The
audit
is
accepted
before
we
get
to
ordinance
won,
t
0,
13,
I
notice.
The
agenda
does
not
have
time
for
citizen
comment
and
I
think
since
it's
a
township
meeting,
especially
but
always
in
evanston,
we
have
citizen
comment
and
people
have
signed
up
to
speak
on
the
township.
So
I'm
going
to
call
on
them
now:
Priscilla
Giles,
Angela,
Butler
and
reward
and
Betty
Esther.
L
My
name
is
Priscilla
Giles
and
I
live
in
1829
Ashland
in
Evanston
I'd,
like
for
the
wording
on
the
referendum
to
be
such
that
everyone
can
read
and
understand
it,
so
that
the
same
thing
that
happened
last
time
would
not
happen
again.
That
people
did
not
know
how
they
were
voting.
They
did
not
know
how
important
it
was
that
they
understand
what
they
were.
Voting
for
and
I
think
the
wording
was
such
that
it
confused
people
and
they
did
not
understand
Thank
you
Thank
You,.
A
C
Of
Aldermen
raining,
madam
a
point
of
information,
there
are
very
strict
guidelines
and
I
think
our
council
will
tell
us
regarding
how
wording
can
be
placed
on
a
referendum.
So
we
don't
always.
You
know
we'd
like
to
go
into
a
lot
of
detail
and
blah
blah
blah,
but
you
have
to
abide
by
certain
criteria
and
restrictions.
Thank.
A
E
Good
evening
my
name
is
Angela.
Butler
I
am
actually
speaking
on
behalf
of
Bonnie
Wilson
tonight,
the
township
assessor.
She
sends
her
regrets
that
she
could
not
be
here
this
evening,
but
she
did
get
sick.
She
wanted
to
initially
state
that
the
town
of
the
city
of
Everson
was
saddened
to
hear
the
passing
of
Sharon
Decker
saw.
We
hope
that
the
family
will
find
courage
and
strength
to
bear
this
loss.
We
would
like
to
send
our
deepest
sympathy
and
condolences
to
the
a
croissant.
E
This
is
from
the
township
office
of
assessor
I'm,
sorry,
township
office
of
supervisor,
gasps,
bard
and
Bonnie
Wilson
and
the
tent
and
the
staff
of
the
Evanston
Township.
She
would
also
like
to
add
that
she
was
looking
forward
to
working
with
Sharon
on
the
2014
budget.
Funeral
arrangements
have
been
made
for
Sharon.
There
will
be
awake
at
st.
Mark's
Church
on
Wednesday
evening
from
6
30
29
and
the
funeral
will
be
thursday,
the
26th
at
eleven
o'clock,
also
at
st.
mark's
church.
E
So,
since
our
last
meeting,
the
assessor's
office
processed
2013
of
Sussman
appeals
on
428
residents
for
Everson
taxpayers
to
the
Cook
County
Board
of
Review
2013
appeals
are
now
closed
for
the
Evanston
Township
residents.
Results
from
these
appeals
are
expected
in
October
taxpayers
who
live
in
the
Evanston
zip
code.
6
02
03
actually
reside
in
the
Niles
Township
and
can
file
an
appeal
now
to
the
cook
county
assessor
for
their
2013
reassessment.
Niles
appeals
will
be
accepted
through
October
7.
E
She
would
also
like
it
to
be
noted
that
in
August
the
office
helped
in
19
taxpayers
receive
corrections
to
their
property
tax
bills,
totaling
30
1604
dot,
60
cents.
This
brings
the
total
dollar
amount
returned
to
taxpayers
for
the
first
five
months
of
the
fiscal
year
to
160
thousand
dollars,
344
I'm,
sorry,
160
thousand
three
hundred
and
forty
four
dollars
and
fifty
four
cents
and
corrections
can
still
be
made
going
back
to
2009
for
tax
exemptions.
E
A
M
Hi
I'm
Andy
Wade
network,
but
I
live
in
the
six
board,
but
I'm
actually
also
here
on
behalf
of
metropolitan
Family,
Services
and
I,
think
that
I
might
have
gotten
the
clarification
that
some
of
the
other
mental
health
providers
were
interested
in.
There
was
an
email
going
around
today
with
some
concerns
about
in
the
township
budget
under
community
purchased
services.
M
It
looks
like
for
fy13
it's
it's
a
zero
doubt.
Apparently
that
has
to
do
with
the
the
nine-month
