A
B
A
C
Yes,
thank
you.
This
comment
is
from
citizen,
Kathleen
I
think
it's
blaggard
II.
She
says
I'm
a
67
year
old,
disabled
woman,
largely
but
not
totally
house
bound
I'm,
also
a
long
long
time,
Evanston
resident
and
retired
civil
rights
lawyers,
civil
City
venues
are
frequently
inaccessible
to
me
due
to
poor
indoor
air
quality.
I
reported
one
aspect
of
this
problem:
noxious
cleaning
products
to
the
levy
center
and
to
my
Ninth
Ward,
alder
person.
Nothing
has
come
of
these
reports,
probably
because
cleaners
disinfectants
are
purchased
in
bulk
by
the
city
for
all
venues.
C
At
least
that's
my
impression.
I
got
from
the
levy,
Center
people
and
from
running
into
the
same
sickening
fumes
in
the
basement
of
the
Civic
Center
converting
to
effective,
less
toxic
cleaning
products
should
be
a
no-brainer
for
a
progressive
City
and
yet
habits
die
hard.
I'd
like
to
suggest
that
the
Human
Services
Committee
take
responsibility
for
moving
these
completely
unnecessary
access
barriers,
perhaps
working
with
environment
forward
and
age-friendly
Edmondson
task
force.
C
This
is
a
city's
opportunity
to
easily
to
easy,
cheap
voluntarily
compliance
with
a
DA
I'm
hearing
these
comments
with
the
city
manager
in
case
my
request
for
accommodation
will
be
better
addressed
in
the
corporation
council
or
some
other
City
Department.
My
illness
and
disabilities
are
profoundly
isolating
the
city.
The
Leavey
Center
in
particular,
should
be
a
meaningful
resource
for
me,
but
the
bathroom
and
floor
cleaning
products
locked
me
out.
It
is
more
cost-effective
for
the
city
to
start
with
a
small
trial
or
product
replacement
at
the
levy.
C
Center
and
the
levy
Center
would
be
a
good
place
to
start
even
seniors
with
respiratory
and
immune
disabilities
are
more
vulnerable
to
physical
harm
from
noxious
cleaners.
The
recent
brutal
cold
brings
to
mind
another
strong,
potentially
life
or
death
issue
for
the
city,
facilities
and
city
services
to
eliminate
indoor
air
pollution
as
an
access
barrier.
A
number
of
residents
lost
power
during
the
arctic
blast,
warming
centers
were
open,
including
the
Living
Center.
C
If
I
need
a
warming
center
or
a
cooling
center
or
temporary
shelter
in
the
event
of
some
disaster,
shouldn't
I
have
access
to
the
same
venues
of
others
as
other
people.
It
is
past
time
for
the
city
to
recognize
that
access
to
physical
facilities
must
include
but
not
be
limited
to
removal
of
architectural
barriers.
Poor
indoor
quality
is
a
barrier
for
many,
including
those
or
respiratory
disabilities.
The
federal
access
board
has
recognized
this
for
many
years.
It's
time
for
Everson
to
catch
up.
C
A
A
Items
for
discussion
hh1,
the
creation
of
a
language
access
plan,
is
legally
mandated
to
provide
limited,
English,
Proficient
individuals
with
meaningful
access
to
programs
and
activities
under
various
statutory
and
regulatory
requirements.
Due
to
receiving
federal
funds.
The
city
manager's
office
proposes
to
convene
a
group
of
public
facing
staff
members
to
collect
and
compile
relevant
data
that
will
help
draft
a
language
access
policy
for
the
city
of
Evanston.
D
C
C
C
C
Okay,
so
I
guess
here
my
concerns
I
appreciate
that
we're
finally
moving
forward
on
this
12
months
seems
like
a
very
long
time
to
access
this.
When
the
initial
conversation
started,
it
was
because
I
as
well
as
other
people
have
people
in
their
world
who
do
not
speak
English
and
there
was
no
either
keys.
You
know
staff
person
to
go
to
our
materials
that
you
might
have
at
your
ward
meeting
or
not
in
Spanish
and
I
know.
C
We
had
a
couple
of
Spanish
speakers
come
here
and
speak
to
us
in
Spanish,
so
we
could
understand
the
difficulty
of
not
understanding
the
language
and
I've
also
had
a
couple.
People
who
have
you
know
said:
they've
come
to
the
city
to
do
business
and
maybe
the
person
you
know
the
Department
or
whatever
they
were
speaking
to
didn't,
speak
Spanish.
C
D
Absolutely
so
there's
a
200
that
I
want
to
give
based
on
the
materials
that
we've
that
I,
that
I've
reviewed
this
past
weeks,
most
communities
depending
on
their
size
and
the
level
of
thoroughness,
of
their
plans.
They
took
anywhere
from
nine
to
eighteen
months
to
come
up
with
a
written
policy.
Now
a
written
policy
is
not
mandated
by
the
federal
government,
but
it
is
an
extra
step
that
we
would
take.
We
are
recommending
12
months
just
because
we
really
want
to
be
thorough
about
how
we
assess
what
our
needs
are.
D
So
given
our
time
constraints
with
staff
time,
especially
with
public
facing
staff,
we
have
to
find
mutual
convenient
times
for
all
the
staff
to
meet
and
give
us
their
feedback
on
what
your
interactions
have
been
with
the
public
and
then
perform
the
four
factor:
analysis
which
is
outlined
in
the
memo.
What
needs
to
happen
there
and
then
we
have
to
sorry
thank
you
and
then
we
have
to
assess
which
are
the
vital
documents
that
need
to
be
translated
and,
as
you
may
know,
those
can
be
very
time-consuming
and
very
expensive.
D
So
it
is
a
process
that
we
have
to
follow
and
we
also
want
to
collect
data
from
the
public,
collect
feedback
from
the
public
organizations
and
community
members
and
definitely
get
input
from
the
community
at
large.
So
that's
what
we
think
that
twelve
months
would
be
the
ideal
time
frame
for
us
to
come
up
with
a
comprehensive
policy
to
show
to
the
committee.
All.
