Description
This video shows the conversation among the Equity and Empowerment Commission.
B
B
B
Okay,
well,
I
believe
so
let
us
welcome
everybody
again,
thanks
for
joining
us
again
expressing
gratitude
for
zoom,
even
though
I
know
most
of
us
are
probably
tired
of
it.
It
allows
us
to
continue
meeting
and
conducting
this
important
work
despite
the
weather
and
the
the
way
that
kovic
just
continues
to
linger
on.
So
please.
I
hope
you
continue
to
be
safe
and
well.
B
It
sounds
like
not
many
folks
had
an
opportunity
or
I'm
not
sure
if
you
got
the
packet,
I
wonder
if
folks
need
a
little
bit
of
time
to
be
able
to
review
the
minutes
before
we
take
a
vote
who,
besides
myself,
needs
a
few
minutes
to
review
the
minutes
before
we
take
a
vote,
you
want
to
raise
your
hands
if
you're,
if
you
need
at
least
a
good
three
minutes,
anyone
kimberly.
B
B
Now
that
we've
given
ourselves
some
time
to
read
the
minutes,
does
anybody
have
any
questions
or
edits
that
need
to
be
made
to
the
minutes
before?
I
call
for
a
vote.
C
B
C
Madam
chair,
I
have
a
a
proposal
on
the
order
of
our
agenda
tonight
and
I'm
wondering
if,
after
approval
of
our
chair
and
vice
chair,
if
that's
our
next
order
of
business
that
we
move
up,
you
may
have
already
thought
of
this.
Our
discussion
with
the
environmental
justice
evanston.
I
see
that
mr
schlichman
and
and
rick
nelson
are
here,
and
I
know
andy
hung
on
for
a
long
time
at
our
last
meeting,
and
I
wondered
if
we
could
just
move
them
to
the
front
of
our
agenda
for
this
meeting.
B
B
Thank
you,
jane.
Okay.
Next,
on
the
agenda,
we
actually
have
public
comment.
Anybody
joining
us
tonight
that
would
like
to
share
any
public
comment.
G
G
But
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
this
year,
ywca
is
going
to
host
a
stand
against
racism
again
in
a
variety
of
ways,
and
I
would
love
if
we
could,
if,
if
we
could
have
a
couple
of
minutes
on
the
agenda
next
month
to
to
really
talk
that
through
and
flesh
that
out,
so
that
because
we
would
appreciate
the
city's
participation
but
we're
looking
for
something
a
little
deeper
and
less
performative
than
just
standing
out
in
front
of
city
up
in
in
front
of
the
civic
center
etc.
H
It
works
for
us
and
then
eileen.
If
you
have,
I
hope
you
will
come
with
kind
of
specific
ass
so
that
you
know
this
group
can
ponder
if
there's
a
way
we
can
kind
of
work
on
behalf
of
you
know
whatever
tiny
piece
of
the
city
we
represent,
or
if
there
are
other
things
that
you
need
us
to
take
to
the
rest
of
the
city
right
to
to
kind
of
ask
as
a
branch
looking
out
for
equitable
issues,
so.
G
I
appreciate
that
and
I
we
we're
putting
together
a
packet
that
will
that
I'll
share
with
you
as
soon
as
it's
with
the
whole
commission
as
soon
as
it's
ready,
so
that
you
can
be
thinking
about
ways
that
make
sense
for
your
various
organizations.
In
addition
to
the
city.
B
C
That's
the
the
national
yeah,
the
ywbc
is
national
site
for
this,
and
I'm
sure
our
local
ca,
evanston
north
shore
will
have
its
own
didn't
seem
updated
when
I
looked
but
you'll
have
something
for
2022
soon,
I'm
guessing.
G
B
Sounds
good!
Thank
you.
Eileen
matt
you'll.
Do
us
the
favor
of
making
sure
that
it's
on
the
agenda
and
when
the
co-chairs
meet
for
next
month,
you
all
can
talk
more
about
where
it
fits
on
the
agenda
and
connect
with
ivy.
B
I
want
to
hear
happiness
so,
as
you
all
read,
and
no
staff
is
recommending
the
appointment
of
carla
thomas
as
chair
and
lashandra
rayfield,
as
vice
chair
as
I
will
be
stepping
down
after
tonight,
but
I
will
still
be
around
in
evanston
and
let
me
tell
you
my
two
teenagers
are
keeping
me
busy
enough.
So.
F
I
will
move
approval
and
nomination
of
carla
thomas
as
and
and
my
eighth
ward
resident
or
one
of
my
bosses
sandra
rayfield
smith,
as
co-chairs
for
the
equity
and
empowerment
commission.
B
I
believe
that
was
a
unanimous
vote
in
support.
Wonderful,
thank
you
all
so
much
and
welcome
lasandra,
who
I
know
is
not
on
the
call
but
will
be
joining
us
and
will
be
already
engaged
in
the
work
by
planning
next
month's
agenda
with
our
chair,
thomas
and
with
matt
at
the
city
helping
out.
So
thank
you
all.
I
will
stay,
of
course,
for
the
remainder
of
the
evening,
but
so
excited
that
we
will
have
these
two
incredible
leaders
chairing
this
commission
alrighty.
B
We
are
moving
on
to
our
next
agenda
item
and
thank
you
for
the
support
everyone
for
moving
our
discussion
regarding
the
environmental
equity
planning
investigation
report.
Andy
schlickman
is
back
to
go
into
a
little
more
detail
about
what
this
investigation
and
work
is
about.
We've
set
aside
10
minutes
for
you
andy
to
be
able
to
speak
more
on
this
work,
and
then
we
will
have
about
10
to
15
minutes
to
do
q
a
with
andy.
