B
A
A
Secondly,
I
have
a
proclamation
that
I
want
to
give
this
evening.
That
means
a
lot
to
a
lot
of
people,
and
it
is
the
50th
anniversary
of
the
Special
Olympics
and
from
my
family
I
know,
I
have
a
enough
nephew
who
is
as
severe
needs
and
has
been
participant
in
Special
Olympics
for
many
years,
and
it's
a
really
special
day
for
him
and
I
know
it's
a
special
moment
whenever
these
happen
for
families
all
across
this
country.
So
I
would
just
like
to
to
present
this
to
folks
that
we
have
here
from
the
Special
Olympics.
A
A
Now,
therefore,
I
Steven,
Howard,
Haggerty,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Evanston,
do
hereby
proclaim
July
20th
2017
through
July
20th
2018
as
the
year
of
Special
Olympics
in
Evanston,
recognizing
this
important
milestone
throughout
the
city
of
Evanston
and
all
over
the
world.
Thank
you
for
all
that
you
are
doing
for
special
people
in
this
community
and
all
around
the
country.
B
A
Alright,
we're
gonna
have
a
contest.
How
many
people
do
you
think
signed
out
for
public
comment
tonight?
Any
guesses
I
think
we
have
I
think
we
have
eighty.
We
have
the
oh
excuse
me:
I
I'm,
just
giving
you
I'm
just
wetting
your
whistle
because
I
jumped
it
I
jumped
ahead
from
our
city
managers,
important
announcements
and
then
we'll
get
to
public
comment.
There
you're
all
waiting
for
mr.
D
E
Mayor
Haggerty
clerk
read
members
of
the
City
Council
I
am
honored
tonight
to
inform
you
of
two
awards
that
we've
recently
run
one
for
our
critical
infrastructure
projects,
so
on
October
23rd,
the
city
of
Evanston,
received
a
sustainable
landscaping
award
from
the
Metropolitan
Water
Reclamation
District.
This
is
in
recognition
of
our
commitment
to
using
green
infrastructure
for
stormwater
management
on
our
Civic
Center
parking
lot
project.
This
project
was
partially
funded
by
an
M
W
Rd
grant
and
the
design
was
completed
in
house
with
our
engineering
staff.
So
this
one
is
particularly
meaningful
and
sat.
E
Naggar
was
one
of
the
project.
Managers
who've
led
this
project
along
with
Stephanie
Levine,
so
he
has
the
first
of
these
awards,
which
was
a
lovely
glass
medallion
that
we
received
and
then
the
second
Ward
that
we
received
on
November,
2nd
design
Evanston
presented
the
city
with
an
award,
an
urban
design
for
the
innovative
and
thoughtful
implementation
of
bike
lanes
on
Chicago
Avenue.
E
So
this
project
is
a
great
example
of
a
multimodal
corridor
implementation
in
which
we
are
able
to
increase
safety
by
giving
different
users
of
the
roadway
their
own
space
to
be
in
and
is
wonderful
to
win
sort
of
a
homegrown
community
award
for
our
efforts.
So
we're
very
proud
of
these,
and
we
wanted
to
present
them
to
you
and
here's.
The
design
Evanston.
F
D
G
D
Lastly,
mr.
mayor
members,
the
council
this
week
is
winter
Awareness
Week.
We
always
start
right
after
the
first
snow.
It
seems,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
are
aware
of
the
various
ways
that
they
can
be
notified.
When
there
are
snow,
around
parking
bans
and
snow
emergencies,
we
did
a
video
which
I
think
in
the
interest
of
time.
D
We
will
not
show
this
evening,
but
we'd
have
it
on
Facebook
and
Twitter
and
various
social
media
areas
5
things
you
need
to
know
about
snow
in
Evanston,
certainly
how
you
can
find
out
about
snow,
around
parking
bans,
snow
emergencies,
that,
yes,
we
do
have
sirens
and
those
sirens
go
off
at
different
times.
First
note:
our
parking
ban
versus
a
snow
emergency.
We
also
require
individuals,
businesses
and
and
multi-unit
property
owners
to
shovel
sidewalks
adjacent
to
their
properties.
D
So
all
that
is
mentioned
in
the
video
you
can
go
to
the
city's
website
city
of
Evanston
or
explored
slash,
snow
and
see
all
that
information
as
well.
So
we're
going
to
be
spending
this
week
working
through
various
media
outlets,
to
help
remind
folks
it's
winter
and
Evanston
and
things
they
need
to
remember
and
mr.
mayor.
That
concludes
my
comments.
I.
A
You
it's
ok,
he
would
be
sure.
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
We
have
because
I
haven't
even
gotten
through
counting
all
of
the
public
comment
on
folks.
That
would
like
to
do
public
comment.
82.
Okay,
so
we
have
82
people
for
public
comments,
so
I
think
everybody
knows
the
City
Council
rules
which
are
we
set
aside,
45
minutes
for
public
comment.
A
So
it's
listen,
I!
Think
somebody
just
so
me
it's
27
seconds
all
right!
That's
that's!
That's
not
much
time!
That's
not
much!
That's
not
much
time.
So
it
looks
like
most
of
the
folks.
Just
flipping
through
here
would
like
to
get
up
and
talk
about
either
the
Albion
project,
which
is
on
the
agenda
tonight
or
the
lake
house,
or
the
Harley
Clarke
mansion
and
there's
the
proposal
from
the
Evanston
lake
house
and
garden
group.
There's
also
a
few
people
here
that
want
to
talk
about
the
budget.
A
A
Order,
please
I
will
go
through
here
and
I
will
I
mean
I'm,
trying
to
be
fair
and
make
sure
different
comments
get
heard.
So
if
the
first
42
people
of
40
people
up
here
are
all
all
being
and
the
people
that
came
here
for
the
lake
house
group,
then
don't
have
a
chance
to
talk
I,
don't
think
that's
right,
because
the
council
is
going
to
have
to
consider
all
the
shoes.
A
So
you
have
the
right
to
sign
up
and
I
have
the
right,
as
a
parliamentarian
and
presider
of
this,
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
effective
meeting.
Okay,
that's
important
for
our
community
and
important
for
the
people
that
are
up
here.
So
here's
what
here's,
what
I'm
going
to
suggest,
if
is
that
I,
will
give
everyone
one
minute:
okay
for
the
first
40
okay,
that'll.
Take
us
I
think
with
the
overlap
that
sometimes
happens
to
45
minutes.
I'm
then
going
to
move
to
the
special
order
of
business.
A
Okay
on
the
special
order
of
business,
we're
going
to
cover
Holly
Clark,
and
then
we
are
going
to
move
the
budget
special
order
of
business
until
after
we've
gone
through
the
consent
agenda
and
the
meetings.
And
then
I
will
come
back
to
public
comment.
At
the
end
of
the
meeting
to
hit
the
rest
of
the
people
that
signed
up
for
public
comment.
A
A
H
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
think
everyone
needs
to
speak
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
and
I
hope
that
they
would
respect
what
is
the
normal
practice
of.
If
someone
is
repeating
what
someone
else
has
said
that
they
declined
to
speak
I.
Think
if
that's
the
case,
we
will
stay
within
the
45
minutes,
so
I
I'd
rather
take
that
approach.
I,
think
I'll.
I
B
One
that
I
think
that
we
should
give
everyone
a
minute
and
that
what
we
should
do
is
just
make
sure
that
I
think
one
of
the
things
we
really
have
to
do
is
make
sure
that
we
hold
council
me
is
a
time
where
we
can
allow
for
the
public
to
comment.
It's
a
proposal
that
I've
made
in
the
future
and
I
think
that
that's
an
area
we
should
make
all
the
Mokelumne.
J
You
know:
do
we
have
the
rule?
The
30
seconds
per
person
is
gonna,
go
significantly
over
that,
but
we
actually
have
to
do
the
work.
So
it's
important
to
hear
what
people
have
to
say,
but
I
think
we've
all
you
know
been
hearing
from
the
community
on
an
ongoing
basis.
I
do
want
to
hear
from
every
single
person
tonight,
but
hopefully
you
know
in
conjunction
with
all
the
things
that
have
been
submitted,
the
emails
and
everything
else.
They
can
kind
of
hit
the
high
points
in
30
seconds.
J
J
A
All
right
so
I'm
gonna
go
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
do
30
seconds
for
each
speaker.
Okay,
so
we're
going
to
get
through
this
82
I
am
going
to
ask
you
guys
to
be
respectful
of
the
30
seconds.
If
you
have
a
key
point
just
get
up
here
and
make
that
key
point,
if
you're
with
a
group
organized
and
make
sure
that
each
of
you,
when
you
get
your
chance
for
the
30
seconds,
are
hitting
on
your
key
points.
Okay,
all
right!
A
So
with
that
we
I
will
rattle
off
the
top
three
I
apologize
as
always,
if
I'm
mispronouncing
names
or
I
can't
not
believe
any
things.
I'll
do
I'll
do
full
I'll
do
four,
because
I
know
we
have
a
lot
there.
So
the
first
speaker
is
Ivan
Hall.
The
next
up
will
be
Robert
Warren
like
Visoko
and
then
Annie
Coakley
and
again
we're
going
to
do
30
seconds
each.
L
All
right,
my
family
moved
here
in
1972
I've
been
all
over
this
country
Evanston's
a
very
special
corner,
but
what
makes
it
so
is
disappearing
at
a
rapid
rate,
I've
seen
historic
churches,
Victorian
homes
and
theaters
torn
down
and
replaced
with
mediocrity
at
best
and
at
worst
places
like
Chicago
Avenue
place
that
looks
like
public
housing
project
with
balconies.
This
town
already
has
congestion
problems
who
created
dark
daytime
and
wind
tunnels.
The
meetings
ten
more
seconds
thanks
for
interrupting
so
I,
would
just
post.
L
M
M
We
should
not
be
talking
about
the
building
out
of
the
context
of
the
preservation
of
one
of
the
greatest
natural
treasures
and
resources
that
any
city
will
ever
have,
and
that
is
the
Evanston
lakefront
and
the
doing
property
behind
it.
Unless
we
take
into
account
the
profound
significance
of
that
resource
that
gift
that
place
to
our
culture
and
to
our
into
our
lives,
we
are
missing
the
boat
and
we
are
wasting
our
time
talking
about
Harley
Clark.
Thank.
A
M
N
I
I
The
renovation
restoration
costs
are
greatly
underestimated,
including
sight
utilities
that
are
overlooked.
There's
a
lot
of
icing
on
this
cake,
but
the
cake
is
hollow
you
should
be.
You
would
be
buying
a
pig
in
a
poke
for
$12
of
rent
per
year
for
40
years.
Also
there
was
a
6th
and
7th
board
meeting
where
the
citizens
loudly
and
clearly
about
not
raising
taxes,
fees
and
fines.
100
people
attended
that
one
person
spoke
the
favor
of
raising
taxes.
They
don't
raise
our
taxes.
A
O
Evening
Annie
Coakley
director
of
downtown
Evanston
tonight,
I'm
here
to
inform
you
that
I
have
been
meeting
with
albion
residential
to
address
construction
and
parking
issues,
their
impact
on
the
surrounding
small
businesses
of
this
proposed
development.
Please
note
this
is
not
a
letter
of
support
from
downtown
Evanston.
Rather,
an
agreement
proposed
by
Albion
development,
as
the
district
Management
Association
for
downtown
Albion
has
agreed
to
provide
a
ten
thousand
dollar
commitment
to
downtown
Evanston,
to
administer
for
advertising
marketing
campaigns
and
promotions,
specifically
to
be
used
for
the
businesses
adjacent
to
the
proposed
site.
Thank.
P
Evening
I'm
the
president
of
Evanston
lake
house
and
Gardens
and
resident
of
the
seventh
Ward
tonight.
You
were
here
for
a
number
of
our
board
members
and
supporters,
many
of
them
longtime
Evanston
residents
about
what
the
lake
house
plan
means
to
them.
We
have
a
strong
plan,
backed
by
numerous
organizations
across
Evanston
in
the
state.
It
has
been
well
vetted
and
recommended
by
the
Harley
Clark
planning
committee,
and
now
we
are
the
only
group
to
respond
to
the
city's
RFP.
P
Our
plan
meets
the
multiple
objectives,
including
financial
viability,
historic
preservation,
a
high
quality
public
use,
and
it
is
consistent
with
the
lakefront
master
plan
by
repurposing,
the
building
for
environmental
and
cultural
education.
We
gain
equitable
education
opportunities
in
our
community.
Thank
you.
Tom
we've
already
secured
over
a
hundred
thousand
commitments
from
100
individuals
despite
uncertainty
regarding
Elise.
We're
excited
in
it
to
enter
a
lease.
A
vote
tonight
for
us
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction
to
create
a
kamini
lake
house
for
everyone.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
All.
Q
The
entire
Evanston
community
I
urge
you
to
exercise
your
vision
as
city
leaders
and
vote
YES
on
this
exciting
opportunity
to
part
wood
with
a
dedicated
and
capable
team
of
the
Evanston
lake
house
and
garden
I
believe
that
the
risk
to
the
city
is
negligible,
while
the
potential
benefit
for
all
11
stone.
Ian's
are
enormous,
thank
I
go.
Thank
you
all.
R
Joseph
executive
director
of
lumen
kids:
we
owe
it
to
the
people
who
have
walked
before
us
to
act
in
stewardship
and
reconciliation
towards
the
special
green
space
that
remains
a
critical
community
asset.
Restoring
and
repurposing
Harlee
Clark
is
an
educational
space
is
the
best
way
to
connect
people
in
an
equitable
manner
to
our
shared
cultural
and
natural
resources.
I
would
ask
the
council
to
consider
our
proposal
to
create
a
space
that
continues
to
foster
the
spirit
of
community
and
freedom
for
all
peoples
upon
which
this
noble
town
was
founded.
Thank
you.
Thank.

