A
Okay,
everyone
welcome
to
the
july
28th
meeting
of
the
economic
development
committee.
B
I
will
move
to
sustainable
rules
to
allow
us
to
meet
in
half
remotely,
in
accordance
with
the
governor's
executive
order.
C
All
right,
a
member
deacon.
F
A
A
Right,
okay,
the
minutes
are
approved.
I
just
want
to
say
this
evening
that
we
do
have
several
members
of
the
committee
who
have
other
commitments,
so
we
do
want
to
stay
succinct
because
we're
going
to
lose
a
forum
at
some
point.
So
the
first
item
for
consideration-
and
this
is
from
this-
is
not
this
is
not
discussion.
This
is
consideration-
is
the
main
street
and
howard
street
retail
and
food
establishment
pandemic
road
construction
emergency
grants.
G
H
C
H
Eric
young
here
we
have
a
lot
here
to
the
restaurant
and
quite
a
few
other
businesses
on
main
street,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
in
advance
for
considering
the
emergency
grant.
We.
H
H
J
Hi,
I'm
diana
hammond
from
the
wine
goddess.
J
So
I
thought
it
might
be
helpful
to
actually
share
some
numbers
with
you
just
so
it's
not
just
nebulous.
You
know
we're
not
doing
so
hot
for
us.
J
It's
been
since
the
construction
started
on
june
14th,
it's
literally
been
like
a
faucet
has
been
turned
off
and
I
ran
some
numbers
which
I
shared
with
the
mayor
and
some
other
council
members,
and
just
if,
if
you
take,
may
14th
to
june
13
2020
and
then
may
14th
the
day,
construction
started
2021
to
june
sorry
june,
to
july
sorry,
the
same
month
year
over
year,
we're
down
21
000,
and
that
was
during
the
pandemic,
and
that
was
when
we
weren't
even
open
for
in-person
shopping.
We
were
doing
everything
via
phone.
J
Finally,
we
got
our
acts
together
and
put
stuff
online
and
we
were
you
know,
loading
packages
on
a
cart
for
people,
so
you
might
say
to
yourself
well
that
was
during
the
pandemic
and
everybody
was
kind
of
drinking
like
fish,
because
there
wasn't
a
whole
lot
of
other
things
to
do,
and
so
I
ran
the
numbers,
may
14th
to
june
13th
of
this
year
and
then
june
14th
to
july.
J
13Th
of
this
year
and
we're
down
very
close
to
20,
000
and
june,
usually
is
a
big
month
for
us,
especially
you
know
with
outdoor
dining
scenario,
and
one
thing
that
I
wanted
to,
I
should
say
june
is
usually
a
whole
lot
better
than
than
may.
But
one
thing
that
I
wanted
to
say
you
know
about
what
you.
K
J
Eric
was,
we
were
planning
on
having
this
big
kind
of
you
know
come
back
at
our
mojo
back
style
of
the
summer,
and
we
were
the
the
one
thing
you
know
you
can't
construction.
This
construction
needs
to
happen
this.
You
know
100
year
project,
though
I
would
argue,
couldn't
it
have
been
a
105
year
project
coming
off
the
heels
of
a
100
year
pandemic.
J
That's
it
it's
a
very
real
financial
situation.
For
us,
I've
had
hot
fire
half
my
staff
in
the
form
of
the
gals
who
worked
for
me
outside
for
the
custer
oasis,
because
we
have
indeed
shut
that
section
down
that
broke
my
heart,
they're
great
people,
they're
evanstonians,
all
of
them,
so
I
guess
that
yeah
we're
really
hurting
on
main
street.
Thank
you.
C
I'm
assuming
that's
miss
payton,
but
tina.
Would
you
like
to
speak
about
the
main
street
howard
or
ms.
D
L
Thank
you.
I
didn't
really
read
the
agenda
I
just
signed
on,
so
I
just
hope
that
when
they're
doing
main
street
I
I'm.
D
L
From
what
from
where
to
where
I'm
about
to.
L
Yes,
oh
okay,
yeah
all
right.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they're
considerate
about
the
business
and
property
owners
over
there
when
they
did
the
howard
street
project
before
they
were
very
professional
and
obnoxious
with
workers
and
they
put
a
port-a-potty
on
my
lawn.
L
C
C
September
and
members
of
the
committee
and
thank
you,
miss
hammond
and
mr
young
for
sharing
your
thoughts,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
council
members
for
putting
a
meeting
together.
I
think.
C
Week,
thursday
and
10
a.m
kicked
off
a
really
long
day
on
main
street
learning
from
the
businesses
and
their
struggles.
So
from
from
those
meetings
and
from
the
input
we
received
on
the
calls,
staff
came
up
with
a
recommendation
which
is
fairly
unique
for
us,
because
we
do
have
some
legal
constraints
about
how
we
address
construction
related
business
losses.
C
C
And
by
the
way,
I'll
look
forward
to
some
questions,
I'm
sure
I'm
glossing
over
some
things
that
that
we
talked
about
last
week,
but
these
two
projects
have
been
very
invasive.
They
stripped
the
street
of
parking.
I
mean
it's
a
natural
part
of
what
happens
in
construction,
especially
when
you're
doing
water
mains
and
it's
also
an
uninviting
uninviting
environment
and
it's
keeping
people
away
from
the
business
district.
C
So
what
staff
is
suggesting
is
a
kind
of
once
really
once
in
a
lifetime
kind
of
grant,
a
program
that
I've
suggested
and
I'm
looking
for
feedback
from
the
committee
and
also
a
recommendation
of
the
city
council
and
I'm
scaling.
C
On
things,
I've
heard
from
these
two
businesses
and
others
somewhere
in
the
range
of
up
to
fifty
thousand
dollars,
I
put
a
range
of
twenty
five
to
fifty
just
depends
on
how
we
want
to
consider
it.
You
know
we've
heard
from
some
businesses
that
they've
lost
fifty
thousand
dollars
over
two
month
period,
or
they.
B
C
C
If
you
have
a
doctor's
appointment,
you
kind
of
have
to
go
to
your
doctor
and
you'll
find
a
way
to
park,
and
I'm
not
trying
to
gloss
over
the
fact
that
it's
inconvenient,
I'm
just
saying,
there's
a
different
level
of
commitment
to
seeing
a
doctor
or
chiropractor
or
others,
and
also
our
retail
and
food
establishments,
are
under
immense
pressure
from
other
business
districts
from
the
internet
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So.
C
C
Get
more
auto
oriented
and
chains
and
then
on
main
street,
it's
really
the
extent
of
the
construction
project,
it's
hinman
to
sherman
and
then
also
that
that
block
and
that
hair
black
determined
north
of
maine.
One
last
thing
that
I
really
do
want
to
wrap
thinking
of
creative
ways
to
fund
this.
We
discussed
this
with
our
businesses.
We
discussed
it
with
several
elected
officials
in
our
calls
we're
trying
to
be
creative.
You
know
some
of
the
suggestions
I've
put
forth
is:
maybe
we
do
a
sales
tax
sharing
a
liquor
tax
share.
C
C
C
So
liquor
license
business
registration,
good
establishment.
Some
of
these
fees
are
pretty
low,
but
your
liquor
license.
You
know
it's
relatively
expensive:
okay,
they're,
we've
already
reimbursed
for
the
one
barrier
installation.
I
don't
know
if
there
are
others
that
we
can
reimburse
for.
If,
if
there's.
B
C
Business
that
has
some
serious
requirements
for
kind
of,
maybe
retrofit
the
air
conditioning
or
something
to
fit
helicopter
reality.
Maybe
we
can
contribute
tip
to
that.
That's.
M
C
C
The
business
but
we'll
have
to
plan
that
out
with
a
it's
kind
of
a
capital
project
with
tiff,
and
then
you
know
I
I'm
not
so
sure
this
is
how
we
want
to
spend
arca.
I
feel
like
this
would
be
a
time
expense.
I
really
think
we
need
to
focus
we'll
talk
about
this
later.
Our
american
rescue
plan
act
needs
to
be
an
investment.
I
feel
yes,
investing
in
the
businesses
to
retain
them
is
important,
because,
if
they're
not
able
to
pay
the
bills
are
gonna
leave
us.
C
So
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
that
balance,
but
I
think
the
other
ways
I
propose
are
probably
stronger.
I've
also
outlined
an
application
process
very
simple
web
form.
It
looks
like
I
have
five
questions
on
it
and
I
understand
from
some
of
the
businesses
that,
because
they're
already
reporting
their
income
to
the
city
for
sales
tax
and
things
that
there's
a
willingness
to
share
the
income
statements,
so
we
can
verify
how
much
it
actually
was.
C
So
that
may
be
a
little
longer
than
I
anticipated
that
I
really
wanted
to
kind
of
stress
why
we're
doing
it?
So
I
would
yield
back
to
you.
C
F
A
We
did
not
do
the
city
has
never
done
business,
interruption,
reimbursement
or
payment
for
any
construction
project,
so
fountain
square.
I
think
there
are
some
rumors
that
enso
received
money,
but
it
was
not
from
the
city.
It
may
have
received
them
directly
from
the
contractor,
but
it
was
I
checked
with
laura
biggs
and
dave
stoneback
and
it
did
not
complement
the
city
and
they
just
received
some.
C
Yeah,
we
would
need
some
legal
advice
on
that,
but
what.
C
E
C
These
individuals,
weren't
able
to
prepare
for
this
construction
project
which
they
knew
was
coming,
is
because
the
pandemic
decimated
their
revenues.
So
I
think
you
know
I
I
think
I'd
like
to
think
that
that's
a
strong
case
there
may
be
a
legal
precedent
against
it,
we'll
test
it
before
we
launch
it
with
our
legal
department,
but
we
haven't
done
that
yet
because
we
want
to
get
the
framework
set
up.
First,
protect
the
legality
and
then
launch
city
council.
O
So
I
think
that
the
you
know
the
harp
of
funding
or
the
arpa
program
is
kind
of
the
rationale
for
for
doing
this,
but
I
I
tend
to
look
at
the
sales
tax
you
know.
Sharing
is
probably
the
better
vehicle
for
for
providing
the
funds,
because
it
really
you
know,
gives
back.
You
know
you
know
directly
to
what
they're
generating
in
terms
of
business
and
with
respect
to
the
the
application
process.
O
You
know
the
financial
statements
is,
as
I
think
was
pointed
out,
you're
getting
reports
on
sales
tax
generation
anyway,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
that
documentation
would
be
sufficient
or
if
you
really
need
to
delve
into
more
comprehensive
financial
documents.
That
would
be
something
to
look
at
further.
So
those
are
my
comments.
J
The
only
thing
that
I
would
add
to
that
is
we
my
business
and
eric's
business.
We
only
pay
six
percent
labor
tax
on
the
liquor.
G
F
J
J
B
There's
no
doubt
that
the
construction
is
has
been
terribly
disruptive
and
and
quite
the
pain
for
all
businesses
on
main
street.
B
So
we
need
to
be
clear
that
we're
not
setting
a
precedent
going
forward
in
a
regular
old
year
that
if
we
do
a
project
on
dempster
street-
and
you
know,
the
customers
go
into
village
farm
stand
have
a
hard
time.
