A
Welcome
everyone
to
the
february
7
2022
meeting
of
the
human
services
committee.
We
have
a
quorum,
so
we're
ready
to
get
started.
Do
we
need
a
motion
to
suspend
the
rules
to
meet
virtually.
B
A
B
A
Okay
and
then
our
first
order
of
business
is
approval
of
the
minutes
of
our
meeting
of
november
1st
2021.
Would
someone
like
to
make
a
motion.
E
A
A
Okay,
all
right,
then,
we'll
move
on
to
our
agenda
and
the
first
item
is
a
review
of
the
evanston
police
complaints
and
comments
report.
B
And
move,
or
I
guess,
a
move
that
we
want
to
accept
in
place
on
file.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
yeah
in
a
second
thank
you,
thank
you.
So
is
there
any
discussion
or
questions
about
the
report.
B
Yes
sure
is
is
some
who,
who
this
is
my
first
meeting?
Having
that
I
recall
having
this
on
the
agenda.
Who
is
someone
from
ops
here
or
chief
eddington.
G
A
I
don't
think
we
need
to
do
anything
quite
so
official
as
tabling.
Can
we
just
move
on
to
the
next
item
and
we'll
come
back
to
this
when,
when
chief
eddington
is
with
us.
B
A
A
Okay,
so
the
next
item
is
approval
of
our
meeting
dates
for
2022.
A
Thank
you,
so,
everybody's
okay,
with
all
the
dates
that
were
listed,
it's
basically
pretty
much
that
first
monday,
unless
there's
a
holiday
on
the
monday.
A
It
moves
to
the
tuesday
right
the
day
following
okay,
it's
after
the
fourth
of
july
and
after
labor
day.
Okay,
so
then
I
think
we're
ready
for
a
roll
call
on
approving
the
meeting
dates
for
2022.
C
F
D
F
A
And
then
I
think,
while
we're
waiting
for
chief
eddington
we'll
go
to
hs2,
which
is
an
update
about
the
public
works
agency
apprentice
program.
Do
we
have
someone
who
would
like
to
talk
with
us
about
that?
A
A
I
Yeah
hi
no
daryl
should
be
doing
this
and
I
just
sent
him
the
link,
so
hopefully
he'll
be
here
in
a
moment
as
well.
Okay,
sorry,
you
you've
kind
of
confused
us.
We
weren't
ready
for
this
early
start
so
nice.
I
apologize.
A
For
that,
okay,
okay!
Well,
I
think
maybe
we
will
just
table
this
one
as
well
until
we
have
staff
with
us
and
move
on
to
victim
services,
presentation.
F
Yeah
good
day,
members
of
the
human
services
committee
today
we
will
hear
from
our
human
service
advocates,
who
are
or
formerly
known
as
victim
service
advocates,
to
provide
a
brief
update
on
victim
services
so
ariel
or
kelly.
You
can
take
it
away.
J
You
for
having
me
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
kelly.
Nelson,
I'm
one
of
the
victim
slash
human
services
advocates
with
the
city.
I've
been
in
this
worked
in
this
capacity
for
eight
years
now
ariel
and
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
the
victim
services
program.
I'll
start
with
a
little
bit
of
history.
J
It
starts
back
to
the
1960s
at
the
beginning
of
the
60s.
Very
little
was
written
about
the
benefits
of
victims,
rights
and
crime
for
victims,
but
that
changed
somewhere
around
1965
when
california
passed
the
first
victims,
rights
law
for
victim
compensation
in
1972,
federal
law
enforcement
assistance
administered
the
first
funds
for
three
victim
assistance
programs
and
in
1975
victims
rights
were
acknowledged
with
victims
rights
week,
which
I
believe
this
year
is
going
to
be
april.
24Th
through
the
30th
and
in
1976
evanston
police
department
started.
The
very
first
started
victim
services
program.
J
It
was
one
of
the
one
of
the
first
in
the
in
the
country
and
in
2018
victim
services,
transitioned
to
the
health
and
human
services
department,
for
budgetary
reasons,
and
so
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
an
overview
of
what
it
is
we
do
as
advocates
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
J
J
J
We
do
court
advocacy,
which
can
which
consists
about
70
percent
of
what
we
do
by
court
advocacy.
I
mean
we
attend
court
a
lot
of
times
in
lieu
of
victims,
because
court
cases
can
drag
on
for
months,
if
not
years,
so
we
go
in
place
of
them.
J
We
keep
them
abreast
to
their
court
case
status
and
what's
happening
with
it.
We
also
attend
court
for
trial
preparation.
J
We
help
them
fill
out
orders
that
we
fill
out
orders
of
protection,
and
we
also
assist
with
writing
victim
impact
statements.
When
the
case
goes
to
trial.
The
victim
wants
to
speak
about
the
impact
that
a
crime
has
had
on
them.
J
Another
major
source
of
our
jobs
is
informational
referrals.
We
feel
quite
a
few
phone
calls
and
inquiries
where
people
call
inquiring
about
orders
of
protection
a
lot
of
times
even
for
themselves
or
someone
that
they
know,
and
we
also
take
a
lot
of
questions
for
people
who
have
family
members
or
people.
They
have
concerns
about
with
mental
health
issues.
What
to
do
about,
let's
say
getting
them
to
the
hospital.
How
do
we
get
them
help?
How
do
we
get
them
assessed?
J
So
we
deal
with
that
a
lot
as
well,
and
so,
as
far
as
the
crime
related
follow-ups,
a
large
part
of
our
job
is
dealing
with
domestic
battery
domestic
assault,
where
it's
a
significant
other
husband
spouse,
making
it
a
threat,
batteries,
sexual
assaults,
child
abuse,
assaults,
armed
robberies,
disorderly
conduct,
telephone
harassment,
burglaries
and
homicides.
J
Then
now
the
non-crime
follow-up
that
we
do
is
for
czech
well-beings.
If
someone
calls
the
police
to
say
that
they're
concerned
about
a
neighbor
or
someone,
they
know
a
family
member
that
they
haven't
heard
from
and
the
police
respond
and
they
get
there
and
they
feel
that
that
person
may
be
needed
in
need
of
additional
services.
We
would
call
and
follow
up
to
check
in
and
see
how
they're
doing
and
see
if
we
can
assist
them
in
any
kind
of
way.
J
We
also
do
deaf
notifications,
where
we'll
go
with
the
police
to
a
residence
to
notify
someone
that
their
loved
one
has
has
died.
We
also
follow
up
with
death
investigations,
fires
missing
persons
lost
and
confused
adults.
Usually
those
are
seniors
domestic
disturbances.
This
is
also
a
very
big.
This
is
a
big
part
of
what
we
do.
J
That
kind
of
thing-
and
we
also
make
a
lot
of
referrals
to
dcfs,
for
abused
children
and
to
metropolitan
family
services
when
their
concerns
about
elderly
people
are
people
with
disabilities.
J
K
Good
evening,
can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
we
can.
Okay,
my
name
is
arielle
jackson.
I
I'm
also
an
advocate
at
with
the
city.
I
work
alongside
kelly,
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen.
If
that's
okay,
I
know
that
many
of
you
have
gotten
copies
of
the
slide,
but
it
for
me
will
make
it
easier
to.
K
B
Not
gotten
if,
if
someone
can
send
those
copies,
I'd,
I'd
love
that
or
if
it's
just
post
on
the
city's
website
after
this.
