In

any

Thank
You
items
for
consideration.
First,
our
Police
Complaints
this
commander
Davis
here
I'm.
Sorry,
commander
Dave's,
you
don't
mind
we'll
do
citizen
comments.
First,
it's
been
a
while
since
I
charity
committee,
so
excuse
my
my
lapse.
We
have
two
on
our
list
for
tonight.
Welcome
and
thank
you
for
coming.
Nancy
Schwartz.
Please
join
us
and
at
the
podium
introduce
yourself.
A
C
A
C
Have
lupus
an
autoimmune
illness
and
am
highly
allergic
to
bee
stings.
Why
is
this
important?
My
next-door
neighbor
has
installed
a
beehive
in
his
backyard.
It
was
done
without
my
having
any
prior
knowledge
that
this
was
happening
with
properties
being
so
close
to
each
other.
His
yard
is
essentially
my
yard,
only
separated
by
a
fence.
There
is
very
little
distance
from
the
Beehive
to
my
yard,
spitting
distance
as
they
say,
as
the
Beehive
was
being
installed.
I
expressed
my
shock,
dismay
and
alarm
explaining
my
severe
life-threatening
allergic
reaction
to
a
bee.
C
C
Well,
his
bees
do
come
into
my
yard
and
get
a
daily
drink
from
our
bird
bath.
After
all,
there
are
no
barriers
between
our
properties
and
his
guard
is
my
yard.
In
this
urban
area
we
tried
many
conversations
and
even
a
mediation
attempt,
but
to
no
avail.
I
even
suggested
working
with
the
ecology
center,
possibly
starting
a
program
to
educate
the
community,
about
bees,
etc,
but
to
no
avail.
He
is
adamant
in
his
stance
to
have
a
beehive
in
his
yard
for
his
garden
and
to
help
the
ecological
balance
of
nature.
C
I
do
understand
and
I
do
agree
with
the
need
for
the
ecological
balance,
but
just
not
with
the
Beehive
literally
in
my
backyard.
He
is
in
compliance
with
the
code,
but
at
what
price?
The
result
of
the
mediate
mediation
attempt
was
the
suggestion
that,
when
going
into
my
backyard,
I
should
wear
a
bee
suit,
hat
mesh
netting,
long,
gloves,
etc.
The
second
suggestion
was
that
I
just
go
into
my
backyard
after
dusk.
Really
I
have
not
been
in
my
yard.
Since
june,
when
the
bee
hive
was
installed.
C
Having
lupus
increases,
the
severity
of
the
allergic
reaction
increases
the
threat
of
anaphylactic
shock,
seizures
and
death.
This
is
a
medical
issue,
a
life-and-death
concern,
as
I
have
learned
from
the
doctor
and
pharmacist
when
I
got
my
EpiPen
once
you
have
been
stung,
each
subsequent
sting
becomes
increasingly
more
dangerous
since
the
bee,
venom
remains
in
your
body
and
builds
up
in
intensity
with
future
stings
lupus
also
heightens
and
increases
the
severity
of
the
allergic
reaction,
and
then
it
becomes
simply
a
life-and-death
concern.
The
next
time
could
be
fatal.
C
An
EpiPen
is
only
a
momentary
attempt
to
forestall
the
impending
onset
of
anaphylactic
shock
and
possible
death
seconds
count
and
for
me,
911
called
immediately.
Yes,
there
are
birds,
butterflies
bees
in
all
of
our
yards,
but
a
beehive
next
to
my
yard
is
tempting
fate,
increasing
the
possibility
and
likelihood
of
something
happening.
There
are
20
to
80
thousand
bees
in
a
hive
20
to
80
thousand
bees
in
a
hive.
You
cannot
control
their
flight
and
it
only
takes
one
be
one.
C
Sting
I
have
lost
the
use
of
my
backyard
due
to
extreme
anxiety
and
concern
of
a
fatal
consequence
or,
at
the
very
least,
severe
illness.
It
has
been
brought
to
my
attention
in
talking
with
property
tax
representatives
that
the
beehive
in
my
neighbor's
yard,
could
devalue
my
property
and
make
it
far
more
difficult
to
sell
due
to
concerns
for
safety.
Quite
frankly,
I
am
shocked
and
appalled
that
the
evanston
code
allows
beehives
when
properties
are
in
such
close
proximity.
I'm
asking
for
the
code
to
be
changed.
C
It
should
be
required
when
considering
the
installation
of
a
beehive,
that
all
immediate
neighbors
on
all
sides
be
informed
and
a
signature
required
if
someone
is
opposed.
The
acceptance
is
thus
not
unanimous
and
should
be
addressed.
This
is
a
medical
issue,
life
and
death
and
not
to
be
entered
into
without
full
consent
of
all
neighbors.
