All
right
right,
terrific,
welcome
everybody
to
the
Monday
October,
8th,
2018,
Evanston,
City
Council
meeting
welcome
all
they're
in
homes,
their
former
alderman
homes
out
there,
okay.
Well,
we've
got
a
great
great
crowd.
We
also
have
a
lot
of
young
people
that
are
here
and
so
I'm
gonna
move
things
slightly
around
because
I
just
want
to
have
Lawrence
Hemingway
come
up
here
and
let's
recognize
all
these
young
folks
that
I
just
got
to
spend
a
few
minutes
with
in
the
mayor's
office
and
start
it
off
that
way.
A
D
E
E
The
Parks
and
Recreation
and
Community
Services
Department
would
like
to
recognize
two
of
our
theatres
on
ice
teams.
Theodore
nice
is
a
form
of
competitive
figure
skating.
Combining
the
grace
of
figure
skating
with
the
excitement
of
theater
and
dance
theater
or
nice
is
a
creation
using
all
aspects
of
figure
skating,
incorporating
a
theme,
emotion
of
story,
enhanced
by
music
teens
practice
twice
a
week
at
Robert,
Crown,
Community
Centre
from
January
up
to
June
when
the
national
competition
is
held.
E
This
this
past
summer
for
the
2018
season,
the
department
had
two
theatres
on
ice
teams
competing
at
the
national
competition
in
Geneva
Illinois.
Our
preliminary
team
placed
fourth
and
earned
a
pewter
medal,
and
our
intermediate
team
placed
first
overall
and
won
the
national
championship.
So
please
give
these
young
ladies,
a
round
of
applause
for
their
national
championships.
Ever
since
on
theater
on
ice
team.
A
All
right,
I
can
only
imagine
how
good
they're
gonna
be
in
a
new
robber
crown
on
some
new
ice.
All
right,
a
few
announcements
today
to
see
this
evening,
I
quit
a
couple
on
the
on
the
on
some
proclamations
that
I
made
one
was
yesterday
to
an
establishment
here
in
Evanston
that
was
founded
by
immigrants
who
came
here
from
Greece
44
Bell.
They
came
here
a
long
before
this,
but
started
their
business
45
years
ago
and
had
a
celebration
yesterday
and
that
is
DD
finer
foods
right
there
on
noise.
A
A
This
is
also
national
community
planning
month
and
in
stressing
sort
of
the
importance
of
planning
and
I
always
say
you
know,
fail
the
plan
plan
to
fail
and
and
there's
a
whole
month
surrounding
that.
Do
we
have
folks
from
meals
at
home.
Here?
Oh,
we
do.
Okay,
you
guys
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
get
you
guys
in
one
in
one.
Second,
at
the
end,
this
is
all
we
have
Fire
Prevention
Week
coming
up
and
Fire
Prevention
Week
is
October
7th
through
the
13th
and
and
it's
all
focused
around.
A
You
know
making
sure
that
we're
mitigating
any
chance
of
a
fire
in
our
homes,
we've
got
our
fire
smoke
detectors
and
they
were
changing
the
batteries
and
all
of
that
I
don't
know
chief
there's
anything
else.
You
want
to
add
on
that.
So,
okay,
so,
let's
make
sure
we
we
keep
safe.
It's
also
Domestic
Violence,
Awareness,
Month
and
I
want
to
I
want
a
spotlight,
a
young
woman
who
couldn't
be
here
this
evening
with
us
named
Rebecca,
Hartfield
and
I.
A
Don't
know
if
any
folks
here
know
Rebecca,
but
Rebecca
is
a
Miss
globe,
Illinois
and
she's
up
for
the
for
the
Nationals
to
compete.
Internationals,
her
project
is
based
on
a
life
experience
which
involves
domestic
violence
and
she's
out
there
in
the
public
and
she's
speaking
and
speaking
about
it-
and
you
know,
ended
up
here
with
her
mom.
You
know
through
the
YWCA
which
many
people
in
this
room
and
at
home,
know
of
which
does
such
good
work
in
the
area
of
domestic
violence
and
helping
people
out
of
that
situation.
A
Mwr
D
I
had
a
meeting
today
with
Eleanor
Ravel
and
she'll
talk
about
it
at
the
comments,
but
we
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
the
president
of
the
Metropolitan
Water
Reclamation
plant,
just
on
a
variety
of
issues
and
one
of
the
things
she
wanted
to.
Let
people
know
if
you
guys
drive
down
McCormick.
You
see
that
huge
facility,
that
is,
on
the
west
side,
it's
a
beautiful
facility.
If
you
can
see
this
right
here,
but
they
are
opening
that
up
to
the
public.
This
Saturday
from
9:00
to
4:00
9:00
to
5:00
p.m.
A
they're
gonna
have
tours
of
the
O'brien
water
reclamation
plan
at
3500,
Howard
Street.
A
lot
goes
into
keeping
our
water
clean
and
handling
the
the
waste
and
everything
else,
and
so
that's
a
really
cool
tour.
I
want
to
have
the
folks
from
meals
at
home.
If
you
wouldn't
mind,
come
come
up
to
to
the
podium,
so
I'm
gonna
issue
a
proclamation
today
for
meals
at
home,
that
is
celebrating
they
their
50th
anniversary
and
just
want
to
say
how
valuable
that
service
is
to
so
many
people
in
our
community.
A
A
All
right
in
the
last
in
the
last
announcement
that
I
want
to
make
is,
is
this
is
a
serious
one
and
it's
related
to
the
quality
of
life
that
we
have
here
in
Evanston
and
just
the
you
know,
conversations
that
we're
going
to
go
through
over
the
next
six
weeks
as
it
relates
to
our
budget.
While
the
budget
is
not
on
the
agenda
this
evening,
I
think
I'm,
the
October
22nd
meeting
City
Manager.
It
will
be
the
primary
point
of
discussion.
You
know,
there'll
be
some
folks
that
come
up
and
speak
today
on
on
it.
A
You
know
we
have
an
estimated
deficit
of
7.5
million
dollars
in
2019
to
close
that
gap.
The
proposed
budget
has
two
different
approaches:
one
is
an
increase
in
certain
fees,
not
property
tax,
but
other
fees
around
town
and
then
another
part
of
it
is.
You
know,
reductions
to
services
that
we
have
here
in
Evanston.
These
are
not
easy
decisions.
The
only
way
you
close
a
budget
deficit
is
really
one
of
three
ways
to
either
raise
revenue.
You
decrease
your
expenses
or
you
have
a
combination
of
the
two.
That's
and
that's
how
it
is.
A
You
know
I
know
this.
Council
really
well
and
I
know
that
they
are
going
to
think
hard
about
all
of
these
and
ask
lots
of
questions,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
some
difficult
decisions
are
going
to
have
to
be
made
to
make
sure
that
the
financial
stability
of
this
community
remains
strong.
So
anyway,
the
October
22nd
meeting
is
an
important
meeting,
we'll
really
get
into
the
budget
of
that
meeting.
So
that
concludes
my
announcements.
City
manager.
Do
you
have
anything
mr.
E
E
Here's
a
quick
look
of
the
numbers
for
some:
our
various
programs
146,000
camp
scholarships
over
42,000,
free
meals
served.
We
sold
21,000
over
21,000
beach
tokens.
This
is
a
record
number
just
so
that
everyone
knows
I
know
I've
only
been
here
three
years,
but
this
is
the
most
the
most
number
of
beach
tokens.
The
department
has
sold
5000
of
over
5,000
campers
1,800
theater
tickets
for
the
Fleetwood
Jordan,
a
theater
camp
classes,
seasonal
staff
park
permits
and
beachfront
staff,
so
we
had
93
lifeguards
and
then
we
had
some
additional
beach
room
staff.
E
E
E
You
know
make
that
point
to
you
and
you
see
the
amount
of
donations
we
received
one
hundred
and
almost
160,000
visitors
to
our
beaches,
our
lifeguards
and
rescue
staff,
several
rescues,
and
we
help
the
that
the
authorities
with
eight
missing
person,
searches,
special
the
sand
castle
contest
is
on
every
closet.
It
was
really
cool
and
unique,
and
so
there's
some
activities
that
we
do
every
day
some
of
the
stuff.
You
think
you
see
about
it
or
you
hear
about
it:
the
sand
castle.
We
had
sand
castles
ten
feet
tall.
E
It
was
one
of
the
coldest
activities
we
had
this
summer.
I
just
wanted
to
point
it
out.
Other
activities
for
the
public
stand
up:
paddleboarding,
yoga,
tubing
parties,
kayak
tours
fishing
trips
and,
more
so
very
busy
busy
some
on
the
lakefront.
Now,
farmers
market,
you
know,
draws
a
averages
about
seven
thousand
people
a
week,
we're
still
going
to
the
first
weekend
of
November
we've
generated
all
over
four
million
dollars.
Last
year
we
offer
our
spud
Club
for
children,
10
and
under
and
our
truck
the
table
event.
E
A
couple
weeks
ago
we
just
had
we
have
15
of
our
most
successful
chefs
to
cook
products
right
from
the
market
attendees.
So
some
of
the
chefs
were
walking
over
to
the
farmers,
stand
grabbing
the
produce,
bringing
it
back,
producing
these
wonderful,
wonderful
meals
that
folks
out
a
chance
to
and
grow
to
it
to
enjoy
other
data
that
you
see
we
did
27
home.
We
had
27
homegrown
artists
that
participated
at
the
market
in
our
link
card,
which
is
very
important.
E
We
were
able
to
provide
a
25
up
to
a
25
dollar
match
for
every
person
that
spent
twenty
five
dollars
there,
that
was
income
eligible
for
the
link
card,
so
that
also
was
a
great
program
and
once
again,
for
the
second
year
in
a
row,
we
were
voted.
One
of
the
best
suburban
market
farmers
market
in
the
Chicagoland
area,
gives
Morrison
Cultural
Center.
You
guys
know
we
completed
the
exterior
renovations
this
summer,
which
led
to
a
beautiful
experience
right
outside
the
facility.
The
e
th
s,
hip-hop
club
uses
it
on
a
weekly
basis.
E
We
hosted
several
ice
cream
socials
there
this
summer
and
we
partner
with
Northwestern
University
mr.
Cola
Pinkert,
dr.
Pinkert,
rather
with
our
digital
youth,
Network
coding
program
for
young.
Ladies,
it
was
hosted
at
Gibbs
Morrison,
our
special
needs
and
special
recreation
&
Inclusion
program
20.
You
guys
recognize
these
these
athletes
earlier
this
summer,
27
athletes
who
qualified
in
the
various
sports
those
are
metal
totals.
We
sent
athlete
to
the
Special
Olympics
in
u.s.
level
at
the
national
level,
where
one
athlete
joined
the
basketball
team
in
that
team
won
a
bronze
medal.
E
E
Forty
four
of
that
hundred
is
to
support
those
160
kids.
So,
just
about
a
wonderful
ratio,
the
theater,
the
performances
was
outstanding
from
the
Mississippi
Delta
top
dog
underdog
and
Crown.
They
all
sold
out
each
performance.
We
also
hosted
our
old-school
R&B
and
our
jazz
meet
start
to
Blues
there.
This
past
summer
we
had
a
black-tie
gala
in
late
August,
and
this
year
the
theatre
has
been
nominated
for
six
awards
at
the
24th
annual
black
theatre,
Alliance.
E
Our
let's
play
mobile,
probably
the
most
popular
activity
we
did
this
summer
and
for
those
who
don't
know
those
are
the
stats.
We
did
41
Park
locations,
51,
block
party,
seven
special
events.
If
I
had
more
staff,
we
could
have
done
more.
It's
you
know
we're
limited,
but
the
that
that
that
has
been
one
of
the
most
popular
activities
and
we
only
ran
it
through
Memorial
Day
to
Labor
Day,
and
we
had
block
parties
that
were
before
Memorial
Day
and
afterwards.
E
Unfortunately,
we
weren't
able
to
accommodate
the,
but
we
did
the
best
we
could
with
what
we
have.
But
you
know
the
games
and
activities
and
the
neighbors
and
the
feedback
has
been
tremendous
on
that
resource.
Cart,
whales
for
kids,
so
very
happy
to
report.
The
car
wheels
for
kids
is
a
group
of
a
young
group
of
ladies
who
went
out
and
raised
on
their
own
with
no
guidance.
They
came
ahead,
a
meeting
with
us
and
said:
hey.
We
want
to
help
raise
money
for
the
Summer
Food
Program,
we
said
sure
no
problem.
E
E
Special
events-
these
are
some
our
annual
activities,
world
arts
and
music
starlight
concert
series
our
Movies
in
the
Park
series.
We
had
a
few
rain
dates
this
year,
but
we
survived
commute
our
community
picnic
and
streets
alive,
our
youth
and
young
adult