I'm

peckmon
I'm,
a
resident
of
Evanston
sixth
Ward
and
I'm,
a
professor
of
civil
environmental
engineering
at
Northwestern,
University
I,
got
involved
in
the
Harley
Clark
discussion
at
the
behest
of
the
city's
Planning
Committee
and
I've
reviewed
the
plans
by
Evanston
lake
house
and
Gardens
and
the
competitors.
In
my
view,
educational
use
of
Harley
Clark,
including
the
lakefront
property,
requires
a
building
to
stage
indoor
outdoor
education
activities.
This
could
be
a
landmark
opportunity
for
the
city
to
make
a
facility
that
would
draw
people
from
across
the
North
Shore
and
strongly
support
our
public
schools.
S
T
Evening,
my

a

diversity
and
inclusion,
initiatives
that
bring
awareness
and
early
exposure
to
the
profession
to
a
broad
cross-section
of
young
citizens.
I
believe
the
proposal
has
put
forth
by
the
Evanston
lake
house
and
garden
is
an
amazing
opportunity
to
democratize
the
lakefront.
T
The
proposed
educational
programming
for
the
mansion
and
grounds
is
positioned
to
bridge
the
gap
between
various
Evanston
communities
and
the
lakefront
by
providing
equitable
access
to
nature
design,
culture
and
more.
Thank
you
for
your
time
in
your
service
and
I,
ask
you
that
you
vote
in
favor
of
the
proposal.

for
35
years
and
I
am
an
advocate
of
the
Evanston
lake
house
and
Gardens
program
and
proposal
we
surveyed
the
building
several
years
ago
for
the
for
the
city.
We
found
that
the
the
Ludowici
roof
tiles
are
over
90
years
old,
still
in
excellent
condition.
The
hope
steel
windows
are
the
best
quality
you
could
buy
at
the
time.
The
house
was
nine
million
dollars
to
build
at
the
time,
and
you
don't
just
waste
a
structure
like
that.
It's
important
to
the
historic
preservation
and
the
character
of
Evanston.
V
We
have
a
house
in
the
dunes.
I
know
that
it's
not
mutually
exclusive,
that
you
can't
have
great
landscape
and
appreciate
the
landscape
in
the
house.
At
the
same
time,
during
the
summer
months,
the
place
is
packed
in
the
Indiana
Dunes
nine
months
out
of
the
year
it's
empty.
That's
the
way
it
will
be
here
will
not
be
used
year-round
if
you
don't
have
a
structure
there
to
support
the
services.
Thank.
W
I
say
this
because
in
the
past
decade,
or
so
close
to
thirty,
five
million
dollars
has
been
raised
for
just
for
capital
projects
alone:
Evanston
History
Center,
2.4
million
15
million
plus
4
y
o.
U
7.3
million
for
ecfs
a
single
every
child
project,
2.7
million
of
that
from
local
donors
and
your
Robert
Crone
campaign,
a
10
million
in
counting
so
with
big
lead
gifts,
board
giving
and
matching
funds.
5
million
face
and
2
phases
for
the
lake
house
and
garden
is
possible.
Thank.
C
Guys
I'm
with
a
lake
house
group,
you've
heard
me
say
it
all
I
think
so.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
voting
to
not
rip
it
down.
Thank
you
for
voting
to
keep
this
house
and
I
think
for
anyone
that
was
gonna
vote
no
tonight
it's
kind
of
like
voting
against
goodness
I
mean
what
we're
doing
is
just
for
the
good
and
for
those
of
you
that
think
we
can't
raise
money.
We've
met
with
a
lot
of
rich
people
and
they
like
this
plan.

My

on

board

directors
of
the
South
East
Evanston
Association.
During
the
50
years,
we've
been
around.
We've
learned
a
thing
about
our
about
municipal
government
governance.
For
the
last
four
years
we
participated
in
the
Harley
Clark
process.
It's
been
a
long
slog,
but
we
finally
got
to
where
we
are.
This
evening.
You
now
have
a
solid
thought
for
a
proposal
from
Evanston
Lake
House
in
front
of
you.
Although
you
only
receive
one
proposal,
we
are
all
very
fortunate.
It's
from
an
extremely
qualified
organization.

Good
evening,
Mark

speaking
on
behalf
of
Central

neighbours,
Association
in
July
2013,
the
Central
Street
neighbors
Association,
adopted
a
position
supporting
public
use,
ownership
and
conservation
of
the
Park
Beach
and
Harley
Clark
house
at
Lighthouse
Beach
in
April
of
2015.
We
again
reaffirmed
and
amplified
our
position
that
the
park,
land,
beachfront,
gardens
and
mansions
should
remain
in
the
public
domain
and
perpetuity
to
provide
for
recreation,
cultural,
historic,
artistic
educational
and
similar
public
oriented
public
spirited
uses
that
provide
services
and
directly
benefit.
The
community.
Y
Evanston
Lake
house
and
gardens
proposal
has
respected
the
preferences
and
uses
urged
by
CS
na
and
is
compatible
with
those.
We
believe.
Their
vision
for
the
property
once
realized
would
enjoy
wide
support
from
the
community
and
create
an
attractive
community
amenity
that
would
augment
Evanston's
image.

30
seconds
so
hi
everybody
I,
don't
mean
to
be
informal,
I,
say
no
to
Alby
on
there's,
not
enough.
Affordable
housing
for
Evan
stone,
Ian's
keep
the
lakefront
as
it
is,
keep
our
historical
buildings.
Things
were
good
enough
for
you
guys
to
move
here
and
come
here
and
congregate
and
want
to
live
here
and
raise
your
families.
Some
things
are
beautiful
on
its
own,
such
as
leave
it
alone.

A
AC
Name
is
Laurie
Deena
I'm
speaking
tonight
on
behalf
of
Evanston
residents
as
a
board
member
of
Daisy
Coleman
foundation,
co-president
of
Evanston,
public
revered
friends
and
now
a
member
of
the
advisory
board
for
Evanston
lake
house
and
Gardens
was
the
countless
other
groups
I
volunteered.
My
time
with
I've
often
said
the
volunteers
in
Evanston
I've,
worked
with
over
the
past
20
years
could
run
a
small
nation
there's
some
of
the
brightest
most
talented
and
creative
problem-solvers
I've
ever
met
through
these
efforts.
AC
I
stood
right
here
and
been
warned
about
every
obstacle
we
could
ever
encounter,
how
have
the
money
or
why
it
can't
be
done.
And
yet,
despite
these
objections,
we've
accomplished
our
goals,
making
Evanston
an
even
better
community
when
the
South
branches
of
Evanston
public
library
was
shuttered,
we
established
Evanston
live
public
library,
friends,
not-for-profit
paid
the
rent
opened
a
new
library
in
a
month,
and
it's
now
been
folded
into
the
Evanston
Public
Library
System.
Thank
you.
AC
A
AE
You
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
half
year
ago,
in
June,
aldermen
Ravel's
committee
and
city
staff
recommended
quite
publicly
that
the
City
Council
negotiated
long
term
lease
with
Evanston
Lake
house
and
Gardens,
while
the
entire
process
up
to
that
point,
had
been
transparent
and
open
to
anyone
with
an
idea.
This
council
going
the
extra
mile
directed
the
use
of
the
RFP
process.
In
case
there
was
anyone
else
who
had
a
competing
proposal.
AE
The
lake
house
Gardens
plan,
by
which
our
community
will
receive
the
benefit
of
an
estimated
five
million
dollars
in
materials,
labor
and
services
directed
toward
a
public
asset,
is
the
only
proposal
responsive
to
the
RFP.
For
one
simple
reason:
it's
the
best
idea
in
Evanston
for
the
property.
The
idea
of
investing
in
preserving
and
restoring
what
we
have
for
public
use
has
had
consistent
and
considerable
public
support,
since
at
least
the
fall
of
2013
in
the
parasol
room.
AE
AF
Evening
Council,
my
name
is
Kelly
Nelson
I'm
here
from
victim
services,
with
the
Evanston
Police
Department
I'm,
coming
before
you
tonight
to
express
my
concerns
about
the
elimination
of
victim
services
under
the
police
department
and
moving
it
under
Health
and
Human
Services.
First,
we
were
told
that
it
was
a
budgetary
issue
there
to
current
they're,
currently
two
full
time
advocates
and
the
proposal
is
to
hire
one
full-time
advocate
and
three
part-time
advocate.
The
question
is:
is
that
really
a
savings?
AF
A
AD
Evening,
my
name
is
Ariel
Jackson
I'm,
also
an
a
victim
advocate
at
the
police,
social
services
and
I'm
coming
today
to
recognize,
if
there's
a
crisis
in
our
budgeting.
My
concern
is
that
we
need
to
take
a
closer
look
at
the
other
areas
that
were
more
non-essential
and
less
detrimental
to
the
community
in
removing
other
than
victim
services.
Our
response
to
the
least
of
these
in
in
what
we
do
demonstrates
who
we
are
as
a
community.
AD
It's
my
understanding
that
Kelly's
position
was
funded
about
three
years
ago
out
of
a
need
in
the
community
in
a
cry
for
many
of
you
here
on
the
council
for
a
need,
a
need
for
an
african-american
advocate
three
years
later,
I
was
asked
to
return
here
after
leaving
and
coming
back
on
a
part-time
basis
and
then
on
a
full-time
basis,
again
out
of
a
need
for
african-american
advocates
to
better
have
a
staff
that
reflects
the
people
that
we
serve.
Thank.
A
K
Mayor
members
of
the
City
Council,
my
name
is
Robert
Dalrymple
I'm,
a
resident
of
the
seventh
Ward
and
I'm
concerned
about
the
Evanston
lake
house
and
Gardens
budget,
which
requires
over
six
million
dollars
in
donations
over
the
next
five
years,
including
$250,000
from
the
city.
Another
seven
million
in
donations
are
required
over
the
life
of
the
lease.
Will
this
fundraising
compete
with
the
30
million
dollars
you
would
like
for
the
Robert
crown
Community
Center.
The
budget
from
the
lake
house
group
is
aspirational
only
and
is
based
on
private
events.
Z
K
A
AG
Madeline
galas
and
Evanston
residents
and
former
board
member
of
landmarks,
Illinois
and
I'm
here
tonight,
representing
landmarks
Illinois.
As
we
stated
last
April,
we
were
thankful
that
in
2016
the
Evanston
City
Council
set
forth
a
mandate
that
Harley
Clark,
both
a
designated
Evanston
landmark
and
National
Register
listed
landmark,
be
reused.
The
RFP
that
was
released
by
the
city
for
reuse,
while
only
receiving
one
response
received
a
good
qualified
response.
AG
AH
Coin,
Ninth,
Ward
and
I'm,
proud
to
say:
I
raised
my
children
at
a
very
unique
after-school
program
at
Tommy
Nevins.
They
worked
out
pretty
good,
but
Tommy
Nevins
is
going
and
Albion
is
coming
in
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
this.
That
I
support
the
Albion
project,
I'm
willing
to
talk
to
anybody
in
my
community
and
Evanston
and
Beyond
about
that.
AH
AI
Krueger's,
so
how
do
people
with
a
lot
a
lot
of
money,
displaced
people
who
are
at
the
median
income
and
below
they
find
a
city
council
too
desperate
for
a
quick
buck
and
they
build
units
and
the
rents
go
up
in
the
center?
And
then
they
radiate
outward
those
high
rents.
They
radiate
outward
and
they
push
out
all
the
people
who
are
hanging
on
in
a
more
marginal
part
of
Evanston.
Now
the
most
idiotic
thing
I've
heard
in
this
whole
debate
has
been.
We
need
more
high-rises,
so
we
can
have
affordable
housing.
AI
So
this
is
supply-side
lunacy.
What
it
is
is
roughly
the
numbers,
270
high-end
units,
15,
affordable
units-
do
that
10
times.
What
do
you
have?
You
have
Montecarlo?
You
have
Aspen
Colorado,
you
have
the
Gold
Coast,
you
don't
have
a
mixed
income
and
mixed
ethnic
community.
Thank
you
and
although
income
is
not
synonymous
with
race,
its
correlated
its
correlated,
this
is
against
people
of
color.
This
is
against
a
single
mothers.
It
is
well
irreparably
alter
the
character
of
this
city.
Thank
you
on
your
shoulders.
Thank
you.
AJ
Hi
I
I
am
board
president
of
interfaith
action
of
Evanston.
We
support
the
hung
hungry
and
the
homeless,
and
also
we,
along
with
joining
forces,
are
close.
Colleagues
are
our
strong
supporters
of
affordable
housing.
We
have
learned
through
the
Albion
project,
the
complexity
of
a
process
that
is
run
by
a
statute.
That
is
not
exactly
working
very
well
and
we
did
learn
the
shortcomings
of
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance.
AJ
AK
Okay,
just
a
quick
comment:
I
wish
you
would
get
a
longer
microphone
because
I'm
too
tall
but
I'm,
sooo,
low,
back
I,
work
at
connections
for
the
homeless
and
joining
forces
for
affordable
housing,
I
second
purchase
comments
and
I
would
like
to
say
I'll
be
ins.
First
proposal
exceeded
the
requirements
for
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance.
We
believe
that
the
current
proposal
meets
those
requirements
based
on
section
5,
7,
10
of
the
city
code
and
all
the
discussions
that
they've
had
with
staff.
AK
It
is
not
the
equivalent
alternative
that
we
had
hoped
for,
but
it's
certainly
better
than
the
buyout
and
it
is
within
code.
Therefore,
we
believe
that
it
is
not
a
reason
to
vote
albian
down
and
we
ask
you
to
make
your
decision
based
on
other
factors.
In
addition,
I
would
just
like
to
add
that
for
all
other
developments
coming
up,
we
hope
that
they
don't
get
past
the
dapper
process
without
informing
the
developers
that
we
really
are
looking
for
on-site
units.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AL
On
may
9th,
all
nine
of
you
were
sworn
in
the
80th
City
Council,
as
is
part
of
the
tradition
here
in
Evanston.
He
recited
the
Athenian
out
the
citizenship.
The
end
of
the
earth
should
not
be
forgotten.
It
states
that
you
all
will
transmit
the
city
not
only
not
less,
but
greater
and
more
beautiful
than
it
was
transmitted
to
us.
The
public
benefits
albion
is
proposing
are
not
significant
enough
to
warrant
city
council
to
allow
major
variances,
one
of
which
is
300
percent
more
than
the
zoning
allows.
AL
AL
AM
Nancy
Klein
with
a
degree
in
Environmental
Design
from
Syracuse
University
I
would
like
to
remind
each
of
you
that
you
have
the
power
to
do
justice
tonight.
Aside
from
the
obvious
inappropriate
design,
which
is
totally
out
of
context
for
the
site,
there
are
numerous
design
deficiencies
without
being
proposal.
AM
This
is
an
irresponsible
proposal
with
many
problems
that
would
create
traffic
trash
parking
congestion
on
a
dark
Windtunnel
street,
one
with
blinding
glare
to
name
a
few.
The
public
benefits,
if
any,
are
extremely
weak
at
best
to
the
supposed
proposed,
affordable
housing
does
not
meet
the
requirements
and
does
not
solve
the
problem,
particularly
given
the
size
and
price
of
the
units
which
would
not
meet
the
needs
of
families.
Thank
you.
Your
vote
will
determine
whether
we
abide
by
our
zoning
laws
and
our
affordable
and
fair
housing
laws
or
obliterate
them.
AM

