B
A
All
right
welcome
welcome
everybody
to
the
Monday
June
10th
2019
Evanston
City
Council
meeting.
We
have
lots
of
important
items
on
the
agenda
today.
We've
got
a
great
turnout
here
at
City
Council.
A
couple
announcements
right
up
front
first,
is
we
are
in
the
month
of
LGBTQ
Pride
this
month
and
we
issued
a
proclamation
for
and
I
just
want
to
give
people
some
context
here.
A
It
was
50
years
ago
in
June
1969
that
patrons
and
supporters
of
the
Stonewall
Inn
in
New
York
City
staged
an
uprising
to
resist
harassment
and
discriminatory
laws
and
practices
against
the
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual,
transgender
and
queer
community.
The
riots
and
protests
marked
the
beginning
of
the
modern
LGBTQ
movement.
The
city
of
Evanston,
as
everyone
knows,
is
dedicated
to
fostering
acceptance
of
all
its
residents
and
preventing
discrimination
and
bullying
based
on
sexual
orientation
and
gender
identity.
A
The
city
of
Evanston
is
strengthened
by
the
rich
diversity
of
ethnic,
cultural,
racial,
gender
and
sexual
identities
of
its
residents,
all
of
which
contribute
to
the
vibrancy
of
our
community
nationwide.
Four
out
of
ten
LGBTQ
youth
say
the
community
in
which
they
live
is
not
accepting
of
LGBTQ
people
and
LGBTQ.
Youth
are
two
times
more
likely
than
their
peers
to
be
physically
assaulted.
It
is
imperative
that
the
young
people
of
the
city
of
Evanston,
regardless
of
the
sexual
orientation
or
gender,
identify,
feel
valued,
safe,
empowered
and
supported
by
their
peers,
educators
and
community
leaders.
A
Therefore,
I
Stephen
Howard
Haggerty
mayor
the
city
of
Evanston
Illinois,
do
hereby
proclaim
this
month:
LGBTQ
Pride
Month
in
the
city
of
Evanston,
and
encouraged
all
people
to
recognize
the
enduring
efforts
and
ongoing
contributions
of
the
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual,
transgender
and
queer
communities
within
our
city.
We
are
blessed
to
live
in
a
truly
diverse
city.
We
all
talk.
We
all
talk
about
that,
and
that
includes
diversity
of
gender
and
sexual
orientation.
A
I
also
want
to
just
make
note
of
for
passings
recently
of
folks
that
have
done
a
lot
for
this
community
and
we
talk
about
everybody.
You
know
wanting
to
work
hard
to
transmit
the
city
better
and
more
beautiful
and
greater
than
it
was
transmitted
to
us
and
I.
Think
these
four
folks
have
all
done
that
the
first
person
I
just
like
to
acknowledge,
who
passed
away
last
week,
was
Leon
Robinson
and
mr.
mr.
A
Robinson
was
a
business
leader
in
this
community,
a
leader
in
the
african-american
community,
here
in
Evanston,
and
really
a
remarkable
person
who
had
a
truly
remarkable
life
and
for
those
that
knew
mr.
Robinson
I
do
want
to
just
make
it
clear
because
I
just
talked
to
his
daughter,
Lynn.
The
services
will
be
at
Ebenezer,
African,
Methodist
Episcopal
Church
at
11:09,
Emerson
Street.
The
wake
will
be
on
621,
that's
a
Friday
from
6
to
8
p.m.
and
then
the
viewing
will
start
at
11:30
on
Saturday,
June
22nd,
and
then
the
services
will
be
at
12
p.m.
A
on
Saturday,
the
22nd.
So
our
thoughts
and
prayers
are
with
Leon
Robinson's
entire
family,
including
his
daughter
Lynn.
We
also
have
the
passing
of
Steve
Mullins
and
Evanston
is
a
place
where
we
have
a
lot
of
unique
museums
and
one
of
those-
and
this
is
an
alderman
wins
Ward-
is
the
Toby
jugg,
Museum
and
I.
Don't
know
if
anybody
has
been
to
the
Toby
jugg
museum,
but
it
is
a
pretty
remarkable
place
where
there
are
jugs
dating
back
to
like
1862
present-day
there's,
even
a
jug,
that
they
put
together
a
Steve
Mullen.
A
So
there
was
a
service
for
him
this
week.
He
was
a
real
estate
developer
here
in
town,
but
really
did
a
lot.
We
also
had
the
the
passing
of
I
think
you'd
have
to
correct
me:
alderman
Rainey
of
the
alderwoman,
who
was
the
older
woman
before
you
of
Betty
pop
and
jealous,
who
passed
away
at
94
years
and
did
a
lot
for
this
city
not
only
serving
on
the
Evanston
City
Council,
but
being
one
of
the
founders
of
the
Evanston
Community
Foundation,
which
does
great
work
here
in
the
community.
A
And
lastly,
northwestern
is
in
sorrow
with
the
passing
of
Patricia.
Tell
us
Ervin,
who
was
their
vice
president
of
student
affairs,
who
impacted
a
lot
a
lot
of
young
people
on
that
northwestern
campus.
So
all
of
these
people,
like
all
the
folks
in
this
room
and
on
TV,
have
done
a
lot
to
transmit
this
place
a
better
place
because
of
their
because
of
their
service
to
all
of
us.
So
please
keep
them
in
your
thoughts
and
prayers
city
manager.
Do
we
have
any
announcements?
Mr.
C
Mayor
members
of
council
good
evening,
I
have
two
introductions.
First,
the
council
will
remember
last
year
of
the
city
of
Evanston
participated
in
a
program
sponsored
by
the
International
City
County,
Management
Association
and
the
Department
of
the
army.
We
had
a
deputy
garrison
commander
from
Bavaria
Germany
join
us
for
a
week.
We
are
pleased
once
again
to
have
been
selected
by
ICMA
in
the
Department
of
the
army
but
participating
in
the
program,
and
we
have
with
us
for
this
week:
John
Thompson
John.
C
C
So
what
that
means
is
the
smart
city
movement
that
we're
having
in
communities
around
America
Jon's
responsibility
is
to
bring
that
and
the
Internet
of
Things
the
again
cities
are
looking
at
two
army
posts
around
the
world,
so
he
is
going
to
be
spending
the
week
with
us
learning
about
the
work
that
we're
doing
he'll
be
spending
some
time
in
the
city
of
Chicago.
We
were
also
having
the
first
of
our
training
from
the
Bloomberg
philanthropies
this
week
for
the
what's
work
city
data
program
still
participating
in
that
so
John
welcome
to
have
the
snow.
C
We're
very
pleased
to
have
you
next
I'd
like
to
introduce
our
new
ICM,
a
local
government
management.
Fellow
Shaniqua.
Could
you
come
up
please
program,
we're
gonna,
make
you
say
a
few
words
so
we'll
give
you
come
over
to
the
podium
Shaniqua
there's
a
whole
cactus
act
pretty
close
last
night,
your
last
name
Oh
in
character,
:
Kirk
Shaniqua
is
a
recent
grad
MP,
a
graduate
of
the
Auburn
University
campus
at
Montgomery
and
has
become
a
Annette
ICM,
a
fellow
for
2019,
in
addition
to
receiving
her
master's
degree
from
Auburn
University
of
Montgomery.
C
She
has
a
bachelor's
degree
from
Alabama
State
University
graduating
madam
laude,
in
English,
with
a
minor
in
legal
studies.
She
was
active
on
campus
in
a
variety
of
of
different
issues
when
she
was
an
undergraduate,
but
while
she
was
at
Auburn
University
at
Montgomery,
she
was
the
chapter
president
of
the
ICMA
student
chapter
and
interned
for
the
city
of
Mountain
Brook
Alabama,
for
an
old
colleague
of
mine,
Sam
Gaston,
who
is
the
city
manager
there?
So
Shaniqua
will
be
with
us.
As
the
council
knows,
we
have
had
management
fellows
for
eight
or
nine
years.
C
D
A
A
Mary
you're
not
on
it
already.
Okay,
all
right!
Well,
I'll
put
you
on
the
bottom.
Okay,
so
we've
got.
We've
got
a
total
of
38
people
that
have
signed
up
for
public
comment.
So
the
way
the
public
comment
rules
work
here
at
the
Evanston
City
Council's.
We
set
aside
45
minutes
for
public
comment,
and
then
we
take
the
total
number
of
people
that
would
like
to
speak.
We
divide
it
by
45
minutes
and
that
pretty
much
comes
out
to
the
time
that
we're
going
to
allocate
to
each
person.
A
Obviously
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
would
like
to
speak
on
issues
tonight,
so
I
am
going
to
ask
everyone
to
be
respectful
of
the
time
allotment
and
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
a
lot
a
minute
15.
So
one
minute
and
15
seconds
for
each
person,
I'm
gonna
ask
clerk
Reed,
who
usually
keeps
track
of
the
time
of
each
speaker
and
he'll
have
a
little
ringer
there.
A
If
it
goes
off,
if
you
could
just
wrap
up
really
quickly
after
that,
it
would
be
appreciated
than
that
the
city
manager,
if
he'll,
just
keep
track
of
the
entire
allotment
of
45
minutes.
The
way
the
rules
are
written
after
45
minutes
of
the
lapse,
we
would
then
move
into
the
City
Council
meeting.
I
do
have
to
say:
we've
done
a
pretty
good
job
in
the
past
of
getting
all
these
comments
done.
If
everybody
just
respects
the
time
of
a
minute
fifteen
seconds
tonight
we'll
be
able
to
do
that.
All
right.
A
A
E
Good
evening
Harris
Miller,
fourth
ward
city
residents,
demand
accountability
with
foil.
We
have
the
right
to
full
and
complete
information
on
city
government.
The
police
and
water
department
should
not
control
FOIA.
The
Memorial
Day
proposal
did
not
allow
enough
time
for
constituents
and
council
to
review
and
discuss
the
issue.
There
was
no
majority
vote.
It
went
against
best
governing
practices.
Police
motion
to
reinstate
clerk
read
as
chief
FOIA
officer.
Please
suppose,
resolution
58
are
19.
It's
an
attempt
to
ignore
counsel's
actions
to
clerk
read
two
weeks
ago
and
of
instance,
racist
history.
E
Finally,
police
oppose
resolution
59
our
19.
It
will
increase
chances
to
destroy
a
charming
historic
residential
district
and
canonized
Chicago
Avenue.
It
will
be
another
way
to
pay
for
the
robert
crown
boondoggle
and
$325,000
for
public
art.
That's
not
Evanston
made
actions
speak
louder.
In
the
words.
Thank
you
thank.
A
F
Amy
Kirsten
from
the
law
firm
raised
person
on
behalf
of
the
Women's
Club
of
Evanston,
the
development
mattered
a8
has
been
thoroughly
considered
by
the
city
already,
and
an
extension
of
the
purchase
and
sale
agreement
is
not
warranted.
The
developers
proposed
building
plans
and
approval
were
rejected
by
dapper
plan
commission
and
after
multiple
meetings
by
this
council
once
before,
and
rather
than
listen
to
the
community,
the
developer
sought
motions
to
reconsider
changes
to
the
zoning
code
and
now
a
free,
an
absolutely
free
extension
of
time.
F
For
this
Agreement,
we
urge
the
City
Council
to
reject
the
proposed
extension
to
reject
this
development
team
and
to
start
over
instead
of
continuing
to
accommodate
this
developer.
The
city
should
undertake
a
thoughtful
analysis
of
what's
right
for
the
library
parking
lot
and
for
the
very
special
block
where
it
is
located.
Thank
you
thank.
G
My
name
is
March
Jambo
and
I'm,
a
proud
resident
of
Ward
3
I'm,
a
board
member
of
the
Women's
Club
of
Evanston,
the
house
being
my
main
focus
this
year.
Tonight
is
actually
our
first
board
meeting,
but
I
am
here
representing
The,
Woman's
Club
and
its
board
to
once
again
state
our
continued
opposition
to
the
project
of
17
14
20.
We
feel
it
is
the
wrong
project
for
this
space.
G
H
Evening,
everyone
Alex
Morgan
resident
of
the
9th
Ward
up
here
this
evening
to
speak
in
support
of
SP
2
the
commitment
and
structural
racism
and
achieve
racial
equity
I'm
up
here,
really
to
say
that
I
think
this
is
a
no-brainer
and
I
didn't
poll
council
in
advance.
So
I
don't
know
where
everyone's
head
is
on
this,
so
just
hope
that
you'll
read
this
aloud
this
evening
for
the
record.
I
hope
that
it'll
be
an
I,
know,
boat
and
I
think
it
really
encourages
us
to
look
inward
and
say
not
just
that.
H
We've
got
a
commission
and
an
individual
to
tackle
these
issues
in
our
city,
but
to
think
about
what
is
every
lever
that
we've
got
in
the
city
of
Evanston?
How
does
it
impact
all
residents,
and
especially
those
in
marginalized
communities
right
here
in
our
hometown?
So
thank
you
very
much
hope
you
will
support.
Thank.
A
I
Berry
Ninth
Ward
I
urge
this
council
to
adopt
resolution,
58
r19,
a
commitment
to
end
structural
racism
and
achieve
racial
equity,
and
please
do
it
unanimously
it's
time
for
evidence
intent
to
do
this
to
say
we're
going
to
commit
ourselves
to
anti
racism
in
every
healthy
community.
A
set
of
rules
is
adopted
and
posted
in
some
way,
and
that
empowers
everybody
to
point
it
out.
When
a
rule
is
broken.
Look
there
are
the
rules.
We
all
agree
to
abide
by.
I
I
When
we
talk
about
structural
racism,
it's
common
to
use
words
like
injustice
and
discrimination,
but
the
bottom
line
is
structural.
Racism
hurts
people
because
someone
thinks
they
need
to
be
hurt.
I
want
to
live
in
a
city
that
does
not
hurt
people
by
design.
I
want
to
live
in
a
city
that
hurts
nobody
by
design
and
that
helps
whoever
needs
help
by
design.
Thank
you
thank.
J
Session
9th
ward
first
I
want
to
commend
my
Alderman
Cecily
Fleming
for
bringing
this
resolution
to
the
council.
We
certainly
support
it.
I
think
it's
timely
in
the
preamble
of
the
resolution.
It
says
that
the
approval
of
the
proposal
in
itself
will
not
change
anything
substantive,
but
it
does
indicate
a
commitment
on
the
part
of
the
council,
assuming
that
the
council
will
endorse
it
tonight,
to
use
all
its
powers
to
counter
the
impact
of
structural
racism
in
our
community
and
to
make
the
term
racial
equity
more
than
just
a
slogan.
J
I
think
the
two
specific
steps
that
the
council,
if,
if
it
approves
the
resolution,
commits
itself
to
one
to
go
through
racial
equity
training
and
to
join
gare,
an
organ,
a
tional
organization
that
helps
communities
figure
out
how
to
use
the
racial
equity
lens
and
perspective
to
change
their
practices.
I
think
those
are
good
first
steps
but
they're.
Only
first
steps
and
I
would
like
to
think
that
everybody
on
the
council
will
endorse
us.
J
Not
too
long
ago,
some
of
you
may
have
heard
there
was
a
Nena
cave-ins,
D
Robinson
had
a
number
of
sessions
on
white
fragility
and
I
looked
around
to
see.
If
there
were
members
of
the
council
there,
maybe
there
were
some,
but
they
weren't
all
there,
and
that
would
have
indicated
to
me
that
there
was
a
commitment
on
the
part
of
the
council,
so
I
hope
you
will
approve
this
tonight.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
K
Good
evening
Sarah
shall
stock
and
to
comment
on
item
a8,
short
and
simple.
There
is
no
valid
basis
to
grant
the
developers
request
for
additional
time,
and
this
appeal
for
a
third
six-month
extension
to
the
contract
for
the
city,
sale
of
the
library
parking
lot
should
be
denied.
The
project
has
been
before
the
council
since
July
of
2016.
K
In
all
that
time,
including
two
prior
six-month
extensions,
there
have
been
virtually
no
adjustments
to
the
plans
that
would
even
seek
to
meet
the
challenges
of
the
adjacent
historic
properties,
nor
have
they
addressed
other
glaring
deficiencies
identified
by
dapper
and
the
plan
Commission
and
the
council
already
turned
this
project
down
in
March.
Why,
then,
grant
still
more
time
for
a
building
that
fails
in
so
many
ways
to
meet
the
terms
of
the
original
RFP?
K
We
in
Evanston
can
do
better
than
this,
and
we
are
in
other
places,
alderman
Ruth
Simmons
set
into
motion
more
productive
interactions
among
developers
dapper
in
the
community
of
neighbors,
on
Emerson
Street
Northlight
dropped
plans
for
a
Sherman
Avenue
tower
and
now
proposes
a
different
building
on
Church
Street.
The
developers
of
601
Davis
are
proposing
a
new
office
building
design.
In
light
of
all
this
I
think
it's
logical
to
deny
the
request
for
more
time
if
you
would
accept
a
development
so
different
from
and
falling
so
short
as
this
one
does
drop.

