All
members,
having
answered
the
call
of
the
role
in
one
way
or
another,
we
have
a
full
compliment
and
therefore
Quorum
present
and
are
prepared
to
do
our
work
for
the
evening.
A
The
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
my
public
announcements
and
proclamations
of
which
I
have
won
Proclamation,
declaring
today
Morris
Dino
Robinson
day,
so
I'll
read
it
for
the
benefit
of
the
community,
whereas
Morris
Dino,
Robinson
Jr,
is
the
production
manager
at
Northwestern,
University
press
and
holds
a
ba
degree
in
communication
design
and
a
minor
in
African-American
studies
and
whereas
in
1995
he
founded
the
pioneering
shorefront
Legacy
Center,
an
organization
that
he
still
serves
as
executive
director
and
whereas
within
shorefront
he
has
authored
books,
facilitated
subject-specific.
A
Now,
when
I
have
the
honor
of
giving
these
proclamations,
we
always
are
eager
to
bring
up
and
recognize
those
who
are
Rec
who
are
being
honored
or
celebrated
in
some
way.
It's
not
always
easy.
A
For
instance,
tonight
Dino
wasn't
able
to
make
it
in
person,
but
we
have
him
here
on
Zoom
I
want
to
just
briefly
flag
that
two
weeks
ago,
when
we
had
a
proclamation
commemorating
Sigma
gamma
rho's
100th
years
of
anniversary,
we
actually
had
some
members
of
the
sorority
here
in
the
chamber,
but
I
was
given
misinformation
about
that,
and
so
they
weren't
invited
to
come
up,
which
is
something
that
I
regret,
but
we
always
do
really
appreciate
having
an
opportunity
to
hear
from
those
who
are
who
are
being
celebrated
so
with
that
dino.
E
Thank
you
so
much
I
really
honored
about
this.
This
her
recognition,
it
was
unexpected.
My
mother
should
be
there
and,
if
it's
possible,
she
is
I,
would
love
for
her
to
accept
that
population.
In
my
behalf,
without
my
mom,
without
my
dad,
I
would
not
be
doing
the
things
I've
been
doing
with
Shore
front
and
for
the
community
and
I
want
to
recognize
the
fact
that
you
know
that
my
mom
is
there
to
to
celebrate
this
evening.
E
I
I,
don't
know
what
else
to
say
it's
just
this.
This
is
a
a
wonderful,
wonderful,
honor
and
I
hope
that
I
just
did
write
by
serving
our
community
of
Evanston
in
a
way
that
is
beneficial
to
all
so
I.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
this
honor
and
and
I
don't
know
what
else
to
say.
Really.
Thank
you.
A
Well,
thank
you
so
much
for
all
your
wonderful
work
and
if,
if
Mr
Morrison's
mother
would
be
willing
to
come
up
and
be
recognized,
I
would
really
really
appreciate
that.
F
E
F
F
I
just
want
to
say
that
your
front
has
been
unique
in
so
many
ways.
Its
Outreach
has
started
just
from
the
community
and
from
one
person
till
now,
the
Smithsonian
Institute
in
Washington
DC
and
people
in
Pembroke
Illinois,
where
he
once
went
and
did
a
study
and
helped
them
with
their
their
history
and
winter
winter
view
of
Florida
where
he
went
and
talked
about
their
history.
F
So
now
let
me
just
say
that
lately
he's
been
on
the
reparations
committee
and
now
Evanston
is
on
the
map
as
starting
a
process
of
reparations
for
the
people
of
Evanston
and
the
Smithsonian
Institute
was
here
two
years
ago,
digitizing
black
history
of
some
of
the
residents
here
in
Evanston,
and
they
were
very
eager
to
get
started
and
to
understand
like
this
is
the
computer
age
and
your
your
photos
might
not
last.
F
But
this
digitization
process
will
make
your
history
last
and
they
sat
and
they
waited,
and
this
went
on
for
a
week
or
two
and
then
now
we
are
going
to
have
a
digitization
process
going
on
in
Shore
front.
The
space
has
already
been
made
available
and
Smithsonian
is
coming
to
install
the
equipment.
For
that
also
another
Innovative
thing:
what
are
the
historical
markers
that
have
been
going
down
with
the
help
of
the
Evanston
Department
of
I?
F
Don't
know
what
the
department
is,
but
they
do
the
drilling
for
these
discs
that
go
into
the
concrete,
and
so
there's
one
at
our
former
mayor
mayor,
Morton's
house,
Edwin,
Jordan's
house
evanston's,
first,
black
Council,
councilman,
one
at
325
Dempster
and
one
at
1918
Asbury,
which
was
a
former
hospital
for
blacks.
F
Well,
now,
Northwestern
is
involved
with
doing
someone.
That's
involved
with
doing
oral
histories.
Another
way
to
to
have
history
shown
and
Shore
front
meets
with
groups
of
adults
and
children
for
presentations
regularly.
F
Community
displays
have
been
at
the
byline
bank,
for
example,
they've
been
in
their
field,
they've
been
in
Glencoe.
F
So
that's
another
thing
that
I
think
that
is
unique
about
shorefront
is
we're
sharing
the
the
history
throughout
the
community
and
the
North
Shore.
F
We
also
have
Publications
one
in
particular,
is
the
ym
history
of
the
YMCA.
That
has
quite
an
interesting
history
and
drop-ins
are
always
welcome
and
possible,
but
you
do
have
to
kind
of
make
a
reservation,
because
we
can't
have
everybody
in
at
the
same
at
the
same
time,
and
Dino
can
only
do
so
much
at
once,
but
he
has
had
generally
been
there
on
Saturdays
and
we
will
be
revamping
that
program.
F
Other
history
groups
have
visited
Shore
front
and
have
been
really
Amazed
by
the
collections
which
have
grown
I
mean
we
started
at
the
Family
Focus
in
Evanston
on
the
third
floor
and
outgrew
that
space
and
came
to
the
church,
the
Sherman
church
and
we
are
really
pressing
for
space
in
there.
But
we're
managing.
F
E
Me
know:
okay,
great
I'll,
keep
this
within
10
minutes
the
best
of
my
ability
after
the
presentation,
I'm
gonna
have
one
other
person
to
speak
right
after
I,
speak
and
I.
Think
it's
an
important
transition
to
this.
So,
yes,
we're
celebrating
in
25
years
of
collecting,
preserving
and
educating
people
about
black
history
on
Chicago,
Suburban,
North,
Shore
and
just
kind
of
give
you
a
little
illustration.
We
did
start
on
my
dining
room
table
and
this
Photograph
here
is
that
dining
table
I
started
on,
and
that
is
the
short
front
desk.
E
In
the
background
with
this
little
archive
at
its
time
and
we
started
1995
with
a
very
small
budget
that
came
out
of
my
own
pocket,
but
I
want
to
know
that
in
1997,
I.
I
E
Recipient
of
the
a
losing
cultural
fund
for
individual
artists
to
do
an
oral
history
project
and
that
award
was
for
700,
7,
500
and
I
have
to
say
is
because
of
bad
monies.
That
short,
that
the
City
of
Evanston
was
responsible
for
the
launch
of
what
became
Shore
fronts
without
that
fund
I'm,
not
sure
where
it
would
have
gone.
But
that
was
the
start.
So
I
don't
have
to
say
that
just
money
well
invested
for
the
City
of
Evanston.
A
J
E
Okay,
great
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
chiming
in
on
that.
Let
me
know
if
there's
any
other
technical
difficulties,
I
hope
there's
none
out
there.
After
this
in
2002
we
used
the
the
term
Forefront
or
the
name
for
the
first
time.
E
One
thing
I
want
to
iterate
that
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
happen
in
the
show
front.
That
was
not
necessarily
my
idea.
My
idea
for
an
organization
was
to
have
a
one-word
title
and
I
had
two
board
members
that
wanted
that
recommended
the
name
shorefun
and
that
was
Karen
Shavers
and
my
father
Morris
Robinson,
who
both
recommended
the
name
short
fund
and
from
that
point,
on
WE
utilized.
That
name
I.
Hope
you
see
the
next
screen
about
1997.
We
moved
to
a
new
location.
E
Still
at
my
home,
at
2121,
Church
Street
in
a
lower
level
was
where
Shore
front's
office
first
appeared,
and
you
see
that
table
there.
We
were
15
members
from
meeting
quarterly
around
the
small
table.
It
is
400
square
foot
space
in
a
lower
level
of
my
home
I
had
the
visitors
come
and
do
research
down
there
that
we
needed
to
grow
by
23
by
2008,
we
moved
to
the
former
Foster
School
location
and
renovated
a
double
classroom.
E
On
the
second
floor
of
that
Center,
the
grand
opening
had
a
ribbon
cutting
by
then
former
mayor
Lorraine
H
Morton,
with
about
100
committee
members
showing
up
to
the
opening
of
this
the
space.
Here
we
have
multiple
programs
of
expanded
some
models
of
what
we
want
to
do
within
the
community,
including
youth
programming
called
The
Legacy
keepers.
E
By
2013,
we
moved
to
our
current
location
at
22
for
14
Ridge
Avenue,
which
is
the
lower
level
of
Sherman
United
Methodist
Church,
who
have
been
a
wonderful
partner
and
sponsor
of
shore
front
space
of
since
that
time.
This
photograph,
in
particular
about
our
Partnerships.
These
are
representatives
of
both
Ebenezer
Amy
Church
in
Evanston,
evans's
oldest
black
church
in
Evanston
and
members
from
the
Smithsonian
Institute
national
museum
of
African,
American
history
and
culture,
specifically
their
organized
religion,
department
that
was
looking
at
Ebenezer
Amy
churches
archives
for
work.
E
E
It
wasn't
until
recent
years
that
some
grandstadt
we
have
supporting
us
have
grown
and
we're
really
appreciative
that
of
the
grants
that
we've
had
over
over
the
many
years
of
operation
we've
inquired
about
it,
but
we
have
been
very
diligent
of
how
we
utilize
those
funds
and
how
we
maximize
use
within
the
community
without
taxing
levels
of
humidity.
Along
with
that,
so
we're
very
fortunate
of
the
many
funders
that
we've
had
over
the
years
and
some
who've
done
continual
funding.
E
It
is
our
plan,
though,
to
grow
an
endowment,
and
we
started
one
first
in
2004
that
lasted
until
2012..
It
only
was
about
five
thousand
dollars
because
since
then
invested
had
the
evidence,
Community
Foundation
in
2019
and
amount
of
ten
thousand
and
since
then
it
has
grown,
and
we
hope
to
grow
this,
because
I
think
in
anything
that
we
do
as
an
organization.
E
Recently
there
was
a
report
at
the
in
the
Stanford
social
Innovation
review,
which
for
2022
that
spoke
about
endowing
blood,
LED
non-profits,
and
this
one
quote
here
really
stood
out
to
me
as
to
what
we're
facing
Across,
the
Nation
with
endowing
organizations
like
Shore
front
and
other
black
lab
organizations,
and
it's
never
an
issue
about
not
funding
too
much
is
funding
too
little
a
lot
of
times.
Organizations
are
funded
just
enough
to
just
kind
of
eat.
By
and
fail
is
our
intent
to
grow
and
become
self-sufficient.
E
And
with
that
is
our
goal
in
the
coming
years
to
raise
two
million
dollars
at
Food
evidence
Community
Foundation,
so
we
have
at
least
a
minimum
operating
budget
of
sixty
thousand
dollars
per
year,
and
that's
something
that
I
can
grow
over
the
course
of
time.
That
will
help
sustain
the
activities
and
functions
of
shore
fronts.
E
This
is
a
list
of
over
the
years
of
all
of
our
funders.
Quite
numerous,
the
ones
that
are
in
red
have
been
multi-year
funders.
E
One
point
to
bring
out
is
the
Richard
H
Greenhouse
Foundation,
that
was
funding
us
since
2010
consecutively
through
president
and
one
of
both
the
Andrew
Mullen
Foundation
was
our
largest
single
contribution
in
our
in
our
in
our
operation
funds
over
the
last
two
years,
and
we
look
forward
to
hopefully
growing
that
relationship
further
with
the
Mellow
Foundation,
as
likewise
with
many
others
that
I
have
been
funding
us
throughout
the
years.
E
Foreign
used
in
the
community
is
through
a
lot
of
different
things.
We
partner
with
schools.
We
have
various
researchers
that
come
through
short
front
to
utilize,
their
our
archives
and
they
produce
products
out
of
that
where
there's
Publications
thesis
documentary
movies
and
other
forms
of
dissemination
of
historical
information.
E
This
these
two
people
here
in
the
research
room.
Actually,
if
you
remember
some
of
our
history,
you
talk
about
the
Henry
Butler
Liberty
staple
with
a
gentleman.
A
riot
is
the
descendant
of
that
History
Liberty
stable,
and
he
was
coming
in
to
do
research
on
his
family.
Legacy
and
also
donating
some
items
to
the
archives
about
his
family,
Legacy
and
I
thought
it
was
a
really
engaging
environment
at
that
day
and
I
had
this
opportunity
to
record
part
of
our
conversations
during
that
meeting.
E
An
impact
that
we
have
is
not
just
local,
it's
National
and
in
some
aspects
Global,
but
for
many
things
that
we
have
done.
We
have
inspired
of
everything.
We've
inspired
multiple
communities
throughout
the
United
States
to
establish
our
own
show
front
type
organization
following
our
model
of
how
to
engage
community
members,
as
as
it
grows,
I've
been
invited
to
speak
on
various
platforms,
about
the
importance
of
Community,
Based
archives
and
the
importance
of
independently
ran
community-based
archives,
the
benefit
of
humidity
and
its
missions
and
any
initiatives
that
might
happen
throughout
its
history.
E
And
so
listen
for
some
of
our
partners
that
we've
dealt
with
I
do
have
to
give
a
special
shout
out
to
the
black
Metropolis
research
Consortium,
who,
since
2010,
has
been
an
invaluable
partner,
providing
us
some
training
and
interns
that
help
process
our
collection,
as
well
as
students
at
Dominican,
University,
Northwest
University
and
our
recent
Partnerships
with
the
national
museum
of
African,
American
history
and
culture,
which
I
believe
a
member
of
that
of
the
museum,
has
sent
a
letter
of
support.
They'll
be
included
in
the
minutes.
E
The
medical
board
that
to
you
later
with
that
I,
have
to
show
you
just
a
quick
three
minute:
video
new
promo
video
that
we
have
just
launched
recently
in
this
plane
next
year.
E
I
was
involved
in
one
historical
organization
in
the
North,
Shore
and
I.
Remember
when
I
was
kind
of
sharing
with
them
the
important
of
the
history
of
the
black
communities.
The
person
said
there
is
nothing
of
intrinsic
value
that
the
black
community
has
produced
and
I
kind
of
sat
back
and
said.
That's
going
to
change.
K
L
K
E
E
So
I
want
to
be
clear
too,
that
I
wasn't
the
only
executive
director.
Actually
I
was
not
even
the
first
executive
director
of
the
shore
front.
Our
first
director
was
that,
because
maybe
who
was
executive
record
from
2004
to
2008
and
she
wrote
with
her
a
lot
of
programming,
especially
youth
programming,
that
she
introduced
to
short
wearing
Community,
called
The
Legacy
keepers
after
departure,
we
acquired
join
us
to
Russell,
who
became
our
second
second
executive
director,
who
served
for
almost
five
years,
and
she
really
set
the
tone
of
how
we
do
fundraising.
E
Grant
writing
instead
of
the
template
for
grant
writing
that
we
still
utilize
to
this
day,
and
both
these
numbers
are
still
active
from
a
distance.
You
know,
with
short
film
W
chest,
may
be
relocated,
Tucson,
Arizona
and
started
an
organization
called
the
Dunbar
Which
models.
After
what
a
short
fund
is
done
here
in
Evanston,
enjoying
Israel
so
has
moved
on
to
work
at
Northwest
University
today
and
for
tonight.
E
M
One
you
didn't
realize
it
was
going
to
be
a
short
front
evening.
Thank
you
for
having
me
I
am
honored
to
be
here
to
represent
Dino,
to
represent
shorefront
I
want
to
start
by
saying.
Dina
Robinson
is
a
hero
of
mine.
He
has
put
Equity
into
action.
He
saw
what
wasn't
right.
He
found
a
solution
and
he
hasn't
stopped
working
on
it
and
it's
an
ongoing
issue
that
must
be
addressed.
M
Non-Stop
Dino
shows
us
that,
though
it
takes
a
village,
one
person
can
make
a
difference
and
change
the
landscape
of
a
city
and
of
a
country.
The
work
that
has
been
done
at
shorefront
has
radiated
throughout
the
country
informing,
educating
and
riding
wrongs.
M
M
I'd
like
to
say
in
closing
that
Dino's
not
just
a
hero,
he's
a
mentor
he's
a
Healer
and
shorefront
is
bringing
Equity
to
storytelling
and
it's
a
seminal
place
to
be
I,
know
that
evanstonians
like
to
be
in
the
lead
for
what's
right
and
good,
let's
stay
in
front
and
continue
to
offer
support
to
the
heart
of
black
history,
shorefront
Legacy
Center.
Thank
you.
A
On
your
new
role
and
we
all
look
forward
to
working
together
that
ends
my
public
announcements.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
city
manager's,
public
announcements.
P
Good
evening,
Mr
Mayor
members
of
city
council
city
clerk
I
have
two
brief
announcements.
First,
I
want
to
briefly
share
that
our
work
continues
on
the
employee
report,
highlighting
workplace
concerns
and
issues
we'll
share
a
road
map
later
this
week
outlining
steps
already
taken
and
our
efforts
in
the
coming
weeks
and
months
we'll
also
provide
a
public
web
page
showing
the
city's
progress
on
various
initiatives
and
projects.
I
appreciate
the
employee
group
for
offering
to
me
to
discuss
the
report
our
next
steps
and
how
we
move
forward
together.