There
should
be
a
minimum
number
of
feet
required
from
one
yard
to
another,
where
the
Beehive
would
be
located
to
assure
that
there
is
no
threat
to
anyone,
and
especially
anyone
with
an
allergic
reaction.
C
A
D
Madeline
decree
how's
everyone.
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment
on
the
person
that
just
mentioned
something
about
bees.
There's
bees
located
in,
and
I
forgot
the
calm
alderman
right
behind
my
house
and
they're
just
swarming
it's
on
private
property,
but
they
are
swarming.
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
like
a
takeover
with
the
skunk's
or
raccoons
or
what.
But
the
bees
are
here
now
so
and
air
they're
deadly.
Believe
me,
my
son
had
a
reaction
to
loss
and
then
bees-
and
he
just
he
didn't
get
any
way.
D
D
Displayed
such
a
foul
unprofessional
behavior
to
a
young
man
by
stopping
him
Fisk
in
him
and
searching
him
and
public
view
and
violated
this
young
man's
rights.
In
my
opinion,
I
still
say
it
was
molestation.
I
need
I.
Ask
that
the
Human
Services
Committee
check
on
this
okay.
I
can
write
my
letters
to
the
sheriff's
department,
but
this
is
the
Human
Services
Committee
and
they
need
to
you
all
need
to
check
it
out,
because
it's
violating
somebody
writes
human
okay,
Human
Rights
is
being
violated
here
now.
D
Let
me
just
say
this
and
we'll
put
this
paper
aside.
If
I
also
heard
that
some
people
were
arrested,
stop
frisk
whatever
and
had
drugs
on
him
a
good
if
it
was
unlawful
and
it
had
probable
cause
law
enforcement.
Do
what
you
have
to
do.
Okay,
I
have
no
problem
with
that,
but
when
something
is
unfair,
when
our
rights
are
violated
because
it
can
be
any
one
of
you
and
your
children
all
right,
not
right,
we
need
to
check
it
now.
Is
there
policemen
being
shot
and
I
agree
with
that
heck?
D
No
half
black
half
white
so
understand
I,
don't
give
a
hit.
What
color
they
are,
it
is
wrong,
but
but
we
have
to
watch.
We
have
to
change
the
policies
of
the
police
department
in
order
to
be
fair
here:
okay
change,
the
policy
I,
don't
know
who
they
think
or
anyone
think
that
anything
going
to
get
done
without
going
up
and
changing
the
policy
lawmakers.
We
have
to
call
our
legislators
and
see
that
something
is
done
to
change
those
laws
so
that
we
can
start
getting
on
about
the
business.
D
Some
of
these
children
are
out
here
and
I
know
doggone
well,
some
of
them
rights
have
been
violated
that
is
kind
of
stuff,
with
a
young
person
being
violated
touching
okay,
that's
that's
not
helping
us,
that's
not
helping
us!
It
is
not
think
about
it
if
you're
the
mother
heck
with
the
mother,
if
you
apparent
the
father-
and
you
learn
something
like
this-
and
if
I'm
wrong
I'll
come
back
up
here
and
apologize,
okay,
I,
don't
think
so
and
another
thing
I
would
like
to
touch
on
and
I'm
running
out
of
time.
D
D
Don't
talk
politics
around
here,
but
nobody's
going
to
put
me
in
a
box
whether
it's
democrat
or
republican,
but
if
the
man
is
on
or
something
I
might
think,
but
another
thing
which
I
have
to
say
before
I
leave
this
podium.
It
reminds
me
of
you
can
take
it
either
way
because
years
ago
and
I
mean
years
ago.
The
cake
cake
cake
came
about
on
this
kind
of
rhetoric,
okay
and
it
went
the
wrong
way.
D
A
E
B
E
People
stopped
on
a
bike
for
not
having
lights,
not
having
their
bikes
properly
illuminated
they
were
stopped,
the
police
encounter
them.
Ask
them
regular
questions,
one
of
which.
Why
are
you
out
so
late,
because
I
think
was
one
was
in
fact
a
juvenile
and
I
do
know
that
you
have
a
list
of
lists
of
things
that
were
said
during
that
stop
yeah.
E
And
I'm
kind
of
glad
you
went
in
this
direction
because
this
was
something
I
wanted
to
bring
up
tonight,
we're
being
bombarded
with
a
lot
of
complaints.
That
simply,
are
there
simply
false
they're,
not
a
variation
of
the
truth,
they're
simply
false
this
complaint,
as
well
as
some
of
the
others,
and
even
the
one,
the
most
recent
one,
which
is
kind
of
in
the
news
and
made
a
a
big
appearance
with
evanston
with
one
of
our
new
establishments
in
the
city
of
Evanston.
E
The
bottom
line
is
the
things
that
were
mentioned
in
this
complained
that
the
you
say
it
happened.
They
simply
did
not
happen
so
I'm
glad
you
bought
this
up
because
I
wanted.