A
Well,
and
actually
we
do
have
president
right
on
main
street
and
on
denser
on
dempster.
There
was
a
massive
project
to
replace
the
viaduct
there
that
the
cta
had
and
we
worked
with
the
businesses
there.
The
street
was
closed
for
chunks
of
time,
and
so
we
did
not
do
business
compensation
there
and
then
main
street
all
through
maine
and
chicago
three
of
those
corners
have
been
developed
in
the
last
20
years
and
the
most
recent
one
is
the
south
east
corner
the
the
building
there
and
that
that
severely
disrupted
those
businesses
on
that
side.
A
So
I
I
do
think
in
this
instance.
We
can
distinguish
it
because
it
is
following
the
cova
year
toward
coming
out,
but
to
say
that
you
know
it's
just
too
much
to
expect
this
is
to
weather.
You
know
a
pandemic
here
and
then
construction.
A
A
So
so
paul,
what
do
you
well
also
do
we
have
any
comments
from
our
virtual
members.
A
No
thank
you,
okay,
so
I
do
think
paul.
I
also
think
that
the
I
agree
with
remember
linworld,
that
we
we
have
a
history
of
sales,
tax,
sharing
improvements
in
evanston
from
the
home
depot
project
autobarn
and
a
number
of
others
that
we
have
done
sales
tax
sharing,
even
though
it's
actually
reimbursement,
but
but
what
we
actually
did
to
sharing
it
over
over
time.
C
C
D
D
I
have
from
I
guess
I
could
do
this.
C
But
I
want
to
make
sure
that
many
members
know
I
could
do
this
offline,
but
I've
thought
of
it,
as
you
know,
will
reimburse
you
future
revenues.
But
it
struck
me
as
I
was
sitting
here
and
that's
not
going
to
solve
the
wine
goddesses
problem
because
you
had
to
lay
people
up
and
you
were
going
to
put
your
chairs
on
ebay.
C
If
there's
a
way
that
we
can
just
literally
take
it
from
the
existing
sales
tax
funds,
that's
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
versus
waiting
for
this
hymn
to
generate
taxes
and
reimbursement,
because
that
that's
going
to
take
you
know
is
that
going
to
take
two
more
months
to
generate
that
level
of
sales
tax
to
pay
yourself
back
for
six
months.
So
that's
something
that
I
think
we
have
to
be
strategic.
A
About
yeah,
I
I
think
you
have
to
talk.
We
have
to
talk
to
corporation
council
to
make
sure
that
there
isn't
some
aspect
of
illinois
law
that
says
once
you've
got
it,
you
should
never
give
it
back.
So
you
know
just
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
power
to
do
that.
But
I'd
say
we
probably
have
a
lot
of
leeway
in
terms
of
how
we
collect
our
sales
tax
and
when
we
do
it,
so
we
are
home.
So.
E
O
D
O
B
C
E
C
O
O
A
Okay
right
so
I
mean
the
sales
tax
sharing.
Yes,
the
right
we're
sharing
our
sales
tax,
but
reimbursement
is,
is
more
of
what
we're
specifically
talking
about
here,
because
it
reimbursement
is
retrospective
versus
prospective,
which
is
your
point
of
all
right
that
it
would
take
a
long
time
to
make
them
make
that
up.
A
D
C
Yeah
so.
C
And
I
didn't
get
to
that,
but
I
would
estimate
there's
on
those
two
stretches
that
we
discussed
there's
someone
in
the
range
of
15
12
to
15
businesses
that
were
qualified.
C
A
G
C
Now
that's
a
good
point
in
addition
to
the
fact
that
some
of
the
businesses
again
I'll
use,
stitch
work
and
she
was
really
critical
of
this
conversation
last
week.
Her
revenues
are
much
lower
than
eric
diaz
right
so
that
12
businesses
times
50.
That
would
be
the
extreme
maximum.
It's
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
lower
than
that
and,
like
you
said,.
D
N
G
P
A
F
Well,
one
additional
question:
you
noted
there
was
talk
of
as
this
construction
moves
forward
and
creating
doing
some
place
making
of
that
customer,
and
I
recall
seeing
early
renderings
that
that
was
part
of
early
thinking
for
the
construction
project.
Is
that
still
included
in
the
construction,
the
scope
of
the
construction
over
there
or
no.
C
I
don't
I
don't
really
call
it
a
customer
away.
I
think.
H
Yeah
with
the
streetscape,
so
my
storefront
the
grade
they
have
to
completely,
they
can't
bring
the
sidewalk
down.
They
can't
lift
the
street
up,
so
they
have
to
build
a
stairway
to
get.
There
are
some
flowers,
and
sometimes
there
is
that
we
were
referring
to.
I
think,
because
that
was
a
part
of
the
original
streetscape
plan,
but
that
was
only
the
corner
itself.
H
F
Just
wondering
is
a
part
of
the
construction
there.
Obviously
the
businesses
have
done
something
to
you
know
to
do
some
outdoor
dining,
but
a
rendering
that
I
saw
as
a
part
of
that
proposal.
Process
included
placemaking
on
custer,
recognizing
that
there
was
something
that
could
happen
there
and
I
didn't
unders.
I
didn't
know
if
that
is
now
part
of
the
scope
of
the
construction
or
if
that
fell.
C
It's
not
in
the
scope
of
the
next
phase
of
the
construction,
so
I'm
suggesting
is
that
I'm
not
sure
if
that
construction
is
happening
next
year.
B
C
Right
so
then
we
can.
What
we'll
do
is
we'll
add
on
to.
That
is
what
I
would
suggest
and
we
have
to
balance
to
help
create
happiness.
O
O
I
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
a
little
more
explanation,
paul
as
to
why
staff
or
you
who
are
not
recommended,
we
use
our
money
or
cautioning-
that
we
not
use
our
money
in
this
situation.
C
C
C
N
C
Monday
that
presented
a
framework
but
technically
councilmember
you're
right.
We
have.
We
have
the
ability,
as
a
community,
to
spend
that
money.
It's
there
waiting
for
us
to
spend.
We
just
haven't,
as
a
community
decided
what
the
mechanisms
are
going
to
be
again
if,
if
we're
scaling,
if,
if
we're
going
to
stick
with
the
buckets
that
the
city
and
I'll
talk
about
this
in
a
few
minutes,
but
the
you
know
for
the
city
manager
had
presented
a
breakdown
of
of
the
arpa
funding
and
5
million
incomes
to
economic
development.
N
C
The
of
the
alpha
money
for
academic
development-
maybe
it
is
that's,
that's
up
to
you,
but
technically
it's
a
perfect
use,
I'm
thinking!
We
need
to
invest
it.
This
will
be
money
to
invest
in
retaining
businesses,
but
it's
a
one-time,
spend
we'll,
never
see
it
again
other
than
the
fact
that
we
see
our
lovely
businesses
open
every
day.
B
I
think
the
timing
issue
is
is
very
relevant
here
and
our
funding.
I
think
we
owe
it
to
the
community
to
have
a
process,
and
it's
going
to
take
time
to
figure
out
to
establish
that
process
and
then
implement
that
process
and
the
businesses
on
main
street
at
howard
street
need
the
assistance
sooner
rather
than
later.
B
A
Yeah
I
mean
this
is
something
that
that
I
agree
with
council
members,
but
this
is
something
that
we
can
do
fairly
rapidly.
I
would
think-
and
I
think
the
open
discussion
is
going
to
take
a
little
bit
longer,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it
applies
equitably
across
all
of
our
businesses
and
then
figure
out
what
are
what's,
what's
going
to
be
the
universe
of
what
we
want
to
spend
money
on
and
understand
what
that
is
before
we
start
spending
it.
But
here
we
have
a
mechanism
that
we
can
use
immediately.
O
D
C
Yeah
we
need
a
motion
to
what
I
would
ask
is
that
a
motion
to
approve
a
recognition
to
the
council.
A
O
Or
presentation
to
the
city
council
for
a
business
impact
grant
that
focuses
primarily
on
in
terms
of
funding
sources
like
use
of
sales,
tax
sales
and
liquor
tax,
waiving
fees
potentially
using
economic
development
of
funding
and
creating
an
application
process
that
focuses
on
either
the
financial
statements
or
sales
and
liquor
tax
reports
to
the
city
or
presentation
to
the
city
council.
I
think
I've
said
that
twice.
P
D
A
C
E
A
A
K
Good
evening
sherwin
members
of
the
academic
development
clinium
and
hopefully
the
director
of
donald
trump,
understand
and
tonight,
I'm
here
to
ask
that
you
advocate,
on
behalf
of
the
business
community
of
evidence,
to
invest
the
5.5
million
dollars
that
was
identified
in
a
memo
and
presentation
shared
at
london
city
council
meeting,
which
was
ultimately
based
on
feedback
from
community
child
hall
meetings
to
be
allocated
for
economic
development
programs,
strategies,
policies
and
activities
which
will
improve
the
academic
well-being.
D
L
Ahead,
ms
paige
all
right,
thank
you.
So,
of
course,
I'm
advocating
for
small
landlords,
minority
landlords.
L
As
you
know,
this
saturday
will
be
the
end
of
the
moratorium
on
evictions
and
I
believe
the
city
is
not
taking
this
seriously
and
the
landlords
like
myself
and
carlos
sutton
is
on
the
line.
Hopefully
he
will
speak
as
well.
We
are
not
getting
help.
Every
business
in
this
city
gets
help,
except
for
the
landlord
we're
providing
affordable
units
and
we
get
a
kick
in
the
bus
for
a
cold
violation.
L
That
you
will
landlords
need
help.
We
have.
Some
of
our
tenants
have
not
paid
rent
going
forward
when
this
eviction
moratorium
is
over.
We
have
a
problem
with
future
renting,
which.
D
L
L
L
I'm
gonna
say
it
at
every
meeting
possible.
We
need
help,
just
like
you,
consider
these
businesses
for
fifty
thousand
dollars,
you're
telling
saying
that
they
should
get
money
right
away.
I've
been
asking
for
years
now
it's
a
pandemic,
which
is
even
more
serious.
So
if
you're
concerned
about
affordable
housing
once
again,
then
you
need
to
invest
in
your
landlords,
and
this
is
a
business
too
and
we're
bleeding
right
now.
L
A
A
Else
on
the
the
zoom
column,
who
would
like
to
speak
as
public
comment.
C
So
for
the
zoomers,
I
am
going
to
try
to
operate
this
on
shared
screen
mode.
C
So
you
can
see
it,
and
I
know
how
to
do
that.
I'm
just
trying
to
find
the
right.
E
C
C
That
I
prepared
for
the
last
committee
and
but.
C
I'm
gonna
move
very
quickly.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
time.
In
fact,
I
think
we
committed
to
ending
this
meeting
at
8
15.,
so
I
want
to
quickly
get.
C
Tonight,
I'm
hopeful
that
you
will
take
away
that
we
have
a
strong
team
in
place
to
continue
the
work.
We've
already
started,
the
ssas,
the
merchant
groups,
all
the
things
we've
done
over
the
last
the
10
years.
I've
been
on
staff
and
prior
to
that,
you
all
know
this.