I
I
I'm
going
to
share
the
screen
too,
if
I
can
do
this
correctly,.
I
Alrighty,
does
everybody
see
the
first
slide
up
there
with
the
title
of
the
presentation?
Yes,
okay,
good!
Well,
first
of
all,
let
me
let
me
thank
you
for
having
having
me
back
and
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
just
you
know,
introduce,
I
think,
you're
all
probably
familiar
with
environmental
justice
evanston.
We
have
an
organization,
that's
been
around
this
city
for
a
number
of
years,
we're
relatively
small
but
active
group.
The
co-chairs
of
ej
evanston
are
janet
alexander
davis
and
rick
nelson
rick
is
here
on.
I
The
call
janet
is
trying
to
get
in
she's
run
into
some
technical
difficulties.
I'm
hoping
she
can
still
join
us,
but
I'm
not
optimistic
at
this
point
and
in
addition
to
myself,
we
have
four
other
members
active
members
of
the
group
so,
like
I
said,
we're
a
relatively
small
group,
but
we
hope
we're
accomplishing
a
lot
even
despite
our
small
numbers,
you
know,
as
we
sort
of
finished
up
the
last
time
you
know.
I
clearly
want
to
make
the
point
again
that
you
know
eje
wants
to
work
with
the
equity
empowerment
commission.
I
You
know
we
want
to
avoid
duplicating
effort
and
advancing
the
goals
of
each
group
and
really
try
to
create,
as
many
you
know,
synergies
between
the
two
organizations
as
we
can.
It
was
very
interesting
to
be
on
the
last
discussion
to
hear
about
the
community
equity
survey,
the
equity
review
scorecard,
and
it
became
apparent
those
either
overlap
or
potentially
overlap
with.
You
know
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
that
we'll
talk
about
in
a
little
bit
more
detail.
D
J
I
J
I
Make
sure
it's
as
good
as
possible,
we
would
like
to
suggest
that
maybe
each
organization
identify
a
liaison
for
for
going
forward.
Just
so,
we
don't
have
to
you
know,
talk
in
a
group
like
this
and
all
the
time
at
the
the
meetings
I've
offered
to
act
as
the
liaison
for
environmental
justice
evanston
and
would
be,
you
know,
welcome
to
have
somebody
from
your
organization
serve
as
a
liaison
too.
I
I
We
would
expect
that
they
would
represent
as
much
as
possible
a
cross-section
of
the
evanston
community,
along
with
some
key
people
from
city
staff
who
would
be
would
be
would
be
on
the
team.
Finally,
we
envisioned
that
one
person
each
from
this
organization-
equity,
environment,
commission,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
gonna.
J
I
To
janet
was
trying
to
reach
me
another
line,
maybe
rick.
Maybe
you
could
follow
up
with
janet,
so
I
don't
have
to
interrupt
the
presentation
too
much
and
that
you
know
there'd
be
one
person
from
this
group:
the
equity
empowerment,
commission,
one
person
from
the
evidence,
environmental
board
and
one
person
from
our
organization,
environmental
justice
evanston
who
would
serve
on
the
team,
and
this
is
really
in
keeping
with
what
was
provided.
I
I
think
in
the
resolution
I
think
we
everybody
was
provided
with
a
copy
of
the
resolution
at
the
last
meeting,
but
the
resolution
makes
it.
You
know.
J
I
Of
the
work
of
the
resolution,
this
environmental
investigation,
team
or
environmental
justice
investigation
team
would
consist
basically
of
two
groups.
We
envisioned
there
being
investigative
group
that
would
really
sort
of
lead
the
investigation
and
ensure
the
work
is
done
in
in
a
prompt
in
an
effective
manner,
and
they
would
also
probably
take
the
lead
on
doing
the
initial
initial
drafts
of
you
know
any
documents
that
come
out
of
this
work,
especially
the
final
report.
I
The
second
group
would
be
a
community
group
which
would
lead
the
public
engagement
effort
and
I'm
switching
to
the
next
slide.
Now
public
engagement
in
our
minds
and
is
really
required
by
the
the
environmental
justice
resolution,
would
would
be
a
very
robust
public
engagement
program.
We
would
expect
it
would
involve.
You
know,
participation
from
all
quarters
of
the
city,
that
it
would
be
proactive,
proactive
in
the
sense
that
the
investigation
team
and
especially
the
community
group,
would
go
out
and
seek
potential
interested
parties
in
the
community
and-
and
you.
J
I
Get
as
much
helpful
information
as
we
could
from
them,
and
we
also
want
to
emphasize
that
a
large
part
of
the
public
engagement
effort
really
should
involve
face-to-face
communications.
There's
nothing
wrong
with
surveys.
There's
nothing
wrong
with
you
know
online.
I
I
We
are
proposing
that
a
facilitator
investigator
be
hired
by
the
city
to
assist
with
this
work.
You
know
we're
all
a
bunch
of
volunteers.
We
have
a
real
interest
in
environmental
justice,
but
you
know
we
are
not
experts
in
conducting
this
type
of
investigation,
so
we
were
hopeful
that
a
facilitator
or
investigator
could
be
hired
and
and
we're
hoping
that
arpa
funding
would
be
available
to
do
this.
I
We
have
made
a
request
through
the
evanston
environmental
board,
for
arpa
funds
that
is
sitting
before
the
city
council
right
now
and
we're
hoping
that
that
will
move
forward
and
our
request
will
be
granted.
But
let
me
say,
at
least
from
our
perspective,
environmental
justice
evanston
we
are.
We
are
prepared
to
continue
with
working
people
to
move
this
forward.
I
I
Another
element
of
the
investigation
would
be
what
we
call
a
mapping
tool,
and
this
is
actually
specifically
required
by
one
of
the
provisions
of
the
environmental
justice
resolution.
