Q
Q
From
the
building,
possibly
about
the
possibility
of
having
the
cafe
located
there,
I
looked
directly
across
the
street
from
it.
I've
always
dreamed
of
seeing
something
like
that
there.
I
think
it
would
create
a
great
sense
of
community
to
have
a
cafe
there.
It
would
have
a
plastic
setting.
There
would
be
shared
space
for
people
to
gather
by
the
lake.
That
is
not
expensive.
Q
Q
Q
This
would
prevent
people
from
having
to
leave
the
area
to
find
food.
It
would
instill
a
sense
of
pride
and
ownership
among
all
the
residents
of
evanston
to
bring
their
friends
to
buy
a
lake,
and
they
would
help
the
economy
and
help
our
businesses.
It
may
drive
more
people
to
come
and
visit
evanston
increased
tourism,
which
then
could
help
our
businesses
in
the
city.
W
J
W
Have
watched
the
pandemic
decimate
many
of
our
downtown
businesses,
especially
the
small
boutiques
that
have
made
evanston
so
special,
and
that
time
will
matt,
monette
and
highland
park
have
all
surpassed
evanston,
as
north
shore
destinations
blessed,
have
a
long
stretch
of
beaches,
the
most
used
amenity
in
the
city
in
the
summer
and
one
well
used
in
the
winter
as
well.
However,
to
spend
much
time
there,
you
have
to
pack
a
bunch
of
snacks,
and
there
is
no.
There
is
a
no
alcohol
policy.
W
Y
W
Destination
would
be
classy
and
suit
the
needs
of
many
of
them
in
these
who
oppose
food
trucks,
a
true
outdoor
cafe
would
be
a
place.
People
could
bring
their
pets
and
eat
safely
and
outdoors.
They
could
come
after
a
walk
or
a
swim
to
build
community
watch
the
boats
land
in
and
out
watch
their
kids
play
around
the
lagoon
and
feed
the
dogs
until
their
meals
are
ready.
Perhaps
the
cafe
would
sell
dog
food
for
that
purpose,
and
people
would
stop
feeding.
W
W
After
all,
it
is
easier
to
head
to
evanston
for
a
day
at
the
beach.
If
you
don't
have
to
park
three
times
at
the
beach
downtown
for
lunch,
and
then
at
least
I
have
two
teenagers
and
a
daughter
I
was
21.
They
all
admit
that
there
are
very
few
places
for
them.
Nevinson
they
go
to
the
beach.
They
hang
out
on
the
rocks
and
they
mill
around
downtown.
W
The
arrington
lagoon
cafe,
can
come
and
eat,
spend
their
parents
money
and
have
a
safe
place
to
congregate,
away
from
traffic
and
off
the
rocks.
For
too
long
our
lakefront
has
sat
as
a
dormant
resource
underutilized.
Let's
get
excited
about
having
one
thing
there
that
is
not
built
of
sand,
that
is
a
destination.
A
Z
A
V
V
V
V
V
V
It's
it's
essentially
acting
as
rfp,
we've
updated
it
to
remove
the
requests
that
the
ability
to
police
council
member
read,
who
asked
that
we
focus
on
the
building
only
and
not
try
to
to
make
it
a
broader
lakefront
food
operation
as
staff.
I
think
we're
really
comfortable
with
that.
Let's
focus
one
thing
at
a
time.
I
don't
necessarily
know.
V
I'm
going
to
get
that
because
I
don't
want.
I
think
you
all
understand
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
and
we're
available
for
questions.
We
one
other
correction
in
the
rfp.
We
said
that
we
would
do
a
site
visit
on
march
8th,
which
is
today-
and
I
was
assuming
that
we
were
having
this
approved
two
weeks
ago,
so
we'll
update
the
documents
reflect
the
date
that
that
we're
going
to
do
cyclists
and
probably
authority
to
move
forward
today.
We'll
do
that
next
week
for
the
week
after.
I
also.
O
V
AC
AC
V
Perspective,
we
don't
know
what
the
market
will
bear
on
in
this
site.
We've
outlined
what
is
on
on-site,
which
is
a
very
minimal
kind
of
prep
warming
kitchen.
So
one
approach
could
be
that
a
restaurant
tour
does
all
the
food
off-site
and
then
brings
it
into
the
space.
It
keeps
it
warm
or
does
something
fingers.
Do
you
miss
bone?
You
recall,
there's
an
oven
in
the
space.
I
I
don't
recall
there
is
not
there's
nothing.
So
you
know
there
isn't
even
a.
O
V
AD
V
AC
AC
V
AE
AF
A
A
AC
Okay,
yeah,
I
have
one
or
two
other
questions.
Do
we
have
anything
in
here
that
I'm
just
realizing
this
now
that
requires
is
seeking
someone,
who's
eco-friendly
uses
recycles,
make
sure
they
use
materials
that
are
as
eco-friendly
as
possible.
I
think
you
need
to
add
that
okay,
I
would
like
to
add
that,
because
that's
becoming
much
more
affordable
for
restaurants
now
and
especially
because
it's
not
really
fun
they're,
really
emphasizing
hard
right
now,
then.
My
other
point
is:
how
long
is
the
park
program
summer
program
going
to
be
happening
here
right?
AH
V
I'm
gonna
find
this
for
you
there's
a
vast
center
that
in
year
one
this
year
there's
a
plan
to
coexist
with
the
plant
and
figure
out
how
that
works.
Their
powers
according
to
fitness,
director
of
hemingway
was
eight
thirty
to
one
thirty
and
it's
outlined
in
the
proposal.
But
and
so
the
idea
would
be
that
we
would
we
would
swap
out.
However,
I
am
going
to
have
a
conversation
with
interim
director.
V
And
to
discuss
if,
if
that
is
a
fixed
requirement,
if
there's
a
way
that
we
can,
if
there's
another
way
to
consider
storing
things
or
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
at
a
minimum
we
think
about
an
alternative.