I
don't
have
to
remind
you,
but
recovery
is
going
to
be
difficult.
It
has
been
difficult.
C
It's
going
to
require
leadership
and
openness
to
change,
we're
seeing
that
develop,
I'm
recommending
we
invest
in
our
economic
well-being
and
again
I
I'm
going
to
focus
a
lot
on
workforce
workforce
workforce.
We,
I
don't
think
we
we
do
enough
of
that
in
this
community.
There's
probably
a
number
of
reasons
why?
But
I
think
we
really
need
to
start
focusing
on
that
and
we'll
get
into
that
later.
E-Commerce
isn't
going
anywhere.
C
We
are
going
to
be
feeling
that
competitive
pressure
from
from
e-commerce
forever.
So
we
need
to
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
to
rebuild,
and
how
are
we
going
to
compete
in
that
environment?
And
I
argue
that
our
kind
of
built-in
natural
environment
is
our
comparative
advantage.
The
economic
concept
of
how
do
we
compete
against
our
competitors,
so
we
should
be
really
showcasing
that
so
to
really
increase
the
quality
of
life
for
our
community
members,
attract
more
visitors
and
have
an
easier
time
keeping
our
workers
in
place.
C
I
promise
I
would
go
quick
and
I
know
I
hung
on
that
slide
for
probably
too
long,
but
those
are
the
things
I
really
want
you
to
focus
on
the
pandemic.
Retail
apocalypse
totally
expedited
it
e-commerce
again,
it's
killing
us
we've
got
to
come
up
with
a
way
to
address
it.
We
think
that
there
was
going
to
be
a
physical
aftermath
to
this.
We
think
people
are
going
to
be
spread
out
a
little
more
and
it's
going
to
be
slow
to
come
back.
C
People
are
going
to
want
to
be
outside
doing
the
things
we've
already
seen
them
doing.
So
that's
why
bookmen's
alley
is
an
important
new
amenity,
collectivo's
patio,
who
would
have
ever
thought
when
the
city
council
approved
the
expansion
of
the
permanent
outdoor
cafes,
how
important
that
little
coffee
shop
patio
would
be.
We
talked
about
the
customer
oasis
already
and
then
we
know
that
coping
19
has
really
exposed
the
inequalities
in
our
community
and
across
the
country.
C
From
our
economic
development
mindset,
where
we're
focused
on
growth
and
talk
more
about
the
well-being
of
our
community,
and
that
goes
again
into
the
workforce,
development,
financial
wellness
initiatives
that
we've
already
launched,
but
I
also
argue
that
we
need
to
think
about
affordable
housing
as
not
a
regulatory
issue,
but
also
an
economic
well-being
and
economics
challenge
and
then
continue
to
do
the
technical
assistance
program
that
we've
been
known
to
do
and
then
again
that
comparative
advantage.
How
do
we
make
this?
C
Impressive
place
to
visit
I'll
stop
there
because
it
was
about
to
share
an
adjective
that
would
distract
us
so
post-pandemic,
it's
not
just
about
development
and
growth.
Again,
I
want
to
talk
more
and
more
about
this
idea
of
supporting
our
standard
of
living
really
establishing
the
definition
you
look
at.
I
pulled
this
from
a
from
a
text
that
I
refer
to
often
it
establishes
a
minimum
standard
of
living
for
all
and
increases
the
standard
over
time.
It
reduces
inequality
and
it
promotes
and
encourages
sustainable
resource
use
and
production.
C
I
think
we
all
have
it
in
our
hearts
and
every
day
as
elected
officials
and
staff,
we
want
to
do
this
for
our
community.
I
don't
necessarily
think
we
plan
for
it
very
well,
and
we
certainly
haven't
yet
combined
our
economic
development
initiatives
and
plans
with
this
climate
action
resilience
fund
that
we
talked
about
so.
D
D
C
C
Civil
rights
movement
pandemic,
e-commerce,
changing
us
forever
and
evanston
is
a
desirable
place
again.
I'm
just
reinforcing
those
over
and
over
again.
Okay,
we're
back
to
invest,
not
spend
five
things.
I
want
to
talk
about
briefly
shifting
to
an
economic
vitality
model,
a
built
here
by
us
kind
of
workforce
strategy.
C
Report
again,
I'm
not
reading
all
of
these
focus
on
the
economic
well-being.
Let's
update
our
model
talk
a
little
bit
about
as
we
go
on.
I
introduced
this
concept.
Last
year
I
have
an
intern
from
northwestern
university
who's.
Helping
me
it's
a
circular
model,
but
the
idea
is:
let's
operate
in
the
light
green
area,
which
is
where
we
are
building
our
economic
mission
on
a
strong
social
foundation,
caring
about
things
like
gender
equality,
housing,
water,
food,
etc.
C
N
C
Evidence
infrastructure
of
tomorrow
who's
going
to
build
all
this
stuff,
and
that's
where
I
say
it's
going
to
be
built
here
by
us.
We
have
no
excuses.
We
have
an
unemployment
rate
that
is
better
than
the
nation
better
than
the
state,
but
it's
still
significant.
It's
around,
I
think
around
seven
percent
bill
smith's
on
the
line.
You
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
and.
C
Can
help
with
a
workforce
development
program
that
will
implement
the
sidewalks,
the
water
sewer,
the
future
electric
vehicle
charging
station,
all
the
things
that
are
going
to
be
required
to
keep
this
community
going.
We
should
be
building
them
here.
We
should
not
be
having
lowest
that
kind
of
contracts
that
whole.
C
They
don't
want
to
be
provincial,
but
there's
an
opportunity
to
go
local
with
that
lots
of
business
district
improvement
opportunities.
Ms
coakley
talked
about
the
need
to
make
sure
that
we
stay
focused
on
that.
I
know.
We've
invested
a
lot
in
fountain
square
at
six
million
dollars,
but
we
can't
sit
back.
We
have
to
continue
to
reinvent
people
really
like
going
to
old
orchard.
It's
a
it's
a
mall,
it's
a
manufactured
kind
of
environment,
but
it's
really
nice
and
there's.
C
People
just
hanging
out
there
not
necessarily
shopping
every
store
but
enjoying
the
environment.
I
think
we
could
have
an
authentic
experience
here
requires.
Some
plan
requires
really
some
outside
somebody
holding
a
mirror
to
us
and
helping
us
see
what
we
need.
Sometimes
we
get
a
little
too.
You
know
forced
through
the
trees.
I
don't
know
if
I'm
mixing
that
in
the
floor,
but
we
really
need
I.
I
would
recommend
some
other
side
help
for
that
I'll
review,
all
of
our
land
use
policies
and
we
have
multiple
outdated
plans,
including
that
west
evanston
overlay.
C
And
updated
the
code
to
allow
for
ground
floor
service
uses
in
d
districts,
which
is
really
important
as
we
shift
away
from
retail
in
some
of
these
locations
again,
we
need
to
start
thinking
about
those
more
deeply
and
then
the
the
task
force
plan
we
presented
last
recorded
six
months
ago,
lots
and
lots
of
recommendations
and
plans
in
there.
That
group
is
going
to
work
on
prioritizing
the
ones
that
provide
support,
I'm
not
going
to
spend
much
time
with
this.
C
C
The
recommended
prior
priority
uses
that
were
presented
to
the
city
council
includes
this
middle
bullet,
which
is
stimulating
economic
recovery,
but
I
think,
instead
of
thinking
in
silos
or
buckets,
I
tried
to
use
a
metaphor
earlier
that
described
a
platter
where
you
have
a
comprehensive
meal
and
you're
getting
it
all
together
and
not
being
the
one
thing
first,
and
this
is
the
second
and
second,
because
everything
is
inter
interrelated.
We
can't
workforce
development
is
going
to
fall
in
social
services
as
much
as
economic
development.
C
Child
care
is
going
to
be.
Social
services
can
be
education,
it's
going
to
be
infrastructure
because
we
have
to
build
the
spaces
for
it,
but
it's
also
economic,
because
we
need
to
get
women
back
into
the
workforce
directly
from
react
is
stimulating
economic
recovery,
child
care,
development
of
affordable
housing.
C
C
That
perhaps
one
of
the
tools
we
could
use
would
be
called
for
this
purpose
we're
calling
it
the
e-riff
the
evanston
recovery
investment
fund.
You
take
the
five
million
dollars.
You
have
the
application
process.
We
outline
the
child
care,
workforce,
small
business
recovery,
hospitality
industry
from
the
act
and
in
a
moment
we'll
go
over
some
of
the
ideas
and
get
some
feedback
from
the
committee,
but.
C
C
D
E
C
C
C
N
D
C
C
Umbrella,
it
took
a
little
longer
than
I
spent
10
minutes.
What
I
would
like
to
do,
I
think,
did
you
work
on
two
things
in
the
committee
format.
C
One
is
to
bring
up
kind
of
a
sample
list
of
projects
and
then
also
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
funding
mechanism
that
we
could
the
things
that
we
care
about.
What
is
the
return
on
investment
measures
that
I've
heard
council
member
reid
talk
about,
so
I'm
gonna,
it's
gonna
be
a
little
clunky
here,
while
I
shift
to
my
spreadsheet
so
bear
with
me,
and
while
I'm
doing
that,
if
there
are
any
questions,
I
would
ask
I
would
ask
chair
chairwind
to
entertain
a
question
or
too
long
to
join.
A
A
Over
the
years-
but
this
is
haven't-
had
the
money
to
do
that.
So
this
actually
is
this
pop
of
money
that
actually
we
can
use
now
for
many
of
the
ideas,
but
I
think
certainly
as
as
paul
was
saying,
the
pandemic
has
revealed
her
exposed
a
lot
of
in
effort.
So
you
need
to
keep
that
in
mind
as
well,
and
I
really
like
all
your
framing
of
this
as
not
spending
but
investment,
because
we
won't
get
these
dollars
again.
P
So
well,
I
have
a
ton
of
thoughts
but,
like
I
don't
know,
because
I
wasn't
part
of
all
the
conversations
like
this
is
a
repeat
but
just
making
evanston
a
destination
like
you
said.
So
what
are?
Why
would
people
come
here
and
it's
the
lane
right?
That's
what's
different
and
you
don't
walk
through
evansville
and
think
like.
Oh,
this
is
a
lake
community
at
all,
but
you
know
I
went
to.
I
think
I
went
to
breckenridge
small
and
you
felt
it
like
right.
P
There's
something
in
the
spice
house
and
I'm
sure
there's
many
many
more
like
great
gems
of
evanston
that
maybe
that
neighborhood
only
knows,
and
that
could
help-
and
I
know
so
things
to
do
at
the
lakefront.
I
don't
know
if
we've
ever
investigated
like
making
that
a
marina
at
all
or
yes,
we
did
12
years
ago.
P
B
I'll
mention
the
need
to
do
whatever
we
can
to
promote
having
to
spend
as
a
destination
for
arts
and
entertainment.
So
we
can
bring
folks
in
to
patronize
the
bars
and
restaurants
when
they
are
done.
Seeing
a
show
or
visiting
an
art
exhibit
or
we
give
them
a
reason
to
come
to
town,
not
just
to
go
to
dinner
right.