I
think
it
may
be
called
a
gis
mapping
effort
fancy
name,
I
guess-
for
for
a
mapping
tool
on
a
computer.
J
I
Being
developed-
and
it
may
be
something
that
will
continue
to
be
tinkered
with
throughout
this
whole
effort,
we
would
expect
it
would
show
the
relationship
between
key
environmental
indicators
and
neighborhoods
in
the
city.
So,
in
addition
to
collecting
information
from
talking
to
people
in
the
public
engagement
effort,
you
know
we
would
have
a
map
too.
That
would
you
know,
inform
the
work
that
the
investigation
team
is
doing
and
be
available
to
the
community
throughout
and
hopefully,
even
afterwards
after
the
work
is
done.
I
It's
been
it's
great.
We
were
actually
able
to
get
a
grant
from
northwestern
to
to
get
some
of
their
people
to
help
with
this
work,
and
that's
that's-
that's
been
a
big
step
forward
for
us.
I
That
would
you
know
summarize
the
findings
and
and
make
you
know
specific
and
concrete
recommendations
to
the
city
about
steps
they
could
and
should
take
to
mitigate
environmental
injustices,
and
you
know
we're
very
much
aware
that,
in
addition
to
our
work,
there's
the
work
of
the
equity
empowerment
commission
in
in
similar
issues
in
similar
areas
and
also
the
carp
implementation
effort,
is
focusing
on
resiliency
in
the
context
of
their
work,
which,
which
also
you
know,
folds
into
an
overlap
somewhat
with
the
issue
of
environmental
justice.
I
So
you
know
we
clearly
expect
that
going
down
the
road.
You
know
we
would
be
as
we
prepare
these
recommendations
and
as
their
final
finalized,
that
an.
I
Be
made
to
coordinate
with
the
these
other
efforts
that
are
going
on
in
the
city,
so
our
timetable
is,
you
know.
Basically,
we
hope
to
have
this
all
done
in
the
next
two
years,
we're
proposing
to
the
city
that
the
investigation
began
in
july
of
this
year.
I
We
think
the
duration
of
the
investigation
would
be
you
know,
12
to
18
months,
and
you
know
that
would
take
us,
I
think,
probably
to
the
end
of
2023.
I
Now
we
have
briefed
city
officials
about
these
efforts
in
a
number
of
instances
and
settings
over
the
last
six
months.
Most
recently,
we
had
a
call
with
with
mayor
biss,
acting
city
manager,
gandurski
the
new
sustainability
and
resilience
coordinator,
cara
pratt
and
dave
stoneback,
the
director
of
public
works
and
outlined
for
them.
What
we're
thinking
we
actually
provided
them
with
three
documents
that
set
forth
in
a
little
bit
more
detail.
I
What
we're
talking
about
here
today,
just
last
week,
we
received
a
response
from
them
that
we,
we
believe,
was
generally
fairly
positive
and
we
have.
We
expect
we're
going
to
be
having
a
call
with
them
in
march
to
discuss
the
next
steps
for
for
moving
this
forward.
I
That
you
know,
one
of
the
key
key
steps
in
this
process
is,
is
working
closely
with
the
commission
and
and
other
organizations
at
the
city,
such
as
the
environment
board,
that
have
an
interest
in
this
very
quickly.
A
couple
other
things
that
ej
is
doing.
We've
been
conducting
listening
sessions
with
residents,
primarily
in
some
of
the
minority
black
neighborhoods
here
in
evanston,
and
the
reason
we're
doing
this
is
you
know
we
we
wanted
to
before.
I
We,
you
know
really
jumped
into
this
investigation,
learn
from
some
of
the
people
in
the
community
what
their
concerns
are
as
far
as
environmental
justice
issues
go,
and
we
thought
that
would
be
helpful
in
terms
of
you
know,
guiding
the
continuing
planning
for
this
investigation.
It's
really.
G
I
Sense
of
sort
of
yes
in
a
way
ground,
truth
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
we've
had
three
of
those
sessions
so
far,
our
fourth
and
last
one
will
be
next
week
and
we've
learned
a
lot
of
interesting
information.
That's
going
to
be
very
helpful
for
us,
and
the
last
thing
we've
worked
on
is
something
we
call
the
playbook,
an
environmental
justice
playbook.
I
That
is
basically
a
step-to-step
guide
for
addressing
environmental
complaints
that
that
residents
of
the
community
have,
and
it's
up
fairly
detailed
guidelines
for
how
you
would
go
about
investigating
these
issues
and
reporting
them
the
proper
way.
It
would
have
been
too
long
to
include
any
slides
here.
It's
about
a
four
or
five
page
document,
but
I
will
make
sure
that
a
copy
of
it
gets
to
the
right
person,
so
it
could
be
distributed
to
all
the
the
commissioners
after
this
call.
I
J
You
know
it
seems
like
time
is
at
a
premium
here,
so
I
would
actually
just
suggest
we
go
into
the
question
and
answer
session.
I
think
you
pretty
much
covered
everything
that
we
wanted
to
cover.
B
Sure
well,
thank
you.
So
much
all
right.
Commissioners,
I've
got
a
question
or
two
but
want
to
see
if,
if
anybody
else
has
questions
or
comments
for
andy
and
his
colleagues.
C
Madam
chair,
I
have
a
couple
comments.
First,
thanks
andy
and
rick
and
hold
e.j.e
criminal
justice
evanston.
For
this
it's
actually
quite
exciting.
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
collaboration
here,
I'm
really
interested
in
the
data
and
the
mapping
tool
and
the
development
of
indicators
that
I
think
are
going
to
be
useful
to
the
equity,
empowerment
commission
as
well.