So
there
isn't
a
conflict,
but
the
way
that
it's
presented
today
is
that
the
hours
are
they
kind
of.
V
P
V
V
This
area-
and
so
ideally,
we
have
a
single
user
using
the
space
again
because
we're
we're
transitioning
from
this
coping
world
into
wherever
we
are
today,
which
is
still
covered
with
world.
It's
not
carousels,
but
we
decided
that
we
should
really
try
to
move
forward
anything
that
this
would
be
a
good
use
here
in
the
summer
and
they
already
had
the
space
occupied.
Just
in
that.
AC
Glass,
okay,
my
only
other
comment
is
this
year
we
have
ice
skating,
but
in
prior
years
ice
skating
is
no
longer
reliably
available
there
because
of
temperature,
so
it
would
be
lovely.
I
mean
I
certainly
know
people
who
were
up
here
in
the
40s,
where
the
key
to
that
building
is
passed
around
you're
among
neighbors
and
that
you
just
go
knock
on
the
door
and
apparently
the
neighborhood
will
go
in
and
give
you
the
kill.
You
give
it
back
after
you're
done
isolating
some
sweeter,
simple
developments.
W
I
think
I'm
glad
that
we
decided
just
to
focus
just
on
this
one
location
as
opposed
to
making
it
more
expansive.
I
think
we,
if,
if
we
continue-
and
I
say
if-
because
this
will
only
proceed
with
very
close
communication
participation
with
residents
who
surround
with
that
everybody
and
anybody
who's
interested,
but
I'm
absolutely
with
community
involvement
because
for
you
know
some
of
the
reasons
that
it
hasn't
happened
in
the
past.
So
so
I'm
glad
that
we're
just
going
to
focus
on
one.
I
think
again.
W
If
we
do
get
this
off
the
ground,
I
think
we
want
to
make
sure
this
is
done
right
and
I
think
just
an
absolute
beautiful
experience
and
in
terms
of
some
of
the
things
that
councilman
mentioned,
I
would
like
to
see
us
work
out
if
assuming
if
we
do
go
forward,
that
maybe
the
establishment
would
contract
with
the
city
for
garbage
removal.
This
sort
of
thing
so
like
that
we
can
ensure
that
it's
really
absolutely
kept
tip
top
clean.
So,
rather
than
relying
you
know,
I'd
like
to
see
the
city.
W
AI
V
AI
V
V
AI
AI
V
J
AH
V
V
We
believe
that
this
is
the
easiest
one
to
start
with,
when
we
did
this
two
years
ago,
we
had
also
included
the
clark
street
beach
and
they
called
it.
A
bending
concession
stand
right,
there's
a
space
in
there
and
then
we
also
considered
bringing
in
james
park
concessions
and
then
oh
we're
going
to
move
forward
soon
with
the
robert
crown
that
was,
we
were
focused
on
the
robert
crown
in
this
very.
V
AJ
AD
V
AK
AL
AK
Q
AE
V
AC
So
my
concern
is:
it's
a
whole
service
restaurant
because
you
know
comes
from
a
breed.
If
you
go
around
the
back,
any
restaurant
in
evanston,
there's
a
grease
barrel,
there's
garbage
there's
a
lot
of
other
stuff
that
is
back
of
the
house
forms
in
the
alley.
There
is
no
alley
around
this
building
all
sides
that
are
beautiful,
all
sizes
that
have
patio
around
it.
So
my
concern
is
that
if
we
that
we
have
a
light
footprint
here,
we
do
something.
It's
a
beautiful
space.
I've
been
out
there
a
lot
during
the
starlight
concept.
Y
AF
AC
Of
it's
a
warming
kitchen,
but
I
I
at
for
legislative
history
purposes
I
am
discussing
over
here.
This
counts
as
this
economic
development
team
to
say
that
what
I
could
support
is
something
that
it
as
is
described
here,
that
we
make
sure
that
someone
I
mean
if
somebody
comes
in
and
says
we're
going
to
have.
AC
AI
AC
We
have
tight
retirements,
like
we
do
with
a
lot
of
our
restaurants
that
you
pick
up
your
trash.
You
pick
up.
Everything
else
is
trash
within
250
feet
and
and
that
we
make
sure
that,
because
it's
our
late
friend
that
it's
it
you
know
you
empty
your
trash.
As
you
know,
at
the
frequency
that
we
tell
you.
A
Well,
I
think
what
you're
saying
I
I
know.
For
example,
I
live
right.
I
mean
the
long
hours
leave
a
lot
of
restaurants
and
I'm
near
the
alley
where
peckish
pig,
a
nice
poor,
restaurant
is
and
good
to
go
and
you
walk
through
the
alley
and
there's
this
tub.
It's
like
a
tray,
it's
a
big
like
trash
bin
and
it's
where
they
dump
the
grease
and
quite
often
that
stuff
spills.
AK
J
AK
P
AC
AJ
This
conversation
might
be
kind
of
moved
because
there's
only
space
there
for
a
warming
kitchen,
that's
not,
as
you
know,
they're
doing
the
work
with
the
grease
or
no
grease
or
with
chopping
cutting,
throwing
away
the
packages
the
fish
comes
in.
That
is
all
somewhere
else.
They
prepare
it.
They
transport
it
to
the
lagoon.
They
played
it
there.
V
V
Z
V
O
AC
AC
A
Yeah,
okay,
I
I
just
wanted
to.
I
had
a
few
things
that
I
wanted
to
very
quickly
bring
up.
I
said
councilmember
what
maybe
we're
not
gonna
figure
out
the
grease
trap
question
now,
so
maybe
it's
moved,
but
I
do.
I
have
this
risk
category
thing
here
from
the
health
department
and
it
seems
as
though
we're
really
looking
for
something
very
similar
to
what
we
already
allow
with
the
lake
front,
which
is
mobile
food
or
almost
like
a
push
cart.