and
outreach
team.
You
see
they
had
584
participants
at
the
job
fair.
We
partnered
with
over
45
individual
private
employers,
and
we
got
over
a
thousand
jobs
available
each
summer
and
we
were
able
to
employ
550
young
people.
E
47.6%
of
these
participants
qualify
for
free
or
reduced
lunch,
so
the
program
is
really
needed
for
that
population.
In
some,
our
outreach
efforts,
20
youth
employed
and
trained
in
the
King
in
non-violence
program.
Just
to
remind
you,
our
own
staff,
you
can
get
young
adult
staff
have
all
been
trained
as
King
in
non-violence
facilitators.
E
So
many
other
things
you've
just
met
our
national
champions
there
at
all
nice,
we
hosted
national
parks
on
recommend
July
each
year
and
our
levy
lecture
series
sponsored
by
the
levy,
Senior
Center
foundation,
we're
getting
a
new
draw
of
folks
due
to
this
program,
so
we're
starting
to
really
tap
into
that
55
and
older,
and
not
just
the
65
70
year
old
crowd.
Thanks
to
this
lecture
series
and
media
comes
alive
at
our
camp,
we've
had
a
great
time
at
that
event.
E
E
G
Good
evening,
mr.
mayor
members
of
council
city
manager,
Bob
Choate's,
deputy
clerk,
Gomez
Karen
Danzig
lines,
your
library,
director
I've
got
Renee
Neumeier
with
me
and
she's,
going
to
go
through
the
stats
and
and
put
up
some
maps,
but
I
wanted
to
mention
that
once
again
this
year,
we've
expanded
our
ABC
boosters
program.
That
is
where
we
hire
through
the
mayor's
Summer
Youth,
Employment,
14
and
15
year
olds,
teach
them
how
to
read
and
work
with
children.
G
Jeh
is
one
of
our
sites
where
district
65
identifies
some
rising
kindergartners,
who
can
benefit
from
some
extra
attention
one-on-one
and
we
were
able
to
help
a
hundred
and
ten
little
ones
this
year.
So
every
year
we've
tried
to
increase
it.
This
is
helping
our
littlest
readers
and
her
kindergarten
ready
to
learn,
and
we
know
in
terms
of
closing
achievement
gaps
and
our
children
up
for
success.
G
I
Use
just
be
used
to
just
be
for
kids
and
teens,
and
now
it's
for
patrons
of
all
ages.
It's
the
same
program
for
everyone
and
hopes
that
families
can
read
together,
but
adults
can
also
be
reading
role,
models
for
the
kids
and
teens
in
their
lives
as
well,
and
so
this
year
our
theme
was
reading,
takes
you
everywhere,
which
is
the
state
Illinois
theme,
and
so
some
changes
for
2018
every
year.
I
I'm
like
we're
not
going
to
make
anymore
changes,
but
we
make
changes
every
year,
and
this
is
a
really
awesome
change
this
year,
and
so
instead,
it
might
seem
a
simple
thing
to
you,
but
instead
of
counting
minutes
of
reading,
we
counted
days
and
that
made
it
much
more
accommodating
for
everybody.
So
there's
no
big
deal
if
you
can
only
fit
20
minutes
in
your
day.
That's
fine!
You
still
read
a
day
if
you're
reading
for
three
hours,
you're
a
power
reader,
awesome,
and
so
everyone
I
think
felt
success
for
this.
I
It
was
better
for
staff.
It
was
better
patron
interactions
and
a
little
bit
I'm
going
to
talk
about
all
of
the
different
summer
camps
and
programs
that
we
bring
summer
reading
to,
and
it
also
worked
on
this
situation.
The
other
thing
we
change
is
a
lot
of
libraries
have
been
experiencing
experimenting
with
different
ways
to
kind
of
change
up
summer
reading.
So
it's
not
all
about
reading
anymore,
you
might
do
a
stem
activity
like
science,
technology,
engineering
and
math.
You
might
redesign
a
book
cover.
I
So
a
50
percent
completion
rate
is
actually
really
awesome
and
not
very
awesome,
often
and
that's
gone
up
from
last
year,
and
so
you
can
see
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
sign
up.
There's
people
who
do
one
check
in
and
then
that
completion
number
is,
that
final
check
and
plus
the
bonus,
so
that
bonus
is
people
who
have
gone
above
and
beyond
so
they
can
read
30
days,
but
they
can
go
up
to
80
days
of
reading
as
well.
It's.
I
Know
I
know
we're
working
on
that,
but
I
think
for
it
still.
That's
like
not
all
libraries
do
all
ages
and
so
I
think
we've
gotten
that
participation
has
that
you
got
up
here
from
here
too,
so
you
can
see
from
2017
to
2018.
We
have
an
increase.
Our
overall
participation
went
down
from
2015,
but
will
we
really
care
about
once
again?
I
I
So.
The
second
piece
here
is
books.
So
because
we
know
not,
everyone
is
able
to
make
it
to
the
library
or
all
the
different
community
programs
that
are
going
on.
They
might
not
have
access
to
books,
something
we
started
a
couple
years
a
couple
years
ago,
in
partnership
with
cradle-to-career
was
that
everybody
reads
collection,
and
so
each
year
we
pick
different
sites
across
Evanston
and
curate
a
collection
of
books
for
their
program,
so
it
might
tie
in
to
the
themes
of
their
program.
I
It's
also
going
to
reflect
the
experiences
background,
races,
culture,
all
those
things
of
the
kids
in
those
programs,
so
we've
brought
books
I
think
almost
every
Community
Center
in
Evanston.
So
this
year
we
did
a
little
refreshing,
so
Fleetwood
Jourdain
got
a
collection
of
new
books,
Robert
rounded
and
then
the
y-o-u
middle
school
site,
which
is
at
Nichols
middle
school,
also
got
books
and
they
get
anywhere
from
50
to
200
books,
brand-new
books
and
also
donated
books
too,
that
are
specially
curated
for
their
sites.
I
The
last
thing
is,
we
had
the
city's
IT
department
just
run
some
stats,
so
we
don't
require
address
for
this,
because
we
overall
this
don't
want
to
collect
a
ton
of
patron
information
and
respect
patrons
privacy,
but
we
were
able
to
collect
about
50%
of
the
people's
addresses,
and
so
this
is
kind
of
like
a
heat
map
of
where
summer
readers
of
all
ages
kind
of
congregated
in
Evanston.
So
you
can
see
it's
pretty
good
spread
out
across
the
community
and
then
these
are
maps
by
schools.
I
So
this
is
the
middle
school
and
the
high
school
numbers
of
students
from
each
school
and
those
are
like
the
attendance
areas
for
the
schools,
so
that's
middle
school
in
high
school
and
then
this
is
by
elementary
school
King,
Arts
and
bassy.
Roads
aren't
down
here
because
they
pull
from
all
over
Evanston,
but
you
can
see
there's
a
pretty
great,
even
breakdown
between
all
the
different
schools
and
obviously
we're
always
working
to
figure
out
new
ways
to
bring
our
services
out
with
our
new
mobile
unit.
A
B
I
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
today
to
speak
on
the
importance
of
the
selection
and
the
importance
that
the
Latino
community
has
in
getting
out
to
vote
in
the
United
States,
currently
they're
there.
Well
in
the
United
States
a
record
20
7.3
million
Latinos
were
registered
to
vote
last
year,
which
accounted
for
12%
of
all
eligible
voters.
B
Since
2012
the
amount
of
eligible
voters
in
the
Latino
community
has
increased
by
4
million
44%
of
those
Latino.
Voters
are
Millennials,
making
young
Hispanics
a
significant
voting
bloc
in
any
election
here
in
Evanston,
one
in
10
residents
are
Latino.
I
personally
want
to
push
my
fellow
Hispanic
and
Latino
residents
to
go
out
register
and
vote
for
this
upcoming
election.
B
It's
important
to
remember
that
our
pursuit
of
the
American
dream
is
built
on
a
foundation
of
hard
work
that
our
families
laid
for
us.
If
you
don't
plan
on
voting
this
election
for
yourself,
I,
ask
that
you
at
least
do
it
for
your
parents
and
the
people
that
sacrifice
so
much
to
bring
you
here
in
this
current
political
climate
that
is
being
felt
across
the
country.
B
J
Very
quick
other
announcements
to
followup
with
that
and
to
take
two
seconds:
Thank
You,
Eduardo
I,
just
want
to
quickly
announce
a
few
other
key
dates
for
wider
Evanston
early
voting
begins
October
22nd
and
goes
until
November
5th.
You
can
early
vote
here
at
the
Civic
Center
down
in
room
G,
300
I'm,
a
big
proponent
of
early
voting,
there's
some
concerns,
but
trust
in
early
voting
here
in
Cook
County.
Also,
if
you'd
like
a
mail-in
ballot
application,
you
can
get
this
from
the
clerk's
office
or
you
can
go
online.
J
J
The
clerk's
office
is
organizing
a
few
efforts
to
increase
voter
participation
in
our
lowest
voter
participation
Ward's.
So
we
have
the
5th
Ward,
the
eighth
ward
and
the
second
ward
that
we
are
targeting.
We
were
looking
to
ensure
that
every
ward
in
the
city
reaches
at
least
60%
turnout
in
this
election,
and
so
we
are
targeting
those
wards.
Specifically,
you
can
register
to
vote
if
I
didn't
mention
that
should
have
been
a
first
up
and
through
the
election
you
can
come
to
the
clerk's
office
and
register
to
vote.
J
If
you
vote
during
early
voting
and
you're
still
not
registered,
we
have
same-day
voter
registration,
so
you
can
register
to
vote
and
vote
all
on
the
same
day
at
your
local
polling
location
or
here
at
the
Civic
Center.
During
early
voting,
there
are
there's
one
form
that
I
would
like
to
announce,
and
that
is
the
League
of
Women.
Voters
is
hosting
informational
forum
on
the
two
referendums
that
are
appearing
on
the
ballot
here
in
Evanston
that
will
be
Sunday
October
14th
at
Evanston,
Township,
High
School
at
2
p.m.
J
A
Something
terrific
thank
you.
Clerk
read
and
thank
you
everyone.
Oh
it's
a
pleasure
to
have
you
up
here
with
us
all
today,
all
right
we're
going
to
move
to
the
next
part
of
the
agenda,
which
is
public
comment.
As
everybody
knows,
we
set
aside
allocate
45
minutes
for
public
comment.
We
take
the
number
of
people
that
signed
up,
we
divided
by
45
and
that's
what
we've
got
today.
We've
got
26
people
that
have
signed
up
we're
using
our
new
system,
so
thank
you.
A
Clerk
read
and
I
have
no
no
excuse
now,
for
you
know,
mispronouncing
your
name
because
it's
all
then
typed
in
but
I
apologize
in
advance
if
I
mispronounce,
your
name,
which
is
absolutely
possible.
So
we've
got
a
minute
45
for
each
person.
Again,
we've
got
24
people
that'll,
give
us
the
45
minutes,
I
ask
as
always
that
you'd
be
respectful
of
one
another's
time
of
the
folks
up
here.
A
So
we
can
get
to
the
other
parts
of
the
agenda
and
and
we'll
get
going
so
I'll
rattle
off
the
first
three
and
then
keep
it
up
and
if
we
can
have
people
line
up,
we
can
get
through
this
quickly.
I
will
give
you
a
little
nudge
if
you're
getting
close
to
that
minute
45.
So
you
wrap
it
up
in
ten
seconds
all
right,
Christina
Ernst,
then
Jan,
Bergson
and
then
Leah
Penske.
K
Good
evening
mr.
mayor
City,
Council
members
and
fellow
Evans
stone
Ian's,
my
name
is
Christina
Ernst
I,
recite
on
18:01
Lee
Street
in
Evanston.
We
all
have
different
passions,
and
that
is
what
makes
a
community
vibrant
I
have
been
a
professional
dance
artist.
All
of
my
life
and
currently
the
artistic
director
of
the
Evanston
dance,
ensemble
I
also
grew
up
in
an
artistic
family.
K
I
have
been
working
in
Evanston
for
the
past
thirty
years
as
a
director
educator
mentor
and
have
seen
so
many
young
people
blossom
and
grow
through
having
encounters
with
the
arts
in
various
ways.
Many
have
been
going
on
to
become
professionals
I'm,
a
huge
believer
that,
through
the
Arts
we
discover,
learn
and
mature
to
become
creative
beings
in
all
aspects
of
life.
K
Arts
reflects
and
celebrates
life
and
beauty
and
be
sure
I'll
need
some
of
that
in
my
neighborhood,
a
brand-new