K
So
as
kelly
shared
one
of
the
bigger
pieces
of
what
we
do,
our
domestic
related
issues
and
so
that's
domestic
battery-
that's
domestic,
related
court,
advocacy,
counseling,
referral
and
services
like
that,
and
so
one
of
the
things
we
wanted
to
do
was
kind
of
give.
You
guys
a
a
a
drill
down
view
of
what
we
do
to
make
it
easier
as
you're,
interacting
with
other
members
of
the
community
to
kind
of
give
them
direction
when
people
are
referring
to
us
and
so
with
domestic
violence.
K
When
there's
a
domestic
violence
police
report,
the
police
are
contacted,
a
report
is
generated
and
then
victim
services
follows
up
and
a
detective
who's
dedicated
to
victim
services.
Real
domestic
violence
related
crimes
is
also
following
up.
We
work
very
closely
with
that
department
as
well.
An
arrest
is
made
if
appropriate
or
approved
by
the
felony
review,
and
then
the
advocates
go
to
every
set
court
date
on
the
case.
Some
cases
go
on
for
a
year
or
two,
it's
very
difficult
for
victims
to
be
able
to
take
off
that
much
time.
K
Each
month
related
to
the
case,
and
so
we
can
go
in
place
up
or
with
the
victim,
so
that
they're
made
kept
abreast
of
what's
going
on
with
the
case
and
also
the
state
is
aware
of
where
the
victim
stands
in
relation
to
wanting
to
move
forward
with
the
case,
what
they're,
comfortable
with
in
terms
of
disposition
and
outcomes
with
the
case,
and
so
kelly
mentioned
this
orders,
protection,
trial,
prep
and
all
things
in
domestic
violence
related
on
the
victim's
behalf
is
our
roles
that
we
take
on.
K
B
You
might
want
to
hit
present
mode
if
you
click
either
slideshow
or
file,
and
then
you'll
be
able
to.
K
Okay,
thank
you
all
right,
all
right
sex
assault.
We
also
much
like
domestic
violence.
We
work
very
closely
with
victims
of
sex
abuse
or
sexual
assault.
K
Here
in
the
community
and
again
we
from
the
time
the
call
comes
in
to
the
police
and
the
police
alert
our
department
up
until
there's
a
disposition
in
port
or
not
all
sex
assault
cases
don't
result
in
court
proceedings
and
for
a
myriad
of
reasons
and
and
that's
okay,
our
our
goal
and
focus
is
making
sure
that
the
victim
is
safe,
secure
and
supported,
and
nothing
is
occurring
that
the
victim
isn't
comfortable
with,
as
it
relates
to
the
case
and
follow-ups
and
so
medical
advocacy,
getting
follow-up
care.
K
Post-Assault
felony
review.
We
assist
with
the
victim
recounting
the
story,
if
necessary,
illinois
crime
victim
compensation.
K
The
state
of
illinois
has
a
set
aside
dollars
to
reimburse
people
who've
been
victims
of
crime
and
there's
an
application
process,
and
we
walk
them
through
that
to
reimburse
any
sort
of
out
of
cost
issue
they
have
had
as
a
result
of
the
assault,
we
will
coordinate
special
watches
on
the
home
or
the
place
of
business
place
of
work
school.
K
As
it
as
necessary
for
the
victim
them
through
the
safe
homes
act
if
they
need
to
relocate
or
move
and
again
court
advocacy
and
the
most
important
counseling
referrals
to
ensure
that
the
victim
is
getting
enough
support
long
term,
many
people
will
refer
victims
to
our
department
for
counseling
services
and
we
do
not
do
long
term
counseling
because
of
the
type
of
work
with
our
call-out
schedules
and
our
crisis
work.
K
We
can't,
with
fidelity,
give
a
week-to-week
schedule
to
victims,
and
so
that's
why
a
lot
of
our
counseling
referrals,
our
counseling
requests,
are
referred
out.
Okay,.
K
So
this
is
our
24
hour
call
out
protocol.
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
like
a
layout
of
how
it
looks,
and
so
the
9-1-1
center
will
place
a
call
to
either
the
director
or
indi
indira
our
manager,
and
they
will
call
one
of
us
kelly
or
myself.
K
Currently,
there
are
only
two
of
us,
but
we
are
in
the
process
of
enter
bringing
on
a
third
advocate,
as
it
stands
now
kelly
and
I
alternate
weeks
on
call
so
there's
always
someone
on
call
the
week
begins
on
monday
at
4
30
and
it
resumes
the
following
monday
at
8,
00
am,
and
so
like.
I
said,
as
it
is
now
kelly,
my
alternate,
and
so
a
call
comes
in
the
9-1-1
center
will
reach
out
to
either
igor
and
dira.
K
They
then
will
call
us
if
they
can't
reach
ike
or
india
or
they'll,
call
us
directly
and
will
tell
us
hey.
We
got
a
death
notification,
we
have
a
fire,
whatever
the
call
out
is,
and
we
will
coordinate
with
the
supervisor
sergeant.
K
A
commander
has
to
the
call
out:
request
has
to
come
from
a
supervisor
from
the
department
police
department
and
we
get
as
many
details
as
we
can,
and
then
we
respond
in
person
to
either
the
scene
or
the
station
or
the
hospital
wherever
the
the
victim
or
victims
are
gathered.
K
There
have
been
situations
where
the
critical
incident
was
so
large
that
we
both
have
responded
and
there
so
there's
a
caveat
where,
although
there's
one
person
on
call,
there
have
been
situations
where
all
hands
are
on
deck.
There
have
been
situations
where
indira
has
had
to
assist
as
well.
K
K
Can
you
come
over
and
check
and
neighbors
neighbor
has
been
discovered
that
they've
passed
away,
so
that
check,
while
being
called,
has
now
turned
into
a
death
related
case,
and
that
would
if
the
neighbor
or
the
family
member
requests,
assistance
or
the
officer
assesses
that
this
person
is
not
well
enough
for
them
to
leave
them
unassisted.
K
They
can
consist
of
like
an
auto
accident
where
there
are
lots
of
people
involved
or
a
suicide
where
there
are
several
witnesses,
were
recoordinating
services
for
a
large
number
of
people
and
then
again,
death
related
cases
and
fire
most
times
the
red
cross,
coordinates,
fires
or
fire
related
calls.
However,
since
we've
been
in
covid,
I
don't
believe
they
were
doing
as
much
in
person
and
sometimes
it's
just
coordinating
with
them
on
the
phone
while
we're
we
can
get
to
them
faster.
K
We
can
get
to
the
scene
faster
and
we
can
just
be
the
the
arms
and
legs
to
kind
of
put
our
resources
together
to
make
sure
that
the
family
is
stable
and
that
there's
a
plan
moving
forward
to
get
them,
make
sure
they're
housed
and
that
they
are
clear
on
a
plan
of
plan
of
action
to
get
them
back
to
stability.
K
Okay,
and
so
once
you
give
you
a
few
raw
numbers,
this
should
say
actually
2021
nw
or
snapshot
our
end
of
year.
Reports
typically
aren't
done
until
the
very
very
end
of
february,
beginning
of
march,
but
I
wanted
to
compile
a
few
things
just
to
give
you
guys
a
general
idea
of
what
our
case
load
looks
like
what
our
call
volume
looks
like.
So
though
there
were
I'll,
give
you
an
example:
380
domestic
disturbances
that
we
responded
to,
that
doesn't
mean
that
there
were
380
police
reports
generated.
K
There,
probably
were
many
more,
but
once
we
went
through
the
report,
we
contacted
the
people
listed
on
the
report.
It
may
not
have
necessarily
been
a
true
domestic
disturbance,
so
these
are
380
domestic
disturbances
that
we
responded
to,
that.