I
just
wanted
to
the
console
to
be
aware
that
we
are
being
bombarded
with
a
lot
of
complaints
that
simply
are
not
true.
Now
we
do
take
these
complaints
seriously.
We
don't
just
brush
them
off,
which
is
why
they
appear
before
you,
as
well
as
the
other
three
committees
that
review
these
complaints.
E
The
quaint
are
still
investigated,
still
taken
seriously
and
just
proven
to
be
false.
This
falls
into
that
category
of
what
the
young
gentleman
alleged.
This
was
one
of
those
things
that
had
no
reason
to
go
in
the
direction
that
it
went
into.
This
is
a
simple
stop
at
night:
hey
guys,
you
don't
have
any
bite
any
lights
on
your
bikes,
simple
questions.
Who
are
you?
Why
are
you
in
the
area?
Is
this
your
bike?
E
One
complied
as
you
see
that
one
was
released
at
the
same,
the
other
one
took
it
in
different
direction
and
it
was
subsequently
bought
in
this
grandmother
had
to
pick
them
up,
but
all
of
the
list
of
allegations
that
you
have
in
your
packet
there
that
he
alleged
this
happened,
and
this
happening
simply
did
not
happen.
Thank.
F
E
Were
not
videotape
and
you're
you're
right?
This
is
just
word
of
mouth
the
officers,
a
response
as
compared
to
what
the
you
said
happen,
but
as
we
look
at
the
the
cad
we
take,
we
take
in
the
what
we
have.
We
take
what
we
have
to
investigate
the
incident.
How
long
were
the
officers
on
the
stop?
Who
else
responded
will
get
the
response
from
any
witnesses
the
other
youth
that
was
bought
in
as
well?
Everyone
was
spoken
to
to
find
out
if
any
of
this
did
in
fact
occur.
E
F
In
the
reason
why
I
asked
that,
because
I
think
one
of
them
also,
I
can't
remember
which
number
had
an
example
where
the
offices
mic
wasn't
working
and
he
borrowed
another
one
when
the
other
officer
drove
up
which
to
me
is,
is
just
really
good.
It's
common
sense,
because
if
we
had
these
cameras
in
the
cars,
why
are
we
not
using
them
so
that
then
we
wouldn't
have
to
worry
about
a
word
of
mouth,
because
we
have
the
proof
I
mean
you
can
show
what
happened
and
what
didn't
happen.
E
Wouldn't
even
say
that
the
one
that
the
alderman
is
referring
to
as
di
1506
di
1506
and
that
one
involved,
an
elderly
lady
who,
when
she
made
the
complaint,
this
was
maybe
three
weeks
later
and
I
guess
it
had
time
to
fester
and
she
was
really
upset
because
she
going
to
miss
a
doctor's
appointment,
which
is
why
my
first
order
of
business
was.
Let
me
just
reschedule
your
court
appointment
so
now.
That's
not
something
you
need
to
worry
about,
but
she
was
totally
frustrated
and
I
spent
a
lot
of
time.
E
Talking
to
her
myself,
however,
when
I
viewed
the
video
and
seeing
what
exactly
happened
and
the
officer
went
to
great
lengths
to
make
sure,
let
me
get
this
video
tape.
Let
me
get
another
officer
with
a
microphone.
He
went
to
great
lengths
to
make
sure
that
this
encounter
was
video
tape,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
she
was
frustrated
and
in
heated
moment,
and
she
called
our
office
with
a
line
of
things
that
had
occurred.
E
F
And
that
was
that's
my
whole
point
in
terms
of
this
because
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
complaints.
I
get
calls
all
the
time
and
go
ahead
and
complain
if
you
want
to
complain,
but
I
really
am
it
works
two
ways
now,
of
course
the
people
who
make
in
the
complaint
then
have
to
rethink,
and
we
look
at
where
they
are
so
it
it
just
puzzles
me
is
why
we're
not
using
the
technology
that
we
that
we
do
have
and
I
know
that
every
every
car
doesn't
have.
F
E
So
we
do
use
our
equipment
when
feasibly,
when
it's
possible-
and
we
have
it
available
to
us
I-
think
what
we're
witnessing
now
is
just
the
communities
I,
don't
want
to
call
it
heightened
awareness,
but
their
height
and
frustration
with
law
enforcement
in
general,
and
they
perceive
every
encounter
to
be
an
encounter
where
they
need
to
immediately
jump
to
the
defense,
and
that
does
escalate
a
situation
to
a
point
that
it
just
does
not
need
to
go
when
they
come
in
to
complain.
I
would
like
to
think
that
they're
not
blatantly
lying.
E
They
sometimes
will
just
apologize
and
go
away
or
they'll
just
hold
their
stance
and
just
leave
the
office.
You
know
still
frustrated
but
that's
beginning
to
happen
on
a
greater
scale.
