If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Okay,
mister!
It's
key.
If
you'd
take
your
seat,
I'd
appreciate
it
we're
going
to
call
the
meeting
to
order.
This
is
the
Human
Services
Committee,
it's
Monday,
October,
2nd
2017,
it
is
7:20
p.m.
we
do
have
a
quorum.
The
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
approval
of
meeting
minutes
of
September
6th
is
their
motion
to
second.
B
A
C
Some
of
these
pertain
to
Human
Services.
Some
of
this
pertains
to
the
city
in
general.
I
feel
too
many
residents
do
not
understand
what
is
going
on
here
with
government
I.
Think
there's
a
indication.
The
city,
manager
and
staff
may
not
want
us
to
understand
at
the
last
council,
the
city
purchased
body,
cameras
and
I'm,
not
against
that
by
the
way,
using
long-term
debt.
Put
simply,
this
is
using
a
mortgage
mortgage
to
buy
groceries.
C
Residents
are
about
to
see
huge
increases
in
their
water
bills
for
waste
disposal.
Of
course,
in
the
past,
when
this
was
done
last
time,
staff
rate
abused
numbers
that
were
highly
inflated,
I
believe
almost
close
to
$900,000
in
yard
waste
sticker
sales,
which
transferred
about
a
third
of
that
we
are
now
in
the
pasa
and
a
lawsuit,
obviously
was
so
cocky
about
water
sales.
For
the
last
five
years,
I've
asked
that
we
basically
get
a
consultant
in
here
to
figure
out
this.
What's
going
on
with
the
water
department,
I
think,
what's
extremely
critical.
C
Here
is
when
you
go
to
court,
and
you
can't
figure
out
what's
going
on
and
the
judge
asks
it's
going
to
be.
Very
very
interesting,
I
really
ask
ourselves
if
the
people
here
can't
run
the
basic
operations
of
the
city
correctly.
How
are
we
going
to
create
equity
and
changes
to
the
police
department
that
serves
the
public?
Of
course
you
can
hire
people
like
an
equity
coordinator
or
another
consultant
to
train
police
officers,
but
these
have
high
cost
and
I
believe
little
results.
The
I
think
I'm.
C
Of
course,
that's
really
not
true
what
happened
with
Fleetwood
Jourdain.
Anyone
can
look
at
it
and
and
figure
it
out.
City
staff
didn't
created
the
correct
estimate
or
proposal
and
when
they
only
got
one
bidder
and
clearly
they
changed
the
scope
and
they
have
to
put
more
money
into
this
whole
thing,
and
they
said
they
mentioned
this,
but
I
think
that's
a
problem.
I
think
council
members
claiming
that
certain
residents
aren't
welcome
at
the
beach
or
Harley
Clark
to
me,
I
would
have
to
ask
those
council
members.
C
Why
aren't
you
correcting
this,
and
rather
than
doing
nothing,
I
think
we
need
to?
If
you
really
want
to
look
at
ways,
we
need
to
increase,
asked
access
to
the
beaches
and
services
rather
than
creating
what
I
would
call
racial
excuses
for
political
purposes
and
I
think
that's
very
troubling
when
we
use
we
try
to
use
racial
excuses
to
get
political
ways
here
and
that's
a
very
serious
problem,
rather
than
dealing
with
facts
and
the
truth
and
I
keep
on
saying
the
city,
it's
maybe
both
ethically
and
financially
bankrupt.
Thank
you.
D
As
as
an
item
of
importance,
I
feel
confident
that
as
a
city
we're
doing
an
incredible
job
in
that
area,
but
I'm
missing
the
empowerment
and
so
I
was
here
a
month
ago
to
talk
about
the
three
issues
that
I
feel
are
really
pressing
in
our
community.
When
it
comes
to
empowering
members
like
myself
to
be
able
to
live
in
this
community,
affordable
housing
was
one
of
them.
D
Employment
opportunities
was
another
one
and
just
the
basic
of
just
treatment
from
from
the
city
to
the
to
the
members,
especially
for
members
that
don't
speak
another
language
at
the
meeting
last
month,
you
approved
signs
to
say
that
this
is
a
welcoming
community
and
I.
Don't
know
if
we're
able
to
put
up
those
signs
just
yet
so
I
think
that
that
decision
was
a
bit
premature
and
it
would
have
been
nice
as
a
way
to
celebrate
the
the
closure
of
the
work.
D
That's
going
to
be
done
through
this
equity
and
empowerment,
work,
I
think
that
a
lot
of
money
is
gonna,
go
into
those
signs
and
I
just
I.
Don't
necessarily
think
that
those
signs
going
up
now
really
are
the
truth
of
what
they
state.
Additionally,
there
was
some
translation
around
the
signs
and
we're
going
to
invest
more
money
in
translating
those
signs
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
reach
out
to
local
people
that
might
be
able
to
translate
or
there's
things,
there's
a
thing
called
a
dictionary,
and
that
could
also
help
to
translate.
D
Everyone
is
welcome
here,
so
I
do
this
work
internationally.
I
do
economic
and
Community
Development
internationally
and
what's
very
important
through
anybody.
That
applies
for
such
a
project
through
the
work
that
I
do.
Is
the
community
needs
assessment
and
I?
Don't
think
that
that
has
been
thoroughly
done
and
I
would
just
implore
the
city
and
the
individuals
that
are
in
charge
of
this
to
just
look
within
the
city's
records.
Look
within
the
history
of
our
city,
what
we
have
done,
what
hasn't
worked?
D
What
has
what
has
worked
and
and
start
from
there
I
think
that
we
really
are
wasting
a
lot
of
time
and
empowering
people
that,
like
myself,
who
might
not
be
able
to
afford
to
live
in
Evanston
beyond
two
years,
so
it
really
is
urgent
that
there's
an
emphasis
to
the
empowerment
of
the
community
through
this
work.
Thank
you
thank.