fiscal
year
I
last
the
health
department
to
clarify
that.
But
what
we
just
want
to
confirm
is
it
looks
like
the
agencies
have
been
paid
for
up
to
the
January
one
when
the
new
fiscal
year
starts
and
it
looks
like
I
guess.
The
question
that
we're
asking
is:
will
it
be
that
in
fiscal
year
14
the
mental
health
board
budget?
Will
that
also
be
split
between
the
township
budget
in
the
city
budget?
M
M
N
Madam
mayor
town,
board
of
trustees,
Matt's
phone
kofsky
assistant
to
the
city
manager,
the
fiscal
year
14
budget
for
the
township
is
not
yet
set.
It
will
be
coming
before
you
in
the
at
the
same
juncture
as
the
city
budget,
as
well
as
the
library
budget,
and
so
you
will
see
the
allocations
for
the
program's
outlined
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
It's
still
in
in
draft
form
being
proposed
by
the
township.
O
P
Meta
mayor
members
of
the
more
grant
for
our
town
board
attorney
with
respect
to
the
election
code
and
the
laws
of
the
state
of
Illinois.
It's
quite
clear
that
a
governmental
body
and
its
staff
cannot
have
any
role
that
would
be
described,
as
quote
unquote,
electioneering
that
is
advocating
on
one
side
or
the
other.
With
respect
to
a
public
policy
question
the
the
proposed
question
would
be
submitted,
but
the
issue
of
debates
and
and
things
of
that
nature
that
would
most
likely
fall
afoul
of
the
election
code
and
would
be
disallowed.
P
O
Good
clarification
when
the
waves
referendum
winter,
when
the
last
referendum
came
before
us,
that
referendum
was
talked
about
at
public
meeting,
our
city
manager,
making
it
and
talked
about
it
and
stuff,
and
we
debated
it
in
people
lesson
and
stuff.
So
whether
you
have
someone
in
the
public,
that's
probably
will
be
standing
up
and
saying
we
don't
want
it.
There
will
be
people
that
have
it,
but
you
did
it
in
the
past.
So
if
you're
not
going
to
do
it
now,
that's
fine,
but
I
will
be
out
campaigning
to
save.
O
J
C
A
A
J
Audience
yes,
madam
mayor,
just
as
the
city
of
Evanston
did
two
years
ago,
we
are
looking
to
bring
the
township
into
the
same
alignment
as
the
city,
making
it
a
calendar
year
township
fiscal
year.
This
will
ease
in
reporting
and
scheduling
for
the
city,
/
town
board
and,
most
importantly,
it
will
align
the
annual
levy
process
with
the
budget
which,
right
now
the
the
levy
would
be
adopted
and
then
I'm
sorry,
the
budget
would
be
adopted
and
then
many
months
later
a
levy
is
adopted.
J
A
G
F
A
H
A
Q
At
a
mayor,
alderman
on
behalf
of
the
government,
finance
officers,
association
of
the
US
and
canada,
I
want
to
congratulate
the
city
of
Evanston
for
receiving
the
distinguished
budget
award.
I've
been
a
member
of
that
board
for
years
and
a
budget
reviewer
for
25
years
to
achieve
this
award,
the
city's
budgets
got
to
be
reviewed
by
practitioners
across
the
nation
and
and
and
be
up
to
the
high
standards
that
are
required
for
that
award.
Q
Just
to
give
you
an
idea,
there
are
four
major
analytical
areas
that
that
have
to
be
achieved
with
criteria
under
each
of
those.
The
budget
has
to
be
sufficient
as
a
policy
document
as
an
operations
guide
as
a
financial
plan
and
also
as
a
communications
document.
This
award
is
indeed
hard
to
to
to
get
just
to
give
just
a
quick
couple
of
statistics.
There
are
only
a
hundred
and
ten
governments
in
the
state
of
Illinois
who
get
this
award
and
which
is
by
the
way
there
are
six
thousand
nine
hundred
and
ninety.
Q
That's
one
point:
five
percent,
and
if
we
narrow
that
down
to
municipalities
which
there's
twelve
hundred
and
ninety
nine
municipalities
in
the
state,
only
72
get
that
so
it's
five
point:
five
percent
I
think
many
times