C
Right
so
I
appreciate
that,
however,
I
guess
I
still
have
the
same
concern
I
understand
it
takes
a
while,
but
between
now
and
twelve
months
we
I
would
hope
our
being
mindful
about
our
residents,
who
do
not
speak
English.
If
we
look
on
some
of
the
maps
that
IT
provided
us,
we
can
see
that
in
almost
every
census
tract
we've
had
an
increase
of
non-english
speakers
and
I
understand
they.
Don't
all
speak
the
same
language
but
I
know
we
have
like
a
town
hall,
I
think
the
mayor
has
coming
up.
C
A
Have
a
question
right
now:
what
is
the
experience?
So,
what
even,
if
we
have
an
informal
process
or
someone
on
staff
that
is
not
necessarily
assigned
to
that
role?
What
is
the
experience
when
a
spanish-speaking
resident
comes
and
needs
services
at
our
department?
How
do
we
handle
that?
Do
we
turn
them
away,
or
are
we
figuring
out
a
way
to
accommodate
them
until
we
have
this
plan
developed.
E
Included
in
the
scuse
me
kimberly,
richardson,
deputy
city
manager,
included
in
a
packet
today
is
our
guidelines
that
we
currently
are
using.
These
are
guidelines,
not
a
policy
and
so
for
those
who
are
out
were
facing
when
those
who
are
coming
to
the
city,
civic
center.
We
do
have
members
of
our
staff
who
are
able
to
assist
them
and
able
to
translate.
However,
it's
not
consistent,
so
the
staff
member
who
typically
will
be
the
person
to
translate
as
out
of
the
office
for
the
day.
We
don't
have
someone
there
that
could
be
of
assistance.
E
We
currently
have
a
list
that
we
have
of
members
in
our
organization
in
their
languages.
If
they
are
multilingual
lingual,
we
have
a
list
that
we
have
internally,
that
we
can
tap
into.
But
again
it's
not
formalized
policy
and
there's
training.
That
goes
along
with
this.
That
should
be
attained
as
well,
and
so
it's
very
much
as
a
own
as
an
as
a
need
basis
and
we're
trying
to
change
that
to
being
more
of
a
consistent
process.
E
But
the
guidelines
like
I
mentioned
are
in
there.
That's
what
we're
following
currently,
but
we
want
to
make
those
guidelines
more
improve
on
those
guidelines,
as
well
as
identify
the
type
of
concerns
that
Alderman
Fleming
has
mentioned
in
regards
to
requests
for
documents
that
need
to
be
translated.
When
do
we
translate
all
those
things
that
have
been
discussed
in
previous
meetings,
we
have
not
really
formalized
a
plan
for
that.
A
B
So
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
three
one
one,
because
I
was
wondering
it's
one
thing
to
be
able
to
help
someone
when
they
come
to
the
office
with
you
know
needing
to
file
some
papers
or
something.
But
if
someone
is
in
an
emergency,
what
do
we
are
we
able
to
respond
right
away
to
you
know
whatever
their
situation
is
I?
Guess
I?
Don't
that's
our
three
one,
one
number,
our
nine
one,
one
or.
A
Further
discussion,
thank
you.
We
look
forward
to
that
report.
Thank
you.
Hh2.
We
are
going
to
get
an
update
on
services
provided
during
the
recent
severe
weather
from
director
of
Vonda
Thomas.
The
community
did
a
fantastic
job
on
looking
after
thy
neighbor
and
we
will
hear
more
from
director
thomas.
Thank
you
sure.
G
G
They
also
provided
transfer
transportation
to
families
to
get
back
and
forth
to
our
city
facilities
such
as
the
Leavey,
Center
and
Fleetwood
Jourdain,
and
again
we
had
many
many
grateful
individuals
and
families
that
really
all
pulled
together.
So,
as
you
mentioned,
neighbors
were
helping
neighbors
individuals
even
at
the
connections,
facilities
and
interfaith
action.
Emergency
shelters
were
helping
one
another.
G
What
connections?
Experience
was
40
additional
hours
in
overtime
and
for
this
time
of
year
they
had
200
additional
encounters
than
what
they're
used
to
during
their
drop-in
center
hours.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
interphase
action,
assume
Murphy
and
her
team
at
the
hospice
hospitality
Center.
They
coordinated
many
many
volunteers
and
they
expressed
to
me.
They
had
more
than
enough
volunteers
to
come
out
at
all
the
locations
throughout
the
entire
week
that
they
did
have
the
emergency
shelter.
G
Who
did
reach
out
to
me
with
the
understanding
that
we
had
deployed
cots
and
pillows
before
for
the
emergency
shelter,
and
so
we
did
deploy
six
additional
cuts
during
the
cold
snap
and
then
we're
sending
six
additional
cuts
in
the
morning
to
also
support
the
emergency
shelter.
They
can
typically
accommodate
anywhere
between
thirty
five
individuals,
but
they
were
maxed
during
the
cold
snap,
a
total
of
47
per
night
when
they
matched
the
cots
that
they
had
available.
G
Hilda's
place
opened
up
and
we
deployed
six
cots
to
Hill
this
place
to
accommodate
the
overflow,
the
city
of
Evanston.
Again,
as
mentioned,
we
were
able
to
receive
cots
through
our
emergency
preparedness
grant
funding,
and
so
we
make
sure
that
if
the
cots
and
pillows
and
blankets
are
needed
for
the
emergency
shelters,
staff
have
deployed
them
at
request.
I'd
like
to
thank
our
city
staff
because
everyone
rallied
and
roll
up
their
sleeves
a
sister
in
this
time.
Three
one
one
was
incredible
and
navigating
and
helping
families
connect
the
dots
to
services
needed.
G
So
I
really
appreciate
that
staff.
They
they
worked
incredibly
hard,
patrick
denigan,
who
was
instrumental
in
staying
in
close
contact
with
me
to
get
information,
as
it
was
very,
very
fluid
during
this
time,
and
the
Leavey
Center
in
Fleetwood
Germain
was
open
during
the
day
during
the
cold
snap
day,
one
they
saw
70
individuals
and
then
day
two
they
saw
a
hundred
and
ten.