Q
Good
evening,
members
of
the
council,
mayor
bis,
Deputy
cleric
shake
and
city
manager,
Stowe
I'm
pleased
to
introduce
our
new
publicity
Public
Services
bureau
chief
Noel
Rodriguez
Mr
Rodriguez
comes
here
from
the
village
of
Schaumburg,
where
he
was
field
superintendent.
Prior
to
that
he
spent
over
10
years
at
the
Illinois
Tollway
in
management.
As
his
new
role
here
in
responsibilities,
he
will
oversee
five
divisions:
the
recycling,
environmental
division,
the
Greenways
division,
forestry
traffic
as
long
as
as
well
as
streets,
and
he
will
also
be
managing
our
Sono
and
Ice
program.
So.
R
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
welcome
aboard
and
we're
very
excited
to
work
with
you.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
This
brings
us
to
public
comment
this
evening,
there's
around
30
people
seeking
to
give
public
comments,
so
everyone
will
be
given
a
minute
and
a
half
for
their
comments.
We
begin,
as
always,
with
those
who
signed
up
in
person
to
speak
in
person
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
those
who
signed
up
online.
So
the
first
speaker
is
Rebecca
luzetter,
who
will
be
followed
by
Denise
young
and
then
Timothy
Schoolmaster.
A
Right
all
right
in
that
case,
in
that
case,
we'll
go
on
with
Mr
Schoolmaster,
who
will
be
followed
by
Jack
mortell
and
then
Mary
and
Larry
Gavin.
I
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
you
this
evening
with
the
projected
passage
of
the
budget
with
some
possible
amendments,
you
have
an
opportunity
to
make
a
bit
of
history,
or
at
least
to
change
it
a
bit
one
of
the
required
line.
Items
of
this
budget
are
two
tax
levies
for
the
police
and
fire
Pension
funds
both
as
now
proposed,
are
insufficient
to
meet
our
needs
and,
more
importantly,
to
begin
to
pay
down
the
huge
pension
debt
of
50-year
succession
of
city
councils.
Has
it
allowed
to
accumulate
at
my
presentation
on
the
14th?
I
I
That
we
have
had
literally
drag
from
staff's
clashes
this
year.
You
fully
fund
your
imrf
employees
and
you
don't
quibble
with
contributions
to
Social
Security
Administration.
We
are
in
neither.
Why
have
you
perpetually
shortchanged
your
Public
Safety
professionals,
fire
police,
who
daily
put
themselves
In,
Harm's
Way
for
you,
so
that
you
will
not
have
to
time?
Explain
that
to
me,
if
you
think
you
can.
A
D
G
G
G
There's
no
other
way
to
stay
in
the
stem,
this
pension
tide,
lots
of
things
have
been
tried.
You
just
got
to
pay.
There
are
a
number
of
members
of
Evanston,
Police,
Department
and
Evanston
fire
department
here
this
evening.
I've
had
the
distinct
privilege
of
working
side
by
side
with
many
of
them,
I
never
experienced
any
of
them,
giving
anything
less
than
100
percent.
S
A
T
T
We
come
in
support
of
historian
and
storefront
founder
Morris
Robinson
Jr,
whom
nearly
everyone
in
the
community
knows
as
Dino
Evanston,
the
North,
Shore
and
Beyond
have
benefited
from
his
vision,
dedication
and
perseverance
by
interviewing
people,
Gathering
documents
collecting
photographs
and
artifacts.
He
preserved
the
history
that
others
had
allowed
to
be
forgotten.
T
His
careful
chronicling
of
black
history
on
the
North,
Shore
and
particularly
Evanston,
preserved
a
long
ignored
part
of
the
community.
He
presented
the
contributions
and
accomplishments
of
many
black
residents
with
the
distinction
and
dignity
they
deserve.
These
findings
also
shine
to
light
on
evanston's
history
of
racial
discrimination.
T
Further
Mr
Robinson's
generosity
in
sharing
the
information,
writings
and
photographs
he
gathered
has
enriched
us
all,
As
evanstonians.
On
a
more
personal
level,
the
Roundtable
has
benefited
from
nearly
two
decades
of
his
generosity.
He
wrote
stories
for
the
round
table
created
a
Did,
You
Know
series
on
black
history,
which
ran
for
a
few
years.
He
wrote
stories
on
black
history
for
some
of
our
history
magazines
and
shared
historic
photos
and
writings
from
shorefront
for
our
magazines,
our
newspaper
and
our
new
history
book.
A
U
Thank
you,
mayor
biss,
thanks
for
letting
me
speak,
my
name
is
Dave
Ellis
Seventh,
Ward
resident
City,
firefighter
paramedic
for
34
years,
I've
been
working
over
30
years
on
the
police,
fire
pension
funding
issue,
and
thank
you
for
seriously
addressing
our
pension
liabilities
and
some
solutions
to
address
this.
The
history,
the
city's
history
regarding
our
pensions,
has
been
not
good
by
previous
councils.
How
did
we
come
here?
Well,
I'll.
Just
give
you
one
example
that
I
was
involved
with
in
1993
and
1994.
U
The
city
passed
two
budget
years
with
a
zero
percent
tax
increase
zero
percentage
going
into
our
Pension
funds
and
they
use
the
proposed
contributions
to
our
pensions
to
fund
the
zero
percent
increase.
So
that's
two
years
times
zero.
You
can
do
the
math
when
you
introduce
zero
into
math.
That
compounds
I
talked
to
Eric
Anderson.
At
the
time
at
length.
He
was
a
city
manager,
then
and
told
them.
This
is
financially
irresponsible.
U
He
told
me
Dave
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
raise
the
sales
tax,
a
quarter
percent
and
we're
going
to
put
that
money
into
the
Pension
funds.
I
said
Mr
city
manager,
you
can
do
whatever
you
want,
but
that's
not
what
the
law
provides
for,
but
he
did
do
that
for
two
years,
then
the
money
went,
the
quarter
percent
tax
height
went
into
the
general
fund,
property
owners
have
always
paid
15.
U
Already
paid
over
50
million
dollars
in
compound
interest
and,
as
was
mentioned
earlier,
it
could
be
over
700
million
dollars,
we're
already
taxing
Property
Owners
to
fund
our
pensions
to
pay
a
second
tax
would
be
a
non-starter.
Thank
you
for
working
on
this
important
issue
and
for
supporting
100
funding.
We
have
the
money
to
do
this
already
and
thank
you
for
so
supporting
the
properties
owner's
best
interest
thanks.
A
V
Thank
you
all
for
hearing
my
comments
today.
My
name
is
Jeff
Cohen
I'm,
a
resident
of
Evanston
I'm.
Also,
a
financial
Economist
I
hold
degrees
in
political
science
in
finance
from
the
school.
That's
down
on
the
south
side
and
I've
worked
for
30
years
in
economic
Consulting.
I
just
want
to
make
three
quick
points
about
tax
relief
and
its
relationship
to
pension
funding.
V
First
and
some
others
have
said
this,
it's
really
important
to
understand
that
funding
the
pension
at
less
than
100
percent
is
introducing
a
kind
of
kind
of
a
compound
interest
problem.
V
V
Second
I
wanted
to
say
that
you
know
the
proposal
to
increase
a
new
tax,
whether
it's
half
the
funded
needed
two
million,
or
whether
it's
4.5
million
sounds
pretty
small
compared
to
a
400
million
dollar
budget.
But
taxes
have
a
way
of
sticking
around
long
past
their
useful
life
and
they're
hard
to
get
rid
of,
and
they
rarely
go
down.
So
I
think
if
there
is
any
surplus
at
all,
we
should
be
looking
to
draw
from.
V
V
Early
on
so
I
don't
want
to
suggest
that
I
know
where
we
should
be
making
Cuts
or
what
trade-offs
we
should
be
making,
but
I
think
that
it's
important
to
know.
You
know
that
I
think
a
tax
increase
is
sometimes
necessary,
but
I'm
having
trouble
seeing
how
that's
the
case
here
so
I
suggest
we
take
out
our
highlighters
and
our
red
pens
and
go
to
work
looking
for
Surplus.
Thank
you.
A
W
Thank
you,
Darlene
Cannon's,
second
ward.
We
want
the
police
and
fire
pensions
funded
at
a
hundred
percent
so
that
we
can
stop
the
financial
hemorrhaging.
W
W
We
should
be
showing
compassion
and
sensitivity
to
the
many
residents
that
will
be
facing
financial
hardship
in
the
upcoming
months,
also
going
forward
as
Guardians
of
the
budget.
You
have
an
obligation
to
do
better
at
ensuring
that
our
money
is
spent
wisely
and
also
as
a
reminder,
the
dollars
that
was
wasted
by
not
fully
funding
the
pension
could
have
helped
struggling
families,
pay,
rent
or
even
buy
food.
These
types
of
decisions
that
are
made
only
hurt
our
marginalized
residents.
Thank
you.
A
X
Good
evening,
mayor
Bess
and
city
council
members,
it
was
disappointing
to
see
that
a
personal
letter
to
all
of
you
from
the
chair
of
the
finance
and
budget
committee
received
so
much
traction.
Last
week,
several
community
members,
including
myself,
witnessed
the
vote
by
the
committee
unanimously
recommending
full
funding
of
the
police
and
fire
pension.
X
A
Y
X
Z
I've
had
the
opportunity
and
privilege
to
get
to
know
many
of
the
people
who
are
seated
here
to
this
evening.
You
are
dealing
with
professional
people
who
are
degreed
educated,
certified
in
paramedicine,
and
one
thing
I
really
want
to
focus
on.
Is
they
both
the
police
and
fire
serve
the
entire
community
in
Evanston?
They
do
not
serve
a
particular
segment
of
any
age
group
or
any
group.
They
serve
everyone.
Z
S
A
AA
Good
evening,
thanks
for
having
me
Dan
phillipitis
Ninth
Ward
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
pension
board,
President
Aaron
Dory,
to
read
a
statement
good
evening,
my
name
is
Captain.
Darren,
Doherty
and
I
speak
to
you
tonight
as
the
president
of
the
pension
board,
an
Evanston
resident
and
an
Evanston
taxpayer,
and
an
Evanston
firefighter
I've
served
on
the
pension
board
for
nearly
14
years
11
as
president.
AA
In
that
time,
we
have
cultivated
strong
relations
with
City
staff,
worked
hard
with
various
Mayors
and
city
managers
to
address
the
pension
liability
and
made
strides
together
with
the
city
council
to
make
progress
in
solving
this
issue,
we've
compromised
and
advocated
for
change.
We've
worked
together.
We
stand
at
another
Crossroads
and
I
use
the
I
use
we
intentionally,
because
this
is
a
problem
that
affects
all
of
us
residents,
staff,
elected
officials
and
Public
Safety
employees.
AA
What
we
can't
do
is
refuse
to
move
at
all
the
municipal
bully
itself.
The
lobbying
body
for
the
Illinois
Illinois
cities
believes
that
pprt
should
be
used
to
fund
the
pension
systems.
We
should
heed
their
advice.
The
console
did
not
cause
this
unfunded
liability.
We
cannot.
We
can
recognize
that,
but
through
the
trick
of
time,
this
council
is
in
the
position
to
act
with
courage
to
address
it.
This
Council
has
a
responsibility
to
address
it.
Thank
you.
A
AB
Good
evening,
once
again,
everyone
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
budget,
thinking
that
we
would
have
the
continuation
of
the
budget
hearing,
which
was
a
month
ago,
that
we
were
supposed
to
continue
that
we
never
did.
AB
My
focus
has
been
for
several
years,
public
comment
and
what
it
means
to
everybody,
and
how
do
we
take
public
comment
and
get
some
feedback
to
the
residents
for
whatever
they're
talking
about
and
instead
of
having
feedback
or
dialogue?
As
it
says,
the
definition
in
your
agenda
for
a
public
comment.
You
added
four
sentences
recently
that
says
that
anyone
can
be
banned
for
public
comment
for
disorderly
conduct.
So
does
that
mean
that
it's
more
important
than
rather
than
what
somebody
says
in?
AB
AB
Want
to
say
thank
you
to
jack
Martell
for
doing
all
the
research
on
the
police
and
fire
pension
fund.
Please
follow
Mr
mortel's
advice
and
funding
the
pensions
before
it
gets
further
out
of
hand.
We
need
your
definition
of
public
comment.
Why
would
you
like
to
accomplish
with
public
comment
or
public
hearing
and
and.
A
Y
Perfect
good
evening,
my
name
is
Cindy
Castro
and
I'm,
the
manager
of
the
outpatient,
Behavior
Health
Clinic
at
Ascension,
St
Francis,
but
I'm,
actually
here
today,
as
culture
of
the
mental
health
task
force
of
Evanston.
To
give
you
background,
the
task
force
is
composed
of
about
22,
Mental,
Health
and
Social
Services
agencies
that
serve
our
innocent
Community.
We
came
together
at
the
beginning
of
covet
under
mayor
hagerty's
guidance
to
be
a
part
of
the
incident
command
center
and
we
also
serve
as
a
working
group
under
the
non-profit
monthly
leaders
meeting.
Y
We
have
continued
to
work
together,
Way
Beyond
the
command
center
and
have
worked
on
various
initiatives.
With
that
said,
on
November
10th,
the
social
services
committee
voted
on
recommendations
to
address
gaps
in
Mental
Health
Services
top
of
the
list
is
a
for-profit
agency.
Let
me
repeat
that
again,
a
for-profit
agency
with
the
nonprofit
sector,
making
up
a
majority
of
the
services
provided
to
the
most
vulnerable
and
under
preserved
populations
and
many
of
our
partner
nonprofit
agencies
having
a
long
history
of
deep
investment
in
this
Community
for
lack
of
better
words.
Y
This
is
a
complete
punch
in
the
gut
the
day
after
the
meeting
we
received
emails
on
the
experience
and
just
reactions
to
that
meeting.
Shaming
and
disbelief
were
some
of
the
words
that
were
described
and
when
I
saw
a
video,
all
I
could
say
as
well
aside
from
recommending
a
for-profit.
Let's
look
at
the
process
that
the
committee
really
vote
that
night
when
clearly,
they
were
not
prepared
that
they
vote.
When
members
of
the
committee
stated,
they
had
not
reviewed
the
applications
and
felt
unequipped
to
even
offer
anything
to
the
discussion.
Y
Everyone's
time,
but
we
want
the
process
to
be
Equitable
for
all
of
the
agencies,
so
I'm
here
to
ask
you
to
table
this.
Please
do
not
vote
and
send
it
back
to
the
committee
to
do
a
more
thoughtful
process
of
much
needed
services
and
make
recommendations
based
on
a
more
elaborate
discussion
and
really
exploring
what
the
needs
in
the
community
are
and
how
those
needs
can
be
Mets.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration.
A
AC
Good
evening,
honorable,
everyone
from
the
second
ward
and
also
a
school
social
worker
in
District,
65
and
also
a
member
of
the
mental
health
task
force.
I
wanted
to
speak
tonight
to
offer
some
thoughts
that
I
had
about
the
social
services
committee
meeting
on
November
10th
I
watched
the
meeting,
not
as
someone
who
had
a
stake
in
the
decisions
as
either
an
applicant
for
funding
nor
a
referring
partner,
but
as
a
mental
health
practitioner
in
District
65.
Who
tries
to
be
aware
of
resources
that
are
available
for
referrals
for
students
and
families
in
Evanston.
AC
In
another
respect,
though,
as
a
member
of
the
mental
health
task
force,
who
has
been
aware
of
this
funding
process
as
it
is
developed
for
many
months,
I
felt
confused
watching
the
actual
decision-making
process
and
had
more
questions
than
answers
afterwards.
I
wondered
how
the
recommendations
were
made
by
staff,
as
it
wasn't
clear.
AC
If
there
was
a
point
system
or
different
factors
were
considered,
even
though
it
was
very
clear
that
a
lot
of
time
and
work
had
been
put
into
the
process
by
staff,
I
wondered
how
the
decisions
seemed
to
be
made
before
the
meeting
even
started.
As
the
three
agencies
recommended
by
staff
ended
up
being
three
agencies
funded
I
wondered
how
the
committee
chose
a
for-profit
therapy
agency
that
is
relatively
new
in
town
over
long-standing
non-profit
agencies
that
have
Decades
of
serving
evanston's
residents.
I.
AC
How
the
decision
was
made
in
the
meeting
by
the
committee
without
hearing
anything
from
the
referring
agencies
about
what
they
thought
of
the
applicants?
I
really
do
appreciate
the
work
that
the
volunteer
committee
does.
That
was
an
89-page
packet
and
a
three-hour
meeting
that
these
are
really
really
important
decisions
that
the
committee
is
making
and
they
need
to
be
made
with
the
utmost
care
and
thorough
preparation.
AD
AC
AC
AE
Thank
you,
mayor
bis,
members
of
council.
My
name
is
Jackson
Fowler,
a
lifelong
first
Werther
and
I'll
attempt
to
keep
my
comments
in
favor
of
fully
funding
the
pensions
by
using
the
surplus
funds.
Fairly
short,
it's
been
said
a
couple
times
tonight
how
fully
funding
the
police
and
fire
pensions
would
cost
approximately
four
and
a
half
million
this
year,
staying
at
a
pretty
steady
rate
for
future
years
and
it's
inside
numerous
times
how
not
fully
funding
the
pensions
up
to
this
point
has
been
costing
Evanston
taxpayers
greatly.
AE
Bully
funding
would
be
a
historic
First
Step
that
would
save
Evanston,
Evanston
taxpayers
and
I'm
fully
in
favor
of
that,
however,
like
others
have
said
again,
it's
you
know
reason
to
raise
taxes
to
do
this.
Evanston's
tax
dollars
have
already
created
a
surplus
of
well
I'm,
not
sure
the
exact
number
something
well
in
excess
of
four
and
a
half
million
dollars.