we
got
time
you
I'm
on
behalf
of
the
majority

have
signed
the
petition,
thousands
be
mindful
of
the
law.
The
law
is
our
friend

has
been
created

I
urge
you
to
please
protect
us
and
represent
the
will
of
the
people
who
have
elected

represent

Otherwise,
we

have
to
find
other
ways

providing
a

paper
on
affordable

first
15
pages

I
encourage

read
the
15
pages
and
refer
to
them
in
moving
ahead
on
affordable

move

And
councilmembers
M
David
likes
you
I'm,
a
10-year
resident
of
the
7th
Ward
I'm
here
to
speak
against
the
proposal
tonight
on
the
evidence
and
lake
house
and
Gardens
it's
very
well
intentioned,
but
I
think
it's
got
a
lot
of
shortcomings
in
the
plans
and
how
it's
going
to
get
to
where
they
say
what
they
want
to
be
from
a
risk
management
perspective,
which
is
my
area
of
expertise.
I've
looked
at
the
budget,
I
see
$5,000
budgeted
for
insurance
builders,
builders,
risk
insurance
for
large
projects,
that's
$25,000
annually.
AO
If
there's
asbestos,
which
is
as
near
certainty,
that's
another
20
25
thousand
dollars
annually.
While
the
projects
going
on
ongoing
property
insurance
coverage
is
going
to
be
about
twenty
again
twenty
to
twenty-five
thousand
dollars.
General
liability
coverage
is
gonna,
be
very
pricey
because
the
events
involve
alcohol,
so
there's
gonna
have
to
be
liquor.
Liability
coverage
added
to
it
again
a
multiple
of
what's
been
budgeted.
Thank
you,
Dave
Andy.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
AP
Albion
development
is
the
Twinkie
of
affordable
housing
and
the
Twinkie
of
a
budget
gap.
It
is
going
to
not
make
you
feel
good
after
you
vote
for
it
and
we're
going
to
remember
we're
going
to
remember
that
some
of
you
wanted
a
liberal
cover
to
make
it
look
like
that.
Your
are
for
affordable
housing
because
it
is
not
affordable,
housing
and
as
tough
as
it
is
defined
by
our
inclusionary
housing
ordinance.
AQ
Once
again,
I'm
here
to
speak
about
the
Albion
and
I'd
love,
if
you
guys
would
just
have
backbone
and
say
not
this
time,
my
questions
are
the
following
and
I
think.
If
none
of
us
in
this
room
totally
agree
or
what
side
were
on
I
think
we
can
all
pretty
much
agree
that
this
is
just
up
for
grabs.
There
is
no
guiding
document
that
we're
willing
to
look
at.
There
is
no
following
of
inclusionary
housing
document.
We're
following
the
2009
plan
doesn't
seem
to
matter.

urge

support

to
support
the
process
you
put
in
place.
I
was
at

I
am
in
it

I
look
at

out.

Well
articulated,
it

I,
think
going
to
be
successful
and
it
is
very
low

to
the
city

If
it
doesn't
work,
you

can
always
tear
it
down

other
supporters
here

by
the

I've
only
noticed
two
that
were
in
all

the
meetings,
everybody
else
who
is
against

seemed
to
miraculously

wondering
where
they
were

that
process.

I
understand
the
philanthropic
perspective.
AS
The
philanthropic
resources
of
this

are
deep

wide.
I
have
heard
that
some
concerns
expressed
about
competition
with
other
Evanston
projects,
particularly
Robert
crown,
my
wife
and
I,
have
made
what
is
for
us
a
very
significant
pledged
water
Robert
crown.
It
should
be
obvious
that
the
interests
of
people
giving
money
to
the
lake

are
very
different
from
those
who
would
give
money
to
Robert

Robert

to
comment.
The
plan
we
proposed
is
naturally
viable
in
a
stage
to
minimize
risk
to
the
city
and
to
our
organization
plan
will
not
raise
anyone's
taxes
or
fees,
and
the
fundraising
numbers
thrown
out
by
the
opponents
are
exaggerated,
and
not
a
part
of
the
plan
that
we
proposed.
Pirate

small

accept
the

to

I
won't
go

to
have

heard

talk
about
the
financial
benefits
or
lack
thereof
in
low-income
housing,
and
yes,
that's
true,

no

is
coming

dnr
bid

provided
they
end
up
running
between
five
hundred

a
thousand

the
bad
news.

good

Thank
you
and
good
evening,
girls,
speaking
on
behalf
of
Pete
Miller
steakhouse
I,
fully
support
this
development
of
the
Albion
project.
I
feel
that
I'm,
an
open-minded
person,
I've
heard
a
lot
of
public
comment
over
the
months.
I
can't
see
how
this
would
not
be
positive
for
the
town
of
Evanston.
The
positives
clearly
outweigh
the
negatives.
Regarding
this
project.
To
be
honest,
Albion
has
made
a
great
effort
to
mentor
development
and
listen
to
the
residents.
I
believe
this
is
this
is
what
Evanston
needs.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
in

A
BA
A
BA
BB
Regarding
the
rejection
of
albion,
let's
state
the
facts:
this
site
is
a
d'
for
transitional
district.
It's
intended
to
encourage
a
mix
of
office,
residential
and
retail
uses.
The
default
quota
log
allows
on
893
duck
dwelling
units.
It
does
not
permit
278
dwelling
units.
The
code
does
not
permit
a
15-story
massive
wall
directly
on
Sherman
Avenue.
The
code
requires
a
15
story
wall
to
have
a
40
foot
setback.
Finding
these
limitations
to
be
inconvenient,
the
Albion
developer,
is
simply
dismissed
them,
as
I've
demonstrated
it's
quite
possible
a
plausible
to
comply
with
Evanston
zoning
district
code.
BB
We
stood
here
way
too
many
times
to
protest.
This
willful
dismissal
of
our
code,
alderman
woman
Rennell,
said
this
is
an
agonizing
process.
It
is,
but
it
really
does
not
have
to
be.
This
council
has
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
It
really
needs
to
depend
on
the
tools
that
you
have
on
hand.
You
have
an
excellent
tool
at
hand.
It's
called
the
Evanston
zoning
code.
It's
a
well
developed
by
professionals.
It's
intelligent
has
good
things
built
into
it.
Thank.

Also,
I
read
in
their
current
a
November
issue
of
National
Geographic,
the
happiest
places
one
of
the
happiest
cities
Boulder
had
was
considering
14
floor
buildings,
but
they
passed
about
thing,
limiting
it
to
just
five
floor
buildings
and
that
turned
out
a
lot
better
than
no
avoided
criss-crossed
traffic
jams
streets.
Thank.

BD
Mary
Rosinski
I'm
here
wanted
to
speak
against
the
LVN
project,
not
against
development
project.
It
doesn't
feel
like
it
is
built
or
designed
to
support
a
business
district,
and
if
we
want
sales
tax
I
think
we
have
to
build
in
design
and
tweak
a
project
so
that
we
have
a
really
good
business
district.
That
people
from
outside
of
Evanston
can
come
to
also
so
we've
got
parking
issues
we
have
sizes
scale.
The
second
thing
is,
it
also
flies
in
the
face
of
our
intent
of
our
inclusionary
housing
either.
BD
We
believe
in
it
and
we're
going
to
follow
it
and
when
I
tell
her
that
people
would
do
it
or
we
John,
we
throw
it
in
the
garbage.
Can
the
other
thing
is
the
lake
house
project
has
been
a
project
in
work
for
three
four
years
now
and
I
was
there
for
no
park
sale
when
we
started
no
part
sale,
the
average
department
for
an
alliance
which
included
Cissna,
no
park,
sale,
central
street
and
thousands
of
neighbors.
BD
BE
Jeanette
risky
stop
wasting
everyone's
time
and
approve
the
lake
house
groups
plan
to
move
forward.
The
city
budget
crisis
is
a
lot
of
nonsense.
In
a
way
tonight,
close
to
a
million
dollars
is
going
to
be
spent
for
mr.
Bob
Choate's
lawsuit
on
Howard
Street.
We
were
going
to
spend
more
money
on
Howard
Street
next
year
than
on
our
public
parks.
That's
for
a
theater
and
some
infrastructure
and
there's
no
money
there.
Even
the
city
staff
member
who
presented
it
was
disgusted.
BE
There's
a
mess
here,
I,
believe
taxes
are
going
up
a
hundred
percent
over
the
next
several
years
and
nobody
should
blame
Harley
Clark.
It's
this
council,
the
misuse
of
money
that's
going
on
here
after
tonight,
I
am
going
to
see
with
some
other
residents
and
form
a
group
to
start
investigating
the
budget.
Anyone
in
the
rooms
who's
interested
in
joining
me.
We
should
do
it.
It's
not
gonna
end.
When
you
approve
the
budget,
we're
gonna
go
through
it
and
look
at
everything.
Thank.

New
temporary
agreement
was
ratified
by
members
of
a
semi
local
1891
on
October
17th,
as
well
as
approved
by
the
council,
October
23rd.
The
wording
that
was
agreed
upon
and
ratified
says
on
a
one-time
basis.
In
light
of
the
city's
economic
downturn,
employees
agreed
to
take
one
unpaid
day
on
November
10
2017.
BF
This
is
the
wording
that
man
has
been
drafted
and
after
trying
to
caution
them
with
the
potential
problems
for
city
services
and
scheduling,
conflicts
that
we
were
told,
it
was
non-negotiable,
so
we're
agreed
to
it
once
managers
realize
what
we
had
already
for
one.
Not
everyone
was
scheduled
to
work
on
November
10th
and
some
employees
have
to
work
to
provide
essential
services.
They
dreamed
up.
The
wording
somehow
implies
those
employees
have
to
take
a
different,
unpaid
day
management
then
proceeded
to
change
the
wording.
BF
The
counsel
and
the
employee
then
add
the
employees
who
must
work
are
not
scheduled
to
work
on
November
10
2017,
we'll
arrange
with
their
departments
to
take
another
unpaid
day
before
December
31st
2017,
we
filled
the
union
has
been
more
than
fair,
but
we
will
not
change
our
agreed
upon
and
ratified
language.
This
benefit
management's
actions
constitute
a
gross
violation
of
the
contract.
We
were
finally
in
an
unfair
labor
practice
with
the
Illinois
Board
of
Labor
and
have
started
the
process
for
arbitration.
Thank.

Good
evening
I'm
here
to
speak
to
you
and
ask
you
to
vote
YES
for
Albion.
This
is
a
very
challenging
sight
as
you're
well
aware,
and
no
development
is
perfect,
so
I
feel
very
confident
that
you
can
certainly
work
out
your
differences
with
them,
but
they've
listened
to
what
you've
asked
for
and
they've
done,
their
very
best
to
bring
a
social
component
to
this,
as
well
as
a
financial
component
to
the
city.
So
please
vote
YES
for
the
Albion
project,
Thank.

A
BH
Good
evening,
I'm
coming
tonight
to
speak
in
that
position
tonight
Abby
I'm
billing.
It's
not
meeting
the
exclusionary
zoning
ordinance
that
you
put
forth.
This
will
be
the
tenth
luxury
apartment
building.
That's
part
of
the
agenda
fication
trend
in
Evanston,
which
will
in
turn
make
Evanston
even
more
affordable.
BH
Let's
see
the
building
has
273
luxury
apartments.
Please
hold
the
developers
to
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
and
insist
the
10%
or
50%
to
the
sixty
to
sixty
at
the
am
I
on
the
on-site
unis.
This
is
the
city's
prerogative.
The
city
needs
to
stand
by
the
ordinance.
This
decision
has
important
long-term
consequences,
with
far-reaching
impact
on
evidence.

We
do,
our
speaking
against
the
avignon
project
and
I
am
personally
speaking
in
favor
of
the
lake
Carhartt
project.
I
put
my
money
where
my