So
it
was
a
really
a
community
support
and
again
many
many
families
came
in
from
out
of
the
cold.
G
F
G
C
You
autumn
and
Fleming,
thank
you
for
the
report.
I
would
like
to
thank
connections
and
interfaith
I
visited
them
several
times,
and
they
did
have
lots
of
staff,
their
staff
driving
their
personal
cars
and
getting
people
back
and
forth
so
just
to
clarify.
So
the
city's
contribution
I
mean
outside
of
some
coordination,
was
twelve
cots
correct.
G
C
G
It's
used
for
anytime,
there's
a
public
health
emergency
and
we're
allowed
to
buy
equipment
to
provide
training,
and
we
do
this
planning
and
tabletop
exercise
year-round
just
to
make
sure
that
we're
ready
to
respond
to
instances
like
this,
so
the
funding
does
allow
for
equipment.
Storage
supplies
that
we
may
need
during
an
emergency
yeah.
C
Great
yes,
the
community
was
great,
I,
saw
lots
of
people
helping
each
other
and
lots
of
people
concerned
about
particularly
those
outside
I
guess
I
would
like
to.
Hopefully
we
don't
have
any
more
extreme
weather,
but
I
would
like
to
just
encourage
us
as
a
city
to
really
think
about
how
we
can
support
these
agencies
more.
We
understand
you
know,
we
don't
have
a
city
run
shelter,
they
provide
all
of
the
shelter,
and
they
also
are
here
in
the
state
of
Illinois
our
social
service
agencies.
C
C
I
appreciate
you
doing
where
you
were
asked
in
terms
of
the
cots
and
the
coordination
of
services,
but
I
would
love
for
us
to
be
a
little
more
assertive
in
that
area
and
I,
don't
know
if
that's
a
financial
gift
or
how
we
can
just
better
support
these
two
agencies
that
are
really
taking
on
the
load
and
considering
that
they
usually
have
30
to
a
night
or
max
at
32,
and
they
have
57
I.
Think
you
said.
G
C
We
know
that
there
are
more
people
out
there
who
did
not
come
either
to
the
shelter
or
who
did
not
come
in
at
all.
I
know,
I
talked
to
the
outreach
team
and
they
were
concerned
about
some
folks
who
you
know
for
their
own
choice,
decided
not
to
come
in
absolutely
so.
I
am
I
am
growing
more
concerned
about
the
population,
people
who
we
are
not,
you
know
able
to
reach,
and
now
we
can
make
sure
we
serve
them
not
only
on
the
frigid
nights,
but
you
know
it's.
C
A
A
H,
h3
in
preparation
for
the
2019
budget
surveys
conducted
indicated
social
services
as
one
of
the
top
10
priorities
from
the
initial
staff
review.
It
was
determined
additional
data
was
needed
to
perform
a
comprehensive
review
along
with
identifying
the
appropriate
tool
used
for
the
evaluation.
This
update
shares
the
methodology
used
to
conduct
the
review
really
looking
forward
to
this
update.
Thank.
E
You
again
good
evening:
Kimberly
Richardson,
deputy
city
manager
and
what
you
see
before
you
is
the
plan
for
which
will
be
administering
the
review
of
our
social
services.
Our
Social
Services
was
asked.
The
staff
was
tasked
with
evaluating
the
following:
identifying
performance,
measurements,
review
program,
service,
delivery
and
review
resources
and
funding
allocations,
and
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
general
assistance
program.
E
Our
indicators
and
what
our
goal
is
is
not
to
just
look
at
those
three
deliverables
but
looking
at
the
impact,
and
how
are
we
reaching
our
those
who
are
and
most
need
I
think?
Ultimately,
we
kind
of
mentioned
that
earlier
about
making
sure
that
we're
reaching
those
that
we
typically
aren't
able
to
reach
in
this
process.
E
So
our
core
group
will
be
working
together
to
identify
who
our
partnership
will
be,
how
we
will
engage,
how
we
will
collect
data
as
well
as
communicating
this
to
our
community
members
to
have
them
participate,
I'm
using
a
tool
called
the
result,
based
accountability,
tool
with
a
racial
equity
lens,
and
that
we
that
process
came
to
me
as
we
were
discussing
racial
equity
or
at
least
equity
during
the
budget
process.
Looking
at
the
community
members
coming
up
in
voicing
their
concerns
as
well
as
this
discussion
that
dr.
E
Effingham
had
during
the
budget
discussion,
it
was
understood
that
this
was
a
conversation
that
you
all
would
wanted,
and
this
would
be
a
great
way
to
dovetail
into
that
discussion
and
so
using
both
of
those
tools.
We're
combining
them
to
make
this
one
be
a
kind
of
comprehensive
review.
There
was
opportunities
to
look
at
just
evaluating
departments,
but
that's
not
what
we're
trying
to
do
we're
trying
to
look
at
service
delivery,
we're
trying
to
look
at
resources.
We
want
to
make
sure
how,
where
are
we
doing?
How
are
we
doing?
E
I
E
Point
from
point
A
to
B
sorry,
so
it's
is
the
so.
The
idea
is
that
you're
asking
the
following
questions,
which
are
below
to
get
the
data
that
you
need
in
order
to
be
able
to
answer
the
question:
are
we
doing
the
job
effectively
and
so
looks
having
questions
which
I'm
referring
to
is
who
do
we
serve?
How
do
we
measure
if
the
person
or
individuals
are
better
off?
How
can
you
measure
the
quality
of
the
work
provided?
How
are
you
redoing
in
these
measures?
E
Qualitative
as
well
as
qualitative
and
the
qualitative
part,
is
really
where
you
get
the
root
cause
analysis.
It
was
where
the
racial
equity
conversation
occurs,
because
we
don't
really
have
that
conversation.
Typically
when
we're
looking
at
evaluations
and
so
understanding
how
we
got
here
in
the
common
in
the
community,
in
the
history
behind
Evanston
and
the
the
history
behind
the
programs
for
which
we
are
now
implementing.
We
have
to
have
those
conversation.