C
I'm
sure
there
are
indicators
that
are
kind
of
environment,
specific,
like
access
to
parks
or
the
presence
of
lead
pipes
by
neighborhood
by
by
street
by
house,
but
I'm
I
would
be
interested
in
in
following
the
development
of
your
indicators
and
what
data
you'll
be
looking
at,
because
I'm
thinking
we
can
piggyback
on
a
lot
of
that
work
for
how
we
would
approach
everything
from
public
engagement
or
the
impact
of
the
policies
and
programs
that
we're
looking
to
study
too
so
and
that
you've
already
gotten
an
opportunity
with
northwestern
to
bring
some
of
their
resources
to
bear
on.
I
Thanks
jane-
and
you
know,
unfortunately,
jerry
garl,
who
some
of
you
may
know,
who's
also
on
the
environment
board-
has
been
the
leader
of
our
sort
of
sub
team
working
on
that
mapping
project,
and
I
wish
she
was
here
to
share
with
you
a
little
bit
more
detail.
But
you
know
at
a
very
high
level
there
there
are
probably
five
or
six
indicators
that
we
have
been
preliminarily
focusing
on
and
I
believe
it
includes
lead
pipes.
I
It
also,
you
know,
addresses
issues
like
noise,
air
pollution,
some
health
concerns,
none
of
that
is
by
any
means
spinal,
and
let
me
make
it
offer
jane
to
have
jerry
either
follow
prepare
something
that
we
can
follow
up
with
you
on.
That
would
show
you
at
a
high
level
where
that
work
is
at
this
time.
C
Great,
please,
and-
and
you
know
I
work
for
a
regional
planning
agency
and
they're
very
much
in
the
data
business
and
if
we
can
be
of
assistance
at
all,
giving
you
access
to
our
indicators
that
the
agency
looks
at
region-wide
or
to
help
you
with
the
data
to
support
it.
We
can
drill
down
to
census,
tracts
and
things
like
that,
and
I
can
connect
just
to
some
of
our
data
people
to
help
with
that.
If
that
would
be
valuable.
E
Yep,
thank
you
for
recognizing
me
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
Oh
sorry,
I
have
the
wrong
background
up
tonight,
so
just
ignore
that
one
of
my
other
organizations-
but
I
just
wanted
to
ask-
I
think
what
you're
proposing
kind
of
along
with
what
jane
was
mentioning,
is
really
interesting
and.
F
E
Was
wondering
if
you
might
consider
like
azure,
you
know
analyzing
the
data
and
sort
of
looking
at
some
of
those
indicators.
You
know
as
far
as
number
of
lead
types,
or
you
know
other
things
you
might
consider
if
you
would
be
interested
in
the
and
exploring
how
that
might
link
to
what's
out
there
publicly
as
far
as
disease,
prevalence
and
rates
of
like
obesity
or
rates
of
asthma,
other
sort
of
general,
like
health
indicators.
E
At
my
in
my
work,
blue
cross
blue
shield,
we
obviously
have
more
data
on
you
know
on
exactly
what
treatments
and
prescriptions
and
things
people
are
feeling,
but
we
often
try
to
look
at
a
population
level
and
look
at
like
zip
codes
or
to
find
certain
like
clusters,
or
you
know,
see
if
there's
anything
that
might
give
us
some
indication
in
terms
of
a
specific
need
or
a
specific
area
of
focus
from
from
a
health
systems
perspective.
E
And
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
might
be
interested
in
seeing
where
it
may
take
you
with
what
you're
collecting
and
knowing
that
oftentimes
things
like
pollution
and
lead
pipes
and
other
elements
of
environmental
injustice.
Right
are
often
appearing
in
the
same
communities
where
you
have
higher
rates
of
disease
prevalence.
So
just
something
I
was
wondering
if
you
all
had
considered
or
might
be
open
to
sort
of,
including
in
your
analysis.
I
I
think
the
answer
is
yes,
yes
and
yes,
if
I
got
everything
right
there,
we
are
definitely
interested
in
pursuing
health
issues.
We
think
that's
probably
a
fairly
high
priority
and
I
think
we'd
be
just
as
with
jane
we'd,
be
interested
in
following
up
with
you
and-
and
you
know
what
what
your
organization
that
you
just
mentioned
could
could
offer
us
in
that
regard.
I
I
do
have
to
say,
though,
that
in
addition
to
making
this
a
useful
tool
for
the
investigation,
we
want
to
make
it
a
useful
tool
for
the
community,
and
we
do
know
that
there
are
loads
and
loads
and
loads
of
information
out
there.
So
I
think
what
would
be
really
helpful
input
from
this
commission
and
from
people
who
are
familiar
and
interested
in
this
is
what
they
think.
I
The
most
important
indicators
are,
what
they're
really
key
indicators
on
there,
that
we
should
be
focusing
on,
and-
and
definitely
you
know,
health
indicators
or
a
set
of
health
indicators
are
somewhere
very
interested.
So
we
will
we,
we
will
follow
up
with
you.
We
will
be
reporting
back
to
jerry
and
the
team
on
this
and
one
way
or
another
we'll
get
in
touch
with
you.
J
Just
real
quickly,
one
thing
I
would
add
to
that
is
with
a
tool
like
this.
There
can
always
be
like
a
version,
one
a
version,
two,
a
version:
three
lots
of
times:
people
think
everything
has
to
go
in
this
tool.
You
know
from
day
one,
but
I
think
that
there
will
be
over
time
there's
there
will
be
a
core
set
of
data
layers
that
will
be
there
from
the
start
and
then
over
time
you
know
there.
Things
can
also
always
be
added
to
this
tool.
J
So
you
know
something
just
to
keep
in
mind
because
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
interest
from
a
lot
of
people
as
far
as
specific
things
that
they
want
to
see.