E
I
had
a
few
questions
from
this
evenings
packet
I
was
happy
to
see
the
reporting
of
contact
card
data,
but
I
found
it
confusing
because
there
were
a
mix
of
percentages
and
numbers
reported,
which
makes
it
very
hard
to
take
a
quick
look
and
see
what
the
data
is
telling
us.
So
I
prepared
a
different
chart,
but
there
was
a
typo
in
my
spreadsheet,
which
made
all
the
entries
wrong.
So
I
cannot
give
it
to
you,
but
maybe
I'll
email
it.
E
What
we
see
is
that
67%
of
the
juveniles
that
are
stopped,
our
African
American
and
29
percent
of
them
are
white.
Interestingly,
we
see
that,
even
though
we
have
far
more
black
youth
being
stopped
than
white
youth,
they're
arrested
at
half
the
rate
and
there
is
any
kind
of
action
taken
at
one-third
the
rate.
E
So
my
conclusion
is
that
we're
stopping
or
having
too
many
contacts
with
black
kids
because
they're
not
bearing
any
fruit,
so
I
invite
you
guys
to
think
about
that
and
then
I
had
two
things:
that
from
the
complaint
records
that
I
wanted
to
react
to.
One
I
don't
know
the
difference
between
a
complaint
register
and
a
departmental
inquiry,
and
these
are
the
two
categories
that
I
see
month
after
month
in
the
reports
and
I
couldn't
find
any
definition
of
them
online.
So
it'd
be
interesting.
E
If
we
could
get
an
explanation
of
that
in
the
report,
labeled
D
117
OH
the
complainant
alleged
that
he
received
poor
treatment
by
one
or
more
police
officers.
I
can't
remember
because
he's
black
right
below
that
it
states
that
if
the
allegations
were
upheld,
that
these
officers
would
be
in
violation
of
Earl
6in
rule
30,
which
are
in
competency
or
inefficiency,
and
failure
to
promptly
process
or
inventory
recovered
property.
E
If
the
complaint
is
about
being
mistreated
due
to
race
I,
don't
know
why
that
rule
wasn't
listed
and
I
also
wanted
to
note
that
the
complaints
received
dispositions
from
ten
members
of
CPAC,
the
CPAC
page
on
the
city
website,
said
that
it
is
a
committee
of
no
fewer
than
four
and
no
more
than
nine
members,
so
I'm
not
sure
why
there
is
a
tenth
member
on
CPAC
and
I'd
be
interested
to
get
an
understanding
of
that
as
well.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very.
A
F
I
am
Liliana
saucedo
and
I'm
with
open
communities
and
I'm
here
for
the
equity
and
empowerment
plan
and
latina.
I
am
very
concerned
about
that.
The
latins
community
make
their
voices
heard
in
the
equity
plan,
as
Rebecca
said,
I'm
worried
that
the
welcoming
signs
are
not
enough
to
create
change
in
how
the
city
employees
see
the
Latino
community.
F
Gonna
look
another
way
to
solve
the
problem,
so
I
really
think
that
a
person
who
speaks
their
language
and
understand
the
problematic
will
be
great
in
this
plan
and
I
was
reviewing
that
equity
and
empowerment.
New
plan-
and
it
talks
about
in
the
poetry
what
it
talks
about
community
engagement.
It
says
three
focus
groups:
I,
don't
think
that
these
three
focus
groups
I'm
gonna,
be
totally
impact
empathic
with
the
Latino
community.
We
need
someone
who
really
understand
who
really
knows
that
all
the
barriers
that
the
community
goes
through.
Thank
you
thank.
A
G
A
I
do
okay,
it
is
the
commemorative
plaque
policy
for
the
city
of
Evanston
staff
for
council
requests,
outlines
a
policy
to
place
commemorative
plaques
within
the
city
of
Evanston,
and
staff
also
recommends
the
Human
Services
Committee
accept
the
request
by
North
Shore
University
Health
System,
to
place
a
commemorative
plaque
at
the
location
over
the
first
Evanston
Hospital
at
8:06
Emerson.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
okay
I'd
like
to
speak
to
this?
A
If
there's
not
anyone
else
who
wants
to
the
the
plaques
that
are
in
your
packet,
all
of
them
are
in
the
first
ward,
which
is
wonderful
and
we
get
to
be
a
historic
ward,
which
I
really
appreciate.
We've
and
and
I
think
we
absolutely
do
need
a
policy,
as
we
discussed
last
time,
the
the
types
of
plaques,
the
one
at
whose
drugstore
the
Davis
Street
fish
market
and
the
other
one
at
Bookmans
alley.
A
A
This
in
this
application
to
that
this
application
is
strictly
for
historical
plaques
and
I.
Think
that
the
other.
The
other
thing
that
we
really
need
to
do
is
in
the
case
of
the
North
Shore
University
Health
System
plaque,
where
they
want
to
locate
that
is
at
8:06
Emerson.
That
is
again
now
private
property,
where
Sherman
Gardens
stands
and
I
talked
to
one
of
the
trustees
they're
having
their
trustee
meeting
tonight.
A
They
had
not
heard
of
the
thing
about
it,
so
if
even
it's
being
considered
to
go
on
the
on
the
wall
of
that
building,
there
needs
to
be
some
communication.
So
I'm
I'm
hopeful
that
we
will
hold
this
in
committee
until
our
next
meeting
to
allow
the
hospital
to
reach
out
to
to
the
building.
It
happens
to
be
a
co-op,
so
they
do
have
a
board
of
trustees
that
manages
that
building
and
if
it's
going
to
go
on
public
property,
I
would
like
to
know
where
the
site
is.
H
Well,
I'd
like
to
make
a
recommendation
that
I
understand
the
street.
Signs
that
are
in
honor
of
a
significant
resident
is
a
10-year
life
on
there,
and
I
would
like
to
make
a
recommendation
that
we
honor
them,
while
they
are
still
here
serving
and
not
take
them
down,
if
they're
still
serving
the
community
in
the
way
that
they
were
first
honored
with
the
street
sign.