E
It's
not
always
data
driven,
it's
going
to
be
collecting
data
through
dialogue
and
that's
where
it's
important
to
talk
to
our
partners
and
it's
important
to
talk
to
our
community
members
and
as
well
as
those
participants
who
are
currently
and
active
in
the
program
or
impasse
been
active
in
a
program.
Thanks.
F
F
I
felt
like
this
budget
process
was
very
difficult,
not
only
because
we
were
trying
to
save
seven
million
dollars,
but
after
going
through
the
priority-based,
not
only
did
we
hear
from
the
community,
but
we
also
heard
from
the
individuals
that
we
served
I'm
looking
at
this
process
and
template
and
they're
important
pieces
that
I
received
from
the
public
that
are
not
a
part
of
this.
So.
F
From
a
bureau,
bureaucratic
top-down
I
understand
the
filter,
so
I
don't
want
to
dismiss
that.
But
what's
missing
is
in
the
big
problem
that
I
had
was
the
team
that
was
evaluating
this
whole
throughout
the
budget
and
I
felt
like
the
people
that
were
on
that
team
they
were
identified
to
me
had
no
clue
whatsoever
in
terms
of
specifically
looking
at
the
social
services
component.
So
my
first
question
to
you
is
who's
on
your
team.
That's
evaluating
these
areas,
good.
E
Question
and
so
looking
at
my
core
team
that
is
consisting
of
members
of
both
the
you
thing
and
the
dose
division
senior
services,
these
members
of
our
organization
that
are
actually
doing
the
work,
a
mixture
of
management
and
fronts
on
frontline
staff
as
well.
I've
asked
the
departments
who
are
participating
in
this
process
to
provide
me
two
to
three
individuals
that
they
can
have
be
a
part
of
the
core
team.
Now
I,
say
core
team
because
we're
the
ones
are
kind
of
curating
the
process.
E
To
get
to
your
point,
this
is
kind
of
bureaucratic,
but
there
has
to
be
something
that
we
are
following,
so
be
consistent
and
we're
being
transparent
and
I.
Think
the
one
thing
that
we
lost
there
was
a
budget
discussion,
it's
transparency
and
how
we
got
to
point
A
to
point
B,
and
so
you
dig
deeper
in
this
process
and
ask
the
question:
why
and
you
don't
ask
it
once
you
don't
ask
it
twice.
E
You
asked
it
several
times
to
get
to
some
of
the
issues
that
we
were
going
to
hopefully
be
able
to
resolve
to
this
process.
Now,
as
we
go
along
through
this,
it's
going
to
be
very
fluid
and
there
might
be
times
where
we
have
to
change
things
up,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
the
core
team
that's
around
me.
They
are
actively
doing
this
work.
E
It's
not
about
you,
know,
individuals,
it's
about
making
sure
we
are
serving
the
community
in
the
best
way
and
at
the
highest
capacity
possible
and
right
now
we
do
not
have
really
a
good
template.
How
to
follow
that
so
using
this
would
be
a
great
start,
as
we
were
looking
past,
just
not
social
services,
but
hopefully
other
programs
as
we
evaluate
them
and.
F
I
hear
that
and
I
just
want
to
remind
you
and
I'm
I
I'll,
just
speak
from
what
I
heard
I
didn't
hear
any
members
of
the
community
throughout
the
budget
process
critical
or
criticize
any
of
the
resources
they
or
attention
that
they
received
from
staff
so
somewhere
in
here,
I
feel
like
inherently
we're
trying
to
fix
a
problem
that
I'm
not
sure
that
we
have
but
again
I'm,
just
speaking
for
myself
and
the
residents
that
I
heard
that
came
forward.
So
that's
number
one.
F
The
second
thing
is
in
terms
of
the
team,
I
hope
the
next
time
that
you
report
in
front
of
this
committee.
We
know
the
names
who
they
are
in
the
departments
that
they
represent.
I'm
gonna,
be
very
critical
of
that.
So
I
just
share
that
to
you
and
city
manager
and
whoever
else
is
a
part
of
this
process.
That's
going
to
be
very
important.
F
F
The
process
will
fail
if
they
are
not
a
part
of
the
process
and
I'll
say
that
to
all
the
directors
who
deliver
the
services
that
there
is
an
expectation
that
they
are
a
part
of
this
process
and
I
hope,
I
guess
the
perspective
that
I
would
take
is
what
are
they
asking
for?
I
mean
what
are
they
asking
for
from
the
organization
to
be
more
successful
in
what
the
delivery,
but
that's
the
part
that
I
would
be
most
interested
in
and
I
hope
it's
some
way
shape
or
form
that
we
get
to
hear
from
them.
C
C
C
C
Think
again,
you
know
my
two
cents
is
coming
into
this
off
of
a
very
tough
budget
year,
where
you
might
have
management,
who
is
very
protective
of
their
program
because
they
work
hard
for
their
program.
I.
Think
that's
going
to
be
a
hard
balancing
act.
If
you
have
you
know
a
manager
from
each
department
in
this
group
because
again
and
they're
coming
off
of
a
budget
process
where
they
were
looking
at
losing
resources
or
losing
their
program.
So
it's
going
to
be
I
would
imagine
as
as
humans
hard
for
them
to
forget.
C
That
was
the
impetus
for
this,
but
I'm
thankful
that
our
staff
can
get
it
done.
I
think,
somewhere
in
here,
you
talked
about
having
some
community
members
and
I
think
at
some
point.
That
is
definitely
good
to
hear
you
know
from
some
of
the
general
assistance
recipients
or
our
seniors.
You
know
our
seniors
in
the
community
who
work
with
the
Ombudsman.
You
know
how
they're
receiving
the
services
I
think
I'ma
break
ways
right.
We,
you
know,
we
hear
maybe
a
complaint
in
here
or
there,
but
I
also
know
from
when
I
was
very
poor.
C
Sometimes
when
you're
poor,
you
don't
really
have
time
to
complain,
you're
just
getting
the
service
you
needed
and
moving
on
so
I
do
think.
Incorporating
those
voices
and
there's
gonna
be
very
important.
I
appreciate
that
you're
having
the
front
line
staff
and
not
just
the
management
analysts
who
are
going
to
give
you
numbers
because
then
we
do
I
think
get
back
to
that
point
of
just.