so
I
gave
them
some
of
my
love

so,

also
here,
I'm
here
as

invite
you
to
our

of
workshop,
we
are
having
in
the
community
with
residents
on
the
civilian
police
oversight
committee.
BI
A
BJ
I
moved
to
Evanston,
like
so
many
others
here,
because
of
its
progressive
character,
because
it
is
a
multicultural,
multiracial
and
multi
class
town,
a
town
that
has
historically
stood
for
justice,
equity
and
diversity.
If
you
vote
for
the
Albion
project,
you
are
voting
against
equality
of
races,
you're
voting,
anti-black
you're
voting,
anti-latino
we've
lost
a
great
number.
The
black
community
in
Evanston,
Latino
homeowners
potential
homeowners
can't
afford
it,
so
they
go
to
North,
Chicago
or
Round
Lake,
because
we've
lost
our
affordable
housing
program.
40
percent
have
been
cut
back.
BJ
You
know
you
all
talk
to
talk,
but
you
don't
walk
the
walk.
Okay
and
you
must
vote
no
I
got
this
project.
Why
don't
you
fight
for
Northwestern
University
to
pay
Texas?
Then
you
won't
have
to
be
gentrifying
Evanston
and
kicking
up
poor
people
and
kicking
up
minorities.
Thank
you.
Lord
I
know
movement.
15
years
ago
a
woman
named
mimimimi
brought
a
movement
for
Northwestern.
That's
where
the
problem
is.
Poor.
People
didn't
cause
the
high
taxes.
It's
not
Western
have
some
courage
and
do
that.
Thank
you.
Alright,.
BK
No
I
I,
I
toned
it
down
for
this
evening.
Good
evening,
mayor
Haggerty,
City,
Council
I
was
looking
for
a
broader
sense
of
how
I
can
express
my
thoughts
for
tonight.
So
I
narrowed
it
down
to
two
words:
purpose
and
intent.
As
we
read
through
the
guidelines
for
all
of
Evanston
codes,
ordinances
and
governing
bodies.
These
are
the
two
items
that
are
most
frequently
repeated
purpose
and
intent.
Are
we
following
the
purpose
intent
as
outlined
for
the
dapper
committee
or
the
zoning
codes
as
they
are
written?
BK
Why,
then,
are
we
coming
before
the
City
Council
to
vote
on
a
project
that
does
not
meet
these
Evanston
guidelines?
We
need
to
think
about
the
purpose
and
intent
of
these
projects
and
how
it
will
affect
the
residents
and
businesses
here.
It
is
very
clear
that
builders
are
anxious
to
build
here
in
Evanston
shouldn't.
We
make
sure
that
these
projects
will
meet
the
needs
and
expectations
of
everyone
concerned
and
that
all
city,
codes
and
ordinances
are
followed.
Thank
in
order
to
ensure
the
purpose
and
intent
is
followed
as
you
intended
it
to.
Thank
you.
BK
A
BL
Evening,
my
name
is
pankaj.
Sharma
I
moved
my
family
here,
because
I
wanted
to
live
in
a
progressive,
diverse
and
affordable
community.
The
Albion
project
is
a
direct
threat
to
those
beliefs.
Your
constituents
do
not
want
to
live
in
a
gentrified,
expensive
and
increasingly
segregated
community.
This
project
only
pays
lip
service
to
the
idea,
affordable
housing.
It
only
creates
a
handful
of
token
floral
housing
units.
The
Albion
project
must
be
stopped
if
you
want
to
keep
Evanston
as
a
community,
that's
affordable
and
inclusive.
This
project
will
continue
to
drive
up
the
already
inflated
rental
market.
BL
BM
Sujata,
do
you
think
my
name
is
K
Sujata
and
I?
Am
a
long-term
time--even
resident
of
Evanston
I
am
voicing
my
strong
opposition
to
the
proposed
a
B
on
housing
development
when
I
first
arrived
in
the
u.s.
more
than
three
decades
ago,
Evanston
was
my
first
home
as
a
graduate
student
at
Northwestern.
I
relied
greatly
on
affordable
housing
within
walking
distance
from
the
University,
since
I
could
not
afford
a
car
or
even
spend
additional
stipend
income
on
public
transportation.
BM
For
the
past
two
decades,
I
have
worked
in
the
areas
of
family
economic
security,
ending
violence
against
women
and
supportive
housing.
I
have
seen
firsthand
the
impact
of
rising
inequality
and
its
cost
on
families
and
communities.
I
have
also
seen
the
tremendous
impact
that
safe
and
affordable
housing
could
have
on
family
health
and
Economic
Security,
and
the
growth
of
communities.
A
vibrant
town
can
thrive,
can
only
thrive
with
a
diverse
and
inclusive
community.
The
Albion
housing
development
proposal
does
not
provide
sufficient,
affordable
housing
and
does
not
follow
Evanston's
inclusionary
housing,
ordinance.
BM
I'm
almost
done
a
large-scale
housing
development
such
as
the
one
proposed,
will
rapidly
price
out
working
families
away
not
only
from
downtown
Evanston
but
from
the
town
itself.
In
the
long
run,
I
strongly
urge
the
committee
to
vote
against
the
proposed
Albion
development
and
considered
an
alternative
development
that
is
inclusive
of
Community
and
Economic
Development,
as
well
as
keeping
within
the
architectural
aesthetic
of
the
area.
Thank
you.
BN
You
just
parenthetically
note
I
see
that
the
park
Evanston
is
worried
about
losing
out
its
market
share
to
eat
too,
and
so
it's
gonna
start
renovating
and
raising
its
rents,
so
we're
just
seeing
this
accelerated
gentrification
occurring
now.
As
a
lawyer,
I
just
wanted
to
ask
you
to
look
closely
at
the
public
benefits
for
this
project.
Many
of
them
that
are
claimed
are
not
actually
public
benefits
under
our
law.
One-Time
payments
like
a
divvy
station,
are
not
enough.
The
costs
of
the
project
far
outweigh
these
public
benefits.
BN
A
I'm
so
glad
somebody
brought
a
haiku
to
the
public
comments
tonight.
Thank
you,
John
all
right,
Claire
and
now
we've
got
you
Claire
right.
You
ready,
or
do
you
want
to
break
I,
can
go
to
I,
can
give
you
a
little
break.
I'll.
Give
you
a
little
break
all
right:
we've
got
Lesley
Peterson,
Kyra
Kelly,
then
Bobby

Thousands
of
people,
mobilize
hundreds
of
people
sent
emails
out
and
we
have
proof
of
that
countless
hours
and
sacrifices
by
a
lot
of
people
and
if
the
efforts
and
outcry
of
thousands
of
residents
falls
on
deaf
ears
and
longtime
independent
business
owners
who
are
opposed
to
this,
which
most
are,
and
we
had
a
video,
unfortunately
couldn't
show
some
of
them
will
leave.
We
citizens
wonder
what
it
does
take
to
be
represented
in
Evanston
and
who
is
represented.
Evanston
thank.
BP
BP
You
I'm
here
again
to
request
that
you
vote
no
on
the
albion
project
again,
I'm
curious
to
know
why
it
is
this.
The
City
Council
is
helping
to
guarantee
a
return
for
developers
that
have
nothing
to
do
with
our
cities
by
making
sure
that
they
don't
have
to
follow
the
the
10%
guidelines.
I
fail
to
see
why
it
is.
We
want
them
to
be
able
to
lock
in
17%,
IRS
or
6%
cap
rates.
BP
There
are
some
that
I've
already
proposed
the
10%
guidelines
shouldn't
we
be
driving
the
process
and
making
sure
that
we
have
folks
that
want
to
work
with
us,
because
you
know
once
you've
left
the
10%
genie
out
of
the
bottle,
I'm
sure
from
here
on
out
we're
going
to
hear
from
every
single
developer
asking
for
that
same
sort
of
waiver
right.
So
thank
you.
A
BM
So
anyway,
please
don't
give
away
the
farm.
Who
are
we
trying
to
please
here
with
the
planned
development?
You
guys
call
the
shots
you're,
our
representatives,
not
the
developers.
We
have
an
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
in
place
to
serve
Evanston's
to
serve.
Heaven
stands
low-income
residents.
This
ordinance
requires
10%,
affordable
housing
for
residents
at
the
50%
to
fit
60%
ami
for
a
transit
transport,
oriented
development,
we're
getting
neither
of
these
from
the
Albion
development
they're
asking
about
half
of
those
at
80%
and
they're,
only
giving
us
a
fraction
they're
giving
us
nine
units
that
meet
this.
BM
A
AN
BM
To
their
word
of
the
ordinance
make
sure
that
this
benefits
that
there's
truly
that
the
benefits
truly
and
honestly
outweigh
the
harms
of
this
massive
development,
and
we
do
question
we've
seen
we've
seen
the
FOIAs
we've
seen
the
emails.
It
does
feel
that
the
tracks
have
been
greased
by
city
staff
by
Wally
Bob
coeds,
who
are
now
paying
half
a
million
dollars
for
four

BM

I'm
speaking
in
support
of
the
lighthouse
students
proposal
for
the
reen
actualization
of
the
Harley
Clark
property,
this
is
the
only
proposal
that
truly
returns
the
property
to
the
public.
It's
low
impact
to
the
community
and
low
cost
to
that
use
a
city
some
of
you
may
know,
and
we
work
together
on
the
lakefront
master
plan.
As
a
former
park
board
member
for
ten
years,
I
also
served
with
some
of
you
on
the
Harley
Clark
special
committee,
so
I
feel,
like
I,
am
uniquely
qualified
to
speak
on
this
subject.
BQ
A
F
Merve
chuckle
I've
been
a
resident
Hamilton
for
over
40
years.
The
only
positive
comments
I've
heard
from
City
Council
about
the
Albion
project
are
the
benefits.
Do
we
need
to
have
all
those
benefits
from
one
development,
especially
considering
there's
so
many
projects
in
the
pipeline?
Why
put
our
all
of
our
eggs
in
one
basket?
They
should
redesign
that
we
can
get
along
with
fewer
benefits
and
fewer
extreme
variances
from
zoning.
Thank
you.
BR
Evening
and
thank
you
for
listening,
my
name
is
Chris
Pappas
and
I'm,
the
owner
of
eg,
a
spa
I'm
here
to
express
my
concerns
with
Albion
and
to
ask
the
question:
who
are
we
as
Evan
stone?
Ian's,
a
plan
was
drafted
in
2009,
which
has
served
as
a
guideline
for
city
projects
since
its
preparation',
the
proposed
building
violates
so
many
of
those
guidelines.
As
you're
more
than
aware,
there
are
several
other
major
building
projects
lined
up
for
approval
and
what
those
developers
are
learning
is
that
Evanston's
plans
are
not
set
in
stone.
BR
BS
Good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
Lisa
Deakin
I'm,
a
fourth
Ward
resident
and
a
member
of
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals.
In
regards
to
the
albion
development
I
support
the
project.
The
site
is
a
difficult
one,
as
you
all
know,
for
many
reasons,
and
the
development
is
not
perfect.
However,
rarely
in
life,
do
you
get
perfect,
however.
BS
I
support
development
downtown
that
is
served
by
public
transit,
encourages
alternative
modes
of
transportation,
is
appropriate
and
scale
to
the
built
environment
provides
for
an
active
street-level
use
retains
existing
businesses
makes
use
of
a
site
that
has
an
own
level
environmental
of
an
iron
mental
contamination
that
must
be
remediated
and
includes
affordable
housing,
on-site,
all
of
which
are
included
in
this
project.
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time
in
your
service.
Thank.

BT
My
name

rip
Richard
Lynn
members
of
the
City
Council,
that
is
clear,
albian
is
working
hard
and
wants
to
be
in
evanston.
You
should
embrace
their
commitment
to
your
community
and
the
long
term
benefits
of
the
project
offers
I
strongly,
encourage
you
to
approve
the
Albion
project
and
ask
you
to
vote
yes.
Albian
has
the
confidence
to
invest
90
million
dollars
in
efforts
in
that
will
generate
significant
random
revenue
for
many
generations,
and
it
will
be
a
catalyst
for
other
people
to
invest
in
the
area.
BT
They
are
working
with
Evanston
Township
High
School,
with
meaningful
work-study
opportunities
for
the
students.
This
service
is
invaluable
by
working
with
the
next
generation
of
Evanston
leaders.
Today
it
will
ensure
quality
standard
of
life
for
generations
to
come.
You
must
vote
YES
for
the
Albion
project.
Your
yes
vote
will
impact
Evanston
for
generations
to
come
impact
the
next
leaders
and
get
groomed
and
provide
housing
for
the
people
forever.
BU
Jeanette
Kirby
first
ward,
I'm
here
to
read
a
letter
from
Seth
Weinberger.
He
says
I'm
a
former
chairman
of
the
Evanston
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals,
and
this
is
the
first
time
since
my
retirement
from
the
Zoning
Board
that
I
have
felt
compelled
to
publicly
oppose
any
proposal
for
construction
in
Evanston.
Ivy
meant
Lee
opposed
the
proposal
for
a
287
unit
rental
building
on
Sherman
Avenue.
The
proposed
building
site
is
in
a
d4
transition
district
with
zoning
requirements
specifically
geared
towards
creating
a
transition
between
the
heightened
mass
of
core
downtown
and
the
residential
areas
around
it.
BU
The
proposed
building
is
the
antithesis
of
a
transition.
It
continues
the
mass
of
the
rotary
building
into
the
d4
district.
The
combination
of
the
variances
would
enable
the
developer
to
build
a
structure
that
is
about
double
the
volume
of
what
could
be
built
on
this
property
if
the
requirements
were
complied
with.
Thank
you.
That
is
not
a
variation
that
is
an
obliteration
of
the
zoning
code.
The
proposed
building
also
violates
the
expressed
intent
to
create
pedestrian
friendly
walkways
along
our
most
important
pedestrian
streets.
BU
Three
sentences
I
urge
you
to
vote
against
this
proposal.
I.
Thank
you
for
your
service,
but
I
also
want
to
remind
you.
This
is
him
saying
this
about
your
responsibility,
you
volunteered
to
protect
the
city
from
overdevelopment?
If
you
approve
this
building
and
it
gets
built,
it
will
become
a
monument
to
your
failure
to
protect
our
city,
a
very
mosque,
massive
monument
that
you
and
many
generations
after
you
will
regularly
revisit.
BV
If
this
City
Council
were
to
embrace
corporate
interests
in
the
case
of
Albion
over
community
organizers
in
the
case
of
Evanston
and
lake
house
and
Gardens,
it
would
represent
an
absolute
rejection
of
everything
that
this
city
is
about.
You
know
years
ago,
I
stood
in
front
of
you
and
asked
how
long
and
for
how
loud
must
the
people
of
Evanston
speak
before
their
voices
are
heard
in
both
of
these
instances,
you
have
seen
community
members
from
across
the
entire
city
rally
together
in
support
of
something
that
this
community
wants.
BV
BW
Good
evening,
good
evening,
everyone
Tina
Peyton
Alby
on
versus
paid
in
properties,
as
you
can
see,
from
the
handout
Albion
is
offering
8
studios
for
one
bedrooms.
Three
two
bedrooms,
the
maximum
occupancy
for
those
apartments
for
15
units
will
be
24
people.
Their
only
comment
made
by
one
of
the
aldermen
says:
single
mothers
with
children
need
housing.
You
could
only
fit
three
of
those
units
for
affordable
units
paid
in
properties,
which
is
our
units.
Currently
we
have
two
one-bedroom
nine,
two
bedroom,
two
three
bedroom
and
two
four-bedroom.
BW
A
A
BX
Ancient,
as
some
of
you
know
and
I've,
been
coming
in
front
of
the
City
Council
for
more
years
and
I
like
to
think
about,
but
I'm
here
tonight
to
speak
for
of
all
crazy
things,
Beauty
the
beauty
of
Evanston.
You
know
it's
it's
music
and
architecture,
art
nature
that
makes
men's
spirits
soar
and
when
I
ran
the
youth
Job
Center,
which
I
did
for
a
number
of
years.
We
used
to
take
kids
clients
who
are
interested
in
art
over
to
look
at
the
Harley
cleric
mansion.
BX
The
arts
programs
there
and
many
of
these
kids
had
never
been
east
along
the
lake.
Excuse
me
along
the
lakefront
and
they
were
blown
away
by
the
wonders
of
it
and
said
boy.
You
know,
I'm
gonna
make
a
lot
of
money
and
I'm
gonna
live
over
here,
but
it
was
very
uplifting.
The
beauty
of
that
spot
is
remarkable,
both
the
house
and,
of
course,
the
land
so
I'm,
hoping
that
that
project
will
get
the
you
know
upward
vote
tonight
and
then
I
want
to
speak
quickly
about
the
albion,
which
is
the
opposite
of
beauty.
BX
A
BY
My
name
is
Priscilla
Giles
and
I
am
asking
the
council
to
vote
no
for
the
Elven
project,
a
project
which
destroys
the
character
of
the
city
of
Evanston
and
does
not
nearly
do
enough
to
answer
the
problem
of
housing
and
homelessness,
for
which
you,
in
this
special
announcements,
asked
us
to
keep
in
keep
for
the
community
to
keep
in
mind,
I
believe
the
council
as
an
obligation
to
solve
the
housing
and
homeless
problem
with
not
with
the
album.
It
does
not
do
it.
Thank
you
thank.
A