I'm
gonna
bring
it
home
here:

also
I'm,
representing
the
WCTU

of

I
also
urge
you
to
please
all
this
in
both

they've
had
two
extensions.
They've
done
nothing
I've
gone
to
dapper
I've
gone
to

I've,
gone
to
council
meetings
and
there's
been
about
no

after
no
vote.
So
please
do
not
allow
another
extension
for

to
go
on

nothing
be
done.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
M
Sixth
Ward
Alderman
Braithwaite,
please
make
a
motion
to
reconsider
the
FOIA
officer
vote
from
the
last
council
meeting
subject
was
the
subject
of
additional
FOIA
officers
was
not
properly
noticed
to
the
public.
There
was
no
supporting
evidence
to
justify
the
change
of
the
FOIA
officers
and
the
procedures
for
placing
the
special
order.
Business
on
the
agenda
was
not
followed.
All
of
this,
in
addition
to
the
obvious
intent
that
the
FOIA
officer
changed,
was
purely
political
and
vindictive
aldeman.
M
Please
bring
a
vote
back
for
a
motion
to
reconsider
rescind
and
expunged
the
previous
vote
because
of
möchte
procedures
that
took
place
if
the
subject
needs
to
be
heard
at
a
later
date
follow
the
proper
procedures
I'm
also
speaking
tonight
against
the
resolution.
59
are
19,
I
think
for
the
third
or
fourth
time.
Let's
vote
that
one
down
completely
tonight.
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
Am
Sarah
vanderwick
and
I'm
in
the
First,
Ward
and
I'm,
a
member
of
but
I'm,
not
representing
here.
The
Unitarian
Church
of
Evanston
at
the
church
I've
been
part
of
a
team
people
who
have
been
working
for
several
years
now
helping
deepen
our
members
on
understanding
and
competence
around
issues
of
racial
equity
and
justice.
This
is
extended
to
working
in
the
broader
community
as
well,
and
we've
had
a
number
of
programs
and
workshops
that
have
included
people
from
all
over
the
city.
N
Among
the
most
powerful
and
ultimately,
useful
things
we've
been
doing
is
attempting
to
identify
how
racism
plays
itself
out
in
the
institutions
and
practices.
That's
simply
seem
normal
and
everyday
part
of
the
air
we
breathe
so
to
speak,
and
one
of
the
ways
of
doing
that
is
to
apply
a
racial
equity
lens
to
the
decision
making
practices
that
our
church,
our
committees,
possibly
our
families
and
the
council,
can
engage
in.
Do
some
of
the
options
weigh
more
heavily
than
others
toward
our
way.
N
Racial
justice
to
some
practices
replicate
assumptions
rooted
in
a
system
of
white
supremacy.
Without
our
awareness,
for
example,
do
we
view
criticism
of
those
in
power
as
rude
or
threatening?
Do
we
see
accountability
as
vertical
or
horizontal
sevenson
residents
should
grapple
with
as
well
like
what
school
they
sent
their
kids
to
and
does
our
appreciation
and
love
for
Evanston's,
low
density
and
large
lot
size
undermine
our
ability
to
ensure
equal
opportunity
for
housing
for
our
neighbors.
N
But
this
is
exhausting
and
confusing
work.
People
of
goodwill
are
on
all
sides
and
have
legitimate
competing
priorities.
The
network
is
never
going
to
be
complete
and
it'll
never
be
perfect,
but
it's
absolutely
necessary
because
what's
the
alternative,
so
you
should
pass
this
resolution
and
you
absolutely
should
also
understand
and
accept
that
is
going
to
require
humility
on
your
part
and
openness
to
being
challenged
and
changed
both
personally
and
as
a
representative
of
your
constituents.
I
think
this
is
true
of
all
of
you,
not
just
councilmembers,
who
wear
the
protective
cloak
of
white
privilege.
Thank.
O
Mr.
Wittenberg
I'm
responding
to
counsels
comments
from
last
week
and
other
recent
comments.
Alderman
bright
with
you
asked
us
if
those
of
us
who
thought
we
were
feeling
unheard,
gave
us
the
right
to
threaten
members
of
council
for
the
record.
We
do
not.
There
also
doesn't
appear
to
be
record
of
that
happening.
So
for
the
many
of
us
who
are
now
blanketly
implicated
for
what
in
the
state
of
Illinois,
constitutes
a
felony
I
hope
that
you
can
share
your
substantiation
for
that
statement.
O
What
we
think
is
that
when
our
city
acts
unlawfully
or
otherwise
against
Public
Interest,
we
have
the
right
and
the
duty
to
hold
you
accountable
to
be
clear.
The
threat
limiting
public
participation
that
is
on
record
and
reinforced
week
after
week
is
that,
if
you
speak
out
against
certain
council
members,
they
will
use
their
power
to
disparage
and
defame
you
alderman
Wilson,
you
recently
discredited.
Clara
crown
cos
our
concerns
as
simply
wanting
to
create
chaos
and
adversity
for
council.
O
Couched
as
your
perception,
our
perception
was
that
you
are
attempting
to
detract
from
what
is
in
fact
the
reality
that
you
have
used
your
position
to
push
and
vote
on
a
project
and
funding
in
which
your
family
will
personally
and
privately
benefit
above
that
of
the
general
public.
I
can
provide
substantiation
for
all
of
that
in
the
next
meeting
packet
or,
if
you
like
it
right
now,
I
can
do
it.
Alderman
Fitz,
you've
continually
minimized
public
concern
by
saying
it's
limited
to
a
small
number
of
people.
I'm
wondering
your
basis
for
this.
O
It
directly
contradicts
what
we've
seen
in
petitions
public
comments.
If
you
wanted
to
gauge
public
sentiment,
you
would
have
held
a
referendum.
You
would
be
broadening
participation
channels,
you've
done
the
opposite.
This
marginalizing
this
uttering
of
residents
it's
the
political
tool
as
old
as
politics
itself,
to
drive
division
and
exclusion
and
to
silence.
O
Last
week
we
were
somehow
lumped
in
with
active
shooters
which,
if
we're
going
to
draw
a
comparison,
those
tragedies
continue
because
lawmakers,
like
you
at
the
national
level,
consistently
refuse
to
be
accountable
or
even
acknowledge
facts
and
data
not
advantageous
to
their
positions.
No
matter
how
it
harms
constituents
alderman
Winn,
you
keep
blaming
these
issues
on
civility
civility,
does
not
work
when
you
are
simultaneously
subverting
the
civil
processes.
The
public
has
to
hold
you
accountable
for
yeah
Oh
ethics.
O
P
Good
evening,
I
am
here
to
speak
about
a
resolution,
58
r19
and
which
the
city
will
be
committing
to
end
structural
racism
and
achieve
racial
equity
and
Everson.
It's
a
nice
gesture,
I
personally,
don't
believe
it
will
have
a
positive
impact
on
blacks
and
Evanson.
If
there's
no
accident,
it's
just
words
and
a
photo-op.
It
feels
like
this
is
being
used
to
cloak
and
distract
us
in
the
real
discriminatory
practices
and
actions
of
the
city,
such
as
institutional
racism
and
lack
of
transparency.
How
can
the
council
expect
us
to
overlook
the
systemic
oppression
of
clerk?
P
Read
this
council
has
said,
silently
as
numerous
council
members,
the
city
manager
and
the
mayor
has
publicly
berated
clerk
read
and
most
recently
mayor,
Haggerty
treated
Devon
like
his
boy.
This
council
has
consistently
shown
us
said
they
think
they
can
smooth
everything
over
and
make
it
okay,
it's
like
putting
a
bandaid
on
a
gunshot
victim.
Thank
you.
Thank.
Q
Dr.
Brown,
the
principal
at
dr.,
Martin,
Luther,
King,
jr.,
literacy
in
fine
art,
school
sent
parents,
a
transparent,
impactful
and
panicking
email
I
will
never
forget,
entitled
no
longer
separate
still
unequal.
Regarding
our
schools
latest
math
assessment
scores
to
quote
the
email
in
for
grades,
0%
of
black
students
met
college
readiness
benchmarks.
The
disparity
between
black
and
white
students
is
at
least
50%.
Q
My
search
for
deeper
understanding
of
how
black
students
scored
0%
led
me
to
believe
that
black
students
are
somehow
not
being
welcomed
into
their
school
implicit
biases
within
our
school
seeped
into
our
classrooms.
While
our
black
children
have
been
unjustifiably
denied
respect
and
dignity
year
after
year,
I
must
express
my
thankfulness
for
dr.
Brown
and
his
transparency
regarding
the
fundamental
dysfunction.
Q
Parents
and
staff
of
our
school
can
now
take
imperative
steps
within
our
community
to
move
forward
towards
vital
equity
modifications.
Resolution
58.
Our
19
acknowledges
the
cycle
of
trauma
inflicted
historically
upon
people
of
color
as
a
result
of
white
supremacist
ideologies
and
section
1
speaks
of
an
apology
for
Evanston's
past
racial
policies.
Please
be
aware
that
one
aspect
of
abusive
relationships
is
a
tendency
to
apologize,
but
continue
the
same
abuse
moving
forward.
We
cannot
let
this
happen
here.
Q
A
R
R
At
that
time,
I,
don't
remember
how
much
the
consultant
cost,
but
it
was
a
significantly
large
portion
of
money
that
was
allocated
towards
that
and
when
it
was
brought
before,
council
council
decided
that
the
eighth
ward
did
not
deserve
the
sort
of
community
center
that
eighth
ward
residents
were
asking
for
and
refused
to
even
accept
the
information
in
the
survey.
Here
we
are
having
a
huge
Community
Center
being
placed
in
the
center
of
town,
but
not
in
one
of
the
the
disenfranchised
areas.
I
think
that's
a
pretty
good
call.
R
S
S
58,
our
19
I
heard
that
the
first
time
in
South
Dakota
at
a
conference
where
every
single
Native
American
started
by
acknowledging
the
people
that
had
inhabited
the
land
before
we
came
here
and
I
thought
that
was
such
a
beautiful
and
necessary
thing
to
think
about
who
came
before
us
and
also
who
will
come
after
us.
I
think
that
in
the
work
that
I
do
in
equity
and
inclusion,
it
would
be
really
easy
to
put
something
to
think
that
putting
something
like
this
into
writing
is
somehow
an
admission
of
not
doing
the
work.
S
We
would
be
able
to
look
at
this
agenda
tonight
and
say
all
of
the
points
on
the
agenda
are
all
of
the
ways
that
citizens
already
feel
like
the
work
is
not
being
done,
and
so
people
continue
to
come
and
they
feel
like
they're
not
being
heard,
even
though
they
come
in
great
numbers.
They
show
up,
they
speak
out,
and
yet
it
appears
as
though
council
is
unswayed
by
all
of
the
impassioned
pleas
to
be
heard
on
the
library
lot.
A
T
Evening,
Evelyn,
McGowan
and
I'm
in
the
Third
Ward
last
time
I
spoke
here
was
in
the
March
meeting
and
I
spoke
about
my
opposition
to
development
of
the
parking
lot
library
parking
lot.
Development
and
I
got
home
that
night
and
thought
about
the
two
big
issues
that
were
discussed
that
evening
and
in
addition
to
the
development
of
the
parking
lot,
was
a
lot
of
discussion
about
payment
for
the
Robert
Crown
Center,
it's
kind
of
lying
in
bed
thinking.
Why
are
these
the
two
things
that
are?
T
You
know
we
just
look
at
a
snapshot
of
the
city
and
this
evening
and
those
two
developments
and
I
thought
back
on
the
very
first
time.
I'd
walked
into
the
Robert
Crown
Center
and
looked
around,
and
it
was
you
know
easily
twenty
years
ago
and
I
looked
at
this
building
and
I
thought.
You
know
what
this
was
a
big
missed
opportunity.
T
It's
not
a
beautiful
building,
there's
kind
of
neat
little
things
here
and
there,
and
so
here
we
are
in
2019
kind
of
trying
to
address
the
shortcomings
that
happened
a
few
decades
ago
and
as
much
as
I
love
the
library.
My
thinking
about
the
development
of
the
library
parking
lot
is
that
some
decision
was
made
at
that
time
to
take
part
of
the
alley
and
create
a
better
library,
but
leave
us
crippled
with
developing
that
parking
lot,
so
we're
sort
of
now
paying
the
price
for
not
doing
the
right
thing
a
few
decades
ago.
A
U
U
U
Additionally,
the
zoning
vent
variances
and
changes
have
been
going
on
in
majority,
minority,
neighborhoods
and
I'm.
Sorry,
this
deepens
the
segregation
of
our
town.
Can
we
do
something
different
about
that?
Like
now,
every
person
who
says
they're
an
anti-racist
here
on
the
second
floor?
Let's
join
together,
let's
demand
our
elected
representatives
get
down
to
business.
Thank
you.
U
A
V
Evening
tonight,
at
the
a
P
and
W
committee
item,
a8
was
swiftly
moved
forward
with
no
discussion
and
a
vote
I
hope
tonight.
Seoul
City
Council
will
have
a
full
discussion
about
this
item.
Yes,
it's
been
talked
about
it's
been
months.
You
know
we
all.
Even
if
everyone
has
talked
about
the
facts
of
this
project,
everyone
knows
it
do
they.
We
know
all
the
intricacies
of
this
project.
We
know
that
it's
not
the
right
thing
for
the
project,
but
there
might
be
a
right
project
for
the
site.
V
So
please
vote
no
on
item
a8,
but
you
know
just
do
not
grant
a
third
extension.
This
is
ridiculous.
It's
really
getting
ridiculous.
Why
do
we
have
a
zoning
code
if
we're
gonna
circumvent
it
in
text,
amendments
or
whatnot?
Please
follow
the
zoning
code,
deny
this
item
and
let's
start
again
and
have
a
civil
discussion
about
how
a
new
plan
development
can
move
beyond
that
site.
Thank
you.
W
You
very
much
I'm
Allie
Harned
from
the
second
Ward
good
evening.
Everyone
it's
been
a
while,
since
I've
been
able
to
come
to
City
Council
meetings,
I've
been
watching
on
YouTube,
though,
but
I
have
a
little
bit
of
a
hodgepodge
of
thoughts
that
have
been
piling
up
number
one.
A
90-minute
movie
is
a
film
screening.
It's
not
a
community
meeting
I
would
have
been
really
upset
if
I
had
come
in
person,
because
I
had
my
son
that
night,
he
hates
movies,
it
would
have
made
me
really
upset
too.
W
Civil
disobedience
happens
when
people
feel
disrespected
fed
up
when
there's
a
fight
that
needs
to
be
fought
regarding
decorum
at
council
I
agree
that
that
should
be
the
ideal.
But
let
us
not
forget
that
respect
begets
respect.