we
take
for
granted
the
quality
and
level
of
government.
That
I
think
pervades
the
city
of
Evanston,
and
this
is
clearly
a
demonstration
of
that.
Q
Finally,
mayor
tisdall
and
alderman
I
think
you
can
take
solace
in
the
fact
that
that
this
award
is
not
just
for
the
sake
of
an
award,
but
it
provides
two
things:
I
think
that
that
the
citizens,
the
man
first
it
provides
transparency.
It
provides
detailed
information
on
all
the
goals,
the
objectives
and
the
budgets.
Details
of
all
the
workings
of
the
government
and
many
governments
don't
want
to
have
all
those
details
out
there,
and
this
is
a
credit
that
the
city
does.
Q
But
the
second
thing
I
think
and
the
thing
that's
most
important
and
we're
all
judged
on
is
accountability.
There's
three
years
of
actuals
in
these
budgets
there
are
fun
balances
and
how
they
change
in
there's
budgets.
There's
the
story,
for
example,
in
this
town
of
the
wonderful
tistic
TIF
districts,
and
what
they've
done
to
benefit
other
government.
So
that's
all
part
of
the
budget
and
your
to
be
really
proud
of
that
and
I've
got
the
award
here
and
by
the
way
this
is
the
first
year.
This
is
the
new
sustainability.
J
Madam
mayor
on
the
subject
that
was
worthy
2013
budget
and
I
would
just
like
to
remind
everyone
of
our
2014
budget
schedule.
We
are
as
of
Wednesday
September
18th.
We
had
our
budget
input
session.
Unfortunately,
we
did
not
have
very
much
attendance
at
the
budget
input
session,
but
we
did
have
another
means
of
reaching
out
and
that
was
going
to
seven
different
locations
throughout
the
community.
J
J
We
had
a
lot
of
discussion
over
facility,
so
people
have
been
paying
attention
to
the
council's
recent
discussions
on
strategic
planning
and
facilities
was
high
on
everyone's
list
to
talk
about
what
the
city
would
do
with
all
of
our
facilities
and
just
a
brief
reminder
that
the
budget
will
come
to
the
council
on
friday
october.
Eleventh
on
october,
26
will
have
a
capital
tour
that
will
be
an
official
council
meeting,
so
that
will
be
open
to
the
public
starting
at
9am
at
the
Civic
Center
and
then
on
November
11th.
J
We
will
have
the
public
hearing,
which
is
for
the
budget
and
also
for
the
truth
in
taxation,
as
I
noted
before
we
do
the
budget
in
the
levy.
At
the
same
time,
so
I
invite
everyone
to
attend.
We
will
have
multiple
council
meetings
and
the
schedule
is
posted
on
the
city's
website.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
L
My
name
is
Priscilla
Giles
and
I
want
to
comment
on
the
relocation
of
the
Emerson
on
the
park
on
Emerson
at
the
foot
of
Ashland
of
the
relocation
and
also
the
reduction
of
the
size.
That
also
reduces
the
green
space
in
that
neighborhood,
and
that
is
on
the
non
agenda.
But
it's
I
think
it's
very
important
to
the
fifth
war
that
we
see
green
and
more.
Unless
concrete
and
glass
brick.
O
You
have
the
item
that
you're
not
understand
will
not
be
voting
on,
but
I
do
want
to
speak
to
it,
and
that
is
the
safe
school
zone
at
the
identity
school
liaison
meeting.
And
what
came
out
of
that
was
that
the
chief
editing,
our
police
chief,
is
supposed
to
do
a
month
survey
to
determine
the
number
of
incidents
and
things
that
will
that
occur
within
that
month.
So
to
give
that
information
to
that
committee,
so
they
can
determine
what
to
do.
O
I
was
surprised
that
neither
the
school,
not
a
committee,
got
that
information
from
the
city
are
from
the
high
school
I
did
obtain
it.
I
did
share
it
with
the
all
all
of
the
Alderman's
and
the
mirror,
and
in
a
file
from
2009
to
2013
the
high
schools
in
the
foyer
that
they
sent
me
that
there
was
50
incident.
O
32
of
them
was
on
the
front