M
F
To
your
point,
a
couple
of
areas
that
resonate
with
me,
one
is
thinking
about
the
catalan
catalytic
opportunities
paul,
and
I
think
that
you
know
you
sort
of
mentioned
those,
and
I
see
I
see
a
few
opportunities
there.
One
is
bringing
the
lifeline
theorists.
F
I
know
north
light
theater
because
it's
to
your
point
right
of
bringing
people
in
and
then
you
capture
them
and
you
capture
that
those
spending
dollars
yeah,
you
know
two
would
be
moving
the
farmers
market
from
you
know
the
parking
lot
to
the
middle
of
town
to
those
folks
come
into
the
farmers.
F
So,
looking
at
those
catalytic
opportunities
getting
the
movie
theater
back
up
and
running,
because
that
is
such
a
huge
loss
so
and
so
so
beyond
catalytic
opportunities.
The
other
thing
that
I
would
talk
about
is
sort
of
place
making.
I
think,
that's
incredibly
important
and
paul
to
your
point
of
you
know,
leveraging
our
natural
and
our
built
environment.
I
don't
think
we're
doing
that
right
now.
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
more
creative
in
in
what
I
would
call
place
making.
So
you
know
the
rendering.
F
We
saw
for
bookman
valley,
I
was
like
yahoo,
that's
exactly
what
we
need
to
be
doing.
I
think
you
know
the
I
think.
Last
year
I
sent
around
a
picture
of
what
colectivo
did
in
milwaukee
to
do
placemaking,
and
we
need
to
be
thinking
we
need
to
be
pushing.
We
need
to
be
more
creative.
I
would
like
to
see
to
see
something
happening
with
at
the
lagoon
that
underutilized
building
there
that's
place,
making
that
provides
that
sense
of
identity.
D
F
Sense
of
self
it
brings
people
in
it
gives
them
a
reason
to
be
here
and
gives
us
something,
because,
as
great
as
evanston
is
in
paul
to
your
point,
we
need
to
know
how
special
we
are.
I
think
we've
gotten
complacent
and
when
I
go
to
places
like
naperville
or
the
north
shore
or
out
of
ton
of
these
other
areas,
their
commercial
corridors
are
more
vibrant
and
I
understand
that
we're
competing
with
old
orchard.
But.
F
B
With,
in
addition
to
adding
new
amenities
to
do
this
placement,
we
have
to
maintain
the
infrastructure
that
we
have
now
and
I've
gotten
a
lot
of
feedback
from
residents
in
the
fourth
ward
that
are
not
happy
with
the
way
downtown
looks
and
feels
yeah.
P
F
H
I
think
there's
two
different:
we
were
less
well
positioned
economically
to
weather
pandemic
than
all
of
our
neighbors,
because
the
daytime
office,
population
and
northwestern
are
such
key
economic
writers.
So
I'm
not
bothered
at
all
that
we
sort
of
look
more
like
hell.
We
have
a
pandemic
that,
I
think,
was
totally
predictable.
H
H
I
mean
even
even
fountain
square,
which
has
a
lot
to
recommend
it.
It's
cut
in
the
middle
by
this
relatively
fast
region.
So,
if
you're
sitting
near
the
urine
of
the
additives,
you
can't
remove
your
conversation
very
well.
I
think
there's
a
whole
and
I'm
not
expert
in
exactly
where
the
right
solutions
are,
but
I
don't
believe
that
our
downtown
is
built
to
your
point
to
be
a
place
that
is
welcoming
on
the
human
scale
for
pedestrians.
H
A
Yeah,
I
I'll
say,
as
someone
who's
been
here
for
a
long
time.
I
raised
the
issue
of
the
one-way
streets
a
long
time
ago,
because
that
was-
and
I
see
the
hands.
Thank
you
jonathan.
His
friends
told
me
that
their
hands,
but
you
can,
you
can
see
when
cities
did
that,
and
it
was
something
in
the
early
70s.
M
A
Completely
forgot
about
the
idea
that
there's
a
destination
there
and
a
number
of
years
ago
I
raised
it
with
our
traffic
engineer
and
said:
how
do
we
undo
that?
And
at
that
point
it
was
so
such
a
big
task
that
he
said
you
know
we
can't
do
that.
But
but
it
is
a
point
I
mean
back,
then
we
simply
didn't
have
the
funds,
but
here's
an
opportunity
to
do
that.
A
D
A
Out
in
maryland,
this
dc
area
this
weekend
and
howard
county,
which
40
years
ago
was
farms
now
has,
and
it
was
planned.
It
was
like
columbia
and
restaurant
in
virginia
and
what
they
do
is
they
build
town
centers
and
what
they're
trying
to
recreate
is
evanston
they're.
What
we
have
here-
and
you
know
you
see
it
in
all
these
places-
that
people
go
to
that
for
vacation.
They
like
georgetown
and
dc.
They.
M
A
Charleston
and
they
they
like
boston
because
of
his
walkability
and
we've
already
got
that.
So
that's
actually
we
need
to
re-emphasize
that
about
our
you
can
come
to
our
downtown
and
and
stroll
and
find
one
thing
after
another.
What's
down
that
block
and
what's
down
that
black
and
oh,
I
see
the
lake
over
there.
A
D
A
The
number
of
northwestern
students
that
you
know
are
ubiquitous
and
you
don't
realize
how
many
there
are
until
they're
gone
and
then
all
of
those
businesses
that
they
supported
with
the
laws
that
the
10
000
office
workers
went
under.
Whereas
our
business.
A
That
that
didn't
necessarily
depend
on
them.
I
know
I'm
talking
a
long
time
like
the
maine
dumpster
mile
and
central
street
and
some
of
our
others.
They
don't
look
like
the
downtown
ones,
so
you
have
to
first
of
all
attract
those
office
workers
back
because
they're
really
key
for
the
daytime
life
and
then
the
northwestern
students
are
always
going
to
be
there,
but
I
think
the
office
workers
will
come
back
though.
A
Well,
that's
a
big
word
as
to
whether
whether
they
will
or
not,
because
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
tongue
on
the
part
of
millennials
to
say
they
like
looking
from
home
more
than
made
back,
and
so
we
have
to
find
something
done
about
that.
I
Yes,
you
know
I'll
go.
I
For
are
projects
that
the
private
market
will
not
fund.
I
think
we
need
to
be
very
careful.
You
know
someone
who
is
going
from
one
industry
to
another
into
agriculture
and
everybody
likes
low
interest,
no
interest
money
right,
and
so
I
think
you
need
to
be
careful.
The
private
market
will
fund
projects
that
are
applying
for
our
money.
We
should
let
you
fund
it,
so
that
not
only
can
we
bring
those
important
things
to
the
community,
but
we
can.
I
We
can
do
additional
work,
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
be
very
careful
there.
Everybody
wants,
you
know
low
interest
or
no
interest
money,
and
you
know
one
thing
that
I
have
coming
to
to
the
economic
development
committee
soon
is
to
use
part
of
the
money.
I
So
in
the
fifth
ward,
it's
it's
a
strip
on
emerson,
street
and-
and
you
know
it's
right
across
the
street-
from
a
senior
center
and
because
of
the
wires
and
other
circumstances.
I
Development
has
really
been
non-existent
and
we
haven't
been
able
to
do
any
better
for
our
seniors
in
our
community
and
other
residents
in
the
area
than
a
convenience
store.
That
sells.
You
know
chips
and
you
know
different
bureau
and
you
know
fast
food,
restaurants
and
that's
really
it.
It
was
a
bus
company
and
other
things
that
that
you
know
are
great
businesses,
but
I
think
we.
N
I
There
that
if
we
were
able
to
underground
those
wires,
we
can
add
some
green
space
right
across
the
street
for
our
seniors
at
jacob
lake
manor
and
some
nice
commercial
options
for
them.
So
I
think
that's
a
good
example
of
something
that
would
not
happen
if
not
for
public
funding,
and
so
I
think
those
are
the
opportunities
that
that
we
really
need
to
pursue
especially
early
on,
and
I
absolutely
you
know,
will
support
planning,
good
economy
as
a
planning
is
another
thing.
I
That
would
not
happen
if
not
for
public
funding,
so
I
just
wanted
to
add
those
comments.
Thank
you.
A
Councilmember
burns,
I
I
think
you're
absolutely
right
in
terms
of
you
when
you
look
at
the
map
of
where
those
high
tension
wires.
You
know
this
the
amount
of
land
they
take
up
and
on
the
old
mayfair
right
away.
It
is
stunning
how
how.
A
Of
land
is,
is
sitting
there
being
used
for
high-tech.
I
mean
for
something
that
now
we
could,
if
they
can
bury,
the
wires
would
suddenly
be
available
for
the
community
to
use
in
all
kinds
of
ways,
and
it
is
remarkable
when
you
see
how
big
that
that
swap
is
how
far
it
goes
and
what
neighborhoods
it
comes
through.
A
I
Me
my
last
point
was
you
know,
part
of
good
economic
development,
I
think,
is
connecting
our
neighborhoods.
You
mentioned
the
old
major
line,
there's
an
opportunity
to
to
create
a
bike
and
a
walk
path
in
sections
of
that
one
path-
and
I
know
the
former
council
is
seeing
different
proposals
and
ideas
from
community
groups
to
do
that.
I
don't
think
we
can
go
the
whole
way.
You
know
from
you
know,
emerson
and
or
simpson,
in
green
bay,
all
the
way
to
chicago,
but
we
certainly
can
connect
more
of
our
neighborhoods.
I
You
know
the
city
has
been
really
good.
Sarah
flax
and
her
team
are
acquiring
some
of
those
parcels.
I
just
had
a
meeting
with
her
the
other
day
and
there's
a
few
parcels,
just
east
of
eths
that
we've
been
trying
to
get
ahold
of
for
a
while
that
we
have
them
now
and
so
yeah.
D
K
I
just
wanted
to
start
with
the
the
maintenance
patrick
that
downtown
has
is
about
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year,
and
that
provides
five
days
a
week,
garbage
removal
for
pork,
seasonal
flower,
planting
changes
and
all
of
the
flower
planting
some
weeding
some
light
sweet
paint
and
an
annual
power
wash.
That
is
about
thirty
thousand
dollars,
which
just
happened,
and
they
have
to
come
back
out
because
there
is
still
it's
just
not
as
clean
as
it
normally
is.
K
So
that's
you
know,
that's
one
thing,
but
I
think
that
there's
an
opportunity
here
to
kind
of
consider
clean
slate.
I'm
not
sure
if
anyone
is
familiar
with
clean
state
but
they're,
a
social
enterprise
of
cara,
which
is
a
larger
organization
and
they
pay.
They
provide
paid
transitional
jobs
around
14
an
hour.
K
Traditionally,
those
staffs
would
be
clean
and
greening
so
graffiti
removal
sweeping
garbage
removal,
some
power
washing
or
hot
spot
cleaning
in
the
streets,
they're
very
commonly
used
in
other
special
service
areas
in
chicago
communities-
and
you
know
their
employee
impact
is
significant.
You
know
so
maybe
389
people
start
figure
and
maybe
continue
on
working
with
clean
state,
but
for
the
most
part,
a
good
percentage
of
those
jobs
go
on
to
permanent
long-term
placements.