We
can
use
some
of
those
funds
to
make
the
necessary
payments
this
year
and
make
a
plan
and
a
backup
plan
to
keep
the
funding
going
for
future
years.
AE
A
AF
Well,
good
evening,
black
people
pack
your
bags
because
Evanston
is
not
for
you,
like
the
previous
speaker's
presentation.
You
are
history,
but
you
are
not
the
future.
What
has
the
city
done
for
you?
They
haven't
done
anything
for
me,
except
harassment.
The
mayor
called
me
a
year
ago,
December
2nd
and
said
he
would
get
back
to
me
regarding
require
acquiring
funds
for
my
lost
rent
and
damages
to
my
building.
AF
When
two
connections
for
the
homeless
clients
fired
shots
in
my
building
and
destroyed
their
Apartments
I
guess
to
the
mayor's
defense
he
didn't
say
which
year
he
would
call
me
back
black
people.
Have
you
seen
any
reparation
money?
It
looks
like
a
lot
of
showboating
hand,
waving
hand,
clapping,
ribbon,
cutting
and
congratulating,
but
no
results.
They
are
asking
for
another
2
million
tonight,
but
where
is
the
other
money?
No
money
should
be
given
out
until
one
it's
held
in
a
bank
in
an
interest-bearing
account.
Two
no
non-for-profit
should
be
handling
money
or
involved.
AF
S
AF
Notification
for
the
Fifth
Ward
school,
possibly
tearing
down
Fleetwood,
there's
a
meeting
next
week,
but
I
bet
you
they've
already
decided
what
they're
going
to
do.
There's
no
school
town
homes.
New
businesses
are
not
for
you.
Opera
money,
Tiff,
Money,
cdb,
G
money
has
the
city
given
any
black
people
any
of
this
big
money
from
these
funds.
They
have
for
white
people
besides
hecking
Arbor
money
and
Tiff
money
gone
all
to
white
people
Millions
at
a
time,
black
landlords
matter
stay
woke.
A
AG
Thank
you,
I
I
thought
the
issue
of
funding
bully
funding
the
police
and
fire
pensions
was
a
done
issue,
so
I
I'm
surprised,
there's
so
much
behind
the
scenes.
Discussion
about
it's
still
questionable.
It's
it's
just
so
simple
that
we
we
at
Evanston
student
city
council,
the
Evanston
government
in
general,
saves
money
by
fully
funding
the
pension.
So
that
should
be.
The
debate
should
end.
If
there
is
one
and
you
should
just
simply
fully
fund
the
pensions
tax
increases
are
not
necessary.
AG
I
understand
from
audits
there's
over
40
million
dollars
worth
of
surpluses
that
could
be
spent
in
part.
For
that
purpose,
there's
nothing!
My
second
point
is:
there's
nothing
new
that
I've
seen
in
any
of
the
attachments
regarding
climate
action.
This
Council
has
been
so
inconsistent
about
climate
action.
AG
Our
climate
action
plan
does
not
include
ever
all
of
Evanston,
and
it
only
includes
a
few
people,
businesses
and
a
few
public
buildings,
there's
thirty
thousand
households
that
could
and
should
benefit
in
the
same
way
as
as
everyone
else
when
it
comes
to
how
this
money
is
being
distributed.
For.
AG
AH
AG
Mary,
you
allowed
25
minutes
for
a
presentation
that
wasn't
scheduled
and
you've
cut
everybody
off
and
introduced
to
me
now
who
who
came
to
the
same
Podium
tried
to
do
the
same
public
comments.
Thank.
AI
Oh
and
thank
you
very
much
this
evening,
I
will
try
to
be
brief
as
possible.
Congratulations
to
Dino
and
all
the
work
that
he
has
done
for
categorizing
black
history
in
our
community
as
a
20
as
a
year-round
project
and
decades
to
come.
Congratulations
to
you,
Miss
Bell,
for
your
appointment
as
the
new
director.
It
is
in
great
hands
in
stewardship.
AI
The
reason
for
me
coming
to
council
this
evening
is
to
articulate
my
objection
for
ordinance
11022,
which
is
a
an
adjustment
request,
Amendment
in
general
offenses
for
the
police
department
to
adopt
regarding
the
city
code.
In
short,
this
allows
a
semi
truck
to
come
down.
Custer
turn
on
Oakton
and
go
up
from
there.
I
have
submitted
my
remarks
to
City
the
the
city
council
members
who
are
on
this
particular
ordinance
as
I
believe
co-sponsors
or
collaborators
I
have
also
sent
it.
My
comments
to
the
city
clerk
for
record.
AI
Basically,
this
is
a
hazard
that
does
not
have
to
happen,
and
this
is
becoming
a
city-wide
issue
as
to
what
to
do
with
these
semi
trucks
that
come
in
these.
This
very
dense,
predominantly
residential
area,
15.
S
AI
We
may
need
to
come
outside
of
the
box
and
think
of
other
ways
for
them
to
get
their
their
service
and
Wares
from
a
Depot
somewhere
else
that
has
accessibility
for
these
semi
trucks,
not
only
to
protect
the
truck
drivers,
but
also
to
protect
the
pedestrians
and
residents
throughout
the
community.
Thank
you.
Thank.

All
right,
thank
you,
mayor
this
city
manager
and
members

the
city
council.

We've
been
providing

in
the

for
35
years.
AJ
Impact
received
funding
from

through

when
that
process
was
changed
and
the
task
of
funding
agency
moved
to

waited
several
years
for
the
opportunity
to
reapply
for
city

as
an
organization
with
deep
roots
in
the

We
have
watched
our
community's
mental

increased

Hi,
thank
you
mayor
and
Consul
and
city
manager.
I
want
to
say,
congratulations
to
Mr
Robinson
you're,
not
only
a
true
Evanston
Treasurer,
but
you
have
made
Evanston
a
better
place
it.
AD
You
know
it
is
time
to
100
Finance
the
Pension
funds
and
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
years
and
years
and
years
and
I
think
we
would
never
not
fun
every
other
employee,
a
hundred
percent.
But
why
would
we
do
it
to
our
First
Responders?
It
makes
no
sense,
especially
since
we
have
the
16
million
dollars
reserved
or
16
Reserve,
that
we
keep
for
emergencies.
In
case
we
have
an
unexpected
expense,
but
then
we
also
have
surpluses
like
this
year.
AD
I
think
it's
well
over
14
million
dollars,
and
if
this
should
be
a
budget
item
it
shouldn't,
we
don't
need
to
raise
taxes.
What
we
need
to
do
is
sharpen
our
pencils,
spend
our
money
wisely
and
we
don't
need
so
many
consultants.
We
have
people
on
staff
horse
very
qualified
and
can
make
decisions
and
own
those
decisions,
but
please
listen
to
Mr
School
Master
Mr,
Mortel,
Mr
Ellis,
our
First
Responders.
Don't
always
are
there
for
us
and
I.
Think
we
can
stand
up
and
be
there
for
them
without
raising
our
taxes.
L
Today,
I'm
here
as
the
president
and
the
front
and
the
president
of
board
directors
of
shore
front
I'm
here
on
this
historic
day,
to
congratulations
to
Nino
Robinson,
who
happens
to
be
my
best
friend
and
colleague,
and
to
just
let
you
know,
of
the
work
and
just
to
reinforce
what
is
needed
from
the
city
of
Evanston.
Today
we
need
funding.
L
Basically,
we've
had
Maurice
Bell
on
here
as
the
next
director
of
shore
front,
but
we
need
funding
to
keep
to
make
sure
that
she
is
adequate
adequately
paid
and
taken
care
of
so
I'm,
not
sure
if
I
can
even
go
any
further
than
what's
been
said
today,
but
please
think
of
the
importance
of
sure
Frank
what
it
has
done
for
this
community,
when
you
think
of
funding,
show
fronts
moving
forward,
making
sure
from
a
regular
outline
item
on
the
city
budget.
That's
pretty
much
all
I
have
to
say.
AK
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
city
manager,
Stowe
members
of
city,
council,
Deputy
city
clerk,
Billy
Lynch,
president
iaf
local
742,
speak
very
briefly
on
a
referral
item
for
retropay
deferred
wages
to
Firefighters.
That
was
on
the
council's
consideration
back
in
September,
and
that
was
approved
unanimously.
AK
It's
been
70
days,
almost
two
and
a
half
months
since
that
was
approved,
and
it
has
not
been
executed
on.
This
is
not
a
subject
for
negotiation
or
for
proposals
and
counter
proposals.
This
is
a
referral
item
that
was
approved
of
by
the
city
and
its
Council,
and
it
needs
to
be
executed.
I'm
here
to
ask
this
Council
to
provide
us.
It
provide
its
explicit
intent
to
a
dispersed,
deferred
wages
to
Firefighters,
as
approved
back
in
September.
AK
AL
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
city
council,
City,
Court
city
manager.
I
would
like
to
support
the
police
and
fire
for
lots
of
good
reasons
in
terms
of
the
pension
fund
and
that
it
should
be
fully
funded.
I'm.
AL
Had
a
pension-
and
it
was
converted
into
some
a
401k
and
I-
think
pensions
are
the
best
thing
since
sliced
bread,
so
I
think
preserving.
It
is
also
preserving
the
connection
of
the
worker
to
the
people
who
appreciating
their
services
so
respecting
that
relationship
is
super
important
on
behalf
of
the
residents
here,
as
well
as
as
each
one
of
you
who
live
here
as
well
and
in
terms
of
surplus
funds.
I
repeat
several
speakers
here
about
the
importance
of
looking
how
we
spend
those
monies
in
terms
of
equity.
AL
AL
I
would
suggest
strongly
on
being
unified
and
prioritizing
doing
the
right
thing
and
doing
the
right
thing.
You
know
and
you're
good
and
so
and
I
used
to
work
in
Pharmacology
at
a
GI
research,
so
I
smile
when
I
say
that,
but
yes,
happiness
does
belong
to
the
gut
and
and
a
spiritual
aspect
of
that
as
well.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Bye.
A
C
A
Is
that
you,
council,
member
Reed,
moves
passage
of
ordinance,
909-0-22
council
member
hadakati's
seconds?
Is
there
any
discussion
council
member
Kelly
hold
on
one
second
I
gotta
reset
the
clock
over
here,
but
councilmember
Kelly
go
ahead.
O
So
I
have
shared
with
everybody,
a
an
amendment
to
self
and.
O
So
I'd
like
to
the
amendment,
is
to
fully
fund
the
police
and
fire
pensions
and
the
numbers
are
there,
taking
the
additional
the
additional
four
million
nine
hundred
four
4.494
million
from
the
Surplus
in
order
to
fund
it?
I
just
want
to
make
sure
everybody
has
that
amendment
I
emailed
it
out.
A
Council,
member
Kelly
moves
to
amend
Ordnance
99-0-22,
as
described
in
an
email
you've
all
received
I
think
the
critical
highlights
are
that
the
that
would
change
the
police
pension
payment
to
13
million
295
458
dollars,
no
sense
for
some
reason
and
the
fire
pension
totaled
to
11
793
978
dollars
so
again
that
memo
that
that
amendment
should
be
in
everyone's
inbox
as
a
about
an
hour
and
a
half
ago.
Is
there
a
second
second.
D
H
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
am
in
favor
of
of
catching
up,
starting
to
catch
up
to
where
we
should
be
on
our
pension
obligations
with
some
clarification
of
terminology.
When
we
say
funding
at
100
we're
not
automatically
in
one
Fell
Swoop
closing
the
Gap
we're
changing
the
curve.
Yeah
right
now
we're
on
a
curve
to
get
to
90
percent,
and
we
I
I
really
believe
we
need
to
be
on
a
curve
to
get
to
100
percent.
H
The
money
that
we
are
proposing
to
put
in
to
the
budget
for
next
year
gets
us
onto
that
curve.
Now
is
that
curve
going
to
change
as
the
math
changes
as
future
councils
contemplate
new
realities
and
take
into
account
new
inputs?
I
think
that
will
probably
be
the
case
and
then,
if
we
end
up
with
a
new
formula
at
some
point
down
the
line,
this
additional
4.49
million
dollars,
maybe
that
new
formula
would
have
it
at
5.2
million
or
maybe
the
no.
The
new
formula
would
have
it
at
2.7
million
I'm.
H
Not
so
hung
up
on
that
because
we
know
we
are
coming
from
behind
and
it's
time
for
us
to
start
catching
up
and
using
the
formula
we
have
at
our
disposal
now
is
the
best
we
can
do
at
this
time,
and
we
do
we
can
afford.
It
is
what
it
comes
down
to
we're
fortunate
to
end
the
2022
fiscal
year
with
the
forecast
surplus
of
14
million
dollars.
H
That
is
a
result
of
conservative
budgeting,
which
I
think
is
a
good
practice
and
something
we
should
continue
to
do
moving
forward
yeah,
but
that
14
million
dollar
Surplus
adds
to
an
existing
fund
balance.
That
puts
us
well
well,
above
our
16.6
percent
policy,
in
fact
we're
more
than
double
that
16.6
fund
balance
policy
at
the
end
of
this
year,
and
if
we
look
at
where
we're
at
for
the
end
of
next
year
before
taking
into
account
this,
this
proposal
we're
still
more
than
double
our
16.6
percent
fund
balance.
H
H
This
is
taking
advantage
of
a
situation
we
find
ourselves
in
this
year
and
we
may
not
ever
find
ourselves
in
this
position
again
if
we
are
going
to
be
serious
about
funding
our
pension
obligations
at
some
point
like
it
or
not,
that's
going
to
require
increasing
the
property
tax
levy,
we're
lucky
this
year
that
we
can
that
we
have
a
surplus,
a
pretty
significant
one
that
we
can
use
for
this
purpose
and
I
think
that's
the
right
thing
to
do,
but
we
can't
count
on
having
a
surplus
every
year.
H
That's
not
policy.
I
think
we
do
need
to
take
some
time
to
think
about
what
that
policy
should
be
reflecting
current
numbers
current
reality,
current
projections
and
input
from
the
actuaries
and
everybody
else.
We
have
some
time
to
do
that
next
year,
and
so
what
I'm
looking
forward
to
doing
next
year
is
fully
funding
the
pension
obligation
out
of
our
let's
say,
standard
budget
without
dipping
into
Surplus
or
dipping
into
reserves.
Even
though
we.
AM
H
H
Having
said
that,
if
we
find
ourselves
at
the
end
of
next
year
or
at
the
end
of
2026
or
the
end
of
2027
with
a
fairly
substantial
Surplus,
I
think
it's
entirely
appropriate
to
use
at
least
some
of
that
Surplus
to
make
an
additional
payment
on
our
pensions.
Much
like
you
might
make
an
additional
payment
on
your
mortgage.
H
If
your
Christmas
bonus
came
in
bigger
than
suspected
bigger
than
expected,
but
counting
on
Surplus
Revenue
to
fund
our
pension
obligations
is
not
good
policy
doing
it
this
year,
because
we
have
a
robust,
Surplus
I
think
it
is
very
good
policy
and
entirely
appropriate
thanks.
C
Yes,
well,
actually
thank
you,
councilmember
newsman,
I,
don't
feel
like
I
need
to
repeat
a
lot
of
what
you
said.
You
really
gave
a
thorough
overview
and
kind
of
a
guiding
star,
and
so
I
guess
what
I'll
just
add
for
the
the
public
is.
You
know
we
have
a
a
council.
C
That
is
has
a
diverse
point
of
view
on
a
lot
of
things,
but
this
is
an
issue
that
this
Council
came
together
on
understood
that
we
needed
to
change
the
trajectory
and
ensure
that
we
are
fully
funding
our
pensions
for
all
the
folks
who
put
their
quite
literally
their
lives
on
the
line
for
this
city
to
make
sure
that
it
operates,
and
so
I
hope.
This
is
something
this
Council
can
be
proud
of
of
itself
that
we're
coming
together
on
on
this,
and
we
have
a
huge
Surplus
this
year
and
I.
C
Don't
know
it's
better
to
get
that
out
working
for
the
community
and
get
it
out
taking
care
of
the
folks
who
have
taken
care
of
us,
and
you
know
keeping
it
in
a
big
brown
bag
with
a
thing
to
do
and
and
making
sure
that
we're
putting
that
money
to
work
and
so
I
so
I
have
nothing
else
to
say.
I.
Think
we're
ready
to
maybe
call
the
vote
on
this
and
I
think
we
have
pretty
Universal
support
for
this.
AH
Yeah
I
just
want
to
ask
staff.
Can
anybody
give
me
an
estimate
out
of
what
next
year's
property
tax
increase
is
going
to
need
to
be
to
keep
this
rolling.
AN
Good
evening
Mayors
the
city
council
I
mean
the
property
tax
increase
varies
from
Individual
to
individual
and
the
business
to
business.
But
overall
21
numbers
which
came
out
the
eav
has
gone
down
by
around
quarter
of
a
billion,
but
22
numbers
based
on
the
Assessor's
thing,
and
he
said
it
would
go
up
by
30
percent.
AN
So
I
don't
see
the
tax
bill
going
up
first
installment
because
it
would
be
based
on
the
last
year,
but
the
next
year,
second
installment,
which
would
be
based
on
22
assessment
that
could
be
higher
because
the
in
general
the
assessment
is
going
to
be
higher
by
30.
Now
again,
it
varies
from
resident
resident
business
to
business.
If
everyone
goes
up,
30
percent
generally
You
Don't
See
Much
increase,
it
depends
on.
The
only
thing
is
when
you
have
this
kind
of
inflation,
I'm.
AH
Question
is
how
much
additional
Revenue
are
we
going
to
have
to
raise
likely
through
property
taxes
next
year
to
keep
this
rolling
at
the
pace
that
Council
seems
to
contemplate
that
they
want
to.
