A
B
A
Right
everybody
everybody's
here:
do
we
have
a
group
here
in
the
audience
from
allowance
for
good
I
was
told
we're
going
to
a
student
group
here
tonight,
but
I
don't
see
anyone
not
that
everybody
doesn't
look
young
out
there.
So,
okay,
all
right!
Well,
the
the
one
announcement
that
I
want
to
make
sure
everybody
is
clear
about.
A
Is
the
citizen
police
complaint
assessment
committee
which
the
City
Council
created
applications
are
in
progress
right
now
we
are
accepting
applications
until
July,
28th,
okay,
we're
giving
30
days
for
applications,
so
we've
had
13
people
that
have
submitted
an
application
to
be
on
that
committee.
There
will
be
nine
people
on
that
committee,
and
so,
if
you
are
interested
in
applying
to
be
on
that
committee,
just
go
ahead
and
google
citizen
police
complaint
assessment
committee
and
you
will
find
it
on
the
city
website
and
again,
July
20th
is
the
deadline
city
manager
to
have
any
announcements.
A
C
Mayor
members
of
the
council
good
evening,
I
just
want
to
plug
this
coming
weekend's
world
art
music
festival.
This
is
a
new
approach
that
we're
taking
to
a
lakefront
festival,
lots
of
exciting
things,
we're
going
to
divide
things
up
by
continent,
so
that
you'll
have
an
Africa
area,
Europe
area,
Asia,
South,
America,
North,
America,
and
then
a
fair
trade
area
of
vendors,
so
there'll
be
music
and
food
and
all
that
it
is
Saturday
July.
C
The
15th
and
Sunday
July
16th
from
12
to
7
at
Dawes
Park
on
the
lakefront,
so
very
excited
thank
Lauren
coming
away
and
our
parks,
recreation,
Community,
Services
staff
for
kind
of
rethinking
this
festival.
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
more.
You
can
different.
As
you
know,
we
are
not
doing
the
lakefront
arts
festival
any
longer.
So
this
is
our
main
lakefront
festival
for
the
year,
so
very
excited
about
it,
encourage
everyone
to
come
out.
B
A
Okay,
so
if
so,
we've
got
15
people
on
here
that
have
signed
up
our
rules,
allow
for
45
minutes
of
public
comments.
So
today
everybody
will
get
three
minutes.
If
you
need
the
three
minutes,
if
you
can
get
across
your
message
in
less
than
three
minutes,
we
welcome
that
everybody
else
in
the
room
welcomes
that,
as
always.
A
The
reason
that
we
have
a
time
limit
is
we
want
to
be
respectful
of
the
other
folks
in
the
public
here
who
want
to
make
comments
so
at
2:45
I
will
let
you
know
if
you're
still
talking
that
you've
got
15
more
seconds
to
wrap
it
up.
Okay,
so
please
be
considerate
of
everybody
in
the
room,
including
the
council
members
up
here.
So
the
first
person
up
is
Dan
Joseph
and
if
you
guys
can
make
sure
to
give
your
name
in
case
I
mangle
it.
That
would
be
wonderful.
Thank
you,
I!
Don't.
D
Hope
the
same
happens.
Everybody
else
Evanston
has
a
one-time
non
matching
grant
for
transit.
That
requires
the
occlusion
of
older,
older
adults
and
people
with
disabilities.
I
suggest
a
pilot
program
for
a
scheduled
free
bus
service
on
Emerson
and
dodge
from
downtown
Evanston
to
the
Howard
McCormack
Plaza,
Everson,
dodge
and
Howard.
This
will
benefit
everyone
by
using
regularly
regular
scheduled
service,
provide
access
on
Sunday
for
Westside
Evan,
stone,
Ian's
to
employment,
religious
services,
the
levy
Center
and
shopping
Westside.
Revit
residents
have
not
had
basic
crosstown
transit
service.
D
D
E
I'm
Tom
ward,
we
have
a
business
at
22:30,
Main,
Street,
board,
manufacturing
and
I
just
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
sick
leave
ordinance
that
passed
last
week,
we've
been
in
Evanston
for
65
years.
We've
got
50
employees
and
we
have
a
generous
compensation
plan
for,
for
all
of
our
employees
were
a
responsible
employer
here
in
in
Evanston.
E
We
exceed
the
minimum
wage
requirement
now,
so
it's
I'd,
you
know,
there's
no
I
can't
say
that
that's
not
absolutely
fair
and
warranted
I
believe
in
that
this
ordinance
will
cost
us
approximately
$50,000
a
year
in
in
sick
leave,
and
on
top
of
that
people
not
showing
up
for
work
which
will
happen,
it
will
cause
loss
of
production,
which
is
a
problem.
You
know
I.
E
E
There
are
ways
to
adjust
and
adapt,
but
I
just
ask
that
that
we
continue
to
talk
about
it,
because
some
small
businesses,
I
think,
will
be
impacted
greatly
by
I
know
because
we
looked
at
it:
administrative,
lea
mmediately,
we
kind
of
scratched
our
heads
and
said:
well,
we
can
we've
got
a
team
of
people.
We've
got
people
to
deal
with
this.
We've
got.
You
know,
payroll
services
that
can
help
us
manage
this,
but
I
think
we're
not
maybe
the
norm.
E
F
Good
evening
my
name
is
Dave
Cantor,
I'm
counsel
for
the
pavement
coatings
technology
Council,
a
trade
association
which
represents
the
interests
of
manufacturers
of
coal
tar,
pavement
sealing
sealants,
some
of
whom
will
be
directly
and
significantly
impacted
by
the
coal
tire
sealant
ordinance.
That's
up
for
vote.
Today,
I
was
given
three
minutes
at
the
Human
Services
Committee
on
June
5th.
To
try
to
give
my
side
of
the
story.
I
was
given
one
minute
at
the
City
Council
meeting
on
June
26.
To
try
to
give
my
side
of
the
story
can't
be
done.
F
During
the
public
comment
period,
I've
sent
materials
to
each
of
you,
I
wrote
to
mayor
Haggerty
immediately
after
the
City
Council
meeting
on
June
26
I've
asked
multiple
times
for
the
opportunity
to
make
a
presentation
to
the
environment,
bulb
environment
board
the
Human
Services
Committee,
or
the
City
Council,
explaining
the
other
side
of
the
story.
You've
only
heard
one
side
of
the
story:
the
Environment
Board
received
information
from
the
League
of
Women
Voters,
which
had
considered
I'm
familiar
with
the
League
of
Women
Voters.
F
My
mother
was
very
active
in
the
League
of
Women
Voters
in
the
60s
and
70s.
This
is
not
my
mother's
League
of
Women
Voters.
They
are
not
a
science-based
group.
They
never
have
been
they're
an
advocacy
group.
In
fact
they
surrender
their
501c3
status
to
do
that.
The
environment
board
heard
their
side
of
the
story.
At
the
two
meetings
I've
attended,
I've
heard
misinformation
from
the
club
about
coal
tar
sealants
from
the
League
of
Women
Voters
I've
heard
blatant
misinformation
from
about
the
human
health
effects,
purportedly
associated
with
exposure
to
coal.
F
Tar
sealants
from
another
advocacy
group
called
physicians
for
Social,
Responsibility
and
I've
heard
incorrect
information
about
the
use
and
availability
of
coal
tar
sealants
in
Evanston
from
mr.
stone
back
I've
been
waiting
and
waiting
for
the
opportunity
to
prevent
to
present
the
other
side
of
the
story
and
that
opportunity
is
never
going
to
be
given
so
I
ask
three
rhetorical
questions
tonight.
First,
why
is
the
City
Council
of
Evanston
committed
to
passing
an
ordinance
when
it's
only
heard
one
side
of
the
story
and
repeatedly
refused
here
the
other
side
of
the
story?
F
Why
is
the
City
Council
of
Evanston
committed
to
passing
an
ordinance
that
is
not
based
on
science
and
3?
Why
is
a
City
Council
of
Evanston
committed
to
passing
an
ordinance
without
having
any
evidence
that
you
have
a
problem?
You
haven't
run
a
single
test
to
see
if
you
have
elevated
levels
of
PAHs
or
PAHs
from
coal,
tar,
sealants
in
water,
soil
or
sediment,
not
a
single
test.
F
This
is
not
a
science-based
decision,
you're
making
or
science-based
ordinance.
You
are
voting
on.
In
fact,
it
is
a
solution
in
search
of
a
problem,
I'm
disappointed
and,
as
you
can
probably
tell,
can
tell
frustrated
and
at
a
loss
to
understand
your
lack
of
interest
in
hearing
from
my
client
and
hearing
both
sides
of
the
story
on
the
ordinance
you're
going
to
be
voting
on
tonight.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
G
Well,
I'm
disappointed
too,
but
not
a
glob
of
that
issue.
There's
plenty
of
others.
Some
the
citizens
of
Evanston
need
a
major
voice
in
mr.
babka
witches
performance
review
this
year.
The
chaotic
operation
of
the
city
and
its
deteriorating
budget
picture
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
state
budget
or
Haile
Clark
with
the
midpoint
of
the
year.
Now
we're
told
of
a
budget
crisis.
While
it's
been
hit
it
at
all
year,
I'm
wondering
how
much
did
this
play
out
with
mister
Bava
quits
looking
for
another
job
and
not
really
talking
to
us
sooner.
G
The
issues
I
want
to
outline
some
of
my
concerns
when
I
talk
about
performance
here,
borrowing
against
a
line
of
credit
to
support,
questionable
TIF
activities
and
the
tunes
of
millions
of
dollars.
Increments
are
supposed
to
be
coming
back
from
the
tips
that
never
came
and
we're
borrowing
money
against
the
revolving
lines.
A
pattern
of
misuse
of
the
general
refunded
m'sieur
to
support
bankrupt
ifs,
basically
taking
money
out
of
the
general
fund
using
them
participant
ooh.
A
million
dollars
has
been
misused.
This
way,
the
misuse
of
the
$20,000
role
continually
occurring
here,
the
most
famous.
G
Of
course,
is
the
patio
on
Howard
Street,
but
it
was
recently
said:
I
need
by
a
city.
Employee
I
wrote
a
contract.
It
was
under
20,
but
I'm
coming
back
for
more
money,
that's
really
a
violation
of
the
$20,000
rule.
By
the
way,
numerous
gifts,
I
believe
private
parties
at
Northwestern
University
with
no
return
to
the
taxpayers.
One
of
the
most
obvious
was
the
water
reservoir
that
over
20
million
dollars
and
we're
worried
about
people's
water
bills
being
turned
off.
G
That
was
really
outrageous
too
many
unnecessary
lawsuits
against
the
city
from
one
from
a
former
director
and
now
the
James
Park
mess
this
approached
over
three
million
dollars.
There
are
many
issues
here
with
staff
and
operations.
One
of
the
most
biggest
red
flags
was
when
mr.
Bob
Jewett's
appointed
the
police
chief
to
run
a
city's
fire
department
on
an
interim
basis,
as
one
new
council
member
pointed
out
on
Harley
Clark.
Why
did
we
spend
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
rebirth?
Two
garages.
G
I
personally
asked
the
rec
board
not
to
remove
this
from
the
capital
plan
and
they
did
remove
it,
but
guess
what
he
came
back,
but
mr.
Bob
poets,
the
most
disturbing
issue
here,
which
I
believe
the
public
may
not
be
quite
aware
of,
is
how
mr.
Bokka,
which
has
treated
staff
here
I,
spoke
privately
to
recreation
department.
Employees
who
told
me
Harley
Clark,
could
support
numerous
programs,
but
a
few
weeks
later,
those
same
employees
would
not
talk
to
me.
G
I
find
that
very
disturbing
that,
basically
we're
manipulating
things
here
for
then
we're
not
being
truthful,
I
believe
mr.
Baca,
which
should
be
under
probation
for
his
performance,
his
salary,
frozen
I
believe
an
outside
independent
HR
consultant
should
be
brought
in
to
investigate
performance
reporting
to
a
committee
of
neutral
council
members,
possibly
some
of
the
new
council
members
and
citizens
mayor
Haggerty,
15
more
seconds.
You
stated
mr.
babka,
which
was
an
outstanding
city
manager,
I,
don't
believe
you
should
have
a
seat
on
that
committee.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
H
Evening,
mr.
mayor
and
city
council,
I'm
Casey
Christiansen
a
proud
member
of
the
League
of
Women
Voters,
and
this
year
co-president
of
Devon
Stan
League
I,
just
want
to
say
a
couple
things
about
the
coal-tar
sealant
I
want
to
encourage
you
tonight
to
vote
for
the
ban
of
the
use
of
coal
tar
sealant
in
the
city
of
Evanston.
At
the
last
city
council
meeting,
a
number
of
people
spoke
in
favor
of
this
band,
and
tonight
I
just
wanted
to
simplify
our
message.
H
We
believe
that
this
ordinance
would
ensure
that
no
one
unwittingly
hires
a
contractor
who
could
apply
coal,
tar
sealant,
not
knowing
the
effects
of
the
PAHs
alternatives
and,
secondly,
alternative
sealants
are
available
at
the
same
or
modestly
higher
price.
The
ban
would
not
impose
undue
harm
on
homeowners
or
businesses.
H
H
I
Good
evening
mr.
mayor
City,
Council,
I'm,
Karen,
Kortright
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
about
the
continued
discussion
about
the
use
of
the
Harley,
Clark,
mansion
and
I.
Think
tonight
you
are
set
to
accept
an
RFP
I
have
a
recommend
as
an
opinion
about
something
that
should
be
included
in
that
RFP,
and
that
is
that
it
explicitly
require
that
the
the
people
who
are
granted
the
lease
for
that
facility
be
required
to
do
outreach
and
specific
services
for
the
underserved
communities
in
Evanston.
This
location,
the
Harley,
Clark
location,
beautiful,
lovely,
great
beach.
I
I
It's
not
frequent
during
the
day
in
the
summer
and
I
think
that
we
should
be
very
explicit
that
this
facility
overcome
the
fact
that
it's
in
a
very
well-to-do
neighborhood,
and
we
know
that
community
recreation
facilities
tend
to
serve
those
within
a
certain
radius
of
the
location
and
that
radius
is
a
very
well
served.
Part
of
our
population
and
I
like
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
assume
that,
just
if
there
are
school
programs,
for
example,
that
are
being
offered
at
that
facility
that
we
are
doing
explicit
outreach
and
programming
for
the
underserved
communities.
J
Good
evening,
mayor
city
manager
and
also
members
of
the
council,
I'm
Carlos
Sutton
I
reside
at
1821,
Darrell,
Avenue
and
I
want
to
make
comments
on
concerns
that
have
really
upset
me
over
the
last
couple
meetings.
My
concern
is
that
there
seems
to
be
a
misconception
that
there's
a
conflict
in
our
community
about
funding
harley
clark
and
not
adequately
funding
Fleetwood
Jourdain
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that
there
is
no
division
and
we
won't
accept
one
in
our
community
that
pits
one
group
against
the
other.
It
does
not
exist
and
we
won't
tolerate
it.
J
There's
no
conflict
in
funding,
Harley
Clarke
at
the
expense
of
neglecting
sweet
words
or
Dave
I
want
every
one,
and
everyone
in
that
must
know
that
the
fifth
Ward
should
have
access
to
our
ocean.
I
mean
Lake,
Michigan
and
Lake
run
through
Harley
Clark.
My
concerns
are
that
the
building
will
always
have
access
to
the
public
and
all
Kevin
stone
ends.
Thank
you.
Thank.
K
Good
evening,
Linda
dama
Scheck
I
am
coming
with
a
very
specific
request
to
change
the
wording
of
the
RFP
under
consideration
this
evening,
I'm,
specifically
referring
to
page
43
of
the
packet
in
the
first
paragraph
sentence.
Talking
about
I,
believe
that
these
words
should
be
replaced
and
offer
public
access.
And/Or
experience
and
I
request
that
they
be
replaced
with
the
words
create
a
high-quality
public
use
consistent
with
the
lakefront
master
plan.
K
I
believe
that,
what's
in
the
proposal
only
saying
public
access
is
way
too
limited
a
goal
and
using
the
word
merely
experience
is
way
too
vague.
Public
use
is
very
clear
in
the
focus
for
substantive
public
use
for
every
single
resident
in
the
city
of
Evanston
all
Ward's.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
L
Mary
residence,
Caleb
and
Chancellor
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
this
woman
ahead
of
me
with
the
white
was
saying
about
outreach
to
all
of
Evanston.
That
is
something
when
I
think
I
know:
Park
fail,
I'm
part
of
the
lake
house,
crew
I'm
on
the
deja
komen
foundation,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
stressed
for
the
last
four
years
was
opening
up
this
space
and
making
it
accessible
to
all
of
Evanston
residents
and
I've
heard
previously
into
white
Beach.
L
It's
a
white
area,
no
one's
going
to
go
there
and
I
like
we're
talking
equity
right
now
in
this
town,
and
why
we
keep
going
there
too.
That's
the
white
Beach
is
crazy
and
if
anything,
the
City
Council
should
be
getting
to
make
sure.
Maybe
there's
a
bus
more
frequently
going
down
to
her
Lee
Clerk
these
whoever
ends
up
using
it,
but
I
do
want
to
make
it
known
that
over
the
last
couple
years,
we
reached
out
to
the
Aaron
Mitchell
museum
to
see
if
they
would
do
some
programming
there.
L
In
conjunction
we
reached
out
to
Shore
front
and
last
year
Dasia
a
common.
We
approached
the
city
to
be
able
to
do
our
awards
there,
and
so
it
is
a
place
that
I
think
a
lot
of
different
people,
wouldn't
we'd
I,
mean
would
use
short
front,
has
not
responded,
but
we
thought
that
they
should
have
a
space
in
that
building
so
that
all
the
kids,
white
and
black
will
be
able
to
see
in
the
museum.
L
The
eternal
Robinson
has
created
and
there's
a
lot
of
variety
of
kids,
racial,
culturally
and
ethnically
all
over
at
the
beaches
for
the
camps,
a
design
of
the
beach
and
there's
no
reason
why
there
could
not
extend
into
the
Harley
Clark
is
one
of
their
experiences.