How
can
we
cut
dollars
or
how
can
we
cut
you
know
but
justify
cutting
staff,
which
is
unfortunately,
where
we
started
the
conversation
last
time?
C
So
I
appreciate
that
you
are
using
that,
because
I
think
we
still
are,
as
a
city
struggling
a
little
bit
to
understand
why
we
need
to
focus
on
racial
equity
and
not
gender
or
anything
else
and
I.
Think
when
we
get
to
the
data-
and
you
speak
to
the
staff-
and
you
start
to
hear
my
assumption
is
who
were
serving
and
who
were
not
serving.
You
might
find
how
race
impacts
there.
C
So
I
I
would
appreciate
as
autumn
Abreu
I
said
when
you
come
back,
that
we
have
a
better
idea
about
the
core
team
that
maybe
even
the
core
team
is
part
of
the
presentation
and
then
that
as
much
as
possible
that
you
and
the
city
manager
and
people
can
communicate
that
this
is
not
about
the
budget,
and
this
is
not
about
cutting
people.
This
is
about
providing
the
best
service.
C
We
obviously
know
we're
not
going
to
have
a
huge
windfall
of
money
so
providing
the
best
service
with
the
resources
we
have
and
making
sure
that
the
staff
you
know
to
the
best
that
we
can
feel
supported
and
honoring
braithwaite's
question
again
was
right
in
terms
of
what
did
the
staff
need
from
us
and
we
might
not
be
able
to
do
all
of
that.
But
what
do
the
staff
need
from
us?
The
one
thing
I
will
add
in
here
and
I:
don't
know
if
it's
something
that
will
come
up
later.
C
E
Speak
to
our
all
different
brave
face
mentioned
earlier,
so
the
core
team
is
made
up
of
individuals
who
are
helping
me
collect
the
data
to
do
the
work
prepare,
but
the
involvement
of
staff
is
throughout
the
entire
process.
There
will
be
identified
meetings
where
we
have
meetings
with
the
leadership
staff,
as
well
as
meetings
with
the
staff
that
are
doing
the
work.
E
You
know,
as
I
was
summing
up
in
the
memo
you
know
about
identifying
next
steps.
You
know
who
will
do
the
work
in?
How
do
you?
What
resources
do
you
need
are
questions
that
will
be
needed
to
be
answered,
but
we
have
to
first
know
where
we're
trying
to
accomplish,
and
you
can't
really
in
the
way
that
this
process
works.
E
You
start
with
the
the
result
and
work
your
way
to
the
mean,
and
so
until
we
understand
what
is
our
core
goal
for
all
of
our
programs,
they
were
able
to
dissect
and
get
into
the
resource
discussion
to
look
at
measures
to
how
do
we
hold
ourselves
accountable
and
to
ensure
that
the
community
members
that
we're
not
touching?
How
do
we
reach
or
access
them
as
well?
So
it's
this
process
is
being
very
much
condensed,
but
hopefully
it's
ongoing
in
that.
A
I'd
like
to
add
that
my
expectation
is
that
the
nonprofit
community
would
have
a
very
active
role,
or
at
least
response
to
whatever
the
findings
are
per
capita.
We
have
probably
more
than
the
average
City
and
it's
my
belief
during
our
budget
crisis-
that
the
nonprofit
community
could
have
taken
more
of
a
role
to
at
least
raise
their
hand
and
say
we
can
serve
more
in
this
space
or
what
is
the
need,
since
we
do
have
nonprofits
that
we
subsidize
with
you
know
that
are
very
well
funded.
A
So
could
you
tell
us
more
about
what
the
intention
is
and
the
partnership
is
with
the
nonprofit
community,
because
we're
not
a
social
service
agency,
we're
municipal
government
and
obviously
we
need
to
provide
some
services,
but
I
want
to
be
sure
that
we
don't
overlook
the
resources
that
are
in
the
community
from
folks
that
are,
practitioners
and
experts
in
that
space.
Understood.
E
And
it's
very
clear
that
we
have
really
great
partnerships:
I
mean
the
one
consistent
discussion
I've
had
over
the
course
of
the
last
few
months
is
that
we
have
partners
who
are
available
to
us
who
assist
in
ways
that
we
are
unable
to
do
so.
How
they
are
part
of
this
conversation
is
that
we
still
need
to
understand
how,
if
we're
looking
at
you
know
I'm
using
them
example,
but
the
mental
health
board.
How
are
we
utilizing
those
dollars?
Are
there
whether
they're
doing
with
those
dollars?
E
Are
there
mean
that
goes
that
we
are
looking
for
them
to
set
valuating
those
as
well,
because
we're
allocating
funds
as
well
as
providing
services?
So
it's
a
it's
broader.
It's
more
involved
in
you
know
what
I'm
saying
today
and
that's
why
I
need
to
have
the
members
of
the
court
who
are
doing
this
work
with
me,
because
they
will
know
the
right
questions
to
ask
and
what
data
to
look
for
that
I
would
not
be
directly
involved
in
to
look
look
at
so
that
will
be
something
as
we
are
putting
this
together.
A
I
Thank
You
Kimberly:
this
is
a
massive
undertaking.
I
hope,
you're
gonna
write
a
PhD
dissertation
at
the
end
of
it.
This.
E
I
That's
and
and
I
absolutely
agree
with
that,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
and
the
city
manager
for
coming
up
with
this
I've
I've
been
a
little
critical
in
the
past
and
especially
during
during
budget
season.
That
sometimes
I
feel
like
we
up
here
on
the
dais
are
flying
blind,
not
that
we
don't
have
the
information,
but
we
don't
have
all
the
information.
Is
it
that
we
haven't
asked
the
right
questions?
I
What
is
it
that
we're
excluding
people
who,
from
the
conversation,
what
what
is
it
and
I've
never
really
known
the
answer
to
that,
and
so
my
hope
is
that
through
this
process,
we're
going
to
learn
a
lot,
we're
going
to
learn
a
lot
about
Evanston
and
a
lot
about
who
it
is
we're
serving
and
not
serving,
and
why
so,
I'm
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
it.
I
wish
you
the
best
it's
it's.