FOIA
has
obviously
been
a
hot
topic
throughout
tonight,
and
other
nights
I
found
an
interesting
article
about
a
government's
attempt
to
slip
in
a
change
in
FOIA
rules
around
a
major
holiday
so
that
it
would
avoid
media
and
public
scrutiny.
W
Opponents
to
the
rule
worried
that
it
would
make
it
harder
for
citizens
to
be
able
to
hold
the
government
accountable
and
the
government
spokesperson
defended
the
rule
change
saying:
restructuring
the
FOIA
operations
and
management
structure
will
increase
accountability,
consistency,
collaboration,
blah
blah
blah
increased
efficiency
will
mean
greater
transparency,
but
opponents
didn't
buy
that
the
government
entity
was
Trump's.
Department
of
the
Interior
want
one
number.
W
Finally,
I
am
in
favor
of
the
gesture
of
sp2
I
support
the
City
Council,
adopting
a
measure
to
acknowledge
white
supremacy
and
work
towards
its
eradication
and
to
work
for
racial
equity
and
I.
Commend
all
the
women
plumbing
in
Andrew
Simmons
for
drafting
it
and
bringing
it
forward,
however,
is
written
I,
don't
think
it
goes
far
enough.
The
two
action
points
are
a
good
start,
but
they
are
not
nearly
enough.
W
I
hope
that
in
your
discussion
tonight,
you
will
consider
adding
action
items
such
as
viewing
every
council
decision
through
the
equity
lens
that
is
often
cited,
considering
the
impact
of
big-ticket
items
on
issues
that
disproportionately
affect
families
of
colors,
such
as
affordable
housing
and
social
services.
You
could
also
consider
adding
an
action
item
to
apply
restorative
practices
when
harm
has
been
done,
which
has
been
which
has
a
foundation
of
white
supremacy
and
rice
racist
practices,
including
answering
emails
taking
or
declining
meetings
and
addressing
residents
and
fellow
members
of
the
dais.
A
A
Y
Ward
I'm
here
to
support
the
new
climbing
gym.
That's
being
talked
about
so
I
travel
across
the
country
for
work
and
I've,
been
to
dozens
of
these
types
of
climbing
gyms
and
first
ascent
company.
That
has
them
here
in
Chicago.
Has
the
best
I've
ever
seen,
hands
down
on
their
great
great
facility,
so
climbing
gyms?
How
do
they
differ
from
traditional
gyms?
Y
Climbing
gyms
are
mentally
and
physically
stimulating
environments
with
supportive
communities
behind
them,
which
I
find
vastly
different
than
our
traditional
gyms
with
treadmills
weights,
where
you're
just
kind
of
robotic
ly
going
through
the
motions
and
dragging
yourself
there.
You
know
every
time
it's
a
new
year's
resolution,
so
our
climbing
community,
its
diverse
its
engaging
it's
backed
by
you,
know
a
healthy
mindset
and
it's
accepting
values
that
I
see
within
Evanston.
You
know
the
people
around
me
climbing.
It's
also
changed
my
life.
Y
A
few
things
in
life
I
believe
have
the
ability
to
authentically
do
that
in
a
healthy
way,
and
if
this
gym
changes
one
person's
life
in
the
way
that
it
has
mind,
I
think
this
build
will
be
well
worth
this.
So
last
thing
I'll
say:
is
then
the
urban
environment
that
we
live
in
you
know,
Chicagoland
I
think
it's
easy
to
get
out
of
touch
with
nature,
and
this
is
a
great
way
to
show
folks
outdoors.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
A
Z
Evy
Russell,
seventh
Ward
first
I
want
a
second,
the
ascent
thing,
I'm
also
for
the
climbing
gym,
but
the
main
thing
is
here:
Alderman
all
the
people
breath
worth
and
rebell.
Please
step
up
to
democratic
plate.
Call
Anna
motion
to
reconsider
resolution,
57
our
19,
that's
the
foil
resolution
that
was
passed
mayor
Haggerty
tonight.
You
found
it
important
to
celebrate
events
from
50
years
ago,
but
without
freedom
of
information
you
and
every
other
person
on
the
council
could
not
have
had
access
to
those
historical
records
in
a
democracy.
Z
AA
It
going
everybody
I'm,
Joe
I'm
from
the
Ninth
Ward
and
I've
been
climbing
for
about
five
years.
So
this
is
for
a
sixteen
to
support
the
climbing
gym.
I
came
to
Evanston
three
years
ago
and
I
quickly
found
my
sense
of
community
at
the
at
first
to
send
the
climbing
gym
and
I've
been
a
regular
member.
Ever
since.
To
me,
the
climbing
gym
is
much
more
than
just
an
exercise
facility.
AA
The
climbing
community
has
given
me
some
of
the
best
friends
I
could
ask
for,
and
it's
intimate
ties
to
the
outdoors
have
given
me
a
profound
sense
of
admiration
and
respect
for
nature
and
climbing
has
really
brought
me
to
a
load
of
beautiful
places
to
actually
get
outdoors
and
I
might
not
even
live
in
Evanston
to
see
it
in
operation,
but
I
believe
that
Evanston
would
really
be
lucky
to
home.
The
first
ascent,
climbing
gym
and
the
facility
would
really
complement
the
great
sense
of
community
that
Evanston
has
thank
you.
Thank.
A
AB
Sites
here
from
the
9th
Ward
I'm,
also
a
climber
at
four
and
I've,
been
climbing
also
for
five
years
and
I
love
climbing,
because
it
means
so
many
things.
For
me,
it's
not
only
my
source
of
exercise
and
fitness,
but
it's
also
a
source
of
community.
It
brings
the
outdoors
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
just
really
fun.
AB
So
I
think
one
story
to
pretty
much
accurately
describe
first
ascent,
climbing
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
I
went
just
for
a
regular
night
of
climbing
and
about
10
minutes
getting
ready
to
climb.
Someone
approached
me
asked
if
I
could
climb
with
me
by
the
end
of
the
night,
we
were
exchanging
numbers
saying
we
were
going
to
climb
any
time
either
of
us
were
in
the
area
of
each
other.
This
person
was
in
their
40s
a
man
a
doctor.
AB
He
had
two
children,
we
had
very
different
walks
of
life,
and
this
sense
of
community
and
just
instant
connection
is
something
I
find
all
the
time
at
first
ascent.
This
is
not
out
of
the
ordinary,
so
first
ascent
lot.
It
means
a
lot
to
me
and
it
would
be
great
if
it
added
that
sense
of
community
to
Evanston.
Thank
you
thank.
AC
AC
And
that's
just
a
small
portion
of
the
representation
of
the
climbing
community
here
in
Evanston.
First,
a
first-class
climbing
facility
brings
climbers
climbers
spend
time
and
money
and
they
eat
they
drink.
We
all
go
out.
It's
a
very
social
kind
of
sport
and
first
ascent
is
also
going
to
do
some
competitions
and
events
that
will
use
our
vendors
like
smiley,
Brothers
and
such
things
so
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
that
it
will
actually
bring
in
more
revenue
than
you
might
think,
just
based
on
its
own
facility.
They
really
branch
out.
AC
A
AD
Another
large
office
building
proposal
is
coming
through
Deborah.
Now
that
can
meet
our
need
for
office
space
in
a
site,
that's
appropriately
zoned
for
it
and
not
degrading
the
residentially
zoned
neighborhood,
the
developers
stated
need
to
be
able
to
to
what
to
work
with
historic,
landmark.
Neighbors
is
a
moot
point
as
according
to
corporation
council,
your
upcoming
reconsideration
vote
must
be
on
the
exact
same
ordinance
that
failed
council
unless
there's
an
unexpected
anomaly.
AD
Instead
of
opening
the
door
for
even
the
appearance
of
an
anomaly,
and
instead
of
inviting
more
controversy,
let's
start
anew,
let's
collaborate
and
flourish
like
the
North
light
development
which
went
from
a
this,
is
the
only
way
with
a
39
story,
high-rise
that
the
community
hated.
We
are
now
have
a
wonderful,
appropriately
sized
smaller
project
that
citizens
welcomed
with
open
arms.
Alderman
Simmons
also
started
anew
by
discarding
a
controversial
development
and
asked
the
developer
to
work
with
residents.
AD
AE
I
am
NOT
a
climber
but
I'm
here
tonight
in
support
of
first
ascent,
because
I'm
married
to
a
climber
and
I
am
the
mother
of
a
climber
and
we've
heard
a
lot
of
different
viewpoints.
What
I'd
like
to
just-
let
you
guys
know
I've,
lived
here
for
15
years
and
moved
here
by
choice,
even
though
I
grew
up
in
a
neighboring
suburb.
AE
That
will
you
know
just
we'll,
keep
it
quiet,
but
as
I
raised,
my
kids,
who
are
now
17
and
18
I,
realized
on
a
very
regular
basis
how
much
money
we
spent
outside
of
Evanston
for
recreation.
We
have
Wilmette
pool
passes
because
there
isn't
an
Evanston
pool,
we
Bowl
in
Wilmette,
because
there
isn't
a
bowling
alley
in
Evanston
when
they
were
little.
We
went
to
pumping
up
in
Glenview
because
there's
not
an
inflatables
place
in
Evanston
as
they
got
bigger.
We
headed
to
Niles
for
sky-high
trampolining.
AE
So
now
I
have
a
climber
and
he
climbed
in
Haven
middle
school.
He
climbs
on
the
climbing
Club
at
ETH
s
and
we
have
a
membership
at
lifetime,
fitness
which
is
in
Skokie
because
of
their
climbing
facilities.
So
I
really
urge
you
to
welcome
first
ascent,
because
we
would
like
to
spend
our
money
in
Evanston
right
now.
He
drives
to
first
descent
in
Avondale
the
the
Chicago
location.
My
husband
is
often
left
behind,
but
occasionally
invited
along,
and
they
would
both
like
to
spend
their
money
and
we
hope
you'll
support
first
ascent.
So
thank
you.
AE
AF
Good
evening,
everyone
ray
Friedman
second
Ward
before
I
read
my
short
comment,
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
to
Robyn
Simmons
for
posting,
her
minutes
for
her
Ward
meeting,
and
hopefully
all
the
other
wards
will
follow
suit
and
do
the
same
so
I
just
want
to
say:
I
do
not
have
a
hidden
agenda.
I
try
to
be
as
honest
and
straightforward
as
I
can,
without
offending
anyone
working
with
the
community
and
over
and
over
the
past
two
years.
We
have
asked
a
lot
of
questions
and
raised
a
lot
of
concerns,
but
have
received
few
answers.
AF
Some
aldermen
say
that
they
are
surprised
and
disappointed
at
the
anger
in
the
room.
My
question
is:
why
are
you
not
addressing
the
cause
of
the
anger
and
frustration?
Why
do
we
need
to
ask
the
same
questions
over
and
over?
We
need
answers
on
all
issues.
Not
responding
to
all
FOIA
requests
is
not
following
the
legal
system
having
three
new
FOIA
officers
from
three
different
offices
is
contrary
to
the
reason
it
was
set
up
in
the
first
place.
AF
This
is
the
reason
we
voted
for
davon
Reed
as
our
one
and
only
FOIA
officer,
and
should
be
allowed
to
add,
as
many
assistants
as
he
deems
necessary.
Devine
already
has
one
assistant
and
you
have
not
shown
any
reason
to
add
any
additional
FOIA
officers.
Please
reconsider
your
vote
and
allow
davon
Reed
to
be
the
one
and
only
FOIA
officer,
as
this
is
the
only
one
of
only
one
of
the
reasons
we
elected
him
for
this
positions.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Ray.
AG
Hello,
my
name
is
Jim
Barclay
I'm
from
Ward
9
I'm
a
fairly
new
resident
of
Evanston.
This
is
my
first
time
at
a
city
council
meeting
real
quick
I
would
like
to
voice
my
support
on
a
no
vote
for
the
extension
of
time
for
the
developers
of
a
library.
A
lot
I
have
yet
to
speak
to
an
Evanston
resident
who
supports
the
proposed
development
I.
AG
Don't
understand
why
you
would
extend
them
more
time.
The
main
reason
I'm
here,
though,
is
I,
speak
in
support
of
building
the
first
ascent,
climbing
a
gym.
I
too,
had
my
life
changed
by
climbing
I'd,
bring
my
children
to
the
climbing
gym
when
I
moved
to
Evanston
I
had
to
stop
going
to
the
climbing
gym
and
I'm
frustrated
by
the
climbing
gyms
that
are
here
and
in
town.
AG
I
want
a
big
climbing
wall
and
I
want
to
build
my
first
descent,
because
safety
and
community
are
at
the
forefront
of
their
their
mission
and
what
they
do
and
they
do
bring
a
lot
to
their
community.
Climbing
is
a
healthy
activity
for
all
ages.
I
started
at
the
age
of
36.
I
know
people
who
started
at
the
age
of
60
people
I
met
at
the
climbing
gym.
It'll
bring
taxable
income
to
Evanston
it'll
help
bring
business
and
liven
up
the
Dodge
McCormick
corridor.
AG
A
AH
One
of
the
things
I
agree
that
the
58
r19
is
a
good
concept,
but
I
want
you
to
understand
that
in
1776
the
Declaration
was
passed,
which
said
all
men
are
created
equal
and
it
was
passed
by
a
group
of
slaveholders,
no
women
and
yet
own
property.
So
was
sheer
hypocrisy,
a
resolution
that
we
passed
last
week
denying
FOIA
rights
for
mr.
AH
Reid
is
an
example
of
hypocrisy
as
every
relates
to
his
equity
concept,
the
Harley
Clarke
activity,
the
Robert
crown
problems,
the
library
law,
in
other
words,
I,
could
stand
here
for
the
next
five
minutes
and
named
instances
of
violating
the
concept
of
equity
and
inclusion
corruption
goals
in
two
ways:
one
power,
the
fact
that
they
have
power.
Anybody
who
has
part
is
subject
to
being
corrupt
money,
corrupts
people
give
money
and
donate
and
that
corrupts
catering
to
the
1%
rather
than
dealing
with
the
99
percent
of
the
citizen
as
a
matter
of
corruption,
collegiality.
AH
You,
like
you,
have
too
much
that
you
forget
that
you
have
a
commitment
and
a
duty
to
the
citizen.
Again,
traditional
evidence
is
so
racist
town
I
grew
up
in
a
racist
town.
I
could
spend
another
hour
giving
examples
of
racism.
Can
you
wrap
it
up
and
like
on
grunts
you're
darn
right,
so
we
need
to
either
consider
ourselves
being
changing
and
altering
our
behavior
and
not
become
active
in
Chicago.
Politico
spent
a
lot
of
time,
corrupt
politics
in
Chicago
and
deal
with
the
wishes
and
needs
of
the
citizens
that
you
hear
talk
to
you.
AI
AJ
AJ
It's
a
bit
troubling.
You
say
people
are
afraid
to
come,
speak
because
of
angry
citizens.
I,
don't
see
this
I,
don't
I,
didn't
I,
didn't
witness
this
in
videos.
I
didn't
really
see
threat,
so
I
saw
passion.
Yeah
right,
I
also
didn't
appreciate
the
called
violence
by
bringing
up
active,
shooters
and
I
fear
for
the
safety
of
the
speakers
of
this.
For
this
it's
inappropriate
I
see
you
disregarding
the
views
of
the
citizen.
AJ
AJ
The
resolution
to
end
structural
racism
is
a
soft
statement
that
will
only
be
meaningful
really
when
we
see
goals,
objectives
and
actual
revision
to
policies
and
procedures
that
get
beyond
training
sessions,
and
this
is
really
odd
timing.
I
find
after
the
passing
of
57
r19,
we
think
we
should
bring
down
that
we
elected
to
Vaughn
right.
AK
We
seek
to
stick
to
for
projects
like
the
new
robert
crown
and
taking
a
high
bid,
because
we
like
the
contractor
so
that
high
property
taxes
result
higher
rents,
force
people
out
of
town
I'm,
also
here
to
plead
for
all
the
white
liberals,
not
to
break
our
arms
patting
ourselves
on
the
back
and
allowing
a
a
resolution,
a
mere
resolution,
to
hijack
our
attention
to
the
specific
issues.
The
council
votes
on
every
week
that
make
the
need
for
an
anti-racist
resolution
necessary.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