So
I
just
want
to
reiterate
the
program
that
was
out
there
from
the
lake
house.
L
M
Thank
You
mayor
city
manager,
City
Council,
first
of
all,
I
say
thanks
to
seam
agency
staff,
you
guys
did
equipped
around
the
RFP
appreciate
that
over
the
what
was
a
holiday
weekend.
So
thank
you
guys
for
for
paying
attention
to
this.
We
have
been
at
this
for
five
years,
and
so,
while
I
appreciate
being
responsive
and
getting
this
done,
I
don't
think
we
should
rush
in
this
process
and
we
should
take
the
time
to
hear
comments
and
make
sure
we
do
get
it
right.
M
We
have
a
few
comments
on
the
RFP
that
we
would
like
some
clarifications
and
potentially
some
changes
on
the
timing
of
the
RFP.
We
know
that
it's
longer
than
most
other
RFPs
of
the
city
puts
out
probably
warranted,
given
how
special
this
place
is
and
the
nature
of
what
we're
talking
about
here.
An
award
made
in
January
of
2018
will
likely
mean
that
the
building
is
not
open
for
next
summer,
which
would
be
a
shame,
be
great
to
get
things
going
over
there
with
whoever
the
successful
bidder
is.
M
It
also
means
that
if
the
award
is
not
made
so
January
2018,
any
successful
bidder
will
miss
out
on
year-end
fundraising
in
2017,
which
is
a
critical
time
for
nonprofits
to
be
fundraising
at
year-end.
Then
the
RFP
makes
no
mention
of
the
tune
or
$50,000
that
was
allocated
by
council
in
September
2016.
We
were
just
like
clarification
around
those
funds
and
how
they'll
be
used
if
they'll
be
invested
alongside
a
successful
bidder,
we
think
that's
important
that
any
bidder
would
want
to
know
how
that
those
funds
will
be
used.
M
The
RFP
says
no
other
land
will
be
included
just
the
buildings.
We
obviously
have
talked
about
investing
in
restoration
of
the
Jensens
landscape
and
promoting
that
sort
of
environmental
and
cultural
tourism.
So
we'd
like
clarification
regarding
the
Jennison
gardens
and
if
investment
there
is
something
that
a
bitter
should
consider
you
know,
given
all
the
past
process,
that's
gone
on
citizens
committee,
the
open
houses
that
were
advertised
by
the
city,
the
Harley
Clark
planning
committee
has
been
a
lot
of
process.
M
We
think
the
criteria
should
be
more
specific
references
to
lakefront
master
plan
with
strength
in
it
equity
references.
At
the
conversation
we're
having
right
now
we're
very
committed
to
this.
You
know
something
about
the
greatest
good
for
the
greatest
number
in
the
long
term,
not
just
in
the
old
nonprofit.
M
There
are
a
couple
things
around
insurance
in
minority
women
and
Evanson
based
businesses,
where
we
think
those
definitely
should
be
in
the
lease
contract,
maybe
not
in
the
proposal
phase
for
a
start-up
nonprofit.
We
purchase
insurance
unless
we
were
the
successful
bidder
so
to
require
that
we
have
insurance
in
the
proposal.
Phase
may
be
a
bit
out
of
order
and
we
just
like
some
clarification
there.
M
N
Her
charcoal
I've
been
a
resident
of
the
city
for
over
40
years
now
and
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
minimum
wage
organs.
I
think
this
could
be
a
situation
with
unintended
consequences.
I'm
not
personally
affected
either
way.
It's
not
going
to
affect
me
personally,
but
I
think
it
could
be
a
mistake
where
they've
tried
this
or
where
they've
done
this
they
find
employees.
Hours
are
cut
so
they're,
not
making
him
more
money.
They
were
before,
and
young
people,
teenagers
and
young
adults
need
to
have
an
opportunity
to
get
a
job
for
the
first
time.
N
N
O
We,
the
environment
board,
encourages
you
to
pass
this
ordinance.
Citizens
greener,
I'm,
a
board
member
of
citizens.
Greater
Evanston
I
also
encourage
you
to
pass
the
ordinance
I'm
proud
of
what
the
city
is
done.
Environmentally
and
I'd
like
you
to
continue
to
do
the
right
thing.
I
disagree
with
a
previous
speaker.
I
believe
this
is
a
science-based
decision.
It
is
not
just.
P
Could
evening
I'm
Wendy
co-chair
of
the
Environment
board
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
having
given
do
weighed
in
in
the
occult
art
banned
issue
to
the
scientific
evidence
from
agencies
whose
only
mission
is
to
look
out
for
the
public
health
and
environmental
health.
The
evidence
is
there.
The
Environment
board
recommended
that
you
passed
it.
As
you
know,
we
operate
under
the
Open
Meetings
Act
when
citizens
come
to
make
comments
or
anybody
else
they
are
listened
to.
We
have
this
on
our
agenda
and
mr.
Cantor
did
not
come
to
any
meetings.
P
So
what
he
just
said
was
not
true.
He
would
have
been
absolutely
free
to
come
and
lay
out
his
case
there,
but
we
were
aware
of
it
at
the
time
and
we
did
give
it
consideration.
I
did
want
to
mention
on
a
personal,
though
my
husband
is
a
doctor
at
an
old
public
health
person
from
the
state
of
New
Jersey,
and
he
has
told
me
this
is
one
of
the
oldest
cases
in
the
books
of
public
health.
P
What
we
haven't
talked
enough
about
what
it
does
to
the
workers
who
have
to
work
with
these
aromatic
substances
it.
It
is
very
bad
for
their
lungs
and
their
their
cases,
their
studies
going
back
into
the
19th
century
of
actually
sort
of
proceeding.
This
of
chimney
sweeps
and
the
effect
on
chimney
sweeps
and
some
of
the
oldest
public
health
studies
in
the
world.
P
And
finally,
it's
really
a
no-brainer.
We
just
had
our
driveway
resealed
this
week.
It
never
even
came
up
it.
She
there
were
a
ton
of
fumes,
there
were
there
they're
using
other
materials.
So
it's
really
not
something
that
you
should
have
to
think
about
too
hard
I
hope
you'll
vote
for
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
Q
Hi
I'm
Leslie
shad
I'm,
also
on
the
board
of
citizens,
green
or
Evanston,
in
support
of
the
coal
tar
ban
and
to
support
what
they
have
said.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
the
American
Medical
Association
is
also
strongly
supporting
bans
on
coal
tar
sealants.
They
released
a
report
in
November
2016,
which
is
a
science-based
organization,
I,
believe
they
also
in
reference
to
what
Wendy
said
they
for
people
who
have
lifelong
exposure
to
coal
tar
sealants.
Q
They
have
a
38
fold
higher
risk
of
cancer,
so
I
mean
it's
real,
so
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
and
on
Harley
Clark
I'm
I've
not
been
engaged
in
that
issue
deeply,
but
I
just
hope
that
whatever
you
do
for
Harley
Clark's,
you
protect
the
natural
environment
there
that
we
have
so
little
natural
environment
on
the
beach.
That
is
truly,
you
know
a
limited
of
acreage
for
the
populace,
so
I
just
want
to
whatever
happens
whether
you
lease
or
not,
with
what
goes,
but
I
hope
you'll
protect
the
natural
environment
there.
That's
it.
R
I'm
Priscilla,
Giles
and
I
want
to
speak
to
I
guess
the
hearts
of
the
people
on
the
council,
and
that
is
I,
was
at
the
150
meeting.
I'll
call
it
at
Dollywood
Jourdain
and
we
were
asked
what
we
would
like
to
see
and
we
told
what
we
would
like
to
see.
None
of
that
has
happened,
nothing
that
the
residents
there
spoke
about.
R
What
we
do
see
is
a
lot
of
high
rises
that
have
bought
out
so
that
they
don't
have
to
house
the
people
who
are
being
lost
from
Evanston
who
are
being
sent
to
other
cities.
They
are
receiving
our
poor
when
we
can
take
care
of
our
poor
ourselves
and
I.
Wonder.
Is
this
the
equity
that
Ellison
boast
I'll.
S
Really
the
public,
the
city
and
the
lake
house
group
had
already
gone
through
a
process
for
years,
including
the
RFP
and
the
RFI.
There
were
six
years
of
meetings
directive
surveys,
community
engagement
and
thousands
of
residents
have
come
out
in
droves
on
this,
the
process
of
community
involvement.
S
The
culmination
of
all
this
process
was
the
Harley
Clark
Committee,
convened
by
the
city,
which
recommended
the
lake
house
plan
process
in
coming
up
with
a
second
round
of
RFP
after
you
already
had
an
RFP
feels
like
the
Council
of
the
city,
I
hope
not
are
trying
to
contort
the
process
to
have
an
outcome
that
they
like,
and
this
is
concerning
to
me
also
through
an
official
process.
The
City
Council
voted
unanimously
to
approve
$250,000
allocated
for
basic
repairs
to
harlot
Clark.
This
came
after
great
work
and
support
from
the
community.
S
That
too
is
lawful
process.
The
community-based
lake
house
group,
our
homegrown
Evan
stone
Ian's
who
to
no
gain
for
themselves,
simply
want
to
make
this
happen
for
the
community,
so
our
best
chance
to
keep
this
beautiful,
iconic
building
in
Evanston
at
little
or
no
cost
to
the
city
and
give
us
an
incredible
unique
asset,
with
a
commitment
to
every
kid
in
Evanston
to
every
person
in
Evanston
and
to
experience
something
beautiful
as
alderman
Robin
drew
in
the
last
council
meeting
articulated
with
her
first.
S
Hopefully
many
experiences
at
the
late
at
the
Lighthouse
Beach
in
the
mansion.
The
beach
and
the
lake
house
can
truly
belong
to
everyone
now,
I'm,
hoping
and
believing
that
the
RFP
is
truly
happening
in
good
faith,
like
Dan
Wilson,
said
to
simply
make
sure
the
language
matches
his
original
resolution
and
that
just
to
get
another
outcome,
I
hope
the
council
follows
the
process.
Their
citizens
themselves
have
followed
in
good
play
for
years,
and
their
own
committee
recommends
the
Evanston
lake
house
plant.
Thank
you
thank.
A
You
thank
you
Kara,
okay,
all
right.
That
concludes
public
comment.
We're
now
going
to
go
into
special
orders
of
business.
We
have
several
special
orders
of
business
tonight
at
the
council
meeting,
given
the
public
comments
that
were
made,
we're
going
to
change
the
order
in
which
we
address
these.
So
the
first
one
that
I'd
like
as
a
council
for
us
to
have
a
conversation
on
is
SP
5,
which
is
request
for
proposal.
At
least
the
Harley
Clark
mansion
at
2603.
A
So
is
there
any
conversation
that
would
like
to
be
having
this
and
I
would
and
I
would
ask
just
the
council
members
I
really
appreciate.
I
know
everybody
up.
It
really
appreciates
folks
coming
out
on
their
time
to
talk
to
us.
So
let's
keep
in
mind
the
the
points
that
were
raised
by
different
speakers.
As
we
have
the
conversation
tonight,
alderman
Revell.
T
T
All
the
move,
and
then
just
a
couple
paragraphs
later,
as
stated,
only
the
building
set
forth
in
this
RFP
and
then
I
propose
we
add,
in
parentheses,
together
with
the
adjacent
gents,
gents
and
Gardens,
are
for
consideration
for
lease
and
that
we
would
also
then
add
an
exhibit
at
the
end
of
the
RFP
process.
That
would
basically
give
a
drawing
that
shows
the
extent
of
the
gemstones
and
gardens
so
be
clear
that
you
know
we're
not
talking
about
the
whole
lighthouse
landing
area
and
further
under
insurance.
T
Just
to
make
it
clear
that
the
insurance
would
be
required
of
the
successful
bidder
as
part
of
the
lease
agreement
and
not
something
that
would
be
required
just
as
part
of
a
proposal.
So
the
successful
bidder
shall
carry
and
maintain
its
own
at
its
own
cost,
etc,
etc.
And
then
this
next
paragraph
as
part
of
the
lease
agreement,
the
successful
bidder
must
provide
an
insurance
certificate
etcetera.
T
But
it
would
it's
really
primitive.
It's
not
a
normal
kind
of
a
bid
where
they
would
already
be
able
to
be
in
kind
of
a
contract
negotiations
with
actual
businesses
to
do
the
work
in
the
evaluation
criteria.
Here,
the
my
changes
are
basically
I.
Think
what
the
role
I'm
proposing
is
that
I
guess
we'd
have
a
review
committee.
That
would
be
city
staff.
Who
would
look
at
the
proposals
and
basically
look
at
them
for
completeness
make
sure
that
the
information
was
accurate
as
best
they
could
tell.
T
But
then
all
the
proposals
that
would
be
submitted
would
come
to
the
whole
City
Council
that
we
would
ourselves
make
a
selection
from
looking
at
all
the
proposals,
rather
than
asking
staff
to
make
that
recommendation
to
us
under
the
ABCDE
I
suggest
rewarding
e
to
say
that
we
would
look
for
a
commitment
to
meeting
the
city's
MWBE
participation
goal
and
then
moving
along
under
selection
process.
It
would
again
make
it
clear
that
it's
the
City
Council
that's
going
to
select
the
proposal
rather
than
reacting
to
recommendations
from
a
review
committee.
U
Thank
you
and
I
think
alderman
Belle's
revisions
addressed
a
lot
of
the
things
that
were
raised
at
the
public
comment
and
I
had
a
lot
of
these
concerns
as
well,
particularly
I.
Think
it
is
important
to
include
reference
to
the
lakefront
master
plan
to
ensure
that
it
is
is
consistent
and
we
should
have
a
drawing
that
very
clearly
delineates,
exactly
which
portions
of
the
property
we're
talking
about.
So
there
is
no
misunderstandings,
obviously
misunderstandings
on
the
scope
of
the
property
or
an
issue
in
the
past.
U
With
regard
to
lost
my
page
here,
Albin
Ravel
on
the
WBE
goals,
I
think
we're
going
to
try
to
tailor
the
language
I
think
it's
what
you
suggested
consistent
with
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish,
but
try
to
tailor
the
language
to
our
existing
requirements
in
it.
For
example,
people
are
allowed
to
try
to
get
if
they
have
a
reason
for
a
waiver
leave
a
waiver
language
in
there.
You
wouldn't
want
to
preclude
that
if
there
was
some
sort
of
reason
for
that
and.
U
C
I
think
mr.
mayor
aldermen
wills,
members
of
the
council
I
think
what
all
Rudolf's
it
makes.
A
lot
of
sense.
I
think
that
staff
can
review
for
completeness,
can
review
to
make
sure
the
terms
and
conditions
are,
are
met
and
provide
a
report
to
the
council.
I
would
not
want
to
make
a
qualitative
evaluation.
Okay,.
U
V
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
had
some
of
the
same
concerns.
I
guess
under
2.0
scope
of
services,
I'd
wanted
to
find
a
public
use
for
the
space.
It
seems
to
be
overly
general
I'm,
assuming
that
there
can
be
wording
put
in
that
that
allows
for
public
use
of
the
space,
but
that
the
building
is
not
necessarily
100%
public
use,
I
mean
I,
guess
what
I'm
thinking
is
that
I
don't
want
to
discourage
somebody
from
coming
forward.
V
Who
may
have
an
ID
for
public
use
of
part
of
the
building,
but
not
another
part
of
the
building.
So
I'm
not
sure
whether
this
represents
100%,
public
use
or
or
not,
but
I
would
wanted
to
find
that
a
little
bit
more
a
little
bit
more
carefully.
So
I
but
I
agree
with
the
consistent
with
a
2008
master
plan
and
a
couple
paragraphs
down
where
it
says.
V
Together
with
the
adjacent
gens
Jensen
Gardens,
there
may
be
someone
who
comes
forward
who
wants
to
use
the
building
but
is
interested
in
community
maintenance
and
care
of
the
gardens
which
I
think
someone
may
be
miss
shad,
or
someone
mentioned
tonight
about
a
concern
about
the
gardens.
I
could
see
that
happening
so
I'm,
not
sure
that
it's
in
our
best
interest
to
tie
the
gardens
to
the
building
at
this
point,
I
think
that
can
be
for
a
further
discussion
and
would
probably
be
a
better
discussion.
V
Then
having
that
be
a
requirement
as
far
as
the
MW
EBE
goals,
I
agree
with
alderman
Wilson.
You
know
some
of
this
comes
from
a
language
that
we
put
in
all
of
our
RFPs
and
I,
even
though
this
is
a
unique
RFP
that
were
that
we're
sending
out
I
don't,
and
someone
can
certainly
say
reasons
for
their
not
being
able
to
comply.
V
A
W
W
The
reason
I'm
saying
that
is
because,
when
you
don't
have
that
it
frequently
takes
up
hours
and
hours
of
staff,
time
of
people
calling
up
asking
questions
that
they
could
have
had
answered,
or
at
least
visual
they
could
have
had
taken
care
of
it
previously.
I
just
cannot
imagine
somebody
submitting
a
proposal
on
this
project
that
has
not
been
present
at
a
pre-bid
or
a
walkthrough.
Just
can't
imagine
it,
and
it's
been
made
very
clear
and
here
several
times
that
you
don't
need
to
be
present
and
I
think
we
need
to
require
it.
W
W
C
Of
them
rating
members
of
the
council
again,
this
is
largely
standard
language,
so
we
depend
on
the
proposer
to
choose
what
they
think
is
best
to
demonstrate
that
normally,
that
is
sufficient.
If
you
would
like
to
be
more
specific,
we
can,
but
normally
in
the
past,
we
just
asked
the
general
question
to
depend
on
the
proposer
to
be
a
specific
aesthetic,
as
appropriate.
W
X
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
think
I
agree
with
most
of
the
comments
that
everyone
has
made.
I
do
think,
even
though
it
is
an
introductory
paragraph
that
the
first
paragraph
should
be
modified
to
indicate
that
to
follow
the
scope
of
services,
language
on
page
five,
which
alderman
Ravello
suggested
saying,
create
a
high
quality
public
use
for
the
space.