We
did
some
sort
of
action
on.
I
think
that
I
tally
kelly
and
I
had
a
total
combined
total
of
14
a
little
over
1400
cases
this
year,
which
is
about
average
for
us
for
each
year,
since
it's
been
the
two
of
us.
So
again,
there
are
just
a
few.
K
The
higher
profile
type
cases
that
we
respond
to
things
that
probably
come
across
your
desk
a
little
more
often
than
not.
I
wanted
to
kind
of
highlight
so
you
kind
of
see
in
totality
what
the
numbers
kind
of
look
like
and
again
these
are
not
disaggregated.
These
are
the
numbers
that
we
responded
to,
or
had
some
sort
of
case
note
generated
about.
K
Okay,
voluntary
and
involuntary
cameras-
that's
another
number
that
stands
out
in
that
you
know
kelly
and
I
work
real
hard
to
ensure
that
there's
follow-up
care
so,
though,
they're
being
committed
to
a
facility
who
is
going
to
provide
therapy
services
for
whatever
reason
the
committal
was
deemed
necessary.
B
Can
I
ask
one
chair
and
ask
one
quick
question
about
this
stage:
yeah
go
ahead,
yeah
when
I'm
sorry
when
you
when
you
say
that
this
information
isn't
disaggregated.
If
you,
what
do
you,
what
do
you
mean
exactly
by
that.
K
So
I'm
saying
that
how
we've
done
we
do
our
end
of
year,
I
would
have
all
of
the
police
report
calls
for
service
in
this
category,
and
then
I
have
the
number
that
we
responded
to
and
then
I
go
back
and
look
at
what
were
the.
What
were
the
reasons
the
that
the
difference,
the
number
that's
the
difference
between
what
we
have
and
the
calls
for
service.
What
were
the
reasons
for
the
difference
so
that
there's
a
small
narrative
of
what
that's?
K
That
number
is
why
there
there
weren't
any
follow-up
on
our
part.
So
I'm
just
saying
these
are
just
the
numbers
of
the
calls
that
we
actually
did
some
action
on:
okay.
Okay,
so
when
you
see
the
police
department's
number,
they
may
have,
let's
say
they
may
have
25
robberies,
but
when
we
have
18-
and
that
may
be-
because
there
are
several-
that
we
weren't
able
to
reach
anybody-
there
was
one
or
two
that
weren't
once
the
detective
reached
out.
K
F
A
A
K
You
and
so
I'll
leave
it
on
the
last
screen.
I
I
would
like
to
say
I'm
sure
kelly
would
agree
and
jump
in
at
any
time.
I'm
thankful
that
we
have
leadership.
K
That
said,
I
called
a
meeting
said:
hey,
I'm
noticing
you
guys
are
being
called
out
a
lot
more,
I'm
noticing
that
the
cases
are
a
lot
heavier,
and
so
I
think
that
it's
time
for
us
to
really
sit
down
and
kind
of
get
a
third
advocate
in
the
last
a
couple
of
years
have
been
trying
for
everyone,
but
I
think
that
the
no
the
types
of
calls
that
we're
getting
the
types
of
call-outs
that
were
required
have
caused
us
to
kind
of
really
look
at
how
we
can
serve
in
a
stronger
capacity
and
give
more
a
more
concentrated
support
to
some
of
the
other
calls.
K
And
so,
as
a
result,
we've
had
to
kind
of
pull
back
on
some
some
other
things
we
used
to
respond
to
every
single
report
where
there
was
a
victim
listed.
So
now
we
have
to
kind
of
because
of
the
the
volume
we
kind
of
have
to
look
more
closely
at
what
actually
needs
help.
So
someone
who
may
have
called
into
the
made
a
police
report
so
when
I
say
called
in
every
time
someone
calls
and
requests
an
officer
or
officer
responds
to
an
address.
K
That
is
a
police
report
that
was
generated
so
there
may
have
been
one
that
was
a
criminal
trespass
to
land
where
there
wasn't
a
crime
that
was
committed,
but
the
victim
felt
uneasy.
K
That's
going
to
be
a
call
that
we'll
get
to
when
we
can
get
to,
because
we've
had
robbery
and
vehicle
vehicular
hijackings
that
have
become
more
prominent
or
aggravated
robberies
with
weapons.
That
kind
of
take
precedent.
So
I'm
thankful
that
we
are
having
active
conversation
about
increasing
our
advocate
number.
K
We
were
a
department
of
four
at
one
point
and
over
time,
we've
kind
of
gotten
down
to
two,
but
we're
seeing
that
there
there's
a
need-
and
I
appreciate
leadership
that
can
say
we
didn't
have
to
say
anything
but
ike
was
able
to
kind
of
take
a
look
at
our
call
volume
and
the
number
of
call
outs.
K
We
were
getting
to
to
say
that
we,
you
know,
we
need
some
additional
resources,
and
so,
when
you
have
community
members
who
are
saying
you
know,
I
took
me
a
few
days
to
hear
a
call
back
understand
that.
That's
why
there's
the
need
for
services
and
the
type
of
services
are
are
changing
and
require
a
little
more
involved.
K
Advocacy
one
homicide
typically
will
take,
will
go
on
a
course
of
three
to
five
years.
So
long
after
everyone's,
you
know
gone
back
to
their
routines
kelly
and
I
are
still
working
with
the
families
to
find
their
new
footing
or
and
to
work
through
the
mechanics
of
this.
That
type
of
case.
J
Yeah,
I
I
agree
you'll.
Let
me
just
jump
in
as
well
to
say
yeah
like,
for
instance,
I
think.
Last
year
we
had
what
six
homicides
so
when
you're
dealing
with
something
that
serious
the
type
of
follow-up
needed
by
an
advocate
is
very
intense,
especially
in
those
first
few
days.
Few
weeks
afterwards,
because
there
are,
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
calls
to
family
members.
J
J
Sooner
and,
like
ariel
said,
I
think
over
the
last
year,
with
the
number
of
serious
crimes
you
know
I
can
endure,
saw
that
we
were
being
stretched
thin
as
a
department
of
two
people
and
recognize
that
we
do
need
a
third
person.
So
that's
much
appreciated.
So
that's
why
it's
needed,
because
when
you
have
more
serious
cases
coming
about
frequently,
it
requires
a
different
level
of
victim
advocacy
right.
A
So
council,
member
reed,
do
you
have
you
have
some
more
questions
or
comments?
You
have
your
hand
up.
B
Yeah,
I
put
my
hand
up
a
while
ago,
and
I
think
part
of
it
got
answered.
I
was
gonna,
ask
the
team,
you
know
looking
at
all
of
this.
You
know
thinking
jesus
christ.
How
did
two
folks
handle
this
load?
How
even
you
know
our
three
folks
and
so
my
quest?
One
of
my
questions
was
going
to
be.
How
many
folks
do
you
think
we
need?
You
know
not.
B
I
mean
good
we're
getting
one
more,
but
how
many
do
you
think
we
need
in
order
to
effectively
do
this
work
because
I
distinctly
I
I
will
it
was.
It
was
almost
dramatic
for
me
watching
even
virtually
someone
was
live
streaming
when
the
shooting
happened
here
in
evanston
and
the
mother
and
family
members
arrived
on
the
scene
to
learn
that
their
son
had
been
killed.
It
is
something
I've
never
personally
witnessed
in
my
life.
B
You
know
someone
learning
that
their
their
child
has
just
been
killed,
and
I
will
never
forget
that
the
screams
that
I
heard
that
night
and
I
just
want
to
know
what
will
it
take
to
have
someone
on
the
scene
from
the
city.