on
up

If
you're
here,
then
we
got
Doreen

then
Katie

then
William

all
right.
If
the
others
just
wanted,
we've
got
Caroline,

if
you

are
just
getting
ready.
Thank
you
good.
AL
Evening,
my
name
is
Caroline
Wilkerson,
Ward,
3,
disabled
Navy,
veteran
avid
climber,
and
it's
something
that
my
daughter,
she's
10.
She
and
I
do
together
and
it's
been
so
meaningful
to
go
there
and
see
these
small
children.
You
know
working
so
hard
and
you
see
they're,
like
you
know,
their
brains,
working
problem.
Solving
proprioception
and
I
could
talk
about
the
community.
You've
already
heard
about
that,
but
I
know
it
to
a
large
extent.
AL
What
really
matters
is
where
the
money's
at
and
we
go
to
Humboldt
Park
and
we
eat
in
that
community
afterwards,
and
we've
tried
new
restaurants
that
we
never
would
have
had
before.
I
didn't
even
know,
living
in
Chicago
my
whole
life
that
there
was
actually
a
huge
Park
in
Humboldt.
Park
I,
admit
that
and
it's
beautiful
and
now
we
want
to
go
there.
AL
We
want
to
spend
time
there
and
try
the
boats
and
explore
and
there
would
be
no
facility
like
this
anywhere
else
in
the
area
and
it
would
pull
people
from
all
over
the
North
Shore
from
Chicago
and
have
an
opportunity
to
show
people
this
beautiful
community
that
is
so
United
and
so
diverse.
And
yes,
we
have
our
problems,
but
it's
so
inspiring
to
be
here
and
see
all
of
this
and
everything
that
we
stand
for
and
first
ascent
stands
for
all
of
those
things.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
AM
If
someone
will
looked
up
the
seattle
city
on
that
website
of
the
group,
I'm
not
doing
my
acronyms
right,
but
anyway
of
the
group
that
can
navigate
the
city.
There's
infrastructure,
there's
all
sorts
of
goodies
in
there
that
from
the
get-go.
You
can
take
this,
as
is
apply
it
to
Evanston,
but
it
was
ignored
in
terms
of
the
availability
which
is
available.
AM
Much
less
thing
is
that
the
statement
that
makes
me
shudder
and
quiver
and
not
very
confident
it
says,
while
the
City
Council
understands
this
resolution,
will
not
repair
harm
or
make
a
tangible
change
in
individuals,
life
experience
we
desire
to
make
a
a
commitment.
Well,
how
can
you
make
a
public
commitment
with
no
outcome?
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
AN
You
good
evening
my
name
is
Katie
Robinson
I
live
in
Ward,
4
and
I
am
speaking
tonight
on
behalf
and
in
support
of
the
climbing
gym.
I've
been
a
member
at
first
ascent
for
almost
a
year
now
and
I
love
the
gym.
It
is
more
than
a
gym.
It
is
a
community
and
it's
not
just
a
community
of
people
that
look
and
think
and
talk.
Like
me,
it
is
very
much
a
diverse
community,
also
it's
very
much
a
community
of
there's
a
lot
of
women
supporting
women
being
strong
and
I.
AN
Think
that
that's
something
that
a
lot
of
sports
in
general
kind
of
do,
but
this
the
climbing
community
you're
literally
cheering
for
other
people
as
they're,
climbing
up
the
wall
and
that's
a
really
cool
in
supportive
environment
that
I
enjoy
being
a
part
of,
and
lastly,
I
do
go
out
with
a
lot
of
my
friends
out
to
eat
afterwards
and
I
think
it
could
bring
a
lot
of
nice
economical
benefits
to
the
city
of
Evanston.
Thank
you
so
much
thank.
AO
Good
evening
William
Eason
born
and
raised
in
Evanston
just
relocated
back
here
into
the
Ninth
Ward
recently
here
to
speak
158
our
19
I
can
personally
relate
to
Clark
Reed.
I
meyer
your
courage
and
leadership
under
duress.
I
too
was
harassed
for
doing
my
job.
I
settled
a
lawsuit
with
the
maga
YMCA
in
January
of
2005
I
brought
a
case
against
them,
because
I
was
under
scrutiny
for
bringing
in
and
I
quote
too
many
black
memberships.
Unquote.
I
was
not
allowed
to
speak
with
this
for
seven
years.
Under
the
agreement.
AO
AO
It
was
in
the
dead
of
night
over
Memorial
Day
weekend
and
was
very
undemocratic
if
you
that
right,
then,
with
systemic
racism,
this
council
engaged
in
systemic
racism
two
weeks
ago,
and
now
you
want
us
to
just
you
want
to
put,
and
that
was
policy.
You
voted
on
policy.
This
is
an
even
policy.
It
doesn't
even
substitute
what
you
want
everybody
to
be
here.
For
this.
AP
Good
evening,
good
evening,
I
just
wanted
to
say
Dino
Robinson
shorefront
legacy
shares
his
story
at
also
the
late
great
Dora
Johnson.
This
was
a
this
person.
I'm
gonna
talk
about
what
skin
to
her
has
also
told
his
story,
but
in
1916
Abbeville
South
Carolina,
Anthony
Crawford,
many
of
his
family
migrated
to
Evanston.
After
this
this
incident
he
was
a
farmer
owned,
400
acres
of
land
and
because
of
a
dispute
with
a
white
man
who
felt
that
Anthony
Crawford
should
get
in
the
back
of
the
line.
AP
We
need
to
be
careful
and
I
want
to
recommend
that
everybody
that
came
out
today
on
this
item,
let's
in
the
next
equity
empowerment
meeting
where
Artemus
Simmons
made
a
really
good
reference
around
repaired
story,
justice
and
to
make
sure
we
have
some
real
actionable
items
that
as
a
community,
we
all
need
to
get
around.
So
please
I,
don't
know
what
the
data
is,
but
they
can
share
that
with
you.
Please
show
up
to
the
next
meeting
and
let's
get
to
work.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
AQ
Okay,
I
think
public
comments
getting
better
and
better
every
week.
It's
fabulous
sharing.
All
this
and
I
think
people
are
really
waking
up
and
they're.
Saying
guys.
Please
listen
to
us.
You
know
we're
not
going
away
we're
getting
stronger,
we're
joining
hands
were
crossing
wards
and
we're
working
together.
So
we
just
want
you
to
really
really
listen.
I
am
here.
I
support,
like
everybody.
That's
been
talking,
I,
actually
think
that
what
we've
heard
here
is
a
cry
and
then
a
cry
Adam
and
I
scream
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
We
supported
Devine.
AQ
We
believe
our
rights
lie
in
the
elected
officials
office
and
see
if
there'd
been
a
problem.
There
should've
been
a
discussion
and
a
story
and
not
over
holiday
weekend,
but
I'm
here
for
also
because
I
just
saw
that
there's
a
liquor
application
or
change
liquor
over
at
the
youth
to
district,
which
is
a
university
district.
It's
a
special
district,
it's
the
only
one
entire
city
and
it's
a
college
university
area
in
the
middle
of
a
residential.
AQ
It's
not
a
commercial
entertainment
area
and
I
think
that
Robert
crown
I'm
very
concerned
has
become
this
magnet
for
to
justify
every
decision
that
we
need
to
make
money
and
I
think
we
have
to
really
really
really
protect
our
residents
and
our
neighborhoods
and
don't
make
the
money
that
we
have
to
figure
out
how
to
pay
that
debt
at
the
cost
of
our
neighborhoods
and
everybody
else
in
this
town.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AR
Rhonda
green
fifth
Ward
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
increased
liquor
licenses
that
seems
like
everybody's
coming
in
town.
They
want
one
to
also
talk
about
the
one,
that's
I
think
Northland
Northwestern
once
have
doing
the
games.
You
already
have
problems
with
them
at
games,
not
even
had
liquor
to
them,
which
increase
this.
AR
There
has
never
been
well
at
least
I
know.
Since
I
was
a
clerk.
There
has
never
been
an
opportunity
where
the
clerk
alone
was
a
number
one
one-percent
person
who
takes
care
of
all
for
you.
That
is
something
that
the
clerk's
that
I
know
in
other
municipalities
does
that
have
the
last
say
so
on
that
the
clerk's
office,
again,
as
I
said
before,
receives
disperses
and
for
four
years
this
is
not
a
it's
get
to
a
point.
Nine
that
this
discussion
is
such
a
diverse
splitting
of
the
white
and
black
brown
community.
AR
AR
Then
Thursday
I
received
a
phone
call
on
my
cell
phone
telling
me
not
to
come
back
accounts
me
neither
no
and
if
I
spoke
of
Devon
Reed
again
beware:
my
life
is
in
danger,
so
I
don't
know
what's
going
on
well,
how
does
going
on
but
I
just
want
you
to
let
you
know
that
I'm
not
afraid
of
anybody
in
this
this
town,
but
if
you,
if
you
man
enough
to
store
them,
call
me
on
my
cell
phone,
you
should
be
man
understanding
my
face
and
let
me
know
you
you
are.
Thank
you.

the

honoring
and
recognizing
the
fallen
soldiers
and
ever

is
greatly
appreciated.
It's

Thank
You,
mayor

others
who
made
this
event
possible.
Sp
resolution

are
in

Do

All
council
members
vote
to
commit
themselves
tonight
to
end
the
structural
racism
and
achieve
racial
equity
and
the
city
operation.
AS
This
is
a
beginning
also,
but
I
also
believe
this
resolution
58
are
a
19
should
have
could
have
entailed
more
just
the
committee,
just
a
committee,
it's
not
enough,
but
in
my
opinion
it's
long
overdue
here
in
Elliston.
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
council
members
for
crack
and
open
the
front
door
that
has
been
ignored
and
closed
for
decades
here
in
Evanston.
AS
Ordinates
excuse
me:
8:17,
ordinance,
37-0,
19
I'm,
not
familiar
with
the
ordinance
of
the
city
of
Everson
purchasing
property,
but
my
concern
is
that
the
fifth
Ward
people,
particularly
black
folks
cut
it
folks-
need
to
have
a
chance
to
buy
up
some
of
this
property
and
not
be
excluded.
Correct
me,
if
I'm
wrong
number
four
I
want
the
councilmembers
to
note
that
I
do
not
agree
in
their
decision
that
was
voted
upon
with
the
clerk
of
evidence.
AS
AS
AV
A
Can
hear
they
can
hear
out
there,
but
can
you
all
in
here
here
if
we're
talking
at
this
level?
Not
really
so
here's
what
we're
gonna
do
we're
gonna
go
we're
gonna,
go
ahead
and
take
a
short
break
and
we're
gonna
resume
as
soon
as
our
technical
staff
can
get
the
the
speakers
back
up
and
working.
So
everyone
can
hear
the
discussion.
I
can
have
a
motion
to
recess.
A
Is
there
a
second
all
in
favor
all
right,
we're
gonna
recess
until
we
get
this
taken
care
all
right,
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
resume
the
Monday
June
10th
2019
Evanston
City
Council
meeting.
As
everybody
knows,
we
just
finished
up
public
comment:
kudos
to
Alderman
Wilson
who's,
the
one
who
fixed
the
problem.
How
about
that
alderman
Wilson!
You
want
to
tell
everybody
what
you
did
you.
AW
A
Like
somebody,
that's
owns
a
old
home
here
in
Evanston.
We
will
we
all
attended
that
so
yeah
all
right
all
right.
Well,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that.
We're
gonna
go
ahead
now
and
move
into
the
special
orders
of
business.
If
somebody
wouldn't
mind
just
because
we
get
a
lot
of
feedback
here,
shutting
the
larger
door
we
get
the
TV
out
there,
so
folks
can
hear.
What's
going
on,
could
I
ask
Alderman
win
if
you
would
introduce
sp1
and
the
reason
I'm
asking
that
is
because
I
know
that
you
come
from
a
military
family.
AX
Sp1
is
resolution:
53
are
nineteen
designating
eligibility
for
memorialization
of
service
members
on
the
fountain
square
memorial
wall,
mayor
Haggerty,
recommend
to
City
Council,
adopt
this
resolution,
which
formally
adopts
requirements
to
honor,
fallen
soldiers,
sailors,
Marines,
Airmen
and
Coast
Guardsmen
from
Evanston
who
lost
their
lives
in
combat
and
they
previously,
the
rules
were
not
formally
adopted.
So
I
move
approval
of
this
second.
A
Alright,
alderman
or
Simmons
second,
and
it
just
a
little
background
here
for
the
public
and
other
people,
so
the
names
of
the
people
that
are
on
the
memorial
wall
here
in
Evanston.
The
history
has
been
that
you
ended
up
on
that
wall.
If
you
filled
out
a
document
when
you
were
in
the
military,
that
was
your
home
of
record
and
the
home
of
record,
give
you
one
choice
in
the
NSA
okay.
This
is
this
is
my.
This
is
my
home.
A
His
mom
and
I
separated
I've
lived
here,
my
entire
life,
you
know
if
walls
and
memorials
are
they're
really
for
the
living,
then
you
know
it
would
be
our
request
that
our
son
also
be
recognized
on
this
on
this
wall,
and
so
we've
been
working
for
quite
some
time
with
the
VFW
American
Legion
as
well
as
consultant.
Other
people
I
consulted
the
secretary,
the
former
Secretary
of
the
Navy,
who
on
a
board
with
and
and
he
said
to
me,
look
Steve.
The
world
has
changed.
A
There
are
people
recognized
on
more
than
one
memorial
around
this
around
this
country
and
there's
nothing
wrong
and
there's
nothing
wrong
with
that,
and
this
is
the
decisions
that's
really
up
to
the
local
community
and
how
they
want
to
handle
it.
So
that's
just
a
little
background
on
that.
Are
there
any
any
further
discussion
on
this?
L
A
Opposed
okay,
so
terrific
resolution
53
in
our
19
designating
eligibility
for
memorialization
of
service
members
on
the
fountain
square.
Memorial
wall
passes
the
Evanston
City
Council
on
a
nine
to
zero
vote.
I
would
like
to
recognize
one
individual.
That
I
think
is
here:
Mike
roach.
Are
you
in
the
room?
If
you
just
stand
up,
I
just
want
to
I
just
want
to
recognize
Mike,
Mike
and
and
a
is
a
veteran
here
in
this
country,
and
a
good
friend
of
his
Kenny
Sucher
sue.
A
Sure
who
has
spoken
before
here
are
the
folks
that
have
been
working
on
this
issue
for
quite
for
quite
some
time
and
again
they
and
they
understand
some
of
the
complex
cities
and
everything
else
and
I-
think
we've
written
and
approved
an
ordinance
here.
That's
a
smart
one
going
forward.
So
thank
you
for
your
help.
Life
and
family.
A
U
A
AU
And
whereas
the
city
of
Evanston
recognizes
that
there
is
an
escalation
of
hatred,
bigotry
and
overt
racism
in
our
country
and
whereas,
in
order
for
the
city
of
Evanston,
fully
to
fully
embrace
the
change
necessary
to
move
our
community
forward,
it
is
necessary
to
recognize
acknowledge
its
own
history
of
discrimination
and
racial
injustice.
The
land
we
currently
know,
as
Evanston
originally
belonged
to
the
Potawatomi
tribe,
and
so
they
were
forcefully
and
violently
relocated
at
the
hands
of
cop
white
colonizers.
AU
John
Evans,
our
city
namesake,
played
a
role
in
the
Sand
Creek
Massacre
that
killed
approximately
150
Native
Americans
and
the
first
Evanston
resident
of
African
descent.
Maria
Murray
was
a
former
slave
who
was
purchased
by
the
vane
family
to
labor
as
a
domestic
in
their
home
in
1855,
whereas
the
city
of
Evanston
government
recognizes
that,
like
like
most,
if
not
all,
communities
in
the
US,
the
government,
this
community
and
the
government
allowed
and
perpetuated
racial
disparity
due
to
the
use
of
many
regulatory
and
see
oriented
tools.
AU
Some
examples
would
include,
but
are
not
limited
to
the
use
of
zoning
laws
that
supported
neighborhood,
redlining
municipal
divestment
in
the
black
community
and
a
history
of
bias
and
government
service.
Such
practices
were
often
overt
were
more
often
courtly,
covertly
adopted
and
incorporated
under
the
guise
of
what
would
appear
to
be
legitimate
policy.
AU
Not
only
for
those
who
lived
through
them,
but
for
generations
to
follow
now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
by
the
City
Council
city
of
Evanston,
Cook
County,
Illinois,
that,
in
accordance
with
the
fundamental
principles
set
forward
in
the
Declaration
of
Independence,
which
asserts
as
a
fundamental

