evanston.
There's
been
certain
exceptions
for
very
large
families
where
we
couldn't
find
an
apartment
big
enough
in
the
community,
but
I
think
there's,
maybe
one
or
two
of
those
cook
county
gives
us
the
rest
of
this
funding
and
look
for
those
residents
they
they
can
go
anywhere
in
the
county.
AJ
P
So
the
money
that
we
have
been
paying
for
a
restaurant
for
for
buying
food
from
restaurants
has
heretofore
been
paid
for
by
our
private
fundraising
and
through
cook
county
through
the
cook
county
cares
act
money
the
restaurants
that
we've
worked
with
have
been
almost
entirely
from
evanston,
I'm
I'm
trying
to
think
of
an
exception,
but-
and
I
can
get
you
the
full
list
of
everyone-
you've
worked
with
we're
currently
working
with
gosh.
AJ
That's
that's
fine,
but
I
think
I
want
to
just
it
is
11
o'clock
right,
so
you
address
the
question
on
the
front
end.
Thank
you
very
much
and
when
you
have
a
moment
to
share
that
information,
I
would
look
forward
to
receiving
it
if
you
choose
to
share
it
with
members
of
council.
That
would
be
great
if
everyone
there's
someone
else
that
has
the
same
question
that
I'm
ready
for.
P
Yeah
some
of
this
information
is
on
our
website,
but
some
of
the
restaurants
that
we
work
with,
but
I'm
happy
to
forward
it
to
the
city
manager
and
council
members,
whoever
and
then.
Similarly,
we've
worked
to.
We've
worked
to
decrease
our
food
costs,
we're
housing
as
as
the
memo
mentioned
70,
I
think,
sometimes
even
more
than
that
at
the
margarita
at
any
given
time
as
we
move
them
in
their
journey
toward
housing.
P
We
were
originally
spending
about
twenty
dollars
per
day
per
person
or
the
for
restaurant
food
for
three
meals
a
day
and
we've
recently
been,
as
the
community
is
more
willing
to
do,
volunteer
work.
We've
recently
been
decreasing.
Our
food
costs
there
to
under,
I
think,
we're
under
10
a
day
now
for
those
three
meals,
but
the
the
meals
that
we're
purchasing
are
going
still
to
local
restaurants.
A
AK
Well,
I
just
was
going
to
sympathize
with
the
situation
that
alderman
rainey
is
describing
and
it
is
just
extremely
difficult.
We
had
a
a
woman
who
was
living
for
months
in
the
little
shelter
on
central
street.
AK
This
was
two
or
three
years
ago,
and
I
know
that
people
from
connections
would
meet
with
her
regularly
try
to
befriend
her,
and
eventually
they
established
enough
of
a
connection
with
her
that
that
she
did
move
they
were
able
to
get
her
into
a
shelter,
but
but
it
just
it's
a
super
long
intensive
process,
and
I
I
simply
I
you
know
full
of
sympathy
for
the
situation
and
it's
just,
but
it's
it's
not
that
people
don't
want
to
try
to
do
something.
It's
just
difficult.
A
all
right,
seeing
on
city
clerk,
could
you
please
take
the
role
on
sb10?
B
C
A
A
10
passes
the
city
council
on
a
9-0
vote,
and
that
was
for
action
tonight,
betty
just
before
we
move
on
on
behalf
of
everybody,
on
the
city
council
and
just
in
our
city.
We're
really
really
appreciative
of
all
that
you
and
all
your
staff
and
partners
at
connections
have
done
to
take
care
of
the
homeless
during
this
really
difficult
time,
and
particularly
pleased
with
the
partnerships
you've
had
with
evanston
restaurants
to
keep
that
money
in
our
local
economy
and
to
support
so
many
of
the
restaurants.
A
So
thank
you,
alderman
rainey.
Could
you
please
move
sp-11.
S
Yes,
this
is
sp11
approval
of
prioritization
methodology
for
cdbg
cv,
funding,
rent
assistance
program,
so
staff
is
recommending.
The
council
approve
the
proposed
rent
assistance,
prioritization
system
for
evanson
residents
with
2019
incomes
at
or
below
80
percent
of
the
area,
median
income
adjusted
for
household
size
and
who
have
lost
income
due
to
cobit
19,
as
required
by
cares
act.
AJ
A
All
right,
so
this
has
been
moved
and
seconded
alderman
fleming.
AM
Yeah
I
talked
to
sarah
earlier.
I
appreciate
the
thought
that
went
into
making
sure
the
people
with
the
most
need
can
get
support
here,
and
the
only
thing
that
I
did
not
was
not
clear
on
was
the
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
administration
of
the
program.
So
sarah
was
able
to
explain
that.
Unfortunately,
this
has
lots
of
steps
to
approval
and
application
process
and
all,
but
my
my
other
things
here.
AM
Also
utilize,
our
staff.
For
some
of
this
I
mean
we
have
staff
who
you
know.
I've
seen
human
services
have
been
working
with
general
assistance
folks
for
years
and
other
people
who
I
assume
are
going
to
qualify
and
if
we
have
our
you
know,
relationship
and
establishment
there
and
then
to
make
them
go
to
another
agency
and
go
through
a
whole
I'll,
say
rick,
I'm
a
row
for
lack
of
a
better
word,
I'm
just
concerned
with
putting
you
know.
AM
We
might
potentially
put
more
barriers
and
if
we
say
you
can
only
work
with
x,
y
and
z
agency,
if
we
have
capable
staff
in
the
building
who
are
able
to
also
get
people
enrolled
into
such
program,
and
then
you
know
anything,
you
can
do
to
help
them
get
qualified
sooner.
I
know
you
know
you
don't
work
for
the
federal
government,
but
anything
you
can
do
to
get
the
process
a
little
bit
more
streamlined.
I
know
lots
of
people
who
are
applying
for
all
the
different
programs
available.
AM
A
B
Yeah
alderman
fleming
hi
frisk.
C
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Clerk