You
know
who
is
trained
in
the
manner
that
you
you
two
are
to
help
respond,
because
what
I
did
notice
in
that
moment
was
in
our
police
officers,
who
are
doing
a
tough
job.
B
You
know
and
are
in
kind
of
a
tense
situation
and
they're
focused
on
you
know
the
crime
element
there.
It
just
did
not
seem
from
the
live
stream
video
that
they
were
well
equipped
to
deal
with
the
trauma
in
the
moment
and.
H
B
Really
want
us
to
be
able
to
resp
in
the
same
way
that
we
can
send
armed
folks
to
a
situation
like
that.
I
want
to
be
able
to
send
folks
like
yourselves
to
a
situation
like
that.
So
just
you
know
a
dream
world.
How
many
folks
would
it
take?
Do
you
think
it
would
take
to
really
you
know,
handle
the
load
effectively.
K
So
when
you
saw
the
live
stream,
we
probably
were
there,
but
we
don't
wear
all
of
the
same
equipment
that
police
officers
do
so
many
times
we
blend
in
okay,
like
I
said
when
so
a
little
bit
of
my
history,
I
worked
for
seven
years
in
youth
services
left
and
then
came
back
to
victim
services,
so
I
first
began
working
with
the
city
back
in
like
2000,
2000
and
so
victim
services.
K
Even
then
was
a
department
of
two
turned
three,
my
first
year
with
the
director
and
then
when
I
returned
it
was
a
department
to
turn
three
when
they
hired
me
and
so
three
seems
to
be
the
common
number
that
victim
services
has
held.
I
know
that
there
was
typically
three
advocates
and
an
interim
intern
did
not
do
after
hours.
Crisis
call
outs
for
legal
reasons
and
liability
reasons.
K
We
do
typically
have
an
hour
response
time.
Now.
A
lot
goes
into
that
our
response.
Time
is
from
the
time
that
we're
made
aware
of
the
call
from
indira
we
get
to
the
city.
Then
we
get
a
city
vehicle
and
then
we
go
to
the
location.
K
So
there's
a
little
bit
that
goes
into
that.
However,
the
entire
time
from
the
time
I
get
the
call
at
2am
to
the
time
I'm
getting
into
the
city
vehicle,
I'm
in
communication
with
who's
at
the
scene,
who's
at
the
station.
If
there's
a
number
of
victims,
I'm
getting
briefed
on
how
many
victims
there
are
constantly
making
an
assessment
if
there
needs
to
be
an
additional
advocate
called
out.
K
If
there's
other
entities
that
need
to
be
brought
in,
for
example,
if
I'm
going
to
a
fire-
and
there
are
two
houses
involved-
or
there
are
seven
family
members,
as
I'm
coming
into
the
scene,
I'm
reaching
out
to
the
red
cross,
I'm
reaching
out
to
indira,
I'm
we,
you
know,
carry
a
myriad
of
resources
in
our
phones
because
we
have
to
multitask
while
we're
safe,
while
we're
safely
getting
to
the
scene,
so
number
one.
When
you
see
the
officers
we're
probably
already
there
but
my
goal.
K
My
focus
is
the
family
first,
as
long
as
the
family
is
made
aware
of,
what's
going
on
moment
to
moment,
even
when
it's
unpleasant
news
that
that's
my
priority,
the
crowd
may
have
questions,
the
crowd
may
have
concerns
and
I'll
as
we
can,
we
can
address
those
but
the
family.
A
H
Yeah,
so
my
question
had
to
do
with
I'm
sorry.
If
you
guys
said
this,
I
was
late
like
the
referral
sources
that
you
have
available,
so
I
know
you're
at
the
scene,
you're
doing
a
lot
of
stuff,
but
then-
and
I
think
I
talked
to
you
both
about
this
after
the
scene
and
after
maybe
some
time
goes
away.
People
still
need
services
that
are
usually
past.
H
You
all's
ability
for
your
own
time,
and
so
can
you
kind
of
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
the
services
that
you
see
yourself,
referring
people
to
a
lot
and
where
there
are
gaps
in
those
services,
because
I
think
we
could
start
thinking
about
how
to
spend
some
of
our
mental
health
board,
funding
and
other
things
in
that
way,
so
that
you're
doing
the
kind
of
on
the
same
crisis
work,
but
we
know
that
people
have
supports
they
need
afterwards,
and
I
know
this
has
come
up
over
the
years
I've
been
here
with
mothers
who
have
unfortunately
lost
their
children
to
gun
violence,
not
really
having
you
know,
free
and
long-term
supports.
K
So
yeah,
that's
it
there,
the
long-term
supports,
so
we
do
connect
each
family,
mothers
and
siblings
and
and
cousins.
Whoever
requests,
certainly
the
the
immediate
family
with
therapy
services.
For
me,
that
has
even
been
excuse
me
and
I'm
sure
kelly
has
done
this
too.
You
know
asked
you
know
what
type
of
insurance
do
you
have
there's
insurance.
We
have
a
cadre
of
therapy,
therapists
that
we
will
plug
into
some
people
are
comfortable
getting
therapy
services
in
town.
Some
people
want
to
go
a
little
further
out.
K
Some
people
want
some
place,
that's
closer
to
their
jobs.
Telehealth
has
been
huge
now
and
I,
I
think,
has
been
very
helpful
for
some.
K
It's
not
necessarily
finding
the
service
but
they're,
still
paralyzed
in
the
grief,
and
so
even
making
the
calls
trying
to
find
someone
who's
available
is
is
too
much
so
before
we
and
hand
off,
or
we
never
really
in
homicide
cases
we're
speaking
specifically,
we
don't
ever
just
go
away
because
those
cases
whether
they're
solved
or
not,
we're
still
available
to
them,
we
are,
can
make
a
concerted
effort
to
connect
them
directly
with
services.
K
Here's
the
number
to
who
you're
supposed
to
call
this
is
who
you're
supposed
to
ask
for
where
we
find
struggle
is
where
there's
no
health
insurance
and
so
even
paying
a
nominal
fee
over
the
span
of
time
that
they're
going
to
need
those
services
can
provide
difficulty
for
them,
and
so
you
say
well,
you
know
they're
only
paying
25
but
25
over
two
years
is
a
hardship
for
a
lot
of
our
families,
and
so
that's
where
we
kind
of
work
to
you
know,
fill
fill
that
gap
family
institute
where
we
had
the
the
incident
with
at
the
ihop
on
howard.
K
They
entered
into
just
informal
verbal
agreement
with
us
that
everyone
from
that
incident
who
needed
support
therapy
services
were
kind
of
bumped
to
the
top
of
their
list,
and
so
we
were
able
to
get
people
in
they
didn't.
There
was
no
waiting
list
or
anything
like
that
for
them.
So
creating
more
linkage
agreements,
it's
more
difficult,
I'm
finding
now
than
it
was
pre-pandemic,
but
getting
the
cost
of
services.
K
The
cost
of
medication
that
may
be
attached
to
those
services
covered
over
a
longer
period
of
time
has
proved
to
be
a
hardship.
H
And
then
just
to
follow
up
with
that
one
and
think
of
yours
on
the
phone
is
that
something
that
we
could
look
at
using
emergency
services?
For
so
I
know,
usually
it's
like
the
one
love
some
people
get
for
whatever
deals
or
what
they
you
know
they
have,
but
I
imagine
particularly
to
your
point.