basis
that
all
people
are
created
equal

We

in

to
dig
for
our

how

there's

AU
Join
the

and
equity

agencies
working

racial
equity
in
defense
of
opportunities
for
all.
So
I
had
a
couple
comments
that
I
want
to
make
to
this
resolution.
There's
been
lot
that
had
been
said
tonight.
Lots
that's
been
said,
you
know,
and
in
the
community,
so
I
just
read.
Four
thousand
seven
hundred
eighty-four
words,
lots
of
words
on
a
piece
of
paper,
I
make
no
claim.
AU
I
am
not
naive
to
believe
that
seven
hundred
and
four
thousand
seven
hundred
eighty
four
words
are
going
to
be
life-changing
without
any
action.
I
understand
the
frustration
by
many
in
this
room
in
this
community.
It
was
not
light-hearted
that
I
set
out
to
this
task.
It
was
not
to
patronize.
It
was
not
to
be
a
mouthpiece
for
the
mayor
to
smooth
over
racial
relations,
which
some
people
have
accused
me
of.
AU
Clearly,
people
who
don't
know
me
very
well,
it
was
to
start
what
I
hope
can
be
a
productive
healing
process
and
a
learning
for
the
City
Council.
So,
as
everyone
I
said
tonight,
there
is
lots
of
work.
To
do
a
resolution
is
not
one
that
is
an
action
plan.
Necessarily
it
is
a
commitment
in
a
statement
that
you
can
hold
us
and
we
can
hold
ourselves
to
in
writing
this.
There
was
not
my
goal
to
set
out
a
dissertation
and
every
step
that
needs
to
happen,
because
that
is
the
role
of
this
entire
council.
AU
AU
It
is
the
resolution
of
the
City
Council,
but
just
like
everything
else
and
accent
starts
somewhere
and
so
I
have
spent
the
last
five
years
or
so
I'm,
educating
myself
on
racial
equity
as
it
pertains
to
government
agencies
and
so
I
wanted
to
use
the
lot
knowledge
that
I
have
to
get
us
moving
and
that's
not
to
discount
the
work
that
has
been
done.
The
council
before
us
committed
to
hiring
a
director
of
equity.
There
was
an
appointment
made
of
inequity
and
empowerment,
Commission
and
those
are
our
important
things.
AU
But
when
I've
studied
and
learned
from
other
cities
is
that
if
there
is
not
a
firm
commitment
from
leadership,
our
staff
and
our
committees
can't
do
the
work
that
they
need.
The
goal
is
for
us
who
are
elected,
to
represent
you
to
do
that,
with
an
understanding
of
how
those
decisions
impact
you.
The
goal
of
racial
equity
in
the
government
is
not
for
a
commission
or
one
staff
to
lead
all
this
work
and
then
tell
the
King.
You
know
tell
us
what
to
do
so.
AU
Let
me
just
first
start
by
or
not
first,
but
let
me
also
just
speak
to
the
language,
so
the
language
is
harsh,
because
racism
is
harsh
and
I.
Don't
know
a
way
that
you
can
sincerely
talk
about
it
without
using
some
harsh
language
and
I,
don't
use
it
to
offend
I
use
it.
To
be
honest,
if
you
hurt
someone
part
of
that
repair
is
apology.
They
don't
necessarily
believe
you
should
go
straight
to
some
action.
You
need
to
stop
and
recognize
what
you
did.
That
is
what
this
document
does.
AU
This
document
is
the
council
saying
that
we
understand,
and
not
even
all
of
us
on
this
council
and
in
many
councils
before
that
there
have
been
some
things
that
have
harmed
our
community.
A
lot
of
people
who
are
here
who
tell
these
stories
who
talk
in
our
community
talk
about
things
that
happen
way
before
I
was
born,
but
they
are
still
holding
on
something
because
they
were
harmful.
It
is
important
that
you
speak
on
that
that
you
tell
the
truth
about
that
and
that
you
ask
for
you
you
apologize.
AU
That
is
what
this
document
does
so
I.
You
know
I
understand
that
even
tonight
people
don't
believe
us
people
have.
You
know
lots
of
mixed
feelings
and
I
get
that
I
am
not
reading
that
to
discount
you
I'm,
not
reading
that
to
tell
you
you
never
come
back
to
council
I'm,
not
reading
that,
for
you
to
you
know
all
of
a
sudden
believe
and
love
all
of
us
sitting
here.
AU
I'm
reading
this
as
a
starting
point,
this
is
a
very
long
process,
much
of
which
started
before
I
got
here:
civil
rights,
movement
and
so
on,
but
we
have
not
arrived
so
we
have
to
keep
working.
I
am
hopeful.
I'm
gonna
work
my
hardest
to
get
us.
You
know
the
next
step
for,
but
it
takes
time
it
takes
time.
Part
of
the
training
that
we
have
to
undergo
is
for
us
all
to
understand
what
that
means.
We
all
have
different
interests.
We
all
have
different
capacities.
AU
We
all
have
different
things
that
you
know
that
we
work
on.
This
is
something
that
I
happen
to
know
something
about:
I'm,
not
a
master
and
so
I
wanted
to
use
what
I
know
to
do
what
I
thought
was
best
to
get
us
moving,
not
to
patronize,
not
to
you
know,
heal
over
what
harm
people
felt
last
week,
but
this
was
to
acknowledge
to
admit,
to
apologize
and
to
get
moving
forward
and
I
understand
that
everyone's
not
gonna,
accept
that
and
that's
okay,
we're
all
individuals,
but
this
was
the
part
that
I
wanted
to
play.
AU
This
was
the
commitment
that
I
asked
to
move
forward
and
saying
that,
in
terms
of
me
being
the
author,
it
honestly
was
my
heartfelt
effort
to
offer
this
I
reached
out
to
every
person
of
this
town
some
multiple
times.
Many
people
gave
input
that
was
put
into
the
resolution,
and
so
my
goal
with
the
cities
for
this
to
be
something
that
we
can
all
accept
at
the
different
places
of
our
own
understanding
and
make
a
public
commitment
to
our
citizens.
That
does
not
mean
the
next
week.
Everything
is
better.
AU
It
does
not
mean
in
the
two
years
that
we
have
left
up
here.
Everything
is
better,
but
it
means
that
we
are
making
a
public
commitment
to
do
better
and
that's
I
think
all
I
can
give
you
so
in
terms
of
the
next
steps
that
are
not
outlined
in
here,
because
again,
proclamations
aren't
necessarily
to
all
that
we
are
already
scheduled
to
as
a
council
to
you
know
our
racial
equity
training,
the
one
training
does
not
solve
everything,
but
you
do
have
to
get
some
learning.
AU
I
will
also
I
found
myself
to
work
with
I'm
alderman
Wayne,
who
sits
on
the
equity,
an
empowerment,
Commission
I've,
already
spoken
to
staff
about
helping
a
city
to
make
an
equity
plan.
That
takes
some
time.
We
will
bring
that
back
to
the
council,
for
the
council
to
know
and
to
understand,
but
those
are
things
that
are
part
of
a
process
and
processes
are
slow
and
bumpy,
and
so
all
I
can
ask.
Is
that
you
know
my
peers
if
they
feel
so.
AU
AU
You
know
more
tangible
things
that
are
coming
I
mean
we
will
have
more
tangible
things
coming
and
you'll
be
able
to
see
where
we
are
in
our
journey
and
it
won't
be
perfect
and
it
won't
be
pretty,
and
we
won't
all
agree,
but
we
have
to
make
the
pledge
to
you
that
we're
going
to
commit
to
that.
So
that
was
my
goal
and
rightness
I
appreciate
all
of
my
peers,
who
have
talked
to
me
about
it
who
have
given
their
input.
We
haven't
all
agreed
on
this.
AU
We
don't
all
agree
on
the
language
of
this,
but
I
think
that
we
are
in
this
job
because
we
want
what's
best
for
our
community.
No
one
is
sitting
here,
making
two
dollars
a
meetings.
You
know
just
because
so
I
guess
I'm
asking
on
my
behalf
that
you
all
extend
us
a
little
grace
and
understand
we're
not
perfect
and
that
we
can
all
as
a
community,
try
to
work
to
get
where
we
need
to
get.
AU
In
my
last
statement,
as
somebody
mentioned
to
me,
you
know
about
the
high
school
and
all
the
stuff
they're
doing
and
and
I
wasn't
here
when
that
happened,
but
I
have
a
pretty
good
relation
with
dr.
Witherspoon.
What
he
tells
me
is
that
when
he
came
here
before
they
started
the
restructuring
at
the
high
school,
he
got
up,
I,
think
in
a
board
meeting
or
whoever
he
was,
and
he
said
you
know
I
feel
like
we
are
practicing.
Apartheid
in
this
school
totally
knows
very
popular
thing
for
him
to
say
at
the
time.
AU
You
know
probably
some
left
or
probably
some
stay
whatever
happened,
but
that
that
started
with
him
setting
the
direction
for
his
school,
the
change
he
wanted
to
see
for
the
students
in
the
school,
and
so
that
is
what
this
document
and
my
mind
is
to
setting
us
on
a
direction
that
we
all
have
to
travel
together.
So
that
is
my
statement.
Thank
You
mayor.
AY
Sorry
that
alderman
win.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
Cicely.
This
is
a
very
interesting
document
and,
after
your
comments,
I
am
going
to
support
it.
However,
I
am
going
to
ask
you
to
open
up
and
be
more
inclusive
going
forward.
I
do
believe
this
is
your
resolution.
I
think
it's
very
personal
and
I
think
it's
very
impressive
and
I
think
it's
very
much
from
your
soul
from
your
heart
and
very
much
from
your
brain,
but
I
would
very
much
like
to
see
this
go
after
this
council
supports
it
and
I
hope
everyone
here
does.
AY
I
would
like
to
see
this
go
to
the
equity
and
empowerment
Commission,
so
that
the
community
can
be
involved
in
expanding
it.
Several
people
there
was
only
one
exception
that
came
to
the
podium
tonight,
who
was
was
not
very
supportive
of
our
embracing
this
and
I
found
that
unfortunate,
because
I
too
have
done
a
lot
believe
it
or
not.
A
lot
of
research
on
this
issue.
Communities
all
over
this
country
are
doing
this
very
thing.
Many
are
way
behind
us.
AY
Many
are
way
in
advance
of
us
and
I
will
tell
you
when
I
saw
that
you
were
suggesting
that
we
get
involved
with
the
government
Alliance
on
racial
equity,
I
was
so
impressed.
That
is
probably
one
of
the
best
organizations
that
we
could
hook
up
with.
I
insist
that
we
support
Sicily
on
that,
but
I
think
everybody
has
to
buy
into
this
and
that's
what
our
insisted
we
do.
Also
they
don't
they
don't
like
the
idea
of
somebody
going
out
on
their
own
and
pushing
this.
AY
AY
AY
AI
AW
Do
want
to
thank
alderman
Fleming
for
taking
taking
the
lead
on
this,
and
you
know:
I
know
that
you
did
reach
out
to
us
to
all
of
us
and
we
had
some
excellent
conversations.
I
know
that
an
ongoing
basis,
I've
learned
a
lot
and
I
appreciate
I
appreciate
that
collaborative
efforts,
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
these
next
steps
that
we
can
take
to
to
really
make
tangible
progress.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Thank
you.
Alderman.
AX
And
Thank
You
alderman
Fleming
for
the
resolution
and
for
your
statement
as
well
I
think
it
was.
It
was
helpful
for
everyone
to
hear
that
I
am
the
council
liaison
and
the
equity
and
empowerment,
Commission
and
I
want
everyone
in
the
public
to
note
that
we
have
been
meeting
for
over
a
year
and
a
half
working
on
these
issues,
and
we
will
continue
to
work
on
them
and
do
want
to.
We
have
a
number
of
things
underway
and
we
want
as
many
people
to
come
to
our
meetings
as
possible
and
they're
open.
AX
AZ
You
mr.
mayor
aldermen
Fleming,
thank
you
for
your
statement.
I
think
that
was
very.
It
was
very
helpful
for
you
to
explain
not
only
the
document
but
where
you
were
coming
from
on
it
and
and
I'm
going
to
support
it.
You
and
I
have
had
conversations
about
this
I've
been
concerned
about
some
of
the
language
that
especially
the
language
didn't
point
to
I.
AZ
Think
the
work
that
that
many
hundreds,
if
not
thousands,
of
people,
have
done
over
the
past
decades
to
not
only
recognize
the
the
structural
problem,
but
also
to
address
it
and
those
those
steps
were
really
important
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
was
involved
in
that,
but
obviously
it's
it's
it's
never
enough
and
I
can't
remember
which
one
of
the
speakers
tonight
said
this.
But
this
is
an
ongoing
process
that
will
never
end
and
never
should
end.
We
should
never
this
it's
a
dynamic,
important
conversation
that
we
will
have
in
evanston
forever.
AZ
I
do
I
do
want
to
just
say
that
I
hope
that
we
can
have
an
additional
conversation
that
equity
and
empowerment,
Commission
I,
don't
want
people
to
leave
with
the
notion
that
that
people
don't
care
or
haven't,
been
working
on
this,
because
I
mean
not
only
people
I
know,
but
historically,
people
have-
and
this
is
probably
the
most
important
issue
that
we
have
in
evanston.
Like
said
that
in
conversation
with
one
of
my
colleagues
is
afternoon,
this
is
the
most
important
conversation
that
we
can
have
and
deserves
our
full
attention.
AZ
I'm,
a
researcher,
it's
important
to
me,
the
things
that
words
matter
and
that
history
matters
and
that
things
are
presented
correctly
and
appropriately
a
lot
of
this.
The
conversation
that
we
have
is
going
to
be
setting
the
record
straight
and
I
will
be
asking
I
want
that.
Frankly,
I
want
to
go
back
and
look
at
the
history
of
City
Council's
I
I
want
to
I
want
to
look
at
that.
I
never
have
before,
and
I
want
to
do
that
now.
AZ
It
can't
be
us
if
it
if
it
had
been
just
me
I
think
I
probably
would
have
started
an
equity
and
empowerment,
but
I
do
think
that
it's
a
step
on
the
gas
for
Alderman
Fleming
to
have
brought
this
to
our
attention
in
the
way
that
she
did
and
and
put
it
on
the
front
burner.
So
I
I,
understand
that
and
she
and
I
have
talked
about
this.
What
two
or
three
times
and.
AZ
And
I
value
that
I
mean
I
valued
the
activist
role
in
in
our
community,
so
I
just
wanted
everyone
to
make
sure
that
they
know
that
I
consider
this
to
be
not
only
a
continuation
of
the
of
the
discussion
but,
more
importantly,
jump-starting.
The
discussion
so
want
to
thank
everybody
who
serves
on
the
equity
and
empowerment.
Commission
I
want
to
thank
alderman
Fleming
as
well
and
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
with
whom
I've
had
many
discussions
about
this.
AZ
AT
You
mayor
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
auto
in
Fleming
for
your
careful
attention
and
your
diligence
in
racial
equity
and
how
you've
pushed
the
broader
community
us
on
council,
as
well
as
others,
to
be
more
informed
and
educated
and
aware.
So,
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
There
I'm
looking
forward
to
doing
the
work
now
creating
a
plan
and
a
path
forward
that
helps
us
reduce
the
gap.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
AV
You
Miss
Marron,
so
many
comments
have
been
said,
also
joining
the
crowd
of
applause
and
say.
Thank
you
very
much.
Alden
Fleming
as
well
I
appreciate
the
community
comments.
I
think
race
is
probably
the
most
important
and
difficult
issue
that
we
will
face
as
a
council,
as
it
just
permeates
every
single
issue
that
we
talk
about
so
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
the
conversation
continuing
at
the
equity
empowerment
committee,
I
think
the
mayor,
you
have
really
appointed
some
really
good
committed
people
in
a
very
diverse
committee.
That
I
think
will
be
able
to
facilitate
these
conversations.
AV
That
will
also
turn
into
action.
I.
Think
two
weeks
ago,
I
participated
myself
in
Holloman
Fleming
out
up
on
a
conference
call
with
alderman,
Simmons
and
I
know
that
you
have
also
prepared
some
reparations
or
two
to
travel
alongside
with
this.
So
for
those
that
were
critical,
asking
for
action,
steps
there's
definitely
more
to
come
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
being
part
of
it.
So
let's
call
the
vote.
BA
This
evening,
I
can
tell
from
the
final
version
of
the
resolution
that
you've
talked
a
lot
with
all
of
us
to
make
many
revisions
to
bring
it
to
the
forum
that
we're
finally
seeing
this
evening,
I
I,
don't
want
to
say
looking
forward
to
the
work
ahead,
but
very
much
appreciating
that
we
need
to
do
this
and
it
is
tonight
just
a
beginning
and
I'm
hopeful
that
in
two
years
time
we'll
be
much
further
along
on
the
path.
Great.
A
All
right,
I
just
want
to
thank
alderman
Fleming
as
well.
She
put
a
lot
a
lot
of
work
into
this
and
I
do
want
to
make
sure
I
reiterate
something
that
she
said.
We
had
a
meeting.
You
know
two
weeks
ago
where
we
talked
about
another
item.
That
was
a
special
order
of
business.
Here
there
were
people
that
were
upset
with
the
decision
of
the
council,
yet
that
was
sort
of
a
routine
thing
that
we
do
where
we
put
special
orders
of
business.
Just
like
we
have
here
tonight.
A
I,
don't
want
anyone
to
think
that
there
was
a
cover-up
going
on
that.
The
reason
that
we're
talking
about
this
ordinance
or
this
resolution
tonight
is
because
of
what
happened
two
weeks
ago.
That's
just
not
true,
and
you
could
FOIA
a
bunch
of
emails
and
everything
else
that
you'd
see
this
conversation
was
going
on
long
before
two
weeks
ago.
It
has
been
something
that
ultimately,
funding
has
been
working
on
and
I
just
want
to.
I
just
want
to
share
that.
So
let's
go
ahead
and
take
the
role
les
city
clerk.