X
Me
is
much
too
vague
and
that
we
should
now
make
it
parallel
with
the
scope
of
services,
language
that
alderman
Ravel
is
suggesting
and
say
after
renovate
the
Holly
Clark
mansion
and
create
a
public
use
experience
to
make
sure
that
there's
that
we're
reinforcing
what
we're
interested
in
doing
so,
that
would
be
one
of
my
suggestions.
Then
I
agree
with
the
other
issues
that
have
been
raised
and
the
only
other
question
that
I
would
have
is
do
we
need.
Do
we
need
this
much
time?
X
Should
we
make
the
time
shorter,
as
was
suggested
during
one
of
the
public
comments,
and
that
that
is
a
question
I
think
for
probably
staff
to
say?
Is
this
a
typical
amount
of
time
that
we
have
that's
a
there's
a
there
really
is
almost
five
weeks
between
between
each
of
these
walkthroughs
that
we're
saying
optional
and
though
I
do
I
completely
agree
with
all
during
rainy
that
they
should
be
mandatory.
Do
we
need
them
to
be
so
widely
spaced
apart,
I
mean
we
could
speed
up
this
process
by
having
them
a
little
bit
closer
together.
Y
At
the
same
comment
in
terms
of
the
timeline,
if
we
could
look
at
making
shortening
the
timeline,
I
think
that
the
gentleman
looks
correct
with
energy
you're
giving
for
nonprofits,
and
so,
if
we
have
a
nonprofit
that
we
know
needs
to
raise
a
lot
of
money.
It
might
be
nice
for
them
to
have
access
to
the
building
towards
the
end
of
the
year
for
some
kind
of
fundraising
event.
U
U
Obviously
you
don't
have
to
attend
all
the
walkers
do
not
have
to
attend
a--,
but
at
one
of
the
pre-proposal
conferences
in
one
of
the
walkthroughs,
but
yet
we
can
kind
of
compress
those
walkthrough
schedule
a
little
bit
and
maybe
get
it
dialed
in
so
that
we
have
the
decision,
maybe
by
beginning
of
December
I
realize
it's
not.
You
know
tons
of
time
on
the
holiday
season,
but
at
least
you
know
if
the
submission
is
done
well
in
advance,
preparations
could
be
made
and
they
could
get
that
stuff
out
before
the
end
of
the
year.
Z
U
Right
just
kind
of
compressing
the
schedule
I
think
the
most
room
for
compression
would
probably
come
in
this
optional
walkthrough
period.
So
if
we'd
shorten
that
up
a
bit,
we
can
bring
in
the
last
day
to
submit
questions,
bring
that
up
maybe
a
month.
The
due
date
would
be
roughly
a
month
sooner
and
the
award
would
be
a
month
sooner
or
later
number
so.
C
C
C
AA
Agree
with
Ottoman
Ravel's
revisions
I
would
also
like
to
be
sure
that
we
and
also
moving
up
the
timeline
as
well.
In
addition,
specific
language
about
protecting
the
gardens.
I,
don't
know
if,
if
this
RFP
could
have
an
option
to
to
protect
the
gardens
or
how
we,
how
we
deal
with
that,
I
think
that
it
should
be
mandated
that
there
is
some
protection.
So
I
would
like
to
see
language
in
there
about
that,
and
I
would
like
to
see
a
strategic
plan,
as
was
mentioned
by
one
of
the
public
comments
for
inclusion
right.
V
The
house
figure
out
how
much
it
needs
how
much
they
can
do
and
I'd
rather
get
it
right
than
rush
it,
and
given
that,
if
this
doesn't
work,
if
this
RFP
doesn't
work,
then
we're
looking
at
not
good
scenarios
for
the
house.
I'd
rather
give
the
house
the
best
chance
that
it
has
to
find
just
the
right
nonprofit
that
can
afford
to
to
renovate
the
house
and
really
make
it
work
for
the
next.
V
W
Well,
I
was
going
to
suggest
that
we
do
the
walkthrough
and
the
pre
bids
one
and
one
together
in
close
proximity
to
each
other,
so
that
we
can
get
them
over
with
I.
Don't
see
why
there's
any
reason
to
split
this
out,
in
other
words,
have
walked
through
one
and
pre-bid
one
within
a
week
of
each
other
and
then
walk
through
two
and
free
bid
to
I
mean
so.
A
I'll,
just
chime
in
here,
because
I
was
the
one
that
had
suggested
that
in
my
in
my
edit
I
think
we
have
a
wonderful
opportunity
with
this
mansion
on
the
lake.
I.
Do
think
that
we
need
to
give
the
marketplace
at
adequate
time
and
what
that
means
is.
It
means
we
need.
We
need
to
get
out
there
and
we
need
to
market
this
opportunity
that
we
are.
A
You
know,
mandatory
pre-proposal
meeting
is
three
weeks
from
now
or
a
month
from
now,
and
the
walkthrough
is
right
after
that.
If
we
don't
have
it,
if
we're
not
offering
it
again,
you
know
two
months
from
now.
That's
why
I
agree
with
all
the
ultimate
states
that
we
ought
to
give
an
adequate
amount
of
time,
because
I
really
do
feel
like
this
process
has
been
around
for
a
long
long
time.
This
is
our
last
bite
at
the
Apple.
A
If
we
have
said
no,
we
won't
accept
I,
have
an
investment
in
that
in
that
mansion
to
try
to
try
and
save
that
save
the
mansion,
so
the
I
had
I
had
suggested
that
all
the
min
rating.
That's
why
I
put
a
suggested
a
time
difference
I
still
think
it
may
be
too
much
between
August,
21st
and
October
24th
I
think
the
October
24th
could
be
the
beginning
of
October.
I
bet.
A
What
you
know,
sort
of
ownership
rights
of
the
actual
building
itself
do
they
have
meaning
can
they
transfer
it
same
function
and
everything
else?
Can
they
transfer
it
or
are
we
asking
you
know
a
non-profit
to
come
here?
Put
millions
of
dollars
into
this
mansion
and
the
mansion
remains
100%
under
the
control
of
the
city,
meaning
we
can
at
you
know.
A
V
I
think
that's
a
good
point,
but
that
will
be
covered
under
the
lease,
so
any
any
type
of
commercial
lease.
For
example,
I'm
sure
your
lease
says:
if
there's
going
to
be
a
transfer
ship
of
the
lease,
that's
going
to
be
subject
to
review
and
acceptance
by
the
property
owner,
and
that's
certainly
something
that
can
be
written
into
the
lease
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
that
we
are
offering
this
opportunity
to
as
many
and
as
broad
a
range
of
nonprofits
as
we
can
and
I
absolutely
agree
with
you
that
this.
V
This
is
definitely
our
last
bite
of
the
Apple
and-
and
we
do
want
to
want
to
get
it
right.
But
I
think
a
lot
of
those
details
can
be
worked
out
as
we're
going
through
the
lease
and
when
we
look
at
the
bigger
picture,
I
just
don't
think
it's
a
great
idea
to
be
too
restrictive
in
the
RFP
that
we're
sending
out
because
will
discourage
responses.
T
T
J
X
T
I
mean
well
I'm,
it's
45
in
the
packet
budgets,
so
it's
it's
page,
5
of
the
I'm.
Sorry
of
the
other
document
got
it
so.
Additionally,
for-profit
users
are
prohibited.
So
are
we
understanding
that,
if,
if
the
bidder
is
a
non-profit
by
definition,
then
are
all
the
uses
that
they
are
likely
to
put
into
the
building
by
going
to
be
seen
as
not-for-profit?
T
Even
if
you
know
that's
a
light,
fare
cafe,
for
example,
that's
obviously
generating
revenues
for
the
property,
because
if
not,
then
we
need
to
clarify
that,
because
I
think
any
it's
quite
likely
than
any
nonprofit
that's
going
into
the
building
would
be
having
some
kinds
of
uses
there.
That
would
be
generating
revenues.
It's.
V
I'm
again
I'm
thinking
too,
you
know
the
tannic
garden,
a
bookstore
or
a
souvenir
shop
or
what
whatever
I
think
when
you
start
talking
about
a
cafe
you're
talking
about
a
totally
different
views
that
is
maybe
not
relevant
to
the
to
the
non-for-profit
use
and
I
guess:
I'd
refer
us
to
the
well.
The
later.
T
A
I
do
think
it's
I,
guess,
I
think
it's
important,
because
if
we're
going
to
give-
and
hopefully
this
conversation
and
the
final
RFP
is
going
to
give
direction
to
people
that
are
potentially
going
to
bid
on
this,
you
know-
and
that
includes
Evanston
Lake,
House
&
Garden
group
I-
do
think
we
need
to
have
some
clarification
is
a
cafe.
Are
we
saying
a
cafe?
Is
absolutely
restricted
and
prohibited,
or
is
it
allowed
I
mean
this
nonprofit
is
going
to
be
doing
two
things:
a
do.
X
First,
when
we
originally
least
signed
a
long
term
lead
police
with
car
Valley
Montessori
School,
one
of
their
concerns
was
because
they
were
planning
the
the
building
was
not
in
particularly
good
condition.
They
were
planning
to
put
a
lot
of
money
in
and
ultimately,
in
the
first
lease
term
that
that
we
had
with
them,
they
put
two
million
dollars
into
the
building.
X
We
signed
a
25-year
lease
with
two
fifteen
year:
extensions
with
them,
so
that's
one
way
in
which
that
we
can
provide
some
assurances
to
whoever
the
winning
bidder
is
here
that
they
would
have
control
over
it,
and
there
were
transfer
position
provisions
in
that
lease
as
well.
So
we
have
experience
with
that.
Then,
the
after
the
second
issue
about
the
not-for-profit
status.
I
do
think
that's
a
question
of
like
what
does
the
Botanic
Garden,
but
it
doesn't
I'm
sure
it
doesn't
lose
its
not-for-profit
status
by
having
a
cafe
and
a
bookshop
there.
X
You
know
I'd
like
that,
would
be
just
a
question
for
the
legal
staff
to
figure
out.
You
know
if
the
whatever
the
bidder
is,
who
wins
that
they
sell
t-shirts
are.
Are
they
permitted
to
do
that
so
I
think
that
would
be
something
that
I'd
like
to
get
the
legal
department
to
give
us
an
answer
on
I
mean
how
does
that
jeopardize
their
not-for-profit
status
or
if
we
permitted
them
to
have
a
light
fair
cafe?
U
Wilson
and
I'm,
not
as
I'm,
not
as
worried
about
the
the
for-profit
preclusion,
it
doesn't
preclude
them
from
generating
revenue,
there's
a
distinction
between
generating
revenue
and
something
that's
for
profits.
So
there's
nothing
in
here
that
says
you
can't
generate
revenue,
so
if
they
had
a
whatever
it
is
souvenir
shop
cafe,
whatever
it
is
they're
operating
to
generate
revenue,
that's
fine!
It
just
can't
be
a
company,
that's
locating
itself
in
there.
A
V
Yeah
I
think
we
may
be
getting
a
little
bit
of
a
ahead
of
ourselves
here.
I
think.
Maybe
we
can
have
this
discussion,
but
I
do
want
to
go
on
on
record,
because
I've
been
on
record
on
this
a
number
of
times
and
talk
to
you
of
my
colleagues
a
number
of
times
about
this,
too,
is
that
I
think
when
the
labor
master
plan
was
written
in
2008,
we
were
thinking
about
Oh.
Wouldn't
it
be
nice
to
have
a
cup
of
coffee
or
a
glass
of
wine
down
on
the
lakefront
and
in
2008.
V
That
would
have
been
a
really
good
idea.
Since
then,
we've
had
some
inquiry
for
running
restaurants
on
the
lakefront
and
I'm
very
concerned
about
that
I'm
extremely
concerned
about
what
that
might
pretend
for
neighborhoods
for
the
lakefront
itself
for
traffic
for
trash
for
parking
for
a
number
of
different
things.
I
can't
support
a
restaurant
use
on
the
lakefront,
even
in
Harley
Clark.
First
of
all,
I,
don't
think
it's
a
moneymaker
and,
secondly,
I
think
times
have
changed
and
I
would
not
want
to
see
a
restaurant
use
because
it's
not
fulfilling.
V
Perhaps
the
financial
goals
of
the
not-for-profit
I
wouldn't
like
to
see
that
expand,
because
I
think
that
creates
a
precedent
for
the
lakefront.
That
I
think
it
would
be
a
mistake,
and
so
I'm
going
to
be
very,
very,
very
particular
about
this
and
just
again
wanted
to
share
that
with
you.
But
I
do
think.
That's
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse.
A
Okay,
that
was
a
robust
conversation
about
the
highway
Clark
mansion.
Now,
one
of
the
things
that
was
raised
in
public
comment
that
we
didn't
didn't
talk
about
and
again
I,
don't
know.
If
we
just
want
to
remain
silent,
they
were
asking
that
the
city
not
remain
silent
was
in
regards
to
the
$250,000
that
the
council
had
I
guess
previously
allotted
alderman,
Wilson
and.
U
If
there
were
recreational
opportunities
that
run
by
the
city,
that
would
certainly
would
have
been
an
option,
but
that
does
not
seem
to
be
a
realistic
possibility.
So
in
my
mind
it
wasn't
to
be
given
to
a
bitter.
It
was
to
maintain
a
property
until
such
time
and
somebody
somebody
comes
forward
too
useful.
So
that's
what
my
thought
is
and
I
think
that's
why
it's
not
addressed
in
the
RFP,
because
it's
not
it's
not
a
donation
for
the
for
the
project.
Okay,.
AB
C
Looking
for
some
clarification
so
from
the
discussion,
I
think
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
take
all
the
comments.
I
think
there
were
three
areas:
I
heard
some
disagree
which
I
like
to
get
some
additional
clarification,
but
otherwise
we'll
take
the
comments
that
we
heard
this
evening,
we'll
incorporate
that
into
a
new
version,
and
if
it's
all
right
with
the
council,
then
we
would
come
back
on
the
24th
for
final
approval.
Is
that
the
consensus
of
the
group?
So
so
there
were
three
areas
that
I
didn't
hear.
C
Agreement
on
the
first
area
was
the
date
that
it
would
be
due.
We
were
looting
to
perhaps
the
beginning
of
October.
If,
mr.
mayor,
if
that's
the
consensus
of
the
body,
then
you
know
the
options,
I
would
think
would
be.
You
know,
October
2nd,
October
9th
as
date,
and
then
we
would
come
back
to
with
the
revised
on
the
24th
little
schedule
that
matches
that
date.
So.
AA
V
C
Right,
the
secondary
I'm,
not
clear
on
is
the
MBE
WBE
language
I
think
that
there
was
the
desire
that
I
heard
to
adjust
it
a
little
bit,
and
there
were
some
discussions
on
that,
but
there
was
also
a
desire
to
clearly
state
what
the
policy
of
the
city
in
this
area
is.
So,
if
that's
the
direction,
we
can
do
both
I
think
we
can
adjust
it
the
language
and
we
can
also
either
put
as
an
attachment
or
somehow
otherwise
refer
to
the
city's
existing
policy
for
all
projects.
Is
that
sufficient?
Yes,.
U
C
C
C
So
if
you
don't
want
a
coffee
shop,
I
think
you
need
to
specifically
say
that
if
you
don't
want
a
type
one
or
two
restaurant
I
think
you
need
to
specifically
state
that
as
otherwise
the
reality
is
that
those
will
be
income
generators
and
for
any
group
that
wants
to
propose
they're
going
to
see
that
as
a
key
element
and
so
I
think
the
council
needs
to
say.
Is
it
in
or
is
about
ultimate.
X
I,
thank
you.
Cindy
man.
I
would
like
to
comment
on
that.
Like
alderman,
Fisk
I
have
always
been
adamant
that
we
not
have
a
full-service
restaurant
along.
The
lakefront
I
do
think
that
the
lakefront
master
plan
did
contemplate
a
light,
fare
cafe
here,
and
that
would
be
acceptable
to
me,
but
not
a
full-service
restaurant,
because
I
do
have
very
serious
concerns
that
that
is
a
precedent
and
I.
Think
I
want
to
make
it
explicitly
clear
that
the
lakefront
master
plan
contemplated
this
and
only
dis
as
the
location
for
a
cafe
along
the
lakefront.
V
T
I
know
that
the
at
least
one
coffee
shop
owner
has
came
to
one
of
our
planning
committee
meetings
to
discuss
the
whether
he
would
envision
this
as
a
feasible
location
for
a
light
fare
cafe,
and
it's
not
going
to
be
a
huge
moneymaker,
but
he
indicated
that
he
thought
that
could
be
a
very
viable
location,
for
you
know:
coffees
gelatos,
bringing
in
some
food
prepared
elsewhere
that
he
would
be
very
interested.
So
I,
don't
I,
don't
you
know
I,
certainly
don't
think
we're
looking
at
huge
revenues
there,
but
some
support.
C
D
C
A
Right,
thank
you
all
right
that
takes
care
1/2
order
of
the
special
business.
We
will
now
move
on
to
the
to
the
second
order
and
I
think
some
of
these
will
go
will
go
quicker.
The
second
order
we're
going
to
talk
about
tonight
based
on
public
comment,
is
sp6,
which
is
the
county
minimum
wage
and
sick
leave
ordinances
and
the
next
in
the
next
steps.
A
The
the
intent
here
is
just
to
give
some
direction
to
to
the
city
staff
on
any
ideas
or
thoughts
that
people
up
here
at
the
diets
have
and
will
direct
the
city
managers,
develop
an
action
plan
or
return
to
the
City
Council
on
September
18th
for
the
status
report.
I
have
two
two
suggestions
here.
One
is
I
think
it's
really
really
important
that
we
offer
as
a
city
a
workshop
to
businesses
here
in
Evanston,
along
with
the
expert
at
Cook
County,
to
understand
the
new
ordinance.
A
You
know
concerns
they
have
over
that
and
we
can
make
sure
people
all
understand
the
rules,
because
the
general
consensus
is
business.