Therapy
is
going
to
be
emergency
service
for
some
people,
so
maybe
that's
something
we
could
think
about.
If
people
can
use
that
funding.
For
you
know
co-pays
for
doctors
appointments.
H
I
know
that
we've
used
it
for
medication
in
the
past,
but
you
know
therapy
is
medication,
so
I
think
we
should
maybe
think
about
how
we
can
expand
that
that
cost
under
emergency
services.
L
Good
evening,
everyone,
dear
perkins
human
services
manager,
so
many
times
we
have
had
some
crossover
between
victim
services
where
we've
had
to
utilize
some
of
our
emergency
assistance
funds.
Sometimes
you
know
people
have
to
take
off
work
and
they
may
need
some
rental
assistance.
So
we
we've
certainly
done
that
if
kelly
or
arielle
call
and
say
hey,
this
person
really
can't
afford
this.
Is
there
any
pot
of
money
we
can
find?
We
always
look
under
our
emergency
assistance
funding
to
find
that
money.
L
We've
never
really
designated
a
line
item
for
those
type
of
things,
but
we
we
definitely
try
and
pay
for
those
things.
If
we
can.
A
Oh
great,
thank
you,
council
members,
any
other
council
member
burns.
Do
you
have
a
handout.
E
Yeah,
that
was
actually
my
question
because
I
put
in
a
referral
quite
some
time
ago
about
crediting
a
victim
services
fund
a
set
aside
just
to
do
that
work,
and
I
guess
that
would
come
here.
I
you
know
so
cheer.
I
guess
that's
just
a
question
for
you
or
I
thought
it
was
also
something
that
could
have
came
up
in
the
budget
conversation,
but
it
didn't.
You
know,
but
I'd
love
to
yeah
I'd
love
to
have
that
discussion.
F
Yeah
absolutely
good
evening:
everyone
again,
we
do
have
a
designated
fund,
the
human
services
fund
that
was
established
in
2020
for
social
services.
That
also
includes
victim
services.
This
is
a
dedicated
fund
that
was
created
to
respond
to
social
services
and
any
activities
within
within
that.
So
it's
something
that
we
we
have
within
just
for
your
information.
F
E
Thank
you,
and
I
guess
what
I
want
to
get
clear
is
one:
do
we
need
more
funds
in
that
fund?
Are
we
is
there's?
Do
we
have
one
fund,
that's
addressing
a
variety
of
issues
where
it
would
make
sense
to
split
that
up
in
two?
I
just
want
to
obviously-
and
I
you
know
director
of-
but
you
know
we-
you
know
I
reach
out
to
you
probably
on
a
weekly
basis,
but
for
folks
that
reach
out
to
me
in
need
of
of
these
type
of
resources.
E
F
Yeah,
absolutely
when
it
comes
to
the
type
of
work
that
we
do
in
social
services.
Funds
always
important
is
something
that
we
will
definitely
welcome,
but
as
it
stands,
the
way
that
our
funds
are
segmented,
they
are
put
into
various
buckets
for
various
activities.
For
example,
we
do
have
a
part
just
for
emergency
housing
but
of
course,
there's
some
protocols
and
policies
that
we've
put
in
place
for
that
part
of
money
and
any
other
activity
that
we
have
within
within
the
department.
K
F
Number
for
those
who
are
in
need
of
food
and
what
have
you
so
these
are
things
that
we've
we've
created
along
along
the
way
that
we've
noticed
where
the
needs
lie
in
our
community
and
we've
been
able
to
segment
some
money
and
allocate
some
money
towards
to
watch
those
purposes.
But
in
terms
of
seeking
funds
as
it
stands,
we
do
have
a
number
of
positions
that
we
want
to
have
to
fill
within
that
human
services
form
not
just
in
a
human
services
department.
M
F
Are
the
things
that
we
are
keeping
in
mind
and
as
ariel
and
kelly
alluded
to?
We
are
looking
for
an
additional
advocate
and
that's
where
that
part
of
money
will
be
will
be
coming
from
or
we
do
find
someone
suitable
or
for
that
position.
E
So,
just
to
be
clear
as
it
stands
now,
where
the
money
and
each
we
have
enough
money
in
each
bucket
to
take
care
of
our
you
know
our
annual
needs
in
each
area
as
it
stands
today,.
F
Well,
at
this
point,
given
that
have
a
number
of
vacancies
that
is
dedicated
for
those
positions,
we're
okay
there
as
far
as
activities
go,
we
have
put
an
allocation
that
we
think
would
be
adequate
for
the
entire
year,
but
you
just
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen
right.
E
F
A
F
A
Yeah
yeah
well
kelly
and
ariel.
We.
We
really
appreciate
your
being
with
us
this
evening
to
share
all
the
amazing
and
important
work
that
the
two
of
you
are
doing
for
our
residents
and
we
look
forward
to
your
having
a
third.
K
J
A
So
I
believe
we
have
chief
eddington
with
us
now,
so
we
can
go
back
to
a
couple
of
our
business,
our
police
issues
we
had
we
were.
We
had
the
review
of
the
police,
complaints
and
comments
report
and
so
councilmember
reed.
Did
you
have
a
question
about
that?.
B
Yes,
thank
you
and
thank
you
chief
edmonton,
and
I'm
sorry
was
that
commander
glue.
That
you
said
is
that
who
you
said
our
other
yes,
chief,
bettington
and
commander
blue?
Okay,
yes,
commander!
Are
you
with
ops
now?
Is
that
your
new?
Yes?
Okay?
Yes,
I
do
record
okay,
great!
Well,
congratulations
on
that.
I
think
relatively
new
position
for
mountain,
so
I
do
have
who's
the
other
ops
officer.
My
apologies
right
now
sergeant
hart.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
I'm
pulling
this
back
up,
so
one
this
is.
There
may
have
been
one
other
complaint
register
that
I
at
least
that
I
recall
coming
before
this
committee.
I
I
would
love
to
get
a
copy
of.
You
know
the
rules
and
the
the
policy
book
that
all
this
is.
You
know
referencing,
but
in
in
the
meantime
I'm
curious.
B
N
So
with
we
deal
with
a
complaint
or
die
or
any
type
of
internal
investigation,
whatever
originates.
N
There
are
rule
violations
that
do
have
a
prescribed
discipline
that
goes
with
a
progressive
discipline,
but
typically
in
the
complaints
that
you
will
see,
it
is
based
on
a
totality
of
sustained
rule
violations
that
determines
discipline.
B
Okay,
so
it's
really
left
up
to
the
discretion
of
this
period
of
standard
sheet.
As
you
said,
based
on
the
totality
of
the
events,
okay,
is
there
okay,
that
is
helpful
and
then
is
it
possible
for
can?
Can
you
share?
I
don't
believe
it
is
here.
Am
I
wrong
on
that?
Is
the
rule
manual
within
our
packet?
I
don't
know,
I
don't
think
I
do
see
it
here.
So
is
it
possible
for
you
all
to
share
the
the
rules
with
us?
N
The
next
meeting,
when
the
for
this
particular
for
this
particular
complaint,
the
first
page,
will
have
the
rules
specific
to
this
investigation
and
the
longer
term
question
is:
if
it's
something
along
the
lines,
you
would
want
to
see
a
policy
and
rule
violation.
N
What
are
comprehensive
lists
of
rule
and
policy
violations?
Could
it
cannot
be
our
rules?
We
can
get
that
to
you.
B
Yeah,
that's
what
I'm
looking
for
the
comprehensive
list:
okay,
yeah!
Thank
you!
Thank
you
and
then.