Yes,
this
is,
as
we
heard
from
many
people
who
spoke
tonight.
This
would
be
the
third
extension
to
this
developer
regarding
the
property
at
seventeen
fourteen
to
seventeen,
twenty
Chicago

and
there
to
my
understanding,
have
been
no
changes
at
all
in
the
presentations
that
have
been
made
and
I.
Think
that
extending
this
for
another
the
third
time
period.
But
it
really
would
be
fruitless
and
I,
don't
see
that
there
should.
There
is
a
purpose
to
this
and
so
I'm
requesting
that
we
hold
this
matter
and
that
we
look
at
two
other
possible
interested
parties.

Golf-Related
revenues
cover
only
60
percent
of
canal
shores
expenses
and
for
the
last
several
years,
the
proceeds
from
northwestern
tailgating
have
enabled
canal
shores
to
achieve
and
maintain
financial
stability,
but
under
the
settlement
with
MW
Rd
that
we're
going
to
be
voting
on
in
a
few
minutes
and
northwestern
will
now
be
arranging
for
its
tailgating
for
the
2019
football
season
directly
with
MWR
D
and
therefore
Canal
Shores
will
no
longer
be
receiving
that
revenue
for
the
tailgating.
This
is
going
to
be
a
$90,000
hole
in
Canal
Shores
2019
budget.
BA
Also,
the
permit
for
the
space
concerts
under
this
agreement
is
going
to
the
permits
going
to
be
with
the
city
of
Evanston,
and
this
is
another
ten
thousand
dollars
out
of
the
canal.
Shores
budget
for
2019,
so
canal
shores
is
really
not
at
all
in
a
position
to
come
up
with
the
funds
that
are
required.
That
MW
Rd
is
requiring
in
order
to
move
ahead
on
May
20th
June
20th
at
its
next
board
meeting
to
approve
the
various
permits
and
issues
that
are
being
resolved
with
this
motion
tonight.
BA
In
light
of
its
you
know,
serious
cashflow
problem
is
asking
that
the
annual
payment
begin
and
be
on
June
30th
of
2020
and
on
June
30th
every
year
after
that,
as
opposed
to
January
30th,
where
when
it
would
be
still
having
very
serious
financial
difficulties
because
of
its
difficult
2019
budget,
so
I
so
I
move
this
amendment
and
then
just
finally
I
think
this
is
a
really
fair
investment
by
on
the
part
of
the
city
to
support
a
nonprofit.
That's
really
been
contributing
so
much
to
the
Evanston
community
for
a
hundred
years.
Thank.

Under
beardie
is
that
the
question
okay
good
good
evening,
Michelle
Mason,
Cup,
City,
Attorney,
aldermen,
Fisk
I,
don't
know
where
my
little
foam
part
one,
but
you
guys
can
hear
me
so
in
terms
of
potential
litigation.
It
would
come
from
our
landlord
because
they
have
called
us
formally
into
default,
and
so,
if
the
city
can't
as
the
tenant
cure
the
default,
we
can't
move
forward
and
they
would
what
they
could
sue
us
and
demand.
The
full
amount
that
is
listed
in
the
memo.
AU
AU
We
have
lots
of
nonprofits
to
do
lots
of
great
work,
and
even
though
this
is
a
particular
thing
with
the
lease
and
the
sublease
and
all
that
I
am
frustrated
that
I'm
not
sure
how
we've
been
doing
this
operation
for
so
long
and
all
of
a
sudden.
We
we're
not
doing
it
right,
I
mean
I,
remember,
I,
think
twice
I've
been
here,
we
voted
on
Northwestern
Park
in
there
and
you
know
so:
I
don't
know
the
particulars
of
where
the
ball
was
dropped
so
to
speak.
AU
But
I
know
that
on
Saturday
morning
at
my
ward
meeting,
I'll
have
a
hard
time
explaining
to
taxpayers
who
are
complaining
about
increased
parking
fees
and
everything
else
that
we
are
loaning.
This
money
to
Canal
shores
and
and
so
I
just
want
to
be
really
clear
on
the
record.
I
understand
about
the
lawsuit
that
isn't
that,
where
I
want
us
to
go
but
I
also
have
a
talk,
text
body
text,
making
citizens
who
I
need
to
be
respectful
of
all.
B
A
Right,
a
nine
resolution:
60
aye
19
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
amend
the
lease
agreement
of
the
Metropolitan
Water
Reclamation
District
of
the
Greater
Chicago
to
permit
alcohol,
sale
and
consumption
to