Okay,
I.
A
I
The
members
of
the
committee
good
evening,
yeah
I,
think
the
last
time
the
this
issue
has
discussed.
There
was
a
request
that
we
review
with
each
Ward
Alderman
for
those
individuals
that
were
still
living.
Some
of
them
have
passed
since
the
time
had
come
up,
so
we
were
going
to
do
that.
I,
don't
believe
we
have
I
got
that
far
yet.
So
we
will
review
that
with
you
and
I.
Think
direction.
I
received
from
the
committee
was
that
if
the
feeling
was
that
there
need
to
be
an
extension
that
we
would
have
an
extension
thank.
F
I
Deal
with
it
as
a
ward
by
word:
Thank
You,
bishop
aldermen
members,
the
committee,
if
I
may
just
one
additional
issue
regarding
the
the
plaques.
Thank
you
for
the
the
time
this
evening
to
go
through
the
proposed
policy.
We
have
been
working
with
the
North
Shore
community
health
system
for
several
months
on
this.
If
we
are
able
to
do
as
the
chair
is
requested,
could
we
come
back
to
the
full
council
with
that
particular
plaque
and
then
have
the
policy
come
back
to
this
committee?
I
I
know
that
they're
anxious
to
do
this
before
the
end
of
the
year,
their
chief
executive
is
retiring.
The
board
president,
the
Kimberley's,
been
working
with
a
long
time
at
mustn
resident
who
served
for
a
long
time
as
their
board
chairs,
leaving
as
well
at
the
end
of
the
year.
So
there's
many
factors
with
North
Shore
that
they
would
like
to
do
this
before
the
end
of
the.
A
Trustees
at
Sherman
Gardens
when
I
talked
to
them.
I
said:
please
bring
this
up
at
your
meeting
tonight.
This
is
all
the
information
that
I
have
right
now.
I
have
not
seen
what
the
plaque
is
going
to
look
like
or,
and
obviously
they
want
to
know
they
are
willing,
while
they're
having
their
their
monthly
meeting
tonight,
they're
willing
to
have
a
mid
month
meeting
that'd.
I
Been
following
the
hospital's
been
following
our
lead:
they
realized
that
what
they've
requested
has
been
something
that's
been
a
little
non-standard
and
this
committees
asked
for
us
to
make
it
standard.
So
we're
happy
to
do
that
up
so
we're
if
it's
all
right
with
the
committee,
if
we're
able
to
get
this
resolved
with
the
building
and
with
North
Shore,
if
we
could
bring
it
back
to
the
full
council
before
the
end
of
October,
we
would
appreciate
yeah.
A
I
I
A
J
You,
mr.
chairman
and
members
of
the
dais,
the
police
issues,
work
plan
will
be
covered
by
deputy
chief
Pickett
and
the
complaints
will
be
covered
by
commander
right.
I
asked
for
a
couple
of
minutes
to
address
the
committee
and
the
community
on
two
issues.
The
first
one
of
the
Beatty
complaint
will
not
be
addressed
tonight,
as
the
CPAC
ask
for
continuation
from
its
special
meeting
towards
regular
meeting
to
give
a
review
of
that
manner.
J
Their
full
attention
I
think
that
it
kind
of
put
off
our
timeline
a
little
bit
so
we're
slated
to
have
that
back
in
for
the
November
meeting.
The
second
issue
I
want
to
address
is
there's
been
some
misinformation
about
a
police
department
and
FOIA
related
matters.
I
want
to
call
to
the
attention
of
the
public
and
the
the
committee
that
the
police
department
has
trained
in
experienced
FOIA
officers
that
understand
their
job
very
well
have
been
doing
in
a
professional
manner
for
a
number
of
years.
J
Further
I
think
that
our
sensitivity
to
the
victims
is
of
paramount
importance.
There
are
events
that
happen
in
all
of
our
homes
that
that
person
may
need
to
know
exactly.
What's
in
that
police
report,
but
I'm
not
sure
everybody
in
the
worldwide
web
needs
to
know,
and
so
that,
as
we
move
towards
resolving
that
issue,
I
want
to
assure
the
members
of
the
committee
in
the
community.
The
police
department
understands
its
responsibilities
when
it
comes
to
FOIA.
We
are
not
screening
or
monitoring
anything
that
has
to
do
with
officer
conduct.
J
J
If
you
are
a
legal
representative
of
someone
and
asked
for
a
police
document,
its
redacted
in
a
different
manner,
so
an
if
you're,
an
uninvolved
party
that
may
have
some
legal
access
to
the
document
and
I
think
that's
where
we're
getting
our
wires
crossed
that
that
victims
need
to
know
what
we
wrote
down.
Not
everybody
needs
to
know
what
we
wrote
down.
Okay,
thank
you
again
for
the
courtesy.
Thank
you.
B
J
November,
but
once
again,
I
am
mindful
of
the
time
constraints
of
these
gather
I'm
under
no
illusion
that
that
will
be
quick
get
together,
and
so
it
will
have
the
answers
prepared,
we'll
be
ready
to
do
it
and
in
focused
on
the
questions
that
are
on
point
to
this
matter
and
see
if
we
can
get
through
those
the
same
night,
because
these
they
seem
to
be
fellow
travelers.
Yes,.
B
A
K
Good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
James
Picard,
deputy
chief
field
operations,
I
have
just
two
quick
updates.
As
the
last
time
this
was
discussed.
The
director
your
attention
to
number
four,
the
Cook
County
Sheriff's
Department
crisis
intervention
team
training
during
the
last
update
and
13
officers
had
attended.
Since
that
time,
two
additional
officers
have
been
trained.