Lastly,
I
don't
know
if
this
is
something
for
an
executive
session,
but
I
I
I
would.
B
B
Any
legislative
or
policy
response
that
that
would
help
avoid
something
like
this
in
the
future.
So
I
just
love
the
opportunity,
maybe
offline
or
in
some
executive
session,
to
discuss
that
a
little
bit
further
with
with
youtube
or
with
ops.
B
Yeah
we'd
be
happy
to
do
that.
Council
member,
but
I
I
think
that
one
thing
that
happens
in
an
organization
of
the
size
of
the
evanston
police
department.
M
M
So
we'll
we'll
get
that
to
you,
and
that
may
be
something
in
that
time
where
we
can
do
a
one-on-one,
where
we
can
guide
you
to
the
significant
portions
of
the
policy
manual
that
you're
most
interested
in
because
it's
it's
it's
a
it's.
A
rather
lengthy
guide.
B
And
with
that,
thank
you
thank
you
for
that,
and
yes,
certainly
how
many
hours,
given
that
we
have
a
a
policy
manual,
that
is
a
thousand
pages
long
and
our
officers
have
to
be
familiar
with
essentially
every
single
rule
in
that
document.
In
order
to
you
know,
effectuate,
you
know
prompt
healthy
community
service
service
to
our
community.
B
How
many
hours,
roughly
do
officers
spend
training
with
specifically
the
policy
manual
and
how
is
that
worked
into
their
regular?
You
know
duties.
N
M
N
Be
big
chunks
of
time
when
the
when
it
first
gets
issued
smaller
chunks
of
time
when
policies
are
updated
and
then
there's
a
daily
continual
engagement
with
the
policy
through
training
bulletins,
to
go
back
to
go
back
to
something
that
chief
eddington
hit
on
earlier
with
the
policy
manual,
especially
lexapol.
N
When
we
do
turn
that
over.
I
would
also
recommend
he
offered
sitting
down
and
going
through
it,
because
when
we
pull
that
manual
and
turn
it
over
to
you,
it
does
not
come
over
in
a
searchable
format.
So
it
is
about
1500
pages
that
are
not
easily
searchable.
N
Well,
if
you,
if
you
are
an
officer
and
you
are
entered
in
lexical-
and
you
are
a
sworn
officer-
you
do
that
it's
a
very
user-friendly
searchable
database,
but
when
the
the
entire
policy
manual
is
downloaded
and
turned
over
to
non-department
citizen
yeah,.
B
Do
we
do
we
think
that
is
an
issue
that
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
we
want
to
have
either
conversation
with
flexible
or
if
there's
some
other
version
of
this
company
out
there,
that
also
takes
into
consideration.
You
know
the
the
public
aspect
of
policing
that
residents
should
be
able
to.
You
know
access
these
policies
just
as
easily
as
officers
are
because
we
have
to
again
hold
each
other
accountable,
but
I
don't
need
a
response
to
that.
B
One
thing
that
I
did
want
to
mention
is:
I
heard
you
say
that
there
are
regular,
almost
daily
tests
that
the
officers
go
through.
So
how
formal
is
that
are
officers
required
to
participate
in
these
daily
tests?
Our
test
results,
then
you
know
if
they
do,
it's
been
a
public
record,
so
are
those
results
kept
somewhere
and
then
are
we
kind
of
measuring
how
familiar
you
know
on
this
day?
B
With
this
question
90
some
odd
percent
of
the
officers
in
our
force,
you
know
got
this
got
this
correct
and
on
this
day
you
know
70
or
100.
Are
we
measuring
this.
N
So
how
it's
measured
is
we
get
a
record?
I
can
pull
a
report
you
this
will
show
who
who
and
who
has
not
taken
their
their
training
bulletins.
N
As
far
as
it
being
reported,
we
report
that
they've
done
it
and
they've
engaged
with
it,
but
that's
all
that's
reported,
but
we
can
check
and
make
sure
our
officers
are
in
compliance
and
completing
these
training
bulletins,
and
typically
that's
done
a
couple
times
a
month
to
make
sure
people
are
staying.
Current.
N
Then,
if
the
the
point
of
the
bulletin
is
to
engage
them
with
the
policy
itself,
so
it
doesn't
necessarily,
it
does
not
record
a
right
or
wrong
answer
records
that
they've
engaged
and
they're
not.
They
can't
continue
and
complete
that
until
they've
been
able
to
answer
the
question
appropriately.
A
Also,
remember
reid,
may
I
suggest
that
maybe
you
follow
up
with
more
of
these
questions
when
you
have
your
session,
looking
at
the
lexical
document
with
with
chief
eddington
and
because
we
we
do
need
to
move
along,
so
we
can
get
to
our
council
meeting.
B
Yes,
yes,
and
I
guess
also
in
that
session
I'd
if
there's
yeah,
that's
fine!
That's
fine!.
A
All
right
well,
then,
could
I
have
a
motion
to
accept
and
place
on
file
the
police,
complaints
and
comments
report.
That's
remember
reveal
I'm
so
sorry,
okay,
councilmember
fleming.
H
Sorry
I
was
trying
to
work
the
hand
thing
yeah,
so
I
I
don't
have
any
questions
about
this
complaint
itself,
but
if
you
can
tell
me
commander
glue
like
how
many
we
have-
because
I
remember
the
date
from
this
one
like
how
many
we
have
that
are
processing
and
like
where
we
are
with
that,
because
I
know
we
haven't
met
as
a
committee
for
a
few
months
and
sometimes
these
things
take
a
while.
So
you
can
just
kind
of
give
us
a
landscape
of
complaints
that
you're
looking
at
now.
N
Off
the
top
of
my
head,
I'm
planning
to
have
if
ever
the
paperwork
is
done,
we'll
have
two
more
complaints
in
front
of
hsc.
The
next
time
we
meet
we're,
definitely
gonna
have
or
plan
on
having
one,
if
not
two
go
to
cprc
next
month
and
then,
depending
on
how
fast
those
go
through
they'll
be
at
the
hsc
meeting
after
february.
N
So
I'm
gonna
say
probably
we
have
between
what's
already
completed,
passed
through
cprc
and
coming
to
hsc
and
what
needs
to
go
to
cprc
and
then
come
to
hsc.
I
think
probably
have
four
or
five
investigations,
but
I
plan
on
at
least
two,
if
not
three
coming
to
hsc
next
month,.
H
Okay
and
then
just
to
go
back
to
this
one,
because
I
can't
remember,
I
remember
the
discipline
and
all
that
what
was
our
follow
up
with
the
complaint
and
does
she
feel
like.
Actually,
I
know
she
had
another
case
that
this
one
kind
of
strung
stream
from
so
do.
We
have
an
idea
of
like
how
she
feels
in
terms
of
you
know,
I
think
she
mentioned
like
safety
and
just
feeling
uncomfortable
and
so
like
how
she
is
feeling
moving
forward,
assuming
maybe
her
other
case
is
still
pending.
H
N
Sure
so
I
believe
her
original
case
and
I
would
have
to
get
an
update.
I
believe
her
original,
I
want
to
say
case.
The
original
report
that
was
made
was
already
follow
up
and
disposed
of
some
time
ago.
I
would
have
to
to
come
up
with
an
answer
of
where
that
went.
I
would
have
to
refresh
my
memory
with
regards
to
this
complaint
that
she
made
this
this
cr.
N
H
A
Yes,
thank
you
so
could
I
have
a
motion
then,
to
accept
and
place
on
file
the
police,
complaints
and
comments
report.