Owners
want
to
comply,
obviously
with
the
rules
and
regulations.
They're
concerned
right
now,
because
it's
just
uncertainty
on
their
part.
Second
thing
is
I'm
really
pleased
along
with
Alderman
Braithwaite
and
all
the
men
Ruth
Simmons,
that
a
partnership
has
been
formed
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
to
take
a
look
at
the
the
less
than
$20,000
spend
here
in
the
city
of
city
of
Evanston,
and
this
is
something
that
came
up
through
the
media.
A
So
I
think
that's
something
that
we
can
do
to
support
our
business
community
and
really
happy
with
the
work
of
Alderman
briefly
and
alderman
druh
Simmons
to
push
that
forward
and,
of
course,
the
chamber
of
commerce,
and
we
have
Linda
to
clock
in
here
today-
who's
the
executive
director
and
working
with
the
city
closely
on
that.
So
with
that,
let
me
turn
it
over
to
Alderman
Braithwaite
Thank.
AC
You,
mr.
mayor
and
I
think
you
summed
up
my
comments.
I've
over
the
last
a
couple
of
weeks.
It
even
moving
into
the
last
Friday
meeting
I've
heard
from
a
number
of
businesses
both
on
the
retail
side,
as
well
as
from
our
industrial
area.
So
I
would
encourage
our
staff
to
host
this
meeting
and
I
thought
to
be
collaborative
with
our
economic
development.
AC
I
like
the
idea
of
being
able
to
hear
from
our
Cook
County
Commissioner
and
the
one
regret
that
I
did
have
on
the
last
Friday.
We
really
didn't
listen
to
our
business
community
and
I
can't
speak
for
all
of
them,
but
the
ones
who
have
reached
out
particularly
Tom
Ward
I
think
they
just
want
to
be
heard
so
I'm
willing
to
give
up
time
if
it's
on
a,
maybe
even
a
Saturday
morning
to
to
do
that,
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
do
it
sooner
rather
than
later.
AC
A
So
would
you
like
to
come
up
for
a
second
Linda
I
guess
I
get
to
call
I'll
call
the
rule,
so
you
can
have.
You
can
have
two
minutes.
Okay,
thank.
AB
You
on
July
27th,
the
Evanston
chamber,
has
invited
a
member
from
the
Cook
County
Commission
to
come
and
speak
at
the
rotary
at
6:00
p.m.
and
I
wanted
to.
Let
all
of
you
know
and
I
will
get
this
out
to
the
city,
we're
going
to
blast
it
out
from
the
chamber
tomorrow.
July
27,
6:00
p.m.
at
the
rotary,
and
there
is.
AB
A
W
I
was
going
to
say
before
before
the
City
expends
any
effort
and
staff
time
and
money
on
a
workshop
to
help
local
businesses
with
the
fit
time
issue.
I
think
we
really
ought
to
meet
with
the
county
to
see
if
they
can
rework
the
sick
time
provision
of
the
ordinance
it's
a
mess
and
everybody
says
it
is
and
I
think
that's
where
the
work
needs
to
be
done.
W
A
Y
A
A
Includes
employees
too,
if
we
want
to
have
that
combat
conversation,
I
mean
I,
think
affordable
housing
has
been
something
that
we
talked
about
our
strategic
planning
session
and
something
we
may
want
to
give
city
staff
direction
of
and
want
more
more
of
a
plan.
Come
September
on
that,
for
instance,
all.
Y
Right
and
so
I
guess
I
would
suggest
in
this
business
workshop
or
some
other
venue
that
we
do
talk
to
the
business
is
about
the
issue
that
this
gentleman
brought
up
in
terms
of,
if
there
going
to
be
some
layoffs
or
some
reduction
in
hours
due
to
the
minimum
wage
that
we
can
be
I,
don't
have
a
suggestion
for
that,
but
that's
something
we
asked
our
business
owners
so
that
we
are
aware
of.
If
our
good
intentions
do
then
maybe
call
someone
to
lose
their
job
or
half
time
or
whatever.
That
might
be.
A
C
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
right.
Next,
special
order
that
we're
going
to
discuss
is
SP
for
water
service
shut
off
for
non-payment
process
staff
recommends
the
City
Council
accept
in
place
on
file.
This
report
on
the
water
shut
off
for
non-payment
process
implemented
by
the
city
of
Evanston,
and
provide
direction
for
next
steps.
The
action
is
for
action
except
in
place
on
file.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
us
before
mr.
C
Mayor
members,
the
Council
of
this
is
an
item
that
came
up
as
far
as
a
referral
to
staff
of
we
provide
the
the
City
Council
regularly
with
a
list
of
shut
offs.
I.
Think
many
of
you
have
noticed
that
these
lists
continue
to
be
substantial.
We
have
some
existing
plans
in
which
we
work
with
residents
and
their
okaying.
Our
water
production
bureau
chief
and
the
Public
Works
Agency
is
here.
He
and
his
staff
are
the
ones
that
coordinate
these
matters
and
he's
here
with
a
brief
report.
Great.
Thank
you
good.
AD
Evening
mr.
mayor
city,
clerk
read
members
of
the
City
Council
Darryl
king
water
production
bureau,
chief
Public
Works
Agency,
here
to
talk
to
you
Knight
about
water
shutoffs
for
non-payment,
those
procedures
so
utility
building
the
city
of
Evanston's
utility
bill
consists
of
charges
for
water
sewer,
sanitation
services
provided
to
a
property
utility
service
charges
are
billed
by
monthly
every
two
months,
beginning
in
January
of
each
year.
AD
Regarding
water,
turn-on
fees,
there
are
fees
associated
with
that
during
business
hours,
that
fee
is
$25
and
outside
of
business
hours.
The
fee
is
$75.
As
a
note.
No
such
a
discontinuation
of
water
service
shall
be
made
between
5
o'clock
p.m.
Thursday
and
8
o'clock
a.m.
on
Monday,
and
that's
a
way
to
allow
property
owners
to
come
in
on
Friday
and
make
those
make
payments
make
arrangements
of
different
things
of
that
nature,
as
well
as
to
assist
with
water
with
their
water
not
being
off
on
the
weekends.
So.
AD
The
final
shutoff
notice
is
mailed
two
weeks
prior
to
the
scheduled
shutoff
date.
The
final
notice
does
not
include
information
about
payment
options
or
qualifying
for
emergency
assistance
and
in
an
effort
to
notify
tenants
in
multifamily
and
commercial
properties.
Each
entrance
is
posted
with
a
yellow
notice
indicating
the
intent
to
terminate
water
services
due
to
delinquency
and
the
tenants
rights.
There
are
cases
where
the
tenants
are
unaware
of
any
notices
for
delinquency
and
payments
or
shut
off
proceedings.
AD
Continuing
with
continuing
with
delinquent
notifications,
just
water
shut-off
stats.
We
have
14400
water
accounts
here
in
the
city
of
Evanston
shutoff
letters,
mailed
and-
and
this
is
this-
these
stats
represent
our
current
or
previous
shutoff
cycle
shutoff
letters,
mailed
397
were
mailed
notices
posted
to
multifamily
and
commercial
properties.
AD
103
shutoff
lists
as
a
Friday
June
23rd
202
accounts
were
on
that
list,
shutoff
lists,
as
of
Tuesday
June
27th
124
accounts
a
main
remained
on
the
shut-off
lists
and
that's
in
large
part
to
do
nur's
coming
in
pain,
whether
it
be
online
or
to
the
collector's
office
in
person
to
pay
or
establish
Arrangements
total
shut
offs
that
occurred
were
107
and
properties
that
were
still
off
as
of
July.
6
were
13
properties
of
those
13
properties
8.
At
that
time,
we're
verified
as
vacant.
AD
Three
were
three
of
the
vacant
were
vacant
for
sale,
so
that
left
five
properties
remaining.
At
that
time
we
did
reach
out
to
each
one
of
those
properties
through
various
communications
in
person,
as
well
as
phone
calls
and
emails.
If
we
had
that
information
on
record
to
two
properties
came
in
and
paid
and
their
water
was
turned
back
on
and
as
of
now,
the
three
remaining
properties
are
vacant,
so
that
was
that
break
down
their.
AD
Assistance
Programs
payment
plans
are
managed
by
the
collector's
office
and
there
are
two
separate
types
of
payment
plans,
one
prior
to
the
water
being
shut
off
and
another
after
the
water
has
been
shut
off.
Emergency
assistance
is
managed
through
the
Health
and
Human
Services
Department
general
assistance,
also
through
the
Health
and
Human
Services
Department
and
budget
billing
is
not
available.
AD
Outreach
through
a
collaborative
effort
between
the
collector's
office
and
the
health
and
human
services
department.
That
department
will
provide
outreach
to
families
when
they're,
when
they're
aware
of
a
situation
or
a
need
for
emergency
assistance,
advocacy
for
possible
pavement
arrangements
as
well
as
financial
literacy,
are
offered
water
service
responsibilities.
If
the
consumer
of
water,
whose
bill
is
unpaid,
is
not
the
owner
of
the
premises
and
the
city
manager
or
his
or
her
designee
or
other
officer
of
the
city
has
a
notice
of
this
fact.
AD
A
notice
stating
that
such
bill
remains
unpaid
for
a
period
of
30
days
after
it
has
been
rendered,
shall
be
mailed
to
the
owner
of
the
purpose,
the
premises
at
his
or
her
last
known
address.
So
there
could
be
instances
where
there's
a
lease,
and
in
that
lease
it
states
that
the
tenant
is
responsible
if
the
tenant
does
not
honor
that
that
lease
agreement,
ultimately
the
property
owner,
will
get
that
final
bill
and
possible
lien
against
the
property.
Hey.
AC
Just
can
you
go
one
slide
back,
I
tried
to
be
patient,
but
you
mentioned
the
outreach,
and
so,
if
any
part
of
this
is
there
any
medical
reasons
or
because
I'm
glad
to
see
that
it's
a
small
number
I
mean
we're
less
than
400
for
a
ton
18,000.
So
is
there
something
I
think
it's
one
more
slide
back
with
the
outreach.
AD
AD
AC
Where
it's
a
tenant
and
the
landlord
is
in
paying
for
it,
you're
able
to
make
adjustments
there
as
well
correct
where
so,
if
someone's
a
tenant
and
the
landlord
is
responsible
for
the
water
and
just
for
whatever
reason
the
landlord
hasn't
paid
the
water
bill.
That's
happened
in
my
ward,
so
I'm
just
asking
so
the
tenants
can
come
in,
speak
to
you
and
then
you're
working
with
a
landlord
versus
just
cutting
off
the
water.
Absolutely.
AD
B
Just
I'm
just
curious
at
what
point
does
the
collector's
office
notify
the
Human
Services
Department
Chris
officiated,
for
example,
that
there
is
someone
that
potentially
is
in
need
of
emergency
assistance
or
general
assistance?
Is
it
after
the
water
shut
off?
Is
it
30
days
prior?
What
at
what
point
is
that
triggered.
AD
So,
typically,
once
especially
once
the
notices
begin
to
get
triggered
and
a
property
owner
receives
that
notice,
they
they
probably
or
there
have
been
instances
where
they
come
in
or
contact,
and
they
start
that
communication,
a
dialog
and
say
hey.
This
is
what's
going
on
and
they
request
assistance.
What
are
the
options
available
to
me
and
then,
if
it's
an
option
that
maybe
is
beyond
a
payment
plan
and
it's
a
bit
more
extreme,
then
that
case
would
be
transferred
over
to
the
the
Health
and
Human
Services
Department.
AD
B
I'm,
sorry,
just
to
clarify
there
isn't
an
automatic
process
where
you
guys
see
and
ask
this,
because
when
I
started
my
campaign
for
clerk,
the
clerk
was
the
city
collector,
and
so
this
is
something
I
thought
about.
So
is
it
if
there
isn't
an
automated
when
someone
a
resident
says,
hey
I
need
some
help.
There's
an
automatic
sending
over
to
the
Health
and
Human
Services,
saying
hey!
This
person
might
need
some
help
to
reach
out
to
them.
There
isn't.
AE
Excuse
me:
that's
a
clerk
read!
Yes,
when
it
goes
to
collection,
the
general
assistance
office
is
notified,
so
they
don't.
They
don't
have
to
necessarily
come
in
and
say
I
want
to
go
and
talk.
If
they're
going
in
to
shut
off,
then
we
will
notify
GA
as
well.
Now
that
doesn't
mean
GA
is
reaching
out
to
them
and
saying
can
we
help
but
still
on
the
resident
come
and
say
I
would
like
help?
AE
Y
Have
a
couple
questions,
so
one
I
think
falls
in
line
with
well
anyway.
The
question
is
about
the
payment
plan.
You
mentioned
that
when
the
second
notice
goes
out,
there
is
no
reference
to
an
available
payment
plan,
and
so
it's
assumption
that
the
I
get
the
bill
and
I'm
past
due
and
I
call
you
and
ask
you:
there
is
payment
plan.
Is
there
a
reason
that
we
don't
just
put
it
on
the
bill
that
there
is
payment
plan
options?
Call
this
number.
AD
I've
looked
into
that
into
that
question
and
it's
more
past
practice,
I
haven't
really
gotten
a
clear
definitive.
This
is
absolutely
why
that
information
has
not
or
does
not
appear
on
any
of
the
notices.
It's
been
more
opinion
so
that,
as
of
right
now,
I
think
it's
just
something.
That's
happened
past
practice
throughout
the
years.
Okay,.
Y
Y
Then
my
second
question,
and
so
people
come
into
the
clerk's
office,
not
clerk's
office,
using
the
collector's
office
to
make
those
payment
arrangement
plans
with
someone
in
the
collector's
office,
and
so
it's
my
understanding.
Our
collector's
office
is
open,
8:30
to
5:00
o'clock
and
there
is
an
there
is
not
currently
someone
who
speaks
Spanish
in
there,
and
so
that
might
be
something
we
want
to
think
about.
Y
X
Ching,
have
you
mentioned
that
we
don't
have
budget
billing?
Has
that
ever
been
examined
as
to
whether
that
would
be
a
useful
option
to
have
here
in
evanston
to
have
budget
billing,
or
is
it
that
the
water
bill
is
fairly
standard
throughout
the
year,
so
I
it's
not
as
necessary
in
order?
What's
the
thought
behind
not
having
budget
billing.
AD
Why
is
it
something
that
we
can
do
or
not
in
the
to
in
a
year
and
a
half
that
I've
been
here,
I
haven't
had
conversation
about
it,
just
only
about
the
two
pavement
plans
that
that
we
have
that
exists,
but
that's
something
that
I
believe
staff
can
internally
talk
about
to
see.
Is
there
a
reason
why
or
why
not
right.
X
Well,
I'd
like
to
know,
is
it
I
mean?
Is
it
worthwhile
for
the
for
the
city
or
the
the
citizens
of
Evanston
to
have
a
budget
filling
process
for
the
watering
water
department
for
the
water
bill?
You
know
it
might
be
that
economically,
it's
not
the
best
thing
to
do,
but
I'd
just
like
to
know
whether
what
what
the
information
looks
like
on
that
issue,
and
also
if
we,
if
our
shut
offs,
meet
a
steady
sort
of
a
standard
of
what
you
would
would
trigger
a
community
to
have
budget
billing.
X
X
H
C
C
Sure,
but,
but
I
but
I
think
we
will
commit
this
evening
to
come
back
to
the
council.
This
fall
with
a
little
bit
more
investigation
on
that
I.
Think
the
point
you
raised
regarding
administrative
costs
is
a
real
one
and
I
think
just
need
to
try
to
do
our
best
to
quantify
to
the
question
regarding
payment
plans.
I
think
we
can
look
to
add
a
language
to
that.
C
Recognizing
that
that's
a
part
of
this
and
is
that
a
policy
decision
that
the
City
Council
wants
to
make.
So
why
don't
we
I
think
we
can
certainly
put
language
in
the
bill
the
next
time
we
have
the
ability
to
change
the
language
and
then
report
back
to
you
to
see
how
much
that
I
don't
want
to
not
do
it
fearful
of
consequences.
C
I
just
want
to
make
the
council
aware
that
that
consequence
exists
we'll
go
ahead
and
do
it,
and
if
we
see
that
it
is
being
abused
in
any
way
we'll
come
back
but
give
us
until
you
know,
probably
sometime
in
the
first
part
of
October,
to
come
back.
We
could
talk
more
of
a
budget
billing.
Okay,
thank
you.
C
Mr.
mayor,
while
mr.
King
is
still
here
and
mr.
stone,
Beck
is
somewhere
nearby.
The
other
utility
that
we
also
get
information
from
is
a
Commonwealth
Edison.
There's
also
been
some
discussion
among
members
of
the
council
as
to
what
we
can
do
to
be
helpful
to
those
folks
in
need
we're
still
working
with
Commonwealth
Edison
to
develop
a
plan
that
would
either
encourage
them
to
reach
out
on
their
own
through
the
company
or
perhaps
allow
us
to
reach
out
with
similar
kinds
of
mr.
stone.
Beck
has
been
working
with
ComEd
longer
than
I
have.
C
My
sense
is
the
numbers
that
we
see
from
ComEd
of
folks
that
are
looking
to
have
their
power
shut
off.
Our
are
similar
numbers
over
a
period
of
time,
and
my
sense
is
that
they
get
turned
on
and
probably
in
the
same
orders
of
magnitude
that
mr.
King
described
people
getting
their
water
once
they
get
a
final
notice,
but
is
that
a
fair,
fair
assessment.
AF
C
So
I
think
what
we
have
to
do
is
we
have
to
decide.
You
know
that
that
list
is
maybe
a
little
over
a
hundred
hundred
and
fifty
I.
Don't
think
it's
quite
that
long,
okay,
so
I
think
it's
just
a
matter
is
I
had
an
administrative
task
that
we're
prepared
to
take
on
for
Commonwealth
Edison
customers
within
the
city
of
Evanston,
so
I
think
we're
still
looking
at
that
and
we'll
we'll
come
back
to
the
council
if
we
can
come
up
with
a
with
a
relatively
cost-effective
way
to
to
make
that
information
available.