A
You
know
the
same
thing
that
a
push
cart
peddler
would
be
able
to
operate,
is
essentially
what
we're
saying
could
operate
here
at
this
facility,
and
so
that's
a
category
two
or
three
and
I'll
send
this
to
everybody.
I'm
not
gonna
go
over
now,
and
then
I'm
glad
that
paul.
You
clarified
that
we're
just
talking
about
this
spot
here,
not
someone
managing
an
entire
lakefront
operation
and
I'm
sorry.
How
soon
do
you
think
that
when
does
the
beach
season.
V
A
Okay,
I
think
we're
ready
to
vote
on
this.
I'd
like
to
you
know
see
this.
You
know
let's
try
to
move
on
this.
I
think
that
the
feed
in
someone's
face
is
similar
again
to
the
push
cart
license
fee
or
the
mobile
food
vendor
fee
and,
of
course,
whatever
that.
I
think,
okay,
great
we're,
ready
to
call
the
march
9th
meeting
with
the
economic
development
committee
to
order.
B
A
P
Q
Q
Q
Beautiful
setting
and
have
a
cup
of
tea,
a
glass
of
water
or
a
glass
of
wine,
it
would
not
be
privileged
for
the
rich,
but
for
everyone
in
a
community,
it's
humanitarian.
The
lake
needs
a
place
that
provides
food
and
water
to
those
who
are
thirsty
or
dehydrated
or
native
food.
After
a
long
walk
around
the
lake-
and
we
don't
have
any
such
resources
available.
Q
This
will
prevent
people
from
having
to
leave
the
area
to
find
food.
It
would
instill
a
sense
of
pride
and
ownership
among
all
the
residents
of
evanston
to
bring
their
friends
to
buy
a
lake,
and
it
would
help
the
economy
and
help
our
businesses.
It
may
drive
more
people
to
come
and
visit
evanston
increase
tourism,
which
then
could
help
our
businesses
in
the
city.
W
AL
W
Have
watched
the
pandemic
decimate
many
of
our
downtown
businesses,
especially
the
small
boutiques
that
have
made
evanston
so
special,
and
that
time
will
matt,
moneck
and
highland
park
have
all
surpassed
evanston
as
north
shore
destinations,
evidences
blessed
have
a
long
stretch
of
beaches,
the
most
used
amenity
in
the
city
in
the
summer
and
one
well
used
in
the
winter
as
well.
However,
to
spend
much
time
there,
you
have
to
pack
a
bunch
of
snacks,
and
there
is
no.
There
is
a
no
alcohol
policy.
W
What
if
we
had
a
destination
somewhere
to
go
to
get
a
hot
meal
or
one
stack
of
beverage,
a
real
cafe,
as
opposed
to
a
beverage
cart
that
is
there
with
gatorade
and
ships
would
draw
people
as
a
destination,
not
just
someone
looking
to
culture,
a
thirst,
it
would
be
a
meeting
place
and
a
happy
hour
destination
would
be
classy
and
suit
the
needs
of
many
of
them
in
these
who
oppose
food
trucks,
a
true
outdoor
cafe
would
be
a
place.
People
could
bring
their
pets
and
eat
safely
and
outdoors.
W
W
Boaters
could
grab
a
meal
before
they
head
out
on
the
water
or
eat
something
good
upon
their
return,
as
there
is
nowhere
to
park
a
boat
except
right
there.
This
cafe
would
draw
people
from
chicago
and
the
surrounding
north
shore
suburbs.
Maybe
it
would
sell
a
few
more
beach
tokens
from
out-of-towners.
W
After
all,
it
is
easier
to
head
to
evanston
for
a
day
at
the
beach.
If
you
don't
have
to
park
three
times
at
the
beach
downtown
for
lunch,
and
then
at
least
I
have
two
teenagers
and
a
daughter
I
was
21.
They
all
admit
that
there
are
very
few
places
for
them.
Nevenstein
they
go
to
the
beach.
They
hang
out
on
the
rocks
and
they
mill
around
downtown.
W
The
arrington
lagoon
cafe,
they
would
come
and
eat,
spend
their
parents
money
and
have
a
safe
place
to
congregate,
away
from
traffic
and
off
the
rocks.
For
too
long
our
lakefront
has
sat
as
a
dormant
resource
underutilized.
Let's
get
excited
about
having
one
thing
there
that
is
not
built

that
is
a
destination.

AM
V
V
Me
when
I
say
rfp,
it's
it's
essentially
acting
as
rfp,
we've
updated
it
to
remove
the
request
that
the
ability
to
police
council
member,
we
ask
that
we
focus
on
the
building
only
and
not
try
to
to
make
it
a
broader
lakefront
food
operation
as
staff.
I
think
we're
really
comfortable
with
that.
Let's
focus
on
one
thing
at
a
time.
I
don't
necessarily
know
if
we're
ready
for.
V
I'm
going
to
look
at
that
because
I
don't
want.
I
think
you
all
understand
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
and
we're
available
for
questions.
We
one
other
correction
in
the
rfp.
We
said
that
we
would
do
a
site
visit
on
march
8th,
which
is
today
that
was
assuming
that
we
were
having
this
approved
two
weeks
ago,
so
we'll
update
the
documents
reflect
the
date
that
that
we're
going
to
do
a
cyclist
it,
probably
if
it's,
if
it's,
if
we're
getting
authority
to
move
forward
today,
we'll
do
that
next
week
for
the
week
after.
V
V
AB
AC
V
Perspective,
we
don't
know
what
the
market
will
bear
on
this
site.
We've
outlined
what
is
on
on-site,
which
is
a
very
minimal
kind
of
prep
warming,
kitchen
yeah.
So
one
approach
could
be
that
a
restaurant
tour
does
all
the
food
off-site
and
then
brings
it
into
the
space.