B
C
A
Is
approved
and
then
chief
eddington,
I
think
we're
also
ready
to
hear
a
little
bit
from
you
about
things
at
the
police
department.
Yes,
thank
you,
chairperson
I'll.
This
will
be
a
quick
overview.
I
think
we'll
have
more
in-depth
information
to
present
to
you
the
next
month,
but
this
is
kind
of
a
a
quick
reaction
to
what
what
I've
discovered
since
I've
adapted.
M
Issues
but,
but
I
have
many
factors
in
that,
but
I
want
to
start
off
with
the
steps
that
have
been
undertaken
to
address
those
concerns,
and
the
first
thing
I
want
to
start
with
is
the
12-hour
shift,
the
memorandum
of
understanding
interim,
a
city
manager,
gandursky,
hr
director,
lara
corporation
councilman,
the
cummings,
the
command
staff
of
epd
and
the
sergeants
and
police
officers.
M
This
mou
covers
until
december
of
this
year,
and
my
perception
of
this
is
it's
kind
of
a
12-month
shakedown
cruise
to
see
if
the
12-hour
shift
can
work
in
an
organization
as
large
and
complex
as
the
evanston
police
department.
There
are
many
nuances
to
law
enforcement
and
cook
county.
That
other
places
that
have
this
12-hour
shift
don't
deal
with.
So
as
we
work
through
there
and
work
to
its
impact
on
training
work
through
the
impact
of
the
safety
act
on
the
training
of
the
police
department.
M
M
It
is
we're
taking
officers
that
will
have
been
through
basic
training,
have
some
experience
that
shortens
up
the
fto
program
and
also
subtracts
the
need
to
send
them
to
the
12
or
14
week
basic
training
school.
So
this
is
a
quick
way
to
do
it.
One
of
the
things
that
hr
has
agreed
to
do.
I
got
this
process
is
to
advertise
in
30
day
cycles,
so,
whatever
applicants
we
get
in
that
30-day
cycle,
we
process
those
repost
the
ad
and
do
that
next
movement.
M
So
we
think
we'll
have
much
better
success
using
that
system,
so
we
have
high
hopes
for
that.
I
want
to
revert
to
now
what
the
problems
are.
Staffing
is
a
nationwide
issue
for
a
law
enforcement
everywhere,
and
I
think
that
those
staffing
issues
are
both
a
symptom
and
an
effect
on
the
morale
related
we
have
here.
M
One
of
the
things
that
happened
is
with
the
vast
number
of
our
poor
personnel
or
tier
2
pensioners,
which
means
essentially
their
pensions,
are
portable
to
any
other
illinois
municipality.
That
means
we're
in
direct
competition.
What
benefits
we
offer,
what
salaries
we
offer,
what
working
conditions
we
offer.
M
One
of
the
things
that
I
was
that
were
in
this
contest
for
other
personnel
commander
liz
glenn
wrote
our
ad
on
blue
line
to
highlight
the
things
that
make
evanston
an
attractive
employer.
I
think
that
is
very
significant
because
it
has
a
different
slant
on
it
than
what
we
would
be
telling
our
recruits,
who
have
have
no
background.
M
We,
I
asked
the
office
of
administration
to
run
me
a
list
of
personnel
who
have
left
between
january
2019
and
today,
where
we've
lost
20
officers
to
other
police
departments
and
that
that
that
is
telling,
and
one
of
the
key
things
about
that
that
I
want
to
alert
the
council
to
is
that
these
are
poor
personnel
with
with
either
just
out
from
just
out
of
basic
training
and
less
than
a
year
on
to
11
year
veterans,
who
have
elected
to
leave
service
with
the
evanston
police
department
and
be
employed
by
another
agency.
M
I
think
it's
going
to
take
some
additional
research
on
my
part
to
figure
it
out
why
that
is.
I
think
that
promotional
opportunities
are
part
of
that.
I've
discussed
how
we
might
improve
that
with
hr,
and
we
continue
to
have
those
discussions.
I
will
also
look
for
other
issues
that
we
can
address
quickly
in
an
effort
to
reduce
the
flow
of
experienced,
capable
officers
out
the
door.
M
A
Thank
you
and
councilmember
reed,
a
quick
question.
Yeah.
B
Just
very
very,
it's
really
just
a
question
for
the
next
meeting.
I'd
really
love
to
see
to
as
a
part
of
kind
of
backing
up.
You
know
the
need,
for
you
know
the
level
of
policing
that
we
have
now,
particularly
how
you
know
bringing
them
filling
22
fake
vacancies,
I'd
love
to
see
it
just
a
comparison
of
crime
rates,
let's
say
between
you
know
or
across
a
few
decades.
Looking
at
the
you
know,
80s,
not
maybe
even
going
back
to
the
70s.
B
If
we
haven't
gone
back
that
far
70s
80s
90s,
you
know
2000s,
2010s
and
now
leading
to
now
to
see
how
one
crime
you
know
you
know
violent
crime
in
particular-
has
trended.
And
then
you
know
what
the
number
of
police
officers
you
know
sworn
officers
on,
evanston
police
force
how
those
two
lines
have
you
know
correlated
with
each
other
over
the
decades.
I
would
just
love
to
see-
and
I
think
it's
you
know
really
relevant
to
a
lot
of
the
stuff
we're
discussing
here.
A
Month's
report
well,
thank
you,
chief
eddington
and
we'll
look
forward
to
in-depth
discussion
with
you
at
our
meeting
next
month
about
about
these
issues.
So
thank
you.
A
And
then
darryl
king,
I
think
you're
with
us
now.
Would
you
like
to
talk
to
us
about
the
public
works
agency
apprentice
program,
update.
O
Good
evening,
chair
reveal
members
of
the
committee
darrell
king
water
production
bureau,
chief
public
works
agency,
so
here
within
the
public
works
agency,
we
have
two
apprenticeship
programs,
one
being
the
water
plant
operator,
apprenticeship,
which
is
a
one-year
apprenticeship
and
it
began
in
2017,
and
we
also
have
a
water
worker
one
apprenticeship.
O
This
is
a
two-year
apprenticeship
and
this
one
began
in
2009,
so
the
the
water
plant
operator
apprenticeship
was
started
as
a
succession
planning
tool.
Many
water
plant
operators
here
in
evanston
are
are
pretty
much
at
the
age
and
year
requirement
where
they
can
retire
and
as
well
as
across
the
country.
This
is
something
that's
going
on
within
the
drinking
and
wastewater.
O
And
so
we
started
a
apprenticeship
program
in
2017
to
train
evanston
community
members
on
both
sides
of
our
water
plant
here
in
our
filtration
division,
where
the
treatment
occurs,
as
well
as
our
pumping
division,
where
the
pumping
occurs
where
the
water
comes
in
from
the
lake
after
it's
been
treated,
it
gets
pumped
out
to
to
the
community
and
businesses,
as
well
as
our
wholesale
customers
and
then
in
its
six-month
rotations.
O
It's
one
year,
apprenticeship,
six
months
in
pumping
six
months
in
filtration
and
and
we
also
have
the
water
worker
one
apprenticeship,
that's
a
two-year
program
whereby
the
apprentices
rotate
through
four
divisions
instead
of
two
the
filtration
division.
O
This
is
more
repair
and
maintenance,
labor
type
of
work,
whereas
the
other
apprenticeship,
they're
learning
how
to
operate
the
plant
so
pumping
and
filtration
repair
and
maintenance
duties
six
months
in
each
and
then
distribution,
water
distribution
and
our
our
sewer
distribution
six
months
in
in
each
of
those
in
each
of
those
divisions,
and
so
since,
since
the
apprenticeship,
apprenticeship
and
inception
roughly
about
61
or
so
of
the
apprentices
have
been
either
hired
by
by
evanston
or
by
other
municipalities
or
utilities.