Good
evening,
Council
I'm
Tom
Wesley
I'm,
here
to
speak
in
support
of
the
albion
project.
I've
attended
almost
all
of
the
public
meetings
on
this
project
and
the
developer
has
been
responsive
to
the
community's
concerns
from
on-site,
affordable
housing
to
building
height
and
design
changes
as
it
and
has
made
many
other
accommodations
to
the
community.
They
have
also
provided
what
I
believe
in
is
exciting
and
sympathetic
building
for
this
unusual
site.
In
addition
to
the
300
plus
new
residents
in
our
downtown
corridor,
they
can
only
help
the
revitalization
of
our
downtown
neighborhood.
BZ
Our
new
neighbors
will
use
restaurants,
retail
and
services
that
have
elementally
a
significant
boost
to
our
downtown
economy.
The
additional
property
tax
is
estimated
to
be
a
million
dollars
will
help
our
city's
budget
and
our
schools.
This
development
is
a
great
use
of
underutilized
urban
space.
Great
design
adds
vitality
to
our
downtown
neighborhood,
as
a
million
dollars
in
annual
revenue
to
our
tax
rolls
I
believe
we
as
a
city
should
move
forward
into
the
21st
century
with
thoughtful
and
beautifully
designed
development
that
adds
to
the
vitality
of
our
great
city.
Thank
you.
A
CA
I
feel
the
city
of
Evanston
is
balancing
the
budget
on
the
backs
of
its
most
vulnerable
people,
and
this
means
that
we
are
the
most
vulnerable
people
when
any
one
of
us
at
any
given
moment
find
ourselves
a
victim.
When
that
moment
happens,
I
personally
want
an
educated,
experienced
and
compassionate
human
being
there
to
help
me
I
do
not
want
to
be
handed
a
stack
of
business
cards
and
be
told
to
reach
out
to
a
social
service
agency.
I
want
one
of
these
two
women
that
spoke
earlier
working
in
conjunction
with
the
Evanston
Police
Department.
CA
AV
AV
With
their
explicit
permission,
I
will
be
brief
if
we
as
a
community
are
going
to
claim
that
we
are
so
inclusive
and
diverse,
but
allow
the
Albia
development
to
be
built
which
would
make
the
city
less
affordable
and
accessible
to
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
society,
including
people
of
low
socioeconomic
status
and
people
of
color,
then
we
must
think
whether
or
not
our
action
support
our
ideas
of
law.
Evanston
is
thank
you
thank.
CB
Okay
and
$10,000
that
they're
gonna,
give
me
for
parking
is
not
gonna
make
one
month's
payroll
for
my
employees
and
all
the
other
small
mertens
merchants
on
that
street.
So
please
think
about
the
merchants,
because
you
can
look
at
Sherman,
Avenue
and
all
the
emptiness
that
has
been
there
for
a
long
time
with
the
big
big
big
buildings,
people
love
coming
to
small,
quaint,
beautiful
places.
Thank
you
so
much
thank.
A
You
thank
you
Karen
all
right,
okay
and
thank
you
and
thank
you
everybody
for
your
for
being
here
and
for
getting
up
and
present
your
point
of
view.
In
your
perspective,
there
are
a
lot
of
different
perspectives
that
were
presented
tonight
and
I
know.
The
City
Council
may
also
share
different
perspectives.
A
So,
let's
let's
go
ahead
and
and
get
this
meeting
underway.
The
first
special
order
of
business
is
sp1,
which
is
response
to
response
to
request
for
proposals
1748
to
lease
the
harley
clark.
Mansion
I
would
like
to
ask
Alderman
Revell
to
present
this
special
order
of
business
and
begin
discussion.
Okay,.
G
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
do
have
a
motion
to
get
us
started
with
our
conversation.
I
move
that
the
City
Council
direct,
the
city
manager
to
work
with
Evanston
lake
house
and
gardens
to
develop
a
letter
of
agreement
detailing
the
terms
of
a
40-year
lease
of
the
harley
clark
property
to
Evanston
lake
house
and
gardens
for
the
creation
of
an
environmental
education
center.
G
The
agreement
is
to
establish
a
six-month
fundraising
schedule
with
annual
interim
fundraising
targets
and
with
at
least
50%
of
the
funds
raised
by
each
interim
fundraising
deadline
deposited
in
an
account
held
by
Evanston,
Lake
house
and
Gardens.
If
the
lake
house
is
unable
to
meet
the
fundraising
schedule,
the
city
may
consider
other
options
for
the
property.
The
lease
is
also
to
specify
the
conditions
under
which
the
rehab
rehab
of
the
Harley
Clark
buildings
can
begin.
G
The
number
and
types
of
events
and
other
uses
permitted
for
the
property
responsibility
for
insurance
and
for
maintenance
of
the
buildings
and
grounds
and
such
other
issues
as
are
deemed
appropriate
and
necessary.
The
city
manager
is
to
present
the
letter
of
agreement
to
the
City
Council
for
approval
at
its
January
22nd
meeting.
Second.
CC
G
Several
members
of
those
two
committees
and
you've
heard
from
a
couple
of
them
this
evening,
agreed
to
serve
on
the
Harley
Clark
Planning
Committee,
which
I
chaired.
We
met
regularly
for
seven
months,
during
which
time
we
had
extensive
discussion
with
Lake
House
representatives
and
with
community
groups
eager
to
partner
with
Lake
House
in
developing
experiential,
educational
and
community
programming
for
Harley
Clark.
G
Ultimately,
the
planning
committee
enthusiastically
endorsed
the
lake
house
proposal
and
in
June,
recommended
that
the
City
Council
enter
into
a
lease
agreement
with
Lake
House
and,
as
you
know,
it
was
decided
instead
to
engage
in
an
RFP
process
to
see
whether
any
other
nonprofits
had
an
interest
in
leasing
the
property.
Now
this
evening
we
have
before
us
the
one
responsive
proposal
to
our
RFP
from
Evanston
Lake
house
and
Gardens,
a
proposal
to
transform
Harley
Clark
into
an
exciting
environmentally
themed
asset
with
broad
appeal
for
the
whole
community.
G
This
is
about
much
more
than
rehabbing
a
picturesque
old
mansion.
This
is
about
an
opportunity
to
create
a
space
for
a
rich
and
varied
array
of
programming
that
takes
advantage
of
this
unique
location
with
access
to
Lake
Michigan,
its
Beach
and
its
dunes.
Let's
give
Evanston
Lake
house
and
Gardens
an
opportunity
to
realize
this
exciting
vision
for
Evanston,
okay,.
J
You
and
I
thank
you
for
that
ottoman
rule
and
also
for
all
of
the
hard
work
you've
put
into
the
end
of
the
process
and
I
definitely
agree.
This
we've
made
a
commitment
to
this
process
and
I
feel
like
we
really
have
to
follow
through
with
that
give
the
group
the
opportunity
I
do
want
to
s
express
my
gratitude
for
others
who
are
continuing
to
think
about
and
to
visualize.
What
can
you
know
what
can
be
part
of
this
entire
property
and
I
encourage
everybody?
J
Who
does
have
these
good
ideas
for
things
that
are,
you
know,
maybe
not
necessarily
having
to
do
with
the
building,
but
to
perhaps
work
with
the
group
to
continue
to
communicate
with
us
and
continue
to
share
those
ideas,
because
you
bringing
those
to
the
table
are
going
to
be
very
helpful
and
very
useful
in
making
this
entire
stretch
and
the
dune
scape
is
remarkable.
It's
beautiful.
There
are
a
lot
of
lake
features
that
weren't
there.
J
Naturally,
the
the
Northwestern's
contributed
a
lot
to
what
we've
ended
up
with
as
far
as
a
beautiful
lakefront
and
in
the
same
thing
with
this
property.
So
please
continue
with
that
engagement.
It
is
very
important
so
just
because,
assuming
we
do
pursue
this
actively,
please
stay
engaged
and
involved
in
that
process,
because
it
is
very
important
for
the
overall
health
of
the
of
the
of
the
lakefront.
CD
So
I
will
be
very
honest.
I
have
mixed
feelings
about
this.
I
would
love
to
see
this
beautiful
house
and
education,
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
but
I
have
concerns
about
you
all
raising
the
money,
and
that
might
just
be
because
it
seems
like
a
lot
of
money
to
raise
from
where
you
are
now
I
do
want
to
trust
the
process
we
went
through.
However,
I
guess
from
my
understanding
just
to
clarify
we
went
through
a
process,
we
have
a.
CD
We
have
one
offer,
but
I
guess
I
didn't
come
in
here
feeling
like
because
we
went
through
the
process.
We
are
tying
ourselves
to
the
offer
we
had
so
I
want
to
clarify
that,
for
my
own
understanding,
so
I
mean
it
all
sounds
really
great.
I
have
a
lot
of
concerns
about
not
ending
up
where
we
are
today
that
you
know.
However,
many
years
down
the
line,
we
have
this
$1
lease
and
it
did
not
come
to
fruition.
So
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
those
deadlines
are
in
there.
CD
I,
maybe
would
be
more
aggressive
with
the
deadlines,
but
I'm
willing
to
be
flexible
and
I
do
also,
and
I
brought
this
up
to
Tom
and
Alex.
When
we
met
months
and
months
ago
about
the
insurance,
it
is
a
very
old
building.
I
would
want
to
make
sure
that
there
is
full
coverage
on
the
structure
and
and
surrounding,
and
we
have
all
that
worked
out
because,
as
you
all
know,
we
have
a
huge
budget
deficit.
CD
So
the
last
thing
we
need
is
to
have
an
uninsured
building
out
there
that
the
city
realizes
we're
responsible
for
so
I
would
want
to
make
sure
that
automobile
you
have
that
very
clear
and
that
the
city
manager
that
that's
clear
in
any
an
agreement
that
might
go
forward
as
well
as
maybe
some
more
aggressive
deadlines
on
reporting
back
on
the
fundraising,
so
that
we
don't
look
up
down
the
road
and
we're
not
quite
where
we
want
to
be.
Thank.
D
The
recipients,
members
of
the
council
are
I,
think
our
challenge
over
the
next
several
weeks
will
be
to
come
up
with
those
terms.
I
think
all
have
been
reveled.
Her
motion
gave
us
a
broad
outline,
we'll
meet
with
the
lake
house
Gardens
folks
to
get
a
sense
of
what
they
think
are
appropriate
benchmarks
and
we'll
come
back
to
you
with
that,
but
I
think
certainly
in
Oliver
Ravel's
motion
and
no
mayor
Haggerty
also
has
similar
concerns.
So
that
will
be
our
charge
over
the
next
several
weeks
and
so
we'll
come
back
on.
H
H
Think
the
programs
that
have
been
described
are
wonderful
and
I.
Don't
think
anybody
can
argue
that
these
are
inspiring
activities.
The
wonderful
partnerships
certainly
brought
enthusiasm
and
I
appreciate.
All
of
that.
I
think
you
all
need
to
understand
that
we
unfortunately
have
the
responsibility
of
being
the
fiscal.
H
H
H
H
Well,
once
once
we
come
to
an
agreement,
maybe
then
the
donors
will
step
up
I'm
very
concerned
that
the
twelve
thousand
I'm
talking
so
I
need
you
to
be
still
thank
you
that
the
donors
will
step
up
and
we
will
see
a
immediate
infusion
of
money
come
in,
that's
my
hope,
so
I
hope
we
can
take
advantage
of
of
that,
and
there
will
be
a
good
response
immediately
and
I.
Think
that
will
give
you
the
energy
to
to
go
forward
as
well.
H
What
happens
afterwards,
if
the
program
doesn't
succeed,
if
the
funds
aren't
raised
I
think
everyone
needs
to
understand
that
we've
got
a
situation
here
where,
even
in
the
worst
case
scenario,
what
we
would
be
doing
is
preserving
our
lakefront
and
restoring
the
dunes
and
creating
recreating
the
natural
environment.
That
was
there
as
closely
as
it
can
be
duplicated
to
when
Marquette
and
Jolliet
came
in
to
Evanston
right
there
at
the
foot
of
the
foot
of
Lighthouse,
Beach
I
think
that's
inspiring.
H
It's
always
been
inspiring
for
my
family,
my
son
and
all
of
Ann's
Donegan's,
I've
I've
talked
to
so
I'm
willing
to
go
ahead
with
this,
but
as
long
as
there
are
firm
benchmarks
in
place,
we
have
been
sitting
up
here
talking
about
this
for
what
3
to
4
years,
that's
long
enough,
I
mean
this.
We
I
think
mayor
Tisdale
asked
for
certain.
H
Again,
certain
benchmarks
to
me
that
met
financially
they
weren't
met.
Then
we
went
through
the
RFP
I
think
behind
the
the
more
or
less
cumbersome
or
slow
approach.
Your
cooking
was
a
concern
that
the
money
wouldn't
be
there,
so
I
think
it's
all
up
to
you
now
to
show
us
that
that
our
faith
in
you
has
been
well-placed.
H
Even
although
we're
holding
our
breath
that
our
faith
in
you
is
well-placed
and
that
we
see
immediate
response,
so
that's
the
$250,000
I
think
we
need
to
talk
about
that
and
I
think
we
need
to
really
spell
out
what
those
benchmarks
are
and
hold
hold
everyone
to
them
and
I
would
I
would
take
out
the
word
may
in
they
may
have
options
to
shell,
because
I
think
it
has
to
be.
This
has
to
be
the
final.
H
The
final
push
I
can't
see
that
it's
fair
to
the
council
or
the
community
to
keep
this
going
and
hopefully
wish
that
things
would
happen.
I
am
extremely
concerned
about
getting
into
a
position
where
maybe
you're
close,
but
not
quite
and
so
more
events
need
to
happen
or
more
food
needs
to
be
served
or
more
I.
Don't
want
to
see
that
happening
to
the
lakefront.
My
first
primary
goal,
serving
as
Alderman
and
I've
said
this
all
the
times
I've
run
is
preservation
of
the
lakefront.
It's
our
one
jewel.
H
J
J
So,
to
the
extent
that
we
end
up
expending
money
to
maintain
the
property,
you
know
so
be
it,
but
we're
not
allocating
any
money
to
to
the
fundraising
and
I
mean
if
someone
you
know
if
the
door
needs
to
be
fixed
if
it
needs
to
be
kept
secure
whatever
it
is,
that's
different,
but
you
know
at
this
point
I
think
you
know
our
role
is
primarily
just
to
keep
the
property
from
from
further
deterioration
and
and
see
how
it
goes.
You
know
cross
your
fingers
and
you
know,
put
our
faith
in
the
group.
CF
CF
D
Alderman
Rainey
members
of
the
council,
if
you
recall
the
council
had
this
discussion
about
18
months
ago,
and
the
decision
was
made
rather
than
to
put
money
into
the
building.
We
invested
the
money
in
the
fog
houses
so
that
money
has
been
spent
that
exceeded
the
$250,000
again.
The
council
can
allocate
funds
for
averages
to
allocate
funds,
but
it
was
your
previous
discussion
that
I
think
that
money
that
was
previously
talked
about
that
250
was
invested
in
the
Fock
houses,
so.
D
D
Know
I
mean
it's
a
fact
of
that
I
think
the
council
has
been
been
nonspecific
about
the
250,000,
so
I
think.
As
has
been
said
this
evening.
You
know
this
proposal
included
that
if
you
authorize
me
to
negotiate
with
them,
I
will
take
whatever
direction
you
give
if
that
money
is
available
has
all
been
Wilson's
indicated
for
future
free
to
maintenance.
If
the
council
wishes
to
make
the
donation
that's
up
to
the
council
to
decide
well.
D
Also
I'm
not
I,
want
to
know
in
all
been
reading
murders.
The
council
I'm
not
sure
in
which
fiscal
year
that
$250,000
would
be
spent
if
the
council
was
so
choose
to
spend
it.
This
is
a
multi-year
project.
If
the
council
wishes
to
give
direction
this
evening,
that
would
be
very
helpful.
If
not,
will
that
be
a
point
of
discussion
and
we'll
come
back
on
January.
CF
CF
G
G
A
CC
I
have
tremendous
hope
for
great
success
and,
like
the
other
members
of
the
council,
we
all
have
a
fiduciary
duty
to
all
of
you.
We
do
need
to
make
sure
that
there
are
aspects
of
this
Agreement
that
protect
the
whole
city
and
the
residents
of
Evanston,
so
I
look
forward
to
what
the
City
Council
its
city
manager
comes
back
with
and
I
look
forward
to
what
happened
at

