Some
of
them
there
wasn't
enough
information
to
understand
whether
they
will
join
or
not.
So
I
will
be
calling
their
name
just
in
case.
If
there's
anybody
that
wanted
to
speak,
that
provided
a
written
comment
but
was
planning
to
speak.
I
invite
you
to
raise
your
hand
with
the
feature
at
the
bottom
of
your
screen
and
we
should
be
able
to
let
you
speak,
but
for
at
this
time
I
have
about
five
or
six
people
who
have
not
shared
which
topic
they
want
to
speak
about.
G
G
H
A
couple
of
things
that
I
wanted
to
touch
base
on
was
I
work
in
the
building
and
we
also
do
remote
work
right
now,
but
I
have
seen
the
condition
our
building
is
in
and
it's
it's
deteriorating
little
by
little
and
we
just
desperately
need
this
funding
for
one.
I
have
a
couple
of
things.
The
air
conditioner,
especially
in
my
office,
blows
a
fuse
every
time
it
turns
on,
especially
when
it's
really
really
hot
out.
I
need
the
ac
to
go
on
the
bathrooms
on
all
the
floors.
H
H
H
We
also
have
tenants
in
the
building,
so
we
need
workable
bathrooms,
the
ceiling
and
the
fac
room,
where
I
work
from
you
can
tell
that
there
was
a
leak
prior,
so
the
ceiling
is
damaged.
On
top,
I
do
have
asthma,
so
that
concerns
me
the
heater
and
boiler
in
the
winter.
Sometimes
it
goes
off
so
we're
stuck
without
heat.
It's
not
regulated
throughout
the
whole
building,
so
some
sections
in
the
building
are
really
extremely
hot
and
some
of
them
are
nuts
the
elevators
keep
breaking
down.
H
We
need
those
for
senior
citizens
and
handicapped
participants
that
we
may
have
that's
just
a
bit
of
what's
going
on
in
the
building.
I'm
sure
there's
a
lot
lot
more,
but
I
can't
stress
this
enough.
We
definitely
need
this
funding
to
help
the
community
because
they
use
our
building.
I
do
parenting
classes
and
parent
coaching
there,
so
we
have
people
coming
into
our
facility
once
we
open
when
everything
goes
back
to
normal.
H
G
I
Hi,
can
you
guys
hear
me?
Okay?
Yes,
we
can
okay,
my
name
is
debbie
reynolds
and
I
work
for
the
family
focus
middle
school
and
I'm
working
with
the
children
there
and
our
classroom.
Oh,
my
goodness,
we
need
a
classroom.
The
fountains
in
the
classroom
don't
work.
We
have
one
toilet
in
the
classroom
that
the
children
don't
want
to
use.
We
don't
have
water
where
the
kids
can
have
we're
able
to
drink.
J
I
So
we
go
across
the
way
to
fleetwood
to
get
water
for
the
kids.
As
you
all
know,
today
was
103
or
above
so
that
was
the
issue
that
we
have.
The
kids
want
to
come
to
family
focus
and
others
want
to
come
to
family
focus
and
share
the
wonderful
things
that's
going
on
at
family
focus,
but
if
you
don't
have
things
working,
how
often
can
you
come
and
be
there
for
the
community
and
it's
a
wonderful
place?
I
K
J
A
whole
I
had
a
whole
speech,
but
I
didn't
got
nervous
now,
but
my
name
is
carol.
Singleton
I've
been
a
part
of
family
focus.
Oh
my
gosh.
I
don't
even
know
how
long
since
I
was
like
a
teenage
mom
so
that
started
like
over
on
church
street.
So
I've
been
a
part
of
family
focus
right
now.
I'm
part
of
family
focus
for
the
grandparents
group
that.
L
J
Every
week,
but
I've
seen
a
lot
of
different
stuff
with
family
focus.
I
wish
that
some
of
the
things
that
they
used
to
do
would
come
back
too,
like
helping
people
being
part
of
a
team
like
teenagers
being
teen
moms.
That's
the
way
I
was
when
I
started
at
family
focus.
I
was
a
teenage
mom
and
I
had
a
older
mom
who
helped
me
through
my
teenage
years
of
being
a
teenage
mom.
J
J
I've
been
a
school
bus
driver
for
like
22
years,
so
I've
been
around
a
long
time
in
everston
but
yeah
they
we
need
the
funding
to
help
out,
because
my
granddaughter
was
going
to
family
focus
too.
I
mean
my
kids
went
to
family
focus
growing
up
after
school
program.
They
enjoyed
it,
they
loved
it.
It
was
a
nice
place
for
them
to
go
to
be
off
the
streets,
keep
them
out
of
trouble.
J
M
Yeah
I
muted
myself,
I
didn't
realize
I
was
going
to
be
called
sorry
about
that.
That's
okay!
Well,
my
name
is
helen
hari
and
I
started
my
internship
of
family
focus
in
2010
and
I
retired
from
family
focus
in
2019,
and
I
went
back
to
work
with
them
again
contractually.
So
it's
been
a
part
of
my
life
for
a
long
time
and
I
work
with
nancy
mendoza
in
the
advocacy
program.
I,
as
I
started
out
actually
one
of
the
first
workers
when
we
got
the
advocacy
program
and
nancy
came
six
years
ago.
M
I
trade
her
she's
been
an
amazing
worker.
She
was
before
me
and
I'm
not
going
to
keep
taking
up
any
more
time,
but
most
of
the
thing
that
nancy
talked
about
is
something
that
I
also
wrote
with
her
the
problems
that
we
had.
We've
always
had
this
problem
nancy
and
I
and
also
our
supervisor,
all
have
asthma
and
I
never
was
diagnosed
with
asthma
before
working
a
family
focus.
Each
one
of
us
take
medication
for
asthma
because
of
the
leak
in
the
ceiling
and
probably
a
possible
mold.
M
So
the
building
is
great
treasures
to
the
community.
I've
seen
so
many
things
happen
and
I'm
pretty
sure
everyone
from
evanston
in
this
group
tonight
know
what
family
focus
is
all
about
and
the
program
that
is
provided
for
the
community.
So
thank
you
again
for
having
us
tonight
and
I
wish
that
you
guys
would
consider
family
focus
it's
a
great
great
program.
M
We
do
a
lot
for
the
program
for
the
family
that
comes
to
family
focus
for
the
for
everybody
who
lives
around
that
neighborhood
and
the
kids
especially
really
needs
to
have
this
building
fixed
up,
so
they
could
continue
to
come
here
and
get
the
services
that
they
need
so
they're
not
on
the
streets.
Thank
you
thank
you
and
thank
you.
Thank
you.
N
N
N
So
I
want
to
tell
you,
but
multiply
it
times,
a
thousand
there's
so
much
creativity
and
development
and
impact
on
people's
lives.
So
much
support,
and
I'm
just
going
to
say
that
for
me
I
would
the
16
years.
I've
been
at
family
focus,
have
changed
me
profoundly
as
a
person,
I'm
so
thankful
to
be
there.