Robert,
Crown
Center
is
being
built,
and
the
cost
at
this
point
is
about
53
million
I.
Think
it's
an
important
thing
to
happen,
but
also
I
would
like
to
say.
A
healthy
community
is
about
balance.
Having
all
the
arts.
Funding
cut
in
Evanston
is
not
acceptable.
K
L
Evening
everybody,
mr.
mayor
good
evening,
city
manager
and
City
Council
members
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
speak
for
a
minute
or
two
I've
been
involved
in
the
evident
arts
community
and
in
the
arts
and
Evanston
for
more
than
the
35
years.
I
have
lived
here.
I
am
deeply
involved
at
the
Mitchell
Museum
of
the
American
Indian.
L
Now
in
its
41st
year
here
in
Evanston,
and
today
is
indigenous
peoples
day.
Thank
you
for
the
Proclamation
and
I've
been
involved
there
for
about
20
years
now.
I'm
currently
served
there
as
the
board
president,
so
many
organizations,
schools
and
artists
depend
on
Evanston,
Arts
and
Culture
funding
as
part
of
their
public
programming,
their
education
and
for
bringing
together
all
the
various
communities
that
we
have
here
in
Evanston
and
the
Arts
is
a
wonderful,
wonderful
way
to
celebrate
all
of
these
various
communities
I'm
a
firm
believer
that
the
arts
are
vital
to
our
whole
community.
L
M
Evening,
thank
you
for
giving
us
all
the
opportunity
to
speak.
I
was
born
in
Evans
in
1973
and
I'm
so
proud
to
make
Evanston
my
home
as
an
adult
with
my
husband,
who
also
grew
up
in
Evanston
and
I,
live
in
the
4th,
Ward
and
I
am
just
so
proud
to
give
back
to
Evanston
through
the
work
I
do
in
public
art
and
am
very
concerned
about
the
city's
plan
to
cut
the
arts
funding,
specifically
the
public
arts,
but
all
areas.
M
Everyone
knows
arts
is
always
the
first
to
go
in
schools,
classrooms,
municipalities.
Here
again,
it
seems
like
that's
going
to
be
the
case
and
I
think
that
Evanston
can
be
better
than
that.
I
think
that
we
are
talking
about
a
very
small
amount
of
money,
considering
the
size
of
the
budget
and
to
get
rid
of
it
just
makes
a
much
larger
statement
of
impact
than
the
money
itself
in
the
budget.
M
Now
this
mural
program
has
partial
support
from
the
public
art
fund
and
they
have
brought
an
enormous
amount
of
positive
attention
and
respect
for
Evanston
as
a
cultural
destination
and
I'm
sure
that
you
agree
with
that.
Residents
and
businesses
have
developed
renewed
energy
and
connection
to
their
communities.
They're,
seeing
this
public
art
come
to
life
and
revitalized,
these
old
and
dingy
walls
with
color
and
energy
and
outside
of
that
it's
put
Evanston
on
this
cultural
map,
where
people
are
paying
attention
and
really
see
that
we
are
joining
this
cultural
phenomenon,
this
movement
of
public
art.
N
Evening
mr.
mayor
council,
city
manager
just
wanted
to
say
when
she
said
she
was
born
in
Everson
in
1973,
I
had
to
smile
after
almost
eight
decades
in
Evanston,
not
having
been
born
here.
N
O
Mr.
mayor
City,
Council
I'm
here
with
Dan
Stein
who's,
the
president
of
the
Friends
of
the
Robert
Crown
Center,
and
just
wanted
to
briefly
bring
the
City
Council
a
few
people
up
to
speed
on
the
finances
around
the
Robert
crown
project.
As
you
know,
friends
Robert
crown
was
tasked
by
City
Council
to
raise
ten
million
dollars
to
make
this
in
private
donations
to
get
the
project
moving.
We
hit
that
number
back
in
October
and
said
we
would
continue
to
raise
up
to
fifteen
million.
O
We've
made
progress
to
eleven
point,
seven
of
the
fifteen
million,
and
we've
got
about
a
donors
who
from
Evanston's
mean
this
happened.
The
reason
why
we're
speaking
today
is,
if
you
read
the
budget
summary
that
the
city
manager's
office
put
out
the
first
line
you
would
have
seen
under
the
7
million
dollar
deficit
was
a
million
dollars.
In
crown
debt
service.
The
good
news
is
we
are
supposed
to
based
on
the
February
finance
agreement.
O
If
the
city
manager's
office
can
figure
out
a
way
to
use
our
money
on
the
bond
service,
so
the
city
had
a
debt
before
Robert
crown
was
passed,
the
city
would
still
have
a
huge
debt
if
robert
crown
had
been
defeated
so
at
least
for
one
year,
and
we
realized
that
the
pensions
and
the
other
costs
that
the
city
has
is
a
multi-year
problem.
At
least
for
one
year.
We
can
take
that
debt
service
out,
for
we
can
figure
out
a
way
to
use
this
money,
so
just
want
to
let
everybody
know
where
we
stood.
P
I'm
Joanna
Penske,
I'm
artistic
director
of
and
co-founder
of
art
encounter
and
I'm
here
to
urge
you
to
not
cut
funding
for
the
Arts,
which
is
a
very
small
part
of
the
budget,
I
co-founded
art
encounter
40
years
ago.
We've
celebrated
this
milestone
and
we're
very
grateful
to
the
Arts
Council
for
helping
us
over
the
years.
We
I
don't
think
we
would
have
reached
this
milestone
without
support.
We've
had
from
the
arts
from
the
Arts
Fund.
P
Funding
from
the
Arts
has
enabled
us
to
reach
children
and
schools
by
introducing
them
to
new
ways
of
understanding
the
world
around
us
understanding
themselves.
Creative
and
learning
about
each
other.
Funding
from
the
Arts
has
also
helped
us
bring
programs
to
the
elderly
that
promote
mental
stimulation
and
social
interaction
and
seeing
a
residences
where
people
sometimes
suffer
from
social
isolation.
In
spite
of
group,
living
and
funding
from
the
Arts
is
now
helping
us
bring
the
beautiful
murals
that
my
daughter
Leah
talked
about
to
Evanston
and
bringing
our
enrichment
to
everybody.
P
Q
I'll
talk
about
the
budget
and
next
meeting
hum
recent
events
in
Washington
in
regards
to
a
selection
of
a
Supreme
Court
justice
have
made
me
think
of
an
anonymous
letter.
I
received
a
few
months
ago
in
the
mail.
The
letter
alleges
sexual
harassment
is
sexual
bullying,
complaints
by
three
female
employees
against
an
employee
here,
I'm
going
to
read
the
letter,
excluding
names
so
to
not
to
identify
anyone
at
this
time.
Q
The
letter,
basically
I,
have
blocked
out
the
names
basically
says:
a
city,
employee,
sexually
harassed
and
another
city
employee.
This
actually
bullied
another
city,
employee,
the
the
individual
that
wrote
this
letter
filed
a
hostile
environment
complaint
along
with
them.
It
claims
the
council
did
nothing
and
this
employee
felt.
You
know
she
was
harassed,
but
the
media
is
supposedly
pursuing
this
story,
but
I
suspect
what's
written
here.
You
know
it
is
anonymous,
but
it
probably
has
a
basis
and
truth
is
I've
sort
of
put
some
feelers
out.
It's
clear
to
me.
Q
There
are
many
things
wrong
here
with
this
budget,
and
you
know
there
things
were
covered
up
for
quite
a
while.
So
I
there's
a
lot
of
credibility.
Questions
here
and
the
person
who
sent
this
to
me
obviously
was
violated
and
feels
powerless,
so
our
question
I
have
for
this
council
tonight.
What
might
you
deal
with
this
I
will
give
you
the
in
the
letter
with
the
names
at
some
point,
if
you
want
it.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
R
Good
evening
my
name
is
Jim
young
and
I
served
on
mayor
Morton's,
Police
and
Fire
pension
committee
in
2008.
Ten
years
have
passed
since
our
report
was
published
on
October
24
2008
and
there's
some
copies
outside
they're
going
quickly.
So
pick
them
up.
I
appreciate
in
value
the
work
of
our
policemen
and
firemen
that
they
do
in
our
community.
I've
also
been
committed
to
the
defined
benefit
pension
plans,
as
long
as
they
are
come
for
and
funded
properly
and
taxpayers
should
also
feel
that
we're
being
treated
fairly.
R
Everyone
benefits
when
there's
a
solid,
stable
financial
situation
with
disclosure
and
transparency
pensions
continue
to
post
Evanson
and
they
need
to
be
in
the
need
to
be
funded
today,
so
that
all
policemen,
firemen
and
families
feel
secure
with
the
financial
future.
I
strongly
recommend
that
city
council
file,
the
actuaries
recommendation
and
fun
at
the
6.25%
level.
I
won't
even
comment
on
the
suggestion
by
the
state
of
Illinois,
since
they
are
so
out
of
touch
with
reality
and,
frankly,
it's
an
embarrassment
to
our
state
government.
The
current
stated
unfunded
liability
for
Police
and
Fire
pension
fund.
R
It's
just
over
two
hundred
and
seventeen
million
ten
years
ago.
It
was
almost
one
hundred
and
forty
six
million,
so
the
pension
debt
has
increased
by
about
fifty
percent
to
prevent
perspective.
Each
Evanston
household
now
owes
about
sixty
five
hundred
dollars
and
this
number
will
likely
grow.
You
know
when
you
get
a
parking
ticket
on
your
car
and
you
have
to
pay
else.
R
You
get
the
boot
similar
issue,
a
more
expensive
Evanston's
pension
situation
would
likely
get
worse
in
the
near
future
why
demographics
are
working
as
the
funds
more
and
more
policemen
environment
are
going
to
retire
next
five
to
ten
years.
The
actuarial
reports
show
that
over
the
next
ten
years,
pension
payments
for
police
and
fire
pensions
will
increase
from
twenty
point.
Eight
million
dollars
this
year
to
twenty
nine
point,
four
million
dollars
in
2028
and
then
payments
are
forecasted
to
grow
over
the
next
two
decades.
People
are
living
longer.
R
R
R
In
the
last
ten
years,
the
stock
mark
is
more
than
tripled.
We
had
the
biggest
bond
market
ball
mark
in
our
history,
yet
our
unfunded
liability
contains
to
grow
city
council
has
a
responsibility
to
properly
fund
the
Police
and
Fire
pension
funds.
Pension
bills
don't
go
away.
The
pension
deck
arose
because
of
compounding
never
sleeps
compounding
works,
24/7
and
guests
who
ultimately
pay
the
bill
for
our
pension,
promiscuity,
our
children
and
grandchildren.
R
Thank
you
thank
you,
so,
instead
of
leaving
them
with
some
nickels
and
dimes
in
their
piggy
banks,
we're
with
a
big
IOU
and
when
our
kids
find
out
they're
gonna
be
pissed
off
and
rightfully
so.
In
summary,
the
evidence,
police
and
Fire
pension
funds
are
poorly
funded.
Today,
less
than
50%
very
precarious
demographics
are
heading
and
future
returns
and
assets
will
likely
be
lower
than
projected.
This
problem
is
not
going
away,
but
will
likely
worsen.
R
Please
find
both
pensions
at
the
rate
recommended
by
the
actuary
to
help
provide
a
more
secure
outlook
for
our
police
environment,
those
who
are
retired
and
currently
working
and
for
our
children.
Today's
decisions
are
difficult,
but
if
you
decide
to
find
out
the
lower
levels,
the
future
decisions
will
become
much
more
challenging.
Thank.
A
S
Good
evening,
I'm
here
tonight,
representing
Landmarks
Illinois
on
behalf
of
Landmarks
Illinois
I
call
on
the
City
Council
to
grant
our
request
dated
September
28
2018
for
access
to
hire
Carly
Clark
by
a
select
group
of
consultants.
We
have
retained
to
address
the
city's
application
for
a
certificate
of
appropriateness
for
demolition
in
the
application.
The
city
asserts
that
the
building
buildings
in
their
current
state
present
a
danger
to
persons
inhabiting
or
visiting
the
property,
and
that
remediating
or
repairing
these
requires
great
difficulty
or
expense.
S
No
evidence
has
been
included
with
the
application
to
support
these
conclusions.
More
confusing
is
the
fact
that
the
report
provided
by
the
city
with
the
certificate
of
appropriateness
application,
describes
the
building
as
being
in
good
working
order,