K
That's
like
the
core
of
their
of
their
model,
and
I
would
love
to
bring
that
to
evanston
not
just
for
downtown
but
to
all
of
our
commercial
districts,
and
perhaps
we
can,
you
know,
pull
our
dollars
together
and
and
use
the
service
in
our
high
traffic
areas.
So
there's
just
one
thing
and
I
guess
the
real
question
is
you
know.
K
I
know
that
there
will
be
like
an
open
call
for
ideas
on
how
these
dollars
can
be
spent,
and
I'm
wondering
that's
what
I
know
that
there's
going
to
be
an
open
call
that
if
I
don't
have
problems
or
if
staff
can
talk
to
how
that
is
actually
going
to
work,
because
I
I
plan
on
spending
quite
a
few
ideas.
Frankly,.
A
Paul,
do
you
want
to
address
that
and
then
peter
I'll
call
on
you
or
shall
we
talk
to
peter
burst
and
then
you
want
to
come.
A
Q
Q
C
Right
so
the
short
answer
to
that
question
is,
I
don't
know
I
haven't.
I
haven't
spoken
with
my
colleagues
at
cook
county,
yet
I
have
seen
that
they,
they
do
have
a
one
point.
Something
billion
dollar
allocation.
Of
course
they'll
distribute
that
county
wide,
but
I
think
it's
it's
definitely
worthwhile.
I
assume
they're
gonna
do
the
same
thing,
we're
doing
which
is
splitting
you
know
covering
up
some
of
their
losses.
C
Organizationally,
but
yes,
we'll
we'll
do
that.
That's
gotta
be.
Q
Yeah
we
can
discuss
conversation
offline,
but
to
council
member
burns
I'll,
send
the
email
right
now.
I
regret
that
I
have
another
appointment
in
eight,
so
I'm
gonna
have
to
to
drop
off
the
call,
but
look
out
for
that
email,
paul
I'll,
follow
up
with
you
just
to
see
where
those
county
numbers
fall
and
where
we
might
be
able
to
leverage
those
funds
as
well
for
this
big
project.
Okay,
thank
you.
B
Thank
you.
Might
there
be
the
the
attitude
amongst
the
county
decision
makers
that
evanston
is
already
getting
a
whole
heck
of
a
lot
compared
to
other
communities
and
therefore
common
money
should
be
spent
elsewhere.
H
Q
H
No
doubt,
but
I
would
say
this
is
a
multi-trillion
dollar
piece
of
legislation
and
the
the
parts
outside
of
our
43
million
that
I'd
be
most
enthusiastic
about.
Is
all
the
non-municipal
aid
making
sure
that
our
non-profits
are
getting
every
dime
they
can
possibly
have
and
we're
providing
the
technical
support
they
need
making
sure
our
small
businesses
are
getting
all
that
stuff.
There's
there's
tons
of
money
in
this
in
this
legislation.
That's
not
coming
straight
to
municipalities,
but
that
doesn't
mean
it
shouldn't
enter
our
borders.
A
Right,
yeah,
that's
a
very,
very
good
point
and
also
I
heard
somewhat
good
news
about
the
infrastructure
bill
today,
but
that
has
taken
so
many
twists
and
turns
that
I
I
didn't
get
really
enthusiastic
about
it.
But
I
hear.
G
A
Source
to
do
that,
because
burying
those
lines
should
have
been
done
a
long
time
ago,
but
it's
colossally
expensive,
but.
A
All
over
the
country,
they
should
be
buried.
Okay,
just
now,
do
you
want
to
address
the
issue
that
annie
raised.
E
C
Where
the
city
does
an
open
call
like,
we
will
launch
it's,
let's
just
say:
I'm
just
making
up
a
date
september
1st
we
open
up
funding,
call
anybody
who's
interested
in
an
economic
development
plan
or
academic
development.
Investment
from
arpa
would
fill
out
an
application
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
and
we'll
give
them
30
days
or
some
timeline
period
closes
like
any
other
grant
application
and
then
there's
an
evaluation
process
that
uses
a
predetermined
matrix
to
score
or
rubric
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it,
and
then
we
bring.
C
We
bring
that
to
the
economic
development
committee
for
consideration.
The
committee
would
then
review
staff's
scoring
validate
them
in
a
way
and
then
recommend
funding
to
the
city
council.
That
is
one
way
that
we
could
do
this.
We
were
trying
to
come
up
with
ways
to
organize
just
organize
a
process
and
generate
interest
from
the
private
sector.
Now
I
do
recall
mayor
biss,
mentioning
during
that
conversation
that
there
are.
C
And
also
the
business
task
force
and
others
have
already
come
up
with
and
and
the
economic
development
committee
has
reviewed
those
and
has
supported
a
lot
of
those
and
have
also
contributed
ideas.
So
you
know
that
we.
E
C
To
balance
how
we
take
the
ideas
that
are
already
out
there,
because,
frankly,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
guess
there's
there's
a
bunch
of
ideas
out
there
that
are
really
good,
but
not
to
be
too
arrogant.
I'm
gonna
guess
that
a
lot
of
those
are
already
on
reports
and
spreadsheets,
but.
C
C
E
C
Shift
to
the
some
of
the
ideas
that
have
come
up
over
the
last
six
months.
I
mean
some
of
these
ideas
by
the
way-
and
here
I
got
a
minute-
I'm
going
to
share
the
spreadsheet.
C
E
Okay,
so
annie,
can
you
see
this.
D
C
Is
small
business
same
as
annie
same
as
maine
dumpster
mile
howard
street?
All
of
the
groups
that
that
manage
these
merchant
districts-
and
this
is
the
feedback
we're
getting
and
remember.
There
are
five
other
buckets
of
money
that
other
other
groups
are
talking
about,
so
I'm
strictly
talking
about
the
economic
development
components
of
it.
So
again,
what
I
would
like
from
the
community
at
the
end
of
this
is
just
some
feedback
on
whether
or
not
you
think
something
should
or
should
not
be
in
it,
we'll
eliminate
it
we'll
score
it.
D
C
Real
world
understanding
or
prioritization
of
what
we
should
focus
on
okay,
so
again,
for
example,
child
care
support.
Is
there
a
way
to
use
the
funding
to
literally
help
build
a
daycare
or
help
build
that
space
for
a
day
here
or
just
fun,
and
that
profits
need
to
extend
now
my
expertise,
and
this
may
also
come
out
of
other
buckets
of
arthritis
so,
but
I
do
want
to
highlight
that
I
do
think
it's
an
economic
development
initiative,
especially
if
we're
thinking
about
economic
well-being,
getting
women
back
to
work.
C
I
think
of
generally
minority
populations
who
may
have
challenges
in
that
way
and
this
could
be
managed,
affordable,
housing.
Again,
there
is
a
bucket
kind
of
defined
for
this,
but
I'm
showing
you.
There
are
opportunities
here.
If
we
took
arca
and
tiff,
there's,
probably
cdbg,
there's
probably
well.
We
know,
there's
tax
credits,
there's
all
kinds
of
ways
to
find
affordable
housing,
but
there
are
some
gaps:
let's
use
it,
maybe
use
arbor
to
fill
it
job
creation
livability.
C
Those
are
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
economic
coverage,
a
business
incubator,
we've
talked
for
for
months
really
for
years
about
our
retail
incubator
and
we
came
really
close
with
a
37
oaks
and
then
our
boat
was
released
and
the
university
announced
their
share
of
minority-led
incubators.
So
we're
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
program
that
retail
incubator,
with
a
kind
of
a
general
minority
led
business
incubator,
a
commercial
kitchen.
I
became
aware
of
a
space
today.
A
Interest
in
in
small
businesses,
starting
off
I
mean
we
funded
a
number
of
times
with
the
most
micro
grants,
small
businesses
that
have
grown
significantly-
and
I
think
there
is
this
move
now
towards
specialty
food
understanding
who
cooked
it
away
from
the
baked
processed
food.
So
I
think
that's
an
interesting
idea
right.
C
We
had
a
council
member,
one
was
referencing.
We
supported
the
the
city
supported
it
now
we're
cooking
right,
which
is
in
the
fifth
ward.
We
supported
the
salary
of
the
manager
of
the
space.
G
A
C
A
C
B
Development,
one
that
would
add
some
percolated
weatherization
type
jobs,
also
lead
service
replacement.
That's
gonna
be
a
huge,
huge,
huge
business
opportunity
for
the
next
30
years
throughout
the
state.
So
if
we
can
get
people
lined
up
to
do
that,
work
at
evanston,
they
can
take
their
show
on
the
road
and.
A
Solar
and
electric
all
of
those
green
energy
jobs
that
are
that
you
need
some
certification
or
training
in,
but
I
think
that
the
key
part,
to
my
mind,
of
the
training
programs
are
that
there's
a
job
at
the
end
of
it
that
it
you're
not
just
certified
in
something.
But
you
have
to
get
the
job
lined
up
to
go
with
it,
and
those
are
the
training
programs
that,
from
my
research,
are
successful
and
and
follow
through
because
they
know
if
they
complete
it,
there's
a
job
waiting
for
them.
A
A
So
almost
almost
do
a
critical
path
backwards
from
the
job
or
what
we
see
the
job
is
back
to
into
the
workforce
development,
rather
than
the
other
way
around,
saying
we'll
teach
people
to
code
and
then,
and
then,
where
is
the
job
but
so
who's
doing
weatherization
or
lead
replacement?
A
H
Exactly
and
the
simplest
thing
about
the
lev
is
that
we're
doing
it
right,
and
so,
when
we
look
at
some
of
the
you
know
what
what
the
you
know,
what
omar
has
been
proposing
in
terms
of
you
know
connecting
some
of
the
efforts
to
do,
retrofits
and
and
and
the
energy
installations
with
the
workforce
program.
H
F
May
I
ask
before
you
continue
on
the
thinking
around
including
affordable
housing.
Go
up
to
that
top
of
that
list,
the
affordable
housing
and
child
care
support
from
the
bucket
of
economic
development
I
mean
we
can,
we
can
make
connections
wherever
we
want.
We
can
argue
it,
but
given
I
think
that
you
originally
talked
about
economic
development
may
see
10
million
dollars
from
our
funding.
That
was
a
meeting
or
two
ago
and.
F
Million
dollars
so
a
much
smaller
amount,
and
so
I
want
to
these
are
all
these
are
all
goals
that
we
want
to
pursue.
But
if
we
are
looking
at
this
through
a
lens
of
economic
development,
I
would,
in
my
view,
given
you
know
some
of
the
other
priorities
that
we've
talked
about
tonight.
I
don't
see
child
care,
support
and
affordable
housing
coming
out
of
this
smaller
bucket
of
money.
C
E
C
I
love
having
you
on
this
committee
and
I
told
you
that
before
because
you
remember
these
things
and
you
always
accountable,
I
think
I
made
it
even
maybe
up
to
20
right.
I
was
really
excited
about
it,
but.
C
We
are
highlighting
the
fact
that
these
are
kind
of
cross,
whatever
the
fertilizing
or
child
and
child
care
support.
Portable
housing,
they're.