Now,
where
we're
getting
complaints,
where
people
are
just
blatantly
not
telling
the
truth
or
they're
just
come
to
the
party
defensively
right,
you
have
another
one
in
your
packet
about
the
police
officer
being
parked
in
her
driveway.
As
he's
responding
to
a
call
and
there's
always
a
back
story.
E
E
We
have
two
things
going
on
in
that
particular
area,
not
only
the
parking,
but
the
incident
that
we
were
responding
to,
which
is
the
illegal
activity
that
goes
on
in
that
area.
So
we're
responding
to
that
area,
responding
to
a
complaint,
that's
ongoing
and
when
we
get
there,
someone
complains
about
us
parking
in
their
driveway
gets
into
a
full
confrontation
with
the
police.
E
They
just
came
to
the
party
defensively.
You
would
think
you'd
be
delighted
to
see
the
police
officer
in
your
area,
especially
when
you
have
an
ongoing
problem,
but
that
just
doesn't
seem
to
be
the
case
anymore.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
this
council
is
aware.
When
you
see
these
complaints,
we
investigate
everything
thoroughly.
A
Davis
I
gotta
ask
then
it's
it's
pretty
obvious
to
all
of
us
that
our
Police
Department
takes
every
complaint
very
seriously
and
investigates
everyone
with
real
sincerity.
Do
you
ever
our
resonance
the
complainants,
our
residents
ever
surprised
at
the
at
the
the
matter-of-fact
way
in
which
you
handle
their
complaints
and
the
sincerity
with
which
you
pursue
them
and
investigate
them?
I
think.
E
They're
surprised
they
come
in.
Sometimes
the
incident
happens
at
night
and
they're
there
on
10
and
they
talk
to
the
night
supervisor.
I
think
they're
surprised
when
okay
yep
your
complaint
is
followed
up.
I
am
going
to
be
calling
you
in
the
morning
twice
and
going
to
call
you
at
work,
I'm
going
to
keep
calling
you
until
I
get
in
touch
with
you,
so
I
think
they
are
surprised
that
they
do
receive
such
a
prompt
response
and.
A
It
also
seems
pretty
clear
from
the
big
stack
of
accommodations
and
compliments
in
today's
packet
that
you
have
a
full
service
police
department.
You
know
the
the
kind
of
services
that
our
police
officers
are
performing,
go
well
beyond
anything
that
I
think
most
residents.
Imagine
the
kind
of
things
that
were
that
you're
getting
thanked.
For.
I
know
we
really
pretty.
E
Amazing
yeah,
you
probably
don't
even
realize
some
of
the
things
we
do
that
you
would.
You
wouldn't
even
think
a
police
department
would
be
involved
in
this
type
of
activity,
but
Everson
police
Everson
in
general
is
good
with
that
type
of
stuff
when
it
comes
to
services
to
the
community
outreach
project
to
the
community.
We
are
rich
in
that
area,
and
people
probably
have
no
idea
that
we
even
are
involves
ourselves
with
coffee
with
a
cop
or
something
like
that.
A.
F
B
E
E
I
would
always
tell
them
check
the
website,
so
you'll
know
because
they
do
know
their
case
number,
the
DI,
the
CR,
so
it's
included
in
the
packet
that's
on
the
website,
so
if
they
check
the
website,
they
can
look
and
see
where
their
number
falls.
However,
when
there's
something
particular
that
I
know,
someone
wants
to
be
here
to
hear
about
I
keep
in
touch
with
them,
because
they're
normally
they're
continually
calling
me
am,
I
up.
Am
I
up
so
when
we
meet
regularly.
E

E
A
Thank
You
commander
Davis
next
on
the
agenda,
I'll
move
resolution
89
our
15
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
enter
into
an
eight
month
lease
agreement
for
the
Noyes
Street
Theater,
the
noise
cultural
arts
center.
B
A
H
A
I
You
so
much
madam
chair,
I.
Last
time,
I
came
I
actually
said
in
the
audience,
because
I
believe
you
all
wanted
a
report
when
you
all
notice
that
the
fun
was
moving
from
one
category
to
the
affordable
housing.
So
I
had
spoken
with
the
couple
of
aldermen
regarding
that
and
I
wanted
to
come
tonight
and
just
give
a
report
on
the
handyman.
So
you
know
where
we
stand
so
right
now
we
have
over
1500
seniors
who
are
eligible
for
the
handyman
program,
so
I
actually
looked
at
the
statistics.
I
For
those
of
you
all
who
are
here
tonight
and
your
Ward's
really
represent
the
largest
numbers
other
than
alderman
raining.
So
you
know
bright
way.
You
have
262
and
then
ottoman
homes
you
have
326
altima
Miller.
You
have
173,
so
yours
are
very
high
numbers
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
able
to
serve
each
of
our
seniors
in
the
most
effective
and
appropriate
ways.