campus
on
the
blocks
where
they're
talking
about
to
extend
the
safe
zone.
That
was
only
13
one
that
happened
at
lake
in
gray
in
2011,
where
the
book
of
mr.
Charlie
Booker
called
the
police
on.
They
had
six
that
happen
at
church
in
Dodge,
which
the
business
they're
called
talk
to
the
police
on.
They
called
the
police.
They
had
the
one
on
1600
dodge
I,
don't
know
what
happened
there
and
they
had
one
at
Davis
streak.
Most
of
these
dealt
wit
gains
in
Frank.
O
The
city
sent
me
a
proposal
where
they
gave
the
entire
campus.
That
meant
the
whole
1,000
feet
from
this
food
to
a
thousand
feet
out
for
the
2nd
Ward
and
the
fifth
Ward,
and
they
came
up
with
they
looked
at
the
assault,
burglary
in
robbery,
and
that
number
was
high
in
two
thousand
two
thousand
nine
to
two
thousand
ten.
It
was
600
in
something,
but
it
encompassed
from
seven
o'clock
in
the
morning
to
ten
at
night,
and
we
was
only
talking
about
the
school
time
frame,
which
is
from
seven
o'clock.
O
24
I
asked
them
to,
and
I
clarified
to
them.
What
I
want,
because
I
thought
it
was
clear
and
they
came
back
to
say
in
that
time
frame
that
five
year
time
frame,
they
only
had
41
incident
they.
She
did
not
give
me
what
street
each
of
the
incident
happened.
She
will
give
me
that
tomorrow
and
I
will
our
back
to
you.
You
need
to
look
at
that
information
and
drop
the
thing
of
trying
to
push
the
zone.
Thank.
O
R
I
was
not
available
to
attend
the
meetings
on
the
Harley
Clark
mansion.
It
is
very
clear
to
me
this
council
needs
to
stop
playing
politics
and
deal
with
reality.
There
are
really
three
options
that
are
really
realistic
for
Harley
Clark.
The
first
option
is
this:
council
needs
to
tell
the
Arts
Center
they
had
to
pay
a
real
market
rate
rent
for
the
facility.
That
would
be
close
to
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
would
cover
the
cost
of
capital
improvements
and
maintenance
in
the
range
of
two
to
three
million
dollars.
R
Since
the
council
can
borrow
that
kind
of
money,
as
we,
the
council
borrows
money
for
all
its
projects
item
two.
If
the
art
center
cannot
does
not
want
to
agree
to
pay
a
market
rent,
the
arc
center
can
agree
to
pay
170
thousand
dollars
to
fix
the
building,
to
bring
it
up
to
life
safety
requirements
as
it
needs
now
to
stay
in
the
building.
That
would
only
allow
them
to
stay
there.
R
A
short
time
city
could
let
them
pay
a
dollar
rent,
but
they
still
have
to
pay
the
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
allow
them
to
stay
a
few
years,
but
phase
them
out
as
a
client
as
the
user
of
the
building
and
the
city
would
take
the
building
over
for
other
uses.
And
finally,
if
the
Art
Center
does
not
agree
to
these
things,
the
council
may
have
to
face
another
decision,
and
that
is
the
building
will
be
shut
down
because
it
is
unsafe.
R
The
art
center
would
be
evicted
thrown
out
of
the
building,
and
this
should
happen
immediately,
not
just
dragged
along
like
the
City
Council
eggs
to
do
because,
in
a
sense,
you
violate
the
laws
here
when
you
not
doing
things.
Basically,
you
say
that
our
life
safety
for
things
and
all
these
requirements
mean
nothing.
So
if
you
don't
shut
them
down
and
they
don't
want
to
agree
to
fix
it-
that
that's
something
you'll
need
to
deal
with.
The
truth
is
not
the
story.
Some
here
have
been
spreading.
R
The
city,
the
city
in
the
art
center
executed
a
contract
that
neither
party
wanted
to
follow
and/or
honor,
and
that
really
is
deception.
Well,
some
here
think
this
is
business
as
usual
and
amounts
to
really
a
misuse
of
our
tax
dollars.
It
appears
council
members
set
up
a
deal
recently
to
exchange
some
land
and
more
city