W
One
thing
that
I
would
like
when
we
come
back
with
this
additional
information,
I
think
we're
going
to
find
out
also
that
it's
it's
not
going
to
be
worthwhile
to
do
budget
plans,
because
there's
not
that
great.
A
fluctuation
like
you
said
like
in
the
winter.
Our
gas
bills
are
way
high
and
some
are
they're
way
low.
W
Secondly,
in
the
case
of
Commonwealth
Edison
several
years
ago,
I'm
the
one
that
for
the
shutoffs
for
comment-
we
never
got
them.
In
fact,
we
were
told
that
we
couldn't
have
them
because
it
was
confidential
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
we
got
them.
There
is
a
great
distinction
between
regulations
between
municipal
water
and
Commonwealth,
Edison
and
nightcore.
They
are
governed
by
the
Illinois
Commerce
Commission,
because
their
public
utilities
and
the
water
is
not.
We
can
just
willy-nilly
turn
people
up
whatever
we
want
more
or
less,
but
the
electric
and
gas
cannot
be.
W
Z
C
C
C
But
at
the
same
time
we
really
want
to
bring.
You
know
some
key
areas
to
your
attention
because,
as
the
council
begins
to
think
about
budget
issues
for
2018
and
Beyond
and
is
significant
as
some
of
the
operating
issues
may
end
up
being
for
us
that
does
not
diminish
in
any
way
the
importance
and
the
severity
of
some
of
the
capital
issues
that
we
have
so
I
want
to
just
kind
of
just
give
that
preamble,
we'll
start
with
the
capital
overview
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
the
operating
side.
AG
So
this
year
we
budgeted
the
capital
program
at
50,
8.3
million
dollars
as
of
tonight,
assuming
that
the
contracts
that
our
capital
funded
on
the
agenda
are
actually
approved,
we're
at
twenty
nine
point,
eight
million
dollars.
It
would
be
unusual
to
award
all
58
point
three
million
just
because
sometimes
projects
get
delayed
for
things
out
of
our
control,
so
we
are
actually
moving
along
briskly
with
our
capital
program.
For
this
year
we
have
three
projects
over
a
million
dollars
that
really
are
not
yet
awarded
a
large
number
of
smaller
projects
as
well.
AG
These
are
the
treated
water
storage
replacement,
the
fleetwood
Jourdain
HVAC
electrical
and
the
Howard
Street
Theatre
Project,
so
I'm
just
going
through
some
of
our
major
projects
that
we
have
under
construction
now.
I
just
want
to
give
a
brief
update.
The
Sheridan
Road
Chicago
Avenue
project
was
shut
down
by
I
dot
by
the
budget
impasse,
but
we
have
received
notice
that
we
can
start
work
again.
AG
That's
a
very
complex
project,
so
the
contractor
is
putting
together
a
schedule
for
mobilization
that
they're
submitting
to
us
in
the
next
day
or
two
I
will
say
that
the
the
first
part
of
the
project
that
was
supposed
to
be
done
with
Chicago
Avenue
that
got
done
pretty
much
on
schedule.
The
second
part
that
was
supposed
to
be
done
from
Chicago
Avenue
to
Lincoln
Street
on
Sheridan
Road,
was
very
aggressively
planned
to
try
to
be
complete
by
September
15th.
We
will
probably
experience
a
two
to
four
week
delay
because
of
the
state
shutdown.
AG
So
it
is
unlikely
that
we
will
meet
that.
However,
we
will
probably
get
that
done
in
2017
per
the
plan
and
we've
notified
Northwestern
and
we're
working
with
them,
and
then
we
will
proceed
to
the
final
section,
northward
and
28th
per
the
plan.
Emerson
Ridge
Green
Bay
actually
was
shut
down
also
by
the
state
budget
impasse,
although
they're
very
doing
very
little
work
right
now.
AG
AG
They
are
not
out
of
schedule
yet,
but
it's
likely
that
they
are
not
going
to
meet
the
schedule
for
finishing
that
this
year,
they're
the
lead
time
for
the
the
Veterans
Memorial
and
the
fountain
had
a
long
lead
time,
but
it's
even
longer
than
we
anticipated
and
there
actually
has
been
some
underground
utility
issues
with
some
ComEd
ducts.
Very
major
ComEd
ducts
are
in
the
way,
a
lot
of
minor
underground
utility
issues
that
have
caused
some
delays,
so
we're
monitoring
it.
AG
AG
The
service
center
is
a
non
budgeted
project
that
we've
been
dealing
with.
There
have
been
some
structural
issues
at
the
service
center.
Basically,
six
areas
in
some
of
the
garage
bays
that
are
under
the
parking
deck
at
the
service
center
have
had
areas
that
identified
where
we're
having
structural
insufficiencies
in
the
beams,
and
so
those
areas
have
been
shored
at
this
point
and
the
service
center
is
temporarily
all
safe.
AG
We
have
working
with
an
engineer
with
Jen
with
Jenny
engineering,
that
is
a
structural
specialist
and
they
are
preparing
a
proposal
to
do
what
their
fees
would
be
to
do.
The
final
design
of
the
fix
for
these
areas
and
then
our
last
large
project
is
the
treated
water
storage
replacement.
This
is
the
replacement
of
the
five
million
gallon
underground
reservoir
that
is
located
at
the
water
treatment
plant
and
we
are
currently
in
design.
We've
been
working
with
Northwestern
University.
AG
They
are
going
to
install
some
shoring
between
their
dormitories
and
our
reservoir
later
this
summer,
and
then
we
are
on
track
to
basically
advertise
for
bid
in
the
winter
for
a
spring
start
to
construction.
So
though,
it's
kind
of
our
major
projects,
large
dollar
value,
we
have
floating
out
there
or
unknown
things.
There's
any
questions
associate
with
those
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
them.
If
not,
we
can
move
on
so
I
thought.
I
would
start
with
just
a
broad
description
of
how
the
capital
improvement
program
is
structured.
AG
We
actually
have
several
different
areas
to
the
capital
improvement
program
that
all
bundle
up
into
the
citywide
CIP,
and
these
are,
for
the
most
part,
managed
by
the
Bureau
of
capital
planning.
So
we
have
our
streets
resurfacing,
water,
main
and
sewer
projects.
Those
are
projects
that
are
occurring
within
the
street
right-of-way.
Basically,
other
transportation
or
sort
of
an
odd
collection
of
miscellaneous
street,
like
projects
involve
resurfacing.
Often
things
like
parking
lots
alley
improvements
sidewalk,
so
there's
tend
to
be
associated
with
streets
and
motorists,
but
they
aren't
necessarily
just
street
resurfacing.
We
have
a
parks
CIP.
AG
We
have
water
treatment
and
storage,
which
is
categorized
a
little
bit
set
water
mains
in
the
street
resurfacing
because
it's
within
the
street.
These
are
all
the
non
street
water
projects,
our
facilities,
capital
and
then
in
other,
we
have
the
library
which
is
not
managed
by
the
Bureau
of
capital
planning
and
some
miscellaneous
projects,
which
includes
things
like
work.
For
police,
but
you
know,
funding
for
police
body
cameras
and
things
like
that
that
appear
in
the
capital,
but
are
not
also
not
managed
by
the
bureau.
AG
Capital
planning,
so
I
am
NOT
addressing
the
library
in
the
miscellaneous.
In
this
discussion
they
tend
to
be
handled
elsewhere,
are
they're
very
small,
but
I
put
here
kind
of
the
typical
the
numbers
we
have
funded
for
2017,
typically
his
in
the
last
five
years.
The
capital
improvement
programs
been
more
around
thirty
five
million
dollars,
but
we
do
actually
have
a
couple
of
projects
that
are
skewing
it
right
now.
Sheridan
Road
is
around
nine
million
for
just
2017
the
Fountain
Square
project,
six
million.
AG
So
already
you
can
see
just
with
those
two
projects:
we've
really
boosted
the
capital
and
then
there's
the
revenue
side
of
the
business,
which
is
where
all
the
fun
comes
from
and
it's
some
of
the
funding
is
just
sort
of
wherever
we
choose
to
spend
it,
which
our
general
obligation
bonds
debated
by
property
tax.
But
then
we
have
some
very
specific
enterprise
funds:
the
water
funds
through
our
fund,
those
are
basically
dedicated
to
just
paying
for
assets.
Capital
improvement
on
assets
associated
with
the
funds,
so
they
can't
really
be
dragged
to
other
things.
AG
You
can't
spend
water
fund
money
on
building
a
building
unless
somehow
that
building
is
related
to
the
water
fund
revenue.
So
we
have
several
like
that.
Motor
fuel
tax
funds
have
to
be
designated
for
specific
things,
and
then
we
also
have
geographically
designated
funds
which
come
in
our
tax,
increment
finance
districts,
and
so
those
also
are
very
specific.
AG
In
past
couple
years,
we've
sold
bonds,
it
a
little
bit
higher
rate,
but
they
are
limited
and
we
do
try
to
be
respectful
of
that
and
then
projects
that
are
getting
outside
grants
in
which
the
city
only
has
to
provide
a
match.
In
general,
the
City,
Council
and
staff
have
prioritized
at
a
higher
level
because
we're
leveraging
our
city
funds
to
be
able
to
do
a
much
larger
project.
AG
So
an
example
that
would
be
Sheridan
Road
where
we
got
a
match,
and
so
we
are
able
to
a
project,
and
we
did
prioritize
that,
but
any
project,
that's
not
in
the
TIF
area
geographically
or
doesn't
use
one
of
these
specialty
enterprise
funds.
Like
the
parking
fund,
we
basically
are
relying
on
general
obligation
bonds
to
provide
the
bulk
of
the
funding.
AG
So
one
of
the
big
questions
is:
how
do
we
come
up
with
these
projects?
How
the
staff
make
recommendations
for
what's
going
to
be
in
the
capital
program
and
we
gather
a
ton
of
data?
Basically,
we
try
to
distill
it
down
into
a
very
specific
set
of
projects
for
the
aldermen
to
review.
So
we
rely
on
consultants
to
do
outside
evaluations
where
we
don't
have
the
capacity
in-house.
This
includes
of
examples
would
be
the
pavement
condition
survey.
AG
We
repeat
this:
every
five
years
basically
have
a
company
that
has
specialized
equipment,
drive
every
Road
in
Evanston
and
tell
us
not
just
what
the
condition
of
the
surfaces,
but
their
equipment
can
tell
us
what
the
condition
of
the
base
is
and
how
likely
it
is
to
fail.
So
this
was
last
done
in
2013
and
we
were
proposed
to
do
it
in
2018
and
then
we
can
use
that
data
to
help
us
decide
which
streets
really
need
to
be
prioritized.
AG
We
did
a
citywide
roof
assessment.
Last
year
we
did
a
park
scorecard
last
year,
but
then
we
also
do
quite
a
bit
of
in-house
data
gathering
in
order
to
try
to
determine
where
the
biggest
needs
are.
So
honestly,
just
the
information
we
get
from
residents
and
aldermen
about
where
needs
are
really
big
driver,
because
there
aren't
that
many
staff
and
there's
a
lot
of
residents.
So
there
really
are
eyes
in
the
field
for
where
there
are
problems,
and
we
do
take
that
very
seriously.
AG
You
know
our
own
staff
doing
the
regular
street
street
work
will
identify
problems
and
we'll
send
out
an
engineer
to
go.
Do
a
more
detailed
inspection
when
they
raise
a
red
flag.
We
track
water
main
breaks,
we
track
sewer
failures
and
then
we've
started
doing
in
the
past
couple
years,
really
detailed
facility
assessments
just
in-house,
where
we
gather
the
facilities,
maintenance
staff,
the
engineering
staff
and
the
users
of
each
facility
together
at
the
table
and
go
methodically
through
the
building
system
by
system.
What's
the
condition
of
the
roof?
AG
What's
the
condition
of
the
HVAC
and
really
try
to
make
a
list
of
project
needs
for
each
facility,
and
we've
done
the
Commun,
many
centers
and
some
other
buildings,
but
really
it's
so
time
intensive
that
we
haven't
gotten
as
far
as
I
would
like
on
that,
but
we
are
continuing
to
do
those
and
then
per
the
direction
of
the
City
Council.
Several
years
ago
we
really
prioritize
worst.
First,
we
do
not
prioritize
based
on
geography
at
all.
AG
We
really
are
just
specifically
looking
at
what
is
the
most
serious
failures
that
are
occurring
and
we
look
at
safety
issues.
We
look
at
things
like
the
likelihood
of
failure
versus
the
impact
of
failure
and
I've
listed.
Hvac
is
a
really
good
example
of
this,
where
we
find
we're
really
at
the
end
of
the
age
of
useful
life,
for
an
HVAC
system
and
when
it
fails
the
Community
Center.
If
it's
in
the
middle
of
winter
is
going
to
be
without
heat,
there's
a
long
lead
time
to
fix
it.
Those
are
the
kinds
of
projects.
AG
So
that's
in
general
how
we
do
it
I
would
like
to
go
kind
of
delve
into
each
area
a
little
deeper
as
to
what's
going
on
so
I've
prepared,
try
to
be
consistent
in
the
presentation.
This
handy
little
table
where
I've
looked
at.
This
is
what
we've
spent
in
the
last
or
what
we've
budgeted
in
the
last
two
years,
not
necessarily
what
we
spent
so
for
street
water,
main
sewer
and
other
transportation.
It's
you
know,
there's
a
general
obligation
bonds.
There
are
other
funds.
AG
I
have
listed
the
other
fund
sources
over
here,
so
you
can
see,
there's
quite
a
mix
and
then
the
staff
is
put
together
an
an
estimate
of
need
by
sort
of
preparing
a
five
years
or
CIP.
It's
totally
draft
and
subject
to
the
council
giving
us
direction
on
what
our
priorities
are.
But
so
you
could
see
where
we
stand
versus
where
the
staff
thinks
the
greatest
needs
are
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
provide
some
data,
and
so
particularly
for
streets,
water
main
sewer,
probably
one
of
our
biggest
takeaways
is
here.
AG
We
do
use
general
obligation
bonds
and
we
use
a
lot
of
general
obligation
bonds,
probably
our
biggest
area
of
general
obligation
bond
funding,
but
we
also
supplement
this
area
with
quite
a
lot
of
other
fund
sources.
It's
a
complex
area.
It
deals
with
a
lot
of
different
types
of
assets,
but
we
also
have
the
option
here
for
getting
federal
grants
which
has
allowed
us
to
do
some
of
our
larger
projects.
So,
within
this
section
one
of
our
biggest
challenges
is
this
idea
of
balancing
repairs
versus
the
proactive
maintenance.
First,
the
major
reconstruction.
AG
So
a
reactive
repair
is
full
street
resurfacing.
The
streets
failed,
the
pavements
in
terrible
condition,
drainage
doesn't
work
right,
we
go
in,
we
adjust
the
curves,
all
the
drainage
structures
resurface,
probably
do
twelve,
ten
or
twelve
streets
a
year.
This
way
it's
necessary
and
for
a
long
time
that
was
basically
the
only
thing
we
did.
We
really
didn't
do
a
lot
of
proactive
maintenance.
We've
now
moved
on
to
try
and
increase
our
proactive
maintenance.
AG
I
think
it's
really
improved
the
condition
of
streets
around
town,
and
by
that
I
mean
we
spend
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
on
Street
patching
the
street
isn't
totally
bad,
but
there
are
sections
that
need
repair,
and
so
we
go
in
and
we
fix
just
what
needs
repair.
We
don't
redo
the
whole
street
because
we
try
to
get
to
it
sooner
than
that,
so
we're
lining
when
we
televise
a
sewer,
and
we
see
that
it's
all
cracked
and
it
hasn't
failed.
AG
Yet,
but
it's
not
looking
good,
we
try
to
fix
it
before
it
fails
and
then
the
major
reconstruction,
largely
these,
have
been
paid
for
a
substantial
amount
by
grant
funding
from
federal
aid
projects,
surface
transportation
program
see,
map
grants
and
various
things.
So
in
doing
that,
we've
been
able
to
do
quite
a
lot
of
major
reconstruction,
but
we
are
struggling
to
keep
up
with
that.
AG
The
grant
funding
is
not
really
adequate
for
the
long
pipeline
of
major
street
projects
that
alderman
and
residents
are
requesting,
and
so
we
just
have
been
doing
them
as
we
can
afford
them,
but
it
is
created
a
real
backlog.
Another
issue
is
that
for
water,
main
replacement
or
water
revenue
that
is
generated
is
really
not
adequate
for
us
to
do.
AG
One
percent
of
the
system
replacement
every
year,
so
we
end
up
bonding
some
of
that
and
that
gets
to
be
basically
we're
doing
the
same
project
every
year
around
three
and
a
half
million
dollars
and
we
end
up
bonding
a
portion
of
it
every
year,
because
the
funding
generated
by
our
water
rates
is
not
high
enough
to
just
cover
that.
So
when
we
do
a
water
plant
project
a
lot
of
times
the
lifecycle,
the
project
is
40
years
or
more.
AG
So
I
have
also
listed
entirely
draft
the
list
of
proposed
projects
for
2018.
We
are
not
finalized
with
developing
the
2018
CIP
yet,
and
this
is
entirely
subject
to
City
Council,
looking
at
it
and
doing
reviews
and
making
recommendations
on
priorities.
But
again,
I
didn't
want
to
lead
you
to
hanging
with
just
these
random
numbers
that
I
put
out
here.
AG
AG
So,
with
that
I'll
go
on
to
parks,
keep
this
moving
and
again
what
you
see
here
is
our
the
same
table.
This
is
the
Geo
bond
funding.
Here's
other
funds
that
have
spent.
This
is
all
all
the
other
funds,
in
this
case
our
tip
for
Fountain
Square
in
parts
funding.
It's
a
little
bit
of
an
anomaly
that
there
are
other
funds.
Almost
all
parks
are
funded
by
general
obligation
bonds
and
we
typically
spend
one
to
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
a
year
on
parks
projects.
C
AG
C
C
AG
Addressed,
okay
parts
have
been
underfunded
for
a
long
time.