N
G
G
G
Yeah
we
so
we
have
no
one
that
will
speak
they'll
provide
a
written
comment.
I
do
have
two
people
that
signed
up
to
speak
that
provided
a
different
one
provided
a
marcia
robinson
was
looking
to
speak
around
the
fifth
ward
school
and
we
have
carlos
b
sutton.
That's
looking
to
talk
about
the
census
region,
8092
whoa,
so
I
don't
know
yeah.
G
A
They're
not
yeah,
okay.
Well,
let's,
let's
move
to
our
first
item
of
new
business
old
business,
which
is
the
funding
request
for
the
evanston
one
stop
shop
and
I
I
will.
I
will
be
chairing
this
discussion,
but
I
need
to
say
that
I'm
basically
recusing
myself
from
any
vote
on
the
issue.
Since
I
I'm
a
member
of
the
evanston
community.
O
A
G
G
So
we
have
a
slide
with
some
additional
information
that
was
provided
by
the
team
at
cnt,
elevate
and
edc,
and
they
will
be
speaking
to
it
and
providing
some
additional
information
before
we
go
into
an
update
around
the
scoring
that
was
provided
by
the
committee
members
that
did
not
recuse
themselves.
Okay,
okay,.
P
Yeah
I'll
speak
first
and
then
robbie
and
hank
will
will
join
in
and
in
response
to
further
questions.
Does
that
work?
Yep?
Okay,
we're
great!
Well!
Thank
you
for
making
time
for
us
again
again.
My
name
is
bob
dean,
I'm
the
ceo
at
cnt
and
I'm
joined
here
by
robbie,
marcus
with
ebc,
as
well
as
hank
glove
with
elevate.
We
presented
last
time,
so
I'm
not
going
to
to
go
through
the
that
whole
thing
again,
but
just
remind
everyone.
P
The
concept
of
a
one-stop
shop
is
what
we're
presenting
here,
which
is
meant
to
make
it
easier
to
access
housing,
rehab
services
for
low
and
moderate
income,
evidenced
in
residence
for
climate
resilience,
energy
efficiency
and
healthy
homes.
So
we
do
mean
this
to
both
achieve
the
climate
and
the
equity
goals
of
the
city.
So
I
wanted
to
take
a
minute
to
just
respond
to
questions
that
had
come
up
since
the
last
in
the
last
meeting.
Ever
since
then
so.
P
First,
on
community
support,
we
included
a
couple
of
support
letters
in
the
material,
and
also
you
saw
a
couple
of
comments
come
in.
We
also
I'll
just
know,
presented
at
the
fifth
ward
meeting
on
on
may
26th
to
a
positive
reception
which
we
thought
was
important.
That
would
be
one
of
the
the
main
geographic
target
area.
P
So
so
the
intent
here
would
be
to
place
restrictions
on
landlords
who
participate
in
this
program
and
that
so
exactly
what
those
restrictions
are.
We
need
to
work
out,
but
it
could
be
anything
from
from
keeping
rents
from
being
raised
for
a
certain
number
of
years
to
attaching
it
to
a
fair
market.
Rent
calculation
does
periodically
to
having
a
certain
percentage
of
units
be
affordable
to
people
under
evanston's
median
income.
P
So
we
laid
out
these
ideas
initially
in
the
program
design
for
this,
that
we
did
a
year
ago,
but
didn't
come
up
with
a
firm
recommendation
for
what
the
answer
would
be
and
how
we
would
exactly
do
that.
So
our
proposal
is
to
spend
the
first
month
or
two
if
this
is
approved
working
with
an
advisory
group
that
we
proposed
to
put
together
to
figure
out
exactly
what
those
restrictions
would
be
that
we
would
place
on
landlord.
P
I
think
the
idea
here
is
not
to
make
it
so
onerous
that
no
one
would
want
to
participate,
but
also
preserve
affordability,
which
is
a
critical
part
of
what
we
have
always
been
trying
to
do
here.
So
so
we
think
that's
a
good
point,
we're
glad
that
came
up,
and
we
will
address
that
fully
once
we
get
into
program
design.
We
also
wanted
to
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
funding
leverage.
P
P
I
would
also
just
mention
in
terms
of
location,
for
this
we
are
talking
to
family
focus
and
that
may
end
up
being
the
right
place
for,
like
the
the
in-office
version
of
the
one-stop
shop,
where
services
would
be
largely
where
intake
would
largely
occur,
but
that's
still
an
ongoing
conversation.
That's
not
a
firm
commitment
on
anyone's
part.
Yet
so
I'm
sure
I
missed
some
things
there.
We
just
wanted
to
go
through
the
main
responses.
P
A
A
D
Q
Q
So
I
think
that
it's
actually
critical
that
we
do
something
in
market
because
I
think
otherwise
it's
they
used
to
use
the
term
shovel
ready
whenever
you're
going
to
do
a
a
capital
program,
but
it
you
really
have
to
be
shovel
ready
for
this
type
of
program
too,
and
building
the
capacity
and
the
ability
to
do
it.
I
think,
is
critical.
R
If
I,
if
I
may
on
this
on
this
issue
of
the
total
amount
of
funding,
we
are
intending
to
leverage
every
available
source
of
funding
into
this
program
that
currently
exists.
So
there
are
utility
programs,
there
are
financing
programs
that
are
currently
available
and
will
become
available
as
the
state
comes
up
with
its
own
green
bank
over
the
coming
years.
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
responses.
I
also
will
I'm
very
interested
in
seeing
how
the
restrictions
on
for-profit
landlords
will
be
placed,
because
you
know
affordability
to
the
low
to
moderate
income,
landlords
or
residents.
Whoever
applies
for
the
program,
it's
paramount
for
the
funds
that
this
committee
is
assigning
to
different
projects.
F
P
R
R
Different
tools,
but
we
do,
as
bob
said,
we
need
to
spend
some
time
making
sure
we
understand
what
the
landlords
will
agree
to
if,
in
the
case
where
some
landlords
are
basically
already
assuming
that
they
will
keep
their
units
affordable,
it's
a
lot
lower
hurdle
for
them,
but
it
gets
more
complicated
in
the
face
of
those
that
see
opportunity
and
gentrification.
So
we'll
need
to
do
some
work
to
ensure
we
have
the
proper
tools
available
to
for
those
landlords
to
make
a
firm
commitment
to
keeping
their
units
affordable.
Q
If
we
had
a
two
flat,
for
example,
and
we
restricted
both
at
50
percent
of
the
area
median,
that
property
would
not
cash
flow,
it
was
not
self-sustaining
and-
and
that
would
be
something
we
would
not
want
to
do
now.
If
it's
part
of
a
larger
portfolio,
then
we
may
have
some
flexibility,
so
I
think
we
we
will
have
to
really
do
some
work
on
how
to
best
do
that,
and
you
know
there
are
some
cases.
Q
So
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
different
ways
we
want
to
look
at,
and
there
may
be
cases
where
there
will
be
different
restrictions
on
different
properties
based
on
the
amount
of
investment
they
get.
That
could
be
a
very
typical
thing
again
with
a
program
like
home.