park,
land
at
Gilbert
park
in
the
black
community
for
a
lesser
piece
of
property
and
spent
250
thousand
dollars
of
taxpayer
money
to
renovate
the
part
more
waste
and
mismanagement.
R
Other
rumors
now
are
circulating
through
this
community,
possibly
that
other
deals
are
foot
being
discussed
in
private
again.
This
is
of
concern
to
many
employees
and
public
officials
who
now
want
to
continue
this,
maybe
we'll
end
up
facing
more
responsibility
than
just
wasting
taxpayer
money.
Far
too
many
citizens
are
now
aware
of
this
deception
that
it's
going
on
here
with
our
city
parks.
Thank
you
thank.
A
S
T
T
Demolished
we
know
that
it's
in
bad
condition,
but
I
just
took
a
walk
around
I
had
been
in
the
construction
business
time
in
my
life,
so
I
know
a
little
bit
about
it.
I
took
a
walk
around
just
to
take
a
quick
look.
Yeah
just
I'll
tell
you
what
I
saw
just
a
quick
look:
east
side
of
the
building
on
the
other
I'll
see
as
a
music
sticker
bacuna
there's
a.
T
There's
a
railing
up
on
the
second
floor.
There's
a
balcony
a
deck
up
there
in
there's
a
heavy,
very
heavy
railing
up
there
and
it's
very
poorly
supported
I
mean
it's
just
it's
been
it's
like
ready
to
fall.
There's
a
lot
of
people
who
walk
by
there
all
the
time
and
I
think
it's
very
dangerous.
In
an
affront
and
the
west
side
of
the
building,
the
main
entrance,
those
are
as
a
crack
and
a
masonry,
a
big
crack
in
a
masonry
about
12
feet
long.
T
It
is
very
dangerous
and
then
the
of
the
fire
escape
on
the
south
side
of
the
building.
There's
a
very
large
fire
escape
asst
assembly,
and
it's
all
completely
rested
so
I,
don't
know
how
strong
that
is.
It
looks,
looks
very
weak,
but
anyway
I'm,
it's
not
just
the
interior
stuff.
I
thought
the
exterior
is
different.
It's
a
terrible
condition,
but
the
main
thing
is,
though
I'm
esos
should
have
a
more
open
park
space.
T
You
know
for
for
more
people,
I
mean
it's
pretty
limited
right
now,
with
with
the
art
people
in
people
like
that,
I
would
rather
I
would
rather
have
the
mansion
take
it
down
and
have
that
nice
green
space
I
mean
it's
not
a
very
big
part
to
start
with,
so
we
have
it.
We
are
more
green
space
that
we
have
a
lot
more
children
and
people
and
children
in
a
picnic
areas,
or
we
only
have
one
picnic
area
there.
Now
we
could
have
more
picnic
areas.
We
could
have
like
an
overlook
balcony
like
some.
T
They
were.
It
is
about
a
little
bit
of
an
elevation
here,
so
it's
a
very
good
view
of
the
lake,
so
you
know
that
the
additional
park
place
would
be
nice
instead
of
having
a
few
hundred
people
enjoy
them
the
old
building
there.
We
can
have
thousands
of
people
in
the
park
and
picnicking
and
having
a
lot
of
fun
there,
and
it
may
be
a
good
idea
to
have
maybe
a
smaller
little
addition
to
the
parking,
maybe
another
30
or
40
cars
would
help
a
little
bit,
but
we
could
have
that
too.
T
If
we
wanted
to,
but
the
main
thing
is
having
you
know
more
rum
and
and
I'm
concerned
that
maybe
some
people,
if
they
may
have
I
hate,
to
say
this,
but
some
people
just
may
have
a
the
idea
to
keep
it.
It's
spend
the
money,
no
matter
what
it
takes
a
millions
of
dollars
to
try
to
fix
that
junky
place.
Maybe
they
have
an
idea
too
to
keep.
Maybe
a
status
quo,
maybe
keep
the
mansion
there.
T
B
B
B
We
had
several
very,
very
informative
speakers
and
opened
up
the
discussion
for
potential
future
uses
of
the
mansion
for
the
Harley
Clark
mansion
on.
We
came
to
no
resolution
at
that
meeting
and
because
we
ended
up,
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
time
and
I
would
like
to
invite
all
of
you
to
our
second
community
meeting,
which
will
be
held
october.
Twenty