AH
Yeah,
if
you're
talking
about
you,
know
this
year
we're
going
to
use
what
we're
calling
a
surplus
and
next
year,
there's
not
a
surplus
and
that's
going
to
have
to
come
from
somewhere,
most
likely
property
taxes.
Can
you
give
me
any
sense
of
what
type
of
property
tax
increase
we
are
setting
in
motion
for
next
year?
I.
AN
Mean
if
we
think
that
if
the
council
decides
to
fully
fund
the
100
cover
and
again
I
think
Council
remember
to
use
my
touch
on
that
number
could
change
next
year,
depending
on
the
market
and
all
other
things,
but
if
it
stays
four
and
a
half
million,
which
is
roughly
eight
percent
of
our
Levy
right
now.
So
it
would
be
a
eight
percent
increase
in
our
portion
of
the
tax
bill.
AH
All
right,
Mr
Desai,
thank
you,
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
for
your
answer.
O
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
again
that
this
has
been
escalating
so
we're
now
paying
our
resident
taxpayers
are
now
paying
probably
14
million
dollars
rather
than
seven
had
this
been
fully
funded.
So,
as
should
we
choose
not
to
fully
fund
it'll,
just
continue
to
increase
what
they
get,
let
what
gets
levied
against
our
our
residents
in
interest
and
fees.
So
this
is
Money
in
the
Bank
for
taxpayers.
O
It's
also
how
we
prioritize
our
spending
next
year,
so
I
think
it's
hard
to
say
how
much
will
we
raise
taxes?
I
understand
your
question:
if
it's
4.5
over
time,
this
is
obviously
going
to
decrease,
but
I
think
we
can't
really
say
at
this
point:
how
much
that
would
necessarily
increase
taxes.
I
think
it's!
O
C
Councilmember
Kelly
addressed
it.
You
know
this
one
isn't
necessarily
a
property
tax
increase,
so
I
don't
want
to
open
up
the
evidence
now
tomorrow
and
then
it's
the
Council
on
track
for
an
eight
percent
property
tax
increase,
that's
not
necessarily
the
case
and
and
really
as
council
member
Kelly.
You
know
really
Illustrated
there.
You
know
what
is
the
cost
if
we
don't
fund
the
pensions
fully
and
what
is
the
ballooning
cost
on
the
road
and
so
I
think
that's
the
guiding
star
to
to
keep
to
keep
us
focused
on
what
the
real
issue
is.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
and
just
as
a
point
of
clarification,
we're
not
voting
on
a
property
tax
increase
tonight.
I'm
merely
suggesting
that
at
some
point
increasing
the
levy
is
likely
going
to
be
inevitable
if
we
want
to
continue
fully
funding
our
pensions,
but
that's
not
on
the
table
for
tonight.
It's
a
discussion
for
next
year
and
it
involves
a
lot
more
input
thanks.
A
Seeing
no
further
discussion
with
the
clerk,
please
take
the
role
on
Council
mem.
Sorry
Council
ever
suffered
in
with
four
minutes
and
25
seconds
left.
AH
A
Seeing
no
further
discussion
will
the
clerk
please
take
the
role
on
council
member
Kelly's
motion
to
amend
ordinance,
99-0-22.
A
Now
the
ordinance
has
to
pass,
though
so,
just
don't
don't
jinx
it
guys.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
seeing
none
will
the
clerk
please
take
the
role
on
the
amended
99-0-22.
AO
A
With
eight
voting
in
favor
and
one
voting
against
the
motion
passes,
this
is
for
introduction,
so
ordinance
99-0-22
as
amended,
is
introduced
and
will
be
on
the
agenda
for
Action
at
our
December
12th
regular
meeting.
A
We
now
have
a
number
of
special
orders
of
business.
Sps
two
through
eight
that
are
kind
of
joined
together.
I
would
entertain
a
motion
on
all
those
at
once.
If
someone
is
so
inclined.
A
A
Eight
voting
in
favor
and
one
voting
against
the
motion
carries
and
all
of
the
aforementioned
ordinances
have
now
been
introduced
and
again
each
of
them
will
appear
on
the
December
12th
agenda
for
our
regular
council
meeting
for
action.
This
now
brings
us
to
item.
Oh
sp9,
councilmember
read
required
to
make
a
motion.
C
Yeah
I
move
a
DOT
well
I
would
actually
like
to
I'd
like
to
move
suspension
of
the
rules
on
this.
Only
because,
if
you
know
you've
read
the
memo,
you've
seen
the
police
department's
on
board
with
this.
This
is
something
we've
considered
previously.
The
police
department
has
changed
their
opinion.
I
think
we
can
save
a
few
moments
at
our
next
council
meeting,
but
just
kind
of
getting
rid
of
the
saw
move,
suspension
of
the
rules.
A
A
D
A
C
Yes,
I'll
move
item,
sp9
ordinance,
110022
amending
Title,
IX,
chapter
5
of
the
city
code;
Evanston
Police,
Department
response.
A
C
Yeah
I
I
want
to
remind
us
of
what
this
is.
This
is
you
know
the
mere
possession
of
a
closed
canister
of
you
know,
either
cannabis
or
or
alcohol
in
the
non-passenger
portion
of
a
vehicle
at
the
national
level
or
a
president
has
recently
pardoned
all
folks
for
mere
possession
charges.
C
We
are,
you
know
we
have
a
reparations
program
that
is
funded
through
cannabis
and
to
require
you
know
to
have
along
the
books
that
arrest
people
for
merely
possessing
cannabis
in
a
public
either
building
or
area
just
seems
to
not
comport
with
our
values.
So
I'm
certainly
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
N
N
The
second
one
deals
with
possession
in
a
public
place,
and
so
one
one
part
one
subsection
one
would
allow
open,
contain
open
containers
in
these
public
spaces
and
our
Police
Department
believes
this
would
create
quality
of
life
issues
and
they
they
do
not
support
the
change
to
subsection
one
they're
fine,
with
the
change
to
subsection
two,
so
I
I'm
inclined
to
go
along
with
our
Police
Department.
A
C
I
I
apologize
if
I
mischaracterized,
my
reading
of
it,
was
slightly
different.
Maybe
the
chief
can
explain
but
I'm
you
know
again:
I'm
unsure
our
current
ordinance
says
that
if
I
were
to
have
a
you
know
a
canister
of
cannabis
that
I
purchased
from
the
dispensary
and
came
here
to
pay
my
water
bill
I
could
be
ticketed
or
arrested
for
having
that
cannabis
that
container
on
my
possession,
you
know
same
thing:
if
I
had
a
bottle
of
wine
and
it
had,
you
know,
been
Uncorked
and
then
quirked
again
and
I.
C
Have
it
on
my
person
to
come
here
to
pay.
You
know
a
parking
ticket
or
some
other.
You
know
fine
and
I
walked
here
with
it
from
wine.
Goddess
I
went
to
Wine
goddess
rode
my
bike
here
and
so
I'm
unclear
how
we're
concerned
about
quality
of
life
issues.
AP
C
A
Chief
Stewart,
your
testimony
is
super
important,
I
think,
and
we
can't
all
hear
you
because
you're
not
speaking
directly
to
the
mic.
If
you.
AP
C
AQ
C
AQ
Good
evening
everybody
I'm
Scott
safier
sergeant
of
the
Evans
Police
Department
Traffic
Unit
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
address
the
mayor
city
manager
and
the
council
with
regards
to
the
proposed
alterations
to
9510
B.
The
police
department
would
not
object
to
the
added
language
at
a
language
of
upon
any
public
right-of-way.
This
would,
in
fact-
and
we
are
in
agreement,
that
this
would
match
State
Statute
with
regards
to
the
possession
of
open
alcoholic
beverages
as
well
as
open
cannabis
products.
AQ
C
AQ
For
9510b
consumption
in
vehicles,
the
proposed
language
is
to
add,
at
the
end
of
that
ordinance,
the
language
upon
any
public
right-of-way,
adding
that
language
upon
any
public
right-of-way
would
match
the
current
state
statutes
regarding
transportation
of
open
alcoholic
beverages
as
well
as
transportation
of
adult
use.
Cannabis
products,
however
striking
the
language
on
or
have
on
his
or
her
person,
open
containers
or
in
any
part
of
any
motor
vehicle
does
in
fact
conflict
with
current
state
law.
AQ
There's
a
state
statute
regarding
open
alcoholic
beverages
and
the
transportation
of
those
on
the
public
way
that
is
citable
by
a
petty
offense
and
a
ticket.
There's
also
a
state
statute
in
the
criminal
code
regarding
the
transportation
of
open
containers
of
adult
use
cannabis
again
on
the
public
way,
not
on
private
property
and
that's
a
Class
A
misdemeanor,
which
is
an
arrestable
offense
point
of
information
there.
So.
AQ
State
law
regarding
adult
use
cannabis
states
that,
under
subsection
B
no
driver
may
possess
cannabis
within
any
area
of
any
motor
vehicle.
Upon
A
Highway
in
this
state,
except
in
a
secured,
sealed
or
resealable
order
proof
child
resistant
cannabis
container
that
is
inaccessible.
So
our
objection
is
the
fact
that
this
does
not
match
current
state
statute.
C
So
so,
but
in
this
case
this
actually
creates
an
a
ticketable
offense
where
no
custodial
arrest
would
occur,
because
if
this
same
person
had
that
cannabis
container
sealed
in
their
trunk,
our
ordinance
still
allows
you
to
give
them
a
ticket
where
a
state
law
you
wouldn't
arrest
them
or
do
anything
to
that
person.
They
wouldn't
be
violating
the
law
if
they
had
a
resealed
container
of
cannabis
or
a
resealed
container
of
they
went
to
Wine
Goddess
were
taking
part
in
a
wine
tasting
corked
the
bottle
put
in
their
trunk
under
our
ordinance.
AQ
Well,
we're
saying,
under
the
proposed
changes
by
adding
upon
only
any
public
right-of-way
that
does
make
it
legal
to
have
the
sealed
product
in
the
vehicle
upon
the
public
right-of-way.
If
you
have
that
product
open
accessible
in
the
motor
vehicle
that
conflicts
with
state
law
and
that's
where
we
would
not
be
in
agreement.
C
AR
It
does
not
supersede
oh
good
evening,
members
of
city
council,
mayor
State
manager,
Deputy
city
clerk,
Nicholas,
Cummings,
Corporation
Council.
It
doesn't
alter
in
any
way
state
law.
I
think
we're
we're
folks
may
be
missing
each
other
is
our
ordinance
specifically
talks
about
the
transportation
and
consumption,
and
one
of
the
edits
that
is
proposed
under
9
510
B
deals
with
consumption.
AR
I
certainly
agree
with
the
police
department
when
it
comes
to
the
transportation
and
I
want
to
also
just
point
out
that
we're
talking
about
in
the
part
B
that
it
specifically
is
talking
about
consuming
beverages
from.
C
Upon
the
right
away,
part
A
is
about
transport
and
in
part
A.
It
clearly
says
that
you
cannot
transport
any
alcoholic
beverage
or
cannabis
product
within
the
passenger
area
of
any
motor
vehicle,
except
in
the
original
container,
with
the
seal
unbroken
correct.
So
if
anything
that
still
gives
you
the
power
that
you're
seeking.
AQ
C
AR
AQ
Correct
under
state
law,
if
somebody
is
transporting
open
containers
of
alcohol
beverages
or
open
adult
use
cannabis
products
in
their
motor
vehicle
under
Section
B,
that
would
be
legal
for
us
to
stop
them.
So
we're
saying
once
again,
we
are
okay
with
the
addition
of
upon
any
public
right-of-way,
because
that
does
in
fact
then
coincide
with
State
statutes
for
the
two
statutes:
the
transportation
of
open
liquor,
as
well
as
the
possession
of
open
adult
use
cannabis.
But
I
would
stand
by
the
fact
that
we
would
object
to
the
stricken
language.
That's
in
the
proposal,
but.
AQ
Councilmember
Reed,
whether
you
have
it
on
your
person
or
are
transporting
it
they're,
really
one.
In
the
same.
By
striking
that
language,
it
would
still
be
enforceable
under
Section
A,
so
I'm
not
sure,
quite
frankly
how
one
would
not
affect
the
other
by
striking
that
language
there's
still
an
enforceable
measure.
AR
Under
a
if
I,
if
I
may,
just
briefly,
because
I
feel
like
everybody's
sort
of
saying
differently,
the
same
thing
I
think
what
councilmember
Reed's
objective
is,
at
least
in
this
request,
to
make
this
special
order.
Business
is
to
prohibit
people
from
consuming
both
alcohol
and
cannabis,
just
in
the
on
the
public
way,
regardless,
if
in
the
car,
on
a
bike
walking
down
the
street
etc.
AR
Those
are
those
are
the
quality
of
life
concerns
that
I
believe
were
raised
previously
open
consumption
of
these
substances
is
the
is
typically
what
they
call
Quality
of
Life
issues,
but
it
still
prohibits
the
transportation
in
a
motor
vehicle
on
the
public
way
you
just
can't
consume
it.
So
I
think
that's
the
the
the
distinction,
the
way
that
the
ordinance
is
drafted.
It
certainly
can
be
amended
to
be
to
say
something
different,
but
as
it
as
it's
the
way
it's
drafted
right
now,
it
distinguishes
between
carrying
and
consumption.
C
I'm
happy
to
have
this
mirror
state
law.
In
fact,
state
law
is,
is
looser
because
right
under
state
law,
if
someone
put
that
open
container
in
a
place
that
is
not
accessible,
they'd
be
perfectly
fine
to
drive
and
under
our
law
it's
actually
stricter,
so
I'm
happy.
If
the
police
department
wants
to
Thursday
law,
then
I'm
happy
to
make
an
amendment
to
have
this
mirror
state
law,
because
that's
what
I'm
hearing
from
you
all.
AQ
You
know,
and
speaking
to
the
chief,
we
do
want
to
ensure
that
we
maintain
our
ability
to
have
an
alternative,
to
arrest,
to
make
sure
that
we
can
cite,
where
applicable,
as
opposed
to
make
an
arrest
if
they're
as
Corporation
Council,
is
discussing
the
ability
to
speak
to
the
language
and
ensure
that
it
is
not
so
ambiguous
as
to
be
confusing
and
cause
potential
issues
to
our
officers
in
conducting
that
enforcement.
Then
that's
something
that
we
should
seek
to
do
before.
Moving
forward
with
this
ordinance.
C
So
then
I'm
happy
to
send
it
into
writing
that
we're
instructing
the
Law
Department
to
make
an
amendment
to
sections
both
A
and
B
to
mirror
state
law
which
I'm
actually
perfectly
fine
with
it.
It
actually
gives
more
leeway
so
I'm
going
to
type
that
and
send
it
to
the
mayor
I'm
saying
a
confused
face
so.
AQ
A
If
I
could
just
I
mean
it
seems,
like,
we've
had
a
two
different
representations
from
this
diet
about
whether
or
not
the
police
department
was.
Was
this
one
queer
one
now
comfortable,
and
that
turns
out
that
there
was
some
real
confusion
on
the
part
of
the
person
initiated.
This
I
would
I'm.
Obviously
I
don't
have
a
vote
up
here.
I
guess
that
most
people
don't
want
to
vote
until
there's
Clarity
on
exactly
what's
being
voted
on
and
be
what
exactly
the
police
department
position
is.
A
C
I
appreciate
that
I.
Don't
think
that
and
and
again
I'm
here
we're
hearing
exactly
what
the
police
department
is
asking
for.
I
the
sponsor
of
this
I'm
saying
I'm
perfectly
fine
with
having
our
language
here
in
A
and
B
mirror
state
law.
I
would
like
us
to
vote
to
amend
that
to
do
exactly
what
the
police
department
is
asking
On,
A
and
B
to
still
have
the
option
to
defer
an
arrest
with
with
those
sections
and
so
I.
AP
Think,
especially
I
like
time
I
mean
I
had
less
than
a
week
on
a
holiday
to
work
on
this.
Well,
the
sergeant
so
I
would
like
time
to
go
over
it
respectfully,
I.
C
Appreciate
that
I
will
say
this
special
order
of
business
was
made
over
a
month
ago
to
provide
that
time.
C
AR
I
was
just
going
to
in
the
interest
of
trying
to
resolve
this
I
think
you
know
if
the
direction
is
for
the
Law
Department
to
amend,
9510a
and
B
to
mirror
the
Illinois
vehicle
code.
When
it
comes
to
this
I
feel
like
it
probably
needs
to
be
seen
in
writing,
and
it
might
be
prudent
for
us
to
wait
until
December
12th.
C
Great
I
would
like
to
make
those
amendments
I
I'd
love
to
hear
what
your
C
issues
are.
AP
I
would
like
to
get
back
to
you
on
the
12th
I
I
I
honestly
started
looking
at
this
last
week
before
the
holidays.
I
I
fully
had
to
have
him
come
in,
we've
been
working
on
it.
We're
not
ready.
At
this
point.
AP
C
D
A
AQ
You
prefer
I'll
simply
address
under
C1,
striking
the
language
or
have
on
his
or
her
person
or
about
personal
property,
open
containers
by
striking
that
language
we're
apparently
unless
there's
something
that
can
be
clarified,
saying
that
you
cannot
consume
alcoholic
beverage
or
cannabis
products
in
public
buildings,
Parks,
beaches,
highways
streets,
alleys,
sidewalks,
Parkways
and
public
parking
lots,
but
the
stricken
language
would
allow
for
the
possession
of
open
containers
of
those
products.
It
would
be.
AQ
The
police
departments
believe
that
that
is
a
quality
of
life
issue
by
simply
saying
that
unless
we
see
you
consuming
it
that
there's
no
enforcement
that
can
be
taken
clearly,
if
a
police
officer
is
present,
someone
who
is
going
to
have
an
open
container
of
alcohol
beverages
or
an
open
cannabis
product
is
not
likely
to
consume
it
in
one
of
those
public
places.