K
Two
more
would
be
trained
during
a
study
session
from
October
16th
through
the
20th
and
then
hopefully
we'll
get
to
more
inside
the
class
on
December
4th
through
the
8th
and
if
I
could
direct
your
attention
to
item
number
17,
the
Civic
Center
office
hours
and
used
to
be
held
in
room
G
to
0-3.
That
has
been
changed
to
room
3601
and
it's
still
calling
for
an
appointment
and
that
will
still
be
between
9:30
and
6:00
p.m.
so.
Those
are
the
two
only
updates.
Since
the
last
time
we
met
okay.
K
B
F
B
K
B
K
Well,
you
know
what
every
officer
has
been
given
the
password
and
been
able
to
go
inside
it
and
study
it,
and
it's
just
our
just
like
our
old
General
Orders.
So
all
the
officers
and
staff
and
have
been
given
access
to
that.
So
actually
that
should
have
been
implemented,
but
I'll
make
sure
I
get
that
and
get
back
to
you
on
that.
K
B
B
A
I
G
I
L
I
L
Sure
so,
as
I
stated,
the
first
meeting
will
be
held
on
October
12th
at
6
p.m.
here
at
the
city,
Civic
Center.
We
will
have
it
has
its
own
designated
webpage
under
boards
and
commissions,
and
we
will
have
our
meetings
agendas
as
well
as
minutes
posted
there
and
any
additional
materials
that
our
packets
are
part
of
the
the
meeting
we
haven't
set
a
schedule
yet
for
the
duration,
but
once
the
sched
that
we
will
share
with
HSE
in.
I
L
A
B
So
I
met
with
officer
leaks
to
go
through
this,
since
I
wasn't
able
to
go
to
CPAC
meeting,
and
my
concern
was
also
actually
voiced
by
karen
court.
Right
in
terms
of
part
of
the
allegation
was
that
he
was
just.
There
was
racial
bias
by
a
man
african-american,
and
that
was
not
listed
in
the
complaint,
and
so
I
did
communicate
with
the
chief
and
OBS
officers.
That
I
would
like
us
to
list
rule
number
74.
If
that
is
something
that
our
citizens
complain
of.
B
B
My
other
concern
was
in
the
complaint
at
list,
the
bottom
of
page
32
that
there
was
a
DV
or
CD
C,
V
D
that
was
inventoried
from
the
food
for
Less,
that
the
complaint
and
said
would
show
you
know
this
accident
and
that
we
inventory
that
but
later
on,
there
was
some
discrepancy
as
to
if
we
had
it.
If
we
didn't
have
it,
if
you
know
where
it
is
now
and
so
I
think
that
that
rule,
which
I
think
is
thirty
I-
might
be
wrong
I'm.
G
B
M
M
G
M
First,
coming
on
the
committee
in
terms
of
what
this
committees
role
was
in
terms
of
assessing
police
discipline
and,
as
previously
stated
there,
that's,
not
the
authority
of
this
committee
to
issue
discipline,
so
I
would
need
some
more
clarification
as
to
Alderman
Fleming's.
What
is
what
is
she
specifically
requesting
if
she's
requesting
for
the
police
to
review
its
policies
and
procedures
concerning
reviewing
police
complaints
for
allegations
of
racial
bias
and
discrimination
and
including
that
rule
74
going
forward?
M
Even
if
there's
no
evidence
of
the
same
or
if
there
is
evidence
of
the
same,
then
that's
something
that
this
committee
can
refer
back
to
that
subcommittee.
However,
in
terms
of
discipline
to
the
specific
officers
pursuant
to
the
personnel
manuals,
the
Uniform
Peace
Officers
Act,
that's
not
this
committees
role
is
that
the
power
does
of
the
of
the
council.
Okay,.
C
B
I
was
giving
and
me
because
I
wasn't
at
the
CPAC
meeting,
but
I
was
questioning
the
finding
for
that
rule.
So
I
understand
that
I
am
NOT
handing
out
discipline,
recommendations
for
the
officer,
but
I
I
guess
understood
that,
although
we
are
not
ruling
on
these
per
se
that
these
come
to
human
service.
This,
these
complaints
come
to
this
committee
and
we
accept
them.
But
then
we
also
have
the
power
to
look
at
evidence,
and
you
know
video
or
whatever
else
and
to
give
feedback
or
input.
Is
that
incorrect?
That.
M
B
G
B
74
is
subject,
the
complaint
would
be
subject
any
person
or
group
or
allow
any
person
to
be
subjected
to
any
form
of
harassment.
Discrimination.
President
excuse
me
prejudice
or
bias
on
the
basis
of
race,
ethnic
background,
sex
age,
religion
or
any
other
personal
characteristic,
belief
or
affiliation,
and
so
I
would
like
to
have
our
o-p-s
team
ensure
that
that
can
complain
of
rule
number
74
is
always
considered
and
always
listed
when
citizen
brings
that
up
in
their
complaint.
N
If
I
may,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
just
to
give
you
some
history
behind
the
route,
74
I
think
it
was
mentioned
earlier
between
the
different
types
of
complaints,
Dee
eyes
and
complaint
registers.
A
DI
is
a
department
of
inquiry
which
gives
the
department
latitude
to
inquire
into
cases
to
make
sure
for
purposes
of
mitigating
a
citizen
complaint
or
a
sin.
If
a
formal
investigation
is
necessary,
a
complaint
register
is
an
actual
formal
investigation.
Well,
a
complaint
actually
comes
in.
They
sign
a
complaint.
N
It's
a
sworn
affidavit
which
is
required
by
the
statute
for
us
to
proceed
with
a
formal
investigation,
interrogate
the
officer
and
a
complainant
also
available
standards
for
an
interview
in
past
practices
with
rule
74,
as
well
as
other
serious
violations
like
excessive
force,
criminal
statues
that
are
alleged
against
officers.
We
require
that
someone
comes
in
sign
the
affidavit,
which
is
the
officers
raipur
the
statue
and
submit
themselves
to
an
interview.