Long
before
I
was
here,
you
did
look
at
the
parks
to
work
hard,
and
that
has
been
very
helpful
in
identifying
a
lot
of
issues
and
then
there
are
also
some
very
specific
goals
that
are
really
not
reflected
in
the
park
scorecard,
but
are
the
realities
of
what
our
maintenance
staff
is
dealing
with
playground?
Safety
is
kind
of
obvious.
AG
There
is
a
safety
inspection
we
do
every
year
and
some
playgrounds
really
are
not
adequate
and
then
athletic
fields.
There
are
a
number
of
organized
athletic
leads
in
the
city
and
they
are
constantly
concerned
about
the
quality
of
the
athletic
fields.
The
availability
of
the
athletic
fields
and
our
maintenance
staff
really
cannot
even
begin
to
keep
up
with
the
athletic
field
issues.
It
just
needs
to
be
money
invested
in
wholesale
regrading
appeals
and
putting
in
drainage
systems
and
irrigation,
and
this
is
similar
to
what
we
were
doing.
AG
That
was
recently
approved
by
council
at
the
James
Park
north
athletic
fields.
To
try
to
address
that
so
just
trying
to
really
deal
with
s
parks,
playground,
safety,
athletic
field
in
the
next
five
years.
That
is
the
4.4
million
dollars.
It's
really
not
dealing
with
a
lot
else
and
because
the
primary
source
of
funding
is
geo
bonds.
There
really
isn't
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
us
to
figure
out
other
choices.
There
are
not
a
lot
of
parks
grants
out
there
floating
around.
AG
We
look
and
when
they
are
there,
they're
very
small
and
very
limited,
and
not
usually
what
we
need
so
I
put
together
next
year's
list
of
projects
that
we
would
propose
again
entirely
draft
and
subject
to
City
Council
recommendations
and
priorities.
The
church
street
Harbor
South
Pier,
the
the
wall
is
crumbling.
AG
This
was
actually
budgeted
for
this
year,
but
because
of
delays
and
permitting
by
the
ia
PA,
it
has
to
be
constructed
in
the
fall,
so
it
basically
has
to
move
to
next
year,
but
we're
we're
still
we're
working
through
permits,
but
it
is
moving
along
that
gets
so
much
wave
action
in
the
harbor
the
way
the
South
Pier
is
right
now
that
it's
actually
damaging
the
floating
dock
that
we
just
installed.
So
we
would
not
recommend
delaying
this
project.
Foster
field
is
an
F
rated
Park
and
also
would
address
some
of
our
athletic
field.
Issues.
AG
J
A
AG
AG
So,
moving
on
to
facilities
again
geo
bonds,
we
do
have
other
funds,
but
I
do
have
to
tell
you
similar
to
parks.
This
is
very
one-off.
The
there
are
some
specific
projects
that
can
use
alternate
funds
and
parking
garages
using
the
parking
fund
as
one
of
them,
but
the
vast
majority
of
our
facilities
are
really
only
eligible
to
be
funded
by
general
obligation
bonds
and
there
really
are
not
grants
for
facility
improvements
so
again,
putting
together
our
basic
estimate
of
what
we
think
you
need
to
do.
AG
So
again,
our
facilities
have
been
really
underfunded.
I
explained
how
we're
doing
these
in-house
assessments
and
we
did
the
roof
assessments
and
everything
we
were
really
spoke
to
best
use
our
limited
funding.
We're
really
trying
to
focus
in
on
just
a
few
goals,
one
being
safety
issues.
If
there's
a
known,
huge
safety
hazard,
we
want
to
fix
that
and
then
we're
looking
at
addressing
the
building
envelope,
which
basically
fundamentally
is
keep
the
water
out
of
the
building.
AG
If
this
or
your
house,
that
would
be
the
first
thing
you
would
want
to
do
before
you
do
any
other
capital
improvement.
It
causes
a
lot
of
damage
and
similarly
we
have
a
lot
of
roof
issues.
We
have
a
lot
of
masonry
issues
and
things,
and
so
we're
trying
to
address
those
in
our
five-year
program
and
then
these
aging
systems
that
need
replacement
before
they
fail
that
are
critical
and
those
are
largely
HVAC
systems.
AG
So
again,
it's
just
exactly
like
parks.
The
funding
has
been
inadequate.
A
primary
funding
source
is
geo
bonds
and
we
really
don't
have
another
go
to
pot
of
money
for
facilities
here
in
2018.
Are
the
big
deals?
I
think
we're
going
to
have
to
budget
extra
money
for
fleetwood,
Jourdain
HVAC
electrical,
which
I
have
put
in
here
as
a
proposed,
will
know
better
when
we
get
the
bids
back.
What
we
actually
need
to
do
and
then
Chandler
needs
a
new
electrical
system,
basically
for
its
electrical
panels.
AG
AG
AG
The
HVAC
is
basically
done
with
100
separate
heat
pumps
that
are
scattered
around
the
building,
most
of
them
very
old
and
still,
if
we
deal
with
the
HVAC,
we
probably
need
to
upgrade
the
electrical
as
well.
The
Civic
Center,
the
fire
protection
system,
the
fire
panels
are
really
antiquated.
Various
parts
of
the
system
need
to
replace
animal
shelter
is
not
ideal.
AG
I
haven't
put
a
number
on
that
yet
because
I'm
not
really
sure
what
we're
going
to
do,
but
I
think
that
we
need
to
do
a
study
to
figure
out
what
is
needed
for
the
animal
shelter.
So
these
are
kind
of
like
the
things
coming
up
and
I
know
they're,
not
very
aesthetically
oriented,
because
HVAC
is
exciting
to
pretty
much
nobody,
but
they
are
the
things
that
keep
the
buildings
in
operation
all.
V
V
AG
Miksa
this
is
going
to
sound
terrible,
but
the
revenue
generation
is
really
not
the
businesses
I'm
finding
from
the
most
part.
Yes,
I
mean
obviously
the
animal
shelter,
the
ecology
Center.
There
are
tenant
groups
that
fundraise
and
they
would
probably
be
willing
to.
We
haven't
necessarily
talked
to
them
about
all
this
and.
C
C
AG
AG
We
are
kind
of
spending.
We
are
spending
a
lot
of
money,
particularly
right
now,
but
that
there
are
a
lot
of
projects
coming
up
there,
a
larger
ticket
item,
but
this
is
basically
a
situation
where
the
water
system,
a
lot
of
it,
is
100
years
old
or
more
and
we
are
we
are
putting
together
and
we
have
been
working
towards
a
really
comprehensive
capital
program
that
allows
us
to
keep
our
water
system
in
the
situation.
AG
In
the
condition
we
need
to
be
able
to
continue
to
supply
water
reliably
and
but
again,
the
biggest
challenge
in
terms
of
revenue
really
is
just
as
inadequate
revenue
coming
in
to
cover
the
annual
water
main
replacement.
Now
the
strategy
which
is
not
mine
has
been
working
on,
for
at
least
eight
years
has
been
to
generate
additional
revenue,
primarily
through
three
methods,
the
first
being
the
pursuit
of
additional
wholesale
water
customers
and
days.
Stomac
has
given
you
many
updates
on
that,
but
that
has
been
reasonably
successful
and
we're
continuing
to
do
the
capital
improvements.
AG
Now
that
will
be
necessary
to
connect
the
customers
to
our
system
and
then
a
big
one.
That's
ongoing
is
this
renegotiation
of
the
Skokie
contract?
The
way
the
rates
are
structured,
they
really
aren't
dependent
on
the
Skokie,
paying
their
fair
share
of
the
capital
cost
needed
to
maintain
the
system,
and
that's
actually
one
of
the
sticking
points
they're
arguing
about,
and
why
is
it
has
not
been
solved
so
that
continues
to
be
worked
on
by
a
number
of
people,
the
same
management
office,
and
then
we
have
also
over
the
years
I
believe.
AG
Last
year
we
proposed
this
gradual
water
rate
increase
that
we
couple
with
a
sewer
rate
decrease
that
allows
us
to
raise
the
water
rate
in
a
way
that's
revenue
or
expense
neutral
to
the
residents,
and
we
can
do
that
because
we're
retiring
a
lot
of
sewer
debt
right
now
from
the
long
range
sewer
program,
and
that
allows
us
to
be
able
to
do
this
and
then
better
afford
our
own
capital
program
for
the
water
side.
So
we
just
need
to
sort
of
stay
the
course
and
continue
working
through
all
of
this
stuff.
AG
There's
a
good
plan,
and
these
are
the
projects
that
we
have
proposed
next
year
that
are
over
five
hundred
thousand.
This
Emerson
Street
water
meter
vault
is
specifically
related
to
the
wholesale
customers,
and
then
we
have
a
freight
elevator
issue
at
the
water
plant
and
various
things,
and
you
can
see
we're
funded
by
water
fund
and
I
EPA
loan,
the
treated
water
storage
project.
This
is
for
next
year.
Only
it
is
about
a
twenty
million
dollar
project.
All
in
mark.
A
AG
AG
This
structure
was
built
in
1934
and
was
estimated
to
have
about
an
eighty
year
life,
and
so
we
did
a
life
cycle
cost
analysis
to
determine.
Would
it
be
more
effective
to
just
put
a
new
roof
on
a
structure
that
is
as
old
as
it
is,
and
then
or
do
we
just
replace
the
whole
structure
the
new
roof
would
have
gained
is
about
20
years,
maybe
in
extending
the
life,
and
then
we
would
have
likely
had
to
replace
the
structure.
AG
So
it
was
determined
to
be
more
cost-effective
to
just
replace
the
structure
in
the
long
term,
and
part
of
that
has
to
do
also
with
getting
a
low-interest
loan
from
the
iepa
and
then
our
custom.
Our
wholesale
customers,
like
the
Northwest
Water
Commission,
participate
in
paying
back
that
loan.
Essentially,
it's
such
a
rate
that
90%
of
the
cost
of
the
replacement
was
essentially
going
to
be
borne
by
the
wholesale
water
customers,
just
the
way
that
the
financials
worked
out.
So
it
seemed
very
cost
effective
for
Evanston
residents.
AG
It
was
a
more
reliable
way
of
proceeding,
but
we
have
an
easement
to
own
and
operate
the
structure
on
Northwestern
University's
property
under
what
is
currently
a
parking
lot.
As
long
as
we
have
the
water
plan
in
the
location
Sen,
but
that
is
really
limiting
in
terms
of
what
can
we
do
as
we
build
a
new
one,
we
can
essentially
put
a
structure
back
and
exactly
the
same
footprint
as
the
existing
structure.
AG
There's
a
lot
of
impacts
to
Northwestern
University's
property
because
they
have
buildings
are
located
very
close
to
the
structure
that
goes
30
feet
down,
but
we've
been
working
closely
with
them
to
coordinate
that
and
Northwestern
has
been
really
cooperative
and
they
are
back
to
having
their
contractor
and
store
some
protective
sheeting
that
we
will
be
able
to
use
during
the
construction
along
one
side
of
the
reservoir
that
borders
some
of
their
buildings.
So
it
is
a
huge
project
undertaking
we've
been
working
on
it
about
three
years
so
far.
AG
The
construction
itself
will
be
about
20
months
long
in
construction,
a
substantial
portion
that
time
it
is
likely
that
we're
going
to
have
to
take
Campus,
Drive
and
Lincoln
Street
at
that
corner
down
to
one
lane
and
have
stoplights
so
I
mean
it's
a
it's
a
big
coordination
issue,
but
again,
we've
just
been
working
with
Northwestern
to
try
to
work
out
all
these
issues
as
we
go
and
we're
done.
We
expect
it
to
be
a
hundred-year
structure,
but.
AG
AG
If
we
contract
out
more
engineering
and
architecture
so
that
our
staff
essentially
spends
more
time
project
managing
and
less
time
designing,
then
we
can
do
more
projects
and
then
the
other
way
we
can
deal
with
it
is
right.
Now
we
do
a
lot
of
small
projects
in
just
a
few
large
projects.
If
we
bundle
projects
together
and
make
just
a
bunch
of
a
fewer
number
of
large
projects,
then
we
could
also
continue
to
increase
the
number
of
projects
and
there's
a
limit
to
it.
AG
W
C
So
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
from
what
you've
heard
in
our
estimations,
we
do
not
believe
we
have
the
financial
capacity
really
to
do
much
more
in
2018
other
than
an
approximate
blueprint
of
what
we've
done
in
2017
are,
as
I
think.
You've
heard,
and
certainly
mr.
Lyons
can
talk
further
about.
If
you'd,
like
our
ability
to
issue
general
obligation,
debt,
we
feel
is
limited.
C
I
think
the
council
has
made
it
very
clear
that
you're
not
just
in
raising
property
taxes
to
increase
debt
payments,
so
we
likely
will
need
to
keep
a
steady
state
in
2018.
However,
I
think
you
can
also
take
away
from
tonight's
presentation,
but
that
is
not
a
viable
option,
moving
forward,
much
longer
that
we
have
greater
needs
that
will
need
to
be
paid
for
in
some
manner.
C
So
our
hope
is
that
we
can
have
continued
discussions
with
you
at
the
beginning
of
next
year
to
really
drill
down
a
little
bit
further
into
some
of
these
issues.
I
think
we've
done
great
work
over
the
last
few
years
on
on
our
streets,
but
certainly
our
parks
have
suffered
greatly
and
I
think
we
need
to
to
revisit
that.
C
You
know
there's
a
long,
long,
long
history
of
discussions
about
this
building,
which
I
think
looks
better
and
is
utilized
more
efficiently
today
than
it
was
when
I
arrived
here
eight
years
ago,
but
the
innards
of
the
building,
the,
as
you
heard
the
steam
plan
is,
has
issues
of
the
electrical
systems
have
issues
we
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
ignore
those
for
much
longer.
I
think
we'll
continue
to
work
hard
on
streets
of
at
the
end
of
the
day.
C
We
don't
have
the
money
to
do
all
this,
so
we
would
hope
that
the
council,
mr.
mayor,
will
take
time
after
the
operating
budget
is
concluded
and
we
can
focus
more
on
that
in
2018.
So
if
there
are
specific
capital
needs
that
you,
as
members
of
the
council,
feel
have
not
been
discussed,
what
you
feel
are
critical
issues
in
your
ward.
I
would
urge
you
to
reach
out
to
me
reach
out
to
mr.
snow
Beck,
there's
a
bigs
to
talk
about
over
the
next
a
few
weeks.
C
V
You
mr.
mayor
and
Thank
You
Wally
and
Thank
You
Laura,
this
was
a
wonderful
presentation
and
very
easy
to
understand.
I
I
wish
we
had
had
this
conversation
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
tonight
when
there
were
more
people
here,
I
think
it's
it's.
It
would
have
been
very
helpful
for
them
to
hear
this
and
to
kind
of
understand
how
this
impacts
decisions
that
we
have
to
make
that
maybe
are
a
little
bit
closer
to
their
to
home
for
them.
But
this
is.
This
is
a
reality
that
we
face
so
maybe
mr.
manager.
Mr.
C
Lastly,
we
have
a
second
quarter
financial
report
in
your
mid-year
budget
update
mr.
Lyons
is
here
I
think
you
have
kind
of
combined
the
two
or
you
will
combine
the
two.
As
you
talk
as
we've
said
in
the
written
documents
in
tonight's
packet,
we
have
some
concerns
about
the
current
year
budget.
We
would
like
to
you
know,
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
where
we're
at
and
then
hopefully
engaged
in
a
little
bit
of
discussion
on
next
steps
for
the
remainder
of
this
year.
As
we
look
forward
then
into
2018
is
joins.
Thank.
AE
You
city
manager,
both
quotes.
Mr.
mayor
members
of
council
clerk,
read
Oh
normally
I
get
to
follow
some
update,
upbeat
presentation
and
then
I
come
in
and
talk
about
financials,
so
Laura
really
stole
my
thunder
as
far
as
already
having
a
big
presentation.
So
this
is
the
more
this
presentation,
as
the
city
manager
pointed
out,
is
a
combination
of
where
we
at
quarterly
report,
but,
as
we
noted
in
our
memo,
we're
doing
this
a
month
early
because
we
were
concerned
over
where
we're
at
on
the
revenue
side
of
things.
AE
So
normally
we
would
wait
until
the
August
report
to
do
a
second
quarter
analysis.
So
without
with
that
being
said,
looking
at
this,
you
see
that
our
budget,
which
right
there
54
million
and
54
million
you
might
think.
That
means
we're
we're
doing
well,
but
actually
we're
usually
doing
much
better
than
that
at
this
time
in
a
given
year.
So
at
45%
of
budgeting
both
cases
while
that's
good,
it
is
not
where
we
want
to
be
and
I'll
point
out.
Why?
AE
If
you
look
at
that
bottom,
two
charts
that
purple
on
the
bottom
shows
our
cash
balance
dropping
off
compared
to
a
year
ago
that
our
cash
balance
was
accelerating
the
Green
Line
was.
It
was
in
much
better
shape
and
there's
a
couple
of
temporary
reasons
for
that
that
aren't
something
that
is
a
part
of
a
structural
issue
that
I'll
get
into,
but
it
is
something
we
do
need
to
address
long
term
when
we
think
about
operating
and
capital.
So
why
did
this
happen?
AE
Well,
our
cash
is
seven
million
dollars
and
below
12
million
biggest
reason
is
three
payrolls
in
June,
and
this
happens
when
you
pay
bi-weekly
instead
of
the
15th
and
30th
of
a
month,
then
you
end
up
with
every
so
many
years.
27
pay
periods
in
a
year,
that's
a
real
killer
for
a
cash
basis
system
and
for
our
audit.
We
fix
that.
But
in
this
case
our
June
report
has
three
payrolls
and
last
year
only
had
two.
So
we
looked
like
we're
in
a
lot
better
shape.
AE
It
was
just
a
matter
of
timing,
but
the
other
thing
that's
working
here
is:
we
do
have
an
issue
of
our
economic
development,
related
revenues
being
below
budget
and
I'm
going
to
go
into
what
that
means
when
we
go
through
the
rest
of
the
report.