C
C
That's
going
to
that's
going
to
be
picked
up
in
social
service,
and
it
just
it
feels
like,
but
this
helps
me
with
my
planning
like
we
can
in
some
way
mark
it
off
for
the
conversation.
This
is
exactly
what
I
want
to
happen,
but
I
also.
C
To
point
to
the
chair
that
miss
wilson
has
her
hand
up
and
I'm
gonna
guess
she
wants
to
talk
about
workforce,
but
I'll.
D
A
D
N
Yes
excuse
my
camera
tonight,
it's
not
functioning,
but
I
did
want
to
mention
all
of
these
are
great
ideas
and
I'm
you
know,
obviously
a
fan
of
evanston
because
I
feel
like
it
belongs
to
me.
So
you
know
listening
to
these
things
are
awesome
and
I
would
like
to
see
it
especially.
N
I
want
to
bring
focus
to
the
ox
which
is
going
to
be
at
2223
in
washington,
which
is
right
off
pittner
alley,
but
I
do
want
to.
I
want
to
mention
how
the
ox,
which
will
be
you,
know
the
home,
to
8
to
10
black
owned
businesses
that
will
spark
economic
development
and
create
jobs,
and
this
will
include
workforce
development
with
sunshine
enterprises
that
are
there.
N
Many
of
us
are
graduates
of
sunshine
enterprises,
it'll
be
vibrant
spaces,
including
co-working
spaces,
and
it
will
unlock
economic
opportunity,
and
I
know
we
talk
a
lot
about
affordable
housing
in
evanston,
which
is
super
important,
but
we
also
have
to
tie
that
into
sustainability
for
people
and
themselves
to
give
them
local
jobs
instead
of
driving
to
glenview
driving
the
skokie,
where
they
can
work
home
and
be
close
to
home
and
be
a
part
of
the
community,
because
right
now,
there's
no
definition
for
affordable.
N
So
we
also
have
to
include
why
you
know
there
is
no
definition
but
give
people
the
opportunity
to
sustain
themselves,
no
matter
what
rent
costs
you
know
we
have
to
be
able
to
bring
our
jobs
back
home,
especially
for
black
community.
We
talk
a
lot
about
equity,
but
it's
time
for
us
to
focus
on
things
like
the
ox
as
well
as
downtown
as
well
as
maine
as
well
as
denser.
N
B
I
wanted
to
also
just
make
the
point
that
the
numbers,
the
allocation
numbers
that
paul
shared
with
us,
are
not
final,
and
there
was
some
discussion
at
council
on
monday.
That
indicates
to
me
that
some
adjustment
is
in
order
in
the
economic
development.
Bucket
may
very
well
be
bigger
than
the
original
draft,
and
if
we
can
make
that
case,
that
will
help.
A
We
can
help
make
that,
and
I
do
think
that,
as
as
we're
talking
about
these
things
are
overlapping
and
interlocking
so
you
know
it
might
be,
and
your
project.
A
In
it,
but
right
as
as
a
child
in
terms
of
what
we
do
for
workforce
development,
for
instance
like
they're,
there
might
there's
an
aspect
of
that.
That's
there's
a
child
care
part
of
that,
because
how
can
people
come
unless
they
have
child
child
care?
They
can
rely
on,
and
so
it's
this
overlap.
But
but
I
get.
L
Oh,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
okay,
so
of
course
back
to
affordable
housing.
So
I
see
that
it
says
emerson,
square
phase,
two
and
three.
M
I
do
not
feel
that
you
know,
of
course,
I'm
just
my
opinion,
but.
L
This
person
of
rentshore,
who
is
currently
managing
many
properties
here
in
evanston,
including
emerson
square,
should
not
get
another
18.1
million
dollars.
L
Some
people
may
not
know
about
brenshaw
and
their
vananza
when
the
city
received
the
18.1
million
dollars
and
if
I'm
correct
in
2025,
this
is
allowed
to
go
to
market
rate
rents,
but
it
seems
that
the
city
likes
to
continue
to
help
the
same
people
again
so
18.1
million
bonanza
plus
the
current
management
for
many
years
since
receiving
that
money,
it
seems
like
you
need
to
spread
the
money
around
also
about
adu
construction
grants.
L
In
1930
jackson,
you
gave
mechanic
190
thousand
dollars,
plus
35
000
more
dollars
to
construct
one
adu
unit
and
60
ami
or
better.
That's
one
unit
over
a
garage.
L
I've
tried
to
provide
10
up
to
10
units
of
affordable
housing
and
some
of
them
large.
As
you
know,
I've
repeated
many
times,
families
of
nine
large
families.
A
lot
of
these
developments
that
you're
talking
about
are
not
affordable.
I
take
30
ami,
we
do
not
have
places
for
families
and
it's
just
affordable.
Housing
is
like
dirty
words
right
now,
because
you're,
not
all
these
luxury
buildings,
are
containing
one
bedroom
or
studio
units.
L
Wherever
you
have
a
lot
of
the
money
that
you
grant
to
the
agencies,
they,
those
families
are
being
shipped
out
to
arlington
heights.
Schomburg,
that's
plains
because
you
do
not
have
the
larger
units
or
you
do
not
work
with
some
of
the
agencies
may
not
look
to
people
like
me,
but
if
you
do
not
help
people
like
me
who
provide
the
larger
units,
then
a
larger
company.
L
This
is
what's
going
to
happen.
I
promise
you
I'm
telling
you
the
truth.
Here.
Larger
developers
or
larger
property
owners
will
come
and
buy
units
from
people
like
me
and
turn
them
into
luxury
house.
L
D
L
L
D
L
Two
of
my
other
family
members
are
handicapped
very
seldom
that
we
try
to
patronize
business
and
heavenstein,
because
we
cannot
find
a
parking
for
handicapped
people.
It
does
not
make
sense.
So
when
you
go
to
the
mall,
you
can
find
the
handicapped
parking
right
there
in
the
front
also
need
to
focus
on
not
luxury
housing,
but
business
owl
orchard
has
a
lot
of
business.
They
have
a
movie
theater,
that's
open.
I
have
proposed
other
businesses,
entertainment
attractions
to
have
people
come
to
evanston
and
also
shortly.
I
will
finish.
L
Why
are
the
business
just
saying?
Oh,
you
can
have
10
off
if
you
show
your
northwestern
wildcat
car,
why
not
have
a
day
or
two
for
evanston
residents?
If
you
show
your
evanston
id
and
you
can
get
it
this
time
today
could
be
every
tuesday
downtown,
evanston
or
something
many
times
while
the
students
are
here,
the
evanston
residents
are
ignored
right
now,
a
lot
of
students
are
home.
So
then
you're
waving
a
flag.
Oh
come
on
down,
and
this
is
my
business.
L
A
B
C
Is
this
still
up?
Yes,
thank
you.
We're
talking
about
the
business
incubator.
We
shifted
into
workforce
development
again.
This
might
be
one
of
those
topics
that
that
blends
in
with
the
others
that
this
member
deacon
brought
up
office
space
modernization
was
something
we
talked
about
early
on,
really
immediately
post-past
post-pandemic.
C
D
C
Go
there,
but
the
point
is
our
thought
was:
could
we
use
some
funding
to
help
offices
retrofit
to
have
touchless,
elevators
and
broader
spaces
between
cubicles
and
things
like
that?
I
think
when
we
tested.
K
C
I
would
say
that
this
would
probably
fall
off
the
list:
retail
storefront
modernization.
This
is
a
program
we've
always
had.
We
can
use
general
fund
money
to
to
kind
of
refund
that
program
or
maybe
do
some
contribution
at
the
time
I
had
been
talking
with
a
food
co-op.
I
think.
C
C
Came
up
during
a
time
when
we
just
didn't
know
how
bad
it
was
going
to
be
hospitality
recovery.
C
Of
this,
with
the
with
this
program,
we
announced
earlier
with
the
construction
impacts
on
some
of
these
businesses
on
howard
street.
I
specifically
mentioned
palm
house
here.
These
hospitality
businesses
attract
a
lot
of
visitors
who
spend
a
lot
of
money
so.
D
C
I
think
we
should
really-
or
I
would
recommend,
doesn't
matter
where
I
think,
but
I
would
recommend
that
we
consider
thinking
of
ways
to
help
improve
some
of
these
businesses.
We
we
received
a
request
from
firehouse,
for
example,
who
would
like
an
investment
of
arpa
to
help
with
like
have
a
retractable
outdoor,
a
roof
to
cover
their
outdoor.
D
C
C
This
is
an
early
idea
that
I'd
like
to
kind
of
not
focus
on,
because
our
funding
is
it's
just
not
going
to
be
deep
enough,
but
there
is
a
thought.
I
think
we
could
make
this
into
future
planning,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
old
building
stock
here
and
they're,
not
landmarks,
but
they're
definitely
heritage
buildings
that
we
want
to
save
you
know.
Maybe
they
have
certain
cornices
or
they're
they're
made
of
lannister.
I
think
they
mean
landstone
buildings,
but
terra.
C
Just
really
adds
character
to
the
community.
Could
we
come
up
with
a
district?
My
thought
was:
maybe
we
had
an
additional
incentive
for
for
a
facade
improvements
for
for
these
types
of
buildings.
I.
C
M
C
N
C
Provided
through
the
lend
program,
again,
probably
not
worth
mentioning
for
the
bigger
picture
now
now
we
start
getting
into
some
of
the
bigger
things
business
district
infrastructure.
How
do
we
upgrade
our
parking
system?
Maybe
we
go
to
a
pilot
program,
we're
offering
free
parking
talking
about
miss
peyton's
idea.
C
We
can
never
have
100
free
parking,
united
stand,
it's
a
classic
tragedy
of
the
common
situation
where
people
will
use
it
to
their
own
personal
benefit
all
the
time
and
I'm
talking
about
downtown
condo
dwellers
if
you're
online
right
now
listening,
please
use
use
your
garages,
it's
very
helpful.
We
need
to
leave
those
spaces
open
for
our
businesses.
G
F
A
C
That
as
like
targeted
because
we
talked
about
it
earlier,
we
talked
about
custer.
F
C
Closing
streets
or
using
the
he
labeled
them
zero
away
streets
instead
of
one
or
two
way,
call
them
zero
away,
and
then
other
members
of
the
committee
suggested
that
we
do
this
on
a
targeted
basis.
There
are
examples
around
the
country
in
the
united
states,
at
least
where,
when
you
close
down
streets
permanently,
it
really
does
destroy
commerce,
but
there.
H
N
C
Money
for
this
parking
lots,
alderman
win
knows
how
much
I
love
she's
laughing
over
my
shoulder
here,
but
we
have
one
lot
that
lot
won
at
south
and
inman
that
we
received
seven
proposals
to
you
know
redevelop
as
affordable
housing.
D
C
But
the
next
few
weeks
we're
going
to
be
analyzing,
those
and
determining
it,
but
there
are
a
number
of
others
around,
especially.
N
C
Southeast
evanston,
where
I
live,
where
they're
right
next
to
the
business
districts
and
right
next
to
apartments
and
condominiums,
and
I
think,
there's
a
number
of
ways
we
could
use
them
better,
which
is
not
eliminating
parking
because
people
need
to
drive
it's
just.