This
is
a
big
deal
and
my
thanks
to
go
out
to
you
in
the
city
manager
for
coming
up
with
us.
It's
important.
F
Thank
you,
almonds,
and
so
I
guess
just
to
restate
my
concern.
The
three
areas
that
I
felt
and
again
I'm
interested
to
see
how
the
information
that
you
come
up
with
helps
us
to
go
through
a
better
project
process
and
the
reason
that
I
said
involve
staff
is
because
our
three
hot
buttons
that
I
remember
as
the
city
manager
wanting
to
reorganize
the
youth
and
young
adult
outreach
program.
F
H
Well,
one
of
the
questions
that
Kimberly
has
to
find
the
answer.
To
is
what
do
we
do
about
workforce
development?
We
have
some
really
strong
areas
and
there's
other
areas
we
don't
really
serve
at
all.
So
I
would
suspect
that
through
this
process,
we'll
come
back
with
recommendations
on
how
best
to
serve
all
Evanston
residents
in
the
area
of
our
course
development.
H
So
I
think
that
was
the
that
was
the
sort
of
the
hanging
piece
of
the
discussion
with
youth
in
an
adult
is
clearly
the
Council
of
community
says
that's
really
important,
but
I
came
back
to
the
council
and
said
yes,
but
that
we
still
need
to
look
at
what
are
we
doing
for
adults
beyond
that?
That
sort
of
25
year
range
that
the
adult
group
serves.
So
that's
part
of
Kimberly's
charge,
I.
Think.
Certainly,
partnerships
are
a
big
deal
with
that.
I
think
we
need
to
decide
I.
H
Think,
as
all
drew
Simmons
said,
these
are
all
great
programs
but
we're
ultimately
miss
Palladino
social
service
agency.
So
where
do
those
lines
go
dealing
with
a
workforce
development?
How
much
should
be
on
the
city
side?
How
much
should
be
on
our
partner
side,
so
I
would
suspect
Kimberly
and
stop
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
that'll
be
part
of
the
analysis
that
you
see.
H
F
And
I
can
definitely
support
that,
with
the
caveat,
the
sting
the
burn
and
the
angst
that
came
from
the
community,
obviously
because
the
appearance
was
from
top
down
and
to
make
sure
that
the
staff
that's
delivering
the
services
have
the
input.
So
that's
and
I
think
if
I
was
to
phrase
what
you're
saying
a
little
bit
differently,
our
staff
presides
a
grade.
The
staff
within
the
youth
and
young
adult
program
provide
great
services.
The
question
is:
how
do
you
expand
sure
I?
F
Guess
it's
just
the
way
that
I
would
state
it
and
then
the
other
areas
of
concern
that
I
have
obviously
is
the
Health
Department
and
my
concern
is:
are
you
looking
at
and
this
is
again
the
critical
question
we've
already
eliminated,
I
think
too
part-time
positions.
So
my
question
is
not
so
much
can
they
run
efficiently,
but
what
is
the
impact?
F
So
again,
are
we
looking
at
the
impacts
or
the
cuts,
or
are
we
trying
to
find
ways
to
cut
even
more
in
the
areas
that
we've
lost
and,
and
that's
the
part
that
I
just
I,
don't
want
to
play
games
with
this
and
when
you
come
back,
I
want
to
have
a
product
that
we
can
all
support
and
not
have
it
be
a
tool
to
slice
more
and
I'm.
Just
that's
me
and.
H
There
will
likely
still
be
questions.
I
think
that
the
Kimberley's
work
will
answer
a
lot
of
questions,
but
I
think
we'll
also
leave
questions
and
those
questions
will
be
policy
decisions
for
the
City
Council,
ultimately
to
decide,
I
think
kovanda,
the
Health
Department
lost
permanent
positions,
not
just
part-time
positions,
so
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
that.
We
want
to
continue
to
be
a
certified
health
department,
but
we're
also
fortunate,
as
a
vonda
said
so
eloquently
earlier.
You
know
this
is
all
about
partnerships.
H
We've
got
through
what
we
did
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks
with
partners.
We
need
to
continue
to
evaluate
the
roles
of
those
partners.
The
Mental
Health
Board
ultimately
receive
the
funding
that
was
requested.
So
the
cut
please
correct
me
is
someone
from
wrong,
but
at
the
end
there
was
no
country
mental
health
board.
So
you
know
we
need
to
balance
all
this
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
resources
we
have
youth
in
an
adult
we're
losing
a
key
staff.
Member
with
this
apportioned
Davis
is
moving
on.
H
So
we'll
have
to
look
and
see
how
best
to
deploy
that
resource
as
we
fill
that
position
moving
forward,
so
I
mean
a
lot
of.
This
has
also
kind
of
fluid.
So
you
know,
Kimberly's
charge
is
a
difficult
one,
she's,
the
number
three
person
in
the
city.
This
is
taking
away
time
from
other
projects,
an
initiative
she
could
be
working
on
largely
because
of
this
is
so
important
to
what
we
do
as
a
city.
H
C
Sorry
so
one
thing
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
as
Peter
said
because
I
know
anxiety
abounds
when
you
came
up
city
manager,
you
mentioned
you
know
what
about
workforce,
development
and
I.
Think
you
know
it's
a
great
thing
and
I
know
the
mayor
has
his
own
kind
of
workforce
development
operation
he
that's
going
now,
but
that
I
guess
for
me.
That
is
of
less
importance
because,
as
alderman
roux
Simmons
mentioned,
we
have
community
partners
who
do
that.
So
we
have
now
elevate
Evanston.
We
have
youth
job,
Center
I
know.
C
Just
last
week
I
sent
a
lady
over
who
was,
you
know
well
outside
of
the
25
year
old
range
and
the
youth
and
young
adult
division
work
with
her
and
found
her
employment,
so
I
assume
they're
working
with
you
know,
people
outside
of
that
range,
so
I
guess
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
clear.
This
is
not
all
about
doing
all
of
this
and
trying
to
figure
out
what
do
we
do
with
Workforce
Development?
This
is
a
well.