So
when
you
look
at
our
revenues,
I
really
appreciate
a
lot
of
the
questions
I
had
regarding
the
memorandum,
fifty
two
and
a
half
percent
for
our
property
taxes.
That's
really
great.
AE
We
are
right
on
target
for
property
taxes,
because
when
you're
paid
55
percent
of
the
prior
year's
tax
levy
for
our
first
installment
and
that's
what's
in
so
far,
we
raised
our
the
levy,
that's
included
in
here.
We
raised
it
up
by
a
little
over
two
percent
for
the
pension
is
that
included
in
the
general
fund.
Now
so
a
2%
increase
overall
and
fifty-five
percent
of
a
smaller
levy.
AE
So
that's
not
a
bad
thing,
but
the
biggest
item
up
there
is
you
look
at
our
permit
revenue
at
20
percent
eleven
point:
six
million
budgeted
and
2.4
million
in
you'll
hear
me
saying
a
lot
tonight
about
permit
revenue
and
then
building
permit
revenue.
Building.
Permit
revenue
is
just
a
subset
of
all
of
our
permit
revenue,
so
we
have
permits
for
HVAC
for
electrical
for
plumbing.
AE
They
all
fall
into
the
permit
pot,
but
building
permits
are
the
ones
you
usually
hear
and
that's
strictly
just
the
building
permit
review
itself,
not
all
of
our
ancillary
either
way
we're
way
under
budget
year
today
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
and
Johanna
Leonard
will
also
I.
Think
if
we
have
the
time
we'll
talk
briefly
about
what's
going
on,
because
we
do
have
a
good
handle
on
what's
going
on,
we
just
don't
like
it
so
overall
45%
I.
Think
what's
important.
AE
To
note
is
that
footnote
that
says
we
were
at
57
million
last
year
in
a
smaller
budget,
so
our
revenues
are
three
million
below
where
they
were
last
year
in
a
slightly
smaller
budget.
He
jumped
to
the
you
know,
though,
so
why
is
this
again?
The
we
are
looking
at
state
funds
included
today
in
this
presentation
we
didn't
know
what
the
state
was
doing
so
I.
We
kept
this
presentation
close
to
what
the
memo
says.
I
didn't
want
to
have
too
many
mixed
messages
in
there.
We
will
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
state's
budget.
AE
However,
now
the
big
thing
is
is
that
we
will
see
a
reduction
in
local
government
distributive
funds
in
the
1718
state
year,
but
we
did
not
get
a
property
tax
freeze,
so
that
is
good.
Good
news
from
a
perspective
of
our
flexibility
with
our
revenues
going
forward,
certainly
helps
us
with
pension
issues
and
get
service
issues.
AE
So
the
local
revenues,
though
our
general
tax
revenues,
income
and
sales-
they
are
lower
than
projected
to
the
tune
of
anywhere
from
400,000
for
just
economically
driven
issues
for
income
tax
and
closer
to
seven
to
eight
hundred
thousand
for
sales
tax.
So
over
a
million
dollars
under
budget
in
those
two
areas,
the
Illinois
Municipal
League
did
not
project
this
and
we
do
use
them.
The
Department
of
Revenue
did
not
project
this.
AE
This
all
started
occurring
in
March
April
of
this
year,
as
we
got
a
got
glimpses
of
where
we
were
looking
at
for
how
the
economy
was
progressing
so
and
then,
as
I
noted
before,
permit
and
revenue
timing
will
be
discussed
a
little
bit
later,
but
it
really
comes
down
to
our
baseline
permits
are
actually
doing
very
well
the
permits
for
what
I
would
say
for
home
improvements,
smaller
smaller
projects,
those
are
coming
in
close
to
budget.
It
is
the
timing
of
some
major
projects
that
are
not
all
Northwestern.
AE
A
I
just
want
to
restate
something
that
you
said,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
everybody
up
here
and
myself
included,
understand
it.
You
said
that
Illinois
Municipal
League
didn't-didn't
project
this
another
way
to
state.
This
is
the
decrease
that
we're
seeing
in
our
sales
tax
and
in
our
economy
here
is
not
unique
to
Evanston
that
other
communities
are
experiencing.
The
same
thing
is
that
true,
yes,.
AE
AE
Those
continue
to
be
down,
but
that's
also
offset
by
all
of
our
parking
comply
of
our
parking
fee
revenues
for
meters
being
way
up.
It's
not
quite
a
one-to-one
relationship,
but
it
is
close,
and
so
that
means
we
have
a
lot
of
folks
using
parking
meters
and
paying
their
for
their
meter
tank
and
not
paying
tickets.
And
that's
a
that's
a
great
thing.
We
always
have
said
we
do
not
do
that.
AE
We
are
not
in
the
ticket
business
to
raise
revenue,
we're
in
that
business
to
have
compliance,
so
that
is
still
working,
but
we
reduced
this
budget
last
year
and
we're
still
under
that
reduced
amount.
So
it
is
something
to
discuss
this
fall
so
on
the
expense
side.
What
we're
looking
at
I'll
just
call
your
attention
straight
to
the
bottom
last
year
again
because
of
that
payroll
issue
were
at
49
million
and
we're
at
54
million
this
year.
So
you
see
revenues
down
3
million
at
the
six-month
mark
expenses
up
5
million.
AE
So
that's
a
lot
of
that's
timing,
but
it
will
follow
through
towards
the
end.
We
do
not
want
to
project
that
we're
going
to
be
10
million
is
under
at
the
end
of
the
year.
That's
not
what
we're
saying,
but
these
are
the
our
issues
we're
facing
right
now
and
when
I
show
you
a
report
that
says
gee
were
five
million
dollars
lower
in
cash.
I
want
to
be
able
to
explain
why.
So
so?
Why
is
that?
AE
Yet
we
haven't
settled
the
contracts,
so
we
have
budgeted
a
1.5%
increase,
but
none
of
that's
in
the
actual,
so
that
will
be
a
major
increase
that
will
hit
in
the
second
half
and
then
parts
of
Recreation
and
community
services,
while
they're
at
40
1.65
last
year.
At
this
time
they
were
at
34%,
so
they're
running
a
little
bit
more
than
usual.
It
doesn't
look
like
they're
over
budget,
but
the
bulk
of
their
expenses
also
happened
in
the
summertime
and
they're,
not
all
showing
up
yet
in
this
process.
AE
So,
on
a
slightly
better
note,
the
Public
Works
Agency
that
42%
is
actually
a
fairly
solid
number
because
we
have
went
through
their
numbers.
They
have
some
vacancies
they're
under
because
of
the
warm
weather
and
the
lack
of
snow
expenses.
So
that's
a
fairly
we're
pretty
confident
in
that
number.
So.
AE
What
does
it
mean
like?
As
I
just
noted?
Those
departments
are
running
a
little
bit
over
we'll
review
these
in
more
detail
tonight.
We're
talking
about
revenues
in
two
weeks.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
expenses,
but
you
can
see
by
the
hour
if
we
had
the
whole
thing
in
tonight.
It
just
wouldn't
have
worked,
so
we
decided
to
break
up
the
discussion
tonight
in
that
manner.
You
talked
about
the
other
departments
running
wall,
the
three
payrolls
in
June
and
expenses
not
being
evenly
distributed
and
the
general
wage
increase
is
not
in
our
actuals.
AE
Yet
as
we
hope
for
a
new
alderman,
the
we
would
not
do
the
non-bargaining
increase
until
the
bargaining
unit
contracts
are
settled
so
from
January
1,
the
start
of
our
fiscal
year.
To
now
there
hasn't
been
a
general
wage
increase
given,
but
there
would
still
be
the
contract
practice
of
retro
in
that
back
and
then
we
also
treat
non-bargaining
the
same
way
or
we
end
up
with
more
bargaining
personnel.
AE
So
that's
the
end
of
the
general
fund.
We
always
like
to
make
sure
we
keep
you
updated
on
the
enterprise
funds.
They
are
all
doing
very
well.
There's
no
surprises
new
council
members
had
a
lot
of
questions
about.
Why
are
we
running
a
solid
waste
fund
in
the
red
and
we
started
off
much
further
in
the
red
due
to
decisions
in
2012
that
were,
we
didn't
want
to
raise
the
refuse
fees
that
high
that
quick
to
make
the
solid
waste
fund
self-sustaining.
AE
So
we
started
off
in
a
negative
position
and
it
has
eaten
in
a
way
anywhere
between
fifty
and
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
its
deficit
each
year,
and
we
consider
whether
to
make
a
change
on
that
each
year
and
it's
been
steady
as
you
as
you
know,
as
it
goes
to
just
say.
Well,
let's
keep
an
eye
on
it.
The
rates
are
set
so
that
it's
eating
into
the
deficit.
We
have
bigger
issues
of
concern.
AE
As
the
capital
discussion
pointed
out
tonight,
water
sewer
and
parking
they'll
always
be
substantially
further
under
budget
on
the
expense
side,
depending
on
the
amount
of
capital
projects
being
done
and
in
the
case
of
water
and
sewer,
we
usually
haven't
build
all
of
our
summer
months
at
this
point,
so
those
will
be
our
biggest
billing
timeframes.
So
it's
very
you
know
it's
definitely
the
case
in
the
sewer
fund.
Forty
nine
percent-
that's
great
because
it
doesn't
have
much
in
the
way
of
bonds.
AE
It
will
have
higher
revenues
in
the
third
quarter
in
the
case
of
the
water
fund
that
did
have
borrowing
in
there
and
that's
not
reflected
yet
we
haven't
done
any
borrowing
and
that's
why
the
sewer
fund
is
at
37
percent
on
the
revenues.
So
again,
the
issue
is,
is
that
we
are
for
all
funds
on
our
revenues.
AE
They
do
vary
quite
a
bit.
A
general
fund
we've
talked
about
it.
Looking
at
the
pension
funds,
you
might
say:
why
is
it
only
at
33%?
The
only
thing
reflected
there
is
the
property
taxes.
We
do
our
investments
at
year-end
if
they're
all
in
the
stock
market,
they're
all
on
a
cruel,
cruel
basis.
So
you
won't
see
our
actual
investment
income
showing
up
until
we
convert
all
of
those
has
all
those
investments
and
we
actually
will
show
the
investments
being
closer
to
50%
or
coming
through
on
a
monthly
basis
like
they
should
so
the
revenues.
AE
There
is
definitely
no
surprise
there,
because
at
that
point
in
time,
or
at
this
point
in
time
we
would
have
close
to
20
million
in
bond
proceeds
for
the
whole
year
being
done
between
water
sewer
parking
and
our
general
obligation
bonds.
So
if
you
added
ten
million
dollars
into
this,
we're
at
closer
to
fifty
percent
across
all
funds
for
our
revenues,
fainting
and
a
way
of
expenses
and
when
you
throw
in
capital
expenses
lagging
behind
that's
why
once
we
drew
in
the
our
expenses
for
capital,
we
would
get
closer
to
fifty
percent.
AE
There's
no
surprises,
as
far
as
where
we're
at
you
see
that
the
capital
only
has
three
million
five
hundred
thousand
invoiced.
We
still
have,
as
this
big
pointed
out,
twenty
nine
million
dollars
of
projects
already
approved
by
you.
So
it's
just
a
matter
of
timing.
Those
will
all
come
through
in
the
next
six
to
eight
months
as
expenses.
AE
AE
AE
Two
million
is
our
total
for
building
permits
and
we're
projecting
that
we
could
be
anywhere
from
two
to
two
point:
seven
million
dollars
below
budget,
and
that
is
mainly
due
to
several,
not
even
several
about
three
to
four
major
projects
that
may
not
come
in
on
time,
but
we
have
a
high
confidence
that
they
will
come
in
next
year,
so
that
that's
good
news
but
as
we
know,
we
have
to
hit
a
fund
balance
number
or
when
we
do
our
bond.
So
that's
why
we're
talking
about
this
issue?
AE
We
do
not
want
to
be
in
a
situation.
We
were
three
years
ago
where
we
did
not
project
this
correctly.
I've
mentioned
income
tax
and
sales
tax
shortfalls
that
is
different
than
income
tax
sales,
tax
cuts
from
the
state.
So
we'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
more
next
week,
but
those
are
shortfalls
from
our
projections
and
then,
as
we
noted,
the
current
union
contracts
that
are
potentially
out
there
are
2.75%
for
2017
and
we
budgeted
1.5%.
So
we
have
to
come
up
with
those
dollars.
AE
The
amend
on
a
more
positive
note,
there's
potential
for
two
and
a
half
just
under
two
net
million
and
expense
cuts
from
departments
two
year-end.
So
we
have
some
cuts
that
are
just
happening
like
the
warm
winter,
but
then
we've
also
asked
departments
to
go
ahead
and
provide
us
with
what
they
would
do
if
they
had
to
reduce
their
budget
by
two
and
a
half
percent
and
where
we
know
the
due
date
for
that
was
just
today.
So
we're
not
talking
about
that
tonight.
AE
AE
AE
If
building
permit
revenue
is
delayed
even
further
or
some
of
the
projects
don't
come
through,
we
could
see
it
being
four
point:
seven
million
they're
only
being
at
about
fifty
percent
of
budget.
We
don't
think
that's
the
high
probability.
We
think
scenario.
One
is
much
higher
probability
same
with
income
tax
and
sales
tax
shortfalls
of
we're
much
more
comfortable.
The
idea
of
scenario
two
is
to
identify
a
worst-case
scenario.
So
in
this
scenario,
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
the
in
both
scenarios
we're
talking
about
when
would
we
do
a
general
wage
increase?
AE
So
please
note
that
general
wage
increase
going
all
the
way
back
to
January
cost
more
than
one
that
only
goes
back
to
July,
but
most
union
contracts
would
retro
back
to
the
first
of
the
year
or
the
end
of
the
last
contract.
So
I'm
going
to
jump
back
to
scenario
two
and
then
point
out
the
difference.
That's
a
five
point:
five
million
dollar
deficit.
If
things
are
not
quite
worst-case,
but
still
fairly,
you
know
bad
off.
Overall,
you
have
less
in
the
permit
reductions.
All
of
our
revenues.
That's
the
big
issue.
AE
Lay
expenses
were
we're
fairly
confident
of
our
control
on
the
expense
side.
It's
those
revenues
that
are
our
issues.
So,
given
that
what
could
we
do
if
revenues
are
down,
there
are
some
revenues
that
take
time
to
put
in
place.
We
cannot
raise
a
property
tax
mid-year,
but
you
can
change
a
parking
ticket
revenue
which
is
a
general
fund
revenue.
We
can
do
our
own
local
motor
fuel
tax
and
we
can
do
liquor
tax
and
we
will
provide
in
the
future.
AE
Many
communities
have
gone
down
the
path
of
increasing
their
home
sales
tax
in
preparation
of
the
state
trying
to
take
10%
of
it
when
they
were
doing
their
budget
presentations.
What
does
that
mean
to
us?
Well,
it's
just
under
a
million
dollars
if
we
get
it
immediately,
but
it's
2.9
million
for
an
entire
year
so
fairly
large
numbers.
AE
But
given
our
situation,
3
million
deficit,
5
million
deficit,
that's
the
kind
of
impress
the
kind
of
members
that
we
do
need
to
look
at
for
a
balanced
expense
considerations
that
we
talked
about,
trying
to
negotiate
only
doing
the
retroactivity
by
July
1
departments
giving
their
own
preliminary
ideas
on
how
to
cut
expenses
this
year.
It's
important
to
stress
that
this
is
all
a
this
year
discussion
that
next
year's
budget.
How
do
we
finish
this
year?.
W
W
AE
AH
So
we're
we
did
this
this
morning
to
anticipate
this
question
good
evening.
Johanna
Leonard
community
volunteer
Ector,
so
this
is
small
fun
I'm
just
going
to
read
through
and
try
to
explain.
What's
going
on
so
in
the
middle
column,
where
there's
some
zeros,
that's
where
we're
at
today
with
permit
revenue.
AH
The
vision
test
for
everybody,
so
if
you
go
I'll
just
read
the
product
I-
can
give
a
verbal
on
this
Welsh
Ryan's
project
we
have
not
received
a
permit
on,
nor
have
we
permit
fees
for
nor
the
tech,
a
B
wing
infill
on
Northwestern's
campus,
and
that's
because
they
were
still
going
through
the
MWR
D
permitting
process,
and
that's
my
understanding
is
that
is
just
about
completed.
We
anticipate
in
the
coming
months
a
month
and
a
half
that
we
would.
We
would
receive
those
revenues.
AH
Next
up
is
the
Jacob
Center
on
Sheridan
Road,
which
is
the
former
Kellogg
center
space.
We
haven't
received
those
revenues,
but
we
anticipate
receiving
a
portion
of
that
project
which
was
budgeted
at
1.5
million.
We
anticipate
receiving
the
half
of
that
before
the
end
of
the
year
continue
to
go
down.
We
we
estimate
about
a
million
dollars
for
the
year
for
various
northwestern
projects.
They
do
different
small
projects
throughout
the
campus
that
comes
to
a
total
of
million
dollars.
AH
1815
Ridge
was
budgeted
at
a
little
over
half
a
million
dollars
that
has
not
come
in
and
we
don't
anticipate
it
starting
this
year
and
the
same
thing
for
831
Emerson
that
they
have
to
do
demolition
some
environmental
work.
We
staff
spoke
to
the
their
project
manager
today
and
they're,
anticipating
coming
in
early
2018
for
their
projects.
So
we
have
indicated
we
will
work
with
them
to
move
this
forward
as
quickly
as
possible.
But
it
sounds
like
a
beginning
of
2018.
AH
Then
I
did
skip
over
824
noise,
which
is
they
are
providing
on-site
units
for
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
of
a
within
the
ordinance.
They
are
allowed
to
defer
their
payment
of
fees
until
they've
received
their
temporary
certificate
of
occupancy.
So
we
won't
receive
those
until
they're
complete
until
they
receive
that.
AH
AA
AE
That
was
based
on
actuals
and
that
that
was
based
on
a
review
with
departments.