N
We
don't
perceive
a
formal
investigations
with
those
allegations,
because
those
are
allegations
which
typically
will
lead
to
in
excess
of
three
days
off
or
possibly
termination.
In
this
case,
the
complainant
refused
to
appeal
avail
himself
at
all
refused
to
come
in
and
sign
a
sworn
affidavit,
so
I
did
do
it
in
part.
The
Department
of
inquiry
in
this
incident
I
looked
at
everything
all
the
facts
and
nothing
in
my
inquiry
revealed
that
this
was
based
on
race
or
racial
bias.
N
As
a
matter
of
fact,
the
only
thing
the
complaint
could
tell
me
over
the
phone
was
that
that's
what
he
believed
so
I
didn't
discount
his
his
complaint,
I
actually
rolled
it
up
in
my
narrative
and
I,
sent
it
down
to
the
supervisors.
The
reason
why
the
rules
six,
then
the
rule
thirty
violations
are
in
there
is
because
that
was
revealed
in
the
department
or
inquiry,
but
in
past
practice
for
these
serious
allegations.
G
N
A
F
B
I
understand
some
of
this
process
is
a
little
bit
confusing,
but
what
I
know
is
that
if
someone
goes
online
comes
in,
you
know,
however,
they
make
their
complaint.
They
are
expecting
us
to
investigate
that
fully,
which
you
said
you
did
and
you
you
know
it's
listed
here.
I
think
where
the
disconnect
for
me
comes
in
is
if
I
come
in
and
I
say
you
know,
I
was
stopped
and
given
a
traffic
ticket
because
I'm
a
woman,
if
that's
how
I
feel
whether
or
not
I
have
some
proof
of
that
right,
I
expect.
B
Had
you
looked
at
all
the
evidence
and
something
was
inappropriate
that
maybe
the
gentleman
didn't
complain
about
you
would
have
that
on
the
form,
even
though
he
maybe
didn't
say
that,
because
that's
your
position
so
I
don't
think
we
do
ourselves
a
service
in
the
community
when
people
do
complain
about
things
and
especially
in
terms
of
discrimination,
and
we
don't
at
least
take
it
seriously
enough
I
mean
that
we
are
investigating
it.
Then
we
should
need
to
list
it.
B
So
when
he,
you
know
when
this
person
gets
their
report
back
and
it
says
on
there,
you
know
what
the
rules
are
on.
What
the
ruling
is
that
they
know
we
took
seriously
what
their
complaint
was
and
they
then
they
don't
come
back
in
here,
saying
it,
so
you
didn't
even
take
me
seriously
and
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
since
you
investigated
it
anyway,
I
think
it's
worth
it
to
put
on
this
form
and
the
letter.
Okay,.
N
I
Chair
members
of
the
committee,
alderman
Fleming,
I,
think,
as
the
commander
indicated
under
Illinois
statute,
we
will
investigate
what
has
been
sworn.
We
cannot
investigate
things
that
have
not
been
sworn,
and
so
we
will
continue
to
do
that.
I,
don't
want
anyone
to
hear
this
discussion
in
person
or
otherwise
and
think
we
do
not
take
every
complaint
seriously,
but
we
have
to
do
this
within
the
context
of
appropriate
a
local
law
and
state
law,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
that.
A
Thank
you.
Mr.
city
manager
and
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
this
committee
doesn't
turn
into
the
place
where
complaints
people
feel
that
they
can
bring
their
complaints
and
and
because
that's
not
what
this.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
that
we
do
on
this
committee.
That
covers
a
huge
area
of
human
services
and,
as
mr.
Ford
said,
that's
unless
we
change
the
rules,
that's
not
appropriately
held
here
and
for
the
reasons
the
city
manager
has
outlined.
A
I
think
we're
going
in
the
right
direction
with
this
and
I'm
very
happy
with
it
with
the
committee
and
your
service
on
the
committee.
I
think
we're
we're
hitting
we're
heading
in
the
right
direction,
but
I
just
don't
want
this
committee
to
turn
into
the
place
where
everybody
comes
and
starts
cross-examining
people
in
the
police,
department
and
everyone
else,
because
that's
know
and.
I
I
There
are
options
to
do
that,
but
we
also
have
a
responsibility
to
the
men
and
women
of
the
Avastin
Police
Department
every
single
day
go
out
in
this
community
and
keep
us
safe,
and
we
have
to
balance
that
and
it's
a
hard
thing
or
one
of
the
few
communities
in
Illinois
grappling
with
us,
certainly
among
only
a
handful
that
are
seriously
grappling
with
this
in
this
country.
But
we
have
to
make
sure
that
everyone's
rights
to
protect
everyone's
rights
are
protected
right.
A
Thank
you,
mr.
city
manager,
not
right,
no,
no!
No!
Not
right!
Now
you
can
talk
with
the
city
manager.
I'm
sure
he'd
be
happy
to
speak
with
you,
but
this
is
a
discussion.
That's
happening
up
here
on
the
on
the
committee.
Are
there
any
other
comments
on
on
that?
If
not
we'll
move
to
the
equity
and
empowerment
update?
O
O
So
what
we
have
done
here,
what
is
before
you
is
number
one,
is-
is
kind
of
what
you
have
asked
us
to
do,
and
a
wealth
of
citizen
input.
The
issue
here
before
us
now
is:
how
do
we
get
moving?
As
you
can
see
there
are?
There?
Are
people
concerned
about
how
we're
going
to
move
forward?
I
think
that
there
is
one
of
the
biggest
issues
that
I
have
run
into
is
a
misunderstanding.
I
have
talked
with
several
organizations
who
feel
you
know
how
can
I
be
represented.
O
This
whole
process
is
meant
to
represent
everybody
and
empower
everyone.
The
equity
empowerment
commission
is
meant
so
that
people
can
come
and
and
be
a
representative
of
certain
communities.
That
is
our
goal
to
make
sure
that
that
is
a
very
inclusive
body,
but
the
rest
of
it.