If
it's
a
small
investment
there's
a
short
period
of
affordability,
you
know,
I
think
we
have
to
look
at
all
those
things.
Q
A
G
G
S
Yeah,
okay,
yeah!
I
can
speak
to
that
briefly.
So
as
a
as
a
worker
on
cooperative,
the
way
we're
set
up
is
local
contractors
are
eligible
to
be
members
of
our
co-op.
So
a
lot
of
sort
of
the
capacity
building
on
the
the
workforce,
development
and
racial
equity
side
has
been
kind
of
going
on
before
this
initiative
and
even
kind
of
came
on
our
plates
and
so
yeah
a
majority
of
our
cooperatives.
S
Worker
owners
are
local
contractors
of
color,
a
significant
number
of
them
even
went
to
uths
they've,
been
here
their
whole
lives
from
concrete
to
hvac,
to
carpentry
to
electric
and
they're,
also
well
connected
across
the
local
trades,
and
so
yes,
we
would
want
to
ensure
that
their
racial
equity
and
prioritizing
contractors
of
color,
as
well
as
women-owned
firms,
would
be
integral
to
the
to
the
workforce
development
piece.
It's
not
just
who's
receiving
the
upgrades.
It's
it's
who's
doing
the
upgrades.
O
Just
a
quick
comment
to
bring
it
home
even
more
and
I
know
robbie
said
it:
persons
of
color
if
you
go
to
the
job
site,
one
of
evanston
development,
co-ops
job
sites,
they're
working
on
a
an
adu
right
now
and
I'm
sure,
if
you
reached
out
to
robbie
he'd,
be
happy
to
take
people
on
the
tour
separate
from
this
next
statement.
I'm
about
to
make
I'm
sure
you'd
be
happy
to
take
anybody
on
the
tour
of
the
accessory
dwelling
unit,
they're
building
on
jackson
here
in
the
fifth
ward.
O
But
but
when
you
go
there,
you
know
there's
black
and
brown
people
working
just
to
bring
it
on
home,
and
that
is
not
always
the
case
when
you,
you
know,
drive
around
evanston
in
the
area
and
look
at
job
sites.
You
don't
see
that
type
of
diversity,
strong
diversity
in
the
workforce
in
the
field
in
the
construction
field.
So
I'm
really
proud
of
what
everson
development
cooperative
have
done,
making
a
commitment
in
their
bylaws
to
hiring
local
and
it's
the
real
deal.
It's
not
just
talk.
F
I
I
don't
know
if
that
is
logistically
possible
or
maybe
not,
because
we
have
not
received
applications
from
everybody
who
is
going
to
apply.
I
don't
know
that,
but
it'd
be
good
to
kind
of
have
a
an
overall
picture
of
everything
that
we're
doing
with
this
money
right.
At
this
point,
I
I
don't
know
if
I
I
might
be
out
of
place
with
my
question.
A
Q
Sure
we
have
been
the
projects
that
we
are
pursuing
and
bringing
forward
to
both
this
committee,
economic
development
committee
and
the
social
services
committee
are
all
projects
that
were
discussed
and
brought
forward
to
council,
starting
with
our
first.
These
are
priorities
that
we've
identified
from
all
the
outreach
and
other
types
of
of
work
that
had
been
done
early
on
when
we
found
out
that
we
were
getting
arpa.
Q
Q
But
we
also
have
three
million
three
and
a
half
million
reserved
for
participatory
budgeting,
and
that
is
a
process
that
we're
just
starting
to
work
on
council
member
nusma
is
involved
in
that
as
our
council
member
reid
and
council
member
burns,
and
that
is
an
important
way
to
get
input
from
our
broader
community.
On
very
specific
projects
that
gives
us
quite
a
bit
of
flexibility
and
there's
also,
I
don't
remember
just
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
the
economic
development
funding
is,
which
was
a
little
over.
Q
Q
Now
I
also
want
to
remind
people
that
there
are
some
other
sources
that
are
being
considered
for
very
important
projects
that
we're
talking
about
not
necessarily
at
this
committee
right
now,
but
about
needs
in
the
city,
and
that
includes
the
five
fifth
tiff
which
is
going
to
be
creating
increment
and
helping
fund
things
specifically
in
that
the
geography
of
that
five
fifths,
tiff
and
also
the
west
evanston
tiff,
is,
I
think,
generating
over
a
million
dollars
a
year
right
now.
I
think
council
member
burns.
F
O
Yeah
another
comment:
I
was
just
going
to
say,
sir,
if
you
want
to
send
around
the
the
the
I
think
we
are
calling
it
the
harpo
plan
that
council
approve,
which
provides
some.
You
know
clear
steps
that
that
organizations
that
are
interested
in
applying
for
arbor
funds
would
need
to
go
through
the
request
funds.
O
I
know
that's
something
that
we
all
pushed
for
and
along
with
the
scoring
rubric,
so
there
was
a
very
clear-cut
process,
so
organizations
you
know
would
know
how
to
request
funds
and
what
the
process
would
look
like
early
on.
We
did
not
have
that
in
place,
and
I
was
you
know
also
concerned
just
because
I
felt
like
we
were
fast
tracking
in
a
we're.
We
were
fast
tracking
the
approval
of
of
people
who
got
a
a
jump
on
making
arbor
requests
before
other
organizations
were
aware
of
that.
O
It
was
an
opportunity,
and
I
think,
since
we've
adopted
the
plan,
we've
adopted
the
scoring
rubric
and
have
tried
to
get
that
out
as
best
we
can
it's
time
for
people
to
apply.
So
I
would
say,
let's
send
that
around
and
even
as
a
committee
we
can,
you
know,
feel
free
to
to
send
that
out
to
people
in
your
own
network,
because
you
know
we
are
actively.
G
U
U
Is
there
a
cap
and
how
much
is
it
like
per
unit
size,
a
two
flat
or
a
six
unit,
building
how
many?
How
much
services
would
I
be
looking
to
get,
and
you
also
say
you
want
to
rent
out
possibly
a
space
at
family
focus?
Will
you
be
paying
rent,
considering
that
family
focus
is
asking
for
three
million
dollars
tonight?
U
Will
you
be
paying
rent
at
this
space
or
is
this
donated
and
then
also
you
say
that
you're
focusing
on
80,
92
and
80
96,
so
people
can
be
fair
and
equitable,
and
I
think
I
heard
you
say
at
another
meeting
that
you
were
that
the
tenant
could
sign
up.
Is
that
correct
or
or
not
correct?
And
if
that's
so,
how
is
a
tenant
going
to
be
approved
without
the
landlord's
permission,
so
I
want
to
say
of
this
as
well.
U
That's
why
I
put
a
general
comment
or
no
comment,
because
I
have
several
comments
not
just
on
this,
but
I
think
these
are
important
things
that
people
need
to
answer
and
it
looks
like
everyone's
jumping
around
and
you
all
are
just
throwing
out
money,
millions
of
dollars-
it's
not
even
50
000
or
100.
It's
like
millions
now
and
and
who
do
you
decide
that
gets
this?