and
the
electrical
inspection
shows
minor
repairs
to
comply
with
the
code
that
are
not
difficult
or
expensive.
These
incongruities
and
reporting
on
the
condition
of
Harley
Clark
necessitated
and
updated
examination
and
report
by
appropriate
experts.
S
We
believe
the
inspection
by
our
experts
is
essential
to
the
review
process,
as
the
Preservation
Commission
is
required
to
make
a
decision
based
on
evidence.
The
more
complete
the
evidence
can
be
the
better.
It
is
also
essential
to
ensure
the
process
is
fair
and
meets
the
standards
of
due
process
without
an
opportunity
to
have
access
to
the
property.
The
consultants
retained
by
landmarks
Illinois
will
not
be
able
to
assess
the
assertions
made
in
the
certificate
of
appropriateness
application.
S
In
addition,
we
believe
the
City
Commission
and
the
public
will
benefit
from
the
services
of
our
experts,
who
have
many
years
of
experience
dealing
with
historic
buildings
in
considering
the
outcome
for
Harley
Clarke.
In
summary,
landmarks
Illinois
recognizes
that
the
issue
of
how
to
proceed
with
Harley
Clark
is
very
important
issue
in
Evanston.
We
believe
it
is
critical
that
the
decision-making
process
proceed
with
sufficient
information
about
how
Harley
Clark's
current
condition.
Thank
you,
Thank.
T
Mike
Visoko
2728
Reese,
chronic
over-promising
overspending,
over-borrowing
and
overtaxing
Illinois
citizens,
their
children
and
grandchildren,
face
vast
public
debts.
They
may
be
unable
to
repay
that
editorial
comment
was
from
the
Chicago
Tribune
and
it
appropriately
describes
the
city
of
Evanston.
There
are
three
items
on
the
agenda
for
tonight:
a
7
s
for
$75,000
for
landscape
design.
We
do
not
need
a
9;
it
has
86
thousand
dollars
for
trees
and
services.
We
do
not
need
one
$10,000
for
Christmas
lights.
We
do
not
need
these
are
not
necessities.
These
are.
T
This
is
money
that
could
be
saved,
don't
approve
seven
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
for
non-essential
costs.
Over
the
last
year,
staff
has
put
forth,
and
the
council
approved
millions
of
dollars
of
change,
orders
and
approved
millions
of
dollars
of
excessive
fees
for
architects,
engineers
and
contractors
who
are
not
the
low
qualified
bid.
T
These
items
combined
show
the
city
wasted
over
seven
million
dollars
that
could
have
been
preserved
and
could
have
prevented
the
staff
and
service
cuts
now
being
planned
for
2019.
This
amount
does
not
include
the
waste
built
into
the
Crown
Center
project
or
the
two
million
dollars
of
bonds.
For
the
Howard
Street
Theatre,
that
was
supposed
to
be
TIF
funds,
one
of
many,
let's
call
it
well,
my
name
I
know
many
lives
related
to
Howard
Street,
like.
U
My
name
is
Doug
sharp
and
I
live
in
the
Ninth
Ward
I
and
several
other
members
of
reclaim
Evanston
are
here
tonight
to
address
the
proposed
revisions
to
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance.
Let
me
first
say:
I'm
personally
invested
in
the
issue
of
affordable
housing.
I
have
personally
seen
affordable
housing
disappear
in
my
own
neighborhood
we're
a
modest
one-story
house
next
to
mine
that
was
bought
for
less
than
$200,000
was
demolished
and
then
replaced
with
a
much
larger
home.
U
That's
sold
for
more
than
$700,000
an
event
that
seems
small,
but
has
been
occurring
all
over
Evanston
reclaim
Evanston
came
into
existence
in
2016
as
a
grassroots
organization.
Through
canvases,
we
ran
to
see
what
was
on
the
minds
of
Evanston
neighbors.
From
those
conversations
we
declared
our
priorities
with
publication
of
a
platform
that
addressed
six
distinct
policy
areas.
Affordable
housing
was
one
of
the
six
since
October
2017,
the
members
of
reclaim
Evanston,
have
watched
and
engaged
with
the
iho
subcommittee
as
it
put
forth
a
series
of
modifications
to
the
iho.
U
We
are
now
close
to
a
final
vote
on
those
revisions,
but
we
feel
there
are
improvements
that
still
need
to
be
made.
My
colleagues
from
reclaim
Evanston
will
now
share
the
additional
improvements
that
we
feel
are
essential
and
that
are
supported
by
300
residents
of
Evanston,
who
signed
our
petition
in
support
of
those
improvements.
Thank.
A
V
My
name
is
Dave
winter
I'm
live
in
the
Ninth
Ward
for
about
20
years
now,
and
I
want
to
share
that.
My
personal
experience
with
affordable
housing
is
just
from
my
workplace.
I
teach
preschool
here
in
Evanston
and
I've,
been
here
a
long
time
and
I've
been
seeing.
Families
leave
ever
since
because
they
couldn't
afford
to
to
live
here.
I
see
not
only
families,
but
my
my
colleagues
and
coworkers
preschool
teachers
that
would
love
to
live
in
Evanston.
They
serve
the
community
as
teachers,
and
yet
they
can't
afford
to
live
here.
V
That's
what
I've
been
seeing
over
the
years
is
watching
people
leave
and
not
be
able
to
and
not
be
able
to
stay.
The
petition
that
we
took
door-to-door
this
past
year
seeks
five
improvements
to
the
iho.
Three
of
them
have
been
incorporated
into
the
current
proposal
made
by
subcommittees.
That
would
be
the
removal
of
the
financial
in
feasibility
cause,
the
lowering
of
the
caps
of
the
area
and
medium
income
for
qualifying
households
and
then
extension
of
the
affordable
affordability
period.
V
W
W
It's
been
vanished
good
evening,
council
members
I
live
in
the
eighth
Ward
and
I'm
a
member
of
reclaim
Evanston.
My
personal
experience
is
not
one
of
not
being
able
to
afford
housing,
but
I
do
want
to
point
out
to
the
council
and
other
folks
that
there's
another
potential
aggravation
to
the
availability
of
affordable
housing
in
Evanston
commercial,
real
estate
firms
are
coming
now
to
Evanston,
including
to
the
community,
where
I
live
and
seeking
to
acquire
whole
large
condo
units
and
convert
them
from
condo
buildings
to
rental
units,
and
they
are
offering
very
attractive
four
terms.
W
This
is
happening.
This
is
rampant
in
Chicago,
it's
occurring
in
Evanston
and
northwest
suburbs,
and
they
convert
these
condo
buildings
into
rental
units
and
then
progressively
jack
up
the
rental
prices
so
that
what
was
once
middle
income
sort
of
affordable
housing,
either
condo
or
rental,
becomes
out
of
reach
for
lots
of
Evanston
residents.
So
that's
something
on
the
horizon
that
I'm
personally
acquainted
with
Mike.
W
The
current
version
of
the
ordinance
states
that
10%
of
the
units
in
a
development
must
be
priced
to
be
affordable,
but
then
allows
lots
of
developers
to
opt
out
of
all
of
the
required
units
by
paying
a
fee.
We
believe
that
all
developers
should
be
required
to
build
at
least
half
of
the
required
units
affordable
units,
regardless
of
where
the
development
is
or
the
type
of
development.
W
We
have
seen
in
Evanston
a
significant
erosion
of
affordable
housing
over
the
past
ten
years
since
the
housing
crisis
of
2008,
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
cannot
reverse
all
of
the
damage
done
by
that
crisis,
but
our
proposal
will
ensure
that
every
new
development
in
Evanston
will
generate
some
affordable
units.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
X
Good
evening
my
name
is
sandy:
Wilson
I
live
in
the
first
Ward
and
I
am
a
member
of
reclaim
Evanston
I'm
interested
in
the
issue
of
affordable
housing,
because
I
know
a
need
that
was
available
for
me
has
disappeared
in
May
of
2011.
After
my
divorce,
I
began
looking
for
a
place
to
live
in
Evanston.
My
father
was
born
and
raised
here
in
Evanston
I
had
two
college-age
children
and
I
had
a
particular
price
range.
X
Around
$240,000
I
ended
up
in
a
two-bedroom
two-bath
condo,
and
my
concern
is
that
if
I
was
in
the
same
position
today,
I
know
that
the
number
of
options
at
that
price
range
would
be
far
smaller.
The
current
version
of
the
ordinance
specifies
a
range
of
opt-out
fees
from
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
to
two
hundred
sixty
two
hundred
thousand
per
unit.
We
feel
these
amounts
are
too
low.
They
should
be
set
at
a
standard
amount
of
300
thousand
per
unit,
regardless
of
where
the
development
is
located.
X
As
was
pointed
out
in
an
article
recently
published
by
joining
forces
for
affordable
housing,
the
cost
of
the
development
is
at
least
three
hundred
thousand
per
unit.
The
affordable
housing
fund
is
one
of
the
few
financial
resources
the
city
of
Evanston
has
to
directly
impact
affordable
housing
in
Evanston,
and
the
opt-out
fee
is
one
of
the
few
non
tax
methods
we
have
to
add
monies
to
the
affordable
housing
fund.
X
A
Z
Z
They
are
now
enlarging
the
homes
that
are
there
and,
in
some
cases,
tearing
them
down
and
building
homes
that
are
no
longer
really
affordable
for
many
in
the
community
and
the
second
personal
note
I
live
on
a
block
of
ten
homes
over
the
last
decade.
Four
of
my
families
within
that
area
all
left
because
they
could
no
longer
afford
to
live
there.
They
all
happen
to
be
african-american
families
on
a
citywide
basis.
Z
I
am
the
official
scorekeeper
for
the
Evanston
Township
men's
and
women's
basketball
program,
and
when
I
see
the
Niles
High
School's
come
into
town
and
pointed
out
how
many
of
our
former
residents
are
now
living
in
Skokie.
So
we
are
improving
their
diversity
and
losing
hours
as
a
resident
of
the
second
Ward
in
Evanston
I,
totally
support.
Z
A
AA
I
have
the
good
fortune
of
a
partner
who
joined
me.
Okay,
thank
you.
Everybody
I'm,
Joan,
Gunzburg
I
live
in
the
4th
Ward
in
Evanston
and
have
for
a
long
time
and
my
partner
Judy
Kemp.
We
were
both
former
co-chairs
of
the
Evanston
Community
Foundation,
as
well
as
a
part
of
the
evidence.
The
evidence
starts
initiative
that
the
city
adopted
and
with
a
lot
of
exciting
recommendations
for
the
future
of
the
Arts
and
in
our
city.
AA
We
I
am
certainly
dismayed
to
see
the
very
thought
of
cutting
the
funding
for
the
Arts,
in
addition
to
the
tiny
little
piece
of
the
budget
that
it
represents.
It
has
a
very
large
impact
on
so
many
people,
not
only
the
large
number
of
nonprofit
organizations
that
depend
on
it,
but
the
work
that
the
city
was
beginning
to
do
to
coordinate
these
groups
so
that
they
could
be
collectively
more
impactful
and
things
could
go
farther
for
a
couple
decades.
AA
I
was
a
head
of
the
arts
and
Business
Council
in
Chicago
and
I
got
to
see
nationwide
how
the
arts
impact
communities.
We
have
so
many,
so
many
more
housing
opportunities
going
up
everywhere.
Why
do
you
think
these
people
are
coming
to
Evanston?
A
lot
of
that
has
to
do
with
the
excitement
in
this
city
and
its
reputation
as
an
arts,
home
I
think
the
the
dollars
alone.
Would
it
would
be
penny
penny?
What
Pennywise
and
pound-foolish
to
take
that
such
a
step,
so
I
hope
you
will
reconsider
that
recommendation.
Great.
AB
Amend
what
Joan
said
in
that
I
think
it
would
be
terrible.
I
can't
even
think
of
a
better
word,
unacceptable
to
completely
eliminate
funding
for
the
Arts
in
the
city
like
Evanston,
and
also
the
ability,
if
that's
all,
eliminated,
to
then
advocate
in
the
future
for
any
kind
of
Arts
from
within
the
city,
and
that
needs
to
be
retained
in
some
way
or
another.
Thank
you
all
right.
A
AC
We
also
would
like
to
see
fees
in
lieu
be
higher,
as
we
claim