It
keeps
it
warm
or
does
something
fingers
do
you
miss
bone?
You
recall,
there's
an
oven
in
the
space.
I
I
don't
recall,
there's
nothing.
Y
V
AC
AC
AE
V
AN
A
AG
AC
AC
V
AC
Okay,
I
have
one
or
two
other
questions.
Do
we
have
anything
in
here
that
I'm
just
realizing
this
now
that
requires
is
seeking
someone,
who's
eco-friendly
uses
recycles,
make
sure
they
use
materials
that
are
as
eco-friendly
as
possible.
I
think,
okay,
I
would
like
to
add
that,
because
that's
becoming
much
more
affordable
for
restaurants
now
and
especially
because
it's
not
really
fun
they're,
really
emphasizing
hard
right
now,
then.
My
other
point
is:
how
long
is
the
park
program
summer
program
going
to
be
happening
here?
V
V
AM
V
Taxation
on
it
improves
the
usability
of
it
we're
giving
different
operations.
We
do
a
little
bit
of
operational,
but
we
don't
even
land
on
this
when
we
get
the
small
grant
for
like
point
of
sale
like
the
entrepreneurship
family,
point
of
sale
systems
or
that's
just
that's
just
secret
right.
This
is
more
about
like
investing
in
the
space,
and
it
also
helps
businesses
that
are
likely
not
going
to
get
money.
We
always
check
them
the
banks
by
the
way
as
well.
Can
you
participate
in
this
before
we
invest?
AK
V
Notice
notice
how
hip
circle
and
didn't
go
both
at
25
000,
that's
their
loan
amount,
and
that
was
because
the
the
storefront
modernization
program
had
had
a
ceiling
of
a
fifty
thousand
a
dollar.
So
it's
a
fifty
thousand
dollar
demand
trans
fifty
percent
up
to
fifty
thousand.
So
if
you
have
a
fifty
thousand
dollar
investment,
this
loan
would
have
been
for
twenty
five
thousand
again.
For
example,
it's
a
25
000
project,
12
500.
V
And
it
was
just
designed
as
a
way
to
we.
We
had
a
city-wide
sort
of
modernization
grant
program
where
we
said,
and
I
think
this
is
how
little
vision
has
evolved
if
you're
east
of
ridge
or
east
of
asbury,
we
would
help
you
with
with
retail
home
right
we're
gonna
open
up
a
retail
shop
because
we're
trying
to
motivate
retail
to
happen
in
vacant
stores
and
we
were
unsuccessful.
AM
V
W
In
terms
of
like,
if
we
invest
in
businesses
or
these
models,
is
there
any
sort
of
clawback?
Let's
say:
if
some
business
would
have
you
know
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
loan
to
do
you
know
sort
of
general
build
out,
but
they
fail
and
they
instead
of
just
you
know,
is
there
do
we
have
any
sort
of
measure
like
I
don't
know?
W
V
V
We
often
will
have
to
take
a
certain
position,
because
the
bank
is
just
as
that
likely.
So
if
there's
money
left
after
the
bank
takes
over,
we
that's
rare,
we
haven't
again,
I
think
really.
The
only
failure
is
to
bring
that
up
and
then
there
are
cases
I'll
leave
it
there
unless
they
own
the
property
council.
AC
So
another
point
to
add
is
that
with
these
programs,
for
instance,
if
it's
a
leasehold
interest
there,
we
have
requested
that
they
go
to
their
landlord
first.
A
number
of
these
things
say
you
know
if
you
need
to
include
the
air
conditioning
that
you
talk
to
your
little
boy.
To
what
extent
can
you
do
this
a
lot
of
times?
These
are
very
small
families
who
don't
have
the
ability
to
do
it
either.
AC
So
what
we're
doing
that
as
paul
was
saying,
is
get
these
loans,
that
we
are
the
leasehold
improvement
none
of
over
the
years
we
don't
improve.
We
don't
loan
for
things
that
the
business
owner
can
then
remove
from
your
business
and
take
some
results.
It's
all
fixtures
fixtures
and
improving
the
the
renting
the
police
home
itself
so
and.
V
We
also
do
a
recording
the
quarter
deeds
of
there's
a
commercial
sequence
that
we
documented.
What
we've
been,
what
we
have
invested
in
our
field,
but,
for
example,
I
forgot
about
one
get
this
record:
they
failed
miserably.
Yes,
okay,
but
we
we
had.
We
had
the
claw
back
position
and
also
recorded
against
the
properties
of
a
list
of
all
the
furniture
and
equipment,
and
while
we
didn't
get
all
of
our
that
rent,
we
were
able
to
keep
a
lot
of
his
entire
restaurant
became
ours,
which
is
it.
V
AC
A
Yeah,
lastly,
to
close
this
out
I'll
say
I
do.
I
would
like
to
have
a
discussion
about
the
loan
program.
Overall,
that's
certainly
not
what's
on
the
table
here.
Of
course,
I
am
interested
in
the
future.
It's
we
gave
him
the
loan,
we're
deferring
it's
fine,
but
I
do
in
the
future,
I'm
curious
to
see
if
we
can
set
better
parameters
like,
for
example,
hip
circle.
A
I
don't
think
they
bring
in
really
any
sales
tax
because
they
don't
have
any
sales
and
so
other
than
the,
and
also
we're
talking
a
lot
about.
You
know
folks,
going
to
the
the
lease
or
the
land
owner
with
hipster,
where
the
city
happens
to
be
the
owner
of
the
property
that
they're
that
they're
situated
in
I'm
curious.
Y
V
Right
in
this
case,
it
would
have
been
what
is
considered
a
tenant
improvement
allowance,
so
in
most
in
most
commercial
leases,
the
landlord
will
contribute
some
percentage
of
the
total
build
out.
I
don't
have
that
number
in
front
of
me,
but
it
was
kind
of
scaled
in
that
way
to
represent
a
because
we
we
had
a
similar
arrangement
with
pascal,
for
this
cafe.