You
said
it's
50,
50
families
or
50
units
or
50.
U
This
is
what
you
say
in
the
thing
about
50
so
who
who
gets
this
and
how
to
what
is
the?
What
is
the
application
process,
but
it
seems
like
there's
a
lot
of
unanswered
questions
and
the
committee's
getting
ready
to
vote
and
you're,
not
even
asking
relevant
questions
about
how
this
is
going
to
move
forward.
U
G
R
R
So
we've
laid
out
a
variety
of
different
potential
packages
and
investments
in
the
units
and
based
on
different
unit
sizes,
building
sizes,
we're
looking
to
serve
a
variety
of
ownership
types
and
also
you
know
targeting
different
neighborhoods.
So
we're
really
looking
to
try
and
test
out
these
different
approaches
in
different
areas
of
the
city
in
the
target
areas
to
see
what
works
and
learn
from
it,
so
that
we
can
adapt
the
program
and
make
sure
that
we're
leading
towards
the
best
possible
program
for
the
community.
R
P
P
We
have
not
worked
out
yet
we
we
have
a
program
design
phase
that
would
immediately
follow
the
approval
which
would
allow
us
to
dive
into
what
does
the
application
look
like
and
other
questions
like
that.
That
would
answer
many
of
the
questions
that
came
up
here
so
hank,
I
think,
gave
a
good
explanation
of
how
this
works
in
most
places,
but
I
do
think
that
for
many
of
the
questions
that
came
up,
it
is
really
a
question
program
design
that
we
I
intend
to
do
inclusively.
P
One
of
the
first
steps
we
laid
out
was
having
a
an
advisory
group
of
residents
and
landlords
and
other
housing
professionals
just
advise
on
some
of
these
questions
about
what
kind
of
restrictions
on
landlords
would
make
sense
for
this
particular
program.
What
would
they
agree
to
so?
I
think
a
lot
of
those
are
good
questions.
I
just
don't
have
answered
them
right
now
and
honestly.
We
have
to
get
into
the
program
design
phase
of
this.
P
S
S
That's
figured
out
with
the
group,
and
so,
as
bob
noted,
I
think,
that's
also
probably
one
of
the
first
things
we
would
shore
up
in
the
initial
months
of
program
design,
and
I
think,
as
as
part
of
that
conversation,
I
would
think,
given
that
8092
is
one
of
the
three
census
tracts
that
we're
focusing
on.
I
would
think
there
would
also
be
a
conversation
around.
How
do
we
ensure
that
we
have
a
sense
of
proximity
in
place
in
all
of
the
census,
tracts
that
we
intend
to
reach
through
the
program.
A
U
Well,
I
just
think
that
you
know
when
you
go
to
a
job.
This
is
just
for
this
project
and
any
in
the
future.
When
you
go
to
a
job,
it
seems
like
that.
You
put
a
resume
out
and
a
plan
and
it
seems
like
no
bias
against
this
program
or
any
other
ones
that
come
up
in
front,
but
it
looks
like
the
committees
are
making
no
requirements,
and
this
is
something
that
you've
already
passed
of
people,
knowing
what
they're
going
to
do
in
advance
of
them
getting
money.
U
U
U
U
There's
no
plan
for
half
of
these
projects,
including
this
one,
and
I
feel
very
upset
that
you
all
are
passing
money
and
I
don't
know
how
you're
gonna
vote,
but
you're
just
passing
money
and
pretending
like
you're,
gonna,
help
landlords
like
myself
and
it's
not
true
and
and
and
you're
you've
pushed
my
program
or
or
what
you
pretend
you're
going
to
help
with
the
landlord
program.
You
have
me
that
page
125.
U
O
I
mean
I
I
think
after
that
comment,
especially
because
we
allowed
it
to
persist
for
quite
a
while.
I
think
we,
I
think
it
you
know
edc
and
I
think
of
responses
is
required
about
what
was
submitted.
What
plan
was
submitted?
I
know
we
discussed
it
at
the
last
acdc
meeting.
So
if
we
can
get
a
quick
response
about
what
plan.
R
R
Optimizing
for
resident
untenant
benefits
to
ensure
that
we're
reducing
utility
burdens
and
absolutely
maximizing
the
number
of
minority
and
women
owned
contractors
who
receive
the
business
that's
created
from
these
programs.
So
I'm
I.
I
think
that
the
comments
that
were
made
are
coming
from
a
very
real
place
of
concern
about
not
knowing
whether
to
trust
what
we're
doing
is
actually
benefiting
the
community.
V
Yes,
thank
you
so
much.
I
wanted
to
also
share
for
the
benefit
of
our
listeners
this
evening,
a
little
bit
of
history
on
this
proposal
back
in
2018,
the
city
of
evanston's
office
of
sustainability
received
a
grant
to
start
to
research,
this
type
of
project,
and
that
was
through
the
partners
for
places
program.
So
that
was
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
that
the
city
leveraged
in
order
to
do
the
initial
research
for
this
one-stop
shop
model
and
we've
worked
with
these
partners
for
several
years
now.
V
I
think
a
lot
of
the
attention
that
this
really
exciting
project
should
have
gotten
was
overshadowed
by
covid,
and
so
I
do
want
to
remind
this
group
that
we
did
present
that
final
research.
That
was
done
back,
I
believe
in
november
of
last
year,
and
there
were
also
many
meetings
with
the
environment
board
with
utilities
commission,
where
all
of
this
initial
research
was
discussed.
So
this
isn't,
we
could
have
leaned
into
that
a
bit
more,
perhaps
in
the
memo
that
was
provided
to
give
some
of
that
history.
But
this
is
not.
Q
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
that
we
don't
expect
this
will
be
the
last
that
the
committee
will
hear
about
this
project
that,
if
approved,
and
we
get
this
moving,
we
will
be
coming
back
to
the
committee
to
say
what
we,
what
is
being
done
and
with
answers
to
all
these
sorts
of
questions.
After
we've
done
the
market
work
or
in
market
work
and
and
been
able
to
draw
those
conclusions,
I
think
that's
a
very
important
part
of
the
the
design
it
is.
Q
P
This
is
really
a
reinforcement
of
cara
and
sarah's
point
here
that
this
was
a
a
process
that
involved
focus
groups
involved,
analytics
involved
policy,
research
and
involved
a
couple
of
home
assessments
that
we
did
to
confirm
that
this
kind
of
one
one-stop
shop
assessment
work
and
point
out
a
number
of
different
things
that
could
happen
in
these
homes.
So.
C
P
A
a
full
concept-
I
I
think
what
we
haven't
done
is
identify
participants
is
develop
exactly
the
kind
of
restrictions
that
would
be
placed
on
landlords,
which
is
what
we
need
to
do
immediately.
But
this
is
not
a
novel
concept
that
is
just
being
presented
tonight.
It's
something
that
we've
been
working
on
with
the
city
for
about
three
years,
so
I
feel
like
this
is
the
culmination
of
a
long
process
and
yeah.
We
don't
have
every
answer,
but
we
have
so.