the
council

We
recommend

C
C
98,
o
13
is
for
action
and
I'm
going
to
take
this
off,
because
I
have
some
questions
that
I
don't
think
we're
answered
in
our
packet
unless
I
miss
them.
Human,
Services,
Human,
Services
Committee,
recommends
approval
of
a
substantial
amendment
to
the
2013
action
plan.
The
city
of
evanston's,
2013,
ESG,
grant
of
115,000
781
dollars
is
approximately
twenty-four
percent
less
than
the
estimated
grant
used
in
the
action
plan.
Therefore,
a
substantial
amendment
to
the
plan
is
required
must
be
approved
by
the
council
before
sub
sub
recipient
agreements
may
be
executed.
C
These
agreements
have
to
be
executed
by
August
October
14.
This
is
for
action
and
is
really
urgent.
Resolution.

will
be
addressed

of
Human

Committee
h3
is
approval
of
the
downtown
Performing

Human
Services,
Committee
and
staff
recommend
that
the
city

requests
the
mayor,
appoint
a
nine-member
task
force
to
review
recent
reports
conducted
on
a
proposed
Performing
Arts
Center
in
downtown
Evanston.
C
The
task
force
will
make
recommendations
to
the
council
on
steps
to
identify
a
suitable
art
center
location,
as
well
as
steps
associated
with
construction
and
operation
for
such
a
Performing

ordinance,

amends

This
is
for
introduction
to
add
restrictions
for
use
of
electronic

and
liquid
nicotine
ordinance
1050
13
is
for
introduction.
It
is
for
a
binding
referendum
for
dissolution
of
evanston
township
with
that
there
are
no
recommendations
for
appointments
by
the
mayor.
I
move
the
consent
agenda,
man
Americans
thank.
C
A
K
That
there
were
number
of
reservations
about
the
about
the
side,
parking
lot
parking
which
I
understand
and
in
some
conversations
with
the
applicant
and
looking
at
it
further
I
share
some
of
those
reservations,
but
I
do
think
that
there
might
be
an
opportunity
for
them
to
do
an
actual
garage
which
would
probably
or
possibly
work
better,
so
I
think
it's.
Maybe
it's
unfortunate
that
he's
been
this
far
down
the
path
for
this
and
I'm.
C
Men,
a
mirror
on
the
corner
of
dobson
and
dodge
the
north
east
corner
I
fought
the
establishment
of
a
space
for
a
garage
behind
the
first
door
of
the
townhouse
at
that
spot
that
when,
when
that
happened,
I
would
have
been
very
happy
to
approve
a
parking
pad
when
that
garage
went
up.
It
just
made
such
a
bulk
and
such
ugliness,
even
though
the
garage
was
beautifully
done,
it's
it
at
first
thought.
C
That
sounds
like
a
great
idea,
but
believe
me,
it
just
adds
so
much
chaos
and
clutter
to
a
space,
so
I
I
would
urge
you
not
to
vote
in
favor
of
this
denial
so
that
a
garage
can
be
built
if
you
go
by
there
but
it.
But
in
this
case
it
did.
Is
it
well,
it
put
the
garage
in
this
property's
side
yard
it
put
it
in
the
front
yard
of
the
building
next
door.
C
I
K
K
It
is
it's
a
difficult
corner.
There's
no
two
ways
about
it:
cars
coming
around
the
corner:
you
know
if
in
a
perfect
world
I
would
you
know,
have
a
lot
less
parking
there,
but
there's
not
enough
parking
as
it
is.
So
if
people
don't
feel
strong
me
about
it,
I
can
live
with
the
application,
as
it
is
right
now,
it's
not
ideal.
It's
not
what
I
think
is
a
good
idea.
I,
don't
think
we
have
any
objections
from
the
neighbors,
so
I
can
live
with
it.
K
I
K
I
K
K
I
U
So
I
think
that
this
is
a
bad
precedent
to
set,
unfortunately
and
I
think
that,
like
everyone,
many
other
people
in
that
neighborhood,
you
have
to
make
do
with
the
street
parking.
That's
there
I
think
some
people
probably
look
for
private
parking.
There
are
a
number
of
garage
on
the
alleys
there
that
someone
you
could
avail
yourself
of
that
possibly,
but
I
can't
support
a
parking
spot
at
that
location.
G
A
Staff
and
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals
affirms
its
recommendation
to
deny
the
requested
zoning
relief
all
right.
So
it's
a
vote
on
ordinance.
Ninety