Evanston
suggested,
we'd
like
to
see
some
staggered
periods
of
affordability
and
we'd
like
to
see
the
units
be
identical
to
the
market
rate
units
as
well,
so
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
more
detail.
I
sent
a
letter
to
all
of
you
and
I
know,
there's
going
to
be
some
time
to
consider
it,
and
we
hope
that
you
will.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
AD
And
City
Council
members
in
the
clerk's
office
I'm
a
Ninth
Ward
resident
just
real
quick
on
the
inclusionary
housing
this
last
week,
a
number
of
Treasure
Island
employees
lost
their
jobs
without
paychecks,
without
health
insurance
and
without
take
care
for
their
children.
About
a
dozen
of
those
employees
live
in
the
city
of
Evanston.
They
are
all
Latino
and
african-american
without
finding
work
soon,
they'll
be
gone
because
they
can't
afford
the
rents
that
they're
currently
paying
without
a
good
job.
AD
Think
about
that
when
you're
thinking
about
affordable
housing,
there
are
lots
and
lots
of
Evanston
residents
who
have
lost
their
job
or
are
losing
their
jobs.
On
the
other
issue
that
I
said,
I
wanted
to
speak
about
was
foster
school.
You
have
an
attempt
to
save
this
historic
building.
Don't
let
that
attempt
film
I!
Think
about
that
and
I
say
why
can't
it
be,
and
I
have
no
clue
what's
in
the
short
plan,
but
why
can't
that
be?
Can
we
focus?
Why
can't
it
be
K
through
3
district
65?
AD
Why
can't
it
be
what
the
consultant
for
the
library
suggested?
Putting
the
library
in
the
fifth
Ward
put
the
three
together
and
you
have
a
program
that
saves
foster
school,
provides
necessary
services
to
the
fifth
Lord,
brings
back
an
elementary
school
to
the
fifth
Ward
and
puts
a
library
in
the
fifth
Ward,
the
most
underserved
Ward
in
the
city
and
I.
Don't
live
in
the
fifth
I
live
in
the
ninth,
it's
an
important
for
the
entire
city.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
AE
I'm
I'm
Jeremy,
Potter
and
I'm,
a
resident
of
the
seventh
Ward
I,
want
to
address
some
common
misconceptions
around
the
Holly
Clark
mansion.
The
first
is
that
Holly
Clark
is
just
a
liability
for
the
city.
If
you're
taking
finance
101,
you
know,
that's
not
the
case.
The
value
of
any
asset
reflects
its
returns
under
all
possible
future
outcomes,
so
the
cost
of
demolishing
Holly
Clark
includes
the
loss
of
any
possible
future
returns
in
exchange.
All
the
city
gets
his
unlimited
liabilities
for
environmental
damage
and
repair.
AE
AE
Let's
be
clear:
they're
offering
the
money
on
condition
that
the
city
takes
an
unpopular
and
counterintuitive
step
and
demolishes
a
public
asset,
there's
no
shortage
of
cash-strapped
programs
to
which
the
group
could
donate
and
if
the
money
is
to
be
earmarked
for
Harley
Clark's,
specifically
consider
that
it
could
cover
the
cost
of
mothballing
the
property.
For
many
years.
AE
Alternatively,
combined
with
the
250,000
promise
of
the
city,
he
could
pay
for
bringing
the
property
up
to
code,
but
the
doones
group
is
only
prepared
to
pay
for
the
specific
purpose
of
demolishing
this
public
asset
in
the
democracy.
You
can't
pay
the
government
to
adopt
your
favorite
policy
least
of
all,
to
degrade
public
resources
against
the
will
of
your
voters.
AE
It's
completely
inappropriate
for
the
city
to
commit
to
a
course
of
action,
that's
a
subject
of
an
upcoming
referendum,
and
it
sets
a
horrible
precedent
for
future
decision
making,
suggesting
that
whenever
the
city
needs
funds,
its
decisions
can
be
brought
by
ready
cash.
This
erosion
of
democracy
is
all
too
common.
These
days,
Evanson
needs
to
set
higher
standards.
I
acknowledge
that
this
is
a
long
debate
and
I
appreciate
the
council's
hard
work
on
this,
but
forcing
through
the
destruction
will
do
lasting
damage
to
the
credibility
of
the
council
and
undermine
the
trust
of
its
citizens.
AE
AF
Good
evening,
mr.
mayor
and
city
manager,
members
of
the
City
Council,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
this
evening.
The
topic
that
that's
on
my
mind
tonight
is
the
the
habitat
and
the
landscape
at
Harley
Clarke
site
there's
been
some
evidence,
but
for
that
the
goal
one
of
the
goals
of
tearing
down
the
building
is
to
create
habitat,
open
space,
landscape
and
so
forth.
AF
But
as
we
enter
this
time
of
the
fall
migration
of
birds,
we
have
to
recognize
that
two
of
the
most
important
things
to
their
successful
migration
is
cover
protection
from
the
elements
and
in
food.
Those
are
two
things
that
are
abundant
in
harley
clark
in
the
president's
present
condition
in
for
those
birds
that
don't
migrate,
nesting
sites
protection
food
are
in
abundance
with
the
existing
landscape.
There's
a
landscape.
There
that's
been
in
place
for
that
long
enough
to
have
very
successful,
mature
trees.
AF
The
trees
that
are
specific
that
should
be
noted,
are
a
very
large
copper
beech,
which
is
I,
believe
the
largest
beach
in
the
city
of
Evanston.
A
remaining
hemlock
stand,
which
is
in
the
grotto
area
that
is
perfect
for
bird
habitat.
Then,
of
course
there
are
those
beautiful
maples
along
the
Sheridan
Road
and
many
mature
red
oaks
between
the
building
between
the
house
and
the
lake.
These
all
provide
exceptional
cover
and
what
I'd
like
to
know
is:
if
there
is
a
plan
to
demolish
the
building,
what
the
site
would
look
like
after
that
takes
place.
A
AG
Evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
my
name
is
Christian
Sorenson
I'm
here
tonight
as
the
legislative
aide
district
office
staff.
First,
a
representative
gable
I
apologize
for
my
state
of
dress,
but,
as
you
guys
know,
local
government
moves
even
on
state
holidays.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
hearing
everything
you
have
tonight
coming
on
budget
night.
I
know
you
guys
have
a
lot
on
your
plates
and
being
a
state
employee.
AG
I
know
these
choices
are
not
easy,
so
I
empathize,
with
all
of
you,
I,
wanted
to
clear
up
as
I
was
quoted
in
in
a
couple
of
the
recent
articles
about
Harley
Clark.
Just
a
couple
points
on
the
constituent
driven
process.
These
talks
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
2014-2015
IDNR
proposals.
This
would
be.
This
is
an
entirely
new
constituent,
driven
request
to
examine
the
possibilities
to
take
the
financial
responsibility
off
of
the
hands
of
the
city.
Knowing
knowing
that
we're
in
the
situation,
we're
in
this
would
be
an
opportunity
that
could
be
funded
again.
AG
AG
The
use
plan
again
would
be
subject
to
public
discussion
through
the
state
representatives
office.
This
is
not
meant
to
be
behind
closed
doors,
but
rather
an
inclusive
situation
and
the
friends
you
know
the
standard
for
this
type
of
park
may
be
below
a
hundred
percent
of
funding
to
bring
the
building
up
to
code
for
the
specified
uses,
but
the
Friends
of
Harley
clerk
group-
that's
coalescing
around
this
cause,
is
willing
to
investigate
providing
close
to
100
percent,
if
not
over
100
percent
of
the
funding
to
put
up
the
building.
AG
So
if
there
are
any
other
further
questions,
when
we
have
further
along
in
the
process,
I
should
be
back
with
with
more
specific
updates,
but
as
of
right
now,
that's
we
go.
That's
where
we
are
in
the
conversations
with
the
state,
IDNR
and
the
historic
preservation
agency.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
A
AH
Jennifer
shader
47
year
resident
of
the
seventh
Ward
I'm
here
tonight
to
speak
actually
about
indigenous
peoples
day
and
its
relationship
actually
to
Grosse
Pointe
and
where
Harley
Clarke
and
our
fabulous
lighthouse
set
I
think
we
have
kind
of
glossed
over
it
today,
but
I
hope
that
all
of
a
sudden
stone
Ian's
know
that
originally
there
was
likely
a
settlement
on
Grosse
Pointe,
where
the
lighthouse
now
is
and
where
the
Hartley
Clark
mansion
sets.
As
early
as
the
1600s
later,
the
land
was
gifted
to
our
College.
AH
AH
Jensen
was
aware
of
this
history,
and
that
is
why
there's
a
council
ring
that
sits
there
today
and
that
actually
tracks
back
to
the
Native
Americans
and
Jen's
Jensen,
incorporated
that
into
the
design
intentionally
to
track
back
to
the
Native,
American
history
and
lore
of
that
land.
So
I
urge
you
again
to
wait
for
the
referendum
and
please
not
make
any
decisions
or
move
forward
on
anything
and
save
Harley
Clark.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
AI
Good
evening,
everyone
anything
what
the
one
that's
home.
My
name
is
Madeline
de
Creeft
afford
I'm
gonna
read
this
and
I
might
not
look
up
and
look
at
any
of
you
tonight,
because
I
want
to
get
it
in
okay,
I'm,
beginning
to
feel
like
some
of
my
ancestors
felt
back
in
the
distant
days.
I
feel
shackled
by
this
so-called
system
and
the
rules.
AI
America
is
a
capitalist
country.
I
know
this,
but
when
this
globocide
capitalism
took
over
resentment
frustration
set
in
the
least
the
wealthy
people
knew
about
these
changes.
The
poor
people,
the
lower
middle
class
people
knew
about
it,
etc.
Our
democracy
is
being
attacked.
We
are
in
trouble
in
this
country,
our
country,
my
country.
AI
We
all
see
this
ain't,
you
feel
it
long
story
short
many
people
in
America
are
angry.
Many
citizens
are
angry
with
the
big
corporations.
The
little
delight,
the
Liberals,
the
rich,
the
poor,
the
immigrants,
the
refugees,
and
they
are
angry
with
the
government.
This
leads
me
to
our
local
government
what
is
happening
to
our
council
members
in
their
voting
before
and
now
I
ask
you
if
we
do
have
no
money.
AI
Is
like
10
wrap
it
up
with
this
I
want
everybody
to
think
about
it
at
home
and
here
with
all
this
money
being
spent.
Where
is
the
West
Side
library?
Where
is
the
West
Side
library
I
before
I?
Leave
here?
I
want
to
thank
the
city,
I
want
to
think
I.
Will
Alderman
I
want
to
thank
mr.
Hemingway,
but
most
of
all
I
want
to
thank
mr.
Walker,
who
walked
that
place
over
there
to
put
that
twig
sign
up
what
we
have
been
fighting
right
for
many
years.
I
have
more
to
say
thank
later.
Ok.
A
AJ
We're
disappointed
in
what
I
see
here,
as
suppose
our
City
Council
real
disappoint.
Any
you
spend
a
lot
of
money
for
a
place
like
to
give
some
Orson
Culture
Center
to
pay
homage
to
pay
respect,
and
now
you
have
what
you
claim
a
budget
problem
with
keeping
the
doors
of
it
open.
If
you
can't
put
the
right
people
in
there
to
manage
it,
so
it
does
become
self-sufficient.
What
have
you
been
doing
know.
AJ
You're
zooming
the
people
are
the
fifth
Ward
to
make
us
think
that
you
care.
Are
you
zooming
us
to
make
us
think
that
maybe
you
might
be
about
something
well
people
to
talk
off
both
sides
of
their
neck?
It
makes
me
doubt
who
you
are,
and
you
know
who
you
are
you're
not
doing.
The
right
thing
preserve,
foster
school
preserve
is
called
family
focused
preserve.
It
start
asking
much
not
asking
for
50
million.
It's
not
much
reserve.
AJ
Whatever
my
button
say:
hi
Lee
Clark.
What
could
it
mean
out
of
your
pocket
when
you
got
citizens
to
put
up
the
money
to
make
it
happen?
How
do
you
sit
here,
like
your
folks,
will
be
for
everyone
when
you're
not
about
fair
equity
and
diversity?
You
say
one
thing
out
of
your
mouth
and
you
do
another
thing
behind
it.