Core
league
malik
was
wise
enough
to
do
her
research
and
ask
for
a
similar
arrangement,
and
if
we
negotiate
that
with
the
previous
alderman
and
that's
all
okay,
yeah.
A
V
Right,
so
to
answer
your
question
that
that
was
the
example
I
gave
for
a
cafe
core
leader.
It's
called
the
ucc
statement
that
we
documented
each
of
the
things
that
part
of
that
improvement.
I
would
have
to
look
at
the,
for
example.
In
the
hip
circle
deal
I
don't
know,
we
know
what
they
did,
because
we
have
the
permits
for
what
they
did
with
build
out.
But
I,
in
this
case
I
wouldn't
say
that,
because
we
didn't,
we
didn't
give
we
didn't
the
tenant
improvements
weren't,
including
the
equipment.
V
V
There
was
attendant
improvement
allowance,
plus
a
loan
for
equipment
it
was,
it
was.
The
idea
was
that
no
bank
was
going
to
go
to
restaurant
alone
and
we
wanted
to
fill
that
space
quickly
and
you
know
pascal
was
thriving
on
davis
street
and
he
did
the
connection
didn't
work
on
our
street
so
that
in
that
case
we
we
allowed
the
loan.
It
was
probably
not
tip
because
you
can't
use
to
buy
ovens
right.
So
I
can't
have
a
look
at
the
sources
of
funds
for
that.
AC
AC
AC
V
I
personally
took
photographs
of
all
the
equipment
that
was
purchased
personally
from
a
staff
perspective.
These
are
really
hard
to
manage
and
it's
not.
It
truly
isn't
our
expertise,
so
we
don't
do
a
lot
of
these
and
at
the
time
this
was
happening.
It
was
city-owned
property
and
we're
trying
to
like
just
get
things
done
right,
and
I
would
argue
that
that's
not
our
expertise,
we're
going
to
do
less
of
that
and
focus
more
on
the
business
district-wide
initiatives.
U
A
Can
to
vote
now?
Oh,
it's
been
moved
by
councilmember
nismus.
Second,
I
think
constantly
moved
to
second
by
council
number,
one,
all
those
in
favor
all
those
opposed
abstentions.
Great.
Thank
you.
We'll
move
on
next
to
item
d,
which
is
issue
a
request
for
proposal
for
the
city
owned
property
located
at
7
27
through
729
howard
street
staff
requested
yeah.
So
is
there
a
motion
for
that
to
look
as
though
a
second
okay
moved
in?
Second,
if
I
come
from
the
news
paul,
if
you
have
anything
on.
V
There's
a
picture
of
the
building
hip
circle
is
our
tent.
There
is
a
long
vacant
space
729.
I
think
his
last
10
was
a
storefront
church.
We
had
really
been
for
several
years.
Steph
has
been
wanting
to
put
this
on
the
market
here
and
I
think
now
is
the
time
I'll
rediscuss
this
with
council,
member
reid
and
I'll.
Let
him
speak
for
himself,
but
I
think
I
think
we're
aligned
on
this.
V
V
Do
then
they
come
with
with
the
sale
and
that's
not
a
bad
thing
for
some
retail
property
owners
they
have
a
tenant
already
lined
up.
If
they
want
to
now.
Remember
these,
then
it's
certainly
this
becomes
a
potential
development
site
or
depending
on
what
the
rfps
come
back
as
it
could
just
be
retail
leased
out.
But
that's
our
perspective
on
it.
I
the
fact
that
the
prior
council
member
it
was
never
a
high
priority
at
the
time
for
council
member.
V
V
Yeah,
so
the
post
post,
2008
city
was
active,
acquiring
properties
that
were
available
on
howard
street
to
implement
this
revitalization,
whether
it
be
city
usage,
remember
there
was
the
outpost
and
we
sold
buildings
for
toward
eight
packages.
So
this
idea
of,
like
the
city
controlling
the
future
of
these
sites
versus
letting
them.
AH
V
AJ
AC
Oh
yes,
comfortable
just
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
history.
A
lot
of
what
was
happening
on
howard
street
was
absentee
learners
for
a
long
period
of
time.
That
and
and
it
caused
the
decline,
a
lot
of
decline
on
howard
street.
There
were
a
number
of
landlords
who
just
didn't
care.
They
had
large
enough
real
estate
holdings.
They
just
didn't
care
whether
they
leased
or
not,
which
is
newly
released
and
part
of
the
strategy
of
revitalizing
howard
street,
was
for
the
city
to
gain
control
of
some
of
these
proposals.
AC
In
the
city,
where
we
have
an
absentee
landlord,
largely
staying
only
they
ask
either
they
either
don't
care
very
much
about
their
property,
so
they
kind
of
let
it
languish
or
they
ask
much
to
hire
rent
because
they
don't
understand
the
evidence
in
market
and
so
the
property.
We
have
happened
over
the
years
in
downtown
afghanistan
much
much
less.
Now
the
vacancies
are
related
much
more
to
economic
reasons,
but
over
the
years
we
have
had
absolutely.
AC
You
know.
The
city
has
said,
suggested,
sell
the
property
or
lower
the
rent,
but
they
don't
have
an
economic
need
like
cvs
for
that
property
owner.
So
that's
how
I
don't
remember
the
specifics
of
how
we
got
727,
but
that
was
part
of
that.
Here's,
a
property
coming
up
for
sale.
We
can
purchase
it
and
control
it
and
not
let
it
turn
over
into
just
another
landlord
who
doesn't
really
care
very
much.
A
AC
AC
Y
V
B
Y
U
Y
A
A
C
Q
Q
From
the
room
building,
possibly
the
about
the
possibility
of
having
the
cafe
argentine
located
there,
I
looked
directly
across
the
street
from
it.
I've
always
dreamed
of
seeing
something
like
that
there.