course,
property
consent
to
a
permit
for
the
northwestern
parking
and
tailgating
events
for
the
19th
2019
season.
Issue.
Payment
to
MWR
d
for
alleged
unauthorized
uses
passes
the
Evanston
City
Council
of
the
72
vote.
Okay,
alderman
suffering
can
take
a
stay
16,
a.
BB
AY
AY
The
proposal
that
we
have
before
us
for
Clarke
Street
real
estate
to
purchase
this
property
is
a
rather
unusual
one.
In
that
the
applicant
is
not
the
user.
Our
staff
and
the
council
should
not
have
allowed
for
that.
So
right
off
the
bat,
that's
our
fault.
Actually,
the
applicant
is
a
developer.
Who's
going
to
buy
the
property
I
have
never
supported
the
outright
sale
of
this
important
city-owned
building,
which
is
surrounded
by
our
largest
city
park
and
is
adjacent
to
the
city-owned
Animal
Shelter.
AY
If
the
property
were
to
sell,
it
is
projected
to
generate
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
property
taxes
a
year.
The
city's
current
percentage
of
the
property
tax
bill
is
about
16%,
which
yields
sixteen
thousand
dollars
to
the
city.
This
is
not
a
commercial
building.
By
the
way,
this
is
a
city-owned
industrial
building
that
has
never
been
empty.
Since
the
recycling
use
was
terminated
for
years,
it
served
as
a
storage
facility
for
the
city
if
it
has
to
be
vacated.
AY
As
the
result
of
a
sale
to
Clark
Street
developers
or
to
anybody
else,
we
must
relocate
and
find
30,000
square
feet
of
storage
space.
We
have
been
searching
for
that
space.
Just
in
case
Evanston
has
been
ruled
out.
As
no
such
space
of
that
kind
exists.
Spaces
have
been
found
in
Skokie
and
Lincoln
wood.
We've
identified
some
reasonably
priced
sites
in
those
areas
with
rates
less
the
taxes,
because
we're
tax
exempt
of
five
to
six
dollars
a
square
foot.
The
Clark
Street
real
estate
has
has
a
moneymaker
here
for
the
first
ascent
climbing
wall
tenant.
AY
That's
going
to
be
the
city
of
Evanston's,
big
loser.
Why?
Because
there's
no
revenue
generated
for
the
city
by
rock
by
a
rock
climbing
operator,
you
have
little
if
any,
sales
tax,
no
liquor
tax,
no
tax
on
rent,
no
membership
tax,
no
birthday
party
tax,
virtually
no
additional
revenue
other
than
the
property
tax
of
sixteen
thousand
a
year.
So
let's
take
that
sixteen
thousand
in
real
estate
tax
and
the
replacement
storage
facility
or
facilities
we
locate
at
let's
say
five
and
a
half
dollars
a
square
foot.
AY
That's
going
to
run
us
about
a
hundred
and
sixty-five
thousand
a
year,
the
sixteen
thousand
equals
a
total
cost
to
the
city
of
a
hundred
and
forty
nine
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
storage
space.
So
I
guess
to
answer
the
question
of
Alvin
Rainey.
You
couldn't
possibly
be
upset
about
a
climbing
wall,
no
I'm,
not
I'm.
This
is
a
business
issue
here,
so
the
first
ascent
tenant
that
would
be
going
in
it's
going
to
cost
us
a
hundred
and
forty
nine
thousand
a
year.
That
makes
no
sense
whatsoever.
AY
We
sell
this
property,
it's
a
lose-lose,
completely
right
off
the
bat
for
the
city
of
Evanston
and
it's
a
big
win-win,
I
guess
for
the
Clark
Street
real
estate
and
for
one
of
the
persons
who
Puck
tonight
she
wants
to
light
up
McCormick
and
live
in
McCormick
and
Dodge.
We
don't
need
any
more
liven
it
up
and
the
core
of
McCormick
or
Dodge
I
received
mail
from
people
who
say:
I'm
I've
had
five
letters
from
people
with
children
who
need
a
rock
climbing
facility.
AY
One
has
accused
me
of
being
in
favor
of
obesity,
which
I
am
NOT
and
the
others
their
their
children
are
just
going
to
be
without
a
life
if
they
don't
have
a
rock
climbing
facility.
Others
who
came
here
tonight
are
going
to
leave
their
facility
in
Evanston
I,
don't
want
to
cannibalize
those
other
facilities
in
Evanston.
There
are
rock
climbing
facilities
around
I.
Don't
see
that
this
adds
anything
to
Evanston
and
it's
going
to
cost
us
I.
Don't
want
this
building
to
be
sold
I,
don't
think
it
should
be
sold.
AY
I
heard
Alderman
Fleming
talk
tonight
about
giving
a
little
loan
to
the
golf
course.
I.
Don't
know
how
she's
going
to
explain
this
to
the
people
across
the
street,
which
are
those
in
her
ward.
This
is
real
money
and
it's
going
to
be
every
single
year.
If
they
stay
I,
don't
think
I
don't
think
we
can
be
stewards
of
this
city
and
sell
this
building.
Once
we
sell
this
building,
that's
it.
It's
gone
forever
gone
forever,
40,000
square
feet,
13,000
and
the
building
itself
lose
lose.
Don't
vote
for
this.
Please
please
don't
vote
for
this.
AY
A
AZ
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
so
I've
had
several
enquiries
about
this
via
email
and
I
thought.
The
the
email
and
explanation
that
we
received
from
Dave
stone
BEC
about
what
our
storage
needs
for
that
we've
been
using
at
the
recycling
center
really
are,
and
I
was
actually
stunned
by
that
I
thought.
Oh,
my
gosh
I
had
I
really
had
no
idea
what
we
were
using
the
building
for
and
how
much
storage
we
needed
and
that
we
would
have
to
relocate
out
of
that
facility.
So
I'm
concerned
I
mean
I
love.
AV
AZ
I
am
joking,
I
am
joking,
but
yeah
I.
You
know
what,
when,
when
the
Housing
Authority
of
Cook
County
was
here
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
and
they
talked
about
the
building
that
they
they
feel
they
need
to
build
in
order
to
make
the
numbers
work
for
them.
At
the
corner
of
Emerson
and
Sherman
I,
remember
saying
to
my
colleagues
on
the
council
that
I
really
appreciated
the
clear
way
that
they
delineate
the
numbers
and
I
asked
our
staff.
AZ
Aren't
there
and
I
think
thank
you,
alder
and
rainy
for
the
statement
that
you
made,
but
I've
I've
added
up
that
myself
and
I
can't
I
can't
justify
that.
I
would
love
if
we
could
find
another
place
for
the
the
rock-climbing
wall,
because
I
do
think
that
adds
something
to
our
community,
but
I.
Don't
think
this
is
the
place
right
now
it
just.
It
doesn't
make
sense
that
we
would
be
spending
money
to
rent
space
that
we
already
have
available
to
us.
So
I
hope
some
of
you
can
enlighten
me
on
that.
AW
Alderman
Wilson,
well,
you
know
and
I
think
that
the
property
has
been
used
for
storage
for
as
long
as
I
can
remember.
So
it's
it's
not
anything
new
and
we've
gone
through
multiple
processes.
Here
we
are
at
the
tail
end
of
a
somewhat
lengthy
process.
We
issued
the
RFP.
We
asked
for
these
people
to
come
and
come
up
with
a
quality
proposal
which
I
think
they've
done.
So
my
hope
and
expectation
that
that
we
will
follow
through
we've
made
a
commitment.
We've
made
a
commitment.
We
said
we
want
somebody
to
do
this.
AW
The
the
storage
should
not
come
as
a
surprise.
Anybody
who's
been
you
know,
driven
by
you,
can
see
all
the
stuff
that's
there.
So
obviously
we
would
need
some
sort
of
alternative
location
for
that,
but
there
is
a
sale
price.
The
we're
not
doing
this
for
the
sale
for
the
our
share,
the
property
taxes,
but
you
know
certainly
having
it
on
the
tax.
Rolls
is
a
useful
thing
for
ourselves
in
the
other,
taxing
bodies,
so
I
hope
that
we
will
can
complete
this
transaction
and
I
move
along.
Thank
you
thank.
A
You
you
know
the
I'm
gonna
allow
the
developer
to
to
come
up
and
I.
Must
you
don't
want
to
you
wrote
me
earlier
and
I
said.
I
would
allow
this,
because
it's
been
a
long
time
since
people
up
here
have
heard
about
this
sort
of
project
project
but
I'd,
like
you
guys
to
get
this
wrapped
up
in
like
five
fine,
no
more
than
five
minutes
so.
BD
BE
Mr.
mayor
aldermen
again,
my
name
is
John
Sheppard
I'm
with
first
descent,
I'm
one
of
the
founders
and
Joe
is
my
business
partner
and
co-founder
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
it
talked
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
other
benefits
that
we
bring
some
of
the
qualitative
benefits
the
first
descent
brings
and
try-
and
just
you
know,
you've
heard
from
a
lot
of
our
customers
and
families
and
people
who
climb
from
the
Evanson
community
and
I.
BE
Don't
want
to
repeat
other
things
you
already
heard,
but
I
want
to
just
talk
about
some
of
the
things
that
we
are
excited
to
bring
and
in
hopes
of
helping
make
you
excited
about
why
first
ascent
would
be
a
great
fit
at
2222.
Oakton
first
ascent
acts
as
a
anchor
as
a
community
anchor.
We
bring
across
our
facilities
in
Chicago,
now
thousand
people
a
day
and
we're
projecting
around
300
a
day
at
Evanston.
BE
And
what
that
means
is
you
know,
I
know
we
don't
do
like
food
and
liquor
sales,
but
we
do
create
a
lot
of
really
hungry
and
thirsty
people.
You've
heard
from
some
of
our
customers
that,
after
a
couple
hours
of
climbing-
and
they
are
average
customer
climbs
to
do
a
few
times
a
week,
they
love
to
go
out
to
local
restaurants
and
breweries
and
enjoy
the
local
fair
and
we,
you
know
we
are
as
small
local
business
owners
in
Chicago.
We
love
supporting
that
and
we'd
love
to
bring
that
to
Evanston.
I.
BE
Think
another
thing
that
you
heard
that's
really
unique
about.
What
we
do
is
we're
not
just
a
fitness
gym.
There's
there's
nothing
like
what
we
do
in
Evanston
right
now.
We
do
have
Fitness,
but
we're
a
social
space,
we're
a
community
space
people
bring
their
laptops
and
they
work
in
the
gym
they
climb.
Together.
People
make
plans
to
go
to
dinner
afterward
the
average
customer
stays
in
a
facility
two
to
three
hours,
sometimes
more.
It's
a
social
space.
BE
This
is
a
third
place
where
people
actually
love
to
hang
out
they're,
not
just
running
on
the
treadmill
and
then
going
home
after
30
minutes,
people
hang
out,
they
hang
out
with
their
kids.
Families
come
in
people
meet
new
people
and
they're
inspired
by
other
people.
Kind
of
learning
to
do
an
alternative
sport,
not
everyone
identifies
with
baseball
and
soccer
and
we
bring
something.
That's
a
unique
growing,
exciting
activity
to
Evanson.
Can
you
advance
the
slide?
Please.
BE
So
you
know
we
talked
about
being
local
business
owners.
We
also
are
passionate
about
passionate
about
supporting
local
business.
I'm,
not
gonna,
run
through
everything
on
here,
but
we
do
food
truck
Fridays.
We
support
and
purchase
food
on
our
own
dollar
to
bring
it
in
for
our
members
and
customers.
We
always
are
supporting
local
restaurants.
We
support
local
breweries.
We
do
movie
events
for
minority
produced
film
and
when
we
do
that
we
bring
in
food
from
local
restaurants.
We
brought
in
food
from
honey
butter,
Fried
Chicken.
We
brought
in
beer
from
alarmists
brewing.
BE
We
do
holiday
markets
where
we
feature
goods
and
butt
products
from
local
good
menu
like
product
manufacturers
and
like
clothing
and
door,
clothing
and
shoes
and
all
kinds
of
things
like
that.
You
can
advance
the
slide
and,
aside
from
the
just
the
business
support
of
local
business,
we
also
are
really
passionate
about
being
involved
in
our
community
first
ascent.
As
I
mentioned,
we
do.
We've
supported
film
screenings
on
a
regular
basis
to
tell
stories
about
minority
groups
and
the
outdoors.
It's
you
see
the
bottom
bullet
here.
BE
We
actually
do
sending
in
color
event
where
we
host
people
of
color
climbing
on
a
regular
basis
and
actually
offer
free
climbing
for
anyone
who
can't
afford
it.
During
the
event
we
do
women
crush
Wednesday,
which
is
our
fun
name.
For
you
know
a
weekly
climbing
group
where
we
hire
a
personal
trainer,
our
own
dollar
come
in
and
support
fitness
for
people
who
want
to
connect
with
other
women
in
climb
and
I,
won't
say
anything
more
about
our
benefits.
BE
I
think
you've
got
a
lot
of
that
from
our
customers
talking
today,
but
I
will
say
that
andis
gonna
speak
to
some
of
the
economic
benefits
of
this
deal,
and
you
know
the
reason
that
we,
as
a
small,
locally
owned
company
of
teaming
with
Clark
Street,
is
that
we're
we're
climbing
gym
operators.
We,
you
know
how
to
run
climbing
gyms.
BE
We
know
how
to
get
people
excited
about
climbing
and
we
know
how
to
build
community
and
bring
in
food
trucks
and
beer,
but
we're
not
real
estate
experts
and
we
don't
own
or
develop
or
do
can
we
don't
do
our
own
real
estate
development
and
we
were
really
excited
to
team
with
a
developer
at
this
project,
because
it
was
a
great
way
to
get
into
the
Edinson
community
and
to
grow
as
a
small
business
here.
So
I'll
leave
it
to
Andy.
BD
BD
That's
20
over
21
percent
over
the
city's
appraised
value
from
the
cities
of
from
this,
from
the
height
from
the
appraiser
that
the
city
hired
there
is
an
estimated
over
a
hundred
and
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
of
real
estate
set
at
real
estate
and
sales
tax
that
will
be
generated
from
this.
This
property.
In
addition,
an
additional
seventy
two
thousand
dollars
from
entitlement
fees
and
building
permits,
because
we
would
anticipate
going
through
the
planned
development
process.
Where's.
A
BD
That
is
why
the
the
number
is
smaller
but
I.
Think
as
as
Joan
as
Joe
and
John
have
said
tonight,
the
ancillary
spending
in
Evanston
would
be
I
think
very
substantial
over
a
10-year
period.
With
these
combined
deals
with
these
combined
factors,
it's
over
one
point:
six:
five
million
dollars
to
the
city
of
Evanston
over
a
10-year
period
in
comparison
to
the
other
deals
that
were
previously
made
with
smiley
brothers
were
both
by
peckish
pick.
This
is
an
over
21
percent,
the
better
deal
that
to
the
city
of
Evanston
than
what
was
previously
proposed.
BD
An
agreed
upon.
The
other
thing
that
I
would
offer
is
that
if
we
did
have
a
conversation
with
mr.
stone
Becker
late
last
week
in
regards
to
the
Public
Works
facility,
and
we,
since
we
are
real
estate
people,
we
would
offer
our
services
to
help
find
or
point
them
in
the
right
direction
outside
of
just
looking
at
coasts.
BD
Our
listings
of
what
is
available
and
help
with
site
planning
to
make
sure
that
we
can
facilitate
the
necessary
and
right
facility
and
how
those
facilities
can
work
for
the
different
things
that
are
stored
on
site,
that
both
need
to
be
temperature,
controlled
and
outside
in
the
yard
and
I
think
that,
with
our
real
estate
expertise
we
could,
we
would
we'd,
be
happy
to
offer
that.
Lastly,
we
have
no
ambitions
other
than
to
develop
this
property.
The
city
owns
the
property
on
all
three
sides.
BD
We
are
really
excited
about
the
opportunity
that
this
could
be
for
the
city
of
Evanston.
The
deal
structure
is
the
deal
structure,
because
it
works
for
bringing
first
in
class
developer
and
first
in
class
operator
to
bring
the
first
in
class
use
that
the
community
of
Evanston
can
enjoy
and
can
act
as
a
regional
anchor
for
this
and
for
this
part
for
this
community.
So
we
appreciate
your
time.
I
know
it's
been
a
very
long
evening.
Thank.
AY
AY
The
cost
is
still
going
to
be
around
five
to
six
dollars
a
square
foot
and
we're
still
going
to
need
that
kind
of
space
and
16,000
a
year
is
not
going
to
help
us
pay
for
it.
We
are
going
to
have
to
pay
more
than
we
are
going
to
make
from
this
project.
The
million
dollars
million
$1
million
$100,000
that
we're
going
to
make
from
this
building
is
not
going
to
go
to
pay
for
storage.
It's
just
not
gonna
happen
and
I
don't
see,
I
mean
how?
AY
How
does
anybody
who
can
multiply
subtract
divide
and
add
make
a
deal
like
this?
This
is
the
deal
of
the
century
for
Clark
Street
new
state.
You
know
gonna
get
what
forty
thousand
a
month
from
these
guys.
Of
course,
if
they
want
to
do
this
and
that
they're
going
to
have
little
minority
children
doing
rock
climbing
is
a
benefit.
That
is
a
reason
for
us
to
to
take
on
this
burden.
I.
Don't
think
so,
it
is
the
most
unequivocal
deal
for
taxpayers
in
this
city
that
I've
heard
of
the
people.
AY
People
are
going
to
go
and
buy
a
hamburger
at
our
restaurants.
How
many
times
you
have
to
hear
that
before
you
know
you're
being
taken
for
a
ride.
Of
course,
people
are
gonna
buy
hamburgers
in
our
town.
We
have
one
of
the
most
fun
cities.
We've
we've
got
all
sorts
of
awards
and
ribbons
that
we
have
a
great
fun
city,
I,
don't
think
they
have.
We
have
to
spend
this
kind
of
money
for
rock
climbing
to
have
people
come
to
our
city
and
buy
hamburgers.
AY
AY
AY
C
C
I
just
want
I
just
want
to
share
my
concern
that
this
is
a
real
cost
and,
while
I
think
the
economic
development
opportunities
here
are
important,
there
is
a
real
cost
of
historic
and
so
I
don't
want
anyone
to
think
that
the
staff
and
working
through
this
for
the
last
several
years
with
the
council
and
anyway
discounted
that
there
was
a
cost
for
storage.
But
it's
ultimately
the
council's
decision.
C
Does
the
active
use
on
the
property
outweigh
that
and
I,
just
as
your
city
manager
just
want
to
share
my
concern
that
yes,
we're
going
to
have
to
find
an
additional
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
a
budget
that
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
that
money.
But
if
you
feel
as
council
that
the
economic
activity
and
that
part
of
the
community
warrants
that,
then
we
will
be
diligent
and
we'll
make
it
work.
You
cannot.
AY
Deny
that
there
is
extreme
economic
activity
in
that
part
of
the
city
already
I
mean
cannot,
cannot
even
get
near
that
part
of
the
city
when
something
is
going
on
at
the
Dome
or
at
at
the
animal
shelter
or
across
the
street
right
now,
with
the
garden
center
going
across
the
street.
So
that
is
not
a
dead
part
of
the
city
and
I.
Think
people
being
active
inside
the
the
recycling
center
does
not
make
it
an
active
part
of
the
city.
The
smiley
brothers
thing
would
have
been
an
active
thing.
AY
The
event
center
would
have
been
an
active
thing,
but
the
sports,
the
the
recycling
climbing
thing
would
have
been
an
inside
thing.
So
what
we're
talking?
Let's
don't
even
talk
about
what
the
activity
the
use
is.
This
is
going
to
be
an
expensive
proposition.
It
is
a
bad
business
decision,
it's
a
bad
business
decision
and
if
you
want
to
make
it
go
ahead,
but
don't
blame
me,
it's
costing
us
103
about
a
hundred
and
forty
plus
thousand
dollars
a
year.
If
you
sell
this
building,
not
only
that,
but
you
are
losing
a
major
city
facility.
AU
I
guess
so:
I
have
some
frustrations
right,
so
we've
gone
out.
The
RFP
we've
gone
through
the
process
with
a
Clark
Street
business
people.
You
know,
we've
done
all
this
I
live
near.
There
I
see
the
trucks
outside
the
buses
outside
I'm,
not
in
the
building
to
know
each
particular
piece
of
equipment
that
is
in
the
building.
You
know
we
didn't
build
it
for
storage
I,
guess
that
was
just
happenstance
once
it
was
empty.
So
I
guess
my
frustration
lies
in
that
here
we
are
at
the
midnight
hour,
I
feel
like
again
as
a
city.
AU
We
have
gone
out
to
say:
hey,
let's
look
at
this,
go
through
our
processes,
we're
interested
in
you
know,
selling
this
or
doing
this
or
that
and
then
I'm
not
sure
why
we
don't
get
this
kind
of
information.
So
again,
I
mean
if
Harmon
Rainey
has
gone
out
and
done
on
some
investigation
about
what
it's
gonna
cost
a
story:
I'm
not
gonna,
do
that
right,
I,
but
I
am
going
to
depend
on
our
staff
to
do
that
right
so
that
part
of
the
information
that
I
get
to
make
my
decision
this.
AU
This
is
this
deal,
but
this
is,
you
know
the
other
side
of
the
deal.
You
know
these
are
the
pros
users
or
cons
whatever
you
want
to
mask
it
as,
and
so
this
you
know,
I
I,
think
it's
just
my
frustration
sitting
here
now
I'm
prepared
to
vote
to
support
these
people,
but
then
you
know,
ottoman
Rainey
obviously
brings
up
a
point.
The
city
manager
now
is
saying
you
know
there
is
a
cost
to
this.
We
don't
know
we're
going
to
do
where.
AU
Maybe
that
was
information
we
should
have
discussed
before
going
to
RFP
to
say
if
we
sell
this
building.
That
means
we
have
this
cost
of
storage.
I
know
that
the
south
standby
areas
in
my
ward,
I,
don't
necessarily
know
it's
there
either,
but
I
was
told.
That's
some
storage.
Have
we
looked
into
putting
some
things
there?
That's
a
city-owned
space.
Have
we
looked
at
building?
You
know
something
on
another
city
lot
that
we
can
store.
Some
things
need
to
go
inside
I.
AU
Just
you
know:
I'm
frustrated
for
the
developer,
who's
gone
through
all
this
now
and
now
we're
having
a
you
know
we're
essentially
having
a
conversation
about
what
makes
economic
sense,
which
is
very
important
but
should
have
been
part
of
our
process
before
we
got
to
10:30
on
the
second
night
of
these
developers
being
here
and
I'm,
you
know
really
10.
My
opinion
should
not
be
the
Alderman's
job
to
go
out
and
investigate
well,
I
didn't
know
what
the
storage
cost
nothing.
AU
AU
C
The
council
has
looked
at
this
property
and
I
think,
rightfully
so
to
say
that
there's
a
higher
better
use
for
the
property
than
the
storage
of
facilities
of
our
equipment,
we've
had
discussions,
we've
had
a
variety
of
different
uses
proposed
and
I.
Don't
think
it
was
the
staffs
role
to
say:
stop
wait
a
second,
don't
think
about
how
to
make
this
property
higher
and
better
use.
C
It's
just
not
the
role
staff
to
tie
the
hands
of
the
City
Council
to
do
it
it's
ultimately,
your
decision
to
weigh
is
the
active
use,
they're,
more
important
than
storage,
and
if
it
is,
we
will
make
the
most
of
it.
We've
had
various
options
proposed,
some
of
which
would
generate
more
income
for
the
city
directly
and
indirectly
than
others.
C
It's
a
bad
location
for
storage.
No
one
I,
don't
think
anyone
can
say
that
the
highest
and
best
use
for
this
property
is
storage.
Hence
the
reason
the
council
has
spent
the
amount
of
time,
energy
and
effort
it
has
on
this.
The
proposal
you
have
before
you
is
a
good
use,
I,
don't
think.
There's
anyone
questioning
the
use,
but
it's
ultimately
a
policy
decision
for
the
council.
If
you
are
going
to
move
forward
and
activate
this
property
at
a
much
higher
and
better
use,
there
is
a
cost,
there's
a
cost
to
everything
that
we
do.
C
AY
AX
C
So
and
so
as
we
look
at
the
city
as
a
forever
thing,
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
do
something
different
with
this
space.
I
need
to
just
raise
the
issue
with
you
that
this
Denby
there's
just
another
challenge
with
that.
But,
ladies
and
gentlemen
of
the
City
Council,
you
deal
with
challenges
every
single
week
that
you're
here
ultimately
to
make
this
community
a
better
place
bottom
line.
This
is
a
bad
use
for
storage.
C
If
you
believe
this
is
the
right
use,
moving
forward,
we'll
make
it
work,
but
my
obligation
to
you
is
not
to
sit
here
silently
sit
on
my
hands
and
not
say
that
that
is
an
issue
I'm
glad
that
the
questions
have
been
asked.
It's
a
bad
use
for
storage
I
would
encourage
you
to
seriously
consider
this,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
my
job
to
tell
you
that
there's
going
to
be
a
cost
and
we
need
to
deal
with
it.
I
don't
want
to
see
this
continuous
storage,
that's
wrong
for
Evanston.
AW
Know
it's
it's
been
a
really
long
time
and
it
has,
and-
and
you
know
the
baseball
club
wasn't
good
enough.
The
soccer
team
wasn't
good
enough.
The
you
know
it's
it's
on
and
on
and
on
we've
gone
through
a
process
that
we
invited
people
to
participate
in.
This
is
not
a
surprise.
It's
not
an
appropriate
building
for
storage,
sure
the
storage
is
gonna
cost
something,
but
it's
time
to
do
something
great
with
this
property,
it's
next
to
a
sports
campus.
It
makes
all
the
sense
in
the
world.
This
is
completely
logical.
AW
We
have
a
lot
of
people
in
the
community
that
are
excited
about
this.
That's
awesome.
We
should
be
really
happy
to
have
this
kind
of
an
opportunity,
they're
paying
money
for
it
and
it's
time
to
close
the
deal
otherwise,
and
you
don't
always
get
to
pick
like
some
things
happen.
It's
not
my
favorite
thing
when
it
was
a
different
proposal.
I
mean
rainy.
You
were
pretty
good
with
a
different
proposal,
but
that
one
didn't
go.
AY
AW
AZ
Thank
you,
mister
I'm.
I!
Don't
want
to
get
in
that
argument.
That
was
just
going
on
the
the
point
that
I
was
trying
to
make
that
alderman
Fleming
made
is
I,
think
something
that's
really
important.
I
I,
don't
remember
talking
about
this
Wally
when
we
went
out
for
the
RFP
and
that's
it's
information
that
would
have
been
really
really
helpful
because
we
could
have
addressed
it
at
that
time.
I!
Don't
think
it's
fair
to
everybody
to
be
sitting
here
and
talking
about
it
now,
but
it's
not
our
fault.
I
mean
this.
AZ
Is
this
we're
making
a
decision?
I?
Don't
what
you
say:
it's
not
appropriate
for
storage
I,
don't
know
what
is
I,
don't
even
know
where
you're
looking
apparently
there's
nowhere
else
in
Evanston,
so
I
mean
going
to
Skokie,
or
is
that
more
appropriate
for
storage?
I?
Just
don't
know,
but
the
point
is
that
this
all
should
have
been
discussed
at
the
time,
because
it's
not
fair
to
everybody
not
to
go
out
for
an
RFP
and
leave
these
questions
unasked
and
unanswered.
C
Again,
members
of
the
council,
these
issues
haven't
always
been
there.
We've
always
had
to
replace
the
storage
and
I
think
the
the
question
has
been.
What
is
the
trade-off,
but
we
have
to
move
forward
and
have
to
use
this
facility
if
this
is
the
use
that
makes
the
sense
most
sense.
I
encourage
you
to
move
forward
with
it,
but
again
everything
we
do
has
a
cost.
I
wish
it
didn't,
but
it
does.
C
I
would
much
rather
use
up
property
in
another
jurisdiction
to
store
snow
plow
blades
than
have
again
another
act
of
use
taken
up
somewhere
in
Evanston
with
store
just
know,
claw
blades,
but
the
costs
are
real
and
we've
been
talking,
we've
not
put
a
point
on
them
and
I
take
full
responsibility
for
for
not
having
a
specific
dollar
amount,
but
from
the
moment
we
started
talking
about
this
facility.
The
reality
was:
is
there
was
equipment
there?
C
A
U
AV
AT
Thank
You
mayor
I
would
like
to
add
my
condolences
to
the
family
of
Leon
Robinson,
just
a
giant