So
for
the
last
year,
we've
really
looked
at
the
handyman
program
and
all
of
the
requests
that
have
been
made
and
we
want
to
be
really
transparent.
I
Looking
over
the
past
year,
we
do
notice
that
we
have
some
seniors
who
use
the
program
over
and
over
and
over
and
over
again,
and
then
there
others
who
use
it
once
or
twice.
So
what
we're
worried
about
is
that
you
know
at
some
point
we
could
run
out
of
money
for
the
person
who's
used
at
19
times
in
a
year
and
the
person
who's
only
used
it
once
so.
I
I
Just
to
give
you
how
many
we've
had
107
request
that
we've
completed
since
January,
so
that
we
don't
have
a
waiting
list
anymore,
a
senior
and
that's
you
know
a
double-edged
sword
and
I
mean
that,
because
sometimes
Sam
will
go
out
and
Sam
as
our
handyman
Sam
Goss
he'll
go
out
in
a
couple
of
days.
So
then
they
kind
of
get
into
the
the
notion
that
hey
when
I
call
he'll
be
out
tomorrow,
the
next
a
so
I'm.
I
At
one
point
we
did
have
a
six
to
eight-week
waiting
list,
and
so
we
always
tell
them
that
it
could
be.
It
should
never
be
longer
than
two
weeks
and
if
there's
ever
laps
that
they
need
to
call
me
immediately,
I
always
call
Sam.
He
goes
out
immediately,
so
we
don't
have
the
waiting
list
that
we
had
a
couple
of
years
ago.
I.
F
I
You
know,
and
we
really
want
to
do
repairs
that
keep
a
senior
in
their
homes
longer
and
not
just
you
know,
light
bulbs,
you
know
something
that
may
be
a
senior
could
get
the
neighbor
to
do
for
a
church
member,
some
someone
we
want
to
really
go
out
and
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
do
repairs
that
you
know
are
functional.
You
know
they
make
them.
I
You
know
able
to
stay
in
their
home
longer
and
so
we're
looking
at
all
of
these-
and
we've
really
just
you
know,
said
let
let's
see
what
happens
for
a
year
and
that's
why
we've
looked
at
that
I
had
an
intern
last
year
who
actually
called
handyman.
We
did
a
survey
and
he
called
seniors
and
you'd
be
surprised
that,
even
though
they
have
you
know
a
senior
who's
used
in
nineteen
times,
there
are
still
items
on
the
list
now
that
are
not
on
the
list.
F
I
No
ma'am
and
and
that's
what
and
again
initially
a
few
years
ago,
that
could
be
three
different
visits.
Okay,
what's
really
good
about
Sam
is,
if
he's
there
for
15
minutes,
he
charges
for
15
minutes
and
many
of
the
contracts
that
we
looked
at
before
the
proposals.
You
know
it
was
to
our
minimum
and
it
wasn't
the
price
that
that
he
charges
he's
only
charging
as
thirty
dollars
an
hour
and
so
that's
really
really
low
for
a
handyman.
So
he,
if
he's
there
30
minutes
it's
fifteen
dollars
and
that's
it
mm-hmm.
Okay,
alderman.
B
I
Because
if
you
qualify
for
the
handyman
program,
you
qualify
for
everything
else,
so
they
could
call
us
where
they're
8
30
to
five
monday
through
friday
to
do
an
application,
and
it's
pretty
simple
as
that-
and
you
can
do
it
over
phone.
Yes,
sir,
so
they
call
over
the
phone
we
put
in
the
and
then
Sam
calls
and
schedules
a
mutually
convenient
time
for
him
in
the
senior.
So
we
don't
actually
make
the
call
to
schedule,
because
we
all
want
to
be
the
middle
person.
I
H
I
think
you
actually
answered
my
question,
but
it
was
regarding
I.
Didn't
you
when
you
said
the
new
nuit
limit
would
be
talking
two
hundred
fifty
dollars
at
thirty
dollars
an
hour.
So
that's
roughly
eight
hours
of
work,
but
the
fact
you
can
break
it
into
smaller
air
comments.
I
think
makes
it
more
certainly
goes
a
longer
way
for
people
who
don't
have
large
jobs
all
once
so
absolutely.
I
And
when
you're
looking
at
a
gutter
cleaning,
there
are
no
supplies
associated
with
that
just
this
time.
So
you
know
he's
really
fair.
I
have
to
say
that
and
I
look
at
all
the
reports.
The
problem
is
sometimes
it
gets
to
be
more
money,
because
once
you
get
into
a
job,
maybe
you
don't
know,
and
we
don't
want
to
leave
a
person's.
You
know
faucet
or
something
exposed,
so
we
complete
the
job.
I
So
we
haven't
held
to
the
guideline
because
they
don't
have
a
letter
and
we
feel
it's
fair
for
them
to
understand,
be
able
to
call
us
with
questions
before
we
actually
put
this
into
effect.