Where
did
they
think
they
would
be
at
the
end
of
the
year
without
going
through
a
purposeful
reduction?
Now,
when
they
do
the
reports
they're
giving
to
us
now,
some
of
it
will
be
duplicated.
It
wasn't.
We
didn't
request
two
and
a
half
percent
on
top
of,
for
instance,
Dave
stone
back
in
Public
Works
Agency
is
going
to
be
six
or
seven
percent
under
budget.
We
hope
we
didn't
say
now
get
another
two
and
a
half
percent
can.
A
A
Okay,
so
this
is
a
scenario
one
right,
so
Department
estimates,
2.4
million
I.
Guess
the
point
that
I'm
trying
to
show
between
your
scenario
1
in
your
scenario,
2
it's
even
with
the
Department
estimates
of
you
know.
You
know
soft.
You
know
reductions
that
they
that
they
can
make
we're
still
right
now,
showing
a
deficit
between
scenario,
1
&,
2
of
3
million
dollars
and
5.5
million
dollars,
even
with,
though
even
with
those
reductions.
AE
Because
the
third
leg
of
the
stool
would
be,
can
we
use
fund
balance
and
we
really
can't
we're
below
our
minimum
and
it
would
send
the
wrong
signal.
Our
cost
for
borrowing
would
go
up
and
just
in
a
general
sense,
we
want
that
2
months
worth
of
reserves
so
that
we
can
operate
in
routine
routine
times.
If
we
were
up
at
16,
17
percent,
we
could
say
to
the
council,
could
say:
can
we
take
1
million
from
reserves?
A
A
Is
that
because
that
Kirk
is
that
correct
I
know
there
were
stuff
and
I
saw
emails
going
back
and
forth,
giving
you
extra
payments,
but
at
the
end
end
of
the
day
is
the
amount
of
money
that
we
get
back
for
income
tax,
which
is
a
local
government
distributive
fund,
is
that
equal
to
what
it
was
before
June
30th
or
will
it
be
reduced?
And
if
it's
going
to
be
reduced?
How
much
is
that
going
to
be
reduced,
and
is
that
reflected
in
your
scenario?
So.
AE
Second
question:
first:
it's
not
reflected
in
scenario,
one
which
I
think
is
the
scenario
we'll
want
to
go
forward
with
especially
have
we
done
a
a
much
more
in-depth
look
at
the
permit
revenue?
I?
Don't
think
it
helps
us
to
say
we're
going
to
lose
four
point:
seven
when
we
think
there's
a
real
chance.
It
will
only
be
two
point
seven,
but
to
your
point,
the
way
the
statute
and
the
way
it's
been
sold
is
that
don't
worry
municipalities,
you
will
get
14
payments
in
a
1718
year,
meaning
July
1st
17
through
June
30th
18.
AE
That's
the
states
here
and
that
doesn't
help
us
in
2017,
because
we're
going
to
and
it's
also
payments
we
already
properly
track
our
actual
income
tax
by
the
amount
we
shouldn't
receive.
So
when
the
state
decides
to
give
it
to
us
is
not
material
to
our
financial
reports.
We
recognize
the
revenue
when
it's
earned
by
the
city
of
Evanston,
so
when
the
state
decides
to
give
it
to
us,
does
not
matter
it
matters
to
our
cash
balance,
but
not
to
what
the
bond
bond
folks
will
look
at
they'll.
AE
Look
at
our
fund
balance
and
say:
okay,
you
hit
your
revenue
or
you
didn't
not.
What
was
your
cash?
So
in
this
case,
while
they'll
give
us
14
payment
months
for
our
calendar
year
in
2017
we're
going
to
get
12
months
six
months
at
budgeted
amount
and
six
months,
10%
less
than
what
we
thought.
That's
the
legislation.
Okay,.
W
W
What
he
just
said,
but
that's
not
that
is
I,
mean
every
single.
Every
single
report
that
we've
received
is
where
there
are
14
payments,
they're
going
to
take
10%,
but
we're
actually
going
to
get
13
payments,
which
equates
to
a
little
bit
more
than
the
12
payments
we
got
previously.
I
mean
everything
that
we
read
matters.
AE
AE
I
will
be
happy
to
be
wrong,
if
that's
the
case,
but
I.
We
we
definitely,
we
record
all
of
our
payments
from
the
state
at
year-end
when
there
are
two
months
behind.
We
record
those
two
months
into
the
right
year,
even
though
we
haven't
gotten
them
yet
their
receivable
and
that's
where
so
this
year
we
won't
call
more
receivable,
we
will
ever
sit,
have
received
them,
but
we
would
still
book
them
as
revenue
in
the
right
year.
So.
A
Let's
do
this
because
I
think
it's
like
the
Cook
County
minimum
wage
ordinance
lots
of
questions
uncertainty,
particularly
with
the
sick
time,
and
people
want
to
understand.
You
know
if
you
guys
don't
mind,
just
talking,
certainly
to
the
Illinois
Municipal
League
again
talking
to
your
peers
and
just
making
sure
that
we
we
understand
and
have
it
right,
because
it
seems
a
little
convoluted
just
all
done
on
the
4th
of
July.
Exactly
exactly
there's.
AH
The
the
baseline
is
when
people
get
permits
to
do
their
kitchen
or
or
other
home
rehab
projects
that
that's
the
baseline.
Those
are
the
the
smaller
projects
that
are
incrementally
large
enough
to
estimate
three
million.
So
that's
based
on
previous
year's
performance
and
in
looking
at
tracking
over
the
over
the
previous
years.
AE
And
again,
I
do
want
to
Anna
cautionary
bit
of
optimism,
we're
not
saying
that
the
projects
won't
ever
happen
or
talking
about
timing
and
how
we
close
the
year.
So
when
you
look
at
the
sheet
that
we
handed
out,
there
is
a
1815
Ridge.
If
that
goes
through,
it
will
be
five
hundred
and
fifty
six
thousand
in
2018
that
we
budgeted
in
2017.
AE
That's
still
a
revenue
that
we
can
count
on
in
the
next
year.
It
does
come
down
to
whether
you
feel
the
large
projects
like
this
are
ongoing
base
numbers
or
one
time
that
we
might
use
differently
for
operating
versus
other
one-time
expenses
and
that
so
I
don't
want
to
get
into
that
at
this
late
hour.
That's
something
we'll
be
talking
about
during
the
budget
cycle.
Thank.
AC
You
for
Smith
and
Marty
I'm
trying
to
stay
awake
here,
but
you
know
struggling
actually,
but
I
want
to
touch
on
that
baseline
revenue
and
I've
had
some
conversations
with
the
permitting
Department
and
seems
like
there's
a
long
delay
getting
these
permits
through
I
know
this
is
a
small
number,
but
it
I've
had
a
couple
of
conversations
with
Johanna.
Is
there
anything
that
we
can
do
from
a
staff
perspective
to
deal
with
the
backlog?
Now
that.
AE
C
AA
C
AI
The
resources
and
and
I
think
the
main
you
know
when
you
talk
about
delay.
Plan
review
is
probably
the
the
major
piece
of
that.
We
have
the
same
staff
that
we've
had
actually
we've
had
a
reduction
in
staff
over
the
years.
Our
permit
activity
continues
to
grow
and
even
like
this
year,
when
you're
seeing
revenues
down,
we
still
have
the
same
amount
of
permits
that
we
did
last
year.
They're
just
they're,
smaller,
so
I
think
that
we
we
do
use.
AI
AC
AC
C
One
of
the
challenges-
Aldmeri
members,
the
council
we
have-
is
finding
them
that
that
that
it
is
nearly
impossible
to
find
full
time
staff
to
do
this
work
safe
building,
which
I
think
many
of
you
know
but
may
be.
Members
of
the
public
don't
know,
is
a
there's.
A
third
party
that
provides
contract
staff
members
I
think
we're
using
them
to
the
really
the
greatest
extent
possible.
C
They
are
also
having
difficulty
with
staff
so
finding
the
the
qualified
people
to
do
this
work
has
been
a
challenge
for
us
and
really
all
of
our
neighboring
communities
that
you
know
we
stole
Gary
from
someone
and
we
stole
Hanif
is
our
main
planchette
person
from
someone.
So
it
is
a
challenge
for
us,
but
certainly
we're
willing
to
continue
to
talk
with
safe
built-ins.
They
are
really
the
main
provider
of
contract
staffing
in
this
area,
and
if
we
can
get
additional
resources,
we
will.
C
So,
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
council,
our
plan,
then,
is
to
come
back
to
you
on
the
24th.
We
are
going
to
propose
a
scenario
that
will
be
the
best
of
our
abilities,
a
balanced
budget
for
the
balance
of
2017
Marty.
Maybe
if
you
could
show
the
revenue
enhancement
slide
again
of
staff,
the
budget
staff
has
an
excellent
job.
Looking
at
some
of
the
options
there,
my
sense
of
the
City
Council
is
that
the
sales
tax,
the
liquor
tax
and
the
gas
tax
increases
are
probably
not
tenable.
C
At
this
juncture,
is
that
a
fair
assessment,
the
boot
regulation
change?
We
would
like
to
come
back
to
you
and
talk
more
about
on
the
24th.
We
have
procured
a
a
different
device
that
we
believe
will
will
help
us
with
the
issue
of
booting
vehicles.
It
is
a
device
that
covers
the
windshield,
not
the
car,
not
the
wheel.
It
is
called
the
barnacle
and
it's
a
real
thing
we
need
to.
We
need
to
change
a
couple
of
yes,
because
it's
exactly
where
we
found
it.
C
C
Barnacle,
the
head
of
our
we
other
communities
around
the
country
have
also
started
using
it
in
a
reported
success.
So
it
is
a
little
little
non-standard,
but
we
believe
could
be
helpful
to
us
in
collecting
additional
dollars
and
then
finally,
the
parking
ticket
increase.
We
would
like
to
come
forward
to
the
council
for
your
consideration
on
the
24th
and
adjustments
of
the
parking
ticket,
so
those
would
be
the
two
of
those.
What
is
that
five
major
revenue
increases
that
the
budget
staff
has
dutifully
developed.
C
C
Livability
plan
in
a
Central
Street
master
plan
also
included
on
the
schedule,
is
the
annual
Saturday
morning
meeting
for
the
annual
public
hearing
on
the
budget
and
we're
proposing
that
for
Saturday
October
28th.
So
before
we
leave
this
item,
mr.
mayor,
we
would
ask
that
the
council
concur
with
the
general
direction
that
we're
outlining
and
also
approve
this
budget
calendar.

Thank
You
mr.

our
first
I'm
going
to
read
the
special
orders
of
business.
Those
have
to
be
moved.
The
first
item
was
the
capital

I'm,
going
to
move
that
for
action.
Second
is
the
second

asking

We're

We
have
the
request

read,
which
we
agreed
to

going
to
be
redone

sent

approval.
So
I'm,
that's
not

action.
It's
probably
being
held
at
the
council
level.

W

AC
A
X
X
I
have
I
have
add
a
lot
of
discussions
with
people
over
the
last
several
weeks
and
I've
been
doing
a
lot
of
research
about
drone
ordinances.
I
would
like
to
do
I'd
like
to
offer
an
amendment
tonight
to
this
that
changes
it
somewhat
and
then
I
would
also
like
to
hold
it
to
the
date
certain
of
July
24th.
So
we
get
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
comment
on
the
amendment
Lang
a
mandatory
language
that
I'm
offering
tonight.
X
So
if
you
look
at
your
ordinance
under
section
9,
5
15,
which
is
operating
regulations,
I,
am
proposing
the
essence
of
my.
My
amendment
is
to
continue
to
have
a
drone
ordinance
with
certain
regulations
but
to
permit
drone
usage
in
city
parks
in
schools
near
schools
and
school
yards
when
school
is
not
in
session,
and
otherwise
the
ordinance
would
stay
the
same.
So
the
language
I
would
change,
would
be
subsection.
X
A
of
9,
5,
15,
2,
operating
regulations
and
I
would
change
it
to
say
that
drones
are
not
are
prohibited
from
being
operated
over
any
city
of
Evanston
building
open-air
assembly
unit
school
when
in
session
schoolyard
when
school
is
in
session
hospital
or
place
of
worship
without
and
then
also
without
the
property
owners
content.
So
that's
the
language
that
I
would
like
to
change
and
then
hold
this
to
a
date.
Certain
of
July,
24th
and.

Item
Oh
storefront
modernization
program,
application
for
2113,
Greenleaf
staff
and
Economic
Development
Committee
recommend
approval
of
financial
assistance
through
the
storefront
modernization
program
for
2113
Greenleaf
in
the
amount
not
to
exceed
$25,000
for
facade
renovations
associated
with
the
buildings
redevelopment
into
several
smaller
office
and
warehouse
spaces.
The
proposed
scope
of
work
includes
demolition,
masonry,
carpentry
glazing,
stucco,
concrete
and
metal
work.
The
economic
development
programs,
business
district
improvement
account
is
where
this
money
is
coming
from.
X
V
AB
V
Be
my
own
personal
bias,
but
I'm
hoping
not
I'm,
hoping
I
can
separate
that
out,
but
I
have
been
concerned
for
a
long
time
about
how
we're
using
this
money
and
what
what
we're
getting
for
it.
In
return
and
my
my
concern
really
is
to
end
up
with
buildings
that
are,
are
clean
and
functional
and
but
not
necessarily
for
a.
V
Y
So
I
asked
the
same
question
of
staff
as
I
was
reading
the
packet
because
I
know
in
the
design
of
the
building,
though
I
had
seen
several
and
I
think
I
had
seen
the
developer
last
year
and
so
to
answer
part
of
your
question
autumn
and
Fisk
I
know:
there's
been
several
buildings.
I
believe
that
we
participated
in
where
he's
participating
in
this
funding
line
for
one
being
39
thousand
dollars
in
2015,
but
I'm.
Y
So
my
concern
asking
and
staff
this
was
just
what
the
what
the
overall
goal
is
of
this
grant
I
mean
I'm
happy
to
help
get
these
buildings
open.
It
sounds
like
he's
taking
buildings
that
are
underutilized
and
and
bringing
business,
and
so
I'm
happy
to
support
that.
But
I
do
I
would
like
us
to
I,
guess
think
further
about
usages
of
this.
Y
To
make
sure
it's
not
going
repeatedly
to
the
same
developer,
and
this
is
a
program
that
is
widely
used
by
other
people,
smaller
buildings
and
such
so
I
just
wanted
to
talk
to
Paul
a
bit
about
that
and
economic
development.
Wanting
to
see
if
we
I
thought
about
looking
at
the
parameters
of
this
blending
line
to
make
sure
we're
utilizing
it
kind
of
across
the
city,
too
many
developers
versus
one
developers
kind
of
seeing
this
as
his
go-to
pot
of
money,
when
he
you
know,
has
a
new
project
in
town,
Thank.
U
Well
and
I
just
I
view
it
is
the
application
is
compliant
with
the
program,
so
we
have
a
program
in
place
and
it's
what
it's
there
for.
So,
if
you
look
at
the
before
and
after
you
might
not
like
the
after,
but
certainly
before,
is
begging
for
something
to
be
done.
So
we
have
somebody
who's
willing
to
invest
a
very,
very
substantial
amount
of
money
and
who
also
again
whether
you
like
the
designer,
don't
like
the
design,
has
a
track
record
of
successful
projects
with
adaptive,
reuse
of
existing
buildings
and
I.
U
Think
that
conforms
with
our
our
goals
as
far
as
sustainability
and
and
just
promoting
successful
development,
so
I
do
intend
to
support
it.
And
hopefully
you
know
if,
if
we
want
to
make
a
change
to
the
policy,
we
should
change
the
policy,
but
I
don't
think
we
should
deny
the
application
because
it
is,
it
does
comply
with,
via
with
the
program.
Thank.
X
I
would
like
to
comment
that
I
believe
and
I
can't
find
it
right
now
that
that
there
is
some
limitation
in
the
storefront
modernization
program
as
to
the
frequency
that
it
can
be
used,
and
so
that
may
already
exist.
If
it
doesn't
exist,
we
should
include
it
but
I'm
fairly,
certain
that
does
exist
as
a
limitation.
AC
Bentley
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
Thank
You,
alderman
Wilson,
Holden
Irwin,
for
your
comments.
It's
a
project,
that's
in
my
ward,
I,
think
it
meets
the
economic
thresholds
again
I'm
not
going
to
comment
on
the
on
his
design
preferences,
but
he
he's
exists
X.
He
is
successful
at
what
he
does
and
I
think
it
would
be
a
perfect
reuse
given
the
area.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
All.
V
Thanks
Ann
I
just
want
to
correct
all
the
win.
I
mean
I'm
I'm,
not
I'm,
trying
very
hard
to
fight
against
being
the
taste
place.
So
I'm
not
I'm,
not
doing
that.
Even
though
I
would
just
no
I'm
not
I,
know
I'm,
not
what
what
no
no.
What
I'm
saying
is
that
I
believe
that
the
money
should
go
for
making
the
building
energy-efficient
new
window
glazing
whatever,
but
not
necessarily
into
changing
the
building
design.
So
I
I
want
to
take
or
interpret
that
as
a
more
practical
approach
and
not
comment,
not
comment
on
the
design.
V
I
said
the
design
was
not
necessarily
to
my
taste,
but
I
was
trying
to
be
very
careful
and
making
sure
that
my
comments
were
not
not
focused
on
the
design,
but
on
the
way
that
the
money
is
being
spent
and
I
see
the
money
spent
on
basically
a
design
that
does
does
not
provide
practical
considerations
for
the
building.
That's
all
I'm
saying
all.
X
Well,
I
think
our
history
of
this
program
is
that
it
isn't
just
simply
utilitarian
I
mean
we.
If
you
look
at
the
buildings
that
we
that
we've
helped
with
facade
improvements,
we
have
the
programs
have
generally
a
great
deal
of
style
and
Verve
to
where
has
been
done,
I
mean
we
aren't
just
simply
installing
basic
windows.
Some
of
these
things
have
awnings
and
unusual
lighting
over
time.