But
you
know
the
type
of
input
that
you're
providing
tonight
is
great
input
and
I'm
sure
we
will
follow
up
with
both
you
and
jane
to
to
get
more
input
in
the
future.
B
I
know
andy
and
rick
I
my
question.
I've
got
two
questions,
maybe
one
question
and
then
just
some
comments.
How
much
do
you
think
it'll
cost
to
pull
this
off,
and
I
know
that
you,
you
said
you've
you're
applied
to
for
some
arpa
money.
You
know
how
much
will
it
cost
and
you
know
if
you
know
I
don't
know
how
much
you've
applied
for
arpa
dollars.
But
what
will
it
take
to
run
this
and
you
know
wondering
how
else
we
can
help
you?
B
I
mean
we
don't
we
don't
have
much
of
a
budget
ourselves
but
want
to
make
sure
that
we
support
that
this
happens
and
wondering
what
you're
thinking
and
then
my
other
question
is
about
engaging
other.
You
know
engaging
those
that
are
hard
to
engage
or
that
have
historically
not
been
engaged,
but
tell
us,
of
course
tell
us
you
know
how
much
would
it
take
to
pull
this
off.
I
Well,
let's
talk
about
the
facilitator
investigator.
I
guess
you
could
all
also
say
the
consultant,
but
we
think
it'd
take
150
000
over
the
two
years
to
hire
an
investigator
that
would
be
serve
the
role
that
we're
looking
for.
Who
would
really
you
know,
act
as
one
of
the
main
cogs
in
the
investigation.
You
would
work
with
both
groups
on
the
investigation
team
to
move
their
work
forward,
both
the
investigation,
part
of
the
work
and
the
community
engagement,
which,
of
course,
are
related
anyway.
I
You
know
that's
based
not
on
any
for
formal
requests
or
offers
or
proposals.
That's
based
on
the
experience
that
some
of
us,
you
know
environmental
justice
evans,
have
had
in
our
prior
lives.
I
You
know
working
with
consultants
on
projects
of
this
magnitude,
so
that's
that's
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
over
two
years
after
that
alejandra.
I
think
we're
really
hopeful
that
you
know
most
of
the
costs
will
be
covered
by
the
city
and
not
necessarily
in
the
way
of
out-of-pocket
costs,
but
through
services
they
can
provide
to
us.
You
know,
in
terms
of
you
know,
mailing
things
you
know
providing
some
staff
support
to
organize.
I
I
You
know
get
the
investigation
team
set
up
and
find
interesting.
People
who
are
willing
to
you
know
serve
on
the
investigation
team
and-
and
you
know
we
have
part
of
our
proposals
to
the
city
right
now
or
are
a
plan
and
a
program
and
a
schedule
for
doing
that,
which
you
know
shouldn't
and
correct
me
overall,
shouldn't
involve
really
the
need
for
any
cash
outlays.
I
We
just
need
some
people
power
and
some
some
help
from
the
city
and,
like
I
said,
you
know
that
the
response
so
far
has
been
generally
good.
I
do
think
the
city's
a
little
bit
concerned
about
you
know
what
this
may
mean
for
their
staff
over
the
long
run,
but
we've
we've
got
some
thoughts
as
to
how
we
can
try
to
share
the
work
with
them
to
take
some
of
the
burden
off
the
city.
I
It
may
very
well
be
that
you
know,
as
we
move
into
this,
getting
some
assistance
from
you
know.
The
people
on
this
call
at
the
commission.
People
from
the
environment
board
will
be.
You
know
useful
and
helpful
in
that
regard,
so
rick
any
anything
more
to
add
at
that
point,.
J
The
one
additional
area
would
be
the
gis
mapping
tool
itself,
so
we
actually
have
already
interacted
with
the
the
person
with
the
city,
who
is
the
gis
mapping
expert?
The
city
has
a
platform
that
you
know,
they've
already
paid
for
it
already
exists,
and
we
would
actually
build
this
sitting
on
top
of
that
platform.
J
So
we
worked
with
someone
at
the
city.
We
actually
at
this
point
in
time,
have
a
I
guess
what
it
would
be:
a
relatively
primitive
functional
prototype
that
can
actually
put
layers
up
on
the
screen.
We
have
some
initial
layers
defined,
but
it's
all
somewhat
preliminary
at
this
point
in
time,
but
we
kind
of
got
enough
into
the
detail
of
the
use
of
that
product
that
the
costs
associated
with
that
would
probably
be
minimal,
because
the
pieces
are
already
there
if
there
were
costs
associated
with
acquiring
any
specific
data
layers.
J
B
Yeah
yeah
yeah
and
I
was
just
also
gonna
comment
and
you
may
not
need
this,
but
as
a
graduate
of
the
college
of
urban
planning,
I
know
that
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
very
capable
graduate
students
over
there
who
are
who
geek
out
on
gis
and
are
probably
looking
for
some
practical
experience
so
happy
to
make
that
connection.
B
My
my
second
is
more
of
a
thought
and
you
know
how
we
can
be
thought
partners
as
the
as
the
equity
and
empowerment
commission
about
how
to
engage.
You
know
predominantly
our
communities
of
color
right
who
disproportionately
are
impacted
by
environmental
injustice.
B
I
try
not
to
use
the
word
minority
since
we
are
not
a
minority,
but
just
to
say
you
know
happy
to
be
of
assistance.
I
will
not
no
longer
be
sitting
on
the
commission.
Obviously
this
is
the
commission
that
can
be
thought
partners
in
engaging
to
communities
directly
impacted,
but
are
typically
not
part
or
not
considered
thought
partners,
and
so
again
just
make
sure
you
continue
to
lean
on
this
commission
and
folks
who
are
in
the
community
and
have
those
strong,
trusting
partnerships
with
various
communities.