H
And
absolutely
and
I
think
one
of
the
members
of
the
council
mentioned
this
idea
of
you
know
how
do
people
find
these
services?
You
know
how
do
the
Civic
Center
and
is
not
employed
and
is
over
30
and
not
eligible
for
general
assistance?
What
happens
next?
You
know
we
don't
have
a
good
mechanism
to
say
either
it's
going
to
be
City
staff,
that's
going
to
provide
assistance,
other
nonprofits
in
the
community
that
provide
assistance,
so
I
think
there's
the
wraparound.
H
A
fact
of
all
of
us
is
that
how
do
we
make
sure
we're
serving
everyone
and
we
serve
them,
leveraging
our
own
city
resources,
leveraging
our
partners
resources
in
order
to
make
sure
people
get
what
they
need?
That's
what
this
is
all
about,
because
in
in
in
you
know,
budget
times
will
are
going
to
remain
difficult
into
the
future.
The
council's
clearly
said
that
these
ish
these
services
are
critically
important.
Our
job
is
your
staff
is
to
figure
out
how
to
do
it.
So
we
were
we're
here.
A
A
Just
so
that
as
I'm
pushing
in
committee
to
expand
and
work
on
economic
development
that
I'm
not
overlapping
efforts
that
are
happening
already,
I'm,
not
in
on
the
committee
and
I
haven't,
received
an
update.
So
that
would
be
helpful,
but
I
do
want
to
be
on
record
of
saying
that
Workforce
Development
absolutely
is
a
top
priority.
A
As
far
as
I'm
concerned
I
mean
the
the
wealth
gap
here
in
this
city
is
responsible,
for
you
know,
minority
people
leaving
and
segregation
and
much
of
what
our
problem
is-
is
directly
related
to
household
income,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
you
do
continue
to
pay
very
close
attention
to
that.
That
is
my
expectation.
Ottawa
Fisk,
just.
H
H
A
J
C
I'll
just
say
thing:
I
requested
these
them
before
the
holiday.
So
so
thank
you
very
much
for
reducing
them.
There's
not
really
discussion.
I
probably
will
bring
them
back
later,
but
I
I
know
that
I
hear
and
I
see
how
our
city
is
changing.
I
hear
from
older
people
who
talk
about
you
know
not
being
out
for
stuff
so
on
and
so
on,
and
so
I
was
really
interested
to
see.
C
Really
what
that
looked
like,
and
the
numbers
and
I
see
mark
sent
out
a
separate
graph,
I
guess
the
whole
committee
got
it,
but
they
talked
about
the
median
income
by
race
and,
as
he
pointed
out,
he
was
surprised
to
see,
or
he
saw
that
the
african-american
population
was
the
only
one
where
the
medium
household
income
actually
went
down
between
2010
and
2017,
going
towards
what
autumn
Andrew
simmons
talked
about
a
few
seconds
ago.
We
see
that
the
language
non-english
speakers
has
increased
and
then
there
are
certain
census
tracts
on
page
38.
C
That
I
found
very
interesting
where
the
medium
family
income
has
doubled,
particularly
right
in
the
middle
of
our
city.
So
just
you
know,
as
I'm
doing
things
in
here
from
people
I
wanted
to
just
have
the
numbers
in
front
of
me,
but
I
think
it's.
You
know.
We
all
see
the
changes
that
are
happening.
Our
city
so
I
think
it's
just
good
to
have
this
information
in
front
of
us.
So
thank
you.
A
J
It's
not
even
a
manual
you
just
you
know
you
get
the
number
reported
at
one
level
and
it
just
doesn't
match
the
ward
boundaries
you
can't
like
slice
and
dice
it.
Some
of
the
thing
that's
to
the
block-level.
Yes,
we
can
do
that
most
of
the
things
you're
interested
in
the
economic,
social,
demographics.
They
do
them
at
a
higher
level.
I.
A
Thank
You
Ottoman
Fleming
for
requesting
this
tool
I
certainly
will
be
using
it
to
fight
that.
We
use
our
city
services
and
resources
and
budgeting
accordingly,
as
well
as
I'm,
pushing
staff
to
work
harder
to
find
resources
outside
of
city
government
to
support
our
community.
So
I
know
that,
for
example,
we
didn't
qualify
for
Opportunity
Zones,
but
I
understand
there
may
be
some
opportunities
to
push
harder
and
and
work
more
to
get
federal
funds.
A
So
anyone
that's
not
looking
at
this
packet,
giving
you
an
example
of
an
average
income
and
since
this
track,
8:09
to
of
33,000
7
versus,
for
example,
census
tract
8090
has
an
average
income
of
eighty
two
thousand
seven.
So
this
is
something
that
I'm
hoping
is
heavily
weighed
as
we're
going
over
our
social
service
plan
as
well.
Thank
you
and.
A
C
If
you
look
at
eighty
ninety
two
for
the
language,
there
has
been
an
increase
from
fifteen
percent,
the
language
outside
of
English
15
percent
to
thirty
five
percent.
So
you
think
about
a
family
who
is
a
lower-income
family
who
also
doesn't
speak,
maybe
English
as
their
first
language,
which
in
our
we
have
the
city,
maybe
not
removing
some
barriers
for
those
families.
I
J
We
discovered
that
over
the
years
when
you're,
looking
at
some
of
the
poverty,
stuff,
Sara,
flex
and
I
have
looked
at
this
and
you
can
tell
it
kinda
sorry
excuse
skewing
things
because
they
don't
have
income
there
right.
You
know
their
parents
might,
but
they
don't
and
it
decay
does
kind
of
mess
with
the
numbers
right.
A
A
K
K
The
Commission
has
agreed
that
we
need
to
lead
with
a
racial
equity
framework
and
while
that
may
seem
obvious
to
some
I
think
it
took
a
lot
of
intentionality
and
some
learning
and
sharing
for
us
to
realize
why
we
need
to
lead
with
the
racial
equity
analysis,
and
so
we've
met
that
that
very
critical
component
of
having
agreement
there.
We
actually,
as
a
commission,
completed
an
equity
training.
We
participate
in
a
half-day
training
thanks
to
Eileen
Hyneman
and
Tiffany
McDowell
at
the
YMCA,
for
facilitating
that
training.