13
granting
major
zoning
relief
to
establish
open
parking
in
the
street
side
yard
at
1202,
Sherman
Avenue
and
it's
a
recommendation
to
deny
city
clerk.
Would
you
call
the
roll.
U
98
00
13
granting
special
use
for
resale
establishment.
The
CBA
and
city
staff
recommend
the
adoption
of
ordinance
90
80
13,
granting
a
special
use
permit
for
their
operation
of
a
retail
establishment
me
new
chic
boutique
at
1900
asbury
avenue.
This
ordinance
was
introduced
on
sep
tember.
Ninth,
it's
for
action
tonight.
I
move
approval.
L
V

C
C
I
A
I
What
was
moved
to
tonight,
as
I
think,
is
a
date
certain
to
bring
information
back.
However,
there
was
a
meeting
of
the
City
School
Liaison
Committee.
In
the
meantime,
their
information,
their
next
meeting,
will
be
on
october
10th
and
at
the
last
meeting
the
I
think,
all
you
have
in
front
of
you
a
note
about
the
just
an
episode
from
those
minutes
and
where
our
chief
will
be
pulling
the
data
and
everything
that
was
requested
at
that
meeting.
A

D
A
D
Couple
things
mean
living
festival.
Is
this
saturday
at
the
ecology
center?
It
promises
to
be
quite
a
great
event:
October
fifth
brace
yourselves
Ohio
State
brings
their
football
team
and
their
fans
to
evanston
for
what
is
already
a
sold-out
game
at
capacity
for
47,000
fans
in
the
state
and
not
to
mention
those
who
will
not
be
ticketed
to
get
in
the
stadium.
All
hotel
rooms
within
Evanston's,
close
orbit
are
already
sold
out
for
this
game.
The
seven
o'clock
kickoff.
We
will
be
obviously
deploying
lots
of
evanston
and
northwestern
police
from
a
unified
command
center.
D
In
deference
to
mr.
McCray
I
will
not
let
me
just
leave
it
at
that
in
October,
eighth,
alderman
homes
and
I
will
be
at
the
ecology
center
again
to
discuss
the
lad.
Arboretum
master
plan
with
residents
living
close
by
and
that
will
will
discuss
renovations
and
improvements
to
the
lad.
Arboretum
and
I
have
a
reference
to
make.
I
got
a
call
a
couple
weeks
ago
from
Northwestern
athletics
asking
if
there
were
way
that
would
be
okay
for
the
Chicago
Sky
women,
professional
basketball
team
to
play
a
possible
playoff
game
here
would
have
been
actually
tonight.
D
The
watch
the
chicago
sky
did
not
make
it
to
this
round
of
playoffs
they
lost
last
week,
and
this
would
have
been
a
tiebreaker
game.
Third
game
of
a
three-game
series
and
mr.
Ferrara
mr.
Bob,
quits
and
I
had
to
figure
out
a
way
to
make
it
okay
for
the
Chicago
Sky
to
play
Welsh
Ryan
arena,
which
would
have
been
the
host
arena.
But
there
was
no
way
to
do
that.
Despite
the
fact
that
Evanston
Township
High
School
is
able
to
host
professional
women's
tackle
football
at
laser
field
there.
D
So
I'd
like
to
make
a
referral
to
zoning
committee
of
the
plan
commission
to
consider
an
amendment
to
our
zoning
ordinance
to
allow
some
kind
of
one-off
events,
the
smaller
scale,
events
for
professional
athletics
on
university
property
that
would
be
of
a
reasonable
scale,
chicago
sky.
They
didn't
expect
more
than
5,000
fans
at
this
event,
because
it's
women's
athletics,
obviously
I,
don't
know
how
many
fans
they
get
for
the
women's
tackle
football
games.
But
there's
got
to
be
a
way
for
us
to
make
it
okay
for
the
university
to
host
these
events.
D
If
they're
not
huge
high
impact
I'm,
not
looking
for
us
to
host
professional
I,
don't
know
football
but
a
whole
series
or
a
whole
season.
But
I
think
this
would
be
the
kind
of
event
that
would
not
have
a
huge
impact
on
the
neighborhood
or
on
Evanston
all
together,
but
would
bring
some
really
good
fans
to
evanston
to
spend
their
money
here
and
use
otherwise
idle
athletic
facilities.
So
keep
that
in
mind
when
you
see
it
pop
back
up
Thanks.