community.
Someone
that
is
inspired
has
inspired
everyone
and
someone
that
I
will
miss
the
the
time
that
I've
been
on
council.
Mr.
Robinson,
whether
he
were
here
in
Florida,
has
called
me
to
check
in
on
the
state
of
the
ward
in
offer.
Encouragement
and
direction,
and
I
will
certainly
miss
that
and
continue
prayers
for
the
family.

referred
to
the
committee
a
couple
weeks
ago.
Thank
you,
Thank.
BB
I,
just
like
say,
I
haven't
gotten
a
lot
of
complaints
about
the
condition
of
the
parks
and
the
sixth
Lord
and
I
would
encourage
the
city
manager,
administration,
Public,
Works,
to
make
sure
I
don't
wait
a
mo
when
the
walk
when
the
grounds
wet,
because
that's
how
it's
gonna
be
for
a
while.
So
it's
a
it's
an
issue
that
affects
quality
of
life
and
if
we
don't
have
proper
equipment,
then
I'd
like
to
make
a
reference
to
administration.
BA
Have
two
items
one
is
to
express
my
thanks
to
the
northwestern
athletic
department:
there
they
have
their
annual
community
outreach
day
on
Friday
last
week.
This
is
the
eighth
annual
eighth
time.
They've
done
this.
They
all
the
coaches
and
the
staff
go
out
to
locations
around
the
community,
and
this
year
they
went
to
nine
locations,
the
e
th
s,
geometry
and
construction
house
connections
for
the
homeless,
Clark,
Street
bird
sanctuary,
the
talking
farm,
the
Marian
family
focus,
infant
welfare
society,
Learning
bridge
and
Canal
Shores
golf
course
were
they.
BA
It
was
just
finalized,
as
we
were
starting
our
council
meeting,
we're
going
to
have
a
community
meeting
Tuesday
June
25th
at
6
p.m.
at
the
Welsh
Ryan
arena,
Wilson
Club.
This
is
going
to
be
a
discussion
with
Northwestern
representatives
about
their
proposal
to
expand
the
types
of
uses
to
be
allowed
at
Walsh
Ryan
arena
they'd
like
to
see
them
to
include
professional
sports
and
commercial
events,
and
this
proposal
is
going
to
the
Plan
Commission
at
its
meeting
on
July
10th.
AU
I
want
to
thank
the
numerous
nyeport
residence
who
came
out,
many
of
which
I
actually
had
not
met
yet
so,
if
you're
still
paying
attention,
please
plan
to
come
out
well,
please
plan
to
get
involved
in
the
community,
but
also
come
out
to
a
warm
meeting
that
we
are
having
I'm
having
on
Saturday
morning.
9:00
a.m.

takes
place.
This
one
will
be
at
Reba

church,
which
is
at

can
enter
on
Chicago
I
mean
excuse
me
on
the
South
Boulevard
or
on
custard.
AU
AZ
Thank
You
mr.
Merrick
I've
been
getting
a
lot
of
phone
calls
from
people
who
have
been
asking
about
the
dog
beach
and
so
I
want
to
make
a
reference
to
I'm,
not
sure
whether
it's
human
services
or
a
and
P
W,
but
I
would
like
to
know
edits
and
its
most
profitable.
How
much
money
we
were
making
from
the
dog
beach.
How
many
families
were
had
animals
going
to
the
dog
beach?
So
what?
AZ
What
segments
of
the
community
in
terms
of
households
were
we
serving
there
and
whether
Lincoln
Street
Beach
is
a
new?
Is
a
appropriate
appropriate
place
for
the
the
dog
beach
I
understand
that
this
is
something
I
spoke
with
the
city
manager
about
this.
At
one
point
that
we
need
to
clear
with
the
Illinois
Department
of
Health
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
that
before
our
next
meeting,
because
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
we're
prepared
no
later
than
next
year
to
reestablish
a
dog
beach
in
Evanston
almond.
C
AV
Thank
You

also
like
to
join
in
and
send
out
a
prayers
and
condolences
to
the
family

officer.
Leon
Robinson.
His
social
impact
will
be
missed.
He

a
business
giant
in
this
town
and
helped
many
many
many
of
families
in
this
community,
so
prayers

out

an
awesome
event,

It
was
very
well
attended
that
same

I
had
an
opportunity
to
first
to
walk
through
the
facility.
Amazing
amazing
place
of
learning
that
I
think
is
going
to
help
really
transition
the
students
that
it
was
designed
for
so
we're
gonna
host
our
ward
meeting.
There
I'm
still
waiting
to
confirm
if
we're
gonna
have
some
representative
from
Robert
Gables
office,
we're
working
on
solidifying
that
one
of
the
topics
is
just
getting
updated
on
the
most
recent
marijuana
legislation
that
passed,
but
inviting
all
second
Ward

to
attend.
Thank
you.

me.

Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I'd,
like
to
thank
you
all
the
memory
Simmons
for
mentioning
the
equity
and
empowerment
Commission
next
Thursday
at
6:30
p.m.
I
hope
everyone
will
come
out
who's
interested
in.
That
I
also
would
like
to
condemn.
It,
send
my
condolences
to
the
family
of
Steve
Mullins.
As
the
mayor
said,
he
was
a
very,
very
active
and
committed
member
of
the
community.
AX
He
and
his
wife
Carol
were
key
members
of
the
Evanston
Community
Foundation
Steve
served
on
the
planned
Commission
Carol
was
a
PTA
president
and
she
was
on
a
school
board
and
Steve
also
did
open
the
Toby
jugg
Museum,
which
was
a
passion
of
his
since
his
childhood
and
I.
Remember
when
he
discussed
it
with
me,
and
lo
and
behold
we
have
thousands
of
people
who
come
into
town
to
see
Toby
jugs,
the
oldest
of
which
is
from
1760.

AW
You
I
was
also
at
the
at
the
event
fundraising
event
for
the
crown
project
and
I
appreciate
and
am
grateful
for
the
Friends
of
crown.
Everybody
involved
in
that
I
believe
and
I'll,
say
I
believe,
because
I
didn't
count
the
money
and
I'm
not
gonna.
You
know
promise
for
future
posterity,
but
I
believe
one
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
additional
money
was
raised
at
that
event,
so
that
everybody
helps
of
course
also
in
case
it's
escaped
anyone's
attention.
A
new
application
for