So
we
don't
want
to
talk
to
them
about
limits
when
they
don't
know
that
there
are
limits.
So
that's
why
we
want
to
follow
up
by
providing
a
letter.
One
more
question
sure.
A
B
I
Work
very
closely
together
with
Christine
Renard
em,
and
when
there
are
individuals
who
have
larger
rehab
projects,
we
really
send
them
to
Christine
who
will
help
them
complete
an
application.
We
also
now
have
in
daraa
and
Bree
Bree,
especially
will
who
will
help
they've
even
been
out
two
home
visits.
Christine
Renard
is
notary,
so
we've
done
power
of
attorney
paperwork
on
site
so
that
that
an
individual
could
sign
documents.
For
you
know
one
of
the
relatives,
so
you
know
we.
We
really
work
hand-in-hand.
So
I'm
sorry
took
your
fires,
no.
J
That's
quite
all
right.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
there's
no
absolute
dollar
limit
for
cdbg
housing
rehab.
However,
due
to
the
requirements
that
HUD
keeps
adding
on
the
environmental
reviews
and
all
those
sorts
of
things,
if
it's
under
about
five
thousand
dollars,
it
just
generally
isn't
something
that
is
very
effective
to
be
done,
but
most
of
the
time
we
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
problems.
J
Most
of
them
are
well
over
that
now
there
can
be
exceptions,
obviously
emergency
things
like
a
furnace
replacement
or
something
that
like
that,
might
be
much
less,
but
you
know
it's.
We
do
have
I
think
most
of
our
rehabs
are
now
at
least
five
thousand
dollars
and
can
go
up
to
50,000
per
for
a
single-family
house.
That's.
A
A
Last
item
on
our
agenda
for
discussion
is
the
city,
employee,
drug
testing
policy.
We
got
at
the
meeting
tonight,
memo
from
deputy
city
manager,
Eric
a
story
and
our
human
resources,
division
manager,
jennifer
Lynn,
welcome
with
additional
information.
It's
a
follow-up,
I'm
guessing
to
a
previous
inquiry
about
our
drug
testing
policy
good
evening
manager.
K
I
just
wanted
to
go
over
the
drug
testing
policy,
so
I
think
in
your
packets.
You
have
both
the
memo
and
then
you
actually
have
the
pertinent
section
of
the
personnel
manual
that
actually
talks
about
the
drug
and
alcohol
testing
policy.
So
if
you
want
to
just
look
at
those
really
quickly
so
basis
tonight,
so
basically
we
have
four
reasons
for
testing
pre-employment
returns
to
work,
promotions,
transfers,
voluntary
reduction
and
then
reasonable
suspicion.
So
I
think.
Most
importantly,
let's
talk
about
the
reasonable
suspicion
category.
So
there
are
three
categories
within
the
reasonable
suspicion
category.
K
So
obviously,
after
an
accident
or
an
injury,
there
can
be
a
drug
and
alcohol
test.
That's
ordered
by
the
supervisor.
Another
category
would
be
for
performance.
So
if
somebody
is
walking
around
acting
funny
speaking
funny,
the
supervisor
can
also
order
a
drug
test
as
well,
and
then
a
third
party
report
is
a
separate
category
under
reasonable
suspicion.
So
let's
say,
you've
got
a
John
Doe
Public
Citizen
sees
an
employee
and
sees
something
that
might
make
him
wonder
if
this
is
a
person
that
might
be
under
the
influence.
K
They
can
obviously
also
call
in
to
request
a
drug
test
as
well,
so
those
are
the
three
categories
that
make
up
reasonable
suspicion.
So
if
you
wanted
to
ask
any
questions
specifically
about
reasonable
suspicion
feel
free
to
do
that,
and
then
we've
got
some
consequences
of
positive
tests
for
employees.
So
obviously,
if
you
have
depending
on
appear
in
a
safety
sensitive
position,
you've
got
some
consequences
for
testing
positive
for
drug
and
alcohol
testing
as
well.
So
sometimes
you
might
be
terminated
right
away,
depending
on
your
situation
or
depending
on
the
circumstances.
A
K
So
some
current
weaknesses
are
that
the
post-accident
post-injury
testing
is
now
discretionary.
So
it's
really
going
to
be
incumbent
upon
the
supervisor
to
notify
the
department
head
or
HR
to
recommend
drug
testing
that
really
isn't
being
done
very,
very
uniformly
and
very
consistently.
So
the
one
of
the
recommendations
that
I
would
make
is
that
accident
testing
becomes
mandatory,
so
post
any
accident
post.
Any
injury,
a
drug
and
alcohol
test
would
be
ordered.
That
seems
to
be
the
trend.
That's
happening
with
a
lot
of
municipalities,
so
just
to
give
you
some
name.