B
I'm
assuming
you're.
Also
thinking
about
how
to
make
yourself
how
to
make
this
project
accessible
to
those
who
may
not
be
english
speakers
who
maybe
have
you,
know
some
challenges
in
being
able
to
be
physically
able
to
participate
in
anything
outdoors,
but
again,
just
lean
on
this
commission
and
for
those
those
folks
that
have
trusting
relationships
in
the
community
that
we
really
need
to
engage,
not
just
as
recipients
but
as
thought
partners
and
leaders.
D
D
And
your
comments
about
you
know:
I
worked
in
the
disabled
people
that
used
wheelchairs
for
mobility
over
the
rainbow
association.
I
was
the
director
of
operations
for
seven
years,
so
that
is
definitely
on
my
radar
to
connect
with
with
people
there
in
other
places,
because
I'm
born
and
raised
in
evanston
been
here
78
years.
So
I
I
know
a
few
things
and
I
know
a
few
people
that
we
need
to
also
you
know
contact.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
listening
tonight.
D
F
Yes,
thank
you
all
for
joining
and
please
reach
out
I'd
love
to.
I
know
I've
met
with
jerry
garl
already,
but
I'd
love
to
stay
in
contact
with
this
group
and,
however,
I
can
support
from
the
council
happy
to,
of
course,
do
that.
D
B
Wonderful
well,
if
we
don't
have
any
more
questions,
I
want
to
thank
our
colleagues
from
our
environmental
justice
work
organization.
We're
excited
about
the
work
that
you
and
the
collective
us
will
be
moving
together.
We
are
now
at
7,
17,
so
great
use
of
time.
I
want
to
now
pass
it
on.
Oh
man,.
K
B
K
Quick
thing:
yes,
of
course,
I
heard
in
andy's
presentation
that
they
had
proposed
the
idea
of
a
liaison
and
I'd
be
happy
to
play
that
role.
If,
if
you'll
have
me,
if
there's
not
anyone
else
who
wants
to
fill
it
I'd
be
happy
to
help
with
that.
B
And
thanks
for
that
katie,
I
you
know,
I'm
glad
that
you
lifted
it
up,
because
I
would
hate
to
leave
this
meeting
without
making
sure
that
we
made
that
connection.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Absolutely
wonderful!
Okay!
I
think
now
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
before
we
move
on
and
thank
the
team
for
joining
us.
B
Okay,
we're
going
to
go
back
to
the
agenda,
so
thank
you,
everybody
for
your
engagement
and
your
patience
and
that
we
were
going
to
get
an
update
on
the
on
our
community
equity
survey
and
I
wonder
carla-
were
you
going
to
lead
this
discussion?
I
know
you're
multitasking
and
driving
yeah.
H
It's
more
matthew,
there's
one
thing
matthew
needs
from
us,
which
is
a
snippet
of
what's
going
to
go
out
in
the
go
out
in
the
emails
that
go
from
the
mayor
and
the
council
folks,
but
we
do
have
an
approved
version
of
the
survey
and
I
think
if
you
want
to
give
people
a
link
of
that
both
in
english
and
spanish,
so
that
that's
kind
of
ready
to,
I
would
say
a
proof
tonight,
but
it's
less
about
you
know
going
back
in
the
weeds,
it's
more
about
the
formatting
in
this
new
system.
H
It's
in
the
survey
monkey
as
well
as
we
do
have
I'm
going
to
combine
this
point
with
the
next
point,
because
it's
all
intertwined,
we
are
going
to
kind
of
ask
for
everybody
to
go
into
the
go
into
the
agenda.
There
should
be
a
link
there
to
the
brainstorming
session
that
we
started
a
brainstorm
of
who
else
do
we
want
to
utilize
within
our
community
to
from
in
a
more
grassroots
method,
to
the
disseminate
this?
H
This
survey,
so
matthew
will
be
working
with
all
the
city
channels,
working
with
all
the
folks
to
get
it
out
on
their
newsletter
working
with
the
mayor
and
wherever
else
places
that
they
send
it
through.
We
will
be
responsible
me,
lashandra
and
darlene
will
be
responsible
for
sending
that
to
sort
of
the
other
like
grassroots,
like
the
other
individuals
in
the
community,
and
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
in
that
document
is
break
it
out
to
who?
H
What
are
the
groups
that
we
want,
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
voice
from
that.
Often
those
emails
just
sent
by
the
mayor,
whoever
don't
often
reach
and
then
who,
within
our
community
kind
of
what
could
help
us
kind
of
reach
those
folks.
H
So
the
the
point
here
is
that,
like,
if
you
look
under
the
african-american
grouping
and
if
we
have
black
there
african-american,
I
think
under
there
someone
had
put
reverend
neighbors,
and
so
the
whole
point
is
that
then
we
will
be
sending
an
email
to
reverend
neighbors,
explaining
what
the
survey
is
about,
explaining
that
we
are
specifically
interested
in
hearing
the
voice
of
the
black
community
and
asking
him
to
send
to
his
network,
in
whatever
form,
he's
comfortable
kind
of
impressing
upon
them.
The
importance
of
answering
this
survey.
H
So
if
there
are
other,
I
would
like
everybody
to
sort
of
we're
going
to
take
five
minutes
now.
I
will
not
be
doing
it
while
driving,
but
I
have
spent
a
little
bit
of
time
going
through
there
as
well
kind
of
run
down.
That
list
take
five
minutes
and
any
person
that
you
know.
If
you
know
the
name,
and
you
don't
have
the
contact
information
ever
since
small
enough
I'll
find
the
contact
information.