I
think
it
would
create
a
great
sense
of
community
to
have
a
cafe
there.
It
would
have
a
positive
setting.
There
would
be
shared
space
for
people
to
gather
by
the
lake.
That
is
not
expensive.
Q
Q
Beautiful
setting
and
have
a
cup
of
tea,
a
glass
of
water
or
a
glass
of
wine,
it
would
not
be
privileged
for
the
rich,
but
for
everyone
in
a
community,
it's
humanitarian.
The
lake
needs
a
place
that
provides
food
and
water
to
those
who
are
thirsty
or
dehydrated
or
in
need
of
food.
After
a
long
walk
around
the
lake-
and
we
don't
have
any
such
resources
available.
Q
This
would
prevent
people
from
having
to
leave
the
area
to
find
food.
It
would
instill
a
sense
of
pride
and
ownership
among
all
the
residents
of
government
to
bring
their
friends
to
buy
a
lake,
and
they
would
help
the
economy
and
help
our
businesses.
It
may
drive
more
people
to
come
and
visit
evanston
increase
tourism,
which
then
could
help
our
businesses
in
the
city.
W
AH
AK
AK
What
I'm
saying
is,
I
understand
what
we're
selling
it,
but
likely
they're
not
going
to
want
if
there
was
like
multiple
tenants.
That's
one
thing
like
you
see
a
lot
of
property
listed
in
that
way
like
oh,
it's
leak,
this
leased
up,
but
typically
people
use
that
term.
When
there's
more
than
one
you
know
person,
that's
leasing,
somebody
that's
probably
going
to
buy.
This
is
going
to
want
to
use
it.
I
would
imagine
unless
you're
thinking
differently
like
if.
A
A
If,
if
hip
circle
is
maybe
interested
in
moving
on
or
may
come
to
some
agreement,
they
would
find
someone
who'd
be
interested
in
actually
developing
the
site
and
adding
some
residential
units
above
it
again,
not
anything
higher
than
what
the
zoning
would
allow.
But
you
know
had
some
residential
above
it
and
then
you
know
they
and
then
commercial
below,
and
I
think
that
would
make
the
deal
a
little
smearer
for
someone.
AK
A
AK
AJ
AH
AK
A
The
only
thing
that
I
really
would
like
to
see
with
this
I'd
love
to
see
emphasized
in
the
rfp
that,
and
certainly
looking
for
feedback
from
the
committee
to
move
that
forward.
But
I
I'd
like
to
see
us
give
preference
or
really
emphasize
the
extra
points
to
someone
who
comes
back
with
a
plan
that
would
add
residential
units
above
and
I'd,
be
willing
to
power
supply.
It's
an
underutilized
parcel,
it
would
add,
to
you,
know
more
faces
and
heads
on
the
street
more
people.

Speculate
but
you
know
you
can
look
at
both
of
these
these
three
sites
here
and
think.
Well,
maybe
there's
some
partnership,
somebody
does
it.
They
look
at
our
property
and
they're
like
I'll
talk
to
the
laundry
and
there's
a
you
know,
there's
an
assemblage
or
property,
so
they
can
do
more.
You
never
know
what
happens
in
an
rv
when.
A
A
Okay
with
that,
I
don't
know
if
I
need
to
formally
adopt
those,
but
I
think
the
direction
is
given
to
staff.
So
it's
been
properly
moved
and
seconded
to
direct
staff
to
issue
the
rfp,
all
those
in
favor,
all
those
opposed,
any
abstentions.
None
thank
you
and
then,
finally,
or
not
finally,
close
to
finally
there's
e,
which
is
tax,
increment
financing
for
custer
avenue
and
yep.
Is
there
a
motion
for
that
that'll
make
it
motion
moved
by
council
municipal
seconded
by
council,
councilman
burns
paul.
V
I
want
to
point
out
that
we
are
pursuing
an
up
to
amount
of
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
tax
increment
finance
into
the
chicago
native
district,
to
assist
with
of
some
of
the
renovations
around
house
gravity,
including
the
east
side
of
the
metric
track,
where
you
either
pay
for
parking
or
you
go
to
the
heading
downtown
tracks.
The
idea.
Y
V
AH
V
So
the
idea
here
is
a
mural,
some
lighting
that
crosses
customers
to
help
with
evening
dining
and
then
some
general
infrastructure
cleanup
and
improvements
to
the
area
to
help
make
this
happen.
We're
saying
up
to
amount
because
we
don't
know
if
we
will
achieve
you
know
winning
this
aarp
grant
that
our
transportation
mobility
coordinator
is
helping
us
submit
for.
V
AH
AJ
AJ

AC
AC
We
really
seem
to
impact
on
murals
of
the
effects
of
murals
in
terms
of
changing
the
feeling
of
communities,
and
I
would
be
surprised
that
there's
there
are
papers
written
on
that,
but
I
think
this
is
a
good
use
of
money
and
and
we're
getting
a
lot
of
maine
duster
miles,
participating
and
there's
a
lot
of
different
contributions
to
this.
So
I
as
someone
who
supported
the
tiff
when
it
was
started,
I
think
this
is
a
good
recipe.
V
AJ
F
A
A
AD
AC
AK
A
So
I
I
just
want
to
note
that
I'm
supporting
this
too.
I
go
past
the
area
all
the
time,
and
I
know
there
are
a
few
bridges
and
areas
in
the
eighth
ward
that
really
need
some
love
and
two
particularly
that
howard
street
bridge,
if
you've
driven
past
that
recently
it
looks
sad
so
I
I
support
this
as
well.
AC
I
think,
to
the
extent
that
the
infrastructure
money-
that's
there,
I'm
happy
to
participate
with
in
a
group
meeting
of
those
of
us
who
have
these
rusty
structures
and
over
the
years
I've
been
part
of
the
prior
meetings
where
we
actually
were
able
to
push
hard
work
and
get
from
the
overpasses,
the
ones
that
were
in
the
bottom
10
of
safety
of
all
of
the
cta
projects.