H
H
In
terms
of
what's
been
said,
obviously
the
most
important
things
has
to
do
with
the
budget
and
doing
right
by
the
people
who
need
help.
It's
the
easiest
way
of
saying
that,
and
it
all
boils
down
to
equity
and
I,
don't
think
an
equity
lens
was
appropriately
applied
to
with
the
defaults
in
terms
of
distribution
in
a
number
of
areas.
H
It
needs
to
be
addressed
before
any
decision
is
made
and
so
I'm
asking
to
delay
certain
decisions
until
such
review
can
happen
through
the
equity,
empowerment
group,
Commission,
I
think
on
all
future
decisions
and
plans
of
percent
proposals,
including
housing.
That
should
be
part
of
it.
The
messages
aren't
getting
out
as
I
know.
With
regard
to
the
steering
committee,
because
I
didn't
know
about
it,
I
have
friends
who
are
awesome.
H
We
make
awesome,
but
there's
no
equivalence
to
some
from
what
I
understand
for
some
of
the,
when
you
call
it
the
job
description
which
would
prohibit
four
people
from
even
thinking
about
it,
let
alone
knowing
about
it.
So
people
don't
know
about
it.
It
hasn't
been
widely
distributed
and
in
terms
of
what
stands
there,
a
lot
of
people
who
would
make
great
contributors
are
excluding
themselves
because
they
don't
think
that
the
city
would
be
interested
in
them.
A
lot
of
people
are
like
the
ones
who
just
spoke.
They
have
years
of
experience.
H
Betty
Esther's
is
a
friend
of
mine,
obviously,
and
she
I
respect
her
and
go
to
her
for
everything,
and
everybody
knows
her
she's
a
very
kind,
fully
informed
person
and
has
a
bit
of
passion.
Even
talking
to
you
mayor,
the
steering
committee
has
to
be
extended
in
terms
of
you
looking
for
people,
and
you
make
it
clear
that
you
want
community
participate
and
this
thing
about
outsiders
that
should
be
a
last
resort.
H
I
know
you're
looking
for
professional
types,
but
if
you
exclude
the
constituency
I
do
not
know
how
you're
going
to
involve
them
in
discussions,
because
the
way
I
understand
it,
community
input
will
be
going
through
housing
and
homelessness,
which
no
people.
Nobody
knows
about
that
Commission
and
that's
Commission
is
is
listed
as
temporary,
not
not
a
long
term,
so
who's
gonna
even
think
to
go
that
route.
H
A
You
thank
you
very
appreciate
it.
Okay,
that
that
concludes
public
comment.
Obviously,
there
was
a
variety
of
issues
that
around
people's
minds,
I
appreciate
everybody
coming
out
and
sharing
those
with
the
council
we're
gonna
move
into
the
agenda
when
the
first
item
on
the
agenda
this
evening
is
a
special
order
of
business,
its
sp1,
which
is
a
formal
request,
access
harley
clark
mansion
prior
to
the
Preservation
Commission
hearing
I'm,
going
to
ask
Alderman
Ravel
to
introduce
this
Thank.
AM
You
mr.
mayor
I'm
going
to
be
making
two
separate
motions:
the
first
one
to
deal
with
the
request
from
the
Preservation
Commission
for
access
to
harley
clark,
mansion
and
the
second
one
regarding
the
application
from
landmarks
illinois.
So
first
I
move
that
we
grant
the
request
of
the
Evanston
Preservation
Commission
to
access
the
Harley
Clark
mansion
for
Commission
members
to
prepare
for
their
October
23rd
special
meeting
to
consider
the
city's
application
for
a
certificate
of
appropriateness
for
demolition
of
the
mansion.
For.
A
AM
While
the
standards
that
the
Commission
uses
to
make
a
determination
about
the
landmark
status
of
a
building
focus
on
the
exterior
or
the
building,
the
question
of
demolition
involves
consideration
of
the
condition
of
the
building
as
a
whole.
Both
the
interior
and
the
exterior
and
the
city's
application
for
certificate
of
appropriateness
for
demolition
says
that
the
building's
current
state
presents
quote
a
danger
to
person.
Persons
inhabiting
or
visiting
the
property.
End
quote.
AM
AN
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
don't
have
an
objection
to
the
Commission
going
inside
the
building,
but
I
I
am
very
concerned
about.
How
is
this
discussion
and
the
process
proceeds?
We've
made
a
decision
about
the
MOU.
The
next
step
in
this
process
is
the
application
for
CoA
from
the
Commission.
The
Commission's
standards
clearly
state.
If
you
go
and
read
them
in
the
preservation
ordinance
that
only
the
standards
are
to
be
addressed
and
those
standards
do
not
address
anything
on
the
interior
of
the
building.
AN
Now,
since
apparently,
some
commissioners
have
never
been
in
the
building,
or
some
may
not
even
have
been
near,
the
building
I
think
it's
appropriate
for
them
to
be
granted
access
to
to
the
interior
if
that
helps
inform
them
as
to
any
structural
defects
that
are
not
readily
visible
from
the
outside.
We've
had
a
preservation
ordinance
since
1978.
In
that
time
there
have
been
a
number
of
landmark
demolition
applications.
AN
So
I'm
I'm
very
concerned
that
aside
from
Harley
Clark-
and
we
can
set
that
aside
for
a
moment
but
I'm
a
very
concerned
about
our
two,
our
two
Commission's
a
plan
Commission
and
the
Preservation
Commission-
that
have
very
specific
standards
to
follow,
and
it
says
clearly
in
the
Preservation
Commission.
Only
these
standards
can
be
the
standards
that
are
part
of
the
discussion
for
demolition
and
the
interior
inspection
is
not
a
part
of
it
at
all.
AN
I
do
not
want
to
expand
the
purview
of
the
Commission
to
go
beyond
the
standards
without
some
review
by
the
City
Council.
As
to
the
expansion
of
those
standards,
then
I
think
we
get
into
a
very
fuzzy
area
of
a
setting
precedent
that
really
has
no
basis.
So
before
going
to
do
that.
If
we're
going
to
start
saying,
okay
well
now,
Preservation
Commission
look
at
the
interiors
of
buildings
when
people
come
and
they
want
to
want
to
demolish
their
landmarks.
We
can
do
that.
I
mean
that's
within
our.
AN
AN
AO
Now
the
Melissa
yeah
I
agree
I,
think
just
to
make
sure
that
the
the
general
idea
is
reflected
I.
Think
it's
important
to
just
to
provide
this.
It
is
a
city-owned
property.
I
think
that's
a
lot
different
than
a
privately
owned
property,
and
in
order
to
ensure
that
we
do
have
complete
transparency
for
what's
what's
happening
in
this
process,
I
think
it's
appropriate
to
go
ahead
and
allow
this
access.
Okay,.
AN
AN
AP
A
AM
And
then
I'd
like
the
council,
to
consider
the
request.
We
also
received
from
landmarks
Illinois,
so
I
move
that
we
grant
the
request
of
landmarks
Illinois
for
and
I
emphasize
as
limited
access
to
the
Harley
Clark
mansion
I'm,
going
to
insert
a
new
word
for
a
pre-identified,
select
group
of
expert
architects,
engineers
and
Assessors
in
order
to
conduct
an
examination
of
the
interior.
Next
teary
exterior
conditions
of
the
building
in
preparation
for
the
October
23rd
special
meeting
of
the
Preservation
Commission
is.
AN
Thank
you.
This
is
a
little
bit
different.
This
is
an
adverse
advocacy
group
not
connected
with
the
city
of
Evanston,
but,
more
importantly,
landmarks.
Illinois
did
have
interior
access
to
the
building
just
two
years
ago
and
prepared
a
report.
They
brought
in
a
consultant
with
Janney
who
prepared
a
report
that
we
have
all
seen
for
landmarks
Illinois,
where
they
spoke
specifically
about
the
conditions
both
in
the
building
and
outside
the
building,
put
estimated
costs
on
the
repairs
that
they
identified.
AN
I
I
don't
see
that
there
is
a
need
for
them
to
go
back
in
and
I
think
that
if
we,
if
we
go
this
route,
I,
don't
see
anything
in
their
letter
that
says
that
they're
going
to
be
addressing
standards
or
and
as
far
as
I
know
they're
going
to
be
at
citizen
comment
at
the
Commission,
which
doesn't
give
them
much
time
to
discuss
a
report
that
they
would
be
putting
together
now,
I
I.
Just
this
is
very
confusing
and
I.
AN
AO
Don't
know
if
it's
a
do
you
see,
I
see
that
point
and
I
also
have
some
hesitation,
but
that
you
know
one
of
the
challenges.
I
think
that
I'm
struggling
with
is
that
were
in
the
position,
we're
in
kind
of
by
a
razor
thin
margin,
and
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
opinions
in
the
community
and
one
of
the
things
I
also
struggle
with
is
I
feel
like.
There
have
probably
been
opportunities
over
a
period
of
time
where
options
might
it
might
have
been
available,
but
weren't
weren't
fully
vetted.
AO
So
you
know
to
the
extent
that
there
is
a
small
group
of
identified.
Individuals
who
want
to
you
know,
make
their
best
presentation
in
response
to
the
application
I'm.
Okay,
with
that
I,
do
think
it
would
have
to
be
a
small
group.
You
know,
as
in
you
know,
a
handful
or
less
of
pre
identified
individuals,
and
you
know
a
finite
amount
of
time,
and
you
know
no
physical
testing.
No,
you
know
like
removing
anything,
nothing
of
that
nature,
but
just
observational
to
followup
with
that
that
prior
report,
you
know
I
wonder
you
know.
AO
The
process
in
the
path
that
is
is
being
undertaken
is
almost
certainly
to
be
a
lengthy
one,
and
you
know
we
don't
know,
what's
going
to
come
up
between
now
and
then
the
process
and
press
and
procedure
were
in
the
midst
of
is,
if
more
or
less
I
think
perceived
as
the
result
of
a
lack
of
options
and
to
the
extent
that
this
extensive
you
know,
press
and
and
an
information,
that's
out
there
might
present
to
the
possibility
of
future
options.
I
wouldn't
want
to
preclude
those.
AN
AN
AN
Some
Atlas
advocacy
in
the
press
that
presented
just
one
side,
I,
think
and
that's
been
very
difficult
for
those
of
us
who
are
trying
to
really
figure
out
what
the
best
thing
is
to
do
here
with
this,
this
property
that
the
city
owns
I,
don't
see
that
this
is
moving,
it
might
make
some
folks
feel
better,
but
we're
not
going
to
end
up
with
any
new
information.
I
think
it
just
will
continue
to
muddy
the
water
I
think
we
should
go
through
the
the
Preservation
Commission
meeting.
AN
Without
any
more
fanfare,
my
own
personal
guess
is
that
the
Commission
will
vote
to
deny
the
certificate
of
appropriateness,
and
that
will
put
us
in
a
position
of
having
to
decide
then
whether
we
go
for
a
certificate
of
special
merit
or
of
economic
hardship.
That's
the
more
appropriate
time
for
something
like
landmarks.
Illinois
is
looking
at
that's
the
time.
When
we
talk
about
how
much
money
it
would
take
to
invest
in
the
building.
What
the
use
for
the
building
is
all
of
these
questions,
but
this
is
not.
AN
AN
Road
to
getting
the
getting
the
response
from
the
Preservation
Commission
and
then
asking
for
more
information
and
then
I
think
it
then
it
then
it
would
be
appropriate
to
take
all
of
these
former
studies.
The
the
Pritzker
study,
the
landmark
study,
the
city
staff
study
and
sit
down
and
look
at
all
of
them
and
try
to
come
up
with
what
work
needs
to
be
done
and
what
the
numbers
actually
are.
But
I
don't
think
it's
now.