H
K
H
Final
end,
but
this
is
our
attempt
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
just
saying
we
want
to
hear
from
people
with
disabilities.
We're
not
just
saying
we
want
to
hear
from
the
asian
community
that
we're
actually
going
out
of
our
way
throughout
this
community.
B
So
if
you
all
can
take
the
next
few
minutes,
the
next
four
or
five
minutes
and
go
in
there,
I
see
some
names,
not
a
whole
lot
very
few
contacts.
So
if
you
can
populate
that
now
or
at
least
open
it
up,
so
you
can
populate
it
over
the
next
day
weekend.
That
would
be
very
helpful.
B
Let
me
just
share
carla
and
matt.
I
looked
at
the
spanish,
it
actually
looks
very
strong.
There
are
just
there's
one
acronym
by
pac
that
we
will
have
to
translate
because
that
does
not
trade.
You
know,
I
don't
think
a
spanish
speaker
would
know
what
biplc
stands
for
happy
to
help
fix
that
acronym
and
I
might
even.
E
B
H
Mean
carla
yeah,
if
anybody's
having
us
use
the
excel
spreadsheet
or
they
later
on,
forget
where
it
is
or
whatever
and
you
think
of
somebody
just
email
me,
I
you
know
I'll
be
like
helping
coordinate
the
sending
it
out
to
the
different
folks.
So,
even
if
you
think
about
it
a
week
from
now
just
send
me
an
email,
I
will
get
it
out.
K
E
E
E
Yeah,
when
I
click
in
the
thing
it
doesn't
do
anything
all
right,
I'll
figure
it
out.
B
A
If,
if
you're
comfortable
and
happy
to
make
those
edits
in
the
document,
then
that
will
be
perfectly.
B
B
H
So,
towards
the
end
of
our
meeting
last
month,
as
we
were
sharing
what
was
done
on
what
was
done
so
far
on
the
scorecard,
so
the
equity
score
card
lashandra
made
a
very
good
point
that
without
some
teeth
right,
we
can
make
the
most
perfect,
not
saying
that
we
will
make
the
perfect.
But
I
mean
we
could
make
the
most
perfect
scorecard.
H
But
if
there
is
nothing
mandating
the
city
to
get
to
the
point
where
they
use
it
themselves,
which
is
ideal
or
pay
attention
to
when
we
score
things
which
is
kind
of
how
it's
set
up
now,
because
I
feel
like
that's,
that's
that
that's
we
can
control
ourselves
and
we
have
power
to
fill
it
out,
whereas
we
don't
necessarily
have
power
to
mandate
that
all
through
the
city,
they
fill
it
out
as
they're,
creating
policy
changes
or
initiatives
that
we
could
make
the
most
perfect
document.
H
H
You
should
be
using
it
or
at
least
paying
attention
when
it's
used
or
whatever
point
we
can
get
to
agreement
on,
and
so
we
were
hoping
that,
as
we
have
a
small
group
of
lashandra
darlene
and
I
who
are
working
towards
finalizing
the
the
scorecard
that
we
could
have
another
group,
preferably
when
I
say
preferably
like
you
know
somebody
who's
willing
to
take
it
on,
but
also
somebody
who's
familiar
with
the.
H
F
I'll
volunteer
myself
for
the
role
for
at
least
one
of
the
slots.
H
Yeah
I
mean
like
I'm
guessing,
there's
some
way
that
these
ordinances
work
that
one
has
to
kind
of
know.
So,
aside
from
like,
ultimately
what
we
want
to
be
in
the
audience,
I
think
they
feel
like
they're,
normally
written
in
some
sort
of
way,
and
so,
if
anybody
else
wants
to
volunteer
to
work
with
iran
to
be
on
that,
like
figuring
out
what?
What
are
we
asking
them
to
do?
H
First
of
all,
and
what
do
we
think
there
would
be
an
appetite
for
which
would
be
actually
ideal
to
have
devon
on
there,
because
he
can
kind
of
feel
out
within
the
city
council,
and
we
don't
want
to
just
I
mean
as
much
as
I'd
like
to
be
idealistic
and
be
like.
Oh,
we
would
like
to
write
an
ordinance
saying
that
city
council
and
the
city
needs
to
like
turn
in
one
of
these,
with
every
single
like
that
would
be
lovely.
H
But
what
is
actually
a
practical
first
step
that
we
think
we
can
get
traction
on
and
if
we
can
always
push
push
to
update
the
ordinance
again
in
a
year
or
two.
But
what
do
we
think
we
could
lift
off
the
ground
versus
asking
for
the
whole
world
and
then
nothing
moving
forward
so
yeah.
F
If
I
can
just
suggest
carla
that
this
actually
seems
like
it
might
be
well
poised,
not
for
a
subcommittee
but
the
main
committee
to
think
about
this
as
a
whole,
and
what
do
we,
particularly
if
we're
talking
about
some
way
to
devise
teeth
for
this?
I
would
just
you
know
I
mean
I
guess
it
could
be
a
subcommittee,
but
I'd
love
to
hear
from
the
full
committee.
F
You
know
what
it
is
that
you
know
we
see
as
the
ideal
and
then
synthesize
that
into
that's
almost
something
I
could
just
do
you
know
on
my
own.
I
hear
if
you
just
say
what
you
want
and
then
I
can
kind
of.
H
Okay,
so
matthew.
What
then
we
do
is
put
this
early
on
the
as
one
of
the
core
elements
of
the
next
meeting,
where
we
will.
H
With
the
idea
of
these
equity
processes,
it's
normally
created
as
an
internal
document
that
whatever
initiative
policy
change,
whatever
they're
they're
deciding
on
as
the
cake
is
being
baked,
just
as
you
normally
have
to
put
in
a
budget
right.