Gotten
money
for
that
from
the
state
to
get
those
done.
But
we
need
to
just
keep
vlogging.
A
Y
AK
Suggest
that
for
this,
that
that's
not
just
piecemealing
it
like
you
know,
we
have
that
whole
braille
line
like
let's
take
a
comprehensive
approach,
one
and
done
and
to
say
what
can
we
do
to
beautify
the
whole
stretch,
because
you
always
complain
about
it
right,
like
I
grew
up
here,
that's
been
a
long
tradition
of
complaining
about
the
state
of
that
thing.
So,
and
I
don't
know
and
again
I
don't
think
the
comprehensive
plan
is
going
to
be
a
catch
off
all
this
as
much
as
we
want
it
to
be.
That's
kind
of
our.
AK
We
always
fall
back
on
that.
If
we
don't
want
to,
you
know,
plan
for
ourselves
or
the
comprehensive
plan
we
do.
I
don't
know
if
it's
going
to
be
a
catch-all,
so
hopefully,
between
the
you
know,
alderman
who's
ward,
though
that
lined
us
and
get
together
and
come
up
with
a
plan
for
all
of
it.
So
we
can
just.
AC
You
know
the
way
that
we
have
been.
We
were
successful
with
the
three
viaducts,
the
four
lineups
that
we
did
get
was
there
was
an
identified
power
of
money
and
it
was
it
was
in
illinois
built
the
last
time.
Illinois
was
actually
solving
and
we
worked
with
jan
shkowski,
all
members
of
the
city,
council,
local
state
legislators
and
met-
and
you
know,
really
concentrated
our
effort
to
secure
the
money
for
those
three,
because
we
knew
it
was
there.
Y
AC
AK
AC
To
secure
this
money,
we
were
able
to
use
the
cta's
own
data,
which
was
damning
on
those
three
viaducts
and
even
with
that,
it
took
it,
took
everything
to
get
those
three
times,
but
there's
much
more.
You
know
with
the
infrastructure
builders
much
more
money,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
needs,
but
you're
absolutely
right.
These
things
have
been
sitting
there.
You
know
they
over
the
years
they
shrug
to
us
and
say:
well,
it's
structurally
sound.
If
you
don't
like
the
way
it
looks,
then
you
won't
paint
it,
but
you
know
to
undertake
that
it.
AC
Y
AK
A
A
A
All
those
opposed
any
abstentions.
The
item
has
passed
economic
development
committee
membership.
We
can
very,
we
move
through
this
and
the
economic
development
reports.
Please
goodness!
Oh
I'm,
sorry,
oh
make
it
to
the
entrepreneurs.
Okay!
Well,
we're
not
doing
that.
Today.
Amendments
to
entrepreneurship,
support
grant
program,
guidelines.
V
AN
A
AN
C
A
U
A
C
A
V
AM
AM
V
I
don't
think
we've
ever
dealt
with
the
land
use
issue
and
in
economic
development,
maybe
ancillary,
because
obviously
your
use
is
on
land,
but
but
really,
if
you
recall
over
the
years,
the
zba
person
and
generally
the
planning
commission
person
were
generally
really
quiet
on
the
committee.
They
didn't
offer
a
lot
of,
and
so
what
I
was
really
realizing
is
what
we
were
experiencing
with
this
lead
wall
was
something
else
I
lied.
V
AH
AC
I
do
think
that
if
there's
a
warning
kind
of
small
business
owner
on
the
committee
to
give
us
that
that
perspective,
I
do
think
that
they
that
it's
the
advantage
of
an
economic
development
professional,
occasionally
there's
been
some
overlap
from
the
planned
commission
on
that
person
and
when
they
are.
When
they've
been
active
on
the
committee,
it's
been
very
helpful
mwbe,
as
paul
said.
Those
are.
Those
are
issues
that
we
are
talking
about
all
the
time,
but,
of
course,
and
the
first
thing
about
important
time.
V
AC
AJ
AJ
AC
Right
and
then
you
could
say
liaison
from
them
yeah
and
you
know,
and
that-
and
that
could
also
be
like
the
plan.
Commissioner
members,
where
it's,
I
don't
remember
the
terms
how
long
their
turn
they
serve,
but
it's
a
they're.
They
participate
with
us
for
two
years
and
then
they
roll
off
and
then
somebody
else
from
the
nwu
participates.
AC
A
Okay
with
that,
if
there's
no
further
session
I'll,
just
add
that
I,
I
think,
combining,
I
think,
council
number
one
said
this,
I
think,
combining
one
I
agree.
I
think
we
should
have
just
one
at-large
member
and
just
leave
that
open
to
any
resident,
and
I
think
for
the
rest
of
we
could
say
that
you
know
three
at-large
members,
how
many
and
you'd
be
one
of
those
fitting
into
one
of
these
categories
right
and
so
we'd
be
adding.
Maybe
two
more
people
or
three
more
people.
V
AL
A
A
A
If
there
isn't
someone
from
mwebe
that
is,
you
know
going
to
serve
on
this
committee,
then
we
could
flip
them
out.
We
can
flop
them,
and
so
it
leaves
us
a
lot
of
flexibility.
And
so
we
don't
have
the
issue
that
we're
kind
of
stuck
in
now
where
we
need
to
find
somebody
for
a
kid
from
a
committee
just
to
meet
quorum.
V
The
reason
so
the
reason
that
we're
stuck
in
this
now
is
because
the
plan
commission
was
yeah.
You
know
the
reason
right
so
dba
doesn't
exist
behind
commission
change,
technically
land
use.
Commission
could
appoint
somebody
to
serve
on
this
committee
today
and
that's
what
we
would
kind
of
live
with,
because
that's
the
successor
group,
what
I
was
trying
to
do
just
for
clarification
is
to
make
sure
that
we
had
a
similar
arrangement
that
technically
worked
for
during.