Mr.

at

funding

be

It's
for
action
and
I
need
to
explain
the
committee's
action.
CF
J
You
obviously
making
a
decision
to
settle
the
litigation
is
not
something
one
would
want
to
do,
and
particularly
given
our
financial
circumstances.
But
there
are
occasions
when
you
have
to
make
a
business
decision,
and
you
know
we're
up
here-
we're
responsible
for
the
taxpayers
money
and
from
time
to
time
there
are
circumstances
where
it's
incumbent,
but
you
know,
let
me
put
it
this
way.
I
don't
want
to
make
a
decision
to
spend
taxpayer
money
to
prove
a
point
or
to
win.
So
there
are
occasions
like
this.
J
CF
So
I
figured
there
would
be
some
comment
like
that
and
I
understand
that,
but
in
this
case,
I
felt
that
it
was
very
important
for
someone
to
make
a
statement
that
well.
Yes,
this
was
a
business
decision,
because
I
was
involved
in
the
discussion
where
it
was
a
business
decision
and
the
likelihood
of
this
case
being
decided
in
our
favor
was
slim
having
nothing
to
do
with
the
facts
of
the
case.
CF
CF
Realized
that
we're
dealing
with
the
taxpayers,
money
and
I
truly
believe
that
if
we,
if
we,
if
we
don't
settle
this
case,
this
woman
will
go
after
the
oven
stunt
taxpayer
for
every
last
penny.
She
can
bleed
out
of
us.
However,
I
think
at
some
point
a
person
just
at
some
point,
and
maybe
even
the
city
at
some
point
has
to
stand
up
to
this
kind
of
action
and
I
believe
our
city
attorney
our
city,
Human
Resources
person
and
our
city
manager
done
nothing
wrong
and
I'm
going
to
vote
no
to
this
settlement.
A
CE
CF
Z
J
Interestingly,
a
few
people
have
actually
forwarded
the
article
from
the
National
Geographic,
which
I
happen
to
have
seen
talking
about
Boulder
and
people
in
Boulder
are
among
the
happiest
in
the
country.
But
what
didn't
really
get
covered
in
that
article
is
at
what
cost
and
when
you,
when
you
dig
into
the
the
really
severe
impacts
on
the
demographics
on
the
affordability
to
me,
looking
at
the
the
Boulder
model
is
frankly
it's
it's
probably
one
of
the
worst
case
scenarios.
J
You
have
single-family
homes
bumping
up
around
a
million
dollars
for
a
median
price,
they've
lost,
I,
think
30
percent
of
their
black
population
in
the
past
five
or
six
years,
that's
down
from
0.9
percent
in
the
first
place.
At
the
same
time,
their
populations
increased
ten
thousand.
So
to
me,
that's
not
a
model
that
I
want
to
follow.
J
We
have
an
environment
where
a
lot
of
developers
are
coming
to
town
looking
to
do
projects
big
projects.
Why
is
that
it's?
Because
Evanston
is
a
great
place
to
live.
It's
ideally
located.
Why
wouldn't
people
want
to
live
here
right?
That's
why
you're
all
here
you're
all
here,
because
you
love
Evanston,
everybody's
passionate
about
this
place.
J
People
are
passionate
of
protecting
it,
but
when
you
have
something
of
great
great
value,
other
people
want
to
participate
in
that
and
I
get
that
and
I
can
appreciate
that
it's
important
for
us
to
protect
what
we
have,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
important
for
us
not
to
inadvertently
harm
the
people
around
us,
putting
a
building
on
an
empty
lot
or
effectively.
An
empty
lot
is
not
running
anyone
out
of
town.
That's
just
not
true,
if
we
add
more
units
to
the
housing
stock,
somebody
made
a
comment
about
the
park.
J
Evanston
they're
going
to
be
putting
more
money
into
that
to
improve
it.
Why
are
they
doing
that
they're
doing
that,
because
they
can
charge
more
rents?
Someone
else
made
a
comment
about
one
of
the
other
buildings
being
concerned
about
the
competition.
The
only
way
to
stabilize
those
prices.
Okay,
remember
econ
class
from
high
school.
You
have
to
get
enough
supply,
so
the
prices
stabilize
or
those
prices
will
continue
to
escalate.
J
I
read
an
opinion
piece
in
The
Denver
Post
about
Boulder,
and
they
were
talking
about
the
idea
that
what
what
that
community
is
doing
is
they
they
described
it
as
creating
it's
keeping
the
working
poor
asset,
poor
and
creating
a
permanent
underclass.
We
don't
want
to
do
that
here
and
putting
this
building
up
does
not
contribute
to
that.
In
fact,
it
does
the
opposite.
It's
not
running
anybody
out
of
town
the
2009
plan
that
a
lot
of
people
are
saying
we
need
to
follow
the
2009
plan.
I've
talked
about
this
a
lot.
J
The
2009
plan
calls
for
a
lot
of
large
buildings
west
of
the
tracks,
so
for
those
of
you
are
concerned
about
gentrification
this
building
in
this
weird
quirky
little
corner-
that's
not
too
gentrifying,
but
if
you
go
when
you
look
at
the
2009
plan,
if
you
look
at
the
plan,
you
will
see
large
buildings
west
of
the
tracks
encroaching
on
the
neighborhoods.
Okay
I
think
that's
gonna,
you're
gonna
find
that
that
is
much
more
closely
tailored.
So
the
thing
that
you're
afraid
of
happening,
so
a
number
of
people
early
on
in
this
process,
sat
down.
J
Looked
me
in
the
eye
and
wanted
restaurants,
or
you
know,
high-end
housing,
things
of
that
nature
and
it's
interesting
to
see
how
the
arguments
have
evolved
from
that
to
the
affordable
housing.
I
appreciate
the
commitment
of
people
who
are
talking
about
affordable
housing,
I
truly
do
but
I.
Don't
think
that
this
building
is
hurting
that
when
the
when
the
proposal
was
first
made,
it
was
compliant
with
the
code
they
were
going
to
have
a
couple
units
have
been.
They
were
gonna
put
the
full
amounts
of
the
money
in
that
is
code
compliant.
J
They
could
have
done
that
and
been
code
compliant,
but
a
lot
of
people
in
the
community
voiced
an
opinion
that
it
was
important
to
have
units
in
the
building
when
we
passed
the
ordinance
in
the
first
place.
I
and
some
of
my
colleagues
had
very
strong
reservations
about
the
economic
impact.
What
didn't
get
addressed
was
the
actual
cost
of
putting
the
units
in
so
what
I,
sometimes
wonder
is
for
some
of
the
people
who
were
saying
now
late
in
the
game.
J
You
have
to
put
all
the
units
in
you
have
to
put
all
the
units
in
I
wonder
if
that's
really
just
a
way
to
kind
of
try
to
you
know,
steer
us
towards
that
Boulder
model.
I,
don't
want
to
do
that.
I
want
us
to
be
thoughtful
about
making
sure
that
we
maintain
affordability
in
our
community
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
improve
our
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
so
that
it
is
functional
so
that
we
can
have
an
ordinance
that
works.
J
It's
not
one
or
two
sizes
fits
all
and
that
it
accomplishes
the
goals
that
we're
trying
to
accomplish.
In
the
interim,
we've
got
somebody
who's
willing
to
invest
a
large
amount
of
money
in
the
community,
they're
willing
to
put
some
units
in,
and
this
is
not
the
terrible
terrible
thing
that
some
people
are
making
it
out
to
be.
J
For
those
of
you
who
are
working
on
the
affordable
housing
issues.
I
want
you
to
stay
committed,
just
like
with
the
lake
house
thing
stay
involved
and
stay
committed.
We
have
a
bunch
of
other
projects
that,
frankly,
some
of
those
are
not
nearly
as
appealing
as
this,
so
we
have
to
be
diligent
on
what
we're.
What
we're
asking
from
from
the
developers.
We
have
to
be
diligent
and
expeditious
in
developing
a
better
inclusionary
housing,
ordinance
and
I.
J
Think
if
we
follow
what
we
believe
in
and
follow
our
core
values,
we
are
going
to
accomplish
a
lot
but
sitting
on
an
empty
lot
or
building
a
lovely,
extended,
dining
experience
doesn't
accomplish
those
goals.
We
have
businesses
and
we've
heard
from
them.
They
are
very
concerned
about
their
viability.
Restaurants
are
concerned
about
foot
traffic
now
points
that
I
think
are
very,
very
important
and
I'm,
not
forgetting
is
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
significant
impact
on
existing
businesses.
I
have
high
expectations
of
the
developer.
J
I
have
high
expectations
of
how
the
construction
process
is
going
to
proceed.
I
am
very
disappointed
with
the
way
the
contractors
have
executed
on
the
Fountain
Square
project.
I
will
not
let
our
staff
tolerate
more
of
that,
so
that
is
of
great
importance.
I
expect
the
process
to
proceed
in
an
orderly
fashion.
I
expect
the
businesses
that
are
impacted
where
I'm
a
customer
customer
my
family
is
a
customer.
These
are
important
businesses
to
myself
my
family
in
our
community.
We
want
them
to
stay.
We
want
them
to
remain
viable.
J
CF
Well,
on
the
matter
of
construction,
while
the
buildings
being
constructed,
I,
don't
believe
albian
is
going
to
allow
for
a
sloppy
construction.
I,
that's
just
not
going
to
happen,
and-
and
it's
just
not
gonna
happen,
there's
just
that.
It's
just
not
gonna
happen.
I
wanna
I
want
to
talk
to
somebody
who
mentioned
they
live
in
the
orange.
CF
The
building
with
the
orange
balconies
I
I,
don't
know
if
you
were
hanging
out
around
here
when
they
were
building
talking
about
building
that
building
but
boy
everybody
hated
the
idea
that
building
so
you're
living
in
a
building
that
everybody
hated
before
it
got
built
and
look.
We
all
survived
it's
so
amazing
and
Sherman
Plaza,
oh,
my
god
that
was
going
to
be
the
end
of
life.
As
we
know
it,
I
mean
you
cannot
build
Sherman
Plaza,
though
it's
it's
just
gonna
be
horrible,
nobody's
gonna
be
able
to
get
around.
CF
We
all
survived
it,
and
the
same
is
going
to
be
with
this
building
and
for
for
miss
Payton
to
to
take
this
building
and
pit
it
against
her
properties.
That's
ridiculous!
We
cannot
Pit
one
set
of
housing
1
one
kind
of
housing
against
another
kind
of
housing.
I
no
longer
support
the
idea
of
putting
all
affordable
housing
in
high-rise
buildings.
Think
of
what
we're
talking
about
now,
I
think
it
might
be
a
good
idea
to
put
a
bunch
of
large
units
in
high-rise
buildings,
but
to
just
think
about
that.
CF
A
A
CD
CF
CF
CD
Is
my
first
time
speaking
of
this,
despite
all
the
emails
that
have
accused
me
of
not
speaking
so
I
have
a
couple
things
to
say
one
to
mr.
UO
who
I
don't
even
know,
I
I
applaud
your
patience
because
I,
you
know
you're
here
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
stuff
said
about
you
that
I
hope
you
actually
did
not
say.
I've
I,
don't
know,
but
such
as
applaud
your
patience.
The
second
thing
is:
I
have
to
tell
you
I'm,
not
a
development
person
I.
CD
You
know
the
building
doesn't
speak
to
me
and
what-have-you,
but
it
has
been
disheartening
for
me
as
a
lifetime
of
Estonian,
to
hear
this
conversation.
I
am
all
about
affordable
housing.
I
am
you
know,
I
guess.
Progressive
I
obviously
appreciate
diversity
as
a
person
of
color,
but
to
hear
some
things
that
have
been
said
about
this
building
have
been
really
disheartening
and
I.
CD
Try
to
think
that
it's
because
of
the
political
climate
we
live
in
nationally,
but
to
hear
that
you
know
this
building
is
the
epitome
of
white
supremacy
and,
and
this
building
is
why
black
people
don't
live
here.
You
know
I'm
I'm,
a
black
person
and
I
know
black
people
who
don't
live
here
and
I
know
black
people
who
are
moving
and
more
of
them
are
moving
because
of
the
referendum
that
has
spiked
everyone's
property
taxes.
Then
you
know
because
of
Albion
and
I
knocked
on
every
door.
CD
Everything
but
I
also
understand
that
you
know
we
are
community
and
everything
is
not
for
everybody,
and
so
there's
plenty
of
things
that
I'm
gonna
vote
on
and
I
support
that
I
wouldn't
spend
my
money
on
personally,
but
I
understand,
there's
a
greater
good
and
so
I
just
would
encourage
people
who
have
signed
this
petition,
who
have
called
an
email
to
stay
engaged
but
to
make
sure
you're
engaged
on
the
factual
things.
I
think
it's
very
easy
to
pick.
CD
So
we
definitely
can
talk
about
race
and
everyone
up
here
knows:
I
can
talk
about
race
all
night,
but
I
will
not
say
that
this
building
is
causing
a
racial
divide.
We
have
other
things
that
cause
racial
divides.
So,
let's
be
honest
about
what
those
are
and
not
blame
them
of
Mr
Ewell,
and
so
my
last
thing
real
quick
is
that
I
also
want
to
just
well.
You
know,
you
know.
CD
I
also
just
want
to
speak
about
the
community
benefits,
because
that
is
the
area
which
I
wish
that
the
developer
had
worked
a
little
harder
on
just
because
I
understand
that
things
he
has
proposed
and
they
will
be
lovely
for
his
space,
and
you
know
some
surrounding
space
around
him,
but
there's
other
parts
of
our
city
that
might
be
able
to
use
art
or
so
on
and
so
forth.
So,
in
my
opinion,
a
community
benefit
is
something
that
will
go
anywhere
in
the
community.
CD
That's
going
to
benefit
everyone,
not
just
people
who
live
around
a
certain
area
and
I
know
there's
parts
of
the
city
that
don't
get
the
same
support
because
they
don't
have
economic
development
as
downtown
does
and
so
I
would
love
to
have
seen
community
benefits
be
spread
out
further
around
the
city,
not
just
around
this
building.
Thank.
CC
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
no
as
I
said
two
weeks
ago,
I
do
not
support
this
project,
but,
like
Alderman,
Fleming
I
do
think.
Mr
Ewell
has
worked
very
hard
and
it's
remarkably
patient.
With
this
process.
I
we've
had
other
developers
come
to
the
city,
who
have
not
been
nearly
as
willing
to