is
for

staff
recommend,
City
Council
authorized
the
city
manager
to
increase
a
supplemental
building,
inspection
and
plan
review
services.
Contract
agreement
amount
from
$50,000
not

the
amount
of
88
thousand
dollars
with
safe
field,
incorporated
due
to
a
prolonged
bacon
C
in
commercial
plan
review
position.
The
position
has
not
been
filled
due
to
a
shortage
in
the
job
market
for
individuals
that
qualify
for
this
work.
The
proposed
action
is
budget
neutral.
The
current
contract
was
safe,
built
was
awarded
on
April
1st
2016.
C
Wanted
some
clarification,
obviously,
given
that
we're
coming
up
on
the
budget
and
there's
some
potential
layoffs,
so
we're
looking
at
I
just
wanted
a
little
more
information
about
this
position
and
I
know
that
there
is
a
ask
in
the
community
development
department
for
planner.
So
just
getting
clarification
on
this
position
versus
that
one
also.
Have
we
gone
back
out
to
look
for
a
commercial
plan
review,
or
are
we
pretty
confident
that
none
exists
and
so
we're
going
to
go
forward
with
this
contract?.
AS
So
I'll
answer
the
first
question:
the
difference
between
a
planner
and
a
plan.
Reviewer
a
planner
as
proposed
in
the
budget,
is
a
position
that
reviews
compliance
with
the
zoning
code,
checks
for
zoning
compliance
in
the
field
when
there's
requests,
oh
I,
think
there's
a
business
that's
operating
here
out
of
somebody's
home.
It's
somebody
who
prepares
memos
for
the
DBA
and
the
Planning
Commission.
Those
are
the
types
of
activities
that
that
person
would
do.
They
staff
the
permit
desk
to
answer
walk-in
questions
about
zoning
and
historic
preservation.
AS
It's
been
hard
to
identify
somebody
with
the
right
qualifications
and
experience.
We've
kept
the
job,
open,
I
believe
it
is
still
open
or
it
we
closed
it.
We're
gonna
interview
some
some
individuals,
but
none
of
those
that
were
interviewed
had
on
paper
the
the
specific
qualifications
that
we
generally
look
for
in
a
commercial
brand
reviewer.
AS
So
we've
been
doing
our
best
to
keep
up
with
a
with
the
response
time.
Generally,
it's
four
weeks
from
when
you
submit
your
building
permit
to
when
you
would
get
a
building
permit
I
think
we're
we're
just
about
there.
It's
helped
a
little
bit
that
we've
slowed
down,
but
this
warm
weather
has
kept
the
permits
coming
in
the
door,
which
is
a
good
thing
for
the
city.
So
we
are
the
person
who
contracts
with
us
who
comes
in
from
safe
built
comes
in
once
a
week
does
work.
AS
We
also
our
residential
plan,
reviewer
picks
up
and
does
some
of
the
additional
reviews
as
well.
So
it's
we've
we've
tried
to
make
it
work.
There's
pieces
of
this
commercial
plan
reviewer
that
we've
shifted
some
of
those
jobs
to
other
folks,
sign
reviews
and
the
variance
process,
there's
other
staff
that
are
doing
those
jobs
right
now.
So.
AS
I
would
love
to
accelerate
it,
but
given
the
resources
and
and
the
time
that,
and
that
four
weeks
also
includes
our
review-
it's
not
four
weeks
of
somebody's
looking
at
plans
for
for
20
business
days.
It's
we,
we
receive
it.
It
goes
through
an
initial
review
and
then,
if
there's
questions
or
comments
or
further
clarification,
that
we
generally
need
from
a
contractor
or
an
architect,
we
go
through
that
process,
so
they're,
sometimes
it
back
and
forth,
and
then
that
may
require
a
revision.
AS
So
on
the
balance
of
it
that
whole
processes
of
four
weeks
I
think
we're
all
striving.
Gary
Gerdes,
the
building,
inspection
services,
division
manager
and
I
talk
pretty
regularly
about
how
we
can.
We
could
move
that
forward
and
get
you
know
somewhere
in
the
two
to
three
week
range,
but
the
majority
of
our
permits
are
issued
over-the-counter
so
they're,
not
things
that
go
through
that
process.
I
think
our
stout
right
now
is
about
seventy.
AS
F
K
AS
Right
so
there's
there's
a
couple
of
pieces
that
have
helped
reduce
the
overall
there
there's
also
northwestern
the
activities
northwestern,
which
is
what
this
commercial
plan
reviewer
has
spent
a
lot
of
their
time
doing
over
the
years.
Some
of
that
work
has
slowed
down,
there's
not
as
there's
still
work
that
we
review
from
Northwestern,
but
they're
building
cycle
has
slowed
so
there's
not
those
large
projects
under
review.
All.