P
D
F
Very
quickly,
just
wanted
to
add
also
that,
with
the
recipients
of
these
funds,
there'll
be
some
contractual
obligations
that
will
be
followed
up
by
this
committee
as
well.
We
have
overseeing
capacities
also
within
the
committee
to
make
sure
that
this
funds
are
used
properly
and
according
to
what
it's
being
approved
here,
just
to
give
a
little
bit
of
more
of
an
answer
to
gina.
O
O
That's
fine,
but
this
is
critical.
So
if
we
can
get
an
a
quick
answer
to
that,
because
I
think
the
idea
every
time
we
approve
something
is
that
somehow
organizations
are
finding
ways
to
enrich
themselves,
and
so,
let's
just
speak
directly
to
how
I
think
this
program
set
up
what
every
program
is
set
up,
that
I've
seen
at
least
where
it's
you
pay
for
staff,
and
then
everything
else
goes
to
to
improvement.

How
are
you
I'm
amelia
evans?
I
am
a
parent
educator
at
family
focus
evaston
I
started
in
april,
even
though
I
am
new
to
the
company.
I
could
tell
how
just
this
organization
means
so
much
to
the
community,
like
even
the
families
that
I
work
with.
They
truly
enjoy
our
programs
and
the
other
programs
that
is
offered
within
the
building.
W
I
would
say
we
do
need
updates,
because
the
restrooms
are
terrible.
One
of
the
stalls
is
just
not
working,
so
it's
only
two
stalls
in
there
for
the
children
to
use
and
then
also
we
need
water
in
the
sinks,
because
only
one
of
the
sinks
have
hot
water.
The
other
two
of
them
is
like
just
cold,
so
we
just
need
improvements
in
the
building.
Thank
you.
Thank.
X
X
My
children
attended
family
focus
at
this
time,
and
family
focus
has
been
a
great
access
to
me
and
my
family
and
friends
as
well
as
the
community.
My
children
attended
family
focus
after
school
program.
My
grandchildren
is
tended
to
early
childhood
daycare,
and
my
oldest
grandchildren
attended
the
after-school
program
as
well.
They
received
their
homework
from
volunteers
that
come
from
northwestern
university.
X
They
did
a
variety
of
activities
sports
and
they
wrote
and
they've
written
poetry.
We
had
performance
in
oratorium
that
was
written
by
the
children
and
grandparents
and
with
mrs
beth
jacobs.
That's
our
writer,
the
instructor
and
lots
of
the
program
and
many
other
activities,
summer
program,
camp
teaching,
the
kids,
how
to
garden
and
cook
and
food
with
mrs
q,
the
chef
and
also
sharing
the
vegetables
with
the
community.
X
We
also
provided
food
and
clothing
to
the
community,
sharing
information
about
what's
available
in
evanston.
That
can
help
the
community
and
I'm
a
grandparents
raising
grandchildren
also
and
we
have
written
books
and
they
all
on
amazon
and
family
focus
continue
to
help
many
families
in
the
community,
and
we
are
asking
you
all
the
council
board
to
vote
to
renovate
and
to
help
the
family
focus
to
regain
and
be
rebuilt
in
the
fifth
ward,
and
we
can
also
help
others
and
the
next
generation
of
children
to
come
and
serve
the
community.
X
Thank
you
all,
and
one
more
thing,
my
daughter's
name
also,
as
I
said,
attended
there,
which
was
great
and
now
I
have
a
registered
nurse
with
beef
with
her
bachelor's
degree
and
also
my
baby
girl,
she's,
a
tech,
a
pharmacy
tech.
So
this
program
and
being
that
family
focused,
it
will
be
great
if
you
all,
can
and
will
help
us
renovate
the
place
for
others
to
come.
Thank
you
all
very
much
all
right.
Thank
you.
Now
that
was
fast
right.

Hello
greetings
of
the
housing
economic
development
committee.
My
name
is
robin
robinson,
and
I
am
I-
and
I
am
an
epistonian
born
and
raised
on
the
west
side
of
evanston
and
lived
there
for
the
majority
of
my
life.
I'm
here
tonight
on
behalf
of
the
family
focused
community
center,
landmark
historic
building,
positioned
in
our
fifth
ward,
where
I
grew
up
at
my
first
recollection
of
the
family.
Focus
center
goes
all
the
way
back
to
when
my
daughter
was
attending
some
of
the
after
school
programs
in
the
drop-in
center
there.
Y
There
are
leaky,
roofs,
missing
ceiling,
towels
a
gym
with
tape
along
the
wild
walls.
Yes,
you
are
correctly
tape.
The
bathrooms
are
extremely
outdated,
with
stalls
that
do
not
lock
providing
our
little
girls
and,
ladies
with
no
means
of
using
restrooms
in
complete
privacy,
an
auditorium
that
is
hardly
used
due
to
being
extremely
outdated.
Y
Y
Z
Z
G
Thank
you
that
is,
that
should
be
the
end
of
the
people
that
wanted
to
speak
regarding
family
focus
by
phone
or
video.
We
did
get
two
written
comments
that
where,
after
the
packet
was
sent
so
rebecca
mendoza
and
kathy
tate
bradish,
both
wrote
in
favor
of
family
focus
and
arpa
funding
for
family
focus.
So
I
wanted
to
mention
that
as
far
as
spoken
comment,
that
is
it
for
family
focus.
Okay,.
O
G
L

AA
Good
evening
I
I
wasn't
gonna
say
anything,
but
I
have
to
endorse
everything
that
the
people
have
said
about
family
focus
this
evening,
and
I
know
sarah
knows
how
old
I
am-
and
I
should
have
been
retired
a
long
time
ago,
but
working
with
family
fo
focus
over
the
past
15
years.
I've
just
seen
the
devotion.
AA
The
building
we
all
know
is
in
dire
straits,
but
thank
goodness,
it's
a
new
organization,
family
focus
overall,
the
downtown
people,
the
board,
everything,
and
now
I'm
a
member
of
the
board.
So
I'm
talking
about
myself
too,
but
we
have
a
whole
new
relationship
with
downtown.
They
have
a
whole
different
attitude
than
the
old
regime
and
we're
working
toward
there's
a
plan
and
you've
seen
it
because
we
had
to
present
all
these
things
to
you.
AA
AA
AA
AA
T
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
yep,
hey,
okay,
thank
you
for
those
kind
words
miss
miss
johnson
and
everyone
else
that
spoke.
I
want
you
to
know.
I
started
at
family
focus
in
1982
when
that
building
was
totally
messed
up.
It
took
our
youth
to
clean
that
building
up
because
it
was
vacant
for
years
and
years
and
years
right
now.
Everyone
talks
about
the
bathroom,
that's
the
essential
thing
and
we
can't
drink
water
from
a
water
farm.
That's
an
essential
thing.
My
parents
have
to
constantly
buy
water.
Water
fountains
are
not
working
bathroom
stars.
T
I
know
you
keep
hearing
about
the
bathrooms,
but
that's
so
important,
especially
to
the
girls
and
there's
so
much
other
things
that
we
need.