make
changes
in
a
building
to
listen
to
the
level
of
public
comment
that
we
have
had.
CC
The
vitriol
that
we
have
all
listened
to,
I
think
is
out
of
proportion
to
what
this
building
is
doing
in
our
downtown
and
I
am
very
sorry
about
that
night.
I
think
we
all
need
to
take
three
or
four
steps
back
in
terms
of
the
level
of
anger
and
outrage
and
vitriol
that
we
all
feel
I
disagree
with
the
way
alderman
Rainey
is
going
to
vote.
CC
Know
and
that's
part
of
our
job
and
I
just
want
to
point
that
out
that
there
are
four
of
us
up
here
who
are
opposed
to
this
building,
and
yet
all
of
you
and
I
don't
need
a
pat
on
the
back.
But
I
just
want
to
say
you
know,
is
part
of
persuading
that's
what
the
point
is
to
persuade
I'm
a
lawyer
I've
been
in
front
of
judges
who
I
know
I,
don't
like,
but
I
work
to
make
them
see.
CC
My
argument
so
I
think
this
block
is
both
a
transitional
block
and
is
a
traditional
block,
and
it
was
recognized
by
that
in
our
downtown
plan.
It
isn't
that
we
designated
that
and
that
we
are
making
creating
that
we
recognize
the
value
of
transitional
areas
and
are
in
our
zoning
and
they
have
to
be
respected
and
when
we
don't
value
those-
and
we
don't
recognize
how
important
they
are,
we
really
damage
the
overall
fabric
of
the
how
our
zoning
fits
together,
and
that
is
why
I
am
opposed
to
this
building.
CC
It's
too
big,
it's
too
dense,
and
it
is
not
transitional
and
that's
really
important
and
alderman.
Ravel
and
I
have
already
discussed
ways
in
which
we
can
find
parts
of
our
downtown
plan.
The
2009
plan
that
parts
of
it
are
excellent
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
endorse
and
send
the
message
out
to
the
development
community.
This
is
what
we
are
looking
for
in
our
community,
because
we
can't
continue
to
have
this
kind
of
pitched
ferocious
battle
in
our
community.
CC
It's
too
damaging,
and
the
council
needs
to
take
ownership
of
the
fact
that
we
need
to
make
sure
we
have
a
clear
plan
that
the
development
community
knows
and
the
so
and
the
citizens
understand
so
that
you
all
don't
have
to
become
experts
in
zoning
and
the
development
community
doesn't
have
to
spend
enormous
amounts
of
money
on
something
that
then
gets
changed.
That
is
not
productive
for
any
of
us,
so
I
am
voting
no
on
this
project.
I
think
we
need
something
better.
CC
Please
please
don't
but
I
do
respect
my
other
council
members
for
their
how
thoughtful
they
have
been
about
this
we've
all
received.
Just
over
the
weekend,
I've
received
300
emails
about
issues
that
we've
had.
We
have
that
are
coming
before
the
council
tonight
on
tonight's
meeting
and
I
know.
We
have
all
read
this
material.
We've
listened
to
all
of
you
and
we've
done
our
own
independent
research,
I
didn't
realize
alderman
Wilson
was
sitting
here.
CC
H
You
mr.
mayor
I'd,
look
I'm,
think
it's
just
a
tiny
bit
differently.
I,
having
spent
most
of
my
adult
life
sitting
on
that
side
of
the
dais
in
the
audience.
Trying
to
convince
one
or
two
people
appear
to
see
things
my
way
and
one
of
the
things
I've
tried
to
do
as
alderman
is
to
reinforce
not
only
to
my
colleagues
but
to
the
audience
as
well.
Is
that
we
we
need
to
have
ordinances
and
policies
that
are
clear
to
the
public
and
the
zoning
ordinance
is
one
thing.
H
H
So
this
this
is
the
Bible
as
far
as
development
is
concerned
and
I'm
sure
she
remembers
that
but
I
I
want
for
our
public
and
our
residents
to
be
able
to
know
when
they
pick
up
the
zoning
ordinance.
What
it
is
that
might
be
built
on
a
certain
site
and
I,
and
we
don't
have
that
right
now
and
that
becomes
very
frustrating
and
becomes
very
frustrating
when
people
can't
figure
out
what
it
is
that
we're
talking
about.
H
What
the
rules
are
where
we're
going
what's,
and
especially
now
that
we're
talking
about
public
benefits
and
planned
developments,
and
all
of
this,
it's
very
frustrating
to
people
and
I
I-
know
that
firsthand
and
I'm
sensitive
to
that
I.
Don't
support
this
building
as
I've
told
all
of
you
a
million
times
before
the
building
is
too
large.
It's
too
dense.
The
problem
with
the
site
is,
is
something
that
can't
be
overcome.
H
It's
to
me
like
putting
a
size,
10
foot
into
a
size,
4
shoe
you
just
you
can't
get
a
good
result
here
and
but
with
the
different
development
and
a
different
design
you
could,
and
that's
part
of
what's
so
frustrating
to
me
is
that
we
could
have
a
good
design
on
this
block,
but
we
can
only
have
a
good
design
if
we
have
a
developer.
Who
we've
told?
That's,
that's
what
we
want
and
to
me
that's
what
our
zoning
ordinance
is.
H
H
H
As
far
as
our
you
know,
going
forward,
one
of
the
challenges
to
the
entire
council
is
going
to
be.
You
know
looking
looking
at
what
we
want
to
include
as
public
benefits.
You
all
have
heard
me
say:
I
don't
want
to
hear
about
divvy
bike
stations
anymore
in
my
entire
life,
you
know:
I
love,
Divi,
bikes,
I'm,
always
happy
when
I
see
someone
riding
them,
but
I
don't
consider
that
a
public
benefit
and
I
said
my
colleagues
on
the
council
do,
and
so
we
need
to
have
that
discussion.
H
So
again,
for
all
the
reasons
I've
said
over
and
over
again,
I
will
be
voting
against
this.
My
one
caution
is
that
I'm
firmly
convinced
that
we're
over
building
rental
residential
in
the
downtown
and
I,
don't
I,
think
we've
done.
We
we've
done
enough.
H
This
is
a
block
that
needs
development.
I
mean
the
buildings
are
not
of
a
very
high
quality.
We
could
do.
I
can
think
of
a
number
of
really
interesting
developments
we
could
do.
This
is
a
block
that
needs
development.
It
needs
to
be
cleaned
up
so
that
part
of
it
I
certainly
support,
but
I
want
all
of
you
to
now
that
you
know
as
much
as
you
do
about
how
things
these
things
are
done.
We
need
you
to
always
stay
engaged,
especially
as
these
other
projects
are
coming
down
the
road
we
need.
CF
CF
Really
because
it's
illegal
and
usually
we
don't
get
to
talk
to
each
other
in
a
group,
because
it's
usually
10:30
or
11:00
o'clock
when
we
get
to
talk
to
each
other
in
a
group
and
the
way
public
benefits
come
about
is
that
our
staff
lays
them
out
to
a
developer
and
a
developer
says:
oh,
okay,
that's
what
you
want
me
to
do
as
a
public
benefit.
That's
what
I'll
do
so
two
of
us
can
speak
to
one
another.
CF
We
can
discuss
an
item
on
an
agenda
or
an
item
before
the
council,
so
alderman,
Simmons
and
I
were
talking
and
she
said
well,
I
think
this
divvy
bike
thing
is
just
really
ridiculous
and
I
said
well.
I
think
this
public
art
thing
is
ridiculous.
So
we
put
our
heads
together,
the
oldest
brain
and
the
youngest
brain,
and
we
came
up
with
some
really
good
ideas
and
we
went
to
the
developer
Mr
Ewell
and
we
sat
down
with
him
and
we
had
a
conversation
and
I'm
gonna.
CF
Let
alderman
Simmons
tell
you
about
her
conversation
and
I'm,
going
to
tell
you
about
mine
I'm,
going
to
make
an
amendment
tonight
to
the
public
benefit
having
to
do
with
the
arts.
Part
we're
not
adding
a
nickel
to
his
to
mr.
eul's
or
to
Albion's
public
art
contribution.
However,
we
are
going
to
add
to
the
expanse
to
which
the
public
art
effects
you
want
to
talk
about
affecting
the
whole
city.
CF
So
the
idea
we
came
up
for
with
for
public
art
is,
we
are
proposing
and
the
developer
loves
it
and
Paul
Goran
superintendent
of
district
65
thinks
it's
fabulous,
as
does
the
head
of
Arts
or
whatever
that
person's
title
is
at
district
65.
We
are
proposing.
The
$50,000
goes
to
district
65
for
the
purpose
of
serving
every
single
seventh
grade
student
to
experience
a
performing
arts
performance,
in
other
words
every
seventh-grade
class,
once
the
once.
The
money
comes
in
is
paid.
CE
CE
Absolutely
I
think
that
much
of
the
public
benefit
were
actually
amenities
to
the
property
and
not
not
good
enough.
So
I
didn't
start
at
replacing
the
divi
bike,
which
I
disagree
with
as
a
public
benefit,
but
I
did
challenge
Mr
Ewell
to
increase
the
50%
AMI
units,
and
we
talked
about
that
from
I,
believe
that
that
has
been
changed.
So
we
have
50%
ami
units
where,
before
we
were
at
80%
and
60%,
so
that's
going
to
allow
for
more
affordable
units
in
the
building.
CE
We
have
been
registered
in
the
West
End
of
Evanston
as
a
food
desert
with
the
Chicago
Food
Depository,
and
we
have
a
underserved
farmers
market
and
within
a
one-mile
radius.
We're
do
not
have
access
to
fresh
food,
so
my
proposal
in
lieu
of
the
divi
bike
was
a
freight
farm,
which
is
a
really
innovative
and
I
want
to
tell
you.
It
was
inspired
by
a
resident
that
had
a
suggestion.
Mr.
Katz.
CF
CE
Katz,
okay,
so
I
had
a
couple
of
residents,
give
some
some
suggestions
and
the
freight
farm
is
equivalent.
It's
a
it's
a
freight
container,
it's
360
square
feet.
It
produces
2
to
4
tons
of
produce
per
per
year.
It
takes
only
10
gallons
of
water
and
about
10
hours
of
labor
to
harvest,
and
it
would
be
an
opportunity
for
food
and
secure
residents
to
have
access
to
fresh
foods.
It
would
be
a
nice
resource
for
our
farmers
market.
That's
at
church
in
Dodge,
currently,
as
you
know,
has
very
little
participation
from
farmers
for
various
reasons.
CE
So
that
was
my
proposal.
We
could
use
again
the
Evanston
high
school
student
body
to
harvest
it
as
possibly
a
stem
project,
a
entrepreneur
project,
one
in
engineering.
It's
one
that
I've
mentioned
to
staff
have
not
worked
it
out,
but
if
the
high
school
is
unwilling,
I'm
sure
that
there
are
other
organizations
in
town,
possibly
edible,
evanston
or
some
other
nonprofit,
that's
concerned
about
food
and
securities.
So
that
was
my
suggestion.
CE
In
addition
to
that,
having
some
of
the
objections
and
concerns
in
the
Downtown
Evanston
and
the
lack
of
activities
for
our
young
people
and
some
recent
activities
that
happened
this
summer,
so
that
was
very
strategic
and
thoughtful
in
that
seven
grade
class
that
wasn't
just
a
random
age
group,
it's
a
group,
it's
a
population
that
currently
does
not
have
access
to
recreation
that
they
would
like.
They
don't
qualify
first
time
of
job
program,
they're
too
cool
to
hang
out
with
their
parents.
They
want
some.
You
know
some
independence
and
something
else
to
do
so.
A
H
I
feel
a
little
uncomfortable
about
this.
I
have
to
tell
you
that
I
I
I
would
expect,
and
maybe
I'm
just
not
Eve,
but
I
would
expect
that
we
would
have
a
list
of
public
benefits
that
we
could
draw
from
not
just
come
up
with
a
public
benefit
that
happens
for
each
particular
development,
but
I
mean
I.
Think
I
don't
disagree
with
any
of
the
ones
that
you
had
suggested.
The
two
that
you
would
just
say
suggested
just
now,
I'm,
not
sure
I
mean
it
in
our
packet.
It
says.
H
H
What
we're
going
to
be
voting
on
and
I
I
need
to
have
public
benefits,
spelled
out
here's
our
list
of
public
benefits,
and
if
we're
going
to
add
to
that
list
of
public
benefits,
then
we
should
talk
about
it
as
a
council
in
planning
and
development
or
wherever
and
come
up
with
a
list
of
public
benefits.
Not
just
have
them
bounce
up
at
the
last
minute.
H
So
I
think
it's
great
for
seventh
graders
to
go
to
plays
I
is.
Is
that
the
public
benefit
we
want?
We
should
be
talking
about
it.
I
just
I
I
want
us
to
do
things
in
a
way
again,
that's
transparent
to
the
public
that
they
know
what
this
election
would
be.
So
it
doesn't
appear
that
we're
just
flying
by
the
seat
of
our
pants
and
some
of
these
things,
because
it's
not
it's.
That's
not
a
good
place
to
be
coming
from.
Okay,.
CC
At
the
either
the
last
public
Planning
and
Development
Committee
or
the
prior
one,
I
specifically
made
a
request
of
the
community
development
staff
that
we
have
a
discussion
about
what
our
public
benefits
for
for
here
in
Evanston.
What
we
all
can
agree
on
I
think
these
are
interesting
ideas,
but
recognizing
that
this
list
on
this
particular
project
was
not
one
that
would
satisfied
a
number
of
us
here
on
the
council.
I
asked
the
Community
Development
Director
at
at
a
meeting.
CC
An
upcoming
meeting
to
first
have
to
prepare
a
memo
to
to
talk
about
what
are
potential.
Other
public
benefits.
What
we've
recognized
here
in
Evanston
as
public
benefits,
what
other
communities
are
using
as
public
benefits
and
to
really
think
in
a
very
innovative
way,
or
what
are
public
benefits
so
that
we
can
make
suggestions
to
future
developers
on
here.
CC
CF
Mr.
mayor,
what
I'm
going
to
propose
is
that
we
move
approval
of
this
project
and
leave
the
identification
of
the
public
benefits.
The
amount
allotted
to
public
benefits.
The
total
amount
allowed
it
to
public
benefits
in
the
in
the
ordinance,
but
the
identification
of
those
public
benefits
blank
for
the
time
being,
but
we
need
to
move
this
along
there's
issues
having
to
do
with
financing,
etc,
etc.
BP
J
Right
just
to
make
sure
I'm
clear,
so
all
the
remaining
basically
we've
got
the
list
on
pages
4,
67
and
468.
So
you're
saying
we
leave
this
list,
but
for
you
know,
you're
talking
about
the
arts
question,
for
example,
in
it
before
it's
an
amount
for
public
art,
but
it
doesn't
say
exactly
what
this
art
programs
gonna
be
so
we'll
just
leave
it,
as
is.
CF
CE