K
A
few
bensenville
geneva
round
lake
beach,
Matson
Huntley
Skokie
Niles
highland
park
mount
prospect.
Those
are
all
some
of
the
municipalities
that
are
requiring
requiring
post-accident
testing
as
opposed
to
a
mandatory
discretionary
situation.
So
I
think
that
those
would
be
very
good
steps
to
take
for
Evanston.
They
would
obviously
deter
the
effect
of
drug
and
alcohol
use,
increased
caution
while
operating
city
vehicles,
accountability,
risk
management
and
most
of
all,
compliance
with
the
federal
drug,
free
workplace
act
for
federal
grant
and
then
just
to
give
you
some
numbers.
I
think
numbers
or
is
great.
K
You've
asked
for
a
lot
of
numbers
tonight,
so
in
2014
we
had
98
accidents,
70
of
them
involved,
other
vehicles
parked
or
otherwise,
and
then
just
this
year
alone
from
2015
to
july,
59,
accidents
and
37
of
those
involving
other
vehicles.
So,
as
you
can
see,
a
lot
of
accidents
are
taking
place
by
city
employees,
whether
it's
a
accident
or
whether
it's
a
purposeful
thing
or
whether
it's
just
negligence
or
maybe
irresponsible,
behavior
I
think
that
those
would
all
be
really
great
instances
of
post-accident
testing
being
required
and
mandated
by
the
city.
The.
A
K
F
Well,
question
I
comment:
I,
think
that
that's
excellent,
I
think
they
after
any
incident
there
ought
to
be.
My
question
really
goes
back
to
third
party
reports.
I
just
want
to
be
real
clear
on
on
how
that
would
work.
Suppose
I
saw
Erica
walking
down
the
hall.
She
stumbles
over
something
and
I
report
that
does
she
have.
K
H
K
It
does
require
independent
corroboration,
so
if
a
third
party
report
came
in
two
HR,
for
instance,
I
would
actually
send
one
of
my
stuff
or
I
would
actually
go
and
actually
talk
to
that
person.
So
if,
in
that
in
situation,
you'd
call
me
up
and
say:
I
saw
Erica,
she
was
acting
crazy
on
the
street.
I
would
actually
go.
K
Seek
her
out
talk
to
her
look
at
her
to
make
a
determination
as
best
as
I
can
or
maybe
have
a
police
officer
come
out
to
maybe
just
look
at
her
and
to
see
if
there
are
any
other
sorts
of
evidence
or
in
dish
of
influence
before
I
would
recommend.
Attractors
I
would
not
simply
just
take
your
word
for
it.
I
would
definitely
corroborate
it,
given
that
it's
a
third-party
report
and.
K
Done
on
every
third
party
group
or
absolutely-
and
we
actually
don't
have
any-
I
have
no
evidence
or
history
of
third-party
reports.
I
know
that
this
is
in
here
specifically
as
part
of
the
policy,
so
I
think
that
in
a
situation
where
there
might
be
a
third-party
report,
there
would
definitely
be
some
independent
corroboration
that
would
be
required
all.
G
K
Would
be
independent
corroboration
if
practical,
so
obviously
if
it
was
out
on
the
scene
out
in
the
field,
and
there
was
a
supervisor
that
had
observed
an
employee
acting
strangely,
there
would
need
to
be
some
evidence
of
influence
or
evidence
of
odd
behavior.
That
supervisor
would
be
required
to
talk
to
the
department
head
about
it
and
again,
if
practical,
there
would
be
a
secondary
corroborating
person,
I
would
come
and
say
you
know
what
I'm
looking
at
you
and
I
agree
and
then
mandate.
The
drug
test
is.
G
K
Is
supposed
to
be,
it
is
supposed
to
be
documented,
whether
it's
an
email
or
whether
it's
a
memo
I
would
believe
that
if
the
evidence
did
not
support
that,
so
let's
say
the
department
had
actually
got.
The
information
then
spoke
to
that
employ
and
didn't
necessarily
agree
with
the
supervisor
that
had
seen
the
original
evidence
of
possible
influence.
I
would
think
that
the
department
head
would
also
follow
up
with
HR
and
say
you
know
what
I
disagree
with
the
supervisors
decision
or
I
disagree
with
the
supervisors
observations
so.
G
K
G
You
clarify
that
in
the
you
know,
and
not
saying
now,
I'm
saying
in
the
policy
as
well
like
what
you
know,
what
supervisor
is
supposed
to
do
with
documentation
etc.
If
there's
any
reasonable
suspicion,
I
mean
third-party.
It
sounds
like
there's
no
history
of
that,
but
you
know
if
we
have
supervisors
doing,
I
would
like
to
see
more
documentation.
Madam.