That's
that's
human
nature.
It's
an
american
way
of
life.
Until
that
changes,
we
need
to
provide
a
space
for
it.
Some
would
argue
that
we
just
have
to
make
it
easier
to
not
take
cars,
but
I'm
trying
to
be
pragmatic,
realistic,
so.
C
Let's
build
affordable
housing
over
parking,
let's
convert
a
lot
or
all,
or
some
of
them
into
eb
charging
stations,
so
condo
and
apartment
dwellers
can
buy
electric
vehicles
and
have
a
place
to
charge
them
which
helps
reduce
carbon,
which
leads
to
climate
action
resilience
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
I.
C
C
Member
deacon
is
skipping
right
over
all
the
consulting
services
that
we
need.
I
think
to
move
this
forward.
You
know
again,
all
of
these
apply
a
lit,
apply
a
number
of
150.
You
know
50
to
150
000.
For
these
studies.
That's.
C
Services,
I
wanted
to
point
out
a
couple
of
kind
of
pet
projects
that
I
imagine
just
we
have
to
come
up
with
a
new
way
to
engage
as
a
community
and
that
fits
into
branding.
I
think
ms
gallagher
brought
that
up
earlier.
I
think
we
just
need
to
who
are
we?
You
know,
I
think,
if
you
ask,
I
think
a
lot
of
estonians
have
different
ideas
of
what
our
community
is.
I
really
think
it's
time
to
to
help
fund
the
build
out
the
kitchen
at
harrington
lagoon.
C
C
A
What
is
freshwater
job
training
in
terms
of
maintaining
the
quality
of
the
air,
the
water
quality
of
the
lake.
C
This
was
the
idea
of
how
do
we,
how
do
we
maintain
the
water
quality,
but
how
is
it
used
in
research?
How
is
it,
what
are
we
going
to
do
in
the
world
of
climate
global
warming?
I
can't
think
of
a.
G
B
C
C
C
Matching
programs,
training
programs-
all
right,
I'm
we're
going
to
have
to
hurry
up
here.
Cta
purple
line
express
get
that
thing
going
longer.
That's
he's
completely
his
favorite
project.
How
do
we
fix
up
the
bridges
and
viaducts?
I
think
we
have
yes.
D
A
A
C
B
A
And
also
use
federal
infrastructure
money
for
that.
That's
it.
C
D
C
C
These
were
some
real
tactical
solutions,
all
purchase
of
our
gift
card
to
get
money
flowing
into
our
local
businesses,
food
carts,
all
the
things
that
we've
been
talking
about
for
years
now
is
the
time
because
we
have
the
money
to
really
to
invest
in
these
things,
branded
bike
practice
evanston
on
them.
M
C
C
So
we're
going
to
go
until
8
30.,
that's
a
hard
stop!
Okay!
I
I
don't
feel
like
I
want
to.
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
checking
you
with
with
chairwoman
when
about
calling
at
people,
but
I
know
probably
councilmember
byron
said
he
wanted
to
say
something
when
I
was
done-
and
I
am.
A
Yes,
burns:
did
you
want
to
ask
your
questions
or
make
comments.
I
I
And
if
we're
gonna
see
this,
if
this
is
gonna
circle
back
around
and
I'm
fine
speaking
speaking
with
paul
in
between
meetings
as
well,
okay.
D
D
H
I
just
I
wanted
to
follow
something
that
we
did
I
alluded
to
earlier,
but
I
do
think
it's
it's
just
interesting.
Information
paul
and
I
have
talked
with
a
lot
of
the
downtown
building
owners
and
people
are
doing
this
work
in
downtown
chicago
and
so
forth,
and
I
just
have
a
few
observations
that
I
I
found
really.
H
First
of
all,
it's
not
totally
clear
why,
but
we
are
behind
chicago,
so
chicago
has
seen
you
know
since
may:
a
steady
politic
in
their
downtown
office
census
and
we've
been
pretty
flat
and,
as
we've
been
in
communication
with
our
bigger
downtown
employers,.
H
Indicated
yeah
we're
still
looking
at
labor
day,
we
haven't
heard
any
backsliding.
D
H
Gotten
worse,
but
that's
something
to
look
to
watch
for
closely.
It
seems
clear
that
a
lot
of
the
downtown
tenants
are
downsizing
their
movement.
You
know
they're
going
to
be
having
some
of
their
employees
work
remotely
permanently,
and
so
there's
going
to
be
a
need
for
for
more
tenants
coming
in,
and
it
does
seem
like
there's
a
real
opportunity,
as
the
exact
same
things
happening
in
chicago,
of
course,
to
be
the
beneficiary.
Of
that
I
mean
an
example.
H
That
came
to
my
mind
is
how
many
of
how
many
evanston-
and
you
know,
highland
park.
Glencoe
residents-
was
the
typical
big
downtown
law
firm,
have
as
partners
who
would
love
to
go
downtown
one
day
a
week
now
and
come
to
the
episode
satellite
office
relatively
regularly.
There's
a
lot
of
opportunities
like
this,
and
I
think
it's
beneficial
right
now
for
us
to
be
thinking
about
how
to
capitalize
on
that.
H
It
may
be
annie's
observation
about
the
value
of
a
certain
amount
of
you
know,
hopefully
modest,
but
real
expenditure
on
some
marketing
and
branding,
I
think,
would
be
a
value.
But
the
other
thing
that
was
interesting
in
talking
to
these
folks
who
are
trying
to
lease
out
this
space
is,
you
know,
I'm
used
to
talking
to
businessmen
who
want
to
harambe
about
taxes
and
regulations,
and
I'm
used
to
sort
of
like
that's
a
certain.
H
And
they
were
really
talking
about
other
things
that
were
were
much
more
aligned
with
this
list
and
they
talked
about
the
built
environment
a
lot.
There
was
a
lot
of
concern
about
the
viaducts.
There
was
concern
about
you
know,
literally.
What
do
you
see
when
you
get
off
the
purple
line
and
the
metra
at
davis
and
they're
talking
about
trying
to
persuade
a
downtown
firm
to
to
persuade
you
know
late
few
residents
to
get
on
the
train
and
go
north
and
not
get
on
the
train
and
go
south.
G
H
What
they
see
when
they
got
off
the
train
matters
and
what
they
see
when
they
get
off
the
train
now
does
not
look
so
great,
and
so
these
these
investments
that
I
thought
were
perhaps
nice
to
haves
and
just
kind
of
spiffing
up
the
way,
the
bridges
and
roads
and
train
stations
look
downtown
was
really
high
on
their
list,
as
we
think
about
what
it's
going
to
take
to
attract
new
tenants
again.
So
I
just
wanted
to
commit
to
be
aware
of
that,
as
you
all
are
near
prioritization.
Do.
P
A
A
H
The
answer
that
we
got,
that
was
perhaps
a
little
bit
self-interested,
was
given
by
someone
who's
involved
in
this
work
with
chicago
was
really
intentional
and
aggressive
way
before
we
thought
about
it.
So
you
know
eight
months
ago,
ten
months
ago,
they
were
working
with
their
large
employers
and
putting
together
return
plans
so
that
so
that,
as
the
employee
population
started
getting
more
vaccinated,
they
were
they
had,
they
communicated
already
with
their
employees.
They
had
safety
plans
and
they
were
just
sort
of
ready
to
go
so
that
that
may
be.
H
That
may
be
a
piece
of
it.
I
think
also
all
this
stuff
is.
It
feeds
on
itself
right,
the
benefit
of
being
downtown,
especially
with
other
other
workers
in
similar
fields.
Are
there
and
there's
cross-pollination,
and
so
there's
it
doesn't
take
that
high
percentage
of
chicago
to
get
the
critical
mass
where
it
starts
to
be
valid,
to
be
back
right.
G
F
F
Those
large
tenants
to
be
very
aggressive
in
talking
about
the
benefits
of
you
know
being
back
downtown,
the
safety
of
being
so
and
you
get
into
that
built
environment
and
you
feel
good
right.
You
get
off
the
train
and
you
see
some
of
that
vitality
and
right
now
our
downtown,
I
would
argue,
is
lacking
that
so.
K
D
A
E
A
Of
when
you
come
back,
my
favorite
place
you
wanted
to
go
to
lunch
is
no
longer
there
so,
but
we
have
to
figure
out
how
to
pull
in
the
back
yeah.
That
would
be
interesting
to
understand
more
of
what
how
how
chicago
has
done
it
and
what
we
can
do,
because
we
should
be
able
to
do
it,
we're
on
so
much
smaller
scale.
H
We
are
working
directly
with
larger
employers,
rotary's
planning
and
being
pretty
close
entirely
back
as
of
early
september
and
cns,
which
is
also
not
a
small
number
of
people
always
coming
back.
Also
correctly,
you
know
they're.
G
H
A
C
C
Is
have
we
thought
about
what
comes
first?
How
do
we
prioritize?
How
what
do
we
do
to
get
this
started?
Do
we
need
to
form
subcommittees,
and
I
don't
know
if
that's
the
answer
yeah,
I
don't
know.
I
feel
like
what
we're
hearing
the
mayor
and
I
I
I
participated.
C
M
C
C
If
they're
required
to
come
back
to
work,
then
they
go
out
to
lunch
and
shop
when
we
do
things,
but
if
we're
going
to
be
in
a
permanent
hybrid
model,
if
we
start
hearing
that,
if
the
variant
takes
off
and
doesn't
did
we
have
to
do
all
this
stuff
again,
I
don't
know
what
to
do.
I'm
just
going
to
be
honest
with
you,
so
we're
getting
that
feedback
from
the
ceo
group,
which
is
the
larger
groups,
and
I
think
that's
the
critical
piece
one
of
the.
B
E
C
C
C
H
P
F
Because
to
me
that
was
that
was
a
win.
That's
an
example
of
place.
Making
right
like
that
was
an
example
of
the
city
trying
to
be
creative,
having
a
central
draw,
we're
talking
about
building
a
farmers
market
around
it,
and
now,
when
you
walk
through
there,
it's
just
another.
It
just
sort
of
adds
to
that
feeling
of
the
downtown
feels
desolate.
It
feels
disregarded,
it
feels
empty,
and
so,
if
we're
trying
to
bring
people
back
in
september,
come
back
be
back
and
that
still
is
dry.
K
Does
I
am
I
am
I
today
confirmed,
hopefully
confirmed-
I
don't
want
it
to
be
in
evanston
now
by
tomorrow.
I
believe
I
will
have
is.
I
might
have
some
funding
to
do
some
place
making.
I
have
ideas
around
this.
I've
been
working
on
it
for
two
days
at
least
only
two
days,
but
it's
a
pretty
good
plan
and
I
think
I
have
funding
and
if
I
don't,
I'm
gonna
figure
something
out.
But
yes,
there
is.
There
is
a
placemaking
idea
brewing
and
I
think
there's
funding
that
I've
identified
for.
K
Wanted
to
talk
about,
you
know
we
are
doing
events
out
there,
thursday
night
markets.
We
have
three
left
with.
We
are
supporting
our
creatives
and
our
makers
at
these
events.
We
are,
we
just
got
permission
to
have
beer
out
there
and
our
next
ones.