We
have
no
issue
with
the
stricken
language
in
number
two,
because
it's
not
not
mentioning
open
containers
of
those
products.
AQ
C
D
C
Federally
pardoned
everyone
for
mere
possession.
What
we
are
saying
is
that
mere
possession
of
these
substances
in
public
should
not
be
a
crime.
If
someone
has
a
joint
that
they
rolled
and
they
put
it
in
a
little
container
and
they're
walking,
you
know
to
the
park
or
they're
walking.
You
know
somewhere.
You
know
back
home
from
coming
here
to
pay
a
water
bill.
They
should
not
be
in
fear
of
being
ticketed
or
arrested
in
our
city
for
mere
possession,
and
that's
why
we
put
this
on
the
agenda.
Consumption
in
public
is
a
different
game.
AO
A
A
A
AS
C
AS
The
move
resolution
sptn
resolution
125
R22
directing
the
chief
finance
officer
to
transfer
2
million
from
the
general
funds
of
the
reparations
fund.
A
Second,
council
member
Burns
moves
passage
of
resolution,
125-r-22
council
member
Reed
seconds.
Is
there
any
discussion
council
member
Reed.
C
Yes
I,
so
this
is
this
is
a
special
order.
Businesses
Council
voted
to
place
on
the
agenda.
This
has
been
discussed
at
reparations
committee
with
various
levels
of
thoroughness
and,
and
you
know,
some
various
levels
of
support
and
and
caution.
C
So
this
is
a
resolution
that
would
transfer
2
million
from
our
general
fund
to
our
reparations
fund.
This
would
allow
the
reparations
fund
to
take
care
of
the
remaining
100
and
some
odd
ancestors
who
have
not
yet
received
funding
immediately
again.
These
are
folks
who
are
well
into
their
70s
because
of
the
criteria
to
be
ancestors,
we've
unfortunately
lost
a
a
number
of
these
ancestors
already
and
so
I.
C
You
know,
I
think
it's
prudent
that
this
Council
keep
up
with
this
Commitment.
If
you
know
I,
think,
there's
an
expectation
both
you
know,
maybe
from
this
body
and
from
the
community,
that
the
committee
that
this
Council
would
give
about
a
million
dollars
a
year
toward
reparations.
C
If
we
had
done
that
since
the
Inception
of
the
program,
you
know
this
is
about
the
dollar
amount
that
we
would
have
committed
to
up
until
this
point,
and
so
this
makes
us
whole
on
that
that
you
know
expectation
and
maybe
even
promise
that
the
community
held
there.
There
are
some
concerns
legally
around
this.
You
know.
Is
there
the
potential
for
increased
legal
risk?
C
You
know
maybe
yeah,
you
know.
How
big
is
that
risk
I?
Think
that's!
You
know
something
debatable
and
I
think
this
is
something
this
Council
should
take
a
firm
stand
on
and
and
make
this
transfer.
So
we
can
make
whole
those
ancestors
that
we've
made
a
promise
to
happy
to
discuss
this
further.
N
So
we
are,
we
have
already
approved
transferring
dedicating
a
million
dollars
from
our
real
estate
transfer
tax
for
properties
that
are
sell
for
more
than
one
and
a
half
million
we're
and
that's
going
to
be
added
to
the
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That's
already
in
the
budget
in
the
general
fund
for
the
reparations
fund.
So
for
2023,
the
the
reparations
program
has
1.4
million
dollars
to
distribute
to
grantees,
that's
roughly
for
40
grantees
plus
another
16
grantees.
It
sounds
like
quite
a
few
ancestors
to
help
work
through
the
process.
N
I
know
that
I
know,
we've
already
got
all
their
names
and
we
know
who
who's
next
in
line
to
receive
the
grants,
but
I
think
it
it
takes
a
while
for
each
one
to
be
fully
implemented.
N
So
it
seems
to
me
that
that's
probably
a
pretty
sizable
workload
for
the
reparations
program
for
2023
and
I
and
I
guess.
I
am
concerned
about
the
legal.
The
legal
concerns.
AS
AS
My
understanding
is,
you
could
walk
into
a
dispensary
purchase
something
and
you
would
have
the
same
standing,
and
so
my
thing
is:
if
people
are
going
to
test
this
program
they'll,
do
it
they'll
find
a
way
to
do
it,
and
today
is
more
about
our
own
commitment,
as
we
we
just
as
councilman
said
kind
of
got
on
a
better
term
to
fully
funding
our
pensions.
We're
not
on
a
good
curve
right
now
to
supporting
this
reparations
program,
especially
for
our
ancestors.
AS
The
2
million
here,
along
with
the
real
estate
transfer
tax,
would
allow
us
to
pretty
much
fully
fund.
The
the
the
ancestors
about
122.
I
want
to
remind
this
group
that
there's
a
400
descendants
behind
them
that
also
apply
for
this
program.
That's
10
million
dollars,
so
this
work
is
not
done
yet,
and
that's
that
that's
only
the
first
round
right.
There
are
many
people
who
did
not
apply
for
different
reasons
who
plan
to
apply
once
this
reopened.
AS
So
we're
not
done
yet-
and
this
is
a
small
step
that
we
can
take
to
make
sure
that
that
that
we
are
on
a
schedule.
That
makes
sense,
especially
for
our
ancestors.
C
I
just
wanted
to
respond
to
council
member
revell's
very
legitimate
concerns
about
capacity
and
about
you
know
we
have
contracted
out
with
in
the
past
sepa
to
to
manage
this
for
us,
and
so
there's
certainly
capacity.
That's
why
we
have
you
know
workshopped
this
out
to
a
non-profit
to
manage
this
and
you're
right.
C
It
does
take
some
time
to
get
through
the
process
and
for
the
senior
for
the
ancestor
to
you
know
fully
go
through
the
process
and
receive
the
funding,
and
that's
why
it's
important
that
we
have
the
funding
available,
so
we
can
start
moving
forward
with
folks
early
on,
for
example,
you
mentioned
the
400
000,
that's
set
aside
and
I,
don't
know
if
it's
400
I
think
we
previously
allocated
400
it's
in
the
budget
this
year,
400
as
well,
but
again
the
Cannabis
sales
tax
revenue
comes
in
on
a
monthly
okay,
okay,
it's
just
in
the
budget,
okay!
C
Well,
we
have
400
000
there.
What
what
I'll
remind
us
and
then
the
real
estate
transfer
tax
again
is
not
you
know,
there's
not
a
million
dollars
there
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
it
trickles
in
throughout
the
year.
This
would
put
the
money
in
and
to
cover
the
full
all
of
the
seniors.
That
would
be,
you
know
three
and
a
quarter
million
dollars.
So
you
know
this
this.
C
This
puts
us
on
track
to
make
sure
that
we're
meeting
that
obligation
that
folks
would
have
expected
is
it's
council,
member
Burns
noted
there
are
many
people
behind
that
are
that
are
that
are
looking
for
this
as
well
waiting
for
this
as
well.
Thank
you.
AR
I
just
wanted
to
respond
to
councilmember
burns
with
respect
to
analysis.
Regarding
this,
the
likelihood
of
the
success
on
any
sort
of
merits
of
any
claim,
it'd
be
really
irresponsible
of
my
office
to
to
try
and
say
you
know,
without
actually
having
a
complaint
or
any
sort
of
facts
or
evidence
to
base
it
on
to
say
what
whether
a
claim
would
be
likely
or
not.
AR
I
can
only
tell
you
that,
as
I've
explained
to
the
reparations
committee
that
once
we
take
money,
that
is
meant
for
the
greater
and
apply
it
to
the
few
and
the
basis
of
that
contains
an
element
of
a
suspect
class.
It
increases
the
chances
of
not
only
us
facing
litigation,
but
there
could
be
a
greater
likelihood
of
success
under
constitutional
analysis
alone
in
those
claims,
and
so
that
is
why
my
advice
has
always
been
conservative
on
this
issue.
AR
It
tends
to
be
conservative
of
most
issues,
but
specifically
on
this
issue,
because
it
is
so
important
to
our
community
that
the
program
actually
be
successful
and
rather
than
being
tied
up
potential
and
potential
litigation,
so
that
we
cannot
pay
anyone
it'd
be
better
to
pay.
A
few
at
a
time
so
that
without
any
sort
of
challenge.
C
Y
C
Appreciate
that
analysis
there
I
mean
I
do
think
you
know
there
are
some
things
potential
to
worry
about,
but
I
I
look
at
our
program
and
the
way
it's
designed
again,
as
was
stated
earlier,
you
know:
does
this
potentially
widen
the
pool
of
people
who
could
have
standing?
If
that's
a
concern
folks
have
yes,
but
does
anyone
who
has
the
intention
who's?
An
Evanston
resident?
Has
the
intention
of
trying
to
foil
this
program.
You
know
the
same
pool
that
we're
Whiting.
C
This
dude
could
still
just
go
to
a
dispensary
purchase
cannabis
become
someone
who
you
know,
files
litigation.
The
point
is
that
if
someone
wants
to
do
this,
they
can
find
a
way
to
do
this
and
I
think
we
need
to
put
those
ancestors
ahead
again.
They're
folks,
who
are
passing
away.
These
folks
are
70
plus
years
old,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
are
getting
and
getting
the
resources
that
they
are
long
overdue.
C
While
they
are
still
here-
and
we
can
make
this
investment
and
make
the
transfer
to
the
the
organizations
and
and
do
right
by
those
seniors,
I
I
believe
in
Evanston
I
think
the
the
residents
of
Evanston
are
folks
who
have
shown
that
they
are
behind
this
program
and
those
who
are
malintentioned
will
be
male
intentioned.
AS
AR
There's
there
is
the
potential
any
sort
of
lawsuit
that
would
challenge
our
program
would
likely
include
in
some
sort
of
injunction
at
least
temporarily,
in
which
case
we
would
not
be
able
to
disperse
any
funds.
AR
This
has
actually
happened
in
another
jurisdiction
where
they
actually
try
to
use
cares
money
to
fund
a
reparations
program,
it's
a
little
different
because
it
was
federal
dollars,
but
nevertheless
there
was
an
injunction
placed
on
that
program,
and
so
they
weren't
able
to
use
any
money,
because
now
it's
tied
up
in
litigation
and
if
any
sort
of
temporary
injunction
was
granted,
it
would
be
left
in
place
until
we
could
have
a
trial
like
on
the
on
the
merits,
which
could
stretch
out
again
leaving
our
ancestors
sort
of
without
any
sort
of
relief.
AS
AS
AR
If
it
was
if
the
injunction
was
granted
by
a
court
pending
a
trial
on
the
merits,
it's
likely,
we
would
not
be
able
to
pay
any
money
in
the
program
and.
AS
That
could
occur
whether
they
have
standing
through
being
a
customer
at
a
dispensary
or
whether
or
not
they
have
whether
or
not
they
have
a
different
type
of
standing
that
we're
discussing
today.
The
injunction
is
something
that
a
tool
that
they
have
at
their
disposal
that
they
can
request
from
a
judge,
no
matter
what
correct
exactly
correct.
AS
H
AR
So
this
question
came
up
in
the
reparations
committee
previously,
and
the
advice
is
that
home
rule
taxes
generally
speaking
if
they
are
allocated
by
this
Council
during
this
process
during
the
budget
season.
That
would
include
cannabis.
H
Tax
and
include
real
estate
transfer
tax.
AR
So
there
is
no
home
rule
adult
use
cannabis
tax,
that's
man!
That's
the
state
that
levies
that
and
pays
it
to
the
municipalities,
but
this
the
city
does
charge
attacks
on
medical
marijuana.
Okay,
so
that
would
be
as
an
example,
a
a
home
rule
tax
that
this
Council,
if
it
said
we're
going
to
take
those
revenues
and
commit
it
to
this
fund,
would
would
be
advisable
similar
to
what
this
Council
has
done.
With
the
graduated
real
estate
transfer
tax,
that
is,
a
home
rule
tax.
AR
That's
starting
January
1.,
those
those
money
that
money
anything
over.
1.5
million
dollars
is
going
to
divert
be
diverted
to
the
reparations
fund,
and,
just
by
way
of
illustration,
there
could
be
a
commercial
real
estate
transfer
that
happens
in
December
closes
in
January
it's
over
1.5
million
dollars.
All
of
that
Revenue
up
to
a
million
dollars
would
go
to
the
reparations
fund,
and
so
yes,
it
could
very
well
have
a
million
dollars
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
year.
AR
We
don't
know,
but
it
may
not
trickle
in
it
may
be
all
at
once.
If
there's
a
commercial
building
that
changes
in.
H
A
With
the
minute
oh
councilmember
reads,
time
is
up,
but
you've
signed
you.
You
have
a
brief
comment.
You
wanted
to
add.
A
A
C
This
argument's
about
cleaner-
and
you
know
all
of
these
other
things.
There
there's
some
risk.
It
was
a
bold
move
in
the
first
place
for
this
Council
to
say
we're
going
to
do
reparations
based
on
race
period.
That
was
gold.
That
was
something
that
put
the
city
at
you
know.
If
we're
talking
about
legal
risk,
that
was
the
greatest
legal
risk
that
there
was.
This
is
just
making
true
on
that
promise.
We
accepted
that
risk
when
we
said
we
are
going
to
do
reparations,
that's
what
we
said.
C
We
were
willing
to
stand
up
and
fight
for,
and
so
now,
when
it
comes
time
to
actually
back
up
that
claim
and
to
actually
say
that,
yes,
we
are
going
to
fund
this.
We
understood
the
risks
three
years
ago
or
in
2019,
when
this
passed
and
so
to
close
out
here,
I
see
I'm
getting
Oscars
pulled
off
the
stage
to
close
out
here
I.
You
know
we
should
make
true
on
this.
C
If,
if
we
I
I
I
think
we
should
be
ready,
you
know
I
think
that
Representatives
here
of
the
reparations
committee,
I
won't
speak
for
Chrissy,
but
are
are
supportive
of
making
sure
that
our
seniors,
our
ancestors
get
the
funding
I
hope
the
rest
of
this
Council
move
forward.
If
we
need
a
little
bit
more
time,
you
know
we
need
a
little
bit
more
time,
but
I
think
we
should
be
able
to
move
forward
with
this
today.
C
AS
Yeah
I'd
like
to
hold
I,
have
some
questions
for
Council
Cummins
that
I'd
like
to
answer
them
between
meetings.
I'd
like
to
motion
for
a
hold.
It's.
AS
Can
be
tabled
until
when
next
meeting
is
fine.
What
is
that
the
12th
December
12th.
A
D
A
C
A
N
Y
A
A
To
vote
on
the
consent
agenda,
all
right
in
that
case,
with
nine
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against
the
motion,
carries
and
the
consent
agenda,
with
the
exception
of
items
a485,
R1,
R2
and
S1
passes.
This
brings
us
then,
to
item
A4
council
member
Kelly.
Would
you
care
to
make
a
motion
on
this
item.
C
A
A
H
You
Mr
Mayor,
we've
covered
this
at
some
length
at
ampw,
but
for
a
brief
recap:
we
have
a
situation
involving
imminent
and
actual
damage
to
property
and
potential
damage
to
life
and
limb
when
trucks
inbound
making
deliveries
to
Evanston
Lumber
because
they
have
trouble
making
the
corner
making
the
turn
at
the
corner
of
Maine
and
Custer
Street
yeah.
It's
an
acute
angle
and
trucks
often
have
difficulty
making
that
turn
we've
knocked
over
signs.
They
damaged
the
concrete
abutment
to
the
bridge.
H
Sometimes
they
actually
turn
right,
southbound
onto
Custer
and
back
up
blindly
through
Main
Street,
so
not
at
all
a
safe
situation
and
we've
discussed
I've
discussed
this
with
staff.
You
know
what
are
what
the
other
options
might
be
and
there's
there's
no
really
good
option.
The
best
that
we
can
come
up
with
is
to
Route
the
trucks
coming
to
Evanston
Lumber
down
Oakton
Street
and
have
them
turn
Northbound
onto
Custer
at
Oakton,
because
that
corner
is
a
much
easier
corner
to
navigate.
H
In
fact,
they
are
allowed
to
make
that
to
pursue
that
route
down
Oakton
and
north
on
Custer
under
current
city
code.
There,
even
though
Oakton
is
not
a
truck
route,
trucks
are
allowed
to
deviate
from
posted
truck
routes.
If
there
are
I
will
quote
here,
operational
constraints,
Vehicles
may
use
the
non-truck
routes
when
physical
characteristics
of
the
Street
intersection
or
Viaduct
cause
operational
or
safety
problems
to
reach
the
Final
Destination.
So
that's
clearly
the
case
here.
I
I
shared
a
couple
videos
at
ampw
a
couple
weeks
ago.
H
If
we
have
time
to
share
them
now,
I
sent
the
links
to
Anderson,
but
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
prevent
further
property
damage
and
you
know
prevent
somebody
from
getting
seriously
hurt
or
killed
at
that
intersection.
Yeah
I
understand
that
moving
the
trucks
to
Oakton
is
not
a
great
solution.
H
It's
there
are
no
really
good
Solutions
here,
but
moving
them
to
Oakton
is
is
the
least
bad
of
the
possible
solutions
we
do
have
schools
on
Main
Street
as
well
as
Oakton,
so
that
you
know
argument
is,
is
kind
of
you
know
six
one
half
dozen
of
another
and
the
reason
we
are
at
this
point
is
because
we
don't
want
to
do
we
meaning
staff
didn't
want
to
move
forward.
Without
you
know,
the
buy-in
of
all
the
affected
council
members
and
councilmember
can
speak
for
himself.
H
His
residence
in
Oakton
are
objecting
for
very
valid
reasons.
Council,
member
Eric,
Harris
and
I
were
unable
to
come
to
an
agreement
between
the
two
of
us.