L
Chair
members
of
the
committee,
this
is
an
ongoing
policy
evaluation
that
we've
been
working
closely
with
the
Union
and
the
employees
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
possible
to
ensure
that
the
safety
of
the
residents
and
the
employees
is
met
to
the
fullest
extent.
So
a
couple
of
the
suggestions
that
came
out
of
our
meetings
with
the
unions
and
the
employees
was
some
concern
over
the
idea
that
we
have
this.
If
practical,
it's
not
always
practical
and
in
order
to
ensure
safety
and
make
sure
that
we
can
cover
what
needs
to
be
covered.
L
Sometimes
it's
not
practical,
but
in
those
instances
we
make
every
effort
to
ensure
that
it
is,
and
there
will
be
some
additional
enhancements
made
to
the
policy
out
of
these
meetings,
but
we're
not
complete
completed
with
that
process.
Yet,
and
there's
also
going
to
be
some
additional
training
so
we're
this
fall.
We're
going
to
meet
with
all
supervisors
go
through
the
entire
policy.
Make
sure
that
everybody
understands
that.
L
G
Like
to
see
a
specific
set
process
for
documentation
of
any
allegation
of
a
reasonable
suspicion
in
that
sense,
I
understand
that
if
text
it
as
actual
testing,
isn't
practical,
it's
even
more
important
in
those
cases
that
we
document
the
allegations
against
our
employees
in
this
regard.
So
if
we
could
somehow
flush
that
out
in
here
further
just
the
documentation
procedures
or
set
policy,
it
department
policy
and
procedures
for
that
I'd
love
to
see
that
Thanks,
okay,.
B
You,
madam
chair,
just
as
a
follow-up
tall
to
Miller
and
will
staff
receive
any
training
to
be
able
to
define
that
suspicious
behavior,
that
that
makes
me
a
little
bit
nervous
and
I
understand
if
you,
if
you
have
a
police
officer
that
to
some
degree
may
extend
but
who
and
our
staff
will
be
trained
to
be
able
to
do
that.
Any.
K
We've
got
a
lot
of
great
DUI
officers,
so
they
would
be
able
to
actually
help
us
identify
and
show
us
and
even
demonstrate
certain
things
that
we
might
be
looking
for,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
the
times.
We
all
have
some
layman
ideas
of
what
being
under
the
influences,
but
to
have
some
experts
come
out
and
really
train
us
on
how
to
make
those
observations
would
be
really
helpful.
You.
A
G
A
With
the
others,
understanding
that
this
is
a
departmental
policy
change
that
doesn't
require
City,
Council
approval,
but
obviously
information
to
City
Council.
So
the
points
are
to
eliminate
subjectivity,
looks
like
yeah
we'd,
like
you
to
go
down
that
road
for
what
it's
worth.
Knowing
that
we're
not
approving
this
policy
changing
accident
to
incident
and
then
clarifying
the
documentation
for
reasonable
suspicion
and
then
think
about
defining
the
word
practical,
you
might
mean.
Actually
they
were
practicable.
A
G
K
A
A
F
Could
we
please
review
on
the
policy
on
beehives
I
thought
that
there
was
something
in
there
about
contacting
neighbors
I
mean
this
happened
so
long
ago?
I.
Don't
remember,
but
I'd
like
for
us
to
look
at
that
again,
because
I
think
that
seemed
like
doing.
We
had
a
discussion
like
this
when
we
were
looking
at
establishing
behind
I.
A
F
And
roosters
so
so
yeah.
But
if
we
could
look
at
that
again
because
I
think
that
that
is
something
that
we
should
look
at
again
and
because
I
think
neighbors
do
have
rights.
A
H
I
took
a
quick
look
at
the
new
code.
I
didn't
see
anything,
although
I
thought
to
that
there
was
something
in
there
with
regard
to
safety
of
neighbors
associated
with
and
I
know
that
this
subject
came
up
when
we
talked
about
fire
pits
with
regard
to
neighbors
who
may
suffer
from
asthma,
or
things
like
that
and
I.
H
Don't
think
in
that
case
either
that
we
were
specific
about
what
the
neighbors
rights
are,
but
I
think
there
was
some
wording
about
using
best
judgment
or
something
or
work
with
the
neighbors,
but
it
may
be
that
we
have
to
go
further
with
the
the
beehives
I.
Don't
know
it
is
certainly
they
so
serious
concern
for
those,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
folks
who
are
severely
allergic
to
to
Hastings,
but.
F
If
nothing
else
I
think
notification
is
so
important
and
that
you
know
we
may
not
be
able
they
may
not
be
able
to
stop
it.
I'm
not
saying
that,
but
notification,
which
is
just
a
common
courtesy
and
we
may
have
just
assumed
that
people
would
do
that
I'm,
not
sure
I.
Don't
remember
I,
just
remember
the
incidents.
I,
don't
remember
all
the
conversation,
but
if
we
could
review
it
would
be
greater.