K
Part
of
developing
this
work
plan
and
creating
a
process
is
that
we
have
a
shared
language.
That's
also
key
to
this
work
that
we
all
need
to
be
on
the
same
page
as
you
can
imagine,
it's
probably
very
reflective
of
the
council.
Here
we
were
on
different
levels
of
the
continuum
of
understanding
what
racial
equity
meant
and
for
us
it
was
critical
that
we
all
actually
start
from
the
same
page
and
so
getting
that
ache
that
racial
equity
trading
was
really
critical.
That
was
provided
in
early
December.
K
We've
adopted
key
equity
concepts
that
will
guide
and
shape
the
development
of
our
framework.
Very
similar
again
to
the
gear
concepts.
We
really
believe
that
having
shared
language
is
critical,
so
we
have
gone
through
that
process
and
we
just
developed
a
community
engagement
policy
tool
that
now
has
been
handed
back
to
the
staff
for
final
review,
and
so
again
we
just
wanted
to
introduce
to
you
this
framework
that
we've
developed,
because
we
want
to
believe
we
want
to
have
your
support
in
this
process.
K
L
Next
is
we
will
be
developing
and
recommending
to
this
committee
I
think
it
comes
through
this
committee
and
then
to
the
City
Council
an
equity
framework,
and
we
will
be
learning
from
deputy
city
manager.
Richardson's
work
with
the
social
services
review
that
she's
going
to
do
and
try
to
align
what
she
is
doing.
What
she's
learning
with
what
we
hope
to
do.
L
Assuming
that
you
have
I,
don't
know
if
you
met
last
week,
I
think
there
was
on
an
agenda
to
do
City,
Council
goals
and
the
Commission
was
really
hoping
that
equity
would
again
be
one
of
your
city
council
goals.
Somebody
confirmed
for
me
that
it
is
and
were
you
you
weren't
able
to
yeah.
This
is
tough
week
last
week,
so
we're
going
to
put
the
plug
in
then
for
the
city
council
to
adopt
as
one
of
its
goals
certainly
equity,
and
we
would
support
your
work
with
that
as
well.
So
any
questions.
L
Those
were
the
equity
concepts
that
we
adopted
our
last
meeting
but
turns
out
we're
going
to
revisit
them
at
our
next
meeting.
So
I,
don't
think
they're
ready
for
you
to
take
a
look
at,
but
it's
really
essentially
our
terminology.
The
basic
language
are
our
base
language
that
we
all
want
to
understand
is
as
as
kind
of
from
which
we
will
be
doing
the
equity
framework.
L
L
K
Sure
well,
I
would
say
the
development
of
this
work
plan
probably
has
taken
us
a
few
months,
but
I
think
it
was
really
trying
to
find
a
framework
and
some
best
practices
that
we
could
really
lift
up
to
give
us
some
guidance
and
to
develop
a
roadmap,
because
I
think
we
all
share
the
the
values
of
creating
a
framework.
But
there
really
wasn't
a
road
map.
We
had
to
develop
our
own
road
map
and
so
I
think
we
spent
the
first
couple
of
months
getting
to
know
one
another
understanding.
K
The
purpose
of
our
Commission
understanding,
the
context
of
working
within
the
city,
government
and
the
city.
Just
in
a
municipal
concept,
so
I
would
say
probably
the
first
three
months.
It
was
kind
of
understanding
our
context,
understanding
our
purpose,
understanding
the
process
and
then
trying
to
find
some
best
practices
and
developing
a
work
plan
and.
L
As
Alejandra
said
earlier,
I
think
one
of
the
highlights
has
been
getting
to
know
each
other
and
to
put
ourselves
at
least
try
to
in
the
same
footing
and
understanding
how
we
can
have
these
conversations
that,
as
you
know,
aren't
always
easy
and
and
have
a
common
understanding
of
everything
from
the
terminology
to
what
our
goals
and
mission
are.
It's
a
it's.
A
really
good
group
of
people.
L
A
C
Fleming,
thank
you
for
this
update.
Obviously,
we
can't
go
to
a
lot
of
every
Commission
meeting,
so
it's
good
to
hear
what
you
all
are
doing.
I
guess
not
necessarily
for
the
Commission
members,
but
in
general
I
think
I
still
have
a
couple
concerns
about
this
about
the
city's
commitment
to
racial
equity.
It
would
be
great
and
I
know
we
have
some
challenges
in
terms
of
having
how
many
people
we
can
have
in
the
room,
but
it
would
be
great
if
the
City
Council
was
offered
some
opportunities
to
do
some
training
to
understand.
C
You
know
what
racial
equity
is
and
how
our
decision-making
impacts.
That
I
think
that
we
had
one
very
early
on
that
was
not
satisfactory
to
me
and
I.
Think
if
we
are
going
to
be
charging
staff
and
have
a
commission
that
brings
for
it
recommendations
we
as
a
city
council,
you
know
we
should
make
sure
everyone
understands
why
that's
important
and
when
we
look
at
these
maps
it
they
tell
us
some
things,
but
you
know
if
we're
going
to
be
moving
forward
in
this
direction.
C
I
think
it's
important
that
we
as
City
Council,
you
know,
have
a
commitment,
because
we
understand
what
it
is.
I
think.
My
other
concern
here
is
I
appreciate
that
you
all
talked
about
looking
at
some
things
that
the
commissioners
are
interested
in
the
camp
and
the
environmental
justice,
but
I
guess
that,
like
a
better
understanding
at
some
point
as
to
who
and
how
you're
determining
what
practices
or
policies
you
are
looking
at.
C
So
when
I
think
about
the
city
looking
at
racial
equity,
that's
what
I
think
about
I
think
about
us
looking
at
our
policies
and
our
procedures
and
how
they
are
not
impacting
people
and
and
then
can
contribute
to
a
ratio,
income
gap-
or
you
know
whatever
that
might
be,
and
so
I
would
really
like
to
hear
more
later
about
how
you
guys
are
determining
those
things
because
they're
they're,
obviously
nine
of
us
and
we
have
different
opinions
about
things.
And
then
you
have.