You
can't
go
over
and
spend
money
without
telling
people
to
budget
and
return
an
investment
or
like
what
you
know.
What
will
you
be
getting
back
from
spending
such
money?
You
would
have
to
sort
of
fill
out.
One
of
these
forms
as
you're
baking,
the
cake,
whatever
the
policy
change,
etc.
H
Is
we
the
way
it's
being
created
today?
It's
that
a
cake
is
being
baked
over
there,
because
we
don't
work
for
the
city
and
we,
as
the
equity
committee,
would
be
sort
of
speaking
to
whoever
is
in
charge
leading
the
project.
The
policy
change,
whatever
the
initiative,
and
we
would
be
scoring
how
we
feel
it's
happening
because
we
didn't,
we
don't
have
control
over
the
city,
the
city
manager.
H
We
could
decide
as
a
group,
next
quarter
of
the
next
meeting,
that
we're
gonna,
hey
carla,
quit,
making
us
think
small,
I'm
open
to
that
right,
like
there's
two
sides
to
every
coin:
there's
no
one
right
way
to
do
everything
like
you
could
say:
quick
quit
making
us
thanks
for.
Let's
ask
for
the
whole
enchilada
fine
great,
let's
we'll
discuss
that
as
a
group,
no
problem,
but
we
decide
whether
we're
writing
it
as
us
or
we're
asking
that
certain
entities,
whether
that's
the
city.
H
When
I
say
city
management
office,
I
don't
mean
exactly
the
city
management
office,
but
the
city
staff,
all
through
all
the
departments,
the
permitting
department,
the
parks
and
rec
department,
all
of
that
or
we're
gonna,
stick
to
how
it's
written.
Now
that
we
scored.
You
know
once
we're
aware
of
the
policy
that
needs
to
be
evaluated
and
we
could
talk
about
what
those
teeth
could
look
like
so
matt
if
you
could
put
that
on
the
calendar
for
a
larger
discussion,
because
it's
getting
late
in
the
the
date
now
now.
H
I
think
I
alejandra
to
take
on
this
as
a
fuller
discussion,
but
that'll
be
one
of
the
main
things
we
discuss
next
time
and
then
once
we
have
the
bullet
points
or
an
idea
of
how
we
want
to
proceed.
I
appreciate
iran
offering
his
ample
ample
ample
experience
with
these
kind
of
things,
to
kind
of
write
it
in
whatever
jog
any
way.
That
needs
to
be.
B
Okay,
folks,
I
think
we
have
gone
through
all
the
agenda
items.
Are
there
any
announcements
or
anything
to
share
okay,
I've
I've
actually
sent
messages
to
both
andy
and
katie
to
make
sure
they
exchange
contact
information.
So
you
all
can
discuss
offline.
B
H
F
Question
so
I
I've
had
a
member
of
a
council
or
commission
somewhere
else
in
illinois
reach
out
with
interest
about
the
equity
empowerment.
Commission
is
there.
I
don't
know
if
it's
maybe
I
I
would
say
it's
probably
not
ideal
or
appropriate
for
a
meeting.
F
But
if
there's
anyone
else
who
would
maybe
like
to
join
me
in
a
conversation
and
talk
about
you
know
the
the
history
of
the
equity,
empowerment,
commission
and
kind
of
explain
how
we
came
to
be
and
I'd
love
to
well
just
reach
out
to
me,
and
then
we
can
figure
out
how
we
schedule
that
I'd
love
to
have
some
assistance,
as
I'm
fairly
new
to
this
committee,
and
I
was
not
one
of
the
lawmakers
that
was
a
part
of
creating
it.
F
F
H
Then,
oh
sorry.
F
H
F
And
maybe
I
also
meant
to
ask
a
former
alderman
grover
as
well
so
I'll
reach
out
to
her,
and
I
think
she
can
provide
a
lot
of
that
and
then
lastly,
I'll
just
say:
there's
a
ninth
ward
forum
going
on.
So
anyone
who
is
interested
in
learning
about
the
you
know
our
next
ninth
ward,
alderman.
You
can
tune
into
that
and
you
know,
learn
something
new
and
hear
a
bit
about
the
folks
who
are
vying
for
the
seat
have
a
great
night.
Everyone.
H
Else
I
I
wanted
to
kind
of
just
say
a
few
words.
As
we
know
tonight
is
alejandra's.
Last
night
representing
us,
as
a
committee
alejandra
has,
as
she
says,
is
one
of
the
ogs,
and
she
has
been
here
since
the
very
beginning.
H
She
is
responsible
for
roping
me
into
the
job
of
wheelchair,
and
has
I
mean
I
think
it
would
be
hard
to
deny
the
passion
the
will
the
strength,
the
dedication
that
alejandra
brought
to
to
this
position
from
the
very
beginning,
with
a
special
passion
for
making
sure
that
the
city,
you
know
sort
of
lives,
up
lives
up
to
its
commitments,
around
language,
accessibility
and
making
sure
that
you
know
it's
not
just
a
performative
desire
or
performative
statements
that
it
engages
with
the
latinx
community
of
evanston.
H
And
so
again
I
want
to
take
this
moment
to
say
thank
you
to
alejandra
for
the
many
many
years
of
commitment
time,
energy
stress
yelling,
because
sometimes
you
know
it
takes
some
of
that
to
get
it
done
or
to
get
hurt
and
all
the
effort
that
you
put
into
this
committee-
and
we
are
indeed
indeed
grateful.
B
G
But
I'm
just
going
to
say
I
encourage
all
of
you
to
be
as
brave
as
alejandra
has
been,
in
speaking
truth
to
various
people
who
are
sort
of
impressed
with
their
own
power
and
alejandra
ain't.
Afraid
of
nothing.
So
keep
that
up.