It's
a
shame
that
we
can't
use
the
auditorium
because
the
chairs
are
falling
apart
as
a
staff
person,
I
fell
out
of
one
of
those
chairs
because
they
were
weak.
T
T
T
We
pride
ourselves
on
no
graffiti
on
our
walls,
because
the
community
respects
our
building.
There
are
no
con
graffiti
there,
but
inside
there's
a
lot
of
things
outdated
books,
we
don't
our
library,
it's
outdated.
The
kids
were
just
saying
that
today,
when
are
we
going
to
get
books
about
our
culture?
They
said
that
today,
so
I
just
I
pray
every
day
and
every
night
that
you
are
make
this
decision
to
renovate
our
building.
It
badly
needs
it.
That's
the
over
100
year
old
building
and
we
need
it.
AB
Good
evening,
I've
listened
to
the
previous
speakers,
and
I
just
have
a
few
comments
briefly
to
make
fifth
ward
resident
landlord
small
landlord
for
those
are
appearing
at
this
meeting.
Most
of
you
are
not
aware
of
the
previous
program
that
preceded
this
by
brent
shaw,
which
was
a
disaster
to
our
community
and
a
boon
for
the
developers
in
all
due
respect.
AB
AB
AB
All
of
these
programs
are
concentrated
within
two
or
three
blocks
of
my
house,
and
it
doesn't
seem
that
everson
has
any
intent
to
provide
this
kind
of
housing
in
any
other
wards,
but
the
second
and
the
fifth,
but
zero
assistance
in
these
programs
for
small
landlords.
In
my
situation,
are
your
programs
intentionally
tenant,
oriented
and
small
landlord
oppositional
to
try
to
remove
us
from
this
community?
AB
I
agree
with
the
warning
that
these
programs
will
subsequently
increase
green
gentrification
if
I've
misread
your
intent
in
these
proposals
that
might
be
ratified
tonight.
I
stand
to
be
corrected,
but
after
reading
the
132
page
proposal,
I
failed
to
identify
any
program
getting
all
the
way
down
to
page
128
of
132.
AC
AC
When
I
started
out,
I
started
out
in
I
think
third
grade,
and
then
I
went
through
ms
joanne's
program
and
she
hand-picked
me
to
join
the
evans,
and
I
have
a
dream
program,
which
was
an
amazing
program,
the
mentorship
just
the
tutoring,
the
experience
with
ottoman
peter
braithwaite
and
all
of
the
americorps
people
was
an
amazing
group.
It
taught
us
morals,
values,
skills
and
a
lot
of
the
programs
that
family
focus
used
to
have.
AC
We
don't
have
any
more
and
that's
why
I
think
that
so
many
of
our
children
are
so
uneducated
to
a
lot
of
things.
I
mean
the
schools
are
teaching
them
some
things,
but
family
focus
taught
us
a
lot
of
things
that
were
so
detrimental
to
our
life,
like
they
had
a
beehive
program,
which
was
you
know,
a
sexual
health
program
that
they
had
with
mr
vince,
and
they
had
programs
that
taught
us
computer
skills,
like
the
schools.
AC
A
thousand
dollars
a
month,
not
just
for
the
entire
summer,
but
a
thousand
dollars
a
month
and
family
focus
is
one
of
those
places
who
continue
to
be
so
affordable
with
themselves
needing
so
much
help,
and
they
still
find
it
find
a
way
to
you
know
accommodate
all
of
his
parents,
and
so
I
think
that
it
would
be
amazing
for
this
building
to
get
everything
that
it's
looking
for,
because
the
people
and
the
dedication
that
they've
you
know
just
outpoured
into
the
community
is
is
just
unmatched.
No
one
can
compare.
G
A
AD
AD
Our
center,
as
we
know,
is
a
staple
in
the
community
and
critic
of
critical
import
to
specifically
the
african-american
community.
The
organization
has
continued
its
commitment
to
the
fifth
ward
by
operating
several
programs
out
of
that
center
and,
of
course,
having
tenants
who
do
the
same
as
far
as
their
program,
operation
and
and
the
building
needs
a
lot
of
work
right,
and
so
with
the
with
the
merger
with
chicago
child
care
society.
This
is
a
priority
for
our
organization.
AD
I
do
want
to
share
dottie
johnson.
Our
cfo
will
go
into
the
budget
and
share
a
little
bit
more
detail
about
the
updated
budget,
but
I
do
also
want
to
share
that.
We
have
submitted
a
project
activity
timeline
where
you'll
see
some
detail
around.
Just
some
of
the
pre-development
work
that
we
are
planning
and
and
what
we've
found
in
our
quick
research,
since
we
last
met
with
you,
is
that
the
fact
that
the
building
itself
is
registered
as
a
historical
landmark
actually
gives
us
more
opportunity
to
to
find
additional
funding.
AD
AD
AE
AE
The
primary
reason
for
that
is
that
you
asked
us
for
details
on
what
this
phase
two
would
look
like
in
construction,
so
I
went
back
and
consulted
the
fcop
group,
who
was
initially
or
several
years
ago,
looking
at
to
acquiring
the
building
from
family
focus
and
they
had
a
detailed
assessment
completed
at
that
time.
This
was
back
in
2018..
AE
They
reported
square
footage
of
the
building
at
51
000
square
feet
and
that's
what
we
were
basing
this
budget
off
of
for
the
construction
build
out,
which
is
going
to
primarily
happen
in
the
second
phase
of
this
proposal.
The
actual
square
footage
is
almost
fifty
nine
thousand.
Fifty
eight
thousand
seven
hundred
ninety
two-
that's
a
fifteen
percent
increase
in
square
footage,
which
then
led
to
a
twelve
percent
increase
in
the
cost
for
construction
and
the
related
contingency
and
soft
costs.
To
that
in
phase
two
of
that
project.
AE
Now
I
opted
not
to
send
you
the
20
pages
of
detailed
cost
estimates.
I
didn't
think
that
would
be
relevant
for
our
conversation
today,
but
I
did
try
to
then
group
it
by
by
floor
of
the
costs
that
were
being
estimated
from
that
project
that
the
I
was
going
to
get
the
group
that
did
this
is
the
u.s
building
efficiency
solutions
group
that
did
that
report
in
2018.
AE
So,
on
the
first
floor,
we've
got
a
square
footage
of
12
or
17
415
and
we're
looking
at
really
renovating
and
uplifting
the
spaces
that
we
have
for
our
infant
childhood
room.
On
that
floor.
They
have
to
remain
on
the
first
floor
because
of
code
licensing
requirements
through
the
state,
as
well
as
redesigning
the
existing
space
for
our
prospective
lead
tenant,
which
we
hope
will
be
the
evanston
public
library
and
we're
looking
at
an
open
floor
space
design
for
that.
AE
On
the
second
floor
and
the
third
floor
then
has
the
what
we
would
look
to
develop
a
business
incubator,
space
office
spaces
for
some
of
our
small
businesses
that
are
currently
leasing
and
tenant,
or
our
current
tenants
as
well
and
also
conference
rooms
that
can
be
used
by
the
community
for
some
of
the
meetings
that
you
heard
described.