O
Most
recently,
which
actually
just
occurred
over
the
past
week
or
two
three
one,
current
apprentice
and
two
former
apprentices,
two
of
them
have
been
recently
promoted
and
one
apprentice
was
just
recently
hired
as
a
full-time,
employee
and,
and
all
of
this
happened
in
our
water
distribution
division.
O
We
currently
are
in
the
process
of
setting
up
interviews,
for
we
need
to
fill
four
apprenticeship
vacancies
in
our
water
worker,
one
apprenticeship
program,
so
we're
getting
those
interviews
set
up
now.
O
We
do
have
two
vacancies
in
our
water
plant
operator
apprenticeship,
and
we
only
do
two
at
a
time
with
that,
but
I'm
holding
off
on
advertising
and
filling
those
for
now.
Until
you
know,
more
information
comes
with
regard
to
the
pandemic.
O
Our
water
plant
operators,
I
would
have
to
say,
are
probably
the
most
important
positions
down
here
at
the
utility
and
so
in
an
effort
to
preserve
that
and
protect
that
position
holding
off
on
that.
The
goal,
hopefully,
is
to
advertise
and
do
that
this
year,
but
you
know
we're
tracking
what
what
happens
with
the
pandemic
and
and
just
some
some
benefits
that
that
each
apprenticeship
has
is
for
the
the
water
plant
operator.
You
know
their
intro
to
to
plant
work
operator.
O
Work
approved,
iepa,
classroom,
coursework
at
a
local
community
college,
basic
knowledge
to
pass
the
iepa
class
c
c,
as
in
charlie
water
operator
exam,
and
that
kind
of
covers
everything
from
the
distribution
system
to
chemical
addition
and
as
well
as
confined
space
experience,
and
that's
that's
the
water
plant
operator
apprentice
and
the
water
worker
one.
You
know
they
get
an
intro
to
to
the
industry,
basic
knowledge
to
pass
a
water
work.
One
written
test,
possession
of
a
cdl
license
confined
space
and,
of
course,
both
you
know.
O
References
and
you
know
even
for
other
opportunities
with
other
utilities
and
and
the
apprentices
in
terms
of
benefits
receive
basic
health
benefits,
and
so
we
did
have
another,
a
third
apprenticeship
within
pwa,
where
the
apprentice
could
rotate
even
through
divisions
over
in
public
services,
so
like
greenways
and
streets
and
and
those
divisions.
O
So
that
was
started
in
2016..
It
was
eliminated
in
2018
due
to
budget
constraints,
but
that
apprenticeship
is
coming
back
around
there
were
there
were
dollars
because
those
were
general
front,
general
fund
dollars.
Those
funds
have
been
put
back
into
the
2022
budget
request,
and
so
there
will
be
one
position
field
this
year
for
the
pwa
apprenticeship
over
in
the
public
services
bureau,
so
that
that's
an
update
that
I
have.
I
don't
know
if
anyone
has
any
questions
regarding
that.
A
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
do
see
a
few
hands
council
member
braithwaite.
C
C
I
think
2011
2012,
just
looking
at
the
complexion
of
public
works
overall
and
we
didn't
have
many
people
of
color
within
the
department
and
the
perception
was
also
a
lot
of
the
folks
were
from
outside
of
evanston.
You
know
for
well-paying
positions,
and
so
I'm
just
really
glad
to
see
that
the
program
is
going
well.
C
I
know
that
dave's
role
has
changed,
but
it
is
something
that
we
continue
to
pay
attention
to
to
make
sure
that
each
department,
when
possible,
mirrors
and
looks
like
our
city
of
evanston.
So
thank
you
for
taking
a
sense
of
ownership
on
it,
and
I
was
looking
for
you
know
when
I
heard
you
say
that
their
vacancies
to
be
able
to
share
that
community
wide.
C
So
with
all
the
wonderful
work
that
you're
doing
you
know
when
you're
ready
to
open
up
those
positions,
and
I
and
I
hope
that
it
does
happen
soon-
please,
you
know
forward
that
to
members
of
council.
So
we
can
socialize
it
around
town
and
get
you
a
good
quality
pool
of
applicants
to
choose
from
okay.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
H
Andrew
thank
you
darryl
one
thing
and
also
the
complimentary
is
that
you
know
you.
I
rarely
get
complaints
about
the
water
department
darrell,
so
I
have
to
have
to
give
you
your
praise
for
that.
Also,
I
know
when
I
spoke
to
you
early
on
you
were
one
of
the
main
department
has
to
look
to
hire
people
who
you
know
if
they,
if
they
could,
you
know,
had
a
background
right.
Knowing
people
make
mistakes,
you
were
always
willing
to
give
people
a
second
chance.
So
thank
you
for
that.
H
The
question
I
did
have
that
wasn't
in
the
document
was:
what
is
the
pay
now
for
the
positions,
because
I
know
long
ago
we
talked
about
maybe
trying
to
increase
the
pay
if
possible,
and
then
I
know
I
heard
from
a
few
people
who
just
couldn't
take
it
on,
because
at
the
time
there
were
no
medical
benefits,
but
that
was
several
years
ago.
So
you
update
us
on
that.
O
Yeah,
the
the
the
program
starts
off,
both
both
apprenticeship
programs
start
at
14
an
hour
and
as
they
rotate
through
by
the
end
of
each
apprenticeship
they're
at
18
an
hour.
So
it's
like
six
months
at
14
and
then,
if
they
pass
the
probationary
period,
they
advance
up
to
15
or
16.
I
think
it's
16
and
then
it
goes
up
to
18.
B
It
is
still
up,
but
I
I
do
want
to
take
a
very
quick
second
to
just
heap
a
bit
of
this
is,
I
think,
my
first
time
I
don't
know
if
we've
had
the
pleasure
of
meeting
in
person,
mr
king,
but
I've
heard
a
lot
of
of
all
places,
heard
a
lot
of
great
things
about.
B
You
really
excited
that
you're
in
the
position
really
really
excited
that
you're
leading
on
this,
and,
of
course
you
know,
thank
you
to
folks
like
alderman,
braithwaite
and
others,
for
you
know
getting
the
ball
rolling
years
ago,
and
you
know
folks,
like
councilmember
burns,
for
you
know
taking
up
the
ball
a
bit
now
with
some
of
this
related
work,
but
really
thank
you
daryl
for
leading
on
this
particular
program
and
we're
just
really
really
glad
that
we
have
talent
like
yours
in
the
city
and
I'm
also
glad
to
hear
what
councilmember
fleming
said.
B
So
thank
you.
I
think
we
need
to
as
a
council
make
sure
that
we're
praising
our
good
staff
and
make
sure
that
folks,
even
in
the
water
department,
which
is
kind
of
tucked
away,
know
that
they're
appreciated.
So
thank
you,
sir.
Thank.
A
We
do
have
one
more
item
on
our
agenda,
which
is
general
assistance
update,
and
this
is
for
action
as
well.
A
Yes,
that's
fine,
okay!
Well,
we
will
be
sure
to
have
it
on
our
agenda
at
our
meeting
next
month.
So
thank
you.
A
Exactly
we
can
try
to
do
that,
okay.
Well,
then,
I
believe
we're
ready
to
adjourn
and
count
city
council
meeting
will
start
at
6
30..
So
we
have
five
minute
break.