V
AF
V
A
AL
V
Yeah
I
mean
what,
if
there's
this
large
number
from
the
community,
what
would
their
characteristics
be
right?
Each
scott's,
a
member
of
the
community,
that
he
wasn't
the
mayor
chosen
right,
but
he
happens
to
have
been
doing
this
and
that's
why
he
was
chosen
and
I
think
miss
gallagher
was
chosen
because
she
was
a
business
owner
and
in
the
past
you've
had
you
know
a
heck
of
a
powell.
AH
J
AJ
AL
V
A
AK
I
don't
know
if
this
needs
to
be
its
own
thing,
but
I
think
to
me
the
most
important
person
is
somebody
who's:
an
experienced
urban
planner
economic
development
professional.
Like
that's
what
I'm
looking
for,
because
I
didn't
realize
this.
It
was
just
like
council
members
appreciate
the
economist,
but
I'd
love
to
see
like
an
economic
development,
professional
helping
to
enhance
what
we're
doing
here.
Otherwise
we're
just
a
bunch
of
amateurs.
AK
Want
right,
like
actual
existing
business
owner
and
then
also
a
visionary
like
somebody,
that's
in
the
professional
space,
that's
maybe
big
time
doing
most
of
the
work
in
chicago,
so
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
them,
trying
to
apply
for
things
here,
although
that
they
could.
But
you
know,
that's
that's
what
I'm
looking
for
to
help
guide,
what
we're
doing
so.
I
want
to
call
attention
to
that.
In
this
I
see
we
have
a.
AN
AK
So
that's
what
we're
suggesting
like
one!
That's
just
like:
let's
try
to
get
somebody
that
fits
into
one
of
those,
a
small
business
person
and
then
something
that
includes
either
mwb
or
environment
board.
I
mean
I'd,
be
supportive
of
that,
but
I
just
I
think
those
two
are
what
I'm
looking
for,
because
I
think
every
committee,
you
know,
every
environmental,
you
know
the
environment
board
should
weigh
it.
I
think
on
everything
you
do,
whether
it's
through
the
environment
board
or
character,
so
I
don't
necessarily
need
that
person
to
sit
on
the
committee.
AK
I
just
think
everything
we
do
should
go
through
that
land.
But
that's
those
are
the
two
people
that
we
need
to
at.
This
point
recruit
right,
those
two
folks
to
sit
on
this
committee
like
now,
and
then
you
know
we
can
find
a
way
to
run
our
decisions
through
the
environment.
Potentially,
if
there's
something
that's
of
interest.
AC
A
V
V
A
I
A
AH
V
AH
V
V
Now
the
the
back
spaces,
which
were
kind
of
the
larger
event
space,
is
going
to
be
the
top
golf
golf
simulator
experience
attached
to
the
bars
you
could
drink
a
little
bit.
I
mean
it'd,
be
bar
food
right
yeah,
it's
not
it's
not
going
to
be
rusty.
It
won't
be
a
restaurant
as
well
now
will
they
convert
the
other
remaining
space
to
a
restaurant,
possibly
they're
negotiating
with
other
restaurants.
AC
Art
films
is
just
a
polite
word
for
pornography,
oh
back
in
the
day
when
it
was
in.
Do
you
remember
before
that?
Theater
anyone
ever
played
theater
there
does.
When
we
bought
our
house,
they
were
showing
a
triple
x
film
on
chicago,
so
we
so
the
city
council
was
in
this.
We
were
having
trouble
figuring
out.
AC
AM
AC
AM
V
The
same
size,
yeah
yeah
and
I
don't
know
if
they're
doing
the
leather
seats
and
all
that
stuff
he
said
they
took
the
keys
yesterday
to
the
space
it'll
start
getting
ready
to
open
this.
Here.
I
did
see
two
like
coca-cola
trucks
out
there
today
that
were
like
big
work
trucks
they
weren't
like
delivery
trucks.
So
I'm
thinking
like.
AM
Kelly
had
talked
to
me
about
recently,
which
is,
let's
see
if
they
push
them
harder
to
to
do
something
there
so
we're
on
it.
I
want
to
say
that
right
now
I
don't
have
an
angle
in
terms
of
leverage
for
that
you're
going
to
come
in
for
signage.
You
know
so
you
know
maybe
there's
a
way
we
can
twist
a
little
bit.
AC
I
AC
Was
the
same
and
you
know
it
crept
over?
There
were
times
when
the
big
releases.
You
know
we
were
cracking
over
onto
the
other
side,
but
you
know,
I
think,
showing
them
whatever
demographic
data
that
we
have.
That
shows
like
these
are
the
people
who
go
see
the
indie
films
and
you
will
have
a
market
here
once
again,
it's
just
demonstrating
to
them
that,
like
we
did
with
trader
joe's
we're
all
shopping
at
your
store,
you
know
and
dude
just
for
you
know,
we're
your
customers.
V
They're,
probably
going
to
come
back
at
some
point
to
review
some
kind
of
parking
agreement
with
us.
So
let's,
let's
make
sure
we
keep
this
on
the
front
burner
and
they
tend
to
do
that
they're
also
going
to
come
in
for
signage.
I
I'd
encourage
them
to
think
of
a
new
way
that
they-
maybe
maybe
this
becomes
the
evidence
here
with
particular
evanston.
AH
AN
AC
AK
AC
W
AK
It's
going
to
become
a
lot
more
family-friendly
too.
I
don't
think
any
film
will
make
it
that
I
think
that's
important,
but
I
also
want
to
highlight
that
it
was
important
to
me-
and
I
talked
about
this
during
the
campaign,
though,
that
it
became
more
family
friendly
downtown,
and
that's
certainly
something
that
folks
in
my
kind
of
age
group,
small
children
are
really
excited.