Even
when
we
ask
the
mayor
to
kind
of
mediate,
our
our
conflict,
we
were
unable
to
make
progress
and
you
know
decided
among
the
three
of
us
to
bring
it
to
council
and
and
and
and
vote
on
it
here
again.
I
want
to
be
clear
that
we
are
not
voting
to
change
code.
H
We
are
only
voting
to
authorize
the
Traffic
Engineers
to
send
a
memo
to
the
Evanston
Police
Department
traffic
enforcement
unit,
that
this
is
going
to
happen
and
please
don't
give
tickets
to
trucks
coming
down
Oakton
as
long
as
they're
coming
as
long
as
they're
going
to
Evanston
Lumber
they're
already
allowed
to
do
that.
We
don't
need
this
memo
to
allow
them
to
do
that.
H
We
do
need
this
memo
to
allow
them
not
to
get
pulled
over
and
to
receive
a
ticket
for
which
they
would
which
would
eventually
get
thrown
out,
because
they
do
have
a
legitimate
reason
to
be.
There.
H
In
the
interest
of
time
I'll,
just
there
are
four
or
five
videos
there
329
a
453.
R
J
H
It's
the
Google
link
ending
in
uu8
that'll
work.
Yes,
so
this
is
a
truck
that
has
turned
right
and
is
facing
southbound
down
Custer,
but
now
backing
up
blindly
through
the
intersection
of
Main
Street,
thanks
to
Eric
and
La
principal
for
taking
this
video
watch
right
now,
boom
there's
a
car
that,
fortunately
did
not
get
hit.
A
AT
So
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
this
a
little
bit
so
I've
shared
some
of
these
numbers
with
most
of
y'all
I
think
you
know,
there's
no
good
place
for
these
trucks
to
be.
But
when
you
look
at
the
Oakton
versus
Maine
Oakton
next
summer
is
going
to
have
a
major
construction
project
to
kind
of
try
to
remedy
some
of
these
traffic
issues.
It's
long
overdue
when
they
looked
at
the
traffic
study.
AT
If
you
look
at
the
numbers
for
Oakton
from
Asbury
to
Chicago,
the
traffic
numbers
are
12.
700
cars,
whereas
Maine
is
from
bridge
to
Chicago,
is
only
nine
thousand
I
think
this
is
the
added
impact
of
the
semis
will
be
felt
much
more
on
Oakton
than
it
currently
is
on
Maine
speaking
a
little
bit
to
the
school
situation.
AT
They're
true,
there
are
two
schools
on
Maine
enrollment
in
those
two
schools
is
583
students,
Dawes
oaked,
in
a
shoot,
there's
1300
students
who
are
currently
enrolled
there,
for
me,
is
it's
The.
Pedestrian
safety
versus
potential
property
damage-
I,
don't
know,
is
as
bad
this
as
the
situation
is
with
that
truck
going
in
reverse
it's
it's
not
going
to
affect
a
pedestrian
I.
Think
the
added
traffic
to
Oakton
pass.
Those
schools
during,
what's
already
of
which
people
in
the
8th
and
9th
Ward
know,
is
a
really
crowded.
AT
Throughway
is
going
to
be
super
impactful,
not
to
mention
you
know,
James
Park
in
the
summer
I
think
we
probably
need
a
a
more
overall
strategy
for
all
streets
and
all
deliveries.
I
think
we
should
start
working
on,
but
I
am
super
super
uncomfortable
with
giving
this
resolution,
which
in
effect,
makes
Oakton
a
truck
route,
because
once
the
business
has
the
information
that
there
won't
be
any
enforcement
they're
going
to
send
all
their
trucks,
not
just
the
big
ones.
AT
This
could
be
all
the
ones
that
show
up,
because
it's
easy-
and
you
know
it's
been
there
for
30
years
and
they've-
been
managing
to
make
that
turn-
maybe
not
all
the
time,
but
you
know
for
the
one-offs
where
they
have
issues
I
think
you're
going
to
have
30
trucks
going
down
Oakton
all
week.
So
that's
that's
my
two
cents.
C
Thank
you,
mayor
biss,
so
we
take
a
quick
step
back.
This
started
off
with
just
wanting
to
go
down:
Custer,
eighth
Waters,
we're
not
happy
about
this
being
making
Custer
truck
route
and
just
going
straight
from
Howard
to
Custer
the
eighth
Ward,
and
you
know,
because
our
artificial
boundaries
are
just
that
artificial
boundaries
and
I
presume
the
ninth
ward
as
well.
Have
some
of
the
highest
I
have
the
highest
rates
of
pollution?
C
You
know
in
the
city
and
so
there's
environmental
concern
that
we'd
put
even
more
of
that
burden
on
the
south
end
of
town.
You
know
I,
I,
I'm,
sorry,
I
know.
We
talked
about
this
a
lot
councilman,
Newsome
I,
don't
remember
where
we
landed
a
few
weeks
ago
and
so
I
hope
I'm
not
going
back
on
what
I've
said
to
you
previously,
but
either
way
I
think
it's
not
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
this
doesn't
really
change
anything.
It's
already.
The
law
trucks
are
already
allowed
to.
C
You
know
use
this.
You
know
0.5
of
a
mile
if
they
are,
if
for
the
reasons,
councilman
stated,
which
is,
if
there's
a
hazard
or
other
concerns
our
code
allows
for
that,
and
what
I
really
think
is
that
Council
that
we
should
vote
this
down
today
and
you
know,
have
folks
enforce
the
law
as
it
is,
and
if
council
member,
headed
catas
and
I
are,
you
know,
concerned
about
this
from
a
South
End
standpoint
that
we
actually
change
our
ordinance,
because
we
don't
want
these.
C
If
we
don't
want
these
trucks
going
down
Oakton,
then
we
should
change
the
law
to
make
sure
that
these
trucks
can't
go
down
Oakton
or
that
we
find
some
other
solution
here
earlier.
It
was
discussed
the
potential
of
a
you
know,
city-wide
Logistics
study.
Maybe
that's
something
we
need
to
engage
in
to
understand.
You
know
what
do
we
want
the
City
of
Evanston
to
look
like
in
this
Century?
Do
we
want
semi
trucks?
C
C
You
know
what
we
can
do
to
encourage
that
and
so
I
I
urge
that
we
vote
no
and
that
we,
you
know,
maintain
somewhat
of
the
status
quo
or
maybe
a
new
status
quo
that
was
already
allowed
under
the
law
and
that
you
know
those
of
us
on
the
south
end
and
hopefully
throughout
the
city
who
are
concerned
about
pollution
and
and
traffic
safety
and
all
of
the
other
concerns
in
the
area
that
we
come
together
and
we
actually
figure
out
a
longer
term
solution.
Thank
you.
AS
Yeah
I'm,
probably
gonna
vote
no,
just
because
I
feel
like
a
vote.
Voting
no
is
voting
yes,
because
it's
already
allowed
and
I
understand
why?
It's
here,
because
there
was
some
disagreement
and
you
know
it
was
probably
thought
that
by
having
Council
taken
some
action,
that
would
that
would
help.
You
know
all
involved
and
would
indicate
something
to
the
community,
but
I
think
it
actually
will
confuse
things
because
I
think
our
law
enforce
Enforcement.
AS
AS
So,
as
you
said,
people
can
already
do
this
I
think
we
should
just
you
know
if
anything,
if
we
want
to
train
the
police
department
on
how
to
determine
whether
or
not
someone
is
using
it
within
code
using
it
for
the
half
mile
or
working
with
the
our
city
manager,
to
figure
out
how
we
can
achieve
that,
but
I
think
it's
difficult
to
do
like
how
do
you
know
somebody
is
using
the
half
a
mile
or
not
without
as.
H
AS
H
If
there
are
other
trucks,
I
mean
they're,
not
gonna,
they're,
not
going
to
know
they're
not
going
to
right,
but
the
idea
here
is
that
Evanston
Lumber
would
inform
their
suppliers.
H
You
know
to
request
that
their
drivers
use
this
route,
which
would
mean
a
maximum
of
30
trucks
a
week.
Inevitably
not
every
driver
is
going
to
get
the
message
so
in
reality,
it's
going
to
be
something
less
than
30
trucks
a
week
and
we're
not
proposing
we're
explicitly
not
proposing
changing
the
the
truck
route.
If
you
know
one
of
the
ideas
initially
on
the
table
was:
let's
make
Oakton
a
truck
route,
we're
not
proposing
that.
H
Guess
that's
a
question
for
the
city
manager
this
and
this
started
under
under
our
current
city
managers,
predecessor
and
and
what
we're
being
asked
to
vote
on
is
a
staff
memo.
So.
AS
AR
So
my
understanding
is
the
action
of
the
council.
That's
being
asked
here
today
is
really
to
give
direction
to
our
enforcement
agents.
The
police
department,
essentially
not
to
write
tickets
under
the
code,
and
so
what
I'm
looking
for
right
now
is
what
I
just
happen
to
realize
is
the
resolution
itself
is
missing
in
the
packet,
so
I
need
to
look,
look
at
that
and
see
what
the
language
actually
itself
says
and
what
provisions
of
the
code
we're
seeking
to
not
enforce.
AR
So
that's
my
understanding
what
the
council
action
is
asked
of
today.
That
direction
can
simply
be
given
to
the
city
manager,
who
was
tasked
with
enforcing
all
the
city's
code
to
say:
hey,
just,
don't
write
tickets
in
this.
AS
Area,
that's
what
concerns
me
is
that
I
think
what
concerns
me
is
that
either
way
there
are
some
trucks
who
are
traveling
down
this
part
of
Oakton
who
are
exercising
the
laugh
last
half
mile
and
I.
Don't
think
reasonably
that
our
law
enforcement
will
know
the
difference
between
any
of
them,
so
I,
just
I
I.
Don't
think
this
is
really
doing
anything
and
that's
why
I'm
gonna
vote,
oh
and
but
I
you
know
support
what
their
both
council
members
are
trying
to
achieve.
I.
Just
don't
think
this
really
does
much
of
anything.
AR
So
to
I
just
found
the
the
language
to
answer
councilman
Vern's
question
10-1-9-283
does
allow
vehicles
to
use
non-truck
routes
when
physical
characteristics
of
the
Street
intersection
or
Viaduct
cause
operational
or
safety
problems
to
reach
the
Final
Destination,
so
that
that
is
already
Allowed
by
city
code.
N
We
saw
the
video
I
I
saw
a
flagman
helping
helping
the
truck
back
up.
Is
that
correct
so
is,
is
that
is
that
standard
practice
that
somebody
would
I.
N
Right
yeah
I
mean
somebody
to
be
at
the
back
of
you
know
on
the
street.
Helping
the
truck
back
up
I
think
would
be
good
standard
practice.
I
don't
but.
AM
It's
a
nightmare,
Big
Brother
little
brother,
it's
unfortunate
because
I
see
the
potential
for
Danger
on
both
sides
of
the
schools,
the
residents
and
I.
Don't
know
that,
there's
any
clear,
quick
indication
of
how
to
fix
this.
What
I
have
heard
this
evening,
though,
is
that
we're
having
a
truck
problem,
and
we
really
need
to
think
about
what
that
looks
like.
Overall,
we
have
residents
concerned
about
trucks
parked
in
their
neighborhoods,
so
I
feel
like.
Maybe
we
need
to
slow
down
and
look
at
this
on
a
bigger
scope.
C
I
think
everyone's
kind
of
expressed
their
concerns,
so
I
I
I'm,
just
going
to
reiterate.
I
hope
that
we,
you
know,
vote
no
on
this
in
that
very
or
just
delay
it
or
not.
We
can
table
it.
I
have
another
item.
That's
coming
up
next
that
I'm
going
to
table
into
the
summer.
Maybe
we
can
table
this
until
then
and
I
think
we
should
actually
engage
in
that
you
know
Logistics
study
or
whatever.
C
We
need
to
do
to
really
understand
what
our
our
goal
is
here
and
I
think
that
would
fit
in
with
our
carp
goals
that
would
fit
in
with
our
Equity
goals
to
really
take
some
time
to
address
the
the
utilization
of
these
kinds
of
trucks
in
our
community
so
yeah.
That's
it.
AS
Just
for
the
sake
of
the
exercise,
I
had
to
ask
Laura
Biggs
to
come
up
with
some
rough
costs
of
what
it
would
take
to
relocate
the
embankment
that
if
there
were
some
additional
space
that
y'all
received
it,
that
could
be
added
that
could
be
created
at
the
abatement
at
Maine
and
in
Custer.
What
would
the
cost
be?
They
came
back
with
four
to
five
million,
which
I
don't
think
we're
prepared
to
do
for
one
business,
but.
AS
O
I'd
call
I
just
feels
like
there
should
be
another
solution
somewhere
in
here:
I,
don't
like
the
idea
of
trucks
going
down
Oakton
by
schools
and
but
I
also,
and
there.
O
Yeah
and
then
this
video
is
impressive,
I,
just
wonder
if
there
isn't
it,
it
just
seems
like
even
I,
don't
know
if
it's
four
to
five
million,
but
I
do
Wonder.
You
know
and
I
also
want
to
support
evidence
Lumber,
it's
a
long
time
like
you
know,
Legacy
business.
It
just
feels
like
there's
got
to
be
some
other
solution
that
isn't
either
frequenting
Oakton
or
a
four
to
five
or
or
that
the
perhaps
seventh
and
lumber
invests
some
money
in
in
making
this
a
better
turn.
I,
don't
know.
N
Well,
if,
if
the
truck
doesn't
come
with
a
flag
man,
maybe
even
some
Lumber
would
like
to
send
somebody
out
from
their
office
when
a
delivery
truck
is
coming
to
help
them.
Do
the
turnaround
just
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
keep
knocking
over,
stop
signs
and
potentially
doing
something
worse
anyway,
just
a
thought.
N
D
A
With
two
voting
in
favor
and
seven
voting
against
the
resolution
fails
council
member
Reed,
would
you
try
to
make
a
motion
on.
C
Item
A5,
yes,
I,
move
item,
A5,
ordinance,
108,
108,
108.022,
amending
city
code,
section
10,
11,
13
schedule
13..
Second,.
A
C
Yeah
so
I'm
looking
to
table
this
until
the
second
meeting
in
July,
which
I
believe
is
July,
17th
and
and
to
and
but
before
I
actually
make
the
motion
I
just
wanted,
because
I
saw
a
face
and
I
want
to
explain.
You
know
why
it's
being
tabled
that
long
I
want
to
make
sure
that
so
we
have
a
business
in
the
eighth,
Ward
and
I.
Don't
want
to
take
up
too
much
time,
but
we
have
a
business
in
eighth
Ward
similar
to
this,
who
has
semis
that
are
coming
through
the
neighborhood.
C
The
business
has
been
there
since
the
1940s,
but
they
have
not
had
semis
coming
into
the
neighborhood
since
the
1940s.
This
is
something
that
the
neighbors
have
expressed
is
new
in
the
last
15
years,
at
least
from
one
neighbor
expressing
the
time
frame
that
semis
and
it's
become
even
more
frequent
in
the
last
few
years
as
this
business
has
grown,
which
is
good,
they
have
several
locations
not
outside
it.
C
They
have
several
locations
outside
of
the
City
of
Evanston,
and
you
know
those
are
I
haven't
looked
at
all
of
them,
but
located
in
commercial
zones.
C
You
know
this
is
a
completely
residential
neighborhood,
where
trucks
are
showing
up
as
early
as
you
know,
in
some
cases
3
30
I've
heard
4
30
more
often
and
other
times,
with
their
refrigerators
humming.
They
can't
turn
the
semis
off
we're
having
enforcement
problems.
This
has
been
going
on
for
years.
The
previous
council
member,
my
predecessor,
has
you
know,
tried
to
deal
with
this
as
well,
and
it
just
seems
as
though
we
can't
get
a
solution.
Staff
has
reached
out.
Eventually
you
know
and
had
unsuccessful
attempts
to
to
communicate.
C
Eventually,
the
class
in
wholesale
did
meet
with
the
police
department,
but
even
after
that
meeting,
you
know
there
were
complaints
from
residents
about
some
of
the
agreements
with
the
police
department
not
being
followed
through,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
we
can
look
at
this.
You
know
I
think
this
is
you
know
we
move
this
out
of
committee
here
to
council,
and
hopefully
this
will
bring
class
into
the
table
to
try
to
have
another
round
of
discussions
and,
if
not
I,
think
we
do
really
have
to
look
at.
C
You
know
this
this
ordinance
or
some
version
of
it
down
the
road,
but
I
think
we
can
give
them
time
to
to
prove
themselves
and
that'll
be
mid-summer,
and
then
lastly,
I'll
say
that
you
know
some
similar
to
Evanston
Lumber
or
you
know
in
my
case
class
and
wholesale
I,
think
we
have
to
think
what
what
do
we
want
in
our
neighborhoods
here
in
Evanston?
What
kind
of
environment?
C
C
Humming,
you
know
quite
loudly
and
you
know,
should
we
if
a
company
wants
to
maintain
operation
and
again
I'm
looking
at
Classen
in
a
completely
residential
neighborhood,
you
know:
is
there
a
cost
to
to
that
operation
and
does
that
cost
mean
that
they
have
to
use
smaller
staging
vehicles
to
move
their
materials
somewhere
else
to
a
commercial
Zone
where
they
can
have
semis
come
rather
than
you
know,
having
semis
come
directly
to
this
residential
neighborhood?
C
So
with
that
I
moved
to
table
this
to
the
second
meeting
in
July,
which
I
believe
is
July
17th.
If
that
happens,
to
not
be
the
date,
then,
whatever
the
second
meeting
is
second.
A
A
Aye,
with
nine
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against
the
motion
carries
an
ordinance.
108-0-22
will
be
tabled
will
be
yes
tabled
until
the
July
24th
2023
meeting
of
the
city
council
mark
your
calendars.
Now
this
brings
us
to
item
R1
council
member
Cardis.