We
have
music
and
I'm
working
with
some
of
our
property
managers
to
host
a
series
of
welcome
back
events
to
kind
of
just
give
a
nice
vibe
for
when
our
our
daytime
population
returns.
D
C
C
It's
a
very
slick
idea,
and-
and
thank
you
for
not
having
to
rely
on
public
money
for
it
all
right.
Can
I
shift
yours
really
quick
yeah,
because
we're
we
really
wanted
to
talk
about
and.
C
Might
be
pretty
obvious,
but
I
want
some,
but
I
would
like
to
get
some
buy-in
from
the
committee
and
then
we'll
go
to
we'll
go
to
burns.
If
you
don't
mind
to
have
him,
ask
whatever
questions
you
have,
but.
C
C
C
Is
once
you
get
the
investment?
What's
your
projected
full-time
employees,
your
projected
part-time
employees,
so
we
can
get
that
that
roi
jobs,
return
on
investment,
pre
and
post
sales,
tax,
pre-imposed,
liquor,
tax,
pre-impulse
property
tax.
So
we
can
have
all
these
estimates
to
get
at.
I
think
a
lot
of
the
numbers
that
that
I
know
that
councilmember
reed,
craves
and
mr
burns
asks
a
lot
or
councilmember
burns.
Retaining
are
we
retaining
any
existing
visits?
I
think
we
should
put
more
value
on
retaining
an
existing
business
than
that.
C
C
Clearly,
I
I
have
to
work
on
my
climate
action
vocabulary
in
vernacular,
but
what
are
the
things
that
we
want
to
include
in
an
analysis
and
how
it
impacts
climate
resilience?
The
action
plan?
Again,
I'm
showing
my
weakness
in
the
vernacular
equity
standards?
What
kinds
of
things
we
want
to
see
and
then
this
again
we're
showing
the
economic
impact
when
we
demonstrate.
C
And
then
you
know.
C
A
Think
you're
on
the
right
path-
I
I
I
mean
I'll
just
jump
in
and
say
I
think
we
have
to
give
people
some
parameters,
applicants
some
parameters
so
that
before
they
invest
in
and
answering
all
these
questions,
we
need
to
at
least
signal
like
what
is
it
that
we
would
generally
look
at.
That
would
have
a
favor
more
favorable
reception
than
something
that
we're
going
to
give
a
flat.
No,
so
we
have
to
figure
out.
A
How
do
you
let
people
know
what
are
we
looking
for,
and
so
you
might
have
to
have
a
lot
more
definition
in
there
in
terms
of
what
are
we
looking
for
and
because.
A
Determine
that
what's
reasonable
for
us,
you
know
someone
coming
in
and
asking
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Well,
what
would
make
that
worthwhile?
If
you
know,
is
that
even
something
that
we
would
entertain
versus
someone
asking
for
fifteen
thousand
dollars?
What
are
we
gonna
have
a
cap
because
we
should
have
one
and
then
what
are
the
criteria
for
that?
A
F
F
A
C
O
A
O
M
A
Come
to
the
theater
will
spend
65
dollars
in
on
one
meal,
but
so,
if
there's
something
else
like
that,
if
you
start
a
class
for
children,
their
parents
are
trapped
there.
So
they
will
go
and
then
look
around
nearby
and
spend
money.
A
F
If
an
individual
restaurant,
for
example,
wants
to,
you
know,
add
to
their
outdoor
dining
experience,
I
will
tell
you
that
I
feel,
like
other
communities,
are
just
sort
of
doing
it
so
much
better
on
the
outdoor
dining
experience
and
so
that
business
may
not
be
able
to
point
to
a
specific
numbers
that
would
compete
against
some
of
these
other
things.
But,
in
my
view,
do
a
lot
to
sort
of
add
to
the
overall
placement
placemaking.
C
C
C
So
I
think
you
just
said
what
it
is.
It's
like
it's
some
kind
of
place,
making
measure
right
like
how
do
we
right?
I.
D
D
H
H
On
monday
evening,
as
well
like
this
is
great,
this
is
a
good
beginning
of
the
template
and
like
working
out.
The
score
is
going
to
be
a
useful
exercise,
but
I
don't
think
we
want
to
just
be
passive
consumers
and
proposals
coming
from
the
outside.
I
think
we
want
absolute
clarity
about
our
priorities.
H
H
This
this,
this
bucket
of
art
for
money,
is,
unlike
the
others.
I
mean,
obviously
our
vision
as
a
city
matters
everywhere,
but
we
know
that
when
it
comes
to
social
service
funding,
we
do
almost
none
of
that
in-house.
The
partners
are
there
they're
going
to
come
to
some
good
proposals
and
we're
going
to
need
a
grid
like
this
to.
H
N
H
D
A
A
But
also
looking
at
the
planning,
because
no
one
else
is
going
to
do
that,
we,
the
you,
know
the
the
consultant
for
the
downtown
planning
or
how
you
reconfigure
your
artistries.
If
we
want
to
do
that,
the
the
sort
of
the
things
that
only
we
can
do
and-
and
then
you
know
so-
we
want
to
leave
a
portion
of
that
some
at
least
recognize
that
there
are
some
things
that
we
are.
D
A
The
comprehensive
stuff
that
we
have
to
direct
as
opposed
to
people
coming
in
and
saying
how
they.
A
C
C
Seeing
as
staff
is,
I
said
already,
there
is
definitely
a
strong
current
of
place.
Making
and
just
the
word
cleanup
is
a
strong
word
and
there
is
an
element
of
that,
but
it's
really
about
the
placement
and
we
heard
it
from
the
people.
We
spoke
with
the
broker's
side,
property
owners
and
hearing
it
today.
I've
heard
it
in
different
ways
from
each
of
you.
A
I
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
this,
so
I
want
to
agree
with
what's
been
said,
the
last
few
minutes,
but
I'm
back
into
it
this
way.
So
you
know,
I
think
one
of
the
maybe
easiest
things
to
determine
right
now
is
how
much
direct
merchant
support
that
we're
willing
to
do
with
the
economic.
I
I
Some
direct
merchant
support,
then
it
makes
sense
to
have
the
merchants
come
to
us
and
tell
us
what
they
need
to
make
them
whole
or
support
them,
and
in
that
scoring
system
paul
just
went
over.
It
makes
total
sense
if,
if
we're
going
to
do
direct
merchant
support,
so
I
think
the
first
question,
if
I
was
leaving
this
right
doing
consulting
work,
would
be
that
like
how
how
much?
How
far
are
we
going
to
go
to
the
millionaires?
I
What
is
that
dollar
amount
and
and
then
there's
everything
else?
I
think
it
would
take
to
approach
that
you
want
to
be
a
little
more
proactive
and
and
lead
and
create
roles
and
and
strategy
on
how
the
money
will
be
used.
Then
we'll
talk
about
how
much
goes
towards
planning
placemaking,
and
so
some
of
these
other
things
that
I've
heard
today,
especially
workforce
development.
We
may
not.
We
may
not
have
the
applications
for
this,
but
it's
important.
I
We
visit
the
city
to
understand
it's
important
to
prioritize
it,
it's
what
we
earn
during
campaigns.
It's
what
the
returning
of
people
have
heard.
Council
members
have
heard
numerous
war
meetings
and
town
halls
and,
like
we've,
gotten
feedback
over
the
new
years
about
action
that
we
need
to
take.
And
so
just
because
we
don't
get
an
application
doesn't
mean
that
we
shouldn't
move
in
that
direction.
So,
but
I
think,
if
we're
looking
for,
if
we're.
I
Now
I
think
the
best
thing
we
can
do
is
really
come
up
with
a
dollar
amount
for
direct
merchant
support
and
a
question
I
would
have
goes
back
to
what
councilmember
breithwaite
said,
which
is
what
other
support
is
out
there
right?
Is
there
any
support
in
county
government?
Is
there
any
support
from
the
state,
and
even
if
there
is,
we
want
to
wait
on
that
or
do
we
want
to
say
no
we're
going
to
put
set
aside
some
of
our
money
for
direct
person
support
but
again
personally,.
G
I
Comfortable
with
at
this
point
using
the
sports
scoring
system
for
because
that's
the
only
thing
that
makes
it
to
this
is
when
murder
his
merchants
are
gonna
come
before
us
and
say
yeah.
This
is
how
we
like
to
use
our
performance.
It
makes
total
sense
to
do
a
sports
system.
Everything
else.
To
be
frank,
I
don't
think
we're
ready
to
make
those
types
of
business.
Thank
you.
A
D
C
Yeah,
I
appreciate
that
so
we
as
as
in
all
seriousness,
we
currently
have
one
staff
person
who's
on
a
training
lead
and
we
lost
our
other
staff
person
to
world
visit
chicago.
Congratulations
to
them
because
she
was.
B
F
C
Larger
staff:
in
addition,
we
have
our
special
service
area
and
reversion
group
partners
that'll
help.
This
committee
is
very
helpful.
They
remember
their
business
members
in
the
community
that
have
given
some
significant
input
tonight.
That's
really
helpful.
So.
C
At
all,
except
when
I
come
to
this
building
during
the
day,
it's
very
quiet
and
I'm
alone
in
my
office,
but
there's.
C
Here,
that's
that's
wanting
to
work
on
this,
so
I
think
from
the
legislative
process
of
edinson.
This
committee
doesn't
need
an
audience
either.
In
fact,
the
council
meets
once
as
far
as
I
know,
so
I
don't
I'm
not
ever
going
to
recommend
that
everybody
get
together
in
august.
It's
really
hard
to
do
we'll
be
back
together
in
september
as
a
as
a
group,
but
in
the
meantime
I
think
we
just
continue
to
do
the
work
and
come
back
with
a
really
strong
plan.
F
With
a
sense
of
urgency-
and
I
think
if
we
can,
if
we
can
make
that
work,
I
think
that's
appropriate
because.
D
D
F
P
A
So,
council
members
burns
and
read:
I
I
we're
talking
about
going
ahead
and
scheduling
a
meeting
in
august
traditionally
or
in
the
past
because
of
people's
vacations.
The
edc
has
not
met,
but
I
think
that
we
should
meet
in
august
because
there's
so
much
to
do.
We
can't
wait
till
september.
I
I
agree
yes,
I
also
agree.
I
think
we
definitely
should
be
in
august,
given
the
top
part.
F
A
B
A
So
I
I
think
it's
okay,
I
mean
we
might
maybe
not
have
as
many
members
to
the
public,
but
I
I
think
I
think
we
should
be
dead.
Can.
F
C
In
august,
so
so
what
would
happen
is
all
that
september.
First
is
the
third
day,
then
the
question
is
22nd
to
do.
Yeah.
D
F
A
Okay
at
this
point,
I'm
going
to
adjourn
the
meeting
and
we're
going
to
have
mr
samsek
hold
us
as
to
whether
we
have
our
next
meeting
will
be
in
the
very
end
of
august
or
the
very
first
week
in
september,
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
participating
and
particularly
thank
our
city
staff
for
giving
us
a
lot
of
a
lot
to
chew
on
a
lot
to
work
with
and
welcome
our
new
committee
as
well.
A
All
right,
we
are.