Mr.

members

for
the

the
emergencies

snow,
our

think
we
do
a
pretty
substantial
job
of
getting
that
word
out.
So
we
will
continue
to
be
diligent
with
that.
I
think
the
change
of
the
snow
emergency
following
the
accumulation
of
four
inches
of
snow,
sometimes
the
the
four
inches.
This
is
not
exactly
the
24-hour
period,
and
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
had
that
flexibility,
and
then
people
call-
and
they
heard
they're
frustrated
with

mr.

great,

so
maybe
it's
something
that
we
flier
in

something
so
that

understand

I
mean
for

I
park
on
the

and
I'm,
not
always
checking
for
two
inches
one
day
and
you
know
and
I
understand.
We
need
to
plow
the
streets.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
have
a
bunch
of
frustrated
people
the
first

We
do
this
because
they
don't

Marin
chairman
Wilton
I
would
like
to
suspend
the
rules
on
this
and
move
for
approval
and
explain
that
Graciela
had
to
leave
because
she
has
to
get
up
and
go
to
work
at
6
o'clock
in
the
morning
and
I
said:
ok,
I
I
can
explain
for
you.
I
sat
through
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals
and
listened
to
her
case
when
she
came
before
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals.
One
of
the
things
that
just
surprised
me
was
when
she
was
being
told
that
they
would
approve
her
one-bedroom
basement
apartment,
which
was
approvable
on
all
the
conditions.
AP
Was
it
but
she
had
to
make
it
an
affordable
unit.
She's
lived
in
this
building
for
she
owns
the
building.
It
should
lived
there
for
years
and
years
and
years
and
her
tenant.
Her
other
tenant
has
lived
there
for
years
and
years
and
years,
and
it
just
seems
so
strange
that
to
make
this
one-bedroom
apartment
in
her
garden
unit,
which
she
has
to
make
legal
I
mean
all
of
the
conditions
were
laid
out
just
seemed.
AP
Unusual,
and
so
we
had
a
talk
about
how
she
charges,
rent
and
I
believe
the
rent
she
charges
is
more
than
reasonable
and
to
impose
upon
her
a
time
frame
of
10
or
15
years.
Whatever
they
placed
on
her
is
just
I
mean
I,
I,
don't
even
know
if
she'll
still
be
there
in
that
length
of
time.
So
I'm
gonna
ask
that
we
disregard
that
requirement
and
I,
don't
even
know
how
they
have
the
authority
to
impose
that
on.
Her
I
did
hear
that
going
forward.
AP
If
you
change
the
number
of
bedrooms
in
a
building
that
that
will
be
something,
but
we
don't
have
that
ordinance.
Yet
it's
a
two
flat
with
two
bedrooms,
upstairs
two
bedrooms
in
her
unit,
I'd
I,
just
don't
understand
where
they
get
that
authority,
so
I'm
going
to
ask
that
we
approve
it
without
that
requirement.
AO
We
don't
require
45,000
square
feet
for
the
three
fly,
so
if
we
could
fix
the
typo
on
page
498,
where
there's
an
extra
zero
there,
but
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
strike
section
four
be
recording
of
regarding
the
affordable
unit
and
then
renumber
Section
C
as

I
move
that
we
strike
section
4b

we
label

Drop
well,

I,
generally
I,
don't
have
an
issue
personally
with
it,
but
I
know
that
the
that
the
property
owner
had
been
at
the
meetings
and
and
voiced
a
variety
of
concerns
about
they
I,
don't
know
that
they
were
here
tonight.
So
it's
not
marked
as
and
it's
a
suspension
of
the
rules
and
them
in
the
in
the
package.
So
I
I,
don't
want
to
oh
they're
here.
AT
Know
I
I,
my
name
is
Bridget
okie
for
the
record
I'm
an
attorney
with
Desmond
almond
I'm
representing
the
owner.
They
asked
me
to
come
tonight
just
to
sit
and
observe
because
the
owner
is
was
ill
and
could
not
make
it
so
I,
don't
feel
to
say
what
their
position
was
because
they're
not
here
I,
know
they've
tried
to
be
very
cooperative
and
they
tried
to
work
together
and
they
understand
how
important
this
is
to
the
community.
So
I
I
wish
I
could
say
I'm
authorized,
but
I'm
but
I'm
not
unfortunately,.
AO
AQ
So
the
and
I
imagine
it's
in
the
packet,
the
owner
family
focus
with
their
attorney
made
some
adjustments
to
the
language
to
allow
for
exterior
improvements,
and
the
community
group
did
not
object
and
agree
to
that,
so
that
they
would
not
have
as
many
challenges
selling
it.
If
that
is
what
was
going
to
happen.
AQ
So
it's
my
opinion
that
the
owner
family
focus
and
the
community
group
worked
together
to
come
up
with
a
best
option
for
the
owners
to
feel
comfortable,
as
well
as
the
community
to
get
their
request
of
preservation
and
there
hadn't
been
any
further
objection
or
concerns.
After
the
approval
of
the
language
from
the
committee
meeting
from
from
the
owner
that
I've
been
made
aware
of.
A
AO
And
I
appreciate
all
that,
but
I
you
know.
Hopefully
you
can
appreciate.
If,
if
we
got
a
you
know
call
tomorrow,
then
I
would
feel
like
we've
definitely
done
the
wrong
thing.
I
just
you
know
it's
it's
set
for
introduction.
Typically,
if
there's
going
to
be
suspension
of
the
rules,
you
know
it's
in
the
packet
or
there's
you
know
so
that
you
know
but
and
clearly
there's
been
conversations
and
negotiations.
So
I
just
don't
personally
know
what
they
think

I
believe
in

a
woman's
domestic
violence
shelter
in
New
Orleans
for
Metro
centers
in
New.
Orleans
also
I
want
to
say
that
I.
AP
Know
our
staff
called
the
lights
on
Howard
Street
holiday
lights,
but
they
go
up
in
November
and
they
come
well.
They
go
up
the
end
of
October
really
and
come
down
in
April,
so
I
guess
their
Thanksgiving
lights,
Christmas
lights,
Anika
likes
Easter
lights,
Valentine,
lights,
New,
Year's,
Eve,
lights
and
etc,
etcetera
lights,
we
don't
call
them
holiday
lights,
we
call
them
economic
development
lights
and
it's
in
partnership
with
Rogers
Park,
because
we
put
them
up
together
their
side,
our
side
and
we
take
them
down
together.
AP
So
I
think
I
think
it
was
kind
of
an
exaggeration
calling
them
holiday
lights.
Also
in
terms
of
wasting
money
on
a
theater
on
Howard
Street
I
have
to
address
that
tonight.
We
heard
a
series
of
arguments
in
favor
of
the
importance
of
the
Arts.
This
building
on
Howard
Street,
the
Howard
Street
Theater,
will
be
once
it's
up
the
only
standalone,
Performing
Arts
Theater
in
the
city
of
Evanston.
That's
really
quite
unusual
when
you
think
of
how
extraordinary
the
arts
have
become
and
city
of
Evanston.
AP
There
is
no
standalone
city
performing
arts
theater
in
the
city
of
Evanston.
This
will
be
it
also
I
want
to
make
a
reference
to
transportation
and
parking,
and
that
is
on
establishing
a
new
ordinance
that
will
identify
certain
pickup
trucks
as
passenger
vehicles
and
I
out
an
email
so
that
I
didn't
have
to
hand
out
stuff.
AP
They
don't
have
signage
on
them,
they're
under
a
certain
weight,
because
we
have
families
that
use
pickup
trucks
as
their
passenger
vehicle
and
they
cannot
park
them
on
many
of
our
streets
and
that's
a
problem
because
they
don't
have
garages
and
they
need
to
put
their
city
their
their
family
vehicles,
someplace,
so
I've
I'm,
making
that
reference.
Thank
you
great.
AN
You,
mr.
mayor,
the
only
thing
I
want
to
add
to
the
discussion
about
Harley
Clarke
tonight
we
had
in
front
of
the
Preservation
Commission
is
that
there
there
are
some
commission
members
who
have
expressed
support
not
only
for
the
referendum
but
through
other
things
that
they've
done
or
said.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
something
that
is
discussed
at
the
Preservation
Commission
I'm,
fully
hopeful
that
all
the
Commission
members
will
agree
that
they're
going
to
join
together
to
look
at
this
application
in
an
objective
way
and
but
I
there.
AN
AR
Thank
you
all
that
that's
called
mine,
Braithwaite,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
to
all
second,
were
aggressive
just
quickly
announcing
that
our
normally

is,

be
hosted.
This
Thursday
October
11th
is
going
to
be
rescheduled
to
Tuesday,
October
16th,
the
topic
and
the
way
it's
being
advertised
as
it's
our
budget
review,
that's
going
to
be
from
6:00
to
7:30
at
temperance
brewery
as
well
I'm
inviting
mayor
and
any
other
member
of
council
that
would
like
to
join
us
to
discuss
the
budget.
AU
AQ
Just
a
note
that
our
fifth
Ward
meetings
for
the
month
of
October,
November
and
December
will
be
on
2nd
Wednesday,
starting
this
week,
Wednesday
the
10th
we
will
meet
at
family-focused
in
the
theater
at
7:00
p.m.
we
will
discuss
the
budget
in
detail
as
it
relates
to
our
ward
facilities,
programming
and
impact
on
some
of
our
residents.
AQ
AM
You
so
you
may
recall
that
last
May,
the
MWR
D
board,
was
asked
to
consider
a
request
for
a
road
easement
across
isabella
woods.
That's
a
nice
wooded
area
on
north
of
isabella,
just
between
the
CTA
tracks
and
the
golf
course,
and
you
may
recall
them
that
the
City
Council
passed
a
resolution
to
oppose
this
attempt
to
get
a
roadway
through
this
undisturbed.
Woodland
and
MWR
D
board
listened
to
the
public
outcry.
AM
They
were
really
impressed
at
how
many
citizens
they
heard
from
that's,
not
normal
for
them,
and
they
turned
down
that
road
request
unanimously,
the
private
landowner
once
this
roadway
is
back
again
and
this
time
the
request
is
to
put
a
road
across
the
10th
hole
of
the
golf
course
from
Maple
Avenue
in
Wilmette.
And
so,
although
this
isn't
heavily
wooded
like
Isabella
wood,
it
is
Canal
shores,
considers
it
the
most
ecologically
sensitive
area
of
the
golf
course.
AM
It
includes
several
century-old
oak
trees
and
three
wetlands,
and
so
they,
the
Golf
Course,
is
adamantly
opposed
to
this
roadway,
a
request
as
it
happened,
mayor
Haggerty
and
I
had
a
meeting
this
morning
with
MW
Rd
board.
Presidents
parabolas
and
we
expressed
our
strong
opposition
Evanston
strong
opposition
to
this
attempt
to
take
public
land
for
private
gain
and
harm.
This
important,
shared,
Evanston,
Wilmette
treasure
and
mayor
Haggerty
is
going
to
be
following
up
with
a
letter
to
that
effect.