What
I
have
before
you
is
the
plan
for
how
do
we
get
moving
from
here,
and
so,
as
you
can
see,
we've
asked
for
City
Council
actions
that
have
pretty
much
been
taken,
but
then
now
our
next
step
is
to
begin
to
get
to
this
issue
of
equity
training.
O
We
need
a
lot
of
clarity
around
the
language
around
a
common
language.
What
is
equity?
How
do
we
talk
about
equity
and
then
and
with
the
community
engagement?
It's
it's
critically
important
I
have
met
with
a
vast
array
of
folk
who
want
to
be
included,
and
how
do
we
hear
those
voices
becomes
important,
so
the
the
the
training
for
the
staff,
the
training
for
the
council
and
and
community
engagement
are
critical
pieces.
O
The
empowerment
does
come
and
and
I
think
some
of
what
we
talked
about
with
the
police
tonight
is
actually
in
part
of
this
empowerment.
The
empowerment
comes
through
the
entire
process,
but
in
the
beginning,
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
empower
people
to
know
what
their
rights
are.
I
think
that's.
A
big
issue
is
what
are
my
rights
if
I
feel
discriminated
against?
How
do
I
go
to?
Who
do
I
talk
to,
and
so
that's
the
piece
that
we're
working
on
right
now
and
then
I
think
it's
vitally
important.
O
We
have
heard
our
citizens
that
I
think
is
vitally
important
to
make
sure
that
we
are
examining
from
taking
a
step
back
and
examining
our
hiring
policies
or
employment
policies.
How
we
employ
people,
how
we
discipline,
staff
and
such,
and
so
we
I
think
we're
ready,
hopefully
to
take
off
with
this
and
begin
moving
so
that
the
citizens
do
feel
as
if
we
are
finally
taking
some
action
that
will
support
them.
B
O
That's
and
that's
exactly
what
this
does
I
mean
what
this
does
is
it
pulls
us
back
from
those
general
conversations
that
that
we
have
to
have
before
we
move.
This
is
in
conversation,
for
example,
I
was
I've,
been
on
the
phone
with
case
today
and
and
several
days
before
this
and
they're
very
concerned
about
how
can
how
can
we
ensure
that
the
voices
of
people
living
with
disabilities
are
heard?
A
G
You,
madam
chair
dr.
Afridi's,
said
this
very
well
the
very
first
time
that
you
came
up
to
the
podium,
so
I'll
summarize
and
I'll.
Ask
you
to
put
in
your
own
words,
I
think
in
going
out
and
in
doing
your
outreach
and
when
you
speak
to
the
average
resident
I
think
it's
unfair
that
you've
sort
of
been
handed
this
big
boulder
to
carry,
and
that
is
to
solve
all
the
many
many
years
of
racial
injustice
and
everything
else
that
goes
along
with
each
ISM
and
I.
G
And
then,
if
they
have
any
concerns
or
specific
questions,
how
to
access
you
to
make
sure
that
we're
delivering
their
services.
Because
I
would
never
ask
you
or
any
one
individual
to
go
out
and
change
the
community
by
yourself,
even
with
community
partners
at
Evanston,
Township
district
65
Northwestern
I
mean
as
a
city
as
a
town
cradle
career.
We're
really
trying
to
tackle
this,
so
I
will
stop
talking.
And
yes.
O
Thank
you
for
asking
that
question,
because
I
think
that
that's
a
critical
issue
here
is,
and
I
and
I
have
spoken
with
so
many
residents,
I
mean
I.
You
know
that
the
phone
calls
I
take
on
a
daily
basis
about
well.
This
was
pearlies
brutality,
and
this
was
this,
and
this
was
what
I'm
trying
to
get
people
understand
is.
Is
the
purpose
of
this
office
number
one
is
to
make
sure
that
there
is
equity
in
all
city
services?
O
All
of
our
residents
are
receiving
equitable
services
and
that
for
me,
that
that
definitely
includes
making
sure
that
the
staff
understands
how
we
interact
with
with
different
populations,
and
so
that
training
piece
is
to
ensure
that
as
we're
taking
calls
as
we're
going
out
to
the
residence
as
we're
dealing
with
whatever
that
we
are
thinking
about
and
making
sure
that
we
are
bringing
equitable
services
to
everybody.
The
point
of
this
process
that
that
I
have
laid
out
here
is
just
exactly
that
is
I
cannot
refuse
to
be
the
voice
of
every
group
of
people.
O
I
would
do
them
a
disservice
right,
and
so
this
allows
everybody
to
have
input
that
you
can
come
to
the
equity,
empowerment,
Commission.
You
can
apply
to
be
a
commissioner.
You
can
come
to
the
Commission.
We
will
have
open
comments.
We
will
we
will.
You
know,
bring
that
back
to
the
Human
Services
Committee
and
the
other
ways
that
we
are
engaging
people
is
in
as
we
develop
the
equity
training
again.
O
I
was
talking
with
case
today
and
said:
can
you
all
help
us
to
understand
how
we
shape
training
around
dealing
with
people
who
have
physical
disabilities,
and
so
this
is
very
much
an
engagement
process
once
we
get
it
up
and
going,
then
people
can
plug
into
it
and
and
again
a
point
of
our
website
down
here
is
the
whole
point
is:
is:
is
people
just
don't
have
any
clear
direction
about
how
to
file
a
complaint
or
what
a
complaint
really
is,
and
so
you
know
that
our
website
will
line
that
out,
so
that
people
know
where
do
I
go
in
case
of
this,
and
so
the
important
thing
here
is
is
not
for
me
to
be
a
diversity
officer,
not
for
me
to
resolve
the
individual
issues
that
people
are
facing,
but
rather
to
look
at
as
a
whole.
O
How
are
our
policies
inequitable
and
how
can
we
strengthen
those
policies
and
give
you
an
example
with
the
budget
we're
looking
at
the
budget
cuts
right
now
and
I'm
going
through
all
of
those
and
examining
how
many
people
of
color
are
impacted?