Do
you
want
to
make
a
motion
on
an
item
or
one.
AT
Sure
I
move
yep
I
can
move
them
both
I
move
R1
and
R2
resolution
85
R22
amending
city
council,
rule
9.7
and
R2
resolution.
86,
R,
22
amending
city
council,
rule
9.10.3.
H
A
A
C
So
we
originally
tabled
this
to
this
date
in
anticipation
of
the
November
rules
committee
meeting,
which
did
not
occur,
but
we
do
have
a
rules
committee
meeting
set
for
the
third
fifth
or
whatever
the
next
for
next
week,
which
would
allow
us
the
the
time
if
you
know,
if
we
put
our
caps
back
on
and
think
back
to
that
moment.
C
The
reason
we
held
is
because
councilmember
Burns,
myself
and
others
were
interested
in
looking
at
an
amendment
to
this
at
rules
and
having
that
discussion,
then
I
think
you
know
that
still
stands
and
so
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
follow
through
with
that
and
table
this
until
the
18th,
which
would
or
some
later
18th
would
be
after
the
rules
18th
of
what
month
of
this
month,.
C
Oh
I'm,
sorry,
the
12th,
yes
I'm,
sorry,
the
12th
of
December,
and
that
would
allow
us
to
have
the
discussion
at
rules.
You
know
have
those
amendments
move
forward
and
move
forward
with
this
as
appropriate.
A
N
A
With
eight
voting,
a
favor
and
one
voting
against
the
motion
carries
and
the
items
will
appear
on
the
December
12th
city
council
agenda.
This
brings
us
now
to
item
S1
with
someone
care
to
make
a
motion
on
item
S1.
N
Foreign
over
approval
of
Mental
Health
Service
Providers
to
enable
residents
in
holistic,
Case,
Management
Services
to
rapidly
access
needed,
Services.
Second
and
I-
guess
I
I
ask
this
to
come
off
a
consent
agenda
because
of
the
concerns
that
were
expressed
during
public
comments.
So
Sarah,
could
you
give
us
some
background?
Please,
council.
A
Member
Revell
moves
approval
of
item
S1
council
member
Reed
seconds
before
any
discussion,
we'll
hear
from
Patrick
does.
AH
S
A
I
think
you
may
want
to
mute
yourself
until
called
on
so.
AH
A
We'll
start
with
the
presentation
from
staff.
AU
Thank
you,
Sarah
flax,
interim
community
development
director,
the
consum.
Some
of
the
concerns
that
were
raised
about
this
funding
is
really
based
on
not
looking
at
what
the
purpose
of
this
particular
funding
application
was
for.
AU
So
we
now
have
two
committees
and
the
social
services
committee
is
responsible
for
the
Public
Services
funding
that
is
cdbg,
but
also
what
we
traditionally
called
our
Mental
Health
Services
funding,
which
is
actually
from
the
Human
Services
fund,
and
we
have
a
three
three
types
of
funding
that
are
being
allocated
in
this
process.
One
is
for
robust
case
management
for
people,
individuals
and
households
with
complex
needs,
who
really
lack
the
ability
to
go
out
and
find
the
other
Support
Services.
AU
They
need
for
themselves
safety
net
services
that
are
the
types
of
things
that
almost
anyone
can
need
in
an
emergency
like
they,
somebody
loses
a
job
and
needs
food.
Somebody
is
a
victim
of
domestic
violence
needs
those
Services
number
of
types
of
things
under
that,
and
then
the
third
new
category
was
something
we've
never
done
before,
which
is
getting
a
system
for
procuring
services
that
the
case
management
client
needs.
AU
The
clients
need
so
you're
working
with
the
agencies
that
are
providing
those
Case,
Management
Services,
identifying
what
the
client's
needs
are
and
then
figuring
out
what
how
we
can
procure
those
services
for
those
clients.
The
social
services
committee
had
done
significant
discussion
about
what
should
be
the
focus
of
this.
AU
They
get
referred
to
a
bunch
of
different
agencies
and,
depending
on
what
their
funding
is,
whether
they're
Medicaid
or
whether
they
have
no
insurance
or
what
they
get
put
in
a
cure,
a
line
for
whatever
that
funding
source
is,
and
it
can
take
them
a
really
long
time
to
get
into
services.
So
this
is
an
attempt
to
really
provide
access
to
the
services
rapidly.
So
we
did
something
quite
different.
We-
and
we
said
this-
goes
way
back
to
the
explanation
of
how
we
we
might
reach
out
to
different
providers.
AU
Maybe
we
can
use
for-profit
providers
for
certain
things
like
this,
where
we're
paying
a
fee
for
service
in
essence,
and
if
their
fees
are
comparable
or
in
in
a
Range
that
is
reasonable
and
they
provide
the
services.
Why
could
we
not
go
to
them?
AU
And
so
some
of
our
providers
were
concerned
that
we
should
be
supporting
only
non-profit,
Mental
Health
Providers,
but
they
aren't
necessarily
able
to
provide
some
of
the
same
services
on
the
same
basis,
because
this
is
really
being
able
to
get
new
clients
who
are
not
currently
accessing
services
on
their
own
but
are
being
helped
get
to
this
through
their
caseworkers
to
get
into
services,
and
the
Social
Services
committee
really
decided
that
because
Mental
Health
Services
were
such
a
huge
need
of
everyone,
but
especially
of
our
peop,
our
residents,
who
have
been
really
impacted
by
covid
and
have
the
even
greater
challenges
that
we
should
focus
only
on
Mental,
Health
Services.
AU
Up
for
this
first
attempt
at
providing
Supportive
Services,
we
had
a
task
force
of
the
social
services
committee
that
actually
worked
on
how
to
define
what
services
we
needed.
You
know,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
with
the
case
management
agencies,
so
the
case
management
agencies
also
in
in
addition
to
the
ones
we're
funding.
AU
We
include
some
services
that
are
being
provided
or
some
people
who
are
being
helped
through
services
that
aren't
funded
directly
by
the
case
management,
part
of
that,
including
our
own
Human
Services
Group,
that
works
with
GA
clients
and
our
youth
and
young
adults.
AU
Workers
that
really
work
with
a
very
high
need
group
that
are,
in
essence
in
case
management
anyway,
so
the
application
was
opened
in
late
summer.
We
actually
did
hear
from
the
mental
health
task
force.
They
were
concerned
about
not
having
a
long
enough
period
of
time.
The
time
for
the
application
was
extended
to
attempt
to
address
that,
and
we
really
got
some
really
strong
applications.
AU
AU
Let's
keep
it
reasonably
simple
and
not
say:
oh,
let's
include
all
of
the
applicants,
because
that
would
be
a
logistical
nightmare,
I
think
to
manage,
and
the
committee
came
up
with
three
applicants
that
they
chose
to
fund
and
and
or
recommend
funding
for,
and
the
criteria
included
being
able
to
really
deal
with
the
populations
which
many
of
whom
have
barriers
to
accessing
service
or
are
uncomfortable
with.
You
know
the
services
that
they
have
been
able
to
at
least
try
to
access
in
the
past
for
cultural
reasons.
AU
Maybe
they
didn't
feel
they
had
practitioners
that
they
would
be
comfortable
with.
So
those
were
the
types
of
questions
that
were
asked
in
the
application.
Like
do
you
serve
people
with
this
type
of
background
and
they
all
had
to
give
a
pricing
system
for
individual
family
and
group
counseling
if
or
any
combination
of
those
that
they
wanted
to
offer
and
the
organization
selected
were
all
in
within
a
reasonable
range
of
each
other
there.
AU
You
know
there
is
a
range
to
the
cost
of
services,
but
that's
normal
too,
but
then
we
also
we're
looking
for
organizations
that
either
had
Evanston
locations
or
would
provide
services
in
Evanston
locations
and
a
number
of
agencies
could
do
one
or
the
other
or
both,
but
one
of
the
things
we
wanted
in
addition
to
just
having
an
office
that
they
provide
things
out
of,
is,
would
they
be
able
to
go
to
different
locations?
AU
For
example,
if
you're
doing
group
counseling
or
groups
for
young
people
we've
talked
about,
could
they
be
after
school
or
could
they
be
at
our
community,
centers
or
other
places
where
those
children
already
those
young
people
already
are?
So
there
are
a
lot
of
different
factors
that
the
committee
considered
I
think
it
was
a
robust
discussion,
I
think
the
meeting
went
till
9
30
or
something
like
that
on
this
date,
but
it
I
think
there
is
confusion
about
what
the
purpose
of
this
funding
was.
AU
It
is
not
even
though
we
certainly
tried
to
describe
it
adequately,
I
thought
it
really
isn't.
Just
agencies
are
historic
funding
was
agencies
could
apply
for
what
they
for
the
services
they
provide
and
then
either
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
act
would
decide
on
cdbg
and
the
Mental
Health
Board
would
act
on
the
local
funds
and
it
was
agency
focused,
it
was.
Are
they
doing
good
work?
Yes,
you
know
they
all
are.
AU
All
of
our
agencies
are
doing
good
work,
but
this
is
focused
on
getting
services
to
this
specific
group
of
people
that
the
city
has
targeted
as
being
at
greatest
need,
and
that's
why
it
is
different
from
past
allocation
processes
and
we
have
representatives
from
all
three
of
the
agencies.
AU
The
organizations
here,
if
there's
specific
questions
about
their
services,
I
also
have
Jessica
wingeter
on
Zoom,
because
I'm
sure
there
are
questions
that
may
come
up
that
I
can't
answer
as
ably
as
she
is,
but
but
it's
the
third
stage
in
a
rather
long
transition
to
a
new
funding
process.
AU
Have
agreements
with
each
but
it
isn't
an
absolute
you
will
get
this
amount
of
money.
What
it
is
is
they
will
work
the
the
case,
management,
clients
or
the
case
managers
themselves
will
reach
out
to
find
who
has
services
that
are
appropriate
for
their
clients
and
then
once
they
are
in
Services
they
will
it's
going
to
be
paid
on
a
on
a
fee-for-service
basis.
In
other
words,
if
say
somebody
one
of
the
organizations
has
a
youth
group.
AU
That
group
may
be
already
in
existence
from
some
of
their
other
services.
They
can
they
would.
We
would
pay
a
fee
for
any
individual
who
comes
through
this.
It
wouldn't
necessarily
require
them
to
have
a
whole
group
of
the
one
type
of
people
seeking
services,
or
we
would
really
have
a
challenge
getting
anybody
into
services,
but
for
individual
or
family
counseling.
There
would
be
a
fee
for
services,
because
in
each
one
of
the
agencies,
provided
its
proposed
a
number
of
sessions
for
shorter
term
or
medium-term
needs.
AU
One
of
the
other
things
that
the
committee
felt
was
very
important
was
that
the
there
was
some
way
of
moving
people
into
continued
Services
after
that
which
included
two
of
the
agencies
except
Medicaid,
and
the
other
has
its
own
system
for
raising
money
to
provide
fee
assistance
to
people
in
financial
need.
N
Yeah
now
so
I
I
can
appreciate
that
it's
really
a
very
different
a
fee
for
service
compared
to
Grants
directly,
to
you
know
the
wonderful
non-profits
we
have
in
the
community
who
are
providing
those
Services.
So
do
you?
Do
you
think
that
the
members
of
the
mental
health.
N
AU
Well,
we
certainly
tried
to
explain
it
to
everybody.
There
were
meetings,
there
were
also
a
number
of
meetings
before
the
application
itself
was
developed
to
discuss
this
with
providers
and
not
everybody
was
involved
in
that,
but
I
I
don't
think
it
was.
AU
It
wasn't
a
sudden.
We
did
something
different.
On
the
other
hand,
this
has
been
a
long
time
frame
to
roll
this
whole
new
program
out,
and
it
is
a
little
hard
to
keep
track
of
right.
AS
Yeah
I
was
going
to
say
based
on
you
know
where
the
council
is
I.
Think
the
request
from
some
of
the
members
of
the
mental
health
task
force
was
to
refer
back
to
the
Social
Services
committee,
I.
Think
if
we
want
to
find
some
middle
ground,
this
is
a
resolution.
If
it
wasn't,
we
do
intro
in
action,
but
it
is
a
resolution.
So
we
could.
AS
You
know
you
know,
table
this
holder
table
this
to
the
next
meeting
and
allow
an
opportunity
for
myself
and
whoever
else
is
interested
to
meet
with
the
mental
health
members
of
the
mental
health
task
force
to
hear
their
feedback,
and
then
they
make
a
final
decision
and
I
guess.
AS
My
my
main
concern
is
that
I
I
did
voices
to
individual
members
of
the
task
forces
that
I
would
have
loved
to
hear
from
them
at
the
social
service
committee
meeting
during
public
comment,
I
think
that
was
a
wonderful
opportunity
for
them
to
express
kind
of
their
their
views
on
this,
but
I
think
after
hearing
from
them.
AS
If,
if
you
don't
think
it
would
disturb,
you
know
the
allocation
process
too
much
I
think
at
least
giving
us
some
time
to
meet
with
them
and
for
us
to
address
US
during
the
next
council
meeting
during
public
comment
as
well.
It's
important
that
we
bring
that
group
along.
You
know,
they've
done
a
lot
of
they've
been
a
really
important
partner
to
the
city
and
I.
Think
hearing
from
it
makes
me
at
least
want
to
say:
let's,
let's
hear
them
out
and
I
don't
know
if
they
were
prepared
to
do
that
tonight.
AU
I'm,
obviously,
if
that
is
the
council's
wish,
we
can
have
further
discussion.
I
do
want
to
say
that
both
Jessica
and
I
did
have
considerable
discussions
with
people
and
we're
happy
to
do
it
more.
I
think
that
one
of
the
questions
is
are
I
would
in
order
to
figure
out
what
our
next
steps
would
be
or
what
the
social
services
committee
this
direction
to.
AU
AU
AS
I
think
a
skylight
was
actually
support
and
we'll
continue
to
support
because
I
think
they're
a
really
diverse
group,
which
I
didn't
see
that
in
many
of
the
other
groups,
especially,
you
know
members
of
our
latinx
community
community,
but
black
women
and
black
men
right
which,
from
what
I've
heard,
is
difficult
to
identify
black
men
to
work.
Not
only
is
this
therapist,
but
also
as
teachers,
so
we
need
more
of
that
so
I
actually
support
Skylight.
That
being
said,
I
think
one
of
the
concerns
was
that
they
don't
accept.
AU
J
AS
C
My
well
I
I
think
we
can.
My
recommendation
is
with
that.
We
would
send
this
back
to
the
Social
Services
committee.
The
next
meeting
is
on
the
eighth
correct,
Sarah,
yes,
eighth
of
this
month,
I
think
that's
why
I
got
the
18th
mixed
up
last
time
so
and
so
I'd
refer
this
to
the
Social
Service
committee
for
the
meeting
that
occurs
on
the
8th
that'll.
Give
us
some
time
to
you
know
let
the
the
mental
yes
mental
health
task
force
way
in
further
to
have
those
concerns.
C
I
know
at
the
social
services
committee,
where
this
was
passed.
There's
some
missing,
there's
some
members
that
didn't
attend
that
meeting,
including
myself
and
you
know
there
are
some
members
who
expressed
you,
know,
I
think,
there's
something
with
the
packet
and
a
little
bit
of
confusion
about
getting
everyone
on
the
same
page
and
having
the
full
information.
So
I
think
there
would
be
a
slightly
different
conversation
to
take
place,
particularly
with
these
new
groups
involved.
We
can
still
get
this
back
on
the
agenda.
C
Hopefully,
we
won't
need
a
presentation
at
the
next
meeting,
because
the
12th
is
already
becoming
a
very
packed
meeting,
and
so
you
know
I
think
with
the
social
services
committee.
Having
a
second
look
at
this,
giving
a
Second,
Blessing
I
think
this
council
could
feel
comfortable
moving
forward
with
whatever
their
recommendations
are.
C
C
C
A
Council
member
hadakati's
seconds
I
have
a
bunch
of
lights
on
is
so
the
people
who
whose
lights
have
been
on
our
council
members,
Kelly,
When
and
burns,
are
any
of
those
to
discuss.
This
motion
to
refer.
AO
The
value
of
having
some
as
council
member
Burns
was
saying
to
discuss
this
issue
and
the
allocations
with
some
of
the
groups
that
we
heard
from
tonight
during
the
the
public
comment,
but
I.
Don't
necessarily
think
it
should
go
back
to
the
Social
Services
committee
for
a
redo,
because
this
has
clearly
been
a
long
process
and
what
I
would
see
as
useful
as
perhaps
explaining
the
process
more
carefully
to
the
those
who
are
unhappy
with
it.
But
I.
AO
Don't
necessarily
think
that
it
would
be
appropriate
to
send
it
back
so
that
a
different
outcome
would
come
out
of
it.
I
I
think
airing
it
for
the
next
until
the
December
12th
meeting,
so
that
people
all
have
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
other
members
of
the
council
and
would
be
worthwhile
but
I.
Don't
necessarily
think
that's
fair
to
everyone.
Who's
participated
in
this
process
to
have
it
get
up
here
and
then
be
sent
back
and
changed.
A
AS
Just
want
to
say,
I
mean
I'm
sort
of
fine,
either
way.
I
think
my
concern
is
that
some
of
the
I
think
some
of
the
concerns
ultimately
may
not
be
addressed
at
the
committee,
even
if
we
bring
it
back
I
think
it
really
is
going
to
come
down
to
what
this
you
know
this.
What
this
Council
decides
to
do.
One
of
the
things
that
I've
recommended
at
at
the
committee
level
that
didn't
get
support
is,
let's
just
let's
just
leave
it
open.
AS
Let's
just
add
another
provider
potentially
to
go
from
three
to
four
I
think
there
were
maybe
eight
or
nine
that
applied
am
I.
If
I
remember
that,
maybe
seven
six.