the

for
action
on

we're
now
going
to

Tonight

works
committee
meeting

well
as

a
minute,
look
at
the
agenda
and
tell
me
which
items
you'd
like
to
remove
or
if
any
were

here,
let's
see
so
okay,
so
I
moved
the
consent
agenda.
Is
that
what
I
say
yeah.
A
All
right,
so
the
consent
agenda
has
been
moved
in
seconded
city
clerk.
Could
you
please
take
the
role
in
the
consensus.
C
B
C
D
K
B
G
A
AN
Yes,
p4
ordinance,
109.020
amending
the
sony
map
to
rezone
1900
sherman
avenue
from
the
r6
general
residential
district
to
the
c1a
commercial
mixed
use
district
and
granting
a
special
use
permit
for
a
planned
development
at
1900
sherman
avenue.
I
move
introduction.
AN
AO
Fisk,
yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
read
this
at
financial
development.
I'll
read
it
again
here
at
council,
a
longtime
friend
and
treasurer
of
my
2021
re-election
campaign
committee
is
employed
by
camaro's
limited
consultant
to
the
housing
authority
of
cook
county
on
the
1900
sherman
project,
to
avoid
any
appearance
of
a
conflict
of
interest
and
to
ensure
public
trust
in
the
process.
I
am
abstaining
from
the
discussion
and
vote
on
the
proposed
development
at
committee
and
at
council.
A
AJ
B
Him
all
right,
alderman.
A
A
All
right,
a
lot
of
enthusiasts
has
them
in
that.
Second,
there
alderman
fisk.
AO
Yes,
I
asked
for
this
to
come
off
the
agenda.
I
had
an
inquiry
from
a
resident
who
was
asking
why
we
were
including
specifying
aldermen
for
membership
on
the
committee
when
we
don't
appear
to
do
that
for
any
of
our
other
standing
committees,
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
someone
could
explain
that.
AJ
AO
Yeah-
and
I
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
again,
the
resident
was
asking
why,
when
we
don't
do
that
for
any
of
our
other
standing
committees,
why
we're
doing
that
in
this
case?
So
that
was
that
was
the
question.
AO
You
invite
him,
that's
if
that's
the
response
that
that's
fine
and
I
will
go
back
with
that
yeah
and
thank
you
for
the
explanation.
AJ
If
I
could
respectfully
add
just
one
last
piece,
any
member,
as
you
know,
council,
is
welcome
to
participate
or
and
also
any
resident
participate
in
those
meetings,
as
they
are
all
public
and
also
calendared
or
notified.
You
know
noticed
on
our
calendar,
so
hopefully
he
or
she
comfortable
coming
to
the
next
meeting.
AO
AJ
A
B
K
B
AJ
C
A
All
right,
thank
you,
so
r2,
ordinance,
102-0-20
or
o-20
passes
the
city
council
for
action.
Nine
to
zero
vote.
Alderman
bruce
simmons.
Can
you
move
r3.
D
Yes,
r3
city
council
recommends
adoption
of
ordinance
103.020
setting
compensation
for
the
city
of
evanston
city
council,
move
approval.
S
Yes,
I
would
like
to
move
to
hold
this
to
the
next
council
meeting.
D
AF
A
All
right
so
r2
ordinance,
103
0-20,
is
held
to
the
next
meeting,
which
will
be
on
11
23.
AO
A
So
the
next
meeting,
which
is
november
23rd
okay,
that
concludes
the
the
items
then,
that
have
been
removed
from
the
consent
agenda.
We're
now
going
to
move
to
call
of
awards
and
today
we're
going
to
start
with
alderman
fleming.
AM
Thank
you
two
things.
I
wanted
to
send
my
condolences
to
larry
and
gene
murphy
on
the
loss
of
their
son.
They
everyone,
I
think,
I'm
sure,
knows
them
great
neighbors
in
the
ninth
ward,
and