It
is
how
many
programs,
in
a
particular
ward,
will
be
impacted.
O
How
many
dollars
will
come
out
of
one
particular
water
out
of
one
particular
department,
and
so
those
are
the
overarching
policies
that
we
want
to
get
to
and
look
at,
because
that's
what
so,
that's
what's
going
to
resolve
our
inequity
in
our
communities?
It
really
that
I
mean
we
have
to
to
the
root
issue
and
the
root
causes.
H
You
so
3b
and
they
develop
a
language
access
plan.
I
want
to
support
the
resident
that
spoke
to
the
barrier
and
the
voice
not
being
heard.
Could
you
give
me
a
little
more
information
on
what
that
plan
looks
like?
Is
it
a
liaison?
Is
it
support
staff
that
speaks
to
the
Latino
community
liaison
for
the
disabled
community,
one
for
Refugees?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
they're,
they're
being
included
and.
O
That's
of
so
so
the
whole
point
is
this:
is
this
is
actually
a
policy?
We
would
be
looking
to
bring
to
City
Council
to
give
us
some
direction
on
what
what
information
should
be
translated,
which
languages
should
it
be
it
translated
into
you
know,
I
mean
you
probably
all
know
and
I
think
the
one
spoke
very
nicely
to
it.
Translation
is
incredibly
expensive.
O
Just
to
have
that
sign,
translate
into
Spanish
was
nine
hundred
seventy
dollars,
and
so
we
did
end
up
reaching
out
to
the
high
school
and
they
are
loaning
us
their
translation
services
so
that
we
don't
have
to
bear
that
cost.
But
in
terms
of
should
our
website
be
in
in
multiple
languages
at
what
point
at
what
percentage,
when
we
reach
a
certain
percentage
of
the
population,
should
we
consider
translating
certain
materials
it?
Should
it
be
emergency
materials
so
that
the
the
whole
idea
is
and
in
communities
are
doing
this?
O
They
have
done
this
quite
well,
but
the
whole
idea
is
to
sort
through
what,
when
do
we
create
serve
programs
and
offerings?
When
do
we
produce
those
materials
in
alternate
languages,
including
I
mean
you
got
Braille
you've
got.
You
have
a
ton
of
things,
so
we
need
a
policy
to
give
direction
to
city
staff
about
when
we
do
that,
and
we
also
have
to
begin
to
build
that
into
the
budget,
because
it's
quite
an
expensive
undertaking
work.
A
couple.
H
O
O
Yes,
but
but
just
to
reassure
you
we
reached
out
to
anyway,
we've
gotten
all
of
the
translations
donated
to
us,
but-
and
so,
if
you
imagine,
I
had
this
plan
translated
and
I
don't
have
the
exact
figure,
but
it
was
around
twelve
hundred
dollars
to
get
three
pages
translated
as
a
Spanish
language,
and
so
we
need
a
policy
we,
you
know,
what
do
you
want
the
staff
to
translate?
You
know
the
website.
What
what
I.
H
H
I'm
asking
that
we
this
act,
this
language
access
plan,
would
it
be
more
than
just
a
translation
but
support
whether
it
is
a
liaison
that
like
was
suggested
or
a
staff
support
of
your
own?
That
can
do
the
outreach
with
you,
because
it
might
be
complicated
to
have
community
meetings
and
other
outreach
and
there's
a
language
barrier.
Oh.
O
I'm
sorry
I
probably
am
NOT
being
clear
here.
This
is
a
team
of
folks
that
would
get
together
to
develop
a
a
policy
that
directs
us
about
when
we
need
to
have
translation
services
available,
whether
it's,
whether
it's
people
who
come
in
and
speak
different
languages,
I
know
we
have
a
list
of
staff
currently
who
offer
translation
services.
But
this
is
a
policy
that
will
direct
us.
For
example,
it'll
say
you
know:
City
Council
meeting
packets
must
also
be
in
Spanish.
It
will
give
us
that
kind
of
clarity
and
direction.
G
Gonna
take
a
stab
at
something
because
I
hear
the
two
points
that
Ottoman
seaman
brings
up
and
I
think
you
call
that
one
thing
very
well,
and
that
is
that
I
heard
from
your
from
your
statement.
Alderman
Simmons,
is
that
so
each
and
I'll
use,
since
we
have
people
here
from
the
spanish-speaking
community
and
I-
think
the
city
manager
can
can
help
to
provide
clarity
in
this.
So,
let's
use
spanish-speaking
population.
Yes,
the
police
department
has
a
spanish-speaking
liaison
I
believe
they
also
have
someone
from
the
LGBTQ
community
as
well
for
an
example.
G
Yes,
I
would
assume
city
manager
and
most
of
our
departments.
We
have
someone
well
represented
within
the
spanish-speaking
community
that
could
provide
that
access.
That
I
think
I
heard
you
you
asking
for,
but
then
the
question
is:
how
do
you
utilize
that
person
in
what
you're
trying
to
do
citywide
so
I,
just
you're
here
you've
asked
the
question.
We
have
a
representative
I
think
in
each
department
that
can
help
provide
the
services
and
now
the
question
is:
how
does
it
fold
into
the
larger
equity
strategy.
I
Sheriff
s
called
and
braithwaite
members
of
the
committee
I
think
the
point
that
dr.
Afridi
was
making
is
such
an
important
because
I
think
we've
been
we've.
We've
we've
done
such
a
poor
job
of
this
over
a
period
of
time.
You
know
it's
not
a
matter
of
saying.
We
have
X
employee.
That
represents
an
entire
group
of
people.
I
That's
not
what
we
want
to
try
to
do
right,
I,
think
what
dr.
Ephraim
is
saying
with
this
plan
is
we
need
to
make
sure
that
every
group
that
wants
to
interact
with
us
and
whatever
special
needs,
what
issues
there
may
be
that
we're
able
to
deal
with
them
throughout
all
departments?