AS
That
and
and
I
know,
that
would
be
a
nightmare
in
terms
of
for
staff
to
to
keep
up
with
reporting,
but
something
I
did
recommend
is
look
let's,
let's
add
one
or
two:
yes,
it's
it's
not
11..
It
will
add
some
additional
reporting
on
staff,
but
it's
not
it's
certainly
not
approving
11,
and
that
may
be
a
compromise,
because
I
think
some
of
the
groups
would
like
to
see
some
I
think
the
way
they
described
it.
AS
You
know,
non-profits
that
are
kind
of
rooted
in
Evanston,
ended
up
serving
the
community
for
a
while,
so
again,
I'm
finding
the
way
I
just
feel
like
we.
The
council
also
needs
to
hear
from
the
group,
and
not
just
the
committee,
ultimately,
because
I
think
some
of
the
changes
that
we
may
want
to
make
will
be
made
here
and
not
necessarily
you
know,
by
sending
it
back
at
back
to
committee.
O
Yeah
so
I
guess
I
did
I
mean
I
do
feel
like
I
should
go
back
to
the
committee.
I
think
that
is
the
appropriate
venue
to
really
be
discussing
this,
and
also
to
be
hearing
of
some
of
the
other.
Some
of
the
concerns
that
we
heard
this
evening
I
think
that's
really
where
it
should
be
hashed
out
who's
on
the
task
force
that
you
mentioned.
Is
that.
AU
Who
was
on
the
task
force
that
works
with
staff?
It
was
two
of
the
committee
members
I,
don't
off
the
top
of
my
Headroom
or
one
was
to
meet
a
Cravens
who
was
now
actually
in
our
youth
services,
Youth
and
Young
adults,
team
and
the
other
I
do
not
I
think
it
was
Amanda
Angola
but
I'm,
not
sure
two
staff
members,
no,
no,
no
two
of
they
were
both
on
the
social
services
committee
and
both
practitioners
of
mental
health
practitioners.
O
C
Thank
you
account
number
one
I
I
and
councilmember
burns.
Both
of
you
are
here
what
you're,
saying
and
I
think
all
of
it's
possible
I
think
it's
possible
for
council
members
and
I.
Think
it's
prudent
for
council
members
to
you
know,
have
those
discussions,
but
I
also
think
that
you
know
a
lot
of
we
we
hear
from
our
committees.
We've
heard
it
for
a
while
that
people
feel,
like
their
input,
isn't
being
taken
well.
C
That's
compliant
with
LMA,
so
the
public
can
be
a
part
of
it
and
hear
what's
going
on,
and
you
know
again,
it
doesn't
prohibit
any
of
us
from
having
individual
meetings
with
with
the
mental
health
task
force
or
its
former
members
or
anyone
else,
and
so
you
know,
I
I,
think
you
know
we
can
accomplish
all
of
that
by
sending
this
back
to
the
Social
Services
committee.
A
N
So
they
better
understand
this
new
model,
because
because
I
do
remember
when
this
new
model
was
originally
discussed
way
back,
when
was
that
when
I
was
anyway
it's
and
it,
it
seemed
to
me
like
a
really
really
good
approach
to
really
provide
I
mean
we
know
we
have
families
and
individuals
who
need
these
wrap
around
services,
and
so
I,
don't
want
to
send
I,
wouldn't
want
a
signal
that
I
I
want
the
committee
to
kind
of
reverse
course,
and
so
I
I
guess
I'm.
C
So
I
I
can
speak
for
myself
and
everyone's
voting
for
their
own
reasons,
but
you
know
I,
don't
have
a
particular.
You
know
outcome
in
mind
that
I
want
the
committee
to
change
its
opinion
or
that
I
even
want
the
committee
to
necessarily
stick
with
its
opinion.
What
I
want
the
committee
to
do
is
have
an
open
Forum,
where
our
experts
can
hear
that
what
I
think
are
very
valid
and
I'm.
C
Sorry
mayor,
Bessemer,
very
valid
and
legitimate
concerns
about
this,
and
you
know
have
an
open
committee
discussion
and
respect
the
you
know
the
the
experts
who
are
putting
their
time
toward
this
and
let
them
you
know
not
just
let
the
council
take
this
and
you
know
maybe
make
amendments
or
not,
but
at
least
hear
from
our
mental
health
providers
who
serve
on
this
committee.
If,
if
they
are,
you
know,
agree
with
any
of
the
concerns
that
are
being
raised
by
the
mental
health
task
force.
Folks,.
AS
Yeah,
if
we
do
refer
back
to
the
committee
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
can
also
hear
from
the
Jocelyn
the
three
organizations
that
are
on
the
back
of
today,
Jocelyn
Metropolitan
and
Skylight,
that
we
allow
them
an
opportunity
to
to
answer
questions
there
as
well,
but
I
want
to
make
it
clear.
I
think
what
I've
heard
expressed
is
that
there
there
is
some
hope
that
we
will
award
different
providers.
AS
You
know,
maybe
in
addition
to
is,
would
be
my
what
I
would
support
personally,
but
but
that
is
what
we're
taking
a
look
at
so
I
think
it's
all
of
the
above
I
think
the
folks
that
are
calling
for
this
are
also
looking
for
us
to
potentially
reverse
the
decision.
That
was,
you
know,
to
to
potentially
award
new
providers
and
I.
Don't
think.
That's
necessarily
a
bad
thing.
I
just
want
to
be
clear
on
that.
That
is,
they
have
some
concerns
about
some
of
the
providers
that
were.
AU
150,
no,
it's
it's
actually
more
than
that,
because
that's
for
one!
That's
for
the
group
and
then
there's
additional
it's
another
150
000
for
them.
But
I
do
want
to
note
that
the
committee
did
say
there
would
be
an
assessment
as
well,
because
this
is
a
new
thing
and
nobody
knows
quite
how
it's
going
to
work.
AU
So
it's
not
like
they're
getting
a
contract
amount
that
they
are
guaranteed
that
amount
as
I
say
they
have
to
use.
And
so
it
was
also
expected
that
we
would
look
at
the
performance
and
were
people
getting
into
services
and
did
we
have
to
add
additional
providers
or
even
maybe,
if
a
provider
wasn't
doing
a
good
job,
then
maybe
you
know
we
would
choose
different
ones,
but
but
that
obviously
can
be
done
at
any
point
in
this
kind
of
fee
for
service
type
approach
to
trying
to
fund
something.
AS
Just
as
long
as
we
think
we
can
get
it
on
for
the
12th
dependent,
you
know,
assuming
that
there's
kind
of
minimal
changes,
I'm
happy
to
support,
referring
it
back
to
the
Social
Services
I
just
want
everybody
to
be
on
the
same
page
about
what
type
of
discussion
will
occur
again.
I.
AJ
A
Is
committed
to
getting
this
on
the
agenda
on
the
12th
if
it
goes
back
to
the
social
service
committee
on
the
8th
Dave,
do
you
wanna.
AV
AS
AT
Yeah
I
I
mean
I,
guess
the
feedback
I
got
from
community
members
that
asked
me
about
this.
Was
they
just
wanted
a
lot
more
clarity
around
the
process
and
and
the
information
behind
the
providers
I
mean
granted?
If,
if
you,
if
we
send
it
back
to
the
committee
and
they
meet
and
all
the
questions
are
answered,
there
shouldn't
be
any
changes
to
the
memo.
AT
But
if,
for
some
reason-
and
it's
all
up
to
the
committee
members
at
that
point,
if
they
change,
if
they
change
the
recommendations
based
on
community
input,
maybe
we
should
think
about
pushing
it
and-
and
you
know
getting
it
right,
based
on
more
information,
but
it
does
seem
like
you
know,
we
had
the
conversation
today
Sarah
and
it
seems
like
people
just
need
to
be
filled
in
on
it.
So
I
I
wouldn't
expect
like
big
changes,
but
I
think
it
does
I
would
support
sending
it
back
unless
it
I.
A
Mean
well,
let
me
just
give
sort
of
a
guide
of
I
I.
Don't
think
anybody
is
seriously
considerability
on
this
tonight.
I
think
everybody
wants
more
time.
The
motion
before
us
at
this
time
is
a
motion
to
refer
it
to
the
Social
Services
committee
meeting,
which
will
occur
on
December,
8th
and
a
motion
that
was
has
not
been
made
because
not
an
order
at
this
time,
but
it's
been
proposed
by
council
member
when
would
be
to
Simply
hold
it
so
it
it
buys
everybody
two
weeks
and
then
comes
back
here
on
December
12th.
A
A
And
the
other
question
is
a
timing
question,
which
is
that,
if,
if
for
whatever
reason,
it's
important
to
you
to
get
this
thing
heard
on
December
12th
as
opposed
to
waiting
until
January
9th
I,
don't
think
the
referral
to
the
Social
Services
committee
is
consistent
with
an
iron-clad
commitment
to
make
that
happen.
A
So
there's
there's
a
variety
of
options
and
and
do
what
you
want
to
do,
but
to
the
extent
that
you're
sure
you
want
this
thing
here
on
December
12th,
then
I
think
it
becomes
difficult
to
vote
for
the
referral
back
to
Social,
Services
council
member
Kelly
with
four
and
a
half
minutes
left.
So.
O
I,
concur
with
council
member
herakaris
I
think
it
goes
back
likely,
nothing
will
change,
but
if
there
is
substantial
discussion
that
would
lead
to
significant
change,
then
then
we
should
wait,
I
mean
I,
don't
I
mean
it
seems
like
we're
more
hooked
on
a
date
than
we
are
on
on
get
make
doing
this
right,
so
I
mean
I
think
it
should
go
back
to
the
committee.
This
is
this.
A
So
seeing
no
further
discussion
again,
the
motion
before
us
is
the
motion
to
refer
it
back
to
committee.
Will
the
clerk
please
take
the
role
on
that
motion.
A
With
eight
voting
in
favor
and
non-voting
against,
the
motion
carries
and
this
item
S1
will
be
referred
back
to
the
mental
health.
Sorry,
the
social
services
committee,
with
the
hope
that
it
will
be
heard
of
their
December,
8th
meeting.
That
includes
the
consent
agenda
and
brings
us
to
call
of
the
words
council
member
web.
AO
Yes,
just
one
item
Third
Ward
office
hours,
this
Thursday
December
1st
from
7
30
to
10
a.m
at
Brothers
K.
Thank
you.
H
You
Mr
Mayor
Fourth
Ward
award,
meeting
Tuesday
December
6th
7
p.m.
At
Robert,
Crown
and
fourth
ward
office
hours
are
going
to
be
Sunday.
Instead
of
Saturday,
it's
going
to
be
Sunday
December
11th
from
2
to
4,
P.M
location
pending
confirmation
will
likely
be
the
Evanston
made
pop-up
at
832
Dempster.
Thank
you.
AS
I
won't
go
through
all
of
this,
so
I'll
just
say:
I'm
sending
a
newsletter
out,
probably
tomorrow
with
some
more
information,
but
the
highlights
are
before
meeting
December
1st
and
then
the
Fifth
Ward
Campus
Community
meeting
to
discuss
the
Fifth
Ward
school
and
the
future
of
Fleetwood
jerane
will
happen
on
the
6th
at
Fleetwood
Jordan
at
6
p.m,
and
then
also
wanted
to
say.
I'll
have
more
conversations
with
everyone
up
here
between
between
meetings
but
I.
AS
Do
prepare
I'm
prepared
to
make
an
amendment
to
this
budget
to
support
storefront
I
think
it
is.
It
is
a
long
time
coming
that
we
we
get
behind
Shore
front
in
a
real
way.
They
have
not
for
different
reasons.
They
have
not
really
requested
funds
from
the
city.
AS
I
think
the
last
contribution
they
got
was
maybe
7
500
a
decade
ago
or
so
and
I
think
this
is
a
wonderful
opportunity
with
the
transition
from
with
Dino
who
has
served
this
community
well
and
and
has
been
truly
committed
to
his
work
in
the
city
transition
it
to
Louise.
Bell
I
think
this
is
a
perfect
opportunity
for
us
to
to
support
storefront
so
I'll
be
making
an
amendment
to
this
year's
budget.
AS
I
want
to
have
some
more
conversations
with
with
hitesh
about
the
Surplus,
but
it
seems
like
this
is
a
good
year
to
make
a
one-time
contribution,
I'm,
also
working
with
the
staff
to
think
about
a
arpa
request,
depending
on
what
happens
there
for
some
Capital
support
for
short
front,
but
I
think
it's
time
that
we
support
them.
It's
a
good
opportunity
and-
and
then
also
we've
been
working
on
I've
been
working
on
I
mentioned
early
in
this
process,
an
issue
involving
staff
support.
AS
We
do
not
have
any
staff
support
as
a
council,
it
is
very
common
I've
done
my
research
now
and
other
members
of
the
Northwest
Municipal
conference
that
there
is
a
line
item
we'll
we
can
figure
out
exactly
what
that'll
be
full-time
staff.
You
know
virtual
executive
assistant,
those
are
discussions
that
we're
still
having,
but
they
are
neighboring
communities
in
the
Northwest
Municipal
conference
that
have
a
line
item
to
support
Council,
and
so
that
is
another
amendment
that
I
plan
to
make.
AS
But
again
we're
still
kind
of
working
on
doing
research
and
and
seeing
what
what
makes
the
most
sense
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
announce
that
and
I'll
have
more
information
at
the
next
meeting
and
in
between
meetings,
I
plan
to
have
a
conversation
with
everyone
who
is
interested
in
talking
about
it.
Thank
you.
N
Who
just
another
mentioned
that
on
December
15th
I'll
be
having
my
next
seventh
board
meeting
special
topics
about
the
stadium
project
and
we'll
be
talking
about
event,
Day
Management,
including
a
report
from
the
Northwestern
traffic
engineer
about
the
traffic
and
parking
study
that
they've
been
performing.
Looking
at
the
parking
and
traffic
around
the
football
games.
C
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
announce
the
award
meeting
on
this
Thursday
newsletter,
also
to
go
out
soon,
hopefully,
tomorrow,
I
just
want
to
take
a
second
to
to
appreciate
my
colleagues
and
appreciate
you
know
tonight.
C
For
example,
we
unanimously
passed
amendments
to
the
public
nudity
ordinance
that
brought
us
in
line
with
recognizing
our
trans
community
in
and
ensuring
that
we're
reducing
the
legal
liability
in
our
city
and
living
up
to
our
values
and
our
in
our
and
our
commitments
to
to
to
marginalized
communities
and
I
appreciate
this
council's
maturity
on
that.
C
C
We
do
need
to
amend
this
ordinance
to
live
up
to
our
values,
and
tonight
we
adopted
that
and
so
I
I
hope
folks
begin
to
really
assess
this
Council
for
what
it
is
and
this
this
is
a
council
that
I
think
is
very.
Unlike
other
councils,
my
Gray
beard
can
you
know-
maybe
you
know
give
me
some
a
history
lesson
on
this,
but
I
really
think.
C
There's
a
council
that's
willing
to
work
together
and
willing
to
do
the
the
tough
things
and
willing
to
hear
each
other
out
and
really
attempting
to
get
to
yes
and
I
hope
that
we
begin
to
look
at
ourselves
differently
than
we
have
in
the
past,
and
we
see
ourselves
as
more
of
a
unified
body
than
we
are.
C
So
we
can
begin
to
change
this
perception,
both
internally
and
externally,
that
there's
some
chaos
going
on
here
that
this
isn't
a
body
that
gets
along
that
this
isn't
a
body
that
can't
work
together,
because
this
is
a
body
that
can
work
together,
and
that
has
and
does
and
I
hope
that
we
continue
to
do
that
and
I
hope
that
we
begin
to
internalize
that
what
we
really
are
and
that
the
community
begins
to
internalize
that.
C
So
we
have
a
healthier
environment
for
us,
for
the
community,
for
our
staff,
for
everyone,
and
so
I
just
want
to
leave
us
on
that
in
this
Thanksgiving
season.
I
am
thankful
for
all
of
you.
AT
A
AM
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
have
been
meeting
with
different
departments
and
I'm
very
proud
of
the
city.
I've
met
with
the
police
department
been
very
impressed.
The
fire
department
very
impressed
actually
last
Wednesday,
my
father-in-law
was
having
complications
in
the
fire
department
came
and
took
really
good
care
of
him.
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
that.
I've
met
with
human
services
and
administrative
services,
and
everyone
has
been
very
welcoming,
I
appreciate
all
of
the
hard
work
that
our
staff
does.
I
know.
AM
We
don't
say
that
enough,
but
I
want
to
be
clear
to
say
that
and
I
still
have
a
bunch
of
groups
to
meet
with,
but
they've
opened
their
arms
to
me
and
I
appreciate
that
excuse
me
and
I
have
second
war.
We
have
a
meeting
tomorrow
at
7
pm
at
eths
High
School
in
the
South
cafeteria,
so
I
look
forward
to
seeing
everyone
there
and
Ray
Freeman
I'm
going
to
count
on
you
to
help
me
record.
A
That
concludes
call
of
the
words
and
council
member
new
Smith
is
recognized
to
make
a
motion
pursuant.
H
To
five
Illinois
compiled
statutes,
120-2a
I,
move
that
the
city
council
convened
into
executive
session
to
discuss
agenda
items
regarding
Personnel,
Collective,
negotiating
and
litigation.
These
agenda
items
are
permitted
subjects
to
be
considered
in
executive
session
and
our
enumerated
exceptions
under
the
open
meetings
act
as
set
forth
in
five
ilcs
120-2a
sections,
C1,
C2
and
C11
second
council.
A
Member
newsman
moves
that
the
city
council
adjourning
to
resolve
itself
as
an
executive
session
for
the
items
previously
mentioned
council
member
win
seconds.
Is
there
any
discussion
seeing
none
of
the
clerk?
Please
take
the
role
councilmember.