That
has
happened
in
the
past
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
have
that
presence
again
for
a
community
group
and
then
in
our
basement,
which
is
a
a
large
area
for
us.
AE
AE
We
would
expand
that
to
include
both
before
and
after
school
activities
and
then
also
improve
upon
the
meeting
room
space
that
we
have
there,
and
we
also
have
our
clothing
giveaway
down
there,
the
clothing
closet
and
the
we
have
a
small
pantry
food
pantry
that
gives
away
food
on
a
weekly
basis.
So
we
would
be
looking
to
improve
all
those
areas
and
being
able
to
expand
that
that
was
the
primary.
The
changes
that
we
made
in
the
budget,
the
first
phase,
still
pretty
much
remains
the
same.
AE
You
heard
bathrooms
are
a
primary
consideration.
That
is
the
number
one
thing
that
we
are
going
to
be
looking
to
take
care
of
in
the
building.
First,
when
we
get
the
project
manager
hired
and
be
able
to
start
doing,
project
planning
in
earnest,
but
that
is
our
first
goal
for
that.
So
that's
why
it
was
put
into
the
first
phase.
AE
This
is
a
preliminary
budget
on
this
construction
understand
because
I'm
basing
it
off
of
costs
that
I've
adjusted
for
inflation,
but
we
know
that
cost
the
current
cost.
The
value
of
the
dollar
is
not
going
as
far
as
it
did
did
years
ago,
and
it's
it
is,
you
know
something
that
will
be
fine
too,
once
we
have
the
project
planner
and
the
and
be
able
to
get
our
construction
management
team
and
the
architect
involved
with
this
so
know
that
these
will
be.
AE
Did
I
miss
anything.
I
think
I've
covered
the
primary
points.
Oh,
I
also
wanted
to
address.
We
have
already
invested
money.
We
you
know.
We
realized
that
when
we
came
in
to
the
building
that
there
was
some
work
that
needed
to
be
done
so
this
year
alone,
we've
invested
nearly
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
improvements
in
spaces
where
we
needed
to
do
that,
including
repairing
boilers.
AE
We
have
had
plumbers
out
there,
fixing
toilets
and
things
and
everything
you
heard
about
some
of
that's
already
starting
to
be
addressed
because
we
realized,
when
we
went
through
the
building,
that
there
were
some
things
that
we
needed
to
do
right
away,
and
so
we
are
making
the
the
changes
that
we
can.
Unfortunately,
our
dollars
are
limited.
Most
of
our
work
goes
to
to
in
the
result
for
the
social
services
that
we're
providing
for
the
community.
AE
A
B
E
Thank
you,
chair
reveal,
I
I
too
am
and
generally
supportive
of
this
project
and
looking
forward
to
moving
this
forward.
I
want
to
address
a
couple
areas.
I
don't
want
to
say
of
concern,
but
just
because
I'm
sure
I'll
be
satisfied
here,
but
I
am
wondering,
given
the
fact
that
you
know
we
are
going
to
have
a
brand
new
school
and
very
close
proximity
to
this
building.
AD
Thank
you
for
your
question
consular
council
member
newsman.
We
don't
anticipate
that
our
mission
will
change
our
service
delivery
model
will
not
change
our
core
businesses
of
early
childhood
education.
Youth
development,
family
support,
including
immigration
services,
will
not
change.
We
will
explore
and
we
are
very
open
to
exploring
how
our
work
and
the
work
of
our
tenants
can
be
supportive
of
the
new
school
of
the
students
in
the
school.
AD
E
Thanks
yeah
we're
going
to
have
quite
the
little
campus
there
with
with
family
focus
a
new
school
we've
got
fleetwood
jourdain
and
council
member
burns,
and
I
touched
on
this
topic
at
the
combined
meeting
of
the
school
districts
and
and
city
council
members
last
month.
So
I'd
love
to
look
for
ways
that
we
can
collaborate
between
the
three
organizations.
365,
the
city
family
focus
not
only
on
the
programming
and
to
go
about
that
in
a
strategic
manner.
E
AC
E
Also,
I
have
to
imagine
there's
ways
that
we
can
collaborate
on
the
on
the
physical
construction
side
of
the
project
as
well.
I
don't
know
what
those
are
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
yeah.
If
you
guys,
are
doing
a
renovation
and
there's
a
brand
new
school
building
being
built
around
the
same
time,
there's
got
to
be
ways.
We
could
get
some
collaboration
and
save
some
money.
One
of
those
ways
avenues
of
potential
collaboration
might
be
related
to
climate
action,
resiliency
and
environmental
justice.
AD
AD
AE
No
go
ahead.
I
was
just
going
to
say
that
we
are
just
starting
to
explore
a
lot
of
those
options.
I
definitely
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
looking
at
the
highest
level
of
energy
efficiency
that
we
can
afford
to
put
in
that
building
and
be
able
to
reduce
the
carbon
footprint
that
something
is
very
close
to
my
heart
as
how
we
protect
the
environment
and
again
we
were
until
we
have
the
project
manager
in
place.
AE
We
haven't
really
started,
exploring
all
those
options
and
how
we
can
make
that
happen,
but
we
will
be
working.
In
fact,
district
65's
staff
has
already
offered
to
consult
with
us
on
some
of
the
building,
planning
and
and
the
renovation
work
that
we
need
to
do
and
be
a
resource
to
us
as
well.
So
we're
excited
to
be
able
to
get
that
in
place
once
we
have
our
project
manager
in
place.
E
Fantastic,
I'm
not
sure
if
sustainability
manager,
cara
pratt
is,
is
still
on
the
zoom
here.
I
don't
see
her
name
in
the
on
the
list
here,
but
we
are
looking
into
getting
some
solar
panels
on
robert
crown
in
a
way
that
doesn't
cost
the
city
any
money
up
front.
So
I'd
love
to
be
able
to
share
that
information
with
you
guys,
and
maybe
you
can
learn
yeah.
AE
D
AE
So
we
are
working
on
a
plan
right
now
of
how
we
can
relocate
our
programs
within
the
building
and
doing
a
phase-in
approach
for
the
the
construction
phase
so
that
we
are
not
disrupting
the
entire
building.
We
can't
afford
that
not
to
have
programs,
we
can't
afford
not
to
be
there
for
our
clients,
the
children.
AE
So
that
is
something
that
we're
taking
very
seriously
and
not
only
with
our
programs
but
our
other
tenants.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
being
as
least
disruptive
as
possible
and
try
to
focus
on
just
certain
areas
get
that
renovated
and
then
move
that
back
move
programs
into
that
space
and
then
start
working
on
the
next
space.
So
it's
looking
as
a
phased-in
approach
for
that.
C
O
To
talk
about
this
campus
model
more
directly
and
and
we'll
be
pulling
dara
and
her
team
in
on
those
discussions.
So
there
is,
there
is
not
an
absence
of
talks
around
collaboration,
detailed
conversations
around
collaboration
with
this,
not
just
the
family
focus
project,
but
every
single
everything
happening
around.