Have
a
motion
on

BP
CC
A
A
BH
BH
A
Man
we
have
been
talking
about
this
issue
on
this
all
bein
development.
Let's
just
be
clear
everyone
we
have
been
taught.
We
have
been
talking
about
it.
There
are
many
people
in
Evanston
you
guys
there
were
75,000
people
in
Evanston.
There
were
300
or
200
here
tonight.
Okay,
all
right,
we
under
we
understand
we
understand.
Thank
you.
Everyone,
okay,
we're
gonna
move
to
we're.
Gonna
move
to
the
next
item
that
was
taken
off
the
agenda,
which
was
the
appointments.
Okay,
just
about
one
comment,
one
one
comment.
BD
CD
A
Ma'am
this
we
can
talk
after
after
the
meeting.
If
you
want
to
stick
around
alright
I
try
to
be
responsive
to
people
in
my
emails
back
to
them.
Okay,
the
appointments
at
the
last
affordable
housing
meeting
there
were
requests
to
create
a
subcommittee.
There
are
four
aldermen
on
that
subcommittee
and
then
you
ask
the
mayor
to
come
forward
with
three
additional
ones:
us
that
these
be
folks
that
have
experience
in
real
estate
development
as
well
as
financing
of
real
estate.
We
put
three
candidates
forward
tonight
and
alderman
Fisk.
A
H
And
thank
you
mr.
mayor
I
I'm
just
concerned
because
I
you
know
this
is
an
important
committee.
It's
basically
going
to
be
writing
our
inclusionary
housing,
ordinance
and
I.
Think
the
folks
from
the
community
that
are
serving
on
the
committee
ought
to
have
demonstrated
experience
in
affordable
housing
and
I.
Don't
see
that
in
all
cases,
so
I
will
be
voting
against
the
appointments.
Thank.
A
CF
CD
So
late
tonight,
I'm
sorry
so
I
sure
I
mean
I.
Don't
know
these
people
I'm
totally
trusting
you
all,
but
I
do
share
alderman
Fisk
I
am
fine
with
them
having
real
estate
experience.
I
think
that's
important,
but
I
would
like
them
to
have
had
some
experience
in
affordable
housing
as
well.
As
you
know,
I,
don't
know
a
little
more
advocacy.
CD
A
H
A
Mean
so
I
I
followed
right.
The
rules
were
that
you
guys
lay
down
before
which
I
said
hey.
We
want
development,
we
want
real
estate
finance
and
that's
what
I've
brought
I've
brought
the
City
Council
I
am
certainly
what
I
would
suggest.
Is
the
council
move
forward
with
these?
But
if
the
council
says
hey,
you
know
what
we're
willing
to
make
this
an
eight
or
a
nine
person
committee,
because
right
now
it's
seven
people,
okay
with
four
aldermen
in
three
Outsiders.
If
you
say
hey,
we
want
two
more
and
we
would
like
them
to
be.
A
CF
G
I
think
I'm,
echoing
alderman
Rainey.
What
I
would
look
for
is
somebody
who
can
help
me
understand
how
a
developer
decides,
how
many
affordable
units
he
or
she
can
put
into
a
project
and
how?
How
do
they
run
those
calculations
to
decide
what's
doable
and
not
doable,
so
those
are.
That
is
the
kind
of
expertise
that
I'm
looking
for
excuse.
G
H
F
H
I
may
well
that's
why
we
need
a
developer
with
experience
with
affordable
housing
in
their
residential
units
so
that
we
can
know
how
they,
how
they
decide
about
that
and
I'm
just
worried
that
the
committee
doesn't
include
that
I
would.
A
CE
I
support
what
you're
saying
about
the
background,
but
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
add
someone
from
the
advocacy
community
someone
that
kind
of
supports
the
voice
of
those
that
need
housing,
so
that
might
be
someone
from
the
nonprofit
world
or
someone.
That's
overcome
barriers
to
affordable
housing.
I!
Don't
I!
Don't
object
to
these,
but
I
would
like
to
add
someone
to
balance
that
committee
out.
AV
D
We,
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
this
is
a
special
committee,
the
council's
creating
you
don't
need
to
go
to
rules.
So
if
you'd
like
to
go
from
seven
to
nine,
you
can
just
say
you
want
to
go
to
seven
to
nine
and
I.
Think
it's
just
a
matter
of.
Do
you
wish
to
act
on
the
three
before
you
tonight?
Do
you
wish
to
hold
them
for
a
meeting
or
two
with
the
other
members
I
think
that's
the
questions
before
you
I
think.
A
BD
A
CD
A
Z
AD
A
Right
and
and
I
would
ask
you
guys
if
you
have
suggestions
for
me,
please
go
ahead
and
email
me
okay,
this
week,
that
would
be
great
okay.
Now
we
are
going
to
move
back
to
the
sp2.
Okay
in
case
you
forgot
all
right.
We
still
have
more
on
our
agenda
tonight.
Sp
2
is
the
2018
proposed
budget
adjustments.
Our
city
manager
and
city
staff
have
been
working
with
each
of
each
of
us
and
I
know
they
have
some
discussion
tonight
for
the
council
to
consider.
So
so.
D
Mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
it's
11:05.
We
need
you
to
have
an
executive
session
on
labor
negotiations.
We
have
another
meeting
scheduled
next
Monday
evening,
concurrently
to
start
at
7
o'clock.
Would
you
perhaps
consider
starting
at
6
o'clock
next
week
and
not
doing
any
further
discussion
on
the
budget
tonight
and
have
abandoned
it's
a
basically
a
1
item
agenda
will
have
the
ordinances
for
some
of
the
feet.
Changes
and
things
for
introduction.
I
think
we're
on
track
to
make
several
adjustments
so
we've
gone
ahead
and
prepared
those
those
ordinances.
D
I
would
ask
that
you
make
sure
they're
to
read
mr.
Lyons
this
memo.
There
are
some
adjustments
we've
needed
to
make
with
the
property
tax.
We
are
proposing,
adding
an
adjustment
to
the
gasoline
tax.
We've
got
information
in
there
on
forestry
issues.
There
is
a
job
description
that
we're
looking
to
provide
for
you
for
the
victim
services
positions.
D
Director,
Thomas
Smith,
has
been
out
of
town
she's,
returned
I,
think
you
she
was
here
she's
in
the
hallway
and
we'll
have
that
to
in
a
few
days.
So
if
you
would
consider
a
6
o'clock
start
next
Tuesday,
then
we
could
say
next:
Monday
I'm,
sorry
Monday,
the
20th
of
November.
We
could
dispense
with
the
rest
for
this
evening
and
just
go
into
executive
session
and
be
done.
I.
D
And-And-And
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
one
final
point:
you'll
note:
in
the
budget
balancing
worksheet
there
is
the
reduction
for
the
City
Council's
budget,
which
we've
not
yet
discussed,
there's
also
a
reduction
for
the
city,
clerk's
budget,
the
city
clerk
has
talked
with
the
budget
staff.
He
wishes
to
move
forward
with
an
additional
staff
member
which
is
referenced
in
the
budget.
Memo
I,
think
clerk,
read
your
planning
and
providing
some
additional
information
to
the
council.
Perhaps
what's.
D
To
put
a
point
on
that,
the
the
current
proposed
budget
has
one
deputy
city
clerk,
not
two
deputy
city
clerk,
so
the
city
clerk
would
like
the
council
to
consider
two
deputy
city
clerks.
Is
that
a
fair
assessment?
Maintaining?
Yes,
it's
not
maintaining
its?
It
is
different
from
the
base
budget,
so
so.
D
D
CD
H
D
Correct
the
council:
the
council
really
has
made
no
no
changes.
The
staff
has
put
back
in
the
victim
services
using
the
the
the
Youth
Services
position,
so
that
positions
have
been
added
back
in
it.
Mr.
blinds
is
memorandum.
We've
had
to
make
some
adjustments
on
the
property
tax
levy,
which
were
not
asking
the
council
to
considered
an
additional
property
tax
increase,
but
instead
some
other
adjustments,
including
an
increase
to
the
gasoline
tax.
So
any
other
adjustments
the
council
wishes
to
make
needs
to
be
further
discussed
and
would
dennis
straw
vote
in
the
past.
D
That
would
be
appropriate
for
next
Monday
evening.
I'm
alderman
Fleming
has
some
issues
that
she
wishes
to
bring
before
the
council.
So
there's
there's
probably
six
eight
issues
that
are
still,
in
my
estimation,
still
unresolved
with
the
council,
so
next
Monday
evening
would
be
the
evening
to
resolve
those
okay.
H
D
AK
D
CF

A
CD
Will
be
a
ninth
board
meeting
on
Saturday
morning
at
9:00
a.m.
at
Reba
place
I?
Think
it's
got
ministry
center,
so
there'll
be
an
email
that
comes
out
and
I
also
want
to
congratulate
Sketchbook
brewery
I,
believe
they
just
celebrated
four
years
and
while
they
are
not
technically
a
ninth
for
two
of
their
owners
do
live
in
the
Ninth
Ward.
So
congratulations,
alderman.
N
N
The
first
was
their
event
that
was
hosted
by
Leafs
Altenburg
and
also
Lani
Barefield.
They
had
over
600
attendees
and
basically
honored
the
last
10
years
of
honorees
special
note
to
honorable
Dolores
Holmes
in
our
own
director,
Vonda
Thomas.
They
had
over
600
attendees.
They
raised
over
200k
during
their
paddle
race
and
I.
Think,
if
anything
that,
for
anyone
that
attended
the
event
was
very
well
organised,
that
we
definitely
need
a
banquet
venue
that
hosts
over
500
I
think
we're
really
missing
opportunities.
N
Every
time
I
have
to
go
or
we
have
to
go
outside
of
Evanston
to
host
large
events.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
note.
The
other
wonderful
news
of
the
YWCA
finished
in
first
place.
They
raised
over
five
hundred
fifty
six
four
hundred
three
dollars
for
their
purple
purse
tour
and
a
result
of
placing
first
they
received
100k
and
I
hope.
I
wrote
this
down
right,
I
believe
is
from
the
Allstate
and
one
of
their
initial
yeah
and
Asian
foundation.
N
So
a
great
job,
Karen
singer
and
her
staff,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
all
the
wonderful
work
that
you
do
here
in
town.
The
other
thing
that
I
and
I
attended
with
the
mayor
and
a
few
other
folks
here
in
town,
was
the
art
of
evolution,
theater
company
partnered
with
mudlark,
and
they
did
a
four-day
presentation
which
was
just
phenomenal,
talented
cast
of
youth.
They
were
presenting
on
issues
that
surrounded
race
and
I'll.
Tell
you
and
all
of
the
community
discussions
that
I've
had
over
the
years.
N
I
was
really
impressed
by
the
young
talent
and
their
ability
to
take
on
some
serious
issues
and
stereotypes
from
their
own
perspective.
I
don't
know
when
and
where
we'll
see
them
again,
but
I
definitely
think
it's
something
to
be
paid
attention
to.
So
my
last
thing
is
a
referral
to
the
plan
and
development
there's
project
in
the
second
Ward
we've
talked
about
it.