Not
you
know
we
for
many
years
of
those
of
you,
who've
been
on
the
council
for
a
while
will
know.
I
We've
we
had
one
staff
member
who
was
the
spanish-language
staff
member
natalier
difference,
and
at
due
time
someone
spoke
Spanish
the
alarms
went
off
and
Natalie
they
went
running
down
the
stairs
to
help
the
person
right
extraordinary,
individual
smart
person
helped
people,
that's
no
way
to
run
a
railroad.
We
need
to
have
people
in
all
parts
of
our
organization
either.
Have
employees
that
are
there
in
Parks
and
Rec
and
police
and
fire
at
the
Revenue
Office
in
Norfolk?
I
We
don't
have
the
employee
there
that
we
have
access
to
an
employee
or
access
to
a
third
party.
You
know
oral
language.
There
are
many
ways
to
get
that
there
are
services
we
already
subscribe
to.
That
will
give
us
someone
on
the
telephone
again,
that's
not
something
new
of
community
to
be
using
this
for
a
long
time.
What's
here
is
a
plan
so
that
we
can
go
to
the
spanish-speaking
community.
We
can
go
to
the
Eastern
Europeans,
who
are
here
many
many
languages,
they're
involved
and
say
we're
prepared
to
deal
with
everyone
that
comes
here.
I
It's
not
just
one
employee,
we're
gonna
call
and
have
them
run
downstairs
when,
when
someone
of
that
language
speaks
so
I
think
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do.
I
think
we
need
to
balance
costs
associated
with
translate,
for
example,
a
printed
translation.
It
can't
be
very
expensive.
It
may
make
sense
for
us
over
time
to
say:
okay,
a
collateral
duty
for
an
employee
is
translation
and
a
sanchez.
For
example.
A
collateral
duty
for
her
is
to
help
with
translation.
I
She
does
other
very
important
things
to
help
us
in
this
in
this
organization,
but
a
collateral
duty
is
to
help
with
translation.
We
may
end
up
having
three
or
four
employees:
I,
don't
want
to
say
to
Emma
Thor
or
any
other
person
you're,
our
spanish-speaking
employee,
so
sit
there
and
wait
til
someone
needs
something
translated,
that's
not
again,
not
a
way.
I
think
we
need
to
move
forward.
What
dr.
after
he
was
saying
with
this
plan,
is:
let's
be
systematic
about
it.
O
I
could,
if
I
could
add
to
that
I
think
some
clarity.
What
we
have
found
is
that
translation
is
not
as
simple
as
it
seemed.
Not
everybody
can
translate
just
because
you
speak
the
language,
but
people
tell
you
that
not
everybody
can
translate.
There's
an
American
translators
Association
that
does
specialized
translation.
O
Apparently
we
have
made
some
goofs
trying
to
go
to
google
translator
and
you
know
it's
not
a
good
translation
system,
and
so
you
know
I
think
we
do
have
some
resources
available
to
us
both
from
Northwestern
we
reached
out
to
the
Islamic
community
who
translate
the
Arabic
for
us,
and
so
we
do
have
some
options,
but
not
everybody
who
speaks
the
language
can
translate
that
so
it
becomes
very
calm.
Okay,
the
other,
the
other
issues.
O
You
have
different
dialects,
even
in
Spanish,
you
have
caught
a
lot
and
you
have
you
know
Spanish
from
Mexico,
so
you
have
you
had
these
different,
so
you
have
to
be
clear
that
you
are
reaching
everybody
and
then
I
just
like
to
add
to
what
Wally
said.
Is
it's
incredibly
difficult
for
someone
who's
holding
a
job
and
is
trying
to
keep
their
job
and
has
to
run
back
and
forth
it
up
and
down
and
translate
for
the
water
bill?
So
this
just
puts
in
place
number
ones
who
are
resources?
When
can
we
access
them?
O
A
H
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
yes,
that
is
the
goal
that
every
department
can
manage
every
community,
but
I
want
to
state
again.
I
think
that
during
your
outreach
effort,
that
there
is
someone
there
to
communicate
with
the
communities
and
so
I
don't
know
if
that
is
an
appointed
person
on
the
committee,
a
liaison
and
maybe
it's
not
a
staff
person.
But
clearly
there
has
been
some
disconnect
and
there's
some
room
for
opportunity
and
communicating
with
the
with
the
different
communities.
B
So
this
is
just
feedback.
It's
you
don't
need
to
answer
this,
but
you
have
equity
training
for
train-the-trainer.
I
hope
that
we
are
I
hope
that
you
are
looking
at
training
that
deals
with
equity,
particularly
in
government,
and
not
diversity,
and
inclusion,
training
and
I
think
that
many
people
have
completed
that
already
and
I
would
hate
for
staff
to
be
checked
out
of
the
process
early,
because
the
training
is
not
applicable.
I.
B
My
last
thing
is
just
the
plan
overall
I'm
trying
to
remain
hopeful,
but
I
am
losing
some
hope
it.
It
looks
good
on
paper,
but
you
know,
as
this
population
has
talked
about
their
frustrations,
I
know
I've,
you
know
communicated
some
other
frustrations
that
folks
have
in
the
community
and
I'm
really
concerned
as
we
go
into
budget
season.
B
Whatever
your
equity
findings
are
with
that
and
depending
on
how
this
really
is,
is
laid
out
and
received
within
the
community
that
people
you
know,
I,
don't
want
this
to
be
something
where
people
say.
Oh,
you
remember,
I
thought
we
did
the
equity
stuff
and
you
know
that
money
didn't
get
anywhere
so
I'm
I'm.
Very
mindful
of
that
I
think
this
has
we
have
an
opportunity
to
do
some
really
great
work.
We
listen
to
presentations
by
65
and
202
and
they
are
light
years
ahead
of
us.