also
to
remind
ninth
court
residents
that
we
are
having
a
ward
meeting
this
saturday
at
10.
A
Thank
you
thank
older
woman,
alderman
fisk.
AO
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I'm
sure
everybody,
I
hope
had
the
same
response
I
did
on
saturday
and
feeling
like
a
great
weight,
had
been
lifted
off
our
our
shoulders
and
a
happy
day.
I
I
will
say
I'm
glad
everybody
voted
and
proud
of
our
city.
I
I
guess
one
of
the
things
I
I
want
to
mention
is
that
so
we
started
our
meetings
at
4
30
today
and
it's
now
11
15..
AO
This
is
an
awfully
long
time
to
sit
with
just
a
10
minute
break
really
between
meetings
and
I'm
not
sure
it's
terribly
healthy.
So
I'm
going
to
suggest
that
if,
if
we
have
meetings
of
this
length
in
the
future
that
we
take
some
regular
breaks
to
stand
up
and
stretch
and
make
sure
that
our
our
arms
and
legs
are
working
okay
in
our
brains
as
well.
So,
mr
mayor,
if
you
can
help
keep
us
healthy,
I
would
appreciate
that
all.
AO
AJ
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
First,
I
want
to
send
prayers
to
the
bost
family.
Just
regarding
recent
tragedy.
We
were
informed
more
needs
to
come
on
that
I
would
agree
with
the
sentiment
of
others.
I
think
saturday
was
an
amazing
day
for
our
nation
and
taking
back
the
white
house
as
well
as
electing
our
first
vice.
Excuse
me
first
female
black
vice
president,
which
is
exciting
for
many
within
our
community.
AJ
AJ
Seven
seven
on
wednesday,
I
will
be
sure
to
get
a
a
notice
out
in
our
award
newsletter
looking
forward
to
having
you
all
there.
Thank
you.
AN
Well,
I
will
echo
the
sentiments
of
my
fellow
council
members.
It
was
just
such
a
day.
I
will
tell
you.
AN
I
was
in
the
middle
of
an
equity
and
empowerment
commission
retreat
when
we
got
the
word
and
we
all
have
to
pause
in
the
middle
of
our
retreat
and
take
a
moment
to
be
joyful
and
thankful
and
then
get
back
to
work
so
and
then
the
rest
of
the
day
was
just
just
marvelous
so
and
it
was
a
wonderful
day
to
live
in
evanston
and
be
able
to
blow
your
horn
and
celebrate
on
your
front
stoop
like
many
like
we
did
in
like
many
years.
AN
So
thank
you
all
for
serving
I
I
it
makes
it
all
worthwhile.
A
Thank
you
all
all
the
woman
alderman
wilson.
E
E
Agree
with
all
the
things
that
were
said,
including
the
seven
hour
seven
hour
meeting
that
we've
been
sitting
yeah.
I
think
you
know
personally,
I'm
just
I'm
looking
forward
to
you
know
our
community
and
other
communities,
being,
I
guess,
more
able
to
work
in
some
clear
space
to
get
things
done
and
more
collaboratively
going
forward.
E
So
I'm
excited
about
those
prospects,
and
I
appreciate
everybody
who
came
out
for
our
joint
board
meeting
with
first
board
and
fourth
ward
and
got
some
nice
input
and
looking
forward
to
getting
additional
input
as
we
make
the
adjustments
to
the
budget,
please,
if
you're
watching
or
paying
attention
track
along
with
those
memos
and
the
information
on
the
website.

you
have
any
questions,
you
can
reach
any
of
us
by
email
or

D
Thank

my

moving
forward.

the

was
the
most
amazing
thing
after
the
the
stress
of
going
through
the
days
since
tuesday
evergreen
broke
ground
this
past
week,
and
that
was
very
exciting.
The
mayor
gave
a
very
nice
speech
in
addition
to
the
corner
of
howard
and
asbury.
S