You
know
this
area
from
the
school
to
fleetwood
to
family
focus.
We
understand
this
is
important.
O
You
know
this
is
a
time
where
we're
focusing
a
lot
of
investment
in
the
area
and
where
there's
opportunities
to
collaborate
to
cut
costs,
we
will
find
them.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
you
know
we.
I
think
I
heard
during
a
previous
meeting
people
saying
oh
yeah,
family
focus
is
you
know
one
of
the
organizations
in
the
fifth
ward.
I
want
to
make
this
clear.
Family
focus
is
the
only
social
service
hub
in
the
fifth
ward
right.
O
So
when
you,
if,
if
you've,
seen
the
evanston
e
plan-
and
you
keep
saying
eight
zero-
nine
two
pop
up
when
they
talked
about
pretty
much-
every
health
and
income
related
disparity
in
the
city
of
everson,
it
exists
primarily
and
directly
nba,
zero.
Nine
two
census
strike-
that
is
in
the
fifth
ward,
and
this
is
the
only
the
only
social
service
hub
in
the
fifth
ward.
I
cannot
stress
that
enough
within
that
hub.
There
are
many
organizational
partners
ymca
and
many
others,
but
this
is
the
place
where
it
happens.
O
If
you
want
to
make
a
difference
in
the
fifth
ward
right,
n809,
two
census
track.
This
is
the
way
to
to
make
a
direct
impact.
Yes,
we
have
fleetwood
and
they
do
a
great
job.
The
school
is
coming,
but
this
is.
This
is
the
only
thing
that
has
really
held
it
down
over
the
decades
that
it's
been
here,
so
I
just
can't
stress
that
enough
and-
and
if
you
really
looked
at
what
arpa
was
supposed
to
arpa-
was
meant
primarily
for
communities
that
have
been
impacted
before
covert.
O
It
wasn't
primarily
for
academic
things
happening
downtown.
It
was
to
make
an
impact
in
neighborhoods
such
as
this,
and
I
don't
want
us
to
lose
sight
of
that
because
of
previous
grant
allocations
that
we've
made
with
arbor
funds.
This
is
the
work.
This
is
why
opera
exists,
and
I
can't
stress
that
enough.
Thank
you.
D
I
just
think
it's
a
great
project
and
it's
certainly
you
could
can't
do
without
family
focus.
I
guess
a
little
concern
which
we
wouldn't
be
involved
in
it,
but
I've
been
reading
about
how
the
cost
of
different
projects
may
be
a
lot.
Bigger
projects
is
just
going
up,
doubling
and
tripling
that
communities
are.
You
know
whether
it's
road
projects
or
things
are
pulling
back
and
postponing
things.
A
Right
good
point
yeah:
well
this
evening
we
certainly
have
heard
loud
and
clear
from
the
community
about
how
unbelievably
valuable
family
focus
is
and
has
been
for
generations,
and
and
also
we've
heard
dramatically
about
how
greatly
in
need
the
building
is
of
you
know,
just
basic
repairs,
let
alone
improvements
that
will
really
support
the
programming
there.
So
I
mean
it's
really
a
highly
deserving
project
for
for
our
funds.
I
think.
E
AE
Certainly,
opera,
the
operation
endowment
is
meant
to
help
us
generate
dollars
to
help
finance
the
ongoing
building
maintenance
fees
on
an
annual
basis.
So
with
a
million
dollars
conservatively
speaking,
we
should
be
able
to
raise
at
least
50
000
annually.
That
would
help
cover
those
ongoing
maintenance
needs
that
you
need
to
make
sure
that
those
systems
continue
to
operate
and
are
there
for
the
long
term.
AE
A
D
AB
B
D
A
A
Good
night,
okay,
so
we
have
one
more
item
on
our
agenda,
which
I'm
assuming
can
be
pretty
pretty
pretty
quick
for
us,
and
that
is
voting
on
the
updated
draft
of
the
2022
action
plan
that
are
incorporating
the
entitlement
grant
amounts
that
we've
finally
been
given
from
the
federal
government.
So
that's
here's
a
slide
that
summarizes
all
that.
G
Right
and
this
slide
is
actually
very
similar
to
the
slide
we
provided
last
month.
It
simply
summarized
that
we
got
slightly
different
amounts
for
the
grants,
but
that,
while
there
is
a
little
bit
of
a
difference
with
the
cdbg
grant
program,
income
was
actually
higher.
So
the
overall
difference
in
funding
for
the
total
is
not
actually
pretty
impactful.
It's
it's
very
small.
So
what
we
can
show
you
is
how
that
affected
the
actual
location
by
goals,
and
I
just
need
to
be
able
to
share
my
screen
again.
G
This
is
coming
from
the
fact
that
there's
program
income
for
cdbg,
that's
increased
the
amount
and
then
home
grant
actually
came
in
higher.
So
that's
increasing
the
amount
for
this
goal.
There
is
very
little
change
for
the
homelessness
goal,
but
home
again
is
higher.
So
there's
a
little
bit
more
money
there
esg
is
slightly
lower,
but
overall
it
provides
a
higher
total
for
the
homelessness
goal
for
a
livable
community.
G
Since
this
spreadsheet
is
only
mentioning
2022.
as
far
as
public
services,
it's
a
it's
a
flat
number,
so
it's
reduced
a
little
bit
but
very
minimal.
It's
a
flat
percentage
of
the
of
the
grant.
An
admin
is
the
same.
So
it's
a
it's
a
five
percentage
and
it's
very
it's
gone
down
a
little
bit,
but
not
not
anything
significant.
G
G
B
D
B
D
A
T
G
R
D
G
K
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
I'm
sorry.
I
had
raised
it
during
the
times
you
were
talking
about
family
focus,
but
it
was
taught
to
any
kind
I
couldn't
get
in.
I
just
would
be
remiss
not
to
mention
that
I've
gone
to
family
focus
in
the
past
and
doing
they
when
they
had
the
computer
courses
there
and
use
the
computers
for
a
couple
of
times
before
they
end
that
it
didn't
get.
I
don't
know
if
it
was
ending
at
the
time
that
I
went.
K
They
really
work
well
with
them,
and
also
I
use
the
printing
they
printed
papers.
For
me
at
one
time,
so
it's
a
the
the
family
focus
in
the
program
is
really
really
really
to
the
community
people
in
the
community's
advantage
and
I've
gone
to
that
center.
I
was
born
in
edison.
I
went
to
foster
school
and
everything
that
has
gone
on
over
there.
K
I've
always
participated,
or
there
have
been
services
that
were
always
to
my
advantage
and
I'm
a
senior
citizen
now
and
I
can't
go
out
the
area
and
I'm
not
driving.
I
do
use
public
transportation
and
I
was
going
to
the
library
for
everything,
but
it
has
saved
me
a
number
of
times
to
just
walk
out
and
walk
down
the
street
across
the
street
to
the
center,
so
I
do
hope
that
ms
joanne
and
family
focus
will
get
the
funds
that's
needed.
Thank
you.
Thank.
